REVISERS'  PREFACE 


Ihe  Revision  of  the  Authorised  Version  was  under- 
taken in  consequence  of  a  Resolution  passed  by  both 
houses  of  the  Convocation  of  the  Province  of  Canterbury, 
as  has  been  fully  explained  in  the  Preface  to  the  Revised 
Version  of  the  New  Testament,  which  was  first  published 
in  May,  1881.  When  the  two  Companies  were  appointed 
for  carrying  out  this  work,  the  following  General  Prin- 
ciples, among  others,  were  laid  down  by  the  Revision 
Committee  of  Convocation  for  their  guidance  : — 

*  1.  To  introduce  as  few  alterations  as  possible  into 
the  Text  of  the  Authorised  Version  consistently  with 
faithfulness.' 

'2.  To  limit,  as  far  as  possible,  the  expression  of 
such  alterations  to  the  language  of  the  Authorised  and 
earlier  English  Versions.' 

*  4.  That  the  Text  to  be  adopted  be  that  for  which  the 
evidence  is  decidedly  preponderating;  and  that  when  the 
Text  so  adopted  diifers  from  that  from  which  the  Author- 
ised Version  was  made,  the  alteration  be  indicated  in  the 
margin.' 

^  7,  To  revise  the  headings  of  chapters  and  pages, 
paragraphs,  italics,  and  punctuation.' 

In  order  to  shew,  the  manner  in  which  the  Old  Testa- 
ment Company  have  endeavoured  to  carry  out  their  in- 
structions, it  will  be  convenient  to  treat  the  subjects  men- 
tioned in  the  foregoing  rules  in  a  somewhat  different 
order. 

It  will  be  observed  that  in  Rule  4  the  word  *  Text'  is 
used  in  a  different  sense  from  that  in  Rule  1,  and  in  the 
case  of  the  Old  Testament  denotes  the  Hebrew  or  Ara- 
maic original  of  the  several  books.  In  this  respect  the 
task  of  the  Revisers  has  been  much  simpler  than  that 
which  the  New  Testament  Company  had  before  them. 
The  Received,  or,  as  it  is  commonly  called,  the  Massoretic 
Text  of  the  Old  Testament  Scriptures  has  come  down  to 
us  in  manuscripts  which  are  of  no  very  great  antiquity, 
and  which  all  belong  to  the  same  family  or  recension*. 
That  other  recensions  were  at  one  time  in  existence  is 
probable  from  the  variations  in  the  Ancient  Versions,  the 
oldest  of  which,  namely  the  Greek  or  Septuagint,  was 


'The  earliest   MS.  of   which   the   age  is  certainly  known  bears   date 
A.D.  91& 


made,  at  least  in  part,  some  two  centuries  before  the 
Christian  era.  But  as  the  state  of  knowledge  on  the 
subject  is  not  at  present  such  as  to  justify  any  attempt  at 
an  entire  reconstruction  of  the  text  on  the  authority  of 
the  Versions,  the  Revisers  have  thought  it  most  prudent 
to  adopt  the  Massoretic  Text  as  the  basis  of  their  work, 
and  to  depart  from  it,  as  the  Authorised  Translators  had 
done',  only  in  exceptional  cases..  With  regard  to  the 
variations  in  the  Massoretic  Text  itself,  the  Revisers 
have  endeavoured  to  translate  what  appeared  to  them  to 
be  the  best  reading  in  the  text,  and  where  the  alternative 
reading  seemed  sufficiently  probable  or  important  they 
have  placed  it  in  the  margin.  In  some  few  instances  of 
extreme  difficulty  a  reading  has  been  adopted  on  the 
authority  of  the  Ancient  Versions,  and  the  departure 
from  the  Massoretic  Text  recorded  in  the  margin.  In 
other  cases,  where  the  versions  appeared  to  supply  a  very 
probable  though  not  so  necessary  a  correction  of  the 
text,  the  text  has  been  left  and  the  variation  indicated 
in  the  margin  only. 

In  endeavouring  to  carry  out  as  fully  as  possible  the 
spirit  of  Rules  1  and  2,  the  Revisers  have  borne  in  mind 
that  it  was  their  duty  not  to  make  a  new  translation,  but 
to  revise  one  already  existing,  which  for  more  than  two 
centuries  and  a  half  had  held  the  position  of  an  English 
classic.  They  have  therefore  departed  from  it  only  in 
cases  where  they  disagreed  with  the  Translators  of  1611 
as  to  the  meaning  or  construction  of  a  word  or  sentence ; 
or  where  it  was  necessary  for  the  sake  of  uniformity  to 
render  such  parallel  passages  as  were  identical  in  He- 
brew by  the  same  English  words,  so  that  an  English 
reader  might  know  at  once  by  comparison  that  a  differ- 
ence in  the  translation  corresponded  to  a  difference  in  the 
original;  or  where  the  language  of  the  Authorised  Ver- 
sion was  liable  to  be  misunderstood  by  reason  of  its  be- 
ing archaic  or  obscure ;  or  finally,  where  the  rendering  of 
an  earlier  English  version  seemed  preferable,  or  where 
by  an  apparently  slight  change  it  was  possible  to  bring 
out  more  fully  the  meaning  of  a  passage  of  which  the 
translation  was  already  substantially  accurate. 


'See,  for  instance,  2  Sam.  xvi.  12 ;   2  Chr.  iii.  1,  xxii.  6 ;    Job  zxxyii.  7 ; 

Ezek.  xlvi.  10;  Am.  v.  26;  Hag.  i.  2.

REVISKRS'    PREKACB. 


It  has  been  thought  advisable  in  regard  to  the  word 
*  Jehovah  '  to  follow  the  usage  of  the  Authorised  Version, 
and  not  to  insert  it  uniformly  in  place  of  '  Lord'  or  '  God', 
which  when  printed  in  small  capitals  represent  the  words 
substituted  by  Jewish  custom  for  the  ineffable  Name  ac- 
cording to  the  vowel  points  by  which  it  is  distinguished. 
It  will  be  found  therefore  that  in  this  respect  the 
Authorised  Version  has  been  departed  from  only  in  a  few 
passages,  in  which  the  introduction  of  a  proper  name 
seemed  to  be  required. 

Terms  of  natural  history  have  been  changed  only 
where  it  was  certain  that  the  Authorised  Version  was 
incorrect,  and  where  there  was  sufficient  evidence  for  the 
substituted  rendering.  In  cases  of  doubt  the  alternative 
rendering  has  been  given  in  the  margin ;  and  even  where 
no  doubt  existed,  but  where  there  was  no  familiar  En- 
glish equivalent  for  the  original  word,  the  Old  Version  has 
been  allowed  to  remain',  and  the  more  accurate  term  has 
been  placed  in  the  margin. 

In  some  words  of  very  frequent  occurrence,  the  Au- 
thorised Version  being  either  inadequate  or  inconsistent, 
and  sometimes  misleading,  changes  have  been  introduced 
with  as  much  uniformity  as  appeared  practicable  or  de- 
sirable. For  instance,  *  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation ' 
has  been  every  where  changed  to  '  the  tent  of  meeting',  on 
account  of  Exodus  xxv.  22,  xxix.  42,  43,  and  also  be- 
cause '  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation '  conveys  an  en- 
tirely wrong  sense.  The  words  '  tabernacle '  and  '  tent,' 
as  the  renderings  of  two  different  Hebrew  words,  are  in 
the  Authorized  Version  frequently  interchanged  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  lead  to  confusion ;  and  the  Revisers  have 
endeavoured  throughout  the  Pentateuch  to  preserve  a  con- 
sistent distinction  between  them.  Their  practice  in  re- 
gard to  the  words  '  assembly '  and  '  congregation '  has 
been  the  same  in  principle,  although  they  have  contented 
themselves  with  introducing  greater  consistency  of  ren- 
dering without  aiming  at  absolute  uniformity.  In  con- 
sequence of  the  changes  which  have  taken  place  in  the 
English  language,  the  term  'meat  offering'  has  become  in- 
appropriate to  describe  an  offering  of  which  flesh  was  no 
part;  and  by  the  alteration  to  'meal  offering'  a  suf- 
ficiently accurate  representation  of  the  original  has  been 
obtained  w'th  the  least  possible  change  of  form. 

As  regards  the  use  of  words,  there  are  only  a  few 
cases  in  which  it  has  been  found  needful  to  deviate  from 
the  language  employed  in  the  Authorised  Version.  One 
of  these  deviations  occurs  so  frequently  that  it  may  be 
well  to  state  briefly  why  it  was  adopted.  The  word  *  peo- 
ples '  was  nowhere  used  by  King  James's  Translators  in 
the  Old  Testament,  and  in  the  New  Testament  it  occurs 

'Ab  for  instance,  '  coney '  (Lev.  xi.  6),  '  fitches '  (Is.  xxviii.  25,  27), 
'gourd'  (Jon.  iv.  6.) 


only  twice  (Rev.  x.  11,  xvii.  15.)  The  effect  of  this  was 
to  leave  the  rendering  of  numerous  passages  inadequate 
or  obscure,  or  even  positively  misleading.  Thus  in  one  of 
the  best  known  Psalms  (Ps.  Ixvii.),  where  the  Septuagint 
has  Xaoi  and  the  Vulgate  populi,  the  English  had  '  Let  the 
people  praise  thee,  0  God ;  let  all  the  people  praise  thee '; 
leaving  it  at  least  doubtful  whether  the  'nations'  of  verse 
4,  or  God's  people,  Israel,  be  referred  to.  And  in  Isaiah 
Iv.  4,  '  Behold,  I  have  given  him  for  a  witness  to  the  peo- 
ple, a  leader  and  commander  to  the  people',  the  word 
'people'  is  naturally  understood  by  the  English  reader  to 
refer  to  Israel. 

Again,  the  Hebrew  word  goyim  'nations',  which  is 
applied  to  the  nations  of  Canaan  dispossessed  by  the 
Hebrews,  and  then  also  to  the  surrounding  nations  among 
whom  the  people  of  Israel  were  afterwards  dispersed, 
acquired  in  later  times  a  moral  significance,  which  is  rep- 
resented in  the  Authorised  Version  by  the  rendering 
'heathen'  or  'Gentiles'.  While  recognizing  this  moral 
sense  of  the  word,  the  Revisers  have  employed  it  much 
more  sparingly  than  their  predecessors  had  done. 

Similarly,  the  Hebrew  Sheol,  which  signifies  the  abode 
of  departed  spirits,  and  corresponds  to  the  Greek  Hades, 
or  the  under  world,  is  variously  rendered  in  the  Author- 
ised Version  by  'grave',  'pit'  and  'hell'.  Of  these  ren- 
derings '  hell ',  if  it  could  be  taken  in  its  original  sense  as 
used  in  the  Creeds,  would  be  a  fairly  adequate  equiva- 
lent for  the  Hebrew  word;  but  it  is  so  commonly  under- 
stood of  the  place  of  torment  that  to  employ  it  frequently 
would  lead  to  inevitable  misunderstanding.  The  Revis- 
ers therefore  in  the  historical  narratives  have  left  the  ren- 
dering '  the  grave '  or  '  the  pit '  in  the  text,  with  a  mar- 
ginal note  'Heb.  Sheol'  to  indicate  that  it  does  not  sig- 
nify 'the  place  of  burial';  while  in  the  poetical  writings 
they  have  put  most  commonly  'Sheol'  in  the  text  and 
'  the  grave '  in  the  margin.  In  Isaiah  xiv.  however,  where 
'heir  is  used  in  more  of  its  original  sense  and  is  less 
liable  to  be  misunderstood,  and  where  any  change  in  so 
familiar  a  passage  which  was  not  distinctly  an  improve- 
ment would  be  a  decided  loss,  the  Revisers  have  contented 
themselves  with  leaving  'hell'  in  the  text,  and  have 
connected  it  with  other  passages  by  putting  'Sheol'  in 
the  margin. 

In  connexion  with  this  it  may  be  mentioned  that 
'Abaddon',  which  has  hitherto  been  known  to  the  En- 
glish reader  of  the  Bible  only  from  the  New  Testament 
(Rev.  ix.  11),  has  been  introduced  in  three  passages  (Job 
xxvi.  6;  Prov.  xv.  11,  xxvii.  20),  where  a  proper  name 
appears  to  be  required  for  giving  vividness  and  point. 

The  Hebrew  word  Asherah,  which  is  uniformly  and 
wrongly  rendered  '  grove '  in  the  Authorised  Version, 
most  probably  denotes  the  wooden  symbol  of  a  goddess; 


REVISERS'   PREEACE.

and  the  Revisers  therefore  have  not  hesitated  to  intro- 
duce it  as  a  proper  name  in  the  singular  (Judg.  vi.  25,  &c.), 
with  the  plurals  Asherim  (Ex.  xxxiv.  13,  &c.)  and  Ashe- 
roth  (Judg.  iii.  7,  &c.),  following  the  analogy  of  the 
Baalim  (Judg.  iii.  7)  and  the  Ashtaroth  (Judg.  ii.  13), 
which  are  already  familiar. 

In  regard  to  the  language  of  the  Authorised  Version, 
the  Revisers  have  thought  it  no  part  of  their  duty  to  re- 
duce it  to  conformity  with  modern  usage,  and  have 
therefore  left  untouched  all  archaisms,  whether  of  lan- 
guage or  construction,  which  though  not  in  familiar 
use  cause  a  reader  no  embarrassment  and  lead  to  no 
misunderstanding.  They  are  aware  that  in  so  doing 
they  will  disappoint  the  large  English-speaking  race  on 
the  other  side  of  the  Atlantic,  and  it  is  a  question  upon 
which  they  are  prepared  to  agree  to  a  friendly  difference 
of  opinion.  The  principle  by  which  they  have  been 
guided  has  been  clear  and  consistent.  Where  an 
archaic  word  or  expression  was  liable  to  be  misunder- 
stood or  at  least  was  not  perfectly  intelligible,  they  have 
substituted  for  it  another,  in  equally  good  use  at  the 
time  the  Authorised  Version  was  made,  and  expressing 
all  that  the  archaism  was  intended  to  convey,  but  more 
familiar  to  the  modern  reader.  In  such  cases  the  gain 
was  greater  than  the  loss.  But  in  other  instances  where 
the  word  or  expression,  although  obsolete,  was  not 
unintelligible,  it  was  thought  that  the  change  would 
involve  greater  loss  than  gain,  and  the  old  rendering 
was  therefore  allowed  to  stand.  More  especially  was 
this  the  case  when  the  archaism  was  a  perfectly  correct 
rendering  of  the  original  and  there  was  no  exact  modern 
equivalent  for  it.  The  principle  adopted  by  the  Com- 
pany will  be  best  illustrated  by  two  typical  examples. 
The  verb  'to  ear'  in  the  sense  of  Ho  plough'  and  the 
substantive  'earing'  for  'ploughing'  were  very  reluc- 
tantly abandoned,  and  only  because  it  was  ascertained  that 
their  meaning  was  unknown  to  many  persons  of  good  in- 
telligence and  education.  But  it  was  easy  to  put  in  their 
place  equivalents  which  had  a  pedigree  of  almost  equal  an- 
tiquity, and  it  would  have  been  an  excess  of  conservatism 
to  refuse  to  substitute  for  an  unintelligible  archaism  an 
expression  to  which  no  ambiguity  could  be  attached.  On 
the  other  hand  the  word  'boiled'  (Ex.  ix.  31),  which  sig- 
nifies '  podded  for  seed '  and  is  known  in  provincial  dia- 
lects, has  no  synonym  in  literary  English.  To  have  dis- 
carded it  in  favour  of  a  less  accurate  or  more  paraphras- 
tic expression  would  have  been  to  impoverish  the  language ; 
and  it  was  therefore  left,  because  it  exactly  expresses  one 
view  which  is  taken  of  the  meaning  of  the  original. 

One  of  the  few  instances  in  which  the  language  of  the 
Authorised  Version  has  been  modified  in  accordance  with 
later  usage  is  the  change  of  the  neuter  possessive   pro- 


noun from  'his'  to  'its'.  It  is  well  known  that  'its'  does 
not  occur  in  the  Bible  of  1611,  and  it  does  not  appear  to 
have  been  introduced  into  any  edition  before  1660.  But 
it  is  found  ten  times  in  Shakespeare,  and  there  is  other 
evidence  to  shew  that  at  the  time  of  the  Authorised  Ver- 
sion it  was  coming  into  use.  It  was  found  necessary  in 
some  cases  to  substitute  '  its '  for  '  his '  in  order  to  avoid 
obscurity,  and  there  seemed  no  good  reason,  when  it  was 
once  introduced,  for  refusing  to  admit  it  generally  when  it 
referred  to  purely  inanimate  objects. 

In  making  minor  changes,  whether  in  translation  or 
language,  the  Revisers  have  followed  the  examplg  of  the 
translators  of  the  Authorised  Version,  who  allowed  them- 
selves in  this  respect  a  reasonable  freedom,  without  per- 
mitting their  liberty  to  degenerate  into  license. 

It  will  be  at  once  seen  that  the  old  division  of  the 
books  into  chapters  and  verses  has  been  abandoned  in 
favour  of  the  arrangement  in  paragraphs,  the  numbering 
of  the  chapters  and  verses  being  however  retained  for  con- 
venience of  reference.  Where  the  change  of  subject 
seemed  to  require  a  greater  break  than  was  marked  by  the 
beginning  of  a  new  paragraph,  it  has  been  indicated  by  a 
space  before  the  paragraph.  Occasionally  the  divisions  of 
the  chapters  in  the  Authorised  Version  differ  from  those 
in  the  common  Hebrew  Bibles.  In  such  cases  the  varia- 
tions are  given  in  the  margin.  In  the  Psalms,  the  titles 
are  printed  in  smaller  type,  as  in  some  modern  English 
Bibles,  which  differ  in  this  respect  from  the  edition  of 
1611.  One  consequence  of  the  arrangement  in  paragraphs 
has  been  Ihe  omission  of  the  headings  of  chapters,  which 
for  other  and  more  important  reasons  it  was  thought  ad- 
visable to  abandon,  as  involving  questions  which  belong 
rather  to  the  province  of  the  commentator  than  to  that 
of  the  translator.  With  the  headings  of  chapters  the 
head-lines  of  pages  naturally  disappeared  also,  and  for  the 
same  reason. 

In  the  poetical  portions,  besides  the  division  into  para- 
graphs, the  Revisers  have  adopted  an  arrangement  in 
lines,  so  as  to  exhibit  the  parallelism  which  is  character- 
istic of  Hebrew  Poetry.  But  they  have  not  extended 
this  arrangement  to  the  prophetical  books,  the  language 
of  which  although  frequently  marked  by  parallelism  is, 
except  in  purely  lyrical  passages,  rather  of  the  nature  of 
lofty  and  impassioned  prose. 

In  the  use  of  italics  the  Revisers  departed  from  the 
custom  of  the  Authorised  Version  and  adopted  as  their 
rule  the  following  resolution  of  their  Company  : 

'That  all  such  words  now  printed  in  italics,  as  are 
plainly  implied  in  the  Hebrew  and  necessary  in  English, 
be  printed  in  common  type.' 

But  where  any  doubt  existed  as  to  the  exact  render- 
ing of  the  Hebrew,  all  words  which  have  been  added  in

RKVISERS'   PREKACE. 


order  to  give  completeness  to  the  English  expression  are 
printed  in  italic  type,  so  that  the  reader  by  omitting  them 
may  be  able  to  see  how  far  their  insertion  is  justified  by 
the  words  of  the  original.  This  of  course  is  especially 
true  of  those  renderings  for  which  an  alternative  is  given 
in  the  margin,  where  the  roman  and  italic  type  play  ex- 
actly opposite  parts. 

To  complete  the  account  of  the  Revised  Version  it 
remains  only  to  describe  the  marginal  notes.  These  will 
be  found  to  contain 

(1)  The  renderings  of  such  variations  in  the  Massor- 
etic  Text  as  appeared  to  be  of  sufficient  importance. 
These  variations  are  known  by  the  technical  names  of 
K'ri  (read)  and  C'thib  (written),  which  denote  that  the 
K'ri,  or  reading  in  the  margin  of  the  Hebrew  Bible,  is 
to  be  substituted  for  the  C'thib  which  appears  in  the 
written  text.  The  Revisers  have  generally,  though  not 
uniformly,  rendered  the  C'thib  in  the  text,  and  left  the 
K'ri  in  the  margin,  with  the  introductory  note  '  Or,  ac- 
cording to  another  reading',  or  'Another  reading  is'. 
When  the  K'ri  has  been  followed  in  the  text,  the  C'thib 
has  been  placed  in  the  margin,  if  it  represented  a  variation 
of  sufficient  importance. 

(2)  Alternative  renderings,  introduced  by  '  Or'. 
These  are  either  different  meanings  of  the  word  or  pas- 
sage, or  they  serve  to  connect  it  with  other  renderings 
elsewhere. 

(3)  Literal  renderings  of  the  Hebrew  or  Aramaic,  in- 
dicated by  the  prefix  *  Heb.'  or  'Aram.' 

(4)  Changes  of  text  made  on  the  authority  of  the 
ancient  Versions. 

(5)  Readings  from  ancient  Versions  which  appeared 
to  be  of  sufficient  importance  to  be  noticed. 

(6)  Renderings  of  the  Hebrew  consonants  as  read 
with  different  vowel  points,  or  as  diflferently  divided. 
These  are  introduced  by  the  words  '  Or,  as  otherwise 
read.' 

(7)  Marginal  references  to  other  passages,  which  are 
either  strictly  parallel,  or  serve  the  purpose  of  illustrating 
or  justifying  a  particular  rendering. 

(8)  Explanations  of  certain  proper  names,  the  mean- 
ing of  which  is  referred  to  in  the  text. 

In  the  Proper  Names  the  Revisers  have  endeavoured 
to  ascertain  the  system  of  transliteration  adopted  by  the 
Translators  of  the  Authorised  Version  and  to  carry  it  out 
with  somewhat  greater  consistency.  They  have  not  how- 
ever attempted  anything  like  rigid  uniformity,  and  have 
left  unchanged  all  those  names  which  by  usage  have  be- 
come English  ;  as,  for  instance,  Moses,  Aaron,  Isaiah,  Jer- 
emiah, Ezekiel,  and  the  like. 

Among  the  Rules  laid  down  by  the  Revision  Com- 
mittee of  Convocation  for  the  guidance  of  the  Revisers 


was  one  that  no  change  should  be  finally  made  in  the 
text  of  the  Authorised  Version  except  by  the  vote  of 
two-thirds  of  the  Company  present  and  voting;  and  this 
Rule  has  been  invariably  acted  upon.  The  result  has 
been  that  in  many  cases  a  rendering  which  was  preferred 
by  the  majority  of  the  Company  voting  has  been  recorded 
in  the  margin,  the  majority  not  being  sufficient  to  give  it 
a  place  in  the  text.  But  all  questions  of  marginal  read- 
ings, as  well  as  of  punctuation  and  division  into  para- 
graphs, except  where  these  affected  the  sense  of  a  pas- 
sage, were  decided  by  a  simple  majority. 

It  may  be  of  some  interest  to  describe  the  method 
observed  by  the  Company  in  their  work,  if  only  to  shew 
that  every  question  raised  was  carefully  and  deliberately 
considered.  In  the  first  Revision  it  was  the  practice  for 
the  Secretary  to  read  over  each  verse,  first  in  the  original 
and  then  in  the  Authorised  Version :  the  proposals  for 
change  were  then  taken;  first  those  communicated  in 
writing  by  absent  members,  and  next  those  made  by  the 
members  present.  Each  proposal  was  moved,  and  if 
seconded  was  discussed  and  voted  upon;  the  decision  in 
the  first  Revision  being  by  a  majority  only.  If  a  pro- 
posal met  with  no  seconder,  it  was  not  discussed  but 
allowed  to  drop.  In  the  second  Revision,  the  Secretary 
read  out  in  order  the  changes  which  had  been  made  at 
the  first  Revision ;  if  these  were  unchallenged  they  were 
allowed  to  remain,  otherwise  they  were  put  to  the  vote 
and  affirmed  or  rejected  according  as  they  were  or  were 
not  supported  by  the  requisite  majority  of  two-thirds. 
In  the  second  Revision  new  propositions  could  only  be 
made  by  special  permission  of  the  Company,  and  discus- 
sion was  limited,  as  far  as  possible,  to  exceptional  cases. 
In  the  final  review,  which  was  in  reality  the  completion 
of  the  second  Revision,  the  Company  employed  them- 
selves in  making  a  general  survey  of  what  they  had  done, 
deciding  finally  upon  reserved  points,  harmonizing  incon- 
sistencies, smoothing  down  roughnesses,  removing  unnec- 
essary changes,  and  generally  giving  finish  and  complete- 
ness to  their  work.  Everything  in  this  final  survey  was 
decided  by  the  vote  of  a  majority  of  two-thirds. 

The  Revisers  had  already  made  some  progress,  and 
had  in  fact  gone  twice  through  the  Pentateuch,  before 
they  secured  the  co-operation  of  the  American  Old  Testa- 
ment Revision  Company.  The  first  Revision  of  ihe 
several  books  was  submitted  to  the  consideration  of  the 
American  Revisers,  and,  except  in  the  case  of  the  Penta- 
teuch, the  English  Company  had  the  benefit  of  their 
criticisms  and  suggestions  before  they  proceeded  to  the 
second  Revision.  The  second  Revision  was  in  like  man- 
ner forwarded  to  America,  and  the  latest  thoughts  of  the 
American  Revisers  were  in  the  hands  of  the  English 
Company  at  their  final  review.     In  every  instance  the 


REVISERS'    PREEACE. 


suggestions  from  America  were  treated  with  the  same 
consideration  as  those  proceeding  from  members  of  the 
English  Company,  and  were  adopted  or  rejected  on  their 
merits.  It  was  a  part  of  the  terms  of  agreement  with 
the  American  Company  that  all  points  of  ultimate  differ- 
ence between  them  and  the  English  Revisers  should  be 
placed  on  record,  and  they  will  accordingly  be  found  fully 
stated  at  the  end  of  the  Old  Testament,  or  at  the  end  of 
the  several  portions,  according  as  the  Revised  Version 
appears  in  one  or  more  volumes.  Many  of  them  will  be 
found  to  be  changes  of  language  which  are  involved  in 
the  essentially  different  circumstances  of  American  and 
English  readers ;  others  express  a  preference  for  the  mar- 
ginal rendering  over  that  given  in  the  text;  others  again 
involve  a  real  difference  of  opinion ;  but  all  shew  that 
they  have  been  dictated  by  the  same  leading  principle, 
the  sincere  desire  to  give  to  modern  readers  a  faithful 
representation  of  the  meaning  of  the  original  documents.

It  could  not  bat  be  expected  that  in  the  course  of 
fourteen  years  many  changes  would  take  place  in  the 
members  of  the  Company.  Of  the  original  number  who 
first  put  their  hands  to  the  work  on  the  30th  of  June 
1870,  only  fifteen  now  remain.  Ten  of  the  Company 
have  been  removed  by  death,  and  two  resigned :  the 
places  of  these  were  filled  from  time  to  time  by  others ; 
but  since  October  1875  no  new  members  have  been 
added.  The  Revision  was  completed  in  eighty-five  ses- 
sions, ending  on  20th  June,  1884 ;  and  it  occupied  792 
days.  The  greater  part  of  the  sessions  were  for  ten  days 
each,  and  each  day  the  Company  generally  sat  for  six 
hours.  The  labour  therefore  has  been  great,  but  it  has 
been  given  ungrudgingly ;  and  now  with  a  feeling  of  deep 
thankfulness  to  Almighty  God,  and  the  earnest  hope  that 
their  endeavours  may  with  His  blessing  tend  to  a  clearer 
knowledge  of  the  Old  Testament  Scriptures,  the  Revisers 
bring  their  long  task  to  a  close.

HISTORY 


1 


OF  THB 


English  Translations  of  the  Bible. 


The  earliest  attempt  to  render  the  Scriptures  into  the  lan- 
guage spoken  by  the  common  people  in  England,  was  during 
the  Anglo-Saxon  times,  whem  Aldhelm,  in  the  seventh  century, 
translated  the  Psalter.  Csedmon  had  already  embodied  the 
history  of  the  Bible  in  alliterative  meter,  but  his  work  can 
scarcely  be  denominated  a  translation.  The  venerable  Bede 
spent  his  last  moments  in  dictating  a  translation  of  John's 
Gospel  into  his  mother  tongue,  and  died  with  the  Doxology 
upon  his  lips  when  the  last  lines  had  been  written.  King 
Alfred  himself  reduced  to  the  same  language  portions  of  the 
divine  law  given  to  the  Hebrews,  as  the  basis  of  his  own  leg- 
islation ;  and  other  scholars  of  the  realm  in  the  years  following 
translated  additional  portions  both  of  the  Old  and  New  Testa- 
ments, so  that  the  whole  of  the  four  Gospels  was  current  in  the 
Anglo-Saxon.  After  the  Norman  Conquest,  a  prose  translation 
of  the  Bible  into  Norman  French,  made  about  A.  D.  1260,  in- 
dicates a  demand  for  devotional  reading  within  the  circle  of  the 
court,  or  of  the  wealthier  merchants,  or  of  convents  for  women 
of  high  rank.  Further  signs  of  the  same  desire  are  found  in 
three  English  versions  of  the  Psalms — one  toward  the  close  of 
the  thirteenth  century,  another  by  Schorham  about  A.  D.  1320, 
and  another,  with  other  canticles  from  the  Old  and  New  Tes- 
taments, by  Richard  Rolle,  of  Hampole,  in  Yorkshire,  about 
1349.  There  was  also  a  version  of  the  Gospels  of  Mark  and 
Luke,  and  of  all  Paul's  Epistles. 

The  first  translation  into  what  may  properly  be  called 
English — the  real  beginning  of  the  language  as  we  now  speak 
it — was  made  by  John  de  Wycliffe.  He  was  born  A.  D.  1324, 
at  Wycliffe,  in  Yorkshire,  and  was  educated  at  Oxford.  He 
became  successively  master  of  Baliol  College,  warden  of  Can- 
terbury College,  and  professor  of  divinity  in  Oxford  Univer- 
sity. His  piety  and  wisdom,  as  well  as  his  great  parts  and 
extensive  learning,  gained  for  him  general  reputation;  while  his 
opposition  to  the  corruptions  of  the  Church  of  Rome  drew  down 
on  him  the  vengeance  of  the  prelates  and  clergy,  and  involved 
him  in  a  series  of  troubles,  which,  in  all  probability,  would 
have  resulted  in  his  death,  had  he  not  been  protected  by  John 
of  Gaunt,  the  duke  of  Lancaster,  uncle  of  Richard  II.  The 
dates  of  commencing  and  of  concluding  the  work  which  has 
made  his  name  so  famous  in  history,  can  not  be  determined 
with  certainty.  He  accomplished  his  task  by  degrees.  He 
began  with  a  translation  of  the  Apocalypse ;  next  appeared  the 
Gospels  in  English,  with  a  commentary ;  then  followed  the 
other  books  of  the  New  Testament,  which  it  is  believed  were 
finished  about  1380.  A  version  of  the  Old  Testament,  as  well 
as  of  the  New,  appeared  not  long  afterward,  upon  which  he 
appears  to  have  employed  himself,  and  which  is  supposed  to  have 
been  completed  before  1384.  It  was  on  December  28th  of  this 
year  that  Wycliffe  peacefully  died  at  the  Lutterworth' Rectory. 
Forty -one  years  after  his  death,  his  bones  were  dug  up  and 


reduced  to  ashes  by  order  of  Richard  Fleming,  bishop  of 
London,  according  to  a  decree  of  the  infamous  Council  of 
Constance,  and  scattered  in  the  River  Avon. 

These  efforts  to  circulate  the  Word  of  God  in  the  vernac- 
ular language  of  the  people  were  jealously  discountenanced  by 
the  papal  Church.  At  the  Council  of  Toulouse  in  1229,  for 
the  first  time  since  the  name  of  Christ  was  known,  the  laity 
were  openly  forbidden  to  read  the  Holy  Scriptures  of  the  Old 
and  New  Testament,  even  in  Latin — except  that,  for  the  pur- 
poses of  devotion,  they  were  permitted  to  have  in  that  language 
the  Psalter  or  Breviary  or  "  Hours  of  the  Blessed  Virgin ;" 
but  they  were  strictly  forbidden  to  have  any  of  these  books 
translated  into  their  own  tongue.  Nevertheless,  these  prohibi- 
tions did  not  entirely  prevent  the  circulation  of  the  Scriptures, 
and  translations  of  the  whole  or  of  parts  were  made  in  several 
countries  of  Europe. 

The  fruit  of  Wycliffe's  labors  did  not  immediately  appear, 
but  his  influence  was  not  confined  alone  to  England.  It 
extended  to  the  Continent,  particularly  to  Bohemia,  and  pre- 
pared the  way  for  the  great  reformation  in  Europe  a  century 
and  a  half  later.  Copies  of  his  Bible  were  multiplied  as  rapidly 
as  the  pens  of  transcribers  could  do  the  work,  and  were 
eagerly  sought  by  all  classes  of  people.  A  revised  translation 
was  completed  about  the  year  1388,  by  John  Purvey,  assisted 
by  others;  but  both  Wycliffe's  and  Purvey's  were  made  from 
the  Latin  Vulgate.  Wycliffe's  Bible  was  not  printed  until 
1850.  Purvey's  was  printed  for  the  first  time  in  1731,  and  for 
a  long  time  was  supposed  to  be  Wycliffe's.  As  such  it  was 
printed  in  Bagster's  Hexapla,  in  1841. 

The  next  English  version  was  that  of  William  Tyndale,  a 
native  of  Wales,  about  the  year  1530.  Two  circumstances  in 
his  age  were  favorable  to  its  enlarged  circulation — the  invention 
of  paper  and  of  the  art  of  printing.  Erasmus's  edition  of  the 
Greek  Testament  was  then  just  published,  and  the  Hebrew 
Scriptures  were  about  the  same  time  printed  in  Italy — ^and 
both  were  easy  to  be  obtained.  Tyndale  was  a  thorough 
scholar,  and;  instead  of  making  his  version  at  second-hand  from 
the  Latin,  he  took  it  directly  from  the  original  tongues.  His 
English  style  is  idiomatic  and  racy.  Many  of  his  renderings, 
through  long  passages,  are  repeated  almost  word  for  word  in 
our  present  authorized  version.  He  is  really  the  father  of  our 
English  Bible.  His  successors  effected  many  improvements  in 
detail,  but  the  plan  and  spirit  of  the  w^ork  have  been  left  un- 
changed. "  The  peculiar  genius,"  says  Fronde,  "  if  such  a 
word  may  be  permitted,  which  breathes  through  it;  the  min- 
gled tenderness  and  majesty;  the  Saxon  simplicity;  the  pre- 
ternatural grandeur,  unequaled,  unapproached  in  the  attempts 
of  modern  scholars — all  are  here,  and  bear  the  impress  of  one 
man,  William  Tyndale."  To  that  one  man,  more  than  to  any 
other,  the  English  language  owes  its  present  form  and  the  per^

manenoe  of  Its  vocabulary.  He  fixed  the  speechi  of  the  common 
people  for  all  time  to  come ;  and  its  rhythmic  cadence,  its  poetic 
and  picturesque  beauty,  its  strong  and  nervous  expressions,  its 
homely  and  simple  phrases,  all  appear  in  his  work.  Tyndale's 
printed  version  contained  the  New  Testament,  the  Pentateuch, 
and  the  prophecy  of  Jonah,  with  a  few  lessons  from  the  Proph- 
ecies] but  there  is  good  reason  to  believe  that  he  left  behind 
him  in  manuscript  a  translation  of  the  books  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment from  Joshua  to  2  Chronicles,  inclusive.  Tyndale's  Tes- 
tament was  printed  in  1525,  at  Cologne,  in  quarto,  and  at 
Worms  in  octavo.  Of  each  of  these  editions  three  thousand 
copies  were  printed.  In  1534  a  revised  edition  was  issued  at 
Antwerp,  with  an  addition  of  lessons  from  the  Old  Testament. 

Tyndale  was  in  the  midst  of  his  labors  when  he  was  arrested 
for  heretical  pravity  at  Antwerp,  by  emissaries  of  the  papal 
Church,  and  committed  to  the  castle  of  Vilvorde,  near  Brussels. 
Notwithstanding  all  the  efforts  of  his  friends  in  England  and 
in  the  Low  Countries  to  procure  for  him  protection,  he  was 
condemned  to  death.  Rome  could  not  forgive  his  vigorous 
assaults  upon  her  priestly  prerogative  and  hierarchical  author- 
ity. On  Friday,  October  6,  1536,  he  was  strangled  at  the  stake 
and  his  body  burnt  to  ashes. 

In  1635  the  first  translation  of  the  whole  Bible  ever  printed 
in  English  was  completed  abroad  under  the  direction  of  Myles 
Coverdale,  and  is,  therefore,  generally  called  Coverdale's  Bible. 
The  place  of  its  printing  was  for  many  years  unknown ;  but 
it  is  believed  that  the  work  was  executed  at  Zurich,  or  at  Ant- 
werp, by  Jacob  Van  Meteren,  who  seems  afterward  to  have 
sold  the  sheets,  type,  etc.,  to  James  Nicolson,  of  Southwark, 
England,  by  whom  a  second  and  a  third  edition  were  published. 
Coverdale,  born  in  1488,  was  an  Augustine  monk ;  but  embrac- 
ing the  doctrines  of  the  Reformation,  he  entered  into  orders, 
and  in  1551  was  consecrated  bishop  of  Exeter.  During  the 
persecutions  of  Queen  Mary's  time,  he  was  ejected  from  his  see, 
and  retired  to  the  Continent,  but  returned  to  England  in  1568, 
and  died  in  1569.  Coverdale  availed  himself  of  the  labors  of 
others,  and  made  his  translations,  not  from  the  original  Hebrew 
and  Greek,  but  from  the  Latin  Vulgate,  the  German  of  Luther, 
Pagninus's  Latin  version,  Leo  Juda's  Helvetic  version  (in 
Swiss-German),  and  from  one  or  two  others.  Tyndale's  text 
is  closely  followed  in  the  New  Testament,  but  is  corrected 
and  revised  with  the  help  of  the  other  interpreters. 

In  1537  the  translations  of  Tyndale,  with  those  of  John 
Rogers,  who  completed  and  edited  the  whole,  were  published 
in  a  collected  form  under  the  name  of  Thomas  Matthew. 
This  edition  is  known  as  Matthew's  Bible.  Much  credit  is  due 
to  Rogers,  who  probably  resided  at  the  place  of  printing  (sup- 
posed to  be  Liibeck),  as  the  careful  editor  of  this  Bible ;  he 
was  evidently  a  fine  scholar,  and  he  seems  to  have  acted  both 
as  desiring  to  give  his  countrymen  a  translation  as  correct  as 
possible,  and  likewise  to  perpetuate  the  labors  of  Tyndale,  his 
friend  and  instructor  in  the  truth  of  the  Gospel.  In  the  exe- 
cution of  the  work,  Rogers  had  the  whole  of  Tyndale's  trans- 
lations, whether  in  print  or  manuscript,  before  him.  The  Old 
Testament  is  a  reprint  of  Tyndale's  Pentateuch ;  the  remainder, 
as  far  as  the  second  book  of  Chronicles,  was  copied  from  Tyn- 
dale's manuscripts,  which  were  undoubtedly  in  Rogers's  safe- 
keeping.    Coverdale's  translation  was  also  followed  in  the  other 


portions  of  Scripture.  This  edition,  printed  in  black  letter,  or 
Old  English,  is  frequently  and  not  inaptly  called  Tyndale's 
Bible.  It  appeared  with  the  then  much  coveted  words,  "  Set 
forth  with  the  king's  most  gracious  license;"  hence,  it  is  the 
first  properly  authorized  edition  of  the  English  Bible.  This 
became  the  foundation  of  the  text  of  the  version  now  in  com- 
mon use.  Rogers  was  a  native  of  Lancashire,  and  was  born 
about  the  year  1500.  He  was  educated  at  Pembroke  Hall, 
Cambridge,  and  was  graduated  in  1525.  Entering  into  holy 
orders,  he  became  rector,  in  1532,  of  a  Church  in  London,  In 
1534  he  left  England,  and  went  to  Antwerp  as  chaplain  of  the 
"Merchant  Adventurers,"  where  he  became  acquainted  with 
Tyndale.  Here  he  embraced  the  reformed  doctrine,  and  soon 
afterward  broke  ofiT  completely  from  Rome,  and  married.  Dur- 
ing the  persecutions  under  Mary,  he  was  tried  and  condemned 
for  heresy,  and  was  the  first  martyr  who  suffered  death  at  the 
stake.  He  was  burned  alive  at  Smithfield,  February  4,  1555. 
It  is  supposed  that  Thomas  Matthew  was  only  a  name  which 
Rogers  assumed  from  prudential  motives,  lest  his  known  con- 
nection with  Tyndale  should  prove  injurious  to  the  under- 
taking. In  favor  of  this  view,  which  has  been  generally  ac- 
cepted, is  the  fact  that  in  the  official  record  of  the  apprehension 
of  Rogers,  he  is  described  as  "  John  Rogers,  alias  Matthew." 
It  is  possible,  however,  that  the  name  is  a  real  one,  and  be- 
longs to  some  patron  through  whose  aid  the  work  was  under- 
taken. 

So  great  was  the  desire  of  the  people  to  read  or  hear  the 
Word  of  God,  and  so  few  copies  could  be  procured,  that  in 
1539  another  revision  of  the  English  Bible  was  made  by 
Richard  Taverner,  a  counselor-at-law  and  a  member  of  the  In- 
ner Temple.  He  was  one  of  the  young  men  imprisoned  in  the 
cellar  of  one  of  the  college  buildings  in  Oxford  for  reading 
Tyndale's  New  Testament.  Taverner  was  a  scholar,  able  and 
energetic,  but  somewhat  capricious  and  uncertain.  In  1552, 
though  a  layman,  he  received  from  Edward  VI.  a  general 
license  to  preach.  We  are  told  that  he  preached  before  the 
king  at  court,  and  in  some  other  places  in  the  kingdom,  wear- 
ing a  velvet  bonnet  or  round  cap,  a  damask  gown,  and  a  chain 
of  gold  about  his  neck ;  in  which  habit  he  was  seen  and  heard 
preaching  several  times  in  St.  Mary's  Church,  Oxford,  in  the 
beginning  of  the  reign  of  Elizabeth.  During  Mary's  reign 
Taverner  prudently  remained  in  retirement.  Elizabeth  showed 
him  marks  of  special  favor,  and  made  him  high  sheritf  of  the 
county  of  Oxford.  He  died  in  the  year  1575.  His  Bible, 
known  as  Taverner's  Bible,  was  allowed  to  be  publicly  read  la 
the  churches,  and  is  only  a  revision  of  Matthew's  Old  Testa- 
ment and  Tyndale's  New  Testament.  His  changes  are  more 
numerous  in  the  latter  than  in  the  former.  Thus,  in  Matthew, 
chapters  xxi,xxii,  containing  ninety-two  verses,  there  are  about 
forty  variations,  of  which  one-third  are  retained  in  the  version 
now  in  use.  In  some  of  these  changes  his  object  was  to  remove 
superfiuous  words ;  in  others,  to  give  a  more  terse  or  expressive 
phrase,  or  a  more  literal  rendering  from  the  Greek.  Taver- 
ner's Bible  was  published  both  in  folio  and  quarto ;  his  New 
Testament  in  quarto  and  in  octavo  in  the  same  year. 

The  Great  Bible,  so  called  from  its  size,  being  larger  than 
any  of  the  editions  in  folio  previously  published,  was  prepared 
by   direction   of  Thomas   Cromwell,  chief  minister  of  state

under  Henry  VIII.  It  was  a  revision  of  Matthew's  Bible,  and 
was  executed  under  the  supervision  of  Coverdale,  as  corrector 
of  the  press.  It  was  first  issued  in  April,  1539,  by  Richard 
Grafton  and  Edward  Whitchurch,  printers.  Cromwell,  though 
not  noted  for  piety,  was  a  friend  of  the  Reformation,  and  had  a 
deep  veneration  for  the  Scriptures.  Worldly,  ambitious,  and 
unscrupulous,  he  opposed  the  aggressions  of  the  papal  Church, 
and  broke  up  the  monasteries,  which  had  become  nests  of  cor- 
ruption. He  was  rapidly  advanced  by  the  king,  who  created 
him  Earl  of  Essex  ;  but,  being  convicted  of  treason,  he  was  put 
to  death  soon  after  attaining  that  honor.  A  second  edition  of 
this  Bible  was  published  in  1540,  with  a  preface  written  by 
Archbishop  Cranmer,  and  has  been  named  Cranmer's  Bible. 
This  edition,  of  which  only  five  hundred  copies  were  printed, 
differed  but  slightly  from  the  first,  and  the  two  are  sometimes 
confounded.  It  continued  to  be  the  authorized  English  ver- 
sion (except,  of  course,  during  the  reign  of  Mary)  until  1568, 
when  it  was  superseded  by  the  Bishops'  Bible. 

The  Geneva  Bible,  issued  in  1560,  is  so  called  from  the  fact 
that  it  was  translated  and  printed  in  Geneva  by  certain  learned 
Englishmen  who  fled  thither  about  the  year  1556  to  escape  the 
persecutions  of  Queen  Mary's  reign.  The  exiles  in  Geneva,  to 
whom  this  work  is  attributed,  were  William  Whittingham, 
Anthony  Gilby,  Myles  Coverdale,  Thomas  Sampson,  Christo- 
pher Goodman,  Thomas  Cole,  John  Knox,  John  Bodleigh,  and 
John  Pullain.  The  principal  part  of  the  work  was  executed  by 
Whittingham,  Gilby,  and  Sampson.  This  version  became  very 
popular,  and  probably  one  hundred  and  thirty  editions  were 
issued.  It  was  the  first  English  Bible  divided  into  verses. 
The  example  for  doing  this  was  set  in  the  New  Testament 
printed  at  the  same  city  three  years  previously.  This  transla- 
tion differed  from  all  that  had  preceded  it,  not  only  in  its  plan, 
but  also  in  its  execution.  The  other  versions  had  been  gen- 
erally the  work  or  revision  of  an  individual,  or,  at  most,  a  re- 
vision in  which  certain  individuals  executed  certain  particular 
parts.  In  this  translation  many  acted  unitedly  in  the  forma- 
tion of  a  version,  and  in  the  plan  of  operation  there  was  a 
principle  of  completeness  which  had  not  heretofore  been  acted 
on.  Still,  the  basis  of  the  translation  was  Tyndale's ;  but,  with 
the  scholarly  labor  bestowed  upon  it,  the  Geneva  Bible  was 
more  accurate  than  any  of  its  predecessors,  and  long  held  its 
popularity  in  England,  even  after  the  present  authorized  ver- 
sion was  in  use.  It  discarded  the  old  black-letter  type,  and 
was  printed  from  Roman  type,  which  was  soon  adopted  in  all 
the  printing-offices  which  published  English  books. 

The  next  version  was  superintended  by  Matthew  Parker, 
archbishop  of  Canterbury,  and  is  sometimes  called  by  his  name. 
It  was  first  published  in  1568,  and  was  executed  with  great  care 
by  more  than  fifteen  men,  whose  names  occur  at  the  end  of  the 
portions  prepared  by  them.  From  the  fact  that  the  majority 
of  those  engaged  in  its  preparation  were  bishops,  it  has  been 
named  the  Bishops'  Bible.  It  continued  to  be  the  version 
authorized  to  be  read  in  the  churches  for  forty-three  years;  but 
in  private  use  it  never  displaced  the  Geneva  version.  Its 
preparation  seems  to  have  extended  over  a  period  of  three  or 
four  years.  The  basis  of  the  translation  was  the  Great  Bible, 
but  many  of  the  corrections  and  improvements  were  taken 
from  the  Geneva  version. 


We  have  already  noticed  the  opposition  on  the  part  of  the 
papal  Church  to  the  general  diffusion  of  the  Word  of  God. 
But  Rome  had  thundered  in  vain.  What  did  she  do?  In 
1582  she  printed,  or  allowed  to  be  printed,  at  Rheims,  an 
English  New  Testament,  "translated  out  of  Latin,  with  notes 
and  necessary  helps."  In  1609  the  Old  Testament  also  made 
its  appearance,  at  Douay.  The  Rhemish  New  Testament,  as  the 
version  printed  at  Rheims  is  called,  was  prepared  at  the 
English  Roman  Catholic  College,  then  established  at  that  place, 
and  afterwards  at  Douay,  by  Gregory  Martin,  a  distinguished 
Hebrew  and  Greek  scholar.  His  translation  was  made  from 
the  Vulgate,  and  in  his  work  he  was  assisted  by  Dr.  William 
Allen,  the  founder  of  the  college.  Dr.  Reynolds,  Dr.  Bristow, 
and  Dr.  Worthington.  The  last  two  are  supposed  to  be  the 
authors  of  the  "  Notes,"  which  are  bitterly  controversial.  The 
translation  is  literal,  and,  as  a  rule,  scrupulously  faithful  and 
exact,  but  disfigured  by  a  profusion  of  unfamiliar  and  Latin- 
ized words,  which  convey  no  meaning  whatever  to  the  ordinary 
English  reader.  This  last  peculiarity  strikes  the  eye  at  the 
first  opening  of  the  volume.  But  from  this  version,  unfamiliar 
as  many  of  its  words  are,  our  translators  obtained  some  of 
their  happiest  expressions.  Nothing  is  easier  than  to  accu- 
mulate instances  of  the  eccentricity  of  its  renderings,  or  of  their 
obscure  and  inflated  style ;  but  a  minute  study  of  its  pages  will 
afford  evidence  of  the  care  with  which  the  translators  have  ex- 
ecuted their  work.  "Every  other  English  translation,"  says 
Dr.  Moulton,  in  his  History  of  the  English  Bible,  "  is  to  be 
preferred  to  this,  if  it  is  to  be  taken  as  a  whole;  but  no  other 
English  version  will  prove  more  instructive  to  the  student  who 
will  take  the  pains  to  separate  what  is  good  and  useful  from 
what  is  ill-advised  and  wrong." 

W^hen  King  James  I.  came  to  the  throne  of  England  he 
took  measures  to  secure  a  uniform  translation  of  the  Scrip- 
tures, and  appointed  fifty-four  of  the  most  learned  men  of  his 
kingdom  to  proceed  with  the  work.  The  result  of  their  labors 
was  published  in  1611;  and  being  commanded  by  authority  to 
be  used  in  the  churches,  it  soon  became  the  standard  transla- 
tion for  English-speaking  people.  This  is  the  translation  now 
called  "  the  Authorized  Version."  But  in  process  of  time  numerous 
errors  were  discovered  in  it,  and  new  manuscripts  of  the  original 
came  to  light.  It  was  long  thought  by  scholars  that  a  new 
version  should  be  made;  and,  accordingly,  the  subject  of  re- 
vision was  brought  by  Professor  Selwyn  before  the  lower 
House  of  Convocation  of  the  province  of  Canterbury  in  1856, 
but  his  proposals  then  met  with  little  favor. 

No  action  was  taken  until  1870,  when  the  matter  was  in- 
trusted to  a  committee,  consisting  of  eight  members  of  the 
upper  house  and  sixteen  of  the  lower.  They  reported  favor- 
ably ;  and  the  convocation  then  nominated  a  committee  of  eight 
members  of  each  house  to  undertake  the  work  of  revision. 
They  associated  with  them  a  number  of  the  best  scholars  in 
Great  Britain  and  America,  and  divided  themselves  into  two 
companies  for  the  revision  oi  the  Old  Testament  and  New 
Testament  respectively.  The  New  Testament  Company  first 
concluded  its  labors,  and  published  the  revision  in  1881.  The 
Old  Testament  revision  was  not  completed  until  1884.  The 
Authorized  and  Revised  VersioTns  appear  together  in  parallel 
columns  on  the  following  pages.

ABOKATION. 

Forasmuch  as  there  Is  none  like  unto  thee,  O  Lord;  thou  art 
great,  and  thy  name  Is  great  In  might;  who  would  not  tear 
thee,  (J  King  of  nations?  _  ,    .      v.    ,, 

All  thy  works  shall  praise  thee,  O  Lord,  and  thy  saints  shall 
bless  thee.  They  shall  speak  of  the  glory  of  thy  kingdom,  and 
talk  of  thy  power.  ,,  ^     ,^ 

Oh  thou  that  hearest  prayer,  unto  thee  shall  all  flesh  come. 

CONFESSION. 

We  have  sinned,  and  have  committed  Iniquity,  and  have  done 
wickedly,  aud  hjive  rebelled,  even  by  departing  from  thy  pre- 
cepts and  irom  thy  Judgments. 

If  we  say  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  ourselves,  and  the  truth  is 
not  In  us. 

We  are  all  as  an  unclean  thing. 

SUPPLICATION. 

God  be  merciful  unto  us,  and  bless  us ;  and  cause  his  face  to 
shine  upon  us.  ... 

Wilt  thou  not  revive  us  again,  that  thy  people  may  rejoice  m 
thee?  ,     ,. 

Show  us  thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  and  grant  us  thy  salvation. 

INTERCESSION. 

Let  the  people  praise  thee,  O  God ;  let  all  the  people  praise  thee. 
Oh  let  the  wickedness  of  the  wicked  come  to  an  end  ;  but  estab- 
lish the  Just. 

THANKSaiVINQ. 

Oh  that  men  would  praise  the  Lord  for  his  goodness,  for  his

For  thy  mercy  Is  greatabove  the  heavens,  and  thy  truth  reached 
unto  the  clouds. 

Blessed  be  the  name  of  the  Lord  from  this  time  forth,  and  for 
evermore. 

From  the  rising  of  the  sun  unto  the  going  down  of  the  same,  the 
Lord's  name  is  to  be  praised. 

Who  is  like  unto  the  Lord  our  God,  who  dwclleth  on  high,  who 
humbleth  himself  to-behold  the  things  that  are  in  heaven  and 
In  the  earth? 

Thanks  be  unto  God  for  his  unspeakable  gift. 

In  whom  we  have  redemption  through  his  blood,  the  forgive- 
ness of  sins  according  to  the  richness  of  his  grace. 

Blessed  be  the  God  aud  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  which 
according  to  his  abundant  mercy  hath  begotten  us  again  uuto 
a  lively  hope  by  the  resurrection  of  .'lesus  Christ  from  the  dead, 
to  an  Inherltauce  Incorruptible  and  uudellied,  and  that  fadeth 
not  away. 

Blessed  bp  the  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who 
hath  blessed  us  with  all  spiritual  blessings  In  Christ. 

DEDICATION. 

O  Lord  our  God,  other  lords  besides  thee  have  had  dominion 
over  us ;  but  by  thee  only  will  we  make  mention  of  thy  name. 
We  are  thine. 

DOXOLOGY. 

Now  unto  God  and  our  Father  be  glory  for  ever  and  ever.    Amen 
Salvation  to  our  God  which  sltteth  on  the  throne,  aud  unto  the 

Lamb. 
Blessing,  and  gloi*y,  and  wisdom,  and  thanksgiving,  and  honor, 

and  power,  and  might,  be  unto  our  God  for  ever  and  ever.

ADORATION. 

I  will  love  thee,  O  Lord,  my  strength. 

The  Lord  Is  my  rock,  and  my  fortress,  and  my  deliverer;  my 

God,  my  strength,  In  whom  I  will  trust ;  my  buckler,  and  the 

horn  of  my  salvation,  and  my  high  tower. 
Truly  my  soul  walteth  upon  God ;  from  him  cometh  my  salva- 

He  only  Is  my  rock  and  my  salvation  ;  he  Is  my  defence;  I  shall 
not  be  greatly  moved. 

CONFESSION. 

I  acknowledge  my  transgression,  and  my  sin  Is  ever  before  me. 
For  1  know  that  In  me,  that  Is  In  my  tlesh,  dwelleth  no  good 

thing ;  for  to  will  Is  present  with  me ;  but  how  to  perform  that 

which  is  good  I  find  not. 
O  wretched  man  that  I  am,  who  shall  deliver  me  from  the  body 

of  this  death? 
Behold,  1  am  vile;  what  shall  I  answer  thee?    1  will  lay  my 

hand  upon  my  mouth. 

SUPPLICATION. 

God  be  merclfu!  to  me  a  sinner. 

Create  In  me  a  clean  heart,  O  God,  and  renew  a  right  spirit 

within  me. 
Have  mercy  upon  me,  O  God,  according  to  thy  loving  kindness ; 

according  uuto  the  multitude  of  thy  tender  mercies,  blot  out 

my  transgressions. 
For  thy  name  s  sake,  O  Lord,  pardon  mine  Iniquity,  for  it  is 

great ! 
Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins,  and  blot  out  all  mine  Iniquities. 
Remember  not  the  sins  of  my  youth,  nor  my  transgressions  ; 

according  to  th.y  mercy  remember  thou  me  for  thy  goodness' 

sake,  O  Lord. 
Cast  me  not  away  from  thy  presence,  and  take  not  thy  holy 

spirit  from  me. 
Restore  unto  me  the  Joy  of  thy  salvation,  and  uphold  me  with 

thy  free  spirit. 

0  Lord,  open  thou  my  lips,  aud  my  mouth  shall  show  forth  tby 
praise. 

Hold  up  my  goings  In  thy  paths,  that  my  footsteps  slip  not. 

Hear  my  voice  according  unto  thy  loving  kindness;  O  Lord, 
quicken  me  according  to  thy  Judgment. 

Let  my  soul  live,  and  It  shall  praise  thee;  and  let  thy  Judg- 
ments help  me. 

1  have  gone  astray  like  a  lost  sheep ;  seek  thy  servant ;  for  I  do 
not  forget  thy  commandments. 

Search  me,  O  God.  and  know  my  heart;  try  me,  and  know  my 

thoughts; 
And  see  If  there  be  any  wicked  way  In  me,  and  lead  me  In  the 

way  everlasting. 
Show  me  thy  ways,  O  Lord,  teach  me  thy  paths. 
Lead  me  In  thy  truth,  and  leach  me;  for  thou  art  the  God  of  my 

salvation ;  on  thee  do  1  wait  all  the  day. 
Open  thou  mine  eyes,  that  I  may  behold  wondrous  things  out 

of  thy  law. 
Oh  that  thou  wouldst  bless  me  Indeed,  and  enlarge  my  coast, 

and  that  thine  hand  might  be  with  me,  aud  that  thou  wouldst 

keep  me  from  evil,  that  it  may  not  grieve  me  ! 


Gen.  xxxll.26.  1  will  not  lei  thee  go,  except  thou  bless  me. 

Prov.  XXX.8.  I  Remove  far  from  me  vanity  aud  lies;  give  me  neither  poverty 

i    nor  riches  ;  feed  me  with  food  couveuient  for  me. 
Prov.  XXX.  9.    Lest  I  be  full,  and  deny  thee,  aud  say,  Who  is  the  Lord  ?  or  lest 

I  be  poor,  aud  steal,  and  take  the  name  of  my  God  in  vain. 
Job  xvl.  22.       When  a  few  years  are  come,  then  I  shall  go  the  way  whence  1 

shall  not  return. 
Psa.  xxxlx.4.  Lord,  make  me  to  know  mine  end,  and  the  measure  of  my  days, 

what  it  is,  that  I  may  know  bow  frail  1  am. 

INTERCESSION. 

Grace  be  with  all  them  that  love  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  In  sin- 
cerity. 

Do  good,  O  Lord,  unto  those  that  be  good,  and  to  them  that  are 
upright  In  their  hearts. 

Oh  that  thou  wouldst  rend  the  heavens,  that  thou  wouldst  come 
down,  that  the  mountains  might  flow  down  at  thy  presence. 

Oh  send  out  thy  light  and  thy  truth. 

Be  thou  exalted,  O  God,  above  the  heavens  ;  let  thy  glory  be 
above  al  I  the  earth. 

Blessed  be  the  Lord  God,  the  God  of  Israel,  who  only  doeth 
wondrous  things. 

And  blessed  be  bis  glorious  name  for  ever;  and  let  the  whole 
earth  be  filled  with  his  glory.    Amen  and  Amen. 

THANKSGIVING. 

I  waited  patiently  for  the  Lord ;  and  he  Inclined  unto  me,  and 
heard  my  cry. 

Many,  O  Lord  my  God,  are  thy  wonderful  works  which  thou 
hast  done,  and  thy  thoughts  which  are  to  us-ward  :  tlie.y  can- 
not be  reckoned  up  In  order  unto  thee ;  If  I  would  declare  and 
speak  of  them,  they  are  more  than  can  be  numbered. 

How  precious  also  are  thy  thoughts  unto  me,  O  God  !  how  great 
Is  the  sum  of  them  1 

If  I  should  count  them,  they  are  more  In  number  than  the  sand 
when  I  awake,  1  am  still  with  thee. 

Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul,  and  all  that  Is  within  me,  bless  his 
holy  name. 

Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul,  and  forget  not  all  his  benefits. 

Who  forgiveth  all  thine  Iniquities,  who  healeth  all  thy  diseases. 

Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from  destruction  :  who  crowneth  thee 
with  lovlng-klndness  and  tender  mercies. 

What  shall  1  render  unto  the  Lord  for  all  his  benefits  toward  me? 

I  will  take  the  cup  of  salvation  and  call  upon  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

All  thy  works  shall  praise  thee,  O  Lord,  and  thy  saints  shall 

For  the  Lord  taketh  pleasure  In  his  people,  he  will  beautify  the 
meek  with  salvation. 

DEDICATION. 

0  Lord,  truly  I  am  thy  servant ;  1  am  thy  servant,  and  the  son 
of  thine  handmaid :  thou  hast  loosed  my  bonds. 

1  will  walk  before  the  Lord  In  the  laud  of  the  living. 

DOXOLOGY. 

Now  unto  thy  King  eternal,  Immortal,  Invisible,  the  only  wise 

God,  be  honor  and  glory  for  ever  and  ever.    Amen. 
To  God,  only  wise,  be  glory,  through  Jesus  Christ,  for  ever.  A  men.

Beheaded  in  May  or  June. 

The  date  of  the  beheading  of  Paul  is  placed  in  the 
14th  of  Nero's  reign.  Dionysius,  bishop  of  Corinth, 
A.  D.  170,  says  that  Peter  and  Paul  went  to  lt»ily, 
preached  together  there,  and  suffered  martyrdom  about 
the  same  time.  Cains  of  Rome,  in  the  2d  century, 
names  the  grave  of  Peter  on  the  Vatican,  and  of  Paul 
on  theOstian  Way;  and  others,  as  Eusebius,  Tertullian 
and  Jerome,  agree  in  this  account.  The  locality  around 
Paul's  grave  is  now  used  as  a  cemet«y  for  strangers 
who  die  in  Rome. 

The  principle  which  harmonises  all  tht  aeta,  and 
preaching,  and  letters  of  Paul,  was  a  belief  in  Jwos  as 
the  Divine  Spirit  —  a  living  Master,  intimat«ly  reUted 
to  every  living  soul,  of  whose  Gospel  he  was  the  special 
Messenger.  This  purified  his  love  of  his  own  peopk 
and  opened  his  heart  toward  all  mankind.

CHAPTER  I. 

Creation  of  heaven  and  earth,  and  of  man  in  the  image  of  God. 

IN  the  "beginning  ''God  created  the  heaven  and  the  earth. 
2  And  the  earth  was  without  form,  and  void ;  and  dark- 
ness was  upon  the  face  of  the  deep.  "And  the  Spirit  of  God 
moved  upon  the  face  of  the  waters. 

3  ^''And  God  said,  *Let  there  be  light :  and  there  was  light. 

4  And  God  saw  the  light,  that  it  was  good:  and  God 
divided  fthe  light  from  the  darkness. 

5  And  God  called  the  light-'' Day,  and  the  darkness  he  called 
Night.   fAnd  the  evening  and  the  morning  were  the  first  day. 

6  ^And  God  said,  "Let  there  be  a  ffirmament  in  the  midst 
of  the  waters,  and  let  it  divide  the  waters  from  the  waters. 

7  And  God  made  the  firmament,  ''and  divided  the  waters 
which  were  under  the  firmament  from  the  watets  which  were 
above  the  firmament :  and  it  was  so. 

8  And  God  called  the  firmament  Heaven.  And  the  evening 
and  the  morning  were  the  second  day. 

9  ^And  God  said,  *Let  the  waters  under  the  heaven  be 
gathered  together  unto  one  place,  and  let  the  dry  land 
appear :  and  it  was  so. 

10  And  God  called  the  dry  land  Earth  ;  and  the  gathering 
together  of  the  waters  called  he  Seas :  and  God  saw  that  it 
was  good. 

1 1  And  God  said,  Let  the  earth  'bring  forth  fgrass,  the  lib.'b 
yielding  seed,  and  the  fruit  tree  yielding  '"fruit  after  his  kind, 
whose  seed  is  in  itself,  upon  the  earth :  and  it  was  so. 

12  And  the  earth  brought  forth  grass,  and  herb  yielding 
seed  after  his  kind,  and  the  tree  yielding  fruit,  whose  seed 
was  in  itself,  after  his  kind :  and  God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

13  And  the  evening  and  the  morning  were  the  third  day. 

14  ^[And  God  said,  Let  there  be  "lights  in  the  firmament 
of  the  heaven,  to  divide  fthe  day  from  the  night ;  and  let 
them  be  for  signs,  and  "for  seasons,  and  for  days,  and  years  : 

15  And  let  them  be  for  lights  in  the  firmament  of  the 
heaven  to  give  light  upon  the  earth  :  and  it  was  so. 

16  And  God  ''made  two  great  lights;  the  greater  light  fto 
rule  the  day,  and  'the  lesser  light  to  rule  the  night :  he  made 
"■the  stars  also. 

17  And  God  set  them  in  the  firmament  of  the  heaven  to 
give  light  upon  the  earth, 

18  And  to  'rule  over  the  day  and  over  the  night,  and  to 
divide  the  light  from  the  darkness :  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

19  And  the  evening  and  the  morning  were  the  fourth  day. 

20  ^And  God  said.  Let  the  waters  bring  forth  abundantly 
the  II  moving  creature  that  hath  flife,  and  ffowl  that  may  fly 
above  the  earth  in  the  fopen  firmament  of  heaven. 

21  And  "God  created  great  whales,  and  every  living  crea- 
ture that  moveth,  which  the  waters  brought  forth  abun- 
dantly, after  their  kind,  and  every  winged  fowl  after  his 
kind :  and  God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

22  And  God  blessed  them,  saying,  "Be  fruitful,  and  mul- 
tiply, and  fill  the  waters  in  the  seas,  and  let  fowl  multiply 
in  the  earth. 

23  And  the  evening  and  the  morning  were  the  fifth  day. 

24  ^And  God  said.  Let  the  earth  bring  forth  the  living 
creature  after  his  kind,  cattle,  and  creeping  thing,  and  beast 
of  the  earth  after  his  kind :  and  it  was  so. 


THE  FIRST  BOOK  OF  MOSES, 


COMMONLY  CALLED 


GENESIS. 


-I-     In  the  beginning  God  created  the  heaven  and  the 

2 earth.     And  the  earth  was  waste  and  void;    and 

darkness  was  upon  the  face  of  the  deep:    and  the 

spirit  of  God  'moved  upon  the  face  of  the  waters. 

3 And  God  said.  Let  there  be  light:    and  there  was 

4 light.     And    God  saw  the  light,  that  it  was  good: 

and    God    divided    the    light    from    the    darkness. 

5  And  God  called  the  light  Day,  and  the  darkness  he 
called  Night.  And  there  was  evening  and  there  was 
morning,  one  day. 

6  And  God  said,  Let  there  be  a  ^firmament  in  the 
midst  of  the  waters,  and  let  it  divide  the  waters  from 

7  the  waters.  And  God  made  the  firmament,  and 
divided  the  waters  which  were  under  the  firmament 
from  the  waters  which  were  above  the  fii-mament :  and 

8  it  was  so.  And  God  called  the  firmament  Heaven. 
And  there  was  evening  and  there  was  morning,  a 
second  day. 

9  And  God  said.  Let  the  waters  under  the  heaven 
be  gathered  together  unto  one  place,  and  let  the  dry 

10 land  appear:  and  it  was  so.  And  God  called  the 
dry  land  Earth;  and  the  gathering  together  of  the 
waters  called   he  Seas :    and  God  saw  that  it  was 

11  good.  And  God  said,  Let  the  earth  put  forth  grass, 
herb  yielding  seed,  and  fruit  tree  bearing  fruit  after 
its  kind,  wherein  is  the  seed  thereof,  upon  the  earth : 

12  and  it  was  so.  And  the  earth  bi'ought  forth  grass, 
herb  yielding  seed  after  its  kind,  and  tree  bearing 
fruit,  wherein  is  the  seed  thereof,  after  its  kind :  and 

13  God  saw  that  it  was  good.  And  there  was  evening 
and  there  was  morning,  a  third  day. 

14  And  God  said.  Let  there  be  lights  in  the  firmament 
of  the  heaven  to  divide  the  day  from  the  night ;  and 
let  them  be  for  signs,  and  for  seasons,  and  for  days 

15 and  years:  and  let  them  be  for  lights  in  the  firma- 
ment of  the  heaven  to  give  light  upon  the  earth : 

16  and  it  was  so.  And  God  made  the  two  great  lights ; 
the  greater  light  to  rule  the  day,  and  the  lesser  light 

17 to  rule  the  night:  he  made  the  stars  also.  And 
God  set  them  in  the  firmament  of  the  heaven  to  give 

18  light  upon  the  earth,  and  to  rule  over  the  day  and 
over  the  night,  and  to  divide  the  light  from  the  dark- 

19ness:  and  God  saw  that  it  was  good.  And  there 
was  evening  and  there  was  morning,  a  fourth  day. 

20  And  God  said.  Let  the  waters  'bring  forth  abun- 
dantly the  moving  creature  that  hath  life,  and  let  fowl 
fly  above  the  earth  *in  the  open  firmament  of  heaven. 

21  And  God  created  the  great  sea-monsters,  and  every 
living  creature  that  moveth,  which  the  waters  brought 
forth  abundantly,  after  their  kinds,  and  every  winged 
fowl  after  its  kind :  and  God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

22  And  God  blessed  them,  saying.  Be  fruitful,  and  mul- 
tiply, and  fill  the  waters  in  the  seas,  and  let  fowl 

23  multiply  in  the  earth.  And  there  was  evening  and 
there  was  morning,  a  fifth  day. 

24  And  God  said.  Let  the  earth  bring  forth  the  living 
creature  after  its  kind,  cattle,  and  creeping  thing,  and 
beast  of  the  earth  after  its  kind:    and    it    was   so.

25  And  God  made  the  beast  of  the  earth  after  his  kind,  and 
cattle  after  their  kind,  and  every  thing  that  creepeth  upon 
the  earth  after  his  kind :  and  God  saw  that  it  was  good. 

26  ^And  God  said,  "^Let  us  make  man  in  our  image,  after 
our  likeness :  and  ^let  them  have  dominion  over  the  fish  of 
the  sea,  and  over  the  fowl  of  the  air,  and  over  the  cattle,  and 
over  all  the  earth,  and  over  every  creeping  thing  that  creepeth 
upon  the  earth. 

27  So  God  created  man  in  his  own  image,  ^in  the  image 
of  God  created  he  him ;  "male  and  female  created  he  them. 

28  And  God  blessed  them,  and  God  said  unto  them,  'Be 
fruitful,  and  multiply,  and  replenish  the  earth,  and  subdue 
it :  and  have  dominion  over  the  fish  of  the  sea,  and  over  the 
fowl  of  the  air,  and  over  every  living  thing  that  fmoveth 
upon  the  earth. 

29  ^And  God  said.  Behold,  I  have  given  you  every  herb 
fbearing  seed,  which  is  upon  the  face  of  all  the  earth,  and 
every  tree,  in  the  which  is  the  fruit  of  a  tree  yielding  seed ; 
"^to  you  it  shall  be  for  meat. 

30  And  to  ''every  beast  of  the  earth,  and  to  every  'fowl  of 
the  air,  and  to  every  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth, 
wherein  there  is  flife)  -^  ^^^''^  given  every  green  herb  for 
meat:  and  it  was  so. 

31  And  'God  saw  every  thing  that  he  had  made,  and  be- 
hold, it  was  very  good.  And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  sixth  day. 

CHAPTER  II. 

The  garden  of  Eden — Naming  the  creatures— Making  of  woman. 

THUS  the  heavens  and  the  earth  were  finished,  and  "all 
the  host  of  them. 

2  "And  on  the  seventh  day  God  ended  his  work  which  he 
had  made;  and  he  rested  on  the  .seventh  day  from  all  his 
work  which  he  had  made. 

3  And  God  "^blessed  the  seventh  day,  and  sanctified  it :  be- 
cause that  in  it  he  had  rested  from  all  his  work  which  God 
fcreated  and  made. 

4  ^''These  are  the  generations  of  the  heavens  and  of  the 
earth  when  they  were  created,  in  the  day  that  the  Loed  God 
made  the  earth  and  the  heavens, 

5  And  every  'plant  of  the  field  before  it  was  in  the  earth, 
and  every  herb  of  the  field  before  it  grew :  for  the  Lord 
God  had  not  ■'caused  it  to  rain  upon  the  earth,  and  there  was 
not  a  man  "to  till  the  ground. 

6  But  II  there  went  up  a  mist  from  the  earth,  and  watered 
the  whole  face  of  the  ground. 

7  And  the  Lord  God  formed  man  fo/  the  Must  of  the 
ground,  and  'breathed  into  his  ^nostrils  the  breath  of  life ;  and 
'man  became  a  living  soul. 

8  ^And  the  Lord  God  planted  ""a  garden  "eastward  in 
"E'den ;  and  there  ''he  put  the  man  whom  he  had  formed. 

9  And  out  of  the  ground  made  the  Lord  God  to  grow 
'every  tree  that  is  pleasant  to  the  sight,  and  good  for  food ; 
''the  tree  of  life  also  in  the  midst  of  the  garden,  'and  the  tree 
©f  knowledge  of  good  and  evil. 

10  ^  And  a  river  went  out  of  E'den  to  water  the  garden  ;  and 
from  thence  it  was  parted,  and  became  into  four  heads. 

11  The  name  of  the  first  is  Pi'son :  that  is  it  which  com- 
passeth  "the  whole  land  of  Hav'i-lah,  where  there  is  gold ; 

12  And  the  gold  of  that  land  is  good :  ""there  is  bdellium 
and  the  onyx  stone. 

13  And  the  name  of  the  second  river  is  Gi'hon :  the  same 
is  it  that  compasseth  the  whole  land  of  fE-thi-o'pi-a. 

14  And  the  name  of  the  third  river  is  ^Hid'de-kel :  that  is  it 
which  goeth  ||  toward  the  east  of  As-syr'i-a.  And  the  fourth 
river  is  Eu-phra'tes. 

15  ^And  the  Lord  God  took  ||  the  man,  and  "put  him  into 
the  garden  of  E'den,  to  dress  it  and  to  keep  it. 

16  And  the  Lord  God  commanded  the  man,  saying,  Of 
every  tree  of  the  garden  fthou  mayest  freely  eat : 


25  And  God  made  the  beast  of  the  earth  after  its  kind, 
and  the  cattle  after  their  kind,  and  every  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  ground  after  its  kind :  and  God  saw 

26  that  it  was  good.  And  God  said.  Let  us  make  man 
in  our  image,  after  our  likeness:  and  let  them  have 
dominion  over  the  fish  of  the  sea,  and  over  the  fowl 
of  the  air,  and  over  the  cattle,  and  over  all  the  earth, 
and  over  every  creeping  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 

27  earth.  And  God  created  man  in  his  own  image,  in 
the  image  of  God  created  he  him;  male  and  female 

28 created  he  them.  And  God  blessed  them:  and 
God  said  unto  them.  Be  fruitful,  and  multiply,  and 
replenish  the  earth,  and  subdue  it;  and  have 
dominion  over  the  fish  of  the  sea,  and  over  the  fowl 
of  the  air,  and  over  every  living  thing  that  'moveth 

29  upon  the  earth.  And  God  said.  Behold,  I  have 
given  you  every  herb  yielding  seed,  which  is  upon 
the  face  of  all  the  earth,  and  every  tree,  in  the 
which   is   the  fruit  of  a  tree  yielding  seed;  to  you 

30 it  shall  be  for  meat:  and  to  every  beast  of  the  earth, 
and  to  every  fowl  of  the  air,  and  to  every  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth,  wherein  there  is  ^life,  /  have 
given   every   green    herb    for  meat:   and   it  was   so. 

31  And  God  saw  every  thing  that  he  had  made,  and, 
behold,  it  was  very  good.  And  there  was  evening 
and  there  was  morning,  the  sixth  day. 

•4     And  the  heaven  and  the  earth  were  finished,  and 

2  all  the  host  of  them.  And  on  the  seventh  day  God 
finished  his  work  which  he  had  made ;  and  he  rested 
on  the  seventh  day  from  all  his  work  which  he  had 

3  made.  And  God  blessed  the  seventh  day,  and 
hallowed  it:  because  that  in  it  he  rested  from  all 
his  work  which  God  had  created  and  made. 

4  These  are  the  generations  of  the  heaven  and  of 
the  earth  when  they  were  created,  in  the  day  that 

5 'the  Lord  God  made  earth  and  heaven.  And  no 
plant  of  the  field  was  yet  in  the  earth,  and  no  herb 
of  the  field  had  yet  sprung  up:  for  the  Lord  God 
had  not  caused  it  to  rain  upon  the  earth,  and  there 

6 was  not  a  man  to  till  the  ground;  but  there  went 
up  a  mist  from   the  earth,  and  watered  the  whole 

7  face  of  the  ground.  And  the  Lord  God  formed  man 
of  the  dust  of  the  ground,  and  breathed  into  his 
nostrils  the  breath  of  life ;  and  man  became  a  living 

8  soul.  And  the  Lord  God  planted  a  garden  east- 
ward, in    E'den;    and   there  he  put  the  man  whom 

9  he  had  formed.  And  out  of  the  ground  made  the 
Lord  God  to  grow  every  tree  that  is  pleasant  to  the 
sight,  and  good  for  food ;  the  tree  of  life  also  in  the 
midst  of  the  garden,  and  the  tree  of  the  knowledge 

lOof  good  and  evil.  And  a  river  went  out  of  E'den  to 
water  the  garden;    and  from  thence  it  was  parted. 

Hand  became  four  heads.  The  name  of  the  first  is 
Pi'shon :  that  is  it  which  compasseth  the  whole  land 

12 of  Hav'i-lah,  where  there  is  gold;  and  the  gold  of 
that  land  is  good :  there  is  bdellium  and  the  *onyx 

13  stone.  And  the  name  of  the  second  river  is  Gi'-hon : 
the  same  is  it  that  compasseth  the  whole  land  of 

14  Cush.  And  the  name  of  the  third  river  is  "Hid'- 
de-kel :  that  is  it  which  goeth  'in  front  of  As-syr'i-a. 

15  And  the  fourth  river  is  Eu-phra'tes.  And  the 
Lord  God  took  the  man,  and  put  him  into  the 

16  garden  of  E'den  to  dress  it  and  to  keep  it.  And 
the  Lord  God  commanded  the  man,  saying.  Of 
every  tree  of  the  garden  thou  mayest  freely  eat:

CHAPTER  III. 

The  serpent  deceiveth  Eve — Man' s  /all  and  banishment  from  pat  adise. 

"^TOW  "the  serpent  was  ''more  subtile  than  any  beast  of 
-Li  the  field  which  the  Lord  God  had  made.  And  he  said 
unto  the  woman,  fYea,  hath  God  said,  Ye  shall  not  eat  of 
every  tree  of  the  garden  ? 

2  And  the  woman  said  unto  the  serpent,  We  may  eat  of 
the  fruit  of  the  trees  of  the  garden : 

3  "But  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree  which  is  in  the  midst  of  the 
garden,  God  hath  said.  Ye  shall  not  eat  of  it,  neither  shall 
ye  touch  it,  lest  ye  die. 

4  ''And  the  serpent  said  unto  the  woman.  Ye  shall  not 
surely  die : 

5  For  God  doth  know  that  in  the  day  ye  eat  thereof,  then 
'your  eyes  shall  be  opened,  and  ye  shall  be  as  gods,  know- 
ing good  and  evil. 

6  ^And  when  the  woman  saw  that  the  tree  was  good  for 
food,  and  that  it  was  fpleasant  to  the  eyes,  and  a  tree  to  be 
desired  to  make  one  wise,  she  took  of  the  fruit  thereof,  •'iand 
did  eat,  and  gave  also  unto  her  husband  with  her ;  "and  he 
did  eat. 

7  And  *the  eyes  of  them  both  were  opened,  'and  they 
knew  that  they  were  naked;  and  they  sewed  fig  leaves 
together,  and  made  themselves  ||  aprons. 

8  And  they  heard  *the  voice  of  the  Lord  God  walking  in 
the  garden  in  the  fcool  of  the  day  :  and  Ad'am  and  his  wife 
'hid  themselves  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord  God  amongst 
the  trees  of  the  garden. 

9  ^And  the  Lord  God  called  unto  Ad'am,  and  said  unto 
him.  Where  art  thou? 

10  And  he  said,  I  heard  thy  voice  in  the  garden,  ""and  1 
was  afraid,  because  I  was  naked ;  and  I  hid  myself. 

11  And  he  said.  Who  told  thee  that  thou  wast  naked? 
Hast  thou  eaten  of  the  tree,  whereof  I  commanded  thee  that 
thou  shouldest  not  eat  ? 

12  And  the  man  said,  "The  woman  whom  thou  gavest  to 
be  with  me,  she  gave  me  of  the  tree,  and  I  did  eat. 

13  And  the  Lord  God  said  unto  the  woman.  What  is  this 
that  thou  hast  done  ?  And  the  woman  said,  "The  serpent 
beguiled  me,  and  I  did  eat. 

14  ^And  the  Lord  God  said  "unto  the  serpent.  Because 
thou  hast  done  this,  thou  art  cursed  above  all  cattle,  and 
above  every  beast  of  the  field;  upon  thy  belly  shalt  thou 
go,  and  "dust  shalt  thou  eat  all  the  days  of  thy  life : 


17  but  of  the  tree  of  the  knowledge  of  good  and  evil, 
thou  shalt  not  eat  of  it:  for  in  the  day  that  thou 
eatest  thereof  thou  shalt  surely  die. 

18  And  the  Lord  God  said.  It  is  not  good  that  the 
man  should  be  alone ;  I  will  make  him  an  help  'meet 

19  for  him.  And  out  of  the  ground  the  Lord  God 
formed  every  beast  of  the  field,  and  every  fowl  of  the 
air ;  and  brought  them  unto  the  man  to  see  what  he 
would  call  them :  and  whatsoever  the  man  called 
every  living  creature,  that  was  the   name   thereof. 

20  And  the  man  gave  names  to  all  cattle,  and  to  the 
fowl  of  the  air,  and  to  every  beast  of  the  field ;  but  for 
^man  there  was  not  found  an   help  meet  for  him. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  caused  a  deep  sleep  to  fall  upon 
the  man,  and  he  slept ;  and  he  took  one  of  his  ribs, 

22  and  closed  up  the  flesh  instead  thereof:  and  the 
rib,  which  the  Lord  God  had_  taken  from  the  man, 
'made    he    a    woman,  and    brought    her    unto    the 

23  man.  And  the  man  said.  This  is  now  bone 
of  my  bones,  and  flesh  of  my  flesh:  she.  shall  be 
called  ■'Woman,  because  she  was  taken  out  of  ^Man 

24  Therefore  shall  a  man  leave  his  father  and  his 
mother,  and  shall  cleave  unto   his  wife :    and  tlrey 

25  shall  be  of  one  flesh.  And  they  were  both  naked, 
the  man  and  his  wife,  and  were  not  ashamed. 

^  Now  the  serpent  was  more  subtil  than  any  beast 
of  the  field  which  the  Lord  God  had  made.  And 
he  said  unto  the  woman,  Yea,  hath  God  said.  Ye 

2  shall  not  eat  of  "^any  tree  of  the  garden  ?  And  the 
woman  said  unto  the  serpent.  Of  the   fruit  of  the 

3  trees  of  the  garden  we  may  eat :  but  of  the  fruit  of 
the  tree  which  is  in  the  midst  of  the  garden,  God 
hath  said,  Ye  shall  not  eat  of  it,  neither  shall  ye 

4  touch  it,  lest  ye  die.     And  the  serpent  said  unto 
6  the  woman.  Ye  shall  not  surely  die :  for  God  doth 

know  that  in  the   day   ye   eat   thereof,  then    your 
eyes   shall    be    opened,  and   ye   shall   be   as  'God, 

6  knowing  good  and  evil.  And  when  the  woman 
saw  that  the  tree  was  good  for  food,  and  that  it 
was  a  delight  to  the  eyes,  and  that  the  tree  was 
*to  be  desired  to  make  one  wise,  she  took  of  the 
fruit  thereof,  and  did  eat;    and  she  gave  also  unto 

7  her  husband  with  her,  and  he  did  eat.  And  the 
eyes  of  them  both  were  opened,  and  they  knew 
that  they  were  naked ;   and  they  sewed  fig  leaves 

8  together,  and  made  themselves  'aprons.  And  they 
heard  the  '"voice  of  the  Lord  God  walking  in  the 
garden  in  the  "cool  of  the  day :  and  the  man  and 
his  wife  hid  themselves   from  the  presence  of   the 

9  Lord  God  amongst  the  trees  of  the  garden.  And 
the  Lord  God  called  unto  the  man,  and  said  unto 

10 him.  Where  art  thou?  And  he  said,  I  heard  thy 
'"voice  in  the  garden,  and    I  was   afraid,  because  I 

11  was  naked;  and  I  hid  myself.  And  he  said,  Who 
told  thee  that  thou  wast  naked  ?  Hast  thou  eaten 
of  the  tree,  whereof  I   commanded  thee  that  thou 

12 shouldest  not  eat?  And  the  man  said.  The  woman 
whom  thou  gavest  to  be  with  me,  she  gave  me  of 

13  the  tree,  and  I  did  eat.  And  the  Lord  God  said 
unto  the  woman.  What  is  this  thou  hast  done? 
And    the   woman    said.  The    serpent   beguiled    me, 

14  and  I  did  eat.  And  the  Lord  God  said  unto 
the  serpent.  Because  thou  hast  done  this,  cursed 
art  thou  '^above  all  ca;ttle,  and  '^above  every  beast 
of  the  field ;  upon  thy  belly  shalt  thou  go,  and

15  And  I  will  put  enmity  between  thee  and  the  woman, 
and  between  'thy  seed  and  'her  seed;  'it  shall  bruise  thy 
head,  and  thou  shalt  bruise  his  heel. 

16  Unto  the  woman  he  said,  I  will  greatly  multiply  thy 
sorrow  and  thy  conception ;  "in  sorrow  thou  shalt  bring 
forth  children ;  "and  thy  desire  shall  be  ||  to  thy  husband, 
and  he  shall  "'rule  over  thee. 

17  And  unto  Ad'am  he  said,  "Because  thou  hast  hearkened 
unto  the  voice  of  thy  wife,  ^and  hast  eaten  of  the  tree  "of 
which  I  commanded  thee,  saying.  Thou  shalt  not  eat  of  it : 
'cursed  is  the  ground  for  thy  sake;  "in  sorrow  shalt  thou 
eat  of  it  all  the  days  of  thy  life ; 

18  "^Thorns  also  and  thistles  shall  it  fbring  forth  to  thee ; 
and  *thou  shalt  eat  the  herb  of  the  field : 

19  •'^In  the  sweat  of  thy  face  shalt  thou  eat  bread,  till  thou 
return  unto  the  ground ;  for  out  of  it  wast  thou  taken  :  "for 
dust  thou  art,  and  *unto  dust  shalt  thou  return. 

20  And  Ad'am  called  his  wife's  name  t||  Eve;  because  she 
was  the  mother  of  all  living. 

21  Unto  Ad'am  also  and  to  his  wife  did  the  Lord  God 
make  coats  of  skins,  and  clothed  them. 

22  ^And  the  Lord  God  said,  'Behold,  the  man  is  become 
as  one  of  us,  to  know  good  and  evil :  and  now,  lest  he  put 
forth  his  hand,  *and  take  also  of  the  tree  of  life,  and  eat,  and 
live  for  ever: 

23  Therefore  the  Lord  God  sent  him  forth  from  the  garden 
of  E'den,  'to  till  the  ground  from  whence  he  was  taken. 

24  So  he  drove  out  the  man :  and  he  placed  "at  the  east  of 
the  garden  of  E'den  "cher'u-bim,  and  a  flaming  sword  which 
turned  every  way,  to  keep  the  way  of  the  tree  of  life. 

CHAPTER   IV. 

The  murder  of  Abel  and  the  curse  of  Cain. 

AND  Ad'am  knew  Eve  his  wife;  and  she  conceived,  and 
bare  1|  Cain,  and  said,  I  have  gotten  a  man  from  the  Lord. 

2  And  she  again  bare  his  brother  f  A'bel.  And  A'bel  was 
fa  keeper  of  sheep,  but  Cain  was  a  "tiller  of  the  ground. 

3  And  fin  process  of  time  it  came  to  pass,  that  Cain 
brought  'of  the  fruit  of  the  ground  an  oifering  unto  the  Lord. 

4  And  A'bel,  he  also  brought  of  "the  firstlings  of  his  fflock 
and  of  the  fat  thereof.  And  the  Lord  had  ''respect  unto 
A'bel  and  to  his  offering : 

5  But  unto  Cain  and  to  his  offering  he  had  not  respect, 
and  Cain  was  very  wroth,  'and  his  countenance  fell. 

6  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  Why  art  thou  wroth? 
and  why  is  thy  countenance  fallen  ? 

7  If  thou  doest  well,  shalt  thou  not  |]  be  accepted?  and  if 
thou  doest  not  well,  sin  lieth  at  the  door:  and  ||  unto  thee 
shall  he  his  desire,  and  thou  shalt  rule  over  him. 

8  And  Cain  talked  with  A'bel  his  brother:  and  it  came  to 
pass,  when  they  were  in  the  field,  that  Cain  rose  up  against 
A'bel  his  brother,  and  -'^slew  him. 

9  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  "Where  is  A'bel  thy 
brother?  And  he  said,  ''I  know  not:  Am  I  my  brother's 
keeper  ? 

10  And  he  said,  What  hast  thou  done  ?  the  voice  of  thy 
brother's  fblood  'crieth  unto  me  from  the  ground. 

11  And  now  art  thou  cursed  from  the  earth,  which  hath 
opened  her  mouth  to  receive  thy  brother's  blood  from  thy 
hand. 

12  When  thou  tillest  the  ground,  it  shall  not  henceforth 
yield  unto  thee  her  strength;  a  fugitive  and  a  vagabond 
shalt  thou  be  in  the  earth. 

13  And  Cain  said  unto  the  Lord,  ||My  punishment  i« 
greater  than  I  can  bear. 

14  *Behold,  thou  hast  driven  me  out  this  day  from  the  face 
of  the  earth ;  and  'from  thy  face  shall  I  be  hid ;  and  I  shall 
be  a  fugitive  and  a  vagabond  in  the  earth ;  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  '^that  every  one  that  findeth  me  shall  slay  me. 


15  and  I  will  put  enmity  between  thee  and  the 
woman,  and  between  thy  seed  and  her  seed:  it 
shall  'bruise   thy   head,  and   thou    shalt   'bruise  his 

16  heel.  Unto  the  woman  he  said,  I  will  greatly 
multiply  thy  sorrow  and  thy  conception  ;  in  sor- 
row thou  shalt  bring  forth  children ;  and  thy 
desire    shall    be    to    thy    husband,     and    he     shall 

17  rule    over    thee.     And    unto  Ad'am   he  said,    Be 
cause  thou   hast  hearkened  unto  the  voice  of  thy 
wife,  and  hast   eaten   of  the  tree,  of  which  I  com 
manded    thee,   saying,  Thou    shalt    not    eat   of   it 
cursed    is  the  ground    for  thy  sake;    in  ^toil   shalt 

18 thou  eat  of  it  all  the  days  of  thy  life;  thorns  also 
and  thistles  shall  it  bring  forth  to  thee;  and  thou 

19 shalt  eat  the  herb  of  the  field;  in  the  sweat  of  thy 
face  shalt  thou  eat  bread,  till  thou  return  unto  the 
ground ;    for  out  of  it  wast  thou    taken :    for    dust 

20  thou  art,  and  unto  dust  shalt  thou  return.  And 
the  man  called   his  wife's  name  ^Eve;  because  she 

21  was  the  mother  of  all  living.  And  the  Lord  God 
made  for  Adam  and  for  his  wife  coats  of  skins,  and 
clothed  them. 

22  And  the  Lord  God  said.  Behold,  the  man  is  be- 
come as  one  of  us,  to  know  good  and  evil ;  and 
now,  lest  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and  take  also  of  the 

23  tree  of  life,  and  eat,  and  live  for  ever :  therefore  the 
Lord  God  sent  him  forth  from  the  garden  of  E'den, 

24  to  till  the  ground  from  whence  he  was  taken.  So 
he  drove  out  the  man ;  and  he  placed  at  the  east  of 
the  garden  of  E'den  the  Cher'u-bim,  and  the  flame  of 
a  sword  which  turned  every  way,  to  keep  the  way 
of  the  tree  of  life. 

^  And  the  man  knew  Eve  his  wife;  and  she  con- 
ceived, and  bare  Cain,  and  said,  I  have  ^gotten  a 

2  man  with  the  help  of  the  Lord.  And  again  she 
bare  his  brother  A'bel.     And  A'bel  was  a  keeper  of 

3  sheep,  but  Cain  was  a  tiller  of  the  ground.  And  in 
process  of  time  it  came  to  pass,  that  Cain  brought 
of  the  fruit  of  the  ground  an  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

4  And  A'bel,  he  also  brought  of  the  firstlings  of  his  flock 
and  of  tJie  fat  thereof.     And  the  Lord  had  respect 

5 unto  A'bel  and  to  his  offering:  but  unto  Cain  and 
to   his  offering  he  had  not  respect.     And  Cain  was 

6  very  wroth,  and  his  countenance  fell.  And  the 
Lord   said   unto  Cain,  Why  art  thou  wroth?  and 

7 why  is  thy  countenance  fallen?  If  thou  doest 
well,  'shalt  thou  not  be  accepted?  and  if  thou 
doest  not  well,  sin  coucheth  at  the  door:  and 
unto  thee  ^shall    be    his  desire,  and  thou  shalt  rule 

8  over  him.  And  Cain  ^told  A'bel  his  brother.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  they  were  in  the  field,  that 
Cain  rose   up  against    A'bel    his   brother,  and  slew 

9  him.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  Where  is 
A'bel  thy  brother  ?     And  he   said,  I  know  not :  am 

101  my  brother's  keeper?  And  he  said.  What  hast  thou 
done  ?  the  voice  of  thy   brother's  blood  crieth  unto 

1 1  me  from  the  ground.  And  now  cursed  art  thou 
from  the  ground,  which  hath   opened  her  mouth  to 

12 receive  thy  brother's  blood  from  thy  hand;  when 
thou  tillest  the  ground,  it  shall  not  henceforth  yield 
unto  thee  her  strength ;  a  fugitive  and  a  wanderer 

13  shalt  thou  be  in  the  earth.  And  Cain  said  unto 
the  Lord,  *My  punishment  is  greater  'than  I  can 

14  bear.  Behold,  thou  hast  driven  me  out  this  day 
from  the  face  of  the  ground;  and  from  thy  face 
shall  I  be  hid;  and  I  shall  be  a  fugitive  and  a 
wanderer  in  the  earth ;  and  it  shall  come  to 
pass,    that    whosoever   findeth    me    shall    slay  me.

15  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Therefore  whosoever 
slayeth  Cain,  vengeance  shall  be  taken  on  him  "sevenfold. 
And  the  Lord  "set  a  mark  upon  Cain,  lest  any  finding  him 
should  kill  him. 

16  ^And  Cain  "went  out  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord, 
and  dwelt  in  the  land  of  Nod,  on  the  east  of  E'den. 

17  And  Cain  knew  his  wife;  and  she  conceived,  and  bare 
fE'noch :  and  he  builded  a  city,  'and  called  the  name  of 
the  city,  after  the  name  of  his  son,  E'noch. 

18  And  unto  E'noch  was  born  I'rad :  and  I'rad  begat 
Me-hu'ja-el :  and  Me-hu'ja-el  begat  Me-thu'sa-el :  and  Me- 
thu'sa-el  begat  fLa'mech. 

19  ^And  La'mech  took  unto  him  two  wives :  the  name  of 
the  one  was  A'dah,  and  the  name  of  the  other  Zil'lah. 

20  And  A'dah  bare  Ja'bal :  he  was  the  father  of  such  as 
dwell  in  tents,  and  of  such  as  have  cattle. 

21  And  his  brother's  name  was  Ju'bal :  he  was  the  ''father 
of  all  such  as  handle  the  harp  and  organ. 

22  And  Zil'lah,  she  also  bare  Tu'bal-cain,  an  finstructor  of 
every  artificer  in  brass  and  iron :  and  the  sister  of  Tu'bal- 
cain  wets  Na'a-mah. 

23  And  La'mech  said  unto  his  wives,  A'dah  and  Zil'lah, 
Hear  my  voice;  ye  wives  of  La'mech,  hearken  unto  my 
speech:  for  ||I  have  slain  a  man  to  my  wounding,  and  a 
young  man  ||to  my  hurt. 

24  'If  Cain  shall  be  avenged  sevenfold,  truly  La'mech 
seventy  and  sevenfold. 

25  ^And  Ad'am  knew  his  wife  again,  and  she  bare  a  son, 
and  'called  his  name  f  II  Seth  :  For  God,  said  she,  hath  ap- 
pointed me  another  seed  instead  of  A'bel,  whom  Cain  slew. 

26  And  to  Seth,  "to  him  also  there  was  born  a  son ;  and 
he  called  his  name  fE'nos:  then  began  men  ||  "to  calJ  upon 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  V. 

Thg  genealogy,  age,  and  death  of  the  Patriarchs  from  Adam  unto  Noah. 

THIS  is  the  "book  of  the  generations  of  Ad'am.  In  the  day 
that  God  created  man,  in  'the  likeness  of  God  made  he  him; 

2  "Male  and  female  created  he  them  ;  and  blessed  them,  and 
called  their  name  Ad'am,  in  the  day  when  they  were  created. 

3  And  Ad'am  lived  a  hundred  and  thirty  years,  and  begat 
a  son  in  his  own  likeness,  after  his  image ;  and  ''called  his 
name  Seth : 

4  *And  the  days  of  Ad'am  after  he  had  begotten  Seth 
were  eight  hundred  years :  -^and  he  begat  sons  and  daughters : 

5  And  all  the  days  that  Ad'am  lived  were  nine  hundred 
and  thirty  years :  "and  he  died. 

6  And  Seth  lived  a  hundred  and  five  years,  and  *begat 
E'nos : 

7  And  Seth  lived  after  he  begat  E'nos  eight  hundred  and 
seven  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters : 

8  And  all  the  days  of  Seth  were  nine  hundred  and  twelve 
years :  and  he  died. 

9  ^And  E'nos  lived  ninety  years,  and  begat  fCai'nan. 

10  And  E'nos  lived  after  he  begat  Cai'nan  eight  hundred 
and  fifteen  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters : 

1 1  And  all  the  days  of  E'nos  were  nine  hundred  and  five 
years  :  and  he  died. 

12  TJAnd  Cai'nan  lived  seventy  years,  and  begat  fMa- 
ha'la-le-el : 

13  And  Cai'nan  lived  after  he  begat  Ma-ha'la-le-el  eight 
hundred  and  forty  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters : 

14  And  all  the  days  of  Cai'nan  were  nine  hundred  and  ten 
years :  and  he  died. 

15  ^And  Ma-ha'la-Ie-el  lived  sixty  and  five  years,  and  begat 
t  Ja'red : 

16  And  Ma-ha'la-le-el  lived  after  he  begat  Ja'red  eight  hun- 
dred and  thirty  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters : 

17  And  all  the  days  of  Ma-ha'la-le-el  were  eight  hundred 
ninety  and  five  years :  and  he  died. 


15  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Therefore  whosoever 
slayeth  Cain,  vengeance  shall  be  taken  on  him  sev- 
enfold. And  the  Lord  appointed  a  sign  for  Cain, 
lest  any  finding  him  should  smite  him. 

16  And  Cain  went  out  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord, 
and  dwelt  in  the  land  of  'Nod,  ^on  the  east  of  E'den. 

17  And  Cain  knew  his  wife-:  and  she  conceived,  and 
bare  E'noch  :  and  he  builded  a  city,  and  called  the 
name  of  the  city,  after  the  name  of  his  son,  E'noch. 

18 And  unto  E'noch  was  born  I'rad:  and  I'rad  begat 
Me-hu'ja-el :    and  Me-hu'ja-el  begat  Me-thu'sha-el : 

1 9  and  Me-thu'sha-el  begat  La'mech.  And  La'mech  took 
unto  him  two  wives  :  the  name  of  the  one  was  A'dah, 

20 and  the  name  of  the  other  Zil'lah.  And  A'dah  bare 
Ja'bal :  he  was  the  father  of  such  as  dwell  in  tents 

21  and  have  cattle.  And  his  brother's  name  was  Ju'bal : 
he  was  the  father  of  all  such  as  handle  the  harp  and 

22  pipe.  And  Zil'lah,  she  also  bare  Tu'bal-cain,  'the 
forger  of  every  cutting  instrument  of  ''brass  and 
iron :  and  the  sister  of  Tu'bal-cain  was  Na'a-mah. 

23 And  La'mech  said  unto  his  wives: 
A'dah  and  Zil'lah,  hear  my  voice ; 
Ye  wives  of  La'mech,  hearken  unto  my  speech : 
For  ■'^I  have  slain  a  man  '''for  wounding  me, 
And  a  young  man  for  bruising  me : 

24  If  Cain  shall  be  avenged  sevenfold. 
Truly  La'mech  seventy  and  sevenfold. 

25  And  Ad'am  knew  his  wife  again ;  and  she  bare  a  son, 
and  called  his  name  'Seth :  For,  said  she,  God  *hath 
appointed  me  another  seed  instead  of  A'bel ;  for  Cain 

26  slew  him.  And  to  Seth,  to  him  also  there  was  born 
a  son  ;  and  he  called  his  name  E'nosh  :  then  began 
men  to  call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

O  This  is  the  book  of  the  generations  of  Ad'am.  In 
the  day  that  God  created  man,  in  the  likeness  of 

2 God  made  he  him;  male  and  female  created  he 
them ;    and   blessed  them,  and   called    their  name 

3 'Ad'am,  in  the  day  when  they  were  created.  And 
Ad'am  lived  an  hundred  and  thirty  years,  and  begat 
a  son  in  his  own  likeness,  after  his  image ;  and  called 

4  his  name  Seth :  and  the  days  of  Ad'am  after  he 
begat  Seth  were  eight  hundred  years :  and  he  begat 

5  sons  and  daughters.  And  all  the  days  that  Ad'am 
lived  were  nine  hundred  and  thirty  years :  and  he 
died. 

6  And  Seth  lived  an  hundred  and  five  years,  and 

7  begat  E'nosh :  and  Seth  lived  after  he  begat  E'nosh 
eight  hundred  and  seven  years,  and  begat  sons  and 

8  daughters :  and  all  the  days  of  Seth  were  nine  hun-

9  And  E'nosh  lived  ninety  years,  and  begat  Ke'nan  : 
10  and  E'nosh  lived  after  he  begat  Ke'nan  eight  hundred 

and  fifteen   years,  and   begat   sons   and   daughters :

CHAPTER  VI. 

Wickedness  of  the  world— God's  wrath— Order  and  form  of  the  ark. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  "when  men  began  to   mu'.tiply  on 
the  face  of  the  earth,  and  daughters  were  born  unto  them, 

2  That  the  sons  of  God  saw  the  daughters  of  men  that  they 
were  fair;  and  they  Hook  them  wives  of  all  which  they  chose. 

3  And  the  Lord  said,  "My  Spirit  shall  not  always  strive 
with  man,  ''for  that  he  also  is  flesh :  yet  his  days  shall  be  a 
hundred  and  twenty  years. 

4  There  were  giants  in  the  earth  in  those  days;  and  also 
after  that,  when  the  sons  of  God  came  in  unto  the  daughters 
of  men,  and  they  bare  children  to  them:  the  same  became 
mighty  men  which  were  of  old,  men  of  renown. 

5  ^And  God  saw  that  the  wickedness  of  man  was  great 
in  the  earth,  and  that  ||  every  ''imagination  of  the  thoughts 
of  his  heart  was  only  evil  fcontinually. 

6  And  ^it  repented  the  Lord  that  he  had  made  man  on 
the  earth,  and  it  "grieved  him  at  his  heart. 

7  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will  destroy  man  whom  I  have 
created  from  the  face  of  the  earth ;  fboth  man  and  beast, 
and  the  creeping  thing,  and  the  fowls  of  the  air;  for  it  re- 
pen  teth  me  that  I  have  made  them. 

8  But  No'ah  *found  grace  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord. 

9  ^[These  are  the  generations  of  No'ah:  'No'ah  was  a  just 
man  and  ||  perfect  in  his  generations,  and  No'ah  *  walked 
with  God. 

10  And  No'ah  begat  three  sons,  'Shem,  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth. 

11  The  earth  also  was  corrupt  "before  God;  and  the  earth 
was  "filled  with  violence. 

12  And  God  "looked  upon  the  earth,  and  behold,  it  was 
corrupt;  for  all  flesh  had  corrupted  his  way  upon  the  earth. 

13  And  God  said  unto  No'ah,  ''The  end  of  all  flesh  is  come 
before  me;  for  the  earth  is  filled  with  violence  through 
them;  'and  behold,  I  will  destroy  them  ||  with  the  earth. 

14  ^Make  thee  an  ark  of  gopher  wood;  frooms  shalt 
thou  make  in  the  ark,  and  shalt  pitch  it  within  and  without 
with  pitch. 


18     And  Ja'red  lived  an  hundred  sixty  and  two  years, 

19 and  begat  E'noch:  and  Ja'red  lived  after  he  begat 

E'noch  eight  hundred  years,  and  begat  sons   and 

20  daughters :  and  all  the  days  of  Ja'red  were  nine  hun- 
dred sixty  and  two  years :  and  he  died. 

21  And  E'noch  lived  sixty  and  five  years,  and  begat 

22  Me-thu'se-lah  :  and  E'noch  walked  with  God  after  he 
begat  Me-thu'se-lah  three  hundred  years,  and  begat 

23  sons  and  daughters :  and  all  the  days  of  E'noch  were 
24 three  hundred  sixty  and  five  years:    and   E'noch 

walked  with  God:  and  he  was  not;  for  God  took 
him. 

25  And  Me-thu'se-lah  lived  an  hundred  eighty  and 

26  seven  years,  and  begat  La'mech :  and  Me-thu'se-lah 
lived  after  he  begat  La'mech  seven  hundred  eighty 

27  and  two  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters :  and  all 
the  days  of  Me-thu'se-lah  were  nine  hundred  sixty  and 
nine  years :  and  he  died. 

28  And  La'mech  lived  an  hundred  eighty  and  two 

29  years,  and  begat  a  son :  and  he  called  his  name  No'ah, 
saying.  This  same  shall  'comfort  us  for  our  work  and 
for  the  toil  of  our  hands,  ^because  of  the   ground 

30  which  the  Lord  hath  cursed.  And  La'mech  lived 
after  he  begat  No'ah  five  hundred  ninety  and  five 

31  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters :  and  all  the  days 
of  La'mech  were  seven  hundred  seventy  and  seven 
years :  and  he  died. 

32  And  No'ah  was  five  hundred  years  old :  and  No'ah 
begat  Shem,  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth. 

v^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  men  began  to  multiply 
on  the  face  of  the  ground,  and  daughters  were  born 

2  unto  them,  that  the  sons  of  God  saw  the  daughters 
of  men  that  they  were  fair;  and  they  took  them 

3  wives  of  ail  that  they  chose.  And  the  Lord  said. 
My  .spirit  shall  not  ^strive  with  man  for  ever,  *for  that 
he  also  is  flesh :  ^yet  shall  his  days  be  an  hundred 

4  and  twenty  years.  The  ^Neph'i-lim  were  in  the  earth 
in  those  days,  and  also  after  that,  when  the  sons  of 
God  came  in  unto  the  daughters  of  men,  and  they 
bare  children  to  them :  the  same  were  the  mighty 

5  men  which  were  of  old,  the  men  of  renown.  And 
the  Lord  saw  that  the  wickedness  of  man  was  great 
in  the   earth,  and   that    every    imagination  of  the 

6  thoughts  of  his  heart  was  only  evil  continually.  A  nd 
it  repented  the  Lord  that  he  had  made  man  on  the 

7  earth,  and  it  grieved  him  at  his  heart.  And  the  Lord 
said,  I  will  Me.stroy  man  whom  I  have  created  from 
the  face  of  the  ground ;  both  man,  and  beast,  and 
creeping  thing,  and  fowl  of  the  air ;  for  it  repenteth 

8  me  that  I  have  made  them.  But  No'ah  found  grace 
in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord. 

9  These  are  the  generations  of  No'ah.     No'ah  was  a 

10  righteous  man,  and 'perfect  in  his  generations :  No'ah 
walked  with  God.    And  No'ah  begat  three  sons,  Shem, 

1 1  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth .  And  the  earth  was  corrupt  before 

12  God,  and  the  earth  was  filled  with  violence.  And 
God  saw  the  earth,  and,  behold,  it  was  corrupt ;  for 
all  flesh  had  corrupted  his  way  upon  the  earth. 

13  And  God  said  unto  No'ah,  The  end  of  all  flesh 
is  come  before  me;  for  the  earth  is  filled  with 
violence  through  them ;  and,  behold,  I  will  destroy 

14  them  with  the  earth.  Make  thee  an  ark  of 
gopher  wood;  'rooms  shalt  thou  make  in  the  ark, 
and  shalt  pitch  it  within  and  without  with  pitch.

15  And  this  is  the  fashion  which  thou  shalt  make  it  of: 
The  length  of  the  ark  shall  be  three  hundred  cubits,  the 
breadth  of  it  fifty  cubits,  and  the  height  of  it  thirty  cubits. 

16  A  window  shalt  thou  make  to  the  ark,  and  in  a  cubit 
shalt  thou  finish  it  above ;  and  the  door  of  the  ark  shalt 
thou  set  in  the  side  thereof:  with  lower,  second,  and  third 
stories  shalt  thou  make  it. 

17  'And  behold,  1,  even  I,  do  bring  a  flood  of  waters  upon 
the  earth,  to  destroy  all  flesh,  wherein  is  the  breath  of  life, 
from  under  heaven:  and  every  thing  that  is  in  the  earth 
shall  die. 

18  But  with  thee  will  I  establish  my  covenant :  and  'thou 
shalt  come  into  the  ark,  thou,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  wife, 
and  thy  sons'  wives  with  thee. 

19  And  of  every  living  thing  of  all  flesh,  'two  of  every 
sort  shalt  thou  bring  into  the  ark,  to  keep  them  alive  with 
thee;  they  shall  be  male  and  female. 

20  Of  fowls  after  their  kind,  and  of  cattle  after  their  kind, 
of  every  creeping  thing  of  the  earth  after  his  kind ;  two  of 
every  sort  "shall  come  unto  thee,  to  keep  them  alive. 

21  And  take  thou  unto  thee  of  all  food  that  is  eaten,  and 
thou  shalt  gather  it  to  thee;  and  it  shall  be  for  food  for 
thee,  and  for  them. 

22  "Thus  did  No'ah;  "according  to  all  that  God  com- 
manded him,  so  did  he. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

Noah,  his  family,  and  living  creatures  enter  the  ark  — The  flood. 

AND  the  LoED  said  unto  No'ah,  "Come  thou  and  all  thy 
house  into  the  ark ;  for  'thee  have  I  seen  righteous  before 
me  in  this  generation. 

2  Of  every  'clean  beast  thou  shalt  take  to  thee  by  fsevens, 
the  male  and  his  female :  ''and  of  beasts  that  are  not  clean 
by  two,  the  male  and  his  female. 

3  Of  fowls  also  of  the  air  by  sevens,  the  male  and  the 
female ;  to  keep  seed  alive  upon  the  face  of  all  the  earth. 

4  For  yet  seven  days,  and  I  will  cause  it  to  rain  upon  the 
earth  'forty  days  and  forty  nights ;  and  every  living  sub- 
stance that  I  have  made  will  I  fdestroy  from  off  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

5  ^And  No'ah  did  according  unto  all  that  the  Lobd  com- 
manded him. 

6  And  No'ah  was  six  hundred  years  old  when  the  .flood 
of  waters  was  upon  the  earth. 

7  ^"And  No'ah  went  in,  and  his  sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his 
sons'  wives  with  him,  into  the  ark,  because  of  the  waters  of 
the  flood. 

8  Of  clean  beasts,  and  of  beasts  that  are  not  clean,  and  of 
fowls,  and  of  every  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth, 

9  There  went  in  two  and  two  unto  No'an  into  the  ark,  the 
male  and  the  female,  as  God  had  commanded  No'ah. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  ||  after  seven  days,  that  the  waters 
of  the  flood  were  upon  the  earth. 

11  l[In  the  six  hundredth  year  of  No'ah's  life,  in  the 
second  month,  the  seventeenth  day  of  the  month,  the  same 
day  were  all  ''the  fountains  of  the  great  deep  broken  up,  and 
II 'the  windows  of  heaven  were  opened. 

12  *And  the  rain  was  upon  the  earth  forty  days  and  forty 
nights. 

13  In  the  selfsame  day  'entered  No'ah,  and  Shem,  and 
Ham,  and  Ja'pheth,  the  sons  of  No'ah,  and  No'ah's  wife,  and 
the  three  wives  of  his  sons  with  them,  into  the  ark ; 

14  ™They,  and  every  beast  after  his  kind,  and  all  the  cattle 
after  their  kind,  and  every  creeping  thing  that  creepeth  upon 
the  earth  after  his  kind,  and  every  fowl  after  his  kind,  every 
bird  of  every  fsort. 

15  And  they  "went  in  unto  No'ah  into  the  ark,  two  and 
two  of  all  flesh,  wherein  is  the  breath  of  life. 

16  And  they  that  went  in,  went  in  male  and  female  of  all 


15 And  this  is  how  thou  shalt  make  it:  the  length 
of  the  ark  three  hundred  cubits,  the  breadth  of 
it  fifty  cubits,  and  the   height  of  it  thirty  cubits. 

16  A  'light  shalt  thou  make  to  the  ark,  and  to  a 
cubit  shalt  thou  finish  it  ^upward ;  and  the  door 
of  the  ark  shalt  thou  set  in  the  side  thereof; 
with   lower,  second,  and    third   stories   shalt  thou 

17  make  it.  And  I,  behold,  I  do  bring  the  flood  of 
waters  upon  the  earth,  to  destroy  all  flesh,  wherein 
is  the  breath  of  life,  from  under  heaven  ;  every  thing 

18  that  is  in  the  earth  shall  die.  But  I  will  establish 
my  covenant  with  thee ;  and  thou  shalt  come  into 
the  ark,  thou,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  wife,  and  thy 

19  sons'  wives  with  thee.  And  of  every  living  thing  of 
all  flesh,  two  of  every  sort  shalt  thou  bring  into  the 
ark,  to  keep  them  alive  with  thee  ;  they  shall  be  male 

20  and  female.  Of  the  fowl  after  their  kind,  and  of  the 
cattle  after  their  kind,  of  every  creeping  thing  of  the 
ground  after  its  kind,  two  of  every  sort  shall  come 

21  unto  thee,  to  keep  them  alive.  And  take  thou  unto 
thee  of  all  food  that  is  eaten,  and  gather  it  to  thee ; 

22  and  it  shall  be  for  food  for  thee,  and  for  them.  Thus 
did  No'ah  ;  according  to  all  that  God  commanded 
him,  so  did  he. 

♦  And  the  Lord  said  unto  No'ah,  Come  thou  and  all 
thy  house  into  the  ark ;  for  thee  have  I  seen  right- 

2eous  before  me  in  this  generation.  Of  every  clean 
beast  thou  shalt  take  to  thee  seven  and  seven,  the 
male  and  his  female ;  and  of  the  beasts  that  are  not 

3  clean  two,  the  male  and  his  female  ;  of  the  fowl  also 
of  the  air,  seven  and  seven,  male  and  female  :  to  keep 

4  seed  alive  upon  the  face  of  all  the  earth.  For  yet 
seven  days,  and  I  will  cause  it  to  rain  upon  the  earth 
forty  days  and  forty  nights ;  and  every  living  thing 
that  I  have  made  will  I  'destroy  from  off  the  face  of 

5  the  ground.  And  No'ah  did  according  unto  all  that 
the  Lord  commanded  him. 

6  And  No'ah  was  six  hundred  years  old  when  the 

7  flood  of  waters  was  upon  the  earth.  And  No'ah 
went  in,  and  his  sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his  sons' 
wives  with  him,  into  the  ark,  because  of  the  waters 

8  of  the  flood.  Of  clean  beasts,  and  of  beasts  that  are 
not  clean,  and  of   fowls,  and   of  every  thing  that 

9  creepeth  upon  the  ground,  there  went  in  two  and  two 
unto  No'ah  into  the  ark,  male  and  female,  as  God 

10  commanded  No'ah.  And  it  came  to  pass  after  the 
seven  days,  that  the  waters  of  the  flood  were  upon 

11  the  earth.  In  the  six  hundredth  year  of  No'ah's  life, 
in  the  second  month,  on  the  seventeenth  day  of  the 
month,  on  the  same  day  were  all  the  fountains  of  the 
great  deep  broken  up,  and  the  windows  of  heaven 

1 2  were  opened.     And   the   rain  was   upon   the  earth 

13  forty  days  and  forty  nights.  In  the  selfsame  day 
entered  No'ah,  and  Shem,  and  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth, 
the  sons  of  No'ah,  and  No'ah's  wife,  and  the  three 

14  wives  of  his  sons  with  them,  into  the  ark  ;  they, 
and  every  beast  after  its  kind,  and  all  the  cattle 
after  their  kind,  and  every  creeping  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth   after   its    kind,  and  every 

15  fowl  after  its  kind,  every  bird  of  every  *sort.  And 
they  went  in  unto  No'ah  into  the  ark,  two  and  two 

16  of  all  flesh  wherein  is  the  breath  of  life.  And 
they  that  went  in,  went  in  male  and  female  of  all

him  in. 

17  ''And  the  flood  was  forty  days  upon  the  earth;  and  the 
waters  increased,  and  bare  up  the  ark,  and  it  was  lifted  up 
above  the  earth. 

18  And  the  waters  prevailed,  and  were  increased  greatly 
upon  the  earth ;  'and  the  ark  went  upon  the  face  of  the  waters. 

19  And  the  waters  prevailed  exceedingly  upon  the  earth ; 
"■and  all  the  high  hills,  that  were  under  the  whole  heaven, 
were  covered. 

20  Fifteen  cubits  upward  did  the  waters  prevail;  and  the 
mountains  were  covered. 

21  'And  all  flesh  died  that  moved  upon  the  earth,  both  of 
fowl,  and  of  cattle,  and  of  beast,  and  of  every  creeping  thing 
that  creepeth  upon  the  earth,  and  every  man : 

22  All  in  'whose  nostrils  was  fthe  breath  of  life,  of  all 
that  was  in  the  dry  land,  died. 

23  And  every  living  substance  was  destroyed  which  was 
upon  the  face  of  the  ground,  both  man,  and  cattle,  and  the 
creeping  things,  and  the  fowl  of  the  heaven ;  and  they  were 
destroyed  from  the, earth:  and  "No'ah  only  remained  alive, 
and  they  that  were  with  him  in  the  ark. 

24  ""And  the  waters  prevailed  upon  the  earth  a  hundred 
and  fifty  days. 

CHAPTER   VIII. 

The  ark  resteth  on  Ararat — Noah  buildeth  an  altar,  and  offereth  sacrifice. 

AND  God  "remembered  No'ah,  and  every  living  thing,  and 
all  the  cattle  that  was  with  him  in  the  ark :  ''and  God  made 
a  wind  to  pass  over  the  earth,  and  the  waters  assuaged. 

2  "The  fountains  also  of  the  deep,  and  the  windows  of  heaven 
were  stopped,  and  ''the  rain  from  heaven  was  restrained. 

3  And  the  waters  returned  from  off  the  earth  fcontinu- 
ally:  and  after  the  end  "of  the  hundred  and  fifty  days  the 
waters  were  abated. 

4  ^And  the  ark  rested  in  the  seventh  month,  on  the  seven- 
teenth day  of  the  month,  upon  the  mountains  of  Ar'a-rat. 

5  And  the  waters  fdecreased  continually  until  the  tenth 
month :  in  the  tenth  month,  on  the  fii'st  day  of  the  month, 
were  the  tops  of  the  mountains  seen. 

6  ^And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  forty  days,  that  No'ah 
opened  -^the  window  of  the  ark  which  he  had  made : 

7  And  he  sent  forth  a  raven,  which  went  forth  fto  and 
fro,  until  the  waters  were  dried  up  from  off  the  earth. 

8  Also  he  sent  forth  a  dove  from  him,  to  see  if  the  waters 
were  abated  from  off  the  face  of  the  ground. 

9  But  the  dove  found  no  rest  for  the  sole  of  her  foot,  and 
she  returned  unto  him  into  the  ark ;  for  the  waters  ^vere  on 
the  face  of  the  whole  earth.  Then  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and 
took  her,  and  fpulled  her  in  unto  him  into  the  ark. 

10  And  he  stayed  yet  other  seven  days;  and  again  he 
sent  forth  the  dove  out  of  the  ark. 

11  And  the  dove  came  in  to  him  in  the  evening;  and,  lo, 
in  her  mouth  was  an  olive  leaf  plucked  off:  so  No'ah  knew 
that  the  waters  were  abated  from  off  the  earth. 

12  And  he  stayed  yet  other  seven  days,  and  sent  forth 
the  dove,  which  returned  not  again  unto  him  any  more. 

13  %And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  six  hundredth  and  first 
year,  in  the  first  month,  the  first  day  of  the  month,  the 
waters  were  dried  up  from  off  the  earth :  and  No'ah  re- 
moved the  covering  of  the  ark,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  face  of  the  ground  was  dry. 

14  And  in  the  second  month,  on  the  seven  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  month,  was  the  earth  dried. 

15  ^And  God  spake  unto  No'ah,  saying, 

16  Go  forth  of  the  ark,  "thou,  and  thy  wife,  and  thy  sons, 
and  thy  sons'  wives  with  thee. 

1?  Bring  forth  with  thee  *every  living  thing  that  is  with 
thee,  of  all  flesh,  both  of  fowl,  and  of  cattle,  and  of  every 
creeping  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth ;  that  they  may 


flesh,    as    God    commanded    him :    and    the    Loed 

17  shut  him  in.  And  the  flood  was  forty  days  upon 
the  earth;    and  the  waters  increased,  and   bare   up 

18  the  ark,  and  it  was  lift  up  above  the  earth.  And 
the  waters  prevailed,  and  increased  greatly  upon  the 
earth ;  and  the  ark  went  upon  the  face  of  the  waters. 

19  And  the  waters  prevailed  exceedingly  upon  the  earth; 
and  all  the  high  mountains  that  were  under  the  whole 

20  heaven  were  covered.  Fifteen  cubits  upward  did 
the  waters  prevail ;  and  the  mountains  were  covered. 

21  And  all  flesh  died  that  moved  upon  the  earth,  both 
fowl,  and  cattle,  and  beast,  and  every  'creeping  thing 

22  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth,  and  every  man :  all  in 
whose  nostrils  was  the  breath  of  the  spirit  of  life,  of 

23  all  that  was  in  the  dry  land,  died.  ^And  every  living 
thing  was  ^destroyed  which  was  upon  the  face  of  the 
ground,  both  man,  and  cattle,  and  creeping  thing, 
and  fowl  of  the  heaven ;  and  they  were  'destroyed 
from  the  earth:  and  No'ah  only  was  left,  and  they 

24  that  were  with  him  in  the  ark.  And  the  waters 
prevailed  upon  the  earth  an  hundred  and  fifty 
days. 

O  And  God  remembered  No'ah,  and  every  living 
thing,  and  all  the  cattle  that  were  with  him  in  the 
ark  :  and  God  made  a  wind  to  pass  over  the  earth, 

2 and  the  waters  assuaged;  the  fountains  also  of  the 
deep  and  the  windows  of  heaven  were  stopped,  and 

3  the  rain  from  heaven  was  restrained ;  and  the  waters 
returned  from  off  the  earth  continually :  and  after 
the  end  of  an   hundred   and   fifty  days  the   waters 

4  decreased.  And  the  ark  rested  in  the  seventh 
month,  on  the  seventeenth  day  of  the  month,  upon 

5  the  mountains  of  Ar'a-rat.  And  the  waters  decreased 
continually  until  the  tenth  month :  in  the  tenth 
month,  on  the  first  day  of  the  month,  were  the  tops 

6  of  the  mountains  seen.  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  forty  days,  that  No'ah  opened  the  window  of 

7  the  ark  which  he  had  made :  and  he  sent  forth  a 
raven,  and  it  went  forth  to  and  fro,  until  the  waters 

8  were  dried  up  from  off  the  earth.  And  he  sent  forth 
a  dove  from  him,  to  see  if  the  waters  were  abated 

9  from  off  the  face  of  the  ground ;  but  the  dove  found 
no  lest  for  the  sole  of  her  foot,  and  she  returned 
unto  him  to  the  ark,  for  the  waters  were  on  the  face 
of  the  whole  earth :  and  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and 
took  her,  and  brought  her  in  unto  him  into  the  ark. 

10  And  he  stayed  yet  other  seven  days;  and  again  he 

11  sent  forth  the  dove  out  of  the  ark;  and  the  dove 
came  in  to  him  at  eventide ;  and,  lo,  in  her  mouth 
%u  olive  leaf  pluckt  off:  so   No'ah  knew  that   the 

12  waters  were  abated  from  off  the  earth.  And  he 
stayed  yet  other  seven  days;  and  sent  forth  the 
dove ;  and    she   returned   not  again   unto   him  any 

13  more.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  sixth  hundred  and 
first  year,  in  the  first  month,  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  the  waters  were  dried  up  from  off  the  earth : 
and  No'ah  removed  the  covering  of  the  ark,  and 
looked,   and,  behold,  the  face    of  the   ground   was 

14  dried.  And  in  the  second  month,  on  the  seven  and 
twentieth  day  of  the  month,  was  the  earth  dry. 

le  And  God  spake  unto  No'ah,  saying,  Go  forth 
of  the  ark,  thou,  and  thy  wife,  and  thy  sons, 
17  and  thy  sons'  wives  with  thee.  Bring  forth 
with  thee  every  living  thing  that  is  with  thee  of 
all  flesh,  both  fowl,  and  cattle,  and  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth ;  that  they  may

upon  the  earth. 

18  And  No'ah  went  forth,  and  his  sons,  and  his  wife,  and 
his  sons'  wives  with  him : 

19  Every  beast,  every  creeping  thing,  and  every  fowl,  mid 
whatsoever  creepeth  upon  the  earth,  after  their  fkinds, 
went  forth  out  of  the  ark. 

20  ^And  No'ah  builded  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  took 
of  *every  clean  beast,  and  of  every  clean  fowl,  and  offered 
burnt  oiierings  on  the  altar. 

21  And  the  Lord  smelled  'a  fsweet  savour ;  and  the 
Lord  said  in  his  heart,  I  will  not  again  ""curse  the  ground 
any  more  for  man's  sake ;  ||  for  the  "imagination  of  man's 
heart  is  evil  from  his  youth  :  "neither  will  I  again  smite  any 
more  every  thing  living,  as  I  have  done. 

22  "fWhile  the  earth  remaineth,  seedtime  and  harvest, 
and  cold  and  heat,  and  summer  and  winter,  and  'day  and 
night  shall  not  cease. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

God's  covenant  signified  by  the  rainbow — Noah  replenisheth  the  world. 

AND  God  blessed  No'ah  and  his  sons,  and  said  unto  them, 
"Be  fruitful,  and  multiply,  and  replenish  the  earth. 

2  'And  the  fear  of  you  and  the  dread  of  you  shall  be 
upon  every  beast  of  the  earth,  and  upon  every  fowl  of  the 
air,  upon  all  that  moveth  wpon  the  earth,  and  upon  all  the 
fishes  of  the  sea ;  into  your  hand  are  they  delivered. 

3  ""Every  moving  thing  that  liveth  shall  be  meat  for  you ; 
even  as  the  ''green  herb  have  I  given  you  'all  things. 

4  -^But  flesh  with  the  life  thereof,  which  is  the  blood 
thereof,  shall  ye  not  eat. 

5  And  surely  your  blood  of  your  lives  will  I  require  :  "at 
the  hand  of  every  beast  will  I  require  it,  and  'at  the  hand 
of  man  ;  at  the  hand  of  every  'man's  brother  will  I  require 
the  life  of  man. 

6  'Whoso  sheddeth  man's  blood,  by  man  shall  his  blood 
be  shed :  'for  in  the  image  of  God  made  he  man. 

7  And  you,  ""be  ye  fruitful,  and  multiply  ;  bring  forth 
abundantly  in  the  earth,  and  multiply  therein. 

8  ^And  God  spake  unto  No'ah,  and  to  his  sons  with  him, 
saying, 

9  And  I,  "behold,  I  establish  "my  covenant  with  you,  and 
with  your  seed  after  you  ; 

10  "Aud  with  every  living  creature  that  is  with  you,  of  the 
fowl,  of  the  cattle,  and  of  every  beast  of  the  earth  with  you ; 
from  all  that  go  out  of  the  ark,  to  every  beast  of  the  earth. 

11  And  "I  will  establish  my  covenant  with  you;  neither 
shall  all  flesh  be  cut  off  any  more  by  the  waters  of  a  flood ; 
neither  shall  there  any  more  be  a  flood  to  destroy  the  earth. 

12  And  God  said,  ''This  is  the  token  of  the  covenant 
which  I  make  between  me  and  you  and  every  living 
creature  that  is  with  you,  for  perpetual  generations : 

13  I  do  set  'my  bow  in  the  cloud,  and  it  shall  be  for  a 
token  of  a  covenant  between  me  and  the  earth. 

14  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  I  bring  a  cloud  over 
the  earth,  that  the  bow  shall  be  seen  in  the  cloud : 

15  And  "I  will  remember  my  covenant,  which  is  between 
me  and  you  and  every  living  creature  of  all  flesh ;  and  the 
waters  shall  no  more  become  a  flood  to  destroy  all  flesh. 

16  And  the  bow  shall  be  in  the  cloud  ;  and  I  will  look  upon 
it,  that  I  may  remember  ""the  everlasting  covenant  between 
God  and  every  living  creature  of  all  flesh  that  is  upon  the  earth. 

17  And  God  said  unto  No'ah,  This  is  the  token  of  the  cov- 
enant, which  I  have  established  between  me  and  all  flesh 
that  is  upon  the  earth. 

18  ^And  the  sons  of  No'ah,  that  went  forth  of  the  ark, 
were  Shem,  and  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth  :  ^and  Ham  is  the  father 
of  fCa'naan.

the  whole  earth  overspread.

and   his    wife,  and   his   sons' 

every    beast,    every    creeping 


9 


thing,  and  every  fowl,  whatsoever  moveth  upon 
the  earth,  after    their    families,  went    forth   out  of 

20  the  ark.  And  No'ah  builded  an  altar  unto  the 
Lord  ;  and  took  of  every  clean  beast,  and  of  every 
clean    fowl,    and    offered    burnt    offerings    on    the 

21  altar.  And  the  Lord  smelled  the  sweet  savour; 
and  the  Lord  said  in  his  heart,  I  will  not  again 
curse  the  ground  any  more  for  man's  'sake,  for  that 
the  imagination  of  man's  heart  is  evil  from  his 
youth;  neither  will  I  again  smite  any  more  every 

22  thing  living,  as  I  have  done.  While  the  earth 
remaineth,  seedtime  and  harvest,  and  cold  and  heat, 
and  summer  and  winter,  and  day  and  night  shall  not 
cease.  And  God  blessed  No'ah  and  his  sons,  and 
said  unto  them.  Be  fruitful,  and  multiply,  and  replen- 

2ish  the  earth.  And  the  fear  of  you  and  the  dread  of 
you  shall  be  upon  every  beast  of  the  earth,  and  upon 
every  fowl  of  the  air;  with  all  wherewith  the  ground 
Heemeth,  and  all  the  fishes  of  the  sea,  into  your 

3  hand  are  they  delivered.  Every  moving  thing  that 
liveth  shall  be  food  for  you ;  as  the  green  herb  have 

41  given  you  all.     But  flesh -with  the  life  thereof, 

6  which  is  the  blood  thereof,  shall  ye  not  eat.  And 
surely  your  blood,  the  blood  of  your  lives,  will  I 
require ;  at  the  hand  of  every  beast  will  I  require  it ; 
and  at  the  hand  of  man,  even  at  the  hand  of  every 

6  man's  brother,  will  I  require  the  life  of  man.  Whoso 
sheddeth  man's  blood,  by  man  shall    his   blood   be 

7  shed :  for  in  the  image  of  God  made  he  man.  And 
you,  be  ye  fruitful,  and  multiply ;  bring  forth  abun- 
dantly in  the  earth,  and  multiply  therein. 

8  And  God  spake  unto  No'ah,  and  to  his  sons  with 

9  him,  saying.  And  I,  behold,  I  establish  my  covenant 
10 with  you,  and  with  your  seed  after  you;    and  with 

every  living  creature  that  is  with  you,  the  fowl,  the 
cattle,  and  every  beast  of  the  earth  with  you ;  of  all 
that  go  out  of  the  ark,  even  every  beast  of  the  earth. 

11  And  I  will  establish  my  covenant  with  you;  neither 
shall  all  flesh  be  cut  off  any  more  by  the  waters  of 
the  flood;    neither  shall  there  any  more  be  a  flood 

12  to  destroy  the  earth.  And  God  said.  This  is  the 
token  of  the  covenant  which  I  make  between  me  and 
you  and  every  living  creature  that  is  with  you,  for 

13 perpetual  generations:  ^I  do  set  my  bow  in  the 
cloud,  and   it  shall   be   for  a  token   of  a  covenant 

14  between  me  and  the  earth.  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  when  I  bring  a  cloud  over  the  earth,  that  the 

15  bow  .shall  be  seen  in  the  cloud,  and  I  will  remember 
my  covenant,  which  is  between  me  and  you  and 
every  living  creature  of  all  flesh;  and  the  waters 
shall   no  more  become  a  flood  to  destroy  all  flesh. 

16  And  the  bow  shall  be  in  the  cloud;  and  I  will  look 
upon  it,  that  I  may  remember  the  everlasting  cove- 
nant between  God  and  every  living  creature  of  all 

17  flesh  that  is  upon  the  earth.  And  God  said  unto 
No'ah,  This  is  the  token  of  the  covenant  which  I 
have  established  between  me  and  all  flesh  that  is 
upon  the  earth. 

18  And  the  sons  of  No'ah,  that  went  forth  of  the  ark, 
were  Shem,  and  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth :  and  Ham  is  the 

19  father  of  Ca'naan.  These  three  were  the  sons  of 
No'ah :  and  of  these  was  the  whole  earth  overspread.

20  And  No'ah  began  to  be  "a  husbandman,  and  he  planted 
a  vineyard : 

21  And  he  drank  of  the  wine,  'and  was  drunken  ;  and  he 
was  uncovered  within  his  tent. 

22  And  Ham,  the  father  of  Ca'naan,  saw  the  nakedness  of 
his  father,  and  told  his  two  brethren  without. 

23  "And  Shem  and  Ja'pheth  took  a  garment,  and  laid  U 
upon  both  their  shoulders,  and  went  backward,  and  covered 
the  nakedness  of  their  father;  and  their  faces  were  back- 
ward, and  they  saw  not  their  father's  nakedness. 

24  And  No'ah  awoke  from  his  wine,  and  knew  what  his 
younger  son  had  done  unto  him. 

25  And  he  said,  ''Cursed  be  Ca'naan;  'a  servant  of  servants 
shall  he  be  unto  his  brethren. 

26  And  he  said, -^Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Shem;  and 
Ca'naan  shall  be  1|  his  servant. 

27  God  shall  ||  enlarge  Ja'pheth,  "and  he  shall  dwell  in  the 
tents  of  Shem ;  and  Ca'naan  shall  be  his  servant. 

28  ^And  No'ah  lived  after  the  flood  three  hundred  and 
fifty  years. 

29  And  all  the  days  of  No'ah  were  nine  hundred  and  fifty 
years:  and  he  died. 

CHAPTER    X. 

The  generations  of  Noah — Nimrod  the  first  monarch, 

"VTOW  these  are  the  generations  of  the  sons  of  No'ah : 
iA  Shem,  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth :  "and  unto  them  were  sons 
born  after  the  flood. 

2  'The  sons  of  Ja'pheth ;  Go'mer,  and  Ma'gog,  and  Mad'a-i, 
and  Ja'van,  and  Tu'bal,  and  Me'shech,  and  Ti'ras. 

3  And  the  sons  of  Go'mer ;  Ash'ke-naz,  and  Ri'phath,  and 
To-gar'mah. 

4  And  the  sons  of  Ja'van ;  E-li'shah,  and  Tar'shish,  Kit'tim, 
and  ||Do-da'nim. 

5  By  these  were  "^he  isles  of  the  Gen'tiles  divided  in  their 
lands;  every  one  after  his  tongue,  after  their  families,  in 
their  nations. 

6  ^''And  the  sons  of  Ham;  Cush,  and  Miz'ra-im,  and 
Phut  and  Ca'naan. 

7  And  the  sons  of  Cush ;  Se'ba,  and  Hav'i-lah,  and  Sab'tah, 
and  Ra'a-mah,  and  Sab'te-cha :  and  the  sons  of  Ra'a-mah ; 
She'ba,  and  De'dan. 

8  And  Cush  begat  Nim'rod :  he  began  to  be  a  mighty  one 
in  the  earth. 

9  He  was  a  mighty  'hunter  -^before  the  Lord  :  wherefore 
it  is  said.  Even  as  Nim'rod  the  mighty  hunter  before  the 
Lord. 

10  'And  the  beginning  of  his  kingdom  was  fBa'bel,  and 
E'rech,  and  Ac'cad,  and  Cal'neh,  in  the  land  of  Shi'nar. 

11  Out  of  that  land  ||  went  forth  As'shur,  and  builded 
Nin'e-veh,  and  ||  the  city  Re-ho'both,  and  Ca'lah, 

12  And  Re'sen  between  Nin'e-veh  and  Ca'lah :  the  same  i« 
a  great  city. 

13  And  Miz'ra-im  begat  Lu'dim,and  An'a-mim,and  Le'ha- 
bim,  and  Naph'tu-him, 

14  And  Path-ru'sim,  and  Cas-lu'him  (*out  of  whom  came 
Phi-lis'tim,)  and  Caph'to-rim. 

15  ^And  Ca'naan  begat  fSi'don  his  firstborn,  and  Heth, 

16  And  the  Jeb'u-site,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Gi  r'ga-site, 

17  And  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Ark'ite,  and  the  Sin'ite, 

18  And  the  Ar'va-dite,  and  the  Zem'a-rite,  and  the  Ham'- 
ath-ite :  and  afterward  were  the  families  of  the  Ca'naan-ites 
spread  abroad. 

19  'And  the  border  of  the  Ca'naan-ites  was  from  Si 'don,  as 
thou  comest  to  Ge'rar,  unto  fGa'za;  as  thou  goest  unto 
Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  and  Ad'mah,  and  Ze-bo'im,  even 
unto  La'sha. 

20  These  art  the  sons  of  Ham,  afi«r  their  femilies,  aft«r 
their  tongues,  in  their  countries,  and  in  their  nations. 

21  ^Unto  Shem  also,  the  father  of  all   the  children  of 


20     And  No'ah  began  to  be  an  husbandman,  and  planted 

21a  vineyard:  and  he  drank  of  the  wine,  and   was 

drunken ;  and  he   was   uncovered   within   his   tent. 

22  And  Ham,  the  father  of  Ca'naan,  saw  the  naked- 
ness of  his  father,  and  told  his  two  brethren  with- 

23  out.  And  Shem  and  Ja'pheth  took  a  garment,  and 
laid  it  upon  both  their  shoulders,  and  went  back- 
ward, and  covered  the  nakedness  of  their  father; 
and  their  faces  were  backward,  and  they   saw   not 

24  their  father's  nakedness.  And  No'ah  awoke  from 
his   wine,  and  knew  what   his  'youngest  son  had 

25  done  unto  him.     And  he  said, 

Cursed  be  Ca'naan; 
A  servant  of  servants  shall  he  be  unto  his  brethren. 

26  And  he  said, 

.Blessed  be  the  LoED,  the  God  of  Shem; 
And  let  Ca'naan  be  ^his  servant. 

27  God  enlarge  Ja'pheth, 

And  'let  him  dwell  in  the  tents  of  Shem; 
And  let  Ca'naan  be  ^his  servant. 

28  And  No'ah  lived  after  the  flood  three  hundred 

29  and  fifty  years.  And  all  the  days  of  No'ah  were 
nine  hundred  and  fifty  years:  and  he  died. 

iv  Now  these  are  the  generations  of  the  sons  of 
No'ah,  Shem,  Ham,  and  Ja'pheth:  and  unto  them 
were  sons  born  after  the  flood. 

2  The  sons  of  Ja'pheth ;  Go'mer,  and  Ma'gog,  and 
Mad'a-i,  and  Ja'van,  and  Tu'bal,  and  Me'shech,  and 

3 Ti'ras.     And  the  sons  of  Go'mer;  Ash'ke-naz,  and 

4  ^Ri'phath,  and  To-gar'mah.  And  the  sons  of  Ja'van ; 
E-li'shah,  and  Tar'-shish,  Kit'tim,  and  'Do-da'nim 

5  Of  these  were  the  ^isles  of  the  nations  divided  in 
their  lands,  every  one  after  his  tongue;  after  their 
families,  in  their  nations. 

6  And  the  sons  of  Ham ;  Cush,  and  Miz'ra-im,  and 
7 Put,  and  Ca'naan.     And  the  sons  of  Cush;  Se'ba, 

and  Hav'i-lah,  and  Sab'tah,  and  Ra'a-mah,  and  Sab' 
te-ca :  and  the  sons  of  Ra'a-mah ;  She'ba,  and  De'dan. 

8  And  Cush  begat  Nim'rod :  he  began  to  be  a  mighty 

9  one  in  the  earth.  He  was  a  mighty  hunter  before 
the   Lord:  wherefore  it  is  said.  Like  Nim'rod 

10  mighty  hunter  before  the  Lord.  And  the  begin- 
ning of  his  kingdom  was  Ba'bel,  and   E'rech,  and 

11  Ac'cad,  and  Cai'neh,  in  the  land  of  Shi'nar.  Out 
of  that  land  "he  went  forth  into  As-syr'i-a,  and  builded 

1 2  Nin'e-veh,  and  Re-ho'both-Ir,  and  Ca'lah,  and  Re'sen 
between  Nin'e-veh  and  Ca'lah  (the  same  is  the  great 

13 city).     And  Miz'ra-im  begat  Lu'dim,  and  An'a-mim, 

14  and  Le'ha-bim,  and  Naph'tu-him,  and  Path-ru'sim, 
and  Cas-lu'him  (whence  went  forth  *the  Phi-lis'tines), 
and  Caph'to-rim. 

15  And  Ca'naan  begat  Zi'don  his  firstborn, and  Heth; 

16  and  the  Jeb'u-site,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Gir'- 
17ga-shite;  and  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Ark'ite,  and  the 
18 Sin'ite;  and  the  Ar'va-dite,  and  the  Zem'a-rite,  and 

the  Ham'ath-ite:   and   afterward  were  the    families 

19  of  the  Ca'naan-ite  spread  abroad.  And  the  border 
of  the  Ca'naan-it«  was  from  Zi'don,  as  thou  goest 
toward  Ge'rar,  unto  Ga'za ;  as  thou  goest  toward 
Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah  and  Ad'mah  and  Ze-bo'i-im, 

20  unto  La'sha.  These  are  the  sons  of  Ham,  after 
their  families,  after  their  tongues,  in  their  lands,  in 
their  nations.

E'ber,  the  brother  of  Ja'pheth  the  elder,  even  to  him  were 
children  born.

23  And  the  children  of  A'ram ;  Uz,  and  Hul,  and  Ge'ther, 
and  Mash. 

24  And  Ar-phax'ad  begat  f'Sa'lah ;  and  Sa'lah  begat  E'ber. 

25  ""And  unto  E'ber  were  born  two  sons ;  the  name  of  one 
was  II  Pe'leg;  for  in  his  days  was  the  earth  divided ;  and  his 
brother's  name  was  Jok'tan. 

26  And  Jok'tan  begat  Al-mo'dad,  and  She'leph,  and  Ha-zar- 
ma'veth,  and  Je'rah, 

27  And  Ha-do'ram,  and  U'zal,  and  Dik'lah, 

28  And  O'bal,  and  A-bim'a-el,  and  She'ba, 

29  And  O'phir,  and  Hav'i-lah,  and  Jo'bab  :  all  these  were 
the  sons  of  Jok'tan. 

3.0  And  their  dwelling  was  from  Me'sha,  as  thou  •  goest 
qnto  Se'phar,  a  mount  of  the  east. 

31  These  are  the  sons  of  Shem,  after  their  families,  after 
their  tongues,  in  their  lands,  after  their  nations. 

32  "These  are  the  families  of  the  sons  of  No'ah,  after  their 
generations,  in  their  nations :  "and  by  these  were  the  nations 
divided  in  the  earth  after  the  flood. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

Building-  the  tower  of  Babel— The  confusion  of  tongues. 

AND  the  whole    earth  was  of  one  flanguage,  and   of 
one  fspeech. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  journeyed  ||  from  the  east, 
that  they  found  a  plain  in  the  land  of  Shi'nar;  and  they 
dwelt  there. 

3  And  fthey  said  one  to  another.  Go  to,  let  us  make 
brick,  and  fburn  them  thoroughly.  And  they  had  brick 
for  stone,  and  slime  had  they  for  mortar. 

4  And  they  said.  Go  to,  let  us  build  us  a  city,  and  a  tower,' 
"whose  top  may  reach  unto  heaven ;  and  let  us  make  us  a 
name,  lest  we  be  Scattered  abroad  upon  the  face  of  the 
whole  earth. 

5  'And  the  Lord  came  down  to  see  the  city  and  the 
tower,  which  the  children  of  men  builded. 

6  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold,  ''the  people  is  one,  and  they 
have  all  ''one  language  ;  and  this  they  begin  to  do  :  and 
now  nothing  will  be  restrained  from  them,  which  they  have 
'imagined  to  do. 

7  Go  to,  -'^let  us  go  down,  and  there  confound  their  lan- 
guage, that  they  may  "not  understand  one  another's  speech. 

8  So  Hhe  Lord  scattered  them  abroad  from  thence  'upon 
the  face  of  all  the  earth  :  and  they  left  oiF  to  build  the  city. 

9  Therefore  is  the  name  of  it  called  ||  Ba'bel:  ^because  the 
Lord  did  there  confound  the  language  of  all  the  earth  :  and 
from  thence  did  the  Lord  scatter  them  abroad  upon  the 
face  of  all  the  earth. 

10  Tl  'These  are  the  generations  of  Shem  :  Shem  was  a  hun- 
dred years  old,  and  begat  Ar-phax'ad  two  years  after  the  flood : 

11  And  Shem  lived  after  he  begat  Ar-phax'ad  five  hundred 
years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

12  And  Ar-phax'ad  lived  five  and  thirty  years,  ""and  begat 
Sa'lah. 

13  And  Ar-phax'ad  lived  after  he  begat  Sa'lah  four  hundred 
and  three  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

14  And  Sa'lah  lived  thirty  years,  and  begat  E'ber  : 

15  And  Sa'lah  lived  after  he  begat  E'ber  four  hundred  and 
three  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

1 6  "And  E'ber  lived  four  and  thirty  years,  and  begat  "Pe'leg : 

17  And  E'ber  lived  after  he  begat  Pe'leg  four  hundred  and 
thirty  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

18  And  Pe'leg  lived  thirty  years,  and  begat  Re'u  : 

19  And  Pe'leg  lived  after  he  begat  Re'u  two  hundred  and 
nine  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 


E'ber  'the  elder   brother  of  Ja'pheth,  to  him  also 

22 were   children    born.     The    sons  of  Shem;  E'lam,

two  sons:  the  name  of  the  one    was  'Pe'leg;  for  in 
his  days  was  the  earth   divided;  and  his  brother's 

26  name  was  Jok'tan.     And  Jok'tan  begat  Al-mo'dad, 

27  and  She'leph,  and  Ha-zar-ma'veth,  and  Je'rah ;  and 
28 Ha-do'ram,  and  U'zal,  and  Dik'lah;  and  *0'bal,  and 
29  A-bim'a-el, and  She'ba ;  and  0'phir,and  Hav'i-lah,and 
30 Jo'bab:    all  these  were  the  sons  of  Jok'tan.     And 

their    dwelling    was    from    Me'sha,    as    thou  goest 

31  toward  Se'phar,  the  'mountain  of  the  east.  These 
are  the  sons  of  Shem,  after  their  families,  after  their 
tongues,  in  their  lands,  after  their  nations. 

32  These  are  the  families  of  the  sons  of  No'ah,  after 
their  generations,  in  their  nations :  and  of  these 
were  the  nations  divided  in  the  earth  after  the 
flood, 

J-i     And  the  whole  earth  was  of  one  'language  and  of 
2  one   'speech.     And   it  came  to  pass,  as  they  jour- 
neyed *east,  that  they  found  a  plain  in  the  land  of 
3 Shi'nar;  and  they  dwelt  there.     And  they  said  one 
to  another.  Go  to,  let  us  make  brick,  and  burn  them 
throughly.     And    they    had    brick    for    stone,  and 
4 'slime   had   they    for  mortar.     And   they  said.  Go 
to,  let  us  build  us  a  city,  and  a  tower,  whose  top 
may  reach  unto  heaven,  and  let  us  make  us  a  name ; 
lest  we  be  scattered  abroad  upon   the   face  of  the 

5  whole  earth.  And  the  Lord  came  down  to  see  the 
city    and    the    tower,  which    the    children  of   men 

6  builded.  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold,  they  are 
one  people,  and  they  have  all  one  language;  and 
this  is  what  they  begin  io  do  :  and  now  nothing 
will  be  withholden  from  them,  which  they  purpose 

7  to  do.  Go  to,  let  us  go  down,  and  there  confound 
their  language,  that  they  may  not  understand  one 

8  another's  speech.  So  the  Lord  scattered  them 
abroad  from  thence  upon  the  face  of  all  the  earth 

9  and  they  left  off  to  build  the  city.  Therefore  was 
the  name  of  it  called  Ba'bel ;  because  the  Lord  did 
there  '"confound  the  language  of  all  the  earth :  and 
from  thence  did  the  Lord  scatter  them  abroad 
upon  the  face  of  all  the  earth. 

10  These  are  the  generations  of  Shem.  Shem  was 
an  hundred  years   old,  and  begat  Ar-pach'shad  two 

11  years  after  the  flood:  and  Shem  lived  after  he 
begat  Ar-pach'shad  five  hundred  years,  and  begat 
sons  and  daughters. 

12  And  Ar-pach'shad  lived  five  and  thirty  years,  and 

13  begat  She'lah  :  and  Ar-pach'shad  lived  after  he  begat 
She'lah  four  hundred  and  three  years,  and  begat 
sons  and  daughters. 

14  And  She'lah  lived  thirty  years,  and  begat  E'ber: 

15  and  She'lah  lived  after  he  begat  E'ber  four  hundred 
and  three  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

16  And  E'ber  lived  four  and  thirty  years,  and  begat 
17 Pe'leg:  and  E'ber  lived  after  he  begat  Pe'leg  four 

hundred    and    thirty    years,  and    begat    sons    and 
daughters. 

18  And  Pe'leg   lived  thirty  years,  and  begat  Re'u: 

19  and  Pe'leg  lived  after  he  begat  Re'u  two  hundred 
and  nine  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters.

20  And  Re'u  lived  two  and  thirty  years,  and  begat  "Se'rug : 

21  And  Re'u  lived  after  he  begat  Se'rug  two  hundred  and 
seven  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

2'2  And  Se'rug  lived  thirty  years,  and  begat  Na'hor : 

23  And  Se'rug  lived  after  he  begat  Na'hor  two  hundred 
years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

24  And  Na'hor  lived  nine  and  twenty  years,  and  begat 
"Te'rah : 

25  And  Na'hor  lived  after  he  begat  Te'rah  a  hundred  and 
nineteen  years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

26  And  Te'rah  lived  seventy  years,  and  "^begat  A'bram, 
Na'hor,  and  Ha'ran. 

27  ^Now  these  are  the  generations  of  Te'rah :  Te'rah 
begat  A'bram,  Na'hor,  and  Ha'ran ;  and  Ha'ran  begat  Lot. 

28  And  Ha'ran  died  before  his  father  Te'rah  in  the  land  of 
his  nativity,  in  Ur  of  the  Chal'dees. 

29  And  A'bram  and  Na'hor  took  them  wives :  the  name  of 
A'bram's  wife  was  "Sa'rai;  and  the  name  of  Na'hor's  wife, 
'Mil'cah,  the  daughter  of  Ha'ran,  the  father  of  Mil'cah,  and 
the  father  of  Is'cah. 

30  But  "Sa'rai  was  barren ;  she  had  no  child. 

31  And  Te'rah  "took  A'bram  his  son,  and  Lot  the  son  of 
Ha'ran  his  son's  son,  and  Sa'rai  his  daughter  in  law,  his  son 
A'bram's  wife ;  and  they  went  forth  with  them  from  *Ur  of 
the  Chal'dees,  to  go  into  "the  land  of  Ca'naan ;  and  they 
came  unto  Ha'ran,  and  dwelt  there. 

32  And  the  days  of  Te'rah  were  two  hundred  and  five 
years:  and  Te'rah  died  in  Ha'ran. 

CHAPTER   XII. 

God  calteik  Abram,  and  blesseth  him — He  buildeth  an  altar  unto  the  Lord. 

I^OW  the  "LoED  had  said  unto  A'bram,  Get  thee  out  of  thy 
-Ll  country,  and  from  thy  kindred,  and  from  thy  father's 
house,  unto  a  land  that  I  will  shew  thee : 

2  ''And  I  will  make  of  thee  a  great  nation,  "and  I  will  bless 
thee,  and  make  thy  name  great ;  ''and  thou  shalt  be  a  blessing : 

3  'And  I  will  bless  them  that  bless  thee,  and  curse  him 
that  curseth  thee :  -^and  in  thee  shall  all  families  of  the  earth 
be  blessed. 

4  So  A'bram  departed,  as  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto  him ; 
and  Lot  went  with  him :  and  A'bram  was  seventy  and  five 
years  old  when  he  departed  out  of  Ha'ran. 

6  And  A'bram  took  Sa'rai  his  wife,  and  Lot  his  brother's 
son,  and  all  their  substance  that  they  had  gathered,  and 
"the  souls  that  they  had  gotten  ''in  Ha'ran ;  and  they  went 
forth  to  go  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan ;  and  into  the  land  of 
Ca'naan  they  came. 

6  ^And  A'bram  'passed  through  the  land  unto  the  place 
of  Si'chem,  *unto  the  plain  of  Mo  reh.  'And  the  Ca'naan-ite 
was  then  in  the  land. 

7  "And  the  Lobd  appeared  unto  A'bram,  and  said,  "Unto 
thy  seed  will  I  give  this  land :  and  there  builded  he  an 
"altar  unto  the  Lord,  who  appeared  unto  him. 

8  And  he  removed  from  thence  unto  a  mountain  on  the 
east  of  Beth-el,  and  pitched  his  tent,  having  Beth-el  on  the 
west,  and  Ha'i  on  the  east :  and  there  he  builded  an  altar 
unto  the  Lord,  and  "called  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

9  And  A'bram  journeyed,  fgoing  on  still  toward  the  south. 

10  ^And  there  was  ""a  famine  in  the  land :  and  'A'bram 
went  down  into  E'gypt  to  sojourn  there ;  for  the  famine  was 
'grievous  in  the  land. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come  near  to  enter 
into  E'gypt,  that  he  said  unto  Sa'rai  his  wife.  Behold  now,  I 
know  that  thou  art  "a  fair  woman  to  look  upon : 

12  Therefore  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  the  E-gyp'tians 
shall  see  thee,  that  they  shall  say.  This  is  his  wife:  and 
they  "will  kill  me,  but  they  will  save  thee  alive. 

13  'Say,  I  pray  thee,  thou  art  my  sister :  that  it  may  be  well 
with  me  for  thy  sake ;  and  my  soul  shall  live  because  of  thee. 


20  And  Re'u  lived  two  and  thirty  years,  and 

21  Se'rug :  and  Re'u  lived  after  he  begat  Se'rug  two 
hundred  and  seven  years,  and  begat  sons  and 
daughters. 

22  And  Se'rug  lived  thirty  years,  and  begat  Na'hor : 

23  and  Se'rug  lived  after  he  begat  Na'hor  two  hundred 
years,  and  begat  sons  and  daughters. 

24  And   Na'hor   lived   nine   and   twenty   years,  and 

25  begat  Te'rah  :  and  Na'hor  lived  after  he  begat  Te'rah 
an  hundred  and  nineteen  years,  and  begat  sons  and 
daughters. 

26  And  Te'rah  lived  seventy  years,  and  begat  A'bram, 
Na'hor,  and  Ha'ran. 

27  Now  these  are  the  generations  of  Te'rah.  Te'rah 
begat  A'bram,  Na'hor,  and  Ha'ran  ;  and  Ha'ran  begat 

28  Lot.  And  Ha'ran  died  in  the  presence  of  his  father 
•  Te'rah  in  the  laud  of  his  nativity,  in  Ur  of  the  Chal'- 
29 dees.     And  A'bram  and  Na'hor  took  them  wives: 

the  name  of  A'bram's  wife  was  Sa'rai ;  and  the  name 
of  Na'hor's  wife,  Mil'cah,  the  daughter  of  Ha'ran,  the 

30  father  of  Mil'cah,  and  the   father  of   Is'cah.     And 

31  Sa'rai  was  barren ;  she  had  no  child.  And  Te'rah 
took  A'bram  his  son,  and  Lot  the  son  of  Ha'ran,  his 
son's  son,  and  Sa'rai  his  daughter  in  law,  his  son 
A'bram's  wife  ;  and  they  went  forth  with  them  from 
Ur  of  the  Chal'dees,  to  go  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan ; 

32  and  they  came  unto  Ha'ran,  and  dwelt  there.  And 
the  days  of  Te'rah  were  two  hundred  and  five  years : 
and  Te'rah  died  in  Ha'ran. 

4-^  Now  the  Lord  said  unto  A'bram,  Get  thee  out  of 
thy  country,  and  from  thy  kindred,  and  from  thy 
father's  house,  unto  the  land  that  I  will  shew  thee 

2  and  I  will  make  of  thee  a  great  nation,  and  I  will 
bless  thee,  and  make  thy  name  great ;  and  be  thou 

3  a  blessing :  and  I  will  bless  them  that  bless  thee, 
and  him  that  curseth  thee  will  I  curse  ;  and  in  thee 

4  shall  all  the  families  of  the  earth  •  be  blessed.  So 
A'bram  went,  as  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto  him ; 
and  Lot  went  with  him :  and  A'bram  was  seventy 
and  five  years  old  when  he  departed  out  of  Ha'ran. 

6  And  A'bram  took  Sa'rai  his  wife,  and  Lot  his  brother's 
son,  and  all  their  substance  that  they  had  gathered, 
and  the  souls  that  they  had  gotten  in  Ha'ran ;  and 
they  went  forth  to  go  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan ;  and 

6  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan  they  came.  And  A'bram 
passed  through  the  land  unto  the  place  of  She'chem, 
unto  the  'oak  of  Mo'reh.     And  the  Ca'naan-ite  was 

7  then  in  the  land.  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
A'bram,  and  said.  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give  this 
land ;  and  there  builded  he  an  altar  unto  the  Lord, 

8  who  appeared  unto  him.  And  he  removed  from 
thence  unto  the  mountain  on  the  east  of  Beth-el,  and 
pitched  his  tent,  having  Beth-el  on  the  west,  and  A'i 
on  the  east :  and  there  he  builded  an  altar  unto  tlie 

9  Lord,  and  called  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord.  And 
A'bram  journeyed,  going  on  still  toward  the  ^South 

]  0  And  there  was  a  famine  in  the  land :  and  A'bram 
went  down   into  E'gypt  to  sojourn   there;    for  the 

1 1  famine  was  sore  in  the  land.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  he  was  come  near  to  enter  into  E'gypt,  that  he 
said  unto  Sa'rai  his  wife.  Behold  now,  I  know  that 

12  thou  art  a  fair  woman  to  look  upon  :  and  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  the  E-gyp'tians  shall  see  thee, 
that  they  shall  say,  This  is  his  wife :  and  they  will 

13  kill  me,  but  they  will  save  thee  alive.  Say,  I  pray  thee, 
thou  art  my  sister :  that  it  may  be  well  with  me  for 
thy  sake,  and  that  my  soul  may  live  because  of  thee.

14  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  A'bram  was  come  into 
E'gypt,  the  E-gyp'tians  "beheld  the  woman  that  she  was 
very  fair. 

15  The  princes  also  of  Pha'raoh  saw  her,  and  commended 
her  before  Pha'raoh :  and  the  woman  was  'taken  into 
Pha'raoh's  house. 

16  And  he  "entreated  A'bram  well  for  her  sake  :  and  he 
had  sheep,  and  oxen,  and  he-asses,  and  menservants,  and 
maidservants,  and  she-asses,  and  camels. 

17  And  the  Lord  ''plagued  Pha'raoh  and  his  house  with 
great  plagues,  because  of  Sa'rai,  A'bram's  Avife. 

18  And  Pha'raoh  called  A'bram,  and  said,  '^What  is  this 
that  thou  hast  done  unto  me  ?  why  didst  thou  not  tell  me 
that  she  was  thy  wife? 

19  Why  saidst  thou.  She  is  my  sister?  so  I  might  have 
taken  her  to  me  to  wife :  now  therefore  behold  thy  wife, 
take  her,  and  go  thy  way. 

20  ''And  Pha'raoh  commanded  his  men  concerning  him  : 
and  they  sent  him  away,  and  his  wife,  and  all  that  he  had. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

Abram  and  Lot  return  out  of  Egypt — God  reneweth  the  promise  to  Abram. 

AND  A'bram  went  up  out  of  E'gypt,  he,  and  his  wife,  and 
all  that  he  had,  and  Lot  with  him,  "into  the  south. 

2  ''And  A'bram  was  very  rich  in  cattle,  in  silver,  and  in  gold. 

3  And  he  went  on  his  journeys  "from  the  south  even  to 
Beth-el,  unto  the  place  where  his  tent  had  been  at  the  be- 
ginning, between  Beth-el  and  Ha'i ; 

4  Unto  the  ''place  of  the  altar,  which  he  had  made  there 
at  the  first :  and  there  A'bram  'called  on  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

5  ^And  Lot  also,  which  went  with  A'bram,  had  flocks, 
and  herds,  and  tents. 

6  And  Ahe  land  was  not  able  to  bear  them,  that  they 
might  dwell  together :  for  their  substance  was  great,  so  that 
they  could  not  dwell  together. 

7  And  there  was  'a  strife  between  the  herdmen  of  A'bram's 
cattle  and  the  herdmen  of  Lot's  cattle  :  'and  the  Ca'naan-ite 
and  the  Per'iz-zite  dwelt  then  in  the  land. 

8  And  A'bram  said  unto  Lot,  'Let  there  be  no  strife,  I 
pray  thee,  between  me  and  thee,  and  between  my  herdmen 
and  thy  herdmen  ;  for  we  he  fbrethren. 

9  *Js  not  the  whole  land  before  thee  ?  Separate  thyself,  I 
pray  thee,  from  me :  'if  thou  wilt  take  the  left  hand,  then  I 
will  go  to  the  right ;  or  if  thou  depart  to  the  right  hand, 
then  I  will  go  to  the  left. 

10  And  Lot  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  beheld  all  ""the  plain  of 
Jor'dan,  that  it  was  well  watered  every  where,  before  the 
Lord  "destroyed  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  "even  as  the  garden 
of  the  Lord,  like  the  land  of  E'gypt,  as  thou  comest  unto  "Zo'ar. 

11  Then  Lot  chose  him  all  the  plain  of  Jor'dan  ;  and  Lot 
journeyed  east:  and  they  separated  themselves  the  one 
from  the  other. 

12  A'bram  dwelt  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and  Lot  "dwelt 
in  the  cities  of  the  plain,  and ''pitched  his  tent  toward  Sod'om. 

13  But  the  men  of  Sod'om  'were  wicked,  and  'sinners  be- 
fore the  Lord  exceedingly. 

14  "lyAnd  the  Lord  said  unto  A'bram,  after  that  Lot  "was 
separated  from  him.  Lift  up  now  thine  eyes,  and  look  from 
the  place  where  thou  art  ""northward,  and  southward,  and 
eastward,  and  westward : 

15  For  all  the  land  which  thou  seest,  *to  thee  will  I  give 
it,  and  "to  thy  seed  for  ever. 

16  And  '1  will  make  thy  seed  as  the  dust  of  the  earth  :  so 
that  if  a  man  can  number  the  dust  of  the  earth,  then  shall 
thy  seed  also  be  numbered. 

17  Arise,  walk  through  the  land  in  the  length  of  it  and 
in  the  breadth  of  it ;  for  I  will  give  it  unto  thee. 

18  Then  A'bram  removed  his  tent,  and  came  and  "dwelt  in 
the  tplain  of  Mam're,  Svhich  is  in  He'bron,  and  built  there 
an  altar  unto  the  Lord. 


14  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  A'bram  was  come 
into    E'gypt,  the    E-gyp'tians    beheld    the    woman 

15  that  she  was  very  fair.     And  the  princes  of  Pha 
raoh    saw  her,  and  praised    her   to    Pha'raoh:    and 

16  the  woman  was  taken  into  Pha'raoh's  house.  And 
he  entreated  A'bram  well  for  her  sake :  and  he  had 
sheep,  and  oxen,  and  he-asses,  and  menservants,  and 

17  maidservants,  and  she-asses,  and  camels.  And  the 
Lord  plagued  Pha'raoh  and  his  house  with   great 

18  plagues  because  of  Sa'rai  A'bram's  wife.     And  Pha 
raoh  called  A'bram,  and  said.  What  is  this  that  thou 
hast  done  unto  me?  why  didst  thou  not  tell  me  that 

19 she  was  thy  wife?  Why  saidst  thou.  She  is  my 
sister?  so  that  I  took  her  to  be  my  wife':  now  there- 
fore behold  thy  wife,  take   her,  and   go   thy    way 

20  And  Pha'raoh  gave  men  charge  concerning  him  :  and 
they  brought  him  on  the  way,  and  his  wife,  and  all 
that  he  had. 

+^  And  A'bram  went  up  out  of  E'gypt,  he,  and  his 
wife,  and  all  that  he  had,  and  Lot  with  him,  into  the 

2  South.     And  A'bram   was    very    rich    in    cattle 

3  silver,  and  in  gold.  And  he  went  on  his  journeys 
from  the  South  even  to  Beth-el,  unto  the  place  where 
his  tent  had  been  at  the  beginning,  between  Beth-el 

4  and  A'i;  unto  the  place  of  the  altar,  which  he  had 
made  there  at  the  first:  and  there  A'bram  called  on 

5  the  name  of  the  Lord.     And  Lot  also,  which  went 

6  with  A'bram,  had  flocks,  and  herds,  and  tents.  And 
the  laud  was  not  able  to  bear  them,  that  they  might 
dwell  together:  for  their  substauce  was  great,  so  that 

7they  could  not  dwell  together.  And  there  was  a 
strife  between  the  herdmen  of  A'bram's  cattle  and  the 
herdmen  of  Lot's  cattle :  and  the  Ca'naan-ite  and  the 

8  Per'iz-zite  dwelled  then  in  the  land.  And  A'bram  said 
unto  Lot,  Let  there  be  no  strife,  I  pray  thee,  between 
me  and    thee,  and    between    my  herdmen   and    thy 

9  herdmen ;  for  we  are  brethren.  Is  not  the  whole 
land  before  thee?  separate  thyself,  I  pray  thee,  from 
me :  if  thou  wilt  take  the  left  hand,  then  I  will  go  to 
the  right ;  or  if  thou  take  the  right  hand,  then  I  will 

10  go  to  the  left.  And  Lot  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
beheld  all  the  'Plain  of  Jor'dan,  that  it  was  well 
watered  every  where,  before  the  Lord  destroyed 
Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  like  the  garden  of  the  Lord, 
like  the  land  of  E'gypt,  as  thou  goest  unto  Zo'ar, 

11  So  Lot  cho.se  him  all  the  Plain  of  Jor'dan ;  and  Lot 
journeyed  east:    and  they  separated  themselves  the 

12  one  from  the  other.  A'bram  dwelled  in  the  land  of 
Ca'naan,  and  Lot  dwelled  in  the  cities  of  the  Plain, 

13  and  moved  his  tent  as  far  as  Sod'om.  Now  the  men 
of  Sod'om  were  wicked  and  sinners  against  the  Lord 

14  exceedingly.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  A'bram,  after 
that  Lot  was  separated  from  him.  Lift  up  now  thine 
eyes,  and  look  from  the  place  where  thou  art,  north- 
ward and  southward  and  eastward  and   we-stward: 

15  for  all  the  land  which  thou  seest,  to  thee  will  I  give 

16  it,  and  to  thy  seed  for  ever.  And  I  will  make  thy 
seed  as  the  dust  of  the  earth :  so  that  if  a  man  can 
number  the  dust  of  the  earth,  then  shall  thy  seed 

17  also  be  numbered.  Arise,  walk  through  the  land  in 
the  length  of  it  and  in  the  breadth  of  it;  for  unto 

18  thee  will  I  give  it.  And  A'bram  moved  his  tent,  and 
came  and  dwelt  by  the  ''oaks  of  Mam're,  which  are 
in  He'bron,  and  built  there  an  altar  unto  the  Lord.

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Baiite  of  the  kingi — Lot  is  taken  prisoner — Melchizedek  bUsseih  Abram, 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  Am'ra-phel  king  "of 
Shi'nar,  A'ri-och  king  of  El'la-sar,  Ched-or-la'o-mer 
king  of  'E'lam,  and  Ti'dal  king  of  nations ; 

2  That  these  made  war  with  Be'ra  king  of  Sod'om,  and  with 
Bir'sha  king  of  Go-mor'rah,Shi'nab  king  of '^Ad'mah,and  Shem'- 
e-ber  king  of  Ze-bo'i-im,  and  the  king  of  Be'la,  which  is  ''Zo'ar. 

3  All  these  were  joined  together  in  the  vale  of  Sid'dim, 
'which  is  the  salt  sea. 

4  Twelve  years  -^they  served  Ched-or-la'o-mer,  and  in  the 
thirteenth  year  they  rebelled.  , 

6  And  in  the  fourteenth  year  came  Ched-or-la'o-mer,  and 
the  kings  that  were  with  him,  and  smote  "the  Reph'a-im  ''in 
Ash'te-roth  Kar'na-im,  and  'the  Zu'zim  in  Ham,  *and  the 
E'mim    in  IJSha'veh  Kir-i-a-tha'im, 

6  'And  the  Ho'rites  in  their  mount  Se'ir,  unto  ||  El-pa'ran, 
which  is  by  the  wilderness. 

7  And  they  returned,  and  came  to  En-mish'pat,  which  is 
Ka'desh,  and  smote  all  the  country  of  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  and 
also  the  Am'o-rites,  that  dwelt  ""in  Haz'e-zon-ta'mar. 

8  And  there  went  out  the  king  of  Sod'om,  and  the  king  of 
Go-mor'rah,  and  the  king  of  Ad'mah,  and  the  king  of  Ze-bo'i- 
im,  and  the  king  of  Be'la,  (the  same  is  Zo'ar ;)  and  they  joined 
battle  with  them  in  the  vale  of  Sid'dim ; 

9  With  Ched-or-la'o-mer  the  king  of  E'lam,  and  with  Ti'dal 
king  of  nations,  and  Am'ra-phel  king  of  Shi'nar,  and  A'ri-och 
king  of  El'la-sar ;  four  kings  with  five. 

10  And  the  vale  of  Sid'dim  was  full  q/"  "slime  pits;  and  the 
kings  of  Sod'om  and , Go-mor'rah  fled,  and  fell  there ;  and 
they  that  remained  fled  °to  the  mountain. 

1 1  And  they  took  "all  the  goods  of  Sod'om  and  Go-n»r'rah, 
and  all  their  victuals,  and  went  their  way. 

12  And  they  took  Lot,  A'bram's  'brother's  son,  'who  dwelt 
in  Sod'om,  and  his  goods,  and  departed. 

13  ^And  there  came  one  that  had  escaped,  and  told  A'bram 
the  He'brew ;  for  'he  dwelt  in  the  plain  of  Mam're  the  Am'o- 
rite,  brother  of  Esh'col,  and  brother  of  A'ner :  'and  these  were 
confederate  with  A'bram. 

14  And  when  A'bram  heard  that  "his  brother  was  taken  cap- 
tive, he  II  armed  his  ||  trained  servants,  "born  in  his  own  house, 
three  hundred  and  eighteen,  and  pursued  them  ^unto  Dan. 

15  And  he  divided  himself  against  them,  he  and  his  serv- 
ants, by  night,  and  "smote  them,  and  pursued  them  unto 
Ho'bah,  which  is  on  the  left  hand  of  Da-mas'cus. 

16  And  he  brought  back  'all  the  goods,  and  also  brought 
again  his  brother  Lot,  and  his  goods,  and  the  women  also, 
and  the  people. 

17  TJAnd  the  king  of  Sod'om  "went  out  to  meet  him,  ''(after 
his  return  from  the  slaughter  of  Ched-or-la'o-mer,  and  of  the 
kings  that  were  with  him,)  at  the  valley  of  Sha'veh,  which  is 
the  ""king's  dale. 

18  And  ''Mel-chiz'e-dek  king  of  Sa'lem  brought  forth  bread 
and  wine:  and  he  was  'the  priest  of-'^the  most  high  God. 

19  And  he  blessed  him,  and  said.  Blessed  be  A'bram  of 
the  most  high  God,  "possessor  of  heaven  and  earth : 

20  And  '"blessed  be  the  most  high  God,  which  hath  delivered 
thine  enemies  into  thy  hand.    And  he  gave  him  tithes  'of  all. 

21  And  the  king  of  Sod'om  said  unto  A'bram,  Give  me  the 
tpersons,  and  take  the  goods  to  thyself. 

22  And  A'bram  said  to  the  king  of  Sod'om,  I  *have  lifted 
up  mine  hand  unto  the  Lord,  the  most  high  God,  'the  pos- 
sessor of  heaven  and  earth, 

23  That  "I  will  not  take  from  a  thread  even  to  a  shoe- 
latchet,  and  that  I  will  not  take  any  thing  that  is  thine,  lest 
thou  shouldest  say,  I  have  made  A'bram  rich : 

24  Save  only  that  which  the  young  men  have  eaten,  and 
the  portion  of  the  men  "which  went  with  me,  A'ner,  Esh'col, 
and  Mam're ;  let  them  take  their  portion. 


\-^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  Am'ra-phel 
king  of  Shi'nar,  A'ri-och  king  of  El'la-sar,  Ched-or- 
la'o-mer  king  of  E'lam,  and  Ti'dal  king  of  'Go'i-im, 

2  that  they  made  war  with  Be'ra  king  of  Sod'om,  and 
with  Bir'sha  king  of  Go-mor'rah,  Shi'nab  king  of 
Ad'mah,  and  Shem'e-ber  king  of  Ze-bo'i-im,  and  the 

3  king  of  Be'la  (the  same  is  Zo'ar).  All  these  ^joined 
together  in  the  vale  of  Sid'dim  (the  same  is  the  Salt 

4 Sea).     Twelve  years  they  served  Ched-or-la'o-mer, 

5  and  in  the  thirteenth  year  they  rebelled.  And  in 
the  fourteenth  year  came  Ched-or-la'o-mer,  and  the 
kings  that  were  with  him,  and  smote  the  Eeph'a-im 
in  Ash'te-roth-kar'na-im,  and  the  Zu'zim  in  Ham,  and 

6  the  E'mim  in  'Sha'veh-kir-i-a-tha'im,  and  the  Ho'rites 
in  their  mount  Se'ir,  unto  El-pa'ran,  which  is  by  the 

7  wilderness.  And  they  returned,  and  came  to  En- 
mish'pat  (the  same  is  Ka'desh),  and  smote  all  the 
^country  of  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  and  also  the  Am'o-rites, 

8  that  dwelt  in  Haz'a-zon-ta'mar.  And  there  went  out 
the  king  of  Sod'om,  and  the  king  of  Go-mor'rah,  and 
the  king  of  Ad'mah,  and  the  king  of  Ze-bo'i-im,  and 
the  king  of  Be'la  (the  same  is  Zo'ar) ;  and  th^y  set 
the  battle  in  array  against  them  in  the  vale  of  Sid'- 

9  dim ;  against  Ched-or-la'o-mer  king  of  E'lam,  and 
Ti'dal  king  of  Go'i-im,  and  Am'ra-phel  king  of  Shi'- 
nar, and  A'ri-och  king  of  El'la-sar ;  four  kings  against 

10  the  five.  Now  the  vale  of  Sid'dim  was  full  ol  '^slime 
pits ;  and  the  kings  of  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah  fled, 
and  they  fell  there,  and  they  that  remained  fled  to 

11  the  mountain.  And  they  took  all  the  goods  of 
Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  and  all  their  victuals,  and 

12  went  their  way.  And  they  took  Lot,  A'bram's 
brother's  son,  who  dwelt  in  Sod'om,  and  his  goods, 

13  and  departed.  And  there  came  one  that  had 
escaped,  and  told  A'bram  the  He'brew :  now  he 
dwelt  by  the  ^oaks  of  Mam're  the  Am'o-rite,  brother 
of  Esh'col,  and  brother  of  A'ner ;  and  these  were 

14  confederate  with  A'bram.  And  when  A'bram  heard 
that  his  brother  was  taken  captive,  he  led  forth  his 
trained  men,  born  in  his  house,  three  hundred  and 

15  eighteen,  and  pursued  as  far  as  Dan.  And  he 
divided  himself  against  them  by  night,  he  and  his 
servants,  and  smote  them,  and  pursued  them  unto 
Ho'bah,  which  is  on  the  Heft  hand  of  Da-mas'cus. 

16  And  he  brought  back  all  the  goods,  and  also 
brought  again  his  brother  Lot,  and   his  goodis,  and 

17  the  women  also,  and  the  people.  And  the  king  of 
Sod'om  went  out  to  meet  him,  after  his  return  from 
the  slaughter  of  Ched-or-la'o-mer  and  the  kings  that 
were  with  him,  at  the  vale  of  Sha'veh  (the  .same  is 

18the  King's  Vale).  And  Mel-chiz'e-dek  kingof  Sa'lem 
brought  forth  bread  and  wine :  and  he  was  priest 

19  of  *God  Most  High.  And  he  blessed  him,  and 
said.  Blessed  be  A'oram  of  *God  Most  High,  'pos- 

20  sessor  of  heaven  and  earth :  and  blessed  be  *God 
Most  High,  which  hath  delivered  thine  enemies 
into  thy  hand.     And  he  gave  him  a  tenth  of  all. 

21  And  the  king  of  Sod'om  said  unto  A'bram,  Give  me 

22  the  persons,  and  take  the  goods  to  thyself  And 
A'bram  said  to  the  king  of  Sod'om,  I  have  lift  up 
mine  hand  unto  the  Lord,  *God  Most  High,  'pos- 

23  sessor  of  heaven  and  earth,  that  I  will  not  take  a 
thread  nor  a  shoelatchet  nor  aught  that  is  thine, 
lest  thou  shouldest  say,  I  have  made  A'bram  rich : 

24  '"save  only  that  which  the  young  men  have  eaten,  and 
the  portion  of  the  men  which  went  with  me  ;  A'ner, 
Esh  col,  and  Mam're,  let  them  take  their  portion.

CHAPTER  XV. 

A^ram  justified  by  faith— Canaan  promised,  and  confirmed  by  a  vision. 

AFTER  these  things  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
A'bram  "in  a  vision,  saying,  ""Fear  not,  A'bram :  I  am 
thy  "^shield,  and  thy  exceeding  ''great  reward. 

2  And  A'bram  said,  Lord  God,  what  wilt  thou  give  me, 
'seeing  I  go  childless,  and  the  steward  of  my  house  is  this 
E'li-e'zer  of  Da-mas'cus  ? 

3  And  A'bram  said.  Behold,  to  me  thou  hast  given  no 
seed:  and,  lo,  ■'^one  born  in  my  house  is  mine  heir. 

4  And  behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  him,  say- 
ing, This  shall  not  be  thine  heir ;  but  he  that  "shall  come 
forth  out  of  thine  own  bowels  shall  be  thine  heir. 

5  And  he  brought  him  forth  abroad,  and  said.  Look  now 
toward  heaven,  and  *tell  the  'stars,  if  thou  be  able  to  num- 
ber them :  and  he  said  unto  him,  *So  shall  thy  seed  be. 

6  And  he  'believed  in  the  Lord;  and  he  "'counted  it  to 
him  for  righteousness. 

7  And  he  said  unto  him,  I  am  the  Lord  that  "brought  thee 
out  of  "Ur  of  the  Chal'dees,  "to  give  thee  this  land  to  inherit  it. 

8  And  he  said.  Lord  God,  "whereby  shall  I  know  that  I 
shall  inherit  if? 

9  And  he  said  unto  him.  Take  me  a  heifer  of  three  years 
old,  and  a  she-goat  of  three  years  old,  and  a  ram  of  three 
years  old,  and  a  turtledove,  and  a  young  pigeon. 

10  And  he  took  unto  him  all  the.se,  and  ''divided  them  in 
the  midst,  and  laid  each  piece  one  against  another :  but  "the 
birds  divided  he  not.  ^ 

11  And  when  the  fowls  came  down  upon  the  carcasses, 
A'bram  drove  them  away. 

12  And  when  the  sun  was  going  down,  'a  deep  sleep  fell 
upon  A'bram ;  and,  lo,  a  horror  of  great  darkness  fell  upon  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  A'bram,  Know  of  a  surety  "that  thy 
seed  shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land  that  is  not  theirs,  and  shall 
serve  them ;  and  '"they  shall  afflict  them  four  hundred  years ; 

14  And  also  that  nation,whom  they  .shall  serve,  ""will  I  judge : 
and  afterward  "shall  they  come  out  with  great  substance. 

15  And  'thou  shalt  go  "to  thy  fathers  in  peace;  Hhou  shalt 
be  buried  in  a  good  old  age. 

16  But  "in  the  fourth  generation  they  shall  come  hither 
again :  for  the  iniquity  ''of  the  Am'o-rites  Hs  not  yet  full. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  the  sun  went  down, 
and  it  was  dark,  behold  a  smoking  furnace^  and  fa  burning 
lamp  that  -^passed  between  those  pieces. 

18  In  that  same  day  the  Lord  "made  a  covenant  with  A'bram, 
saying,  ''Unto  thy  seed  have  I  given  this  land,  from  the  river 
of  E'gypt  unto  the  great  river,  the  river  Eu-phra'tes : 

19  The  Ken'ites,  and  the  Ken'iz-zites,  and  the  Kad'mon-ites, 

20  And  the  Hit'tites,aud  the  Per'iz-zites,  andtheReph'a-im, 

21  And  the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Gir'ga- 
shites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites. 

CHAPTER    XVI. 

Sarai  being  barren  giveih  Hagar  to  Abram — Ishmael  is  born. 

NOW  Sa'rai,  A'bram's  wife,  "bare  him  no  children :  and  she 
had  a  handmaid,  an  ""E-gyp'tian,  whose  name  was  "Ha' gar. 

2  ''And  Sa'rai  said  unto  A'bram,  Behold  now,  the  Lord 
•■hath  restrained  me  from  bearing :  I  pray  ■'^thee,  go  in  unto 
my  maid;  it  may  be  that  I  may  fobtain  children  by  her. 
And  A'bram  "hearkened  to  the  voice  of  Sa'rai. 

3  And  Sa'rai,  A'bram's  wife,  took  Ha'gar  her  maid  the 
E-gyp'tian,  after  A'bram  ''had  dwelt  ten  years  in  the  land  of 
Ca'naan,  and  gave  her  to  her  husband  A'bram  to  be  his  wife. 

4  ^And  he  went  in  unto  Ha'gar,  and  she  conceived :  and 
when  she  saw  that  she  had  conceived,  her  mistress  was'  de- 
spised in  her  eyes. 

5  And  Sa'rai  said  unto  A'bram,  My  wrong  6e  upon  thee:  I 
have  given  my  maid  into  thy  bosom ;  and  when  she  saw  that 
she  had  conceived,  I  was  despised  in  her  eyes:  *the  Lord 
Ijudge  between  me  and  thee. 


4-0  After  these  things  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  A'bram  in  a  vision,  saying.  Fear  not,  A'bram : 
I  am  thy  shield,  'and  thy  exceeding  great  reward. 

2  And  A'bram  said,  O  Lord  ^GoD,  what  wilt  thou 
give  me,  seeing  I  'go  childless,  and  he  that  shall 
be  possessor  of  my  house  is  ^Dam'me-sek  E'li-e'zer  ? 

3  And  A'bram  said.  Behold,  to  me  thou  hast  given  no 
seed:  and,  lo,  one  born  in  my  house  is  mine   heir. 

4  And,  behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  him, 
saying.  This  man  shall  not  be  thine  heir;  but  he 
that  shall  come  forth  out  of  thine  own  bowels  shall 

5  be  thine  heir.  And  he  brought  him  forth  abroad, 
and  said.  Look  now  toward  heaven,  and  tell  the 
stars,  if  thou  be  able  to  tell  them :  and  he  said  unto 

6  him.  So  shall  thy  seed  be.  And  he  believed  in  the 
Lord  ;  and  he  counted  it  to  him  for  righteousness. 

7  And  he  said  unto  him,  I  am  the  Lord  that  brought 
thee  out  of  Ur  of  the  Chal'dees,  to  give  thee  this 

8  land    to    inherit   it.     And    he   said,   O   Lord   GoD, 
9 whereby  shall  I  know  that  I  shall  inherit  it?     And 

he  said  unto  him.  Take  me  an  heifer  of  three  years 
old,  and  a  she-goat  of  three  years  old,  and  a  ram  of 
three    years    old,  and    a    turtledove,  and    a   young 

10  pigeon.  And  he  took  him  all  these,  and  divided 
them  in  the  midst,  and  laid  each   half  over   against 

lithe  other:  but  the  birds  divided  he  not.  And  the 
birds  of  prey  came  down  upon  the  carcases,  and 

12  A'bram  drove  them  away.  And  when  the  sun  was 
going  down,  a  deep  sleep  fell  upon  A'bram ;  and,  lo 

13  an  horror  of  great  darkness  fell  upon  him.  And  he 
said  unto  A'bram,  Know  of  a  surety  that  thy  seed 
shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land  that  is  not  theirs,  and 
shall  serve  them;  and  they   shall  afflict  them   four 

14 hundred  years;  and  also  that  nation,  whom  they 
shall  serve,  will  I  judge:  and  afterward   shall   they 

15  come  out  with  great  substance.  But  thou  shalt  go 
to  thy  fathers  in  peace;  thou  shalt  be  buried  in  a 

16  good  old  age.  And  in  the  fourth  generation  they 
shall   come   hither   again:    for  the   iniquity   of  the 

17  Am'o-rite  is  not  yet  full.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  the  sun  went  down,  and  it  was  dark,  behold  a 
smoking  furnace,  and  a  flaming  torch   that  passed 

18  between  these  pieces.  In  that  day  the  Lord  made 
a  covenant  with  A'bram,  saying.  Unto  thy  seed  have 
I  given  this  land,  from  the  river  of  E'gypt  unto  the 

19  great  river,  the  river  Eu-phra'tes :  the  Ken'ite,  and 

20  the  Ken'iz-zite,  and  the  Kad'mon-ite,  and  the  Hit'tite, 

21  and  the  Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Reph'a-im,  and  the  Am'o- 
rite,  and  the  Ca'naan-ite,  and  the  Gir'ga-shite,  and  the 
Jeb'u-site. 

iO  Now  Sa'rai  A'bram's  wife  bare  him  no  children : 
and  she  had  an  handmaid,  an  E-gyp'tian,  whose  name 

2  was  Ha'gar.  And  Sa'rai  said  unto  A'bram,  Behold 
now,  the  Lord  hath  restrained  me  from  bearing ;  go 
in,  I  pray  thee,  unto  my  handmaid ;  it  may  be  that 
I  shall  ^obtain  children  by  her.     And  A'bram  heark- 

3  ened  to  the  voice  of  Sa'rai.  And  Sa'rai  A'bram's  wife 
took  Ha'gar  the  Egyptian,  her  handmaid,  after  A'bram 
had  dwelt  ten  years  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and  gave 

4  her  to  A'bram  her  husband  to  be  his  wife.  And  he 
went  in  unto  Ha'gar,  and  she  conceived :  and  when  she 
saw  that  she  had  conceived,  her  mistress  was  despised 

5  in  her  eyes.  And  Sa'rai  said  unto  A'bram,  My  wrong 
be  upon  thee :  I  gave  my  handmaid  into  thy  bosom ; 
and  when  she  saw  that  she  had  conceived,  I  was  de- 
spised in  her  eyes:  the  Lord  judge  between  me 
and  thee.

6  *But  A'bram  said  unto  Sa'rai,  "Behold,  thy  maid  is  in  thy 
hand;  do  to  her  fas  it  pleaseth  thee.  And  when  Sa'rai 
fdealt  hardly  with  her,  "she  fled  from  her  face. 

7  ^And  the  angel  of  the  Loed  found  her  by  a  fountain  of 
water  in  the  wilderness,  "by  the  fountain  in  the  way  to  ""Shur. 

8  And  he  said,  Ha'gar,  Sa'rai's  maid,  whence  camest  thou  ? 
and  whither  wilt  thou  go  ?  And  she  said,  I  flee  from  the 
face  of  my  mistress  Sa'rai. 

9  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  her,  Return  to  thy 
mistress,  and  'submit  thyself  under  her  hands. 

10  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  her,  'I  will  multi- 
ply thy  seed  exceedingly,  that  it  shall  not  be  numbered  for 
multitude. 

11  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  her.  Behold,  thou 
art  with  child,  and  shalt  bear  a  son,  'and  shalt  call  his  name 
||Ish'm.a-el;  because  the  Lord  hath  heard  thy  aflliction. 

12  'And  he  will  be  a  wild  man;  his  hand  will  be  against 
every  man,  and  every  man's  hand  against  him :  "and  he 
shall  dwell  in  the  presence  of  all  his  brethren. 

13  And  she  called  the  name  of  the  Lord  that  spake  unto 
her.  Thou  God  seest  me:  for  she  said,  Have  I  also  here 
looked  after  him  ^that  seeth  me? 

14  Wherefore  the  well  was  called  "H  Be'er-la-hai'-roi ;  behold, 
it  is  "between  Ka'desh  and  Be'red. 

15  ^And  "Ha'gar  bare  A'bram  a  son :  and  A'bram  called 
his  son's  name,  which  Ha'gar  bare,  ''Ish'ma-el. 

16  And  A'bram  was  fourscore  and  six  years  old,  when 
Ha'gar  bare  Ish'ma-el  to  A'bram. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

God  reneweth  his  covenant — Circumcision  instituted — Isaac  is  promised. 

AND  when  A'bram  was  ninety  years  old  and  nine,  the 
Lord  "appeared  to  A'bram,  and  said  unto  him,  ''I  am  the 
Almighty  God;  "walk  before  me,  and  be  thou  || ''perfect. 

2  And  I  will  make  my  covenant  between  me  and  thee, 
and  'will  multiply  thee  exceedingly. 

3  And  A'bram  -^fell  on  his  face :  and  God  talked  with  him, 
saying, 

4  As  for  me,  behold,  my  covenant  is  with  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  be  "a  father  of  fmany  nations. 

5  Neither  shall  thy  name  any  more  be  called  A'bram,  but 
''thy  name  shall  be  ||  A'bra-ham ;  'for  a  father  of  many  nations 
have  I  made  thee. 

6  And  I  will  make  thee  exceeding  fruitful,  and  I  will  make 
^nations  of  thee,  and  'kings  shall  come  out  of  thee. 

7  And  I  will  ""establish  my  covenant  between  me  and  thee 
and  thy  seed  after  thee  in  their  generations,  for  an  everlasting 
covenant :  "to  be  a  God  unto  thee,  and  to  "thy  seed  after  thee. 

8  And  "I  will  give  unto  thee,  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee, 
the  land  f'wherein  thou  art  a  stranger,  all  the  land  of  Ca'- 
naan,  for  an  everlasting  possession ;  and  'I  will  be  their  God. 

9  ^And  God  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  Thou  shalt  keep  my 
covenant  therefore,  thou,  and  thy  seed  after  thee  in  their 
generations. 

10  This  is  my  covenant,  which  ye  shall  keep,  between  me 
and  you  and  thy  seed  after  thee ;  'Every  man  child  among 
you  shall  be  circumcised. 

11  And  ye  shall  circumcise  the  flesh  of  your  foreskin ;  and 
it  shall  be  'a  token  of  the  covenant  betwixt  me  and  you. 

12  And  fhe  that  is  eight  days  old  "shall  be  circumcised 
among  you,  every  man  child  in  your  generation.s,  he  that  is 
born  in  the  house,  or  bought  with  money  of  any  stranger, 
which  is  not  of  thy  seed. 

13  He  that  is  born  in  thy  house,  and  he  that  is  bought 
with  thy  money,  must  needs  be  circumcised :  and  my  cov- 
enant shall  be  in  your  flesh  for  an  everlasting  covenant. 

14  And  the  uncircumci.sed  man  child  whose  flesh  of  his 
foreskin  is  not  circumcised,  that  soul  "".shall  be  cut  off"  from 
his  people;  he  hath  broken  my  covenant. 


6  But  A'bram  said  unto  Sa'rai,  Behold  thy  maid  is  in 
thy  hand ;  do  to  her  that  which  is  good  in  thine  eyes. 
And  Sa'rai  dealt  hardly  with  her,  and  she  fled  from 

7  her  face.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  found  her  by  a 
fountain  of  water  in  the  wilderness,  by  tjie  fountain  in 

8  the  way  to  Shur.  And  he  said,  Ha'gar,  Sa'rai's  hand- 
maid, whence  camest  thou  ?  and  whither  goest  thou  ? 
And  she  said,  I  flee  from  the  face  of  my  mistress  Sa'rai. 

9  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  her,  Eeturn  to 
thy   mistress,  and  submit  thyself  under  her  hands. 

10  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  her,  I  will 
greatly  multiply  thy  seed,  that  it  shall  not  be  num- 

llbered  for  multitude.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  her,  Behold,  thou  art  with  child,  and  shalt 
bear  a  son ;  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name  'Ish'ma-el, 

12  because  the  Lord  hath  heard  thy  affliction.  And 
he  shall  be  as  a  wild-ass  among  men ;  his  hand  shall 
be  against  every  man,  and  every  man's  hand  against 
him ;  and  he  shall  dwell  'in  the  presence  of  all  his 

13  brethren.  And  she  called  the  name  of  the  Lord 
that  spake  unto  her,  'Thou  art  ^a  God  that  seeth :  for 
she  said,  Have  I  even  here  looked  after  him  that 

14 seeth  me?  Wherefore  the  well  was  called  'Be'er- 
la-hai'-roi  ;  behold,  it  is  between  Ka'desh  and  Be'red. 

15  And  Ha'gar  bare  A'bram  a  son :  and  A'bram  called 
the  name  of  his  son,  which  Ha'gar  bare,  Ish'ma-el. 

16  And  A'bram  was  fourscore  and  six  years  old,  when 
Ha'gar  bare  Ish'ma-el  to  A'bram. 

**  And  when  A'bram  was  ninety  years  old  and  nine, 
the  Lord  appeared  to  A'bram,  and  said  unto  him,  I 
am  *God  Almighty ;   walk  before  me,  and  be  thou 

2  perfect.     And  I  will  make  my  covenant  between  me 

3  and  thee,  and  will  multijjly  thee  exceedingly.  And 
A'bram  fell  on  his  face :  and  God  talked  with  him 

4  saying.  As  for  me,  behold,  my  covenant  is  with  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  be  the  father  of  a  multitude  of  nations. 

5  Neither  shall  thy  name  any  more  be  called  A'bram, 
but  thy  name  shall  be  A'bra-ham ;  for  the  father  of  a 

6  multitude  of  nations  have  I  made  thee.  And  I  will 
make  thee  exceeding  fruitful,  and  I  will  make  nations 

7  of  thee,  and  kings  shall  come  out  of  thee.  And  I 
will  establish  my  covenant  between  rae  and  thee  and 
thy  seed  after  thee  throughout  their  generations  for 
an  everlasting  covenant,  to  be  a  God  unto  thee  and 

8  to  thy  seed  after  thee.  And  I  will  give  unto  thee, 
and  to  thy  seed  after  thee,  the  land  of  thy  sojourn- 
ings,  all  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  for  an  everlasting  pos- 

9  session ;  and  I  will  be  their  God.  And  God  said 
unto  A'bra-ham,  And  as  for  thee,  thou  shalt  keep  my 
covenant,  thou,  and  thy  seed  after  thee  throughout 

10  their  generations.  This  is  my  covenant,  which  ye 
shall  keep,  between  me  and  you  and  thy  seed  after 
thee;  every  male  among  you  shall  be  circumcised. 

11  And  ye  shall  be  circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  your 
foreskin ;  and  it  shall  be  a  token  of  a  covenant  be 

12twixt  me  and  you.  And  he  that  is  eight  days  old 
shall  be  circumcised  among  you,  every  male  through- 
out your  generations,  he  that  is  born  in  the  house, 
or  bought  with  money  of  any  stranger,  which  is  not 

13  of  thy  seed.  He  that  is  born  in  thy  house,  and  he 
that  is  bought  with  thy  money,  must  needs  be  cir- 
cumcised :    and  my  covenant  shall  be  in  your  flesh 

14  for  an  everlasting  covenant.  And  the  uncircumcised 
male  who  is  not  circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  his  fore- 
skin, that  soul  shall  be  cut  off"  from  his  people ;  he 
hath  broken  my  covenant.

15  ^And  God  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  As  for  Sa'rai  thy  wife, 
thou  shalt  not  call  her  name  Sa'rai,  but  ||Sa'rah  shall  her 
name  be. 

16  And  I  will  bless  her, ^and  give  thee  a  son  also  of  her: 
yea,  I  will  bless  her,  and  f  she  shall  be  a  mother  "of  nations ; 
kings  of  people  shall  be  of  her. 

17  Then  A'bra-ham  fell  upon  his  face,  'and  laughed,  and 
said  in  his  heart.  Shall  a  child  be  born  unto  him  that  is  a 
hundred  years  old  ?  and  shall  Sa'rah,  that  is  ninety  years 
old,  bear? 

18  And  A'bra-ham  said  unto  God,  O  that  Ish'ma-el  might 
live  before  thee ! 

19  And  God  said,  "Sa'rah  thy  wife  shall  bear  thee  a  son 
indeed ;  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name  I'saac :  and  I  will  es- 
tablish my  covenant  with  him  for  an  everlasting  covenant, 
and  with  his  seed  after  him. 

20  And  as  for  Ish'ma-el,  I  have  heard  thee :  Behold,  I  have 
blessed  him,  and  will  make  him  fruitful,  and  'will  multiply 
him  exceedingly ;  "twelve  princes  shall  he  beget,  ''and  I 
will  make  him  a  great  nation. 

21  But  my  covenant  will  I  establish  with  I'saac,  'which 
Sa'rah  shall  bear  unto  thee  at  this  set  time  in  the  next  year. 

22  And  he  left  off  talking  with  him,  and  God  went  up  from 
A'bra-ham. 

23  ^And  A'bra-ham  took  Ish'ma-el  his  son,  and  all  that 
were  born  in  his  house,  and  all  that  were  bought  with  his 
money,  every  male  among  the  men  of  A'bra-ham's  house ; 
and  circumcised  the  flesh  of  their  foreskin  in  the  selfsame 
day,  as  God  had  said  unto  him. 

24  And  A'bra-ham  was  ninety  years  old  and  nine,  when  he 
was  circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  his  foreskin. 

25  And  Ish'ma-el  his  son  was  thirteen  years  old,  when  he 
was  circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  his  foreskin. 

26  In  the  self-same  day  was  A'bra-ham  circumcised,  and 
Ish'ma-ei  his  son. 

27  And  ^all  the  men  of  his  house,  born  in  the  house,  and 
bought  with  money  of  the  stranger,  were  circumcised  with  him. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

The  destruction  of  Sodom  is  revealed  to  Abraham. 

AND  the   Lord  appeared    unto   him    in   the  "plains   of 
Mam're :  and  he  sat  in  the  tent  door  in  the  heat  of  the  day ; 

2  'And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked,  and,  lo,  three  men 
stood  by  him :  "and  when  he  saw  them,  he  ran  to  meet  them 
from  the  tent  door,  and  bowed  himself  toward  the  ground, 

3  And  said,  My  lord,  if  now  I  have  found  favour  in  thy 
sight,  pass  not  away,  I  pray  thee,  from  thy  servant : 

4  Let  ''a  little  water,  I  pray  you,  be  fetched,  and  wash 
your  feet,  and  rest  yourselves  under  the  tree : 

5  And  'I  will  fetch  a  morsel  of  bread,  and  t^comfort  ye  your 
hearts ;  after  that  ye  shall  pass  on :  "for  therefore  fare  ye  come 
to  your  servant.     And  they  said.  So  do,  as  thou  hast  said. 

6  And  A'bra-ham  hastened  into  the  tent  unto  Sa'rah,  and 
said,  fMake  ready  quickly  three  measures  of  fine  meal, 
knead  it,  and  make  cakes  upon  the  hearth. 

7  And  A'bra-ham  ran  unto  the  herd,  and  fetched  a  calf 
tender  and  good,  and  gave  ii  unto  a  young  man ;  and  he 
hasted  to  dress  it. 

8  And  *he  took  butter,  and  milk,  and  the  calf  which  he 
had  dressed,  and  set  it  before  them ;  and  he  stood  by  them 
under  the  tree,  and  they  did  eat. 

9  liAnd  they  said  unto  him.  Where  is  Sa'rah  thy  wife? 
And  he  said,  Behold,  'in  the  tent. 

10  And  he  said,  I  *will  certainly  return  unto  thee  'accord- 
ing to  the  time  of  life ;  and,  lo,  "Sa'rah  thy  wife  shall  have 
a  son.  And  Sa'rah  heard  it  in  the  tent-door,  which  was 
behind  him. 

11  Now  "A'bra-ham  and  Sa'rah  were  old  and  well  stricken  in 
age ;  and  it  ceased  to  be  with  Sa'rah  "after  the  manner  of  women. 


15  And  God  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  As  for  Sa'rai  thy 
wife,  thou  shalt  not  call  her  name  Sa'rai,  but  'Sa'rah 

16  shall  her  name  be.  And  I  will  bless  her,  and  more- 
over I  will  give  thee  a  son  of  her :  yea,  I  will  bless  her, 
and  she  shall  be  a  mother  of  nations ;  kings  of  peo- 

17  pies  shall  be  of  her.  Then  A'braham  fell  upon  his 
face,  and  laughed,  and  said  in  his  heart,  Shall  a  child 
be  born  unto  him  that   is   an  hundred  years   old? 

18 and  shall  Sa'rah,  that  is  ninety  years  old,  bear?  And 
A'bra-ham  said  unto  God,  Oh  that  Ish'ma-el  might 

19 live  before  thee!  And  God  said.  Nay,  but  Sa'rah 
thy  wife  shall  bear  thee  a  son ;  and  thou  shalt  call 
his  name  ^I'saac :  and  I  will  establish  my  covenant 
with  him  for  an  everlasting  covenant  for  his  seed 

20 after  him.  And  as  for  Ish'ma-el,  I  have  heard  thee: 
behold,  I  have  bles.sed  him,  and  will  make  him  fruit- 
ful, and  will  multiply  him  exceedingly  ;  twelve  princes 
shall  he  beget,  and  I  will  make  him  a  great  nation. 

21  But  my  covenant  will  I  establish  -svith  I'saac,  which 
Sa'rah  shall  bear  unto  thee  at  this  set  time  in  the  next 

22  year.    And  he  left  off  talking  with  him,  and  God  went 

23  up  from  A'bra-ham.  And  A'bra-ham  took  Ish'ma-el 
his  son,  and  all  that  were  born  in  his  house,  and  all  that 
were  bought  with  his  money,  every  male  among  the 
men  of  A'bra-ham's  house,  and  circumcised  the  flesh 
of  their  foreskin  in  the  selfsame  day,  as  God  had 

24  said  unto  him.  And  A'bra-ham  was  ninety  years  old 
and  nine,  when  he  was  circumcised  in  the  flesh  of  his 

25  foreskin.  And  Ish'ma-el  his  son  was  thirteen  vears 
old,  when  he  was  circumcised   in   the  flesh  of  his 

26  foreskin.    In  the  selfsame  day  was  A'bra-ham  circum- 

27  cised,  and  Ish'ma-el  his  son.  And  all  the  men  of  his 
house,  those  born  in  the  house,  and  those  bought  with 
money  of  the  stranger,  were  circumcised  with  him. 

+0  And  the  Lord  appeared  uuto  him  by  the  'oaks  of 
Mam're,  as  he  sat  in  the  tent  door  in  the  heat  of  the 

2  day ;  and  he  lift  up  his  eyes  and  looked,  and,  lo, 
three  men  stood  over  again.st  him :  and  when  he  saw 
them,  he  ran  to  meet  them  from  the  tent  door,  and 

3  bo  wed  himself  to  the  earth,  and  said,  *My  lord,  if 
now  I  have  found  favour  in  thy  sight,  pass  not  away, 

4 1  pray  thee,  from  thy  servant :  let  now  a  little  water 
be  fetched,  and  wash  your  feet,  and  rest  yourselves 

5  under  the  tree :  and  I  will  fetch  a  morsel  of  bread, 
and  comfort  ye  your  heart ;  after  that  ye  shall  pass 
on :    'forasmuch   as   ye   are  come  to   your  servant. 

6  And  they  said.  So  do,  as  thou  hast  said.  And  A'bra- 
ham  hastened  into  the  tent  unto  Sa'rah,  and  said. 
Make  ready  quickly  three  measures  of  fine  meal, 

7  knead  it,  and  make  cakes.  And  A'bra-ham  ran  unto 
the  herd,  and  fetched  a  calf  tender  and  good,  and 
gave  it  unto  the  servant;  and  he   hasted  to   dress 

8  it.  And  he  took  butter,  and  milk,  and  the  calf 
which  he  had  dressed,  and  set  it  before  them; 
and  he  stood  by  them   under   the   tree,   and    they 

9  did  eat.     And  they  said  unto  him.  Where  is  Sa'rah 
lOthy  wife?     And  he  said,  Behold,  in  the  tent.     And 

he  said,  I  will  certainly  return  unto  thee  when 
the  season  "cometh  round ;  and,  lo,  Sa'rah  thy 
wife  shall  have  a  son.  And  Sa'rah  heard  in  the 
1 1  tent  door,  which  was  behind  him.  Now  A'bra-ham 
and  Sa'rah  were  old,  and  well  stricken  in  age ;  it  had 
ceased  to  be  with  Sa'rah  after  the  manner  of  women.

12  Therefore  Sa'rah  "laughed  within  herself,  saying,  'After  I 
am  waxed  old  shall  I  have  pleasure,  my  'lord  being  old  also  ? 

13  And  the  Loed  said  unto  A'bra-ham,Wherefore  did  Sa'rah 
laugh,  saying.  Shall  I  of  a  surety  bear  a  child,  which  am  old  ? 

14  'Is  any  thing  too  hard  for  the  Lord?  'At  the  time 
appointed  I  will  return  unto  thee,  according  to  the  time  of 
life,  and  Sa'rah  shall  have  a  son. 

15  Then  Sa'rah  denied,  saying,  I  laughed  not;  for  she  was 
afraid.     And  he  said,  Nay ;  but  thou  didst  laugh. 

1 6  ^  And  the  men  rose  up  from  thence,and  looked  toward  Sod'- 
om :  and  A'bra-ham  went  with  them  "to  bring  them  on  the  way. 

17  And  the  Lord  said,  "Shall  I  hide  from  A'bra-ham  that 
thing  which  I  do ; 

18  Seeing  that  A'bra-ham  shall  surely  become  a  great  and 
mighty  nation,  and  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  shall  be 
""blessed  in  him? 

19  For  I  know  him,  "that  he  will  command  his  children 
and  his  household  after  him,  and  they  shall  keep  the  way 
of  the  Lord,  to  do  justice  and  judgment;  that  the  Lord 
may  bring  upon  A'bra-ham  that  which  he  hath  spoken  of  him. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  Because  'the  cry  of  Sod'om  and 
Go-mor'rah  is  great,  and  because  their  sin  is  very  grievous, 

21  "I  will  go  down  now,  and  see  whether  they  have  done 
altogether  according  to  the  cry  of  it,  which  is  come  unto 
me ;  and  if  not,  ""I  will  know. 

22  And  the  men  turned  their  faces  from  thence,  "and  went 
toward  Sod'om :  but  A'bra-ham  ''stood  yet  before  the  Lord. 

23  ^And  A'bra-ham  "drew  near,  and  said,  •'^Wilt  thou  also 
destroy  the  righteous  with  the  wicked? 

24  'Peradventure  there  be  fifty  righteous  within  the  city : 
wilt  thou  also  destroy  and  not  spare  the  place  for  the  fifty 
righteous  that  are  therein? 

25  That  be  far  from  thee  to  do  after  this  manner,  to  slay 
the  righteous  with  the  wicked;  and  *that  the  righteous 
should  be  as  the  wicked,  that  be  far  from  thee:  'Shall  not 
the  Judge  of  all  the  earth  do  right? 

26  And  the  Lord  said,  *If  I  find  in  Sod'om  fifty  righteous 
within  the  city,  then  I  will  spare  all  the  place  for  their  sakes. 

27  And  A'bra-ham  answered  and  said,  'Behold  now,  I  have 
taken  upon  me  to  speak  unto  the  Lord,  which  am  '"but 
dust  and  ashes : 

28  Peradventure  there  shall  lack  five  of  the  fifty  righteous : 
wilt  thou  destroy  all  the  city  for  lack  of  five  ?  And  he  said, 
If  I  find  there  forty  and  five,  I  will  not  destroy  it. 

29  And  he  spake  unto  him  yet  again,  and  said,  Peradven- 
ture there  shall  be  forty  found  there.  And  he  said,  I  will 
not  do  it  for  forty's  sake. 

30  And  he  said  unto  him,  Oh  let  not  the  Lord  be  angry, 
and  I  will  speak :  Peradventure  there  shall  thirty  be  found 
there.     And  he  said,  I  will  not  do  it,  if  I  find  thirty  there. 

31  And  he  said.  Behold  now,  I  have  taken  upon  me  to  speak 
unto  the  Lord:  Peradventure  there  shall  be  twenty  found 
there.     And  he  said,  I  will  not  destroy  it  for  twenty's  sake. 

32  And  he  said,  "Oh  let  not  the  Lord  be  angry,  and  I 
will  speak  yet  but  this  once :  Peradventure  ten  shall  be  found 
there.     "And  he  said,  I  will  not  destroy  it  for  ten's  sake. 

33  And  the  Lord  went  his  way,  as  soon  as  he  had  left 
communing  with  A'bra-ham :  and  A'bra-ham  returned  unto 
his  place. 

CHAPTER  XIX. 

Sodom  and  Gomorrah  destroyed — Loi's  wife  made  a  piHar  of  salt. 

AND  there  "came  two  angels  to  Sod'om  at  even ;  and  Lot 
sat  in  the  gate  of  Sod'om:  and  *Lot  seeing  them  rose 
up  to  meet  them ;  and  he  bowed  himself  with  his  face 
toward  the  ground; 

2  And  he  said.  Behold  now,  my  lords,  "turn  in,  I  pray 
you,  into  your  servant's  house,  and  tarry  all  night,  and  ''wash 
your  feet,  and  ye  shall  rise  up  early,  and  go  on  your  ways. 
And  they  said,  'Nay ;  but  we  will  abide  in  the  street  all  night. 


12  And  Sa'rah  laughed  within  herself,  saying.  After 
I  am    waxed    old   shall   I   have   pleasure,  my  lord 

13 being  old  also?  And  the  Lord  said  unto  A'bra- 
ham,    Wherefore    did    Sa'rah  laugh,    saying,   Shall 

141  of  a  surety  bear  a  child,  which  am  old?  Is 
any  thing  too  'hard  for  the  Lord?  At  the  set 
time   I  will    return    unto    thee,    when    the    season 

15  ^Cometh  round,  and  Sa'rah  shall  have  a  son.  Then 
Sa'rah  denied,  saying,  I  laughed  not;  for  she  was 
afraid.     And  he  said.  Nay ;  but  thou  didst  laugh. 

16  And  the  men  rose  up  from  thence,  and  looked 
toward  Sod'om :  and  A'bra-ham  went  with  them  to 

17  bring  them  on  the  way.     And  the  Lord  said,  Shall 
181  hide  from  A'bra-ham  that  which  I  do;  seeing  that 

A'bra-ham  shall  surely  become  a  great  and  mighty 
nation,  and  all   the    nations  of  the  earth   shall  be 

19 blessed  in  him?  For  I  have  'known  him,  to  the  end 
that  he  may  command  his  children  and  his  house- 
hold after  him,  that  they  may  keep  the  way  of  the 
Lord,  to  do  justice  and  judgement;  to  the  end  that 
the  Lord  may  bring  upon  A'bra-ham  that  which  he 

20  hath  spoken  of  him.  And  the  Lord  said,  ^Because 
the  cry   of  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah   is   great,  and 

21*because  their  sin  is  very  grievous;  I  will  go  down 
now,  and  see  whether  they  have  done  altogether 
according  to  the  cry  of  it,  which  is  come  unto  me ; 

22  and  if  not,  I  will  know.  And  the  men  turned  from 
thence,  and   went  toward  Sod'om:    but  A'bra-ham 

23  stood  yet  before  the  Lord.  And  A'bra-ham  drew 
near,  and  said.  Wilt  thou  consume  the  righteous  with 

24 the  wicked?  Peradventure  there  be  fifty  righteous 
within  the  city :  wilt  thou  consume  and  not  spare 
the  place  for  the  fifty  righteous  that   are  therein? 

25  That  be  far  from  thee  to  do  after  this  manner,  to 
slay  the  righteous  with  the  wicked,  that  so  the 
righteous  should  be  as  the  wicked ;  that  be  far  from 
thee :  shall  not  the  Judge  of  all  the  earth  do  right  ? 

26  And  the  Lord  said,  If  I  find  in  Sod'om  fifty  righteous 
within  the  city,  then  I  will  spare  all  the  place  for 

27  their  sake.  And  A'bra-ham  answered  and  said,  Be- 
hold now,  I  have  taken  upon  me  to  speak  unto  the 

28  Lord,  which  am  but  dust  and  ashes :  peradventure 
there  shall  lack  five  of  the  fifty  righteous :  wilt  thou 
destroy  all  the  city  for  lack  of  five  ?  And  he  said,  I 
will  not  destroy  it,  if  I  find  there  forty  and  five 

29  And  he  spake  unto  him  yet  again,  and  said,  Perad- 
venture there  shall  be  forty  found  there.     And  he 

30  said,  I  will  not  do  it  for  the  forty's  sake.  And  he 
said.  Oh  let  not  the  Lord  be  angry,  and  I  will  speak : 

Eerad venture  there  shall  thirty  be  found  there.  And 
e  said,  I  will  not  do  it,  if  I  find  thirty  there.  And 
he  said.  Behold  now,  I  have  taken  upon  me  to 
speak  unto  the  Lord:  peradventure  there  shall  be 
twenty  found  there.     And  he  said,  I  will  not  destroy  it 

32  for  the  twenty's  sake.  And  he  said.  Oh  let  not  the 
Lord  be  angry,  and  I  will  speak  yet  but  this  once : 
peradventure  ten  shall  be  found  there.     And  he  said, 

33 1  will  not  destroy  it  for  the  ten's  sake.  And  the  Lord 
went  his  way,  as  soon  as  he  had  left  communing  with 
A'bra-ham :  and  A'bra-ham  returned  unto  his  place

3  And  he  pressed  upon  them  greatly  \  and  they  turned  in 
unto  him,  and  entered  into  his  house ;  ■'^and  he  made  them 
a  feast,  and  did  bake  unleavened  bread,  and  they  did  eat. 

4  ^But  before  they  lay  down,  the  men  of  the  city,  e»en 
the  men  of  Sod'om,  compassed  the  house  round,  both  old 
and  young,  all  the  people  from  every  quarter : 

5  'And  they  called  unto  Lot,  and  said  unto  him.  Where 
are  the  men  which  came  in  to  thee  this  night  ?  ''bring  them 
out  unto  us,  that  we  'may  know  them. 

6  And  *Lot  went  out  at  the  door  unto  them,  and  shut  the 
door  after  him. 

7  And  said,  I  pray  you,  brethren,  do  not  so  wickedly. 

8  'Behold  now,  I  have  two  daughters  which  have  not 
known  man ;  let  me,  I  pray  you,  bring  them  out  unto  you, 
and  do  ye  to  them  as  is  good  in  your  eyes :  only  unto  these 
men  do  nothing ;  "for  therefore  came  they  under  the  shadow 
of  my  roof. 

9  And  they  said.  Stand  back.  And  they  said  again,  This 
one  fellow  "came  in  to  sojourn,  "and  he  will  needs  be  a  judge : 
now  will  we  deal  worse  with  thee  than  with  them.  And 
they  pressed  sore  upon  the  man,  even  Lot,  and  came  near 
to  break  the  door. 

10  But  the  men  put  forth  their  hand,  and  pulled  Lot  into 
the  house  to  them,  and  shut  to  the  door. 

11  And  they  smote  the  men  "that  were  at  the  door  of  the 
house  with  blindness,  both  small  and  great:  so  that  they 
wearied  themselves  to  find  the  door. 

12  ^And  the  men  said  unto  Lot,  Hast  thou  here  any 
besides?  son  in  law,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  daughters,  and 
whatsoever  thou  hast  in  the  city,  'bring  them  out  of  this  place : 

13  For  we  will  destroy  this  place,  because  the  ""cry  of 
them  is  waxen  great  before  the  face  of  the  Lord;  and  'the 
Lord  hath  sent  us  to  destroy  it. 

14  And  Lot  went  out,  and  spake  unto  his  sons  in  law, 
'which  married  his  daughters,  and  said,  "Up,  get  you  out  of 
this  place ;  for  the  Loed  will  destroy  this  city.  ''But  he 
seemed  as  one  that  mocked  unto  his  sons  in  law. 

1 5  5[And  when  the  morning  arose,  then  the  angels  hastened 
Lot,  sayingj^Arise,  take  thy  wife,  and  thy  two  daughters, which 
fare  here;  lest  thou  be  consumed  in  the  ||  iniquity  of  the  city. 

16  And  while  he  lingered,  the  men  laid  hold  upon  his  hand, 
and  upon  the  hand  of  his  wife,  and  upon  the  hand  of  his  two 
daughters;  "the  Lord  being  merciful  unto  him:  'and  they 
brought  him  forth,  and  set  him  without  the  city. 

17  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  had  brought  them 
forth  abroad,  that  he  said,  "Escape  for  thy  life ;  ''look  not 
behind  thee,  neither  stay  thou  in  all  the  plain ;  escape  to  the 
mountain,  lest  thou  be  consumed. 

18  And  Lot  said  unto  them.  Oh,  'not  so,  my  Lord: 

19  Behold  now,  thy  servant  hath  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
and  thou  hast  magnified  thy  mercy,  which  thou  hast  shewed 
unto  me  in  saving  my  life;  and  I  can  not  escape  to  the 
mountain,  lest  some  evil  take  me,  and  I  die : 

20  Behold  now,  this  city  is  near  to  flee  unto,  and  it  is  a 
little  one:  O,  let  me  escape  thither,  (is  it  not  a  little  one?) 
and  my  soul  shall  live. 

21  And  he  said  unto  him.  See,  ^I  have  accepted  fthee 
concerning  this  thing  also,  that  I  will  not  overthrow  this 
city,  for  the  which  thou  hast  spoken. 

22  Haste  thee,  escajie  thither ;  for  "I  can  not  do  any  thing 
till  thou  be  come  thither.  Therefore  'the  name  of  the  city 
was  called  1 1  Zo'ar. 

23  ^The  sun  was  frisen  upon  the  earth  when  Lot  entered 
into  Zo'ar. 

24  Then  'the  Lord  rained  upon  Sod'om  and  upon  Go-mor'- 
rah  brimstone  and  fire  from  the  Lord  out  of  heaven ; 

25  And  he  overthrew  those  cities,  and  all  the  plain,  and 
all  the  inhabitants  of  the  cities,  and  'that  which  grew  upon 
the  ground. 


3 And  he  urged  them  greatly;  and  they  turned 
in  unto  him,  and  entered  into  his  house;  and 
he    made  them  a  feast,  and  did  bake   unleavened 

4  bread,  and  they  did  eat.  But  before  they  lay  down, 
the  men  of  the  city,  even  the  men  of  Sod'om,  com- 
passed the  house  round,  both  young  and  old,  all  the 

5 people  from  every  quarter;  and  they  called  unto 
Lot,  and  said  unto  him.  Where  are  the  men  which 
came  in  to  thee  this  night?  bring  them  out  unto  us, 

6  that  we  may  know  them.     And  Lot  went  out  unto 

7  them  to  the  door,  and  shut  the  door  after  him.  And 
he  said,  I  pray  you,  my  brethren,  do   not  so   wick- 

8edly.  Behold  now,  I  have  two  daughters  which

'forasmuch  as  they  are  come  under  the  shadow  of 

9  my  roof  And  they  said.  Stand  back.  And  they 
said.  This  one  fellow  came  in  to  sojourn,  and  he  will 
needs  be  a  judge:  now  will  we  deal  worse  with 
thee,  than  with  them.  And  they  pressed  sore  upon 
the  man,  even  Lot,  and  drew  near  to  break  the  door. 

10  But  the  men  put  forth  their  hand,  and  brought  Lot 

11  into  the  house  to  them,  and  shut  to  the  door.  And 
they  smote  the  men  that  were  at  the  door  of  the 
house  with  blindness,  both  small  and  great:  so  that 

12  they  wearied  themselves  to  find  the  door.  And  the 
men  said  unto  Lot,  Hast  thou  here  any  besides? 
son  in  law,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  daughters,  and 
whomsoever  thou  hast  in  the  city;  bring  them  out 

13 of  the  place:  for  we  will  destroy  this  place,  because 
the  cry  of  them  is  waxen  great  before  the  Lord  ; 

14  and  the  Lord  hath  sent  us  to  destroy  it.  And  Lot 
went  out,  and  spake  unto  his  sons  in  law,  which 
^married  his  daughters,  and  said.  Up,  get  you  out 
of  this  place ;  for  the  Lord  will  destroy  the  city. 
But  he  seemed  unto  his  sons  in  law  as  one  that 

15  mocked.  And  when  the  morning  arose,  then  the 
angels  hastened  Lot,  .saying.  Arise,  take  thy  wife, 
and  thy  two  daughters   which  are   here ;  lest  thou 

16  be  consumed  in  the  ^iniquity  of  the  city.  But  he 
lingered;  and  the  men  laid  hold  upon  his  hand, 
and  upon  the  hand  of  his  wife,  and  upon  the  hand 
of  his  two  daughters ;  the  Lord  being  merciful 
unto  him :  and  they  brought  him  forth,  and  set  him 

17  without  the  city.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  had 
brought  them  forth  abroad,  that  he  said.  Escape  for 
thy  life ;  look  not  behind  thee,  neither  stay  thou  in 
all  the  ■'Plain ;  escape  to  the  mountain,  lest  thou  be 

18  consumed.     And  Lot  said  unto   them.  Oh,  not  so, 
19 'my    lord:    behold    now,    thy    servant    hath    found 

grace  in  thy  sight,  and  thou  hast  magnified  thy 
mercy,  which  thou  ha.st  shewed  unto  me  in  saving 
my  life;  and  I  can  not  escape  to  the  mountain,  lest 

20''evil  overtake  me,  and  I  die:  behold  now,  this  city 
is  near  to  flee  unto,  and  it  is  a  little  one :  Oh,  let 
me  escape  thither,  (is  it  not  a  little  one?)  and   my 

21  soul  shall  live.  And  he  said  unto  him,  See,  I  have 
accepted  thee  concerning  this  thing  also,  that  I  will 
not  overthrow  the  city  of  which  thou  hast  spoken. 

22 Haste  thee,  escape  thither;  for  I  can  not  do  any 
thing    till    thou    be  come   thither.     Therefore  the 

23  name  of  the  city  was  called  ^Zo'ar.  The  sun 
was   risen   upon  the    earth    when    Lot   came   unto 

24  Zo'ar.  Then  the  Lord  rained  upon  Sod'om  and 
upon  Go-mor'rah  brimstone  and  fire  from  the  Lord 

25 out  of  heaven;  and  he  overthrew  those  cities, 
and  all  the  Plain,  and  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  cities,  and  that   which   grew   upon   the  ground.

26  ^But  his  wife  looked  back  from  behind  him,  and  she 
became  'a  pillar  of  salt. 

27  ^And  A'bra-ham  gat  up  early  in  the  morning  to  the 
place  where  "he  stood  before  the  Loed: 

28  And  he  looked  toward  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  and  to- 
ward all  the  land  of  the  plain,  and  beheld,  and,  lo,  "the 
smoke  of  the  country  went  up  as  the  smoke  of  a  furnace.

mountain,  and  his  two  daughters  with  him ;  for  he  feared  to 
dwell  in  Zo'ar :  and  he  dwelt  in  a  cave,he  and  his  two  daughters. 

31  And  the  firstborn  said  unto  the  younger,  Our  father  is 
old,  and  there  is  not  a  man  in  the  earth  'to  come  in  unto  us 
after  the  manner  of  all  the  earth : 

32  Come,  let  us  make  our  father  drink  wine,  and  we  will 
lie  with  him,  that  we  ''may  preserve  seed  of  our  father. 

33  And  they  made  their  father  drink  wine  that  night :  and 
the  firstborn  went  in,  and  lay  with  her  father ;  and  he  per- 
ceived not  when  she  lay  down,  nor  when  she  arose. 

34  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  the  firstborn  said 
unto  the  younger.  Behold,  I  lay  yesternight  with  my  father : 
let  us  make  him  drink  wine  this  night  also ;  and  go  thou  in, 
and  lie  with  him,  that  we  may  preserve  seed  of  our  father. 

35  And  they  made  their  father  drink  wine  that  night  also : 
and  the  younger  arose,  and  lay  with  him ;  and  he  perceived 
not  when  she  lay  down,  nor  when  she  arose. 

36  Thus  were  both  the  daughters  of  Lot  with  child  by 
their  fether. 

37  And  the  firstborn  bare  a  son,  and  called  his  name 
Mo'ab :  'the  same  is  the  father  of  the  Mo'ab-ites  unto  this  day. 

38  And  the  younger,  she  also  bare  a  son,  and  called  his 
name  Ben-am'mi :  'the  same  is  the  father  of  the  children  of 
Am'mon  unto  this  day. 

CHAPTER  XX. 

Abraham  sojourneth  at  Gerar — He  denieth  his  wife^  at^d  loseth  her. 

AND    A'bra-ham  journeyed    from    "thence    toward    the 
south  country,  and  dwelt  between  ''Ka'desh  and  Shur,, 
and  'sojourned  in  Ge'rar. 

2  And  A'bra-ham  said  of  Sa'rah  his  wife,  ''She  is  my  sister : 
and  A-bim'e-lech  king  of  Ge'rar  sent,  and  *took  Sa'rah. 

3  But  -'^God  came  to  A-bim'e-lech  "in  a  dream  by  night,  and 
said  to  him,  ''Behold,  thou  art  but  a  dead  man,  for  the  woman 
which  thou  hast  taken ;  for  she  is  fa  man's  wife. 

4  But  A-bim'e-lech  had  not  come  near  her:  and  he  said. 
Lord,  'wilt  thou  slay  also  a  righteous  nation  ? 

5  Said  he  not  unto  me.  She  is  my  sister  ?  and  she,  even  she 
herself  said.  He  is  my  brother:  *in  the  || integrity  of  my 
heart  and  innocency  of  my  hands  have  I  done  this. 

6  And  God  said  unto  him  in  a  dream.  Yea,  I  know  that 
thou  didst  this  in  the  integrity  of  thy  heart ;  for  'I  also  with- 
held thee  from  sinning  "against  me :  therefore  suffered  I 
thee  not  to  touch  her. 

7  Now  therefore  restore  the  man  his  wife;  "for  he  is  a 
prophet,  and  he  shall  pray  for  thee,  and  thou  shalt  live : 
and  if  thou  restore  her  not,  "know  thou  that  thou  shalt 
surely  die,  thou,  ''and  all  that  are  thine. 

8  Therefore  A-bim'e-lech  rose  early  in  the  morning,  and 
called  all  his  servants,  and  told  all  these  things  in  their  ears : 
and  the  men  were  sore  afraid. 

9  Then  A-bim'e-lech  called  A'bra-ham,  and  said  unto  him, 
What  hast  thou  done  unto  us  ?  and  what  have  I  offended  thee, 
'that  thou  hast  brought  on  me  and  on  my  kingdom  a  great 
sin  ?  thou  hast  done  deeds  unto  me  'that  ought  not  to  be  done. 

10  And  A-bim'e-lech  said  unto  A'braham,What  sawest  thou, 
that  thou  hast  done  this  thing? 


26  But  his  wife  looked  back  from  behind   him,  and 

27  she  became  a  pillar  of  salt.  And  A'bra-ham  gat  up 
early  in  the  morning   to   the   place   where   he    had 

28  stood  before  the  Lord  :  and  he  looked  toward  Sod'om 
and  Go-mor'rah,  and  toward  all  the  land  of  the 
Plain,  and  beheld,  and,  lo,  the  smoke  of  the  land 
went  up  as  the  smoke  of  a  furnace. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  God  destroyed  the 
cities  of  the  Plain,  that  God  remembered  A'bra-ham, 
and  sent  Lot  out  of  the  midst  of  the  overthrow, 
when  he  overthrew  the  cities  in  the  which  Lot  dwelt 

30  And  Lot  went  up  out  of  Zo'ar,  and  dwelt  in  the 
mountain,  and  his  two  daughters  with  him ;  for  he 
feared  to  dwell  in  Zo'ar ;  and  he  dwelt  in  a  cave,  he 

31  and  his  two  daughters.  And  the  firstborn  said  unto 
the  younger.  Our  father  is  old,  and  there  is  not  a 
man  in  the  earth  to  come  in  unto  us  after  the  man 

32  ner  of  all  the  earth :  come,  let  us  make  our  father 
drink  wine,  and  we  will  lie  with  him,  that  we  may 

33  preserve  seed  of  our  father.  And  they  made  their 
lather  drink  wine  that  night :  and  the  firstborn  went 
in,  and  lay  with  her  father ;  and  he  knew  not  when 

34  she  lay  down,  nor  when  she  arose.  And  it  came  to 
pass  on  the  morrow,  that  the  firstborn  said  unto  the 
younger,  Behold,  I  lay  yesternight  with  my  father . 
let  us  make  him  drink  wine  this  night  also ;  and  go 
thou  in,  and  lie  with  him,  that  we  may  preserve  seed 

35  of  our  father.  And  they  made  their  father  drink 
wine  that  night  also :  and  the  younger  arose,  and 
lay  with  him ;  and  he  knew  not  when  she  lay  down, 

36  nor  when  she  arose.     Thus  were  both  the  daughters 

37  of  Lot  with  child  by  their  father.  And  the  firstborn 
bare  a  son,  and  called  his  name  Mo'ab :  the  same  is 

38  the  father  of  the  Mo'ab-ites  unto  this  day.     And  the 
younger,  she  also  bare  a  son,  and  called  his 
Ben-am'mi :  the  same  is  the  father  of 
of  Am'mon  unto  this  day, 

^  V  And  A'braham  journeyed  from  thence  toward  the 
land  of  the  South,  and  dwelt  between  Ka'desh  and 

2  Shur ;  and  he  sojourned  in  Ge'rar.  And  A'bra-ham 
said  of  Sa'rah  his  wife.  She  is  my  sister :  and  A-bim'e- 

3  lech  king  of  Ge'rar  sent,  and  took  Sa'rah.  But  God 
came  to  A-bim'e-lech  in  a  dream  of  the  night,  and 
said  to  him.  Behold,  thou  art  but  a  dead  man,  be- 
cause of  the  woman  which  thou  hast  taken ;  for  she 

4  is  a  man's  wife.  Now  A-bim'e-lech  had  not  come 
near  her :  and  he  said,  Lord,  wilt  thou  slay  even  a 

5 righteous  nation?  Said  he  not  him.self  unto  me, 
She  is  my  sister?  and  she,  even  she  herself  said. 
He  is  my  brother :  in  the  integrity  of  my  heart  and 

6  the  innocency  of  my  hands  have  I  done  this.  And 
God  said  unto  him  in  the  dream,  Yea,  I  know  that 
in  the  integrity  of  thy  heart  thou  hast  done  this,  and 
I  also  withheld  thee  from  sinning  against  me :  there- 

7  fore  suffered  I  thee  not  to  touch  her.  Now  there- 
fore restore  the  man's  wife ;  for  he  is  a  prophet,  and  he 
shall  pray  for  thee,  and  thou  shalt  live :  and  if  thou 
restore  her  not,  know  thou  that  thou  shalt  surely 

8  die,  thou,  and  all  that  are  thine.  And  A-bim'e-lech 
rose  early  in  the  morning,  and  called  all  his  serv- 
ants, and  told  all  these  things  in  their  ears:    and 

9  the  men  were  sore  afraid.  Then  A-bim'e-lech  called 
A'bra-ham,  and  said  unto  him.  What  hast  thou  done 
unto  us?  and  wherein  have  I  sinned  against  thee, 
that  thou  hast  brought  on  me  and  on  my  kingdom  a 
great  sin  ?  thou  hast  done  deeds  unto  me  that  ought 

10  not  to' be  done.  AndA-bim'e-lech  said  unto  A'bra-ham, 
What  sawest  thou,  that  thou  hast  done  this  thing?

1 1  And  A'bra-ham  said,Because  I  thought,Surely  'the  fear  of 
God  is  not  in  this  place;  and  'they  will  slay  me  for  my  wife's  sake. 

12  And  yet  indeed  "she  is  my  sister;  she  is  the  daughter 
of  my  father,  but  not  the  daughter  of  my  mother ;  and  she 
became  my  wife. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  ''God  caused  me  to  wander 
from  my  father's  house,  that  I  said  unto  her.  This  is  thy  kind- 
ness which  thou  shalt  shew  unto  me ;  at  every  place  whither 
we  shall  come,  "say  of  me.  He  is  my  brother. 

14  And  A-bim'e-lech  'took  sheep,  and  oxen,  and  menserv- 
ants,  and  womenservants,  and  gave  them  unto  A'bra-ham, 
and  restored  him  Sa'rah  his  wife. 

15  And  A-bim'e-lech  said.  Behold,  "my  land  is  before  thee : 
dwell  fwhere  it  pleaseth  thee. 

16  And  unto  Sa'rah  he  said.  Behold,  I  have  given  'thy 
brother  a  thousand  pieces  of  silver :  "behold,  he  is  to  thee  ''a 
covering  of  the  eyes,  unto  all  that  are  with  thee,  and  with 
all  other:  thus  she  was  reproved. 

1 7  If  So  A'bra-ham  Sprayed  unto  God:  and  God  healed  A-bim'- 
e-lech,and  hiswife,andhis  maidservants;  and  they  bare  children. 

18  For  the  Lord  ^had  fast  closed  up  all  the  wombs  of  the 
house  of  A-bim'e-lech,  because  of  Sa'rah,  A'bra-ham's  wife. 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

If<iac  born  and  circumcised — Hagar  and  Ishmael  cast  forth. 

AND  the   Lord  "visited  Sa'rah  as  he  had  said,  and  the 
Lord  did  unto  Sa'rah  ''as  he  had  spoken. 

2  For  Sa'rah  ''conceived,  and  bare  A'bra-ham  a  son  in  his  old 
age,  ''at  the  set  time  of  which  God  had  spoken  to  him. 

3  And  A'bra-ham  called  the  name  of  his  son  that  was  born 
unto  him,  whom  Sa'rah  bare  to  him,  "I'saac. 

4  And  A'bra-ham  /circumcised  his  son  I'saac  being  eight 
days  old,  "as  God  had  commanded  him. 

5  And  ''A'bra-ham  was  a  hundred  years  old,  when  his  son 
I'saac  was  born  unto  him. 

6  ^And  Sa'rah  said,  'God  hath  made  me  to  laugh,  so  that 
all  that  hear  *will  laugh  with  me. 

7  And  she  said.  Who  would  have  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  that 
Sa'rah  should  have  given  children  suck  ?  'for  I  have  borne  hivi 
a  son  in  his  old  age. 

8  And  the  child  grew,  and  was  weaned :  And  A'bra-ham 
made  a  great  feast  the  same  day  that  I'saac  was  weaned. 

9  ^And  Sa'rah  saw  the  son  of  Ha'gar  "the  E-gyp'tian, 
"which  she  had  borne  unto  A'bra-ham,  "mocking. 

10  Wherefore  she  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  "Cast  out  this  bond- 
woman and  her  son :  for  the  son  of  this  bondwoman  shall 
not  be  heir  with  my  son,  even  with  I'saac. 

11  And  the  thing  was  very  grievous  in  A'bra-ham's  sight 
'because  of  his  son. 

12  ^And  God  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  Let  it  not  be  grievous 
in  thy  sight  because  of  the  lad,  and  because  of  thy  bond- 
woman ;  in  all  that  Sa'rah  hath  said  unto  thee,  hearken  unto 
her  voice ;  for  in  ""I'saac  shall  thy  seed  be  called. 

13  And  also  of  the  son  of  the  bondwoman  will  I  make  'a 
nation,  because  he  is  thy  seed. 

14  And  A'bra-ham  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  took 
bread,  and  a  bottle  of  water,  and  gave  it  unto  Ha'gar,  putting 
it  on  her  shoulder,  and  the  child,  and  'sent  her  away  :  and  she 
departed,  and  wandered  in  the  wilderness  of  Be'er-she'ba. 

15  And  the  water  was  spent  in  the  bottle,  and  she  cast  the 
child  under  one  of  the  shrubs. 

16  And  she  went,  and  sat  her  down  over  against  him  a 
good  way  off,  as  it  were  a  bowshot :  for  she  said,  Let  me  not 
see  the  death  of  the  child.  And  she  sat  over  against  him, 
and  lifted  up  her  voice,  and  wept. 

17  And  "God  heard  the  voice  of  the  lad;  and  the  angel  of 
God  called  to  Ha'gar  out  of  heaven,  and  said  unto  her.  What 
aileth  thee,  Ha'gar  ?  fear  not ;  for  God  hath  heard  the  voice 
of  the  lad  where  he  is. 


11  And  A'bra-ham  said.  Because  I  thought,  Surely 
the  fear  of  God  is  not  in  this  place;   and  they  will 

12  slay  me  for  my  wife's  sake.  And  moreover  she  is 
indeed  my  sister,  the  daughter  of  my  father,  but 
not  the  daughter  of  my   mother ;  and   she   became 

13 my  wife:  and  it  came  to  pass,  when  God  caused  me 
to  wander  from  my  father's  house,  that  I  said  unto 
her.  This  is  thy  kindness  which  thou  shalt  shew 
unto   me ;   at   every    place   whither  we   shall  come, 

14  say  of  me.  He  is  my  brother.  And  A-bim'e-lech 
took  sheep  and  oxen,  and  menservants  and  women- 
servants,  and  gave  them  unto  A'bra-ham,  and  restored 

15  him  Sa'rah  his  wife.  And  A-bim'e-lech  said,  Behold, 
my  land  is  before  thee :  dwell  where  it  pleaseth  thee. 

16  And  unto  Sa'rah  he  said,  Behold,  I  have  given  thy 
brother  a  thousand  pieces  of  silver:  behold,  'it  is 
for  thee  a  covering  of  the  eyes  to  all  that  are  with 

17 thee;  and  ^in  respect  of  all  thou  art  righted.  And 
A'bra-ham  prayed  unto  God :  and  God  healed  A-bim'e- 
lech,  and  his  wife,  and  his  maidservants ;  and  they 

18  bare  children.  For  the  Lord  had  fast  closed  up  all 
the  wombs  of  the  house  of  A-bim'e-lech,  because  of 
Sa'rah  A'bra-ham's  wife. 

•^i     And  the  Lord  visited  Sa'rah  as  he  had  said,  and 

2  the  Lord  did  unto  Sa'rah  as  he  had  spoken.  And 
Sa'rah  conceived,  and  bare  A'bra-ham  a  son  in  his 
old  age,  at  the  set  time  of  which  God  had  spoken  to 

3  him.  And  A'bra-ham  called  the  name  of  his  son  that 
was  born  unto  him,  whom  Sa'rah  bare  to  him,  I'saac. 

4  And  A'bra-ham  circumcised  his  son  I'saac  when  he 
was  eight  days  old,  as  God   had   commanded  him. 

5  And  A'bra-ham  was  an  hundred  years  old,  when  his 

6  son  I'saac  was  born  unto  him.  And  Sa'rah  said,  God 
hath  'made  me  to   laugh ;    every  one    that  heareth 

7  will  laugh  with  me.  And  she  said.  Who  would 
have  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  that  Sa'rah  should  give 
children  suck  ?  for  I  have  borne  him  a  son  in  his  old 
age. 

8  And  the  child  grew,  and  was  weaned :  and  A'bra- 
ham  made  a  great  feast  on  the  day  that  I'saac  was 

9  weaned.  And  Sa'rah  saw  the  son  of  Ha'gar  the 
E-gyp'tian,  which    she  had  borne  unto  A'bra-ham, 

10  ^mocking.  Wherefore  she  said  unto  A'bra-ham,  Cast 
out  this  bondwoman  and  her  son :  for  the  son  of 
this  bondwoman  shall  not  be  heir  with  my  son,  even 

1 1  with  I'saac.     And  the  thing  was  very  grievous  in 

12  A'bra-ham's  sight  on  account  of  his  son.  And  God 
said  unto  A'bra-ham,  Let  it  not  be  grievous  in  thy 
sight  because  of  the  lad,  and  because  of  thy  bond- 
woman ;  in  all  that  Sa'rah  saith  unto  thee,  hearken 
unto  her  voice  ;  for  in  I'saac  shall  thy  seed  be  called. 

13  And  also  of  the  son  of  the  bondwoman  will  I  make 

14  a  nation,  because  he  is  thy  seed.  And  A'bra-ham 
rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  took  bread  and  a 
^bottle  of  water,  and  gave  it  unto  Ha'gar,  putting  it 
on  her  shoulder,  and  the  child,  and  sent  her  away  : 
and  she  departed,  and  wandered  in  the  wilderness  of 

15  Be'er-she'ba.  And  the  water  in  the  bottle  was  spent, 
and  she    cast  the    child    under   one   of  the  shrubs. 

16  And  she  went,  and  sat  her  down  over  against  him  a 
good  way  off,  as  it  were  a  bowshot:  for  she  said, 
Let  me  not  look  upon  the  death  of  the  child.  And 
she  sat  over  against  him,  and  lift  up  her  voice,  and 

17  wept.  And  God  heard  the  voice  of  the  lad;  and  the 
angel  of  God  called  to  Ha'gar  out  of  heaven,  and  said 
unto  her,'  What  aileth  thee,  Ha'gar  ?  fear  not ;  for 
God  hath  heard  the  voice  of  the  lad   where  he  is.

18  Arise,  lift  up  the  lad,  and  hold  him  in  thine  hand;  for 
"I  will  make  him  a  great  nation. 

1 9  And  "'God  opened  her  eyes,and  she  saw  a  well  of  water;  and 
she  went,and  filled  the  bottle  with  water,and  gave  the  lad  drink. 

20  And  God  "was  with  the  lad ;  and  he  grew,  and  dwelt  in 
the  wilderness,  ''and  became  an  archer. 

21  And  he  dwelt  in  the  wilderness  of  Pa'ran :  and  his 
mother  "took  him  a  wife  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

22  ^And  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time,  that  ''A-bim'e-lech 
and  Phi'chol  the  chief  captain  of  his  host  spake  unto  A'bra- 
ham,  saying,  "God  is  with  thee  in  all  that  thou  doest: 

23  Now  therefore  ''swear  unto  me  here  by  God,  fthat  thou 
wilt  not  deal  falsely  with  me,  nor  with  my  son,  nor  with  my 
son's  son ;  but  according  to  the  kindness  that  I  have  done 
unto  thee,  thou  shalt  do  unto  me,  and  to  the  land  wherein 
thou  hast  sojourned. 

24  And  A'bra-ham  said,  I  will  swear. 

25  And  A'bra-ham  reproved  A-bim'e-lech  because  of  a  well  of 
water,  which  A-bim'e-lech's  servants 'had  violently  taken  away. 

26  And  A-bim'e-lech  said,I  wot  not  who  hath  done  this  thing: 
neither  didst  thou  tell  me,  neither  yet  heard  I  of  it,  but  to-day. 

27  And  A'bra-ham  took  sheep  and  oxen,  and  gave  them 
unto  A-bim'e-lech ;  and  both'  of  them  -^made  a  covenant. 

28  And  A'bra-ham  set  seven  ewe  lambs  of  the  flock  by 
themselves. 

29  And  A-bim'e-lech  said  unto  A'bra-ham,' What  mean  these 
seven  ewe  lambs  which  thou  hast  set  by  themselves  ? 

30  And  he  said.  For  these  seven  ewe  lambs  shalt  thou  take 
of  my  hand,  that  *they  may  be  a  witness  unto  me,  that  I 
have  digged  this  well. 

31  Wherefore  he  'called  that  place  ||Be'er-she'ba;  because 
there  they  sware  both  of  them. 

32  Thus  they  made  a  covenant  at  Be'er-she'ba :  then 
A-bim'e-lech  rose  up,  and  Phi'chol  the  chief  captain  of  his 
host,  and  they  returned  into  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

33  ^And  A'bra-ham  planted  a  ||  grove  in  Be'er-she'ba,  and 
*called  there  on  the  name  of  the  Lord,  'the  everlasting  God. 

34  And  A'bra-ham  sojourned  in  the  Phi-lis'tines'  land 
many  days. 

CHAPTER  XXII. 

Abtaham  tempted  to  offer  Isaac— He  giveth  proof  of  his  faith  and  obedience. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  "God  did 
tempt  A'bra-ham,  and  said  unto  him,  A'bra-ham :  and 
he  said,  fBehold,  here  I  am. 

2  And  he  said,  Take  now  thy  son,  ""thine  only  %on  I'saac, 
whom  thou  lovest,  and  get  thee  ""into  the  land  of  Mo-ri'ah ; 
and  offer  him  there  for  a  burnt  offering  upon  one  of  the 
mountains  which  I  will  tell  thee  of. 

3  -^And  A'bra-ham  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  sad- 
dled his  ass,  and  took  two  of  his  young  men  with  him,  and 
I'saac  his  son,  and  clave  the  wood  for  the  burnt  offering,  and 
rose  up,  and  went  unto  the  place  of  which  God  had  told  him. 

4  Then  on  the  third  day  A'bra-ham  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw  the  place  afar  off. 

5  And  A'bra-ham  said  unto  his  young  men.  Abide  ye  here 
with  the  ass ;  and  I  and  the  lad  will  go  yonder  and  worship, 
and  come  again  to  you. 

6  And  A'bra-ham  took  the  wood  of  the  burnt  offering,  and 
''laid  it  upon  I'saac  his  son ;  and  he  took  the  fire  in  his  hand, 
and  a  knife ;  and  they  went  both  of  them  together. 

7  And  I'saac  spake  unto  A'bra-ham  his  father,  and  said.  My 
father :  and  he  said,  fHere  am  I,  my  son.  And  he  said. 
Behold  the  fire  and  the  wood :  but  where  is  the  ||  lamb  for 
a  burnt  offering? 

8  And  A'bra-ham  said.  My  son,  God  will  provide  himself  a 
lamb  for  a  burnt  offering :  so  they  went  both  of  them  together. 

9  And  they  came  to  the  place  which  God  had  told  him  of;  and 
A'bra-ham  built  an  altar  there,  and  laid  the  wood  in  order,  and 
bound  I'saac  his  son,  and  'laid  him  on  the  altar  upon  the  wood. 


18  Arise,  lift  up  the  lad,  and  hold  him  in   thine   hand; 

19  for  I  will  make  him  a  great  nation.  And  God 
opened  her  eyes,  and  she  saw  a  well  of  water ;  and 
she  went,  and  filled  the  bottle  with  water,  and  gave 

20  the  lad  drink.  And  God  was  with  the  lad,  and  he 
grew;  and  he  dwelt  in  the  wilderness,  and  'became 

21  an  archer.  And  he  dwelt  in  the  wilderness  of 
Pa'ran :  and  his  mother  took  him  a  wife  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time,  that  A-bim'e-lech 
and  Phi'col  the  captain  of  his  host  spake  unto  A'bra- 
him,  saying,  God  is  with  thee  in  all  that  thou  doest : 

23  now  therefore  swear  unto  me  here  by  God  that  thou 
wilt  not  deal  falsely  with  me,  nor  with  ^my  son,  nor 
with  my  son's  son :  but  according  to  the  kindness 
that  I  have  done  unto  thee,  thou  shalt  do  unto  me, 

24  and  to  the  land  wherein  thou  hast  sojourned.     And 

25  A'bra-ham  said,I  will  swear.  AndA'bra-ham  reproved 
A-bim'e-lech  because  of  the  well  of  water,  which 
A-bim'e-lech's  servants  had  violently  taken  away. 

26  And  A-bim'e-lech  said,  I  know  not  who  hath  done  this 
thing :  neither  didst  thou  tell  me,  neither  yet  heard 

27 1  of  it,  but  to-day.  And  A'bra-ham  took  sheep  and 
oxen,  and  gave  them  unto  A-bim'e-lech ;  and  they  two 

28  made  a  covenant.     And  A'bra-ham  set  seven   ewe 

29  lambs  of  the  flock  by  themselves.  And  A-bim'e-lech 
said  unto  A'bra-ham,  What  mean  these  seven  ewe 

30  lambs  which  thou  hast  set  by  themselves  ?  And  he 
said.  These  seven  ewe  lambs  shalt  thou  take  of  my 
hand,  that  it  may  be  a  witness  unto  me,  that  I  have 

31  digged  this  well.  Wherefore  he  called  that  place 
Be'er-she'ba ;  because  there  they  sware  both  of  them. 

32  So  they  made  a  covenant  at  Be'er-she'ba :  and  A-bim'e- 
lech  rose  up,  and  Phi'col  the  captain  of  his  host,  and 

33  they  returned  into  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And 
A'bra-ham  planted  a  tamarisk  tree  in  Be'er-she'ba,  and 
called  there  on  the  name  of  the  Lord,  the   Ever- 

34  lasting  God.  And  A'bra-ham  sojourned  in  the  land 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  many  days. 

«^  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  God 
did  prove  A'bra-ham,  and  said  unto  him,  A'bra-ham ; 

2  and  he  said.  Here  am  I.  And  he  said,  Take  now 
thy  son,  thine  only  son,  whom  thou  lovest,  even 
I'saac,  and  get  thee  into  the  land  of  Mo-ri'ah  ;  and 
offer  him  there  for  a  burnt  offering  upon  one  of  the 

3  mountains  which  I  will  tell  thee  of.  And  A'bra-ham 
rose  early  in  the  morning,  and  saddled  his  ass,  and 
took  two  of  his  young  men  with  him,  and  I'saac  his 
son ;  and  he  clave  the  wood  for  the  burnt  offering, 
and  rose  up,  and  went  unto  the  place  of  which  God 

4  had  told  him.     On  the  third  day  A'bra-ham  lifted 
Sup  his  eyes,  and  saw  the  place  afar  off.     And  A'bra- 
ham  said  unto  his  young  men.  Abide  ye  here  with 
the  ass,  and  I  and  the  lad  will  go  yonder;  and  we 

6  will  worship,  and  come  again  to  you.  And  A'bra- 
ham  took  the  wood  of  the  burnt  offering,  and  laid  it 
upon  I'saac  his  son  ;  and  he  took  in  his  hand  the  fire 
and  the  knife ;  and  they  went  both  of  them  together. 

7  And  I'saac  spake  unto  A'bra-ham  his  father,  and  said. 
My  father :  and  he  said.  Here  am  I,  my  son.  And 
he  said.  Behold,  the  fire  and  the  wood :  but  where 

8 is  the  lamb  for  a  burnt  offering?  And  A'bra-ham 
said,  God  will  ^provide  himself  the  lamb  for  a  burnt 
offering,  my   son  :  so  they   went   both  of  them   to- 

9gether.  And  they  came  to  the  place  which  God 
had  told  him  of;  and  A'bra-ham  built  the  altar 
there,  and  laid  the  wood  in  order,  and  bound  I'saac 
his  son,  and  laid  him  on  the  altar,  upon  the  wood.

10  And  A'bra-ham  stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  took  the 
knife  to  slay  his  son. 

11  And  the  Angel  of  the  Lord  called  unto  him  out  of  heav- 
en, and  said,  A'bra-ham,  A'bra-ham :  and  he  said.  Here  am  I. 

12  And  he  said,-''Lay  not  thine  hand  upon  the  lad,  neither 
do  thou  any  thing  unto  him:  for  "now  I  know  that  thou 
fearest  God,  seeing  thou  hast  not  withheld  thy  son,  thine 
only  sow,  from  me. 

13  And  A'bra-ham  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  looked,  and 
behold,  behind  him  a  ram  caught  in  a  thicket  by  his  horns : 
and  A'bra-ham  went  and  took  the  ram,  and  offered  him  up 
for  a  burnt  offering  in  the  stead  of  his  son. 

14  And  A'bra-ham  called  the  name  of  that  place  ||  Je-ho'- 
vah-ji'reh:  as  it  is  said  to  this  day,  In  the  mount  of  the 
Lord  it  shall  be  seen. 

15  ^And  the  Angel  of  the  Lord  called  unto  A'bra-ham 
out  of  heaven  the  second  time, 

16  And  said,  *By  myself  have  I  sworn,  saith  the  Lord,  for 
because  thou  hast  done  this  thing,  and  hast  not  withheld 
thy  son,  thine  only  son, 

17  That  in  blessing  I  will  bless  thee,  and  in  multiplying  I 
will  multiply  thy  seed  'as  the  stars  of  the  heaven,  and  'as 
the  sand  which  is  upon  the  sea  fshore;  and  'thy  seed  shall 
possess  "the  gate  of  his  enemies ; 

18  "And  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  be 
blessed;  "because  thou  hast  obeyed  my  voice. 

19  So  A'bra-ham  returned  unto  his  young  men,  and  they 
rose  up  and  went  together  to  ''Be'er-she'ba ;  and  A'bra-ham 
dwelt  at  Be'er-she'ba. 

20  ^And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  it  was 
told  A'bra-ham,  saying,  Behold,  'Mil'cah,  she  hath  also  borne 
children  unto  thy  brother  Na'hor; 

21  'Huz  his  firstborn,  and  Buz  his  brother,  and  Kem'u-el 
the  father  'of  A'ram, 

22  And  Che'sed,  and  Ha'zo,  and  Pil'dash,  and  Jid'laph,  and 
Beth'u-el.- 

23  And  'Beth'u-el  begat  "Re-bek'ah :  these  eight  Mil'cah 
did  bear  to  Na'hor,  A'bra-ham's  brother. 

24  And  his  concubine,  whose  name  was  Reu'raah,  she  bare 
also  Te'bah,  and  Ga'ham,  and  Tha'hash,  and  Ma'a-chab. 

CHAPTER   XXIII. 

Age  and  death  of  Sarah— Purchase  of  Machpelah. 

AND  Sa'rah  was  a  hundred  and  seven  and  twenty  years  old : 
thise  were  the  years  of  the  life  of  Sa'rah. 

2  And  Sa'rah  died  in  "Kir'jath-ar'ba;  the  same  is 'He'bron 
in  the  land  of  Ca'naan :  and  A'bra-ham  came  to  mourn  for 
Sa'rah,  and  to  weep  for  her. 

3  ^And  A'bra-ham  stood  up  from  before  his  dead,  and 
spake  unto  the  sons  of  Heth,  saying, 

4  "I  am  a  stranger  and  a  sojourner  with  you:  ''give  me  a 
possession  of  a  buryingplace  with  you,  that  I  may  bury  my 
dead  out  of  my  sight. 

5  And  the  children  of  Heth  answered  A'bra-ham,  saying 
unto  him, 

6  Hear  us,  my  lord:  thou  art  fa  mighty  prince  among 
us :  in  the  choice  of  our  sepulchres  bury  thy  dead ;  none  of 
us  shall  withhold  from  thee  his  sepulchre,  but  that  thou 
mayest  bury  thy  dead. 

7  And  A'bra-ham  stood  up,  and  bowed  himself  to  the 
people  of  the  land,  even  to  the  children  of  Heth. 

8  And  he  communed  with  them,  saying,  If  it  be  your  mind 
that  I  should  bury  my  dead  out  of  my  sight,  hear  me,  and 
entreat  for  me  to  E'phron  the  son  of  Zo'har, 

9  That  he  may  give  me  the  cave  of  Mach-pe'lah,  which  he 
hath,  which  is  in  the  end  of  his  field ;  for  fas  much  money 
as  it  is  worth  he  shall  give  it  me  for  a  possession  of  a  bury- 
ingplace amongst  you. 

10  And  E'phron  dwelt  among  the  children  of  Heth;  and 


10  And  A'bra-ham  stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  took 

11  the  knife  to  slay  his  son.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
called  unto  him  out  of  heaven,  and  said,  A'bra-ham, 

12  A'bra-ham :  and  he  said.  Here  am  I.  And  he  said.  Lay 
not  thine  hand  upon  the  lad,  neither  do  thou  any  thing 
unto  him :  for  now  I  know  that  thou  fearest  God,  seeing 
thou  hast  not  withheld  thy  son,  thine  only  son,  from 

13  me.  And  A'bra-ham  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  looked, 
and  'behcJd,  behind  him  a  ram  caught  in  the  thicket 
by  his  horns :  and  A'bra-ham  went  and  took  the  ram, 
and  offered  him  up  for  a  burnt  offering  in  the  stead 

14  of  his  son.  And  A'bra-ham  called  the  name  of  that 
place  ^Je-ho'vah-ji'reh :  as  it  is  said  to  this  day,  In  the 

15  mount  of  the  Lord  'it  shall  be  provided.  And  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  called  unto  A'bra-ham  a  second 

16  time  out  of  heaven,  and  said.  By  myself  have  I  sworn, 
saith  the  Lord,  because  thou  hast  done  this  thing, 

17 and  hast  not  withheld  thy  son,  thine  only  son:  that 
in  blessing  I  will  bless  thee,  and  in  multiplying  I 
will  multiply  thy  seed  as  the  stars  of  the  heaven,  and 
as  the  sand  which  is  upon  the  sea  shore;  and  thy 

18 seed  shall  possess  the  gate  of  his  enemies;  and  in 
thy  seed  shall  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  ^be  blessed ; 

19  because  thou  hast  obeyed  my  voice.  So  A'bra-ham 
returned  unto  his  young  men,  and  they  rose  up  and 
went  together  to  Be'er-she'ba ;  and  A'bra-ham  dwelt 
at  Be'er-she'ba. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  it  was 
told  A'bra-ham,  saying.  Behold  Mil'cah,  she  also  hath 

21  borne  children  unto  thy  brother  Na'hor;  Uz,  his  first- 
born, and  Buz  his  brother,  and  Kem'u-el  the  father  of 

22  A'ram ;    and  Che'sed,  and  Ha'zo,  and  Pil'dash,  and 

23  Jid'laph,  and  Beth'u-el.  And  Beth'u-el  begat  Re- 
bek'ah:    these  eight  did   Mil'cah    bear  to  Na'hor, 

24  A'bra-ham's  brother.  And  his  concubine,  whose 
name  was  Reu'mah,  she  also  bare  Te'bah,  and  Ga'ham, 
and  Ta'hash,  and  Ma'a-cah. 

^O  And  the  life  of  Sa'rah  was  an  hundred  and  seven 
and  twenty  years :  these  were  the  years  of  the  life  of 

2  Sa'rah.  And  Sa'rah  died  in  Kir'i-ath-ar'ba  (the  same 
is  He'bron),  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan :  and  A'bra-ham 

3  came  to  mourn  for  Sa'rah,  and  to  weep  for  her.  And 
A'bra-ham  rose  up  from  before  his  dead,  and  spake 

4  unto  the  children  of  Heth,  saying,  I  am  a  stranger 
and  a  sojourner  with  you ;  give  me  a  possession  of  a 
buryingplace  with  you,  that  I  may  bury  my  dead 

5  out   of  my  sight.     And  the  children  of  Heth   an- 
Gswered  A'bra-ham,  saying   unto   him,  Hear  us,  my 

lord :  thou  art  'a  mighty  prince  among  us :  in  the 
choice  of  our  sepulchres  bury  thy  dead;  none  of  us 
shall  withhold  from  thee  his  sepulchre,  but  that  thou 

7  mayest  bury  thy  dead.  And  A'bra-ham  rose  up,  and 
bowed  himself  to  the  people  of  the  land,  even  to  the 

8  children  of  Heth.  And  he  communed  with  them, 
saying.  If  it  be  your  mind  that  I  should  bury  my

E'phron  the  Hit'tite  answered  A'bra-ham  in  the  faudience  of 
the  children  of  Heth,  even  of  all  that  ■''went  in  at  the  gate  of 
his  city,  saying, 

11  'Nay,  my  lord,  hear  me :  the  field  give  I  thee,  and  the 
cave  that  is  therein,  I  give  it  thee ;  in  the  presence  of  the 
sons  of  my  people  give  I  it  thee :  bury  thy  dead. 

12  And  A'bra-ham  bowed  down  himself  before  the  people 
of  the  land. 

13  And  he  spake  unto  E'phron  in  the  audience  of  the 
people  of  the  land,  saying,  But  if  thou  wilt  give  it,  I  pray 
thee,  hear  me :  I  will  give  thee  money  for  the  field ;  take  it 
of  me,  and  I  will  bury  my  dead  there. 

14  And  E'phron  answered  A'bra-ham,  saying  unto  him, 

15  My  lord,  hearken  unto  me :  the  land  is  worth  four 
hundred  ''shekels  of  silver ;  what  is  that  betwixt  me  and 
thee?  bury  therefore  thy  dead. 

16  And  A'bra-ham  hearkened  unto  E'phron;  and  A'bra- 
ham  'weighed  to  E'phron  the  silver,  which  he  had  named  in 
the  audience  of  the  sons  of  Heth,  four  hundred  shekels  of 
silver,  current  money  with  the  merchant. 

17  ^And  *the  field  of  E'phron,  which  was  in  Mach-pe'lah, 
which  was  before  Mam're,  the  field,  and  the  cave  which  was 
therein,  and  all  the  trees  that  were  in  the  field,  that  were  in 
all  the  borders  round  about,  were  made  sure 

18  Unto  A'bra-ham  for  a  possession  in  the  presence  of  the 
children  of  Heth,  before  all  that  went  in  at  the  gate  of  his 
city. 

19  And  after  this,  A'bra-ham  buried  Sa'rah  his  wife  in  the 
cave  of  the  field  of  Mach-pe'lah  before  Mam're :  the  same  is 
He'bron  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

20  And  the  field,  and  the  cave  that  is  therein,  'were  made 
sure  unto  A'bra-ham  for  a  possession  of  a  buryingplace  by 
the  sons  of  Heth. 

CHAPTER   XXIV. 

The  marriage  of  Isaac  and  Rebekah, 

AND  A'bra-ham  "was  old,  and  fwell  stricken  in  age :  and 
the  Lord  'had  blessed  A'bra-ham  in  all  things. 

2  And  A'bra-ham  said  "unto  his  eldest  servant  of  his  house, 
that  ''ruled  over  all  that  he  had,  "Put,  I  pray  thee,  thy  hand 
under  my  thigh : 

3  And  I  will  make  thee  •'swear  by  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
heaven,  and  the  God  of  the  earth,  that  "thou  shalt  not  take 
a  wife  unto  my  son  of  the  daughters  of  the  Ca'naan-ites, 
among  whom  I  dwell : 

4  *But  thou  shalt  go  'unto  my  country,  and  to  my  kindred, 
and  take  a  wife  unto  my  son  I'saac. 

6  And  the  servant  said  unto  him,  Peradventure  the  woman 
will  not  be  willing  to  follow  me  unto  this  land :  must  I  needs 
bring  thy  son  again  unto  the  land  from  whence  thou  camest  ? 

6  And  A'bra-ham  said  unto  him.  Beware  thou  that  thou 
bring  not  my  son  thither  again. 

7  ^The  Lord  God  of  heaven,  which  *took  me  from  my 
father's  house,  and  from  the  land  of  my  kindred,  and  which 
spake  unto  me,  and  that  sware  unto  me,  saying,  TJnto  thy 
seed  will  I  give  this  land;  ""he  shall  send  his  angel  before 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  take  a  wife  unto  my  son  from  thence. 

8  And  if  the  woman  will  not  be  willing  to  follow  thee, 
then  "thou  shalt  be  clear  from  this  my  oath :  only  bring 
not  my  son  thither  again. 

9  And  the  servant  put  his  hand  under  the  thigh  of  A'bra- 
ham  his  master,  and  sware  to  him  concerning  that  matter. 

10  ^And  the  servant  took  ten  camels  of  the  camels  of 
his  master,  and  departed;  "H  for  all  the  goods  of  his  master 
were  in  his  hand :  and  he  arose,  and  went  to  Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a, 
unto  "the  city  of  Na'hor. 

11  And  he  made  his  camels  to  kneel  down  without  the 
city  by  a  well  of  water  at  the  time  of  the  evening,  even  the 
time  t'that  women  go  out  to  draw  water : 


E'phron   the   Hit'tite  answered    A'bra-ham   in   the 
audience  of  the  children  of  Heth,  even  of  all  that 

11  went  in  at  the  gate  of  his  city,  saying.  Nay,  my 
lord,  hear  me :  the  field  give  I  thee,  and  the  cave 
that  is  therein,  I  give  it  thee;  in  the  presence  of 
the  sons  of  my  people  give   I   it  thee :    bury  thy 

12  dead.     And  A'bra-ham  bowed  himself  down  before 

13  the  people  of  the  land.  And  he  spake  unto  E'phron 
in  the  audience  of  the  people  of  the  land,  saying, 
But  if  thou  wilt,  I  pray  thee,  hear  me :  I  will  give 
the  price  of  the  field ;  take  it  of  me,  and  I  will  bury 

14  my  dead  there.     And  E'phron  answered  A'bra-ham, 

15  saying  unto  him.  My  lord,  hearken  unto  me :  a  piece 
of  land  worth  four  hundred  shekels  of  silver,  what 
is   that  betwixt   me  and  thee?   bury  therefore  thy 

16  dead.  And  A'bra-ham  hearkened  unto  E'phron ;  and 
A'bra-ham  weighed  to  E'phron  the  silver,  which  he 
had  named  in  the  audience  of  the  children  of  Heth, 
four  hundred  shekels  of  silver,  current  money  with 

17  the  merchant.  So  the  field  of  E'phron,  which  was 
in  Mach-pe'lah,  which  was  before  Mam're,  the  field, 
and  the  cave  which  was  therein,  and  all  the  trees 
that  were  in  the  field,  that  were  in  all  the  border 

18  thereof  round  about,  were  made  sure  unto  A'bra-ham 
for  a  possession  in  the  presence  of  the  children  of 
Heth,  before  all  that  went  in  at  the  gate  of  his  city. 

19  And  after  this,  A'bra-ham  buried  Sa'rah  his  wife  in  the 
cave  of  the  field  of  Mach-pe'lah  before  Mam're  (the 

20  same  is  He'bron),  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan.  And  the 
field,  and  the  cave  that  is  therein,  were  made  sure 
unto  A'bra-ham  for  a  possession  of  a  buryingplace  by 
the  children  of  Heth. 

^'*  And  A'bra-ham  was  old,  and  well  stricken  in  age : 
and  the  Lord  had  blessed  A'bra-ham  in  all  things. 

2  And  A'bra-ham  said  unto  his  servant,  the  elder  of  his 
house,  that  ruled  over  all  that  he  had.  Put,  I  pray 

3  thee,  thy  hand  under  my  thigh :  and  I  will  make 
thee  swear  by  the  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven  and  the 
God  of  the  earth,  that  thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife  for 
my  son  of  the  daughters  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  among 

4  whom  I  dwell :  but  thou  shalt  go  unto  my  country, 
and  to  my  kindred,  and  take  a  wife  for  my  son  I'saac. 

5  And  the  servant  said  unto  him,  Peradventure  the 
woman  will  not  be  willing  to  follow  me  unto  this 
land :  must  I  needs  bring  thy  son  again  unto   the 

6 land  from  whence  thou  camest?  And  A'bra-ham 
said  unto  him.  Beware  thou  that  thou  bring  not  my 

7  son  thither  again.  The  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven, 
that  took  me  from  my  father's  house,  and  from  the 
land  of  my  nativity,  and  that  spake  unto  me,  and 
that  sware  unto  me,  saying.  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give 
this  land;  he  shall  send  his  angel  before  thee,  and 

8  thou  shalt  take  a  wife  for  my  son  from  thence.  And 
if  the  woman  be  not  willing  to  follow  thee,  then  thou 
shalt  be  clear  from  this  my  oath ;    only   thou  shalt 

9  not  bring  my  son  thither  again.  And  the  servant 
put  his  hand  under  the  thigh  of  A'bra-ham  his 
master,  and  sware  to  him  concerning  this  matter. 

10  And  the  servant  took  ten  camels,  of  the  camels 
of  his  master,  and  departed;  'having  all  goodly 
things  of  his  master's  in  his  hand :  and  he  arose, 
and  went  to  ^Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a,  unto  the  city  of  Na'- 

llhor.  And  he  made  the  camels  to  kneel  down 
without  the  city  by  the  well  of  water  at  the  time  of 
evening,  the  time  that  women  go  out  to  draw  water.

12  And  he  said,  ''O  Lord  God  of  my  master  A'bra-ham,  I 
pray  fehee,  'send  me  good  speed  this  day,  and  shew  kind- 
ness unto  my  master  A'bra-ham. 

13  Behold,  'I  stand  here  by  the  well  of  water ;  and  "the 
daughters  of  the  men  of  the  city  come  out  to  draw  water  : 

14  And  let  it  come  to  pass,  that  the  damsel  to  whom  I 
shall  say,  Let  down  thy  pitcher,  I  pray  thee,  that  I  may 
drink ;  and  she  shall  say,  Drink,  and  I  will  give  thy  camels 
drink  also  :  let  the  same  be  she  that  thou  hast  appointed  for 
thy  servant  I'saac ;  and  "thereby  shall  I  know  that  thou 
hast  shewed  kindness  unto  my  master. 

15  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  before  he  had  done  speaking, 
that,  behold,  Re-bek'ah  came  out,  who  was  born  to  Beth'u-el, 
son  of  ^Mil'cah,  the  wife  of  Nn'lior,  A'bra-ham's  brother, 
with  her  pitcher  upon  her  shoulder. 

16  And  the  damsel  "was  fvery  fair  to  look  upon,  a  virgin, 
neither  had  any  man  known  her :  and  she  went  down  to 
the  well,  and  filled  her  pitcher,  and  came  up. 

17  And  the  servant  ran  to  meet  her,  and  said.  Let  me,  I 
pray  thee,  drink  a  little  water  of  thy  pitcher. 

18  ^And  she  said,  Drink,  my  lord :  and  she  hasted,  and 
let  down  her  pitcher  upon  her  hand,  and  gave  him  drink. 

19  And  when  she  had  done  giving  him  drink,  she  said,  I 
will  draw  water  for  thy  camels  also,  until  they  have  done 
drinking. 

20  And  she  hasted,  and  emptied  her  pitcher  into  the 
trough,  and  ran  again  unto  the  well  to  draw  water,  and 
drew  for  all  his  camels. 

21  And  the  man  wondering  at  her  held  his  peace,  to  wit 
whether  "the  Lord  had  made  his  journey  prosperous  or  not. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  camels  had  done  drinking, 
that  the  man  took  a  golden  'H  earring  of  half  a  shekel  weight, 
and  two  bracelets  for  her  hands  often  shekels  weight  of  gold ; 

23  And  said.  Whose  daughter  art  thou  ?  tell  me,  I  pray  thee : 
is  there  room  in  thy  father's  house  for  us  to  lodge  in? 

24  And  she  said  unto  him,  '^I  am  the  daughter  of  Beth'u-el 
the  son  of  Mil'cah,  which  she  bare  unto  Na'hor. 

25  She  said  moreover  unto  him.  We  have  both  straw  and 
provender  enough,  and  room  to  lodge  in. 

26  And  the  man  ''bowed  down  his  head,  and  worshipped 
the  Lord. 

27  And  he  said,  'Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  my  master 
A'bra-ham,  who  hath  not  left  destitute  my  master  of  ■'^his 
mercy  and  his  truth :  I  being  in  the  way,  the  Lord  'led  me 
to  the  house  of  my  master's  brethren. 

28  And  the  damsel  ran,  and  told  them  of  her  mother's 
house  these  things. 

29  ^And  Re-bek'ah  had  a  brother,  and  his  name  was 
''La'ban :  and  La'ban  ran  out  unto  the  man,  unto  the  well. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  saw  the  earring,  and 
bracelets  upon  his  sister's  hands,  and  when  he  heard  the 
words  of  Re-bek'ah  his  sister,  saying,  Thus  spake  the  man 
unto  me,  that  he  came  unto  the  man ;  and,  behold,  he 
stood  by  the  camels  at  the  well. 

31  And  he  said.  Come  in,  *thou  blessed  of  the  Lord; 
wherefore  standest  thou  without?  for  I  have  prepared  the 
house,  and  room  for  the  camels. 

32  ^And  the  man  came  into  the  house :  and  he  ungirded 
his  camels,  and  'gave  straw  and  provender  for  the  camels, 
and  water  to  wash  his  feet,  and  the  men's  feet  that  were 
with  him. 

33  And  there  was  set  meat  before  him  to  eat :  but  he  said, 
'I  will  not  eat,  until  I  have  told  mine  errand.  And  he  said. 
Speak  on. 

34  And  he  said,  I  am  A'bra-ham's  servant. 

35  And  the  Lord  "hath  blessed  my  master  greatly,  and 
he  is  become  great :  and  he  hath  given  him  flocks,  and 
herds,  and  silver,  and  gold,  and  menservants,  and  maid- 
servants, and  camels,  and  asses. 


12  And  he  said,  O  Lord,  the  God  of  my  master 
A'bra-ham,  send  me,  I  pray  thee,  good  speed  this 
day,   and   shew   kindness   unto    my   master    A'bra- 

13 ham.  Behold,  I  stand  by  the  fountain  of  water; 
and   the  daughters   of  the  men   of  the  city  come 

14 out  to  draw  water:  and  let  it  come  to  pass,  that 
the  damsel  to  whom  I  shall  say.  Let  down  thy 
pitcher,  I  pray  thee,  that  I  may  drink ;  and  she 
shall  say,  Drink,  and  I  will  give  thy  camels  drink 
also :  let  the  same  be  she  that  thou  hast  appointed 
for  thy  servant  I'saac ;  and  thereby  shall  I  know  that 

1 5  thou  hast  shewed  kindness  unto  my  master.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  before  he  had  done  speaking,  that,  be- 
hold, Re-bek'ah  came  out,  who  was  born  to  Beth'u-el 
the  son  of  Mil'cah,  the  wife  of  Na'hor,  A'bra-ham's 

16brothp'-,  with  her  pitcher  upon  her  shoulder.  And 
the  damsel  was  very  fair  to  look  upon,  a  virgin, 
neither  had  any  man  known  her :  and  she  went  down 
to  the  fountain,  and  filled  her  pitcher,  and  came  up. 

17  And  the  servant  ran  to  meet  hery  and  said,  Give  me 
to  drink,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  of  thy  pitcher. 

18  And  she  said.  Drink,  my  lord  :  and  she  hasted,  and 
let  down  her  pitcher  upon  her  hand,  and  gave  him 

19  drink.  And  when  she  had  done  giving  him  drink, 
she  said,  I  will  draw  for  thy  camels  also,  until  they 

20  have  done  drinking.  And  she  hasted,  and  emptied 
her  pitcher  into  the  trough,  and  ran  again  unto  the 

21  well  to  draw,  and  drew  for  all  his  camels.  And  the 
man  looked  steadfastly  on  her;  holding  his  peace,  to 
know  whether  the  Lord  had  made  his  journey  pros- 

22  perous  or  not.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  camels 
had  done  driuking,  that  the  man  took  a  golden  ring 
of  'half  a  shekel  weight,  and  two  bracelets  for  her 

23 hands  of  ten  shekels  weight  of  gold;  and  said. 
Whose  daughter  art  thou  ?  tell  me,  I  pray  thee.  Is 
there  room  in  thy  father's  house  for  us  to  lodge  in  ? 

24  And  she  said  unto  him,  I  am  the  daughter  of 
Beth'u-el  the  son  of  Mil'cah,  which  she  bare  unto 

25  Na'hor.  She  said  moreover  unto  him.  We  have  both 
straw  and  provender  enough,  and  room  to  lodge  in. 

26  And  the  man  bowed  his  head,  and  worshipped  the 

27  Lord.  And  he  said,  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  my  master  A'bra-ham,  who  hath  not  forsaken  his 
mercy  and  his  truth  toward  my  master  :  as  for  me, 
the  Lord  hath  led  me  in  the  way  to  the  house  of 

28  my  master's  brethren.     And  the  damsel  ran,  and  told 

29  her  mother's  house  according  to  these  words.  And 
Re-bek'ah  had  a  brother,  and  his  name  was  La'ban  : 
and  La'ban  ran  out  unto  the  man,  unto  the  fountain. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  saw  the  ring,  and  the 
bracelets  upon  his  sister's  hands,  and  when  he  heard 
the  words  of  Re-bek'ah  his  sister,  saying.  Thus  spake 
the  man  unto  me ;  that  he  came  unto  the  man ;  and, 

31  behold,  he  stood  by  the  camels  at  the  fountain.  And 
he  said,  Come  in,  thou  blessed  of  the  Lord  ;  where- 
fore standest  thou  without  ?  for  I  have  prepared  the 

32  house,  and  room  for  the  camels.  And  the  man  came 
into  the  house,  and  he  ungirded  the  camels ;  and  he 
gave  straw  and  provender  for  the  camels,  and  water 
to  wash  his  feet  and  the  men's  feet  that  were  with 

33  him.  And  there  was  set  meat  before  him  to  eat :  but 
he  said,  I  will  not  eat,  until  I  have  told  mine  errand. 

34  And  he  said.  Speak  on.     And  he  said,  I  am  A'bra- 

35  ham's  servant.  And  the  Lord  hath  blessed  my 
master  greatly ;  and  he  is  become  great :  and  he  hath 
given  him  flocks  and  herds,  and  silver  and  gold,  and 
menservants  and  maidservants,  and  camels  and  asses.

36  And  Sa'rah  my  master's  wife  "bare  a  son  to  my  master 
when  she  was  old :  and  "unto  him  hath  he  given  all  that  he 
hath. 

37  And  my  master  ''made  me  swear,  saying,  Thou  shalt 
not  take  a  wife  to  my  son  of  the  daughters  of  the  Ca'naan- 
ites,  in  whose  land  I  dwell : 

38  'But  thou  shalt  go  unto  my  father's  house,  and  to  my 
kindred,  and  take  a  wife  unto  my  son. 

39  ""And  I  said  unto  my  master,  Peradventure  the  woman 
will  not  follow  me. 

40  'And  he  said  unto  me.  The  Lord,  'before  whom  I  walk, 
will  send  his  angel  with  thee,  and  prosper  thy  way ;  and  thou 
shalt  take  a  wife  for  my  son  of  my  kindred,  and  of  my 
father's  house : 

41  "Then  shalt  thou  be  clear  from  this  my  oath,  when  thou 
comest  to  my  kindred ;  and  if  they  give  not  thee  one,  thou 
shalt  be  clear  from  my  oath. 

42  And  I  came  this  day  unto  the  well,  and  said,  "O  Lord 
God  of  my  master  A'bra-ham,  if  now  thou  do  prosper  my 
way  which  I  go  : 

43  ^Behold,  I  stand  by  the  well  of  water ;  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  when  the  virgin  cometh  forth  to  draw  water, 
and  I  say  to  her,  Give  me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  of  thy 
pitcher  to  drink ; 

44  And  she  say  to  me.  Both  drink  thou,  and  I  will  also 
draw  for  thy  camels :  let  the  same  be  the  woman  whom  the 
Lord  hath  appointed  out  for  my  master's  son. 

45  'And  before  I  had  done  'speaking  in  mine  heart,  behold, 
Re-bek'ah  came  forth  with  her  pitcher  on  her  shoulder ;  and 
she  went  down  unto  the  well,  and  drew  water;  and  I  said 
unto  her,  Let  me  drink,  I  pray  thee. 

46  And  she  made  haste,  and  let  down  her  pitcher  from  her 
shoulder,  and  said,  Drink,  and  I  will  give  thy  camels  drink 
also :  so  I  drank,  and  she  made  the  camels  drink  also. 

47  And  I  asked  her,  and  said,  Whose  daughter  art  thou  ? 
And  she  said,  The  daughter  of  Beth'u-el,  Na'hor's  son,  whom 
Mil'cah  bare  unto  him:  and  I  "put  the  earring  upon  her 
face,  and  the  bracelets  upon  her  hands. 

48  'And  I  bowed  down  my  head,  and  worshipped  the 
Lord,  and  blessed  the  Lord  God  of  my  master  A'bra-ham, 
which  had  led  me  in  the  right  way  to  take  "my  master's 
brother's  daughter  unto  his  son. 

49  And  now,  if  ye  will  ''deal  kindly  and  truly  with  my  mas- 
ter, tell  me :  and  if  not,  tell  me ;  that  I  may  turn  to  the  right 
hand,  or  to  the  left. 

50  Then  La'ban  and  Beth'u-el  answered  and  said,*The  thing 
proceedeth  from  the  Lord  :  we  cannot  -^speak  unto  thee  bad 
or  good. 

51  Behold,  Re-bek'ah  'is  before  thee ;  take  her,  and  go,  and 
let  her  be  thy  master's  son's  wife,  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken. 

52  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,'  when  A'bra-hara's  servant 
heard  their  words,  he  "worshipped  the  Lord,  bowing  himself 
to  the  earth. 

53  And  the  servant  brought  forth  fjewels  of  silver,  and 
jewels  of  gold,  and  raiment,  and  gave  them  to  Re-bek'ah :  he 
gave  also  to  her  brother  and  to  her  mother  ^precious  things. 

54  And  they  did  eat  and  drink,  he  and  the  men  that  were 
with  him,  and  tarried  all  night ;  and  they  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  he  said,  'Send  me  away  unto  my  master. 

55  And  her  brother  and  her  mother  said.  Let  the  damsel 
abide  with  us  ||  a  few  days,  at  the  least  ten;  after  that  she 
shall  go. 

56  And  he  said  unto  them.  Hinder  me  not,  seeing  the 
Lord  hath  prospered  my  way ;  send  me  away  that  I  may  go 
to  my  master. 

57  And  they  said.  We  will  call  the  damsel,  and  inquire  at 
her  mouth. 

58  And  they  called  Re-bek'ah,  and  said  unto  her,  Wilt  thou 
go  with  this  man?     And  she  said,  I  will  go. 


36  And  Sa'rah  my  master's  wife  bare  a  son  to  ray  master 
when  she  was  old :  and  unto  him  hath  he  given  all 

37  that  he  hath.  And  my  master  made  me  swear,  say- 
ing. Thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife  for  my  son  of  the 
daughters  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  in  whose  land  I  dwell : 

38  but  thou  shalt  go  unto  my  father's  house,  and  to  my 

39  kindred,  and  take  a  wife  for  my  son.  Aiid  I  said 
unto  my  master,  Peradventure  the  woman  will  not 

40  follow  me.  And  he  said  unto  me.  The  Lord,  before 
whom  I  walk,  will  send  his  angel  with  thee,  and 
prosper  thy  way ;  and  thou  shalt  take  a  wife  for  my 

41  son  of  my  kindred,  and  of  my  father's  house :  then 
shalf  thou  be  clear  from  my  oath,  when  thou  comest 
to  my  kindred ;   and  if  they  give  her  not  to  thee, 

42  thou  shalt  be  clear  from  my  oath.  And  I  came  this 
day  unto  the  fountain,  and  said,  O  Lord,  the  God  of 
my  master  A'bra-ham,  if  now  thou  do  prosper  my 

43  — V  which  I  go :  behold,  I  stand  by  the  fountain  of 
V  iter ;  and  let  it  come  to  pass,  that  the  maiden  which 
Cometh  forth  to  draw,  to  whom  I  shall  say.  Give  me, 
I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  of  thy  pitcher  to  drink  ; 

44  and  she  shall  say  to  me.  Both  drink  thou,  anc.  I  will 
also  draw  for  thy  camels :  let  the  same  be  the  woman 
whom  the  Lord  hath  appointed  for  my  master's  son. 

45  And  before  I  had  done  speaking  in  E^!ue  heart,  bo- 
hold,  Re-bek'ah  came  forth  with  her  pitcher  on  her 
shoulder ;  and  she  went  down  unto  the  fountain,  and 
drew:    and  I  said  unto  her.  Let   me  drink,  I   pray 

46  thee.  And  she  made  haste,  and  let  down  her  pitcher 
from  her  shoulder,  and  said,  Drink  and  I  will  give 
thy  camels  drink  also :  so  I  drank,  and  she  made  the 

47  camels  drink  also.  And  I  asked  her,  and  said, 
Whose  daughter  art  thou  ?  And  she  said,  The 
daughter  of  Beth'u-el,  Na'hor's  son,  whom  Mil'cah 
bare  unto  him;  and  I  put  the  ring  upon  her  nose, 

48  and  the  bracelets  upon  her  hands.  And  I  bowed  my 
head,  and  worshipped  the  Lord,  and  blessed  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  my  master  A'bra-ham,  which  had 
led  me  in  the  right  way  to  take  my  master's  brother's 

49  daughter  for  his  son.  And  now  if  ye  will  deal 
kindly  and  truly  with  my  master,  tell  me :  and  if 
not,  tell  me;  that  I  may  turn  to  the  right  hand,  or 

50  to  the  -  ift.  Then  La'ban  and  Beth'u-el  answered  and 
said.  The  thing  proceedeth  from  the  Lord  :  we  can- 

51  rn  t  speak  unto  thee  bad  or  good.  Behold,  Re-bek'ah 
is  before  thee,  take  her,  and  go,  and  let  her  be  thy 

52  master's  son's  wife,  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  A'bra-ham's  servant  heard 
their   words,  "he  bowed   himself  down  to  the  earth 

53  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  servant  brought  forth 
jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels  of  gold,  and  raiment, 
and  gave  them  to  Re-bek'ah ;    he  gave  also  to  her 

54  brother  and  to  her  mother  precious  things.  And 
they  did  eat  and  drink,  he  and  the  men  that  were 
with  him,  and  tarried  all  nigl*^ :  and  they  rose  up  in 
the  morning,  and    he    said.   Send    me    away    unto 

55  my  master.  And  her  brother  and  her  mother 
said,  Let   the   damsel    abide   with    us  a  few  days, 

56 at  the  least  ten;  after  that  she  shall  go.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  Hinder  mc  not,  seeing  the 
Lord   hath    prospered  my    way;    send    me    away 

57  that  I  may  go  to  my  master.  And  they  said. 
We  will  call  the  damsel  and  inquire  at  her   mouth. 

58  And  they  called  Re-bek'ah,  and  said  unto  her,  Wilt 
thou  go  with  this  man?    And  she  said,  I  will  go.

59  And  they  sent  away  E,e-bek'ah  their  sister,  and  "her 
nurse,  and  A'bra-ham's  servant,  and  his  men. 

60  And  they  blessed  Re-bek'ah,  and  said  unto  her,  Thou 
art  our  sister ;  be  thou  "the  mother  of  thousands  of  mill- 
ions, and  "let  thy  seed  possess  the  gate  of  those  which 
hate  them. 

61  ^And  Re-bek'ah  arose,  and  her  damsels,  and  they  rode 
upon  the  camels,  and  followed  the  man :  and  the  servant 
took  Re-bek'ah,  and  went  his  way. 

62  And  I'saac  came  from  the  way  of  the  "well  La-hai'-roi ; 
for  he  dwelt  in  the  south  country. 

63  And  I'saac  went  out  ||'to  meditate  in  the  field  at  the 
eventide :  and  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw,  and,  behold, 
the  camels  were  coming. 

64  And  Re-bek'ah  lifted  up  her  eyes,  and  when  she  saw 
I'saac,  'she  lighted  off  the  camel. 

65  For  she  had  said  unto  the  servant.  What  man  is  this  that 
walketh  in  the  field  to  meet  us  ?  And  the  servant  had  said. 
It  is  my  master  :  therefore  she  took  a  veil,and  covered  herself. 

66  And  the  servant  told  I'saac  all  things  that  he  had  done. 

67  And  I'saac  brought  her  into  his  mother  Sa'rah's  tent,  and 
took  Re-bek'ah,  and  she  became  his  wife ;  and  he  loved  her : 
and  I'saac  'was  comforted  after  his  mother's  death. 

CHAPTER  XXV. 

Generations  of  Ishmael— Birth  of  Esau  and  Jacob — Esau's  birthright. 

THEN  again  A'bra-ham  took  a  wife,  and  her  name  toas 
Ke-tu'rah. 

2  And  "she  bare  him  Zim'ran,  and  Jok'shan,  and  Me'dan, 
and  Mid'i-an,and  Ish'bak,  and  Shu'ah. 

3  And  Jok'shan  begat  She'ba,  and  De'dan.  And  the  sons 
of  De'dan  were  As-shu'rim,  and  Le-tu'shim,  and-Le-um'raim. 

4  And  the  sons  of  Mid'i-an  ;  E'phah,  and  E'pher,  and  Ha'- 
noch,  and  A-bi'dah,  and  El-da'ah.  All  these  were  the  children 
of  Ke-tu'rah. 

5  ^And  ''A'bra-ham  gave  all  that  he  had  unto  I'.saac. 

6  But  unto  the  sons  of  the  concubines,  which  A'bra-ham 
had,  A'bra-ham  gave  gifts,  and  ''sent  them  away  from  I'saac 
his  son,  while  he  yet  lived,  eastward,  unto  ''the  east  country. 

7  And  these  are  the  days  of  the  years  of  A'braham's  life 
which  he  lived,  a  hundred  threescore  and  fifteen  years. 

8  Then  A'bra-ham  gave  up  the  ghost,  and  ^died  in  a  good 
old  age,  an  old  man,  and  full  of  years ;  and  -^was  gathered 
to  his  people. 

9  And  "his  sons  I'saac  and  Ish'ma-el  buried  him  in  the  cave 
of  Mach-pe'lah,  in  the  field  of  E'phron  the  son  of  Zo'har  the 
Hit'tite,  which  is  before  Mam're ; 

10  'The  field  which  A'bra-ham  purchased  of  the  sons  of 
Heth :  'there  was  A'bra-ham  buried,  and  Sar'ah  his  wife. 

11  l[And  it  came  to  pass  after  the  death  of  A'bra-ham,  that 
God  blessed  his  son  I'saac ;  and  I'saac  dwelt  by  the  *well 
La-hai'-roi. 

12  T[Now  these  are  the  generations  of  Ish'ma-el,  A'bra- 
ham's  son,  'whom  Ha'gar  the  E-gyp'tian,  Sa'rah's  handmaid, 
bare  unto  A'bra-ham : 

13  And  "these  are  the  names  of  the  sons  of  Ish'ma-el,  by 
their  names,  according  to  their  generations  :  the  firstborn  of 
Ish'ma-eljNe-ba'joth;  and  Ke'dar,and  Ad'be-el,  and  Mib'sam, 

14  And  Mish'ma,  and  Du'mah,  and  Mas'sa, 

15  II  Ha'dar,  and  Te'ma,  Je'tur,  Na'phish,  and  Ked'e-mah : 

16  These  are  the  sons  of  Ish'ma-el,  and  these  are  their 
names,  by  their  towns,  and  by  their  castles ;  "twelve  princes 
according  to  their  nations. 

17  And  these  are  the  years  of  the  life  of  Ish'ma-el,  a 
hundred  and  thirty  and  seven  years :  and  he  "gave  up  the 
ghost  and  died,  and  was  gathered  unto  his  people. 

18  "And  they  dwelt  from  Hav'i-lah  unto  Shur,  that  is  before 
E'gypt,  as  thou  goest  toward  As-syr'i-a  :  and  he  fdied  "in  the 

ipresence  of  all  his  brethren. 


59  And  they  sent  away  Re-bek'ah  their  sister,  and 
her   nurse,  and  A'bra-ham's   servant,  and   his  men. 

60  And  they  blessed  Re-bek'ah,  and  said  unto  her.  Our 
sister,  be  thou  the  mother  of  thousands  of  ten  thou- 
sands, and  let  thy   seed   possess   the   gate   of  those 

61  which  hate  them.  And  Re-bek'ah  arose,  and  her 
damsels,  and  they  rode  upon  the  camels,  and  fol- 
lowed the  man  :  and  the  servant  took  Re-bek'ah,  and 

62  went  his  way.  And  I'saac  came  'from  the  way  of 
Be'er-la-hai'-roi ;  for  he  dwelt  in  the  land  of  the  South. 

63  And  I'saac  went  out  to  meditate  in  the  field  at  the 
eventide :  and  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw,  and, 

64  behold,  there  were  camels  coming.  And  Re-bek'ah 
lifted  up   her  eyes,  and   when   she  saw   I'saac,  she 

65  lighted  off  the  camel.  And  she  said  unto  the  serv- 
ant, What  man  is  this  that  walketh  in  the  field  to 
meet  us  ?     And  the  servant  said.  It  is  my  master : 

66  and  she  took  her  veil,  and  covered  herself.  And 
the  servant  told  I'saac  all  the  things  that  he  had  done. 

67  And  I'saac  brought  her  into  his  mother  Sa'rah's  tent, 
and  took  Re-bek'ah,  and  she  became  his  wife ;  and  he 
loved  her :  and  I'saac  was  comforted  after  his  mother's 
death. 

'^O     And  A'bra-ham  took  another  wife,  and  her  name 

2  was  Ke-tu'rah.  And  she  bare  him  Zim'ran,  and  Jok'- 
shan, and  Me'dan,  and  Mid'i-an,  and  Ish'bak,  and 

3  Shu'ah.  And  Jok'shan  begat  She'ba,  and  De'dan. 
And  the  sons  of  De'dan  were  As-shu'rim,  and  Le=tu'- 

4  shim,  and  Le-um'mim.  And  the  sons  of  Mid'i-an  ; 
E'phah,  and  E'pher,  and  Ha'noch,  and  A-bi'da,  and 
El-da'ah.     All  these  were  the  children  of  Ke-tu'rah. 

5  And  A'bra-ham  gave  all  that  he  had  unto  I'saac. 

6  But  unto  the  sons  of  the  concubines,  which  A'bra-ham 
had,  A'bra-ham  gave  gifts ;  and  he  sent  them  away 
from  I'saac  his  son,  while  he  yet   lived,  eastward, 

7  unto  the  east  country.  And  these  are  the  days  of 
the  years  of  A'bra-ham's  life  which  he  lived,  an  hun- 

Sdred  threescore  and  Mt&.n  years.  And  A'bra-ham 
gave  up  the  ghost,  and  died  in  a  good  old  age,  an 
old  man,  and  full  of  years ;  and  was  gathered  to  his 

9  people.  And  I'saac  and  Ish'ma-el  his  sons  buried  him 
in  the  cave  of  Mach-pe'lah,  in  the  field  of  E'phron  the 
son  of  Zo'har  the  Hit'tite,  which  is  before  Mam're ; 

10  the  field  which  A'bra-ham  pui-chased  of  the  children 
of  Heth :  there  was  A'bra-ham  buried,  and  Sa'rah  his 

11  wife.  And  it  came  to  pass  after  the  death  of  A'bra- 
ham,  that  God  blessed  I'saac  his  son ;  and  I'saac 
dwelt  by  Be'er-la-hai'-roi. 

12  Now  these  are  the  generations  of  Ish'ma-el,  A'bra- 
ham's  son,whom  Ha'gar  the  E-gyp'tian,  Sa'rah's  hand- 

13  maid,  bare  unto  A'bra-ham  :  and  these  are  the  names  of 
the  sons  of  Ish'ma-el,  by  their  names,according  to  their 
generations:   the  firstborn  of  Ish'ma-el,  Ne-ba'ioth; 

14  and  Ke'dar,  and  Ad'be-el,  and  Mib'sam,  and  Mish'ma, 
15and  Du'mah,  and  Mas'sa  :  Ha'dad,  and  Te'ma,  Je'tur, 

16  Na'phish,  and  Ked'e-mah  :  these  are  the  sons  of  Ish'- 
ma-el, and  these  are  their  names,  by  their  villages, 
and  by  their  encampments ;  twelve  princes  according 

17  to  their  nations.  And  these  are  the  years  of  the  life 
of  Ish'ma-el,  an  hundred  and  thirty  and  seven  years  : 
and  he  gave  up  the  ghost  and  died;  and  was  gathered 

18  unto  his  people.  And  they  dwelt  from  Hav'i-lah  unto 
Shur  that  is  before  E'gypt,  as  thou  goest  toward  As- 
syr'i-a  :  he  ^abode  'in  the  presence  of  all  his  brethren.

19  ^And  these  are  the  generations  of  I'saac,  A'bra-ham's 
son  :  ''A'bra-ham  begat  I'saac  : 

20  And  I'saac  was  forty  years  old  when  he  took  Re-bek'ah 
to  wife,'the  daughter  of  Beth'u-el  the  Syr'i-an  of  Pa'dan-a'ram, 
'the  sister  to  La'ban  the  Syr'i-an. 

21  And  I'saac  entreated  the  Loed  for  his  wife,  because  she 
toas  barren:  "and  the  Loed  was  entreated  of  him,  and  ""Re- 
bek'ah  his  wife  conceived. 

22  And  the  children  struggled  together  within  her ;  and 
she  said,  If  it  be  so,  why  am  I  thus?  ''And  she  went  to 
inquire  of  the  Loed. 

23  And  the  Lokd  said  unto  her,  "Two  nations  are  in  thy 
womb,  and  two  manner  of  people  shall  be  separated  from 
thy  bowels;  and  Hhe  one  people  shall  be  stronger  than  the 
oiAcr  people ;  and  "the  elder  shall  serve  the  younger. 

24  ^And  when  her  days  to  be  delivered  were  fulfilled,  be- 
hold, there  were  twins  in  her  womb. 

25  And  the  first  came  out  red,  ''all  over  like  a  hairy  gar- 
ment ;  and  they  called  his  name  E'sau. 

26  And  after  that  came  his  brother  out,  and  "his  hand  took 
hold  on  E'sau's  heel ;  and  his  name  was  called  Ja'cob :  and 
I'saac  was  threescore  years  old  when  she  bare  them. 

27  And  the  boys  grew  :  and  E'sau  was  *a  cunning  hunter, 
a  man  of  the  field;  and  Ja'cob  ^vas-^a  plain  man,  'dwelling 
in  tents. 

28  And  I'saac  loved  E'sau,  because  fhe  did  ''eat  of  his 
venison :  'Tjut  Re-bek'ah  loved  Ja'cob. 

29  ^And  Ja'cob  sod  pottage :  and  E'sau  came  from  the 
field,  and  he  was  faint : 

30  And  E'sau  said  to  Ja'cob,  Feed  me,  I  pray  thee,  fwith 
that  same  red  pottage;  for  I  am  faint:  therefore  was  his 
name  called  ||E'dora. 

31  And  Ja'cob  said.  Sell  me  this  day  thy  birthright. 

32  And  E'sau  said.  Behold,  I  am  fat  the  point  to  die  :  and 
what  profit  shall  this  birthright  do  to  me? 

33  And  Ja'cob  said.  Swear  to  me  this  day ;  and  he  sware 
unto  him :  and  *he  sold  his  birthright  unto  Ja'cob. 

34  Then  Ja'cob  gave  E'sau  bread  and  pottage  of  lentiles; 
and  "he  diJ  eat  and  drink,  and  rose  up,  and  went  his  way : 
thus  E'sau  despised  his  bJrthright. 

CHAPTER  XXVI. 

Isaac  goeth  to  Gerar—Abimelech* s  covenant  with  him  at  Beer-sheba. 

AND  there  was  a  famine  in  the  land,  besides  "the   first 
famine  that  was  in  the  days  of  A'bra-ham.     And  I'saac 
went  unto  ''A'bim'e-lech  king  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  unto  Ge'rar. 

2  And  the  Loed  appeared  unto  him,  and  said,  Go  not  down 
into  E'gypt;  dwell  in  "the  land  which  I  shall  tell  thee  of. 

3  ''Sojourn  in  this  land,  and  *I  will  be  with  thee,  and -^will 
bless  thee ;  for  unto  thee,  and  unto  thy  seed,  "I  will  give  all 
these  countries,  and  I  will  perform  Hhe  oath  which  I  sware 
unto  A'bra-ham  thy  father ; 

4  And  *I  will  make  thy  seed  to  multiply  as  the  stars  of 
heaven,  and  will  give  unto  thy  seed  all  these  countries ;  ''and 
in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  be  blessed : 

5  'Because  that  A'bra-ham  obeyed  my  voice,  and  kept  my 
charge,  my  commandments,  my  statutes,  and  my  laws. 

6  51  And  I'saac  dwelt  in  Ge'rar. 

7  And  the  men  of  the  place  asked  him  of  his  wife ;  and 
"he  said.  She  is  my  sister:  for  "he  feared  to  say,  She  is  my 
wife ;  lest,  said  he,  the  men  of  the  place  should  kill  me  for 
Re-bek'ah ;  because  she  "was  fair  to  look  upon. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  had  been  there  a  long 
time,  that  A-bim'e-lech  king  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  looked  out 
at  a  window,  and  saw,  and,  behold,  I'saac  was  sporting  with 
Re-bek'ah  his  wife. 

9  And  A-bim'e-lech  called  I'saac,  and  said.  Behold  of  a 
surety  she  is  thy  wife :  and  how  saidst  thou.  She  is  my  sister? 
And  I'saac  said  unto  him,  Because  I  said,  Lest  I  die  for  her, 


19  And  these  are  the  generations  of  I'saac,  A'bra-ham's 

20  son:  A'bra-ham  begat  I'saac:  and  I'saac  was  forty  years 
old  when  he  took  Re-bek'ah,  the  daughter  of  Beth'u-el 
Hhe  Syr'ian  of  Pad'dan-a'ram,  the  sister  of  La'ban  the 

21  'Syr'ian,  to  be  his  wife.  And  I'saac  intreated  the 
Loed  for  his  wife,  because  she  was  barren  :  and  the 
Loed  was  intreated  of  him,  and  Re-bek'ah  his  wife 

22  conceived.  And  the  children  struggled  together 
within  her ;  and  she  said.  If  it  be  so,  ^wherefore  do 

23 1  live  ?     And  she  went  to  inquire  of  the  Loed.  And 
the  Loed  said  unto  her. 
Two  nations  are  in  thy  womb, 
And  two  peoples  shall  be  separated  even  from  thy 

bowels : 
And  the  one  people  shall  be  stronger  than  the  other 

people ; 
And  the  elder  shall  serve  the  younger. 

24  And  when  her  days  to  be  delivered  were  fulfilled, 

25  behold,  there  were  twins  in  her  womb.  And  the 
first  came  forth  ^red,  all  over  like  an  hairy  garment ; 

26  and  they  called  his  name  E'sau.  And  after  that  came 
forth  his  brother,  and  his  hand  had  hold  on  E'sau's 
heel ;  and  his  name  was  called  ^Ja'cob  :   and  I'saac 

27  was  threescore  years  old  when  she  bare  them.  And 
the  boys  grew:  and  E'sau  was  a  cunning  hunter,  a 
man  of  the  field :  and  Ja'cob  was  a  'plain  man,  dwell- 

28  ing  in  tents.     Now  I'saac  loved  E'sau,  because  he  did 

29  eat  of  his  venison :  and  Re-bek'ah  loved  Ja'cob.  And 
Ja'cob  sod  pottage :  and  E'sau  came  in  from  the  field, 

30  and  he  was  faint :  and  E'sau  said  to  Ja'cob,  Feed  me, 
I  pi'ay  thee,  with  "that  same  red  pottage;  for  I  am 

31  faint ;  therefore  was  his  name  called  ^E'dom.     And 

32  Ja'cob  said,  Sell  me  'this  day  thy  birthright.  And 
E'sau  said,  Behold,  I  am  at  the  point  to  die:  and 

33 what  profit  shall  the  birthright  do  to  me?  And 
Ja'cob  said.  Swear  to  me  'this  day;  and  he  sware

34  And  Ja'cob  gave  E'sau  bread  and  pottage  of  lentils ; 
and  he  did  eat  and  drink,  and  rose  up,  and  went  his

^v  And  there  was  a  famine  in  the  land,  beside  the 
first  famine  that  was  in  the  days  of  A'bra-ham.  And 
I'saac  went  unto  A-bim'e-lech  king  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 

2  unto  Ge'rar.  And  the  Loed  appeared  unto  him,  and 
said.  Go  not  down  into   E'gypt;  dwell  in  the  land 

3  which  I  shall  tell  thee  of:  sojourn  in  this  land,  and

and  unto  thy  seed,  I  will  give  all  these  lands,  and  I 
will  establish  the  oath  which  I  sware  unto  A'bra-ham 

4  thy  father  ;  and  I  will  multiply  thy  seed  as  the  stars 
of  heaven,  and  will  give  unto  thy  seed  all  these  lands , 
and  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  'be 

5  blessed ;  because  that  A'bra-ham  obeyed  my  voice, 
and  kept  my  charge,  my  commandments,  my  statutes, 

5 and  my  laws.  And  I'saac  dwelt  in  Ge'rar:  and  the 
men  of  the  place  asked  him  of  his  wife ;  and  he  said. 
She  is  my  sister :  for  he  feared  to  say.  My  wife ;  lest,

10  And  A-bim'e-lech  said,  What  is  this  thou  hast  done  unto 
us  ?  one  of  the  people  might  lightly  have  lain  with  thy  wife, 
and  "thou  shouldest  have  brought  guiltiness  upon  us. 

11  And  A-bim'e-lech  charged  all  his  people,  saying,  He  that 
'toucheth  this  man  or  his  wife  shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

12  Then  I'saac  sowed  in  that  land,  and  f  received  in  the 
same  year  ""a  hundredfold :  and  the  LoED  'blessed  him : 

13  And  the  man  'waxed  great,  and  fwent  forward,  and 
grew  until  he  became  very  great: 

14  For  he  had  possession  of  flocks,  and  possession  of 
herds,  and  great  store  of  ||  servants :  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  "en- 
vied him. 

15  For  all  the  wells  "which  his  father's  servants  had  digged 
in  the  days  of  A'bra-ham  his  father,  the  Phi-lis'tines  had 
stopped  them,  and  filled  them  with  earth. 

16  And  A-bim'e-lech  said  unto  I'saac,  Go  from  us;  for 
''thou  art  much  mightier  than  we. 

17  ^And  I'saac  departed  thence,  and  pitched  his  tent  in 
the  valley  of  Ge'rar,  and  dwelt  there. 

18  And  I'saac  digged  again  the  wells  of  water,  which  they 
had  digged  in  the  days  of  A'bra-ham  his  father;  for  the 
Phi-lis'tines  had  stopped  them  after  the  death  of  A'bra-ham : 
"and  he  called  their  names  after  the  names  by  which  his 
father  had  called  them. 

19  And  I'saac's  servants  digged  in  the  valley,  and  found 
there  a  well  of  fspringing  water. 

20  And  the  herdmen  of  Ge'rar  'did  strive  with  I'saac's  herd- 
men,  saying,  The  water  is  ours :  and  he  called  the  name  of 
the  well  II  E'sek;  because  they  strove  with  him. 

21  And  they  digged  another  well,  and  strove  for  that  also : 
and  he  called  the  name  of  it  H  Sit'nah. 

22  And  he  removed  from  thence,  and  digged  another  well; 
and  for  that  they  strove  not :  and  he  called  the  name  of 
it  II  Re-ho'both ;  and  he  said,  For  now  the  Lord  hath  made 
room  for  us,  and  we  shall  "be  fruitful  in  the  land. 

23  And  he  went  up  from  thence  to  Be'er-she'ba. 

24  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him  the  same  night,  and 
said,  ''I  am  the  God  of  A'bra-ham  thy  father:  ""fear  not,  for  ''I 
am  with  thee,  and  will  bless  thee,  and  multiply  thy  seed  for 
my  servant  A'bra-ham's  sake. 

25  And  he  "builded  an  altar  there,  and  -^called  upon  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  pitched  his  tent  there :  and  there 
I'saac's  servants  digged  a  well. 

26  ^Then  A-bim'e-lech  went  to  him  from  Ge'rar,  and 
A-huz'zath  one  of  his  friends,  "and  Phi'chol  the  chief  cap- 
tain of  his  army. 

27  And  I'saac  said  unto  them.  Wherefore  come  ye  to  me, 
seeing  *ye  hate  me,  and  have  "sent  me  away  from  you? 

28  And  they  said,  fWe  saw  certainly  that  the  Lord  *was 
with  thee :  and  we  said.  Let  there  be  now  an  oath  betwixt 
us,  even  betwixt  us  and  thee,  and  let  us  make  a  covenant 
with  thee ; 

29  fThat  thou  wilt  do  us  no  hurt,  as  we  have  not  touched 
thee,  and  as  we  have  done  unto  thee  nothing  but  good,  and 
have  sent  thee  away  in  peace :  'thou  art  now  the  blessed  of 
the  Lord. 

30  "And  he  made  them  a  feast,  and  they  did  eat  and  drink. 

31  And  they  rose  up  betimes  in  the  morning,  and  "sware 
one  to  another :  and  I'saac  sent  them  away,  and  they  departed 
from  him  in  peace. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same  day,  that  I'saac's  servants 
came,  and  told  him  concerning  the  well  which  they  had 
digged,  and  said  unto  him,  We  have  found  water. 

33  And  he  called  it  ||  She'bah :  "therefore  the  name  of  the 
city  is  II  Be'er-she'ba  unto  this  day. 

34  ^"And  E'sau  was  forty  years  old  when  he  took  to  wife 
Ju'dith  the  daughter  of  Be-e'ri  the  Hit'tite,  and  Bash'e-math 
the  daughter  of  E'lon  the  Hit'tite: 

35  Which'were  fa  grief  of  mind  unto  I'saac  and  to  Re-bek'ah. 


10  And  A-bim'e-lech  said.  What  is  this  thou  hast  done 
unto  us?  one  of  the  people  might  lightly  have  lien 
with  thy  wife,  and  thou  shouldest  have  brought  guilt- 

llinessuponus.  And  A-bim'e-lech  charged  all  the  peo- 
ple, saying,  He  that  toucheth  this  man  or  his  wife 

12  shall  surely  be  put  to  death.  And  I'saac  sowed  in  that 
land,  and  found  in  the  same  year  an  hundredfold : 

13  and  the  Lord  blessed  him.  And  the  man  waxed 
great,  and  grew  more  and  more  until  he  became  very 

14  great :  and  he  had  possessions  of  flocks,  and  posses- 
sions of  herds,  and  a  great  household :  and  the  Phi- 

151is'tines  envied  him.  Now  all  the  wells  which  his 
father's  servants  had  digged  in  the  days  of  A'bra-ham 
his  father,  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  stopped  them,  and 

16  filled  them  with  earth.  And  A-bim'e-lech  said  unto 
I'saac,  Go  from  us ;  for  thou  art  much  mightier  than 

17  we.     And  I'saac  departed  thence,  and  encamped  in 

18  the  valley  of  Ge'rar,  and  dwelt  there.  And  I'saac 
digged  again  the  wells  of  water,  which  they  had 
digged  in  the  days  of  A'bra-ham  his  father;  for  the 
Phi-lis'tines  had  stopped  them  after  the  death  of 
A'bra-ham :  and  he  called  their  names  after  the  names 

19  by  which  his  father  had  called  them.  And  I'saac's 
servants  digged  in  the  valley,  and  found  there  a  well 

20  of  'springing  water.  And  the  herdmen  of  Ge'rar 
strove  with  I'saac's  herdmen,  saying.  The  water  is 
ours:  and  he  called  the  name  of  the  well  ^E'sek; 

21  because  they  contended  with  him.  And  they  digged 
another  well,  and  they  strove  for  that  also :  and  he 

22  called  the  name  of  it  'Sit'nah.  And  he  removed  from 
thence,  and  digged  another  well ;  and  for  that  they 
strove  not :  and  he  called  the  name  of  it  *Re-ho'both ; 
and  he  said.  For  now  the  Lord  hath  made  room  for 

23  us,  and  we  shall  be  fruitful  in  the  land.     And  he 

24  went  up  from  thence  to  Be'er-she'ba.  And  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  the  same  night,  and  said,  I  am 
the  God  of  A'bra-ham  thy  father :  fear  not,  for  I  am 
with  thee,  and  will  bless  thee,  and  multiply  thy  seed 

25  for  my  servant  A'bra-ham's  sake.  And  he  builded 
an  altar  there,  and  called  upon  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  and  pitched  his  tent  there :  and  there  I'saac's 

26  servants  digged  a  well.  Then  A-bim'e-lech  went  to 
him  from  Ge'rar,  and  A-huz'zath  his  friend,and  Phi'col 

27  the  captain  of  his  host.  And  I'saac  said  unto  them. 
Wherefore  are  ye  come  unto  me,  seeing  ye  hate  me, 

28 and  have  sent  me  away  from  you?  And  they  said. 
We  saw  plainly  that  the  Lord  was  with  thee:  and 
we  said.  Let  there  now  be  an  oath  betwixt  us,  even 
betwixt  us  and  thee,  and  let  us  make  a  covenant  with 

29  thee ;  that  thou  wilt  do  us  no  hurt,  as  we  have  not 
touched  thee,  and  as  we  have  done  unto  thee  nothing 
but  good,  and  have  sent  thee  away  in  peace :  thou 

30  art  now  the   blessed   of  the  Lord.     And  he  made 

31  them  a  feast,  and  they  did  eat  and  drink.  And  they 
rose  up  betimes  in  the  morning,  and  sware  one  to 
another:  and  I'saac  sent  them  away,  and  they  de- 

32  parted  from  him  in  peace.  And  it  came  to  pass  the 
same  day,  that  I'saac's  servants  came,  and  told  him 
concerning  the  well  which  they  had  digged,  and  said 

33  unto  him,  We  have  found  water.  And  he  called  it 
''Shi'bah:  therefore  the  name  of  the  city  is  Be'er- 
she'ba  unto  this  day. 

34  And  when  E'sau  was  forty  years  old  he  took  to 
wife  Ju'dith  the  daughter  of  Be-e'ri  the  Hit'tite,  and 

35  Bas'e-math  the  daughter  of  E'lon  the  Hit'tite;  and  they 
were  a  'grief  of  mind  unto  I'saac  and  to  Re-bek'ah.

CHAPTER  XXVII. 

Isaac  sendeth  Esau /or  venison— Jacob  obiaineth  the  blessing. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  I'saac  was  old,  and  "his 
eyes  were  dim,  so  that  he  could  not  see,  he  called  E'sau 
his  eldest  son,  and  said  unto  him.  My  son :  and  he  said 
unto  him,  Behold,  here  am  I. 

2  And  he  said.  Behold  now,  I  am  old,  I  'know  not  the  day 
of  my  death : 

3  "Now  therefore  take,  I  pray  thee,  thy  weapons,  thy  quiver 
and  thy  bow,and  go  out  to  the  field,and  ftake  me  some  venison ; 

4  And  make  me  savoury  meat,  such  as  I  love,  and  bring  it  to 
me,  that  I  may  eat ;  that  my  soul  ''may  bless  thee  before  I  die. 

5  And  Re-bek'ah  heard  when  I'saac  spake  to  E'sau  his  son. 
And  E'sau  went  to  the  field  to  hunt  for  venison,  and  to 
bring  it. 

6  ^And  Re-bek'ah  spake  unto  Ja'cob  her  son,  saying.  Be- 
hold, I  heard  thy  father  speak  unto  E'sau  thy  brother,  saying, 

7  Bring  me  venison,  and  make  me  savoury  meat,  that  I 
may  eat,  and  bless  thee  before  the  Lord  before  my  death. 

8  Now  therefore,  my  son,  'obey  my  voice  according  to 
that  which  I  command  thee. 

9  Go  now  to  the  flock,  and  fetch  me  from  thence  two  good 
kids  of  the  goats ;  and  I  will  make  them  •'^savoury  meat  for 
thy  father,  such  as  he  loveth  : 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  it  to  thy  father,  that  he  may  eat, 
and  that  he  "may  bless  thee  before  his  death. 

11  And  Ja'cob  said  to  Re-bek'ah  his  mother.  Behold,  *E'sau 
my  brother  is  a  hairy  man,  and  I  am  a  smooth  man  : 

12  My  father  peradventure  will  'feel  me,  and  I  shall  seem 
to  him  as  a  deceiver ;  and  I  shall  bring  *a  curse  upon  me, 
and  not  a  blessing. 

13  And  his  mother  said  unto  him,  'Upon  me  be  thy  curse, 
my  son :  only  obey  my  voice,  and  go  fetch  me  them. 

14  And  he  went,  and  fetched,  and  brought  them  to  his 
mother :  and  his  mother  ""made  savoury  meat,  such  as  his 
father  loved. 

15  And  Re-bek'ah  took  f  "goodly  raiment  of  her  eldest  son 
E'sau,  which  were  with  her  in  the  house,  and  put  them  upon 
Ja'cob  her  younger  son : 

16  And  she  put  the  skins  of  the  kids  of  the  goats  upon 
his  hands,  and  upon  the  smooth  of  his  neck : 

17  And  she  gave  the  savoury  meat  and  the  bread,  which 
she  had  prepared,  into  the  hand  of  her  son  Ja'cob. 

18  ^And  he  came  unto  his  father,  and  said.  My  father: 
and  he  said.  Here  am  I ;  who  ai-t  thou,  my  son  ? 

19  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  his  father,!  am  E'sau  thy  firstborn; 
I  have  done  according  as  thou  badest  me  :  arise,  I  pray 
thee,  sit  and  eat  of  my  venison,  "that  thy  soul  may  bless  me. 

20  And  I'saac  said  unto  his  son.  How  is  it  that  thou  hast 
found  it  so  quickly,  my  son  ?  And  he  said,  Because  the 
LoED  thy  God  brought  it  fto  me. 

21  And  I'saac  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Come  near,  I  pray  thee, 
that  I  "may  feel  thee,  my  son,  whether  thou  6e  my  very  son 
E'sau  or  not. 

22  And  Ja'cob  went  near  unto  I'saac  his  father ;  and  he  felt 
him,  and  said,  The  voice  is  Ja'cob's  voice,  but  the  hands  are 
the  hands  of  E'sau. 

23  And  he  discerned  him  not,  because  "his  hands  were 
hairy,  as  his  brother  E'sau's  hands :  so  he  blessed  him. 

24  And  he  said.  Art  thou  my  very  son  E'sau?  And  he 
said,  I  am.. 

25  And  he  .said.  Bring  it  near  to  me,  and  I  will  eat  of  my 
son's  vension,  ''that  my  soul  may  bless  thee.  And  he 
brought  it  near  to  him,  and  he  did  eat :  and  he  brought  him 
wine,  and  he  drank. 

26  And  his  father  I'saac  said  unto  him,  Come  near  now, 
and  kiss  me,  my  son. 

27  And  he  came  near,  and  kissed  him :  and  he  smelled 
the    smell    of   his    raiment,   and    blessed    him,   and    .said, 


^'  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  I'saac  was  old, 
and  his  eyes  were  dim,  so  that  he  could  not  see,  he 
called  E'sau  his  elder  son,  and  said  unto  him.  My 

2  son :  and  he  said  unto  him.  Here  am  I.  And  he 
said.  Behold  now,  I  am  old,  I  know  not  the  day  of 

3  my  death.  Now  therefore  take,  I  pray  thee,  thy 
weapons,  thy  quiver  and  thy  bow,  and  go  out  to  the 

4  field,  and  take  me  venison ;  and  make  me  savoury 
meat,  such  as  I  love,  and  bring  it  to  me,  that  I  may 

5  eat ;  that  my  soul  may  bless  thee  before  I  die.  And 
Re-bek'ah  heard  when  I'saac  spake  to  E'sau  his  son. 
And  E'sau  went  to  the  field  to  hunt  for  venison,  and 

6  to  bring  it.  And  Re-bek'ah  spake  unto  Ja'cob  her 
son,  saying.  Behold,  I  heard  thy  father  speak  unto 

7  E'sau  thy  brother,  saying.  Bring  me  venison,  and 
make  me  savoury  meat,  that   I  may  eat,  and  bless 

8  thee  before  the  Lord  before  my  death.     Now  there 
fore,  my  son,  obey  my  voice  according  to  that  which 

9 1  command  thee.     Go  now  to  the  flock,  and  fetch 

me  from  thence  two  good  kids  of  the  goats ;  and  I 

will  make  them  savoury  meat  for  thy  father,  such 

10 as  he  loveth:  and  thou  shalt  bring  it  to  thy  father, 

that  he  may  eat,  so  that  he  may  bless  thee  before 

11  his  death.  And  Ja'cob  said  to  Re-bek'ah  his  mother, 
Behold,  E'sau  my  brother  is  a  hairy  man,  and  I  am 

12  a  smooth  man.  My  father  peradventure  will  feel 
me,  and  I  shall  seem  to  him  as  a  'deceiver ;  and  I 
shall  bring  a  curse  upon  me,  and  not  a  blessing. 

13  And  his  mother  said  unto  him.  Upon  me  be  thy 
curse,  my  son  :  only  obey  my  voice,  and   go  fetch 

14  me  them.  And  he  went,  and  fetched,  and  brought 
them  to  his  mother:  and  his  mother  made  savoury 

15  meat  such  as  his  father  loved.  And  Re-bek'ah  took 
the  goodly  raiment  of  E'sau  her  elder  son,  which 
were  with  her  in   the  house,  and   put  them   upon 

16  Ja'cob  her  younger  son :  and  she  put  the  skins  of 
the  kids  of  the  goats  upon  his  hands,  and  upon  the 

17  smooth  of  his  neck :  and  she  gave  the  savoury  meat 
and  the   bread,  which   she   had  prepared,  into  the 

18  hand  of  her  son  Ja'cob.  And  he  came  unto  his 
father,  and  said.  My  father :  and  he  said.  Here  am 

191;  who  art  thou,  my  son  ?  And  Ja'cob  said  unto 
his  father,  I  am  E'sau  thy  firstborn ;  I  have  done 
according  as  thou  badest  me :  arise,  I  pray  thee, 
sit  and  eat  of  my  venison,  that  thy  soul  may  bless 

20  me.  And  I'saac  said  unto  his  son.  How  is  it  that 
thou  hast  found  it  so  quickly,  my  son?  And  he 
said.  Because   the    Lord    thy   God   sent   me  good 

21  speed.  And  I'saac  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Come  near,  I 
pray  thee,  that  I  may  feel  thee,  my   son,  whether 

22  thou  be  my  very  son  E'sau  or  not.  And  Ja'cob 
went  near  unto  I'saac  his  father;  and  he  felt  him, 
and  said.  The  voice  is  Ja'cob's  voice,  but  the  hands 

23  are  the  hands  of  E'sau.  And  he  discerned  him  not, 
because  his  hands  were  hairy,  as  his  brother  E'sau's 

24hands:'  so  he  blessed  him.     And  he  said,  Art  thou 

25  my  very  son  E'sau  ?  And  he  said,  I  am.  And  he  said, 
bring  it  near  to  me,  and  I  Avill  eat  of  my  son's  veni- 
son, that  my  soul  may  bless  thee.  And  he  brought 
it  near  to   him,   and  be   did   eat:  and   he   brought 

26  him  wine,  and  he  drank.  And  his  father  I'saac  said 
unto  him.  Come  near  now,   and  kiss  me,  my   son. 

27  And  he  came  near,  and  kissed  him :  and  he  smelled 
the  smell  of  his  raiment,  and  blessed  him,  and  said.

"the  fatness  of  the  earth,  and  "'plenty  of  corn  and  wine : 

29  "Let  people  serve  thee,  and  nations  bow  down  to  thee : 
be  lord  over  thy  brethren,  and  'let  thy  mother's  sons  bow 
down  to  thee :  "cursed  be  every  one  that  curse th  thee,  and 
blessed  be  he  that  blesseth  thee. 

30  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  I'saac  had  made  an 
end  of  blessing  Ja'cob,  and  Ja'cob  was  yet  scarce  gone  out 
from  the  presence  of  I'saac  his  father,  that  E'sau  his  brother 
came  in  from  his  hunting. 

31  And  he  also  had  made  savoury  meat,  and  brought 
it  unto  his  father,  and  said  unto  his  father.  Let  my  father 
arise,  and  ''eat  of  his  son's  venison,  that  thy  soul  may 
bless  me. 

32  And  I'saac  his  father  said  unto  him.  Who  art  thou? 
And  he  said,  I  am  thy  son,  thy  firstborn,  E'sau. 

33  And  I'saac  ftrembled  very  exceedingly,  and  said,  Who  ? 
where  is  he  that  hath  ftaken  venison  and  brought  t<  me, 
and  I  have  eaten  of  all  before  thou  camest,  and  have  blessed 
him  ?  yea,  "and  he  shall  be  blessed. 

34  And  when  E'sau  heard  the  words  of  his  father,  '''he  cried 
with  a  great  and  exceeding  bitter  cry,  and  said  unto  his 
father.  Bless  me,  even  me  also,  O  my  father. 

35  And  he  said.  Thy  brother  came  with  subtilty,  and  hath 
taken  away  thy  blessing. 

36  And  he  said, 'Is  not  he  rightly  named  ||  Ja'cob?  for  he 
hath  supplanted  me  these  two  times :  -''he  took  away  my 
birthright;  and,  behold,  now  he  hath  taken  away  my 
blessing.  And  he  said.  Hast  thou  not  reserved  a  blessing 
for  me? 

37  And  I'saac  answered  and  said  unto  E'sau,  "Behold,  I 
have  made  him  thy  lord,  and  all  his  brethren  have  I 
given  to  him  for  servants;  and  ''with  corn  and  wine  have 
I  II  sustained  him:  and  what  shall  I  do  now  unto  thee, 
my  son? 

38  And  E'sau  said  unto  his  father.  Hast  thou  but  one 
blessing,  my  father?  bless  me,  even  me  also,  O  my  father. 
And  E'sau  lifted  up  his  voice,  'and  wept. 

39  And  I'saac  his  father  answered  and  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  ''thy  dwelling  shall  be  ||  the  fatness  of  the  earth, 
and  of  the  dew  of  heaven  from  above  : 

40  And  by  thy  sword  shalt  thou  live,  and  'shalt  serve 
thy  brother ;  and  "it  shall  come  to  pass  when  thou  shalt 
have  the  dominion,  that  thou  shalt  break  his  yoke  from  off 
thy  neck. 

41  T[And  E'sau  "hated  Ja'cob  because  of  the  blessing  where- 
with his  father  blessed  him :  and  E'sau  said  in  his  heart, 
"The  days  of  mourning  for  my  father  are  at  hand ;  "then 
will  I  slay  my  brother  Ja'cob. 

42  And  these  words  of  E'sau  her  elder  son  were  told  to 
Re-bek'ah  :  and  she  sent  and  called  Ja'cob  her  younger  son, 
and  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thy  brother  E'sau,  as  touching 
thee,  doth  'comfort  himself,  purposing  to  kill  thee. 

43  Now  therefore,  my  son,  obey  my  voice ;  and  arise,  flee 
thou  to  La'ban  my  brother  'to  Ha' ran ; 

44  And  tarry  with  him  a  few  days,  until  thy  brother's  fury 
turn  away ; 

45  Until  thy  brother's  anger  turn  away  from  thee,  and  he 
forget  that  which  thou  hast  done  to  him :  then  I  will  send, 
and  fetch  thee  from  thence  :  why  should  I  be  deprived  also 
of  you  both  in  one  day  ? 

46  And  Re-bek'ah  said  to  I'saac,  'I  am  weary  of  my  life 
because  of  the  daughters  of  Heth  :  'if  Ja'cob  take  a  wife  of 
the  daughters  of  Heth,  such  as  these  which  are  of  the 
daughters  of  the  land,  what  good  shall  my  life  do  me  ? 


See,  the  smell  of  my  son 

Is  as  the  smell  of  a  field  which  the  Lord  hath  blessed : 

28  And  God  give  thee  of  the  dew  of  heaven, 
And  of  the  fatness  of  the  earth, 

And  plenty  of  corn  and  wine : 

29  Let  peoples  serve  thee. 

And  nations  bow  down  to  thee : 

Be  lord  over  thy  brethren. 

And  let  thy  mother's  sons  bow  down  to  thee : 

Cursed  be  every  one  that  curseth  thee. 

And  blessed  be  every  one  that  blesseth  thee. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  I'saac  had  made  an 
end  of  blessing  Ja'cob,  and  Ja'cob  was  yet  scarce 
gone  out  from  the  presence  of  I'saac  his  father,  that 

31  E'sau  his  brother  came  in  from  his  hunting.  And 
he  also  made  savoury  meat,  and  brought  it  unto  his 
father;  and  he  said  unto  his  father.  Let  my  father 
arise,  and  eat  of  his  son's  venison,  that  thy  soul 

32  may  bless  me.  And  I'saac  his  father  said  unto 
him,  Who  art  thou?     And  he  said,  I  am  thy  son, 

33  thy  firstborn,  E'sau.  And  I'saac  trembled  very  ex- 
ceedingly, and  said.  Who  then  is  he  that  hath 
taken  venison,  and  brought  it  me,  and  I  have  eaten 
of  all  before  thou  camest,  and  have  blessed  him? 

34  yea,  and  he  shall  be  blessed.  When  E'sau  heard 
the  words  of  his  father,  he  cried  with  an  exceeding 
great  and  bitter  cry,  and  said  unto  his  father,  Bless 

35  me,  even  me  also,  O  my  father.  And  he  skid.  Thy 
brother  came  with  guile,  and  hath  taken  away  thy 

36  blessing.     And  he  said.  Is  not  he  rightly  named 
'Ja'cob  ?  for  he  hath  supplanted  me  these  two  times 
he  took  away  my  birthright;  and,  behold,  now  he 
hath  taken  away  my  blessing.     And  he  said,  Ha.st 

37 thou  not  reserved  a  blessing  for  me?  And  I'saac 
answered  and  said  unto  E'sau,  Behold,  I  have  made 
him  thy  lord,  and  all  his  brethren  have  1  given  to  him 
for  servants ;  and  with  corn  and  wine  have  I  sustained 
him :  and  what  then  shall  I  do  for  thee,  my  son  ? 

38  And  E'sau  said  unto  his  father.  Hast  thou  but  one 
blessing,  my  father?  bless  me,  even  me  also,  O  my 
father.     And  E'sau  lifted  up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

39  And  I'saac  his  father  answered  and  said  unto  him. 

Behold,  ^of  the  fatness  of  the  earth  shall  be  thy 

dwelling. 
And  ^of  the  dew  of  heaven  from  above ; 

40  ^nd  by  thy  sword  shalt  thou  live,  and  thou  shalt 

serve  thy  brother; 
And  it  shall  come  to  pass  when  thou  shalt  break  loose. 
That  thou  shalt  shake  his  yoke  from  off  thy  neck. 

41  And  E'sau  hated  Ja'cob  because  of  the  blessing 
wherewith  his  father  blessed  him ;  and  E'sau  said 
in  his  heart.  The  days  of  mourning  for  my  father 
are  at  hand;  then  will  I  slay  my   brother  Ja'cob. 

42  And  the  words  of  E'sau  her  elder  son  were  told  to 
Re-bek'ah;  and  she  sent  and  called  Ja'cob  her 
younger  son,  and  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thy 
brother  E'sau,  as  touching  thee,  doth  comfort  him- 

43  self,  purposing  to  kill  thee.  Now  therefore,  my 
son,  obey  my  voice;  and  arise,  flee  thou  to  La'ban 

44  my  brother  to  Ha' ran ;  and  tarry  with  him  a  few 

45  days,  until  thy  brother's  fury  turn  away ;  until  thy 
brother's  anger  turn  away  from  thee,  and  he  forget 
that  which  thou  hast  done  to  him  ;  then  I  will  send, 
and  fetch  thee  from  thence :  why  should  I  be  be- 
reaved of  you  both  in  one  day  ? 

46  And  Re-bek'ah  said  to  I'saac,  I  am  weary  of  my  life 
because  of  the  daughters  of  Heth:  if  Ja'cob  takeawife 
of  the  daughters  of  Heth,  such  as  these,  of  the  daugh- 
ters of  the  land,  what  good  shall  my  life  do  me?

CHAPTER    XXVIII. 

Vision  of  Jacob's  ladder — Stone  of  Beth-el—Jacob's  vow. 

AND  I'saac  called  Ja'cob,  and  "blessed  him,  and  charged 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  ''Thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife  of 
the  daughters  of  Ca'naan. 

2  "Arise,  go  to  ''Pa'dan-a'ram,  to  the  house  of 'Beth'u-el  thy 
mother's  father;  and  take  thee  a  wife  from  thence  of  the 
daughters  of  ■''La'ban  thy  mother's  brother. 

3  "And  God  Almighty  bless  thee,  and  make  thee  fruit- 
ful, and  multiply  thee,  that  thou  mayest  be  fa  multitude 
of  people; 

4  And  give  thee  *the  blessing  of  A'bra-ham,  to  thee,  and 
to  thy  seed  with  thee ;  that  thou  mayest  inherit  the 
land  t'wherein  thou  art  a  stranger,  which  God  gave  unto 
A'bra-ham. 

5  And  I'saac  sent  away  Ja'cob :  and  he  went  to  Pa'dan-a'ram 
unto  La'ban,  son  of  Beth'u-el  the  Syi-'i-an,  the  brother  of 
Re-bek'ah,  Ja'cob's  and  E'sau's  mother. 

6  ^When  E'sau  saw  that  I'saac  had  blessed  Ja'cob,  and 
sent  him  away  to  Pa'dan-a'ram,  to  take  him  a  wife  from 
thence ;  and  that  as  he  blessed  him  he  gave  him  a  charge, 
saying,  Thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of 
Ca'naan ; 

7  And  that  Ja'cob  obeyed  his  father  and  his  mother,  and 
was  gone  to  Pa'dan-a'ram; 

8  And  E'sau  seeing  *that  the  daughters  of  Ca'naan  f  pleased 
not  I'saac  his  father ; 

9  Then  went  E'sau  unto  Ish'ma-el,  and  took  unto  the  wives 
which  he  had  'Ma'ha-lath  the  daughter  of  Ish'ma-el  A'bra- 
ham's  son,  "'the  sister  of  Ne-ba'joth,  to  be  his  wife. 

10  ^And  Ja'cob  "went  out  from  Be'er-she'ba,  and  went 
toward  "Ha'ran. 

11  And  he  lighted  upon  a  certain  place,  and  tarried  there 
all  night,  because  the  sun  was  set ;  and  he  took  of  the 
stones  of  that  place,  and  put  them  for  his  pillows,  and  lay 
down  in  that  place  to  sleep. 

12  And  he  "dreamed,  and  behold  a  ladder  set  up  on  the 
earth,  and  the  top  of  it  reached  to  heaven :  and  behold  'the 
angels  of  God  ascending  and  descending  on  it. 

13  'And,  behold,  the  Lord  stood  above  it,  and  said,  'I  am 
the  Lord  God  of  A'bra-ham  thy  father,  and  the  God  of  I'saac : 
the  land  whereon  thou  liest,  to  thee  will  I  give  it,  and  to 
thy  seed; 

14  And  "thy  seed  shall  be  as  the  dust  of  the  earth :  and 
thou  shalt  fspread  abroad  "to  the  west,  and  to  the  east,  and 
to  the  north,  and  to  the  south :  and  in  thee  and  *ii.  thy  seed 
shall  all  the  families  of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

15  And,  behold,  "I  am  with  thee,  and  will  'keep  thee  in  all 
places  whither  thou  goest,  and  will  "bring  thee  again  into 
this  land ;  for  'I  will  not  leave  thee,  "until  I  have  done  that 
which  I  have  spoken  to  thee  of. 

16  ^And  Ja'cob  awaked  out  of  his  sleep,  and  he  said. 
Surely  the  Loed  is  in  ''this  place ;  and  I  knew  it  not. 

17  And  he  was  afraid,  and  said.  How  dreadful  is  this  place  ! 
this  is  none  other  but  the  house  of  God,  and  this  is  the  gate 
of  heaven. 

18  And  Ja'cob  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  took  the 
stone  that  he  had  put  for  his  pillows,  and  'set  it  up  for  a 
pillar,  ■''and  poured  oil  upon  the  top  of  it. 

'   19  And  he  called  the  name  of  "that  place  ||Beth'-el:  but 
the  name  of  that  city  was  called  Luz  at  the  first. 

20  ''And  Ja'cob  vowed  a  vow,  saying.  If  'God  will  be  with 
me,  and  will  keep  me  in  this  way  that  I  go,  and  will  give 
me  *bread  to  eat,  and  raiment  to  put  on, 

21  So  that  'I  come  again  to  my  father's  house  in  peace; 
"then  shall  the  Lord  be  my  God : 

22  And  this  stone,  Avhich  I  have  set  for  a  pillar,  "shall  be 
God's  house :  "and  of  all  that  thou  shalt  give  me  I  will 
surely  give  the  tenth  unto  thee. 


«0  Andl'saac  called Ja'cob,and  blessed  hlm,and  charged 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife  of 

2  the  daughters  of  Ca'naan.  Arise,  go  to  Pad'dan- 
a'ram,  to  the  house  of  Beth'u-el  thy  mother's  father ; 
and  take  thee  a  wife  from  thence  of  the  daughters  of 

3  La'ban  thy  mother's  brother.  And  'God  Almighty  bless 
thee,  and  make  thee  fruitful,  and  multiply  thee,  that 

4  thou  mayest  be  a  company  of  peopJes ;  and  give  thee 
the  blessing  of  A'bra-ham,  to  thee,  and  to  thy  seed 
with  thee ;  that  thou  mayest  inherit  the  land  of  thy  so- 

5  journings,which  God  gave  untoA'bra-ham.  And  I'saac 
sent  away  Ja'cob  :  and  he  went  to  Pad'dan-a'ram  unto 
La'ban,  son  of  Beth'u-el  the  ^Syr'i-an,  the  brother  of 

6  Re-bek'ah,  Ja'col '  j  and  E'sau's  mother.  Now  E'sau 
saw  that  I'saac  had  blessed  Ja'cob  and  sent  him 
away  to  Pad'dan-a'ram,  to  take  him  a  wife  from 
thence;  and  that  as  he  blessed  him  he  gave  him  a 
charge,  saying.  Thou  shalt  not  take  a  wife  of  the 

7  daughters  of  Ca'naan ;  and  that  Ja'cob  obeyed  his 
father  and  his  mother,  and  was  gone  to  Pad'dan 

8  a'ram :  and  E'sau  saw  that  the  daughters  of  Ca'naan 
9 pleased  not  I'saac  his  father;  and  E'sau  went  unto 

Ish'ma-el,  and  took  unto  the  wives  which  he  had 
Ma'ha-lath  the  daughter  of  Ish'ma-el  A'bra-ham's 
son,  the  sister  of  Ne-ba'ioth,  to  be  his  wife. 

10  And  Ja'cob  went  out  from  Be'er-she'ba,  and  went 

11  toward  Ha' ran.  And  he  lighted  upon  %  certain 
place,  and  tarried  there  all  night,  because  the  sun 
was  set ;  and  he  took  one  of  the  stones  of  the  place, 
and  put  it  under  his  head,  and  lay  down  in  that 

1 2  place  to  sleep.     And  he  dreamed,  and  behold  a  lad 
der  set  up  on  the  earth,  and  the  top  of  it  reached  to 
heaven :  and  behold  the  angels  of  God  ascending 

13  and  descending  on  it.  And,  behold,  the  Lord  stood 
^above  it,  and  said,  I  am  the  Lord,  the  God  of  A'bra- 
ham  thy  father,  and  the  God  of  I'saac :  the  land 
whereon  thou  liest,  to  thee  will  I  give  it,  and  to  thy 

14  seed ;  and  thy  seed  shall  be  as  the  dust  of  the  earth, 
and  thou  shalt  'spread  abroad  to  the  west,  and  to 
the  east,  and  to  the  north,  and  to  the  south :  and  in 
thee  and  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  families  of  the  earth 

15  be  blessed.  And,  behold,  I  am  with  thee,  and  will 
keep  thee  whithersoever  thou  goest,  and  will  bring 
thee  again  into  this  land ;  for  I  will  not  leave  thee, 
until  I  have  done  that  which  I  have  spoken  to  thee 

16  of.  And  Ja'cob  awaked  out  of  his  sleep,  and  he  said, 
Surely  the  Lord  is  in  this  place ;  and  I  knew  it  not. 

17  And  he  was  afraid,  and  said.  How  dreadful  is  this 
place !  this  is  none  other  but  the  house  of  God,  and 

18  this  is  the  gate  of  heaven.  And  Ja'cob  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  took  the  stone  that  he  had  put 
under  his  head,  and  set  it  up  for  a  pillar,  and  poured 

19  oil  upon  the  top  of  it.  And  he  called  the  name  of 
that  place  'Beth'el :    but  the  name  of  the  city  was 

20  Luz  at  the  first.  And  Ja'cob  vowed  a  vow,  saying, 
If  God  will  be  with  me,  and  will  keep  me  in  this  way 
that  I  go,  and  will  give  me  bread  to  eat,  and  raiment 

21  to  put  on,  so  that  I  come  again  to  my  father's  house 

22  in  peace,  'then  shall  the  Lord  be  my  God,  and  this 
stone,  which  I  have  set  up  for  a  pillar,  shall  be  God's 
house:  and  of  all  that  thou  shalt  give  me  I  will 
surely  give  the  tenth  unto  thee.

Jacob  covenanieih  /or  Rachel—Deceived  with  Leah—Marrieth  Rachel  aUo. 

THEN  Ja'cob  fwent  on  his  journey,  "and  came  into  the 
land  of  the  fpeople  of  the  east. 

2  And  he  looked,  and  behold  a  well  in  the  field,  and,  lo, 
there  were  three  flocks  of  sheep  lying  by  it ;  for  out  of  that 
well  they  watered  the  flocks:  and  a  great  stone  was  upon 
the  well's  mouth. 

3  And  thither  were  all  the  flocks  gathered :  and  they  rolled 
the  stone  from  the  well's  mouth,  and  watered  the  sheep,  and 
put  the  stone  again  upon  the  well's  mouth  in  his  place. 

4  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  them,  My  brethren,  whence  be  ye? 
And  they  said,  of  Ha'ran  are  we. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  Know  ye  La'ban  the  son  of 
Na'hor  ?     And  they  said.  We  know  him. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them,  ■\^Is  he  well  ?  And  they  said. 
He  is  well :  and,  behold,  Ra'chel  his  daughter  cometh  with 
the  sheep. 

7  And  he  said,  Lo,  ^U  is  yet  high  day,  neither  is  it  time 
that  the  cattle  should  be  gathered  together:  water  ye  the 
sheep,  and  go  and  feed  them. 

8  And  they  said, We  can  not,  until  all  the  flocks  be  gathered 
together,  and  till  they  roll  the  stone  from  the  well's  mouth ; 
then  we  water  the  sheep. 

9  ^And  while  he  yet  spake  with  them,  "Ra'chel  came  with 
her  father's  sheep  :  for  she  kept  them. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ja'cob  saw  Ra'chel  the 
daughter  of  La'ban  his  mother's  brother,  and  the  sheep  of 
La'ban  his  mother's  brother,  that  Ja'cob  went  near,  and 
■'rolled  the  stone  from  the  well's  mouth,  and  watered  the 
flock  of  La'ban  his  mother's  brother. 

11  And  Ja'cob  "kissed  Ra'chel,  and  lifted  up  his  voice,  and 
wept. 

12  And  Ja'cob  told  Ra'chel  that  he  was  ■''her  father's 
brother,  and  that  he  was  Re-bek'ah's  son  :  "and  she  ran  and 
told  her  father. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  La'ban  heard  the  ftidings 
of  Ja'cob  his  sister's  son,  that  *he  ran  to  meet  him,  and 
embraced  him,  and  kissed  him,  and  brought  him  to  his  house. 
And  he  told  La'ban  all  these  things. 

14  And  La'ban  said  to  him,  "Surely  thou  art  my  bone  and 
my  flesh.     And  he  abode  with  him  fthe  space  of  a  month. 

15  ^And  La'ban  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Because  thou  art  my 
brother,  shouldest  thou  therefore  serve  me  for  nought?  tell 
me,  what  shall  thy  wages  be  f 

16  And  La'ban  had  two  daughters:  the  name  of  the  elder 
was  Le'ah,  and  the  name  of  the  younger  was  Ra'chel. 

17  Le'ah  was  tender  eyed;  but  Ra'chel  was  beautiful  and 
well  favoured. 

18  And  Ja'cob  loved  Ra'chel;  and  said,  *I  will  serve  thee 
seven  years  for  Ra'chel  thy  younger  daughter. 

19  And  La'ban  said.  It  is  better  that  I  give  her  to  thee,  than 
that  I  should  give  her  to  another  man  :  abide  with  me. 

20  And  Ja'cob  'served  seven  years  for  Ra'chel;  and  they 
seemed  unto  him  but  a  few  days,  for  the  love  he  had  to  her. 

21  ^And  Ja'cob  said  unto  La'ban,  Give  me  my  wife,  for  my 
days  are  fulfilled,  that  I  may  ""go  in  unto  her. 

22  And  La'ban  gathered  together  all  the  men  of  the  place, 
and  "made  a  feast. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  evening,  that  he  took  Le'ah 
his  daughter,and  brought  her  to  him ;  and  he  went  in  unto  her. 

24  And  La'ban  gave  unto  his  daughter  Le'ah  Zil'pah  his 
maid  for  a  handmaid. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  the  morning,  behold,  it  was 
Le'ah :  and  he  said  to  La'ban,  What  is  this  thou  hast  done 
unto  me?  did  not  I  serve  with  thee  for  Ra'chel?  wherefore 
then  hast  thou  beguiled  me? 

26  And  La'ban  said.  It  must  not  be  so  done  in  our  country, 
fto  give  the  younger  before  the  firstborn. 


^y     Then  Ja'cob  'went  on  his  journey,  and  came  to  the 

2  land  of  the  children  of  the  east.  And  he  looked, 
and  behold  a  well  in  the  field,  and,  lo,  three  flocks 
of  sheep  lying  there  by  it ;  for  out  of  that  well  they 
watered  the  flocks :  and  the  stone  upon  the  well's 

3  mouth  was  great.  And  thither  were  all  the  flocks 
gathered :  and  they  rolled  the  stone  from  the  well's 
mouth,  and  watered  the  sheep,  and  put  the  stone 

4  again  upon  the  well's  mouth  in  its  place.  And 
Ja'cob  said  unto  them.  My  brethren,  whence  be  ye? 

5  And  they  said.  Of  Ha'ran  are  we.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Know  ye   La'ban  the  son  of  Na'hor?     And 

6  they  said.  We  know  him.  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Is  it  well  with  him  ?  And  they  said.  It  is  well :  and, 
behold,  Ra'chel  his  daughter  cometh  with  the  sheep. 

7  And  he  said,  Lo,  it  is  yet  high  day,  neither  is  it 
time  that   the   cattle   should  be   gathered  together: 

8  water  ye  the  sheep,  and  go  and  feed  them.  And 
they  said.  We  can  not,  until  all  the  flocks  be  gathered 
together,  and  they    roll   the  stone  from   the  well's 

9 mouth;  then  we  water  the  sheep.  While  he  yet 
spake  with  them,  Ra'chel  came  with  her  father's 
10 sheep;  for  she  kept  them.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  Ja'cob  saw  Ra'chel  the  daughter  of  La'ban  his 
mother's  brother,  and  the  sheep  of  La'ban  his 
mother's  brother,  that  Ja'cob  went  near,  and  rolled 
the  stone  from  the  well's  mouth,  and  watered  the 

11  flock  of  La'ban  his  mother's  brother.  And  Ja'cob 
kissed  Ra'chel,  and  lifted  up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

12  And  Ja'cob  told  Ra'chel  that  he  was  her  father's 
brother,  and  that  he  was  Re-bek'ah's  son :  and  she 

13  ran  and  told  her  father.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
La'ban  heard  the  tidings  of  Ja'cob  his  sister's  son,  that 
he  ran  to  meet  him,  and  embraced  him,  and  kissed 
him,  and  brought  him  to  his  house.     And  he  told 

14  La'ban  all  these  things.  And  La'ban  said  to  him, 
Surely  thou  art   my  bone   and  my  flesh.     And  he 

15  abode  with  him  the  space  of  a  month.  And  La'ban 
said  unto  Ja'cob,  Because  thou  art  my  brother, 
shouldest  thou  therefore  serve  me  for  nought?  tell 

16  me,  what  shall  thy  wages  be?  And  La'ban  had  two 
daughters :  the  name  of  the  elder  was  Le'ah,  and  the 

17  name  of  the  younger  was  Ra'chel.  And  Le'ah's  eyes 
were   tender;  but  Ra'chel  was    beautiful   and  well 

18  favoured.  And  Ja'cob  loved  Ra'chel ;  and  he  said, 
I  will  serve  thee  seven  years  for  Ra'chel,  thy  younger 

19  daughter.  And  La'ban  said.  It  is  better  that  I  give 
her  to  thee,  than  that  I  should  give  her  to  another 

20  man :  abide  with  me.  And  Ja'cob  served  seven 
years  for  Ra'chel ;  and  they  seemed  unto  him  but  a 

21  few  days,  for  the  love  he  had  to  her.  And  Ja'cob 
said  unto  La'ban,  Give  me  my  wife,  for  my  days  are 

22  fulfilled,  that  I  may  go  in  unto  her.  And  La'ban 
gathered  together  all  the  men  of  the  place,  and  made 

23  a  feast.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  evening,  that  he 
took  Le'ah  his  daughter,  and  brought  her  to  him ; 

24 and  he  went  in  unto  her.  And  La'ban  gave  Zil'pah 
his  handmaid  unto  his  daughter  Le'ah  for  an  hand- 

25  maid.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning  that, 
behold,  it  was  Le'ah :  and  he  said  to  La'ban,  What  is 
this  thou  hast  done  unto  me?  did  not  I  serve  with 
thee  for  Ra'chel?  wherefore  then  hast  thou  beguiled 

26 me?  And  La'ban  said,  It  is  not  so  done  in  our 
place,  to    give   the   younger    before    the   firstborn.

2T  "Fulfil  her  week,  and  we  will  give  thee  this  also  for  the 
service  which  thou  shalt  serve  with  me  yet  seven  other  years. 

28  And  Ja'cob  did  so,  and  fulfilled  her  week :  and  he  gave 
him  Ra'chel  his  daughter  to  wife  also. 

29  And  La'ban  gave  to  Ea'chel  his  daughter  Bil'hah  his 
handmaid  to  be  her  maid. 

30  And  he  went  in  also  unto  Ra'chel,  and  he  "loved  also 
Ra'chel  more  than  Le'ah,  and  served  with  him  *yet  se\dn 
other  years. 

31  ^And  when  the  Lord  'saw  that  Le'ah  was  hated,  he 
'opened  her  womb ;  but  Ra'chel  was  barren. 

32  And  Le'ah  conceived,  and  bare  a  son ;  and  she  called  his 
name  ||  Reu'ben :  for  she  said.  Surely  the  Loed  hath  'looked 
upon  my  affliction;  now  therefore  my  husband  will  love  m'^. 

33  And  she  conceived  again,  and  bare  a  son;  and  said, 
I  Because  the  Loed  hath  heard  that  I  was  hated,  he  hath  there- 
I  fore  given  me  this  son  also :  and  she  called  his  name  ||  Sim'e-on. 

34  And  she  conceived  again,  and  bare  a  son;  and  said. 
Now  this  time  will  my  husband  be  joined  unto  me,  because 
I  have  borne  him  three  sons :  therefore  was  his  name  called 
HLe'vi. 

(  35  And  she  conceived  again,  and  bare  a  son ;  and  she  said 
Now  will  I  praise  the  LoED :  therefore  she  called  his  name 
"II  Ju'dah ;  and  fleft  bearing. 

CHAPTER  XXX. 

Rachel's  grief  for  her  barrenness— Leah  beareth  Gad— Rachel  beareth  Joseph. 

AND  when  Ra'chel  saw  that  "she  bare  Ja'cob  no  children, 
Ra'chel  'envied  her  sister ;  and  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Give 
me  children,  "or  else  I  die. 

2  And  Ja'cob's  anger  was  kindled  against  Ra'chel :  and  he 
said,  ^Am  I  in  God's  stead,  who  hath  withheld  from  thee  the 
fruit  of  the  womb  ? 

3  And  she  said.  Behold  'my  maid  Bil'hah,  <ro  in  unto  her;i 
•''and  she  shall  bear  upon  my  knees,  "that  I  may  also  f  have ' 
children  by  her. 

4  And  she  gave  him  Bil'hah  her  handmaid  Ho  wife :  and 
Ja'cob  went  in  unto  her. 

5  And  Bil'hah  conceived,  and  bare  Ja'cob  a  son. 

6  And  Ra'chel  said,  God  hath  fudged  me,  and  hath  also 
heard  my  voice,  and  hath  given  me  a  son :  therefore  called 
she  his  name  ||  Dan. 

7  And  Bil'hah  Ra'chel's  maid  conceived  again,  and  bare 
Ja'cob  a  second  son. 

8  And  Ra'chel  said.  With  fgreat  wrestlings  have  I  wrestled 
with  my  sister,  and  I  have  prevailed:  and  she  called  his 
name  ||'Naph'ta-li. 

9  When  Le'ah  saw  that  she  had  left  bearing,  she  took  Zil'- 
pah  her  maid  and  'gave  her  Ja'cob  to  wife. 

10  And  Zil'pah  Le'ah's  maid  bare  Ja'cob  a  son. 

11  And  Le'ah  said,  A  troop  cometh:  and  ghe  called  his 
name,  II  Gad. 

12  And  Zil'pah  Le'ah's  maid  bare  Ja'cob  a  second  son. 

13  And  Le'ah  said,  fHappy  am  I,  for  the  daughters  ""will 
call  me  blessed:  and  she  called  his  name  ||  Ash'er. 

14  ^And  Reu'ben  went  in  the  days  of  wheat  harvest,  and 
found  mandrakes  in  the  field,  and  brought  them  unto  his 
mother  Le'ah.  Then  Rachel  said  to  Le'ah,  "Give  me,  I  pray 
thee,  of  thy  son's  mandrakes. 

15  And  she  said  unto  her,  °Is  it  a  small  matter  that  thou 
hast  taken  my  husband?  and  wouldest  thou  take  away  my 
son's  mandrakes  also?  And  Ra'chel  said.  Therefore  he 
shall  lie  with  thee  to-night  for  thy  son's  mandrakes. 

16  And  Ja'cob  came  out  of  the  field  in  the  evening,  and 
Le'ah  went  out  to  meet  him,  and  said,  Thou  must  come  in 
unto  me :  for  surely  I  have  hired  thee  with  my  son's  man- 
drakes.    And  he  lay  with  her  that  night. 

17  And  God  hearkened  unto  Le'ah,  and  she  conceived,  and 
bare  Ja'cob  the  fifth  son. 


27  Fulfil  the  week  of  this  one,  and  we  will  give  thee  the 
other  also  for  the  service  which  thou  shalt   serve 

28  with  me  yet  seven  other  years.  And  Ja'cob  did  so, 
and  fulfilled  her  week :  and  he  gave  him  Ra'chel  his 

29  daughter  to  wife.  And  La'ban  gave  to  Ra'chel  his 
daughter  Bil'hah  his  handmaid  to  be  her  handmaid. 

30  And  he  went  in  also  unto  Ra'chel,  and  he  loved 
also  Ra'chel  more  than  Le'ah,  and  served  with  him 
yet  seven  other  years. 

31  And  the  Lord  saw  that  Le'ah  was  hated,  and  he 
32 opened  her  womb:   but  Ra'chel  was  barren.     And 

Le'ah  conceived,  and  bare  a  son,  and  she  called  his 
name  Reu'ben :  for  she  said,  Because  the  Lord  'hath 
looked  upon    my  affliction;    for   now    my  husband 

33  will  love  me.  And  she  conceived  again,  and  bare 
a  son ;  and  said,  Because  the  Loed  ^hath  heard  that 
I  am  hated,  he  hath  therefore  given    me   this   son 

34 also:  and  she  called  his  name  ^Sim'e-on.  And  she 
conceived  again,  and  bare  a  son;  and  said,  Now 
this  time  will  my  husband  be  ^joined  unto  me,  be- 
cause I  have  borne  him  three  sons:  therefore  was 

35  his  name  called  Le'vi.  And  she  conceived  again, 
and   bare   a  son :    and   she   said.  This  time  will  I 

.  "praise  the  Lord:  therefore  she  called  his  name 
^Ju'dah;  and  she  left  bearing. 

Ok)  And  when  Ra'chel  saw  that  she  bare  Ja'cob  no 
children,  Ra'chel  envied  her  sister;    and   she   said 

2  unto  Ja'cob,  Give  me  children,  or  else  I  die.  And 
Ja'cob's  anger  was  kindled  against  Ra'chel:  and  he 
said.  Am  I  in  God's  stead,  who  hath  withheld  from 

3  thee  the  fruit  of  the  womb  ?  And  she  said.  Behold 
my  maid  Bil'hah,  go  in  unto  her ;  that  she  may  bear 
upon  my  knees,  and  I  also  may  'obtain  children  by 

4  her.     And  she  gave  him  Bil'hah  her  handmaid  to 

5  wife :  and  Ja'cob  went  in  unto  her.     And  Bil'hah 

6  conceived,  and  bare  Ja'cob  a  son.  And  Ra'chel  said, 
God  hath  ^judged  me,  and  hath  also  heard  my  voice, 
and  hath  given  me  a  son :  therefore  called  she  his 

7  name  Dan.     And  Bil'hah  Ra'chel's  handmaid  con- 
Sceived  again,  and  bare  Ja'cob  a  second  son.     And 

Ra'chel    said.    With    ^mighty    wrestlings    have    I 

'"wrestled    with    my    sister,    and    have    prevailed : 

9  and  she  called  his  name  Naph'ta-li.     When  Le'ah 

saw    that    she   had    left   bearing,    she   took    Zil'pah 

10  her  handmaid,  and  gave  her  to  Ja'cob  to  wife.     And 

11  Zil'pah  Le'ah's  handmaid  bare  Ja'cob  a  son.  And 
Le'ah  said,  "Fortunate !    and   she  called    his  name 

12'^Gad.     And  Zil'pah  Le'ah's  handmaid  bare  Ja'cob  a 

13  second  son.  And  Le'ah  said,  '^Happy  am  I !  for  the 
daughters  will  "call  me  happy :    and  she  called  his 

14  name  Ash'er.  And  Reu'ben  went  in  the  days  of 
wheat  harvest,  and  found  "mandrakes  in  the  field, 
and  brought  them  unto  his  mother  Le'ah.  Then 
Ra'chel  said  to  Le'ah,  Give  me,  I  pray  thee,  of  thy 

15  son's  mandrakes.  And  she  said  unto  her,  Is  it  a 
small  matter  that  thou  hast  taken  away  my  hus- 
band? and  wouldest  thou  take  away  my  son's 
mandrakes  also?  And  Ra'chel  said,  Therefore  he 
shall    lie  with    thee    to-night    for    thy    son's    man- 

16  drakes.  And  Ja'cob  came  from  the  field  in  the 
evening,  and  Le'ah  went  out  to  meet  him,  and  said. 
Thou  must  come  in  unto  me:  for  I  have  surely 
hired  thee  with  my  son's  mandrakes.     And  he  lay 

17  with  her  that  night.  And  God  hearkened  unto 
Le'ah,  and  she  conceived,  and  bare  Ja'cob  a  fifth  son.

18  And  Le'ah  said,  God  hath  given  me  my  hire,  because  I 
have  given  my  maiden  to  my  husband :  aud  she  called  his 
name  ||  Is'sa-char, 

19  And  Le'ah  conceived  again,  and  bare  Ja'cob  the  sixth  son. 

20  And  Le'ah  said,  God  hath  endued  me  with  a  good 
dowry ;  now  will  my  husband  dwell  with  me,  because  I  have 
borne  Lim  six  sons :  and  she  called  his  name  ||''Zeb'u-lun. 

21  And  afterwards  she  bare  a  daughter,  and  called  her 
name  ||Di'nah. 

22  ^And  God  'remembered  Ra'chel,  and  God  hearkened 
to  her,  and  ""opened  her  womb. 

23  And  she  conceived,  and  bare  a  son ;  and  said,  God  hath 
taken  away  'my  reproach  : 

24  And  she  called  his  name  ||  Jo'seph ;  and  said,  'The  Lord 
shall  add  to  me  another  son. 

25  SI  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ra'chel  had  borne  Jo'seph, 
that  Ja'cob  said  unto  La'ban,  "Send  me  away,  that  I  may  go 
unto  "'mine  own  jilace,  and  to  my  country. 

26  Give  me  my  wives  and  my  cliildren,  "for  whom  I  have 
served  thee,  and  let  me  go :  for  thou  knowest  my  service 
which  I  have  done  thee. 

27  And  La'ban  said  unto  him,  I  pray  thee,  if  I  have  found 
favour  in  thine  eyes,  tarry :  for  '1  have  learned  by  experience 
that  the  Lord  hath  blessed  me  "for  thy  sake. 

28  And  he  said,  'Appoint  me  thy  wages,  and  I  will  give  it. 

29  And  he  said  unto  him,  ''Thou  knowest  how  I  have 
served  thee,  and  how  thy  cattle  was  with  me. 

30  For  it  was  little  Avhich  thou  hadst  before  I  came,  and 
it  is  now  fincreased  unto  a  multitude ;  and  the  Lord  hath 
blessed  thee  fsince  my  coming :  and  now,  when  shall  I 
''provide  for  mine  own  house  also? 

31  And  he  said.  What  shall  I  give  thee  ?  And  Ja'cob  said. 
Thou  shalt  not  give  me  anything :  if  thou  wilt  do  this 
thing  for  me,  I  will  again  feed  and  keep  thy  flock. 

32  I  will  pass  through  all  thy  flock  to-day,  removing  from 
thence  all  the  speckled  and  spotted  cattle,  and  all  the  brown 
cattle  among  the  sheep,  and  the  spotted  and  speckled  among 
the  goats :  and  'of  such  shall  be  my  hire. 

33  So  shall  my  -^righteousness  answer  for  me  fin  time 
to  come,  when  it  shall  come  for  my  hire  before  thy  face : 
every  one  that  is  not  speckled  aud  spotted  among  the  goats, 
and  brown  among  the  sheep,  that  shall  be  counted  stolen 
with  me. 

34  And  La'ban  said.  Behold,  I  would  it  might  be  according 
to  thy  word. 

35  And  he  removed  that  day  the  he-goats  that  were  ring- 
streaked  and  spotted,  and  all  the  she-goats  that  were  speckled 
and  spotted,  and  every  one  that  had  some  white  in  it,  and  all 
the  brown  among  the  sheep,  and  gave  them  into  the  hand 
of  his  sons. 

36  And  he  set  three  days'  journey  betwixt  himself  and 
Ja'cob :  and  Ja'cob  fed  the  rest  of  La'ban's  flocks. 

37  ^  And  "Ja'cob  took  him  rods  of  green  poplar,  and  of  the 
hazel  and  chestnut  tree;  and  pilled  white  streaks  in  them, 
and  made  the  white  appear  which  was  in  the  rods. 

38  And  he  set  the  rods  which  he  had  pilled  before  the 
flocks  in  the  gutters  in  the  watering  troughs  when  the  flocks 
came  to  drink,  that  they  should  conceive  when  they  came 
to  drink. 

39  And  the  flocks  conceived  before  the  rods,  and  brought 
forth  cattle  ringstreaked,  speckled,  and  spotted. 

40  And  Ja'cob  did  separate  the  lambs,  and  set  the  faces  of 
the  flocks  toward  the  ringstreaked,  and  all  the  brown  in  the 
flock  of  La'ban ;  and  he  put  his  own  flocks  by  themselves, 
and  put  them  not  unto  La'ban's  cattle. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  whensoever  the  stronger  cattle 
did  conceive,  that  Ja'cob  laid  the  rods  before  the  eyes 
of  the  cattle  in  the  gutters,  that  they  might  conceive  among 
the  rods., 


18  And  Le'ah  said,  God  hath  given  me  my  •hire,  be- 
cause I  gave  my  handmaid  to   my  husband :  and 

19  she  called  his  name  Is'sa-char.     And  Le'ah  conceived 

20  again,  and  bare  a  sixth  son  to  Ja'cob.  And  Le'ah  said, 
God  hath  endowed  me  with  a  good  dowry ;  now  will 
my  husband  ^dwell  with  me,  because  I  have  borne 
him  six  ijns:   and  she  called  his  name  Zeb'u-lun. 

21  And  afterwards  she  bare  a  daughter,  and  called  her 

22  name  Di'naVi.  And  God  remembered  Ra'chel,  and 
God    hearkened   to    her,   and    opened    her   womb 

23  And   sliQ'!  conceived,   and    bare   a   son :    and    said, 
24 God    hath    taken    away    my    reproach:     and   she 

called   his   name    Jo'seph,   saying,  the    Lord  'add 
to  me  ar  other  son. 

25  And  it  camo  to  pass,  when  Ra'chel  had  borne 
Jo'seph,  tliat  Ja'cob  snid  unto  La'ban,  Send  me  away, 
that  I  may  go  unio  mine   own   place,  and  to  my 

26  country.  Give  me  my  wives  and  my  children  for 
whom  I  have  served  thee,  and  let  me  go :  for  thou 
knowest  my  service  wherewith  I  have  served  thee. 

27  And  La'ban  said  unto  him,  If  now  I  have  found 
favour  in  thine  eyes,  tarry:  for  I  have  divined  that 

28  the  Lord  hath  blessed  me  for  thy  sake.  And  he 
said,  Appoint  me  thy  wages,  and  I   will  give  it. 

29  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou  knowest  how  I  have 
served  thee,  and  how  thy  cattle  hath  fared  with  me. 

30  For  it  was  little  which  thou  hadst  before  I  came, 
and  it  hath  Mucreased  unto  a  multitude ;  and  the 
Lord  hath  blessed  thee  'whithersoever  I  turned : 
and  now  when  shall  I  provide  for  mine  own  house 

31  also?  And  he  said.  What  shall  I  give  thee?  And 
Ja'cob  said.  Thou  shalt  not  give  me  aught :  if  thou 
wilt  do  this  thing  for  me,  I  will  again  feed  thy  flock 

32  and  keep  it.  I  will  pass  through  all  thy  flock  to- 
day, removing  from  thence  every  speckled  and 
spotted  one,  and  every  black  one  among  the  sheep, 
and    the    spotted    and  speckled  among   the  goats: 

33  and  of  such  shall  be  my  hire.  So  shall  my  right- 
eousness answer  for  me  hereafter,  when  thou  shalt 
come  concerning  my  hire  that  is  before  thee :  every 
one  that  is  not  speclded  and  spotted  among  the 
goats,  and  black   among  the  sheep,  that  if  found 

34  with  me  shall  be  counted  stolen.  And  La'ban  said, 
Bohold,  I  would  it  might  be  according  to  thy  word. 

35  And  he  removed  that  day  the  he-goats  that  were 
ringstraked  and  spotted,  and  all  the  she-goats  that 
were  speckled  and  spotted,  every  one  that  had  white 
in  it,  and  all  the  black  ones  among  the   sheep,  and 

36  gave  them  into  the  hand  of  his  sons ;  and  he  set 
three   days'  journey   betwixt  himself  and  Ja'cob  : 

37  and  Ja'cob  fed  the  rest  of  La'ban's  flocks.  And 
Ja'cob  took  him  rods  of  fresh  'poplar,  and  of  the 
almond  and  of  the  plane  tree;  and  peeled  white 
strakes  in  them,  and  made  the  white  appear  which 

38  was  in  the  rods.  And  he  set  the  rods  which  he 
had  peeled  over  against  the  flocks  in  the  gutters 
in  the  watering  troughs  where  the  flocks  came  to 
drink  ;  and  tney  conceived  when  they  came  to  drink. 

39  And  the  flocks  conceived  before  the  rods,  and 
the  flocks  brought  forth  ringstraked,  speckled,  and 

40  spotted.  And  Ja'cob  separated  the  lambs,  and  set 
the  faces  of  the  flocks  toward  the  ringstraked  and 
all  the  black  in  the  flock  of  La'ban ;  and  he  put 
his  own  droves  apart,  and  put  them  not  unto  La'- 

41  ban's  flock.  And  it  came  to  pass,  whensoever  the 
stronger  of  the  flock  did  conceive,  that  Ja'cob 
laid  the  rods  before  the  eyes  of  the  flock  in  the 
gutters,  that  they  might  conceive  among  the  rods;

42  But  when  the  cattle  were  feeble,  he  put  them  not  in :  so 
the  feebler  were  La'ban's,  and  the  stronger  Ja'cob's. 

43  And  the  man  ''increased  exceedingly ,and  'had  much  cattle, 
and  maidservants,  and  menservants,  and  camels,  and  asses. 

CHAPTER    XXXI. 

Jacobus  complaint  of  Laban — Covenant  of  Laban  and  Jacob  at  GaUed. 

AND  he  heard  the  words  of  La'ban's  sons,  saying,  Ja'cob 
hath  taken  away  all  that  was  our  father's ;  and  of  that 
which  was  our  father's  hath  he  gotten  all  this  "glory. 

2  And  Ja'cob  beheld  ''the  countenance  of  La'ban,  and,  be- 
hold, it  was  not  ''toward  him  fas  before. 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Ja'cob,  ''Return  unto  the  land  of 
thy  fathers,  and  to  thy  kindred ;  and  I  will  be  with  thee. 

4  And  Ja'cob  sent  and  called  Ra'chel  and  Le'ah  to  the  field 
unto  his  flock, 

5  And  said  unto  them,  "I  see  your  father's  countenance, 
that  it  is  not  toward  me  as  before  ;  but  the  God  of  my  father 
•^hath  been  with  me. 

6  And  'ye  know  that  with  all  my  power  I  have  served 
your  father. 

7  And  your  father  hath  deceived  me,  and  "changed  my 
wages  'ten  times ;  but  God  ^suffered  him  not  to  hurt  me. 

8  If  he  said  thus,  'The  speckled  shall  be  thy  wages ;  then 
all  the  cattle  bare  speckled :  and  if  he  said  thus,  The  ring- 
streaked  shall  be  thy  hire ;  then  bare  all  the  cattle  ringstreaked. 

9  Thus  God  hath  "taken  away  the  cattle  of  your  father, 
and  given  them,  to  me. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time  that  the  cattle  conceived, 
that  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw  in  a  dream,  and,  behold, 
the  II  rams  which  leaped  upon  the  cattle  were  ringstreaked, 
speckled,  and  grizzled. 

11  And  "the  angel  of  God  spake  unto  me  in  a  dream,  saying, 
Ja'cob  :  And  I  said.  Here  am  I. 

12  And  he  said.  Lift  up  now  thine  eyes,  and  see,  all  the 
rams  which  leap  upon  the  cattle  are  ringstreaked,  speckled, 
and  grizzled :  for  "I  have  seen  all  that  La'ban  doeth  unto  thee. 

13  1  am  the  God  of  Beth'-el,''where  thou  anointedst  the  pillar, 
and  where  thou  vowedst  a  vow  unto  me :  now  'arise,  get  thee 
out  from  this  land,  and  return  unto  the  land  of  thy  kindred. 

14  And  Ra'chel  and  Le'ah  answered  and  said  unto  him,  ^Is 
there  yet  any  portion  or  inheritance  for  us  in  our  father's  house  ? 

15  Are  we  not  counted  of  him  strangers?  for  'he  hath  sold 
us,  and  hath  quite  devoured  also  our  money. 

16  For  all  the  riches  which  God  hath  taken  from  our  father, 
that  is  ours,  and  our  children's :  now  then,  whatsoever  God 
hath  said  unto  thee,  do. 

17  ^Then  Ja'cob  rose  up,  and  set  his  sons  and  his  wives 
upon  camels ; 

18  And  he  carried  away  all  his  cattle,  and  all  his  goods  which 
he  had  gotten,  the  cattle  of  his  getting,  which  he  had  gotten  in 
Pa'dan-a'ram,for  to  go  tol'saac  his  father  in  the  land  ofCa'naan. 

19  And  La'ban  went  to  shear  his  sheep:  and  Ra'chel  had 
stolen  the  f'iniages  that  were  her  father's. 

20  And  Ja'cob  stole  away  funawares  to  La'ban  the  Syr'i-an, 
in  that  he  told  him  not  that  he  fled. 

21  So  he  fled  with  all  that  he  had ;  and  he  rose  up,  and 
passed  over  the  river,and"set  his  face  toward  the  mountGil'e-ad. 

22  And  it  was  told  La'ban  on  the  third  day,  that  Ja'cob 
was  fled. 

23  And  he  took  "'his  brethren  with  him,  and  pursued  after 
him  seven  days'  journey ;  and  they  overtook  him  in  the 
mount  Gil'e-ad. 

24  And  God  "came  to  La'ban  the  Syr'i-an  in  a  dream  by 
night,  and  said  unto  him.  Take  heed  that  thou  ''speak  not 
to  Ja'cob  feither  good  or  bad. 

25  ^Then  La'ban  overtook  Ja'cob.  Now  Ja'cob  had  pitched 
his  tent  in  the  mount :  and  La'ban  with  his  brethren  pitched 
in  the  mount  of  Gil'e-ad. 

26  And  La'ban  said  to  Ja'cob,  What  hast  thou  done,  that 


42  but  when  the  flock  were  feeble,  he  put  them  not 
in :  so  the  feebler  were  La'ban's,  and  the  stronger 

43  Ja'cob's.  And  the  man  increased  exceedingly,  and 
had  large  flocks,  and  maidservants  and  menservants, 
and  cam^s  and  asses. 

04-  And  he  heard  the  words  of  La'ban's  sons,  saying, 
Ja'cob  hath  taken  away  all  that  was  our  father's; 
and  of  that  which  was  our  father's  hath  he  gotten 

2  all  this  'glory.  And  Ja'cob  beheld  the  countenance 
of  La'ban,  and,  behold,  it  was  not  toward  him  as 

3  befo retime.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Return 
unto  the  land  of  thy  fathers,  and  to  thy   kindred ; 

4  and  I  will  be  with  thee.     And  Ja'cob  sent  and  called 

5  Ra'chel  and  Le'ah  to  the  field  unto  his  flock,  and 
said  unto  them,  I  see  your  father's  countenance, 
that  it  is  not  toward  me  as  beforetime ;  but  the  God 

6  of  my  father  hath  been  with  me.  And  ye  know 
that  with  all  my  power  I  have  served  your  father. 

-7  And  your  father  hath  deceived  me,  and  changed  my 
wages  ten  times ;  but  God  sufiered  him  not  to  hurt 

8  me.  If  he  said  thus,  The  speckled  shall  be  thy 
wages ;  then  all  the  flock  bare  speckled :  and  if  he 
said  thus.  The  ringstraked  shall  be  thy  wages ;  then 

9  bare  all  the  flock  ringstraked.  Thus  God  hath  taken 
away  the  cattle  of  your  father,  and  given  them  to  me. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time  that  the  flock  con- 
ceived, that  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw  in  a 
dream,  and,  behold,  the  he-goats  which  leaped  upon 
the  flock  were  ringstraked,  speckled,  and   gristed. 

11  And  the  angel  of  God  said  unto  me  in  the  dream, 
12 Ja'cob:  and  I  said.  Here  am  I.     And  he  said,  Lift 

up  now  thine  eyes,  and  see,  all  the  he-goats  which 
leap  upon  the  flock  are  ringstraked,  speckled,  and 
grisled:  for  I  have  seen  all  that  La'ban  doeth  unto 

13  thee.  I  am  the  God  of  Beth'-el,  where  thou  anoint- 
edst a  pillar,  where  thou  vowedst  a  vow  unto  me : 
now  arise,  get  thee  out  from  this  land,  and  return 

14  unto  the  land  of  thy  nativity.  And  Ra'chel  and 
Le'ah  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Is  there  yet  any 
portion  or  inheritance  for  us  in  our  father's  house? 

15  Are  we  not  counted  of  him  strangers?  for  he  hath 
sold  us,  and  hath  also  quite  devoured  ^our  money. 

16  For  all  the  riches  which  God  hath  taken  away  from 
our  father,  that  is  ours  and  our  children's :  now  then, 

17  whatsoever  God  hath  said  unto  thee,  do.  Then 
Ja'cob  rose  up,  and  set  his  sons  and  his  wives  upon 

18 the  camels;  and  he  carried  away  all  his  cattle,  and 
all  his  substance  which  he  had  gathered,  the  cattle 
of  his  getting,  which  he  had  gathered  in  Pad'dan- 
a'ram,  for  to  go  to  I'saac  his  father  unto  the  land  of 

19  Ca'naan.  Now  La'ban  was  gone  to  shear  his  sheep: 
and  Ra'chel  stole  the  'teraphim  that  were  her  father's. 

20  And   Ja'cob   ^stole  away   unawares  to  La'ban,  the 

21  Syr'i-an,  in  that  he  told  him  not  that  he  fled.  So  he 
fled  with  all  that  he  had;  and  he  rose  up,  and 
passed  over  'the  River,  and  set  his  face  toward  the 
mountain  of  Gil'e-ad. 

22  And  it  was  told  La'ban  on  the  third  day  that 

23  Ja'cob  was  fled.  And  he  took  his  brethren  with 
him,  and  pursued  after  him  seven  days'  journey ; 
and  he  overtook  him  in  the  mountain  of  Gil'e-ad. 

24  And  God  came  to  La'ban  the  Syr'i-an  in  a  dream  of 
the  night,  and  said  unto  him,  "Take  heed  to  thyself 
that  thou  speak  not  to  Ja'cob  either  good  or  bad. 

25  And  La'ban  came  up  with  Ja'cob.  Now  Ja'cob  had 
pitched  his  tent  in  the  mountain :  and  La'ban  with  his 

26  brethren  pitched  in  the  mountain  of  Gil'e-ad.  And 
La'ban  said  to  Ja'cob,  What  hast  thou  done,  that

thou  hast  stolen  awav  unawares  to  me,  and  "carried  away 
my  daughters,  as  captives  taken  with  the  sword? 

2V  Wherefore  didst  thou  flee  away  secretly,  and  fsteal 
a\^•i^y  from  me;  and  didst  not  tell  me,  that  I  might  have 
sent  thee  away  with  mirth,  and  with  songs,  with  tabret,  and 
with  harp? 

28  And  hast  not  suffered  me  Ho  kiss  my  sons  and  my 
daughters?  "thon  hast  now  done  foolishly  in  so  doing, 

29  It  is  in  the  power  of  my  hand  to  do  you  hurt :  but  the 
''God  of  your  father  spake  unto  me  'yesternight,  saying. 
Take  thou  heed  that  thou  speak  not  to  Ja'cob  either  good 
or  bad. 

30  And  now,  though  thou  wouldest  needs  be  gone,  because 
thou  sore  longedst  after  thy  father's  house,  yet  wherefore 
hast  thou  ■'stolen  my  gods? 

31  And  Ja'cob  answered  and  said  to  La'ban,  Because  I  was 
afraid :  for  I  said,  Peradvwiture  thou  wouldest  take  by  force 
thy  daughters  from  me. 

32  With  whomsoever  thou  findest  thy  gods,  'let  him  not 
live :  before  our  brethren  discern  thou  what  is  thine  with 
me,  and  take  it  to  thee.  For  Ja'cob  knew  not  that  Ra'chel 
had  stolen  them. 

33  And  La'ban  went  into  Ja'cob's  tent,  and  into  Le'ah's 
tent,  and  into  the  two  maidservants'  tents;  but  he  found 
them  not.  Then  he  went  out  of  Le'ah's  tent,  and  entered 
into  Ra'chel's  tent. 

34  Now  Ra'chel  had  taken  the  images,  and  put  them  in  the 
camel's  furniture,  and  sat  upon  them.  And  La'ban  fsearched 
all  the  tent,  but  found  them  not. 

35  And  she  said  to  her  father,  Let  it  not  displease  my  lord 
that  I  can  not  ''rise  up  before  thee :  for  the  custom  of  women 
is  upon  me.     And  he  searched,  but  found  not  the  images. 

36  ^And  Ja'cob  was  wroth,  and  chode  with  La'ban :  and 
Ja'cob  answered  and  said  to  La'ban,  What  is  my  trespass  ? 
what  is  my  sin,  that  thou  hast  so  hotly  pursued  after  me? 

37  Whereas  thou  hast  searched  all  my  stuff,  what  hast 
thou  found  of  all  thy  household  stuff?  set  it  here  before  my 
brethren  and  thy  brethren,  that  they  may  judge  betwixt  us 
both. 

38  This  twenty  years  have  I  been  with  thee ;  thy  ewes  and 
thy  she-goats  have  not  cast  their  young,  and  the  rams  of  thy 
flock  have  I  not  eaten. 

39  'That  which  was  torn  of  beasts  I  brought  not  unto  thee ; 
I  bare  the  loss  of  it;  of  *my  hand  didst  thou  require  it, 
whether  stolen  by  day,  or  stolen  by  night. 

40  Thus  I  was ;  in  the  day  the  drought  consumed  me,  and 
the  frost  by  night ;  and  my  sleep  departed  from  mine  eyes. 

41  Thus  have  I  been  twenty  years  in  thy  house:  I  'served 
thee  fourteen  years  for  thy  two  daughters,  and  six  years  for 
thy  cattle ;  and  ""thou  hast  changed  my  wages  ten  times. 

42  "Except  the  God  of  my  father,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham, 
and  "the  fear  of  I'saac,  had  been  with  me,  surely  thou  hadst 
sent  me  away  now  empty.  "God  hath  seen  mine  affliction 
and  the  labour  of  my  hands,  and  "rebuked  thee  yesternight. 

43  *[[And  La'ban  answered  and  said  unto  Ja'cob,  These 
daughters  are  my  daughters,  and  these  children  are  my  chil- 
dren, and  these  cattle  are  my  cattle,  and  all  that  thou  seest 
is  mine :  and  what  can  I  do  this  day  unto  these  my  daugh- 
ters, or  unto  their  children  which  they  have  borne? 

44  Now  therefore  come  thou,  ''let  us  make  a  covenant,  I 
and  thou ;  "and  let  it  be  for  a  witness  between  me  and  thee. 

45  And  Ja'cob  took  a  stone,  and  set  it  up  for  a  pillar. 

46  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  his  brethren.  Gather  stones ;  and 
fhey  took  stones,  and  made  a  heap :  and  they  did  eat  there 
upon  the  heap. 

47  And  La'ban  called  it  ||  Je'gar-sa-ha-du'tha:  but  Ja'cob 
called  it  ||Gal'e-ed. 

48  And  La'ban  said,  "This  heap  is  a  witness  between  me  and 
thee  this  day.     Therefore  was  the  name  of  it  called  Gal'e-ed, 


thou  hast  stolen  away  unawares  to  me,  and  car- 
ried away  my  daughters  as  captives  of  the  sword? 

27  Wherefore  didst  thou  flee  secretly,  and  'steal  away 
from  me;  and  didst  not  tell  me,  that  I  might  have 
sent  thee   away   with   mirth   and  with  songs,  with 

28 tabret  and  with  harp;  and  hast  not  suffered  me  to 
kiss  my   sons   and   my   daughters?  now  hast  thou 

29  done  foolishly.  It  is  in  the  power  of  my  hand  to 
do  you  hurt :  but  the  God  of  your  father  spake 
unto  me  yesternight,  saying.  Take  heed  to  thyself 
that  thou  speak  not  to  Ja'cob  either  good  or  bad. 

30  And  now,  though  thou  wouldest  needs  be  gone,  be- 
cause  thou   sore    longedst   after  thy  father's  house, 

31  yet  wherefore  hast  thou  stolen  my  gods?  And 
Ja'cob  answered  and  said  to  La'ban,  Because  I  was 
afraid:    for  I  said.  Lest    thou    shouldest    take  thy 

32  daughters  from  me  by  force.  With  whomsoever 
thou  findest  thy  gods,  he  shall  not  live :  before  our 
brethren  discern  thou  what  is  thine  with  me,  and 
take  it  to  thee.     For  Ja'cob  knew  not  that  Ra'chel 

33  had  stolen  them.  And  La'ban  went  into  Ja'cob's 
tent,  and  into  Le'ah's  tent,  and  into  the  tent  of  the 
two  maidservants ;  but  he  found  them  not.  And  he 
went  out  of  Le'ah's  tent,  and  entered  into  Ra'chel's 

34  tent.  Now  Ra'chel  had  taken  the  teraphim,  and  put 
them  in  the  camel's  furniture,  and  sat  upon  them. 
And  La'ban  felt  about  all  the  tent,  but  found  them 

35  not.  And  she  said  to  her  father.  Let  not  my  lord 
be  angry  that  I  can  not  rise  up  before  thee ;  for  the 
manner  of  women    is  upon  me.     And  he  searched, 

36  but  found  not  the  teraphim.  And  Ja'cob  was  wroth, 
and  chode  with  La'ban :  and  Ja'cob  answered  and 
said  to  La'ban.  What  is  my  trespass?  what   is  my 

37  sin,  that  thou  hast  hotly  pursued  alter  me?  Whereas 
thou  hast  felt  about  all  my  stuff,  what  hast  thou 
found  of  all  thy  household  stuff?  Set  it  here  be- 
fore my  brethren  and  thy  brethren,  that  they  may 

38judge  betwixt  us  two.  This  twenty  years  have  I  been 
with  thee;  thy  ewes  and  thy  she-goats  have  not 
cast  their  young,  and  the  rams  of  thy  flocks  have 

391  not  eaten.  That  which  was  torn  of  beasts  I 
brought  not  unto  thee;  I  bare  the  loss  of  it;  of 
my  hand  didst  thou  require   it,  whether  stolen  by 

40  day  or  stolen  by  night.  Thus  I  was ;  in  the  day  the 
drought  consumed  me,  and  the  frost  by  night ;  and 

41  my  sleep  fled  from  mine  eyes.  These  twenty  years 
have  I  been  in  thy  house;  I  served  thee  fourteen 
years  for  thy  two  daughters,  and  six  years  for  thy 
flock :  and  thou  hast  changed  my  wages  ten  times. 

42  Except  the  God  of  my  father,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham, 
and  the  Fear  of  I'saac,  had  been  with  me,  surely 
now  hadst  thou  sent  me  away  empty.  God  hath 
seen  mine  affliction  and  the  labour  of  my  hands,  and 

43  rebuked  thee  yesternight.  And  La'ban  answered 
and  said  unto  Ja'cob,  The  daughters  are  my  daugh- 
ters, and  the  children  are  my  children,  and  the 
flocks  are  my  flocks,  and  all  that  thou  seest  is  mine : 
and  what  can  I  do  this  day  unto  these  my  daughters, 

44  or  unto  their  children  which  they  have  borne  ?  And 
now  come,  let  us  make  a  covenant,  I  and  thou ;  and 

45  let  it  be  for  a  witness  between  me  and  thee.     And 

46  Ja'cob  took  a  stone,  and  set  it  up  for  a  pillar.  And 
Ja'cob  said  unto  his  brethren.  Gather  stones;  and 
they  took  stones,  and  made  an  heap :  and  they  did 

47  eat  there  by  the  heap.     And  La'ban  called  it  ^Je'gar- 

48  sa-ha-du'tha:  but  Ja'cob  called  it  ^Gal'e-ed.  AndLa'ban 
said,  This  heap  is  witness  between  me  and  thee  this 
day.     Therefore  was  the  name  of  it  called  Gal'e-ed :

49  And  "'ll  Miz'pah;  for  he  said,  The  LoKD  watch  between

50  If  thou  shalt  afflict  my  daughters,  or  if  thou  shalt  take 
other  wives  besides  my  daughters,  no  man  is  with  us ;  see, 
God  is  witness  betwixt  me  and  thee. 

51  And  La'ban  said  to  Ja'cob,  Behold  this  heap,  and  behold 
this  pillar,  which  I  have  cast  betwixt  me  and  thee  ; 

52  This  heap  be  witness,  and  this  pillar  be  witness,  that  I 
will  not  pass  over  this  heap  to  thee,  and  that  thou  shalt  not 
pass  over  this  heap  and  this  pillar  unto  me,  for  harm. 

53  The  God  of  A'bra-ham,  and  the  God  of  Na'hor,  the  God 
of  their  father,  "judge  betwixt  us.  And  Ja'cob  'sware  by 
"the  fear  of  his  father  I'saac. 

54  Then  Ja'cob  |1  offered  sacrifice  upon  the  mount,  and 
called  his  brethren  to  eat  bread :  and  they  did  eat  bread, 
and  tarried  all  night  in  the  mount. 

55  And  early  in  the  morning  La'ban  rose  up,  and  kissed 
his  sons  and  his  daughters,  and  ''blessed  them  :  and  La'ban 
departed,  and  "  returned  unto  his  place. 

CHAPTER  XXXII. 

Jacob  wresileth  with  an  angel  at  Peniel^  where  he  is  called  Israel. 

AND  Ja'cob  went  on  his  way,  and  the  "angels  of  God 
met  him. 

2  And  when  Ja'cob  saw  them,  he  said,  This  is  God's  ""host : 
and  he  called  the  name  of  that  place  ||  Ma-ha-na'im. 

3  And  Ja'cob  sent  messengers  before  him  to  E'sau  his 
brother  "unto  the  land  of  Se'ir,  ''the  fcountry  of  E'dom. 

4  And  he  commanded  them,  saying,  'Thus  shall  ye  speak 
unto  my  lord  E'sau ;  Thy  servant  Ja'cob  saith  thus,  I  have 
sojourned  with  La'ban,  and  stayed  there  until  low : 

5  And-^I  have  oxen,  and  asses,  flocks,  and  menservants, 
and  womenservants :  and  I  have  sent  to  tell  my  lord,  that 
"I  may  find  grace  in  thy  sight. 

6  ^And  the  messengers  returned  to  Ja'cob,  saying,  "VVe 
came  to  thy  brother  E'sau,  and  also  ''he  cometh  to  meet 
thee,  and  four  hundred  men  with  him. 

7  Then  Ja'cob  was  greatly  afraid  and  'distressed:  and  he 
divided  the  people  that  was  with  him,  and  the  flocks,  and 
heiJs,  and  the  camels,  into  two  bands ; 

8  And  said.  If  E'sau  come  to  the  one  company,  and  smite 
it,  then  the  other  company  which  is  left  shall  escape. 

9  •|y*And  Ja'cob  said,  'O  God  of  my  father  A'bra-ham,  and 
God  of  my  father  I'saac,  the  Loed  "which  saidst  unto  me, 
Return  unto  thy  country,  and  to  thy  kindred,  and  I  will 
deal  well  with  thee :

thetruth,whichthouhastshewed  unto  thy  servant;  forwith'my 
stafflpassedoverthisJor'dan;  andnowlambecometwobands. 

11  ^Deliver  me,  I  pray  thee,  from  the  hand  of  my  brother, 
from  the  hand  of  E'sau  ;  for  I  fear  him,  lest  he  will  come 
and  smite  me,  and  "the  mother  fwith  the  children. 

1 2  And  ''thou  saidst,  I  will  surely  do  thee  good,  and  make 
thy  seed  as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  which  can  not  be  numbered 
for  multitude. 

13  ^And  he  lodged  there  that  same  night:  and  took  of 
that  which  came  to  his  hand  "a  present  for  E'sau  his  brother ; 

14  Two  hundred  she-goats  and  twenty  he-goats,  two 
hundred  ewes  and  twenty  rams, 

15  Thirty  milch  camels  with  their  colts,  forty  kine  and  ten 
bulls,  twenty  she-a-sses  and  ten  foals. 

16  And  he  delivered  them  into  the  hand  of  his  servants, 
every  drove  by  themselves ;  and  said  unto  his  servants, 
Pass  over  before  me,  and  put  a  space  betwixt  drove  and  drove. 

17  And  he  commanded  the  foremost,  saying,  When  E'sau 
my  brother  meeteth  thee,  and  asketh  thee,  saying.  Whose 
art  thou?  and  whither  goest  thou?  and  whose  are  these 
before  thee  ? 

18  Thenthoushaltsay, 7^ejr6ethy servant Ja'cob's;itisapres- 
ent  sent  unto  my  lord  E'sau  :  and,  behold,  also  he  is  behind  us. 


49  and  'Miz'pah,  for  he  said,  The  Lord  watch  between 
me  and  thee,  when  we  are  ^absent  one  from  another. 

50  If  thou  shalt  afflict  my  daughters,  and  if  thou  shalt 
take  wives  beside  my  daughters,  no  man  is  with  us; 

51  see,  God  is  witness  betwixt  me  and  thee.  And 
La'bau  said  to  Ja'cob,  Behold  this  heap,  and  behold 
the  pillar,  which  I  have  set  betwixt   me  and  thee. 

52  This  heap  be  witness,  and  the  pillar  be  witness,  that 
I  will  not  pass  over  this  heap  to  thee,  and  that  thou 
shall  not  pass  over  this  heap  and  this  pillar  unto 

53  me,  for  harm.  The  God  of  A'bra-ham,  and  the  God 
of  Na'hor,  the  'God  of  their  father,  judge  betwixt  us. 
And  Ja'cob  sware  by  the  Fear  of  his  father  I'saac. 

54  And  Ja'cob  offered  a  sacrifice  in  the  mountain;  and 
called  his  brethren  to  eat  bread :  and  they  did  eat 

55  bread,  and  tarried  all  night  in  the  mountain.  And 
early  in  the  morning  La'ban  rose  up,  and  kissed 
his    sons    and    his    daughters,    and    blessed    them: 

CiC\  and  La'ban  departed,  and  returned  unto  his  place. 
04  And  Ja'cob  went  on  his  way,  and  the  angels  of 

2  God  met  him.  And  Ja'cob  said  when  he  saw  them. 
This  is  God's  host :  and  he  called  the  name  of  that 
place  *Ma-ha-na'im. 

3  And  Ja'cob  sent  messengers  before  him  to  E'sau 
his  brother  unto  the  land  of  Se'ir,  the  field  of  E'dom. 

4  And  he  commanded  them,  saying.  Thus  shall  ye 
say  unto  my  lord  E'sau ;  Thus  saith  thy  servant 
Ja'cob,  I  have  sojourned  with  La'ban   and   stayed 

5  until  now :  and  I  have  oxen,  and  asses  and  flocks, 
and  menservants  and  maidservants :  and  I  have  sent 
to  tell  my  lord,  that  I  may  find  grace  in  thy  sight, 

6  And  the  messengers  returned  to  Ja'cob,  saying,  We 
came  to  thy  brother  E'sau,  and  moreover  he  cometh 

7  to  meet  thee,  and  four  hundred  men  with  him.  Then 
Ja'cob  was  greatly  afraid  and  was  distressed :  and  he 
divided  the  people  that  was  with  him,  and  the  flocks, 
and  the  herds,  and  the  camels,  into  two  companies; 

8  and  he  said,  If  E'sau  come  to  the  one  company,  and 
smite  it,  then  the  company  which  is  left  shall  escape. 

9  And  Ja'cob  said,  O  God  of  my  father  A'bra-ham,  and 
God  of  my  father  I'saac,  O  Lord,  which  saidst  unto 
me.  Return  unto  thy  country,  and  to  thy  kindred, 

10 and  I  will  do  thee  good:  ''I  am  not  worthy  of  the 
least  of  all' the  mercies,  and  of  all  the  truth,  which 
thou  hast  shewed  unto  thy  servant;  for  with  my 
staff  I  passed  over  this  Jor'dan;  and  now  I  am  be- 
ll come  two  companies.  Deliver  me,  I  pray  thee,  from 
the  hand  of  my  brother,  from  the  hand  of  E'sau :  for 
I  fear  him,  lest  he  come  and  smite  me,  the  mother 

12  with  the  children.  And  thou  saidst,  I  will  surely 
do  thee  good,  and  make  thy  seed  as  the  sand  of  the 

13  sea,  which  cannot  be  numbered  for  multitude.  And 
he  lodged  there  that  night ;  and  took  of  that  which 
he  had  with  him  a  present  for  E'sau  his   brother; 

14  two  hundred   she-goats,  and  twenty   he-goats,  two 

15  hundred  ewes  and  twenty  rams,  thirty  milch  camels 
and  their  colts,  forty  kine  and  ten  bulls,  twenty  she 

IGa.sses  and  ten  foals.  And  he  delivered  them  into 
the  hand  of  his  servants,  every  drove  by  itself;  and 
said  unto  his  servants.  Pass  over  before  me,  and 

17  put  a  space  betwixt  drove  and  drove.  And  he 
commanded  the  foremost,  saying.  When  E'sau  my 
brother  meeteth  thee,  and  asketh  thee,  saying. 
Whose  art  thou?    and    whither    goest  thou?   and 

18 whose  are  these  before  thee?  then  thou  shalt  say. 
They  be  thy  servant  Ja'cob's ;  it  is  a  present  sent  un- 
to my  lord  E'sau  :  and,  behold,  he  also  is  behind  us.

19  And  so  commanded  he  the  second,  and  the  third,  and 
all  that  followed  the  droves,  saying.  On  this  manner  shall 
ye  speak  unto  E'sau,  when  ye  find  him. 

20  And  say  ye  moreover.  Behold,  thy  servant  Ja'cob  is 
behind  us.  For  he  said,  I  will  'appease  him  with  the  present 
that  goeth  before  me,  and  afterward  I  will  see  his  face ;  per- 
adventure  he  will  accept  fof  me. 

21  So  went  the  present  over  before  him;  and  himself 
lodged  that  night  in  the  company. 

22  And  he  rose  up  that  night,  and  took  his  two  wives,  and 
his  two  Avomenservants,  and  his  eleven  sons,  "and  passed 
over  the  ford  Jab'bok. 

23  And  he  took  them,  and  fsent  them  over  the  brook, 
and  sent  over  that  he  had. 

24  ^  And  Ja'cob  was  left  alone ;  and  there  "'wrestled  a  man 
with  him  until  the  fbreaking  of  the  day. 

25  And  when  he  saw  that  he  prevailed  not  against  him, 
he  touched  the  hollow  of  his  thigh  ;  and  "the  hollow  of 
Ja'cob's  thigh  was  out  of  joint,  as  he  wrestled  with  him. 

26  And  "he  said,  Let  me  go,  for  the  day  breaketh.  And 
he  said,  "I  will  not  let  thee  go,  except  thou  bless  me. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him, What  is  thy  name  ?  And  he  said, 
Ja'cob. 

28  And  he  said,  ''Thy  name  shall  be  called  no  more  Ja'cob, 
but  II  Is'ra-el :  for  as  a  prince  hast  thou  "power  with  God  and 
■^with  men,  and  ha.st  prevailed. 

29  And  Ja'cob  asked  him,  and  said.  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
thy  name.  And  he  said,  "Wherefore  is  it  that  thou  dost  ask 
after  my  name  ?     And  he  blessed  him  there. 

30  And  Ja'cob  called  the  name  of  the  place  ||  Pe-ni'el :  for 
^I  have  seen  God  face  to  face,  and  my  life  is  preserved. 

31  And  as  he  pas.sed  over  Pe-nu'el  the  sun  rose  upon  him, 
and  he  halted  upon  his  thigh. 

32  Therefore  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  eat  not  of  the  sinew 
which  shrank,  which  is  upon  the  hollow  of  the  thigh,  unto 
this  day ;  because  he  touched  the  hollow  of  Ja'cob's  thigh 
in  the  sinew  that  shrank. 

CHAPTER  XXXIII. 

Meeting  of  Jacob  and  Esau— Jacob  buyeth  a  field  at  Shatem. 

ND  Ja'cob  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 
"E'sau  came,  and  with  him  four  hundred  men.  And 
he  divided  the  children  unto  Le'ah,  and  unto  Ra'chel,  and 
unto  the  two  handmaids. 

2  And  he  put  the  handmaids  and  their  children  foremost,  and 
Le'ahandherchildrenafter.andRa'chelandJo'sephhindermost. 

3  And  he  passed  over  before  them,  and  'bowed  himself  to 
the  ground  seven  times,  until  he  came  near  to  his  brother. 

4  "And  E'sau  ran  to  meet  him,  and  embraced  him,  ''and  fell 
on  his  neck,  and  kissed  him :  and  they  wept. 

5  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  the  women  and  the 
children  ;  and  said, Who  are.  those  fwith  thee  ?  And  he  said, 
The  children  'which  God  hath  graciously  given  thy  servant. 

6  Then  the  handmaidens  came  near,  they  and  their  children, 
and  they  bowed  themselves. 

7  And  Le'ah  also  with  her  children  came  near,  and  bowed 
themselves,  and  after  came  Jo'seph  near  and  Ra'chel,  and 
they  bowed  themselves. 

8  And  he  said,  fWhat  meanest  thou  by  •'all  this  drove 
which  I  met  ?  And  he  said,  ITiese  are  'to  find  grace  in  the 
sight  of  my  lord. 

9  And  E'sau  said,  I  have  enough,  my  brother ;  fkeep  that 
thou  hast  unto  thyself. 

10  And  Ja'cob  said,  Nay,  I  pray  thee,  if  now  I  have  found 
grace  in  thy  sight,  then  receive  my  present  at  my  hand :  for 
therefore  I  ''have  seen  thy  face,  as  though  I  had  seen  the 
face  of  God,  and  thou  wast  pleased  with  me. 

11  Take,  I  pray  thee,  'my  blessing  that  is  brought  to  thee ; 
because  God  hath  dealt  graciously  with  me,  and  because  I 
have  fenough.     ^And  he  urged  him,  and  he  took  it. 


A 


19  And  he  commanded  also  the  second,  and  the  third, 
and  all  that  followed  the  droves,  saying,  On  this 
manner  shall  ye  speak  unto  E'sau,  when  ye  find  him ; 

20 and  ye  shall  say,  Moreover,  behold,  thy  servant 
Ja'cob  is  behind  us.  For  he  said,  I  will  appease 
him  with  the  present  that  goeth  before  me,  and  after- 
ward I  will  see  his  face ;  peradventure  he  will  accept 

21  me.  So  the  present  passed  over  before  him :  and 
he  him-self  lodged  that  night  in  the  company. 

22  And  he  rose  up  that  night,  and  took  his  two  wives, 
and  his  two  handmaids,  and  his  eleven  children,  and 

23  pa.ssed  over  the  ford  of  Jab'bok.  And  he  took  them, 
and  sent  them  over  the  stream,  and  sent  over  that  he 

24  had.     And  Ja'cob  was  left  alone ;  and  there  wrestled 

25  a  man  with  him  until  the  breaking  of  the  day.  And 
when  he  saw  that  he  prevailed  not  against  him,  he 
touched  the  hollow  of  his  thigh ;  and  the  hollow  of 
Ja'cob's  thigh  was  strained,  as  he  wrestled  with  him 

26  And  he  said,  Let  me  go,  for  the  day  breaketh.  And 
he  said,  I  will  not  let  thee  go,  except  thou  bless  me 

27  And  he  said  unto  him.  What  is  thy   name  ?     And 

28  he  said,  Ja'cob.  And  he  said.  Thy  name  shall  be 
called  no  more  Ja'cob,  but  'Is'ra-el:  for  ^thou  hast 
'striven  with  God  and  with  men,  and  hast  prevailed. 

29  And  Ja'cob  asked  him,  and  said,Tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
thy  name.  And  he  said.  Wherefore  is  it  that  thou 
dost  ask  after  my  name  ?    And  he  blessed  him  there 

30  And  Ja'cob  called  the  name  of  the  place  *Pe-ni'el 
for,  said  he,  I  have  seen  God  face  to  face,  and  my 

31  life  is  preserved.  And  the  sun  rose  upon  him  as  he 
passed  over  Pe-nu'el,  and  he  halted  upon  his  thigh. 

32  Therefore  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  eat  not  the  sinew 
of  the  hip  which  is  upon  the  hollow  of  the  thigh, 
unto  this  day:  because  he  touched  the  hollow  of 
Ja'cob's  thigh  in  the  sinew  of  the  hip. 


And  Ja'cob  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  looked,  and 
behold,  E'sau  came,  and  with  him  four  hundred  men. 
And  he  divided  the  children  unto  Le'ah,  and  unto 

2  Ra'chel,  and  unto  the  two  handmaids.  And  he  put 
the  handmaids  and  their  children  foremost,  and  Le'ah 
and  her  children  after,  and  Ra'chel  and  Jo'seph  hind- 

3ermost.  And  he  himself  passed  over  before  them, 
and  bowed  himself  to  the  ground  seven  times,  until 

4  he  came  near  to  his  brother.  And  E'sau  ran  to  meet 
him,  and  embraced  him,  and  fell  on  his  neck,  and 

5  kissed  him :  and  they  wept.  And  he  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  saw  the  women  and  the  children  ;  and 
said.  Who  are  these  with  thee  ?  And  he  said.  The 
children    which     God    hath    graciously    given    thy 

6  servant.     Then  the  handmaids  came  near,  they  and 

7  their  children,  and  they  bowed  themselves.  And 
Le'ah  also  and  her  children  came  near,  and  bowed 
themselves :  and  after  came  Jo'seph  near  and  Ra'chel, 

Sand  they  bowed   themselves.     And  he   said.  What 

meanest  thou  by  all  this  company  which  I   met  ? 

And  he  said,  To  find  grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord. 

9  And   E'sau   said,  I  have   enough ;  my  brother,  let 

10 that  thou  hast  be  thine.  And  Ja'cob  said,  Nay, 
I  pray  thee,  if  now  I  have  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
then  receive  my  present  at  my  hand :  'forasmuch 
as  I  have  seen  thy   face,  as  one  seeth  the  face  of 

11  God,  and  thou  wast  pleased  with  me.  Take,  I  pray 
thee,  my  ''gift  that  is  brought  to  thee ;  because 
God  hath  dealt  graciously  with  me,  and  because  I 
have  'enough.     And  he  urged  him,  and  he  took  it.

12  And  he  said,  Let  us  take  our  journey,  and  let  us  go, 
and  I  will  go  before  thee. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him,  My  lord  knoweth  that  the 
children  are  tender,  and  the  flocks  and  herds  with  young 
are  with  me ;  and  if  men  should  overdrive  them  one  day,  all 
the  flock  will  die. 

14  Let  my  lord,  I  pray  thee,  pass  over  before  his  servant ; 
and  I  will  lead  on  softly,  according  fas  the  cattle  that  goeth 
before  me  and  the  children  be  able  to  endure,  until  I  come 
unto  my  lord  'unto  Se'ir. 

15  And  E'sau  said.  Let  me  now  fleave  with  thee  some  of 
the  folk  that  are  with  me.  And  he  said,tWhat  needeth  it? 
"let  me  find  grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord. 

16  ^So  E'sau  returned  that  day  on  his  way  unto  Se'ir. 

17  And  Ja'cob  journeyed  to  "Suc'coth,  and  built  him  a 
house,  and  made  booths  for  his  cattle :  therefore  the  name 
of  the  place  is  called  ||  Suc'coth. 

18  TJAnd  Ja'cob  came  to  "Sha'lem,  a  city  of  H^She'chem, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  when  he  came  from  Pa'dan- 
a'ram;  and  pitched  his  tent  before  the  city. 

19  And  «he  bought  a  parcel  of  a  field,  where  he  had  spread 
his  tent,  at  the  hand  of  the  children  of  ||  Ha'mor,  She'chem's 
father,  for  a  hundred  ||  pieces  of  money. 

20  And  he  erected  there  an  altar,  and  ''called  it  l|El-E-Io'- 
he-Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XXXIV. 

Tke  sons  of  Jacob  offer  the  condition  of  circumcision  to  the  Skeckemites. 

AND  "Di'nah  the  daughter  of  Le'ah,  which  she  bare  unto 
Ja'cob,  'went  out  to  see  the  daughters  of  the  land. 

2  And  when  She'chem  the  son  of  Ha'mor  the  Hi'vite,  prince 
of  the  country,  "saw  her,  he  ''took  her,  and  lay  with  her,  and 
fdefiled  her. 

3  And  his  soul  clave  unto  Di'nah  the  daughter  of  Ja'cob,  and 
he  loved  the  damsel,  and  spake  fkindly  unto  the  damsel. 

4  And  She'chem  "spake  unto  his  father  Ha'mor,  saying, 
Get  me  this  damsel  to  wife. 

5  And  Ja'cob  heard  that  he  had  defiled  Di'nah  his  daughter : 
(now  his  sons  were  with  his  cattle  in  the  field :  and  Ja'cob 
•^held  his  peace  until  they  were  come.) 

6  ^  And  Ha'mor  the  &tner  of  She'chem  went  out  unto  Ja'cob 
to  commune  with  him. 

7  And  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  came  out  of  the  field  when  they 
heard  it:  and  the  men  were  grieved,  and  they  "were  very 
wroth,  because  he  ''had  wrought  folly  in  Is'-ra-el  in  lying 
with  Ja'cob's  daughter,  'which  thing  ought  not  to  be  done. 

8  And  Ha'mor  communed  with  them,  saying,  The  soul  of 
my  son  She'chem  longeth  for  your  daughter:  I  pray  you 
give  her  him  to  wife. 

9  And  make  ye  marriages  with  us,  and  give  your  daughters 
unto  us,  and  take  our  daughters  unto  you. 

10  And  ye  shall  dwell  with  us:  and  the  *land  shall  be 
before  you;  dwell  and  "trade  ye  therein,  and  ""get  you 
possessions  therein. 

11  And  She'chem  said  unto  her  father  and  unto  her  breth- 
ren, Let  me  find  grace  in  your  eyes,  and  what  ye  shall  say 
unto  me  I  will  give. 

1 2  Ask  me  never  so  much  "dowry  and  gift,  and  I  will  give  ac- 
cording as  ye  shall  say  unto  me :  but  give  me  the  damsel  to  wife. 

13  And  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  answered  She'chem  and  Ha'mor 
his  father  "deceitfully,  and  said,  because  he  had  defiled 
Di'nah  their  sister: 

14  And  they  said  unto  them.  We  can  not  do  this  thing,  to 
give  our  sister  to  one  that  is  uncircumcised ;  for  ^that  were 
a  reproach  unto  us : 

15  But  in  this  will  we  consent  unto  you:  If  ye  will  be  as 
we  be,  that  every  male  of  you  be  circumcised : 

16  Then  will  we  give  our  daughters  unto  you,  and  we  will 
take  your  daughters  to  us,  and  we  will  dwell  with  you,  and 
we  will  become  one  people. 


12  And  he  said.  Let  us  take  our  journey,  and  let  us 

13  go,  and  I  will  go  before  thee.  And  he  said  unto 
him.  My  lord  knoweth  that  the  children  are  tender, 
and  that  the  flocks  and  herds  with  me  give  suck : 
and  if  they  overdrive  them  one  day,  all  the  flocks 

14  will  die.  Let  my  lord,  I  pray  thee,  pass  over  be- 
fore his  servant:  and  I  will  lead  on  softly,  accord- 
ing to  the  pace  of  the  cattle  that  is  before  me  and 
according  to  the  pace  of  the  children,  until  I  come 

15  unto  my  lord  unto  Se'ir.  And  E'sau  said.  Let  me 
now  leave  with  thee  some  of  the  folk  that  are  with 
me.     And   he   said.  What  needeth  it?  let   me  find 

16  grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord.     So  E'sau  returned 

17  that  day  on  his  way  unto  Se'ir.  And  Ja'cob  jour- 
neyed to  Suc'coth,  and  built  him  an  house,  and 
made  booths  for  his  cattle:  therefore  the  name  of 
the  place  is  called  'Suc'coth. 

18  And  Ja'cob  came  ^in  peace  to  the  city  of  She'chem, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  when  he  came 
from  Pad'dan-a'ram ;  and  encamped  before  the  city. 

19  And  he  bought  the  parcel  of  ground,  where  he  had 
spread  his  tent,  at  the  hand  of  the  children  of  Ha'mor, 
She'chem's  father,  for  an  hundred  ^pieces  of  money. 

20  And  he  erected  there  an  altar,  and  called  it  ^El-e-lo'- 
he-Is'ra-ei. 

v"^  And  Di'nah  the  daughter  of  Le'ah,  which  she  bare 
unto  Ja'cob,  went  out  to  see  the  daughters  of  the 

2  land.  And  She'chem  the  son  of  Ha'mor  the  Hi'vite, 
the  prince  of  the  land,  saw  her ;    and  he  took  her. 

Sand  lay  with  her,  and  humbled  her.  And  his  soul 
clave  unto  Di'nah  the  daughter  of  Ja'cob,  and  he 
loved  the  damsel,  and  spake  ^kindly  unto  the  damsel. 

4  And  She'chem  spake  unto  his  father  Ha'mor,  saying, 

5  Get  me  this  damsel  to  wife.  Now  Ja'cob  heard  that 
he  had  defiled  Di'nah  his  daughter;  and  his  sons 
were  with  his  cattle  in  the  field :  and  Ja'cob  held  his 

6  peace  until  they  came.  And  Ha'mor  the  fiither  of 
She'chem  went  out  unto  Ja'cob   to  commune  with 

7  him.  And  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  came  in  from  the 
field  when  they  heard  it :  and  the  men  were  grieved, 
and  they  were  very  wroth,  because  he  had  wrought 
folly  in  Is'ra-el  in  lying  with  Ja'cob's  daughter; 

8  which  thing  ought  not  to  be  done.  And  Ha'mor 
communed  with  them,  saying,  The  soul  of  my  son 
She'chem  longeth  for  your  daughter:    I  pray  you 

9  give  her  unto  him  to  wife.  And  make  ye  marriages 
with  us ;  give  your  daughters  unto  us,  and  take  our 

10 daughters  unto  you.  And  ye  shall  dwell  with  us: 
and  the  land   shall  be  before  you;  dwell  and  trade 

11  ye  therein,  and  get  you  possessions  therein.  And 
She'chem  said  unto  her  father  and  unto  her  brethren. 
Let  me  find  grace  in  your  eyes,  and  what  ye  shall 

12  say  unto  me  I  will  give.  Ask  me  never  so  much 
dowry  and  gift,  and  I  will  give  according  as  ye  shall 

13  say  unto  me :  but  give  me  the  damsel  to  wife.  And 
the  sons  of  Ja'cob  answered  She'chem  and  Ha'mor 
his  father  with  guile,  and  spake,  because  he  had  de- 

14  filed  Di'nah  their  sister,  and  said  unto  them.  We 
can  not  do  this  thing,  to  give  our  sister  to  one  that 
is  uncircumcised ;  for  that  were  a  reproach  unto  us : 

15 only  on  this  condition  will  we  consent  unto  you:  if 
ye  will  be  as  we  be,  that  every  male  of  you  be  cir- 

16cumcised;  then  will  we  give  our  daughters  unto 
you,  and  we  will  take  your  daughters  to  us,  and  we 
will  dwell  with  you,  and  we  will  become  one  people.

17  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  us,  to  be  circumcised; 
then  will  we  take  our  daughter,  and  we  will  be  gone. 

18  And  their  words  pleased  Ha'mor  and  She'chem  Ha'- 
mor's  son. 

19  And  the  young  man  deferred  not  to  do  the  thing, 
because  he  had  delight  in  Ja'cob's  daughter:  and  he  was 
'more  honourable  than  all  the  house  of  his  father. 

20  ^[And  Ha'mor  and  She'chem  his  son  came  unto  the  gate 
oftheir  city,  and  communed  with  the  men  of  their  city,  saying, 

21  These  men  are  peaceable  with  us;  therefore  let  them 
dwell  in  the  land,  and  trade  therein :  for  the  land,  behold, 
it  is  large  enough  for  them ;  let  us  take  their  daughters  to 
us  for  wives,  and  let  us  give  them  our  daughters. 

22  Only  herein  will  the  men  consent  unto  us  for  to  dwell 
with  us,  to  be  one  people,  if  every  male  among  us  be  cir- 
cumcised, as  they  are  circumcised. 

23  Shall  not  their  cattle  and  their  substance  and  every 
beast  of  theirs  be  ours  ?  only  let  us  consent  unto  them,  and 
they  will  dwell  with  us. 

24  And  unto  Ha'mor  and  unto  She'chem  his  son  hearkened 
all  that  ''went  out  of  the  gate  of  his  city ;  arid  every  male 
was  circumcised,  all  that  went  out  of  the  gate  of  his  city. 

25  *f[And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  third"  day,  when  they 
were  sore,  that  two  of  the  sons  of  Ja'cob,  'Sim'e-on  and 
Le'vi,  Di'nah's  brethren,  took  each  man  his  sword,  and 
came  upon  the  city  boldly,  and  slew  all  the  males. 

26  And  they  slew  Ha'mor  and  She'chem  his  son  with  the 
fedge  of  the  sword,  and  took  Di'nah  out  of  She'chem's 
house,  and  went  out. 

27  The  sons  of  Ja'cob  came  upon  the  slain,  and  spoiled 
the  city,  because  they  had  defiled  their  sister. 

28  They  took  their  sheep,  and  their  oxen,  and  their  asses, 
and  that  which  was  in  the  city,  and  that  which  was  in  the  field, 

29  And  all  their  wealth,  and  all  their  little  ones,  and  their 
wives  took  they  captive,  and  spoiled  even  all  that  was  in 
the  house. 

30  And  Ja'cob  said  to  Sim'e-on  and  Le'vi,  'Ye  have  "troubled 
me  *to  make  me  to  stink  among  the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
among  the  Ca'naan-ites  and  the  Per'iz-zites :  "and  I  being  few 
in  number,  they  shall  gather  themselves  together  against  me, 
and  slay  me ;  and  I  shall  be  destroyed,  I  and  my  house. 

31  And  they  said.  Should  he  deal  with  our  sister  as  with 
a  harlot? 

CHAPTER  XXXV. 

Racket  dieih  in  the  way  to  Edar — The  sons  of  Jacob — Burial  of  Isaac. 

AND  God  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Arise,  go  up  to  "Beth'-el,  and 
dwell  there :  and  make  there  an  altar  unto  God,  Hhat 
appeared  unto  thee  "when  thou  fleddest  from  the  fece  of 
E'sau  thy  brother. 

2  Then  Ja'cob  said  unto  his  "Tiousehold,  and  to  all  that 
loere  with  him.  Put  away  'the  strange  gods  that  are  among 
you,  and  -'^be  clean,  and  change  your  garments : 

3  And  let  us  arise,  and  go  up  to  Beth'-el ;  and  I  will  make 
there  an  altar  unto  God,  "who  answered  me  in  the  day  of 
my  distress,  ''and  was  with  me  in  the  way  which  I  went. 

4  And  they  gave  unto  Ja'cob  all  the  strange  gods  which  were 
in  their  hand,  and  all  their  'earrings  which  were  in  their  ears ; 
and  Ja'cob  hid  them  under  'the  oak  which  was  by  She'chem. 

5  And  they  journeyed :  and  'the  terror  of  God  was  upon 
the  cities  that  were  round  about  them,  and  they  did  not 
pursue  after  the  sons  of  Ja'cob. 

6  ^[So  Ja'cob  came  to  "'Luz,  which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
that  is,  Beth'-el,  he  and  all  the  people  that  were  with  him. 

7  And  he  "built  there  an  altar,  and  called  the  place  ||E1- 
beth'-el ;  because  "there  God  appeared  unto  him,  when  he 
fled  from  the  face  of  his  brother. 

8  But  "Deb'o-rah  Ee-bek'ah's  nurse  died,  and  she  was 
buried  beneath  Beth'-el  under  an  oak :  and  the  name  of  it 
was  called  ||  Al'lon-bach'uth. 


17  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  us,  to  be  circumcised ; 
then  will  we  take  our  daughter,  and  we  will  be  gone. 

18  And    their  words   pleased    Ha'mor,    and   She'chem 
19Ha'mor's  son.     And  the  young  man  deferred  not  to 

do   the   thi?ig,  because   he  had   delight  in  Ja'cob's 
daughter:    and    he    was    honoured   above    all    the 

20  house  of  his  father.  And  Ha'mor  and  She'chem 
his  son  came  unto  the  gate  of  their  city,  and  com- 

21  muned  with  the  men  of  their  city,  saying.  These 
men  are  peaceable  with  us ;  therefore  let  them  dwell 
in  the  land,  and  trade  therein ;  for,  behold,  the  land 
is  large  enough  for  them ;  let  us  take  their  daughters 
to  us  for  wives,  and  let  us  give  them  our  daughters. 

22  Only  on  this  condition  will  the  men  consent  unto  us 
to  dwell  with  us,  to  become  one  people,  if  every 
male  among  us  be  circumcised,  as  they  are  circum- 

23cised.  Shall  not  their  cattle  and  their  substance 
and   all   their  beasts  be   ours?  only  let  us  consent 

24  unto  them,  and  they  will  dwell  with  us.  And  unto 
Ha'mor  and  unt  She'chem  his  son  hearkened  all 
that  went  out  of  the  ~itc  of  his  city ;  and  every 
male  was  circumcised,  r '!   that  went  out  of  the  gate 

25  of  his  city.  And  it  c,  le  to  pass  on  the  third  day, 
when  they  were  sore,  tl  it  two  of  the  sons  of  Ja'cob, 
Sim'e-on  and  Le'vi,  Di'iiah's  brethren,  took  each  man 
his  sword,  and  came  upon  the  city  'unavvares,  and 

26  slew  all  the  males.  And  they  slew  lia'mor  and 
She'chem  his  son  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
took  Di'nah  out  of  She'chem's  house,  and  went  forth. 

27  The  sons  of  Ja'cob  came  upon  the  slain,  and  spoiled 

28  the  city,  because  they  had  defiled  their  sister.  They 
took  their  flocks  and  their  herds  and  their  asses, 
and  that  which  wrr  in  the  city,  and  that  which  was 

29  in  the  field ;  and  tdl  their  wealth,  and  all  their  little 
ones  and  their  wives,  took  they  captive  and  spoiled, 

30  even  all  that  was  in  the  house.  And  Ja'cob  said  to 
Sim'e-on  and  Le'vi,  Ye  have  troubled  me,  to  make  me 
to  stink  among  the  inhabiti^nts  of  the  land,  among 
the  Ca'naan-ites  and  th:  Per'iz-zites :  and,  I  being  few 
in  number,  they  will  gather  themselves  together 
against  me  and  smite  me ;  and  I  shall  be  destroyed, 

31 1  and  my  house.  And  they  said.  Should  he  deal 
with  our  sister  as  with  an  harlot? 

OO  A  nd  God  said  unto  Ja'cob,  Arise,  go  up  to  Beth'-el, 
and  dwell  there :  and  make  there  an  altar  unto  God, 
who  appeared  unto  thee  when  thou  fleddest  from 
2  the  face  of  E'sau  thy  brother.  Then  Ja'cob  said 
unto  his  household,  and  to  all  that  were  with  him. 
Put  away  the  strange  gods  that  are  among  you,  and 
3 purify  yourselves,  and  change  your  garments:  and 
let  us  arise,  and  go  up  to  Beth'-el ;  and  I  will  make 
there  an  altar  unto  God,  who  answered  me  in  the 
day  of  my  distress,  and  was  with   me  in  the  way 

4  which  I  went.  And  they  gave  unto  Ja'cob  all  the 
strange  gods  which  were  in  their  hand,  and  the 
rings  which  were  in  their  ears ;  and  Ja'cob  hid  them 

5  under  the  ^oak  which  was  by  She'chem.  And  they 
journeyed :  and  %  great  terror  was  upon  the  cities 
that    were    round    about    them,  and   they  did  not 

6  pursue  after  the  sons  of  Ja'cob.  So  Ja'cob  came  to 
Luz,  which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan  (the  same  is 
Beth'-el),  he  and  all  the  people  that  were  with  him. 

7  And  he  built  there  an  altar,  and  called  the  place 
*El-beth'-el :  because  there  God  was  revealed  unto 

8  him,  when  he  fled  from  the  face  of  his  brother.  And 
Deb'o-rah  Re-bek'ah's  nurse  died,  and  she  was 
buried  below  Beth'-el  under  the  oak :  and  the  name 
of  it  was  called  'Al'lon-bac'uth.

9  ^And  'God  appeared  unto  Ja'cob  again,  when  he  came 
out  of  Pa'dan-a'ram,  and  blessed  him. 

10  And  God  said  unto  him,  Thy  name  is  Ja'cob :  'thy 
name  shall  not  be  called  any  more  Ja'cob,  'but  Is'ra-el  shall 
be  thy  name ;  and  he  called  his  name  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  God  said  unto  him,  'I  am  God  Almighty :  be  fruit- 
ful and  niultiply ;  "a  nation  and  a  company  of  nations  shall 
be  of  thee,  and  kings  shall  come  out  of  thy  loins ; 

1 2  And  the  land  "which  I  gave  A'bra-ham  and  I'saac,  to  thee 
I  will  give  it,  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee  will  I  give  the  land. 

13  And  God  ""went  up  from  him  in  the  place  where  he 
talked  with  him. 

14  And  Ja'cob  ^set  up  a  pillar  in  the  place  where  he  talked 
with  him,  even  a  pillar  of  stone :  and  he  poured  a  drink- 
offering  thereon,  and  he  poured  oil  thereon. 

15  And  Ja'cob  called  the  name  of  the  place  where  God 
spake  with  him,  'Beth'-el. 

16  ^And  they  journeyed  from  Beth'-el ;  and  there  was  but 
fa  little  way  to  come  to  Eph'rath :  and  Ra'chel  travailed, 
and  she  had  hard  labour. 

1 7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  was  in  hard  labour,  that  the 
midwife  said  unto  her.  Fear  not ;  "thou  shalt  have  this  son  also. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  her  soul  was  in  departing,  (for 
she  died,)  that  she  called  his  name  ||  Ben-o'ni :  but  his  father 
called  him  ||  Ben'ja-min. 

19  And  ''Ea'chel  died,  and  was  buried  in  the  way  to 
''Eph'rath,  which  is  Beth'-Ie-hem. 

20  And  Ja'cob  set  a  pillar  upon  her  grave :  that  is  the 
pillar  of  Ra'chel's  grave  ''unto  this  day. 

21  ^And  Is'ra-el  journeyed,  and  spread  his  tent  beyond 
'"the  tower  of  E'dar. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  that  land,  that 
Reu'ben  went  and  -Oay  with  Bil'hah  his  father's  concubine  : 
and  Is'ra-el  heard  it.     Now  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  were  twelve : 

23  The  sons  of  Le'ah ;  "Reu'ben,  Jac'ob's  firstborn,  and 
Sim'e-on,  and  Le'vi,  and  Ju'dah,  and  Is'sa-char,  and  Zeb'u-lun: 

24  The  sons  of  Ra'chel ;  Jo'seph,  and  Ben'ja-min  : 

25  And  the  sons  of  Bil'hah,  Ra'chel's  handmaid ;  Dan,  and 
Naph'ta-li : 

26  And  the  sons  of  Zil'pah,  Le'ah's  handmaid ;  Gad,  and 
Ash'er.  These  are  the  sons  of  Ja'cob,  which  were  born  to 
him  in  Pa'dan-a'ram. 

27  ^And  Ja'cob  came  unto  I'saac  his  father  unto  *Mam're, 
unto  the  'city  of  Ar'bah,  which  is  He'bron,  where  A'bra-ham 
and  I'saac  sojourned. 

28  And  the  days  of  I'saac  were  a  hundred  and  fourscore 
years. 

29  And  I'saac  gave  up  the  ghost,  and  died,  and  *was  gath- 
ered unto  his  people,  being  old  and  full  of  days :  and  'his 
sons  E'sau  and  Ja'cob  buried  him. 

CHAPTER  XXXVI. 

Esau's  three  wives^His  removal  to  Mount  Seir. 

NOW  these  are  the  generations  of  E'sau,  "who  is  E'dom. 
2  'E'sau  took  his  wives  of  the  daughters  of  Ca'naan ; 
A'dah  the  daughter  of  E'lon  the  Hit'tite,  and  "A-ho-lib'a-mah 
the  daughter  of  A'nah  the  daughter  of  Zib'e-on  the  Hi'vite ; 

3  And''Bash'e-math  Ish'ma-el'sdaughter,sister ofNe-ba'joth. 

4  And  'A'dah  bare  to  E'sau  El'i-phaz ;  and  Bash'e-math 
bare  Reu'el; 

5  And  A-ho-lib'a-mah  bare  Je'ush,  and  Ja-a'lam,  and 
Ko'rah :  these  aire  the  sons  of  E'sau,  which  were  born  unto 
him  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

6  And  E'sau  took  his  wives,  and  his  sons,  and  his  daugh- 
ters, and  all  the  fpersons  of  his  house,  and  his  cattle,  and  all 
his  beasts,  and  all  his  substance,  which  he  had  got  in  the 
land  of  Ca'naan ;  and  went  into  the  country  from  the  face 
of  his  brother  Ja'cob. 

7  -'^For  their  riches  were  more  than  that  they  might  dwell 


9    And    God   appeared   unto  Ja'cob  again,  when  he 

10  came  from  Pad'dan-a'ram,  and  blessed  him.  And 
God  said  unto  him.  Thy  name  is  Ja'cob :  thy  name 
shall  not  be  called  any  more  Ja'cob,  but  Is'ra-el  shall 

11  be  thy  name :  and  he  called  his  name  Is'ra-el.  And 
God  said  unto  him,  I  am  'God  Almighty :  be  fruit- 
ful and  multiply ;  a  nation  and  a  company  of  nations 
shall  be  of  thee,  and  kings  shall  come  out  of  thy 

12  loins ;  and  the  land  which  I  gave  unto  A'bra-ham  and 
I'saac,  to  thee  I  will  give  it,  and  to  thy  seed  after 

13  thee  will  I  give  the  land.     And  God  went  up  from 

14  him  in  the  place  where  he  spake  with  him.  And 
Ja'cob  set  up  a  pillar  in  the  place  where  he  spake 
with  him,  a  pillar  of  stone :   and  he  poured  out  a 

15  drink  offering  thereon,  and  poured  oil  thereon.  And 
Ja'cob  called   the   name   of  the   place   where   God 

16  spake  with  him,  Beth'-el.  And  they  journeyed  from 
Beth'-el ;  and  there  was  still  some  way  to  come  to 
Eph'rath :  and  Ra'chel  travailed,  and  she  had  hard 

17  labour.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  was  in  hard 
labour,  that  the  midwife  said  unto  her.  Fear  not ; 

18  for  now  thou  shalt  have  another  son.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  as  her  soul  was  in  departing  (for  she  died), 
that   she  called  his  name  ^Ben-o'ni :  but  his  father 

19  called  him  ^Ben'ja-min.  And  Ra'chel  died,  and  was 
buried  in  the  way  to  Eph'rath  (the  same  is  Beth'- 

20  le-hem).  And  Ja'cob  set  up  a  pillar  upon  her  grave : 
the  same  is  the  Pillar  of  Ra'chel's  grave  unto  this 

21  day.     And  Is'ra-el  journeyed,  and  spread  his  tent  be- 
22yond  the  tower  of  E'der.     And  it  came    to    pass 

while  Is'i-a-el  dwelt  in  that  land,  that  Reu'ben  went 
and  lay  with  Bil'hah  his  tather's  concubine :  and 
Is'ra-el  heard  of  it. 

23  Now  the  sons  of  Ja'cob  were  twelve :  the  sons  of 
Le'ah ;  Reu'ben,  Ja'cob's  firstborn,  and  Sim'e-on,  and 

24  Le'vi,  and  Ju'dah,  and  Is'sa-char,  and  Zeb'u-lun :  the 
25 sons  of  Ra'chel;  Jo'seph  and  Ben'ja-min:   and  the 

sons   of    Bil'hah,    Ra'chel's   handmaid ;    Dan    and 

26  Naph'ta-li :  and  the  sons  of  Zil'pah,  Le'ah's  handmaid; 
Gad  and  Ash'er :  these  are  the  sons  of  Ja'cob,  which 

27  were  born  to  him  in  Pad'dan-a'ram.  And  Ja'cob 
came  unto  I'saac  his  father  to  Mam're,toKir'i-ath-ar'ba 
(the  same  is  He'bron),  where  A'bra-ham  and  I'saac 

28  sojourned.     And  the  days  of  I'saac  were  an  hundred 

29  and  fourscore  years.  And  I'saac  gave  up  the  ghost, 
and  died,  and  was  gathered  unto  his  people,  old  and 
full  of  days :  and  E'sau  and  Ja'cob  his  sons  buried 
him. 

■^O     Now  these  are  the  generations  of  E'sau  (the  same 

2  is  E'dom).  E'sau  took  his  wives  of  the  daughters  of 
Ca'naan;  A'dah  the  daughter  of  E'lon  the  Hit'tite, 
and  O-ho-lib'a-mah  the  daughter  of  A'nah,  the  ^daugh- 

3  ter  of  Zib'e-on  the  Hi'vite ;  and  Bas'e-math  Ish'ma-el's 

4  daughter,  sister  of  Ne-ba'ioth.     And  A'dah  bare  to 

5  E'sau  El'i-phaz ;  and  Bas'e-math  bare  Reu'el ;  and 
O-ho-lib'a-mah  bare  Je'ush,  and  Ja'lam,  and  Ko'rah  : 
these  are  the  sons  of  E'sau,  which  were  born  unto  him 

6  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan.  And  E'sau  took  his  wives,  and 
his  sons,  and  his  daughters,  and  all  the  souls  of  his 
house,  and  his  cattle,  and  all  his  beasts,  and  all  his  pos- 
sessions, which  he  had  gathered  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan ; 
and  went  into  a  land  away  from  his  brother  Ja'cob. 

7  For  their  substance  was  too  great  for  them  to  dwell

35  And  Hu'sham  died,  and  Ha'dad  the  son  of  Be'dad, 
who  smote  Mid'i-an  in  the  field  of  Mo'ab,  reigned

CHAPTER  XXXVII. 

Joseph's  two  dreams—His  brethren  conspire  his  death— Sold  to  Potiphar. 

AND  Ja'cob  dwelt  in  the  land  fwherein  his  father  was 
a  stranger,  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

2  These  are  the  generations  of  Ja'cob.  Jo'seph  temg' seven- 
teen years  old,  was  feeding  the  flock  with  his  brethren ;  and 
the  lad  was  with  the  sons  of  Bil'hah,  and  with  the  sons  of 
Zil'pah,  his  father's  wives:  and  Jo'seph  brought  unto  his 
father  'their  evil  report. 

3  Now  Is'ra-el  loved  Jo'seph  more  than  all  his  children,  be- 
cause he  was  "the  son  of  his  old  age:  and  he  made  him 
a  coat  of  many  \\  colours. 

4  And  when  his  brethren  saw  that  their  father  loved  him 
more  than  all  his  brethren,  they  ''hated  him,  and  could  not 
speak  peaceably  unto  him. 

5  ^And  Jo'seph  dreamed  a  dream,  and  he  told  it  his 
brethren :  and  they  hated  him  yet  the  more. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them.  Hear,  I  pray  you,  this  dream 
which  I  have  dreamed: 

7  For,  ^behold,  we  were  binding  sheaves  in  the  field,  and,  lo, 
my  sheaf  arose,  and  also  stood  upright ;  and,  behold,  your 
sheaves  stood  round  about,  and  made  obeisance  to  my  sheaf. 

8  And  his  brethren  said  to  him,  Shalt  thou  indeed  reign 
over  us?  or  shalt  thou  indeed  have  dominion  over  us?  And 
they  hated  him  yet  the  more  for  his  dreams,  and  for  his  words. 

9  ^And  he  dreamed  yet  another  dream,  and  told  it  his 
brethren,  and  said.  Behold,  I  have  dreamed  a  dream  more ; 
and,  behold, -^the  sun  and  the  moon  and  the  eleven  stars 
made  obeisance  to  me. 

10  And  he  told  it  to  his  father,  and  to  his  brethren :  and 
his  father  rebuked  him,  and  said  unto  him.  What  is  this 
dream  that  thou  hast  dreamed?  Shall  I  and  thy  mother 
and  "thy  brethren  indeed  come  to  bow  down  ourselves  to 
thee  to  the  earth? 

11  And  ''his  brethren  envied  him;  but  his  father 'observed 
the  saying. 

12  *iyAnd  his  brethren  went  to  feed  their  father's  flock  in 
She'chem. 

13  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Jo'seph,  Do  not  thy  brethren 
feed  the  flock  in  She'chem  ?  come,  and  I  will  send  thee  unto 
them.     And  he  said  to  him,  Here  am  I. 

14  And  he  said  to  him.  Go,  I  pray  thee,  fsee  whether  it 
be  well  with  thy  brethren,  and  well  with  the  flocks;  and 
bring  me  word  again.  So  he  sent  him  out  of  the  vale  of 
*He'bron,  and  he  came  to  She'chem. 

15  ^And  a  certain  man  found  him,  and,  behold,  he  was 
wandering  in  the  field:  and  the  man  asked  him,  saying. 
What  seekest  thou? 

16  And  he  said,  I  seek  my  brethren  :  "tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
where  they  feed  their  flacks. 


36  And  Ha'dad  died,  and  Sam'lah  of  Mas're-kah  reigned 

37  in  his  stead.     And  Sam'lah  died,  and  Sha'ul  of  Re- 

38  ho'both  by  the  River  reigned  in  his  stead.  And  Sha'ul 
died,  and  Ba'al-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ach'bor  reigned  in 

39  his  stead.  And  Ba'al-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ach'bor  died, 
and  'Ha'dar  reigned  in  his  stead  :  and  the  name  of  his 
city  was  ^Pa'u ;  and  his  wife's  name  was  Me-het'a-bel, 
daughter    of  Ma'tred,  the   daughter  of  Mez'a-hab. 

40  And  these  are  the  names  of  the  dukes  that  came  of 
E'sau,  according  to  their  families,  after  their  places, 
by  their  names;  duke  Tim'nah,  duke  'Al'vah,  duke 

41  Je'theth;  duke  O-ho-lib'a-mah,  duke  E'lah,  duke 
42 Pi'non;  duke  Ke'naz,  duke  Te'man,  duke  Mib'zar; 
43  duke  Mag'di-el,  duke  I'ram :  these  be  the  dukes  of 

E'dom,  according  to  their  habitations  in  the  land 
of  their  possession.  This  is  E'sau  the  father  of  Hhe 
E'dom-ites. 

^/  And  Ja'cob  dwelt  in  the  land  of  his  father's  so- 
2journings,  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan.  These  are  the 
generations  of  Ja'cob.  Jo'seph,  being  seventeen 
years  old,  was  feeding  the  flock  with  his  brethren; 
and  he  was  a  lad  with  the  sons  of  Bil'hah,  and  with 
the  sons  of  Zil'pah,  his  father's  wives:  and  Jo'seph 
brought  the  evil  report  of  them  unto  their  father. 

3  Now  Is'ra-el  loved  Jo'seph  more  than  all  his  children, 
because  he  was  the  son  of  his  old  age :  and  he  made 

4  him  'a  coat  of  many  colours.  And  his  brethren  saw 
that  their  father  loved  him  more  than  all  his  breth- 
ren;   and   they    hated    him,  and  could   not  speak 

5  peaceably  unto  him.  And  Jo'seph  dreamed  a  dream, 
and  he  told  it  to  his  brethren:  and  they  hated  him 

6  yet  the  more.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Hear, 
I  pray  you,  this    dream  which   I  have    dreamed: 

7  for,  behold,  we  were  binding  sheaves  in  the  field, 
and,  lo,  my  sheaf  arose,  and  also  stood  upright; 
and,  behold,  your  sheaves  came  round  about,  and 

8  made  obeisance  to  my  sheaf.  And  his  brethren 
said  to  him,  Shalt  thou  indeed  reign  over  us?  or 
shalt  thou  indeed  have  dominion  over  us?  And 
they  hated  him  yet  the   more  for  his  dreams,  and 

9  for  his  words.  And  he  dreamed  yet  another  dream, 
and  told  it  to  his  brethren,  and  said,  Behold,  I  have 
dreamed  yet  a  dream ;  and,  behold,  the  sun  and  the 

10  moon  and  eleven  stars  made  obeisance  to  me.  And 
he  told  it  to  his  father,  and  to  his  brethren ;  and  his 
father  rebuked  him,  and  said  unto  him.  What  is  this 
dream  that  thou  hast  dreamed?  Shall  I  and  thy 
mother  and  thy  brethren  indeed  come  to  bow  down 

11  ourselves  to  thee  to  the  earth?  And  his  brethren 
envied  him ;  but  his  father  kept  the  saying  in  mind. 

12  And  his  brethren  went  to  feed  their  father's  flock  in 

13  She'chem.  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Jo'seph,  Do  not 
thy  brethren  feed  the  flock  in  She'chem?  come, 
and  I  will  send  thee  unto  them.     And  he  said  to 

14  him.  Here  am  I.  And  he  said  to  him.  Go  now, 
see  whether  it  be  well  with  thy  brethren,  and 
well  with  the  flock;  and  bring  me  word  again. 
So  he  sent  him  out  of  the  vale  of  He'bron,  and 

15  he  came  to  She'chem.  And  a  certain  man  found 
him,  and,  behold,  he  was  wandering  in  the  field: 
and    the    man    asked    him,    saying.    What   seekest 

16 thou?  And  he  said,  I  seek  my  brethren:  tell 
me,  I  pray  thee,  where  they  are  feeding  the  flack.

17  And  the  man  said,  They  are  departed  hence ;  for  I  heard 
them  say,  Let  us  go  to  Do'than.  And  Jo'seph  went  after  his 
brethren,  and  found  them  in  "'Do'than. 

18  And  ■when  they  sa-w  him  afar  off,  even  before  he  came 
near  unto  them,  "^hey  conspired  against  him  to  slay  him. 

19  And  they  said  one  toanother,Behold,thistdreamer  Cometh. 

20  "Come  now  therefore,  and  let  us  slay  him,  and  cast  him 
into  some  pit,  and  we  will  say.  Some  evil  beast  hath  devoured 
him ;  and  we  shall  see  what  will  become  of  his  dreams. 

21  And  "Reu'ben  heard  it,  and  he  delivered  him  out  of 
their  hands ;  and  said.  Let  us  not  kill  him. 

22  And  Reu'ben  said  unto  them.  Shed  no  blood,  but  cast 
him  into  this  pit  that  is  in  the  wilderness,  and  lay  no  hand 
upon  him ;  that  he  might  rid  him  out  of  their  hands,  to  de- 
liver him  to  his  father  again. 

23  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jo'seph  was  come  unto  his 
brethren,  that  they  stripped  Jo'seph  out  of  his  coat,  his  coat 
of  many  1 1  colours  that  was  on  him; 

24  And  they  took  him,  and  cast  him  into  a  pit:  and  the 
pit  was  empty,  there  was  no  water  in  it. 

25  "And  they  sat  down  to  eat  bread :  and  ■  they  lifted  up 
their  eyes  and  looked,  and,  behold,  a  company  of  ''Ish'ma-el- 
ites  came  from  Gil'e-ad,  with  their  camels  bearing  spicery 
and  'balm  and  myrrh,  going  to  carry  it  down  to  E'gypt. 

26  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  his  brethren.  What  profit  is  it  if 
we  slay  our  brother,  and  'conceal  his  blood? 

27  Come,  and  let  us  sell  him  to  the  Ish'ma-el-ites,  and  "let 
not  our  hand  be  upon  him ;  for  he  is  ^our  brother,  and  "our 
flesh :  and  his  brethren  fwere  content. 

28  Then  there  passed  by  ''Mid'i-an-ites  merchantmen ;  and 
they  drew  and  lifted  up  Jo'seph  out  of  the  pit,  "and  sold 
Jo'seph  to  the  Ish'ma-el-ites  for  Hwenty  pieces  of  silver :  and 
they  brought  Jo'seph  into  E'gypt. 

29  ^And  Reu'ben  returned  unto  the  pit;  and,  behold, 
Jo'seph  was  not  in  the  pit ;  and  he  ''rent  his  clothes. 

30  And  he  returned  unto  his  brethren,  and  said.  The  child 
''is  not ;  and  I,  whither  shall  I  go  ? 

31  And  they  took  *Jo'seph's  coat,  and  killed  a  kid  of  the 
goats,  and  dipped  the  coat  in  the  blood  ; 

32  And  they  sent  the  coat  of  many  colours,  and  they 
brought  it  to  their  father;  and  said.  This  have  we  found: 
know  now  whether  it  be  thy  son's  coat  or  no. 

33  And  he  knew  it,  and  said,  It  is  my  son's  coat;  an-'^evil  beast 
hath  devoured  him ;  Jo'seph  is  without  doubt  rent  in  pieces. 

34  And  Ja'cob  "rent  his  clothes,  and  put  sackcloth  upon  his 
loins,  and  mourned  for  his  son  many  days. 

35  And  all  his  sons  and  all  his  daughters  ''rose  up  to  com- 
fort him;  but  he  refused  to  be  comforted;  and  he  said.  For 
'I  will  go  down  into  the  grave  unto  my  son  mourning. 
Thus  his  father  wept  for  him. 

36  And  'the  Mid'i-an-ites  sold  him  into  E'gypt  unto  Pot'i- 
phar,  an  fofficer  of  Pha'raoh's,  and  t||  captain  of  the  guard. 

CHAPTER    XXXVIII. 

Er  marrielh  Tamar—She  deceiveth  Judah—Pharez  and  Zarah. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time,  that  Ju'dah  went  down 
from  his  brethren,  and  "turned  in  to  a  certain  A-dul'lam- 
ite,  whose  name  was  Hi'rah. 

2  And  Ju'dah  ''saw  there  a  daughter  of  a  certain  Ca'naan-ite, 
whose  name  was  ''Shu'ah;  and  he  took  her,and  went  in  unto  her. 

3  And  she  conceived,  and  bare  a  son ;  and  he  called  his 
name  ''Er. 

4  And  she  conceived  again,  and  bare  a  son ;  and  she  called 
his  name  ^O'nan. 

5  And  she  yet  again  conceived,  and  bare  a  son  ;  and  called 
his  name-'^She'lah :  and  he  was  at  Che'zib,  when  she  bare  him. 

6  And  Ju'dah  "took  a  wife  for  Er,  his  firstborn,  whose  name 
was  Ta'mar. 

7  And  *Er,  Ju'dah's  firstborn,  was  wicked  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord;  *and  the  Lokd  slew  him. 


17  And  the  man  said,  They  are  departed  hence :  for  I 
heard  them  say.  Let  us  go  to  Do'than.  And  Jo'seph 
went  after  his  brethren,  and  found  them  in  Do'than. 

18  And  they  saw  him  afar  off,  and  before  he  came  near 
unto  them,  they  conspired  against  him  to  slay  him. 

19  And  they  said  one  to  another.  Behold,  this  'dreamer 
20cometh.     Come  now  therefore,  and  let  us  slay  him, 

and  cast  him  into  one  of  the  pits,  and  we  will  say. 
An  evil  beast  hath  devoured  him :  and  we  shall  see 

21  what  will  become  of  his  dreams.  And  Reu'ben  heard 
it,  and  delivered  him  out  of  their  hand;  and  said.  Let 

22  us  not  take  his  life.  And  Reu'ben  said  unto  them. 
Shed  no  blood ;  cast  him  into  this  pit  that  is  in  the 
wilderness,  but  lay  no  hand  upon  him :  that  he 
might  deliver  him  out  of  their  hand,  to  restore  him 

23  to  his  father.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jo'seph 
was  come  unto  his  brethren,  that  they  stript  Jo'seph 
of  his  coat,  the  coat  of  many  colours  that  was  on 

24  him ;  and  they  took  him,  and  cast  him  into  the  pit : 
and  the    pit  was  empty,  there  was  no  water  in  it. 

25 And  they  sat  down  to  eat  bread:  and  they  lifted 
up  their  eyes  and  looked,  and,  behold,  a  traveling 
company  of  Ish'ma-el-ites  came  from  Gil'e-ad,  with 
their  camels  bearing  ^spicery  and  ^balm  and  ^myrrh, 

26  going  to  carry  it  down  to  E'gypt.  And  Ju'dah 
said  unto  his  brethren,  what  profit  is  it  if  we  slay 

27 our  brother  and  conceal  his  blood?  Come,  and  let 
us  sell  him  to  the  Ish'ma-el-ites,  and  let  not  our 
hand  be  upon  him;  for  he  is  our  brother,  our  flesh. 

28  And  his  brethren  hearkened  unto  him.  And  there 
passed  by  Mid'i-an-ites,  merchantmen ;  and  they  drew 
and  lifted  up  Jo'seph  out  of  the  pit,  and  sold  Jo'seph 
to   the   Ish'ma-el-ites   for    twenty  pieces  of  silver. 

29  And  they  brought  Jo'seph  into  E'gypt.  And  Reu'- 
ben returned  unto  the  pit;  and,  behold,  Jo'seph  was 

30  not  in  the  pit ;  and  he  rent  his  clothes.  And  he  re- 
turned unto  his  brethren,  and  said.  The  child  is  not ; 

31  and  I,  whither  shall  I  go  ?  And  they  took  Jo'seph's 
coat,  and  killed  a  he-goat,  and  dipped  the  coat  in  the 

32 blood:  and  they  sent  the  coat  of  many  colours,  and 
they  brought  it  to  their  father ;  and  said.  This  have 
we  found :  know  now  whether  it  be  thy  son's  coat  or 

33  not.  And  he  knew  it,  and  said.  It  is  my  son's 
coat;  an  evil  beast  hath  devoured  him;  Jo'seph  is 

34  without  doubt  torn  in  pieces.  And  Ja'cob  rent  his 
garments,  and    put   sackcloth    upon   his  loins,  and 

35  mourned  for  his  son  many  days.  And  all  his  sons 
and  all  his  daughters  rose  up  to  comfort  him ;  but 
he  refused  to  be  comforted;  and  he  said.  For  I  will 
go  down  to  *the  grave  to  my  son  mourning.     And 

36  his  father  wept  for  him.  And  the  '^Mid'i-an-ites  sold 
him  into  E'gypt  unto  Pot'i-phar,  an  officer  of 
Pha'raoh's,  the  'captain  of  the  guard. 

OC7     And  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time,  that  Ju'dah  went 

down  from  his  brethren,  and  turned  in  to  a  certain 

2  A-dul'lam-ite,  whose  name  was  Hi'rah.     And  Ju'dah 

saw  there  a  daughter  of  a  certain  Ca'naan-ite  whose 

name  was  Shu'a ;  and  he  took  her,  and  went  in  unto 

3 her.     And  she  conceived,  and  bare  a  son;  and  he 

4  called  his  name  Er.     And  she  conceived  again,  and 

5  bare  a  son ;  and  she  called  his  name  O'nan.     And  she 
yet  again  bare  a  son,  and  called  his  name  She'lah : 

6  and  he  was  at  Che'zib,  when  she  bare  him.     And 
Ju'dah  took  a  wife  for  Er  his  firstborn,  and  her  name 

7  was  Ta'mar.     And  Er,  Ju'dah's  firstborn,  was  wicked 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  slew  him.

8  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  Cnan,  Go  in  unto  *tliy  brother's 
wife,  and  marry  her,  and  raise  up  seed  to  thy  brother. 

9  And  O'nan  knew  that  the  seed  should  not  be  'his ;  and 
it  came  to  pass,  when  he  went  in  unto  his  brother's  wife, 
that  he  spilled  it  on  the  ground,  lest  that  he  should  give 
seed  to  his  brother. 

10  And  the  thing  which  he  did  fdispleased  the  Loed  : 
wherefore  he  slew  '"him  also. 

1 1  Then  said  Ju'dah  to  Ta'mar  his  daughter  in  law,  "Remain 
a  widow  at  thy  father's  house,  till  She'lah  my  son  be  grown : 
for  he  said,  Lest  peradventure  he  die  also,  as  his  brethren 
did.     And  Ta'mar  went  and  dwelt  °in  her  fathei^s  house. 

12  And  fin  process  of  time,  the  daughter  of  Shu'ah  Ju'- 
dah's  wife  died ;  and  Ju'dah  "was  comforted,  and  went  up 
unto  his  sheepshearers  to  Tim'nath,  he  and  his  friend  Hi' rah 
the  Adul'lam-ite. 

13  And  it  was  told  Ta'mar,  saying.  Behold,  thy  father  in 
law  goeth  up  ^to  Tim'nath,  to  shear  his  sheep. 

14  And  she  put  her  widow's  garments  off  from  her,  and 
covered  her  with  a  veil,  and  wrapped  herself,  and  'sat  in 
fan  open  place,  which  is  by  the  way  to  Tim'nath ;  for  she 
saw  'that  She'lah  was  grown,  and  she  was  not  given  unto 
him  to  wife. 

15  When  Ju'dah  saw  her,  he  thought  her  to  be  a,  harlot ; 
because  she  had  covered  her  face. 

16  And  he  turned  unto  her  by  the  way,  and  said.  Go  to, 
I  pray  thee,  let  me  come  in  unto  thee ;  (for  he  knew  not 
that  she  was  his  daughter  in  law  :)  and  she  said.  What 
wilt  thou  give  me,  that  thou  mayest  come  in  unto  me  ? 

17  And  he  said,  "I  will  send  thee  fa  kid  from  the  flock, 
find  she  said,  ""Wilt  thou  give  me  a  pledge,  till  thou  send  it  f 

18  And  he  said.  What  pledge  shall  I  give  thee  ?  And  she 
said,  "'Thy  signet,  and  thy  bracelets,  and  thy  staff  that  is  in 
thine  hand.  And  he  gave  it  her,  and  came  in  unto  her,  and 
she  conceived  by  him. 

19  And  she  arose,  and  went  away,  and  "laid  by  her  veil 
from  her,  and  put  on  the  garments  of  her  widowhood. 

20  And  Ju'dah  sent  the  kid  by  the  hand  of  his  friend  the 
A-dul'lam-ite,  to  receive  his  pledge  from  the  wonmn's  hand : 
but  he  found  her  not. 

21  Then  he  asked  the  men  of  that  place,  saying.  Where  is 
the  harlot  that  was  ||  openly  by  the  way  side  ?  And  they 
said.  There  was  no  harlot  in  this  place. 

22  And  he  returned  to  Ju'dah,  and  said,  I  cannot  find  her ; 
and  also  the  men  of  the  place  said,  that  there  was  no  harlot 
in  this  place. 

23  And  Ju'dah  said.  Let  her  take  it  to  her,  lest  we  fbe 
shamed :  behold,  I  sent  this  kid,  and  thou  hast  not  found  her. 

24  ^And  it  came  to  pass  about  three  months  after,  that 
it  was  told  Ju'dah,  saying,  Ta'mar  thy  daughter  in  law  hath 
'played  the  harlot;  and  also,  behold,  she  is  with  child  by 
whoredom.  And  Ju'dah  said.  Bring  her  forth,  "and  let  her 
be  burnt. 

25  When  she  was  brought  forth,  she  sent  to  her  father  in 
law,  saying,  By  the  man  whose  these  are,  am  I  with  child : 
and  she  said,  'Discern,  I  pray  thee,  whose  are  these,  the 
signet,  and  bracelets,  and  staff. 

26  And  Ju'dah  ''acknowledged  them,  and  said,  'She  hath 
been  more  righteous  than  I;  because  that  •'^ I  gave  her  not 
to  She'lah  my  son.     And  he  knew  her  again  "no  more. 

27  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  time  of  her  travail,  that, 
behold,  twins  were  in  her  womb. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  travailed,  that  the  one 
put  out  his  hand  :  and  the  midwife  took  and  bound  upon 
his  hand  a  scarlet  thread,  saying.  This  came  out  first. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  drew  back  his  hand,  that, 
behold,  his  brother  came  out :  and  she  said,  ||  How  hast 
thou  broken  forth  ?  this  breach  be  upon  thee :  therefore  his 
name  was  called  II  'Pha'rez. 


8  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  CKnan,  Go  in  unto  thy  brother's 
wife,  and  'perform  the  duty  of  an  husband's  brother 

9  unto  her,  and  raise  up  seed  to  thy  brother.  And 
O'nan  knew  that  the  seed  should  not  be  his ;  and  it 
came  to  pass,  when  he  went  in  unto  his  brother's 
wife,  that  he  spilled  it  on  the  ground,  lest  he  should 

10  give  seed  to  his  brother.  And  the  thing  which  he 
did  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  :  and  he  slew 

11  him  also.  Then  said  Ju'dah  to  Ta'mar  his  daughter 
in  law,  Remain  a  widow  in  thy  father's  house,  till 
She'lah  my  son  be  grown  up  :  for  he  said.  Lest  he 
also  die,  like  his  brethren.     And  Ta'mar  went  and 

12  dwelt  in  her  father's  house.  And  in  process  of  time 
Shu'a's  daughter,  the  wife  of  Ju'dah,  died ;  and  Ju'dah 
was  comforted,  and  went  up  unto  his  sheepshearers 
to  Tim'nah,  he  and  his  friend  Hi' rah  the  A-dul'lam-ite 

13  And  it  was  told  Ta'mar,  saying,  Behold,  thy  father 

14  in  law  goeth  up  to  Tim'nah  to  shear  his  sheep.  And 
she  put  off  from  her  the  garments  of  her  widowhood, 
and  covered  herself  with  her  veil,  and  wrapped  her 
self,  and  sat  in  the  gate  of  E-na'im,  which  is  by  the 
way  to  Tim'nah :  for  she  saw  that  She'lah  was  grown 

15  up,  and  she  was  not  given  unto  him  to  wife.  When 
Ju'dah  saw  her,  he  thought  her  to  be  an  harlot ;  for 

16  she  had  covered  her  face.  And  he  turned  unto  her 
by  the  way,  and  said.  Go  to,  I  pray  thee,  let  me 
come  in  unto  thee :  for  he  knew  not  that  she  was 
his  daughter  in  law.     And  she  said,  What  wilt  thou 

17  give  me,  that  thou  mayest  come  in  unto  me  ?  And 
he  said,  I  will  send  thee  a  kid  of  the  goats  from  the 
flock.     And  she  said.  Wilt  thou  give  me  a  pledge, 

18  till  thou  send  it?  And  he  said.  What  pledge  shall 
I  give  thee  ?  And  she  said.  Thy  signet  and  thy 
cord,  and  thy  staff  that  is  in  thine  hand.  And  he 
gave  them  to  her,  and  came  in  unto  her,  and  she 

19  conceived  by  him.  And  she  arose,  and  went  away, 
and  put  off  her  veil  from  her,  and  put  on  the  gar- 

20  ments  of  her  widowhood.     And  Ju'dah  sent  the  kid 
of  the  goats  by  the  hand  of  his  friend  the  A-dul'lam 
ite,  to  receive  the  pledge  from  the  woman's  hand  : 

21  but  he  found  her  not.  Then  he  asked  the  men  of 
her  place,  saying.  Where  is  the  ^harlot,  that  was  at 
E-na'im  by  the  wayside  ?     And  they   said.    There 

22  hath  been  no  ^harlot  here.  And  he  returned  to 
Ju'dah,  and  said,  I  have  not  found  her ;  and  also  the 
men  of  the  place  said.  There  hath  been  no  %arlot 

23  here.  And  Ju'dah  said.  Let  her  take  it  to  her,  lest 
we  be  put  to   shame  :  behold,   I  sent  this  kid,  and 

24  thou  hast  not  found  her.  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
three  months  after,  that  it  was  told  Ju'dah,  saying, 
Ta'mar  thy  daughter  in  law  hath  played  the  harlot ; 
and  moreover,  behold,  she  is  with  child  by  whore- 
dom.    And  Ju'dah  said.  Bring  her  forth,  and  let  her 

25  be  burnt.  When  she  was  brought  forth,  she  sent  to 
her  father  in  law,  saying.  By  the  man,  whose  these 
are,  am  I  with  child  :  and  she  said.  Discern,  I  pray 
thee,  whose  are  these,  the  signet,  and  the  cords,  and 

26  the  staff.  And  Ju'dah  acknowledged  them,  and 
said.  She  is  more  righteous  than  1;  forasmuch  as 
I  gave  her  not  to  She'lah   my  son.     And  he  knew 

27  her  again  no  more.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
time  of  her  travail,  that,  behold,  twins  were  in  her 

28  womb.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  travailed, 
that  one  put  out  a  hand :  and  the  midwife  took 
and  bound  upon  his  baud  a  scarlet  thread,  saying, 

29  This  came  out  first.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  drew 
back  his  hand,  that,  behold,  his  brother  came  out : 
and  she  said,  ^Wherefore  hast  thou  made  a  breach 
for  thyself?  therefore  his  name  was  called  ^Pe'rez.

CFIAPTER  XXXIX. 

Joseph  in  Potiphar^s  house— He  resisieth  his  mistress's  temptation. 

AND  Jo'seph  was  brought  down  to  E'gypt ;  and  "Pot'i- 
phar,  an  officer  of  Pha'raoh,  captain  of  the  guard,  an 
E-gyp'tian,  'bought  him  of  the  hands  of  the  Ish'ma-el-ites, 
which  had  brought  him  down  thither. 

2  And  "the  Lord  was  with  Jo'seph,  and  he  was  a  prosperous 
man ;  and  he  was  in  the  house  of  his  master  the  E-gyp'tian. 

3  And  his  master  saw  that  the  Lord  was  with  him,  and  that 
the  Lord  ''made  all  that  he  did  to  prosper  in  his  hand. 

4  And  Jo'seph  ^found  grace  in  his  sight,  and  he  served 
him :  and  he  made  him  -^overseer  over  his  house,  and  all 
that  he  had  he  put  into  his  hand. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  from  the  time  that  he  had  made  him 
overseer  in  his  house,  and  over  all  that  he  had,  that  "the 
Lord  blessed  the  E-gyp'tian's  house  for  Jo'seph's  sake ;  and 
the  blessing  of  the  Lord  was  upon  all  that  he  had  in  the 
house,  and  in  the  field. 

6  And  he  left  all  that  he  had  in  Jo'seph's  hand ;  and  he 
knew  not  aught  he  had,  save  the  bread  which  he  did  eat. 
And  Jo'seph  ''was  a  goodly  person,  and  well  favoured. 

7  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  his  master's 
wife  cast  her  eyes  upon  Jo'seph  ;  and  she  said,  'Lie  with  me. 

8  But  he  refused,  and  said  unto  his  master's  wife,  Behold, 
my  master  wotteth  not  what  is  with  me  in  the  house,  and 
he  hath  committed  all  that  he  hath  to  my  hand ; 

9  There  is  none  greater  in  this  house  than  I ;  neither  hath 
he  kept  back  any  thing  from  me  but  thee,  because  thou  art 
his  wife  :  *how  then  can  I  do  this  great  wickedness,  and  'sin 
against  God  ? 

IC  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  she  spake  to  Jo'seph  day  by  day, 
that  he  hearkened  not  unto  her,  to  lie  by  her,or  to  be  with  her. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  about  this  time,  that  Jo'seph  went 
into  the  house  to  do  his  business ;  and  there  was  none  of 
the  men  of  the  house  there  within. 

12  And  '"she  caught  him  by  the  garment,  saying,  Lie  with 
me :  and  ae  left  his  garment  in  her  hand,  and  fled,  and  got 
him  out. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  saw  that  he  had  left  his 
garment  in  her  hand,  and  was  fled  forth, 

14  That  she  called  unto  the  men  of  her  house,  and  spake 
unto  them,  saying.  See,  he  hath  brought  in  a  He'brew  unto 
us  to  mock  us;  he  came  in  unto  me  to  lie  with  me,  and  I 
cried  with  a  floud  voice  : 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  heard  that  I  lifted  up  my 
voice  and  cried,  that  he  left  his  garment  with  me,  and  fled, 
and  got  him  out. 

16  And  she  laid  up  his  garment  by  her,  until  his  lord  came 
home. 

17  And  she  "spake  unto  him  according  to  these  words, 
saying.  The  He'brew  servant,  which  thou  hast  brought  unto 
us,  came  in  unto  me  to  mock  me : 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  I  lifted  up  my  voice  and  cried, 
that  he  left  his  garment  with  me,  and  fled  out. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  his  master  heard  the  words  of 
his  wife,  which  she  spake  unto  him,  saying.  After  this  manner 
did  thy  servant  to  me ;  that  his  "wrath  was  kindled. 

20  And  Jo'seph's  master  took  him,  and  ^put  him  into  the 
'prison,  a  place  where  the  king's  prisoners  were  bound :  and 
he  was  there  in  the  prison. 

21  ^But  the  Lord  was  with  Jo'seph,  and  fshewed  him 
mercy,  and  'gave  him  favour  in  the  sight  of  the  keeper  of 
the  prison. 

22  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  'committed  to  Jo'seph's 
hand  all  the  prisoners  that  were  in  the  prison ;  and  whatso- 
ever they  did  there,  he  was  the  doer  of  it. 


30  And  afterward  came  out  his  brother,  that  had  the 
scarlet  thread  upon  his  hand  :  and  his  name  was 
called  Ze'rah. 

^v  And  Jo'seph  was  brought  down  to  E'gypt:  and 
Pot'i-phar,  an  officer  of  Pha'raoh's,  the  captain  of  the 
guard,  an  E-gyp'tian,  bought  him  of  the  hand  of  the 
Ish'ma-el-ites,  which  had  brought  him  down  thither. 

2  And  the  Lord  was  with  Jo'seph,  and  he  was  a  pros- 
perous man ;   and  he  was  in  the  house  of  his  master 

3  the  E-gyp'tian.  And  his  master  saw  that  the  Lord 
was  with  him,  and  that  the  Lord  made  all  that  he 

4  did  to  prosper  in  his  hand.  And  Jo'seph  found 
grace  in  his  sight,  and  he  ministered  unto  him :  and 
he  made  him  overseer  over  his  house,  and  all  that 

5  he  had  he  put  into  his  hand.  And  it  came  to  pass 
from  the  time  that  he  made  him  overseer  in  his 
house,  and  over  all  that  he  had,  that  the  Lord 
blessed  the  E-gyp'tian's  house  for  Jo'seph's  sake ;  and 
the  blessing  of  the  Lord  was  upon  all  that  he  had, 

6  in  the  house  and  in  the  field.  And  he  left  all  that 
he  had  in  Jo'seph's  hand ;  and  'he  knew  not  aught 
that  was  with  him,  save  the  bread  which  he  did  eat. 

7  And  Jo'seph  was  comely,  and  well  favoured.  And 
it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  his  master's 
wife  cast  her  eyes  upon  Jo'seph ;  and  she  said,  Lie 

8  with  me.  But  he  refused,  and  said  unto  his  master's 
wife.  Behold,  my  master  ^knoweth  not  what  is  with 
me  in  the  house,  and  he  hath  put  all  that  he   hath 

9 into  my  hand;  'there  is  none  greater  in  this  house 
than  I;  neither  hath  he  kept  back  any  thing  from 
me  but  thee,  because  thou  art  his  wife :  how  then 
can  I  do  this  great  wickedness,  and  sin  against  God  ? 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  she  spake  to  Jo'seph  day  by 
day,  that  he  hearkened  not  unto  her,  to  lie  by  her, 

11  or  to  be  with  her.  And  it  came  to  pass  about  this 
time,  that  he  went  into  the  house  to  do  his  work ; 
and  there  was  none  of  the  men  of  the   house  there 

12 within.  And  she  caught  him  by  his  garment,  say 
ing.  Lie  with  me :  and  he  left  his  garment  in   her 

13 hand,  and  fled,  and  got  him  out.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  she  saw  that  he  had  left  his  garment  in 

14  her  hand,  and  was  fled  forth,  that  she  called  unto 
the  men  of  her  house,  and  spake  unto  them,  saying. 
See,  he  hath  brought  in  an  He'brew  unto  us  to  mocK 
us ;  he  came  in  unto  me  to  lie  with  me,  and  I  cried 

15 with  a  loud  voice:  and  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
heard  that  I  lifted  up  my  voice  and  cried,  that  he 
left  his  garment  by  me,  and  fled,  and  got  him   out. 

16  And  she   laid   up   his    garment    by    her,   until    his 

17  master  came  home.  And  she  spake  unto  him  ac- 
cording to  these  words,  saying,*The  He'brew  serv- 
ant,   which    thou    hast    brought  unto   us,  came  in 

18  unto  me  to  mock  me :  and  it  came  to  pa.ss,  as  I 
lifted  up  my  voice  and  cried,  that  he   left  his  gar- 

19ment  by  me,  and  fled  out.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  his  master  heard  the  words  of  his  wife,  which 
she  spake  unto  him,  saying.  After  this  manner  did 

20  thy  servant  to  me ;  that  his  wrath  was  kindled  And 
Jo'seph's  master  took  him,and  put  him  into  the  prison, 
the  place  where  the  king's  prisoners   were  bound : 

21  and  he  was  there  in  the  prison.  But  the  Lord  was  with 
Jo'seph,  and  shewed  kindness  unto  him,  and  gave 
him  iavour  in  the  sight  of  the  keeper  of  the  prison. 

22  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  committed  to  Jo'seph's 
hand  all  the  prisoners  that  were  in  the  prison ;  and 
whatsoever  they  did  there,  he  was  the  doer  of  it.

23  The  keeper  of  the  prison  looked  not  to  any  thing  that 
was  under  his  hand ;  because  the  Lokd  was  with  him,  and 
that  which  he  did,  the  Loed  made  it  to  prosper. 
CHAPTER  XL. 

The  butler  and  baker  of  Pharaoh — Ingratitude  of  the  butler, 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  the  "butler 
of  the  king  of  E'gypt  and  his  baker  had  offended  their 
lord  the  king  of  E'gypt. 

2  And  Pha'raoh  was  'wroth  against  two  of  his  officers, 
against  the  chief  of  the  butlers,  and  against  the  chief  of  the 
bakers. 

3  "And  he  put  them  in  ward  in  the  house  of  the  captain  of 
the  guard,  into  the  prison,  the  place  where  Jo'seph  was  bound. 

4  And  the  captain  of  the  guard  charged  Jo'seph  with  them, 
and  he  served  them:  and  they  continued  a  season  in  ward. 

5  ^And  they  dreamed  a  dream  both  of  them,  each  man 
his  dream  in  one  night,  each  man  according  to  the  inter- 
pretation of  his  dream,  the  butler  and  the  baker  of  the  king 
of  E'gypt,  which  were  bound  in  the  prison. 

6  And  Jo'seph  came  in  unto  them  in  the  morning,  and 
looked  upon  them,  and,  behold,  they  were  sad. 

7  And  he  asked  Pha'raoh's  officers  that  were  with  him  in 
the  ward  of  his  lord's  house,  saying,  Wherefore  flook  ye 
so  sadly  to-day? 

8  And  they  said  unto  him,  ''We  have  dreamed  a  dream,  and 
there  is  no  interpreter  of  it.  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  them,  'Do 
not  interpretations  belong  to  God  ?  tell  me  them,  I  pray  you. 

9  And  the  chief  butler  told  his  dream  to  Jo'seph,  and  said 
to  him.  In  my  dream,  behold,  a  vine  was  before  me ; 

10  And  in  the  vine  were  three  branches:  and  it  was  as 
though  it  budded,  and  her  blossoms  shot  forth ;  and  the 
clusters  thereof  brought  forth  ripe  grapes : 

11  And  Pha'raoh's  cup  was  in  my  hand:  and  I  took  the 
grapes,  and  pressed  them  into  Pha'raoh's  cup,  and  I  gave 
the  cup  into  Pha'raoh's  hand. 

12  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  him,  ■'^This  is  the  interpretation 
of  it :     The  three  branches  "are  three  days : 

13  Yet  within  three  days  shall  Pha'raoh  ''|  |  lift  up  thine  head, 
and  restore  thee  unto  thy  place;  and  thou  shalt  deliver 
Pha'raoh's  cup  into  his  hand,  after  the  former  manner  when 
thou  wast  his  butler. 

14  But  t*think  on  me  when  it  shall  be  well  with  thee,  and 
'shew  kindness,  I  pray  thee,  unto  me,  and  make  mention 
of  me  unto  Pha'raoh,  and  bring  me  out  of  this  house : 

15  For  indeed  I  was  stolen  away  out  of  the  land  of  the 
He'brews:  'and  here  also  have  I  done  nothing  that  they 
should  put  me  into  the  dungeon. 

16  When  the  chief  baker  saw  that  the  interpretation  was 
good,  he  said  unto  Jo'seph,  I  also  was  in  my  dream,  and, 
behold,  I  had  three  ||  white  baskets  on  my  head: 

17  And  in  the  uppermost  basket  there  was  of  all  manner 
of  fbakemeats  for  Pha'raoh :  and  the  birds  did  eat  them 
out  of  the  basket  u^on  my  head. 

18  And  Jo'seph  answered  and  said,  "This  is  the  interpre- 
tation thereof:  The  three  baskets  are  three  days: 

19  "Yet  within  three  days  shall  Pha'raoh  ||  lift  up  thy  head 
from  off  thee,  and  shall  hang  thee  on  a  tree ;  and  the  birds 
shall  eat  thy  flesh  from  off  thee. 

20  ^And  it  came  to  pass  the  third  day,  which  was  Pha'- 
raoh's "birthday,  that  he  "made  a  feast  unto  all  his  servants : 
and  he  "H  lifted  up  the  head  of  the  chief  butler  and  of  the 
chief  baker  among  his  servants. 

21  And  he  'restored  the  'jhief  butier  unto  his  butlership 
again;  and  'he  gave  the  cup  into  Pha'raoh's  hand: 

22  But  he  "hanged  the  chief  baker:  as  Jo'seph  had  inter- 
preted to  them. 

23  Yet  did  not  the  chief  butier  remember  Jo'seph,  but 
"fijrgat  him. 


23  Tiie  keeper  of  the  prison  looked  not  to  anything  that 
was  under  his  hand,  because  the  Lokd  was  with  him ; 
and  that  which  he  did,  the  Lord  made  it  to  prosper. 

^^  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  the 
butler  of  the  king  of  E'gypt  and  his  baker  offended 

2  their  lord  the  king  of  E'gypt.  And  Pha'raoh  was 
wroth  against  his  two  officers,  against  the  chief  of 

3  the  butlers,  and  again.st  the  chief  of  the  bakers.  And 
he  put  them  in  ward  in  the  house  of  the  captain  of 
the  guard,  into  the  prison,  the  place  where  Jo'seph 

4  was  bound.  And  the  captain  of  the  guard  charged 
Jo'seph  with  them,  and   he   ministered  unto  them : 

5  and  they  continued  a  season  in  ward.     And  they 
dreamed    a    dream    both    of  them,    each    man    his 
dream,  in  one  night,  each  man  according  to  the  in 
terpretation  of  his  dream,  the  butler  and  the  baker 
of  the  king  of  E'gypt,  which  were  bound  in  the 

6  prison.  And  Jo'seph  came  in  unto  them  in  the 
morning,  and    saw  them,   and,  behold,    they    were 

7  sad.  And  he  asked  Pha'raoh's  officers  that  were 
with  him  in  the  ward  in  his  master's  house,  saying, 

8 Wherefore  look  ye  so  sadly  to-day?  And  they 
said  unto  him.  We  have  dreamed  a  dream,  and 
there  is  none  that  can  interpret  it.  And  Jo'seph 
said  unto  them.  Do  not  interpretations  belong  to 

9  God  ?  tell  it  me,  I  pray  you.     And  the  chief  butler 

told  his  dream  to  Jo'seph,  and  said  to  him.  In  my 

10 dream,  behold,  a  vine  was  before   me;  and   in   the 

vine  were  three  branches:  and  it  was  as  though  it 

budded,  and  its  blossoms  shot  forth;   and  the  clus- 

11  ters  thereof  brought  forth  ripe  grapes:  and  Pha'- 
raoh's cup  was  in  my  hand;  and  I  took  the  grapes, 
and  pressed  them  into  Pha'raoh's  cup,  and  I  gave 

12  the  cup  into  Pha'raoh's  hand.  And  Joseph  said 
unto  him,  This  is  the  interpretation  of  it :  the  three 

13 branches  are  three  days;  within  yet  three  days  shall 
Pha'raoh  lift  up  thine  head,  and  restore  thee  unto 
thine  office :  and  thou  shalt  give  Pha'raoh's  cup  into 
his  hand,  after  the  former  manner  when  thou  wast 

14  his  butler.  But  have  me  in  thy  remembrance  when 
it  shall  be  well  with  thee,  and  shew  kindness,  I  pray 
thee,  unto  me,  and  make  mention  of  me  unto  Pha'- 

15raoh,  and  bring  me  out  of  this  house:  for  indeed  I 
was  stolen  away  out  of  the  land  of  the  He'brews ; 
and  here  also  have  I  done  nothing  that  they  should 

16  put  me  into  the  dungeon.  When  the  chief  baker 
saw  that  the  interpretation  was  good,  he  said  unto 
Jo'seph,  I  also  was  in  my  dream,  and,  behold,  three 

17 baskets  of  white  bread  were  on  my  head:  and  in 
the  uppermost  basket  there  was  of  all  manner  of 
bakemeats  for  Pha'raoh ;  and  the  birds  did  eat  tliem 

18  out  of  the  basket  upon  my  head.  And  Jo'seph  an- 
swered and  said.  This  is  the  interpretation  thereof: 

19 the  three  baskets  are  three  days;  within  yet  three 
days  shall  Pha'raoh  lift  up  thy  head  from  off  thee, 
and  shall  hang  thee  on  a  tree;  and  the  birds  shall 

20  eat  thy  flesh  from  off  thee.  And  it  came  to  pa.ss 
the  third  day,  which  was  Pha'raoh's  birthday,  that 
he  made  a  feast  unto  all  his  servants :  and  he  lifted 
up  the  head  of  the  chief  butler  and  the  head  of  the 

21  chief  baker  among  his  servants.  And  he  restored 
the  chief  butler  unto  his  butlership  again ;  and  he 

22  gave  the  cup  into  Pha'raoh's  hand :  but  he  hanged 
the  chief  baker:  as  Jo'seph  had  interpreted  to  them. 

23  Yet  did  not  the  chief  butler  remember  Jo'seph,  but 
forgat  him.

Pharaoh*!  two  dreams—Joseph  inierpreteth  them — the  famine  beginneth. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  two  full  years,  that 
Pha'raoh  dreamed :  and,  behold,  he  stood  by  the  river. 

2  And,  behold,  there  came  up  out  of  the  river  seven  well 
favoured  kine  and  fatfleshed ;  and  they  fed  in  a  meadow. 

3  And,  behold,  seven  other  kine  came  up  after  them  out 
of  the  river,  ill  favoured  and  leanfleshed  ;  and  stood  by  the 
other  kine  upon  the  brink  of  the  river. 

4  And  the  ill  favoured  and  leanfleshed  kine  did  eat  up  the 
seven  well  favoured  and  fat  kine.     So  Pha'raoh  awoke. 

5  And  he  slept  and  dreamed  the  second  time  :  and,  behold, 
seven  ears  of  corn  came  up  upon  one  stalk,  frank  and  good. 

6  And,  behold,  seven  thin  ears  and  blasted  with  the  east 
wind  sprung  up  after  them. 

7  And  the  seven  thin  ears  devoured  the  seven  rank  and 
full  ears.     And  Pha'raoh  awoke :  and,  behold,  it  was  a  dream. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning  "that  his  spirit  was 
troubled;  and  he  sent  and  called  for  all  the  ''magicians  of 
E'gypt,  and  all  the  '^wise  men  thereof:  and  Pha'raoh  told 
them  his  dream  :  but  there  was  none  that  could  interpret 
them  unto  Pha'raoh. 

9  '^Then  spake  the  chief  butler  unto  Pha'raoh,  saying,  I  do 
remember  my  faults  this  day  : 

10  Pha'raoh  was'^wrothwith  his  servants,i''and  put  me  inward 
in  the  captain  of  the  guard's  house,  both  me  and  the  chief  baker : 

11  And  ■'we  dreamed  a  dream  in  one  night,  I  and  he;  we 
dreamed  each  man  according  to  the  interpretation  of  his 
dream. 

12  And  there  was  there  with  us  a  young  man,  a  Hebrew, 
"servant  to  the  captain  of  the  guard ;  and  we  told  him,  and 
he  ''interpreted  to  us  our  dreams ;  to  each  man  according  to 
his  dream  he  did  interpret. 

lo  And  it  came  to  pass,  'as  he  interpreted  to  us,  so  it  was; 
me  he  restored  unto  mine  office,  and  him  he  hanged. 

14  ^*Then  Pha'raoh  sent  and  called  Jo'seph,  and  they 
'fbrought  him  hastily  "out  of  the  dungeon  :  and  he  shaved 
himself,  and  changed  his  raiment,  and  came  in  unto  Pha'raoh. 

15  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  I  have  dreamed  a  dream, 
and  there  is  none  that  can  interpret  it :  "and  I  have  heard  say 
of  thee,  that  ||  thou  canst  understand  a  dream  to  interpret  it. 

IG  And  Jo'seph  answered  Pha'raoh,  saying,  °It  is  not  in  me  : 
"God  shall  give  Pha'raoh  an  answer  of  peace. 

1 7  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  ""In  my  dream,  behold, 
I  stood  upon  the  bank  of  the  river  : 

18  And,  behold,  there  came  up  out  of  the  river  seven  kine, 
fatfleshed  and  well  favoured  ;  and  they  fed  in  a  meadow  : 

19  And,  behold,  seven  other  kine  came  up  after  them,  poor 
and  very  ill  favoured  and  leanfleshed,  such  as  I  never  saw 
in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  badness : 

20  And  the  lean  and  the  ill  favoured  kine  did  eat  up  the 
first  seven  fat  kine  : 

21  And  when  they  had  featen  them  up,  it  could  not  be 
known  that  they  had  eaten  them  ;  but  they  were  still  ill 
favoured,  as  at  the  beginning.     So  I  awoke. 

22  And  I  saw  in  my  dream,  and,  behold,  seven  ears  came 
up  in  one  stalk,  full  and  good : 

23  And,  behold,  seven  ears,  ||  withered,  thin,  and  blasted 
with  the  east  wind,  sprung  up  after  them : 

24  And  the  thin  ears  devoured  the  seven  good  ears :  and 
""I  told  this  unto  the  magicians;  but  there  was  none  that 
could  declare  it  to  me. 

25  ^  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  Pha'raoh,The  dream  of  Pha'raoh 
is  one :  'God  hath  shewed  Pha'raoh  what  he  is  about  to  do. 

26  The  seven  good  kine  are  seven  years ;  and  the  seven 
good  ears  are  seven  years  :  the  dream  is  one. 

27  And  the  seven  thin  and  ill  favoured  kine  that  came  up 
after  them  are  seven  years  ;  and  the  seven  empty  ears  blasted 
with  the  east  wind  shall  be  'seven  years  of  famine. 


^*-  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  two  full  years, 
that  Pha'raoh  dreamed :   and,  behold,  he  stood  by 

2  the  'river.  And,  behold,  there  came  up  out  of  the 
river  seven  kine,  well  favoured  and  fetfleshed ;  and 

3  they  fed  in  the  reed-grass.  And,  behold,  seven 
other  kine  came  up  after  them  out  of  the  river,  ill 
favoured  and  leanfleshed ;   and  stood  by  the  other 

4  kine  upon  the  brink  of  the  river.  And  the  ill 
favoured  and  leanfleshed  kine  did  eat  up  the  seven 
well   favoured  and   fat   kine.     So  Pha'raoh  awoke. 

5  And  he  slept  and  dreamed  the  second  time  :  and,  be- 
hold, seven   ears  of  corn  came  up  upon   one   stalk, 

6  ^rank  and  good.  And,  behold,  seven  ears,  thin  and 
blasted  with  the  east  wind,  sprung  up  after  them. 

7  And  the  thin  ears  swallowed  up  the  seven  ^rank  and 
full  ears.     And  Pha'raoh  awoke,  and,  behold,  it  was 

8  a  dream.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning  that 
his  spirit  was  troubled :  and  he  sent  and  called  for 
all  the  'magicians  of  E'gypt,  and  all  the  wise  men 
thereof:  and  Pha'raoh  told  them  his  dream ;  but 
there  was  none  that  could  interpret  them  unto  Pha'- 

9  raoh.     Then  spake  the  chief  butler  unto  Pha'raoh, 

10  saying,  I  ^do  remember  my  fiiults  this  day  :  Pha'raoh 
was  wroth  with  his  servants,  and  put  me  in  ward  in 
the  house  of  the  captain  of  the  guard,  me  and  the 

11  chief  baker:  and  we  dreamed  a  dream  in  one  night, 
I  and  he;  we  dreamed  each  man  according  to  the 

12  interpretation  of  his  dream.  And  there  was  with  us 
there  a  young  man,  an  He'brew,  servant  to  the  cap- 
tain of  the  guard  ;  and  we  told  him,  and  he  inter- 
preted to  us  our  dreams ;  to  each  man  according  to 

13  his  dream  he  did  interpret.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  interpreted  to  us,  so  it  was ;  °me  he  restored  unto 

14  mine  office,  and  him  he  hanged.  Then  Pha'raoh 
sent  and  called  Jo'seph,  and  they  brought  him  hastily 
out  of  the  dungeon  :  and  he  shaved  himself,  and 
changed  his  raiment,  and  came  in  unto  Pha'raoh. 

15  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  I  have  dreamed  a 
dream,  and  there  is  none  that  can  interpret  it:  and 
I  have  heard  say  of  thee,  that  when  thou  hearest  a 

16  dream  thou  canst  interpret  it.  And  Jo'seph  an- 
swered Pha'raoh,  saying,  It  is  not  in  me  :  God  shall 

17giv  Pha'raoh  an  answer  of  peace.  And  Pha'raoh 
spake  unto  Jo'seph,  In  my  dream,  behold,  I  stood 

18 upon  the  brink  of  the  river:  and,  behold,  there 
came  "i    out  of  the  river  seven  kine,  fatfleshed  and 

19  well  favoured;  and  they  fed  in  the  reed-grass  :  and, 
behold,  seven  other  kine  came  up  after  them,  poor 

and  very  ill   favoured  and   leanfleshed,  such  as  I 

20  never  sa,/  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  badness  :  and 
the  lean  and  ill  favoured  kine  did  eat  up  the  first 

21  seven  fat  kine :  and  when  they  had  eaten  them  up, 
it  coul'^  lot  be  known  that  they  had  eaten  them ; 
but  they  were  still  ill  favoured,  as  at  the  beginning. 

22  So  I  awoke.     And  I  saw  in  my  dream,  and,  behold, 

23  seven  ears  came  up  upon  one  stalk,  full  and  good :  and, 
behold,  seven  ears,  withered,  thin,  and  blasted  with 

24  the  .east  wind,  sprung  up  after  them :  and  the  thin 
ears  swallowed  up  the  seven  good  ears  :  and  I  told 
it  unto  the  magicians  ;  but  there  was  none  that  could 

25  declare  it  to  me.  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  Pha'raoh, 
The  dream  of  Pha'raoh  is  one  :  what  God  is  about  to 

26  do  he  hath  declared  unto  Pha'raoh.  The  seven  good 
kine  are  seven  years ;  and  the  seven  good  ears  are  seven 

27  years :  the  dream  is  one.  And  the  seven  lean  and  ill 
favoured  kine  that  came  up  after  them  are  seven 
years,  and  also  the  seven  empty  ears  blasted  with 
the  east  wind ;  they  shall  be  seven  years  of  &mine.

•Ter.  30. 


28  "This  is  the  thing  which  I  have  spoken  unto  Pha'raoh : 
What  God  is  about  to  do  he  sheweth  unto  Pha'raoh. 

29  Behold,  there  come  ^seven  years  of  great  plenty 
throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt : 

30  And  there  shall  "arise  after  them  seven  years  of  famine ; 
and  all  the  plenty  shall  be  forgotten  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 
and  the  famine  "shall  consume  the  land ; 

31  And  the  plenty  shall  not  be  known  in  the  land  by  reason 
of  that  famine  following;  for  it  shall  be  very  fgrievous. 

32  And  for  that  the  dream  was  doubled  unto  Pha'raoh 
twice;  it  is  because  the  "thing  is  \\  established  by  God,  and 
God  will  shortly  bring  it  to  pass. 

33  Now  therefore  let  Pha'raoh  look  out  a  man  discreet  and 
wise,  and  set  him  over  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

34  Let  Pha'raoh  do  this,  and  let  him  appoint  ||  officers  over 
the  land,  and  ''take  up  the  fifth  part  of  the  land  of  E'gypt 
in  the  seven  plenteous  years. 

35  And  "let  them  gather  all  the  food  of  those  good  years 
that  come,  and  lay  up  corn  under  the  hand  of  Pha'raoh,  and 
let  them  keep  food  in  the  cities. 

36  And  that  food  shall  be  for  store  to  the  land  against  the 
seven  years  of  famine,  which  shall  be  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 
that  the  land  fperish  not  through  the  famine. 

37  ^And  'the  thing  was  good  in  the  eyes  of  Pha'raoh,  and 
in  the  eyes  of  all  his  servants. 

38  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  his  servants.  Can  we  find  such  a 
one  as  this  is,  a  man  •'^in  whom  the  spirit  of  God  is? 

39  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  Forasmuch  as  God 
hath  shewed  thee  all  this,  there  is  none  so  discreet  and  wise 
as  thou  art: 

40  "Thou  shalt  be  over  my  house,  and  according  unto  thy 
word  shall  all  my  people  fbe  ruled :  only  in  the  throne  will 
I  be  greater  than  thou. 

41  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  See  I  have  *set  thee 
over  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

42  And  Pha'raoh  'took  ofP  his  ring  from  his  hand,  and  put 
it  upon  Jo'seph's  hand,  and  *arrayed  him  in  vestures  of  ||  fine 
linen,  'and  put  a  gold  chain  about  his  neck ; 

43  And  he  made  him  to  ride  in  the  second  chariot  which 
he  had;  "and  they  cried  before  him,  ||  fBow  the  knee:  and 
he  made  him  ruler  "over  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

44  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  I  am  Pha'raoh,  and 
without  thee  shall  no  man  lift  up  his  hand  or  foot  in  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

45  And  Pha  raoh  called  Jo'seph's  name  1 1  Zaph'nath-pa-a-ne'ah; 
and  he  gave  him  to  wife  As'e-nath  the  daughter  of  Pot'i-phe-rah 
llpriestof  On.  And  Jo'seph  went  out  over  a/Z  the  landof  E'gypt. 

46  ^And  Jo'seph  was  thirty  years  old  when  he  "stood  before 
Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt.  And  Jo'seph  went  out  from  the  pres- 
ence of  Pha'raoh,  and  went  throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

47  And  in  the  seven  plenteous  years  the  earth  brought 
forth  by  handfuls. 

48  And  he  gathered  up  all  the  food  of  the  seven  years, 
which  were  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  laid  up  the  food  in 
the  cities:  the  food  of  the  field,  which  was  round  about 
every  city,  laid  he  up  in  the  same. 

49  And  Jo'seph  gathered  corn  ""as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  very 
much,  until  he  left  numbering;  for  it  was  without  number. 

50  'And  unto  Jo'seph  were  born  two  sons  before  the  years 
of  famine  came:  which  As'e-nath  the  daughter  of  Pot'i- 
phe-rah  II  priest  of  On  bare  unto  him. 

51  And  Jo'seph  called  the  name  of  the  firstborn  ||Ma-nas'- 
seh :  For  God,  said  he,  hath  made  me  forget  all  my  toil,  and 
all  my  father's  hou.se. 

52  And  the  name  of  the  second  called  he  ||E'phra-im:  For  God 
hath  caused  me  to  be  "^fruitful  in  the  land  of  my  affliction. 

53  ^And  the  seven  years  of  plenteousness,  that  was  in 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  were  ended. 

54  'And  the  seven  years   of  dearth  began  to  come,  'ac- 


28  That  is  the  thing  which  I  spake  unto  Pha'raoh :  what 
God  is  about  to  do  he  hatn  shewed  unto  Pha'raoh. 

29  Behold,  there   come    seven   years  of  great   plenty 
30 throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt:  and  there  shall 

arise  after  them  seven  years  of  famine ;  and  all  the 
plenty  shall  be  forgotten  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  and 

31  the  famine  shall  consume  the  land ;  and  the  plenty 
shall  not  be  known  in  the  land  by  reason  of  that 
famine  which  followeth;  for  it  shall  be  very  griev- 

32ous.  And  for  that  the  dream  was  doubled  unto 
Pha'raoh  twice,  it  is  because  the  thing  "is  established 
by   God,   and   God   will   shortly  bring  it  to  pass. 

33  Now  therefore  let  Pha'raoh  look  out  a  man  discreet 

34  and  wise,  and  set  him  over  the  land  of  E'gypt.  Let 
Pha'raoh  do  this,  and  let  him  appoint  overseers  over 
the  land,  and  take  up  the  fifth  part  of  the  land  of 

35  E'gypt  in  the  seven  plenteous  years.  And  let  them 
gather  all  the  food  of  these  good  years  that  come, 
and  lay  up  corn  under  the  hand  of  Pha'raoh  for  food 

36  in  the  cities,  and  let  them  keep  it.  And  the  food 
shall  be  for  a  store  to  the  land  against  the  seven 
years  of  famine,  which  shall  be  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt;  that  the  land  perish  not  through  the  fam 

37  ine.     And  the  thing  was  good  in  the  eyes  of  Pha' 

38  raoh,  and  in  the  eyes  of  all  his  servants.  And  Pha' 
raoh  said  unto  his  servants.  Can  we  find  such  a  one 

39  as  this,  a  man  in  whom  the  spirit  of  God  is  ?  And 
Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  Forasmuch  as  God  hath 
shewed  thee  all  this,  there  is  none  so  discreet  and 

40 wise  as  thou:  thou  shalt  be  over  my  house,  and 
according  unto  thy  word  shall  all  my  people  'be 
ruled :  only   in  the  throne   will   I   be  greater  than 

41  thou.     And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  See,  I  have 

42  set  thee  over  all  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  Pha'raoh 
took  off  his  signet  ring  from  his  hand,  and  put  it 
upon  Jo'seph's  hand,  and  arrayed  him  in  vestures  of 
^fine  linen,  and  put  a   gold    chain  about  his  neck ; 

43  and  he  made  him  to  ride  in  the  second  chariot 
which  he  had;  and  they  cried  before  him,  'Bow 
the    knee:  and  he    set  him    over   all    the    land  of 

44  E'gypt.  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  I  am 
Pha'raoh,  and  without   thee   shall   no   man   lift  up 

45  his  hand  or  his  foot  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And 
Pha'raoh  called  Jo'seph's  name  Zaph'e-nath-pa-ne'ah ; 
and  he  gave  him  to  wife  As'e-nath  the  daughter  of 
Pot'i-phe-ra  priest  of  On.     And  Jo'seph  went  out 

46  over  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  Jo'seph  was  thirty 
years  old  when  he  stood  before  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt.  And  Jo'seph  went  out  from  the  presence  of 
Pha'raoh,  and  went  throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

47  And  in  the  seven  plenteous  years  the  earth  brought 

48  forth  by  handfuls.  And  he  gathered  up  all  the  food 
of  the  seven  years  which  were  in  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
and  laid  up  the  food  in  the  cities:  the  food  of  the 
field,  which  was  round  about  every  city,  laid  he  up 

49  in  the  same.  And  Jo'seph  laid  up  corn  as  the  sand 
of  the  sea,  very  much,  until  he  left  numbering ;  for 

50  it  was  without  number.  And  unto  Jo'seph  were 
born  two  sons  before  the  year  of  famine  came, 
which  As'e-nath  the  daughter  of  Pot'i-phe-ra  priest 

51  of  On  bare  unto  him.  And  Jo'seph  called  the 
name  of  the  firstborn  *Ma-nas'seh:  For,  said  he, 
God  hath  made  me  forget  all  my  toil,  and  all  my 

52  father's  house.  And  the  name  of  the  second  called 
he  °E'phra-im :  For  God  hath  made  me  fruitful  in  the 

53  land  of  my  afiliction.  And  the  seven  years  of  plenty, 
that  was    in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  came  to  an   end. 

54  And  the  seven  years  of  famine   began  to  come,  ac- 1

cording  as  Jo'seph  had  said :   and  the  dearth  was  in  all 
lands;  but  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  there  was  bread. 

55  And  when  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  was  famished,  the 
people  cried  to  Pha'raoh  for  bread :  and  Pha'raoh  said  unto 
all  the  E-gyp'tians,  Go  unto  Jo'seph  ;  what  he  saith  to  you,  do. 

56  And  the  famine  was  over  all  the  face  of  the  earth  :  and 
Jo'seph  opened  fall  the  storehouses,  and  "sold  unto  the 
E-gyp'tians ;  and  the  famine  waxed  sore  in  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

57  ^And  all  countries  came  into  E'gypt  to  Jo'seph  for  to 
buy  corn;  because  that  the  famine  was  so  sore  in  all  lands. 

CHAPTER  XLII. 

Jacob  sendeth  his  ten  sons  to  buy  corn — They  are  imprisoned  by  Joseph. 

"IVrOW  when  "Ja'cob  saw  that  there  was  corn  in  E'gypt, 
i- 1  Ja'cob  said  unto  his  sons,Why  do  ye  look  one  upon  another? 

2  And  he  said,  Behold,  I  have  heard  that  there  is  corn  in 
E'gypt :  get  you  down  thither,  and  buy  for  us  from  thence ; 
that  we  may  'live,  and  not  die. 

3  ^ And  Jo'seph's  ten  brethren  went  down  to  buy  corn  in 
E'gypt. 

4  But  Ben'ja-miu,  Jo'seph's  brother,  Ja'cob  sent  not  with  his 
brethren  :  for  he  said,  ''Lest  peradventure  mischief  befall  him. 

5  And  the  sons  of  Is'ra-el  came  to  buy  corn  among  those 
that  came ;  for  the  famine  was  ''in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

6  And  Jo'seph  was  the  governor  'over  the  land,  and  he  it 
waa  that  sold  to  all  the  people  of  the  land  :  and  Jo'seph's 
brethren  came,  and  -^bowed  down  themselves  before  nim 
with  their  faces  to  the  earth. 

7  And  Jo'seph  saw  his  brethren,  and  he  knew  them,  but 
made  himself  strange  unto  them,  and  spake  froughly  unto 
them ;  and  he  said  unto  them,  Whence  come  ye  ?  And 
they  said,  From  the  land  of  Ca'naan  to  buy  food. 

8  And  Jo'se^  h  knew  his  brethren,  but  they  knew  not  him. 

9  And  Jo'seph  'remembered  the  dreams  which  he  dreamed 
of  them,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  spies ;  to  see  the  naked- 
ness of  the  land  ye  are  come. 

10  And  they  said  unto  him.  Nay,  my  lord,  but  to  buy  food 
are  thy  servants  come. 

11  We  are  all  one  man's  sons;  we  are  true  men;  thy 
servants  are  no  spies. 

12  And  he  said  unto  them.  Nay,  but  to  see  the  nakedness 
of  the  land  ye  are  come. 

13  And  they  said.  Thy  servants  are  twelve  brethren,  the 
sons  of  one  man  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan  ;  and,  behold,  the 
youngest  is  this  day  with  our  father,  and  one  ''is  not. 

14  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  them.  That  is  it  that  I  spake 
unto  you,  saying,  Ye  are  spies : 

1 5  Hereby  ye  shall  be  proved:  'By  the  life  of  Pha'raoh  ye  shall 
not  go  forth  hence,  except  your  youngest  brother  come  hither. 

16  Send  one  of  you,  and  let  him  fetch  your  brother,  and 
ye  shall  be  fkept  in  prison,  that  your  words  may  be  proved, 
whether  there  be  any  truth  in  you :  or  else  by  the  life  of 
Pha'raoh,  surely  ye  are  spies. 

17  And  he  tput  them  all  together  into  ward  three  days. 

18  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  them  the  third  day.  This  do,  and 
live  ;  ''for  I  tear  God  : 

19  If  ye  be  true  men,  let  one  of  your  brethren  be  bound  in 
the  house  of  your  prison :  go  ye,  carry  corn  for  the  famine 
of  your  houses : 

20  But  'bring  your  youngest  brother  unto  -t ;  so  shall  vour 
words  be  verified,  and  ye  shall  not  die.     And  they  did  so. 

21  "[[And  they  said  one  to  another,  "We  are  verily  guilty 
concerning  our  brother,  in  that  we  saw  the  anguish  of  his 
soul,  when  he  besought  us,  and  we  would  not  hear ;  "there- 
fore is  this  distress  come  upon  us. 

22  And  Reu'ben  answered  them,  saying,  "Spake  I  not  unto 
you,  saying,  Do  not  sin  against  the  child ;  and  ye  would  not 
hear  ?  therefore,  behold,  also  his  blood  is  "required. 

23  And  tkey  knew  not  that  Jo'seph  understood  them;  for 
the  spake  unto  them  by  an  interpreter. 


cording  as  Jo'seph  had  said :  and  there  was  famine 
in  all  lands ;  but  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  there  was 

55  bread.  And  when  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  was  fam- 
ished, the  people  cried  to  Pha'raoh  for  bread :  and 
Pha'raoh  said  unto  all  the  E-gyp'tians,  Go  unto  Jo'- 

56seph;  what  he  saith  to  you,  do.  And  the  famine 
was  over  all  the  face  oi  the  earth :  and  Jo'seph 
opened  all  the  storehouses,  and  sold  unto  the 
E-gyp'tians ;   and  the  famine  was  sore  in  the  land 

57  of  E'gj'pt.  And  all  countries  came  into  E'gypt  to 
Jo'seph  for  to  buy  corn ;  because  the  famine  was 
sore  in  all  the  earth. 

^^     Now  Ja'cob  saw  that  there  was  corn  in  E'gypt, 

and  Ja'cob  said  unto  his  sons.  Why  do  ye  look  one 

2 upon  another?     And  he  said.  Behold,  I  have  heard 

that  there  is  com  in  E'gypt :    get  you  down  thither, 

and  buy  for  us  from  thence ;  that  we  may  live,  and 

3  not  die.     And  Jo'seph's  ten  brethren  went  down  to 

4  buy  corn  from  E'gypt.  But  Ben'ja-min,  Jo'seph's 
brother,  Ja'cob  sent  not  with  his  brethren ;   for  he 

5  said.  Lest  peradventure  mischief  befall  him.  And  the 
sons  of  Is'rael  came  to  buy  among  those  that  came :  for 

6  the  famine  was  in  the  laud  of  Ca'naan.  And  Jo'seph 
was  the  governor  over  the  land :  he  it  was  that  sold 
to  all  the  people  of  the  land :  and  Jo'seph's  brethren 
came,  and  bowed  down  themselves  to  him  with  their 

7  faces  to  the  earth.  And  Jo'seph  saw  his  brethren, 
and  he  knew  them,  but  made  nimself  strange  unto 
them,  and  spake  roughly  with  them ;  and  he  said 
unto  them, Whence  come  ye  ?     And  they  said.  From 

8  the  land  of  Ca'naan  to  buy  food.  And  Jo'seph  knew  his 

9  brethren,  but  they  knew  not  him.     And  Jo'seph  re 
membered  the  dreams  which  he  dreamed   of  them, 
and  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  spies;  to  see  the  naked 

lOness  of  the  land  ye  are  come.  And  they  said  unto 
him,  Nay,  my  lord,  but  to  buy  food  are  thy  servants 

11  come.     We  are  all  one  man's   sons;    we  are  true 

12  men,  thy  servants  are  no  spies.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  Nay,  but  to  see  the  nakedness  of  the  land  ye 

13  are  come.  And  they  said.  We  thy  servants  are 
twelve  brethren,  the  sons  of  one  man  in  the  land  of 
Ca'naan  ;  and,  behold,  the  youngest  is  this  day  with 

14  our  father,  and  one  is  not.  And  Jo'seph  said  unto 
them.  That  is  it  that  I  spake  unto  you,  saying.  Ye 

15  are  spies :  hereby  ye  shall  be  proved  :  by  the  life  of 
Pha'raoh  ye  shall  not  go  forth  hence,  except  your 

16  youngest  brother  come  hither.     Send  one  of  you 
and   let  him  fetch   your   brother,  and  ye   shall  be 
bound,  that  your  words   may  be   proved,  whether 
there  be  truth  in  you :  or  else  by  the  life  of  Pha'raoh 

17  surely  ye  are  spies.     And  he  put  them   altogether 

18  into  ward  three  days.  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  them 
the  third  day,  This  do,  and  live ;    for   I  fear  God : 

19  if  ye  be  true  men,  let  one  of  your  brethren  be  bound 
in  your  prison  house ;  but  go  ye,  carry  corn  for  the 

20 famine  of  your  houses:  and  bring  your  youngest 
brother  unto  me ;  so  shall   your  words  be  verified, 

21  and  ye  shall  not  die.  And  they  did  so.  And  they 
said  one  to  another.  We  are  verily  guilty  concerning 
our  brother,  in  that  we  saw  the  distress  of  his  soul, 
when   he   besought   us,   and   we   would    not    hear ; 

22  therefore  is  this  distress  come  upon  us.  And  Reu'- 
ben answered  them,  saying.  Spake  I  not  unto  you, 
saying.  Do  not  sin  against  the  child ;  and  ye  would 
not  hear?    therefore  also,  behold,  his  blood  is  re- 

23  quired.  And  they  knew  not  that  Jo'seph  understood 
them;   for  there  was  an  interpreter  between  them.

24  And  he  turned  himself  about  from  them,  and  wept; 
and  returned  to  them  again,  and  communed  with  them,  and 
took  from  them  Sim'e-on,  and  bound  him  before  their  eyes. 

25  ^Then  Jo'seph  commanded  to  fill  their  sacks  with  corn, 
and  to  restore  every  man's  money  into  his  sack,  and  to  give 
them  provision  for  the  way :  and  'thus  did  he  unto  them. 

26  And  they  laded  their  asses  with  the  corn,  and  departed 
thence. 

27  And  as  ''one  of  them  opened  his  sack  to  give  his  ass 
provender  in  the  inn,  he  espied  his  money ;  for,  behold,  it 
was  in  his  sack's  mouth. 

28  And  he  said  unto  his  brethren.  My  money  is  restored ; 
and,  lo,  it  is  even  in  my  sack :  and  their  heart  ffailed  them, 
and  they  were  afraid,  saying  one  to  another,  What  is  this 
that  God  hath  done  unto  us? 

29  ^And  they  came  unto  Ja'cob  their  father  unto  the  land 
of  Ca'naan,  and  told  him  all  that  befell  unto  them ;   saying, 

30  The  man,  who  is  the  lord  of  the  land,  'spake  f  roughly 
to  us,  and  took  us  for  spies  of  the  country. 

31  And  we  said  unto  him.  We  are  true  men;  we  are  no  spies : 

32  We  be  twelve  brethren,  sons  of  our  father :  one  is  not,  and 
the  youngest  is  this  day  with  our  father  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

33  And  the  man,  the  lord  of  the  country,  said  unto  us, 
'Hereby  shall  I  know  that  ye  are  true  men;  leave  one  of 
your  brethren  here  with  me,  and  take  food  for  the  famine  of 
your  households,  and  begone : 

34  And  bring  your  youngest  brother  unto  me :  then  shall 
I  know  that  ye  are  no  spies,  but  that  ye  are  true  men :  so  will 
I  deliver  you  your  brother,  and  ye  shall  "traffick  in  the  land. 

35  ^And  it  came  to  pass  as  they  emptied  their  sacks,  that, 
behold,  ^every  man's  bundle  of  money  was  in  his  sack  :  and 
when  both  they  and  their  father  saw  the  bundles  of  money, 
they  were  afraid. 

36  And  Ja'cob  their  father  said  unto  them.  Me  have  ye 
"bereaved  of  my  children :  Jo'seph  is  not,  and  Sim'e-on  is 
not,  and  ye  will  take  Ben'ja-min  away :  all  these  things  are 
against  me. 

37  And  Reu'ben  spake  unto  his  father,  saying,  Slay  my 
two  sons,  if  I  bring  him  not  to  thee :  deliver  him  into  my 
hand,  and  I  will  bring  him  to  thee  again. 

38  And  he  said.  My  son  shall  not  go  down  with  you ;  for 
"'his  brother  is  dead,  and  he  is  left  alone :  "if  mischief  befall 
him  by  the  way  in  the  which  ye  go,  then  shall  ye  'bring 
down  my  gray  hairs  Avith  sorrow  to  the  grave. 

CHAPTER    XIvIII. 

Jacob  sendelh  Benjamin— Joseph  enteriainelh  his  brethren. 

AND  the  famine  was  "sore  in  the  land. 
2  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  had  eaten  up  the 
corn  which  they  had  brought  out  of  E'gypt,  their  father  said 
unto  them.  Go  again,  buy  us  a  little  food. 

3  And  Ju'dah  spake  unto  him,  saying.  The  man  fdid 
solemnly  protest  unto  us,  saying.  Ye  shall  not  see  my  face, 
except  your  ''brother  be  with  you. 

4  If  thou  wilt  send  our  brother  with  us,  we  will  go  down 
and  buy  thee  food  : 

5  But  if  thou  wilt  not  send  him,  we  will  not  go  down  :  for 
the  man  said  unto  us.  Ye  shall  not  see  my  face,  except  your 
brother  be  with  you. 

6  And  Is'ra-el  said,  Wherefore  dealt  ye  so  ill  with  me,  as  to 
tell  the  man  whether  ye  had  yet  a  brother? 

7  And  they  said.  The  man  fasked  us  straitly  of  our  state, 
and  of  our  kindred,  saying.  Is  your  father  yet  alive  ?  have 
ye  another  brother?  and  we  told  him  according  to  the  ftenor 
of  these  words :  f  Could  we  certainly  know  that  he  would 
say,  Bring  your  brother  down  ? 

8  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  Is'ra-el  his  father.  Send  the  lad 
with  me,  and  we  will  arise  and  go ;  that  we  may  live,  and 
not  die,  both  we,  and  thou,  and  also  our  little  ones. 

9  I  will  be  surety  for  him ;  of  my  hand  shalt  thou  require 


24  And  he  turned  himself  about  from  them,  and  wept ; 
and  he  returned  to  them,  and  spake  to  them,  and 
took  Sim'e-on  from  among  them,^and  bound  him  be- 

25  fore  their  eyes.  Then  Jo'seph  commanded  to  fill  their 
vessels  with  corn,  and  to  restore  every  man's  money 
into  his  sack,  and  to  give  them  provision  for  the  way : 

26  and  thus  was  it  done  unto  them.  And  they  laded 
their  asses  with  their  corn,  and   departed  thence. 

27  And  as  one  of  them  opened  his  sack  to  give  his  ass 
provender  in  the  lodging  place,  he  espied  his  money ; 

28  and,  behold,  it  was  in  the  mouth  of  his  sack.  And 
he  said  unto  his  brethren.  My  money  is  restored; 
and,  lo,  it  is  even  in  my  sack :  and  their  heart  failed 
them,  and  they  turned  trembling  one  to  another, 
saying.  What  is  this  that  God  hath  done  unto  us  ? 

29  And  they  came  unto  Ja'cob  tlieir  father  unto  the  land 
of  Ca'naan,  and  told  him  all  that  had  befallen  them ; 

30  saying.  The  man,  the  lord  of  the  land,  spake  roughly 

31  with  us,  and  took  us  for  spies  of  the  country.  And 
we  said  unto  him.  We  are  true  men ;    we  are   no 

32  spies :  we  be  twelve  brethren,  sons  of  our  father ; 
one  is  not,  and  the  youngest  is  this  day  with  our 

33  father  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan.  And  the  man,  the 
lord  of  the  land,  said  unto  us,  Hereby  shall  I  know 
that  ye  are  true  men ;  leave  one  of  your  brethren 
with  me,  and  take  corn  for  the  famine  of  your  houses, 

34  and  go  your  way  :  and  bring  your  youngest  brother 
unto  me:  then  shall  I  know  that  ye  are  no  spies, 
but   that   ye   are   true  men:    so  will  I  deliver  you 

35  your  brother,  and  ye  shall  traffick  in  the  land.  And 
it  came  to  pass  as  they  emptied  their  sacks,  that, 
behold,  every  man's  bundle  of  money  was  in  his 
sack :   and   when   they  and   their   father   saw  their 

36  bundles  of  money,  they  were  afraid.  And  Ja'cob 
their  father  said  unto  them,  Me  have  ye  bereaved 
of  my  children :  Jo'seph  is  not,  and  Sim'e-on  is  not, 
and  ye  will  take  Ben'ja-min  away:  all  these  things 

37  are  'against  me.  And  Reu'ben  spake  unto  his  father, 
saying,  Slay  my  two  sons  if  I  bring  him  not  to  thee  : 
deliver  him  into  my  hand,  and  I  will  bring  him  to 

38  thee  again.  And  he  said.  My  son  shall  not  go  down 
with  you;  for  his  brother  is  dead,  and  he  only  is 
left :  if  mischief  befall  him  by  the  way  in  the  which 
ye  go,  then  shall  ye  bring  down  my  gray  hairs  with 
sorrow  to  ^the  grave. 


iAnd  the  famine  was  sore  in  the  land.     And  it 


48 

came   to    pass,  when  they  had   eaten    up  the  corn 
which  they  had  brought  out  of  E'gypt,  their  father 

3  said  unto  them,  Go  again,  buy  us  a  little  food.  And 
Ju'dah  spake  unto  him,  saying,  The  man  did  sol- 
emnly protest  unto  us,  saying,  Ye  shall  not  see  my 

4  face,  except  your  brother  be  with  you.  If  thou 
wilt  send  our  brother  with  us,  we  will  go  down  and 

5  buy  thee  food :  but  if  thou  wilt  not  send  him,  we 
will  not  go  down :  for  the  man  said  unto  us.  Ye 
shall  not  see  my  face,  except  your  brother  be  with 

6  you.  And  Is'ra-el  said,  Wherefore  dealt  ye  so  ill  with 
me,  as  to  tell  the  man  whether  ye  had  yet  a  brother  ? 

7  And  they  said,  The  man  asked  straitly  concerning 
ourselves,  and  concerning  our  kindred,  saying.  Is 
your  father  yet  alive  ?  have  ye  another  brother  ?  and 
we  told  him  according  to  the  tenor  of  these  words: 
could   we    in    any  wise    know  that   he    would   say, 

8 Bring  your  brother  down?  And  Ju'dah  said  unto 
Is'ra-el  his  father.  Send  the  lad  with  me,  and  we 
will  arise  and  go;   that  we  may  live,  and  not  die, 

9  both  we,  and  thou,  and  also  our  little  ones.  I  will 
be  surety  for  him;  of  my  hand  shalt  thou  require

him :  "if  I  bring  him  not  unto  thee,  and  set  him  before  thee, 
then  let  me  bear  the  blame  for  ever: 

10  For  except  we  had  lingered,  surely  now  we  had  re- 
turned II  this  second  time. 

11  And  their  father  Is'ra-el  said  unto  them,  If  it  must  be  so 
now,  do  this;  take  of  the  best  fruits  in  the  land  in  your 
vessels,  and  ''carry  down  the  man  a  present,  a  little  ^balm, 
and  a  little  honey,  spices  and  myrrh,  nuts  and  almonds : 

12  And  take  double  money  in  your  hand;  and  the  money 
•'^that  was  brought  again  in  the  mouth  of  your  sacks,  carry 
it  again  in  your  hand ;  peradventure  it  was  an  oversight: 

13  Take  also  your  brother,  and  arise,  go  again  unto  the 
man : 

14  And  God  Almighty  give  you  mercy  before  the  man, 
that  he  may  send  away  your  other  brother,  and  Ben'ja-min. 
"11  If  I  be  bereaved  of  my  children,  I  am  bereaved. 

15  ^And  the  men  took  that  present,  and  they  took  double 
money  in  their  hand,  and  Ben'ja-min ;  and  rose  up,  and  went 
down  to  E'gypt,  and  stood  before  Jo'seph. 

16  And  when  Jo'seph  saw  Ben'ja-min  with  them,  he  said  to 
the  ''ruler  of  his  house.  Bring  these  men  home,  and  fslay, 
and  make  ready ;  for  these  men  shall  fdine  with  me  at  noon. 

17  And  the  man  did  as  Jo'seph  bade ;  and  the  man  brought 
the  men  into  Jo'seph's  house. 

18  And  the  men  were  afraid,  because  they  were  brought 
into  Jo'seph's  house ;  and  they  said.  Because  of  the  money 
that  was  returned  in  our  sacks  at  the  first  time,  are  we 
brought  in ;  that  he  may  fseek  occasion  against  us,  and  fall 
upon  us,  and  take  us  for  bondmen,  and  our  asses. 

19  And  they  came  near  to  the  steward  of  Jo'seph's  house, 
and  they  communed  with  him  at  the  door  of  the  house, 

20  And  said,  O,  sir,  'fwe  came  indeed  down  at  the  first 
time  to  buy  food : 

21  And  *it  came  to  pass,  when  we  came  to  the  inn,  that 
we  opened  our  sacks,  and,  behold,  every  man's  money  was 
in  the  mouth  of  his  sack,  our  money  in  full  weight :  and 
we  have  brought  it  again  in  our  hand. 

22  And  other  money  have  we  brought  down  in  our  hands 
to  buy  food :  we  cannot  tell  who  put  our  money  in  our  sacks. 

23  And  he  said.  Peace  be  to  you,  fear  not :  your  God,  and 
the  God  of  your  father,  hath  given  you  treasure  in  your  sacks : 
fl  had  your  money.  And  he  brought  Sim'e-on  out  unto  them. 

24  And  the  man  brought  the  men  into  Jo'seph's  house,  and 
'gave  them  water,  and  they  washed  their  feet;  and  he  gave 
their  asses  provender. 

25  And  they  made  ready  the  present  against  Jo'seph  came 
at  noon :  for  they  heard  that  they  should  eat  bread  there. 

26  ^And  when  Jo'seph  came  home,  they  brought  him  the 
present  which  was  in  their  hand  into  the  house,  and  "bowed 
themselves  to  him  to  the  earth. 

27  And  he  asked  them  of  their  fwelfare,  and  said,  fls  your 
father  well,  the  old  man  "of  whom  ye  spake  ?  Is  he  yet  alive  ? 

28  And  they  answered.  Thy  servant  our  father  is  in  good 
health,  he  is  yet  alive.  "And  they  bowed  down  their  heads, 
and  made  obeisance. 

29  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  his  brother  Ben'ja-min, 
"his  mother's  son,  and  said.  Is  this  your  younger  brother, 
'of  whom  ye  spake  unto  me  ?  And  he  said,  God  be  gracious 
unto  thee,  my  son. 

30  And  Jo'seph  made  haste;  for;  'his  bowels  did  yearn 
upon  his  brother :  and  he  sought  where  to  weep ;  and  he 
entered  into  his  chamber,  and  'wept  there. 

31  And  he  washed  his  face,  and  went  out,  and  refrained 
himself,  and  said.  Set  on  'bread. 

32  And  they  set  on  for  hiin  by  himself,  and  for  them  by 
themselves,  and  for  the  E-gyp'tians.  which  did  eat  with 
him,  by  themselves :  because  the  E-gyp'tians  might  not  eat 
bread  with  the  He'brews;  for  that  is  "an  abomination  unto 
the  E-gyp'tians.

10 thee,  then  'let  me  bear  the  blame  for  ever :  for  ex- 
cept we  had  lingered,  surely  we  had  now  returned  a 

11  second  time.  And  their  father  Is'ra-el  said  unto 
them,  If  it  be  so  now,  do  this;  take  of  the  choice 
fruits  of  the  land  in  your  vessels,  and  carry  down 
the  man  a  present,  a  little  ^balm,  and  a  little  honey, 

12spicery  and  myrrh,  ^nuts,  and  almonds:  and  take 
double  money  in  your  hand ;  and  the  money  that 
was  returned  in  the  mouth  of  your  sacks  carry 
again  in  your  hand ;  peradventure  it  was  an  over- 

13 sight:  take  also  your  brother,  and  arise,  go  again 

14  unto  the  man :  and  ^God  Almighty  give  you  mercy 
before  the  man,  that  he  may  release  unto  you  your 
other  brother  and  Ben'ja-min.  And  if  I  be  bereaved 
of  my  children,  I  am  bereaved. 

15  And  the  men  took  that  present,  and  they  took 
double  money  in  their  hand,  and  Ben'ja-min ;  and 
rose  up,  and  went  down  to  E'gypt,  and  stood  before 

16  Jo'seph.  And  when  Jo'seph  saw  Ben'ja-min  with  them, 
he  said  to  the  steward  of  his  house.  Bring  the  men 
into  the  house,  and  slay,  and  make  ready ;  for  the 

17  men  shall  dine  with  me  at  noon.  And  the  man  did 
as  Jo'seph  bade ;  and  the  man  brought  the  men  into 

18  Jo'seph's  house.  And  the  men  were  afraid,  because 
they  were  brought  into  Jo'seph's  house;  and  they 
said.  Because  of  the  money  that  was  returned  in 
our  sacks  at  the  first  time  are  we  brought  in ;  that 
he  may  ^seek  occasion  against  us,  and  fall  upon  us, 

19  and  take  us  for  bondmen,  and  our  asses.  And  they 
came  near  to  the  steward  of  Jo'seph's  house,  and 

20  they  spake  unto  him  at  the  door  of  the  house,  and 
said,  Oh  my  lord,  we  came   indeed  down  at  the  first 

21  time  to  buy  food :  and  it  came  to  pass,  when  we 
came  to  the  lodging  place,  that  we  opened  our 
sacks,  and,  behold,  every  man's  money  was  in  the 
mouth  of  his  sack,  our  money  in  full  weight:  and 

22  we  have  brought  it  again  in  our  hand.  And  other 
money  have  we  brought  down  in  our  hand  to  buy 
food :    we  know   not   who   put  our  money  in  our 

23  sacks.  And  he  said.  Peace  be  to  you,  fear  not :  your 
God,  and  the  God  of  your  father,  hath  given  you 
treasure  in   your  sacks:    I  had  your  money.     And 

24  he  brought  Sim'e-on  out  unto  them;  And  the  man 
brought  the  men  into  Jo'seph's  house,  and  gave  them 
water,  and  they  washed    their  feet;    and    he  gave 

25  their  asses  provender.  And  they  made  ready  the 
prfsent  against  Jo'seph  came  at  noon :  for  they  heard 

26  that  they  should  eat  bread  there.  And  when  Jo'seph 
came  home,  they  brought  him  the  present  which  was 
in  their  hand  into  the  house,  and  bowed  down  them- 

27 selves  to  him  to  the  earth.  And  he  asked  them  of 
their  welfare,  and  said.  Is  your  father  well,  the  old 

28 man  of  whom  ye  spake?  Is  he  yet  alive?  And 
they  said.  Thy  servant  our  father  is  well,  he  is  yet 
alive.     And  they  bowed  the  head,  and  made  obei- 

29  sance.  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  Ben'ja-min 
his  brother,  his  mother's  son,  and  said.  Is  this  your 
youngest  brother,  of  whom  ye  spake  unto  me?     And 

30  he  said,  God  be  gracious  unto  thee,  my  son.  And  Jo'- 
seph made  haste ;  for  his  bowels  did  yearn  upon  his 
brother:  and  he  sought  where  to  weep;  and  he  en- 

31tered  into  his  chamber,  and  wept  there.  And  he 
washed  his  face,  and  came  out ;  and  he  refrained  him- 

32  self,  and  said.  Set  on  bread.  And  they  set  on  for  him 
by  himself,  and  for  them  by  themselves,  and  for  the 
E-gyp'tians,  which  did  eat  with  him,  by  themselves:  be- 
cause the  E-gyp'tians  might  not  eat  bread  with  the  He'- 
brews ;  for  that  is  an  abomination  unto  the  E-gyp'tians.

birthright,  and  the  youngest  according  to  his  youth :  and 
the  men  marvelled  one  at  another. 

34  And  he  took  and  sent  messes  unto  them  from  be-

CHAPTER  XLIV. 

Joseph's  policy  to  stay  fits  brethren— Judah'  s  humble  supplication  to  Joseph. 

AND  he  commandedfthe  steward  of  his  house,  saying,  Fill 
the  men's  sacks  with  food,  as  much  as  they  can  carry, 
and  put  every  man's  money  in  his  sack's  mouth. 

2  And  put  my  cup,  the  silver  cup,  in  the  sack's  mouth  of 
the  youngest,  and  his  corn  money.  And  he  did  according 
to  the  word  that  Jo'seph  had  spoken. 

3  As  soon  as  the  morning  was  light,  the  men  were  sent 
away,  they  and  their  asses. 

4  And  when  they  were  gone  out  of  the  city,  and  not  yd 
far  off,  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  steward.  Up,  follow  after  the 
men;  and  when  thou  dost  overtake  them,  say  unto  them, 
Wherefore  have  ye  rewarded  evil  for  good? 

5  Is  not  this  it  in  which  my  lord  drinketh,  and  whereby 
indeed  he  ||  divineth?  ye  have  done  evil  in  so  doing. 

6  ^And  he  overtook  them,  and  he  spake  unto  them  these 
same  words. 

7  And  they  said  unto  him,  Wherefore  saith  my  lord  these 
words  ?  God  forbid  that  thy  servants  should  do  according 
to  this  thing : 

8  Behold,  "the.  money,  which  we  found  in  our  sacks'  mouths, 
we  brought  again  unto  thee  out  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan :  how 
then  should  we  steal  out  of  thy  lord's  house  silver  or  gold  ? 

9  With  whomsoever  of  thy  servants  it  be  found,  'both  let 
him  die,  and  we  also  will  be  my  lord's  bondmen. 

10  And  he  said.  Now  also  Id  it  he  according  unto  your 
words :  he  with  whom  it  is  found  shall  be  my  servant ;  and 
ye  shall  be  blameless. 

11  Then  they  speedily  took  down  every  man  his  sack  to 
the  ground,  and  opened  every  man  his  sack. 

12  And  he  searched,  and  began  at  the  eldest,  and  left  at 
the  youngest :  and  the  cup  was  found  in  Ben'ja-min's  sack. 

13  Then  they  "rent  their  clothes,  and  laded  every  man  his 
ass,  and  returned  to  the  city. 

14  ^And  Ju'dah  and  his  brethren  came  to  Jo'seph's  house ; 
for  he  was  yet  there  :  and  they ''fell  before  him  on  the  ground. 

1 5  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  them, What  deed  is  this  that  ye  have 
done  ?  wot  ye  not  that  such  a  man  as  I  can  certainly  ||  divine  ? 

16  And  Ju'dah  said.  What  shall  we  say  unto  my  lord  ? 
what  shall  we  speak  ?  or  how  shall  we  clear  ourselves  ?  God 
hath  found  out  the  iniquity  of  thy  servants :  behold  'we  are 
my  lord's  servants,  both  we,  and  he  also  with  whom  the 
cup  is  found. 

17  And  he  said,  ■'^God  forbid  that  I  should  do  so  :  hut  the 
man  in  whose  hand  the  cup  is  found,  he  shall  be  my  servant ; 
and  as  for  you,  get  up  in  peace  unto  your  father. 

18  ^Then  Ju'dah  came  near  unto  him,  and  said,  O  my  lord, 
let  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee,  speak  a  word  in  my  lord's  ears, 
and  "let  not  thine  anger  burn  against  thy  servant :  for  thou 
art  even  as  Pha'raoh. 

19  My  lord  asked  his  servants,  saying,  Have  ye  a  father, 
or  a  brother? 

20  And  we  said  unto  my  lord.  We  have  a  father,  an  old 
man.  and  ''a  child  of  his  old  age,  a  little  one :  and  his  brother 
la  dead,  and  he  alone  is  left  of  his  mother,  and  his  father 
loveth  him. 

21  And  thou  saidst  unto  thy  servants,  'Bring  him  down 
unto  me,  that  I  may  set  mine  eyes  upon  him. 

22  And  we  said  unto  my  lord.  The  lad  can  not  leave  his 
father :  for  if  he  should  leave  his  father,  Im  father  would  die. 

23  And    thou    saidst    unto    thy    servants,  ^Except  your 


33  And  they  sat  before  him,  the  firstborn  according  to 
his  birthright,  and  the  youngest  according  to  his 
youth :   and  the  men   marvelled  one  with  another. 

34  And  'he  took  and  sent  messes  unto  them  from  be- 
fore him:  but  Ben'ja-min's  mess  was  five  times  so 
much  as  any  of  theirs.  And  they  drank,  and  Vere 
merry  with  him. 

^*^  And  he  commanded  the  steward  of  his  house, 
saying,  Fill  the  men's  sacks  with  food,  as  much  as 
they  can  carry,  and  put  every  man's  money  in  his 

2  sack's  mouth.  And  put  my  cup,  the  silver  cup,  in 
the  sack's  mouth  of  the  youngest,  and  his  corn 
money.     And  he  did   according  to  the   word  that 

3  Jo'seph  had  spoken.  As  soon  as  the  morning  was 
light,  the  men  were  sent  away,  they  and  their  asses. 

4  And  when  they  were  gone  out  of  the  city,  and  were 
not  yet  far  off,  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  steward.  Up, 
follow  after  the  men ;  and  when  thou  dost  overtake 
them,  say  unto  them.  Wherefore  have  ye  rewarded 

5 evil  for  good?  Is  not  this  it  in  which  my  lord 
drinketh,  and  whereby  he  indeed  divineth?  ye  have 

6  done  evil  in  so  doing.     And  he  overtook  them,  and 

7  he  spake  unto  them  these  words.  And  they  said 
unto  him.  Wherefore  speaketh  my  lord  such  words 
as  these?    God  forbid  that  thy  servants  should  do 

8  such  a  thing.  Behold,  the  money,  which  we  found 
in  our  sacks'  mouths,  we  brought  again  unto  thee 
out  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan :  how  then  should  we 

9  steal  out  of  thy  lord's  house  silver  or  gold  ?  With 
whomsoever  of  thy  sei-vants  it  be  found,  let  him  die, 

10 and  we  also  will  be  my  lord's  bondmen.  And  he 
said,  Now  also  let  it  be  according  unto  your  words : 
he  with  whom  it  is  found  shall  be  my  bondman; 

Hand  ye  shall  be  blameless.  Then  they  hasted,  and 
took  down  every  man  his  sack  to  the  ground,  and 

12  opened  every  man  his  sack.  And  he  searched,  and 
began  at  the  eldest,  and  left  at  the  youngest:  and 

13  the  cup  was  found  in  Ben'ja-min's  sack.  Then  they 
rent  their  clothes,  and  laded  every  man  his  ass,  and 

14  returned  to  the  city.  And  Ju'dah  and  his  brethren 
came  to  Jo'seph's  house ;  and  he  was  yet  there  :  and 

15  they  fell  before  him  on  the  ground.  And  Jo'seph 
said  unto  them.  What  deed  is  this  that  ye  have  done  ? 
know  ye  not  that  such  a  man  as  I  can  indeed  divine  ? 

16  And  Ju'dah  said.  What  shall  we  say  unto  my  lord  ? 
what  shall  we  speak?  or  how  shall  we  clear  our- 
selves? God  hath  found  out  the  iniquity  of  thy 
servants:  behold,  we  are  my  lord's  bondmen,  both 
we,  and  he  also  in   whose    hand   the  cup  is  found. 

17 And  he  said,  God  forbid  that  I  should  do  so:  the 
man  in  whose  hand  the  cup  is  found,  he  shall  be  my 
bondman ;  but  as  for  you,  get  you  up  in  peace  unto 
your  father. 

18  Then  Ju'dah  <Jame  near  unto  him,  and  said.  Oh 
my  lord,  let  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee,  speak  a  word 
in  my  lord's  ears,  and  let  not  thine  anger  burn 
against  thy  servant:  for  thou  art  even  as  Pha'raoh. 

19  My  lord  asked  his  servants,  saying,  Have  ye  a  father, 
20 or  a  brother?     And  we  said  unto  my  lord.  We  have 

a  father,  an  old  man,  and  a  child  of  his  old  age,  a 
little  one;  and  his  brother  is  dead,  and  he  alone  is 

21  left  of  his  mother,  and  his  father  loveth  him.  And 
thou  saidst  unto  thy  servants.  Bring  him  down  unto 

22  me,  that  I  may  set  mine  eyes  upon  him.  And  we  said 
unto  my  lord.  The  lad  can  not  leave  his  father :  for 
if  he  should  leave  his  father,  his  fiither  would  die.

youngest  brother  come  down  with  you,  ye   shall   see  my 
face  no  more. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  we  came  up  unto  thy  servant 
my  father,  we  told  him  the  words  of  my  lord. 

25  And  'our  father  said,  Go  again,  and  buy  us  a  little  food. 

26  And  we  said.  We  cannot  go  down :  if  our  youngest 
brother  be  with  us,  then  we  will  go  down  :  for  we  may  not 
see  the  man's  face,  except  our  youngest  brother  be  with  us. 

27  And  thy  servant  my  father  said  unto  us.  Ye  know  that 
"my  wife  bare  me  two  sons  : 

28  And  the  one  went  out  from  me,  and  I  said,  "Surely  he 
is  torn  in  pieces;  and  I  saw  him  not  since : 

29  And  if  ye  "take  this  also  from  me,and  mischief  befall  him, 
ye  shall  bring  down  my  gray  hairs  with  sorrow  to  the  grave. 

30  Now  therefore  when  I  come  to  thy  servant  my  father, 
and  the  lad  be  not  with  us ;  seeing  that  "his  life  is  bound 
up  in  the  lad's  life ; 

31  It  shall  come  to  pass,  when  he  seeth  that  the  lad  is  not 
with  MS,that  he  will  die  :  and  thy  servants  shall  bring  down  the 
gray  hairs  of  thy  servant  our  father  with  sorrow  to  the  grave. 

32  For  thy  servant  became  surety  for  the  lad  unto  my 
father,  saying,  'If  I  bring  him  not  unto  thee,  then  I  shall 
bear  the  blame  to  my  father  for  ever. 

33  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  'let  thy  servant  abide  in- 
stead of  the  lad  a  bondman  to  my  lord ;  and  let  the  lad  go 
up  with  his  brethren. 

34  For  how  shall  I  go  up  to  my  father,  and  the  lad  be  not 
with  me  ?  lest  peradventure  I  see  the  evil  that  shall  f  come 
on  my  father. 

CHAPTER  XLV. 

Joseph  maieth  himself  known  to  his  brethren — He  sendeth  for  his  father. 

THEN  Jo'seph  could  not  refrain  himself  before  all  them 
that  stood  by  him ;  and  he  cried.  Cause  every  man  to  go 
out  from  me.  And  there  stood  no  man  with  him,  while 
Jo'seph  made  himself  known  unto  his  brethren. 

2  And  he  fwept  aloud :  and  the  E-gyp'tians  and  the  house 
of  Pha'raoh  heard. 

3  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  brethren,  "I  am,  Jo'seph ;  doth 
my  father  yet  live?  And  his  brethren  could  not  answer 
him;  for  they  were  || troubled  at  his  presence. 

4  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  brethren.  Come  near  to  me,  I 
pray  you.  And  they  came  near.  And  he  said,  I  am  Jo'seph 
your  brother,  'whom  ye  sold  into  E'gypt. 

5  Now  therefore  "be  not  grieved,  fnor  angry  with  your- 
selves, that  ye  sold  me  hither :  ''for  God  did  send  me  before 
you  to  preserve  life. 

6  For  these  two  years  hath  the  famine  been  in  the  land  : 
and  yet  there  are  five  years,  in  the  which  there  shall  neither 
be  earing  nor  harvest. 

7  And  God  sent  me  before  you  fto  preserve  you  a  poster- 
ity in  the  earth,  and  to  save  your  lives  by  a  great  deliverance. 

8  So  now  it  was  not  you  that  sent  me  hither,  but  God : 
and  he  hath  made  me  *a  father  to  Pha'raoh,  and  lord  of  all 
his  house,  and  a  ruler  throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

9  Haste  ye,  and  go  up  to  my  father,  and  say  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  thy  son  Jo'seph,  God  hath  made  me  lord  of  all 
E'gypt :  come  down  unto  me,  tarry  not : 

10  And  -^thou  shalt  dwell  in  the  land  of  Go'shen,  and  thou 
shalt  be  near  unto  me,  thou,  and  thy  children,  and  thy  chil- 
dren's children,  and  thy  flocks,  and  thy  herds,  and  all  that 
thou  hast : 

11  And  there  will  I  nourish  thee ;  for  yet  there  are  five 
years  of  famine ;  lest  thou  and  thy  household,  and  all  that 
thou  hast,  come  to  poverty. 

12  And,  behold,  your  eyes  see,  and  the  eyes  of  my  brother 
Ben'ja-min,  that  it  is  "my  mouth  that  speaketh  unto  you. 

1 3  And  ye  shall  tell  my  father  of  all  my  glory  in  E'gypt, 
and  of  all  that  ye  have  seen  ;  and  ye  shall  haste  and  'bring 
down  my  father  hither. 


youngest  brother  come  down  with  you,  ye  shall  see 

24  my  face  no  more.  And  it  came  to  pass  when  we  came 
up  unto  thy  servant  my  father,  we  told  him  the  words 

25  of  my  lord.     And  our  father  said.  Go  again,  buy  us  a 

26  little  food.  And  we  said.  We  cannot  go  down  :  if  our 
youngest  brother  be  with  us,  then  will  we  go  down  : 
for  we  may  not  see  the  man's  face,  except  our  young- 

27  est  brother  be  with  us.  And  thy  servant  my  father 
said  unto  us.  Ye  know  that  my  wife  bare  me  two 

28  sons  :  and  the  one  went  out  from  me,  and  I  said. 
Surely  he  is  torn  in  pieces ;  and  I   have   not  seen 

29  him  since  :  and  if  ye  take  this  one  also  from  me, 
and  mischief  befall  him,  ye  shall  bring  down  my 

30  gray  hairs  with  'sorrow  to  ^the  grave.  Now  there- 
fore when  I  come  to  thy  servant  my  father,  and  the 
lad  be  not  with  us ;  seeing  that  ^his  life  is  bound  up 

31  in  the  lad's  life ;  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  he 
seeth  that  the  lad  is  not  vAth  us,  that  he  will  die : 
and  thy  servants  shall  bring  down  the  gray  hairs  of 
thy  servant  our  father  with  sorrow  to  ^the  grave. 

32  For  thy  servant  became  surety  for  the  lad  unto  my 
father,  saying.  If  I  bring  him  not  unto  thee,  then 

33  shall  I  bear  the  blame  to  my  father  for  ever.  Now 
therefore,  let  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee,  abide  instead 
of  the  lad  a  bondman  to  my  lord ;  and  let  the  lad 

34  go  up  with  his  brethren.  For  how  shall  I  go  up  to 
my  father,  and  the  lad  be  not  with  me  ?  lest  I  see  the 
evil  that  shall  come  on  my  father. 

^0  Then  Jo'seph  could  not  refrain  himself  before  all 
them  that  stood  by  him ;  and  he  cried,  Cause  every 
man  to  go  out  from  me.  And  there  stood  no  man 
Math  him,  while  Jo'seph  made  himself  known  unto  his 

2  brethren.     And  he  ^wept  aloud  :  and  the  E-gyp'tians 

3  heard,  and  the  house  of  Pha'raoh  heard.  And  Jo'- 
seph said  unto  his  brethren,  I  am  Jo'seph ;  doth  my 
father  yet  live  ?  And  his  brethren  could  not  an- 
swer him ;  for  they  were  troubled  at  his  presence. 

4  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  brethren.  Come  near  to 
me,  I  pray  you.  And  they  came  near.  And  he 
said,  I  am  Jo'seph  your  brother,  whom  ye  sold  into 

5  E'gypt.  And  now  be  not  grieved,  nor  angry  with 
yourselves,  that  ye  sold  me   hither :    for  God    did 

6  send  me  before  you  to  preserve  life.  For  these  two 
years  hath  the  famine  been  in  the  land  :  and  there 
are  yet  five  years,  in  the  which  there  shall  be  neither 

7  plowing  nor  harvest.  And  God  sent  me  before  you 
to  preserve  you  a  remnant  in  the  earth,  and  to  save 

8  you  alive  °by  a  great  deliverance.  So  now  it  was 
not  you  that  sent  me  hither,  but  God  :  and  he  hath 
made  me  a  father  to  Pha'raoh,  and  lord  of  all  his 

9  house,  and  ruler  over  all  the  land  of  E'gypt.  Haste 
ye,  and  go  up  to  my  father,  and  say  unto  him.  Thus 
saith  thy  son  Jo'seph,  God  hath  made  me  lord  of  all 

10  E'gypt :  come  down  unto  me,  tarry  not :  and  thou 
shalt  dwell  in  the  laud  of  Go'shen,  and  thou  shalt  be 
near  unto  me,  thou,  and  thy  children,  and  thy  chil- 
dren's children,  and  thy  flocks,  and  thy  herds,  and  all 

11  that  thou  hast :  and  there  will  I  nourish  thee  ;  for 
there  are  yet  five  years  of  famine ;  lest  thou  come 
to  poverty,  thou,  and  thy  household,  and  all  that 

12  thou  hast.  And,  behold,  your  eyes  see,  and  the  eyes 
of  my  brother  Ben'ja-min,  that  it  is  my  mouth  that 

13  speaketh  unto  you.  And  ye  shall  tell  my  father  of 
all  my  glory  in  E'gypt,  and  of  all  that  ye  have  seen ; 
and  ye  shall  haste  and  bring  down  my  father  hither.

14  And  he  fell  upon  his  brother  Ben'ja-min's  neck,  and 
wept ;  and  Ben'ja-min  wept  upon  his  neck. 

15  Moreover,  he  kissed  all  his  brethren,  and  wept  upon 
them :  and  after  that  his  brethren  talked  with  him. 

16  ^And  the  fame  thereof  was  heard  in  Pha'raoh's  house, 
saying,  Jo'seph's  brethren  are  come:  and  it  fpleased  Pha'raoh 
well,  and  his  servants. 

17  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Jo'seph,  Say  unto  thy  brethren,This 
do  ye;  lade  your  beasts,and  go,get  you  unto  the  land  of  Ca'naan; 

18  And  take  your  father  and  your  households,  and  come 
unto  me :  and  I  will  give  you  the  good  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  and  ye  shall  eat  'the  fat  of  the  land. 

19  Now  thou  art  commanded,  this  do  ye ;  take  you  wagons 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  your  little  ones,  and  for  your 
wives,  and  bring  your  father,  and  come. 

20  Also  fregard  not  your  stuff;  for  the  good  of  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt  is  yours. 

21  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  so :  and  Jo'seph  gave 
them  wagons,  according  to  the  fcommandment  of  Pha'raoh, 
and  gave  them  provision  for  the  way. 

22  To  all  of  them  he  gave  each  man  changes  of  raiment ; 
but  to  Ben'jamin  he  gave  three  hundred  pieces  of  silver,  and 
*five  changes  of  raiment. 

23  And  to  his  father  he  sent  after  this  manner ;  ten  asses 
tladen  with  the  good  things  of  E'gypt,  and  ten  she-asses 
laden  with  corn  and  bread  and  meat  for  his  father  by  the  way. 

24  So  he  sent  his  brethren  away,  and  they  departed :  and 
he  said  unto  them.  See  that  ye  fall  not  out  by  the  way. 

25  ^And  they  went  up  out  of  E'gypt,  and  came  into  the 
land  of  Ca'naan  unto  Ja'cob  their  father, 

26  And  told  him,  saying,  Jo'seph  is  yet  alive,  and  he  is 
governor  over  all  the  land  of  E'gypt.  'And  f  Ja'cob's  heart 
tinted,  for  he  believed  them  not. 

27  And  they  told  him  all  the  words  of  Jo'seph,  which  he  had 
said  unto  them :  and  when  he  saw  the  wagons  which  Jo'seph 
had  sent  to  carry  him,  the  spirit  of  Ja'cob  their  father  revived. 

28  And  Is'ra-el  said,  It  is  enough ;  Jo'seph  my  son  is  yet 
alive  :  I  will  go  and  see  him  before  I  die.  - 

CHAPTER    XLVI. 

Jacob  is  comforted  by  God — He  gocth  into  Egypt. 

AND  Is'ra-el  took  his  journey  with  all  that  he  had,  and 
came  to  "Be'er-she'ba,  and  offered  sacrifices  'unto  the 
God  of  his  father  I'saac. 

2  And  God  spake  unto  Is'ra-el  ''in  the  visions  of  the  night, 
and  said,  Ja'cob,  Ja'cob.     And  he  said,  Here  am,  I. 

3  And  he  said,  I  am  God,  ''the  God  of  thy  father:  fear  not  to  go 
down  into  E'gypt ;  for  I  will  there  *make  of  thee  a  great  nation. 

4  -^I  will  go  down  with  thee  into  E'gypt ;  and  I  will  also 
surely  "bring  thee  up  again :  and  'Jo'seph  shall  put  his  hand 
upon  thine  eyes. 

5  And  'Ja'cob  rose  up  from  Be'er-she'ba :  and  the  sons  of 
Is'ra-el  carried  Jacob  their  father,and  their  littleones,and  their 
wives,  in  the  wagons  *which  Pha'raoh  had  sent  to  carry  him. 

6  And  they  took  their  cattle,  and  their  goods,  which  they 
had  gotten  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and  came  into  E'gypt, 
'Ja'cob,  and  all  his  seed  with  him  : 

7  His  sons,  and  his  sons'  sons  with  him,  his  daughters,  and 
his  sons'  daughters,  and  all  his  seed  brought  he  with  him 
into  E'gypt.  . 

8  ^  And^these  are  the  names  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,which 
came  into  E'gypt,  Ja'cob  and  his  sons :  "Reu'ben,  Ja'cob's 
firstborn. 

9  And  the  sons  of  Reu'ben;  Ha'noch,  and  Phal'lu,  and 
Hez'ron,  and  Car'mi. 

10  ^And  "the  sons  of  Sim'e-on  ;  ||Jem'u-el,  and  Ja'min,  and

12  *!]  And  the  sons  of 'Ju'dah;  Er,  and  O'nan,  and  She'lah,and 


14  And  he  fell  upon  his  brother  Ben'ja-min's  neck,  and 

15  wept ;  and  Ben'ja-min  wept  upon  his  neck.  And  he 
kissed  all  his  brethren,  and  wept  upon  them  :  and 
after  that  his  brethren  talked  with  him. 

16  And  the  fame  thereof  was  heard  in  Pha'raoh's 
house,  saying,  Jo'seph's  brethren  are  come :  and  it 

1 7  pleased  Pha'raoh  well,  and  his  servants.  And  Pha'raoh 
said  unto  Jo'seph,  Say  unto  thy  brethren,  This  do 
ye  ;.  lade  your  beasts,  and  go,  get  you  unto  the  land 

18  of  Ca'naan ;  and  take  your  father  and  your  house- 
holds, and  come  unto  me :  and  I  will  give  you  the 
good  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  ye  shall  eat  the  fat 

19  of  the  land.  Now  thou  art  commanded,  this  do  ye  ; 
take  you  wagons  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  your 
little  ones,  and  for  your  wives,  and  bring  your  father, 

20  and  come.     Also  regard  not  your  stuff;  for  the  good 

21  of  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  is  yours.  And  the  sons  of 
Is'ra-el  did  so  :  and  Jo'seph  gave  them  wagons,  ac- 
cording to  the  commandment  of  Pha'raoh,  and  gave 

22  them  provision  for  the  way.  To  all  of  them  he  gave 
each  man  changes  of  raiment ;  but  to  Ben'ja-min  he 
gave  three  hundred  pieces  of  silver,  and  five  changes 

23  of  raiment.  And  to  his  father  he  sent  after  this 
manner ;  ten  asses  laden  with  the  good  things  of 
E'gypt,  and  ten  she-asses  laden  with  corn  and  bread 

24  and  victual  for  his  father  by  the  way.  So  he  sent 
his  brethren  away,  and  they  departed :  and  he  said 

25  unto  them.  See  that  ye  fall  not  out  by  the  way.  And 
they  went  up  out  of  E'gypt,  and  came  into  the  land 

26  of  Ca'naan  unto  Ja'cob  their  father.  And  they  told 
him,  saying,  Jo'seph  is  yet  alive,  and  he  is  ruler  over 
all  the  land  of  E'gypt.   And  his  heart  fainted,  for  he 

27  believed  them  not.  And  thoy  told  him  all  the  words 
of  Jo'seph,  which  he  had  said  unto  them :  and  when 
he  saw  the  wagons  which  Jo'seph  had  sent  to  carry 

28  him,  the  spirit  of  Ja'cob  their  father  revived :  and 
Is'ra-el  said.  It  is  enough ;  Jo'seph  my  son  is  yet  alive: 
I  will  go  and  see  him  before  I  die. 

*0  And  Is'ra-el  took  his  journey  with  all  that  he  had, 
and  came  to  Be'er-she'ba,  and  offered  sacrifices  unto 

2  the  God  of  his  father  I'saac.  And  God  spake  unto 
Is'ra-el  in  the  visions  of  the  night,  and  said,  Ja'cob, 

3  Ja'cob.  And  he  said.  Here  am  I.  And  he  said,  I 
am  God,  the  God  of  thy  father:  fear  not  to  go  down 
into  E'gypt ;  for  I  will  there  make  of  thee  a  great 

4  nation  :  I  will  go  down  with  thee  into  E'gypt ;  and 
I  will  also  surely  bring  thee  up  again  :  and  Jo'seph 

5  shall  put  his  hand  upon  thine  eyes.  And  Ja'cob 
rose  up  from  Be'er-she'ba :  and  the  sons  of  Is'ra-el 
carried  Ja'cob  their  father,  and  their  little  ones,  and 
their  wives,  in  the  wagons  which  Pha'raoh  had  sent

28  And  he  sent  Ju'dah  before  him  unto  Jo'seph,  to 
shew  the  way  before  him  unto  Go'shen ;   and  they 

29  came  into  the  land  of  Go'shen.  And  Jo'seph  made

the  land  are  we  come:  for  thy  servants  have  no  pasture  for 
their  flocks,  "for  the  famine  is  sore  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan  : 
now  therefore,  we  pray  thee,  let  thy  servants  *dwell  in  the 
land  of  Go'shen. 

5  And  Pha'raoh  spake  unto  Jo'seph,  saying,  Thy  father  and 
thy  brethren  are  come  unto  thee  : 

6  'The  land  of  E'gypt  is  before  thee ;  in  the  best  of  the 
land  make  thy  father  and  brethren  to  dwell ;  *in  the  land 
of  Go'shen  let  them  dwell :  and  if  thou  knowest  any  men 
of  activity  among  them,  then  make  them  rulers  over  my 
cattle. 

7  And  Jo'seph  brought  in  Ja'cob  his  father,  and  set  him 
before  Pha'raoh :  and  Ja'cob  blessed  Pha'raoh. 

8  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Ja'cob,  fHow  old  art  thou? 

9  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  Pha'raoh,  'The  days  of  the  years  of 
my  pilgrimage  are  a  hundred  and  thirty  years :  "few  and 
evil  have  the  days  of  the  years  of  my  life  been,  and  "have 
not  attained  unto  the  days  of  the  years  of  the  life  of  my 
fathers  in  the  days  of  their  pilgrimage. 

10  And  Ja'cob  "blessed  Pha'raoh,  and  went  out  from  before 
Pha'raoh. 

11  ^And  Jo'seph  placed  his  father  and  his  brethren,  and 
gave  them  a  possession  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  best 
of  the  land,  in  the  land  of  ''Ra-me'ses,  'as  Pha'raoh  had  com- 
manded. 

12  And  Jo'seph  nourished  his  father,  and  his  brethren,  and 
all  his  father's  household,  with  ||  f  bread  according  to  their 
families. 

13  ^And  there  was  no  bread  in  all  the  land  ;  for  the  famine 
was  very  sore,  'so  that  the  land  of  E'gypt  and  all  the  land 
of  Ca'naan  fainted  by  reason  of  the  famine. 

14  'And  Jo'seph  gathered  up  all  the  money  that  was  found 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  for  the 
corn  which  they  bought :  and  Jo'seph  brought  the  money 
into  Pha'raoh's  house. 

15  And  when  money  failed  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  in 
the  land  of  Ca'naan,  all  the  E-gyp'tians  came  unto  Jo'seph, 
and  said.  Give  us  bread :  for  Svhy  should  we  die  in  thy 
presence  ?  for  the  money  faileth. 

16  And  Jo'seph  said.  Give  your  cattle ;  and  I  will  give  you 
for  your  cattle,  if  money  fail. 

17  And  they  brought  their  cattle  unto  Jo'seph :  and  Jo'seph 
gave  them  bread  in  exchange  for  horses,  and  for  the  flocks, 
and  for  the  cattle  of  the  herds,  and  for  the  asses ;  and  he 
ffed  them  with  bread  for  all  their  cattle  for  that  year. 

18  When  that  year  was  ended,  they  came  unto  him  the 
second  year,  and  said  unto  him.  We  will  not  hide  it  from 
my  lord,  how  that  our  money  is  spent ;  my  lord  also  hath 
our  herds  of  cattle ;  there  is  not  aught  left  in  the  sight  of 
my  lord,  but  our  bodies,  and  our  lands  : 

19  Wherefore  shall  we  die  before  thine  eyes,  both  we  and 
our  land  ?  buy  us  and  our  land  for  bread,  and  we  and  our 
land  will  be  servants  unto  Pha'raoh :  and  give  us  seed,  that 
we  may  live,  and  not  die,  that  the  land  be  not  desolate. 

20  And  Jo'seph  bought  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  Pha'raoh ; 
for  the  E-gyp'tians  sold  every  man  his  field,  because  the 
famine  prevailed  over  them :  so  the  land  became  Pha'raoh's. 

21  And  as  for  the  people,  he  removed  them  to  cities  from 
one  end  of  the  borders  of  E'gypt  even  to  the  other  end 
thereof. 

22  "Only  the  land  of  the  |[  priests  bought  he  not;  for  the 
priests  had  a  portion  assigned  them  of  Pha'raoh,  and  did  eat 
their  portion  which  Pha'raoh  gave  them :  wherefore  they 
sold  not  their  lands. 

23  Then  Jo'seph  said  unto  the  people.  Behold,  I  have  bought 
you  this  day  and  your  land  for  Pha'raoh :  lo,  here  is  seed  for 
you,  and  ye  shall  sow  the  land. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the  increase,  that  ye  shall 
give  the  fifth  part  unt«  Pha'raoh,  and  four  parts  shall  be  your 


the  land  are  we  come ;  for  there  is  no  pasture  for  thy 
servants'  flocks ;  for  the  famine  is  sore  in  the  land 
of  Ca'naan :  now  therefore,  we  pray  thee,  let  thy  serv- 

5  ants  dwell  in  the  land  of  Go'.shen.  And  Pha'raoh 
spake   unto    Jo'seph,  saying.   Thy   father   and  thy 

6  brethren  are  come  unto  thee :  the  land  of  E'gypt  is 
before  thee ;  in  the  best  of  the  land  make  thy  father 
and  thy  brethren  to  dwell ;  in  the  land  of  Go'shen 
let  them  dwell :  and  if  thou  knowest  any  'able  men 
among  them,  then  make  them  rulers  over  my  cattle. 

7  And  Jo'seph  brought  in  Ja'cob  his  father,  and  set 
him  before  Pha'raoh :  and  Ja'cob  blessed  Pha'raoh. 

8  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  Ja'cob,  How  many  are  the 
9 days  of  the   years   of  thy  life?    And   Ja'cob  said 

unto  Pha'raoh,  The  days  of  the  years  of  my  ^pil- 
grimage are  an  hundred  and  thirty  years :  few  and 
evil  have  been  the  days  of  the  years  of  my  life,  and 
they  have  not  attained  unto  the  days  of  the  years 
of  the  life  of  my  fathers  in  the  days  of  their  ^pil 
lOgrimage.     And  Ja'cob  blessed  Pha'raoh,  and  went 
11  out  from  the  presence  of  Pha'raoh.     And  Jo'seph 
placed  his  father  and  his  brethren,  and  gave  them  a 
possession  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  best  of  the 
land,  in  the  land  of  Ra-me'ses,  as  Pha'raoh  had  com 
12manded.     And  Jo'seph  nourished  his  father,  and  his 
brethren,  and  all  his  father's  household,  with  bread, 
'according  to  their  families. 

13  And  there  was  no  bread  in  all  the  land  ;  for  the 
famine  was  very  sore,  so  that  the  land  of  E'gypt 
and  the  land  of  Ca'naan  fainted  by  reason  of  the 

14  famine.  And  Jo'seph  gathered  up  all  the  money 
that  was  found  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  in  the  land 
of  Ca'naan,  for  the  corn  which  they  bought :  and 
Jo'seph  brought  the  money  into  Pha'raoh's   house. 

15  And  when  the  money  was  all  spent  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  and  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  all  the  E-gyp'tians 
came  unto  Jo'seph,  and  said.  Give  us  bread  :  for  why 
should  we  die  in  thy  presence?  for  our  money  feil- 

16  eth.     And  Jo'seph  said.  Give  your  cattle  ;  and  I  will 

17  give  you  for  your  cattle,  if  money  fail.  And  they 
brought  their  cattle  unto  Jo'seph :  and  Jo'seph  gave 
them  bread  in  exchange  for  the  horses,  and  for  the 
■•flocks,  and  for  the  herds,  and  for  the  asses :  and  he 
'fed  them  with  bread  in  exchange  for  all  their  cattle 

18  for  that  year.  And  when  that  year  was  ended,  they 
came  unto  him  the  second  year,  and  said  unto  him, 
We  will  not  hide  from  my  lord,  how  that  our  money 
is  all  spent ;  and  the  herds  of  cattle  are  my  lord's ; 
there  is  naught  left  in  the  sight  of  my  lord,  but  our 

19  bodies,  and  our  lands:  wherefore  should  we  die  be- 
fore thine  eyes,  both  we  and  our  land  ?  buy  us  and 
our  land  for  bread,  and  we  and  our  land  Avill  be 
servants  unto  Pha'raoh :  and  give  us  seed,  that  we 
may  Kve,  and  not  die,  and  that  the  land  be  not  des- 

20  olate.  So  Jo'seph  bought  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  for 
Pha'raoh;  for  the  E-gyp'tians  sold  every  man  his 
field,  because  the  famine  was  sore  upon   them:  and 

21  the  land  became  Pha'raoh's.  And  as  for  the  peo- 
ple, ^he  removed  them  'to  the  cities  from  one  end 
of  the   border  of  E'gypt  even   to   the   other  end 

22  thereof.  Only  the  land  of  tiie  priests  bought  he 
not :  for  the  priests  had  a  portion  from  Pha'raoh, 
and  did  eat  their  portion  which  Pha'raoh  gave  them ; 

23  wherefore  they  sold  not  their  laud.  Then  Jo'seph 
said  unto  the  people.  Behold,  I  have  bought  you 
this  day  and  your  land  for  Pha'raoh :  lo,  here  is  seed 

24 for  you,  and  ye  shall  sow  the  land.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  at  the  ingatherings,  that  ye  shall  give 
a  fifth  unto  Pha'raoh,  and  four  parts  shall  be  your

of  your  households,  and  for  food  for  your  little  ones. 

25  And  they  said,  Thou  hast  saved  our  lives :  ''let  us  find 
grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord,  and  we  will  be  Pha'raoh's 
servants. 

26  And  Jo'seph  made  it  a  law  over  the  land  of  E'gypt  unto 
this  day,  that  Pha'raoh  should  have  the  fifth  part;  "except 
the  land  of  the  |1  priests  only,  which  became  not  Pha'raoh's. 

27  ^And  Is'ra-el  'dwelt  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  country 
of  Go'sheu;  and  they  had  possessions  therein,  and  "grew, 
and  multiplied  exceedingly. 

28  And  Ja'cob  lived  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  seventeen  years : 
so  fthe  whole  age  of  Ja'cob  was  a  hundred  forty  and  seven 
years. 

29  And  the  time  'drew  nigh  that  Is'ra-el  must  die :  and  he 
called  his  son  Jo'seph,  and  said  unto  him.  If  now  I  have  found 
grace  in  thy  sight,  "put,  I  pray  thee,  thy  hand  under  my 
thigh,  and  ''deal  kindly  and  truly  with  me;  'bury  me  not,  I 
pray  thee,  in  E'gypt : 

30  But-'^I  will  lie  with  my  fathers,  and  thou  shalt  carry  me 
out  of  E'gypt,  and  "bury  me  in  their  buryingplace.  And 
he  said,  I  will  do  as  thou  liast  said. 

31  And  he  said.  Swear  unto  me.  And  he  aware  unto  him. 
And  *Is'ra-el  bowed  himself  upon  the  bed's  head. 

CHAPXER  XLVIII. 

Joseph  visiteth  his  sick  father—Jacob  repeateth  the  promise. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  one,  told 
Jo'seph,  Behold,  thy  father  is  sick :  and  he  took  with 
him  his  two  sons,  Ma-nas'seh  and  E'phra-im. 

2  And  one  told  Ja'cob,  and  said.  Behold,  thy  son  Jo'seph 
Cometh  unto. thee:  and  Is'ra-el  strengthened  himself,  and  sat 
upon  the  bed. 

3  And  Ja'cob  said  unto  Jo'seph,  God  Almighty  appeared 
unto  me  at  °Luz  in  the  land  oi  Ca'naan,  and  blessed  me, 

4  And  said  unto  me.  Behold,  I  will  make  thee  fruitful,  and 
multiply  thee,  and  I  will  make  of  thee  a  multitude  of  people ; 
and  will  give  this  land  to  thy  seed  after  thee  ^Jor  an  ever- 
lasting possession. 

5  "if  And  now  thy  "two  sons,  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh, 
which  were  born  unto  thee  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  before  I 
came  unto  thee  into  E'gypt,  are  mine ;  as  Reu'ben  and  Sim'- 
e-on,  they  shall  be  mine. 

6  And  thy  issue,  which  thou  begettest  after  them,  shall  be 
thine,  and  shall  be  called  after  the  name  of  their  brethren 
in  their  inheritance. 

7  And  as  for  me,  when  I  came  from  Pa'dan,  ''Ra'chel  died 
by  me  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan  in  the  way,  when  yet  there  wan 
but  a  little  way  to  come  unto  Eph'rath :  and  I  buried  her 
there  in  the  way  of  Eph'rath ;  the  same  is  Beth'le-hem. 

,  8  And  Is'ra-el  beheld  Jo'seph's  sons,and  said,'Who  are  these  ? 

9  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  father,  'They  are  my  sons, 
whom  God  hath  given  me  in  this  place.  And  he  said.  Bring 
them,  I  pray  thee,  unto  me,  and  -^I  will  bless  them. 

10  Now  "the  eyes  of  Is'ra-el  were  fdim  for  age,  so  that  he 
could  not  see.  And  he  brought  them  near  unto  him;  and 
*he  kissed  them,  and  embraced  them. 

11  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Jo'seph,  *I  had  not  thought  to  see 
thy  face :  and,  lo,  God  hath  shewed  me  also  thy  seed. 

12  And  Jo'seph  brought  them  out  from  between  his  knees, 
and  he  bowed  himself  with  his  face  to  the  earth. 

13  And  Jo'seph  took  them  both,  E'phra-im  in  his  right  hand 
toward  Is'ra-el's  left  hand,  and  Ma-nas'seh  in  his  left  hand 
toward  Is'ra-el's  right  hand,  and  brought  <Aem  near  unto  him. 

14  And  Is'ra-el  stretched  out  his  right  hand,  and  laid  it  upon 
E'phra-im's  head,  who  was  the  younger,  and  his  left  hand 
upon  Ma-nas'seh's  head,  *guiding  his  hands  wittingly;  for 
Ma-nas'seh  was  the  firstborn. 

15  ^And  'he  blessed  Jo'seph,  and  said,  God,  ""before  whom 


own,  for  seed  of  the  field,  and  for  your  food,  and  for 
them  of  your   households,  and   for  food   for  your 

25  little  ones.  And  they  said.  Thou  hast  saved  our 
lives :  let  us  find  grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord,  and 

26  we  will  be  Pha'raoh's  servants.  And  Jo'seph  made 
it  a  statute  concerning  the  land  of  E'gypt  unto  this 
day,  that  Pha'raoh  should  have  the  fifth ;   only  the 

27  land  of  the  priests  alone  became  not  Pha'raoh's.  And 
Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  land  of 
Go'shen;  and  they  gat  them  possessions  therein,  and 
were  fruitful  and  multiplied  exceedingly. 

28  And  Ja'cob  lived  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  seventeen 
years :  so  the  days  of  Ja'cob,  the  years  of  his  life, 

29  were  an  hundred  forty  and  seven  years.  And  the 
time  drew  near  that  Is'ra-el  must  die :  and  he  called 
his  son  Jo'seph,  and  said  unto  him.  If  now  I  have 
found  grace  in  thy  sight,  put,  I  pray  thee,  thy  hand 
under  my  thigh,  and  deal  kindly  and  truly  with  me ; 

30 bury  me  not,  I  pray  thee,  in  E'gypt:  but  when  I 
sleep  with  my  fathers,  thou  shalt  carry  me  out  of 
E'gypt,  and  bury  me  in  their  buryingplace.     And 

31  he  said,  I  will  do  as  thou  hast  said.  And  he  said. 
Swear  unto  me:  and  he  sware  unto  him.  And 
Is'ra-el  bowed  himself  upon  the  bed's  head. 

+^C>  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  one 
said  to  Jo'seph,  Behold,  thy  father  is  sick:  and  he 
took  with  him  his  two  sons,  Ma-nas'seh  and  E'phra- 

2im.  And  one  told  Ja'cob,  and  said.  Behold,  thy 
son  Jo'seph  cometh  unto  thee :  and  Is'ra-el  strength- 

3ened  himself,  and  sat  upon  the  bed.  And  Ja'cob 
said  unto  Jo'seph,  'God  Almighty  appeared  unto 
me  at  Luz  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and  blessed  me, 

4  and  said  unto  me.  Behold,  I  will  make  thee  fruitful, 
and  multiply  thee,  and  I  will  make  of  thee  a  com- 
pany of  peoples ;  and  will  give  this  land  to  thy  seed 

5  after  thee  for  an  everlasting  possession.  And  now 
thy  two  sons,  which  were  born  unto  thee  in  the  land 
of  E'gypt  before  I  came  unto  thee  into  E'gypt,  are 
mine ;  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh,  even  as  Reu'ben  and 

6  Sim'e-on  shall  be  mine.  And  thy  issue,  which  thou 
^begettest  after  them,  shall  be  thine;  they  shall  be 
called  after  the  name  of  their  brethren  in  their  in- 

7  heritance.  And  as  for  me,  when  I  came  from  Pad'- 
dan,  Ra'chel  died  %y  me  ir  the  land  of  Ca'naan  in 
the  way,  when  there  was  still  some  way  to  come 
unto  Eph'rath:  and  I  buried  her  there  in  the  way 

8  to  Eph'rath  (the  same  is  Beth'le-hem).  And  Is'ra-el 
beheld   Jo'seph's   sons,   and   said.  Who  are    these? 

9  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  father.  They  are  my  sons, 
whom  God  hath  given  me  here.  And  he  said. 
Bring  them,  I  pray  thee,  unto  me,  and  I  will  bless 

10  them.  Now  the  eyes  of  Is'ra-el  were  dim  forage,  so 
that  he  could  not  see.  And  he  brought  them  near 
unto  him ;  and  he  kissed  them,  and  embraced  them. 

11  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Jo'seph,  I  had  not  thought  to 
see  thy  face :  and,  lo,  God  hath  let  me  see  thy  seed 

12  also.  And  Jo'seph  brought  them  out  from  between 
his  knees ;  and  he  bowed  himself  with  his  face  to 

13  the  earth.  And  Jo'seph  took  them  both,  E'phra-im 
in  his  right  hand  toward  Is'ra-el's  left  hand,  and 
Ma-nas'seh  in  his  left  hand  toward  Is'ra-el's  right 

14  hand,  and  brought  them  near  unto  him.  And  Is'- 
ra-el stretched  out  his  right  hand,  and  laid  it  upon 
E'phra-im's  head,  who  was  the  younger,  and  his  left 
hand  upon    Ma-nas'seh's   head,  ^guiding  his  hands 

15 wittingly;  for  Ma-nas'seh  was  the  firstborn.  And 
he  blessed  Jo'seph,  and  said,  The  God  before  whom

my  fathers  A'bra-ham  and  I'saac  did  walk,  the  God  which 
fed  me  all  my  life  long  unto  this  day, 

16  The  Angel  "which  redeemed  me  from  all  evil,  bless  the 
lads ;  and  let  "my  name  .be  named  on  them,  and  the  name 
of  my  fathers  A'bra-ham  and  I'saac ;  and  let  them  fgrow 
into  a  multitude  in  the  midst  of  the  earth. 

17  And  when  Jo'seph  saw  that  his  father  "laid  his  right 
hand  upon  the  head  of  E'phra-im,  it  ||  displeased  him :  and 
he  held  up  his  father's  hand,  to  remove  it  from  E'phra-im's 
head  unto  Ma'nas-seh's  head. 

18  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  father.  Not  so,  my  father: 
for  this  is  the  firstborn ;  put  thy  right  hand  upon  his  head. 

19  And  his  father  refused,  and  said,  «I  know  it,  my 
son,  I  know  it :  he  also  shall  become  a  people,  and  he  also 
shall  be  great :  but  truly  ""his  younger  brother  shall  be 
greater  than  he,  and  his  seed  shall  become  a  fmultitade

20  And  he  blessed  them  that  day,  saying,  'In  thee  shall 
Is'ra-el  bless,  saying,  God  make  thee  as  E'phra-im  and  as 
Ma-nas'seh :  and  he  set  E'phra-im  before  Ma-nas'seh. 

21  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Jo'seph,  Behold,  I  die ;  but  'God 
shall  be  with  you,  and  bring  you  again  unto  the  land  of 
your  fathers. 

22  Moreover  "I  have  given  to  thee  one  portion  above  thy 
brethren,  which  I  took  out  of  the  hand  ""of  the  Am'o-rite 
with  my  sword  and  with  my  bow. 

CHLAF'TER  XLIX. 

Jacob  calleth  his  sons  together — His  speech  to  Reuben — His  death. 

AND  Ja'cob  called  unto  his  sons,  and  said,  Gather  your- 
selves together,  that  I  may  "tell  you  that  which  shall 
befall  you  'in  the  last  days. 

2  Gather  yourselves  together,  and  hear,  ye  sons  of  Ja'cob ; 
and  "hearken  unto  Is'ra-el  your  father. 

3  ^Reu'ben,  thou  art  ''my  firstborn,  my  might,  'and  the 
beginning  of  my  strength,  the  excellency  of  dignity,  and  the 
excellency  of  power : 

4  Unstable  as  water,  f^thou  shalt  not  excel ;  because  thou 
'wen test  up  to  thy  father's  bed;  then  defiledst  thou  it:  ||he 
went  up  to  my  couch. 

5  "ly'Sim'e-on  and  Le'vi  are  '"brethren;  |1  instruments  of 
cruelty  are  in  their  habitations. 

6  O  my  soul,  'come  not  thou  into  their  secret ;  "unto  their 
assembly,  "mine  honour,  be  not  thou  united :  for  "in  their 
anger  they  slew  a  man,  and  in  their  selfwill  they  ||  digged 
down  a  wall. 

7  Cursed  be  their  anger,  for  it  was  fierce ;  and  their  wrath, 
for  it  was  cruel :  "I  will  divide  them  in  Ja'cob  and  scatter 
them  in  Is'ra-el. 

8  ^'Ju'dah,  thou  art  he  whom  thy  brethren  shall  praise: 
'thy  hand  shall  be  in  the  neck  of  thine  enemies ;  'thy  father's 
children  shall  bow  down  before  thee. 

9  Ju'dah  is  '&  lion's  whelp :  from  the  prey,  my  son,  thou 
art  gone  up:  "he  stooped  down,  he  couched  as  a  lion,  and 
as  an  old  lion;  who  shall  rouse  him  up? 

10  "'The  sceptre  shall  not  depart  from  Ju'dah,  nor  "a  law- 
giver 'from  between  his  feet,  "until  Shi'loh  come ;  'and  unto 
him  shall  the  gathering  of  the  people  be. 

11  "Binding  his  foal  unto  tho  vine,  and  his  ass's  colt  unto 
the  choice  vine ;  he  washed  his  garments  in  wine,  and  his 
clothes  in  the  blood  of  grapes : 

12  His  ""eyes  shall  be  red  with  wine,  and  his  teeth  white 
with  milk, 

13  TJ'Zeb'u-lun  shall  dwell  at  the  haven  of  the  sea;  and  he 
shall  be  for  a  haven  of  ships;  and  his  border  shall  be  unto 
Zi'don. 


my  fathers  A'bra-ham  and  I'saac  did  walk,  the  God 

16  which  hath  fed  me  all  my  life  long  unto  this  day,  the 
angel  which  hath  redeemed  me  from  all  evil,  bless 
the  lads;  and  let  my  name  be  named  on  them,  and 
the  name  of  my  fathers  A'bra-ham  and  I'saac ;  and  let 
them  grow  into  a  multitude  in  the  midst  of  the  earth. 

17  And  when  Jo'seph  saw  that  his  father  laid  his  right 
hand  upon  the  head  of  E'phra-im,  it  displeased  him : 
and  he  held  up  his  father's  hand,  to  remove  it  from 

18  E'phra-im's  head  unto  Ma-nas'seh's  head.  And  Jo'seph 
said  unto  his  father.  Not  so,  my  father :  for  this  is  the 

19 firstborn;  put  thy  right  hand  upon  his  head.  And 
his  father  refused,  and  said,  I  know  it,  my  son,  I 
know  it :  he  also  shall  become  a  people,  and  he  also 
shall  be  great :  howbeit  his  younger  brother  shall  be 
greater  than  he,  and  his  seed  shall  become  'a  mul- 

20titude  of  nations.  And  he  blessed  them  that  day, 
saying,  ^In  thee  shall  Is'ra-el  bless,  saying,  God  make 
thee  as  E'phra-im  and  as  Ma-nas'seh:    and   he  set 

21  E'phra-im  before  Ma-nas'seh.  And  Is'ra-el  said  unto 
Jo'seph,  Behold,  I  die:  but  God  shall  be  with  you, 
and  bring  you  again  unto  the  land  of  your  fathers. 

22  Moreover  I  have  given  to  thee  one  'portion  above 
thy  brethren,  which  I  took  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
Am'o-rite  with  my  sword  and  with  my  bow. 

^y  And  Ja'cob  called  unto  his  sons,  and  said :  Gather 
yourselves  together,  that  I  may  tell  you  that  which 
shall  befall  you  in  the  latter  days. 

2  Assemble  yourselves,  and  hear,  ye  sons  of  Ja'cob ; 
And  hearken  unto  Is'ra-el  your  father. 

3  Reu'ben,  thou  art  my  firstborn,  my  might,  and 

the  ^beginning  of  my  strength; 
The  excellency  of  dignity,  and  the  excellency  of 
power. 

4  'Unstable  as  water,  *thou  shalt  not  have  the  excel- 

lency ; 
Because  thou  wentest  up  to  thy  father's  bed : 
Then  defiledst  thou  it:  he  went  up  to  my  couch. 

5  Sim'e-on  and  Le'vi  are  brethren; 
Weapons  of  violence  are  their  'swords. 

6  O  my  soul,  come  not  thou  into  their  ^council : 
Unto  their  assembly,  my  glory,  be  not  thou  united ; 
For  in  their  anger  they  slew  'a  man. 

And  in  their  selfwill  they  houghed  "an  ox. 

7  Cursed  be  their  anger,  for  it  was  fierce; 
And  their  wrath,  for  it  was  cruel: 

I  will  divide  them  in  Ja'cob, 
And  scatter  them  in  Is'ra-el. 

8  Ju'dah,  thee  shall  thy  brethren  praise : 

Thy  hand  shall  be  on  the  neck  of  thine  enemies ; 
Thy  father's  sony  shall  bow  down  before  thee. 

9  Ju'dah  is  a  lion's  whelp; 

From  the  prey,  my  son,  thou  art  gone  up: 
He  stooped  down,  he  couched  as  a  lion. 
And  as  a  lioness;  who  shall  rouse  him  up? 

10  The  sceptre  shall  not  depart  from  Ju'dah, 
Nor  "the  ruler's  staff  from  between  his  feet, 
"Until  Shi'loh  come; 

And  unto  him  shall  the  obedience  of  the  peoples  be. 

11  Binding  his  foal  unto  the  vine. 

And  his  ass's  colt  unto  the  choice  vine ; 
He  hath  washed  his  garments  in  wine, 
And  his  vesture  in  the  blood  of  grapes : 

12  His  eyes  shall  be  red  with  wine, 
And  his  teeth  white  with  milk. 

13  Zeb'u-lun  shall  dwell  at  the  '%aven  of  the  sea : 
And  he  shall  be  for  an  "haven  of  ships ; 

And  his  border  shall  be  "upon  Zi'don.

Jo'seph  spake  unto  "the  house  of  Pha'raoh,  saying,  If  now 
I  have  found  grace  in  your  eyes,  speak,  I  pray  you,  in  the 
ears  of  Pha'raoh,  saying, 

5  ■'^My  father  made  me  swear,  saying,  Lo,  I  die :  in 
my  grave  "which  I  have  digged  for  me  in  the  land  of 
Ca'naaji,  there  shalt  thou  bury  me.  Now  therefore  let 
me  go  up,  I  pray  theey  and  bury  my  fadier,  and  I  will 
come  again. 

6  And  Pha'raoh  said.  Go  up,  and  bury  thy  father,  accord- 
ing as  he  made  thee  swear. 

7  •[[And  Jo'seph  went  up  to  bury  his  &ther :  and  with  him 
went  up  all  the  servants  of  Pha'raoh,  the  elders  of  his  house, 
and  all  the:  elders  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 

8  And  all  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  and  his  brethren,  and  his 
father's  house :  only  their  little  ones,  and  their  flocks,  and 
their  herds,  they  left  in  the  land  of  Go'shen. 

9  And  there  went  up  with  him  both  chariots  and  horse- 
men :  and  it  was  a  very  great  company. 

10  And  they  came  to  the  threshingfloor  of  A'tad,  which 
is  beyond  Jor'dan ;  and  there  they  ''mourned  with  a  great  and 
very  sore  lamentation :  'and  he  made  a  mourning  for  his 
father  seven  days. 

11  And  when  the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  the  Ca'naan-ites, 
saw  the  mourning  in  the  floor  of  A'tad,  they  said,  This 
is  a  grievous  mourning  to  the  E-gyp'tians :  wherefore  the 
name  of  it  is  called  1 1  A'bel-miz'ra-im,  which  is  beyond  Jor'dan. 

12  And  his  sons  did  unto  him  according  as  he  commanded 
them: 

13  For  *his  sons  carried  him  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and 
buried  him  in  the  cave  of  the  field  of  Mach-pe'lah,  which 
A'bra-ham  ^bought  with  the  iield  for  a  possession  of  a  bury- 
ingplace  of  E'phron  the  Hit'tite,  before  Mam're. 

14  ^And  Jo'seph  returned  into  E'gypt,  he,  and  his  breth- 
ren, and  all  that  went  up  with  him  to  bury  his  father,  after 
he  had  buried  his  father. 

15  ^And  when  Jo'seph's  brethren  saw  that  their  father  was 
dead,^"4:hey  said,  Jo'seph  will  peradventure  hate  us,  and  will 
certainly  requite  us  all  the  evil  which  we  did  unto  him. 

16  And  they  fsent  a  messenger  unto  Jo'seph,  saying.  Thy 
father  did  command  before  he  died,  saying, 

17  So  shall  ye  say  unto  Jo'seph,  Forgive,  I  pray  thee  now, 
the  trespass  of  thy  brethren,  and  their  sin ;  "for  they  did 
unto  thee  evil :  and  now,  we  pray  thee,  forgive  the  trespass 
of  the  servants  of  "the  God  of  thy  father.  And  Jo'seph 
wept  when  they  spake  unto  him. 

18  And  his  brethren  also  went  and  ''fell  down  before  his 
face ;  and  they  said,  Behold,  we  be  thy  servants. 

19  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  them,  'Fear  not :  ""for  am  I  in 
the  place  of  God? 

20  'But  as  for  you,  ye  thought  evil  against  me ;  bid  'God 
meant  it  unto  good,  to  bring  to  pass,  as  it  is  this  day,  to 
save  much  people  alive. 

21  Now  therefore  fear  ye  not:  "I  will  nourish  you,  and 
your  little  ones.  And  he  comforted  them,  and  spake 
fkindly  unto  them, 

22  ^And  Jo'seph  dwelt  in  E'gypt,  he,  and  his  father's 
house :  and  Jo'seph  lived  a  hundred  and  ten  years. 

23  And  Jo'seph  saw  E'phra-im's  children  ^of  the  third 
generation :  "the  children  also  of  Ma'chir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'- 
seh  'were  fbrought  up  upon  Jo'seph's  knees. 

24  And  Jo'seph  said  unto  his  brethren,  I  die ;  and  "God 
will  surely  visit  you,  and  bring  you  out  of  this  land  unto 
the  land  'which  he  sware  to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to 
Ja'cob. 

25  And  "Jo'seph  took  an  oath  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
saying,  God  will  surely  visit  you,  and  ye  shall  carry  up  my 
bones  from  hence. 

26  So  Jo'seph  died,  being  a  hundred  and  ten  years  old : 
and  they  ''embalmed  him,  and  he  was  put  in  a  coifin  in  E'gypt. 


Jo'seph  spake  unto  the  house  of  Pha'raoh,  saying,  If 
now  I  have  found  grace  in  your  eyes,  speak,  I  pray 

5  you,  in  the  ears  of  Pha'raoh,  saying.  My  father  made 
me  swear,  saying,  Lo,  I  die :  in  my  grave  which  I 
'have  digged  for  me  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  there 
shalt  thou  bury  me.  Now  therefore  let  me  go  up, 
I  pray  thee,  and  bury  my  father,  and  I  will   come 

6  again.     And  Pha'raoh  said.  Go  up,  and  bury  thy 

7  father,  according  as  he  made  thee  swear.  And 
Jo'seph  went  up  to  bury  his  father:  and  with  him 
went  up  all  the  servants  of  Pha'raoh,  the  elders  of 
his  house,  and  all  the  elders  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 

8  and  all  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  and  his  brethren,  and 
his  father's  house :  only  their  little  ones,  and  their 
flocks,  and  their  herds,  they  left  in  the  land  of 

9  Go'shen .  And  there  went  up  with  him  both  chariots 
and  horsemen :  and  it  was  a  very  great  company. 

10  And  they  came  to  the  threshing-floor  of  A'tad, 
which  is  beyond  Jor'dan,  and  there  they  lamented 
with  a  very  great  and  sore  lamentation  :  and  he  made 

11a  mourning  for  his  father  seven  days.  And  when 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  the  Ca'naan-ites,  saw  the 
mourning  in  the  floor  of  A'tad,  they  said.  This  is  a 
grievous  ^mourning  to  the  E-gyp'tians :  wherefore  the 
name  of  it  was  called  A'bel-miz'ra-im,  which  is  be- 

12  yond  Jor'dan.     And  his  sons  did  unto  him  according 

13 as  he  commanded  them:  for  his  sons  carried  him 
into  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and  buried  him  in  the  cave 
of  the  field  of  Mach-pe'lah,  which  A'bra-ham  bought 
with  the  field,  for  a  possession  of  a  buryingplace,  of 
E'phron  the  Hit'tite,  before  Mam're. 

14  And  Jo'seph  returned  into  E'gypt,  he,  and  his 
brethren,  and  all  that  went  up  with  him  to  bury  his 

15  father,  after  he  had  buried  his  father.  And  when 
Jo'seph's  brethren  saw  that  their  father  was  dead, 
they  said.  It  may  be  that  Jo'seph  will  hate  us,  and 
will  fully  requite  us  all  the  evil  which  we  did  unto 

16  him.     And  they  sent  a  message  unto  Jo'seph,  saying, 

17  Thy  &ther  did  command  before  he  died,  saying.  So 
shall  ye  say  unto  Jo'seph,  Forgive,  I  pray  thee  now, 
the  transgression  of  thy  brethren,  and  their  sin,  for 
that  they  did  unto  thee  evil :  and  now,  we  pray  thee, 
forgive  the  transgression  of  the  servants  of  the  God 
of  thy  father.     And  Jo'seph  wept  when  they  spake 

18  unto  him.  And  his  brethren  also  went  and  fell 
down  before  his  face ;  and  they  said,  Behold,  we  be 

19thy  servants.     And  Jo'seph  .said  unto  them.  Fear 

20 not :  for  am  I  in  the  place  of  God?     And  as  for 

you,   ye   meant   evil  against  me;  but  God  meant 

it  for  good,  to  bring  to  pass,  as  it    is  this  day,  to 

21  save  much  people  alive.  Now  therefore  fear  ye  not : 
I  will  nourish  you,  and  your  little  ones.  And  he 
comforted  them,  and  spake  ''kiudly  unto  them. 

22  And  Jo'seph  dwelt  in  E'gypt,  he,  and  his  father's 
house:  and  Jo'seph  lived  an  hundred  and  ten  years. 

23  And  Jo'seph  saw  E'phra-im's  children  of  the  third 
generation :  the  children  also  of  Ma'chir  the  son  of 

24Ma-nas'seh  were  born  upon  Jo'seph's  knees.  And 
Jo'seph  said  unto  his  brethren,  I  die :  but  God  will 
surely  visit  you,  and  bring  you  up  out  of  this  land 
unto  the  land  which  he  sware  to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saae, 

25  and  to  Ja'cob.  And  Jo'seph  took  an  oath  of  the 
children  of  Is'rarel,  saying,  God  will  surely  visit  you, 

26and  ye  shall  carry  up  my  bones  from  hence.  So 
Jo'seph  died,  being  an  hundred  and  ten  years  old: 
and  they  embalmed  him,  and  he  was  put  in  a  co£Sii

THE  SECOND  BOOK  OF  MOSES, 


CALLED 


EXODUS. 


CHAPTER  I. 

The  children  of  Israel  multiply— Pharaoh  kilteth  the  male  children. 

"VrOW  "these  are,  the  names  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
JjI  which  came  into  E'gypt ;  every  man  and  his  household 
came  with  Ja'cob. 

2  Reu'ben,  Sim'e-on,  Le'vi,  and  Ju'dah, 

3  Is'sa-char,  Zeb'u-lun,  and  Ben'ja-min, 

4  Dan,  and  Naph'ta-li,  Gad,  and  Ash'er. 

5  And  all  the  souls  that  came  out  of  the  floins  of  Ja'cob 
were  'seventy  souls  :  for  Jo'seph  was  in  E'gypt  already. 

6  And  "Jo'seph  died,  and  all  his  brethren,  and  all  that 
generation. 

7  ^''And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  fruitful,  and  increased 
abundantly,  and  multiplied,  and  waxed  exceeding  mighty  ; 
and  the  land  was  filled  with  them. 

8  Now  there  'arose  up  a  new  king  over  E'gypt,  which  knew 
not  Jo'seph. 

9  And  he  said  unto  his  people.  Behold,  -^the  people  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  are  more  and  mightier  than  we : 

10  "Come  on,  let  us  ''deal  wisely  with  them ;  lest  they 
multiply,  and  it  come  to  pass,  that,  when  there  falleth  out 
any  war,  they  join  also  unto  our  enemies,  and  fight  against 
us,  and  so  get  them  up  out  of  the  land. 

1 1  Therefore  they  did  set  over  them  taskmasters  *to  afflict 
them  with  their  *burdens.  And  they  built  for  Pha'raoh 
treasure  cities,  Pi'thom  'and  Ra-am'ses. 

12  fBut  the  more  they  afflicted  them,  the  more  they 
multiplied  and  grew.  And  they  were  grieved  because  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

13  And  the  E-gyp'tians  made  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  to 
serve  with  rigour : 

14  And  they  "'made  their  lives  bitter  with  hard  bondage, 
"in  mortar,  and  in  brick,  and  in  all  manner  of  service  in  the 
field  :  all  their  service,  wherein  they  made  them  serve,  was 
with  rigour. 

15  ^And  the  king  of  E'gypt  spake  to  the  He'brew  mid- 
wives,  of  which  the  name  of  the  one  was  Shiph'rah,  and  the 
name  of  the  other  Pu'ah  ; 

16  And  he  said,  When  ye  do  the  office  of  a  midwife  to  the 
He'brew  women,  and  see  them  upon  the  stools,  if  it  be  a 
son,  then  ye  shall  kill  him ;  but  if  it  be  a  daughter,  then  she 
shall  live. 

17  But  the  midwives  "feared  God,  and  did  not  "as  the 
king  of  E'gypt  commanded  them,  but  saved  the  men  chil- 
dren alive. 

18  And  the  king  of  E'gypt  called  for  the  midwives,  and 
said  unto  them,  Why  have  ye  done  this  thing,  and  have 
saved  the  men  children  alive  ? 

19  And  'the  midwives  said  unto  Pha'raoh,  Because  the 
He'brew  women  are  not  as  the  E-gyp'tian  women  ;  for  they 
are  lively,  and  are  delivered  ere  the  midwives  come  in  unto 
them. 

20  'Therefore  God  dealt  well  with  the  midwives  :  and  the 
people  multiplied,  and  waxed  very  mighty. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  because  the  midwives  feared  God, 
'that  he  made  them  houses. 

22  And  Pha'raoh  charged  all  his  people,  saying,  'Every 
son  that  is  born  ye  shall  cast  into  the  river,  and  every 
daughter  ye  shall  save  alive. 


THE  SECOND  BOOK  OF  MOSES, 


COMMONLY  CALLED 


EXODUS. 


4-   Now  these  are  the  names  of  the  sons  of  Is'ra-el, 

which  came  into  E'gypt ;  every  man  and  his  house- 

2  hold  came  with  Ja'cob.   Reu'ben,  Sim'e-on,  Le'vi,  and 

4  Ju'dah;  Is'sa-char,Zeb'u-lun,  and  Ben'ja-min;  Dan  and 

5  Naph'ta-li,  Gad  and  Ash'er.  And  all  the  souls  that 
came  out  of  the  loins  of  Ja'cob  were  seventy  souls 

6  and  Jo'seph  was  in  E'gypt  already.  And  Jo'seph 
died,  and  all  his  brethren,  and  all  that  generation 

7  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  fruitful,  and  in- 
creased abundantly,  and  multiplied,  and  waxed 
exceeding  mighty ;  and  the  land  was  filled  with 
them. 

8  Now  there  arose  a  new  king  over  E'gypt,  which 

9  knew  not  Jo'seph.  And  he  said  unto  his  people. 
Behold,  the  people  of  the  children   of  Is'ra-el  are 

10 'more  and  mightier  than  we  :  come,  let  us  deal  wisely 
with  them ;  lest  they  multiply,  and  it  come  to  pass, 
that,  when  there  falleth  out  any  war,  they  also  join 
themselves  unto  our  enemies,  and  fight  against  us. 

Hand  get  them  up  out  of  the  land.  Therefore  they 
did  set  over  them  taskmasters  to  afflict  them  with 
their  burdens.     And  they  built  for  Pha'raoh  store 

12  cities,  Pi'thom  and  Ra-am'ses.  But  the  more  they 
afflicted  them,  the  more  they  multiplied  and  the  more 
they  spread  abroad.     And  they  ^were   grieved   be- 

13  cause  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  E-gyp'tians 
made  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  to  serve  with  rigour : 

14  and  they  made  their  lives  bitter  with  hard  service,  in 
mortar  and  in  brick,  and  in  all  manner  of  service  in 
the  field,  all  their  service,  wherein  they  made  them 
serve  with  rigour. 

15  And  the  king  of  E'gypt  spake  to  the  He'brew  mid- 
wives,  of  which  the  name  of  the  one  was  Shiph'rah, 

16  and  the  name  of  the  other  Pu'ah  :  and  he  said,  When 
ye  do  the  office  of  a  midwife  to  the  He'brew  women, 
and  see  them  upon  the  birthstool ;  if  it  be  a  son, 
then  ye  shall  kill  him ;  but  if  it  be  a  daughter,  then 

17  she  shall  live.  But  the  midwives  feared  God,  and 
did  not  as  the  king  of  E'gypt  commanded  them,  but 

18  saved  the  men  children  alive.  And  the  king  of 
E'gypt  called  for  the  midwives,  and  said  unto  them, 
Why  have  ye  done  this  thing,  and  have  saved  the 

19  men  children  alive  ?  And  the  midwives  said  unto 
Pha'raoh,  Because  the  He'brew  women  are  not  as  the 
E-gyp'tian  women ;  for  they  are  lively,  and  are  de- 

20  livered  ere  the  midwife  come  unto  them.  And  God 
dealt  well  with  the  midwives  :  and  the  people  multi- 

21  plied,  and  waxed  very  mighty.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
because  the  midwives  feared  God,  that  he  made  them 

22  houses.  And  Pha'raoh  charged  all  his  people,  saying, 
Every  son  that  is  born  ye  shall  cast  into  ^he  river, 
and  every  daughter  ye  shall  save  alive.

Moses  is  born — Jiie  stayettt  an  Egyptian — Marrieth  Zipporah, 

AND  there  went  a  "man  of  the  house  of  Le'^vi,  and  took 
to  wife  a  daughter  of  Le'vi. 

2  And  the  woman  conceived  and  bare  a  son :  and  'when 
she  saw  him  that  he  was  a  goodly  child,  she  hid  him  three 
months. 

3  And  when  she  could  not  longer  hide  him,  she  took  for 
him  an  ark  of  bulrushes,  and  daubed  it  with  slime  and  with 
pitch,  and  put  the  child  therein ;  and  she  laid  U  in  the  flags 
by  the  river's  brink. 

4  ''And  his  sister  stood  afar  off,  to  wit  what  would  be  done 
to  him. 

5  ^And  the  ''daughter  of  Pha'raoh  came  down  to  wash 
herself  at  the  river;  and  her  maidens  walked  along  by  the 
river's  ride :  and  when  she  saw  the  ark  among  the  flags,  she 
sent  her  maid  to  fetch  it. 

6  And  when  she  had  opened  it,  she  saw  the  child :  and, 
behold,  the  babe  wept.  And  she  had  compassion  on  him, 
and  said,  This  is  one  of  the  He'brews'  children. 

7  Then  said  his  sister  to  Pha'raoh's  daughter.  Shall  I  go 
and  call  to  thee  a  nurse  of  the  He'brew  women,  that  she  may 
nurse  the  child  for  thee? 

8  And  Pha'raoh's  daughter  said  to  her.  Go.  And  the  maid 
went  and  called  the  child's  mother. 

9  And  Pha'raoh's  daughter  said  unto  her.  Take  this  child 
away,  and  nurse  it  for  me,  and  I  will  give  thee  thy  wages. 
And  the  woman  took  the  child,  and  nursed  it. 

10  And  the  child  grew,  and  she  brought  him  unto  Pha'raoh's 
daughter,  and  he  became  'her  son.  And  she  called  his  name 
II  Mo'ses :  and  she  said.  Because  I  drew  him  out  of  the  water. 

11  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  •''when  Mo'ses  was 
grown,  that  he  went  out  unto  his  brethren,  and  looked  on 
their  "burdens :  and  he  spied  an  E-gyp'tian  smiting  a  He'brew, 
one  of  his  brethren. 

12  And  he  looked  this  way  and  that  way,  and  when  he 
saw  that  there  was  no  man,  he  *slew  the  E-gyp'tian,  and  hid 
him  in  the  sand. 

13  And  'when  he  went  out  the  second  day,  behold,  two 
men  of  the  He'brews  strove  together :  and  he  said  to  him 
that  did  the  wrong.  Wherefore  smitest  thou  thy  fellow  ? 

14  And  he  said,  *Who  made  thee  f^  prince  and  a  judge 
over  us?  intendest  thou  to  kill  me,  as  thou  killedst  the 
E-gyp'tian  ?  And  Mo'ses  feared,  and  said,  Surely  this  thing 
is  known. 

15  Now  when  Pha'raoh  heard  this  thing,  he  sought  to  slay 
Mo'ses.  But  TVEo'ses  fled  from  the  face  of  Pha'raoh,  and 
dwelt  in  the  land  of  Mid'i-an :  and  he  sat  down  by  ™a  well. 

16  "Now  the  II  priest  of  Mid'i-an  had  seven  daughters :  "and 
they  came  and  drew  water,  and  filled  the  troughs  to  water 
their  father's  flock. 

17  And  the  shepherds  came  and  drove  them  away:  but 
Mo'ses  stood  up  and  helped  them,  and  "watered  their  flock. 

18  And  when  they  came  to  "Reu'el  their  father,  he  said. 
How  is  it  that  ye  are  come  so  soon  to-day? 

19  And  they  said.  An  E-gyp'tian  delivered  us  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  shepherds,  and  also  drew  water  enough  for  us, 
and  watered  the  flock. 

20  And  he  said  unto  his  daughters,  And  where  is  he?  why 
is  it  that  ye  have  left  the  man?  call  him,  that  he  may  'eat 
bread. 

21  And  Mo'ses  was  content  to  dwell  with  the  man  :  and 
he  gave  Mo'ses  'Zip-po'rah  his  daughter. 

22  And  she  bare  him  a  son,  and  he  called  his  name  ||'Ger'- 
shom :  for  he  said,  I  have  been  "a  stranger  in  a  strange  land. 

23  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  'in  process  of  time,  that  the  king 
of  E'gypt  died :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  "sighed  by  reason 
of  the  bondage,  and  they  cried,  and  "their  cry  came  up  unto 
God  by  reason  of  the  bondage. 


«    And  there  went  a  man  of  the  house  of  Le'vi,  and 

2  took  to  wife  a  daughter  of  Le'vi.  And  the  woman 
conceived,  and  bare  a  son  :  and  when  she  saw  him 
that  he  was  a    goodly    child,  she   hid    him   three 

3  months.  And  when  she  could  not  longer  hide  him, 
she  took  for  him  an  ark  of  'bulrushes,  and  daubed 
it  with  ^slime  and  with  pitch ;  and  she  put  the  child 
therein,  and  laid  it  in  the  fl^s  by  the  river's  brink. 

4  And  his  sister  stood  afar  off",  to  know  what  would 

5  be  done  to  him.  And  the  daughter  of  Pha'raoh 
came  down  to  bathe  at  the  river;  and  her  maidens 
walked  along  by  the  river  side ;  and  she  saw  the 
ark  among  the  flags,  and  sent  her  handmaid  to  fetch 

6  it.  And  she  opened  it,  and  saw  the  child :  and,  be- 
hold, the  babe  wept.  And  she  had  compassion  on 
him,  and  said.  This  is  one  of  the  He'brews'  children. 

7  Then  said  his  sister  to  Pha'raoh's  daughter.  Shall  I 
go  and  call  thee  a  nurse  of  the  He'brew  women,  that 

8  she  may  nurse  the  child  for  thee  ?  And  Pha'raoh's 
daughter  said  to  her.  Go.     And  the  maid  went  and 

9  called  the  child's  mother.  And  Pha'raoh's  daughter 
said  unto  her.  Take  this  child  away,  and  nurse  it  for 
me,  and  I  will  give  thee  thy  wages.     And  the  woman 

10  took  the  child,  and  nursed  it.  And  the  child  grew, 
and  she  brought  him  unto  Pha'raoh's  daughter,  and 
he  became  her  son.  And  she  called  his  name  'Mo'ses, 
and  said.  Because  I  *drew  him  out  of  the  water. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  when  Mo'ses 
was  grown  up,  that  he  went  out  unto  his  brethren, 
and  looked  on  their  burdens :  and  he  saw  an  E-gyp'tian 

12  smiting  an  He'brew,  one  of  his  brethren.  And  he 
looked  this  way  and  that  way,  and  when  he  saw  that 
there  was  no  man,  he  smote  the  E-gyp'tian,  and  hid 

13  him  in  the  sand.  And  he  went  out  the  second  day, 
and,  behold,  two  men  of  the  He'brews  strove  to- 
gether: and  he  said  to  him  that  did  the  wrong, 

14 Wherefore  smitest  thou  thy  fellow?  And  he  said. 
Who  made  thee  a  prince  and  a  judge  over  us? 
thinkest  thou  to  kill  me,  as  thou  killedst  the  E-gyp'- 
tian ?    And  Mo'ses  feared,  and  said,  Surely  the  thing 

15  is  known.  Now  when  Pha'raoh  heard  this  thing,  he 
sought  to  slay  Mo'ses.  But  Mo'ses  fled  from  the  face 
of  Pha'raoh,  and  dwelt  in  the  land  of  Mid'i-an :  and 

16  he  sat  down  by  a  well.  Now  the  priest  of  Mid'i-an 
had  seven  daughters :  and  they  came  and  drew  water 
and  filled  the  troughs  to  water  their  father's  flock. 

17  And  the  shepherds  came  and  drove  them  away  :  but 
Mo'ses  stood  up  and  helped  them,  and  watered  their 

18  flock.  And  when  they  came  to  Reu'el  their  father, 
he  said.  How  is  it  that  ye  are  come  so  soon  to-day  ? 

19  And  they  said.  An  E-gyp'tian  delivered  us  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  shepherds,  and  moreover  he  drew  water 

20  for  us,  and  watered  the  flock.  And  he  said  unto  his 
daughters.  And  where  is  he  ?  why  is  it  that  ye  have 

21  left  the  man  ?  call  him,  that  he  may  eat  bread.  And 
Mo'ses  was  content  to  dwell  with  the  man  :  and  he 

22  gave  Mo'ses  Zip-po'rah  his  daughter.  And  she  bare 
a  son,  and  he  called  his  name  Ger'shom :  for  he  said, 
I  have  been  'a  sojourner  in  a  strange  land. 

23  And  it  came  topass  in  the  course  of  those  many  days, 
that  the  king  of  E'gypt  died :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra- 
el  sighed  by  reason  of  the  bondage,  and  they  cried,  and 
their  cry  came  up  unto  God  by  reason  of  the  bondage.

24  And  God  "heard  their  groaaing,  and  God  'remembered 
his  "covenant  with  A'bra-ham,  with  I'saac,  and  with  Ja'cob. 

25  And  God  ''looked  upon  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  God 
t'had  respect  unto  them. 

CHAPTER  III. 

God  appeareth  to  Moses  in  a  burning  bush— His  message  to  Israel. 

"VrOW  Mo'ses  kept  the  flock  of  Je'thro  his  father  in  law, 
l-^  "the  priest  of  Mid'i-an :  and  he  led  the  flock  to  the  back 
side  of  the  desert,  and  came  to  ""the  mountain  of  God,  even 
to  Ho'reb. 

2  And  ''the  Angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  a 
flame  of  fire  out  of  the  midst  of  a  bush  :  and  he  looked,  and, 
behold,  the  bush  burned  with  fire,  and  the  bush  was  not 
consumed. 

3  And  Mo'ses  said,  I  will  now  turn  aside,  and  see  this 
''great  sight,  why  the  bush  is  not  burnt. 

4  And  when  the  LoED  saw  that  he  turned  aside  to  see, 
God  called  *unto  him  out  of  the  midst  of  the  bush,  and  said, 
Mo'ses,  Mo'ses.     And  he  said.  Here  am  I. 

5  And  he  said.  Draw  not  nigh  hither :  ■'^put  off  thy  shoes 
from  off  thy  feet;  for  the  place  whereon  thou  standest  is 
holy  ground. 

6  Moreover  he  said,  'I  am  the  God  of  thy  father,  the  God 
of  A'bra-ham,  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob.  And 
Mo'ses  hid  his  face ;  for  ''he  was  afraid  to  look  upon  God. 

7  ^And  the  Lord  said,  I  have  surely  seen  the  afiliction  of 
my  people  which  are  in  E'gypt,  and  'have  heard  their  cry 
'by  reason  of  their  taskmasters ;  for  'I  know  their  sorrows : 

8  And  ™I  am  come  down  to  "deliver  them  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  E-gyp' tians,  and  to  bring  them  up  out  of  that  land 
"unto  a  good  land  and  a  large,  unto  a  land  ""flowing  with 
milk  and  honey;  unto  the  place  of 'the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the 
Hit'tites,  and  the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  Per'iz-zites,  and  the 
Hi'vites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites. 

9  Now  therefore,  behold,  ''the  cry  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
is  come  unto  me :  and  I  have  also  seen  the  'oppression  where- 
with the  E-gyp' tians  oppress  them. 

10  'Come  now  therefore,  and  I  will  send  thee  unto  Pha'raoh, 
that  thou  mayest  bring  forth  my  people  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt. 

11  ^And  Mo'ses  said  unto  God," Who  am  I,  that  I  should 
go  unto  Pha'raoh,  and  that  I  should  bring  forth  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt  ? 

12  And  he  said,  "^Certainly  I  will  be  with  thee;  and  this 
shall  be  a  token  unto  thee,  that  I  have  sent  thee:  When 
thou  hast  brought  forth  the  people  out  of  E'gypt,  ye  shall 
serve  God  upon  this  mountain. 

13  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  God,  Behold,  when  I  come  unto 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  shall  say  unto  them.  The  God  of 
your  fathers  hath  sent  me  unto  you ;  and  they  shall  say  to 
me,  What  is  his  name?  what  shall  I  say  unto  them? 

14  And  God  said  unto  Mo'ses,  I  AM  THAT  I  AM :  And 
he  said.  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "I 
AM  hath  sent  me  unto  you. 

15  And  God  said  moreover  unto  Mo'ses,  Thus  shalt  thou 
say  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  The  Lord  God  of  your 
fathers,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the  God 
of  Ja'cob  hath  sent  me  unto  you :  this  is  'my  name  for  ever, 
and  this  is  my  memorial  unto  all  generations. 

16  Go,  and  "gather  the  elders  of  Is'rael  together,  and  say 
unto  them.  The  Lord  God  of  your  fathers,  the  God  of 
A'bra-ham,  of  I'saac,  and  of  Ja'cob,  appeared  unto  me,  say- 
ing, ''I  have  surely  visited  you,  and  seen  that  which  is  done 
to  you  in  E'gypt: 

17  And  I  have  said,  °I  will  bring  you  up  out  of  the  afflic- 
tion of  E'gypt  unto  the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Hit'- 
tites,and  the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  Per'iz-zites,  and  the  Hi'vites, 
and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  unto  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey. 

18  And  ''they  shall  hearken  to  thy  voice :  and  'thou  shalt 


24  And  God  heard  ttieir  groaning,  and  God  remem- 
bered his  covenant  with  A'bra-ham,  with  I'saac,  and 

25  with  Ja'cob.  And  God  saw  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  God  took  knowledge  of  them. 

V  Now  Mo'ses  was  keeping  the  flock  of  Je'thro  his 
father  in  law,  the  priest  of  Mid'i-an :  and  he  led  the 
flock  to  the  back  of  the  wilderness,  and  came  to  the 

2  mountain  of  God,  unto  Ho'reb.  And  the  angel  of 
the  LoRi/  appeared  unto  him  in  a  flame  oi"  fire  out 
of  the  midst  of  a  bush :  and  he  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  bush  burned  with  fire,  and  the  bush   was  not 

8  'consumed.  And  Mo'ses  said,  I  will  turn  aside  now, 
and  see  this  great  sight,  why  the  bush  is  not  burnt. 

4  And  when  the  Lord  saw  that  he  turned  aside  to  see, 
God  called  unto  him  out  of  the  midst  of  the  bush, 
and  said,  Mo'ses,  Mo'ses.     And  he  said.  Here  am  I. 

5 And  he  said.  Draw  not  nigh  hither:  put  off  thy 
shoes  from  off  thy  feet,  for  the  place  whereon  thou 

6  standest  is  holy  ground.  Moreover  he  said,  I  am 
the  God  of  thy  father,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  the 
God  of  I'saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob.  And  Mo'ses 
hid  his  face;    for  he  was  afraid  to  look  upon  God. 

7  And  the  Lord  said,  I  have  surely  seen  the  affliction 
of  my  people  which  are  in  E'gypt,  and  have  heard 
thefr  cry  by  reason  of  their  taskmasters;  for  I  know 

8  their  sorrows ;  and  I  am  come  down  to  deliver  them 
out  of  the  hand  of  t':-^  E-gyp' tians,  and  to  bring  them 
up  out  of  that  land  unto  a  good  land  and  a  large, 
unto  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey ;  unto  the 
place  of  the  Ca'naan-ite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the 
Am'o-rite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite,and  the  Hi'vite,and  the 

9  Jeb'u-site.  And  now,  behold,  the  cry  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  is  come  unto  me:  moreover  I  have  seen 
the  oppression  wherewith  the   E-gyp'tians   oppress 

lOthem.  Come  now  therefore,  and  I  will  send  thee 
unto  Pha'raoh,  that   thou   mayest   bring   forth   my 

11  people  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt.  And 
Mo'ses  said  unto  God,  Who  am  I  that  I  should  go 
unto    Pha'raoh,  and  that  I  should  bring  forth  the 

12 children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt?  And  he  said, 
Certainly  I  will  be  with  thee ;  and  this  shall  be  the 
token  unto  thee,  that  I  have  sent  thee:  when  thou 
hast  brought  forth   the   people   out  of  E'gypt,  ye 

13  shall  serve  God  upon  this  mountain.  And  Mo'ses 
said  unto  God,  Behold,  when  I  come  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  and  shall  say  unto  them.  The  God 
of  your  fathers  hath  sent  me  unto  you ;  and  they 
shall  say  to  me.    What  is  his  name?  what  shall  I 

14  say  unto  them  ?  And  God  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'i  am 
THAT  I  AM  :  and  he  said.  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  ^i  am  hath  sent  me  unto  you. 

15  And  God  said  moreover  unto  Mo'ses,  Thus  shalt 
thou  say  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  ^The  Lord,  the 
God  of  your  fathers,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  the  God 
of  I'saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob,  hath  sent  me  unto 
you:  this  is  my  name  for  ever,  and  this  is  my  me- 

16morial  unto  all  generations.  Go,  and  gather  the 
elders  of  Is'rael  together,  and  say  unto  them.  The 
Lord,  the  God  of  your  fathers,  the  God  of  A'bra- 
ham,  of  I'saac,  and  of  Ja'cob,  hath  appeared  unto 
me,  saying,  I  have  surely  visited  you,  and  seen  that 

17  which  is  done  to  you  in  E'gypt :  and  I  have  said,  I 
will  bring  you  up  out  of  the  affliction  of  E'gypt  unto 
the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the 
Am'o-rite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Hi'vite,  and  the 
Jeb'u-site,  unto  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey. 

18  And  they  shall  hearken  to  thy  voice :  and  thou  shalt

come,  thou  and  the  elders  of  I'sra-el,  unto  the  king  of  E'gypt, 
and  ye  shall  say  unto  him,  The  Lokd  God  of  the  He'brews 
hath  -^met  with  us :  and  now  let  us  go,  we  beseech  thee, 
three  days'  journey  into  the  wilderness,  that  we  may  sacrifice 
to  the  Lord  our  God. 

19  ^And  I  am  sure  that  the  king  of  E'gypt  'will  not  let 
you  go,  II  no,  not  by  a  mighty  hand. 

20  And  I  will  *stretch  out  my  hand,  and  smite  E'gypt  with 
*all  my  wonders  which  I  will  do  in  the  midst  thereof:  and 
*after  that  he  will  let  you  go. 

21  And  'I  will  give  this  people  favour  in  the  sight  of  the 
E-gyp'tians :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that,  when  ye  go,  ye 
shall  not  go  empty  : 

22  "But  every  woman  shall  borrow  of  her  neighbour,  and 
of  her  that  sojourneth  in  her  house,  jewels  of  silver,  and 
jewels  of  gold,  and  raiment :  and  ye  shall  put  them  upon 
your  sons,  and  upon  your  daughters ;  and  "ye  shall  spoil 
II  the  E-gyp'tians. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

Moses*  rod  is  turned  into  a  serpent—God^ s  message  to  Pharaoh. 

AND  Mo'ses  answered  and  said.  But,  behold,  they  will 
not  believe  me,  nor  hearken  unto  my  voice  :  for  they  will 
say.  The  Lord  hath  not  appeared  unto  thee. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  What  is  that  in  thine  hand  ? 
And  he  said,  "A  rod. 

3  And  he  said,  Cast  it  on  the  ground.  And  he  cast  it  on  the 
ground,and  it  became  a  serpent ;  and  Mo'ses  fled  from  before  it. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Put  forth  thine  hand, 
and  take  it  by  the  tail.  And  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and 
caught  it,  and  it  became  a  rod  in  his  hand : 

5  That  they  may  'believe  that  the  "Lord  God  of  their 
fathers,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the 
God  of  Ja'cob,  hath  appeared  unto  thee. 

6  ^And  the  Lord  said  furthermore  unto  him.  Put  now  thine 
hand  into  thy  bosom.  And  he  put  his  hand  into  his  bosom :  and 
when  he  took  it  out,  behold,  his  hand  was  leprous  ''as  snow. 

7  And  he  said.  Put  thine  hand  into  thy  bosom  again.  And 
he  put  his  hand  into  his  bosom  again ;  and  plucked  it  out  of 
his  bosom,  and,  behold,*it  was  turned  again  as  his  other  flesh. 

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  they  will  not  believe  thee, 
neither  hearken  to  the  voice  of  the  first  sign,  that  they  will 
believe  the  voice  of  the  latter  sign. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  they  will  not  believe  also 
these  two  signs,  neither  hearken  unto  thy  voice,  that  thou 
shalt  take  of  the  water  of  the  river,  and  pour  it  upon  the  dry 
land:  and  •''the  water  which  thou  takest  out  of  the  river 
fshall  become  blood  upon  the  dry  land. 

10  "[[And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  O  my  Lord,  I  am  not 
feloquent,  neither  theretofore,  nor  since  thou  hast  spoken  un- 
to thy  servant ;  but  "I  am  slow  of  speech,  and  of  a  slow  tongue. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  ''Who  hath  made  man's 
mouth,  or  who  maketh  the  dumb,  or  deaf,  or  the  seeing, 
or  the  blind?  have  not  I  the  Lord? 

12  Now  therefore  go,  and  I  will  be  *with  thy  mouth,  and 
teach  thee  what  thou  shalt  say. 

13  And  he  said,  O  my  Lord,  *send,  I  pray  thee,  by  the  hand 
of  him  whom  thou  ||  wilt  send. 

14  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Mo'ses, 
and  he  said,/8  not  Aa'ron  the  Le' vite  thy  brother  ?  I  know  that 
he  can  speak  well.  And  also,  behold,  'he  cometh  forth  to 
meet  thee :  and  when  he  seeth  thee,  he  will  be  glad  in  his  heart. 

16  And  "thou  shalt  speak  unto  him,  and  "put  words  in  his 
mouth:  and  I  will  be  with  thy  mouth,  and  with  his  mouth, 
and  "will  teach  you  what  ye  shall  do. 

16  And  he  shall  be  thy  spokesman  unto  the  people  :  and  he 
shall  be,  even  he  shall  be  to  thee  instead  of  a  mouth,  and 
"thou  shalt  be  to  him  instead  of  God. 

17  And  thou  shalt  take  'this  rod  in  thine  hand,  wherewith 
thou  shalt  do  signs. 


4 


come,  thou  and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  the  king 
of  E'gypt,  and  ye  shall  say  unto  him.  The  Lord, 
the  God  of  the  He'brews,  hath  met  with  us :  and 
now  let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  three  days'  journey 
into  the  wilderness,  that  we   may   sacrifice   to  the 

19  Lord  our  God.  And  I  know  that  the  king  of 
E'gypt  will  not  give  you  leave  to  go,  no,  not  by  a 

20  mighty  hand.  And  I  will  put  forth  my  hand,  and 
smite  E'gypt  with  all  my  wonders  which  I  will  do 
in  the  midst  thereof:  and  after  that  he  will  let  you 

21  go.  And  I  will  give  this  people  favour  in  the  sight 
of  the  E-gyp'tians :    and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that, 

22 when  ye  go,  ye  shall  not  go  empty:  but  every 
woman  shall  ask  of  her  neighbour,  and  of  her 
that  sojourneth  in  her  house,  jewels  of  silver,  and 
jewels  of  gold,  and  raiment :  and  ye  shall  put  them 
upon  your  sons,  and  upon  your  daughters ;  and  ye 
shall  spoil  the  E-gyp'tians.  And  Mo'ses  answered 
and  said.  But,  behold,  they  will  not  believe  me,  nor 
hearken  unto  my  voice :  for  they  will  say.  The  Lord 

2  hath  not  appeared  unto  thee.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  him.  What  is   that  in  thine   hand?     And   he 

3  said,  A  rod.  And  he  said,  Cast  it  on  the  ground. 
And  he  cast  it  on  the  ground,  and  it  became  a  'ser- 

4  pent ;  and  Mo'ses  fled  from  before  it.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Mo'ses,  Put  forth  thine  hand,  and  take  it 
by  the  tail :  (and  he   put  forth  his  hand,  and   laid 

5  hold  of  it,  and  it  became  a  rod  in  his  hand :)  that 
they  may  believe  that  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their 
fathers,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  the  God  of  I'saac,  and 

6  the  God  of  Ja'cob,  hath  appeared  unto  thee.  And 
the  Lord  said  furthermore  unto  him.  Put  now  thine 
hand  into  thy  bosom.  And  he  put  his  hand  into 
his  bosom :  and  when  he  took   it  out,  behold,  his 

7  hand  was  leprous,  as  white  as  snow.  And  he  said. 
Put  thine  hand  into  thy  bosom  again.  (And  he  put 
his  hand  into  his  bosom  again ;  and  when  he  took 
it  out  of  his  bosom,  behold,  it  was  turned  again  as 

8  his  other  flesh.)  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  they 
will  not  believe  thee,  neither  hearken  to  the  voice  of 
the  first  sign,  that  they  will  believe  the  voice  of  the 

9  latter  sign.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  they  will 
not  believe  even  these  two  signs,  neither  hearken 
unto  thy  voice,  that  thou  shalt  take  of  the  water  of 
the  river,  and  pour  it  upon  the  dry  land :  and  the 
water  which  thou  takest  out  of  the  river  shall  be- 

10  come  blood  upon  the  dry  land.  And  Mo'ses  said 
unto  the  Lord,  Oh  Lord,  I  am  not  ^eloquent,  neither 
heretofore,  nor  since  thou  hast  spoken  unto  thy  serv- 
ant :  for  I  am  slow  of  speech,  and  of  a  slow  tongue. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Who  hath  made  man's 
mouth  ?  or  who  maketh  a  man  dumb,  or  deaf,  or 

12  seeing,  or  blind  ?  is  it  not  I  the  Lord  ?  Now  there- 
fore go,  and  I  will   be   with  thy  mouth,  and  teach 

13  thee  what  thou  shalt  speak.  And  he  said,  Oh  Lord, 
send,  I  pray  thee,  by  the  hand  of  him  whom  thou 

14  wilt  send.  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled 
against  Mo'ses,  and  he  said.  Is  there  not  Aa'ron  thy 
brother  the  Le'vite?  I  know  that  he  can  speak 
well.  And  also,  behold,  he  cometh  forth  to  meet 
thee :  and  when  he  seeth  thee,  he  will  be  glad  in  his 

15  heart.  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  him,  and  put  the 
words  in  his  mouth  :  and  I  will  be  with  thy  mouth, 
and  with    his   mouth,  and  will   teach  you   what  ye 

16  shall  do.  And  he  shall  be  thy  spokesman  unto  the 
people :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  he  shall  be 
to  thee  a  mouth,  and  thou  shalt  be  to  him  as  God. 

17  And  thou  shalt  take  In  thine  hand  this  rod,  where- 
with thou  shalt  do  the  signs.

18  ^And  Mo'ses  went  and  returned  to  f  Je'thro  his  father 
in  law,  and  said  unto  him,  Let  me  go,  I  pray  thee,  and  re- 
turn unto  my  brethren  which  are  in  E'gypt,  and  see  whether 
they  be  yet  alive.     And  Je'thro  said  to  Mo'ses,  Go  in  peace. 

19  And  the  Loed  said  unto  Mo'ses  in  Mid'i-an,  Go,  return 
into. E'gypt:  for  'all  the  men  are  dead  which  sought  thy  life. 

20  And  Mo'ses  took  his  wife,  and  his  sons,  and  set  them 
upon  an  ass,  and  he  returned  to  the  land  of  E'gypt :  and 
Mo'ses  took  'the  rod  of  God  in  his  hand. 

21  *f[And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  When  thou  goest  to 
return  into  E'gypt,  see  that  thou  do  all  those  'wonders  be- 
fore Pha'raoh,  which  I  have  put  in  thine  hand :  but  "I  will 
harden  his  heart  that  he  shall  not  let  the  people  go. 

22  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  Pha'raoh,  Thus  saith  the 
Loed,  ''Is'ra-el  is  my  son,  "even  my  firstborn : 

23  And  I  say  unto  thee.  Let  my  son  go,  that  he  may 
serve  me :  and  if  thou  refuse  to  let  him  go,  behold,  ^I  will 
slay  thy  son,  even  thy  firstborn. 

24  ^And  it  came  to  pass  by  the  way  in  the  inn,  that  the 
Loed  "met  him,  and  sought  to  ""kill  him. 

25  Then  Zip-po'rah  took  "a  sharp  ||  stone,  and  cut  off  the 
foreskin  of  her  son,  and  feast  it  at  his  feet,  and  said.  Surely 
a  bloody  husband  art  thou  to  me. 

26  So  he  let  him  go:  then  she  said,  A  bloody  husband 
thou  art,  because  of  the  circumcision. 

27  ^And  the  Lord  said  to  Aa'ron,  Go  into  the  wilderness 
''to  meet  Mo'ses.  And  he  went,  and  met  him  in  the  mount 
of  God,  and  kissed  him. 

28  And  Mo'ses -told  Aa'ron  all  the  words  of  the  Lord  who 
had  sent  him,  and  all  the  "signs  which  he  had  commanded  him. 

29  IJAnd  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  'went,  and  gathered  together 
all  the  elders  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 

30  And  Aa'ron  spake  all  the  words  which  the  Lord  had 
spoken  unto  Mo'ses,  and  did  the  signs  in  the  sight  of  the 
people. 

31  And  the  people  ^believed:  and  when  they  heard  that 
the  Lord  had  'visited  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,and  that  he  "had 
looked  upon  their  affliction,  then  "they  bowed  their  heads 
and  worshipped. 

CHAPTER  V. 

Pharaoh  chideih  Moses  and  Aaron— He  increaseth  the  Israelites^  task. 

AND  afterward  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  in,  and  told  Pha'- 
raoh, Thus  saith  the  Loed  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Let  my  people 
go,  that  they  may  hold  "a  feast  unto  me  in  the  wilderness. 

2  And  Pha'raoh  said,  ''Who  is  the  Lord,  that  I  should 
obey  Kis  voice  to  let  Is'ra-el  go?  I  know  not  the  Lord, 
"neither  will  I  let  Is'ra-el  go. 

3  And  they  said,  ''The  God  of  the  He'brews  hath  met  with 
us:  let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  three  days'  journey  into  the 
desert,  and  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  our  God;  lest  he  fall 
upon  us  with  pestilence,  or  with  the  sword. 

4  And  the  king  of  E'gypt  said  unto  them.  Wherefore  do 
ye,  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  let  the  people  from  their  works?  get 
you  unto  your  'burdens. 

5  And  Pha'raoh  said,  Behold,  the  people  of  the  land  now 
are  ■''many,  and  ye  make  them  rest  from  their  burdens. 

6  And  Pha'raoh  commanded  the  same  day  the  "taskmasters 
of  the  people,  and  their  officers,  saying, 

7  Ye  shall  no  more  give  the  people  straw  to  make  brick, 
as  heretofore  :  let  them  go  and  gather  straw  for  themselves. 

8  And  the  tale  of  the  bricks,  which  they  did  make  hereto- 
fore, ye  shall  lay  upon  them ;  ye  shall  not  diminish  aught 
thereof:  for  they  be  idle ;  therefore  they  cry,  saying.  Let  us 
go  and  sacrifice  to  our  God. 

9  tLet  there  more  work  be  laid  upon  the  men,  that  they 
may  labour  therein ;  and  let  them  not  regard  vain  words. 

10  ^And  the  taskmasters  of  the  people  went  out,  and 
their  officers,  and  they  spake  to  the  people,  saying.  Thus 
saith  Pha'raoh,  I  will  not  give  you  straw. 


18  And  Mo'ses  went  and  returned  to  'Je'thro  his 
father  in  law,  and  said  unto  him.  Let  me  go,  I  pray 
thee,  and  return  unto  my  brethren  which  are  in 
E'gypt,  and   see  whether  they  be  vet  alive.     And 

19  Je'thro  said  to  Mo'ses,  Go  in  peace.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Mo'ses  in  Mid'i-an,  Go,  return  into  E'gypt : 
for  all  the   men   are  dead    which  sought   thy   life. 

20  And  Mo'ses  took  his  wife  and  his  sons,  and  set 
them  upon  an  ass,  and  he  returned  to  the  land  of 
E'gypt :  and  Mo'ses  took  the  rod  of  God  in  his  hand. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  When  thou  goest 
back  into  E'gypt,  see  that  thou  do  before  Pha'raoh  all 
the  wonders  which  I  have  put  in  thine  hand :  but  I 
will  ^harden  his  heart,  and  he  will  not  let  the  people 

22  go.     And  thou  shalt  say  unto  Pha'raoh,  Thus  saith 

23  the  Lord,  Is'ra-el  is  my  son,  my  firstborn :  and  I  have 
said  unto  thee.  Let  my  son  go,  that  he  may  serve 
me ;  and  thou  hast  refused  to  let  him  go :  behold,  I 

24  will  slay  thy  son,  thy  firstborn.  And  it  came  to 
pass  on  the  way  at  the  lodging  place,  that  the  Lord 

25  met  him,  and  sought  to  kill  him.  'Then  Zip-po'rah 
took  a  flint,  and  cut  off  the  foreskin  of  her  son,  and 
^cast  it  at  his  feet ;  and  she  said.  Surely  a  bridegroom 

26  of  blood  art  thou  to  me.  So  he  let  him  alone.  Then 
she  said,  *A  bridegroom  of  blood  art  thou,  because  of 
the  circumcision. 

27  And  the  Lord  said  to  Aa'ron,  Go  into  the  wilder- 
ness to  meet  Mo'ses.     And  he  went,  and  met  him  in 

28  the  mountain  of  God,  and  kissed  him.  And  Mo'ses 
told  Aa'ron  all  the  words  of  the  Lord  wherewith  he 
had  sent  him,  and  all  the   signs  wherewith  he  had 

29  charged  him.  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  and 
gathered  together  all  the  elders  of  the  children  of 

30  Is'ra-el :  and  Aa'ron  spake  all  the  words  which  the 
Lord  had  spoken  unto  Mo'ses,  and  did  the  signs  in 

31  the  sight  of  the  people.     And  the  people  believed 
and  when  they  heard  that  the  Lord  had  visited  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  that  he  had  seen  their  afflic- 

K  tion,  then  they  bowed  their  heads  and  worshipped. 

V  And  afterward  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  came,  and  said 
unto  Pha'raoh,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Let  my  people  go,  that  they   may   hold  a 

2  feast  unto  me  in  the  wilderness.  And  Pha'raoh 
said.  Who  is  the  Lord,  that  I  should  hearken  unto 
his  voice  to  let  Is'ra-el  go?     I  know  not  the  Lord, 

Sand  moreover  I  will  not  let  Is'ra-el  go.  And  they 
said.  The  God  of  the  He'brews  hath  met  with  us: 
let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  three  days'  journey  into  the 
wilderness,  and  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  our  God; 
lest   he  fall   upon    us  with   pestilence,  or  with  the 

4  sword.  And  the  king  of  E'gypt  said  unto  them. 
Wherefore  do    ye,    Mo'ses    and    Aa'ron,    loose  the 

•  people    from    their    works?    get    you     unto    your 

5  burdens.  And  Pha'raoh  said.  Behold,  the  people 
of  the    land    are    now    many,  and    ye    make  them 

6  rest  from  their  burdens.  And  the  same  day  Pha'- 
raoh commanded  the  taskmasters  of  the  people,  and 

7  their  officers,  saying.  Ye  shall  no  more  give  the 
people  straw  to  make  brick,  as  heretofore :  let  them 

8  go  and  gather  straw  for  themselves.  And  the  tale 
of  the  bricks,  which  they  did  make  heretofore,  ye 
shall  lay  upon  them;  ye  shall  not  diminish  aught 
thereof:  for  they  be  idle ;  therefore  they  cry,  saying, 

9  Let  us  go  and  sacrifice  to  our  God.  Let  heavier 
work  be  laid  upon  the  men,  that  they  may  la- 
bour therein;  and  let  them  not  regard  lying  words. 

10  And  the  taskmasters  of  the  people  went  out,  and 
their  officers,  and  they  spake  to  the  people,  say- 
ing. Thus  saith  Pha'raoh,  I  will  not  give  you  straw.

11  Go  ye,  get  you  straw  where  you  can  find  it:  yet  not 
aught  of  your  work  shall  be  diminished. 

12  So  the  people  were  scattered  abroad  throughout  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt  to  gather  stubble  instead  of  straw. 

13  And  the  taskmasters  hasted  them,  saying,  Fulfil  your 
works,  your  fdaily  tasks,  as  when  there  was  straw. 

14  And  the  oificers  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  Pha'- 
raoh's  taskmasters  had  set  o  v  er  them,  were  beaten,  and  de- 
manded. Wherefore  have  ye  not  fulfilled  your  task  in  mak- 
ing brick  both  yesterday  and  to-day,  as  heretofore? 

15  ^Then  the  officers  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  and 
cried  unto  Pha'raoh,  saying,  "Wherefore  dealest  thou  thus 
with  thy  servants? 

16  There  is  no  straw  given  unto  thy  servants,  and  they 
say  to  us.  Make  brick :  and,  behold,  thy  servants  are  beaten ; 
but  the  fault  is  in  thine  own  people. 

17  But  he  said.  Ye  are  idle,  ye  are  idle:  therefore  ye  say. 
Let  us  go  and  do  sacrifice  to  tho  Lord. 

18  Go  therefore  now,  and  work ;  for  there  shall  no  straw 
be  given  you,  yet  shall  ye  deliver  the  tale  of  bricks. 

19  And  the  officers  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  see  that 
they  were  in  evil  case,  after  it  was  said.  Ye  shall  not  minish 
aught  from  your  bricks  of  your  daily  task. 

20  ^And  they  met  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  who  stood  in  the 
way,  as  they  came  forth  from  Pha'raoh : 

21  *And  they  said  unto  them,  The  Lord  look  upon  you, 
and  judge;  because  ye  have  made  our  savour  fto  be  ab- 
horred in  the  eyes  of  Pha'raoh,  and  in  the  eyes  of  his  serv- 
ants, to  put  a  sword  in  their  hand  to  slay  us. 

22  And  Mo'ses  returned  unto  the  "  iORD,  and  said.  Lord, 
wherefore  hast  thou  so  evil  entreated  this  people  ?  why  is  it 
that  thou  hast  sent  me  ? 

23  For  since  I  camo  to  Pha'raoh  to  speak  in  thy  name,  he 
hath  done  evil  to  this  people :  fieither  hast  thou  delivered 
thy  people  at  all. 

CHAPTEn  VI. 

Cod  reneweth  his  promise  by  his  name  JEHOVAH. 

THEN  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,Now  shalt  thou  oce  v  hat  I 
will  do  to  Pha'raoh:  for  "with  a  strong  hand  shall  i  ■  kt  Ihem 
go,  and  with  a  strong  hand  'shall  he  drive  them  out  of  his  land. 

2  And  God  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  and  said  unto  him,  I  am 
II the  Lord: 

3  And  I  appeared  unto  A'bra-ham,  unto  I'saac,  3,nd  unto 
Ja'cob,  by  the  name  of  'God  Almighty;  but  by  my  name 
•'JEHOVAH  was  I  not  known  to  them. 

4  'And  I  have  also  established  my  covenant  with  then, 
■^to  give  them  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  the  land  jI  their  pilgrim- 
age, wherein  they  were  strangers. 

5  And  "I  have  also  hoard  the  groaning  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  whom  th  ^  E-gyp'tians  keep  in  bondage ;  and  I  have 
remembered  my  covenant. 

6  Wherefore  say  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  *I  am  the 
Lord,  and  'I  will  bring  you  out  from  under  the  burdens  of 
the  E-gyp'tians,  and  I  will  rid  you  out  of  their  bondage, 
and  I  will  ^redeem  you  with  a  stretched  out  arm,  and  with 
great  judgments : 

7  And  I  will  'take  you  to  me  for  a  people,  and  "I  will  be 
to  you  a  God :  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God,  which  bringeth  you  out  "from  under  the  burdens  of 
the  E-gyp'tians. 

8  And  I  will  bring  you  in  unto  the  land,  concerning  the 
which  I  did  fswear  to  give  it  to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to 
Ja'cob ;  and  I  will  give  it  you  for  a  heritage :  I  am  the  Lord. 

9  ^And  Mo'ses  spake  so  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  "but 
they  hearkened  not  unto  Mo'ses  for  fanguish  of  spirit,  and 
for  cruel  bondage. 

10  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

1 1  Go  in,  speak  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  that  he  let 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  go  out  of  his  land. 


11  Go  yourselves,  get  you  straw  where  ye  can  find 
it:  for  nought  of  your  work  shall  be  diminished. 

12  So  the  people  were  scattered  abroad  throughout  all 

13  the  land  of  E'gypt  to  gather  stubble  for  straw.  And 
the  taskmasters  were  urgent,  saying.  Fulfil  your 
works,  your  daily  tasks,  as  when  there  was  straw. 

14  And  the  officers  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
Pha'raoh's  taskmasters  had  set  over  them,  were 
beaten,  'and  demanded.  Wherefore  have  ye  not 
fulfilled  your  task  both   yesterday    and  to-day,   in 

15 making  brick  as  heretofore?  Then  the  officers  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  and  cried  unto  Pha'raoh, 
saying.  Wherefore  dealest  thou  thus  with  thy  serv- 

16 ants?  There  is  no  straw  given  unto  thy  servants, 
and  they  say  to  us,  Make  brick :  and,  behold,  thy 
servants  are  beaten ;  but  the   fault  is  in  thine  own 

17 people.  But  he  said,  Ye  are  idle,  ye  are  idle: 
therefore   ye   say.   Let   us  go  and   sacrifice   to  the 

18 Lord.  Go  therefore  now,  and  work;  for  there 
shall  no  straw   be  given  you,  yet  shall  ye  deliver 

19  the  tale  of  bricks.  And  the  officers  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  did  see  that  they  ^were  in  evil  case,  when 
it  was  said,  Ye  shall  not  minish  aught  from  your 

20  bricks,  your  daily  tasks.  And  they  met  Mo'ses  and 
Aa'ron,  who  stood  in  the    way,  as  they    came  forth 

21  from  Pha'raoh :  and  they  said  unto  them.  The  Lord 
look  upon  you,  and  judge;  because  ye  have  made 
our  savour  to  be  abhorred  in  the  eyes  of  Pha'raoh, 
and  in  the  eyes  of  his  servants,  to  put  a  sword  in 

22  their  hand  to  slay  us.  And  Mo'ses  r:!turned  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  Lord,  wherefore  hast  thou  evil 
entreated  this  people  ?  why  is  it  that  thou  hast  sent 

23  me  ?     For  since  I  came  to  Pha'raoh  to  speak  in  thy 

6 name,  be  hath  evil  entreated  this  people;  neither 
hast  thou  delivered  thy  people  at  all.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Now  shalt  thou  see  what 
I  will  do  to  Pha'raoh:  for  by  a  strong  hand,  shall 
he  let  them  go,  and  by  a  strong  hand  shall  he  drive 
them  out  of  his  land. 

2  And    God    spake    unto    Mo'ses,   and   said   unto 

3  him,  I  ari.  jeuovah  :  and  I  appeared  unto  A'bra- 
ham,  unto  I'saac,  and  unto  Ja'cob,  as  'God  Almighty, 
but  ^by  my   name  jehovah  I  was  not  'known  to 

4  them.  J^nd  I  have  also  established  my  covenant 
with  thcra,  to  jive  them  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  the 
land  of  their  sojournings,  wherein  they  sojourned 

5  Anti  moreover  I  have  heard  the  groaning  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  whom  the  E-gyp'tians  keep  in 
bondage ;    and  I  have    ramembered    my    covenant. 

6  AVherefore  say  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-e.,  I  am 
Jehovah,  and  I  will  bring  you  out  from  under  the 
burdens  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  I  will  rid  you  out 
of  their  bondage,  and   I  will   redeem   you   with    a 

7  stretched  out  arm,  and  with  great  judgements :  and 
I  will  take  you  to  me  for  a  people,  and  I  will  be  to 
you  a  God:  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  Jehovah 
your   God,   which    bringeth    you    out    from    under 

8  the  burdens  of  the  E-gyp'tians.  And  I  will  bring 
you  in  unto  the  land,  concerning  which  I  lifted  up 
my  hand  to  give  it  to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to 
Ja'cob ;  and  I  will  give  it  to  you  for  an  heritage :  I 

9  am  Jehovah.  And  Mo'ses  spake  so  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el :  but  they  hearkened  not  unto  Mo'ses 
for  'anguish  of  spirit,  and  for  cruel  bondage. 

1 0  And    the     Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

11  Go  in,  speak  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  that

12  And  Mo'ses  spake  before  the  Lord,  saying,  Behold,  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  have  'not  hearkened  unto  me  ;  how  then 
shall  Pha'raoh  hear  me,  'who  am  of  uncircumcised  lips  ? 

13  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron,  and 
gave  them  a  charge  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  unto 
Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  to  bring  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
out  of  the  laud  of  E'gypt. 

14  ^These  be  the  heads  of  their  fathers'  houses  :  'The  sons 
of  Reu'ben  the  firstborn  of  Is'ra-el ;  Ha'noch,  and  Pal'lu, 
Hez'ron,  and  Car'mi :  these  be  the  families  of  Reu'ben. 

15  'And  the  sons  of  Sim'e-on;  Jem'u-el,  and  Ja'min,  and 
O'had,  and  Ja'chin,  and  Zo'har,  and  Sha'ul  the  son  of  a 
Ca'naan-i-tish  woman  :  these  are  the  families  of  Sim'e-on. 

16  ^And  these  are  the  names  of  "the  sons  of  Le'vi  ac- 
cording to  their  generations ;  Ger'shon,  and  Ko'hath,  and 
Mer'a-ri :  and  the  years  of  the  life  of  Le'vi  were  a  hundred 
thirty  and  seven  years. 

17  "'The  sons  of  Ger'shon;  Lib'ni,  and  Shi'mi,  according 
to  their  families. 

18  And  "the  sons  of  Ko'hath ;  Am'ram,  and  Iz'har,  and 
He'bron,  and  Uz'zi-el :  and  the  years  of  the  life  of  Ko'hath 
were  a  hundred  thirty  and  three  years. 

19  And  'the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri;  Ma'ha-liand  Mu'shi :  these 
are  the  families  of  Le'vi,  according  to  their  generations. 

20  And  "Am'ram  took  him  Joch'e-bed  his  father's  sister  to 
wife;  and  she  bare  him  Aa'ron  and  Mos'es:  and  the  years  of 
the  life  of  Am'ram  were  a  hundred  and  thirty  and  seven  years. 

21  ^And  'the  sons  of  Iz'har ;  Ko'rah,  and  Ne'pheg,  and 
Zich'ri, 

22  And  the  "sons  of  Uz'zi-el ;  Mish'a-el,  and  El'za-phan, 
and  Zith'ri. 

23  And  Aa'ron  took  him  E-lish'e-ba,  daughter  of  ''Am- 
min'a-dab,  sister  of  Na-ash'on,  to  wife;  and  she  bare  him 
'Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu,  El-e-a'zar  and  Ith'a-mar. 

24  And  the  •''sons  of  Ko'ra':' ;  As'sir,  and  El'-ka-nah,  and 
A-bi'a-saph :  these  are  the  families  of  the  Kor'hites. 

25  And  El-e-a'zar  Aa'ron's  son  took  him  one  of  the  daugh- 
ters of  Pu'ti-el  to  wife ;  and  "she  bare  him  Phin'e-has :  these 
are  the  heads  of  the  fathers  of  the  Le'vites,  according  to 
their  families. 

26  These  are  that  Aa'ron  and  Mo'ses,  Ho  whom  the  Lord 
said,  Bring  out  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from  the  land  of 
E'gypt  according  to  their  'armies. 

27  These  are  they  which  'spake  to  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt, 
'to  bring  out  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from  E'gypt :  these  are 
that  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron. 

28  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  day  when  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Mo'ses  in  the  land  of  E'gypt, 

29  That  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  "I  am  the 
Lord  :  "speak  thou  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  all  that  I 
say  unto  thee. 

30  And  Mo'ses  said  before  the  Lord,  Behold,  "I  am  of  un- 
circumcised lips,  and  how  shall  Pha'raoh  hearken  unto  me  ? 

CHAPTER  VII. 

Moses^  rod  is  turned  into  a  serpent — The  river  is  turned  into  blood. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  See,  I  have  made  thee^agod 
to  Pha'raoh ;  and  Aa'ron  thy  brother  shall  beHhy  proph,;t. 

2  Thou  "shalt  speak  all  that  I  command  thee ;  and  Aa'ron 
thy  brother  shall  speak  unto  Pha'raoh,  that  he  send  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  his  land. 

3  And  ''I  will  harden  Pha'raoh's  heart,  and  'multiply  my 
•^signs  and  my  wonders  in  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

4  But  Pha'raoh  shall  not  hearken  unto  you,  "that  I  may 
lay  my  hand  upon  E'gypt,  and  bring  forth  mine  armies,  and 
my  people  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt 
''by  great  judgments. 

5  And  the  E-gyp'tians  'shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord, 
when  I  *stretch  forth  mine  hand  upon  E'gypt,  and  bring  out 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from  among  them. 


12  And  Mo'ses  spake  before  the  Lord,  saying.  Behold, 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  have  not  hearkened  unto  me ; 
how  then  shall  Pha'raoh  hear  me,  who  am  of  uncir 

13cumcised  lips?  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses 
and  unto  Aa'ron,  and  gave  them  a  charge  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt, 
to  bring  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

14  These  are  the  heads  of  their  fathers'  houses :  the 
sons  of  Reu'ben  the  firstborn  of  Is'ra-el ;  Ha'noch, 
and  Pal'lu,  Hez'ron,  and  Car'mi :  these  are  the  fami-

16  the  families  of  Sim'e-on.  And  these  are  the  names 
of  the  sons  of  Le'vi  according  to  their  generations; 
Ger'shon,  and  Ko'hath,  and  Mer'a-ri :  and  the  years  of 
the  life  of  Le'vi  were  an  hundred  thirty  and  seven

24  Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu,  El-e-a'zar  and  Ith'a-mar.  And  the 
sons  of  Ko'rah ;  As'sir,  and  El'ka-nah,  and  A-bi'a- 

25  saph ;  these  are  the  &milies  of  the  Ko'ra-hites.  And 
El-e-a'zar  Aa'ron's  son  took  him  one  of  the  daughters 
of  Pu'ti-el  to  wife;  and  shf  bare  him  Phin'e-has. 
These  are  the  heads  of  the  &*hers'  houses  of  the 

26  Le'vites  according  to  their  families^  These  are  that 
Aa'ron  and  Mo'ses,  to  whom  the  Lord  said.  Bring 
out  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from  the  land  of  E'gypt 

27  according  to  their  hosts.  These  are  they  which 
spake  to  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  to  bring  out  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  from  E'gypt :  these  are  that  Mo'ses 
and  Aa'ron. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  day  when  the  Lord 

29  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  that  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  I  am  the  Lord 
speak  thou  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  all  that  I 

30  speak  unto  thee.     And  Mo'ses  said  before  the  Lord, 

7  Behold,  I  am  of  uncircumcised  lips,  and  how  shall 
Pha'raoh  hearken  unto  me?  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Mo'ses,  See,  I  have  made  thee  a  god  to 
Pha'raoh :    and    Aa'ron    thy   brother   shall   be   thy 

2  prophet.  Thou  shalt  speak  all  that  I  command 
thee :  and  Aa'ron  tfiy  brother  shall  speak  unto 
Pha'raoh,  that  he  let  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  go  out 

3  of  his  land.  And  I  will  harden  Pha'raoh's  heart, 
and  multiply  my  signs  and  my  wonders  in  the  land 

4  of  E'gypt.  But  Pha'raoh  will  not  hearken  unto 
you,  and  I  will  lay  my  hand  upon  E'gypt,  and  bring 
forth  my  hosts,  my  people  the   children  of  Is'ra-el, 

6  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  by  great  judgements.  And 
the  E-gyp'tians  shall  kn'ow  that  I  am  the  Lord, 
when  I  stretch  forth  mine  hand  upon  E'gypt,  and

6  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  'did  as  the  Lord  commanded 
them,  so  did  they. 

7  And  Mo'ses  was  ""fourscore  years  old,  and  Aa'ron  four- 
score and  three  years  old,  when  they  spake  unto  Pha'raoh. 

8  ^And  the  Loed  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  and  unto  Aa'ron, 
saying, 

9  W  hen  Pha'raoh  shall  speak  unto  you,  saying,"Shew  a  mir- 
acle for  you:  then  thou  shalt  say  unto  Aa'ron,  "Take  thy 
rod,  and  cast  t<  before  Pha'raoh,  and  it  shall  become  a  serpent. 

10  *|lAnd  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  in  unto  Pha'raoh,  and 
they  did  so  "as  the  Lord  had  commanded :  and  Aa'ron  cast 
down  his  rod  before  Pha'raoh,  and  before  his  servants,  and 
it  "became  a  serpent. 

11  Then  Pha'raoh  also  'called  the  wise  men  and  'the 
sorcerers:  now  the  magicians  of  E'gypt,  they  also  'did  in 
like  manner  with  their  enchantments. 

12  For  they  cast  down  every  man  his  rod,  and  they  became 
serpents :  but  Aa'ron's  rod  swallowed  up  their  rods. 

13  And  he  hardened  Pha'raoh's  heart  that  he  hearkened 
not  unto  them ;  "as  the  LoKD  had  said. 

14  TJAnd  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Pha'raoh's  heart  is 
hardened,  he  refuseth  to  let  the  people  go. 

15  Get  thee  unto  Pha'raoh  in  the  morning;  lo,  he  goeth 
out  unto  the  water;  and  thou  shalt  stand  by  the  river's 
brink  against  he  come ;  and  ''the  rod  which  was  turned  to  a 
serpent  shalt  thou  take  in  thine  hand. 

16  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  him,  'The  Lord  God  of  the 
He'brews  hath  sent  me  unto  thee,  saying.  Let  my  people  go, 
"that  they  may  serve  me  in  the  wilderness:  and,  behold, 
hitherto  thou  wouldest  not  hear. 

17  Thus  .'Baith  the  Lord,  In  this  Hhou  shalt  know  that  T  am 
the  Lord  :  behold,  I  will  smite  with  the  rod  that  is  in  mine 
hand  upon  the  waters  which  are  in  the  river,  and  "they  shall 
be  turned  "-'to  blood. 

18'  And  the  fish  that  i«  in  the  river  shall  die,  and  the  river 
shall  stink  ;  and  the  E-gyp'tians  shall  'loathe  to  drink  of  the 
water  of  the  river. 

19  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  Say  unto  Aa'ron,, 
Take  thy  rod,  and  -'stretch  out  thine  hand  upon  the  water.s 
of  E'gypt,u])on  their  streams,  upon  their  rivers,and  upon  their 
ponds,  and  upon  all  their  tpools  of  water,  that  they  may  bcr- 
corae  blood ;  and  that  there  may  be  blood  throughout  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  both  iu  vessels  of  wood,  and  in  vessels  of  stone. 

20  And  Mo'.ses  and  Aa'ron  did  so ,  as  the  Lord  com^ 
manded ;  and  he  "lifted  up  the  rod,  and  smote  the  waters 
that  were  in  the  river,  in  the  sight  of  Pha'raoh,  and  iu  the 
sight  of  his  servants;  and  all  the  *waters  that  mere  in  the 
river  were  turned  to  blood. 

21  And  the  fish  that  was  in  the  river  died ;  and  the  river 
stank,  and  the  E-gyp'tians  'could  not  drink  of  the  water  of 
the  river ;  and  there  was  blood  throughout  all  the  land  of 

22  *And  the  magicians  of  E'gypt  did  so  with  their  enchant- 
ments :  and  Pha'raoh's  heart  was  hardened,  neither  did  he 
hearken  unto  them;  'as  the  Lord  had  said. 

23  And  Pha'raoh  turned  and  went  into  his  house,  neither 
did  he  set  his  heart  to  this  also. 

24  And  all  the  E-gyp'tians  digged  round  about  the  river 
for  water  to  drink ;  for  they  co'uld  not  drink  of  the  water  of 
the  river. 

25  And  seven  days  were  fulfilled,  after  that  the  Lord 
had  smitten  the  river. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Frogs  are  sent—Pharaoh  incUrteth  to  let  the  people  go,  but  yet  u  hardened, 

AND  the  Lord    spake  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  unto  Pha'raoh, 
and  say  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Let  my  people 
go,  "that  they  may  serve  me. 

2  And  if  thou  ''refuse  to  let  tKem.  go,  behold,  I  will  smite 
all  thy  borders  with  "^frogs : 


6 And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  did  so;   a.s  the  Lord  com- 

7  manded  them,  so  did  they.  And  Mo'ses  was  four- 
score years  old,  and  Aa'ron  fourscore  and  three 
years  old,  when  they  spake  unto  Pha'raoh. 

8  And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses   and    unto 

9  Aa'ron,  saying.  When  Pha'raoh  shall  speak  unto 
you,  saying.  Shew  a  wonder  for  you:  then  thou 
shalt  say  unto  Aa'ron,  Take  thy  rod,  and  cast  it 
down  before  Pha'raoh,  that  it   become  a  'serpent. 

10  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  in  unto  Pha'raoh,  and 
they  did  so,  as  the  Lord  had  commanded :  and 
Aa'ron  cast  down  his  rod  before  Pha'raoh  and  before 

1 1  his  servants,  and  it  became  a  serpent.  Then  Pha'raoh 
also  called  for  the  wise  men  and  the  sorcerers :  and 
they  also,   the  'magicians   of   E'gypt,   did    in  like 

12  manner  with  their  ^enchantments.  For  they  cast 
down  every  man  his  rod,  and  they  became  serpents  : 

13  but  Aa'ron's  rod  swallowed  up  their  rods.  And 
Pha'raoh's  heart  Svas  hardened,  and  he  nearkened 
not  unto  them;  as  the  Lord  had  spoken. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Pha'raoh's  heart 

15  is  'stubborn,  he  refuseth  to  let  the  people  go.  Get 
thee  unto  Pha'raoh  in  the  morning ;  lo,  he  goeth  out 
unto  the  water;  and  thou  shalt  stand  by  the  river's 
brink  to  meet  him ;  and  the  rod  which  was  turned 

16  to  a  'serpent  shalt  thou  take  in  thine  hand.  And 
thou  shalt  say  unto  him,  the  Lord,  the  God  of  the 
He'brews,  hath  sent  me  unto  thee,  saying,  Let  my 
people  go,  that  they  may  serve  me  in  the  wilderness : 

17  and,  behold,  hitherto  thou  hast  not  hearkened;  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  In  this  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord  :  behold,  I  will  smite  with  the  rod  that  is 
in  mine    hand   upon  the  waters  which  are  in  the 

ISrivcr,  and  they  shall  be  turned  to  blood.  And  the 
fish  that  is  in  the  river  shall  die,  and  the  river  shall 
stink;  and   the    E-gyp'tians  shall   loathe   to    drink 

19  water  from  the  river.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'ses,  Say  unto  Aa'ron,  Take  thy  rod,  and  stretch 
out  thine  hand  over  the  waters  of  E'gypt,  over  their 
rivers,  over  their  'streams,  and  over  their  pools,  and 
over  all  their  ponds  of  water,  that  they  may  become 
blood ;  and  there  shall  be  blood  throughout  all  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  both  in  vessels  of  wood  and  in  ves- 

20sels  of  stone.  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  did  so,  as  the 
Lord  commanded ;  and  he  lifted  up  the  rod,  and 
smote  the  waters  that  were  in  the  river,  in  the  sight 
of  Pha'raoh,  and  in  the  sight  of  his  servants ;  and 
all  the  waters  that  were  in  the  river  were  turned  to 

21  bloodi  And  the  fish  that  was  in  the  river  died  ;  and 
the  river  stank,  and  the  E-gyp'tians  could  not  drink 
water  from  the  river ;  and  the  blood  was  throughout 

22  all  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  the  magicians  of 
E'gypt  did  in  like  manner  with  their  enchantments  : 
and  Pha'raoh's  heart  ''was  hardened,  and  he  heark- 
ened not  unto    them;    as    the   Lord   had    spoken. 

23  And    Pha'raoh    turned    and    went   into    his   house, 

24  neither  did  he 'lay  even  this  to  heart.  And  all  the 
E-gyp'tians  digged  round  about  the  river  for  water  to 
drink ;  for  they  could  not  drink  of  the  water  of  the 

25  river.  And  seven  days  were  fulfilled,  after  that  the 
Lord  had  smitten  the  river. 

O   And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  in  unto 
Pha'raoh,  and  say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Let     my     people      go,     that     they     may     serve 
2  me.      And    if    thou    refuse    to    let  them   go,    be-

3  And  the  river  shall  bring  forth  frogs  abundantly,  which 
shall  go  up  and  come  into  thine  house,  and  into  ''thy  bed- 
chamber, and  upon  thy  bed,  and  into  the  house  of  thy 
servants,  and  upon  thy  people,  and  into  thine  ovens,  and 
into  thy  ||  kneadingtroughs  : 

4  And  the  frogs  shall  come  up  both  on  thee,  and  upon 
thy  people,  and  upon  all  thy  servants. 

5  Tf  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  Say  unto  Aa'ron, 
'Stretch  forth  thine  hand  with  thy  rod  over  the  streams, 
over  the  rivers,  and  over  the  ponds,  and  cause  frogs  to  come 
up  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

6  And  Aa'ron  stretched  out  his  hand  over  the  waters  of 
E'gypt ;  and  -^the  frogs  came  up,  and  covered  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

7  "And  the  magicians  did  so  with  their  enchantments,  and 
brought  up  frogs  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

8  ^Then  Pha'raoh  called  for  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  and  said, 
'Entreat  the  Lord,  that  he  may  take  away  the  frogs  from 
me,  and  from  my  people  ;  and  I  will  let  the  people  go,  that 
they  may  do  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Pha'raoh,  ||Glory  over  me  :  ||when 
shall  I  entreat  for  thee,  and  for  thy  servants,  and  for  thy 
people,  fto  destroy  the  frogs  from  thee  and  thy  houses,  that 
they  may  remain  in  the  river  only  ? 

10  And  he  said,  ||  To-morrow.  And  he  said.  Be  it  accord- 
ing to  thy  word  ;  that  thou  mayest  know  that.'there  is  none 
like  unto  the  Lord  our  God. 

11  And  the  frogs  shall  depart  from  thee,  and  from  thy 
houses,  and  from  thy  servants,  and  from  thy  people;  they 
shall  remain  in  the  river  only. 

12  ^And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  out  from  Pha'raoh :  and 
Mo'ses  *cried  unto  the  Lord  because  of  the  frogs  which  he 
had  brought  against  Pha'raoh. 

13  And  the  Lord  did  according  to  the  word  of  Mo'ses ; 
and  the  frogs  died  out  of  the  houses,  out  of  the  villages,  and 
out  of  the  fields. 

14  And  they  gathered  them  together  upon  heaps ;  and  the 
land  stank. 

15  But  when  Pha'raoh  saw  that  there .  was  'respite,  "he 
hardened  his  heart,  and  hearkened  not  unto  them ;  as  the 
Lord  had  said. 

16  TIAnd  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Say  unto  A'aron, 
Stretch  out  thy  rod,  and  smite  the  dust  of  the  land,  that  it 
may  become  lice  throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

17  And  they  did  so  ;  for  Aa'ron  stretched  out  his  hand 
with  his  rod,  and  smote  the  dust  of  the  earth,  and  "it  became 
lice  in  man,  and  in  beast ;  all  the  dust  of  the  land  became 
lice  throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

18  And  "the  magicians  did  so  with  their  enchantments  to 
bring  forth  lice,  but  they  "could  not :  so  there  were  lice  upon 
man,  and  upon  beast. 

19  Then  the  magicians  said  unto  Pha'raoh,  This  is  "the 
finger  of  God  :  and  Pha'raoh's  'heart  was  hardened,  and  he 
hearkened  not  unto  them  ;  as  the  Lord  had  said. 

20  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Rise  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  stand  before  Pha'raoh ;  lo,  he  cometh  forth 
to  the  water ;  and  say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  'Let 
my  people  go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

21  Else,  if  thou  wilt  not  let  my  people  go,  behold,  I  will 
send  llswarms  of  flies  upon  thee,  and  upon  thy  servants, 
and  upon  thy  people,  and  into  thy  houses :  and  the  houses 
of  the  E-gyp'tians  shall  be  full  of  swarms  of  flies,  and  also 
the  ground  whereon  they  are. 

22  And  "I  will  sever  in  that  day  the  land  of  Go'shen,  in 
which  my  people  dwell,  that  no  swarms  of  flies  shall  be 
there ;  to  the  end  thou  mayest  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  in 
the  midst  of  the  earth. 

23  And  I  will  put  fa  division  between  my  people  and  thy 
people  :  ijto-morrow  shall  this  sign  be. 


Sand  the  river  shall  swarm  with  frogs,  which  shall 
go  up  and  come  into  thine  house,  and  into  thy  bed- 
chamber, and  upon  thy  bed,  and  into  the  house  of 
thy  servants,   and  upon  thy  people,  and  into  thine 

4  ovens,  and  into  thy  kneadingtroughs  :  and  the  frogs 
shall  come  up  both  upon  thee,  and  upon  thy  people, 

5  and  upon  all  thy  servants.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'ses,  Say  unto  Aa'ron,  Stretch  forth  thine  hand 
with  thy  rod  over  the  rivers,  over  the  'streams,  and 
over  the  pools,  and  cau.se   frogs  to  come  up  upon 

6  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  Aa'ron  stretched  out  his 
hand  over  the  waters  of  E'gypt ;  and  the  frogs  came 

7  up,  and  covered  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  the  ma- 
gicians did  in  like  manner  with  their  enchantments, 
and   brought  up   frogs   upon   the  land  of  E'gypt. 

8  Then  Pha'raoh  called  for  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  and 
said,  Intreat  the  Lord,  that  he  take  away  the  frogs 
from  me,  and  from  my  people  ;  and  I  will  let  the 
people  go,  that  they  may  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Pha'raoh,  Have  thou  this  glory 
over  me  :  against  what  time  shall  I  intreat  for  thee, 
and  for  thy  servants,  and  for  thy  people,  that  the 
frogs  be  destroyed  from  thee  and  thy   houses,  and 

10  remain  in  the  river  only  ?  And  he  said.  Against  to- 
morrow. And  he  said.  Be  it  according  to  thy  word: 
that  thou  mayest  know  that  there  is  none  like  unto 

11  the    Lord   our   God.     And   the  frogs  shall  depart 
from  thee,  and  from  thy  houses,  and  from  thy  serv 
ants,  and  from  thy  people ;  they  shall  remain  in  the 

12  river  only.  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  out  from 
Pha'raoh :  and  Mo'ses  cried  unto  the  Lord  concern- 
ing the  frogs  ^which  he  had  brought  upon  Pha'raoh 

13  And  the  Lord  did  according  to  the  word  of  Mo'ses ; 
and   the   frogs   died   out  of  the  houses,  out  of  the 

14  courts,  and  out  of  the  fields.     And  they  gathered 

15  them  together  in  heaps :  and  the  land  stank.     But 
when  Pha'raoh  saw  that  there  was  respite,  he  ^hard 
ened  his   heart,  and  hearkened  not  unto  them ;  as 
the  Lord  had  spoken. 

16  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Say  unto  Aa'ron, 
Stretch  out  thy  rod,  and  smite  the  dust  of  the  earth, 
that  it  may  become  *lice  throughout  all  the  land  of 

17  E'gypt.  And  they  did  so ;  and  Aa'ron  stretched  out 
his  hand  with  his  rod,  and  smote  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  and  there  were  lice  upon  man,  and  upon  beast; 
all  the  dust  of  the  earth  became  lice  throughout  all 

18  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  the  magicians  did  so  with 
their  enchantments  to  bring  forth  lice,  but  they  could 
not :  and  there  were  lice  upon  man,  and  upon  beast. 

19  Then  the  magicians  said  unto  Pha'raoh,  This  is  the 
finger  of  God :  and  Pha'raoh's  heart  ''was  hardened, 
and  he  hearkened  not  unto  them ;  as  the  Lord  had 
spoken. 

20  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Rise  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  stand  before  Pha'raoh ;  lo,  he  com- 
eth forth  to  the  water ;  and  say  unto  him,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Let  my  people  go,  that  they  may  serve 

21  me.  Else,  if  thou  wilt  not  let  my  people  go,  be- 
hold, I  will  send  swarms  of  flies  upon  thee,  and 
upon  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy  people,  and  into 
thy  houses  :  and  the  houses  of  the  E-gyp'tians  shall 
be    full    of   swarms   of  flies,    and   also  the  ground 

22  whereon  they  are.  And  I  will  sever  in  that  day 
the  land  of  Go'shen,  in  which  my  people  dwell,  that 
no  swarms  of  flies  shall  be  there ;  to  the  end  thou 
mayest  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  in  the  midst  of  the 

23  earth.-  And  I  will  *put  a  division  between  my  peo- 
ple and  thy  people  :  by  to-morrow  shall  this  sign  be.

24  And  the  Lord  did  so ;  and  "^there  came  a  grievous 
swarm  of  flies  into  the  house  of  Pha'raoh,  and  into  his  servants' 
houses,  and  into  all  the  land  of  E'gypt :  the  land  was  ||  cor- 
rupted by  reason  of  the  swarm  of  flies. 

25  ^And  Pha'raoh  called  for  Mo'ses,  and  for  Aa'ron,  and 
said,  Go  ye,  sacrifice  to  your  God  in  the  land. 

26  And  Mo'ses  said,  It  is  not  meet  so  to  do  ;  for  we  shall 
sacrifice  "the  abomination  of  the  E-gyp'tians  to  the  LoRD  our 
God :  lo,  shall  we  sacrifice  the  abomination  of  the  E-gyp'- 
tians before  their  eyes,  and  will  they  not  stone  us? 

27  We  will  go  'three  days'  journey  into  the  wilderness, 
and  sacrifice  to  the  Lord  our  God,  as  "he  shall  command  us. 

28  And  Pha'raoh  said,  I  will  let  you  go,  that  ye  may 
sacrifice  to  the  Lord  your  God  in  the  wilderness;  only  ye 
shall  not  go  very  far  away :  'entreat  for  me. 

29  And  Mo'ses  said.  Behold,  I  go  out  from  thee,  and  I  will 
entreat  the  Lord  that  the  swarms  of  flies  may  depart  from 
Pha'raoh,  from  his  servants,  and  from  his  people,  to-morrow : 
but  let  not  Pha'raoh  'deal  deceitfully  any  more  in  not  letting 
the  people  go  to  sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

30  And  Mo'ses  went  out  from  Pha'raoh,  and  ''entreated  the 
Lord. 

31  And  the  Lord  did  according  to  the  word  of  Mo'ses; 
and  he  removed  the  swarms  of  flies  from  Pha'raoh,  from  his 
servants,  and  from  his  people ;  there  remained  not  one. 

32  And  Pha'raoh  'hardened  his  heart  at  this  time  also, 
neither  would  he  let  the  people  go. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Murrain  of  beasts — Pharaoh  sue/h  to  Moses,  but  yet  is  hardened. 

THEN  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  °Go  in  unto  Pha'raoh, 
and  tell  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  the  He'brews, 
Let  my  people  go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

2  For  if  thou  'refuse  to  let  them  go,  and  wilt  hold  them  still, 

3  Behold,  the  "hand  of  the  Lord  is  upon  thy  cattle  which 
is  in  the  field,  upon  the  horses,  upon  the  asses,  upon  the 
camels,  upon  the  oxen,  and  upon  the  sheep :  ihere  shall  be  a 
very  grievous  murrain. 

4  And  "^he  Lord  shall  sever  between  the  cattle  of  Is'ra-el 
and  the  cattle  of  E'gypt :  and  there  shall  nothing  die  of  all 
thcd  is  the  children's  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  the  Lord  appointed  a  set  time,  saying,  To-morrow 
the  Lord  shall  do  this  thing  in  the  land. 

6  And  the  Lord  did  that  thing  on  the  morrow,  and  'all 
the  cattle  of  E'gypt  died :  but  of  the  cattle  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  died  not  one. 

7  And  Pha'raoh  sent,  and,  behold,  there  was  not  one  of  the 
cattle  of  the  Is'ra-el-ites  dead.  And  -the  heart  of  Pha'raoh 
was  hardened,  and  he  did  not  let  the  people  go. 

8  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses  and  linto  Aa'ron,  Take 
to  you  handfuls  of  ashes  of  the  furnace,  and  let  Mo'ses 
sprinkle  it  toward  the  heaven  in  the  sight  of  Pha'raoh. 

9  And  it  shall  become  small  dust  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
and  shall  be  "a  boil  breaking  forth  with  blains  upon  man, 
and  upon  beast,  throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

10  And  they  took  ashes  of  the  furnace,  and  stood  before 
Pha'raoh ;  and  Mo'ses  sprinkled  it  up  toward  heaven ;  and 
it  became  ''a  boil  breaking  forth  with  blains  upon  man,  and 
upon  beast. 

11  And  the  'magicians  could  not  stand  before  Mo'ses 
because  of  the  boils ;  for  the  boil  was  upon  the  magicians, 
and  upon  all  the  E-gyp'tians. 

12  And  the  Lord  hardened  the  heart  of  Pha'raoh,  and  he 
hearkened  not  unto  them;  *as  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto 
Mo'ses. 

13  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Rise  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  stand  before  Pha'raoh,  and  say  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  the  He'brews,  Let  my  people 
go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 


24  And  the  Lord  did  so ;  and  there  came  grievous 
swarms  of  flies  into  the  house  of  Pha'raoh,  and  into 
his  servants'  houses :  and  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt 
the  land  was  'corrupted  by  reason  of  the  swarms  of 

25  flies.  And  Pha'raoh  called  for  Mo'ses  and  for  Aa'ron, 
and  said.  Go  ye,  sacrifice  to  your  God  in  the  land 

26 And  Mo'ses  said,  It  is  not  meet  so  to  do;  for  we 
shall  sacrifice  the  abomination  of  the  E-gj'p'tians  to  the 
Lord  our  God :  lo,  shall  we  sacrifice  the  abomina 
tion  of  the  E-gyp'tians  before  their  eyes,  and  will  they 

27  not  stone  us  ?  We  will  go  three  days'  journey  into 
the  wilderness,  and  sacrifice  to  the  Lord  our  God, 

28  as  he  shall  command  us.  And  Pha'raoh  said,  I  will 
let  you  go,  that  ye  may  sacrifice  to  the  Lord  your 
God   in   the  wilderness ;   only  ye  shall  not  go  very 

29  far  away  :  intreat  for  me.  And  Mo'ses  said.  Behold, 
I  go  out  from  thee,  and  I  will  intreat  the  Lord  that 
the  swarms  of  flies  may  depart  from  Pha'raoh,  from 
his  servants,  and  from  his  people,  to-morrow  :  only 
let  not  Pha'raoh  deal  deceitfully  any  more  in  not 

30  letting  the  people  go  to  sacrifice  to  the  Lord.  And 
Mo'ses  went  out  from  Pha'raoh,  and  intreated  the 

31  Lord.  And  the  Lord  did  according  to  the  word 
of  Mo'ses ;  and  he  removed  the  swarms  of  flies  from 
Pha'raoh,  from  his  servants,  and   from   his   people ; 

32  there  remained  not  one.  And  Pha'raoh  ^hardened 
his  heart  this  time  also,  and  he  did  not  let  the  peo- 
ple go. 

V  Then  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  in  unto 
Pha'raoh,  and  tell  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  the  He'brews,  Let  my  people  go,  that  they 

2  may  serve  me.     For  if  thou  refuse  to  let  them  go, 

3  and  wilt  hold  them  still,  behold,  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  is  upon  thy  cattle  which  is  in  the  field,  upon 
the  horses,  upon  the  asses,  upon  the  camels,  upon 
the  herds,  and  upon  the  flocks :  there  shall  be  a  very 

4  grievous  murrain.  And  the  Lord  shall  sever  be 
tween  the  cattle  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  cattle  of  E'gypt 
and  there  shall  nothing  die  of  all  that  belongeth  to 

5  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  Lord  appointed  a 
set  time  saying.  To-morrow  the  Lord  shall  do  this 

6  thing  in  the  land.  And  the  Lord  did  that  thing  on 
the  morrow,  and  all  the  cattle  of  E'gypt  died :  but  of 

7  the  cattle  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  died  not  one.  And 
Pha'raoh  sent,  and,  behold,  there  was  not  so  much  as 
one  of  the  cattle  of  the  Is'ra-el-ites  dead.  But  the 
heart  of  Pha'raoh  was  'stubborn,  and  he  did  not  let 
the  people  go. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 
Take  to  you  handfuls  of  ^ashes  of  the  furnace,  and 
let  Mo'ses  sprinkle  it  toward  the  heaven  in  the  sight 

9  of  Pha'raoh.  And  it  shall  become  small  dust  over 
all  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  shall  be  a  bod  breaking 
forth  with  blains  upon  man  and  upon  beast,  through- 

10  out  all  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  they  took  ashes  of 
the  furnace,  and  stood  before  Pha'raoh ;  and  Mo'ses 
sprinkled  it  up  toward  heaven ;  and  it  became  a  boil 
breaking   forth   with    blains    upon    man    and   upon 

11  beast.  And  the  magicians  could  not  stand  before 
Mo'ses  because  of  the  boils ;  for  the  boils  were  upon 

12  the  magicians,  and  upon  all  the  E-gyp'tians.  And 
the  Lord  'hardened  the  heart  of  Pha  raoh,  and  he 
hearkened  not  unto  them ;  as  the  Lord  had  spoken 
unto  Mo'ses. 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Rise  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  stand  before  Pha'raoh,  and  say  un- 
to him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  the  He'- 
brews, Let  my  people  go,  that  they  may  serve  me.

14  For  I  will  at  this  time  send  all  my  plagues  upon  thine 
heart,  and  upon  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy  people ;  "that 
thou  may  est  know  that  there  is  none  like  me  in  all  the  earth. 

15  For  now  I  will  "stretch  out  my  hand,  that  I  may  smite 
thee  and  thy  people  with  pestilence ;  and  thou  shalt  be  cut 
off  from  the  earth. 

16  And  in  very  deed  for  "this  catise  have  I  fraised  thee 
up,  for  to  shew  in  thee  my  power;  and  that  my  name  may 
be  declared  throughout  all  the  earth. 

17  As  yet  exaltest  thou  thyself  against  my  people,  that 
thou  wilt  not  let  them  go  ? 

18  Behold,  to-morrow  about  this  time  I  will  cause  it  to 
rain  a  very  grievous  hail,  such  as  hath  not  been  in  E'gypt 
since  the  foundation  thereof  even  until  now. 

19  Send  therefore  now,  and  gather  thy  cattle,  and  all  that 
thou  hast  in  the  field ;  for  upon  every  man  and  beast  which 
shall  be  found  in  the  field,  and  shall  not  be  brought  home, 
the  hail  shall  come  down  upon  them,  and  they  shall  die. 

20  He  that  feared  the  word  of  the  Lord  among  the  servants 
of  Pha'raoh  made  his  servants  and  his  cattle  flee  into  the  houses: 

21  And  he  that  fregarded  not  the  word  of  the  Lobd  left 
his  servants  and  his  cattle  in  the  field. 

22  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Stretch  forth  thine 
hand  toward  heaven,  that  there  may  be  *hail  in  all  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  upon  man,  and  upon  beast,  and  upon  every  herb 
of  the  field,  throughout  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

23  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  rod  toward  heaven :  and 
'the  Lord  sent  thunder  and  hail,  and  the  fire  ran  along  upon 
the  ground;  and  the  Lord  rained  hail  upon  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

24  So  there  was  hail,  and  fire  mingled  with  the  hail,  very 
grievous,  such  as  there  was  none  like  it  in  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt  since  it  became  a  nation. 

25  And  the  hail  smote  throughout  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  all 
that  was  in  the  field,  both  man  and  beast ;  and  the  hail  ''smote 
every  herb  of  the  field,  and  brake  every  tree  of  the  field. 

26  'Only  in  the  land  of  Go'shen,  where  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  were,  was  there  no  hail. 

27  ^IJAnd  Pha'raoh  sent,  and  called  for  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron, 
and  said  unto  them,  'I  have  sinned  this  time  :  "the  Lord  is 
righteous,  and  I  and  my  people  are  wicked. 

28  ''Entreat  the  Lord  (for  it  is  enough)  that  there  be  no 
more  fmighty  thunderings  and  hail ;  and  I  will  let  you  go, 
and  ye  shall  stay  no  longer. 

29  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  him.  As  soon  as  I  am  gone  out  of 
the  city,  I  will  "spread  abroad  my  hands  unto  the  Lord  ;  and 
the  thunder  shall  cease,  neither  shall  there  be  any  more  hail ; 
that  thou  mayest  know  how  that  the  'earth  is  the  Lord's. 

30  But  as  for  thee  and  thy  servants,  "I  know  that  ye  will 
not  yet  fear  the  Lord  God. 

31  And  the  flax  and  the  barley  was  smitten :  'for  the  barley 
was  in  the  ear,  and  the  flax  was  boiled. 

32  But  the  wheat  and  the  rye  were  not  smitten  :  for  they 
were  fnot  grown  up. 

33  And  Mo'ses  went  out  of  the  city  from  Pha'raoh,  and 
"spread  abroad  his  hands  unto  the  Lord  :  and  the  thunders 
and  hail  ceased,  and  the  rain  was  not  poured  upon  the  earth. 

34  And  when  Pha'raoh  saw  that  the  rain  and  the  hail  and 
the  thunders  were  ceased,  he  sinned  yet  more,  and  hardened 
his  heart,  he  and  his  servants. 

35  And  ''the  heart  of  Pha'raoh  was  hardened,  neither  would 
he  let  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  go  ;  as  the  Lord  had  spoken 
fby  Mo'ses. 

CHAPTER  X. 

Pharaoh  inclineth  la  let  the  Israelites  go— Plague  of  the  locusts. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  in  unto  Pha'raoh : 
"for  I  have  hardened  his  heart,  and  the  heart  of  his 
servants,  'that  I  might  shew  these  my  signs  before  him  : 
2  And  that  thou  mayest  tell  in  the  ears   of  thy   son, 


14  For  I  will  this  time  send  all  my  plagues  upon 
thine  heart,  and  upon  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy 
people ;  that  thou  mayest  know  that  there  is  none 

15  like  me  in  all  the  earth.  For  now  I  had  put  forth 
my  hand,  and  smitten  thee  and  thy  people  with 
pestilence,  and  thou   hadst  been  cut  off   from  the 

16 earth:  but  in  very  deed  for  this  cause  have  I  made 
thee  to  stand,  for  to  shew  thee  my  power,  and  that 
my  name  may  be  declared  throughout  all  the  earth. 
17  As  yet  exaltest  thou  thyself  against  my  people,  that 
18 thou  wilt  not  let  them  go?  Behold,  to-morrow 
about  this  time  I  will  cause  it  to  rain  a  very  griev- 
ous hail,  such  as  hath  not  been  in  E'gypt  since  the 

19  day  it  was  founded  even  until  now.  Now  therefore 
send,  hasten  in  thy  cattle  and  all  that  thou  hast  in 
the  field ;  for  every  man  and  beast  which  shall  be 
found  in  the  field,  and  shall  not  be  brought  home, 
the  hail  shall  come  down  upon  them,  and  they  shall 

20  die.  He  that  feared  the  word  of  the  Lord  among 
the  servants  of  Pha'raoh  made  his  servants  and  his 

21  cattle  flee  into  the  houses :  and  he  that  regarded  not 
the  word  of  the  Lord  left  his  servants  and  his  cattle 
in  the  field. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Stretch  forth 
thine  hand  toward  heaven,  that  there  may  be  hail 
in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt,  upon  man,  and  upon  beast, 
and  upon  every  h#rb  of  the  field,  throughout  the 

23  land  of  E'gypt.  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  rod 
toward  heaven :  and  the  Lord  sent  thunder  and 
hail,  and  fire  ran  down  unto  the  earth ;  and  the  Lord 

24  rained  hail  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt.  So  there  was 
hail,  and  fire  'mingled  with  the  hail,  very  grievous, 
such  as  had  not  been  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt  since 

25  it  became  a  nation.  And  the  hail  smote  throughout 
all  the  land  of  E'gypt  all  that  was  in  the  field,  both 
man  and  beast ;  and  the  hail  smote  every  herb  of  the 

26  field,  and  brake  every  tree  of  the  field.  Only  in  the 
land  of  Go'shen,  where  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were, 

27  was  there  no  hail.  And  Pha'raoh  sent,  and  called 
for  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  and  said  unto  them,  I  have 
sinned  this  time :  the  Lord  is  righteous,  and  I  and 

28  my  people  are  wicked.  Intreat  the  Lord  ;  for  there 
hath  been  enough  of  these  ^mighty  thunderings  and 
hail ;  and  I  will  let  you  go,  and  ye  shall  stay  no 

29  longer.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  him.  As  soon  as  I 
am  gone  out  of  the  city,  I  will  spread  abroad  my 
hands  unto  the  Lord;  the  thunder  shall  cease, 
neither  shall  there  be  any  more  hail ;  that  thou  may 

30  est  know  that  the  earth  is  the  Lord's.  But  as  for 
thee  and  thy  servants,  I  know  that  ye  will  not  yet 

31  fear  the  Lord  God.  And  the  flax  and  the  barley 
were  smitten :  for  the  barley  was  in  the  ear,  and  the 

32  flax  'was  boiled.     But  the  wheat  and  the  spelt  were 

33  not  smitten :  for  they  were  not  grown  up.  And 
Mo'ses  went  out  of  the  city  from  Pha'raoh,  and  spread 
abroad  his  hands  unto  the  Lord  :  and  the  thunders 
and  hail  ceased,  and  the  rain  was  not  poured  upon 

34  the  earth.  And  when  Pha'raoh  saw  that  the  rain 
and  the  hail  and  the  thunders  were  ceased,  he  sinned 
yet  more,  and  ^hardened  his  heart,  he  and  his  serv- 

35  ants.  And  the  heart  of  Pha'raoh  'was  hardened, 
and  he  did  not  let  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  go  ;  as  the 
Lord  had  spoken  by  Mo'ses. 

iU  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses, Go  in  unto  Pha'raoh: 
for  I  have  'hardened  his  heart,  and  the  heart  of  his  serv- 
ants, that  I  might  shew  these  my  signs  in  the  midst  of 
2  them :  and  that  thou  mayest  t«ll  in  the  ears  of  thy  son,

and  of  thy  son's  son,  what  things  I  have  wrought  in  E'gypt, 
and  my  signs  which  I  have  done  among  them;  that  ye  may 
know  how  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

3  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  came  in  unto  Pha'raoh,  and  said 
unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  the  He'brews,  How 
long  wilt  thou  refuse  to  ''humble  thyself  before  me  ?  Let 
my  people  go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

4  Else,  if  thou  refuse  to  let  my  people  go,  behold,  to- 
morrow will  I  bring  the  'locusts  into  thy  coast : 

5  And  they  shall  cover  the  fface  of  the  earth,  that  one 
cannot  be  able  to  see  the  earth :  and  -^they  shall  eat  the 
residue  of  that  which  is  escaped,  which  remaineth  unto  you 
from  the  hail,  and  shall  eat  every  tree  which  groweth  for 
you  out  of  the  field  : 

6  And  they  "shall  fill  thy  houses,  and  the  houses  of  all  thy 
servants,  and  the  houses  of  all  the  E-gyp'tians ;  which  neither 
thy  fathers,  nor  thy  fathers'  fathers  have  seen,  since  the  day 
that  they  were  upon  the  earth  unto  this  day.  And  he 
turned  himself,  and  went  out  from  Pha'raoh. 

7  And  Pha'raoh's  servants  said  unto  him.  How  long  shall 
this  man  be  *a  snare  unto  us?  let  the  men  go,  that  they 
may  serve  the  Lord  their  God:  knowest  thou  not  yet  that 
E'gypt  is  destroyed? 

8  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  were  brought  again  unto  Pha'- 
raoh :  and  he  said  unto  them.  Go,  serve  the  Lord  your 
God :  but  fwho  are  they  that  shall  go  ? 

9  And  Mo'ses  said,  We  will  go  with  our  young  and  with 
our  old,  with  our  sons  and  with  our  daughters,  with  our 
flocks  and  with  our  herds  will  we  go ;  for  "we  must  hold  a 
feast  unto  the  Lord. 

10  And  he  said  unto  them,  Let  the  Lord  be  so  with  you, 
as  I  will  let  you  go,  and  your  little  ones:  look  to  it;  for 
evil  is  before  you. 

11  Not  so :  go  now  ye  thai  are  men,  and  serve  the  Lord  ; 
for  that  ye  did  desire.  And  they  were  drives  out  from 
Pha'raoh's  presence. 

12  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  *Stretch  out  thine 
hand  over^  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  the  locusts,  that  they  may 
come  up  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  'eat  every  herb  of 
the  land,  even  all  that  the  hail  hath  left. 

13  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  rod  over  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  and  the  Lord  brought  an  east  wind  upon  the  land 
all  that  day,  and  all  that  night ;  and  when  it  was  morning, 
the  east  win^  brought  the  locusts. 

14  And  ""the  locusts  went  up  over  all  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
and  rested  in  all  the  coasts  of  E'gypt :  very  grievous  were 
they ;  "before  them  there  were  no  such  locusts  as  they, 
neither  after  them  shall  be  such. 

15  For  they  "covered  the  face  of  the  whole  earth,  so  that 
the  land  was  darkened ;  and  they  "did  eat  every  herb  of  the 
land,  and  all  the  fruit  of  the  trees  which  the  hail  had  left: 
and  there  remained  not  any  green  thing  in  the  trees,  or  in 
the  herbs  of  the  field,  through  all  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

16  ^Then  Pha'raoh  fcalled  for  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  in  haste ; 
and  he  said,  "I  have  sinned  against  the  Lord  your  God,  and 
against  you. 

17  Now  therefore  forgive,  I  pray  thee,  my  sin  only  this 
once,  and  ""entreat  the  Lord  your  God  that  he  may  take 
away  from  me  this  death  only. 

18  And  he  'went  out  from  Pha'raoh,  and  entreated  the  Lord. 

19  And  the  Lord  turned  a  mighty  strong  west  wind,  which 
took  away  the  locusts,  and  feast  them  'into  the  Red  sea; 
there  remained  not  one  locust  in  all  the  coasts  of  E'gypt. 

20  But  the  Lord  "hardened  Pha'raoh's  heart,  so  that  he 
would  not  let  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  go. 

21  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Stretch  out  thine 
hand  toward  heaven,  that  there  may  be  darkness  over  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  feven  darkness  which  may  be  felt. 

22  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  hand  toward  heaven; 


and  of  thy  son's  son,  'what  things  I  have  wrought 
upon  E'gypt,  and  my  signs  which  I  have  done 
among  them ;  that  ye  may  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

3  And  Mo'.ses  and  Aa'ron  went  in  unto  Pha'raoh,  and 
said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  the 
He'brews,  How  long  wilt  thou  refuse  to  humble  thy- 
self before  me  ?  let  my  people  go,  that  they  may  serve 

4  me.  Else,  if  thou  refuse  to  let  my  people  go,  be- 
hold, to-morrow  will  I  bring  locusts  into  thy  border : 

5  and  they  shall  cover  the  face  of  the  earth,  that  one 
shall  not  be  able  to  see  the  earth :  and  they  shall 
eat  the  residue  of  that  which  is  escaped,  which  re- 
maineth unto  you  from  the  hail,  and  shall  eat  every 

6  tree  which  groweth  for  you  out  of  the  field :  and  thy 
houses  shall  be  filled,  and  the  houses  of  all  thy  serv 
ants,  and  the  houses  of  all  the  E-gyp'tians ;  as  neither 
thy  fathers  nor  thy  fathers'  fathers  have  seen,  since 
the  day  that  they  were  upon  the  earth  unto  this  day. 

7  And  he  turned,  and  went  out  from  Pha'raoh.  And 
Pha'raoh's  servants  said  unto  him,  How  long  shall 
this  man  be  a  snare  unto  us?  let  the  men  go,  that 
they  may  serve  the  Lord  their  God :  knowest  thou 

8  not  yet  that  E'gypt  is  destroyed  ?  And  Mo'ses  and 
Aa'ron  were  brought  again  unto  Pha'raoh :  and  he 
said  unto  them,  Go,  serve  the  Lord  your  God :  but 

9  who  are  they  that  shall  go  ?  And  Mo'ses  said,  We 
will  go  with  our  young  and  with,  our  old,  with  our 
sons  and  with  our  daughters,  with  our  flocks  and 
with  our  herds  will  we  go ;  for  we  must  hold  a  feast 

10  unto  the  Lord.  And  he  said  unto  them.  So  be  the 
Lord  with  you,  as  I  will  let  you  go,  and  your  little 

Hones:  look  to  it;  for  evil  is  ^before  you.  Not  so: 
go  now  ye  that  are  men,  and  serve  the  Lord  ;  for 
that  is  what  ye  desire.  And  they  were  driven  out 
from  Pha'raoh's  presence. 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Stretch  out  thine 
hand  over  the  land  of  E'gypt  for  the  locusts,  that 
they  may  come  up  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt,,  and  eat 
every  herb  of  the  land,  even  all  that  the  hail  hath 

13  left.  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  rod  over  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  and  the  Lord  brought  an  east  wind 
upon  the  land  all  that  day,  and  all  the  night ;  and 
when  it  was  morning,  the  east  wind  brought  the 

14  locusts.  And  the  locusts  went  up  over  all  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  and  rested  in  all  the  borders  of  E'gypt ; 
very  grievous  were  they ;  before  them  there  were  no 
such   locusts   as  they,  neither   after  them  shall  be 

15  sucb.  For  they  covered  the  face  of  the  whole  earth, 
so  that  the  land  was  darkened;  and  they  did  eat 
every  herb  of  the  land,  and  all  the  fruit  of  the  trees 
which  the  hail  had  left :  and  there  remained  not  any 
green  thing,  either  tree  or  herb  of  the  field,  through 

16  all  the  land  of  E'gypt.  Then  Pha'raoh  called  for 
Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  in  haste;  and  he  said,  I  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord  your  God,  and  against  you. 

17  Now  therefore  forgive,  I  pray  thee,  my  sin  only  this 
once,  and  intreat  the  Lord  your  God,  that  he  may 

18  take  away  from  me  this  death  only.     And  he  went 

19  out  from  Pha'raoh,  and  intreated  the  Lord.  And 
the  Lord  turned  an  exceeding  strong  west  wind, 
which  took  up  the  locusts,  and  drove  them  into  the 
Red  Sea ;  there  remained  not  one  locust  in  all  the 
border  of  E'gypt.  But  the  Lord  hardened  Pha'raoh's 
heart,  and  he  did  not  let  the  children  of  L'ra-el  go. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Stretch  out  thine 
hand  toward  heaven,  that  there  may  be  darkness  over 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  *even  darkness  which  maybe  felt. 

22  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  hand  toward  heaven  ;

and  there  was  a  "thick  darkness  in  all  the  land  of  E'gypt 
three  days: 

23  They  saw  not  one  another,  neither  rose  any  from  his 
place  for  three  days :  ''but  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  had 
light  in  their  dwellings. 

24  ^And  Pha'raoh  called  unto  Mo'ses,  and  "said,  Go  ye, 
serve  the  Lord;  only  let  your  flocks  and  your  herds  be 
stayed:  let  your  ''little  ones  also  go  with  you. 

25  And  Mo'ses  said,  Thou  must  give  fus  also  sacrifices, 
and  burnt  offerings,  that  we  may  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord 
our  God. 

26  Our  cattle  also  shall  go  with  us;  there  shall  not  a 
hoof  be  left  behind ;  for  thereof  must  we  take  to  serve  the 
Lord  our  God ;  and  we  know  not  with  what  we  must  serve 
the  Lord,  until  we  come  thither. 

27  HBut  the  Lord  hardened  Pha'raoh's  heart,  and  he 
would  not  let  them  go. 

28  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  him.  Get  thee  from  me,  take 
heed  to  thyself,  see  my  face  no  more;  for  in  that  day  thou 
seest  my  face  thou  shalt  die. 

29  And  Mo'ses  said.  Thou  hast  spoken  well,  ^I  will  see  thy 
face  again  no  more. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

Tke  Israelites  borrow  jewels  of  their  neighbours— Death  of  the  firstborn. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Yet  will  I  bring  one 
plague  more,  upon  Pha'raoh,  and  upon  E'gypt ;  afterwards 
he  will  let  you  go  hence :  "when  he  shall  let  you  go,  he 
shall  surely  thrust  you  out  hence  altogether. 

2  Speak  now  in  the  ears  of  the  people,  and  let  every  man 
borrow  of  his  neighbour,  and  every  woman  of  her  neigh- 
bour, "jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels  of  gold. 

3  "And  the  Lord  gave  the  people  favour  in  the  sight  of 
the  E-gyp'tians.  Moreover,  the  man  ''Mo'ses  was  very  great 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  sight  of  Pha'raoh's  servants, 
and  in  the  sight  of  the  people. 

4  And  Mo'ses  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  'About  midnight 
will  I  go  out  into  the  midst  of  E'gypt : 

5  And  -^all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  shall  die, 
from  the  firstborn  of  Pha'raoh  that  sitteth  upon  his  throne, 
3ven  unto  the  firstborn  of  the  maidservant  that  is  behind 
the  mill ;  and  all  the  firstborn  of  beasts. 

6  "And  there  shall  be  a  great  cry  throughout  all  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  such  as  there  was  none  like  it,  nor  shall  be  like 
it  any  more. 

7  ''But  against  any  of  the  children  of  Is'rael  'shall  not  a 
dog  move  his  tongue,  against  man  or  beast:  that  ye  may 
know  how  that  the  Lord  doth  put  a  difference  between  the 
E-gyp'tians  and  Is'ra-el. 

8  And  *all  these  thy  servants  shall  come  down  unto  me, 
and  bow  down  themselves  unto  me,  saying.  Get  thee  out, 
and  all  the  people  fthat  follow  thee:  and  after  that  I  will 
go  out.     And  he  went  out  from  Pha'raoh  in  fa  great  anger. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Pha'raoh  shall  not 
hearken  unto  you ;  that  ""my  wonders  may  be  multiplied  in 
the  land  of  E'gypt. 

10  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  did  all  these  wonders  before 
Pha'raoh :  "and  the  Lord  hardened  Pha'raoh's  heart,  so  that 
he  would  not  let  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  go  out  of  his  land. 

CHAPTER   XII. 

Beginning  of  the  year  changed — Passover  instituted — Israelites  driven  out. 

A  ND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  in  the  land 
^  of  E'gypt,  saying, 

2  "This  month  shall  he.  unto  you  the  beginning  of  months : 
it  shall  be  the  first  month  of  the  year  to  you. 

3  lySpeak  ye  unto  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  saying, 
In  the  tenth  day  of  this  month  they  shall  take  to  them 
every  man  a  ||  lamb  according  to  the  house  of  their  fathers, 
a  lamb  for  a  house: 


and  there  was  a  thick   darkness   in  all  the  land  of 

23  E'gypt  three  days ;  they  saw  not  one  another,  neither 
rose  any  from  his  place  for  three  days:  but  all 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  had  light  in  their  dwellings. 

24  And  Pha'raoh  called  unto  Mo'ses,  and  said.  Go  ye 
serve  the  Lord  ;  only  let  your  flocks  and  your  herds 
be  stayed :    let  your   little   ones  also  go  with  you. 

25  And  Mo'ses  said.  Thou  must  also  give  into  our  hand 
sacrifices  and  burnt  offerings,  that  we  may  sacrifice 

26  unto  the  Lord  our  God.  Our  cattle  also  shall  go 
with  us ;  there  shall  not  an  hoof  be  left  behind ;  for 
thereof  must  we  take  to  serve  the  Lord  our  God ;  and 
we  know  not  with  what  we  must  serve  the  I^ord, 

27  until  we  come  thither.  But  the  Lord  "hardened 
Pha'raoh's  heart,  and  he  would   not  let  them  go. 

28  And  Pha'raoh  said  unto  him.  Get  thee  from  me, 
take  heed  to  thyself,  see  my  face  no  more ;  for  in 

29  the  day  thou  seest  my  face  thou  shalt  die.  And 
Mo'ses  said,  Thou  hast  spoken  well;  I  will  see  thy 
face  again  no  more. 

J-i  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Yet  one  plague 
more  will  I  bring  upon  Pha'raoh,  and  upon  E'gypt ; 
afterwards  he  will  let  you  go  hence :  ^when  he  shall 
let  you  go,  he  shall  surely  thrust  you  out  hence  alto- 
2gether.  Speak  now  in  the  ears  of  the  people,  and 
let  them  ask  every  man  of  his  neighbour,  and  every 
woman  of  her  neighbour,  jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels 

3  of  gold.  And  the  Lord  gave  the  people  favour  in 
the  sight  of  the  E-gyp'tians.  Moreover  the  man 
Mo'ses  was  very  great  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the 
sight  of  Pha'raoh's  servants,  and  in  the  sight  of  the 
people. 

4  And  Mo'ses   said,  Thus   saith  the  Lord,  About 

5  midnight  will  I  go  out  into  the  midst  of  E'gypt :  and 
all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  shall  die,  from 
the  firstborn  of  Pha'raoh  that  sitteth  upon  his  throne, 
even  unto  the  firstborn  of  the  maidservant  that  is 

6  behind  the  mill ;  and  all  the  firstborn  of  cattle.  And 
there  shall  be  a  great  cry  throughout  all  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  such  as  there  hath  been  none  like  it,  nor  shall 

7  be  like  it  any  more.  But  against  any  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  not  a  dog  'move  his  tongue,  against 
man  or  beast :  that  ye  may  know  how  that  the  Lord 
doth  put  a  difference  between  the  E-gyp'tians  and 

8  Is'ra-el.  And  all  these  thy  servants  shall  come  down 
unto  me,  and  bow  down  themselves  unto  me,  saying. 
Get  thee  out,  and  all  the  people  that  follow  thee: 
and  after  that  I  will  go  out.  And  he  went  out  from 
Pha'raoh  in  hot  anger. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Pha'raoh  will  not 
hearken  unto  you :  that  my  wonders  may  be  multi 

10  plied  in  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron 
did  all  these  wonders  before  Pha'raoh :  and  the  LoRD 
'hardened  Pha'raoh's  heart,  and  he  did  not  let  tae 
children  of  Is'ra-el  go  out  of  his  land. 

-l-«     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  in  the 

2  land  of  E'gypt,  saying.  This  month  shall  be  unto  you 
the  beginning  of  months :  it  shall  be  the  first  month 

3  of  the  year  to  you.  Speak  ye  unto  all  the  congrega- 
tion of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  In  the  tenth  day  of  this  month 
they  shall  take  to  them  every  man  a  ^lamb,  accord- 
ing to  their  fathers'  houses,  a  lamb  for  an  household:

4  And  if  the  household  be  too  little  for  the  lamb,  let  him 
and  his  neighbour  next  unto  his  house  take  it  according  to 
the  number  of  the  souls ;  every  man  according  to  his  eating 
shall  make  your  count  for  the  lamb. 

5  Your  lamb  shall  be  ''without  blemish,  a  male  fof  the 
first  year:  ye  shall  take  it  out  from  the  sheep  or  from  the 
goats : 

6  And  ye  shall  keep  it  up  until  the  "fourteenth  day  of  the 
same  month :  and  the  whole  assembly  of  the  congregation 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  kill  it  fin  the  evening. 

7  And  they  shall  take  of  the  blood,  and  strike  it  on  the 
two  side  posts,  and  on  the  upper  door  post  of  the  houses, 
wherein  they  shall  eat  it. 

8  And  they  shall  eat  the  flesh  in  that  night,  roast  with 
fire,  and  ''unleavened  bread;  and  with  bitter  herbs  they 
shall  eat  it. 

9  Eat  not  of  it  raw,  nor  sodden  at  all  with  water,  but 
'roast  with  fire ;  his  head  with  his  legs,  and  with  the  pur- 
tenance  thereof. 

10  -^And  ye  shall  let  nothing  of  it  remain  until  the  morning ; 
and  that  which  remaineth  of  it  until  the  morning  ye  shall 
burn  with  fire. 

11  ^And  thus  shall  ye  eat  it ;  with  your  loins  girded,  your 
shoes  on  your  feet,  and  your  staiF  in  your  hand;  and  ye 
shall  eat  it  in  haste:  "it  is  the  Lord's  passover. 

12  For  I  *will  pass  through  the  land  of  E'gypt  this  night, 
and  will  smite  all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  both 
man  and  beast;  and  'against  all  the  ||gods  of  E'gypt  I  will 
execute  judgment :  *I  am  the  Lord. 

13  And  the  blood  shall  be  to  you  for  a  token  upon  the 
houses  where  ye  are :  and  when  I  see  the  blood,  I  will  pass 
over  you,  and  the  plague  shall  not  be  upon  you  fto  destroy 
you,  when  I  smite  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

14  And  this  day  shall  be  unto  you  'for  a  memorial ;  and 
ye  shall  keep  it  a  "feast  to  the  Lord  throughout  your  genera- 
tions :  ye  shall  keep  it  a  feast  "by  an  ordinance  for  ever. 

15  "Seven  days  shall  ye  eat  unleavened  bread;  even  the  first 
day  ye  shall  put  away  leaven  out  of  your  houses  :  for  who- 
soever eateth  leavened  bread  from  the  first  day  until  the 
seventh  day,  "that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  Is'ra-el. 

16  And  in  the  first  day  there  shall  be  'a  holy  convocation, 
and  in  the  seventh  day  there  shall  be  a  holy  convocation 
to  you ;  no  manner  of  work  shall  be  done  in  them,  save 
that  which  every  f man  must  eat,  that  only  may  be  done 
of  you. 

17  And  ye  shall  observe  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread ; 
for  ''in  this  selfsame  day  have  I  brought  your  armies  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt :  therefore  shall  ye  observe  this  day  in 
your  generations  by  an  ordinance  for  ever. 

18  Xin  the  first  month,  on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  month 
at  even,  ye  shall  eat  unleavened  bread,  until  the  one  and 
twentieth  day  of  the  month  at  even. 

19  'Seven  days  shall  there  be  no  leaven  found  in  your 
houses  :  for  whosoever  eateth  that  which  is  leavened,  "even 
that  soul  shall  be  cut  ofl"  from  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, 
whether  he  be  a  stranger,  or  born  in  the  land. 

20  Ye  shall  eat  nothing  leavened ;  in  all  your  habitations 
shall  ye  eat  unleavened  bread. 

21  TfThen  Mo'ses  called  for  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
said  unto  them,  *Draw  out  and  take  you  a  ||  lamb  according 
to  your  families,  and  kill  the  passover. 

22  •'And  ye  shall  take  a  bunch  of  hyssop,  and  dip  it  in  the 
blood  that  is  in  the  basin,  and  "strike  the  lintel  and  the  two 
side  posts  with  the  blood  that  is  in  the  basin  ;  and  none  of 
you  shall  go  out  at  the  door  of  his  house  until  the  morning. 

23  "For  the  Lord  will  pass  through  to  smite  the  E-gyp'tians ; 
and  when  he  seeth  the  blood  upon  the  lintel,  and  on  the  two 
side  posts,  the  Lord  will  pass  over  the  door,  and  ''will  not 
suflfer  "the  destroyer  to  come  in  unto  your  houses  to  smite  you. 


4  and  if  the  household  be  too  little  for  a  lamb,  then 
shall  he  and  his  neighbour  next  unto  his  house  take 
one  according  to  the  niimber  of  the  souls ;  ac- 
cording to  every  man's  eating  ye  shall  make  your 

5  count  for  the  lamb.  Your  lamb  shall  be  without 
blemish,  a  male  of  the  first  year :  ye   shall  take   it 

6  from  the  sheep,  or  from  the  goats :  and  ye  shall  keep 
it  up  until  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  same  month : 
and  the   whole   assembly   of   the   congregation    of 

7  Is'ra-el  shall  kill  it  'at  even.  And  they  shall  take 
of  the  blood,  and  put  it  on  the  two  side  posts  and 
on  the   lintel,  upon   the  houses  wherein  they  shall 

8  eat  it.  And  they  shall  eat  the  flesh  in  that  night, 
roast  with  fire,  and  unleavened  bread ;  with  bitter 

9  herbs  they  shall  eat  it.  Eat  not  of  it  raw,  nor  sod- 
den at  all  with  water,  but  roast  with  fire ;  its  head 

10  with  its  legs  and  with  the  inwards  thereof  And  ye 
shall  let  nothing  of  it  remain  until  the  morning; 
but  that  M'hich  remaineth  of  it  until  the  morning  ye 

11  shall  burn  with  fire.  And  thus  shall  ye  eat  it ;  with 
your  loins  girded,  your  shoes  on  your  feet,  and  your 
staff  in  your  hand :  and  ye  shall  eat  it  in  haste :  it 

12  is  the  Lord's  passover.  For  I  will  go  through  the 
land  of  E'gypt  in  that  night,  and  will  smite  all  the 
firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  both  man  and  beast ; 
and  against  all  the  gods  of  E'gypt  I  will  execute 

13 judgements :  I  am  the  Lord.  And  the  blood  shall 
be  to  you  for  a  token  upon  the  houses  where  ye  are  : 
and  when  I  see  the  blood,  I  will  pass  over  you,  and 
there  shall  no  plague  be  upon  you  ^to  destroy  you, 

14  when  I  smite  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  this  day 
shall  be  unto  you  for  a  memorial,  and  ye  shall  keep 
it  a  feast  to  the  Lord  :  throughout  your  genera- 
tions ye  shall  keep  it  a  feast  by  an  ordinance  for 

15 ever.  Seven  days  shall  ye  eut  unleavened  bread; 
even  the  first  day  ye  shall  put  away  leaven  out  of 
your  houses:  for  whosoever  eateth  leavened  bread 
from  the  first  day  until  the  seventh  day,  that  soul 

16  shall  be  cut  off  from  Is'ra-el.  And  in  the  first  day 
there  shall  be  to  you  an  holy  convocation,  and  in 
the  seventh  day  an  holy  convocation ;  no  manner  of 
work  shall  be  done  in  them,  save  that  which   every 

17  man  must  eat,  that  only  may  be  done  of  you.  And 
ye  shall  observe  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread ;  for 
in  this  selfsame  day  have  I  brought  your  hosts  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt :  therefore  shall  ye  observe 
this  day  throughout  your  generations  by  an  ordi- 

18  nance  for  ever.  In  the  first  month,  on  the  fourteenth 
day  of  the  month  at  even,  ye  shall  eat  unleavened 
bread,  until  the  one  and  twentieth  day  of  the  month 

19  at  even.  Seven  days  shall  there  be  no  leaven  found 
in  your  houses :  for  whosoever  eateth  that  which  is 
leavened,  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  the  con- 
gregation of  Is'ra-el,  whether  he  be  a  sojourner,  or 

20  one  that  is  born  in  the  land.  Ye  shall  eat  nothing 
leavened;  in  all  your  habitations  shall  ye  eat  un- 
leavened bread, 

21  Then  Mo'ses  called  for  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and

24  And  ye  shall  observe  this  thing  for  an  ordinance  to  thee 
and  to  thy  sons  for  ever. 

25  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  ye  be  come  to  the  land 
which  the  Lord  will  give  you/accordingas  he  hath  promised, 
that  ye  shall  keep  this  service. 

26  'And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  your  children  shall 
say  unto  you.  What  mean  ye  by  this  service  ? 

27  Tk..  ye  shall  say,  ■'^It  is  the  sacrifice  of  the  Lord's 
passover,  who  passed  over  the  houses  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  in  E'gypt,  when  he  smote  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  de- 
livered our  houses.  And  the  people  "bowed  the  head  and 
worshipped. 

28  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  away,  and  Mid  as  the 
Lord  had  commanded  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  so  did  they. 

29  ^'And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at  midnight  *the  Lord 
smote  all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  'from  the  first- 
born of  Pha'raoh  that  sat  on  his  throne  unto  the  firstborn 
of  the  captive  that  was  in  tue  fdungeon ;  and  all  the  first- 
born of  cattle. 

30  And  Pha'raoh  rose  up  in  the  night,  he,  and  all  his 
servants,  and  all  the  E-gyp'tians;  and  there  was  a  '"great 
cry  in  E'gypt :  for  there  was  not  a  house  where  there  was  not 
one  dead. 

31  l[And  "he  called  for  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  by  night,  and 
said,  Rise  up,  and  get  you  forth  from  among  my  people, 
"both  ye  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  go,  serve  the  Lord, 
as  ye  have  said. 

32  "Also  take  your  flocks  and  your  herds,  as  ye  have  said, 
and  be  gone ;  and  'bless  me  also. 

33  'And  the  E-gyp'tians  were  urgent  upon  the  people,  that 
they  might  send  them  out  of  the  land  in  haste ;  for  they 
said,  'We  be  all  dead  men. 

34  And  the  people  took  their  dough  before  it  was  leavened, 
their  ||  kneadingtroughs  being  bound  up  in  their  clothes 
upon  their  shoulders. 

35  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  according  to  the  word 
of  Mo'ses ;  and  they  borrowed  of  the  E-gyp'tians  'jewels  of 
silver,  and  jewels  of  gold,  and  raiment : 

36  "And  the  Lord  gave  the  people  favour  in  the  sight  of 
the  E-gyp'tians,  so  that  they  lent  unto  them  such  things  as 
they  required :  and  ^they  spoiled  the  E-gyp'tians. 

37  ^And  "the  children  of  Is'ra-el  journeyed  frora'Ra-me'ses 
to  Suc'coth,  about  "six  hundred  thousand  on  foot  that  were 
men,  besides  children. 

38  And  fa  mixed  multitude  went  up  also  with  them;  and 
flocks,  and  herds,  even  very  much  cattle. 

39  And  they  baked  unleavened  cakes  of  the  dough  which 
they  brought  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  for  it  was  not  leavened; 
because  '"they  were  thrust  out  of  E'gypt,  and  could  not  tarry, 
neither  had  they  prepared  for  themselves  any  victuals. 

40  ^Now  the  sojourning  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  who 
dwelt  in  E'gypt  was  "four  hundred  and  thirty  years. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  the  four  hundred 
and  thirty  years,  even  the  selfsame  day  it  came  to  pass, 
that  all  ''the  hosts  of  the  Lord  went  out  from  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

42  It  is  t'a  night  to  be  much  observed  unto  the  Lord 
for  bringing  them  out  from  the  land  of  E'gypt :  this  is  that 
night  of  the  Lord  to  be  observed  of  all  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  in  their  generations. 

43  •^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  This  is  ■'the 
ordinance  of  the  passover  :  There  shall  no  stranger  eat  thereof: 

44  But  every  man's  servant  that  is  bought  for  money,  when 
thou  hast  "circumcised  him,  then  shall  he  eat  thereof. 

45  ''A  foreigner  and  a  hired  servant  shall  not  eat  thereof. 

46  In  one  house  shall  it  be  eaten  ;  thou  shalt  not  carry 
forth  aught  of  the  flesh  abroad  out  of  the  house;  'neither 
shall  ye  break  a  bone  thereof. 

47  'All  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  shall  fkeep  it. 


24  And  ye  shall   observe  this  thing  for  an  ordinance 

25  to  thee  and  to  thy  sons  for  ever.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  ye  be  come  to  the  land  which 
the  Lord  will  give  you,  according  as  he  hath  prom- 

26  ised,  that  ye  shall  keep  this  service.  And  it  shall 
come   to   pass,  when   your  children  shall  say  unto 

27  you.  What  mean  ye  by  this  service  ?  that  ye  shall 
say,  It  is  the  sacrifice  of  the  Lord's  passover,  'who 
passed  over  the  houses  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
in  E'gypt,  when  he  smote  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  de- 
livered  our  houses.      And   the   people   bowed  the 

28  head  and  worshipped.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
went  and  did  so ;  as  the  Lord  had  commanded 
Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  so  did  they. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass  at  midnight,  that  the  Lord 
smote  all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  from 
the  firstborn  of  Pha'raoh  that  sat  on  his  throne  unto 
the  firstborn  of  the  captive  that  was  in  the  dungeon ; 

30  and  all  the  firstborn  of  cattle.  And  Pha'raoh  rose 
up  in  the  night,  he,  and  all  his  servants,  and  all  the 
E-gyp'tians ;  and  there  was  a  great  cry  in  E'gypt ;  for 
there  was  not  a  house  where  there  was  not  one  dead. 

31  And  he  called  for  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  by  night,  and 
said.  Rise  up,  get  you  forth  from  among  my  people, 
both  ye  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  go,  serve 

32  the  Lord,  as  ye  have  said.  Take  both  your  flocks 
and  your  herds,  as  ye  have  said,  and  be  gone ;   and 

33  bless  me  also.  And  the  E-gyp'tians  were  urgent 
upon  the  people,  to  send  them  out  of  the  land  in 

34 haste;  for  they  said,  We  be  all  dead  men.  And 
the  people  took  their  dough  before  it  was  leavened, 
their   kneadingtroughs    being    bound    up    in    their 

35  clothes  upon  their  shoulders.  And  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  did  according  to  the  word  of  Mo'ses;  and 
they  asked  of  the  E-gyp'tians  jewels  of  silver,  and 

36jewels  of  gold,  and  raiment :  and  the  Lord  gave 
the  people  favour  in  the  sight  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  so 
that  they  let  them  have  what  they  asked.  And 
they  spoiled  the  E-gyp'tians. 

37  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  journeyed  from  Ra- 
me'ses  to  Suc'coth,  about  six  hundred  thousand  on 

38  foot  that  were  men,  beside  children.  And  a  mixed 
multitude  went  up  also  with  them ;  and  flocks,  and 

39  herds,  even  very  much  cattle.  And  they  baked  un- 
leavened cakes  of  the  dough  which  they  brought 
forth  out  of  E'gypt,  for  it  was  not  leavened ;  because 
they  were  thrust  out  of  E'gypt,  and  could  not  tarry, 
neither  had  they  prepared  for  themselves  any  victual. 

40  Now  the  sojourning  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
they  sojourned   in    E'gypt,  was   four  hundred  and 

41  thirty  years.  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of 
four  hundred  and  thirty  years,  even  the  selfsame 
day  it  came  to  pass,  that  all  the  hosts  of, the  Lord 

42  went  out  from  the  land  of  E'gypt.  It  is  ^a  night  to

the  Lord,  to  be  much  observed  of  all  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  throughout  their  generations. 

43  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  This  is 
the  ordinance  of  the  passover :  there  shall  no  alien  eat 

44  thereof:  but  every  man's  servant  that  is  bought  for 
money,  when  thou  hast  circumcised  him,  then  shall 

45  he  eat  thereof.     A  sojourner  and  an  hired  servant 

46  shall  not  eat  thereof  In  one  house  shall  it  be  eaten ;

out    of  the  house;    neither  shall  ye  break  a   bone

keep  the  passover  to  the  Lord,  let  all  his  males  be  circum- 
cised, and  then  let  him  come  near  and  keep  it;  and  he  shall 
be  as  one  that  is  born  in  the  land :  for  no  uncircumcised 
person  shall  eat  thereof. 

49  "One  law  shall  be  to  him  that  is  homeborn,  and  unto 
the  stranger  that  sojourneth  among  you. 

50  Thus  did  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  as  the  Loed  com- 
manded Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  so  did  they. 

51  "And  it  came  to  pass  the  selfsame  day,  that  the  Lord 
did  bring  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt 
"by  their  armies. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

Thg  Israelites  go  out  of  Egypt — Tke  pillar  of  a  cloud,  and  the  piUar  of  fire. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,     . 
2  "Sanctify  unto  me  all  the  firstborn,  whatsover  openeth 
the  womb  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  both  of  man  and 
of  beast :  it  is  mine. 

3  ^And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  people,  ""Remember  this  day, 
in  which  ye  came  out  from  E'gypt,  out  of  the  house  of 
fbondage;  for  "by  strength  of  hand  the  Lord  brought 
you  out  from  this  place:  ''there  shall  no  leavened  bread 
be  eaten. 

4  'This  day  came  ye  out  in  the  month  A'bib. 

5  ^And  it  shall  be  when  the  Lord  shall  ^  bring  thee  into 
the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Hit'tites,  and  the  Am'o- 
rites,  and  the  Hi'vites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  which  he  "sware 
unto  thy  fathers  to  give  thee,  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and 
honey,  "that  thou  shalt  keep  this  service  in  this  month. 

6  'Seven  days  thou  shalt  eat  unleavened  bread,  and  in  the 
seventh  day  shall  be  a  feast  to  the  Lord. 

7  Unleavened  bread  shall  be  eaten  seven  days ;  and  there 
shall  *no  leavened  bread  be  seen  with  thee,  neither  shall 
there  be  leaven  seen  with  thee  in  all  thy  quarters. 

8  ^And  thou  shalt  'shew  thy  son  in  that  day,  saying. 
This  is  done  because  of  that  which  the  Lord  did  unto  me 
when  I  came  forth  out  of  E'gypt. 

9  And  it  shall  be  for  ""a  sign  unto  thee  upon  thine  hand, 
and  for  a  memorial  between  thine  eyes,  that  the  Lord's 
law  may  be  in  thy  mouth :  for  with  a  strong  hand  hath  the 
Lord  brought  thee  out  of  E'gypt. 

10  "Thou  shalt  therefore  keep  this  ordinance  in  his  season 
from  year  to  year. 

11  ^And  it  shall  be  when  the  Lord  shall  bring  thee  into 
the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  as  he  sware  unto  thee  and  to 
thy  fathers,  and  shall  give  it  thee, 

12  "That  thou  shalt  fset  apart  unto  the  Lord  all  that 
openeth  the  matrix,  and  every  firstling  that  cometh  of  a 
beast  which  thou  hast ;  the  male  shaU  be  the  Lord's. 

13  And  "every  firstling  of  an  ass  thou  shalt  redeem  with  a 
lamb  ;  and  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem  it,  then  thou  shalt  break 

his  neck :  and  all  the  firstborn  of  man  among  thy  children 
'shalt  thou  redeem. 

14  ^'And  it  shall  be  when  thy  son  asketh  thee  fin  time  to 
come,  saying,  What  is  this?  that  thou  shalt  say  unto  him, 
'By  strength  of  hand  the  Lord  brought  us  out  from  E'gypt, 
from  the  house  of  bondage : 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Pha'raoh  would  hardly  let 
us  go,  that  'the  Lord  slew  all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  both  the  firstborn  of  man,  and  the  firstborn  of 
beast:  therefore  I  sacrifice  to  the  Lord  all  that  openeth  the 
matrix,  being  males ;  but  all  the  firstborn  of  my  children  I 
redeem. 

16  And  it  shall  be  for  "a  token  upon  thine  hand,  and  for 
frontlets  between  thine  eyes :  for  by  strength  of  hand  the 
Lord  brought  us  forth  out  of  E'gypt. 

17  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Pha'raoh  had  let  the  peo- 
ple go,  that  God  led  them  not  through  the  way  of  the 
•knd  of  the  Phirlis'tines,  although  that  wcw.  near ;  for  God 


48  And  when  a  stranger  shall  sojourn  with  thee,  and 
will  keep  the  passover  to  the  Lord,  let  all  his  males 
be  circumcised,  and  then  let  him  come  near  and 
keep  it ;  and  he  shall  be  as  one  that  is  born  in  the 
land :  but  no  uncircumcised  person  shall  eat  thereof. 

49  One  law  shall  be  to  him  that  is  homeborn,  and  unto 

50  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  among  you.  Thus  did 
all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  as  the  Lord  commanded 

51  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  so  did  they.  And  it  came  to 
pass  the  selfsame  day,  that  the  Lord  did  bring  the 
children  of  Is'rael  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  by  their 
hosts. 

J-^  I  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  Sanctify 
unto-  me  all  the  firstborn,  whatsoever  openeth  the 
womb  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  both  of  man 
and  of  beast :  it  is  mine. 

3  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  people.  Remember  this 
day,  in  which  ye  came  out  from  E'gypt,  out  of  the 
house  of  'bondage;  for  by  strength  of  hand  the 
Lord  brought  you  out  from  this  place:  there  shall 

4  no  leavened  bread  be  eaten.     This  day  ye  go  forth 

5  in  the  month  A'bib.  And  it  shall  be  when  the  Lord 
shall  bring  thee  into  the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ite,  and 
the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Hi'vite,  and 
the  Jeb'u-site,  which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers  to 
give  thee,  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  that 

6  thou  shalt  keep  this  service  in  this  month.  Seven 
days  thou   shalt   eat  unleavened  bread,  and  in  the 

7  seventh  day  shall  be  a  feast  to  the  Lord.  Un- 
leavened bread  shall  be  eaten  throughout  the  seven 
days;  and  there  shall  no  leavened  bread  be  seen 
with  thee,  neither  shall  there  be   leaven  seen  with 

8  thee,  in  all  thy  borders.  And  thou  shalt  tell  thy 
son  in  that  day,  saying.  It  is  because  of  that  which 
the  Lord  did  for  me  when  I  came  forth  out  of 

9  E'gypt.     And  it  shall  be  for  a  sign  unto  thee  upon 
thine  hand,  and  for  a  memorial  between  thine  eyes, 
that  the  law  of  the  Lord  may  be  in  thy  mouth 
for  with  a  strong  hand  hath  the  Lord  brought  thee 

10  out  of  E'gypt.  Thou  shalt  therefore  keep  this  ordi 
nance  in  its  season  from  year  to  year. 

11  And  it  shall  be  when  the  Lord  shall  bring  thee 
into  the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ite,  as   he  sware  unto 

12  thee  and  to  thy  fathers,  and  shall  give  it  thee,  that 
thou  shalt  ^set  apart  unto  the  Lord  all  that  openeth 
the  womb,  and  every  firstling  which  thou  hast  that 
cometh  of  a  beast ;  the  males  shall  be  the  Lord's. 

13  And  every  firstling  of  an  ass  thou  shalt  redeem  with 
a  ^lamb ;  and  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem  it,  then  thou 
shalt  break  its  neck  :  and  all  the  firstborn  of  man 

14  among  thy  sons  shalt  thou  redeem.  And  it  shall  be 
when  thy  son  asketh  thee  in  time  to  come,  saying. 
What  is  this?  that  thou  shalt  say  unto  him.  By 
strength   of  hand  the  Lord  brought  us  out  from 

15 E'gypt,  from  the  house  of  'bondage:  and  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Pha'raoh  *would  hardly  let  us  go,  that 
the  Lord  slew  all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
both  the  firstborn  of  man,  and  the  firstborn  of  beast : 
therefore  I  sacrifice  to  the  Lord  all  that  openeth  the 
womb,  being  males ;  but  all  the  firstborn  of  my  sons 

161  redeem.  And  it  shall  be  for  a  sign  upon  thine 
hand,  and  for  frontlets  between  thine  eyes:  for  by 
strength  of  hand  the  Lord  brought  us  forth  out  of 
E'gypt. 

17  And  it  came  topass,  when  Pha'raoh  had  let  the  peo- 
ple go,  that  God  led  theni  not  by  the  way  of  the  land 
of  the  Phi- lis' tines,  although  that  was  near;  for  God

said,  Lest -perad venture  the  people  "repent  when  they  see 
war,  and  "they  return  to  E'gypt : 

18  But  God  'led  the  people  about,  through  the  way  of  the 
wilderness  of  the  Red  sea :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went 
up  I]  harnessed  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

19  And  Mo'ses  took  the  bones  of  Jo'seph  with  him  :  for  he 
had  straitly  sworn  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  "God  will 
■surely  visit  you ;  and  ye  shall  carry  up  my  bones  away 
hence  with  you. 

20  ^And  'they  took  their  journey  from  Suc'coth,  and 
encamped  in  E'tham,  in  the  edge  of  the  wilderness. 

21  And  ''the  Loed  went  before  them  by  day  in  a  pillar  of 
a  cloud,  to  lead  them  the  way ;  and  by  night  in  a  pillar  of 
fire,  to  give  them  light ;  to  go  by  day  and  night. 

22  He  took  not  away  the  pillar  of  the  cloud  by  day,  nor 
the  pillar  of  fire  by  night,  from  before  the  people. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Pharaoh  pursueth  the  Israelites— The  Egyptians  drowned  in  the  Red  sea. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying. 
Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "that  they  turn  and 
encamp  before  ''Pi'ha-hi'roth,  between  "Mig'dol  and  the  sea, 
over  against  Ba'al-ze'phon :   before  it  shall  ye  encamp  by 
the  sea. 

3  For  Pha'raoh  will  say  of  the  children  of  Is'rael,  ''They  are 
entangled  in  the  land,  the  wilderness  hath  shut  them  in. 

4  And  ''I  will  harden  Pha'raoh's  heart,  that  he  shall  follow 
after  them;  and  I  •'^will  be  honoured  upon  Pha'raoh,  and 
upon  all  his  host;  "that  the  E-gyp'tians  may  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord.     And  they  did  so. 

5  ^  And  it  was  told  the  king  of  E'gypt  that  the  people  fled  : 
and  *the  heart  of  Pha'ra./h  and  of  his  servants  was  turned 
against  the  people,  and  they  said,  Why  have  we  done  this, 
that  we  have  let  Is'ra-el  go  from  serving  us  ? 

6  And  he  made  ready  his  chariot,  and  took  his  people 
with  him  : 

7  And  he  took  'six  hundred  chosen  chariots,  and  all  the 
chariots  of  E'gypt,  and  captains  over  every  one  of  them. 

8  And  the  Lord  ^hardened  the  heart  of  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt,  and  he  pursued  after  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and 
'the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  out  with  a  high  hand. 

9  But  the  "E-gyp'tians  pursued  after  them,  all  the  horses 
and  chariots  of  Pha'raoh,  and  his  horsemen,  and  his  army, 
and  overtook  them  encamping  by  the  sea,  beside  Pi'ha- 
hi'roth,  before  Ba'al-ze'phon. 

10  ^And  when  Pha'raoh  drew  nigh,  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
lifted  up  their  eyes,  and,  behold,  the  E-gyp'tians  marched 
after  them  ;  and  they  were  sore  afraid  :  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  "cried  out  unto  the  Lord. 

11  "And  they  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Because  there  were  no 
graves  in  E'gypt,  hast  thou  taken  us  away  to  die  in  the  wil- 
derness? wherefore  hast  thou  dealt  thus  with  us,  to  carry 
us  forth  out  of  E'gypt  ? 

12  "Is  not  this  the  word  that  we  did  tell  thee  in  E'gypt, 
saying.  Let  us  alone,  that  we  may  serve  the  E-gyp'tians? 
For  it  had  been  better  for  us  to  serve  the  E-gyp'tians,  than 
that  we  should  die  in  the  wilderness. 

13  ^And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  people,  'Fear  ye  not,  stand 
still,  and  see  the  salvation  of  the  Lord,  which  he  will  shew 
to  you  to-day:  ||for  the  E-gyp'tians  whom  ye  have  seen 
to-day,  ye  shall  see  them  again  no  more  for  ever. 

14  'The  Lord  shall  fight  for  you,  and  ye  shall  'hold  your 
peace. 

15  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Wherefore  criest 
thou  unto  me  ?  speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  they 
go  forward  : 

16  But  'lift  thou  up  thy  rod,  and  stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  sea,  and  divide  it :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
shall  go  on  dry  ground  through  the  midst  of  the  sea. 


said.   Lest   peradventure   the   people   repent    when 

18  they  see  war,  and  they  return  to  E'gypt :  but  God 
led  the  people  about,  by  the  way  of  the  wilderness 
by  the  Red  Sea  :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  up 

19  armed  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  Mo'ses  took 
the  bones  of  Jo'seph  with  him :  for  he  had  straitly 
sworn  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  God  will  surely 
visit  you ;  and  ye  shall  carry    up  my   bones   away 

20  hence  with  you.  And  they  took  their  journey  from 
Suc'coth,  and  encamped  in  E'tham,  in  the  edge  of  the 

21  wilderness.  And  the  Lord  went  before  them  by 
day  in  a  pillar  of  cloud,  to  lead  them  the  way  ;  and 
by  night  in  a  pillar  of  fire,  to  give  them  light ;  that 

22  they  might  go  by  day  and  by  night :  'the  pillar  of 
cloud  by  day,  and  the  pillar  of  fire  by  night,  de- 
parted not  from  before  the  people. 

4-'*^  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Speak 
unto  the  children  of  Is-rael,  that  they  turn  back  and 
encamp  before  Pi'ha-hi'roth,  between  Mig'dol  and  the 
sea,  before  Ba'al-ze'phon  :  over  aganist  it  shall  ye 

3  encamp  by  the  sea.  And  Pha'raoh  will  say  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  They  are  entangled  in  the  land, 

4  the  wilderness  hath  shut  them  in.  And  I  will 
^harden  Pha'raoh's  heart,  and  he  shall  follow  after 
tbem  ;  and  I  will  get  me  honour  upon  Pha'raoh,  and 
upon  all  his  host;  and  the  E-gyp'tians  shall  know 

5  that  I  am  the  Lord.  And  they  did  so.  And  it 
was  told  the  king  of  E'gypt  that  the  people  were 
fled:  and  the  heart  of  Pha'raoh  and  of  his  servants 
was  changed  towards  the  people,  and  they  said. 
What  is  this  we  have  done,  that  we  have  let  Is'ra-el 

6 go    from    serving    us?     And    he    made    ready  his 

7*chariot,  and  took  his  people  with  him  :  and  he  took 

six  hundred  chosen  chariots,  and  all  the  chariots  of 

8  E'gypt,  and  captains  over  all  of  them.  And  the 
Lord  hardened  the  heart  of  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt, 
and  he  pursued  after  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  :  for  the 

9  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  out  with  an  high  hand.  And 
the  E-gyp'tians  pursued  after  them,  all  the  horses  and 
chariots  of  Pha'raoh,  and  his  horsemen,  and  his 
army,  and  overtook  them   encamping  by   the    sea, 

10  besidePi'ha-hi'roth, before  Ba'al-ze'phon.  And  when 
Pha'raoh  drew  nigh,  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  lifted  up 
their  eyes,  and,  behold,  the  E-gyp'tians  marched  after 
them  ;  and  they  were  sore  afraid  :  and  the  children 

11  of  Is'ra-el  cried  out  unto  the  Lord.  And  they  said 
unto  Mo'ses,  Because  there  were  no  graves  in  E'gypt, 
hast  thou  taken  us  away  to  die  in  the  wilderness? 
wherefore  hast  thou  dealt  thus  with  us,  to  bring  us 

12 forth  out  of  E'gypt?  Is  not  this  the  word  that  we 
spake  unto  thee  in  E'gypt,  saying.  Let  us  alone,  that 
we  may  serve  the  E-gyp'tians  ?  For  it  were  better 
for  us  to  serve  the  E-gyp'tians,  than  that  we  should 

13  die  in  the  wilderness.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the 
people.  Fear  ye  not,  stand  still,  and  see  the  salvation 
of  the  Lord,  which  he  will  work  for  you  to-day: 
'for  the  E-gyp'tians  whom  ye  have  seen  to-day,  ye 

14  shall  see  them  again  no  more  for  ever.  The  Lord 
shall  fight  for  you,  and  ye  shall  hold  your  peace. 

15  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Wherefore 
criest   thoti    unto    me  ?    speak    unto    the    children 

16  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  go  forward.  And  lift  thou 
up  thy  ri«d,  and  stretch  out  thine  hand  over  the 
sea,  and  divide  it :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall 
go    into    the    midst    of   the    sea    on    dry    ground.

17  And  I,  behold,  I  will  "harden  the  hearts  of  the  E-gyp'- 
tians,  and  they  shall  follow  them :  and  I  will  ^get  me  honour 
upon  Pha'raoh,  and  upon  all  his  host,  upon  his  chariots,  and 
upon  his  horsemen. 

18  And  the  E-gyp'tians  "shall  know  that  I  am.  the  Loed, 
when  I  have  gotten  me  honour  upon  Pha'raoh,  upon  his 
chariots,  and  upon  his  horsemen. 

19  ^And  the  Angel  of  God  'which  went  before  the  camp 
of  Is'ra-el,  removed  and  went  behind  them ;  and  the  pillar 
of  the  cloud  went  from  before  their  face,  and  stood  behind 
them : 

20  And  it  came  between  the  camp  of  the  E-gyp'tians  and  the 
camp  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  "it  was  a  cloud  and  darkness  to  them, 
but  it  gave  light  by  night  to  these :  so  that  the  one  came  not 
near  the  other  all  the  night. 

21  And  Mo'ses  'stretched  out  his  hand  over  the  sea ;  and 
the  Loed  caused  the  sea  to  go  back  by  a  strong  east  wind 
all  that  night,  and  "made  the  sea  dry  land,  and  the  waters 
were  ''divided. 

22  And  'the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  into  the  midst  of  the 
sea  upon  the  dry  ground :  and  the  waters  were  -'a  wall  unto 
them  on  their  right  hand,  and  on  their  left. 

23  ^And  tlie  E-gyp'tians  pursued,  and  went  in  after  them 
to  the  midst  of  the  sea,  even  all  Pha'raoh's  horses,  his  chariots, 
and  his  horsemen. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  the  morning  watch  'the 
Loed  looked  unto  the  host  ofthe  E-gyp'tians  through  the  pil- 
lar of  iire  and  of  the  cloud,  and  troubled  the  host  of  the 
E-gyp'tians. 

25  And  took  off  their  chariot  wheels,  ||that  they  drave 
them  heavily  :  so  that  the  E-gyp'tians  said.  Let  us  flee  from 
the  face  of  Is'ra-el ;  for  the  Loed  *fighteth  for  them  against 
the  E-gyp'tians. 

26  ^And  the  Loed  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  sea,  that  the  waters  may  come  again  upon  the  E-gyp'- 
tians, upon  their  chariots,  and  upon  their  horsemen. 

27  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  hand  over  the  sea,  and 
the  sea  ^returned  to  his  strength  when  the  morning  appeared; 
and  the  E-gyp'tians  fled  against  it ;  and  the  Loed  'foverthrew 
the  E-gyp'tians  in  the  midst  of  the  sea. 

28  And  ""the  waters  returned,  and  "covered  the  chariots, 
and  the  horsemen,  and  all  the  host  of  Pha'raoh  that  came 
into  the  sea  after  them ;  there  remained  not  so  much  as 
one  of  them. 

29  '^\lt  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  walked  upon  dry  land  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea ;  and  the  waters  were  a  wall  unto  them  on 
their  right  hand,  and  on  their  left. 

30  Thus  the  Loed  "saved  Is'ra-el  that  day  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  E-gyp'tians ;  and  Is'ra-el  'saw  the  E-gyp'tians  dead 
upon  the  sea  shore. 

31  And  Is'ra-el  saw  that  great  fwork  which  the  Loed  did 
upon  the  E-gyp'tians  :  and  the  people  feared  the  Loed,  and 
'believed  the  Loed,  and  his  servant  Mo'ses. 

CHAPTER    XV. 

Moses'  song— Waters  at  Marah  are  bitter— The  people  remove  to  Elim. 

THEN  sang  "Mo'ses  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  this  song 
unto  the  Loed,  and  spake,  saying,  I  will  'sing  unto  the 
Loed,  for  he  hath  triumphed  gloriously :  the  horse  and  his 
rider  hath  he  thrown  into  the  sea. 

2  The  Loed  is  my  strength  and  "song,  and  he  is  become  my 
salvation  :  he  is  my  God,  and  I  will  prepare  him  ''a  habita- 
tion ;  my  'father's  God,  and  I  -'^will  exalt  him. 

3  The  Loed  is  a  man  of  "war  :  the  Loed  is  his  *name. 

4  ^Pha'raoh's  chariots  and  his  host  hath  he  cast  into  the 
sea:  *his  chosen  captains  also  are  drowned  in  the  Red  sea. 

5  'The  depths  have  covered  them :  "they  sank  into  the 
bottom  as  a  stone. 


17  And  I,  behold,  I  will  'harden  the  hearts  of  the 
E-gyp'tians,  and  they  shall  go  in  after  them :  and 
I  will  get  me  honour  upon  Pha'raoh,  and  upon  all 
his  host,  upon  his  chariots,  and  upon  his  horsemen 

18  And  the   E-gyp'tians   shall   know   that   I   am  the 
Loed,  when  I  have  gotten  me  honour  upon  Pha' 
raoh,  upon  his  chariots,    and   upon   his   horsemen. 

19  And  the  angel  of  God,  which  went  before  the  camp 
of  Is'ra-el,  removed  and  went  behind  them ;  and 
the    pillar    of  cloud    removed    from  before    them, 

20  and  stood  behind  them :  and  it  came  between  the 
camp  of  E'gypt  and  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  there 
was  the  cloud  and  the  darkness,  yet  gave  it  light  by 
night:  and  the  one  came  not  near  the  other  all  the 

21  night.  And  Mo'ses  stretched  out  his  hand  over  the 
sea;  and  the  Loed  caused  the  sea  to  go  hack  by  a 
strong  east  wind  all  the  night,  and  made  the  sea  dry 

22  land,  and  the  waters  were  divided.     And  the  chil 
dren  of  Is'ra-el  went  into  the  midst  of  the  sea  upon 
the  dry   ground :  and  the  waters  were  a  wall  unto 

23  them  on  their  right  hand,  and  on  their  left.  And 
the  E-gyp'tians  pursued,  and  went  in  after  them  into 
the  midst  of  the  sea,  all  Pha'raoh's  horses,  his  char 

24iots,  and  his  horsemen.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning  watch,  that  the  Loed  looked  forth  upon  the 
host  of  the  E-gyp'tians  through  the  pillar  of  fire  and 
of  cloud,  and  discomfited  the  host  ofthe  E-gyp'tians 

25  And  he  ^took  off  their  chariot  wheels,  Hhat  they 
drave  them  heavily :  so  that  the  E-gyp'tians  said.  Let 
us  flee  from  the  face  of  Is'ra-el ;  for  the  Loed  fighteth 
for  them  against  the  E-gyp'tians. 

26  And  the  Loed  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Stretch  out  thine 
hand  over  the  sea,  that  the  waters  may  come  again 
upon  the  E-gyp'tians,  upon  their  chariots,  and  upon 

27  their  horsemen.  And  Mo'ses  stretched  forth  his  hand 
over  the  sea,  and  the  sea  returned  to  its  ^strength 
when  the  morning  appeared ;  and  the  E-gyp'tians  fled 
against  it ;  and  the  Loed  ^overthrew  the  E-gyp'tians 

28  in  the  midst  of  the  sea.  And  the  waters  returned, 
and  covered  the  chariots,  and  the  horsemen,  even  all 
the  host  of  Pha'raoh  that  went  in  after  them  into 
the  sea;  there  remained  not  so  much  as  one  of  them 

29  But  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  walked  upon  dry  land  in 
the  midst  of  the  sea ;  and  the  waters  were  a  wall 
unto  them  on  their  right  hand,  and  on  their    left. 

30  Thus  the  Loed  saved  Is'ra-el  that  day  out  ofthe  hand 
of  the  E-gyp'tians ;  and  Is'ra-el  saw  the  E-gyp'tians 

31  dead  upon  the  sea  shore.  And  Is'ra-el  saw  the  great 
*work  which  the  Loed  did  upon  the  E-gyp'tians,  and 
the  people  feared  the  Loed  :  and  they  believed  in 
the  Loed,  and  in  his  servant  Mo'ses.

Then  sang  Mo'ses  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  this

*The  Loed  is  my  strength  and  song. 
And  he  is  become  my  salvation  :

6  "Thy  right  hand,  O  Lord,  is  become  glorious  in 
power :  thy  right  hand,  O  Lord,  hath  dashed  in  pieces  the 
enemy. 

7  And  in  the  greatness  of  thine  "excellency  thou  hast 
overthrown  them  that  rose  up  against  thee :  thou  sentest 
forth  thy  wrath,  which  "consumed  them  «as  stubble. 

8  And  'with  the  blast  of  thy  nostrils  the  waters  were 
gathered  together,  'the  floods  stood  upright  as  a  heap,  and 
the  depths  were  congealed  in  the  heart  of  the  sea. 

9  'The  enemy  said,  I  will  pursue,  I  will  overtake,  I 
will  "divide  the  spoil;  my  lust  shall  be  satisfied  upon 
them ;  I  will  draw  my  sword,  my  hand  shall  ||  destroy 
them. 

10  Thou  didst  "'blow  with  thy  wind,  "the  sea  covered 
them :  they  sank  as  lead  in  the  mighty  waters. 

11  'Who  is  like  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  among  the  ||gods? 
who  is  like  thee,  "glorious  in  holiness,  fearful  in  praises, 
'doing  wonders? 

12  Thou  stretchedst  out  thy  right  hand,  the  earth  swal- 
lowed them. 

13  Thou  in  thy  mercy  hast  ''led  forth  the  people  which 
thou  hast  redeemed :  thou  hast  guided  them  in  thy  strength 
unto  "thy  holy  habitation. 

14  ■'^The  people  shall  hear,  and  be  afraid :  'sorrow  shall 
take  hold  on  the  inhabitants  of  Pal-es-ti'na. 

15  ''Then  ^he  dukes  of  E'dom  shall  be  amazed ;  *the 
mighty  men  of  Mo'ab,  trembling  shall  take  hold  upon  them ; 
'all  the  inhabitants  of  Ca'naan  shall  melt  away. 

16  ""Fear  and  dread  shall  fall  upon  them ;  by  the  greatness 
of  thine  arm  they  shall  be  as  still  "as  a  stone  ;  till  thy  peo- 
ple pass  over,  O  Lord,  till  the  people  pass  over  "tohich  thou 
hast  purchased. 

17  Thou  shalt  bring  them  in,  and  "plant  them  in  the  mount- 
ain of  thine  inheritance,  in  the  place,  O  Lord,  which  thou 
hast  made  for  thee  to  dwell  in ;  in  the  'sanctuary,  O  Lord, 
which  thy  hands  have  established. 

18  ""The  Lord  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

19  For  the  'horse  of  Pha'raoh  went  in  with  his  chari- 
ots and  with  his  horsemen  into  the  sea,  and  the  Lord 
brought  again  the  waters  of  the  sea  upon  them;  but 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  on  dry  land  in  the  midst  of 
the  sea. 

20  ^[And  Mir'i-am  "the  prophetess,  "the  sister  of  Aa'ron, 
"took  a  timbrel  in  her  hand ;  and  all  the  women  went  out 
after  her  'with  timbrels  and  with  dances. 

21  And  Mir'i-am  "answered  them,  'Sing  ye  to  the  Lord, 
for  he  hath  triumphed  gloriously  :  the  horse  and  his  rider 
hath  he  thrown  into  the  sea. 

22  So  Mo'ses  brought  Is'ra-el  from  the  Red  sea,  and  they 
went  out  into  the  wilderness  of  °Shur;  and  they  went  three  j 
days  in  the  wilderness,  and  found  no  water. 

23  T[  And  when  they  came  to  ''Ma'rah,  they  could  not  drink 
of  the  waters  of  Ma'rah,  for  they  were  bitter:  therefore 
the  name  of  it  was  called  |1  Ma'rah. 

24  And  the  people  'murmured  against  Mo'ses,  saying, 
What  shall  we  drink  ? 

25  And  he  -^cried  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  shewed 
him  a  tree,  ''which  when  he  had  cast  into  the  waters,  the 
waters  were  made  sweet :  there  he  'made  for  them  a  statute 
and  an  ordinance,  and  there  *he  proved  them, 

26  And  said,  'If  thou  wilt  diligently  hearken  to  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  wilt  do  that  which  is  right  in  his 
sight,  and  wilt  give  ear  to  his  commandments,  and  keep  all 


6  Thy  right  hand,  O  Lord,  is  glorious  in  power. 
Thy  right  hand,0  Lord,  dasheth  in  pieces  the  enemy. 

7  And  in  the  greatness  of  thine  excellency  thou  over- 

throwest  them  that  rise  up  against  thee : 
Thou  sendest  forth  thy  wrath,  it  consumeth  them 
as  stubble. 

8  And  with  the  blast  of  thy  nostrils  the  waters  were 

piled  up. 
The  floods  stood  upright  as  an  heap; 
The  deeps  were  congealed  in  the  heart  of  the  sea. 

9  The  enemy  said, 

I  will  pursue,  I  will  overtake,  I  will  divide  the  spoil : 

My  lust  shall  be  satisfied  upon  them  ; 

I  will  draw  my  sword,  my  hand  shall  destroy  them. 

10  Thou  didst  blow  with  thy  wind,  the  sea  covered  them : 
They  sank  as  lead  in  the  mighty  waters. 

11  Who  is  like  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  among  the  gods? 
Who  is  like  thee,  glorious  in  holiness, 
Fearful  in  praises,  doing  wonders  ? 

12  Thou  stretchedst  out  thy  right  hand, 
The  earth  swallowed  them. 

13  Thou  in  thy  mercy  hast  led  the  people  which  thou 

hast  redeemed  : 
Thou  hast  guided  them  in  thy  strength  to  thy  holy 
habitation. 

14  The  peoples  have  heard,  they  tremble : 

Pangs  have  taken  hold  on  the  inhabitants  of  Phi- 
lis'ti-a. 

15  Then  were  the  dukes  of  E'dom  amazed; 

The  'mighty  men  of  Mo'ab,  trembling  taketh  hold 

upon  them: 
All  the  inhabitants  of  Ca'naan  are  melted  away. 

16  Terror  and  dread  falleth  upon  them; 

By  the  greatness  of  thine  arm  they  are  as  still  asa  stone ; 

Till  thy  people  pass  over,  O  Lord, 

Till  the  people  pass  over  which  thou  hast  'purchased. 

17  Thou  shalt  bring  them  in,  and  plant  them  in  the 

mountain  of  thine  inheritance. 
The  place,  O  Lord,  which  thou  hast  made  for  thee 

to  dwell  in, 
The    sanctuary,  O   Lord,  which   thy   hands  have 

established. 

18  The  Lord  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

19  For  the  horses  of  Pha'raoh  went  in  with  his  chariots 
and  with  his  horsemen  into  the  sea,  and  the  Lord 
brought  again  the  waters  of  the  sea  upon  them ;  but 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  walked  on  dry  land  in  the 

20  midst  of  the  sea.  And  Mir'i-am  the  prophetess,  the 
sister  of  Aa'ron,  took  a  timbrel  in  her  hand ;  and  all 
the  women  went  out  after  her  with  timbrels  and  with 

21  dances.     And  Mir'i-am  answered  them, 

Sing  ye  to  theLoRD,for  he^hath  triumphed  gloriously; 
The  horse  and  his  rider  hath  he  thrown  into  the  sea. 

22  And  Mo'ses  led  Is'ra-el  onward  from  the  Red  Sea, 
and  they  went  out  into  the  wilderness  of  Shur ;  and 
they  went  three  days  in  the  wilderness,  and   found 

23  no  water.  And  when  they  came  to  Ma'rah,  they 
could  not  drink  of  the  waters  of  Ma'rah,  for  they 
were   bitter :  therefore  the   name  of  it  was   called 

24  ^Ma'rah.     And  the  people  murmured  against  Mo'ses, 

25  saying,  What  shall  we  drink  ?  And  he  cried  unto  the 
Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  shewed  him  a  tree,  and  he  cast 
it  into  the  waters,  and  the  waters  were  made  sweet. 
There  he  made  for  them  a  statute  and  an  ordinance, 

26  and  there  he  proved  them ;  and  he  said.  If  thou 
wilt  diligently  hearken  to  the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  wilt  do  that  which  is  right  in  his  eyes,  and 
wilt  give  ear  to   his  commandments,  and  keep  all

which  I  have  brought  upon  the  E-gyp'tians :  for  I  am  the 
Lord  "that  healeth  thee. 

27  ^°And  they  came  to  E'lim,  where  were  twelve  wells 
of  water,  and  threescore  and  ten  palm,  trees :  and  they  en- 
camped there  by  the  waters. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

God  promiseth  bread  from  heaven — Quails  are  sent,  and  manna. 

AND  they  "took  their  journey  from  E'lim,  and  all  the 
congregatiour  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  unto  the 
wilderness  of  'Sin,  which  is  between  E'lim  and  Si'nai,  on 
the  fifteenth  day  of  the  second  month  after  their  departing 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt.  . 

2.  And 'the  whole  congregation  of  the?  children  of  Is'ra-el 
"murmured gainst  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  in  the  wilderness: 

3  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  them,  ''Would  to 
God  we  had  died  by  the  hand  of  the  Lord  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  'when  we  sat  by  the:  flesh  pots,  and  when  we  did 
eat  bread  to  the  full;  for  ye  have  brought  us  forth  into 
this  wilderness,  to  kill  this  whole  assembly  with  hunger. 

4  ^Then  said  the  Lord  unto  Mo'ses,  Behold,  I  will  rain 
■^bread  from  heaven  for  you  ;  and  the  people  shall  go  out  and 
gather  fa  certain  rate  every  day,  that  I  may  "prove  them, 
whether  they  will  walk  in  my  law,  or  no. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  on  the  sixth  day  they 
shall  prepare  tJiai  which  they  bring  in;  and  'it  shall  be 
twice  as  much  as  they  gather  daily. 

6  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  said  unto  all  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  'At  even,  then  ye  shall  know  that  the  Lord  hath 
brought  you  out  from  the  land  of  E'gypt: 

7  And  in  the  morning,  then  ye  shall  see  *the  glory  of  the 
Lord;  for  that  he  heareth  your  murmurings  against  the 
Lord  :  and  'what  are  we,  that  ye  murmur  against  us  ? 

8  And  Mo'ses  said,  This  shall  be  when  the  Lord  shall 
give  you  in  the  evening  flesh  to  eat,  and  in  the  morning 
bread  to  the  full ;  for  that  the  Lord  heareth  your  murmur- 
ings which  ye  murmur  against  him :  and  what  are  we  ?  your 
murmurings  are  not  against  us,  but  "against  the  Lord. 

9  ^And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  Aa'ron,i  Say  unto  all  the  con- 
gregation of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "Come  near  before  the 
Lord  :  for  he  hath  heard  your  murmurings. 

10  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  as  Aa'ron  spake  unto  the  whole 
congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  looked 
toward  the  wilderness,  and,  behold,  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
"appeared  in  the  cloud. 

11  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

12  "I  have  heard  the  murmurings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el: 
speak  unto  them,  saying,  'At  even  ye  shall  eat  flesh,  and  ''in 
the  morning  ye  shall  be  filled  with  bread ;  and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at  even  'the  quails  came  up, 
and  covered  the  camp:  and  in  the  morning 'the  dew  lay 
round  about  the  host. 

14  And  when  the  dew  that  lay  was  gone  up,  behold,  upon 
the  face  of  the  wilderness  there  lay  "a  small  round  thing,  as 
small  as  the  hoar  frost  on  the  ground. 

15  And  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  saw  it,  they  said  one 
to  another,  ||  It  is  manna :  for  they  wist  not  what  it  was. 
And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them,  "^This  is  the  bread  which  the 
Lord  hath  given  you  to  eat, 

16  ^This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord  hath  commanded. 
Gather  of  it  every  man  according  to  his  eating,  "an  omer 
ffor  every  man,  according  to  the  number  of  your  fpersonsj 
take  ye  every  man  for  them  which  are  in  his  tents. 

17  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  so,  and  gathered,  some 
more,  some  less. 

18  And  when  they  did  mete  ii  with  an  omer,  'he  that 
gathered  m^ach   had  nothing  over,  and   he  that  gathered 


his  statutes,  I  will  put  none  of  the  diseases  upon 

thee,  which  I  have  put  upon  the  E-gyp'tians :  for  I 

am  the  Lord  that  healeth  thee. 

27      And  they  came  to  E'lim,  where  were  twelve  springs 

.J  ^  of  water,  and  threescore  and  ten  palm  trees :  and  they 

iO  encamped  there  by  the  waters.  And  they  took  their 

journey  from  E'lim,  and  all  the  congregation  of  the 

children  of  Is'ra-el  came  unto  the  wilderness  of  Sin, 

which  is  between  E'lim  and  Si'nai,  on  the  fifteenth 

day  of  the  second  month  after  their  departing  out  of 

2  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  the  whole  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  murmured  against  Mo'ses  and 

3  against  Aa'ron  in  the  wilderness :  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  them,  Would  that  we  had  died 
by  the  hand  of  the  Lord  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  when 
we  sat  by  the  flesh  pots,  when  we  did  eat  bread  to 
the  full ;  for  ye  have  brought  us  forth  into  this  wil- 
derness, to  kill  this  whole  assembly  with  hunger. 

4  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  Mo'ses,  Behold,  I  will  rain 
bread  from  heaven  for  you ;  and  the  people  shall  go 
out  and  gather  a  day's  portion  every  day,  that  I  may 
prove  them,  whether  they  will  walk  in  my  law,  or  no. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  on  the  sixth  day,  that  they 
shall  prepare  that  which  they  bring  in,  and  it  shall 

6  be  twice  as  much  as  they  gather  daily.  And  Mo'ses 
ajid  Aa'ron  said  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  At 
even,  then  ye  shall  know  that  the  Lord  hath  brought 

7  you  out  from  the  land  of  E'gypt :  and  in  the  morn 
ing,  then  ye   shall  see  the  glory  of  the  Lord;  for 
that  he  heareth  your  murmurings  against  the  Lord 

8  and  what  are  we,  that  ye  murmur  against  us  ?  And 
Mo'ses  said.  This  shall  be,  when  the  Lord  shall  give 
you  in  the  evening  flesh  to  eat,  and  in  the  morning 
bread  to  the  full;  for  that  the  Lord  heareth  your 
murmurings  which  ye  murmur  against  him :  and 
what  are  we?  your  murmurings  are  not  against  us, 

9  but  against  the  Lord.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron, 
Say  unto  all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el, Come  near  before  the  Lord  :  for  he  hath  heard 

10  your  murmurings.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Aa'ron 
spake  unto  the  whole  congregation  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  looked  toward  the  wilderness, 
and,  behold,  the  glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  in  the 

11  cloud.      And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
121  have  heard  the  murmurings  of  the  children  of  Is- 

ra-el :  speak  unto  them,  saying,  'At  even  ye  shall  eat 
flesh,  and  in  the  morning  ye  shall  be  filled  with 
bread ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 

13  God.  And  it  came  to  pass  at  even,  that  the  quails 
came  up,  and  covered  the  camp:  and  in  the  morn- 

14  ing  the  dew  lay  round  about  the  camp.  And  when 
the  dew  that  lay  was  gone  up,  behold,  upon  the  face 
of  the  wilderness  a  small  ^round  thing,  small  as  the 

15  hoar  frost  on  the  ground.  And  when  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  saw  it,  they  said  one  to  another,  'What  is 
it  ?  for  they  wist  not  what  it  was.  And  Mo'ses  said 
unto  them,  It  is  the  bread  which  the  Lord  hath  given 

16  you  to  eat.  This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord  hath 
commanded,  Gather  ye  of  it  every  man  according 
to  his  eating ;  an  omer  a  head,  according  to  the  nurar 
ber  of  your  persons,  shall  ye  take  it,  every  man  for 

17  them  which  are  in  his  tent.  And  the  children  of  Is'- 
18ra-el  did  so,  and  gathered  som«  more,  somfi  less.  And

little  had  no  lack ;  they  gathered  every  man  according  to 
his  eating. 

19  And  Mo'ses  said,  Let  no  man  leave  of  it  till  the  morning. 

20  Notwithstanding  they  hearkened  not  unto  Mo'ses ;  but 
some  of  them  left  of  it  until  the  morning,  and  it  bred 
worms,  and  stank :  and  Mo'ses  was  wroth  with  them. 

21  And  they  gathered  it  every  morning,  every  man  accord- 
ing to  his  eating :  and  when  the  sun  waxed  hot,  it  melted. 

22  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  sixth  day  they 
gathered  twice  as  much  bread,  two  omers  for  one  vian :  and 
all  the  rulers  of  the  congregation  came  and  told  Mo'ses. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  This  is  that  which  the  Lord 
hath  said,  To-morrow  is  "the  rest  of  the  holy  sabbath  unto 
the  Lord  :  bake  that  which  ye  will  bake  to-day,  and  seethe 
that  y vi  will  seethe ;  and  that  which  remaineth  over,  lay  up 
for  you  to  be  kept  until  the  morning. 

24  And  they  laid  it  up  till  the  morning,  as  Mo'ses  bade : 
and  it  did  not  'stink,  neither  was  there  any  worm  therein. 

25  And  Mo'ses  said.  Eat  that  to-day ;  for  to-day  is  a  .sab- 
bath unto  the  Lord  :  to-day  ye  shall  not  find  it  in  the  field. 

26  'Six  days  ye  shall  gather  it;  but  on  the  seventh  day, 
which  is  the  sabbath,  in  it  there  shall  be  none. 

27  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  that  there  went  out  some  of 
the  people  on  the  seventh  day  for  to  gather,  and  they  found 
none. 

28  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  How  long  ''refuse  ye 
to  keep  my  command  lents  and  my  laws  ? 

29  See,  for  that  the  Lord  hath  given  you  the  sabbath, 
therefore  he  giveth  you  on  the  sixth  day  the  bread  of  two 
days:  abide  ye  every  man  in  his  place,  let  no  man  go  out 
of  his  place  on  the  seventh  day. 

30  So  the  people  rested  on  the  seventh  day. 

31  And  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  called  the  name  thereof  Manna : 
and  'it  was  like  coriander  seed,  white ;  and  the  taste  of  it 
was  like  wafers  made  with  honey. 

32  ^And  Mo'ses  said.  This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord 
commandeth.  Fill  an  omer  of  it  to  be  kept  for  your  gener- 
ations ;  that  they  may  see  the  bread  wherewith  I  have  fed 
you  in  the  wilderness,  when  I  brought  you  forth  from  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

33  And  Mb'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  •'^  jLake  a  pot,  and  put  an 
omer  full  of  manna  therein,  and  lay  it  up  before  the  Lord, 
to  be  kept  for  your  generations. 

34  As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  so  Aa'ron  laid  it  up 
"before  the  Testimony,  to  be  kept. 

35  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  eat  manna  ""forty  years, 
'until  they  came  to  a  land  inhabited :  they  did  eat  manna, 
until  they  came  unto  the  borders  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

36  Now  an  omer  i«  the  tenth  part  of  an  ephah. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

The  people  murmur  for  water  at  Rephidim—Amalek  is  overcome. 

AND  "all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
journeyed  from  the  wilderness  of  Sin,  after  their  jour- 
neys, according  to  the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  and  pitched 
in  Reph'i-diin:  and  therre  was  no  water  for  the  people  to 
drink. 

2  'Wherefore  the  people  did  chide  with  Mo'ses,  and  said. 
Give  us  water  that  we  may  drink.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto 
them,  Why  chide  ye  with  me?  wherefore  do  ye  "tempt  the 
Lord  ? 

3  And  the  people  thirsted  there  for  water ;  and  the  people 
''murmured  against  Mo'ses,  and  said.  Wherefore  is  this  that 
thou  hast  brought  us  up  out  of  E'gypt,  to  kill  us  and  our 
children  and  our  cattle  with  thirst? 

4  And  Mo'ses  'cried  unto  the  Lord,  saying,  What  shall  I 
do  unto  this  people  ?  they  be  almost  ready  to  -^ stone  me. 

5  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  "Go  on  before  the 
people,  and  take  with,  thee  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el;  and 


little  had  no  lack;   they  gathered  every  man  ac- 

19  cording  to  his  eating.     And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them, 

20  Let  no  man  leave  of  it  till  the  morning.  Notwith- 
standing they  hearkened  not  unto  Mo'ses ;  but  some 
of  them  left  of  it  until  the  morning,  and  it  bred 
worms,  and  stank :  and  Mo'ses  was  wroth  with  them. 

21  And  they>  gathered  it  morning  by  morning,  every 
man  according  to  his  eating:    and  when  the  sun 

22  waxed  hot,  it  melted.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  sixth  day  they  gathered  twice  as  much  bread, 
two  omers  for  each  one:  and  all  the  rulers  of  the 

23congregation'  came  and  told  Mo'ses.  And  he  said 
unto  them,  This  is  that  which  the  Lord  hath  spoken, 
To-morrow  is  a  solemn  rest,  a  holy  sabbath  unto 
the  Lord  :  bake  that  which  ye  will  bake,  and  seethe 
that  which  ye  will  seethe;  and  all  that  remaineth 
over  lay  up  for  you  to  be  kept  until  the  morning'. 

24  And  they  laid  it  up  till  the  morning,  as  Mo'ses  bade : 
and  it  did  not  stink,  neither  was  there-  any  worm 

25 therein.  And  Mo'ses  said.  Eat  that  to-day;  for  to- 
day is  a  sabbath  unto  the  Lord  :  to-day  ye  shall  not 

26  find  it  in  the  field.  Six  days  ye  shall  gather  it ;  but 
on  the  seventh  day  is  the  sabbath,  in  it  there  shall 

27  be  none.  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day, 
that  there  went  out  some  of  the  people  for  to  gather, 

28  and  they  found  none.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'ses,  How  long  refuse  ye  to  keep  my  command- 

29ments  and  my  laws?  See,  for  that  the  Lord  hath 
given  you  the  sabbath,  therefore  he  giveth  you  on 
the  sixth  day  the  bread  of  two  days;  abide  ye  every 
man  in  his  place,  let  no  man  go  out  of  his  place  on 
30  the  seventh  day.  So  the  people  rested  on  the  sev- 
Slenth  day.  And  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  called  the  name 
thereof 'Manna :  and  it  was  like  coriander  seed,  white ; 
and  the  taste  of  it  was  like  wafers  made  with  honey. 

32  And  Mo'ses  said.  This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord 
hath  commanded.  Let  an  omerful  of  it  be  kept  for 
your  generations ;  that  they  may  see  the  bread  where 
with  I  fed  you  in  the  wilderness,  when  I  brought 

33  you  forth  from  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  Mo'ses  said 
unto  Aa'ron,  Take  a  pot,  and  put  an  omerful  of 
manna  therein,  and  lay  it  up  before  the  Lord,  to  be 

34  kept  for  your  generations.  As  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'ses,  so  Aa'ron  laid  it  up  before  the  Tes- 

35  timony,  to  be  kept.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did 
eat  the  manna  forty  years,  until  they  came  to  a  land 
inhabited;  they  did  eat  the  manna,  until  they  came 

36  unto  the  borders  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan.  Now  an 
omer  is  the  tenth  part  of  an  ephah. 

-I-  /  And  all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
journeyed  from  the  wilderness  of  Sin,  by  their  ^jour- 
neys, according  to  the  commandment  of  the  Lord, 
and  pitched  in  Reph'i-dim :  and  there  was  no  water 
2  for  the  people  to  drink.  Wherefore  the  people 
strove  with  Mo'ses,  and  said.  Give  us  water  that  we 
may  drink.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them.  Why 
strive  ye  with  me  ?  wherefore  do  ye  tempt  the  Lord  ? 
3 And  the  people  thirsted  there  for  water;  and  the 
people  murmured  against  Mo'ses,  and  said.  Where- 
fore hast  thou  brought  us  up  out  of  E'gypt,  to  kill 

4  us  and  our  children  and  our  cattle  with  thirst?  And 
Mo'ses  cried  unto  the  Lord,  saying.  What  shall  I  do 
unto  this  people  ?  they  be  almost  ready  to  stone  me. 

5  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Pass  on  before  the 
people,and  tak«  with  thee  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el ;  and

thy  rod,  wherewith  Hhou  smotest  the  river,  take  in  thine 
hand,  and  go. 

6  'Behold,  I  will  stand  before  thee  there  upon  the  rock  in 
Ho'reb ;  and  thou  shalt  smite  the  rock,  and  there  shall  come 
water  out  of  it,  that  the  people  may  drink.  And  Mo'ses  did 
so  in  the  sight  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  he  called  the  name  of  the   place  *  ||  Mas'sah,  and 
Mer'i-bah,  because  of  the  chiding  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 

and  because  they  tempted  the  Lord,  saying.  Is  the  Lord 
among  us,  or  not? 

8  *T|'Then  came  Am'a-lek,  and  fought  with  Is'ra-el  in 
Reph'i-dim. 

9  And  Mo'^.es  said  unto  "Josh'u-a,  Choose  us  out  men,  and 
go  out,  fight  with  Am'a-lek :  to-morrow  I  will  stand  on  the 
top  of  the  hill  with  "the  rod  of  God  in  mine  hand. 

10  So  Josh'u-a  did  as  Mo'ses  had  said  to  him,  and  fought 
with  Am'a-lek :  and  Mo'ses,  Aa'ron,  and  Hur  went  up  to 
the  top  of  the  hill. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo'ses  "held  up  his  hand, 
that  Is'ra-el  prevailed:  and  when  he  let  down  his  hand, 
Am'a-lek  prevailed. 

12  But  Mo'ses'  hands  were  heavy;  and  they  took  a  stone, 
and  put  it  under  him,  and  he  sat  thereon ;  and  Aa'ron  and 
Hur  stayed  up  his  hands,  the  one  on  the  one  side,  and  the 
other  on  the  other  side;  and  his  hands  were  steady  until 
the  going  down  of  the  sun. 

13  And  Josh'u-a  discomfited  Am'a-lek  and  his  people  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,''Write  this/or  a  memorial 
in  a  book,  and  rehearse  it  in  the  ears  of  Josh'u-a :  for  "I  will  ut- 
terly put  out  the  remembrance  of  Am'a-lek  from  under  heaven. 

15  And  Mo'ses  built  an  altar,  and  called  the  name  of  it 
II  jEHOVAH-nis'si: 

16  For  he  said,  1 1  Because  fthe  Lord  hath  sworn  that  the  Lord 
will  have  war  with  Am'a-lek  from  generation  to  generation. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Jethro  bringeth  to  Moses  his  wife  and  two  sons. 

WHEN  "Je'thro  the  priest  of  Mid'i-an,Mo'ses'  father  in  law, 
heard  of  all  that''God  had  done  for  Mo'ses,and  for  Is'ra-el 
hispeople,and  that  the  Lord  had  broughtls'ra-eloutof  Egypt; 

2  Then  Je'thro,  Mo'ses'  father  in  law,  took  Zip-po'rah, 
Mo'ses'  wife,  "after  he  had  sent  her  back, 

3  And  her  ''two  sons ;  of  which  the  'name  of  the  one  was 
II  Ger'shom ;  for  he  said,  I  have  been  an  alien  in  a  strange  land : 

4  And  the  name  of  the  other  was  \\  E-li-e'zer;  for  the  God 
of  my  father,  said  he,  was  mine  help,  and  delivered  me  from 
the  sword  of  Pha'raoh : 

5  And  Je'thro,  Mo'ses'  father  in  law,  came  with  his  sons 
and  his  wife  unto  Mo'ses  into  the  wilderness,  where  he 
encamped  at  ■''the  mount  of  God : 

6  And  he  said  unto  Mo'ses,  I  thy  father  in  law  Je'thro  am 
come  unto  thee,  and  thy  wife,  and  her  two  sons  with  her. 

7  ^And  Mo'ses  "went  out  to  meet  his  father  in  law,  and 
did  obeisance,  and  *kissed  him  ;  and  they  asked  each  other 
of  their  fwelfare ;  and  they  came  into  the  tent. 

8  And  Mo'ses  told  his  father  in  law  all  that  the  Lord  had 
done  unto  Pha'raoh  and  to  the  E-gyp'tians  for  Is'ra-el's  sake, 
and  all  the  travail  that  had  fcome  upon  them  by  the  way, 
and  how  the  Lord  'delivered  them.  • 

9  And  Je'thro  rejoiced  for  all  the  goodness  which  the  Lord 
had  done  to  Is'ra-el,  whom  he  had  delivered  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  E-gyp'tians. 

10  And  Je^thro  said,  *Blessed  be  the  Lord,  who  hath  de- 
livered you  out  of  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  out  of 
the  hand  of  Pha'raoh,  who  hath  delivered  the  people  from 
under  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians. 

1 1  Now  I  know  that  the  Lord  is  'greater  than  all  gods :  "for 
in  the  thing  wherein  they  dealt  "proudly  he  was  above  them. 

12  And  Je'thro,  Mo'ses'  father  in  law,  took  a  burnt  offering 


thy  rod,  wherewith  thou  smotest  the  river,  take  in 

6  thine  hand,  and  go.  Behold,  I  will  stand  before 
thee  there  upon  the  rock  in  Ho'reb ;  and  thou  shalt 
smite  the  rock,  and  there  shall  come  water  out  of  it, 
that  the  people  may  drink.     And  Mo'ses  did  so  in 

7  the  sight  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he  called  the 
name  of  the  place  'Mas'sah  and  ^Mer'i-bah,  because 
of  the  striving  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  because 
they  tempted  the  Lord,  saying,  Is  the  Lord  among 
us,  or  not? 

8  Then  came  Am'a-lek,  and  fought  with  Is'ra-el  in 

9  Reph'i-dim.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Choose 
us  out  men,  and  go  out,  fight  with  Am'a-lek:  to- 
morrow I  will  stand  on  the  top  of  the  hill  with  the 

10  rod  of  God  in  mine  hand.  So  Josh'u-a  did  as  Mo'ses 
had  said  to  him,  and*  fought  with  Am'a-lek :  and 
Mo'ses,  Aa'ron,  and  Hur  went  up  to  the  top  of  the 

11  hill.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo'ses  held  up  his 
hand,  that  Is'ra-el  prevailed :  and  when  he  let  down 

12  his  hand,  Am'a-lek  prevailed.  But  Mo'ses'  hands 
were  heavy ;  and  they  took  a  stone,  and  put  it  under 
him,  and  he  sat  thereon ;  and  Aa'ron  and  Hur  stayed 
up  his  hands,  the  one  on  the  one  side,  and  the  other 
on  the  other  side;  and  his  hands  were  steady  until 

13  the  going  down  of  the  sun.     And  Josh'u-a  Miscom 
fited  Am'a-lek  and  his  people  with  the  edge  of  the 

14  sword.     And  the  Lord  said  u 
for  a  memorial  in  a  book,  and  rehearse  it  in  the  ears 
of  Josh'u-a :  ^that  I  will  utterly  blot  out  the  remem 

15  brance  of  Am'a-lek  from  under  heaven.  And  Mo'ses 
built  an  altar,  and  called  the  name  of  it  ^Jehovah 

16  nis'si :  and  he  said,  *The  Lord  hath  sworn :  the  Lord 
will  have  war  with  Am'a-lek  from  generation  to  gen 
eration. 

-to  Now  Je'thro,  the  priest  of  Mid'i-an,  Mo'ses'  father 
in  law,  heard  of  all  that  God  had  done  for  Mo'ses, 
and  for  Is'ra-el  his  people,  how  that  the  Lord  had 
2  brought  Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt.  And  Je'thro,  Mo'ses' 
father  in  law,  took  Zip-po'rah,  Mo'ses'  wife,  after  he 
3 had  sent  her  away,  and  her  two  sons;  of  which  the 
name  of  the  one  was  Ger'shom ;  for  he  said,  I  have 

4  been  ^a  sojourner  in  a  strange  land :  and  the  name 
of  the  other  was  *E-li-e'zer ;  for  he  said,  The  God  of 
my  father  was  my  help,  and  delivered  me  from  the 

5  sword  of  Pha'raoh  :  and  Je'thro,  Mo'ses'  father  in  law, 
came  with  his  sons  and  his  wife  unto  Mo'ses  into  the 
wilderness  where  he  was  encamped,  at  the   mount 

6  of  God :  and  he  said  unto  Mo'ses,  I  thy  father  in  law 
Je'thro  am  come  unto  thee,  and  thy  wife,  and  her  tAvo 

7  sons  with  her.  And  Mo'ses  went  out  to  meet  his 
father  in  law,  and  did  obeisance,  and  kissed  him; 
and  they  asked   each  other  of  their  welfare;    and 

8  they  came  into  the  tent.  And  Mo'ses  told  his  father 
in  law  all  that  the  Lord  had  done  unto  Pha'raoh 
and  to  the  E-gyp'tians  for  Is'ra-el's  sake,  all  the  tra- 
vail  that   had   come   upon   them  by   the   way,  and 

9  how  the  Lord  delivered  them.  And  Je'thro  rejoiced 
for  all  the  goodness  which  the  Lord  had  done 
to  Is'ra-el,  in  that  he  had  delivered  them  out  of  the 

10  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians.  And  Je'thro  said.  Blessed 
be  the  Lord  who  hath  delivered  you  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  out  of  the  hand  of 
Pha'raoh  ;    who  hatn  delivered  the 

1 1  der  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians. 
the  Lord  is  greater  than  all  gods :  yea,  in  the  thing 

12  wherein  they  dealt  proudly  against  them.  And 
Je'thro,  Mo'ses'  father  in  law,  took  a  burnt  offering

and  sacrifices  for  God :  and  Aa'ron  came,  and  all  the  elders 
of  Is'ra-el  to  eat  bread  with  Mo'ses'  father  in  law  "before  God. 

13  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Mo'ses  sat 
to  judge  the  people :  and  the  people  stood  by  Mo'ses  from 
the  morning  unto  the  evening. 

14  And  when  Mo'ses'  father  in  law  saw  all  that  he  did  to 
the  people,  he  said,  What  is  this  thing  that  thou  doest  to 
the  people?  Why  sittest  thou  thyself  alone,  and  all  the 
people  stand  by  thee  from  morning  unto  even? 

15  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  his  father  in  law,  Because  "the 
people  come  unto  me  to  inquire  of  God : 

16  When  they  have  'a  matter,  they  come  unto  me;  and  I 
judge  between  fone  and  another,  and  I  do  'make  therui 
know  the  statutes  of  God,  and  his  laws. 

17  And  Mo'ses  father  in  law  said  unto  him,  The  thing  that 
thou  doest  is  not  good- 

18  fThou  wilt  surely  wear  away,  both  thou,  and  this 
people  that  is  with  thee :  for  this  thing  is  too  heavy  for  thee ; 
'thou  art  not  able  to  perform  it  thyself  alone. 

19  Hearken  now  unto  my  voice,  I  will  give  thee  counsel, 
and  'God  shall  be  with  thee :  Be  thou  "for  the  people  to 
God-ward,  that  thou  mayest  ''bring  the  causes  unto  God : 

20  And  thou  shalt  "teach  them  ordinances  and  laws,  and 
shalt  shew  them  'the  way  wherein  they  must  walk,  and  "the 
wort  that  they  must  do. 

21  Moreover  thou  shalt  provide  out  of  all  the  people 
""able  men,  such  as  "fear  God,  ''men  of  truth,  'hating 
covetousness ;  and  place  such  over  them,  to  be  rulers  of 
thousands,  and  rulers  of  hundreds,  rulers  of  fifties,  and 
rulers  of  tens : 

22  And  let  them  judge  the  people  -^at  all  seasons:  "and 
it  shall  be,  that  every  great  matter  they  shall  biing  unto 
thee,  but  every  small  matter  they  shall  judge:  so  shall 
it  be  easier  for  thyself,  and  *they  shall  bear  the  burden 
with  thee. 

2.3  If  thou  shalt  do  this  thing,  and  God  command  thee  so, 
then  thou  shalt  be  'able  to  endure,  and  all  this  people  shall 
also  go  to  *their  place  in  peace. 

24  So  Mo'ses  hearkened  to  the  voice  of  his  father  in  law, 
and  did  all  that  he  had  said. 

25  And  'Mo'ses  chose  able  men  out  of  all  Is'ra-el,  and  made 
them  heads  over  the  people,  rulers  of  thousands,  rulers  of 
hundreds,  rulers  of  fifties,  and  rulers  of  tens. 

26  And  they  ""judged  the  people  at  all  seasons:  the  "hard 
causes  they  brought  unto  Mo'ses,  but  every  small  matter 
they  judged  themselves. 

27  "TIAnd  Mo'ses  let  his  father  in  law  depart ;  and  °he  went 
his  way  into  his  own  land. 

CHAPTER  XIX. 

The  people  come  to  Sinai—God's  message  unto  the  people  out  of  the  mount. 

IN  the  third  month,  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were 
gone  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  the  same  day  "came 
they  into  the  wilderness  of  Si'nai. 

2  For  they  were  departed  from  'Reph'i-dim,  and  were  come 
to  the  desert  of  Si'nai,  and  had  pitched  in  the  wilderness ; 
and  there  Is'ra-el  camped  before  ''the  mount. 

3  And  ''Mo'ses  went  up  unto  God,  and  the  Loed  'called 
unto  him  out  of  the  mountain,  saying.  Thus  shalt  thou  say 
to  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  tell  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ; 

4  -''Ye  have  seen  what  I  did  unto  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  hoio 
"I  bare  you  on  eagles'  wings,  and  brought  you  unto  myself. 

5  Now  therefore,  if  ye  will  obey  my  voice  indeed,  and 
keep  my  covenant,  then  *ye  shall  be  a  peculiar  treasure  unto 
me  above  all  people :  for  *all  the  earth  is  mine : 

6  And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a  'kingdom  of  priests,  and  a 
"holy  nation.  These  are  the  words  which  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  ^And   Mo'ses  came   and  called   for  the   elders  of  the 


and  sacrifices  for  God :  and  Aa'ron  came,  and  all  the 
elders  of  Is'ra-el,  to  eat  bread  with  Mo'ses'  father  in 

13  law  before  God.  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow, 
that  Mo'ses  sat  to  judge  the  people :  and  the  people 
stood  about  Mo'ses  from  the  morning  unto  the  even- 

14  ing.  And  when  Mo'ses'  father  in  law  saw  all  that  he 
did  to  the  people,  he  said.  What  is  this  thing  that 
thou  doest  to  the  people?  why  sittest  thou  thyself 
alone,  and  all  the  people  stand  about  thee  from  morn- 

15 ing  unto  even?  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  his  father  in 
law.  Because  the  people  come  unto  me  to  inquire  of 

16 God :  when  they  have  a  matter,  they  come  unto  me; 
and  I  judge  between  a  man  and  his  neighbour,  and 
I  make   them   know  the   statutes  of  God,  and  his 

17  laws.     And  Mo'ses  father  in  law  said  unto  him.  The 

18  thing  that  thou  doest  is  not  good.  Thou  wilt  surely 
wear  away,  both  thou,  and  this  people  that  is  with 
thee :  for  the  thing  is  too  heavy  for  thee ;  thou  art 

19  not  able  to  perform  it  thyself  alone.  Hearken  now 
unto  my  voice,  I  will  give  thee  counsel,  and  God  be 
with  thee :  be  thou  for  the  people  to  God-ward,  and 

20  bring  thou  the  causes  unto  God :  and  thou  shalt 
teach  them  the  statutes  and  the  laws,  and  shalt  shew 
them  the  way  wherein  they  must  walk,  and  the  work 

21  that  they  must  do.  Moreover  thou  shalt  provide 
out  of  all  the  people  able  men,  such  as  fear  God, 
men  of  truth,  hating  unjust  gain ;  and  place  such 
over  them,  to  be  rulers  of  thousands,  rulers  of  hun- 

22dreds,  rulers  of  fifties,  and  rulers  of  tens:  and  let 
them  judge  the  people  at  all  seasons :  and  it  shall 
be,  that  every  great  matter  they  shall  bring  unto 
thee,  but  every  small  matter  they  shall  judge  them- 
selves; so  shall  it  be  easier  for  thyself,  and  they 

23  shall  bear  the  burden  with  thee.  If  thou  shalt  do 
this  thing,  and  God  command  thee  so,  then  thou 
shalt  be  able  to  endure,  and  all  this  people  also  shall 

24  go  to  their  place  in  peace.  So  Mo'ses  hearkened  to 
the  voice  of  his  father  in  law,  and  did  all  that  he 

25  had  said.  And  Mo'ses  chose  able  men  out  of  all 
Is'ra-el,  and  made  them  heads  over  the  people,  rulers 
of  thousands,  rulers   of  hundreds,  rulers  of  fifties, 

26  and  rulers  of  tens.  And  they  judged  the  people  at 
all  seasons:  the  hard  causes  they  brought  unto 
Mo'ses,  but  every  small  matter  they  judged  them- 

27 selves.  And  Mo'ses  let  his  father  in  law  depart; 
and  he  went  his  way  into  his  own  land. 

J-v  In  the  third  month  after  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
were  gone  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  the  same 

2  day  came  they  into  the  wilderness  of  Si'nai.  And 
when  they  were  departed  from  Reph'i-dim,  and  were 
come  to  the  wilderness  of  Si'nai,  they  pitched  in  the 
wilderness;    and  there   Is'ra-el  camped   before  the 

3  mount.  And  Mo'ses  went  up  unto  God,  and  the 
Lord  called  unto  him  out  of  the  mountain,  saying. 
Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  tell 

4  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  Ye  have  seen  what  I  did 
unto  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  how  I  bare  you  on  eagles' 

Swings,  and  brought  you  unto  myself.  Now  there- 
fore, if  ye  will  obey  my  voice  indeed,  and  keep  my 
covenant,  then  ye  shall  be  a  peculiar  treasure  unto 
me  'from  among  all  peoples:  for  all  the  earth  is 

6 mine:  and  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a  kingdom  of 
priests,  and  an  holy  nation.  These  are  the  words 
which  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  Mo'ses  came  and  called  for  the  elders  of  the

Lord  commanded  him. 

8  And  "all  the  people  answered  together,  and  said,  All 
that  the  LoED  hath  spoken  we  will  do.  And  Mo'ses  returned 
the  words  of  the  people  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'se.s,  Lo,  I  come  unto  thee 
°in  a  thick  cloud,  "that  the  people  may  hear  when  I  speak 
with  thee,  and  'believe  thee  for  ever.  And  Mo'ses  told  the 
words  of  the  people  unto  the  Lord. 

10  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  unto  the  people, 
and  'sanctify  them  to-day  and  to-morrow,  and  let  them

the  Lord  'will  come  down  in  the  sight  of  all  the  people 
upon  mount  Si'nai. 

12  And  thou  shalt  set  bounds  unto  the  people  round 
about,  saying.  Take  heed  to  yourselves,  that  ye  go  not  up 
into  the  mount,  or  touch  the  border  of  it:  "whosoever

14  ^And  Mo'ses  wentdown  from  the  mount  unto  the  people, 
and  "sanctified  the  people;  and  they  washed  their  clothes. 

15  And  he  said  unto  the  people,  'Be  ready  against  the 
third  day  :  "come  not  at  your  wives. 

16  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  third  day  in  the  morning, 
that  there  were  Hhunders  and  lightnings,  and  a  "thick  cloud 
upon  the  mount,  and  the  ''voice  of  the  trumpet  exceeding 
loud ;  so  that  all  the  people  that  was  in  the  camp  'trembled. 

17  And -^Mo'ses  brought  forth  the  people  out  of  the  camp  to 
meet  with  God ;  and  they  stood  at  the  nether  part  of  the  mount. 

18  And  "mount  Si'nai  was  altogether  on  a  smoke,  because 
the  Lord  descended  upon  it  *in  fire :  'and  the  smoke  there-

19  And  'when  the  voice  of  the  trumpet  sounded  long,  and 
waxed  louder  and  louder,  ""Mo'ses  spake,  and  "God  answered 
him  by  a  voice. 

20  And  the  Lord  came  down  upon  mount  Si'nai,  on  the 
top  of  the  mount :  and  the  Lord  called  Mo'ses  up  to  the  top 
of  the  mount;  and  Mo'ses  went  up. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  down,  fcharge  the 
people,  lest  they  break  through  unto  the  Lord  "to  gaze, 
and  many  of  them  perish. 

22  And  let  the  priests  also,  which  come  near  to  the  Lord, 
''sanctify  themselves,  lest  the  Lord  "break  forth  upon  them. 

23  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  The  people  can  not 
come  up  to  mount  Si'nai :  for  thou  chargedst  us,  saying, 
'Set  bounds  about  the  mount,  and  sanctify  it. 

24  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Away,  get  thee  down, 
and  thou  shalt  come  up,  thou,  and  Aa'ron  with  thee :  but  let 
not  the  priests  and  the  people  break  through  to  come  up  unto 
the  Lord,  lest  he  break  forth  upon  them. 

25  So  Mo'ses  went  down  unto  the  people,  and  spake  unto 
them. 

CHAPTER    XX. 

The  tin  commandments — Idolatry  is  forbidden. 

AND  God  spake  "all  these  words,  saying, 
''I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  have  brought  thee  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  "out  of  the  house  of  fbondage. 

3  ''Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before  me. 

4  'Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or 
any  likeness  of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is 
in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under  the  earth  : 

5  ■'^Thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve 
them:  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  "a  jealous  God,  *visiting 
the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children  unto  the  third 
and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hat«  me ; 


people,  and  set  before  them  all  these  words  which 

8  the  Lord  commanded  him.  And  all  the  people 
answered  together,  and  said.  All  that  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  we  will  do.     And  Mo'ses  reported  the 

9  words  of  the  people  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Mo'ses,  Lo,  I  come  unto  thee  in  a  thick 
cloud,  that  the  people  may  hear  when  I  speak  with 
thee,  and  may  also  believe  thee  for  ever.  And 
Mo'ses  told  the  words  of  the  people  unto  the  Lord. 

10  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  unto  the  people, 
and  sanctify   them  to-day  and    to-morrow,  and   let 

11  them  wash  their  garments,  and  be  ready  against  the 
third  day:  for  the  third  day  the  Lord  will  come 
down  in  the   sight  of  all  the  people  upon  mount 

12  Si'nai.  And  thou  shalt  set  bounds  unto  the  people 
round  about,  saying.  Take  heed  to  yourselves,  that 
ye  go  not  up  into  the  mount,  or  touch  the  border 
of  it :  whosoever  toucheth  the  mount  shall  be  surely 

13  put  to  death  :  no  hand  shall  touch  'him,  but  he  shall 
surely  be  stoned,  or  shot  through ;  whether  it  be 
beast  or  man,  it  shall  not  live  :  when  the  ^trumpet 
soundeth  long,  they   shall  come  up  to   the   mount. 

14 And  Mo'ses  went  down  from  the  mouni;  unto  the 
people,  and  sanctified  the  people ;  and  they  washed 

15  their  garments.  And  he  said  unto  the  people.  Be 
ready  against  the  third  day :  come  not  near  a  woman. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  third  day,  when  it  was 
morning,  that  there  were  thunders  and  lightnings, 
and  a  thick  cloud  upon  the  mount,  and  the  voice 
of  a  trumpet  exceeding  loud;    and  all  the  people 

17  that  were  in  the  camp  trembled.  And  Mo'ses 
brought  forth  the  people  out  of  the  camp  to  meet 
God;    and   they    stood  at   the   nether    part  of  the 

18  mount.  And  mount  Si'nai  was  altogether  on  smoke 
because  the  Lord  descended  upon  it  in  fire :  and 
the  smoke  thereof  ascended  as  the  smoke  of  a  fur- 

19nace,  and  the  whole  'mount  quaked  greatly.  And 
when  the  voice  of  the  trumpet  waxed  louder  and 
louder,  Mo'ses  spake,  and  God  answered  him  by  a 

20  voice.  And  the  Lord  came  down  upon  mount 
Si'nai,  to  the  top  of  the  mount :  and  the  Lord  called' 
Mo'ses  to  the  top  of  the  mount;  and  Mo'ses  went 

21  up.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Go  down, 
charge  the  people,  lest  they  break  through  unto  the 

22  Lord  to  gaze,  and  many  of  them  perish.  And  let 
the  priests  also,  which  come  near  to  the  Lord, 
sanctify  themselves,  lest  the  Lord  break  forth  upon 

23  them.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  The  people 
can  not  come  up  to  mount  Si'nai :  for  thou  didst 
charge   us,    saying,  Set    bounds    about   the    mount, 

24  and  sanctify  it.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go, 
get  thee  down;  and  thou  shalt  come  up,  thou,  and 
Aa'ron  with  thee :  but  let  not  the  priests  and  the 
people  break  through  to  come  up  unto  the  Lord, 

25  lest  he  break  forth  upon  them.  So  Mo'ses  went 
down  unto  the  people,  and  told  them. 

/^v      And  God  spake  all  these  words,  saying, 

2  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  brought  thee  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  out  of  the  house  of  ^bondage. 

3  Thou  shalt  have  none  other  gods  ^before  me. 

4  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  a  graven  image, 
nor  the  likeness  of  any  form  that  is  in  heaven  above^ 
or  that  is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the 

5  water  under  the  earth :  thou  shalt  not  bow  down 
thyself  unto  them,  nor  serve  them :  for  I  the  Lord 
thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of 
the  fathers  upon  the  children,  upon  the  third  and 
upon  the  fourth  generation  of  them  that  :hate  me;

20  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  people.  "Fear  not :  -^for  God 
is  come  to  prove  you,  and  "that  his  fear  may  be  before  your 
faces,  that  ye  sin  not. 

21  And  the  people  stood  afar  oiF,  and  Mo'ses  drew  near 
unto  ''the  thick  darkness  where  God  was. 

22  T[And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Thus  thou  shalt  say 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Ye  have  seen  that  I  have  talked 
with  you  'from  heaven. 

23  Ye  shall  not  make  *with  me  gods  of  silver,  neither  shall 
ye  make  unto  you  gods  of  gold. 

24  ITAn  altar  of  earth  thou  shalt  make  unto  me,  and  shalt 
sacrifice  thereon  thy  burnt  offerings,  and  thy  peace  offerings, 
'thy  sheep,  and  thine  oxen :  in  all  "places  where  I  record 
my  name  I  will  come  unto  thee,  and  I  will  "bless  thee. 

25  And  "if  thou  wilt  make  me  an  altar  of  stone,  thou  shalt 
not  fbuild  it  of  hewn  stone  :  for  if  thou  lift  up  thy  tool  upon 
it,  thou  hast  polluted  it. 

26  Neither  shalt  thou  go  up  by  steps  unto  mine  altar,  that 
thy  nakedness  be  not  discovered  thereon. 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

Sundry  laws  for  men  servants,  etc. 

1>rrOW  these   are  the  judgments  which  thou  shalt  "set 
-»-'    before  them. 

2  'If  thou  buy  a  He'brew  servant,  six  years  he  shall  serve : 
and  in  the  seventh  he  shall  go  out  free  for  nothing. 

3  If  he  came  in  fby  himself,  he  shall  go  out  by  himself: 
if  he  were  married,  then  his  wife  shall  go  out  with  him. 

4  If  his  master  have  given  him  a  wife,  and  she  have  borne 
him  sons  or  daughters;  the  wife  and  her  children .  shall  be 
her  master's,  and  he  shall  go  out  by  himself 

5  'And  if  the  servant  fshall  plainly  say,  I  love  my  master, 
my  wife,  and  my  children ;  I  will  not  go  out  free : 

6  Then  his  master  shall  bring  him  unto  the  '^judges ;  he 
shall  also  bring  him  to  the  door,  or  unto  the  door  post ; 
and  Ms  master  shall  'bore  his  ear  through  with  an  awl;  and 
he  shall  serve  him  for  ever. 


6  and  shewing  mercy  unto  'thousands,  of  them  that 
love  me  and  keep  my  commandments. 

7  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy 
God  ^in  vain ;  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  Mm  guilt- 
less that  taketh  his  name  ^in  vain. 

8  Remember    the    sabbath    day,  to    keep    it    holy. 

9  Six  days  shalt  thou  labour,  and  do  all   thy  work : 

10  but  the  seventh  day  is  a  sabbath  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God :  in  it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor 
thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy  manservant,  nor  thy 
maidservant,  nor  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is 

11  within  thy  gates:  for  in  six  days  the  Lord  made 
heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is, 
and  rested  the  seventh  day  :  wherefore  the  Lord 
blessed  the  sabbath  day,  and  hallowed  it. 

12  Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother:  that  thy  days 
may  be  long  upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee. 

13  Thou  shalt  do  no  murder. 

14  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

15  Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

16  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy 
neighbour. 

17  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbour's  house,  thou 
shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbour's  wife,  nor  his  man- 
servant, nor  his  maidservant,  nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass, 
nor  any  thing  that  is  thy  neighbour's. 

18  And  all  the  people  saw  the  thunderings,  and  the 
lightnings,  and  the  voice  of  the  trumpet,  and  the 
mountain  smoking :    and  when  the  people   saw   it, 

19  they  trembled,  and  stood  afar  off.  And  they  said 
unto  Mo'ses,  Speak  thou  with  us,  and  we  will  hear : 

20  but  let  not  God  speak  with  us,  lest  we  die.  And 
Mo'ses  said  unto  the  people.  Fear  not :  for  God  is 
come  to  prove  you,  and  that  his  fear  may  be  before 

21  you,  that  ye  sin  not.  And  the  people  stood  afar 
off,  and  Mo'ses  drew  near  unto  the  thick  darkness 
where  God  was. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Thus  thou  shalt 
say  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Ye  yourselves  have 

23seen  that  I  have  talked  with  you  from  heaven.  Ye 
shall  not  make  other  gods  with  me ;  gods  of  silver, 

24  or  gods  of  gold,  ye  shall  not  make  unto  you.  An 
altar  of  earth  thou  shalt  make  unto  me,  and  shalt 
sacrifice  thereon  thy  burnt  offerings,  and  thy  peace 
offerings,  thy  sheep,  and  thine  oxen :  in  every  place 
where  I  ^record  my  name  I  will  come  unto  thee  and  I 

25  will  bless  thee.  And  if  thou  make  me  an  altar  of 
stone,  thou  shalt  not  build  it  of  hewn  stones :  for  if 
thou  lift  up  thy  tool  upon  it,  thou  hast  polluted  it. 

26  Neither  shalt  thou  go  up  by  steps  unto  mine  altar, 
that  thy  nakedness  be  not  discovered  thereon. 

^i-  Now  these  are  the  judgements  which  thou  shalt 
set  before  them. 

2  If  thou  buy  an  He'brew  'servant,  six  years  he  shall 
serve:  and  in  the  seventh  ihe  shall  go  out  free  for 

3  nothing.  If  he  come  in  by  Mmself,  he  shall  go  out 
by  himself:  if  he  be  married,  then  his  wife  shall  go 

4  out  with  him.  If  his  master  give  him  a  wife,  and 
she  bear  him  sons  or  daughters ;  the  wife  and  her 
children  shall  be  her  master's,  and  he  shall  go  out 

5  by  himself  But  if  the  servant  shall  plainly  say,  I 
love  my  master,  my  wife,  and  my  children ;  I  will 

6  not  go  out  free :  then  his  master  shall  bring  him 
unto  'God,  and  shall  bring  him  to  the  door,  or 
unto  the  door  post;  and  his  master  shall  bore  his 
ear  through  with  an  awl;  and  he  shall  serve  him  for 
ever.

7  ^And  if  a  man  ■''sell  his  daughter  to  be  a  maidservant, 
she  shall  not  go  out  "as  the  menservants  do. 

8  If  she  tplease  not  her  master,  who  hath  betrothed  her 
to  himself,  then  shall  he  let  her  be  redeemed:  to  sell  her 
unto  a  strange  nation  he  shall  have  no  power,  seeing  he 
hath  dealt  deceitfully  with  her. 

9  And  if  he  have  betrothed  her  unto  his  son,  he  shall 
deal  with  her  after  the  manner  of  daughters. 

10  If  he  take  him  another  wife,  her  food,  her  raiment, 
*and  her  duty  of  marriage  shall  he  not  diminish. 

11  And  if  he  do  not  these  three  unto  her,  then  shall  she 
go  out  free  without  money. 

12  lI'He  that  smiteth  a  man,  so  that  he  die,  shall  be 
surely  put  to  death.

into  his  hand ;  then  "I  will  appoint  thee  a  place  whither  he 
shall  flee. 

14  But  if  a  man  come  "presumptuously  upon  his  neigh- 
bour, to  slay  him  with  guile;  "thou  shalt  take  him  from 
mine  altar,  that  he  may  die. 

15  ^And  he  that  smiteth  his  father,  or  his  mother,  shall 
be  surely  put  to  death. 

16  ^And  ''he  that  stealeth  a  man,  and  *selleth  him,  or  if

17  ^And  'he  that  ||  curseth  his  father,  or  his  mother,  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death. 

18  ^And  if  men  strive  together,  and  one  smite  ||  another

shall  he  that  smote  him  be  quit :  only  he  shall  pay  for 
fthe  loss  of  his  time,  and  shall  cause  him  to  be  thoroughly 
healed. 

20  ^And  if  a  man  smite  his  servant,  or  his  maid,  with  a  rod, 
and  he  die  under  his  hand ;  he  shall  be  surely  fpunished. 

21  Notwithstanding,  if  he  continue  a  day  or  two,  he  shall

22  *|[If  men  strive,  and  hurt  a  woman  with  child,  so  that

shall  be  surely  punished,  according  as  the  woman's  hus- 
band will  lay  upon  him;  and  he  shall  ^pay  as  the  judges 
determine. 

23  And  if  any  mischief  follow,  then  thou  shalt  give  life 
for  life,

past,  and  it  hath  been  testified  to  his  owner,  and  he  hath 
not  kept  him  in,  but  that  he  hath  killed  a  man  or  a  woman ;

power,  seeing  he  hath  dealt  deceitfully   with  her. 

9  And  if  he  espouse  her  unto  his  son,  he  shall  deal 

10  with  her  after  the  manner  of  daughters.  If  he  take 
him  another  wife;  her  'food,  her  raiment,  and  her 

1 1  duty  of  marriage,  shall  he  not  diminish.  And  if  he

him  with  guile ;  thou  shalt  take  him  from  mine 
altar,  that  he  may  die. 

15  And  he  that  smiteth  his  father,  or  his  mother,

if  he  be  found  in  his  hand,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death. 

17  And  he  that  ^curseth  his  father,  or  his  mother, 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

18  And  if  men  contend,  and  one  smiteth  the  other 
with  a  stone,  or  with   his  fist,  and  he  die  not,  but 

19 keep  his  bed:  if  he  rise  again,  and  walk  abroad 
upon  his  staff,  then  shall  he  that  smote  him  be  quit :

money. 

22  And  if  men  strive  together,  and  hurt  a  woman 
with  child,  so  that  her  fruit  depart,  and  yet  no  mis- 
chief follow :  he  shall  be  surely  fined,  according  as 
the  woman's  husband  shall  lay  upon  him;  and  he 

23  shall  pay  as  the  judges  determine.     But  if  any  mis- 

24  chief  follow,  then  thou  shalt  give  life  for  life,  eye  for 
eye,  tooth  for  tooth,  hand  for  hand,  foot  for  foot, 

25  burning  for  burning,  wound  for  wound,  stripe  for

eye  of  his  maid,  and  destroy  it ;  he  shall  let  him  go 

27  free  for  his  eye's  sake.  And  if  he  smite  out  his 
manservant's  tooth,  or  his  maidservant's  tooth;  he 
shall  let  him  go  free  for  his  tooth's  sake. 

28  And  if  an  ox  gore  a  man  or  a  woman,  that  they 
die,  the  ox  shall  be  surely  stoned,  and  his  flesh  shall 
not  be  eaten ;  but  the  owner  of  the  ox  shall  be  quit 

29  But  if  the  ox  were  wont  to  gore  in  time  past,  and  it

Of  theft  and  other  offences — Of  the  first  fruits. 

IF  a  man  shall  steal  an  ox,  or  a   |1  sheep,  and  kill  it,  or 
sell  it;  he  shall  restore  five  oxen  for  an  ox,  and  "four

3  If  the  sun  be  risen  upon  him,  there  shall  be  blood  shed  for 
him  ;  for  he  should  make  full  restitution :  if  he  have  noth- 
ing, then  he  shall  be  ''sold  for  his  theft. 

4  If  the  theft  be  certainly  *found  in  his  hand  alive,  whether

stacks  of  corn,  or  the  standing  corn,  or  the  field,  be  con-

restitution.

for  sheep,  for  raiment,  or  for  any  manner  of  lost  thing,  which 
another  challengeth  to  be  his,  the  'cause  of  both  parties  shall 
come  before  the  judges ;  and  whom  the  Judges  shall  con- 
demn, he  shall  pay  double  unto  his  neighbour. 

10  If  a  man  deliver  unto  his  neighbour  an  ass,  or  an  ox, 
or  a  sheep,  or  any  beast,  to  keep ;  and  it  die,  or  be  hurt,  or 
driven  away,  no  man  seeing  it  : 

11  Then  shall  an  *oath  of  the  Lord  be  between  them  both, 
that  he  hath  not  put  his  hand  unto  his  neighbour's  goods; 
and  the  owner  of  it  shall  accept  thereof,  and  he  shall  not 
make  it  good. 

12  And  'if  it  be  stolen  from  him,  he  shall  make  restitution 
unto  the  owner  thereof. 

13  If  it  be  torn  in  pieces,  then  let  him  bring  it  for  witness, 
and  he  shall  not  make  good  that  which  was  torn. 

14  ^And  if  a  man  borrow  aught  of  his  neighbour,  and  it 
be  hurt,  or  die,  the  owner  thereof  being  not  with  it,  he  shall 
surely  make  it  good. 

15  But  if  the  owner  thereof  be  with  it,  he  shall  not  make 
it  good :  if  it  be  a  hired  thing,  it  came  for  his  hire. 

16  ^And  "'if  a  man  entice  a  maid  that  is  not  be-

34  the  owner  of  the  pit  shall  make  it  good ;  he  shall 
give  money  unto  the  owner  of  them,  and  the  dead 
beast  shall  be  his. 

35  And  if  one  man's  ox  hurt  another's,  that  he  die : 
then  they  shall  sell  the  live  ox,  and  divide  the  price 

36  of  it ;  and  the  dead  also  they  shall  divide.  Or  if  it 
be  known  that  the  ox  was  wont  to  gore  in  time  past, 
and  his  owner  hath  not  kept  him  in ;  he  shall  surely 
pay  ox  for  ox,  and  the  dead  beast  shall  be  his  own. 

«>^  If  a  man  shall  steal  an  ox,  or  a  sheep,  and  kill  it,

in,  and  be  smitten  that  he   die,  there  shall  be 

3 'bloodguiltiness  for  him.  If  the  sun  be  risen  upon 
him,  there  shall  be  bloodguiltiness  for  him:  he 
should  make  restitution;  if  he  have   nothing,  then 

4  he  shall  be  sold  for  his  theft.  If  the  theft  be  found 
in  his  hand  alive,  whether  it  be  ox,  or  ass,  or  sheep ; 
he  shall  pay  double. 

5  If  a  man  shall  cause  a  field  or  vineyard  to  be 
eaten,  and  shall  let  his  beast  loose,  and  it  feed  in 
another  man's  field ;  of  the  best  of  his  own  field, 
and  of  the  best  of  his  own  vineyard,  shall  he  make 
restitution. 

6  If  fire  break  out,  and  catch  in  thorns,  so  that  the 
shocks  of  corn,  or  the  standing  corn,  or  the  field, 
be  consumed;  he  that  kindled  the  fire  shall  surely 
make  restitution.  . 

7  If  a  man  shall  deliver  unto  his  neighbour  money 
or  stuff  to  keep,  and  it  be  stolen  out  of  the  man's 
house ;  if  the  thief  be  found,  he  shall  pay  double 

8  If  the  thief  be  not  found,  then  the  master  of  the 
house  shall  come  near  unto  ^God,  to  see  whether  he 
have  not  put  his  hand  unto  his   neighbour's  goods 

9  For  every  matter  of  trespass,  whether  it  be  for  ox, 
for  ass,  for  sheep,  for  raiment,  or  for  any  manner  of 
lost  thing,  whereof  one  saith.  This  is  it,  the  cause 
of  both  parties  shall  come  before  ^God ;  he  whom 
^God  shall  condemn  shall  pay  double  unto  his  neigh 
hour. 

10  If  a  man  deliver  unto  'his  neighbour  an  ass,  or  an 
ox,  or  a  sheep,  or  any  beast,  to  keep ;  and  it  die,  or 

11  be  hurt,  or  driven  away,  no  man  seeing  it :  the  oath

12  he  shall  not  make  restitution.  But  if  it  be  stolen  from 
him,  he  shall  make  restitution  unto  the  owner  thereof. 

13 If  it  be  torn  in  pieces,  let  him  bring  it  for  witness; 
he  shall  not  make  good  that  which  was  torn. 

14  And  if  a  man  ^borrow  aught  of  his  neighbour, 
and  it  be  hurt,  or  die,  the  owner  thereof  not  being 

15  with  it,  he  shall  surely  make  restitution.  If  the 
owner  thereof  be  with  it,  he  shall  not  make  it  good : 
if  it  be  an  hired  thing,  ''it  came  for  its  hire. 

16  And  if  a  man  entice  a  virgin  that  is  not  betrothed, 
and  lie  with  her,  he  shall  surely  pay  a  dowry  for  her 

17  to  be  his  wife.  If  her  father  utterly  refuse  to  give 
her  unto  him,  he  shall  pay  money  according  to  the 
dowry  of  virgins. 

18  Thou  shalt  not  suffer  a  sorceress  to  live. 

19  Whosoever  lieth  with  a  beast  shall  surely  be  put 
to  death. 

20  He  that  sacrificeth  unto  any  god,  save    unto  the 

21  Lord  only,  shall  be  ''utterly  destroyed.  And  a 
stranger  shalt  thou  not  wrong,  neither  shalt  thou  op- 
press him :  for  ye  were  strangers  in  the  land  of  E'gypt.

Of  slander,  false  witness,  justice,  charitableness,  the  Sabbath,  etc. 

THOU  "shalt    not  ||  raise  a  false  report  :    put   not   thine 
hand  with  the  wicked  to  be  an  ''unrighteous  witness. 

2  ^""Thou  shalt  not  follow  a  multitude  to  do  evil ;  ''neither 
shalt  thou  fspeak  in  a  cause  to  decline  after  many  to  wrest 
judgment  : 

3  '^Neither  shalt  thou  countenance  a  poor  man  in  his  cause. 

4  ^*If  thou  meet  thine  enemy's  ox  or  his  asa  going  astray, 
thou  shalt  surely  bring  it  back  to  him  again. 

5  •''If  thou  see  the  ass  of  him  that  hateth  thee  lying  under 
his  burden,  ||  and  wouldest  forbear  to  help  him,  thou  shalt 
surely  help  with  him. 

6  "Thou  shalt  not  wrest  the  judgment  of  thy  poor  in  his 
cause. 

7  *Keep  thee  fer  from  a  felse  matter;  'and  the  inno- 
cent and  righteous  slay  thou  not :  for  *I  will  not  justify  the 
wicked. 

8  ^And  'thou  shalt  take  no  gift :  for  the  gift  blindeth  fthe 
wise,  and  perverteth  the  words  of  the  righteous. 

9  ^Also  "thou  shalt  not  oppress  a  stranger :  for  ye  know 
the  t  heart  of  a  stranger,  seeing  ye  were  strangers  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

10  And  "six  years  thou  shalt  sow  thy  land,  and  shalt 
gather  in  the  fruits  thereof: 

11  But  the  seventh  year  thou  shalt  let  it  rest  and  lie  still ; 
that  the  poor  of  thy  people  may  eat :  and  what  they  leave 
the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  eat.  In  like  manner  thou  shalt 
deal  with  thy  vineyard,  and  with  thy  ||  oliveyard. 

12  "Six  days  thou  shalt  do  thy  work,  and  on  the  seventh 
day  thou  shalt  rest :  that  thine  ox  and  thine  ass  may  rest,  and 
the  son  of  thy  handmaid,  and  the  stranger,  may  be  refreshed.

22  Ye  shall  not  afflict  any  widow,  or  fatherless  child. 

23  If  thou  afflict  them  in  any  wise,  and  they  cry  at  all

shall  wax  hot,  and  I  will  kill  you  with  the  sword ;

thou  shalt  restore  it  unto  him  by  that  the  sun  goeth 

27  down  :  for  that  is  his  only  covering,  it  is  his  garment

come  to  pass,  when  he  crieth  unto  me,  that  I  will 
hear ;  for  I  am  gracious. 

28  Thou  shalt  not  revile  'God,  nor  curse  a  ruler  of 

29  thy  people.  Thou  shalt  not  delay  to  offer  of  ^the 
abundance  of  thy  fruits,  and  of   thy  liquors.     The 

30  firstborn  of  thy  sons  shalt  thou  give  unto  me.  Like- 
wise shalt  thou  do  with  thine  oxen,  and  with  thy 
sheep :  seven  days  it  shall  be  with  its  dam ;  on  the 

31  eighth  day  thou  shalt  give  it  me.  And  ye  shall  be 
holy  men  unto  me  :  therefore  ye  shall  not  eat  any 
flesh  that  is  torn  of  beasts  in  the  field ;  ye  shall  cast 
it  to  the  dogs. 

^O  Thou  shalt  not  take  up  a  false  report :  put  not 
thine  hand  with   the   wicked  to  be  an  unrighteous 

2  witness.  Thou  shalt  not  follow  a  multitude  to  do 
evil ;  neither  shalt  thou  ^speak  in  a  cause  to  turn 

3  aside  after  a  multitude  to  wrest  judgement :  neither 
shalt  thou  favour  a  poor  man  in  his  cause. 

4  If  thou  meet  thine  enemy's  ox  or  his  ass  going 
astray,  thou  shalt  surely  bring  it  back  to  him  again. 

5  If  thou  see  the  ass  of  him  that  hateth  thee  lying 
under  his  burden,  *and  wouldest  forbear  to  help  him, 
thou  shalt  surely  help  with  him. 

6  Thou  shalt  not  wrest  the  judgement  of  thy  poor 
7 in  his  cause.     Keep  thee  far  from  a  false  matter; 

and  the  innocent  and  righteous  slay  thou  not :  for  I 

8  will  not  justify  the  wicked.  And  thou  shalt  take  no 
gift :  for  a  gift  blindeth  them  that  have  sight,  and 

9  perverteth  the  'words  of  the  righteous.  And  a 
stranger  shalt  thou  not  oppress :  for  ye  know  the 
heart  of  a  stranger,  seeing  ye  were  strangers  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

10  And  six  years  thou  shalt  sow  thy  land,  and  shalt 

11  gather  in  the  increase  thereof:  but  the  seventh  year 
thou  shalt  *Iet  it  rest  and  lie  fallow;  that  the  poor 
of  thy  people  may  eat:  and  what  they  leave  the 
beast  of  the  field  shall  eat.  In  like  manner  thou 
shalt  deal  with  thy  vineyard,  and  with  thy  oliveyard. 

12  Six  days  thou  shalt  do  thy  work,  and  on  the  sev- 
enth day  thou  shalt  'rest:  that  thine  ox  and  thine 
ass  may  have  rest,  and  the  son   of  thy  handmaid, 

13  and  the  stranger,  may  be  refreshed.  And  in  all 
things  that  I  have  said  unto  you  take  ye  heed  :  and 
make  no  mention  of  the  name  of  other  gods,  neither 
let  it  be  heard  out  of  thy  mouth. 

14  Three  times  thou  shalt  keep  a  feast  unto  me  in 

15  the  year.  The  feast  of  unleavened  bread  shalt  thou 
keep :  seven  days  thou  shalt  eat  unleavened  bread, 
as  I  commanded  thee,  at  the  time  appointed  in  the 
month  A'bib  (for  in  it  thou  camest  out  from  E'gypt) ; 

16 and  none  shall  appear  before  me  empty:  and  the

Moses  buildeth  an  altar,  and  twelve  pillars — The  glory  of  God  appeareih. 

AND    he    said   unto  Mo'ses,   Come   up  unto  the  Lord, 
thou,  and  Aa'ron,  "Na'dab,  and  A-bi'hu,  ""and  seventy  of 
the  elders  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  worship  ye  afar  off. 

2  And  Mo'ses  'alone  shall  come  near  the  Lord  :  but  they 
shall  not  come  nigh  ;  neither  shall  the  people  go  up  with  him. 

3  ^And  Mo'ses  came  and  told  the  people  all  the  words 
of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  judgments  :  and  all  the  people 
answered  with  one  voice,  and  said,  ''AH  the  words  which 
the  Lord  hath  said  will  we  do. 

4  And  Mo'ses  'wrote  all  the  words  of  the  Lord,  and  rose 
up  early  in  the  morning,  and  builded  an  altar  under  the  hill, 
and  twelve  -^pillars,  according  to  the  twelve  tribes  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  he  sent  young  men  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
offered  burnt  offerings,  and  sacrificed  peace  offerings  of 
oxen  unto  the  Lord. 

6  And  Mo'.ses  "took  half  of  the  blood,  and  put  ii  in  basins ; 
and  half  of  the  blood  he  sprinkled  on  the  altar. 


ingathering,  at  the  end  of  the  year,  when  thou  gath- 
17erest  in  thy  labours  out  of  the  field.     Three  times 
in    the  year  all  thy  males  shall  appear  before    the 
Lord  God. 

18  Thou  shalt  not  offer  the  blood  of  my  sacrifice 
with  leavened  bread ;  neither  shall  the  fat   of  my 

19  feast  remain  all  night  until  the  morning.  The  first 
of  the  firstfruits  of  thy  ground  thou  shalt  bring  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou  shalt  not 
seethe  a  kid  in  its  mother's  milk. 

20  Behold,  I  send  an  angel  before  thee,  to  keep  thee 
by  the  way,  and  to  bring  thee  into  the  place  which 

21 1  have  prepared.  Take  ye  heed  of  him,  and  heark€n 
unto  his  voice ;  'provoke  him  not :  for  he  will  not 
pardon  your  transgression ;  for  my  name  is  in  him. 

22  But  if  thou  shalt  indeed  hearken  unto  his  voice,  and 
do  all  that  I  speak;  then  I  will  be  an  enemy  unto

after  their  works  :  but  thou  shalt  utterly  overthrow 

25  them,  and  break  in  pieces  their  ^pillars.  And  ye 
shall  serve  the  Lord  your  God,  and  he  shall  bless 
thy  bread,  and  thy  water ;  and  I  will  take  sickness 

26  away  from  the  midst  of  thee.  There  shall  none 
cast  her  young,  nor  be  barren,    in    thy    land  :    the 

27  number  of  thy  days  I  will  fulfil.  I  will  send  my 
terror  before  thee,  and  will  discomfit  all  the  people 
to  whom  thou  shalt  come,  and  I  will  make  all  thine 

28  enemies  turn  their  backs  unto  thee.  And  I  will 
send  the  hornet  before  thee,  which  shall  drive  out 
the  Hi'vite,  the  Ca'naan-ite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  from  be- 

29  fore  thee.  I  will  not  drive  them  out  from  before 
thee  in  one  year ;  lest  the  land  become  desolate,  and 

30  the  beast  of  the  field  multiply  against  thee.  By 
little  and  little  I  will  drive  them  out  from  before 
thee,  until  thou  be  increased,  and  inherit  the  land. 

31  And  I  will  set  thy  border  from  the  Red  Sea  even 
unto  the  sea  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  from  the  wilder- 
ness unto  *the  River :  for  I  will  deliver  the  inhab- 
itants of  the  land  into  your  hand :  and  thou  shalt 

32  drive  them  out  before  thee.     Thou  shalt  make  no 

33  covenant  with  them,  nor  with  their  gods.  They 
shall  not  dwell  in  thy  land,  lest  they  make  thee 
sin  against  me :  for  if  thou  serve  their  gods,  it  will 
surely  be  a  snare  unto  thee. 

^^  And  he  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Come  up  unto  the 
Lord,  thou,  and  Aa'ron,  Na'dab,  and  A-bi'hu,  and 
seventy  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  worship  ye  afar 

2  off :  and  Mo'ses  alone  shall  come  near  unto  the 
Lord  ;  but  they  shall  not  come  near ;  neither  shall 

3  the  people  go  up  with  him.  And  Mo'ses  came  and 
told  the  people  all  the  words  of  the  Lord,  and  all 
the  judgements :  and  all  the  people  answered  with 
one  voice,  and  said.  All  the  words  which  the  Lord 

4  hath  spoken  will  we  do.  And  Mo'ses  wrote  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord,  and  rose  up  early  in  the  morn- 
ing, and  builded  an  altar  under  the  mount,  and 
twelve   pillars,   according   to    the   twelve  tribes  of 

5  Is'ra-el.  And  he  sent  young  men  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  which  offered  burnt  offerings,  and  sacri- 

6  ficed  peace  offerings  of  oxen  unto  the  Lord.  And 
Mo'ses  took  half  of  the  blood,  and  put  it  in  basons ; 
and  half  of  the   blood  he  sprinkled  on  the  altar.

7  And  he  Hook  the  book  of  the  covenant,  and  read  in  the 
audience  of  the  people :  and  they  said,  'AH  that  the  Lord 
hath  said  will  we  do,  and  be  obedient. 

8  And  Mo'ses  took  the  blood,  and  sprinkled  it  on  the 
people,  and  said,  Behold  *the  blood  of  the  covenant,  which 
the  Lord  hath  made  with  you  concerning  all  these  words. 

9  ^Then  Hvent  up  Mo'ses,  and  Aa'ron,  Na'dab,  and 
A-bi'hu,  and  seventy  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el ; 

10  And  they  "saw  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  and  there  was  under 
his  feet  as  it  were  a  paved  work  of  a  "sapphire  stone,  and  as 
it  were  the  "body  of  heaven  in  his  clearness. 

11  And  upon  the  nobles  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  he  "laid 
not  his  hand:  also  'they  saw  God,  and  did  ""eat  and  drink. 

12  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Come  up  to  me  into 
the  mount,  and  be  there :  and  I  will  give  thee  tables  of 
stone,  and  a  law,  and  commandments  which  I  have  written ; 
that  thou  mayest  teach  them. 

13  And  Mo'ses  rose  up,  and  "his  minister  Josh'u-a;  and 
Mo'ses  "went  up  into  the  mount  of  God. 

14  And  he  said  unto  the  elders.  Tarry  ye  here  for  us,  until 
we  come  again  unto  you :  and,  behold,  Aa'ron  and  Hur  are 
with  you :  if  any  man  have  any  matters  to  do,  let  him  come 
unto  them. 

15  And  Mo'ses  went  up  into  the  mount,  and  ''a  cloud  cov- 
ered the  mount. 

16  And  "the  glory  of  the  Lord  abode  upon  mount  Si'nai, 
and  the  cloud  covered  it  six  days ;  and  the  seventh  day  he 
called  unto  Mo'ses  out  of  the  midst  of  the  cloud. 

1 7  And  the  sight  of  the  glory  of  the  Lord  was  like'devouring 
fire  on  the  top  of  the  mount  in  the  eyesof  the  childrenof  Is'ra-el. 

18  And  Mo'ses  went  into  the  midst  of  the  cloud,  and  gat 
him  up  into  the  mount:  and  "Mo'ses  was  in  the  mount  forty 
days  and  forty  nights. 

CHAPTER  XXV. 

The  form  of  the  ark— The  mercy  seat  with  the  cherubim,  etc. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  fbring 
mean   ||  offering:  "of  every  man  that   giveth   it  willingly 
with  his  heart  ye  shall  take  my  offering. 

3  And  this  is  the  offering  which  ye  shall  take  of  them ; 
gold,  and  silver,  and  brass, 

4  And  blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  ||  fine  linen,  and 
goats'  hair, 

5  And  rams'  skins  dyed  red,  and  badgers'  skins,  and 
shittim  wood, 

6  ""Oil  for  the  light,  ''spices  for  anointing  oil,  and  for  ''sweet 
incense, 

7  Onyx  stones,  and  stones  to  be  set  in  the  'ephod,  and  in 
the  -''breastplate. 

8  And  let  them  make  me  a  "sanctuary ;  that  ""I  may  dwell 
among  them. 

9  'According  to  all  that  I  shew  thee,  ajter  the  pattern  of 
the  tabernacle,  and  the  pattern  of  all  the  instruments  thereof, 
even  so  shall  ye  make  it. 

10  ^*And  they  shall  make  an  ark  of  shittim  wood:  two  cubits 
and  a  half  shall  be  the  length  thereof,  and  a  cubit  and  a  half 
the  breadth  thereof,  and  a  cubit  and  a  half  the  height  thereof. 

11  And  thou  shalt  overlay  it  with  pure  gold,  within  and 
without  shalt  thou  overlay  it,  and  shalt  make  upon  it  a 
crown  of  gold  round  about. 

12  And  thou  shalt  cast  four  rings  of  gold  for  it,  and  put 
them  in  the  four  corners  thereof;  and  two  rings  shall  be  in 
the  one  side  of  it,  and  two  rings  in  the  other  side  of  it. 

13  And  thou  shalt  make  staves  of  shittim  wood,  and  over- 
lay them  with  gold. 

14  And  thou  shalt  put  the  staves  into  the  rings  by  the 
sides  of  the  ark,  that  the  ark  may  be  borne  with  them. 

15  'The  staves  shall  be  in  the  rings  of  the  ark:  they  shall 
not  be  taken  from  it. 


7  And  he  took  the  book  of  the  covenant,  and  read  in 
the  audience  of  the  people :  and  they  said,  All  that 
the  Lord  hath  spoken  will  we  do,  and  be  obedient. 

8  And  Mo'ses  took  the  blood,  and  sprinkled  it  on  the 
people,  and  said.  Behold  the  blood  of  the  covenant, 
which  the  Lord  hath  made  with  you  'concerning  all 

9  these  words.  Then  went  up  Mo'ses,  and  Aa'ron, 
Na'dab,  and  A-bi'hu,  and  seventy  of  the  elders  of  Is'- 

lOra-el:  and  they  saw  the  God  of  I.«'ra-el;  and  there 
was  under  his  feet  as  it  were  ^a  paved  work  of  sap- 
phire stone,  and    as    it  were  the   very  heaven  for 

11  clearness.  And  upon  the  nobles  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  he  laid  not  his  hand :  and  they  beheld  God, 
and  did  eat  and  drink. 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Come  up  to  me 
into  the  mount,  and  be  there :  and  I  will  give  thee 
the  tables  of  stone,  and  the  law  and  the  command- 

■  ment,  which  I  have  written,  that  thou  mayest  teach 

13  them.    And  Mo'ses  rose  up,  and  Josh'u-a  his  minister: 

14  and  Mo'ses  went  up  into  the  mount  of  God.  And 
he  said  unto  the  elders.  Tarry  ye  here  for  us,  until 
we  come  again  unto  you :  and,  behold,  Aa'ron  and 
Hur  are  with  you :  whosoever  hath  a  cause,  let  him 

15  come  near  unto  them.     And    Mo'ses  went  up  into 

16  the  mount,  and  the  cloud  covered  the  mount.  And 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  abode  upon  mount  Si'nai,  and 
the  cloud  covered  it  six  days :  and  the  seventh  day 
he  called  unto  Mo'ses  out  of  the  midst  of  the  cloud. 

17  And  the  appearance  of  the  glory  of  the  Lord  was 
like  devouring  fire  on  the  top  of  the  mount  in  the 

18  eyes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  Mo'ses  entered 
into  the  midst  of  the  cloud,  and  went  up  into  the 
mount :  and  Mo'ses  was  in  the  mount  forty  days  and 
forty  nights. 

^O  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  take  for 

me  an  'offering :  of  every  man  whose  heart  maketh 
Shim  willing  ye  shall  take  my  'offering.     And  this  is 

the  'offering  which  ye  shall  take  of  them;  gold, 
4 and  silver,  and  brass;   and  blue,  and  purple,  and 

5  scarlet,  and  *fine  linen,  and  goats'  hair ;  and  rams' 
skins  dyed  red,  and  'sealskins,   and   acacia  wood ; 

6  oil   for   the    light,    spices    for    the    anointing   oil, 
7 and    for    the    sweet    incense:    'onyx    stones,    and 

stones  to  be  set,  for  the  ephod,  and  for  the  breast- 
8 plate.  And  let  them  make  me  a  sanctuary;  that 
91  may  dwell   among  them.     According  to  all  that 

I  shew  thee,  the  pattern  of  the  'tabernacle,  and  the 

pattern   of  all  the   furniture  thereof,  even  so  shall 

ye  make  it. 

10  And  they  shall  make  an  ark  of  acacia  wood: 
two  cubits  and  a  half  shall  be  the  length  thereof, 
and  a  cubit  and  a  half  the  breadth  thereof,  and  a 

11  cubit  and  a  half   the    height   thereof.     And  thou 
•     shalt  overlay  it  with  pure  gold,  within  and  with- 
out shalt  thou  overlay  it,  and  shalt  make  upon  it 

12  a  'crown  of  gold  round  about.  And  thou  shalt 
cast  four  rings  of  gold  for  it,  and  put  them  in  the 
four  feet  thereof;  and  two  rings  shall  be  on  the 
one  'side  of  it,  and  two  rings  on  the  other  'side  of 

13  it.     And  thou  shalt  make  staves   of  acacia  wood, 

14  and  overlay  them  with  gold.  And  thou  shalt  put 
the  staves  into  the  rings  on   the  sides  of  the  ark, 

15  to  bear  the  ark  withal.  The  staves  shall  be  in  the 
rings  of  the  ark:  they  shall  not  be  taken  from  it.

16  And  thou  shalt  put  into  the  ark  ""the  testimony  which 
I  shall  give  thee. 

17  And  "thou  shalt  make  a  mercy  seat  of  pure  gold:  two 
cubits  and  a  half  shall  be  the  length  thereof,  and  a  cubit  and 
a  half  the  breadth  thereof. 

18  And  thou  shalt  make  two  cherubim  of  gold,  q/"  beaten 
work  shalt  thou  make  them,  in  the  two  ends  of  the  mercy  seat. 

19  And  make  one  cherub  on  the  one  end,  and  the  other 
cherub  on  the  other  end:  even  ||of  the  mercy  seat  shall  ye 
make  the  cherubim  on  the  two  ends  thereof. 

20  And  "the  cherubim  shall  stretch  forth  their  wings  on 
high,  covering  the  mercy  seat  with  their  wings,  and  their 
faces  shall  look  one  to  another ;  toward  the  mercy  seat  shall 
the  faces  of  the  cherubim  be. 

21  ''And  thou  shalt  put  the  mercy  seat  above  upon  the 
ark:  and  'in  the  ark  thou  shalt  put  the  testimony  that  I 
shall  give  thee. 

22  And  ''there  I  will  meet  with  thee,  and  I  will  commune 
with  thee  from  above  the  mercy  seat,  from  'between  the  two 
cherubim  which  are  upon  the  ark  of  the  testimony,  of  all 
things  which  I  will  give  thee  in  commandment  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

23  ^'Thou  shalt  also  make  a  table  of  shittim  wood :  two 
cubits  shall  be  the  length  thereof,  and  a  cubit  the  breadth 
thereof,  and  a  cubit  and  a  half  the  height  thereof. 

24  And  thou  shalt  overlay  it  with  pure  gold,  and  make 
thereto  a  crown  of  gold  round  about. 

25  And  thou  shalt  make  unto  it  a  border  of  a  hand- 
breadth  round  about,  and  thou  shalt  make  a  golden  crown 
to  the  border  thereof  round  about. 

26  And  thou  shalt  make  for  it  four  rings  of  gold,  and  put 
the  rings  in  the  four  corners  that  are  on  the  four  feet  thereof. 

27  Over  against  the  border  shall  the  rings  be  for  places  of 
the  staves  to  bear  the  table. 

28  And  thou  shalt  make  the  staves  of  shittim  wood,  and 
overlay  them  with  gold,  that  the  table  may  be  borne  with  them. 

29  And  thou  shalt  make  "the  dishes  thereof,  and  spoons 
thereof,  and  covers  thereof,  and  bowls  thereof,  ||  to  cover 
withal :  of  pure  gold  shalt  thou  make  them. 

30  And  thou  shalt  set  upon  the  table  "shewbread  before 
me  always. 

31  ^"'And  thou  shalt  make  a  candlestick  of  pure  gold :  of 
beaten  work  shall  the  candlestick  be  made :  his  shaft,  and 
his  branches,  his  bowls,  his  knops,  and  his  flowers,  shall  be 
of  the  same. 

32  And  six  branches  shall  come  out  of  the  sides  of  it ;

a  flower  in  one  branch ;  and  three  bowls  made  like  almonds 
in  the  other  branch,  with  a  knop  and  a  flower :  so  in  the  six 
branches  that  come  out  of  the  candlestick. 

34  And  in  the  candlestick  shall  be  four  bowls  made  like 
unto  almonds,  with  their  knops  and  their  flowers.

same,  and  a  knop  under  two  branches  of  the  same,  and  a 
knop  under  two  branches  of  the  same,  according  to  the  six 
branches  that  proceed  out  of  the  candlestick. 

36  Their  knops  and  their  branches  shall  be  of  the  same : 
all  of  it  shall  be  one  beaten  work  of  pure  gold. 

37  And  thou  shalt  make  the  seven  lamps  thereof:  and 
"they  shall  ||  light  the  lamps  thereof,  that  they  may  'give 
light  over  against  fit. 

38  And  the  tongs  thereof,  and  the  snuffdishes  thereof, 
shall  be  of  pure  gold. 

39  0/"  a  talent  of  pure  gold  shall  he  make  it,  with  all  these 
vessels. 

40  And  "look  that  thou  make  them  after  their  pattern, 
fwhich  was  shewed  thee  in  the  mount. 


16  And   thou   shalt  put  into   the  ark    the- tescimony 

17  which  I  shall  give  thee.  And  thou  shalt  make  a 
'mercy-seat  of  pure  gold :  two  cubits  and  a  half 
shall  be  the  length  thereof,  and  a  cubit  and  a  half 

18  the  breadth  thereof.  And  thou  shalt  make  two 
cherubim  of  gold ;  of  ^beaten  work  shalt  thou  make 

19  them,  at  the  two  ends  of  the  mercy -seat.  And 
make  one  cherub  at  the  one  end,  and  one  cherub  at 
the  other  end:  'of  one  piece  with  the  mercy-seat 
shall  ye  make  the  cherubim  on  the  two  ends  thereof. 

20  And  the  cherubim  shall  spread  out  their  wings  on 
high,  covering  the  mercy-seat  with  their  wings,  with 
their  faces  one  to  another;    toward  the  mercy -seat 

21  shall  the  faces  of  the  cherubim  be.  And  thou  shalt 
put  the  mercy -seat  above  upon  the  ark;  and  in  the 
ark  thou  shalt  put  the  testimony  that  I  shall  give 

22  thee.  And  there  I  will  meet  with  thee,  and  I  will 
commune  with  thee  from  above  the  mercy-seat, 
from  between  the  two  cherubim  which  are  upon  the 
ark  of  the  testimony,  of  all  things  which  I  will  give 
thee  in  commandment  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

23  And  thou  shalt  make  a  table  of  acacia  wood :  two 
cubits  shall  be  the  length  thereof,  and  a  cubit  the 
breadth  thereof,  and  a  cubit  and  a  half  the  height 

24  thereof.  And  thou  shalt  overlay  it  with  pure  gold, 
^nd    make   thereto   a  ^crown  of  gold  round  about. 

25  And  thou  shalt  make  unto  it  a  border  of  an  hand- 
breadth  round  about,  and  thou  shalt  make  a  golden 

26  crown  to  the  border  thereof  round  about.  And 
thou  shalt  make  for  it  four  rings  of  gold,  and  put 
the  rings  in  the  four  corners  that  are  on  the  four 

27  feet  thereof.     Close  by  the  border  shall  the  rings  be, 

28  for  places  for  the  staves  to  bear  the  table.  And  thou 
shalt  make  the  staves  of  acacia  wood,  and  overlay 
them  with  gold,  that  the  table  may  be  borne  with 

29  them.  And  thou  shalt  make  the  dishes  thereof,  and 
the  spoons  thereof,  and  the  flagons  thereof,  and  the 
bowls  thereof,  to  pour   out   withal:    of  pure   gold 

30  shalt  thou  make  them.  And  thou  shalt  set  upon 
the  table  ''shewbread  before  me  alway.

three  branches  of  the  candlestick  out  of  the  one 
side  thereof,  and  three  branches  of  the  candlestick 

33  out  of  the  other  side  thereof;  three  cups  made  like 
almond-blossoms  in  one  branch,  a  knop  and  a 
flower;  and  three  cups  made  like  almond-blos- 
soms in  the  other  branch,  a  knop  and  a  flower :

like   almond-blossoms,  the  knops  thereof,  and  the 

35  flowers  thereof:  and  a  knop  under  two  branches  'of 
one  piece  with  it,  and  a  knop  under  two  branches 
'of  one  piece  with  it,  and  a  knop  under  two  branches 
'of  one  piece  with  it,  for  the  six  branches  going  out 

36  of  the  candlestick.  Their  knops  and  their  branches 
shall  be  'of  one  piece  with  it :   the  whole  of  it  one

Directions  /or  the  tabernacle. 

MOREOVER  "thou  shalt  make  the  tabernacle  with  ten  cur-

2  The  length  of  one  curtain  shall  be  eight  and  twenty 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  of  one  curtain  four  cubits :  and  every 
one  of  the  curtains  shall  have  one  measure. 

3  The  five  curtains  shall  be  coupled  together  one  to  an- 
other ;  and  other  five  curtains  shall  be  coupled  one  to  another. 

4  And  thou  shalt  make  loops  of  blue  upon  the  edge  of  the 
one  curtain  from  the  selvedge  in  the  coupling ;  and  likewise 
shalt  thou  make  in  the  uttermost  edge  of  another  curtain,  in 
the  coupling  of  the  second. 

5  Fifty  loops  shalt  thou  make  in  the  one  curtain,  and  fifty 
loops  shalt  thou  make  in  the  edge  of  the  curtain  that  is  in 
the  coupling  of  the  second ;  that  the  loops  may  take  hold 
one  of  another. 

6  And  thou  shalt  make  fifty  taches  of  gold,  and  couple  the 
curtains  together  with  the  taches:  and  it  shall  be  one 
tabernacle. 

7  ^And  'thou  shalt  make  curtains  of  gonts'  hair  to  be  a  cov- 
ering upon  the  tabernacle :  eleven  curtains  shalt  thou  make. 

8  The  length  of  one  curtain  shall  be  thirty  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  of  one  curtain  four  cubits :  and  the  eleven  curtains 
shall  be  all  of  one  measure. 

9  And  thou  shalt  couple  five  curtains  by  themselves,  and 
six  curtains  by  themselves,  and  shalt  double  the  sixth  cur- 
tain in  the  forefront  of  the  tabernacle. 

10  And  thou  shalt  make  fifty  loops  on  the  edge  of  the  one 
curtain  that  is  outmost  in  the  coupling,  and  fifty  loops  in 
the  edge  of  the  curtain  which  coupleth  the  second. 

11  And  thou  shalt  make  fifty  taches  of  brass,  and  put  the 
taches  into  the  loops,  and  couple  the  ||  tent  together,  that  it 
may  be  one. 

12  And  the  remnant  that  remaineth  of  the  curtains  of  the 
tent,  the  half  curtain  that  remaineth,  shall  hang  over  the 
back  side  of  the  tabernacle. 

13  And  a  cubit  on  the  one  side,  and  a  cubit  on  the  other 
side  fof  that  which  remaineth  in  the  length  of  the  curtains 
of  the  tent,  it  shall  hang  over  the  sides  of  the  tabernacle  on 
this  side  and  on  that  side,  to  cover  it. 

14  And  "thou  shalt  make  a  covering  for  the  tent  of  rams' 
skins  dyed  red,  and  a  covering  above  of  badgers'  skins. 

15  ^And  thou  shalt  make  boards  for  the  tabernacle  of 
shittim  wood  standing  up. 

16  Ten  cubits  shall  be  the  length  of  a  board,  and  a  cubit 
and  a  half  shall  be  the  breadth  of  one  board. 

17  Two  ftenons  shall  there  be  in  one  board,  set  in  order 
one  against  another:  thus  shalt  thou  make  for  all  the  boards 
of  the  tabernacle. 

18  And  thou  shalt  make  the  boards  for  the  tabernacle, 
twenty  boards  on  the  south  side  southward. 

19  And  thou  shalt  make  forty  sockets  of  silver  under  the 
twenty  boards;  two  sockets  under  one  board  for  his  two 
tenons,  and  two  sockets  under  another  board  for  his  two 
tenons. 

20  And  for  the  second  side  of  the  tabernacle  on  the  north 
side  there  shall  be  twenty  boards, 

21  And  their  forty  sockets  of  silver ;  two  sockets  under 
one  board,  and  two  sockets  under  another  board. 

22  And  for  the  sides  of  the  tabernacle  westward  thou  shalt 
make  six  boards. 

23  And  two  boards  shalt  thou  make  for  the  comers  of  the 
tabernacle  in  the  two  sides. 

24  And  they  shall  be  fcoupled  together  beneath,  and  they 
shall  be  coupled  together  above  the  head  of  it  unto  one 
ring :  thus  snail  it  be  for  them  both ;  they  shall  be  for  the 
two  corners. 


-^O  Moreover  thou  shalt  make  the  'tabernacle  with 
ten  curtains;  of  fine  twined  linen,  and  blue,  and 
purple,  and  scarlet,  with  cherubim  the  work  of  the 

2  cunning  workman  shalt  thou  make  them.  The 
length  of  each  curtain  shall  be  eight  and  twenty 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  of  each  curtain  four  cubits : 

3  all  the  curtains  shall  have  one  measure.  Five  cur- 
tains shall  be  coupled  together  one  to  another; 
and  the  other  five  curtains  shall  be  coupled  one  to 

4  another.  And  thou  shalt  make  loops  of  blue  upon 
the  edge  of  the  one  curtain  ^from  the  selvedge  in 
the  coupling ;  and  likewise  shalt  thou  make  in  the 
edge  of  the  curtain  that  is  outmost  in  the  second 

5  'coupling.  Fifty  loops  shalt  thou  make  in  the  one 
curtain,  and  fifty  loops  shalt  thou  make  in  the  edge 
of  the  curtain  that  is  in    the  second  'coupling ;  the 

6  loops  shall  be  opposite  one  to  another.  And  thou 
shalt  make  fifty  clasps  of  gold,  and  couple  the  cur- 
tains one  to  another  with  the  clasps  :  and  the  taber- 

7  nacle  shall  be  one.  And  thou  shalt  make  curtains 
of  goats'  hair  for  a  tent  over  the  tabernacle :  eleven 

8  curtains  shalt  thou  make  them.  The  length  of  each 
curtain  shall  be  thirty  cubits,  and  the  breadth  of 
each  curtain  four  cubits :    the  eleven  curtains  shall 

9  have  one  measure.  And  thou  shalt  couple  five 
curtains  by  themselves,  and  six  curtains  by  them- 
selves, and  shalt  double  over  the  sixth  curtain   in 

lOthe  forefront  of  the  tent.  And  thou  shalt  make  fifty 
loops  on  the  edge  of  the  one  curtain  that  is  outmost 
in  the  ^coupling,  and  fifty  loops  upon  the  edge  of 
the  curtain  which  is  outmost  in  the  second  'coupling. 

11  And  thou  shalt  make  fifty  clasps  of  brass,  and  put 
the  clasps  into  the  loops,  and  couple  the  tent  to 

12gether,  that  it  may  be  one.  And  the  overhanging 
part  that  remaineth  of  the  curtains  of  the  tent,  the 
half  curtain    that   remaineth,   shall  hang  over  the 

13  back  of  the  tabernacle.  And  the  cubit  on  the  one 
side,  and  the  cubit  on  the  other  side,  of  that  which 
remaineth  in  the  length  of  the  curtains  of  the  tent,

17  half  the  breadth  of  each  board.  Two  tenons  shall

shalt  thou  make  for  all  the  boards  of  the  tabernacle. 

18  And  thou  shalt  make  the  boards  for  the  tabernacle, 

19  twenty  boards  for  the  south  side  southward.  And

two  tenons,  and  two  .sockets  under  another  board 

20 for  its  two  tenons:  and  for  the  second  side  of  the 

21  tabernacle,  on  the  north  side,  twenty  boards :  and 
their  forty  sockets  of  silver;  two  sockets  under 
one  board,  and  two   sockets  under  another  board. 

22  And  for  the  hinder  part  of  the  tabernacle  westward 

23  thou  shalt  make  six  boards.  And  two  boards 
shalt  thou  make  for  the  corners  of  the  tabernacle 

24  in  the  hinder  part.  And  they  shall  be  double 
beneath,  and  in  like  manner  they  .shall  be  entire 
unto  the  top  thereof  unto  'one  ring:  thus  shall  it 
be  for  them  both ;  they  shall  be  for  the  two  corners.

CHAPTER  XXIX. 

Consecrating  the  Priests — The  continual  burnt  offering—God's  promise. 

AND  this  is  the  thing  that  thou  shalt  do  unto  them  to 
hallow  them,  to  minister  unto  me  in  the  priest's  office : 
"Take  one  young  bullock,  and  two  rams  without  blemish,

with  water. 

5  ''And  thou  shalt  take  the  garments,  and  put  upon  Aa'ron

6  -'^And  thou  shalt  put  the  mitre  upon  his  head,  and  put

7  Then  shalt  thou  take  the  anointing  "oil,  and  pour  it  upon 
his  head,  and  anoint  him. 

8  And  *thou  shalt  bring  his  sons,  and  put  coats  upon  them. 

9  And  thou  shalt  gird  them  with  girdles,  Aa'ron  and  his 
sons,  and  tput  the  bonnets  on  them  :  and  'the  priest's  office 
shall  be  theirs  for  a  perpetual  statute  :  and  thou  shalt  t*con- 
secrate  Aa'ron  and  his  sons. 

10  And  thou  shalt  cause  a  bullock  to  be  brought  before 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  ;  and  'Aa'ron  and  his  sons 
shall  put  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the  bullock. 

11  And  thou  shalt  kill  the  bullock  before  the  Lord,  by  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation.

all  the  blood  beside  the  bottom  of  the  altar.

inwards,  and  ||the  caul  that  is  above  the  liver,  and  the  two 
kidneys,  and  the  fat  that  is  upon  them,  and  burn  <Aewi  upon 
the  altar. 

14  But  "the  flesh  of  the  bullock,  and  his  .skin,  and  his  dung, 
shalt  thou  burn  with  fire  without  the  camp:  it  i«  a  sin  offering. 


36  And  thou  shalt  make  a  plate  of  pure  gold,  and 
grave  upon  it,  like  the  engravings  of  a  signet,  holy 

37  TO  THE  LORD.  And  thou  shalt  put  it  on  a  lace  of 
blue,  and  it  shall  be  upon  the  'mitre ;  upon  the  fore- 

38  front  of  the  'mitre  it  shall  be.  And  it  shall  be  upon 
Aa'ron's  forehead,  and  Aa'ron  shall  bear  the  iniquity

hallow  in  all  their  holy  gifts ;  and  it  shall  be  always 
upon  his  forehead,  that  they  may  be  accepted  before 

39  the  Lord.  And  thou  shalt  weave  the  coat  in 
chequer  work  of  ^fine  linen,  and  thou  shalt  make  a 
'mitre  of  ^fine  linen,  and  thou  shalt  make  a  girdle, 

40  the  work  of  the  embroiderer.  And  for  Aa'ron's 
sons  thou  shalt  make  coats,  and  thou  shalt  make 
for  them  girdles,  and  headtires  shalt  thou  make  for 

41  them,  for  glory  and  for  beauty.  And  thou  shalt  put 
them  upon  Aa'ron  thy  brother,  and  upon  his  sons 
with  him;  and  shalt  anoint  them,  and  'consecrate 
them,   and   sanctify  them,   that  they  may  minister 

42  unto  me  in  the  priest's  office.  And  thou  shalt 
make  them  linen  breeches  to  cover  the  flesh  of  their 
nakedness ;  from  the  loins  even  unto  the  thighs  they 

43  shall  reach  :  and  they  shall  be  upon  Aa'ron,  and  upon

die  :  it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  unto  him  and  unto 
his  seed  after  him.

leavened mingled  with  oil,  and  wafers  unleavened 
anointed  with  oil :  of  fine  wheaten  flour  shalt  thou 

3  make  them.  And  thou  shalt  put  them  into  one  bas- 
ket, and  bring  them  in  the  basket,  with  the  bullock 

4  and  the  two  rams.  And  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  thou 
shalt  bring  unto  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting, 

5  and  shalt  wash  them  with  water.  And  thou  shalt 
take  the  garments,  and  put  upon  Aa'ron  the  coat, 
and  the  robe  of  the  ephod,  and  the  ephod,  and  the 
breastplate,  and  gird  him  with  the  cunningly  woven 

6  band  of  the  ephod :  and  thou  shalt  set  the  'mitre 
upon  his  head,  and  put  the  holy  crown   upon   the 

7  'mitre.     Then  shalt  thou  take  the  anointing  oil,  and 

8  pour  it  u]ion  his  head,  and  anoint  him.  And  thou 
shalt   bring  his   sons,   and    put  coats   upon    them. 

9  And  thou  shalt  gird  them  with  girdles,  Aa'ron  and 
his  sons,  and  bind  headtires  on  them  :  and  they 
shall  have  the  priesthood  by  a  perpetual  statute : 
and    thou    shalt    consecrate    Aa'ron   and   his   sons. 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  the  bullock  before  the  tent 
of  meeting :    and    A'aron    and    his   sons   shall  lay 

11  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the  bullock.  And 
thou  shalt  kill  the  bullock  before  the  Lord,  at  the 

12  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  thou  shalt  take 
of  the  blood  of  the  bullock,  and  put  it  upon  the 
horns  of  the  altar  with  thy  finger ;  and  thou  shalt 
pour  out  all  the   blood  at  the  base   of  the    altar. 

13  And  thou  shalt  take  all  the  fat  that  covereth  the 
inwards,  and  the  caul  upon  the  liver,  and  the  two 
kidneys,  and  the  fat  that  is  upon  them,  and  burn 

14  them  upon  the  altar.  But  the  fle.sh  of  the  bul- 
lock, and  its  skin,  and  its  dung,  shalt  thou  burn 
with   fire   without  the  camp :  it  is  a  *sin  offering.

16  And  thou  shalt  slay  the  ram,  and  thou  shalt  take  his 
blood,  and  sprinkle  it  round  about  upon  the  altar. 

17  And  thou  shalt  cut  the  ram  in  pieces,  and  wash  the 
inwards  of  him,  and  his  legs,  and  put  <Aewi  unto  his  pieces, 
and  II  unto  his  head. 

18  And  thou  shalt  burn  the  whole  ram  upon  the  altar:  it

offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

19  ^'And  thou  shalt  take  the  other  ram ;  and  Aa'ron 
and  his  sons  shall  put  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the

offering  unto  the  Lord. 

29  ^And  the  holy  garments  of  Aa'ron  ■'^shall  be  his  sons'

tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

33  And  ""they  shall  eat  those  things  wherewith  the  atone-

16  ram.  And  thou  shalt  slay  the  ram,  and  thou  shalt

the  Lord  :  it  is  a  sweet  savour,  an  offering  made  by 

19  fire  unto  the  Lord.  And  thou  shalt  take  the  other 
ram ;  and  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  shall  lay  their  hands 

20  upon  the  head  of  the  ram.  Then  shalt  thou  kill 
the  ram,  and  take  of  its  blood,  and  put  it  upon  the 
tip  of  the  right  ear  of  Aa'ron,  and  upon  the  tip  of 
the  right  ear  of  his  sons,  and  upon  the  thumb  of 
their  right  hand,  and  upon  the  great  toe  of  their

with  him;  and  he  shall  be  hallowed,  and  his  gar-

22  him.  Also  thou  shalt  take  of  the  ram  the  fat,  and 
the  fat  tail,  and  the  fat  that  covereth  the  inwards, 
and  the  caul  of  the  liver,  and  the  two  kidneys,  and 
the  fat  that  is  upon  them,  and  the  right  ^thigh ;  for 

23  it  is  a  ram  of  consecration :  and  one  loaf  of  bread, 
and  one  cake  of  oiled  bread,  and  one  wafer,  out  of 
the  basket  of  unleavened  bread  that  is  before  the 

24  Lord  :  and  thou  shalt  put  the  whole  upon  the  hands 
of  Aa'ron,  and  upon  the  hands  of  his  sons ;  and  shalt 
wave  them  for  a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord 

25  And  thou  shalt  take  them  from  their  hands,  and 
burn  them  on  the  altar  upon  the  burnt  offering,  for 
a  sweet  savour  before  the  Lord:   it  is  an  offering 

26  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord.  And  thou  shalt  take 
the  breast  of  Aa'ron's  ram  of  consecration,  and  wave 
it  for  a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord  :  and  it  shall 

27  be  thy  portion.  And  thou  shalt  sanctify  the  breast 
of  the  wave  offering,  and  the  ^thigh  of  the  heave 
offering,  which  is  waved,  and  which  is  heaved  up, 
of  the  ram  of  consecration,  even  of  that  which  is  for 

28  Aa'ron,  and  of  that  which  is  for  his  sons :  and  it  shall 
be  for  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  as  a  due  for  ever  from  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el :  for  it  is  an  heave  offering :  and  it 
shall  be  an  heave  offering  from  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
of  the  sacrifices  of  their  peace  offerings,  even  their 

29  heave  offering  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  holy  gar- 
ments of  Aa'ron  shall  be  for  his  sons  after  him,  to 
be  anointed  in  them,  and  to  be  consecrated  in  them. 

30  Seven  days  shall  the  son  that  is  priest  in  his  stead 
put  them  on,  when  he  cometh  into  the  tent  of  meet- 

31  ing  to  minister  in  the  holy  place.  And  thou  shalt  take 
the  ram  of  consecration,  and  seethe  its  flesh  in  a  holy 

32  place.  And  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  shall  eat  the  flesh  of 
the  ram,  and  the  bread  that  is  in  the  basket,  at  the 

33  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  they  shall  eat 
those  things  wherewith  atonement  was  made,  to  con- 
secrate and  to  sanctify  them :  but  a  stranger  shall  not 

34  eiat  thereof,  because  they  are  holy.  And  if  aught  of 
the  flesh  of  the  consecration,  or  of  the  bread,  remain 
unto  the  morning,  then  thou  shalt  burn  the  remain- 
der with  fire :  it  shall  not  be  eaten,  because  it  is  holy.

35  And  thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  Aa'ron,  and  to  his  sons, 
according  to  all  things  which  I  have  commanded  thee : 
''seven  days  shalt  thou  consecrate  them. 

36  And  thou  shalt  «offer  every  day  a  bullock  for  a  sin 
offering  for  atonement;  and  thou  shalt  cleanse  the  altar, 
when  thou  hast  made  an  atonement  for  it,  ''and  thou  shalt 
anoint  it,  to  sanctify  it. 

37  Seven  days  thou  shalt  make  an  atonement  for  the  altar, 
and  sanctify  it ;  'and  it  shall  be  an  altar  most  holy :  'what- 
soever toucheth  the  altar  shall  be  holy. 

38  ^Now  this  is  that  which  thou  shalt  offer  upon  the  altar ; 
"two  lambs  of  the  first  year  ""day  by  day  continually. 

39  The  one  lamb  thou  shalt  offer  ^in  the  morning;  and 
the  other  lamb  thou  shalt  offer  at  even  : 

40  And  with  the  one  lamb  a  tenth  deal  of  flour  mingled 
with  the  fourth  part  of  a  hin  of  beaten  oil :  and  the  fourth 
part  of  a  hin  of  wine  for  a  drink  offering. 

41  And  the  other  lamb  thou  shalt  ^offer  at  even,  and  shalt 
do  thereto  according  to  the  meat  offering  of  the  morning, 
and  according  to  the  drink  offering  thereof,  for  a  sweet 
savour,  an  offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

42  This  shall  he  'a  continual  burnt  offering  throughout 
your  generations  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation before  the  Lord,  "where  I  will  meet  you,  to  speak 
there  unto  thee. 

43  And  there  I  will  meet  with  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
II  the  tabernacle  ''shall  be  sanctified  by  my  glory. 

44  And  I  will  sanctify  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
and  the  altar :  I  will  "sanctify  also  both  Aa'ron  and  his  sons, 
to  minister  to  me  in  the  priest's  office. 

45  ^And  ''I  will  dwell  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
will  be  their  God. 

46  And  they  shall  know  that  '1  am  the  Lord  their  God, 
that  brought  them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  that  I 
may  dwell  among  them :  I  am  the  Lord  their  God. 

CHAPTER  XXX. 

Altar  of  incense — The  brazen  laver — The  holy  anointing  oil, 

AND  thou  shalt  make  "an  altar  'to  burn  incense  upon : 
of  shittim  wood  shalt  thou  make  it. 

2  A  cubit  shall  he  the  length  thereof,  and  a  cubit  the 
breadth  thereof;  foursquare  shall  it  be ;  and  two  cubits  shall 
be  the  height  thereof;  the  horns  thereof  shall  he  of  the  same. 

3  And  thou  shalt  overlay  it  with  pure  gold,  the  ftop 
thereof,  and  the  fsides  thereof  round  about,  and  the  horns 
thereof;  and  thou  shalt  make  unto  it  a  crown  of  gold 
round  about. 

4  And  two  golden  rings  shalt  thou  make  to  it  under  the 
crown  of  it,  by  the  two  fcorners  thereof,  upon  the  two  sides 
of  it  shalt  thou  make  it;  and  they  shall  be  for  places  for 
the  staves  to  bear  it  withal. 

5  And  thou  shalt  make  the  staves  of  shittim  wood,  and 
overlay  them  with  gold. 

6  And  thou  shalt  put  it  before  the  veil  that  is  by  the  ark 
of  the  testimony,  before  the  "mercy  seat  that  is  over  the 
testimony,  where  I  will  meet  with  thee. 

7  And  Aa'ron  shall  burn  thereon  f'^sweet  incense  every 
morning:  when  "he  dresseth  the  lamps,  he  shall  burn  in- 
cense upon  it. 

8  And  when  Aa'ron  ||  flighteth  the  lamps  fat  even,  he 
shall  burn  incense  upon  it,  a  perpetual  incense  before  the 
Lord  throughout  your  generations. 

9  Ye  shall  offer  no  -^strange  incense  thereon,  nor  burnt 
sacrifice,  nor  meat  offering;  neither  shall  ye  pour  drink 
offering  thereon.  , 

10  And  "Aa'ron  shall  make  an  atonement  upon  the  horns  of 
it  once  in  a  year  with  the  blood  of  the  sin  offering  of  atone- 
ments; once  in  a  year  shall  he  make  atonement  upon  it 
throughout  your  generations :  it  i»  most  holy  unto  the  Lord. 


35  And  thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  Aa'ron,  and  to  his  sons, 
according  to  all  that  I  have  commanded  thee :  seven 

36  days  shalt  thou  consecrate  them.  And  every  day 
shalt  thou  offer  the  bullock  of  sin  offering  for  atone- 
ment :  and  thou  shalt  'cleanse  the  altar,  when  thou 
makest  atonement  for  it ;  and  thou  shalt  anoint  it,  to 

37  sanctify  it.  Seven  days  thou  shalt  make  atonement 
for  the  altar,  and  sanctify  it :  and  the  altar  shall  be 
most  holy ;  ^whatsoever  toucheth  the  altar  shall  be 
holy. 

38  Now  this  is  that  which  thou  shalt  offer  upon  the 
altar;  two  lambs  of  the  first  year  day  by  day  con- 

39  tinually.  The  one  lamb  thou  shalt  offer  in  the  morn- 
ing ;  and  the  other  lamb  thou  shalt   offer  'at  even : 

40  and  with  the  one  lamb  a  tenth  part  of  an  ephah  of 
fine  flour  mingled  with  the  fourth  part  of  an  hin  of 
beaten  oil ;  and  the  fourth  part  of  an  hin  of  wine  for 

41a  drink  offering.  And  the  other  lamb  thou  shalt 
offer  'at  even,  and  shalt  do  thereto  according  to  the 
meal  offering  of  the  morning,  and  according  to  the 
drink  offering  thereof,  for  a  sweet  savour,  an  offer- 

42ing  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord.  It  shall  be  a  con- 
tinual burnt  offering  throughout  your  generations 
at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting  before  the  Lord: 
where  I  will   meet  with   you,  to  speak  there  unto 

43  thee.  And  there  I  will  meet  with  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el ;  and  the  Tent  shall  be  sanctified  by  my  glory. 

44  And  I  will  sanctify  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  the 
altar:  Aa'ron  also  and  his  sons  will  I  sanctify,  to 

45  minister  to  me  in  the  priest's  office.  And  I  will 
dwell  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  will  be 

46  their  God.  And  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord  their  God,  that  brought  them  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  that  I  may  dwell  among  them : 
I  am  the  Lord  their  God. 

^v      And  thou  shalt  make  an  altar  to  burn  incense 

2  upon :  of  acacia  wood  shalt  thou  make  it.  A  cubit 
shall  be  the  length  thereof,  and  a  cubit  the  breadth 
thereof;  foursquare  shall  it  be :  and  two  cubits  shall 
be  the  height  thereof:  the  horns  thereof  shall  be 

3  of  one  piece  with  it.  And  thou  shalt  overlay  it  with 
pure  gold,  the  ^top  thereof,  and  the  "sides  thereof 
round  about,  and  the  horns  thereof;  and  thou  shalt 

4  make  unto  it  a  'crown  of  gold  round  about.  And  two 
golden  rings  shalt  thou  make  for  it  under  the  crown 
thereof,  upon  the  two  ribs  thereof,  upon  the  two  sides 
of  it  shalt  thou  make  them;  and  they  shall  be  for 

5  places  for  staves  to  bear  it  withal.  And  thou  shalt 
make  the  staves  of  acacia  wood,  and  overlay  them 

6  with  gold.  And  thou  shalt  put  it  before  the  veil  that 
is  by  the  ark  of  the  testimony,  before  the  mercy -seat 
that  is  over  the  testimony,where  I  will  meet  with  thee. 

7  And  Aa'ron  shall  burn  thereon  incense  of  sweet 
spices:  every  morning,  when  he  dresseth  the  lamps, 

8  he  shall  burn  it.  And  when  Aa'ron  'lighteth  the  lamps 
'at    even,    he   shall    burn    it,    a   perpetual   incense 

9  before  the  Lord  throughout  your  generations.  Ye 
shall  offer  no  strange  incense  thereon,  nor  burnt 
offering,   nor  meal    offering;  and  ye  shall  pour  no 

10 drink  offering  thereon.  And  Aa'ron  shall  make 
atonement  'upon  the  horns  of  it  once  in  the  year: 
with  the  blood  of  the  sin  offering  of  atonement  once 
in  the  year  shall  he  make  atonement  'for  it  through- 
out your  generations :  it  is  most  holy  unto  the 
Lord.  I

11  And  the  Loed  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

12  '■"When  thou  takest  the  sum  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
after  ftheii-  number,  then  shall  they  give  every  man  'a 
ramsom  for  his  soul  unto  the  Lord,  when  thou  numberest 
them;  that  there  be  no  'plague  among  them,  when  thou 
numberest  them. 

13  'This  they  shall  give,  every  one  that  passeth  among 
them  that  are  numbered,  half  a  shekel  after  the  shekel  of 
the  sanctuary :  ("'a  shekel  is  twenty  gerahs :)  "a  half  shekel 
shall  be  the  oiFeriug  of  the  LoBD. 

14  Every  one  that  passeth  among  them  that  are  numbered, 
from  twenty  years  old  and  above,  shall  give  an  offering  unto 
the  Lord. 

15  The  "rich  shall  not  tgive  more,  and  the  poor  shall 
not  tgive  less,  than  half  a  shekel,  when  they  give  an  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord,  to  make  an  ''atonement  for  your  souls. 

16  And  thou  shalt  take  the  atonement  money  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  'shalt  appoint  it  for  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation;  that  it  may  be  ''a 
memorial  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  before  the  Lord,  to 
make  an  atonement  for  your  souls. 

17  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

18  'Thou  shalt  also  make  a  laver  of  brass,  and  his  foot 
also  of  brass,  to  wash  withal :  and  thou  shalt  'put  it  between 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  and  the  altar,  and  thou 
shalt  put  water  therein. 

19  For  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  "shall  wash  their  hands  and

28  And  the  altar  of  burnt  offering  with  all  his  vessels,  and 
the  laver  and  his  foot. 

29  And  thou  shalt  sanctify  them,  that  they  may  be  most

30  •'^And  thou  shalt  anoint  Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  and  conse-

ing. This  shall  be  a  holy  anointing  oil  unto  me  throughout 
your  generations. 

32  Upon  man's  flesh  shall  it  not  be  potired,  neither  shall

33  ''Whosoever  compoundeth  any  like  it,  or  whosoever 
putteth  any  of  it  upon  a  stranger,  'shall  even  be  cut  off

with  pure  frankincense :  of  each  shall  there  be  a  like  weight  :

And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  When 
thou  takest  the  sum  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  ac- 
cording to  those  that  are  numbered  of  them,  then 
shall  they  give  every  man  a  ransom  for  his  soul 
unto  the  Lord,  when  thou  numberest  them;  that 
there  be  no  plague  among  them,  when  thou  num 

13  berest  them.  This  they  shall  give,  every  one  that 
passeth  over  unto  them  that  are  numbered,  half  a 
shekel  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary :  (the  shekel 
is  twenty  gerahs:)  half  a  shekel  for  an  offering  to 

14  the  Lord.  Every  one  that  passeth  over  unto  them 
that  are  numbered,  from  twenty  years  old  and  up- 

15  ward,  shall  give  the  offering  of  the  Lord.  The  rich 
shall  not  give  more,  and  the  poor  shall  not  give 
less,  than  the  half  shekel,  when  they  give  the  offer- 
ing of  the  Lord,  to  make  atonement  for  your  souls. 

16  And  thou  shalt  take  the  atonement  money  from  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  shalt  appoint  it  for  the  serv- 
ice of  the  tent  of  meeting;  that  it  may  be  a  memo- 
rial for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  before  the  Lord,  to 
make  atonement  for  your  souls. 

\l  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Thou 
shalt  also  make  a  laver  of  brass,  and  the  base  thereof 
of  brass,  to  wash  withal :  and  thou  shalt  put  it 
between  the  tent  of  meeting  and  the  altar,  and  thou 

19  shalt  put  water  therein.     And  Aa'ron  and  his  sons 

20  shall  wash  their  hands  and  their  feet  thereat :  when 
they  go  into  the  tent  of  meeting,  they  shall  wash 
with  water,  that  they  die  not;  or  when  they  come 
near  to   the  altar  to  minister,  to  burn  an  offering 

21  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord  :  so  they,  shall  wash 
their  hands  and  their  feet,  that  they  die  not :  and  it 
shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  to  them,  even  to  him  and 
to  his  seed  throughout  their  generations. 

22  Moreover  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,   saying, 

23  Take  thou  also  unto  thee  the  chief  spices,  of  flowing 
myrrh  five  hundred  shekels,  and  of  sweet  cinnamon 
half  so  much,  even  two  hundred  and  fifty,  and  of 

24  sweet  calamus  two  hundred  and  fifty,  and  of  'cassia 
five  hundred,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary,  and 

25  of  olive  oil  an  hin  :  and  thou  shalt  make  it  an  holy 
anointing  oil,  a  perfume  compounded  after  the  art 
of  the  perfumer :  it  snail  be  an  holy  anointing  oil. 

26  And  thou  shalt  anoint  therewith  the  tent  of  meeting, 

27  and  the  ark  of  the  testimony,  and  the  table  and  all 
the   vessels   thereof,  and   the   candlestick   and   the 

28  vessels  thereof,  and  the  altar  of  incense,  and  the 
altar  of  burnt  offering  with  all  the  vessels  thereof, 

29  and  the  laver  and  the  base  thereof.  And  thou  shalt 
sanctify  them,  that  they  may  be  most  holy :  ^what- 

30  soever  toucheth  them  shall  be  holy.  And  thou 
shalt  anoint  Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  and  sanctify  them, 
that    they   may    minister    unto  me    in  the   priest's 

31  office.  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying.  This  shall  be  an  holy  anointing  oil 

32  unto  me  throughout  your  generations.  Upon  the 
flesh  of  man  shall  it  not  be  poured,  neither  shall  ye 
make  any  like  it,  according  to  the  composition 
thereof:  it  is  holy,  and  it  shall  be  holy  unto  you. 

33  Whosoever  compoundeth  any  like  it,  or  whosoever 
putteth  any  of  it  upon  a  stranger,  he  shall  be  cut 
off  from  his  people. 

34  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Take  unto  thee 
sweet  spices,  'staote,  and  onycha,  and  galba- 
num ;     sweet   spices    with    pure    frankincense :    of 

35  each  shall  there  be  a  like  weight ;  and  thou  shalt 
make  of  it  incense,  a  perfume  after  the  art  of 
the  perfumer,  ^seasoned  with  salt,  pure  and  holy :

CHAPTER  XXXI. 

Observation  of  the  sabbath  again  commanded— Moses  receiveth  the  two  tables. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  "See,  I  have  called  by  name  Be-zal'e-el  the  *son  of 
U'ri,  the  son  of  Hur,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah : 

3  And  I  have  ''filled  him  with  the  spirit  of  God,  in  wisdom, 
and  in  understanding,  and  in  knowledge,  and  in  all  manner 
of  workmanship, 

4  To  devise  cunning  works,  to  work  in  gold,  and  in  silver, 
and  in  brass, 

5  And  in  cutting  of  stones,  to  set  ihetm,  and  in  carving  of 
timber,  to  work  in  all  manner  of  workmanship. 

6  And  I,  behold,  I  have  given  with  him  ''A-ho'li-ab  the  son 
of  A-his'a-mach,  of  the  tribe  of  Dan :  and  in  the  hearts  of 
all  that  are  'wise  hearted  I  have  put  wisdom,  that  they 
may  make  all  that  I  have  commanded  thee ; 

7  ^The  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and  'the  ark  of  the 
testimony,  and  Hhe  mercy  seat  that  is  thereupon,  and  all  the 
ffurniture  of  the  tabernacle, 

8  And  'the  table  and  his  furniture,  and  *the  pure  candle- 
stick with  all  his  furniture,  and  the  altar  of  incense, 

9  And  'the  altar  of  burnt  oflFering  with  all  his  furniture, 
and  "the  layer  and  his  foot, 

10  And  "the  clothes  of  service,  and  the  holy  garments  for 
Aa'ron  the  priest,  and  the  garments  of  his  sons,  to  minister 
in  the  priest's  office, 

11  "And  the  anointing  oil,  and  "sweet  incense  for  the 
holy  -plaoe. :  according  to  all  that  I  have  commanded  thee 
shall  they  do. 

12  TfAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

13  Speak  thou  also  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying, 
'Verily  my  sabbaths  ye  shall  keep  :  for  it  ts  a  sign  between 
me  and  you  throughout  your  generations;  that  ye  may 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  that  doth  sanctify  you. 

14  "^Ye  shall  keep  the  sabblth  therefore ;  for  it  is  holy 
unto  you.  Every  one  that  defileth  it  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death :  for  'whosoever  doeth  any  work  therein,  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  among  his  people. 

15  'Six  days  may  work  be  done;  but  in  the  "seventh  is  the 
sabbath  of  rest,  fholy  to  the  Lord  :  whosoever  doeth  any 
work  in  the  sabbath  day,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to  death, 

16  Wherefore  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  keep  the  sab- 
bath, to  observe  the  sabbath  throughout  their  generations, 
for  a  perpetual  covenant. 

17  It  is  *a  sign  between  me  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  for 
ever :  for  "in  six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth, 
and  on  the  seventh  day  he  rested,  and  was  refreshed. 

18  ^And  he  gave  unto  Mo'ses,  when  he  had  made  an  end 
of  communing  with  him  upon  mount  Si'nai,  'two  tables  of 
testimony,  tables  of  stone,  written  with  the  finger  of  God. 

CHARTER  XXXII. 

The  people  make  a  calf— Moses  breaketh  the  tables—He  destroyeth  the  calf. 

AND  when  the  people  saw  that  Mo'ses  "delayed  to  come 
.  down  out  of  the  mount,  the  people  gathered  themselves 
together  unto  Aa'ron,  and  said  unto  him,  'Up,  make  us  gods 
which  shall  "go  before  us ;  for  as  for  this  Mo'ses,  the  man 
that  brought  us  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  we  wot  not 
what  is  become  of  him.

36  and  thou  shalt  beat  some  of  it  very  small,  and  put 
of  it  before  the  testimony  in  the  tent  of  meeting, 
where  I  will  meet  with  thee :  it  shall  be  unto  you 

37  most  holy.  And  the  incense  which  thou  shalt 
make,  according  to  the  composition  thereof  ye 
shall    not   make    for   yourselves :   it   shall   be    unto 

38  thee  holy  for  the  Lord.  Whosoever  shall  make 
like  unto  that,  to  smell  thereto,  he  shall  be  cut  off 
from  his  people. 

^J-*-     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'seS;,    saying, 

2  See,  I  have  called  by  name  Bez'a-lel  the  son  of  U'ri, 

3  the  son  of  Hur,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah  :  and  I  have 
filled  him  with  the  spirit  of  God,  in  wisdom,  and  in 
understanding,  and  in  knowledge,  and  in  all  manner 

4  of  workmanship,  to  devise  cunning  works,  to  work 

5  in  gold,  and  in  silver,  and  in  brass,  and  in  cutting  of 
stones  for  setting,  and  in  carving  of  wood,  to  work 

6  in  all  manner  of  workmanship.  And  I,  behold,  I 
have  appointed  with  him  O-ho'li-ab,  the  son  of 
A-his'a-mach,  of  the  tribe  of  Dan ;  and  in  the  hearts 
of  all  that  are  wise  hearted  I  have  put  wisdom,  that 
they    may  make  all  that  I  have  commanded  thee: 

7  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  the  ark  of  the  testimony, 
and  the  mercy-seat  that  is  thereupon,  and  all  the 

8  furniture  of  the  Tent ;  and  the  table  and  its  vessels, 
and  the  pure  candlestick  with  all  its  vessels,  and  the 

9  altar  of  incense ;  and   the   altar   of   burnt   offering 

10  with  all  its  vessels,  and  the  laver  and  its  base  ;  and 
the  'finely  wrought  garments,  and  the  holy  gar- 
ments for  Aa'ron  the  priest,  and  the  garments  of  his 

11  sons,  to  minister  in  the  priest's  office;  and  the 
anointing  oil,  and  the  incense  of  sweet  spices  for  the 
holy  place  :  according  to  all  that  I  have  commanded 
thee  shall  they  do. 

12  And    the    Lord    spake     unto     Mo'ses,    saying, 

13  Speak  thou  also  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying. 
Verily  ye  shall  keep  my  sabbaths  :  for  it  is  a  sign 
between  me  and  you  throughout  your  generations ; 
that  ye  may  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  which  sanc- 

14tify  you.  Ye  shall  keep  the  sabbath  therefore;  for 
it  is  holy  unto  you :  every  one  that  profaneth  it 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death  :  for  whosoever  doeth 
any  work   therein,  that  soul   shall  be  cut  off  from 

15 among  his  people.  Six  days  shall  work  be  done; 
but  on  the  seventh  day  is  a  sabbath  of  solemn  rest, 
holy  to  the  Lord  :  whosoever  doeth  any  work  in 
the  sabbath   day,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

16  Wherefore  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  keep  the 
sabbath,   to    observe   the   .sabbath  throughout  their 

17  generations,  for  a  perpetual  covenant.  It  is  a  sign 
between  me  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  for  ever :  for 
in  six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth,  and 
on  the  seventh  day  he  rested,  and  was  refreshed. 

1 8  And  he  gave  unto  Mo'ses,when  he  had  made  an  end 
of  communing  with  him  upon  mount  Si'nai,  the  two 
tables  of  the  testimony,  tables  of  stone^  written  with 
the  finger  of  God.

And  when  the  people  saw  that  Mo'ses  delayed  to 
come  down  from  the  mount,  the  people  gathered 
themselves  together  unto  Aa'ron,  and  said  unto  him. 
Up,  make  us  ''gods,  which  shall  go  before  us ;  for  as 
for  this  Mo'ses,  the  man  that  brought  us  up  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  we  know  not  what  is  become  of  him.

earring.s,  which  are  in  the  ears  of  your  wives,  of  your  sons, 
and  of  your  daughters,  and  bring  them  unto  me. 

3  And  all  the  people  brake  off  the  golden  earrings  which 
were  in  their  ears,  and  brought  them  unto  Aa'ron. 

4  'And  he  received  them  at  their  hand,  and  fashioned  it 
with  a  graven  tool,  after  he  had  made  it  a  molten  calf:  and 
they  said,  These  be  thy  gods,  O  Is'ra-el,  which  brought  thee 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

5  And  when  Aa'ron  saw  it,  he  built  an  altar  before  it ;  and 
Aa'ron  made  ■'proclamation,  and  said.  To-morrow  is  a  feast 
to  the  Lord. 

6  And  they  rose  up  early  on  the  morrow,  and  offered 
burnt  offerings,  and  brought  peace  offerings  ;  and  the  "people 
sat  down  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  rose  up  to  play. 

7  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  ''Go,  get  thee  down ; 
for  thy  people,  which  thou  broughtest  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  'have  corrupted  themsekes: 

8  They  have  turned  aside  quickly  out  of  the  way  which  *I 
commanded  them :  they  have  made  them  a  molten  calf,  and 
have  worshipped  it,  and  have  sacrificed  thereunto,  and  said, 
'These  be  thy  gods,  O  Is'ra-el,  which  have  brought  thee  up 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  ""I  have  seen  this  people, 
and,  behold,  it  is  a  stiffneeked  people : 

10  Now  therefore  "let  me  alone,  that  "my  wrath  may  wax 
hot  against  them,  and  that  I  may  consume  them:  and  "I 
will  make  of  thee  a  great  nation. 

11  "And  Mo'ses  besought  fthe  Lord  his  God,  and  said. 
Lord,  why  doth  thy  wrath  wax  hot  against  thy  people, 
which  thou  hast  brought  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt 
with  great  jjower,  and  with  a  mighty  hand  ? 

12  ''Wherefore  should  the  E-gyp'tians  speak,  and  say.  For 
mischief  did  he  bring  them  out,  to  slay  them  in  the  mount- 
ains, and  to  consume  them  from  the  face  of  the  earth? 
Turn  from  thy  fierce  wrath,  and  'repent  of  this  evil  against 
thy  people. 

13  Remember  A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  Is'ra-el,  thy  servants, 
to  whom  thou  'swarest  by  thine  own  self,  and  saidst  unto 
them,  "I  will  multiply  your  seed  as  the  stars  of  heaven,  and 
all  this  land  that  I  have  spoken  of  will  I  give  unto  your 
seed,  and  they  shall  inherit  it  for  ever. 

14  And  the  Lord  "repented  of  the  evil  which  he  thx)ught 
to  do  unto  his  people. 

15  ^And  ^Mo'ses  turned,  and  went  down  from  the  mount, 
and  the  two  tables  of  the  testimony  were  in  his  hand :  the 
tables  were  written  on  both  their  sides ;  on  the  one  side  and 
on  the  other  were  they  written. 

16  And  the  "tables  we?"e  the  work  of  God,  and  the  writing 
was  the  writing  of  God,  graven  upon  the  tables. 

17  And  when  Josh'u-a  heard  the  noise  of  the  people  as  they 
shouted,  he  said  unto  Mo'ses,  There  is  a  noise  of  war  in  the 
camp. 

18  And  he  said,  It  is  not  the  voice  of  them  thai  shout 
for  mastery,  neither  is  it  the  voice  of  them  that  cry  for 
fbeing  overcome ;  but  the  noise  of  them  that  sing  do  I 
hear. 

19  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  he  came  nigh  unto 
the  camp,  that  'he  saw  the  calf,  and  the  dancing :  and  Mo'ses' 
anger  waxed  hot,  and  he  cast  the  tables  out  of  his  hands, 
and  brake  them  beneath  the  mount. 

20  "And  he  took  the  calf  which  they  had  made,  and  burnt 
it  in  the  fire,  and  ground  it  to  powder,  and  strewed  it  upon 
the  water,  and  made  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  drink  of  it. 

21  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  ''What  did  this  peo- 
ple unto  thee,  that  thou  hast  brought  so  great  a  sin  upon 
them? 

22  And  Aa'ron  said.  Let  not  the  anger  of  my  lord  wax 
hot :  "^thou  knowest  the  people,  that  they  are  set  on  mischief. 

23  For  they  said  unto  me,  ''Make  us  gods,  which  shall  go 


rings,  which  are  in  the  ears  of  your  wives,  of  your 
sons,  and  of  your  daughters,  and   bring   them   un 

3  to  me.  And  all  the  people  brake  off  the  golden 
rings  which  were  in  their  ears,  and  brought  them 

4 unto  Aa'ron.  And  he  received  it  at  their  hand, 
and  fashioned  it  with  a  graving  tool,  and  made  it  a 
molten  calf:  and  they  said,  'These  be  thy  gods,  O 
Is'ra-el,  which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the  laud  of 

5  E'gypt.  And  when  Aa'ron  saw  this,  he  built  an 
altar  before  it ;  and  Aa'ron  made  proclamation,  and 

6  said.  To-morrow  shall  be  a  feast  to  the  Lord.  And 
they  rose  up  early  on  the  morrow,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings,  and  brought  peace  offerings;  and  the 
people  sat  down  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  rose  up  to 
play. 

7  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  Go,  get  thee 
down;  for  thy  people,  which  thou  broughtest  up 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  have  corrupted  them- 

8  selves :  they  have  turned  aside  quickly  out  of  the 
way  which  I  commanded  them :  they  have  made 
them  a  molten  calf,  and  have  worshipped  it,  and 
have  sacrificed  unto  it,  and  said,  These  be  thy  gods,  O 
Is'ra-el,  which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of 

9  E'gypt.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  I  have 
seen    this  people,  and,   behold,  it   is   a  stiffneeked 

10  people :  now  therefore  let  me  alone,  that  my  wrath 
may  wax  hot  against  them,  and  that  I  may  consume 

11  them:  and  I  will  make  of  thee  a  great  nation.  And 
Mo'ses  besought  the  Lord  his  God,  and  said.  Lord, 
why  doth  thy  wrath  wax  hot  against  thy  people, 
which  thou  hast  brought  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt  with  great  power  and  with  a  mighty  hand  ? 

12  Wherefore  should  the  E-gyp'tians  speak,  saying. 
For  evil  did  he  bring  them  forth,  to  slay  them  in 
the  mountains,  and  to  consume  them  from  the  face 
of  the  earth  ?     Turn  from  thy  fierce  wrath,  and  re- 

13  pent  of  this  evil  against  thy  people.  Remember 
A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  Is'rael,  thy  servants,  to  whom 
thou  swarest  by  thine  own  self,  and  saidst  unto 
them,  I  will  multiply  your  seed  as  the  stars  of 
heaven,  and  all  this  land  that  I  have  spoken  of  will 
I  giye  unto  your  seed,  and  they  shall  inherit  it  for 

1 4  ever.  And  the  Lord  repented  of  the  evil  which  he 
said  he  would  do  unto  his  people. 

15  And  Mo'ses  turned,  and  went  down  from  the 
mount,  with  the  two  tables  of  the  testimony  in  his 
hand ;  tables  that  were  written  on  both  their  sides ; 
on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other  were  they  written. 

16  And  the  tables  were  the  work  of  God,  and  the 
writing  was  the  writing   of  God,  graven  upon  the 

17  tables.  And  when  Josh'u-a  heard  the  noise  of  the 
people  as  they  shouted,  he  said  unto  Mo'ses,  There 

18  is  a  noise  of  war  in  the  camp.  And  he  said.  It  is 
not  the  voice  of  them  that  shout  for  mastery,  neither 
is  it  the  voice  of  them  that  cry  for  being  overcome: 

19  but  the  noise  of  them  that  sing  do  I  hear.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  they  came  nigh  unto  the 
camp,  that  he  saw  the  calf  and  the  dancing :  and 
Mo'ses'  anger  waxed  hot,  and  he  cast  the  tables  out 
of   his  hands,  and  brake  them  beneath  the  mount. 

20  And  he  took  the  calf  which  they  had  made,  and 
burnt  it  with  fire,  and  ground  it  to  powder,  and 
strewed  it  upon  the  water,  and  made  the  children  of 

21  Is'ra-el  drink  of  it.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron, 
What    did    this    people    unto   thee,   that   thou    hast 

22  brought  a  great  sin  upon  them  ?  And  Aa'ron  said, 
Let    not    the    anger   of   my    lord   wax    hot:    thou 

23  knowest  the  people,  that  they  are  set  on  evil.  For 
they  said  unto  me,  Make   us  gods,  which   shall  go

before  us :  for  as  for  this  Mo'ses,  the  man  that  brought  us 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  we  wot  not  what  is  become  of 
him. 

24  And  I  said  unto  them,  Whosoever  hath  any  gold,  let 
them  break  it  off.  So  they  gave  it  me :  then  I  cast  it  into 
the  fire,  and  there  'came  out  this  calf. 

25  ^And  Vi^hen  Mo'ses  saw  that  the  people  were  •'naked, 
(for  Aa'ron  "had  made  them  naked  unto  their  shame  among 
ftheir  enemies,) 

26  Then  Mo'ses  stood  in  the  gate  of  the  camp,  and  said. 
Who  is  on  the  Lord's  sida?  let  him  come  unto  me.  And 
all  the  sons  of  Le'vi  gathered  themselves  together  unto  him. 

27  And  he  said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Loed  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Put  every  man  his  sword  by  his  side,  and  go  in  and 
out  from  gate  to  gate  throughout  the  camp,  and  *slay  every 
man  his  brother,  and  every  man  his  companion,  and  every 
man  his  neighbour. 

28  And  the  children  of  Le'vi  did  according  to  the  word  of 
Mo'ses :  and  there  fell  of  the  people  that  day  about  three 
thousand  men. 

29  'II  For  Mo'ses  had  said,  fConsecrate  yourselves  to-day 
to  the  Lord,  even  every  man  upon  his  son,  and  upon  his 
brother ;  that  he  may  bestow  upon  you  a  blessing  this  day. 

30  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Mo'ses  said 
unto  the  people,  *Ye  have  sinned  a  great  sin :  and  now  I  will 
go  up  unto  the  Lord  ;  'peradventure  I  shall  "make  an 
atonement  for  your  sin. 

31  And  Mo'ses  "returned  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  Oh, 
this  people  have  sinned  a  great  sin,  and  have  "made  them 
gods  of  gold. 

32  Yet  now,  if  thou  wilt  forgive  their  sin — ;  and  if  not,''blot 
me,  I  pray  thee,  "out  of  thy  book  which  thou  hast  written. 

33  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  'Whosoever  hath 
sinned  against  me,  him  will  I  blot  out  of  my  book. 

34  Therefore  now  go,  lead  the  people  unto  the  place  of 
which  I  have  spoken  unto  thee  :  'behold,  mine  Angel  shall 
go  before  thee  :  nevertheless,  'in  the  day  when  I  visit,  I  will 
visit  their  sin  upon  them. 

36  And  the  Lord  plagued  the  people,  because  "they  made 
the  calf,  which  Aa'ron  made. 

CHAPTER  XXXIII. 

The  Lord  re/useth  to  go  with  the  people— The  Lord  talketh  with  Moses. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Depart,  and  go  up 
hence,  thou  "and  the  people  which  thou  hast  brought 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  unto  the  land  which  I  sware 
unto  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  saying,  'Unto  thy 
seed  will  I  give  it : 

2  "And  I  will  send  ah  Angel  before  thee  ;  ""and  I  will  drive 
out  the  Ca'naan-ite,  the  Am'or-ite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the 
Per'iz-zite,  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site : 

3  'Unto  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey :  -^for  I  will 
not  go  up  in  the  midst  of  thee ;  for  thou  art  a  "stiffnecked 
people :  lest  ''I  consume  thee  in  the  way. 

4  ^And  when  the  people  heard  these  evil  tidings,  they 
mourned  :  *and  no  man  did  put  on  him  his  ornaments. 

5  For  the  Lord  had  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Say  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  'Ye  are  a  stiffnecked  people  :  I  will  come  up 
"into  the  midst  of  thee  in  a  moment,  and  consume  thee : 
therefore  now  put  off  thy  ornaments  from  thee,  that  I  may 
"know  what  to  do  unto  thee. 

6  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  stripped  themselves  of  their 
ornaments  by  the  mount  Ho'reb. 

7  And  Mo'ses  took  the  tabernacle,  and  pitched  it  without 
the  camp,  afar  off  from  the  camp,  "and  called  it  the  Taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  every 
one  which  "sought  the  Lord  went  out  unto  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  which  was  without  the  camp. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo'ses  went  out  unto  the 
tabernacle,  that  all  the    people  rose   up,  and  stood  every 


before  us  :  for  as  for  this  Mo'ses,  the  man  that  brought 
us  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  we  know  not  what  is 

24  become  of  him.  And  I  said  unto  them.  Whosoever 
hath  any  gold,  let  them  break  it  off;  so  they  gave 
it  me  :  and  I  cast  it  into  the  fire,  and  there  came  out 

25  this  calf.  And  when  Mo'ses  saw  that  the  people 
were  broken  loose;  for  Aa'ron  had  let  them  loose 

26 for  a  'derision  among  their  enemies:  then  Mo'ses 
stood  in  the  gate  of  the  camp,  and  said.  Whoso  is 
on  the  Lord's  side,  let  him  come  unto  me.  And  all 
the  sons  of  Le'vi  gathered  themselves  together  unto 

27  him.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Put  ye  every  man  his  sword 
upon  his  thigh,  and  go  to  and  fro  from  gate  to  gate 
throughout  the  camp,  and  slay  every  man  his 
brother,  and  every  man  his  companion,  and  every 

28  man  his  neighbour.  And  the  sons  of  Le'vi  did  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  Mo'ses  :  and  there  fell  of  the 

29  people  that  day  about  three  thousand  men.  And 
Mo'ses  said,  ^Consecrate  yourselves  to-day  to  the 
Lord,  ^yea,  every  man  'against  his  son,  and  'against 
his  brother ;  that  he  may  bestow  upon  you  a  bless- 

30ing  this  day.  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow, 
that  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  people,  Ye  have  sinned  a 
great  sin :  and  now  I  will  go  up  unto  the  Lord  ; 
peradventure  I  shall  make  atonement  for  your  sin. 

31  And  Mo'ses  returned  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  Oh, 
this  people  have  sinned  a  great  sin,  and  have  made 

32  them  gods  of  gold.  Yet  now,  if  thou  wilt  forgive 
their  sin —  ;  and  if  not,  blot  me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of 

33  thy  book  which  thou  hast  written.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Mo'ses,   Whosoever  hath   sinned  against 

34  me,  him  will  I  blot  out  of  my  book.  And  now  go, 
lead  the  people  unto  the  place  of  which  I  have 
spoken  unto  thee  :  behold,  mine  angel  shall  go  be- 
fore thee :  nevertheless  in  the  day  when  I  visit,  I 

35  will  visit  their  sin  upon  them.  And  the  Lord 
smote  the  people,  because  they  made  the  calf,  which 
Aa'ron  maae. 

00  And  "be  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  Depart,  go  up 
hence,  tjou  and  the  people  which  thou  ha«t  brought 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  unto  the  land  of  which 
I  sware  unto  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  say- 

2  ing,  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give  it :  and  I  will  send  an 
angel  before  thee ;  and  I  will  drive  out  the  Ca'naan- 
ite,  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite, 

3  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  J^b'u-site :  unto  a  land  flowing 
with  milk  and  honey  :  for  I  will  not  go  up  in  the 
midst  of  thee ;  for  thou  art  a  stiffnecked  people  :  lest 

41  consume  thee  in  the  way.  And  when  the  people 
heard  these  evil  tidings,  they  mourned :  and  no  man 

5  did  put  on  him  his  ornaments.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Mo'ses,  Say  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Ye  are 
a  stiffnecked  people :  if  I  go  up  into  the  midst  of 
thee  for  one  moment,  I  shall  consume  thee :  there- 
fore now  put  off  thy  ornaments  from  thee,  that   I 

6  may  know  what  to  do  unto  thee.  And  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  stripped  themselves  of  their  ornaments 
from  mount  Ho  reb  onward. 

7  Now  Mo'ses  used  to  take  the  tent  and  to  pitch  it 
without  the  camp,  afar  off  from  the  camp ;  and  he 
called  it.  The  tent  of  meeting.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  every  one  which  sought  the  Lord  went  out  unto 
the  tent  of  meeting,  which  was  without  the  camp. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo'ses  went  out  unto  the 
Tent,  that  all  the  people  rose  up,  and  stood,  every

man  "at  his  tent  door,  and  looked  after  Mo'ses,  until  he  was 
gone  into  the  tabernacle. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Mo'ses  entered  into  the  taber- 
nacle, the  cloudy  pillar  descended,  and  stood  at  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle,  and  the  LORD  'talked  with  Mo'ses. 

10  And  all  the  people  saw  the  cloudy  pillar  stand  at  the 
tabernacle  door :  and  all  the  people  rose  up  and  'worshipped, 
every  man  in  his  tent  door. 

11  And  'the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  face  to  face,  as  a  man 
speaketh  unto  his  friend.  And  he  turned  again  into  the 
camp ;  but  "his  servant  Josh'u-a,  the  son  of  Nun,  a  young 
man,  departed  not  out  of  the  tabernacle. 

12  ^And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  See,  ^thou  sayest 
unto  me,  Bring  up  this  people :  and  thou  hast  not  let  me 
know  whom  thou  wilt  send  with  me.  Yet  thou  hast  said, 
"I  know  thee  by  name,  and  thou  hast  also  found  grace  in 
my  sight. 

13  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  "if  I  have  found  grace  in 
thy  sight,  "shew  me  now  thy  way,  that  I  may  know  thee, 
that  I  may  find  grace  in  thy  sight :  and  consider  that  this 
nation  is  ""thy  people. 

14  And  he  said,  '^My  presence  shall  go  with  thee,  and  I 
will  give  thee  ''rest. 

15  And  he  said  unto  him,  'If  thy  presence  go  not  with  me, 
carry  us  up  not  hence. 

16  For  wherein  shall  it  be  known  here  that  I  and  thy 
people  have  found  grace  in  thy  sight?  -^Is  it  not  in  that 
thou  goest  with  us?  So  "shall  we  be  separated,  I  and  thy 
people,  from  all  the  people  that  are  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  *!  will  do  this  thing 
also  that  thou  hast  spoken  :  for  'thou  hast  found  grace  in 
my  sight,  and  I  know  thee  by  name. 

18  And  he  said,  I  beseech  thee,  shew  me  *thy  glory. 

19  And  he  said,  'I  will  make  all  my  goodness  pass  before 
thee,  and  I  will  proclaim  the  name  of  the  Lord  before  thee ; 
"'and  will  be  "gracious  to  whom  I  will  be  gracious,  and  will 
shew  mercy  on  whom  I  will  shew  mercy. 

20  And  he  said.  Thou  canst  not  see  my  face :  for  "there 
shall  no  man  see  me,  and  live. 

21  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold,  there  is  a  place  by  me,  and 
thou  shalt  stand  upon  a  rock  : 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  while  my  glory  passeth  by, 
that  I  will  put  thee  "in  a  cleft  of  the  rock,  and  will  «cover 
thee  with  my  hand  while  I  pass  by : 

23  And  I  will  take  away  mine  hand,  and  thou  shalt  see 
my  back  parts ;  but  my  face  shall  'not  be  seen. 

CHAPTER   XXXIV. 

The  tables  are  renewed— The  name  of  the  LORD  proclaimed. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  "Hew  thee  two  tables 
ofstonelikeuntothefirst :  ''audi  will  writeupon  these  tables 
the  words  that  were  in  the  first  tables,  which  thou  brakest. 

2  And  be  ready  in  the  morning,  and  come  up  in  the  morn- 
ing unto  mount  Si'nai,  and  present  thyself  there  to  me  ""in 
the  top  of  the  mount. 

3  And  no  man  shall  ''come  up  with  thee,  neither  let  any 
man  be  seen  throughout  all  the  mount;  neither  let  the 
flocks  nor  herds  feed  before  that  mount. 

4  ^And  he  hewed  two  tables  of  stone  like  unto  the  first ; 
and  Mo'ses  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  went  up  unto 
mount  Si'nai,  as  the  Lord  had  commanded  him,  and  took 
in  his  hand  the  two  tables  of  stone. 

5  And  the  Lord  descended  in  the  cloud,  and  stood  with 
him  there,  and  ''proclaimed  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  Lord  passed  by  before  him,  and  proclaimed. 
The  Lord,  The  Lord  •'^God,  merciful  and  gracious,  long 
suffering,  and  abundant  in  "goodness  and  ''truth,

9  until  he  was  gone  into  the  Tent.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Mo'ses  entered  into  the  Tent,  the  pillar 
of  cloud  descended,  and  stood  at  the  door  of  the 
10 Tent:  and  the  Lobd  spake  with  Mo'ses.  And  all 
the  people  saw  the  pillar  of  cloud  stand  at  the  door 
of  the  Tent :  and  all  the  people  rose  up  and  wor- 

11  shipped,  every  man  at  his  tent  door.  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Mo'ses  face  to  face,  as  a  man  speaketh 
unto  his  friend.  And  he  turned  again  into  the 
camp :  but  his  minister  Josh'u-a,  the  son  of  Nun,  a 
young  man,  departed  not  out  of  the  Tent. 

12  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  See,  thou  sayest 
unto  me.  Bring  up  this  people :  and  thou  hast  not 
let  me  know  'whom  thou  wilt  send  with  me.  Yet 
thou  hast  said,  I  know  thee  by  name,  and  thou  hast 

13  also  found  grace  in  my  sight.  Now  therefore,  I 
pray  thee,  if  I  have  found  grace  in  thy  sight,  shew 
me  now  thy  ways,  that  1  may  know  thee,  to  the  end 
that  I   may  find  grace  in  thy  sight :  and  consider 

14  that  this  nation  is  thy  people.  And  he  said.  My 
presence   shall   go   with   thee,  and  I  will  give  thee 

15  rest.     And  he  said  unto  him,  If  thy  presence  go 

16  not  with  me,  carry  us  not  up  hence.  For  wherein 
now  shall  it  be  known  that  I  have  found  grace  in 
thy  sight,  I  and  thy  people  ?  is  it  not  in  that  thou 
goest  with  us,  so  that  we  be  separated,  I  and  thy 
people,  from  all  the  people  that  are  upon  the  face  of 
the  earth  ? 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  I  will  do  this 
thing  also  that  thou  hast  spoken:  for  thou  hast 
found  grace  in  my  sight,  and  I  know  thee  by  name 

}|  And  he  said.  Shew  me,  I  pray  thee,  thy  glory.  And 
be  said,  I  will  make  all  my  goodness  pass  before 
thee,  and  will  proclaim  the  name  of  the  Lord  be- 
fore thee ;  and  I  will  be  gracious  to  whom  I  will  be 
gracious,  and  will  shew  mercy  on  whom  I  will  shew 
20 mercy.     And  he  said.  Thou  canst  not  see  my  face: 

21  for  man  shall  not  see  me  and  live.  And  the  Lord 
said.  Behold,  there  is  a  place  by  me,  and  thou  shalt 

22  stand  upon  the  rock :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
while  my  glory  passeth  by,  that  I  will  put  thee 
in  a  cleft  of  the  rock,  and  will  cover  thee  with  my 

23  hand  until  I  have  passed  by  :  and  I  will  take  away 
mine  hand,  and  thou  shalt  see  my  back :  but  my 
face  shall  not  be  seen. 

^^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Hew  thee  two 
tables  of  stone  like  unto  the  first :  and  I  will  write 
upon  the  tables   the  words  that  were  on  the  first 

2  tables,  which  thou  brakest.  And  be  ready  by  the 
morning,  and  come  up  in  the  morning  unto  mount 
Si'nai,  and  present  thyself  there  to  me  on  the  top  of 

3  the  mount.  And  no  man  shall  come  up  with  tnee, 
neither  let  any  man  be  seen  throughout  all  the 
mount ;  neither  let  the  flocks  nor  herds  feed  before 

4  that  mount.  And  he  hewed  two  tables  of  stone  like

and  upon  the  children's  children,  unto  the  third  and  to  the 
fourth  generation. 

8  And  Mo'ses  made  haste,  and  "bowed  his  head  toward 
the  earth,  and  worshipped. 

9  And  he  said,  If  now  I  have  found  grace  in  thy  sight,  O 
Lord,  "let  my  Lord,  I  pray  thee,  go  among  us ;  for  "it  is  a 
stiffnecked  people ;  and  pardon  our  iniquity  and  our  sin, 
and  take  us  for  "thine  inheritance. 

10  IT  And  he  said.  Behold,  "I  make  a  covenant :  before  all 
thy  people  I  will  ""do  marvels,  such  as  have  not  been  done 
in  all  the  earth,  nor  in  any  nation :  and  all  the  people  among 
which  thou  art  shall  see  the  work  of  the  Lord  :  for  it  is  'a 
terrible  thing  that  I  will  do  with  thee. 

11  'Observe  thou  that  which  I  command  thee  this  day: 
Behold,  "I  drive  out  before  thee  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Ca'- 
naan-ite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Hi'- 
vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site. 

12  ''Take  heed  to  thyself,  lest  thou  make  a  covenant  with 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  whither  thou  goest,  lest  it  be  for 
"a  snare  in  the  midst  of  thee : 

13  But  ye  shall  ^destroy  their  altars,  break  their  fimages, 
and  "cut  down  their  groves : 

14  For  thou  shalt  worship  *no  other  god :  for  the  Lord, 
whose  ""name  is  Jealous,  is  a  ''jealous  God. 

15  'Lest  thou  make  a  covenant  with  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land,  and  they  •'jgo  a  whoring  after  their  gods,  and  do  sacri- 
fice unto  their  gods,  and  one  "call  thee,  and  thou  *eat  of 
his  sacrifice; 

16  And  thou  take  of  'their  daughters  unto  thy  sons,  and 
their  daughters  *go  a  whoring  after  their  gods,  and  make 
thy  sons  go  a  whoring  after  their  gods. 

17  'Thou  shalt  make  thee  no  molten  gods. 

18  ^The  feast  of  "unleavened  bread  shalt  thou  keep. 
Seven  days  thou  shalt  eat  unleavened  bread,  as  I  commanded 
thee,  in  the  time  of  the  month  A'bib :  for  in  the  "month  A'bib 
thou  camcst  out  from  E'gypt. 

19  "All  that  openeth  the  matrix  is  mine;  and  cverj^  first- 
ling among  thy  cattle,  whether  ox  or  sheep,  that  is  male. 

20  But  "the  firstling  of  an  ass  thou  shalt  redeem  with  a 
II  lamb :  and  if  thou  redeem  him  not,  then  shalt  thou  break 
his  neck.  All  the  firstborn  of  thy  sons  thou  shalt  redeem. 
And  none  shall  appear  before  me  'empty. 

21  ^'Six  days  thou  shalt  work,  but  on  the  seventh  day 
thou  shalt  rest :  in  earing  time  and  in  harvest  thou  shalt  rest. 

22  *11'And  thou  shalt  observe  the  feast  of  weeks,  of  the 
firstfruits  of  wheat  harvest,  and  the  feast  of  ingathering  at 
the  tyear's  end. 

23  ^'Thrice  in  the  year  shall  all  your  men  children  appear 
before  the  Lord  God,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  For  I  will  "cast  out  the  nations  before  thee,  and  ''enla.ge 
thy  borders :  "neither  shall  any  man  desire  thy  land,  when 
thou  shalt  go  up  to  appear  before  the  Lord  thy  God  thrice 
in  the  year. 

25  'Thou  shalt  not  offer  the  blood  of  my  sacrifice  with 
leaven ;  "neither  shall  the  sacrifice  of  the  feast  of  the  pass- 
over  be  left  until  the  morning. 

26  'The  first  of  the  firstfruits  of  thy  land  thou  shalt  bring 
unto  the  house  of  the  Lord  thy  God.  "Thou  shalt  not 
seethe  a  kid  in  his  mother's  milk. 

27  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Write  thou  ''these 
words :  for  after  the  tenor  of  these  words  I  have  made  a 
covenant  with  thee  and  with  Is'ra-el. 

28  "And  he  was  there  with  the  Lord  forty  days  and  forty 
nights;  he  did  neither  eat  bread, nor  drink  water.  And-^He 
wrote  upon  the  tables  the  words  of  the  covenant,  the  ten 
f  commandments. 

29  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo'ses  came  down 
from  mount  Si'nai  with  the  "two  tables  of  testimony  in 


guilty;  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the 
children,  and  upon  the  children's  children,  upon  the 

8  third  and  upon  the  fourth  generation.  And  Mo'ses 
made  haste,  and  bowed  his  head  toward  the  earth, 

9  and  worshipped.  And  he  said.  If  now  I  have  found 
grace  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord,  let  the  Lord,  I  pray 
thee,  go  in  the  midst  of  us ;  for  it  is  a  stiffnecked 
people;   and  pardon  our  iniquity  and  our  sin,  and 

10  take  us  for  thine  inheritance.  And  he  said,  Behold 
I  make  a  covenant :  before  all  thy  people  I  will  do 
marvels,  such  as  have  not  been  'wrought  in  all  the 
earth,  nor  in  any  nation :  and  all  the  people  among 
which  thou  art  shall  see  the  work  of  the  Lord,  for 

11  it  is  a  terrible  thing  that  I  do  with  thee.  Observe 
thou  that  which  I  command  thee  this  day :  behold, 
I  drive  out  before  thee  tha  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Ca'naan- 
ite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Hi'- 

12vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site.  Take  heed  to  thyself,  lest 
thou  make  a  covenant  with  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land  whither  thou  goest,  lest  it  be  for  a  snare  in  the 

13  midst  of  thee:  but  ye  shall  break  down  their  altars, 
and  dash  in  pieces  their  ^pillars,  and  ye  shall   cut 

14  down  their  ^Ash'er-im:  for  thou  shalt  worship  no 
other  god :    for  the  Lord,  whose  name  is  Jealous, 

15  is  a  jealous  God :  lest  thou  make  a  covenant  with 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  and  they  go  a  whoring 
after  their  gods,  and  do  sacrifice   unto   their  gods, 

16  and  one  call  thee  and  thou  eat  of  his  sacrifice;  and 
thou  take  of  their  daughters  unto  thy  sons,  and 
their  daughters  go  a  whoring  after  their  gods,  and 

17  make  thy  sons  go  a  whoring  after  their  gods.    Thou 

18  shalt  make  thee  no  molten  gods.  The  feast  of  un- 
leavened bread  shalt  thou  keep.  Seven  days  thou 
shalt  eat  unleavened  bread,  as  I  commanded  thee, 
at  the  time  appointed  in  the  month  A'bib :  for  in  the 

19  month  A'bib  thou  earnest  out  from  E'gypt.  All  that 
openeth  the  womb  is  mine;  and  all  thy  cattle  that 

20  is  male,  the  firstlings  of  ox  and  sheep.  And  the 
firstling  of  an  ass  thou  shalt  redeem  with  a  *lamb : 
and  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem  it,  then  thou  shalt  break 
its  neck.  All  the  firstborn  of  thy  sons  thou  shalt 
redeem.     And  none  shall  appear  before  me  empty. 

21  Six  days  thou  shalt  work,  but  on  the  seventh  day 
thou  shalt  rest;  in  plowing  time  and  in  harvest  thou 

22  shalt  rest.  And  thou  shalt  observe  the  feast  of 
weeks,  even  of  the  firstfruits  of  wheat  harvest,  and 

23  the  feast  of  ingathering  at  the  year's  'end.  Three 
times  in  the  year  shall  all  thy  males  appear  before 

24  the  Lord  God,  th°  God  of  Is'ra-el.  For  I  will  cast 
out  nations  befoio  thee,  and  enlarge  thy  borders: 
neither  shall  any  man  desire  thy  land,  when  thou 
goest  up  to  appear  before  the  Lord  thy  God  three 

25  times  in  the  year.  Thou  shalt  not  offer  the  blood 
of  my  sacrifice  with  leavened  bread ;  neither  shall 
the  sacrifice  of  the  feast  of  the  passover  be  left  unto 

26  the  morning.  The  first  of  the  firstfruits  of  thy 
ground  thou  shalt  bring  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord 
thy  God.     Thou  shalt  not  seethe  a  kid  in  its  mother's 

27  milk.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Write  thou 
these  words :  for  after  the  tenor  of  these  words  I 
have  made  a  covenant  with  thee  and  with  Is'ra-el. 

28  And  he  was  there  with  the  Lord  forty  days  and 
forty  nights;  he  did  neither  eat  bread,  nor  drink 
water.  And  he  wrote  upon  the  tables  the  words  of 
the  covenant,  the  ten  'commandments.

Mo'ses'  handjwhen  he  came  down  from  the  mount,  that  Mo'ses 
wist  not  that^the  skinof  his  face  shonewhile  he  talkedwithhim. 

30  And  when  Aa'ron  and  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  saw 
Mo'ses,  behold,  the  skin  of  his  face  shone;  and  they  were 
afraid  to  come  nigh  him. 

31  And  Mo'ses  called  unto  them ;  and  Aa'ron  and  all  the 
rulers  of  the  congregation  returned  unto  him:  and  Mo'ses 
talked  with  them. 

32  And  afterward  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  nigh : 
'and  he  gave  them  in  commandment  all  that  the  LoED  had 
spoken  with  him  in  mount  Si'nai. 

33  And  till  Mo'ses  had  done  speaking  with  them,  he  put 
''a.  veil  on  his  face. 

34  But  'when  Mo'ses  went  in  before  the  Lord  to  speak 
with  him,  he  took  the  veil  off,  until  he  came  out.  And  he 
came  out  and  spake  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  which 
he  was  commanded. 

35  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  saw  the  face  of  Mo'ses,  that 
the  skin  of  Mo'ses'  face  shone :  and  Mo'ses  put  the  veil  upon 
his  face  again,  until  he  went  in  to  speak  with  him. 

CHAPTER  XXXV. 

The  tabernacle—Bezaleel  and  Ahotiatt  are  called  to  the  work  of  the  tabernacle. 

AND  Mo'ses  gathered  all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  together,and  said  unto  them,''These  are  the  words 
which  the  Lord  hath  commanded,  that  ye,  should  do  them. 

2  'Six  days  shall  work  be  done,  but  on  the  seventh  day 
there  shall  be  to  you  fa  holy  day,  a  sabbath  of  rest  to  the 
Lord  :  whosoever  doeth  work  therein  shall  be  put  to  death. 

3  "Ye  shall  kindle  no  fire  throughout  your  habitations 
upon  the  sabbath  day. 

4  ^And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  all  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  ''This  is  the  thing  which  the 
Lord  commanded,  saying, 

5  Take  ye  from  among  you  an  offering  unto  the  Lord: 
'whosoever  is  of  a  willing  heart,  let  him  bring  it,  an  offering 
of  the  Lord  ;  gold,  and  silver,  and  brass, 

6  And  blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  fine  linen,  and 
goats'  hair, 

7  And  rams'  skins  dyed  red,  and  badgers'  skins,  and 
shittim  wood, 

8  And  oil  for  the  light,  ■'and  spices  for  anointing  oil,  and 
for  the  sweet  incense, 

9  And  onyx  stones,  and  stones  to  be  set  for  the  ephod, 
and  for  the  breastplate. 

10  And  "every  wise  hearted  among  you  shall  come,  and 
make  all  that  the  Lord  hath  commanded ; 

11  ''The  tabernacle,  his  tent,  and  his  covering,  his  taches, 
and  his  boards,  his  bars,  his  pillars,  and  his  sockets ; 

12  'The  ark,  and  the  staves  thereof,  with  the  mercy  seat, 
and  the  veil  of  the  covering ; 

13  The  *  table,  and  his  staves,  and  all  his  vessels,  'and  the 
shewbread ; 

14  "'The  candlestick  also  for  the  light,  and  his  furniture, 
and  his  lamps,  with  the  oil  for  the  light; 

15  "And  the  incense  alt^r,  and  his  staves,  "and  the  anoint- 
ing oil,  and  ''the  sweet  incense,  and  the  hanging  for  the 
door  at  the  entering  in  of  the  tabernacle ; 

16  «The  altar  of  burnt  offering,  with  his  brazen  grate,  his 
staves,  and  all  his  vessels,  the  laver  and  his  foot ; 

1 7  "^The  hangings  of  the  court,  his  pillars,  and  their  sock- 
ets, and  the  hanging  for  the  door  of  the  court ; 

18  The  pins  of  the  tabernacle,  and  the  pins  of  the  court, 
and  their  cords ; 

19  'The  clothes  of  service,  to  do  service  in  the  holy  place, 
the  holy  garments  for  Aa'ron  the  priest,  and  the  garments 
of  hi.s  sons,  to  minister  in  the  priest's  office. 

20  •'And  all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
departed  from  the  preseifbe  of  Mo'ses. 

21  And  they  came,  every  one  Svhose  heart  stirred  him  up. 


Mo'ses  hand,  when  he  came  down  from  the  mount, 
that  Mo'ses  wist  not  that  the  skin  of  his  &ce  'shone 

30  ^by  reason  of  his  speaking  with  him.  And  when 
Aa'ron  and  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  saw  Mo'ses, 
behold,  the  skin  of  his  face   shone;  and  they  were 

31  afraid  to  come  nigh  him.     And  Mo'ses  called  unto 
them ;  and   Aa'ron  and  all  the   rulers  of  the  con 
gregatipn   returned  unto  him :  and  Mo'ses  spake  to 

32  them.  And  afterward  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
came  nigh :  and  he  gave  them  in  commandment  all 
that  the  Lord  had  spoken  with  him  in  mount  Si'nai 

33  And  when  Mo'ses  had  done  speaking  with  them,  he 

34  put  a  veil  on  his  face.  But  when  Mo'ses  went  in 
before  the  Lord  to  speak  with  him,  he  took  the 
veil  off,  until  he  came  out;  and  he  came  out,  and 
spake  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  which  he  was 

35  commanded ;  and  the   children    of  Is'rael  saw  the 
face  of  Mo'ses,  that  the  skin  of  Mo'ses'  face  shone 
and  Mo'ses  put  the  veil  upon  his  face  again,  until  he 
went  in  to  speak  with  him. 

^O  And  Mo'ses  assembled  all  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto  them.  These 
are  the   words  which   the  Lord  hath  commanded, 

2  that  ye  should  do  them.  'Six  days  shall  work  be 
done,  but  on  the  seventh  day  there  shall  be  to  you 
an  holy  day,  a  sabbath  of  solemn  rest  to  the  Lord  : 
whosoever  doeth  any  work  therein  shall  be  put  to 

3  death.  Ye  shall  kindle  no  fire  throughout  your 
habitations  upon  the  sabbath  day. 

4  And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  all  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  This  is  the  thing  which 

5  the  Lord  commanded,  saying,  *Take  ye  from  among 
you  an  offering  unto  the  Lord  :  whosoever  is  of  a 
willing  heart,  let  him  bring  it,  the  Lord's  offering; 

6 gold,  and  silver,  and  brass;  and  blue,  and  purple, 

7 and  scarlet,  and  fine  linen,  and   goats'  hair;   and 

rams'    skins   dyed   red,    and   sealskins,  and  acacia 

8  wood ;  and  oil    for   the   light,  and    spices  for  the 

9  anointing  oil,  and  for  the  sweet  incense ;  and  onyx 
stones,  and  stones  to  be  set,  for  the  ephod,  and  for 

10  the  breastplate.  And  let  every  wise  hearted  man 
among  you  come,  and  make  all  that  the  Lord  hath 

11  commanded;  the  tabernacle,  its  tent,  and  its  cover- 
ing, its  clasps,  and  its  boards,  its  bars,  its  pillars, 

12 and  its  sockets;  the  ark,  and  the  staves  thereof,  the

15  and  the  altar  of  incense,  and  its  staves,  and  the 
anointing  oil,  and  the  sweet  incense,  and  the  screen 

16  for  the  door,  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle ;  the  altar 
of  burnt  offering,  with  its  grating  of  brass,  its  staves, 

17 and  all  its  vessels,  the  laver  and  its  base;  the  hang- 
ings of  the  court,  the  pillars  thereof,  and  their

and  every  one  whom  his  spirit  made  willing,  and  they 
brought  the  Lohd's  offering  to  the  work  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  and  for  all  his  service,  and  for  the  holy 
garments. 

22  And  they  came,  both  men  and  women,  as  many  as  were 
willing  hearted,  and  brought  bracelets,  and  earrings,  and 
rings,  and  tablets,  all  jewels  of  gold :  and  every  man  that 
offered,  offered  an  offering  of  gold  unto  the  Lohd. 

23  And  "every  man  with  whom  was  found  blue,  and  purple, 
and  scarlet,  and  fine  linen,  and  goats'  hair,  and  red  skins  of 
rams,  and  badgers'  skins,  brought  them. 

24  Every  one  that  did  offer  an  offering  of  silver  and 
brass  brought  the  Loed's  offering :  and  every  man,  with 
whom  was  found  shittim  wood  for  any  work  of  the  service, 
brought  it. 

25  And  all  the  women  that  were  "wise  hearted  did  spin 
with  their  hands,  and  brought  that  which  they  had  spun, 
both  of  blue,  and  of  purple,  and  of  scarlet,  and  of  fine  linen. 

26  And  all  the  women  whose  heart  stirred  them  up  in 
wisdom  spun  goats'  hair. 

27  And  ""the  rulers  brought  onyx  stones,  and  stones  to  be 
set,  for  the  ephod,  and  for  the  breastplate ; 

28  And  "spice,  and  oi'  for  the  light,  and  for  the  anointing 
oil,  and  for  the  sweet  incense. 

29  The  children  of  Is'ra-el  brought  a  'willing  offering  unto 
the  LoED,  every  man  and  woman,  whose  heart  made  them 
willing  to  bring  for  all  manner  of  work,  which  the  Loed 
had  commanded  to  be  made  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

30  %  4nd  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  See,  "the 
Loed  hath  called  by  name  Be-zal'e-el,  the  son  of  U'ri,  the 
son  of  Hur,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah ; 

31  And  Le  hath  filled  him  with  the  spirit  of  God,  in  wis- 
dom, in  understanding,  and  in  knowledge,  and  in  all  manner 
of  workmanship; 

32  And  to  devise  curious  works,  to  work  in  gold,  and  in 
silver,  and  in  brass, 

33  And  in  the  cutting  of  stones,  to  set  them,  and  in  carving 
of  wood,  to  make  any  manner  of  cunning  work. 

34  And  he  hath  put  in  his  heart  that  he  may  teach,  both 
he,and  ''A-ho'II-ab,the  son  of  A-his'a-mach,ofthe  tribe  of  Dan. 

35  Them  hath  he  'filled  with  wisdom  of  heart,  to  work  all 
manner  of  work,  of  the  engraver,  and  of  the  cunning  work- 
man, and  of  the  embroiderer,  in  blue,  and  in  purple,  in  scar- 
let, and  in  fine  linen,  and  of  the  weaver,  even  of  them  that 
do  any  work,  and  of  those  that  devise  cunning  work. 

CHAPTER   XXXVI. 

The  offerings  are  delivered  to  the  workmen. 

THEN  wrought  Be-zal'e-el  and  A-ho'li-ab,  and  every  "wise 
hearted  man,  in  whom  the  Loed  put  wisdom  and  under- 
standing to  know  how  to  work  all  manner  of  work  for  the 
service  of  the  ''sanctuary,  according  to  all  that  the  Loed 
had  commanded. 

2  And  Mo'ses  called  Be-zal'e-el  and  A-ho'li-ab,  and  every 
wise  hearted  man,  in  whose  heart  the  Lord  had  put  wis- 
dom, even  every  one  'whose  heart  stirred  him  up  to  come 
unto  the  work  to  do  it: 

3  And  they  received  of  Mo'ses  all  the  offering  which  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  ''had  brought  for  the  work  of  the  service 
of  the  sanctuary,  to  make  it  withal.  And  they  brought  yet 
unto  him  free  offerings  every  morning. 

4  And  all  the  wise  men,  that  wrought  all  the  work  of  the 
sanctuary,  came  every  man  from  his  work  which  they  made ; 

5  ^And  they  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  "The  people  bring 
much  more  than  enough  for  the  service  of  the  work,  which 
the  Lord  commanded  to  make. 

6  And  Mo'ses  gave  commandment,  and  they  caused  it  to 
be  proclaimed  throughout  the  camp,  saying.  Let  neither 
man  nor  woman  make  any  more  work  for  the  offering  of  the 
sanctuary.     So  the  people  were  restrained  from  bringing. 


and  every  one  whom  his  spirit  made  willing,  and 
brought  the  Lord's  offering,  for  the  work  of  the 
tent  of  meeting,  and  for  all  the  service  thereof,  and 

22  for  the  holy  garments.  And  they  came,  both  men 
and  women,  as  many  as  were  willing  hearted,  and 
brought  brooches,  and  'earrings,  and  signet-rings, 
and  ^armlets,  all  jewels   of  gold ;  even   every   man 

23  that  offered  an  offering  of  gold  unto  the  Lord.  And 
every  man,  with  whom  was  found  blue,  and  purple, 
and  scarlet,  and  fine  linen,  and  goats'  hair,  and 
rams'  skins  dyed  red,  and  sealskins,  brought  them. 

24  Every  one  that  did  offer  an  offering  of  silver  and 
brass  brought  the  Loed's  offering :  and  every  man, 
with  whom  was  found  acacia  wood  for  any  work  of 

25  the  service,  brought  it.  And  all  the  women  that 
were  wise  hearted  did  spin  with  their  hands,  and 
brought  that  which  they  had  spun,  the  blue,  and  the 

26  purple,  the  scarlet,  and  the  fine  linen.  And  all  the 
women    whose    heart   stirred   them    up   in   wisdom 

27  spun  the  goats'  hair.  And  the  rulers  brought  the 
^onyx  stones,  and  the  stones  to  be  set,  for  the  ephod, 

28  and  for  the  breastplate ;  and  the  spice,  and  the  oil ; 
for  the  light,  and  for  the  anointing  oil,  and  for  the 

29  sweet  incense.  The  children  of  Is'ra-el  brought  a 
freewill  offering  unto  the  Loed;  every  man  and 
woman,  whose  heart  made  them  willing  to  bring  for 
all  the  work,  which  the  LoED  had  commanded  to 
be  made  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

30  *And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  See, 
the  Loed  hath  called  by  name  Bez'a-lel  the  son  of 

31  U'ri,  the  son  of  Hur,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah ;  and  he 
hath  filled  him  with  the  spirit  of  God,  in  wisdom,  in 
understanding,  and  in  knowledge,  and  in  all  manner 

32  of  workmanship ;  and  to  devise  cunning  work.s,  to 

33  work  in  gold,  and  in  silver,  and  in  brass,  and  in 
cutting  of  stones  for  setting,  and  in  carving  of  wood, 
to   work  in  all  manner   of  cunning   workmanship. 

34  And  he  hath  put  in  his  heart  that  he  may  teach, 
both  he,  and  O-ho'li-ab,  the  son  of  A-his'a-mach,  of  the 

35  tribe  of  Dan.  Them  hath  he  filled  with  wisdom  of 
heart,  to  work  all  manner  of  workmanship,  of  the 
'engraver,  and  of  the  cunning  workman,  and  of  the 
embroiderer,  in  blue,  and  in  purple,  in  scarlet,  and 
in  fine  linen,  and  of  the  weaver,  even  of  them  that  do 

fyf^  any  workmanship,  and  of  those  that  devise  cunning 
vU  works.  And  Bez'a-lel  and  O-ho'li-ab  shall  work,  and 
every  wise  hearted  man,  in  whom  the  Lord  hath 
put  wisdom  and  understanding  to  know  how  to 
work  all  the  work  for  the  service  of  the  sanctuary, 
according  to  all  that  the  Lord  hath  commanded. 

2  And  Mo'ses  called  Bez'a-lel  and  0-ho'li-ab,and  every 
wise  hearted  man,  in  whose  heart  the  Lord  had  put 
wisdom,  even  every  one  whose   heart  stirred   him 

3 up  to  come  unto  the  work^to  do  it:  and  they  re- 
ceived of  Mo'ses  all  the  offering,  which  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  had  brought  for  the  work  of  the  service  of 
the  sanctuary,  to  make  it  withal.    And  they  brought 

4  yet  unto  him  freewill  offerings  every  morning.  And 
all  the  wise  men,  that  wrought  all  the  work  of  the 
sanctuary,  came  every  man  from  his  work  which 

5 they  wrought;  and  they  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  say- 
ing. The  people  bring  much  more  than  enough 
for  the  service  of  the  work,  which  the  Lord  com- 

6manded  to  make.  And  Mo'ses  gave  command- 
ment, and  they  caused  it  to  be  proclaimed  through- 
out the  camp,  saying.  Let  neither  man  nor  woman 
make  any  more  work  for  the  offering  of  the  sanctu- 
ary.    So  the  people  were  restrained  from  bringing.

7  For  the  stuff  they  had  was  sufficient  for  all  the  work  to 
make  it,  and  too  much. 

8  ^^And  every  wise  hearted  man  among  them  that  wrought 
the  work  of  the  tabernacle  made  ten  curtains  of  fine  twined 
linen,  and  blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet :  with  cherubim  of 
cunning  work  made  he  them. 

9  The  length  of  one  curtain  was  twenty  and  eight  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  of  one  curtain  four  cubits :  the  curtains  were 
all  of  one  size. 

10  And  he  coupled  the  five  curtains  one  unto  another : 
and  the  other  five  curtains  he  coupled  one  unto  another. 

11  And  he  made  loops  of  blue  on  the  edge  of  one  curtain 
from  the  selvedge  in  the  coupling :  likewise  he  made  in  the 
uttermost  side  of  another  curtain,  in  the  coupling  of  the 
second. 

12  "Fifty  loops  made  he  in  one  curtain,  and  fifty  loops 
made  he  in  the  edge  of  the  curtain  which  was  in  the  coup- 
ling of  the  second  :  the  loops  held  one  curtain  to  another. 

13  And  he  made  fifty  taches  of  gold,  and  coupled  the 
curtains  one  unto  another  with  the  taches  :  so  it  became  one 
tabernacle. 

14  ^''And  he  made  curtains  of  goats'  hair  for  the  tent  over 
the  tabernacle  :  eleven  curtains  he  made  them. 

15  The  length  of  one  curtain  was  thirty  cubits,  and  four 
cubits  icas  the  breadth  of  one  curtain :  the  eleven  curtains 
were  of  one  size. 

16  And  he  coupled  five  curtains  by  themselves,  and  six 
curtains  by  themselves. 

17  And  he  made  fifty  loops  upon  the  uttermost  edge  of 
the  curtain  in  the  coupling,  and  fifty  loops  made  he  upon 
the  edge  of  the  curtain  which  coupleth  the  second. 

18  And  he  made  fifty  taches  of  brass  to  couple  the  tent 
together,  that  it  might  be  one. 

19  'And  he  made  a  covering  for  the  tent  of  rams'  skins 
dyed  red,  and  a  covering  of  badgers'  skins  above  that. 

20  ^*And  he  made  boards  for  the  tabernacle  of  shittim 
wood,  standing  up. 

21  The  length  of  a  board  was  ten  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
of  a  board  one  cubit  and  a  half 

22  One  board  had  two  tenons,  equally  distant  one  from  an- 
other :  thus  did  he  make  for  all  the  boards  of  the  tabernacle. 

23  And  he  made  boards  for  the  tabernacle  ;  twenty  boards 
for  the  south  side  southward : 

24  And  forty  sockets  of  silver  he  made  under  the  twenty 
boards ;  two  sockets  under  one  board  for  his  two  tenons, 
and  two  sockets  under  another  board  for  his  two  tenons. 

2.5  And  for  the  other  side  of  the  tabernacle,  which  is  to- 
ward the  north  corner,  he  made  twenty  boards, 

26  And  their  forty  sockets  of  silver ;  two  sockets  under 
one  board,  and  two  sockets  under  another  board. 

27  And  for  the  sides  of  the  tabernacle  westward  he  made 
six  boards. 

28  And  two  boards  made  he  for  the  corners  of  the  taber- 
nacle in  the  two  sides. 

29  And  they  were  fcoupled  beneath,  and  coupled  together 
at  the  head  thereof,  to  one  ring  :  thus  he  did  to  both  of 
them  in  both  the  corners. 

30  And  there  were  eight  boards;  and  their  sockets  were 
sixteen  sockets  of  silver,  funder  every  board  two  sockets. 

31  ^And  he  made  'bars  of  shittim  wood ;  five  for  the 
boards  of  the  one  side  of  the  tabernacle, 

32  And  five  bars  for  the  boards  of  the  oth  sr  side  of  the 
tabernacle,  and  five  bars  for  the  boards  of  the  tabernacle  for 
the  sides  westward. 

33  And  he  made  the  middle  bar  to  shoot  through  the 
boards  from  the  one  end  to  the  other. 

34  And  he  overlaid  the  boards  with  gold,  and  made  their 
rings  of  gold  to  be  places  for  the  bars,  and  overlaid  the  bars 
with  gold. 


7  For  the  stuff  they  had  was  sufficient  for  all  the 
work  to  make  it,  and  too  much. 

8  'And  every  wise  hearted  man  among  them  that 
wrought  the  Avork  made  the  tabernacle  with  ten 
curtains ;  of  fine  twined  linen,  and  blue,  and  purple, 
and  scarlet,  with  cherubim  the  work  of  the  cunning 

9  workman  made  he  them.  The  length  of  each  cur- 
tain was  eight  and  twenty  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
of  each  curtain  four  cubits  :  all  the  curtains  had  one 

10  measure.  And  he  coupled  five  curtains  one  to 
another :  and  the  other  five  curtains  he  coupled  one 

11  to  another.  And  he  mr  le  loops  of  blue  upon  the 
edge  of  the  one  curtain  ^from  the  selvedge  in  the 
coupling :  likewise  he  ma  le  in  the  edge  of  the  cur- 
tain  that   was    outmost    in    the    second    'coupling. 

12  Fifty  loops  made  he  in  the  one  curtain,  and  fifty 
loops  made  he  in  the  edge  of  the  curtain  that  was 
in  the .  second  'coupling :  the  loops  were   opposite 

13  one  to  another.  And  he  made  fifty  clasps  of  gold, 
and  coupled  the  curtains  one  to  another  with  the 

14  clasps :  so  the  tabernacle  was  one.  And  he  made 
curtains  of  goats'  hair  for  a  tent  over  the  tabernacle : 

15  eleven  curtains  he  made  them.  The  length  of  each 
curtain  was  thirty  cubits,  and  four  cubits  the  breadth 
of  each  curtain  :  the  eleven  curtains  had  one  meas- 

16  ure.     And  he  coupled  five  curtains  by  themselves, 

17  and  six  curtains  by  themselves.  And  he  made  fifty 
loops  on  the  edge  of  the  curtain  that  was  outmost 
in  the  ^coupling,  and  fifty  loops  made  he  upon  the 
edge    of  the    curtain    which    Avas    outmost    in    the 

18  second  'coupling.  And  he  made  fifty  clasps  of 
brass  to  couple  the  tent  together,  that  it  might  be 

19  one.  And  he  made  a  covering  for  the  tent  of  rams' 
skins  dyed  red,  and  a  covering  of  ^sealskins  above. 

20  'And    he  made  the  boards  for  the  tabernacle  of 

21  acacia  wood,  standing  up.  Ten  cubits  was  the 
length  of  a  board,  and  a  cubit  and  a  half  the  breadth 

22  of  each  board.  Each  board  had  two  tenons,  'joined 
one  to  another :  thus  did  he  make  for  all  the  boards 

23  of  the  tabernacle.  And  he  made  the  boards  for  the 
tabernacle ;  twenty  boards  for  the  south  side  south- 

24  ward :  and  he  made  forty  sockets  of  silver  under 
the  twenty  boards  ;  two  sockets  under  one  board  for 
its  two  tenons,  and  two  sockets  under  another  board 

25  for  its  two  tenons.  And  for  the  second  side  of  the 
tabernacle,  on  the  north  side,  he  made  twenty  boards, 

26  and  their  forty  sockets  of  silver ;  two  sockets  under 
one  board,  and  two  sockets  under  another  board. 

27  And  for  the  hinder  part  of  the  tabernacle  westward 

28  he  made  six  boards.  And  two  boards  made  he  for 
the  corners  of  the  tabernacle    in    the   hinder  part, 

29  And  they  were  double  beneath,  and  in  like  manner 
they  were  entire  unto  the  top  thereof  unto  *one  ring : 
thus  he   did   to    both  of  them  in  the  two  corners. 

30  And  there  were  eight  boards,  and  their  sockets  of 
silver,   sixteen   sockets ;    under    every    board    two 

31  sockets.  And  he  made  bars  of  acacia  wood ;  five 
for  the  boards  of  the  one  side  of  the  tabernacle; 

32  and  five  bars  for  the  boards  of  the  other  side  of 
the  tabernacle,  and  five  bars  for  the  boards  of  the 

33  tabernacle  for  the  hinder  part  westward.  And  he 
made  the  middle  bar  to  pass  through   in  the  midst 

34  of  the  boards  from  the  one  end  to  the  other.  And 
he  overlaid  the  boards  with  gold,  and  made  their 
rings  of  gold  for  places  for  the  bars,  and  overlaid 
the  bars  with  gold.

work.

25  And  the  silver  of  them  that  were  numbered  of  the 
congregation  was  a  hundred  talents,  and  a  thousand  seven 
hundred  and  threescore  and  fifteen  shekels,  after  the  shekel 
of  the  sanctuary : 

26  *A  bekah  for  fevery  man,  that  is,  half  a  shekel,  after 
the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary,  for  every  one  that  went  to  be 
numbered,  from  twenty  years  old  and  upward,  for  *six 
hundred  thousand  and  three  thousand  and  five  hundred 
and  fifty  men. 

27  And  of  the  hundred  talents  of  silver  were  cast  'the 
sockets  of  the  sanctuary,  and  the  sockets  of  the  veil ;  a 
hundred  sockets  of  the  hundred  talents,  a  talent  for  a  socket. 

28  And  of  the  thousand  seven  hundred  seventy  and  five 
shekels  he  made  hooks  for  the  pillars,  and  overlaid  their 
chapiters,  and  filleted  them. 

29  And  the  brass  of  the  offering  was  seventy  talents,  and 
two  thousand  and  four  hundred  shekels. 

30  And  therewith  he  made  the  sockets  to  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and  the  brazen  altar,  and 
the  brazen  grate  for  it,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the  altar, 

31  And  the  sockets  of  the  court  round  about,  and  the 
sockets  of  the  court  gate,  and  all  the  pins  of  the  tabernacle, 
and  all  the  pins  of  the  court  round  about. 

CHAPTER    XXXIX. 

Tke  clothes  o/  service,  and  holy  garments ,  viewed  and  approved  by  Moses. 

AND  of  "the  -blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  they  made 
'clothes  of  service,  to  d!o  service  in  the  holy  place,  and 
made  the  holy  garments  for  Aa'ron;  "as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'ses. 

2  ''And  he  made  the  ephoci  of  gold,  blue,  and  purple,  and 
scarlet,  and  fine  twined  linen. 

3  And  they  did  beat  the  gold  into  thin  plates,  and  cut  it 
into  wires,  to  work  it  in  the  blue,  and  in  the  purple,  and  in 
the  scarlet,  and  in  the  fine  linen,  with  cunning  work. 

4  They  made  shoulderpieces  for  it,  to  couple  it  together : 
by  the  two  edges  was  it  coupled  together. 

5  And  the  curious  girdle  of  his  ephod,  that  wax  upon  it, 
was  of  the  same,  according  to  the  work  thereof;  of  gold, 
blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  fine  twined  linen ;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

6  ^'And  they  wrought  onyx  stones  inclosed  in  ouches  of 
gold,  graven,  as  signets  are  graven,  with  the  names  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 


18  And  the  screen  for  the  gate  of  the  court  was  the 
work  of  the  embroiderer,  of  blue,  and  purple,  and 
scarlet,  and  fine  twined  linen :  and  twenty  cubits 
was  the  length,  and  the  height  in  the  breadth  was 
five  cubits,  answerable  to  the  hangings  of  the  court 

19  And  their  pillars  were  four,  and  their  sockets  four, 
of  brass;  their  hooks  of  silver,  and  the  overlaying 

20  of  their  chapiters  and  their  fillets  of  silver.  And  all 
the  pins  of  the  tabernacle,  and  of  the  court  round 
about,  were  of  brass. 

21  .  This  is  the  sum  of  the  things  for  the  tabernacle, 
even  the  tabernacle  of  the  testimony,  as  they  were 
counted,  according  to  the  commandment  of  Mo'ses, 
for  the  service  of  the  Le'vites,  by  the  hand  of  Ith'a- 

22  mar,  the  son  of  Aa'ron  the  priest.  And  Bez'a-lel  the 
son  of  U'ri,  the  son  of  Hur,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah, 

23  made  all  that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.  And 
with  him  was  0-ho'li-ab,the  son  of  A-his'a-mach,of  the 
tribe  of  Dan,  'an  engraver,  and  a  cunning  workman, 
and  an  embroiderer  in  blue,  and  in  purple,  and  in 
scarlet,  and  fine  linen. 

24  All  the  gold  that  was  used  for  the  work  in  all  the 
work  of  the  sanctuary,  even  the  gold  of  the  offer 
ing,  was  twenty  and  nine  talents,  and  seven  hundred 
and  thirty  shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary. 

25  And  the  silver  of  them  that  were  numbered  of  the 
congregation  was  an  hundred  talents,  and  a  thou- 
sand  seven    hundred    and    threescore    and    fifteen 

26  shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary :  a  beka  a 
head,  that  is,  half  a  shekel,  after  the  shekel  of  the 
sanctuary,  for  every  one  that  passed  over  to  them 
that  were  numbered,  from  twenty  years  old  and  up- 
ward, for  six  hundred  thousand  and  three  thousand 

27  and  five  hundred  and  fifty  men.  And  the  hundred 
talents  of  silver  were  for  casting  the  sockets  of  the 
sanctuary,  and  the  sockets  of  the  veil ;  an  hundred 
sockets  for  the  hundred  talents,  a  talent  for  a  socket. 

28  And  of  the  thousand  seven  hundred  seventy  and 
five  shekels  he  made  hooks  for  the  pillars,  and  over- 

29  laid  their  chapiters,  and  made  fillets  for  them.  And 
the  brass  of  the  offering  was  seventy  talents,  and 

30  two  thousand  and  four  hundred  shekels.  And 
therewith  he  made  the  sockets  to  the  door  of  the 
tent  of  meeting,  and  the  brasen  altar,  and  the  brasen 

31  grating  for  it,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the  altar,  and 
the  sockets  of  the  court  round  about,  and  the  sockets 
of  the  gate  of  the  court,  and  all  the  pins  of  the 
tabernacle,  and  all  the  pins  of  the  court  round 
about. 

vv  And  of  the  blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  they 
made  finely  wrought  garments,  for  ministering  in 
the  holy  place,  and  made  the  holy  garments  for 
Aa'ron ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

2  ^And    he    made   the   ephod   of    gold,    blue,   and 

3  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  fine  twined  linen.  And 
they  did  beat  the  gold  into  thin  plates,  and  cut  it 
into  wires,  to  work  it  in  the  blue,  and  in  the  purple, 
and  in  the  scarlet,  and  in  the  fine  linen,  the  work  of 

4  the  cunning  workman.  They  made  shoulderpieces 
for  it,  joined  together:  at  the  two  ends  was  it  joined 

5  together.  And  the  cunningly  woven  band,  that  was 
upon  it,  to  gird  it  on  withal,  was  of  the  same  piece 
and  like  the  work  thereof;  of  gold,  of  blue,  and 
purple,  and  scarlet,  and  fine  twined  linen ;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

6  And  they  wrought  the  onyx  stones,  inclosed  in 
ouches  of  gold,  graven  with  the  engravings  of  a  sig- 
net, according  to  the  names  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.

7  And  he  put  them  on  the  shoulders  of  the  ephod,  that 
they  should  be  stones  for  a  •'^memorial  to  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el ;  as  the  Loed  commanded  Mo'ses. 

8  ^"And  he  made  the  breastplate  of  cunning  work,  like 
the  work  of  the  ephod ;  of  gold,  blue,  and  purple,  and 
scarlet,  and  fine  twined  linen. 

9  It  was  foursquare ;  they  made  the  breastplate  double : 
a  span  was  the  length  thereof,  and  a  span  the  breadth 
thereof,  being  doubled. 

10'  ''And  they  set  in  it  four  rows  of  stones :  the  first  row 
icas  a  11  sardius,  a  topaz,  and  a  carbuncle :  this  was  the 
first  row. 

11  And  the  second  row,  an  emerald,  a  sapphire,  and  a 
diamond. 

12  And  the  third  row,  a  ligure,  an  agate,  and  an  amethyst. 

13  And  the  fourth  row,  a  beryl,  an  onyx,  and  a  jasper: 
they  were  inclosed  in  ouches  of  gold  in  their  inclosings. 

14  And  the  stones  were  according  to  the  names  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  twelve,  according  to  their  names,  like  the 
■engravings  of  a  signet,  every  one  with  his  name,  according 
to  the  twelve  tribes. 

15  And  they  made  upon  the  breastplate  chains  at  the  ends, 
of  wreathen  work  of  pure  gold. 

16  And  they  made  two  ouches  of  gold,  and  two  gold  rings, 
and  put  the  two  rings  in  the  two  ends  of  the  breastplate. 

17  And  they  put  the  two  wreathen  chains  of  gold  in  the 
two  rings  on  the  ends  of  the  breastplate. 

18  And  the  two  ends  of  the  two  wreathen  chains  they 
fastened  in  the  two  ouches,  and  put  them  on  the  shoulder- 
pieces  of  the  ephod,  before  it. 

19  And  they  made  two  rings  of  gold,  and  put  them  on  the 
two  ends  of  the  breastplate,  upon  the  border  of  it,  which 
icas  on  the  side  of  the  ephod  inward. 

20  And  they  made  two  other  golden  rings,  and  put  them 
on  the  two  sides  of  the  ephod  underneath,  toward  the  fore- 
part of  it,  over  against  the  other  coupling  thereof,  above  the 
curious  girdle  of  the  ephod. 

21  And  they  did  bind  the  breastplate  by  his  rings  unto 
the  rings  of  the  ephod  with  a  lace  of  blue,  that  it  might  be 
above  the  curious  girdle  of  the  ephod,  and  that  the  breast- 
plate might  not  be  loosed  from  the  ephod ;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses. 

22  ^'And  he  made  the  robe  of  the  ephod  of  woven  work, 
all  of  blue. 

23  And  there  was  a  hole  in  the  midst  of  the  robe,  as  the 
hole  of  an  habergeon,  with  a  band  round  about  the  hole, 
that  it  should  not  rend. 

24  And  they  made  upon  the  hems  of  the  robe  pome- 
granates of  blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  twined  linen. 

25  And  they  made  *bells  of  pure  gold,  and  put  the  bells 
between  the  pomegranates  upon  the  hem  of  the  robe,  round 
about  between  the  pomegranates  ; 

26  A  bell  and  a  pomegranate,  a  bell  and  a  pomegranate, 
round  about  the  hem  of  the  robe  to  minister  in ;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

27  ^'And  they  made  coats  of  fine  linen  of  woven  work  for 
Aa'ron,  and  for  his  sons, 

28  "And  a  mitre  of  fine  linen,  and  goodly  bonnets  of  fine 
linen,  and  "linen  breeches  of  fine  twined  linen, 

29  "And  a  girdle  of  fine  twined  linen,  and  blue,  and  purple, 
and  scarlet,  of  needlework ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

30  ^IJ'And  they  made  the  plate  of  the  holy  crown  of  pure 
gold,  and  wrote  upon  it  a  writing,  like  to  the  engravings  of 
a  signet,  HOLINESS  TO  THE  LORD. 

31  And  they  tied  unto  it  a  lace  of  blue,  to  fasten  it  on  high 
upon  the  mitre ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

32  ^Thus  was  all  the  work  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  tent  of 
the  congregation  finished :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  "ac- 
cording to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  so  did  they. 


7  And  he  put  them  on  the  shoulderpieces  of  the 
ephod,  to  be  stones  of  memorial  for  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

8  'And  he  made  the  breastplate,  the  work  of  the  cun- 
ning workman,  like  the  work  of  the  ephod ;  of  gold, 
of  olue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and   fine   twined 

9  linen.  It  was  foursquare ;  they  made  the  breast- 
plate double :  a  span  was  the  length  thereof,  and  a 

10  span  the  breadth  thereof,  being  double.  And  they 
set  in  it  four  rows   of  stones :   a  row   of   sardius, 

11  topaz,  and  carbuncle  was  the  first  row.  And  the 
second  row,  an  emerald,  a  sapphire,  and  a  diamond. 

12  And  the  third  row,  a  jacinth,  an  agate,  and  an  ame- 
13thyst.     And  the  fourth  row,  a  beryl,  an  onyx,  and  a 

jasper :   they   were    inclosed  in  ouches  of  gold  in 

14  their  settings.  And  the  stones  were  according  to 
the  names  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  twelve,  accord- 
ing to  their  names ;  like  the  engravings  of  a  signet, 
every   one  according  to  his  name,  for  the   twelve 

15  tribes.     And  they  made  upon  the  breastplate  chains 

16  like  cords,  of  wreathen  work  of  pure  gold.  And 
they  made  two  ouches  of  gold,  and  two  gold  rings ; 
and  put  the  two  rings  on  the  two  ends  of  the  breast- 

17  plate.  And  they  put  the  two  wreathen  chains  of 
gold  on  the  two  rings  at  the  ends  of  the  breastplate. 

18  And  the  other  two  ends  of  the  two  wreathen  chains 
they  put  on  the  two  ouches,  and  put  them  on  the 
shoulderpieces  of  the  ephod,  in  the  forepart  thereof. 

19  And  they  made  two  rings  of  gold,  and  put  them 
upon  the  two  ends  of  the  breastplate,  upon  the  edge 
thereof,   which  was  toward  the  side  of  the  ephod 

20  inward.  And  they  made  two  rings  of  gold,  and  put 
them  on  the  two  shoulderpieces  of  the  ephod  un- 
derneath, in  the  forepart  thereof,  close  by  the  coup- 
ling thereof,  above  the  cunningly  woven  band  of  the 

21  ephod.  And  they  did  bind  the  breastplate  by  the 
rings  thereof  unto  the  rings  of  the  ephod  with  a 
lace  of  blue,  that  it  might  be  upon  the  cunningly 
woven  band  of  the  ephod,  and  that  the  breastplate 
might  not  be  loosed  from  the  ephod ;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses. 

22  'A.nd  he  made  the  robe  of  the  ephod  of  woven 

23  work,  all  of  blue ;  and  the  hole  of  the  robe  in  the 
midst  thereof,  as  the  hole  of  a  coat  of  mail,  with  a 
binding  round  about  the  hole  of  it,  that  it  should 

24  not  be  rent.  And  they  made  upon  the  skirts  of  the 
robe  pomegranates  of  blue,  and  purple,  and  scarlet, 

25  and  twined  Unen.  And  they  made  bells  of  pure  gold, 
and  put  the  bells  between  the  pomegranates  upon  the 
skirts  of  the  robe  round  about,  between  the  pome- 

26granates;  a  bell  and  a  pomegranate,  a  bell  and  a 
pomegranate,  upon  the  skirts  of  the  robe  round  about, 
to  minister  in ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

27  'And  they  made  the  coats  of  fine  linen  of  woven 

28  work  for  Aa'ron,  and  for  his  sons,  and  the  *mitre  of 
fine  linen,  and  the  goodly  headtires  of  fine   linen, 

29  and  the  linen  breeches  of  fine  twined  linen,  and  the 
girdle  of  fine  twined  linen,  and  blue,  and  purple, 
and  scarlet,  the  work  of  the  embroiderer ;  as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

30  'And  they  made  the  plate  of  the  holy  crown  of 
pure  gold,  and  wrote  upon  it  a  writing,  like  the  en- 

31  gravings  of  a  signet,  holy  to  the  lord.  And 
they  tied  unto  it  a  lace  of  blue,  to  fasten  it  upon  the 
^mitre  above ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

32  Thus  was  finished  all  the  work  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  tent  of  meeting :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
did  according  to  all  that  the  LoRD  commanded 
Mo'ses,  so  did  they.

tent,  and  all  his  furniture,  his  taches,  his  boards,  his  bars, 
and  his  pillars,  and  his  sockets ; 

34  And  the  covering  of  ram'  skins  dyed  red,  and  the

35  The  ark  of  the  testimony,  and  the  staves  thereof,  and

42  According  to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  so 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  ""made  all  the  work. 

43  And  Mo'ses  did  look  upon  all  the  work,  and,  behold, 
they  had  done  it  as  the  Lord  had  commanded,  even  so  had 
they  done  it :  and  Mo'ses  'blessed  them. 

CHAPTER    XL. 

The  labernacie  reared — Aaron  and  his  sons  to  be  sanctified. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  On  the  first  day  of  the  "first  month  shalt  thou  set 
up  'the  tabernacle  of  the  tent  of  the  congregation. 

3  And  ''thou  shalt  put  therein  the  ark  of  the  testimony, 
and  cover  the  ark  with  the  veil. 

4  And  ''thou  shalt  bring  in  the  table,  and  "set  in  order 
fthe  things  that  are  to  be  set  in  order  upon  it ;  -^and  thou 
shalt  bring  in  the  candlestick,  and  light  the  lamps  thereof. 

5  "And  thou  shalt  set  the  altar  of  gold  for  the  incense 
before  the  ark  of  the  testimony,  and  put  the  hanging  of  the 
door  to  the  tabernacle. 

6  And  thou  shalt  set  the  altar  of  the  burnt  offering  before

7  And  Hhou  shalt  set  the  laver  between  the  tent  of  the 
congregation  and  the  altar,  and  shalt  put  water  therein. 

8  And  thou  shalt  set  up  the  court  round  about,  and  hang 
up  the  hanging  at  the  court  gate. 

9  And  thou  shalt  take  the  anointing  oil,  and  'anoint  the 
tabernacle,  and  all  that  is  therein,  and  shalt  hallow  it,  and 
all  the  ves.sels  thereof:  and  it  shall  be  holy.

an  altar  fnaost  holy. 

11  And  thou  shalt  anoint  the  laver  and  his  foot,andsanctifyit. 

12  'And  thou  shalt  bring  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  unto  the  door

16  Thus  did  Mo'ses ;  according  to  all  that  the  Lord  com- 
manded him,  so  did  he. 

17  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  first  month  in  the  second  year, 
on  the  first  day  of  the  month,  that  the  "tabernacle  was  reared  up. 

18  And  Mo'ses  reared  up  the  tabernacle,  and  fastened  his 


33  And  they  brought  the  tabernacle  unto  Mo'ses, 
the  Tent,  and  all  its  furniture,  its  clasps,  its  boards, 

34  its  bars,  and  its  pillars,  and  its  sockets ;  and  the 
.covering  of  rams'  skins  dyed  red,  and  the  covering 

35  of  'sealskins,  and  the  veil  of  the  screen ;  the  ark  of 
the  testimony,  and  the  staves  thereof,  and  the  mercy 

36  seat ;  the  table,  all  the  vessels  thereof,  and  the  shew 

37  bread ;  the  pure  candlestick,  the  lamps  thereof,  even 
the  lamps  to  be   set  in  order,  and  all  the  vessels 

38  thereof,  and  the  oil  for  the  light ;  and  the  golden 
altar,  and  the  anointing  oil,  and  the  sweet  incense, 

39  and  the  screen  for  the  door  of  the  Tent ;  the  brasen 
altar,  and  its  grating  of  brass,  its  staves,  and  all  its 

40  vessels,  the  laver  and  its  base ;  the  hangings  of  the 
court,  its  pillars,  and  its  sockets,  and  the  screen  for 
the  gate  of  the  court,  the  cords  thereof,  and  the  pins 
thereof,  and  all  the  instruments  of  the  service  of  the 

41  tabernacle,  for  the  tent  of  meeting;  the  finely 
wrought  garments  for  ministering  in  the  holy  place, 
and  the  holy  garments  for  Aa'ron  the  priest,  and  the 
garments   of  his   sons,    to  minister  in   the   priest's 

42  office.  According  to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo'ses,  so  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  all  the  work. 

43  And  Mo'ses  saw  all  the  work,  and,  behold,  they  had 
done  it ;  as  the  Lord  had  commanded,  even  so  had 
they  done  it:  and  Mo'ses  blessed  them. 

^v/     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  On  the  first  day  of  the  first  month  shalt  thou  rear 

3  up  the  tabernacle  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And 
thou  shalt  put  therein  the  crk  of  the  testimony,  and 

4  thou  shalt  screen  the  ark  with  the  veil.  And  thou 
shalt  bring  in  the  table,  and  set  in  order  the  things 
that  are  upon  it ;  and  thou  shalt  bring  in  the  candle- 

5  stick,  and  ^light  the  lamps  thereof.  And  thou  shalt 
set  the  golden  altar  for  incense  before  the  ark  of 
the  testimony,  and  put  the  screen  of  the  door  to  the 

6  tabernacle.  And  thou  shalt  set  the  altar  of  burnt 
offering  before  the   door   of   the   tabernacle   of  the 

7  tent  of  meeting.  And  thou  shalt  set  the  laver  be- 
tween the  tent  of  meeting  and  the  altar,  and  shalt 

8  put  water  therein.  And  thou  shalt  set  up  the  court 
round  about,  and  hang  up  the  screen  of  the  gate  of 

9  the  court.  And  thou  shalt  take  the  anointing  oil, 
and  anoint  the  tabernacle,  and  all  that  is  therein, 
and  shalt  hallow  it,  and  all   the   furniture  thereof: 

10  and  it  shall  be  holy.  And  thou  shalt  anoint  the 
altar  of  burnt  offering,  and  all  its  vessels,  and  sanc- 
tify the  altar :    and   the  altar   shall   be    most  holy. 

1 1  And  thou  shalt  anoint  the  laver  and  it  base,  and 

12  sanctify  it.  And  thou  shalt  bring  Aa'ron  and  his 
sons  unto  the   door   of  the   tent   of  meeting,  and 

13  shalt  wash  them  with  water.  And  thou  shalt  put 
upon  Aa'ron  the  holy  garments;  and  thou  shalt 
anoint  him,  and  sanctify  him,  that  he  may  minister 

14  unto    me   in   the   priest's    office.     And  thou   shalt 
15 bring  his  sons,  and  put  coats  upon  them:  and  thou 

shalt  anoint  them,  as  thou  didst  anoint  their  father, 
that  they  may  minister  unto  me  in  the  priest's 
office :  and  their  anointing  shall  be  to  them  for  an 
everla.sting  priesthood  throughout  their  generations. 
16 Thus  did  Mo'ses:  according  to  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  him,  so  did  he. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  first  month 
in    the    second    year,    on    the    first    day    of    the 

18  month,  that  the  tabernacle  was  reared  up.  And

up  the  veil  of  the  covering,  and  covered  the  ark  of  the  testi- 
mony ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.

30  ^"And  he  set  the  laver  between  the  tent  of  the  congre-

31  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  washed  their 
hands  and  their  feet  thereat : 

32  When  they  went  into  the  tent  of  the  congregation,  and 
when  they  came  near  unto  the  altar,  they  washed :  ''as  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.

his  offering  shall  be  of  fine  flour;   and  he  shall  pour 
oil  upon  it,  and  put  frankincense  thereon. 

2  And  he  shall  bring  it  to  Aa'ron's  sons  the  priests :  and 
he  shall  take  thereout  his  handful  of  the  flour  thereof,  and 
of  the  oil  thereof,  with  all  the  frankincense  thereof;  and  the 
priest  shall  burn  ''the  memorial  of  it  upon  the  altar,  to  be  an 
offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord  : 

3  And  "the  remnant  of  the  meat  offering  shall  be  Aa'ron's 
and  his  sons' :  Ht  is  &  thing  most  holy  of  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  flre.

6  Thou  shalt  part  it  in  pieces,  and  pour  oil  thereon  :  it  is 
a  meat  offering. 


3  If  his  oblation  be  a  burnt  offering  of  the  herd, 
he  shall  offer  it  a  male  without  blemish;  he  shall 
offer  it  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  that  he 

4  may  be  accepted  before  the  Lord.  And  he  shall 
lay  his  hand  upon  the  head  of  the  burnt  offering; 
and  it  shall  be  accepted  for  him  to  make  atonement 

5  for  him.  And  he  shall  kill  the  bullock  before  the 
Lord  :  and  Aa'ron's  sons,  the  priests,  shall  present

and  the  priest  shall  burn  the  whole  on  the  altar,  for 
a  burnt  offering,  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord. 

10  And  if  his  oblation  be  of  the  flock,  of  the  sheep, 
or  of  the  goats,  for  a  burnt  offering ;  he  shall  offer 

11  it  a  male  without  blemish.  And  he  shall  kill  it  on 
the  side  of  the  altar  northward  before  the  Lord  :  and 
Aa'ron's  sons,  the  priests,  shall  sprinkle   its   blood 

12  upon  the  altar  round  about.  And  he  shall  cut  it 
into  its  pieces,  with  its  head  and  its  fat :  and  the 
priest  shall  lay  them  in  order  on  the  wood  that  is 

13  on  the  fire  which  is  upon  the  altar :  but  the  inwards 
and  the  legs  shall  he  wash  with  water :  and  the 
priest  shall  offer  the  whole,  and  burn  it  upon  the 
altar :  it  is  a  burnt  offering,  an  offering  made  by  fire, 
of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

14  And  if  his  oblation  to  the  Lord  be  a  burnt  offer- 
ing of  fowls,  then   he  shall  offer  his   oblation   of 

15  turtledoves,  or  of  young  pigeons.  And  the 
priest  shall  bring  it  unto  the  altar,  and  'wring  off 
its  head,  and  burn  it  on  the  altar;  and  the  blood 
thereof  shall  be  drained  out  on  the  side  of  the  altar : 

16  and  he  shall  take  away  its  crop  with  the  ^filth  thereof, 
and  cast  it  beside  the  altar  on  the  east  part,  in  the 

1 7  place  of  the  ashes :  and  he  shall  rend  it  by  the 
wings  thereof,  but  shall  not  divide  it  asunder :  and 
the  priest  shall  burn  it  upon  the  altar,  upon  the 
wood  that  is  upon  the  fire :  it  is  a  burnt  offering, 
an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto 
the  Lord. 

^  And  when  any  one  offereth  an  oblation  of  a  meal 
offering  unto  the  Lord,  his  oblation  shall  be  of  fine 
flour;  and  he  shall  pour  oil  upon  it,  and  put  frank- 

2  incense  thereon :  and  he  shall  bring  it  to  Aa'ron's 
sons  the  priests:  and  he  shall  take  thereout  his 
handful  of  the  fine  flour  thereof,  and  of  the  oil  thereof, 
with  all  the  frankincense  thereof;  and  the  priest 
shall  burn  it  as  the  memorial  thereof  upon  the  altar, 
an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the 

3  Lord  :  and  that  which  is  left  of  the  meal  offering 
shall  be  Aa'ron's  and  his  sons' :  it  is  a  thing  most 
holy  of  the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire. 

4  And  when  thou  offerest  an  oblation  of  a  meal  offer- 
ing baken  in  the  oven,  it  shall  be  unleavened  cakes 
of  fine  flour  mingled  with  oil,  or  unleavened  wafers 

5  anointed  with  oil.  And  if  thy  oblation  be  a  meal 
offering  of  the  'baking  pan,  it  shall  be  of  fine  flour 

6  unleavened,  mingled  with  oil.  Thou  shalt  part  it  in 
pieces,  and  pour  oil  thereon:   it  is  a  meal  offering.

5  And  Aa'ron's  sons  'shall  burn  it  on  the  altar  upon  the

Lord. 

6  ^  And  if  his  offering  for  a  sacrifice  of  peace  offering  unto

4  and  the  two  kidneys,  and  the  fat  that  is  on  them,

the  Lord. 

6  And  if  his  oblation  for  a  sacrifice  of  peace  offer- 
ings anto  the  Lord  be  of  the  flock ;  male  or  female,

CHAPTER  IV. 

The  sin  offering  of  ignorance,  /or  the  priest,  for  any  of  the  people. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  "If  a  soul 
shall  sin  through  ignorance  against  any  of  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord  concerning  things  which  ought  not  to  be 
done,  and  shall  do  against  any  of  them  : 

3  'If  the  priest  that  is  anointed  do  sin  according  to  the  sin 
of  the  people ;  then  let  him  bring  for  his  sin,  which  he  hath 
sinned,  'a  young  bullock  without  blemish  unto  the  Lord 
for  a  sin  offering. 

4  And  he  shall  bring  the  bullock  ''unto  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation  before  the  Lord  ;  and  shall 
lay  his  hand  upon  the  bullock's  head,  and  kill  the  bullock 
before  the  Lord. 

5  And  the  priest  that  is  anointed  "shall  take  of  the  bullock's 
blood,  and  bring  it  to  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  : 

6  And  the  priest  shall  dip  his  finger  in  the  blood,  and 
sprinkle  of  the  blood  seven  times  before  the  Lord,  before  the 
veil  of  the  sanctuary. 

7  And  the  priest  shalKput  some  of  the  blood  upon  the  horns 
of  the  altar  of  sweet  incense  before  the  Lord,  which  is  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation;  and  shall  pour  "all  the  blood  of 
the  bullock  at  the  bottom  of  the  altar  of  the  burnt  offering, 
which  is  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

8  And  he  shall  take  off  from  it  all  the  fat  of  the  bullock

all  the  fat  that  is  upon  the  inwards, 

9  And  the  two  kidneys,  and  the  fat  that  is  upon  them, 
which  is  by  the  flanks,  and  the  caul  above  the  liver,  with  the 
kidneys,  it  shall  he  take  away. 

10  *As  it  was  taken  off  from  the  bullock  of  the  sacrifice 
of  peace  offerings  :  and  the  priest  shall  burn  them  upon  the 
altar  of  the  burnt  offering. 

11  And  the  skin  of  the  bullock,  and  all  his  flesh,  with  his 
head,  and  with  his  legs,  and  his  iuwards,  and  his  dung, 

12  Even  the  whole  bullock  shall  he  carry  forth  fwithout 
the  camp  unto  a  clean  place,  *where  the  ashes  are  poured 
out,  and 'burn  him  on  the  wood  with  fire  :  fwhere  the  ashes 
are  poured  out  shall  he  be  burnt. 

13  ^[And  "if  the  whole  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  sin  through 
ignorance,  "and  the  thing  be  hid  from  the  eyes  of  the 
assembly,  and  they  have  done  somewhat  against  any  of  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord  concerning  things  which  should 
not  be  done,  and  are  guilty ; 

14  When  the  sin,  which  they  have  sinned  against  it,  is  known, 
then  the  congregation  shall  offer  a  young  bullock  for  the  sin, 
and  bring  him  before  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  elders  of  the  congregation  "shall  lay  their 
hands  upon  the  head  of  the  bullock  before  the  Lord  ;  and 
the  bullock  shall  be  killed  before  the  Lord. 

16  «And  the  priest  that  is  anointed  shall  bring  of  the  bul- 
lock's blood  to  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation : 


12      And  if  his  oblation  be  a  goat,  then  he  shall  offer 
13 it  before  the  Lord:  and  he  shall  lay  his  hand  upon 
the  head  of  it,  and  kill  it  before  the  tent  of  meet- 
ing :  and  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  shall  sprinkle  the  blood 

14  thereof  upon  the  altar  round  about.  And  he  shall 
offer  thereof  his  oblation,  even  an  offering  made  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord;  the  fat  that  covereth  the   in- 

15  wards,  and  all  the  fat  that  is  upon  the  inwards,  and 
the  two  kidneys,  and  the  fat  that  is  upon  them, 
which  is  by  the  loins,  and  the  caul  upon  the  liver, 

16 'with  the  kidneys,  shall  he  take  away.  And  the 
priest  shall  burn  them  upon  the  altar :  it  is  the  food 
of  the  offering  made  by  fire,  for  a  sweet  savour :  all 

17  the  fat  is  the  Lord's.  It  shall  be  a  perpetual  statute 
throughout  your,  generations  in  all  your  dwellings, 
that  ye  shall  eat  neither  fat  nor  blood. 

^     And     the    Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  If  any 
one  shall  sin  ^unwittingly,  in  any  of  the  things 
which  the  Lord  hath  commanded  not  to  be  done, 

3  and  shall  do  any  one  of  them  :  if  the  anointed 
priest  shall  sin  so  as  to  bring  guilt  on  the  people ; 
then  let  him  offer  for  his  sin,  which  he  hath  sinned, 
a  young  bullock  without  blemish  unto   the  Lord 

4  for  a  sin  offering.  And  he  shall  bring  the  bullock 
unto  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting  before  the 
Lord  ;  and  he  shall  lay  his  hand  upon  the  head  of 
the  bullock,  and  kill  the  bullock  before  the  Lord. 

5  And  the  anointed  priest  shall  take  of  the  blood  of 
the   bullock,   and  bring   it  to  the  tent  of  meeting : 

6  and  the  priest  shall  dip  his  finger  in  the  blood,  and 
sprinkle  of  the  blood  seven  times  before  the  Lord, 

7  before  the  veil  of  the  sanctuary.  And  the  priest 
shall  put  of  the  blood  upon  the  horns  of  the  altar 
of  sweet  incense  before  the  Lord,  which  is  in  the 
tent  of  meeting ;  and  all  the  blood  of  the  bullock 
shall  he  pour  out  at  the  base  of  the  altar  of  burnt 
offering,  which  is  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meet- 

8  ing.  And  all  the  fat  of  the  bullock  of  the  sin  offer- 
ing he  shall  take  off  from  it ;  the  fat  that  covereth 
the  inwards,  and  all  the  fat  that   is  upon  the  in- 

9  wards,  and  the  two  kidneys,  and  the  fat  that  is  upon 
them,  which  is  by  the  loins,  and  the  caul  upon  the 

10  liver,  'with  the  kidneys,  shall  he  take  away,  as  it  is 
taken  off  from  the  ox  of  the  sacrifice  of  peace  offer- 
ings :  and  the  priest  shall  burn  them  upon  the  altar 

11  of  burnt  offering.  And  the  skin  of  the  bullock, 
and  all  its  flesh,  with  its  head,  and  with  its  legs,  and 

12  its  inwards,  and  its  dung,  even  the  whole  bullock 
shall  he  carry  forth  without  the  camp  unto  a  clean 
place,  where  the  ashes  are  poured  out,  and  burn  it 
on  wood  with  fire  :  where  the  ashes  are  poured  out 
shall  it  be  burnt. 

13  And  if  the  whole  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  shall  err, 
and  the  thing  be  hid  from  the  eyes  of  the  assembly, 
and  they  have  done  any  of  the  things  which  the 
Lord  hath  commanded  not  to   be   done,   and    are 

14 guilty;  when  the  sin  wherein  they  have  sinned  is 
known,  then  the  assembly  shall  offer  a  young  bul- 
lock for  a  sin  offering,  and  bring  it  before  the  tent 

15  of  meeting.  And  the  elders  of  the  congregation 
shall  lay  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the  bullock 
before  the  Lord  :  and  the  bullock  shall  be  killed  be- 

16  fore  the  Lord.  And  the  anointed  priest  shall  bring 
of  the  blood  of  the  bullock  to  the  tent  of  meeting :

CHAPTER    V. 

The  trespass  offering  in  sacrilege,  and  in  sins  of  ignorance. 

AND  if  a  soul  sin,  "and  hear  the  voice  of  swearing,  and 
is  a  witness,  whether  he  hath  seen  or  known  of  it ;  if  he 
do  not  utter  it,  then  he  shall  'bear  his  iniquity. 

2  Or  "if  a  soul  touch  any  unclean  thing,  whether  it  he,  a 
carcass  of  an  unclean  beast,  or  a  carcass  of  unclean  cattle, 
or  the  carcass  of  unclean  creeping  things,  and  if  it  be  hid- 
den from  him ;  he  also  shall  be  unclean,  and  ''guilty. 

3  Or  if  he  touch  *the  uncleanness  of  man,  whatsoever  un- 
cleanness  it  he  that  a  man  shall  be  defiled  withal,  and  it  be 
hid  from  him;  when  he  knoweth  of  it,  then  he  shall  be 
guilty. 

4  Or  if  a  soul  swear,  pronouncing  with  his  lips -to  do  evil, 
or  "to  do  good,  whatsoever  it  he  that  a  man  shall  pronounce 
with  an  oath,  and  it  be  hid  from  him ;  when  he  knoweth 
of  it,  then  he  shall  be  guilty  in  one  of  these. 

5  And  it  shall  be,  when  he  shall  be  guilty  in  one  of  these 
things,  that  he  shall  ''confess  that  he  hath  sinned  in  that 
thing  : 

6  And  he  shall  bring  his  trespass  offering  unto  the 
Lord  for  his  sin  which  he  hath  sinned,  a  female  from 
the  flock,  a  lamb,  or  a  kid  of  the  goats,  for  a  sin  offering ; 
and  the  priest  shall  make  an  atonement  for  him  concerning 
his  sin. 

7  And  'if  fhe  be  not  able  to  bring  a  lamb,  then  he  shall 
bring  for  his  trespass,  which  he  hath  committed,  two  Hurtle- 
doves,  or  two  young  pigeons,  unto  the  Lord  ;  one  for  a 
sin  offering,  and  the  other  for  a  burnt  offering. 

8  And  he  shall  bring  them  unto  the  priest,  who  shall  offer 
that  which  is  for  the  sin  offering  first,  and  'wring  off  his 
head  from  his  neck,  but  shall  not  divide  it  asunder: 

9  And  he  shall  sprinkle  of  the  blood  of  the  sin  offering 
upon  the  side  of  the  altar;  and  "the  rest  of  the  blood 
shall  be  wrung  out  at  the  bottom  of  the  altar :  it  is  a  sin 
offering. 

10  And  he  shall  offer  the  second  for  a  burnt  offering,  ac- 
cording to  the  II "manner:  "and  the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  him  for  his  sin  which  he  hath  sinned,  and  it 
shall  be  forgiven  him. 

11  5[But  if  he  be  not  able  to  bring  two  turtle  doves,  or 
two  young  pigeons,  then  he  that  sinned  shall  bring  for  his 
offering  the  tenth  part  of  an  ephah  of  fine  flour  for  a  sin 
offering;  "he  shall  put  no  oil  upon  it,  neither  shall  he  put 
any  frankincense  thereon :  for  it  is  a  sin  offering. 

12  Then  shall  he  bring  it  to  the  priest,  and  the  priest  shall 
take  his  handful  of  it,  "even  a  memorial  thereof,  and  burn  it 
on  the  altar,  ''according  to  the  offerings  made  by  fire  unto 
the  Lord  :  it  is  a  sin  offering.

14  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,

"the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary,  for  a  trespass  offering  : 

16  And  he  shall  make  amends  for  the  harm  that  he  hath 
done  in  the  holy  thing,  and  'shall  add  the  fifth  part  thereto,

atonement  for  him  with  the  ram  of  the  trespass  offering,  and 
it  shall  be  forgiven  him. 

17  ^And  if  ''a  soul  sin,  and  commit  any  of  these  things 
which  are  forbidden  to  be  done  by  the  commandments  of

of  adjuration,  he  being  a  witness,  whether  he  hath 
seen  or  known,  if  he  do  not  utter  it,  then  he  shall 

2  bear  his  iniquity :  or  if  any  one  totfch  any  unclean 
thing,  whether  it  be  the  carcase  of  an  unclean  beast, 
or  the  carcase  of  unclean  cattle,  or  the  carcase  of 
unclean  creeping  things,  and  it  be  hidden  from  him, 

3  and  he  be  unclean,  then  he  shall  be  guilty :  or  if  he 
touch  the  uncleanness  of  man,  whatsoever  his  un 
cleanness  be  wherewith  he  is  unclean,  and  it  be  hid 
from  him ;  when  he  knoweth  of  it,  then  he  shall  be 

4  guilty :  or  if  any  one  swear  rashly  with  his  lips  to 
do  evil,  or  to  do  good,  whatsoever  it  be  that  a  man 
shall  utter  rashly  with  an  oath,  and  it  be  hid  from

he  shall  be  guilty  in   one  of  these  things,  that  he 

6 shall  confess  that  wherein  he  hath  sinned:  and  he 
shall  bring  'his  guilt  offering  unto  the  Lord  for  his 
sin  which  he  hath  sinned,  a  female  from  the  flock,  a 
lamb  or  a  goat,  for  a  sin  offering;  and  the  priest 
shall  make  atonement  for  him  as  concerning  his  sin. 

7  And  if  his  means  suffice  not  for  a  lamb,  then  he 
shall  bring  'his  guilt  offering  for  that  wherein  he 
hath  sinned,  two  turtledoves,  or  two  young  pigeons, 
unto  the  Lord  ;  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and  the  other 

8  for  a  burnt  offering.  And  he  shall  bring  them  unto 
the  priest,  who  shall  offer  that  which  is  for  the  sin 
offering  first,  and  ^wring  off  its  head  from  its  neck, 

9 but  shall  not  divide  it  asunder:  and  he  shall 
sprinkle  of  the  blood  of  the  sin  offering  upon  the 
side  of  the  altar ;  and  the  rest  of  the  blood  shall  be 
drained  out  at  the  base  of  the  altar :  it  is  a  sin  offer- 
lOing.  And  he  shall  'offer  the  second  for  a  burnt 
oTOring,  according  to  the  ordinance:  and  the  priest 
shall  make  atonement  for  him  as  concerning  his  sin 
which  he  hath  sinned,  and  he  shall  be  forgiven.

of  an  ephah  of  fine  flour  for  a  sin  offering ;  he  snail 
put  no  oil  upon  it,  neither  shall  he  put  any  frankin- 

12  cense  thereon  :  for  it  is  a  sin  offering.  And  he  shall 
bring  it  to  the  priest,  and  the  priest  shall  take  his 
handful  of  it  as  the  memorial  thereof,  and  burn  it 
on  the  altar,  *upon  the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made 

13  by  fire :  it  is  a  sin  offering.  And  the  priest  shall 
make  atonement  for  him  as  touching  his  sin  that 
he  hath  sinned  in  any  of  these  things,  and  he  shall 
be  forgiven :  and  the  remnant  shall  be  the  priest's, 
as  the  meal  offering. 

14  And     the    Lord    spake    unto     Mo'ses,  saying, 

15  If  any  one  commit  a  trespass,  and  sin  unwittingly, 
in  the  holy  things  of  the  Lord;  then  he  shall  bring 
his  guilt  offering  unto  the  LoRD,  a  ram  without 
blemish  out  of  the  flock,  according  to  thy  estimation 
in  silver  by  shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary, 

16 for  a  guilt  offering:  and  he  shall  make  restitution 
for  that  which  he  hath  done  amiss  in  the  holy  thing,

unto  the  priest:  and  the  priest  shall  make  atone- 
ment for  him  with  the  ram  of  the  guilt  offering,  and 
he  shall  be  forgiven. 

17  And  if  any  one  sin,  and  do  any  of  the  things  which 
the  Lord  hath  commanded  not  to  be  done ;  though  he 
knew  it  not,  yet  is  he  guilty,  and  shall  bear  his  iniq-

concerning  his  ignorance  wherein  he  erred  and  wist  it  not, 
and  it  shall  be  forgiven  him.

against  the  Loed. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

Offering  at  the  consecration  of  a  priest — The  sin  offering. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  If  a  soul  sin,  and  "commit  a  trespass  against  the  Loed, 
and  ''lie  unto  his  neighbour  in   that  ''which  was  delivered 
him  to  keep,  or  in  ||  ffellowship,  or  in  a  thing  taken  away 
by  violence,  or  hath  ''deceived  his  neighbour ; 

3  Or  ''have  found  that  which  was  lost,  and  lieth  concerning 
it,  and  -^sweareth  falsely;  in  any  of  all  these  that  a  man 
doeth,  sinning  therein : 

4  Then  it  shall  be,  because  he  hath  sinned,  and  is  guilty, 
that  he  shall  restore  that  which  he  took  violently  away,  or 
the  thing  which  he  hath  deceitfully  gotten,  or  that  which 
was  delivered  him  to  keep,  or  the  lost  thing  which  he  found, 

5  Or  all  that  about  which  he  had  sworn  falsely ;  he  shall 
even  "restore  it  in  the  principal,  and  shall  add  the  fifth  part 
more  thereto,  and  give  it  unto  him  to  whom  it  appertaineth, 
llfin  the  day  of  his  trespass  offering. 

6  And  he  shall  bring  his  trespass  offering  unto  the  Lord, 
*a  ram  without  blemish  out  of  the  flock,  with  thy  estimation, 
for  a  trespass  offering,  unto  the  priest : 

7  *And  the  priest  shall  make  an  atonement  for  him  before 
the  Lord  :  and  it  shall  be  forgiven  him  for  any  thing  of  all 
that  he  hath  done  in  trespassing  therein. 

8  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

9  Command  Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  saying,  This  is  the  law 
of  the  burnt  offering:  It  is  the  burnt  offering,  ||  because  of 
the  burning  upon  the  altar  all  night  unto  the  morning,  and 
the  fire  of  the  altar  shall  be  burning  in  it. 

10  *And  the  priest  shall  put  on  his  linen  garment,  and  his 
linen  breeches  shall  he  put  upon  hie  flesh,  and  take  up  the 
ashes  which  the  fire  hath  consumed  with  the  burnt  offering 
on  the  altar,  and  he  shall  put  them  'beside  the  altar. 

11  And  ""he  shall  put  off  his  garments,  and  put  on  other 
garments,  and  carry  forth  the  ashes  without  the  camp  "unto 
a  clean  place. 

12  And  the  fire  upon  the  altar  shall  be  burning  in  it;  it 
shall  not  be  put  out:  and  the  priest  shall  burn  wood  on  it 
every  morning,  and  lay  the  burnt  offering  in  order  upon  it ; 
and  he  shall  burn  thereon  "the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings. 

13  The  fire  shall  ever  be  burning  upon  the  altar ;  it  shall 
never  go  out. 

14  ^^And  this  is  the  law  of  the  meat  offering:  The  sons 
of  Aa'ron  shall  offer  it  before  the  Loed,  before  the  altar. 

15  And  he  shall  take  of  it  his  handful,  of  the  flour  of  the 
meat  offering,  and  of  the  oil  thereof,  and  all  the  frankincense 
which  is  upon  the  meat  offering,  and  shall  burn  it  upon  the 
altar  for  a  sweet  savour,  even  the  "memorial  of  it,  unto  the 
Lord. 

16  And  ""the  remainder  thereof  ^hall  Aa'ron  and  his  sons 
eat :  'with  unleavened  bread  shall  it  be  eaten  in  the  holy 
place;  in  the  court  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation 
they  shall  eat  it. 

17  'It  shall  not  be  baken  with  leaven.  "I  have  given  it  unto 
them  for  their  portion  of  my  offerings  made  by  fire :  "'It  is 
most  holy,  as  is  the  sin  offering,  and  as  the  trespass  offering. 

18  "All  the  males  among  the  children  of  Aa'ron  shall  eat 
of  it.  'It  shaU  be  a  statute  for  ever  in  your  generations  con- 
cerning the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire :  "every  one 
that  toucheth  them  shall  be  holy. 

19  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

20  'This  is  the  offering  of  Aa'ron  and  of  his  sons,  which 
they  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  in  the  day  when   he  is 


the  flock,  according  to  thy  estimation,  for  a  guilt 
offering,  unto  the  priest :  and  the  priest  shall  make 
atonement  for  him  concerning  the  thing  wherein  he 
erred  unwittingly  and  knew  it  not,  and  he  shall  be 
19  forgiven.  It  is  a  guilt  offering :  he  is  certainly  guilty 
before  the  Lord. 

O  J  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  If  any 
one  sin  and  commit  a  trespass  against  the  Lord, 
and  deal  falrely  with  his  neighbour  in  a  matter  of 
deposit,  or  of  'bargain,  or  of  robbery,  or  have  op- 
3 pressed  his  neighbour;  or  have  found  that  which 
was  lost,  and  deal  falsely  therein,  and  swear  to  a  lie ; 
in  any  of  all  these  that  a  man  doeth,  sinning  therein  : 

4  then  it  shall  be,  if  he  hath  sinned,  and  is  guilty,  that 
he  shall  restore  that  which  he  took  by  robbery,  or 
the  thing  which  he  hath  gotten  by  oppression,  or 
the  deposit  which  was  committed  to  him,  or  the  lost 

5  thing  which  he  found,  or  any  thing  about  which  he 
hath  sworn  falsely ;  he  shall  even  restore  it  in  full, 
and  shall  add  the  fifth  part  more  thereto :  unto  him 
to  whom  it  appertaineth  shall  he  give  it,  in  the  day 

6  of  his  being  found  guilty.  And  he  shall  bring  his 
guilt  offering  unto  the  Lord,  a  ram  without  blemish 
out  of  the  flock,  according  to  thy  estimation,  for  a 

7  guilt  offering,  unto  the  priest :  and  the  priest  shall 
make  atonement  for  him  before  the  Lord,  an«''  he 
shall  be  forgiven ;  concerning  whatsoever  he  coeth 
so  as  to  be  guilty  thereby. 

I  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Com- 
mand Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  saying,  This  is  the  law 
of  the  burnt  offering:  the  burnt  offering  shall  be 
^on  the  hearth  upon  the  altar  all  night  unto  the 
morning;    and   the  flre   of  the  altar  shall  be  kept 

10  burning  thereon.  And  the  priest  shall  put  on  his 
linen  garment,  and  his  linen  breeches  shall  he  put 
upon  his  flesh ;  and  he  shall  take  up  the  ashes 
whereto  the  fire  hath  consumed  the  burnt  offering 
on  the  altar,  and  he  shall  put  them  beside  the  altar. 

11  And  he  shall  put  off  his  garments,  and  put  on  other 
garments,  and   carry   forth   the    ashes   without    the 

12  camp  unto  a  clean  place.  And  the  fire  upon  the 
altar  shall  be  kept  burning  thereon,  it  shall  not  go 
out;    and   the   priest  shall  burn  wood   on   it  every 

morning :  and   he  shall  lay  the   burnt'  offering   in 
order  upon  it,  and  shall  burn  thereon  the  fat  of  the 

13  peace  offerings.  Fire  shall  be  kept  burning  upon 
the  altar  continually ;  it  shall  not  go  out. 

14  And  this  is  the  law  of  the  meal  offering :  the  sons 
of  Aa'ron  shall  offer  it  before  the  Lord,  before  the 

15  altar.  And  he  shall  take  up  therefrom  his  handful, 
of  the  fine  flour  of  the  meal  offering,  and  of  the  oil 
thereof,  and  all  the  frankincense  which  is  upon  the 
meal  offering,  and  shall  burn  it  upon  the  altar  for 
a  sweet  savour,  as   the   memorial   thereof,  unto  the 

16  Lord.  And  that  which  is  left  thereof  shall  Aa'ron 
and  his  sons  eat :  it  shall  be  eaten  without  leaven 
in  a  holy  place ;  in  the  court  of  the  tent  of  meeting 

17  they  shall  eat  it.  It  shall  not  be  baken  with  leavfin. 
I  have  given  it  as  their  portion  of  my  offerings  made 
by  fire ;  it  is  most  holy,  as  the  sin  offering,  and  as 

18  the  guilt  offering.  Every  male  among  the  children  of 
Aa'ron  shall  eat  of  it,  as  a  due  for  ever  throughout 
your  generations,  from  the  offerings  of  the  Lord 
made  by  fire :  whosoever  toucheth  them  shall  be 
holy. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  This  is 
the  oblation  of  Aa'ron  and  of  his  sons,  which  they 
shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  in  the  day  when  he   is

LIKEWISE  "this  is  the  law  of  the  trespass  offering:  Ht 
is  most  holy. 

2  "In  the  place  where  they  kill  the  burnt  offering  shall  they 
kill  the  trespass  offering:  and  the  blood  thereof  shall  he 
sprinkle  round  about  upon  the  altar. 

3  And  he  shall  offer  of  it  ''all  the  fat  thereof;  the  rump, 
and  the  fat  that  covereth  the  inwards, 

4  And  the  two  kidneys,  and  the  fat  that  is  on  them,  which 
is  by  the  flanks,  and  the  caul  that  is  above  the  liver,  with  the 
kidneys,  it  shall  he  take  away  : 

5  And  the  priest  shall  burn  them  upon  the  altar  for  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord  :  it  is  a  trespass  offering. 

6  'Every  male  among  the  priests  shall  eat  thereof:  it  shall 
be  eaten  in  the  holy  place :  ■'^it  is  most  holy. 

7  As  the  sin  offering  is,  so  is  "the  trespass  offering :  there 
is  one  law  for  them :  the  priest  that  maketh  atonement  there- 
with shall  have  it. 

8  And  the  priest  that  offereth  any  man's  burnt  offering, 
even  the  priest  shall  have  to  himself  the  skin  of  the  burnt 
offering  which  he  hath  offered. 

9  And  ''all  the  meat  offering  that  is  baken  in  the  oven,  and 
all  that  is  dressed  in  the  frying  pan,  and  ||  in  the  pan,  shall 
be  the  priest's  that  offereth  it. 

10  And  every  meat  offering  mingled  with  oil,  and  dry, 
shall  all  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  have,  one  as  nrn^h  as  another. 

11  And  "this  is  the  law  of  the  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings, 
which  he  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord. 

12  If  he  offer  it  for  a  thanksgiving,  then  he  shall  offer 
with  the  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  unleavened  cakes  mingled 
with  oil,  and  unleavened  waf<^.rs  *anointed  with  oil,  and 
cakes  mingled  with  oil,  of    fine  flour,  fried. 

13  Besides  the  cakes,  he  shall  offer/or  his  offering,  'leavened 
bread  with  the  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  of  his  peace  offerings. 

14  And  of  it  he  shall  offer  one  out  of  the  whole  oblation

priest's  that  sprinkleth  the  blood  of  the  peace  offerings.

for  a   meal   offering  perpetually,  half  of  it  in  the 

21  morning,  and  half  thereof  in  the  evening.  On  a 
'baking  pan  it  shall  be  made  with  oil ;  when  it  is 
soaked,  thou  shalt  bring  it  in :  in  ^baken  pieces 
shalt  thou  offer  the  meal  offering  for  a  sweet  savour 

22  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  anointed  priest  that  shall 
be  in  his  stead  from  among  his  sons  shall  offer  it : 
by  a  statute  for  ever  it  shall  be  wholly  burnt  unto 

23  the  Lord.  And  every  meal  offering  of  the  priest 
shall  be  wholly  burnt :  it  shall  not  be  eaten. 

1  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Speak 
unto  Aa'ron  and  to  his  sons,  saying,  This  is  the  law 
of  the  sin  offering :  in  the  place  where  the  burnt 
offering  is  killed   shall  the   sin  offering  be  killed 

26  before  the  Lord  :  it  is  most  holy.  The  priest  that 
offereth  it  for  sin  shall  eat  it :  in  a  holy  place  shall 
it  be  eaten,  in  the  court  of  the  tent  of  meeting. 

27  ^Whatsoever  shall  touch  the  flesh  thereof  shall  be 
holy:  and  when  there  is  sprinkled  of  the  blood 
thereof  upon  any  garment,    thou    shalt  wash  that 

28  whereon  it  was  sprinkled  in  a  holy  place.  But  the 
earthen  vessel  wherein  it  is  sodden  shall  be  broken : 
and  if  it  be  sodden  in  a  brasen  vessel,  it  shall  be 

29  scoured,  and  rinsed  in  water.     Every  male  among 

30  the  priests  shall  eat  thereof:  it  is  most  holy.  And 
no  sin  offering,  whereof  any  of  the  blood  is  brought 
into  the  tent  of  meeting  to  make  atonement  in  the 
holy  place,  shall  be  eaten :  it  shall  be  burnt  with 
fire. 

♦      And  this  is  the  law  of  the  guilt  offering :  it  is  most 

2  holy.  In  the  place  where  they  kill  the  burnt  offer- 
ing shall  they  kill  the  guilt  offering :  and  the  blood 
thereof  shall  he  sprinkle  upon  the  altar  round  about. 

3  And  he  shall  offer  of  it  all  the  fat  thereof;  the  fat 

4  tail,  and  the  fat  that  covereth  the  inwards,  and  the 
two  kidneys,  and  the  iat  that  is  on  them,  which  is 
by  the  loins,  and  the  caul  upon  the  liver,  *with  the 

5  kidneys,  shall  he  take  away :  and  the  priest  shall 
burn  them  upon  the  altar  for  an  offering  made  by 

6 fire  unto  the  Lord:  it  is  a  guilt  offering.  Every 
male  among  the  priests  shall  eat  thereof:  it  shall  be 

7  eaten  in  a  holy  place :  it  is  most  holy.  As  is  the 
sin  offering,  so  is  the  guilt  offering :  there  is  one  law 
for  them :  the  priest  that  maketh  atonement  there- 

8  with,  he  shall  have  it.  And  the  priest  that  offereth 
any  man's  burnt  offering,  even  the  priest  shall  have 
to  himself  the  skin  of  the  burnt  offering  which  he 

9  hath  offered.  And  every  meal  offering  that  is  baken 
in  the  oven,  and  all  that  is  dressed  in  the  frying  pan, 
and  on  the  'baking  pan,  shall  be  the  priest's   that 

10  offereth  it.  And  every  meal  offering,  mingled  with 
oil,  or  dry,  shall  all  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  have,  one  as 
well  as  another, 

11  And  this  is  the  law  of  the  sacrifice  of  peace 
offerings,   which    one    shall   offer   unto  the  Lord. 

12  If  he  offer  it  for  a  thanksgiving,  then  he 
shall  offer  with  the  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  un- 
leavened cakes  mingled  with  oil,  and  unleavened 
wafers  anointed  with  oil,  and  cakes  mingled  with 

13  oil,  of  fine  flour  soaked.  With  cakes  of  leavened 
bread   he  shall   offer   his   oblation   with   the  sacri- 

14fice  of  his  peace  offerings  for  thanksgiving.  And 
of  it  he  shall  offer  one  out  of  each  oblation  for  an 
heave  offering  unto  the  Lord  ;  it  shall  be  the  priest's 
that  sprinkleth  the  blood  of  the  peace    offerings.

28  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,

offerings,  which  pertain  unto  the  Lord,  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people. 

§     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  Speak

which  dieth  of  itself,  and  the  fat  of  that  which  is

eateth  the  &t  of  the  beast,  of  which  men  ofifer  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord,  even  the  soul 
that   eateth    it   shall    be    cut  off  from  his  people

27  Whosoever  it  be  that  eateth  any  blood,  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people. 

And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  Speak 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  He  that  offereth 
the  sacrifice  of  his  peace  offerings  unto  the  Lord

30 sacrifice  of  his  peace  offerings:  his  own  hands

the  fat  with  the  breast  shall  he  bring,  that  the  breast 
may  be  waved  for  a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord,

32  but  the  breast  shall  be  Aa'ron's  and  his  sons'.  And 
the  right  'thigh  shall  ye  give  unto  the  priest  for  an 
heave   offering    out  of  the    sacrifices  of  your  peace 

33  offerings.  H  -  .mong  the  sons  of  Aa'ron,  that  offer- 
eth the  blood  of  tl^-   peace   offerings,  and  the   fat, 

34  shall  have  the  right  'thigh  for  a  portion.  For  the 
wave  breast  and  the  heave  'thigh  have  I  taken  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  sacrifices  of  their 
peace  offerings,  and  have  given  them  unto  Aa'ron 
the  priest  and  unto  his  sons  as  a  due  for  ever  from 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

35  This  is  the  ^anointing-portion  of  Aa'ron,  and

37  due  for  ever  throughout  their  generations.  This

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Moses  consecrateth  Aaron  and  his  sons— Place  of  their  consecration. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  "Take  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  with  him,  and  Hhe  gar- 
ments and  "the  anointing  oil,  and  a  bullock  for  the  sin  offer-

3  And  gather  thou  all  the  congregation  together  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

4  And  Mo'ses  did  as  the  Lord  commanded  him ;  and  the 
assembly  was  gathered  together  unto  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation. 

5  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  congregation,  ''This  is  the 
thing  which  the  Lord  commanded  to  be  done, 

6  And  Mo'ses  brought  Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  "and  washed 
them  with  water.

the  girdle,  and  clothed  him  with  the  robe,  and  put  the  ephod 
upon  him,  and  he  girded  him  with  tne  curious  girdle  of  the 
ephod,  and  bound  it  unto  him  therewith. 

8  And  he  put  the  breastplate  upon  him :  also  he  *put  in 
the  breastplate  the  U'rim  and  the  Thum'mim. 

9  'And  he  put  the  mitre  upon  his  head ;  also  upon  the 
mitre,  even  upon  his  forefront,  did  he  put  the  golden  plate, 
the  holy  crown ;  as  the  Lord  ^commanded  Mo'ses. 

10  'And  Mo'ses  took  the  anointing  oil,  and  anointed  the 
tabernacle  and  all  that  was  therein,  and  sanctified  them. 

11  And  he  sprinkled  thereof  upon  the  altar  seven  times, 
and  anointed  the  altar  and  all  his  vessels,  both  the  laver 
and  his  foot,  to  sanctify  them. 

12  And  he  ""poured  of  the  anointing  oil  upon  Aa'ron's 
head,  and  anointed  him,  to  sanctify  him. 

13  "And  Mo'ses  brought  Aa'ron's  sons,  and  put  coats  upon 
them,  and  girded  them  with  girdles,  and  fput  bonnets  upon 
them ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

14  "And  he  brought  the  bullock  for  the  sin  offering:  and 
Aa'ron  and  his  sons  "laid  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the 
bullock  for  the  sin  offering. 

15  And  he  slew  it;  "and  Mo'ses  took  the  blood,  and  putii 
upon  the  horns  of  the  altar  round  about  with  his  finger, 
and  purified  the  altar,  and  poured  the  blood  at  the  bottom

17  But  the  bullock,  and  his  hide,  his  flesh,  and  his  dung, 
he  burnt  with  fire  without  the  camp ;  as  the  LoRD  "com- 
manded Mo'ses. 

18  ^And  he  brought  the  ram  for  the  burnt  offering  :  and 
Aa'ron  and  his  sons  laid  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the  ram.

20  And  he  cut  the  ram  into  pieces ;  and  Mo'ses  burnt  the 
head,  and  the  pieces,  and  the  fat. 

21  And  he  washed  the  inwards  and  the  legs  in  water  ;  and 
Mo'ses  burnt  the  whole  ram  upon  the  altar :  it  wcw  a  burnt 
sacrifice  for  a  sweet  savour,  and  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord;  "as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

22  ^And  '"he  brought  the  other  ram,  the  ram  of  conse- 
cration :  and  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  laid  their  hands  upon  the 
head  of  the  ram.

offering,  and  of  the  sin  offering,  and  of  the  guilt  offer- 
ing, and  of  the  consecration,  and  of  the  sacrifice  of 
38  peace  offerings ;  which  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses 
in  mount  Si'nai,  in  the  day  that  he  commanded  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  to  offer  their  oblations  unto  the 
Lord,  in  the  wilderness  of  Si'nai. 

O     >And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 
2  Take  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  with  him,  and  the  gar-

sin  offering,  and  the  two  rams,  and  the  basket  of 
3 unleavened  bread;   and  assemble  thou  all  the  con- 

4  gregation  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And 
Mo'ses  did  as  the  Lord  commanded  him ;  and  the 
congregation  was  assembled  at  the  door  of  the  tent 

5  of  meeting.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  congregar 
tion,  This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord  hath  com- 

6  manded  to  be  doiie.      And  Mo'ses  brought  Aa'ron 

7  and  his  sons,  and  washed  them  with  water.  And 
he  put  upon  him  the  coat,  and  girded  him  with  the 
girdle,  and  clothed  him  with  the  robe,  and  put  the 
ephod  upon  him,  and  he  girded  him  with  the  cun- 
ningly woven  band  of  the  ephod,  and  bound  it  unto 

Shim  therewith.  And  he  placed  the  breastplate 
upon   him:    and   in   the   breastplate    he    put    Hhe 

9  U'rim  and  the  Thum'mim.  And  he  set  the  'mitre 
upon  his  head ;  and  upon  the  'mitre,  in  front,  did 
he  set   the  golden   plate,  the  holy   crown;  as  the 

10  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.  And  Mo'ses  took  the 
anointing  oil,  and  anointed  the  tabernacle  and  all 

11  that  was  therein,  and  sanctified  them.  And  he 
sprinkled  thereof  upon  the  altar  seven  times,  and 
anointed  the  altar  and  all  its  vessels,  and  the  laver 

12  and  its  base,  to  sanctify  them.  And  he  poured 
of  the    anointing  oil    upon    Aa'ron's    head,,    and 

13  anointed  him,  to  sanctify  him.  And  Mo'ses  brought 
Aa'ron's  sons,  and  clothed  them  with  coats,  and 
girded  tjiem  with  girdles,  and  bound  headtires  upon 

14  them ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.  And  he 
brought  the  bullock  of  the  sin  offering :  and  Aa'ron 
and  his  sons  laid  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the 

15 bullock  of  the  sin  offering.  And  he  slew  it;  and 
Mo'ses  took  the  blood,  and  put  it  upon  the  horns  of 
the  altar,  round  about  with  his  finger,  and  purified 
the  altar,  and  poured  out  the  blood  at  the  base  of 
the  altar,  and  sanctified  it,  to  make  atonement  for  it. 

16  And  he  took  all  the  fat  that  was  upon  the  inwards, 
and  the  caul  of  the  liver,  and  the  two  kidneys,  and 

17  their  fat,  and  Mo'ses  burned  it  upon  the  altar.  But 
the  bullock,  and  its  skin,  and  its  flesh,  and  its  dung, 
he  burnt  with  fire  without  the  camp ;  as  the  Lord 

18  commanded  Mo'ses.  And  he  presented  the  ram  of 
the   burnt  offering:   and  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  laid 

19  their  hands  upon  the  head  of  the  ram.  And  he 
killed  it :  and  Mo'ses  sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the 

20  altar  round  about.  And  he  cut  the  ram  into  its 
pieces ;  and  Mo'ses  burnt  the  head,  and  the  pieces, 

21  and  tiie  fat.  And  he  washed  the  inwards  and 
the  legs  with  water;  and  Mo'ses  burnt  the  whole 
ram  upon  the  altar:  it  was  a  burnt  offering  for  a 
sweet  savour:  it  was  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord  ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

22  And  he  presented  the  other  ram,  the  ram  of  con- 
secration :  and  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  laid  their  hands 

23 upon  the  head  oi  the  ram.  And  he  slew  it;

right  foot. 

24  And  he  brought  Aa'ron's  sons,  an(^  Mo'ses  put  of  the 
blood  upon  the  tip  of  their  right  ear,  and  upon  the  thumbs 
of  their  right  hands,  and  upon  the  great  toes  of  tiieir  right 
feet :  and  Mo'ses  sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the  altar  round 
about. 

25  "'And  he  took  the  fat,  and  the  rump,  and  all  the  fat  that 
was  upon  the  inwards,  and  the  caul  above  the  liver,  and  the 
two  kidneys,  and  their  fat,  and  the  right  shoulder : 

26  "And  out  of  the  basket  of  unleavened  bread,  that  was 
before  the  Lord,  he  took  one  unleavened  cake,  and  a  cake 
of  oiled  bread,  and  one  wafer,  and  put  them  on  the  fat,  and 
upon  the  right  shoulder: 

27  And  he  put  all  'upon  Aa'ron's  hands,  and  upon  his  sons'' 
hands,  and  waved  them /or  a  wave  oliering  before  the  Lord. 

28  "And  Mo'ses  took  them  from  off  their  hands,  and  burnt 
them  on  the  altar  upon  the  burnt  offering :  they  were  conse- 
cration's for  a  sweet  savour :  it  is  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord. 

29  And  Mo'ses  took  the  brea.st,  and  waved  it  fo7-  a  wave 
offering  before  the  Lord  :  for  of  the  ram  of  consecration  it 
was  Mo'ses'  'part ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

30  And  'Mo'ses  took  of  the  anointing  oil,  and  oi  the  blood 
which  was  upon  the  altar,  and  sprinkled  it  upon  Aa'ron,  and 
upon  his  garments,  and  upon  his  sons,  and  upon  his  sons' 
garments  with  him  ;  and  sanctified  Aa'ron,  and  his  garments, 
and  his  sons,  and  his  sons'  garments  with  him. 

31  IfAnd  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron  and  to  his  sons,  ''Boil 
the  flesh  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  ; 
and  there  eat  it  with  the  bread  that  is  in  the  basket  of  con  ■ 
secrations,  as  I  commanded,  saying,  Aa'ron  and  his  sons 
shall  eat  it. 

32  ^And  that  which  remaineth  of  the  flesh  and  of  the 
bread  shall  ye  burn  with  fire. 

33  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  of  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation  in  seven  days,  until  the  days  of  your 
consecration  be  at  an  end :  for  -^seven  days  shall  he  conse- 
crate you. 

34  "As  he  hath  done  this  day,  so  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded to  do,  to  make  an  atonement  for  you. 

35  Therefore  shall  ye  abide  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation  day  and  night  seven  days,  and  ''keep  the 
charge  of  the  Lord,  that  ye  die  not :  for  so  I  am  commanded. 

36  So  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  did  all  things  which  the  Lord 
commanded  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

The  first  oj^erings  of  Aaron — Fire  cometh  from  the  Lord  upon  the  altar, 

AND  "it  came   to    pass    on   the   eighth  day,  that  Mo'ses 
called  Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el ; 

2  And  he  said  unto  Aa'ron,  'Take  thee  a  young  calf  for  a 
sin  offering,  ''and  a  ram  for  a  burnt  offering,  without  blemish, 
and  offer  ther^  before  the  Lord. 

3  And  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  thou  shalt  speak,  say- 
ing, ''Take  ye  a  kid  of  the  goats  for  a  sin  offering ;  and  a 
calf  and  a  lamb,  both  of  the  first  year,  without  blemish,  for 
a  burnt  offering ; 

4  Also  a  bullock  and  a  ram  for  peace  offerings,  to  sacrifice 
before  the  Lord  ;  and  'a  meat  oft'ering  mingled  with  oil : 
for  -^to-day  the  Lord  will  appear  unto  you. 

5  ^And  they  brought  that  which  Mo'ses  commanded  before 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  :  and  all  the  congregation 
drew  near  and  stood  before  the  Lord. 

6  And  Mo'ses  said.  This  ts  the  thing  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded that  ye  should  do :  and  "the  glory  of  the  Lord 
shall  appear  unto  you. 

7  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  Go  unto  the  altar,  and  *offer 
thy  sin  offering,  and  thy  burnt  offering,  and  make  an  atone- 
ment for  thyself,  and  for  the  people :  and  'offer  the  offering  of 


thumb  of  his  right  hand,  and  upon  the   great   toe 

24  of  his..right  foot.  And  he  brought  Aa'ron's  sons, 
and  Mo'ses  put  of  the  blood  upon  the  tip  of  their 
right  ear,  and  upon  the  thumb  of  their  right  hand, 
and  upon  the  great  toe  of  their  right  foot:  and 
Mo'ses  sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the  altar  round 

25  about.  And  he  took  the  fat,  and  the  fiit  tail,  and 
all  the  fat  that  was  upon  the  inwards,  and  the 
caul  of  the   liver,  and   the  two   kidneys,  and  their 

26  fat,  and  the  right  'thigh :  and  out  of  the  basket  of 
unleavened  bread,  that  was  before  the  Lord,  he 
took  one  unleavened  cake,  and  one  cake  of  oiled 
bread,  and  one  wafer,  and  placed  them  on  the  fat, 

27  and  upon  the  right  thigh :  and  he  put  the  whole 
upon  the  hands  of  Aa'ron,  and  upon  the  hands  of 
his  sons,  and  waved  them  for  a  wave  offering  before 

28  the  Lord.  And  Mo'ses  took  them  from  off  their 
hands,  and  burnt  them  on  the  altar  upon  the  burnt 
ofl'ering :  they  were  a  consecration  for  a  sweet  sa- 
vour :  it  was  an  offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

i;9  And  Mo'ses  took  the  breast,  and  waved  it  for  a  wave 
offering  before  the  Lord  :  it  was  Mo'ses'  portion  of 
the  ram  of  consecration;   as  the  Lord  commanded 

30  Mo'ses.  And  Mo'ses  took  of  the  anointing  oil,  and 
of  the  blood  which  was  upon  the  altar,  and  sprinkled 
it  upon  Aa'ron,  upon  his  garments,  rfnd  upon  his 
sons,  and  upon  his  sou's  garments  with  him;  and 
sanctified  Aa'ron,  his  garments,  and   his  sons,  and 

31  his  sons'  garments  with  him.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto 
Aa'ron  and  to  his  sons,  Boil  the  flesh  at  the  door  of 
the  tent  of  meeting :  and  there  eat  it  and  the  bread 
that  is  iu  the  basket  f  consecration,  ^as  I  com- 
manded, saying,  Aa'ron  and   his   sons   shall  eat  it. 

32  And  that  which  remaineth  of  the  flesh  and  of  the 

33  bread  shall  ye  burn  with  fire.  And  ye  shall  not  go 
out  from  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting  seven 
days,  until  the  days  of  your  consecration   be   ful- 

34 filled:  for  he  shall  ^consecrate  you  seven  days.  As 
hath  been  done  this  day,  so   the  Lord  hath  com- 

35manded  to  do,  to  make  atonement  for  you.  And 
at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting  shall  ye  abide 
day  and  night  seven  days,  and  keep  the  charge  of 
the  Lord,  that  ye  die  not :  for  so  I  am  commanded. 

36  And  Aa'ron  and  his  sons  did  all  the  things  which 
the  Lord  commanded  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

V  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  eighth  day,  that 
Mo'ses  called  Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  and  the  elders  of 

2  Is'ra-el ;  and  he  said  unto  Aa'ron,  Take  thee  a  bull 
calf  for  a  sin  offering,  and  a  ram  for  a  burnt  offer- 
ing, without  blemish,  and  offer  them  before  the  Lord. 

3  And  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  thou  shalt  speak, 
saying,  take  ye  a  he-goat  for  a  sin  offering;  and  a 
calf  and   a   lamb,  both   of  the   first  year,  without 

4 blemish,  for  a  burnt  offering;  and  an  ox  and  a  ram 
for  peace  offerings,  to  sacrifice  before  the  Lord  ; 
and  a  meal  offering  mingled  with  oil:    for  to-day 

5  the  Lord  appeareth  unto  you.  And  they  brought 
that  which  Mo'ses  commanded  before  the  tent  of 
meeting:    and  all   the  congregation  drew  near  and 

6  stood  before  the  Lord.  And  Mo'ses  said.  This  is  the 
thing  which  the  Lord  commanded  that  ye  should 
do :    and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  shall  appear  unto 

7  you.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  Draw  near 
unto  the  altar,  and  offer  thy  sin  offering,  and  thy 
burnt  offering,  and  make  atonement  for  thyself, 
and    for    the    people :    and    offer    the    oblation    of

8  ^  Aa'ron  therefore  went  unto  the  altar,  and  slew  the  calf 
of  the  sin  offering,  which  was  for  himself. 

9  *And  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  brought  the  blood  unto  him: 
and  he  dipped  his  finger  in  the  blood,  and  'put  it  upon  the

of  the  altar : 

10  "'But  the  fat,  and  the  kidneys,  and  the  caul  above  the 
liver  of  the  sin  offering,  he  burnt  upon  the  altar;  "as  the 
LoED  commanded  Mo'ses. 

11  "And  the  flesh  and  the  hide  he  burnt  with  fire  without 
the  camp. 

12  And  he  slew  the  burnt  offering;  and  Aa'ron's  sons  pre- 
sented unto  him  the  blood,  "which  he  sprinkled  round  about 
upon  the  altar. 

13  'And  they  presented  the  burnt  offerinsr  unto  him, with  the 
pieces  thereof,  and  the  head:  and  he  burnt  ttiem  upon  the  altar. 

14  ""And  he  did  wash  the  inwards  and  the  legs,  and  burnt 
them,  upon  the  burnt  offering  on  the  altar. 

15  ^'And  he  brought  the  people's  offering,  and  took  the 
goat,  which  was  the  sin  offering  for  the  people,  and  slew  it, 
and  offered  it  for  sin,  as  the  first. 

16  And  he  brought  the  burnt  offering,  and  offered  it 
'according  to  the  ||  manner. 

17  And  he  brought  "the  meat  offering,  and  ftook  a  hand- 
ful thereof,  and  burnt  i<  upon  the  altar,  ''besides  the  burnt 
sacrifice  of  the  morning. 

18  He  slew  also  the  bullock  and  the  ram  for  "a  sacrifice 
of  peace  offerings,  which  was  for  the  people :  and  Aa'ron's 
sons  presented  unto  him  the  blood,  which  he  sprinkled  upon 
the  altar  round  about, 

19  And  the  fiit  of  the  bullock  and  of  the  ram,  the  rump, 
and  that  which  covereth  the  inwards,  and  the  kidneys,  and 
the  caul  above  the  liver: 

20  And  they  put  the  fat  upon  the  breasts,  'and  he  burnt 
the  fat  upon  the  altar : 

21  And  the  breasts  and  the  right  shoulder  Aa'ron  waved  "for 
a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord  ;  as  Mo'ses  commanded. 

22  And  Aa'ron  lifted  up  his  hand  toward  the  people,  and 
''blessed  them ;  and  came  down  from  offering  of  the  sin 
offering,  and  the  burnt  offering,  and  peace  offerings. 

23  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  into  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  and  came  out,  and  blessed  the  people :  "and 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  all  the  people. 

24  And  "^there  came  a  fire  out  from  before  the  Lord,  and 
consumed  upon  the  altar  the  burnt  offering  and  the  fat : 
which  when  all  the  people  saw,  ^they  shouted,  and  fell  on 
their  faces. 

CHAPTER   X. 

Nadab  and  Abihu  are  burnt  by  fire — Wine  forbidden  to  the  priests. 

AND  "Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu,  the  sons  of  Aa'ron,  'took  either 
of  them  his  censer,  and  put  fire  therein,  and  put  incense 
thereon,  and  offered  ""strange  fire  before  the  Lord,  which  he 
commanded  them  not. 

2  And  there  ''weiit  out  fire  from  the  Lord,  and  devoured 
them,  and  they  died  before  the  Lord. 

3  Then  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  This  is  it  that  the  Lord 
spake,  saying,  I  will  be  sanctified  in  them  *that  come  nigh 
me,  and  before  all  the  people  I  will  be  -^glorified.  "And 
Aa'ron  held  his  peace. 

4  And  Mo'ses  called  Mish'a-el  and  El'za-phan,  the  sons  of 
''Uz'zi-el  the  uncle  of  Aa'ron,  and  said  unto  them.  Come  near, 
'carry  your  brethren  from  before  the  sanctuary  out  of  the  camp. 

5  So  they  went  near,  and  carried  them  in  their  coats  out 
of  the  camp ;  as  Mo'ses  had  said. 

6  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,and  unto  E-le-a'zar  and  unto 
Ith'a-mar,his  sons,*Uncover  not  your  heads,n either  rend  your 
clothes;  lest  ye  die,    and   lest  'wrath   come   upon  all  the 


the  people,  and  make  atonement  for  them ;  as  the 

8  Lord  commanded.  So  Aa'ron  drew  near  unto  the 
altar,  and  slew  the  calf  of  the  sin  offering,  which  was 

9  for  himself.  And  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  presented  the 
blood  unto  him:  and  he  dipped  his  finger  in  the 
blood,  and  put  it  upon  the  horns  of  the  altar,  and 

10  poured  out  the  blood  at  the  base  of  the  altar :  but  the 
fat,  and  the  kidneys,  and  the  caul  from  the  liver  of  the 
sin  offering,  he  burnt  upon  the  altar ;  as  the  Lord 

11  commanded  Mo'ses.     And  the  flesh  and  the  skin  he 

12  burnt  with  fire  without  the  camp.  And  he  slew  the 
burnt  offering;  and  Aa'ron's  sons  delivered  unto 
him  the  blood,  and  he  sprinkled  it  upon  the  altar 

13  round  about.  And  they  delivered  the  burnt  offer- 
ing unto  him,  piece  by  piece,  and  the  head:  and  he 

1 4  burnt  them  upon  the  altar.  And  he  washed  the  in- 
wards and  the  legs,  and  burnt  them  upon  the. burnt 

1-5  offering  on  the  altar.  And  he  presented  the  jjeople's 
oblation,  and  took  the  goat  of  the  »iu  offering  which 
was  for  the  people,  and  slew   it,  and   offered  it  for 

16  sin,    ^  t;  !  first.     And  he  presented  the  burnt  offer- 

17  iig,  and  offered  it  according  to  the  ordinance.  And 
he  presented  the  meal  offering,  and  filled  his  hand 
therefrom,  and  burnt  it  upon  the  altar,  besides  the 

18buri.t  offering  of  the  riorning.  He  slew  also  the  ox 
ard  the  ram,  i  ;  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings,  whicL 
was  for  the  peOj^  't  :  and  Aa'ron's  sons  delivered  unto 
him  t^9  blood,  and  he   sprinkled  it  upon  the  altar 

19 round  about,  and  the  fat  of  the  ox;  and  of  the  ram, 
the  fat  tail,  and   that  which   covereth   the  inwards, 

20  and  the  kidneys,  and  the  caul  of  the  liver :  ar  d  they 
put  the  fat  upon  the  breasts,  and  he  burn    tne  fat 

21  upon  the  altar :  and  the  breasts  and  the  right  thigh 
Aa'ron  waved  for  a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord; 

22  as  Mo'ses  commanded.  And  Aa'ron  lifted  up  his 
hands  toward  the  people,  and  blessed  them;  and 
he  came  doWn  from    offering  the    sin  offering,  and 

23  the  burnt  offering,  and  the  peace  offerings.  And 
Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  into  the  tent  of  meeting, 
and  came  out,  and  blessed  the  people :  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord   appeared    unto  all    the  people. 

24  And  there  came  forth  fire  from  before  the  Lord, 
and  consumed  upon  the  altar  the  burnt  offering  and 
the  fat:  and  when  all  the  people  saw  it,  they 
shouted,  and  fell  on  their  faces. 

-L  V  And  Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu,  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  took 
each  of  them  his  censer,  and  put  fire  therein,  and  laid 
incense  thereon,  and  offered  strange  fire  before  the 

2  Lord,  which  he  had  not  commanded  them.  And 
there  came  forth  fire  from  before  the  Lord,  and 
devoured  them,   and  they  died  before    the  Lord. 

3  Then  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  This  is  it  that  the  Lord 
spake,  saying,  I  will  be  sanctified  in  them  that  'come 
nigh  me,  and  before  all  the  people  I  will  be  glori- 

4fied.  And  Aa'ron  held  his  peace.  And  Mo'ses 
called  Mish'a-el  and  El'za-phan,  the  sous  of  Uz'zi-el 
the  uncle  of  Aa'ron,  and  said  unto  them.  Draw  near, 
carry  your  brethren  from  before  the  sanctuary  out 

5  of  the  camp.  So  they  drew  near,  and  carried  them 
in  their  coats  out  of  the  camp ;  as  Mo'ses  had  said. 

6  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  and  unto  E-le-a'zar  and 
unto  Ith'a-mar,  his  sons,  ^Let  not  the  hair  of  your 
heads  go  loose,  neither  rend  your  clothes;  that 
ye  die  not,  and  that  he  be  not  wroth   with  all  the

bewail  the  burning  which  the  Lord  hath  kindled. 

7  ""And  ye  shall  not  go  out  from  the  door  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  lest  ye  die  :  "for  the  anointing  oil  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  you.  And  they  did  according  to  the 
word  of  Mo'ses. 

8  ^And  tile  Lord  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  saying, 

9  °Do  not  drink  wine  nor  strong  drink,  thou,  nor  thy  sons 
with  thee,  when  ye  go  into  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, lest  ye  die :  it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  throughout 
your  generations  : 

10  And  that  ye  may  ''put  difference  between  holy  and 
unholy,  and  between  unclean  and  clean; 

1 1  'And  that  ye  may  teach  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  all  the 
statutes  which  the  Lord  hath  spoken  unto  them  by  the 
hand  of  Mo'ses. 

12  ^And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  and  unto  E-le-a'zar 
and  unto  Ith'a-mar,  his  sons  that  were  left.  Take  ''the  meat 
offering  that  remaineth  of  the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made 
by  fire,  and  eat  it  without  leaven  beside  the  altar :  for  'it  is 
most  holy. 

13  And  ye  shall  eat  it  in  the  holy  place,  because  it  is  thy 
due,  and  thy  sons'  due,  of  the  sacrifices  of  the  Lord  made 
by  fire :  for  'so  I  am  commanded. 

14  And  "the  wave  breast  and  heave  shoulder  shall  ye  eat  in  a 
clean  place  ;  thou,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  daughters  with  thee : 
for  they  be  thy  due,  and  thy  sons'  due,  which  are  given  out  of 
the  sacrifices  of  peace  offerings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

15  ^The  heav-e  shoulder  and  the  wave  breast  shall  they 
bring  with  the  offerings  made  by  fire  of  the  fat,  to  wave  it 
for  a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord  ;  and' it  shall  be  thine, 
and  thy  sons'  with  thee,  by  a  statute  for  ever ;  as  the  Lord 
hath  commanded. 

16  ^And  Mo'ses  diligently  sought  "the  goat  of  the  sin  offer- 
ing, and  behold,  it  was  burnt :  and  he  was  angry  AvithE-le-a'zar

17  'Wherefore  have  ye  not  eaten  the  sin  offering  in  the 
holy  place,  seeing  it  is  most  holy,  and  God  hath  given  it 
you  to  bear  the  iniquity  of  the  congregation,  to  make  atone- 
ment for  them  before  the  Lord? 

18  Behold,  "the  blood  of  it  was  not  brought  in  within  the 
holy  place :  ye  should  indeed  have  eaten  it  in  the  holy  place, 
'as  I  commanded.  • 

19  And  Aa'ron  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Behold,  "this  day  have 
they  offered  their  sin  offering,  and  their  burnt  offering  before 
the  Lord  ;  and  such  things  have  befallen  me :  and  if  I  had 
eaten  the  sin  offering  to-day,  ''should  it  have  been  accepted 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ? 

20  And  when  Mo'ses  heard  that,  he  was  content. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

IVhat  beasts  may  and  what  may  not  be  eaten — The  unclean  creeping  things. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  to  Aa'ron,  say- 
ing unto  them, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  "These  are  the 
beasts  which  ye  shall  eat  among  all  the  beasts  that  are  on 
the  earth. 

3  Whatsoever  parteth  the  hoof,  and  is  cloven  footed,  and 
cheweth  the  cud,  among  the  beasts,  that  shall  ye  eat. 

4  Nevertheless,  these  shall  ye  not  eat  of  them  that  chew 
the  cud,  or  of  them  that  divide  the  hoof:  as  the  camel, 
because  he  cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth  not  the  hoof;  he 
is  unclean  unto  you. 

5  And  the  coney,  because  he  cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth 
not  the  hoof;  he  is  unclean  unto  you. 

6  And  the  hare,  because  he  cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth 
not  the  hoof;  he  is  unclean  unto  you. 

7  And  the  swine,  though  he  divide  the  hoof,  and  be  cloven 
footed,  yet  he  cheweth  not  the  cud  ;  ""he  is  unclean  unto  you.

of  Is'ra-el,  bewail  the  burning  which  the  Lord  hath 
7  kindled.  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  from  the  door 
of  the  tent  of  meeting,  lest  ye  die  :  for  the  anointing 
oil  of  the  Lord  is  upon  you.  And  they  did  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  Mo'ses. 

J  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  saying.  Drink 
no  wine  nor  strong  drink,  thou,  nor  thy  sons  with 
thee,  when  ye  go  into  the  tent  of  meeting,  that  ye 
die  not :    it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  throughout 

10  your  generations  :  and  'that  ye  may  put  difference 
between  the  holy  and  the  common,  and    between 

11  the  unclean  and  the  clean  ;  and  'that  ye  may  teach 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  all  the  statutes  which  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  unto  them  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

12  And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  and  unto  E-le-a'zar 
and  unto  Ith'a-mar,  his  sons  that  were  left.  Take  the 
meal  offering  that  remaineth  of  the  offerings  of  the 
Lord  made  by  fire,  and  eat  it  without  leaven  beside 

13  the  altar :  for  it  is  most  holy  :  and  ye  shall  eat  it  in 
a  holy  place,  because  it  is  thy  due,  and  thy  sons' 
due,  of  the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire  :  for 

14  so  I  am  commanded.  And  the  wave  breast  and  the 
heave  thigh  shall  ye  eat  in  a  clean  place ;  thou,  and 
thy  sons,  and  thy  daughters  with  thee  :  for  they  are 
given  as  thy  due,  and  thy  sons'  due,  out  of  the  sac- 
rifices of  the  peace  offerings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

15  The  heave  thigh  and  the  wave  breast  shall  they 
bring  with  the  offerings  made  by  fire  of  the  fat,  to 
wave  it  for  a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord  :  and  it 
shall  be  thine,  and  thy  sons'  with  thee,  as  a  due  for 
ever ;  as  the  Lord  hath  commanded. 

16  And  Mo'ses  diligently  sougbt  the  goat  of  the  sin 
oflering,  and,  behold,  it  was  burnt :  and  he  was 
angry  with  E-le-a'zar  and  with  Ith'a-mar,  the  sons  of 

17  Aa'ron  that  were  left,  saying.  Wherefore  have  ye 
not  eaten  the  sin  offering  in  the  place  of  the  sanc- 
tuary, seeing  it  is  most  holy,  and  he  hath  given  it 
you  ^to  bear  the  iniquity  of  the    congregation,  to 

18  make  atonement  for  them  before  the  Lord?  Be- 
hold, the  blood  of  it  was  not  brought  into  the  sanc- 
tuary within  :  ye  should  certainly   have  eaten  it  in 

19  the  sanctuary,  as  I  commanded.  And  Aa'ron  spake 
unto  Mo'ses,  Behold,  this  day  have  they  offered  their 
sin  offering  and  their  burnt  offering  before  the  Lord  ; 
and  there  have  befallen  me  such  things  as  these 
and  if  I  had  eaten  the  sin  offering  to-day,  would  it 
have  been  well-pleasing  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ? 

20  And  when  Mo'ses  heard  that,  it  was  well-pleasing  in 
his  sight. 

-I-J^     And  the  I^ord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  to  Aa'ron, 

2  saying  unto  ttiem,  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
saying.  These  are  the  living  things  which  ye  shall 
eat  among  all  the    beasts   that   are    on    the    earth. 

3  Whatsoever  parteth  the  hoof,  and  is  clovenfooted, 
and  'cheweth  the  cud,  among  the  beasts,  that  shall 

4  ye  eat.  Nevertheless  these  shall  ye  not  eat  of  them 
that  chew  the  cud,  or  of  them  that  part  the  hoof: 
the  camel,  because  he  'cheweth  the  cud  but  parteth 

5  not  the  hoof,  he  is  unclean  unto  you.  And  the 
^coney,  because  he  'cheweth  the  cud  but  parteth  not 

6  the  hoof,  he  is  unclean  unto  you.  And  the  hare, 
because   she  'cheweth   the  cud  but  parteth  not  the 

7  hoof,  she  is  unolean  unto  you.  And  the  swine, 
because  he  parteth  the  hoof,  and  is  clovenfooted, 
but  'cheweth  not  the  cud,  he  is  unclean  unto  you.

14  And  the  vulture,  and  the  kite  after  his  kind ; 

1 5  Every  raven  after  his  kind ; 

16  And  the  owl,  and  the  nighthawk,  and  the  cuckoo,  and 
the  hawk  after  his  kind, 

17  And  the  little  owl,  and  the  cormorant,  and  the  great  owl, 

18  And  the  swan,  and  the  pelican,  and  the  gier  eagle, 

19  And  the  stork,  the  heron  after  her  kind,  and  the  lap- 
wing, and  the  bat. 

20  All  fowls  that  creep,  going  upon  all  four,  shall  be  an 
abomination  unto  you. 

21  Yet  these  may  ye  eat,  of  every  flying  creeping  thing 
that  goeth  upon  all  four,  which  have  legs  above  their  feet, 
to  leap  withal  upon  the  earth; 

22  Even  these  of  them  ye  may  eat ;  'the  locust  after  his 
kind,  and  the  bald  locust  after  his  kind,  and  the  beetle  after 
his  kind,  and  the  grasshopper  after  his  kind. 

23  But  all  other  flying  creeping  things,  which  have  four 
feet,  shall  be  an  abomination  unto  you. 

24  And  for  these  ye  shall  be  unclean :  whosoever  toucheth 
the  carcass  of  them  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

25  And  whosoever  beareth  aught  of  the  carcass  of  them 
•shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

26  The  carcasses  of  every  beast  which  divideth  the  hoof, 
and  is  not  clovenfooted,  nor  cheweth  the  cud,  are  unclean 
unto  you :  every  one  that  toucheth  them  shall  be  unclean. 

27  And  whatsoever  goeth  upon  his  paws,  among  all  man- 
ner of  beasts  that  go  on  all  four,  those  are  unclean  unto 
you :  whoso  toucheth  their  carcass  shall  be  unclean  until 
the  even. 

28  And  he  that  beareth  the  carcass  of  them  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even :  they  are  unclean 
unto  you. 

29  5[These  also  shall  be  unclean  unto  you  among  the 
creeping  things  that  creep  upon  the  earth ;  the  weasel,  and 
*the  mouse,  and  the  tortoise  after  his  kind, 

30  And  the  ferret,  and  the  chameleon,  and  the  lizard,  and 
the  snail,  and  the  mole. 

31  These  are  unclean  to  you  among  all  that  creep :  who- 
soever doth  touch  them,  when  they  be  dead,  shall  be  un- 
clean until  the  even. 

32  And  upon  whatsoever  any  of  them,  when  they  are 
dead,  doth  fall,  it  shall  be  unclean  ;  whether  it  be  any  vessel 
of  wood,  or  raiment,  or  skin,  or  sack,  whatsoever  vessel  it 
be,  wherein  any  work  is  done,  'it  must  be  put  into  water, 
and  it  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even ;  so  it  shall  be 
cleansed. 

33  And  every  earthen  vessel,  whereinto  any  of  them 
falleth,  whatsoever  is  in  it  shall  be  unclean ;  and  "'ye  shall 
break  it. 

34  Of  all  meat  which  may  be  eaten,  that  on  which  such 
[water  cometh  shall  be  unclean:  and  all  drink  that  may  be 
[drunk  in  every  such  vessel  shall  be  unclean. 


8  Of  their  flesh  ye  shall  not  eat,  and  their  carcases 
ye  shall  not  touch ;  they  are  unclean  unto  you. 

9  These  shall  ye  eat  of  all  that  are  in  the  waters: 
whatsoever  hath  fins  and  scales  in  the  waters,  in  the 

10  seas,  and  in  the  rivers,  them  shall  ye  eat.  And  all 
that  have  not  fins,  and  scales  in  the  seas,  and  in  the 
rivers,  of  all  that  move  in  the  waters,  and  of  all  the 
living  creatures  that  are  in  the  waters,  they  are  an 

11  abomination  unto  you,  and  they  shall  be  an  abomi- 
nation unto  you ;  ye  shall  not  eat  of  their  flesh,  and 

12  their  carcases  ye  shall  have  in  abomination.  What- 
soever hath  no  fins  nor  scales  in  the  waters,  that  is 
an  abomination  unto  you. 

13  And  these  ye  shall  have  in  abomination  among 
the  fowls;  they  shall  not  be  eaten,  they  are  an 
abomination :    the   'eagle   and  the   gier  eagle,  and 

14  the  ospray;   and  the  kite,  and  the  falcon  after  its 
if  kind ;    every  raven  after  its  kind,    and  the  ostrich, 

and  the  ^night  hawk,  and  the  seamew,  and  the  hawk 
17  after  its  kind  ;  and  the  little  owl,  and  the  cormorant, 
18 and  the  great  owl;  and  the  %orned  owl,  and  the 
19 pelican,  and  the  vulture;  and  the  stork,  the  *heron 

after  its  kind,  and  the  hoopoe,  and  the  bat. 

20  All  winged  creeping  things  that  go  upon  all  four 

21  are  an  abomination  unto  you.  Yet  these  may  ye 
eat  of  all  winged  creeping  things  that  go  upon  all 
four,  which  have  legs  above  their  feet,  to  leap  withal 

22 upon  the  earth;  even  these  of  them  ye  may  eat; 
the  'locust  after  its  kind,  and  the  'bald  locust  after 
its   kind,  and   the  'cricket   after   its   kind,  and  the 

23 'grasshopper  after  its  kind.  But  all  winged  creep- 
ing things,  which  have  four  feet,  are  an  abomina- 
tion unto  you. 

24  And  by  these  ye  shall  become  unclean:  whoso- 
ever toucheth  the  carcase  of  them  shall  be  unclean 

25  until  the  even :  and  whosoever  beareth  aught  of  the 
carcase  of  them  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be  un- 

26  clean  until  the  even.  Every  beast  which  parteth 
the  hoof,  and  is  not  clovenfooted,  nor  cheweth  the 
cud,  is  unclean  unto  you :  every  one  that  toucheth 

27  them  shall  be  unclean.  And  whatsoever  goeth 
upon  its  paws,  among  all  beasts  that  go  on  all  four, 
they  are  unclean  unto  you :    whoso  toucheth  their 

28  carcase  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even.  And  he 
that  beareth  the  carcase  of  them  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even :  they  are 
unclean  unto  you. 

29  And  these  are  they  which  are  unclean  unto  you 
among  the  creeping  things  that  creep  upon  the 
earth ;    the   weasel,  and   the  mouse,  and  the  great 

30  lizard  after  its  kind,  and  the  ^gecko,  and  the  'land- 
crocodile,  and  the  "lizard,  and   the  ''sand-lizard,  and 

31  the  chameleon.  These  are  they  which  are  unclean 
to  you  among  all  that  creep :  whosoever  doth 
touch  them,  when  they   are   dead,  shall   be  unclean 

32  until  the  even.  And  upon  whatsoever  any  of 
them,  when  they  are  dead,  doth  fall,  it  shall  be 
unclean ;  whether  it  be  any  vessel  of  wood,  or 
raiment,  or  skin,  or  sack,  whatsoever  vessel  it 
be,  wherewith  any  work  is  done,  it  must  be  put 
into  water,  and  it  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even ; 

33  then  shall  it  be  clean.  And  every  earthen  vessel, 
whereinto    any    of   them    falleth,   whatsoever   is   in 

34  it  shall  be  unclean,  and  it  ye  shall  break.  All 
food  therein  which  may  be  eaten,  that  on  which 
water  cometh,  shall  be  unclean :  and  all  drink  that 
may  be  drunk  in  every  such  vessel  shall  be  unclean.

35  And  every  thiTig  whereupon  any  part  of  their  carcass 
falleth  shall  be  unclean ;  whether  it  be  oven,  or  ranges  for 
pots,  they  shall  be  broken  down :  for  they  are  unclean,  and 
shall  be  unclean  unto  you. 

36  Nevertheless  a  fountain  or  pit,  -fwherein  there  is  plenty 
of  water,  shall  be  clean :  but  that  which  toucheth  their  car- 
cass shall  be  unclean. 

37  And  if  any  part  of  their  carcass  fall  upon  any  sowing 
seed  which  is  to  be  sown,  it  shall  be  clean. 

38  But  if  any  water  be  put  upon  the  seed,  and  any  part 
of  their  carcass  fall  thereon,  it  shall  be  unclean  unto  you. 

39  And  if  any  bea.st,  of  which  ye  may  eat,  die ;  he  that 
toucheth  the  carcass  thereof  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

40  And  "he  that  eateth  of  the  carcass  of  it  shall  wash  hi.s 
clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even ;  he  also  that  beareth 
the  carcass  of  it  stall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  until 
the  even. 

41  And  every  creeping  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth 
shall  be  an  abomination ;  it  shall  not  be  eaten. 

42  Whatsoever  goeth  upon  the  belly,  and  whatsoever 
goeth  upon  all  four,  or  whatsoever  fhath  more  feet  among 
all  creeping  things  that  creep  upon  the  earth,  them  ye 
shall  not  eat ;  for  they  are  an  abomination. 

43  "Ye  shall  not  make  your  fselves  abominable  with  any 
creeping  thing  that  creepeth,  neither  shall  ye  make  your- 
selves unclean  with  them,  that  ye  should  be  defiled  thereby. 

44  For  I  am  the  Lord  your  God  :  ye  shall  therefore 
sanctify  yourselves,  and  ''ye  .shall  be  holy ;  for  I  am  holy : 
neither  shall  ye  defile  yourselves  with  any  manner  of  creep- 
ing thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth. 

45  'For  I  am  the  Lord  that  bringeth  you  up  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  to  be  your  God :  'ye  shall  therefore  be  holy, 
for  I  am  holy.         ' 

46  This  is  the  law  of  the  beasts,  and  of  the  fowl,  and  of 
every  living  creature  that  moveth  in  the«vaters,  and  of  every 
creature  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth : 

47  'To  make  a  difference  between'  the  unclean  and  the 
clean,  and  between  the  beast  that  may  be  eaten  and  the 
beast  that  may  not  be  eaten. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

TTte  purification  of  a  woman  after  childbirth. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto   the   children   of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  If  a 
"woman  have  conceived  seed,  and  borne  a  man  child,  then 
'she  shall  be  unclean  seven  days;  ''according  to   the    days 
of  the  separation  for  her  infirmity  shall  she  be  unclean. 

3  And  in  the  ''eighth  day  the  flesh  of  his  foreskin  shall  be 
circumcised. 

4  And  she  shall  then  continue  in  the  blood  of  her  purify- 
ing three  and  thirty  days;  she  shall  touch  no  hallowed 
thing,  nor  come  into  the  sanctuary,  until  "the  days  of  her 
purifying  be  fulfilled. 

5  But  if  she  bear  a  maid  child,  then  she  shall  be  unclean 
two  weeks,  as  in  her  separation :  and  she  shall  continue  in 
the  blood  of  her  purifying  threescore  and  six  days. 

6  And  "when  the  days  of  her  purifying  are  fulfilled,  for  a 
son,  or  for  a  daughter,  she  shall  bring  a  lamb  fof  the  first 
year  for  a  burnt  offering,  and  a  young  pigeon,  or  a  turtle- 
dove, for  a  sin  offering,  unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  unto  the  priest : 

7  Who  shall  offer  it  before  the  Lord,  and  make  an  atone- 
ment for  her  ;  and  she  shall  be  cleansed  from  the  issue  of 
her  blood.  This  is  the  law  for  her  that  hath  borne  a  male 
or  a  female. 

8  -'^And  if  fshe  be  not  able  to  bring  a  lamb,  then  she 
shall  bring  two  turtles,  or  two  young  pigeons ;  the  one 
for  the  burnt  offering,  and  the  other  for  a  sin  offering : 
"and  the  priest  shall  make  an  atonement  for  her,  and  she 
shall  be  clean. 


35  And  every  thing  whereupon  any  part  of  their  carcase 
lalleth  shall  be  unclean ;  whether  oven,  or  'range  for 
pots,  it  shall  be  broken  in  pieces :  they  are  unclean, 

36  and  shall  be  unclean  unto  you.  Nevertheless  a  fount- 
ain or  a  ^pit  wherein  is  a  gathering  of  water  shall  be 
clean :   but  Hhat  which  toucheth  their  carcase  shall 

37  be  unclean.  And  if  aught  of  their  carcase  fall  upon 
any  sowing  seed  which  is  to   be   sown,  it  is  clean. 

38  But  if  water  be  put  upon  the  seed,  and  aught  of 
their  carcase  fall  thereon,  it  is  unclean  unto  you. 

39  And  if  any  beast,  of  which  ye  may  eat,  die ;  he 
that  toucheth  the  carcase  thereof  shall  be  unclean 

40  until  the  even.  And  he  that  eateth  of  the  carcase 
of  it  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the 
even  :  he  also  that  beareth  the  carcase  of  it  shall 
wash  his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

41  And  every  creeping  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth   is   an    abomination ;  it    shall    not  be   eaten. 

42  Whatsoever  goeth  upon  the  belly,  and  whatsoever 
goeth  upon  all  four,  or  whatsoever  hath  many  feet, 
even  all  creeping  things  that  creep  upon  the  earth, 
them  ye  shall  not  eat ;  for  they  are  an  abomination. 

43  Ye  shall  not  make  yourselves  abominable  with  any 
creeping  thing  that  creepeth,  neither  shall  ye  make 
yourselves  unclean  with  them,  that  ye   should  be 

44  defiled  thereby.  For  I  am  the  Lord  your  God : 
sanctify  yourselves  therefore,  and  be  ye  holy  ;  for  I 
am  holy  :  neither  shall  ye  defile  yourselves  with  any 
manner   of  creeping  thing   that  moveth   upon  the 

45  earth.  For  I  am  the  Lord  that  brought  you  up  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  be  your  God :  ye  shall 
therefore  be  holy,  for  I  am  holy. 

46  This  is  the  law  of  the  beast,  and  of  the  fowl,  and 
of  every  living  creature  that  moveth  in  the  waters, 
and  of  every  creature  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth : 

47  to  make  a  difference  between  the  unclean  Ad  the 
clean,  and  between  the  living  thing  that  may  be 
eaten  and  the  living  thing  that  may  not  be  eaten. 

-t^     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  If  a 
woman  conceive  seed,  and  bear  a  man  child,  then 
she  shall  be  unclean  seven  days;  as  in  the  days  of 
the  ^impurity  of  her  sickness  shall  she  be   unclean 

3  And  in  the  eighth  day  the  flesh  of  his  foreskin  shall 

4  be  circumcised.  And  she  shall  continue  in  the 
blood  of  her  purifying  three  and  thirty  days ;  she 
shall  touch  no  hallowed  thing,  nor  come  into  the 
sanctuary,  until  the  days  of  her   purifying   be  ful- 

5  filled.  But  if  she  bear  a  maid  child,  then  she  shall 
be  unclean  two  weeks,  as  in  her  ^impurity  :  and  she 
shall  continue  in  the  blood  of  her  purifying  three 

6  score  and  six  days.  And  when  the  days  of  her 
purifying  are  fulfilled,  for  a  son,  or  for  a  daughter, 
she  shall  bring  a  lamb  of  the  first  year  for  a  burnt 
offering,  and  a  young  pigeon,  or  a  turtledove,  for  a 
sin  offering,  unto  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting, 

7  unto  the  priest :  and  he  shall  offer  it  before  the  Lord, 
and  make  atonement  for  her;  and  she  shall  be 
cleansed  from  the  fountain  of  her  blood.  This  is 
the  law  for  her  that  beareth,  whether  a  male  or  a 

8  female.  And  if  her  means  suffice  not  for  a  lamb, 
then  she  shall  take  two  turtledoves,  or  two  young 
pigeons ;  the  one  for  a  burnt  offering,  and  the  other 
for  a  sin  offering :  and  the  priest  shall  make  atone- 
ment for  her,  and  she  shall  be  clean.

CHAPTER    XIII. 

Laws  and  tokens  whereby  the  priest  is  to  be  guided  tn  discerning  leprosy, 

AND  the  LoKD  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  saying, 
2  When  a  man  shall  have  in  the  skin  of  his  flesh  a  1 1  rising, 
"a  scab,  or  bright  spot,  and  it  be  in  the  skin  of  his   flesh 
like  the  plague  of  leprosy ;  ""then  he   shall  be   brought  unto 
Aa'ron  the  priest,  or  unto  one  of  his  sons  the  priests  : 

3  And  the  priest  shall  look  on  the  plague  in  the  skin  of 
the  flesh :  and  ivhen  the  hair  in  the  plague  is  turned  white, 
and  the  plague  in  sight  be  deeper  than  the  skin  of  his  flesh, 
it  is  a  plague  of  leprosy  :  and  the  priest  shall  look  on  him, 
and  pronounce  him  unclean. 

4  If  the  bright  spot  be  white  in  the  skin  of  his  flesh,  and 
in  sight  be  not  deeper  than  the  skin,  and  the  hair  thereof  be 
not  turned  white;  then  the  priest  shall  shut  up  him  that 
hath  the  plague  seven  days  : 

5  And  the  priest  shall  look  on  him  the  seventh  day :  and, 
behold,  if  the  plague  in  his  sight  be  at  a  stay,  and  the  plague 
spread  not  in  the  skin ;  then  the  priest  shall  shut  him  up 
seven  days  more : 

G  And  the  priest  shall  look  on  him  again  the  seventh  day : 
and,  behold,  if  the  plague  be  somewhat  dark,  and  the  plague 
.spread  not  in  the  skin,  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
clean  :  it  is  but  a  scab :  and  he  "shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
be  clean. 

7  But  if  the  scab  spread  much  abroad  in  the  skin,  after 
that  he  hath  been  seen  of  the  priest  for  his  cleansing,  he 
shall  be  seen  of  the  priest  again : 

8  And  if  the  priest  see  that,  behold,  the  scab  spreadeth  in 
the  skin,  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean  :  it  is 
a  leprosy. 

9  ^When  the  plague  of  leprosy  is  in  a  man,  then  he  shall 
be  brought  unto  the  priest; 

10  ''And  the  priest  shall  see  him:  and,  behold,  if  the  rising 
be  white  in  the  skin,  and  it  have  turned  the  hair  white,  and 
there  be  fquick  raw  flesh  in  the  rising ; 

11  It  fe  an  old  leprosy  in  the  skin  of  his  flesh,  and  the 
priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean,  and  shall  not  shut  him 
up  :  for  he  is  unclean. 

12  And  if  a  leprosy  break  out  abroad  in  the  skin,  and  the 
leprosy  cover  all  the  skin  of  him  that  hath  the  plague  from 
his  head  even  to  his  foot,  wheresoever  the  priest  looketh ; 

13  Then  the  priest  shall  consider :  and,  behold,  if  the 
leprosy  have  covered  all  his  flesh,  he  shall  pronounce  him 
clean  that  hath  the  plague  :  it  is  all  turned  white :  he  is  clean. 

14  But  when  raw  flesh  appeareth  in  him,  he  shall  be 
unclean. 

15  And  the  priest  shall  see  the  raw  flesh,  and  pronounce 
him  to  be  unclean  :  /or  the  raw  flesh  is  unclean  :  it  is  a  leprosy. 

16  Or  if  the  raw  flesh  turn  again,  and  be  changed  into 
white,  he  shall  come  unto  the  priest ; 

17  And  the  priest  shall  see  him :  and,  behold,  if  the  plague 
be  turned  into  white;  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
clean  that  hath  the  plague:  he  is  clean. 

18  ^The  flesh  also,  in  which,  even  in  the  skin  thereof,  was 
a  '"boil,  and  is  healed, 

19  And  in  the  place  of  the  boil  there  be  a  white  rising,  or 
a  bright  spot,  white,  and  somewhat  reddish,  and  it  be  shewed 
to  the  priest ; 

20  And  if,  when  the  priest  seeth  it,  behold,  it  be  in  sight 
lower  than  the  skin,  and  the  hair  thereof  be  turned  white ; 
the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean :  it  is  a  plague  of 
leprosy  broken  out  of  the  boil. 

21  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it,  and,  behold,  there  be  no 
white  hairs  therein,  and  if  it  be  not  lower  than  the  skin,  but 
be  somewhat  dark ;  then  the  priest  shall  shut  him  up  seven 
days: 

22  And  if  it  spread  much  abroad  in  the  skin,  then  the 
priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean  :  it  is  a  plague. 


J-v     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 

2  saying.  When  a  man  shall  have  in  the  skin  of  his 
flesh  a  rising,  or  a  scab,  or  a  bright  spot,  and  it 
become  in  the  skin  of  his  flesh  the  plague  of  lep- 
rosy, then  he    shall   be  brought  unto   Aa'ron  the 

3  priest,  or  unto  one  of  his  sons  the  priests :  and 
the  priest  shall  look  on  the  plague  in  the  skin  of 
the  flesh :  and  if  the  hair  in  the  plague  be  turned 
white,  and  the  appearance  of  the  plague  be  deeper 
than  the  skin  of  his  flesh,  it  is  the  plague  of  leprosy : 
and  the   priest  shall    look  on    him,  and    pronounce 

4  him  unclean.  And  if  the  bright  spot  be  white  in 
the  skin  of  his  flesh,  and  the  appearance  thereof  be 
not  deeper  than  the  skin,  and  the  hair  thereof  be 
not  turned  white,  then  the  priest  shall  shut  up  him 

5 that  hath  the  plague  seven  days:  and  the  priest 
shall  look  on  him  the  seventh  day :  and,  behold,  if 
in  his  eyes  the  plague  be  at  a  stay,  and  the  plague 
be  not  spread  in  the  skin,  then  the  priest  shall  shut 

6  him  up  seven  days  more  :  and  the  priest  shall  look 
on  him  again  the  seventh  day  :  and,  behold,  if  the 
plague  be  dim,  and  the  plague  be  not  spread  in  the 
skin,  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  clean  :  it 
is  a    scab :    and  he  shall  wash   his  clothes,  and  be 

7  clean.  But  if  the  scab  spread  abroad  in  the  skin, 
after  that  he  hath  shewn  himself  to  the  priest  for  his 
cleansing,  he  shall  shew  himself  to  the  priest  again 

8  and  the  priest  shall  look,  and,  behold,  if  the  scab  be 
spread  in  the  skin,  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  unclean  :  it  is  leprosy. 

9  When  the  plague  of  leprosy  is' in  a  man,  then  he 
10 shall  be  brought   unto   the  priest;    and  the   priest 

shall  look,  ai^,  behold,  if  there  be  a  white  rising  in 
the    skin,  and  it  have  turned   the  hair  white,  and 

11  there  be  quick  raw  flesh  in  the  rising,  it  is  an  old 
leprosy  in  the  skin  of  his  flesh,  and  the  priest  shall 
pronounce  him  unclean :  he  shall  not  shut  him  up; 

12  for  he  is  unclean.  And  if  the  leprosy  break  out 
abroad  in  the  skin,  and  the  leprosy  cover  all  the 
skin  of  him  that  hath  the  plague  from  his  head  even 

13  to  his  feet,  as  far  as  appeareth  to  the  priest;  then 
the  priest  shall  look  :  and,  behold,  if  the  leprosy 
have  covered  all  his  flesh,  he  shall  pronounce  him 
clean  that  hath  the  plague :  it  is  all  turned  white : 

14  he  is  clean.     But  whensoever  raw  flesh  appeareth 

15  in  him,  he  shall  be  unclean.  And  the  priest  shall 
look  on  the  raw  flesh,  and  pronounce  him  unclean  : 

16 the  raw  flesh  is  unclean:  it  is  leprosy.  Or  if  the 
raw   flesh   turn   again,  and  be  changed  unto  white, 

17  then  he  shall  come  unto  the  priest,  and  the  priest 
shall  look  on  him  :  and  behold,  if  the  plague  be 
turned  into  Avhite,  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  clean  that  hath  the  plague  :  he  is  clean. 

18  And  when  the  flesh  hath  in  the  skin   thereof  a 

19  boil,  and  it  is  healed,  and  in  the  place  of  the  boil 
there  is  a  white   rising,  or  a  bright  spot,  reddish- 

20  white,  then  it  shall  be  shewed  to  the  priest ;  and 
the  priest  shall  look,  and,  behold,  if  the  appear- 
ance thereof  be  lower  than  the  skin,  and  the  hair 
thereof  be  turned  white,  then  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce him    unclean  :    it   is  the  plague  of  lepro.sy, 

21  it  hath  broken  out  in  the  boil.  But  if  the  priest 
look  on  it,  and,  behold,  there  be  no  white  hairs 
therein,  and  it  be  not  lower  than  the  skin,  but 
be   dim,  then  the  priest  shall  shut   him  up  seven 

22 days:  and  if  it  spread  abroad  in  the  skin,  then  the 
priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean  :  it  is  a  plague.

him  clean. 

24  ^Or  if  there  be  any  flesh,  in  the  skin  whereof  there  is 
fa  hot  burning,  and  the  quick  flesh  that  burneth  have  a 
white  bright  spot,  somewhat  reddish,  or  white; 

25  Then  the  priest  shall  look  upon  it :  and,  behold,  if  the 
hair  in  the  bright  spot  be  turned  white,  and  it  be  in  sight 
deeper  than  the  skin;  it  is  a  leprosy  broken  out  of  the 
burning :  wherefore  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean  : 
it  is  the  plague  of  leprosy. 

26  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it,  and,  behold,  there  be  no 
white  hair  in  the  bright  spot,  and  it  be  no  lower  than  the

and  if  it  be  spread  much  abroad  in  the  skin,  then  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  him  unclean  :  it  is  the  plague  of  leprosy. 

28  And  if  the  bright  spot  stay  in  his  place,  and  spread  not 
in  the  skin,  but  it  be  somewhat  dark;  it  is  a  rising  of  the 
burning,  and  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  clean  :•  for  it  is 
an  inflammation  of  the  burning. 

29  ^If  a  man  or  woman  have  a  plague  upon  the  head  or 
the  beard; 

30  Then  the  priest  shall  see  the  plague :  and,  behold,  if  it 
be  in  sight  deeper  than  the  skin,  and  there  be  in  it  a  yellow 
thin  hair;  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean:  iti« 
a  dry  scall,  even  a  leprosy  upon  the  head  or  beard. 

31  And  if  the  priest  look  on  the  plague  of  the  scall,  and, 
behold,  it  be  not  in  sight  deeper  than  the  skin,  and  that  there 
is  no  black  hair  in  it ;  then  the  priest  shall  shut  up  him  that 
hath  the  plague  of  the  scall  seven  days  : 

32  And  in  the  seventh  day  the  priest  shall  look  on  the 
plague :  and,  behold,  if  the  scall  spread  not,  and  there  be  in 
it  no  yellow  hair,  and  the  scall  be  not  in  sight  deeper  than 
the  skin; 

33  He  shall  be  shaven,  but  the  scall  shall  he  not  shave ; 
and  the  priest  shall  shut  up  him  that  hath  the  scall  seven 
days  more : 

34  And  in  the  seventh  day  the  priest  shall  look  on  the  scall : 
and,  behold,  t/"  the  scall  be  not  spread  in  the  skin,  nor  be  in 
sight  deeper  than  the  skin ;  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  clean :  and  he  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  he  clean. 

35  But  if  the  scall  spread  much  in  the  skin  after  his 
cleansing ; 

36  Then  the  priest  shall  look  on  him ;  and,  behold,  if  the 
scall  be  spread  in  the  skin,  the  priest  shall  not  seek  for 
yellow  hair;  he  is  unclean. 

37  But  if  the  scall  be  in  his  sight  at  a  stay,  and  that  there 
is  black  hair  grown  up  therein ;  the  scall  is  healed,  he  is 
clean :  and  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  clean. 

38  ^If  a  man  also  or  a  woman  have  in  the  skin  of  their 
flesh  bright  spots,  even  white  bright  spots; 

39  Then  the  priest  shall  look :  and,  behold,  if  the  bright 
spots  in  the  skin  of  their  flesh  be  darkish  white,  it  is  a 
freckled  spot  that  groweth  in  the  skin :  he  is  clean. 

40  And  the  man  whose  fhair  is  fallen  oif  his  head,  he  is 
bald ;  yet  is  he  clean. 

41  And  he  that  hath  his  hair  fellen  off  from  the  part  of  his 
head  toward  his  face,  he  is  forehead  bald ;  yet  is  he  clean. 

42  And  if  there  be  in  the  bald  head,  or  bald  forehead,  a 
white  reddish  sore;  it  is  a  leprosy  sprung  up  in  his  bald 
head,  or  his  bald  forehead. 

43  Then  the  priest  shall  look  upon  it :  and,  behold,  if  the 
rising  of  the  sore  be  white  reddish  in  his  bald  head,  or  in 
his  bald  forehead,  as  the  leprosy  appeareth  in  the  skin  of 
the  flesh ; 

44  He  is  a  leprous  man,  he  is  unclean :  the  priest  shall 
pronounce  him  utterly  unclean ;  his  plague  is  in  his  head. 


23  But  if  the  bright  spot  stay  in  its  place,  and  be  not 
spread,  it  is  the  scar  of  the  boil;  and  the  priest 
shall  pronounce  him  clean. 

24  Or  when  the  flesh  hath  in  the  skin  thereof  a 
burning  by  fire,  and  the  qaick  flesh  of  the  burning 

25  become  a  bright  spot,  reddish -white,  or  white;  then 
the  priest  shall  look  upon  it :  and,  behold,  if  the 
hair  in  the  bright  spot  be  turned  white,  and  the  ap- 
pearance thereof  be  deeper  than  the  skin ;  it  is  lep- 
rosy, it  hath  broken  out  in  the  burning:  and  the 
priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean :  it  is  the  plague 

26  of  leprosy.  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it,  and,  behold, 
there  be  no  white  hair  in  the  bright  spot,  and  it  be 
no  lower  than  the  skin,  but  be  dim ;  then  the  priest 

27  shall  shut  him  up  seven  days :  and  the  priest  shall 
look  upon  him  the  seventh  day :  if  it  spread  abroad 
in    the  skin,   then  the  priest   shall   pronounce  him 

28  unclean :  it  is  the  plague  of  leprosy.  And  if  the 
bright  spot  stay  in  its  place,  and  be  not  spread  in 
the  skin,  but  be  dim ;  it  is  the  rising  of  the  burning, 
and  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  clean :  for  it  is 
the  scar  of  the  burning. 

29  And  when  a  man  or  woman  hath  a  plague  upon 

30  the  head  or  upon  the  beard,  then  the  priest  shall 
look  on  the  plague :  and,  behold,  if  the  appearance 
thereof  be  deeper  than  the  skin,  and  there  be  in  it 
yellow  thin  hair,  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  unclean :  it  is  a  scall,  it  is  leprosy  oi  the  head 

31  or  of  the  beard.  And  if  the  priest  look  on  the 
plague  of  the  scall,  and,  behold,  the  appearance 
thereof  be  not  deeper  than  the  skin,  and  there  be  no 
black   hair   in  it,  then  the  priest  shall  shut  up  him 

32  that  hath  the  plague  of  the  scall  seven  days :  and  in 
the  seventh  day  the  priest  shall  look  on  the  plague : 
and,  behold,  if  the  scall  be  not  spread,  and  there  be 
in  it  no  yellow  hair,  and  the  appearance  of  the  scall 

33  be  not  deeper  than  the  skin,  then  he  shall  be  shaven, 
but  the  scall  shall  he  not  shave;  and  the  priest  shall 
shut  up  him  that  hath  the   scall   seven  days  more: 

34  and  in  the  seventh  day  the  priest  shall  look  on  the 
scall :  and,  behold,  if  the  scall  be  not  spread  in  the 
skin,  and  the  appeararjpe  thereof  be  not  deeper  than 
the  skin;  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  clean: 

35  and  he  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be  clean.  But  if 
the  scall  spread  abroad  in  the  skin  after  his  cleansing ; 

36  then  the  priest  shall  look  on  him:  and,  behold,  if 
the  scall  be  spread  in  the  skin,  the  priest  shall  not 

37  seek  for  the  yellow  hair ;  he  is  unclean.  But  if  in 
his  eyes  the  scall  be  at  a  stay,  and  black  hair  be 
grown  up  therein  ;  the  scall  is  healed,  he  is  clean : 
and  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  clean. 

38  And  when  a  man  or  a  woman  hath  in  the  skin 
of  their  flesh  bright  spots,  even  white  bright  spots ; 

39  then  the  priest  shall  look :  and,  behold,  if  the  bright 
spots  in  the  skin  of  their  flesh  be  of  a  dull  white ;  it 
is  a  tetter,  it  hath  broken  out  in  the  skin ;  he  is  clean. 

40  And  if  a  man's  hair  be  fallen  off  his  head,  he  is 

41  bald;  yet  is  he  clean.  And  if  his  hair  be  fallen  off 
from  the  front  part  of  his  head,  he  is  forehead  bald  ; 

42  yet  is  he  clean.  But  if  there  be  in  the  bald  head, 
or  the  bald  forehead,  a  reddish-white  plague;  it  is 
leprosy  breaking  out  in  his  bald  head,  or   his  bald 

43 forehead.  Then  the  priest  shall  look  upon  him: 
and,  behold,  if  the  rising  of  the  plaghe  be  reddish- 
white  in  his  bald  head,  or  in  his  bald  forehead,  as 
the  appearance  of  leprosy  in  the  skin  of  the  flesh ; 

44  he  is  a  leprous  man,  he  is  unclean :  the  priest  shall 
surely  pronounce  him  unclean;  his  plague  is  in  his 
head.

ment, or  in  the  skin,  either  in  the  warp,  or  in  the  woof,  or 
in  any  fthing  of  skin ;  it  is  a  plague  of  leprosy,  and  shall  be 
shewed  unto  the  priest: 

50  And  the  priest  shall  look  upon  the  plague,  and  shut  up 
it  that  hath  the  plague  seven  days : 

51  And  he  shall  look  on  the  plague  on  the  seventh  day : 
if  the  plague  be  spread  in  the  garment,  either  in  the  warp, 
or  in  the  woof,  or  in  a  skin,  07-  in  any  work  that  is  made  of 
skin;  the  plague  is  "a  fretting  leprosy;  it  is  unclean. 

52  He  shall  therefore  burn  that  garment,  whether  warp  or

the  plague  is :  for  it  ts  a  fretting  leprosy ;  it  shall  be  burnt

or  in  any  thing  of  skin ; 

54  Then  the  priest  shall  command  that  they  wash  the  thing 
wherein  the  plague  is,  and  he  shall  shut  it  up  seven  days 
more : 

55  And  the  priest  shall  look  on  the  plague,  after  that  it  is 
washed:  and,  behold,  if  the  plague  have  not  changed  his 
colour,  and  the  plague  be  not  spread,  it  is  unclean ;  thou 
shalt  burn  it  in  the  fire ;  it  is  fret  inward,  ^whether  it  be  bare

57  And  if  it  appear  still  in  the'  garment,  either  in  the

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  This  shall  be  the  law  of  the  leper  in  the  day  of  his 
cleansing :  He  "shall  be  brought  unto  the  priest :

priest  shall  look,  and,  behold,  if  the  plague  of  leprosy  be 
healed  in  the  leper; 

4  Then  shall  the  priest  command  to  take  for  him  that  is  to 
be  cleansed  two  ||  birds  alive  and  clean,  and  'cedar  wood,  and

5  And  the  priest  shall  command  that  one  of  the  birds  be 
killed  in  an  earthen  vessel  over  running  water. 

6  As  for  the  living  bird,  he  shall  take  it,  and  the  cedar 
wood,  and  the  scarlet,  and  the  hyssop,  and  shall  dip  them 
and  the  living  bird  in  the  blood  of  the  bird  that  was  killed 
over  the  running  water: 

7  And  he  shall  'sprinkle  upon  him  that  is  to  be  cleansed 


45  And  the  leper  in  whom  the  plague  is,  his  clothes 
shall  be  rent,  and  'the  hair  of  his  head  shall  go 
loose,  and  he  shall  cover  his  upper  lip,  and  shall  cry, 

46  Unclean,  unclean.  All  the  days  wherein  the  plague 
is  in  him  he  shall  be  unclean ;  he  is  unclean  :  he 
shall  dwell  alone ;  without  the  camp  shall  his  dwelL 
ing  be. 

47  The  garment  also  that  the  plague  of  leprosy  is  in, 
whether  it  be  a  woollen  garment,  or  a  linen  garment 

48  whether  it  be  in  ^warp,  or  woof;  of  linen,  or  of 
woollen ;  whether  in  a  skin,  or  in  any  thing  made 

49  of  skin ;  if  the  plague  be  greenish  or  reddish  in  the 
garment,  or  in  the  skin,  or  in  the  warp,  or  in  the 
woof,  or  in  any  thing  of  skin ;  it  is  the  plague  of 

50 leprosy,  and  shall  be  shewed  unto  the  priest:  and 
the  jjriest  shall  look  upon  the  plague,  and  shut  up 

51  that  which  hath  the  plague  seven  days :  and  he  shall 
look  on  the  plague  on  the  seventh  day :  if  the  plague 
be  spread  in  the  garment,  either  in  the  warp,  or  in 
the  woof,  or  in  the  skin,  whatever  service  skin  is 
used  for ;  the  plague  is  a  fretting  leprosy ;  it  is  un 

52  clean.  And  he  shall  burn  the  garment,  whether  the 
warp  or  the  woof,  in  woollen  or  in  linen,  or  any 
thing  of  skin,  wherein   the    plague   is :    for  it  is  a 

53 fretting  leprosy;  it  shall  be  burnt  in  the  fire.  And 
if  the  priest  shall  look,  and,  behold,  the  plague  be 
not  spread  in  the  garment,  either  in  the  warp,  or  in 

54  the  woof,  or  in  any  thing  of  skin  ;  then  the  priest 
shall  command  that  they  wash  the  thing  wherein 
the  plague  is,  and   he  shall  shut  it  up  seven  days 

55  more :  and  the  priest  shall  look,  after  that  the  plague 
is  washed :  and,  behold,  if  the  plague  have  not 
changed  its  colour,  and  the  plague  be  not  spread,  it 
is  unclean  ;  thou  shalt  burn  it  in  the  fire :  it  is  a  fret, 

56 'whether  the  barrenness  be  within  or  without.  And 
if  the  priest  look,  and,  behold,  the  plague  be  dim 
after  the  washing  thereof,  then  he  shall  rend  it  out 
of  the  garment,  or  out  of  the  skin,  or  out  of  the 

57  warp,  or  out  of  the  woof:  and  if  it  appear  still  in  the 
garment,  either  in  the  warp,  or  in  the  woof,  or  in 
any  thing  of  skin,  it  is  breaking  out :  thou  shalt  burn 

58  that  wherein  the  plague  is  with  fire.  And  the 
garment,  either  the  warp,  or  the  woof,  or  whatsoever 
thing  of  skin  it  be,  which  thou  shalt  wash,  if  the 
plague  be  departed  from  them,  then  it  shall  be  washed 

59  the  second  time,  and  shall  be  clean.  This  is  the  law 
of  the  plague  of  leprosy  in  a  garment  of  woollen  or 
linen,  either  in  the  warp,  or  the  woof,  or  any  thing 
of  skin,  to  pronounce  it  clean,  or  to  pronounce  it 
unclean. 

+^  2  -A^nd  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  This 
shall   be   the    law  of   the  leper  in  the  day  of  his 

3 cleansing:  he  shall  be  brought  unto  the  priest:  and 
the  priest  shall  go  forth  out  of  the  camp;  and  the 
priest  shall  look,  and,  behold,  if  the  plague  of  leprosy 

4 be  healed  in  the  leper;  then  shall  the  priest  com- 
mand to  take  for  him  that  is  to  be  cleansed  two 
living  clean  birds,  and  cedar  wood,  and  scarlet,  and 

5 hyssop:  and  the  priest  shall  command  to  kill  one 
of  the  birds  in  an  earthen  vessel  over  ^running  wa- 

6  ter :  as  for  the  living  bird,  he  shall  take  it,  and  the 
cedar  wood,  and  the  scarlet,  and  the  hyssop,  and 
shall  dip  them  and  the  living  bird  in  the  blood  of 
the  bird  that  Avas  killed  over  the  ^running  water: 

7  and  he  shall  sprinkle  upon  him  that  is  to  be  cleansed

whose  hand  is  not  able  to  get  Hhat  which  pertaineth  to  his 
cleansing. 

33  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 
saying, 

34  "When  ye  be  come  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  which  I 
give  to  you  for  a  possession,  and  I  put  the  plague  of  leprosy 
in  a  house  of  the  land  of  your  possession  ; 

35  And  he  that  owneth  the  house  shall  come  and  tell  the 
priest,  saying.  It  seemeth  to  me  there  is  as  it  were  ''&  plague 
in  the  house : 

36  Then  the  priest  shall  command  that  they  |1  empty  the 
house,  before  the  priest  go  into  it  to  see  the  plague,  that  all 
that  is  in  the  house  be  not  made  unclean:  and  afterward 
the  priest  shall  go  in  to  see  the  house: 

37  And  he  shall  look  on  the  plague,  and,  behold,  if  the 
plague  be  in  the  walls  of  the  house  with  hollow  streaks, 
greenish  or  reddish,  which  in  sight  are  lower  than  the  wall ; 

38  Then  the  priest  shall  go  out  of  the  house  to  the  door 
of  the  house,  and  shut  up  the  house  seven  days : 

39  And  the  priest  shall  come  again  the  seventh  day,  and 
shall  look ;  and,  behold,  if  the  plague  be  spread  in  the  walls 
of  the  house ; 

40  Then  the  priest  shall  command  that  they  take  away 
the  stones  in  which  the  plague  is,  and  they  shall  cast  them 
into  an  unclean  place  without  the  city : 

41  And  he  shall  cause  the  house  to  be  scraped  within  round 
about,  and  they  shall  pour  out  the  dust  that  they  scrape  off 
without  the  city  into  an  unclean  place : 

42  And  they  shall  take  other  stones,  and  put  them  in  the 
place  of  those  stones;  and  he  shall  take  other  mortar,  and 
shall  plaster  the  house. 

43  And  if  the  plague  come  again,  and  break  out  in  the 
hopse,  after  that  he  hath  taken  away  the  stones,  and  after 
he  hath  scraped  the  house,  and  after  it  is  plastered ; 

44  Then  the  priest  shall  come  and  look,  and,  behold,  if 
the  plague  be  spread  in  the  house,  it  is  'a.  fretting  leprosy  in 
the  house  :  it  is  unclean. 

45  And  he  shall  break  down  the  house,  the  stones  of  it, 
and  the  timber  thereof,  and  all  the  mortar  of  the  house; 
and  he  shall  carry  them  forth  out  of  the  city  into  an  unclean 
place. 

46  Moreover,  he  that  goeth  into  the  house  all  the  while 
that  it  is  shut  up  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

47  And  he  that  lieth  in  the  house  shall  wash  his  clothes; 
and  he  that  eateth  in  the  house  shall  wash  his  clothes. 

48  And  if  the  priest  fishall  come  in,  and  look  iipon  it, 
and,  behold,  the  plague  hath  not  spread  in  the  house,  after 
the  house  was  plastered;  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
the  house  clean,  because  the  plague  is  healed. 


26  and  the  priest  shall  pour  of  the  oil  into  the  palm 

27  of  his  own  left  hand :  and  the  priest  shall  sprinkle 
with  his   right    finger    some   of  the    oil  that  is  in 

28 his  left  hand  seven  times  before  the  Lord:  and

cleansed,  and  upon  the  thumb  of  his  right  hand,

29  place  of  the  blood  of  the  guilt  offering :  and  the 
rest  of  the  oil  that  is  in  the  priest's  hand  he  shall 
put  upon  the  head  of  him  that  is  to  be  cleansed,  to 

30  make  atonement  for  him  before  the  Lord.  And  he 
shall  offer  one  of  the  turtledoves,  or  of  the  young 

31  pigeons,  such  as  he  is  able  to  get ;  even  such  as  he  is 
able  to  get,  the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and  the  other  for 
a  burnt  offering,  with  the  meal  offering:  and  the 
priest  shall  make  atonement  for  him  that  is  to  be 

32  cleansed  before  the  Lord.  This  is  the  law  of  him 
in  whom  is  the  plague  of  leprosy,  who  is  not  able  to 
get  that  which  pertaineth  to  his  cleansing. 

33  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 

34  saying.  When  ye  be  come  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
which  I  give  to  you  for  a  possession,  and  I  put  the 
plague  of  leprosy  in  a  house  of  the  land  of  your  pos- 

35  session ;  then  he  that  owneth  the  house  shall  come 
'  and  tell  the  priest,  saying,  There  seemeth  to  me  to 

36  be  as  it  were  a  plague  in  the  house :  and  the  priest 
shall  command  that  they  empty  the  house,  before 
the  priest  go  in  to  see  the  plague,  that  all  that  is  in 
the  house  be  not  made  unclean :   and  afterward  the 

37 priest  shall  go  in  to  see  the  house:  and  he  shall 
look  on  the  plague,  and,  behold,  if  the  plague  be  in 
the  walls  of  the  house  with  hollow  strakes,  greenish 
or  reddish,  and  the  appearance  thereof  be  lower  than 

38  the  wall ;  then  the  priest  shall  go  out  of  the  house 
to  the  door  of  the   house,  and  shut  up  the  hcuse 

39 seven  days:  and  the  priest  shall  come  again  the 
seventh  day,  and  shall   look :  and,   behold,   if  the 

40 plague  be  spread  in  the  walls  of  the  house;  then 
the  priest  shall  command  that  they  take  out  the 
stones  in  which   the  plague   is,  and  cast  them  into 

41  an  unclean  place  without  the  city :  and  he  shall 
cause  the  house  to  be  scraped  within  round  about, 
and  they  shall  pour  out  the  mortar  that  they  scrape 

42  off  without  the  city  into  an  unclean  place:  and  they 
shall  take  other  stones,  and  put  them  in  the  place  of 
those  stones ;  and  he  shall  take  other   raortar,  and 

43  shall  plai.ster  the  house.  And  if  the  plague  come 
again,  and  break  out  in  the  house,  after  that  he  hath 
taken  out  the  stones,  and  after  he  hatb.  scraped  the 

44  house,  and  after  it  is  plaistered;  then  the  priest 
shall  come  in  and  look,  and,  behold,  if  the  plague 
be  spread  in  the  house,  it  is  a  fretting  leprosy  in  the 

45  house :  it  is  unclean.  And  he  shall  break  down  the 
house,  the  stones  of  it,  and  the  timber  thereof,  and 
all  the  mortar  of  the  house ;  and  he  shall  carry  them 

46  forth  out  of  the  city  into  an  unclean  place.  More- 
over he  that  goeth  into  the  house  all  the  while  that 

47  it  is  shut  up  shall  be  uncleah  until  the  even.  And  he 
that  lieth  in  the  house  shall  wash  his  clothes;  and 
he  that  eateth  in  the  house  shall  wa.sh  his  clothes. 

48  And  if  the  priest  shall  come  in,  and  look,  and,  be- 
hold, the  plague  hath  not  spread  in  the  house,  after 
the  house  was  plaistered;  then  the  priest  shall  pro- 
nounce the  house  clean,  because  the  plague  is  healed.

50  And  he  shall  kill  the  one  of  the  birds  in  an  earthen 
vessel  over  running  water :

the  open  fields,  and  "make  an  atonement  for  the  house :  and 
it  shall  be  clean. 

54  This  is  the  law  for  all  manner  of  plague  of  leprosy, 
and  *scall, 

55  And  for  the  'leprosy  of  a  garment,  *and  of  a  house,

57  To  "teach  fwhen  it  is  unclean,  and  when  it  is  clean : 
this  is  the  law  of  leprosy. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

Uncleanness  of  men  in  their  issues — Uncleanness  of  women  in  their  issues. 

AND  the  LoKD  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  to  Aa'ron,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
"When  any  man  hath  a  |1  running  issue  out  of  his  flesh, 
because  of  his  issue  he  is  unclean. 

3  And  this  shall  be  his  uncleanness  in  his  issue  :  whether 
his  flesh  run  with  his  issue,  or  his  flesh  be  stopped  from  his 
issue,  it  is  his  uncleanness. 

4  Every  bed,  whereon  he  lieth  that  hath  the  issue,  is  un- 
clean :  and  every  f thing,  whereon  he  sitteth,  shall  be  un- 
clean. 

5  And  whosoever  touch eth  his  bed  shall  wash  his  clothes, 
'and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

6  And  he  that  sitteth  on  any  thing  whereon  he  sat  that 
hath  the  issue  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in 
water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

7  And  he  that  toucheth  the  flesh  of  him  that  hath  the 
issue  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water, 
and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

i  And  if  he  that  hath  the  issue  spit  upon  him  that  is 
clean ;  then  he  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in 
water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

9  And  what  saddle  soever  he  rideth  upon  that  hath  the 
issue,  shall  be  unclean. 

10  And  whosoever  toucheth  any  thing  that  was  under 
him  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even :  and  he  that  beareth 
any  of  those  things,  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  him- 
self in  water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

11  And  whomsoever  he  toucheth  that  hath  the  issue,  and 
hath  not  rinsed  his  hands  in  water,  he  shall  wash  his  clothes, 
and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

12  And  the  "vessel  of  earth,  that  he  toucheth  which  hath 
the  issue,  shall  be  broken :  and  every  vesssel  of  wood  shall 
be  rinsed  in  water. 

13  And  when  he  that  hath  an  issue  is  cleansed  of  his 
issue,  then  ''he  shall  number  to  himself  seven  days  for  his 
cleansing,  and  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  his  flesh  in  run- 
ning water,  and  shall  be  clean. 

14  And  on  the  eighth  day  he  shall  take  to  him  "two 
turtledoves,  or  two  young  pigeons,  and  come  before  the 
Lord  unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
and  give  them  unto  the  priest : 

15  And  the  priest  shall  oifer  them,  -^the  one  for  a  .sin 
offering,  and  the  other /or  a  burnt  offering ;  "and  the  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  for  him  before  the  Lord  for  his 
issue. 

1   16  And  *if  any  man's  seed  of  copulation   go   out    from 


49  And  he  shall  take  to  cleanse  the  house  two  birds, 

50  and  cedar  wood,  and  scarlet,  and  hyssop  :  and  he 
shall  kill  one  of  the  birds  in  an  earthen  vessel  over 

51  'running  water :  and  he  shall  take  the  cedar  wood, 
and  the  hyssop,  and  the  scarlet,  and  the  living  bird, 
and  dip  them  in  the  blood  of  the  slain  bird,  and  in 
the  'running  water,  and  sprinkle  the   house    seven 

52  times  :  and  he  shall  cleanse  the  house  with  the  blood 
of  the  bird,  and  with  the  'running  water,  and  with 
the  living  bird,  and  with  the  cedar  wood,  and  with 

53  the  hyssop,  and  with  the  scarlet :  but  he  shall  let 
go  the  living  bird  out  of  the  city  into  the  open  field 
so  shall  he  make  atonement  for  the  house  :  and  it 
shall  be  clean. 

54  This  is  the  law  for  all  manner  of  plague  of  lep- 

55  rosy,  and  for  a  scall ;  and  for  the  leprosy  of  a  gar- 

56  ment,  and  for  a  house ;  and  for  a  rising,  and  for  a 

57  scab,  and  for  a  bright  spot :  to  teach  when  it  is  un 
clean,  and  when  it  is  clean :  this  is  the  law  of  lep 
rosy. 

-Iv     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  to  Aa'ron, 

2  saying.  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say 
unto  them.  When  any  man  hath  an  issue  out  of  his 

3  flesh,  because  of  his  issue  he  is  unclean.  And  this 
shall  be  his  uncleanness  in  his  issue":  whether  his 
flesh  run  with  his  issue,  or  his  flesh  be  stopped  from 

4  his  issue,  it  is  his  uncleanness.  Every  bed  whereon 
he  that  hath  the  issue  lieth  shall  be  unclean :  and 
every  thing  whereon  he   sitteth   shall  be   unclean. 

5  And  whosoever  toucheth  his  bed  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  unclean 

6  until  the  even.  And  he  that  sitteth  on  any  thing 
whereon  he  that  hath  the  issue  sat  shall  wash  his, 
clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  unclean 

7  until  the  even.  And  he  that  toucheth  the  flesh  of 
him  that  hath  the  issue  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be   unclean  until  the 

8  even.  And  if  he  that  hath  the  issue  spit  upon  him 
that  is  clean;  then  he  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe    himself  in    water,  and  be  unclean  until  the 

9  even.      And  what  ^saddle  soever  he  that  hath  the 

10  issue  rideth  upon  shall  be  unclean.  And  whosoever 
toucheth  any  thing  that  was  under  him  shall  be  un- 
clean until  the  even  :  and  he  that  beareth  those 
things  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in 

11  water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even.  And  whom- 
soever he  that  hath  the  issue  toucheth,  without  hav- 
ing rinsed  his  hands  in  water,  he  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  unclean 

12  until  the  even.  And  the  earthen  vessel,  which  he 
that  hath  the  issue  toucheth,  shall  be  broken  :  and 

13  every  vessel  of  wood  shall  be  rinsed  in  water.  And 
when  he  that  hath  an  issue  is  cleansed  of  his  issue, 
then  he  shall  number  to  himself  seven  days  for  his 
cleansing,  and  wash  his  clothes  ;  and  he  shall  bathe 

14  his  flesh  in  'running  water,  and  shall  be  clean.  And 
on  the  eighth  day  he  shall  take  to  him  two  turtle- 
doves, or  two  young  pigeons,  and  come  before  the 
Lord  unto  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  give 

15  them  unto  the  priest :  and  the  priest  shall  offer  them, 
the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and  the  other  for  a  burnt 
offering  ;  and  the  priest  shall  make  atonement  for 
him  before  the  Lord  for  his  issue.

until  the  even. 

17  And  every  garment,  and  every  skin,  whereon  is  the 
seed  of  copulation,  shall  be  washed  with  water,  and  be  un- 
clean until  the  even. 

18  The  woman  also  with  whom  man  shall  lie  with  seed 
of  copulation,  they  shall  both  bathe  themselves  in  water,  and 
'be  unclean  until  the  even. 

19  ^And  *if  a  woman  have  an  issue,  and  her  issue  in  her 
flesh  be  blood,  she  shall  be  fput  apart  seven  days :  and 
whosoever  toucheth  her  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

20  And  every  thing  that  she  lieth  upon  in  her  separation 
shall  be  unclean  :  every  thing  also  that  she  sitteth  upon 
shall  be  unclean. 

21  And  whosoever  toucheth  her  bed  shall  wash  his  clothes, 
and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

22  And  whosoever  toucheth  any  thing  that  she  sat  upon 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

23  And  if  it  be  on  her  bed,  or  on  any  thing  whereon  she 
sitteth,  when  he  toucheth  it,  he  shall  be  unclean  until  the 
even. 

24  And  'if  any  man  lie  with  her  at  all,  and  her  flowers  be 
upon  him,  he  shall  be  unclean  seven  days ;  and  all  the  bed 
whereon  he  lieth  shall  be  unclean. 

25  And  if  ""a  woman  have  an  issue  of  her  blood  many 
days  out  jf  the  time  of  her  separation,  or  if  it  run  beyond 
the  time  of  her  separation ;  all  the  days  of  the  issue  of  her 
uncleanness  shall  be  as  the  days  of  her  separation :  she  shall 
be  unclean. 

26  Every  bed  whereon  she  lieth  all  the  days  of  her  issue 
shall  be  unto  her  as  the  bed  of  her  separation :  and  what- 
soever she  sitteth  upon  shall  be  unclean,  as  the  uncleanness 
of  her  separation. 

27  And  whosoever  toucheth  those  things  shall  be  unclean, 
and  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and 
be  unclean  until  the  even. 

28  But  "if  she  be  cleansed  of  her  issue,  then  she  shall  num- 
ber to  herself  seven  days,  and  after  that  she  shall  be  clean. 

29  And  on  the  eighth  day  she  shall  take  unto  her  two 
turtles,  or  two  young  pigeons,  and  bring  them  unto  the 
priest,  to  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

30  And  the  priest  shall  offer  the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and 
the  other  for  a  burnt  offering ;  and  the  priest  shall  make  an 
atonement  for  her  before  the  Lord  for  the  issue  of  her  un- 
cleanness. 

31  Thus  shall  ye  "separate  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from 
their  uncleanness ;  that  they  die  not  in  their  uncleanness, 
when  they  'defile  my  tabernacle  that  is  among  them. 

32  'This  is  the  law  of  him  that  hath  an  issue,  ""and  of  him 
whose  seed  goeth  from  him,  and  is  defiled  therewith ; 

33  'And  of  her  sick  that  is  sick  of  her  flowers,  and  of  him

CHARTER    XVI. 

Ifow  ike  high  priest  must  enter  into  the  holy  place — The  scapegoat. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  after  "the  death  of  the 
two  sons  of  Aa'ron,  when  they  offered  before  the  Lord, 
and  died  ; 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Speak  unto  Aa'ron 
thy  brother,  that  he  ''come  not  at  all  times  into  the  holy 
place  within  the  veil  before  the  mercy  seat,  which  is  upon 
the  ark ;  that  he  die  not :  for  "I  will  appear  in  the  cloud 
upon  the  mercy  seat. 

3  Thus  shall  Aa'ron  ''come  into  the  holy  place;  'with  a  young 
bullock  for  a  sin  offering,  and  a  ram  for  a  burnt  offering. 

4  He  shall  put  on  •'the  holy  linen  coat,  and  he  shall  have 
the  linen  breeches  upon  his  flesh,  and  shall  be  girded  with 


him,  then  he  shall  bathe  all  his  flesh  in  water,  and 

17  be  unclean  until  the  even.  And  every  garment, 
and  every  skin,  whereon  is  the  seed  of  copulation, 
shall  be  washed  with  water,  and  be   unclean  until 

18  the  even.  The  woman  also  with  whom  a  man  shall 
lie  with  seed  of  copulation,  they  shall  both  bathe 
themselves  in  water,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even 

19  And  if  a  woman  have  an  issue,  and  her  issue  in 
her  flesh  be  blood,  she  shall  be  in  her  'impurity 
seven  days :    and  whosoever  toucheth   her  shall   be 

20  unclean  until  the  even.  And  every  thing  that  she 
lieth  upon  in  her  'impurity  shall  be  unclean:  every 
thing  also  that  she  sitteth  upon   shall  be   unclean. 

21  And  whosoever  toucheth  her  bed  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  unclean 

22 until  the  even.  And  whosoever  toucheth  any  thing 
that  she  sitteth  upon  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe   himself  in   water,  and    be  unclean  until   the 

23  even.  And  if  it  be  on  the  bed,  or  on  any  thing 
whereon  she  sitteth,  when   he   toucheth  it,  he  shall 

24  be  unclean  until  the  even.  And  if  any  man  lie  with 
her,  and  her  impurity  be  upon  him,  he  shall  be  un- 
clean seven  days;  and  every  bed  whereon  he  lieth 
shall  be  unclean. 

25  And  if  a  woman  have  an  issue  of  her  blood  many 
days  not  in  the  time  of  her  impurity,  or  if  she  have 
an  issue  beyond  the  time  of  her  impurity ;  all  the 
days  of  the  issue  of  her  uncleanness  she  shall  be  as 

26  in  the  days  of  her  impurity :  she  is  unclean.  Every 
bed  whereon  she  lieth  all  the  days  of  her  issue  shall 
be  unto  her  as  the  bed  of  her  impurity :  and  every 
thing  whereon  she  sitteth  shall  be  unclean,  as  the 

27  uncleanness  of  her  impurity.  And  whosoever  touch- 
eth those  things  shall  be  unclean,  and  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  be  un- 

28  clean  until  the  even.  But  if  she  be  cleansed  of  her 
issue,  then  she  shall  number  to  herself  seven  days, 

29  and  after  that  she  shall  be  clean.  And  on  the 
eighth  day  she  shall  take  unto  her  two  turtledoves, 
or  two    young  pigeons,  and  bring   them    unto   the 

30  priest,  to  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  the 
priest  shall  offer  the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and  the 
other  for  a  burnt  offering  ;  and  the  priest  shall  make 
atonement  for  her  before  the  Lord  for  the  issue  of 
her  uncleanness. 

31  Thus  shall  ye  separate  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from 
their  uncleanness;  that  they  die  not  in  their  un- 
cleanness, when  they  defile  my  tabernacle  that  is  in 
the  midst  of  them. 

32  This  is  the  law  of  him  that  hath  an  issue,  and  of 
him   whose   seed    of  copulation  goeth  from  him,  so 

33  that  he  is  unclean  thereby ;  and  of  her  that  is  sick 
with  her  impurity,  and  of  him  that  hath  an  issue,  of 
the  man,  and  of  the  woman,  and  of  him  that  lieth 
with  her  that  is  unclean. 

ib  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  after  the  death 
of   the   two   sons   of  Aa'ron,  when  they  drew  near 

2  before  the  Lord,  and  died ;  and  the  Lord  said  unto 
Mo'ses,  Speak  unto  Aa'ron  thy  brother,  that  he  come 
not  at  all  times  into  the  holy  place  within  the  veil, 
before  the  mercy -seat  which  is  upon  the  ark;  that 
he  die  not :  for  I  will  appear  in  the  cloud  upon  the 

3  mercy-seat.  Herewith  shall  Aa'ron  come  into  the 
holy  place :  with  a  young  bullock  for  a  sin  offering, 

4  and  a  ram  for  a  burnt  offering.  He  shall  put  on 
the  holy  linen  coat,  and  he  shall  have  tiie  linen 
breeches  upon   his  flesh,  and  shall   be  girded  ,with

these  are  holy  garments ;  therefore  "shall  he  wash  his  flesh 
in  water,  and  so  put  them  on. 

5  And  he  shall  take  of  'the  congregation  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  two  kids  of  the  goats  for  a  sin  offering,  and  one 
ram  for  a  burnt  offering. 

6  And  Aa'ron  shall  offer  his  bullock  of  the  sin  offering, 
which  is  for  himself,  and  'make  an  atonement  for  himself, 
and  for  his  house. 

7  And  he  shall  take  the  two  goats,  and  present  them  before 
the  Lord  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

8  And  Aa'ron  shall  cast  lots  upon  the  two  goats ;  one  lot 
for.  the  Lord,  and  the  other  lot  for  the  fscapegoat. 

9  And  Aa'ron  shall  bring  the  goat  upon  which  the  Lord's 
lot  ffell,  and  offer  him  for  a  sin  offering. 

10  But  the  goat,  on  which  the  lot  fell  to  be  the  scape- 
goat, shall  be  presented  alive  before  the  Lord,  to  make  *an 
atonement  with  him,  and  to  let  him  go  for  a  scapegoat  into 
the  wilderness. 

11  And  Aa'ron  shall  bring  the  bullock  of  the  sin  offering, 
which  is  for  himself,  and  shall  make  an  atonement  for  him- 
self, and  for  his  house,  and  shall  kill  the  bullock  of  the  sin 
offering  which  is  for  himself: 

12  And  he  shall  take  'a  censer  full  of  burning  coals  of 
fire  from  off  the  altar  before  the  Lord,  and  his  hands  full 
of  "sweet  incense  beaten  small,  and  bring  it  within  the  veil : 

13  "And  he  shall  put  the  incense  upon  the  fire  before  the 
Lord,  that  the  cloud  of  the  incense  may  cover  the  "mercy 
seat  that  is  upon  the  testimony,  that  he  die  not : 

14  And  ^he  shall  take  of  the  blood  of  the  bullock,  and 
sprinkle  it  with  his  finger  upon  the  mercy  seat  eastward : 

and  before  the  mercy  seat  shall  he  sprinkle  of  the  blood 
with  his  finger  seven  times. 

15  ^''Then  shall  he  kill  the  goat  of  the  sin  offering  that 
is  for  the  jjeople,  and  bring  his  blood  'within  the  veil,  and 
do  with  that  blood  as  he  did  with  the  blood  of  the  bullock, 
and  sprinkle  it  upon  the  mercy  seat,  and  before  the  mercy 
seat: 

16  And  he  shall  'make  an  atonement  for  the  holy  place, 
because  of  the  uncleanness  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
because  of  their  transgressions  in  all  their  sins  :  and  so  shall 
he  do  for  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  that  f  remaineth 
among  them  in  the  midst  of  their  uncleanness. 

17  "And  there  shall  be  no  man  in  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  when  he  goeth  in  to  make  an  atonement  in  the 
holy  place,  until  he  come  out,  and  have  made  an  atonement 
for  himself,  and  for  his  household,  and  for  all  the  congrega- 
tion of  Is'ra-el. 

18  And  he  shall  go  out  unto  the  altar  that  is  before  the 
Lord,  and  ^make  an  atonement  for  it ;  and  shall  take  of  the 
blood  of  the  bullock,  and  of  the  blood  of  the  goat,  and  put 
it  upon  the  horns  of  the  altar  round  about. 

19  And  he  shall  sprinkle  of  the  blood  upon  it  with  his 
finger  seven  times,  and  cleanse  it,  and  "hallow  it  from  the 
uncleanness  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

20  ^And  when  he  hath  made  an  end  of  'reconciling  the 
holy  place,  and  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and  the 
altar,  he  shall  bring  the  live  goat : 

21  And  Aa'ron  shall  lay  both  his  hands  upon  the  head  of 
the  live  goat,  and  confess  over  him  all  the  iniquities  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  all  their  transgressions  in 
all  their  sins,  "putting  them  upon  the  head  of  the  goat,  and 
shall  send  him,  away  by  the  hand  of  fa  fit  man  into  the 
wilderness : 

22  And  the  goat  shall  ''bear  upon  him  all  their  iniquities 
unto  a  land  fnot  inhabited :  and  he  shall  let  go  the  goat  in 
the  wilderness. 

23  And  Aa'ron  shall  come  into  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  ''and  shall  put  off  the  Itnen   garments,  which 


the  linen  girdle,  and  with  the  linen  'mitre  shall  he 
be  attired :  they  are  the  holy   garments ;    and   he 

5  shall  bathe  his  flesh  in  water,  and  put  them  on.  And 
he  shall  take  of  the  congregation  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  two  he-goats  for  a  sin  offering,  and  one  ram 

6  for  a  burnt  offering.  And  Aa'ron  shall  present  the 
bullock  of  the  sin  offering,  which  is  for  himself,  and 

7  make  atonement  for  himself,  and  for  his  house.  And 
he  shall  take  the  two  goats,  and  set  them  before  the 

8  Lord  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And 
Aa'ron  shall  cast  lots  upon  the  two  goats ;  one  lot 

9  for  the  Lord,  and  the  other  lot  for  ^A-za'zel.  And 
Aa'ron  shall  present  the  goat  upon  which  the  lot 
fell  for  the  Lord,  and  offer  him  for  a  sin  offering. 

10  But  the  goat,  on  which  the  lot  fell  for  A-za'zel,  shall 
be  set  alive  before  the  Lord,  to  make  atonement 
^for  him,  to  send  him  away  for  A-za'zel  into  the  wil- 

llderness.  And  Aa'ron  shall  present  the  bullock  of 
the  sin  offering,  which  is  for  himself,  and  shall  make 
atonement  for  himself,  and  for  his  house,  and  shall 
kill  the  bullock  of  the  sin  ofl'ering  which  is  for  him- 

12  self:  and  he  shall  take  a  censer  full  of  coals  of  fire 
from  off  the  altar  before  the  X/ORD,  and  his  hands 
full  of  sweet    incense    beaten   small,  and  bring  it 

13 within  the  veil:  and  he  shall  put  the  incense  upon 
the  fire  before  the  Lord,  that  the  cloud  of  the  in- 
cense may  cover  the  mercy-seat  that  is  upon  the 

14  testimony,  that  he  die  not :  and  he  shall  take  of  the 
blood  of  the  bullock,  and  sprinkle  it  with  his  finger 
upon  the  mercy-seat  on  the  east ;  and  before  the 
mercy-seat  shall  he  sprinkle  of  the  blood  with  his 

15  finger  seven  times.  Then  shall  he  kill  the  goat  of 
the  sin  offering,  that  is  for  the  people,  and  bring  his 
blood  within  the  veil,  and  do  with  his  blood  as  he 
did  with  the  blood  of  the  bullock,  and  sprinkle  it 
upon  the   mercy-seat,  and  before   the  mercy-seat : 

16  and  he  shall  make  atonement  for  the  holy  place, 
because    of   the    uncleanness    of   the    children    of 
Is'ra-el,  and  because  of  their  transgressions,  even  all 
their  sins :  and  so  shall  he  do  for  the  tent  of  meet 
ing,  that  dwelleth  with  them  in  the  midst  of  their 

17  uncleannesses.     And  there  shall  be  no  man  in  the 
tent  of  meeting  when  he  goeth  in  to  make  atone 
ment  in  the  holy  place,  until  he  come  out,  and  have 
made  atonement  for  himself,  and  for  his  household, 

18  and  for  all  the  assembly  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he  shall 
go  out  unto  the  altar  that  is  before  the  Lord,  and 
make  atonement  for  it ;  and  shall  take  of  the  blood 
of  the  bullock,  and  of  the  blood  of  the  goat,  and  put 

19  it  upon  the  horns  of  the  altar  round  about.  And 
he  shall  sprinkle  of  the  blood  upon  it  with  his  fin- 
ger seven  times,  and  cleanse  it,  and  hallow  it  from 

20  the  uncleannesses  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And 
when  he  hath  made  an  end  of  atoning  for  the  holy 
place,  and  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  the   altar,   he 

21  shall  present  the  live  goat :  and  Aa'ron  shall  lay  both 
his  hands  upon  the  head  of  the  live  goat,  and  con- 
fess over  him  all  the.iniquitiesof  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el, and  all  their  transgressions,  even  all  their  sins ; 
and  he  shall  put  them  upon  the  head  of  the  goat, 
and  shall  send  him  away  by  the  hand   of  a  man 

22Hhat  is  in  readiness  into  the  wilderness;  and  the 
goat  shall  bear,  upon  him  all  their  iniquities  unto  a 
solitary  land  :  and  he  shall  let  go  the  goat  in   the 

23  wilderness.  And  Aa'ron  shall  come  into  the  tent  of

the  sin  offering,  whose  blood  was  brought  in  to  make  atone-

28  And  he  that  burneth  them  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
bathe  his  flesh  in  water,  and  afterward  he  shall  come  into

29  ^And  this  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  unto  you  :  that  *in

afflict  your  souls,  and  do  no  work  at  all,  whether  it  be  one  of

before  the  Lord. 

31  *It  shall  be  a  sabbath  of  rest  unto  you,  and  ye  shall 
afflict  your  souls,  by  a  statute  for  ever.

shall  t^consecrate  to  minister  in  the  priest's  office  in  his 
father's  stead,  shall  make  the  atonement,  and  "shall  put  on

CHAPTER    XVII. 

Blood  of  all  slain  beasts  must  be  offered  to  the  Lord— Eating  of  blood  forbidden. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  Aa'ron,  and  unto  his  sons,  and  unto  all 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them ;  This  is  the  thing 
which  the  Lord  hath  commanded,  saying, 

3  What  man  soever  there  he  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  "that 
killeth  an  ox,  or  lamb,  or  goat  in  the  camp,  or  that  killeth 
a  out  of  the  camp, 

4  'And  bringeth  it  not  unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  to  offer  an  offering  unto  the  Lord  before 
the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord  ;  blood  shall  be  "imputed  unto 
that  man ;  he  hath  shed  blood ;  and  that  man  ''shall  be  cut 
off  from  among  his  people  : 

5  To  the  end  that  tne  children  of  Is'ra-el  may  bring  their 
sacrifices,  'which  they  offer  in  the  open  field,  even  that  they 
may  bring  them  unto  the  Lord,  unto  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  unto  the  priest,  and  offer  them 
for  peace  offerings  unto  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  priest  ^shall  sprinkle  the  blood  upon  the  altar 
of  the  Lord  ai  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  "burn  the  fat  for  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

7  And  they  shall  no  more  offer  their  sacrifices  ''unto  devils, 
after  whom  they  'have  gone  a  whoring.  This  shall  be  a 
statute  for  ever  unto  them  throughout  their  generations. 

8  ^And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them.  Whatsoever  man  there 
be  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  or  of  the  strangers  which  sojourn 
among  you,  *that  offereth  a  burnt  offering  or  sacrifice, 

9  And  'bringeth  it  not  unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  to  offer  it  unto  the  Lord  ;  even  that  man 
shall  be  cut  off  from  among  his  people.

24 shall  leave  them  there:  and  he  shall  bathe  his 
flesh  in  water  in  a  holy  place,  and  put  on  his  gar- 
ments, and  come  forth,  and  offer  his  burnt  offering 
and    the  burnt  offering  of   the    people,  and   make 

25  atonement  for  himself  and  for  the  people.  And  the 
fkt  of  the  sin  offering  shall  he  burn  upon  the  altar. 

26  And  he  that  letteth  go  the  goat  for  A-za'zel  shall 
wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  his  flesh  in  water,  and 

27  afterward  he  shall  come  into  the  camp.  And  the 
bullock  of  the  sin  offering,  and  the  goat  of  the  sin 
offering,  whose  blood  was  brought  in  to  make  atone- 
ment in  the  holy  place,  shall  be  carried  forth  with- 
out the  camp;  and  they  shall  burn  in  the  fire  their 

28  skins,  and  their  flesh,  and  their  dung.  And  he  that 
burneth  them  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  his 
flesh  in  water,  and  afterward  he  shall  come  into  the 
camp. 

29  And  it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  unto  you :  in 
the  seventh  month,  on  the  tenth  day  of  the  month, 
ye  shall  afflict  your  souls,  and  shall  do  no  manner 
of  work,  the   homeborn,  or  the  stranger   that   so- 

30journeth  among  you:  for  on  this  day  shall  atone- 
ment be  made    for  you,   to   cleanse  you;  from  all 

31  your  sins  shall  ye  be  clean  before  the  Lord.  It  is  a 
sabbath  of  solemn  rest  unto  you,  and  ye  shall  afflict 

32  your  souls ;  it  is  a  statute  for  ever.  And  the  priest, 
who  shall  be  anointed  and  who  shall  be  consecrated 
to  be  priest  in  his  father's  stead,  shall  make  the  atone- 
ment, and  shall  put  on  the  linen  garments,  even  the 

33  holy  garments :  and  he  shall  make  atonement  for  the 
holy  sanctuary,  and  he  shall  make  atonement  for  the 
tent  of  meeting  and  for  the  altar  ;  and  he  shall  make 
atonement  for  the  priests  and  for  all  the  people  of  the 

34  assembly.  And  this  shall  be  an  everlasting  statute 
unto  you,  to  make  atonement  for  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  because  of  all  their  sins  once  in  the  year. 
And  he  did  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

-•-♦      And     the     Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,   saying, 

2  Speak  unto  Aa'ron,  and  unto  his  sons,  and  unto  all 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them ;  This  is 
the  thing  which  the  Lord  hath  commanded,  saying, 

3  What  man  soever  there  be  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
that  killeth  an  ox,  or  lamb,  or  goat,  in  the  camp,  or 

4  that  killeth  it  without  the  camp,  and  hath  not 
brought  it  unto  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  to 
offer  it  as  an  oblation  unto  the  Lord  before  the 
tabernacle  of  the  Lord  :  blood  shall  be  imputed 
unto  that  man ;  he  hath  shed  blood ;  and  that  man 

5  shall  be  cut  off  from  among  his  people :  to  the  end 
that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  may  bring  their  sacrifices, 
which  they  sacrifice  in  the  open  field,  even  that  they 
may  bring  them  unto  the  Lord,  unto  the  door  of 
the  tent  of  meeting,  unto  the  priest,  and  sacrifice 
them  for  sacrifices  of  peace  offerings  unto  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  priest  shall  sprinkle  the  blood  upon  the 
altar  of  the  Lord  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meet- 
ing, and  burn  the  fat  for  a  sweet  savour  unto  the 

7  Lord.  And  they  shall  no  more  sacrifice  their  sac- 
rifices unto  the  'he-goats,  after  whom  they  go  a 
whoring.  This  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  unto  them 
throughout  their  generations. 

8  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  Whatsoever  man 
there  be  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  or  of  the  strangers 
that  sojourn  among  them,  that  offereth  a  burnt  offer- 

9ing  or  sacrifice,  and  bringeth  it  not  unto  the  door 
of  the  tent  of  meeting,  to  sacrifice  it  unto  the  Lord  ; 
even  that  man  shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people.

or  of  the  strangers  that  sojourn  among  you,  that  eateth 
any  manner  of  blood ;  "I  will  even  set  my  face  against  that 
soul  that  eateth  blood,  and  will  cut  him  off  from  among  his

11  "For  the  life  of  the  flesh  is  in  the  blood;  and  I  have

for  the  soul. 

1 2  Therefore  I  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  No  soul 
of  you  shall  eat  blood,  neither  shall  any  stranger  that  so-

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Unlawful  marriages — Unlar-'/ul  lusts. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'se. ,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto   the   children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them,  "I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

3  ''After  the  doings  of  the  land  Oi  I^'gypt,  wherein  ye  dwelt, 
shall  ye  not  do :  and  ''after  the  doings  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
whither  I  bring  you,  shall  ye  not  do :  neither  shall  ye  walk 
in  their  ordinances. 

4  "^Ye  shall  do  my  judgments,  and  keep  mine  ordinances, 
to  walk  therein :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

5  Ye  shall  therefore  keep  my  statutes,  and  my  judgments : 
'which  if  a  man  do,  he  shall  live  in  them :  -^  I  am  the  Lord. 

6  ^None  of  you  shall  approach  to  any  that  is  fnear  of 
kin  to  him,  to  uncover  their  nakedness :  I  am  the  Lord. 

7  "The  nakedness  of  thy  father,  or  the  nakedness  of  thy 
mother,  shalt  thou  not  uncover:  she  is  thy  mother;  thou 
shalt  not  uncover  her  nakedness. 

8  ''The  nakedness  of  thy  father's  wife  shalt  thou  not  un- 
cover :  it  is  thy  father's  nakedness. 

9  'The  nakedness  of  thy  sister,  the  daughter  of  thy  father, 
or  daughter  of  thy  mother,  whether  she  be  born  at  home,  or 
born  abroad,  even  their  nakedness  thou  shalt  not  uncover. 

10  The  nakedness  of  thy  son's  daughter,  or  of  thy  daugh- 
ter's daughter,  even  their  nakedness  thou  shalt  not  uncover: 
for  theirs  is  thine  own  nakedness. 

11  The  nakedness  of  thy  father's  wife's  daughter,  begotten 
of  thy  father,  she  is  thy  sister,  thou  shalt  not  uncover  her 
nakedness. 

1 2  *Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy  father's 
sister :  she  is  thy  father's  near  kinswoman. 

13  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy  mother's 
sister:  for  she  is  thy  mother's  near  kinswoman. 

14  'Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy  father's 
brother,  thou  shalt  not  approach  to  his  wife :  she  is  thine  aunt. 

15  "Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy  daugh- 
ter in  law :  she  is  thy  son's  wife ;  thou  shalt  not  uncover 
her  nakedness. 

16  "Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy  broth- 
er's wife :  it  is  thy  brother's  nakedness. 

17  "Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness   of  a  woman 


10  And  whatsoever  man  there  be  of  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  or  of  the  strangers  that  sojourn  among  them, 
that  eateth  any  manner  of  blood ;  I  will  set  my  face 
against  that  soul  that  eateth  blood,  and  will  cut  him 

11  off  from  among  his  people.  For  the  'life  of  the 
flesh  is  in  the  blood:  and  I  have  given  it  to  you 
upon  the  altar  to  make  atonement  for  your  souls: 
for  it  is  the  blood  that  maketh  atonement  by  reason 

12  of  the  Uife.  Therefore  I  said  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  No  soul  of  you  shall  eat  blood,  neither  shall 
any  stranger  that  sojourneth  among  you  eat  blood. 

13  And  whatsoever  man  there  be  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  or  of  the  strangers  that  sojourn  among  them, 
which  taketh  in  hunting  any  beast  or  fowl  that  may 
be  eaten;  he  shall  pour  out  the  blood  thereof,  and 

14  cover  it  with  dust.  For  as  to  the  life  of  all  flesh, 
the  blood  thereof  is  all  one  with  the  life  thereof: 
therefore  I  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Ye  shall 
eat  the  blood  of  no  manner  of  flesh :  for  the  life  of 
all  flesh  is  the  blood  thereof:  whosoever  eateth  it 

15  shall  be  cut  off.  And  every  soul  that  eateth  Hhat 
which  dieth  of  itself,  or  that  which  is  torn  of  beasts, 
whether  he  be  homeborn  or  a  stranger,  he  shall 
wash  his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and 
be  unclean  until  the  even  :   then  shall  he  be  clean. 

16  But  if  he  wash  them  not,  nor  bathe  his  flesh,  then 
he  shall  bear  his  iniquity. 

+0     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and   say  unto 

3  them,  I  am  the  Lord  your  God.  After  the  doings 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  wherein  ye  dwelt,  shall  ye 
not  do  :  and  after  the  doings  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
whither  I  bring  you,  shall  ye  not  do :  neither  shall 

4  ye  walk  in  their  statutes.  My  judgments  shall  ye 
do,  and  my  statutes  shall  ye  keep,  to  walk  therein 

5 1  am  the  Lord  your  God.  Ye  shall  therefore  keep 
my  statutes,  and  my  judgements  :  which  if  a  man 
do,  he  shall  live  Hn  them  :  I  am  the  Lord. 

6  None  of  you  shall  approach  to  any  that  is  near 
of  kin  to  him,  to  uncover  their  nakedness:    I  am 

7  the  Lord.     The  nakedness  of  thy  father,  even  the 
nakedness  of  thy  mother,  shalt  thou  not  uncover 
she    is  thy  mother;    thou    shalt   not    uncover  her 

8  nakedness.  The  nakedness  of  thy  father's  wife 
shalt  thou  not  uncover :  it  is  thy  father's  nakedness. 

9  The  nakedness  of  thy  sister,  the  daughter  of  thy 
father,  or  the  daughter  of  thy  mother,  whether  born 
at  home,  or  born  abroad,  even  their  nakedness  thou 

10  shalt  not  uncover.  The  nakedness  of  thy  son's 
daughter,  or  of  thy  daughter's  daughter,  even  their 
nakedness  thou  shalt  not  uncover :  for  theirs  is  thine 

11  own  nakedness.  The  nakedness  of  thy  father's  wife's 
daughter,  begotten  of  thy  father,  she  is  thy  sister, 

12  thou  shalt  not  uncover  her  nakedness.  Thou  shalt 
not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy  father's  sister :  she 

13  is  thy  father's  near  kinswoman.  Thou  shalt  not  un- 
cover the  nakedness  of  thy  mother's  sister :  for  she  is 

14  thy  mother's  near  kinswoman.  Thou  shalt  not  un- 
cover the  nakedness  of  thy  father's  brother,  thou  shalt 

15 not  approach  to  his  wife:  she  is  thine  aunt.  Thou 
shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy  daughter  in 
law :  she  is  thy  son's  wife ;  thou  shalt  not  uncover  her 

16  nakedness.  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness 
of  thy  brother's  wife :  it  is  thy  brother's  nakedness. 

1 7  Thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  a  woman

CMAF-TER  XIX. 

A  repetition  of  sundry  laws, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  "Ye  shall  be  holy :    for  I  the 
Lord  your  God  am  holy. 

3  •[[''Ye  shall  fear  every  man  his  mother,  and  his  father, 
and  "keep  my  sabbaths :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

4  ^''Turn  ye  not  unto  idols,  *nor  make  to  yourselves 
molten  gods :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

5  ^And  -^if  ye  offer  a  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings  unto  the 
Lord,  ye  shall  offer  it  at  your  own  will. 

6  It  shall  be  eaten  the  same  day  ye  offer  it,  and  on  the 
morrow :  and  if  aught  remain  until  the  third  day,  it  shall 
be  burnt  in  the  fire. 

7  And  if  it  be  eaten  at  all  on  the  third  day,  it  is  abomi- 
nable ;  it  shall  not  be  accepted. 

8  Therefore  every  one  that  eateth  it  shall  bear  his  iniquity, 
because  he  hath  profaned  the  hallowed  thing  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  among  his  people. 

9  T[And  "when  ye  reap  the  harvest  of  your  land,  thou 
shalt  not  wholly  reap  the  corners  of  thy  field,  neither  shalt 
thou  gather  the  gleanings  of  thy  harvest. 

10  And  thou  shalt  not  glean  thy  vineyard,  neither  shalt 
thou  gather  every  grape  of  thy  vineyard ;  thou  shalt  leave 
them  for  the  poor  and  stranger :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

11  ^*Ye  shall  not  steal,  neither  deal  falsely,  'neither  lie 
one  to  another. 

12  ^And  ye  shall  not  *swear  by  my  name  falsely,  'neither 
shalt  thou  profane  the  name  of  thy  God :  I  am  the  Lord, 


and  her  daughter;  thou  shalt  not  take  her  son's 
daughter,  or  her  daughter's  daughter,  to  uncover 
her  nakedness ;  they  are  near  kinswomen :  it  is 
18 'wickedness.  And  thou  shalt  not  take  a  woman 
to  her  sister,  to  be  a  rival  to  her,  to   uncover  her 

19  nakedness,  beside  the  other  in  her  life  time.  And 
thou  shalt  not  approach  unto  a  woman  to  uncover 
her   nakedness,  as   long  as  she  is  ^impure   by  her 

20  uncleanness.  And  thou  shalt  not  lie  carnally  with 
thy    neighbour's   wife,   to   defile   thyself   with   her. 

21  And  thou  shalt  not  give  any  of  thy  seed  'to  make 
them  pass  through  the  fire  to  Mo'lech,  neither  shalt 
thou  profane  the  name  of  thy  God :  I  am  the  Lord. 

22  Thou  shalt  not  lie  with  mankind,  as  with  woman-

24  Defile  not  ye  yourselves  in  any  of  these  things: 
for  in  all  these  the  nations  are  defiled  which  I  cast 

25  out  from  before  you  :  and  the  land  is  defiled :  there- 
fore I  do  visit  the  iniquity  thereof  upon  it,  and  the 

26  land  vomiteth  out  her  inhabitants.  Ye  therefore

homeborn,  nor  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  among 

27 you:  (for  all  these  abominations  have  the  men  of 
the  land  done,  which  were  before  you,  and  the  land 

28 is  defiled;)  that  the  land  vomit  not  you  out  also, 
when  ye  defile  it,  as  it  vomited  out  the  nation  that 

29  was  before  you.  For  whosoever  shall  do  any  of 
these  abominations,  even   the  souls  that  do  them 

30  shall  be  cut  off  from  among  their  people.  There- 
fore shall  ye  keep  my  charge,  that  ye  do  not  any  of 
these  abominable  customs,  which  were  done  before 
you,  and  that  ye  defile  not  yourselves  therein :  I  am

CHAPTER  XX. 

Oy  wizards,  ianctification,  cursing  of  parents,  adultery,  incest,  sodomy,  etc, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  sayiDg, 
2  "Again  thou  shalt  say  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
^Whosoever  he  be  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  or  of  the 
strangers  that  sojourn  in  Is'ra-el,  that  giveth  any  of  his  seed 
unto  Mo'lech ;  he  shall  surely  be  put  to  death :  the  people 
of  the  land  shall  stone  him  with  stones. 

3  And  "I  will  set  my  face  against  that  man,  and  will  cut 
him  off  from  among  his  people ;  because  he  hath  given  of 
his  seed  unto  Mo'lech,  to  "defile  my  sanctuary,  and  'to 
profane  my  holy  name. 

4  And  if  the  people  of  the  land  do  any  ways  hide  their 
eyes  from  the  man,  when  he  giveth  of  his  seed  unto  Mo'lech, 
and  -^kill  him  not; 

5  Then  "I  will  set  my  face  against  that  man,  and  *against  his 
family,and  will  cut  him  off,andall  that  'go  a  whoring  after  him, 
to  commit  whoredom  with  Mo'lech,  from  among  their  people. 

6  ^And  *the  soul  that  turneth  after  such  as  have  familiar 
spirits,  and  after  wizards,  to  go  a  whoring  after  them,  I  will 
even  set  my  face  against  that  soul,  and  will  cut  him  off  from 
among  his  people. 

7  ^'Sanctify  yourselves  therefore  and  be  ye  holy:  for  I 
am  the  Lord  your  God. 

8  ""And  ye  shall  keep  my  statutes,  and  do  them :  "I  am 
the  Lord  which  sanctify  you. 

9  ^°For  every  one  that  curseth  his  father  or  his  mother 
shall  be  surely  put  to  death :  he  hath  cursed  his  father  or  his 
mother ;  "his  blood  shall  be  upon  him. 

10  ^And  'the  man  that  committeth  adultery  with  another 
man's  wife,  even  he  that  committeth  adultery  with  his  neigh- 
bour's wife,  the  adulterer  and  the  adulteress  shall  surely  be 
put  to  death. 

11  'And  the  man  that  lieth  with  his  father's  wife  hath 
uncovered  his  father's  nakedness  :  both  of  them  shall  surely 
be  put  to  death  ;  their  blood  shall  be  upon  them. 

12  'And  if  a  man  lie  with  his  daughter  in  law,  both  of 
them  shall  surely  be  put  to  death :  'they  have  wrought  con- 
fusion ;  their  blood  shall  be  upon  them. 

13  "If  a  man  also  lie  with  mankind,  as  he  lieth  with  a  woman, 
both  of  them  have  committed  an  abomination :  they  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death ;  their  blood  shall  be  upon  them. 

14  ''And  if  a  man  take  a  wife  and  her  mother,  it  is  wicked- 
ness :  they  shall  be  burnt  with  fire,  both  he  and  they ;  that 
there  be  no  wickedness  among  you. 

15  "And  if  a  man  lie  with  a  beast,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death  ;  and  ye  shall  slay  the  beast. 

16  And  if  a  woman  approach  unto  any  beast,  and  lie  down 
thereto,  thou  shalt  kill  the  woman,  and  the  beast :  they  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death  ;  their  blood  shall  be  upon  them. 

17  "And  if  a  man  shall  take  his  sister,  his  father's  daughter, 
or  his  mother's  daughter,  and  see  her  nakedness,  and  she 
see  his  nakedness ;  it  i«  a  wicked  thing ;  and  they  shall  be 
cut  off  in  the  sight  of  their  people :  he  hath  uncovered  his 
sister's  nakedness ;  he  shall  bear  his  iniquity. 

18  "And  if  a  man  shall  lie  with  a  woman  having  her 
sickness,  and  shall  uncover  her  nakedness;  he  hath  fdis- 
covered  her  fountain,  and  she  hath  uncovered  the  fountain 
of  her  blood :  and  both  of  them  shall  be  cut  off  from  among 
their  people. 

19  ''And  thou  shalt  not  uncover  the  nakedness  of  thy 
mother's  sister,  nor  of  thy  father's  sister  ;  "for  he  uncovereth 
his  near  kin  :  they  shall  bear  their  iniquity. 

20  ''And  if  a  man  shall  lie  with  his  uncle's  wife,  he  hath 
uncovered  his  uncle's  nakedness  :  they  shall  bear  their  sin  ; 
they  shall  die  childless. 

21  'And  if  a  man  shall  take  his  brother's  wife,  it  is  fan 
unclean  thing :  he  hath  uncovered  Ijis  brother's  nakedness ; 
they  shall  be  childless. 


>^v  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying 
2  Moreover,  thou  shalt  say  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
Whosoever  be  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  or  of  the 
strangers  that  sojourn  in  Is'ra-el,  that  giveth  of  his 
seed  unto  Mo'lech ;  he  shall  surely  be  put  to  death  : 
the  people  of  the  land  shall  stone  him  with  stones. 
3 1  also  will  set  my  face  against  that  man,  and  will  cut 
him  off  from  among  his  people;  because  he  hath 
given  of  his  seed  unto  Mo'lech,  to  defile  my  sanctuary, 

4  and  to  profane  my  holy  name.  And  if  the  people 
of  the  land  do  any  ways  hide  their  eyes  from  that 
man,  when  he  giveth  of  his  seed  unto  Mo'lech,  and 

5  put  him  not  to  death  :  then  I  will  set  my  face  against 
that  man,  and  against  his  family,  and  will  cut  him 
off,  and  all  that  go  a  whoring  after  him,  to  commit 
whoredom  with  Mo'lech,  from  among  their  people. 

6  And  the  soul  that  turneth  unto  them  that  have 
familiar  spirits,  and  unto  the  wizards,  to  go  a  whor- 
ing after  them,  I  will  even  set  my  face  against  that 
soul,  and   will  cut  him  off  from  among  his  people. 

7  Sanctify  yourselves  therefore,  and  be  ye  holy :  for  I 

8  am  the  Lord  your  God.  And  ye  shall  keep  my 
statutes,  and  do  them :  I  am  the  Lord  which  sanctify 

9  you.  For  every  one  that  curseth  his  father  or  his 
mother  shall  surely  be  put  to  death  :  he  hath  cursed 
his  father  or  his  mother ;  his  blood  shall  be  upon 

10 him.     And  the  man  that  committeth  adultery  with 
another  man's  wife,  even  he  that  committeth  adul 
tery  with  his  oeighbour's  wife,  the  adulterer  and  the 

11  adulteress  shall  surely  be  put  to  death.  And  the 
man  that  lieth  with  his  father's  wife  hath  uncovered 
his  father's  nakedness :  both  of  them  shall  surely  be 

12  put  to  death  ;  their  blood  shall  be  upon  them.  And 
if  a  man  lie  with  his  daughter  in  law,  both  of  them 
shall  surely  be   put  to  death ;  they   have    wrought 

13 confusion;  their  blood  shall  be  upon  them.  And 
if  a  man  lie  with  mankind,  as  with  womankind, 
both  of  them  have  committed  abomination :  they 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death;  their  blood  shall  be 

14  upon  them.  And  if  a  man  take  a  wife  and  her 
mother,  it  is  'wickedness :  they  shall  be  burnt  with 
fire,  both  he  and  they ;  that  there  be  no  wickedness 

15  among  you.  And  if  a  man  lie  with  a  beast,  he 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death  :  and  ye  shall  slay  the 

16  beast.  And  if  a  woman  approach  unto  any  beast, 
and  lie  down  thereto,  thou  shalt  kill  the  woman,  and 
the  beast :  they  shall  surely  be  put  to  death ;  their 

17  blood  shall  be  upon  them.  And  if  a  man  shall  take 
his  sister,  his  father's  daughter,  or  his  mother's 
daughter,  and  see  her  nakedness,  and  she  see  his 
nakedness ;  it  is  a  shameful  thing ;  and  they  shall 
be  cut  off  in  the  sight  of  the  children  of  their 
people :  he  hath  uncovered  his  sister's  nakedness ; 

18  he  shall  bear  his  iniquity.  And  if  a  man  shall  lie 
with  a  woman  having  her  sickness,  and  shall  un- 
cover her  nakedness ;  he  hath  made  naked  her 
fountain,  and  she  hath  uncovered  the  fountain  of 
her  blood :  and  both  of  them  shall  be  cut  off  from 

19  among  their  people.  And  thou  shalt  not  uncover 
the  nakedness  of  thy  mother's  sister,  nor  of  thy 
father's    sister :    for  he  hath   made  naked  his  near 

20  kin:  they  shall  bear  their  iniquity.  And  if  a  man 
shall  lie  with  his  uncle's  wife,  he  hath  uncovered  his 
uncle's  nakedness:  they  shall  bear  their  sin  ;  they 

21  shall  die  childless.  And  if  a  man  shall  take  his 
brother's  wife,  it  is  impurity  :  he  hath  uncovered  his 
brother's  nakedness;  they  shall  be  childless.

CHAPTER   XXI. 

0/  the  priests'  mourning~0/  their  marriages. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Speak  unto  the  priests 
the   sons  of  Aa'ron,  and   say  unto   them,  "There  shall 
none  be  defiled  for  the  dead  among  his  people : 

2  But  for  his  kin,  that  is  near  unto  him,  that  is,  for  his 
mother,  and  for  his  father,  and  for  his  son,  and  for  his 
daughter,  and  for  his  brother, 

3  And  for  his  sister  a  virgin,  that  is  nigh  unto  him,  which 
hath  had  no  husband ;  for  her  may  he  be  deliled. 

4  But  II  he  shall  not  defile  himself,  being  a  chief  man 
among  his  people,  to  profane  himself. 

5  ''They  shall  not  make  baldness  upon  their  head,  neither 
shall  they  shave  off  the  corner  of  their  beard,  nor  make 
any  cuttings  in  their  flesh. 

6  They  shall  be  holy  unto  their  God,  and  "not  profane  the 
name  of  their  God :  for  the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by 
fire,  and  Hhe  bread  of  their  God,  they  do  offer :  therefore 
they  shall  be  holy. 

7  'They  shall  not  take  a  wife  that  is  a  whore,  or  profane ; 
neither  shall  they  take  a  woman  ■''put  away  from  her  hus- 
band :  for  he  is  holy  unto  his  God. 

8  Thou  shalt  sanctify  him  therefore;  for  he  offereth  the 
bread  of  thy  God :  he  shall  be  holy  unto  thee :  "for  I  the 
Lord,  which  sanctify  you,  am  holy. 

9  ^*And  the  daughter  of  any  priest,  if  she  profane  her- 
self by  playing  the  whore,  she  profaneth  her  father :  she 
shall  be  burnt  with  fire. 

10  'And  he  that  is  the  high  priest  among  his  brethren, 
upon  whose  head  the  anointing  oil  was  poured,  and  *that 
is  consecrated  to  put  on  the  garments,  'shall  not  uncover 
his  head,  nor  rend  his  clothes ; 

11  Neither  shall  he  ""go  in  to  any  dead  body,  nor  defile 
himself  for  his  father,  or  for  his  mother ; 

12  "Neither  shall  he  go  out  of  the  sanctuary,  nor  profane 
the  sanctuary  of  his  God ;  for  "the  crown  of  the  anointing 
oil  of  his  God  is  upon  him  :  I  am  the  Lord. 

13  And  Phe  shall  take  a  wife  in  her  virginity. 

14  A  widow,  or  a  divorced  woman,  or  profane,  or  a  har- 
lot, these  shall  he  not  take :  but  he  shall  take  a  virgin  of 
his  own  people  to  wife. 

15  Neither  shall  he  profane  his  seed  among  his  people : 
for  'I  the  Lord  do  sanctify  him. 

16  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

17  Speak  unto  Aa'ron,  saying,  Whosoever  he  be  of  thy 
seed  in  their  generations  that  hath  any  blemish,  let  him  not 
''approach  to  offer  the  1 1  bread  of  his  God : 


22  Ye  shall  therefore  keep  all  my  statutes,  and  all  my 
judgements,  and  do  them:  that  the  land,  whither  I 
bring   you  to   dwell   therein,    vomit    you    not    out. 

23  And  ye  shall  not  walk  in  the  customs  of  the  nation, 
which  I  cast  out  before  you :  for  they   did  all  these 

24  things,  and  therefore  I  abhorred  them.  But  I  have 
said  unto  you.  Ye  shall  inherit  their  land,  and  I  will 
give  it  unto  you  to  possess  it,  a  land  flowing  with 
milk  and  honey :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God,  which 

25 have  separated  you  from  the  peoples.  Ye  shall 
therefore  separate  between  the  clean  beast  and  the 
unclean,  and  between  the  unclean  fowl  and  the  clean  : 
and  ye  shall  not  make  your  souls  abominable  by 
beast,  or  by  fowl,  or  by  any  thing  wherewith  the 
ground  Heemeth,  which  I  have  separated  from  you 

26  as  unclean.  And  ye  shall  be  holy  unto  me :  for  I 
the  Lord  am  holy,  and  have  separated  you  from 
the  peoples,  that  ye  should  be  mine. 

27  A  man  also  or  a  woman  that  hath  a  familiar  spirit, 
or  that  is  a  wizard,  shall  surely  be  put  to  death : 
they  shall  stone  them  with  stones :  their  blood  shall 
be  upon  them. 

^^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Speak  unto  the 
priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron,  and  say  unto  them.  There 
shall  none  defile   himself  for  the  dead  among  his 

2 people;  except  for  his  kin,  that  is  near  unto  him, 
for  his  mother,  and  for  his  father,  and  for  his  son. 

Sand  for  his  daughter,  and  for  his  brother;  and  for 
his  sister  a  virgin,  that  is  near  unto  him,  which  hath 

4  had  no  husband,  for  her  may  he  defile  himself.  He 
shall  not  defile  himself,  ''being  a  chief  man  among 

5  his  people,  to  profane  himself.  They  shall  not  make 
baldness  upon  their  head,  neither  shall  they  shave 
off  the  corner  of  their  beard,  nor  make  any  cuttings 

6  in  their  flesh.  They  shall  be  holy  unto  their  God, 
and  not  profane  the  name  of  their  God :  for  the  of- 
ferings of  the  Lord  made  by  fire,  the  bread  of  their 
God,  they  do    offer:  therefore  they  shall  be  holy. 

7  They  shall  not  take  a  woman  that  is  a  harlot,  or 
'profane ;  neither  shall  they  take  a  woman  put  away 
from  her  husband :  for  he  is  holy   unto    his  God. 

8 Thou  shalt  sanctify  him  therefore;  for  he  offereth 
the  bread  of  thy  God :  he  shall  be  holy  unto  thee : 

9  for  I  the  Lord,  which  sanctify  you,  am  holy.  And 
the  daughter  of  any  priest,  if  she  profane  herself 
by  playing  the  harlot,  she  profaneth  her  father:  she 
shall  be  burnt  with  fire. 

10  And  he  that  is  the  high  priest  among  his  breth- 
ren, upon  whose  head  the  anointing  oil  is  poured, 
and  ^that  is  consecrated  to  put  on  the  garments, 
shall  not  let  the  hair  of  his  head  go  loose,  nor  rend 

11  his  clothes;  neither  shall  he  go  in  to  any  dead  body, 
nor  defile  himself  for  his  father,  or  for  his  mother; 

12  neither  shall  he  go  out  of  the  sanctuary,  nor  pro- 
fane the  sanctuary  of  his  God ;  for  the  'crown  of  the 
anointing  oil    of  his  God  is  upon  him:  I  am  the 

13  Lord.     And  he   shall  take  a  wife  in   her  virginity. 

14  A  widow,  or  one  divorced,  or  a  'profane  woman,  an 
harlot,  these  shall  he  not  take  :  but  a  virgin  of  his 

15  own  people  shall  he  take  to  wife.  And  he  shall  not 
profane  his  seed  among  his  people:  for  I  am  the 
Lord  which  sanctify  him. 

And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Speak 
unto  Aa'ron,  saying.  Whosoever  he  be  of  thy  seed 
throughout  their  generations  that  hath  a  blemish, 
let  him  not  approach  to  offer  the  bread  of  his  God.

18  For  whatsoever  man  he  he  that  hath  a  blemish,  he  shall 
not  approach :  a  blind  man,  or  a  lame,  or  he  that  hath  a 
flat  nose,  or  any  thing  'superfluous, 

19  Or  a  man  that  is  brokenfooted,  or  brokenhanded, 

20  Or  crookbacked,  or  ||a  dwarf,  or  that  hath  a  blemish 
in  his  eye,  or  be  scurvy,  or  scabbed,  or  'hath  his  stones  broken ; 

21  No  man  that  hath  a  blemish  of  the  seed  of  Aa'ron  the 
priest  shall  come  nigh  to  "ofiFer  the  oflFerings  of  the  Lokd 
made  by  fire' :  he  hath  a  blemish ;  he  shall  not  come  nigh  to 
offer  the  bread  of  his  God. 

22  He  shall  eat  the  bread  of  his  God,  both  of  the  ^most 
holy,  and  of  the  "holy. 

23  Only  he  shall  not  go  in  unto  the  veil,  nor  come 
nigh  unto  the  altar,  because  he  hath  a  blemish ;  that 
'he  profane  not  my  sanctuaries :  for  I  the  Lord  do  sanc- 
tify them. 

24  And  Mo'ses  told  it  unto  Aa'ron,  and  to  his  sons,  and 
unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XXII. 

The  priests  in  their  uncleanness  must  abstain  from  the  holy  things, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  Aa'ron  and  to  his  sons,  that  they  "separate 
themselves  from  the  holy  things  of  the  children  of  Is  ra-el, 
and  that  they  'profane  not  my  holy  name  in  those  things 
which  they  "hallow  unto  me :  I  am  the  Lord. 

3  Say  unto  them,  Whosoever  he  be  of  all  your  seed  among 
your  generations,  that  goeth  unto  the  holy  things,  which 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  hallow  unto  the  Lord,  ''having  his 
uncleanness  upon  him,  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  my 
presence  :  I  am  the  Lord. 

4  What  man  soever  of  the  seed  of  Aa'ron  is  a  leper,  or 
hath  'a  frunning  issue  ;  he  shall  not  eat  of  the  holy  things, 
■''until  he  be  clean.  And  "whoso  toucheth  any  thing  that  is 
unclean  by  the  dead,  or  *a  man  whose  seed  goeth  from  him  ; 

5  Or  'whosoever  toucheth  any  creeping  thing,  whereby  he 
may  be  made  unclean,  or  -"a  man  of  whom  he  may  take 
uncleanness,  whatsoever  uncleanness  he  hath  : 

6  The  soul  which  hath  touched  any  such  shall  be  unclean 
until  the  even,  and  shall  not  eat  of  the  holy  things,  unless 
he  'wash  his  flesh  with  water. 

7  And  when  the  sun  is  down,  he  shall  be  clean,  and  shall 
afterward  eat  of  the  holy  things  ;  because  "it  is  his  food. 

8  "That  which  dieth  of  itself,  or  is  torn  with  beasts,  he  shall 
not  eat  to  defile  himself  therewith  :  I  am  the  Lord. 

9  They  shall  therefore  keep  mine  ordinance,  "lest  they  bear 
sin  for  it,  and  die  therefore,  if  they  profane  it :  I  the  Lord 
do  sanctify  them. 

10  "There  shall  no  stranger  eat  of  the  holy  thing :  a  so- 
journer of  the  priest,  or  a  hired  servant,  shall  not  eat  of  the 
holy  thing. 

11  But  if  the  priest  buy  any  soul  fwith  his  money,  he  shall 
eat  of  it,  and  he  that  is  born  in  his  house :  'they  shall  eat 
of  his  meat. 

12  Ifthe  priest's  daughter  also  be  marriflof  unto  fa  stranger, 
she  may  not  eat  of  an  offering  of  the  holy  things. 

13  But  if  the  priest's  daughter  be  a  widow,  or  divorced, 
and  have  no  child,  and  is  'returned  unto  her  father's  house, 
"as  in  her  youth,  she  shall  eat  of  her  father's  meat :  but  there 
shall  no  stranger  eat  thereof. 

14  ^'And  if  a  man  eat  of  the  holy  thing  unwittingly,  then 
he  shall  put  the  fifth  part  thereof  unto  it,  and  shall  give  it 
unto  the  priest  with  the  holy  thing. 

15  And  "they  shall  not  profane  the  holy  things  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  they  offer  unto  the  Lord  : 

16  Or  1 1  suffer  them  'to  bear  the  iniquity  of  trespass,  when 
they  eat  their  holy  things  :  for  I  the  Lord  do  sanctify  them. 

17  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

18  Speak  unto  Aa'ron,  and  to  his  sons,  and  unto  all  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  "Whatsoever  he  be  of 


18  For  whatsoever  man  he  be  that  hath  a  blemish,  he 
shall  not  approach :  a  blind  man,  or  a  lame,  or  he 

19  that  hath  a  'flat  nose,  or  any  thing  superfluous,  or 

20  a  man  that  is  brokenfooted,  or  brokenhanded,  or 
crookbackt,  or  a  dwarf,  or  that  hath  a  blemish  in  his 
eye,    or   is   scurvy,    or  scabbed,  or  hath  his  stones 

21  broken ;  no  man  of  the  seed  of  Aa'ron  the  priest, 
that  hath  a  blemish,  shall  come  nigh  to  offer  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire :  he  hath  a  blem- 
ish ;  he  shall  not  come  nigh  to  offer  the  bread  of 

22  his  God.     He  shall  eat  the  bread  of  his  God,  both 

23  of  the  most  holy,  and  of  the  holy.  Only  he  shall 
not  go  in  unto  the  veil,  nor  come  nigh  unto  the 
altar,  because  he  hath  a  blemish ;  that  he  profane 
not   my    sanctuaries :    for    I    am  the   Lord  which 

24  sanctify  them.  So  Mo'ses  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  and  to 
his  sons,  and  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

^^     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Speak  unto  Aa'ron  and  to  his  sons,  that  they  sepa- 
rate themselves  from  the  holy  things  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  which  they  hallow  unto  me,  and  that 
they  profane  not  my  holy  name :   I  am  the  Lord. 

3  Say  unto  them.  Whosoever  he  be  of  all  your  seed 
throughout  ■  your  generations,  that  approacheth 
unto  the  holy  things,  which  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
hallow  unto  the  Lord,  having  his  uncleanness  upon 
him,  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  before  me :  I  am 

4  the  Lord.  What  man  soever  of  the  seed  of  Aa'ron 
is  a  leper,  or  hath  an  issue ;  he  shall  not  eat  of  the 
holy  things,  until  he  be  clean.  And  whoso  toucheth 
^any  thing  that  is  unclean  by  the  dead,  or  a  man 

5  whose  seed  goeth  from  him ;  or  whosoever  toucheth 
any  creeping  thing,  whereby  he  may  be  made  un- 
clean, or  a  man  of  whom  he  may  take  uncleanness, 

6  whatsoever  uncleanness  he  hath ;  the  soul  which 
toucheth  any  such  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even, 
and  shall  not  eat  of  the  holy  things,  unless  he  bathe 

7  his  flesh  in  water.  And  when  the  sun  is  down,  he 
shall  be  clean ;  and  afterward  he  shall  eat  of  the 

8  holy  things,  because  it  is  his  bread.  That  which 
dieth  of  itself,  or  is  torn  of  beasts,  he  shall  not  eat 

9  to  defile  himself  therewith  :  I  am  the  Lord.  They 
shall  therefore  keep  my  charge,  lest  they  bear  sin 
for  it,  and  die  therein,  if  they  profane  it :  I  am  the 

10  Lord  which  sanctify  them.  There  shall  no  stranger 
eat  of  the  holy  thing  :  a  sojourner  of  the  priest's,  or 
an    hired   servant,  shall  not  eat  of  the  holy  thing. 

11  But  if  a  priest  buy  any  soul,  the  purchase  of  his 
money,  he  shall  eat  of  it ;  and  such  as  are  born  in 

12  his  house,  they  shall  eat  of  his  bread.  And  if  a 
priest's  daughter  be  married  unto  a  stranger,  she 
shall  not  eat  of  the  heave  offering  of  the  holy  things; 

13  But  if  a  priest's  daughter  be  a  widow,  or  divorced, 
and  have  no  child,  and  is  returned  unto  her  father's 
house,  as  in  her  youth,  she  shall  eat  of  her  father's 

14  bread :  but  there  shall  no  stranger  eat  thereof  And 
if  a  man  eat  of  the  holy  thing  unwittingly,  then  he 
shall  put  the  fifth  part  thereof  unto  it,  and  shall  give 

15  unto  the  priest  the  holy  thing.  And  they  shall  not 
profane  the  holy  things  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 

16  which  they  offer  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  so  cause  them 
to  bear  the  iniquity  that  bringeth  guilt,  when  they 
eat  their  holy  things:  for  I  am  the  Lord  which 
sanctify  them. 

IJ  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Speak 
unto  Aa'ron,  and  to  his  sons,  and  unto  all  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them,  Whosoever  he  be  of

CHAPXER  XXIII. 

Thg  feasts  of  the  Lord— Day  of  atonement — Feast  of  tabernacles. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
Concerning  "the  feasts  of  the  Lord,  which  ye  shall  ''pro- 
claim to  be  holy  convocations,  even  these  are  my  feasts. 

3  'Six  days  shall  work  be  done  :  but  the  seventh  day  is  the 
sabbath  of  rest,  a  holy  convocation ;  ye  shall  do  no  work 
therein :  it  is  the  sabbath  of  the  Lord  in  all  your  dwellings. 

4  ^''These  are  the  feasts  of  the  Lord,  even  holy  convo- 
cations, which  ye  phall  proclaim  in  their  seasons. 

5  'In  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  first  month  at  even  is  the 
Lord's  passover. 

6  And  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  same  month  is  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread  unto  the  Lord  :  seven  days  ye  must 
eat  unleavened  bread. 

7  -'^In  the  first  day  ye  shall  have  a  holy  convocation :  ye 
shall  do  no  servile  work  therein. 

8  But  ye  shall  offer  an  offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord  seven  days :  in  the  seventh  day  is  a  holy  convoca- 
tion :  ye  shall  do  no  servile  work  therein. 

9  T[And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
"When  ye  be  come  into  the  land  which  I  give  unto  you, 
and  shall  reap  the  harvest  thereof,  then  ye  shall  bring  a 
II  fsheaf  of  ''the  firstfruits  of  your  harvest  unto  the  priest: 

11  And  he  shall  'wave  the  sheaf  before  the  Lord,  to  be 


the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  or  of  the  strangers  in  Is'ra-el,  that 
offereth  his  oblation,whether  it  be  any  of  their  vows, 
or  any  of  their  freewill  offerings,  which  they  offer 

19  unto  the  Lord  for  a  burnt  offering;  that  ye  may  be 
accepted,  ye  shall  offer  a  male   without   blemish,  of 

20  the  beeves,  of  the  sheep,  or  of  the  goats.  But  what- 
soever hath  a  blemish,  that  shall  ye  not  offer :  for  it 

21  shall  not  be  acceptable  for  you.  And  whosoever 
offereth  a  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings  unto  the  Lord 
to  'accomplish  a  vow,  or  for  a  freewill  offering,  of  the 
herd  or  of  the  flock,  it  shall  be  perfect  to  be  accepted ; 

22  there  shall  be  no  blemish  therein.  Blind,  or  broken, 
or  maimed,  or  having  'a  wen,  or  scurvy,  or  scabbed, 
ye  shall  not  offer  these  unto  the  Lord,  nor  make  an 
offering  by  fire  of  them  upon  the   altar  unto  the 

23  Lord.  Either  a  bullock  or  a  lamb  that  hath  any 
thing  superfluous  or  lacking  in  his  parts,  that  may- 
est thou  offer  for  a  freewill  offering ;  but  for  a  vow 

24  it  shall  not  be  accepted.  That  which  hath  its  stones 
bruised,  or  crushed,  or  broken,  or  cut,  ye  shall  not 
offer  unto  the  Lord  ;  neither  shall  ye  'do  thus  in 

25  your  land.  Neither  from  the  hand  of  a  foreigner 
shall  ye  offer  the  bread  of  your  God  of  any  of  these ; 
because  their  corruption  is  in  them,  there  is  a  blem- 
ish in  them :  they  shall  not  be  accepted  for  you. 

26  And    the    Lord    spake    unto     Mo'ses,    saying, 

27  When  a  bullock,  or  a  sheep,  or  a  goat,  is  brought 
forth,  then  it  shall  be  seven  days  under  the  dam ; 
and  from  the  eighth  day  and  thenceforth  it  shall  be 
acepted  for  the   oblation  of  an   offering  made  by 

28  fire  unto  the  Lord.  And  whether  it  be  cow  or 
ewe,  ye  shall  not  kill  it  and  her  young  both  in  one 

29  day.  And  when  ye  sacrifice  a  sacrifice  of  thanks- 
giving unto  the  Lord,  ye  shall  sacrifice  it  that  ye 

30  may  be  accepted.  On  the  same  day  it  shall  be 
eaten ;  ye  shall  leave  none  of  it  until  the  morning : 

31 1  am  the  Lord.     Therefore  shall  ye  keep  my  com- 

32  mandments,  and  do  them  :  I  am  the  Lord.  And 
ye  shall  not  profane  my  holy  name;  but  I  will  be 
hallowed  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  I  am  the 

33  Lord  which  hallow  you,  that  brought  you  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  be  your  God  :  I  am  the  Lord. 

^^     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them. 
The  *set  feasts  of  the  Lord,  which  ye  shall  proclaim 
to  be  holy  convocations,  even  these  are  my  set  feasts. 

3  Six  days  shall  work  be  done :  but  On  the  seventh 
day  is  a  sabbath  of  solemn  rest,  an  holy  convocation  ; 
ye  shall  do  no  manner  of  work  :  it  is  a  sabbath  unto 
the  Lord  in  all  your  dwellings. 

4  These  are  the  set  feasts  of  the  Lord,  even  holy 
convocations,  which  ye  shall  proclaim  in  their  ap- 

5  pointed  season.  In  the  first  month,  on  the  fourteenth 
day  of  the  month  'at  even,  is  the  Lord's  passover. 

6  And  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  same  month  is  the 
feast  of  unleavened  bread  unto  the  Lord  :  seven 

7  days  ye  shall  eat  unleavened  bread.  In  the  first  day 
ye  shall  have  an  holy  convocation  :  ye  shall  do  no 

8  "servile  work.  But  ye  shall  offer  an  offering  made 
by  fire  unto  the  Lord  seven  days :  in  the  seventh 
day  is  an  holy  convocation ;  ye  shall  do  no  servile 
work. 

1?  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  Speak 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, When 
ye  be  come  into  the  land  which  I  give  unto  you,  and 
shall  reap  the  harvest  thereof,  then  ye  shall  bring  the 
sheaf  of  the  firstfruits  of  your  harvest  unto  the  priest : 
Hand  he  shall  wave  the  sheaf  before  the  Lord,  to  be

ing thereof  shall  be  of  wine,  the  fourth  part  of  a  bin. 

14  And  ye  shall  eat  neither  bread,  nor  parched  corn,  nor

throughout  your  generations  in  all  your  dwellings. 

15  ^And  'ye  shall  count  unto  you  from  the  morrow

16  Even  unto  the  morrow  after  the  seventh  sabbath  shall 
ye  number  "fifty  days;  and  ye  shall  offer  "a  new  meat

18  And  ye  shall  offer  with  the  bread  seven  lambs  without

19  Then  ye  shall  sacrifice  ''one  kid  of  the  goats  for  a  sin

'peace  offerings. 

20  And  the  priest  shall  wave  them  with  the  bread  of  the 
firstfruits  for  a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord,  with  the  two 
lambs :  'they  shall  be  holy  to  the  Lord  for  the  priest.

convocation.

ing made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord.

32  It  shall  be  unto  you  a  sabbath  of  rest,  and  ye  shall

37  'These  are  the  feasts  of  the  Lord,  which  ye  shall  pro- 
claim to  be  holy  convocations,  to  offer  an  offering  made  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord,  a  burnt  offering,  and  a  meat  offering,

39  Also  in  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  seventh  month,  when 
ye  have  "gathered  in  the  fruit  of  the  land,  ye  shall  keep  a 
feast  unto  the  Lord  seven  days :  on  the  first  day  shall  be  a

Is'ra-el-ites  born  shall  dwell  in  booths: 

43  "That  your  generations  may  know  that  I  made  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  to  dwell  in  booths,  when  I  brought  them 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

44  And  Mo'ses  "declared  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  the 
feasts  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

The  law  of  blasphemy  ;  of  murder. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  "Command  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  bring 
unto  thee  pure  oil  olive  beaten  for  the  light,  fto  cause  the 
lamps  to  burn  continually. 

3  Without  the  veil  of  the  testimony,  in  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  shall  Aa'ron  order  it  from  the  evening 
unto  the  morning  before  the  Lord  continually :  it  shall  be 
a  statute  for  ever  in  your  generations. 

4  He  shall  order  the  lamps  upon  'the  pure  candlestick 
before  the  Lord  continually. 

5  ^And  thou  shalt  take  fine  flour,  and  bake  twelve  "cakes 
thereof:  two  tenth  deals  shall  be  in  one  cake. 

6  And  thou  shalt  set  them  in  two  rows,  six  on  a  row, 
upon  the  pure  table  before  the  Lord. 

7  And  thou  shalt  put  pure  frankincense  upon  each  row, 
that  it  may  be  on  the  bread  for  a  memorial,  even  an  offering 
made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord. 

i  'Every  sabbath  he  shall  set  it  in  order  before  the  Lord 
continually,  being  taken  from  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  by  an 
everlasting  covenant. 

9  And  ■'^it  shall  be  Aa'ron's  and  his  sons';  "and  they  shall 
eat  it  in  the  holy  place :  for  it  is  most  holy  unto  him  of  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire  by  a  perpetual  statute. 

10  ^And  the  son  of  an  Is'ra-el-i-tish  woman,  whose  father 
was  an  E-gyp'tian,  went  out  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 
and  this  son  of  the  Is'ra-el-i-tish  woman  and  a  man  of  Is'ra-el 
strove  together  in  the  camp ; 

11  And  the  Is'ra-el-i-tish  woman's  son  ^blasphemed  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  'cursed.  And  they  ^brought  him 
unto  Mo'ses:  (and  his  mother's  name  was  "Shel'o-mith,  the 
daughter  of  Dib'ri,  of  the  tribe  of  Dan :) 

12  And  they  'put  him  in  ward,  t"that  the  mind  of  the 
Lord  might  be  shewed  them. 


day  of  this  seventh  month  is  the  feast  of  'tabernacles 

35  for  seven  days  unto  the  Lord.  On  the  first  day 
shall  be  an  holy  convocation  :  ye  shall  do  no  servile 

36  work.  Seven  days  ye  shall  offer  an  offering  made 
by  fire  unto  the  Lord  :  on  the  eighth  day  shall  be 
an  holy  convocation  unto  you;  and  ye  shall  offer 
an  offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord  :  it  is  a 
^solemn  assembly ;  ye  shall  do  no  servile  work. 

37  These  are  the  set  feasts  of  the  Lord,  which  ye 
shall  proclaim  to  be  holy  convocations,  to  offer  an 
offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord,  a  burnt  offer- 
ing, and  a  meal  offering,  a  sacrifice,  and  drink  offer- 

38  ings,  each  on  its  own  day :  beside  the  sabbaths  of 
the  Lord,  and  beside  your  gifts,  and  beside  all  your 
vows,  and  beside  all  your  freewill  offerings,  which 
ye  give  unto  the  Lord. 

39  Howbeit  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  seventh  month, 
when  ye  have  gathered  in  the  fruits  of  the  land,  ye 
shall  keep  the  feast  of  the  Lord  seven  days :  on  the 
first  day  shall  be  a  solemn  rest,  and  on  the  eighth 

40  day  shall  be  a  solemn  rest.  And  ye  shall  take  you 
on  the  first  day  the  fruit  of  goodly  trees,  branches  of 
palm  trees,  and  boughs  of  thick  trees,  and  willows 
of  the  brook ;  and  ye  shall  rejoice  before  the  Lord 

41  your  God  seven  days.  .And  ye  shall  keep  it  a  feast 
unto  the  Lord  seven  days  in  the  year :  it  is  a  statute 
for  ever  in  your  generations :  ye  shall  keep  it  in  the 

42  seventh  month.  Ye  shall  dwell  in  booths  seven 
days  ;  all  that  are  homeborn  in  Is'ra-el  shall  dwell  in 

43 booths:  that  your  generations  may  know  that  I 
made  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  to  dwell  in  booths,  when 
I  brought  them  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt :  I  am  the 

44  Lord  your  God.  And  Mo'ses  declared  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  the  set  feasts  of  the  Lord, 

4i^    'And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Command  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  bring 
unto  thee  pure  olive   oil   beaten   for  the   light,  *to 

3  cause  a  lamp  to  burn  continually.  Without  the 
veil  of  the  testimony,  in  the  tent  of  meeting,  shall 
Aa'ron  order  it  from  evening  to  morning  before  the 
Lord  continually :  it  shall  be   a   statute    for  ever 

4  throughout  your  generations.  He  shall  order  the 
lamps  upon  the  pure  candlestick  before  the  Lord 
continually. 

5  And  thou  shalt  take  fine  flour,  and  bake  twelve 
cakes  thereof:  two  tenth  parts  of  an  ephah  shall  be 

6  in  one  cake.  And  thou  shalt  set  them  in  'two  rows, 
six  on  a  row,  upon  the  pure  table  before  the  Lord. 

7  And  thou  shalt  put  pure  frankincense  upon  each 
^row,  that  it  may  be  to  the  bread  for   a   memorial, 

8  even  an  offering  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord.  Every 
sabbath  day  he  shall  set  it  in  order  before  the  Lord 
continually ;    it  is  'on  the  behalf  of  the  children  of 

9  Is'ra-el,  an  everlasting  covenant.  And  it  shall  be  for 
Aa'ron  and  his  sons ;  and  they  shall  eat  it  in  a  holy 
place :  for  it  is  most  holy  unto  him  of  the  offerings 
of  the  Lord  made  by  fire  by  a  perpetual  statute. 

10  And  the  son  of  an  Is'ra-el-i-tish  woman,  whose  father 
was  an  E-gyp'tian,  went  out  among  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el :  and  the  son  of  the  Is'ra-el-i-tish  woman  and  a 

11  man  of  Is'ra-el  strove  together  in  the  camp  ;  and  the 
son  of  the  Is'ra-el-i-tish  woman  blasphemed  the  Name, 
and  cursed :  and  they  brought  him  unto  Mo'ses. 
And  his  mother's  name  was  Shel'o-mith,  the  daughter 

12  of  Dib'ri,  of  the  tribe  of  Dan.  And  they  put  him 
in  ward,  that  it  might  be  declared  unto  them  at  the 
mouth  of  the  Lord.

13  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

14  Bring  forth  him  that  hath  cursed  without  the  camp; 
and  let  all  that  heard  him  "lay  their  hands  upon  his  head, 
and  let  all  the  congregation  stone  him. 

15  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-  el,  say- 
ing, Whosoever  curseth  his  God  "shall  bear  his  sin. 

16  And  he  that  "blasphemeth  the  name  of  the  Loed,  he 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death,  and  all  the  congregation  shall 
certainly  stone  him  :  as  well  the  stranger  as  he  that  is  born 
in  the  land,  when  he  blasphemeth  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
shall  be  put  to  death. 

17  ^"And  he  that  fkilleth  any  man  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death. 

18  ''And  he  that  killeth  a  beast  shall  make  it  good ;  f  beast 
for  beast. 

19  And  if  a  man  cause  a  blemish  in  his  neighbour;  as  'he 
hath  done,  so  shall  it  be  done  unto  him; 

20  Breach  for  breach,  eye  for  eye,  tooth  for  tooth :  as  he  hath 
caused  a  blemish  in  a  man,  so  shall  it  be  done  to  him  again. 

21  'And  he  that  killeth  a  beast,  he  shall  restore  it:  "and  he 
that  killeth  a  man,  he  shall  be  put  to  death. 

22  Ye  shall  have  ""one  manner  of  law,  as  well  for  the  stranger, 
as  for  one  of  your  own  country :  for  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

23  ^And  Mo'ses  spake  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "that 
they  should  bring  forth  him  that  had  cursed  out  of  the 
camp,  and  stone  him  with  stones :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
did  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

CHAFXER  XXV. 

Compassion  of  the  poor — Usage  of  bondmen — Redemption  of  servants. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  mount  Si'nai,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  When  ye  come  into  the  land  which  I  give  you,  then 
shall  the  land  fkeep  "a  sabbath  unto  the  Lord. 

3  Six  years  thou  shalt  sow  thy  field,  and  six  years  thou 
shalt  prune  thy  vineyard,  and  gather  in  the  fruit  thereof; 

4  But  in  the  seventh  year  shall  be  a  sabbath  of  rest  unto 
the  land,  a  sabbath  for  the  Lord  :  thou  shalt  neither  sow 
thy  field,  nor  prune  thy  vineyard. 

5  'That  which  groweth  of  its  own  accord  of  thy  harvest, 
thou  shalt  not  reap,  neither  gather  the  grapes  fof  thy  vine 
undressed :  for  it  is  a  year  of  rest  unto  the  land. 

6  And  the  sabbath  of  the  land  shall  be  meat  for  you;  for 
thee,  and  for  thy  servant,  and  for  thy  maid,  and  for  thy  hired 
servant,  and  for  thy  stranger  that  sojourneth  with  thee, 

7  And  for  thy  cattle,  and  for  the  beast  that  are  in  thy  land, 
shall  all  the  increase  thereof  be  meat. 

8  And  thou  shalt  number  seven  sabbaths  of  years  unto 
thee,  seven  times  seven  years ;  and  the  space  of  the  seven 
sabbaths  of  years  shall  be  unto  thee  forty  and  nine  years. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  cause  the  trumpet  fof  the  jubilee  to 
sound  on  the  tenth  day  of  the  seventh  month,  ''in  the  day 
of  atonement  shall  ye  make  the  trumpet  sound  throughout 
all  your  land. 

10  And  ye  shall  hallow  the  fiftieth  year,and  ''proclaim  liberty 
throughout  all  the  land,  unto  all  the  inhabitants  thereof:  it 
shall  be  a  jubilee  unto  you ;  *and  ye  shall  return  every  man  unto 
his  possession,  and  ye  shall  return  every  man  unto  his  family. 

11  A  jubilee  shall  that  fiftieth  year  be  unto  you  :  -'ye  shall 
not  sow,  neither  reap  that  which  groweth  of  itself  in  it,  nor 
gather  the,  grapes  in  it  of  thy  vine  undressed. 

12  For  it  is  the  jubilee;  it  shall  be  holy  unto  you:  'ye 
shall  eat  the  increase  thereof  out  of  the  field. 

13  *In  the  year  of  this  jubilee  ye  shall  return  every  man 
unto  his  possession. 

14  And  if  thou  sell  aught  unto  thy  neighbour,  or  buyest  aught 
of  thy  neighbour's  hand,  *ye  shall  not  oppress  one  another : 

15  *According  to  the  number  of  years  after  the  jubilee, 
thou  shalt  buy  of  thy  neighbour,  and  according  unto  the 
number  of  years  of  the  fruits  he  shall  sell  unto  thee : 


13  And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

14  Bring  forth  him  that  hath  cursed  without  the 
camp :  and  let  all  that  heard  him  lay  their  hands 
upon  his   head,  and  let  all  the  congregation  stone 

15  him.  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying.  Whosoever   curseth   his  God   shall 

16  bear  his  sin.  And  he  that  blasphemeth  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to  death;  all 
the  congregation  shall  certainly  stone  him :  as  well 
the  stranger,  as  the  homeborn,  when  he  blasphemeth 

17 the  name  of  the  Lord,  shall  be  put  to  death.  And 
he  that  smiteth  any  man  mortally  shall   surely  be 

18  put  to  death;  and  he  that  smiteth  a  beast  mortally 

19  shall  make  it  good  :  life  for  life.  And  if  a  man 
cause  a  blemish  in  his  neighbour ;  as  he  hath  done, 

20  so  shall  it  be  done  to  him ;  breach  for  breach,  eye 
for  eye,  tooth  for  tooth :  as  he  hath  caused  a  blem- 

21  ish  in  a  man,  so  shall  it  be  rendered  unto  him.  And 
he  that  killeth  a  beast  shall  make  it  good ;   and  he 

22  that  killeth  a  man  shall  be  put  to  death.  Ye  shall 
have  one  manner  of  law,  as  well  for  the  stranger,  as 
for  the  homeborn :    for  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

23  And  Mo'ses  spake  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
they  brought  forth  him  that  had  cursed  out  of  the 
camp,  and  stoned  him  with  stones.  And  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  did  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

«v     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  mount  Si'nai, 

2  saying.  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say 
unto  them,  When  ye  come  into  the  land  which  I 
give  you,  then  shall  the  land  keep  a  sabbath  unto 

3  the  Lord.  Six  years  thou  shalt  sow  thy  field,  and 
six  years  thou  shalt  prune  thy  vineyard,  and  gather 

4  in  the  fruits  thereof;  but  in  the  seventh  year  shall 
be  a  sabbath  of  solemn  rest  for  the  land,  a  sabbath 
unto  the  Lord  :  thou  shalt  neither  sow  thy  field,  nor 

5  prune  thy  vineyard.  That  which  groweth  of  itself 
of  thy  harvest  thou  shalt  not  reap,  and  the  grapes 
of  thy  undressed  vine  thou  shalt  not  gather :  it  shall 

6  be  a  year  of  solemn  rest  for  the  land.  And  the  sab- 
bath of  the  land  shall  be  for  food  for  you ;  for  thee, 
and  for  thy  servant  and  for  thy  maid,  and  for  thy 
hired  servant  and  for  thy  stranger  that  sojourn  with 

7  thee ;  and  for  thy  cattle,  and  for  the  beasts  that  are 
in  thy  land,  shall  all  the  increase  thereof  be  for  food. 

8  And  thou  shalt  number  seven  sabbaths  of  years 
unto  thee,  seven  times  seven  years;  and  there  shall 
be  unto  thee  the  days  of  seven  sabbaths  of  years, 

9  even  forty  and  nine  years.  Then  shalt  thou  send 
abroad  the  loud  trumpet  on  the  tenth  day  of  the 
seventh  month;  in  the  day  of  atonement  shall  ye 
send  abroad  the  trumpet  throughout  all  your  land. 

10  And  ye  shall  hallow  the  fiftieth  year,  and  pro- 
claim liberty  throughout  the  land  unto  all  the  in- 
habitants thereof:  it  shall  be  a  jubile  unto  you;  and 
ye  shall  return  every  man  unto  his  possession,  and 

11  ye  shall  return  every  man  unto  his  family.  A  ju- 
bile shall  that  fiftieth  year  be  unto  you:  ye  shall 
not  sow,  neither  reap  that  which  groweth  of  itself 
in  it,  nor  gather  the  grapes  in  it  of  the  undressed 

12  vines.  For  it  is  a  jubile ;  it  shall  be  holy  unto 
you :    ye  shall  eat  the  increase  thereof  out  of  the 

13  field.     In  this  year  of  jubile  ye  shall  return  every 

14  man  unto  his  possession.  And  if  thou  sell  aught 
unto    thy    neighbour,    or    buy    of  thy    neighbour's 

15 hand,  ye  shall  not  wrong  one  another;  according 
to  the  number  of  years  after  the  jubile  thou  shalt 
buy  of  thy  neighbour,  and  according  unto  the  num- 
ber of  years  of  the  crops  he  shall  sell  unto  thee.

16  According  to  the  multitude  of  years  thou  shalt  increase 
the  price  thereof,  and  according  to  the  fewness  of  years 
thou  shalt  diminish  the  price  of  it :  for  according  to  the 
number  of  the  years  of  the  fruits  doth  he  sell  unto  thee. 

17  'Ye  shall  not  therefore  oppress  one  another;  "but  thou 
shalt  fear  thy  God :  for  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

18  ^"Wherefore  ye  shall  do  my  statutes,  and  keep  my 
judgments,  and  do  them;  "and  ye  shall  dwell  in  the  land 
in  safety. 

19  And  the  land  shall  yield  her  fruit,  and  "ye  shall  eat 
your  fill,  and  dwell  therein  in  safety. 

20  And  if  ye  shall  say,  'What  shall  we  eat  the  seventh 
year?  behold,  'we  shall  not  sow,  nor  gather  in  our  increase: 

21  Then  I  will  'command  my  blessing  upon  you  in  the

restore  the  overplus  unto  the  man  to  whom  he  sold  it ;  that

within  a  full  year  may  he  redeem  it. 

30  And  if  it  be  not  redeemed  within  the  space  of  a  full 
year,  then  the  house  that  is  in  the  walled  city  shall  be  estab- 
lished for  ever  to  him  that  bought  it  throughout  his  gener- 
ations :  it  shall  not  go  out  in  the  jubilee. 

31  But  the  houses  of  the  villages  which  have  no  wall 
round  about  them  shall  be  counted  as  the  fields  of  the 
country :  fthey  may  be  redeemed,  and  they  shall  go  out  in 
the  jubilee. 

32  Notwithstanding  *the  cities  of  the  Le'vites,  and  the 
houses  of  the  cities  of  their  possession,  may  the  Le'vites 
redeem  at  any  time. 

33  And  if  ||  a  man  purchase  of  the  Le'vites,  then  the  house 
that  was  sold,  and  the  city  of  his  possession,  'shall  go  out 
in  the  year  o/ jubilee:  for  the  houses  of  the  cities  of  the 
Le'vites  are  their  possession  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

34  But  ■''^  the  field  of  the  suburbs  of  their  cities  may  not  be 
sold;  for  it  is  their  perpetual  possession. 

35  ^And  if  thy  brother  be  waxen  poor,  and  ffallen  in 
decay  with  thee ;  then  thou  shalt  frelieve  him  :  yea,  though 
he  be  a  stranger,  or  a  sojourner  ;  that  he  may  live  with  thee. 

36  '•Take  thou  no  usury  of  him,  or  increase ;  but  'fear 
thy  God ;  that  thy  brother  may  live  with  thee. 

37  Thou  shalt  not  give  him  thy  money  upon  usury,  nor 
lend  him  thy  victuals  for  increase. 

38  'I  am.  the  Lord  your  God,  which  brought  you  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  give  you  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
and  to  be  your  God. 

39  ^And  'if  thy  brother  thai  dweUeth  by  thee  be  waxen 
poor,  and  be  sold  unto  thee ;  thou  shalt  not  fcompel  him 
to  serve  as  a  bondservant : 

40  But  as  a  hired  servant,  and  as  a  sojourner,  he  shall  be 
with  thee,  and  shall  serve  thee  unto  the  year  of  jubilee : 


16  According  to  the  multitude  of  the  years  thou  shalt 
increase  the  price  thereof,  and  according  to  the  few- 
ness of  the  years  thou  shalt  diminish  the  price  of  it ; 
for  the  number  of  the  crops  doth  he  sell  unto  thee. 

17  And  ye  shall  not  wrong  one  another;  but  thou  shalt 

18  fear  thy  God :  for  I  am  the  Lord  your  God.  Where- 
fore ye  shall  do  my  statutes,  and  keep  my  judge- 
ments and  do  them ;  and  ye  shall  dwell  in  the  land 

19  in  safety.     And  the  land  shall  yield  her  fruit,  and  ye 

20  shall  eat  your  fill,  and  dwell  therein  in  safety.  And 
if  ye  shall  say.  What  shall  we  eat  the  seventh  year  ? 
behold,  we  shall  not  sow,  nor  gather  in  our  increase : 

21  then  I  will  command  my  blessing  upon  you  in  the 
sixth  year,  and  it  shall  bring  forth  fruit  for  the  three 

22  years.  And  ye  shall  sow  the  eighth  year,  and  eat 
of  the  fruits,  the  old  store;  until  the  ninth  year, 
until  her  fruits  come  in,  ye  shall  eat  the  old  store. 

23  And  the  land  shall  not  be  sold  in  perpetuity ;  for  the 
land  is  mine  :  for  ye  are  strangers  and  sojourners 

24  with  me.  And  in  all  the  land  of  your  possession  ye 
shall  grant  a  redemption  for  the  land. 

25  If  thy  brother  be  waxen  poor,  and  sell  some  of  his 
possession,  then  shall  his  kinsman  that  is  next  unto 
him  come,  and  shall  redeem  that  which  his  brother 

26  hath  sold.  And  if  a  man  have  no  one  to  redeem  it, 
and  he  be  waxen  rich  and  find  sufficient  to  redeem 

27  it ;  then  let  him  count  the  years  of  the  sale  thereof, 
and  restore  the  overplus  unto  the  man  to  whom  he 
sold  it;   and  he  shall  return  unto  his   possession. 

28  But  if  he  be  not  able  to  get  it  back  for  himself,  then 
that  which  he  hath  sold  shall  remain  in  the  hand  of 
him  that  hath  bought  it  until  the  year  of  jubile  :  and 
in  the  jubile  it  shall  go  out,  and  he  shall  return  unto 
his  possession. 

29  And  if  a  man  sell  a  dwelling  house  in  a  walled 
city,  then  he  may  redeem  it  within  a  whole  year 
after  it  is  sold;  for  a  full  year  shall  he  have  the 

30  right  of  redemption.  And  if  it  be  not  redeemed 
within  the  space  of  a  full  year,  then  the  house  that 
is  in  the  walled  city  shall  be  made  sure  in  perpetuity 
to  him  that  bought  it,  throughout  his  generations : 

31  it  shall  not  go  out  in  the  jubile.  But  the  houses  of 
the  villages  which  have  no  wall  round  about  them 
shall  be  reckoned  with  the  fields  of  the  country : 
they  may  be  redeemed,  and  they  shall  go  out  in  the 

32jubile.  Nevertheless  the  cities  of  the  Le-vites,  the 
houses  of  the  cities  of  their  possession,  may  the  Le'- 

33  vites  redeem  at  any  time.  And  if  'one  of  the  Le'vites 
^redeem,  then  the  house  that  was  sold,  and  the  city 
of  his  possession,  shall  go  out  in  the  jubile  :  for  the 
houses  of  the  cities  of  the  Le'vites  are  their  posses- 

34sion  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  But  the  field 
of  the  ^suburbs  of  their  cities  may  not  be  sold ;  for  it 
is  their  perpetual  possession. 

35  And  if  thy  brother  be  waxen  poor,  and  his  hand 
fail  with  thee ;  then  thou  shalt  ^uphold  him :  as  a 
stranger  and  a  sojourner  shall  he  live  with  thee. 

36 Take  thou  no  usury  of  him  or  increase;  but  fear 
thy  God :    that  thy  brother  may  live    with  thee. 

37  Thou  shalt  not  give  him  thy  money  upon   usury, 

38  nor  give  him  thy  victuals  for  increase.  I  am  the 
Lord  your  God,  which  brought  you  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  to  give  you  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  to 
be  your  God. 

39  And  if  thy  brother  be  waxen  poor  with  thee, 
and   sell  himself  unto  thee;   thou  shalt  not  make 

40  him  to  serve  as  a  bondservant :  as  an  hired  serv- 
ant, and  as  a  sojourner,  he  shall  be  with  thee; 
he  shall  serve  with  thee  unto  the  year  of  jubile :

41  And  then  shall  he  depart  from  thee,  both  he  and  his 
children  ""with  him,  and  shall  return  unto  his  own  family, 
and  "unto  the  possession  of  his  fathers  shall  he  return. 

42  For  they  are  °my  servants,  which  I  brought  forth  out 
of'the  land  of  E'gypt :  they  shall  not  be  sold  fas  bondmen. 

43  "Thou  shalt  not  rule  over  him  'with  rigour ;  but  ""shalt 
fear  thy  God. 

44  Both  thy  bondmen,  and  thy  bondmaids,  which  thou 
shalt  have,  shall  be  of  the  heathen  that  are  round  about  you ; 
of  them  shall  ye  buy  bondmen  and  bondmaids. 

45  Moreover,  of  'the  children  of  the  strangers  that  do 
sojourn  among  you,  of  them  shall  ye  buy,  and  of  their 
families  that  are  with  you,  which  they  begat  in  your  land : 
and  they  shall  be  your  possession. 

46  And  'ye  shall  take  them  as  an  inheritance  for  your  chil- 
dren after  you,  to  inherit  them  for  a  possession ;  fthey  shall  be 
your  bondmen  for  ever :  but  over  your  brethren  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  "ye  shall  not  rule  one  over  another  with  rigour. 

47  ^And  if  a  sojourner  or  a  stranger  f  wax  rich  by  thee, 
and  "'thy  brother  that  dwelleth  by  him  wax  poor,  and  sell 
himself  unto  the  stranger  or  sojourner  by  thee,  or  to  the 
stock  of  the  stranger's  family : 

48  After  that  he  is  sold  he  may  be  redeemed  again ;  one 
of  his  brethren  may  "redeem  him : 

49  Either  his  uncle,  or  his  uncle's  son  may  redeem  him, 
or  any  that  is  nigh  of  kin  unto  him  of  his  family  may  redeem 
him ;  or  if  'he  be  able,  he  may  redeem  himself. 

50  And  he  shall  reckon  with  him  that  bought  him  from 
the  year  that  he  was  sold  to  him  unto  the  year  of  jubilee : 
and  the  price  of  his  sale  shall  be  according  unto  the  num- 
ber of  years,  "according  to  the  time  of  a  hired  servant  shall 
it  be  with  him. 

51  If  there  be  yet  many  years  behind,  according  unto  them 
he  shall  give  again  the  price  of  his  redemption  out  of  the 
money  that  he  was  bought  for. 

52  And  if  there  remain  but  few  years  unto  the  year  of 
jubilee,  then  he  shall  count  with  him,  and  according  unto  his 
years  shall  he  give  him  again  the  price  of  his  redemption. 

53  And  as  a  yearly  hired  servant  shall  he  be  with  him :  and 
the  other  shall  not  rule  with  rigour  over  him  in  thy  sight. 

54  And  if  he  be  not  redeemed  ||  in  these  years, then  ""he  shall 
go  out  in  the  year  of  jubilee,6o<A  he,and  his  children  with  him. 

55  For  "unto  me  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  are  servants ;  they 
are  my  servants  whom  I  brought  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

CHAPTER  XXVI. 

A  blessing  to  ihem  that  keep  the  commandments — A  curse  to  those  thai  break  them. 

YE  shall  make  you  "no  idols  nor  graven  image,  neither 
rear  you  up  a  ||  standing  image,  neither  shall  ye  set  up 
any  ||  fimage  of  stone  in  your  land,  to  bow  down  unto  it: 
for  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

2  ^''Ye  shall  keep  my  sabbaths,  and  reverence  my  sanc- 
tuary :  I  am  the  Lord. 

3  ^"If  ye  walk  in  my  statutes  and  keep  my  command- 
ments, and  do  them ; 

4  ''Then  I  will  give  you  rain  in  due  season,  'and  the  land 
shall  yield  her  increase,  and  the  trees  of  the  field  shall  yield 
their  fruit : 

5  And-^your  threshing  shall  reach  unto  the  vintage,  and 
the  vintage  shall  reach  unto  the  sowing  time ;  and  'ye  shall 
eat  your  bread  to  the  full,  and  'dwell  in  your  land  safely. 

6  And  'I  will  give  peace  in  the  land,  and  *ye  shall  lie  down, 
and  none  shall  make  you  afraid :  and  I  will  frid  'evil  beasts 
out  of  the  land,  neither  shall  ""the  sword  go  through  your  land. 

7  And  ye  shall  chase  your  enemies,  and  they  shall  fall  be- 
fore you  by  the  sword. 

8  And  "five  of  you  shall  chase  a  hundred,  and  a  hundred 
of  you  shall  put  ten  thousand  to  flight :  and  your  enemies 
shall  fall  before  you  by  the  sword. 


41  then  shall  he  go  out  from  thee,  he  and  his  children 
with  him,  and  shall  return  unto  his  own  family, 
and  unto  the  possession  of  his  fathers  shall  he  re- 

42  turn.  For  they  are  my  servants,  which  I  brought 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt :  they   shall  not  be 

43  sold  as  bondmen.     Thou  shalt  not  rule  over  him 

44  with  rigour ;  but  shalt  fear  thy  God.  And  as  for 
thy  bondmen,  and  thy  bondmaids,  which  thou  shalt 
have;  of  the  nations  that  are  round  about  you,  of 

45  them  shall  ye  buy  bondmen  and  bondmaids.  More- 
over of  the  children  of  the  strangers  that  do  so- 
journ among  you,  of  them  shall  ye  buy,  and  of 
their  families  that  are  with  you,  which  they  have  be- 
gotten in  your  land :  and   they  shall   be  your  pos- 

46  session.  And  ye  shall  make  them  an  inheritance 
for  your  children  after  you,  to  hold  for  a  possession ; 
of  them  shall  ye  take  your  bondmen  for  ever :  but 
over  your  brethren  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  ye  shall 
not  rule,  one  over  another,  with  rigour. 

47  And  if  a  stranger  or  sojourner  with  thee  be  waxen 
rich,  and  thy  brother  be  waxen  poor  beside  him,  and 
sell  himself  unto  the  stranger  or  sojourner  with  thee, 

48  or  to  the  stock  of  the  stranger's  family :  after  that 
he  is  sold  he  may  be  redeemed ;  one  of  his  brethren 

49  may  redeem  him :  or  his  uncle,  or  his  uncle's  son, 
may  redeem  him,  or  any  that  is  nigh  of  kin  unto 
him  of  his  family  may   redeem  him ;  or  if  he  be 

50  waxen  rich,  he  may  redeem  himself.  And  he  shall 
reckon  with  him  that  bought  him  from  the  year  that 
he  sold  himself  to  him  unto  the  year  of  jubile:  and 
the  price  of  his  sale  shall  be  according  unto  the 
number  of  years ;  according  to  the  time  of  an  hired 

51  servant  shall  he  be  with  him.  If  there  be  yet  many 
years,  according  unto  them  he  shall  give  back  the 
price  of  his  redemption  out  of  the  money  that  he 

52  was  bought  for.  And  if  there  remain  but  few  years 
unto  the  year  of  jubile,  then  he  shall  reckon  with 
him;  according  unto  his  years  shall  he  give  back 

53  the  price  of  his  redemption.  As  a  servant  hired 
year  by  year  shall  he  be  with  him :  he  shall  not  rule 

54  with  rigour  over  him  in  thy  sight.  And  if  he  be  not 
redeemed  'by  these  means,  then  he  shall  go  out  in 
the  year  of  jubile,  he,  and  his  children  with  him. 

55 For  unto  me  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  are  servants; 
they  are  my  servants  whom  I  brought  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

26     Ye  shall  make  you  no  ^idols,  neither  shall  ye  rear 

you  up  a  graven  image,  or  %  pillar,  neither  shall  ye 

place  any  figured  stone  in  your  land,  to  bow  down 

2*unto  it:  for  I  am  the  Lord  your  God.     Ye  shall 

keep  my  sabbaths,  and  reverence  my  sanctuary :  I 

am  the  Lord. 

3     If  ye   walk  in   my  statutes,  and   keep  my  com- 

4mandments,  and   do   them;    then  I  will  give  your 

rains  in  their  season,  and  the  land   shall  yield  her 

increase,  and  the  trees  of  the  field  shall  yield  their 

5  fruit.  And  your  threshing  shall  reach  unto  the  vin- 
tage, and  the  vintage  shall  reach  unto  the  sowing 
time :  and  ye  shall  eat  your  bread  to  the  full,  and 

6  dwell  in  your  land  safely.  And  I  will  give  peace 
in  the  land,  and  ye  shall  lie  down,  and  none  shall 
make  you  afraid:  and  I  will  cause  evil  beasts 
to  cease  out  of  the   land,  neither  shall  the  sword 

7  go  through  your  land.  And  ye  shall  chase  your 
enemies,    and    they    shall    fall    before    you  by  the 

8  sword.  And  five  of  you  shall  chase  an  hundred,  and 
an  hundred  of  you  shall  chase  ten  thousand :  and 
your  enemies  shall  fall  before  you  by  the  sword.

''consumption,  and  the  burning  ague,  that  shall 
the  eyes,  and  cause  sorrow  of  heart :  and  ''ye 
your  seed  in  vain ;  for  your  enemies  shall  eat  it. 


9  For  I  will  "have  respect  unto  you,  and  ^make  you  fruit- 
ful, and  multiply  you,  and  establish  my  covenant  with  you. 

10  And  ye  shall  eat  'old  store,  and  bring  forth  the  old  be- 
cause of  the  new. 

1 1  'And  I  will  set  my  tabernacle  among  you :  and  my  soul 
sliall  not  'abhor  you. 

12  'And  I  will  walk  among  you,  and  "will  be  your  God, 
and  ye  shall  be  my  people. 

13  "I  am  the  Lord  your  God,  which  brought  you  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  that  ye  should  not  be  their  bond- 
men ;  ""and  I  have  broken  the  bands  of  your  yoke,  and  made 
you  go  upright. 

14  ^"But  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  me,  and  will  not  do 
all  these  commandments; 

15  And  if  ye  shall  'despise  my  statutes,  or  if  your  soul 
abhor  my  judgments,  so  that  ye  will  not  do  all  my  com- 
mandments, but  that  ye  break  my  covenant : 

16  I  also  will  do  this  unto  you  ;  I  will  even  appoint  fover 
you  "terror,

17  And  *I  will  set  my  face  against  you,  and  -^ye  shall  be 
slain  before  your  enemies  :  "they  that  hate  you  shall  reign 
over  you,  and  ''ye  shall  flee  when  none  pursueth  you. 

18  And  if  ye  will  not  yet  for  all  this  hearken  unto  me, 
then  I  will  punish  you  'seven  times  more  for  your  sins. 

19  And  I  will  *break  the  pride  of  your  power;  and  I 
'will  make  your  heaven  as  iron,  and  your  eai^t^  as  brass : 

20  And  your  "strength  shall  be  spent  in  vain  :  for  "your 
land  shall  not  yield  her  increase,  neither  shall  the  trees  of 
the  land  yield  their  fruits. 

21  ^[And  if  ye  walk  ||contrary  unto  me,  and  will  not

rob  you  of  your  children,  and  destroy  your  cattle,  and  make 
you  few  in  number ;  and  "your  high  ways  shall  be  desolate.

the  quarrel  of  my  covenant :  and  when  ye  are  gathered  to- 
gether within  your  cities,  'I  will  send  the  pestilence  among 
you  ;  and  ye  shall  be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  enemy. 

26  "And  when  I  have  broken  the  staff  of  your  bread,  ten 
women  shall  bake  your  bread  in  one  oven,  and  they  shall 
deliver  you  your  bread  again  by  weight :  and  ''ye  shall  eat, 
and  not  be  satisfied. 

27  And  "if  ye  will  not  for  all  this  hearken  unto  me,  but 
walk  contrary  unto  me; 

28  Then  I  will  walk  contrary  unto  you  also  'in  fury ;  and 
I,  even  I,  will  chastise  you  seven  times  for  your  sins. 

29  "And  ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  your  sons,  and  the  flesh 
of  your  daughters  shall  ye  eat. 

30  And  ''I  will  destroy  your  high  places,  and  cut  down 
your  images,  and  ''cast  your  carcasses  upon  the  carcasses  of 
your  idols,  and  my  soul  shall  ''abhor  you. 

31  'And  I  will  make  your  cities  waste,  and  -tring  your 
sanctuaries  unto  desolation,  and  I  will  not  smell  the  savour 
of  your  sweet  odours. 

32  "And  I  will  bring  the  land  into  desolation :  and  your 
enemies  which  dwell  therein  shall  be  ^astonished  at  it. 

33  And  I  will  scatter  you  among  the  heathen,  and  will 
draw  out  a  sword  after  you :  and  your  land  shall  be  desolate, 
and  your  cities  waste. 

34  *Then  shall  the  land  enjoy  her  sabbaths,  as  long  as  it 
lieth  desolate,  and  ye  be  in  your  enemies'  land;  even  then 
shall  the  land  rest,  and  enjoy  her  sabbaths. 


9  And  I  will  have  respect  unto  you,  and  make  you 
fruitful,  and  multiply   you ;    and  will  establish  my 

10  covenant  with  you.  And  ye  shall  eat  old  store  long 
kept,  and  ye  shall  bring  forth  the  old  'because  of  the 

11  new.     And    I    will   set  my  tabernacle  among  you: 

12  and  my  soul  shall  not  abhor  you.  And  I  will  walk 
among  you,  and  will  be  your  God,  and  ye  shall  be 

13  my  people.  I  am  the  Lord  your  God,  which  brought 
you  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  that  ye  should 
not  be  their  bondmen ;  and  I  have  broken  the  bars 
of  your  yoke,  and  made  you  go  upright. 

14  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  me,  and  will  not 

15  do  all  these  commardments ;  and  if  ye  shall  reject 
my  statutes,  and  if  your  soul  abhor  my  judgements, 
so  that  ye  will  not  do  all  my  commandments,  but 

16  break  my  covenant ;  I  also  will  do  this  unto  you  ;  I 
will  appoint  terror  over  you,  even  consumption  and 
fever,  that  shall  consume  the  eyes,  and  make  the 
soul  to  pine  away :  and  ye  shall  sow  your  seed  in 

17  vain,  for  your  enemies  shall  eat  it.  And  I  will  set 
my  face  against  you,  and  ye  shall  be  smitten  before 
your  enemies:  they  that  hate  you  shall  rule  over 
you ;   and  ye  shall  flee   when   none  pursueth  you. 

18  And  if  ye  will  not  yet  for  these  things  hearken  unto 
me,  then  I  will  chastise  you  seven  times  more  for 

19  your  sins.  And  I  will  break  the  pride  of  your 
power ;  and  I  will  make  your  heaven  as  iron,  and 

20  your  earth  as  brass  :  and  your  strength  shall  be  spent 
in  vain :  for  your  land  shall  not  yield  her  increase, 
neither  shall  the  trees  of  the  land  yield   their  fruit, 

21  And  if  ye  walk  contrary  unto  me,  and  will  not 
hearken  unto  me ;  I  will  bring  seven    times   more 

22  plagues  upon  you  according  to  your  sins.  And  I 
will  send  the  beast  of  the  field  among  you,  which 
shall  rob  you  of  your  children,  and  destroy  your 
cattle,  and  make  you  few  in  number ;  and  your  ways 

23  shall  become  desolate.  And  if  by  these  things  ye 
will  not  be  reformed  ^unto  me,  but  will  walk  con 

24  trary  unto  me  ;  then  will  I  also  walk  contrary  unto 
you ;  and  I  will  smite  you,  even  I,  seven  times  for 

25  your  sins.  And  I  will  bring  a  sword  upon  you,  that 
shall  execute  the  vengeance  of  the  covenant ;  and  ye 
shall  be  gathered  together  within  your  cities  :  and  I 
will  send  the  pestilence  among  you  ;  and  ye  shall  be 

26  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  enemy.  When  I  break 
your  staff  of  bread,  ten  women  shall  bake  your  bread 
in  one  oven,  and  they  shall  deliver  your  bread  again 
by  weight :  and  ye  shall  eat,  and  not  be  satisfied. 

27  And  if  ye  will  not  for  all  this  hearken  unto   me, 

28  but  walk  contrary  unto  me ;  then  I  will  walk  con^ 
trary  unto  you  in  fury ;  and    I    also   will   chastise 

29  you  seven  times  for  your  sins.  And  ye  shall  eat 
the  flesh  of  your  sons,  and  the  flesh  of  your  daugh- 

30ters  shall  ye  eat.  And  I  will  destroy  your  high 
places,  and  cut  down  your  sun-images,  and  cast 
your   carcases    upon    the   carcases   of  your    idols ; 

31  and  my  soul  shall  abhor  you.  And  I  will  make 
your  cities  a  waste,  and  will  bring  your  sanctuaries 
unto    desolation,    and    I  will  not  smell  the  savour 

32  of  your  sweet  odours.  And  I  will  bring  the  land 
into   desolation :   and    your    enemies   which    dwell 

33  therein  shall  be  astonished  at  it.  And  you  will 
I  scatter  among  the  nations,  and  I  will  draw  out 
the    sword   after   you :   and   your  land   shall  be  a 

34  desolation,  and  your  cities  shall  be  a  waste.  Then 
shall  the  land  enjoy  her  sabbaths,  as  long  as  it  lieth 
desolate,  and  ye  be  in  your  enemies'  land ;  even 
then    shall  the  land  rest,  and  enjoy  her  sabbaths.

35  As  long  as  it  lieth  desolate  it  shall  rest ;  because  it  did 
not  rest  in  your  'sabbaths,  when  ye  dwelt  upon  it. 

36  And  upon  them  that  are  left  alive  of  you,  "'I  will  send  a 
faintness  into  their  hearts  in  the  lands  of  their  enemies ;  and 
"the  sound  of  a  fshaken  leaf  shall  chase  them ;  and  they  shall  flee, 
as  fleeing  from  a  sword ;  and  theyshall  fall  when  none  pursueth. 

37  And  "they  shall  fall  one  upon  another,  as  it  were  before 
a  sword,  when  none  pursueth :  and  ^ye  shall  have  no  power 
to  stand  before  your  enemies. 

38  And  ye  shall  perish  among  the  heathen,  and  the  land 
of  your  enemies  shall  eat  you  up. 

39  And  they  that  are  left  of  you  'shall  pine  away  in  their 
iniquity  in  your  enemies'  lands;  and  also  in  the  iniquities 
of  their  fathers  shall  they  pine  away  with  them. 

40  'If  they  shall  confess  their  iniquity,  and  the  iniquity  of 
their  fathers,  with  their  trespass  which  they  trespassed  against 
me,  and  that  also  they  have  walked  contrary  unto  me ; 

41  And  that  I  also  have  walked  contrary  unto  them,  and 
have  brought  them  into  the  land  of  their  enemies;  if  then 
their  'uncircumcised  hearts  be  'humbled,  and  they  then  ac- 
cept of  the  punishment  of  their  iniquity : 

42  Then  will  I  "remember  my  covenant  with  Ja'cob,  and 
also  my  covenant  with  I'saac,  and  also  my  covenant  with 
A'bra-ham  will  I  remember :  and  I  will  "^remember  the  land. 

43  "The  land  also  shall  be  left  of  them,  and  shall  enjoy 
her  sabbaths,  while  she  lieth  desolate  without  them:  and 
they  shall  accept  of  the  punishment  of  their  iniquity ;  be- 
cause, even  because  they  'despised  my  judgments,  and  be- 
cause their  soul  abhorred  my  statutes. 

44  And  yet  for  all  that,  when  they  be  in  the  land  of  their 
enemies,  "I  will  not  cast  them  away,  neither  will  I  abhor 
them,  to  destroy  them  utterly,  and  to  break  my  covenant 
with  them :  for  I  am  the  Lord  their  God. 

45  But  I  will  'for  their  sakes  remember  the  covenant  of 
their  ancestors,  "whom  I  brought  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt  ''in  the  sight  of  the  heathen,  that  I  might  be  their 
God:  I  am  the  Lord. 

46  "These  are  the  statutes  and  judgments  and  laws,  which 
the  Lord  made  between  him  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  ■'^in 
mount  Si'nai  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

CHAPTER  XXVII. 

J/e  that  maketh  a  singular  vow  must  be  the  Lord's, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  childrenof  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
"When  a  man  shall  make  a  singular  vow,  the  persons  shall 
be  for  the  Lord  by  thy  estimation. 

3  And  thy  estimation  shall  be  of  the  male  from  twenty  years 
old  even  unto  sixty  years  old,  even  thy  estimation  shall  be 
fifty  shekels  of  silver,  'after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary. 

4  And  if  it  be  a  female,  then  thy  estimation  shall  be  thirty 
shekels. 

5  And  if  it  be  from  five  years  old  even  unto  twenty  years 
old,  then  thy  estimation  shall  be  of  the  male  twenty  shekels, 
and  for  the  female  ten  shekels. 

6  And  if  it  be  from  a  month  old  even  unto  five  years  old,  then 
thy  estimation  shall  be  of  the  male  five  shekels  of  silver,  and 
for  the  female  thy  estimation  shall  be  three  shekels  of  silver. 

7  And  if  it  be  from  sixty  years  old  and  above;  liit  be  a 
male,  then  thy  estimation  shall  be  fifteen  shekels,  and  for  the 
female  ten  shekels. 

8  But  if  he  be  poorer  than  thy  estimation,  then  he  shall  pre- 
sent himself  berore  the  priest,  and  the  priest  shall  value  him ; 
according  to  his  ability  that  vowed  shall  the  priest  value  him. 

9  And  if  it  be  a  beast,  whereof  men  bring  an  offering  unto 
the  Lord,  all  that  any  man  giveth  of  such  unto  the  Lord 
shall  be  holy. 

10  He  shall  not  alter  it,  nor  change  it,  a  good  for  a  bad,  or 
a  bad  for  a  good :  and  if  he  shall  at  all  change  beast  for  beast, 
then  it  and  the  exchange  thereof  shall  be  holy. 


35  As  long  as  it  lieth  desolate  it  shall  have  rest ;  even 
the  rest  which  it  had  not  in  your  sabbaths,  when  ye 

36  dwelt  upon  it.  And  as  for  them  that  are  left  of  you, 
I  will  send  a  faintness  into  their  heart  in  the  lands  of 
their  enemies :  and  the  sound  of  a  driven  leaf  shall 
chase  them ;  and  they  shall  flee,  as  one  fleeth  from 
the  sword ;  and  they  shall  fell  when  none  pursueth. 

37  And  they  shall  stumble  one  upon  another,  as  it  were 
before  the  sword,  when  none  pursueth  :  and  ye  shall 

38  have  no  power  to  stand  before  your  enemies.  And 
ye  shall  perish  among  the  nations,  and  the  land  of 

39  your  enemies  shall  eat  you  up.  And  they  that  are 
left  of  you  shall  pine  away  in  their  iniquity  in  your 
enemies'  lands ;  and  also  in  the  iniquities  of  their 

40  fathers  shall  they  pine  away  with  them.  And  they 
shall  confess  their  iniquity,  and  the  iniquity  of  their 
fathers,  in  their  trespass  which  they  trespassed 
against  me,  and  also  that  because  they  have  walked 

41  contrary  unto  me,  I  also  walked  contrary  unto  them, 
and  brought  them  into  the  land  of  their  enemies:  if 
then  their  uncircumcised  heart  be  humbled,  and  they 

42  then  accept  of  the  punishment  of  their  iniquity ;  then 
will  I  remember  my  covenant  with  Ja'cob ;  and  also 
my  covenant  with  I'saac,  and  also  my  covenant  with 
A'bra-ham  will  I  remember ;  and  I  will  remember  the 

43  land.  The  land  also  shall  be  left  of  them,  and  shall 
enjoy  her  sabbaths,  while  she  lieth  desolate  without 
them;  and  they  shall  accept  of  the  punishment  of 
their  iniquity:  because,  even  because  they  rejected 
my  judgements,  and  their  soul  abhorred  my  statutes. 

44  And  yet  for  all  that,  when  they  be  in  the  land  of 
their  enemies,  I  will  not  reject  them,  neither  will  I 
abhor  them,  to  destroy  them  utterly,  and  to  break 
my  covenant  with  them :  for  I  am  the  LoRD  their 

45  God :  but  I  will  for  their  sakes  remember  the  cove- 
nant of  their  ancestors,  whom  I  brought  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt  in  the  sight  of  the  nations,  that  I 
might  be  their  God:  I  am  the  Lord. 

46  These  are  the  statutes  and  judgements  and  laws, 
which  the  Lord  made  between  him  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  in  mount  Si'nai  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

^*     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,   saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them. 
When  a  man  shall  'accomplish  a  vow,  Hhe  persons 

3  shall  be  for  the  Lord  by  thy  estimation.  And  thy 
estimation  shall  be  of  the  male  from  twenty  years 
old  even  unto  sixty  years  old,  even  thy  estimation 
shall  be  fifty  shekels  of  silver,  after  the  shekel  of  the 

4  sanctuary.     And  if  it  be  a  female,  then  thy  estima- 

5  tion  shall  be  thirty  shekels.  And  if  it  be  from  five 
years  old  even  unto  twenty  years  old,  then  thy  esti- 
mation shall  be  of  the  male  twenty  shekels,  and  for 

6  the  female  ten  shekels.  And  if  it  be  from  a  month 
old  even  unto  five  years  old,  then  thy  estimation  shall 
be  of  the  male  five  shekels  of  silver,  and  for  the 
female  thy  estimation  shall  be  three  shekels  of  silver. 

7  And  if  it  be  from  sixty  years  old  and  upward ;  if  it 
be  a  male,  then  thy  estimation  shall  be  fifteen  shekels, 

8  and  for  the  female  ten  shekels.  But  if  he  be  poorer 
than  thy  estimation,  then  he  shall  be  set  before  the 
priest,  and  the  priest  shall  value  him ;  according  to  the 
ability  of  him  that  vowed  shall  the  priest  value  him. 

9  And  if  it  be  a  beast,  whereof  men  oflfer  an  obla- 
tion v.nto  the  Lord,  all  that  any  man  giveth  of  such 

10  unto  the  Lord  shall  be  holy.  He  shall  not  alter  it, 
nor  change  it,  a  good  for  a  bad,  or  a  bad  for  a  good  : 
and  if  he  shall  at  all  change  beast  for  beast,  then 
both  it  and  that  for  which  it  is  changed  shall  be  holy.

11  And  if  it  be  any  unclean  beast,  of  which  they  do  not 
offer  a  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord,  then  he  shall  present  the 
beast  before  the  priest : 

12  And  the  priest  shall  value  it,  whether  it  be  good  or  bad : 
fas  thou  valuest  it,  who  art  the  priest,  so  shall  it  be. 

13  "But  if  he  will  at  all  redeem  it,  then  he  shall  add  a  fifth 
part  thereof  unto  thy  estimation. 

14  ^And  when  a  man  shall  sanctify  his  house  to  be  holy 
unto  the  Lobd,  then  the  priest  shall  estimate  it,  whether  it  be 
good  or  bad :  as  the  priest  shall  estimate  it,  so  shall  it  stand. 

15  ''And  if  he  that  sanctified  it  will  redeem  his  house,  then 
he  shall  add  the  fifth  part  of  the  money  of  thy  estimation 
unto  it,  and  it  shall  be  his. 

16  And  if  a  man  shall  sanctify  unto  the  Lord  some  part 
of  a  field  of  his  possession,  then  thy  estimation  shall  be  ac- 
cording to  the  seed  thereof:  ||a  homer  of  barley  seed  sAaW 
be  valued  at  fifty  shekels  of  silver. 

17  If  he  sanctify  his  field  from  the  year  of  jubilee,  accord- 
ing to  thy  estimation  it  shall  stand. 

18  But  if  he  sanctify  his  field  after  the  jubilee,  then  the 
priest  shall  'reckon  unto  him  the  money  according  to  the 
years  that  remain,  even  unto  the  year  of  the  jubilee,  and  it 
shall  be  abated  from  thy  estimation. 

19  -'And  if  he  that  sanctified  the  field  will  in  any  wise  re- 
deem it,  then  he  shall  add  the  fifth  part  of  the  money  of 
thy  estimation  unto  it,  and  it  shall  be  assured  to  him. 

20  And  if  he  will  not  redeem  the  field,  or  if  he  have  sold 
the  field  to  another  man,  it  shall  not  be  redeemed  any  more. 

21  But  the  field,  "when  it  goeth  out  in  the  jubilee,  shall 
be  holy  unto  the  Lord,  as  a  field  *devoted  ;  'the  possession 
thereof  shall  be  the  priest's. 

22  And  if  a  man  sanctify  unto  the  Lord  a  field  which  he 
hath  bought,  which  is  not  of  the  fields  of  *his  possession ; 

23  'Then  the  priest  shall  reckon  unto  him  the  worth  of

25  And  all  thy  estimations  shall  be  according  to  the 
shekel  of  the  sanctuary :  "twenty  gerahs  shall  be  the  shekel.

the  Lord's  firstling,  no  man  shall  sanctify  it ;  whether  it  be 
ox,  or  sheep :  it  is  the  Lord's.

it  according  to  thine  estimation,  "and  shall  add  a  fifth  part

according  to  thy  estimation. 

28  'Notwithstanding,  no  devoted  thing,  that  a  man  shall 
devote  unto  the  Lord  of  all  that  he  hath,  both  of  man  and 
beast,  and  of  the  field  of  his  possession,  shall  be  sold  or

he  shall  add  thereto  the  fifth  part  thereof. 

32  And  concerning  the  tithe  of  the  herd,  or  of  the  flock, 
even  of  whatsoever  "passeth  under  the  rod,  the  tenth  shall 
be  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

33  He  shall  not  search  whether  it  be  good  or  bad,  'neither 
shall  he  change  it :  and  if  he  change  it  at  all,  then  both  it 
and  the  change  thereof  shall  be  holy ;  it  shall  not  be  re- 
deemed. 

34  "These  are  the  commandments  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'ses  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in  mount  Si'nai. 


11  And  if  it  be  any  unclean  beast,  of  which  they  do  not 
offer  an  oblation  unto  the  Lord,  then  he  shall  set  the 

12 beast  before  the  priest:  and  the  priest  shall  value 
it,  whether  it  be  good  or  bad :  as  thou  the  priest 

13  valuest  it,  so  shall  it  be.  But  if  he  will  indeed  re 
deem  it,  then  he  shall  add  the  fifth  part  thereof  unto 
thy  estimation. 

14  And  when  a  man  shall  sanctify  his  house  to  be 
holy  unto  the  Lord,  then  the  priest  shall  estimate 
it,  whether  it  be  good  or  bad :  as  the  priest  shall 

15  estimate  it,  so  shall  it  stand.  And  if  he  that  sanc- 
tified it  will  redeem  his  house,  then  he  shall  add  the 
fifth  part  of  the  money  of  thy  estimation  unto  it,  and 
it  shall  be  his. 

16  And  if  a  man  shall  sanctify  unto  the  Lord  part 
of  the  field  of  his  possession,  then  thy  estimation 
shall  be  according  to  the  sowing  thereof:  the  sowing 
of  a  homer  of  barley  shall  be  valued  at  fifty  shekels 

17  of  silver.  If  he  sanctify  his  field  from  the  year  of 
jubile,  according  to  thy  estimation  it  shall  stand 

18  But  if  he  .sanctify  his  field  after  the  jubile,  then  the 
priest  shall  reckon  unto  him  the  money  according 
to  the  years  that  remain  unto  the  year  of  jubile,  and 
an   abatement  shall  be  made  from  thy  estimation. 

19  And  if  he  that  sanctified  the  field  will  indeed  redeem 
it,  then  he  shall  add  the  fifth  part  of  the  money  of 
thy  estimation   unto  it,  and  it  shall   be  assured  to 

20  him.  And  if  he  will  not  redeem  the  field,  or  if  he 
have  sold  the  field  to  another  man,  it  shall  not  be  re 

21  deemed  any  more  :  but  the  field,  when  it  goeth  out 
in  the  jubile,  shall  be  holy  unto  the  Lord,  as  a  field 
devoted  ;  the  possession  thereof  shall  be  the  priest's. 

22  And  if  he  sanctify  unto  the  Lord  a  field  which  he 
hath  bought,  which  is  not  of  the  field  of  his  posses 

23  sion  ;  then  the  priest  shall  reckon  unto  him  the  worth 
of  thy  estimation  unto  the  year  of  jubile :  and  he 
shall  give  thine  estimation  in  that  day,  as  a  holy  thing 

24  unto  the  Lord.  In  the  year  of  jubile  the  field  shall 
return  unto  him  of  whom  it  was  bought,  even  to  him 

25  to  whom  the  possession  of  the  land  belongeth.  And 
all  thy  estimations  shall  be  according  to  the  shekel 
of  the  sanctuary  :  twenty  gerahs  shall  be  the  shekel. 

26  Only  the  firstling  among  beasts,  which  is  made  a 
firstling  to  the  Lord,  no   man    shall   sanctify   it 

27  whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep,  it  is  the  Lord's.  And  if 
it  be  of  an  unclean  beast,  then  he  shall  ransom  it 
according  to  thine  estimation,  and  shall  add  unto  it 
the  fifth  part  thereof:  or  if  it  be  not  redeemed,  then 
it  shall  be  sold  according  to  thy  estimation. 

28  Notwithstanding,  no  devoted  thing,  that  a  man 
shall  devote  unto  the  Lord  of  all  that  he  hath, 
whether  of  man  or  beast,  or  of  the  field  of  his  posseS' 
sion,  shall  be  sold  or  redeemed :  every  devoted  thing 

29  is  most  holy  unto  the  Lord.  None  devoted,  which 
shall  be  devoted  of  men,  shall  be  ransomed ;  he  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death. 

30  And  all  the  tithe  of  the  land,  whether  of  the  seed 
of  the  land,  or  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree,  is  the  Lord's  : 

31  it  is  holy  unto  the  Lord.  And  if  a  man  will  redeem 
aught  of  his  tithe,  he  shall  add  unto  it  the  fifth  part 

32  thereof  And  all  the  tithe  of  the  herd  or  the  flock, 
whatsoever  passeth  under  the  rod,  the  tenth  shall 

33  be  holy  unto  the  Lord.  He  shall  not  search  whether 
it  be  good  or  bad,  neither  shall  he  change  it :  and  if 
he  change  it  at  all,  then  both  it  and  that  for  which  it 
is  changed  shall  be  holy ;  it  shall  not  be  redeemed. 

34  These  are  the  commandments,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in 
mount  Si'nai.

J-  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  Si'nai,  in  the  tent  of  meeting,  on  the  first 
day  of  the  second  month,  in  the  second  year  after 
they  were  come  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  saying, 

2  Take  ye  the  sum  of  all  the  congregation  of  the  chil-

the  Le'vites  shall  set  it  up:  "and  the  stranger  that  cometh 
nigh  shall  be  put  to  death. 

52  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  pitch  their  tents, 
"every  man  by  his  own  camp,  and  every  man  by  his  own 
standard,  throughout  their  hosts. 

53  'But  the  Le'vites  shall  pitch  round  about  the  tabernacle

it  up :    and  the  stranger  that  cometh  nigh  shall  be 

52  put  to  death.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  pitch 
their  tents,  every  man  by  his  own  camp,  and  every 
man  by  his  own  standard,  according  to  their  hosts. 

53  But  the  Le'vites  shall  pitch  round  about  the  taber-

CHAPTER  III. 

The  Levites  are  given  to  the  priests  for  the  service  of  the  tabernacle. 

THESE  also  are  the  generations  of  Aa'ron  and  Mo'ses,  in 
the  day  that  the  Lord  spake  with  Mo'ses  in  mount  Si'nai. 

2  And  these  are  the  names  of  the  sons  of  Aa'ron ;  Na'dab 
the  "firstborn,  and  A-bi'hu,  E-le-a'zar,  and  Ith'a-mar. 

3  These  are  the  names  of  the  sons  of  Aa'ron,  ''the  priests 
which  were  anointed,  fwhom  he  consecrated  to  minister  in 
the  priest's  office. 

4  ""And  Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu  died  before  the  Lord,  when 
they  offered  strange  fire  before  the  Lord,  in  the  wilderness 
of  Si'nai,  and  they  had  no  children :  and  E-le-a'zar  and 
Ith'a-mar  ministered  in  the  priest's  office  in  the  sight  of 
Aa'ron  their  father. 

5  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

6  ''Bring  the  tribe  of  Le'vi  near,  and  present  them  before 
Aa'ron  the  priest,  that  they  may  minister  unto  him. 

7  And  they  shall  keep  his  charge,  and  the  charge  of  the 


17  Then  the  tent  of  meeting  shall  set  forward,  with 
the  camp  of  the  Le'vites  in  the  midst  of  the  camps : 
as  they  encamp,  so  shall  they  set  forward,  every  man 
in  his  place,  by  their  standards. 

18  On  the  west  side  shall  be  the  standard  of  the  camp 
of  E'phra-im  according  to  their  hosts  :  and  the  prince 
of  the  children  of  E'phra-im  shall  be  E-lish'a-ma  the 

19  son  of  Am-mi'hud.  And  his  host,  and  those  that 
were   numbered  of  them,  were   forty  thousand  and 

20  five  hundred.  And  next  unto  him  shall  be  the  tribe 
of  Ma-nas'seh :  and  the  prince  of  the  children  of 
Ma-nas'seh  shall  be  Ga-ma'li-el  the  son  of  Pe-dah'zur : 

21  and  his  host,  and  those  that  were  numbered  of  them, 
were  thirty  and  two   thousand  and   two  hundred : 

22 and  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min:  and  the  prince  of  the 
children  of  Ben'ja-min  shall  be  Ab'i-dan  the  son  of 

23  Gid-e-o'ni :  and  his  host,  and  those  that  were  num- 
bered of  them,  were  thirty  and   five  thousand  and 

24  four  hundred.  All  that  were  numbered  of  the  camp 
of  E'phra-im  were  an  hundred  thousand  and  eight 
thousand  and  an  hundred,  according  to  their  hosts. 
And  they  shall  set  forth  third. 

26  On  the  north  side  shall  be  the  standard  of  the 
camp  of  Dan  according  to  their  hosts :  and  the 
prince  of  the  children  of  Dan  shall  be  A-hi-e'zer  the 

26  son  of  Am'mi-shad'da-i.  And  his  host,  and  those  that 
were   numbered  of  them,  were   threescore  and  two 

27  thousand  and  seven  hundred.  And  those  that  pitch 
next  unto  him  shall  be  the  tribe  of  Ash'er :  and  the 
prince  of  the  children  of  Ash'er  shall  be  Pa'gi-el  the 

28  son  of  Och'ran :  and  his  host,  and  those  that  were 
numbered  of  them,  were  forty  and  one  thousand  and 

29  five  hundred :  and  the  tribe  of  Naph'ta-li :  and  the 
prince  of  the  children  of  Naph'ta-li  shall  be  A-hi'ra  the 

30  son  of  E'nan :  and  his  host,  and  those  that  were 
numbered  of  them,  were   fifty   and   three  thousand 

31  and  four  hundred.  All  that  were  numbered  of  the 
camp  of  Dan  were  an  hundred  thousand  and  fifty 
and  seven  thousand  and  six  hundred.  They  shall 
set  forth  hindmost  by  their  standards. 

32  These  are  they  that  were  numbered  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  by  their  fathers'  houses :  all  that  were 
numbered  of  the  camps  according  to  their  hosts  were 
six  hundred  thousand  and  three  thousand  and  five 

33  hundred  and  fifty.  But  the  Le'vites  were  not  num- 
bered among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  as  the  Lord 

34  commanded    Mo'ses.     Thus    did    the    children    of 
Is'ra-el ;  according  to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo'ses,  so  they  pitched  by  their  standards,  and  so 
they  set  forward,  every  one  by  their  families,  accord 
ing  to  their  fathers'  houses. 


5  Now  these  are  the  generations  of  Aa'ron  and  Mo'ses 
in  the  day  that  the  Lord  spake  with  Mo'ses  in  mount 

2  Si'nai.  And  these  are  the  names  of  the  sons  of 
Aa'ron ;  Na'dab  the  firstborn,  and  A-bi'hu,  E-le-a'zar, 

3  and  Ith'a-mar.  These  are  the  names  of  the  sons  of 
Aa'ron,  the  priests  which  were  anointed,  whom  he 

4  consecrated  to  minister  in  the  priest's  office.  And 
Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu  died  before  the  Lord,  when  they 
offered  strange  fire  before  the  Lord,  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  Si'nai,  and  they  had  no  children :  and  E-le-a'zar 
and  Ith'a-mar  ministered  in  the  priest's  office  in  the 
presence  of  Aa'ron  their  father. 

e  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Bring 
the  tribe  of  Le'vi  near,  and  set  them  before  Aa'ron 

7  the  priest  that  they  may  minister  unto  him.  And 
they  shall  keep  his  charge,  and  the  charge  of  the

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron,  saying, 
2  Take  the  sum  of  the  sons  of  Ko'hath  from  among  the 
sons  of  Le'vi,  after  their  families,  by  the  house  of  their  fathers, 

3  "From  thirty  years  old  and  upward  even  until  fifty  years 
old,  all  that  enter  into  the  host,  to  do  the  work  in  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation. 

4  'This  shall  be  the  service  of  the  sons  of  Ko'hath  in  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  about  "the  most  holy  things. 


33  Of  Mer'a-ri  was  the  family  of  the  Mah'lites,  and 
the  family  of  the  Mu'shites :  these  are  the  families 

34  of  Mer'a-ri.  And  those  that  were  numbered  of  them, 
according  to  the  number  of  all  the  males,  from  a 
month  old  and  upward,  were  six  thousand  and  two 

35  hundred.  And  the  prince  of  the  fathers'  house  of  the 
families  of  Mer'a-ri  was  Zu'ri-el  the  son  of  Ab-i-ha'il : 
they  shall  pitch  on  the  side  of  the  tabernacle  north-

thereof,  and  all  the  instruments  thereof,  and  all  the 

37  service  thereof;  and  the  pillars  of  the  court  round 
about,  and  their  sockets  and   their   pins,  and  their 

38  cords.  And  those  that  pitch  before  the  tabernacle 
eastward,  before  the  tent  of  meeting  toward  the  sun- 
rising,  shall  be  Mo'ses,  and  Aa'ron  and  his  sons,  keep- 
ing the  charge  of  the  sanctuary  ^for  the  charge  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  the  stranger  that  cometh 

39  nigh  shall  be  put  to  death.  Ail  that  were  numbered

at  the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  by  their  families, 
all  the  males  from  a  month  old  and  upward,  were 
twenty  and  two  thousand. 

40  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Number  all  the 
firstborn  males  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from  a  month 
old  and  upward,  and  take  the  number  of  their  names. 

41  And  thou  shalt  take  the  Le'vites  for  me  (I  am  the 
Lord)  instead  of  all  the  firstborn  among  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el ;  and  the  cattle  of  the  Le'vites  instead  of 
all  the  firstlings  among  the  cattle  of  the  children  of 

42  Is'ra-el.  And  Mo'ses  numbered,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded him,  all  the  firstborn  among  the  children  of 

43  Is'ra-el.  And  all  the  fir.stborn  males  according  to 
the  number  of  names,  from  a  month  old  and  up- 
ward, of  those  that  were  numbered  of  them,  were 
twenty  and  two  thousand  two  hundred  and  three- 
score and  thirteen. 

And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Take 
the  Le'vites  instead  of  all  the   firstborn  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  cattle  of  the  Le'vites  in- 
stead of  their  cattle  :  and  the  Le'vites  shall  be  mine ; 
46 1  am  the  Lord.     And  for  'the  redemption  of  the  two 
hundred  and  threescore  and  thirteen  of  the  firstborn 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  are  over  and  above 
Al  the  number  o/the  Le'vites,  thou  shalt  take  five  shek- 
els apiece  by  the  poll ;  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanc- 
tuary shalt  thou   take   them  (the  shekel    is  twenty 
48  gerahs)  :  and  thou  shalt  give  the   money  wherewith 
the  odd  number  of  them   is  redeemed  unto  Aa'ron 
49 and  to  his  sons.     And  Mo'ses  took  the  redemption- 
money  from  them  that  were  over  and  above  them 
50 that  were  redeemed  by  the  Le'vites:  from  the  first- 
born of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  took  he  the  money;  a 
thousand  three  hundred  and  threescore  and  five  shek- 
el els,  after  the  shekel  of  the   sanctuary :  and  Mo'ses 
gave  *the  redemption-money  unto  Aa'ron  and  to  his

Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

^     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 

2  saying.  Take  the  sum  of  the  sons  of  Ko'hath  from

years  old,  every  one  that  came  to  do  the  service  of  the 
ministry,  and  the  service  of  the  burden  in  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation, 

48  Even  those  that  were  numbered  of  them,  were  eight 
thousand  and  five  hundred  and  fourscore. 

49  According  to  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  they 
were  numbered  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses,  "every  one  accord- 
ing to  his  service,  and  according  to  his  burden :  thus  were 
they  numbered  of  him,  ''as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

CHA.PTER  V. 

Restiiuiion  is  to  be  made  in  trespasses—The  trial  of  jealousy . 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Command  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  put  out 
of  the  camp  every  "leper,  and  every  one  that  hath  an  'issue, 
and  whosoever  is  defiled  by  the  "dead : 

3  Both  male  and  female  shall  ye  put  out,  without  the 
camp  shall  ye  put  them ;  that  they  defile  not  their  camps, 
''in  the  midst  whereof  I  dwell. 

4  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  so,  and  put  them  out 
without  the  camp :  as  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  so  did 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

6  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  'When  a  man  or 
woman  shall  commit  any  sin  that  men  commit,  to  do  a  tres- 
pass against  the  Lord,  and  that  person  be  guilty ; 

7  •'^Then  they  shall  confess  their  sin  which  they  have  done  : 
and  he  shall  recompense  his  trespass  "with  the  principal 
thereof,  and  add  unto  it  the  fifth  jtart  thereof,  and  give  it 
unto  him  against  whom  he  hath  trespassed. 

8  But  if  the  man  have  no  kinsman  to  recompense  the 
trespass  unto,  let  the  trespass  be  recompensed  unto  the 
Lord,  even  to  the  priest;  besides  *the  ram  of  the  atone- 
ment, whereby  an  atonement  shall  be  made  for  him. 

9  And  every  ||'olfering  of  all  the  holy  things  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  which  they  bring  unto  the  priest,  shall  be  his. 

10  And  every  man's  hallowed  things  shall  be  his:  what- 
soever any  man  giveth  the  priest,  it  shall  be  *his. 

11  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

12  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them.  If 
any  man's  wife  go  aside,  and  commit  a  trespass  against  him, 

13  And  a  man  'lie  Avith  her  carnally,  and  it  be  hid  from 
the  eyes  of  her  husband,  and  be  kept  close,  and  she  be  de- 
filed, and  there  be  no  witness  against  her,  neither  she  be 
taken  with  the  manner ; 

14  And  the  spirit  of  jealousy  come  upon  him,  and  he  be 
jealous  of  his  wife,  and  she  be  defiled ;  or  if  the  spirit  of 
jealousy  come  upon  him,  and  he  be  jealous  of  his  wife,  and 
she  be  not  defiled  : 

15  Then  shall  the  man  bring  his  wife  unto  the  priest,  and 
he  shall  bring  her  offering  for  her,  the  tenth  part  of  an 
ephah  of  barley  meal ;  he  shall  pour  no  oil  upon  it,  nor 
put  frankincense  thereon  ;  for  it  is  an  offering  of  jealousy, 
an  offering  of  memorial,  "bringing  iniquity  to  remembrance. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  bring  her  near,  and  set  her  before 
the  Lord  : 

17  And  the  priest  shall  take  holy  water  in  an  earthen 
vessel ;  and  of  the  dust  that  is  in  the  floor  of  the  tabernacle 
the  priest  shall  take,  and  put  it  into  the  water : 

18  And  the  priest  shall  set  the  woman  before  the  Lord, 
and  uncover  the  woman's  head,  and  put  the  offering  of 
memorial  in  her  hands,  which  is  the  jealousy  offering:  and 
the  priest  shall  have  in  his  hand  the  bitter  water  that  caus- 
eth  the  curse  : 

19  And  the  priest  shall  charge  her  by  an  oath,  and  say 
unto  the  woman.  If  no  man  hath  lain  with  thee,  and  if  thou 
hast  not  gone  aside  to  uncleanness  ||  '\with  another  instead 
of  thy  husband,  be  thou  free  from  this  bitter  water  that 
causeth  the  curse : 


years  old,  every  one  that  entered  in  to  do  the  work 
of  service,  and  the  work  of  bearing  burdens  in  the 

48  tent  of  meeting,  even  those  that  were  numbered  of 
them,  were   eight  thousand  and  five   hundred    and 

49  fourscore.  According  to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  they  were  numbered  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses, 
every  one  according  to  his  service,  and  'according 
to  his  burden :  thus  were  they  numbered  of  him,  as 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

O     And    the    Lord     spake     unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Command  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  put  out 
of  the  camp  every  leper,  and  every  one  that  hath  an 

3  issue,  and  whosoever  is  unclean  by  the  dead :  both 
male  and  female  shall  ye  put  out,  without  the  camp 
shall  ye  put  them;  that  they  defile  not  their  camp, 

4  in  the  midst  whereof  I  dwell.  And  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  did  so,  and  put  them  out  without  the  camp  : 
as  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  so  did  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And     the     Lord    spake    unto     Mo'ses,    saying, 

6  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  When  a  man  or 
woman  shall  commit  any  sin  that  men  commit,  to 
do  a  trespass  against  the  Lord,  and   that  soul    be 

7  guilty ;  then  they  shall  confess  their  sin  which  they 
have  done :  and  he  shall  make  restitution  for  his 
guilt  in  full,  aud  add  unto  it  the  fifth  part  thereof, 
and   give  it  unto  him  in  respect  of  whom  he  hath 

8  been  guilty.  But  if  the  man  have  no  kinsman  to 
whom  restitution  may  be  made  for  the  guilt,  the 
restitution  for  guilt  which  is  made  unto  the  Lord 
shall  be  the  priest's ;  besides  the  ram  of  the  atone- 
ment,  whereby    atonement  shall  be  made  for  him. 

9  And  every  heave  offering  of  all  the  holy  things  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  they  present  unto  the 

10  priest,  shall  be  his.  And  every  man's  hallowed 
things  shall  he  his :  whatsoever  any  man  giveth  the 
priest,  it  shall  be  his. 

11  And     the     Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 
12 Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 

them.   If  any   man's  wife  go  aside,  and    commit  a 

13  trespass  against  him,  and  a  man  lie  with  her  carnally, 
and  it  be  hid  from  the  eyes  of  her  husband,  and  be 
kept  close,  and  she  be  defiled,  and  there  be  no  wit- 
ness  against  her,  neither  she  be  taken  in  the  act ; 

14  and  the  spirit  of  jealou.sy  come  upon  him,  and  he  be 
jealous  of  his    wife,  and  she  be   defiled :  or  if  the 

spirit  of  jealousy  come  upon  him,  and  he  be  jealous 

15  of  his  wife,  and  she  be  not  defiled :  then  shall  the 
man  bring  his  wife  unto  the  priest,  and  shall  bring 
her  oblation  for  her,  the  tenth  part  of  an  ephah  of 
barley  meal ;  he  shall  pour  no  oil  upon  it,  nor  put 
frankincense  thereon  ;  for  it  is  a  meal  offering  of 
jealousy,    a    meal    offering  of    memorial,    bringing 

16  iniquity  to  remembrance.     And  the  priest  shall  bring 
17 her  near,  and   set  her  before   the  Lord:    and  the 

priest  shall  take  holy  water  in  an  earthen  vessel; 
and  of  the  dust  that  is  on  the  floor  of  the  tabernacle 

18  the  priest  shall  take,  and  put  it  into  the  water  :  and 
the  priest  shall  set  the  woman  before  the  Lord,  and 
let  the  hair  of  the  woman's  head  go  loose,  and  put 
the  meal  offering  of  memorial  in  her  hands,  which 
is  the  meal  offering  of  jealousy  :  and  the  priest  shall 
have  in  his  hand  the  water  of  bitterness  that  causeth 

19 the  curse:  and  the  priest  shall  cause  her  to  swear, 
and  shall  say  unto  the  woman.  If  no  man  have  lien 
with  thee,  and  if  thou  hast  not  gone  aside  to  un- 
cleanness, ^being  under  thy  husband,  be  thou  free 
from  this  water  of  bitterness  that  causeth  the  curse:

20  But  if  thou  hast  gone  aside  to  another  instead  of  thy 
husband,  and  if  thou  be  defiled,  and  some  man  have  lain 
with  thee  besides  thy  husband  : 

21  Then  the  priest  shall  "charge  the  woman  with  an  oath 
of  cursing,  and  the  priest  shall  say  unto  the  woman,  "The 
Lord  make  thee  a  curse  and  an  oath  among  thy  people, 
when  the  LoBD  doth  make  thy  thigh  to  frot,  and  thy  belly 
to  swell ; 

22  And  this  water  that  causeth  the  curse  "shall  go  into 
thy  bowels,  to  make  thy  belly  to  swell,  and  thy  thigh  to  rot. 
'And  the  woman  shall  say.  Amen,  amen. 

23  And  the  priest  shall  write  these  curses  in  a  book,  and 
he  shall  blot  them  out  with  the  bitter  water : 

24  And  he  shall  cause  the  woman  to  drink  the  bitter  water 
that  causeth  the  curse :  and  the  water  that  causeth  the  curse 
shall  enter  into  her,  and  become  bitter. 

25  Then  the  priest  shall  take  the  jealousy  oiFering  out  of 
the  woman's  hand,  and  shall  ''wave  the  offering  before  the 
Lord,  and  offer  it  upon  the  altar : 

26  'And  the  priest  shall  take  a  handful  of  the  offering, 
even  the  memorial  thereof,  and  burn  it  upon  the  altar,  and 
afterward  shall  cause  the  woman  to  drink  the  water. 

27  And  when  he  hath  made  her  to  drink  the  water,  then 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  if  she  be  defiled,  and  have  done 
trespass  against  her  husband,  that  the  water  that  causeth 
the  curse  shall  enter  into  her,  and  become  bitter,  and  her 
belly  shall  swell,  and  her  thigh  shall  rot :  and  the  woman 
'shall  be  a  curse  among  her  people. 

28  And  if  the  woman  be  not  defiled,  but  be  clean ;  then 
she  shall  be  free,  and  shall  conceive  seed. 

29  This  is  the  law  of  jealousies,  when  a  wife  goeth  aside 
to  aiwther  "instead  of  her  husband,  and  is  defiled; 

30  Or  when  the  spirit  of  jealousy  cometh  upon  him, 
:  -.d  he  be  jealous  over  his  wife,  and  shall  set  the   woman 

.>efore  the  Lord,  and  the  priest  shall  execute  upon  her 

all  this  law. 

31  Then  shall  the  man  be  guiltless  from  iniquity,  and  this 
woman  '^shall  bear  her  iniquity. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

The  law  of  the  Nazarites — The  form  of  blessing  the  people. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  When  either  man  or  woman  shall  H^separate  themselves 
to  vow  a  vow  of  a  Naz'a-rite,  to  separate  themselves  unto 
the  Lord; 

3  'He  shall  separate  himself  from  wine  and  strong  drink, 
and  shall  drink  no  vinegar  of  wine,  or  vinegar  of  strong 
drink,  neither  shall  he  drink  any  liquor  of  grapes,  nor  eat 
moist  grapes,  or  dried. 

4  All  the  days  of  his  ||  separation  shall  he  eat  nothing  that 
is  made  of  the  fvine  tree,  from  the  kernels  even  to  the  husk. 

5  All  the  days  of  the  vow  of  his  separation  there  shall  no 
"razor  come  upon  his  head:  until  the  days  be  fulfilled,  in 
the  which  he  separateth  himself  unto  the  Lord,  he  shall  be 
holy,  and  shall  let  the  locks  of  the  hair  of  his  head  grow. 

6  All  the  days  that  he  separateth  himself  unto  the  Lord 
''he  shall  come  at  no  dead  body. 

7  'He  shall  not  make  himself  unclean  for  his  father,  or  for 
his  mother,  for  his  brother,  or  for  his  sister,  when  they  die : 
because  the  fconsecration  of  his  God  is  upon  his  head. 

8  All  the  days  of  his  separation  he  is  holy  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  if  any  man  die  very  suddenly  by  him,  and  he  hath 
defiled  the  head  of  his  consecration ;  then  he  shall  •'^shave 
his  head  in  the  day  of  his  cleansing,  on  the  seventh  day 
shall  he  shave  it. 

10  And  "on  the  eighth  day  he  shall  bring  two  turtles,  or 
two  young  pigeons,  to  the  priest,  to  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation : 

11  And  the  priest  shall  offer  the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and 


20  but  if  thou  hast  gone  aside,  'being  under  thy  hus- 
band, and  if  thou  be  defiled,  and  some  man  have  lien 

21  with  thee  besides  thy  husband :  then  the  priest  shall 
cause  the  woman  to  swear  with  the  oath  of  ^cursing, 
and  the  priest  shall  say  unto  the  woman.  The  Lord 
make  thee  a  ^curse  and  an  oath  among  thy  people, 
when  the  Lord  doth  make  thy  thigh  to  fall  away, 

22  and  thy  belly  to  swell ;  and  this  water  that  causeth 
the  curse  shall  go  into  thy  bowels,  and  make  thy 
belly  to  swell,  and  thy  thigh  to  fall   away  :  and  the 

23  woman  shall  say.  Amen,  Amen.  And  the  priest 
shall  write  these  curses  in  a  book,  and  he  shall  blot 

24  them  out  into  the  water  of  bitterness  :  and  he  shall 
make  the  woman  drink  the  water  of  bitterness  that 
causeth  the  curse :  and  the  water  that  causeth  the 

25  curse  shall  enter  into  her  and  become  bitter.  And 
the  priest  shall  take  the  meal  offering  of  jealousy 
out  of  the  woman's  hand,  and  shall  wave  the  meal 
offering  before  the  Lord,  and  bring  it  unto  the  altar : 

26  and  the  priest  shall  take  an  handful  of  the  meal 
offering,  as  the  memorial  thereof,  and  burn  it  upon 
the  altar,  and  afterward  shall  make  the  woman  drink 

27  the  water.  And  when  he  hath  made  her  drink  the 
water,  then  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  she  be  defiled, 
and  have  committed  a  trespass  against  her  husband, 
that  the  water  that  causeth  the  curse  shall  enter  into 
her  and  become  bitter,  and  her  belly  shall  swell,  and 
her  thigh  shall  fall  away :  and  the  woman  shall  be 

28  a  curse  among  her  people.  And  if  the  woman  be 
not  defiled,  but  be  clean ;  then  she  shall  be  free,  and 

29  shall  conceive  seed.  This  is  the  law  of  jealousy, 
when  a  wife,  'being  under  her  husband,  goeth  aside, 

30  and  is  defiled  ;  or  when  the  spirit  of  jealousy  cometh 
upon  a  man,  and  he  be  jealous  over  his  wife  ;  then 
shall  he  set  the  woman  before  the  Lord,  and  the 

31  priest  shall  execute  upon  her  all  this  law.  And  the 
man  shall  be  free  from  iniquity,  and  that  woman 
shall  bear  her  iniquity. 

O     And    the    Lord    spake    unto     Mo'ses,     saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  When  either  man  or  woman  shall  make  a 
special  vow,  the  vow  of  *a  Naz'i-rite,  to  'separate  him- 

3  self  unto  the  Lord  :  he  shall  separate  himself  from 
wine  and  strong  drink ;  he  shall  drink  no  vinegar  of 
wine,  or  vinegar  of  strong  drink,  neither  shall  he 
drink  any  liquor  of  grapes,  nor  eat  fresh   grapes  or 

4  dried.  All  the  days  of  his  ''separation  shall  he  eat 
nothing  that  is  made  of  the  grape-vine,  from  the 

5  kernels  even  to  the  hu»k.  All  the  days  of  his  vow 
of  separation  there  shall  no  razor  come  upon  his 
head :  until  the  days  be  fulfilled,  in  the  which  he 
separateth  himself  unto  the  Lord,  he  shall  be  holy, 
he  shall  let  the  locks  of  the  hair  of  his  head  grow 

6  long.  All  the  days  that  he  separateth  himself  unto' 
the  Lord  he  shall  not  come  near  to  a  dead  body. 

7  He  shall  not  make  himself  unclean  for  his  father,  or 
for  his  mother,  for  his  brother,  or  for  his  sister, 
when  they  die :  because  his  separation  unto  God  is 

8  upon  his  head.     All  the  days  of  his  separation  he 

9  is  holy  unto  the  Lord.  And  if  any  man  die  very 
suddenly  beside  him,  and  he  defile  the  head  of  his 
separation;  then  he  shall  shave  his  head  in  the 
day  of   his    cleansing,    on    the    seventh    day    shall 

10  he  shave  it.  And  on  the  eighth  day  he  shall 
bring  two  turtledoves,  or  two   young   pigeons,  to 

1 1  the  priest,  to  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting :  and 
the  priest  shall  offer  one  for  a  sin   offering,  and

him,  for  that  he  sinned  by  the  dead,  and  shall  hallow  his 
head  that  same  day. 

12  And  he  shall  consecrate  unto  the  Lord  the  days  of  his 
separation,  and  shall  bring  a  lamb  of  the  first  year  ''for  a 
trespass  offering :  but  the  days  that  were  before  shall  f be 
lost,  because  his  separation  was  defiled. 

13  ^And  this  is  the  law  of  the  Naz'a-rite  :  'when  the  days 
of  his  separation  are  fulfilled,  he  shall  be  brought  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  : 

14  And  he  shall  offer  his  offering  unto  the  Lord,  one 
he-Iamb  of  the  first  year  without  blemish  for  a  burnt 
offering,  and  one  ewe-lamb  of  the  first  year  without 
blemish  *for  a  sin  offering,  and  one  ram  without  blemish 
'for  peace  offerings, 

15  And  a  basket  of  unleavened  bread,  "cakes  of  fine  flour 
mingled  with  oil,  and  wafers  of  unleavened  bread  "anointed 
with  oil,  and  their  meat  offering  and  their  "drink  offerings. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  bring  them  before  the  Lord,  and 
shall  offer  his  sin  offering,  and  his  burnt  offering : 

17  And  he  shall  offer  the  ram  for  a  sacrifice  of  peace 
offerings  unto  the  Lord,  with  the  basket  of  unleavened 
bread :  the  priest  shall  offer  also  his  meat  offering,  and  his 
drink  offering. 

18  "And  the  Naz'a-rite  shall  shave  the  head  of  his  separa- 
tion at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and 
shall  take  the  hair  of  the  head  of  his  separation,  and  put  it 
in  the  fire  which  is  under  the  sacrifice  of  the  peace  offerings. 

19  And  the  priest  shall  take  the  'sodden  shoulder  of  the 
ram,  and  one  unleavened  cake  out  of  the  basket,  and  one 
unleavened  wafer,  and  ""shall  put  them  upon  the  hands  of 
the  Naz'a-rite,  after  the  hair  of  his  separation  is  shaven : 

20  And  the  priest  shall  wave  them  for  a  wave  offering 
before  the  Lord  :  'this  is  holy  for  the  priest,  with  the  wave 
brea.st  and  heave  shoulder:  and  after  that  the  Naz'a-rite 
may  drink  wine. 

21  This  w  the  law  of  the  Naz'a-rite  who  hath  vowed,  and 
of  his  offering  unto  the  Lord  for  his  separation,  besides 
that  that  his  hand  shall  get :  according  to  the  vow  which  he 
vowed,  so  he  must  do  after  the  law  of  his  separation. 

22  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

23  Speak  unto  Aa'ron  and  unto  his  sons,  saying.  On  this 
wise  'ye  shall  bless  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying  unto 
them, 

24  The  Lord  bless  thee,  and  "keep  thee  : 

25  The  Lord  '"make  his  face  shine  upon  thee,  and  "be 
gracious  unto  thee : 

26  "The  Lord  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  thee,  and 
'give  thee  peace. 

27  "And  they  shall  put  my  name  upon  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  ""I  will  bless  them. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

Thg  offering  of  the  princes  at  the  dedication  of  the  tabernacle. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  on  the  day  that  Mo'ses  had  fully 
"set  up  the  tabernacle,  and  had  anointed  it,  and  sanctified 
it,  and  all  the  instruments  thereof,  both  the  altar  and  all  the 
vessels  thereof,  and  had  anointed  them,  and  sanctified  them  ; 

2  That  ''the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  heads  of  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  who  were  the  princes  of  the  tribes,  fand  were  over 
them  that  were  numbered,  offered  : 

3  And  they  brought  their  offering  before  the  Lord,  six 
covered  wagons,  and  twelve  oxen ;  a  wagon  for  two  of  the 
princes,  and  for  each  one  an  ox:  and  they  brought  them 
before  the  tabernacle. 

4  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

5  Take  it  of  them,  that  they  may  be  to  do  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation;  and  thou  shalt  give 
them   unto   the   Le'vites,  to   every   man  according  to  his 


service. 


the  other  for  a  burnt  offering,  and  make  atonement 
for  him,  for  that  he  sinned  by  reason  of  the  dead, 

12  and  shall  hallow  his  head  that  same  day.  And  he 
shall  separate  unto  the  Lord  the  days  of  his  separa- 
tion, and  shall  bring  a  he-lamb  of  the  first  year  for 
a  guilt  offering :  but  the  former  days  shall  be  void, 
because  his  separation  was  defiled. 

13  And  this  is  the  law  of  the  Naz'i-rite,  when  the  days 
of  his  separation  are  fulfilled :  he  shall  be  brought 

14  unto  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting :  and  he  shall 
offer  his  oblation  unto  the  Lord,  one  he-lamb  of 
the  first  year  without  blemish  for  a  burnt  offering, 
and  one  ewe-lamb  of  the  first  year  without  blemish 
for  a  sin  offering,  and  one  ram  without  blemish  for 

15  peace  offerings,  and  a  basket  of  unleavened  bread, 
cakes  of  fine  flour  mingled  with  oil,  and  unleavened 
wafers  anointed  with  oil,  and  their  meal  offering,  and 

16  their  drink  offerings.  And  the  priest  shall  present 
them  before  the  Lord,  and  shall  offer  his  sin  offerings 

17 and  his  burnt  offering:  and  he  shall  offer  the  ram 
for  a  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings  unto  the  Lord,  with 
the  basket  of  unleavened  bread :  the  priest  shall  offer 
also  the  meal  offering  thereof,  and  the  drink  offering 

18  thereof.  And  the  Naz'i-rite  shall  shave  the  head  of 
his  separation  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  and 
shall  take  the  hair  of  the  head  of  his  separation,  and 
put   it   on  the  fire  which  is  under  the  sacrifice  of 

19  peace  offerings.  And  the  priest  shall  take  the  sodden 
shoulder  of  the  ram,  and  one  unleavened  cake  out 
of  the  basket,  and  one  unleavened  wafer,  and  shall 
put  them  upon  the  hands  of  the  Naz'i-rite,  after  he 

20 hath  shaven  the  head  of  his  separation:  and  the 
priest  shall  wave  them  for  a  wave  offering  before  the 
Lord;  this  is  holy  for  the  priest,  together  with  the 
wave  breast  and  heave  'thigh:    and  after  that  the 

21  Naz'i-rite  may  drink  wine.  This  is  the  law  of  the 
Naz'i-rite  who  voweth,  and  of  his  oblation  unto  the 
Lord  for  his  separation,  beside  that  which  he  is  able 
to  get :  according  to  his  vow  which  he  voweth,  so 
he  must  do  after  the  law  of  his  separation. 

22  And    the     Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

23  Speak  unto  Aa'ron  and  unto  his  sons,  saying,  On  this 
wise  ye  shall  bless  the  children  of  Is'ra-el:  ye  shall 
say  unto  them, 

24  The  Lord  bless  thee,  and  keep  thee : 

25  The  Lord  make  his  face  to  shine  upon  thee,  and 
be  gracious  unto  thee. 

26  The  Lord  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  thee,  and 
give  thee  peace. 

27  So  shall  they  put  my  name  upon  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el :  and  I  will  bless  them. 

♦  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  day  that  Mo'ses  had 
made  an  end  of  setting  up  the  tabernacle,  and  had 
anointed  it  and  sanctified  it,  and  all  the  furniture 
thereof,  and  the  altar  and  all  the  vessels  thereof,  and 

2 had  anointed  them  and  sanctified  them;  that  the 
princes  of  Is'ra-el,  the  heads  of  their  fathers'  houses, 
offered;  these  were  the  princes  of  the  tribes,  these 
are  they  that  were  over  them  that  were  numbered: 

Sand  they  brought  their  oblation  before  the  Lord, 
six  covered  wagons,  and  twelve  oxen ;  a  wagon  for 
every  two  of  the  princes,  and  for  each  one  an 
ox :    and   they   presented   them   before    the    taber- 

4nacle.      And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

5  Take  it  of  them,  that  they  may  be  to  do  the  service 
of  the  tent  of  meeting :  and  thou  shalt  give  them  unto 
the  Le'vites,  to  every  man  according  to  his  service.

6  And  Mo'ses  took  the  wagons  and  the  oxen,  and  gave 
them  unto  the  Le'vites: 

7  Two  wagons  and  four  oxen  "he  gave  unto  the  sons  of 
Ger'shon,  according  to  their  service : 

8  ''And  four  wagons  and  eight  oxen  he  gave  unto  the  sons 
of  Mer'a-ri,  according  unto  their  service,  'under  the  hand 
of  Ith'a-mar  the  son  of  Aa'ron,  the  priest. 

9  But  unto  the  sons  of  Ko'hath  he  gave  none :  because -^the 
service  of  the  sanctuary  belonging  unto  them  'was  that  they 
should  bear  upon  their  shoulders. 

10  ^And  the  princes  offered  for  'dedicating  of  the  altar 
in  the  day  that  it  was  anointed,  even  the  princes  offered  their 
offering  before  the  altar. 

11  And  the  Loed  said  unto  Mo'ses,  They  shall  offer  their  of- 
fering, each  prince  on  his  day,  for  the  dedicating  of  the  altar. 

12  ^And  he  that  offered  his  offering  the  first  day  was 
'Nah'shon  the  son  of  Am-min'a-dab,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah : 

13  And  his  offering  was  one  silver  charger,  the  weight 
whereof  loaa  a  hundred  and  thirty  shekels,  one  silver  bowl 
of  seventy  shekels,  after  *the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary ;  both 
of  them  were  full  of  fine  flour  mingled  with  oil  for  a  'meat 
offering : 

14  One  spoon  of  ten  shekels  of  gold,  full  of  ""incense : 

15  "One  young  bullock,  one  ram,  one  lamb  of  the  first  year, 
for  a  burnt  offering: 

16  One  kid  of  the  goats  for  a  "sin  offering: 

17  And  for  ''a  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings,  two  oxen,  five 
rams,  five  he-goats,  five  lambs  of  the  first  year:  this  was  the 
offering  of  ^Nah'shon  the  son  of  Am-min'a-dab. 

18  ^On  the  second  day  Ne-than'e-el  the  son  of  Zu'ar, 
prince  of  Is'sa-char,  did  offer : 

19  He  offered  for  his  offering  one  silver  charger,  the 
weight  whereof  was  a  hundred  and  thirty  shekels,  one 'silver 
bowl  of  seventy  shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary ; 
both  of  them  full  of  fine  flour  mingled  with  oil  for  a  meat 
offering : 

20  One  spoon  of  gold  of  ten  shekels,  full  of  incense : 

21  One  young  bullock,  one  ram,  one  lamb  of  the  first  year, 
for  a  burnt  offering : 

22  One  kid  of  the  goats  for  a  sin  offering : 

23  And  for  a  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings,  two  oxen,  five 
rams,  five  he-goats,  five  lambs  of  the  first  year :  this  was  the 
offering  of  Ne-tban'e-el  the  son  of  Zu'ar. 

24  liOn  the  third  day  E-li'ab  the  son  of  He'lon,  prince  of 
the  children  of  Zeb'u-lun,  did  offer: 

25  His  offering  was  one  silver  charger,  the  weight  whereof

78  On  the  twelfth  day  A-hi'ra  the  son  of  E'nan,  prince 

79  of  the  children  of  Naph'ta-li :  his  oblation  was  one 
silver  charger,  the  weight  thereof  was  an  hundred 
and  thirty  shekels,  one  silver  bowl  of  seventy  shekels, 
after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary  ;  both  of  them  full

U  one  golden  spoon  of  ten  shekels,  full  of  incense  ;  one

84  This  was  the  'dedication  of  the  altar,  in  the  day 
when  it  was  anointed,  ^by  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el :  twelve

85  spoons :  each  silver  charger  weighing  an  hundred

silver  of  the  vessels  two  thousand  and  four  hundred 

86  shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary ;  the  twelve 
golden  spoons,  full  of  incense,  weighing  ten  shekels 
apiece,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary  :  all  the  gold 

87  of  the  spoons  an  hundred  and  twenty  shekels :  all 
the  oxen  for  the  burnt  offering  twelve  bullocks,  the 
rams  twelve,  the  he-lambs  of  the  first  year  twelve, 
and  their  meal  offering  :  and  the  males  of  the  goats 

88  for  a  sin  offering  twelve :  and  all  the  oxen  for  the 
sacrifice  of  peace  offerings  twenty  and  four  bullocks, 
the  rams  sixty,  the  he-goats  sixty,  the  he-lambs  of 
the  first  year  sixty.     This  was  the  'dedication  of  the 

89  altar,  after  that  it  was  anointed.  And  when  Mo'ses 
went  into  the  tent  of  meeting  to  speak  with  him, 
then  he  heard  the  Voice  speaking  unto  him  from 
above  the  mercy-seat  that  was  upon  the  ark  of  the 
testimony,  from  between  the  two  cherubim :  and  he 
spake  unto  him. 

O     And    the     Lord    spake    unto     Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Speak  unto  Aa'ron,  and  say  unto  him.  When  thou 

^lightest  the  lamps,  the  seven  lamps  shall  give  light 

Sin  front  of  the  candlestick.     And  Aa'ron  did  so;  he 

^lighted  the  lamps  thereof  so  as  to  give  light  in  front 

of  the  candlestick,  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

4  And  this  was  the  work  of  the  candlestick,  'beaten 

work  of  gold ;  unto  the  base  thereof,  and  unto  the 

flowers  thereof,  it  was  beaten  work  :  according  unto 

the  pattern  which  the  Lord  had  shewed  Mo'ses,  so 

he  made  the  candlestick.  I

5  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

6  Take  the  Le'vites  from  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  cleanse  them. 

7  And  thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  them,  to  cleanse  them : 
Sprinkle  'water  of  purifying  upon  them,  and  f'^let  them 
shave  all  their  flesh,  and  let  them  wash  their  clothes,  and  so 
make  themselves  clean. 

8  Then  let  them  take  a  young  bullock  with  "his  meat  of- 
fering, even  fine  flour  mingled  with  oil,  and  another  young 
bullock  shalt  thou  take  for  a  sin  offering. 

9  ''And  thou  shalt  bring  the  Le'vites  before  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation :  'and  thou  shalt  gather  the  whole  as- 
sembly of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  together. 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  the  Le'vites  before  the  Lord  : 
and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  *shall  put  their  hands  upon  the 
Le'vites : 

11  And  Aa'ron  shall  foffer  the  Le'vites  before  the  Lord 
for  an  foffering  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  fthey  may 
execute  the  service  of  the  Lord. 

12  'And  the  Le'vites  shall  lay  their  hands  upon  the  heads 
of  the  bullocks:  and  thou  shalt  offer  the  one /or  a  sin  of- 
fering, and  the  other /or  a  burnt  offering,  unto  the  Lord,  to 
make  an  atonement  for  the  Le'vites. 

13  And  thou  shalt  set  the  Le'vites  before  Aa'ron,  and  be- 
fore his  sons,  and  offer  them  for  an  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

14  Thus  shalt  thou  separate  the  Le'vites  from  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  the  Le'vites  shall  be  "'mine. 

15  And  after  that  shall  the  Le'vites  go  in  to  do  the  service 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  :  and  thou  shalt 
cleanse  them,  and  "offer  them  for  an  offering. 

16  For  they  are  wholly  given  unto  me  from  among  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el ;  "instead  of  such  as  open  every  womb, 
even  instead  of  the  firstborn  of  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
have  I  taken  them  unto  me. 

17  "For  all  the  firstborn  of  the  children  of  Is'rael  are 
mine,  both  man  and  beast:  on  the  day  that  I  smote  every 
firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  I  sanctified  them  for  myself. 

18  And  I  have  taken  the  Le'vites  for  all  the  firstborn  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

19  And  'I  have  given  the  Le'vites  as  fa  gift  to  Aa'ron  and 
to  his  sons  from  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  to  do  the 
service  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  to  make  an  atonement  for  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el :  'that  there  be  no  plague  among  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  come  nigh  unto  the 
sanctuary. 

20  And  Mo'ses,  and  Aa'ron,  and  all  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  did  to  the  Le'vites  according  unto  all  that 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses  concerning  the  Le'vites,  so  did 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  unto  them. 

21  'And  the  Le'vites  were  purified,  and  they  washed  their 
clothes ;  'and  Aa'ron  offered  them  as  an  offering  before  the 
Lord  ;  and  Aa'ron  made  an  atonement  for  them  to  cleanse 
them. 

22  "And  after  that  went  the  Le'vites  in  to  do  their  service 
in  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation  before  Aa'ron,  and 
before  his  sons :  "as  the  Lord  had  commanded  Mo'ses  con- 
cerning the  Le'vites,  so  did  they  unto  them. 

23  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

24  This  is  it  that  belongeth  unto  the  Le'vites :  "from 
twenty  and  five  years  old  and  upward  they  shall  go  in 
fto  wait  upon  the  service  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congre- 
gation : 

25  And  from  the  age  of  fifty  years  they  shall  fcease  wait- 
ing upon  the  service  thereof,  and  shall  serve  no  more : 

26  But  shall  minister  with  their  brethren  in  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  "to  keep  the  charge,  and  shall  do  no 
service.  Thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  the  Le'vites  touching 
their  charge. 


5  And     the    Lord    spake     unto     Mo'ses,    saying, 

6  Take  the  Le'vites  from  among  the  children  of  Is'- 
7ra-el,  and  cleanse  them.     And  thus  shalt  thou  do 

unto  them,  to  cleanse  them  :  sprinkle  the  water  of 
expiation  upon  them,  and  let  them  cause  a  razor  to 
pass  over  all   their  flesh,  and  let  them  wash  their 

8  clothes,  and  cleanse  themselves.  Then  let  them 
take  a  young  bullock,  and  its  meal  offering,  fine 
flour  mingled  with  oil,  and  another  young  bullock 

9  shalt  thou  take  for  a  sin  offering.  And  thou  shalt 
present  the  Le'vites  before  the  tent  of  meeting  :  and 
thou  shalt  assemble  the  whole  congregation  of  the 

10  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  thou  shalt  present  the  Le'- 
vites before  the  Lord  :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 

11  shall  lay  their  hands  upon  the  Le'vites :  and  Aa'ron 
shall  'offer  the  Le'vites  before  the  Lord  for  a  wave 
offering,  ^on  the  behalf  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that 

12  they  may  be  to  do  the  service  of  the  Lord.  And 
the  Le'vites  shall  lay  their  hands  upon  the  heads  of 
the  bullocks :  and  offer  thou  the  one  for  a  sin  offer- 
ing, and  the   other  for  a  burnt  offering,  unto  the 

13  Lord,  to  make  atonement  for  the  Le'vites.  And 
thou  shalt  set  the  Le'vites  before  Aa'ron,  and  before 
his  sons,  and  offer  them  for  a  wave  offering  unto 

14  the  Lord.  Thus  shalt  thou  separate  the  Le'vites 
from  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  the  Le'vites 

15  shall  be  mine.  And  after  that  shall  the  Le'vites  go 
in  to  do  the  service  of  the  tent  of  meeting :  and 
thou  shalt  cleanse  them,  and  offer  them  for  a  wave 

16  offering.  For  they  are  ^wholly  given  unto  me  from 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  instead  of  all  that 
openeth  the  womb,  even  the  firstborn  of  all  the  chil- 

17dren  of  Is'ra-el,  have  I  taken  them  unto  me.  For  all 
the  firstborn  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  are  mine, 
both  man  and  beast :  on  the  day  that  I  smote  all 
the  firstborn  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  I  sanctified  them 

18  for  myself.  And  I  have  taken  the  Le'vites  instead 
of  all  the  firstborn  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

19  And  I  have  given  the  Le'vites  as  *a.  gift  to  Aa'ron 
and  to  his  sons  from  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
to  do  the  service  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in  the 
tent  of  meeting,  and  to  make  atonement  for  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el :  that  there  be  no  plague  among 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  'when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 

20  come  nigh  unto  the  sanctuary.  Thus  did  Mo'ses, 
and  Aa'ron,  and  all  the  congregation  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  unto  the  Le'vites  :  according  unto  all  that 
the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses  touching  the  Le'vites, 

21  so  did  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  unto  them.  And  the 
Le'vites  purified  themselves  from  sin,  and  they 
washed  their  clothes ;  and  Aa'ron  offered  them  for 
a  wave  offering  before  the  Lord  ;  and  Aa'ron  made 

22  atonement  for  them  to  cleanse  them.  And  aft«r 
that  went  the  Le'vites  in  to  do  their  service  in  the 
tent  of  meeting  before  Aa'ron,  and  before  his  sons : 
as  the  Lord  had  commanded  Mo'ses  concerning  the 
Le'vites,  so  did  they  unto  them. 

23  And    the    Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

24  This  is  that  which  belongeth  unto  the  Le'vites : 
from  twenty  and  five  years  old  and  upward  they 
shall  go  in  Ho  wait  upon  the  service  in  tue  work  of 

25  the  tent  of  meeting :  and  from  the  age  of  fifty  years 
they  shall  'cease  waiting  upon  the  work,  and  shall 

26  serve  no  more ;  but  shall  minister  with  their  breth- 
ren in  the  tent  of  meeting,  to  keep  the  charge,  and 
shall  do  no  service.  Thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  the 
Le'vites  touching  their  charges.

CHAPTER  IX. 

The  cloud  guideth  the  removings  and  encampings  of  the  Israelites, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  the  wilderness  of 
Si'nai,  in  the  first  month  of  the  second  year  after  they 
were  come  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  saying, 

2  Let  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  also  keep  '^he  passover  at 
his  appointed  season. 

3  In  the  fourteenth  day  of  this  month,f  at  even,ye  shall  keep 
it  in  his  appointed  season :  according  to  all  the  rites  of  it, 
and  according  to  all  the  ceremonies  thereof,  shall  ye  keep  it. 

4  And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they 
should  keep  the  passover. 

5  And  Hhey  kept  the  passover  on  the  fourteenth  day  of 
the  first  month  at  even  in  the  wilderness  of  Si'nai :  accord- 
ing to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  so  did  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  ^And  there  were  certain  men,  who  were  "defiled  by  the 
dead  body  of  a  man,  that  they  could  not  keep  the  passover 
on  that  day :  ''and  they  came  before  Mo'ses  and  before 
Aa'ron  on  that  day. 

7  And  those  men  said  unto  him,  We  are  defiled  by  the 
dead  body  of  a  man :  wherefore  are  we  kept  back,  that  we 
may  not  offer  an  offering  of  the  Lord  in  his  appointer"  seasi^n 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

8  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them.  Stand  still,  and  'I  will  hear 
what  the  Lord  will  command  concerning  you. 

9  •n^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  If  a  y  man 
of  you  or  of  your  posterity  shall  be  unclean  by  reason  of  a 
dead  body,  or  he  in  a  journey  afar  off,  yet  he  shall  keep  the 
passover  unto  the  Lord. 

11  •''The  fourteenth  day  of  the  second  month  at  even  they 
shall  keep  it,  and  "eat  it  with  unleavened  bread  and  bitter 
herhs. 

12  '■They  shall  leave  none  of  it  unto  the  morning,  'nor 
break  any  bone  of  it:  ^according  to  all  the  ordinances  of 
the  passover  they  shall  keep  it. 

13  But  the  man  that  is  clean,  and  is  not  in  a  journey,  and 
forbeareth  to  keep  the  passover,  even  the  same  soul  'shall 
be  cut  off  from  among  his  people :  because  he  ""brought  not 
the  offering  of  the  Lord  in  his  appointed  season,  that  man 
shall  "bear  his  sin. 

14  And  if  a  stranger  shall  sojourn  among  you,  and  will 
keep  the  passover  unto  the  Lord  ;  according  to  the  ordi- 
nance of  the  passover,  and  according  to  the  manner  thereof, 
so  shall  he  do :  "ye  shall  have  one  ordinance,  both  for  the 
stranger,  and  for  him  that  was  born  in  the  land. 

15  •yAnd  "on  the  day  that  the  tabernacle  was  reared  up 
the  cloud  covered  the  tabernacle,  namely,  the  tent  of  the 
testimony :  and  'at  even  there  was  upon  the  tabernacle  as 
it  were  the  appearance  of  fire,  until  the  morning. 

16  So  it  was  alway :  the  cloud  covered  it  by  day,  and  the 
appearance  of  fire  by  night. 

17  And  when  the  cloud 'was  taken  up  from  the  tabernacle, 
then  after  that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  journeyed :  and  in  the 
place  where  the  cloud  abode,  there  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
pitched  their  tents. 

18  At  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  journeyed,  and  at  the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
they  pitched:  'as  long  as  the  cloud  abode  upon  the  taber- 
nacle they  rested  in  their  tents. 

19  And  when  the  cloud  ftarried  long  upon  the  tabernacle 
many  days,  then  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  'kept  the  charge  of 
the  Lord,  and  journeyed  not. 

20  And  so  it  was,  when  the  cloud  was  a  few  days  upon  the 
tabernacle;  according  to  the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
they  abode  in  their  tents,  and  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord  they  journeyed. 

21  And   80   it  was,  when  the   cloud   f^bode  from  even 


V      And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  Si'nai,  in  the  first  month  of  the  second  year 
after  they  were  come  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  say- 
2ing,  Moreover  let  the  children  of  Is'ra-elkeep  the 

3  passover  in  its  appointed  season.  In  the  fourteenth 
day  of  this  month,  'at  even,  ye  shall  keep  it  in  its 
appointed  season :  according  to  all  the  statutes 
of  it,  and  according  to  all  the  ordinances  thereof, 

4  shall  ye  keep  it.  And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  should  keep  the  passover. 

5  And  they  kept  the  passover  in  the  first  month,  on 
the  fourteenth  day  of  the  month,  'at  even,  in  the 
wilderness  of  Si'nai :  according  to  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses,  so  did  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  there  were  certain  men,  who  were  unclean  by 
the  dead  body  of  a  man,  so  that  they  could  not  keep 
the  passover  on   that  day:    and   they  came    before 

7 Mo'ses  and  before  Aa'ron  on  that  day:  and  those 
men  said  unto  him.  We  are  unclean  by  the  dead 
body  of  a  man :  wherefore  are  we  kept  back,  that 
we  may  not  offer  the  oblation  of  the  Lord  in  its 
appointed   season   among  the   children  of  Is'ra-el? 

8 And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them.  Stay  ye;  that  I  may 
hear  what  the  Lord  will  command  concerning  you. 

9     And    the    Lord    spake     unto    Mo'ses,     saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  If  any 
man  of  you  or  of  your  generations  shall  be  unclean 
by  reason  of  a  dead  body,  or  be  in  a  journey  afar 
off,  yet  he  shall  keep  the  passover  unto  the  Lord  : 

11  in  the  second  month  on  the  fourteenth  day  'at  even 
they  shall  keep  it ;  they  shall  eat  it  with  unleavened 

12 bread  and  bitt  herbs;  they  shall  leave  none  of  it 
unto  the  morninj-,  nor  break  a  bone  thereof:  ac- 
cording to  all  the  statute  of  the  passover  they  shall 

13  keep  it.  But  the  man  that  is  clean,  and  is  not  in  a 
journey,  and  forbeareth  to  keep  the  passover,  that 
soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people:  because  he 
offered  not  the  oblation  of  the  Lord  in  its  appointed 

14  season,  that  man  shall  bear  his  sin.  And  if  a  stranger 
shall  sojourn  among  you,  and  will  keep  the  passover 
unto  the  Lord;  according  to  the  statute  of  the 
passover,  and  according  to  the  ordinance  thereof, 
so  shall  he  do :  ye  shall  have  one  statute,  both  for 
the  stranger,  and  for  him  that  is  born  in  the  land. 

15  And  on  the  day  that  the  tabernacle  was  reared 
up  the  cloud  covered  the  tabernacle,  even  the  tent 
of  the  testimon.  :  a  I  at  even  it  was  upon  the  tab- 
ernacle as  it  were  the  appearance  of  fire,  until  morn- 

16ing.     So  it  was   alway:    the   cloud  covered  it,  and 

17  the  appearance  of  fire  by  night.  And  whenever  the 
cloud  was  taken  up  from  over  the  Tent,  then  after 
that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  journeyed :  and  in  the 
place  where  the  cloud  abode,  there  the  children  of 

18  Is'ra-el  encamped.  At  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  journeyed,  and  at  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord  they  encamped :  as  long 
as  the  cloud  abode    upon  the   tabernacle   they  re- 

19mained  encamped.  And  when  the  cloud  tarried 
upon  the  tabernacle  many  days,  then  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  kept  the  charge  of  the  Lord,  and  journeyed 

20  not.  And  sometimes  the  cloud  was  a  few  days  upon 
the  tabernacle ;  then  according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  they  remained  encamped,  and  accord- 
ing to   the  commandment  of  the  Lord  they  jour- 

21  neyed.     And  sometimes  the  cloud  was  from  evening

CHAPTER  X. 

The  Israelites  remove  from  Sinai  to  Paran — Order  of  their  march. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Make  thee  two  trumpets  of  silver ;  of  a  whole  piece 
shalt  thou  make  them :  that  thou  mayest  use  them  for  the 
"calling  of  the  assembly,  and  for  the  journeying  of  the  camps. 

3  And  when  'they  shall  blow  with  them,  all  the  assembly 
shall  assemble  themselves  to  thee  at  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation. 

4  And  if  they  blow  hut  with  one  trumpei,  then  the  princes, 
which  are  ''heads  of  the  thousands  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  gather 
themselves  unto  thee. 

5  When  ye  blow  an  alarm,  then  ''the  camps  that  lie  on 
the  east  parts  shall  go  forward. 

6  When  ye  blow  an  alarm  the  second  time,  then  the  camps 
that  lie  'on  the  south  side  shall  take  their  journey:  they 
shall  blow  an  alarm  for  their  journeys. 

7  But  when  the  congregation  is  to  be  gathered  together, 
^ye  shall  blow,  but  ye  shall  not  'sound  an  alarm. 

8  *And  the  sons  of  Aa'ron,  the  priests,  shall  blow  with 
the  trumpets;  and  they  shall  be  to  you  for  an  ordinance 
for  ever  throughout  your  generations. 

9  And  'if  ye  go  to  war  in  your  land  against  the  enemy 
that  *oppress€th  you,  then  ye  shall  blow  an  alarm  with  the 
trumpets ;  and  ye  shall  be  'remembered  before  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  ye  shall  be  saved  from  your  enemies. 

10  Also  ™in  the  day  of  your  gladness,  and  in  your  solemn 
days,  and  in  the  beginnings  of  your  months,  ye  shall  blow 
with  the  trumpets  over  your  burnt  offerings,  and  over  the 
sacrifices  of  your  peace  offerings ;  that  they  may  be  to  you 
"for  a  memorial  before  your  God :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

11  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  twentieth  day  of  the  sec- 
ond mouth,  in  the  second  year,  that  the  cloud  "was  taken 
up  from  off  the  tabernacle  of  the  testimony. 

12  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  took  ''their  journeys  out  of 
the  'wilderness  of  Si'nai ;  and  the  cloud  rested  in  the  "^wil- 
derness  of  Pa'ran. 

13  And  they  first  took  their  journey  'according  to  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

14  ^'In  the  first  place  went  the  standard  of  the  camp  of 
the  children  of  Ju'dah  according  to  their  armies :  and  over 
his  host  was  "Nah'shon  the  son  of  Am-min'a-dab. 

15  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
sa-char  was  Ne-than'e-el  the  son  of  Zu'ar. 

16  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Zeb'u- 
lun  was  E-li'ab  the  son  of  He'lon. 

17  And  'the  tabernacle  was  taken  down ;  and  the  sons  of 
Ger'shon  and  the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri  set  forward,  "bearing  the 
tabernacle. 

18  ^And  'the  standard  of  the  camp  of  Keu'ben  set  forward 
according  to  their  armies :  and  over  his  host  was  E-li'zur  the 
son  of  Shed'e-ur. 

19  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Sim'- 
e-on  was  She-lu'mi-el  the  son  of  Zu'ri-shad'da-i. 

20  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Gad 
was  E-li'a-saph  the  son  of  Deu'el. 

21  And  the  Ko'hath-ites  set  forward,  bearing  the  "sanctuary: 
and  \\the  other  did  set  up  the  tabernacle  against  they  came. 


until  the  morning  ;  and  when  the  cloud  was  taken  up 
in  the  morning,  they  journeyed:  or  if  it  continued 
by  day  and  by  night,  when  the  cloud  was  taken  up, 

22  they  journeyed.  Whether  it  were  two  days,  or  a 
month,  or  a  year,  that  the  cloud  tarried  upon  the 
tabernacle,  abiding  thereon,  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
remained  encamped,  and  journeyed  not :    but  when 

23  it  was  taken  up,  they  journeyed.  At  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord  they  encamped,  and  at  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  they  journeyed :  they  kept 
the  charge  of  the  Lord,  at  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

J-v  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Make  thee  two  trumpets  of  silver ;  of  'beaten  work 
shalt  thou  make  them :  and  thou  shalt  use  them 
for  the  calling  of  the  congregation,  and  for  the 
3 journeying  of  the  camps.  And  when  they  shall 
blow  with  them,  all  the  congregation  shall  gather 
themselves  unto  thee  at  the   door  of  the  tent  of 

4  meeting.  And  if  they  blow  but  with  one,  then  the 
princes,  the  heads  of  the  thousands  of  Is'ra-el,  shall 

5  gather  themselves  unto  thee.  And  when  ye  blow 
an  alarm,  the  camps  that  lie  on  the   east  side  shall 

6  take  their  journey.  And  when  ye  blow  an  alarm 
the  second  time,  the  camps  that  lie  on  the  south 
side  shall  take  their  journey :    they  shall  blow  an 

7  alarm  for  their  journeys.  But  when  the  assembly 
is  to  be  gathered  together,  ye  shall  blow,  but  ye  shall 

8  not  sound  an  alarm.  And  the  sons  of  Aa'ron,  the 
priests,  shall  blow  with  the  trumpets ;  and  they  shall 
be  to  you  for  a  statute  for  ever  throughout  your 

9  generations.  And  when  ye  go  to  war  in  your  land 
against  the  adversary  that  oppresseth  you,  then  ye 
shall  sound  an  alarm  with  the  trumpets;  and  ye 
shall  be  remembered  before  the  Lord  your  God, 

10  and  ye  shall  be  saved  from  your  enemies.  Also  in 
the  day  of  your  gladness,  and  in  your  set  feasts,  and 
in  the  beginnings  of  your  months,  ye  shall  blow 
with  the  trumpets  over  your  burnt  offerings,  and 
over  the  sacrifices  of  your  peace  offerings ;  and  they 
shall  be  to  you  for  a  memorial  before  your  God:  I 
am  the  Lord  your  God. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  second  year,  in  the 
second  month,  on  the  twentieth  day  of  the  month, 
that  the  cloud  was  taken  up  from  over  the  tabernacle 

12  of  the  testimony.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  set 
forward  according  to  their  journeys  out  of  the 
wilderness  of  Si'nai ;  and  the  cloud  abode   in   the 

13  wilderness  of  Pa'ran.  And  they  first  took  their 
journey    according    to    the    commandment   of   the 

14  Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses.  And  in  the  first 
place  the  standard  of  the  camp  of  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  set  forward  according  to  their  hosts:  and 
over  his  host  was  Nah'shon  the  son  of  Am-min'a-dab. 

15  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of 

1 6  Is'sa-char  was  Neth'an-el  the  son  of  Zu'ar.  And  over 
the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Zeb'u-lun  was 

17  E-li'ab  the  son  of  He'lon.  And  the  tabernacle  was 
taken  down ;  and  the  sons  of  Ger'shon  and  the  sons 

18  of  Mer'a-ri,who  bare  the  tabernacle,  set  forward.  And 
the  standard  of  the  camp  of^Reu'ben  set  forward  ac- 
cording to  their  hosts :  and  6ver  his  host  was  E-li'zur 

19  the  son  of  Shed'e-ur.  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe 
of  the  children  of  Sim'e-on  was  She-lu'mi-el  the  son  of 

20  Zu'ri'shad'da-i.  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the 

21  children  of  Gad  was  E-li'a-saph  the  son  of  Deu'el.  And 
theKo'hath-ites  .set  forward,bearing  the  sanctuary:  and 
the  other  did  set  up  the  tabernacle  against  they  came.

Dan  set  forward,  which  was  the  rearward  of  all  the  camps 
throughout  their  hosts:  and  over  his  host  was  A-hi-e'zer

28  f'Thus  toere  the  journeyings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
according  to  their  armies,  when  they  set  forward. 

29  ^And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Ho'bab,  the  son  of  "Rag'u-el 
the  Mid'i-an-ite,  Mo'ses'  father  in  law,  We  are  journeying 
unto  the  place  of  which  the  Lord  said,  -^I  will  give  it  you: 
come  thou  with  us,  and  "we  will  do  thee  good :  for  *the 
Lord  hath  spoken  good  concerning  Is'ra-el.

to  mine  own  land,  and  to  my  kindred. 

31  And  he  said.  Leave  us  not,  I  pray  thee ;  forasmuch  as

thou  mayest  be  to  us  'instead  of  eyes. 

32  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  go  with  us,  yea,  it  shall  be, 
that  *what  goodness  the  Lord  shall  do  unto  us,  the  same 
will  we  do  unto  thee.

Mo'ses  said,  "Rise  up,  Lord,  and  let  thine  enemies  be  scat- 
tered; and  let  them  that  hate  thee  flee  bafore  thee. 

36  And  when  it  rested,  he  said.  Return,  O  Lord,  unto  the 
fmany  thousands  of  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER     XI. 

The  people  lust  for  flesh— Quails  are  given  in  v/rath  at  ICitroih-hattaavah. 

AND  "when  the  people  ||  complained,  fit  displeased  the 
Lord:  and  the  Lord  heard  it;  ''and  his  anger  was 
kindled ;  and  the  "fire  of  the  Lord  burnt  among  them,  and 
consumed  them  that  were  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  camp. 

2  And  the  people  cried  unto  Mo'ses ;  and  when  Mo'ses 
prayed  unto  the  Lord,  the  fire  fwas  quenched. 

3  And  he  called  the  name  of  the  place  ||Tab'e-rah:  be- 
cause the  fire  of  the  Lord  burnt  among  them. 

4  ^And  the  "mixed  multitude  that  was  among  them  f fell 
a  lusting:  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  also  fwept  again,  and 
said, -^ Who  shall  give  us  flesh  to  eat? 

5  "We  remember  the  fish,  which  we  did  eat  in  E'gypt 
freely ;  the  cucumbers,  and  the  melons,  and  the  leeks,  and 
the  onions,  and  the  garlic : 

6  But  now  ''our  soul  is  dried  away :  there  is  nothing  at  all, 
besides  this  manna,  before  our  eyes. 

7  And  'the  manna  was  as  coriander  seed,  and  the  fcolour 
thereof  as  the  colour  of  ^bdellium. 

8  And  the  people  went  about,  and  gathered  it,  and  ground 
it  in  mills,  or  beat  it  in  a  mortar,  and  baked  it  in  pans,  and 
made  cakes  of  it :  and  'the  taste  of  it  waa  as  the  taste  of 
fresh  oil. 

9  And  '"when  the  dew  fell  upon  the  camp  in  the  night,  the 
manna  fell  upon  it. 

10  ^Th^n  Mo'ses  heard  the  people  weep  throughout  their 


22  And  the  standard  of  the  camp  of  the  children  of 
E'phra-im  set  forward  according  to  heir  hosts :  and 
over  his  host  was  E-lish'a-ma  the  son  of  Am-mi'hud. 

23  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ma- 

24  nas'seh  was  Ga-ma'li-el  the  son  of  Pe-dah'zur.  And 
over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja- 

25min  was  Ab'i-dan  the  son  of  Gid-e-o'ni.  And  the 
standard  of  the  camp  of  the  children  of  Dan,  which 
was  the  rearward  of  all  the  camps,  set  forward  accord- 
ing to  their  hosts :  and  over  his  host  was  A-hi-e'zer 

26  the  son  of  Am'mi-shad'da-i.  And  over  the  host  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ash'er  was  Pa'gi-el  the  son 

27  of  Och'ran.  And  over  the  host  of  the  tribe  of  the 
children  of  Naph'ta-li  was  A-hi'ra  the  son  of  E'nan. 

28  Thus  were  the  journeyings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
according  to  their  hosts ;  and  they  set  forward. 

29  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Ho'bab,  the  son  of  Reu'el 
the  Mid'i-an-ite,  Mo'ses'  lather  in  law.  We  are  journey- 
ing unto  the  place  of  which  the  Lord  said,  I  will 
give  it  you :  come  thou  with  us,  and  we  will  do  thee 
good :  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  good  concerning 

30 Is'ra-el.  And  he  said  unto  him,  I  will  not  go;  but  I 
will  depart  to  mine  own  land,  and  to  my  kindred. 

31  And  he  said.  Leave  us  not,  I  pray  thee ;  forasmuch 
as  thou  knowest  how  we  are  to  encamp  in  the 
wilderness,  and  thou  shalt  be  to  us  instead  of  eyes. 

32  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  go  with  us,  yea,  it  shall  be, 
that  what  good  soever  the  Lord  shall  do  unto  us, 
the  same  will  we  do  unto  thee. 

33  And  they  set  forward  from  the  mount  of  the 
Lord  three  days'  journey ;  and  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant  of  the    Lord   went   before  them  three  days' 

34journey,  to  seek  out  a  resting  place  for  them.  And 
the  cloud  of  the  Lord  was  over  them  by  day,  when 
they  set  forward  from  the  camp. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  ark  set  forward, 
that  Mo'ses  said.  Rise  up,  O  Lord,  and  let  thine 
enemies  be  scattered;    and  let  them  that  hate  thee 

36  flee  before  thee.  And  when  it  rested,  he  said.  Re- 
turn, O  Lord,  unto  the  ten  thousands  of  the  thou- 
sands of  Is'ra-el, 

i-i-  And  the  people  were  as  murmurers,  ^speaking 
evil  in  the  ears  of  the  Lord  :  and  when  the  Lord 
heard  it,  his  anger  was  kindled ;  and  the  fire  of  the 
Lord    burnt   among    them,   and   devoured  in  the 

2  uttermost  part  of  the  camp.  And  the  people  cried 
unto  Mo'ses ;  and  Mo'ses  prayed  unto  the  Lord,  and 

3  the  fire  abated.  And  the  name  of  that  place  was 
called  ^Tab'e-rah  :  because  the  fire  of  the  Lord  burnt 
among  them. 

4  And  the  mixed  multitude  that  was  among  them 
fell  a  lusting :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  also  wept 

5  again,  and  said.  Who  shall  give  us  flesh  to  eat?  We 
remember  the  fish,  which  we  did  eat  in  E'gypt  for 
nought;    the  cucumbers,  and   the  melons,  and   the 

6  leeks,  and  the  onions,  and  the  garlick  :  but  now  our 
soul  is  dried  away ;  there  is  nothing  at  all :  we  have 

7  nought,  save  this  manna  to  look  to.  And  the 
manna  was   like    coriander   seed,  and   the  %ppear- 

8ance  thereof  as  the  appearance  of  bdellium.  The 
people  went  about,  and  gathered  it,  and  ground  it 
in  mills,  or  beat  it  in  mortars,  and  seethed  it  in  pots, 
and  made  cakes  of  it :  and  the  taste  of  it  was  as  the 
9  taste  of  Afresh  oil.  And  when  the  dew  fell  upon  the 
10  camp  in  the  night,  the  manna  fell  'upon  it.  And 
Mo'ses  heard  the  people  weeping  throughout  their

of  the  Lord  was  kindled  greatly ;  Mo'ses  also  was  displeased. 

11  "And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  Wherefore  hast  thou 
afflicted  thy  servant  ?  and  wherefoi-e  have  I  not  found 
favour  in  thy  sight,  that  thou  layest  the  burden  of  all  this 
people  upon  me  ? 

12  Have  I  conceived  all  this  people  ?  have  I  begotten 
them,  that  thou  shouldest  say  unto  me,  "Carry  them  in  thy 
bosom,  as  a  'nursing  father  beareth  the  sucking  child,  unto 
the  land  which  thou  ""swarest  unto  their  fathers  ? 

13  'Whence  should  I  have  flesh  to  give  unto  all  this  peo- 
ple ?  for  they  weep  unto  me,  saying,  Give  us  flesh,  that  we 
may  eat. 

14  'I  am  not  able  to  bear  all  this  people  alone,  because  it 
is  too  heavy  for  me. 

15  And  if  thou  deal  thus  with  me,  "kill  me,  I  pray  thee, 
out  of  hand,  if  I  have  found  favour  in  thy  sight ;  and  let  me 
not  "'see  my  wretchedness. 

16  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Gather  unto  me 
"seventy  men  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou  knowest 
to  be  the  elders  of  the  people,  and  'officers  over  them ;  and 
bring  them  unto  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  that 
they  may  stand  there  with  thee. 

17  And  I  A.ill  "come  down  and  talk  with  thee  there :  and 
I  will  take  of  the  spirit  which  is  upon  thee,  and  will  put  it 

upon  them;  and  they  shall  bear  the  burden  of  the  people 
with  thee,  that  thou  bear  it  not  thyself  alone. 

18  And  say  thou  unto  the  people,  "Sauctify  yourselves 
against  to-morrow,  and  ye  shall  eat  flesh  :  for  ye  have  wept 
''in  the  ears  of  the  Lord,  saying.  Who  shall  give  us  flesh 
to  eat  ?  ""for  it  was  well  with  us  in  E'gypt :  therefore  the 
Lord  will  give  you  flesh,-  and  ye  shall  eat. 

19  Ye  shall  not  eat  one  day,  nor  two  days,  nor  five  days, 
neither  ten  days,  nor  twenty  days ;

nostrils,  and  it  be  loathsome  unto  you :  because  that  ye 
have  despised  the  Lord  which  is  among  you,  au'i  have  wept 
before  him,  saying,  "Why  came  we  forth  out  of  E'gypt  ? 

21  And  Mo'ses  said,  ''The  people,  among  whom  I  am,  are 
six  hundred  thousand  footmen ;  and  thou  hast  said,  I  will 
give  them  flesh,  that  they  may  eat  a  whole  month. 

22  'Shall  the  flocks  and  the  herds  be  slain  for  them,  to 
3affice  them?  or  shall  all  the  fish  of  the  sea  be  gathered 
together  for  them,  to  suffice  them  ? 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  *Is  the  Lord's  hand 
wax*d  short?  thou  shalt  see  now  whether  'my  word  shall 
come  to  pass  unto  thee  or  not. 

24  l^^nd  Mo'ses  went  out,  and  told  the  people  the  words 
of  the  Lord,  and  '"gathered  the  seventy  men  of  the  elders 
of  the  people,  and  set  them  round  about  the  tabernacle. 

25  AncK  the  Lord  "came  down  in  a  cloud,  and  spake  unto 
him,  and  took  of  the  spirit  that  wa^  upon  him,  and  gave  it 
unto  the  seventy  elders  :  and  it  came  to  pass,  that,  "when  the 
spirit  rested  upon  them,  "they  prophesied,  and  did  not  cease. 

26  But  there  remained  two  of  the  men  in  the  camp,  the 
name  of  the  one  was  El'dad,  and  the  name  of  the  other 
Me'dad :  and  the  spirit  rested  upon  them ;  and  they  were  of 
them  that  were  written,  but  'went  not  out  unto  the  taber- 
nacle :  and  they  prophesied  in  the  camp. 

27  And  there  ran  a  young  man,  and  told  Mo'ses,  and  said, 
El'dad  and  Me'dad  do  prophesy  in  the  camp. 

28  And  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  the  servant  of  Mo'ses,  one 
of  his  young  men,  answered  and  said,  My  lord  Mo'ses,  'for- 
bid them. 

29  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  him,  Enviest  thou  for  my  sake? 
'would  God  that  all  the  Lord's  people  were  prophets,  and 
that  the  Lord  would  put  his  Spirit  upon  them !

anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  greatly ;  and  Mo'ses 

11  was  displeased.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord, 
Wherefore  hast  thou  evil  entreated  thy  servant  ?  and 
wherefore  have  I  not  found  favour  in  thy  sight,  that 
thou  layest  the  burden  of  all  this  people  upon  me  ? 

12 Have  I  conceived  all  this  people?  have  I  brought 
them  forth,  that  thou  shouldest  say  unto  me,  Carry 
them  in  thy  bosom,  as  a  nursing-father  carrieth  the 
sucking    child,    unto    the    land    which    thou    swarest 

13  unto  their  fathers?  Whence  should  I  have  flesh  to 
give  unto  ail   this  people?  for  they   weep  unto  me, 

14  saying,  Give  us  flesh,  that  we  may  eat.  I  am  not 
able  to  bear  all  this  people  alone,  because  it  is  too 

15  heavy  for  me.  And  ?f  thou  deal  thus  with  me,  kill 
me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of  hand,  if  I  have  found  favour 
in  thy  sight ;  and  let  me  not  see  my  wretchedness. 

16  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Gather  unto  me 
seventy  men  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou 
knowest  to  be  the  elders  of  the  people,  and  officers 
over  them ;  and  bring  them  unto  the  tent  of  meet- 

17  ing,  that  they  may  stand  there  with  thee.  And  I 
will  come  down  and  talk  with  thee  there :  and  I  will 
take  of  the  spirit  which  is  upon  thee,  and  will  put  it 
upon  them;  and  they  shall  bear  the  burden  of  the 
people  with  thee,  that  thou  bear  it  not  thyself  alone. 

18  And  ay  tV  u  unto  the  people.  Sanctify  yourselves 
a^r.—ist  to-morrow,  "ud  ye  shall  eat  flesh  :  for  ye 
have  wept  in  the  ears  of  the  Lord,  saying.  Who 
shall  give  us  flesh  to  eat  ?  for  it  was  well  with  us  in 
E'gypt :  therefore  the  Lord  will  give  you  flesh,  and 

19  ye  shall  eat.  Ye  shall  not  eat  one  day,  nor  two 
days,  nor   five  days,  neither  ten  days,  nor  twenty 

20  days ;  but  a  whole  month,  until  it  come  out  at  your 
nostrils,  and  it  be  loathsome  unto  you :  because 
that  ye  have  rejected  the  Lord  which  is  among 
you,  and  have  wept  before  him,  saying.  Why  came 

21  we  forth  out  of  E'gypt?  And  Mo'ses  said.  The 
people,  among  whom  I  am,  are  six  hundred  thou- 
sand footmen  ;  and  thou  hast  said,  I  will  give  them 

22  flesh,  that  they  may  eat  a  whole  month.  Shall 
flocks  and  herds  be  slain  for  them,  to  suffice  them? 
or  shall  all  the  fish  of  the  sea  be  gathered  together 
for  them,  to  suffice  them  ? 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Is  the  Lord's 
hand  waxed  short  ?  now  shalt  thou  see  whether  my 

24  word  shall  come  to  pass  unto  thee  or  not.  And  Mo'ses 
went  out,  and  told  the  people  the  words  of  the  Lord  : 
and  he  gathered  seventy  men  of  the  elders  of  the 

25  people,  and  set  them  round  about  the  Tent.  And 
the  Lord  came  down  in  the  cloud,  and  spake  unto 
him,  and  took  of  the  spirit  that  was  upon  him,  and 
put  it  upon  the  seventy  elders :  and  it  came  to  pass, 
that,    when    the    spirit    rested    upon    them,    they 

26  prophesied,  but  they  did  so  no  more.  But  there 
remained  two  men  in  the  camp,  the  name  of  the 
one  was  El'dad,  and  the  name  of  the  other  Me'dad : 
and  the  spirit  rested  upon  them ;  and  they  were  of 
them  that  were  written,  but  had  not  gone  out  unto 

27  the  Tent :  and  they  prophesied  in  the  camp.  And 
there  ran  a  young  man,  and  told  Mo'ses,  and  said, 

28  El'dad  and  Me'dad  do  prophesy  in  the  camp.  And 
Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  the  minister  of  Mo'ses,  'one 
of  his  chosen  men,   answered   and   said.  My    lord 

29  Mo'ses,  forbid  them.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  him, 
Art  thou  jealous  for  my  sake  ?  would  God  that  all 
the   Lord's  people   were  prophets,  that  the  Lord 

30  would  put  his  spirit  upon  them  !  And  Mo'ses  gat 
him  into  the  camp,  he    and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el.

31  ^And  there  went  forth  a  "wind  from  the  Loed,  and 
brought  quails  from  the  sea,  and  let  them  fall  by  the  camp, 
fas  it  were  a  day's  journey  on  this  side,  and  as  it  were  a 
day's  journey  on  the  other  side,  round  about  the  camp,  and 
as  it  were  two  cubits  high  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

32  And  the  people  stood  up  all  that  day,  and  all  that  night, 
and  all  the  next  day,  and  they  gathered  the  quails :  he  that 
gathered  least  gathered  ten  "homers :  and  they  spread  them 
all  abroad  for  themselves  round  about  the  camp. 

33  And  while  the  ^flesh  was  yet  between  their  teeth,  ere 
it  was  chewed,  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
the  people,  and  the  Lord  smote  the  people  with  a  very 
great  plague. 

34  And  he  called  the  name  of  that  place  ||Kib'roth-hat- 
ta'a-vah :  because  there  they  buried  the  people  that  lusted. 

35  ^And  the  people  journeyed  from  Kib'roth-hat-ta'a-vah 
unto  Ha-ze'roth;  and  fabodc  at  Ha-ze'roth. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

God  rebuketh  the  sedition  of  Miriam  and  Aaron. 

AND  Mir'i-am  and  Aa'ron  spake  against  Mo'ses  because 
of  the  II  E-thi-o'pi-an  woman  whom  he  had  married: 
for  "he  had  fmarried  an  E-thi-o'pi-an  woman. 

2  And  they  said,  Hath  the  Lord  indeed  spoken  only  by 
Mo'ses  ?  'hath  he  not  spoken  also  by  us  ?  And  the  Lord 
"heard  it. 

3  (Now  the  man  Mo'ses  was  very  meek,  above  all  the  men 
which  were  upon  the  face  of  the  earth.) 

4  'And  the  Lord  spake  suddenly  unto  Mo'ses,  and  unto 
Aa'ron,  and  unto  Mir'i-am,  Come  out  ye  three  unto  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation.     And  they  three  came  out. 

5  -^And  the  Lord  came  down  in  the  pillar  of  the  cloud, 
and  stood  in  the  door  of  the  tabernacle,  and  called  Aa'ron 
and  Mir'i-am:  and  they  both  came  forth. 

6  And  he  said,  Hear  now  my  words  :  If  there  be  a  prophet 
among  you,  I  the  Lord  will  make  myself  known  unto  him 
"in  a  vision,  and  will  speak  unto  him  *in  a  dream. 

7  'My  servant  Mo'ses  is  not  so,  *who  is  faithful  in  all  'mine 
house. 

8  With  him  will  I  speak  ""mouth  to  mouth,  even  "appar- 
ently, and  not  in  dark  speeches ;  and  "the  similitude  of  the 
Lord  shall  he  behold :  wherefore  then  ''were  ye  not  afraid 
to  speak  against  my  servant  Mo'ses  ? 

9  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  them; 
and  he  departed. 

10  And  the  cloud  departed  from  off  the  tabernacle;  and, 
'behold,  Mir'i-am  became  ''leprous,  white  as  snow :  and  Aa'ron 
looked  upon  Mir'i-am,  and,  behold,  she  was  leprous. 

1 1  And  Aa'ron  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Alas,  my  lord,  I  beseech 
thee,  'lay  not  the  sin  upon  us,  wherein  we  have  done  fool- 
ishly, and  wherein  we  have  sinned. 

12  Let  her  not  be  'as  one  dead,  of  whom  the  flesh  is  half 
consumed  when  he  cometh  out  of  his  mother's  womb. 

13  And  Mo'ses  cried  unto  the  Lord,  saying,  fleal  her  now, 
O  God,  I  beseech  thee. 

14  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  "If  her  father  had 
but  spit  in  her  face,  should  she  not  be  ashamed  seven  days  ? 
let  her  be  "'shut  out  from  the  camp  seven  days,  and  after 
that  let  her  be  received  in  again. 

15  "And  Mir'i-am  was  shut  out  from  the  camp  seven  days : 
and  the  people  journeyed  not  till  Mir'i-am  was  brought 
in  again. 

16  And  afterward  the  people  removed  from  "Ha-ze'roth, 
and  pitched  in  the  wilderness  of  Pa' ran. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

The  men  who  were  sent  to  search  the  land— Their  relation. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  "Send  thou  men,  that  they  may  search  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
which  I  give  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el:  of  every  tribe  of  their 
fathers  shall  ye  send  a  man,  every  one  a  ruler  among  them. 


31  And  there  went  forth  a  wind  from  the  Lord,  and 
brought  quails  from  the  sea,  and  let  them  fall  'by  the 
camp,  about  a  day's  journey  on  this  side,  and  a  day's 
journey  on  the  other  side,  round  about  the  camp,  and 

32  about  two  cubits  above  the  face  of  the  earth.  And 
the  people  rose  up  all  that  day,  and  all  the  night,  and 
all  the  next  day,  and  gathered  the  quails :  he  that 
gathered  least  gathered  ten  homers :  and  they  spread 
them  all  abroad  for  themselves  round  about  the  camp. 

33  While  the  flesh  was  yet  between  their  teeth,  ere  it 
was  chewed,  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled 
against  the  people,  and  the  Lord  smote  the  people 

34  with  a  very  great  plague.  And  the  name  of  that  place 
was  called  ^Kib'roth-hat-ta'a-vah  :  because  there  they 

35  buried  the  people  that  lusted.  From  Kib'roth-hat- 
ta'a-vah  the  people  journeyed  unto  Ha-ze'roth ;  and 
they  abode  at  Ha-ze'roth. 

J-^     And  Mir'i-am  and  Aa'ron  spake  against  Mo'ses 

because  of  the  Cush'ite  woman  whom  he   had  mar- 

2ried:  for  he  had  married  a  Cush'ite  woman.     And 

they  said.  Hath  the  Lord  indeed  spoken  only  'with 

Mo'ses?     Hath  he  not  spoken  also  'with  us?     And 

3  the  Lord  heard  it.  Now  the  man  Mo'ses  was  very 
meek,  above  all  the  men  which  were  upon  the  face 

4  of  the  earth.  And  the  Lord  spake  suddenly  unto 
Mo'ses,  and  unto  Aa'ron,  and  unto  Mir'i-am,  Come 
out  ye  three  unto  the  tent  of  meeting.     And  they 

5  three  came  out.  And  the  Lord  came  down  in  a 
pillar  of  cloud,  and  stood  at  the  door  of  the  Tent, 
and  called  Aa'ron  and  Mir'i-am :  and  they  both  came 

6  forth.  And  he  said,  Hear  now  my  words :  if  there 
be  a  prophet  among  you,  I  the  Lord  will  make 
myself  known  unto  him  in  a  vision,  I  will  speak 

7  with  him  in  a  dream.     My  servant  Mo'ses  is  not  so ; 

8  he  is  faithful  in  all  mine  house  ;  with  him  will  I 
speak  mouth  to  mouth,  even  manifestly,  and  not  in 
dark  speeches ;  and  the  form  of  the  Lord  shall  he 
behold :  wherefore  then  were  ye  not  afraid  to  speak 

9  against  my  servant,  against  Mo'ses  ?  And  the  anger 
of  the  Lord   was  kindled  against  them ;  and  he 

10  departed.  And  the  cloud  removed  from  over  the 
Tent ;  and,  behold,  Mir'i-am  was  leprous,  as  white  as 
snow :  and  Aa'ron  looked  upon  Mir'i-am,  and,  behold, 

11  she  was  leprous.  And  Aa'ron  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Oh 
my  lord,  lay  not,  I  pray  thee,  sin  upon  us,  for  that 
we  have  done  foolishly,  and  for  that  we  have  sinned. 

12  Let  her  not,  I  pray,  be  as  one  dead,  of  whom  the 
flesh  is  half  consumed  when    he   cometh   out  of  his 

13  mother's  womb.     And  Mo'ses  cried  unto  the  Lord, 

14  saying.  Heal  her,  O  God,  I  beseech  thee.  And  the 
Lord  .said  unto,  Mo'ses,  If  her  father  had  but  spit  in 
her  face,  should  she  not  be  ashamed  seven  days? 
let  her  be  shut  up  without  the  camp  seven  days,  and 

15  after  that  she  shall  be  brought  in  again.  And 
Mir'i-am  was  shut  up  without  the  camp  seven  days : 
and  the   peojjle  journeyed    not   till    Mir'i-am    was 

16  brought  in  again.  And  afterwar4  the  people 
journeyed  from  Ha-ze'roth,  and  pitched  in  the 
wilderness  of  Pa'ran. 

J-O     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Send    thou    men,    that    they    may    spy    out    the 

land  of  Ca'naan,  which   I  give    unto  the    children 

of  Is'ra-el :    of  every    tribe  of  their  fathers  shall 

ye  send  a  man,  every  one  a  prince  among  them.

3  And  Mouses  by  the  commandment  of  the  Lobd  sent  them 
■"from  the  wilderness  of  Pa'ran :  all  those  men  were  heads  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  And  these  were  their  names :  Of  the  tribe  of  Reu'ben, 
Sham-mu'a  the  son  of  Zac'cur. 

5  Of  the  tribe  of  Sim'e-on,  Sha'phat  the  son  of  Ko'ri. 

6  ^Of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah,  ''Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh. 

7  Of  the  tribe  of  Is'sa-char,  I'gal  the  son  of  Jo'seph. 

8  Of  the  tribe  of  E'phra-im,  "^O-she'a  the  son  of  Nun. 

9  Of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min,  Pal'ti  the  son  of  Ra'phu. 

10  Of  the  tribe  of  Zeb'u-lun,  Gad'di-el  the  son  of  So'di. 

11  Of  the  tribe  of  Jo'seph,  namely,  of  the  tribe  of  Ma- 
nas'seh,  Gad'di  the  son  of  Su'si. 

12  of  the  tribe  of  Dan,  Am'mi-el  the  son  of  Ge-mal'li. 

13  Of  the  tribe  of  Ash'er,  Se'thur  the  son  of  Mi'chael. 

14  Of  the  tribe  of  Naph'ta-li,  Nah'bi  the  son  of  Voph'si. 

15  Of  the  tribe  of  Gad,  Geu'el  the  son  of  Ma'chi. 

16  These  are  the  names  of  the  men  which  Mo'ses  sent  to 
spy  out  the  land.  And  Mo'ses  called  ■'^0-she'a  the  son  of 
Nun,  Je-hosh'u-a. 

17  ^And  Mo'ses  sent  them  to  spy  out  the  landof  Ca'naan, 
and  said  unto  them.  Get  you  up  this  way  "southward,  and 
go  up  into  *the  mountain : 

18  And  see  the  land,  what  it  is;  and  the  people  that  dwell- 
eth  therein,  whether  they  be  strong  or  weak,  few  or  many ; 

19  And  what  the  land  is  that  they  dwell  in,  whether  it  be 
good  or  bad;  and  what  cities  they  be  that  they  dwell  in, 
whether  in  tents,  or  in  strong  holds ; 

20  And  what  the  land  is,  whether  it  be  *fat  or  lean,  whether 
there  be  wood  therein,  or  not.  And  *be  ye  of  good  courage, 
and  bring  of  the  fruit  of  the  land.  Now  the  time  was  the 
time  of  the  first  ripe  grapes. 

21  ^So  they  went  up,  and  searched  the  land  'from  the 
wilderness  of  Zin  unto  ""Re'hob,  as  men  come  to  Ha' math. 

22  And  they  ascended  by  the  south,  and  came  unto  He'bron ; 
where  "A-hi'man,  She'shai,  and  Tal'mai,  "the  children  of 
A'nak  were.  (Now  ^He'bron  was  built  seven  years  before 
"Zo'an  in  E'gypt.) 

23  ""And  they  came  unto  the  ||  brook  of  Esh'col,  and  cut 
down  from  thence  a  branch  with  one  cluster  of  grapes,  and 
they  bare  it  between  two  upon  a  staff;  and  they  brought  of 
the  pomegranates,  and  of  the  figs. 

24  The  place  was  called  the  ||  brook  ||  Esh'col,  because  of 
the  cluster  of  grapes  which  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cut  down 
from  thence. 

25  And  they  returned  from  searching  of  the  land  after 
forty  days. 

26  ^And  they  went  and  came  to  Mo'ses,  and  to  Aa'ron, 
and  to  all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  'unto 
the  wilderness  of  Pa'ran,  to  'Ka'desh ;  and  brought  back 
word  unto  them,  and  unto  all  the  congregation,  and  shewed 
them  the  fruit  of  the  land. 

27  And  they  told  him,  and  said.  We  came  unto  the  land 
whither  thou  sentest  us,  and  surely  it  floweth  with  "milk 
and  honey ;  ""and  this  is  the  fruit  of  it. 

28  Nevertheless  "the  people  be  strong  that  dwell  in  the 
land,  and  the  cities  are  walled,  and  very  great :  and  more- 
over we  saw  *the  children  of  A'nak  there. 

29  "The  Am'a-lek-ites  dwell  in  the  land  of  the  south:  and 
the  Hit'tites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  and  the  Am'o-rites,  dwell 
in  the  mountains:  and  the  Ca'naan-ites  dwell  by  the  sea, 
and  by  the  coast  of  Jor'dan. 

30  And'Ca  leb  stilled  the  people  before  Mo'ses,  and  said.  Let  us 
go  upatonce,and  possess  it;  for  we  are  well  able  toovercome  it. 

31  "But  the  men  that  went  up  with  him  said.  We  be  not  able 
to  go  up  against  the  people ;  for  they  are  stronger  than  we. 

32  And  they  ''brought  up  an  evil  report  of  the  land  which 
they  had  searched  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  The 
land,  through  which  we  have  gone  to  search  it  is  a  land  that 


3  And  Mo'ses  sent  them  from  the  wilderness  of  Pa'ran 
according  to  the  commandment  of  the  Lokd  :  all  of 
them  men  who  were  heads  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  And  these  were  their  names :  of  the  tribe  of  Reu'ben, 

5  Sham-mu'a  the  son  of  Zac'cur.  Of  the  tribe  of  Sim'e-on, 

6  Sha'phat  the  son  of  Ho'ri.     Of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah, 
7Ca'Iebthe  son  of  Je-phun'neh.  Of  the  tribe  of  Is'sa-char, 

8  I'gal  the  son  of  Jo'seph.     Of  the  tribe  of  E'phra-im, 

9  Ho-she'a  the  son  of  Nun.  Of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min, 

10  Pal'ti,  the  son  of  Ra'phu.   Of  the  tribe  of  Zeb'u-lun, 

11  Gad'di-el  the  son  of  So'di.  Of  the  tribe  of  Jo'seph, 
namely,  of  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  Grad'di  the  son  of 

12  Su'si.  Of  the   tribe   of  Dan,    Am'mi-el  the  son  of 

13  Ge-mal'li.    Of  the  tribe  of  Ash'er,  Se'thur  the  son  of 

14  Mi'chael.    Of  the  tribe  of  Naph'ta-li,  Nah'bi  the  son 

15  of  Voph'si.    Of  the  tribe  of  Gad,  Geu'el  the  son  of 

16  Ma'chi.  These  are  the  names  of  the  men  which 
Mo'ses  sent  to  spy  out  the  land.     And  Mo'ses  called 

17Ho^hc'a  the  son  of  Nun  Josh'u-a.  And  Mo'ses  sent 
them  to  spy  out  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and  said  unto 
them.  Get  you  up  this  way  'by  the  South,  and  go  up 

18 into  the  mountains:  and  see  the  land,  what  it  is; 
and  the  people  that  dwelleth  therein,  whether  they 
be  strong  or  weak,  whether  they  be  few  or  many; 

19  and  what  the  land  is  that  they  dwell  in,  whether  it 
be  good  or  bad ;  and  what  cities  they  be  that  they 

20  dwell  in,  whether  in  camps,  or  in  strong  holds ;  and 
what  the  land  is,  whether  it  be  fet  or  lean,  whether 
there  be  wood  therein,  or  not.  And  be  ye  of  good 
courage,  and  bring  of  the  fruit  of  the  land.     Now 

21  the  time  was  the  time  of  the  firstripe  grapes.  So 
they  went  up,  and  spied  out  the  land  from  the 
wilderness  of  Zin  unto  Re'hob,  to  the  entering  in  of 

22  Ha'math.  And  they  went  up  'by  the  South,  and 
came  unto  He'bron;  and  A-hi'man,  She'shai,  and  Tal'- 
mai, the  children  of  A'nak,  were  there.  (Now 
He'bron  was  built  seven  years  before  Zo'an  in  E'gypt.) 

23  And  they  came  unto  the  valley  of  Esh'col,  and  cut 
down  from  thence  a  branch  with  one  cluster  of 
grapes,  and  they  bare  it  upon  a  staff  between  two ; 
they   brought  also  of  the   pomegranates,  and  of  the 

24  figs.  That  place  was  called  the  valley  of  ^Esh'col, 
because  of  the  cluster  which  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 

25  cut  down  from   thence.      And  they  returned  from 

26  spying  out  the  land  at  the  end  of  forty  days.  And 
they  went  and  came  to  Mo'ses,  and  to  Aa'ron,  and  to 
all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  unto 
the  wilderness  of  Pa'ran,  to  Ka'desh;  and  brought 
back  word  unto  them,  and  unto  all  the  congregation, 

27  and  shewed  them  the  fruit  of  the  land.  And  they 
told  him,  and  said.  We  came  unto  the  land  whither 
thou  sentest  us,  and  surely  it  floweth  with  milk  and 

28 honey;  and  this  is  the  fruit  of  it.  Howbeit  the 
people  that  dwell  in  the  laud  are  strong,  and  the 
cities  are  fenced,  and  very  great:  and  moreover  we 

29  saw  the  children  of  A'nak  there.   Am'a-lek  dwelleth 
in  the  land  of  the  South :  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the 
Jeb'u-site,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  dwell  in  the  mountains 
and  the  Ca'naan-ite  dwelleth  by  the  sea,  and  along 

30  by  the  side  of  Jor'dan.  And  Ca'leb  stilled  the  people 
before  Mo'ses,  and  said.  Let  us  go  up  at  once,  and 
possess  it;    for  we  are   well  able   to   overcome  it. 

31  But  the  men  that  went  up  with  him  said.  We  be  not 
able    to    go  up  against   the  people ;    for   they  are 

32  stronger  than  we.  And  they  brought  up  an  evil 
report  of  the  land  which  they  had  spied  out  unto 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  The  land,  through 
which  we  have  gone  to  spy  it   out,  is  a  land  that

we  saw  in  it  are  fmen  of  a  great  stature. 

33  And  there  we  saw  the  giants,  ^the  sons  of  A'nak,  which 
come  of  the  giants:  and  we  were  in  our  own  sight  as  "grass- 
hoppers, and  so  we  were  'in  their  sight. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

The  people  murmur  at  the  news. 

AND    all  the   congregation    lifted    up   their   voice,  and 
cried ;  and  "the  people  wept  that  night. 

2  ''And  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  murmured  against  Mo'ses 
and  against  Aa'ron :  and  the  whole  congregation  said  unto 
them,  Would  God  that  we  had  died  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ! 
or  "^would  God  we  had  died  in  this  wilderness ! 

3  And  wherefore  hath  the  Lord  brought  us  unto  this  land, 
to  fall  by  the  sword,  that  our  wives  and  our  children  should 
be  a  prey?  were  it  not  better  for  us  to  return  into  E'gypt? 

4  And  they  said  one  to  another,  ''Let  us  make  a  captain, 
and  'let  us  return  into  E'gypt. 

5  Then  •'^Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  fell  on  their  faces  before  all  the 
assembly  of  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  ^"And  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  Ca'leb  the  son  of 
Je-phun'neh,  which  were  of  them  that  searched  the  land,  rent 
their  clothes : 

7  And  they  spake  unto  all  the  company  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying,  *The  land,  which  we  passed  through  to  search 
it,  is  an  exceeding  good  land. 

8  If  the  Lord  'delight  in  us,  then  he  will  bring  us  into 
this  land,  and  give  it  us;  *a  land  which  floweth  with  milk 
and  honey. 

'■  3nly  'rebel  not  ye  against  the  Lord,  "neither  fear  ye  the 
peo' le  of  the  land;  for  "they  are  bread  for  us:  their  fde- 
fencc  is  departed  from  them,  "and  the  Lord  is  with  us :  fear 
them  not. 

10  "But  all  the  congregation  bade  stone  them  with  stones. 
And  'the  glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  in  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  before  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

11  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  How  long  will  this 
people  '■provoke  me  ?  and  how  long  will  it  be  ere  they  'be- 
lieve me,  for  all  the  signs  which  I  have  shewed  among  them  ? 

12  I  will  smite  them  with  the  pestilence,  and  disinherit 
them,  and  'will  make  of  thee  a  greater  nation  and  mightier 
than  they. 

13  ^  And  "Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  Then  the  E-gyp'tians 
shall  hear  it,  (for  thou  broughtest  up  this  people  in  thy 
might  from  among  them  ;) 

14  And  they  will  tell  it  to  the  inhabitants  of  this  land  :  "for 
they  have  heard  that  thou  Lord  art  among  this  people,  that 
thou  Lord  art  seen  face  to  face,  and  that  "thy  cloud  stand- 
eth  over  them,  and  that  thou  goest  before  them,  by  daytime 
in  a  pillar  of  a  cloud,  and  in  a  pillar  of  fire  by  night. 

15  "[[Now  if  thou  shalt  kill  all  this  people  as  one  man,  then 
the  nations  which  have  heard  the  fame  of  thee  will  speak, 
saying, 

16  Because  the  Lord  was  not  'able  to  bring  this  people 
into  the  land  which  he  sware  unto  them,  therefore  he  hath 
slain  them  in  the  wilderness. 

17  And  new,  I  beseech  thee,  let  the  power  of  my  Lord  be 
great,  according  as  thou  hast  spoken,  saying, 

18  The  Lord  is  "longsuffering,  and  of  great  mercy,  for- 
giving iniquity  and  transgression,  and  by  no  means  clearing 
the  guilty,  ''visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the 
children  unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation. 

19  ''Pardon,  I  beseech  thee,  the  iniquity  of  this  people 
''according  unto  the  greatness  of  thy  mercy,  and  'as  thou 
hast  forgiven  this  people,  from  E'gypt  even  ||  until  now. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  I  have  pardoned  -^according  to  thy 
word: 

21  But  as  truly  as  I  live,  »all  the  earth  shall  be  filled  with 
the  glory  of  the  Lord. 


eateth  up  the  inhabitants  thereof;  and  all  the  people 
33  that  we  saw  in  it  are  men  of  great  stature.  And 
there  we  saw  the  'Neph'i-lim,  the  sons  of  A'nak, 
which  come  of  the  Neph'i-lim :  and  we  were  in  our 
own  sight  as  grasshoppers,  and  so  we  were  in  their 
sight. 

J-^  And  all  the  congregation  lifted  up  their  voice, 
2 and  cried;  and  the  people  wej)t  that  night.  And 
all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  murmured  against  Mo'ses 
and  ■  against  Aa'ron :  and  the  whole  congregation 
said  unto  them.  Would  God  that  we  had  died  in 
the  land  of  E'^-ypt !  or  would  God  we  had  died  in 
3 this  wilderness!  And  wherefore  doth  the  Lord 
bring  us  unto  this  land,  to  fall  by  the  sword  ?  Our 
wives  and  our  little  ones  shall  be  a  prey :   were  it 

4  not  better  for  us  to  return  into  E'gypt  ?  And  they 
said  to  one  another,  Let  us  make  a  captain,  and  let 

5  us  return  into  E'gypt.  Then  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  fell 
on  their  faces  before  all  the    assembly  of  the  con- 

6  gregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  Nun  and  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh, 
which  were  of  them  that   spied   out  the  land,  rent 

7 their  clothes:  and  they  spake  unto  all  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  The  land, 
which  we  passed  through  to  spy  it  out,  is  an  exceed- 

8  ing  good  land.  If  the  Lord  delight  in  us,  then  he 
will  bring  us  into  this  land,  and  give  it  unto  us ;  a 

9  land  which  floweth  with  milk  and  honey.  Only 
rebel  not  against  the  Lord,  neither  fear  ye  the 
people  of  the  land ;  for  they  are  bread  for  us :  their 
^defence  is  removed  from  over  them,  and  the  Lord 

10 is  with  us:  fear  them  not.  But  all  the  congregation 
bade  stone  them  with  stones.  And  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  appeared  in  the  tent  of  meeting  unto  all  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  How  long  will 
this  people  despise  me?  and  how  long  will  they  not 
believe   in   me,  for    all    the    signs    which    I    have 

12 wrought  among  them?  I  will  smite  them  with  the 
pestilence,  and    disinherit  them,  and  will   make  of 

13  thee  a  nation  greater  and  mightier  than  they.  And 
Mo'ses  said  unto  the  Lord,  Then  the  E-gyp'tians 
shall  hear  it ;  for  thou  broughtest  up  this  people  in 

14  thy  might  from  among  them ;  and  they  will  tell  it 
to  the  inhabitants  of  this  land :  they  have  heard 
that  thou  Lord  art  in  the  midst  of  this  people ;  for 
thou  Lord  art  seen  'face  to  face,  and  thy  cloud 
standeth  over  them,  and  thou  goest  before  them,  in 
a  pillar  of  cloud  by  day,  and   in  a  pillar  of  fire  by 

15  night.  Now  if  thou  shalt  kill  this  people  as  one 
man,  then  the  nations  which  have  heard  the  fame  of 

16  thee  will  speak,  saying.  Because  the  Lord  was  not 
able  to  bring  this  people  into  the  land  which  he 
sware  unto  them,  therefore   he  hath  slain  them  in 

IT  the  wilderness.  And  now,  I  pray  thee,  let  the 
power  of  the  Lord  be  great,  according  as  thou  hast 

18  spoken,  saying.  The  Lord  is  slow  to  anger,  and 
plenteous  in  mercy,  forgiving  iniquity  and  trans- 
gression, and  that  will  by  no  means  clear  the  guilty; 
visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children, 

19  upon  the  third  and  upon  the  fourth  generation.  Par- 
don, I  pray  thee,  the  iniquity  of  this  people  according 
unto  the  greatness  of  thy  mercy,  and  according  as 
thou  hast  forgiven  this  people,  from  E'gypt  even  until 

20  now.    And  the  Lord  said,  I  have  pardoned  according 

21  to  thy  word:  but  in  very  deed,  as  I  live,  and  as  all 
the  earth  shall  be  filled  with  the  glory  of  the  Lord  ;

22  ^Because  all  those  men  which  have  seen  my  glory,  and 
my  miracles,  which  I  did  in  E'gypt  and  in  the  wilderness, 
and  have  tempted  me  now  'these  ten  times,  and  have  not 
hearkened  to  my  voice ; 

23  *tSurely  they  shall  not  see  the  land  which  I  sware  unto 
their  fathers,neither  shall  any  of  them  that  provoked  me  see  it: 

24  But  my  servant  'Ca'leb,  because  he  had  another  spirit 
with  him,  and  "hath  followed  me  fully,  him  will  I  bring  into 
the  land  whereinto  he  went ;  and  his  seed  shall  possess  it. 

25  (Now  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  and  the  Ca'naan-ites  dwelt  in 
the  valley.)  To-morrow  turn  you,  "and  get  you  into  the 
wilderness  by  the  way  of  the  Red  sea. 

26  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 
saying, 

27  "How  long  shall  I  bear  with  this  evil  congregation, 
which  murmur  against  me  ?  "1  have  heard  the  murmuriugs 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  they  murmur  against  me. 

28  Say  unto  them,  ''As  truly  as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  ''as 
ye  have  spoken  in  mine  ears,  so  will  I  do  to  you : 

29  Your  carcasses  shall  fall  in  this  wilderness,  and  'all 
that  were  numbered  of  you,  according  to  your  whole  num- 
ber, from  twenty  years  old  and  upward,  which  have  mur- 
mured against  me, 

30  Doubtless  ye  shall  not  come  into  the  land,  concerning 
which  I  fsware  to  make  you  dwell  therein,  'save  Ca'leb  the 
son  of  Je-phun'neh,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun. 

31  "But  your  little  ones,  which  ye  said  should  be  a  prey, 
them  will  I  bring  in,  and  they  shall  know  the  land  which 
"^ye  have  despised. 

32  But  as  for  you,  "your  carcasses,  they  shall  fall  in  this 
wilderness. 

33  And  your  children  shall  ||'wander  in  the  wilderness 
"forty  years,  and  ''bear  your  whoredoms,  until  your  car- 
casses be  wasted  in  the  wilderness. 

34  "After  the  number  of  the  days  in  which  ye  searched 
the  land,  even  ''forty  days,  each  day  for  a  year,  shall  ye  bear 
your  iniquities,  even  forty  years,  'and  ye  shall  know  ||my 
breach  of  promise. 

35  ■'I  the  Lord  have  said,  I  will  surely  do  it  unto  all  "this 
evil  congregation,  that  are  gathered  together  against  me : 
in  this  wilderness  they  shall  be  consumed,  and  there  they 
shall  die. 

36  *And  the  men  which  Mo'ses  sent  to  search  the  land, 
who  returned,  and  made  all  the  congregation  to  murmur 
against  him,  by  bringing  up  a  slander  upon  the  land, 

37  Even  those  men  that  did  bring  up  the  evil  report  upon 
the  land,  'died  by  the  plague  before  the  Lord. 

38  *But  Josh'u-a,  the  son  of  Nun,  and  Ca'leb  the  son  of 
Je-phun'neh,  which  were  of  the  men  that  went  to  search  the 
land,  lived  still. 

39  And  Mo'ses  told  these  sayings  unto  all  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el :  'and  the  people  mourned  greatly. 

40  ^And  they  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  gat  them 
up  into  the  top  of  the  mountain,  saying,  Lo,  ""we  be  here, 
and  \j'ill  go  up  unto  the  place  which  the  Lord  hath  prom- 
ised: for  we  have  sinned. 

41  And  Mo'ses  said,  Wherefore  now  do  ye  transgress  "the 
commandment  of  the  Lord  ?  but  it  shall  not  prosper. 

42  "Go  not  up,  for  the  Lord  is  not  among  you ;  that  ye 
be  not  smitten  before  your  enemies. 

43  For  the  Am'a-lek-ites  and  the  Ca'naan-ites  are  there  before 
you,  and  ye  shall  fall  by  the  sword :  "because  ye  are  turned 
away  from  the  Lord,  therefore  the  Lord  will  not  be  with  you. 

44  'But  they  presumed  to  go  up  unto  the  hill  top :  never- 
theless the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and  Mo'ses, 
departed  not  out  of  the  camp. 

45  'Then  the  Am'a-lek-ites  came  down,  and  the  Ca'naan-ites 
which  dwelt  in  that  hill,  and  smote  them,  and  discomfited 
them,  even  unto  'Hor'mah. 


22  because  all  those  men  which  have  seen  my  glory, 
and  my  signs,  which  I  wrought  in  E'gypt  and  in 
the  wilderness,  yet  have  tempted  me  these  ten  times, 

23  and  have  not  hearkened  to  my  voice ;  surely  they 
shall  not  see  the  land  which  I  sware  unto  their 
fathers,  neither  shall  any  of  them  that  despised  me 

24  see  it :  but  my  servant  Ca'leb,  because  he  had  an- 
other spirit  with  him,  and  hath  followed  me  fully, 
him  will  I  bring  into  the  land  whereinto  he  went ; 

25  and  his  seed  shall  possess  it.  Now  the  Am'a-lek-ite 
and  the  Ca'naan-ite  dwell  in  the  valley :  to-morrow 
turn  ye,  and  get  you  into  the  wilderness  by  the 
way  to  the  Red  Sea. 

26  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 

27  saying.  How  long  shall  I  bear  with  this  evil  congre- 
gation, which  murmur  against  me  ?  I  have  heard 
the  murmurings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which 

28  they  murmur  against  me.  Say  unto  them.  As  I 
live,  saith  the  Lord,  surely  as  ye  have  spoken  in 

29  mine  oars,  so  will  I  do  to  you :  your  carcases  shall 
fall  in  this  wilderness;  and  all  that  were  numbered 
of  you,  according  to  your  whole  number,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  upward,  which  have  murmured 

30  against  me,  surely  ye  shall  not  come  into  the  land, 
concerning  which  I  lifted  up  my  hand  that  I  would 
make  you   dwell  therein,  save   Ca'leb  the   son   of 

31  Je-phun'neh,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun.  But  your 
little  ones,  which  yc  said  should  be  a  prey,  them 
will  I  bring  in,  and  they  shall  know  the  land  which 

32  ye  have  rejected.     But  as  for   you,    your   carcases 

33  shall  fall  in  this  wilderness.  And  your  children  shall 
be  'wanderers  in  the  wilderness  forty  years,  and 
shall  bear  your  whoredoms,  until  your  carcases  be 

34  consumed  in  the  wilderness.  After  the  number  of 
the  days  in  which  ye  spied  out  the  land,  even  forty 
days,  for  every  day  a  year,  shall  ye  bear  your 
iniquities,  even  forty  years,  and  ye  shall  know  ^my 

35  alienation.  I  the  Lord  have  spoken,  surely  this 
will  I  do  unto  all  this  evil  congregation,  that  are 
gathered  together  against  me :    in   this  wilderness 

36  they  shall  be  consumed,  and  there  they  shall  die.  And 
the  men,  which  Mo'ses  sent  to  spy  out  the  land,  who 
returned,  and  made  all  the  congregation  to  murmur 
against  him,  by  bringing  up  an  evil  report  against 

37  the  land,  even  those  men  that  did  bring  up  an  evil 
report  of  the  land,  died  by  the  plague  before  the 

38  Lord.  But  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  Ca'leb  the 
son  of  Je-phun'neh,  remained  alive  of  those    men 

39  that  went  to  spy  out  the  land.  And  Mo'ses  told 
these  words  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  the 

40  people  mourned  greatly.  And  they  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  gat  them  up  to  the  top  of  the 
mountain,  saying,  Lo,  we  be  here,  and  will  go  up 
unto  the  place  which  the  Lord  hath  promised  :  for 

41  we  have  sinned.  And  Mo'ses  said,  Wherefore  now 
do  ye  transgress  the  comnaandment  of  the    Lord, 

42  seeing  it  shall  not  pfosper  ?  Go  not  up,  for  the 
Lord   is  not  among  you ;   that  ye  be  not  smitten 

43  down  before  your  enemies.  For  there  the  Am'a-lek-ite 
and  the  Ca'naan-ite  are  before  you,  and  ye  shall  fall 
by  the  sword :  because  ye  are  turned  back  from 
following  the  Lord,  therefore  the  Lord  will  not  be 

44  with  you.  But  they  presumed  to  go  up  to  the  top 
of  the  mountain  :  nevertheless  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant of  the  Lord,  and  Mo'ses,  departed  not  out  of  the 

45  camp.  Then  the  Am'a-lek-ite  came  down,  and  the 
Ca'naan-ite  which  dwelt  iu  that  mountain,  and  smote 
them  and  beat  them  down,  even  unto  Hor'mah.

T?w  iaw  of  the  meat  offering  and  the  drink  offerings 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  "Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  ye  be  come  into  the  land  of  your  habitations,  which 
I  give  unto  you, 

3  And  'will  make  an  offering  by  fire  unto  the  Lord,  a 
burnt  offering,  or  a  sacrifice  ""in  fperforming  a  vow,  or  in  a 
freewill  ofiering,  or  ''in  your  solemn  feasts  to  make  a  'sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord,  of  the  herd,  or  of  the  flock ; 

4  Then  -^shall  he  that  offereth  his  offering  unto  the  Lord 
bring  "a  meat  offering  of  a  tenth  deal  of  flour  mingled  ''with 
the  fourth  T^art  of  a  bin  of  oil. 

6  *And  the  fourth  'part  of  a  bin  of  wine  for  a  drink  offer- 
ing shalt  thou  prepare  with  the  burnt  offering  or  sacrifice, 
for  one  lamb. 

6  ''Or  for  a  ram,  thou  shalt  prepare /or  a  meat  offering 
two  tenth  deals  of  flour  mingled  with  the  third  part  of  a 
bin  of  oil. 

7  And  for  a  drink  offering  thou  shalt  offer  the  third  part 
of  a  bin  of  wine,  for  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

8  And  when  thou  preparest  a  bullock  /or  a  burnt  offer- 
ing, or  for  a  sacrifice  in  performing  a  vow,  or  'peace  offer- 
ings unto  the  Lord  : 

9  Then  shall  he  bring  "with  a  bullock  a  meat  offering  of 
three  tenth  deals  of  flour  mingled  with  half  a  bin  of  oil. 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  for  a  drink  offering  half  a  bin  of 
wine,  for  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto 
the  Lord  : 

11  "Thus  shall  it  be  done  for  one  bullock,  or  for  one  ram, 
or  for  a  lamb,  or  a  kid. 

12  According  to  the  number  that  ye  shall  prepare,  so  shall 
ye  do  to  every  one  according  to  their  number. 

13  All  that  are  born  of  the  country  shall  do  these  things 
after  this  manner,  in  offering  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

14  And  if  a  stranger  sojourn  with  you,  or  whosoever  he 
among  you  in  your  generations,  and  will  offer  an  offering 
made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord  ;  as  ye  do, 
so  he  shall  do. 

15  *'One  ordinance  shall  he  hoth  for  you  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  also  for  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  with  you,  an 
ordinance  for  ever  in  your  generations :  as  ye  are,  so  shall 
the  stranger  be  before  the  Lord. 

16  One  law  and  one  manner  shall  be  for  you,  and  for  the 
stranger  that  sojourneth  with  you. 

17  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

18  'Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them. 
When  ye  come  into  the  land  whither  I  bring  you, 

19  Then  it  shall  be,  that,  when  ye  eat  of ''the  bread  of  the 
land,  ye  shall  offer  up  a  heave  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

20  'Ye  shall  offer  up  a  cake  of  the  first  of  your  dough /or 
a  heave  offering  :  as  ye  do  'the  heave  offering  of  the  thresh- 
ing floor,  so  shall  ye  heave  it. 

21  Of  the  first  of  your  dough  ye  shall  give  unto  the  Lord 
a  heave  offering  in  your  generations. 

22  TIAnd  "if  ye  have  erred,  and  not  observed  all  these 
commandments,  which  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto  Mo'ses, 

23  Even  all  that  the  Lord  hath  commanded  you  by  the 
hand  of  Mo'ses,  from  the  day  that  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo'ses,  and  henceforward  among  your  generations  ; 

24  Then  it  shall  be,  ""if  aught  be  committed  by  ignorance 
fwithout  the  knowledge  of  the  congregation,  that  all  the 
congregation  shall  offer  one  young  bullock  for  a  burnt  of- 
fering, for  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord,  "with  his  meat 
offering,  and  his  drink  offering,  according  to  the  H  manner, 
and  'one  kid  of  the  goats  for  a  sin  offering.

When  ye  be  come  into  the  land  of  your  habitations, 

3  which  I  give  unto  you,  and  will  make  an  offering  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord,  a  burnt  offering,  or  a  sacrifice, 
Ho  accomplish  a  vow,  or  as  a  freewill  offering,  or  in 
your  set  feasts,  to  make  a  sweet  savour  unto  the 

4  Lord,  of  the  herd,  or  of  the  flock :  then  shall  he 
that  offereth  his  oblation  offer  unto  the  Lord  a 
meal  offering  of  a  tenth  part  of  an  ephah  of  fine 
flour  mingled  with  the  fourth  part  of  an  bin  of  oil : 

5  and  wine  for  the  drink  offering,  the  fourth  part  of 
an  bin,  shalt  thou   prepare  with   the   burnt  offering 

6  or  for  the  sacrifice,  for  each  lamb.  Or  for  a  ram, 
thou  shalt  prepare  for  a  meal  offering  two  tenth 
parts  of  an  ephah  of  fine   flour  mingled   with  the 

7  third  part  of  an  bin  of  oil :  and  for  the  drink  offer- 
ing thou  shalt  offer  the  third  paft  of  an  hin  of  wine, 

8  of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord.  And  when  thou 
preparest  a  bullock  for  a  burnt  offering,  or  for  a 
sacrifice,  Ho  accomplish  a  vow,  or  for  peace  offer- 

9ings  unto  the  Lord:  then  shall  he  offer  with  the 
bullock  a  meal  offering  of  three  tenth  parts  of  an 
ephah  of  fine  flour  mingled  with  half  an  hin  of  oil. 

10  And  thou  shalt  offer  for  the  drink  offering  half  an 
hin  of  wine,  for  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet 

11  savour  unto  the  Lord.  Thus  shall  it  be  done  for 
each  bullock,  or  for  each  ram,  or  for  each  of  the  he- 

12  lambs,  or  ot  the  kids.  According  to  the  number 
that  ye  shall  prepare,  so  shall  ye  do  to  every  one 

1 3  according  to  their  number.  All  that  are  homeborn 
shall  do  these  things  after  this  manner,  in  offering 
an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a  sweet  savour  unto  the 

14LoRD.  And  if  a  stranger  sojourn  with  you,  or 
whosoever  be  among  you  throughout  your  genera- 
tions, and  will  offer  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord  ;  as  ye  do,  so  he  shall 

15  do.  For  the  assembly,  there  shall  be  one  statute 
for  you,  and  for  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  with 
you,  a  statute  for  ever  throughout  your  generations: 
as  ye  are,  so  shall  the  stranger  be  before  the  Lord. 

16  One  law  and  one  ordinance  shall  be  for  you,  and  for 
the  .stranger  that  sojourneth  with  you. 

17  And    the     Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

18  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  When  ye  come  into  the  land  whither  I  bring 

19  you,  then  it  shall  be,  that,  when  ye  eat  of  the  bread 
of  the  land,  ye  shall  offer  up  an  heave  offering  unto 

20  the  Lord.  Of  the  first  of  your  Mough  ye  shall 
offer  up  a  cake  for  an  heave  offering :  as  ye  do  the 
heave  offering   of  the  threshing-floor,   so  shall  ye 

21  heave  it.  Of  the  first  of  your  dough  ye  shall  give 
unto  the  Lord  an  heave  offering  throughout  your 
generations. 

22  And  when  ye  shall  err,  and  not  observe  all  these 
commandments,  which  the  Lord  hath  spoken  unto 

23  Mo'ses,  even  all  that  the  Lord  hath  commanded  you 
by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses,  from  the  day  that  the  Lord 
gave  commandment,  and  onward   throughout    your 

24  generations  ;  then  it  shall  be,  if  it  be  done  'unwit- 
tingly, without  the  knowledge  of  the  congregation, 
that  all  the  congregation  shall  offer  one  young 
bullock  for  a  burnt  offering  for  a  sweet  savour  un- 
to the  Lord,  with  the  meal  offering  thereof,  and 
the  drink    offering   thereof,  according   to  the  ordi-

their  offering,  a  sacrifice  made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord,  and 
their  sin  offering  before  the  Lord,  for  their  ignorance : 

26  And  it  shall  be  forgiven  all  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  among 
them  ;  seeing  all  the  people  were  in  ignorance. 

27  ^And  'if  any  soul  sin  through  ignorance,  then  he  shall 
bring  a  she-goat  of  the  first  year  for  a  sin  offering. 

28  "And  the  priest  shall  make  an  atonement  for  the  soul 
that  sinneth  ignorantly,  when  he  sinneth  by  ignorance  be- 
fore the  Lord,  to  make, an  atonement  for  him;  and  it  shall 
be  forgiven  him. 

29  ''Ye  shall  have  one  law  for  him  that  fsinneth  through 
ignorance,  both  for  him  that  is  born  among  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  for  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  among  them. 

30  ^'But  the  soul  that  doeth  aught  fpresumptuously, 
whether  he  be  born  in  the  land,  or  a  stranger,  the  same  re- 
proacheth  the  Lord  ;  and  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from

31  Because  he  hath  ■'^despised  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and 
hath  broken  his  commandment,  that  soul  shall  utterly  be 
cut  off;  "his  iniquity  shall  be  upon  him. 

32  ^  And  while  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  in  the  wilderness, 
*they  found  a  man  that  gathered  sticks  upon  the  sabbath  day. 

33  And  they  that  found  him  gathering  sticks  brought  him 
unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  and  unto  all  the  congregation. 

34  And  they  put  him  'in  ward,  because  it  was  not  declared 
what  should  be  done  to  him. 

35  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  *The  man  shall  be 
surely  put  to  death :  all  the  congregaticJn  shall  'stone  him 
with  stones  without  the  camp. 

36  And  all  the  congregation  brought  him  without  the 
camp,  and  stoned  him  with  stones,  and  he  died ;  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses. 

37  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

38  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  bid  "them  that 
they  make  them  fringes  in  the  borders  of  their  garments, 
throughout  their  generations,  and  that  they  put  upon  the 
fringe  of  the  borders  a  ribband  of  blue : 

39  And  it  shall  be  unto  you  for  a  fringe,  that  ye  may  look 
upon  it,  and  remember  all  the  commandments  of  the  Lord, 
and  do  them ;  and  that  ye  "seek  not  after  your  own  heart 
and  your  own  eyes,  after  which  ye  use  "to  go  a  whoring : 

40  That  ye  may  remember,  and  do  all  my  commandments, 
and  be  "holy  unto  your  God. 

41;  I  am  the  Lord  your  God,  which  brought  you  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  be  your  God :  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God.

children  of  Is'ra-el,  two  hundred  and  fifty  princes  of  the  as- 
sembly, ""famous  in  the  congregation,  men  of  renown  : 

3  And  "^they  gathered  themselves  together  against  Mo'ses 
and  against  Aa'ron,  and  said  unto  them,  f  Y^e  take  too  much 
upon  you,  seeing  ''all  the  congregation  are  holy,  every  one 
of  them,  'and  the  Lord  is  among  them  :  wherefore  then  lift 
ye  up  yourselves  above  the  congregation  of  the  Lord  ? 

4  And  when  Mo'ses  heard  it,  -^he  fell  upon  his  face : 

5  And  he  spake  unto  Ko'rah  and  unto  all  his  company, 
saying,  Even  to-morrow  the  Lord  will  shew  who  are  hisj 
and  who  is  "holy ;  and  will  cause  him  to  come  near  unto 
him:  even  him  whom  he  hath  ''chosen  will  he  cause  to 
'come  near  unto  him. 

6  This  do ;  Take  you  censers,  Ko'rah,  and  all  his  company ; 

7  And  put  fire  therein,  and  put  incense  in  them  before  the 


forgiven ;  for  it  was  an  error,  and  they  have  brought 
their  oblation,  an  offering  made  by  fire  unto  the 
Lord,  and  their  sin  offering  before   the   Lord,  for 

26  their  error :  and  all  the  congregation  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  forgiven,  and  the  stranger  that 
sojourneth  among  them ;    for  in  respect   of   all  the 

27  people  it  was  done  unwittingly.  And  if  one  person 
sin  unwittingly,  then  he  shall  offer  a  she-goat  of  the 

28  first  year  for  a  sin  offering.  And  the  priest  shall 
make  atonement  for  the  soul  that  erreth,  when  he 
sinneth    unwittingly,    before    the    Lord,   to    make 

29 atonement  for  him;  and  he  shall  be  forgiven.  Ye 
shall  have  one  law  for  him  that  doeth  aught  unwit 
tingly,  for  him  that,  is  homeborn  among  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  for  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  among 

30  them.  But  the  soul  that  doeth  aught  with  an  high 
hand,  whether  he  be  homeborn  or  a  stranger,  the 
same  blasphemeth  the  Lord;   and  that   soul  shall 

31  be  cut  off  from  among  his  people.  Because  he 
hath  despised  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  hath 
broken  his  commandment;  that  soul  shall  utterly 
be  cut  off,  his  iniquity  shall  be  upon  him. 

32  And  while  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  in  the 
wilderness,  they  found  a  man  gathering  sticks  upon 

33  the  sabbath  day.  And  they  that  found  him  gather- 
ing sticks  brought  him  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  and 

34  unto  all  the  congregation.  And  they  put  him  in 
ward,  because  it  had  not  been  declared  what  should 

35  be  done  to  him.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses, 
The  man  shall  surely  be  put  to  death  :  all  the  con- 
gregation shall  stone  him  with   stones  without  the 

36  camp.  And  all  the  congregation  brought  him  with- 
out the  camp,  and  stoned  him  with  stones,  and  he 
died ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

37  And    the    Lord    spake     unto     Mo'ses,    saying, 

38  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  bid  them 
that  they  make  them  'fringes  in  the  borders  of  their 
garments  throughout  their  generations,  and  that 
they  put  upon  the  fringe  of  each  border  a  cord  of 

39  blue :  and  it  shall  be  unto  you  for  a  fringe,  that  ye 
may  look  upon  it,  and  remember  all  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  and  do  them ;  and  that  ye  ^go 
not  about  after  your  own  heart  and  your  own  eyes, 

40 after  which  ye  use  to  go  a  whoring:  that  ye  may 
remember  and  do   all  my  commandments,  and  be 

41  holy  unto  your  God.  I  am  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  brought  you  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  be 
your  God:  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

4-v  Now  Ko'rah,  the  son  of  Iz'har,  the  son  of  Ko'hath, 
the  son  of  Le'vi,with  Da'than  and  A-bi'ram,  the  sons 
of  E-li'ab,  and  On,  the  son  of  Pe'leth,  sons  of  Reu'ben, 

2  took  men :  and  they  rose  up  before  Mo'ses,  with 
certain  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  two  hundred  and 
fifty  princes  of  the  congregation,  called  to  the  assem- 

3  bly,  men  of  renown :  and  they  assembled  themselves 
together  against  Mo'ses  and  against  Aa'ron,  and  said 
unto  them,  ^Ye  take  too  much  upon  you,  seeing  all 
the  congregation  are  holy,  every  one  of  them,  and 
the  Lord  is  among  them :  wherefore  then  lift  ye  up 

4 yourselves  above  the  assembly  of  the  Lord?     And 

5  when  Mo'ses  heard  it,  he  fell  upon  his  face :  and  he 

spake  unto  Ko'rah  and  unto  all  his  company,  saying, 

In  the  morning  the  Lord  will  shew  who  are  his, 

and  who  is  holy,  and  *will  cause  him  to  come  near 

unto   him :    even  him   whom    he   shall   choose   will 

6 he  cause  to  come  near  unto  him.     This  do;    take 

7  you  censers,  Ko'rah,  and  all  his  company ;  and  put 

fire  therein,  and  put  incense  upon  them  before  the

Lord  to-morrow:  and  it  shall  be  that  the  man  whom  the 
LoKD  doth  choose,  he  shaM  be  holy  :  ye  take  too  much  upon 
you,  ye  sons  of  Le'vi. 

8  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Ko'rah,  Hear,  I  pray  you,  ye  sons 
of  Le'vi : 

9  Seemeth  it  but  *a  small  thing  unto  you,  that  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el  hath  'separated  you  from  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, 
to  bring  you  near  to  himself  to  do  the  service  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  Lord,  and  to  stand  before  the  congregation  to 
minister  unto  them? 

10  And  he  hath  brought  thee  near  to  him,  and  all  thy 
brethren  the  sons  of  Le'vi  with  thee :  and  seek  ye  the  priest- 
hood also? 

11  For  which  cause  both  thou  and  all  thy  company  are 
gathered  together  against  the  Lord  :  ""and  what  is  Aa'ron, 
that  ye  murmur  against  him  ? 

12  ^And  Mo'ses  sent  to  call  Da'than  and  A-bi'ram,  the 
sons  of  E-li'ab ;  Avhich  said,  We  will  not  come  up : 

13  "/s  iV  a  small  thing  that  thou  hast  brought  us  up  out  of  a 
land  that  floweth  with  milk  and  honey,  to  kill  us  in  the  wilder- 
ness, except  thou  "make  thyself  altogether  a  prince  over  us  ? 

14  Moreover,  thou  hast  not  brought  us  into  "a  land  that 
floweth  with  milk  and  honey,  or  given  us  inheritance  of 
fields  and  vineyards:  wilt  thou  fput  out  the  eyes  of  these 
men  ?  we  will  not  come  up. 

15  And  Mo'ses  was  very  wroth,  and  said  unto  the  Lord, 
'Respect  not  thou  their  offering :  ""I  have  not  taken  one  ass 
from  them,  neither  have  I  hurt  one  of  them. 

16  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Ko'rah,  "Be  thou  and  all  thy  com- 
pany 'before  the  LoRD,thou,and  they,  and  Aa'ron,to-morrow  : 

17  And  take  every  man  his  censer,  and  put  incense  in 
them,  and  bring  ye  before  the  Lord  every  man  his  censer, 
two  hundred  and  fifty  censers;  thou  also, and  Aa'ron,  each 
o/  you  his  censer. 

18  And  they  took  every  man  his  censer,  and  put  fire  in 
them,  and  laid  incense  thereon,  and  stood  in  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation  with  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron. 

19  And  Ko'rah  gathered  all  the  congregation  against  them 
unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation :  and 
"the  glory  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  all  the  congregation. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 
saying, 

21  ''Separate  yourselves  from  among  this  congregation, 
that  I  may  ''consume  them  in  a  moment. 

22  And  they  'fell  upon  their  faces,  and  said,  O  Grod,  "the 
God  of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh,  shall  one  man  sin,  and  wilt 
thou  be  wroth  with  all  the  congregation  ? 

23^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

24  Speak  unto  the  congregation,  saying.  Get  you  up  from 
about  the  tabernacle  of  Ko'rah,  Da'than,  and  A-bi'ram. 

25  And  Mo'ses  rose  up  and  went  unto  Da'than  aid  A-bi'ram ; 
and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  followed  him. 

26  And  he  spake  unto  the  congregation,  saying,  ''Depart,  I 
pray  you,  from  the  tents  of  these  wicked  men,  and  touch 
nothing  of  theirs,  lest  ye  be  consumed  in  all  their  sins. 

27  So  they  gat  up  from  the  tabernacle  of  Ko'rah,  Da'than, 
and  A-bi'ram,  on  every  side :  and  Da'than  and  A-bi'ram 
came  out,  and  stood  in  the  door  of  their  tents,  and  their 
wives,  and  their  sons,  and  their  little  children. 

28  And  Mo'ses  said,  'Hereby  ye  shall  know  that  the  Lord 
hath  sent  me  to  do  all  these  works ;  for  I  have  not  done  them 
''of  mine  own  mind. 

29  If  these  men  die  fthe  common  death  of  all  men,  or  if 
>they  be  ^visited  after  the  visitation  of  all  men  ;  then  the  Lord 

hath  not  sent  me. 

30  But  if  the  Lord  fmake  ■'a  new  thing,  and  the  earth  open 
her  mouth,  and  swallow  them  up,  with  all  that  appertain 
unto  them,  and  they  "go  down  quick  into  the  pit;  then  ye 
shall  understand  that  these  men  have  provoked  the  Lord 


Lord  to-morrow :  and  it  shall  be  that  the  man  whom 
the  Lord  doth  choose,  he  shall  be  holy :  ye  take  too 

8  much  upon  you,  ye  sons  of  Le'vi.    And  Mo'ses  said 

9  unto  Ko'rah,  Hear  now,  ye  sons  of  Le'vi :  seemeth  it 
but  a  small  thing  unto  you,  that  the  God  of  Is'ra-el 
hath  separated  you  from  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, 
to  bring  you  near  to  himself;  to  do  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and  to  stand  before  the 

10 congregation  to  minister  unto  them;  and  that  he 
hath  brought  thee  near,  and  all  thy  brethren  the 
sons  of  Le'vi  with  thee  ?  and  seek  ye  the  priesthood 

11  also?  Therefore  thou  and  all  thy  company  are 
gathered  together  against  the   Lord  :  and  Aa'ron, 

12 what  is  he  that  ye  murmur  against  him?  And 
Mo'ses  sent  to  call  Da'than  and  A-bi'ram,  the  sons  of 

13  E-li'ab :  and  they  said,  We  will  not  come  up :  is  it  a 
small  thing  that  thou  hast  brought  us  up  out  of  a 
land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  to  kill  us  in  the 
wilderness,  but  thou  must  needs  make  thyself  also 

14a  prince  over  us?  Moreover  thou  hast  not  brought 
us  into  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  nor 
given  us  inheritance  of  fields  and  vineyards:  wilt 
thou  'put  out  the  eyes  of  these  men  ?  we  will  not 

15  come  up.  And  Mo'ses  was  very  wroth,  and  said 
unto  the  Lord,  Respect  not  thou  their  offering :  I 
have  not  taken  one  ass  from  them,  neither   have  I 

16  hurt  one  of  them.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Ko'rah,  Be 
thou  and  all  thy  congregation  before  the  Lord,  thou, 

17  and  they,  and  Aa'ron,  to-morrow :  and  take  ye  every 
man  his  censer,  and  put  incense  upon  them,  and 
bring  ye  before  the  Lord  every  man  his  censer,  two 
hundred  and  fifty  censers;   thou  also,  and  Aa'ron, 

18  each  his  censer.  And  they  took  every  man  his 
censer,  and  put  fire  in  them,  and  laid  incense  thereon, 
and  stood  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting  with 

19  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron.  And  Ko'rah  assembled  all  the 
congregation  against  them  unto  the  door  of  the  tent 
of  meeting:  and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  appeared 
unto  all  the  congregation. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 

21  saying.  Separate  yourselves  from  among  this  con 
gregation,  that  I  may  consume  them  in  a   moment. 

22  And  thf>y  fell  upon  their  faces,  and  said,  O  God,  the 
God  of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh,  shall  one  man  sin,  and 

23  wilt  thou  be  wroth  with  all  th-^  congregation  ?    And 

24  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  3peak  unto  the 
congregation,  saying.  Get  you  up  from  about  the 

25  tabernacle  of  Ko'rah,  Da'than,  and  A-bi'ram.  And 
Mo'ses  rose  up  and  went  unto  Da'than  and  A-bi'ram ; 

26  and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  followed  him.  And  he 
spake  unto  the  congregation,  saying,  Depart,  I  pray 
you,  from  the  tents  of  these  wicked  men,  and  touch 
nothing  of  theirs,  lest   ye  be  consumed  in  all;  their 

27  sins.  So  they  gat  them  up  from  the  tabernacle  of 
Ko'rah,  Da'than,  and  A-bi'ram,  on  every  side:  anc" 
Da'than  and  A-bi'ram  came  out,  and  stood  at  the  door 
of  their  tents,  and  their  wives,  and  their  sons,  and 

28  their  little  ones.  And  Mo'ses  said,  Hereby  ye  shall 
know  that  the  LoRr.  hath  sent  me  to  do  all  these 
works ;  for  /  have  not  done  them  of  mine  own  mind. 

29  If  these  men  die  the  common  death  of  all  men,  or 
if  they  be  visited  after  the  visitation  of  all  men  ;  then 

30  the  Lord  hath  not  sent  me.  But  if  the  Lord  ^make 
a  new  thing,  and  the  ground  open  her  mouth,  and 
swallow  them  up,  with  all  that  appertain  unto  them, 
and  they  go  down  alive  into  Hhe  pit;  then  ye  shall 
understand  that  these  men  have  despised  the  Lord.

31  ^*Aiid  it  came  to  pass,  ss  he  had  made  an  end  of  speak- 
ing all  these  words,  that  the  ground  clave  asunder  that  was 
under  them: 

32  And  the  earth  opened  her  mouth,  and  swallowed  them 
up,  and  their  houses,  and  'all  the  men  that  appertained  unto 
Ko'rah,  and  all  their  goods. 

33  They,  and  all  that  appertained  to  them,  went  down  alive 
into  the  pit,  and  the  earth  closed  upon  them :  and  they  per- 
ished from  among  the  congregation. 

34  And  all  Is'ra-el  that  were  round  about  them  fled  at  the 
cry  of  them :  for  they  said.  Lest  the  earth  swallow  us  up  also. 

35  And  there  *came  out  a  fire  from  the  Lord,  and  con- 
sumed 'the  two  hundred  and  fifty  men  that  oifered  incense. 

36  IJAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

37  Speak  unto  E-le-a'zar  the  son  of  Aa'ron  the  priest,  that 
he  take  up  the  censers  out  of  the  burning,  and  scatter  thou 
the  fire  yonder ;  for  "they  are  hallowed. 

38  The  censers  of  these  "sinners  against  their  own  souls, 
let  them  make  them  broad  plates  for  a  covering  of  the 
altar:  for  they  offered  them  before  the  Lord,  therefore 
they  are  hallowed :  "and  they  shall  be  a  sign  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el. 

39  And  E-le-a'zar  the  priest  took  the  brazen  censers, 
wherewith  they  that  were  burnt  had  offered ;  and  they  were 
made  broad  plates  for  a  covering  of  the  altar : 

40  To  be  a  memorial  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "that  no 
stranger,  which  is  not  of  the  seed  of  Aa'ron,  come  near  to 
offer  incense  before  the  Lord;  that  he  be  not  as  Ko'rah, 
and  as  his  company :  as  the  Lord  said  to  him  by  the  hand 
of  Mo'ses. 

41  ^But  on  the  morrow  'all  the  congregation  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  murmured  against  Mo'ses  and  against  Aa'ron, 
saying,  Ye  have  killed  the  people  of  the  Lord. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  congregation  was 
gathered  against  Mo'ses  and  against  Aa'ron,  that  they  looked 
toward  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation :  and,  behold, 
'the  cloud  covered  it,  and  'the  glory  of  the  Lord  appeared. 

43  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  came  before  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation. 

44  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

45  'Get  you  up  from  among  this  congregation,  that  I  may 
consume  them  as  in  a  moment.  And  "they  fell  upon  their  faces. 

46  ^And  Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  Take  a  censer,  and  put 
fire  therein  from  off  the  altar,  and  put  on  incense,  and  go 
quickly  unto  the  congregation,  and  make  an  atonement  for 
them :  ""for  there  is  wrath  gone  out  from  the  Lord  ;  the 
plague  is  begun. 

47  And  Aa'ron  took  as  Moses  commanded,  and  ran  into 
the  midst  of  the  congregation ;  and,  behold,  the  plague  was 
begun  among  the  people :  and  he  put  on  incense,  and  made 
an  atonement  for  the  people. 

48  And  he  stood  between  the  dead  and  the  living ;  and 
the  plague  was  stayed. 

49  Now  they  that  died  in  the  plague  were  fourteen  thou- 
sand and  seven  hundred,  besides  them  that  died  about  the 
matter  of  Ko'rah. 

50  And  Aa'ron  returned  unto  Mo'ses  unto  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation  :  and  the  plague  was  stayed. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

Aaron's  rod  among  all  the  rods  of  the  tribes  only  flourisheth. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  take  of  every 
one  of  them  a  rod  according  to  .the  house  oi  their  fathers,  of 
all  their   princes  according  to  the  house  of  their  fathers, 
twelve  rods :  write  thou  every  man's  name  upon  his  rod. 

3  And  thou  shalt  write  Aa'ron's  name  upon  the  rod  of  Le'vi : 
for  one  rod  shall  he  for  the  head  of  the  house  of  their  fathers. 

4  And  thou  shalt  lay  them  up  in  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation before  the  testimony,  "where  I  will  meet  with  you. 


31  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  made  an  end  of  speaking 
all  these  words,  that  the  ground  clave  asunder  that 

32  was  under  them :  and  the  earth  opened  her  mouth, 
and  swallowed  them  up,  and  their  households,  and 
all  the  men  that  appertained  unto  Ko'rah,  and  all 

33  their  goods.  So  they,  and  all  that  appertained  to 
them,  went  down  alive  into  'the  pit :  and  the  earth 
closed   upon  them,  and  they  perished  from  among 

34  the  assembly.  And  all  Is'ra-el  that  were  round  about 
them  fled  at  the  cry  of  them :  for  they  said.  Lest  the 

35  earth  swallow  us  up.  And  fire  came  forth  from  the 
Lord,  and  devoured  the  two  hundred  and  fifty  men 
that  offered  the  incense. 

36  And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

37  Speak  unto  E-le-a'zar  the  son  of  Aa'ron  the  priest,  that 
he  take  up  the  censers  out  of  the  burning,  and 
scatter  thou  the  fire    yonder ;    for  they   are    holy ; 

38  even  the  censers  of  ^these  sinners  against  their  own 
^lives,  and  let  them  be  made  beaten  plates  for  a  cov- 
ering of  the  altar :  for  they  offered  them  before  the 
Lord,  therefore  they  are  holy :  and  they  shall  be  a 

39  sign  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  E-le-a'zar  the 
priest  took  the  brasen  censers,  which  they  that  were 
burnt  had  offered;  and  they  beat  them  out  for  a 

40 covering  of  the  altar:  to  be  a  memorial  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  to  the  end  that  no  stranger, which 
is  not  of  the  seed  of  Aa'ron,  come  near  to  burn 
incense  before  the  Lord  ;  that  he  be  not  as  Ko'rah, 
and  as  his  company :  as  the  LoRD  spake  unto  him 
by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

41  But  on  the  morrow  all  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  murmured  against  Mo'ses  and 
against  Aa'ron,  saying.  Ye  have  killed  the  people  of 

42  the  Lord.     And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  congre 
gation    was    assembled    against  Mo'ses  and  against 
Aa'ron,  that  they  looked  toward  the  tent  of  meeting ; 
and,  behold,  the  cloud  covered  it,  and  the  glory  of 

43  the  Lord  appeared.     And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  came 

44  to  the  front  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  the  Lord 

45  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Get  you  up  from  among 
this  congregation,  that   I    may  consume  them  in  a 

46  moment.  And  they  fell  upon  their  faces.  And 
Mo'ses  said  unto  Aa'ron,  Take  thy  censer,  and  put 
fire  therein  from  off  the  altar,  and  lay  incense  thereon, 
and  carry  it  quickly  unto  the  congregation,  and 
make  atonement  for  them :  for  there  is  wrath  gone 

47 out  from  the  Lord;  the  plague  is  begun.  And 
Aa'ron  took  as  Mo'ses  spake,  and  ran  into  the  midst 
of  the  assembly ;  and,  behold,  the  plague  was  begun 
among  the  people :  and  he  put  on  the  incense,  and 

48  made  atonement  for  the  people.  And  he  stood 
between  the   dead   and  the  living ;  and  the  plague 

49  was  stayed.  Now  they  that  died  by  the  plague 
were  fourteen  thousand  and  seven  hundred,  besides 

60  them  that  died  about  the  matter  of  Ko'rah.  And 
Aa'ron  returned  unto  Mo'ses  unto  the  door  of  the 
tent  of  meeting :  and  the  plague  was  stayed. 

1/     And     the     Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,   saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  take  of  them 
rods,  one  for  each  fathers'  house,  of  all  their  princes 
according  to  their  fathers'  houses,  twelve  rods  :  write 

3  thou  every  man's  name  upon  his  rod.  And  thou 
shalt  write  Aa'ron's  name  upon  the  rod  of  Le'vi :  for 
there  shall  be  one  rod  for  each  head  of  their  fathers' 

4  houses.  And  thou  shalt  lay  them  up  in  the  tent  of 
meeting  before  the  testimony,  where  I  meet  with  you.

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the  man's  rod,  'whom  I 
shall  choose,  shall  blossom  :  and  I  will  make  to  cease  from 
me  the  murmurings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "whereby  they 
murmur  against  you. 

6  ^And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
every  one  of  their  princes  gave  him  fa  rod  apiece,  for  each 
prince  one,  according  to  their  fathers'  Rouses,  even  twelve 
rods  :  and  the  rod  of  Aa'ron  was  among  their  rods. 

7  And  Mo'ses  laid  up  the  rods  before  the  Lord  in  ''the 
tabernacle  of  witness. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  morrow  Mo'ses  went 
into  the  tabernacle  of  witness;  and,  behold,  the  rod  of 
Aa'ron  for  the  house  of  Le'vi  was  budded,  and  brought  forth 
buds,  and  bloomed  blossoms,  and  yielded  almonds. 

9  And  Mo'ses  brought  out  all  the  rods  from  before  the 
Lord  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  they  looked,  and 
took  every  man  his  rod. 

10  ^And  the  Lord  .said  unto  Mo'ses,  Bring  'Aa'ron's  rod 
again  before  the  testimony,  to  be  kept  -^for  a  token  against 
the  frebels;  "and  thou  shalt  quite  take  away  their  mur- 
murings from  me,  that  they  die  not. 

1 1  And  Mo'ses  did  so :  as  the  Lord  commanded  him,  so 
did  he. 

12  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
Behold,  we  die,  we  perish,  we  all  perish. 

13  ^Whosoever  cometh  any  thing  near  unto  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  Lord  shall  die :  shall  •  we  be  consumed 
with  dying? 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

The  priests^  portion — The  Levites'  portion. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Aa'ron,  "Thou  and  thy  sons 
and  thy  father's  house  with  thee  shall  ''bear  the  iniquity 
of  the  sanctuary :  and  thou  and  thy  sons  with  thee  shall 
bear  the  iniquity  of  your  priesthood. 

2  And  thy  brethren  also  of  the  tribe  of  Le'vi,  the  tribe  of 
thy  father,  bring  thou  with  thee,  that  they  may  be  "joined 
unto  thee,  and  ''minister  unto  thee :  but  'thou  and  thy  sons 
with  thee  shall  minister  before  the  tabernacle  of  witness. 

3  And  they  shall  keep  thy  charge,  and  ■'the  charge  of  all 
the  tabernacle:  'only  they  shall  not  come  nigh  the  vessels 
of  the  sanctuary  and  the  altar,  Hhat  neither  they,  nor  ye 
also,  die. 

4  And  they  shall  be  joined  unto  thee,  and  keep  the  charge 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  for  all  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle :  'and  a  stranger  shall  not  come  nigh  unto  you. 

5  And  ye  shall  keep  *the  charge  of  the  sanctuary,  and  the 
charge  of  the  altar;  'that  there  be  no  wrath  any  more  upon 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  I,  behold,  I  have  ""taken  your  brethren  the  Le'vites 
from  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  "to  you  they  are  given 
as  a  gift  for  the  Lord,  to  do  the  service  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation. 

7  Therefore  "thou  and  thy  sons  with  thee  shall  keep  your 
priest's  office  for  every  thing  of  the  altar,  and  "within  the 
veil ;  and  ye  shall  serve  :  I  have  given  your  priest's  office 
unto  you  as  a  service  of  gift :  and  the  stranger  that  cometh 
nigh  shall  be  put  to  death. 

8  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  Behold,  'I  also  have 
given  thee  the  charge  of  mine  heave  offerings  of  all  the  hal- 
lowed things  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  unto  thee  have  I 
given  them  ''by  reason  of  the  anointing,  and  to  thy  sons,  by 
an  ordinance  for  ever. 

9  This  shall  be  thine  of  the  most  holy  things,  reserved 
from  the  fire :  every  oblation  of  theirs,  every  'meat  offering 
of  theirs,  and  every  'sin  offering  of  theirs,  and  every  "tres- 
pass offering  of  theirs,  which  they  shall  render  unto  me, 
shall  be  most  holy  for  thee  and  for  thy  sons. 

10  ""In  the  most  holy  place  shalt  thou  eat  it ;  every  male 
shall  eat  it :  it  shall  be  holy  unto  thee. 


5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the  man  whom  I 
shall  choose,  his  rod  shall  bud  :  and  I  will  make  to 
cease  from  me  the  murmurings  of   the  children  of 

6  Is'ra-el,which  they  murmur  against  you.  And  Mo'ses 
spake  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  all  their 
princes  gave  him  rods,  for  eacb  prince  one,  accord- 
ing to  their  fathers'  houses,  even  twelve  rods :  and 

7  the  rod  of  Aa'ron  was  among  their  rods.  And 
Mo'ses  laid  up  the  rods  before  the  Lord  in  the  tent 

8  of  the  testimony.  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  Mo'ses  went  into  the  tent  of  the  testi- 
mony ;  and,  behold,  the  rod  of  Aa'ron  for  the  house 
of  Le'vi  was  budded,  and  put  forth  buds,  and  bloomed 

9  blossoms,  and  bare  ripe  almonds.  And  Mo'ses 
brought  out  all  the  rods  from  before  the  Lord 
unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :    and  they  looked, 

lOand  took  every  man  his  rod.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Mo'ses,  Put  back  the  rod  of  Aa'ron  before  the 
testimony,  to  be  kept  for  a  token  against  the  chil- 
dren of  rebellion ;  that  thou  mayest  make  an  end 
of  their  murmurings  against  me,  that  they  die  not. 

11  Thus  did  Mo'ses:  as  the  Lord  commanded  him,  so 
did  he. 

1 2  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  say- 
ing, Behold,  we  perish,  we  are  undone,  we  are  all 

13  undone.  Every  one  that  cometh  near,  that  cometh 
near  unto  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  'dieth:  shall 
we  perish  all  of  us? 

I^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Aa'ron,  Thou  and  thy 
suns  and  thy  father's  house  with  thee  shall  bear  the 
iniquity  of  the  sanctuary :  and  thou  and  thy  sons 
with  thee  shall  bear  the  iniquity  of  your  priesthood. 
2  And  thy  brethren  also,  the  tribe  of  Le'vi,  the  tribe 
of  thy  father,  bring  thou  near  with  thee,  that  they 
may  be  ^joined  unto  thee,  and  minister  unto  thee 
but  thou  and  thy  sons  with  thee  shall  be  before  the 
Stent  of  the  testimony.  And  they  shall  keep  thy 
charge,  and  the  charge  of  all  the  Tent :  only  they 
shall  not  come  nigh  unto  the  vessels  of  the  sanctu 
ary  and  unto   the  altar,  that  they   die  not,  neither 

4  they,  nor  ye.  And  they  shall  be  joined  unto  thee, 
and  keep  the  charge  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  for  all 
the  service  of  the  Tent :  and  a  stranger  shall  not 

5  come  nigh  unto  you.  And  ye  shall  keep  the  charge 
of  the  sanctuary,  and  the  charge  of  the  altar:  that 
there  be  wrath  no  more  upon  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  I,  behold,  I  have  taken  your  brethren  the  Le'- 
vites from  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  to  you 
they  are  a  gift,  given  unto  the  Lord,  to  do  the  serv- 

7  ice  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  thou  and  thy  sons 
with  thee  shall  keep  your  priesthood  for  every  thing 
of  the  altar,  and  for  that  within  the  veil ;  and  ye 
shall  serve :  I  give  you  the  priesthood  as  a  service 
of  gift :  and  the  stranger  that  cometh  nigh  shall  be 
put  to  death. 

8  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  And  I,  behold, 
I  have  given  thee  the  charge  of  mine  heave  offer- 
ings, even  all  the  hallowed  things  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  unto  thee  have  I  given  them  'by  reason  of  the 

9  anointing,  and  to  thy  sons,  as  a  due  for  ever.  This 
shall  be  thine  of  the  most  holy  things,  reserved  from 
the  fire  :  every  oblation  of  theirs,  even  every  meal  of- 
fering of  theirs,  and  every  sin  offering  of  theirs,  and 
every  guilt  offering  of  theirs,  which  they  shall  render 
unto  me,  shall  be  most  holy  for  thee  and  for  thy  sons. 

10  As  the  most  holy  things  shalt  thou  eat  thereof:  every 
male  shall  eat  thereof;  it  shall  be  holy  unto  thee.

thou  surely  redeem,  and  the  firstling  of  unclean  beasts  shalt 
thou  redeem. 

16  And  those  that  are  to  be  redeemed  from  a  month  old 
shalt  thou  redeem,  'according  to  thine  estimation,  for  the 
money  of  five  shekels,  after  the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary, 
*which  is  twenty  gerahs. 

17  'But  the  firstling  of  a  cow,  or  the  firstling  of  a  sheep, 
I  or  the  firstling  of  a  goat,  thou  shalt  not  redeem ;  they  are 

holy:  "thou  shalt  sprinkle  their  blood  upon  the  altar,  and 
shalt  burn  their  fat  for  an  offering  made  by  fire,  for  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  flesh  of  them  shall  be  thine,  as  the  "wave 
breast  and  as  the  right  shoulder  are  thine. 

19  "AH  the  heave  offerings  of  the  holy  things,  which  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  offer  unto  the  Lord,  have  I  given  thee, 
and  thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  with  thee,  by  a  statute  for- 
ever :  "it  is  a  covenant  of  salt  for  ever  before  the  Lord  unto 
thee  and  to  thy  seed  with  thee. 

20  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Aa'ron,  Thou  shalt  have 
no  inheritance  in  their  land,  neither  shalt  thou  have  any 
j)art  among  them:  "1  am  thy  part  and  thine  inheritance 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

21  And,  behold,  "^I  have  given  the  children  of  Le'vi  all  the 
tenth  in  Is'ra-el  for  an  inheritance,  for  their  service  which 
they  serve,  even  'the  service  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

22  'Neither  must  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  henceforth  come 
nigh  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  "lest  they  bear  sin, 
fand  die. 

23  ^But  the  Le'vites  shall  do  the  service  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  and  they  shall  bear  their  iniquity :  it 
shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  throughout  your  generations,  that 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  they  have  no  inheritance. 

24  "But  the  tithes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  they 
offer  as  a  heave  offering  unto  the  Lord,  I  have  given 
to  the  Le'vites  to  inherit:  therefore  I  have  said  unto 
them,  'Among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  they  shall  have  no 
inheritance. 

25  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

26  Thus  speak  unto  the  Le'vites,  and  say  unto  them.  When 
ye  take  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  the  tithes  which  I  have 
given  you  from  them  for  your  inheritance,  then  ye  shall 
offer  up  a  heave  offering  of  it  for  the  Lord,  even  "a  tenth 
part  of  the  tithe. 

27  ''And  this  your  heave  offering  shall  be  reckoned  unto 
you,  as  though  it  were  the  corn  of  the  threshingfloor,  and 
as  the  fulness  of  the  winepress. 

28  Thus  ye  also  shall  offer  a  heave  offering  unto  the 
Lord  of  all  your  tithes,  which  ye  receive  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el;  and  ye  shall  give  thereof  the  Lord's  heave  offering 
to  Aa'ron  the  priest. 

29  Out  of  all  your  gifts  ye  shall  offer  every  heave  offer- 
ing of  the  Lord,  of  all  the  fbest  thereof,  even  the  hallowed 
part  thereof  out  of  it. 


11  And  this  is  thine;  the  heave  offering  of  their  gift, 
even  all  the  wave  offerings  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 
I  have  given  them  unto  thee,  and  to  thy  sons  and  to 
thy  daughters  with  thee,as  a  due  for  ever:  every  one 

12  that  is  clean  in  thy  house  shall  eat  thereof.  All  the 
'best  of  the  oil,  and  all  the  'best  of  the  vintage,  and  of 
the  corn,  th^  firstfruits  of  them  which  they  give  unto 

13  the  Lord,  to  thee  have  I  given  them.  The  firstripe 
fruits  of  all  that  is  in  their  land,  which  they  bring 
unto  the  Lord,  shall  be  thine ;    every  one  that  is 

14  clean  in  thy  house  shall  eat  thereof.     Every  thing 

15  devoted  in  Is'ra-el  shall  be  thine  Every  thing  that 
openeth  the  womb,  of  all  flesn  which  they  offer 
unto  the  Lord,  both  of  man  and  beast,  shall  be 
thine:  nevertheless  the  firstborn  of  man  shalt  thou 
surely  redeem,  and  the  firstling  of  unclean   beasts 

16  shalt  thou  redeem.  ^And  those  that  are  to  be  re- 
deemed of  them  from  a  month  old  shalt  thou  re- 
deem, according  to  thine  estimation,  for  the  money 
of  five    shekels,  after   the  shekel  of  the  sanctuary 

17  (the  same  is  twenty  gerahs).  But  the  firstling  of  an 
ox,  or  the  firstling  of  a  sheep,  or  the  firstling  of  a 
goat,  thou  shalt  not  redeem ;  they  are  holy :  thou 
shalt  sprinkle  their  blood  upon  the  altar,  and  shalt 
burn  their  fat  for  an  offering  made   by  fire,  for  a 

18  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  flesh  of 
them  shall  be  thine,  as  the  wave  breast  and  as  the 

19  right  thigh,  it  shall  be  thine.  All  the  heave  offer- 
ings of  the  holy  tuings,  which  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
offer  unto  the  Lord,  have  I  given  thee,  and  thy 
sons  and  thy  daughters  with  thee,  as  a  r'ue  for  ever : 
it  is  a  covenant  of  salt  for  ever  before  the  Lord  unto 

20  thee  and  to  thy  seed  with  thee.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Aa'ron,  Thou  shalt  have  no  inheritance  in  their 
land,  neither  shalt  thou  have  any  portion  among 
them:  I  am  thy  portion  and  thine  inheritance 
among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

21  And  unto  the  children  of  Le'vi,  behold,  I  have 
given  all  the  tithe  in  Is'ra-el  for  an  inheritance,  in 
return  for  their  service  which  they  serve,  even  the 

22  service  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  henceforth  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  not  come  nigh  the  tent  of 

23  meeting,  lest  they  bear  sin,  and  die.  But  the  Le'- 
vites shall  do  the  service  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  and 
they  shall  bear  their  iniquity:  it  shall  be  a  statute 
for  ever  throughout  your  generations,  and  among 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  they  shall  have  no  inher- 

24  itance.  For  the  tithe  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
they  offer  as  an  heave  offering  unto  the  Lord,  I 
have  given  to  the  Le'vites  for  an  inheritance:  there- 
fore I  have  said  unto  them.  Among  the  children  of 
Ts'ra-el  they  shall  have  no  inheritance. 

25  And    the    Lord    spake     unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

26  Moreover  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  Le'"ites,  and 
say  unto  them.  When  ye  take  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  the  tithe  which  I  have  given  you  from  them 
for  your  inheritance,  then  ye  shall  offer  up  an 
heave  offering  of  it  for  the  Lord,  a  tithe   of  the 

27  tithe.  And  your  heave  offering  shall  be  reckoned 
unto  you,  as  though  it  were  the  corn  of  the 
threshing-floor,  and  as   the   fulness    of   the    wine- 

28  press.  Thus  ye  also  shall  offer  an  heave  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord  of  all  your  tithes,  which  ye 
receive  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el;  and  thereof  ye 
shall   give    the    Lord's    heave  offering   to   Aa'ron 

29  the  priest.  Out  of  all  your  gifts  ye  shall  offer 
every  heave  offering  of  the  Lord,  of  all  the  'best 
thereof,  even  the  hallowed  part  thereof  out  of  it.

CHAPTER  XIX. 

The  water  of  separation  made  of  the  ashes  of  a  red  heifer. 

AND  the   Lord  spake   unto   Mo'ses  and  unto    Aa'ron 
saying, 

2  This  i»  the  ordinance  of  the  law  which  the  Lord  hath 
commanded,  saying.  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that 
they  bring  thee  a  red  heifer  without  spot,  wherein  is  no 
blemish,  "^and  upon  which  never  came  yoke  : 

3  And  ye  shall  give  her  unto  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  that  he 
may  bring  her  'forth  without  the  camp,  and  one.  shall  slay 
her  before  his  face : 

4  And  E-le-a'zar  the  priest  shall  take  of  her  blood  with  his 
finger,  and  "sprinkle  of  her  blood  directly  before  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation  seven  times. 

5  And  one  shall  burn  the  heifer  in  his  sight ;  ""her  skin,  and 
her  flesh,  and  her  blood,  with  her  dung,  shall  he  burn  : 

6  And  the  priest  shall  take  'cedar  wood,and  hyssop,and  scar- 
let, and  cast  i<  into  the  midst  of  the  burning  of  the  heifer. 

7  -^Then  the  priest  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  he  shall 
bathe  his  flesh  in  water,  and  afterward  he  shall  come  into 
the  camp,  and  the  priest  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

8  And  he  that  burneth  her  shall  wash  his  clothes  in  water, 
and  bathe  his  flesh  in  water,  and  shall  be  unclean  until  the 
even. 

9  And  a  man  thai  is  clean  shall  gather  up  "the  ashes  of 
the  heifer,  and  lay  them  up  without  the  camp  in  a  clean 
place,  and  it  shall  be  kept  for  the  congregation  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  'for  a  water  of  separation :  it  is  a  purification 
for  sin. 

10  And  he  that  gathereth  the  ashes  of  the  heifer  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even:  and  it  shall  be 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  unto  the  stranger  that  so- 
journeth  among  them,  for  a  statute  for  ever. 

11  "if'He  that  toucheth  the  dead  body  of  any  fman  shall 
be  unclean  seven  days. 

12  *He  shall  purify  himself  with  it  on  the  third  day,  and 
on  the  seventh  day  he  shall  be  clean :  but  if  he  purify  not 
himself  the  third  day,  then  the  seventh  day  he  shall  not 
be  clean. 

13  Whosoever  toucheth  the  dead  body  of  any  man  that  is 
dead,  and  purifieth  not  himself,  'defileth  the  tabernacle  of 
the  Lord  ;  and  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  Is'ra-el :  be- 
cause ™the  water  of  separation  was  not  sprinkled  upon  him, 
he  shall  be  unclean ;  "his  uncleanness  is  yet  upon  him. 

14  This  is  the  law,  when  a  man  dieth  in  a  tent :  all  that 
come  into  the  tent,  and  all  that  is  in  the  tent,  shall  be  un- 
clean seven  days. 

15  And  every  "open  vessel,  which  hath  no  covering  bound 
upon  it,  is  unclean. 

16  And  "whosoever  toucheth  one  that  is  slain  with  a  sword 
in  the  open  fields,  or  a  dead  body,  or  a  bone  of  a  man,  or  a 
grave,  shall  be  unclean  seven  days. 

17  And  for  an  unclean  person  they  shall  take  of  the  f'ashes 
of  the  burnt  heifer  of  purification  for  sin,  and  frunning 
water  shall  be  put  thereto  in  a  vessel: 

18  And  a  clean  person  shall  take  ''hyssop,  and  dip  it  in 
the  water,  and  sprinkle  it  upon  the  tent,  and  upon  all  the 
vessels,  and  upon  the  persons  that  were  there,  and  upon 
him  that  touched  a  bone,  or  one  slain,  or  one  dead,  or  a  grave : 


30  Therefore  thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  When  ye  heave 
the  'best  thereof  from  it,  then  it  shall  be  counted 
unto  the  Le'vites  as  the  increase  of  the  threshing- 

31  floor,  and  as  the  increase  of  the  winepress.  And  ye 
shall  eat  it  in  every  place,  ye  and  your  households: 
for  it  is  your  reward  in  return  for  your  service  in 

32  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  ye  shall  bear  no  sin  by 
reason  of  it,  when  ye  have  heaved  from  it  the  'best 
thereof:  and  ye  shall  not  profane  the  holy  things 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Hh&t  ye  die  not. 

iv     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  unto  Aa'ron, 

2  saying,  This  is  the  statute  of  the  law  which  the  Lord 
hath  commanded,  saying.  Speak  unto  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  bring  thee  a  red  heifer  'without 
spot,  wherein  is  no  blemish,  and  upon  which  never 

3  came  yoke  :  and  ye  shall  give  her  unto  E-le-a'zar  the 
priest,  and  he   shall  bring  her   forth  without  the 

4  camp,  and  one  shall  slay  her  before  his  face :  and 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest  shall  take  of  her  blood  with  his 
finger,  and  sprinkle  of  her  blood  toward  the  front  of 

5  the  tent  of  meeting  seven  times :  and  one  shall  burn 
the  heifer  in  his  sight ;  her  skin,  and  her  flesh,  and 

6  her  blood,  with  her  dung,  shall  he  burn :  and  the 
priest  shall  take  cedar  wood,  and  hyssop,  and  scar- 
let, and  cast  it  into  the  midst  of  the  burning  of  the 

7  heifer.  Then  the  priest  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
he  shall  bathe  his  flesh  in  water,  and  afterward  ho 
shall  come  into  the  camp,  and  the  priest  shall  be 

8  unclean  until  the  even.  And  he  that  burneth  her 
shall  wash  his  clothes  in  water,  and  bathe  his  flesh 

9  in  water,  and  shall  be  unclean  until  the  even.  And 
a  man  that  is  clean  shall  gather  up  the  ashes  of  the 
heifer,  and  lay  them  up  without  the  camp  in  a  clci^n 
place,  and  it  shall  be  kept  for  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  for  a  water  of  ^separation :  it 

10  is  a  sin  offering.  And  he  that  gathereth  the  ashes 
of  the  heifer  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  be  unclean 
until  the  even:  and  it  shall  be  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  unto  the  stranger  that  sojourneth  among 

11  them,  for  a  statute  for  ever.  He  that  toucheth  the 
dead  body  of  any  man  shall  be  unclean  seven  days : 

12  the  same  shall  purify  himself  therewith  on  the  third 
day,  'and  on  the  seventh  day  he  shall  be  clean :  but 
if  he  purify  not  himself  the  third  day,  Hhen  the  sev- 

ISenth  day  he  shall  not  be  clean.  Whosoever  toucheth 
the  dead  body  of  any  man  that  is  dead,and  purifieth 
not  himself,  defileth  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  Is'ra-el :  because 
the  water  of  separation  was  not  sprinkled  upon  him, 
he  shall  be  unclean;    his    uncleanness   is   yet   upon 

14 him.  This  is  the  law  when  a  man  dieth  in  a  tent: 
every  one  that  cometh  into  the  tent,  and  every  one 
that  is  in  the  tent,  shall  be   unclean  seven   days. 

15  And   every   open   vessel,  which   hath   no   covering 

16  bound  upon  it,  is  unclean.  And  whosoever  in  the 
open  field  toucheth  one  that  is  slain  with  a  sword, 
or  a  dead  body,  or  a   bone   of  a  man,  or  a   grave, 

17  shall  be  unclean  seven  days.  And  for  the  unclean 
they  shall  take  of  the  ashes  of  the  burning  of  the 
sin  offering,  and  "running  water  shall  be  put  thereto 

18  in  a  vessel:  and  a  clean  person  shall  take  hyssop, 
and  dip  it  in  the  water,  and  sprinkle  it  upon 
the  tent,  and  upon  all  the  vessels,  and  upon  the 
persons  that  were  there,  and  upon  him  that  touched 
the  bone,  or  the  slain,  or  the  dead,  or  the  grave :

19  And  the  clean  person  shall  sprinkle  upon  the  unclean 
on  the  third  day,  and  on  the  seventh  day :  'and  on  the 
seventh  day  he  shall  purify  himself,  and  wash  his  clothes,

20  But  the  man  that  shall  be  unclean,  and  shall  not  purify 
himself,  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  among  the  congre-

the  water  of  separation  hath  not  been  sprinkled  upon  him ; 
he  is  unclean. 

21  And  it  shall  be  a  perpetual  statute  unto  them,  that  he 
that  sprinkleth  the  water  of  separation  shall  wash  his  clothes ;

CHAPTER  XX. 

The  children  of  Israel  murmur  for  water — Moses  smiteth  the  rock. 

THEN  "came  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  even  the  whole  con- 
gregation, into  the  desert  of  Zin  in  the  first  month :  and 
the  people  abode  in  Ka'desh ;  and  'Mir'i-am  died  there,  and 
was  buried  there. 

2  "And  there  was  no  water  for  the  congregation :  ''and 
they  gathered  themselves  together  against  Mo'ses  and 
against  Aa'ron. 

3  And  the  people  'chode  with  Mo'ses,  and  spake,  saying, 
Would  God  tnat  we  had  died  •'^when  our  brethren  died  be- 
fore the  Lord  ! 

4  And  "why  have  ye  brought  up  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord  into  this  wilderness,  that  we  and  our  cattle  should  die 
there  ? 

5  And  wherefore  have  ye  made  us  to  come  up  out  of 
E'gypt,  to  bring  us  unto  this  evil  place  ?  it  ts  no  place  of 
seed,  or  of  figs,  or  of  vines,  or  of  pomegranates ;  neither  is 
there  any  water  to  drink. 

6  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  went  from  the  presence  of  the 
assembly  unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, and  *they  fell  upon  their  faces :  and  'the  glory  of  the 
Lord  appeared  unto  them. 

7  *^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

8  *Take  the  rod,  and  gather  thou  the  assembly  together, 
thou  and  Aa'ron  thy  brother,  and  speak  ye  unto  the  rock 
before  their  eyes;  and  it  shall  give  forth  his  water,  and 
'thou  shalt  bring  forth  to  them  water  out  of  the  rock  :  so 
thou  shalt  give  the  congregation  and  their  beasts  drink. 

9  And  Mo'ses  took  the  rod  "from  before  the  Lord,  as  he 
commanded  him. 

10  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  gathered  the  congregation  to- 
gether before  the  rock,  and  he  said  unto  them,  "Hear  now, 
ye  rebels  ;  must  we  fetch  you  water  out  of  this  rock  ? 

11  And  Mo'ses  lifted  up  his  hand,  and  with  his  rod  he 
smote  the  rock  twice :  and  "the  water  came  out  abundantly, 
and  the  congregation  drank,  and  their  beasts  aUo. 

1 2  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  Because 
"ye  believed  me  not,  to  "sanctify  me  in  the  eyes  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  therefore  ye  shall  not  bi'ing  this  congregation 
into  the  land  which  I  have  given  them. 

13  ""This  is  the  water  of  ||  Mer'i-bah;  because  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  strove  with  the  LoRD,and  he  was  sanctified  in  them. 

14  ^'And  Mo'ses  sent  messengers  from  Ka'desh  unto  the 
king  of  E'dom,  'Thus  saith  thy  brother  Is'ra-el,  Thou  knowest 
all  the  travail  that  hath  fbefallen  us : 

15  "How  our  fathers  went  down  into  E'gypt,  "and  we  have 
dwelt  in  E'gypt  a  long  time ;  "'and  the  E-gyjj'tians  vexed  us, 
and  our  fathers. 

1 6  And  "when  we  cried  unto  the  Lord,  he  heard  our  voice, 
and  'sent  an  angel,  and  hath  brought  us  forth  out  of  E'gypt : 
and,  behold,  we  are  in  Ka'desh,  a  city  in  the  uttermost  of 
thy  border : 


19  and  the  clean  person  shall  sprinkle  upon  the  unclean 
on  the  third  day,  and  on  the  seventh  day :  and  on  the 
seventh  day  he  shall  purify  him;  and  he  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and  shall  be 

20  clean  at  even.  But  the  man  that  shall  be  unclean, 
and  shall  not  purify  himself,  that  soul  shall  be  cut 
off  from  the  midst  of  the  assembly,  because  ht  hath 
defiled  the  sanctuary  of  the  Lord  :  the  water  of 
separation  hath  not  been  sprinkled  upon  him ;  he  is 

21  unclean.  And  it  shall  be  a  perpetual  statute  unto 
them :  and  he  that  sprinkleth  the  water  of  separation 
shall  wash  his  clothes;  and  he  that  toucheth  the 
water  of  separation  shall   be   unclean    until  even. 

22  And  whatsoever  the  unclean  person  toucheth  shall 
be  unclean :  and  the  soul  that  toucheth  it  shall  be 
unclean  until  even. 

^vAnd  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  even  the  whole  con- 
gregation, came  into  the  wilderness  of  Zin  in  the 
first  month  :  and  the  people  abode  in  Ka'desh ;  and 

2  Mir'i-am  died  there,  and  was  buried  there.  And 
there  was  no  water  for  the  congregation  :  and  they 
assembled  themselves  together  against   Mo'ses  and 

3  against  Aa'ron.  And  the  people  strove  with  Mo'ses, 
and  spake,  saying.  Would  God  that   we  had  died 

4 when  our  brethren  died  before  the  Lord!  And 
why  have  ye  brought  the  assembly  of  the  Lord  into 
this  wilderness,  that  we  should  die  there,  we  and 

5  our  cattle  ?  And  wherefore  have  ye  made  us  to 
come  up  out  of  E'gypt,  to  bring  us  in  unto  this  evil 
place?  it  is  no  place  of  seed,  or  of  figs,  c''  rf  vines, 
or  of  pomegranates ;  neither  is  there  any  water  to 

6  drink.  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'r^  n  went  from  the  pres- 
ence of  the  assembly  unto  the  door  of  the  tent  of 
meeting,  and  fell  upon  their  faces :  and  the  glory  of 

7  the  Lord  appeared  unto  them.     And  the  Lord  spake 

8  unto  Mo'sesj  saying,  Take  the  rod,  and  assemble  the 
congregation,  thou,  and  Aa'ron  thy  brother,  and 
speak  ye  unto  the  rock  before  their  eyes,  that  it  give 
forth  its  water :  and  thou  shalt  bring  forth  to  them 
water  out  of  the  rock :  so  thou  shalt  give  the   con- 

9  gregation  and  their  cattle  drink.  And  Mo'ses  took 
the  rod  from   before  the  Lord,  as   he  commanded 

10  him.  And  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  gathered  the  assembly 
together  before  the  rock,  and  he  said  unto  them. 
Hear  now,  ye  rebels ;  shall  we  bring  you  forth  water 

11  out  of  this  rock?  And  Mo'ses  lifted  up  his  hand, 
and  smote  the  rock  with  his  rod  twice :  and  water 
came  forth  abundantly,  and  the  congregation  drank, 

12  and  their  cattle.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses 
and  Aa'ron,  Because  ye  believed  not  in  me,  to 
sanctify  me  in  the  eyes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
therefore  ye  shall  not  bring  this  assembly  into  the 

13  land  which  I  have  given  them.  These  are  the 
waters  of  'Mer'i-bah :  because  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  strove  with  the  Lord,  and  he  ^was  sanctified 
in  them. 

14  And  Mo'ses  sent  messengers  from  Ka'desh  unto 
the  king  of  E'dom,  Thus  saith  thy  brother  Is'ra-el, 
Thou  knowest  all  the  travail  that  hath  befallen  us : 

15  how  our  fathers  went  down  into  E'gypt,  and  we 
dwelt  in  E'gypt  a  long  time ;  and  the  E-gyp'tians  evil 

16  entreated  us,  and  our  fathers :  and  when  we  cried  unto 
the  Lord,  he  heard  our  voice,  and  sent  an  angel, 
and  brought  us  forth  out  of  E'gypt :  and,  behold,  we 
are  in  Ka'desh,  a  city  in  the  uttermost  of  thy  border :

17  "Let  us  pass,  I  pray  thee,  through  thy  country :  we  will 
not  pass  through  the  fields,  or  through  the  vineyards,  neither 
will  we  drink  of  the  water  of  the  wells ;  we  will  go  by  the 
king's  high  way,  we  will  not  turn  to  the  right  hand  nor  to 
the  left,  until  we  have  passed  thy  borders. 

18  And  E'dom  said  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  pass  by  me, 
lest  I  come  out  against  thee  with  the  sword. 

19  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  him,  We  will  go 
by  the  high  way:  and  if  I  and  my  cattle  drink  of  thy  water, 
'then  I  will  pay  for  it :  I  will  only,  without  doing  any  thing 
else,  go  through  on  my  feet. 

20  And  he  said,  "Thou  shalt  not  go  through.  And  E'dom 
came  out  against  him  with  much  people,  and  with  a  strong 
hand. 

21  Thus  E'dom  ''refused  to  give  Is'ra-el  passage  through  his 
border :  wherefore  Is'ra-el  'turned  away  from  him. 

22  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  even  the  whole  congrega- 
tion, journeyed  from -^Ka'desh,  "and  came  unto  mount  Hor. 

23  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  in  mount 
Hor,  by  the  coast  of  the  land  of  E'dom,  saying, 

24  Aa'ron  shall  be  ''gathered  unto  his  people  :  for  he  shall 
not  enter  into  the  land  which  I  have  given  unto  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  because  'ye  rebelled  against  my  fword  at  the  water 
of  Mer'i-bah. 

25  *Take  Aa'ron  and  E-le-a'zar  his  son,  and  bring  them  up 
unto  mount  Hor : 

26  And  strip  Aa'ron  of  his  garments,  and  put  them  upon 
E-le-a'zar  his  son :  and  Aa'ron  shall  be  gathered  unto  his 
people,  and  shall  die  there. 

27  And  Mo'ses  did  as  the  Lord  commanded :  and  they 
went  up  into  mount  Hor  in  the  sight  of  all  the  congregation. 

28  'And  Mo'ses  stripped  Aa'ron  of  his  garments,  and  put 
them  upon  E-le-a'zar  his  son ;  and  "Aa'ron  died  there  in  the 
top  of  the  mount :  and  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  carae  down  from 
the  mount. 

29  And  when  all  the  congregation  saw  that  Aa'ron  was 
dead,  they  mourned  for  Aa'ron  "thirty  days,  even  all  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

Thg  people,  repenting ,  are  healed  by  a  brazen  serpent — Sihon  and  Og  overcome. 

AND  when  "king  A'rad  the  Ca'naan-ite,  which  dwelt  in 
the  south,  heard  tsll  that  Is'ra-el  came  ""by  the  way  of 
the  spies ;  then  he  fought  against  Is'ra-el,  and  took  some  of 
them  prisoners, 

2  "And  Is'ra-el  vowed  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  If 
thou  wilt  indeed  deliver  this  people  into  my  hand,  then  ''I 
will  utterly  destroy  their  cities. 

3  And  th<e  Lord  hearkened  to  the  voice  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
delivered  up  the  Ca'naan-ites ;  and  they  utterly  destroyed 
them  and  their  cities :  and  he  called  the  name  of  the  place 
IIHor'mah. 

4  ^And  'they  journeyed  from  mount  Hor  by  the  way  of 
the  Red  sea,  to  /compass  the  land  of  E'dom  :  and  the  soul 
of  the  people  was  much  Hfdi.scouraged  because  of  the  way. 

5  And  the  people  "spake  against  God,  and  against  Mo'ses, 
'Wherefore  have  ye  brought  us  up  out  of  E'gypt  to  die  in 
the  wilderness?  for  there  is  no  bread,  neither  is  there  any 
water ;  and  'our  soul  loatheth  this  light  bread. 

6  And  'the  Lord  sent  'fiery  serpents  among  the  people, 
and  they  bit  the  people  ;  and  much  people  of  Is'ra-el  died. 

7  ^^'"Therefore  the  people  came  to  Mo  ses,  and  said.  We 
have  sinned,  for  "we  have  spoken  against  the  Lord,  and 
against  thee ;  "pray  unto  the  Lord,  that  he  take  away  the 
serpents  from  us.     And  Mo'ses  prayed  for  the  people. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Make  thee  a  fiery 
serpent,  and  set  it  upon  a  pole  :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  every  one  that  is  bitten,  when  he  looketh  upon  it, 
shall  live. 

9  And ''Mo'ses  made  a  serpent  of  brass,  and  put  it  upon  a  pole, 


17 let  us  pass,  I  pray  thee,  through  thy  land:  we 
will  not  pass  through  field  or  through  vineyard, 
neither  will  we  drink  of  the  water  of  the  wells : 
we  will  go  along  the  king's  high  way,  we  will 
not  turn  aside  to  the  right  hand  nor  to    the    left, 

18  until  we  have  passed  thy  border.  And  E'dom  said 
unto  him,  Thou  shalt  not  pass  through  me,  lest  I 

19  come  out  with  the  sword  against  thee.  And  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  .said  unto  him,  We  will  go  up  by 
the  high  way  :  and  if  we  drink  of  thy  water,  I  and 
my  cattle,  then  will  I  give  the  price  thereof:  let  me 
only,  without  doing  any  thing  else,  pass  through  on 

20  my  feet.  And  he  said,  Thou  shalt  not  pass  through. 
And  E'dom  came  out  against  him  with  much  people, 

21  and  with  a  strong  hand.  Thus  E'dom  refused  to 
give  Is'ra-el  passage  through  his  border :  wherefore 
Is'ra-el  turned  away  from  him. 

22  And  they  journeyed  from  Ka'desh :  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  even  the   whole   congregation, 

23  came  unto  mount  Hor.  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  in  mount  Hor,  by  the  border  of 

24  the  land  of  E'dom,  saying,  Aa'ron  shall  be  gathered 
unto  his  people :  for  he  shall  not  enter  into  the  land 
which  I  have  given  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  be- 
cause ye  rebelled  against  my  word  at  the  waters  of 

25  Mer'i-bah.     Take  Aa'ron  and  E-le-a'zar  his  son,  and 

26  bring  them  up  unto  mount  Hor:  and  strip  Aa'ron  of 
his  garments,  and  put  them  upon  E-le-a'zar  his  son : 
and  Aa'ron  shall  be  gathered  unto  his  people,  and 

27  shall  die  there.  And  Mo'ses  did  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded :  and  they  went  up  into  mount  Hor  in  the 

28  sight  of  all  the  congregation.  And  Mo'ses  stripped 
Aa'ron  of  his  garments,  and  put  them  upon  E-le-a  zar 
his  son ;  and  Aa'ron  died  there  in  the  top  of  the 
mount :  and  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  came  down  from  the 

29  mount.  And  when  all  the  congregation  saw  that 
Aa'ron  was  dead,  they  wept  for  Aa  ron  thirty  days, 
even  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

^i  And  the  Ca'naan-ite,  the  king  of  A'rad,  which  dwelt 
in  the  South,  heard  tell  that  Is'ra-el  came  by  the  way 
'of  Ath'a-rim ;  and  he  fought  against  Is'ra-el,  and  took 

2  some  of  them  captive.  And  Is'ra-el  vowed  a  vow 
unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  If  thou  wilt  indeed  deliver 
this  people  into  my  hand,  then  I  will  ^utterly  de- 

3  stroy  their  cities.  And  the  Lord  hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  Is'ra-el,  and  delivered  up  the  Ca'naan-ites ; 
and  they  ^utterly  destroyed  them  and  their  cities : 
and  the  name  of  the  place  was  called  *Hor'mah. 

4  And  they  journeyed  from  mount  Hor  by  the 
way  to  the  Red  Sea,  to  compass  the  land  of  E'dom  : 
and   the  soul  of  the  people  'was  much  discouraged 

5  ^because  of  the  way.  And  the  people  spake  against 
God,  and  against  Mo'ses,  Wherefore  have  ye  brought 
us  up  out  of  E'gypt  to  die  in  the  wilderness  ?  for 
there  is  no  bread,  and  there  is  no  water ;  and  our 

6  soul  loatheth  this  'light  bread.  And  the  Lord  sent 
fiery  serpents  among  the  people,  and  they  bit  the 

7  people  ;  and  much  people  of  Is'ra-el  died.  And  the 
people  came  to  Mo'ses,  and  said.  We  have  sinned, 
because  we  have  spoken  against  the  Lord,  and 
against  thee ;  pray  unto  the  Lord,  that  he  take 
away  the  serpents  from  us.     And  Mo'ses  prayed  for 

8  the  people.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Make 
thee  a  fiery  serpent,  and  set  it  upon  a  standard  : 
and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every    one   tiiat   is 

9  bitten,  when  he  seeth  it,  shall  live.  And  Mo'ses 
made  a  serpent  of  brass,  and  set  it  upon  the  standard :

and  it  came  to  pass,  that  if  a  serpent  had  bitten  any  man, 
when  he  beheld  the  serpent  of  brass,  he  lived. 

10  ^And  tJie  children  of  Is'ra-el  set  forward,  and  'pitched 
in  O'both. 

11  And  they  journeyed  from  O'both,  and  "^pitched  at  ||I)'e- 
ab'a-rim,  in  the  wilderness  which  is  before  Mo'ab  toward  the 
sunrising. 

12  ^'From  thence  they  removed,  and  pitched  in  the  valley 
of  Za'red. 

13  From  thence  they  removed,  and  pitched  on  the  other 
side  of  Ar'non,  which  is  in  the  wilderness  that  cometh  out 
of  the  coasts  of  the  Am'o-rites :  for  'Ar'non  is  the  border  of 
Mo'ab,  between  Mo'ab  and  the  Am'o-rites. 

14  Wherefore  it  is  .said  in  the  book  of  the  wars  of  the 
Lord,  ||  What  he  did  in  the  Red  sea,  and  in  the  brooks  of 
Ar'non, 

15  And  at  the  stream  of  the  brooks  that  goeth  down 
to  the  dwelling  of  Ar,  "and  flieth  upon  the  border  of 
Mo'ab. 

16  And  from  thence  they  went  "^o  Be'er:  that  is  the  well 
whereof  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  Gather  the  people 
together,  and  I  will  give  them  water. 

17  ^"Then  Is'ra-el  sang  this  song,  fSpring  up,  O  well ; 
sing  ye  unto  it : 

18  The  princes  digged  the  well,  the  nobles  of  the  people 
digged  it,  Dy  the  direction  o/'the  lawgiver,  with  their  staves. 
And  from  the  wilderness  they  went  to  Mat'ta-nah : 

19  And  from  Mat'ta-nah  to  Na-ha'li-el :  and  from  Na-ha'- 
li-el  to  Ba'moth: 

20  And  from  Ba'moth  in  the  valley,  that  is  in  the  fcoun- 
try  of  Mo'ab,  to  the  top  of  ||  Pis'gah,  which  looketh  "toward 

Jesh'i-mon. 

21  ^And  *Is'ra-el  sent  messengers  unto  Si'hon  king  of 
the  Am'o-rites,  saying, 

22  ''Let  me  pass  through  thy  land :  we  will  not  turn  into 
the  fields,  or  into  the  vineyards ;  we  will  not  drink  of  the 
waters  of  the  well :  but  we  will  go  along  by  the  king's  high 
way,  until  we  be  past  thy  borders. 

23  ''And  Si'hon  would  not  suffer  Is'ra-el  to  pass  through 
his  border:  but  Si'hon  gathered  all  his  people  together, 
and  went  out  against  Is'ra-el  into  the  wilderness :  'and  he 
came  to  Ja'haz,  and  fought  against  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  ■'^ Is'ra-el  smote  him  with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
and  possessed  his  land  from  Ar'non  unto  Jab'bok,  even 
unto  the  children  of  Am'mon :  for  the  border  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  was  strong. 

25  And  Is'ra-el  took  all  these  cities:  and  Is'ra-el  dwelt 
in  all  the  cities  of  the  Am'o-rites,  in  Hesh'bon,  and  in  all 
the  fvillages  thereof. 

26  For  Hesh'bon  was  the  city  of  Si'hon  the  king  of  the 
Am'o-rites,  who  had  fought  against  the  former  king  of 
Mo'ab,  and  taken  all  his  land  out  of  his  hand,  even  unto 
Ar'non. 

27  Wherefore  they  that  speak  in  proverbs  say.  Come  into 
Hesh'bon,  let  the  city  of  Si'hon  be  built  and  prepared. 

28  For  there  is  "a  fire  gone  out  of  Hesh'bon,  a  flame  from 
the  city  of  Si'hon  :  it  hath  consumed  *Ar  of  Mo'ab,  and  the 
lords  of  the  high  places  of  Ar'non. 

29  Woe  to  thee,  Mo'ab !  thou  art  undone,  O  people 
of  'Che'mosh :  he  hath  given  his  sons  that  escaped,  and 
his  daughters,  into  captivity  unto  Si'hon  king  of  the 
Am'o-rites. 

30  We  have  shot  at  them ;  Hesh'bon  is  perished  even  *unto 
Di'bon,  and  we  have  laid  them  waste  even  unto  No'phah, 
which  reacheth  unto  'Med'e-ba. 

31  ^Thus  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rites. 

32  And  Mo'ses  sent  to  spy  out  "Ja-a'zer,  and  they  took 
the  villages  thereof,  and  drove  ont  the  Am'o-rites  that 
were  there. 


and  it  came  to  pass,  that  if  a  serpent  had  bitten  any 

man,  when  he  looked  unto  the  serpent  of  brass,  he 

10 lived.     And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  journeyed,  and 

11  pitched  in  O'both.  And  they  journeyed  from  O'both, 
and  pitched  at  I-ye-ab'a-rim,  in  the  wilderness  which 

12  is  before  Mo'ab,  toward  the  sunrising.  From  thence 
they  journeyed,  and  pitched  in  the  valley  of  Ze'red. 

13  From  thence  they  journeyed,  and  pitched  on  the 
other  side  of  Ar'non,  which  is  in  the  wilderness,  that 
cometh  out  of  the  border  of  the  Am'o-rites :  for 
Ar'non  is  the  border  of  Mo'ab,  between  Mo'ab  and 

14  the  Am'o-rites.  Wherefore  it  is  said  in  the  book  of 
the  Wars  of  the  Lord, 

Va'heb  'in  Su'phah, 

And  the  valleys  of  Ar'non, 

15  And  the  slope  of  the  valleys 

That  inclineth  toward  the  dwelling  of  Ar, 
And  leaneth  upon  the  border  of  Mo'ab. 

16  And  from  thence  they  journeyed  to  ^Be'er :  that  is  the 
well  whereof  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Gather  the 
people  together,  and  I  will  give  them  water. 

17  Then  sang  Is'ra-el  this  song : 

Spring  up,  O  well ;  sing  ye  unto  it : 

18  The  well,  which  the  princes  digged. 
Which  the  nobles  of  the  people  delved, 
'With  the  sceptre,  and  with  their  staves. 

And    from  the    wilderness  they  journeyed  to  Mat'- 

19  ta-nah  :  and  from  Mat'ta-nah  to  Na-ha'li-el :  and  from 

20  Na-ha'li-el  to  Ba'moth :  and  from  Ba'moth  to  the  val- 
ley that  is  in  the  field  of  Mo'ab,  to  the  top  of  Pis'gah, 
which  looketh  down  upon  *the  desert. 

21  And  Is'ra-el  sent  messengers  unto  Si'hon  king  of 

22  the  Am'o-rites,  saying,  Let  me  pass  through  thy 
land  :  we  will  not  turn  aside  into  field,  or  into  vine- 
yard ;  we  will  not  drink  of  the  water  of  the  wells : 
we  will  go  by  the  king's  high  way  until  we  have 

23  passed  thy  border.  And  Si'hon  would  not  suffer 
Is'ra-el  to  pass  through  his  border :  but  Si'hon  gath- 
ered all  his  people  together,  and  went  out  against 
Is'ra-el  into  the  wilderness,  and  came  to  Ja'haz :  and 

24  he  fought  against  Is'ra-el.  And  Is'ra-el  smote  him 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  possessed  his  land 
from  Ar'non  unto  Jab'bok,  even  unto  the  children  of 
Am'mon :  for  the  border  of  the  children  of  Am'mon 

25  was  strong.  And  Is'ra-el  took  all  these  cities :  and 
Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  all  the  cities  of  the  Am'o-rites,  in 

26  Hesh'bon,  and  in  all  the  'iiowns  thereof.  For  Hesh'- 
bon was  the  city  of  Si'hon  the  kingof  the*Am'o-rites, 
who  had  fought  against  the  former  king  of  Mo'ab, 
and  taken  all  his  land  out  of  his  hand,  even  unto 

27  Ar'non.     Wherefore  they  that  speak  in  proverbs  say. 

Come  ye  to  Hesh'bon, 

Let  the  city  of  Si'hon  be  built  and  established : 

28  For  a  fire  is  gone  out  of  Hesh'bon, 
A  flame  from  the  city  of  Si'hon : 

It  hath  devoured  Ar  of  Mo'ab, 

The  lords  of  'the  high  places  of  Ar'non. 

29  Woe  to  thee,  Mo'ab ! 

Thou  art  undone,  O  people  of  Che'mosh : 
He  hath  given  his  sons  as  fugitives, 
And  his  daughters  into  captivity. 
Unto  Si'hon  king  of  the  Am'o-rites. 

30  We  have  shot  at  them ;  Hesh'bon  is  perished  even 

unto  Di'bon, 
And  we  have  laid  waste  even  unto  No'phah, 
'Which  reacheth  unto  Med'e-ba. 
IJ  Thus  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rites.   And 
Mo'ses  sent  to  spy  out  Ja'zer,  and  they  took  the  towns 
thereof,  and  drove  out  the  Am'o-rites  that  were  there.

and  Og  the  king  of  Ba'shan  went  out  against  them,  he,  and 
all  his  people,  to  the  battle  "at  Ed're-i. 

34  And  the  Lohd  said  unto  Mo'ses,  "Fear  him  not :  for  I 
have  delivered  him  into  thy  hand,  and  all  his  people,  and  his 
land ;  and  'thou  shalt  do  to  him  as  thou  didst  unto  Si'hon

until  there  was  none  left  him  alive:  and  they  possessed

CHAPTER  XXII. 

An  angel  would  have  slain  Balaam,  ij  his  ass  had  not  saved  him. 

AND  "the  children  of  Is'ra-el  set  forward,  and  pitched  in 
the  plains  of  Mo'ab  on  this  side  Jor'dan  by  Jer'i-cho. 

2  ^And  ""Ba'lak  the  son  of  Zip'por  saw  all  that  Is'ra-el 
had  done  to  the  Am'o-rites. 

3  And  "Mo'ab  was  sore  afraid  of  the  people,,  because  they 
were  many :  and  Mo'ab  was  distressed  oecause  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el. 

4  And  Mo'ab  said  unto  ''the  elders  of  Mid'i-an,  Now  shall 
this  company  lick  up  all  that  are  round  about  us,  as  the  ox 
licketh  up  the  grass  of  the  field.  And  Ba'lak  the  son  of 
Zip'por  was  king  of  the  Mo'ab-ites  at  that  time. 

5  "He  sent  messengers  therefore  unto  Ba'laam  the  son  of 
Be'or  to-^Pe'thor,  which  is  by  the  river  of  the  land  of  the 
children  of  his  people,  to  call  him,  saying.  Behold,  there  is 
a  people  come  out  from  E'gypt:  behold,  they  cover  the 
fface  of  the  earth,  and  they  abide  over  against  me : 

6  Come  now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  "curse  me  this  people ; 
for  they  are  too  mighty  for  me  :  peradventure  I  shall  pre- 
vail, that  we  may  smite  them,  and  that  I  may  drive  them 
out  of  the  land :  for  I  wot  that  he  whom  thou  blessest  is 
blessed,  and  he  whom  thou  cursest  is  cursed. 

7  And  the  elders  of  Mo'ab  and  the  elders  of  Mid'i-an  departed 
with  *the  rewards  of  divination  in  their  hand ;  and  they 
came  unto  Ba'laam,  and  spake  unto  him  the  words  of  Ba'lak. 

8  And  he  said  unto  them,  'Lodge  here  this  night,  and  I 
will  bring  you  word  again,  as  the  Lord  shall  speak  unto 
me :  and  the  princes  of  Mo'ab  abode  with  Ba'laam. 

9  *And  God  came  unto  Ba'laam,  and  said,  What  men  are 
these  with  thee? 

10  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  God,  Ba'lak  the  son  of  Zip'por, 
king  of  Mo'ab,  hath  sent  unto  me,  saying, 

1 1  Behold,  there  is  a  people  come  out  of  E'gypt,  which  co  ver- 
eth  the  face  of  the  earth :  come  now,  curse  me  them ;  perad- 
venture fl  shall  be  able  to  overcome  them,  and  drive  them  out. 

1 2  And  God  said  unto  Ba'laam,Thou  shalt  not  go  with  them ; 
thou  shalt  not  curse  the  people :  for  'they  are  blessed. 

13  And  Ba'laam  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and  said  unto  the 
princes  of  Ba'lak,  Get  you  into  your  land :  for  the  Lord 
refuseth  to  give  me  leave  to  go  with  you. 

14  And  the  princes  of  Mo'ab  rose  up,  and  they  went  unto 
Ba'lak,  and  said,  Ba'laam  refuseth  to  come  with  us. 

15  ^And  Ba'lak  sent  yet  again  princes,  more,  and  more 
honourable  than  they. 

16  And  they  came  to  Ba'laam,  and  said  to  him.  Thus  saith 
Ba'lak  the  son  of  Zip'por,  fLet  nothing,  I  pray  thee,  hinder 
thee  from  coming  unto  me : 

17  For  I  will  promote  thee  unto  very  great  honour,  and  I 
will  do  whatsoever  thou  sayest  unto  me :  "come  therefore, 
I  pray  thee,  curse  me  this  people. 

18  And  Ba'laam  answered  and  said  unto  the  servants  of 
Ba'lak,  "If  Ba'lak  would  give  me  his  house  full  of  silver  and 
gold,  "I  cannot  go  beyond  the  word  of  the  Lord  my  God, 
to  do  less  or  more. 

19  Now  therefore,  I  pray  you,  "tarry  ye  also  here  this  night, 
that  I   may  know  what  the  Lord  will  say  unto  me   more. 

20  'And  God  came  uuto  Ba'laam  at  night,  and  said  unto 
him,  If  the  men  come  to  call  thee,  rise  up,  and  go  with 


33  And  they  turned  and  went  up  by  the  way  of  Ba'shan  : 
and  Og  the  king  of  Ba'shan  went  out  against  them, 

34  he  and  all  his  people,  to  battle  at  Ed're-i.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Fear  him  not :  for  I  have 
delivered  him  into  thy  hand,  and  all  his  people,  and 
his  land ;  and  thou  shalt  do  to  him  as  thou  didst 
unto  Si'hon  king  of  the  Am'o-rites,  which  dwelt  at 

35  Hesh'bon.  So  they  smote  him,  and  his  sons,  and  all 
^^  his  people,  until  there  was  none  left  him  remaining : 
^^  and  they  possessed  his  land.     And  the  children  of 

Is'ra-el  journeyed,  and  pitched  in  the  plains  of  Mo'ab 

beyond  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i-cho. 
2     And  Ba'lak  the  son  of  Zip'por  saw  all  that  Is'ra-el 
Shad  done  to  the  Am'o-rites.     And  Mo'ab  was  sore 

afraid  of  the  people,  because  they  were  many :  and 

Mo'ab  'was  distressed  because   of   the   children   of 

4  Is'ra-el.  And  Mo'ab  said  unto  the  elders  of  Mid'i-an, 
Now  shall  ^this  multitude  lick  up  all  that  is  round 
about  us,  as  the  ox  licketh  up  the  grass  of  the  field 
And  Ba'lak  the  son  of  Zip'por  was  king  of  Mo'ab  at 

5  that  time.  And  he  sent  messengers  unto  Ba'laam 
the  son  of  Be'or,  to  Pe'thor,  which  is  by  the  River, 
to  the  land  of  the  children  of  his  people,  to  call  him, 
saying.  Behold,  there  is  a  people  come  out  from 
E'gypt:  behold,  they   cover  the  ^face  of  the  earth, 

6  and  they  abide  over  against  me :  come  now  there 
fore,  I  pray  thee,  curse  me  these  people  ;  for  they  are 
too  mighty  for  me  :  peradventure  I  shall  prevail,  that 
we  may  smite  them,  and  that  I  may  drive  them  out 
of  the  land :  for  I  know  that  he  whom  thou  blessest 
is  blessed,  and   he   whom   thou    cursest   is    cursed 

7  And  the  elders  of  Mo'ab  and  the  elders  of  Mid'i-an 
departed  with  the  rewards  of  divination  in  their 
hand ;  and  they  came  unto  Ba'laam,  and  spake  unto 

8  him  the  words  of  Ba'lak.  And  he  said  unto  them. 
Lodge  here  this  night,  and  I  will  bring  you  word 
again,  as  the  Lord  shall  speak  unto  me :  and  the 

9  princes  of  Mo'ab  abode  with  Ba'laam.  And  God 
came  unto  Ba'laam,  and  said.  What  men  are  these 

10  with  thee  ?  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  God,  Ba'lak  the 
son  of  Zip'por,  king  of  Mo'ab,  hath  sent  unto  me, 

1 1  saying,  Behold,  the  people  that  is  come  out  of  E'gypt, 
it  covereth  the  face  of  the  earth :  now,  come  curse 
me   them;    peradventure   I  shall  be  able  to  fight 

12  against  them,  and  shall  drive  them  out.  And  God 
said  unto  Ba'laam,  Thou  shalt  not  go  with  them; 
thou  shalt  not  curse  the  people :  for  they  are  blessed. 

13  And  Ba'laam  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and  said  unto 
the  princes  of  Ba'lak,  Get  you  into  your  land  :  for 
the  Lord  refuseth  to  give  me  leave  to  go  with  you. 

14  And  the  princes  of  Mo'ab  rose  up,  and  they  went 
unto  Ba'lak,  and  said,  Ba'laam  refuseth  to  come  with 

15  us.     And   Ba'lak   sent  yet  again  princes,  more,  and 

16  more  honourable  than  they.  And  they  came  to 
Ba'laam,  and  said  to  him,  Thus  saith  Ba'lak  the 
son  of  Zip'por,  Let  nothing,   I  pray  thee,  hinder 

17 thee  from  coming  unto  me:  for  I  will  promote 
thee  unto  very  great  honour,  and  whatsoever  thou 
sayest  unto  me   I  will  do :  come  therefore,  I  pray 

18  thee,  curse  me  this  people.  And  Ba'laam  answered 
and  said  unto  the  servants  of  Ba'lak,  If  Ba'lak  would 
give  me  his  house  full  of  silver  and  gold,  I  can- 
not go   beyond  the  word  of  the  Lord  my   God, 

19  to  do  less  or  more.  Now  therefore,  I  pray  you, 
tarry  ye  also  here  this  night,  that  I  may  know  what 

20  the  Lord  will  speak  unto  me  more.  And  God 
came  unto  Ba'laam  at  night,  and  said  unto  him.  If 
the  men  be  come  to  call  thee,  rise   up,   go   with

them ;  but  'yet  the  word  which  I  shall  say  unto  thee,  that 
shalt  thou  do. 

21  And  Ba'laam  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and  saddled  his 
ass,  and  went  with  the  princes  of  Mo'ab. 

22  ^And  God's  anger  was  kindled  because  he  went :  'and 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  stood  in  the  way  for  an  adversary 
against  him.  Now  he  was  riding  upon  his  ass,  and  his  two 
servants  were  with  him. 

23  And  'the  ass  saw  the  angel  of  the  Lord  standing  in  the 
way,  and  his  sword  drawn  in  his  hand :  and  the  ass  turned 
aside  out  of  the  way,  and  went  into  the  field :  and  Ba'laam 
smote  the  ass,  to  turn  her  into  the  way. 

24  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord  stood  in  a  path  of  the  vine- 
yards, a  wall  being  on  this  side,  and  a  wall  on  that  side. 

25  And  when  the  ass  saw  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  she 
thrust  herself  unto  the  wall,  and  crushed  Ba'laam's  foot 
against  the  wall :  and  he  smote  her  again. 

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  went  further,  and  stood  in 
a  narrow  place,  where  was  no  way  to  turn  either  to  the 
right  hand  or  to  the  left. 

27  And  when  the  ass  saw  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  she  fell 
down  under  Ba'laam :  and  Ba'laam's  anger  was  kindled,  and 
he  smote  the  ass  with  a  staff. 

28  And  the  Lord  "opened  the  mouth  of  the  ass,  and  she 
said  unto  Ba'laam,  What  have  I  done  unto  thee,  that  thou 
hast  smitten  me  these  three  times  ? 

29  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  the  .  ass,  Because  thou  hast 
mocked  me  :  I  would  there  were  a  sword  in  mine  hand,  "^for 
now  would  I  kill  thee. 

30  "And  the  ass  said  unto  Ba'laam,  Am  not  I  thine  ass,  fupon 
which  thou  hast  ridden  ||ever  since  I  was  thine  unto  this  day  ? 
was  I  ever  wont  to  do  so  unto  thee?  And  he  said.  Nay. 

31  Then  the  Lord  "opened  the  eyes  of  Ba'laam,  and  he 
saw  the  angel  of  the  Lord  standing  in  the  way,  and  his 
sword  drawn  in  his  hand:  and  he  "bowed  down  his  head, 
and  II  fell  flat  on  his  face. 

32  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Wherefore  hast 
thou  smitten  thine  ass  these  three  times?  Behold,  I  went  out 
fto  withstand  thee,  because  thy  way  is  'perverse  before  me : 

33  And  the  ass  saw  me,  and  turned  from  me  these  three 
times :  unless  she  had  turned  from  me,  surely  now  also  I 
had  slain  thee,  and  saved  her  alive. 

34  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  "I  have 
sinned ;  for  I  knew  not  that  thou  stoodest  in  the  way  against 
me :  now  therefore,  if  it  fdisplease  thee,  I  will  get  me  back 
again. 

35  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  Ba'laam,Go  with  the 
men  :  ''but  only  the  word  that  I  shall  speak  unto  thee,  that 
thou  shalt  speak.  So  Ba'laam  went  with  the  princes  of  Ba'lak. 

36  ^And  when  Ba'lak  heard  that  Ba'laam  was  come,  'he 
went  out  to  meet  him  unto  a  city  of  Mo'ab, -^which  is  in  the 
border  of  Ar'non,  which  is  in  the  utmost  coast. 

37  And  Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'laam,  Did  I  not  earnestly  send 
unto  thee  to  call  thee?  wherefore  earnest  thou  not  unto 
me?  am  I  not  able  indeed  'to  promote  thee  to  honour? 

38  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Lo,  I  am  come  unto 
thee :  have  I  now  any  power  at  all  to  say  any  thing  ?  ''the 
word  that  God  putteth  in  my  mouth,  that  shall  I  speak. 

39  And  Ba'laam  went  with  Ba'lak,  and  they  came  unto 
II  Kir'jath-hu'zoth. 

40  And  Ba'lak  offered  oxen  and  sheep,  and  sent  to  Ba'laam, 
and  to  the  princes  that  were  with  him. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Ba'lak  took 
Ba'laam,  and  brought  him  up  into  the  *high  places  of  Ba'al, 
that  thence  he  might  see  the  utmost  part  of  the  people.

Batak^s  sacrifice— Balaam's  parable. 

AND  Ba'laam   said   unto  Ba'lak,  "Build  me  here  seven 
altars  and  prepare  me  here  seven  oxen  and  seven  rams. 


them;  but  only  the  word  which  I  speak  unto  thee, 

21  that  shalt  thou  do.  And  Ba'laam  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  saddled    his   ass,  and  went  with  the 

22  princes  of  Mo'ab.  And  God's  anger  was  kindled 
because  he  went :  and  the  angel  of  the  Lord  placed 
himself  in  the  way  for  an  adversary  against  him. 
Now  he  was  riding  upon  his  ass,  and  his  two  serv- 

23  ants  were  with  him.  And  the  ass  saw  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  standing  in  the  way,  with  his  sword 
drawn  in  his  hand :  and  the  ass  turned  aside  out  of 
the  way,  and  went  into  the  field :  and  Ba'laam  smote 

24  the  ass,  to  turn  her  into  the  way.  Then  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  stood  in  a  hollow  way  between  the 
vineyards,  a  fence  being  on  this  side,  and  a  fence 

25  on  that  side.  And  the  ass  saw  the  angel  of  the 
Lord,  and  she  thrust  herself  unto  the  wall,  and 
crushed    Ba'laam's  foot    against  the  wall:    and  he 

26  smote  her  again.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  went 
further,  and  stood  in  a  narrow  place,  where  was  no 
way  to  turn  either  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left. 

27  And  the  ass  saw  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  and  she  lay 
down    under   Ba'laam :    and    Ba'laam's  anger    was 

28  kindled,  and  he  smote  the  ass  with  his  staff.  And 
the  Lord  opened  the  mouth  of  the  ass,  and  she  said 
unto  Balaam,  What  have  I  done  unto  thee,  that  thou 

29  hast  smitten  me  these  three  times  ?  And  Ba'laam 
said  unto  the  ass.  Because  thou  hast  mocked  me :  I 
would  there  were  a  sword  in  mine  band,  for  now  I 

30  had  killed  thee.  And  the  ass  said  unto  Ba'laam,  Am 
not  I  thine  ass,  upon  which  thou  hast  ridden  all  thy 
life  long  unto  this  day?   was  I  ever  wont  to  do  so 

31  unto  thee  ?  And  he  said.  Nay.  Then  the  Lord 
opened  the  eyes  of  Ba'laam,  and  he  saw  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  standing  in  the  way,  with  his  sword 
drawn  in  his  hand  :  and  he  bowed  his  head,  and  fell 

32  on  his  face.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto 
him.  Wherefore  hast  thou  smitten  thine  ass  these 
three  times?  behold,  I  am  come  forth  for  an  adver- 

33  sary,  because  thy  way  is  'perverse  before  me  :  and 
the  ass  saw  me,  and  turned  aside  before  me  these 
three  times:  unless  she  had  turned  aside  from  me, 
surely   now  I    had  even  slain  thee,  and  saved  her 

34  alive.  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
I  have  sinned ;  for  I  knew  not  that  thou  stoodest  in 
the  way  against  me :  now  therefore,  if  it  displease 

35  thee,  I  will  get  me  back  again.  And  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  said  unto  Ba'laam,  Go  with  the  men  :  but 
only  the  word  that  I  shall  speak  unto  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  speak.     So  Ba'laam  went  with  the  princes  of 

36  Ba'lak.  And  when  Ba'lak  heard  that  Ba'laam  was 
come,  he  went  out  to  meet  him  unto  the  City  of 
Mo'ab,  which  is  on  the  border  of  Ar'non,  which  is  in 

37  the  utmost  part  of  the  border.  And  Ba'lak  said  unto 
Ba'laam,  Did  I  not  earnestly  send  unto  thee  to  call 
thee  ?    wherefore   camest  thou  not  unto  me  ?  am  I 

38 not  able  indeed  to  promote  thee  to  honour?  And 
Ba'laam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Lo,  I  am  come  unto  thee : 
have  I  now  any  power  at  all  to  speak  any  thing  ? 
the  word  that  God  putteth  in  my  mouth,  that  shall 

39 1  speak.     And  Ba'laam  went  with  Ba'lak,  and  they 

40  came  unto  Kir'i-ath-hu'zoth.  And  Ba'lak  sacrificed 
oxen  and  sheep,  and  sent  to  Ba'laam,   and  to    the 

41  princes  that  were  with  him.  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  the  morning,  that  Ba'lak  took  Ba'laam,  and  brought 
him  up   into  ^he   high  places  of  Ba'al,  and  he  saw 

(^f^  from  thence  the  utmost  part  of  the  people.     And 

^v  Ba'laam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Build  me  here  seven  altars, 

and  prepare  me  here  seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams.

2  And  Ba'lak  did  as  Ba'laam  had  spoken ;  and  Ba'lak  and 
Ba'laam  'offered  on  evet-y  altar  a  bullock  and  a  ram. 

3  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  ""Stand  by  thy  burnt  offer- 
ing, and  I  will  go ;  peradventure  the  Lord  will  come  ''to 
meet  me;  and  whatsoever  he  sheweth  me  I  will  tell  thee. 
And  II  he  went  to  a  high  place. 

4  "And  God  met  Ba'laam :  and  he  said  unto  him,  I  have 
prepared  seven  altars,  and  I  have  offered  upon  every  altar  a 
bullock  and  a  ram. 

5  And  the  Lord  •'^put  a  word  in  Ba'laam's  mouth,  and 
said.  Return  unto  Ba'lak,  and  thus  thou  shalt  speak. 

6  And  he  returned  unto  him,  and,  lo,  he  stood  by  his 
burnt  sacrifice,  he,  and  all  the  princes  of  Mo'ab. 

7  And  he  "took  up  his  parable,  and  said,  Ba'lak  the  king 
of  Mo'ab  hath  brought  me  from  A'ram,  out  of  the  mount- 
ains of  the  east,  saying,  ''Come,  curse  me  Ja'cob,  and  come, 
'defy  Is'ra-el. 

8  *How  shall  I  curse,  whom  God  hath  not  cursed?  or 
how  shall  I  defy,  whom  the  Lord  hath  not  defied? 

9  For  from  the  top  of  the  rocks  I  see  him,  and  from  the 
hills  I  behold  him :  lo,  'the  people  shall  dwell  alone,  and 

shall  not  be  reckoned  among  the  nations. 

10  "Who  can  count  the  dust  of  Ja'cob,  and  the  number  of 
the  fourth  part  of  Is'ra-el  ?  Let  fme  die  "the  death  of  th^ 
righteous,  and  let  my  last  end  be  like  his! 

11  And  Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'laam,  What  hast  thou  done 
unto  me?  "I  took  thee  to  curse  mine  enemies,  and,  behold, 
thou  hast  blessed  them  altogether. 

12  And  he  answered  and  said,  'Must  I  not  take  heed  to 
speak  that  which  the  Lord  hath  put  in  my  mouth  ? 

13  And  Ba'lak  said  unto  him.  Come,  I  pray  thee,  with 
me  unto  another  place,  from  whence  thou  mayest  see 
them :  thou  shalt  see  but  the  utmost  part  of  them, 
and  shalt  not  see  them  all :  and  curse  me  them  from 
thence. 

14  ^And  he  brought  him  into  the  field  of  Zo'phim,  to  the 
top  of  II  Pis'gah,  ''and  built  seven  altars,  and  offered  a  bullock 
and  a  ram  on  every  altar. 

15  And  he  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Stand  here  by  thy  burnt 
offering,  while  I  meet  the  Lord  yonder. 

16  And  the  Lord  met  Ba'laam,  and  'put  a  word  in  his 
mouth,  and  said,  Go  again  unto  Ba'lak,  and  say  thus. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  him,  behold,  he  stood  by  his 
burnt  offering,  and  the  princes  of  Mo'ab  with  him.  And 
Ba'lak  said  unto  him.  What  hath  the  Lord  spoken  ? 

18  And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said,  'E-ise  up,  Ba'lak, 
and  hear ;  hearken  unto  me,  thou  son  of  Zip'por : 

19  "God  is  not  a  man,  that  he  should  lie;  neither  the 
son  of  man  that  he  should  repent :  hath  he  said,  and  shall 
he  not  do  it?  or  hath  he  spoken,  and  shall  he  not  make 
it  good? 

20  Behold,  I  have  received  commandment  to  bless:  and 
""he  hath  blessed;  and  I  can  not  reverse  it. 

21  "He  hath  not  beheld  iniquity  in  Ja'cob,  neither  hath  he 
seen  perverseness  in  Is'ra-el :  'the  Lord  his  God  is  with  him, 
"and  the  shout  of  a  king  is  among  them. 

22  ""God  brought  them  out  of  E'gypt ;  he  hath  as  it  were 
"the  strength  of  a  unicorn. 

23  Surely  there  is  no  enchantment  ||  against  Ja'cob,  neither 
is  there  any  divination  against  Is'ra-el:  according  to  this 
time  it  shall  be  said  of  Ja'cob  and  of  Is'ra-el,  ''What  hath 
God  wrought! 

24  Behold,  the  people  shall  rise  up  'as  a  great  lion, 
and  lift  up  himself  as  a  young  lion:  •'^he  shall  not  lie 
down  until  he  eat  of  the  prey,  and  drink  the  blood  of 
the  slain. 


2  And  Ba'lak  did  as  Ba'laam  had  spoken  ;  and  Ba'lak  and 
Ba'laam  offered  on  every  altar  a  bullock  and  a  ram. 

3  And  Ba'laam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Stand  by  thy  burnt  of- 
fering, and  I  will  go ;  peradventure  the  Lord  will  come 
to  meet  me :  and  whatsoever  he  sheweth  me  I  will  tell 

4  thee.  And  he  went  to  a  bare  height.  And  God  met 
Ba'laam :  and  he  said  unto  him,  I  have  prepared  the 
seven  altars,  and  I  have  offered  up  a  bullock  and  a 

5  ram  on  every  altar.  And  the  Lord  piit  a  word  in  Ba'- 
laam's mouth,  and  said,  Return  unto  Ba'lak,  and  thus 

6  thou  shalt  speak.  And  he  returned  unto  him,  and,  lo, 
he  stood  by  his  burnt  offering,  he,  and  all  the  princes 

7  of  Mo'ab.     And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 

From  A'ram  hath  Ba'lak  brought  me. 

The  king  of  Mo'ab  from  the  mountains  of  the  East: 

Come,  curse  me  Jacob, 

And  come,  'defy  Is'ra-el. 

8  How  shall  I  curse,  whom  God  hath  not  cursed? 
And  how  shall  I  defy,  whom  the  Lord  hath  not  defied  ? 

9  For  from  the  tops  of  the  rocks  I  see  him. 
And  from  the  hills  I  behold  him : 
Lo,  it  is  a  people  that  dwell  alone. 
And  shall  not  be  reckoned  among  the  nations. 

10  Who  can  count  the  dust  of  Ja'cob, 
^Or  number  the  fourth  part  of  Is'ra-el? 
Let  ^me  die  the  death  of  the  righteous, 
And  let  my  last  end  be  like  his! 

11  And  Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'laam,  What  hast  thou  done 
unto  me?     I  took  thee  to  curse  mine  enemies,  and, 

12  behold,  thou  hast  blessed  them  altogether.  And 
he  answered  and  said.  Must  I  not  take  heed  to 
speak  that  which  the  Lord  putteth  in  my  mouth? 

13  And  Ba'lak  said  unto  him.  Come,  I  pray  thee,  with 
me  unto  another  place,  from  whence  thou  mayest 
see  them;  thou  shalt  see  but  the  utmost  part  of 
them,  and  shalt  not  see  them  all :    and   curse   me 

14  them  from  thence.  And  he  took  him  into  the  field 
of  Zo'phim,  to  the  top  of  Pis'gah,  and  built  seven 
altars,  and  offered  up  a  bullock  and  a  ram  on  every 

15  altar.     And  he  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Stand  here  by  thy 

16  burnt  offering,  while  I  meet  the  Lord  yonder.  And 
the  Lord  met  Ba'laam,  and  put  a  word  in  his  mouth, 
and  said.  Return  unto  Ba'lak,  and  thus  shalt  thou 

17  speak.     And  he  came  to  him,  and,  lo,  he  stood  by 
.  his  burnt  offering,  and  the  princes  of  Mo'ab  with  him. 

And   Ba'lak  said  unto  him.  What   hath  the  Lord 
18 spoken?     And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 
Rise  up,  Ba'lak,  and  hear; 
Hearken  unto  me,  thou  son  of  Zip'por : 

19  God  is  not  a  man,  that  he  should  lie; 
Neither  the  son  of  man,  that  he  should  repent : 
Hath  he  said,  and  shall  he  not  do  it? 

Or  hath  he  spoken,  and  shall  he  not  make  it  good  ? 

20  Behold,  I  have  received  a  commandment  to  bless : 
And  he  hath  blessed,  and  I  cannot  reverse  it. 

21  He  hath  not  beheld  iniquity  in  Ja'cob, 
Neither  hath  he  seen  perverseness  in  Is'ra-el : 
The  Lord  his  God  is  with  him, 

And  the  shout  of  a  king  is  among  them. 

22  God  bringeth  them  fortS  out  of  E'gypt ; 

He  hath  as  it  were  the  ^strength  of  the  'wild-ox. 

23  Surely  there  is  no  enchantment  ^with  Ja'cob, 
Neither  is  there  any  divination  Svith  Is'ra-el : 
'Now  shall  it  be  *said  of  Ja'cob  and  of  Is'ra-el, 
What  hath  God  wrought! 

24  Behold,  the  people  riseth  up  as  a  lioness 
And  as  a  lion  doth  he  lift  himself  up: 

He  shall  not  lie  down  until  he  eat  of  the  prey 
A^d  drink  the  blood  of  the  slain.

25  ^And  Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'iaam,  Neither  curse  them  at 
all,  nor  bless  them  at  all. 

26  But  Ba'iaam  answered  and  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Told  not  I 
thee,  saying,  "All  that  the  Loed  speaketh,  that  I  must  do? 

27  ^And  Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'iaam,  ''Come,  I  pray  thee,  I 
will  bring  thee  unto  another  place;  peradventure  it  will 
please  God  that  thou  mayest  curse  me  them  from  thence. 

28  And  Ba'lak  brought  Ba'iaam  unto  the  top  of  Pe'or,that 
looketh  'toward  Jesh'i-mon. 

29  And  Ba'iaam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  *Build  me  here  seven 
altars,  and  prepare  me  here  seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams. 

30  And  Ba'kk  did  as  Ba'iaam  had  said,  and  offered  a  bul- 
lock and  a  ram  on  ev^y  altar. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

Salaam  prophesitth  the  happiness  of  Israel. 

AND  when  Ba  laam  saw  that  it  pleased  the  Lord 
to  bless  Is'ra-el,  he  went  not,  as  at  "other  times,  fto 
seek  for  enchantments,  but  he  set  his  face  toward  the  wil- 
derness. 

2  And  Ba'iaam  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  he  saw  Is'ra-el  ''abid- 
ing in  his  tents  according  to  their  tribes ;  and  "the  Spirit  of 
God  came  upon  him. 

3  "*And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said,  Ba'iaam  the 
son  of  Be'or  hath  said,  and  the  man  fwhose  eyes  are  open 
hath  said  : 

4  He  hath  said,  which  heard  the  words  of  God,  which  saw 
the  vision  of  the  Almighty,  'falling  into  a  trance,  but  having 
his  eyes  open : 

5  How  goodly  are  thy  tents,  O  Ja'cob,  and  thy  taberna- 
cles^ O  Is'ra-el ! 

6  As  the  valleys  are  they  spread  forth,  as  gardens  by  the 
river's  side,  •'as  the  trees  of  lignaloes  "which  the  Lord 
hath  planted,  and  as  cedar  trees  beside  the  waters. 

7  He  shall  pour  the  water  out  of  his  buckets,  and  his  seed 
shall  be  Hn  many  waters,  and  his  king  shall  be  higher  than 
'A'gag,  and  his  ^kingdom  shall  be  exalted. 

8  'God  brought  him  forth  out  of  E'gypt;  he  hath  as  it 
were  the  strength  of  a  unicorn :  he  shall  ""eat  up  the  na- 
tions his  enemies,  and  shall  "break  their  bones,  and  "pierce 
them  through  with  his  arrows. 

9  "He  couched,  he  lay  down  as  a  lion,  and  as  a  great  lion  : 
who  shall  stir  him  up?  'Blessed  is  he  that  blesseth  thee, 
and  cursed  ts  he  that  curseth  thee. 

10  ^And  Ba'lak's  anger  was  kindled  against  Ba'iaam,  and 
he  ""smote  hi»  hands  together  :  and  Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'iaam, 
'I  called  thee  to  curse  mine  enemies,  and,  behold,  thou  hast 
altogether  blessed  them  these  three  times. 

11  Therefore  now  flee  thou  to  thy  place  :  'I  thought  to 
promote  thee  unto  great  honour;  but,  lo,  the  Lord  hath 
kept  thee  back  from  honour. 

12  And  Ba'iaam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Spake  I  not  also  to  thy 
messengers  which  thou  sentest  unto  me,  saying, 

13  "If  Ba'lak  would  give  me  his  house  full  of  silver  and 
gold,  I  can  not  go  beyond  the  commandment  of  the  Lord, 
to  do  either  good  or  bad  of  mine  own  mind ;  but  what  the 
Lord  saith,  that  will  I  speak? 

14  And  now,  behold,  I  go  unto  my  people  :  come  there- 
fore, and  ""I  will  advertise  thee  what  this  people  shall  do  to 
thy  people  "in  the  latter  days. 

15  ^'And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said,  Ba'iaam  the 
son  of  Be'or  hath  said,  and  the  man  whose  eyes  are  open 
hath  said : 

16  He  hath  said,  which  heard  the  words  of  God,  and 
knew  the  knowledge  of  the  Most  High,  which  saw  the 
vision  of  the  Almighty,  falling  into  a  trance,  but  having 
his  eyes  open : 

17  "I  shall,  see  him,  but  not  now:  I  shall  behold  him, 
but  not   nigh  :    there   shall    come  'a  Star  out  of  Ja'cob, 


25  And  Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'iaam,  Neither  curse  them 

26  at  all,  nor  bless  them  at  all.  But  Ba'iaam  answered 
and  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Told  not  I  thee,  saying.  All 

27 that  the  Lord  speaketh,  that  I  must  do?  And 
Ba'lak  said  unto  Ba'iaam,  Come  now,  I  will  take 
thee  unto  another  place :  peradventure  it  will 
please  God  that  thou   mayest  curse  me  them  from 

28  thence.     And   Ba'lak  took  Ba'iaam  unto  the  top  of 

29  Pe'or,  that  looketh  down  upon  'the  desert.  And 
Ba'iaam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Build  me  here  seven 
altars,  and   prepare    me    here  seven    bullocks    and 

30  seven  rams.  And  Ba'lak  did  as  Ba'iaam  had  said, 
^  i  and  offered  up  a  bullock  and  a  ram  on  every  altar. 
^^     And  when  Ba'iaam  saw  that  it  pleased  the  Lord 

to  bless  Is'ra-el,  he  went  not,  as  at  the  other  times, 
to  meet  with  enchantments,  but  he  set  his  face  toward 

2  the  wilderness.     And  Ba'iaam  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
he  saw  Is'ra-el  dwelling  according  to  their  tribes ; 

3  and  the  spirit  of  God  came   upon    him.     And  hei 
took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 

Ba'iaam  the  son  of  Be'or  saith. 

And  the  man  whose  eye  ^was  closed  saith : 

4  He  saith,  which  heareth  the  words  of  God, 
Which  seeththe  vision  of  the  Almighty, 
Falling  down,  and  having  his  eyes  open : 

5  How  goodly  are  thy  tents,  O  Ja'cob, 
Thy  tabernacles,  O  Is'ra-el! 

6  As  valleys  are  they  spread  forth, 
As  gardens  by  the  river  side. 

As  lign-aloes  which  the  Lord  hath  planted, 
As  cedar  trees  beside  the  waters. 

7  Wat«r  shall  flow  from  his  buckets. 
And  his  seed  shall  be  in  many  waters. 
And  his  king  shall  be  higher  than  A'gag, 
And  his  kingdom  shall  be  exalted. 

8  God  bringeth  him  forth  out  of  E'gypt; 

He  hath  as  it  were  the  'strength  of  the  'wild-ox  : 
He  shall  eat  up  the  nations  his  adversaries. 
And  shall  break  their  bones  in  pieces, 
And  smite  them  through  with  his  arrows. 

9  He  couched,  he  lay  down  as  a  lion. 

And  as  a  lioness ;  who  shall  rouse  him  up  ? 
Blessed  be  every  one  that  blesseth  thee. 
And  cursed  be  every  one  that  curseth  thee. 

10  And  Ba'lak's  anger  was  kindled  against  Ba'iaam, 
and  he  smote  his  hands  together:  and  Ba'lak  said 
unto  Ba'iaam,  I  called  thee  to  curse  mine  enemies, 
and,   behold,    thou,  hast    altogether   blessed    them 

11  these  three  times.  Therefore  now  flee  thou  to  thy 
place:  I  thought  to  promote  thee  unto  great  honour; 
but,  lo,  the  Lord  hath  kept  thee  back  from  honour. 

12  And  Ba'iaam  said  unto  Ba'lak,  Spake  I  not  also  to 
thy  messengers  which  thou  sentest  unto  me,  saying, 

13  If  Ba'lak  would  give  me  his  house  full  of  silver  and 
gold,  I  cannot  go  beyond  the  word  of  the  Lord,  to 
do  either  good  or  bad  of  mine  own  mind ;  what  the 

14 Lord  speaketh,  that  will  I  speak  ?  And  now,  behold, 
I  go  unto  my  people:  come,  and  I  will  advertise  thee 
what  this  people  shall  do  to  thy  people  in  the  latter 

15  days.     And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 

Ba'iaam  the  son  of  Be'or  saith. 

And  the  man  whose  eye  ^was  closed  saith  : 

16  He  saith,  which  heareth  the  words  of  God, 

And  knoweth  the  knowledge  of  the  Most  High, 
Which  seeth  the  vision  of  the  Almighty, 
Falling  down,  and  having  his  eyes  open  : 

17  I  see  him,  but  not  now : 

I  behold  him,  but  not  nigh: 

There  shall  come  forth  a  star  out  of  Ja'cob^

parable,  and  said,  Am'a-lek  was  ||  the  first  of  the  nations ;  but 
his  latter  end  ||  shall  be  that  he  perish  for  ever. 

21  And  be  looked  on  the  Ken'ites,  and  took  up  his 
parable,  and  said.  Strong  is  thy  dwellingplace,  and  thou 
puttest  thy  nest  in  a  rock. 

22  Nevertheless  fthe  Ken'ite  shall  be  wasted,  |1  until 
As'shur  shall  carry  thee  away  captive. 

23  And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said,  Alas,  who  shall 
live  when  God  doeth  this ! 

24  And  ships  shall  come  from  the  coast  of  -^Chit'tim,  and 
shall  afflict  As'shur,  and  shall  afflict  "E'ber,  and  he  also  shall 
perish  for  ever.

place  :  and  Ba'lak  also  went  his  way. 

CHAPTER  XXV. 

Phinehas  killeth  Zimri  and  Cozbi. 

AND  Is'ra-el  abode  in  "Shit'tim,  and  Hhe  people  began 
to  commit  whoredom  with  the  daughters  of  Mo'ab. 

2  And  ''they  called  the  people  unto  ''the  sacrifices  of  their 
gods :  and  the  people  did  eat,  and  'bowed  down  to  their  gods. 

3  And  Is'ra-el  joined  himself  unto  Ba'al-pe'or :  and  -^the 
anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Is'ra-el. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  "Take  all  the  heads  of 
the  people,  and  hang  them  up  before  the  Lord  against  the 
sun,  ''that  the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  may  be  turned  away 
from  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  *the  judges  of  Is'ra-el,  *Slay  ye 
every  one  his  men  that  were  joined  uuto  Ba'al-pe'or. 

6  T[And,  behold,  one  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  and 
brought  unto  his  brethren  a  Mid'i-an-i-tish  woman  in  the 
sight  of  Mo'ses,  and  in  the  sight  of  all  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  'who  were  weeping  before  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

7  And  '"when  Phin'e-has,  "the  son  of  E-le-a'zar,  the  son  of 
Aa'ron  the  priest,  saw  it,  he  rose  up  from  among  the  con- 
gregation, and  took  a  javelin  in  his  hand  ; 

8  And  he  went  after  the  man  of  Is'ra-el  into  the  tent,  and 
thrust  both  of  them  through,  the  man  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the 
woman  through  her  belly.  So  "the  plague  was  stayed  from 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

9  And  Pthose  that  died  in  the  plague  were  twenty  and 
four  thousand. 

10  XAnd  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,, 

11  »Phin'e-has,  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar,  the  son  of  Aa'ron  the 
priest,  hath  turned  my  wrath  away  from  the  children  of 
Is'ra^el,  while  he  was  zealous  ffor  my  sake  among  them, 
that  I  consumed  not  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in  'my  jealousy. 

12  Wherefore  say,  "Behold,  I  give  unto  him  my  covenant 
of  peace : 

13  And  he  shall  have  it,  and  'his  seed  after  him,  even  the 
covenant  of  "an  everlasting  priesthood ;  because  be  was 
"'zealous  for  his  God,  and  "made  an  atonement  for  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el. 

14  Now  the  name  of  the  Is'ra-el-ite  that  was  slain,  even 
that  was  slain  with  the  Mid'i-an-i-tish  woman,  was  Zim'ri, 
the  son  of  Sa'lu,  a  prince  of  a  fehief  house  among  the  Sim'- 
e-on-ites. 

15  And  the  name  of  the  Mid'i-an-i-tish  woman  that  was  slain 
was  Coz'bi,  the  daughter  of  'Zur ;  he  was  head  over  a  people, 
and  of  a  chief  house  in  Mid'i-an. 


And  a  sceptre  shall  rise  out  of  Is'ra-el. 

And  shall  smite  through  the  corners  of  Mo'ab, 

And  break  down  all  the  sons  'of  tumult. 

18  And  E'dom  shall  be  a  possession, 
Se'ir  also  shall  be  a  possession,  which  were  his  enemies ; 
While  Is'ra-el  doeth  valiantly. 

19  And  out  of  Ja'cob  shall  one  have  dominion. 
And  shall  destroy  the  remnant  from  the  city. 

20  And  he  looked  on  Am'a-lek, and  took  up  his  parable, 
and  said, 

Am'a-lek  was  the  first  of  the  nations; 

But  his  latter  end  shall  come  to  destruction. 

21  And  he  looked  on  the  Ken'ite,  and  took  up  his 
parable,  and  said. 

Strong  is  thy  dwelling  place, 
And  thy  nest  is  set  in  the  rock. 

22  Nevertheless  ^Ka'in  shall  be  wasted, 
^Until  As'shur  shall  carry  thee  away  captive. 

23  And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 

Alas,  who  shall  live  when  God  *doeth  this? 

24  But  ships  shall  come  from  the  coast  of  Kit'tim, 
And  they  shall  afflict  As'shur,  and  shall  afflict  E'ber, 
And  he  also  shall  come  to  destruction. 

25  And  Ba'laam  rose  up,  and  went  and  returned  to  his 
place :  and  Ba'lak  also  went  his  way. 

^O     And   Is'ra-el  abode  in  Shit'tim,  and  the  people 
began  to  commit  whoredom  with  the  daughters  of 
2  Mo'ab :  for  they  called  the  people  unto  the  sacri- 
fices  of  their  gods;    and   the    people  did  eat,  and 
Showed  down  to  their  gods.     And  Is'ra-el  ^joined 
himself  unto  ''Ba'al-pe'or :  and  the  anger  of  the  Lord 

4  was  kindled  against  Is'ra-el.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Mo'ses,  Take  all  the  chiefs  of  the  people,  and 
hang  them  up  unto  the  Lord  before  the  sun,  that 
the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  may  turn   away  from 

5  Is'ra-el.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  judges  of  Is'ra-el, 
Slay  ye  every  one  his  men  that  have  joined  them- 

6  selves  unto  Ba'al-pe'or.  And,  behold,  one  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  came  and  brought  unto  his 
brethren  a  Mid'i-an-i-tish  woman  in  the  sight  of 
Mo'ses,  and  in  the  sight  of  all  the  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  while  they  were  weeping  at 

7  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting.  And  when  Phin'e- 
has,  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar,  the  son  of  Aa'ron  the  priest, 
saw  it,  he  rose  up  from  the  midst  of  the  congrega- 

8  tion,  and  took  a  spear  in  his  hand ;  and  he  went 
after  the  man  of  Is'ra-el  into  the  'pavilion,  and  thrust 
both  of  them  through,  the  man  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the 
woman  through  her  belly.    So  the  plague  was  stayed 

9  from  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  those  that  died  by 
the  plague  were  twenty  and  four  thou.sand. 

10  And    the    Lord    spake    unto     Mo'.ses,     saying, 

11  Phin'e-has,  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar,  the  son  of  Aa'ron  the 
priest,  hath  turned  my  wrath  away  from  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  in  that  he  was  jealous  with  my  jeal- 
ousy   among    them,  so    that    I    consumed    not   the 

12  children  of  Is'ra-el  in  my  jealousy.  Wherefore  say. 
Behold,  I  give  unto   him   my  covenant   of   peace; 

13  and  it  shall  be  unto  him,  and  to  his  seed  after  him, 
the  covenant  of  an  everlasting  priesthood ;  because 
he  was  jealous   for  his  God,  and    made  atonement 

14  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  Now  the  name  of  the 
man  of  Is'ra-el  that  was  slain,  who  was  slain  with  the 
Mid'i-an-i-tish  woman,  was  Zim'ri,  the  son  of  Sa'lu,  a 
prince  of  a  fathers'  house  among  the  Sim'e-on-ites. 

15  And  the  name  of  the  Mid'i-an-i-tish  woman  that  was 
slain  was  Coz'bi,  tlie  daughter  of  Zur;  he  was  head 
of  the  people  of  a  fathers'  house  in  Mid'i-an.

CHAPTER  XXVII. 

The  law  of  inheritance— Moses,  being  told  o/ his  death,  sueih  for  a  successor. 

THEN  came  the  daughters  of  "Ze-lo'phe-had,  the  son  of 
He'pher,  the  son  of  Gil'e-ad,  the  son  of  Ma'chir,  the  son 
of  Ma-nas'seh,  of  the  families  of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  Jo'- 
seph  :  and  these  are  the  names  of  his  daughters ;  Mah'lah, 
No'ah,  and  Hog'lah,  and  Mil'cah,  and  Tir'zah. 

2  And  they  stood  before  Mo'ses,  and  before  E-le-a'zar  the 
priest,  and  before  the  princes  and  all  the  congregation,  by 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  saying, 

3  Our  father  ''died  in  the  wilderness,  and  he  was  not  in  the 
company  of  them  that  gathered  themselves  together  against 
the  Lord  "in  the  company  of  Ko'rah ;  but  died  in  his  own 
sin,  and  had  no  sons. 

4  Why  should  the  name  of  our  father  be  fdone  away  from 
among  his  family,  because  he  hath  no  son  ?  ''Give  unto  us 
therefore  a  possession  among  the  brethren  of  our  father. 

5  And  Mo'ses  'brought  their  cause  before  the  Lord. 

6  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

7  The  daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe-had  speak  right :  /thou  shalt 
surely  give  them  a  possession  of  an  inheritance  among  their 
father's  brethren;  and  thou  shalt  cause  the  inheritance  of 
their  father  to  pass  unto  them. 

8  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  children  of -Is'ra-el,  saying, 
If  a  man  die,  and  have  no  son,  then  ye  shall  cause  his  in- 
heritance to  pass  unto  his  daughter. 

9  And  if  he  have  no  daughter,  then  ye  shall  give  his  in- 
heritance unto  his  brethren. 

10  And  if  he  have  no  brethren,  then  ye  shall  give  his  in- 
heritance unto  his  father's  brethren. 


53  Unto  these  the  land  shall  be  divided  for  an  inher- 

54  itance  according  to  the  number  of  names.  To  the 
more  thou  shalt  give  the  more  inheritance,  and  to 
the  fewer  thou  shalt  give  the  less  inheritance:  to 
every  one  according  to  those  that  were   numbered 

55  of  him  shall  his  inheritance  be  given.  Notwith- 
standing the  land  shall  be  divided  by  lot :  according 
to  the  names  of  the  tribes  of  their  fathers  they  shall 

56  inherit.  According  to  the  lot  shall  their  inheritance 
be  divided  between  the  more  and  the  fewer. 

57  And  these  are  they  that  were  numbered  of  the 
Le'vites  after  their  families :  of  Ger'shon,  the  family 
of  the  Ger'shon-ites :  of  Ko'hath,  the  family  of  the 
Ko'hath-ites:  of  Mer'a-ri,  the  family  of  the  Mer'a-rites. 

58  These  are  the  families  of  Le'vi :  the  family  of  the

of  the  Mah'lites,  the  family  of  the  Mu'shites,  the 
family  of  the  Ko'rah-ites.  And  Ko'hath  begat  Am'- 

59  ram.  And  the  name  of  Am'ram 's  wife  was  Jo'che-bed, 
the  daughter  of  Le'vi,  who  was  born  to  Le'vi  in 
E'gypt:    and    she  bare  unto  Am'ram   Aa'ron   and 

60  Mo'ses,  and  Mir'i-am  their  sister.  And  unto  Aa'ron 
were  born  Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu,  E-le-a'zar  and  Ith'a- 

61  mar.  And  Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu  died,  when  they  offered 

62  strange  fire  before  the  Lord.  And  they  that  were 
numbered  of  them  were  twenty  and  three  thousand, 
every  male  from  a  month  old  and  upward :  for  they 
were  not  numbered  among  the  children  of  Is'rael, 
because  there  was  no  inheritance  given  them  among 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

63  These  are  they  that  were  numbered  by  Mo'ses  and 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest ;  who  numbered  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  in  the  plains  of  Mo'ab  by  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i- 

64cho.  But  among  these  there  was  not  a  man  of  them 
that  were  numbered  by  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron  the  priest ; 
who  numbered  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in  the  wilder- 

65ness  of  Si'nai.  For  the  Lord  had  said  of  them. 
They  shall  surely  die  in  the  wilderness.  And  there

E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  before  the  princes  and  all  the 
congregation,  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  say- 

3  ing,  Our  father  died  in  the  wilderness,  and  he  was 
not  among  the  company  of  them  that  gathered  them- 
selves together  against  the  Lord  in  the  company  of 
Ko'rah  :  but  he  died  in  his  own  sin ;  and  he  had  no 

4  sons.  Why  should  the  name  of  our  father  be  taken 
away  from  among  his  family,  because  he  had  no  son  ? 
Give  unto  us  a   possession  among  the  brethren  of 

5  our  father.     And  Mo'ses  brought  their  cause  before 

6  the  Lord.      And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  say- 

7  ing,  The  daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe-had  speak  right:  thou 
shalt  surely  give  them  a  possession  of  an  inheritance 
among  their  father's  brethren ;  and  thou  shalt  cause 

8  the  inheritance  of  their  father  to  pass  unto  them.  And 
thou  shalt  speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying, 
If  a  man  die,  and  have  no  son,  then  ye  shall  cause  his 

9  inheritance  to  pass  unto  his  daughter.  And  if  he  have 
no  daughter,  then  ye  shall  give  his  inheritance  unto 

10  his  brethren.  And  if  he  have  no  brethren,  then  ye 
shall  give  hia  inheritance  unto  his  father's  brethren.]

11  And  if  his  father  have  no  brethren,  tHen  ye  shall  give 
his  inheritance  unto  his  kinsman  that  is  next  to  him  of  his 
family,  and  he  shall  possess  it :  and  it  shall  be  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  "a  statute  of  judgment,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'ses. 

12  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses  ''Get  thee  up  into 
this  mount  Ab'a-rim,  and  see  the  land  which  I  have  given 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

13  And  when  thou  hast  seen  it,  thou  also  *shalt  be  gath- 
ered unto  thy  people,  as  Aa'ron  thy  brother  was  gathered. 

14  For  ye  'rebelled  against  my  commandment  in  the 
desert  of  Zin,  in  the  strife  of  the  congregation,  to  sanctify 
me  at  the  water  before  their  eyes  :  that  is  the  'water  of 
Mer'i-bah  in  Ka'desh  in  the  wilderness  of  Zin. 

15  ^And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  Lokd,  saying, 

16  Let  the  Lord,  "the  God  of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh,  set 
a  man  over  the  congregation, 

17  "Which  may  go  out  before  them,  and  which  may  go 
in  before  them,  and  which  may  lead  them  out,  and  which 
may  bring  them  in ;  that  the  congregation  of  the  Lord  be 
not  °as  sheep  which  have  no  shepherd. 

18  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Take  thee  Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  Nun,  a  man  "in  whom  is  the  spirit,  and  'lay  thine 
hand  upon  him ; 

19  And  set  him  before  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  before  all 
the  congregation :  and  'give  him  a  charge  in  their  sight. 

20  And  'thou  shalt  put  some  of  thine  honour  upon  him,  that 
all  the  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  'maybe  obedient. 

21  "And  he  shall  stand  before  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  who 
shall  ask  counselor  him  ""after  the  judgment  of  IT' rim  before 
the  Lord  :  "at  his  word  shall  they  go  out,  and  at  his  word 
they  shall  come  in,  both  he,  and  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  even  all  the  congregation. 

22  And  Mo'ses  did  as  the  Lord  commanded  him :  and  he 
took  Josh'u-a,  and  set  him  before  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and 
before  all  the  congregation  : 

23  And  he  laid  his  hands  upon  him,  'and  gave  him  a 
charge,  as  the  Lord  commanded  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

CHAPTER  XXVIII. 

Oj^erings  are  to  be  observed, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  Command  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them. 
My  offering,  and  "my  bread  for  my  sacrifices  made  by  fire, 
/or  fa  sweet  savour  unto  me,  shall  ye  observe  to  offer  unto 
me  in  their  due  season. 

3  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  ''This  is  the  offering 
made  by  fire  which  ye  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  ;  two 
lambs  of  the  first  year  without  spot  fi^y  by  day, /or  a 
continual  burnt  offering. 

4  The  one  lamb  shalt  thou  offer  in  the  morning,  and  the 
other  lamb  shalt  thou  offer  fat  even : 

5  And  "a  tenth  'part  of  an  ephah  of  flour  for  a  ''meat  of- 
fering, mingled  with  the  fourth  part  of  a  *hin  of  beaten  oil. 

6  It  is  ^a  continual  burnt  offering,  which  was  ordained  in 
mount  Si'nai  for  a  sweet  savour,  a  sacrifice  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord. 

7  And  the  drink  offering  thereof  sAaZ^  be  the  fourth  part  of  a 
hin  for  the  one  lamb  :  "in  the  holy  place  shalt  thou  cause  the 
strong  wine  to  be  poured  unto  the  Lord /or  a  drink  offering : 

8  And  the  other  lamb  shalt  thou  offer  at  even  :  as  the 
meat  offering  of  the  morning,  and  as  the  drink  offering 
thereof,  thou  shalt  offer  it,  a  sacrifice  made  by  fire,  of  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

9  T[And  on  the  sabbath  day  two  lambs  of  the  first  year 
without  spot,  and  two  tenth  deals  of  flour /or  a  meat  offer- 
ing, mingled  with  oil,  and  the  drink  offering  thereof: 

10  This  is  ''the  burnt  offering  of  every  sabbath,  besides  the 
continual  burnt  offering,  and  his  drink  offering. 

11  *iyAnd    'in  the   beginnings  of  your   months   ye   shall 


11  And  if  his  father  have  no  brethren,  then  ye  shall 
give  his  inheritance  unto  his  kinsman  that  is  next 
to  him  of  his  family,  and  he  shall  possess  it ;  and  it 
shall  be  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  a  statute  of 
judgement,  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

12  And  the  LcTJ)  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Get  thee  up  into 
this  mountain  of  Ab'a-rim,  and  behold  the  land  which 

13 1  have  given  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  when 
thou  hast  seen  it,  thou  also  shalt  be  gathered  unto 

14  thy  people,  as  Aa'ron  thy  brother  was  gathered :  be- 
cause ye  rebelled  against  my  word  in  the  wilderness 
of  Zin,  in  the  strife  of  the  congregation,  'to  sanctify 
me  at  the  waters  before  their  eyes.  (These  are  the 
waters  of  Mer'i-bah  of  Ka'desh  in  the  wilderness  of 

15  Zin.)     And  Mo'ses  spake  unto   the  Lord,  saying, 

16  Let  the  Lord,  the  God  of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh, 

17  appoint  a  man  over  the  congregation,  which  may 
go  out  before  them,  and  which  may  come  in  before 
them,  and  which  may  lead  them  out,  and  which 
may  bring  them  in ;  that  the  congregation  of  the 
Lord    be    not  as   sheep   which   have  no  shepherd. 

18  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Take  thee  Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  Nun,  a  man  in  whom  is  the  spirit,  and 

19  lay  thine  hand  upon  him ;  and  set  him  before  E-le- 
a'zar  the  priest,  and  before  all  the  congregation ;  and 

20  give  him  a  charge  in  their  sight.  And  thou  shalt 
put  of  thine  honour  upon  him,  that  all  the  congre- 

21  gation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  may  obey.  And  he 
shall  stand  before  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  who  shall  in- 
quire for  him  by  the  judgement  of  the  U'rim  before 
the  Lord  :  at  his  word  shall  they  go  out,  and  at  his 
word  they  shall  come  in,  both  he,  and  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  with  him,  even  all  the  congregation. 

22  And  Mo'ses  did  as  the  Lord  commanded  him :  and 
he  took  Josh'u-a,  and  set  him  before  E-le-a'zar  the 

23  priest,  and  before  all  the  congregation  :  and  he  laid 
his  hands  upon  him,  and  gave  him  a  charge,  as  the 
Lord  spake  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

^O     And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Command  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  My  oblation,  my  ^food  for  my  offerings 
made  by  fire,  of  a   sweet  savour  unto  me,  shall  ye 

3  observe  to  offer  unto  me  in  their  due  season.  'And 
thou  shalt  say  unto  them.  This  is  the  offering  made 
by  fire  which  ye  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord;  he- 
lambs  of  the  first  year  without  blemish,  two  day  by 

4  day,  for  a  continual  burnt  offering.  The  one  lamb 
shalt  thou  offer  in  the  morning,  and  the  other  lamb 

5  shalt  thou  offer  %t  even ;  and  the  tenth  part  of  an 
ephah  of  fine  flour  for  a  meal  offering,  mingled  with 

6  the  fourth  part  of  an  hin  of  beaten  oil.  It  is  a  con- 
tinual burnt  offering,  which  was  ordained  in  mount 
Si'nai  for  a  sweet  savour,  an   offering  made  by  fire 

7  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  drink  offering  thereof 
shall  be  the  fourth  part  of  an  hin  for  the  one  lamb  : 
in  the  holy  place  shalt  thou  pour  out  a  drink  offer- 

8  ing  of  strong  drink  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  other 
lamb  shalt  thou  offer  at  even  :  as  the  meal  offering 
of  the  morning,  and  as  the  drink  offering  thereofj 
thou  shalt  offer  it,  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  on  the  sabbath  day  two  he-lambs  of  the  first 
year  without  blemish,  and  two  tenth  parts  of  an  ephah 
of  fine  flour  for  a  meal  offering,  mingled  with  oil,  and 

10 the  drink  offering  thereof:  this  is  the  burnt  offering 
of  every  sabbath,  beside  the  continual  burnt  offering, 
and  the  drink  offering  thereof.

40  And  Mo'ses  told  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  according  to  all 
that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

CHAPTER  XXX. 

yours  are  not  to  be  broken. 

AND  Mo'ses  spake  unto  "the  heads  of  the  tribes  con- 
cerning the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  This  is  the  thing 
which  the  Lord  hath  commanded. 

2  'If  a  man  vow  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  or  "swear  an  oath 
to  bind  his  soul  with  a  bond ;  he  shall  not  fbreak  his  word, 
he  shall  ''do  according  to  all  that  proceedeth  out  of  his 
mouth. 

3  If  a  woman  also  vow  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  bind 
herself  by  a  bond,  being  in  her  father's  house  in  her  youth ; 

4  And  her  father  hear  her  vow,  and  her  bond  wherewith 
she  hath  bound  her  soul,  and  her  father  shall  hold  his 
peace  at  her ;  then  all  her  vows  shall  stand,  and  every  bond 
wherewith  she  hath  bound  her  soul  shall  stand. 

5  But  if  her  father  disallow  her  in  the  day  that  he  heareth, 
not  any  of  her  vows,  or  of  her  bonds  wherewith  she  hath 
bound  her  soul,  shall  stand ;  and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her, 
because  her  fether  disallowed  her. 

6  And  if  she  had  at  all  a  husband,  when  fshe  vowed, 
or  uttered  aught  out  of  her  lips,  wherewith  she  bound 
her  soul ; 

7  And  her  husband  heard  it,  and  held  his  peace  at  her  in 
the  day  that  he  heard  it :  then  her  vows  shall  stand,  and 
her  bonds  wherewith  she  bound  her  soul  shall  stand. 

8  But  if  her  husband  'disallowed  her  on  the  day  that  he 
heard  it,  then  he  shall  make  her  vow  which  she  vowed,  and 
that  which  she  uttered  with  her  lips,  wherewith  she  bound 
her  soul,  of  none  effect ;  and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her. 

9  But  every  vow  of  a  widow,  and  of  her  that  is 
divorced,  wherewith  they  have  bound  their  souls,  shall 
stand  against  her. 

10  And  if  she  vowed  in  her  husband's  house,  or  bound 
her  soul  by  a  bond  with  an  oath ; 

11  And  her  husband  heard  it,  and  held  his  peace  at  her, 
and  disallowed  her  not :  then  all  her  vows  shall  stand,  and 
every  bond  wherewith  she  bound  her  soul  shall  stand. 

12  But  if  her  husband  hath  utterly  made  them  void  on 
the  day  he  heard  them;  then  whatsoever  proceeded  out  of 
her  lips  concerning  her  vows,  or  concerning  the  bond  of  her 
soul,  shall  not  stand :  her  husband  hath  made  them  void ; 
and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her. 


31  and  one  he-goat  for  a  sin  offering ;  beside  the  con- 
tinual burnt  offering,  the  meal  offering  thereof,  and 
the  drink  offerings  thereof. 

32  And  on  the  seventh  day  seven  bullocks,  two  rams, 
fourteen  he-lambs  of  the  first  year  without  blemish : 

33  and  their  meal  offering  and  their  drink  offerings  for 
the  bullocks,  for  the  rams,  and  for  the  lambs,  according 

34  to  their  number,  after  the  ordinance :  and  one  he-goat 
for  a  sin  offering ;  beside  the  continual  burnt  offering, 
the  meal  offering  thereof,and  the  drink  offering  thereof 

35  On  the  eighth  day  ye  shall  have  a  'solemn  assem- 

36  bly :  ye  shall  do  no  servile  work  :  but  ye  shall  offer 
a  burnt  offering,  an  offering  made  by  fire,  of  a 
sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord  :  one  bullock,  one  ram, 
seven  he-lambs  of  the  first  year  without  blemish 

37  their  meal  offering  and  their  drink  offerings  for 
the  bullock,  for  the  ram,  and  for  the  lambs,  shall  be 
according   to    their   number,  after   the   ordinance 

38 and  one  he-goat  for  a  sin  offering;  beside  the  con 
tinual  burnt  offering,  and  the  meal  offering  thereof, 
and  the  drink  offering  thereof. 

39  These  ye  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  in  your  set 
feasts,  beside  your  vows,  and  your  freewill  offerings, 
for  your  burnt  offerings,  and  for  your  meal  offerings, 
and  for  your  drink  offerings,  and  for  your  peace 

40  offerings.  And  Mo'ses  told  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
according  to  all  that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

*5v  And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  heads  of  the  tribes  of 
the  children   of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  This  is  the  thing 

2  which  the  Lord  hath  commanded.  When  a  man 
voweth  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  or  sweareth  an  oath 
to  bind  his  soul  with  a  bond,  he  shall  not  ^break 
his  word ;    he  shall  do  according  to  all  that  pro- 

3ceedeth  out  of  his  mouth.  Also  when  a  woman 
voweth  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  bindeth  herself 
by  a  bond,  being  in  her  fathei-'s  house,  in  her  youth ; 

4  and  her  father  heareth  her  vow,  and  her  bond 
wherewith  she  hath  bound  her  soul,  and  her  father 
holdeth  his  peace  at  her:  then  all  her  vows  shall 
stand,  and  every  bond  wherewith  she  hath  bound 

5  her  soul  shall  stand.  But  if  her  father  disallow  her 
in  the  day  that  he  heareth ;  none  of  her  vows,  or  of 
her  bonds  wherewith  she  hath  bound  her  soul,  shall 
stand :  and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her,  because  her 

6  father  disallowed  her.  And  if  she  be  married  to  a 
husband,  while  her  vows  are  upon  her,  or  the  rash 
utterance  of  her  lips,  wherewith  she  hath  bound  her 

7  soul ;  and  her  husband  hear  it,  and  hold  his  peace 
at  her  in  the  day  that  he  heareth  it :  then  her  vows 
shall    stand,  and    her    bonds    wherewith    she    hath 

8  bound  her  soul  shall  stand.  But  if  her  husband 
disallow  her  in  the  day  that  he  heareth  it;  then  he 
shall  make  void  her  vow  which  is  upon  her,  and 
the  rash  utterance  of  her  lips,  wherewith  she  hath 
bound  her  soul :   and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her. 

9  But  the  vow  of  a  widow,  or  of  her  that  is  divorced, 
even  every   thing  wherewith   she    hath    bound    her 

10  soul,  shall  stand  against  her.  And  if  she  vowed  in 
her  husband's  houfse,  or  bound  her  soul  by  a  bond 

11  with  an  oath,  and  her  husband  heard  it,  and  held 
his  peace  at  her,  and  di.sal lowed  her  not;  then  all 
her  vows  shall  stand,  and  every  bond  wherewith 

12  she  bound  her  soul  -shall  stand.  But  if  her  hus- 
band made  them  null  and  void  in  the  day  that 
he  heard  them;  then  whatsoever  proceedeth  out  of 
her  lips  concerning  her  vows,  or  concerning  the 
bond  of  her  soul,  shall  not  stand :  her  husband  hath 
made  them  void ;  and  the  Lord  shall  forgive  her.

13  Every  vow,  and  every  binding  oath  to  afflict  the  soul,  her 
husband  may  establish  it,  or  her  husband  may  make  it  void. 

14  But  if  her  husband  altogether  hold  his  peace  at  her 
from  day  to  day;  then  he  establisheth  all  her  vows,  or 
all  her  bonds,  which  are  upon  her:  he  confirmeth 
them,  because  he  held  his  peace  at  her  in  the  day  that  he 
heard  them. 

15  But  if  he  shall  any  ways  make  them  void  after  that  he 
hath  heard  them;  then  he  shall  bear  her  iniquity. 

16  These  are  the  statutes,  which  the  Lord  commanded 
Mo'ses,  between  a  man  and  his  wife,  between  the  father  and 
his  daughter,  being  yet  in  her  youth  in  her  father's  house. 

CHAPTER  XXXI. 

Tke  Midianites  are  spoiled,  and  Balaam  slain, 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 
2  "Avenge  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  of  the  Mid'i-an-ites : 
afterward  shalt  thou  'be  gathered  unto  thy  people. 

3  And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  people,  saying.  Arm  some 
of  yourselves  unto  the  war,  and  let  them  go  against  the 
Mid'i-an-ites,  and  avenge  the  Lord  of  Mid'i-an. 

4  fOf  every  tribe  a  thousand,  throughout  all  tke  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el,  shall  ye  send  to  the  war. 

5  So  there  were  delivered  out  of  the  thousands  of  Is'ra-el, 
a  thousand  of  every  tribe,  twelve  thousand  armed  for  war. 

6  And  Mo'ses  sent  them  to  the  war,  a  thousand  of  every 
tribe,  them  and  Phin'e-has  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar  the  priest, 
to  the  war,  with  the  holy  instruments,  and  "the  trumpets  to 
blow  in  his  hand. 

7  And  they  warred  against  the  Mid'i-an-ites,  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses ;  and  ''they  slew  all  the  'males. 

8  And  they  slew  the  kings  of  Mid'i-an,  besides  the  rest  of 
them  that  were  slain;  namely,  ■'^E'vi,  and  Re'kem,  and  Zur, 
and  Hur,  and  Re'ba,  five  kings  of  Mid'i-an :  "Ba'laam  also 
the  son  of  Be'or  they  slew  with  the  sword. 

9  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  took  all  the  women  of 
Mid'i-an  captives,  and  their  little  ones,  and  took  the  spoil  of 
all  their  cattle,  and  all  their  flocks,  and  all  their  goods. 

10  And  they  burnt  all  their  cities  wherein  they  dwelt,  and 
all  their  goodly  castles,  with  fire. 

11  And  *they  took  all  the  spoil,  and  all  the  prey,  both  of 
men  and  of  beasts. 

12  And  they  brought  the  captives,  and  the  prey,  and  the 
spoil,  unto  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  unto  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  the  camp  at  the 
plains  of  Mo'ab,  which  are  by  Jor'dan  near  Jer'i-cho. 

13  ^And  Mo'ses,and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,and  all  the  princes 
of  the  congregation,went  forth  to  meet  them  without  the  camp. 

14  And  Mo'ses  was  wroth  with  the  officers  of  the  host, 
with  the  captains  over  thousands,  and  captains  over  hun- 
dreds, which  came  from  the  fbattle. 

15  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them,  Have  ye  saved  'all  the 
women  alive? 

16  Behold,  *these  caused  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  through 
the  'counsel  of  Ba'laam,  to  commit  trespass  against  the 
Lord  in  the  matter  of  Pe'or,  and  "there  was  a  plague  among 
the  congregation  of  the  Lord. 

17  Now  therefore  "kill  every  male  among  the  little  ones,  and 
kill  every  woman  that  hath  known  man  by  lying  with  fhim. 

18  But  all  the  women  children,  that  have  not  known  a  man 
by  lying  with  him,  keep  alive  for  yourselves. 

19  And  "do  ye  abide  without  the  camp  seven  days :  who- 
soever hath  killed  any  person,  and  "whosoever  hath  touched 
any  slain,  purify  both  yourselves  and  your  captives  on  the 
third  day,  and  on  the  seventh  day. 

20  And  purify  all  your  raiment,  and  all  fthat  is  made  of  skins, 
and  all  work  of  goats'  hair,  and  all  things  made  of  wood. 

21  lyAnd  E-le-a'zar  the  priest  said  unto  the  men  of  war 
which  went  to  the  battle,  This  is  the  ordinance  of  the  law 
which  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses; 


13  Every  vow,  and  every  binding  oath  to  afflict  the  soul, 
her  husband  may   establish  it,  or  her  husband  may 

14  make  it  void.  But  if  her  husband  altogether  hold  his 
peace  at  her  from  day  to  day ;  then  he  establisheth  all 
her  vows,  or  all  her  bonds,  which  are  upon  her :  he 
hath  established  them,  because  he  held  his  peace  at 

15  her  in  the  day  that  he  heard  them.  But  if  he  shall 
make  them  null  and  void  after  that  he  hath  heard 

16 them;  then  he  shall  bear  her  iniquity.  These  are 
the  statutes,  which  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  be- 
tween a  man  and  his  wife,  between  a  father  and  his 
daughter,  being  in  her  youth,  in  her  father's  house. 

v4-      And    the    Lord     spake    unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

2  Avenge  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  of  the  Mid'i-an-ites : 
afterward  shalt  thou  be  gathered  unto  thy  people. 

3  And  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  people,  saying.  Arm  ye 
men  from  among  you  for  the  war,  that  they  may  go 
against  Mid'i-an,  to  execute  the  Lord's  vengeance  on 

4  Mid'i-an.     Of  every  tribe  a  thousand,  throughout  all 

5  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  ye  send  to  the  war.  So 
there  were  delivered,  out  of  the  thousands  of  Is'ra-el, 
a  thousand  of  every  tribe,  twelve  thousand  armed 

6  for  war.  And  Mo'ses  sent  them,  a  thousand  of  every 
tribe,  to  the  war,  them  and  Phin'e-has  the  son  of 
El-e-a'zar  the  priest,  to  the  war,  with  the  vessels  of 
the  sanctuary  and  the  trumpets  for  the  alarm  in  his 

7  hand.  And  they  warred  against  Mid'i-an,  as  the 
Lord    commanded  Mo'ses ;    and    they   slew  every 

8  male.  And  they  slew  the  kings  of  Mid'i-an  with 
the  rest  of  their  slain;  E'vi,  and  Re'kem,  and  Zur, 
and  Hur,  and  Re'ba,  the  five  kings  of  Mid'i-an : 
Ba'laam  also  the  son  of  Be'or  they  slew  with  the 

9  sword.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  took  captive  the 
women  of  Mid'i-an  and  their  little  ones  ;  and  all  their 
cattle,  and  all  their  flocks,  and  all  their  goods,  they 

10  took  for  a  prey.  And  all  their  cities  in  the  places 
wherein  they  dwelt,  and  all  their  encampments,  they 

11  burnt  with  fire.     And  they  took  all  the  spoil,  and  all 

1 2  the  prey,  both  of  man  and  of  beast.  And  they  brought 
the  captives,  and  the  prey,  and  the  spoil,  unto  Mo'ses, 
and  unto  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  unto  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  the  camp  at  the 
plains  of  Mo'ab,  which  are  by  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i-cho. 

13  And  Mo'ses,  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  all  the 
princes   of  the    congregation,    went    forth  to  meet 

14  them  without  the  camp.  And  Mo'ses  was  wroth  with 
the  officers  of  the  host,  the  captains  of  thousands 
and  the  captains  of  hundreds,  which  came  from  the 

15  service   of  the   war.     And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them, 
16 Have  ye  saved  all  the  women  alive?     Behold,  these 

caused  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  through  the  counsel 
of  Ba'laam,  to  commit  trespass  against  the  Lord  in 
the  matter  of  Pe'or,  and  so  the  plague  was  among 

17  the  congregation  of  the  Lord.  Now  therefore  kill 
every  male  among  the  little  ones,  and  kill  every 
woman  that  hath  known    man  by   lying  with  him. 

18  But  all  the  women  children,  that  have  not  known 
man  by  lying  with  him,  keep  alive  for  yourselves. 

19  And  encamp  ye  without  the  camp  seven  days : 
whosoever  hath  killed  any  person,  and  whoso- 
ever hath  touched  any  slain,  purify  yourselves  on 
the  third  day  and  on  the  seventh  day,  ye  and  your 

20  Captives.  And  as  to  every  garment,  and  all  that 
is  made  of  skin,  and  all  work  of  goats'  hair,  and 
all  things  made  of  wood,  ye  shall  purify  yourselves. 

21  And  I^-le-a'zar  the  priest  said  unto  the  men  of  war 
which  went  to  the  battle.  This  is  the  statute  of 
the  law  which  the  Lord  hath  commanded  Mo'ses:

tin,  and  the  lead, 

23  Every  thing  that  may  abide  the  fire,  ye  shall  make  it 
go  through  the  fire,  and  it  shall  be  clean  :  nevertheless  it 
shall  be  purified  'with  the  water  of  separation  :  and  all  that 
abideth  not  the  fire  ye  shall  make  go  through  the  water. 

24  'And  ye  shall  wash  your  clothes  on  the  seventh  day,  and 
ye  shall  be  clean,  and  afterward  ye  shall  come  into  the  camp. 

25  *[[And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

26  Take  the  sum  of  the  prey  fthat  was  taken,  both  of  man 
and  of  beast,  thou,  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  the  chief 
fathers  of  the  congregation :     . 

27  And  'divide  the  prey  into  two  parts ;  between  them 
that  took  the  war  upon  them,  who  went  out  to  battle,  and 
between  all  the  congregation : 

28  And  levy  a  tribute  unto  the  Lord  of  the  men  of  war  which 
went  out  to  battle :  'one  soul  of  five  hundred,  both  of  the  per- 
sons, and  of  the  beeves,  and  of  the  asses,  and  of  the  sheep  : 

29  Take  it  of  their  half,  and  give  it  unto  E-le-a'zar  the 
priest,  for  a  heave  offering  of  the  Lord. 

30  And  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el's  half,  thou  shalt  take  "one 
portion  of  fifty,  of  the  persons,  of  the  beeves,  of  the  asses,  and  of 
the  llflocks,  of  all  manner  of  beasts,  and  give  them  unto  the  Le'- 
vites,  "^which  keep  the  charge  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord. 

31  And  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses. 

32  And  the  booty,  being  the  rest  of  the  prey  which  the 
men  of  war  had  caught,  was  six  hundred  thousand  and 
seventy  thousand  and  five  thousand  sheep, 

33  And  threescore  and  twelve  thousand  beeves, 

34  And  threescore  and  one  thousand  asses, 

35  And  thirty  and  two  thousand  persons  in  all,  of  women 
that  had  not  known  man  by  lying  with  him. 

36  And  the  half,  which  was  the  portion  of  them  that  went 
out  to  war,  was  in  number  three  hundred  thousand  and 
seven  and  thirty  thousand  and  five  hundred  sheep  : 

37  And  the  Lord's  tribute  of  the  sheep  was  six  hundred 
and  threescore  and  fifteen. 

38  And  the  beeves  were  thirty  and  six  thousand  ;  of  which 
the  Lord's  tribute  was  threescore  and  twelve. 

39  And  the  asses  were  thirty  thousand  and  five  hundred  ; 
of  which  the  Lord's  tribute  was  threescore  and  one. 

40  And  the  persons  were  sixteen  thousand ;  of  which  the 
Lord's  tribute  was  thirty  and  two  persons. 

41  And  Mo'ses  gave  the  tribute,  which  was  the  Lord's 
heave  offering,  unto  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  "as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Mo'ses. 

42  And  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el's  half,  which  Mo'ses  di- 
vided from  the  men  that  warred, 

43  (Now  the  half  that  pertained  unto  the  congregation  was 
three  hundred  thousand  and  thirty  thousand  and  seven 
thousand  and  five  hundred  sheep, 

44  And  thirty  and  six  thousand  beeves, 

45  And  thirty  thousand  asses  and  five  hundred, 

46  And  sixteen  thousand  persons,) 

47  Even  ''of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el's  half,  Mo'ses  took  one 
portion  of  fifty,  both  of  man  and  of  beast,  and  gave  them 
unto  the  Le'vites,  which  kept  the  charge  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  Lord  ;  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

48  ^And  the  officers  which  were  over  thousands  of  the 
host,  the  captains  of  thousands,  and  captains  of  hundreds, 
came  near  unto  Mo'ses  : 

49  And  they  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Thy  servants  have  taken 
the  sum  of  the  men  of  war  which  are  under  our  fcharge, 
and  there  lacketh  not  one  man  of  us. 

60  We  have  therefore  brought  an  oblation  for  the  Lord, 
what  every  man  hath  fgotten,  of  jewels  of  gold,  chains, 
and  bracelets,  rings,  earrings,  and  tablets,  °to  make  an 
atonement  for  our  souls  before  the  Lord. 


22  howbeit  the  gold,  and  the  silver,  the  brass,  the  iron, 

23  the  tin,  and  the  lead,  every  thing  that  may  abide  the 
fire,  ye  shall  make  to  go  through  the  fire,  and  it  shall 
be  clean ;  nevertheless  it  shall  be  purified  with  the 
water  of  'separation  :  and  all  that  abideth  not  the  fire 

24  ye  shall  make  to  go  through  the  water.  And  ye  shall 
wash  your  clothes  on  the  seventh  day,  and  ye  shall 
be  clean,  and  afterward  ye  shall  come  into  the  camp. 

25  And    the    Lord    spake    unto     Mo'ses,    saying, 

26  Take  the  sum  of  the  prey  that  was  taken,  both  of 
man  and  of  beast,  thou,  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and 
the  heads  of  the  fathers'  homes  of  the  congregation  : 

27  and  divide  the  prey  into  two  parts ;  between  the 
men  skilled  in  vt^ar,  that  went  out  to  battle,  and  all 

28  the  congregation  :  and  levy  a  tribute  unto  the  Lord 
of  the  men  of  war  that  went  out  to  battle  :  one 
soul  of  five  hundred,  both  of  the  persons,  and  of  the 

29  beeves,  and  of  the  asses,  and  of  the  flocks :  take  it 
of  their  half,  and  give  it  unto  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  for 

30  the  Lord's  heave  offering.  And  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el's  half,  thou  shalt  take  one  drawn  out  of  every 
fifty,  of  the  persons,  of  the  beeves,  of  the  asses,  and 
of  the  flocks,  even  of  all  the  cattle,  and  give  them 
unto  the  Le'vites,  which  keep  the  charge  of  the  tab- 

31  ernacle  of  the  Lord.     And  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  the 

32  priest  did  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.  Now 
the  prey,  over  and  above  the  booty  which  the  men 
of  war  took,  was  six  hundred  thousand  and  seventy 

33  thousand  and  five  thousand  sheep,   and   threescore 

34  and  twelve  thousand  beeves,  and  threescore  and  one 

35  thousand  asses,  and  thirty  and  two  thousand  persons 
in  all,  of  the  women  that  had  not  known  man  by 

36  lying  with  him.  And  the  half,  which  was  the  por 
tion  of  them  that  went  out  to  war,  was  in  number 
three  hundred  thousand  and    thirty   thousand  and 

37  seven  thousand  and  five  hundred  sheep :  and  the 
Lord's  tribute  of  the  sheep  was  six  hundred   and 

38  threescore  and  fifteen.  And  the  beeves  were  thirty 
and  six  thousand  ;  of  which  the  Lord's  tribute  was 

39  threescore  and  twelve.  And  the  asses  were  thirty 
thousand  and  five  hundred ;  of  which  the   Lord's 

40  tribute  was  threescore  and  one.  And  the  persons 
were  sixteen  thousand  ;  of  whom  the  Lord's  tribute 

41  was  thirty  and  two  persons.  And  Mo'ses  gave  the 
tribute,  which  was  the  Lord's  heave  offering,  unto 
E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

42  And  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el's  half,  which  Mo'ses 

43  divided  off  from  the  men  that  warred,  (now  the  con- 
gregation's half  was  three  hundred  thousand  and 
thirty  thousand,  seven  thousand  and  five   hundred 

Jl  sheep,  and  thirty  and  six  thousand  beeves,  and  thirty 

46  thousand  and  five  hundred  asses,  and  sixteen  thou- 

47  sand  persons  ;)  even  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el's  half, 
Mo'ses  took  one  drawn  out  of  every  fifty,  both  of 
man  and  of  beast,  and  gave  them  unto  the  Le'vites, 
which  kept  the  charge  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord  ; 

48  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.  And  the  ofiicers 
which  were  over  the  thousands  of  the  host,  the  cap- 
tains of  thousands,  and  the  captains  of  hundreds,  came 

49  near  unto  Mo'ses :  and  they  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Thy 
servants  have  taken  the  sum  of  the  men  of  war  which 
are  under  our  charge,  and  there  lacketh  not  one  man 

50  of  us.  And  we  have  brought  the  Lord's  oblation, 
what  every  man  hath  gotten,  of  jewels  of  gold,  ankle 
chains,  and  bracelets,  signet-rings,  earrings,and  ^'arm- 
lets,  to  make  atonement  for  our  souls  before  the  Lord.

51  And  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest  took  the  gold  of 
them,  even  all  wrought  jewels. 

52  And  all  the  gold  of  thefoffering  that  they  offered  up  to  the 
Lord,  of  the  captains  of  thousands,  and  of  the  captains  of  hun- 
dreds, was  sixteen  thousand  seven  hundred  and  fifty  shekels.

54  And  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest  took  the  gold  of 

the  captains  of  thousands  and   of  hundreds,  and   brought 

it  into  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  "for  a  memorial 

for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  before  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  XXXII. 

The  Reubenites  and  GadiUs  sue  /or  their  inheritance — They  conquer  it. 

"VTOW  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of  Gad 
-Li  had  a  very  great  multitude  of  cattle :  and  when  they 
saw  the  land  of  "Ja'zer,  and  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  that,  be- 
hold, the  place  was  a  place  for  cattle ; 

2  The  children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Reu'ben  came 
and  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  and  to  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  unto 
the  princes  of  the  congregation,  saying, 

3  At'a-roth,  and  Di'bon,and  Ja'zer,and'Nim'rah,  and  Hesh'- 
bon,  and  E-le-a'leh,  and  'She'bam,  and  Ne'bo,  and  ''Be'on, 

4  Even  the  country  'which  the  Lord  smote  before  the  congre- 
gation of  Is'ra-el,  is  a  land  for  cattle,  and  thy  servan  ts  have  cattle : 

5  Wherefore,  said  they,  if  we  have  found  grace  in  thy 
sight,  let  this  land  be  given  unto  thy  servants  for  a  posses- 
sion, and  bring  us  not  over  Jor'dan. 

6  ^And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  children  of  Gad  and  to  the 
children  of  Reu'ben,  Shall  your  brethren  go  to  war,  and 
shall  ye  sit  here? 

7  And  wherefore  fdiscourage  ye  the  heart  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  from  going  over  into  the  land  which  the  Lord 
hath  given  them  ? 

8  Thus  did  your  fathers,  ■''when  I  sent  them  from  Ka'desh- 
bar'ne-a  "to  see  the  land. 

9  For  ''when  they  went  up  unto  the  valley  of  Esh'col,  and 
saw  the  land,  they  discouraged  the  heart  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  they  should  not  go  into  the  land  which  the 
Lord  had  given  them. 

10  And  the  Lord's  anger  was  kindled  the  same  time,  and 
he  sware,  saying, 

11  Surely  none  of  the  men  that  came  up  out  of  E'gypt, 
*from  twenty  years  old  and  upward,  shall  see  the  land  which 
I  sware  unto  A'bra-ham,  unto  I'saac,  and  unto  Ja'cob ;  be- 
cause 'they  have  not  fwholly  followed  me  : 

12  Save  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh  the  Ken'ez-ite,  and 
Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun :  "for  they  have  wholly  followed 
the  Lord. 

13  And  the  Lord's  anger  was  kindled  against  Is'ra-el,  and 
he  made  them  "wander  in  the  wilderness  forty  years,  until 
"all  the  generation,  that  had  done  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  was  consumed. 

14  And,  behold,  ye  are  risen  up  in  your  fathers'  stead,  an 
increase  of  sinful  men,  to  augment  yet  the  "fierce  anger  of 
the  Lord  toward  Is'ra-el. 

15  For  if  ye  «turn  away  from  after  him,he  will  yet  again  leave 
them  in  the  wilderness ;  and  ye  shall  destroy  all  this  people. 

16  ^And  they  came  near  unto  him,  and  said,We  will  build 
sheepfolds  here  for  our  cattle,  and  cities  for  our  little  ones : 

17  But  ""we  ourselves  will  go  ready  armed  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  until  we  have  brought  them  unto  their  place  : 
and  our  little  ones  shall  dwell  in  the  fenced  cities,  because 
of  the  inhabitants  of  the  land. 

18  'We  will  not  return  unto  our  houses,  until  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el-have  inherited  every  man  his  inheritance. 

19  For  we  will  not  inherit  with  them  on  yonder  side  Jor'- 
dan, or  forward ;  'because  our  inheritance  is  fallen  to  us  on 
this  side  Jor'dan  eastward. 

20  ^And  "Mo'ses  said  unto  them.  If  ye  will  do  this  thing, 
if  ye  will  go  armed  before  the  Lord  to  war, 


51  And  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar  the  priest  took  the  gold  of 

52  them,  even  all  wrought  jewels.  And  all  the  gold  of 
the  heave  offering  that  they  offered  up  to  the  Lord, 
of  the  captains  of  thousands,  and  of  the  captains  of 
hundreds,  was  sixteen  thousand  seven  hundred  and 

53  fifty  shekels.  i^For  the  men  of  war  had  taken  booty, 

54  every  man  for  himself.)  And  Mo'ses  and  E-le-a'zar 
the  priest  took  the  gold  of  the  captains  of  thousands 
and  of  hundreds,  and  brought  it  into  the  tent  of 
meeting,  for  a  memorial  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
before  the  Lord. 

v-4  Now  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of 
Gad  had  a  very  great  multitude  of  cattle :  and  when 
they  saw  the  land  of  Ja'zer,  and  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad, 

2  that,  behold,  the  place  was  a  place  for  cattle ;  the 
children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Reu'ben  came 
and  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  and  to  E-le-a'zar  the  priest, 
and  unto  the  princes  of  the  congregation,  saying, 

3  At'a-roth,  and  Di'bon,  and  Ja'zer,  and  ^Nim'rah,  and 
Hesh'bon,and  E-le-a'leh,  and  'Se'bam,  and  Ne'bo,  and 

4  *Be'on,  the  land  which  the  Lord  smote  before  the 
congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  is  a  land  for  cattle,  and  thy 

5  servants  have  cattle.  And  they  said.  If  we  have 
found  grace  in  thy  sight,  let  this  land  be  given  unto 
thy  servants  for  a  possession ;  bring  us   not  over 

6  Jor'dan.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  the  children  of  Gad 
and  to  the  children  of  Reu'ben,  Shall  your  brethren 

7  go  to  the  war,  and  shall  ye  sit  here  ?  And  where- 
fore discourage  ye  the  heart  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
from  going  over  into  the  land  which  the  Lord  hath 

8  given  them  ?     Thus  did  your  fathers,  when  I  sent 

9  them  from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a  to  see  the  land.  For 
when  they  went  up  unto  the  valley  of  Esh'col,  and 
saw  the  land,  they  discouraged  the  heart  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  should  not  go  into  the 

10  land  which  the  Lord  had  given  them.  And  the 
Lord's  anger  was  kindled  in  that  day,  and  he  sware, 

11  saying.  Surely  none  of  the  men  that  came  up  out  of 
E'gypt,  from  twenty  years  old  and  upward,  shall  see 
the  land  which  I  sware  unto  A'bra-ham,  unto  I'saac, 
and  unto  Ja'cob ;  because  they  have  not  wholly  fol- 

12  lowed  me:  save  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh  the 
Ken'iz-zite,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun :  because  they 

13  have  wholly  followed  the  Lord.  And  the  Lord's 
anger  was  kindled  against  Is'ra-el,  and  he  made  them 
wander  to  and  fro  in  the  wilderness  forty  years, 
until  all  the  generation,  that  had  done  evil   in  the 

14  sight  of  the  Lord,  was  consumed.  And,  behold,  ye 
are  risen  up  in  your  fathers'  stead,  an  increase  of 
sinful  men,  to  augment  yet  the  fierce  anger  of  the 

15  Lord  toward  Is'ra-el .  For  if  ye  turn  away  from  after 
him,  he  will  yet  again  leave  them  in  the  wilderness ; 

16  and  ye  shall  destroy  all  this  people.  And  they  came 
near  unto  him,  and  said.  We  will  build  sheepfolds 
here  for  our  cattle,-  and  cities  for  our  little   ones  : 

17  but  we  ourselves  will  be  ready  armed  to  go  before 
the  children  of  Is'ra-6l,  until  we  have  brought  them 
unto  their  place :  and  our  little  ones  shall  dwell  in  the 
fenced  cities  because  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  land. 

18  We  will  not  return  unto  our  houses,  until  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  have  inherited  every  man  his  inherit- 

19  ance.  For  we  will  not  inherit  with  them  on  the  other 
side  Jor'dan,  and  forward ;  because  our   inheritance 

20  is  fallen  to  us  on  this  side  Jor'dan  eastward.  And 
Mo'ses  said  unto  them.  If  ye  will  do  this  thing  ;  if  ye 
will  arm  yourselves  to  go  before  the  Lord  to  the  war,

21  And  will  go  all  of  you  armed  over  Jor'dan  before  the 
Lord,  until  he  hath  driven  out  his  enemies  from  before  him, 

22  And  ^the  land  be  subdued  before  the  Lord  :  then  after- 
ward "ye  shall  return,  and  be  guiltless  before  the  Lord,  and 
before  Is'ra-el ;  and  this  land  shall  be  your  possession  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

23  But  if  ye  will  not  do  so,  behold,  ye  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord  :  and  be  sure  "your  sin  will  find  you  out. 

24  ''Build  you  cities  for  your  little  ones,  and  folds  for 
your  sheep ;  and  do  that  which  hath  proceeded  out  of  your 
mouth. 

25  And  the  children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Reu'ben 
spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,  Thy  servants  will  do  as  my  lord 
commandeth. 

26  'Our  little  ones,  our  wives,  our  flocks,  and  all  our  cattle, 
shall  be  there  in  the  cities  of  Gil'e-ad : 

27  ''But  thy  servants  will  pass  over,  every  man  armed  for 
war,  before  the  Lord  to  battle,  as  my  lord  saith. 

28  So  'concerning  them  Mo'ses  commanded  E-le-a'zar  the 
priest,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the  chief  fathers 
of  the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 

29  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them.  If  the  children  of  Gad  and 
the  children  of  Reu'ben  will  pass  with  you  over  Jor'dan, 
every  man  armed  to  battle,  before  the  Lord,  and  the  land 
shall  be  subdued  before  you ;  then  ye  shall  give  them  the 
land  of  Gil'e-ad  for  a  possession : 

30  But  if  they  will  not  pass  over  with  you  armed,  they 
shall  have  possessions  among  you  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

31  And  the  children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Reu'ben 
answered,  saying.  As  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  thy  servants, 
so  will  we  do. 

32  We  will  pass  over  armed  before  the  Lord  into  the 
land  of  Ca'naan,  that  the  possession  of  our  inheritance  on 
this  side  Jor'dan  may  be  ours. 

33  And  ^Mo'ses  gave  unto  them,  even  to  the  children  of 
Gad,  and  to  the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and  unto  half  the  tribe 
of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  Jo'seph,  "the  kingdom  of  Si'hon 
king  of  the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  kingdom  of  Og  king  of  Ba'- 
ehan,  the  land,  with  the  cities  thereof  in  the  coasts,  even  the 
cities  of  the  country  round  about. 

34  ^And  the  children  of  Grad  built  *Di'bon,  and  At'a-roth, 
and  *Ar'o-er. 

35  And  At'roth,  Sho'phan,  and  Ja-a'zer,  and  Jog'be-hah, 

36  And  'Beth-nim'rah,  and  Beth-ha'ran,  "fenced  cities; 
and  folds  for  sheep. 

37  And  the  children  of  Reu'ben  "built  Hesh'bon,  and 
E-le-a'leh,  and  Kir-jath-a'im, 

38  And  "Ne'bo,  and  "Ba'al-me'on,  ("their  names  being 
changed,)  and  Shib'mah :  and  tg^ve  other  names  unto  the 
cities  which  they  builded. 

39  And  the  children  of  "^Ma'chir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh 
went  to  Gil'e-ad,  and  took  it,  and  dispossessed  the  Am'o-rite 
which  was  in  it. 

40  And  Mo'ses  'gave  Gil'e-ad  unto  Ma'chir  the  son  of 
Ma-nas'seh ;  and  he  dwelt  therein. 

41  And  'Ja'ir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh  went  and  took  the 
small  towns  thereof,  and  called  them  "Ha'voth-ja'ir. 

42  And  No'bah  went  and  took  Ke'nath,  and  the  villages 
thereof,  and  called  it  No'bah,  after  his  own  name. 

CHAF-TER  XXXIII. 

Two  and  forty  journeys  of  the  Israelites. 

THESE  are  the  journeys  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
went  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  with  their  armies 
under  the  hand  of  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron. 

2  And  Mo'ses  wrote  their  goings  out  according  to  their 
journeys  by  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  :  and  these  are 
their  journeys  according  to  their  goings  out. 

3  And  they  "departed  from  Ra-me'ses  in  Hhe  first  month,on 
the  fifteenth  day  of  the  first  month ;  on  the  morrow  after  the 


21  and  every  armed  man  of  you  will  pass  over  Jor'dan 
before  the  Lord,  until  he  hath  driven  out  his  en- 

22emies  from  before  him,  and  the  land  be  subdued 
before  the  LoRD:  then  afterward  ye  shall  return, 
and  be  guiltless  towards  the  Lord,  and  towards 
Is'ra-el;  and  this  land  shall  be  unto  you  for  a  pos- 

23  session  before  the  Lord.  But  if  ye  will  not  do 
so,  behold,  ye  have  sinned  against  the  Lord:  and 

24  be  sure  your  sin  will  find  you  out.  Build  you  cities 
for  your  little  ones,  and  folds  for  your  sheep;  and 
do  that  which  hath  proceeded  out  of  your  mouth. 

25  And  the  children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Reu'ben 
spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying.  Thy  servants  will  do  as 

26  my  lord  commandeth.  Our  little  ones,  our  wives, 
our  flocks,  and  all  our  cattle,  shall  be  there  in  the 

27  cities  of  Gil'e-ad :  but  thy  servants  will  pass  over, 
every  man  that  is  armed  for  war,  before  the  Lord  to 
battle,  as  my  lord  saith. 

28  So  Mo'ses  gave  charge  concerning  them  to  E-le-a'- 
zar the  priest,  and  to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  to 
the  heads  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  the  tribes  of  the 

29  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  Mo'ses  said  unto  them.  If 
the  children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Reu'ben  will 
pass  with  you  over  Jor'dan,  every  man  that  is  armed 
to  battle,  before  the  Lord,  and  the  land  shall  be 
subdued  before  you ;  then  ye   shall  give  them  the 

30  land  of  Gil'e-ad  for  a  possession  :  but  if  they  will  not 
pass  over  with  you  armed,  they  shall  have  posses- 

31  sions  among  you  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan.  And  the 
children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Reu'ben  answered, 
saying,  As  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  thy  servants,  so 

32  will  we  do.  We  will  pass  over  armed  before  the 
Lord  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  and  the  possession  of 
our  inheritance  shall  remain  with  us  beyond  Jor'dan. 

33  And  Mo'ses  gave  unto  them,  even  to  the  children  of 
Gad,  and  to  the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and  unto  the 
half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  Jo'seph,  the  king- 
dom of  Si'hon  king  of  the  Am'o-rites,and  the  kingdom 
of  Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  the  land,  according  to  the 
cities    thereof  with    their  borders,   even  the   cities 

34  of  the  land  round  about.     And  the  children  of  Gad 
35 built  Di'bon,  and  At'a-roth,  and  Ar'o-er ;  and  At'roth- 

36  sho'phan,andJa'zer,andJog'be-hah;  andBeth-nim'rah, 
and  Beth-ha'ran:  fenced  cities,  and  folds  for  sheep. 

37  And  the   children  of  Reu'ben  built  Hesh'bon,  and 

38  E-le-a'leh,  and  Kir-i-a-tha'im ;  and  Ne'bo,and  Ba'al- 
me'on,  (their  names  being  changed,)  and  Sib'mah :  and 
gave  other  names  unto  the  cities  which  they  builded. 

39  And  the  children  of  Ma'chir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh 
went  to  Gil'e-ad,  and  took  it,  and  dispossessed  the 

40  Am'o-rites  which  were  therein.  And  Mo'ses  gave 
Gil'e-ad  unto  Ma'chir  the  son  of  Ma'nas-seh ;  and  he 

41  dwelt  therein.  And  Ja'ir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh  went 
and  took  the  towns  thereof,  and  called  them  'Hav'- 

42  voth-ja'ir.  And  No'bah  went  and  took  Ke'nath,  and 
the  'villages  thereof,  and  called  it  No'bah,  after  his 
own  name. 

vd  These  are  the  ^journeys  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el, ^when  they  went  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt  by  their   hosts   under  the    hand  of  Mo'ses 

2  and  Aa'ron.  And  Mo'ses  wrote  their  goings  out 
according  to  their  journeys  by  the  commandment

ward the  sunrising. 

16  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying,

land  unto  you :  'E-le-a  zar  the  priest,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun.

CHAPTER    XXXV. 

Cities /or  the  Levites— Cities  of  refuge — The  laws  of  murder. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  the  plains  of  Mo'ab 
by  Jor'dan  near  Jer'i-cho,  saying, 

2  "Command  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  give  unto  the 
Le'vites  of  the  inheritance  of  their  possession,  cities  to  dwell 
in ;  and  ye  shall  give  also  unto  the  Le'vites  suburbs  for  the 
cities  round  about  them. 

3  And  the  cities  shall  they  have  to  dwell  in  ;  and  the  sub- 
urbs of  them  shall  be  for  their  cattle,  and  for  their  goods, 
and  for  all  their  beasts. 

4  And  the  suburbs  of  the  cities  which  ye  shall  give  unto 
the  Le'vites,  shall  reach  from  the  wall  of  the  city  and  out- 
ward a  thousand  cubits  round  about. 

5  And  ye  shall  measure  from  without  the  city  on  the  east 
side  two  thousand  cubits,  and  on  the  south  side  two  thou- 
sand cubits,  and  on  the  we.st  side  two  thousand  cubits,  and 
on  the  north  side  two  thousand  cubits ;  and  the  city  shall  be 
in  the  midst :  this  shall  be  to  them  the  suburbs  of  the  cities. 


entering  in  of  Ha'math ;  and  the  goings  out  of  the 
9  border  shall  be  at  Ze'dad :  and  the  border  shall  go 

forth  to  Zi'phron,  and  the  goings  out  thereof  shall 

be  at  Ha'zar-e'nan :  this  shall  be  your  north  border. 
10  And  ye  shall  mark  out  your  east  border  from  Ha'zar- 
lle'nan  to  She'pham:  and  the  border  shall  go  down 

from  She'pham  to  Rib'lah,  on  the  east  side  of  A'in ; 

and  the  border  shall  go  down,  and  shall  reach  unto 

12  the  'side  of  the  sea  of  Chin'ne-reth  eastward :  and  the 
border  shall  go  down  to  Jor'dan,  and  the  goings  out 
thereof  shall  be  at  the  Salt  Sea :  this  shall  be  your 
land  according  to  the  borders  thereof  round  about. 

13  And  Mo'ses  commanded  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  say- 
ing. This  is  the  land  which  ye. shall  inherit  by  lot, 
which  the  Lord  hath  commanded  to  give  unto  the 

14  nine  tribes,  and  to  the  half  tribe:  for  the  tribe  of  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  according  to  their  fathers' 
houses,  and  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Gad  accord- 
ing to  their  fathers'  houses,  have  received,  and  the 
half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  have  received,  their  inherit- 

15ance  :  the  two  tribes  and  the  half  tribe  have  received 
their  inheritance  beyond  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i-cho  east- 
ward, toward  the  sunrising. 

16  And    the    Lord    spake     unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

17  These  are.  the  names  of  the  men  which  shall  divide 
the  land  unto  you  for  inheritance :    E-le-a'zar  the 

18  priest,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun.  And  ye  shall 
take  one  prince  of  every  tribe,  to  divide  the  land  for 

19 inheritance.  And  these  are  the  names  of  the  men: 
of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah,  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh. 

20  And  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Sim'e-on,  She-mu'el 

21  the  son  of  Am-mi'hud.     Of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min, 

22  E-li'dad  the  son  of  Chis'lon.  And  of  the  tribe  of  the 
children  of  Dan  a  prince,  Buk'ki  the  son  of  Jog'li. 

23  Of  the  children  of  Jo'seph  :  of  the  tribe  of  the  children 
of  Ma-nas'seh  a  prince,  Han'ni-el  the  son  of  E'phod : 

24  and  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  E'phra-im  a  prince, 

25  Ke-mu'el  the  son  of  Shiph'tan.  And  of  the  tribe  of 
the  children  of  Zeb'u-lun  a  prince,  E-liz'a-phan  the  son 

26  of  Par'nach.     And  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of 

27  Is'sa-char  a  prince,  Pal'ti-el  the  son  of  Az'zan.  And  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ash'er  a  prince,  A-hi'hud

29  These  are  they  whom  the  Lord  commanded  to 
divide  the  inheritance  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in 
the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

OO     And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  in  the  plains  of 

2  Mo'ab  by  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i-cho,  saying.  Command 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  give  unto  the  Le'- 
vites of  the  inheritance  of  their  possession  cities  to 
dwell  in;  and  ''suburbs  for  the  cities  round  about 

3  them  shall  ye  give  unto  the  Le'vites.  And  the  cities 
shall  they  have  to  dwell  in ;  and  their  suburbs  shall 
be  for  their  cattle,  and  for  their  substance,  and  for 

4  all  their  beasts.  And  the  suburbs  of  the  cities, 
which  ye  shall  give  unto  the  Le'vites,  shall  be  from 
the  wall  of  the  city  and  outward  a  thousand  cubits 

5  round  about.  And  ye  shall  measure  without  the 
city  for  the  east  side  two  thousand  cubits,  and  for 
the  south  side  two  thousand  cubits,  and  for  the 
west  side  two  thousand  cubits,  and  for  the  north 
side  two  thousand  cubits,  the  city  being  in  the  midst. 
This  shall  be  to  them  the  suburbs  of  the  cities.

6  And  among  the  cities  wiiich  ye  shall  give  unto  the 
Le'vites  there  shall  be  ''six  cities  for  refuge,  which  ye  shall 
appoint  for  the  manslayer,  that  he  may  flee  thither :  and  f  to 
them  ye  shall  add  forty  and  two  cities. 

7  So  all  the  cities  which  ye  shall  give  to  the  Le'vites  shall  be 
''forty  and  eight  cities :  them  shall  ye  give  with  their  suburbs. 

8  And  the  cities  which  ye  shall  give  shall  be  ^of  the  pos- 
session of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  'from  them  that  have 
many  ye  shall  give  many ;  but  from  them  that  have  few  ye 
shall  give  few :  every  one  shall  give  of  his  cities  unto  the 
Le'vites  according  to  his  inheritance  which  f  he  inheriteth. 

9  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses,  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them, 
■'^When  ye  be  come  oyer  Jor'dan  into  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 

11  Then  "ye  shall  appoint  you  cities  to  be  cities  of  refuge 
for  you ;  that  the  slayer  may  flee  thither,  which  killeth  any 
person  fat  unawares. 

12  *And  they  shall  be  unto  you  cities  for  refuge  from  the 
avenger ;  that  the  manslayer  die  not,  until  he  stand  before 
the  congregation  in  judgment. 

13  And  of  these  cities  which  ye  shall  give,  'six  cities  shall 
ye  have  for  refuge. 

14  *Ye  shall  give  three  cities  on  this  side  Jor'dan,  and 
three  cities  shall  ye  give  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  which  shall 
be  cities  of  refuge. 

15  These  six  cities  shall  be  a  refuge,  both  for  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  'for  the  stranger,  and  for  the  sojourner  among 
them ;  that  every  one  that  killeth  any  person  unawares  may 
flee  thither. 

16  "And  if  he  smite  him  with  an  instrument  of  iron,  so 
that  he  die,  he  is  a  murderer :  the  murderer  shall  surely  be 
put  to  death. 

17  And  if  he  smite  him  fwith  throwing  a  stone,  where- 
with he  may  die,  and  he  die,  he  is  a  murderer :  the  mur- 
derer shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

18  Or  if  he  smite  him  with  a  hand  weapon  of  wood, 
wherewith  he  may  die,  and  he  die,  he  is  a,  murderer :  the 
murderer  shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

19  "The  revenger  of  blood  himself  shall  slay  the  mur- 
derer :  when  he  meeteth  him,  he  shall  slay  him. 

20  But  "if  he  thrust  him  of  hatred,  or  hurl  at  him  "by  lay- 
ing of  wait,  that  he  die ; 

21  Or  in  enmity  smite  him  with  his  hand,  that  he  die  :  he 
that  smote  him  shall  surely  be  put  to  death ;  for  he  is  a 
murderer :  the  revenger  of  blood  shall  slay  the  murderer, 
when  he  meeteth  him. 

22  But  if  he  thrust  him  suddenly  'without  enmity,  or  have 
cast  upon  him  any  thing  without  laying  of  wait, 

23  Or  with  any  stone,  wherewith  a  man  may  die,  seeing 
him  not,  and  cast  it  upon  him,  that  he  die,  and  was  not  his 
enemy,  neither  sought  his  harm  : 

24  Then  ''the  congregation  shall  judge  between  the  slayer 
and  the  revenger  of  blood  according  to  these  judgments : 

25  And  the  congregation  shall  deliver  the  slayer  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  revenger  of  blood,  and  the  congregation 
shall  restore  him  to  the  city  of  his  refnge,  whither  he  was 
fled :  and  'he  shall  abide  in  it  unto  the  death  of  the  high 
priest,  'which  was  anointed  with  the  holy  oil. 

26  But  if  the  slayer  shall  at  any  time  come  without  the 
border  of  the  city  of  his  refuge,  whither  he  was  fled  ; 

27  And  the  revenger  of  blood  find  him  without  the  bor- 
ders of  the  city  of  his  refuge,  and  the  revenger  of  blood 
kill  the  slayer ;  fhe  shall  not  be  guilty  of  blood : 

28  Because  he  should  have  remained  in  the  city  of  his 
refuge  until  the  death  of  the  high  priest :  but  after  the  death 
of  the  high  priest  the  slayer  shall  return  into  the  land  of 
his  possession. 

29  So  these  things  shall  be  for  "a  statute  of  judgment  unto 
you  throughout  your  generations  in  all  your  dwellings. 


6  And  the  cities  which  ye  shall  give  unto  the  Le'vites, 
they  shall  be  the  six  cities  of  refuge,  which  ye  shall 
give  for  the  manslayer  to  flee  thither:  and  beside 

7  them  ye  shall  give  forty  and  two  cities.  All  the  cities 
which  ye  shall  give  to  the  Le'vites  shall  be  forty  and 
eight  cities :  them  shall  ye  give  with  their  suburbs. 

8  And  concerning  the  cities  which  ye  shall  give  of 
the  possession  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  from  the 
many  ye  shall  take  many ;  and  from  the  few  ye 
shall  take  few :  every  one  according  to  his  inherit 
ance  which  he  inheriteth  shall  give  of  his  cities  unto 
the  Le'vites. 

9  And    the     Lord     spake     unto    Mo'ses,    saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto 
them.  When  ye  pass  over  Jor'dan  into  the  land  of 

11  Ca'naan,  then  ye  shall  appoint  you  cities  to  be  cities 
of  refuge  for  you ,  that  the  manslayer  which  killeth 

12  any  person  'unwittingly  may  flee  thither.  And  the 
cities  shall  be  unto  you  for  refuge  from  the  avenger ; 
that  the  manslayer  die  not,  until  he  stand  before  the 

13  congregation  for  judgement.  And  the  cities  which 
ye  shall  give  shall  be  for  you  six  cities  of  refuge. 

14  Ye  shall  give  three  cities  beyond  Jor'dan,  and  three 
cities  shall  ye  give  in  the  land   of  Ca'naan ;   they 

15  shall  be  cities  of  refuge.  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  for  the  stranger  and  for  the  sojourner  among 
them,  shall  these  six  cities  be  for  refuge :  that  every 
one  that  killeth  any  person  'unwittingly  may  flee 

16  thither.  But  if  he  smote  him  with  an  instrument  of 
iron,  so  that  he  died,  he  is  a   manslayer :  the  man- 

17  slayer  shall  surely  be  put  to  death.  And  if  he  smote 
him  with  a  stone  in  the  hand,  whereby  a  man  may 
die,  and  he  died,  he  is  a  manslayer :  the  manslayer 

18  shall  surely  be  put  to  death.  Or  if  he  smote  him 
with  a  weapon  of  wood  in  the  hand,  whereby  a  man 
may   die,  and  he  died,  he  is  a  manslayer :  the  man- 

19  slayer  shall  surely  be  put  to  death.  The  avenger  of 
blood  shall  himself  put  the  manslayer  to  death : 
when  he  meeteth  him,  he  shall  put  him  to   death 

20  And  if  he  thrust  him  of  hatred,  or  hurled  at  him, 

21  lying  in  wait,  so  that  he  died ;  or  in  enmity  smote 
him  with  his  hand,  that  he  died  :  he  that  smote  him 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death ;  he  is  a  manslayer :  the 
avenger  of  blood  shall  put  the  manslayer  to  death, 

22  when  he  meeteth  him.  But  if  he  thrust  him  sud- 
denly without  enmity,  or  hurled  upon  him  any  thing 

23  without  lying  in  wait,  or  with  any  stone,  whereby  a 
man  may  die,  seeing  him  not,  and  cast  it  upon  him, 
so  that  he  died,  and  he  was  not  his  enemy,  neither 

24  sought  his  harm  :  then  the  congregation  shall  judge 
between  the  smiter  and  the  avenger  of  blood  accord- 

25ing  to  these  judgements:  and  the  congregation 
shall  deliver  the  manslayer  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
avenger  of  blood,  and  the  congregation  shall  restore 
him  to  his  city  of  refuge,  whither  he  was  fled  :  and 
he  shall  dwell  therein  until   the   death   of  the  high 

26  priest,  which  was  anointed  with  the  holy  oil.  But 
if  the  manslayer  shall  at  any  time  go  beyond   the 

27  border  of  his  city  of  refuge,  whither  he  fleeth ;  and 
the  avenger  of  blood  find  him  without  the  border

28  because  he  should  have  remained  in  his  city  of  ref-

the  death  of  the  high    priest   the    manslayer   shall 

29  return  into  the  land  of  his  possession.  And  these 
things  shall  be  for  a  statute  of  judgement  unto  you 
throughout  your  generations  in  all  your  dwellings.  |

not  testify  against  any  person  to  came  him  to  die.

CHAPTER  XXXVI. 

The  daughters  of  Zelophehad  marry  their  father*  s  brothers^  sons. 

AND  the  chief  fathers  of  the  families  of  the  "children 
of  Gil'e-ad,  the  son  of  Ma'chir,  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh, 
of  the  families  of  the  sons  of  Jo'seph,  came  near,  and  spake 
before  Mo'ses,  and  before  the  princes,  the  chief  fathers  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 

2  And  they  said,  'The  Lord  commanded  my  lord  to  give 
the  land  for  an  inheritance  by  lot  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 
and  "my  lord  was  commanded  by  the  Lord  to  give  the  in- 
heritance of  Ze-lo'phe-had  our  brother  unto  his  daughters. 

3  And  if  they  be  married  to  any  of  the  sons  of  the  other 
tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  then  shall  their  inherit- 
ance be  taken  from  the  inheritance  of  our  fathers,  and 
shall  be  put  to  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe  fwhereunto 
they  are  received :  so  shall  it  be  taken  from  the  lot  of  our 
inheritance. 

4  And  when  ''the  jubilee  of  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  shall  be, 
then  shall  their  inheritance  be  put  unto  the  inheritance  of 
the  tribe  whereunto  they  are  received :  so  shall  their  inher- 
itance be  taken  away  from  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe  of 
our  fathers. 

5  And  Mo'ses  commanded  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  saying.  The  tribe  of  the  sons 
jf  Jo'seph  "hath  said  well. 

6  This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord  doth  command  con- 
cerning the  daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe-had,  saying,  Let  them 
fmarry  to  whom  they  think  best;  ^nly  to  the  family  of 
the  tribe  of  their  father  shall  they  marry. 

7  So  shall  not  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
remove  from  tribe  to  tribe :  for  every  one  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  fkeep^himself  to  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe 
of  his  fathers. 

8  And  *every  daughter,  that  possesseth  an  inheritance  in 
any  tribe  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  be  wife  unto  one  of 
the  family  of  the  tribe  of  hei-  father,  that  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  may  enjoy  every  man  the  inheritance  of  his  fathers. 

9  Neither  shall  the  inheritance  remove  from  one  tribe  to 
another  tribe ;  but  every  one  of  the  tribes  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  keep  himself  to  his  own  inheritance. 

10  Even  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  so  did  the 
daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe-had : 

11  'For  Mah'lah,  Tir'zah,  and  Hog'lah,  andMil'cah,  and 
No'ah,  the  daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe-had,  were  married  unto 
their  father's  brothers'  sons: 

12  And  they  were  married  finto  the  families  of  the  sons 
of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  Jo'seph,  and  their  inheritance  re- 
mained in  the  tribe  of  the  family  of  their  father. 

13  These  are  the  commandments  and  the  judgments, 
which  the  Lord  commanded  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses,  unto 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  *in  the  plains  of  Mo'ab  by  Jordan  wear 
Jer'icho. 


30  Whoso  killeth  any  person,  the  manslayer  shall  be 
slain  at  the  mouth  of  witnesses :  but  one  witness  shall 

31  not  testify  against  any  person  that  he  die.  Moreover 
ye  shall  take  no  ransom  for  the  life  of  a  manslayer, 
which  is  guilty  of  death :  but  he  shall  surely  be  put 

32  to  death.  And  ye  shall  take  no  ransom  for  him 
that  is  fled  to  his  city  of  refuge,  that  he  should  come 
again  to  dwell  in  the  land,  until   the  death  of  the 

33  priest.  So  ye  shall  not  pollute  the  land  wherein  ye 
are :  for  blood,  it  polluteth  the  land :  and  no  expia- 
tion can  be  made  for  the  land  for  the  blood  that  is 
shed  therein,  but  by   the  blood  of  him  that   shed 

34  it.  And  thou  shalt  not  defile  the.  land  which  ye 
inhabit,  in  the  midst  of  which  I  dwell :  for  I  the 
Lord  dwell  in  the  midst  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

OO  And  the  heads  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  the  family 
of  the  children  of  Gil'e-ad,  the  son  of  Ma'chir,  the  son 
of  Ma-nas'seh,  of  the  families  of  the  sons  of  Jo'seph, 
came  near,  and  spake  before  Mo'ses,  and  before  the 
princes,  the  heads  of  the  fethers'  houses  of  the  chil- 

2  dren  of  Is'ra-el :  and  they  said.  The  Lord  com- 
manded my  lord  to  give  the  land  for  inheritance  by 
lot  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  my  lord  was  com- 
manded by  the  Lord  to  give  the  inheritance  of  Ze- 

3  lo'phe-had  our  brother  unto  his  daughters.  And  if 
they  be  married  to  any  of  the  sons  of  the  other  tribes 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  then  shall  their  inheritance 
be  taken  away  from  the  inheritance  of  our  fathers, 
and  shall  be  added  to  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe 
whereunto  they  shall  belong:    so  shall  it  be  taken 

4  away  from  the  lot  of  our  inheritance.  And  when 
the  jubile  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  be,  then 
shall  their  inheritance  be  added  unto  the  inheritance 
of  the  tribe  whereunto  they  shall  belong :  so  shall 
their  inheritance  be  taken  away  from  the  inheritance 

5  of  the  tribe  of  our  fathers.  And  Mo'ses  commanded 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  The  tribe   of  the   sons  of  Jo'.seph 

6  speaketh  right.  This  is  the  thing  which  the  Lord 
doth  command  concerning  the  daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe- 
had,  saying.  Let  them  marry  to  Avhom  they  think 
best ;  only  to  the  family  of  the  tribe  of  their  father 

7  shall  they  marry.  So  shall  no  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  remove  from  tribe  to  tribe :  for 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  cleave  every' one  to  the 

8  inheritance  of  the  tribe  of  his  fathers.  And  every 
daughter,  that  possesseth  an  inheritance  in  any 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  be  wife  unto  one 
of  the  family  of  the  tribe  of  her  father,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  may  possess  every  man  the  inheritance 

9  of  his  fathers.  So  shall  no  inheritance  remove  from 
one  tribe  to  another  tribe ;  for  the  tribes  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  cleave  every  one  to  his  own 

10  inheritance.     Even  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses, 

11  so  did  the  daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe-had :  for  Mah'lah, 
Tir'zah,  and  Hog'lah,  and  Mil'cah,  and  No'ah,  the 
daughters  of  Ze-lo'phe-had,  were  married  unto  their 

12  father's  brothers'  sons.  They  were  married  into 
the  families  of  the  sons  of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of 
Jo'seph,  and  their  inheritance  remained  in  the  tribe 
of  the  family  of  their  father. 

13  These  are  the  commandments  and  the  judge- 
ments, which  the  Lord  commanded  by  the  hand 
of  Mo'ses  unto  the  children  of  Is'rael  in  the  plains 
of  Mo'ab  by  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i  oho.

THE  FIFTH  BOOK  OF  MOSES, 


CALLED 


DEUTERONOMY. 


CHAF>XER  I. 

Moses*  speech  rehearsing  the  story  of  God's  promise^ 

THESE  be  the  words  which  Mo'ses  spake  unto  all  Is'ra-el 
"on  this  side  Jor'dan  in  the  wilderness,  in  the  plain  over 
against  1|  the  Red  sea,  between  Pa'ran,  and  To'phel,  and 
La'ban,  and  Ha-ze'roth,  and  Diz'a-hab. 

2  {There  are  eleven  days'  journey  from  Ho'reb  by  the  way 
of  mount  Se'ir  'unto  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a.) 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  "in  the  fortieth  year,  in  the  eleventh 
month,  on  the  first  day  of  the  month,  that  Mo'ses  spake 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  according  unto  all  that  the 
Lord  had  given  him  in  commandment  unto  them ; 

4  ''After  he  had  slain  Si'hon  the  king  of  the  Am'o-rites, 
which  dwelt  in  Hesh'bon,  and  Og  the  king  of  Ba'shan, 
which  dwelt  at  As'ta-roth  'in  E'dre-i ; 

5  On  this  side  Jor'dan,  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  began  Mo'ses 
to  declare  this  law,  saying, 

6  The  Lord  our  God  spake  unto  us  •^in  Ho'reb,  saying. 
Ye  have  dwelt  long  "enough  in  this  mount : 

7  Turn  you,  and  take  your  journey,  and  go  to  the  mount 
of  the  Am'o-rites,  and  unto  fall  the  places  nigh  thereunto,  in 
the  plain,  in  the  hills,  and  in  the  vale,  and  in  the  south,  and 
by  the  sea  side,  to  the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  unto 
Leb'a-non,  unto  the  great  river,  the  river  Eu-phra't«s. 

8  Behold,  I  have  fset  the  land  before  you :  go  in  and 
possess  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers, 
"A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  Ja'cob,  to  give  unto  them  and  to 
their  seed  after  them. 

9  ^And  'I  spake  unto  you  at  that  time,  saying,  I  am  not 
able  to  bear  you  myself  alone : 

10  The  Lord  your  God  hath  multiplied  you,  and,  behold, 
ye  are  this  day  as  the  stars  of  heaven  for  multitude. 

11  ('The  Lord  God  of  your  fathers  make  you  a  thousand 
times  so  many  more  as  ye  are,  and  bless  you,  "as  he  hath 
promised  you !) 

12  "How  can  I  myself  alone  bear  your  cumbrance,  and 
your  burden,  and  your  strife  ? 

13  "fTake  you  wise  men,  and  understanding,  and  known 
among  your  tribes,  and  I  will  make  them  rulers  over  you. 

14  And  ye  answered  me,  and  said.  The  thing  which  thou 
hast  spoken  is  good  for  us  to  do. 

15  So  I  took  the  chief  of  your  tribes,  wise  men,  and 
known,  "and  fmade  them  heads  over  you,  captains  over 
thousands,  and  captains  over  hundreds,  and  captains  over 
fifties,  and  captains  over  tens,  and  officers  among  your 
tribes. 

16  And  I  charged  your  judges  at  that  time,  saying.  Hear 
the  causes  between  your  brethren,  and  'judge  righteously 
between  every  man  and  his  ''brother,  and  the  stranger  that 
is  with  him. 

17  'Ye  shall  not  frespect  persons  in  judgment;  but  ye 
shall  hear  the  small  as  well  as  the  great;  ye  shall  .not 
be  afraid  of  the  face  of  man ;  for  'the  judgment  is  God's : 
and  the  cause  that  is  too  hard  for  you,  "bring  it  unto  me, 
and  I  will  hear  it. 

18  And  I  commanded  you  at  that  time  all  the  things 
which  ye  should  do. 

19  ^And  when  we  departed  from  Ho'reb,  'we  went 
through  all  that  great  and  terrible  wilderness,  which  ye  saw 


THE  FIFTH  BOOK  OF  MOSES, 


COMMONLY  CALLED 


DEUTERONOMY. 


4-  These  be  the  words  which  Mo'ses  spake  unto  all 
Is'ra-el  beyond  Jor'dan  in  the  wilderness,  in  the 
'Ar'a-bah  over  against  ^Suph,  between  Pa'ran,  and 
To'phel,  and  La'ban,  and  Ha-ze'roth,  and  Diz'a-hab. 

2  It  is  eleven  days'  journey  from  Ho'reb  by  the  way 

3  of  mount  Se'ir  unto  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a.  And  it  came 
to  pass  in  the  fortieth  year,  ic  the  eleventh  month, 
on  the  first  day  of  the  montn,  that  Mo'ses  spake 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  according  unto  all  that 
the  Lord  had  given  him    in   commandment    unto 

4 them;  after  he  had  smitten  Si'hon  the  king  of  the 
Am'o-rites,  which  dwelt  in  Hesh'bon,  and  Og  the 
king  of  Ba'shan,  which  dwelt  in  Ash'ta-roth,  at  E'dre-i 

5  beyond  Jor'dan,  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  began  Mo'ses 

6  to  declare  this  law,  saying,  The  Lord  our  God 
spake  unto  us  in  Ho'reb,  saying.  Ye  have  dwelt  long 

7  enough  in  this  mountain :  turn  you,  and  take  your 
journey,  and  go  to  the  hill  country  of  the  Am'o-rites, 
and  unto  all  the  places  nigh  thereunto,  in  the  Ar'a- 
bah,  in  the  hill  country,  and  in  the  lowland,  and  in 
the  South,  and  by  the  sea  shore,  the  land  of  the 
Ca'naan-ites,  and  Leb'a-non,  as  far  as  the  great  river, 

8  the  river  Eu-phra'tes.  Behold,  I  have  set  the  land 
before  you :  go  in  and  possess  the  land  which  the 
Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers,  to  A'bra-ham,  to 
I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  to  give  unto  them  and  to  their 

9  seed  after  them.  And  I  spake  unto  you  at  that 
time,  saying,  I  am  not  able   to  bear  you  myself 

10 alone:  the  Lord  your  God  hath  multiplied  you, 
and,  behold,  ye  are  this  day  as  the  stars  of  heaven 

11  for  multitude.  The  Lord,  the  God  of  your  fathers, 
make  you  a  thousand  times  so  many  more  as  ye 

12 are,  and  bless  you,  as  he  hath  promised  you!  How 
can  I  myself  alone  bear  your  cumbrance,  and  your 

13  burden,  and  your  strife  ?  Take  you  wise  men,  and 
understanding,  and  known,  according  to  your  tribes, 

14  and  I  will  make  them  heads  over  you.  And  ye 
answered  me,  and  said.  The  thing  which  thou  hast 

15  spoken  is  good  for  us  to  do.  So  I  took  the  heads 
of  your  tribes,  wise  men,  and  known,  and  made 
them  heads  over  you,  captains  of  thousands,  and 
captains  of  hundred.s,  and  captains  of  fifties,  and 
captains    of  tens,  and    officers,  according   to    your 

16  tribes.  And  I  charged  your  judges  at  that  time, 
saying.  Hear  the  causes  between  your  brethren,  and 
judge   righteously  between  a  man  and  his  brother, 

17  and  the  stranger  that  is  with  him.  Ye  shall  not 
respect  persons  in  judgement;  ye  shall  hear  the 
small  and  the  great  alike;  ye  shall  not  be  afraid  of 
the  face  of  man ;  for  the  judgement  is  God's :  and 
the  cause  that  is   too  hard  for  you  ye  shall  bring 

18  unto  me,  and  I  will  hear  it.  And  I  commanded 
you  at  that  time  all  the  things  which  ye  should  do. 

19  And  we  journeyed  from  Ho'reb,  and  went  through 
all  that  great  and  terrible  wilderness  which  ye  saw.

by  the  way  of  the  mountain  of  the  Am'o-rites,  as  the  Lokd 
our  God  commanded  us  ;  and  "we  came  to  Ka'desh-baiyne-a. 

20  And  I  said  unto  you,  Ye  are  come  unto  the  mountain 
of  the  Am'o-rites, which  the  Loed  our  God  doth  give  unto  us. 

21  Behold,  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  set  the  land  before 
thee  :  go  up  and  possess  it,  as  the  Lord  God  of  thy 
fathers  hath  said  unto  thee ;  'fear  not,  neither  be  dis- 
couraged. 

22  ^And  ye  came  near  unto  me  every  one  of  you,  and 
said,  We  will  send  men  before  us,  and  they  shall  search  us 
out  the  land,  and  bring  us  word  again  by  what  way  we 
must  go  up,  and  into  what  cities  we  shall  come. 

23  And  the  saying  pleased  me  well ;  and  "I  took  twelve 
men  of  you,  one  of  a  tribe  : 

24  And  Hhey  turned  and  went  up  into  the  mountain, 
and  came  unto  the  valley  of  Esh'col,  and  searched  it  out. 

25  And  they  took  of  the  fruit  of  the  land  in  their  hands, 
and  brought  it  down  unto  us,  and  brought  us  word  again, 
and  said,  'It  is  a  good  land  which  the  Lord  our  God  doth 
give  us. 

26  ''Notwithstanding  ye  would  not  go  up,  but  rebelled 
against  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  your  God : 

27  And  ye  murmured  in  your  tents,  and  said.  Because  the 
Lord  'hated  us,  he  hath  brought  us  forth  out  of  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  to  deliver  us  into  the  hand  of  the  Am'o-rites,  to 
destroy  us. 

28  Whither  shall  we  go  up?  our  brethren  have  fdis- 
couraged  our  heart,  saying,  ■'^The  people  is  greater  and 
taller  than  we  ;  the  cities  are  great  and  walled  up  to  heaven ; 
and  moreover  we  have  seen  the  sons  of  the  "An'a-kim  there. 

29  Then  I  said  unto  you.  Dread  not,  neither  be  afraid  of 
them. 

30  'The  Lord  your  God  which  goeth  before  you,  he  shall 
fight  for  you,  according  to  all  that  he  did  for  you  in  E'gypt 
before  your  eyes ; 

31  And  in  the  wilderness,  where  thou  hast  seen  how  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  'bare  thee,  as  a  man  doth  bear  his  son, 
in  all  the  way  that  ye  went,  until  ye  came  into  this  place. 

32  Yet  in  this  thing  *ye  did  not  believe  the  Lord  your 
God, 

33  Who  went  'in  the  way  before  you,  "to  search  you  out 
a  place  to  pitch  your  tents  in,  in  fire  by  night,  to  shew  you 
by  what  way  ye  should  go,  and  in  a  cloud  by  day. 

34  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice  of  your  words,  and  was 
wroth,  "and  sware,  saying, 

35  "Surely  there  shall  not  one  of  these  men  of  this  evil 
generation  see  that  good  land,  which  I  sware  to  give  unto 
your  fathers, 

36  ''Save  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh ;  he  shall  see  it,  and 
to  him  will  I  give  the  land  that  he  hath  trodden  upon,  and 
to  his  children,  because  «he  hath  fwholly  followed  the 
Lord. 

37  'Also  the  Lord  was  angry  with  me,  for  your  sakes, 
saying,  Thou  also  shalt  not  go  in  thither. 

38  'But  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  'which  standeth  before 
thee,  he  shall  go  in  thither :  "encourage  him :  for  he  shall 
cause  Is'ra-el  to  inherit  it. 

39  ""Moreover  your  little  ones,  which  "ye  said  should  be  a 
prey,  and  your  children,  which  in  that  day  'had  no  knowl- 
edge between  good  and  evil,  they  shall  go  in  thither,  and 
unto  them  will  I  give  it,  and  they  shall  possess  it. 

40  "But  as  for  you,  turn  you,  and  take  your  journey  into 
the  wilderness  by  the  way  of  the  Red  sea. 

41  Then  ye  answered  and  said  unto  me,  ''We  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord,  we  will  go  up  and  fight,  according  to  all 
that  the  Lord  our  God  commanded  us.  And  when  ye  had 
girded  on  every  man  his  weapons  of  war,  ye  were  ready  to 
go  up  into  the  hill. 

42  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Say  unto  them,  'Go  not  up, 


by  the  way  to  the  hill  country  of  the  Am'o-rites,  as 
the  Lord  our  God   commanded  us ;  and  we  came 

20  to  Ka'desh-bar'nea.  And  I  said  unto  you.  Ye  are 
come  unto  the  hill  country  of  the  Am'o-rites,  which 

21  the  Lord  our  God  giveth  unto  us.  Behold,  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  set  the  land  before  thee:  go 
up,  take  possession,  as  the  Lord,  the  God  of  thy 
fathers,  hath  spoken  unto  thee  ;  fear  not,  neither  be 

22  dismayed.  And  ye  came  near  unto  me  every  one 
of  you,  and  said.  Let  us  send  men  before  us,  that 
they  may  search  the  land  for  us,  and  bring  us  word 
again  of  the  way  by  which  we  must  go  up,  and  the 

23  cities  unto  which  we  shall  come.  And  the  thing 
pleased  me  well:  and  I   took  twelve  men  of  you 

24  one  man  for  every  tribe :  and  they  turned  and  went 
up  into  the  mountain,  and  came  unto  the  valley  of 

25  Esh'col,  and  spied  it  out.  And  they  took  of  the 
fruit  of  the  land  in  their  hands,  and  brought  it  down 
unto  us,  and  brought  us  word  again,  and  said.  It  is 
a  good  land  which  the  Lord  our  God  giveth  unto 

26  us.     Yet  ye  would  not  go  up,  but  rebelled  against 

27  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  your  God :  and  ye 
murmured  in  your  tents,  and  said,  Because  the 
Lord  hated  us,  he  hath  brought  us  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  to  deliver  us  into  the  hand  of  the 

28  Am'o-rites,  to  destroy  us.  Whither  are  we  going 
up  ?  our  brethren  have  made  our  heart  to  melt, 
saying.  The  people  is  greater  and  taller  than  we ; 
the  cities  are  great  and  fenced  up  to  heaven ;  and 
moreover  we  have  seen   the  sons  of  the   An'a-kim 

29  there.     Then  I  said  unto   you.  Dread   not,  neither 

30  be  afraid  of  them.  The  Lord  your  God  who  goeth 
before  you,   he  shall  fight  for  you,  according  to  all 

31  that  he  did  for  you  in  E'gypt  before  your  eyes  ;  and 
in  the  wilderness,  where  thou  hast  seen  how  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  bare  thee,  as  a  man  doth  bare 
his  son,  in  all  the  way  that  ye  went,  until  ye  came 

32  unto  this  place.     Yet  'in  this  thing  ye  did  not  be- 

33  lieve  the  Lord  your  God,  who  went  before  you  in 
the  way,  to  seek  you  out  a  place  to  pitch  your  tents 
in,  in  fire  by  night,  to  shew  you    by   what   way  ye 

34  should  go,  and  in  the  cloud  by  day.  And  the  Lord 
heard  the  voice  of  your  words,  and  was  wroth,  and 

35  sware,  saying,  Surely  there  shall  not  one  of  these 
men  of  this  evil  generation  see  the  good  land,  which 

361  sware  to  give  unto  your  fathers,  save  Ca'leb  the 
son  of  Je-phun'neh,  he  shall  see  it ;  and  to  him  will  I 
give  the  land  that  he  hath  trodden  upon,  and  to  his 
children :    because    he    hath    wholly   followed    the 

37  Lord.  Also  the  Lord  was  angry  with  me  for  your 
sakes,  saying.  Thou  also  shalt  not  go   in  thither : 

38  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  which  standeth  before  thee,

39  shall  cause  Is'ra-el  to  inherit  it.  Moreover  your  little 
ones,  which  ye  said  should  be  a  prey,  and  your 
children,  which  this  day  have  no  knowledge  of  good 
or  evil,  they  shall  go  in  thither,  and  unto  them  will 

40 1  give  it,  and  they  shall  possess  it.  But  as  for  you, 
turn  you,  and  take  your  journey  into  the  wilderness 

41  by  the  way  to  the  Red  Sea.  Then  ye  answered 
and  said  unto  me,  We  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord,  we  will  go  up  and  fight,  according  to  all 
that  the  Lord  our  God  commanded  us.  And  ye 
girded  on  every  man  his  weapons  of  war,  and.^were 

42  forward  to  go  up  into  the  mountain.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  me,  Say  unto  them,   Go  not  up,

neither  fight ;  for  I  am  not  among  you ;  lest  ye  be  smitten 
before  your  enemies. 

43  So  I  spake  unto  you ;  and  ye  wouiixi  not  hear,  but  re- 
belled against  the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  and  fwent 
presumptuously  up  into  the  hill. 

44  And  the  Am'o-rites,  which  dwelt  in  that  mountain,  came 
out  against  you,  and  chased  you,  *as  bees  do,  and  destroyed 
you  in  Se'ir,  even  unto  Hor'mah. 

45  And  ye  returned  and  wept  before  the  Lord;  but  the  Lord 
would  not  hearken  to  your  voice,  nor  give  ear  unto  you. 

46  •'^So  ye  abode  in  Ka'desh  many  days,  according  unto 
the  days  that  ye  abode  there. 

CHAPTER   II. 

The  children  of  Israel  not  to  meddle  with  the  Edbmiies^  Moabites,  etc. 

THEN  we  turned,  and  took  our  journey  into  the  wilder- 
ness by  the  way  of  the  Red  sea,  "as  the   Lord  spake 
unto  me :  and  we  compassed  mount  Se'ir  many  days. 

2  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  me,  saying, 

3  Ye  have  compassed  this  mountain  ""long  enough :  turn 
you  northward. 

4  And  command  thou  the  people,  saying,  "Ye  are  to  pass 
through  the  coast  of  your  brethren  the  children  of  E'sau, 
which  dwell  in  Se'ir ;  and  they  shall  be  afraid  of  you :  take 
ye  good  heed  unto  yourselves  therefore  : 

5  Meddle  not  with  them ;  for  I  will  not  give  you  of  their 
land,  fnOj  not  so  much  as  a  footbreadth  ;  ''because  I  have 
given  mount  Se'ir  unto  E'sau /o>"  a  possession. 

6  Ye  shall  buy  meat  of  them  for  money,  that  ye  may  eat ; 
and  ye  shall  also  buy  water  of  them  for  money,  that  ye 
may  drink. 

7  For  the  Lord  thy  Grod  hath  blessed  thee  in  all  the  works 
of  thy  hand :  he  knoweth  thy  walking  through  this  great 
wilderness :  "these  forty  years  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  been 
with  thee;  thou  hast  lacked  nothing. 

8  -'And  when  we  passed  by  from  our  brethren  the  children 
of  E'sau,  which  dwelt  in  Se'ir,  through  the  way  of  the  plain 
from  "E'lath,  and  from  E'zi-on-ga'ber,  we  turned  and  passed 
by  the  way  of  the  wilderness  of  Mo'ab. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  1 1  Distress  not  the  Mo'ab-ites, 
neither  contend  with  them  in  battle :  for  I  will  not  give  thee 
of  their  land  for  a  possession ;  because  I  have  given  *Ar 
unto  'the  children  of  Lot /or  a  possession. 

10  *The  E'mim  dwelt  therein  in  times  past,  a  people 
great,  and  many,  and  tall,  as  4;he  An'a-kim  ; 

11  Which  also  were  accounted  giants,  as  the  An'a-kim ;  but 
the  Mo'ab-ites  called  them  E'mim. 

12  "The  Ho'rim  also  dwelt  in  Se'ir  beforetime;  but  the 
children  of  E'sau  fsucceeded  them,  when  they  had  de- 
stroyed them  from  before  them,  and  dwelt  in  their  ||  stead ;  as 
Is'ra-el  did  unto  the  land  of  his  possession,  which  the  Lord 
gave  unto  them. 

13  Now  rise  up,  said  I,  and  get  you  over  "the  ||  brook 
Ze'red.     And  we  went  over  the  brook  Ze'red. 

14  And  the  space  in  which  we  came  "from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a, 
until  we  were  come  over  the  brook  Ze'red,  was  thirty  and  eight 
years;  ''until  all  the  generation  of  the  men  of  war  were  wa.sted 
out  from  among  the  host,  'as  the  Lord  sware  unto  them. 

15  For  indeed  the  ""hand  of  the  Lord  was  against  them,  to 
destroy  them  from  among  the  host,  until  they  were  consumed. 

16  ^So  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  men  of  war  were 
consumed  and  dead  from  among  the  people, 

17  That  the  Lord  spake  unto  me,  saying, 

18  Thou  art  to  pass  over  through  Ar,  the  coast  of  Mo'ab, 
this  day : 

19  And  when  thou  comest  nigh  over  against  the  children 
of  Am'mon,  distress  them  not,  nor  meddle  with  them  :  for  I 
will  not  give  thee  of  the  land  of  the  children  of  Am'mon 
any  possession  ;  because  I  have  given  it  unto  'the  children 
of  Lot/or  a  possession. 


neither  fight ;  for  I  am  not  among  you ;  lest  ye  be 
43  smitten  before  your  enemies.  So  I  spake  unto  you, 
and  ye  hearkened  not ;  but  ye  rebelled  against  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord,  and  were  presumptuous, 
44 and  went  up  into  the  mountain.  And  the  Am'o-rites, 
which  dwelt  in  that  mountain,  came  out  against 
you,  and  chased  you,  as  bees  do,  and  beat  you  down 

45  in  Se'ir,  even  unto  Hor'mah.  And  ye  returned  and 
wept  before  the  Lord  ;  but  the  Lord  hearkened  not 

46  to  your  voice,  nor  gave  ear  unto  you.  So  ye  abode 
in  Ka'desh  many  days,  according  unto  the  days  that 
ye  abode  there. 

^     Then  we  turned,  and  took  our  journey  into  the  wil- 
derness by  the  way  to  the  Red  Sea,  as  the  Lord  spake 
unto  me :  and  we  compassed  mount  Se'ir  many  days. 
I  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  me,  saying.  Ye  have  com- 
passed this  mountain  long  enough :  turn  you  north- 

4  ward.  And  command  thou  the  people,  saying.  Ye 
are  to  pass  through  the  border  of  your  brethren  the 
children  of  E'sau,  which  dwell  in  Se'ir ;  and  they 
shall  be  afraid  of  you :    take  ye  good   heed   unto 

5  yourselves  therefore  :  contend  not  with  them  ;  for 
I  will  not  give  you  of  their  land,  no,  not  so  much  as 
for  the  sole  of  the  feet  to  tread  on :  because  I  have 

6  given  mount  Se'ir  unto  E'sau  for  a  possession.  Ye 
shall  purchase  food  of  them  for  money,  that  ye  may 
eat ;  and  ye  shall  also  buy  water  of  them  for  money, 

7  that  ye  may  drink.  For  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
blessed  thee  in  all  the  work  of  thy  hand :  he  hath 
known  thy  walking  through  this  great  wilderness : 
these  forty  years  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  been  with 

8  thee  ;  thou  hast  lacked  nothing.  So  we  passed  by 
from  our  brethren  the  children  of  E'sau,  which  dwell 
in  Se'ir,  from  the  way  of  the  Ar'a-bah  from  E'lath  and 
from  E'zion-ge'ber. 

And  we  turned  and  passed  by  the  way  of  the  wil- 
9derness  of  Mo'ab.     And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Vex  not  Mo'ab,  neither  contend  with  them  in  battle : 
for  I  will  not  give  thee  of  his  land  for  a  possession ; 
because  I  have  given  Ar  unto  the  children  of   Lot 
10  for  a  possession.     (The  E'mim  dwelt  therein  afore- 
time, a  people  great,  and  many,  and  tall,  as  the  An'a- 
llkim:    these   also    are  accounted  'Reph'a-im,  as  the 

12  An'a-kim;  but  the  Mo'ab-ites  call  them  E'mim.  The 
Ho'rites  also  dwelt  in  Se'ir  aforetime,  but  the  chil 
dren  of  E'sau  succeeded  them  ;  and  they  destroyed 
them  from  before  them,  and  dwelt   in   their   stead; 
as  Is'ra-el  did  unto  the  land  of  his  possession,  which 

13  the  Lord  gave  unto  them.)  Now  rise  up,  and  get 
you  over  the  brook  Ze'red.     And  we  went  over  the 

14  brook  Ze'red.  And  the  days  in  which  we  came 
from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a,  until  we  were  come  over  the 
brook  Ze'red,  were  thirty  and  eight  years  ;  until  all 
the  generation  of  the  men  of  war  were  consumed 
from  the  midst  of  the  camp,  as  the  Lord  sware  unto 

15  them.  Moreover  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  against 
them,  to  destroy  them  from  the  midst  of  the  camp, 
until  they  were  consumed. 

16  So  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  men  of  war  were 

17  consumed   and  dead   from  among   the   people,  that 

18  the  Lord  spake  unto  me,  saying.  Thou  art  this  day 
19 to  pass  over  Ar,  the  border   of  Mo'ab:    and  when 

thou  comest  nigh  over  against  the  children  of 
Am'mon,  vex  them  not,  nor  contend  with  them: 
for  I  will  not  give  thee  of  the  land  of  the.  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  for  a  possession:  because  I  have 
given  it  unto  the  children  of  Lot  for  a  possession.

20  (That  also  was  accounted  a  land  of  giants :  giants 
dwelt  therein  in  old  time ;  and  the  Am'mon-ites  call  them 
'Zam-zum'mim ; 

21  "A  people  great,  and  many,  and  tall,  as  the  An'a-kim  ;

30  'But  Si'hon  king  of  Hesh'bon  would  not  let  us  pass  by 
him  :  for  *the  Lord  thy  God  'hardened  his  spirit,  and  made 
his  heart  obstinate,  that  he  might  deliver  him  into  thy 
hand,  as  appeareth  this  day. 

31  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Behold,  I  have  begun  to 
"give  Si'hon  and  his  land  before  thee  :  begin  to  possess,  that 
thou  mayest  inherit  his  land. 

32  "Then  Si'hon  came  out  against  us,  he  and  all  his  people,

Moses'  prayer  to  enter  into  the  land — He  is  permitted-  to  see  it. 

THEN  we  turned,  and  went  up  the  way  to  Ba'shan :  and 
°Og  the  king  of  Ba'shan  came  out  against  us,  he  and  all 
his  people,  to  battle  'at  Ed're-i. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Fear  him  not :  for  I  will 
deliver  him,  and  all  his  people,  and  his  land,  into  thy  hand; 
and  thou  shalt  do  unto  him  as  thou  didst  unto  ''Si'hon  king 
of  the  Am'o-rites,  which  dwelt  at  Hesh'bon. 

3  So  the  Lord  our  God  delivered  into  our  hands  Og  also, 
the  king  of  Ba'shan,  and  all  his  people:  ''and  we  smote  him 
until  none  was  left  to  him  remaining. 

4  And  we  took  all  his  cities  at  that  time,  there  was  not  a 
city  which  we  took  not  from  them,  threescore  cities,  'all  the 
region  of  Ar'gob,  the  kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba'shan. 


20  (That  also  is  accounted  a  land  of  Reph'a-Hn  r  Reph'a-im 
dwelt  therein  aforetime ;  but  the  Am'mon-ites  call 

21  them  2iam-zum'mim  ;  a  people  great,  and  many,  and 
tall,  as  the  An'a-kim ;  but  the  Lord  destroyed  them 
before  them ;  and  they  succeeded  them,  and  dwelt  in 

22  their  stead  :  as  he  did  for  the  children  of  E'sau,  which 
dwell  in  Se'ir,  when  he  destroyed  the  Ho'rites  from 
before  them ;  and  they  succeeded  them,  and  dwelt  in 

23their  stead  even  unto  this  day :  and  the  AVvim 
which  dwelt  in  villages  as  far  as  Gaza,  the  Caph'tor-im, 
which  came  forth  oirt  of  Caph'tor,  destroyed  them, 

24  and  dwelt  in  their  stead.)  Rise  ye  up,  take  your 
journey,  and  pass  over  the  valley  of  Ar'non  :  behold, 
I  have  given  into  thine  hand  Si'hon  the  Am'o-rite, 
king  of  Hesh'bon,  and  his  land :  begin  to  possess  it, 

25  and  contend  with  him  in  battle.  This  day  will  I 
begin  to  put  the  dread  of  thee  and  the  fear  of  thee 
upon  the  peoples  that  are  under  the  whole  heaven, 
who  shall:  hear  the  report  of  thee,  and  shall  tremble, 
and  be  in  anguish  because  of  thee. 

26  And  I  sent  messengers  out  of  the  wilderness  of 
Ked'e-moth  unto  Si'hon  king  of  Hesh'bon  with  words 

27  of  peace,  saying,  Let  me  pass  through  thy  land :  I 
will  go  'along  by  the  high  way,  I  will  neither  turn 

28  unto  the  right  hand  nor  to  the  left.  Thou  shalt 
sell  me  food  for  money,  that  I  may  eat;  and  give 
me  water  for  money,  that  I  may  drink :  only  let  me 

29  pass  through  on  my  feet ;  as  the  children  of  E'sau 
which  dwell  in  Se'ir,  and  the  Mo'ab-ites  which  dwell 
in  Ar,  did  unto  me ;  until  I  shall  pass  over  Jor'dan 
into  the  land  which  the  Lord  our  God  giveth   us. 

30  But  Si'hon  king  of  Hesh'bon  would  not  let  us  pa,ss 
by  him :  for  the  Lord  thy  God  hardened  his  spirit, 
and  made  his  heart  ^obstinate,  that  he  might  deliver 

31  him  into  thy  hand,  as  at  this  day.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  Behold,  I  have  begun  to  deliver  up 
Si'hon   and  his  land  before  thee  :  begin  to  possess, 

32  that  thou  mayest  inherit  his  land.  Then  Si'hon 
came  out  against  us,  he  and  all    his    people,    unto 

33  battle  at  Ja'haz.  And  the  Lord  our  God  delivered 
him  up  before  us ;  and  we  smote  him,  and  his  ^sons, 

34  and  all  his  people.  And  we  took  all  his  cities  at 
that  time,  and  ^utterly  destroyed  every  'inhabited 
city,  with  the  women  and  the  little  ones ;  we   left 

35 none  remaining:  only  the  cattle  we  took  for  a  prey 
unto  ourselves,  with  the  spoil  of  the  cities  which  we 

36  had  taken.  From  Ar'o-er,  which  is  on  the  edge  of 
the  valley  of  Ar'non,  and  jrom  the  city  that  is  in  the 
valley,  even  unto  Gil'e-ad,  there  was  not  a  city  too 
high  for  us  :  the  Lord  our  God  delivered  up  all  be- 

37  fore  us  :  only  to  the  land  of  the  children  of  Am'mon 
thou  earnest  not  near  ;  all  the  side  of  the  river  Jab'- 
bok, and  the  cities  of  the  hill  country,  and  whereso- 
ever the  Lord  our  God  forbad  us. 

V  Then  we  turned,  and  went  up  the  way  to  Ba'shan : 
and  Og  the  king  of   Ba'shan  came  out  against  us, 

2  he  and  all  his  people,  unto  battle  at  Ed're^i.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Fear  him  not  :  for  I  have 
delivered  him,  and  all  his  people,  and  his  land, 
into  thy  hand ;  and  thou  shalt  do  unto  him  as 
thou  didst  unto  Si'hon  king  of  the  Am'o-rites,  which 

3  dwelt  at  Hesh'boa.  So  t!he  Lord  our  God'  deliv- 
ered into  our  hand  Og  also,  the  king  of  Ba'shan 
and  all  his  people:  and  we  smote  him    until    none 

4  was  left  to  him  remaining.  And  we  took  all  bis 
cities  at  that  time ;  there  was  not  a  city  which 
we  took  not  from  them;  threescore  cities,  all  the 
regioa  of  Ar'gob,  the  kingdom  of  Og  in-  Ba/shas'.

5  All  these  cities  were  fenced  with  high  walls,  gates,  and 
bars;  besides  unwalled  towns  a  great  many. 

6  And  we  utterly  destroyed  them,  as  we  did  unto  Si'hon 
king  ■''of  Hesh'bon,  utterly  destroying  the  men,  women,  and 
children,  of  every  city. 

7  But  all  the  cattle,  and  the  spoil  of  the  cities,  we  took 
for  a  prey  to  ourselves. 

8  And  we  took  at  that  time  out  of  the  hand  of  the  two 
kings  of  the  Am'o-rites  the  land  that  was  on  this  side  Jor'- 
dan,  from  the  river  of  Ar'non  unto  mount  Her'mon ; 

9  ( Which  "Her'mon  the  Si-do'ni-ans  call  Sir'i-on ;  and  the 
Am'o-rites  call  it  ''She'nir ;) 

10  All  the  cities  of  the  plain,  and  all  Gil'e-ad,  and  *all 
Ba'shan,  unto  Sal'chah  and  Ed're-i,  cities  of  the  kingdom  of 
Og  in  Ba'shan. 

11  'For  only  Og  king  of  Ba'shan  remained  of  the  remnant 
of  "giants ;  behold,  his  bedstead  was  a  bedstead  of  iron ;  is 
it  not  in  "Rab'bath  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  ?  nine  cubits 
was  the  length  thereof,  and  four  cubits  the  breadth  of  it, 
after  the  cubit  of  a  man. 

12  And  this  land,  whieh  we  possessed  at  that  time,  "from 
Ar'o-er,  which  is  by  the  river  Ar'non,  and  half  mount  Gil'- 
e-ad, and  ''the  cities  thereof,  gave  I  unto  the  Reu'ben-ites 
and  to  the  Grad'ites. 

13  "And  the  rest  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  all  Ba'shan,  being  the 
kingdom  of  Og,  gave  I  unto  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh ; 
all  the  region  of  Ar'gob,  with  all  Ba'shan,  which  was  called 
the  land  of  giants. 

14  ""Ja'ir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh  took  all  the  country  of  Ar'gob 
'unto  the  coasts  of  Gesh'u-ri  and  Ma-ach'a-thi ;  and  'called 
them  after  his  own  name,  Ba'shan-ha'voth-ja'ir,  unto  this  day. 

15  "And  I  gave  Gil'e-ad  unto  Ma'chir. 

16  And  unto  the  Reu'ben-ites  ""and  unto  the  Gad'ites  I 
gave  from  Gil'e-ad  even  unto  the  river  Ar'non  half  the 
valley,  and  the  border  even  unto  the  river  Jab'bok,  'which 
is  the  border  of  the  children  of  Am'mon ; 

17  The  plain  also,  and  Jor'dan,  and  the  coast  thereof,  from 
"Chin'ne-reth  "'even  unto  the  sea  of  the  plain,  "even  the  salt 
sea,  II  under  Ash'doth-pis'gah  eastward. 

18  ^And  I  commanded  you  at  that  time,  saying.  The 
Lord  your  God  hath  given  you  this  land  to  possess  it :  'ye 
shall  pass  over  armed  before  your  brethren  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  all  that  are  fmeet  for  the  war. 

19  But  your  wives,  and  your  little  ones,  and  your  cattle, 
(for  I  know  that  ye  have  much  cattle,)  shall  abide  in  your 
cities  which  I  have  given  you ; 

20  Until  the  Lord  have  given  rest  unto  your  brethren,  as 
well  as  unto  you,  and  until  they  also  possess  the  land  which 
the  Lord  your  God  hath  given  them  beyond  Jor'dan :  and 
then  shall  ye  "return  every  man  unto  his  possession,  which 
I  have  given  you. 

21  ^And  ^1  commanded  Josh'u-a  at  that  time,  saying. 
Thine  eyes  have  seen  all  that  the  Lord  your  God  hath 
done  unto  these  two  kings:  so  shall  the  Lord  do  unto  all 
the  kingdoms  whither  thou  passest. 

22  Ye  shall  not  fear  them:  for  'the  Lord  your  God  he 
shall  fight  for  you. 

23  And-'^I  besought  the  Lord  at  that  time,  saying, 

24  O  Lord  God,  thou  hast  begun  to  shew  thy  servant 
"thy  greatness,  and  thy  mighty  hand :  for  ''what  God  is  there 
in  heaven  or  in  earth,  that  can  do  according  to  thy  works, 
and  according  to  thy  might? 

25  I  pray  thee,  let  me  go  over,  and  see  'the  good  land  that 
is  beyond  Jor'dan,  that  goodly  mountain,  and  Leb'a-non. 

26  But  the  Lord  *was  wroth  with  me  for  your  sakes,  and 
would  not  hear  me:  and  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Let  it 
suflBce  thee ;  speak  no  more  unto  me  of  this  matter. 

27  'Get  thee  up  into  the  top  of  ||  Pis'gah,  and  lift  up  thine 
eyes  westward,  and  northward,  and  southward,  and  eastward. 


5  All  these  were  cities  fenced  with  high  walls,  gates, 
and  bars;  beside  the  'unwalled  towns  a  great  many. 

6  And  we  ^utterly  destroyed  them,  as  we  did  unto  Si'- 
hon, king  of  Hesh'bon,  utterly  destroying  every  ^in- 

7  habited  city,  with  the  women  and  the  little  ones.  But 
all  the  cattle,  and  the  spoil  of  the  cities,  we  took  for  a 

8  prey  unto  ourselves.  And  we  took  the  land  at  that 
time  out  of  the  hand  of  the  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites 
that  were  beyond  Jor'dan,  from  the  valley  of  Ar'non 

9  unto  mount  Her'mon;  {which  Her'mon  the  Si'do-ni-ans 

10  call  Sir'i-on,  and  the  Am'o-rites  call  it  Se'nir ;)  all  the 
cities  of  the  *plain,  and  all  Gil'e-ad,  and  all  Ba'shan,  un- 
to Sal'e-cah  and  Ed're-i,  cities  of  the  kingdom  of  Og  in 

11  Ba'shan.  (For  only  Og  king  of  Ba'shan  remained  of 
the  remnant  of  the  Eeph'a-im ;  behold,  his  bedstead 
was  a  bedstead  of  iron ;  is  it  not  in  Rab'bah  ->f  the 
children  of  Am'mon?  nine  cubits  was  t'_j  length 
thereoij  and  four  cubits  the  breadth  of  it,  after  the 

12  cubit  of  a  man.)  And  this  land  we  took  in  posses- 
sion at  that  time :  from  Ar'o-er,  which  is  by  the 
valley  of  Ar'non,  and  half  the  hill  country  of  Gil'e-ad, 
and  the  cities  thereof,  gave  I  unto  the  Reu'ben-ites 

13  and  to  the  Gad'ites:  and  the  rest  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  all 
Ba'shan,  the  kingdom  of  Og,  gave  I  unto  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh ;  'all  the  region  of  Ar'gob,  'even 
all  Ba'shan.     (The  same  is  called  the  land  of  Reph'- 

14  a-im.  Ja'ir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh  took  all  the  re- 
gion of  Ar'gob,  unto  the  border  of  the  Gesh'u-rites 
and  the  Ma-ac'a-thites ;  and  called  them  even  Ba'shan, 
'after  his  own  name,  Hav'voth-ja'ir,  unto  this  day.) 

}|And  I  gave  Gil'e-ad  unto  Ma'chir.     And  unto  the 
Reu'ben-ites  and  unto  the  Gad'ites  I  gave  from  Gil' 
e-ad  even  unto  the  valley  of  Ar'non,  the  middle  of 
the  valley,  *and  the  border  thereof;   even  unto  the 
river  Jab'bok,  which  is  the  border  of  the  children 

17  of  Am'mon  ;  the  Ar'a-bah  also,  and  Jor'dan  *and  the 
border  thereof,  from  Chin'ner-eth  even  unto  the  sea 
of  the  Ar'a-bah,  the  Salt  Sea,  under  the  'slopes  of 
Pis'gah  eastward. 

18  And  I  commanded  you  at  that  time,  saying.  The 
Lord  your  God  hath  given  you  this  laud  to  possess 
it:  ye  shall  pass  over  armed  before  your  brethren 
the    children    of  Is'ra-el,   all    the    men    of   valour. 

19  But  your  wives,  and  your  little  ones,  and  your 
cattle,  (I  know  that  ye  have  much  cattle,)  shall  abide 

20  in  your  cities  which  I  have  given  you ;  until  the 
Lord  give  rest  unto  your  brethren,  as  unto  you, 
and  they  also  possess  the  land  which  the  Lord 
your  God  giveth  them  beyond  Jor'dan :  then  shall 
ye  return  every  man  unto  his  possession,  which  I 

21  have  given  you.  And  I  commanded  Josh'u-a  at  that 
time,  saying.  Thine  eyes  have  seen  all  that  the  Lord 
your  God  hath  done  unto  these  two  kings :  so  shall 
the  Lord  do  unto  all  the  kingdoms  whither  thou 

22goest  over.  Ye  shall  not  fear  them:  for  the  Lord 
your  God,  he  it  is  that  fighteth  for  you. 
§  And  I  besought  the  Lord  at  that  time,  saying,  O 
Lord  God,  thou  hast  begun  to  shew  thy  servant  thy 
greatness,  and  thy  strong  hand:  for  what  god  is 
there  in  heaven  or  in  earth,  that  can  do  according 
to  thy  works,  and  according  to  thy  mighty  acts? 

25  Let  me  go  over,  I  pray  thee,  and  see  the  good  land 
that  is  beyond  Jor  dan,  that  goodly  mountain,  and 

26  Leb'a-non.  But  the  Lord  was  wroth  with  me  for 
your  sakes,  and  hearkened  not  unto  me :  and  the 
Lord  said  unto  me.  Let  it  suffice  thee;    speak  no 

27  more  unto  me  of  this  matter.  Get  thee  up  into 
the  top  of  Pis'gah,  and  lift  up  thine  eyes  west- 
ward, and  northward,  and  southward,  and  eastward,

and  behold  it  with  thine  eyes:  for  thou  shalt  not  go  over 
this  Jor'dan. 

28  But  '"charge  Josh'u-a,  and  encourage  him,  and  strengthen 
him:  for  he  shall  go  over  before  this  people,  and  he  shall 
cause  them  to  inherit  the  land  which  thou  shalt  see. 

29  So  we  abode  in  "the  valley  over  against  Beth-pe'or. 

CHARTER  IV. 

Moses  appointeth  the  three  citits  of  refuge  on  that  side  Jordan. 

"VrOW  therefore  hearken,  O  Is'ra-el,  unto  "the  statutes  and 
-Ll  unto  the  judgments,  which  I  teach  you,  for  to  do  them, 
that  ye  may  live,  and  go  in  and  possess  the  land  which  the 
Lord  God  of  your  fethers  giveth  you. 

2  'Ye  shall  not  add  unto  the  word  which  I  command  you, 
neither  shall  ye  diminish  aught  from  it,  that  ye  may  keep 
the  commandments  of  the  Lord  your  God  which  I  com- 
mand you. 

3  Your  eyes  have  seen  what  the  Lord  did  because  of 
■^Ba'al-pe'or :  for  all  the  men  that  followed  Ba'al-pe'or,  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  destroyed  them  from  among  you. 

4  But  ye  that  did  cleave  unto  the  Lord  your  God  are 
alive  every  one  of  you  this  day. 

5  Behold,  I  have  taught  you  statutes  and  judgments,  even 
as  the  Lord  my  God  commanded  me,  that  ye  should  do  so 
in  the  laud  whither  ye  go  to  possess  it. 

6  Keep  therefore  and  do  them;  for  this  is  ''your  wisdom 
and  your  understanding  in  the  sight  of  the  nations,  which 
shall  hear  all  these  statutes,  and  say.  Surely  this  great 
nation  is  a  wise  and  understanding  people. 

7  For  *what  nation  is  there  so  great,  who  hath  -^God  so  nigh 
unto  them,  as  the  Lord  our  God  is  in  all  things  that  we  call 
upon  him  for  f 

8  And  what  nation  is  there  so  great,  that  hath  statutes  and 
judgments  so  righteous  as  all  this  law,  which  I  set  before 
you  this  day? 

9  Only  take  heed  to  thyself,  and  "keep  thy  soul  diligently, 
*lest  thou  forget  the  things  which  thine  eyes  have  seen,  and 
lest  they  depart  from  thy  heart  all  the  days  of  thy  life :  but 
'teach  them  thy  sons,  and  thy  sons'  sons : 

10  Specially  *the  day  that  thou  stoodest  before  the  Lord 
thy  God  in  Ho'reb,  when  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Gather  me 
the  people  together,  and  I  will  make  them  hear  my  words, 
that  they  may  learn  to  fear  me  all  the  days  that  they  shall 
live  upon  the  earth,  and  that  they  may  teach  their  children. 

11  And  ye  came  near  and  stood  under  the  mountain;  and 
the  'mountain  burned  with  fire  unto  the  fmidst  of  heaven, 
with  darkness,  clouds,  and  thick  darkness. 

12  "And  the  Lord  spake  unto  you  out  of  the  midst  of  the 
fire :  "ye  heard  the  voice  of  the  words,  but  saw  no  simili- 
tude ;  "fonly  ye  heard  a  voice. 

13  ''And  he  declared  unto  you  his  covenant,  which  he 
commanded  you  to  perform,  even  "ten  commandments;  and 
•"he  wrote  them  upon  two  tables  of  stone. 

14  ^And  'the  Lord  commanded  me  at  that  time  to  teach 
you  statutes  and  judgments,  that  ye  might  do  them  in  the 
land  whither  ye  go  over  to  possess  it. 

15  'Take  ye  therefore  good  heed  unto  yourselves;  for  ye 
saw  no  manner  of  "similitude  on  the  day  that  the  Lord 
spake  unto  you  in  Ho'reb  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire  ; 

16  Lest  ye  ""corrupt  yourselves,  and  "make  you  a  graven 
image,  the  similitude  of  any  figure,  the  likeness  of  male  or 
female, 

17  The  likeness  of  any  beast  that  is  on  the  earth,  the  like- 
ness of  any  winged  fowl  that  flieth  in  the  air, 

18  The  likeness  of  any  thing  that  creepeth  on  the 
ground,  the  likeness  of  any  fish  that  is  in  the  waters  be- 
neath the  earth: 

19  And  lest  thou  "lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  heaven,  and  when 
thou  seest  the  sun,  and  the  moon,  and  the  stars,  even  ''all  the 
host  of  heaven,  sbouldest  be  driven  to  "worship  them,  and 


and  behold  with  thine  eyes :  for  thou  shalt  not  go 

28  over  this  Jor'dan.  But  charge  Josh'u-a,  and  encour- 
age him,  and  strengthen  him :  for  he  shall  go  over 
before  this  people,  and  he  shall  cause  them  to   in- 

29  herit  the  land  which  thou  shalt  see.  So  we  abode 
in  the  valley  over  against  Beth-pe'or. 

^  And  now,  O  Is'ra-el,  hearken  unto  the  statutes 
and  unto  the  judgements,  which  I  teach  you,  for  to 
do  them;  that  ye  may  live,  and  go  in  and  possess 
the  land  which  the  Lord,  the  God  of  your  fathers, 

2  giveth  you.  Ye  shall  not  add  unto  the  word  which 
I  command  you,  neither  shall  ye  diminish  from  it, 
that  ye  may  keep  the  commandments  of  the  Lord 

3  your  God  which  I  command  you.  Your  eyes  have 
seen  what  the  Lord  did  because  of  Ba'al-pe'or :  for 
all  the  men  that  followed  Ba'al-pe'or,  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath    destroyed  them   from  the  midst  of  thee. 

4  But  ye  that  did  cleave  unto  the  Lord  your  God  are 

5  alive  every  one  of  you  this  day.  Behold,  I  have 
taught  you  statutes  and  judgements,  even  as  the 
Lord  my  God  commanded  me,  that  ye  should  do 
so  in   the  midst  of  the  land   whither  ye  go  in  to 

6  possess  it.  Keep  therefore  and  do  them  ;  for  this  is 
your  wisdom  and  your  understanding  in  the  sight 
of  the  peoples,  which  shall  hear  all  these  statutes, 
and  say.    Surely  this  great    nation   is   a   wise   and 

7  understanding  people.  For  what  great  nation  is 
there,  that  hath  'a  god  so  nigh  unto  them,  as  the 
Lord   our  God  is  whensoever  we  call  upon  him 

8  And  what  great  nation  is  there,  that  hath  statutes 
and  judgements  so  righteous  as  all  this  law,  which 

9  I  .set  before  you  this  day  ?     Only  take  heed  to  thy 
self,  and  keep  thy  soul  diligently,  lest  thou  forget 
the  things  which  thine  eyes  saw,  and  lest  they  depart 
from  thy  heart  all  the  days  of  thy  life ;  but  make 
them  known   unto  thy  children  and   thy  children's 

10 children;  the  day  that  thou  stoodest  before  the 
Lord  thy  God  in  Ho'reb,  when  the  Lord  said  unto 
me.  Assemble  me  the  people,  and  I  will  make  them 
hear  my  words,  that  they  may  learn  to  fear  me  all 
the  days  that  they  live  upon  the  earth,  and  that  they 

11  may  teach  their  children.  And  ye  came  near  and 
stood  under  the  mountain ;  and  the  mountain 
burned  with    fire  unto   the  heart    of  heaven,  with 

12  darkness,  cloud,  and  thick  darkness.  And  the 
Lord  spake  unto  you  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire : 
ye  heard  the  voice  of  words,  but  ye  saw  no  form ; 

13  only  ye  heard  a  voice.  And  he  declared  unto  you 
his  covenant,  which  he  commanded  you  to  perform, 
even  the  ten  ^commandments;  and  he  wrote  them 

14  upon  two  tables  of  stone.  And  the  Lord  com- 
manded me  at  that  time  to  teach  you  statutes  and 
judgements,  that    ye    might    do  them  in    the    land 

15  whither  ye  go  over  to  possess  it.  Take  ye  there- 
fore good  heed  unto  yourselves ;  for  ye  saw  no 
manner  of  form  on  the  day   that  the  Lord  spake 

16  unto  you  in  Ho'reb  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire  :  lest 
ye  corrupt  yourselves,  and  make  you  a  graven  image 
in  the  form   of  any  figure,  the  likeness  of  male  or 

17  female,  the  likeness  of  any  beast  that  is  on  the  earth, 
the  likeness  of  any  winged  fowl   that  flieth  in  the 

18  heaven,  the  likeness  of  any  thing  that  creepeth  on 
the  ground,  the  likeness  of  any  fish   that   is  in  the 

19 water  under  the  earth:  and  lest  thou  lift  up  thine 
eyes  unto  heaven,  and  when  thou  seest  the  sun 
and  the  moon  and  the  stars,  even  all  the  host  of 
heaven,  thou  be  drawn  away  and  worship  them,  and

serve  them,  which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  ||  divided  unto 
all  nations  under  the  whole  heaven. 

20  But  the  Lord  hath  taken  you,  and  ''brought  you  forth 
out  of  the  iron  furnace,  even  out  of  E'gypt,  *to  be  unto  him 
a  people  of  inheritance,  as  ye  are  this  day. 

21  Furthermore  •''the  Lord  was  angry  with  me  for  your 
sakes,  and  sware  that  I  should  not  go  over  Jor'dan,  and  that 
I  should  not  go  in  unto  that  good  land,  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee /or  an  inheritance  : 

22  But  "I  must  die  in  this  land,  *I  must  not  go  over  Jor'dan : 
but  ye  shall  go  over,  and  possess  'that  good  land. 

23  Take  heed  unto  yourselves,  *lest  ye  forget  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  your  God,  which  he  made  with  you,  'and  make 
you  a  graven  image,  or  the  likeness  of  any  thing,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  forbidden  thee. 

24  For  ""the  Lord  thy  God  is  a  consuming  fire,  even  "a 
jealous  God. 

25  ^When  thou  shalt  beget  children,  and  children's  chil- 
dren, and  ye  shall  have  remained  long  in  the  land,  and  "shall 
corrupt  yourselves,  and  make  a  graven  image,  or  the  likeness 
of  any  thing,  and  ''shall  do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  to  provoke  him  to  anger ; 

26  'I  call  heaven  and  earth  to  witness  against  you  this 
day,  that  ye  shall  soon  utterly  perish  from  off  the  land 
whereunto  ye  go  over  Jor'dan  to  possess  it ;  ye  shall  not 
prolong  ymir  days  upon  it,  but  shall  utterly  be  destroyed. 

27  And  the  Lord  ''shall  scatter  you  among  the  nations, 
and  ye  shall  be  left  few  in  number  among  the  heathen, 
whither  the  Lord  shall  lead  you. 

28  And  "there  ye  shall  serve  gods,  the  work  of  men's  hands, 
wood  and  stone,  'which  neither  see,  nor  hear,  nor  eat,  nor 
smell. 

29  "But  if  from  thence  thou  shalt  seek  the  Lord  thy  God, 
thou  shalt  find  him,  if  thou  seek  him  with  all  thy  heart  and 
with  all  thy  soul. 

30  When  thou  art  in  tribulation,  and  all  these  things  tare 
come  upon  thee,  ''even  in  the  latter  days,  if  "thou  turn  to  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  be  obedient  unto  his  voice  ; 

31  (For  the  Lord  thy  God  is  "a  merciful  God ;)  he  will 
not  forsake  thee,  neither  destroy  thee,  nor  forget  the  cove- 
nant of  thy  fathers,  which  he  sware  unto  them. 

32  For  "ask  now  of  the  days  that  are  past,  which  were  be- 
fore thee,  since  the  day  that  God  created  man  upon  the 
earth,  and  ask  ''from  the  one  side  of  heaven  unto  the  other, 
whether  there  hath  been  any  such  thing  as  this  great  thing 
is,  or  hath  been  heard  like  it? 

33  ''Did  ever  people  hear  the  voice  of  God  speaking  out 
of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  as  thou  hast  heard,  and  live  ? 

34  Or  hath  God  assayed  to  go  and  take  him  a  nation 
from  the  midst  oi  another  nation,  ''by  temptations,  'by  .sigti.s, 
and  by  wonders,  and  by  war,  and  ■''by  a  mighty  hand,  and 
"by  a  .stretched  out  arm,  ''and  by  great  terrors,  according  to 
all  that  the  Lord  your  God  did  for  you  in  E'gypt  before 
your  eyes  ? 

35  Unto  thee  it  was  shewed,  that  thou  mightest  know  that 
the  Lord  he  is  God  :  Hhere  is  none  else  besides  him. 

36  *Out  of  heaven  he  made  thee  to  hear  his  voice,  that  he 
might  instruct  thee  :  and  upon  earth  he  shewed  thee  his 
great  fire ;  and  thou  heardest  his  words  out  of  the  midst  of 
the  fire. 

37  And  because  'he  loved  thy  fethers,  therefore  he  chose 
their  seed  after  them,  and  "brought  thee  out  in  his  sight 
with  his  mighty  power  out  of  E'gypt; 

38  "To  drive  out  nations  from  before  thee  greater  and 
mightier  than  thou  art,  to  bring  thee  in,  to  give  thee  their 
land  for  an  inheritance,  as  it  is  this  day. 

39  Know  therefore  this  day,  and  consider  it  in  thine  heart, 
that  "the  Lord  he  is  God  in  heaven  above,  and  upon  the 
earth  beneath :  there  is  none  else. 


serve  them,  which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  divided 

20  unto  all  the  peoples  under  the  whole  heaven.  But 
the  Lord  hath  taken  you,  and  brought  you  forth 
out  of  the  iron  furnace,  out  of  E'gypt,  to  be  unto 

21  him  a  people  of  inheritance,  as  at  this  day.  Further- 
more the  Lord  was  angry  with  me  for  your  .sakes, 
and  sware  that  I  should  not  go  over  Jor'dan,  and 
that  I  should  not  go  in  unto  that  good  land,  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee   for  an  inheritance : 

22  but  I  must  die  in  this  land,  I  must  not  go  over 
Jor'dan  :  but  ye  shall  go  over,  and  possess  that  good 

23  land.  Take  heed  unto  yourselves,  lest  ye  forget  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  your  God,  which  he  made 
with  you,  and  make  you  a  graven  image  in  the  form 
of  any  thing  which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  forbid- 

24  den  thee.  For  the  Lord  thy  God  is  a  devouring 
fire,  a  jealous  God. 

25  When  thou  shalt  beget  children,  and  children's 
children,  and  ye  shall  have  been  long  in  the  land, 
and  shall  corrupt  yourselves,  and  make  a  graven 
image  in  the  form  of  any  thing,  and  shall  do  that 
which  is  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to 

26  provoke  him  to  anger  :  I  call  heaven  and  earth  to 
witness  against  you  this  day,  that  ye  shall  soon 
utterly  perish  from  off  the  laud  whereunto  ye  go 
over  Jor'dan  to  possess  it ;  ye  shall  not  prolong  your 

27  days  upon  it,  but  shall  utterly  be  destroyed.  And 
the  Lord  shall  scatter  you  among  the  peoples,  and 
ye  shall  be  left  few  in  number  among  the  nations, 

28  whither  the  Lord  shall  lead  you  away.  And  there 
ye  shall  serve  gods,  the  work  of  men's  hands,  wood 
and  stone,  which  neither  see,  nor  hear,  nor  eat,  nor 

29  smell.  But  if  from  thence  ye  shall  seek  the  Lord 
thy  God,  thou  shalt  find  him,  if  thou   search  after 

30  him  with  all  thy  heart  and  with  all  thy  soul.  When 
thou  art  in  tribulation,  and  all  these  things  are  come 
upon  thee,  'in   the  latter  days  thou  shalt  return  to 

31  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  hearken  unto  his  voice  :  for 
the  Lord  thy  God  is  a  merciful  God;  he  will  not 
fail  thee,  neither  destroy  thee,  nor  forget  the 
covenant  of  thy  fathers  which  he  sware  unto  them. 

32  For  ask  now  of  the  days  that  are  past,  which  were 
before  thee,  since  the  day  that  God  created  man 
upon  the  earth,  and  from  the  one  end  of  heaven 
unto  the  other,  whether  there  hath  been  any  such 
thing  as  this  great  thing  is,  or  hath  been  heard  like 

33  it  ?  Did  ever  people  hear  the  voice  of  God  speak- 
ing out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  as  thou  hast  heard, 

34 and  live?  Or  hath  God  assayed  to  go  and  take 
him  a  nation  from  the  midst  of  another  nation,  by 
^temptations,  by  signs,  and  by  wonders,  and  by  war, 
and  by  a  mighty  hand,  and  by  a  stretched  out  arm, 
and  by  great  terrors,  according  to  all  that  the  Lord 
your  God  did  for  you  in  E'gypt   before  your  eyes? 

35  Unto  thee  it  was  shewed,  that  thou  mightest  know 
that  the  Lord  he  is  God  ;  there  is  none  else  beside 

36  him.  Out  of  heaven  he  made  thee  to  hear  his 
voice,  that  he  might  instruct  thee :  and  upon  earth 
he  made  thee  to  see  his  great  fire ;  and  thou  heardest 

37  his  words  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire.  And  because 
he  loved  thy  fathers,  therefore  he  chose  their  seed 
after  them,  and  brought  thee  out  with  his  presence, 

38  with  his  great  power,  out  of  E'gypt ;  to  drive  out  na- 
tions from  before  thee  greater  and  mightier  than  thou, 
to  bring  thee  in,  to  give  thee  their  land  for  an  inherit- 

39ance,as  at  this  day.  Know  therefore  this  day,  and  lay 
it  to  thine  heart,  that  the  Lord  he  is  God  in  heaven 
above  and  upon  the  earth  beneath :  there  is  none  else.

41  ^Then  Mo'ses  ■"severed  three  cities  on  this  side  Jor'dan 
toward  the  sunrising; 

42  'That  the  slayer  might  flee  thither,  which  should  kill 
his  neighbour  unawares,  and  hated  him  not  in  times  past; 
and  that  fleeing  unto  one  of  these  cities  he  might  live : 

43  Namely,  'Be'zer  in  the  wilderness,  in  the  plain  country, 
of  the  Eeu'ben-ites;  and  Ra'moth  in  Gil'e-ad,  of  the  Gad'- 
ites ;  and  Go'lan  in  Ba'shan,  of  the  Ma-nas'sites. 

44  And  this  is  the  law  which  Mo'ses  set  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el : 

45  These  are  the  testimonies,  and  the  statutes,  and  the 
judgments,  which  Mo'ses  spake  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
after  they  came  forth  out  of  E'gypt, 

46  On  this  side  Jor'dan,  "in  the  valley  over  against  Beth- 
pe'or,  in  the  land  of  Si'hon  king  of  the  Am'o-rites,  who  dwelt 
at  Hesh'bon,  whom  Mo'ses  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
'smote,  after  they  were  come  forth  out  of  E'gypt : 

47  And  they  possessed  his  land,  and  the  land  "of  Og  king 
of  Ba'shan,  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites,  which  were  on  this 
side  Jor'dan  toward  the  sunrising; 

48  'From  Ar'o-er,  which  is  by  the  bank  of  the  rivM"  Ar'- 
non,  even  unto  mount  Si'on,  which  is  "Her-mon, 

49  And  all  the  plain  on  this  side  Jor'dan  eastward,  even 
unto  the  sea  of  the  plain,  under  the  'springs  of  Pis'gah. 

CHAPTER  V. 

Tke  covenant  in  Horeb — The  ten  commandments. 

AND  Mo'ses  called  all  Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto  them.  Hear, 
O  Is'ra-el,  the  statutes  and  judgments  which  I  speak  in- 
your  ears  this  day,  that  ye  may  learn  them,  and  f  keep  and 
do  them. 

2  "The  Lord  our  God  made  a  covenant  with  us  in  Ho'reb. 

3  The  Lord  ''made  not  this  covenant  with  our  fathers,  but 
with  us,  even  us,  who  are  all  of  us  here  alive  this  day. 

4  "^The  Lord  talked  with  you  face  to  face  in  the  mount 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire, 

5  (''I  stood  between  the  Lord  and  you  at  that  time,  to 
shew  you  the  word  of  the  Lord  :  for  'ye  were  afraid  by 
reason  of  the  fire,  and  went  not  up  into  the  mount,)  saying, 

6  ^•'^I  am.  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  brought  thee  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  from  the  house  of  fbondage. 

7  "Thou  shalt  have  none  other  gods  before  me. 

8  *Thou  shalt  not  make  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any 
likeness  of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in 
the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  waters  beneath  the 
earth : 

9  Thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  unto  them,  nor  serve 
them :  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  Visiting 
the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children  unto  the  third 
and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  me, 

10  ''And  shewing  mercy  unto  thousands  of  them  that 
love  me  and  keep  my  commandments. 

11  'Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  vain :  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that 
taketh  his  name  in  vain. 

12  ""Keep  the  sabbath  day  to  sanctify  it,  as  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  commanded  thee. 

13  "Six  days  thou  shalt  labour,  and  do  all  thy  work : 

14  But  the  seventh  day  is  the  "sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy 
God :  in  it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son, 
nor  thy  daughter,  nor  thy  manservant,  nor  thy  maidserv- 
ant, nor  thine  ox,  nor  thine  ass,  nor  any  of  thy  cattle,  nor 
thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates ;  that  thy  manservant 
and  thy  maidservant  may  rest  as  well  as  thou. 


40  And  thou  shalt  keep  his  statutes,  and  his  command- 
ments, which  I  command  thee  this  day,  that  it  may 
go  well  with  thee,  and  with  thy  children  after  thee, 
and  that  thou  mayest  prolong  thy  days  upon  the 
land,  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  for  ever. 

41  Then  Mo'ses  separated  three  cities  beyond  Jor'dan 
42 toward  the    sunrising;    that    the  manslayer    might 

flee  thither,  which  slayeth  his  neighbour  unawares, 
and  hated  him   not  in   time   past;  and   that  fleeing 

43  unto  one  of  these  cities  he  might  live :  namely,  Be'zer 
in  the  wilderness,  in  the  ^plain  country,  for  the  Reu'- 
ben-ites;  and  Ra'moth  in  Gil'e-ad,  for  the  Gad'iteS; 
aad  Gro'lan  in  Ba'shan,  for  the  Ma-nas'sites. 

44  And  this  is  the   law  which   Mo'ses  set  before  the 

45  children  of  Is'ra-el :  these  are  the  testimonies,  and  the 
statutes,  and  the  judgements,  which  Mo'ses  spake 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  when  they  came  forth 

46 out  of  E'gypt;  beyond  Jor'dan,  in  the  valley  over 
against  Beth-pe'or,  in  the  land  of  Si'hon  king  of  the 
Am'o-rites,  who  dwelt  at  Hesh'bon,  whom  Mo'ses 
and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  smote,  when  they  came 

47  forth  out  of  E'gypt :  and  they  took  his  land  in  pos- 
session, and  the  land  of  Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  the  two 
kings  of  the  Am'o-rites,  which  were  beyond  Jor'dan 

48  toward  the  sunrising ;  from  Ar'o-er,  which  is  on  the 
edge  of  the  valley  of  Ar'non,  even  unto  mount  Si'on 

49  (the  same  is  Her'mon),  and  all  the  Ar'a-baJi  beyond 
Jor'dan  eastward,  even  unto  the  sea  of  the  Ar'a-bah, 
under  the  ^slopes  of  Pis'gah. 

O  And  Mo'ses  called  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto 
them.  Hear,  O  Is'ra-el,  the  statutes  and  the  judge- 
ments which  I  speak  in  your  ears  this  day,  that  ye 

2  may  learn  them,  and  observe  to  do  them.  The 
Lord  our  God  made  a  covenant  with  us  in  Ho'reb. 

3  The  Lord  made  not  this  covenant  with  our  fiithers, 
but  with  us,  even  us,  who  are  all  of  us  here  alive 

4  this  day.     The  Lord  spake  with  you  face  to  face  in 

5  the  mount  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  (I  stood  be- 
tween the  Lord  and  you  at  that  time,  to  shew  you 
the  word  of  the  Lord  :  for  ye  were  afraid  because  of 
the  fire,  and  went  not  up  into  the  mount ;)  saying, 

6  'I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  brought  thee  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  out  of  the  house  of  ''bondage 

7  Thou  shalt  have  none  other  gods  ^before  me. 

8  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  a  graven  image, 
the  liheness  of  any  form  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or 
that  is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water 

9  under  the  earth :  thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself 
unto  them,  nor  serve  them :  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God 
am  a  jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers 
upon  the  children,  and  upon  the  third  and  upon  the 

10  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  me ;  and  shew- 
ing mercy  unto  ^thousands,  of  them  that  love  me  and 
keep  my  commandments. 

11  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy 
God  "in  vain  :  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guilt- 
less that  taketh  his  name  "in  vain. 

12  Observe  the  sabbath  day,  to  keep  it  holy,  as  the 

13  Lord   thy   God  commanded  thee.     Six  days  shalt 
14 thou  labour,  and  do  all   thy  work:  but  the  seventh 

day  is  a  sabbath  unto  the  Lord  thy  God :  in  it  thou 
shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy 
daughter,  nor  thy  manservant,  nor  thy  maidservant, 
nor  thine  ox,  nor  thine  ass,  nor  any  of  thy  cattle,  nor 
thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates ;  that  thy  man- 
servant and  thy  njaidservant  may  rest  as  well  as  thou.

longed, and  that  it  may  go  well  with  thee,  in  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

17  'Thou  shalt  not  kill.

22  ^These  words  the  Lord  spake  unto  all  your  assembly 
in  the  mount  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  of  the  cloud, 
and  of  the  thick  darkness,  with  a  great  voice ;  and  he  added 
no  more.  And  "he  wrote  them  in  two  tables  of  stone,  and 
delivered  them  unto  me. 

23  'And  it  came  to  pass,  when  ye  heard  the  voice  out  of 
the  midst  of  the  darkness,  (for  the  mountain  did  burn  with 
fire,)  that  ye  came  near  unto  me,  even  all  the  heads  of  your 
tribes,  and  your  elders  ; 

24  And  ye  said.  Behold,  the  Lord  our  God  hath  shewed 
us  his  glory  and  his  greatness,  and  °we  have  heard  his 
voice  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire :  we  have  seen  this  day 
that  God  doth  talk  with  man,  and  he  ''liveth. 

25  Now  therefore  why  should  we  die?  for  this  great  fire 
will  consume  us :  'if  we  fhear  the  voice  of  the  Lord  our 
God  any  more,  then  we  shall  die. 

26  •'^For  who  is  there  of  all  flesh,  that  hath  heard  the  voice 
of  the  living  God  speaking  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  as 
we  have,  and  lived  ? 

27  Go  thou  near,  and  hear  all  that  the  Lord  our  God 
shall  say;  and  "speak  thou  unto  us  all  that  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  speak  unto  thee ;  and  we  will  hear  it,  and  do  it. 

28  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice  of  your  words,  when  ye 
spake  unto  me ;  and  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  I  have  heard 
the  voice  of  the  words  of  this  people,  which  they  have  spoken 
unto  thee  :  Hhey  have  well  said  all  that  they  have  spoken. 

29  'Oh  that  there  were  such  a  heart  in  them,  that  they  would 
fear  me,  and  *keep  all  my  commandments  always,  'that  it 
might  be  well  with  them,  and  with  their  children  for  ever! 

30  Go  say  to  them,  Get  you  into  your  tents  again. 

31  But  as  for  thee,  stand  thou  here  by  me,  "and  I  will 
speak  unto  thee  all  the  commandments,  and  the  statutes, 
and  the  judgments,  which  thou  shalt  teach  them,  that  they 
may  do  them  in  the  land  which  I  give  them  to  possess  it. 

32  Ye  shall  observe  to  do  therefore  as  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  commanded  you :  "ye  shall  not  turn  aside  to  the 
right  hand  or  to  the  left. 

33  Ye  shall  walk  in  "all  the  ways  which  the  Lord  your 
God  hath  commanded  you,  that  ye  may  live,  "and  that  it 
may  be  well  with  you,  and  that  ye  may  prolong  your  days 
in  the  land  which  ye  shall  possess. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

The  end  of  the  law  is  obedience — An  exhortation  thereto. 

"VrOW  these  are  "the  commandments,  the  statutes,  and  the 
-L^  judgments  which  the  Lord  your  God  commanded  to 
teach  you  that  ye  might  do  them  in  the  land  whither  ye  fgo 
to  possess  it: 

2  'That  thou  mightest  fear  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  keep  all 
his  statutes  and  his  commandments,  which  I  command  thee, 
thou,  and  thy  son,  and  thy  son's  son,  all  the  days  of  thy 
life ;  ''and  that  thy  days  may  be  prolonged. 


15  And  thou  shalt  remember  that  thou  wast  a  servant 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  the  Lord  thy  God  brought 
thee  out  thence  by  a  mighty  hand  and  by  a  stretched 
out  arm :  therefore  the  Lord  thy  God  commanded 
thee  to  keep  the  sabbath  day. 

16  Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother,  as  the  Lord 
thy  God  commanded  thee :  that  thy  days  may  be 
long,  and  that  it  may  go  well  with  thee,  upon  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

17  Thou  shalt  do  no  murder. 

18  Neither  shalt  thou  commit  adultery. 

19  Neither  shalt  thou  steal. 

20  Neither  shalt  thou  bear  false  witness  against  thy 
neighbour. 

21  Neither  shalt  thou  covet  thy  neighbour's  wife ; 
neither  shalt  thou  desire  thy  neighbour's  house,  his 
field,  or  his  manservant,  or  his  maidservant,  his  ox, 
or  his  ass,  or  anything  that  is  thy  neighbour's. 

22  These  words  the  Lord  spake  unto  all  your  as- 
sembly in  the  mount  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  of 
the  cloud,  and  of  the  thick  darkness,  with  a  great 
voice  :  and  he  added  no  more.  And  he  wrote  them 
upon  two  tables  of  stone,  and  gave  them  unto  me. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  ye  heard  the  voice  out 
of  the  midst  of  the  darkness,  while  the  mountain  did 
burn  with  fire,  that  ye  came  near  unto  me,  even  all 

24  the  heads  of  your  tribes,  and  your  elders ;  and  ye 
said.  Behold,  the  Lord  our  God  hath  shewed  us  his 
glory  and  his  greatness,  and  we  have  heard  his  voice 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire :  we  have  seen  this  day 

25  that  God  doth  speak  with  man,  and  he  liveth.  Now 
therefore  why  should  we  die  ?  for  this  great  fire  will 
consume  us :  if  we  hear  the  voice  of  the  Lord  our 

26  God  any  more,  then  we  shall  die.  For  who  is  there 
of  all  flesh,  that  hath  heard  the  voice  of  the  living 
God  speaking  out  of  the  midst  of  the   fire,  as  we 

27  have,  and  lived  ?  Go  thou  near,  and  hear  all  that 
the  Lord  our  God  shall  say:  and  speak  thou  unto 
u&  all  that  the  Lord  our  God  shall  speak  unto  thee ; 

28  and  we  will  hear  it,  and  do  it.     And  the  Lord  heard 
the  voice  of  your  words,  when  ye  spake  unto  me 
and  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  I  have  neard  the  voice 
of  the  words  of  this  people,  which  they  have  spoken 
unto  thee :  they  have  well  said  all  that  they  have 

29  spoken.     'Oh  that  there  were  such  an  heart  in  them, 
that  they  would  fear  me,  and  keep  all  my  command 
ments  always  that  it  might  be  well  with  them,  and 

30  with  their  children  for  ever !     Go  say  to  them.  Re 

31  turn  ye  to  your  tents.  But  as  for  thee,  stand  thou 
here  by  me,  and  I  will  speak  unto  thee  all  the  com- 
mandment, and  the  statutes,  and  the  judgements, 
which  thou  shalt  teach  them,  that  they  may  do  them 

32  in  the  land  which  I  give  them  to  possess  it.  Ye 
shall  observe  to  do  therefore  as  the  Lord  your  God 
hath  commanded  you :   ye  shall    not   turn   aside   to 

33  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left.  Ye  shall  walk  in  all 
the  way  which  the  Lord  your  God  hath  commanded 
you,  that  ye  may  live,  and  that  it  may  be  well  with 
you,  and  that  ye  may  prolong  your  days  in  the  land 
which  ye  shall  possess. 

O  Now  this  is  the  commandment,  the  statutes,  and 
the  judgements,  which  the  Lord  your  God  com- 
manded to  teach  you,  that  ye  might  do  them  in  the 

2  land  whither  ye  go  over  to  pos-sess  it :  that  thou 
mightest  fear  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  keep  all  his  stat- 
utes and  his  commandments,  which  I  command  thee, 
thou,  and  thy  son,  and  thy  son's  son,  all  the  days 
of  thy  life ;   and  that  thy  days  may  be  prolonged.

may  be  well  with  thee,  and  that  ye  may  increase  mightily, 
''as  the  Lord  God  of  thy  fathers  hath  promised  thee,  in 
'the  land  that  floweth  with  milk  and  honey. 

4  ■'Hear,  O  Is'ra-el :    The  Lord  our  God  is  one  Lord  : 

5  And  "thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  ''with  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  might. 

6  And  'these  words  which  I  command  thee  this  day,  shall 
be  in  thine  heart: 

7  And  *thou  shalt  fteach  them  diligently  unto  thy  chil-

house,  and  when  thou  walkest  by  the  way,  and  when  thou 
liest  down,  and  when  thou  risest  up. 

8  'And  thou  shalt  bind  them  for  a  sign  upon  thine  hand, 
and  they  shall  be  as  frontlets  between  thine  eyes. 

9  ""And  thou  shalt  write  them  upon  the  posts  of  thy  house, 
and  on  thy  gates. 

10  And  it  shall  be,  when  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  have 
brought  thee  into  the  land  which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers, 
to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  to  give  thee  great  and 
goodly  cities,  "which  thou  buildedst  not, 

11  And  houses  full  of  all  good  things,  which  thou  filled.st 
not,  and  wells  digged,  which  thou  diggedst  not,  vineyards 
and  olive  trees,  which  thou  plantedst  not ;  "when  thou  shalt 
have  eaten  and  be  full; 

12  Then  beware  lest  thou  forget  the  Lord,  which  brought 
thee  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  from  the  house  of 
fbondage. 

13  Thou  shalt  "fear  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  serve  him,  and 
"shalt  swear  by  l.is  name. 

14  Ye  shall  n  jt  '^go  after  other  gods,  'of  the  gods  of  the 
people  which  are  round  about  you; 

15  (For  'the  Lord  thy  God  is  a  jealous  God  among  you ;) 
"lest  the  anger  of  the  Lord  thy  God  be  kindled  against  thee, 
and  destroy  thee  from  off  the  face  of  the  earth. 

16  ^'Ye  shall  not  tempt  the  Lord  your  God,  "as  ye 
tempted  him  in  Mas'sah. 

17  Ye  shall  'diligently  keep  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  his  testimonies,  and  his  statutes,  which 
he  hath  commanded  thee. 

18  And  thou  "shalt  do  that  which  is  right  and  good  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  :  that  it  may  be  well  with  thee,  and  that

Lord  sware  unto  thy  fathers,

ing, What  mean  the  testimonies,  and  the  statutes,  and  the 
judgments,  which  the  Lord  our  God  hath  commanded  you? 

21  Then  thou  shalt  say  unto  thy  son.  We  were  Pha'raoh's 
bondmen  in  E'gypt ;  and  the  Lord  brought  us  out  of  E'gypt 
"with  a  mighty  hand: 

22  'And  the  Lord  shewed  signs  and  wonders,  great  and 
fsore,  upon  E'gypt,  upon  Pha'raoh,  and  upon  all  his  house- 
hold, before  our  eyes: 

23  And  he  brought  us  out  from  thence,  that  he  might  bring 
us  in,  to  give  us  the  land  which  he  sware  unto  our  fathers. 

24  And  the  Lord  commanded  us  to  do  all  these  statutes, 
■'to  fear  the  Lord  our  God,  "for  our  good  always,  that  ''he 
might  preserve  us  alive,  as  it  is  at  this  day. 

25  And  "it  shall  be  our  righteousness,  if  we  observe  to  do 
all  these  commandments  before  the  Lord  our  God,  as  he 
hath  commanded  us.

All  communion  with   the  nations   is  forbidden. 

WHEN  the  "Lord  thy  God  shall  bring  thee  into  the 
land  whither  thou  goest  to  possess  it,  and  hath  cast  out 
many_  nations  before  thee,  ''the  Hit'tites,  and  the  Gir'- 
ga-shites,  and  the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the 


3  Hear  therefore,  O  Is'ra-el,  and  observe  to  do  it ;  that 
it  may  be  well  with  thee,  and  that  ye  may  increase 
mightily,  as  the  Lord,  the  God  of  thy  fathers,  hath 

Eromised  unto  thee,  in  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and 
oney. 

4  Hear,  O  Is'ra-el :  'the  Lord  our  God  is  one  Lord  : 

5  and  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all 
thine  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy 

6  might.     And  these  words,  which  I  command  thee 

7  this  day,  shall  be  upon  thine  heart :  and  thou  shalt 
teach  them  diligently  unto  thy  children,  and  shalt 
talk  of  them  when  thou  sittest  in  thine  house,  and 
when  thou  walkest  by  the  way,  and  when  thou  liest 

8  down,  and  when  thou  risest  up.  And  thou  shalt 
bind    them    for  a  sign  upon  thine   hand,  and  they 

9  shall  be  for  frontlets  between  thine  eyes.  And  thou 
shalt  write  them  upon  the  door  posts  of  thy  house, 
and  upon  thy  gates. 

10  And  it  shall  be,  when  the  Lord  thy  God  shall 
bring  thee  into  the  land  which  he  sware  unto  thy 
fathers,  to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  to  give 
thee ;  great  and  goodly  cities,  which  thou  buildedst 

11  not,  and  houses  full  of  all  good  things,  which  thou 
filledst  not,  and  cisterns  hewn  out,  which  thou 
hewedst   not,  vineyards  and  olive  trees,  which  thou 

12 plantedst  not,  and  thou  shalt  eat  and  be  full;  then 
beware  lest  thou  forget  the  Lord,  which  brought 
thee  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  out  of  the  house 

13 of  bondage.  Thou  shalt  fear  the  Lord  thy  God; 
and  him  shalt  thou   serve,  and  shalt   swear  by  his 

14  name.     Ye  shall  not  go  after  other  gods,  of  the  gods 

15 of  the  peoples  which  are  round  about  you;  for  the 
Lord  thy  God  in  the  mid.st  of  thee  is  a  jealous  God  ; 
lest  the  anger  of  the  Lord  thy  God  be  kindled 
against  thee,  and  he  destroy  thee  from  off  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

16  Ye  shall  not  tempt    the  Lord  your  God,  as  ye 

17  tempted  him  in  Mas'sah.  Ye  shall  diligently  keep 
the  commandments  of  the  Lord  your  God,  and  his 
testimonies,  and  his  statutes,  which  he  hath   com- 

18manded  thee.  And  thou  shalt  do  that  which  is 
right  and  good  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord:  that  it 
may  be  well  with  thee,  and  that  thou  mayest  go  in 
and  possess  the  good  land  which  the   Lord   sware 

19  unto  thy  fathers,  to  thrust  out  all  thine  enemies  from 
before  thee,  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken. 

20  When  thy  son  asketh  thee  in  time  to  come,  say- 
ing. What  mean  the  testimonies,  and  the  statutes, 
and  the  judgements,  which  the  Lord  our  God  hath 

21  commanded  you?  then  thou  shalt  say  unto  thy  son. 
We  were  Pha'raoh's  bondmen  in  E'gypt;  and  the 
Lord  brought  us  out  of  E'gypt  with  a  mighty  hand 

22  and  the  Lord  shewed  signs  and  wonders,  great  and 
sore,  upon  E'gypt,  upon  Pha'raoh,  and  upon  all  his 

23  house,  before  our  eyes :  and  he  brought  us  out  from 
thence,  that  he  might  bring  us  in,  to   give  us  the 

24  land  which  he  sware  unto  our  fathers.  And  the 
Lord  commanded  us  to  do  all  these  statutes,  to  fear 
the    Lord  our  God,  for  our  good  always,   that  he 

25  might  preserve  us  alive,  as  at  this  day.  And  it 
shall  be  righteousness  unto  us,  if  we  observe  to  do 
all  this  commandment  before  the  Lord  our  God,  as 
he  hath  commanded  us.

Per'iz-zites,  and  the  Hi'vites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  seven  na- 
tions "greater  and  mighter  than  thou; 

2  And  when  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  ''deliver  them  before 
thee ;  thou  shalt  smite  them,  and  'utterly  destroy  them ; 
■^thou  shalt  make  no  covenant  with  them,  nor  shew  mercy 
unto  them : 

3  'Neither  shalt  thou  make  marriages  with  them ;  thy 
daughter  thou  shalt  not  give  unto  his  son,  nor  his  daughter 
shalt  thou  take  unto  thy  son. 

4  For  they  will  turn  away  thy  son  from  following  me,  that 
they  may  serve  other  gods  :  ''so  will  the  anger  of  the  Loed 
be  kindled  against  you,  and  destroy  thee  suddenly. 

5  But  thus  shall  ye  deal  with  them  ;  ye  shall  'destroy  their 
altars,  and  break  down  their  fiDfiages,  and  cut  down  their 
groves,  and  burn  their  graven  images  with  fire. 

6  *For  thou  a7i  a  holy  people  unto  the  Loed  thy  God :  'the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen  thee  to  be  a  special  people  unto 
himself,  above  all  people  that  are  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

7  The  Lord  did  not  set  his  love  upon  you,  nor  choose 
you,  because  ye  were  more  in  number  than  any  people ;  for 
ye  were  ""the  fewest  of  all  people: 

8  But  "because  the  Lord  loved  you,  and  because  he  would 
keep  "the  oath  which  he  had  sworn  unto  your  fathers,  ''hath 
the  Lord  brought  you  out  with  a  mighty  hand,  and  re- 
deemed you  out  of  the  house  of  bondmen,  from  the  hand 
of  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt. 

9  Know  therefore  that  the  Loed  thy  God,  he  is  God,  'the 
faithful  God,  ''which  keepeth  covenant  and  mercy  with  them 
that  love  him  and  keep  his  commandments  to  a  thousand 
generations ; 

10  And  'repayeth  them  that  hate  him  to  their  face,  to 
destroy  them  :  'he  will  not  be  slack  to  him  that  hateth  him, 
he  will  repay  him  to  his  face. 

11  Thou  shalt  therefore  keep  the  commandments,  and  the 
statutes,  and  the  judgments,  which  I  command  thee  this 
day,  to  do  them. 

12  ^"Wherefore  it  shall  come  to  pass,  fif  ye  hearken  to 
these  judgments,  and  keep  and  do  them,  that  the  Lord  thy 
God  shall  keep  unto  thee  "the  covenant  and  the  mercy 
which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers: 

13  And  he  will  "love  thee,  and  bless  thee,  and  multiply 
thee  :  "he  will  also  bless  the  fruit  of  thy  womb,  and  the 
fruit  of  thy  land,  thy  corn,  and  thy  wine,  and  thine  oil,  the 
increase  of  thy  kine,  and  the  flocks  of  thy  sheep,  in  the 
land  which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers  to  give  thee. 

14  Thou  shalt  be  blessed  above  all  people :  "there  shall  not 
be  male  or  female  barren  among  you,  or  among  your  cattle. 

15  And  the  Lord  will  take  away  from  thee  all  sickness,  and 
will  put  none  ofthe '"evil  diseases  of  E'gypt,  which  thou  know- 
est,  upon  thee ;  but  will  lay  them  upon  all  them  that  hate  thee. 

16  And  "thou  shalt  consume  all  the  people  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  deliver  thee ;  ''thine  eye  shall  have  no 
pity  upon  them:  neither  shalt  thou  serve  their  gods;  for 
that  will  be  "a  snare  unto  thee. 

17  If  thou  shalt  say  in  thine  heart,  These  nations  are 
more  than  I;  how  can  I -^dispossess  them? 

18  'Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  of  them :  but  shalt  well  ''re- 
member what  the  Lord  thy  God  did  unto  Pha'raoh,  and 
unto  all  E'gypt ; 

19  'The  great  temptations  which  thine  eyes  saw,  and  the 
signs,  and  the  wonders,  and  the  mighty  hand,  and  the 
stretched  out  arm,  whereby  the  Lord  thy  God  brought 
thee  out :  so  shall  the  IjORD  thy  God  do  unto  all  the  people 
of  whom  thou  art  afraid. 

20  *Moreover  the  Lord  thy  God  will  send  the  hornet 
among  them,  until  they  that  are  left,  and  hide  themselves 
from  thee,  be  destroyed. 

21  Thou  shalt  not  be  affrighted  at  them  :  for  the  Lord 
thy  God  M  "araonff  you,  ""a  mighty  God  and  terrible. 


Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site,  seven 
2 nations  greater  and  mightier  than  thou;  and  when 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  deliver  them  up  before 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  smite  them ;  then  thou  shalt 
'utterly  destroy  them :  thou  shalt  make  no  covenant 

3  with  them,  nor  shew  mercy  unto  them ;  neither  shalt 
thou  make  marriages  with  them;  thy  daughter 
thou  shalt  not  give  unto  his  son,  nor  his  daughter 

4  shalt  thou  take  unto  thy  son.  For  he  will  turn 
away  thy  son  from  following  me,  that  they  may 
serve  other  gods :  so  will  the  anger  of  the  Lord  be 
kindled  against  you,  aud  he  will  destroy  thee  quickly. 

5 But  thus  shall  ye  deal  with  them;  ye  shall  break 
down  their  altars,  and  dash  in  pieces  their  ^pillars, 
and  hew  down  their 'Ash'er-im,  and  burn  their  graven 

6  images  with  fire.  For  thou  art  an  holy  people  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God :  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen 
thee  to  be  a  peculiar  people  unto  himself,  %bove  all 

7  peoples  that  are  upon  the  face  of  the  earth.  The 
Lord  did  not  set  his  love  upon  you,  nor  choose  you, 
because  ye  were  more  in  number  than  any  people ; 

8  for  ye  were  the  fewest  of  all  peoples :  but  because 
the  Lord  loveth  you,  and  because  he  would  keep 
the  oath  which  he  sware  unto  your  fathers,  hath  the 
Lord  brought  you  out  with  a  mighty  hand,  and 
redeemed  you  out  of  the  house  of  bondage,  from  the 

9  hand  of  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt.  Know  therefore 
that  the  Lord  thy  God,  he  is  God  ;  the  faithful  God, 
which  keepeth  covenant  and  mercy  with  them  that 
love  him  and  keep  his  commandments  to  a  thousand 

10  generations ;  and  repayeth  them  that  hate  him  to 
their  face,  to  destroy  them :  he  will  not  be  slack  to 
him  that  hateth  him,  he  will  repay  him  to  his  face. 

11  Thou  shalt  therefore  keep  the  commandment,  and 
the  statutes,  and  the  judgements,  which  I  command 
thee  this  day,  to  do  them. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  because  ye  hearken  to 
these  judgements,  and  keep,  and  do  them,  that  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall   keep  with  thee  the  covenant 

13 and  the  mercy  which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers:  and 
he  will  love  thee,  and  bless  thee,  and  multiply  thee : 
he  will  also  bless  the  fruit  of  thy  body  and  the  fruit 
of  thy  ground,  thy  corn  and  thy  wine  and  thine  oil, 
the  increase  of  thy  kine  and  the  young  of  thy  flock, 
in  the  land  which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers  to  give 

14 thee.  Thou  shalt  be  blessed  above  all  peoples: 
.  there  shall  not  be  male  or  female  barren  among  you, 

15  or  among  your  cattle.  And  the  Lord  will  take 
away  from  thee  all  sickness ;  and  he  will  put  none 
of  the  evil  diseases  of  E'gypt,  which  thou  knowest, 
upon  thee,  but  will  lay  them  upon  all  them  that  hate 

16  thee.  And  thou  shalt  consume  all  the  peoples 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  deliver  unto  thee : 
thine  eye  shall  not  pity  them:  neither  shalt  thou 
serve  their  gods ;  for  that  will  be  a  snare  unto  thee. 

17  If  thou  shalt  say  in  thine  heart.  These  nations  are 
18 more  than  I;    how  can    I   dispossess   them?    thou 

shalt  not  be  afraid  of  them  :  thou  shalt  well  remem- 
ber what  the  Lord  thy  God  did  unto  Pha'raoh,  and 
19 unto  all  E'gypt;  the  great  ''temptations  which  thine 
eyes  saw,  and  the  signs,  and  the  wonders,  and  the 
mighty  hand,  and  the  stretched  out  arm,  whereby  the 
Lord  thy  God  brought  thee  out:  so  shall  the  Lord 
thy  God  do  unto  all  the  peoples  of  whom  thou  art 

20  afraid.  Moreover  the  Lord  thy  God  will  send  the 
hornet  among  them,  until  they  that  are  left,  and  *hide 

21  themselves,  perish  from  before  thee.  Thou  shalt 
not  be  aflrighted  at  them:  for  the  Lord  thy  God 
is  in  the  midst  of  thee,  a  great  God  and  a  terrible.

23  But  the  Loed  thy  God  shall  deliver  them  junto  thee, 
and  shall  destroy  them  with  a  mighty  destruction,  until  they 
be  destroyed. 

24  And  "he  shall  deliver  their  kings  into  thine  hand,  and 
thou  shaU-  destroy  their  name  ''from  under  heaven  :  'there 
shall  no  laan  be  able  to  stand  before  thee,  until  thou  have

them,  nor  take  it  unto  thee,  lest  thou  be  'snared  therein  :  for 
it  is  "an  abomination  to  the  Lord  thy  God. 

26  Neither  shalt  thou  bring  an  abomination  into  thine

utterly  detest  it,  and  thou  shalt  utterly  abhor  it ;  "'for  it  is 
a  cursed  thing. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

An  exhortation  to  obedience  in  regard  of  God^s  dealing  with  them. 

ALL  the  commandments  which  I  command  thee  this 
day  "shall  ye  observe  to  do,  that  ye  may  live,  and  multiply, 
and  go  in  and  possess  the  land  which  the  Loei>  sware  unto 
your  fathers. 

2  And  thou  shalt  remember  all  the  way  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  ''led  thee  these  forty  years  in  the  wilderness,  to  humble 
thee,  and  "to  prove  thee,  ''to  know  what  was  in  thine  heart, 
whether  thou  wouldest  keep  his  commandments,  or  no. 

3  And  he  humbled  thee,  and  'suifered  thee  to  hunger, 
and  ■'Ted  thee  with  manna,  which  thou  knewest  not,  neither 
did  thy  fathers  know ;  that  he  might  make  thee  know  that 
man  doth  "not  live  by  bread  only,  but  by  every  word  that 
proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  doth  man  live. 

4  'Thy  raiment  waxed  not  old  upon  thee,  neither  did  thy 
foot  swell,  these  forty  years. 

5  'Thou  shalt  also  consider  in  thine  heart,  that,  as  a  man 
chasteneth  his  son,  so  the  Lord  thy  God  chasteneth  thee. 

6  Therefore  thou  shalt  keep  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  *to  walk  in  his  ways,  and  to  fear  him. 

7  For  the  Lord  thy  God  bringeth  thee  into  a  good  land, 
'a  land  of  brooks  of  water,  of  fountains  and  depths  that 
spring  out  of  valleys  and  hills ; 

8  A  land  of  wheat,  and  barley,  and  vines,  and  fig  trees, 
and  pomegranates ;  a  land  fof  oil  olive,  and  honey ; 

9  A  land  wherein  thou  shalt  eat  bread  without  scarceness, 
thou  shalt  not  lack  any  thing  in  it;  a  land  ""whose  stones 
are  iron,  and  out  of  whose  hills  thou  mayest  dig  brass. 

10  "When  thou  hast  eaten  and  art  full,  then  thou  shalt  bless 
the  Lord  thy  God  for  the  good  land  which  he  hath  given  thee. 

11  Beware  that  thou  forget  not  the  Lord  thy  God,  in  not 
keeping  his  commandments,  and  his  judgments,  and  his 
statutes,  which  I  command  thee  this  day : 

12  "Lest  when  thou  hast  eaten  and  art  full,  and  hast  built 
goodly  houses,  and  dwelt  therein; 

13  And  when  thy  herds  and  thy  flocks  multiply,  and 
thy  silver  and  thy  gold  is  multiplied,  and  all  that  thou  hast 
is  multiplied ; 

14  "Then  thine  heart  be  lifted  up,  and  thou  'forget  the 
Lord  thy  God,  which  brought  thee  forth  out  of  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  from  the  house  of 'bondage ; 

15  Who  ''led  thee  through  that  great  and  terrible  wilder- 
ness, 'wherein  were  fiery  serpents,  and  scorpions,  and  drought, 
where  there  was  no  water;  'who  brought  thee  forth  water 
out  of  the  rock  of  flint ; 

16  Who  fed  thee  in  the  wilderness  with  "manna,  which 
thy  fathers  knew  not,  that  he  might  humble  thee,  and  that 
he  might  prove  thee,  no  do  thee  good  at  thy  latter  end : 

17  "And  thou  say  in  thine  heart.  My  power  and  the 
might  of  mine  hand  hath  gotten  me  this  wealth. 


22  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will  cast  out  those  nations 
before  thee  by  little  and  little :  thou  mayest  not 
consume  them  'at  once,  lest  the  beasts  of  the  field 

23  increase  upon  thee.  But  the  Lord  thy  God  shall 
deliver  them  up  before  thee,  and  shall  discomfit 
them  with  a  great  discomfiture,  until   they  be  de- 

24  stroyed.  And  he  shall  deliver  their  kings  into  thine 
hand,  and  thou  shalt  make  their  name  to  perish  from 
under  heaven  :   there  shall  no  man  be  able  to  stand 

25  before  thee,  until  thou  have  destroyed  them.  The 
graven  images  of  their  gods  shall  ye  burn  with  fire  : 
thou  shalt  not  covet  the  silver  or  the  gold  that  is  on 
them,  nor  take  it  unto  thee,  lest  thou  be  snared 
therein  :  for  it  is  an  abomination  to  the  Lord  thy 

26  God :  and  thou  shalt  not  bring  an  abomination  into 
thine  house,  and  become  a  devoted  thing  like  unto 
it :  thou  shalt  utterly  detest  it,  and  thou  shalt  utterly 
abhor  it ;  for  it  is  a  devoted  thing. 

0  AH  the  commandment  which  I  command  thee 
this  day  shall  ye  observe  to  do,  that  ye  may  live, 
and  multiply,  and  go  in  and  possess  the  land  which 

2  the  Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers.  And  thou  shalt 
remember  all  the  way  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  led  thee  these  forty  years  in  the  wilderness,  that 
he  might  humble  thee,  to  prove  thee,  to  know  what 
was  in  thine  heart,  whether  thou  wouldest  keep  his 

3  commandments,  or  no.  And  he  humbled  thee,  and 
sufiered  thee  to  hunger,  and  fed  thee  with  manna, 
which  thou  knewest  not,  neither  did  thy  fathers 
know ;  that  he  might  make  thee  know  that  man 
doth  not  live  by  bread  only,  but  by  every  thing 
that  proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  doth 

4  man  live.     Thy  raiment  waxed  not   old  upon  thee, 

5  neither  did  thy  foot  swell,  these  forty  years.  And 
th«u  shalt  consider  in  thine  heart,  that,  as  a  man 
chasteneth  his  son,  so  the  Lord  thy  God  chasteneth 

6  thee.  And  thou  shalt  keep  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord  thy  God,  to  walk  in  his  ways,  and  to  fear 

7  him.  For  the  Lord  thy  God  bringeth  thee  into  a 
good  land,  a  land  of  brooks  of  water,  of  fountains 

8  and  depths,  springing  forth  in  valleys  and  hills ;  a 
land  of  wheat  and  barley,  and  vines  and  fig  trees 
and  pomegranates ;  a  land  of  oil  olives  and  honey ; 

9  a  land  wherein  thou  shalt  eat  bread  without  scarce- 
ness, thou  shalt  not  lack  any  thing  in  it ;  a  land 
whose  stones  are  iron,  and  out  of  whose  hills  thou 

10  mayest  dig  brass.  And  thou  shalt  eat  and  be  full, 
and  thou  shalt  bless  the  Lord  thy  God  for  the  good 

11  land  which  he  hath  given  thee.  Beware  lest  thou 
forget  the  Lord  thy  God,  in  not  keeping  his  com- 
mandments, and  his  judgements,  and    his  statutes, 

12  which  I  command  thee  this  day :  lest  when  thou 
hast  eaten  and  art  full,  and  hast  built  goodly  houses, 

1  3  and  dwelt  therein  ;  and  when  thy    herds   and    thy 

flocks    multiply,    and    thy    silver   and   thy    gold   is 
multiplied,  and  all  that  thou   hast   is    multiplied ; 

14  then  thine  heart  be  lifted  up,  and  thou  forget  the 
Lord  thy  God,  which  brought  thee  forth  out  of  the 

15  land  of  E'gypt,  out  of  the  house  of  bondage ;  who 
led  thee  through  the  great  and  terrible  wilderness, 
wherein  were  fiery  serpents  and  scorpions,  and 
thirsty  ground  where  was  no    water ;  who  brought 

16  thee  forth  water  out  of  the  rock  of  flint ;  who  fed 
thee  in  the  wilderness  with  manna,  which  thy  fathers 
knew  not ;  that  he  might  humble  thee,  and  that  he 
might  prove  thee,  to  do    thee    good   at   thy    latter 

17  end  :  and  thou  say  in  thine  heart.  My  power  and  the 
might  of  mine  hand  hath  gotten   me   this   wealth

18  But  thou  shalt  remember  the  Lord  thy  God ;  'for  it  is 
he  that  giveth  thee  power  to  get  wealth,  "that  he  may 
establish  his  covenant  which  he  sware  unto  thy  fathers,  as 
it  is  this  day. 

19  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  do  at  all  forget  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  walk  after  other  gods,  and  serve  them,  and  worship  them, 
''I  testify  against  you  this  day  that  ye  shall  surely  perish. 

20  As  the  nations  which  the  Lord  destroyeth  before  your 
face,  ''so  shall  ye  perish ;  because  ye  would  not  be  obedient 
unto  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God. 

CHAF'TER  IX. 

Moses  dissuadeth  them  from  the  opinion  of  their  own  righteousness. 

HEAR,  O  Is'ra-el :  Thou  art  to  "pass  over  Jor'dan  this 
day,  to  go  in  to  possess  nations  'greater  and  mightier 
than  thyself,  cities  great  and  ''fenced  up  to  heaven, 

2  A  people  great  and  tall,  ''the  children  of  the  An'a-kim, 
whom  thou  knowest,  and  of  whom  thou  hast  heard  say, 
Who  can  stand  before  the  children  of  A'nak ! 

3  Understand  therefore  this  day,  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
is  he  which  'goeth  over  before  thee ;  as  a  •'consuming  fire 
"he  shall  destroy  them,  and  he  shall  bring  them  down  before 
thy  face :  *so  shalt  thou  drive  them  out,  and  destroy  them 
quickly,  as  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  thee. 

4  'Speak  not  thou  in  thine  heart,  after  that  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  cast  them  out  from  befoi-e  thee,  saying,  For  my 
righteousness  the  Lord  hath  brought  me  in  to  possess  this 
land :  but  *for  the  wickedness  of  these  nations  the  Lord 
doth  drive  them  out  from  before  thee. 

5  'Not  for  thy  righteousness,  or  for  the  uprightness  of 
thine  heart,  dost  thou  go  to  possess  their  land :  but  for  the 
wickedness  of  these  nations  the  Lord  thy  God  doth  drive 
them  out  from  before  thee,  and  that  he  may  perform  ""the 
word  which  the  Lord  sware  unto  thy  fathers,  A'braham, 
I'saac,  and  Ja'cob. 

6  Understand  therefore,  that  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  not  this  good  land  to  possess  it  for  thy  righteousness ; 
for  thou  art  "a  stiffnecked  people. 

7  ^Remember,  and  forget  not,  how  thou  provokedst  the 
Lord  thy  God  to  wrath  in  the  wilderness :  "from  the  day 
that  thou  didst  depart  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  until  ye 
came  unto  this  place,  ye  have  been  rebellious  against  the 
Lord. 

8  Also  "in  Ho'reb  ye  provoked  the  Lord  to  wrath,  so  that 
the  Lord  was  angry  with  you  to  have  destroyed  you. 

9  "When  I  was  gone  up  into  the  mount  to  receive  the 
tables  of  stone,  even  the  tables  of  the  covenant  which  the 
Lord  made  with  you,  then  '1  abode  in  the  mount  forty  days 
and  forty  nights ;  I  neither  did  eat  bread  nor  drink  water : 

10  'And  the  Lord  delivered  unto  me  two  tables  of  stone 
written  with  the  finger  of  God ;  and  on  them  was  written 
according  to  all  the  words  which  the  Lord  spake  with  you 
in  the  mount,  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  'in  the  day  of  the 
assembly. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  forty  days  and  forty 
nights,  that  the  Lord  gave  me  the  two  tables  of  stone,  even 
the  tables  of  the  covenant. 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  "Arise,  get  thee  down 
quickly  from  hence  ;  for  thy  people  which  thou  hast  brought 
forth  out  of  E'gypt  have  corrupted  themselves;  they  are 
"'quickly  turned  aside  out  of  the  way  which  I  commanded 
them ;  they  have  made  them  a  molten  image. 

13  Furthermore  "the  Lord  spake  unto  me,  saying,  I  have 
seen  this  people,  and,  behold,  'it  is  a  stiffnecked  people : 

14  "Let  me  alone,  that  I  may  destroy  them,  and  *blot  out 
their  name  from  under  heaven :  "and  I  will  make  of  thee  a 
nation  mightier  and  greater  than  they. 

15  ''So  I  turned  and  came  down  from  the  mount,  and  'the 
mount  burned  with  fire  :  and  the  two  tables  of  the  covenant 
\were  in  my  two  hands. 


18  But  thou  shalt  remember  the  Lord  thy  God,  for  it 
is  he  that  giveth  thee  power  to  get  wealth ;  that  he 
may  establish  his  covenant  which   he   sware   unto 

19  thy  fathers,  as  at  this  day.  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou 
shalt  forget  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  walk  after  other 
gods,  and  serve  them,  and  worship  them,  I  testify 

20 against  you  this  day  that  ye  shall  surely  perish.  As 
the  nations  which  the  Lord  maketh  to  perish  before 
you,  so  shall  ye  perish ;  because  ye  would  not  hearken 
unto  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God. 

V  Hear,  O  Is'ra-el :  thou  art  to  pass  over  Jor'dan  this 
day,  to  go  in  to  possess  nations  greater  and  mightier 
than  thyself,  cities  great  and  fenced  up  to    heaven, 

2  a  people  great  and  tall,  the  sons  of  the  An'a-kim, 
whom  thou  knowest,  and  of  whom  thou  hast  heard 

3  say,Who  can  stand  before  the  sons  of  A'nak  ?  Know 
therefore  this  day,  that  the  Lord  thy  God  is  he 
which  goeth  over  before  thee  as  a  devouring  fire ; 
he  shall  destroy  them,  and  he  shall  bring  them 
down  before  thee:  so  shalt  thou  drive  them  out, 
and  make  them  to  perish  quickly,  as  the  Lord  hath 

4  spoken  unto  thee.  Speak  not  thou  in  thine  heart, 
after  that  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  thrust  them  out 
from  before  thee,  saying.  For  my  righteousness  the 
Lord  hath  brought  me  in  to  possess  this  land : 
whereas  for    the    wickedness  of  these  nations  the 

5  Lord  doth  drive  them  out  from  before  thee.  Not 
for  thy  righteousness,  or  for  the  uprightness  of  thine 
heart,  dost  thou  go  in  to  possess  their  land :  but  for 
the  wickedness  of  these  nations  the  Lord  thy  God 
doth  drive  them  out  from  before  thee,  and  that  he 
may  establish  the  word  which  the  Lord  sware  unto 
thy  fathers,  to  A'braham,  to   I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob. 

6  Know  therefore,  that  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee 
not  this  good  land  to  possess  it  for  thy  righteous- 

7  ness  ;  for  thou  art  a  stiffnecked  people.  Remember, 
forget  thou  not,  how  thou  provokedst  the  Lord  thy 
God  to  wrath  in  the  wilderness  :  from  the  day  that 
thou  wentest  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  until 
ye  came  unto  this  place,  ye    have  been  rebellious 

8  against  the  Lord.  Also  in  Ho'reb  ye  provoked  the 
Lord  to  wrath,  and  the  Lord  was  angry  with  you 

9  to  have  destroyed  you.  When  I  was  gone  up  into 
the  mount  to  receive  the  tables  of  stone,  even  the 
tables  of  the  covenant  which  the  Lord  made  with 
you,  then  I  abode  in  the  mount  forty  days  and  forty 
nights ;  I  did  neither  eat  bread  nor  drink  water. 

10  And  the  Lord  delivered  unto  me  the  two  tables  of 
stone  written  with  the  finger  of  God ;  and  on  them 
was  written  according  to  all  the  words,  which  the 
Lord  spake  with  you  in  the  mount  out  of  the  midst 

11  of  the  fire  in  the  day  of  the  assembly.  And  it  came 
to  pass  at  the  end  of  forty  days  and  forty  nights, 
that  the  Lord  gave  me  the  two  tables  of  stone,  even 

12  the  tables  of  the  covenant.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  me,  Arise,  get  thee  down  quickly  from  hence ; 
for  thy  people  which  thou  hast  brought  forth  out 
of  E'gypt  have  corrupted  themselves ;  they  are 
quickly  turned  aside  out  of  the  way  which  I  com- 
manded them;    they   have    made    them   a    molten 

13  image.  Furthermore  the  Lord  spake  unto  me, 
saying,  I  have  seen  this  people,  and,  behold,  it  is  a 

14 stiffnecked  people:  let  me  alone,  that  I  may  destroy 
them,  and  blot  out  their  name  from  under  heaven : 
and   I  will   make  of  thee  a   nation    mightier   and 

15 greater  than  they.  Sol  turned  and  came  down  from 
the  mount,  and  the  mount  burned  with  fire :  and 
the  two  tables  of  the  covenant  were  in  my  two  hands.

16  And  ■'^I  looked,  and,  behold,  ye  had  sinned  against  the 
LoKD  your  God,  and  had  made  you  a  molten  calf:  ye  had 
turned  aside  quickly  out  of  the  way  which  the  Lord  had 
commanded  you. 

17  And  I  took  the  two  tables,  and  cast  them  out  of  my 
two  hands,  and  brake  them  before  your  eyes. 

18  And  I  "fell  down  before  the  Lord,  as  at  the  first,  forty 
days  and  forty  nights :  I  did  neither  eat  bread  nor  drink 
water,  because  of  all  your  sins  which  ye  sinned,  in  doing 
wickedly  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

19  ''For  I  was  afraid  of  the  anger  and  hot  displeasure, 
wherewith  the  Lord  was  wroth  against  you  to  destroy  you. 
'But  the  Lord  hearkened  unto  me  at  that  time  also. 

20  And  the  Lord  was  very  angry  with  Aa'ron  to  have 
destroyed  him :  and  I  prayed  for  Aa'ron  also  the  same  time. 

21  And  'I  took  your  sin,  the  calf  which  ye  had  made,  and 
burnt  it  with  fire,  and  stamped  it,  and  ground  it  very  small, 
even  until  it  was  as  small  as  dust:  and  I  cast  the  dust 
thereof  into  the  brook  that  descended  out  of  the  mount. 

22  And  at  'Tab'e-rah,  and  at  "'Mas'sah,  and  at  "Kib'roth- 
hat-ta'a-vah,  ye  provoked  the  Lord  to  wrath. 

23  Likewise  "when  the  Lord  sent  you  from  Ka'desh-bar'- 
ne-a,  saying,  Go  up  and  possess  the  land  which  I  have  given 
you;  then  ye  rebelled  against  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  "ye  believed  him  not,  nor  hearkened 
to  his  voice. 

24  "Ye  have  been  rebellious  against  the  Lord  from  the 
day  that  I  knew  you. 

25  'Thus  I  fell  down  before  the  Lord  forty  days  and  forty 
nights,  as  I  fell  down  at  the  first;  because  the  Lord  had 
said  he  would  destroy  you. 

26  'I  prayed  therefore  unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord 
God,  destroy  not  thy  people  and  thine  inheritance,  which 
thou  hast  redeemed  through  thy  greatness,  which  thou  hast 
brought  forth  out  of  E'gypt  with  a  mighty  hand. 

27  Remember  thy  servants,  A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  Ja'cob ; 
look  not  unto  the  stubbornness  of  this  people,  nor  to  their 
wickedness,  nor  to  their  sin : 

28  Lest  *the  land  whence  thou  broughtest  us  out  say, 
"Because  the  Lord  was  not  able  to  bring  them  into  the 
land  which  he  promised  them,  and  because  he  hated  them, 
he  hath  brought  them  out  to  slay  them  in  the  wilderness. 

29  ^Yet  they  are  thy  people  and  thine  inheritance,  which 
thou  broughtest  out  by  thy  mighty  power  and  by  thy 
stretched  out  arm. 

CHAPTER  X. 

God^s  mercy  in  restoring  the  two  tables,  and  in  continuing  the  priesthood, 

AT  that  time  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  "Hew  thee  two 
tables  of  stone  like  unto  the  first,  and  come  up  unto  me 
into  the  mount,  and  ''make  thee  an  ark  of  wood. 

2  And  I  will  write  on  the  tables  the  words  that  were  in 
the  first  tables  which  thou  brakest,  and  "thou  shalt  put  them 
in  the  ark. 

3  And  I  made  an  ark  of  ''shittim  wood,  and  'hewed  two 
tables  of  stone  like  unto  the  first,  and  went  up  into  the 
mount,  having  the  two  tables  in  mine  hand. 

4  And  -^he  wrote  on  the  tables,  according  to  the  first  writ- 
ing, the  ten  fcommandments,  "which  the  Lord  spake  unto 
you  in  the  mount,  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  ''in  the  day 
of  the  assembly :  and  the  Lord  gave  them  unto  me. 

5  And  I  turned  myself  and  'came  down  from  the  mount, 
and  *put  the  tables  in  the  ark  which  I  had  made ;  'and  there 
they  be,  as  the  Lord  commanded  me. 

6  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  took  their  journey  from 
Be-e'roth  "of  the  children  of  Ja'a-kan  to  "Mo-se'ra :  "there 
Aa'ron  died,  and  there  he  was  buried ;  and  E-le-a'zar  his 
son  ministered  in  the  priest's  office  in  his  stead. 

7  PFrom  thence  they  journeyed  unto  Gud'go-dah;  and 
from  Gud'go-dah  to  Jot'bath,  a  land  of  rivers  of  waters. 


16  And  I  looked,  and,  behold,  ye  had  sinned  against 
the  Lord  your  God;  ye  had  made  you  a  molten 
calf:    ye  had  turned   aside  quickly  out  of  the  way 

17  which  the  Lord  had  commanded  you.  And  I 
took  hold  of  the  two  tables,  and  cast  them  out  of 
my  two  hands,  and  brake  them  before  your  eyes. 

18  And  I  fell  down  before  the  Lord,  as  at  the  first, 
forty  days  and  forty  nights ;  I  did  neither  eat  bread 
nor  drink  water;  because  of  all  your  sin  which  ye 
sinned,  in  doing  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of 

19  the  Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger.  For  I  was 
afraid  of  the  anger  and  hot  displeasure,  wherewith 
the  Lord  was  wroth  against  you  to  destroy  you. 
But  the  Lord   hearkened   unto   me  that  time  also. 

20  And  the  Lord  was  very  angry  with  Aa'ron  to  have 
destroyed  him  :  and  I  prayed  for  Aa'ron  also  the  same 

21  time.  And  I  took  your  sin,  the  calf  which  ye  had 
made,  and  burnt  it  with  fire,  and  stamped  it,  grinding 
it  very  small,  until  it  was  as  fine  as  dust :  and  I  cast 
the  dust  thereof  into  the  brook  that  descended  out 

22  of  the  mount.  And  at  Tab'e-rah,  and  at  Mas'sah, 
and  at  Kib'roth-hat-ta'a-vah,ye  provoked  the  Lord  to 

23  wrath.  And  when  the  Lord  sent  you  from  Ka'desh- 
bar'ne-a,  saying.  Go  up  and  possess  the  land  which  I 
have  given  you ;  then  ye  rebelled  against  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  your  God,  and  ye  believed 

24  him  not,  nor  hearkened  to  his  voice.  Ye  have  been 
rebellious  against    the  Lord  from   the   day  that  I 

25  knew  you.  So  I  fell  down  before  the  Lord  the 
forty  days  and  forty  nights  that  I  fell  down ;  be- 
cause  the  Lord    had   said  he   would   destroy  you 

26  And  I  prayed  unto  the  Lord  and  said,  O  Lord 
God,  destroy  not  thy  people  and  thine  inheritance, 
which  thou  hast  redeemed  through  thy  greatness, 
which  thou  hast  brought  forth  out  of  E'gypt  with  a 

27  mighty  hand.  Remember  thy  servants,  A'bra-ham, 
I'saac,  and  Ja'cob;  look  not  unto  the  stubbornness 
of  this  people,  nor  to  their  wickedness,  nor  to  their 

28  sin :  lest  the  land  whence  thou  broughtest  us  out 
say.  Because  the  Lord  was  not  able  to  bring  them 
into  the  land  which  he  promised  unto  them,  and 
because   he   hated  them,  he  hath  brought  them  out 

29  to  slay  them  ir^  the  wilderness.  Yet  they  are  thy 
people  and  thine  inheritance,  which  thou  brought- 
est out  by  thy  great  power  and  by  thy  stretched 


out  arm.

At  that  time  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Hew  thee 
two  tables  of  stone  like  unto  the  first,  and  come  up 
unto  me  into  the  mount,  and  make  thee  an  ark  of 

2  wood.  And  I  will  write  on  the  tables  the  words 
that   were  on  the  first    tables  which   thou  brakest, 

3  and  thou  shalt  put  them  in  the  ark.  So  I  made  an 
ark  of  acacia  wood,  and  hewed  two  tables  of  stone 
like  unto  the  first,  and    went   up  into  the    mount, 

4  having  the  two  tables  in  mine  hand.  And  he  wrote 
on  the  tables,  according  to  the  first  writing,  the  ten 
'commandments,  which  the  Lord  spake  unto  you 
in  the  mount  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire  in  the  day 
of  the  assembly  :  and  the  Lord  gave  them  unto  me. 

5  And  I  turned  and  came  down  from  the  mount,  and 
put  the  tables  in  the  ark  which   I  had   made ;  and 

6  there  they  be,  as  the  Lord  commanded  me.  (And 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  journeyed. from  ^Be-e'roth 
Be'ne-ja'a-kan  to  Mo-se'rah  :  there  Aa'ron  died,  and 
there  he  was  buried ;    and  E-le-a'zar  his  son   min- 

7istered  in  the  priest's  office  in  his  stead.  From 
thence  they  journeyed  unto  Gud'go-dah  ;  and  from 
Gud'go-dah  to  Jot'ba-thah,  a  land  of  brooks  of  water.

Red  sea  to  overflow  them  as  they  pursued  after  you,  and

10  God  spake  unto  him.)  And  I  stayed  in  the  mount,

Judg.  7.  1, 


the  Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers  to  give  unto  them,  and 
to  their  seed,  "a  land  that  floweth  with  milk  and  honey. 

10  TfFor  the  land,  whither  thou  goest  in  to  pcssess  it,  is 
not  as  the  land  of  E'gypt,  from  whence  ye  came  out,  "where 
thou  sowedst  thy  seed,  and  wateredst  it  with  thy  foot,  as  a 
garden  of  herbs : 

11  "But  the  land,  whither  ye  go  to  possess  it,  is  a  land  of 
hills  and  valleys,  and  drinketh  water  of  the  rain  of  heaven : 

1 2  A  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  fcareth  for :  'the 
eyes  of  the  Lord  thy  God  are  always  upon  it,  from  the 
beginning  of  the  year  even  unto  the  end  of  the  year. 

13  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  ye  shall  hearken  'dili- 
gently unto  my  commandments  which  I  command  you 
this  day,  'to  love  the  Lord  your  God,  and  to  serve  him 
with  all  your  heart  and  with  all  your  soul, 

14  That  'I  will  give  you  the  rain  of  your  land  in  his  due 
season,  "the  first  rain  and  the  latter  rain,  that  thou  mayest 
gather  in  thy  corn,  and  thy  wine,  and  thine  oil. 

15  'And  I  will  fsend  grass  in  thy  fields  for  thy  cattle, 
that  thou  mayest  *eat  and  be  full. 

16  Take  heed  to  yourselves,  'that  your  heart  be  not  de- 
ceived, and  ye  turn  aside,  and  "serve  other  gods,  and  worship 
them; 

17  And  then  'the  Lord's  wrath  be  kindled  against  you, 
and  he  "shut  up  the  heaven,  that  there  be  no  rain,  and  that 
the  land  yield  not  her  fruit;  and  lest  ^ye  perish  quickly 
from  off  the  good  land  which  the  Lord  giveth  you. 

18  ^Therefore  'shall  ye  lay  up  these  my  words  in  your 
heart  and  in  your  soul,  and  -^bind  them  for  a  sign  upon  your 
hand,  that  they  may  be  as  frontlets  between  your  eyes. 

19  "And  ye  shall  teach  them  your  children,  speaking  of 
them  when  thou  sittest  in  thine  house,  and  when  thou 
walkest  by  the  way,  when  thou  liest  down,  and  when  thou 
risest  up. 

20  *And  thou  shalt  write  them  upon  the  door  posts  of 
thine  house,  and  upon  thy  gates : 

21  That  'your  days  may  be  multiplied,  and  the  days  of 
your  children,  in  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware  unto  your 
fathers  to  give  them,  *as  the  days  of  heaven  upon  the  earth. 

22  ^For  if  'ye  shall  diligently  keep  all  these  command- 
ments which  I  command  you,  to  do  them,  to  love  the  Lord 
your  God,  to  walk  in  all  his  ways,  and  ""to  cleave  unto  him ; 

23  Then  will  the  Lord  "drive  out  all  these  nations  from 
before  you,  and  ye  shall  "possess  greater  nations  and 
mightier  than  yourselves. 

24  "Every  place  whereon  the  soles  of  your  feet  shall  tread 
shall  be  yours :  "from  the  wilderness  and  Leb'a-non,  from  the 
river,  the  river  Eu-jihra'tes,  even  unto  the  uttermost  sea  shall 
your  coast  be. 

25  'There  shall  no  man  be  able  to  stand  before  you :  for 
the  Lord  your  God  shall  'lay  the  fear  of  you  and  the  dread 
of  you  upon  all  the  land  that  ye  shall  tread  upon,  'as  he 
hath  said  unto  you. 

26  ^"Behold,  I  set  before  you  this  day  a  blessing  and  a 
curse  : 

27  ""A  blessing,  if  ye  obey  the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  which  I  command  you  this  day  : 

28  And  a  "curse  if  ye  will  not  obey  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord  your  God,  but  turn  aside  out  of  the  way  which  I 
command  you  this  day,  to  go  after  other  gods,  which  ye 
have  not  known. 

29  And  it  shall  came  to  pass,  when  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  brought  thee  in  unto  the  land  whither  thou  goest  to 
possess  it,  that  thou  shalt  put  'the  blessing  upon  mount 
Ger'i-zim,  and  the  curse  upon  mount  E'bal. 

30  Are  they  not  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan,  by  the  way 
where  the  sun  goeth  down,  in  the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites, 
which  dwell  in  the  champaign  over  against  Gil'gal,  "beside 
the  plains  of  Mo'reh? 


the  Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers  to  give  unto  them 
and  to  their  seed,  a   land   flowing  with   milk  and 

10  honey.  For  the  land,  whither  thou  goest  in  to  pos- 
sess it,  is  not  as  the  land  of  E'gypt,  from  whence 
ye  came  out,  where  thou  sowedst  thy  seed,  and 
wateredst  it  with  thy  foot,  as  a  garden  of  herbs: 

11  but  the  land,  whither  ye  go  over  to  possess  it,  is  a 
land  of  hills  and  valleys,  and  drinketh  water  of  the 

12 rain  of  heaven:  a  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
'careth  for ;  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  thy  God  are  al- 
ways upon  it,  from  the  beginning  of  the  year  even 
unto  the  end  of  the  year. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  ye  shall  hearken  dili- 
gently unto  my  commandments  which  I  command 
you  this  day,  to  love  the  Lord  your  God,  and  to 
serve  him  with  all  your  heart  and  with   all  your 

14  soul,  that  I  will  give  the  rain  of  your  land  in  its 
season,  the  former  rain  and  the  latter  rain,  that  thou 
mayest  gather  in  thy  corn,  and  thy  wine,  and  thine 

15  oil.     And  I  will  give  gra.ss  in   thy   fields   for   thy 

16  cattle,  and  thou  shalt  eat  and  be  full.  Take  heed 
to  yourselves,  lest  your  heart  be  deceived,  and  ye 
turn  aside,  and  serve  other  gods,  and  worship  them ; 

17  and  the  anger  of  the  Lord  be  kindled  against  you, 
and  he  shut  up  the  heaven,  that  there  be  no  rain, 
and  that  the  land  yield  not  her  fruit ;  and  ye  perish 
quickly  from  off  the  good   land  which   the   Lord 

18  giveth  you.  Therefore  shall  ye  lay  up  these  my 
words  in  your  heart  and  in  your  soul ;  and  ye  shall 
bind  them  for  a  sign  upon  your  hand,  and  they  shall 

19  be  for  frontlets  between  your  eyes.  And  ye  shall 
teach  them  your  children,  talking  of  them,  when 
thou  sittest  in  thine  house,  and  when  thou  walkest 
by  the  way,  and  when  thou  liest  down,  and  when 

20  thou  risest  up.  And  thou  shalt  write  them  u{X)n 
the  door  posts  of  thine  house,  and  upon  thy  gates : 

21  that  your  days  may  be  multiplied,  and  the  days  of 
your  children,  upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  your  fathers  to  give  them,  as  the  days  of  the 

22  heavens  above  the  earth.  For  if  ye  shall  diligently 
keep  all  this  commandment  which  I  command  you, 
to  do  it ;  ■  to  love  the  Lord  your  God,  to  walk  in  all 

23  his  ways,  and  to  cleave  unto  him ;  then  will  the 
Lord  drive  out  all  these  nations  from  before  you, 
and  ye  shall  possess  nations  greater  and  mightier 

24  than  yourselves.  Every  place  whereon  the  sole  of 
your  foot  shall  tread  shall  be  yours :  from  the  wil- 
derness, and  Leb'a-non,  from  the  river,  the  river 
Eu-phra'tes,  even  unto  the  ^hinder  sea  shall  be  your 

25  border.  There  shall  no  man  be  able  to  stand  be- 
fore you :  the  Lord  your  God  shall  lay  the  fear  of 
you  and  the  dread  of  you  upon  all  the  land  that  ye 
shall  tread  upon,  as  he  hath  spoken  unto  you. 

26  Behold,  I  set  before  you  this  day  a  blessing  and 

27  a  curse ;  the  blessing,  if  ye  shall  hearken  unto  the 
commandments  of  the    Lord  your  God,  which    I 

28  command  you  this  day  :  and  the  curse,  if  ye  shall 
not  hearken  unto  the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  but  turn  aside  out  of  the  way  which  I 
command  you  this  day,  to  go  after  other  gods,  which 
ye  have  not  known. 

29  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  ihe  XiOBD  thy 
God  shall  bring  thee  into  the  land  whither  thou 
goest  to  possess  it,  that  thou  shalt  set  the  bless- 
ing   upon    mount   Ger'i-zim,  and   the   curse    upon 

30  mount  E'bal.  Are  they  not  beyond  Jor'dan,  be- 
hind the  way  of  the  going  down  of  the  sun,  in  the 
land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites  which  dwell  in  the  Ar'a-bah, 
over  against  Gil'gal,  beside  the  'oaks  of  Mo'reh?]

land  which  the  Lord  your  God  givetk  you,  and  ye  shall 
possess  it,  and  dwell  therein. 

32  And  ye  shall  observe  'to  do  all  the  statutes  and  judg- 
ments which  I  set  before  you  this  day. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Monuments  of  idolatry  are  to  be  destroyed — Blood  is  forbidden. 

THESE  "are  the  statutes  and  judgments  which  ye  shall 
observe  to  do  in  the  land,  which  the  Lokd  God  of 
thy  fathers  giveth  thee  to  possess  it,  ''all  the  days  that  ye 
live  upon  the  earth. 

2  ""Ye  shall  utterly  destroy  all  the  places,  wherein  the 
nations  which  ye  shall  ||  possess  served  their  gods,  ''upon 
the  high  mountains,  and  upon  the  hills,  and  under  every 
green  tree : 

3  And  'ye  shall  foverthrow  their  altars,  and  break  their 
pillars,  and  burn  their  groves  with  fire ;  and  ye  shall  hew 
down  the  graven  images  of  their  gods,  and  destroy  the 
names  of  them  out  of  that  place. 

4  -^  Ye  shall  not  do  so  unto  the  Lord  your  God. 

5  But  unto  the  place  which  the  Lord  your  God  shall 
"choose  out  of  all  your  tribes  to  put  his  name  there,  tvtn  unto 
his  habitation  shall  ye  seek,  and  thither  thou  shalt  come : 

6  And  Hhither  ye  shall  bring  your  burnt  offerings,  and 
your  sacrifices,  aud  your  "tithes,  and  heave  offerings  of  your 
hand,  and  your  vows,  and  your  freewill  offerings,  and  the 
firstlings  of  your  herds  and  of  your  flocks  : 

7  And  *there  ye  shall  eat  before  the  Lord  your  God,  and  'ye 
shall  rejoice  in  all  that  ye  put  your  hand  unto,  ye  and  your 
households,  wherein  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed  thee. 

8  Ye  shall  not  do  after  all  the.  things  that  we  do  here  this 
day,  "every  man  Avhatsoever  is  right  in  his  own  eyes. 

9  For  ye  are  not  as  yet  come  to  the  rest  and  to  the  inherit- 
ance which  the  Lord  your  God  giveth  you. 

10  But  when  "ye  go  over  Jor'dan,  and  dwell  in  the  land 
which  the  Lord  your  God  giveth  you  to  inherit,  and  when 
he  giveth  you  rest  from  all  your  enemies  round  about,  so 
that  ye  dwell  in  safety : 

11  Then  there  shall  be  "a  place  Avhich  the  Lord  your  God 
shall  choose  to  cause  his  name  to  dwell  there ;  thither  shall 
ye  bring  all  that  I  command  you ;  your  burnt  offerings,  and 
your  sacrifices,  your  tithes,  and  the  heave  offering  of  your 
hand,  and  all  fyour  choice  vows  which  ye  vow  unto  the 
Lord: 

12  And  "ye  shall  rejoice  before  the  Lord  your  God,  ye,  and 
your  sons,  and  your  daughters,  and  your  menservants,  and 
your  maidservants,  and  the  Le'vite  that  is  within  your  gates ; 
forasmuch  as  *he  hath  no  part  nor  inheritance  with  you. 

13  ''Take  heed  to  thyself  that  thou  offer  not  thy  burnt 
offerings  in  every  place  that  thou  seest : 

14  'But  in  the  place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose  in  one 
of  thy  tribes,  there  thou  shalt  offer  thy  burnt  offerings,  and 
there  thou  shalt  do  all  that  I  command  thee. 

15  Notwithstanding,  'thou  mayest  kill  and  eat  flesh  in  all 
thy  gates,  whatsoever  thy  soul  lusteth  after,  according  to 
the  blessing  of  the  Lord  thy  God  which  he  hath  given  thee : 
"the  unclean  and  the  clean  may  eat  thereof,  ""as  of  the  roe- 
buck, and  as  of  the  hart. 

16  "Only  ye  shall  not  eat  the  blood ;  ye  shall  pour  it  upon 
the  earth  as  water. 

17  %Thou  mayest  not  eat  within  thy  gates  the  tithe  of 
thy  corn,  or  of  thy  wine,  or  of  thy  oil,  or  the  firstlings 
of  thy  herds  or  of  thy  flock,  nor  any  of  thy  vows  which 
thou  vowest,  nor  thy  freewill  offerings,  or  heave  offering 
of  thine  hand  : 

18  'But  thou  must  eat  them  before  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
the  place  which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose,  thou,  and 
thy  son,  and  thy  daughter,  and  thy  manservant,  and  thy 
maidservant,  and  the  Le'vite  that  is  within  thy  gates :  and 


31  For  ye  are  to  pass  over  Jor'dan  to  go  in  to  possess 
the  land  which  the  Lord  your  God  giveth  you,  and 

32  ye  shall  possess  it,  and  dwell  therein.  And  ye  shall 
observe  to  do  all  the  statutes  and  the  judgements 
which  I  set  before  you  this  day. 

i-^  These  are  the  statutes  and  the  judgements,  which 
ye  shall  observe  to  do  in  the  land  which  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  thy  fathers,  hath  given  thee  to  possess 

2  it,  all  the  days  that  ye  live  upon  the  earth.  Ye  shall 
surely  destroy  all  the  places,  wherein  the  nations 
which  ye  shall  possess  served  their  gods,  upon  the 
high  mountains,  and  upon  the  hills,  and  under  every 

3 green  tree:  and  ye  shall  break  down  their  altars, 
and  dash  in  pieces  their  'pillars,  and  burn  their 
Ash'er-im  with  fire;  and  ye  shall  hew  down  the 
graven  images  of  their  gods ;  and  ye  shall  destroy 

4  their  name  out  of  that  place.     Ye  shall  not  do  so 

5  unto  the  Lord  your  Gocf.  But  unto  the  place  which 
the  Lord  your  God  shall  choose  out  of  all  your 
tribes  to  put  his  name  there,  even  unto  his  habita- 
tion   shall  ye  seek,  and   thither  thou   shalt  come  : 

6  and  thither  ye  shall  bring  your  burnt  offerings,  and 
your  sacrifices,  and  your  tithes,  and  the  heave  offer- 
ing of  your  hand,  and  your  vows,  and  your  freewill 
offerings,  and  the  firstlings  of  your  herd  and  of  your 

7  flock :  and  there  ye  shall  eat  before  the  Lord  your 
God,  and  ye  shall  rejoice  in  all  that  ye  put  your 
hand  unto,  ye    and  your  households,  wherein   the 

8  Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed  thee.  Ye  shall  not  do 
after  all  the  things  that  we  do  here  this  day,  every 

9  man  whatsoever  is  right  in  his  own  eyes :  for  ye  are 
not  as  yet  come  to  the  rest  and  to  the  inheritance, 

10  which  the  Lord  your  God  giveth  thee.  But  when 
ye  go  over  Jor'dan,  and  dwell  in  the  lard  which  the 
Lord  your  God  causeth  you  to  inherit,  and  he 
giveth  you  rest  from  all  your  enemies  round  about, 

11  so  that  ye  dwell  in  safety ;  then  it  shall  come  to 
pass  that  the  place  which  the  Lord  your  God  shall 
choose  to  cause  his  name  to  dwell  there,  thither 
shall  ye  bring  all  that  I  command  you;  your  burnt 
offerings,  and  your  sacrifices,  your  tithes,  and  the 
heave  offering  of  your  hand,  and  all  your  choice 

12 vows  which  ye  vow  unto  the  Lord:  and  ye  shall 
rejoice  before  the  Lord  your  God,  ye,  and  your 
sons,  and  your  daughters,  and  your  menservants, 
and  your  maidservants,  and  the  Le'vite  that  is  within 
your  gates,  forasmuch  as  he  hath  no  portion  nor  in- 

13heritance  with  you.  Take  heed  to  thyself  that  thou 
offer  not  thy  burnt  offerings  in  every  place  that  thou 

14  seest :  but  in  the  place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose 
in  one  of  thy  tribes,  there  thou  shalt  offer  thy  burnt 
offerings,  and  there  thou  shalt  do  all  that  I  command 

15  thee.  Notwithstanding  thou  mayest  kill  and  eat 
flesh  within  all  thy  gates,  after  all  the  desire  of  thy 
soul,  according  to  the  blessing  of  the  Lord  thy 
God  which  he  hath  given  thee  :  the  unclean  and  the 
clean  may  eat  thereof,  a.s  of  the  gazelle,  and  as  of 

16 the  hart.     Only  ye  shall  not  eat  the  blood;  thou 

17  shalt  pour  it  out  upon  the  earth  as  water.  Thou 
mayest  not  eat  within  thy  gates  the  tithe  of  thy 
corn,  or  of  thy  wine,  or  of  thine  oil,  or  the  firstlings 
of  thy  herd  or  of  thy  flock,  nor  any  of  thy  vows  which 
thou  vowest,  nor  thy    freewill   offerings,    nor  the 

18  heave  offering  of  thine  hand:  but  thou  shalt  eat  them 
before  the  Lord  thy  God  in  the  place  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  .shall  choose,  thou,  and  thy  son,  and 
thy  daughter,  and  thy  manservant,  and  thy  maidserv- 
ant, and  the  Le'vite  that  is  within  thy  gates :  and

CHAPTER  XIII. 

Enticers  to  idolatry  stoned  to  death — Idolatrous  cities  not  to  be  spared, 

IF  there    arise  among  you  a  prophet,  or  a  "dreamer  of 
dreams,  ''and  giveth  thee  a  sign  or  a  wonder, 

2  And  ''the  sign  or  the  wonder  come  to  pass,  whereof  he 
spake  unto  thee,  saving.  Let  us  go  after  other  gods,  which 
thou  hast  not  known,  and  let  us  serve  them ; 

3  Thou  shalt  not  hearken  unto  the  words  of  that  prophet, 
or  that  dreamer  of  dreams  :  for  the  Lord  your  God  '^jroveth 
you,  to  know  whether  ye  love  the  Lord  your  God  with  all 
your  heart  and  with  all  your  soul. 

4  Ye  shall  "walk  after  the  Lord  your  God,  and  fear  him, 
and  keep  his  commandments,  and  "obey  his  voice,  and  ye 
shall  serve  him,  and  -^cleave  unto  him. 

5  And  "that  prophet,  or  that  dreamer  of  dreams,  shall  be 
put  to  death;  because  he  hath  fspoken  to  turn  yoii,  away 
from  the  Lord  your  God,  which  brought  you  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  and  redeemed  you  out  of  the  house  of 
bondage,  to  thrust  thee  out  of  the  way  which  the  Lord  thy 


thou  shalt  rejoice  before  the  Lord  thy  God  in  all 

19  that  thou  puttest  thine  hand  unto.  Take  heed  to 
thyself  that  thou  forsake  not  the  Le'vite  as  long  as 
thou  livest  upon  thy  land. 

20  When  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  enlarge  thy  border, 
as  he  hath  promised  thee,  and  thou  shalt  say,  I  will 
eat  flesh,  because  thy  soul  desireth  to  eat  flesh ; 
thou  mayest  eat   flesh,  after   all  the   desire  of  thy 

21  soul.  li"  the  place  which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall 
choose  to  put  his  name  there  be  too  far  from  thee, 
then  thou  shalt  kill  of  thy  herd  and  of  thy  flock, 
which  the  Lord  hath  given  thee,  as  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  and  thou  shalt  eat  within    thy   gates, 

22  after  all  the  desire  of  thy  soul.  Even  as  the  gazelle 
and  as  the  hart  is  eaten,  so  thou  .shalt  eat  thereof: 
the  unclean  and   the  clean  shall  eat  thereof  alike. 

23  Only  be  sure  that  thou  eat  not  the  blood :  for  the 
blood  is  the  life ;  and  thou  shalt  not  eat  the  life  with 

24  the  flesh.     Thou  shalt  not  eat  it ;  thou  shalt  pour  it 

25  out  upon  the  earth  as  water.  Thou  shalt  not  eat 
it;  that  it  may  go  well  with  thee,  and  with  thy 
children  after  thee,  when  thou  shalt  do  that  which 

26  is  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord.  Only  thy  holy 
things  which  thou  liast,  and  thy  vows,  thou  shalt 
take,  and  go  unto  the  place  which  the  Lord  shall 

27  choose :  and  thou  shalt  offer  thy  burnt  offerings, 
the  flesh  and  the  blood,  upon  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  thy  God :  and  the  blood  of  thy  sacrifices 
shall  be  poured  out   upon   the   altar  of  the   Lord 

28  thy  God,  and  thou  shalt  eat  the  flesh.  Observe  and 
hear  all  these  words  which  I  command  thee,  that  it 
may  go  well  with  thee,  and  with  thy  children  after 
thee  for  ever,  when  thou  doest  that  which  is  good 
and  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

29  When  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  cut  off  the  nations 
from  before  thee,  whither  thou  goest  in  to  possess 
them,  and    thou    possessest  them,  and    dwellest   in 

30 their  land;  take  heed  to  thyself  that  thou  be  not 
ensnared 't  ^  follow  them,  after  that  they  be  destroyed 
from  before  thee;  and  that  thou  inquire  not  after 
their  gods,  saying.  How  do  these  nations  serve  their 

31  gods  ■?  ^even  so  will  I  do  likewise.  Thou  shalt  not 
do  so  unto  the  Lord  thy  God :  for  every  abomina- 
tion to  the  Lord,  which  he  hateth,  have  they  done, 
unto  their  gods ;  for  even  their  sons  and  their  daugh- 
ters do  they  burn  in  the  fire  to  their  gods. 

32  What  thing  soever  I  command  you,  that  shall  ye 
observe  to  do:  thou  shalt  not  add  thereto,  nor  di- 
minish from  it. 

i^  If  there  arise  in  the  midst  of  thee  a  prophet,  or 
a  dreamer   of  dreams,  and  he  give  thee  a  sign  or  a 

2  wonder,  and  the  sign  or  the  wonder  come  to  pass, 
whereof  he  spake  unto  thee,  saying,  Let  us  go  after 
other  gods,  which  thou  hast  not  known,  and  let  us 

3 serve  them;  thou  shalt  not  hearken  unto  the  words 
of  that  prophet,  or  unto  that  dreamer  of  dreams: 
for  the  Lord  your  God  proveth  you,  to  know 
whether  ye  love  the  Lord  your  God  with  all  your 

4  heart  and  with  all  your  soul.  Ye  shall  walk  after  tae 
Lord  your  God,  and  fear  him,  and  keep  his  com- 
mandments, and  obey  his  voice,  and  ye  shall  serve 

5  him,  and  cleave  unto  him.  And  that  prophet,  or  that 
dreamer  of  dreams,  shall  be  put  to  death ;  because 
he  hath  spoken  'rebellion  against  the  Lord  your 
God,  which  brought  you  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
and  redeemed  thee  out  of  the  house  of  bondage,  to

that  lendeth  aught  unto  his  neighbour  shall  release  ii;  he

not  the  cud,  he  is  unclean  unto  you :  of  their  flesh  ye 
shall  not  eat,  and  their  carcases  ye  shall  not  touch. 
9  These  ye  shall  eat  of  all  that  are  in  the  waters : 
10 whatsoever  hath  fins  and  scales  shall  ye  eat:  and 
whatsoever  hath  not  fins  and  scales  ye  shall  not  eat ; 
it  is  unclean  unto  you. 

Of  all   clean  birds  ye    may  eat.     But  these  are 
they  of  which  ye  shall  not  eat :  the  'eagle,  and  the 

13  gier  eagle,  and  the  ospray;  and  the  glede,  and  the 

14  falcon,  and  the  kite  after  its  kind  ;  and  every  raven 

15  after  its  kind  ;  and  the  ostrich,  and  the  night  hawk, 
16 and  the  seamew,  and  the   hawk  after  its  kind;  the 

little  owl,  and  the  great  owl,  and  the  horned  owl; 
17 and  the  pelican,  and  the  vulture, and  the  cormorant; 

18  and  the  stork,  and  the  heron  after  its  kind,  and  the 

19  hoopoe,  and  the  bat.  And  all  winged  creeping 
things    are    unclean    unto    you:    they  shall  not  be 

20  eaten.     Of  all  clean  fowls  ye  may  eat. 

21  Ye  shall  not  eat  of  any  thing  that  dieth  of  itself: 
thou  mayest  give  it  unto  the  stranger  that  is  within 
thy  gates,  that  he  may  eat  it;  or  thou  mayest  sell 
it  unto  a  foreigner :  for  thou  art  an  holy  people  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou  shalt  not  seetlie  a  kid  in 
its  mother's  milk, 

22  Thou  shalt  surely  tithe  all  the  increase  of  thy 
seed,  that  which  cometh  forth  of  the  field  year  by 

23  year.  And  thou  shalt  eat  before  the  Lord  thy 
God,  in  the  place  which  he  shall  choose  to  cause 
his  name  to  dwell  there,  the  tithe  of  thy  corn,  of 
thy  wine,  and  of  thine  oil,  and  the  firstlings  of  thy 
herd  and  of  thy  flock ;  that  thou  mayest  learn  to 

24  fear  the  Lord  thy  God  always.  And  if  the  way  be 
too  long  for  thee,  so  that  thou  art  not  able  to  carry 
it,  because  the  place  is  too  far  from  thee,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  choose  to  set  his  name  there, 

25 when  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee:  then 
shalt  thou  turn  it  into  money,  and  bind  up  the 
money  in  thine  hand,  and   shalt  go  unto  the  place 

26 which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose:  and  thou 
shalt  bestow  the  money  for  whatsoever  thy  soul 
desireth,  for  oxen,  or  for  sheep,  or  for  wine,  or  for 
strong  drink,  or  for  whatsoever  thy  soul  asketh  of 
thee :  and  thou  shalt  eat  there  before  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  thou  shalt  rejoice,  thou  and  thine  house- 

27  hold  :  and  the  Le'vite  that  is  within  thy  gates,  thou 
shalt  not  forsake  him;  for  he  hath  no  portion  nor 
inheritance  with  thee. 

28  At  the  end  of  every  three  years  thou  shalt  bring 
forth  ail  the  tithe  of  thine  increase  in  the  same  year, 

29  and  shalt  lay  it  up  within  thy  gates :  and  the  Le'vite, 
because  he  hath  no  portion  nor  inheritance  with 
thee,  and  the  stranger,  and  the  fatherless,  and  the 
widow,  which  are  within  thy  gates,  shall  come,  and 
shall  eat  and  be  satisfied;  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
may  bless  thee  in  all  the  work  of  thine  hand  which 
thou  doest. 

J-0     At  the  end  of  every  seven  years  thou  shalt  make 

2a  release.      And  this  is  the  manner  of  the  release: 

every  creditor  shall  release  that  which  he  hath  lent 

unto  his   neighbour ;    he  shall    not  exact    it  of  his 

neighbour  and    his  brother;   because    the    Lord's 

3  release  hath  been  proclaimed.  Of  a  foreigner  thou 
mayest  exact   it:    but  whatsoever  of  thine  is  with 

4  thy  brother  thine  hand  shall  ^release.  Howbeit 
there  shall  be  no  poor  with  thee ;  (for  the  Lord  will 
surely  bless  thee  in  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee  for  an  inheritance  to  possess  it;)

Lord  thy  God,  to  observe  to  do  all  these  commandments 
which  I  command  thee  this  day. 

6  For  the  Lord  thy  God  blesseth  thee,  as  he  promised 
thee :  and  'thou  shalt  lend  unto  many  nations,  but  thou 
shalt  not  borrow ;  and  ■'thou  shalt  reign  over  many  nations, 
but  they  shall  not  reign  over  thee. 

7  ^If  there  be  among  you  a  poor  man  of  one  of  thy 
brethren  within  any  of  thy  gates  in  thy  land  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  "thou  shalt  not  harden  thine 
heart,  nor  shut  thine  hand  from  thy  poor  brother: 

8  ''But  thou  shalt  open  thine  hand  wide  unto  him,  and  shalt 
surely  lend  him  sufficient  for  his  need,in  that  which  he  wanteth. 

9  Beware  that  there  be  not  a  fthought  in  thy  fwicked 
heart,  saying.  The  seventh  year,  the  year  of  release,  is  at 
hand ;  and  thine  'eye  be  evil  against  thy  poor  brother,  and 
thou  givest  him  nought;  and  *he  cry  unto  the  Lord  against 
thee,  and  'it  be  sin  unto  thee. 

10  Thou  shalt  surely  give  him,  and  "thine  heart  shall  not 
be  grieved  when  thou  givest  unto  him :  because  that  "for 
this  thing  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee  in  all  thy 
works,  and  in  all  that  thou  puttest  thine  hand  unto. 

11  For  "the  poor  shall  never  cease  out  of  the  land :  therefore 
I  command  thee,  saying.  Thou  shalt  open  thine  hand  wide 
unto  thy  brother,  to  thy  poor,  and  to  thy  needy,  in  thy  land. 

12  %And  "if  thy  brother,  a  He'brew  man,  or  a  He'brew 
woman,  be  sold  unto  thee,  and  serve  thee  six  years;  then 
in  the  seventh  year  thou  shalt  let  him  go  free  from  thee. 

1.3  And  when  thou  sendest  him  out  free  from  thee,  thou 
shalt  not  let  him  go  away  empty : 

14  Thou  shalt  furnish  him  liiSerally  out  of  thy  flock,  and  out 
of  thy  floor,  and  out  of  thy  winepress:  of  that  wherewith  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  'blessed  thee  thou  shalt  give  unto  him. 

15  And  ''thou  shalt  remember  that  thou  wast  a  bondman 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  the  Lord  thy  God  redeemed  thee : 
therefore  I  command  thee  this  thing  to-day. 

16  And  it  shall  be,  'if  he  say  unto  thee,  I  will  not  go  away 
from  thee ;  because  he  loveth  thee  and  thine  house,  Decause 
he  is  well  with  thee ; 

17  Then  thou  shalt  take  an  awl,  and  thrust  it  through  his 
ear  unto  the  door,  and  he  shall  be  thy  servant  for  ever. 
And  also  unto  thy  maidservant  thou  shalt  do  likewise. 

18  It  shall  not  seem  hard  unto  thee,  when  thou  sendest 
him  away  free  from  thee ;  for  he  hath  been  worth  'a  double 
hired  servant  to  thee,  in  serving  thee  six  years  :  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee  in  all  that  thou  doest. 

19  ^"All  the  fir-stling  males  that  come  of  thy  herd  and  of 
thy  flock  thou  shalt  sanctify  unto  the  Lord  thy  God :  tbou 
shalt  do  no  work  with  the  firstling  of  thy  bullock,  nor  shear 
the  firstling  of  thy  sheep. 

20  "'Thou  shalt  eat  it  before  the  Lord  thy  God  year  by 
year  in  the  place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose,  thou  and  thy 
household. 

21  "And  if  there  be  any  blemish  therein,  as  if  it  be  lame, 
or  blind,  or  have  any  ill  blemish,  thou  shalt  not  sacrifice  it 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God. 

22  Thou  shalt  eat  it  within  thy  gates :  'the  unclean  and  the 
clean  person  shall  eat  it  alike,  as  the  roebuck,  and  as  the  hart. 

23  "Only  thou  shalt  not  eat  the  blood  thereof;  thou  shalt 
pour  it  upon  the  ground  as  water.

OBSERVE  the  "month  of  A'bib,  and  keep  the  pa.s.sover 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God  :  for  ''in  the  month  of  A'bib  the 
Lord  thy  God  brought  thee  forth  out  of  E'gypt  "^by  night. 

2  Thou  shalt  therefore  .sacrifice  the  passover  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God,  of  the  flock  and  ''the  herd,  in  the  'place  which  the 
Lord  shall  choose  to  place  his  name  there.

6ment  which  I  command  thee  this  day.  For  the 
Lord  thy  God  will  bless  thee,  as  he  promised  thee : 
and  thou  shalt  lend  unto  many  nations,  but  thou 
shalt  not  borrow;  and  thou  shalt  rule  over  many 
nations,  but  they  shall  not  rule  over  thee.

brethren,  within  any  of  thy  gates  in  thy  land  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  thou  shalt  not  harden 
thine    heart,  nor   shut  thine    hand    from    thy  poor

him,  and  shalt  surely  lend  him  sufficient  for  his  need

thine  heart  shall  not  be  grieved  when  thou  givest  un-

shall  bless  thee  in  all  thy  work,  and  in  all  that  thou 

11  puttest  thine  hand  unto.  For  the  poor  shall  never

saying.  Thou  shalt  surely  open  thine  hand  unto  thy

15  unto  him.  And  thou  shalt  remember  that  thou  wast 
a  bondman  in  the  laud  of  E'gypt,  and  the  Lord  thy 
God  redeemed  thee :  therefore  I  command  thee  this 

1 6  thing  to-day.  And  it  shall  be,  if  he  say  unto  thee, 
I  will  not  go  out  from  thee;  because  he  loveth  thee 

17 and  thine  house,  because  he  is  well  with  thee;  then 
thou  slialt  take  an  awl,  and  thrust  it  through  his  ear 
unto  the  door,  and  he  shall  be  thy  'servant  for  ever 
And  also  unto  thy  ^maidservant  thou  shalt  do  like- 

18  wi.se.  It  shall  not  seem  hard  unto  thee,  when  thou  let- 
test  him  go  free  from  thee;  for  to  the  double  of  the  hire 
of  an  hireling  hath  he  served  thee  six  years :  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  .shall  bless  thee  in  all  that  thou  doest. 

19  All  the  firstling  males  that  are  born  of  thy  herd 
and  of  thy  flock  thou  shalt  sanctify  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God  :  thou  shalt  do  no  work  with  the  firstling  of 

20  thine  ox,  nor  shear  the  firstling  of  thy  flock.  Thou 
shalt  eat  it  before  the  Lord  thy  God  year  by  year 
in  the  place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose,  thou  and 

21  thy  household.  And  if  it  have  any  blemish,  as  if  it 
be  lame  or  blind,  any   ill  blemish  whatsoever,  thou 

22  shalt  not  sacrifice  it  unto  the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou 
shalt  eat  it  within  thy  gates;  the  unclean  and  the 
clean  shall  eat  it  alike,  as  the  gazelle,  and  as  the 

23  hart.  Only  thou  shalt  not  eat  the  blood  thereof; 
thou  shalt  pour  it  out  upon  the  ground  as  water. 

4-0  Observe  the  month  of  A'bib,  and  keep  the  pa8.s- 
over  unto  the  Lord  thy  God :  for  in  the  month  of 
A'bib  the  Lord  thy  God  brought  thee  forth  out  of 

2  E'gypt  by  night.  And  thou  shalt  sacrifice  the 
passover  unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  of  the  flock 
and  the  herd,  in  the  place  which  the   Lord    shall 

3  choose  to  cause  his  name  to  dwell  there.  Thou 
shalt  eat  no  leavened  bread  with  it;  seven  days  shalt 
thou  eat  unleavened  bread  tlierewith,  even  the  bread

CHAPTER  XVII. 

The  things  sacrificed  must  be  sound— Idolaters  must  be  slain, 

rPHOU  "shalt  not  sacrifice  unto  the  Loed  thy  God  any 
J-  bullock,  or  ||  sheep,  wherein  is  blemish,  or  any  evil  fa- 
vouredness:  for  that  is  an  abomination  unto  the  Lord  thy  God. 

2  ^'"If  there  be  found  among  you,  within  any  of  thy  gates 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  man  or  woman  that 
hatii  wrought  wickedness  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
"^in  transgressing  his  covenant, 

3  And  hath  gone  and  served  other  gods,  and  worshipped 
them,  either  ''the  sun,  or  moon,  or  any  of  the  host  of 
heaven,  'which  I  have  not  commanded; 

4  ■''And  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou  hast  heard  of  it,  and  in- 
quired diligently,  and,  behold,  it  be  true,  and  the  thing  cer- 
tain, that  such  abomination  is  wrought  in  Is'ra-el  : 

5  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  that  man  or  that  woman, 
which  have  committed  that  wicked  thing,  unto  thy  gates, 
even  that  man  or  that  woman,  and  "shalt  stone  them  with 
stones,  till  they  die. 

6  *At  the  mouth  of  two  witnesses,  or  three  witnesses, 
shall  he  that  is  worthy  of  death  be  put  to  death ;  but  at  the 
mouth  of  one  witness  he  shall  not  be  put  to  death. 

7  "The  hands  of  the  witnesses  shall  be  first  upon  him  to 
put  him  to  death,  and  afterward  the  hands  of  all  the  people. 
So  *thou  shalt  put  the  evil  away  from  among  yon. 

8  ^'If  there  arise  a  matter  too  hard  for  thee  in  judgment, 
"between  blood  and  blood,  between  plea  and  plea,  and  be- 
tween stroke  and  stroke,  being  matters  of  controversy 
within  thy  gates :  then  shalt  thou  arise,  "and  get  thee  up 
into  the  place  which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose ; 

9  And  "thou  shalt  come  unto  the  priests  the  Le'vites,  and 
Punto  the  judge  that  shall  be  in  those  days,  and  inquire; 
'and  they  shall  shew  thee  the  sentence  of  judgment : 

10  And  thou  shalt  do  according  to  the  sentence,  which 
they  of  that  place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose  shall  shew 
thee;  and  thou  shalt  observe  to  do  according  to  all  that 
they  inform  thee: 

11  According  to  the  sentence  of  the  law  which  they  shall 
teach  thee,  and  according  to  the  judgment  which  they  shall 
tell  thee,  thou  shalt  do :  thou  shalt  not  decline  from  the 
sentence  which  they  shall  shew  thee,  to  the  right  hand,  nor 
to  the  left. 

12  And  'the  man  that  will  do  presumptuously,  fand 
Avill  not  hearken  unto  the  priest  'that  standeth  to  minister 
there  before  the  Lord  thy  God,  or  unto  the  judge,  even 
that  man  shall  die :  and  'thou  shalt  put  away  the  evil  from 
Is'ra-el. 

13  "And  all  the  people  shall  hear,  and  fear,  and  do  no  more 
presumptuously. 

14  ^  When  thou  art  come  unto  the  land  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee,  and  shalt  possess  it,  and  shalt  dwell 
therein,  and  shalt  say,  "'I  will  set  a  king  over  me,  like  as  all 
the  nations  that  are  about  me ; 

15  Thou  shalt  in  any  wise  set  him  king  over  thee  "whom 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose:  one  'from  among  thy 
brethren  shalt  thou  set  king  over  thee :  thou  mayest  not 
set  a  stranger  over  thee,  which  is  not  thy  brother. 

16  But  he  shall  not  multiply  "horses  to  himself,  nor  cause 
the  people  Ho  return  to  E'gypt,  to  the  end  that  he  should 
multiply  horses:  forasmuch  as  "the  Lord  hath  said  unto 
you,  ''Ye  shall  henceforth  return  no  more  that  way. 

17  Neither  shall  he  multiply  wives  to  himself,  that  'his 
heart  turn  not  away:  neither  shall  he  greatly  multiply  to 
himself  silver  and  gold.

kingdom,  that  he  shall  write  him  a  copy  of  this  law  in  a 
book  out  of  'that  which  is  before  the  priests  the  Le'vites.

Thou  shalt  not  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  thy  God 
an  ox,  or  a  sheep,  wherein  is  a  blemish,  or  any  evil- 
favouredness :  for  that  is  an  abomination  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God. 

2  If  there  be  found  in  the  midst  of  thee,  within  any 
of  thy  gates  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee, 
man  or  woman,  that  doeth  that  which  is  evil  in  the 
sight   of  the   Lord  thy  God,  in  transgressing  his 

3  covenant,  and  hath  gone  and  served  other  gods, 
and  worshipped  them,  or  the  sun,  or  the  moon,  or 
any  of  the  host  of  heaven,  which  I  have  not  com- 

4  manded ;  and  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou  hast  heard 
of  it,  then  shalt  thou  inquire  diligently,  and,  behold, 
if  it  be  true,  and  the  thing  certain,  that  such  abomi- 

6  nation  is  wrought  in  Is'ra-el ;  then  shalt  thou  bring 
forth  that  man  or  that  woman,  which  have  done  this 
evil  thing,  unto  thy  gates,  even  the  man  or  the  woman ; 
and  thou  shalt  stone  them  with  stones,  that  they  die 

6  At  the  mouth  of  two  witnesses,  or  three  witnesses, 
shall  he  that  is  to  die  be  put  to  death ;  at  the  mouth 

7  of  one  witness  he  shall  not  be  put  to  death.  The  hand 
of  the  witnesses  shall  be  first  upon  him  to  put  him  to 
death,  and  afterward  the  hand  of  all  the  people.  So 
thou  shalt  put  away  the  evil  from  the  midst  of  thee. 

8  If  there  arise  a  matter  too  hard  for  thee  in  judge- 
ment, between  blood  and  blood,  between  plea  and 
plea,  and  between  stroke  and  stroke,  being  matters 
of  controversj'  within  thy  gates:  then  shalt  thou 
arise,  and   get  thee   up  unto  the  place  which  the 

9 Lord  thy  God  shall  choose;  and  thou  shalt  come 
unto  the  priests  the  Le'vites,  and  unto  the  judge  that 
shall  be  in  those  days :  and  thou  shalt  inquire ;  and 
they  shall  shew  thee  the  sentence  of  judgement : 

10  and  thou  shalt  do  according  to  the  tenor  of  the 
sentence,  which  they  shall  shew  thee  from  that 
place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose ;  and  thou  shalt 
observe  to  do  according  to  all  that  they  shall  teach 

11  thee:  according  to  the  tenor  of  the  law  which  they 
shall  teach  thee,  and  according  to  the  judgement 
which  they  shall  tell  thee,  thou  shalt  do :  thou  shalt 
not  turn  aside  fi-om  the  sentence  which  they  shall 

12  shew  thee,  to  the  right  hand,  nor  to  the  left.  And 
the  man  that  doeth  presumptuously,  in  not  hearken- 
ing unto  the  priest  that  standeth  to  minister  there 
before  the  Lord  thy  God,  or  unto  the  judge,  even 
that  man  shall  die:    and  thou  shalt  put  away  the 

13  evil  fi-om  Is'ra-el.  And  all  the  people  shall  hear, 
and  fear,  and  do  no  more  presumptuously. 

14  When  thou  art  come  unto  the  land  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee,  and  shalt  possess  it,  and  shalt 
dwell  therein;  and  shalt  .say,  I  will  set  a  king  over 
me,  like  as  all  the  nations  that  are  round  about  me ; 

15  thou  shalt  in  any  wise  set  him  king  over  thee,  whom 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  choose:  one  from  among 
thy  brethren  shalt  thou  set  king  over  thee:  thou 
mayest  not  put  a  foreigner  over  thee,  which  is  not  thy 

16  brother.  Only  he  shall  not  multiply  horses  to  himself, 
nor  cause  the  people  to  return  to  E'gypt,  to  the  end 
that  he  should  multiply  horses:  forasmuch  as  the 
Lord  hath  said  unto  you,  Ye  shall  henceforth  return 

17  no  more  that  way.  Neither  shall  he  multiply  wives  to 
himself,  that  his  heart  turn  not  away ;  neither  shall  he 

18  greatly  multiply  to  himself  silver  and  gold.  And  it 
shall  be,  when  he  sitteth  upon  the  throne  of  his  king- 
dom, that  he  shall  wTite  him  a  copy  of  this  law  in  a 
book,  out  of  that  which  is  before  the  priests  the  Le'- 

19  vites :  and  it  shall  be  with  him,  and  he  shall  read  there- 
in all  the  days  of  his  life  :  that  he  may  learn  to  fear  the

Lord  his  God,  to  keep  all  the  words  of  this  law  and  these 
statutes,  to  do  them : 

20  That  his  heart  be  not  lifted  up  above  his  brethren,  and 
that  he  'turn  not  aside  from  the  commandment,  to  the  right 
hand,  or  to  the  left :  to  the  end  that  he  may  prolong  his 
days  in  his  kingdom,  he,  and  his  children,  in  the  midst  of 
Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

The  Lord  is  the  priests^  inheritance— Christ  the  prophet  is  to  be  heard. 

THE  priests  the  Le'vites,  and  all  the  tribe  of  Le'vi,  ".shall 
have  no  part  nor  inheritance  with  Is'ra-el :  they  ''shall  eat 
the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire,  and  his  inheritance. 

2  Therefore  shall  theyhave  no  inheritance  among  their  breth- 
ren :  the  Lord  is  their  inlieritance,  as  he  hath  said  unto  them. 

3  ^And  this  shall  be  the  priest's  due  from  the  people, 
from  them  that  offer  a  sacrifice,  whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep; 
and  "they  shall  give  unto  the  priest  the  shoulder,  and  the 
two  cheeks,  and  the  maw. 

4  ''The  firstfruit  also  of  thy  corn,  of  thy  wine,  and  of  thine 
oil,  and  the  first  of  the  fleece  of  thy  sheep,  shalt  thou  give  him. 

5  For  *the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen  him  out  of  all  thy 
tribes,  -'^to  stand  to  minister  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  him 
and  his  sons  for  ever. 

6  ^And  if  a  Le'vite  come  from  any  of  thy  gates  out  of  all 
Is'ra-el,  where  he  "sojourned,  and  come  with  all  the  desire 
of  his  mind  *unto  the  place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose ; 

7  Then  he  shall  minister  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  his 
God,  'as  all  his  brethren  the  Le'vites  do,  which  stand  there 
before  the  Lord. 

8  They  shall  have  like  *portion8  to  eat,  besides  fthat 
which  cometh  of  the  sale  of  his  patrimony. 

9  ^When  thou  art  come  into  the  land  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee,  'thou  shalt  not  learn  to  do  after  the 
abominations  of  those  nations. 

10  There  shall  not  be  found  among  you  any  one  that  maketh. 
his  son  or  his  daughter  "'to  pass  through  the  fire,"or  that  useth 
divination,  or  an  observer  of  times,  or  an  enchanter,  or  a  witch, 

11  "Or  a  charmer,  or  a  consulter  with  familiar  spirits,  or 
a  wizard,  or  a  "necromancer. 

12  For  all  that  do  these  things  are  an  abomination  unto 
the  Lord:  and  'because  of  these  abominations  the  Lord 
thy  God  doth  drive  them  out  from  before  thee. 

13  Thou  shalt  be  ||  perfect  with  the  Lord  thy  God. 

14  For  these  nations,  which  thou  shalt  ||  possess,  heark- 
ened unto  observers  of  times,  and  unto  diviners :  but  as  for 
thee,  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  not  suffered  thee  so  to  do. 

15  ^'The  Lord  thy  God  will  raise  uj)  unto  thee  a  Prophet 
from  the  midst  of  thee,  of  thy  brethren,  like  unto  me ;  unto 
him  ye  shall  hearken ; 

16  According  to  all  that  thou  desiredst  of  the  Lord  thy 
God  in  Ho'reb  'in  the  day  of  the  assembly,  saying,  'Let  me 
not  hear  again  the  voice  of  the  Lord  my  God,  neither  let 
me  see  this  great  fire  any  more,  that  I  die  not. 

17  And  the  Lord  .said  unto  me,  "They  have  well  spoken 
that  which  they  have  spoken. 

18  ""I  will  raise  them  up  a  Prophet  from  among  their  breth- 
ren, like  unto  thee,  and  "will  put  my  words  in  his  mouth ;  'and 
he  shall  speak  unto  them  all  that  I  shall  command  him. 

19  "And  it  shall  came  to  pass,  that  whosoever  will  not 
hearken  unto  my  words  which  he  shall  speak  in  my  name, 
I  will  require  it  of  him. 

,20  But  'the  prophet,  which  shall  presume  to  speak  a  word 
in  my  name,  which  I  have  not  commanded  him  to  speak, 
or  "that  shall  speak  in  the  name  of  other  gods,  even  that 
prophet  shall  die. 

21  And  if  thou  say  in  thine  heart.  How  shall  we  know  the 
word  which  the  Lord  hath  not  spoken  ? 

22  ''When  a  prophet  speaketh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
'if  the  thing  follow  not,  nor  come  to  pass,  that  is  the  thing 


Lord  his  God,  to  keep  all  the  words  of  this  law 
20  and  these  statutes,  to  do  them :  that  his  heart  be 
not  lifted  up  above  his  brethren,  and  that  he  turn 
not  aside  from  the  commandment,  to  the  right  hand, 
or  to  the  left :  to  the  end  that  he  may  prolong  his 
days  in  his  kingdom,  he  and  his  children,  in  the 
midst  of  Is'ra-el. 

iO  The  priests  the  Le'vites,  ^even  all  the  tribe  of  Levi, 
shall  have  no  portion  nor  inheritance  with  Is'ra-el : 
they  shall  eat  the  offerings  of  the  Lord   made   by 

2  fire,  and  his  inheritance.  And  they  shall  have  no 
inheritance  among  their  brethren  :  the  Lord  is  their 

3  inheritance,  as  he  hath  spoken  unto  them.  And 
this  shall  be  the  priests'  due  from  the  people,  from 
them  that  offer  a  sacrifice,  whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep, 
that  they  shall  give  unto  the  priest  the  shoulder, 

4  and  the  two  cheeks,  and  the  maw.  The  firstfruits  of 
thy  corn,  of  thy  wine,  and  of  thine  oil,  and  the  first 

5  of  the  fleece  of  thy  sheep,  shalt  thou  give  him.  For 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen  him  out  of  all  thy 
tribes,  to  stand  to  minister  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
him  and  his  sons  for  ever. 

6  And  if  a  Le'vite  come  from  any  of  thy  gates  out  of 
all  Is'ra-el,  where  he  sojourneth,  and  come  with  all 
the  desire   of  his  soul   unto  the  place   which   the 

7  Lord  shall  choose ;  then  he  shall  minister  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  his  God,  as  all  his  brethren  the 
Le'vites  do,  which   stand  there  before   the   Lord. 

8  They  shall  have  like  portions  to  eat,  beside  that 
which  cometh  of  the  sale  of  his  patrimony. 

9  When  thou  art  come  into  the  land  v/hich  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee,  thou  shalt  not  learn  to  do  after 

10  the  abominations  of  those  nations.  There  shall  not 
be  found  with  thee  any  one  that  maketh  his  son  or 
his  daughter  to  pass  through  the  fire,  one  that  useth 
divination,  one   that   practiseth  augury,  or  an   en- 

11  chanter,  or  a  sorcerer,  or  a  charmer,  or  a  consulter 
with  a  familiar  spirit,  or  a  wizard,  or  a  necromancer. 

12  For  whosoever  doeth  the.se  things  is  an  abomination 
unto  the  Lord  :  and  because  of  these  abominations 
the  Lord  thy  God  doth  drive  them  out  from  before 

13  thee.     Thou  shalt  be   perfect  with   the   Lord  thy 

14  God.  For  these  nations,  which  thou  shalt  possess, 
hearken  unto  them  that  practice  augury,  and  unto 
diviners :    but  as  for  thee,  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 

15  not  suffered  thee  so  to  do.  The  Lord  thy  God  will 
raise  up  unto  thee  a  prophet  from  the  midst  of 
thee,  of  thy  brethren,  like  unto  me;    unto  him  ye 

16 shall  hearken;  according  to  all  that  thou  desiredst 
of  the  Lord  thy  God  in  Ho'reb  in  the  day  ,of  the 
assembly,  saying,  Let  me  not  hear  again  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  my  God,  neither  let  me  see  this  great  fire 

17  any  more,  that  I  die  not.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
They  have  well  said  that  which  they  have  spoken. 

181  will  raise  them  up  a  prophet  from  among  their 
brethren,  like  unto  thee ;  and  I  will  put  my  words 
in  his  mouth,  and  he  shall  speak  unto  them  all  that 

19  I  shall  command  him.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  whosoever  will  not  hearken  unto  my  words 
which  he  shall  speak  in  my  name,  I  will  require  it 

20  of  him.  But  the  prophet,  which  shall  speak  a  word 
presumptuously  in  my  name,  which  I  have  not  com- 
manded him  to  speak,  or  that  shall  speak  in  the 
name   of  other  gods,  that  same  prophet  shall  die. 

21  And  if  thou  say  in  thine  heart.  How  shall  we  know 

22  the  word  which  the  Lord  hath  not  spoken  ?  When 
a  prophet  speaketh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  if  the 
thing  follow  not,  nor  come  to  pass,  that  is  the  thing

CHAPTER  XIX. 

Cities  of  refuge — Two  witnesses  at  the  least — Punishment  of  false  witness. 

WHEN  the  Lord  thy  God  "hath  cut.off  the  nations,  whose 
land  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  and  thou  fsuc- 
ceedest  them,  and  dwellest  in  their  cities,  and  in  their  houses ; 

2  'Thou  shalt  separate  three  cities  for  thee  in  the  midst  of 
thy  land,  which  the  LoRD  thy  God  giveth  thee  to  possess  it. 

3  Thou  shalt  prepare  thee  a  way,  and  divide  the  coasts  of 
thy  land,  which  the  LoRD  thy  God  giveth  thee  to  inherit, 
into  three  parts,  that  every  slayer  may  flee  thither. 

4  ^And  "this  is  the  case  of  the  slayer,  which  shall  flee 
thither,  that  he  may  live:  Whoso  killeth  his  neighbour 
ignorantly,  whom  he  hated  not  fin  time  past ; 

5  As  when  a  man  goeth  into  the  wood  with  his  neighbour 
to  hew  wood,  and  his  hand  fetcheth  r  stroke  with  the  axe 
to  cut  down  the  tree,  and  the  fhead  slippeth  from  the 
fhelve,  and  flighteth  upon  his  neighbour,  that  he  die ;  he 
shall  flee  into  one  of  these  cities,  and  live  : 

6  ''Lest  the  avenger  of  the  blood  pursue  the  slayer,  while 
his  heart  is  hot,  and  overtake  him,  oecause  the  way  is  long, 
and  fslay  him;  whereas  he  was  not  worthy  of  death,  inas- 
much as  he  hated  him  not  fin  time  past. 

7  Wherefore  I  command  thee,  saying.  Thou  shalt  separate 
three  cities  for  thee. 

8  And  if  the  Lord  thy  God  "enlarge  thy  coast,  as  he  hath 
sworn  unto  thy  fathers,  and  give  thee  all  the  land  which  he 
promised  to  give  unto  thy  fathers  ; 

9  If  thou  shalt  keep  all  these  commandments  to  do  them, 
which  I  command  thee  this  day,  to  love  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  to  walk  ever  in  his  ways ;  -^then  shalt  thou  add  three 
cities  more  for  thee,  besides  these  three  : 

10  That  innocent  blood  be  not  shed  in  thy  land,  which 
the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee  for  an  inheritance,  and  so 
blood  be  upon  thee. 

11  "^But  "if  any  man  hate  his  neighbour,  and  lie  in  wait 
for  him,  and  rise  up  against  him,  and  smite  him  fmortally 
that  he  die,  and  fleeth  into  one  of  these  cities : 

12  Then  the  elders  of  his  city  shall  send  and  fetch  him 
thence,  and  deliver  him  into  the  hand  of  the  avenger  of 
blood,  that  he  may  die. 

13  *Thine  eye  shall  not  pity  him,  "but  thou  shalt  put  away 
the  guilt  of  innocent  blood  from  Is'ra-el,  that  it  may  go  well 
with  thee. 

14  ^*Thou  shalt  not  remove  thy  neighbour's  landmark, 
which  they  of  old  time  have  set  in  thine  inheritance,  which 
thou  shalt  inherit  in  the  land  that  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee  to  possess  it. 

15  ^'One  witness  shall  not  rise  up  against  a  man  for  any 
iniquity,  or  for  any  sin,  in  any  sin  that  he  sinneth :  at  the 
mouth  of  two  witnesses,  or  at  the  mouth  of  three  witnesses, 
shall  the  matter  be  established. 

16  ^If  a  false  witness  "rise  up  against  any  man  to  testify 
against  him  jj  that  which  is  wrong  ; 

17  Then  both  the  men,  between  whom  the  controversy  is, 
shall  stand  before  the  Lord,  "before  the  priests  and  the 
judges,  which  shall  be  in  those  days; 

18  And  the  judges  shall  make  diligent  inquisition :  and, 
behold,  if  the  witness  be  a  false  witness,  and  hath  testified 
falsely  against  his  brother ; 

19  "Then  shall  ye  do  unto  him,  as  he  had  thought  to  have 
done  unto  his  brother:  so  "shalt  thou  put  the  evil  away 
from  among  you. 

20  'And  those  which  remain  shall  hear,  and  fear,  and  shall 
henceforth  commit  no  more  any  such  evil  among  you. 

21  'And  thine  eye  shall  not  pity ;  but  'life  shall  go  for  life, 
eye  for  eye,  tooth  for  tooth,  hand  for  hand,  foot  for  foot. 


which  the  Lord  hath  not  spoken :  the  prophet  hath 
spoken  it  presumptuously,  thou  shalt  not  be  afraid 
of  him. 

iv  When  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  cut  off  the  nations, 
whose  land  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  and  thou 
succeedest  them,  and  dwellest  in  their  cities,  and  in 

2  their  houses ;  thou  shalt  separate  three  cities  for 
thee  in  the  midst  of  thy  land,  which  the  Lord  thy 

3  God  giveth  thee  to  possess  it.  Thou  shalt  prepare 
thee  the  way,  and  divide  the  borders  of  thy  land, 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  causeth  thee  to  inherit, 
into    three    parts,    that    every  manslayer   may  flee 

4  thither.  And  this  is  the  case  of  the  manslayer, 
which  shall  flee  thither  and  live :  whoso  killeth  his 
neighbour  unawares,    and    hated  him  not  in   time 

5  past ;  as  when  a  man  goeth  into  the  forest  with  his 
neighbour  to  hew  wood,  and  his  hand  fetcheth  a 
stroke  with  the  axe  to  cut  down  the  tree,  and  the 
'head  .slippeth  from  ^the  helve,  and  lighteth  upon 
his  neighbour,  that  he  die ;  he  shall  flee  unto  one  of 

6  these  cities  and  live  :  lest  the  avenger  of  blood  pur- 
sue the  manslayer,  while  his  heart  is  hot,  and  over- 
take him,  because  the  way  is  long,  and  smite  him 
mortally ;  whereas  he  was  not  worthy  of  death,  in 

7asmuch  as  he  hated  him  not  in  time  past.  Where 
fore  I  command  thee,  saying,  Thou  shalt  separate 

8  three  cities  for  thee.  And  if  the  Lord  thy  God  en- 
large thy  border,  as  he  hath  sworn  unto  thy  fathers 
and  give  thee  all  the  land  which  he  promised  to 

9 give  unto  thy  fathers;  if  thou  shalt  keep  all  this 
commandment  to  do  it,  which  I  command  thee  this 
day,  to  love  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  to  walk  ever  in 
his  ways ;  then  shalt  thou  add  three  cities  more  for 

10  thee,  beside  these  three:  that  ^innocent  blood  be  not 
shed  in  the  midst  of  thy  land,  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee  for  an  inheritance,  and  so  blood  be 

11  upon  thee.  But  if  any  man  hate  his  neighbour,  and 
lie  in  wait  for  him,  and  rise  up  against  him,  and 
smite  him  mortally  that   he   die;  and  he  flee  into 

12  one  of  these  cities  :  then  the  elders  of  his  city  shall 
send  and  fetch  him  thence,  and  deliver  him  into  the 
hand  of  the  avenger  of  blood,  that  he   may   die. 

13  Thine  eye  shall  not  pity  him,  but  thou  shalt  put 
away  *the  innocent  blood  from  Is'ra-el,  that  it  may 
go  well  with  thee. 

14  Thou  shalt  not  remove  thy  neighbour's  landmark, 
which  they  of  old  time  have  set,  in  thine  inheritance 
which  thou  shalt  inherit,  in  the  land  that  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee  to  possess  it. 

15  One  witness  shall  not  rise  up  against  a  man  for 
any  iniquity,  or  for  any  sin,  in  any  sin  that  he 
sinneth:  at  the  mouth  of  two  witnesses,  or  at  the 
mouth  of  three  witnesses,  shall  a  matter  be  estab- 

16  lished.  If  an  unrighteous  witness  rise  up  against 
any  man  to   testify  against  him  of  Vrong  doing ; 

17  then  both  the  men,  betv/een  whom  the  controversy 
is,  shall  stand  before  the  Lord,  before   the  priests 

18 and  the  judges  which  shall  be  in  those  days;  and 
the  judges  shall  make  diligent  inquisition  :  and,  be- 
hold, if  the   witness  be  a  false   witness,  and  hath 

19 testified  falsely  against  his  brother;  then  shall  ye  do 
unto  him,  as  he  had  thought  to  do  unto  his  brother : 
so  shalt  thou  put  away  the  evil  from  the  midst  of 

20  thee.  And  those  which  remain  shall  hear,  and  fear, 
and  shall  henceforth  commit  no  more  any  such  evil 

21  in  the  midst  of  thee.  And  thine  eye  shall  not  pity ; 
life  shall  go  for  life,  eye  for  eye,  tooth  for  tooth, 
hand  for  hand,  foot  for  foot.

CHAPTER  XX. 

The  priest's  exhortation  to  encourage  the  people  to  battle. 

WHEN  thou  goest  out  to  battle  against  thine  enemies, 
and  seest  "horses,  and  chariots,  and  a  people  more  than 
thou,  be  not  afraid  of  them :  for  the  Lord  thy  God  is  ''with 
thee,  which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  when  ye  are  come  nigh  unto  the  battle, 
that  the  priest  shall  approach  and  speak  unto  the  people. 

3  And  shall  say  unto  them,  Hear,  O  Is'ra-el,  ye  approach 
this  day  unto  battle  against  your  enemies :  let  not  your 
hearts  ffaint,  fear  not,  and  do  not  ftremble,  neither  be  ye 
terrified  because  of  them ; 

4  For  the  Lord  your  God  is  he  that  goeth  with  you,  "^o 
fight  for  you  against  your  enemies,  to  save  you. 

5  %^And  the  officers  shall  speak  unto  the  people,  saying. 
What  man  is  there  that  hath  built  a  new  house,  and  hath  not 
''dedicated  it  ?  let  him  go  and  return  unto  his  house,  lest  he 
die  in  the  battle,  and  another  man  dedicate  it. 

6  And  what  man  is  he  that  hath  planted  a  vineyard,  and 
hath  not  yet  featen  of  it?  let  him  also  go  and  return 
unto  his  house,  lest  he  die  in  the  battle,  and  another  man 
eat  of  it. 

7  'And  what  man  is  there  that  hath  betrothed  a  wife,  and 
hath  not  taken  her  ?  let  him  go  and  return  unto  his  house, 
lest  he  die  in  the  battle,  and  another  man  take  her. 

8  And  the  officers  shall  speak  further  unto  the  people,  and 
they  shall  say, -''What  man  is  there  that  is  fearful  and  faint- 
hearted ?  let  him  go  and  return  unto  his  house,  lest  his 
brethren's  heart  ffaint  as  well  as  his  heart. 

9  And  it  shall  be,  when  the  officers  have  made  an  end  of 
speaking  unto  the  people,  that  they  shall  make  captains  of 
the  armies  fto  lead  the  people. 

10  ^When  thou  comest  nigh  unto  a  city  to  fight  against 
it,  "then  proclaim  peace  unto  it. 

11  And  it  shall  be,  if  it  make  thee  answer  of  peace,  and 
open  unto  thee,  then  it  shall  be,  that  all  the  people  that  is 
found  therein  shall  be  tributaries  unto  thee,  and  they  shall 
serve  thee. 

12  And  if  it  will  make  no  peace  with  thee,  but  will  make 
war  against  thee,  then  thou  shalt  besiege  it : 

13  And  when  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  delivered  it  into 
thine  hands,  Hhou  shalt  smite  every  male  thereof  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword: 

14  But  the  women,  and  the  little  ones,  and  the  cattle,  and 
all  that  is  in  the  city,  even  all  the  spoil  thereof,  shalt  thou 
ftake  unto  thyself;  and  *thou  shalt  eat  the  spoil  of  thine 
enemies,  which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  given  thee. 

15  Thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  all  the  cities  which  are  very 
far  off  from  thee,  which  are  not  of  the  cities  of  these  nations. 

16  But  'of  the  cities  of  these  people  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  doth  give  thee  for  an  inheritance,  thou  shalt  save  alive 
nothing  that  breatheth : 

17  But  thou  shalt  utterly  destroy  them;  namely,  the 
Hit'tites,  and  the  Am'o-rites,  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Per'iz- 
zites,  the  Hi'vites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  as  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  commanded  thee : 

18  That  "they  teach  you  not  to  do  after  all  their  abomina- 
tions, which  they  have  done  unto  their  gods ;  so  should  ye 
"sin  against  the  Lord  your  God. 

19  ^When  thou  shalt  besiege  a  city  a  long  time,  in 
making  war  against  it  to  take  it,  thou  shalt  not  destroy  the 
trees  thereof  by  forcing  an  axe  against  them  :  for  thou 
mayest  eat  of  them ;  and  thou  shalt  not  cut  them  down 
(II  for  the  tree  of  the  field  is  man's  life)  fto  employ  thefm  in 
the  siege: 

20  Only  the  trees  which  thou  knowest  that  they  be  not 
trees  for  meat,  thou  shalt  destroy  and  cut  them  down ;  and 
thou  shalt  build  bulwarks  against  the  city  that  maketh  war 
with  thee,  until  fit  be  subdued. 


'4U  When  thou  goest  forth  to  battle  against  thine 
enemies,  and  seest  horses,  and  chariots,  and  a 
people  more  than  thou,  thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  of 
them:  for  the  Lord  thy  God  is  with  thee,  which 

2  brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  it 
shall  be,  when  ye  draw  nigh  unto  the  battle,  that 
the  priest  shall  approach  and  speak  unto  the  people. 

Sand  shall  say  unto  them.  Hear,  O  Is'ra-el,  ye  draw 
nigh  this  day  unto  battle  against  your  enemies :  let 
not  your  heart  faint;  fear  not,  nor  tremble,  neither 

4 be  ye  affrighted  at  them;  for  the  Lord  your  God  is 
he  that    goeth   with  you,  to  fight    for   you  against 

5  your  enemies,  to  save  you.  And  the  officers  shall 
speak  unto  the  people,  saying.  What  man  is  there 
that  hath  built  a  new  house,  and  hath  not  dedicated 
it?  let  him  go  and  return  to  his  house,  lest  he  die 

6  in  the  battle,  and  another  man  dedicate  it.  And 
what  man  is  there  that  hath  planted  a  vineyard,  and 
hath  not  'used  the  fruit  thereof?  let  him  go  and 
return  unto  his  house,  lest  he  die  in  the  battle,  and 

7  another  man  use  the  fruit  thereof.  And  what  man 
is  there  that  hath  betrothed  a  wife,  and  hath  not 
taken  her?  let  him  go  and  return  unto  his  house, 
lest  he  die  in  the  battle,  and  another  man  take  her. 

8  And  the  officers  shall  speak   further  unto  the  peo- 

f)le,  and  they  shall  say,  What  man  is  there  that  is 
earful  and  fainthearted  ?  let  him  go  and  return  unto 
his  house,  lest  his  brethren's  heart  melt  as  his  heart. 

9  And  it  shall  be,  when  the  officers  have  made  an  end 
of  speaking  unto  the  people,  that  they  shall  appoint 
captains  of  hosts  at  the  head  of  the  people. 

10  When    thou    drawest    nigh  unto  a  city  to  fight 

11  against  it,  then  proclaim  peace  unto  it.  And  it 
shall  be,  if  it  make  thee  answer  of  peace,  and  open 
unto  thee,  then  it  shall  be,  that  all  the  people  that 
is  found  therein  shall  become  tributary  unto  thee, 

12  and  shall  serve  thee.  And  if  it  will  make  no  peace 
with  thee,  but  will  make  war  against  thee,  then  thou 

13 shalt  besiege  it:  and  when  the  Lord  thy  God  de 
livereth  it  into  thine  hand,  thou  shalt  smite  every 

14  male  thereof  with  the  edge  of  the  sword :  but  the 
women,  and  the  little  ones,  and  the  cattle,  and  all 
that  is  in  the  city,  even  all  the  spoil  thereof,  shalt 
thou  take  for  a  prey  unto  thyself;  and  thou  shalt 
eat  the  spoil  of  thine  enemies,  which  the  Lord  thy 

15  God  hath  given  thee.  Thus  shalt  thou  do  unto  all 
the  cities  which  are  very  far  off  from  thee,  which 

16  are  not  of  the  cities  of  these  nations.  But  of  the 
cities  of  these  peoples,  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee  for  an  inheritance,  thou  shalt  save  alive 

17  nothing  that  breatheth:  but  thou  shalt  'utterly  de- 
stroy them ;  the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  the  Ca'- 
naan-ite,andthe  Per'iz-zite,the  Hi'vite,and  the  Jeb'u- 
site ;  as  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  commanded  thee : 

18  that  they  teach  you  not  to  do  after  all  their  abom- 
inations, which  they  have  done  unto  their  gods ;  so 
should  ye  sin  against  the  Lord  your  God. 

19  When  thou  shalt  besiege  a  city  a  long  time,  in 
making  war  against  it  to  take  it,  thou  shalt  not 
destroy  the  trees  thereof  by  wielding  an  axe  against 
them ;  for  thou  mayest  eat  of  them,  and  thou  shalt 
not  cut  them  down ;  for  is  the  tree  of  the  field  man, 

20  that  it  should  be  besieged  of  thee  ?  Only  the  trees 
which  thou  knowest  that  they  be  not  trees  for  meat, 
thou  shalt  destroy  and  cut  them  down;  and  thou 
shalt  build  bulwarks  against  the  city  that  maketh 
war  with  thee,  until  it  fell.

CHAPTER  XXI. 

A  stubborn  son  is  to  be  stoned  to  death. 

IF  one  be  found  slain   in  the   land  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  giveth  thee  to  possess  it,  lying  in  the  field,  and  it 
be  not  known  who  hath  slain  him : 

2  Then  thy  elders  and  thy  judges  shall  come  forth,  and 
they  shall  measure  unto  the  cities  which  are  round  about 
him  that  is  slain: 

3  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  city  which  is  next  unto  the  slain 
man,  even  the  elders  of  that  city  shall  take  a  heifer,  which  hath 
not  been  wrought  with,  and  which  hath  not  drawn  in  the  yoke; 

4  And  the  elders  of  that  city  shall  bring  down  the  heifer 
unto  a  rough  valley,  which  is  neither  eared  nor  sown,  and 
shall  strike  off  the  heifer's  neck  there  in  the  valley ; 

5  And  the  priests  the  sons  of  Le'vi  shall  come  near ;  for 
*them  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen  to  minister  unto  him, 
and  to  bless  in  the  name  of  the  Lorp  ;  and  ''by  their  f  word 
shall  every  controversy  and  every  stroke  be  tried  : 

6  And  all  the  elders  of  that  city  that  are  next  unto  the 
slain  man,  "shall  wash  their  hands  over  the  heifer  that  is 
beheaded  in  the  valley  : 

7  And  they  shall  answer  and  say.  Our  hands  have  not 
shed  this  blood,  neither  have  our  eyes  seen  it. 

8  Be  merciful,  O  Lord,  unto  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou 
hast  redeemed,  ''and  lay  not  innocent  blood  funto  thy  people 
of  Is'ra-el's  charge.   And  the  blood  shall  be  forgiven  them. 

9  So  'shalt  thou  put  away  the  guilt  of  innocent  blood  from 
among  you,  when  thou  shalt  do  that  which  is  right  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord. 

10  ^When  thou  goest  forth  to  war  against  thine  enemies, 
and  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  delivered  them  into  thine  hands, 
and  thou  hast  taken  them  captive, 

1 1  And  seest  among  the  captives  a  beautiful  woman,and  hast 
a  desire  unto  her,  that  thou  wouldest  have  her  to  thy  wife ; 

12  Then  thou  shalt  bring  her  home  to  thine  house;  and 
she  shall  shave  her  head,  and  Hfpare  her  nails; 

13  And  she  shall  put  the  raiment  of  her  captivity  from  off 
her,  and  shall  remain  in  thine  house,  and  -^bewail  her  father 
and  her  mother  a  full  month :  and  after  that  thou  shalt  go 
in  unto  her,  and  be  her  husband,  and  she  shall  be  thy  wife. 

14  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  have  no  delight  in  her,  then 
thou  shalt  let  her  go  whither  she  will ;  but  thou  shalt  not 
sell  her  at  all  for  money,  thou  shalt  not  make  merchandise 
of  her,  because  thou  hast  "humbled  her. 

15  lyif  a  man  have  two  wives,  one  beloved,  *and  another 
hated,  and  they  have  borne  him  children,  boththe  beloved  and 
the  hated ;  and  if  the  firstborn  son  be  hers  that  was  hated ; 

16  Then  it  shall  be,  "when  he  maketh  his  sons  to  inherit 
that  which  he  hath,  that  he  may  not  make  the  son  of  the 
beloved  firstborn  before  the  son  of  the  hated,  which  is  in- 
deed the  firstborn : 

17  But  he  shall  acknowledge  the  son  of  the  hated  for  the 
firstborn,  *by  giving  him  a  double  portion  of  all  fthat  he 
hath :  for  he  is  "the  beginning  of  his  strength ;  "the  right  of 
the  firstborn  is  his. 

18  ^If  a  man  have  a  stubborn  and  rebellious  son,  which 
will  not  obey  the  voice  of  his  father,  or  the  voice  of  his 
mother,  and  that,  when  they  have  chastened  him,  will  not 
hearken  unto  them: 

19  Then  shall  his  father  and  his  mother  lay  hold  on  him, 
and  bring  him  out  unto  the  elders  of  his  city,  and  unto  the 
gate  of  his  place ; 

20  And  they  shall  say  unto  the  elders  of  his  city,  This  our 
son  is  stubborn  and  rebellious,  he  will  not  obey  our  voice ; 
heis  &  glutton,  and  a  drunkard. 

21  And  all  the  men  of  his  city  shall  stone  him  with  stones, 
that  he  die :  "so  shalt  thou  put  evil  away  from  among  you, 
"and  all  Is'ra-el  shall  hear,  and  fear. 

22  ^And  if  a  man  have  committed  a  sin   "worthy    of 


^-1-   If  one  be  found  slain  in  the  land  which  the  Lord 

thy  God  giveth  thee  to  possess  it,  lying  in  the  field, 

2 and  it  be  not  known  who  hath  smitten  him:  then 

thy  elders  and  thy  judges  shall  come  forth,  and  they 

shall  measure  unto  the  cities  which  are  round  about 

3  him  that  is  slain :  and  it  shall  be,  that  the  city 
which  is  nearest  unto  the  slain  man,  even  the  elders 
of  that  city  shall  take  an  heifer  of  the  herd,  which 
hath  not  been  wrought  with,  and  which  hath  not 

4  drawn  in  the  yoke ;  and  the  elders  of  that  city  shall 
bring  down  the  heifer  unto  a  valley  with  running 
water,  which  is  neither  plowed  nor  sown,  and  shall 

5 break  the  heifer's  neck  there  in  the  valley:  and  the 
priests  the  sons  of  Le'vi  shall  come  near ;  for  them 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen  to  minister  unto 
him,  and  to  bless  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  ;  and 
according  to  their  word  shall  every  controversy  and 

6  every  stroke  be :  and  all  the  elders  of  that  cit}-,  who 
are  nearest  unto  the  slain  man,  shall  wash  their  hands 
over  the  heifer  whose  neck  was  broken  in  the  valley : 

7  and  they  shall  answer  and  say.  Our  hands  have  not 

8  shed  this  blood,  neither  have  our  eyes  seen  it.  For- 
give, O  Lord,  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou  hast 
redeemed,  and  suffer  not  innocent  blood  to  remain  in 
the  midst  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el.  And  the  blood  shall 

9  be  forgiven  them.  So  shalt  thou  put  away  the  in- 
nocent blood  from  the  midst  of  thee,  when  thou  shalt 
do  that  which  is  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord. 

10  When  thou  goest  forth  to  battle  against  thine  en 
emies,  and  the  Lord  thy  God  delivereth  them  into 
thine  hands,  and  thou  carriest  them  away  captive, 

11  and  seest  among  the  captives  a  beautiful  woman,  and 
thou  hast  a  desire  unto  her,  and  wouldest  take  her 

12 to  thee  to  wife;  then  thou  shalt  bring  her  home  to 
thine  house ;  and  she  shall  shave  her  head,  and  pare 

13  her  nails;  and  she  shall  put  the  raiment  of  her  cap- 
tivity from  off  her,  and  shall  remain  in  thine  house, 
and  bewail  her  father  and  her  mother  a  full  month : 
and  after  that  thou  shalt  go  in  unto  her,  and  be  her 

14  husband,  and  she  shall  be  thy  wife.  And  it  shall  be, 
if  thou  have  no  delight  in  her,  then  thou  shalt  let 
her  go  whither  she  will ;  but  thou  shalt  not  sell  her 
at  all  for  money,  thou  shalt  not  deal  with  her  'as  a 
slave,  because  thou  hast  humbled  her. 

15  If  a  man  have  two  wives,  the  one  beloved,  and 
the  other  hated,  and  they  have  borne  him  children, 
both  the  beloved  and  the  hated ;  and  if  the  firstborn 

16 son  be  hers  that  was  hated;  then  it  shall  be,  in  the 
day  that  he  causeth  his  sons  to  inherit  that  which  he 
hath,  that  he  may  not  make  the  son  of  the  beloved 
the  firstborn  ^before  the  son  of  the  hated,  which  is 

17  the  firstborn :  but  he  shall  acknowledge  the  firstborn, 
the  son  of  the  hated,  by  giving  him  a  double  portion 
of  all  that  he  hath :  for  he  is  the  beginning  of  his 
strength;  the  right  of  the  firstborn  is  his. 

18  If  a  man  have  a  stubborn  and  rebellious  son,  which 
will  not  obey  the  voice  of  his  father,  or  the  voice  of 
his  mother,  and  though  they  chasten  him,  will  not 

19 hearken  unto  them:  then  snail  his  father  and  his 
mother  lay  hold  on  him,  and  bring  him  out  unto  the 

20  elders  of  his  city,  and  unto  the  gate  of  his  place ;  and 
they  shall  say  unto  the  elders  of  "his  city.  This  our 
son  is  stubborn  and  rebellious,  he  will  not  obey  our 

21  voice;  he  is  a  riotous  liver,  and  a  drunkard.  And  all 
the  men  of  his  city  shall  stone  him  with  stones,  that 
he  die:  so  shalt  thou  put  away  the  evil  from  the 
midst  of  thee ;  and  all  Is'ra-el  shall  hear,  and  fear.

CHAPTER  XXII. 

Humanity  towards  brethren—Sex  to  be  distinguished  by  apparel— Adultery ,  etc. 

THOU  "shalt  not  see  thy  brother's  ox  or  his  sheep  go 
astray,  and  hide  thyself  from  them  :  thou  shalt  in  any 
case  bring  them  again  unto  thy  brother. 

2  And  if  thy  brother  be  not  nigh  unto  thee,  or  if  thou 
know  him  not,  then  thou  shalt  bring  it  unto  thine  own 
house,  and  it  shall  be  with  thee  until  thy  brother  seek  after 
it,  and  thou  shalt  restore  it  to  him  again. 

3  In  like  manner  shalt  thou  do  with  his  ass ;  and  so  shalt 
thou  do  with  his  raiment ;  and  with  all  lost  things  of  thy 
brother's,  which  he  hath  lost,  and  thou  hast  found,  shalt 
thou  do  likewise :  thou  mayest  not  hide  thyself. 

4  ^''Thou  shalt  not  see  thy  brother's  ass  or  his  ox  fall 
down  by  the  way,  and  hide  thyself  from  them :  thou  shalt 
surely  help  him  to  lift  them  up  again. 

5  HThe  woman  shall  not  wear  that  which  pertaineth  unto 
a  man,  neither  shall  a  man  put  on  a  woman's  garment :  for 
all  that  do  so  are  abomination  unto  the  LoitD  thy  Grod. 

6  Ijlf  a  bird's  nest  chance  to  be  before  thee  in  the  way  in 
any  tree,  or  on  the  ground,  whether  they  be  young  ones,  or 
eggs,  and  the  dam  sitting  upon  the  young,  or  upon  the 
eggs,  "thou  shalt  not  take  the  dam  with  the  young : 

7  But  thou  shalt  in  any  wise  let  the  dam  go,  and  take  the 
young  to  thee;  ''that  it  may  be  well  with  thee,  and  that 
thou  mayest  prolong  thy  days. 

8  ^When  thou  buildest  a  new  house,  then  thou  shalt 
make  a  battlement  for  thy  roof,  that  thou  bring  not  blood 
upon  thine  house,  if  any  man  fall  from  thence. 

9  ^"Thou  shalt  not  sow  thy  vineyard  with  divers  seeds : 
lest  the  ffruit  of  thy  seed  which  thou  hast  sown,  and  the 
fruit  of  thy  vineyard,  be  defiled. 

10  ^-^Thou  shalt  not  plough  with  an  ox  and  an  ass  together. 

11  '^"Thou  shalt  not  wear  a  garment  of  divers  sorts,  as  of 
woollen  and  linen  together. 

12  ^Thou  shalt  make  thee  ^fringes  upon  the  four  f  quar- 
ters of  thy  vesture,  wherewith  thou  coverest  thyself. 

13  ^If  any  man  take  a  wife,  and  *go  in  unto  her,  and 
hate  her, 

14  And  give  occasions  of  speech  against  her,  and  bring  up 
an  evil  name  upon  her,  and  say,  I  took  this  woman,  and 
when  I  came  to  her,  I  found  her  not  a  maid  : 

15  Then  shall  the  father  of  the  damsel,  and  her  mother, 
take  and  bring  forth  the  tokens  of  the  damsel's  virginity  unto 
the  elders  of  the  city  in  the  gate : 

16  And  the  damsel's  father  shall  say  unto  the  elders,  I 
gav2  my  daughter  unto  this  man  to  wife,  and  he  hateth  her, 

17  And,  lo,  he  hath  given  occasions  of  speech  against  her, 
saying,  I  found  not  thy  daughter  a  maid ;  and  yet  these  are 
the  tokens  of  my  daughter's  virginity.  And  they  shall  spread 
the  cloth  before  the  elders  of  the  city. 

18  And  the  elders  of  that  city  shall  take  that  man  and 
chastise  him ; 

19  And  they  shall  amerce  him  in  a  hundred  shekels  of 
silver,  and  give  them  unto  the  father  of  the  damsel,  because 
he  hath  brought  up  an  evil  name  upon  a  virgin  of  Is'ra-el : 
and  she  shall  be  his  wife ;  he  may  not  put  her  away  all 
his  days. 

20  But  if  this  thing  be  true,  and  the  tokens  of  virginity  be 
not  found  for  the  damsel : 

21  Then  they  shall  bring  out  the  damsel  to  the  door  of 
her  father's  house,  and  the  men  of  her  city  shall  stone  her 
with  stones  that  she  die ;  because  she  hath  ^wrought  folly

23 on  a  tree;  his  body  shall  not  remain  all  night 
upon  the  tree,  but  thou  shalt  surely  bury  him  the 
same  day ;  for  he  that  is  hanged  is  'accursed  of 
God ;  that  thou  defile  not  thy  land  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee  for  an  inheritance.

and  it  shall  be  with  thee  until  thy  brother  seek  after 

3  it,  and  thou  shalt  restore  it  to  him  again.  And  so 
shalt  thou  do  with  his  ass ;  and  so  shalt  thou  do 
with  his  garment;  and  so  shalt  thou  do  with  every 
lost  thing  of  thy  brother's,  which  he  hath  lost,  and 
thou  hast  found:  thou  mayest  not  hide  thyself.

thou  shalt  surely  help  him  to  lift  them  up  again 

5  A  woman  shall  not  wear  that  which  pertaineth 
unto  a  man,  neither  shall  a  man  put  on  a  woman's 
garment :  for  whosoever  doeth  these  things  is  an 
abomination  unto  the  Lokd  thy  God. 

6  If  a  bird's  nest  chance  to  be  before  thee  in  the 
way,  in  any  tree  or  on  the  ground,  with  young  ones 
or  eggs,  and  the  dam  sitting  upon  the  yoimg,  or 
upon  the  eggs,  thou  shalt  not  take  the  dam  with  the 

7 young:  thou  shalt  in  any  wise  let  the  dam  go,  but 
the  young  thou  mayest  take  unto  thyself;  that  it 
may  be  well  with  thee,  and  that  thou  mayest  pro- 
long thy  days. 

8  When  thou  buildest  a  new  house,  then  thou  shalt 
make  a  battlement  for  thy  roof,  that  thou  bring  not 
blood  upon  thine  house,  if  any  man  fall  from  thence. 

9  Thou  shalt  not  sow  thy  vineyard  with  two  kinds  of 
seed :  lest  the  ^whole  fruit  be  ^forfeited,  the  seed  which 
thou  hast  sown,  and  the  increase  of  the  vineyard. 

10     Thou  shalt  not  plow  with  an  ox  and  an  ass  to- 
ll gether.     Thou  shalt  not  wear  a  mingled  stuff,  wool 
and  linen  together. 

12  Thou  shalt  make  thee  ^fringes  upon  the  four  bor- 
ders of  thy  vesture,  wherewith  thou  coverest  thyself. 

13  If  any  man  take  a  wife,  and  go  in  unto  her,  and 

14  hate  her,  and  lay  shameful  things  to  her  charge,  and 
bring  up  an  evil  name  upon  her,  and  say,  I  took  this 
woman,  and  when  I  came  nigh  to  her,  I  found  not 

15  in  her  the  tokens  of  virginity :  then  shall  the  fiither 
of  the  damsel,  and  her  mother,  take  and  bring  forth 
the  tokens  of  the  damsel's  virginity  unto  the  elders 

16  of  the  city  in  the  gate :  and  the  damsel's  father  shall 
say  unto  the  elders,  I  gave  my   daughter  unto  this 

17  man  to  wife,  and  he  hateth  her  ;  and,  lo,  he  hath  laid 
shameful  things  to  her  charge,  saying,  I  found  not  in 
thy  daughter  the  tokens  of  virginity ;  and  yet  these 
are  the  tokens  of  my  daughter's  virginity.  And  they 
shall  spread  the  garment  before  the  elders  of  the  city. 

18  And  the  elders  of  that  city  shall  take  the  man  and 
19 chastise    him;   and  they   shall    amerce   him   in   an 

hundred  shekels  of  silver,  and  give  them  unto  the 
father  of  the  damsel,  because  he  hath  brought  up 
an  evil  name  upon  a  virgin  of  Is'ra-el :  and  she  shall 
be  his  wife;   he  may  not  put  her  away  all  his  days. 

20  But  if  this  thing  be  true,  that  the  tokens  of  virgin- 

21  ity  were  not  found  in  the  damsel :  then  they  shall 
bring  out  the  dam-sel  to  the  door  of  her  Other's 
house,  and  the  men  of  her  city  shall  stone  her  with

a  husband,  then  they  shall  both  of  them  die,  both  the  man 
that  lay  with  the  woman,  and  the  woman :  so  shalt  thou 
put  away  evil  from  Is'ra-el. 

23  ^If  a  damsel  that  is  a  virgin  be  "betrothed  unto  a

that  lay  with  her  shall  die :

against  his  neighbour,  and  slayeth  him,  evtfn  so  is  this  matter: 

27  For  he  found  her  in  the  field  and  the  betrothed'  dam-

cause they  hired  against  thee  Ba'laam  the  son  of  Be'or  of 
Pe'thor  of  Mes-o-pot-a'mi-a,  to  curse  thee. 

5  Nevertheless,  the  Lord  thy  God  would  not  hearken  unto 
Ba'laam;  but  the  Lord  thy  God  turned  the  curse  into  a 
blessing  unto  thee,  because  the  Lord  thy  God  loved  thee. 

6  ''Thou  shalt  not  seek  their  peace  nor  their  fprosperity 
all  thy  days  for  ever. 

7  ^Thou  shalt  not  abhor  an  E'dom-ite;  'for  he  is  thy 
brother :  thou  shalt  not  abhor  an  E-gyp'tian ;  because  -thou 
wast  a  stranger  in  his  land. 

8  The  children  that  are  begotten  of  them  shall  enter  into 
the  congregation  of  the  Lord  in  their  third  generation. 

9  ^When  the  host  goeth  forth  against  thine  enemies,  then 
keep  thee  from  every  wicked  thing. 

10  ^"If  there  be  among  you  any  man,  that  is  not  clean  by 
reason  of  uncleanness  that  chanceth  him  by  night,then  shall  he 
go  abroad  out  of  the  camp,  he  shall  not  come  within  the  camp: 

11  But  it  shall  be,  when  evening  fcometh  on,  *he  shall 
wash  himself  with  water:  and  when  the  sun  is  down,  he 
shall  come  into  the  camp  again. 

12  ^Thou  shalt  have  a  place  also  without  the  camp, 
whither  thou  shalt  go  forth  abroad : 

13  And  thou  shalt  have  a  paddle  upon  thy  weapon ;  and 
it  shall  be,  when  thou  fwilt  ease  thyself  abroad,  thou  shalt 
dig  therewith,  and  shalt  turn  back  and  cover  that  which 
cometh  from  thee : 

14  For  the  Lord  thy  God  Valketh  in  the  midst  of  thy 


in  Is'ra-el,  to  play  the  harlot  in  her  father's  house :  so 
shalt  thou  put  away  the  evil  from  the  midst  of  thee. 

22  If  a  man  be  found  lying  with  a  woman  married  to 
an  husband,  then  shall  they  both  of  them  die,  the 
man  that  lay  with  the  woman,  and  the  woman :  so 
shalt  thou  put  away  the  evil  from  Is'ra-el. 

23  If  there  be  a  damsel  that  is  a  virgin  betrothed 
unto  an  husband,  and  a  man  find  her  in  the  city,  and 

24  lie  with  her ;  then  ye  shall  bring  them  both  out  unto 
the  gate  of  that  city,  and  ye  shall  stone  them  with 
stones  that  they  die ;  the  damsel,  because  she  cried 
not,  being  in  the  city ;  and  the  man,  because  he  hath 
humbled  his  neighbour's  wife:  so  thou  shalt  put 
away  the  evil  from  the  midst  of  thee. 

25  But  if  the  man  find  the  damsel  that  is  betrothed  in 
the  field,  and  the  man  force  her,  and  lie  with  her ;  then 

26  the  man  only  that  lay  with  her  shall  die :  but  unto  the 
damsel  thou  shalt  do  nothing ;  there  is  in  the  damsel 
no  sin  worthy  of  death :  for  as  when  a  man  riseth 
against  his  neighbour,  and  slayeth  him,  even  so  is  this 

27 matter:  for  he  found  her  in  the  field;  the  betrothed 
damsel  cried,  and  there  was  none  to  save  her. 

28  If  a  man  find  a  damsel  that  is  a  virgin,  which  is 
not  betrothed,  and  lay  hold  on  her,  and  lie  with  her, 

29  and  they  be  found ;  then  the  man  that  lay  with  her 
shall  give  unto  the  damsel's  father  fifty  shekels  of  sil- 
ver, and  she  shall  be  his  wife,  because  he  hath  hum- 
bled her;  he  may  not  put  her  away  all  his  days. 

30  A  man  shall  not  take  his  father's  wife,  and  shall 
not  uncover  his  fether's  skirt. 

^*J     He  that  is  wounded  in  the  stones,  or  hath  his 

Erivy  member  cut  off,  shall  not  enter  into  the  assem- 
ly  of  the  Lord. 

2  A  bastard  shall  not  enter  into  the  assembly  of  the 
Lord  ;  even  to  the  tenth  generation  shall  none  of 
his  enter  into  the  assembly  of  the  Lord. 

3  An  Am'mon-ite  or  a  Mo'ab-ite  shall  not  enter  into  the 
assembly  of  the  Lord  ;  even  to  the  tenth  generation 
shall  none  belonging  to  them  enter  into  the  assembly 

4  of  the  Lord  for  ever :  because  they  met  you  not  with 
bread  and  with  water  in  the  way,  when  ye  came  forth 
out  of  E'gypt ;  and  because  they  hired  against  thee  Ba'- 
laam the  son  of  Be'or  from  Pe'thor  of ']\Ies-o-pot-a'mi-a, 

5  to  curse  thee.  Nevertheless  the  Lord  thy  God  would 
not  hearken  unto  Ba'laam ;  but  the  Lord  thy  God 
turned  the  curse  into  a  blessing  unto  thee,  because 

6  the  Lord  thy  God  loved  thee.  Thou  shalt  not  seek 
their  peace  nor  their  prosperity  all  thy  days  for  ever. 

7  Thou  shalt  not  abhor  an  E'dom-ite ;  for  he  is  thy 
brother :  thou  shalt  not  abhor  an  E'gyp-tian ;  because 

8  thou  wast  a  stranger  in  his  land.  'The  children  of 
the  third  generation  that  are  born  unto  them  shall 
enter  into  the  assembly  of  the  Lord. 

9  When  thou  goest  forth  in  camp  against  thine 
enemies,  then  thou  shalt  keep  thee  from  every  evil 

10  thing.  If  there  be  among  you  any  man,  that  is 
not  clean  by  reason  of  that  which  chanceth  him  by

cause he  hath  found  tsome  uncleanne.ss  in  her :  then  let  him 
write  her  a  bill  of  fdivorcement,  and  give  it  in  her  hand, 
and  send  her  out  of  his  house. 

2  And  when  she  is  departed  out  of  his  house,  she  may  go 
and  be  another  man's  wife. 

3  And  if  the  latter  husband  hate  her,  and  write  her  a  bill 
of  divorcement,  and  giveth  it  in  her  hand,  and  sendeth  her 
out  of  his  house ;  or  if  the  latter  husband  die,  which  took 
her  to  he  his  wife ; 

4  ''Her  former  husband,  which  sent  her  away,  may  not 
take  her  again  to  be  his  wife,  after  that  she  is  defiled ;  for 
that  is  abomination  before  the  Lord  :  and  thou  shalt  not 
cause  the  land  to  sin,  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee 
/or  an  inheritance. 

5  ^"When  a  man  hath  taken  a  new  wife,  he  shall  not  go 
out  to  war,  fneither  shall  he  be  charged  with  any  business : 
but  he  shall  be  free  at  home  one  year,  and  shall  ''cheer  up 
his  wife  which  he  hath  taken.

15  Thou  shalt  not  deliver  unto  his  master  a  servant 
16 which  is  escaped  from  his  master  unto  thee:  he  shall

18  of  Is'ra-el.  Thou  shalt  not  bring  the  hire  of  a  whore, 
or  the  wages  of  a  dog,  into  the  house  of  the  Lord 
thy  God  for  any  vow :  for  even  both  these  are  an 
abomination  unto  the  Lord  thy  God. 

19  Thou  shalt  not  lend  upon  usurj'  to  thy  brother; 
usury  of   money,   usury   of  victuals,  usury  of  any 

20  thing  that  is  lent  upon  usury :  unto  a  foreigner  thou 
mayest  lend  upon  usury ;  but  unto  thy  brother  thou 
shalt  not  lend  upon  usury :  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
may  bless  thee  in  all  that  thou  puttest  thine  hand 
unto,  in  the  land  whither  thou  goest  in  to  possess  it. 

21  When  thou  shalt  vow  a  vow  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God,  thou  shalt  not  be  slack  to  pay  it :  for  the 
Lord  thy  God  will  surely  require  it  of  thee ;  and  it 

22  would  be  sin  in  thee.  But  if  thou  shalt  forbear  to  vow, 

23  it  shall  be  no  sin  in  thee.  That  which  is  gone  out

corn,  then  thou  mayest  pluck  the  ears  with  thine 
hand ;  but  thou  shalt  not  move  a  sickle  unto  thy 
neighbour's  standing  corn. 

^^  When  a  man  taketh  a  wife,  and  marrieth  her,  then 
it  shall  be,  if  she  find  no  favour  in  his  eyes,  because 
he  hath  found  some  unseemly  thing  in  her,  that  he 
shall  write  her  a  bill  of  divorcement,  and  give  it  in  her 

2  hand,  and  send  her  out  of  his  house.  And  when 
she  is  departed  out  of  his  house,  she  may  go  and  be 

3  another  man's  wife.  And  if  the  latter  husband  hate 
her,  and  write  her  a  bill  of  divorcement,  and  give  it 
in  her  hand,  and  send  her  out  of  his  house ;  or  if 
the  latter    husband    die,  which  took  her  to  be  his 

4 wife;  her  former  husband,  which  sent  her  away, 
may  not  take  her  again  to  be  his  wife,  after  that  she 
is  defiled ;  for  that  is  abomination  before  the  Lord  : 
and  thou  shalt  not  cause  the  land  to  sin,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee  for  an  inheritance. 

5  When  a  man  taketh  a  new  wife,  he  shall  not  go 
out  in  the  host,  neither  shall  he  be  charged  with  any 
business :    he    shall   be  free  at  home  one  year,  and 

6  shall  cheer  his  wife  which  he  hath  taken.  No  man 
shall  take  the  mill  or  the  upper  millstone  to  pledge  : 
for  he  taketh  a  man's  life  to  pledge. 

7  If  a  man  be  found  stealing  any  of  his  brethren 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  he  deal  with  him  *as  a 
slave,  or  sell  him ;  then  that  thief  shall  die :  so  shalt 
thou  put  away  the  evil  from  the  midst  of  thee. 

8  Take  heed  in  the  plague  of  leprosy,  that  thou  ob- 
serve diligently,  and  do  according  to  all  that  the 
priests  the  Le'vites  shall  teach  you ;  as  I  commanded 

9  them,  so  ye  shall  observe  to  do.  Remember  what

IF  there  be  a  "controversy  between  men,  and  they  come 
imto  judgment  that  the  judges  may  judge  them ;    then 
they  ''shall  justify  the  righteous,  and  condemn  the  wicked. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  if  the  wicked  man  be  '^worthy  to  be 
beaten,  that  the  judge  shall  cause  him  to  lie  down,  ''and  to 
be  beaten  before  his  &ce,  according  to  his  fault,  by  a  certain 
number. 

3  'Forty  stripes  he  may  give  him,  and  not  exceed :  lest,  ij 
he  should  exceed,  and  beat  him  above  these  with  many 
stripes,  then  thy  brother  should  -^seem  vile  unto  thee.

5  H''If  brethren  dwell  together,  and  one  of  them  die,  and 
have  no  child,  the  wife  of  the  dead  shall  not  marry  without 
unto  a  stranger:  her  i|  husband's  brother  shall  go  in  unto 
her,  and  take  her  to  him  to  wife,  and  perform  the  duty  of 
a  husband's  brother  unto  her. 

6  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  firstborn  which  she  beareth 
'shall  succeed  in  the  name  of  his  brother  which  is  dead,  that 
*his  name  be  not  put  out  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  if  the  man  like  not  to  take  his  ||  brother's  wife,  then

brother  a  name  in  Is'ra-el,  he  will  not  perform  the  duty  of 
my  husband's  brother. 

8  Then  the  elders  of  his  city  shall  call  him,  and  speak  unto 
him  :  and  if  he  stand  to  it,  and  say,  "I  like  not  to  take  her;

11  pledge.  Thou  shalt  stand  without,  and  the  man  to 
whom  thou  dost  lend  shall  bring  forth  the  pledge 

12  without  unto  thee.     And  if  he  be  a  poor  man,  thou

that  he  may  sleep  in  his  garment,  and  bless  thee : 
and  it  shall  be  righteousness  unto  thee  before  the

poor  and  needy,  whether  he  be  of  thy  brethren,  or

may  give  him,  he  shall  not  exceed  :  lest,  if  he  should 
exceed,  and  beat  him  above  these  with  many  stripes, 
then  thy  brother  should  seem  vile  unto  thee.

out  the  corn. 

5  If  brethren  dwell  together,  and  one  of  them  die, 
and  have  no  son,  the  wife  of  the  dead  shall  not

16  ^This  day  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  commanded  thee  to 
do  these  statutes  and  judgments :  thou  shalt  therefore  keep

commandments,  and  his  judgments,  and  to  hearken  unto 
his  voice : 

18  And  'the  Lord  hath  avouched  thee  this  day  to  be  his 
peculiar  people,  as  he  hath  promised  thee,  and  that  thou 
shouldest  keep  all  his  commandments  ; 

19  And  to  make  thee  "high  above  all  nations  which  he  hath 
made,  in  praise,  and  in  name,  and  in  honour ;  and  that  thou 
mayest  be  *a  holy  people  unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  as  he 
hath  spoken. 

CHAPTER    XXVII. 

The  curses  pronounced  on  mount  Ebal. 

AND  Mo'ses  with  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  commanded  the 
people,  saying,  Keep  all   the  commandments  which  I 
command  you  this  day. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  on  the  day  "when  ye  shall  pass  over  Jor'dan 
unto  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  that  ''thou 
shalt  set  thee  up  great  stones,  and  plaster  them  with  plaster : 

3  And  thou  snalt  write  upon  them  all  the  words  of  this 
law,  when  thou  art  passed  over,  that  thou  mayest  go  in 
unto  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  a  land 
that  floweth  with  milk  and  honey ;  as  the  Lord  God  of  thy 
fathers  hath  promised  thee. 

4  Therefore  it  shall  be  when  ye  be  gone  over  Jor'dan,  that 
ye  shall  set  up  these  stones,  which  I  command  you  this  day, 
"in  mount  E'bal,  and  thou  shalt  plaster  them  with  plaster. 

5  And  there  shalt  thou  build  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God,  an  altar  of  stones  :  ""thou  shalt  not  lift  up  any  iron  tool 
upon  them. 

6  Thou  shalt  build  the  altar  of  the  Lord  thy  God  of  whole 
stones :  and  thou  shalt  offer  burnt  offerings  thereon  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

7  And  thou  shalt  offer  peace  offerings,  and  shalt  eat  there, 
and  rejoice  before  the  Lord  thy  God. 

8  And  thou  shalt  write  upon  the  stones  all  the  words  of 
this  law  very  plainly. 

9  ij  And  Mo'ses  and  the  priests  the  Le'vites  spake  unto  all 
Is'ra-el,  saying,  Take  heed,  and  hearken,  O  Is'ra-el ;  'this 
day  thou  art  become  the  people  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

10  Thou  shalt  therefore  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  do  his  commandments  and  his  statutes,  which  I 
command  thee  this  day. 

11  ^And  Mo'ses  charged  the  people  the  same  day,  saying, 

12  These  shall  stand  ■'^upon  mount  Ger'i-zim  to  bless  the 
people,  when  ye  are  come  over  Jor'dan ;  Sim'e-on,  and  Le'vi, 
and  Ju'dah,  and  Is'sa-char,  and  Jo'seph,  and  Ben'ja-min : 


of  tithing^  then  thou  shalt  give  it  unto  the  Le'- 
vite, to  the  stranger,  to  the  fatherless,  and  to  the 
widow,  that  they  may  eat  within  thy  gates,  and  be 

13  filled  ;  and  thou  shalt  say  before  the  Lord  thy  God, 
I  have  put  away  the  hallowed  things  out  of  mine 
house,  and  also  have  given  them  unto  the  Le'vite, 
and  unto  the  stranger,  to  the  fatherless,  and  to  the 
widow,  according  to  all  thy  commandment  which 
thou  hast  commanded  me :  I  have  not  transgressed 
any  of  thy  commandments,  neither  have  I  forgotten 

14them :  I  have  not  eaten  thereof  in  my  mourning, 
neither  have  I  put  away  thereof,  being  unclean,  nor 
given  thereof  for  the  dead :  I  have  hearkened  to  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  ray  God,  I  have  done  according 

15to  all  that  thou  hast  commanded  me.  Look  down 
from  thy  holy  habitation,  from  heaven,  and  bless 
thy  people  Is'ra-el,  and  the  ground  which  thou  hast 
given  us,  as  thou  swarest  unto  our  fathers,  a  land 
flowing  with  milk  and  honey. 

16  This  day  the  Lord  thy  God  commandeth  thee  to 
do  these  statutes  and  judgements :  thou  shalt  there- 
fore keep  and  do  them  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with 

17  all  thy  soul.  Thou  hast  avouched  the  Lord  this 
day  to  be  thy  God,  and  that  thou  shouldest  walk  in 
his  ways,  and  keep  his  statutes,  and  his  command' 
ments,  and  his  judgements,  and  hearken  unto  his 

18 voice:  and  the  Lord  hath  avouched  thee  this  day 
to  be  a  peculiar  people  unto  himself,  as  he  hath 
promised  thee,  and  that  thou  shouldest  keep  all  his 

19 commandments;  and  to  make  thee  high  above  all 
nations  which  he  hath  made,  'in  praise,  and  in  name, 
and  in  honour ;  and  that  thou  mayest  be  an  holy  peo- 
ple unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  as  he  hath  spoken. 

^  *  And  Mo'ses  and  the. elders  of  Is'ra-el  commanded 
the    people,   saying,   Keep   all    the   commandment 

2  which  I  command  you  this  day.  And  it  shall  be 
on  the  day  when  ye  shall  pass  over  Jor'dan  unto  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  set  thee  up  great  stones,  and  plaister  them  with 

3  plaister :  and  thou  shalt  write  upon  them  all  the 
words  of  this  law,  when  thou  art  passed  over  ;  that 
thou  mayest  go  in  unto  the  land  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  giveth  thee,  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and 
honey,  as  the   Lord,  the  God  of  thy  fathers,  hath 

4  promised  thee.  And  it  shall  be  when  ye  are  passed 
over  Jor'dan,  that  ye  shall  set  up  these  stones,  which 
I  command  you  this  day,  in  mount  E'bal,  and  thou 

5  shalt  plaister  them  with  plaister.  And  there  shalt 
thou  build  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  an  altar 
of  stones :  thou  shalt  lift  up  no  iron  tool  upon  them. 

6  Thou  shalt  build  the  altar  of  the  Lord  thy  God  of 
^unhewn  stones  :  and  thou  shalt  offer  burnt  offering.* 

7  thereon  unto  the  Lord  thy  God  :  and  thou  shalt 
sacrifice  peace  offerings,  «nd   shalt  eat  there ;  and 

8  thou  shalt  rejoice  before  the  Lord  thy  God.  And 
thou  shalt  write  upon  the  stones  all  the  words  of 
this  law  very  plainly. 

9  And  Mo'ses  and  the  priests  the  Le'vites  spake 
unto  all  Is'ra-el,  saying,  Keep  silence,  and  hearlcen, 
O   Is'ra-el ;  this  day  thou  art  become   the   people 

10  of  the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou  shalt  therefore 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  do  his 
commandments  and  his  statutes,  which  I  command 
thee  this  day. 

1 1  And  Mo'ses  charged  the  people  the  same  day,  saying, 

12  Theseshall  stand  upon  mount  Ger'i-zim  to  bless  thepeo- 
ple,  when  yeare  passed  over  Jor'dan;  Sim'e-on, and  Levi,

which  would  not  adventure  to  set  the  sole  of  her

57  And  toward  her  tyoung  one  that  cometh  out  "from 
between  her  feet,  and  toward  her  children  which  she  shall 
bear:  for  she  shall  eat  them  for  want  of  all  things  secretly 
in  the  siege  and  straitness,  wherewith  thine  enemy  shall 
distress  thee  in  thy  gates. 

58  If  thou  wilt  not  observe  to  do  all  the  words  of  this  law 
that  are  written  in  this  book,  that  t'jou  mayest  fear  "this 
glorious  and  fearful  name,  THE  LORD  THY  GOD; 

59  Then  the  Lord  will  make  thy  plagues  "wonderful,  and 
the  plagues  of  thy  seed,  even  great  plagues,  and  of  long  con- 
tinuance, and  sore  sickness,  and  of  long  continuance. 

60  Moreover  he  will  bring  upon  thee  all  "the  diseases  of 
E'gypt,  which  thou  wast  afraid  of;  and  they  shall  cleave 
unto  thee. 

61  Also  every  sickness,  and  every  plague,  which  is  not 
written  in  the  book  of  this  law,  them  will  the  Lord  fbring 
upon  thee,  until  thou  be  destroyed. 

62  And  ye  ''shall  be  left  few  in  number,  whereas  ye  were 
'as  the  stars  of  heaven  for  multitude ;  because  thou  wouldest 
not  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

63  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  as  the  Lord  ''rejoiced 
over  you  to  do  you  good,  and  to  multiply  you ;  so  the 
Lord  'will  rejoice  over  you  to  destroy  you,  and  to  bring 
you  to  nought;  and  ye  shall  be  plucked  from  off  the  land 
whither  thou  goest  to  possess  it. 

64  And  the  Lord  -'^shall  scatter  thee  among  all  people, 
from  the  one  end  of  the  earth  even  unto  the  other ;  and 
"there  thou  shalt  serve  other  gods,  which  neither  thou  nor 
thy  fathers  have  known,  even  wood  and  stone. 

65  And  ''among  these  nations  shalt  thou  find  no  ease, 
neither  shall  the  sole  of  thy  foot  have  rest :  'but  the  Lord 
shall  give  thee  there  a  trembling  heart,  and  failing  of  eyes, 
and  *sorrow  of  mind : 

66  And  thy  life  shall  hang  in  doubt  before  thee;  and 
thou  shalt  fear  day  and  night,  and  shalt  have  none  assur- 
ance of  thy  life  : 

67  'In  the  morning  thou  shalt  say.  Would  God  it  were 
even !  and  at  even  thou  shalt  say.  Would  God  it  were 
morning!  for  fear  of  thine  heart  wherewith  thou  shalt 
fear,  and  "for  the  sight  of  thine  eyes  which  thou  shalt  see. 

68  And  the  Lord  "shall  bring  thee  into  E'gypt  again  with 
ships,  by  the  way  whereof  I  spake  unto  thee,  "Thou  shalt  see 
it  no  more  again :  and  there  ye  shall  be  sold  unto  your  enemies 
for  bondmen  and  bondwomen,  and  no  man  shall  buy  you. 

CHAPTER   XXIX. 

Moses  exhorteth  them  to  obedience — Secret  things  belong  unto  God. 

THESE  are  the  words  of  the  covenant  which  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses  to  make  with  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  besides  "the  covenant  which  he  made 
with  them  in  Ho'reb. 

2  ^And  Mo'ses  called  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto  them, 
'Ye  have  seen  all  that  the  Lord  did  before  your  eyes  in 
the  land  of  E'gypt  unto  Pha'raoh,  and  unto  all  his  servants, 
and  unto  all  his  land ; 

3  'The  great  temptations  which  thine  eyes  have  seen,  the 
signs,  and  those  great  miracles : 

4  Yet  ''the  Lord  hath  not  given  you  a  heart  to  perceive, 
and  eyes  to  see,  and  ears  to  hear,  unto  this  day. 

5  'And  I  have  led  you  forty  years  in  the  wilderness :  •'your 
clothes  are  not  waxen  old  upon  you,  and  thy  shoe  is  not 
waxen  old  upon  thy  foot. 

6  "Ye  have  not  eaten  bread,  neither  have  ye  drunk  wine  or 
strongdrink:  that  ye  might  know  that  I  amthe  Lord  your  God. 

7  And  when  ye  came  unto  this  place,  ''Si'hon  the  king  of 
Hesh'bon,  and  Og  the  king  of  Ba'shan,  came  out  against  us 
unto  battle,  and  we  smote  them : 

8  And  we  took  their  land,  and  'gave  it  for  an  inheritance 
unto  the  Reu'ben-ites,  and  to  the  Gad'ites,  and  to  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh. 


57  and  toward  her  'young  one  that  cometh  out 
from  between  her  feet,  and  toward  her  children 
which  she  shall  bear;  for  she  shall  eat  them  for 
want  of  all  things  secretly :  in  the  siege  and  in  the 
straitness,  wherewith  thine  enemy  shall  straiten  thee 

58  in  thy  gates.  If  thou  wilt  not  observe  to  do  all  the 
words  of  this  law  that  are  written  in  this  book,  that 
thou   mayest  fear  this  glorious  and  fearful   name, 

59  THE  lord  thy  god  ;  then  the  Lord  will  make  thy 
plagues  wonderful,  and  the  plagues  of  thy  seed,  even 
great   plagues,  and  of  long  continuance,  and   sore 

60  sicknesses,  and  of  long  continuance.  And  he  will 
bring  upon  thee  again  all  the  diseases  of  E'gypt, 
which  thou  wast  afraid  of;    and  they  shall  cleave 

61  unto  thee.  Also  every  sickness,  and  every  plague, 
which  is  not  written  in  the  book  of  this  law,  them 
will  the  Lord  bring  upon  thee,  until  thou  be  de- 

62stroyed.  And  ye  shall  be  left  few  in  number, 
whereas  ye  were  as  the  stars  of  heaven  for  multi- 
tude ;  because  thou  didst  not  hearken  unto  the  voice 

63  of  the  Lord  thy  God.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  as  the  Lord  rejoiced  over  you  to  do  you  good, 
and  to  multiply  you;  so  the  Lord  will  rejoice  over 
you  to  cause  you  to  perish,  and  to  destroy  you ;  and 
ye  shall  be  plucked  from  off  the  land  whither  thou 

64  goest  in  to  possess  it.  And  the  Lord  shall  scatter 
thee  among  all  peoples,  from  the  one  end  of  the 
earth  even  unto  the  other  end  of  the  earth;  and 
there  thou  shalt  serve  other  gods,  which  thou  hast 
not  known,  thou   nor  thy  fathers,  even  wood  and 

65  stone.  And  among  these  nations  shalt  thou  find  no 
ease,  and  there  shall  be  no  rest  for  the  sole  of  thy 
foot :  but  the  Lord  shall  give  thee  there  a  trembling 

66  heart,  and  failing  of  eyes,  and  pining  of  soul :  and 
thy  life  shall  hang  in  doubt  before  thee;  and  thou 
shalt  fear  night  and  day,  and  shalt  have  none  assur- 

67  ance  of  thy  life :  in  the  morning  thou  shalt  say. 
Would  God  it  were  even !  and  at  even  thou  shalt 
say.  Would  God  it  were  morning!  for  the  fear  of 
thine  heart  which  thou  shalt  fear,  and  for  the  sight 

68  of  thine  eyes  which  thou  shalt  see.  And  the  Lord 
shall  bring  thee  into  E'gypt  again  with  ships,  by  the 
way  whereof  I  said  unto  thee,  Thou  shalt  see  it  no 
more  again  :  and  there  ye  shall  sell  yourselves  unto 
your  enemies  for  bondmen  and  for  bondwomen,  and 
no  man  shall  buy  you. 

^v  These  are  the  words  of  the  covenant  which  the 
Lord  commanded  Mo'ses  to  make  with  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  beside  the  covenant 
which  he  made  with  them  i--  Ho'reb. 

2  And  Mo'ses  called  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto 
them.  Ye  have  seen  all  that  the  Lord  did  before 
your  eyes  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  unto  Pha'raoh,  and 

3  unto  all  his  servants,  and  unto  all  his  land ;  the  great 
temptations  which  thine  eyes  saw,  the  signs,  and 

4  those  great  wonders :  but  the  Lord  hath  not  given 
you  an  heart  to  know,  and  eyes  to  see,  and  ears  to 

5  hear,  unto  this  day.  And  I  have  led  you  forty  years 
in  the  wilderness :  your  clothes  are  not  waxen  old 
upon  you,  and  thy  shoe  is  not  waxen  old  upon  thy 

6  foot.  Ye  have  not  eaten  bread,  neither  nave  ye 
drunk  wine  or  strong  drink :   that  ye  might  know 

7  that  I  am  the  Lord  your  God.  And  when  ye  came 
unto  this  place,  Si'hon  the  king  of  Hesh'bon,  and  Og 
the  king  of  Ba'shan,  came  out  against  us  unto  battle. 

Sand  we  smote  them  :  and  we  took  their  land,  and 
gave  it  for  an  inheritance  unto  the  Reu'ben-ites,  and 
to  the  Gad'ites,  and  to  the  half  tribe  of  the  Ma-nas'sites.

that  ye  may  'prosper  in  all  that  ye  do. 

10  1[Ye  stand  this  day  all  of  you  before  the  Lord  your 
God;  your  captains  of  your  tribes,  your  elders,  and  your 
officers,  with  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el, 

11  Your  little  ones,your  wives,and  thy  stranger  that  is  in  thy 
camp,  from'"the  hewer  of  thy  wood  unto  the  drawer  of  thy  water: 

12  That  thou  shouldest  fenter  into  covenant  with  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  "into  his  oath,  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
maketh  with  thee  this  day: 

13  That  he  may  "establish  thee  to-day  for  a  people  unto 
himself,  and  that  he  may  be  unto  thee  a  God,  "as  he_  hath 
said  unto  thee,  and  'as  he  hath  sworn  unto  thy  fathers,  to 
A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob. 

14  Neither  with  you  only  'do  I  make  this  covenant  and 
this  oath ; 

15  But  with  him  that  standeth  here  with  us  this  day  before 
the  Lord  our  God,  'and  also  with  him  that  is  not  here  with 
us  this  day : 

16  (For  ye  know  how  we  have  dwelt  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 
and  how  we  came  through  the  nations  which  ye  passed  by ; 

17  And  ye  have  seen  their  abominations,  and  their  fidols, 
wood  and  stone,  silver  and  gold,  which  were  among  them :) 

18  Lest  there  should  be  among  you  man,  or  woman,  or 
family,  or  tribe,  'whose  heart  turneth  away  this  day  from 
the  Lord  our  God,  to  go  and  serve  the  gods  of  these 
nations ;  "lest  there  should  be  among  you  a  root  that  beareth 
lltgall  and  wormwood; 

19  And  it  come  to  pass,  when  he  heareth  the  words  of  this 
curse,  that  he  bless  himself  in  his  heart,  saying,  I  shall 
have  peace,  though  I  walk  ""in  the  ||  imagination  of  mine 
heart,  ""to  add  fdrunkenness  to  thirst : 

20  ''The  Lord  will  not  spare  him,  but  then  'the  anger  of  the 
Lord  and  "his  jealousy  shall  smoke  against  that  man,  and  all 
the  curses  that  are  written  in  this  book  shall  lie  upon  him, 
and  the  Lord  'shall  blot  out  his  name  from  under  heaven. 

21  And  the  Lord  ''shall  separate  him  unto  evil  out  of  all 
the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  according  to  all  the  curses  of  the 
covenant  that  fare  written  in  this  book  of  the  law  : 

22  So  that  the  generation  to  come  of  your  children  that 
shall  rise  up  after  you,  and  the  stranger  that  shall  come  from 
a  far  land,  shall  say,  when  they  see  the  plagues  of  that  land, 
and  the  sicknesses  fwhich  the  Lord  hath  laid  upon  it ; 

23  And  that  the  whole  land  thereof  is  brimstone,  ''and  salt, 
and  burning,  that  it  is  not  sown,  nor  beareth,  nor  any  grass 
groweth  therein,  "like  the  overthrow  of  Sod'om  and  Go- 
mor'rah,  Ad'mah  and  Ze-bo'im,  which  the  Lord  overthrew 
in  his  anger,  and  in  his  wrath : 

24  Even  all  nations  shall  say,  •'^ Wherefore  hath  the  Lord 
done  thus  unto  this  land  ?  what  meaneth  the  heat  of  this 
great  anger? 

25  Then  men  shall  say.  Because  they  have  forsaken  the  cov- 
enant of  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers,  which  he  made  with 
them  when  he  brought  them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt : 

26  For  they  went  and  served  other  gods,  and  worshipped 
them,  gods  whom  they  knew  not,  and  \\whom  he  had  not 
tgiven  unto  them: 

27  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  this  land, 
"to  bring  upon  it  all  the  curses  that  are  written  in  this  book : 

28  And  the  Lord  '"rooted  them  out  of  their  land  in  anger, 
and  in  wrath,  and  in  great  indignation,  and  cast  them  into 
another  land,  as  it  is  this  day. 

29  The  secret  things  belong  unto  the  Lord  our  God :  but 
those  things  which  are  revealed  belong  unto  us,  and  to  our 
children  for  ever,  that  we  may  do  all  the  words  of  this  law.

oath,  which  the  Lord   thy  God  maketh  with  thee 

13 this  day:  that  he  may  establish  thee  this  day  unto 
himself  for  a  people,  and  that  he  may  be  unto  thee 
a  God,  as  he  spake  unto  thee,  and  as  he  sware  unto 
thy  fathers,  to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob. 

14  Neither  with  you  only  do  I  make  this  covenant  and 

15 this  oath;  but  with  him  that  standeth  here  with  us

16  him  that  is  not  here  with  us  this  day :  (for  ye  know

came  through   the   midst   of  the    nations    through 

17 which  ye  passed;  and  ye  have  seen  their  abomina

18 gold,  which  were  among  them:)  lest  there  should 
be  among  you  man,  or  woman,  or  family,  or  tribe, 
whose  heart  turneth  away  this  day  from  the  Lord 
our  God,  to  go  to  serve  the  gods  of  those  nations ; 
lest  there  should  be  among  you  a  root  that  beareth 

19^gall  and  wormwood;  and  it  come  to  pass,  when  he 
heareth  the  words  of  this  'curse,  that  he  bless  him 
self  in  his  heart,  saying,  I  shall  have  peace,  though 
I  walk  in  the  stubbornness  of  mine  heart,  ''to  destroy

like  the  overthrow  of  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  Ad'- 
mah and  Ze-bo'i-im,  which  the  Lord  overthrew  in  his 

24  anger,  and  in  his  wrath  :  even  all  the  nations  shall 
say.  Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this 
land?  what  meaneth  the  heat  of  this  great  anger? 

25  Then  men  shall  say.  Because  they  forsook  the  cov- 
enant of  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers,  which  he 
made  with  them  when  he  brought  them  forth  out  of 

26  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  and  went  and  served  other  gods, 
and  worshipped  them,  gods  whom  they  knew  not, 

27  and  whom  he  had  not  'given  unto  them :  therefore 
the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  this 
land,  to  bring  upon  it  all  the  curse  that  is  written 

28  in  this  book :  and  the  Lord  rooted  them  out  of 
their  land  in  anger,  and  in  wrath,  and  in  great  in- 
dignation, and  cast   them  into  another  land,  as  at 

29  this  day.  The  secret  things  belong  unto  the  Lord 
our  God:  but  the  things  that  are  revealed  belong 
unto  us  and  to  our  children  for  ever,  that  we  may 
do  all  the  words  of  this  law.

And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  all  these  things 
are  come  upon  thee,  the  blessing  and  the  curse,  which

I  have  set  before  thee,  and  'thou  shalt  call  them  to  mind  among 
all  the  nations,  whither  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  driven  thee, 

2  And  shalt  ''return  unto  the  Lord  thy  God  and  shalt 
obey  his  voice  according  to  all  that  I  command  thee  this 
day,  thou  and  thy  children,  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with 
all  thy  soul; 

3  *That  then  the  Lord  thy  God  will  turn  thy  captivity, 
and  have  compassion  upon  thee,  and  will  return  and  •'^gather 
thee  from  all  the  nations,  whither  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
scattered  thee. 

4  "If  any  of  thine  be  driven  out  unto  the  outmost  ^arfe  of 
heaven,  from  thence  will  the  Lord  thy  God  gather  thee,  and 
from  thence  will  he  fetch  thee : 

5  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will  bring  thee  into  the  land 
which  thy  fathers  possessed,  and  thou  shalt  possess  it ;  and 
he  will  do  thee  good,  and  multiply  thee  above  thy  fathers. 

6  And  *the  Lord  thy  God  will  circumcise  thine  heart,  and 
the  heart  of  thy  seed,  to  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all 
thine  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  that  thou  mayest  live. 

7  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will  put  all  these  curses  upon  thine 
enemies,  and  on  them  that  hate  thee,  which  persecuted  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  return  and  obey  the  voice  of  the  LoRD,and 
do  all  his  commandments  which  I  command  thee  this  day. 

9  'And  the  Lord  thy  God  will  make  thee  plenteous  in 
every  work  of  thine  hand,  in  the  fruit  of  thy  body,  and  in 
the  fruit  of  thy  cattle,  and  in  the  fruit  of  thy  land,  for  good : 
for  the  Lord  will  again  *rejoice  over  thee  for  good,  as  he 
rejoiced  over  thy  fathers  : 

10  If  thou  shalt  hearken  unto  the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  to  keep  his  commandments  and  his  statutes  which 
are  written  in  this  book  of  the  law,  and  if  thou  turn  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul. 

11  ^For  this  commandment  which  I  command  thee  this 
day,  'it  is  not  hidden  from  thee,  neither  w  it  far  off. 

12  "It  is  not  in  heaven,  that  thou  shouldest  say,  Who  shall

Who  shall  go  over  the  sea  for  us,  and  bring  it  unto  us,  that 
we  may  hear  it,  and  do  it  ? 

14  But  the  word  is  very  nigh  unto  thee,  in  thy  mouth,  and 
in  thy  heart,  that  thou  mayest  do  it. 

15  ^See,  "I  have  set  before  thee  this  day  life  and  good,

God,  to  walk  in  his  ways,  and  to  keep  his  commandments, 
and  his  statutes,  and  his  judgments,  that  thou  mayest  live

land  whither  thou  goest  to  possess  it. 

17  But  if  thine  heart  turn  away,  so  that  thou  wilt  not  hear, 
but  shalt  be  drawn  away,  and  worship  other  gods,  and 
serve  them  ; 

18  "I  denounce  unto  you  this  day,  that  ye   shall   surely 

f)erish,  and  that  ye  shall  not  prolong  your  days  upon  the 
and,  whither  thou  passest  over  Jor'dan  to  go  to  possess  it. 

19  "I  call  heaven  and  earth  to  record  this  day  against  you, 
that  »I  have  set  before  you  life  and  death,  blessing  and  cursing : 
therefore  choose  life,  that  both  thou  and  thy  seed  may  live : 

20  That  thou  mayest  love  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  that 
thou  mayest  obey  his  voice,  and  that  thou  mayest  cleave 
unto  him  :  for  he  is  thy  ''life,  and  the  length  of  thy  days : 
that  thou  mayest  dwell  in  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  thy  fathers,  to  A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  to 
give  them. 

CHAPTER   XXXI. 

Moses  delivereth  the  law  unto  the  priests—God  char geth  Joshua. 

AND  Mo'ses  went  and  spake  these  words  unto  all  Is'ra-el. 
2  And    he   said   unto    them,    I    "nwi   a  hundred  and 
twenty  years  old  this  day ;  I  can  no    more   ''go   out   and 


I    have   set  before  thee,  and  thou  shalt  call  them 
to  mind  among  all  the  nations,  whither  the  Lord 

2  thy  God  hath  driven  thee,  and  shalt  return  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  obey  his  voice  accord- 
ing to  all  that  I  command  thee  this  day,  thou 
and  thy  children,  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with  all 

3  thy  soul ;  that  then  the  Lord  thy  God  will  'turn 
thy  captivity,  and  have  compassion  upon  thee,  and 
will  return  and  gather  thee  from   all   the  peoples, 

4  whither  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  scattered  thee.  If 
any  of  thine  outcasts  be  in  the  uttermost  parts  of 
heaven,  from  thence  will  the  Lord  thy  God  gather 

5  thee,  and  from  thence  will  he  fetch  thee  :  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  will  bring  thee  into  the  land  which 
thy  fathers  possessed,  and  thou  shalt  possess  it ;  and 
he  will  do  thee  good,  and  multiply  thee  above  thy 

6  fathers.  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will  circumcise 
thine  heart,  and  the  heart  of  thy  seed,  to  love  the 
Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with  all  thy 

7  soul,  that  thou  mayest  live.  And  the  Lord  thy 
God  will  put  all  these  curses  upon  thine  enemies, 
and  on  them  that  hate  thee,  which  persecuted  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  return  and  obey  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  and  do  all  his  commandments  which  I  com- 

9mand  thee  this  day.  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
make  thee  plenteous  in  all  the  work  of  thine  hand, 
in  the  fruit  of  thy  body,  and  in  the  fruit  of  thy  cattle, 
and  in  the  fruit  of  thy  ground,  for  good  :  for  the 
Lord  will  again  rejoice  over  thee  for  good,  as  he 
10 rejoiced  over  thy  fathers:  if  thou  shalt  obey  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  keep  his  command 
ments  and  his  statutes  which  are  written  in  this 
book  of  the  law ;  if  thou  turn  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul. 

11  For  this  commandment  which  I  command  thee 
■this  day,  it  is  not  too  %ard  for  thee,  neither  is  it  far 

12  off.  It  is  not  in  heaven,  that  thou  shouldest  say 
Who  shall  go  up  for  us  to  heaven,  and  bring  it 
unto  us,  and  make  us  to  hear  it,  that  we  may  do 

13 it?  Neither  is  it  beyond  the  sea,  that  thou  should- 
est say,  Who  shall  go  over  the  sea  for  us,  and  bring 
it  unto  us,  and  make  us  to  hear  it,  that  Ave  may  do 

14 it?  But  the  word  is  very  nigh  unto  thee,  in  thy 
mouth,  and  in  thy  heart,  that  thou  mayest  do  it. 

15  See,  I  have  set  before  thee  this  day  life  and  good, 

16  and  death  and  evil ;  in  that  I  command  thee  this  day 
to  love  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  walk  in  his  ways, 
and  to  keep  his  commandments  and  his  statutes  and 
his  judgements,  that  thou  mayest  live  and  multiply, 
and  that  the  Lord  thy  God  may  bless  thee  in  the 

17  land  whither  thou  goest  in  to  possess  it.  But  if 
thine  heart  turn  away,  and  thou  wilt  not  hear,  but 
shalt  be  drawn  away,  and  worship  other  gods,  and 

18  serve  them ;  I  denounce  unto  you  this  day,  that  ye 
shall  surely  perish ;  ye  shall  not  prolong  your  days 
upon  the  land,  whither  thou  passest  over  Jor'dan  to 

19  go  in  to  possess  it.  I  call  heaven  and  earth  to  wit- 
ness against  you  this  day,  that  I  have  set  before  thee 
life  and  death,  the  blessing  and  the  curse  :  therefore 
choose  life,  that  thou   mayest   live,   thou  and   thy 

20  seed :  to  love  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  obey  his  voice, 
and  to  cleave  unto  him  :  for  'he  is  thy  life,  and  the 
length  of  thy  days :  that  thou  mayest  dwell  in  the 
land  which  the  Lord  sware  unto  thy  fathers,  to 
A'bra-ham,  to  I'saac,  and  to  Ja'cob,  to  give  them.

come  in  :  also  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  me,  'Thou  shalt  not 
go  over  this  Jor'dan. 

3  The  Lord  thy  God,  ''he  will  go  over  before  thee,  and  he 
will  destroy  these  nations  from  before  thee,  and  thou  shalt 
possess  them :  and  Josh'u-a,  he  shall  go  over  before  thee, 
'as  the  Lord  hath  said. 

4  -'^And  the  Lord  shall  do  unto  them  'as  he  did  to  Si'hon 
and  to  Og,  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites,  and  unto  the  land  of 
them,  whom  he  destroyed. 

5  *And  the  Lord  shall  give  them  up  before  your  face,  that 
ye  may  do  unto  them  according  unto  all  the  commandments 
which  I  have  commanded  you. 

6  'Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage,  *fear  not,  nor  be  afraid 
of  them :  for  the  Lord  thy  God,  'he  it  is  that  doth  go  with 
thee  ;  ""he  will  not  fell  thee,  nor  forsake  thee. 

7  ^And  Mo'ses  called  unto  Josh'u-a,  and  said  unto  him 
in  the  sight  of  all  Is'ra-el,  "Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage  : 
for  thou  must  go  with  this  people  unto  the  land  which  the 
Lord  hath  sworn  unto  their  fathers  to  give  them ;  and  thou 
shalt  cause  them  to  inherit  it. 

8  And  the  Lord,  "he  ii  is  that  doth  go  before  thee ;  "he 
will  be  with  thee,  he  will  not  fail  thee,  neither  forsake  thee : 
fear  not,  neither  be  dismayed. 

9  ^And  Mo'ses  wrote  this  law,  'and  delivered  it  unto  the 
priests  the  sons  of  Le'vi,*" which  bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord,  and  unto  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el. 

10  And  Mo'ses  commanded  them,  saying.  At  the  end  of 
every  seven  years,  in  the  solemnity  of  the  'year  of  release, 
'in  the  feast  of  tabernacles, 

11  When  all  Is'ra-el  is  come  to  "appear  before  the  Lord 
thy  God  in  the  place  which  he  shall  choose,  "'thou  shalt  read 
this  law  before  all  Is'ra-el  in  their  hearing. 

12  "Gather  the  people  together,  men,  and  women,  and 
children,  and  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates,  that  they 
may  hear,  and  that  they  may  learn,  and  fear  the  Lord  your 
God,  and  observe  to  do  all  the  words  of  this  law: 

13  A  nd  that  their  children,'which  have  not  known  any  thing, 
"may  hear,  and  learn  to  fear  the  Lord  your  God,  as  long  as 
ye  live  in  the  land  whither  ye  go  over  Jor'dan  to  possess  it. 

14  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  ""Behold,  thy  days 
approach  that  thou  mu<?t  die  ;  call  Josh'u-a,  and  present  your- 
selves in  the  taberiacle  of  the  congregation,  that  "I  may 
give  him  a  charge.  And  Mo'ses  and  Josh'u-a  went,  and  pre- 
sented themselves  in  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

15  And  "^he  Lord  appeared  in  the  tabernacle  in  a  pillar 
of  a  cloud :  and  the  pillar  of  the  cloud  stood  over  the  door 
of  tAc  tabernacle. 

18  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Behold,  thou  shalt 
tsleep  with  thy  fathers,  and  this  people  will  'rise  up,  and 
■^go  a  whoring  after  the  gods  of  the  strangers  of  the  land, 
whither  they  go  to  be  among  them,  and  will  'forsake  me, 
and  'break  my  covenant  which  I  have  made  with  them. 

17  Then  my  anger  shall  be  kindled  against  them  in  that 
day,  and  'I  will  forsake  them,  and  I  will  *hide  my  face  from 
them,  and  they  shall  be  devoured,  and  many  evils  and 
troubles  shall  fbefall  them;  so  that  they  will  say  in  that 
day,  'Are  not  these  evils  come  upon  us,  because  our  God 
is  "'not  among  us? 

18  And  "I  will  surely  hide  my  face  in  ihat  day  for  all  the 
evils  which  they  shall  have  wrought,  in  that  they  are  turned 
unto  other  gods. 

19  Now  therefore  write  ye  this  song  for  you,  and  teach 
it  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  put  it  in  their  mouths,  that  this 
song  may  be  "a  witness  for  me  against  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

20  For  when  I  shall  have  brought  them  into  the  land 
which  I  sware  unto  their  fathers,  that  floweth  with  milk  and 
honey ;  and  they  shall  have  eaten  and  filled  themselves, 
"and  waxen  fkt ;  'then  will  they  turn  unto  other  gods,  and 
serve  them,  and  provoke  me,  and  break  my  covenant. 


come  in :  and  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  me.  Thou  shalt 

3  not  go  over  this  Jor'dan.  The  Lord  thy  God,  he  will 
go  over  before  thee  ;  he  will  destroy  these  nations 
from  before  thee,  and  thou  shalt  possess  them :  and 
Josh'u-a,  he  shall  go  over  before  thee,  as  the  Lord 

4  hath  spoken.  And  the  Lord  shall  do  unto  them  as 
he  did  to  Si'hon  and  to  Og,  the  kings  of  the  Am-o'rites, 

5  and  unto  their  land  ;  whom  he  destroyed.  And  the 
Lord  shall  deliver  them  up  before  you,  and  ye  shall 
do  unto  them  according  unto  all  the  commandment 

6  which  I  have  commanded  you.  Be  strong  and  of  a 
good  courage,  fear  not,  nor  be  affrighted  at  them :  for 
the  Lord  thy  God,  he  it  is  that  doth  go  with  thee  ;  he 

7  will  not  fail  thee,  nor  forsake  thee.  And  Mo'ses  called 
unto  Josh'u-a,  and  said  unto  him  in  the  sight  of  all 
Is'ra-el,  Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage  :  for  thou 
shalt  go  with  this  people  into  the  land  which  the' 
Lord  hath  sworn  unto  their  fathers  to  give  them ; 

Sand  thou  shalt  cause  them  to  inherit  it.  And  the 
Lord,  be  it  is  that  doth  go  before  thee ;  he  will  be 
with  thee,  he  will  not  fail  thee,  neither  forsake  thee : 
fear  not,  neither  be  dismayed. 

9  And  Mo'ses  wrote  this  law,  and  delivered  it  unto 
the  priests  the  sons  of  Le'vi,  which  bare  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and  unto  all  the  elders  of 

10  Is'ra-el.  And  Mo'ses  commanded  them,  saying.  At 
the  end  of  every  seven  years,  in  the  set  time   of  the 

11  year  of  release,  in  the  feast  of  tabernacles,  when  all 
Is'ra-el  is  come  to  appear  before  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  the  place  which  he  shall  choose,  thou  shalt  read 

12  this  law  before  all  Is'ra-el  in  their  hearing.  Assemble 
the  people,  the  men  and  the  women  and  the  little 
ones,  and  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates,  that 
they  may  hear,  and  that  they  may  learn,  and  fear 
the  Lord  your  God,  and  observe  to  do  all  the  words 

13 of  this  law;  and  that  their  children,  which  have  not 
known,  may  hear,  and  learn  to  fear  the  Lord  your 
God,  as  long  as  ye  live  in  the  land  whither  ye  go  over 
Jor'dan  to  possess  it. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Behold,  thy  days 
approach  that  thou  must  die :  call  Josh'u-a,  and  pre- 
sent yourselves  in  the  tent  of  meeting,  that  I  may  give 
him  a  charge.     And  Mo'ses  and  Josh'u-a  went,  and 

15  presented  themselves  in  the  tent  of  meeting.  And 
the  Lord  appeared  in  the  Tent  in  a  pillar  of  cloud: 
and  the  pillar  of  cloud  stood  'over  the  door  of  the 

16  Tent.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses,  Behold, 
thou  shalt  sleep  •with  thy  fathers ;  and  this  people 
will  rise  up,  and  go  a  whoring  after  the  strange  gods 
of  the  land,  whither  they  go  to  be  among  them, 
and  will  forsake  me,  and  break  my  covenant  which 

171  have  made  with  them.  Then  my  anger  shall  be 
kindled  against  them  in  that  day,  and  I  will  forsake 
them,  and  I  will  hide  my  face  from  them,  and  they 
shall  be  devoured,  and  many  evils  and  troubles  shall 
come  upon  them ;  so  that  they  will  say  in  that  day, 
Are  not  these  evils  come  upon  us  because  our  God 

18  is  not  among  us  ?  And  I  will  surely  hide  my  face 
in  that  day  for  all  the  evil  which  they  shall  have 
wrought,  in  that  they  are  turned  unto  other  gods. 

19  Now  therefore  write  ye  this  song  for  you,  and  teach 
thou  it  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  put  it  in  their  mouths, 
that  this  song  may  be  a  witness  for  me  against  the 

20  children  of  Is'ra-el.  For  when  I  shall  have  brought 
them  into  the  land  which  I  sware  unto  their  fathers, 
flowing  with  milk  and  honey;  and  they  shall 
have  eaten  and  filled  themselves,  and  waxen  fat; 
then  will  they  turn  unto  other  gods,  and  serve 
them,  and    despise    me,    and    break   my    covenant.

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 'when  many  evils  and 
troubles  are  befallen  them,  that  this  song  shall  testify 
fagainst  them  as  a  witness ;  for  it  shall  not  be  forgotten 
out  of  the  mouths  of  their  seed :  for  'I  know  their 
imagination  'which  fthey  go  about,  even  now,  before  I 
have  brought  them  into  the  land  which  I  sware. 

22  ^Mo'ses  therefore  wrote  this  song  the  same  day, 
and  taught  it  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

23  "And  he  gave  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun  a  charge, 
and  said,  'Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage :  for  thou 
shalt  bring  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  into  the  land  which  I 
sware  unto  them :  and  I  will  be  with  thee. 

24  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo'ses  had  made  an 
end  of  "writing  the  words  of  this  law  in  a  book,  until  they 
were  finished, 

25  That  Mo'ses  commanded  the  Le'vites  which  bare 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  saying, 

26  Take  this  book  of  the  law,  'and  put  it  in  the  side 
of  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  your  God,  that 
it  may  be  there  "for  a  witness  against  thee. 

27  'For  I  know  thy  rebellion,  and  thy  ""stiff  neck:  behold, 
while  I  am  yet  alive  with  you  this  day,  ye  have  been  re- 
bellious against  the  Lord;  and  how  much  more  after 
my  death? 

28  ^Gather  unto  me  all  the  elders  of  your  tribes,  and 
your  officers,  that  I  may  speak  these  words  in  their 
ears,  ''and  call  heaven  and  earth  to  record  against  them. 

29  For  I  know  that  after  my  death  ye  will  utterly  'cor- 
rupt yourselves,  and  turn  aside  from  the  way  which  I 
have  commanded  you ;  and  ■'evil  will  befall  you  "in  the  lat- 
ter days ;  because  ye  will  do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
to  provoke  him  to  anger  through  the  work  of  your  hands. 

30  And  Mo'ses  spake  in  the  ears  of  all  the  congregation 
of  Is'ra-el  the  words  of  this  song,  until  they  were  ended. 

CHAPTER  XXXII. 

Moses*  song,  which  setteth  forth  God's  mercy  and  vengeance. 

GIVE  "ear,  O  ye  heavens,  and  I  will  speak ;    and 
hear,  O  earth,  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

2  'My  doctrine  shall  drop  as  the  rain,  my  speech 
shall  distil  as  the  dew,  "as  the  small  rain  upon  the  ten- 
der herb,  and  as  the  showers  upon  the  grass  : 

3  Because  I  will  publish  the  name  of  the  Lord  : 
'ascribe  ye  greatness  unto  our  God. 

4  He  is  'the  Kock,  ■'^his  work  is  perfect :  for  'all  his 
ways  are  judgment:  *a  God  of  truth  and  'without  in- 
iquity, just  and  right  is  he. 

5  t*They  have  corrupted  themselves,  ||  their  spot  is 
not  the  spot  of  his  children :  they  are  a  'perverse  and 
crooked  generation. 

6  Do  ye  thus  "requite  the  Lord,  O  foolish  people 
and  unwise  ?  is  not  he  "thy  father  that  hath  "bought 
thee  ?  hath  he  not  "made  thee,  and  established  thee  ? 

7  ^Remember  the  days  of  old,  consider  the  years  of 
fmany  generations :  «ask  thy  father,  and  he  will  shew 
thee;  thy  elders,  and  they  will  tell  thee. 

8  When  the  Most  High  'divided  to  the  nations  their 
inheritance,  when  he  'separated  the  sons  of  Ad'am,  he 
set  the  bounds  of  the  people  according  to  the  number 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

9  For  'the  Lord's  portion  is  his  people ;  Ja'cob  is  the 
flot  of  his  inheritance. 

10  He  found  him  "in  a  desert  land,  and  in  the  waste 
howling  wilderness;  he  ||led  him  about,  he  ""instructed 
him,  he  "kept  him  as  the  apple  of  his  eye. 

11  'As  an  eagle  stirreth  up  her  nest,  fluttereth  over 
her  young,  spreadeth  abroad  her  wings,  taketh  them, 
beareth  them  on  her  wings  : 

12  <So  the  Lord  alone  did  lead  him,  and  there  was 
no  strange  god  with  him. 


21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  many  evils  and  troubles  are 
come  upon  them,  that  this  song  shall  testify  before  them  as 
a  witness ;  for  it  shall  not  be  forgotten  out  of  the  mouths  of 
their  seed :  for  I  know  their  imagination  which  they  go 
about,  even  now,  before  I  have  brought  them  into  the  land 

22  which  I  sware.     So  Mo'ses  wrote  this  song  the  same  day, 

23  and  taught  it  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he  gave  Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  Nun  a  charge,  and  said,  Be  strong  and  of  a  good 
courage :  forthou  shalt  bring  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  into  the 
land  which  I  sware  unto  them  :  and  I  will  be  with  thee. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Mo'ses  had  made  an  end  of 
writing  the  words  of  this  law  in  a  book,  until  they  were 

25  finished,  that  Mo'ses  commanded  the  Le'vites,  which  bare 

26  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  saying,  Take  this 
book  of  the  law,  and  put  it  by  the  side  of  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  your  God,  that  it  may  be  there  for  a 

27  witness  against  thee.  For  I  know  thy  rebellion,  and  thy 
stiff  neck :  behold,  while  I  am  yet  alive  Avith  you  this  day, 
ye  have  been  rebellious  against  the  Lord  ;  and  how  much 

28  more  after  my  death  ?  Assemble  unto  me  all  the  elders  of 
your  tribes,  and  your  officers,  that  I  may  speak  these  words 
in  their  ears,  and  call  heaven  and  earth  to  witness  against 

29  them.  For  I  know  that  after  my  death  ye  will  utterly  corrupt 
yourselves,  and  turn  aside  from  the  way  which  I  have  com- 
manded you ;  and  evil  will  befall  you  in  the  latter  days ;  be- 
cause ye  will  do  that  which  is  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
to  provoke  him  to  anger  through  the  work  of  your  hands. 

30  And  Mo'ses  spake  in  the  ears  of  all  the  assembly  of 
Is'ra-el  the  words  of  this  song,  until  they  were  finished. 

^^Give  ear,  ye  heavens,  and  I  will  speak; 

And  let  the  earth  hear  the  words  of  my  mouth ; 

2  My  doctrine  shall  drop  as  the  rain. 
My  speech  shall  distil  as  the  dew ; 

As  the  small  rain  upon  the  tender  grass, 
And  as  the  showers  upon  the  herb  : 

3  For  I  will  proclaim  thw  name  of  the  Lord  : 
Ascribe  ye  greatness  unto  our  God. 

4  The  Rock,  his  work  is  perfect ; 
For  all  his  ways  are  judgement : 

A  God  of  faithfulness  and  without  iniquity, 
Just  and  right  is  he. 

5  They  have  'dealt  corruptly  with  him,  they  are  not  his 

children,  Ht  is  their  blemish ; 
They  are  a  perverse  and  crooked  generation. 

6  Do  ye  thus  requite  the  Lord, 
O  foolish  people  and  unwise  ? 

Is  not  he  thy  father  that  hath  'bought  thee  ? 
He  hath  made  thee,  and  established  thee. 

7  Remember  the  days  of  old. 

Consider  the  years  of  many  generations : 
Ask  thy  father,  and  he  will  shew  thee; 
Thine  elders,  and  they  will  tell  thee. 

8  When  the  Most  High  gave  to  the  nations  their  inheritance, 
When  he  separated  the  children  of  men. 

He  set  the  bounds  of  the  peoples 

According  to  the  number  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-ei. 

9  Fwr  the  Lord's  portion  is  his  people  ; 
Ja'cob  is  the  lot  of  his  inheritance. 

10  He  found  him  in  a  desert  land, 

And  in  the  waste  howling  wilderness; 

He  compassed  him  about,  he  cared  for  him, 

He  kept  him  as  the  apple  of  his  eye  : 

11  As  an  eagle  that  stirreth  up  her  nest. 
That  fluttereth  over  her  young, 

^He  spread  abroad  his  wings,  he  took  them, 
He  bare  them  on  his  pinions  : 

12  The  Lord  alone  did  lead  him. 

And  there  Avas  no  strange  god  with  him.

13  "He  made  him  ride  on  the  high  places  of  the  earth, 
that  he  might  eat  the  increase  of  the  fields ;  and  he  made 
him  to  suck  'honey  out  of  the  rock,  and  oil  out  of 
the  flinty  rock; 

14  Butter  of  kine,  and  milk  of  sheep,  with  fat  of  lambs, 
and  rams  of  the  breed  of  Ba'shan,  and  goats,  "with  the 
fat  of  kidneys  of  wheat ;  and  thou  didst  drink  the  pure 
''blood  of  the  grape. 

15  ^But  "Jesh'u-run  waxed  fat,  and-'^kicked :  "thou 
art  waxen  fat,  thou  art  grown  thick,  thou  art  cov- 
ered with  fatness;  then  he  ''forsook  God  which 
'made  him,  and  lightly  esteemed  the  *Rock  of  his 
salvation. 

16  'They  provoked  him  to  jealousy  with  strange  gods, 
with  abominations  provoked  they  him  to  nnger. 

17  "They  sacrificed  unto  devils,  ||  not  to  God;  to 
gods  whom  they  knew  not,  to  new  gods  that  came 
newly  up,  whom  your  fathers  feared  not. 

18  "Of  the  Rock  that  begat  thee  thou  art  unmindful, 
and  hast  "forgotten  God  that  formed  thee. 

19  ''And  when  the  Lord  .saw  it,  he  ||  abhorred  them, 
'because  of  the  provoking  of  his  sons,  and  of  his 
daughters. 

20  And  he  said,  'I  will  hide  my  face  from  them,  I  will 
see  what  their  end  shall  be :  for  they  are  a  very  froward 
generation,  'children  in  whom  is  no  faith. 

21  'They  have  moved  me  to  jealousy  with  that  which 
is  not  God;  they  have  provoked  me  to  anger  "with 
their  vanities:  and  "■!  will  move  them  to  jealousy  with

anger  with  a  foolish  nation. 

22  For  "a  fire  is  kindled  in  mine  anger,  and  ||  shall 
burn  unto  the  lowest  hell,  and  ||  shall  consume  the  earth 
with  her  increase,  and  set  on  fire  the  foundations  of  the 
mountains. 

23  I  will  "heap  mischiefs  upon  them;  "I  will  spend 
mine  arrows  upon  them. 

24  They  shall  be  burnt  with  hunger,  and  devoured 
with  fburning  heat,  and  with  bitter  destruction :  I  will 
also  send  Hhe  teeth  of  beasts  upon  them,  with  the 
poison  of  serpents  of  the  dust. 

25  "The  sword  without,  and  terror  fwithin,  shall 
fdestroy  both  the  young  man  and  the  virgin,  the 
suckling  also  with  the  man  of  gray  hairs. 

26  ''I  said,  I  would  scatter  them  into  corners,  I  would 
make  the  remembrance  of  them  to  cease  from  among 
men: 

27  Were  it  not  that  I  feared  the  wrath  of  the  enemy, 
lest  their  adversaries  "should  behave  themselves 
strangely,  and  lest  they  should  •''say,  ||  Our  hand  is 
high,  and  the  LoED  hath  not  done  all  this. 

28  For  they  are  a  nation  void  of  counsel,  'neither  is 
there  any  understanding  in  them. 

29  *0  that  they  were  wise,  that  they  understood  this, 
'that  they  would  consider  their  latter  end ! 

30  How  should  *one  chase  a  thousand,  and  two  put 
ten  thousand  to  flight,  except  their  Rock  'had  sold 
them,  and  the  Lord  had  shut  them  up? 

31  For  "their  rock  is  not  as  our  Rock,  "even  our 
enemies  themselves  being  judges: 

32  For  "their  vine  ||  is  of  the  vine  of  Sod'om,  and  of 
the  fields  of  Go-mor'rah  :  their  grapes  are  grapes  of  gall, 
their  clusters  are  bitter : 


13  He  made  him  ride  on  the  high  places  of  the  earth, 
And  he  did  eat  the  increase  of  the  field ; 

And  he  made  him  to  suck  honey  out  of  the  rock, 
And  oil  out  of  the  flinty  rock ; 

14  Butter  of  kine,  and  milk  of  sheep, 
AVith  fat  of  lambs. 

And  rams  of  the  breed  of  Ba'shan,  and  goats, 

AVith  the  fat  of  kidneys  of  wheat ; 

And  of  the  blood  of  the  grape  thou  drankest  wine. 

15  But  Jesh'u-run  waxed  fat,  and  kicked : 

Thou  art  waxen  fat,  thou  art  grown  thick,  thou   art 

become  sleek : 
Then  he  forsook  God  which  made  him. 
And  lightly  esteemed  the  Rock  of  his  salvation. 

16  They  moved  him  to  jealousy  with  strange  gods. 
With  abominations  provoked  they  him  to  anger. 

17  They  sacrificed  unto  demons,  which  were  no  God, 
To  gods  whom  they  knew  not. 

To  new  gods  that  came  up  of  late. 
Whom  your  fathers  dreaded  not. 

18  Of  the  Rock  that  'begat  thee  thou  art  unmindful. 
And  hast  forgotten  God  that  gave  thee  birth. 

19  And  the  Lord  saw  it,  and  abhorred  them, 

Because  of  the  provocation  of  his  sons  and  his  daughters. 

20  And  he  said,  I  will  hide  my  face  from  them, 
I  will  see  what  their  end  shall  be: 

For  they  are  a  very  froward  generation, 
Children  in  whom  is  no  faith. 

21  Theyhave  moved  me tojealousy  with thatwhichisnotGod; 
They  have  provoked  me  to  anger  with  their  vanities ; 
And  I  will  move  them  to  jealousy  with  those  which  are 

not  a  people; 
I  will  provoke  them  to  anger  with  a  foolish  nation. 

22  For  a  fire  is  kindled  in  mine  anger, 
And  burneth  unto  the  lowest  ^pit, 

And  devoureth  the  earth  with  her  increase. 

And  setteth  on  fire  the  foundations  of  the  mountains. 

23  I  will  heap  mischiefs  upon  them; 

I  will  spend  mine  arrows  upon  them: 

24  They  shall  be  wasted  with  hunger,  and  devoured  with 

^burning  heat 
And  bitter  destruction; 

And  the  teeth  of  beasts  will  I  send  upon  them. 
With  the  poison  of  crawling  things  of  the  dust. 

25  Without  shall  the  sword  bereave. 
And  in  the  chambers  terror; 

It  shall  destroy  both  young  man  and  virgin. 
The  suckling  with  the  man  of  gray  hairs. 

26  I  said,  I  would  scatter  them  afar, 

I  would  make  the  remembrance  of  them  to  cease  from 
among  men : 

27  Were  it  not  that  I  feared  the  provocation  of  the  enemy. 
Lest  their  adversaries  should  misdeem. 
Lest  they  should  say,  Our  hand  is  exalted. 
And  the  Lord  hath  not  done  all  this. 

28  For  they  are  a  nation  void  of  counsel. 
And  there  is  no  understanding  in  them. 

29  Oh  that  they  were  wise,  that  they  understood  this, 
That  they  would  consider  their  latter  end! 

30  How  should  one  chase  a  thousand, 
And  two  put  ten  thousand  to  flight. 
Except  their  Rock  had  sold  them. 
And  the  Lord  had  delivered  them  up? 

31  For  their  rock  is  not  as  our  Rock, 
Even  our  enemies  themselves  being  judges. 

32  For  their  vine  is  of  the  vine  of  Sod'om, 
And  of  the  fields  of  Go-mor'rah : 
Their  grapes  are  grapes  of  ^gall, 
Their  clusters  are  bitter :

45  And  Mo'ses  made  an  end  of  speaking  all  these

ye  shall  command  your  children  to  observe  to  do,  all

48  ''And  the  Loed  spake  unto  Mo'ses  that  selfsame 
day,  saying, 

49  Get  thee  up  into  this  'mountain  Ab'a-rim,  unto 
mount  Ne'bo,  which  is  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  that  is  over 
against  Jer'i-cho ;  and  behold  the  land  of  Ca'naan, which 
I  give  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  for  a  possession : 

50  And  die  in  the  mount  whither  thou  goest  up,  and 
be  gathered  unto  thy  people ;  as  ""Aa'ron  thy  brother  died 
in  mount  Hor,  and  was  gathered  unto  his  people :

dren of  Is'ra-el  at  tne  waters  of  ||  Mer'i-bah-Ka'desh, 
in  the  wilderness  of  Zin  ;  because  ye  'sanctified  me  not 
in  the  midst  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

52  "Yet  thou  shalt  see  the  land  before  thee  ;  but  thou 
shalt  not  go  thither  unto  the  land  which  I  give  the

CHAPTER  XXXIII. 

Majesty  of  God— Blessings  of  the  twelve  tribes — Excellency  of  Israel. 

AND  this  is  "the  blessing,  wherewith  Mo'ses  'the 
man  of  God  blessed  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  before 
his  death. 

2  And  he  said,  "The  Ix)rd  came  from  Si'nai,  and  rose 
up  from  Se'ir  unto  them  ;  he  shined  forth  from  mount 
Pa'ran,  and  he  came  with  ""ten  thousands  of  saints: 
from  his  right  hand  went  fa  fiery  law  for  them. 


33  Their  wine  is  the  poison  of  dragons, 
And  the  cruel  venom  of  asps. 

34  Is  not  this  laid  up  in  store  with  me, 
Sealed  up  'among  my  treasures? 

35  Vengeance  is  mine,  and  recompence. 
At  the  time  when  their  foot  shall  slide : 
For  the  day  of  their  calamity  is  at  hand. 
And  the  things  that  are  to  come  upon  them  shall  make 

haste. 

36  For  the  Lord  shall  judge  his  people, 
And  repent  himself  for  his  servants ; 
When  he  seeth  that  th^ir  power  is  gone, 

And  there  is  none  remaining,  shut  up  or  left  at  large. 

37  And  he  shall  say.  Where  are  their  gods. 
The  rock  in  which  they  trusted ; 

38  Which  did  eat  the  fat  of  their  sacrifices, 
And  drank  the  wine  of  their  drink  offering  ? 
Let  them  rise  up  and  help  you, 

Let  them  be  your  protection. 

39  See  now  that  I,  even  I,  am  he, 
And  there  is  no  god  with  me: 
I  kill,  and  I  make  alive ; 

I  Lave  wounded,  and  I  heal : 

And  there  is  none  that  can  deliver  out  of  my  hand. 

40  For  I  lift  up  my  hand  to  heaven, 
And  say.  As  I  live  lor  ever, 

41  If  I  whet  'my  glittering  sword. 

And  mine  hand  take  hold  on  judgement ; 
I  will  render  vengeance  to  mine  adversaries, 
And  will  recompense  them  that  hate  me. 

42  I  will  make  mine  arrows  drunk  with  blood, 
And  my  sword  shall  devour  flesh ; 

With  the  blood  of  the  slain  and  the  captives, 
^From  'the  head  of  the  leaders  of  the  enemy. 

43  'Rejoice,  O  'ye  nations  wiih  his  people : 

For  he  will  avenge  the  blood  of  his  servants. 
And  will  render  vengeance  to  his  adversaries, 
And  will  make  expiation  for  his  land,  for  his  people. 

44  And  Mo'ses  came  and  spake  all  the  words  of  this  song  in 
the  ears  of  the  people,  he,  and  Ho^«he'  a  the  son  of  Nun. 

45  And  Mo'ses  made  an  end  of  speaking  all  these  words  to  all 

46  Is'ra-el :  and  he  said  unto  them.  Set  your  heart  unto  all  the 
words  which  I  testify  unto  you  this  day ;  which  ye  shall 
command  your  children,  to  observe  to  do  all  the  words  of 

47  this  law.  For  it  is  no  vain  thing  for  you  ;  because  it  is 
your  life,  and  through  this  thing  ye  shall  prolong  your 
days  upon  the  land,whither  ye  go  over  Jor'dan  to  possess  it. 

48  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  that  selfsame  day,  say 

49  ing,  Get  thee  up  into  this  mountain  of  Ab'a-rim,unto  mount 
Ne'bo,which  is  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  that  is  over  against  Jer'i- 
cho  ;  and  behold  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  which  I  give  unto  the 

50  children  of  Is'ra-el  for  a  possession  :  and  die  in  the  mount 
whither  thou  goest  up,  and  be  gathered  unto  thy  people;  as 
Aa'ron  thy  brother  died  in  mount  Hor,  and  was  gathered 

51  unto  his  people :  because  ye  trespassed  against  me  in  the 
midst  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  at  the  waters  of  Mer'i-bah  of 
Ka'de'sh,  in  the  wilderness  of  Zin ;  because  ye  sanctified 

52  me  not  in  the  midst  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  For  thou 
shalt  see  the  land  before  thee ;  but  thou  shalt  not  go 
thither  into  the  land  which  I  give  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

^O     And  this  is  the  blessing,  wherewith  Mo'ses  the  man 
of  God  blessed  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  before  his  death. 
2  And  he  said, 

The  Lord  came  from  Si'nai, 

And  rose  from  Se'ir  unto  them ; 

He  shined  forth  from  mount  Pa'ran, 

And  he  came  from  the  ten  thousands  of 'holy  ones: 

At  his  right  hand  'was  a  fiery  law  unto  them.

hand :  and  they  "sat  down  at  thy  feet ;  every  one  shall 
^receive  of  thy  words. 

4  'Mo'ses  commanded  us  a  law,  ''even  the  inheritance 
of  the  congregation  of  Ja'cob. 

5  And  he  was  'king  in  ""Jesh'u-run,  when  the  heads 
of  the  people  and  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  were  gathered 
together. 

6  T[Let  Reu'ben  live,  and  not  die ;  and  let  not  his  men 
be  few. 

7  ^And  this  is  the  blessing  of  Ju'dah :  and  he 
said,  Hear,  Lord,  the  voice  of  Ju'dah,  and  bring 
him  unto  his  people :  "let  his  hands  be  sufficient 
for  him;  and  be  thou  "a  help  to  him  from  his 
enemies. 

8  %And  of  Le'vi  he  said,  "Let  thy  Thum'mim  and 
thy  U'rim  be  with  thy  holy  one,  "whom  thou  didst  prove 
at  Mas'sab,  and  with  whom  thou  didst  strive  at  the

10  .  II  "They  shall  teach  Ja'cob  thy  judgments,and  Is'ra-el

against  him,  and  of  them  that  hate  him,  that  they  rise 
not  again. 

12  ^And  of  Ben'ja-min  he  said,  The  beloved  of  the 
Lord  shall  dwell  in  safety  by  him;  and  the  Lord 
shall  cover  him  all  the  day  long,  and  he  shall  dwell 
between  his  shoulders. 

13  ^And  of  Jo'seph  he  said,  "Blessed  of  the  Lord  be 
his  land,  for  the  precious  things  of  heaven,  for  'the  dew, 
and  for  the  deep  that  coucheth  beneath, 

14  And  for  the  precious  fruits  brought  forth  by  the 
sun,  and  for  the  precious  things  fput  forth  by  the 
fmoon, 

15  And  for  the  chief  things  of  "the  ancient  mount- 
ains, and  for  the  precious  things  ''of  the  lasting 
hills, 

16  And  for  the  precious  things  of  the  earth  and  ful- 
ness thereof,  and  for  the  good  will  of  'him  that  dwelt 
in  the  bush :  let  the  blessing  /come  upon  the  head  of 
Jo'seph,  and  upon  the  top  of  the  head  of  him  that  was 
separated  from  his  brethren. 

17  His  glory  is  like  the  'firstling  of  his  bullock, 
and  his  horns  are  like  *the  horns  of  funicorns :  with 
them  'he  shall  push  the  people  together  to  the 
ends  of  the  earth :  and  *they  are  the  ten  thou- 
sands of  E'phra-im,  and  they  are  the  thousands  of 
Ma-nas'seh. 

18  ^And  of  Zeb'u-lun  he  said,  'Rejoice,  Zeb'u-lun,  in 
thy  going  out ;  and,  Is'sa-char,  in  thy  tents. 

19  They  shall  "call  the  people  unto  the  mountain  ; 
there  "they  shall  offer  sacrifices  of  righteousness:  for 
they  shall  suck  of  the  abundance  of  the  seas,  and  of 
treasures  hid  in  the  sand. 

20  ^And  of  Gad  he  said.  Blessed  be  he  that  "en- 
largeth  Gad :  he  dwelleth  as  a  lion,  and  teareth  the 
arm  with  the  crown  of  the  head. 


3  Yea,  he  loveth  the  'peoples; 
All  ^his  saints  are  in  thy  hand : 
And  they  sat  down  at  thy  feet ; 
Every  one  'shall  receive  of  thy  words. 

4  Mo'ses  commanded  us  a  law. 

An  inheritance  for  the  assembly  of  Ja'cob. 

5  And  %e  was  king  in  Jesh'u-run, 

When  the  heads  of  the  people  were  gathered, 
All  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  together. 

6  Let  Reu'ben  live,  and  not  die ; 
'Yet  let  his  men  be  few. 

7  And  this  is  the  blessing  of  Ju'dah :  and  he  said, 
Hear,  Lord,  the  voice  of  Ju'dah, 

And  bring  him  in  unto  his  people : 

'With  his  hands  he  contended  'for  himself; 

And  thou  shalt  be  an  help  against  his  adversaries. 

8  And  of  Le'vi  he  said, 

Thy  Thum'mim  and  thy  U'rim  are  with  Hhy  godly  one. 

Whom  thou  didst  prove  at  Mas'sah, 

With  whom  thou  didst  strive  at  the  waters  of  Mer'i-bah ; 

9  Who  said  of  his  father,  and  of  his  mother,  I  have  not 

seen  him ; 
Neither  did  he  acknowledge  his  brethren. 
Nor  knew  he  his  own  children : 
For  they  have  observed  thy  word. 
And  keep  thy  covenant. 

10  They  shall  teach  Ja'cob  thy  judgements. 
And  Is'ra-el  thy  law: 

They  shall  put  incense  'before  thee, 

And  whole  burnt  offering  upon  thine  altar. 

11  Bless,  Lord,  his  substance. 

And  accept  the  work  of  his  hands : 

Smite  through  the  loins  of  them  that  rise  up  against  him. 

And  of  them  that  hate  him,  that  they  rise  not  again. 

12  Of  Ben'ja-min  he  said. 

The  beloved  of  the  Lord  shall  dwell  in  safety  by  him ; 
He  covereth  him  all  the  day  long. 
And  he  dwelleth  between  his  shoulders. 

13  And  of  Jo'seph  he  said. 
Blessed  of  the  Lord  be  his  land ; 

For  the  precious  things  of  heaven,  for  the  dew, 
And  for  the  deep  that  coucheth  beneath, 

14  And  for  the  precious  things  of  the  fruits  of  the  sun. 
And  for  the  precious  things  of  the  growth  of  the  moons, 

15  And  for  the  chief  things  of  the  ancient  mountains. 
And  for  the  precious  things  of  the  everlasting  hills, 

16  And  for  the  precious  things  of  the  earth  and  the  fulness 

thereof. 
And  the  good  will  of  him  that  dwelt  in  the  bush : 
Let  the  blessing  come  upon  the  head  of  Jo'seph, 
And  upon  the  crown  of  the  head  of  him  '"that  was  sep- 
arate from  his  brethren. 

17  "The  firstling  of  his  bullock,  majesty  is  his; 
And  his  horns  are  the  horns  of  the  "wild-ox : 
With  them  he  shall  "push  the  peoples  all  of  them,  even 

the  ends  of  the  earth : 
And  they  are  the  ten  thousands  of  E'phra-im, 
And  they  are  the  thousands  of  Ma-nas'seh. 

18  And  of  Zeb'u-lun  he  said. 
Rejoice,  Zeb'u-lun,  in  thy  going  out ; 
And,  Is'sa-char,  in  thy  tents. 

19  They  shall  call  the  peoples  unto  the  mountain; 
There  shall  they  offer  sacrifices  of  righteousness: 
For  they  shall  suck  the  abundance  of  the  seas, 
And  the  hidden  treasures  of  the  sand. 

20  And  of  Gad  he  said. 
Blessed  be  he  that  enlargeth  Gad: 
He  dwelleth  as  a  lioness. 
And  teareth  the  arm,  yea,  the  crown  of  the  head.

CHAPTER  XXXIV. 

Moses  from  mount  Nebo  vteweth  the  land— He  dieth  there — His  burial. 

AND  Mo'ses  went  up  from  the  plains  of  Mo'ab  ""unto 
the  mountain  of  Ne'bo,  to  the  top  of  ||  Pis'gah,  that 
is  over  against  Jer'i-cho :  and  the  Lord  ''shewed  him 
all  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  "unto  Dan, 

2  And  all  Naph'ta-li,  and  the  land  of  E'phra-im,  and  Ma- 
nas'seh,  and  all  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  ''unto  the  utmost  sea, 

3  And  the  south,  and  the  plain  of  the  valley  of  Jer'i- 
cho,  'the  city  of  palm  trees,  unto  Zo'ar. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  ^This  is  the  land 
which  I  sware  unto  A'bra-ham,  unto  I'saac,  and  unto 
Ja'cob,  saying,  I  will  give  it  un+o  thy  seed :  "I  have 


caused  thee  to  see  it  with  thine  eyes,   but  thou  shalt 
not  go  over  thither. 

5  "[I'So  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  died  there  in 
the  land  of  Mo'ab,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  he  buried  him  in  a  valley  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab, 
over  against  Beth-pe'or :  but  'no  man  knoweth  of  his 
sepulchre  unto  this  day. 

7  %*And  Mo'ses  was  a  hundred  and  twenty  years 
old  when  he  died  :  'his  eye  was  not  dim,  nor  his  fnat- 
ural  force  fabated. 

8  ^  And  the  children  of  Ls'ra-el  wept  for  Mo'ses  in 
the  plains  of  Mo'ab  ""thirty  days  :  so  the  days  of  weep- 
ing and  mourning  for  Mo'ses  were  ended. 

9  ^  And  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun  was  full  of  the  "spirit 
of  wisdom  ;  for  "Mo'sas  had  laid  his  hands  upon  him : 
and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  hearkened  unto  him,  and 
did  as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

10  ^And  there  ^arose  not  a  prophet  since  in  Is'ra-el 
like  unto  Mo'ses,  "whom  the  Lord  knew  face  to  face, 

11  In  all  ""the  signs  and  the  wonders  which  the  Lord 
sent  him  to  do  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  Pha'raoh,  and 
to  all  his  servants,  and  to  all  his  land, 

12  And  in  all  that  mighty  hand,  and  in  all  the  great 
terror  which  Mo'ses  shewed  in  the  pight  of  all  Is'ra-el.

For  there  was  ^the  lawgiver's  portion  reserved; 
And  he  came  ^with  the  heads  of  the  people. 
He  executed  the  justice  of  the  Lord, 
And  his  judgements  with  Is'ra-el, 

And  of  Dan  he  said, 
Dan  is  a  lion's  whelp. 
That  leapeth  forth  from  Ba'shan. 

And  of  Naph'ta-li  he  said, 
O  Naph'ta-li,  satisfied  with  favour. 
And  full  with  the  blessing  of  the  Lord  % 
Possess  thou  the  'west  and  the  south. 

And  of  Ash'er  he  said.

And  let  him  dip  his  foot  in  oil. 
Thy  ^bars  shall  be  iron  and  brass ; 
And  as  thy  days,  so  shall  thy  'strength  be. 

There  is  none  like  unto  God,  O  Jesh'u-run, 
Who  rideth  upon  the  heaven  for  thy  help. 
And  in  his  excellency  on  the  skies. 
The  eternal  God  is  thy  dwelling  place, 
And  underneath  are  the  everlasting  arms  : 
And  he  thrust  out  the  enemy  from  before  thee, 
And  said,  Destroy. 
And  Is'ra-el  dwelleth  in  safety. 
The  fountain  of  Ja'cob  alone, 
In  a  land  of  corn  and  wine ; 
Yea,  his  heavens  drop  down  dew. 
Happy  art  thou,  O  Is'ra-el : 
Who  is  like  unto  thee,  a  people  saved  by  the  Lord, 
The  shield  of  thy  help. 
And  that  is  the  sword  of  thy  excellency  ! 
And  thine  enemies  shall  'submit  themselves  unto  thee ; 
And  thou  shalt  tread  upon  their  high  places. 

v^  AndMo'ses  went  up  from  the  plains  of  Mo'ab  unto  mount 
Ne'bo,  to  the  top  of  Pis'gah,  that  is  over  against  Jer'i-cho. 
And  the  Lord  shewed  him  all  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  unto 

2  Dan ;  and  all  Naph'ta-li,  and  the  land  of  E'phra-im  andMa- 

3  nas'seh,  and  all  the  laud  of  Ju'dah,  unto  the  'hinder  sea ;  and 
the  South,  and  the  Plain  of  the  valley  of  Jer'i-cho  the  city 

4  of  palm  trees,  unto  Zo'ar.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
This  is  the  land  which  I  sware  unto  A'bra-ham,  unto  I'saac, 
and  unto  Ja'cob,  saying,  I  will  give  it  unto  thy  seed:  I  have 
caused  thee  to  see  it  with  thine  eyes,  but  thou  shalt  not  go 

5  over  thither.  So  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  died 
there  in  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  according  to  the  word  of  the 

6  Lord.  And  '"he  buried  him  in  the  valley  in  the  land  of 
Mo'ab  over  against  Beth-pe'or :  but  no  man  knoweth  of  his 

7  sepulchre  unto  this  day.  And  Mo'ses  was  an  hundred  and 
twenty  years  old  when  he  died :  his  eye  was  not  dim,  nor 

8  his  natural  force  abated.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  wept 
for  Mo'ses  in  the  plains  of  Mo'ab  thirty  days :  so  the  days 

9  of  weeping  in  the  mourning  for  Mo'ses  were  ended.  And 
Josh'u-a  ihe  son  of  Nun  was  full  of  the  spirit  of  wisdom ;  for 
Mo'ses  had  laid  his  hands  upon  him  :  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  hearkened  unto  him,  and  did  as  the  Lord  com 

lOmanded  Mo'ses.  And  there  hath  not  arisen  a  prophet 
since  in  Is'ra-el  like  unto  Mo'ses,  whom  the  Lord  knew 

11  face  to  face ;  in  all  the  signs  and  the  wonders,  which  the 
Lord  sent  him  to  do  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  to  Pha'raoh, 

12  and  to  all  his  servants,  and  to  all  his  land ;  and  in  all  the 
mighty  hand,  and  in  all  the  great  terror,  which  Mo'ses

BOOK  OF  JOSHUA. 

CHAPTER   I. 

The  Lord  appointeth  Joshua  to  zucceed  Moses. 

"VrOW  after  the  death  of  Mo'ses,  the  servant  of  the  Lord, 
i-i  it  came  to  pass,  that  the  Lord  spake  unto  Josh'u-a  the 
son  of  Nun,  Mo'ses'  *  minister,  saying, 

2  *  Mo'ses  my  servant  is  dead ;  now  therefore  arise,  go  over 
liiiis  Jor'dan,  thou,  and  all  this  people,  unto  the  land  which  I 
do  give  to  them,  even  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

3  'Every  place  that  the  sole  of  your  foot  shall  tread  upon, 
that  have  I  given  unto  you,  as  I  said  unto  Mo'ses. 

4  ''From  tlie  wilderness  and  this  Leb'a-non  even  unto  the 
great  river,  the  river  Eu-phra'tes,  all  the  land  of  the  Hit'tites, 
and  unto  the  great  sea  toward  the  going  down  of  the  sun, 
shall  be  your  coast.

my  servant  commanded  thee :  'turn  not  from  it  to  the  right

10  T[Then  Josh'u-a  commanded  the  officers  of  the  people, 
saying, 

11  Pass  through  the  host,  and  command  the  people,  saying, 
Prepare  you  victuals;  for  'within  three  days  ye  shall  pass 
over  this  Jor'dan,  to  go  in  to  possess  the  land,  which  the 
Lord  your  God  giveth  you  to  possess  it. 

12  Tf  And  to  the  Reu'ben-ites,  and  to  the  Gad'ites,  and  to 
half  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  spake  Josh'u-a,  saying, 

13  Remember  'the  word  which  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  commanded  you,  saying.  The  Lord  your  God  hath 
given  you  rest,  and  hath  given  you  this  land. 

14  Your  wives,  your  little  ones,  and  your  cattle,  shall 
remain  in  the  land  which  Mo'ses  gave  you  on  this  side 
Jor'dan ;  but  ye  shall  pass  before  your  brethren  farmed, 
all  the  mighty  men  of  valor,  and  help  them; 

15  Until  the  Lord  have  given  your  brethren  rest,  as  he  hath 
given  you,  and  they  also  have  possessed  the  land  which  the 
Lord  your  God  giveth  them :  then  ye  shall  return  unto  the 
land  of  your  possession,  and  enjoy  it,  which  Mo'ses  the  Lord's 
servant  gave  you  on  this  side  Jor'dan  toward  the  sunrising. 

16  llAnd  they  answered  Josh'u-a,  saying.  All  that  thou 
commandest  us  we  will  do,  and  whithersoever  thou  sendest 
us,  we  will  go. 

17  According  as  we  hearkened  unto  Mo'ses  in  all  things, 
so  will  we  hearken  unto  thee :  only  the  Lord  thy  God  'be 
with  thee,  as  he  was  with  Mo'ses. 

18  Whosoever  he  be  that  doth  rebel  against  thy  command- 
ment, and  will  not  hearken  unto  thy  words  in  all  that  thou 
commandest  him,  he  shall  be  put  to  death  :  only  be  strong 
and  of  a  good  courage. 


THE 


BOOK  OF  JOSHUA. 


1 


Now  it  came  to  pass  after  the  death  of  Mo'ses  the 
servant  of  the  Lord,  that  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  Mo'ses'  minister,  saying, 

2  Mo'ses  my  servant  is  dead ;  now  therefore  arise,  go 
over  this  Jor'dan,  thou,  and  all  this  people,  unto  the 
land  which  I  do  give  to  them,  even  to  the  children 

3  of  Is'ra-el.  Every  place  that  the  sole  of  your  foot 
shall  tread  upon,  to  you  have  I  given  it,  as  I  spake 

4  unto  Mo'ses.     From  the  wilderness,  and  this  Leb' 
a-non,  even  unto  the  great  river,  the  river  Eu-phra'tes, 
all  the  land  of  the  Hit'tites,  and  unto  the  great  sea 
toward  the  going  down  of  the  sun,  shall  be  your 

5  border.  There  shall  not  any  man  be  able  to  stand 
before  thee  all  the  days  of  thy  life :  as  I  was  with 
Mo'ses,  so  I  will  be  with  thee :  I  will  not  fail  thee, 

6  nor  forsake  thee.  Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage : 
for  thou  shalt  cause  this  people  to  inherit  the  land 

7  which  I  sware  unto  their  fathers  to  give  them.    Only 
be  strop  g  and  very  courageous,  to  observe  to  do  ac 
cording  to  all  the  law,  which  Mo'ses  my  servant  com- 
manded thee :  turn  not  from  it  to  the  right  hand  or  to 
the  left,  that  thou  mayest  'have  good  success  whither 

8  soever  thou  goest.  This  book  of  the  law  shall  not 
depart  out  of  thy  mouth,  but  thou  shalt  meditate 
therein  day  and  night,  that  thou  mayest  observe  to 
do  according  to  all  that  is  written  therein :  for  then 
thou  shalt  make  thy  way  prosperous,  and  then  thou 

9  shalt  'have  good  success.  Have  not  I  commanded 
thee?  Be  strong  and  of  .i  rood  courage;  be  not 
aifrighted,  neither  be  thou  dismayed :  for  the  Lord 
thy  God  is  with  thee  whithersoever  thou  goest. 

10  Then    Josh'u-a    commanded  the   officers    of   the 

11  people,  saying,  Pass  through  the  midst  of  the  camp, 
and  command  the  people,  scrying.  Prepare  you  vie 
tuals ;  for  within  three  days  ye  are  to  pass  over  this 
Jor'dan,  to  go  in  to  possess  the  land,  which  the  Lord 
your  God  giveth  you  to  possess  it. 

12  And  to  the  Reu'ben-ites,  and  to  the  Gad'ites,  and  to 
the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  spake  Josh'u-a,  saying, 

13  Remember  the  word  which  Mo  ses  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  commanded  you,  saying,  The  Lord  your  God 

14  giveth  you  rest,  and  will  give  you  this  land.  Your 
wives,  your  little  ones,  and  your  cattle,  shall  abide 
in  the  land  which  Mo'ses  gave  you  beyond  Jor'dan ; 
but  ye  shall  pass  over  before  your  brethren  armed, 
all  the  mighty  men  of  valour,  and  shall  help  them ; 

15  until  the  Lord  have  given  your  brethren  rest,  as  he 
hath  given  you,  and  they  also  have  possessed  the 
land  which  the  Lord  your  God  giveth  them :  then 
ye  shall  return  unto  the  land  of  your  possession,  and 
possess  it,  which  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord 

16  gave  you  beyond  Jor'dan  toward  the  sunrising.  And 
they  answered  Josh'u-a,  saying.  All  that  thou  hast 
commanded  us  we  will  do,  and  whithersoever  thou 

17  sendest  us  we  will  go.  According  as  we  hearkened 
unto  Mo'ses  in  all  things,  so  will  we  hearken  unto 
thee:  only  the  Lord  thy  God  be  with  thee,  as  he 

18  was  with  Mo'ses.  Whosoever  he  be  that  shall  rebel 
against  thy  commandment,  and  shall  not  hearken 
unto  thy  words  in  all  that  thou  commandest  him,  he 
shall  be  put  to  death :  only  be  strong  and  of  a  good 
courage.

CHAF'TER  II. 

Rahab  concealeth  the  two  spies  sent  from  ShiUim. 

AND  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  ||  Nun  sent  "out  of  Shit'tim  two 
men  to  spy  secretly,  saying,  Go  view  the  land,  even  Jer'i- 
cho.  And  they  went,  and  'came  into  a  harlot's  house,  named 
"Ra'hab,  and  flodged  there. 

2  And  ''it  was  told  the  king  of  Jer'i-cho,  saying.  Behold, 
there  came  men  in  hither  to-night  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
to  search  out  the  country. 

3  And  the  king  of  Jer'i-cho  sent  unto  Ra'hab,  saying.  Bring 
forth  the  men  that  are  come  to  thee,  which  are  entered  into 
thine  house :  for  they  be  come  to  search  out  all  the  country. 

4  'And  the  woman  took  the  two  men,  and  hid  them,  and 
said  thus.  There  came  men  unto  me,  but  I  wist  not  whence 
they  were: 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  about  the  time  of  shutting  of  the 
gate,  when  it  was  dark,  that  the  men  went  out ;  whither  the 
men  went,  I  wot  not:  pursue  after  them  quickly;  for  ye 
shall  overtake  them. 

6  But  •'^she  had  brought  them  up  to  the  roof  of  the  house, 
and  hid  them  with  the  stalks  of  flax,  which  she  had  laid  in 
order  upon  the  roof. 

7  And  the  men  pursued  afl«r  them  the  way  to  Jor'dan  unto 
the  fords:  and  as  soon  as  they  which  pursued  after  them 
were  gone  out,  they  shut  the  gate. 

8  ^And  before  they  were  laid  down,  she  came  up  unto 
them  upon  the  roof; 

9  And  she  said  unto  the  men,  I  know  that  the  Lord  hath 
given  you  the  land,  and  that  "your  terror  is  fallen  upon  us, 
and  that  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land  ffaint  because  of  you. 

10  For  we  have  heard  how  the  Lord  ''dried  up  the  water  of 
the  Red  sea  for  you,  when  ye  came  out  of  E'gypt ;  and  'what 
ye  did  unto  the  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites,  that  were  on  the 
other  side  Jor'dan,  Si'hon  and  Og,  whom  ye  utterly  destroyed. 

11  And  as  soon  as  we  had  *heard  these  things,  'our  hearts 
did  melt,  neither  fdid  there  remain  any  more  courage  in 
any  man,  because  of  you :  for  "the  Lord  your  God,  he  is 
God  in  heaven  above,  and  in  earth  beneath. 

12  Now  therefore,  I  pray  you,  "swear  unto  me  by  the  Lord, 
since  I  have  shewed  you  kindness,  that  ye  will  also  shew 
kindness  unto  "my  father's  house,  and  "give  me  a  true  token: 

13  Anc^  that  ye  will  save  alive  my  father,  and  my  mother, 
and  my  brethren,  and  my  sisters,  and  all  that  they  have, 
and  deliver  our  lives  from  death. 

14  And  the  men  answered  her.  Our  life  ffor  yours,if  ye  utter 
not  this  our  business.  And  it  shall  be,  when  the  Lord  hath 
given  us  the  land,that  "we  will  deal  kindly  and  truly  with  thee. 

15  Then  she  'let  them  down  by  a  cord  through  the  win- 
dow :  for  her  house  was  upon  the  town  wall,  and  she  dwelt 
upon  the  wall. 

16  And  she  said  unto  them.  Get  you  to  the  mountain, 
lest  the  pursuers  meet  you ;  and  hide  yourselves  there  three 
days  until  the  pursuers  be  returned:  and  afterward  may  ye 
go  your  way. 

17  And  the  men  said  unto  her,  We  will  be  'blameless  of 
this  thine  oath  which  thou  hast  made  us  swear. 

18  'Behold,  when  we  come  into  the  land,  thou  shalt  bind 
this  line  of  scarlet  thread  in  the  window  which  thou  didst 
let  us  down  by :  "and  thou  shalt  fbring  thy  father,  and  thy 
mother,  and  thy  brethren,  and  all  thy  father's  household, 
home  unto  thee. 

19  And  it  shall  be,  that  whosoever  shall  go  out  of  the 
doors  of  thy  house  into  the  street,  his  blood  shall  be  upon 
his  head,  and  we  will  be  guiltless :  and  whosoever  shall  be 
with  thee  in  the  house,  ""his  blood  shall  be  on  our  head,  if 
any  hand  be  upon  him. 

20  And  if  thou  utter  this  our  business,  then  we  will  be 
quit  of  thine  oath  which  thou  hast  made  us  to  swear. 

21  And  she  said,  according  unto  your  words,  so  be  it. 


^  And  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun  sent  out  of  Shit'tim 
two  men  as  spies  secretly,  saying.  Go  view  the  land, 
and  Jer'i-cho.  And  they  went,  and  came  into  the 
house  of  an  harlot  whose  name  was  Ra'hab,  and  lay 

2  there.  And  it  was  told  the  king  of  Jer'i-cho,  saying. 
Behold,  there  came  men  in  hither  to-night  of  the 

3  children  of  Is'ra-el  to  search  out  the  land.  And  the 
king  of  Jer'i-cho  sent  unto  Ra'hab,  saying.  Bring  forth 
the  men  that  are  come  to  thee,  which  are  entered 
into  thine  house :  for  they  be  come  to  search  out  all 

4 the  land.  And  the  woman  took  the  two  men,  and 
hid  them;  and  she   said.  Yea,  the  men  came  unto 

5  me,  but  I  wist  not  whence  they  were  :  and  it  came 
to  pass  about  the  time  of  the  shutting  of  the  gate, 
when  it  was  dark,  that  the  men  went  out :  whither 
the  men  went  I  wot  not :  pursue  after  them  quickly ; 

6  for  ye  shall  overtake  them.  But  she  had  brought 
them  up  to  the  roetj  and  hid  them  with  the  stalks 
of  flax,  which  she  had  laid  in  order  upon  the  roof. 

7  And  the  men  pursued  after  them  the  way  to  Jor'dan 
unto  the  fords :  and  as  soon  as  they  which  pursued 

8  after  them  were  gone  out,  they  shut  the  gate.  And 
before  they  were  laid  down,  she  came  up  uuto  them 

9  upon  the  roof;  and  she  said  unto  the  men,  I  know 
that  the  Lord  hath  given  you  the  land,  and  that 
your  terror  is  fallen  upon  us,  and  that  all  the  in- 

10  habitants  of  the  land  melt  away  before  you.  For 
we  have  heard  how  the  Lord  dried  up  the  water  of 
the  Red  Sea  before  ^  ou,  when  ye  came  out  of  E'gypt  • 
and  what  ye  did  unto  the  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites, 
that  were   beyond  Jor'dan,  unto  Si'hon  and  to  Og, 

11  whom  ye  utterly  destroyed.  And  as  soon  as  wj 
had  heard  it,  our  hearts  did  melt,  neither  did  there 
remain  any  more  spirit  in  any  man,  because  of  you : 
for  the  Lord  your  God,  he  is  God  in  heaven  above, 

12  and  on  earth  beneath.  Now  therefore,  I  pray  you, 
swear  unto  me  by  the  Lord,  since  I  have  dealt 
kindly  with  you,  that  ye  also  will  deal  kindly  with 

13 my  father's  house,  and  give  me  a  true  token:  and 
that  ye  will  save  alive  my  father,  and  my  mother, 
and  my  brethren,  and  my  sisters,  and  all  that  they 

14  have,  and  will  deliver  our  lives  from  death.  And 
the  men  said  unto  her,  Our  life 'for  yours,  if  ye  utter 
not  this  our  bu.siness;  and  it  shall  be,  when  the 
Lord  giveth  us  the  land,  that  we  will  deal  kindly 

15  and  truly  with  thee.  Then  she  let  them  down  by  a 
cord  through   the  window:  for  her  house  was  upon 

16  the  town  wall,  and  she  dwelt  upon  the  wall.  And 
she  said  unto  them.  Get  you  to  the  mountain,  lest 
the  pursuers  light  upon  you;  and  hide  yourselves 
there  three  days,  until  the  pursuers  be  returned :  and 

17  afterward  may  ye  go  your  way.  And  the  men  said 
unto  her.  We  will  be  guiltless  of  this  thine   oath 

18  which  thou  hast  made  us  to  swear.  Behold,  when 
we  come  into  the  land,  thou  shalt  bind  this  line  of 
scarlet  thread  in  the  window  which  thou  didst  let  us 
down  by:  and  thou  shalt  gather  unto  thee  into  the 
house,  thy  father,  and  thy  mother,  and  thy  brethren, 

19  and  all  thy  father's  household.  And  it  shall  be, 
that  whosoever  shall  go  out  of  the  doors  of  thy 
house  into  the  street,  his  blood  shall  be  upon  his 
head,  and  we  will  be  guiltless :  and  whosoever  shall 
be   with   thee  in  the  house,  his  blood  shall   be    on 

20  our  head,  if  any  hand  be  upon  him.  But  if  thou 
utter  this  our  business,  then  we  will  be  guiltless 
of  thine  oath  which  thou   hast  made  us  to  swear. 

21  And  she  said,  according  unto  your  words,  so  be  it.

And  she  sent  them  away,  and  they  departed :  and  she  bound 
the  scarlet  line  in  the  window. 

22  And  they  went,  and  came  unto  the  mountain,  and 
abode  there  three  days,  until  the  pursuers  were  returned: 
and  the  pursuers  sought  them  throughout  all  the  way,  but 
found  them  not. 

23  ^So  the  two  men  returned,  and  descended  from  the 
mountain,  and  passed  over,  and  came  to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun,  and  told  him  all  things  that  befell  them : 

24  And  they  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Truly  "the  Lord  hath  de- 
livered into  our  hands  all  the  laud ;  for  even  all  the  inhab- 
itants of  the  country  do  ffaint  because  of  us.

children  of  Is'ra-el,and  lodged  there  before  they  passed  over. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  "after  three  days,  that  the  officers 
went  through  the  host ; 

3  And  they  commanded  the  people,  saying,  ''When  ye 
see  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lohd  your  God,  ''and  the 
priests  the  Le'vites  bearing  it,  then  ye  shall  remove  from 
your  place,  and  go  after  it. 

4  'Yet  there  shall  be  a  space  between  you  and  it,  about 
two  thousand  cubits  by  measure:  come  not  near  unto  it, 
that  ye  may  know  the  way  by  which  ye  must  go :  for  ye 
have  not  passed  this  way  fheretofore. 

5  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  people,  -^Sanctify  yourselves : 
for  to-morrow  the  Lord  will  do  wonders  among  you. 

6  And  Josh'u-a  spake  unto  the  priests,  saying,  "Take  up 
the  ark  of  the  covenant,  and  pass  over  before  the  people. 
And  they  took  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant,  and  went  before 
the  people. 

7  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  This  day  will  I 
begin  to  ''magnify  thee  in  the  sight  of  all  Is'ra-el,  that  they 
may  know  that,  'as  I  was  with  Mo'ses,  »o  I  will  be  with  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  command  *the  priests  that  bear  the  ark 
of  the  covenant,  saying,  When  ye  are  come  to  the  brink  of 
the  water  of  Jor'dan,  'ye  shall  stand  still  in  Jor'dan. 

9  ^And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Come 
hither,  and  hear  the  words  of  the  Lord  your  God. 

10  And  Josh'u-a  said.  Hereby  ye  shall  know  that  .""the 
living  God  is  among  you,  and  that  he  will  without  fail  "drive 
out  from  before  you  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Hit'tites,  and 
the  Hi'vites,  and  the  Per'iz-zites,  and  the  Gir'ga-shites,  and 
the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites. 

11  Behold,  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  "the  Lord  of  all  the 
earth  passeth  over  before  you  into  Jor'dan. 

12  Now  therefore  "take  you  twelve  men  out  of  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el,  out  of  every  tribe  a  man. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  'as  soon  as  the  soles  of  the 
feet  of  the  priests  that  bear  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  'the  Lord 
of  all  the  earth,  shall  rest  in  the  waters  of  Jor'dan,  that  the 
waters  of  Jor'dan  shall  be  cut  off  from  the  waters  that 
come  down  from  above ;  and  they  'shall  stand  upon  a 
heap. 

14  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  people  removed  from 
their  tents  to  pass  over  Jor'dan,  and  the  priests  bearing  the 
'ark  of  the  covenant  before  the  people ; 

15  And  as  they  that  bare  the  ark  were  come  unto  Jor'dan, 
and  "the  feet  of  the  priests  that  bare  the  ark  were  dipped  in 
the  brim  of  the  water,  (for  ^Jor'dan  overfloweth  all  his  banks 
"all  the  time  of  harvest,) 

16  That  the  waters  which  came  down  from  above  stood 
and  rose  up  upon  a  heap  very  far  from  the  city  Ad'am, 
that  is  beside  ^Zar'e-tan ;  and  those  that  came  down  "toward 
the  sea  of  the  plain,  even  ''the  salt  sea,  failed,  and  were  cut 
off:  and  the  people  pa.ssed  over  right  agaiyst  Jer'i-cho. 

17  And  the  priests  that  bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 


And  she  sent  them  away,  and  they  departed :  and 

22  she  bound  the  scarlet  line  in  the  window.  And  they 
went,  and  came  unto  the  mountain,  and  abode  there 
three  days,  until  the  pursuers  were  returned:  and 
the  pursuers  sought  them  throughout  all  the  way, 

23  but  found  them  not.  Then  the  two  men  returned, 
and  descended  from  the  mountain,  and  passed  over, 
and  came  to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun ;  and  they  told 

24  him  all  that  had  befallen  them.  And  they  said  unto 
Josh'u-a,  Truly  the  Lord  hath  delivered  into  our 
hands  all  the  land ;  and  moreover  all  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land  do  melt  away  before  us. 

O  And  Josh'u-a  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and 
they  removed  from  Shit'tim,  and  came  to  Jor'dan,  he 
and  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  they  lodged  there 

2  before  they  passed  over.  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
three  days,  that  the  officers  went  through  the  midst 

3  of  the  camp ;  and  they  commanded  the  people,  say- 
ing, When  ye  see  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  the  priests  the  Le'vites  bearing 
it,  then  ye   shall  remove    from  your  place,  and  go 

4  after  it.  Yet  there  shall  be  a  space  between  you 
and  it,  about  two  thousand  cubits  by  measure: 
come  not  near  unto  it,  that  ye  may  know  the  way 
by  which  ye  must  go ;   for  ye  have  not  passed  this 

5  way  heretofore.  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  people. 
Sanctify  yourselves:  for  to-morrow  the  Lord  will 

6  do  wonders  among  you.  And  Josh'u-a  sjjake  unto 
the  priests,  saying,  Take  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant, 
and  pass  over  before  the  people.  And  they  took  up 
the  ark  of  the  covenant,  and  went  before  the  people 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  This  day  will  I 
begin  to  magnify  thee  in  the  sight  of  all  Is'ra-el,  that 
they  may  know  that,  as  I  was  with  Mo'ses,  so  I  will 

8  be  with  thee.  And  thou  shalt  command  the  priests 
that  bear  the  ark  of  the  covenant,  saying,  When  ye 
are  come  to  the  brink  of  the  waters  of  Jor'dan,  ye 
shall  stand  still  in  Jor'dan. 

9  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
Come  hither,  and  hear  the  words  of  the  Lord  your 

10  God.     And  Josh'u-a  said.  Hereby  ye  shall  know  that 
the  living  God  is  among  you,  and  that  he  will  with 
out  fail  drive  out  from  before  you  the   Ca'naan-ite, 
and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite, 
and  the  Gir'ga-shite,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Jeb'u- 

1 1  site.  Behold,  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
of  all  the  earth  passeth  over  before  you  into  Jor'dan. 

12  Now  therefore  take  you  twelve  men  out  of  the  tribes 

13  of  Is'ra-el,  for  every  tribe  a  man.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  when  the  soles  of  the  feet  of  the  priests  that 
bear  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  all  the  earth, 
shall  rest  in  the  waters  of  Jor'dan,  that  the  waters  of 
Jor'dan  shall  be  cut  off,  even  the  waters  that  come 
down  from  above ;  and  they  shall  stand  in  one  heap. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  people  removed  from 
their  tents,  to  pass  over  Jor'dan,  the  priests  that  bare 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  being  before  the   people ; 

15  and  when  they  that  bare  the  ark  were  come  unto 
Jor'dan,  and  the  feet  of  the  priests  that  bare  the  ark 
were  dipped  in  the  brink  of  the  water,  (for  Joi-'dan 
overfloweth  all  its  banks  all  the   time  of  harvest,) 

16  that  the  waters  which  came  down  from  above 
stood,  and  rose  up  in  one  heap,  a  great  way  'off, 
at  Ad'am,  the  city  that  is  beside  Zar'e-than :  and 
those  that  went  down  toward  the  sea  of  the  ^Ar'a-

the  LoBD  8too<i  ferm  on  dry  ground  in  the  midst  of  Jordan, 
"and  all  the  Is'ra-ei-ites  passed  over  on  dry  ground,  until 
all  the  people  were  passed  clean  over  Jor'dan. 
CHAF"rER  IV. 

Twelve  men  appointed  to  take  twelve  stones  for  a  memorial. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  people  were  clean  passed 
"over  Jor'dan,  that  the  Lord  spake  unto  Josh'u-a,  saying, 

2  'Take  you  twelve  men  out  of  the  people,  out  of  every 
tribe  a  man, 

3  And  command  ye  them,  saying,  Take  you  hence  out  of 
the  midst  of  Jor'dan,  out  of  the  place  where  ''the  priests' 
feet  stood  firm,  twelve  stones,  and  ye  shall  carry  them  over 
with  you,  and  leave  them  in  ''the  lodging  place  where  ye 
shall  lodge  this  night. 

4  Then  Josh'u-a  called  the  twelve  men,  whom  he  had  pre- 
pared of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  out  of  every  tribe  a  man  : 

5  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  them,  Pass  over  before  the  ark  of 
the  Lord  your  God  into  the  midst  of  Jor'dan,  and  take  you 
up  every  man  of  you  a  stone  upon  his  shoulder,  according 
unto  the  number  of  the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 

6  That  this  may  be  a  sign  among  you,  thai  'when  your 
children  ask  their  fathers  fin  time  to  come,  saying.  What 
mean  ye  by  these  stones  ? 

7  Then  ye  shall  answer  them.  That  ■'^the  waters  of  Jor'dan 
were  cut  off  before  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  ; 
when  it  passed  over  Jor'dan,  the  waters  of  Jor'dan  were  cut 
off:  and  these  stones  shall  be  for  'a  memorial  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  for  ever. 

8  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  so  as  Josh'u-a  commanded, 
and  took  up  twelve  stones  out  of  the  midst  of  Jor'dan,  as  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Josh'u-a,  according  to  the  number  of  the 
tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  carried  them  over 
with  them  unto  the  place  where  they  lodged,  and  laid 
them  down  there. 

9  51  And  Josh'u-a  set  up  twelve  stones  in  the  midst  of  Jor'dan, 
in  the  place  where  the  teet  of  the  priests  which  bare  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  stood :  and  they  are  there  unto  this  day. 

10  ^For  the  priests  which  bare  the  ark  stood  in  the  midst 
of  Jor'dan,  until  every  thing  was  finished  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Josh'u-a  to  speak  unto  the  people,  according  to 
all  that  Mo'ses  commanded  Josh'u-a :  and  the  people  hasted 
and  passed  over. 

1 1  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  people  were  clean 
passed  over,  that  the  ark  of  the  Lord  passed  over,  and  the 
priests,  in  the  presence  of  the  people. 

12  And  *the  children  of  Reu'ben,and  the  children  of  Gad, 
and  half  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  passed  over  armed  before 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  as  Mo'ses  spake  unto  them : 

13  About  forty  thousand  ||  prepared  for  war  passed  over 
before  the  Lord  unto  battle,  to  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho. 

14  ^On  that  day  the  Lord  'magnified  Josh'u-a  in  the  sight 
of  all  Is'ra-el ;  and  they  feared  him,  as  they  feared  Mo'ses, 
all  the  days  of  his  life. 

15  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Josh'u-a,  saying, 

16  Command  the  priests  that  bear  *the  ark  of  the  testi- 
mony, that  they  come  up  out  of  Jor'dan. 

17  Josh'u-a  therefore  commanded  the  priests,  saying.  Come 
ye  up  out  of  Jor'dan. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  priests  that  bare  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  were  come  up  out  of  the  midst  of 
Jor'dan,  and  the  soles  of  the  priests'  feet  were  flifted  up  unto 
the  dry  land,  that  the  waters  of  Jor'dan  returned  unto  their 
place,  'and  fflowed  over  all  his  banks,  as  they  did  before. 

19  5[And  the  people  came  up  out  of  Jor'dan  on  the  tenth 
day  of  the  first  month,  and  encamped  "in  Gil'gal,  in  the  east 
border  of  Jer'i-cho. 

20  And  "those  twelve  stones,  which  they  took  out  of  Jor'- 
dan, did  Josh'u-a  pitch  in  Gil'gal. 

21  And  he  spake  unto   the   children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying, 


the  Lord  stood  firm  on  dry  ground  in  the  midst  of 
Jor'dan,  and  ail  Is'ra-el  passed  over  on  dry  ground, 
until  all  the  nation  were  passed  clean  over  Jor'dan. 

^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  nation  were 
clean  passed  over  Jor'dan,  that  the  Lord  spake  unto 

2  Josh'u-a,  saying.  Take  you  twelve  men  out  of  the 

3  people,  out  of  every  tribe  a  man,  and  command  ye 
them,  saying.  Take  you  hence  out  of  the  midst  of 
Jor'dan,  out  of  the  place  where  the  priests'  feet  stood 
firm,  twelve  stones,  and  carry  them  over  with  you, 
and  lay  them  down  in  the  lodging  place,  where  ye 

4  shall  lodge  this  night.  Then  Josh'u-a  called  the 
twelve  men,  whom  he  had  prepared  of  the  children 

5  of  Is'ra-el,  out  of  every  tribe  a  man :  and  Josh'u-a  said 
unto  them.  Pass  over  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
your  God  into  the  midst  of  Jor'dan,  and  take  you  up 
every  man  of  you  a  stone  upon  his  shoulder,  accord- 
ing unto  the  number  of  the  tribes  of  the  children  of 

6  Is'ra-el :  that  this  may  be  a  sign  among  you,  that 
when  your  children  ask  in  time  to  come,   saying, 

7  W  hat  mean  ye  by  these  stones  ?  then  ye  shall  say 
unto  them.  Because  the  waters  of  Jor'dan  were  cut 
off  before  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  ; 
when  it  passed  over  Jor'dan,  the  waters  of  Jor'dan 
were  cut  off:  and  these  stones  shall  be  for  a  memo- 

8  rial  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  for  ever.  And  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  did  so  as  Josh'u-a  commanded,  and 
took  up  twelve  stones  out  of  the  midst  of  Jor'dan, 
as  the  Lord  spake  unto  Josh'u-a,  according  to  the 
number  of  the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and 
they  carried  them  over  with  them  unto  the  place 

9  where  they  lodged,  and  laid  them  down  there.  And 
Josh'u-a  set  up  twelve  stones  in  the  midst  of  Jor'dan, 
in  the  place  where  the  feet  of  the  priests  which  bare 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  stood :  and  they  are  there, 

10  unto  this  day.  For  the  priests  which  bare  the  ark 
stood  in  the  midst  of  Jor'dan,  until  every  thing  was 
finished  that  the  Lord  commanded  Josh'u-a  to  speak 
unto  the  people,  according  to  all  that  Mo'ses  com- 
manded Josh'u-a :  and  the  people  hasted  and  passed 

11  over.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  people 
were  clean  passed  over,  that  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
passed  over,  and  the  priests,  in  the  presence  of  the 

12  people.  And  the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Gad,  and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  passed 
over  armed  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  as  Mo'ses 

13  spake  unto  them :  about  forty  thousand  ready  armed 
for  war  passed  over  before  the  Lord  unto  battle,  to 

14  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho.  On  that  day  the  Lord  mag- 
nified Josh'u-a  in  the  sight  of  all  Is'ra-el ;  and  they 
feared  him,  as  they  feared  Mo'ses,  all  the  days  of 
his  life. 

15  And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Josh'u-a,  saying, 

16  Command  the  priests  that  bear  the  ark  of  the 
testimony,   that  they    come    up    out    of   Jor'dan. 

17  Josh'u-a  therefore  commanded  the  priests,  saying, 

18  Come  ye  up  out  of  Jor'dan.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  priests  that  bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  were  come  up  out  of  the  midst  of  Jor'- 
dan, and  the  soles  of  the  priests'  feet  were  lifted  up 
unto  the  dry  ground,  that  the  waters  of  Jor'dan 
returned  unto   their  place,  and  went  over  all   its 

19  banks,  as  aforetime.  And  the  people  came  up  out 
of  Jor'dan  on  the  tenth  day  of  the  first  month, 
and    encamped  in  Gil'gal,  on  the  east  border  of 

20  Jer'i-cho.  And  those  twelve  stones,  which  they 
took  ou^of  Jor'dan,  did  Josh'u-a  set  up  in  Gil'gal. 

21  And  he  spake  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.

"When  your  children  shall  ask  their  fiithers  tin  time   to 
come,  saying,  What  mean  these  stones  ? 

22  Then  ye  shall  let  your  children  know,  saying,  "Is'ra-el 
came  over  this  Jor'dan  on  dry  land. 

23  For  the  Loed  your  God  dried  up  the  waters  of  Jor'dan 
from  before  you,  until  ye  were  passed  over,  as  the  Lord 
your  God  did  to  the  Red  sea,  'which  he  dried  up  from  be-

24  'That  all  the  people  of  the  earth  might  know  the  hand 
of  the  Lord,  that  it  is  'mighty  :  that  ye  might  'fear  the  Lord 
your  God  ffor  ever. 

CHAPTER    V. 

The  Passover  is  kept  at  Gitgai— Manna  ceaseth. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites 
which  were  on  the  side  of  Jor'dan  westward,  and  all  the 
kings  of  the  Ca'naan-ites  "which  were  by  the  sea,  ''heard  that 
the  Lord  had  dried  up  the  waters  of  Jor'dan  from  before  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  until  we  were  passed  over,  that  their 
heart  melted,  ""neither  was  there  spirit  in  them  any  more, 
because  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  ^At  that  time  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Make  thee 
||'*sharp  knives,  and  circumcise  again  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
the  second  time. 

3  And  Josh'u-a  made  him  sharp  knives,  and  circumcised 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  at  ||the  hill  of  the  foreskins. 

4  And  this  is  the  cause  why  Josh'u-a  did  circumcise :  'All 
the  people  that  came  out  of  E'gypt,  that  were  males,  even  all 
the  men  of  war,  died  in  the  wilderness  by  the  way,  after  they 
came  out  of  E'gypt. 

5  Now  all  the  people  that  came  out  were  circumcised ;  but 
all  the  people  ihat  were  born  in  the  wilderness  by  the  way  as 
they  came  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  them  they  had  not  circumcised'. 

6  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  walked-'^forty  years  in  the  wilder- 
ness, till  all  the  people  that  were  men  of  war  which  came  out 
of  E'gypt  were  consumed,  because  they  obeyed  not  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  :  unto  whom  the  Lord  sware  that  "he  would  not 
shew  them  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware  unto  their  fathers 
thathe  would  give  us,''a  land  that  floweth  with  milk  and  honey. 

7  And  'their  children,  whom  he  raised  up  in  their  stead, 
them  Josh'u-a  circumcised:  for  they  were  uncircumci.sed, 
because  they  had  not  circumcised  them  by  the  way. 

8  And  it  came  to  pas.s,  fwhen  they  had  done  circumcising 
all  the  people,  that  they  abode  in  their  places  in  the  camp, 
*till  they  were  whole. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  nnto  Josh'u-a,  This  day  have  I  rolled 
away  'the  reproach  of  E'gypt  from  off  you :  Wherefore  the 
name  of  the  place  is  called  H^Gil'gal  unto  this  day. 

10  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  encamped  in  Gil'gal,  and 
kept  the  passover  "on  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  month  at 
even  in  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho. 

11  And  they  did  eat  of  the  old  corn  of  the  land  on  the 
morrow  after  the  passover,  unleavened  cakes,  and  parched 
corn  in  the  selfsame  day. 

12  ^And  "the  manna  ceased  on  the  morrow  after  they  had 
eaten  of  the  old  corn  of  the  land ;  neither  had  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  manna  any  more ;  but  they  did  eat  of  the  fruit 
of  the  land  of  Ca'naan  that  year. 

13  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Josh'u-a  was  by  Jer'i-cho, 
that  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked,  and,  behold,  there 
stood  ''a  man  over  against  him  'with  his  sword  drawn  in  his 
hand :  and  Josh'u-a  went  unto  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Art 
thou  for  U.S,  or  for  our  adversaries? 

14  And  he  said.  Nay;  but  as  ||  captain  of  the  host  of  the 
Lord  am  I  now  come.  And  Josh'u-a  "^fell  on  his  face  to  the 
earth,"  and  did  worship,  and  said  unto  him.  What  saith  my 
lord  unto  his  servant  ? 

15  And  the  captain  of  the  Lord's  host  .said  unto  Josh'u-a, 
'Loose  thy  shoe  from  off  thy  foot,  for  the  place  whereon 
thou  standest  is  holy :  and  Josh'u-a  did  so. 


When  your  children  shall  ask  their  fathers  in  time 

22 to   come,  saying.  What  mean  these  stones?  then  ye 

shall  let  your  children  know,  saying,  Is'ra-el   came 

23  over  this  Jor'dan  on  dry  land.  For  the  Lord  your 
God  dried  up  the  waters  of  Jor'dan  from  before  you, 

.until  ye  were  passed  over,  as  the  Lord  your  God  did 
to  the  Red  Sea,  which  he  dried  up  from  before  us,  until 

24  we  were  passed  over :  that  all  the  peoples  of  the  earth 
may  know  the  hand  of  the  Lord,  that  it  is  mighty ; 
that  'they  may  fear  the  Lord  your  God  for  ever. 

0  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  kings  of  the  Am'o- 
rites,  which  were  beyond  Jor'dan  westward,  and  all  the 
kings  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  which  were  by  the  sea,  heard 
how  that  the  Lord  had  dried  up  the  waters  of  Jor'dan 
from  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  untiPwewere  passed 
over,  that  their  heart  melted,  neither  was  there  spirit 
in  them  any  more,  because  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  At  that  time  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Make 
thee  knives  of  flint,  and  circumcise  again  the  children 

3  of  Is'ra-el  the  second  time.  And  Josh'u-a  made  him 
knives  of  flint,  and  circumcised  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 

4  at  hhe  hill  of  the  foreskins.  And  this  is  the  cau.se 
why  Josh'u-a  did  circumcise  :  all  the  people  that  came 
forth  out  of  E'gypt,  that  were  males,  even  all  the 
men  of  war,  died  in  the  wilderness  by  the  way,  after 

5  they  came  forth  out  of  E'gypt.  For  all  the  people 
that  came  out  were  circumcisec^ :  but  all  the  people 
that  were  born  in  the  wilderness  by  the  way  as  they 
came  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  they  had  not  circumcised. 

6  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  walked  forty  years  in  the 
wilderness,  till  all  the  nation,  even  the  men  of  war 
which  came  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  were  consumed, 
because  they  hearkened  not  uuto  the  voice  of  the 
Lord:  unto  whom  the  Lord  sware  that  he  would 
not  let  them  see  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  their  fathers  that  he  would  give  us,  a  land  flow- 

7  ing  with  milk  and  honey.  And  their  children,  whom 
he  raised  up  in  their  stead,  them  did  Josh'u-a  circum- 
ci.se  :  for  they  were  uncircumcised,  because  they  had 

Snot  circumcised  them  by  the  way.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  they  had  done  circumcising  all  the 
nation,  that  they  abode  in  their  places  in  the  camp, 

9  till  they  were  whole.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Josh'u-a,  This  day  have  I  rolled  away  the  reproach 
of  E'gypt  from  off  you.  Wherefore  the  name  of 
that  place  was  called  ^Gil'gal,  unto  this  day. 

10  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  encamped  in  Gil'gal; 
and  they  kept  the  passover  on  the  fourteenth  day 

11  of  the  month  at  even  in  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho.  And 
they  did  eat  of  the  'old  corn  of  the  land  on  the 
morrow  after  the  passover,    unleavened  cakes    and 

12  parched  corn,  in  the  selfsame  day.  And  the  manna 
ceased  on  the  morrow,  after  they  had  eaten  of  the 
'old  corn  of  the  land  ;  neither  had  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  manna  any  more ;  but  they  did  eat  of  the  fruit 
of  the  land  of  Ca'naan  that  year. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Josh'u-a  was  by  Jer'i- 
cho,  that  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked,  and,  be- 
hold, there  stood  a  man  over  against  him  with  his 
sword  drawn  in  his  hand  :  and  Josh'u-a  went  unto 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  for  us,  or  for  our 

14  adversaries  ?  And  he  said.  Nay  ;  but  as 'captain  of  the 
host  of  the  Lord  ami  now  come.  And  Josh'u-a  fell  on 
his  face  to  the  earth,  and  did  worship,  and  said  unto 

15 him.  What  saith  my  lord  unto  his  servant?  And 
the  captain  of  the  Lord's  host  said  unto  Josh'u-a, 
Put  off  thy  shoe  from  off  thy  foot ;  for  the  place 
whereon  thou  standest  is  holy.     And  Josh'u-a  did  so.

God  insiructeth  Joshua  how  to  besiege  Jericho — Rahab  is  saved. 

"VrOW  Jer'i-cho  fwas  straitly  shut  up  because  of  the  chil- 
-Li    dren  of  Is'ra-el :  none  went  out,  and  none  came  in. 

2  Arid  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  See,  "I  have  given  into 
thine  hand  Jer'i-cho,  and  the  ''king  thereof,  and  the  mighty 
men  of  valour. 

3  And  ye  shall  compass  the  city,  all  ye  men  of  war,  and  go 
round  about  the  city  once.     Thus  shalt  thou  do  six  days. 

4  And  seven  priests  shall  bear  before  the  ark  seven  "trumpets 
of  rams'  horns :  and  the  seventh  day  ye  shall  compass  the  city 
seven  times,  and  ''the  priests  shall  blow  with  the  trumpets. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  when  they  make  a  long 
blast  with  the  ram's  horn,  and  when  ye  hear  the  sound  of 
the  trumpet,  all  the  people  shall  shout  with  a  great  shout; 
and  the  wall  of  the  city  shall  fall  down  fflat,  and  the  people 
shall  ascend  up  every  man  straight  before  him. 

6  ^And  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun  called  the  priests,  and  said 
unto  them.  Take  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant,  and  let  seven 
priests  bear  seven  trumpets  of  rams'  horns  before  the  ark  of 
the  Lord. 

7  And  he  said  unto  the  people.  Pass  on,  and  compass  the  city, 
and  let  him  that  is  armed  pass  on  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

8  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Josh'u-a  had  spoken  unto  the 
people,  that  the  seven  priests  bearing  the  seven  trumpets  of 
rams'  horns  passed  on  before  the  Lord,  and  blew  with  the  trum- 
pets :  and  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  followed  them. 

9  ^And  the  armed  men  went  before  the  priests  that  blew 
with  the  trumpets,  *and  the  frearward  came  after  the  ark, 
the  priests  going  on,  and  blowing  Avith  the  trumpets. 

10  And  Josh'u-a  had  commanded  the  people,  saying,  Ye 
shall  not  shout,  nor  fmake  any  noise  with  your  voice, 
neither  shall  any  word  proceed  out  of  your  mouth,  until  the 
day  I  bid  you  shout;  then  shall  ye  shout. 

11  So  the  ark  of  the  Lord  compassed  the  city,  going  about 
it  once :  and  they  came  into  the  camp,  and  lodged  in  the  camp. 

12  ^And  Josh'u-a  rose  early  in  the  morning,  -^and  the 
priests  took  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  seven  priests  bearing  seven  trumpets  of  rams' 
horns  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord  went  on  continually,  and 
blew  with  the  trumpets :  and  the  armed  men  went  before 
them;  but  the  rearward  came  after  the  ark  of  the  Lord, 
the  priests  going  on,  and  blowing  with  the  trumpets. 

14  And  the  second  day  they  compassed  the  city  once,  and 
returned  into  the  camp.     So  they  did  six  days. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day,  that  they  rose 
early  about  the  dawning  of  the  day,  and  compassed  the  city 
after  the  same  manner  seven  times:  only  on  that  day  they 
compassed  the  city  seven  times. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  seventh  time,  when  the 
priests  blew  with  the  trumpets,  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  people. 
Shout ;  for  the  Lord  hath  given  you  the  city. 

17  %And  the  city  shall  be  ||  accursed,  even  it,  and  all  that 
are  therein,  to  the  Lord  :  only  Ra'hab  the  harlot  shall  live, 
she  and  all  that  are  with  her  in  the  house,  because  "she  hid 
the  messengers  that  we  sent. 

18  And  ye, 'in  anywise  keep yoitrscfees  from  the  accursed 
thing,  lest  ye  make  yourselves  accursed,  when  ye  take  of  the 
accursed  thing,  and  make  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el  a  curse,  'and 
trouble  it. 

19  But  all  the  silver,  and  gold,  and  vessels  of  brass  and 
iron,  are  fconsecrated  unto  the  Lord  :  they  shall  come 
into  the  treasury  of  the  Lord. 

20  So  the  people  shouted  when  the  priests  blew  with  the 
trumpets :  and  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  people  heard  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  the  people  shouted  with  a  great 
shout,  that  *the  wall  fell  down  fflat,  so  that  the  people  went 
up  into  the  city,  every  man  straight  before  him,  and  they 
took  the  city. 


O  (Now  Jer'i-cho  %as  straitly  shut  up  because  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el :  none  went  out,  and  none  came  in.) 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  See,  I  have  given 
into  thine  hand  Jer'i-cho,  and  the  king  thereof,  and  the 

3  mighty  men  of  valour.  And  ye  shall  compass  the  city, 
all  the  men  of  war,  going  about  the  city  once.     Thus 

4  shalt  thou  do  six  days.  And  seven  priests  shall  bear 
seven  trumpets  of  rams'  horns  before  the  ark :  and 
the  seventh  day  ye  shall  compass  the  city  seven 
times,  and  the  priests  shall  blow  with  the  trumpets. 

5  And  it  shall  be,  that  when  they  make  a  long  blast 
with  the  ram's  horn,  and  when  ye  hear  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet,  all  the  people  shall  shout  with  a 
great  shout ;  and  the  wall  of  the  city  shall  fall  down 
*flat,  and  the  people  shall  go  up  every  man  straight 

6  before  him.  And  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun  called  the 
priests,  and  said  unto  them.  Take  up  the  ark  of  the 
covenant,  and  let  seven  priests  bear  seven  trumpets 

7  of  rams'  horns  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord.  And 
Hhey  said  unto  the  people.  Pass  on,  and  compass  the 
city,  and  let  the  armed  men  pass  on  before  the  ark 

8  of  the  Lord.  And  it  was  so,  that  when  Josh'u-a  had 
spoken  unto  the  people,  the  seven  priests  bearing  the 
seven  trumpets  of  rams'  horns  before  the  Lord  passed 
on,  and  blew  with  the  trumpets :    and  the  ark  of  the 

9  covenant  of  the  Lord  followed  them.  And  the  armed 
men  went  before  the  priests  that  blew  the  trumpets, 
and  the  rearward  went  after  the  ark,  the  priests  blow 

10  ing  with  the  trumpets  as  they  went.  And  Josh'u-a  com 
manded  the  people,  saying.  Ye  shall  not  shout,  nor  let 
your  voice  be  heard,  neither  shall  any  word  proceed 
out  of  your  mouth,  until  the  day  I  bid  you  shout; 

11  then  shall  ye  shout.  So  he  caused  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
to  compass  the  city,  going  about  it  once :  and  they 
came  into  the  camp,  and  lodged  in  the  camp. 

12  And  Josh'u-a  rose  early  in  the  morning,  and  the 

13  priests  took  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord.  And  the  seven 
priests  bearing  the  seven  trumpets  of  rams'  horns 
before  the  ark  of  the  Lord  went  on  continually,  and 
blew  with  the  trumpets :  and  the  armed  men  went 
before  them;  and  the  rearward  came  after  the  ark 
of  the  Lord,  the  priests  blowing  with  the  trumpets 

14as  they  went.  And  the  second  day  they  compassed 
the  city  once,  and  returned  into  the  camp:   so  they 

15  did  six  days.  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh 
day,  that  they  rose  early  at  the  dawning  of  the  day, 
and  compassed  the  city  after  the  same  manner  seven 
times :    only  on   that  day  they  compassed   the  city 

16  seven  times.  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  seventh 
time,  when  the  priests  blew  with  the  trumpets, 
Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  people.  Shout;  for  the  Lord 

17  hath  given  you  the  city.  And  the  city  shall  be 
'devoted,  even  it  and  all  that  is  therein,  to  the  Lord  : 
only  Ra'hab  the  harlot  shall  live,  she  and  all  that 
are  with  her  in  the  house,  because  she  hid  the  mes- 

18sengers  that  we  sent.  And  ye,  in  any  wise  keep 
yourselves  from  the  devoted  thing,  lest  when  ye 
have  devoted  it,  ye  take  of  the  devoted  thing;  sc 
should  ye  make  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el  ^accursed,  and 

19  trouble  it.  But  all  the  silver,  and  gold,  and  vessels 
of  brass  and  iron,  are  holy  unto  the  Lord  :    they 

20  shall  come  into  the  treasury  of  the  Lord.  So  the 
people  shouted,  and  the  priests  blew  with  the  trum- 
pets: and  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  people  heard 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  that  the  people  shouted 
with  a  great  shout,  and  the  wall  fell  down  'flat, 
so  that  the  people  went  up  into  the  city,  every 
man   straight   before   him,  and  they  took  the  city.

21  And  they  'utterly  destroyed  ail  that  was  in  the  city, 
both  man  and  woman,  young  and  old,  and  ox,  and  sheep, 
and  ass,  with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

22  But  Josh'u-a  had  said  unto  the  two  men  that  had  spied  out 
the  country,  Go  into  the  harlot's  house,  and  bring  out  thence 
the  woman,  and  all  that  she  hath,  "as  ye  sware  unto  her. 

23  And  the  young  men  that  were  spies  went  in,  and  brought 
out  Ra'hab,  "and  her  father,  and  her  mother,  and  her  breth- 
ren, and  all  that  she  had;  and  they  brought  out  all  her 
fkindred,  and  left  them  without  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  they  burnt  the  city,  with  fire,  and  all  that  was 
therein :  "only  the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the  vessels  of 
brass  and  of  iron,  they  put  into  the  treasury  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

25  And  Josh'u-a  saved  Ra'hab  the  harlot  alive,  and  her 
father's  household,  and  all  that  she  had ;  and  "she  dwelleth 
in  Is'ra-el  even  unto  this  day ;  because  she  hid  the  messen- 
gers, which  Josh'u-a  sent  to  spy  out  Jer'i-cho. 

26  "UAnd  Josh'u-a  adjured  them  at  that  time,  saying, 
«Cursed  be  the  man  before  the  Lord,  that  riseth  up  and 
buildeth  this  city  Jer'i-cho:  he  shall  lay  the  foundation 
thereof  in  his  firstborn,  and  in  his  youngest  sow  shall  he  set 
up  the  gates  of  it. 

27  'So  the  Lord  was  with  Josh'ua;  and  'his  fame  was 
noised  throughout  all  the  country. 

CHAPTER   VII. 

Tka  Israelites  are  smitten  at  Ai— Joshua's  complaint. 

BUT  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  committed  a  trespass  in  the 
accursed  thing :  for  "||  A'chan,  the  son  of  Car'mi,  the  son 
of  II  Zab'di,  the  son  of  Ze'rah,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah,  took  of 
the  accursed  thing :  and  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kin- 
dled against  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  Josh'u-a  sent  men  from  Jer'i-cho  to  A'i,which  is  beside 
Beth-a'ven,  on  the  east  side  of  Beth'-el,  and  spake  unto  them, 
saying,  Go  up  and  view  the  country.  And  the  men  went 
up  and  viewed  A'i. 

3  And  they  returned  to  Josh'u-a,  and  said  unto  him.  Let 
not  all  the  people  go  up;  but  let  fabout  two  or  three 
thousand  men  go  up  and  smite  A'i ;  and  make  not  all  the 
people  to  labour  thither ;  for  they  are  but  few. 

4  So  there  went  up  thither  of  the  people  about  three  thou- 
sand men ;  ''and  they  fled  before  the  men  of  A'i. 

5  And  the  men  of  A'i  smote  of  them  about  thirty  and  six 
men  :  for  they  chased  them /rom  before  the  gate  even  unto 
Sheb'a-rim,  and  smote  them  ||  in  the  going  down  :  wherefore 
'the  hearts  of  the  people  melted,  and  became  as  water. 

6  ^  And  Josh'u-a  ''rent  his  clothes,  and  fell  to  the  earth  upon 
his  face  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord  until  the  eventide,  he 
and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  'put  dust  upon  their  heads. 

7  And  Josh'u-a  said,  Alas,  O  Lord  God,  Avherefore  hast 
thou  at  all  brought  this  people  over  Jor'dan,  to  deliver  us  into 
the  hand  of  the  Am'o-rites,  to  destroy  us  ?  would  to  God  we 
had  been  content,  and  dwelt  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan ! 

8  O  Lord,  what  shall  I  say,  when  Is'ra-el  turneth  their 
fbacks  before  their  enemies  ! 

9  For  the  Ca'naa*i-ites  and  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
shall  hear  of  it,  and  shall  environ  us  round,  and  "cut  off  our 
name  from  the  earth  :  and  *what  wilt  thou  do  unto  thy 
great  name? 

10  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Get  thee  up ;  where- 
fore fliest  thou  thus  upon  thy  face  ? 

11  'Is'ra-el  hath  sinned,  and  they  have  also  transgressed  my 
covenant  which  I  commanded  them  :  *for  they  have  even  taken 
of  the  accursed  thing,  and  have  also  stolen,  and  'dissembled 
also,  and  they  have  put  it  even  among  their  own  stuff". 

12  "Therefore  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  could  not  stand 
before  their  enemies,  but  turned  their  backs  before  their 
enemies,  because  "they  were  accursed:    neither  will  I  be 


21  And  they  'utterly  destroyed  all  that  was  in  the  city, 
both  man  and  woman,  both  young  and  old,  and  ox, 

22  and  sheep,  and  ass,  with  the  edge  of  the  sword.  And 
Josh'ua  said  unto  the  two  men  that  had  spied  out 
the  land.  Go  into  the  harlot's  house,  and  bring  out 
thence  the  woman,  and  all  that  she  hath,  as  ye  sware 

23  unto  her.  And  the  young  men  the  spies  went  in, 
and  brought  out  Ra'hab,  and  her  father,  and  her 
mother,  and  her  brethren,  and  all  that  she  had,  all 
her  ^kindred  also  they  brought  out;   and  they  set 

24  them  without  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el.  And  they  burnt 
the  city  with  fire,  and  all  that  was  therein :  only  the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the  vessels  of  brass  and 
of  iron,  they  put  into  the  treasury  of  the  house  of 

25  the  Lord.  But  Ra'hab  the  harlot,  and  her  father's 
hou-sehold,  and  all  that  she  had,  did  Josh'u-a  save 
alive  ;  and  she  dwelt  in  the  midst  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  this 
day ;  because  she  hid  the  messengers,  which  Josh'u-a 

26  sent  to  spy  out  Jer'i-cho.  A  nd  Josh'u-a  charged  them 
with  an  oath  at  that  time,  saying.  Cursed  be  the  man 
before  the  Lord,  that  riseth  up  and  buildeth  this 
city  Jer'icho :  with  the  loss  of  his  firstborn  shall 
he  lay  the  foundation  thereof,  and  with  the  loss  of 

27  his  youngest  son  shall  he  set  up  the  gates  of  it.  So 
the  Lord  was  with  Josh'u-a ;  and  his  fame  was  in  all 
the  land. 

♦  But  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  committed  a  trespass  in 
the  devoted  thing':  for  A'chan,  the  son  of  Car'mi,  the 
son  of  Zab'di,  the  son  of  Ze'rah,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah, 
took  of  the  devoted  thing :  and  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  Josh'u-a  sent  men  from  Jer'i-cho  to  A'i,  which 
is  beside  Beth-a'ven,  on  the  east  side  of  Beth'-el, 
and  spake  unto  them,  saying.  Go  up  and  spy  out 
the  land.     And  the  men  went  up  and  spied  out  A'i. 

3  And  they  returned  to  Josh'u-a,  and  said  unto  him, 
Let  not  all  the  people  go  up ;  but  let  about  two  or 
three  thousand  men  go  up  and  smite  A'i ;  make  not 
all  the  people  to  toil  thither ;  for  they  are  but  few 

4  So  there  went  up  thither  of  the  people  about  three 
thousand  men :  and  they  fled  before  the  men  of  A'i 

5  And  the  men  of  A'i  smote  of  them  about  thirty  and 
six  men:  and  they  chased  them  from  before  the 
gate  even  unto  ^Sheb'a-rim,  and  smote  them  at  the 
going  down :  and  the  hearts  of  the  people  melted, 

6  and  became  as  water.  And  Josh'u-a  rent  his  clothes, 
and  fell  to  the  earth  upon  his  face  before  the  ark  of 
the  Lord  until  the  evening,  he  and  the  elders  of  Is' 

7ra-el;  and  they  put  dust  upon  their  heads.  And 
Josh'u-a  said,  Alas,  O  Lord  God,  wherefore  hast 
thou  at  all  brought  this  people  over  Jor'dan,  to  de- 
liver us  into  the  hand  of  the  Am'o-rites,  to  cause  us 
to  perish  ?  would  that  we  had  been  content  and  dwelt 

8  beyond  Jor'dan !  Oh  Lord,  what  shall  I  say,  after  that 
Is'ra-el  hath  turned  their  backs  before  their  enemies ! 

9  For  the  Ca'naan'ites  and  all  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land  shall  hear  of  it,  and  shall  compass  us  round,  and 
cut  off"  our  name  from  the  earth  :  and  what  wilt  thou 

10 do  for  thy  great  name?  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Josh'u-a,  Get  thee  up;  wherefore  art  thou  thus  fallen 

1 1  upon  thy  face  ?  Is'ra-el  hath  sinned  ;  yea,  they  have 
even  transgressed  my  covenant  which  I  commanded 
them :  yea,  they  have  even  taken  of  the  devoted  thing ; 
and  have  also  stolen,  and  dissembled  also,  and  they 

12  have  even  put  it  among  their  own  stuff.  There- 
fore the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cannot  stand  before  their 
enemies,  they  turn  their  backs  before  their  enemies, 
because  they  are  become  ^accursed:    I  will  not  be

with  you  any  more,  except  ye  destroy  the  accursed  from 
among  you. 

13  Up,  "sanctify  the  people,  and  say,  "Sanctify  yourselves 
against  to-morrow :  for  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
There  is  an  accursed  thing  in  the  midst  of  thee,  O  Is'ra-el : 
thou  canst  not  stand  before  thine  enemies,  until  ye  take 
away  the  accursed  thing  from  among  you. 

14  In  the  morning  therefore  ye  shall  be  brought  accord- 
ing to  your  tribes :  and  it  shall  be,  that  the  tribe  which  'the 
LoED  taketh  shall  come  according  to  the  families  thereof; 
and  the  family  which  the  Lord  shall  take  shall  come  by 
households;  and  the  household  which  the  Lord  shall  take 
shall  come  man  by  man. 

15  ""And  it  shall  he,  that  he  that  is  taken  with  the  accursed 
thing  shall  be  burnt  with  fire,  he  and  all  that  he  hath : 
because  he  hath  'transgressed  the  covenant  of  the  Lord, 
and  because  he  'hath  wrought  ||  folly  in  Is'ra-el. 

16  ^So  Josh'u-a  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  brought 
Is'ra-el  by  their  tribes ;  and  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah  was  taken  : 

17  And  he  brought  the  family  of  Ju'dah  ;  and  he  took  the 
family  of  the  Zar'hites :  and  he  brought  the  family  of  the 
Zar'hites  man  by  man ;  and  Zab'di  was  taken  : 

18  And  he  brought  his  household  man  by  man;  and 
A'chan  the  son  of  Ca/mi,  the  son  of  Zab'di,  the  son  of  Ze'- 
rah,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah,  "was  taken. 

19  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  A'chan,  My  son,  ""give,  I  pray 
thee,  glory  to  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  "and  make  confes- 
sion unto  him ;  and  'tell  me  now  what  thou  hast  done ;  hide 
it  not  from  me. 

20  And  A'chan  answered  Josh'u-a,  and  said.  Indeed  I  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  thus  and  thus 
have  I  done : 

21  When  I  saw  among  the  spoils  a  goodly  Bab-y-lo'nish 
garment,  and  two  hundred  shekels  of  silver,  and  a  fwedge 
of  gold  of  fifty  shekels  weight,  then  I  coveted  them,  and 
took  them ;  and,  behold,  they  are  hid  in  the  earth  in  the 
midst  of  my  tent,  and  the  silver  under  it. 

22  ^So  Josh'u-a  sent  messengers,  and  they  ran  unto  the  tent ; 
and,  behold,  it  was  hid  in  his  tent,  and  the  silver  under  it. 

23  And  they  took  them  out  of  the  midst  of  the  tent,  and 
brought  them  unto  Josh'u-a,  and  unto  all  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  flaid  them  out  before  the  Lord. 

24  And  Josh'u-a,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  took  A'chan 
the  son  of  Ze'rah,  and  the  silver,  and  the  garment,  and  the 
wedge  of  gold,  and  his  sons,  and  his  daughters,  and  his 
oxen,  and  his  asses,  and  his  sheep,  and  his  tent,  and 
all  that  he  had :  and  they  brought  them  unto  "the  valley 
of  A'chor. 

25  And  Josh'u-a  said,  'Why  hast  thou  troubled  us  ?  the 
Lord  shall  trouble  thee  this  day.  "And  all  Is'ra-el  stoned 
him  with  stones,  and  burned  them  with  fire,  after  they  had 
stoned  them  with  stones. 

26  And  they  ''raised  over  him  a  great  heap  of  stones  unto 
this  day.  So  'the  Lord  turned  from  the  fierceness  of  his 
anger.  Wherefore  the  name  of  that  place  was  called,  •'^  The 
valley  of  ||  A'chor,  unto  this  day. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

God  encourageth  Joshua^oshua  buildeth  an  altar, 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  "Fear  not,  neither  be 
thou  dismayed:  take  all  the  people  of  war  with  thee,  and 
arise,  go  up  to  A'i :  see,  ''I  have  given  into  thy  hand  the 
king  of  A'i,  and  his  people,  and  his  city,  and  his  land : 

2  And  thou  shalt  do  to  A'i  and  her  king  as  thou  didst 
unto  "Jer'i-cho  and  her  king :  only  ''the  spoil  thereof,  and 
the  cattle  thereof,  shall  ye  take  for  a  prey  unto  yourselves  : 
lay  thee  an  ambush  for  the  city  behind  it. 

3  *lJSo  Josh'u-a  arose,  and  all  the  people  of  war,  to  go  up 
against  A'i :  and  Josh'u-a  chose  out  thirty  thousand  mighty 
men  of  valour,  and  sent  them  away  by  night. 


with  you  any  more,  except  ye  destroy  the   devoted 

13  thing  from  among  you.  Up,  sanctify  the  people,  and 
say.  Sanctify  yourselves  against  to-morrow :  for  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  There  is  a  devoted 
thing  in  the  midst  of  thee,  O  Is'ra-el :  thou  canst  not 
stand  before  thine  enemies,  until  ye  take  away  the  de- 

14  voted  thing  from  among  you.  In  the  morning  there- 
fore ye  shall  be  brought  near  by  your  tribes :  and  it 
shall  be,  that  the  tribe  which  the  Lord  taketh  shall 
come  near  by  families ;  and  the  family  which  the  Lord 
shall  take  shall  come  near  by  households ;  and  the 
household   which   the  Lord  shall  take   shall  come 

15  near  man  by  man.  And  it  shall  be,  that  he  that  is 
taken  with  the  devoted  thing  shall  be  burnt  with  fire, 
he  and  all  that  he  hath  :  because  he  hath  transgressed 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and  because  he  hath 
wrought  folly  in  Is'ra-el. 

16  So  Josh'u-a  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and 
brought  Is'ra-el  near  by  their  tribes;  and  the  tribe 

17 of  Ju'dah  was  taken:  and  he  brought  near  the 
'family  of  Ju'dah ;  and  he  took  the  family  of  the 
Ze'ra-hites :  and  he   brought  near  the  family  of  the 

18Ze'ra-hites  ^man  by  man;  and  Zab'di  was  taken  :  and 
he  brought  near  his  household  man  by  man;  and 
A'chan,  the  son  of  Car' mi,  the  son  of  Zab'di,  the  son 

19  of  Ze'rah,  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah,  was  taken.  And 
Josh'u-a  said  unto  A'chan,  My  son,  give,  I  pray  thee, 
glory  to  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  'make 
confession  unto  him  ;    and   tell   me  now  what  thou 

20  hasst  done ;  hide  it  not  from  me.  And  A'chan  an- 
swered Josh'u-a,  and  said,  Of  a  truth  I  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  thus  and 

21  thus  have  I  done :  when  I  saw  ainong  the  spoil  a 
goodly*Bab-y-lo'nish  mantle,and  two  hundred  shekels 
of  silver,  and  a  wedge  of  gold  of  fifty  shekels  weight, 
then  I  coveted  them,  and  took  them :  and,  behold, 
they  are  hid  in  the  earth  in  the  midst  of  my  tent, 

22  and  the  silver  under  it.  So  Josh'u-a  sent  messengers, 
and  they  ran  unto  the  tent;  and,  behold,  it  was  hid 

23  in  his  tent,  and  the  silver  under  it.  And  they  took 
them  from  the  midst  of  the  tent,  and  brought  them 
unto  Josh'u-a,  and  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ; 

24  and  they  laid  them  down  before  the  Lord.  And 
Josh'u-a,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  took  A'chan  the 
son  of  Ze'rah,  and  the  silver,  and  the  mantle,  and 
the  wedge  of  gold,  and  his  sons,  and  his  daughters, 
and  his  oxen,  and  his  asses,  and  his  sheep,  and  his 
tent,  and  all  that  he  had :   and  they  brought  them 

25  up  unto  the  valley  of  A'chor.  And  Josh'u-a  said. 
Why  hast  thou  troubled  us '?  the  Lord  shall  trouble 
thee  this  day.  And  all  Is'ra-el  stoned  him  with 
stones ;  and  they  burned  them  with  fire,  and  stoned 

26  them  with  stones.  And  they  raised  over  him  a 
great  heap  of  stones,  unto  this  day;  and  the  Lord 
turned  from  the  fierceness  of  his  anger.  Wherefore 
the  name  of  that  place  was  called.  The  valley  of 
'A'chor,  unto  this  day.  • 

O  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Fear  not,  neither 
be  thou  dismayed:  take  all  the  people  of  war  with  thee, 
and  arise,  go  up  to  A'i :  see,  I  have  given  into  thy  hand 
the  king  of  A'i,  and  his  people,  and  his  city,  and  his 

2  land :  and  thou  shalt  do  to  A'i  and  her  king  as  thou 
didst  unto  Jer'i-cho  and  her  king:  only  the  spoil  there- 
of, and  the  cattle  thereof,  shall  ye  take  for  a  prey  unto 
yourselves :  set  thee  an  ambusli  for  the  city  behind  it. 

3  So  Josh'u-a  arose,  and  all  the  people  of  war,  to  go  up 
to  A'i:  and  Josh'u-a  chose  out  thirty  thousand  men,the 
mighty  men  of  valour,  and  sent  them  forth  by  night.

4  And  he  commanded  them,  saying,  Behold,  'ye  shall  lie 
in  wait  against  the  city,  even  behind  the  city :  go  not  very 
far  from  the  city,  but  be  ye  all  ready : 

5  And  I,  and  all  the  people  that  are  with  me,  will  approach 
unto  the  city :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  they  come  out 
against  us,  as  at  the  first,  that  •'we  will  flee  before  them, 

6  (For  they  will  come  out  after  us,)  till  we  have  fdrawn 
them  from  the  city;  for  they  will  say.  They  flee  before  us, 
as  at  the  first :  therefore  we  will  flee  before  them. 

7  Then  ye  shall  rise  up  from  the  ambush,  and  seize  upon  the 
city :  for  the  LoKD  your  God  will  deliver  it  into  your  hand. 

8  And  it  shall  be,  when  ye  have  taken  the  city,  that  ye 
shall  set  the  city  on  fire :  according  to  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  shall  ye  do.     "See,  I  have  commanded  you. 

9  ^Josh'u-a  therefore  sent  them  forth ;  and  they  went  to  lie 
in  ambush,  and  abode  between  Beth' -el  and  A'i,  on  the  west 
side  of  A'i :  but  Josh'u-a  lodged  that  night  among  the  people. 

10  And  Josh'u-a  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  num- 
bered the  people,  and  went  up,  he  and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el, 
before  the  people  to  A'i. 

11  *And  all  the  people,  even  the  people  of  war  that  were 
with  him,  went  up,  and  drew  nigh,  and  came  before  the 
city,  and  pitched  on  the  north  side  of  A'i :  now  there  was 
a  valley  between  them  and  A'i. 

12  And  he  took  about  five  thousand  men,  and  set  them  to  lie 
in  ambush  between  Beth'-el  and  A'i,  on  the  west  side  1 1  of  the  city. 

13  And  when  they  had  set  the  people,  even  all  the  host 
that  was  on  the  north  of  the  city,  and  ftheir  Hers  in  wait 
on  the  west  of  the  city,  Josh'u-a  went  that  night  into  the 
midst  of  the  valley. 

14  ^And  it  came  to  pass  when  the  king  of  A'i  saw  it,  that 
they  hasted  and  rose  up  early,  and  the  men  of  the  city  went 
out  against  Is'ra-el  to  battle,  he  and  all  his  people,  at  a  time 
appointed,  before  the  plain :  but  he  'wist  not  that  there  were 
liers  in  ambush  against  him  behind  the  city. 

15  And  Josh'u-a  and  all  Is'ra-el  *made  as  if  they  were  beaten 
before  them,  and  fled  by  the  way  of  the  wilderness. 

16  And  all  the  people  that  were  in  A'i  were  called  together 
to  pursue  after  them :  and  they  pursued  after  Josh'u-a,  and 
were  drawn  away  from  the  city. 

17  And  there  was  not  a  man  left  in  A'i  or  Beth'-el,  that  went 
not  out  after  Is'ra-el :  and  they  left;  the  city  open,  and  pur- 
sued aft«r  Is'ra-el. 

18  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Stretch  out  the  spear 
that  is  in  thine  hand  toward  A'i ;  for  I  will  give  it  into  thine 
hand.  And  Josh'u-a  stretched  out  the  spear  that  Ae  had  in 
his  hand  toward  the  city. 

19  And  the  ambush  arose  quickly  out  of  their  place,  and 
they  ran  as  soon  as  he  had  stretched  out  his  hand :  and 
they  entered  into  the  city,  and  took  it,  and  hasted  and  set 
the  city  on  fire. 

20  And  when  the  men  of  A'i  looked  behind  them  they  saw, 
and,  behold,  the  smoke  of  the  city  ascended  up  to  heaven, 
and  they  had  no  fpower  to  flee  this  way  or  that  way :  and 
the  people  that  fled  to  the  wilderness  turned  back  upon  the 
pursuers. 

21  And  when  Josh'u-a  and  all  Is'ra-el  saw  that  the  ambush 
had  taken  the  city,  and  that  the  smoke  of  the  city  ascended, 
then  they  turned  again,  and  slew  the  men  of  A'i. 

22  And  the  other  issued  out  of  the  city  against  them ;  so 
they  were  in  the  midst  of  Is'ra-el,  some  on  this  side,  and 
some  on  that  side :  and  they  smote  them,  so  that  they  let 
none  of  them  remain  or  escape. 

23  And  the  king  of  A'i  they  took  alive,  and  brought  him 
to  Josh'u-a. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass  when  Is'ra-el  had  made  an  end  of 
slaying  all  the  inhabitants  of  A'i  in  the  field,  in  the  wilder- 
ness wherein  they  chased  them,  and  when  they  were  all 
fallen  on  the  edge  of  the  sword  until  they  were  consumed. 


4  And  he  commanded  them,  saying.  Behold,  ye  shall 
lie  in  ambush  against  the  city,  behind  the  city :  go 

5  not  very  &r  from  the  city,  but  be  ye  all  ready :  and  I, 
and  all  the  people  that  are  with  me,  will  approach  un- 
to the  city :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  they  come 
out  against  us,  as  at  the  first,  that  we  will  flee  before 

6  them ;  and  they  will  come  out  after  us,  till  we  have 
drawn  them  away  from  the  city;  for  they  will  say. 
They  flee  before  us,  as  at  the  first ;  so  we  will  flee  be- 

7  fore  them :  "and  ye  shall  rise  up  from  the  ambush,  and 
take  possession  of  the  city :  for  the  Lord  your  God 

8  will  deliver  it  into  your  hand.  And  it  shall  be  when 
ye  have  seized  upon  the  city,  that  ye  shall  set  the  city 
on  fire ;  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord  shall  ye 

9  do :  see,  I  have  commanded  you.  And  Josh'u-a  sent 
them  forth :  and  they  went  to  the  ambushment,  and 
abode  between  Beth'-el  and  A'i,  on  the  west  side  of 
A'i :  but  Josh'u-a  lodged  that  night  among  the  people. 

10  And  Josh'u-a  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and 
mustered  the  people,  and  went  up,  he  and  the  elders 

11  of  Is'ra-el,  before  the  people  to  A'i.  And  all  the 
people,  even  the  men  of  war  that  were  with  him, 
went  up,  and  drew  nigh,  and  came  before  the  city, 
and  pitched  on  the  north  side  of  A'i :  now  there  was 

12a  valley  between  him  and  A'i.  And  he  took  about 
five  thousand  men,  and  set  them  in  ambush  between 

13  Beth'-el  and  A'i,  on  the  west  side  of  'the  city.  ^So 
they  set  the  people,  even  all  the  host  that  was  on 
the  north  of  the  city,  and  their  liers  in  wait  that  were 
on  the  west  of  the  city ;  and  Josh'u-a  'went  that  night 

14  into  the  midst  of  the  vale.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  king  of  A'i  saw  it,  that  they  hasted  and 
rose  up  early,  and  the  men  of  the  city  went  out 
against  Is'ra-el  to  battle,  he  and  all  his  people,  ^at 
the  time  appointed,  before  the  Ar'a-bah  ;  but  he  wist 
not  that  there  was  an  ambush  against  him  behind 

15  the  city.  And  Josh'u-a  and  all  Is'ra-el  made  as  if 
they  were  beaten  before  them,  and  fled  by  the  way 

16  of  the  wilderness.  And  all  the  people  that  were 
in  'the  city  were  called  together  to  pursue  after 
Is'ra-el :  and  they  pursued  after  Josh'u-a,  and  were 

17  drawn  away  from  the  city.  And  there  was  not  a 
main  left  in  A'i  or  Beth'-el,  that  went  not  out  after 

18  Is'ra-el :  and  they  left  the  city  open,  and  pursued  after 
them.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Stretch 
out  the  javelin  that  is  in  thy  hand  toward  A'i;  for  I 
will  give  it  into  thine  hand.  And  Josh'u-a  stretched 
out  the  javelin  that  was  in  his  hand  toward  the  city. 

19  And  the  ambush  arose  quickly  out  of  their  place, 
and  they  ran  as  soon  as  he  had  stretched  out  his 
hand,  and  entered  into  the  city,  and  took  it;  and 

20  they  hasted  and  set  the  city  on  fire.  And  when  the 
men  of  A'i  looked  behind  them,  they  saw,  and,  be- 
hold, the  smoke  of  the  city  ascended  up  to  heaven, 
and  they  had  no  'power  to  flee  this  way  or  that  way : 
and  the  people  that  fled  to  the  wilderness  turned 

21  back  upon  the  pursuers.  And  when  Josh'u-a  and  all 
Is'ra-el  saw  that  the  ambush  had  taken  the  city,  and 
that  the  smoke  of  the  city  ascended,  then  they  turned 

22  again,  and  slew  the  men  of  A'i.  And  the  other  came 
forth  out  of  the  city  against  them ;  so  they  were  in 
the  midst  of  Is'ra-el,  some  on  this  side,  and  some  on 
that  side  :  and  they  smote  them  so  that  they  let  none 

23  of  them  remain  or  escape.     And  the  king  of  A'i  they 

24  took  alive,  and  brought  him  to  Josh'u-a.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Is'ra-el  had  made  an  end  of  slaying  all 
the  inhabitants  of  A'i  in  the  field,  in  the  wilderness 
wherein  they  pursued  them,  and  they  were  all  fallen 
by  the  edge  of  the  sword,  until  they  were  consumed.

that  all  the  Is'ra-el-ites  returned  unto  A'i,  and  smote  it  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword. 

25  And  so  it  was,  that  all  that  fell  that  day,  both  of  men 
and  women,  were  twelve  thousand,  even  all  the  men  of  A'i. 

26  For  Josh'u-a  drew  not  his  hand  back,  wherewith  he 
stretched  out  the  sjiear,  until  he  had  utterly  destroyed  all 
the  inhabitants  of  A'i. 

27  '"Only  the  cattle  and  the  spoil  of  that  city  Is'ra-el  took 
for  a  prey  unto  themselves,  according  unto  the  word  of  the 
Lord  which  he  "commanded  Josh'u-a. 

28  And  Josh'u-a  burnt  A'i,  and  made  it  "a,  heap  for  ever, 
even  a  desolation  unto  this  day. 

29  *And  the  king  of  A'i  he  hanged  on  a  tree  until  even- 
tide :  'and  as  soon  as  the  sun  was  down,  Josh'u-a  commanded 
that  they  should  take  his  carcass  down  from  the  tree,  and 
cast  it  at  the  entering  of  the  gate  of  the  city,  and  ''raise 
thereon  a  great  heap  of  stones,  that  remaineth  unto  this  day. 

30  ^Then  Josh'u-a  built  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el  'in  mount  E'bal, 

31  As  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  commanded  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  as  it  is  written  in  the  'book  of  the  law  of 
Mo'ses,  an  altar  of  whole  stones,  over  which  no  man  hath 
lifted  up  any  iron:  and  "they  offered  thereon  burnt  offer- 
ings unto  the  Lord,  and  sacrificed  peace  offerings. 

.^2  ^And^he  wrote  there  upon  the  stones  a  copy  of  the  law  of 
Mo'ses,  which  he  wrote  in  the  presence  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

33  And  all  Is'ra-el,  and  their  elders,  and  officers,  and  their 
judges,  stood  on  this  side  the  ark  and  on  that  side  before  the 
priests  tho  Le'vites,''which  bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  as  well  the  'stranger,  as  he  that  was  born  among  them ; 
half  of  them  over  against  mount  Ger'i-zim,  andhai  f  of  them  over 
against  mount  E'bal ;  "as  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  had 
commanded  before,  that  they  should  bless  the  people  of  Is'ra-el. 

34  And  afterward  'he  read  all  the  words  of  the  law,  "the 
blessings  and  cursings,  according  to  all  that  is  written  in 
the  book  of  the  law. 

35  There  was  not  a  word  of  all  that  Mo'ses  commanded, 
which  Josh'u-a  read  not  before  all  the  congregation  of  Is'- 
ra-el, ''with  the  women,  and  the  little  ones,  and  'the  strangers 
that  fwere  conversant  among  them. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

The  kings  combine  against  Israel—The  Gibeonites  obtain  a  league. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  kings  which  were  on 
this  side  Jor'dan,  in  the  hills,  and  in  the  valleys,  and 
in  all  the  coasts  of  "the  great  sea  over  against  Leb'a-non, 
''the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  the  Ca'naan-ite,  the  Per'iz- 
zite,  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site,  heard  thereof; 

2  That  they  ''gathered  themselves  together,  to  fight  with 
Josh'ua  and  with  Is'ra-el,  with  one  faccord. 

3  *f[And  when  the  inhabitants  of  ''Gib'e-on  'heard  what 
Josh'u-a  had  done  unto  Jer'i-cho  and  to  A'i, 

4  They  did  work  wUily,  and  went  and  made  as  if  they  had 
been  ambassadors,  and  took  old  sacks  upon  their  asses,  and 
wine  bottles,  old,  and  rent,  and  bound  up ; 

5  And  old  shoes  and  clouted  upon  their  feet,  and  old  gar- 
ments upon  them ;  and  all  the  bread  of  their  provision  was 
dry  and  mouldy. 

6  And  they  went  to  Josh'u-a  -'^unto  the  camp  at  Gil'gal, 
and  said  unto  him,  and  to  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  We  be  come 
from  a  far  country :  now  therefore  make  ye  a  league  with  us. 

7  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  the  "Hi'vites,  Peradventure 
ye  dwell  among  us  ;  and  *how  shall  we  make  a  league  with  you? 

8  And  they  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  'We  are  thy  servants.  And 
Josh'u-a  said  unto  theni,  Who  are  ye?  and  from  whence 
come  ye? 

9  And  they  saiduntohim,*Froma  very  far  country  thy  serv- 
ants are  come,  because  of  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God :  for 
we  have  'heard  the  fame  of  him,  and  all  that  he  did  in  E'gypt, 

10  And  ""all  that  he  did  to  the  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites, 


that  all  Is'ra-el  returned  unto  A'i,  and  smote  it  with 

25  the  edge  of  the  sword.  And  all  that  fell  that  day, 
both  of  men  and  women,  were  twelve  thousand,  even 

26  all  the  men  of  A'i.  For  Josh'u-a  drew  not  back  his 
hand,  wherewith  he  stretched  out  the  javelin,  until 
he  had  'utterly  de.stroyed  all  the  inhabitants  of  A'i 

27  Only  the  cattle  and  the  spoil  of  that  city  Is'ra-el  took 
for  a  prey  unto  themselves,  according  unto  the  word 

28  of  the  Lord  which  he  commanded  Josh'u-a.  So 
Josh'u-a  burnt  A'i,  and  made  it  an  ^heap  for  ever,  even 

29  a  desolation,  unto  this  day.  And  the  king  of  A'i 
he  hanged  on  a  tree  until  the  eventide :  and  at  the 
going  down  of  the  sun  Josh'u-a  commanded,  and  they 
took  his  carcase  down  from  the  tree,  and  cast  it  at 
the  entering  of  the  gate  of  the  city,  and  raised  there- 
on a  great  heap  of  stones,  unto  this  day. 

30  Then  Josh'u-a  built  an  altar  unto  the  Lord,  the 

31  God  of  Is'ra-el,  in  mount  E'bal,  as  Mo'ses  the  servant 
of  the  Lord  commanded  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  as  it 
is  written  in  the  book  of  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  an  altar 
of  'unhewn  stones,  upon  which  no  man  had  lift  up 
any  iron :  and   they  offered  thereon  burnt  offerings 

32  unto  the  Lord,  and  sacrificed  peace  offerings.  And 
he  wrote  there  upon  *the  stones  a  copy  of  the  law  of 
Mo'ses,  'which  he  wrote,  in  the  presence  of  the  chil- 

33  dren  of  Is'ra-el.  And  all  Is'ra-el,  and  their  elders  and 
officers,  and  their  judges,  stood  on  this  side  the  ark 
and  on  that  side  before  the  priests  the  Le'vites, 
which  bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  as 
well  the  stranger  s  the  homeborn ;  half  of  them  in 
front  of  mount  Ger'i-zim,  and  half  of  them  in  front  of 
mount  E'bal ;  as  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  had 

*commanded,  that  they  should  bless  the  people   of 

34  Is'ra-el  first  of  all.  And  afterward  he  read  all  the 
words  of  the  law,  the  blessing  and  the  curse,  accord- 
ing to  all  that  is  written  in  the  book  of  the  law. 

35  There  was  not  a  word  of  all  that  Mo'ses  commanded, 
which  Josh'u-a  read  not  before  all  the  assembly  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  the  women,  and  the  little  ones,  and  the 
strangers  that  Vere  conversant  among  them. 

V  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  kings  which  were 
beyond  Jc'dan,  in  the  hill  country,  and  in  the  low- 
land, and  on  all  the  .shore  of  the  great  sea  in  front  of 
Leb'a-non,the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  the  Ca'naan- 
ite,the  Per'iz-zite,the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site,  heard 

2  thereof;  that  they  gathered  themselves  together,  to 
fight  with  Josh'u-a  and  with  Is'ra-el,  with  one  accord. 

3  But  when  the  inhabitants  of  Gib'e-on  heard  what 

4  Josh'u-a  had  done  unto  Jer'i-cho  and  to  A'i,  they  also 
did  work  wilily,  and  went  and  'made  as  if  they  had 
been  ambassadors,  and  took  old  sacks  upon  their 
asses,  and  wine-skins,  old  and  rent  and  bound  up; 

5  and  old  shoes  and  clouted  upon  their  feet,  and  old 
garments    upon    them ;   and  all  the  bread  of  their 

6  provision  was  dry  and  was  become  mouldy.  And 
they  went  to  Josh'u-a  unto  the  camp  at  Gil'gal,  and 
said  unto  him,  and  to  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  We  are 
come  from  a  far  country :    now  therefore  make  ye  a 

7  covenant  with  us.  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  .said  unto 
the  Hi'vites,  Peradventure  ye  dwell  among  us ;  and 

Show  shall  we  make  a  covenant  with  you?  And 
they  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  We  are  thy  servants.  And 
Josh'u-h  said   unto   them.  Who  are  ye?   and  from 

9  whence  come  ye  ?     And  they  said  unto  him.  From 

a  very  far  country  thy  servants  are  come  because  of 

the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God :  for  we  have  heard 

10  the  fame  of  him,  and  all  that  he  did  in  E'gypt,  and 

all  that  he  did  to  the  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites,

that  were  beyond  Jor'dan,  to  Si'hon  king  of  Hesh'bon,  and 
to  Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  which  was  at  Ash'ta-roth. 

11  Wherefore  our  elders,  and  all  the  inhabitants  of  our 
country  spake  to  us,  saying.  Take  victuals  fwith  you  for 
the  journey,  and  go  to  meet  them,  and  say  unto  them,  We 
are  your  servants  :  therefore  now  make  ye  a  league  with  us. 

12  This  our  bread  we  took  hot  /o?-  our  provision  out  of 
our  houses  on  the  day  we  came  forth  to  go  unto  you ;  but 
now,  behold,  it  is  dry,  and  it  is  mouldy : 

13  And  these  bottles  of  wine,  which  we  filled,  were  new, 
and,  behold,  they  be  rent :  and  these  our  garments  and  our 
shoes  are  become  old  by  reason  of  the  very  long  journey. 

14  And  II  the  men  took  of  their  victuals,  "and  asked  not 
counsel  at  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

15  And  "Josh'u-a  made  peace  with  them,  and  made  a  league 
with  them,  to  let  them  live  :  and  the  princes  of  the  congre- 
gation sware  unto  them. 

16  ^And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  three  days  after 
they  had  made  a  league  with  them,  that  they  heard  that  they 
were  their  neighbours,  and  that  they  dwelt  among  them. 

17  And  the  children  of  Is' ra-el  journeyed,  and  came  unto 
their  cities  on  the  third  day.  Now  their  cities  were  "Gib'e-on, 
and  Che-phi'ra,  and  Be-e'roth,  and  Kir'jath-je'a-rim. 

18  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  smote  them  not,  'because 
the  princes  of  the  congregation  had  sworn  unto  them  by 
the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el.  And  all  the  congregation  mui  • 
mured  against  the  princes. 

19  But  all  the  princes  said  unto  all  the  congregation,  We 
have  sworn  unto  them  by  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el :  now 
therefore  we  may  not  touch  them. 

20  This  we  will  do  to  them ;  we  will  even  let  them  live, 
lest  ''wrath  be  upon  us,  Ijecause  of  the  oath  which  we  sware 
unto  them. 

21  And  the  princes  s?Id  unto  them.  Let  them  live ;  but  let 
them  be  'hewers  of  w  jd  and  drawers  of  water  unto  all  the 
congregation  ;  as  the  princes  had  'promised  them. 

22  ^And  Josh'u-a  called  for  them,  and  he  spake  unto  them, 
saying.  Wherefore  have  ye  beguiled  us,  saying,  "We  are 
very  far  from  you ;  when  ^ye  dwell  among  us  ? 

23  Now  therefore  ye  are  "cursed,  and  there  shall  fnone  of 
you  be  •frec'i  from  being  bondmen,  and  'hewers  of  wood 
and  drawp'^s  of  water  for  the  house  of  my  God. 

24  And  they  answered  Josh'u-a,  and  said.  Because  it  was 
certair>ly  told  thy  servants,  how  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
"commanded  his  servant  Mo'ses  to  give  you  all  the  land,  and 
to  destroy  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land  from  before  you, 
therefore  'we  were  sore  afraid  of  our  lives  because  of  you, 
and  have  done  this  thing. 

25  And  now,  behold,  we  are  ''in  thine  hand :  as  it  seemeth 
good  and  right  unto  thee  to  do  unto  us,  do. 

26  And  so  did  he  unto  them,  and  delivered  them  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  slew  them  not. 

27  And  Josh'u-a  fmade  them  that  day  ''hewers  of  wood 
and  drawers  of  water  for  the  congregation  and  for  the  altar 
of  the  Lord,  even  unto  this  day,  'in  the  place  which  he 
should  choose. 

CHAPTER  X. 

Five  kings  war  against  Gibeon — The  sun  and  moon  stand  still, 

"Vr  OW  it  came  to  pass  when  A-don'i-ze'dek  king  of  Je-ru'- 
-Li  sa-lem  had  heard  how  Josh'u-a  had  taken  A'i,  and  had  ut- 
terly destroyed  it;  "as  he  had  done  to  Jer'i-cho  and  her  king,  so  he 
had  done  to  *A'i  and  her  king  ;  and  "how  the  inhabitants  of 
Gib'e-on  had  made  peace  with  Is'ra-el,  and  were  among  them ; 

2  That  they  ''feared  greatly,  because  Gib'e-on  was  a  great 
city,  as  one  of  the  froyal  cities,  and  because  it  was  greater 
than  A'i,  and  all  the  men  thereof  were  mighty. 

3  Wherefore  A-don'i-ze'dek  kingof  Je-ru'sa-lem  sent  unto  Ho'- 
hanikingofHe'bron,anduntoPi'ramkingofJar'muth,andunto 
Ja-phi'a  kingof  La'chish,and  u  nto  De'bir  kingof  Eg'lon, saying. 


that  were  beyond  Jor'dan,  to  Si'hon  king  of  Hesh'bon, 
and  to  Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  which  was  at  Ash'ta-roth. 

11  And  our  elders  and  all  the  inhabitants  of  our  country 
spake  to  us,  saying.  Take  provision  in  your  hand  for 
the  journey,  and  go  to  meet  them,  and  say  unto 
them.  We  are  your  servants :  ?nd  now  make  ye  a 

12  covenant  with  us.  This  our  bread  we  took  hot  for 
our  provision  out  of  our  houses  on  the  day  we  came 
forth  to  go  unto  you ;  but  now,  behold,  it  is  dry,  and 

13  is  become  mouldy  :  and  these  wine-skins,  which  we 
filled,  were  new ;  and,  behold,  they  be  rent :  and 
these  our  garments  and  our  shoes  are  become  old 

14  by  reason  of  the  very  long  journey.  And  the  men 
took  of  their  provision,  and  asked  not  counsel  at  the 

15  mouth  of  the  Lord.  And  Josh'u-a  made  peace  with 
theni,  and  made  a  covenant  with  them,  to  let  them 
live :  and  the  princes  of  the  congregation  sware  unto 

16  them.  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  three  days 
after  they  had  made  a  covenant  with  them,  that  they 
heard  that  they  were  their  neighbours,  and  that  they 

17  dwelt  among  them.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
journeyed,  and  came  unto  their  cities  on  the  third 
day.     Now  their  cities  were  Gib'e-on,  and  Che-phi'rah, 

18andBe-e'roth,andKir'i-ath-je'a-rim.  Andthechildren 
of  Is'ra-el  smote  them  not,  because  the  princes  of  the 
congregation  had  sworn  unto  them  by  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el.     And  all  the  congregation  murmured 

19  against  the  princes.  But  all  the  princes  said  unto 
all  the  congregation.  We  have  sworn  unto  them  by 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  now  therefore  we  may 

20  not  touch  them.  This  we  will  do  to  them,  and  let 
them  live ;  lest  wrath  be   upon  us,  because  of  the 

21  oath  which  we  sware  unto  them.  And  the  princes 
said  unto  them.  Let  them  live :  so  they  became 
hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of  water  unto  all  the 
congregation ;  as  the  princes  had  spoken  unto  them. 

22  And  Josh'u-a  called  for  them,  and  he  spake  unto 
them  saying.  Wherefore  have  ye  beguiled  us,  say- 
ing. We  are  very  far   from  you;   when  ye  dwell 

23 among  us?  Now  therefore  ye  are  cursed,  and 
there  'shall  never  fail  to  be  of  you  bondmen,  both 
hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of  water  for  the  house 

24  of  my  God.  And  they  answered  Josh'u-a,  and  said. 
Because  it  was  certainly  told  thy  serv^ants,  how  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  commanded  his  servant  Mo'ses  to 
give  you  all  the  land,  and  to  destroy  all  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land  from  before  you ;  therefore  we 
were  sore  afraid  for  our  lives  because  of  you,  and 

25  have  done  this  thing.  And  now,  behold,  we  are  in 
thine  hand :  as  it  seemeth  good  and  right  unto  thee 

26  to  do  unto  us,  do.  And  so  did  he  unto  them,  and 
delivered  them  out  of  the  hand  of  the  children  of 

27  Is'ra-el,  that  they  slew  them  not.  And  Josh'u-a  made 
them  that  day  hewers  of  wood  and  drawers  of  water 
for  the  congregation,  and  for  the  altar  of  the  Lord, 
unto  this  day,  in  the  place  which  he  should  choose. 

+v  Now  itcameto  pass,  when  A-don'i-ze'dek  king  of Je 
ru'sa-lem  heard  how  Josh'u-a  had  taken  A'i,  and  had  ^ut- 
terly destroyed  it ;  as  he  had  done  to  Jer'i-cho  and  her 
king,  so  he  had  done  to  A'i  and  her  king ;  and  how 
the  inhabitants  of  Gib'e-on  had  made  peace  with  Is'ra-el, 

2 and  were  among  them;  that  they  feared  greatly,  be- 
cause Gib'e-on  was  a  great  city,  as  one  of  the  royal 
cities,  and  because  it  was  greater  than  A'i,  and  all  the 

3  men  thereof  were  mighty.  Wherefore  A-don'i-ze'dek 
king  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  sent  unto  Ho'ham  kingof He'bron, 
and  unto  Pi'ram  king  of  Jar'muth,  and  unto  Ja-phi'a 
king  of  La'chish,a  nd  unto  De'bir  kingof  Eg'lon,  saying.

4  Come  up  nnto  me,  and  help  me,  that  we  may  smite 
Gib'e-on :  'for  it  hath  made  peace  with  Josh'u-a  and  with  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Therefore  the  five  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites,  the  king  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  king  of  He'bron,  the  king  of  Jar'niuth,  the 
king  of  La'chish,  the  king  of  Eg'lon,  ■'^gathered  themselves 
together,  and  went  up,  they  and  all  their  hosts,  and  encamped 
before  Gib'e-on,  and  made  war  against  it. 

6  5[And  the  men  of  Gib'e-on  sent  unto  Josh'u-a  "to  the  camp 
to  Gil'gal,  saying.  Slack  not  thy  hand  from  thy  servants ; 
come  up  to  us  quickly,  and  save  us,  and  help  us :  for  all  the 
kings  of  the  Am'o-rites  that  dwell  in  the  mountains  are 
gathered  together  against  us. 

7  So  Josh'u-a  ascended  from  Gil'gal,  he,  and  ''all  the  people 
of  war  with  him,  and  all  the  mighty  men  of  valour. 

8  *^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  'Fear  them  not :  for 
I  have  delivered  them  into  thine  hand ;  *there  shall  not  a 
man  of  them  stand  before  thee. 

9  Josh'u-a  therefore  came  unto  them  suddenly,  and  went 
up  from  Gil'gal  all  night. 

10  And  the  Lobd  'discomfited  them  before  Is'ra-el,  and 
slew  them  with  a  groat  slaughter  at  Gib'e-on,  and  chased 
them  along  the  way  that  goeth  up  ""to  Beth-ho'ron,  and 
smote  them  to  "A-ze'kah,  and  unto  Mak-ke'dah. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  as  they  fled  from  before  Is'ra-el, 
and  were  in  the  going  r'  wn  to  Beth-ho'ron,  "that  the  Lord 
cast  down  great  stones  from  heaven  upon  them  unto 
A-ze'kah,  and  they  di^d :  they  were  more  which  died  with 
hailstones  than  they  whom  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  slew  with 
the  sword. 

12  *^Then  spake  Josh'u-a  to  the  Lord  in  the  day  when  the 
Lord  delivered  up  the  Am'o-ritesbeforethechildren  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  he  said  in  the  sight  of  Is'ra-el,  ''Sun,  fstaud  thou  still 
upon  Gib'e-on ;  and  thou.  Moon,  in  the  valley  of  'Aj'a-lon. 

13  And 'the  sun  stood  still,  and  the  moon  stayed,  until  the 
people  had  avenged  themsrlves  upon  their  enemies.  ''Is 
not  this  written  in  the  book  of  1|  Ja  sher?  So  the  sun  stood 
still  in  the  midst  of  heaven,  and  hasted  not  to  go  down 
about  a  whole  day. 

14  And  there  was  'no  day  like  that  before  it  or  after  it, 
that  the  Lord  hearkened  unto  the  voice  of  a  man :  for  the 
Lord  fought  for  Is'ra-el. 

15  ^"And  Josh'u-a  returned,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him 
unto  the  camp  to  Gil'gal. 

16  But  these  five  kings  fled,  and  hid  themselves  in  a  cave 
at  Mak-ke'dah. 

17  And  it  was  told  Josh'u-a,  saying,  The  five  kings  are 
found  hid  in  a  cave'  at  Mak-ke'dah. 

18  And  Josh'u-a  said.  Roll  great  stones  upon  the  mouth 
of  the  cave,  and  set  men  by  it  for  to  keep  them : 

19  And  stay  ye  not,  biU  pursue  after  your  enemies,  and 
fsmite  the  hindmost  of  them ;  suffer  them  not  to  enter  into 
their  cities :  for  the  Lord  your  God  hath  delivered  them 
into  your  hand. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Josh'u-a  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  had  made  an  end  of  slaying  them  with  a  very  great 
slaughter,  till  they  were  consumed,  that  the  rest  which  re- 
mained of  them  entered  into  fenced  cities. 

21  And  all  the  people  returned  to  the  camp  to  Josh'u-a  at 
Mak-ke'dah  in  peace :  "none  moved  his  tongue  against  any 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

22  Then  said  Josh'u-a,  Open  the  mouth  of  the  cave,  and 
bring  out  those  five  kings  unto  me  out  of  the  cave. 

23  And  they  did  so,  and  brought  forth  those  five  kings 
unto  him  out  of  the  cave,  the  king  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  king 
of  He'bron,  the  king  of  Jar'muth,  the  king  of  La'chish,  and 
the  king  of  Eg'lon. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  brought  out  those 
kings  unto  Josh'u-a,  that  Josh'u-a  called  for  all  the  men  of 


4  Come  up  unto  me,  and  help  me,  and  let  us  smite 
Gib'e-on :  for  it  hath  made  peace  with  Josh'u-a  and 

5  with  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  Therefore  the  five 
kings  of  the  Am'o-rites,  the  king  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the 
king  of  He'bron,  the  king  of  Jar'muth,  the  king 
of  La'chish,  the  king  of  Eg'lon,  gathered  them 
selves  together,  and  went  up,  they  and  all  their 
hosts,   and  encamped  against   Gib'e-on,  and   made 

6  war  against  it.  And  the  men  of  Gib'e-on  sent  unto 
Josh'u-a  to  the  camp  to  Gil'gal,  saying.  Slack  not  thy 
hand  from  thy  servants;  come  up  to  us  quickly, 
and  save  us,  and  help  us:  for  all  the  kings  of  the 
Am'o-rites  that  dwell  in  the  hill  country  are  gathered 

7  together  against  us.  So  Josh'u-a  went  up  from  Gil'- 
gal, he,  and  all  the  people  of  war  with  him,  and  all 

8  the  mighty  men  of  valour.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Josh'u-a,  Fear  them  not :  for  I  have  delivered  them 
into  thine   hands;   there   shall  not  a  man  of  them 

9  stand  before  thee.  Josh'u-a  therefore  came  upon 
them  suddenly ;  for  he  went  up  from  Gil'gal  all  the 

10  night.  And  the  Lord  discomfited  them  before  Is'- 
ra-el, and  he  slew  them  with  a  great  slaughter  at  Gib'- 
e-on, and  chased  them  by  the  way  of  the  ascent  of  Beth- 
ho'ron,  and  smote  them  to  A-ze'kah,  and  unto  Mak-ke'- 

11  dah.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  fled  from  before 
Is'ra-el,  while  they  were  in  the  going  down  of  Beth- 
ho'ron,  that  the  Lord  cast  down  great  stones  from 
heaven  upon  them  unto  A-ze'kah,  and  they  died :  they 
were  more  which  died  with  the  hailstones  than  they 
whom  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  slew  with  the  sword 

12  Then  spake  Josh'u-u  to  the  Lord  in  the  day  when 
the  Lord  delivered  up  the  Am'o-rites  before  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el ;  and  he  said  in  the  sight  of  Is'ra-el, 

Sun,  "stand  thou  still  upon  Gib'e-on ; 

And  thou.  Moon,  in  the  valley  of  Ai'ja-lon. 

13  And  the  sun  stood  still,  and  the  moon  stayed. 
Until  the  nation  had  avenged  themselves  of  their 

enemies. 

Is  not  this  written  in  the  book  of  ^Ja'shar  ?     And  the 
sun  stayed  in  the  midst  of  heaven,  and  hasted  not  to 

14  go  down  about  a  whole  day.  And  there  was  no  day 
like  that  before  it  or  after  it,  that  the  Lord  hearkened 
unto  the  voice  of  a  man:  for  the  Lord  fought  for  Is'ra-el. 

15  And  Josh'u-a  returned,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him, 
unto  the  camp  to  Gil'gal. 

16  And  these  five  kings  fled,  and  hid  themselves  in 

17  the  cave  at  Mak-ke'dah.  And  it  was  told  Josh'u-a, 
saying,  the  five  kings  are  found,  hidden  in  the  cave 

18  at  Mak-ke'dah.  Aifid  Josh'u-a  said.  Roll  great  stones 
unto  the  mouth  of  the  cave,  and  set  men  by  it  for  to 

19 keep  them:  but  stay  not  ye;  pursue  after  your  ene- 
mies, and  smite  the  hindmost  of  them ;  suffer  them 
not  to  enter  into  their  cities:   for  the  Lord  your 

20  God  hath  delivered  them  into  your  hand.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  whon  Josh'u-a  and  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el haa  made  an  end  of  slaying  them  with  a  very 
great  slaughter,  till  they  were  consumed,  and  the 
remnant  which  remained  of  them  had  entered   into 

21  the  fenced  cities,  that  all  the  people  returned  to  the 
camp  to  Josh'u-a  at  Mak-ke'dah  in  peace :  none 
'moved  his  tongue  against  any  of  the  children  of 

22  Is'ra-el.  Then  said  Josh'u-a,  Open  the  mouth  of  the 
cave,  and  bring  forth  those  five  kings  unto  me  out 

23  of  the  cave.  And  they  did  so,  and  brought  forth 
those  five  kings  unto  him  out  of  the  cave,  the  king 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  king  of  He'bron,  the  king  of  Jar'- 

24  muth,  the  king  of  La'chish,  the  king  of  Eg'lon.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  they  brought  forth  those  kings 
unto  Josh'u-a,  that  Josh'u-a  called  for  all  the  men  of  i

Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto  the  captains  of  the  men  of  war  which 
went  with  him,  Come  near,  "put  your  feet  upon  the  necks 
of  these  kings.  And  they  came  near,  and  put  their  feet 
upon  the  necks  of  them. 

25  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  them,  'Fear  not,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed, be  strong  and  of  good  courage :  for  "thus  shall  the 
LoED  do  to  all  your  enemies  against  whom  ye  fight. 

26  And  afterward  Josh'u-a  smote  them,  and  slew  them,  and 
hanged  them  on  five  trees  :  and  they  'were  hanging  upon 
the  trees  until  the  evening. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time  of  the  going  down  of 
the  sun,  that  Josh'u-a  commanded,  and  they  "took  them  down 
off  the  trees,  and  cast  them  into  the  cave  wherein  they  had 
been  hid,  and  laid  great  stones  in  the  cave's  mouth,  which 
remain  until  this  very  day. 

28  51  And  that  day  Josh'u-a  took  Mak-ke'dah,  and  smote 
it  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  the  king  thereof  he  utterly 
destroyed,  them,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein ;  he  let 
none  remain :  and  he  did  to  the  king  of  Mak-ke'dah  ''as  he 
did  unto  the  king  of  Jer'i-cho. 

29  Then  Josh'u-a  passed  from  Mak-ke'dah,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  Lib'nah,  and  fought  against  Lib'nah : 

30  And  the  Lord  delivered  it  also,  and  the  king  thereof, 
into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  he  smote  it  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein ;  he  let  none 
remain  in  it ;  but  did  unto  the  king  thereof  as  he  did  unto 
the  king  of  Jer'i-cho. 

31  %And  Josh'u-a  passed  from  Lib'nah,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  La'chish,  and  encamped  against  it,  and 
fought  against  it : 

32  And  the  Lord  delivered  La'chish  into  the  hand  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  took  it  on  the  second  day,  and  smote  it  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein, 
according  to  all  that  he  had  done  to  Lib'nah. 

33  ^Then  Ho'ram  king  of  Ge'zer  came  up  to  help  La'chish ; 
and  Josh'u-a  smote  him  and  his  people,  until  he  had  left  him 
none  remaining. 

34  ^And  from  La'chish  Josh'u-a  passed  unto  Eg'lon,  and 
all  Is'ra-el  with  him ;  and  they  encamped  against  it,  and 
fought  against  it : 

35  And  they  took  it  on  that  day,  and  smote  it  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein  he 
utterly  destroyed  that  day,  according  to  all  that  he  had 
done  to  La'chish. 

36  And  Josh'u-a  went  up  from  Eg'lon,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with 
him,  unto  'He'bron;  and  they  fought  against  it: 

37  And  they  took  it,  and  smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  the  king  thereof,  and  all  the  cities  thereof,  and 
all  the  souls  that  loere  therein ;  he  left  none  remaining,  ac- 
cording to  all  that  he  had  done  to  Eg'lon ;  but  destroyed  it 
utterly,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein. 

38  ^And  Josh'u-a  returned,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  to 
•'^De'bir  ;  and  fought  against  it : 

39  And  he  took  it,  and  the  king  thereof,  and  all  the  cities 
thereof;  and  they  smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
utterly  destroyed  all  the  souls  that  were  therein ;  he  left 
none  remaining :  as  he  had  done  to  He'bron,  so  he  did  to 
De'bir,  and  to  the  king  thereof;  as  he  had  done  also  to 
Lib'nah,  and  to  her  king. 

40  ^So  Josh'u-a  smote  all  the  country  of  the  hills,  and  of 
the  south,  and  of  the  vale,  and  of  the  springs,  and  all  their 
kings :  he  left  none  remaining,  but  utterly  destroyed  all  that 
breathed,  as  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  "commanded. 

41  And  Josh'u-a  smote  them  from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a  even 
unto''Ga'za,'and  all  the  country  of  Go'shen,even  unto  Gib'e-on. 

42  And  all  these  kings  and  their  land  did  Josh'u-a  take  at 
one  time ;  ^because  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  fought  for  Is'ra-el. 

43  And  Josh'u-a  returned,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  unto 
the  camp  to  Gil'gal. 


Is'ra-el,and  said  unto  the  chiefs  of  the  men  of  war  which 
went  with  him,  Come  hear,  put  your  feet  upon  the 
necks  of  these  kings.     And  they  came  near,  and  put 

25  their  feet  upon  the  necks  of  them.  And  Josh'u-a  said 
unto  them,  Fear  not,  nor  be  dismayed ;  be  strong  and 
of  good  courage :  for  thus  shall  the  Ix)RD  do  to  all 

26  your  enemies  against  whom  ye  fight.  And  afterward 
Josh'u-a  smote  them,  and  put  them  to  death,  and 
hanged  them  on  five  trees :  and  they  were  hanging 

27  upon  the  trees  until  the  evening.  And  it  came  to  pass 
at  the  time  of  the  going  down  of  the  sun,  that  Josh'u-a 
commanded,  and  they  took  them  down  off  the  trees, 
and  cast  them  into  the  cave  wherein  they  had  hidden 
themselves,  and  laid  great  stones  on  the  mouth  of 
the  cave,  unto  this  very  day. 

28  And  Josh'u-a  took  Mak-ke'dah  on  that  day,  and  smote 
it  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  the  king  thereof;  he 
'utterly  destroyed  them  and  all  the  souls  that  were 
therein,  he  left  none  remaining :  and  he  did  to  the  king 
of  Mak'ke-dah  as  he  had  done  unto  the  king  of  Jer'i-cho. 

29  And  Josh'u-a  passed  from  Mak-ke'dah,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  Lib'nah,  and  fought  against  Lib'nah 

30  and  the  Lord  delivered  it  also,  and  the  king  thereof, 
into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  he  smote  it  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein ;  he 
left  none  remaining  in  it ;  and  he  did  unto  the  king 
thereof  as  he  had  done  unto  the  king  of  Jer'i-cho. 

31  And  Josh'u-a  passed  from  Lib'nah,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  La'chish,  and  encamped  against  it, 

32 and  fought  against  it:  and  the  Lord  delivered 
La'chish  into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el,  and  he  took  it  on 
the  second  day,  and  smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein,  according 
to  all  that  he  had  done  to  Lib'nah. 

33  Then  Ho'ram  king  of  Ge'zer  came  up  to  help 
La'chish ;  and  Josh'u-a  smote  him  and  his  people, 
until  he  had  left  him  none  remaining. 

34  And  Josh'u-a  passed  from  La'chish,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  Eg'lon ;  and  they  encamped  against 

35  it,  and  fought  against  it ;  and  they  took  it  on  that 
day,  and  smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  all 
the  souls  that  were  therein  he  'utterly  destroyed  that 
day,  according  to  all  that  he  had  done  to  La'chish. 

36  And  Josh'u-a  went  up  from  Eg'lon,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with 

37  him,  unto  He'bron ;  and  they  fought  against  it :  and 
they  took  it,  and  smote  it  with  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
and  the  king  thereof,  and  all  the  cities  thereof,  and  all 
the  souls  that  were  therein ;  he  left  none  remaining,  ac 
cording  to  all  that  he  had  done  to  Eg'lon  ;  but  he  'ut- 
terly destroyed  it,  and  all  the  souls  that  were  therein 

38  And  Josh'u-a  returned,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  to 

39  De'bir ;  and  fought  against  it :  and  he  took  it,  and 
the  king  thereof,  and  all  the  cities  thereof;  and 
they  smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
'utterly  destroyed  all  the  souls  that  were  therein; 
he  left  none  remaining  :  as  he  had  done  to  He'bron, 
so  he  did  to  De'bir,  and  to  the  king  thereof;  as  he 
had  done  also  to  Lib'nah,  and  to  the  king  thereof. 

40  So  Josh'u-a  smote  all  the  land,  the  hill  country, 
and  the  South,  and  the  lowland,  and  the  slopes, 
and  all  their  kings ;  he  left  none  remaining :  but  he 
'utterly  destroyed  all  that  breathed,  as  the  Lord, 

,41  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  commanded.  And  Josh'u-a  smote 
them  from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a  even  unto  Ga'za,  and  all 

42  the  country  of  Go'shen,  even  unto  Gib'e-on.  And  all 
these  kings  and  their  land  did  Josh'u-a  take  at  one 
time,  because  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  fought 

43  for  Is'ra-el.  And  Josh'u-a  returned,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  unto  the  camp  to  Gil'gal.  I

CHAPTER  XI. 

Divers  kings  overcome  at  the  waters  of  Merom. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ja'bin  king  of  Ha'zor  had 
heard  those  things,  that  he  "sent  to  Jo'bab  king  of  Ma'don, 
and  to  the  king  ''of  Shim'ron,  and  to  the  king  of  Ach'shaph, 

2  And  to  the  kings  that  were  on  the  north  of  the  mount- 
ains, and  of  the  plains  south  of  "Chin'ne-roth,  and  in  the  val- 
ley, and  in  the  borders  ''of  Dor  on  the  west, 

3  And  to  the  Ca'naan-ite  on  the  east  and  on  the  west,  and 
to  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite,  and  the 
Jeb'u-site  in  the  mountains, 'and  to  the  Hi'vite  under -'^Her'- 
mon  "in  the  land  of  Miz'peh. 

4  And  they  went  out,  they  and  all  their  hosts  with  them, 
much  people,  ''even  as  the  sand  that  is  upon  the  sea  shore 
in  multitude,  with  horses  and  chariots  very  many. 

5  And  when  all  these  kings  were  fmet  together,  they 
came  and  pitched  together  at  the  waters  of  Me'rom,  to  fight 
against  Is'ra-el. 

6  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  *Be  not  afraid  be- 
cause of  them :  for  to-morrow  about  this  time  will  I  deliver 
them  up  all  slain  before  Is'ra-el :  thou  shalt  *hough  their 
horses,  and  burn  their  chariots  with  fire.    • 

7  So  Josh'u-a  came,  and  all  the  people  of  war  with  him, 
against  them  by  the  waters  of  Me'rom  suddenly ;  and  they 
fell  upon  them. 

8  And  the  Lord  delivered  them  into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el, 
who  smote  them,  and  chased  them  unto  |1  great  Zi'don,  and 
unto  'II  tMis're-photh-ma'im,  and  unto  the  valley  of  Miz'peh 
eastward;  and  they  smote  them,  until  they  left  them  none 
remaining. 

9  And  Josh'u-a  did  unto  them  "as  the  Lord  bade  him :  he 
houghed  their  horses,  and  burnt  their  chariots  with  fire. 

10  ^And  Josh'u-a  at  that  time  turned  back,  and  took 
Ha'zor,  and  smote  the  king  thereof  with  the  sword :  for 
Ha'zor  beforetime  was  the  head  of  all  those  kingdoms. 

11  And  they  smote  all  the  souls  that  were  therein  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  utterly  destroying  them :  there  was 
not  t^ny  left  to  breathe :  and  he  burnt  Ha'zor  with  fire. 

12  And  all  the  cities  of  those  kings,  and  all  the  kings  of 
them,  did  Josh'u-a  take,  and  smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  he  utterly  destroyed  them,  "as  Mo'ses  the  serv- 
ant of  the  Lord  commanded. 

13  But  as  for  the  cities  that  stood  still  fin  their  strength, 
Is'ra-el  burned  none  of  them,  save  Ha'zor  only ;  that  did 
Josh'u-a  burn. 

14  And  all  the  spoil  of  these  cities,  and  the  cattle,  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  took  for  a  prey  unto  themselves;  but 
every  man  they  smote  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  until 
they  had  destroyed  them,  neither  left  they  any  to  breathe. 

15  ^"As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses  his. servant,  so  "did 
Mo'ses  command  Josh'u-a,  and  »so  did  Josh'u-a ;  \he  left 
nothing  undone  of  all   that  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

16  So  Josh'u-a  took  all  that  land,  'the  hills,  and  all  the  south 
country,  'and  all  the  land  of  Go'shen,  and  the  valley,  and  the 
plain,  and  the  mountain  of  Is'ra-el, and  the  valley  of  the  same; 

17  ^Even  from  ||  the  mount  Ha'lak,  that  goeth  up  to  Se'ir, 
even  unto  Ba'al-gad  in  the  valley  of  Leb'a-non  under  mount 
Her'mon  :  and  "all  their  kings  he  took,  and  smote  them,  and 
slew  them. 

18  II  Josh'u-a  made  war  a  long  time  with  all  those  kings. 

19  There  was  not  a  city  that  made  peace  with  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  save  *the  Hi'vites  the  inhabitants  of  Gib'e-on :  all 
other  they  took  in  battle. 

20  For  "it  was  of  the  Lord  to  harden  their  hearts,  that 
they  should  come  against  Is'ra-el  in  battle,  that  he  might  de- 
stroy them  utterly,  and  that  they  might  have  no  favour,  but 
that  he  might  destroy  them,  'as  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses. 

21  ^And  at  that  time  came  Josh'u-a,  and  cut  off  "the 
An'a-kim  from  the  mountains,  from  He'bron,  from  De'bir, 


+*-  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ja'bin  king  of  Ha'zor 
heard  thereof,  that  he  sent  to  Jo'bab  king  of  Ma'don, 
and  to  the  king  of  Shim'ron,  and  to  the  king  of  Ach'- 

2  shaph,  and  to  the  kings  that  were  on  the  north,  in 
the  hill  country,  and  in  the  Ar'a-bah  south  of  Chin'- 
ne-roth,  and  in  the  lowland,  and  in  'the  heights  of 

3  Dor  on  the  west,  to  the  Ca'naan-ite  on  the  east  and 
on  the  west,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and 
the  Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Jeb'u  site  in  the  hill  country, 
and  the  Hi'vite  under  Her'mon  in  the  land  of  Miz'pah. 

4  And  they  went  out,  they  and  all  their  hosts  with 
them,  much  people,  even  as  the  sand  that  is  upon 
the  sea  shore  in  multitude,  with  horses  and  chariots 

5  very  many.  And  all  the.se  kings  met  together ;  and 
they  came  and  pitched   together  at  the  waters  of 

6  Me'rom,  to  fight  with  Is'ra-el.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Josh'u-a,  Be  not  afraid  because  of  them  :  for  to- 
morrow at  this  time  will  I  deliver  them  up  all  slain 
before  Is'ra-el :   thou  shalt  hough  their  horses,  and 

7  burn  their  chariots  with  fire.  So  Josh'u-a  came,  and 
all  the  people  of  war  with  him,  against  them  by  the 
waters  of  Me'rom  suddenly,  and   fell   upon  them. 

8  And  the  Lord  delivered  them  into  the  hand  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  they  smote  them,  and  chased  them  unto 
great  Zi'don,  and  unto  Mis're-photh-ma'im,  and  unto 
the  valley  of  Miz'peh  eastward ;  and  they  smote  them, 

9  until  they  left  them  none  remaining.  And  Josh'u-a 
did  unto  them  as  the  Lord  bade  him:  he  houghed 
their  horses,  and  burnt  their  chariots  with  fire. 

10  And  Josh'u-a  turned  back  at  that  time,  and  took 
Ha'zor,  and  smote  the  king  thereof  with  the  sword : 
for  Ha'zor  beforetime   was  the  head  of  all  those 

11  kingdoms.  And  they  smote  all  the  souls  that  were 
therein  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  ^utterly  destroy- 
ing them :  there  was  none  left  that  breathed :  and  ne 

12  burnt  Ha'zor  with  fire.  And  all  the  cities  of  those 
kings,  and  all  the  kings  of  them,  did  .Josh'u-a  take, 
and  he  smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and 
^utterly  destroyed  them;  as  Mo'ses  the  servant  of 

13  the  Lord  commanded.  But  as  for  the  cities  that 
stood  on  their  mounds,  I.s'ra-el  burned  none  of  them, 

14  save  Ha'zor  only ;  that  did  Josh'u-a  burn.  Aad  all 
the  spoil  of  these  cities,  and  the  cattle,  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  took  for  a  prey  unto  themselves ;  but  every 
man  they  smote  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  until 
they  had  destroyed  them,  neither  left  they  any  that 

15  breathed.  As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses  his 
servant,  so  did  Mo'ses  command  Josh'u-a:  and  so  did 
Josh'u-a ;  *he  left  nothing  undone  of  all  that  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses. 

16  So  Josh'u-a  took  all  that  land,  the  hill  country, 
and  all  the  South,  and  all  the  land  of  Go'shen,  and 
the  lowland,  and  the  Ar'a-bah,  and  the  hill  country 

17  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  lowland  of  the  same ;  from  'mount 
Ha'lak,  that  goeth  up  to  Se'ir,  even  unto  Ba'al-gad  in 
the  valley  of  Leb'a-non  under  mount  Her'mon :  and 
all  their  kings  he  took,  and  smote  them,  and  put 

18  them  to  death.     Josh'u-a  made  war  a  long  time  with 

19  all  those  kings.  There  was  not  a  city  that  made 
peace  with  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  save  the  Hi'vites 
the  inhabitants  of  Gib'e-on  :  they  took  all  in  battle. 

20  For  it  was  of  the  Lord  to  'harden  their  hearts,  to 
come  against  Is'ra-el  in  battle,  that  he  might  'utterly 
destroy  them,  that  they  *might  have  no  favour,  but 
that  he  might  destroy  them,  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Mos'es. 

21  And  Josh'u-a  came  at  that  time,  and  cut  off  the  An'- 
a-kim from  the  hill  country, from  He'bron, from  De'bir,

the  children  of  Is'ra-el  drave  not  out  the  Gesh'u-rites,

the  sea  of  Chin'ne-reth  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan  eastward. 

28  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of  Gad  after  their 
families,  the  cities,  and  their  villages. 

29  ^And  Mo'ses  gave  inheritance  unto  the  half  tribe  of 
Ma-nas'seh :  and  this  was  the  possession  of  the  half  tribe  of 
the  children  of  Ma-nas'seh  by  their  families. 

30  And  their  coast  was  from  Ma-ha-na'im,  all  Ba'shan,  all 
the  kingdom  of  Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  and  'all  the  towns  of 
Ja'ir,  -which  are  in  Ba'shan,  threescore  cities : 

31  And  half  Gil'e-ad,  and  'Ash'ta-roth,  and  Ed're-i,  cities  of 
the  kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba'shan,  were  pertaining  unto  the 
children  of  Ma'chir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh,  even  to  the  one 
half  of  the  "children  of  Ma'chir  by  their  families. 

32  These  are  the  countries  which  Mo'ses  did  distribute  for 
inheritance  in  the  plains  of  Mo'ab,  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan, 
by  Jer'i-cho,  eastward. 

33  "^But  unto  the  tribe  of  Le'vi,  Mo'ses  gave  not  any  in- 
heritance :  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  was  their  inheritance, 
"as  he  said  unto  them. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Caied  by  privilege  obtaineth   Hebron. 

AND  these  are  the  countries  which  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
inherited  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  "which  E-le-a'zar  the 
priest,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the  heads  of  the 
fathers  of  the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  distributed 
for  inheritance  to  them. 

2  ''By  lot  ?<ia.s  their  inheritance,  as  the  Lord  commanded  by 
the  hand  of  Mo'ses,  for  the  nine  tribes,  and /or  the  half  tribe. 

3  ''For  Mo'ses  had  given  the  inheritance  of  two  tribes  and 
a  half  tribe  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan :  but  unto  the  Le'vites 
he  gave  none  inheritance  among  them. 

4  For  ''the  children  of  Jo'seph  were  two  tribes,  Ma-nas'seh 
and  E'phra-im :  therefore  they  gave  no  part  unto  the  Le'vites 
in  the  land,  save  cities  to  dwell  in,  with  their  suburbs  for 
their  cattle  and  for  their  substance. 

5  'As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  so  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  did,  and  they  divided  the  land. 

6  ^Then  the  children  of  Ju'dah  came  unto  Josh'u-a  in  Gil'gal : 
and  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh  the  -^  Ken'ez-ite  said  unto 
him,Thouknowest  "the  thing  that  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo'ses 
the  man  of  God  concerning  me  and  thee  Hn  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a. 

7  Forty  years  old  was  I  when  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  'sent  me  from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a  to  espy  out  the  land ; 
and  I  brought  him  word  again  as  it  was  in  mine  heart. 

8  Nevertheless  *my  brethren  that  went  up  with  me  made 
the  heart  of  the  people  melt :  but  I  wholly  'followed  the 
Lord  my  God. 

9  And  Mo'ses  sware  on  that  day,  saying,  '"Surely  the  land 
"whereon  thy  feet  have  trodden  shall  be  thine  inheritance, 
and  thy  children's  for  ever,  because  thou  hast  wholly  fol- 
lowed the  Lord  ray  God. 

10  And  now,  behold,  the  Lord  hath  kept  me  alive,  "as  he 
said,  these  forty  and  five  years,  even  since  the  Lord  spake 
this  word  unto  Mo'ses,  while  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  fwan- 
dered  in  the  wilderness :  and  now,  lo,  I  am  this  day  four- 
score and  five  years  old. 

11  ''As  yet  I  am  as  strong  this  day  as  I  was  in  the  day 
that  Mo'ses  sent  me  :  as  my  strength  was  then,  even  so  is 
my  strength  now,  for  war,  both  'to  go  out,  and  to  come  in. 

12  Now  therefore  give  me  this  mountain,  whereof  the 
Lord  spake  in  that  day ;  for  thou  heardest  in  that  day 
how  ''the  An'a-kim  were  there,  and  that  the  cities  were  great 


and  half  the  land  of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  unto 

26  Ar'o-er  that  is  before  Rab'bah ;  and  from  Hesh'bon 
unto  Ra'math-miz'peh,  and  Bet'o-nim  ;  and  from  Ma- 

27  ha-na'im  unto  the  border  of  'De'bir;  and  in  the  valley, 
Beth-ha'ram,  and  Beth-nim'rah,  and  Suc'coth,  and 
Za'phon,  the  rest  of  the  kingdom  of  Si'hon  king  of 
Hesh'bon,  ^Jor'dan  and  the  border  thereof,  unto  the 
uttermost  part  of  the   sea  of  Chin'ne-reth   beyond 

28  Jor'dan  eastward.  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  Gad  according  to  their  families,  the  cities 
and  the  villages  thereof. 

29  And  Mo'ses  gave  inheritance  unto  the  half  tribe  of 
Ma-nas'seh :  and  it  was  for  the  half  tribe  of  the 
children  of  Ma-nas'seh  according  to  their  families. 

30  And  their  border  was  from  Ma-ha-na'im,  all  Ba'shan, 
all  the  kingdom  of  Og  king  of  Ba'shan,  and  all  Hhe 
towns  of  Ja'ir,  which  are  in  Ba'shan,  threescore  cities : 

31  and  half  Gil'e-ad,  and  Ash'ta-roth,  and  Ed're-i,  the  cities 
of  the  kingdom  of  Og  in  Ba'shan,were  for  the  children 
of  Ma'chir  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh,  even  for  the  half  of 
the  children  of  Ma'chir  according  to  their  families. 

32  These  are  the  inheritances  which  Mo'ses  distributed 
in  the  plains  of  Mo'ab,  beyond  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i- 

33  cho,  eastward.  But  unto  the  tribe  of  Le'vi  Mo'ses 
gave  none  inheritance :  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
is  their  inheritance,  as  he  spake  unto  them. 

I  *     And  these  are  the  inheritances  which  the  children 

of  Is'ra-el  took  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  which  E-le-a'zar 
the  priest,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the  heads 
of  the  fathers'  houses  of  the  tribes  of  the  children  of 

2  Is'ra-el,  distributed  unto  them,  by  the  lot  of  their  in- 
heritance, as  the  Lord  commanded  by  the  hand  of 
Mo'ses,  for  the  nine  tribes,  and  for  the   half  tribe. 

3  For  Mo'ses  had  given  the  inheritance  of  the  two 
tribes  and  the  half  tribe  beyond  Jor'dan  :  but  unto 
the  Le'vites  he  gave  none  inheritance  among  them 

4  For  the  children  of  Jo'seph  were  two  tribes,  Ma-nas'- 
seh and  E'phra-im :  and  they  gave  no  portion  unto 
the  Le'vites  in  the  land,  save  cities  to  dwell  in,  with 
the  ^suburbs  thereof  for  their  cattle  and  for  their  sub 

5  stance.  As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses,  so  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  did,  and  they  divided  the  land 

6  Then  the  children  of  Ju'dah  drew  nigh  unto  Josh'u-a 
in  Gil'gal:  and  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh  the 
Ken'iz-zite  said  unto  him,  Thou  knowest  the  thing 
that  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo'ses  the  man  of  God 
concerning   me   and    concerning   thee   in    Ka'desh 

7bar'ne-a.  Forty  years  old  was  I  when  Mo'ses  the 
servant  of  the  Lord  sent  me  from  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a 
to  spy  out  the  land ;  and  I  brought  him  word  again 

8  as  it  was  in  mine  heart.  Nevertheless  my  brethren 
that  went  up  with  me  made  the  heart  of  the  people 
melt:    but  I  wholly  followed  the   Lord   my  God. 

9  And  Mo'ses  sware  on  that  day,  saying,  Surely  the 
land  whereon  thy  foot  hath  trodden  shall  be  an  in 
heritance  to  thee  and  to  thy  children  for  ever,  be- 
cause thou  hast  wholly  followed  the  Lord  my  God 

10  And  now,  behold,  the  Lord  hath  kept  me  alive,  as 
he  spake,  these  forty  and  five  years,  from  the  time 
that  the  Lord  spake  this  word  unto  Mo'ses,  while 
Is'ra-el  walked  in  the  wilderness  :  and  now,  lo,  I  am 

II  this  day  fourscore  and  five  years  old.  As  yet  I  am 
as  strong  this  day  as  I  was  in  the  day  that  Mo'ses 
sent  me  :  as  my  strength  was  then,  even  so  is  my 
strength  now,  for  war,  and  to  go  out  and  to  come  in. 

12  Now  therefore  give  me  this  mountain,  whereof  the 
Lord  spake  in  that  day ;  for  thou  heardest  in  that 
day  how  the  An'a-kim  were  there,  and  cities  great

shall  be  able  to  drive  them  out,  as  the  Lobd  said. 

13  And  Josh'u-a  "blessed  him,  "and  gave  unto  Ca'leb  the 
son  of  Jephun'neh  He'bron  for  an  inheritance. 

14  "He'bron  therefore  became  the  inheritance  of  Ca'leb  the 
son  of  Je-phun'neh  the  Ken'ez-ite  unto  this  day ;  because  that 
he  'wholly  followed  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

15  And  ""the  name  of  He'bron  before  was  Kir'jath-ar'ba ; 
which  Ar'ba  was  a  great  man  among  the  An'a-kim.  'And 
the  land  had  rest  from  war. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

The  borders  oj  the  lot  o/Judah. 

"I  "HIS  then  was  the  lot  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of 
■*      Ju'dah  by  their  families ;  "even  to  the  border  of  E'dom 

the  ''wilderness  of  Zin  southward  was  the  uttermost  part  of 

the  south  coast. 

2  And  their  south  border  was  from  the  shore  of  the  salt 
sea,  from  the  fbay  that  looketh  southward : 

3  And  it  went  out  to  the  south  side  "to  1 1  Ma-al'eh-a-crab'bim, 
and  passed  along  to  Zin,  and  ascended  up  on  the  south  side 
unto  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a,  and  passed  along  to  Hez'ron,  and  went 
up  to  A'dar,  and  fetched  a  compass  to  Kar'ka-a. 

4  From  thence  it  passed  ''toward  Az'mon,  and  went  out 
unto  the  river  of  E'gypt :  and  the  goings  out  of  that  coast 
were  at  the  sea:  this  shall  be  your  south  coast. 

5  And  the  east  border  was  the  salt  sea,  even  unto  the  end 
of  Jor'dan.  And  their  border  in  the  north  quarter  was  from 
the  bay  of  the  sea,  at  the  uttermost  part  of  Jor'dan : 

6  And  the  border  went  up  to  *Beth-hog'la,  and  passed 
along  by  the  north  of  Beth-ar'a-bah ;  and  the  border  went 
up  -'^to  the  stone  of  Bo'han  the  son  of  Reu'ben  : 

7  And  the  border  went  up  toward  De'bir  from  "the  valley 
of  A'chor,  and  so  northward,  looking  toward  Gil'gal,  that  is 
before  the  going  up  to  A-dum'mim,  which  is  on  the  south 
side  of  the  river :  and  the  border  passed  toward  the  waters 
of  En-she'mesh,  and  the  goings  out  thereof  were  at  *En- 
ro'gel : 

8  And  the  border  went  up  "by  the  valley  of  the  son 
of  Hin'nom  unto  the  south  side  of  the  *Jeb'u-site ;  the 
same  is  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  the  border  went  up  to  the  top 
of  the  mountain  that  lieth  before  the  valley  of  Hin'nom 
westward,  which  is  at  the  end  'of  the  valley  of  the  giants 
northward : 

9  And  the  border  was  drawn  from  the  top  of  the  hill  unto 
"the  fountain  of  the  water  of  Neph'to-ah,  and  went  out  to 
the  cities  of  mount  E'phron  ;  and  the  border  was  drawn  "to 
Ba'al-ah,  which  is  "Kir'jath-je'a-rim  : 

10  And  the  border  compassed  from  Ba'al-ah  westward  unto 
mount  Se'ir,  and  passed  along  unto  the  side  of  mount  Je'a-rim 
(which  is  Ches'a-lon)  on  the  north  side,  and  went  down  to 
Beth-she'mesh,  and  passed  on  to  "Tim'nah : 

11  And  the  border  went  out  unto  the  side  of  'Ek'ron 
northward :  and  the  border  was  drawn  to  Shi'cron,  and 
passed  along  to  mount  Ba'al-ah,  and  went  out  unto  Jab'ne-el ; 
and  the  goings  out  of  the  border  were  at  the  sea. 

12  And  the  west  border  was  'to  the  great  sea,  and  the 
coast  thereof:  this  is  the  coast  of  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
round  about,  according  to  their  families. 

13  "d'And  unto  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh  he  gave  a 
part  among  the  children  of  Ju'dah,  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  to  Josh'u-a,  even  '||  the  city  of  Ar'ba 
the  father  of  A'nak,  which  city  is  He'bron. 

14  And  Ca'leb  drove  thence  "the  three  sons  of  A'nak, 
'She'shai  and  A-hi'man,  and  Tal'mai,  the  children  of  A'nak. 

15  And  "he  went  up  thence  to  the  inhabitants  of  De'bir: 
and  the  name  of  De'bir  before  was  Kir'jath-se'pher. 

16  H'And  Ca'leb  said.  He  that  smiteth^  Kir'jath-se'pher, 
and  taketh  it,  to  him  will  I  give  Ach'sah  my  daughter 
to  wife. 


and  fenced :  it  may  be  that  the  Lord  will  be  with 
me,  and  I  shall  drive  them  out,  as  the  Lord  spake. 

13  And  Josh'u-a  blessed  him ;  and  he  gave  He'bron  unto 
Ca'leb  the  son  of   Je-phun'neh  for  an  inheritance. 

14  Therefore  He'bron  became  the  inheritance  of  Ca'leb 
the  son  of  Je-phun'neh  the  Ken'iz-zite,  unto  this  day ; 
because  that  he  wholly  followed  the  Lord,  the  God 

15  of  Is'ra-el.  Now  the  name  of  He'bron  beforetime  was 
'Kir'i-ath-ar'ba ;  which  Ar'ba  was  the  greatest  man 
among  the  An'a-kim.  And  the  land  had  rest  from  Avar. 


15 


And  the  lot  for  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
according  to  their  families  was  unto  the  border  of 
E'dom,  even  to  the  wilderness  of  Zin   southward, 

2  at  the  uttermost  part  of  the  south.  And  their 
south  border  was  from  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
Salt   Sea,  from    the    ^bay    that  looked   southward 

3  and  it  went  out  southward  of  the  ascent  of  A-krab' 
bim,  and  passed  along  to  Zin,  and  went  up  by  the 
south  of  Ka'desh-bar'ne-a,  and  passed  along  by  Hez' 
ron,  and  went  up  to  Ad'dar,  and  turned  about  to 

4  Kar'ka :  and  it  passed  along  to  Az'mon,  and  went 
out  at  the  brook  of  E'gypt ;  and  the  goings  out  of 
the  border  were  at  the  sea :  this  shall  be  your  south 

5  border.  And  the  east  border  was  the  Salt  Sea,  even 
unto  the  end  of  Jor'dan.  And  the  border  of  the 
north  quarter  was  from  the  ^bay  of  the  sea  at  the 

6  end  of  Jor'dan :  and  the  border  went  up  to  Beth- 
hog'lah,  and  passed  along  by  the  north  of  Beth- 
ar'a-bah  ;  and  the  border  went  up  to  the   stone   of 

7  Bo'han  the  son  of  Reu'ben :  and  the  border  went 
up  to  De'bir  from  the  valley  of  A'chor,  and  so  north 
ward,  looking  toward  Gil'gal,  that  is  over  against  the 
ascent  of  A-dum'mim,  which  is  on  the  south  side  of 
the  river:  and  the  border  passed  along  to  the 
waters  of  En-she'mesh,  and  the  goings  out  thereof 

8  were  at  En-ro'gel :  and  the  border  went  up  by  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom  unto  the  'side  of  the 
Jeb'u-site  southward  (the  same  is  Je-ru'sa-lem)  :  and 
the  border  went  up  to  the  top  of  the  mountain  that 
lieth  before  the  valley  of  Hin'nom  westward,  which 
is  at  the  uttermost  part  of  the  vale  of  Reph'a-im 

9  northward :  and  the  border  was  drawn  from  the 
top  of  the  mountain  unto  the  fountain  of  the  waters 
of  Neph'to-ah,  and  went  out  to  the  cities  of  mount 
E'phron ;  and  the  border  was  drawn  to  Ba'al-ah  (the 

10  same  is  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim) :  and  the  border  turned 
about  from  Ba'al-ah  westward  unto  mount  Se'ir,  and 
passed  along  unto  the  side  of  mount  Je'a-rim  on  the 
north  (the  same  is  Ches'a-lon),  and  went  down  to 

1 1  Beth-she'mesh,  and  passed  along  by  Tim'nah  :  and 
the  border  went  out  unto  the  side  of  Ek'ron  north- 
ward :  and  the  border  was  drawn  to  Shik'ke-ron,and 
passed  along  to  mount  Ba'al-ah,  and  went  out  at  Jab'- 
ne-el ;  and  the  goings  out  of  the  border  were  at  the 

12  sea.  And  the  west  border  was  to  the  great  .sea,  and 
the  border  thereof.  This  is  the  border  of  the  children 
of  Ju'dah  round  about  according  to  their  families. 

13  And  unto  Ca'leb  the  son  of  Je-phun'neh  he  gave  a 
portion  among  the  children  of  Ju'dah,  according  to 
the  commandment  of  the  Lord  to  Josh'u-a,  even 
'Kir'i-ath-ar'ba,  which  Ar'ba  was  the  father  of  A'nak 

14  (the  same  is  He'bron).  And  Ca'leb  drove  out  thence 
the  three  sons  of  A'nak,  She'shai,  and  A-hi'man,  and 

15  Tal'mai,  the  children  of  A'nak.  And  he  went  up 
thence  against  the  inhabitants  of  De'bir:  now  the  name 

16  of  De'bir  beforetime  wasKir'i-ath-se'pher.  And  Ca'leb 
said.  He  that  smiteth  Kir'i-ath-se'pher,  a'nd  taketh 
it,  to  him  will  I  give  Ach'sah  my  daughter  to  wife.

63  ^As  for  the  Jeb'u-sites  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
"the  children  of  Ju'dah  could  not  drive  them  out :  "but  the 
Jeb'u-sites  dwell  with  the  children  of  Ju'dah  at  Je'ru-sa-lem 
unto  this  day. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

The  general  borders  of  the  sons  of  Joseph,  and  of  Ephraim. 

AND  the  lot  of  the  children  of  Jo'seph  ffell  from, 
Jor'dan  by  Jer'i-cho,  unto  the  water  of  Jer'i-cho  on  the 
east,  to  the  wilderness  that  goeth  up  from  Jer'i-cho  through- 
out mount  Beth'-el, 

2  And  goeth  out  from  Beth'-el  to  "Luz,  and  passeth  along 
unto  the  borders  of  Ar'chi  to  At'a-roth, 

3  And  goeth  down  westward  to  the  coast  of  Japh'le-ti,  ''unto 
the  coast  of  Beth-ho'ron  the  nether,  and  to  "Ge'zer :  and  the 
goings  out  thereof  are  at  the  sea. 

4  ''So  the  children  of  Jo'seph,  Ma-nas'seh  and  E'phra-im, 
took  their  inheritance. 

5  ^And  the  border  of  the  children  of  E'phra-im  according 
to  their  families  was  thus :  even  the  border  of  their  inherit- 
ance on  the  east  side  was  'At'a-roth -ad' dar,-^unto  Beth-ho'ron 
the  upper; 

6  And  the  border  went  out  toward  the  sea  to  'Mich'me-thah 
on  the  north  side ;  and  the  border  went  about  eastward 
unto  Ta'a-nath-shi'loh,  and  passed  by  it  on  the  east  to 
Ja-no'hah ; 

7  And  it  went  down  from  Ja-no'hah  to  At'a-roth,  *and  to 
Na'a-rath,  and  came  to  Jer'i-cho,  and  went  out  at  Jor'dan. 

8  The  border  went  out  from  Tap'pu-ah  westward  unto  the 
'river  Ka'nah ;  and  the  goings  out  thereof  were  at  the  sea. 
This  is  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of 
E'phra-im  by  their  families. 

9  And  *the  separate  cities  for  the  children  of  E'phra-im  were 
among  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of  Ma-nas'seh,  all  the 
cities  with  their  villages. 

10  'And  they  drave  not  out  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwelt  in 
Ge'zer ;  but  the  Ca'naan-ites  dwell  among  the  E'phra-im-ites 
unto  this  day;  and  serve  under  tribute. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

The  lot  of  Manasseh—The  children  of  Joseph  obtain  another  lot. 

THERE  was  also  a  lot  for  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  ;  for  he 
was  the  "firstborn  of  Jo'.seph ;  to  wit,  for  ''Ma'chir  the  first- 
born of  Ma-nas'seh,  the  father  of  Gil'e-ad  :  because  he  was  a 
man  of  war,  therefore  he  had  "Gil'e-ad  and  Ba'shan. 

2  There  was  also  a  lot  for  ""the  rest  of  the  children  of 
Ma-nas'seh  by  their  families ;  'for  the  children  of  ||  A-bi-e'zer, 
and  for  the  children  of  He'lek,  .^and  for  the  children  of 
As'ri-el,  and  for  the  children  of  She'chem,  "and  for  the  chil- 
dren of  He'pher,  and  for  the  children  of  She-mi'da :  these 
were  the  male  children  of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  Jo'seph  by 
their  families. 

3  1[But*Ze-lo'phe-had,thesonofHe'pher,the  son  of  Gil'e-ad, 
the  son  of  Ma'cnir,  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh,  had  no  sons,  but 
daughters :  and  these  are  the  names  of  his  daughters,  Mah'- 
lah,  and  No'ah,  Hog'lah,  Mil'cah,  and  Tir'zah. 

4  And  they  came  near  before  *E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and  be- 
fore Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  before  the  jDrinces,  saying, 
*The  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses  to  give  us  an  inheritance 
among  our  brethren.  Therefore  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord,  he  gave  them  an  inheritance  among  the 
brethren  of  their  father. 

5  And  there  fell  ten  portions  to  Ma-nas'seh,  besides  the 
land  of  Gil'e-ad  and  Ba  shan,  which  were  on  the  other  side 
Jor'dan ; 

6  Because  the  daughters  of  Ma-nas'seh  had  an  inheritance 
among  his  sons :  and  the  rest  of  Ma-nas'seh's  sons  had  the 
land  of  Gil'e-ad. 

7  ^  And  the  coast  of  Ma-nas'seh  was  from  Ash'er  to  'Mich'- 
me-thah,  that  lieth  before  She'chem ;  and  the  border  went 
along  on  the  right  hand  unto  the  inhabitants  of  En-tap' pu-ah. 


63  And  as  for  the  Jeb'u-sites,  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, the  children  of  Ju'dah  could  not  drive  them 
out :  but  the  Jeb'u-sites  dwelt  with  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  unto  this  day. 

iO  And  the  lot  for  the  children  of  Jo'seph  went  out 
from  the  Jor'dan  at  Jer'i-cho,  at  the  waters  of  Jer'i-cho 
on   the   east,  even   the  wilderness,  going  up   from 

2  Jer'i-cho  through  the  hill  country  to  Beth'-el ;  and  it 
went   out  from  Beth'-el  to  Luz,  and  passed  along 

3  unto  the  border  of  the  Ar'chites  to  At'a-roth  ;  and  it 
went  down  westward  to  the  border  of  the  Japh'le-tites, 
unto  the  border  of  Beth-ho'ron  the  nether,  even  unto 
Ge'zer :  and  the  goings  out  thereof  were  at  the  sea, 

4AndthechildrenofJo'seph,Ma-nas'sehandE'phra-im, 

5  took  their  inheritance.  And  the  border  of  the  chil 
dren  of  E'phra-im  according  to  their  families  was 
thus  :  even  the  border  of  their  inheritance  eastward 
was  At'a-roth-ad'dar,  unto  Beth-ho'ron  the  upper ; 

6  and  the  border  went  out  westward  at  Mich'me-thath 
on  the  north  ;  and  the  border  turned  about  eastward 
unto  Ta'a-nath-shi'loh,  and  passed  along  it  on  the 

7  east  of  Ja-no'ah  ;  and  it  went  down  from  Ja-no'ah  to 
At'a-roth,  and  to  Na'a-rah,  and  reached  unto  Jer'i-cho, 

8  and  went  out  at  Jor'dan.  From  Tap'pu-ah  the  border 
went  along  westward  to  the  brook  of  Ka'nah  ;  and 
the  goings  out  thereof  were  at  the  sea.  This  is  the 
inheritance  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  E'phra-im 

9  according  to  their  families ;  together  with  the  cities 
which  were  separated  for  the  children  of  E'phra-im 
in  the  midst  of  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of 

10  Ma-nas'seh,  all  the  cities  with  their  villages.  And 
they  drave  not  out  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwelt  in 
Ge'zer :  but  the  Ca'naan-ites  dwelt  in  the  midst  of 
E'phra-im,  unto  this  day,  and  became  servants  to  do 
taskwork. 

J-  ♦  And  this  was  the  lot  for  the  tribe  of  Ma'nas-seh ; 
for  he  was  the  firstborn  of  Jo'seph.  As  for  Ma'chir 
the  firstborn  of  Ma-nas'seh,  the  father  of  Gil'e-ad, 
because   he   was  a  man   of  war,  therefore   he  had 

2  Gil'e-ad  and  Ba'shan.  And  the  lot  was  for  the  rest 
of  the  children  of  Ma-nas'seh  according  to  their 
families ;  for  the  children  of  A-bi-e'zer,  and  for  the 
children  of  He'lek,  and  for  the  children  of  As'ri-el, 
and  for  the  children  of  She'chem,  and  for  the  children 
of  He'pher,  and  for  the  children  of  She-mi'da :  these 
were  the  male  children  of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of 

3  Jo'seph  according  to  their  families.  But  Ze-lo'phe-had, 
the  son  of  He'pher,  the  son  of  Gil'e-ad,  the  son  of 
Ma'chir,  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh,  had  no  sons,  but 
daughters :  and  these  are  the  names  of  his  daughters, 
Mah'lah,  and  No'ah,  Hog'lah,  Mil'cah,  and  Tir'zah. 

4  And  they  came  near  before  E-Ie-a'zar  the  priest,  and 
before  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  before  the  princes, 
saying.  The  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses  to  give  us  an 
inheritance  among  our  brethren  :  therefore  according 
to  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  he  gave  them  an 

5  inheritance  among  the  brethren  of  their  father.  And 
there  fell  ten  '])arts  to  Ma-nas'seh,  beside  the  land  of 

6  Gil'e-ad  and  Ba'shan,  which  is  beyond  Jor'dan;  because 
the  daughters  of  Ma-nas'seh  had  an  inheritance  among 
his  sons :  and  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad  belonged  unto  the 

7  rest  of  the  sons  of  Ma-nas'seh.  And  the  border  of 
Ma-nas'seh  was  from  As'her  to  Mich'me-thath,  which 
is  before  She'chem  ;  and  the  border  went  along  to 
the  right  hand,  unto  the  inhabitants  of  En-tap'pu-ah.

8  Nme  Ma-nas'seh  had  the  land  of  Tap'pa-ah :  but  "Tap'- 
pu-ah  on  the  border  of  Ma-nas'seh  belonged  to  the  children 
of  E'phra-im ; 

9  And  the  coast  descended  "unto  the  1|  river  Ka'nah,  south- 
ward of  the  river  t  "these  cities  of  E'phra-im  ai'e  among  the 
cities  of  Ma-nas'seii :  the  coast  of  Ma-nas'seh  also  was  on 
the  north  side  of  the  river,  and  the  outgoings  of  it  were  at 
the  sea: 

10  Southward  it  was  E'phra-im's,  and  northward  it  was 
Ma-nas'seh's,  and  the  sea  is  his  border ;  and  they  met  to- 
gether in  Ash'er  on  the  north,  and  in  Is'sa-char  on  the  east. 

11  "And  Ma-nas'seh  had  in  Is'sa-char  and  in  Ash'er  «Beth- 
she'an  and  her  towns,  and  Ib'le-ara  and  her  towns,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Dor  and  her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
En'-dor  and  her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of  Ta'a-nach  and 
her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of  Me-gid'do  and  her  towns, 
even  three  countries. 

12  Yet  ''the  children  of  Ma-nas'seh  could  not  drive  out  the 
inhabitants  of  those  cities;  but  the  Ca'naan-ites  would  dwell 
in  that  land. 

13  Yet  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were 
waxen  strong,  that  they  put  the  Ca'naan-ites  to  tribute ;  but 
did  not  utterly  drive  them  out. 

14  'And  the  children  of  Jo'seph  spake  unto  Josh'u-a,  say- 
ing, Why  hast  thou  given  me  but  "one  lot  and  one  portion 
to  inherit,  seeing  I  am  "a  great  people,  forasmuch  as  the 
Lord  hath  blessed  me  hitherto? 

15  And  Josh'u-a  answered  them.  If  thou  be  a  great  people, 
then  get  thee  up  to  the  wood  country,  and  cut  down  for 
thyself  there  in  the  land  of  the  Per'iz-zites  and  of  the 
II  giants,  if  mount  E'phra-im  be  too  narrow  for  thee. 

16  And  the  children  of  Jo'seph  said,  The  hill  is  not 
enough  for  us :  and  all  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwell  in  the 
land  of  the  valley  have  "chariots  of  iron,  both  they  who  are 
of  Beth-she'an  and  her  towns,  and  they  who  are  'of  the 
valley  of  Jez're-el. 

17  And  Josh'u-a  spake  unto  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  even  to 
E'phra-im  and  to  Ma-nas'seh,  saying.  Thou  art  a  great  people, 
and  hast  great  power:  thou  shalt  not  have  one  lot  only: 

18  But  the  mountain  shall  be  thine;  for  it  is  a  wood,  and 
thou  shalt  cut  it  down :  and  the  outgoings  of  it  shall  be 
thine:  for  thou  shalt  drive  out  the  Ca'naan-ites,  "though 
they  have  iron  chariots,  and  though  they  be  strong. 

CHAPTER    XVIII. 

The  tabernacU  is  set  up  — The-  remainder  of  the  land  is  described. 

AND  the  whole  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
assembled  together  "at  Shi'loh,  and  ""set  up  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation  there :  and  the  land  was  subdued 
before  them. 

2  And  there  remained  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  seven 
tribes,  which  had  not  yet  received  their  inheritance. 

3  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "How 
long  are  ye  slack  to  go  to  possess  the  land,  which  the  Lord 
Goc*  Df  your  fathers  hath  given  you  ? 

4  Give  out  from  among  you  three  men  for  each  tribe :  and 
I  will  send  them,  and  they  shall  rise,  and  go  through  the 
land,  and  describe  it  according  to  the  inheritance  of  them ; 
and  they  shall  come  again  to  me. 

5  And  they  shall  divide  it  into  seven  parts:  ''Ju'dah  shall 
abide  in  their  coast  on  the  south,  and  'the  house  of  Jo'seph 
shall  abide  in  their  coasts  on  the  north. 

6  Ye  shall  therefore  describe  the  land  into  seven  parts, 
and  bring  the  description  hither  to  me,  -^that  I  may  cast  lots 
for  you  here  before  the  Lord  our  God. 

7  "But  the  Le'vites  have  no  part  among  you ;  for  the 
priesthood  of  the  Lord  is  their  inheritance :  ''and  Gad,  and 
Ileu'ben,  and  half  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  have  received 
their  inheritance^beyond  Jor'dan  on  the  east,  which  Mo'ses 
the  servant  of  the  Lord  gave  them. 


8  The  land  of  Tap'pu-ah  belonged  to  Ma-n»»fl'seh  :  but 
Tap'pu-ah  on  the  border  of  Ma-nas'seh  belonged  to 

9  the  children  of  E'phra-im.  And  the  border  went 
down  unto  the  brook  of  Ka'nah,  southward  of  the 
brook :  these  cities  belonged  to  E'phra-im  among  the 
cities  of  Ma-nas'seh :  and  the  border  of  Ma-nas'seh 
was  on  the  north  side  of  the  brook,  and  the  goings 

10 out  thereof  were  at  the  sea:  southward  it  was 
E'phra-im's,  and  northward  it  was  Ma-nas'seh's,  and 
the  sea  was  his  border ;  and  they  reached  to  Ash'er 

11  on  the  north,  and  to  Is'sa-char  on  the  east.  And  Ma- 
nas'seh  had  in  Is'sa-char  and  in  Ash'er  Beth-she'an 
and  her  'towns,  and  Ib'le-am  and  her  towns,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Dor  and  her  towns,  and  the  inhab- 
itants of  En'-dor  and  her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants 
of  Ta'a-nach  and  her  towns,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
Me-gid'do  and  her  towns,  even  the  three  ^heights. 

12  Yet  the  children  of  Ma-nas'seh  could  not  drive  out 
the  inhabitants  of  those  cities ;   but  the  Ca'naan-ites 

13  would  dwell  in  that  land.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  waxen  strong,  that 
they  put  the  Ca'naan-ites  to  taskwork,  and  did  not 
utterly  drive  them  out. 

14  And  the  children  of  Jo'seph  spake  unto  Josh'u-a, 
saying,  Why  hast  thou  given  me  but  one  lot  and 
one  ^part  for  an  inheritance,  seeing  I  am  a  great 
people,  forasmuch  as  hitherto  the  Lord  hath  blessed 

15  me  ?  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  them.  If  thou  be  a  great 
people,  get  thee  up  to  the  forest,  and  cut  down  for 
thyself  there  in  the  land  of  the  Per'iz-zites  and  of  the 
Reph'a-im ;  since  the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im  is  too 

16  narrow  for  thee.  And  the  children  of  Jo'seph  said, 
The  hill  country  *is  not  enough  for  us :  and  all  the 
Ca'naan-ites  that  dwell  in  the  land  of  the  valley  have 
chariots  of  iron,  both  they  who  are  in  Beth-she'an 
and  her  towns,  and  they  who  are  in  the  valley  of 

17  Jez're-el.  And  Josh'u-a  spake  unto  the  house  of 
Jo'seph,  even  to  E'phra-im  and  to  Ma-nas'seh,  saying. 
Thou  art  a  great  people,  and  hast  great  power :  thou 

18  shalt  not  have  one  lot  only :  but  the  hill  country 
shall  be  thine  ;  for  though  it  is  a  forest,  thou  shalt  cut 
it  down,  and  the  goings  out  thereof  shall  be  thine  : 
for  thou  shalt  drive  out  the  Ca-naan-ites,  though  they 
have  chariots  of  iron,  and  though  they  be  strong. 

J-Q  And  the  whole  congregation  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  assembled  themselves  together  at  Shi'loh,  and 
set  up  the  tent  of  meeting  there :  and  the  land  was 

2  subdued  before  them.  And  there  remained  among 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  seven  tribes,  which  had  not 

3  yet  divided  their  inheritance.  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  How  long  are  ye  slack  to  go 
in  to  possess  the  land,  which  the  Lord,  the  God  of 

4  your  fathers,  hath  given  you  ?  Appoint  for  you 
three  men  for  each  tribe  :  and  I  will  send  them,  and 
they  shall  arise,  and  walk  through  the  land,  and 
describe  it  according  to  their  inheritance ;  and  they 

5  shall  come  unto  me.  And  they  shall  divide  it  into 
seven  portions  :  Ju'dah  shall  abide  in  his  border  on 
the  south,  and  the  house  of  Jo'seph  shall  abide  in 

6  their  border  on  the  north.  And  ye  shall  describe 
the  land  into  seven  portions,  and  bring  the  descrip- 
tion  hither   to    me :    and    I  will  cast   lots  for  you 

7  here  before  the  Lord  our  God.  For  the  Le'vites 
have  no  portion  among  you ;  for  the  priesthood 
of  the  Lord  is  their  inheritance :  and  Gad  and 
Ileu'ben  and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  have  re- 
ceived their  inheritance  beyond  Jor'dan  eastward, 
which  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  gave  them.

8  ^And  the  men  arose,  and  went  away :  and  Josh'u-a 
charged  them  that  went  to  describe  the  land,  saying,  Go, 
and  walk  through  the  land,  and  describe  it,  and  come  again 
to  me,  that  I  may  here  cast  lots  for  you  before  the  Lord  in 
Shi'loh. 

9  And  the  men  went  and  passed  through  the  land,  and 
described  it  by  cities  into  seven  parts  in  a  book,  and  came 
again  to  Josh'u-a  to  the  host  at  Shi'loh. 

10  ^And  Josh'u-a  cast  lots  for  them  in  Shi'loh  before  the 
Lord  :  and  there  Josh'u-a  divided  the  land  unto  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  according  to  their  divisions. 

11  "[[And  the  lot  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min 
came  up  according  to  their  families :  and  the  coast  of  their 
lot  came  forth  between  the  children  of  Ju'dah  and  the 
children  of  Jo'seph. 

12  'And  their  border  on  the  north  side  was  from  Jor'dan; 
and  the  border  went  up  to  the  side  of  Jer'i-cho  on  the  north 
side,  and  went  up  through  the  mountains  westward :  and  the 
goings  out  thereof  were  at  the  wilderness  of  Beth-a'ven. 

13  And  the  border  went  over  from  thence  toward  Luz, 
to  the  side  of  Luz,  *which  is  Beth'^1  southward ;  and  the 
border  descended  to  At'a-roth-a'dar,  near  the  hill  that  lieth 
on  the  south  side  'of  the  nether  Beth-ho'ron. 

14  And  the  border  was  drawn  thence,  and  compassed  the 
corner  of  the  sea  southward,  from  the  hill  that  lieth  before 
Beth-ho'ron  southward ;  and  the  goings  out  thereof  were  at 

Kir'jath-ba'al,  which  is  Kir'jath-je'a-rim,  a  city  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ju'dah :     this   was  the  west  quarter. 

15  And  the  south  quarter  was  from  the  end  of  Kir'jath- 
je'a-rim,  and  the  border  went  out  on  the  west,  and  went  out 
to  "the  well  of  waters  of  Neph'to-ah  : 

16  And  the  border  came  down  to  the  end  of  the  mountain 
that  lieth  before  "the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  and  which 
is  in  the  valley  of  the  giants  on  the  north,  and  descended 
to  the  valley  of  Hin'nom,  to  the  side  of  Je-bu'si  on  the  south, 
and  descended  to  "En-ro'gel, 

17  And  was  drawn  from  the  north,  and  went  forth  to  En- 
she'mesh,  and  went  forth  toward  Gel'i-loth,  which  is  over 
against  the  going  up  of  A-dum'mim,  and  descended  to  'the 
stone  of  Bo'han  the  son  of  Reu'ben, 

18  And  passed  along  toward  the  side  over  against 'H  Ar'a- 
bah  northward,  and  went  down  unto  Ar'a-bah  : 

19  And  the  border  passed  along  to  the  side  of  Beth- 
hog'iah  northward :  and  the  outgoings  of  the  border  were 
at  the  north  fbay  of  the  salt  sea  at  the  south  end  of  Jor'dan : 
this  was  the  south  coast. 

20  And  Jor'dan  was  the  border  of  it  on  the  east  side. 
This  was  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min,  by  the 
coasts  thereof  round  about,  according  to  their  families. 

21  Now  the  cities  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min 
according  to  their  families,  were  Jer'i-cho,  and  Beth-hog'lah, 
and  the  valley  of  Ke'ziz, 

22  And  Beth-ar'a-bah,  and  Zem-a-ra'im,  and  Beth'-el, 

23  And  A'vim,  and  Pa'rah,  and  Oph'rah, 

24  And  Che'phar-ha-am'mo-nai,  and  Oph'ni,  and  Ga'ba; 
twelve  cities  with  their  villages : 

25  Gib'e-on,  and  Ra'mah,  and  Be-e'roth, 

26  And  Miz'peh,  and  Che-phi'rah,  and  Mo'zah, 

27  And  Re'kem,  and  Ir'pe-el,  and  Tar'a-lah, 

28  And  Ze'Iah,  E'leph,  and  'Je-bu'si,  which  is  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
Gib'e-ath,  and  Kir'jath;  fourteen  cities  with  their  villages. 
This  is  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  accord- 
ing to  their  families. 

CHAPTER  XIX. 

Tkf  children  of  Israel  give  an  inheritance  to  Joshua. 

AND  the  second  lot  came  forth  to  Sim'e-on,  even  for  the 
tribe  of  the  children  of  Sim'e-on  according  to  their 
families :  "and  their  inheritance  was  within  the  inheritance 
of  the  children  of  Ju'dah. 


8  And  the  men  arose,  and  went :  and  Josh'u-a  charged 
them  that  went  to  describe  the  land,  saying.  Go  and 
walk  through  the  land,  and  describe  it,  and  come 
again  to  me,  and  I  will  cast  lots  for  you  here  before 

9  the  Lord  in  Shi'loh.  And  the  men  went  and  passed 
through  the  land,  and  described  it  by  cities  into 
seven  portions  in  a  book,  and  they  came  to  Josh'u-a 

10  unto  the  camp  at  Shi'loh.  And  Josh'u-a  ca.st  lots  for 
them  in  Shi'loh  before  the  Lord  :  and  there  Josh'u-a 
divided  the  land  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  accord- 
ing to  their  divisions. 

11  And  the  lot  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ben'- 
ja-min came  up  according  to  their  families :  and  the 
border  of  their  lot  went  out  between  the  children  of 

12  Ju'dah  and  the  children  of  Jo'seph.  And  their  bor 
der  on  the  north  quarter  was  from  Jor'dan ;  and  the 
border  went  up  to  the  'side  of  Jer'i-cho  on  the  north, 
and  went  up  through  the  hill  country  westward; 
and  the  goings  out  thereof  were  at  the  wilderness 

13  of  Beth-a'ven.  And  the  border  passed  along  from 
thence  to  Luz,  to  the  'side  of  Luz  (the  same  is 
Beth'-el), southward;  and  the  border  went  down  to 
At'a-roth-ad'dar,  by  the  mountain  that  lieth  on  the 

14  south  of  Beth-ho'ron  the  nether.  And  the  border 
was  drawn  and  turned  about  on  the  west  quarter 
southward,  from  the  mountain  that  lieth  before 
Beth-ho'ron  southward ;  and  the  goings  out  thereof 
were  at  Kir' i-ath-ba'al  (the  same  is  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim), 
a  city  of  the  children  of  Ju'dah ;  this  was  the  west 

15  quarter.  And  the  south  quarter  was  from  the  utter- 
most part  of  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim,  and  the  border  went  out 
westward,  and  went  out  to  the  fountain  of  the  waters 

16 of  Neph'to-ah:  and  the  border  went  down  to  the 
uttermost  part  of  the  mountain  that  lieth  before  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  which  is  in  the  vale  of 
Reph'a-im  northward ;  and  it  went  down  to  the  val 
ley  of  Hin'nom,  to  the  side  of  the  Jeb'u-site  south- 

17 ward,  and  went  down  to  En-ro'gel;  and  it  was 
drawn  on  the  north,  and  went  out  at  En-she'mesh, 
and  went  out  to  Gel'i-loth,  which  is  over  against  the 
ascent  of  A-dum'mim ;  and  it  went  down  to  the  stone 

18  of  Bo'han  the  son  of  Reu'ben ;  and  it  passed  along 
to  the  .side  over  against  the  Ar'a-bah  northward,  and 

19  went  down  unto  the  Ar'a-bah  :  and  the  border  passed 
along  to  the  side  of  Beth-hog'lah  northward:  and 
the  goings  out  of  the  border  were  at  the  north  ^bay 
of  the  Salt  Sea,  at  the  south   end  of  Jor'dan :  this 

20  was  the  south  border.  And  Jor'dan  was  the  border 
of  it  on  the  east  quarter.  This  was  the  inheritance 
of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min,  by  the  borders  thereof 

21  round  about,  according  to  their  families.  Now  the 
cities  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  ac 
cording  to  their  families  were  Jer'i-cho,  and  Beth- 

22hog'lah,  and  E'mek-ke'ziz ;  and  Beth-ar'a-bah,  and 
23 Zem-a-ra'im,  and  Beth'-el:  and  Av'vim,  and  Pa'rah, 
24  and  Oph'rah ;  and  Che'phar-am'mo-ni,  and  Oph'ni,

with  their  villages.  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  Ben'ja-min  according  to  their  families.

And  the  second  lot  came  out  for  Sim'e-on,  even  for 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Sim'e-on  according  to

of  Ju'dah  was  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of 
Sim'e-on :  for  the  portion  of  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
was  too  much  for  them:  therefore  the  children

inheritance. 

10  And  the  third  lot  came  up  for  the  children  of 
Zeb'u-lun  accorr ling  to  their  families :  and  the  border

40  ^And  the  seventh  lot  came  out  for  the  tribe  of  the

47  And  'the  coast  of  the  children  of  Dan  went  out  too 
little  for  them :  therefore  the  children  of  Dan  went  up  to 
fight  against  Le'shem,  and  took  it,  and  smote  it  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  and  possessed  it,  and  dwelt  therein,  and 
called  Le'shem,  'Dan,  after  the  name  of  Dan  their  father. 

48  This  is  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Dan

49  ^When  they  had  made  an  end  of  dividing  the  land  for 
inheritance  by  their  coasts,  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  gave  an 
inheritance  to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun  among  them : 

50  According  to  the  word  of  the  Lord  they  gave  him 
the  city  which  he  asked,  even  "'Tim'nath-"se'rah  in  mount 
E'phra-im :  and  he  built  the  city,  and  dwelt  therein. 

51  "These  are  the  inheritances  which  E-le-a'zar  the  priest, 
and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the  heads  of  the  fathers  of

nacle of  the  congregation.  So  they  made  an  end  of  divid- 
ing the  country. 

CHAPTER   XX. 

God  commandethjhe  six  cities  of  refuge  to  be  appointed. 

THE  Lord  also  spake  unto  Josh'u-a,  saying, 
2  Speak  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  "Appoint  out 
for  you  cities  of  refuge,  whereof  I  spake  unto  you  by  the 
hand  of  Mo'ses : 

3  That  the  slayer  that  killeth  any  person  unawares  and 
unwittingly,  may  flee  thither ;  and  they  shall  be  your  refuge 
from  the  avenger  of  blood. 

4  And  when  he  that  doth  flee  unto  one  of  those  cities  shall 
stand  at  the  entering  of  Hhe  gate  of  the  city,  and  shall  de- 
clare his  cause  in  the  ears  of  the  elders  of  that  city,  they 
shall  take  him  into  the  city  unto  them,  and  give  him  a 
place,  that  he  may  dwell  among  them. 

5  'And  if  the  avenger  of  blood  pursue  after  him,  then  they 
shall  not  deliver  the  slayer  up  into  his  hand ;  because  he 
smote  his  neighbour  unwittingly,  and  hated  him  not  before- 
time. 

6  And  he  shall  dwell  in  that  city,  ""until  he  stand  before 
the  congregation  for  judgment,  and  until  the  death  of 
the  high  priest  that  shall  be  in  those  days :  then  shall  the 
slayer  return,  and  come  unto  his  own  city,  and  unto  his  own 
house,  unto  the  city  from  whence  he  fled. 


32  The  sixth  lot  came  out  for  the  children  of  Naph'- 
ta-li,  even  for  the  children  of  Naph'ta-li  according  to 

33  their  families.  And  their  border  was  from  He'leph, 
from  the  'oak  in  Za'a-nan'nim,  and  Ad'a-mi-ne'keb,  and 
Jab'ne-el,  unto  Lak'kum ;  and  the  goings  out  thereof 

34  were  at  Jor'dan  :  and  the  border  turned  westward  to 
Az'noth-ta'bor,  and  went  out  from  thence  to  Huk'- 
kok ;  and  it  reached  to  Zeb'u-lun  on  the  south,  and 
reached  to  Ash'er  on  the  west,  and  to  Ju'dah  at  Jor'- 

35  dan  toward  the  sunrising.  And  the  fenced  cities 
were  Zid'dim,  Zer,  and  Ham'math,  Rak'kath,  and 

36  Chin'ne-reth;  and  Ad'a-mah,  and  Ra'mah,  and  Ha'zor; 
3^  and  Ke'desh,  and  Ed're-i,  and  En-ha'zor  ;  and  I'ron, 

and  Mig'dal-el,  Ho'rem,  and  Beth-a'nath,  and  Beth- 

39  she'mesh  ;  nineteen  cities  with  their  villages.  This 
is  the  inheritance  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of 
Naph'ta-li  according  to  their  families,  the  cities  with 
their  villages. 

40  The  seventh  lot  came  out   for  the  tribe   of  the 

41  children  of  Dan  according  to  their  families.  And  the 
border  of  their  inheritance  was  Zo'rah,  and  E.sh'ta-oI, 

42  and  Ir-she'mesh ;  and  Sha-al-ab'bin,  and  Ai'ja-lon, 

43  and  Ith'lah ;  and  E'lon,  and  Tim'nah,  and  Ek'ron; 
J^and  El'te-keh,  and  Gib'be-thon,  and  Ba'al-ath;  and 

46  Je'hud,  and  Ben'e-be'rak,  and  Gath-rim'mon ;  and  Me- 
jar'kon,  and  Rak'kon,  with  the  border  over  against 

47  ^Jop'pa.  And  the  border  of  the  children  of  Dan  went 
out  'beyond  them  :  for  the  children  of  Dan  went  up 
and  fought  against  ^Le'shem,  and  took  it,  and  smote 
it  with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  possessed  it,  and 
dwelt  therein,  and  called   Le'shem,  Dan,  after   the 

48  name  of  Dan  their  father.  This  is  the  inheritance 
of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Dan  according  to  their 
families,  these  cities  with  their  villages. 

49  So  they  made  an  end  of  distributing  the  land  for 
inheritance  by  the  borders  thereof;  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  gave  an  inheritance  to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of 

50  Nun  in  the  midst  of  them :  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord  they  gave  him  the  city  which 
he  asked,  even  Tim'nath-se'rah  in  the  hill  country  of 
E'phra-im :  and  he  built  the  city  and  dwelt  therein. 

51  These  are  thp  inheritances,  which  E-le-a'zar  the 
priest,  and  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  and  the  heads  of 
the  fathers'  houses  of  the  tribes  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  distributed  for  inheritance  by  lot  in  Shi'loh 
before  the  Lord,  at  the  door  of  the  tent  of  meeting. 
So  they  made  an  end  of  dividing  the  land. 

^v    And    the    Lord    spake    unto    Josh'u-a,    saying, 

2  Speak   to   the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  Assign 

you  the  cities  of  refuge,  whereof  I  spake  unto  you 

3 by  the  band   of  Mo'ses:   that  the   manslayer  that 

killeth  any  person  ^unwittingly  and  unawares   may 

flee  thither :  and  they  shall  be  unto  you  for  a  refuge 

4  from  the  avenger  of  blood.  And  he  shall  flee  unto 
one  of  those  cities,  and  shall  stand  at  the  entering  of 
the  gate  of  the  city,  and  declare  his  cause  in  the 
ears  of  the  elders  of  that  city ;  and  they  shall  *take 
him  into  the  city  unto  them,  and  give  him  a  place, 

5  that  he  may  dwell  among  them.  And  if  the  aven- 
ger of  blood  pursue  after  him,  then  they  shall  not 
deliver  up  the  manslayer  into  his  hand  ;  because 
he  smote  his  neighbour   unawares,  and  hated  him 

6  not  beforetime.  And  he  shall  dwell  in  that  city, 
until  he  stand  before  the  congregation  for  judge- 
ment, until  the  death  of  the  high  priest  that  shall 
be  in  those  days :  then  shall  the  manslayer  re- 
turn, aud  come  unto  his  own  city,  and  unto  his 
own   house,  unto  the   city   from   whence    he    fled.

2  And  they  spake  unto  them  at'Shi'loh  in  the  land  ofCa'naan,

The  Lord  commanded  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses  to 
give  us  cities  to  dwell  in,  with  the  'suburbs  thereof 

3  for  our  cattle.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  gave  unto 
the  Le'vites  out  of  their  inheritance,  according  to  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord,  these  cities  with  their 
suburbs. 

4  And  the  lot  came  out  for  the  families  of  the  Ko'- 
hathntes:  and  the  children  of  Aa'ron  the  priest 
Avhich  were  of  the  Le'vites,  had  by  lot  out  of  the

ites,  and  out  of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min,  thirteen  cities 

5  And  the  rest  of  the  children  of  Ko'hath  had  by  lot

6  And  the  children  of  Ger'shon  had  by  lot  out  of

7  The  children  of  Mer'a-ri  according  to  their  families 
had  out  of  the  tribe  of  Reu'ben,  ana  out  of  the  tribe

8  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  gave  by  lot  unto  the 
Le'vites  these  cities  with  their  suburbs,  as  the  Lord 

9  commanded  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses.  And  they  gave 
out  of  the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Ju'dah,  and  out  of 
the  tribe  of  the  children  of  Sim'e-on,  these  cities  which 

10 are  here  mentioned  by  name:  and  they  were  for  the 
children  of  Aa'ron,  of  the  families  of  the  Ko'hath-ites, 
who  were  of  the  children  of  Le'vi :  for  theirs  was  the 

11  first  lot.  And  they  gave  them  Kir'i-ath-arba,  which 
Ar'ba  was  the  fether  of  ^A'nak,  (the  same  is  He'bron,) 
in  the  hill  country  of  Ju'dah,  with  the  suburbs  there- 

12  of  round  about  it.  But  the  fields  of  the  city,  and 
the  villages  thereof,  gave  they  to  Ca'leb  the  son  cf 
Je-phun'neh  for  his  possession. 

13  And  unto  the  children  of  Aa'ron  the  priest  they 
gave  He'bron  with  her  suburbs,  the  city  of  refuge  for

Le'vites,  even  the  rest  of  the  children  of  Ko'hath, 
they  had  the  cities  of  their  lot  out  of  the  tribe  of 

21  E'phra-im.  And  they  gave  them  She'chem  with  her

26  two  cities.  All  the  cities  of  the  families  of  the 
rest  of  the  children  of  Ko'hath  were  ten  with  their 
suburbs. 

27  And  unto  the  children  of  Ger'shon,  of  the  families 
of  the  Le'vites,  out  of  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  they 
gam  Go'lan  in  Ba'shan  with  her  suburbs,  the  city  of 
refuge  for  the  manslayer ;  and  Be-esh'te-rah  with  her 

28  suburbs ;  two  cities.  And  out  of  the  tribe  of  Is'sa- 
char,  Kish'i-on  with  her  suburbs,  Dab'e-rath  with  her 

29 suburbs;   Jar'muth  with  her  suburbs,  En-gan'nim

city  of  refuge  for  the  manslayer,  and  Ham'moth-dor 
with   her  suburbs,  and  Kar'tan   with   her  suburbs; 

33  three  cities.  All  the  cities  of  the  Ger'shon-ites  ac- 
cording to  their  families  were  thirteen  cities  with 
their  suburbs.

35  suburbs,  Dim'nah  with  her  suburbs,  Na'ha-lal  with 
36 her  suburbs;  four  cities.     'And  out  of  the  tribe  of

41  Ainhe  cities  of  the  Le'vites  in  the  midst  of  the 
possession  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  forty  and 

42  eight  cities  with  their  suburbs.  These  cities  were 
every  one  with  their  suburbs  round  about  them : 
thus  it  was  with  all  these  cities. 

43  So  the  Lord  gave  unto  Is'ra-el  all  the  land  which 
he  sware  to  give  unto  their  fathers;  and  they  pos- 

44sessed  it,  and  dwelt  therein.  And  the  Lord  gave 
them  rest  round  about,  according  to  all  that  he  sware 
unto  their  fathers :  and  there  stood  not  a  man  of  all 
their  enemies  before  them ;  the  Lord  delivered  all 

45  their  enemies  into  their  hand.  There  failed  not 
aught  of  any  good  thing  which  the  Lord  had  spoken

«^      Then  Josh'u-a  called  the  Reu'ben-ites,  and  the

servant  of  the  Lord  commanded  you 
my  voice  in  all  that  I  commanded  you : 

3  Ye  have  not  left  your  brethren  these  many  days  unto 
this  day,  but  have  kept  the  charge  of  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  your  God. 

4  And  now  the  Lord  your  God  hath  given  rest  unto 
your  brethren,  as  he  promised  them :  therefore  now  return 
ye,  and  get  you  unto  your  tents,  and  unto  the  land  of  your 
possession,  "which  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  gave  you 
on  the  other  side  Jor'dan. 

5  But  ''take  diligent  heed  to  do  the  commandment  and 
the  law,  which  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  charged  you, 
to  love  the  Lord  your  God,  and  to  walk  in  all  his  ways, 
and  to  keep  his  commandments,  and  to  cleave  unto  him, 
and  to  serve  him  with  all  your  heart  and  with  all  your  soul. 

6  So  Josh'u-a-^  blessed  them,  and  sent  them  away  :  and  they 
went  unto  their  tents. 

7  ^Now  to  the  one  half  of  the  tribe  of  Ma'nas-seh  Mo'ses 
had  given  possession  in  Ba'shan  :  "but  unto  the  other  half 
thereof  gave  Josh'u-a  among  their  brethren  on  this  side  Jor'- 
dan westward.  And  when  Josh'u-a  sent  them  away  also  unto 
their  tents,  then  he  blessed  them, 

8  And  he  spake  unto  them,  saying.  Return  with  much 
riches  unto  your  tents,  and  with  very  much  cattle,  with 
silver,  and  with  gold,  and  with  brass,  and  with  iron,  and  with 
very  much  raiment :  ''divide  the  spoil  of  your  enemies  with 
your  brethren. 

9  TfAnd  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of  Gad 
and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma'nas-seh  returned,  and  departed 
from  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  Shi'loh,  which  is  in 
the  land  of  Ca'naan,  to  go  unto  *the  country  of  Gil'e-ad, 
to  the  land  of  their  possession,  whereof  they  were  pos- 
sessed, according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord  by  the  hand  of 
Mo'ses. 

10  ^And  when  they  came  unto  the  borders  of  Jor'dan, 
that  are  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and 
the  children  of  Gad  and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  built 
there  an  altar  by  Jor'dan,  a  great  altar  to  see  to. 

11  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  *heard  say,  Behold,  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of  Gad  and  the  half 
tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  have  built  an  altar  over  against  the  land 
of  Ca'naan,  in  the  borders  of  Jor'dan,  at  the  passage  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el. 

12  And  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  heard  of  it,  'the  whole 
congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  gathered  themselves 
together  at  Shi'loh,  to  go  up  to  war  against  them. 

13  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  "sent  unto  the  children  of 
Reu'ben,  and  to  the  children  of  Gad,  and  to  the  half  tribe 
of  Ma-nas'seh,  into  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  "Phin'e-has  the  son 
of  E-le-a'zar  the  priest, 

14  And  with  him  ten  princes,  of  each  fcbief  house  a 
prince  throughout  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  "each  one 
was  a  head  of  the  house  of  their  fiithers  among  the  thou- 
sands of  Is'ra-el. 

15  TIAnd  they  came  unto  the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and 
to  the  children  of  Gad,  and  to  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh, 
unto  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  they  spake  with  them,  saying, 

16  Thus  saith  the  whole  congregation  of  the  Lord,  What 
trespass  is  this  that  ye  have  committed  against  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  to  turn  away  this  day  from  following  the  Lord,  in 
that  ye  have  builded  you  an  altar,  "that  ye  might  rebel  this 
day  against  the  Lord? 

n  Is  the  iniquity  "of  Pe'or  too  little  for  us,  from  which  we 
are  not  cleansed  until  this  day,  although  there  was  a  plague 
in  the  congregation  of  the  Lord, 

18  But  that  ye  must  turn  away  this  day  from  following 
the  Lord  ?  and  it  will  be,  seeing  ye  rebel  to-day  against  the 
Lord,  that  to-morrow  ''he  will  be  wroth  with  the  whole 
congregation  of  Is'ra-el. 


servant  of  the  Lord  commanded  you,  and  have  heark- 

3ened  unto  my  voice  in  all  that  I  commanded  you:  ye 

have  not  left  your  brethren  these  many  days  unto 

this  day,  but  have  kept  the  charge  of  the  command- 

4  ment  of  the  Lord  your  God.  And  now  the  Lord 
your  God  hath  given  rest  unto  your  brethren,  as  he 
spake  unto  them :  therefore  now  turn  ye,  and  get  you 
unto  your  tents,  unto  the  land  of  your  possession, 
which  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  gave  you  be- 

5  yond  Jor'dan.  Only  take  diligent  heed  to  do  the  com- 
mandment and  the  law,  which  Mo'ses  the  servant  of

serve  him  with  all  your  heart  and  with  all  your  soul. 

6  So  Josh'u-a  blessed  them,  and  sent  them  away  :  and 
they  went  unto  their  tents. 

7  Now  to  the  one  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  Mo'ses  had 
given  inheritance  in  Ba'shan  :  but  unto  the  other  half 
gave  Josh'u-a  among  their  brethren  beyond  Jor'dan 
westward.     Moreover  when  Josh'u-a  sent  them  away 

8 unto  their  tents,  he  blessed  them,. and  spake  unto 
them,  saying.  Return  with  much  wealth  unto  your 
tents,  and  with  very  much  cattle,  with  silver,  and 
with  gold,  and  with  brass,  and  with  iron,  and  with 
very  much  raiment :  divide  the  spoil  of  your  enemies 
with  your  brethren. 

9  And  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of 
Gad  and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas-seh  returned,  and 
departed  from  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  Shi'loh, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  to  go  unto  the  land 
of  Gil'e-ad,  to  the  land  of  their  possession,  whereof 
they   were   possessed,  according  to    the   command- 

10  ment  of  the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mb'ses.  And 
when  they  came  unto  the  region  about  Jor'dan,  that 
is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and 
the  children  of  Gad  and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh 
built  there  an  altar  by  Jor'dan,  a  great  altar  to  see 

11  to.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  heard  say.  Behold, 
the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of  Gad  and 
the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  have  built  an  altar  in  the 
forefront  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  in  the  region  about 
Jor'dan,  on  the  side  that  pertaineth  to  the  children' 

12  of  Is'ra-el.  And  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  heard  of 
it,  the  whole  congregation  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
gathered  themselves  together  at  Shi'loh,  to  go  up 
against  them  to  war. 

13  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  sent  unto  the  children 
of  Reu'ben,  and  to  the  children  of  Gad,  and  to  the 
half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  into  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad, 

14  Phin'e-has  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar  the  priest;  and  with 
him  ten  princes,  one  prince  of  a  father's  house  for 
each  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  they  were  every 
one  of  them  head  of  their  fathers'  houses  among  the 

16 'thousands  of  Is'ra-el.  And  they  came  unto  the 
children  of  Reu'ben,  and  to  the  children  of  Gad,  and 
to  thehalf  tribeofMa-nas'seh,  unto  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad, 

16  and  they  spake  with  them,  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
whole  congregation  of  the  Lord,  What  trespass  is 
this  that  ye  have  committed  against  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
to  turn  away  this  day  from  following  the  Lord,  in 
that  ye  have  builded  you  an  altar,  to  rebel  this  day 

17  against  the  Lord  ?  Is  the  iniquity  of  Pe'or  too  little 
for  us,  from  which  we  have  not  nleansed  ourselves  un- 
to this  day,  although  there  came  a  plague  upon  the 

18  congregation  of  the  Lord,  that  ye  must  turn  away  this 
day  from  following  the  Lord  ?  and  it  will  be,  seeing 
ye  rebel  to-day  against  the  Lo^D,  that  to-morrow  he 
will  be  wroth  with  the  whole  congregation  of  Is'ra-el.

19  Notwithstanding,  if  the  land  of  your  possession  be 
unclean,  then  pass  ye  over  unto  the  land  of  the  possession 
of  the  LoBD,  'wherein  the  LoHi/s  tabernacle  dwelleth,  and 
take  possession  among  us :  but  rebel  not  against  the  Lord, 
nor  rebel  against  us,  in  building  you  an  altar  besides  the 
altar  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

20  'Did  not  A'chan  the  son  of  Ze'rah  commit  a  trespass 
in  the  accursed  thing,  and  wrath  fell  on  all  the  congregation 
of  Is'ra-el?  and  that  man  perished  not  alone  in  his  iniquity. 

21  ^Then  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of 
Gad  and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  answered,  and  said 
unto  the  heads  of  the  thousands  of  Is'ra-el, 

22  The  Lord  "God  of  gods,  the  Lord  God  of  gods, 
he  "^knoweth,  and  Is'ra-el  he  shall  knowj  if  i<6e  in  rebellion, 
or  if  in  transgression  against  the  Lord,  (save  us  not  this 
day,) 

23  That  we  have  built  us  an  altar  to  turn  from  following 
the  Lord,  or  if  to  offer  thereon  burnt  offering  or  meat 
offering,  or  if  to  offer  peace  offerings  thereon,  let  the  Lord 
himself  "require  it ; 

24  And  if  we  have  not  rather  done  it  for  fear  of  this 
thing,  saying,  fin  time  to  come  your  children  might  speak 
unto  our  children,  saying,  What  have  ye  to  do  with  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el? 

25  For  the  Lord  hath  made  Jor'dan  a  border  between  us 
and  you,  ye  children  of  Reu'ben  and  children  of  Gad ;  ye 
have  no  part  in  the  Lord  :  so  shall  your  children  make 
our  children  cease  from  fearing  the  Lord. 

26  Therefore  we  said.  Let  us  now  prepare  to  build  us  an 
altar,  not  for  burnt  offering,  nor  for  sacrifice : 

27  But  that  it  may  be  'a  witness  between  us,  and  you,  and 
our  generations  after  us,  that  we  might  "do  the  service  of 
the  Lord  before  him  with  our  burnt  offerings,  and  with  our 
sacrifices,  and  with  our  peace  offerings;  that  your  children 
may  not  say  to  our  children  in  time  to  come,  Ye  have  no 
part  in  the  Lord. 

28  Therefore  said  we,  that  it  shall  be,  when  they  should  so 
say  to  us  or  to  our  generations  in  time  to  co  e,  that  we 
may  say  again,  Behold  the  pattern  of  the  altar  of  the  Lord, 
which  our  fathers  made,  not  for  burnt  offerings,  nor  for  sac- 
rifices; but  it  is  a  witness  between  us  anr"  you. 

29  God  forbid  that  we  should  rebel  against  the  Lord,  and 
turn  this  day  from  following  the  Lord,  'to  build  an  altar 
for  burnt  offerings,  for  meat  offerings,  or  for  sacrifices,  be- 
sides the  altar  of  the  Lord  our  God  that  is  before  his  taber- 
nacle. 

30  ^And  when  Phin'e-has  the  priest,  and  the  princes  of 
the  congregatiofl  and  heads  of  the  thousands  of  Is'ra-el 
which  were  with  him,  heard  the  words  that  the  children  of 
Reu'ben  and  the  children  of  Gad  and  the  children  of  Ma'- 
nas'seh  spake,  fit  pleased  them. 

31  And  Phin'e-has  the  son  of  E-le-a'2ar  the  priest  said  unto 
the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and  to  the  children  of  Gad,  and  to 
the  children  of  Ma-nas'seh,  This  day  we  perceive  that  the 
Lord  is  "among  us,  because  ye  have  not  committed  this 
trespass  against  the  Lord  :  fnow  ye  have  delivered  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Lord. 

32  ^And  Phin'e-has  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar  the  priest,  and 
the  princes,  returned  from  the  children  of  Reuben,  and 
from  the  children  of  Gad,  out  of  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  unto 
the  land  of  Ca'naan,  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  brought 
them  word  again. 

33  And  the  thing  pleased  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  ''blessed  God,  and  did  not  intend  to  go 
up  against  them  in  battle,  to  destroy  the  land  wherein  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  and  Gad  dwelt. 

34  And  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of  Gad 
called  the  altar  \\Ed:  for  it  shall  be  a  witness  between  as 
that  the  Lord  is  God. 


19Howbeit,  if  the  land  of  your  possession  be  unclean, 
then  pass  ye  over  unto  the  land  of  the  possession  of 
the  Lord,  wherein  the  Lord's  tabernacle  dwelleth, 
and  take  possession  among  us :  but  rebel  not  against 
the  Lord,  nor  rebel  against  us,  in  building  you  an  altar 

20  besides  the  altar  of  the  Lord  our  God.  Did  not  A'chan 
the  son  of  Ze'rah  commit  a  trespass  in  the  devoted 
thing,  and  wrath  fell  upon  all  the  congregation  of  Is'- 
ra-el ?  and  that  man  perished  not  alone  in  his  iniquity. 

21  Then  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of 
Gad  and  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  answered,  and 
spake  unto  the  heads  of  the  'thousands  of  Is'ra-el, 

222The  Lord,  the  God  of  gods,  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  gods,  he  knoweth,  and  Is'ra-el  he  shall  know ;  if 
it  be  in  rebellion,  or  if  in  trespass  against  the  Lord, 

23  (save  thou  us  not  this  day,^  that  we  have  built  us 
an  altar  to  turn  away  from  following  the  Lord  ;  or 
if  to  offer  thereon  burnt  offering  or  meal  offering,  or 
if  to  offer  sacrifices  of  peace  offerings  thereon,  let  the 

24  Lord  himself  require  it ;  and  if  we  have  not  rather 
out  of  carefulness  done  this,  and  of  purpose,  saying. 
In  time  to  come  your  children  might  speak  unto 
our  children,  saying,  What  have  ye  to  do  with  the 

25  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  ?  for  the  Lord  hath  made 
Jor'dan  a  border  between  us  and  you,  ye  children  of 
Reu'ben  and  children  of  Gad ;  ye  have  no  portion  in 
the  Lord:  so  shall  your  children  make  our  chil- 

26dren  cease  from  fearing  the  Lord.  Therefore  we 
said.  Let  us  now  prepare  to  build  us  an  altar,  not 

27  for  burnt  offering,  nor  for  sacrifice :  but  it  shall  be 
a  witness  between  us  and  you,  and  between  our 
generations  after  us,  that  we  may  do  the  service  oi 
the  Lord  before  him  with  our  burnt  offerings,  and 
with  our  sacrifices,  and  with  our  peace  offerings; 
that  your  children  may  not  say  to  our  children  in 
time  to  come.  Ye  have   no  portion   in  the  Lord. 

28  Therefore  said  we,  It  shall  oe,  when  they  so  say 
to  us  or  to  our  generations  in  time  to  come,  that 
we  shall  say.  Behold  the  pattern  of  the  altar  of  the 
Lord,  which  our  fathers  made,  not  for  burnt  offer- 
ing, nor  for  sacrifice ;  but  it  is  a  witness  between  us 

29  and  you.  God  forbid  that  we  should  rebel  against 
the  Lord,  and  turn  away  this  day  from  following 
the  Lord,  to  build  an  altar  for  burnt  offering,  for 
meal  offering,  or  for  sacrifice,  besides  the  altar  of 
the  Lord  our  God  that  is  before  his  tabernacle. 

30  And  when  Phin'e-has  the  priest,  and  the  princes  of 
the  congregation,  even  the  heads  of  the  thousands  of 
Is'ra-el  v/hich  were  with  him,  heard  the  words  that  the 
children  of  Reu'ben  and  the  children  of  Gad  and  the 
children  of  Ma-nas'seh  spake,  it  pleased  them  well. 

31  And  Phin'e-has thesonofE-le-azarthepriestsg'dun- 
to  the  children  of  Reu'ben,  and  to  the  children  of  Gad, 
and  to  the  children  of  Ma-nas'seh,  This  day  we  know 
that  the  Lord  is  in  the  midst  of  us,  because  ye  have 
not  committed  this  trespass  against  the  Lord  :  now 
have  ye  delivered  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the 

32  hand  of  the  Lord.  And  Phin'e-has  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar 
the  priest,  and  the  princes,  returned  from  the  children 
of  Reu'ben,  and  from  the  children  of  Gad,  out  of  the 
land  of  Gil'e-ad,  unto  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  to  the  chil- 

33  dren  of  Is'ra-el,  and  brought  them  word  again.  And 
the  thing  pleased  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  blessed  God,  and  spake  no  more 
of  going  up  against  them  to  war,  to  destroy  the  land 
wherein  the  children  of  Reuben  and  the  children  of 

34Gad  dwelt.  And  the  children  of  Reu'ben  and  the 
children  of  Gad  called  the  altar  ^Ed :  For,  said  they, 
it  is  a  witness  between  us  that  the  Lord  is  God.

CHAPTER   XXIII. 

Joshua^ s  exhortation  by  former  benejiii,  promises,  and  by  tkreatenings. 

AND   it   came  to  pass,  a  long  time  after  that  the  Lord 
"had  given  rest  unto   Is'ra-el  from   all   their    enemies 
round  about,  that  Josh'u-a  'waxed  old  and  fstricken  in  age. 

2  And  Josh'u-a  "'called  for  all  Is'ra-el,  and  for  their  elders, 
and  for  their  heads,  and  for  their  judges,  and  for  their 
officers,  and  said  unto  them,  I  am  old  and  stricken  in  age: 

3  And  ye  have  seen  all  that  the  Lord  your  God  hath 
done  unto  all  these  nations  because  of  you ;  for  the  ''Lord 
your  God  is  he  that  bath  fought  for  you. 

4  Behold,  *I  have  divided  unto  you  by  lot  these  nations 
that  remain,  to  be  an  inheritance  for  your  tribes,  from  Jor'- 
dan,  with  all  the  nations  that  I  have  cut  off,  even  unto  the 
great  sea  fwestward. 

5  And  the  Lord  your  God,-nie  shall  expel  them  from  before 
you,  anddrivethemfrom  out  of  your  sight;  and  ye  shall  pos- 
sesstheir  land,  "as  the  Lord  your  God  hath  promised  unto  you. 

6  *Be  ye  therefore  very  courageous  to  keep  and  to  do  ail 
that  is  written  in  the  book  of  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  'that  ye 
turn  not  aside  therefrom  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left ; 

7  That  ye  *come  not  among  these  nations,  these  that  re- 
main among  you ;  neither  'make  mention  of  the  name  of 
their  gods,  nor  cause  to  swear  by  them,  neither  serve  them, 
nor  bow  yourselves  unto  them: 

8  II  But  "cleave  unto  the  Lord  your  God,  as  ye  have  done 
unto  this  day. 

9  II  "For  the  Lord  hath  driven  out  from  before  you  great 
nations  and  strong:  but  as  for  you,  "no  man  hath  been 
able  to  stand  before  you  unto  this  day. 

10  "One  man  ofyou  shall  chase  a  thousand:  for  the  Lord  your 
God,  he  it  is  that  fighteth  for  you,  'as  he  hath  promised  you. 

11  ""Take  good  heed  therefore  unto  fyourselves,  that  ye 
love  the  Lord  your  God. 

12  Else,  if  ye  do  in  any  wise  'go  back,  and  cleave  unto 
the  remnant  of  these  nations,  even  these  that  remain  among 
you,  and  shall  'make  marriages  with  them,  and  go  in  unto 
them,  and  they  to  you : 

13  Know  for  a  certainty  that  "the  Lord  your  God  will  no 
more  drive  out  any  of  these  nations  from  before  you :  ''but 
they  shall  be  snares  and  ti-aps  unto  you,  and  scourges  in  your 
sides,  and  thorns  in  your  eyes,  until  ye  perish  from  off  this 
good  land  which  the  Lord  your  God  hath  given  you. 

14  And,  behold,  this  day  "I  am  going  the  way  of  all  the 
earth:  and  ye  know  in  all  your  hearts  and  in  all  your  souls, 
that  ''not  one  thing  hath  failed  of  all  the  good  things  which 
the  Lord  your  God  spake  concerning  you ;  all  are  come  to 
pass  unto  you,  and  not  one  thing  hath  failed  thereof. 

15  "Therefore  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  as  all  good  things 
are  come  upon  you,  which  the  Lord  your  God  promised 
you;  so  shall  the  Lord  bring  upon  you  'all  evil  things, 
until  he  have  destroyed  you  from  off  this  gocd  land  which 
the  Lord  your  God  hath  given  you. 

16  When  ye  have  transgressed  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
your  God,  which  he  commanded  you,  and  have  gone  and 
served  other  gods,  and  bowed  yourselves  to  them;  then 
shall  the  anger  of  the  Lord  be  kindled  against  you,  and  ye 
shall  perish  quickly  from  off  the  good  land  which  he  hath 
given  unto  you. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

Joshua  assembleth  the  tribes— Reneweth  a  covenant  with  God. 

AND  Josh'u-a  gathered  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  "She'- 
chem,  and  'called  for  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  for 
their  heads,  and  for  their  judges,  and  for  their  officers ;  and 
they  ""presented  themselves  before  God. 

2  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  all  the  people.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  ''Your  fathers  dwelt  on  the  other  side 
of  the  flood  in  old  time,  even  Te'rah,  the  father  of  A'bra-ham, 
and  the  father  of  Na'chor:  and  "^hey  served  other  gods. 


i^'O  And  it  came  to  pass  after  many  days,  when  the 
Lord  had  given  rest  unto  Is'ra-el  from  all  their  ene- 
mies round  about,  and  Josh'u-a   was  old  and  well 

2  stricken  in  years ;  that  Josh'u-a  called  for  all  Is'ra-el, 
for  their  elders  and  for  their  heads,  and  for  their 
judges  and  for  their  officers,  and  said  unto  them,  I 

3  am  old  and  well  stricken  in  years :  and  ye  have  seen 
all  that  the  Lord  your  God  hath  done  unto  all  these 
nations  because  of  you ;  for  the  Lord  your  God,  he 

4  it  is  that  hath  fought  for  you.  Behold,  I  have  al- 
lotted unto  you  these  nations  that  remain,  to  be  an 
inheritance  for  your  tribes,  from  Jor'dan,  with  all  the 
nations  that  I  have  cut  off,  even  unto  the  great  sea 

5  toward  the  going  down  of  the  sun.  And  the  Lord 
your  God,  he  shall  thrust  them  out  from  before  you, 
and  drive  them  from  out  of  your  sight ;  and  ye  shall 
possess  their  land,  as  the  Lord  your  God  spake 

6  unto  you.  Therefore  be  ye  very  courageous  to 
keep  and  to  do  all  that  is  written  in  the  book  of 
the  law  of  Mo'ses,  that  ye  turn  not  aside  therefrom 

7  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left ;  that  ye  come  not 
among  these  nations,  these  that  remain  among  you ; 
neither  make  mention  of  the  name  of  their  gods,  nor 
cause  to  swear  hy  them,  neither  serve  them,  nor  bow 

8 down  yourselves  unto  them:  but  cleave  unto  the 
Lord  your  God,  as  ye   have    done  unto  this  day. 

9  For  the  Lord  hath  driven  out  from  before  you 
great   nations  and  strong :  but  as  for  you,  no  man 

10  hath  stood  before  you  unto  this  day.  One  man  of 
you  'shall  chase  a  thousand:  for  the  Lord  your 
God,  he  it  is  that  fighteth  for  you,  as  he  spake  unto 

11  you.     Take    good   heed  therefore  unto  yourselves, 

12  that  ye  love  the  Lord  your  God.  Else  if  ye  do  in 
any  wise  go  back,  and  cleave  unto  the  remnant  of 
these  nations,  even  these  that  remain  among  you, 
and  make  marriages  with   them,  and    go   in   unto 

13  them,  and  they  to  you :  know  for  a  certainty  that 
the  Lord  your  God  will  no  more  drive  these  na- 
tions from  out  of  your  sight ;  but  they  shall  be  a 
snare  and  a  trap  unto  you,  and  a  scourge  in  your 
sides,  and  thorns  in  your  eyes,  until  ye  perish  from 
off  this  good  land  which  the  Lord  your  God  hath 

14  given  you.  And,  behold,  this  day  I  am  going  the 
way  of  all  the  earth;  and  ye  know  in  all  your 
hearts  and  in  all  your  souls,  that  not  one  thing 
hath  failed  of  all  the  good  things  which  the  Lord 
your  God  spake  concerning  you ;  all  are  come  id 
pass   unto  you,  not  one  thing  hath    failed  thereof. 

15  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  as  all  the  good  things 
are  come  upon  you  of  which  the  Lord  your  God 
spake  unto  you,  so  shall  the  Lord  bring  upon  you 
all  the  evil  things,  until  he  have  destroyed  you  from 
off  this  good  land  which  the  Lord  your  God  bath 

16  given  you.  When  ye  transgress  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  your  God,  which  he  commanded  you,  and  go 
and  serve  other  gods,  and  bow  down  yourselves  to 
them;  then  shall  the  anger  of  the  Lord  be  kindled 
against  you,  and  ye  shall  perish  quickly  from  off  the 
good  land  which  he  hath  given  unto  you. 

^^  And  Josh'u-a  gathered  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  She'- 
chem,  and  called  for  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  for  their 
heads,  and  for  their  judges,  and  for  their  officers ;  and 
2  they  presented  themselves  before  God.  And  Josh'u-a 
said  unto  all  the  people,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  Your  fathers  dwelt  of  old  time  beyond 
the  River,  even  Te'rah,  the  &ther  of  A'bra-ham,  and 
the  father  of  Na'hor :  and  they  served  other  gods.

3  And  -^I  took  your  father  A'braham  from  the  other  side 
of  the  flood,  and  led  him  throughout  all  the  land  of  Ca'- 
naan,  and  multiplied  his  seed,  and  "gave  him  I'saac. 

4  And  I  gave  unto  I'saac  *Ja'cob  and  E'sau :  and  I  gave 
unto  'E'sau  mount  Se'ir,  to  possess  it;  *but  Jacob  and  his 
children  went  down  into  E'gypt. 

5  'I  sent  Mo'ses  also  and  Aa'ron,  and  ""I  plagued  E'gypt, 
according  to  that  which  I  did  among  them :  and  afterward 
I  brought  you  out. 

6  And  I  "brought  your  fathers  out  of  E'gypt:  and  "ye 
came  unto  the  sea ;  "and  the  E-gyp'tians  pursued  after  your 
fathers  with  chariots  and  horsemen  unto  the  Red  sea. 

7  And  when  they  'cried  unto  the  Lord,  "^he  put  darkness  be- 
tween you  and  the  E-gyp'tians,'and  brought  the  sea  upon  them, 
and  covered  them;  and  'your  eyes  have  seen  what  I  have  done 
in  E'gypt:  and  ye  dwelt  in  the  wilderness  "a  long  season. 

8  And  I  brought  you  into  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rites,which 
dwelt  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan;  ''and  they  fought  with  you: 
and  I  gave  them  into  your  hand,  that  ye  might  possess  their 
land  ;  and  I  destroyed  them  from  before  you. 

9  Then  "Ba'lak  the  son  of  Zip'por,  king  of  Mo'ab,  arose 
and  warred  against  Is'ra-el,  and  ''sent  and  called  Ba'laam  the 
son  of  Be'or  to  curse  you  : 

10  "But  I  would  not  hearken  unto  Ba'laam;  therefore  he 
blessed  you  still ;  so  I  delivered  you  out  of  his  hand. 

11  And  "ye  went  over  Jor'dan,  and  came  unto  Jer'i-cho: 
and  ''the  men  of  Jer'i-cho  fought  against  you,the  Am'o-rites, 
and  the  Per'iz-zites,  and  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the  Hit'tites, 
and  the  Gir'ga-shites,  the  Hi'vites,  and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  and  I 
delivered  them  into  your  hand. 

12  And  'I  sent  the  hornet  before  you,  which  drave  them 
out  from  before  you,  even  the  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites ; 
but  -^not  with  thy  sword,  nor  with  thy  bow. 

13  And  I  have  given  you  a  land  for  which  ye  did  not  labour, 
and  'cities  which  ye  built  not,  and  ye  dwell  in  them ;  of  the 
vineyards  and  oliveyards  which  ye  planted  not  do  ye  eat. 

14  "Hf^Now  therefore  fear  the  Loed,  and  serve  him  in  'sin- 
cerity and  in  truth ;  and  *put  away  the  gods  which  your 
fathers  served  on  the  other  side  of  the  flood,  and  'in  E'gypt ; 
and  serve  ye  the  Lord. 

15  And  if  it  seem  evil  unto  you  to  serve  the  Loed,  "choose 
you  this  day  whom  ye  will  serve ;  whether  "the  gods  which 
your  fathers  served  that  were  on  the  other  side  of  the  flood, 
or  "the  gods  of  the  Am'o-rites,  in  whose  land  ye  dwell :  'but 
as  for  me  and  my  house,  we  will  serve  the  Loed. 

16  And  the  people  answered,  and  said,  God  forbid  that  we 
should  forsake  the  Loed,  to  serve  other  gods ; 

17  For  the  Loed  our  God,  he  it  is  that  brought  us  up  and 
our  fathers  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  from  the  house  of 
bondage,  and  which  did  those  great  signs  in  our  sight,  and 
preserved  us  in  all  the  way  wherein  we  went,  and  among  all 
the  people  through  whom  we  passed : 

18  And  the  Loed  drave  out  from  before  us  all  the  people, 
even  the  Am'o-rites  which  dwelt  in  the  land :  therefore  will 
we  also  serve  the  Loed  ;  for  he  is  our  God. 

19  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  people,  «ye  cannot  serve  the 
Loed  :  for  he  ts  a  ''holy  God :  he  is  'a  jealous  God ;  'he 
will  not  forgive  your  transgressions  nor  your  sins. 

20  "If  ye  forsake  the  Lord,  and  serve  strange  gods,  ''then 
he  will  turn  and  do  you  hurt,  and  consume  you,  after  that 
he  hath  done  you  good, 

21  And  the  people  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Nay ;  but  we  will 
serve  the  Lord. 

22  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  people,  Ye  are  witnesses 
against  yourselves  that  "ye  have  chosen  you  the  Loed,  to 
serve  him.     And  they  said.  We  are  witnesses. 

23  Now  therefore  "put  away,  said  he,  the  strange  gods 
which  are  among  you,  and  incline  your  heart  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el. 


3  And  I  took  your  fiither  A'braham  from  beyond  the 
River,  and  led  him  throughout  all  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 

4  and  multiplied  his  seed,  and  gave  him  I'saac.  And  I 
gave  unto  I'saac  Ja'eob  and  E'sau :  and  I  gave  unto 
E'sau  mount  Se'ir,  to  possess  it;  and  Ja'eob  and  hischil 

5  dren  went  down  into  E'gypt.  And  I  sent  Mo'ses  and 
Aa'ron,  and  I  plagued  E'gypt,  according  to  that  which 
I  did  in  the  midst  thereof:  and  afterward  I  brought 

6  you  out.     And  I  brought  your  fathers  out  of  E'gypt 
and  ye  came  unto  the  sea ;  and  the  E-gyp'tians  pursued 
after  your  fathers  with  chariots  and  with  horsemen 

7  unto  the  Red  Sea.  And  when  they  cried  out  unto 
the  Loed,  he  put  darkness  between  you  and  the 
E-gyp'tians,  and  brought  the  sea  upon  them,  and  cov- 
ered them;  and  your  eyes  saw  what  I  did  in  E'gypt: 

8  and  ye  dwelt  in  the  wilderness  many  days.  And  ~ 
brought  you  into  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rites,  which 
dwelt  beyond  Jor'dan  ;  and  they  fought  with  you  :  and 
I  gave  them  into  your  hand,  avid  ye  possessed  their 

9  land ;  and  I  destroyed  them  from  before  you.  ThenBa'- 
lak  the  son  of  Zip'por,  king  of  Mo'ab,  arose  and  fought 
against  Is'ra-el ;  and  he  sent  and  called  Ba'laam  the 

10  son  of  Be'or  to  curse  you  :  but  I  would  not  hearken 
unto  Ba'laam;  therefore  he  blessed  you  still:  so  I 

11  delivered  you  out  of  his  hand.  And  ye  went  over 
Jor'dan,  and  came  unto  Jer'i-cho:  and  the  men  of 
Jer'i-cho  fought  against  you,  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the 
Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Ca'naan-ite,  and  the  Hit'tite,  and 
the  Gir'ga-shite,  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site ;  and  I 

12  delivered  them  into  your  hand.  And  I  sent  the 
hornet  before  you,  which  drave  them  out  from  be- 
fore you,  even  the  two  kings  of  the  Am'o-rites ;  not 

13  with  thy  sword,  nor  with  thy  bow.     And  I  gave  you 
a  land  whereon  thou  hadst  not  laboured,  and  cities 
which  ye  built  not,  and  ye  dwell  therein ;    of  vine 
yards  and  oliveyards  which   ye   planted   not  do  ye 

14  eat.  Now  therefore  fear  the  Loed,  and  serve  him 
in  sincerity  and  in  truth :  and  put  away  the  gods 
which  your  fathers  served  beyond  the  River,  and  in 

15  E'gypt ;  and  serve  ye  the  Loed.  And  if  it  seem 
evil  unto  you  to  serve  the  Loed,  choose  you  this 
day  whom  ye  will  serve ;  whether  the  gods  which 
your  fathers  served  that  were  beyond  the  River,  or 
the  gods  of  the  Am'o-rites,  in  whose  land  ye  dwell : 
but  as  for  me  and    my   house,  we  will   serve  the 

16  Loed.  And  the  people  answered  and  said,  God 
forbid  that  we  should   forsake  the  Lord,  to  serve 

17  other  gods;  for  the  Lord  our  God,  he  it  is  that 
brought  us  and  our  fathers  up  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  from  the  house  of  'bondage,  and  that  did 
those  great  signs  in  our  sight,  and  preserved  us  in 
all  the  way  wherein  we  went,  and  among  all  the 
peoples   through    the    midst   of  whom    we  passed : 

18  and  the  Lord  drave  out  from  before  us  all  the 
peoples,  even  the  Am'o-rites  which  dwelt  in  the 
land:    therefore  we  also  will  serve  the  Lord:  for 

19  he  is  our  God.  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the  people. 
Ye  cannot  serve  the  Lord  ;  for  he  is  an  holy  God ; 
he  is  a  jealous  God:  he  will  not  forgive  your  trans- 

20  gression  nor  your  sins.  If  ye  forsake  the  Lord,  and 
serve  strange  gods,  then  he  will  turn  and  do  you 
evil,  and  consume  you,  after  that  he  hath  done  you 

21  good.     And  the  people  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  Nay ;  but 

22  we  will  serve  the  Lord.     And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  the 

Eeople,  Ye  are  witnesses  against  yourselves  that  ye 
ave  chosen  you  the  Lord,  to  serve  him.     And  they 

23  said.  We  are  witnesses.  Now  therefore  put  away, 
said  he,  the  strange  gods  which  are  among  you,  and 
incline  your  heart  unto  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.

24  And  the  people  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  The  Lord  our  God 
will  we  serve,  and  his  voice  will  we  obey. 

25  So  Josh'u-a  "made  a  covenant  with  the  people  that  day, 
and  set  them  a  statute  and  an  ordinance  'in  She'ehem, 

26  ^And  Jcsh'u-a  "wrote  these  words  in  the  book  of  the 
law  of  God,  and  took  ''a  great  stone,  and  "set  it  up  there 
•^under  an  oak,  that  was  by  the  sanctuary  of  the  Lobd. 

27  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  all  the  people,  Behold,  this  stone 
shall  be  "a  witness  unto  us ;  for  *it  hath  heard  all  the  words 
of  the  Lord  which  he  spake  unto  us :  it  shall  be  therefore 
a  witness  unto  you,  lest  ye  deny  your  God. 

28  So  'Josh'u-a  let  the  people  depart,  every  man  unto  his 
inheritance. 

29  ^*And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  Nun,  the  servant  of  the  Lord,  died,  being  a 
hundred  and  ten  years  old. 

30  And  they  buried  him  in  the  border  of  his  inheritance 
in  'Tim'nath-se'rah,  which  is  in  mount  E'phra-im,  on  the 
north  side  of  the  hill  Ga'ash. 

31  And  "Is'ra-el  served  the  Lord  all  the  days  of  Josh'u-a, 
and  all  the  days  of  the  elders  that  foverlived  Josh'ua,  and 
which,  had  "known  all  the  works  of  the  Lord  that  he  had 
done  for  Is'ra-el. 

32  ^And  "the  bones  of  Jo'seph,  which  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  brought  up  out  of  E'gypt,  buried  they  in  She'ehem,  in 
a  parcel  of  ground  "which  Ja'cob  bought  of  the  sons  of  Ha'- 
m  -r  the  father  of  She'ehem  for  a  hundred  ||  pieces  of  silver ; 
and  it  became  the  inheritance  of  the  children  of  Jo'seph. 

33  And  E-le-a'zar  the  son  of  Aa'ron  died ;  and  they  buried 
him  in  a  hill  that  pertained  to  'Phin'e-has  his  son,  which 
was  given  him  in  rooimt  E'phra-im. 


24  And  the  people  said  unto  Josh'u-a,  The  Lord  our  God 
will  we  serve,  and  unto  his  voice  will  we  hearken. 

25  So  Josh'u-a  made  a  covenant  with  the  people  that  day, 
and  set  them  a  statute  and  an  ordinance  in  She'ehem. 

26  And  Josh'u-a  wrote  these  words  in  the  book  of  the 
law  of  God ;  and  he  took  a  great  stone,  and  set  it 
up  there  under  the  oak  that  was  'by  the  sanctuary 

27  of  the  Lord.  And  Josh'u-a  said  unto  all  the  people, 
Behold,  this  stone  shall  be  a  witness  against  us ;  for 
it  hath  heard  all  the  words  of  the  Lord  which  he 
spake  unto  us :  it  shall  be  therefore  a  witness  against 

28  you,  lest  ye  deny  your  God.  So  Josh'u-a  sent  the  peo- 
ple away,  every  man  unto  his  inheritance. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that 
Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  the  servant  of  the  Lord, 

30  died,  being  an  hundred  and  ten  years  old.  And 
they  buried  him  in  the  border  of  his  inheritance  in 
Tim'nath-se'rah,  which  is  in  the  hill  country  of  E'phra- 

31  im,  on  the  north  of  the  mountain  of  Ga'ash.  And

all  the  days  of  the  elders  that  outlived  Josh'u-a,  and 
had  known  all  the  work  of  the  Lord,  that  he  had 

32  wrought  for  Is'ra-el.  And  the  bones  of  Jo'seph,

CHAPTER  I. 

Acts  of  Judah  and  Simeon— Jerusalem  taken—Acts  of  Benjamin,  etc. 

NOW  after  the  death  of  Josh'u-a  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  "asked  the  Lord,  saying,  Who  shall  go 
up  for  us  against  the  Ca'naan-ites  first,  to  fight  against  them  ? 

2  And  the  Lord  said,  'Ju'dah  shall  go  up  :  behold,  I  have 
delivered  the  land  into  his  hand. 

3  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  Sim'e-on  his  brother,  Come  up  with 
me  into  my  lot,  that  we  may  fight  against  the  Ca'naan-ites ; 
and  "I  likewise  will  go  with  thee  into  thy  lot.  So  Sim'e-on 
went  with  him. 

4  And  Ju'dah  went  up ;  and  the  Lord  delivered  the  Ca'- 
naan-ites and  the  Per'iz-zites  into  their  hand :  and  they  slew 
of  them  in  ''Be'zek  ten  thousand  men. 

5  And  they  found  A-do'ni-be'zek  in  Be'zek :  and  they  fought 
against  him.  nnd  they  slew  the  Ca'naan-ites  and  the  Per'iz-zites. 

6  But  A-do'ni-be'zek  fled ;  and  they  pursued  after  him,  and 
caught  him,  and  cut  oif  his  thumbs  and  his  great  toes. 

7  And  A-do'ni-be'zek  said,  Threescore  and  ten  kings,  hav- 
ing ftheir  thumbs  and*  their  great  toes  cut  off,  ||  gathered 
tl\£ir  meat  under  my  table:  "as  I  have  done,  so  God  hath 
requited  me.  And  they  brought  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
there  he  died. 

8  Now  •'^the  children  of  Ju'dah  had  fought  against  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  had  taken  it,  and  smitten  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  set  the  city  on  fire. 

9  ^"And  afterward  the  children  of  Ju'dah  went  down  to 
fight  against  the  Ca'naan-ites,  that  dwelt  in  the  mountain, 
and  in  the  south,  and  in  the  ||  valley. 

10  And  Ju'dah  went  against  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwelt  in

And  it  came  to  pass  afi«r  the  death  of  Josh'u-a,  that 

the  children  of  Is'ra-el  asked  of  the  Lord,  saying. 

Who  shall  go  up  for  us  first  against  the  Ca'naan-ites, 

2 to  fight  against  them?     And  the  T/vbd  said,  Ju'dah 

shall  go  up:  behold,  I  have  delivered  the  land  into 

3  his  hand.  And  Ju'dah  said  unto  Sim'e-on  his  brother, 
Come  up  with  me  into  my  lot,  that  we  may  fight 
against  the  Ca'naan-ites;  and  I  likewise  will  go  with 

4  thee  into  thy  lot.     So  Sim'e-on  went  with  him.     And 
Ju'dah  went  up ;  and  the  Lord  delivered  the  Ca'naan 
ites  and  the  Per'iz-zites  into  their  hand:  and  they 

5  smote  of  them  in  Be'zek  irn  thousand  men.  And 
they  found  Ado'ni-be'zek  in  Be'zek :  and  they  fought 
against  him,  and  they  smote  the  Ca'naan-ites  and  the 

6  Per'iz-zites.  But  Ado'ni-be'zek  fled ;  and  they  pur- 
sued after  him,  and  caught  him,  and  cut  cff  his 

7  thumbs  and  his  great  toes.  And  ji.do'ni-be'zek  said, 
Threescore  and  ten  kings,  having  their  thumbs  and 
their  great  toes  cut  off,  gathered  their  meat  under 
my  table :  as  I  have  done,  so  God  hath  requited 
me.  And  they  brought  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  he 
died  there. 

8  And  the  children  of  Ju'dah  fought  against  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  took  it,  and  smote  it  with  the  edge 

9  of  the  sword,  and  set  the  city  on  fire.  And  after- 
ward the  children  of  Ju'dah  went  down  to  fight 
against  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwelt  in  the  hill  coun- 

10  try,  and  in  the  South,  and  in  the  lowland.     'And 
Ju'dah  went  against  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  dwelt  in

He'bron :  now  the  name  of  He'bron  before  was  *Kir'jatli- 
ar'ba :  and  they  slew  She'shai,  and  A-hi'man,  and  Tal'mai. 

11  'And  from  thence  be  went  against  the  inhabitants  of 
De'bir :  and  the  name  of  De'bir  before  was  Kir'jath-se'pher : 

12  *Aud  Ca'leb  said,  He  that  smiteth  Kir'jath-se'pher,  and 
taketh  it,  to  him  will  I  give  Ach'sah  my  daughter  to  wife. 

13  And  Oth'ni-el  the  son  of  Ke'naz,'Caleb'syounger  brother, 
took  it :  and  he  gave  him  Ach'sah  his  daughter  to  wife. 

14  ™And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  came  to  him,  that  she 
moved  him  to  ask  of  her  father  a  field  :  and  she  lighted  from 
off  her  ass  ;  and  Ca'leb  said  unto  her,  What  wilt  thou  ? 

15  And  she  said  unto  him,  "Give  me  a  blessing:  for 
thou  hast  given  me  a  south  land ;  give  me  also  springs  of 
water.  And  Ca'leb  gave  her  the  upper  springs  and  the 
nether  springs. 

16  1[''And  the  children  of  the  Ken'ite,  Mo'ses'  father  in  law, 
went  up  out  ''of  the  city  of  palm  trees  with  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  into  the  wilderness  of  Ju'dah,  which  Ueth  in  the  south 
of  'A'rad  ;  ""and  they  went  and  dwelt  among  tlie  people. 

17  'And  Ju'dah  went  with  Sim'e-on  his  brother,  and  they 
slew  the  Ca'naan-ites  that  inhabited  Ze'phath,  and  utterly 
destroyed  it.     And  the  name  of  the  city  was  called  'Hor'mah. 

18  Also  Ju'dah  took  "Ga'za  with  the  coast  thereof,  and 
As'ke-lon  with  the  coast  thereof,  and  Ek'ron  with  the  coast 
thereof. 

19  And  ''^he  Lord  was  with  Ju'dah ;  and  ||  he  drave  out 
the  inhabitants  of  the  mountain ;  but  could  not  drive  out 
the  inhabitants  of  the  valley,  because  they  had  "chariots 
of  iron. 

20  'And  they  gave  He'bron  unto  Ca'leb,  as  Mo'ses  said : 
and  he  expelled  thence  the  three  sons  of  A'nak. 

21  "And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  did  not  drive  out  the 
Jeb'u-sitesthatinhabitedJe-ru'sa-lem;  butthe  Jeb'u-sites  dwell 
with  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  this  day. 

22  *I[And  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  they  also  went  up  against 
Beth'-el:  'and  the  Lord  was  with  them. 

23  And  the  house  of  Jo'seph  ""sent  to  descry  Beth'-el.  Now 
the  name  of  the  city  before  was  ''Luz. 

24  And  the  spies  saw  a  man  come  forth  out  of  the  city, 
and  they  said  unto  him.  Shew  us,  we  pray  thee,  the  entrance 
into  the  city,  and  'we  will  shew  thee  mercy. 

25  And  when  he  shewed  them  the  entrance  into  the  city, 
they  smote  the  city  Avith  the  edge  of  the  sword ;  but  they 
let  go  the  man  and  all  his  family. 

26  And  the  man  went  into  the  land  of  the  Hit'tites,  and 
built  a  city,  and  called  the  name  thereof  Luz :  which  is  the 
name  thereof  unto  this  day. 

27  ^•''Neither  did  Ma-nas'seh  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of 
Beth-she'an  and  her  towns,  nor  Ta'a-nach  and  her  towns, 
nor  the  inhabitants  of  Dor  and  her  towns,  nor  the  inhab- 
itants of  Ib'le-am  and  her  towns,  nor  the  inhabitants  of  Me- 
gid'do  and  her  towns :  but  the  Ca'naan-ites  would  dwell  in 
that  land. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Is'ra-el  was  strong,  that 
they  put  the  Ca'naan-ites  to  tribute,  and  did  not  utterly 
drive  theui  out. 

29  ^"Neither  did  E'phra-im  drive  out  the  Ca'naan-ites 
that  dwelt  ie  Ge'zer ;  but  the  Ca'naan-ites  dwelt  in  Ge'zer 
among  them. 

30  ^Neither  did  Zeb'u-lun  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of 
Kit'ron,  nor  the  *inhabitants  of  Na'ha-lol ;  but  the  Ca'naan- 
ites  dwelt  among'  them,  and  became  tributaries. 

31  ^'Neither  did  Ash'er  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of  Ac'cho, 
nor  the  inhabitantfe  of  Zi'don,  nor  of  Ah'lab,  nor  of  Ach'zib, 
nor  of  Hel'bah,  nor  of  A'phik,  nor  of  Re'hob : 

32  But  the  Ash'er-ites  Mwelt  among  the  Ca'naan-ites,  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land :  for  they  did  not  drive  them  out. 

33  ^"Neither  did  Naph'ta-li  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of 
Beth-she'mesh,  nor  the  inhabitants  of  Beth-a'nath ;  but  he 


He'bron  :  (now  the  name  of  He'bron  beforetime  was 
Kir'i-ath-ar'ba:)and  they  smote  She'shai,andA-hi'man, 

1 1  and  Tal'mai.  And  from  thence  he  went  against  the 
inhabitants  of  De'bir.  (Now  the  name  of  De'bir  before- 

12  time  was  Kir'i-ath-se'pher.)  And  Ca'leb  said.  He  that 
smiteth  Kir'i-ath-se'pher,  and  taketh  it,  to  him  will  I 

13  give  Ach'sah  my  daughter  to  wife.  And  Oth'ni-el  the 
son  of  Ke'naz, Ca'leb's  younger  brother,  took  it:  and 

14  he  gave  him  Ach'sah  his  daughter  to  wife.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  she  came  unto  him,  that  she  moved 
him  to  ask  of  her  father  a  field ;  and  she  lighted  down 
from  off  her  ass ;  and  Ca'leb  said  unto  her.  What 

ISwouldest  thou?  And  she  said  unto  him.  Give  me  a 
'blessing ;  for  that  thou  hast  ^set  me  in  the  land  of 
the  South,  give  me  also  springs  of  water.  And  Ca'leb 
gave  her  the  upper  springs  and  the  nether  springs. 

16  And  the  children  of  the  Ken'ite,  Mo'ses'  ^brother 
in  law,  went  up  out  of  ^the  city  of  palm  trees  with 
the  children  of  Ju'dah  into  the  wilderness  of  Ju'dah, 
which  is  in  the  south  of  A'rad ;  and  they  went  and 

17  dwelt  with  the  people.  And  Ju'dah  went  with 
Sim'e-on  his  brother,  and  they  smote  the  Ca'naan-ites 
that   inhabited  Ze'phath,  and  '^utterly  destroyed  it. 

1 8  And  the  name  of  the  city  was  called  ^Hor'mah.  Also 
Ju'dah  took  Ga'za  with  the  border  thereof,  and  Ash'- 
ke-lon  with  the  border  thereof,  and  Ek'ron  with  the 

19  border  thereof.  And  the  Lord  was  with  Ju'dah ;  and 
he  drave  out  the  inhabitants  of  the  hill  country ;  for  he 
could  not  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of  the  valley,  be- 

20  cause  they  had  chariots  of  iron.  And  they  gave  He'- 
bron unto  Ca'leb,  as  Mo'ses  had  spoken :  and  he  drave 

21  out  thence  the  three  sons  of  A'nak.  And  the  children 
of  Ben'ja-min  did  not  drive  out  the  Jeb'u-sites  that  in- 
habited Je-ru'sa-lem:  but  the  Jeb'u-sites  dwelt  with  the 
children  of  Ben'ja-min  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  unto  this  day. 

22  And  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  they  also  went  up 
against  Beth'-el :    and  the   Lord  was  with  them. 

23  And  the  house  of  Jo'seph  sent  to  spy  out  Beth'-el. 
(Now  the   name  of  the  city  beforetime  was  Luz.) 

24  And  the  watchers  saw  a  man  come  forth  out  of  the 
city,  and  they  said  unto  him.  Shew  us,  we  pray  thee, 
the  entrance  into  the  "ity,  and  we  will  deal  kindly 

25  with  thee.  And  he  shewed  them  the  entrance  into 
the  city,  and  they  smote  the  city  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword ;  but  they  let  the  man  go  and  all  his  fem- 

26  ily.  And  the  man  went  into  the  land  of  the  Hit'tites, 
and  built  a  city,  and  called  the  name  thereof  Luz : 
which  is  the  name  thereof  unto  this  day. 

27  And  Ma-nas'seh  did  not  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of 
Beth-she'an  and  her  ^towns,  nor  of  Ta'a-nach  and  her 
towns,  nor  the  inhabitants  of  Dor  and  her  towns,  nor 
the  inhabitants  of  Ib'le-am  and  her  to  wns,  nor  the  in  hab- 
itants of  Me-gid'do  and  her  towns :  but  the  Ca'naan-ites 

28  would  dwell  in  that  land.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Is'ra-el  was  waxen  strong,  that  they  put  the  Ca'naan- 
ites  to  taskwork,  and  did  not  utterly  drive  them  out. 

29  And  E'phra-im  drave  not  out  the  Ca'naan-ites  that 
dwelt  in  Ge'zer;  but  the  Ca'naan-ites  dwelt  in  Ge'zer 
among  them.  • 

30  Zeb'u-lun  drave  not  out  the  inhabitants  of  Kit'ron, 
nor  the  inhabitants  of  Na'ha-lol ;  but  the  Ca'naan-ites

nevertheless,  the  inhabitants  of  Beth-she'mesh  and  of  Beth- 
a'nath  "became  tributaries  unto  them. 

34  And  the  Am'o-rites  forced  the  children  of  Dan  into  the 
mountain :  for  they  would  not  suffer"  them  to  come  down 
to  the  valley: 

35  But  the  Am'o-rites  would  dwell  in  mount  He'res  "in 
Ai'ja-lon,  and  in  Sha-al'bim :  yet  the  hand  of  the  house  of 
Jo'seph  fprevailed,  so  that  they  became  tributaries. 

36  And  the  coast  of  the  Am'o-rites  was  "from  ||the  going 
up  to  A-krab'bim,  from  the  rock,  and  upward. 

CHAF'TKR    II. 

The  Canaanites  are  left  to  prove  Israel. 

AND  an  ||  Angel  of  the  Lord  came  up  from  Gil'gal  "to 
Bo'chim,  and  said,  I  made  you  to  go  up  out  of  E'gypt,  and 
have  brought  you  unto  the  land  which  I  sware  unto  your 
fathers ;  and  ''I  said,  I  will  never  break  my  covenant  with  you. 

2  And  "ye  shall  make  no  league  with  the  inhabitants  of 
this  land ;  ''ye  shall  throw  down  their  altars :  "but  ye  have 
not  obeyed  my  voice;  why  have  ye  done  this? 

3  Wherefore  I  also  said,  I  will  not  drive  them  out  from 
before  you ;  but  they  shall  be  •'as  thorns  in  your  sides,  and 
"their  gods  shall  be  a  'snare  unto  you. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  Angel  of  the  Lord  spake 
these  words  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  that  the  people 
lifted  up  their  voice,  and  wept. 

5  And  they  called  the  name  of  that  place  ||  Bo'chim:  and 
they  sacrificed  there  unto  the  Lord. 

6  ^And  when  'Josh'u-a  had  let  the  people  go,  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  went  every  man  unto  his  inheritance  to  possess 
the  land. 

7  'And  the  people  served  the  Lord  all  the  days  of  Josh'u-a, 
and  all  the  days  of  the  elders  that  foutlived  Josh'u-a,who  had 
seen  all  the  great  works  of  the  Lord,  that  he  did  for  Is'ra-el. 

8  And  'Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  the  servant  of  the  Lord, 
died,  being  a  hundred  and  ten  years  old. 

9  "And  they  buried  him  in  the  border  of  his  inheritance 
in  "Tim'nath-he'res,  in  the  mount  of  E'piira-im,  on  the  north 
side  of  the  hill  Ga'ash. 

10  And  also  all  that  generation  were  gathered  unto  their 
fathers:  and  there  arose  another  generation  after  them, 
which  "knew  not  the  Lord,  nor  yet  the  works  which  he  had 
done  for  Is'ra-el. 

11  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  evil  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  and  served  Ba'al-im : 

12  And  they  "forsook  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers, 
which  brought  them  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  followed 
'other  gods,  of  the  gods  of  the  people  that  were  round  about 
them,  and  'bowed  themselves  unto  them,  and  provoked  the 
Lord  to  anger. 

13  And  they  forsook  the  Lord,  'and  served  Ba'al  and 
Ash'ta-roth. 

14  ^'And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  hot  against  Is'ra-el, 
and  he  "delivered  them  into  the  hands  of  spoilers  that  spoiled 
them,  and  '^he  sold  them  into  the  hands  of  their  enemies 
round  about,  so  that  they  "could  not  any  longer  stand  before 
their  enemies. 

15  Whithersoever  they  went  out,  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
against  them  for  evil,  as  the  Lord  had  said,  and  'as  the  Lord 
had  sworn  unto  them :  and  they  were  greatly  distressed. 

16  ^Nevertheless  "the  Lord  raised  up  judges,  which  fde- 
livered  them  out  of  the  hand  of  those  that  spoiled  them. 

17  And  yet  they  would  not  hearken  unto  their  judges,  but 
they  'went  a  whoring  after  other  gods,  and  bowed  them- 
selves unto  them :  they  turned  quickly  out  of  the  way 
which  their  fathers  walked  in,  obeying  the  commandments 
of  the  Lord  ;  but  they  did  not  so. 

18  And  when  the  Lord  raised  them  up  judges,  then  ''the 
Lord  was  with  the  judge,  and  delivered  them  out  of  the 


dwelt  among  the  Ca'naan-ites,  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land :  nevertheless  the  inhabitants  of  Beth-she'mesh 
and  of  Beth-a'nath  became  tributary  unto  them. 

34  And  the  Am'o-rites  forced  the  children  of  Dan  into 
the  hill  country :  for  they  would  not  suffer  them  to 

35  come  down  to  the  valley :  but  the  Am'o-rites  would 
dwell  in  mount  He'res,  in  Ai'ja-lon,  and  in  Sha-al'bim : 
yet  the  hand  of  the  house  of  Jo'seph  prevailed,  so 

36  that  they  became  tributary.  And  the  border  of  the 
Am'o-rites  was  from  the  ascent  of  A-krab'bim,  from 
'the  rock,  and  upward. 

^  And  Hhe  angel  of  the  Lord  came  up  from  Gil'gal 
to  Bo'chim.  And  he  said,  I  made  you  to  go  up  out 
of  E'gypt,  and  have  brought  you  unto  the  land 
which    I   sware   unto   your  fathers;  and   I   said,  I 

2 will  never  break  my  covenant  with  you:  and  ye 
shall  make  no  covenant  with  the  inhabitants  of  this 
land;  ye  shall  break  down  their  altars:  but  ye  have 
not    hearkened    unto    my    voice :     why    have    ye 

3 done  this?  Wherefore  I  also  said,  I  will  not  drive 
them  out  from  before  you;  but  they  'shall  be  *as 
thorns  in  your  sides,  and  their  gods  shall  be  a  snare 

4  unto  you.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  spake  these  words  unto  all  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  the  people  lifted  up  their  voice,  and 

5  wept.  And  they  called  the  name  of  that  place 
'Bo'chim :  and  they  sacrificed  there  unto  the  Lord. 

6  Now  when  Josh'u-a  had  sent  the  people  away,  the 
children  of  Is'i-a-el  went  every  man  unto  his  inher- 

7  itance  to  possess  the  land.  ""And  the  people  served 
the  Lord  all  the  days  of  Joi3h'u-a,  and  all  the  days  of 
the  elders  that  outlived  Josh'u-a,  who  had  seen  all 
the  great  work  of  the  Lord,  that  he  had  wrought 

8  for  Is'ra-el.  And  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun,  the  serv- 
ant of  the  Lord,  died,  being  an  hundred  and  ten 

9  years  old.  And  they  buried  him  in  the  border  of 
his  inheritance  in  Tim'nath-he'res,  in  the  hill  country 
of  E'phra-im,  on  the  north  of  the  mountain  of  Ga'ash 

10  And  also  all  that  generation  were  gathered  unto 
their  fathers:  and  there  arose  another  generation 
after  them,  which  knew  not  the  Lord,  nor  yet  the 
work  which  he  had  wrought  for  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  .sight  of  the  Lord,  and  served  the  Ba'al-im: 

12 and  they  forsook  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers, 
which  brought  them  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and 
followed  other  gods,  of  the  gods  of  the  peoples  that 
were  round  about  them,  and  bowed  themselves  down 
unto  them :   and  they  provoked  the  Lord  to  anger. 

13  And  they  forsook  the  Lord,  and  served  Ba'al  and  the 

14  Ash'ta-roth.  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled 
against  Is'ra-el,  and  he  delivered  them  into  the  hands 
of  spoilers  that  spoiled  them,  and  he  sold  them  into 
the  hands  of  their  enemies  round  about,  so  that  they 
could  not   any  longer  stand  before   their   enemies. 

15  Whithersoever  they  went  out,  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  against  them  for  evil,  as  the  Lord  had  spoken, 
and  as  the  Lord  had  sworn   unto   them:  and  they 

16  were  sore  distressed.  And  the  Lord  raised  up 
judges,  which  saved  them  out  of  the  hand  of  those 

17  that  spoiled  them.  And  yet  they  hearkened  not 
unto  their  judges,  for  they  went  a  whoring  after 
other  gods,  and  bowed  themselves  down  unto  them : 
they  turned  aside  quickly  out  of  the  way  wherein 
their   fathers   walked,   obeying  the   commandments 

18 of  the  Lord;  but  they  did  not  so.  And  when 
the  Lord  raised  them  up  judges,  then  the  Lord! 
was  with  the  judge,  and  saved  them    out  of  the!

CHAPTER    III. 

By  communion  with  other  nations  Israel  committeth  idolatry. 


OW   these  are  "the    nations  which  the  Lord  left,  to 
prove  Is'ra-el  by  them,  even  as  many  oj  Islra-el  as  had 
not  known  all  the  wars  of  Ca'naan ; 

2  Only  that  the  generations  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  might 
know  to  teach  them  war,  at  the  least  such  as  before  knew 
nothing  thereof; 

3  Namely, *'?i\Q  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  andall  the  Ca'naan-ites, 
and  the  Si-do'ni-ans,  and  the  Hi'vites  that  dwelt  in  mount  Leb'a- 
non,  from  mount  Ba'al-her'mon  unto  the  enteringin  of  Ha'math. 

4  "And  they  were  to  prove  Is'ra-el  by  them,  to  know  whether 
they  would  hearken  unto  the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
which  he  commanded  their  fathers  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

5  ^''And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  dwelt  among  the  Ca'naan- 
ites,  Hit'tites,  and  Am'o-rites,  and  Per'iz-zites,  and  Hi'vites, 
and  Jeb'u-sites : 

6  And  'they  took  their  daughters  to  be  their  wives,  and 
gave  their  daughters  to  their  sons,  and  served  their  gods. 

7  -^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  forgat  the  Lord  their  God,  "and  served  Ba'a-lim 
and  *the  groves. 

8  ^Therefore  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  hot  against  Is'ra-el, 
and  he  'sold  them  into  the  hand  of  *Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im 
king  of  fMes-o-po-ta'mi-a :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
served  Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im  eight  years. 

9  And  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  'cried  unto  the  Lord, 
the  Lord  ""raised  up  a  tdeliverer  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
who  delivered  them,  even  "Oth'ni-el  the  son  of  Ke'naz,  Ca'leb's 
younger  brother. 

10  And  "the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  fcame  upon  him,  and  he 
judged  Is'ra-el,  and  went  out  to  war:  and  the  Lord  deliv- 
ered Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im  king  of  fMes-o-po-ta'mi-a  into  his 
hand ;  and  his  hand  prevailed  against  Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im. 

11  And  the  land  had  rest  forty  years:  and  Oth'niel  the 
son  of  Ke'naz  died. 

12  ^"And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  evil  again  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord  :  and  the  Lord  strengthened  'Eg'lon  the  king 
of  Mo'ab  against  Is'ra-el,  because  they  had  done  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  gathered  unto  him  the  children  of  Ara'mon 
and  'Am'a-lek,  and  went  and  smote  Is'ra-el,  and  possessed 
'the  city  of  palm  trees. 

14  So  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  'served  Eg'lon  the  king  of 
Mo'ab  eighteen  years. 

15  But  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  "cried  unto  the  Lord 
the  Lord  raised  them  up  a  deliverer,  E'hud  the  son  ofGe'ra, 
||a  Ben'ja-mite,  a  man  flcfthanded:  and  by  him  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  sent  a  present  unto  Eg'lon  the  king  of  Mo'ab. 


hand  of  their  enemies  all  the  days  of  the  judge  :  for 
it  repented  the  Lord  because  of  their  groaning  by 
reason  of  them  that  oppressed  them  and  vexed  them, 

19  But  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  judge  was  dead,  that 
they  turned  back,  and  dealt  more  corruptly  than 
their  fathers,  in  following  other  gods  to  serve  them 
and  to  bow  down  unto  them;  'they  ceased  not  from 

20  their  doings,  nor  from  their  stubborn  way.  And 
the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Is'ra-el ; 
and  he  said.  Because  this  nation  have  transgressed 
my  covenant  which  I  commanded  their  fathers,  and 

21  have  not  hearkened  unto  my  voice  ;  I  also  will  not 
henceforth  drive  out  any  from  before  them  of  the 

22  nations  which  Josh'u-a  left  when  he  died :  that  by 
them  I  may  prove  Is'ra-el,  whether  they  will  keep 
the  way  of  the  Lord  to  Avalk  therein,  as  their  fathers 

23  did  keep  it,  or  not.  So  the  Lord  left  those  nations, 
without  driving  them  out  hastily ;  neither  delivered 
he  them  into  the  hand  of  Josh'u-a. 

*5  Now  these  are  the  nations  which  the  Lord  left, 
to  prove  Is'ra-el  by  them,  even  as  many  as  had  not 

2  known  all  the  wars  of  Ca'naan ;  only  that  the  gen 
erations  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  might  know,  to 
teach    them   war,    at    the    least  such  as  beforetime 

3  knew  nothing  thereof;  namely,  the  five  lords  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  all  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and  the 
Zi-do'ni-ans,  and  the  Hi'vites  that  dwelt  in  mount 
Leb'a-non,  from  mount  Ba'al-her'mon  unto  the  enter 

4  ing  in  of  Ha'math.  And  they  were  for  to  prove  Is'ra-el 
by  them,  to  know  whether  they  would  hearken  unto 
the    commandments   of  the  Lord,  which  he  com- 

5  manded  their  fathers  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses.  And 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  dwelt  among  ^the  Ca'naan-ites ; 
the  Hit'tite,  and  the  Am'o-rite,  and  the  Per'iz-zite,  and 

6  the  Hi'vite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site :  and  they  took  their 
daughters  to  be  their  wives,  and  gave  their  own 
daughters  to  their  sons,  and  served  their  gods. 

7  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  forgat  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  served  the  Ba'al-imand'the  Ash'eroth 

8  Therefore  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
Is'ra-el,  and  hesold  them  into  the  hand  of  Cu'shan-rish- 
a-tha'im  king  of  ''Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a :  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  served  Cu'shan-rish-a-tha'im  eight  years. 

9  And  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  the  Lord  raised  up  a  saviour  to  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  who  saved  them,  even  Oth'ni-el  the 

10  son  of  Ke'naz,  Ca'leb's  younger  brother.     And  the 
spirit  of  the  LoRD  came  upon  him,  and  he  judged 
Is'ra-el ;  and  he  went  out  to  war,  and  the  Lord  de 
livered  Cu'shan-rish-a-tha'im  kingoPMes-o-po-ta'mi-a 
into    his    hand :    and    his    hand    prevailed    against 

11  Cu'shan-rish-a-tha'im.  And  the  land  had  rest  forty 
years.     And  Oth'ni-el  the  son  of  Ke'naz  died. 

12  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  again  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  :  and  the  Lord 
strengthened  Eg'lon  the  king  of  Mo'ab  against  Is'- 
ra-el, because  they  had  done  that  which  was  evil  in 

13  the  sight  of  the  Lord.  And  he  gathered  unto  him 
the  children  of  Am'mon  and  Am'a-lek ;  and  he  went 
and  smote  Is'rs-el,  and  they  possessed  the  city  of  palm 

14  trees.     And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  served  Eg'lon  the 

15  king  of  Mo'ab  eighteen  years.  But  when  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord,  the  Lord  raised 
them  up  a  saviour,  E'hud  the  son  of  Ge'ra,  the  Ben'- 
ja-mite, a  man  lefthanded :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
sent  a  present  by  him  unto  Eg'lon  the  king  of  Mo'ab.

16  But  E'hud  made  him  a  dagger  which  had  two  edges, 
of  a  cubit  length ;  and  he  did  gird  it  under  his  raiment 
upon  his  right  thigh. 

17  And  he  brought  the  present  unto  Eg'lon  king  of 
Mo'ab :  and  Eg'lon  was  a  very  fat  man. 

18  And  when  he  had  made  an  end  to  offer  the  present,  he 
sent  away  the  people  that  bare  the  present. 

19  But  he  himself  turned  again  'from  the  ||  quarries  that 
teere  by  Gil'gal,  and  said,  I  have  a  secret  errand  unto  thee, 

0  king :   who  said.  Keep  silence.      And  all  that  stood  by 
hini  went  out  from  him. 

20  And  E'hud  came  unto  him ;  and  he  was  sitting  in  fa 
summer  parlour,  which  he  had  for  himself  alone  :  and  E'hud 
said,  I  have  a  message  from  God  unto  thee.  And  he  arose 
out  of  his  seat. 

21  And  E'hud  put  forth  his  left  hand,  and  took  the  dag- 
ger from  his  right  thigh,  and  thrust  it  into  his  belly : 

22  And  the  haft  also  went  in  after  the  blade ;  and  the  fat 
closed  upon  the  blade,  so  that  he  could  not  draw  the  dag- 
ger out  of  his  belly;  and  ||  the  dirt  came  out. 

23  Then  E'hud  went  forth  through  the  porch,  and  shut 
the  doors  of  the  parlour  upon  him,  and  locked  them. 

24  When  he  was  gone  out,  his  servants  came;  and  when  they 
saw  that,  behold,  the  doors  of  the  parlour  were  locked,  they 
said.  Surely  he  ||  covereth  his  feet  in  his  summer  chamber. 

25  And  they  tarried  till  they  were  ashamed :  and,  behold, 
he  opened  not  the  doors  of  the  parlour ;  therefore  they  took 
a  key,  and  opened  them :  and,  behold,  their  lord  was  fallen 
down  dead  on  the  earth. 

26  And  E'hud  escaped  while  they  tarried,  and  passed  be- 
yond the  quarries,  and  escaped  into  Se'i-rath. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come,  that  "he  blew 
a  trumpet  in  the  'mountain  of  E'phra-im,  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  went  down  with  him  from  the  mount,  and  he 
before  them. 

28  And  he  said  unto  them.  Follow  after  me :  for  "the 
Lord  hath  delivered  your  enemies  the  Mo'ab-ites  into  your 
hand.  And  they  went  down  after  him,  and  took  'the  fords 
of  Jor'dan  toward  Mo'ab,  and  suffered  not  a  man  to  pass  over. 

29  And  they  slew  of  Mo'ab  at  that  time  about  ten  thousand 
men,  all  fli^sty,  and  all  men  of  valour :  and  there  escaped 
not  a  man. 

30  So  Mo'ab  was  subdued  that  day  under  the  hand  of 
Is'ra-el.    And  "the  land  had  rest  fourscore  years. 

31  ^And  after  him  was  ''Sham'gar  the  son  of  A'nath,  which 
slew  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  six  hundred  men  'with  an  oxgoad ; 
■^and  he  also  delivered  "Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  IV.

AND  "the  children  of  Is'ra-el  again  did  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  when  E'hud  was  dead. 

2  And  the  Lord  'sold  them  into  the  hand  of  Ja'bin  king 
of  Ca'naan,  that  reigned  in  "'Ha'zor,  the  captain  of  whose  host 
was  ''Sis'e-ra,  which  dwelt  in  *Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  Gentiles. 

3  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord  :  for  he 
had  nine  hundred  -^chariots  of  iron ;  and  twenty  years  "he 
mightily  oppressed  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  TJAnd  Deb'o-rah,  a  prophetess,  the  wife  of  Lap'i-doth, 
she  judged  Is'ra-el  at  that  time. 

5  ''And  she  dwelt  under  the  palm  tree  of  Deb'o-rah,  be- 
tween Ra'mah  and  Beth'-el  in  mount  E'phra-im  :  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  came  up  to  her  for  judgment. 

6  And  she  sent  and  called  'Ba'rak  the  son  of  A-bin'o-am 
out  *of  Ke'desh-naph'ta-li,  and  said  unto  him,  Hath  not  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  commanded,  saying,  Go  and  draw 
toward  mount  Ta'bor,  and  take  with  thee  ten  thousand 
men  of  the  children  of  Naph'ta-li  and  of  the  children  of 
Zeb'u-lun? 

1  7  And  'I  will  draw  unto  thee,  to  the  ""river  Ki'shon,  Sis'e-ra 


16  And  E'hud  made  him  a  sword  which  had  two  edges, 
of  a  cubit  length ;  and  he  girded  it  under  his  raiment 

17  upon  his  right  thigh.  And  he  offered  the  present 
unto  Eg'lon  king  of  Mo'ab :  now  Eg'lon  was  a  very  fat 

18  man.  And  when  he  had  made  an  end  of  offering 
the  present,  he  sent   away  the  people  that  bare  the 

19  present.  But  he  himself  turned  back  from  the  'quar- 
ries that  were  by  Gil'gal,  and  said,  I  have  a  secret 
errand  unto  thee,  O  king.    And  he  said.  Keep  silence. 

20  And  all  that  stood  by  him  went  out  from  him.  And 
E'hud  came  unto  him ;  and  he  was  sitting  by  him- 
self alone  in  his  ^summer  parlour.  And  E'hud  said, 
I  have   a  message  from   God   unto  thee.      And  he 

21  arose  out  of  his  seat.  And  E'hud  put  forth  his  left 
hand,  and  took  the  sword  from  his  right  thigh,  and 

22 thrust  it  into  his  belly:  and  the  haft  also  went  in 
after  the  blade ;  and  the  fat  closed  upon  the  blade, 
for  he  drew  not  the  sword  out  of  his  belly ;  and  ^it 

23  came  out  behind.  Then  E'hud  went  forth  into  the 
porch,  and  shut  the  doors  of  the  parlour  upon  him, 

24  and  locked  them.  Now  when  he  was  gone  out,  his 
servants  came ;  and  they  saw,  and,  behold,  the  doors 
of  the   parlour  were    locked;  and  they  said.  Surely 

25  he  covereth  his  feet  in  his  summer  chamber.  And 
they  tarried  till  they  were  ashamed :  and,  behold, 
he  opened  not  the  doors  of  the  parlour;  therefore 
they   took  the  key,  and  opened  them :  and,  behold, 

26  their  lord  was  fallen  down  dead  on  the  earth.  And 
E'hud  escaped  while  they  tarried,  and  passed  beyond 

27  the  'quarries,  and  escaped  unto  Se'i-rah.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come,  that  he  blew  a 
trumpet  in  the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im,  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  went  down  with  him  from  the 

28  hill  country,  and  he  before  them.  And  he  said 
unto  them.  Follow  after  me :  for  the  Lord  hath 
delivered  your  enemies  the  Mo'ab-ites  into  your 
hand.  And  they  went  down  after  him,  and  took 
the  fords  of  Jor'dan  ^against  the  Mo'ab-ites,  and  suf- 

29  fered  not  a  man  to  pass  over.  And  they  smote  ot 
Mo'ab  at  that  time  about  ten  thousand  men,  every 
lusty  man,  and  every  man  of  valour ;  and  there  es 

SOcaped  not  a  man.  So  Mo'ab  was  subdued  that  day 
under  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  land  had  rest 
fourscore  years. 

31     And  after  him  was  Sham'gar  the  son  of  A'nath, 
which  smote    of  the  Phi-lis'tines  six  hundred  mi 
with  an  ox  goad;  and  he  also  saved  Is'ra-el. 

+^  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  again  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  when  E'hud  was 

2  dead.  And  the  Lord  sold  them  into  the  hand  of 
Ja'bin  king  of  Ca'naan,  that  reigned  in  Ha'zor;  the 
captain  of  whose  host  was  Sis'e-ra,  which  dwelt  in 

3  Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  ''Gentiles.  And  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord  :  for  he  had  nine  hun- 
dred chariots  of  iron  ;  and  twenty  years  he  mightily 
oppressed  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  Now  Deb'o-rah,  a  prophetess,  the  wife  of  Lap'pi- 

5  doth,  she  judged  Is'ra-el  at  that  time.  And  she 
'dwelt  under  the  palm  tree  of  Deb'o-rah  between 
Ra'mah  and  Beth'-el  in  the  hill"ountry  of  E'phra-im : 
and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  up  to  her  for  judge- 

6ment.  And  she  sent  and  called  Ba'rak  the  son  of 
A-bin'o-am  out  of  Ke'desh-naph'ta-li,  and  said  unto  him, 
Hath  not  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  commanded, 
saying,  Go  and  draw  unto  mount  Ta'bor,  and  take 
with    thee   ten  thousand    men   of  the    children   of 

7  Naph'ta-li  and  of  the  children  of  Zeb'u-lun  ?  And 
I  will  draw  unto  thee  to  the  river  Ki'shon  Sis'e-ra.

the  captain  of  Ja'bin's  army,  with  his  chariots  and  his  mul- 
titude ;  and  I  will  deliver  him  into  thine  hand. 

8  And  Ba'rak  said  unto  her,  If  thou  wilt  go  with  me,  then 
I  will  go :  but  if  thou  Avilt  not  go  with  me,  then  I  will  not  go. 

9  And  she  said,  I  will  surely  go  with  thee:  notwith.standing 
the  journey  that  thou  takest  shall  not  be  for  thine  honour ; 
for  the  Lord  shall  "sell  Sis'e-ra  into  the  hand  of  a  woman. 
And  Deb'o-rah  arose,  and  went  with  Ba'rak  to  Ke'desh. 

10  ^  And  Ba'rak  called  °Zeb'u-lun  and  Naph'ta-li  to  Ke'desh ; 
and  he  went  up  with  ten  thousand  men  "at  his  feet :  and 
Deb'o-rah  went  up  with  him. 

11  Now  He'ber  'the  Ken'ite,  which  was  of  the  children  of 
"■Ho'bab  the  father  in  law  of  Mo'ses,  had  severed  himself 
from  the  Ken'ites,  and  pitched  his  tent  unto  the  plain  of 
Za-a-na'im,  'which  is  by  Ke'desh. 

12  And  they  shewed  Sis'e-ra  that  Ba'rak  the  son  of  A-bin'- 
o-am  was  gone  up  to  mount  Ta'bor. 

13  And  Sis'e-ra  fgathered  together  all  his  chariots,  even 
nine  hundred  chariots  of  iron,  and  all  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  from  Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  Gentiles  unto  the  river 
of  Ki'shon. 

14  And  Deb'o-rah  said  unto  Ba'rak,  Up ;  for  this  is  the  day 
in  which  the  Lord  hath  delivered  Sis'e-ra  into  thine  hand : 
'is  not  the  Lord  gone  out  before  thee  ?  So  Ba'rak  went 
down  from  mount  Ta'bor,  and  ten  thousand  men  after  him. 

15  And  "the  Lord  discomfited  Sis'e-ra,  and  all  his  chariots, 
and  all  his  host,  with  the  edge  of  the  sword  before  Ba'rak ; 
so  that  Sis'e-ra  lighted  down  off  his  chariot,  and  fled  away 
on  his  feet. 

16  But  Ba'rak  pursued  after  the  chariots,  and  after  the 
host,  unto  Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  Gentiles :  and  all  the  host  of 
Sis'e-ra  fell  upon  the  edge  of  the  sword ;  and  there  was  not 
fa  man  left. 

17  Howbeit  Sis'e-ra  fled  away  on  his  feet  to  the  tent 
of  Ja'el  the  wife  of  He'ber  the  Ken'ite :  for  there  was  peace 
between  Ja'bin  the  king  of  Ha'zor  and  the  house  of  He'ber 
the  Ken'ite. 

18  ^And  Ja'el  went  out  to  meet  Sis'e-ra,  and  said  unto 
him,  'Turn  in,  my  lord,  turn  in  to  me ;  fear  not.  And  when 
he  had  turned  in  unto  her  into  the  tent,  she  covered  him 
with  a  II  mantle. 

19  And  he  said  unto  her,  Give  me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little 
water  to  drink ;  for  I  am  thirsty.  And  she  opened  "'a  bottle 
of  milk,  and  gave  him  drink,  and  covered  him. 

20  Again  he  said  unto  her.  Stand  in  the  door  of  the  tent, 
and  it  shall  be,  when  any  man  doth  come  and  inquire  of 
thee,  and  say.  Is  there  any  man  here?  thou  shalt  say,  No. 

21  Then  Ja'el  He'ber's  wife  ''took  a  nail  of  the  tent,  and 
ftook  a  hammer  in  her  hand,  and  went  softly  unto  him, 
and  smote  the  nail  into  his  temples,  and  fastened  it  into  the 
ground :  for  he  was  fast  asleep,  and  weary.     So  he  died. 

22  And,  behold,  as  Ba'rak  pursued  Sis'e-ra,  Ja'el  came  out  to 
meet  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Come,  and  I  will  shew  thee 
the  man  whom  thou  seekest.  And  when  he  came  into  her 
tent,  behold,  Sis'e-ra  lay  dead,  and  the  nail  was  in  his  temples. 

23  So  'God  subdued  on  that  day  Ja'bin  the  king  of  Ca'naan 
before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  the  hand  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  fprospered, 
and  prevailed  against  Ja'bin  the  king  of  Ca'naan,  until  they 
had  destroyed  Ja'bin  king  of  Ca'naan. 

CHAPTER  V. 

The  song  oj  Deborah  and  Barak, 

THEN  "sang  Deb'o-rah  and  Ba'rak  the  son  of  A-bin'o-am 
on  that  day,  saying, 

2  Praise  ye  the  Lcrd  for  the  ''avenging  of  Is'ra-el,  "when 
the  people  willingly  offered  themselves. 

3  ''Hear,  O  ye  kings ;  give  ear,  O  ye  princes ;  I,  even  I, 
will  sing  unto  the  Lord  ;  I  will  sing  praise  to  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el. 


the  captain  of  Ja'bin's  army,  with  his  chariots  and  his 
multitude;  and  I  will  deliver  him  into  thine  hand. 

8  And  Ba'rak  said  unto  her.  If  thou  wilt  go  with  me, 
then  I  will  go :  but  if  thou  wilt  not  go   with  me,  T 

9  will  not  go.  And  she  said,  I  will  surely  go  with 
thee :  notwithstanding  the  journey  that  thou  takest 
shall  not  be  for  thine  honour;  for  the  Lord  shall 
sell  Sis'e-ra  into  the  hand  of  a  woman.     And  Deb'- 

lOo-rah  arose,  and  went  with  Ba'rak  to  Ke'desh.  And 
Ba'rak  called  Zeb'u-lun  and  Naph'ta-li  together  to 
Ke'desh;  and  there  went  up  ten  thousand  men  at 

11  his  feet:  and  Deb'o-rah  went  up  with  him.  Now 
He'ber  the  Ken'ite  had  severed  himself  from  'the 
Ken'ites,  even  from  the  children  of  Ho'bab  the 
^brother  in  law  of  Mo'ses,  and  had  pitched  his  tent 
as  far  as  the  ^oak  in  ^Za-a-nan'nim,  which  is  by  Ke'- 

12desh.    And  they  told  Sis'e-ra  that  Ba'rak  the  son  of 

13  A-bin'o-am  was  gone  up  to  mount  Ta'bor.  And 
Sis'e-ra  gathered  together  all  his  chariots,  even  nine 
hundred  chariots  of  iron,  and  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  from   Ha-ro'sheth  of  the  ^Gentiles, 

14  unto  the  river  Ki'shon.  And  Deb'o-rah  said  unto 
Ba'rak,  Up;  for  this  is  the  day  in  which  the  Lord 
hath  delivered  Sis'e-ra  into  thine  hand :  is  not  the 
Lord  gone  out  before  thee  ?  So  Ba'rak  went  down 
from  mount  Ta'bor,  and  ten  thousand  men  after  him. 

15  And  the  Lord  discomfited  Sis'e-ra,  and  all  his  chariots, 
and  all  his  host,  with  the  edge  of  the  sword  before 
Ba'rak ;  and  Sis'e-ra  lighted  down  from  his  chariot, 

16  and  fled  away  on  his  feet.  But  Ba'rak  pursued  after 
the  chariots,  and  after  the  host,  unto  Ha-ro'sheth  of 
the  'Gentiles:  and  all  the  host  of  Sis'e-ra  fell  by  the 
edge  of  the  sword ;  there  was  not  a  man  left. 

17  Howbeit  Sis'er-a  fled  away  on  his  feet  to  the  tent 
of  Ja'el  the  wife  of  He'ber  the  Ken'ite :  for  there  was 
peace  between  Ja'bin  the  king  of  Ha'zor  and  the 

18  house  of  He'ber  the  Ken'ite.  And  Ja'el  went  out  to 
meet  Sis'e-ra,  and  said  unto  him.  Turn  in,  my  lord, 
turn  in  to  me ;  fear  not.     And  he  turned  in  unto  her 

19  into  the  tent,  and  she  covered  him  with  a  rug.  And 
he  said  unto  her.  Give  me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water 
to  drink ;  for  I  am  thirsty.  And  she  opened  a  bottle 
of  milk,  and    gave  him    drink,   and    covered  him. 

20  And  he  said  unto  her.  Stand  in  the  door  of  the  tent, 
and  it  shall  be,  when  any  man  doth  come  and  in- 
quire of  thee,  and  say,  Is  there  any  man  here  ?  that 

21  thou  shalt  say,  No.  Then  Ja'el  He'ber's  wife  took  a 
tent-pin,  and  took  an  hammer  in  her  hand,  and  went 
softly  unto  him,  and  smote  the  pin  into  his  temples, 
and  it  pierced  through  into  the  ground ;  for  he  was 

22 'in  a  deep  sleep;  so  he  swooned  and  died.  And, 
behold,  as  Ba'rak  pursued  Sis'e-ra,  Ja'el  came  out  to 
meet  him,  and  said  unto  him,  Come,  and  I  will  shew 
thee  the  man  whom  thou  seekest.  And  he  came 
unto  her ;  and,  behold,  Sis'er-a  lay  dead,  and  the  tent- 

23  pin  was  in  his  temples.  So  God  subdued  on  that 
day  Ja'bin  the  king  of  Ca'naan  before  the  children  of 

24  Is'ra-el.  And  the  hand  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  pre- 
vailed more  and  more  against  Ja'bin  the  king  of  Ca'- 
naan, until  they  had  destroyed  Ja'bin  king  of  Ca'naan. 

O  Then  sang  Deb'o-rah  and  Ba'rak  the  son  of  A-bin'- 
o-am on  that  day,  saying, 

2  For  that  the  leaders  took  the  lead  in  Is'ra-el, 
For  that  the  people  offered  themselves  willingly. 
Bless  ye  the  Lord. 

3  Hear,  O  ye  kings ;  give  ear,  O  ye  princes ; 
I,  even  I,  will  sing  unto  the  Lord; 

I  -will  sing  praise  to  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.

thou  marchedst  out  of  the  field  of  E'dom, -^the  earth 
trembled,  and  the  heavens  dropped,  the  clouds  also 
dropped  water. 

5  "The  mountains  fmelted  from  before  the  Lord, 
even  *that  Si'nai  from  before  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  In  the  days  of 'Sham'gar  the  son  of  A'nath,  in  the 
days  of  *Ja'el,  'the  highways  were  unoccupied,  and  the 
ftravellers  walked  through  fbyways. 

7  The  inhabitants  of  the  villages  ceased,  they  ceased 
in  Is'ra-el,  until  that  I  Deb'o-rah  arose,  that  I  arose  "a 
mother  in  Is'ra-el. 

8  They  "chose  new  gods ;  then  was  war  in  the  gates : 
"was  there  a  shield  or  spear  seen  among  forty  thousand 
in  Is'ra-el  ? 

9  My  heart  is  toward  the  governors  of  Is'ra-el  that 
"offered  themselves  willingly  among  the  people.  Bless 
ye  the  Lord. 

10  ll'Speak,  ye  'that  ride  on  white  asses,  'ye  that  sit 
in  judgment,  and  walk  by  the  way. 

11  They  that  are  delivered  from  the  noise  of  archers 
in  the  places  of  drawing  water,  there  shall  they  re- 
hearse the  t'righteous  acts  of  the  Lord,  even  the 
righteous  acts  toward  the  inhabitants  of  his  villages  in 
Is'ra-el :  then  shall  the  people  of  the  Lord  go  down  to 
the  gates. 

12  "Awake,  awake,  Deb'o-rah:  awake,  awake,  utter  a 
song  :  arise,  Ba'rak,  and  "lead  thy  captivity  captive,  thou 
son  of  A-bin'o-am. 

13  Then  he  made  him  that  remaineth  "have  dominion 
over  the  nobles  among  the  people :  the  Lord  made  me 
have  dominion  over  the  mighty. 

14  'Out  of  E'phra-im  was  there  a  root  of  them 
"against  Am'a-lek ;  after  thee,  Ben'ja-min,  among  thy 
people;  out  of  ''Ma'chir  came  down  governors,  and 
out  of  Zeb'u-lun  they  that  fhandle  the  pen  of  the 
writer. 

15  And  the  princes  of  Is'sa-char  were  with  Deb'o-rah ; 
even  Is'sa-char,  and  also  "Ba'rak  :  he  was  sent  on  f  foot 
into  the  valley.  ||For  the  divisions  of  Reu'ben  there 
were  great  f  thoughts  of  heart. 

16  AVhy  abodest  thou  ''among  the  sheepfolds,  to 
hear  the  bleatings  of  the  flocks?  ||  For  the  divisions 
of  Reu'ben  there  were  great  searchings  of  heart. 

17  "Gil'e-ad  abode  beyond  Jor'dan  :  and  why  did  Dan 
remain  in  ships?  -^Ash'er  continued  on  the  sea  |1  shore, 
and  abode  in  his  ||  breaches. 

18  "Zeb'u-lun  and  Naph'ta-li  were  a  people  thaty^eoT^ 
arded  their  lives  unto  the  death  in  the  high  places  of 
the  field. 

19  The  kings  came  and  fought;  then  fought  the 
kings  of  Ca'naan  in  Ta'a-nach  by  the  waters  of  Me-gid'do ; 
''they  took  no  gain  of  money. 

20  'They  fought  from  heaven ;  *the  stars  in  their

21  'The  river  of  Ki'shon  swept  them  away,  that  an- 
cient river,  the  river  Ki'shon.  O  my  soul,  thou  hast 
trodden  down  strength. 

22  Then  were  the  horsehoofs  broken  by  the  means 
of  the  II  prancings,  the  prancings  of  their  mighty 
ones. 

23  Curse  ye  Me'roz,  said  the  angel  of  the  Lord, 
curse  ye  bitterly  the  inhabitants  thereof;  "'because 
they  came  not  to  the  helj)  "of  the  Lord,  to  the  help 
of  the  Lord  against  the  mighty. 


4  Lord,  when  thou  wentest  forth  out  of  Se'ir, 
When  thou  marchedst  out  of  the  field  of  E'dom, 
The  earth  trembled,  the  heavens  also  dropped, 
Yea,  the  clouds  dropped  water. 

5  The  mountains  'flowed  down  at  the  presence  of  the  Lord, 
Even  yon  Si'nai  at  the  presence  of  the  Lord,  the  God 

of  Is'ra-el. 

6  In  the  days  of  Sham'gar  the  son  of  A'nath, 

In  the  days  of  Ja'el,  ^the  high  ways  were  unoccupied, 
And  the  travellers  walked  through  'byways. 

7  ■'The  rulers  ceased  in  Is'ra-el,  they  ceased, 
Until  that  I  Deb'o-rah  arose. 

That  I  arose  a  mother  in  Is'ra-el. 

8  They  chose  new  gods ; 
Then  was  war  in  the  gates; 
Was  there  a  shield  or  spear  seen 
Among  forty  thousand  in  Is'ra-el  ? 

9  My  heart  is  toward  the  governors  of  Is'ra-el, 

^That  offered  themselves  willingly  among  the  people  : 
Bless  ye  the  Lord. 

10  Tell  of  it,  ye  that  ride  on  white  asses, 
Ye  that  sit  on  rich  carpets, 

And  ye  that  walk  by  the  way. 

11  ^Far  from  the  noise  of  archers,  in  the  places  of  drawiug 

water, 
There  shall  they  rehearse  the  righteous  acts  of  the  Lord, 
Even  the  righteous  acts  ^of  his  rule  in  Is'ra-el. 
Then  the  people  of  the  Lord  went  down  to  the  gates. 

12  Awake,  awake,  Deb'o-rah ; 
Awake,  awake,  utter  a  song ; 

Arise,  Ba'rak,  and  lead  thy  captivity  captive,  thou  son 
of  A-bin'o-am. 

13  *Then  came  down  a  remnant  of  the  nobles  ''and  the  people ; 
The  Lord  came  down  for  me  '"against  the  mighty. 

14  Out  of  E'phra-im  came  down  "they  whose  root  is  in 

Am'a-lek ; 
After  thee,  Ben'ja-min,  among  thy  peoples  ; 
Out  of  Ma'chir  came  down  '^governors. 
And  out  of  Zeb'u-lun  they  that  handle  "the  marshal's  staff. 

15  And  'Hhe  princes  of  Is'sa-char  were  with  Deb'o-rah ; 
As  was  Is'sa-char,  so  was  Ba'rak; 

Into  the  valley  they  rushed  forth  at  his  feet. 
By  the  watercourses  of  Reu'ben 
There  were  great  resolves  of  heart. 

16  Why  satest  thou  among  the  sheepfolds, 
To  hear  the  pipings  for  the  flocks? 

At  the  watercourses  of  Reu'ben 
There  were  great  searchings  of  heart. 

17  Gil'e-ad  abode  beyond  Jor'dan  : 

And  Dan,  why  did  he  remain  in  ships  ? 
Ash'er  sat  still  at  the  '■'^haven  of  the  sea, 
And  abode  by  his  creeks.  [the  death, 

18  Zeb'u-lun  was  a  people  that  jeoparded  their  lives  unto 
And  Naph'ta-li,  upon  the  high  places  of  the  field. 

19  The  kings  came  and  fought; 
Then  fought  the  kings  of  Ca'naan, 

In  Ta'a-nach  by  the  waters  of  Me-gid'do : 
They  took  no  gain  of  money. 

20  They  fought  from  heaven. 

The  stars  in  their  courses  fought  against  Sis'e-ra. 

21  The  fiver  Ki'shon  swept  them  away, 
That  ancient  river,  the  river  Ki'shon. 
O  my  soul,  '^marcli  on  with  strength. 

22  Then  did  the  horsehoofs  stamp  [ones. 
By  reason  of  the  pransings,  the  pransings  of  their  strong 

23  Curse  ye  Me'roz,  said  the  angel  of  the  Lord, 
Curse  ye  bitterly  the  inhabitants  thereof; 
Because  they  came  not  to  the  help  of  the  Lord, 
To  the  help  of  the  Lord  '"against  the  mighty.

26  ''She  put  her  hand  to  the  nail,  and  her  right  hand  to

Sis'e-ra,  she  smote  off  his  head,  when  she  had  pierced  and

CHAPTER    VI. 

I  Tt'ie  Israelites  are  oppressed  for  their  sin—Joash  defendeth  his  son. 

NP  "the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
LoED :  and  the  Lord  delivered  them  into  the  hand  'of 
Mid'i-an  seven  years. 

2  And  the  hand  of  Mid'i-anf  prevailed  againstls'ra-el:  andbe- 
cause  of  theMid'i-an-ites  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  made  them'^the 
dens  which  are  in  tho  mountains,  and  caves,  and  strong  holds. 

3  And  so  it  waa,  when  Is'ra-el  had  sown,  that  the  Mid'i-an- 
ites  came  up,  and  ''the  Ara'a  lek-ites,  'and  the  children  of  the 
east,  even  they  came  up  against  them  ; 

4  And  they  encamped  against  them,  and  -^destroyed  the 
increase  of  the  earth,  till  thou  come  unto  Ga'za,  and  left  no 
sustenance  for  Is'ra-el,  neither  ||  sheep,  nor  ox,  nor  ass. 

5  For  they  came  up  with  their  cattle  and  their  tents,  and 
they  came  "as  grasshoppers  for  multitude;  for  both  they 
and  their  camels  were  without  number:  and  they  entered 
into  the  land  to  destroy  it. 

6  And  Is'ra-el  was  greatly  impoverished  because  of  the 
Mid'i-an- ites;  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-ePcried  unto  the  Lord. 

7  ^And  it  came  to  pass  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cried 
unto  the  Lord  because  of  the  Mid'ian-ites, 

8  That  the  IjORD  sent  fa  prophet  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  I  brought  you  up  from  E'gypt,  and  brought  you  forth 
out  of  the  house  of  bondage  ; 

9  And  I  delivered  you  out  of  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians, 
and  out  of  the  hand  of  all  that  oppressed  you,  and  'drave 
them  out  from  before  you,  and  gave  you  their  land; 

10  And  I  said  unto  you,  I  am  the  Lord  your  God;  *fear 
not  the  gods  of  the  Am'o-rites,  in  whose  land  ye  dwell :  but 
ye  have  not  obeyed  my  voice. 

11  ^And  there  came  an  angel  of  the  Lord,  and  sat  under 
an  oak  which  was  in  Oph'rah,  that  'pertained  unto  Jo'ash  'the 
A-bi-ez'rite :  and  his  son  "Gid'e-on  threshed  wheat  by  the 
winepress,  fto  hide  it  from  the  Mid'ian-ites. 

12  And  the  "angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  The  Lord  i»  "with  thee,  thou  mighty  man  of  valour. 

13  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  him,  O  my  Lord,  if  the  Lord 
be  with  us,  why  then  is  all  this  befallen  us  ?  and  "where  he

Through  the  window  she  looked  forth,  and  cried. 
The  mother  of  Sis'e-ra  cried  through  the  lattice. 
Why  is  his  chariot  so  long  in  coming? 
Why  tarry  the  ""wheels  of  his  chariots? 
Her  wise  ladies  answered  her, 
°Yea,  she  returned  answer  to  herself. 
Have  they  not  found,  have  they  not  divided  the  spoil  ? 
A  damsel,  two  damsels  to  every  man ; 
To  Sis'e-ra  a  spoil  of  Mivers  colours, 
A  spoil  of  Mivers  colours  of  embroidery, 
Of  Mivers  colours  of  embroidery  on  both  sides,  on 

the  necks  of  the  spoil? 
So  let  all  thine  enemies  perish,  O  Lord  : 
But  let  them  that  love  him  be  as  the  sun  when  he 

goeth  forth  in  his  might. 
And  the  land  had  rest  forty  years.

And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  :  and  the  Lord  delivered  them 

2  into  the  hand  of  Mid'i-an  seven  years.  And  the  hand  of 
Mid'i-an  prevailed  against  Is'ra-el:  and  because  of  Mid'- 
i-an the  children  of  Is'ra-el  made  them  the  dens  which  are 
in  the  mountains,  and  the  caves,  and  the  strong  holds 

3  And  so  it  was, when  Is'r-ael  had  sown,  that  the  Mid'i-an- 
ites  came  up,  and  the  Am'a- lek-ites,  and  the  children  of 

4 the  east;  they  came  up  against  them;  and  they  en 
camped  against  them,and  destroyed  the  increaseof  the 
earth,  till  thou  come  unto  Ga'za,  and  left  no  sustenance 

6  in  Is'ra-el,  neither  sheep,  nor  ox,  nor  ass.  For  they  came 
up  with  their  cattle  and  their  tents,  they  came  in  as  lo- 
custs for  multitude ;  both  they  and  their  camels  were 
without  number :  and  they  came  into  the  land  to  de- 

6  stroy  it.  And  Is'ra-el  was  brought  very  low  because  of 
Mid'i-an;  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  children  of  Is'«a-el 

8  cried  unto  Lord  because  of  Mid'i-an,  that  the 
Lord  sent  a  prophet  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  ai  d 
he  said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  I  brought  you  up  from  E'gypt,  and  brought 

9 you  forth  out  of  the  house  of  bondage;  and  I  deliv- 
ered you  out  of  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  out 
of  the  hand  of  all  that  oppressed  you,  and  drave  them 

10  out  from  before  you,  and  gave  you  their  land ;  and  I 
said  unto  you,  I  am  the  Lord  your  God ;  ye  shall 
not  fear  the  gods  of  the  Am'o-rites,  in  whose  land  ye 
dwell :  but  ye  have  not  hearkened  unto  my  voice. 

11  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came,  and  sat  under 
the  ^oak  which  was  in  Oph'rah,  that  pertained  un- 
to Jo'ash  the  A-bi-ez'rite :  and  his  son  Gid'e-on  was 
beating  out  wheat  in  the  winepress,  to  hide  it  from  the 

12Mid'i-an-ites.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  appeared 
unto  him,  and  said  unto  him.  The  Lord  is  with  thee, 

13  thou  mighty  man  of  valour.  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto 
him.  Oh  my  lord,  if  the  Lord  be  with  us,  why  then 
is  all  this  befallen  us?  and  where  be  all  his  wondrous 
works  which  our  fathers  told  us  of,  saying.  Did  not

the  Lord  bring  us  up  from  E'gypt?  but  now  tke  Lord 
hath  'forsaken  us,  and  delivered  us  into  the  hands  of  the 
Mid'i-an-ites. 

14  And  the  Lord  looked  upon  him,  and  said,  'Go  in  this 
thy  might,  and  thou  shalt  save  Is'ra-el  from  the  hand  of  the 
Mid'i-an-ites:  'have  not  I  sent  thee? 

15  And  he  said  unto  him,  O  my  Lord,  wherewith  shall  I 
save  Is'ra-el  ?  behold,  "t^y  family  is  poor  in  Ma-nas'seh, 
and  I  am  the  least  in  my  father's  house. 

16  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  ""Surely  I  will  be  with 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  smite  the  Mid'i-an-ites  as  one  man. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  If  now  I  have  found  grace  in 
thy  sight,  then  "shew  me  a  sign  that  thou  talkest  with  me. 

18  ^Depart  not  hence,  I  pray  thee,  until  I  come  unto  thee, 
and  bring  forth  my  ||  present,  and  set  it  before  thee.  And 
he  said,  I  will  tarry  until  thou  come  again. 

19  ^"And  Gid'e-on  went  in,  and  made  ready  fa  kid,  and 
unleavened  cakes  of  an  ephah  of  flour:  the  flesh  he  put  in 
a  basket,  and  he  put  the  broth  in  a  pot,  and  brought  it  out 
unto  him  under  the  oak,  and  presented  it. 

20  And  the  angel  of  God  said  unto  him.  Take  the  flesh 
and  the  unleavened  cakes,  and  ''lay  them  upon  this  rock, 
and  ""pour  out  the  broth.     And  he  did  so. 

21  ^Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord  put  forth  the  end  of  the 
staff  that  was  in  his  hand,  and  touched  the  flesh  and  the  un- 
leavened cakes;  and  ''there  rose  up  fire  out  of  the  rock,  and 
consumed  the  flesh  and  the  unleavened  cakes.  Then  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  departed  out  of  his  sight. 

22  And  when  Gid'e-on  ""perceived  that  he  was  an  angel  of 
the  Lord,  Gid'e-on  said,  Alas,  O  Lord  God  !  -'^for  because  I 
have  .seen  an  angel  of  the  Lord  face  to  face. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  'Peace  be  unto  thee ;  fear 
not :  thou  shalt  not  die. 

24  Then  Gid'e-on  built  an  altar  there  unto  the  Lord,  and 
called  it  ||  Je-ho'vah-sha'lom :  unto  this  day  itts  yet*in  Oph'- 
rah  of  the  A-bi-ez'rites. 

25  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same  night,  that  the  Lord  said 
unto  him.  Take  thy  father's  young  bullock,  ||  even  the  second 
bullock  of  seven  years  old,  and  throw  down  the  altar  of  Ba'al 
that  thy  father  hath,  and  'cut  down  the  grove  that  is  by  it : 

26  And  build  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  thy  God  upon  the 
top  of  this  frock,  ||  in  the  ordered  place,  and  take  the  second 
bullock,  and  offer  a  burnt  sacrifice  with  the  wood  of  the 
grove  which  thou  shalt  cut  down. 

27  Then  Gid'e-on  took  ten  men  of  his  servants,  and  did  as 
the  Lord  had  said  unto  him:  and  so  it  was,  because  he 
feared  his  father's  household,  and  the  men  of  the  city,  that 
he  could  not  do  it  by  day,  that  he  did  it  by  night. 

28  ^And  when  the  men  of  the  city  arose  early  in  the 
morning,  behold,  the  altar  of  Ba'al  was  cast  down,  and  the 
grove  was  cut  down  that  was  by  it,  and  the  second  bullock 
was  offered  upon  the  altar  that  was  built. 

29  And  they  said  one  to  another.  Who  hath  done  this 
thing?  And  when  they  inquired  and  asked,  they  said, 
Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash  hath  done  this  thing. 

30  Then  the  men  of  the  city  said  unto  Jo'ash,  Bring  out  thy 
son,  that  he  may  die :  because  he  hath  cast  down  the  altar  of 
Ba'al,  and  because  he  hath  cut  down  the  grove  that  was  by  it. 

31  And  Jo'ash  said  unto  all  that  stood  against  him.  Will 
ye  plead  for  Ba'al?  will  ye  save  him?  he  that  will  plead  for 
him,  let  him  be  put  to  death  whilst  it  is  yet  morning :  if  he 
be  a  god,  let  him  plead  for  himself,  because  one  hath  cast 
down  his  altar. 

32  Therefore  on  that  day  he  called  him  ||  *Je-rub'ba-al,  say- 
ing, Let  Ba'al  plead  against  him,  because  he  hath  thrown 
down  his  altar.   • 

33  ^Theu  all  'the  Mid'i-an-ites  and  the  Am'a-lek-ites  and 
the  children  of  the  east  were  gathered  together,  and  went 
over,  and  pitched  in  "the  valley  of  Jez're-el. 


the  lyORD  bring  ns  np  from  E'gypt?  but  now  the 
Lord  hath  cast  us  off,  and  delivered  us  into  the 

14  hand  of  Mid'i-an.  And  the  Lord  'looked  upon  him, 
and  said.  Go  in  this  thy  might,  and  save  Is'ra-el  from 

15 the  hand  of  Mid'i-an:  have  not  I  sent  thee?  And 
he  said  unto  him.  Oh  Lord,  wherewith  shall  I  save 
Is'ra-el  ?  behold,  my  ^family  is  the  poorest  in  Ma-nas'- 

16seh,  and  I  am  the  least  in  my  father's  house.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Surely  I  will  be  with  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  smite  the  Mid'i-an-ites  as  one  man. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  If  now  I  have  found  grace  in 
thy  sight,  then  shew  me  a  sign  that  it  is  thou  that  talk- 

18  est  with  me.  Depart  not  hence,  I  pray  thee,  until  I 
come  unto  thee,  and  bring  forth  my  ^present,  and  lay 
it  before  thee.     And  he  said,  I  will  tarry  until  thou 

19  come  again.  And  Gid'e-on  went  in,  and  made  ready 
a  kid,  and  unleavened  cakes  of  an  ephah  of  meal : 
the  flesh  he  put  in  a  basket,  and  he  put  the  broth  in 
a  pot,  and  brought  it  out  unto  him  under  the  *oak,  and 

20  presented  it.  And  the  angel  of  God  said  unto  him, 
Take  the  flesh  and  the  unleavened  cakes,  and  lay 
them  upon  this  rock,  and  pour  out  the  broth.     And 

21  he  did  so.  Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord  put  forth  the 
end  of  the  staff  that  was  in  his  hand,  and  touched  the 
flesh  and  the  unleavened  cakes ;  and  there  went  up  fire 

•  out  of  the  rock,  and  consumed  the  flesh  and  the  un- 
leavened cakes ;  and  the  angel  of  the  Lord  departed 

22  out  of  his  sight.  And  Gid'e-on  saw  that  he  was  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  ;  and  Gid'e-on  said,  Alas,  O  Lord 
God  !  forasmuch  as  I  have  seen  the  angel  of  the  Lord 

23  face  to  face.     And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Peace  be 

24  unto  thee ;  fear  not :  thou  shalt  not  die.  Then  Gid'e-on 
built  an  altar  there  unto  the  Lord,  and  called  it  'Je- 
ho'vah-sha'lom  :  unto  this  day  it  is  yet  in  Oph'rah  of 
the  A-bi-ez'rites. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same  night,  that  the  Lord 
said  unto  him.  Take  thy  father's  bullock,  *even  the 
second  bullock  of  .seven  years  old,  and  throw  down 
the  altar  of  Ba'al  that  thy  father  hath,  and  cut  down 

26 the  'Ash'e-rah  that  is  'by  it:  and  build  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God  upon  the  top  of  this  strong  hold, 
'in  the  orderly  manner,  and  take  the  second  bullock, 
and  offer  a  burnt  offering  with  the  wood  of  the  Ash'- 

27  e-rah  which  thou  shalt  cut  down.  Then  Gid'e-on  took 
ten  men  of  his  servants,  and  did  as  the  Lord  had 
spoken  unto  him :  and  it  came  to  pass,  because  he 
feared  his  father's  household  and  the  men  of  the  city, 
so  that  he  could  not  do  it  by  day,  that  he  did  it  by 

28  night.  And  when  the  men  of  the  city  arose  early  in 
the  morning,  behold,  the  altar  of  Ba'al  was  broken 
down,  and  the  Ash'e-rah  was  cut  down  that  was  *by  it, 
and  the  second  bullock  was  offered  upon  the  altar  that 

29  was  built.  And  they  said  one  to  another.  Who  hath 
done  this  thing?  And  when  they  inquired  and  asked, 
they  said,  Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash  hath  done  this 

30  thing.  Then  the  men  of  the  city  said  unto  Jo'ash, 
Bring  out  thy  son,  that  he  may  die :  because  he  hath 
broken  down  the  altar  of  Ba'al,  and  because  he  hath 

31  cut  down  the  Ash'e-rah  that  was  'by  it.  And  Jo'ash 
.said  unto  all  that  stood  against  him.  Will  ye  plead  for 
Ba'al  ?  or  will  ye  save  him?  he  that  will  plead  for  him, 
"let  him  be  put  to  death  "whilst  it  is  yet  morniug : 
if  he  be  a  god,  let  him  plead  for  himself,  because  one 

32  hath  broken  down  his  altar.  Therefore  on  that  day 
he  called  him  '^Je-rub'ba-al,  saying.  Let  Ba'al  plead 
against  him,  because  he  hath  broken  down  his  altar. 

33  Thenallthe  Mid'i-an-ites  and  the  Am'a-lek-ites  and  the 
children  of  the  east  assembled  themselves  together;  and 
they  passed  over,  and  pitched  in  the  valley  of  Jez're-el.

34  But  "the  Spirit  of  the  Lohd  f  came  upon  Gid'e-on,  and 
he  "blew  a  trumpet ;  and  A-bi-e'zer  fwas  gathered  after  him. 

35  And  he  sent  messengers  throughout  all  Ma-nas'seh ; 
who  also  was  gathered  after  him :  and  he  sent  messengers 
unto  Ash'er,  and  unto  Zeb'u-lun,  and  unto  Naph'ta-li ;  and 
they  came  up  to  meet  them. 

36  ^And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  God,  If  thou  wilt  save  Is'ra-el 
by  my  hand,  as  thou  hast  said, 

37  "Behold,  I  will  put  a  fleece  of  wool  in  the  floor :  and  if 
the  dew  be  on  the  fleece  only,  and  it  be  dry  upon  all  the 
earth  besides,  then  shall  I  know  that  thou  wilt  save  Is'ra-el 
by  my  hand,  as  thou  hast  said. 

38  And  it  was  so:  for  he  rose  up  early  on  the  morrow, 
and  thrust  the  fleece  together,  and  wringed  the  dew  out  of 
the  fleece,  a  bowl  full  of  water. 

39  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  God,  'Let  not  thine  anger 
be  hot  against  me,  and  I  will  speak  but  this  once :  let  me 
prove,  I  pray  thee,  but  this  once  with  the  fleece ;  let  it  now 
be  dry  only  upon  the  fleece,  and  upon  all  the  ground  let 
there  be  dew. 

40  And  God  did  so  that  night:  for  it  was  dry  upon  the 
fleece  only,  and  there  was  dew  on  all  the  ground. 

CHAPTKR  VII. 

Gideon's  army  of  two  and  thirty  thousand  is  brought  to  three  hundred, 

THEN  °Je-rub'ba-al,  who  is  Gid'e-on,  and  all  the  people 
that  were  with  him,  rose  up  early,  and  pitched  beside  the 
well  of  Ha'rod :  so  that  the  host  of  the  Mid'i-an-ites  were  on 
the  north  side  of  them,  by  the  hill  of  Mo'reh,  in  the  valley. 

2  And  the  Lokd  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  The  people  that  are 
with  thee  are  too  many  for  me  to  give  the  Mid'i-an-ites  into 
their  hands,  lest  Is'ra-el  ""vaunt  themselves  against  me,  say- 
ing. Mine  own  hand  hath  saved  me. 

3  Now  therefore  go  to,  proclaim  in  the  ears  of  the  people, 
saying,  "Whosoever  is  fearful  and  afraid,  let  him  return  and 
depart  early  from  mount  Gil'e-ad.  And  there  returned  of 
the  people  twenty  and  two  thousand ;  and  there  remained 
ten  thousand. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  The  people  are  yet 
too  many ;  bring  them  down  unto  the  water,  and  I  will  try 
them  for  thee  there;  and  it  shall  be  that  of  whom  I  say 
unto  thee.  This  shall  go  with  thee,  the  same  .shall  go  with 
thee ;  and  of  whomsoever  I  say  unto  thee,  This  .shall  not 
go  with  thee,  the  same  shall  not  go. 

5  So  he  brought  down  the  people  unto  the  water :  and  the 
LoED  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  Every  one  that  lappeth  of  the 
water  with  his  tongue,  as  a  dog  lappeth,  him  shalt  thou  set 
by  himself;  likewise  every  one  that  boweth  down  upon  his 
knees  to  drink. 

6  And  the  number  of  them  that  lapped,  putting  their  hand 
to  their  mouth  were  three  hundred  men :  but  all  the  rest 
of  the  people  bowed  down  upon  their  knees  to  drink  water. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  ''By  the  three  hundred 
men  that  lapped  will  I  save  you,  and  deliver  the  Mid'i-an-ites 
into  thine  hand :  and  let  all  the  other  people  go  every  man 
unto  his  place. 

8  So  the  people  took  victuals  in  their  hand,  and  their 
trumpets :  and  he  sent  all  the  rest  of  Is'ra-el  every  man  unto 
his  tent,  and  retained  those  three  hundred  men :  and  the 
host  of  Mid'i-an  was  beneath  him  in  the  valley. 

9  *f[And  it  came  to  pass  the  same  "night,  that  the  Lord 
said  unto  him,  Arise,  get  thee  down  unto  the  host;  for  I 
have  delivered  it  into  thine  hand. 

10  But  if  thou  fear  to  go  down,  go  thou  with  Phu'rali  thy 
servant  down  to  the  host : 

11  And  thou  shalt  ■'^hear  what  they  say;  and  afterward 
shall  thine  hands  be  strengthened  to  go  down  unto  the  host. 
Then  went  he  down  with  Phu'rah  his  servant  unto  the  out- 
side of  the  Harmed  men  that  were  in  the  host. 

12  And  the  Mid'i-an-ites  and  the  Am'a-lek-ites  and  'all  the 


34  But  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  'came  upon  Gid'e-on  ;  and 
he  blew  a  trumpet ;  and  A-bi-e'zer  was  gathered  to- 

35  gether  after  him.  And  ,he  sent  messengers  through- 
out all  Ma-nas'seh ;  and  they  also  were  gathered  to- 
gether after  him :  and  he  sent  messengers  unto  Ash'er, 
and  unto  Zeb'u-lun,  and  unto  Naph'ta-li;  and  they  came 

36  up  to  meet  them.  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  God,  If  thou 
wilt  save  Is'ra-el  by  mine  hand,  as  thou  hast  spoken, 

37  behold,  I  will  put  a  fleece  of  wool  on  the  threshing- 
floor  ;  if  there  be  dew  on  the  fleece  only,  and  it  be 
dry  upon  all  the  ground,  then  shall  I  know  that  thou 
wilt  save  Is'ra-el  by  mine  hand,  as  thou  hast  spoken. 

38  And  it  was  so :  for  he  rose  up  early  on  the  morrow, 
and  pressed  the  fleece  together,  and  wringed  the  dew 

39  out  of  the  fleece,  a  bowlful  of  water.  And  Gid'e-on 
said  unto  God,  Let  not  thine  anger  be  kindled  against 
me,  and  I  will  speak  but  this  once :  let  me  prove,  I 

Eray  thee,  but  ^this  once  with  the  fleece ;  let  it  now 
e  dry  only  upon  the  fleece,  and  upon  all  the  ground 

40  let  there  be  dew.  And  God  did  so  that  night :  for 
it  was  dry  upon  the  fleece  only,  and  there  was  dew 
on  all  the  ground. 

*  Then  Je-rub'ba-al,  who  is  Gid'e-on,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple that  were  with  him,  rose  up  early,  and  pitched 
beside  the  spring  of  ^Ha'rod :  and  the  camp  of  Mid'- 
i-an was  on  the  north  side  of  them,  ^by  the  hill  of 
Mo'reh,  in  the  valley. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  The  people  that 
are  with  thee  are  too  many  for  me  to  give  the  Mid' 
i-an-ites  into  their  hand,  lest  Is'ra-el  vaunt  themselves 
against  me,  saying,  Mine  own  hand  hath  saved  me. 

3  Now  therefore  go  to,  proclaim  in  the  ears  of  the 
people,  saying.  Whosoever  is  fearful  and  trembling, 
let  him  return  and  ^depart  from  mount  Gil'e-ad 
And  there  returned  of  the  people  twenty  and  two 
thousand;  and  there  remained  ten  thousand. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  The  people  are 
yet  too  many ;  bring  them  down  unto  the  water,  and 
I  will  try  them  for  thee  there ;  and  it  shall  be,  that  of 
whom  I  say  unto  thee.  This  shall  go  with  thee,  the 
same  shall  go  with  thee ;  and  of  whomsoever  I  say 
unto  thee,  'This  shall  not  go  with  thee,  the  same  shall 

5  not  go.  So  he  brought  down  the  people  unto  the 
water :  and  the  Lord  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  Every  one 
that  lappeth  of  the  water  with  his  tongue,  as  a  dog 
lappeth,  him  shalt  thou  set  by  himself;  likewise  every 

6  one  that  boweth  down  upon  his  knees  to  drink.  And 
the  number  of  them  that  lapped,  putting  their  hand 
to  their  mouth,  was  three  hundred  men :  but  all  the 
rest  of  the  people  bowed  down  upon  their  knees  to 

7  drink  water.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  By 
the  three  hundred  men  that  lapped  will  I  save  you, 
and  deliver  the  Mid'i-an-ites  into  thine  hand:  and  let 

Sail  the  people  go  every  man  unto  his  place.  ^So  the 
people  took  victuals  in  their  hand,  and  their  trump- 
ets :  and  he  sent  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  every  man  unto 
his  tent,  but  retained  the  three  hundred  men :  and 
the  camp  of  Mid'i-an  was  beneath  him  in  the  valley. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same  night,  that  the 
Lord  said  unto  him,  Arise,  get  thee  down  ''into  the 

10  camp;  for  I  have  delivered  it  into  thine  hand.  But 
if  thou  fear  to  go  down,  go  thou   with  Pu'rah  thy 

11  servant  down  to  the  camp:  and  thou  shalt  hear  what 
they  say;  and  afterward  shall  thine  hands  be 
strengthened  to  go  down  *into  the  camp.  Then  went 
he  down  with  Pu'rah  his  servant  unto  the  outer- 
most part  of  the  armed  men  that  were  in  the  camp.

children  of  the  east  lay  along  in  the  valley  like  grasshop- 
pers for  multitude ;  and  their  camels  were  without  number, 
as  the  sand  by  the  sea  side  for  multitude. 

13  And  when  Gid'e-on  was  come,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
that  told  a  dream  unto  his  fellow,  and  said,  Behold,  I 
dreamed  a  dream,  and,  lo,  a  cake  of  barley  bread  tumbled 
into  the  host  of  Mid'i-an,  and  came  unto  a  tent,  and  smote 
it  that  it  fell,  and  overturned  it,  that  the  tent  lay  along. 

14  And  his  fellow  answered,  and  said.  This  is  nothing 
else  save  the  sword  of  Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash,  a  man 
of  Is'ra-el :  for  into  his  hand  ha^b  God  delivered  Mid'i-an, 
and  all  the  host. 

15  ^[And  it  was  so,  when  Gid'e-on  heard  the  telling  of  the 
dream,  and  fthe  interpretation  thereof,  that  he  worshipped, 
and  returned  into  the  host  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said,  Arise ;  for  the 
LoKD  hath  delivered  into  your  hand  the  host  of  Mid'i-an. 

16  And  he'  divided  the  three  hundred  men  into  three  com- 
panies, and  he  put  fa  trumpet  in  every  man's  hand,  with 
empty  pitchers,  and  ||  lamps  within  the  pitchers. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them.  Look  on  me,  and  do  likewise: 
and,  behold,  when  I  come  to  the  outside  of  the  camp,  it 
shall  be  that,  as  I  do,  so  shall  ye  do. 

18  When  I  blow  with  a  trumpet,  I  and  all  that  are  with 
me,  then  blow  ye  the  trumpets  also  on  every  side  of  all  the 
camp,  and  say.  The  sword  of  the  Lord,  and  of  Gid'e-on. 

19  ilSo  Gid'e-on,  and  the  hundred  men  that  were  with 
him,  came  unto  the  outside  of  the  camp  in  the  beginning  of 
the  middle  watch :  and  they  had  but  newly  set  the  watch : 
and  they  blew  the  trumpets,  and  brake  the  pitchers  that 
were  in  their  hands. 

20  And  the  three  companies  blew  the  trumpets,  and  brake 
the  pitchers,  and  held  the  lamps  in  their  left  nands,  and  the 
trumpets  in  their  right  hands  to  blow  withal:  and  they 
cried.  The  sword  of  the  Lord,  and  of  Gid'e-on. 

21  And  they  'stood  every  man  in  his  place  round  about 
the  camp :  'and  all  the  host  ran,  and  cried,  and  fled. 

22  And  the  three  hundred  'blew  the  trumpets,  and  'the 
Lord  set  ""every  man's  sword  against  his  fellow,  even 
throughout  all  the  host :  and  the  host  fled  to  Beth-shit'tah 

in  Zer'e-rath.  and  to  the  fborder  of  A'bel-me-ho'lah,  unto 
Tab'bath. 

23  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  gathered  themselves  together 
out  of  Naph'ta-li,  and  out  of  Ash'er,  and  out  of  all  Ma- 
nas'seh,  and  pursued  after  the  Mid'i-an-ites. 

24  ^And  Gid'e-on  sent  messengers  throughout  all  "mount 
E'phra-im,  saying.  Come  down  against  the  Mid'i-an-ites,  and 
take  before  them  the  waters  unto  Beth-ba'rah  and  Jor'dan. 
Then  all  the  men  of  E'phra-im  gathered  themselves  together, 
and  "took  the  waters  unto  ^Beth-ba'rah  and  Jor'dan. 

25  And  they  took  'two  princes  of  the  Mid'i-an-ites,  O'reb 
and  Ze'eb ;  and  they  slew  O'reb  upon  ""the  rock  O'rab,  and 
Ze'eb  they  slew  at  the  winepress  of  Ze'eb,  and  pursued 
Mid'i-an,  and  brought  the  heads  of  O'reb  and  Ze'eb  to 
Gid'e-on  on  the  'other  side  Jor'dan. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Succoth  and  Penuel  refuse  to  relieve  Gideon^ s  army. 

AND  "the  men  of  E'phra-im  said  unto  him,  fWhy  hast 
thou  served  us  thus,  that  thou  calledst  us  not,  when 
thou  wentest  to  fight  with  the  Mid'i-an-ites  ?  And  they  did 
chide  with  him  fsharply. 

2  And  he  said  unto  them,  What  have  I  done  now  in  com- 
parison of  you?  Is  not  the  gleaning  of  the  grapes  of 
E'phra-im  better  than  the  vintage  of  A-bi-e'zer  ? 

3  'God  hath  delivered  into  your  hands  the  princes  of 
Mid'i-an,  O'reb  and  Ze'eb :  and  what  was  I  able  to  do  in 
comparison  of  you  ?  Then  their  fanger  was  abated  toward 
him,  when  he  had  said  that. 

4  ^  And  Giid'e-on  came  to  Jor'dan ,  and  passed  over,  he,  and  the 
three  hundred  men  that  were  with  him,  fai  nt,  yet  pursuing  them,. 


children  of  the  east  lay  along  in  the  valley  like  locusts 
for  multitude ;  and  their  camels  were  without  number, 
as  the  sand  which  is  upon  the  sea  shore  for  multitude. 

13  And  when  Gid'e-on  was  come,  behold,  there  was  a 
man  that  told  a  dream  unto  his  fellow,  and  said.  Be- 
hold, I  dreamed  a  dream,  and,  lo,  a  cake  of  barley 
bread  tumbled  into  the  camp  of  Mid'i-an,  and  came  un- 
to the  tent,  and  smote  it  that  it  fell,  and  turned  it  up- 

14  side  down,  that  the  tent  lay  along.  And  his  fellow 
answered  and  said.  This  is  nothing  else  save  the  sword 
of  Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash,  a  man  of  Is'ra-el:  into  his 
hand  God  hath  delivered  Mid'i-an,  and  all  the  host. 

15  And  it  was  so,  when  Gid'e-on  heard  the  telling  of 
the   dream,  and  the  interpretation  thereof,  that  he 
worshipped ;  and  he  returned  into  the  camp  of  Is' 
ra-el,  and  said.  Arise  j  for  the  Lord  hath  delivered 

16  into  your  hand  the  host  of  Mid'i-an.  And  he  divided 
the  three  hundred  men  into  three  companies,  and  he 
put  into  the  hands  of  all  of  them  trumpets,  and  empty 

17  pitchers,  with  torches  within  the  pitchers.  Ana  ne 
said  unto  them.  Look  on  me,  and  do  likewise :  and, 
behold,  when  I  come  to  the  outermost  part  of  the 

18  camp,  it  shall  be  that,  as  I  do,  so  shall  ye  do.  When 
I  blow  the  trumpet,  I  and  all  that  are  with  me,  then 
blow  ye  the  trumpets  also  on  every  side  of  all  the 
camp,  and  say,  For  the  Lord  and  for  Gid'e-on. 

19  So  Gid'e-on,  and  the  hundred  men  that  were  with 
him,  came  unto  the  outermost  part  of  the  camp  in  the 
beginning  of  the  middle  watch,  when  they  had  but 
newly  set  the  watch :  and  they  blew  the  trumpets,  and 
brake  in  pieces  the  pitchers  that  were  in  their  hands 

20  And  the  three  companies  blew  the  trumpets,  and 
brake  the  pitchers,  and  held  the  torches  in  their  left 
hands,  and  the  trumpets  in  their  right  hands  to  blow 
withal :  and  they  cried,  'The  sword  of  the  Lord  and 

21  of  Gid'e-on.  And  they  stood  every  man  in  his  place 
round  about  the  camp :  and  all  the  host  ran ;  and  they 

22  shouted,  and  ^put  them,  to  flight.     And  they  blew  the 
three  hundred  trumpets,  and  the  Lord  set  every  man's 
sword  against  his  fellow,  and   against  all  the  host : 
and  the  host  fled  as  far  as  Beth-shit'tah  toward  Zer'e 
rah,  as  far  as  the  'border  of  A'bel-me-ho'lah,  by  Tab' 

23  bath.  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  were  gathered  together 
out  of  Naph'ta-li,  and  out  of  Ash'er,  and  out  of  all 

24  Ma-nas'sen,  and  pursued  after  Mid'i-an.  And  Gid'e-on 
sent  messengers  throughout  all  the  hill  country  of 
E'phra-im,  saying.  Come  down  against  Mid'i-an,  and 
take  before  them  the  waters,  as  far  as  Beth-ba'rah, 
*even  Jor'dan.  So  all  the  men  of  E'phra-im  were  gath 
ered  together,  and  took  the  waters  as  far  as  Beth- 

25  ba'rah,  ''even  Jor'dan.  And  they  took  the  two  princes 
of  Mid'i-an,  O'reb  and  Ze'eb ;  and  they  slew  O'reb  at 
the  rock  of  O'reb,  and  Ze'eb  they  slew  at  the  winepress 
of  Ze'eb,  and  pursued  Mid'i-an  and  they  brought  the 
heads  of  O'reb  and  Ze'eb  to  Gid'e-on  beyond  Jor'dan. 

O  And  the  men  of  E'phra-im  said  unto  him,  Why 
hast  thou  served  us  thus,  that  thou  calledst  us  not, 
when  thou  wentest  to  fight  with  Mid'i-an  ?    And  they 

2  did  chide  with  him  sharply.  And  he  said  unto  them, 
What  have  I  now  done  in  comparison  of  you  ?  Is 
not  the  gleaning  of  the  grapes  of  E'phra-im  better 

3  than  the  vintage  of  A-bi-e'zer?  God  hath  delivered 
into  your  hand  the  princes  of  Mid'i-an,  O'reb  and

5  And  he  said  unto  the  men  of  Suc'eoth,Give,  I  pray  you,  loaves 
of  bread  unto  the  people  that  follow  me;  for  they  be  faint,  and 
I  am  pursuing  after  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na,  kings  of  Mid'i-an. 

6  ^And  the  princes  of  Suc'coth  said,  'Are  the  hands  of 
Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  now  in  thine  hand,  that  -'^we  should 
give  bread  unto  thine  army  ? 

7  And  Gid'e-on  said,  Therefore  when  the  Lord  hath  deliv- 
ered Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  into  mine  hand,  "then  I  will  ftear 
your  flesh  with  the  thorns  of  the  wilderness  and  with  briers. 

8  ^And  he  went  up  thence  *to  Pe-nu'el,  and  spake  unto 
them  likewise :  and  the  men  of  Pe-nu'el  answered  him  as  the 
men  of  Suc'coth  had  answered  him. 

9  And  he  spake  also  unto  the  men  of  Pe-nu'el,  saying, 
When  I  'come  again  in  peace,  *I  will  break  down  this  tower. 

10  ^Now  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  were  in  Kar'kor,  and  their 
hosts  with  them,  about  fifteen  thousand  men,  all  that  were 
left  of  'all  the  hosts  of  the  children  of  the  east :  for  there 
fell  II  a  hundred  and  twenty  thousand  men  that  drew  sword. 

11  T[And  Gi'de-on  went  up  by  the  way  of  them  that  dwelt 
in  tents  on  the  east  of  "'No'bah  and  Jog'be-hah,  and  smote 
the  host:  for  the  host  was  "secure. 

12  And  when  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  fled,  he  pursued  after 
them,  and  "took  the  two  kings  of  Mid'i-an,  Ze'bah  and 
Zal-mun'na,  and  fdiscomfited  all  the  host. 

13  ^  And  Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash  returned  from  battle 
before  the  sun  was  up, 

14  And  caught  a  young  man  of  the  men  of  Suc'coth,  and  in- 
quired of  him:  and  he  fdescribed  unto  him  the  princes  of  Suc'- 
coth, and  the  elders  thereof,  even  threescore  and  seventeen  men. 

15  And  he  came  unto  the  men  of  Suc'coth,  and  said,  Behold 
Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na,  with  whom  ye  did  ''upbraid  me,  say- 
ing, Are  the  handsof  Ze'bah  andZal-mun'na  nowin  thine  hand, 
that  we  should  give  bread  unto  thy  men  thai  are  weary  ? 

16  'And  he  took  the  elders  of  the  city,  and  thorns  of 
the  wilderness,  and  briers,  and  with  them  he  ftaught  the 
men  of  Suc'coth. 

17  'And  he  beat  down  the  tower  of  'Pe-nu'el,  and  slew  the 
men  of  the  city. 

18  ^Then  said  he  unto  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na,  What  man- 
ner of  men  were  they  whom  ye  slew  at  'Ta'bor  ?  And  they 
answered,  As  thou  art,  so  were  they;  each  one  fresembled 
the  children  of  a  king. 

19  And  he  said,  They  were  my  brethren,  even  the  sons  of 
my  mother :  as  the  Lord  liveth,  if  ye  had  saved  them  alive, 

I  would  not  slay  you. 

20  And  he  said  unto  Je'ther  his  firstborn,  Up,  and  slay 
them.  But  the  youth  drew  not  his  sword :  for  he  feared, 
because  he  was  yet  a  youth. 

21  Then  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  said.  Rise  thou,  and  fall 
upon  us :  for  as  the  man  is,  so  is  his  strength.  And  Gid'e-on 
arose,  and  "slew  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na,  and  took  away  the 

II  ornaments  that  were  on  their  camels'  necks. 

22  ^Then  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  Rule  thou 
over  us,  both  thou,  and  thy  son,  and  thy  son's  son  also :  for 
thou  hast  delivered  us  from  the  hand  of  Mid'i-an. 

23  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  them,  I  will  not  rule  over  you,  nei- 
ther shall  my  son  rule  over  you :  "the  Lord  shall  rule  over  you. 

24  ^And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  them,  I  would  desire  a  request 
of  you,  that  you  would  give  me  every  man  the  earrings  of 
his  prey.  (For  they  had  golden  earrings,  •'because  they 
were  Ish'ma-el-ites.) 

25  And  they  answered,  We  will  willingly  give  them.  And 
they  spread  a  garment,  and  did  cast  therein  every  man  the 
earrings  of  his  prey. 

26  And  the  weight  of  the  golden  earrings  that  he  re- 
quested was  a  thousand  and  seven  hundred  shekels  of  gold ; 
besides  ornaments,  and  ||  collars,  and  purple  raiment  that  was 
on  the  kings  of  Mid'i-an,  and  besides  the  chains  that  were 
about  their  camels'  necks. 


5  And  he  said  unto  the  men  cf  Suc'coth,  Give,  I  pray 
you,  loaves  of  bread  unto  the  people  that  follow  me ; 
for  they  be  faint,  and  I  am  pursuing  after  Ze'bah  and 

6  Zal-mun'na,  the  kings  of  Mid'i-an.  And  the  princes 
of  Suc'coth  said,  Are  the  hands  of  Ze'bah  and  Zal- 
mun'na  now  in  thine  hand,  that  we  should  give  bread 

7 unto  thine  army?  And  Gid'e-on  said,  Therefore 
when  the  Lord  hath  delivered  Ze'bak  and  Zal-mun'na 
into  mine  hand,  then  I  will  Hear  your  flesh  with  the 

8  thorns  of  the  wilderness  and  with  briers.  And  he 
went  up  thence  to  Pe-nu'el,  and  spake  unto  them  in 
like  manner:  and  the  men  of  Pe-nu'el  answered  him 

9  as  the  men  of  Suc'coth  had  answered.  And  he  spake 
also  unto  the  men  of  Pe-nu'el,  saying.  When  I  come 

.  again  in  peace,  I  will  break  down  this  tower. 

10  Now  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  were  in  Kar'kor,  and 
their  hosts  with  them,  about  fifteen  thousand  men, 
all  that  were  left  of  all  the  host  of  the  children  of 
the  east :  for  there  fell  an  hundred  and  twenty  thou 

11  sand  men  that  drew  sword.  And  Gid'e-on  went  up 
by  the  way  of  them  that  dwelt  in  tents  on  the  east 
of  No'bah  and  Jog'be-hah,  and  smote  the  host ;  for 

12  the  host  was  secure.  And  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na 
fled;  and  he  pursued  after  them;  and  he  took  the 
two  kings  of  Mid'i-an,  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na,  and 

13 discomfited  all  the  host.  And  Gid'e-on  the  sen  of 
Jo'ash  returned  from  the  battle  from  the  ascent  of 

14He'res.  And  he  caught  a  young  man  of  the  men 
of  Suc'coth,  and  inquired  of  him :  and  he  'described 
for    him   the  princes  of   Suc'coth,  and   the   elders 

15  thereof,  seventy  and  seven  men.    And  he  came  unto 
the  men  of  Suc'coth,  and  said.  Behold  Ze'bah  and  Zal 
mun'na,  concerning  whom  ye  did  taunt  me,  saying, 
Are  the  hands  of  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  now  in  thine 
hand,  that  we  should  give  bread  unto  thy  men  that 

16  are  weary  ?  And  he  took  the  elders  of  the  city,  and 
thorns  of  the  wilderness  and  briers,  and  with  them 

17  he  ^taught  the  men  of  Suc'coth.  And  he  brake  down 
the  tower  of  Pe-nu'el,  and  slew  the  men  of  the  city. 

18  Then  said  he  unto  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na,  What  man- 
ner of  men  were  they  whom  ye  slew  at  Ta'bor  ?  And 
they  answered.  As  thou  art,  so  were  they;  each  one 

19  resembled  the  children  of  a  king.  And  he  said. 
They  were  my  brethren,  the  sons  of  my  mother :  as 
the  Lord  liveth,  if  ye  had  saved  them  alive,  I  would 

20  not  slay  you.  And  he  said  unto  Je'ther  his  firstborn. 
Up,  and  slay  them.  But  the  youth  drew  not  his 
sword:  for  he  feared,  because  he  was  yet  a  youth. 

21  Then  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na  said,  Rise  thou,  and  fall 
upon  us ;  for  as  the  man  is,  so  is  his  strength.  And 
Gid'e-on  arose,  and  slew  Ze'bah  and  Zal-mun'na,  and 
took  the  crescents  that  were  on  their  camels'  necks. 

22  Then  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Gid'e-on,  Rule 
thou  over  us,  both  thou,  and  thy  son,  and  thy  son's 
son  also :  for  thou  hast  saved  us  out  of  the  hand  of 

23  Mid'i-an.  And  Gid'e-on  said  unto  them,  I  will  not 
rule  over  you,  neither  shall  my  son  rule  over  you : 

24  the  Lord  shall  rule  over  you.  And  Gid'e-on  said 
unto  them,  I  would  desire  a  request  of  you,  that  ye 
would  give  me  every  man  the  'earrings  of  his  spoil. 
(For  they  had  golden  earrings,  because  they  were 

25  Ish'ma-el-ites.)  And  they  answered,We  will  willingly 
give  them.     And  they  spread  a  garment,  and  did  cast 

26  therein  every  man  the  earrings  of  his  spoil.  And 
the  weight  of  the  golden  earrings  that  he  requested 
was  a  thousand  and  seven  hundred  shekels  of  gold; 
beside  the  crescents,  and  the  pendants,  and  the  pur- 
ple raiment  that  was  on  the  kings  of  Mid'i-an,  and 
beside  the  chains  that  were  about  their  camels'  necks.

27  And  Gid'e-on'madean  ephod  thereof,and  put  it  in  his  city, 
even  "in  Oph'rah :  and  all  Is'ra-el  'went  thither  a  whoring  after 
it:  which  thing  became^a  snare  untoGid'e-on,and  t:/  his  house. 

28  ^  Thus  was  Mid'i-an  subdued  before  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el, so  that  they  lifted  up  their  heads  no  more.  ''And  the 
country  was  in  quietness  forty  years  in  the  days  of  Gid'e-on. 

29  *[[And  Je-rub'ba-al  the  son  of  Jo'ash  went  and  dwelt  in 
his  own  house. 

30  And  Gid'e-on  had  "threescore  and  ten  sons  fof  his 
body  begotten :  for  he  had  many  wives. 

31  ■''And  his  concubine  that  was  in  She'chera,  she  also  bare 
him  a  son,  whose  name  he  fcalled  A-bim'e-lech. 

32  ^And  Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash  died  "in  a  good  old 
age,  and  was  buried  in  the  sepulchre  of  Jo'ash  his  father,  ''in 
Oph'rah  of  the  A-bi-ez'rites. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  'as  soon  as  Gid'e-on  was  dead,  that 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  turned  again,  and  *went  a  Avhoring 
after  Ba'al-im,  'and  made  Ba'al-be'rith  their  god. 

34  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  ""remembered  not  the  LoRD 
their  God,  who  had  delivered  them  out  of  the  hands  of  all 
their  enemies  on  every  side : 

35  "Neither  shewed  they  kindness  to  the  house  of  Je-rub'- 
ba-al, namely,  Gid'e-on,  according  to  all  the  goodness  which 
he  had  shewed  unto  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Abimeleck^  by  conspiring  with  ike  Shechemiies^  is  made  king. 

AND  A-bim'e-lech  the  son  of  Je-rub'ba-al  went  to  She'chem 
unto  "his  mother'sbrethren,  and  communed  with  them,  and 
with  all  the  family  of  the  house  of  his  mother's  father,  saying, 

2  Speak,  I  pray  you,  in  the  ears  of  all  the  men  of  She'chem, 
fWhether  is  better  for  you,  either  that  all  the  sons  of 
Je-rub'ba-al,  which  are  'threescore  and  ten  persons,  reign 
over  you,  or  that  one  reign  over  you  ?  remember  also  that 
I  am  S'our  bone  and  your  flesh. 

3  And  his  mother's  brethren  spake  of  him  in  the  ears  of  all 
the  men  of  She'chem  all  these  words :  and  their  hearts  inclined 
fto  follow  A-bim'e-lech ;  for  they  said.  He  is  our  "^brother. 

4  And  they  gave  him  threescore  and  ten  'pieces  of  silver 
out  of  the  house  of  "Ba'al-be'rith,  wherewith  A-bim'e-lech 
hired  -^vain  and  light  persons,  which  followed  him. 

5  And  he  went  unto  his  father's  house  "at  Oph'rah,  and  *slew 
his  brethren  the  sons  of  Je-rub'ba-al,  being  threescore  and  ten 
persons,  upon  one  stone :  notwithstanding,  yet  Jo'tham  the 
youngest  son  of  Je-rub'La-sl  was  left;  for  he  hid  himself. 

6  And  all  the  men  of  Jhe'chem  gathered  together,  and  all 
the  house  of  Mil'lo,  and  went  and  made  A-bim'e-lech  king, 
fby  the  plain  of  the  pillar  that  was  in  She'chem. 

7  ^And  when  they  told  it  to  Jo'tham,  he  went  and  stood 
in  the  top  of  'mount  Ger'i-zim,  and  lifted  up  his  voice,  and 
cried,  and  said  unto  them,  Hearken  unto  me,  ye  men  of 
She'chem,  that  God  may  hearken  unto  you. 

8  *The  trees  went  forth  on  a  time  to  anoint  a  king  over 
them ;  and  they  said  unto  the  olive  tree,  'Reign  thou  over  us. 

9  But  the  olive  tree  said  unto  them,  Should  I  leave  my 
fatness,  "wherewith  by  me  they  honour  God  and  man,  and 
tgo  to  be  promoted  over  the  trees? 

10  And  the  trees  said  to  the  fig  tree,  Come  thou,  and  reign 
over  us. 

11  But  the  fig  tree  said  unto  them,  Should  I  forsake  my  sweet- 
ness, and  my  good  fruit,  and  go  to  be  promoted  over  the  trees? 

12  Then  said  the  trees  unto  the  vine.  Come  thou,  and  reign 
over  us. 

13  And  the  vine  said  unto  them.  Should  I  leave  my  wine, 
"which  cheereth  God  and  man,  and  go  to  be  promoted  over 
the  trees? 

14  Then  said  all  the  trees  unto  the  ||  bramble,  Come  thou, 
and  reign  over  us. 

15  And  the  bramble  said  unto  the  trees,  If  in  truth  ye 
anoint  me  king  over  you,  then  come  and  put  your  trust  in 


27  And  Gid'e-on  made  an  ephod  thereof,  and  put  it  in 
his  city,  even  in  Oph'rah :  and  all  Is'ra-el  went  a 
whoring  after  it  there :  and  it  became  a  snare  unto 

28  Gid'e-on,  and  to  his  house.  So  Mid'i-an  was  subdued 
before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  lifted  up  their 
heads  no  more.  And  the  land  had  rest  foity  years 
in  the  days  of  Gid'e-on. 

29  And  Je-rub'ba-al  the  son  of  Jo'asL  went  and  dwelt 

30  in  his  own  house.  And  Gid'e-on  had  threescore  and 
ten  sons  of  his  body  begotten:   for  he   had  many 

31  wives.  And  his  concubine  that  was  in  She'chem, 
she  also  bare  him  a  son,  and  he  'called  his  name 

32  A-bim'e-lech.  And  Gid'e-on  the  son  of  Jo'ash  died  in  a 
good  old  age,  and  was  buried  in  the  sepulchre  of 
Jo'ash  his  father,  in  Oph'rah  of  the  A-bi-ez'rites. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  Gid'e-on  was  dead, 
that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  turned  again,  and  went  a 
whoring  after  the  Ba'al-im,  and  made  Ba'al-be'rith 

34  their  god.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  remembered 
not  the  Lord  their  God,  who  had  delivered  them 
out  of  the  hand  of  all  their  enemies  on  every  side 

35  neither  shewed  they  kindness  to  the  house  of  Je-rub'' 
ba'al,  who  is  Gid'e-on,  according  to  all  the  goodness 
which  he  had  shewed  unto  Is'ra-el. 

V  And  A-bim'e-Iech  the  son  of  Je-rub'ba-al  went  to 
She'chem  unto  his  mother's  brethren,  and  spake 
with  them,  and  with  all  the  family  of  the  house  of 

2  his  mother's  father,  saying.  Speak,  I  pray  you,  in 
the  ears  of  all  the  men  of  She'chem,  Whether  is 
better  for  you,  that  all  the  sons  of  Je-rub'ba-al,  which 
are  threescore  and  ten  persons,  rule  over  you,  or 
that  one  rule  over  you?  remember  also  that  I  am 

3  your  bone  and  your  flesh.  And  his  mother's  breth- 
ren spake  of  him  in  the  ears  of  all  the  men  of 
She'chem  all  these  words:  and  their  hearts  inclined 
to   follow  A-bim'e-lech;  for   they  said,  He  is  our 

4  brother.  And  they  gave  him  threescore  and  ten 
pieces  of  silver  out  of  the  house  of  Ba'al-be'rith, 
wherewith  A-bim'e-lech  hired  vain  and  light  fellows, 

5  which  followed  him.  And  he  went  unto  his  father's 
house  at  Oph'rah,  and  slew  his  brethren  the  sons  of 
Je-rub'ba-al,  being  threescore  and  ten  persons,  upon 
one  stone:  but  Jo'tham  the  youngest  son  of  Je- 
rub'ba-al  was  left;  for  he  hid  himselL 

6  And  all  the  men  of  She'chem  assembled  themselves 
together,  and  all  ^the  house  of  Mil'lo,  and  went  and 
made  A-bim'e-lech  king,  by  the  'oak  of  the  ^pillar  that 

7  was  in  She'chem.  And  when  they  told  it  to  Jo'tham, 
he  went  and  stood  in  the  top  of  mount  Ger'i-zim,  and 
lifted  up  his  voice,  and  cried,  and  said  unto  them, 
Hearken  unto  me,  ye  men  of  She'chem,  that  God 

8  may  hearken  unto  you.  The  trees  went  forth  on  a 
time  to  anoint  a  king  over  them ;  and  they  said  urto 

9  the  olive  tree.  Reign  thou  over  us.  But  the  olive 
tree  said  unto  them.  Should  I  leave  my  fatness, 
'wherewith  by  me  they  honour  God  and  man,  and 

10 go  to  wave   to  and  fro  over  the  trees?     And  the 

trees  said  to  the  fig  tree.  Come  thou,  and  reign  over 

11  us.     But  the  fig  tree  said  unto  them.  Should  I  leave 

my  sweetness,  and  my  good  fruit,  and  go  to  wave 

12 to  and  fro  over  the  trees?    And  the  trees  said  unto 

13  the  vine,  Come  thou,  and  reign  over  us.     And  the 

vine  said  unto  them,  Should  I  leave  my  wine,  which 

cheereth   God  and  man,  and  go  to  wave  to  and  fro 

14 over  the  trees?    Then  said  all  the  trees  unto  the 

15  "bramble.  Come  thou,  and  reign  over  us.     And  tb-; 

"bramble  said  unto  the  trees.  If  in  truth  ye  anoint 

me  king  over  you,  then  come  and  put  your  trust  in

my  "shadow ;  and  if  not,  "let  fire  come  out  of  the  bramble, 
and  devour  the  'cedars  of  Leb'a-non. 

16  Now  therefore,  if  ye  have  done  truly  and  sincerely,  in 
that  ye  have  made  A-bim'e-lech  king,  and  if  ye  have  dealt 
well  with  Je-rub'ba-al  and  his  house,  and  have  done  unto  him 
"■according  to  the  deserving  of  his  hands  : 

17  (For  my  father  fought  for  you,  and  j^dventured  his 
life  far,  and  delivered  you  out  of  the  hand  of  Mid'i-an : 

18  'And  ye  arc  risen  up  against  my  father's  house  this 
day,  and  have  slain  his  sons,  threescore  and  ten  persons, 
upon  one  stone,  and  have  made  A-bim'e-lech,  the  son  of  his 
maidservant,  king  over  the  men  of  She'chem,  because  he  is 
your  brother :) 

19  If  ye  then  have  dealt  truly  and  sincerely  with  Je-rub'- 
ba-al and  with  his  house  this  day,  then  'rejoice  ye  in  A-bim'e- 
lech,  and  let  him  also  rejoice  in  you : 

20  But  if  not,  "let  fire  come  out  from  A-bim'e-lech,  and 
devour  the  men  of  She'chem,  and  the  house  of  Mil'lo ;  and 
let  fire  come  out  from  the  men  of  She'chem,  and  from  the 
house  of  Mil'lo,  and  devour  A-bim'e-lech. 

21  And  Jo'tham  ran  away,  and  fled,  and  went  to  "'Be'er, 
and  dwelt  there,  for  fear  of  A-bim'e-lech  his  brother. 

22  ^[  When  A-bim'e-lech  had  reigned  three  years  overls'ra-el, 

23  'Then  "God  sent  an  evil  spirit  between  A-bim'e-lech  and 
the  men  of  She'chem ;  and  the  men  of  She'chem  'dealt 
treacherously  with  A-bim'e-lech  : 

24  "That  the  cruelty  done  to  the  threescore  and  ten  sons 
of  Je-rub'ba-al  might  come,  and  their  blood  be  laid  upon 
A-bim'e-lech  their  brother,  which  slew  them,  and  upon  the 
men  of  She'chem  which  faided  him  in  the  killing  of  his 
brethren. 

25  And  the  men  of  She'chem  set  Hers  in  wait  for  him  in 
the  top  of  the  mountains,  and  they  robbed  all  that  came 
along  '.hat  way  by  them :  and  it  was  told  A-bim'e-lech. 

26  And  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed  came  with  his  brethren,  and 
went  over  to  She'chem :  and  the  men  of  She'chem  put  their 
confidence  in  him. 

27  And  they  went  out  into  the  fields,  and  gathered  their 
vineyards,  and  trode  the  grapes,  and  made  ||  merry,  and  went 
into  Hhe  house  of  their  god,  and  did  eat  and  drink,  and 
cursed  A-bim'e-lech. 

28  And  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed  said,"  Who  is  A-bim'e-lech,  and 
who  is  She'chem,  that  we  should  serve  him  ?  is  not  he  the  son 
of  Je-rub'ba-al  ?  and  Ze'bul  his  officer  ?  serve  the  men  of ''Ha'- 
mor  the  father  of  She'chem :  for  why  should  we  serve  him  ? 

29  And  'would  to  God  this  people  were  under  my  hand ! 
then  would  I  remove  A-bim'e-lech.  And  he  said  to  A-bim'e- 
lech,  Increase  thine  army,  and  come  out. 

30  ^And  when  Ze'bul  the  ruler  of  the  city  heard  the 
words  of  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed,  his  anger  was  ||  kindled. 

31  And  he  sent  messengers  unto  A-bim'e-lech  fprivily, 
saying.  Behold,  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed,  and  his  brethren, 
be  come  to  She'chem;  and,  behold,  they  fortify  the  city 
against  thee. 

32  Now  therefore  up  by  night,  thou,  and  the  people  that  is 
with  thee,  and  lie  in  wait  in  the  field : 

33  And  it  shall  be,  that  in  the  morning,  as  soon  as  the 
sun  is  up,  thou  shalt  rise  early,  and  set  upon  the  city:  and, 
behold,  when  he  and  the  people  that  is  with  him  come  out 
against  thee,  then  mayest  thou  do  to  them  fas  thou  shalt 
find  occasion. 

34  And  A-bim'e-lech  rose  up,  and  all  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  by  night,  and  they  laid  wait  against  She'chem  in 
four  companies. 

35  And  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed  went  out,  and  stood  in  the 
entering  of  the  gate  of  the  city :  and  A-bim'e-lech  rose  up, 
and  the  people  that  were  with  him,  from  lying  in  wait. 

36  And  when  Ga'al  saw  the  people,  he  said  to  Ze'bul, 
Behold,  there   come    people   down    from    the   top   of  the 


my  shadow  :  and  if  not,  let  fire  come  out  of  the 
16  'bramble,  and  devour  the  cedars  of  Leb'a-non.  Now 
therefore,  if  ye  have  dealt  truly  and  uprightly,  in 
that  ye  have  made  A-bim'e-lech  king,  and  if  ye  have 
dealt  well  with  Je-rub'ba-al  and  his  house,  and  have 
done  unto  him  according  to  the  deserving  of  his 
17 hands;  (for  my  father  fought  for  you,  and  ^adven 
tured  his  life,  and  delivered  you  out  of  the  hand  of 

18  Mid'i-an :  and  ye  are  risen  up  against  my  father's 
house  this  day,  and  have  slain  his  sons,  threescore 
and  ten  persons,  upon  one  stono,  and  have  made 
A-bim'e-lech,  the  son  of  his  maidservant,  king  over 
the  men  of  She'chem,  because  h^  is  your  brother;) 

19  if  ye  then  have  dealt  truly  and  uprightly  with  Je- 
rub'ba-al  and  with  his  house  \  his  day,  then  rejoice  ye 

20 in  A-bim'e-lech,  and  let  him  also  rejoice  in  you:  but 
if  not,  let  fire  come  out  from  A-bim'e-lech,  and  devour 
the  men  of  She'chem,  and  the  house  of  Mil'lo;  and 
let  fire  come  out  from  the  men  of  She'chem,  and 
from  the  house  of  Mil'lo,  and  devour  A-bim'e-lech. 

21  And  Jo'tham  ran  away,  and  fled,  and  went  to  Be'er, 
and  dwelt  there,  for  fear  of  A-bim'e-lech  his  brother. 

22  And  A-bim'e-lech  was  prince  over  Is'ra-el  three 

23  years.  And  God  sent  an  evil  spirit  between  A-bim'- 
e-lech and  the  men  of  She'chem  ;  and  the  men  of 

24  She'chem  dealt  treacherously  with  A-bim'e-lech :  that 
the  violence  done  to  the  threescore  and  ten  sons  of 
Je-rub'ba-al  might  come,  and  that  their  blood  might  be 
laid  upon  A-bim'e-lech  their  brother,  which  slewthem, 
and  upon  the  men  of  She'chem,  which  strengthened 

25  his  hands  to  slay  his  brethren.  And  the  men  of 
She'chem  set  liers  in  wait  for  him  on  the  tops  of  the 
mountains,  and  they  robbed  all  that  came  along  that 
way  by  them  :  and  it  was  told  A-bim'e-lech. 

26  And  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed  came  with  his  breth 
ren,  and  went  over  to  She'chem :  and  the  men  of 

27  She'chem  put  their  trust  in  him.  And  they  went 
out  into  the  field,  and  gathered  their  vineyards,  and 
trode  the  grapes,  and  %eld  festival,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  their  god,  and  did  eat  and  drink,  and 

28  cursed  A-bim'e-lech.  And  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed  said. 
Who  is  A-bim'e-lech,  and  who  is  She'chem,  that  we 
should  serve  him?  is  not  he  the  son  of  Je-rub'ba-al  ? 
and  Ze'bul  his  officer?  serve  ye  the  men  of  Ha'mor 
the  father  of  She'chem :  but  why  should   we  serve 

29 him?  And  would  to  God  this  people  were  under 
my  hand!  then  would  I  remove  A-bim'e-lech.  And 
he  said  *to  A-bim'e-lcch,  Increase  thine  army,  and 

30  come  out.  And  Avhen  Ze'bul  the  ruler  of  the  city 
•heard  the  words  of  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed,  his  anger 

31  was  kindled.  And  he  sent  messengers  unto  A-bim'e- 
lech  "craftily,  saying,  Behold,  Ga'al  the  son  of  E'bed 
and  his  brethren  are  come  to  She'chem :  and,  be- 
hold, they  "constrain  the  city  to  take  pari  against 

32  thee.  Now  therefore,  up  by  night,  thou  and  the 
people  that  is  with  thee,  and  lie  in  wait  in  the  field : 

33  and  it  shall  be,  that  in  the  morning,  as  soon  as  the 
sun  is  up,  thou  shalt  rise  early,  and  set  upon  the

with  him  come  out  against  thee,  then  mayest  thou

34  And  A-bim'e-lech  rose  up,  and  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  by  night,  and  they  laid  wait  against 

35  She'chem  in  four  companies.  And  Ga'al  the  son  of 
E'bed  went  out,  and  stood  in  the  entering  of  the  gate 
of  the  city :  and  A-bim'e-lech  rose  up,  and  the  people 

36  that  were  with  him,  from  the  ambushment.  And

mountains.     And   Ze'bul   said   unto   him,  Thou  seest  the 
shadow  of  the  mountains  as  if  they  were  men. 

37  And  Ga'al  spake  again,  and  said,  See,  there  come  people 
down  by  the  fmiddle  of  the  land,  and  another  company 
come  along  by  the  plain  of  ||Me-on'e-nim. 

38  Then  said  Ze'bul  unto  him,  Where  is  now  thy  mouth, 
wherewith  thou-^saidst.  Who  is  A-bim'e-lech,  that  we  should 
serve  him  ?  is  not  this  the  people  that  thou  hast  despised  ? 
go  out,  I  pray  now,  and  fight  with  them. 

39  And  Ga'al  went  out  before  the  men  of  She'chem,  and 
fought  with  A-bim'e-lech. 

40  And  A-bim'e-lech  chased  him,  and  he  fled  before  him, 
and  many  were  overthrown  and  wounded,  even  unto  the 
entering  of  the  gate. 

41  And  A-bim'e-Iech  dwelt  at  A-ru'mah :  and  Ze'bul  thrust 
out  Ga'al  and  his  brethren,  that  they  should  not  dwell  in 
She'chem. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  the  people 
went  out  into  the  field ;  and  they  told  A-bim'e-lech. 

43  And  he  took  the  people,  and  divided  them  into  three 
companies,  and  laid  wait  in  the  field,  and  looked,  and, 
behold,  the  people  were  come  forth  out  of  the  city ;  and  he 
rose  up  again.st  them,  and  smote  them. 

44  And  A-bim'e-lech,  and  the  company  that  was  with  him, 
rushed  forward,  and  stood  in  the  entering  of  the  gate  of  the 
city :  and  the  two  other  companies  ran  upon  all  the  people 
that  were  in  the  fields,  and  slew  them. 

45  And  A-bim'e-lech  fought  against  the  city  all  that  day ; 
and  "he  took  the  city,  and  slew  the  people  that  was  therein, 
and  *beat  down  the  city,  and  sowed  it  with  salt. 

46  ^And  when  all  the  men  of  the  tower  of  She'chem 
heard  that,  they  entered  into  a  hold  of  the  house  *of  the 
god  Be'rith. 

47  And  it  was  told  A-bim'e-lech,  that  all  the  men  of  the 
tower  of  She'chem  were  gathered  together. 

48  And  A-bim'e-lech  gat  him  up  to  mount  *Zal'mon,  he  and 
all  the  people  that  were  Avith  him ;  and  A-bim'e-lech  took  an 
axe  in  his  hand,  and  cut  down  a  bough  from  the  trees,  and 
took  it,  and  laid  it  on  his  shoulder,  and  said  unto  the  people 
that  were  with  him.  What  ye  have  seen  fme  do,  make 
haste,  and  do  as  I  have  done. 

49  And  all  the  people  likewise  cut  down  every  man  his 
bough,  and  followed  A-bim'e-lech,  and  put  them  to  the  hold, 
and  set  the  hold  on  fire  upon  them ;  so  that  all  the  men 
of  the  tower  of  She'chem  died  also,  about  a  thousand  men 
and  women. 

50  ^Then  went  A-bim'e-lech  to  The'bez,  and  encamped 
against  The'bez,  and  took  it. 

51  But  there  was  a  strong  tower  within  the  city,  and 
thither  fled  all  the  men  and  women,  and  all  they  of  the 
city,  and  shut  it  to  them,  and  gat  them  up  to  the  top  of 
the  tower. 

52  And  A-bim'e-lech  came  unto  the  tower,  and  fought 
against  it,  and  went  hard  unto  the  door  of  the  tower  to  burn 
it  with  fire. 

53  And  a  certain  woman  'cast  a  piece  of  a  millstone  upon 
A-bime-lech's  head,  and  ail  to-brake  his  skull. 

54  Then  "he  called  hastily  unto  the  young  man  his 
armourbearer,  and  said  unto  him.  Draw  thy  sword,  and 
slay  me,  that  men  say  not  of  me,  A  woman  slew  him.  And 
his  young  man  thrust  him  through,  and  he  died. 

55  And  when  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  saw  that  A-bim'e-lech  was 
dead,  they  departed  every  man  unto  his  place. 

56  ^"Thus  God  rendered  the  wickedness  of  A-bim'e-lech, 
which  he  did  unto  his  father,  in  slaying  his  seventy 
brethren : 

57  And  all  the  evil  of  the  men  of  She'chem  did  God  render 
upon  their  heads :  and  upon  them  came  "the  curse  of  Jo'tham 
the  son  of  Je-rub'ba-al. 


mountains.     And  Ze'bul  said  unto  him.  Thou  seest 
the  shadow  of  the  mountains  as  if  they  were  men. 

37  And  Ga'al  spake  again  and  said,  See,  there  come 
people  down  by  the  'middle  of  the  land,  and  one 
company  cometh  by  the  way  of  Hhe  oak  of  Me-on'e- 

38  nim.  Then  said  Ze'bul  unto  him.  Where  is  now  thy 
mouth,  that  thou  saidst,  Who  is  A-bim'e-lech,  that  we 
should  serve  him?  is  not  this  the  people  that  thou 
hast  despised  ?   go  out  now,  I  pray,  and  fight  with 

39  them.     And    Ga'al    went   out   before  the   men   of 

40  She'chem,  and  fought  with  A-bim'e-lech.  And  A-bim'- 
e-lech chased  him,  and  he  fled  before  him,  and  there 
fell  many  wounded,  even  unto  the  entering  of  the 

41  gate.  And  A-bim'e-lech  dwelt  at  A-ru'mah :  and  Ze'bul 
drave  out  Ga'al  and  his  brethren,  that  they  should 

42  not  dwell  in  She'chem.  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  people  went  out  into  the  field ;  and 

42  they  told  A-bim'e-lech.  And  he  took  the  people,  and 
divided  them  into  three  companies,  and  laid  wait  in  the 
field ;  and  he  looked,  and,  behold,  the  people  came 
forth  out  of  the  city ;  and  he  rose  up  against  them,  and 

44  smote  them.  And  A-bim'e-lech,  and  the  companies 
that  were  with  him,  rushed  forward  and  stood  in  the 
entering  of  the  gate  of  the  city :  and  the  two  com- 
panies rushed  upon  all  that  were  in  the  field,  and 

45  smote  them.  And  A-bim'elech  fought  against  the 
city  all  that  day ;  and  he  took  the  city,  and  slew 
the  people  that  was  therein :  and  he  beat  down  the 
city,  and  sowed  it  with  salt. 

46  And  when  all  the  men  of  the  tower  of  She'chem 
heard   thereof,  they  entered   into  the  hold  of  the 

47  house  of  ^El-be'rith.  And  it  was  told  A-bim'e-lech 
that  all  the  men  of  the  tower  of  She'chem  were  gath- 

48ered  together.  And  A-bim'e-lech  gat  him  up  to 
mount  Zal'mon,  he  and  all  the  people  that  were  with 
him ;  and  A-bim'e-lech  took  %n  axe  in  his  hand,  and 
cut  down  a  bough  from  the  trees,  and  took  it  up, 
and  laid  it  on  his  shoulder :  »and  he  said  unto  the 
people  that  were  with  him.  What  ye  have  seen  me 

49  do,  make  haste,  and  do  as  I  have  done.  And  all 
the  people  likewise  cut  down  every  man  his  bough, 
and  followed  A-bim'e-lech,  and  put  them  to  the  hold, 
and  set  the  hold  on  fire  upon  them ;  so  that  all  the 
men  of  the  tower  of  She  chem  died  also,  about  a 
thousand  men  and  women. 

50  Then  went  A-bim'e-lech  to  The'bez,  and  encamped 

51  against  The'bez,  and  took  it.  But  there  was  a  strong 
tower  within  the  city,  and  thither  fled  all  the  men 
and  women,  and  all  they  of  the  city,  and  shut  them- 
selves in,  and  gat  them  up  to  the  roof  of  the  tower. 

52  And  A-bim'e-lech  came  unto  the  tower,  and  fought 
against  it,  and  went  hard  unto  the  door  of  the  tower 

53  to  burn  it  with  ire.  And  a  certain  woman  cast  an 
upper  millstone  upon  A-bim'e-lech's  head,  and  brake 

54  his  skull.  Then  he  called  hastily  unto  the  young 
man  his  armourbearer,  and  said  unto  him.  Draw  thy 
sword,  and  kill  me,  that  men  say  not  of  me,  A 
woman  slew  him.     And  his  young  man  thrust  him 

55  through,  and  he  died.  And  when  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
saw  that  A-bim'e-lech  was  dead,  they  departed  every 

56  man  unto  his  place.  Thus  God  requited  the  wicked-

CHAPTER    X 

Tola  j'udgeih  Israel  in  Shamir. 

AND  after  A-bim'e-lech  there  "arose  to  ||  fdefeDd  Is'ra-el 
To'la  the  son  of  Pu'ah,  the  son  of  Do'do,  a  man  of 
Is'sa-char;  and  he  dwelt  in  Sha'mir  in  mount  E'phra-im. 

2  And  he  judged  Is'ra-el  twenty  and  three  years,  and  died, 
and  was  buried  in  Sha'mir. 

3  ^And  after  him  arose  Ja'ir,  a  Gil'e-ad-ite,  and  judged 
Is'ra-el  twenty  and  two  years. 

4  And  he  had  thirty  sons  that  ''rode  on  thirty  ass  colts, 
and  they  had  thirty  cities,  "which  are  called  ||  Ha'voth-ja'ir 
unto  this  day,  which  are   in  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad. 

5  And  Ja'ir  died,  and  was  buried  in  Ca'mon. 

6  ^And  ''the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  evil  again  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  and  'served  Ba'al-im,  and  Ash'ta-roth,  and-'the 
gods  of  Syr'i-a,and  the  gods  of  "Zi'don,  and  the  gods  of 
Mo'ab,  and  the  gods  of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  the 
gods  of  the  Phi-lis' tines,  and  forsook  the  Lord,  and  served 
not  him. 

7  And  the  anger  of  the  Loed  "vas  hot  against  Is'ra-el,  and 
he  *sold  them  into  the  hands  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  into 
the  hands  of  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

8  And  that  year  they  vexed  and  foppressed  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el :  eighteen  years,  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that 
were  on  the  other  side  Jor'dan  in  the  land  of  the  Am'o- rites, 
which  is  in  Gil'e-ad. 

9  Moreover  the  children  of  Am'mon  passed  over  Jor'dan,  to 
fight  also  against  Ju'dah,  and  against  Ben'ja-min,  and  against 
the  house  of  E'phra-im;  so  that  Is'ra-el  was  sore  distressed. 

10  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord,  say- 
ing. We  have  sinned  against  thee,  both  because  we  have 
forsaken  our  God,  and  also  served  Ba'al-im. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Did  not 
I  deliver  you  *from  the  E-gyp'  tians,  and  'from  the  Am'o-rites, 
"from  the  children  of  Am'mon,  "and  from  the  Phi-lis'tines? 

12  "The  Zi-do'ni'ans  also,  "and  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  and  the 
Ma'on-ites,  "did  oppress  you ;  and  ye  cried  to  me,  and  I  de- 
livered you  out  of  their  hand. 

13  "^Yet  ye  have  forsaken  me,  and  served  other  gods : 
wherefore  I  will  deliver  you  no  more. 

14  Go  and  'cry  unto  the  gods  which  ye  have  chosen ;  let 
them  deliver  you  in  the  time  of  your  tribulation. 

15  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  the  Lord,  We 
have  sinned :  'do  thou  unto  us  whatsoever  fseemeth  good 
unto  thee ;  deliver  us  only,  we  pray  thee,  this  day. 

16  "And  they  put  away  the  fstrange  gods  from  among 
them,  and  served  the  Lord  :  and  ""his  soul  fwas  grieved  for 
the  misery  of  Is'ra-el. 

17  Then  the  children  of  Am'mon  were  fgathered  together, 
and  encamped  in  Gil'e-ad.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  assem- 
bled themselves  together,  and  encamped  in  "Miz'peh. 

18  And  the  people  and  princes  of  Gil'e-'ad  said  one  to  an- 
other, Vvliat  man  is  he  that  will  begin  to  fight  against  the 
children  of  Am'mon  ?  he  shall  "be  head  over  all  the  inhab- 
itants of  Gil'e-ad. 

CHAPTER  XI 

The  covenant  between  Jephtkath  and  t.  .  '^ileadites. 

"VTO  W  "  Jeph'thah  the  Gil'e-«d-ite  was  *a  mighty  man  of  valour, 
i-'l  andhewastheson  offa  harlot:and  Gil'e-ad  begat  Jeph'thah. 

2  And  Gil'e-ad's  wife  bare  him  sons ;  and  his  wife's  sons 

frew  up,  and  they  thrust  out  Jeph'thah,  and  said  unto  him, 
'hou  shalt  not  inherit  in  our  father's  house ;  for  thou  art 
the  son  of  a  strange  woman. 

3  Then  Jeph'thah  fled  ffrom  his  brethren,  and  dwelt  in  the 
land  of  Tob :  and  there  were  gathered  'vain  men  to  Jeph'- 
thah, and  went  out  with  him. 

4  •[[And  it  came  to  pass  fin  process  of  time,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  made  war  against  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  it  was  so,  that  when  the  children  of  Am'mon  made 


-l-v  And  after  A-bim'e-lech  there  arose  to  save  Is'ra-el 
To'la  the  son  of  Pu'ah,  the  son  of  Do'do,  a  man  of  Is'- 
sa-char ;  and  he  dwelt  in  Sha'mir  in  the  hill  country 

2  of  E'phra-im.  And  he  judged  Is'ra-el  twenty  and 
three  years,  and  died,  and  was  buried  in  Sha'mir. 

3  And  after  him  arose  Ja'ir,  the  Gil'e-ad-ite ;  and  he 
4judged  Is'ra-el  twenty  and  two  years.     And  he  had 

thirty  sons  that  rode  on  thirty  ass  colts,  and  they  had 
thirty  cities,  which  are  called  'Hav'voth-ja'ir  unto  this 

5  day,  which  are  in  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad.  And  Ja'ir 
died,  and  was  buried  in  Ka'mon. 

6  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  again  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  served  the 
Ba'al-im,  and  the  Ash'ta-roth,  and  the  gods  of  ^Syr'i-a, 
and  the  gods  of  Zi'don,  and  the  gods  of  Mo'ab,  and 
the  gods  of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  the  gods  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines  :  and  they  forsook  the  Lord,  and 

7  served  him  not.  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was 
kindled  against  Is'ra-el,  and  he  sold  them  into  the 
hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tineS,  and  into  the  hand  of  the 

8  children  of  Am'mon.  And  they  vexed  and  op-, 
pressed  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  year :  eighteen 
years  oppressed  they  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that 
were  beyond  Jor'dan  in  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rites, 

9  which  is  in  Gil'e-ad.  And  the  children  of  Am'mon 
passed  over  Jor'dan  to  fight  also  against  Ju'dah,  and 
against  Ben'ja-min, andagainst the houseof  E'phra-im: 

10  so  that  Is'ra-el  was  sore  distressed.  And  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  cried  unto  the  Lord,  saying.  We  have  sinned 
against  thee,  even   because  we  have  forsaken    :ur 

11  God,  and  have  served  the  Ba'al-im.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Did  not  /  save  you 
from  the  E-gyp*  tians,  and  from  the  Am'o-rites,  from 
the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  from  the  Phi-lis'tines  ? 

12  The  Zi'do'ni'ans  also,  and  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  and  the 
'Ma'on-ites,  did  oppress  you ;  and  ye  cried  unto  me, 

13  and  I  saved  you  out  of  their  hand.  Yet  ye  have 
forsaken  me,  and  served  other  gods:  wherefore  I 

14  will  save  you  no  more.  Go  and  cry  unto  the  gods 
which  ye  have  chosen ;  let  them   save  you    in   the 

15  time  of  your  distress.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
said  unto  the  Lord,  Wo  have  sinned :  do  thou  unto 
us  whatsoever  seemeth  good  unto  thee;  only  deliver 

16  us,  we  pray  thee,  this  day.  And  they  put  away  the 
strange  gods  from  among  them,  and  served  the 
Lord  :  and  his  soul  was  grieved  for  the  misery  of 
Is'ra-el. 

17  Then  the  children  of  Am'mon  were  gathered  to- 
gether, and  encamped  in  Gil  c-a'l.  And  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  assembled  themselves  together,  and  en- 

18  camped  in  Miz'pah.  An(  he  people,  the  princes  of 
Gil'ead,  said  one  to  another,  What  man  is  he  that 
will  begin  to  fight  against  the  children  of  Am'mon  ? 
he  shall  be  head  over  all  the  inhabitants  of  Gil'e-ad  ? 

J-J-  Now  Jeph'thah  the  Gil'e-ad-ite  was  a  mighty  man  of 
valour,  and  he  was  the  son  of  an  harlot :  and  Gil'e-ad 

2  begat  Jeph'thah.  And  Gil'e-ad's  wife  bare  him  sons : 
and  when  his  wife's  sons  grew  up,  they  drave  out 
Jeph'thah,  and  said  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  inherit 
in  our  father's  house ;  for  thou  art  the  son  of  another 

3  woman.  Then  Jeph'thah  fled  from  his  brethren, 
and  dwelt  in  the  land  of  Tob :  and  there  were 
gathered  vain  fellows  to  Jeph'thah,  and  they  went 
out  with  him. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  after  a  while,  that  the  chil- 
6dren  of  Am'mon  made  war  against  Is'ra-el.     And  it 

was    so,  that  when  the  children  of  Am'mon  made

war  against  Is'ra-el,  the   elders  of  Gil'e-ad  went   to   fetch 
Jeph'thah  out  of  the  land  of  Tob: 

6  And  they  said  unto  Jeph'thah,  Come,  and  be  our  cajitain, 
that  we  may  fight  with  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

7  And  Jeph'thah  said  unto  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad,  ''Did  not 
ye  hate  me,  and  expel  me  out  of  my  father's  house?  and 
why  are  ye  come  unto  me  now  when  ye  are  in  distress? 

8  "And  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad  said  unto  Jeph'thah,  There- 
fore we  -^turn  again  to  thee  now,  that  thou  mayest  go  with 
us,  and  fight  against  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  be  'our 
head  over  all  the  inhabitants  of  Gil'e-ad. 

9  And  Jeph'thah  .said  unto  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad,  If  ye  bring 
me  home  again  to  fight  against  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and 
the  LoKD  deliver  them  before  me,  shall  I  be   your  head? 

10  And  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad  said  unto  Jeph'thah,  'The 
Lord  fbe  witness  between  us,  if  we  do  not  so  according  to 
thy  words. 

11  Then  Jeph'thah  went  Avith  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  the 
people  made  him  'head  and  captain  over  them :  and  Jeph'- 
thah uttered  all  his  words  *before  the  Lord  in  Miz'peh. 

12  l[And  Jeph'thah  sent  messengers  unto  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon,  saying.  What  hast  thou  to  do  with  me, 
that  thou  art  come  against  me  to  fight  in  my  land? 

13  And  the  king  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  answered  unto 
the  messenger  of  Jeph'thah,  'Because  Is'ra-el  took  away  my 
land,  when  they  came  up  out  of  E'gypt,  from  Ar'non  even 
unto  "Jab'bok,  and  unto  Jor'dan :  now  therefore  restore  those 
lands  again  peaceably. 

14  And  Jeph'thah  sent  messengers  again  unto  the  king  of 
the  children  of  Am'mon  : 

15  And  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  Jeph'thah,  "Is'ra-el  took 
not  away  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  nor  the  land  of  the  children  of 
Am'mon : 

16  But  when  Is'ra-el  came  up  from  E'gypt,  and  "walked 
through  the  wilderness  unto  the  Red  sea,  and  'came  to 
Ka'desh ; 

17  Then  «Is'ra-el  sent  messengers  unto  the  king  of  E'dom, 
.saying.  Let  me,  I  pray  thee,  pass  through  thy  land :  'but 
the  king  of  E'dom  would  not  hearken  thereto.  And  in  like 
manner  they  sent  unto  the  king  of  Mo'ab;  but  he  would  not 
consent:  and  Is'ra-el  'abode  in  Ka'desh. 

18  Then  they  went  along  through,  the  wilderness,  and 
'compassed  the  land  of  E'dom,  and  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  and 
"came  by  the  east  side  of  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  "and  pitched 
on  the  other  side  of  Ar'non,  but  came  not  within  the  border 
of  Mo'ab:  for  Ar'non  was  the  border  of  Mo'ab. 

19  And  "Is'ra-el  sent  messengers  unto  Si'hon  king  of  the 
Am'o-rites,  the  kingof  Hesh'bon  ;  and  Is'ra-el  said  unto  him, 
'Let  us  pass,  we  pray  thee,  through  thy  land  unto  my  place. 

20  "But  Si'hon  trusted  not  Is'ra-el  to  pa.ss  through  his  coast : 
but  Si'hon  gathered  all  his  people  together,  and  pitched  in 
Ja'haz,  and  fought  against  Is'ra-el. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  delivered  Si'hon  and  all 
his  people  into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  ''smote  them : 
so  Is'ra-el  possessed  all  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rites,  the  in- 
habitants of  that  country. 

22  And  they  possessed  "all  the  coast  of  the  Am'o-rites, 
from  Ar'non  even  unto  Jab'bok,  and  from  the  wilderness 
even  unto  Jor'dan. 

23  So  now  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  hath  dispossessed  the 
Am'o-rites  from  before  his  people  Is'ra-el,  and  shouldest 
thou  possess  it? 

24  Wilt  not  thou  possess  that  which  ''Che'mosh  thy  god 
giveth  thee  to  possess?  So  whomsoever  'the  Lord  our 
God  shall  drive  out  from  before  us,  them  will  we  possess. 

25  And  now  art  thou  any  thing  better  than  ■''Ba'lak  the  son 
of  Zip'por  king  of  Mo'ab?  did  he  ever  strive  against  Is'- 
ra-el, or  did  he  ever  fight  against  them?

6  Jeph'thah  out  of  the  land  of  Tob  :  and  they  said  unto 
Jeph'thah,  Come  and  be  our  chief,  that  we  may  fight 

7  with  the  children  of  Am'mon.  And  Jeph'thah  said 
unto  the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad,  Did  not  ye  hate  me,  and 
drive  me  out  of  my  father's  house  ?  and  why  are  ye 

8 come  unto  me  now  when  ye  are  in  distress?  And 
the  elders  of  Gil'e-ad  said  unto  Jeph'thah,  Therefore 
are  we  turned  again  to  thee  now,  that  thou  mayest 
go  with  us,  and  fight  with  the  children  of  Am'mom, 
and  thou  shalt  be  our  head  over  all  the  inhabitants 

9  of  Gil'e-ad.  And  Jeph'thah  said  unto  the  elders  of 
Gil'e-ad,  If  ye  bring  me  home  again  to  fight  with  the 
children  of  Am'mon,  and  the  Lord  deliver  them 
10 before  me,  shall  I  be  your  head?  And  the  elders 
of  Gil'e-ad  said  unto  Jeph'thah,  The  Lord  shall  be 
'witness  between  us;  surely  according  to  thy  word 

11  so  will  we  do.  Then  Jeph'thah  went  with  the  elders 
of  Gil'e-ad,  and  the  people  made  him  head  and  chief 
over  them :  and  Jeph'thah  spake  all  his  words  before 
the  Lord  in  Miz'pah. 

12  And  Jeph'thah  sent  messengers  unto  the  king  of 
the  children  of  Am'mon,  saying.  What  hast  thou  to 
do  with  me,  that  thou  art  come  unto   me  to    fight 

13against  my  land?  And  the  king  of  the  children  of 
Am'mon  answered  unto  the  messengers  of  Jeph'thah, 
Because  Is'ra-el  took  away  my  land,  when  he  came 
up  out  of  E'gypt,  from  Ar'non  even  unto  Jab'bok, 
and  unto  Jor'dan :  now  therefore  restore  those  lands 

14  again  peaceably.     And   Jeph'thah   sent   messengers 

15  again  unto  the  king  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  :  and 
he  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  Jeph'thah ;  Is'ra-el  took 
not  away  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  nor  the  land  of  the  chil- 

16dren  of  Am'mon:  but  when  they  came  up  from 
E'gypt,  and  Is'ra-el  walked  through  the  wilderness 

17  unto  the  Red  Sea,  and  came  to  Ka'desh ;  then  Is'ra-el 
sent  messengers  unto  the  king  of  E'dom,  saying.  Let 
me,  I  pray  thee,  pass  through  thy  land:  but  the 
kingof  E'dom  hearkened  not.  And  in  like  manner 
he  sent  unto  the  king  of  Mo'ab :  but  he  would  not : 

18  and  Is'ra-el  abode  in  Ka'desh.  Then  he  walked 
through  the  wilderness,  and  compassed  the  land 
of  E'dom,  and  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  and  came  by  the 
east  side  of  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  and  they  pitched  on 
the  other  side  of  Ar'non;  but  they  came  not  within 
the  border  of  Mo'ab,  for  Ar'non  was  the  border  of 

19Mo'8''  And  Is'ra-el  sent  messengers  unto  Si'hon 
king  oi  the  Am'o-rites,  the  king  of  Hesh'bon  ;  and 
Is'ra-el  said  unto  him,  Let  us  pass,  we   pray  thee, 

20  through  thy  land  unto  my  place.  But  Si'hon  trusted 
not  Is'ra-el  to  pass  through  his  border:  but  Si'hon 
gathered    all   his    people   together,    and   pitched   in 

21  Ja'haz,  and  fought  against  Is'ra-el.  And  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  delivered  Si'hon  and  all  his  people 
into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  smote  them :  so 
Is'ra-el  possessed  all  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rites,  the  in- 

22  habitants  of  that  country.  And  they  possessed  all 
the  border  of  the  Am'o-rites,  from  Ar'non  even  unto 
Jab'bok,  and  from  the  wilderness  even  unto  Jor'dan. 

23  So  now  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  hath  dispos- 
sessed the  Am'o-rites  from  before  his  people  Is'ra-el, 

24 and  shouldest  thou  possess  them?  Wilt  not  thou 
possess  that  which  Che'mosh  thy  god  giveth  thee 
to  possess?  So  whomsoever  the  Lord  our  God 
hath  dispossessed  from  before  us,  them  will  we  pos- 

25  sess.  And  now  art  thou  any  thing  better  than  Ba'lak 
the  son  of  Zip'por,  king  of  Mo'ab  ?  did  he  ever  strive 
against  Is'ra-el,  or  did  he  ever  fight  against  thera?K'^''- 

26  While  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  Hesh'bon  and  her  ^towns,  and  i  len.

in  '"Ar'o-er  and  her  towns,  and  in  all  the  cities  that  he  along 
by  the  coasts  of  Ar'non,  three  hundred  years  ?  why  therefore 
did  ye  not  recover  them  within  that  time  ? 

27  Wherefore  I  have  not  sinned  against  thee,  but  thou 
doest  me  wrong  to  war  against  me :  the  Lord  'the  Judge 
*be  judge  this  day  between  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and  the 
children  of  Am'mon, 

28  Howbeit,  the  king  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  hearkened 
not  unto  the  words  of  Jeph'thah  which  he  sent  him. 

^9  l[Then  'the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  came  upon  |{  Jeph'thah, 
and  he  passed  over  Gil'e-ad,  and  Ma-nas'seh,  and  passed 
over  Miz'peh  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  from  Miz'peh  of  Gil'e-ad  he 
passed  over  unto  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

30  And  Jeph'thah  ""vowed  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  said. 
If  thou  shalt  without  fail  deliver  the  children  of  Am'mon 
into  mine  hands, 

31  Then  it  shall  be,  that  fwhatsoever  cometh  forth  of  the 
doors  of  my  house  to  meet  me,  when  I  return  in  peace  from 
the  children  of  Am'mon,  "shall  surely  be  the  Lord's  H^and 
I  will  offer  it  up  for  a  burnt  offering. 

32  ^So  Jeph'thah  passed  over  unto  the  children  of  Am'- 
mon to  fight  against  them ;  and  the  Lord  delivered  them 
into  his  hands. 

33  And  he  smote  them  from  Ar'o-er,  even  till  thou  come  to 
''Min'nith,  even  twenty  cities,  and  unto  ||  the  plain  of  the 
vineyards,  with  a  very  great  slaughter.  Thus  the  children 
of  Am'mon  were  subdued  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

34  ^And  Jeph'thah  came  to  «Miz'peh  unto  his  house,  and, 
behold,  'his  daughter  came  out  to  meet  him  with  timbrels 
and  with  dances:  and  she  was  his  only  child;  1 1 fbesides her 
he  had  neither  son  nor  daughter. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  saw  her,  that  he  'rent 
his  clothes,  and  said,  Alas,  my  daughter !  thou  hast  brought 
me  very  low,  and  thou  art  one  of  them  that  trouble  me :  for 
I  'have  opened  my  mouth  unto  the  Lord,  and  "I  cannot 
go  back. 

36  And  she  said  unto  him,  My  father,  if  thou  hast  opened 
thy  month  unto  the  Lord,  "^do  to  me  according  to  that 
which  hath  proceeded  out  of  thy  mouth ;  forasmuch  as  "the 
Lord  hath  taken  vengeance  for  thee  of  thine  enemies,  even 
of  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

37  And  she  said  unto  her  father,  Let  this  thing  be  done 
for  me :  let  me  alone  two  months,  that  I  may  fgo  up  and 
down  upon  the  mountains,  and  bewail  my  virginity,  I  and 
my  fellows. 

38  And  he  said.  Go.  And  he  sent  her  away  for  two 
months :  and  she  went  with  her  companions,  and  bewailed 
her  virginity  upon  the  mountains. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  two  months,  that 
she  returned  unto  her  father,  who  'did  with  her  according 
to  his  vow  which  he  had  vowed:  and  she  knew  no  man. 
And  it  was  a  ||  custom  in  I.s'ra-el, 

40  That  the  daughters  of  Is'ra-el  went  fyearly  ||  to  lament 
the  daughter  of  Jeph'thah  the  Gil'e-ad-ite  four  days  in  a  year. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Tlfttf  Ephraimites  are  slain  by  the  Gileadites. 

AND  "the  men  of  E'phra'im  fgathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  went  northward,  and  said  unto  Jeph'thah, 
Wherefore  passedst  thou  over  to  fight  against  the  children 
of  Am'mon,  and  didst  not  call  us  to  go  with  thee  ?  we  will 
burn  thine  house  upon  thee  with  fire. 

2  And  Jeph'thah  said  unto  them,  I  and  my  people  were 
at  great  strife  with  the  children  of  Am'mon  ;  and  when  I 
called  you,  ye  delivered  me  not  out  of  their  hands. 

3  And  when  I  saw  that  ye  delivered  me  not,  I  ''put  my 
life  in  my  hands,  and  passed  over  against  the  children  of 
Am'mon,  and  the  Lord  delivered  them  into  my  hand: 
wherefore  then  are  ye  come  up  unto  me  this  day,  to  fight 
against  me? 


in  Ar'o-er  and  her  'towns,  and  in  all  the  cities  that 
are  along  by  the  side  of  Ar'non,  three  hnndred 
years;  wherefore  did  ye  not  recover  them  within 
27 that  time?  I  therefore  have  not  sinned  against 
thee,  but  thou  doest  me  wrong  to  war  against  me : 
the  Lord,  the  Judge,  be  judge  this  day  between  the 
children   of  Is'ra-el  and  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

28  Howbeit  the  king  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  heark- 
ened not  unto  the  words  of  Jeph'thah  which  he  sent 
him. 

29  Then  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  came  upon  Jeph'thah, 
an  d  he  passed  over  Gil'e-ad  and  Ma-nas'seh,  an  d  passed 
over  Miz'peh  of  Gil'e-ad,  and  from  Miz'peh  of  Gil'e-ad 

30  he  passed  over  unto  the  children  of  Am'mon.  And 
Jeph'thah  vowed  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  If 
thou  wilt  indeed  deliver  the  children  of  Am'mon  into 

31  mine  hand,  then  it  shall  be,  that  Whatsoever  cometh 
forth  of  the  doors  of  my  house  to  meet  me,  when  I 
return  in  peace  from  the  children  of  Am'mon,  it  shall 
be  the  Lord's,  and  I  will  offer  it  up  for  a  burnt  offer- 

32  ing.  So  Jeph'thah  passed  over  unto  the  children  of 
Am'mon  to  fight  against  them ;  and  the  Lord  deliv- 

33  ered  them  into  his  hand.  And  he  smote  them  from 
Ar'o-er  until  thou  come  to  Min'nith,  even  twenty 
cities,  and  unto  ^A'bel-che'ra-mim,  with  a  very  great 
slaughter.  So  the  children  of  Am'mon  were  sub- 
dued before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

34  And  Jeph'thah  came  to  Miz'pab  unto  his  house, 
and,  behold,  his  daughter  came  out  to  meet  him 
with  timbrels  and  with  dances :  and  she  was  his 
only    child;    beside    her  he    had   neither  son   nor 

35  daughter.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  saw  her, 
that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  said,  Alas,  my  daugh- 
ter !  thou  hast  brought  me  very  low,  and  thou  art 
one  of  them  that  trouble  me :  for  I  have  opened  my 

36  mouth  unto  the  Lord,  and  I  cannot  go  back.  And 
she  said  unto  him.  My  father,  thou  hast  opened  thy 
mouth  unto  the  Lord  ;  do  unto  me  according  to 
that  which  hath  proceeded  out  of  thy  mouth ;  forp,s- 
much  as  the  Lord  hath  taken  vengeance  for  thee  of 

37  thine  enemies,  even  of  the  children  of  Am'mon.  And 
she  said  unto  her  father.  Let  this  thing  be  done  for 
me:  let  me  alone  two  months,  that  I  may  depart 
and  go  down   upon  the  mountains,  and  bewail  my 

38  virginity,  I  and  my  companions.  And  he  said.  Go. 
And  he  sent  her  away  for  two  months :  and  she  de- 
parted, she  and  her  companions,  and  bewailed  her 

39  virginity  upon  the  mountains.  And  it  came  to  pass 
at  the  end  of  two  months,  that  she  returned  unto 
her  father,  who  did  with  her  according  to  his  v^ow 
which  he  had  vowed :  and  she  had  not  known  ir.:in. 

40  And  it  was  %  custom  in  Is'ra-el,  that  the  daughters 
of  Is'ra-el  went  yearly  to  ^celebrate  the  daughter  of 
Jeph'thah  the  Gil'e-ad-ite  four  days  in  a  year. 

-L^  And  the  men  of  E'phra-im  were  gathered  togetner, 
and  passed  'northward ;  and  'they  said  unto  Jeph- 
thah.  Wherefore  passedst  thou  over  to  fight  against 
the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  didst  not  call  us  to  go 
with  thee?   we  will  burn  thine    house  upon  thee 

2  with  fire.  And  Jeph'thah  said  unto  them,  I  and 
my  people  were  at  great  strife  with  the  children  of 
Am'mon ;  and  when  I  called  you,  ye  saved  me  not 

3  out  of  their  hand.  And  when  I  saw  that  ye  saved 
me  not,  I  put  my  life  in  my  hand,  and  passed  over 
against  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  the  Ix)RD  de- 
livered them  into  my  hand:  wherefore  then  are  ye 
come  up  unto    me  this  day,  to   fight  against  me  ?

4  Then  Jeph'thah  gathered  together  all  the  men  of  Gil'e-ad, 
and  fought  with  E'phra-im :  and  the  men  of  Gil'e-ad  smote 
E'phra-im,  because  they  said,  Ye  Gil'e-ad-ites  'are  fugitives 
of  E'phra-im  among  the  E'phra-im-ites,  and  among  the 
Ma-nas'sites. 

5  And  the  Gil'e-ad-ites  took  the  ''passages  of  Jor'dan  be- 
fore the  E'phra-im-ites:  and  it  was  so,  that  when  those 
E'phra-im-ites  which  were  escaped  said,  Let  me  go  over, 
that  the  men  of  Gil'e-ad  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  an  E'phra- 
im-ite  ?     If  he  said,  Nay ; 

6  Then  said  they  unto  him,  Say  now  1 1  Shib'bo-leth :  and 
he  said  Sib'bo-leth :  for  he  could  not  frame  to  pronounce  it 
right.  Then  they  took  him  and  slew  him  at  the  passages 
of  Jor'dan.  And  there  fell  at  that  time  of  the  E'phra-im-ites 
forty  and  two  thousand. 

7  And  Jeph'thah  judged  Is'ra-el  six  years.  Then  died 
Jeph'thah  the  Gil'e-ad-ite,  and  was  buried  in  one  of  the 
cities  of  Gil'e-ad. 

8  ^And  after  him  ||  Ib'zan  of  Beth'-le-hera  judged  Is'ra-el. 

9  And  he  had  thirty  sons,  and  thirty  daughters,  whom  be 
sent  abroad,  and  took  in  thirty  daughters  from  abroad  for 
his  sons.     And  he  judged  Is'ra-el  seven  years. 

10  Then  died  Ib'zan,  and  was  buried  at  Beth'-le-hem. 

11  ^And  after  him  ||  E'lon,  a  Zeb'u-lon-ite,  judged  Is'ra-el, 
and  he  judged  Is'ra-el  ten  years. 

12  And  E'lon,  the  Zeb'u-lon-ite  died,  and  was  buried  in 
Ai'ja-lon  in  the  country  of  Zeb'u-lun. 

13  51  And  after  him  ||  Ab'don  the  son  of  Hil'lel,  a  Pir'a- 
thon-ite,  judged  Is'ra-el. 

14  And  he  had  forty  sons  and  thirty  fnephews,  that  'rode  on 
threescore  and  ten  a.ss  colts :  and  he  judged  Is'ra-el  eight  years. 

15  And  Ab'don  the  son  of  Hil'lel  the  Pir'a-thon-ite  died, 
and  was  buried  in  Pir'a-thon  in  the  land  of  E'phra-im,  in 
the  mount  of  the  Am'a-lek-ites. 

CHAPTER    XIII. 

Israel  is  in  the  hand  of  the  Philistines — Samson  is  born. 

AND  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  t''did  evil  again  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord  ;  ||  and  the  Lord  delivered  them  ''into  the 
hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  forty  years. 

2  ^And  there  was  a  certain  man  of  ""Zo'rah,  of  the  family 
of  the  Dan'ites,  whose  name  was  Ma-no'ah ;  and  his  wife 
was  barren,  and  bare  not. 

3  And  the  ''angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  the  woman, 
and  said  unto  her.  Behold,  now,  thou  art  barren,  and  bearest 
not :  but  thou  shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a  son. 

4  Now  therefore,  beware  I  pray  thee,  and  'drink  not  wine, 
nor  strong  drink,  and  eat  not  any  unclean  thing  : 

5  For,  lo,  thou  shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a  son ;  and  no 
-'^razor  shall  come  on  his  head  :  for  the  child  shall  be  "a 
Naz'a-rite  unto  God  from  the  womb :  and  he  shall  ''begin  to 
deliver  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

6  ^Then  the  woman  came  and  told  her  husband,  saying, 
'A  man  of  God  came  unto  me,  and  his  ^countenance  was 
like  the  countenance  of  an  angel  of  God,  very  terrible :  but  I 
'asked  him  not  whence  he  was,  neither  told  he  me  his  name  : 

7  But  he  said  unto  me,  Behold,  thou  shalt  conceive,  and 
bear  a  son  ;  and  now  drink  no  wine  nor  strong  drink,  neither 
eat  any  unclean  thing :  for  the  child  shall  be  a  Naz'a-rite  to 
God  from  the  womb  to  the  day  of  his  death. 

8  ^[Then  Ma-no'ah  entreated  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  my 
Lord,  let  the  man  of  God  which  thou  didst  send  come  again 
unto  us,  and  teach  us  what  we  shall  do  unto  the  child  that 
shall  be  born. 

9  And  God  hearkened  to  the  voice  of  Ma-no'ah ;  and  the 
angel  of  God  came  again  unto  the  woman  as  she  sat  in  the 
field :  but  Ma-no'ah  her  husband  ^cas  not  with  her. 

10  And  the  woman  made  haste,  and  ran,  and  shewed  her 
husband,  and  said  unto  him,  Behold,  the  man  hath  appeared 
unto  me,  that  came  unto  me  the  other  day. 


4  Then  Jeph'thah  gathered  together  all  the  men  of 
Cril'e-ad,  and  fought  with  E'phra-im :  and  the  men  of 
Gi'le-ad  smote  E'phra-im,  because  they  said,  Ye  are 
fugitives  of  E'phra-im,  ye  Gil'e-ad-ites,  in  the  midst  of 

5  E'phra-im,  and  in  the  midst  of  Ma-nas'seh.  And  the 
Gil'e-ad-ites  took  the  fords  of  Jor'dan  'against  the 
E'phra-im-ites :  and  it  was  so,  that  when  any  of  the 
fugitives  of  E'phra-im  said.  Let  me  go  over,  the  men 
of  Gil'e-ad  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  an  E'phra-im-ite  ? 

6  If  he  said.  Nay ;  then  said  they  unto  him.  Say  now 
Shib'bo-leth ;  and  he  said  Sib'bo-leth ;  for  he  could  not 
frame  to  pronounce  it  right ;  then  they  laid  hold  on 
him,  and  slew  him  at  the  fords  of  Jor'dan  :  and  there 
fell  at  that  time  of  E'phra-im  forty  and  two  thousand. 

7  And  Jeph'thah  judged  Is'ra-el  six  years.  Then 
died  Jeph'thah  the  Gil'e-ad-ite,  and  was  buried  in 
one  of  the  cities  of  Gil'e-ad. 

8  And  after  him  Ib'zan  of  Beth'-le-hem  j  udged  Is'ra-el 

9  And  he  had  thirty  sons,  and  thirty  daughters  he  sent 
abroad,  and  thirty  daughters  he  brought  in  from 
abroad  for  his  sons.     And  he  judged  Is'ra-el  seven 

10  years.  And  Ib'zan  died,  and  was  buried  at  Beth'-le-hem 

11  And  after    him  E'lon    the   Zeb'u-lun-ite  judged 
12 Is'ra-el;  and  he  judged    Is'ra-el  ten    years.     And 

E'lon    the   Zeb'u-lun-ite    died,  and   was  buried  in 

Ai'ja-lon  in  the  land  of  Zeb'u-lun. 

13      And  after  him  Ab'don  the  son  of  Hil'lel  the  Pir'a 

14thon-ite   judged    Is'ra-el.     And   he    had  forty  sons 

and   thirty   sons'   sons,  that  rode  on  threescore  and 

ten  ass  colts:  and  he  judged  Is'ra-el   eight  years 

15  And   Ab'don  the  son  of  Hil'lel  the  Pir'a-thon-ite 

died,  and  was  buried  in  Pir'a-thon  in  the  land  of 

E'phra-im,  in  the  hill  country  of  the  Am'a-lek-ites. 

■*-0  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  again  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  deliv- 
ered them  into  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  forty  years. 

2  And  there  was  a  certain  man  of  Zo'rah,  of  the 
family  of  the  Dan'ites,  whose  name  was   Ma-no'ah; 

3  and  his  wife  was  barren,  and  bare  not.  And  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  the  woman,  and 
said  unto  her.  Behold  now,  thou  art  barren,  and 
bearest  not :  but  thou  shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a  son. 

4  Now  therefore  beware,'  I  pray  thee,  and  drink  no 
wine    nor    strong    drink,  and  eat  not  any   unclean 

5  thing :  for,  lo,  thou  shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a  son ; 
and  no  razor  shall  come  upon  his  head :  for  the 
child  shall  be  a  ^Naz'i-rite  unto  God  from  the  womb : 
and  he  shall  begin  to  save  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  hand  of 

6  the  Phi-lis'tines.  Then  the  woman  came  and  told  her 
husband,  saying,  A  man  of  God  came  unto  me,  and 
his  countenance  was  like  the  countenance  of  the 
angel  of  God,  very  terrible ;  and  I  asked  him   not 

7  whence  he  was,  neither  told  he  me  his  name  :  but  he 
said  unto  me.  Behold,  thou  shalt  conceive,  and  bear 
a  son ;  and  now  drink  no  wine  nor  strong  drink,  and 
eat  not  any  unclean  thing :  for  the  child  shall  be  a 
Naz'i-rite  unto  God  from  the  womb  to  the  day  of  his 

8  death.  Then  Ma-no'ah  iutreated  the  Lord,  and  said, 
Oh  Lord,  I  pray  thee,  let  the  man  of  God  whom  thou 
didst  send  come  again  unto  us,  and  teach  us  what  we 

9  shall  do  unto  the  child  that  shall  be  born.  And  God 
hearkened  to  the  voice  of  Ma-no'ah ;  and  the  angel 
of  God  came  again  unto  the  woman  as  she  sat  in  the 
field :  but  Ma-no'ah  her  husband  was  not  with  her. 

10  And  the  woman  made  haste,  and  ran,  and  told  her 
husband,  and  said  unto  him.  Behold,  the  man  hath 
appeared  unto  me,  that  came  unto  me  the  other  day.

11  And  Ma-no'ali  arosej  and  went  after  his  wife,  and  came 
to  the  man,  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  the  ^n  that 
spakest  unto  tde  woman?     And  he  said,  I  am. 

12  And  Ma-no'ah  said,  Now  let  thy  words  come  to  pass.f  How 
shall  we  order  the  child,  and  || fAow  shall  we  do  unto  him? 

13  And  the  angel  of  the  Lokd  said  unto  Ma-no'ah,  Of  all 
that  I  said  unto  the  woman  let  her  beware. 

14  She  may  not  eat  of  any  thing  that  cometh  of  the  vine, 
""neither  let  her  drink  wine  or  strong  drink,  nor  eat  any  un- 
clean thing:  all  that  I  commanded  her  let  her  observe. 

15  ^And  Ma-no'ah  said  unto  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  I 
pray  thee,  "let  us  detain  thee,  until  we  shall  have  made 
ready  a  kid  ffor  thee. 

16  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  sai  unto  Ma-no'ah,  Though 
thou  detain  me,  I  will  not  eat  of  thy  bread :  and  if  thou  wilt 
offer  a  burnt  offering,  thou  must  offer  it  unto  the  Lord. 
For  Ma-no'ah  knew  not  that  he  was  an  angel  of  the  Lord, 

17  And  Ma-no'ah  said  unto  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  What 
is  thy  name,  that  when  thy  sayings  come  to  pass  we  may 
do  thee  honour? 

18  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  "Why  ask- 
est  thou  thus  after  my  name,  seeing  it  is  \\  secret? 

19  So  Ma-no'ah  took  a  kid,  with  a  meat  offering,  'and 
offered  it  upon  rock  unto  the  Lord:  and  the  angel  did 
wondrously,  and  Ma-no'ah  and  his  wife  looked  on. 

20  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  flame  went  up  toward 
heaven  from  off  the  altar,  that  the  angel  of  the  Lord  a.s- 
cended  in  the  flame  ^f  the  altar :  and  Ma-no'ah  and  his  wife 
looked  on  it,  and  'f'-ll  on  their  faces  to  the  ground. 

21  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord  did  no  more  appear  to 
Ma-no'ah  and  to  his  wife.  'Then  Ma-no'ah  knew  that  he  was 
an  angel  of  the  Lord. 

22  And  Ma-no'ah  said  unto  his  wife,  'We  shall  surely  die, 
because  we  have  seen  God. 

23  But  his  wife  said  unto  him,  If  the  Lord  were  pleased 
to  kill  us,  he  .would  not  have  received  a  burnt  offering  and 
a  meat  offering  at  our  hands,  neither  would  he  have  shewed 
us  all  these  things,  nor  would  as  at  this  time  have  told  u.s 
such  things  as  these. 

24  "^And  the  woman  bare  a  son,  and  called  his  name 
'Sam'son.     And  "th    child  grew,  and  the  Lord  blessed  him. 

25  "'And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  began  to  move  him  at 
times  in  fthe  camp  of  Dan,  "between  Zo'rah  and  Esh'ta-ol. 

CHAPTER    XIV. 

SaTnson  desireth  •  wife  of  the  Philistines. 

AND  Sam'son    went    down   "to    Tim'nath,   and   'saw  a 
woman  in  Tim'nath  of  the  daughters  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

2  And  he  came  up,  and  told  his  father  and  his  mother,  and 
said,  I  have  seen  a  woman  in  Tim'nath  of  the  daughters  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines:  now  therefore  ""get  her  for  me  to  wife. 

3  Then  his  father  and  his  mother  said  unto  him,  Is  there 
never  a  woman  among  the  daughters  of  ''thy  brethren,  or 
among  all  my  people,  that  thou  goest  to  take  a  wife  of  the 
'uncircumcised  Phi-lis'tines?  And  Sam'son  said  unto  his 
father,  Get  her  for  me ;  for  fshe  pleaseth  me  well. 

4  But  his  father  and  his  mother  knew  not  that  it  vas 
•^of  the  Lord,  that  he  sought  an  occasion  against  the 
Phi-lis'tines:  for  at  that  time  'the  Phi-lis'tines  had  domin- 
ion over  Is'ra-el. 

5  ^fThen  went  Sam'son  down,  and  his  father  and  his 
mother,  to  Tim'nath,  and  came  to  the  vineyards  of  Tim'nath, 
and,  behold,  a  young  lion  roared  fagainst  him. 

6  And  ''the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  came  mightily  upon  him, 
and  he  rent  him  as  he  woald  have  rent  a  kid,  and  he  had 
nothing  in  his  hand :  but  he  told  not  his  father  or  his  mother 
what  he  had  done. 

7  And  he  went  down,  and  talked  with  the  woman ;  and 
she  pleased  Sam'son  well. 

8  T[And  after  a  time  he  returned  to  take  her,  and  he  turned 


11  And  Ma-mo'ah  arose,  aad  w^nt  after  his  wife,  and 
came  to  the  man,  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  the 
man  that  spakest  unto  the  woman?     And  he  said, 

121  am.  And  Ma-no'ah  said,  'Now  let  thy  words 
come  to  pass:   what   shall   be   the  ^manner  of  the 

13 child,  and  ^what  shall  be  his  work?  And  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  said  unto  Ma-no'ah,  Of  all  that  I  said 

14  unto  the  woman  let  her  beware.  She  may  not  eat 
of  any  thing  that  cometh  of  the  H-ine,  neither  let 
her  drink  wine  or  strong  drink,  nor  eat  any  unclean 

15  thing ;  all  that  I  commanded  her  let  her  observe.  And 
Ma-no'ah  said  imto  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  I  pray  thee, 
let  us  detain  thee,  that  we  may  make  ready  a  kid  for 

16  thee.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  Ma-no'ah, 
Though  thou  detain  me,  I  will  not  eat  of  thy  bread : 
and  if  thou  wilt  make  ready  a  burnt  offering,  thou 
must  off     it  unto  the  Lord.     For  Ma-no'ah  knew 

17  not  that  he  was  the  angel  of  the  Lord.  And  Ma- 
no'ah  said  unto  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  What  is  thy 
name,  that  when  thy  words  come  to  pass  we  may  do 

18  thee  honour?  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto 
him.  Wherefore  askest  thou  after  my  name,  seeing 

19 it  is  'wonderful?  So  Ma-no'ah  took  the  kid  with  the 
meal  offering,  and  offered  it  upon  the  rock  untc  the 
Lord  :  and  the  angel  did  wondrously,  ;*nd  Ma-no'ah 

20  and  his  wife  looked  on.  For  it  same  to  pass,  when 
the  flame  went  up  toward  heaven  from  off  the  altar, 
that  the  angel  of  the  Lord  ascended  in  the  flame  of 
the  altar :  and  Ma-no'ah  and  his  wife  looked  on  ;  and 

21  they  fell  on  their  faces  to  the  ground.  But  the 
angel  f  the  Lord  did  no  more  appear  to  Ma-no'ah 
or  to  his  wife.     Then  Ma-no'ah  knew  that  he  was  the 

22  angel  of  the  Lord.  And  Ma-no'ah  said  unto  his  wife, 
We   shall  surely  die,  because  we  have  seen    God. 

23  But  his  wife  said  unto  him.  If  the  Lord  were  pleased 
to  kill  us,  he  would  not  have  received  a  burnt  offer- 
ing and  a  meal  offering  at  our  hand,  neither  would 
he  have  shewed  us  all   these  things,  nor  would  at 

24  this  time  have  tolrf  such  things  as  these.  And  the 
woman  bare  a  son,  and  called  his  name  'Sam'son : 

25  and  the  child  grew,  and  the  Lord  blessed  him.  And 
the  spirit  of  the  Lord  began  to  move  him  in  'Ma- 
ha'neh-dan,  between  Zo'rah  and  Esh'ta-ol. 

4^^  And  Sam'son  went  down  to  Tim'nah,  and  saw  a 
woman  in  Tim'nah  of  the  daughters  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

2  And  he  came  up,  and  told  his  father  and  his  mother, 
and  said,  I  have  seen  a  woman  in  Tim'nah  of  the 
daughters  of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  now  therefore  get  her 

3  for  me  to  wife.  Then  his  father  and  his  mother 
said  unto  him.  Is  there  never  a  woman  :imong  the 
daughters  of  thy  brethren,  or  among  all  my  people, 
that  thou  goest  to  take  a  wife  of  the  iincircumcised 
Phi-lis'tines?    And  Sam'son  said   unto  his  father, 

4 Get  her  for  me;  for  she  pleaseth  me  well  But  his 
father  and  his  mother  knew  not  that  it  was  of  tlie 
Lord;  for  he  sought  an  occasion  against  the  Phi- 
lis'tines.  Now  at  that  time  the  Phi-lis'tines  had 
rule  over  Is'ra-el. 

6  Then  went  Sam'son  down,  and  his  father  and  his 
mother,  to  Tim'nah,  and  came  to  the  vineyards  of 
Tim'nah :  and,  behold,  i.  young  lion  roared  against 

6  him.  And  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  came  mightily

he   told    not    his    father   or    his    mother    what   he 

7  had  done.     And  he   went  down,  and  talked  with

in 


;    and,  behold,  there 
the   carcass  of  the 


aside  to  see 
was  a  swarm 
lion. 

9  And  he  took  thereof  in  his  hands,  and  went  on  eating, 
and  came  to  his  father  and  mother,  and  he  gave  them,  and 
thoy  did  eat:  but  he  told  not  them  that  he  had  taken  the 
honey  out  of  the  carcass  of  the  lion. 

10  ^So  his  father  went  down  unto  the  woman  :  and 
Sam'son  made  there  a  feast;  for  so  used  the  young  men 
to  do. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  saw  him,  that  they 
brought  thirty  companions  to  be  with  him. 

12  T[And  Sam'son  said  unto  them,  I  will  now  'put  forth  a 
riddle  unto  you :  if  ye  can  certainly  declare  it  me  *within 
the  seven  days  of  the  feast,  and  find  it  out,  then  I  will  give 
you  thirty  |1  sheets  and  thirty  'change  of  garments: 

13  But  if  ye  cannot  declare  it  me,  then  shall  ye  give 
le   thirty   sheets  and  thirty   change   of  garments.     And 

they   said  unto  him.  Put  forth   thy  riddle,  that  we  may 
hear  it. 

14  And  he  said  unto  them.  Out  of  the  eater  came  forth 
meat,  and  out  of  the  strong  came  forth  sweetness.  And 
they  could  not  in  three  days  expound  the  riddle. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day,  that  they  said 
unto  Sam'son's  wife,  ""Entice  thy  husband,  that  he  may  de- 
clare unto  us  the  riddle,  "lest  we  burn  thee  and  thy  father's 
house  with  fire:  have  ye  called  us  fto  take  that  we  have? 
is  it  not  so  ? 

16  And  Sam'son's  wife  wept  before  him  and  said,  "Thou 
dost  but  hate  me,  and  lovest  me  not :  thou  hast  put  forth  a 

ddle  unto  the  children  of  my  people,  and  hast  not  told  it 
me.  And  he  said  unto  her.  Behold,  I  have  not  told  it  my 
father  nor  my  mother,  and  shall  I  tell  it  thee  ? 

17  And  she  wept  before  him  ||the  seven  days,  while  their 
feast  lasted :  and  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day,  that 
he  told  her,  because  she  lay  sore  upon  him :  and  she  told 
the  riddle  to  the  children  of  her  people. 

18  And  the  men  of  the  city  said  unto  him  on  the  seventh 
day  before  the  sun  went  down,  What  is  sweeter  than  honey  ? 
and  what  is  stronger  than  a  lion  ?  And  he  said  unto  them. 
If  ye  had  not  ploughed  with  my  heifer,  ye  had  not  found 
out  my  riddle. 

19  ^And  "the  Spii'it  of  the  LoBD  came  upon  bim,  and  he 
went  down  to  Ash'ke-lon,  and  slew  thirty  men  of  them,  and 
took  their  ||  spoil,  and  gave  change  of  garments  unto  them 
which  expounded  the  riddle.  And  his  anger  was  kindled, 
and  he  went  up  to  his  father's  house. 

20  But  Sam'son's  wife  "was  given  to  his  companion,  whom 
he  had  used  as  'his  friend. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

Samson  burneth  the  Philisiincs*  corn  7uith  foxes  and  firebrands. 

BUT  it  came  to  pass  within  a  while  after,  in  the  time  of 
wheat  harvest,  that  Sam'son  visited  his  wife  with  a  kid ; 
and  he  said,  I  will  go  in  to  my  wife  into  the  chamber.  But 
her  father  would  not  suffer  him  to  go  in. 

2  And  her  father  said,  I  verily  thought  that  thou  hadst 
utterly  "hated  her ;  therefore  I  gave  her  to  thy  companion : 
is  not  her  younger  sister  fairer  than  she  ?  ftake  her,  I  pray 
thee,  instead  of  her. 

3  ^And  Sam'son  said  concerning  them,  ||Now  shall  I  be 
more  blameless  than  the  Phi-lis'tines,  though  I  do  them  a 
displeasure. 

4  And  Sam'son  went  and  caught  three  hundred  foxes,  and 
took  II  firebrands,  and  turned  tail  to  tail,  and  put  a  fire- 
brand in  the  midst  between  two  tails. 

5  And  when  he  had  set  the  brands  on  fire,  he  let  ihem  go 
into  the  standing  corn  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  burnt  up  both 
the  shocks,  and  also  the  standing  corn,  with  the  vineyards 
and  olives. 


aside  to  see  the  carcase  of  the  lion :  and,  behold, 
there  was  a  swarm  of  bees  in  the  body  of  the  lion, 
9  and  honey.  And  he  took  it  into  his  hands,  and  went 
on,  eating  as  he  went,  and  he  came  to  his  father  and 
mother,  and  gave  unto  them,  and  they  did  eat :  but 
he  told  them  not  that  he  had  taken  the  honey  out  of 

10  the  body  of  the  lion.  And  his  father  went  down 
unto  the  woman :  and  Sam'son  made  there  a  feast ; 

11  for  so  used  the  young  men  to  do.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  they  saw  him,  that  they  brought  thirty 

12  companions  to  be  with  him.  And  Sam'son  said 
unto  them.  Let  me  now  put  forth  a  riddle  unto  you : 
if  ye  can  declare  it  me  within  the  seven  days  of  the 
feast,  and  find  it  out,  then  I  will  give  you  thirty 

13  linen  garments  and  thirty  changes  of  raiment :  but 
if  ye  cannot  declare  it  me,  then  shall  ye  give  me 
thirty  linen  garments  and  thirty  changes  of  raiment. 
And  they  said  unto  him.  Put  forth  thy  riddle,  that 

14  we  may  hear  it.     And  he  said  unto  them, 

Out  of  the  eater  came  forth  meat. 
And  out  of  the  strong  came  forth  sweetness. 
And  they  could  not  in  three  days  declare  the  riddle. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  'seventh  day,  that  they 
said  unto  Sam'son's  wife.  Entice  thy  husband,  that 
he  may  declare  unto  us  the  riddle,  lest  we  burn  thee 
and  thy  father's  house  with  fire :  have  ye  called  us 

16 to  ^impoverish  us?  is  it  not  so?  And  Sam'son's 
wife  wept  before  him,  and  said.  Thou  dost  but  hate 
me,  and  lovest  me  not :  thou  hast  put  forth  a  riddle 
unto  the  children  of  my  people,  and  hast  not  told  it 
And  he  said  unto  her,  Behold,  I  have  not  told 


me.

17  And  she  wept  before  him  the  seven  days,  while  their 
feast  lasted :  and  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day, 
that  he  told  her,  because  she  pressed  him  sore :  and 
she  told  the  riddle  to  the  children   of  her  people. 

18  And  the  men  of  the  city  said  unto  him  on  the  seventh 
day  before  the  sun  went  down.  What  is  sweeter  than 
honey  ?  and  what  is  stronger  than  a  lion  ?  And  he 
said  unto  them. 

If  ye  had  not  plowed  with  my  heifer. 
Ye  had  not  found  out  my  riddle. 

19  And  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  came  mightily  upon  him, 
and  he  went  down  to  Ash'ke-lon,  and  smote  thirty 
men  of  them,  and  took  their  ^spoil,  and  gave  the 
changes  of  raiment  unto  them  that  declared  the 
riddle.    And  his  anger  was  kindled,  and  he  went  up 

20  to  his  father's  house.  But  Sam'son's  wife  was  given 
to  his  companion,  whom  he  had  used  as  his  friend. 

4-0  But  it  came  to  pass  after  a  while,  in  the  time  of 
wheat  harvest,  that  Sam'son  visited  his  wife  with  a 
kid ;  and  he  said,  I  will  go  in  to  my  wife  into  the 
chamber.     But  her  father  would  not  suffer   him  to 

2  go  in.  And  her  father  said,  I  verily  thought  that

to  thy  companion  :  is  not  her  younger  sister  fairer 
than  she?   take  her,  I   pray  thee,  instead  of  her. 

3  And  Sam'son  said  unto  them,  This  time  *shall  I 
be  blameless  in  regard  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  when  I 

4  do  them  a  mischief.  And  Sam'son  went  and  caught 
three  hundred  'foxes,  and  took  'firebrands,  and 
turned  tail  to  tail,  and  put  a  firebrand  in  the  midst 

5  between  every  two  tails.  And  when  he  had  set  the 
brands  on  fire,  he  let  them  go  into  the  standing  corn 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  burnt  up  both  the  shocks 
and   the    standing   corn,  and   also   the   oliveyards.

6  l^Then  the  Phi-lis'tines  said,  Who  hath  done  this  ?  And 
they  answered,  Sam'son,  the  son  in  law  of  the  Tim'nite,  be- 
cause he  had  taken  his  wife,  and  given  her  to  his  com- 
panion. 'And  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up,  and  burnt  her  and 
her  father  with  fire. 

7  ^And  Sam'son  said  unto  them.  Though  ye  have  done 
this,  yet  will  I  be  avenged  of  you,  and  after  that  I  will  cease. 

8  And  he  smote  them  hip  and  thigh  with  a  great 
slaughter:  and  he  went  down  and  dwelt  in  the  top  of  the 
rock  E'tam. 

9  ^Then  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  up,  and  pitched  in  Ju'dah, 
and  spread  themselves  °in  Le'hi. 

10  And  the  men  of  Ju'dah  said,  "Why  are  ye  come  up 
against  us?  And  they  answered.  To  bind  Sam'son  are  we 
come  up,  to  do  to  him  as  he  hath  done  to  us. 

11  Then  three  thousand  men  of  Ju'dah  fwent  to  the  top 
of  the  rock  E'tam,  and  said  to  Sam'son,  Knowest  thou  not 
that  the  Phi-lis'tines  are  ''rulers  over  us?  what  is  this  that 
thou  hast  done  unto  us  ?  And  he  said  unto  them,  As  they 
did  unto  me,  so  have  I  done  unto  them. 

12  And  they  said  unto  him.  We  are  come  down  to  bind 
thee,  that  we  may  deliver  thee  into  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines. And  Sam'son  said  unto  them,  Swear  unto  me,  that  ye 
will  not  fall  upon  me  yourselves. 

13  And  they  spake  unto  him,  saying.  No;  but  we  will  bind 
thee  fast,  and  deliver  thee  into  their  hand :  but  surely  we  Mdll 
not  kill  thee.  And  they  bound  him  with  two  new  cords, 
and  brought  him  up  from  the  rock. 

14  ^^nd  when  he  came  unto  Le'hi,the  Phi-lis'tines  shouted 
against  him :  and  'the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  came  mightily 
upon  him,  and  the  cords  that  were  upon  his  arms  became  as 
flax  that  was  burnt  with  fire,  and  his  bands  floosed  from 
ofi"  his  hands. 

15  And  he  found  a  fne-w  jawbone  of  an  ass,  and  put 
forth  his  hand,  and  took  it,  and  •'slew  a  thousand  men 
therewith. 

16  And  Sam'son  said.  With  the  jawbone  of  an  ass, 
fheaps  upon  heaps,  with  the  jaw  of  an  ass  have  I  slain  a 
thousand  men. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass  when  he  had  made  an  end  of  speak- 
ing, that  he  cast  away  the  jawbone  out  of  his  hand,  and 
called  that  place  ||  Ra-math-le'hi. 

18  ^And  he  was  sore  athirst,  and  called  on  the  Lord,  and 
said,  "Thou  hast  given  this  great  deliverance  into  the  hand 
of  thy  servant :  and  now  shall  I  die  for  thirst,  and  fall  into 
the  hand  of  the  uncircumcised  ? 

19  But  God  clave  a  hollow  place  that  was  in  ||the  jaw, 
and  there  came  water  thereout;  and  when  he  had  drunk, 
''his  spirit  came  again,  and  he  revived.  Wherefore  he 
called  the  name  thereof  j|  En-hak'ko-re,  which  is  in  Le'hi 
unto  this  day. 

20  II  And  he  judged  Is'ra-el  *in  the  days  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
twenty  years. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

Samson  escapeth,  and  can-ieth  away  the  gates  of  Gaza. 

THEN  went  Sam'son  to  Ga'za,  and  saw  there  fa  harlot, 
and  went  in  unto  her. 

2  And  it  was  told  the  Ga'zites,  saying,  Sam'son  is  come 
hither.  And  they  "compassed  him  in,  and  laid  wait  for 
him  all  night  in  the  gate  of  the  city,  and  were  fquict  all 
the  night,  saying.  In  the  morning  when  it  is  day  we  shall 
kill  him. 

3  And  Sam'son  lay  till  midnight,  and  arose  at  midnight, 
and  took  the  doors  of  the  gate  of  the  city,  and  the  two  posts, 
and  went  away  with  them,  fbar  and  all,  and  put  them  upon 
his  shoulders,  and  carried  them  up  to  the  top  of  a  hill  that 
is  before  He'bron. 

4  ^And  it  came  to  pass  afterward,  that  he  loved  a  woman 
in  the  valley  of  So'rek,  whose  name  was  Del'i-lah. 


6 Then  the  Phi-lis'tines  said,  Who   hath  done  this? 
And  they  said,  Sam'son,  the  son  in  law  of  the  Tim 
nite,  because  he  hath  taken  his  wife,  and  given  her 
to  his  companion.     And  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up, 

7  and  burnt  her  and  her  father  with  fire.     And  Sam 
son  said    unto  them,  If  ye  do   after   this  manner, 
surely  I  will  be  avenged  of  you,  and  after  that  I 

8  will  cease.  And  he  smote  them  hip  and  thigh  with 
a  great  slaughter :  and  he  went  down  and  dwelt  in 
the  cleft  of  the  rock  of  E'tam. 

9  Then  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  up,  and  pitched  in  Ju'- 

10  dab,  and  spread  themselves  in  Le'hi.  And  the  men 
of  Ju'dah  said.  Why  are  ye  come  up  against  us? 
And   they  said.  To  bind  Sam'son  are  we  come  up, 

11  to  do  to  him  as  he  hath  done  to  us.  Then  three 
thousand  men  of  Ju'dah  went  down  to  the  cleft  of 
the  rock  of  E'tam,  and  said  to  Sam'son,  Knowest 
thou  not  that  the  Phi-lis'tines  are  rulers  over  us? 
what  then  is  this  that  thou  hast  done  unto  us? 
And  he  said   unto   them.  As  they  did  unto  me,  so 

12  have  I  done  unto  them.  And  they  said  unto  him. 
We  are  come  down  to  bind  thee,  that  we  may  de- 
liver thee  into  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And 
Sam'son  said   unto   them.  Swear  unto  me,  that  ye 

13  will  not  fall  upon  me  yourselves.  And  they  spake 
unto  him,  saying,  No ;  but  we  will  bind  thee  fast, 
and  deliver  thee  into  their  hand :  but  surely  we  will 
not  kill  thee.     And  they  bound  him  with  two  new 

14  ropes,  and  brought  him  up  from  the  rock.  When 
he  came  unto  Le'hi,  the  Phi-lis'tines  shouted  as  they 
met  him :  and  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  came  mightily 
upon  him,  and  the  ropes  that  were  upon  his  arms 
became  as   flax   that  was  burnt  with  fire,  and  his 

15  bands  'dropped  from  off  his  hands.  And  he  found 
a  new  jawbone  of  an  ass,  and  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  took  it,  and  smote  a  thousand  men  therewith. 

16  And  Sam'son  said, 

With  the  jawbone  of  an  ass,  ^heaps  upon  heaps. 
With  the  jawbone  of  an  ass  have  I  'smitten  a  thou- 
sand men. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking,  that  he  cast  away  the  jawbone  out  of  his 
hand;    and   ^that   place  was   called  ^Ra-math-le'hi. 

18  And  he  was  sore  athirst,  and  called  on  the  Lord, 
and  said.  Thou  hast  given  this  great  deliverance  by 
the  hand  of  thy  servant:  and  now  shall  I  die  for 
thirst,  and  fall  into  the  hand  of  the  uncircumcised. 

19  But  God  clave  the  hollow  place  that  is  in  "^Le'hi,  and 
there  came  water  thereout ;  and  when  he  had  drunk, 
his  spirit  came  again,  and  he  revived :  wherefore 
'the  name  thereof  was  called  ^En-hak'ko-re,  which  is 

20 in  Le'hi,  unto  this  day.  And  he  judged  Is'ra-el  in 
the  days  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  twenty  years. 

4^0     And  Sam'son  went  to  Ga'za,  and  saw  there  an 

2  harlot,  and  went  in  unto  her.  And.  it  was  told  the 
Ga'zites,  saying,  Sam'son  is  come  hither.  And  they 
compassed  him  in,  and  laid  wait  for  him  all  night  in 
the  gate  of  the  city,  and  were  quiet  all  the  night, 
saying,  ^Let  be  till  morning  light,  then  we  will  kill 

3  him.  And  Sam'son  lay  till  midnight,  and  arose  at 
midnight,  and  laid  hold  of  the  doors  of  the  gate  of 
the  city,  and  the  two  posts,  and  plucked  them  up, 
bar  and  all,  and  put  them  upon  his  shoulders,  and 
carried  them  up  to  the  top  of  the  mountain  that  is 
before  He'bron. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  afterward,  that  he  loved  a  wo-

5  And  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up  unto  her,  and 
said  unto  her,  ""Entice  him,  and  see  wherein  his  great  strength 
lieth,  and  by  what  means  we  may  prevail  against  him,  that 
we  may  bind  him  to  ||  affiict  him :  and  we  will  give  thee  every 
one  of  us  eleven  hundred  pieces  of  silver. 

6  ^And  Del'i-lah  said  to  Samson,  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
wherein  thy  great  strength  lieth,  and  wherewith  thou  mightest 
be  bound  to  afflict  thee. 

7  And  Sam'son  said  unto  her.  If  they  bind  me  with  seven 
II  tgreen  withs  that  were  never  dried,  then  shall  I  be  weak, 
and  be  as  fanother  man. 

8  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  brought  up  to  her  seven 
green  withs  which  had  not  been  dried,  and  she  bound  him 
with  them. 

9  Now  there  were  men  lying  in  wait,  abiding  with  her  in 
the  chamber.  And  she  said  unto  him.  The  Phi-lis'tines  be 
upon  thee,  Sam'son.  And  he  brake  the  withs  as  a  thread  of 
tow  is  broken  when  it  ftoucheth  the  fire.  So  his  strength 
was  not  known. 

10  And  Del'i-lah  said  unto  Sam'son,  Behold,  thou  hast 
mocked  me,  and  told  me  lies:  now  tell  me,  I  pray  thee, 
wherewith  thou  mightest  be  bound. 

11  And  he  said  unto  her.  If  they  bind  me  fast  with  new 
ropes  fthat  never  were  occupied,  then  shall  I  be  weak,  and 
be  as  another  man. 

12  Del'i-lah  therefore  took  new  ropes,  and  bound  him  there- 
with, and  said  unto  him.  The  Phi-lis'tines  be  upon  thee, 
Sam'son.  And  there  were  Hers  in  wait  abiding  in  the  cham- 
ber.    And  he  brake  them  from  oif  his  arms  like  a  thread. 

13  And  Del'i-lah  said  unto  Sam'son,  Hitherto  thou  hast 
mocked  me,  and  told  me  lies :  tell  rae  wherewith  thou  mightest 
be  bound.  And  he  said  unto  her,  If  thou  weavest  the  seven 
locks  of  my  head  with  the  web. 

14  And  she  fastened  it  with  the  pin,  and  said  unto  him, 
The  Phi-lis'tines  be  upon  thee,  Sam'son.  And  he  awaked 
out  of  his  sleep,  and  went  away  with  the  pin  of  the  beam, 
and  with  the  web. 

15  ^And  she  said  unto  him,  "How  canst  thou  say,  I  love 
thee,  when  thine  heart  is  not  with  me  ?  Thou  hast  mocked 
me  these  three  times,  and  hast  not  told  me  wherein  thy  great 
strength  lieth. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  pressed  him  daily  with 
her  words,  and  urged  him,  so  that  his  soul  was  fvexed 
unto  death; 

17  That  he  ''told  her  all  his  heart,  and  said  unto  her,  'There 
hath  not  come  a  razor  upon  mine  head  ;  for  I  have  been  a 
Naz'a-rite  unto  God  from  my  mother's  womb :  if  I  be  shaven, 
then  my  strength  will  go  from  me,  and  I  shall  become  weak, 
and  be  like  any  other  man. 

18  And  when  Del'i-lah  saw  that  he  had  told  her  all  his 
heart,  she  sent  and  called  for  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
saying.  Come  up  this  once,  for  he  hath  shewed  me  all  his 
heart.  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up  unto  her, 
and  brought  money  in  their  hand. 

19  -'And  she  made  him  sleep  upon  her  knees;  and  she 
called  for  a  man,  and  she  caused  him  to  shave  off'  the  seven 
locks  of  his  head  ;  and  she  began  to  afflict  him,  and  his 
strength  ^yent  from  him. 

20  Aud  she  said,  The  Phi-lis'tines  be  upon  thee,  Sam'son. 
And  he  awoke  out  of  his  sleep,  and  said,  I  will  go  out  as  at 
other  times  before,  and  shake  myself  And  he  wist  not  that 
the  Lord  "was  departed  from  him. 

21  ^But  the  Phi-lis'tines  took  him,  and  tput  out  his  eyes, 
and  brought  him  down  to  Ga'za,  and  bound  him  with  fetters 
of  brass ;  and  he  did  grind  in  the  prison  house. 

22  Howbeit  the  hair  of  his  head  began  to  grow  again 
II after  he  was  shaven. 

23  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  gathered  them  to- 
gether for   to    offer   a   great'  sacrifice    unto    Da'gon   their 


5  And  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up  unto  her, 
and  said  unto  her.  Entice  him,  and  see  wherein  his 
great  strength  lieth,  and  by  what  means  we  may 
prevail  against  him,  that  we  may  bind  him  to  'afflict 
him  :  and  we  will  give  thee  every  one  of  us  eleven 

6  hundred  pieces  of  silver.  And  Del'i-lah  said  to 
Sam'son,  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  wherein  thy  great 
strength    lieth,    and   wherewith    thou    mightest    be 

7  bound  to  afflict  thee.  And  Sam'son  said  unto  her. 
If  they  bind  me  with  seven  tgreen  withes  that  were 
never  dried,  then   shall  I  become  weak,  and  be  as 

8  another  man.  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
brought  up  to  her  seven  tgreen  withes  which  had 

9  not  been  dried,  and  she  bound  him  with  them.  Kow 
she  had  liers  in  wait  abiding  in  the  inner  chamber. 
And  she  said  unto  him.  The  Phi-lis'tines  be  upon 
thee,  Sam'son.  And  he  brake  the  withes,  as  a  string 
of  tow  is  broken  when  it  ^toucheth  the  fire.     So  his 

10  strength  was  not  known.  And  Del'i-lah  said  unto 
Sam'son,  Behold,  thou  hast  mocked  me,  and  told 
me  lies :  now  tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  wherewith  thou 

11  mightest  be  bound.  And  he  said  unto  her.  If  they 
only  bind  me  with  new  ropes  wherewith  no  work 
hath  been  done,  then  shall  I  become  weak,  and  be 

12  as  another  man.  So  Del'i-lah  took  new  ropes,  and 
bound  him  therewith,  and  said  unto  him,  The  Phi'- 
lis'tines  be  upon  thee,  Sam'son.  And  the  liers  in  wait 
were  abiding  in  the  inner  chamber.     And  he  brake 

13  them  from  off  his  arms  like  a  thread.  And  Del'i-lah 
said  unto  Sam'son,  Hitherto  thou  hast  mocked  me, 
aud  told  me  lies:  tell  me  wherewith  thou  mightest 
be  bound.     And  he  said  unto  her.  If  thou  weavest 

14  the  seven  locks  of  my  head  with  the  web.  And  she 
fastened  it  with  the  pin,  and  said  unto  him.  The 
Phi-lis'tines  be  upon  thee,  Sam'son.  And  he  awaked 
out  of  his  sleep,  and  plucked  away  the  pin  of  the 

15  beam,  and  the  web.  And  she  said  unto  him.  How 
canst  thou  say,  I  love  thee,  when  thine  heart  is  not 
with  me?  thou  hast  mocked  me  these  three  times, 
and  hast  not  told  me  wherein    thy    great  strength 

16  lieth.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she  pressed  him 
daily  with  her  words,  and  urged  him,  that  his  soul 

17  was  vexed  unto  death.  And  he  told  her  all  his 
heart,  and  said  unto  her.  There  hath  not  come  a 
razor  upon  mine  head  ;  for  I  have  been  a  Naz'i-rite 
unto  God  from  my  mother's  womb :  if  I  be  shaven, 
then  my  strength  will  go  from   me,  and  I  shall  be- 

18  come  weak,  and  be  like  any  other  man.  And  when 
Del'i-lah  saw  that  he  had  told  her  all  his  heart,  she 
sent  and  called  for  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  say- 

•  ing.  Come  up  this  once,  for  ^he  hath  told  me  all  his 
heart.  Then  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up 
unto  her,  and  brought  the  money   in   their   hand. 

19  And  she  made  him  sleep  upon  her  knees ;  and  she 
called  for  'a  man,  and  shaved  off  the  seven  locks  of 
his  head;   and    she   began    to   afflict   him,   and  his 

20 strength  went  from  him.  And  she  said.  The  Phi- 
lis'tines  be  upon  thee,  Sam'son.  And  he  awoke  out 
of  his  sleep,  and  said,  I  will  go  out  as  at  other  times,

god  and  to  rejoioe :  for  they  said,  Our  god  hath  delivered 
Sam'son  our  enemy  into  our  hand. 

2A  And  when  the  people  saw  him,  they  Upraised  their  god : 
for  they  said.  Our  god  hath  delivered  into  our  hands  our 
enemy,  and  the  destroyer  of  our  country,  f which  slew 
many  of  us. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass  when  their  hearts  were  'merry, 
that  they  said.  Call  for  Sam'son  that  he  may  make  us 
sport.  And  they  called  for  Sam'son  out  of  the  prison 
house ;  and  he  made  fthem  sport :  and  they  set  him  between 
the  pillars. 

26  And  Sam'son  said  unto  the  lad  that  held  him  by  the 
hand.  Suffer  me  that  I  may  feel  the  pillars  whereupon  the 
house  standeth,  that  I  may  lean  upon  them. 

27  Now  the  house  was  full  of  men  and  women ;  and  all  the 
lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  there;  and  there  were  upon  the 
*roof  about  three  thousand  men  and  women,  that  beheld 
while  Sam'son  made  sport. 

28  And  Sam'son  called  unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord 
God,  'remember  me,  I  pray  thee,  and  strengthen  me,  I  pray 
thee,  only  this  once,  O  God,  that  I  may  be  at  once  avenged 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  for  my  two  eyes. 

29  And  Sam'son  took  hold  of  the  two  middle  pillars 
upon  which  the  house  stood,  and  |1  on  which  it  was  borne 
up,  of  the  one  with  his  right  hand,  and  of  the  other  with 
his  left. 

30  And  Sam'son  said,  Let  fme  die  with  the  Phi-lis'tines. 
And  he  bowed  himself  with  all  his  might;  and  the  house 
fell  upon  the  lords,  and  upon  all  the  people  that  were  therein. 
So  the  dead  which  he  slew  at  his  death  were  more  than  they 
which  he  slew  in  his  life. 

31  Then  his  brethren  and  all  the  house  of  his  father  came 
down,  and  took  him,  and  brought  him  up,  and  ""buried  him 
between  Zo'rah  and  Esh'ta-ol,  in  the  buryingplace  of  Ma- 
no'ah  his  father.     And  he  judged  Is'ra-el  twenty  years. 

CHAPTER   XVII. 

Micah  hireth  a  Levite  to  be  his  priest. 

AND  there  was  a  man  of  mount  E'phra-im,  whose  name 
was  Mi'cah. 

2  And  he  said  unto  his  mother.  The  eleven  hundred  fshekela 
of  silver  that  were  taken  from  thee,  about  which  thou 
cursedst,  and  spakest  of  also  in  mine  ears,  behold,  the  silver 
is  with  me ;  I  took  it.  And  his  mother  said,  "Blessed  be 
thou  of  the  Lord,  my  son. 

3  And  when  he  had  restored  the  eleven  hundred  shekels 
of  silver  to  his  mother,  his  mother  said,  I  had  wholly  ded- 
icated the  silver  unto  the  Lord  from  my  hand  for  my  son, 
to  'make  a  graven  image  and  a  molten  image:  now  there- 
fore I  will  restore  it  unto  thee. 

4  Yet  he  restored  the  money  unto  his  mother;  and  his 
mother  ''took  two  hundred  shekels  of  silver,  and  gave  them 
to  the  founder,  who  made  thereof  a  graven  image  and  a 
molten  image:  and  they  were  in  the  house  of  Mi'cah. 

5  And  the  man  Mi'cah  had  a  house  of  gods,  and  made  an 
''ephod,  and  ^teraphim,  and  fconsecrated  one  of  his  sons, 
who  became  his  priest. 

6  -^In  those  days  there  was  no  king  in  Is'ra-el,  "bvi  every 
man  did  that  which  was  right  in  his  own  eyes. 

7  ^And  there  was  a  young  man  out  of  ''Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah 
of  the  family  of  Ju'dah,  who  was  a  Le'vite,  and  he  sojourned 
there. 

8  And  the  man  departed  out  of  the  city  from  Beth'-le-hem- 
ju'dah,  to  .sojourn  where  he  could  find  a  place:  and  he  came 
to  mount  E'phra-im  to  the  house  of  Mi'cah,  fas  he  journeyed. 

9  And  Mi'cah  said  unto  him.  Whence  comest  thou  ?  And 
he  said  unto  him,  I  am  a  Le'vite  of  Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah, 
and  I  go  to  sojourn  where  I  may  find  a  place. 

10  And  Mi'cah  said  unto  him,  Dwell  with  me,  'and  be  unto 
me  a  *father  and  a  priest,  and  I  will  give  thee  ten  shekels  of 


god,  and  to  rejoice:   for  they  said.  Our  god  hath 

24  delivered  Sam'son  our  enemy  into  our  hand.  And 
when  the  people  saw  him  they  praised  their  god: 
for  they  said.  Our  god  hath  delivered  into  our  hand 
our  enemy,  and  the  destroyer  of  our  country,  which 

25  hath  slain  many  of  us.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
their  hearts  were  merry,  that  they  said,  Call  for 
Sam'son,  that  he  may  make  us  sport;  and  they 
called  for  Sam'son  out  of  the  prison  house ;  and  he 
made  sport  before  them :  and  they  set  him  between 

26  the  pillars.  And  Sam'son  said  unto  the  lad  that  held 
him  by  the  hand.  Suffer  me  that  I  may  feel  the 
pillars  whereupon  the  house  resteth,  that  I  may  lean 

27  upon  them.  Now  the  house  was  full  of  men  and 
women ;  and  all  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  were 
there;  and  there  were  upon  the  roof  about  three 
thousand  men  and  women,  that  beheld  while  Sam'- 

28  son  made  sport.  And  Sam'son  called  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said,  0  Lord  God,  remember  me,  I  pray  thee, 
and  strengthen  me,  I  pray  thee,  only  this  once,  O 
God,  that  I  may  'be  at  once  avenged  of  the  Phi'lis'- 

29  tines  for  my  two  eyes.  And  Sam'son  took  hold  of 
the  two  middle  pillars  upon  which  the  house  rested, 
and  leaned  upon  them,  the  one  with  his  right  hand, 

30  and  the  other  with  his  left.  And  Sam'son  said,  Let 
me  die  with  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  he  bowed  himself 
with  all  his  might;  and  the  house  fell  upon  the 
lords,  and  upon  all  the  people  that  were  therein. 
So  the  dead  which  he  slew  at  his  death  were  more 

31  than  they  which  he  slew  in  his  life.  Then  his 
brethren  and  all  the  house  of  his  father  came  down, 
and  took  him,  and  brought  him  up,  and  buried  him 
between  Zo'rah  and  Esh'ta-ol  in  the  buryingplace 
of  Ma-no'ah  his  father.  And  he  judged  Is'ra-el 
twenty  years. 

i^*      And  there  was  a  man  of  the  hill  country  of 

2  E'phra-im,  whose  name  was  Mi'cah.  And  he  said 
unto  his  mother.  The  eleven  hundred  pieces  of  silver 
that  were  taken  from  thee,  about  which  thou  didst 
utter  ^a  curse,  and  didst  also  speak  it  in  mine  ears, 
behold,  the  silver  is  with  me ;  I  took  it.     And  his 

3  mother  said.  Blessed  be  my  son  of  the  Lord.  And 
he  restored  the  eleven  hundred  pieces  of  silver  to  his 
mother,  and  his  mother  said,  I  verily  'dedicate  the 
silver  unto  the  Lord  from  my  baud  for  my  son,  to 
make  a  graven  image  and  a  molten   image :   now 

4  therefore  I  will  restore  it  unto  thee.  And  when  he 
restored  the  money  unto  his  mother,  his  mother  took 
two  hundred  pieces  of  silver,  and  gave  them  to  the 
founder,  who  made  thereof  a  graven  image  and  a 
molten  image :  and  it  was  in  the  house  of  Mi'cah. 

5  And  the  man  Mi'cah  had  an  house  of  ^gods,  and  he 
made  an  ephod,  and  teraphim,  and  'consecrated  one 

6  of  his  son.s,  who  became  his  priest.  In  those  days 
there  was  no  king  in  Is'ra-el:  every  man  did  that 
which  was  right  in  his  own  eyes. 

7  And  there  was  a  young  man  out  of  Beth'-le-hem- 
ju'dah,  of  the  family  of  Ju'dah,  who  was  a  Le'vite, 

Sand  he  sojourned  there.  And  the  man  departed 
out  of  the  city,  out  of  Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah,  to  sojourn 
where  he  could  find  a  place:  and  he  came  to  the 
hill  country   of  E'phra-im   to  the   house  of  Mi'- 

9cah,  as  he  journeyed.  And  Mi'cah  said  unto  him. 
Whence  comest  thou?  And  he  said  unto  him, 
I  am  a  Le'vite  of  Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah  and  I  go  to 
10  sojourn  where  I  may  find  a  place.  And  Mi'cah 
said  unto  him.  Dwell  with  me,  and  be  unto  me  a 
father  and  a  priest,  and  I  will  give  thee  ten  pieces  of

So  the  Le'vite  went  in. 

11  And  the  Le'vite  was  content  to  dwell  with  the  man; 
and  the  young  man  was  unto  him  as  one  of  his  sons. 

12  And  Mi'cah  'consecrated  the  Le'vite;  and  the  young 
man  '"became  his  priest,  and  was  in  the  house  of  Mi'cah. 

13  Then  said  Mi'cah,  Now  know  I  that  the  LoED  will  do

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Tha  Danites  send  Jive  men  to  seek  out  an  inheritance. 

IN  "those  days  there  was  no  king  in  Is'ra-el :  and  in  those 
days  'the  tribe  of  the  Dan'ites  sought  them  an  inheritance 
to  dwell  in  ;  for  unto  that  day  all  their  inheritance  had  not 
fallen  unto  them  among  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  the  children  of  Dan  sent  of  their  family  five  men 
from  their  coasts,  fmen  of  valour,  from  ""Zo'rah,  and  from 
Esh'ta-ol,  ''to  spy  out  the  land,  and  to" search  it;  and  they 
said  unto  them,  Go,  search  the  land :  who  when  they  came 
to  mount  E'phra-im,  to  the  'house  of  Mi'cah,  they  lodged 
there. 

3  When  they  were  by  the  house  of  Mi'cah,  they  knew  the 
voice  of  the  young  man  the  Le'vite :  and  they  turned  in 
thither  and  said  unto  him,  Who  brought  thee  hither?  and 
what  makest  thou  in  this  'place  f  and  what  hast  thou  here? 

4  And  he  said  unto  them.  Thus  and  thus  dealeth  Mi'cah 
with  me,  and  hath  •''hired  me,  and  I  am  his  priest. 

5  And  they  said  unto  him,  "Ask  counsel,  we  pray  thee, 
*of  God,  that  we  may  know  whether  our  way  which  we  go 
shall  be  prosperous. 

6  And  the  priest  said  unto  them,  'Go  in  peace :  before  the 
Lord  is  your  way  wherein  ye  go. 

7  %^Then  the  five  men  departed,  and  came  to  *La'ish,  and 
saw  the  people  that  were  therein,  'how  they  dwelt  careless, 
after  the  manner  of  the  Zi-do'ni-ans,  quiet  and  secure ;  and 
there  was  no  fmagistrate  in  the  land,  that  might  put  them 
to  shame  in  an^/ thing ;  and  they  toere  far  from  the  Zi-do'ni-ans, 
and  had  no  business  with  any  man. 

8  And  they  came  unto  their  brethren  to  "Zo'rah  and  Esh'- 
ta-ol :  and  their  brethren  said  unto  them.  What  say  ye  ? 

9  And  they  said,  "Arise,  that  we  may  go  up  against  them : 
for  we  have  seen  the  land,  and,  behold,  it  is  very  good  :  and 
are  ye  "still  ?  be  not  slothful  to  go,  and  to  enter  to  possess 
the  land. 

10  When  ye  go,  ye  shall  come  unto  a  people  "secure, 
and  to  a  large  land :  for  God  hath  given  it  into  your 
hands ;  'a  place  where  there  is  no  want  of  any  thing  that 
is  in  the  earth. 

11  i[And  there  went  from  thence  of  the  family  of  the 
Dan'ites,  out  of  Zo'rah  and  out  of  Esh'ta-ol,  six  hundred 
men  fappointed  with  weapons  of  war. 

12  And  they  went  up,  and  pitched  in  'Kir'jath-je'a-rim,  in 
Ju'dah  :  wherefore  they  called  that  place  'Ma'ha-neh-dan  unto 
this  day :  behold,  it  is  behind  Kir'jath-je'a-rim, 

13  And  they  passed  thence  unto  mount  E'phra-im,  and 
came  unto  'the  house  of  Mi'cah. 

14  *li  "Then  answered  the  five  men  that  went  to  spy  out  the 
country  of  La'ish,  and  said  unto  their  brethren,  Do  ye  know 
that  'there  is  iu  these  houses  an  ephod,  and  teraphim,  and 
a  graven  image,  and  a  molten  image?  now  therefore  con- 
sider what  ye  have  to  do. 

15  And  they  turned  thitherward,  and  came  to  the  house 
of  th  J  young  man  the  Le'vite,  even  unto  the  house  of  Mi'cah, 
ana  fsaluted  him. 

16  And  the  "six  hundred  men  appointed  with  their  weapons 
of  war,  which  were  of  the  children  of  Dan,  stood  by  the 
entering  of  the  gate. 

17  And  "the  five  men  that  went  to  spy  out  the  land  went 
up,  and  came  in  thither,  and  took  "the  graven  image,  and  the 
ephod,  and  the  teraphim,  and  the  molten   image:  and  the 


silver  by  the  year,  and  a  suit  of  apparel,  and  thy 

1 1  victuals.  So  the  Le'vite  went  in.  And  the  Le'vite 
was  content  to  dwell  with  the  man ;  and  the  young 

12  man  was  unto  him  as  one  of  his  sons.  And  Mi'cah 
consecrated  the  Le'vite,  and  the  young  man  became 

13  his  priest,  and  was  in  the  house  of  Mi'cah.  Then 
said  Mi'cah,  Now  know  I  that  the  Lord  will  do  me 
good,  seeing  I  have  a  Le'vite  to  my  priest. 

lO  In  those  days  there  was  no  king  in  Is'ra-el :  and 
in  those  days  the  tribe  of  the  Dan'ites  sought  them 
an  inheritance  to  dwell  in ;  for  unto  that  day  their 
inheritance  had   not   fallen  unto   them   among  the 

2  tribes  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  children  of  Dan  sent  of 
their  family  five  men  from  their  whole  number,  men 
of  valour,  from  Zo'rah,  and  from  Esh'ta-ol,  to  spy  out 
the  land,  and  to  search  it;  and  they  said  unto  them. 
Go,  search  the  land :  and  they  came  to  the  hill 
country  of  E'phra-im,  unto  the  house  of  Mi'cah,  and 

3  lodged  there.  When  they  were  by  the  house  of 
Mi'cah,  they  knew  the  voice  of  the  young  man  the 
Le'vite  :  and  they  turned  aside  thither,  and  said  unto 
him.  Who   brought  thee    hither?   and  what   doest 

4  thou  in  this  place  ?  and  what  hast  thou  here  ?  And 
he  said  unto  them.  Thus  and  thus  hath  Mi'cah  dealt 
with  me,  and  he  hath  hired    me,  and  I  am  become 

5  his  priest.  And  they  said  unto  him.  Ask  counsel, 
we  pray  thee,  of  God,  that  Ave  may  know  whether 

6  our  way  which  we  go  shall  be  prosperous.  And  the 
priest  said  unto  them.  Go  in  peace :  before  the  Lord 
is  your  way  wherein  ye  go. 

7  Then  the  five  men  departed,  and  came  to  La'ish, 
and  saw  the  people  that  were  therein,  how  they 
dwelt  in  security,  after  the  manner  of  the  Zi-do'ni-ans, 
quiet  and  secure;  for  there  was  none  in  the  land, 
possessing  'authority,  Hhat  might  put  them  to  shame 
in  any  thing,  and  they  were  far  from  the  Zi-do'ni-ans, 

8  and  had  no  dealings  with  any  man.  And  they  came 
unto  their  brethren  to  Zo'rah  and  Esh'ta-ol :  and  their 

9 brethren  said  unto  them.  What  say  ye?  And  they 
said.  Arise,  and  let  us  go  up  against  them :  for  we 
have  seen  the  land,  and,  behold,  it  is  very  good :  and 
are  ye  still?  be  not  slothful  to  go  and  to  enter  in  to 

10  possess  the  land.  When  ye  go,  ye  shall  come  unto 
a  people  secure,  and  the  land  is  large  :  for  God  hath 
given  it  into  your  hand ;  a  place  where  there  is  no 
want  of  any  thing  that  is  in  the  earth. 

11  And  there  set  forth  from  thence  of  the  family  of 
the  Dan'ites,  out  of  Zo'rah  and  out  of  Esh'ta-ol,  six 

12  hundred  men  girt  with  weapons  of  war.  And  they 
went  up,  and  encamped  in  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim  in  Ju'dah : 
wherefore  they  called  that  place  ^Ma'ha-neh-dan,  unto 

13  this  day :  behold,  it  is  behind  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim.  And 
they  passed  thence  unto  the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im, 

Hand  came  unto  the  house  of  Mi'cah.  Then  answered 
the  five  men  that  went  to  spy  out  the  country  of 
La'ish,  and  said  unto  their  brethren.  Do  ye  know 
that  there  is  in  these  houses  an  ephod,  and  teraphim, 
and   a    graven   image,   and   a   molten    image?  now 

15  therefore  consider  what  ye  have  to  do.  And 
they  turned  aside  thither,  and  came  to  the  house 
of  the  young  man  the  Le'vite,  even  unto  the  house 

16  of  Mi'cah,  and  asked  him  of  his  welfare.  And  the 
six  hundred  men  girt  with  their  weapons  of  war, 
who  were   of  the    children  of   Dan,   stood   by   the 

17  entering  of  the  gate.  And  the  five  men  that  went 
to  spy  out  the  land  went  up,  and  came  in  thither, 
and  took  the  graven  image,  and  the  ephod,  and

priest  stood  in  the  entering  of  the  gate  with  the  six  hundred 
men  that  were  appointed  with  weapons  of  war. 

18  And  these  went  into  Mi'cah's  house,  and  fetched  the 
carved  image,  the  ephod,  and  the  teraphim,  and  the  molten 
image.     Then  said  the  priest  unto  them.  What  do  ye? 

19  And  they  said  unto  him,  Hold  thy  peace,  'lay  thine 
hand  upon  thy  mouth,  and  go  with  us,  "and  be  to  us  a  father 
and  a  priest :  is  it  better  for  thee  to  be  a  priest  unto  the 
house  of  one  man,  or  that  thou  be  a  priest  unto  a  tribe  and 
a  &mily  in  Is'ra-el? 

20  And  the  priest's  heart  was  glad,  and  he  took  the  ephod, 
and  the  teraphim,  and  the  graven  image,  and  went  in  the 
midst  of  the  people. 

21  So  they  turned  and  departed,  and  put  the  little  ones 
and  the  cattle  and  the  carriage  before  them. 

22  ^And  when  they  were  a  good  way  from  the  house  of 
Mi'cah,  the  men  that  were  in  the  houses  near  to  Mi'cah's 
house  were  gathered  together,  and  overtook  the  children 
of  Dan. 

23  And  they  cried  unto  the  children  of  Dan.  And  they 
turned  their  faces,  and  said  unto  Mi'cah,  What  aileth  thee, 
fthat  thou  comest  with  such  a  company  ? 

24  And  he  said,  Ye  have  taken  away  my  gods  which  I  made, 
and  the  priest,  and  ye  are  gone  away :  and  what  have  I  more  ? 
and  what  is  this  that  ye  say  unto  me.  What  aileth  thee? 

25  And  the  children  of  Dan  said  unto  him.  Let  not 
thy  voice  be  heard  among  us,  lest  fangry  fellows  run 
upon  thee,  and  thou  lose  thy  life,  with  the  lives  of  thy 
household. 

26  And  the  children  of  Dan  went  their  way :  and  when 
Mi'cah  saw  that  they  irere  too  strong  for  him,  he  turned 
and  went  back  unto  his  house. 

27  And  they  took  the  things  which  Mi'cah  had  made,  and 
the  priest  which  he  had,  and ''came  unto  La'ish,  unto  a  people 
that  were  at  quiet  and  secure :  "and  they  smote  them  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  burnt  the  city  with  fire. 

28  And  there  was  no  deliverer,  because  it  was  -^far  from 
Zi'don,  and  they  had  no  business  with  any  man ;  and  it  was 
in  the  valley  that  lieth  "by  Beth-re'hob.  And  they  built  a 
city,  and  dwelt  therein. 

29  And  *they  called  the  name  of  the  city  'Dan,  after  the 
name  of  Dan  their  father,  who  was  born  unto  Is'ra-el: 
howbeit  the  name  of  the  city  was  La'ish  at  the  first. 

30  ^And  the  children  of  Dan  set  up  the  graven  image: 
and  Jon'a-than,  the  son  of  Ger'shom,  the  son  of  Ma-nas'seh, 
he  and  his  sons  were  priests  to  the  tribe  of  Dan  ''until  the 
day  of  the  captivity  of  the  land. 

31  And  they  set  them  up  Mi'cah's  graven  image,  which  he 
made,  'all  the  time  that  the  house  of  God  was  in  Shi'loh. 

CHAPTER   XIX. 

A  Levite  goeth  to  Beth-lehem  to  fetch  home  his  wife. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  "when  there  was  no 
king  in  Is'ra-el,  that  there  was  a  certain  Le'vite  sojourn- 
ing on  the  side  of  mount  E'phra-im,  who  took  to  him  fa 
concubine  out  of  'Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah. 

2  And  his  concubine  played  the  whore  against  him,  and 
went  away  from  him  unto  her  father's  house  to  Beth'-le- 
hem-ju'dah,  and  was  there  Hffour  whole  months. 

3  And  her  husband  arose,  and  went  after  her,  to  speak 
ffriendly  unto  her,  and  to  bring  her  again,  having  his  serv- 
ant with  him,  and  a  couple  of  asses :  and  she  brought  him 
into  her  father's  house ;  and  when  the  father  of  the  damsel 
saw  him,  he  rejoiced  to  meet  him. 

4  And  his  father  in  law,  the  damsel's  father,  retained  him  ; 
and  he  abode  with  him  three  days :  so  they  did  eat  and 
drink,  and  lodged  there. 

5  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  fourth  day,  when  they 
arose  early  in  the  morning,  that  he  rose  up  to  depart :  and 
the  damsel's  father  said  unto  his   son   in   law,  f^Comfort 


priest  stood  by  the  entering  of  the  gate  with  the 

18  six  hundred  men  girt  with  weapons  of  war.  And 
when  these  went  into  Mi'cah's  house,  and  fetched 
the  graven  image,  the  ephod,  and  the  teraphim, 
and  the  molten  image,    the  priest  said  unto  them, 

19  What  do  ye?  And  they  said  unto  him.  Hold  thy 
peace,  lay  thine  hand  upon  thy  mouth,  and  go 
with  us,  and  be  to  us  a  father  and  a  priest :  is  it  better 
for  thee  to  be  priest  unto  the  house  of  one  man,  or 

20  to  be  priest  unto  a  tribe  and  a  family  in  Is'ra-el  ?  And 
the  priest's  heart  was  glad,  and  he  took  the  ephod, 
and  the  teraphim,  and  the  graven  image,  and  went 

21  in  the  midst  of  the  people.  So  they  turned  and  de 
parted,  and  put  the  little  ones  and  the  cattle  and  the 

22  goods  before  them.  When  they  were  a  good  way 
from  the  house  of  Mi'cah,  the  men  that  were  in  the 
houses  near  to  Mi'cah's  house  were  gathered  together, 

23  and  overtook  the  children  of  Dan.  And  they  cried 
unto  the  children  of  Dan.  And  they  turned  their 
faces,  and  said  unto  Mi'cah,  What  aileth  thee,  'that 

24 thou  comest  with  such  a  company?     And  he  said, 
Ye  have  taken  away  my  gods  which  I  made,  and  the 
priest,  and  are  gone  away,  and  what  have  I  more 
and  how  then  say  ye  unto  me,  What   aileth  thee? 

25  And  the  children  of  Dan  said  unto  him.  Let  not  thy 
voice  be  heard  among  us,  lest  ^angry  fellows  fall 
upon  you,  and  thou  lose  thy  life,  with  the  lives  of 

26  thy  household.  And  the  children  of  Dan  went  their 
way :  and  when  Mi'cah  saw  that  they  were  too  strong 
for  him,  he  turned  and  went  back  unto  his  house. 

27  And  they  took  that  which  Mi'cah  had  made,  and  the 
priest  which  he  had,  and  came  unto  La'ish,  unto  a 
people  quiet  and  secure,  and  smote  them  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword;  and  they  burnt  the  city  with  fire. 

28  And  there  was  no  deliverer,  because  it  was  far  from 
Zi'don,  and  they  had  no  dealings  with  any  man ;  and 
it  was  in  the  valley  that  lieth  by  Beth-re'hob.    And 

29  they  built  the  city,  and  dwelt  therein.  And  they 
called  the  name  of  the  city  Dan,  after  the  name  of 
Dan  their  father,  who  was  born  unto  Is'ra-el:  how- 

30  belt  the  name  of  the  city  was  La'ish  at  the  first.  And 
the  children  of  Dan  set  up  for  themselves  the  graven 
image  :  and  Jon'a-than,  the  son  of  Ger'shom,  the  son 
of  ^Mo'ses,  he  and  his  sons  were  priests  to  the  tribe 
of  the  Dan'ites  until  the  day  of  the  captivity  of  the 

31  land.  So  they  set  them  up  Mi'cah's  graven  image 
which  he  made,  all  the  time  that  the  house  of  God 
was  in  Shi'loh. 

+v  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  when  there 
was  no  king  in  Is'ra-el,  that  there  was  a  certain  Le'- 
vite sojourning  on  the  farther  side  of  the  hill  coun- 
try of  E'phra-im,  who  took  to  him  a  concubine  out  of 

2  Beth'le-hem-ju'dah.  And  his  concubine  played  the 
harlot  against  him,  and  went  away  from  him  unto 
her   father's  house  to  Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah,  and  was 

3  there  the  space  of  four  months.  And  her  husband 
arose,  and  went  after  her,  to  speak  ''kindly  unto 
her,  to  bring  ''her  again,  having  his  servant  with 
him,  and  a  couple  of  asses :  and  she  brought  him 
into  her  father's  house :  and  when  the  father  of  the 

4damsel  saw  him,  he  rejoiced  to  meet  him.  And 
his  father  in  law,  the  damsel's  father,  retained  him; 
and   he    abode  with  him   three  days :    so  they  did 

5  eat  and  drink,  and  lodged  there.  And  it  came  to 
pass  on  the  fourth  day,  that  they  arose  early  in 
the  morning,  and  he  rose  up  to  depart :  and  the 
damsel's  father  said  unto  his  son  in  law.  Comfort

way. 

6  And  they  sat  down,  and  did  eat  and  drink  both  of  them 
together:  for  the  damsel's  father  had  said  unto  the  man, 
Be  content,  I  pray  thee,  and  tarry  all  night,  and  let  thine 
heart  be  merry. 

7  And  when  the  man  rose  up  to  depart,  his  father  in  law 
urged  him:  thei'efore  he  lodged  there  again. 

8  And  he  arose  early  in  the  morning  on  the  fifth  day  to 
depart:  and  the  damsel's  father  said.  Comfort  thine  heart,  I 
pray  thee.  And  they  tarried  funtil  afternoon,  and  they 
did  eat  both  of  them. 

9  And  when  the  man  rose  up  to  depart,  he,  and  his  con- 
cubine, and  his  servant,  his  father  in  law,  the  damsel's 
father,  said  unto  him.  Behold,  now  the  day  f  draweth  toward 
evening,  I  pray  you  tarry  all  night:  behold,  fthe  day 
groweth  to  an  end,  lodge  here,  that  thine  heart  may  be 
merry;  and  to-morrow  get  you  early  on  your  way,  that 
thou  mayest  go  fhome. 

10  But  the  man  would  not  tarry  that  night,  but  he  rose  up 
and  departed,  and  came  fover  against  ''Je'bus,  which  is 
Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  there  were  with  him  two  asses  saddled,  his 
concubine  also  was  with  him. 

11  And  when  they  vjere  by  Je'bus,  the  day  was  far  spent; 
and  the  servant  said  unto  his  master.  Come,  I  pray  thee,  and 
let  us  turn  in  into  this  city  "of  the  Jeb'u-sites,  and  lodge  in  it. 

12  And  his  master  said  unto. him,  We  will  not  turn  aside 
hither  into  the  city  of  a  stranger,  that  is  not  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el ;  we  will  pass  over  •''to  Gib'e-ah. 

13  And  he  said  unto  his  servant.  Come,  and  let  us  draw 
near  to  one  of  these  places  to  lodge  all  night,  in  Gib'e-ah, 
or  in  "Ra'mah. 

14  An.d  they  passed  on  and  went  their  way;  and  the  sun 
went  down  upon  them  when  they  were  by  Gib'e-ah,  which 
belongeth  to  Ben'ja-min. 

15  And  they  turned  aside  thither,  to  go  in  and  to  lodge 
in  Gib'e-ah:  and  when  he  went  in,  he  sat  him  down  in  a 
street  of  the  city :  for  there  was  no  man  that  ''took  them 
into  his  house  to  lodging. 

16  ^And,  behold,  there  came  an  old  man  from  'his  work 
out  of  the  field  at  even,  which  was  also  of  mount  E'phra-im ; 
and  he  sojourned  in  Gib'e-ah :  but  the  men  of  the  place  were 
Ben'ja-mites. 

17  And  when  he  had  lifted  up  his  eyes,  he  saw  a  wayfaring 
man  in  the  street  of  the  city :  and  the  old  man  said.  Whither 
goest  thou?  and  whence  comest  thou? 

18  And  he  said  unto   him.  We  are  passing  from  Beth' 
le-hem-ju'dah  toward  the  side  of  mount  E'phra-im;  from 
thence  am  I:   and  I  went  to  Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah,  but  I  am 
now  going  to  *the  house  of  the  Lord  ;  and  there  is  no  man 
that  freceiveth  me  to  house. 

19  Yet  there  is  both  straw  and  provender  for  our  asses ;  and 
there  is  bread  and  wine  also  for  me,  and  for  thy  handmaid, 
and  for  the  young  man  which  is  with  thy  servants :  there  is 
no  want  of  any  thing. 

20  And  the  old  man  said,  'Peace  be  with  thee ;  howsoever, 
let  all  thy  wants  lie  upon  me ;  ""only  lodge  not  i&  the  street. 

21  "So  he  brought  him  into  his  house,  and  gave  provender 
unto  the  asses :  "and  they  washed  their  feet,  and  did  eat  and 
drink. 

22  ^Now  as  they  were  making  their  hearts  merry,  behold, 
"the  men  of  the  city,  certain  "sons  of  Be'li-al,  beset  the  house 
round  about,  and  beat  at  the  door,  and  spake  to  the  master 
of  the  house,  the  old  man,  saying,  ''Bring  forth  the  man  that 
came  into  thine  house,  that  we  may  know  him. 

23  And  'the  man,  the  master  of  the  house,  went  out  unto 
them,  and  said  unto  them,  Nay,  my  brethren,  nay,  I  pray  you, 
do  not  so  wickedly ;  seeing  that  this  man  is  come  into  mine 
house,  'do  not  this  folly. 


thine  heart  with  a  morsel  of  bread,  and  afterward  ye 
6  shall  go  your  way.     So  they  sat  down,  and  did  eat 
and  drink,  both  of  them  together :  and  the  damsel's 
father  said  unto  the  man.  Be  content,  I  pray  thee, 
and  tarry  all  night,  and  let  thine  heart  be  merry 
7 And  the  man  rose  up  to    depart;  but  his  father  in 
Slav;  urged  him,  and  he  lodged  there  again.     And  he 
arose  early  in  the  morning  on  the   fifth  day  to  de- 
part; and   the  damsel's  father  said.  Comfort  thine 
heart,  I  pray  thee,  and  tarry  ye  until  the  day  de- 
9clineth;  and  they  did  eat,  both  of  them.     And  when 
the  man  rose  up  to  depart,  he,  and  his  concubine, 
and  his   servant,  his    father    in    law,  the  damsel's 
father,  said  unto  him.  Behold,  now  the  day  draweth 
toward  evening,  I  pray  you  tarry  all  night :  behold, 
the  day  groweth  to  an  end,  lodge   here,  that  thine 
heart  may  be  merry ;  and  to-morrow  get  you  early 

10  on  your  way,  that  thou  mayest  go  'home.  But  the 
man  would  not  tarry  that  night,  but  he  rose  up  and 
departed,  and  came  over  against  Je'bus  (the  same  is 
Je-ru'sa-lem) :  and  there  were  with  him  a  couple  of 
asses  saddled;    his   concubine  also  was  with  him. 

11  When  they  were  by  Je'bus,  the  day  was  far  spent; 
and  the  servant  said  unto  his  master.  Come,  I  pray 
thee,  and  let  us  turn  aside  into  this  city  of  the  Jeb'u- 

12  sites,  and  lodge  in  it.  And  his  master  said  unto 
him.  We  will  not  turn  aside  into  the  city  of  a 
stranger,  Hhat  is  not  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  but 

13  we  will  pass  over  to  Gib'e-ah.  And  he  said  unto  his 
servant.  Come  and  let  us  draw  near  to  one  of  these 
places;  and  we  will  lodge  in  Gib'e-ah,  or  in  Ra'mah. 

14 So  they  passed  on  and  went  their  way;  and  the  sun 
went  down  upon  them  near  to  Gib'e-ah,  which  be- 

15  longeth  to  Ben'ja-min.  And  they  turned  aside  thither, 
to  go  in  to  lodge  in  Gib'e-ah  :  and  he  went  in,  and  sat 
him  down  in  the  street  of  the  city :  for  there  was 
no  man   that  took  them   into  his   house   to   lodge 

16  And,  behold,  there  came  an  old  man  from  his  work 
out  of  the  field  at  even;  now  the  man  was  of  the 
hill  country  of  E'phra-im,  and  he  sojourned  in  Gib'- 
e-ah :  but  the  men  of  the  place  were  Ben'ja-mites. 

17  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  the  wayfaring 
man  in  the  street  of  the  city ;  and  the  old  man  said. 
Whither   goest    thou?    and    whence   comest    thou? 

18  And  he  said  unto  him.  We  are  passing  from  Beth'- 
le-hem-ju'dah  unto  the  farther  side  of  the  hill  country 
of  E'phra-im;  from  thence  am  I,  and  I  went  to  Beth'- 
le-hem-ju'dah:  ^and  I  am  now  going  to  the  house  of 
the  Lord;  and  there  is  no  man  that  taketh  me  into 

19  his  house.  Yet  there  is  both  straw  and  provender 
for  our  asses;  and  there  is  bread  and  wine  also  for 
me,  and  for  thy  handmaid,  and  for  the  young  man 
which  is  with  thy  servants :  there  is  no  want  of  any 

20 thing.  And  the  old  man  said.  Peace  be  unto  thee; 
howsoever  let  all  thy  wants  lie  upon  me ;  only  lodge 

21  not  in  the  street.  So  he  brought  him  into  his  house, 
and  gave  the  asses  fodder :  and  they  washed  their 

22  feet,  and  did  eat  and  drink.  As  they  were  making 
their  hearts  merry,  behold,  the  men  of  the  city,  cer- 
tain ^sons  of  °Be'li-al,  beset  the  house  round  about, 
beating  at  the  door;  and  they  spake  to  the  master 
of  the  house,  the  old  man,  saying.  Bring  forth  the 
man  that  came  into  thine  house,  that  we  may  know 

23  him.  And  the  man,  the  master  of  the  house,  went 
out  unto  them,  and  said  unto  them.  Nay,  my  breth- 
ren, I  pray  you,  do  not  so  wickedly ;  seeing  that 
this  man  is  come  into  mine  house,  do  not  this  folly.

do  with  them  what  seemeth  good  unto  you :  but  unto  this 
man  do  not  fso  vile  a  thing. 

25  But  the  men  would  not  hearken  to  him :  so  the  man 
took  his  concubine,  and  brought  her  forth  unto  them ; 
and  they  ''knew  her,  and  abused  her  all  the  night  until 
the  morning:  and  when  the  day  began  to  spring,  they  let 
her  go. 

26  Then  came  the  woman  in  the  dawning  of  the  day,  and 
fell  down  at  the  door  of  the  man's  house  where  her  lord  was, 
till  it  was  light. 

27  And  her  lord  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and  opened  the 
doors  of  the  house,  and  went  out  to  go  his  way  :  and,  behold, 
the  woman  his  concubine  was  fallen  down  at  the  door  of  the 
house,  and  her  hands  were  upon  the  threshold. 

28  And  he  said  unto  her,  Up,  and  let  us  be  going.  But 
'none  answered.  Then  the  man  took  her  up  upon  an  ass, 
and  the  man  rose  up,  and  gat  him  unto  his  place. 

29  "[[And  when  he  was  come  into  his  house,  he  took  a  knife, 
and  laid  hold  on  his  concubine,  and  "divided  her,  together 
with  her  bones,  into  twelve  pieces,  and  sent  her  into  all  the 
coasts  of  Is'ra-el. 

30  And  it  was  so,  that  all  that  saw  it,  said.  There  was  no 
such  deed  done  nor  seen  from  the  day  that  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  came  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  unto  this  day : 
consider  of  it,  "take  advice,  and  speak  your  minds.

THEN  "all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  out,  and  the  con- 
gregation was  gathered  together  as  one  man,  from  ''Dan 
even  to  Be'er-she'ba,  with  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  unto  the  Lord 
"in  Miz'peh. 

2  And  the  chief  of  all  the  people;  even  of  all  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el,  presented  them.selves  in  the  assembly  of  the  people 
of  God,  four  hundred  thousand  footmen  ''that  drew  sword. 

3  (Now  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  heard  that  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  were  gone  up  to  Miz'peh.)  Then  said  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  Tell  us,  how  was  this  wickedness  ? 

4  And  fthe  Le'vite,  the  husband  of  the  woman  that  was 
slain,  answered  and  said,  'I  came  into  Gib'e-ah  that  belongeth 
to  Ben'ja-min,  I  and  my  concubine,  to  lodge. 

5  -'^And  the  men  of  Gib'e-ah  rose  against  me,  and  beset  the 
house  round  about  upon  me  by  night,  and  thought  to  have 
slain  me :  'and  my  concubine  have  they  fforced,  that  she 
is  dead. 

6  And  *I  took  my  concubine,  and  cut  her  in  pieces,  and  sent 
her  throughout  all  the  country  of  the  inheritance  of  Is'ra-el : 
for  they  'have  committed  lewdness  and  folly  in  Is'ra-el. 

7  Behold,  ye  are  all  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  'give  here  your 
advice  and  counsel. 

8  ^And  all  the  people  arose  as  one  man,  saying.  We  will 
not  any  of  us  go  to  his  tent,  neither  will  we  any  oj  us  turn 
into  his  house. 

9  But  now  this  shaM  he  the  thing  which  we  will  do  to 
Gib'e-ah  ;  we  will  go  up  by  lot  again.st  it ; 

10  And  we  will  take  ten  men  of  a  hundred  throughout  all 
the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  and  a  hundred  of  a  thousand,  and  a 
thousand  out  of  ten  thousand,  to  fetch  victual  for  the  people, 
that  they  may  do,  when  they  come  to  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min, 
according  to  all  the  folly  that  they  have  wrought  in  Is'ra-el. 

11  So  all  the  men  of  Ls'ra-el  were  gathered  against  the  city, 
fknit  together  as  one  man. 

12  ^'And  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  sent  men  through  all  the 
tribe  of  Ben'ja-min,  saying.  What  wickedness  is  this  that  is 
done  among  you  ? 

13  Now  therefore  deliver  us  the  men,  "the  children  of  Be'- 
li-al, which  are  in  Gib'e-ah,  that  we  may  put  them  to  death, and 
"put  away  evil  from  Is'ra-el.  But  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min 


24  Behold,  here  is  my  daughter  a  maiden,  and  his  con- 
cubine ;  them  I  will  bring  out  now,  and  humble  ye 
them,  and  do  with  them  what  seemeth  good  unto 
you :    but  unto   this   man   do   not   any   such   folly. 

25  But  the  men  would  not  hearken  to  him  :  so  the  man 
laid  hold  on  his  concubine,  and  brought  her  forth 
unto  them ;  and  they  knew  her,  and  abused  her  all 
the  night    until    the  morning :    and  when  the   day 

26  began  to  spring,  they  let  her  go.  Then  came  the 
woman  in  the  dawning  of  the  day,  and  fell  down  at 
the  door  of  the  man's  house  where  her  lord  was,  till 

27  it  was  light.  And  her  lord  rose  up  in  the  morning, 
and  opened  the  doors  of  the  house,  and  M'ent  out  to 
go  his  way  :  and,  behold,  the  woman  his  concubine 
was  fallen  down  at  the  door  of  the  house,  with  her 

28  hands  upon  the  threshold.  And  he  said  unto  her. 
Up,  and  let  us  be  going ;  but  none  answered :  then 
he  took  her  up  upon  the  ass ;  and  the  man  rose  up, 

29  and  gat  him  unto  his  place.  And  when  he  was  come 
into  his  house,  he  took  a  knife,  and  laid  hold  on  his 
concubine,  and  divided  her,  'limb  by  limb,  into  twelve 
pieces,  and  sent  her  throughout  all  the  borders  of  Is'- 

30  ra-el.  And  it  was  so,  that  all  that  saw  it  said.  There 
was  no  such  deed  done  nor  seen  from  the  day  that 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  up  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt  unto  this  day :  consider  of  it,  take  counsel, 
and  speak. 

^  V  Then  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  out,  and  the 
congregation  was  assembled  as  one  man,  from  Dan 
even  to  Be'er-she'ba,  with  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  unto 

2  the  Lord  at  Miz'pah.  And  the  ^chiefs  of  all  the 
people,  'even  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  presented 
themselves  in  the  assembly  of  the  people  of  God, 
four  hundred  thousand   footmen    that  drew  sword. 

3  (Now  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  heard  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  were  gone  up  to  Miz'pah.)  And  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  said,  Tell  us,  how  was  this  wicked- 

4  ness  brought  to  pass  ?  And  the  Le'vite,  the  husband 
of  the  woman  that  was  murdered,  answered  and 
said,  I  came  into  Gib'e-ah  that  belongeth  to  Ben'ja- 

5  min,  I  and  my  concubine,  to  lodge.  And  the  men  of 
Gib'e-ah  rose  against  me,  and  beset  the  house  round 
about  upon  me  by  night ;  me  they  thought  to  have 
slain,  and    my   concubine  they  forced,  and  she   is 

6  dead.  And  I  took  my  concubice,  and  cut  her  in 
pieces,  and  sent  her  throughout  all  the  country  of 
the  inheritance  of  Is'ra-el :  for  they  have  committed 

7  lewdness  and  folly  in  Is'ra-el.  Behold,  ye  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  all  of  you,  give   here  your  advice  and 

8  counsel.  And  all  the  people  arose  as  one  man, 
saying.  We  will  not  any  of  us  go  to  his  tent,  neither 

ywill  M'e  any  of  us  turn  unto  his  house.  But  now 
this  is  the  thing  which  we  will  do  to  Gib'e-ah;  we 
\Q  will  go  up  against  it  by  lot;  and  we  will  take  ten 
men  of  an  hundred  throughout  all  the  tribes  of  Is'- 
ra-el, and  an  hundred  of  a  thousand,  and  a  thousand 
out  of  ten  thousand,  to  fetch  victual  for  the  peo- 
ple, that  they  may  do,  when  they  come  to  'Gib'e-ah 
of  Ben'ja-min,  according  to  all  the  folly  that  they 

11  have  wrought  in  Is'ra-el.  So  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
were  gathered  against  the  city,  knit  together  as 
one  man. 

12  And  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  sent  men  through  all 
the  'tribe  of  Ben'ja-min,  saying.  What  wickedness 

13  is  this  that  is  come  to  pass  among  you  ?  Now 
therefore  deliver  up  the  men,  the  'sons  of  ^Be'li-al, 
which  are  in  Gib'e-ah,  that  we  may  put  them  to  death, 
and  put  away  evil  from  Is'ra-el.     But  'Ben'ja-min

would  not  hearken  to  the  voice  of  their  brethren  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el : 

14  But  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether out  of  the  cities  unto  Gib'e-ah,  to  go  out  to  battle 
against  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

15  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  were  numbered  at  that 
time  out  of  the  cities  twenty  and  six  thousand  men  that 
drew  s^ord,  besides  the  inhabitants  of  Gib'e-ah,  which  were 
numbered  seven  hundred  chosen  men. 

16  Among  all  this  people  there  were  seven  hundred  chosen 
men  "lefthanded;  every  one  could  sling  stones  at  a  hair 
breadth,  and  not  miss. 

17  And  the  men  of  I.s'ra-el,  besides  Ben'ja-min,  were  num- 
bered four  hundred  thousand  men  that  drew  sword :  all 
these  were  men  of  war. 

18  T[And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  arose,  and  "went  up  to 
the  house  of  God,  and  'asked  counsel  of  God,  and  said. 
Which  of  us  shall  go  up  first  to  the  battle  against  the  chil- 
dren of  Ben'ja-min  ?  And  the  Lord  said,  Ju'dah  shall  go 
up  first. 

19  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and 
encamped  against  Gib'e-ah. 

20  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  went  out  to  battle  against  Ben'- 
ja-min ;  and  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  put  themselves  in  array  to 
fight  against  them  at  Gib'e-ah. 

5l  And  ''the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  came  forth  out  of 
Gib'e-ah,  and  destroyed  down  to  the  ground  of  the  Is'ra-el- 
ites  that  day  twenty  and  two  thousand  men. 

22  And  the  people,  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  encouraged  them- 
selves, and  set  their  battle  again  in  array  in  the  place  where 
they  put  themselves  in  array  the  first  day. 

23  ('And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  up  and  wept  before 
the  Lord  until  even,  and  asked  counsel  of  the  Lord  say- 
ing, Shall  I  go  up  again  to  battle  against  the  children 
of  Ben'ja-min  my  brother?  And  the  Lord  said,  Go  up 
against  him.) 

24  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  near  against  the  chil- 
dren of  Ben'ja-min  the  second  day. 

25  And  'Ben'ja-min  went  forth  against  them  out  of  Gib'e-ah 
the  second  day,  and  destroyed  down  to  the  ground  of  the 
children  of  Is  ra-el  again  eighteen  thousand  men ;  all  these 
drew  the  sword. 

26  ^Then  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  all  the  people, 
"went  up,  and  came  unto  the  house  of  God,  and  wept, 
and  sat  there  before  the  Lord,  and  fasted  that  day  until 
even,  and  oflFered  burnt  offerings  and  peace  offerings  before 
the  Lord. 

27  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  inquired  of  the  Lord,  (for 
^the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  God  wrt,s  there  in  those  days, 

28  "And  Phin'e-has,  the  son  of  E-k?-a'zar,  the  son  of  Aa'ron, 
'stood  before  it  in  those  days,)  saying,  Shall  I  yet  again  go 
out  to  battle  against  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  my  brother, 
or  shall  I  cease?  And  the  Lord  said,  Go  up;  for  to-mor- 
row I  will  deliver  them  into  thine  hand. 

29  And  Is'ra-el  "set  liers  in  wait  round  about  Gib'e-ah. 

30  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  up  against  the  chil- 
dren of  Ben'ja-min  on  the  third  day,  and  put  themselves  in 
array  against  Gib'e-ah,  as  at  other  times. 

31  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  went  out  against  the 
people,  a7id  were  drawn  away  from  the  city;  and  they 
began  f  to  smite  of  the  people,  and  kill,  as  at  other  times, 
in  the  highways,  of  which  one  goeth  up  to  ||the  house  of 
God,  and  the  other  to  Gib'e-ah  in  the  field,  about  thirty  men 
of  Is'ra-el. 

32  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  said,  They  are  smitten 
down  before  us,  as  at  the  first.  But  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
said.  Let  us  flee,  and  draw  them  from  the  city  unto  the 
highways. 

1  33  And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  rose  up  out  of  their  place, 


would  not  hearken  to  the  voice  of  their  brethren 
14  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja- 
min  gathered  themselves  together  out  of  the  cities 
unto  Gib'e-ah,  to  go  out  to  battle  against  the  chil 
15dren  of  Is'ra-eL  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  were 
numbered  on  that  day  out  of  the  cities  twenty  and 
'six  thousand  men  that  drew  sword,  besides  the  in- 
habitants of  Gib'e-ah,  which  were  numbered  seven 

16  hundred  chosen  men.  Among  all  this  people  there 
were  seven  hundred  chosen  men  lefthanded;  every 
one  could  sling  stones  at  an  hair-breadth,  and  not 
miss. 

17  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  beside  Ben'ja-min,  were 
numbered  four  hundred  thousand   men  that   drew 

18  sword:  all  these  were  men  of  war.  And  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  arose,  and  went  up  to  Beth'-el,  and  asked 
counsel  of  God ;  and  they  said.  Who  shall  go  up  for 
us  fir.st  to  battle  against  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  ? 

19  And  the  Lord  said,  Ju'dah  shall  go  up  first.  And 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and 

20  encamped  against  Gib'e-ah.  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
went  out  to  battle  against  Ben'ja-min ;  and  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el  set  the  battle  in  array  against  them  at 

21  Gib'e-ah.  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  came  forth 
out  of  Gib'e-ah,  and  destroyed  down  to  the  ground 
of  the  Is'ra-el-ites  on  that  day  twenty  and  two  thou- 

22  sand  men.  And  the  people,  the  men  of  Is'ra-el, 
encouraged  themselves,  and  set  the  battle  again  in 
array    in   the   place    where   they   set  themselves  in 

23  array  the  first  day.  (And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
went  up  and  wept  before  the  Lord  until  even ; 
and  they  asked  of  the  Lord,  saying.  Shall  I  again 
draw  nigh  to  battle  against  the  children  of  Ben'ja- 
min  my  brother?  And  the  Lord  said.  Go  up 
against  him.) 

24  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  came  near  against  the 

25  children  of  Ben'ja-min  the  second  day.  And  Ben'- 
ja'ihin  went  forth  against  them  out  of  Gib'e-ah  the 
second  day,  and  destroyed  down  to  the  ground  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  again  eighteen  thousand  men  ; 

26  all  these  drew  the  sword.  Then  all  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  all  the  people,  went  up,  and  came  unto 
Beth'-el,  and  wept,  and  sat  there  before  the  Lord, 
and  fasted  that  day  until  even ;  and  they  offered 
burnt  offerings  and  peace  offerings  before  the  Lord. 

27  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  asked  of  the  Lord,  (for 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  God  was  there   in    those 

28  days,  and  Phin'e-has,  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar,  the  son  of 
Aa'ron,  stood  before  it  in  those  days,)  saying,  Shall 
I  yet  again  go  out  to  battle  against  the  children  of 
Ben'ja-min  my  brother,  or  shall  I  cease?  And  the 
Lord  said.  Go  up;  for  to-morrow  I  will  deliver  him 

29  into  thine  hand.  And  Is'ra-el  set  liers  in  wait  against 
Gib'e-ah  round  about. 

30  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  went  up  against  the 
children  of  Ben'ja-min  on  the  third  day,  and  set  them- 
selves in  array  against  Gib'e-ah,  as  at  other  times. 

31  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  went  out  against  the 
people,  and  were  drawn  away  from  the  city ;  and  they 
began  to  smite  and  kill  of  the  people,  as  at  other 
times,  in  the  high  ways,  of  which  one  goeth  up  to 
Beth'-el,  and  the  other  to  Gib'e-ah,  in  the  field,  about 

32  thirty  men  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min 
said.  They  are  smitten  down  before  us,  as  at  the  first. 
But  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  said,  Let  us  flee,  and 
draw  them  away  from  the  city  unto  the  high  ways. 

33  And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  rose  up  out  of  their  place.

and  put  themselves  in  array  at  Ba'al-ta'mar :  and  the  liers 
in  wait  of  Is'ra-el  came  forth  out  of  their  places,  even  out 
of  the  meadows  of  Gib'e-ah. 

34  And  there  came  against  Gib'e-ah  ten  thousand  chosen 
men  out  of  all  Ts'ra-el,  and  the  battle  was  sore :  ''but  they 
knew  not  that  evil  was  near  them. 

35  And  the  Lord  smote  Ben'ja-min  before  Is'ra-el:  and 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  destroyed  of  the  Ben'ja-mites  that 
day  twenty  and  five  thousand  and  a  hundred  men :  all 
these  drew  the  sword. 

36  So  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  saw  that  they  were 
smitten :  "for  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  gave  place  to  the  Ben'- 
ja-mites, because  they  trusted  unto  the  liers  in  wait  which 
they  had  set  beside  Gib'e-ah. 

37  "^And  the  liers  in  wait  hasted,  and  rushed  upon  Gib'e-ah ; 
and  the  liers  in  wait  ||  drew  themselves  along,  and  smote  all 
the  city  with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

38  Now  there  was  an  appointed  ||sign  between  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el  fand  the  liers  in  wait,  that  they  should  make  a 
great  fflame  with  smoke  rise  up  out  of  the  city. 

39  And  when  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  retired  in  the  battle, 
Ben'ja-min  began  f  to  smite  and  kill  of  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
about  thirty  persons :  for  they  said.  Surely  they  are  smit- 
ten down  before  us,  as  in  the  first  battle. 

40  But  when  the  flame  began  to  arise  up  out  of  the  city 
with  a  pillar  of  smoke,  the  Ben'ja-mites  'looked  behind  them, 
and,  behold,  fthe  flame  of  the  city  ascended  up  to  the  heaven. 

41  And  when  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  turned  again,  the  men 
of  Ben'ja-min  were  amazed :  for  they  saw  that  evil  fwas 
come  upon  them. 

42  Therefore  they  turned  their  backs  before  the  men  of 
Is'ra-el  unto  the  way  of  the  wilderness;  but  the  battle 
overtook  them;  and  them  which  came  out  of  the  cities 
they  destroyed  in  the  midst  of  them. 

43  2%MS  they  inclosed  the  Ben'ja-mites  round  about,  and 
chased  them,  and  trode  them  down  ||  with  ease  fover  against 
Gib'e-ah  toward  the  sunrising. 

44  And  there  fell  of  Ben'ja-min  eighteen  thousand  men; 
all  these  were  men  of  valour. 

45  And  they  turned  and  fled  toward  the  wilderness  unto 
the  rock  of  -^  Eim'mon :  and  they  gleaned  of  them  in  the 
highways  five  thousand  men ;  and  pursued  hard  after  them 
unto  Gi'dom,  and  slew  two  thousand  men  of  them. 

46  So  that  all  which  fell  that  day  of  Ben'ja-min  were 
twenty  and  five  thousand  men  that  drew  the  sword;  all 
these  were  men  of  valour. 

47  "But  six  hundred  men  turned  and  fled  to  the  wilder- 
ness unto  the  rock  Rim'mon,  and  abode  in  the  rock  Rim'- 
mon  four  months. 

48  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  turned  again  upon  the  chil- 
dren of  Ben'ja-min,  and  smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  as  well  the  men  of  every  city,  as  the  beast,  and  all 
that  fcame  to  hand :  also  they  set  on  fire  all  the  cities  that 
fthey  came  to. 

CHAPTER    XXI. 

The  people  bewail  the  desolation  of  Benjamin. 

"VTOW  "the  men  of  Is'ra-el  had  sworn  in  Miz'peh,  saying, 
i- '  There  shall  not  any  of  us  give  his  daughter  unto  Ben'- 
ja-min to  wife. 

2  And  the  people  came  'to  the  house  of  God,  and  abode  there 
till  even  before  God,  and  lifted  up  their  voices,  and  wept  sore ; 

3  And  said,  O  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  why  is  this  come  to 
pass  in  Is'ra-el,  that  there  should  be  to-day  one  tribe  lack- 
ing in  Is'ra-el? 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  the  people  rose 
Wrly,  and  "built  there  an  altar,  and  offered  burnt  offerings, 

and  peace  offerings. 

5  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  said.  Who  is  there  among  all 
the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  that  came  not  up  with  the  congregation 


and  set  themselves  in  array  at  Ba'al-ta'mar :  and  the 
liers  in  wait  of  Is'ra-el  brake  forth  out  of  their  place, 

34  even  out  of  'Ma'a-reh-ge'ba.  And  there  came  over 
against  Gib'e-ah  ten  thousand  chosen  men  out  of  all 
Is'ra-el,  and  the  battle  was  sore :  but  they  knew  not 

35  that  evil  was  ^close  upon  them.  And  the  Lord 
smote  Ben'ja-min  before  Is'ra-el :  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  destroyed  of  Ben'ja-min  that  day  twenty  and 
five  thousand  and  an  hundred  men:  all  these  drew 
the  sword. 

36  So  the  children  of  Ben'jamin  saw  that  they  were 
smitten :  for  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  gave  place  to  Ben'ja- 
min,  because  they  trusted  unto  the  liers  in  wait  which 

37  they  had  set  against  Gib'e-ah.  And  the  liers  in  wait 
hasted,  and  rushed  upon  Gib'e-ah ;  and  the  liers  in 
wait  drew  themselves  along,  and  smote  all  the  city 

38  with  the  edge  of  the  sword.  Now  the  appointed 
sign  between  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  liers  in  wait 
was,  that  they  should  make  a  great  cloud  of  smoke 

39  rise  up  out  of  the  city.  ^And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
turned  in  the  battle,  and  Ben'ja-min  began  to  smite 
and  kill  of  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  about  thirty  persons : 
for  they  said.  Surely  they  are  smitten  down  before 

40  us,  as  in  the  first  battle.  But  when  the  cloud  began 
to  arise  up  out  of  the  city  in  a  pillar  of  smoke,  the 
Ben'ja-mites  looked   behind  them,  and,  behold,  the 

41  whole  of  the  city  went  up  in  smoke  to  heaven.  And 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el  turned,  and  the  men  oi"  Ben'ja-min 
were    amazed:    for  they   saw   that   evil   was  come 

42  upon  them.  Therefore  they  turned  their  backs 
before  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  unto  the  way  of  the  wilder- 
ness; but  the  battle  followed  hard  after  them;  and 
^they  which  came  out  of  the  cities  destroyed  them 

43  in  the  midst  thereof.  They  inclosed  the  Ben'ja-mites 
round  about,  and  chased  them,  and  'trode  them 
down  ^at  their  resting  place,  as  far  as  over  against 

44  Gib'e-ah  toward  the  sunrising.  And  there  fell  of 
Ben'ja-min   eighteen  thousand    men;  all  these  were 

45  men  of  valour.  And  they  turned  and  fled  toward 
the  wilderness  unto  the  rock  of  Rim'mon :  and  they 
gleaned  of  them  in  the  high  ways  five  thousand  men ; 
and   followed    hard  after   them    unto   Gi'dom,  and 

46  smote  of  them  two  thousand  men.  So  that  all  which 
fell  that  day  of  Ben'ja-min  were  twenty  and  five  thou- 
sand men  that  drew  the  sword ;  all  these  were  men 

47  of  valour.  But  six  hundred  men  turned  and  fled 
toward  the  wilderness  unto  the  rock  of  Sim'mon, 
and  abode  in  the    rock  of  Rim'mon  four   months. 

48  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  turned  again  upon  the  chil- 
dren of  Ben'ja-min,  and  smote  them  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  both  Hhe  entire  city,  and  the  cattle,  and 
all  that  they  found :  moreover  all  the  cities  which 
they  found  they  set  on  fire, 

^J-  Now  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  had  sworn  in  Miz'pah, 
saying,  There  shall  not  any  of  us  give  his  daughter 

2  unto  Ben'ja-min  to  wife.  And  the  people  came  to 
Beth'-el,  and  sat  there  till  even  before  God,  and  lifted 

Sup  their  voices,  and  wept  sore.  And  they  said,  O 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  why  is  this  come  to  pass  in 
Is'ra-el,  that  there  should  be  to-day  one  tribe  lacking 

4  in  Is'ra-el  ?  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that 
the  people  rose  early,  and  built  there  an  altar,  and 

5  offered  burnt  offerings  and  peace  offerings.  And  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  said.  Who  is  thpre  among  all  the 
tribes  of  Is'ra-el  that  came  not  up  in  the  assembly

unio  the  Lord?  ''For  they  had  made  a  great  oath  con- 
cerning him  that  came  not  up  to  the  Lord  to  Miz'peh,  say- 
ing, He  shall  surely  be  put  to  death. 

6  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  repented  them  for  Ben'ja- 
min  their  brother,  and  said,  There  is  one  tribe  cut  off  from 
Is'ra-el  this  day. 

7  How  shall  we  do  for  wives  for  them  that  remain,  seeing 
we  have  sworn  by  the  Lord,  that  we  will  not  give  them  of 
our  daughters  to  wives? 

8  ^And  they  said,  What  one  is  there  of  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el  that  came  not  up  to  Miz'peh  to  the  Lord?  And, 
behold,  there  came  none  to  the  camp  from  *Ja'besh-gil'e-ad 
to  the  assembly. 

9  For  the  people  were  numbered,  and,  behold,  there  were 
none  of  the  inhabitants  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  there. 

10  And  the  congregation  sent  thither  twelve  thousand 
men  of  the  valiantest,  and  commanded  them,  saying,  •'^Go 
and  smite  the  inhabitants  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  with  the  women  and  the  children. 

11  And  this  is  the  thing  that  ye  shall  do,  "Ye  shall 
utterly  destroy  every  male,  and  every  woman  that  fhath 
Iain  by  man. 

12  And  they  found  among  the  inhabitants  of  Ja'besh- 
gil'e-ad  four  hundred  fyoung  virgins  that  had  known  no 
man  by  lying  with  any  male :  and  they  brought  them  unto 
the  camp  to  *Shi'loh,  which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

13  And  the  whole  congregation  sent  some  fto  speak  to 
the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  *that  were  in  the  rock  Rim'mon, 
and  to  II  call  peaceably  unto  them. 

14  And  Ben'ja-min  came  again  at  that  time ;  and  they  gave 
them  wives  which  they  had  saved  alive  of  the  women  of 
Ja'besh-gil'e-ad :  and  yet  so  they  sufficed  them  not. 

15  And  the  people  *repented  them  for  Ben'ja-min,  be- 
cause that  the  Lord  had  made  a  breach  in  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el. 

16  ^Then  the  elders  of  the  congregation  said.  How  shall 
we  do  for  wives  for  them  that  remain,  seeing  the  women  are 
destroyed  out  of  Ben'ja-min  ? 

17  And  they  said.  There  must  be  an  inheritance  for  them 
that  be  escaped  of  Ben'ja-min,  that  a  tribe  be  not  destroyed 
out  of  Is'ra-el. 

18  Howbeit  we  may  not  give  them  wives  of  our  daughters : 
'for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  have  sworn,  saying,  Cursed  be  he 
that  giveth  a  wife  to  Ben'ja-min. 

19  Then  they  said.  Behold,  there  is  a  feast  of  the  Lord  in 
Shi'loh  tyearly  in  a  place  which  is  on  the  north  side  of 
Beth'-el,  ||on  the  east  side  ||of  the  highway  that  goeth  up 
from  Beth'-el  to  She'chem,  and  on  the  south  of  Le-bo'nah. 

20  Therefore  they  commanded  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min, 
saying,  Go,  and  lie  in  wait  in  the  vineyards ; 

21  And  see,  and,  behold,  if  the  daughters  of  Shi'loh  come 
out  ""to  dance  in  dances,  then  come  ye  out  of  the  vineyards, 
and  catch  you  every  man  his  wife  of  the  daughters  of  Shi'- 
loh, and  go  to  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min. 

22  And  it  shall  be,  when  their  fathers  or  their  brethren 
come  unto  us  to  complain,  that  we  will  say  unto  them, 
II  Be  favourable  unto  them  for  our  sakes:  because  we 
reserved  not  to  each  man  his  wife  in  the  war :  for  ye  did  not 
give  unto  them  at  this  time,  that  ye  should  be  guilty. 

23  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  did  so,  and  took 
them  wives,  according  to  their  number,  of  them  that 
danced,  whom  they  caught :  and  they  went  and  returned 
unto  their  inheritance,  and  "repaired  the  cities,  and  dwelt 
in  them. 

24  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  departed  thence  at  that 
time,  every  man  to  his  tribe  and  to  his  family,  and  they  went 
out  from  thence  every  man  to  his  inheritance. 

25  "In  those  days  there  was  no  king  in  Is'ra-el :  ''every 
man  did  that  which  was  right  in  his  own  eyes. 


unto  the  Lord?  For  they  had  made  a  great  oath 
concerning  him  that  came  not  up  unto  the  Lord  to 
Miz'pah,    saying,  he  shall  surely  be    put  to  death. 

6  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  repented  them  for  Ben'- 
ja-min their  brother,  and  said.  There  is  one  tribe  cut 

7  off  from  Is'ra-el  this  day.  How  shall  we  do  for  wives 
for  them  that  remain,  seeing  we  have  sworn  by  the 
Lord  that  we  will  not  give  them  of  our  daughters 

8  to  wives?  And  they  said,  What  one  is  there  of  the 
tribes  of  Is'ra-el  that  came  not  up  unto  the  Lord  to 
Miz'pah?     And,  behold,   there  came    none   to  the 

9  camp  from  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  to  the  assembly.  For 
when  the  people  were  numbered,  behold,  there  were 

10  none  of  the  inhabitants  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  there.  And 
the  congregation  sent  thither  twelve  thousand  men 
of  the  valiantest,  and  commanded  them,  saying.  Go 
and  smite  the  inhabitants  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  with  the 
edge   of  the  sword,  with  the  women   and  the  little 

Hones.  And  this  is  the  thing  that  ye  shall  do;  ye 
shall  utterly  destroy  every  male,  and  every  woman 

12  that  hath  lien  by  man.  And  they  found  among  the 
inhabitants  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  four  hundred  young 
virgins,  that  had  not  known  man  by  lying  with  him : 
and  they  brought  them  unto  the  camp  to  Shi'loh, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan. 

13  And  the  whole  congregation  sent  and  spake  to 
the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  that  were  in  the  rock  of 

14  Rim'mon,  antl  proclaimed  peace  unto  them.  And 
Ben'ja-min  returned  at  that  time ;  and  they  gave  them 
the  women  which  they  had  saved  alive  of  the  women 
of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad :  and  yet  so  they  sufficed  them  not. 

15  And  the  people  repented  them  for  Ben'ja-min,  be- 
cause that  the  Lord  had  made  a  breach  in  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el. 

16  Then  the  elders  of  the  congregation  said.  How 
shall  we  do  for  wives  for  them  that  remain,  seeing 

17  the  women  are  destroyed  out  of  Ben'ja-min  ?  And 
they  said.  There  must  be  an  inheritance  for  them 
that  are  escaped   of  Ben'ja-min,  that  a  tribe  be  not 

18  blotted  out  from  Is'ra-el.  Howbeit  we  may  not  give 
them  wives  of  our  daughters:  for  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  had  sworn,  saying.  Cursed  be  he  that  giveth 

19  a  wife  to  Ben'ja-min.  And  they  said,  Behold,  there  is 
'a  feast  of  the  Lord  from  year  to  year  in  Shi'loh, 
which  is  on  the  north  of  Beth'-el,  on  the  east  side  of 
the  high  way  that  goeth  up  from  Beth'-el  to  She'chem, 

20  and  on  the  south  of  Le-bo'nah.  And  they  com- 
manded the  children  of  Ben'ja-min,  saying.  Go  and 

21  lie  in  wait  in  the  vineyards;  and  see,  and,  behold, 
if  the  daughters  of  Shi'loh  come  out  to  dance  in  the 
dances,  then  come  ye  out  of  the  vineyards,  and  catch 
you  every  man  his  wife  of  the  daughters  of  Shi'loh, 

22  and  go  to  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min.  And  it  shall  be, 
Avhen  their  fathers  or  their  brethren  come  to  ^com- 
plain unto  us,  that  we  will  say  unto  them.  Grant 
them  ^graciously  unto  us:  because  we  took  not  for 
each  man  of  them  his  wife  in  battle :  neither  did  ye 
give  them  unto  them ;  else  would  ye  now  be  guilty. 

23  And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  did  so,  and  took  them 
wives,  according  to  their  number,  of  them  that  danced, 
whom  they  carried  off:  and  they  went  and  returned 
unto  their  inheritance,  and  built  the  cities,  and  dwelt 

24  in  them.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  departed  thence 
at  that  time,  every  man  to  his  tribe  and  to  his  family, 
and  they  went  out  from  thence  every  man  to  his  in- 

25heritance.  In  those  days  there  was  no  king  in 
Is'ra-el :  every  man  did  that  which  was  right  in  his 
own  eyes.

CHAPTER  I. 

EUmelech^  driven  by  famine  into  Moab,  dieth  there. 

"VTOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  whea  "the  judges 
!■'  fruled,  that  there  was  'a  famine  in  the  land.  And  a 
certain  man  of  "Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah  went  to  sojourn  in  the 
country  of  Mo'ab,  he,  and  his  wife,  and  his  two  sons. 

2  And  the  name  of  the  man  loas  E-lim'6-lech,  and  the  name 
of  his  wife  Na-o'mi,  and  the  name  of  his  two  sons  Mah'lon 
and  Chil'i-on,  ''Eph'rath-ites  of  Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah.  And 
they  came  'into  the  country  of  Mo'ab,  and  fcontinued  there. 

3  And  E-lim'e-lech  Na-o'mi's  husband  died;  and  she  was 
left,  and  her  two  sons. 

4  And  they  took  them  wives  of  the  women  of  Mo'ab ;  the 
name  of  the  one  was  Or'pah,  and  the  name  of  the  other 
Ruth:  and  they  dwelt  there  about  ten  years. 

5  And  Mah'lon  and  Chil'i-on  died  also  both  of  them ;  and 
the  woman  was  left  of  her  two  sons  and  her  husband. 

6  ^Then  she  arose  with  her  daughters  in  law,  that  she 
might  return  from  the  country  of  Mo'ab :  for  she  had  heard 
in  the  country  of  Mo'ab  how  that  the  Lord  had  ■''visited  his 
people  in  "giving  them  bread. 

7  Wherefore  she  went  forth  out  of  the  place  where  she 
was,  and  her  two  daughters  in  law  with  her ;  and  they  went 
on  the  way  to  return  unto  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

8  And  Na-o'mi  said  unto  her  two  daughters  in  law,  ''Go, 
return  each  to  her  mother's  house :  "the  Lord  deal  kindly 
with  you,  as  ye  have  dealt  with  *the  dead,  and  with  me. 

9  The  Lord  grant  you  that  ye  may  find  'rest,  each  of  you 
ia  the  house  of  her  husband.  Then  she  kissed  them  ;  and 
they  lifted  up  their  voice,  and  wept. 

10  And  they  said  unto  her.  Surely  we  will  return  with 
thee  unto  thy  people. 

11  And  Na-o  mi  said.  Turn  again,  my  daughters:  why  will 
ye  go  with  me?  are  there  yet  any  more  sons  in  my  womb, 
•"that  they  may  be  your  husbands  ? 

12  Turn  again,  my  daughters,  go  your  way;  for  I  am  too  old 
to  have  a  husband.  If  I  should  say,  I  have  hope,  ||  if  I  should 
have  a  husband  also  to-night,  and  should  also  bear  sons ; 

13  Would  ye  ftarry  for  them  till  they  were  grown? 
would  ye  stay  for  them  from  having  husbands?  nay,  my 
daughters;  for  fit  grieveth  me  much  for  your  sakes  that 
"the  hand  of  the  Lord  is  gone  out  against  me. 

14  And  they  lifted  up  their  voice,  and  wept  again :  and 
Or'pah  kissed  her  mother  in  law ;  but  Ruth  "clave  unto  her. 

15  Andshesaid,Behold,thysisterinlawisgoneback untoher 
people,  and  unto ''her  gods:  ''return  thou  after  thy  sister  in  law. 

16  And  Ruth  said,  ||  "Entreat  me  not  to  leave  thee,  or  to  re- 
turn from  following  after  thee :  for  whither  thou  goest,  I  will 
go ;  and  where  thou  lodgest,  I  will  lodge :  thy  people  shall 
be  my  people,  and  thy  God  my  God : 

1 7  Where  thou  diest,  will  I  die,  and  there  will  I  be  buried : 
"the  Lord  do  so  to  me,  and  more  aLso,  if  aught  but  death 
part  thee  and  me. 

18  "When  she  saw  that  she  fwas  steadfastly  minded  to  go 
with  her,  then  she  left  speaking  unto  her. 

19  ^SotheytwowentuntiltheycametoBeth'-le-hem.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  they  were  come  to  Beth'-le-hem,  that  "all 
the  city  was  moved  about  them, and  they  said,'/*  this  Na-o'mi? 

20  And  she  said  unto  them.  Call  me  not  ||  Na-o'mi,  call  me 
||Ma'ra:  for  the  Almighty  hath  dealt  very  bitterly  with  me. 

21  I  went  out  full,  "and  the  Lord  hath  brought  me  home 
again  empty :  why  then  call  ye  me  Na-o'mi,  seeing  the  Lord 
hath  testified  against  me,  and  the  Almighty  hath  afflicted  me  ? 


THE 


BOOK  OF  RUTH. 


i  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  when  the  judges 
judged,  that  there  was  a  famine  in  the  land.  And  a 
certain  man  of  Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah  went  to  sojourn 
in  the  'country  of  Mo'ab,  he  and  his  wife,  and  his  two 

2  sons.  And  the  name  of  the  man  was  E-lim'e-lech,  and 
the  name  of  his  wife  ^Na-o'mi,  and  the  name  of  his 
two  sons  Mah'lon  and  Chil'i-on,  Eph'rath-ites  of  Beth'- 
le-hem-ju'dah.     And  they  came  into  the  country  of 

3  Mo'ab,andcontinuedthere.  And  E-lim'e-lech  Na-o  mi's 
husband  died ;  and  she  was  left,  and  her  two  sons. 

4  And  they  took  them  wives  of  the  women  of  Mo'ab ; 
the  name  of  the  one  was  Or'pah,  and  the  name  of  the 
other  Ruth  :  and  they  dwelled  there  about  ten  years. 

5  And  Mah'lon  and  Chil'i-on  died  both  of  them ;  and 
the  woman  was  left  of  her  two  children  and  of  her 

6  husband.  Then  she  arose  with  her  daughters  in 
law,  that  she  might  return  from  the  country  of  Mo'ab  : 
for  she  had  heard  in  the  country  of  Mo'ab  how  that 
the  Lord  had  visited  his  people  in  giving  them 

7  bread.  And  she  went  forth  out  of  the  place  where 
she  was,  and  her  two  daughters  in  law  with  her ; 
and  they  went  on  the  way  to  return  unto  the  land  of 

8  Ju'dah.  And  Na-o'mi  said  unto  her  two  daughters  in 
law,  Go,  return  each  of  you  to  her  mother's  house : 
the  Lord  deal  kindly  with  you,  as  ye  have  dealt 

9  with  the  dead,  and  with  me.  The  Lord  grant  you 
that  ye  may  find  rest,  each  of  you  in  the  house  of 
her  husband.    Then  she  kissed  them ;  and  they  lifted 

10  up  their  voice,  and  wept.  And  they  said  unto  her, 
Nay,  but  we  will  return  with  thee  unto  thy  people. 

11  And  Na-o'mi  said.  Turn  again,  my  daughters :  why 
will  ye  go  with  me?  have  I  yet  sons  in  my  womb, 

12 that  they  may  be  your  husbands?  Turn  again,  my 
daughters,  go  your  way ;  for  I  am  too  old  to  have 
an  husband.  If  I  should  say,  I  have  hope,  if  I  should 
even  have  an  husband  to-night,  and  should  also  bear 

13  sons ;  would  ye  therefore  tarry  till  they  were  grown  ? 
would  ye  therefore  stay  from  having  husbands  ?  nay, 
my  daughters;  for  *it  grieveth  me  much  for  your 
sakes,  for  the  hand  of  the  Lord  is  gone  forth  against 

14  me.  And  they  lifted  up  their  voice,  and  wept  again : 
and  Or'pah  kissed  her  mother  in  law ;  but  Ruth  clave 

15  unto  her.  And  she  said.  Behold,  thy  sister  in  law  is 
gone  back  unto  her  people,  and  unto  her  god :  re- 

16  turn  thou  after  thy  sister  in  law.  And  Ruth  said,  In- 
treat  me  not  to  leave  thee,  and  to  return  from  follow- 
ing after  thee :  for  whither  thou  goest,  I  will  go ;  and 
where  thou  lodgest,  I  will  lodge :  thy  people  shall  be 

17 my  people,  and  thy  God  my  God:  where  thou  diest, 
will  I  die,  and  there  will  I  be  buried :  the  Lord  do 
so  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  aught  but  death  part  thee 

18  and  me.  And  when  she  saw  that  she  was  stedfastly 
minded  to  go  with  her,  she  left  speaking  unto  her. 

19  So  they  two  went  until  they  came  to  Beth'-le-hem. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  were  come  to  Beth'- 
le-hem,  that  all  the  city  was  moved  about  them,  and  the 

20  women  said.  Is  this  Na-o'mi  ?  And  she  said  unto  them. 
Call  me  not  *Na-o'mi,  call  me  'Ma'ra :  for  the  Almighty 

21  hath  dealt  very  bitterly  with  me.  I  went  out  full, 
and  the  Lord  hath  brought  me  home  again  empty : 
why  call  ye  me  Na-o'mi,  seeing  the  Lord  hath  testi- 
fied against  me,  and  the  Almighty  hath  afflicted  me  ?

22  So  Na-o'mi  returned,  and  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess,  her 
daughter  in  law,  with  her,  which  returned  out  of  the  country 
of  Mo'ab :  and  they  came  to  Beth'-le-hem  Hn  the  beginning 
of  barley  harvest. 

CHAF-TER  II. 

Ruth  gteaneth  in  the  fields  of  Boaz. 

AND  Na-o'mi  had  a  "kinsman  of  her  husband's,  a  mighty 
man  of  wealth,  of  the  family  of  E-lim'e-lech ;  and  his 
name  was  ^\\  Bo'az. 

2  And  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess  said  unto  Na-o'mi,  Let  me  now  go 
to  the  field,  and  ''glean  ears  of  corn  after  him  in  whose  sight 
I  shall  find  grace.     And  she  said  unto  her.  Go,  my  daughter. 

3  And  she  went,  and  came,  and  gleaned  in  the  field  after  the 
reapers ;  and  her  fli^P  w^  to  light  on  a  part  of  the  field 
belonging  unto  Bo'az,  who  was  of  the  kindred  of  E-lim'e-lech. 

4  "HyAnd,  behold,  Bo'az  came  from  Beth'-le-hem,  and  said 
unto  the  reapers,  ''The  Lord  be  with  you.  And  they  an- 
swered him.  The  Lord  bless  thee. 

5  Then  said  Bo'az  unto  his  servant  that  was  set  over  the 
reapers.  Whose  damsel  is  this? 

6  And  the  servant  that  was  set  over  the  reapers  answered 
and  said,  It  is  the  Mo'ab-i-tish  damsel  'that  came  back  with 
Na-o'mi  out  of  the  country  of  Mo'ab  : 

7  And  she  said,  I  pray  you,  let  me  glean  and  gather  after 
the  reapers  among  the  sheaves :  so  she  came,  and  hath  con- 
tinued even  from  the  morning  until  now,  that  she  tarried 
a  little  in  the  house. 

8  Then  said  Bo'az  unto  Ruth,  Hearest  thou  not,  my 
daughter?  Go  not  to  glean  in  another  field,  neither  go 
from  hence,  but  abide  here  fast  by  my  maidens : 

9  Let  thine  eyes  be  on  the  field  that  they  do  reap,  and  go 
thou  after  them :  have  I  not  charged  the  young  men  that 
they  shall  not  touch  thee?  and  when  thou  art  athirst,  go 
unto  the  vessels,  and  drink  of  that  which  the  young  men 
have  drawn. 

10  Then  she  •'^fell  on  her  face,  and  bowed  herself  to  the 
ground,  and  said  unto  him.  Why  have  I  found  grace  in  thine 
eyes,  that  thou  shouldest  take  knowledge  of  me,  seeing  I 
am  a  stranger? 

11  And  Bo'az  answered  and  said  unto  her,  It  hath  fully  been 
shewed  me,  "all  that  thou  hast  done  unto  thy  mother  in  law 
since  the  death  of  thine  husband ;  and  how  thou  hast  left  thy 
father  and  thy  mother,  and  the  land  of  thy  nativity,  and  art 
come  unto  a  people  which  thou  knewest  not  heretofore. 

12  ''The  Lord  recompense  thy  work,  and  a  full  reward  be 
given  thee  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  'under  whose  wings 
thou  art  come  to  trust. 

13  Then  she  said,  ||  *Let  me  find  favour  in  thy  sight,  my 
lord ;  for  that  thou  hast  comforted  me,  and  for  that  thou  hast 
spoken  ffriendly  unto  thine  handmaid,  'though  I  be  not 
like  unto  one  of  thine  handmaidens. 

14  And  Bo'az  said  unto  her.  At  mealtime  come  thou 
hither,  and  eat  of  the  bread,  and  dip  thy  morsel  in  the  vin- 
egar. And  she  sat  beside  the  reapers :  and  he  reached  her 
parched  corn,  and  she  did  eat,  and  "was  sufficed,  and  left. 

15  And  when  she  was  risen  up  to  glean,  Bo'az  commanded 
his  young  men,  saying,  Let  her  glean  even  among  the 
sheaves,  and  freproach  her  not: 

16  And  let  iaX\  also  some  of  the  handfuls  of  purpose  for  her, 
and  leave  them,  that  she  may  glean  them,  and  rebuke  her  not. 

17  So  she  gleaned  in  the  field  until  even,  and  beat  out 
that  she  had  gleaned :  and  it  was  about  an  ephah  of  barley. 

18  ^And  she  took  it  up,  and  went  into  the  city;  and  her 
mother  in  law  saw  what  she  had  gleaned :  and  she  brought 
forth,  and.  gave  to  her  "that  she  had  reserved  after  she  was 
sufficed. 

19  And  her  mother  in  law  said  unto  her,  Where  hast  thou 
gleaned  to-day?  and  where  wroughtest  thou?  blessed  be 
he  that  did  "take  knowledge  of  thee.     And  she  shewed  her 


22  So  Na-o'mi  returned,  and  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess,  her 
daughter  in  law,  with  her,  which  returned  out  of 
the  country  of  Mo'ab:  and  they  came  to  Beth'-le-hem 
in  the  beginning  of  barley  harvest, 

^  And  Na-o'mi  had  a  kinsman  of  her  husband's,  a 
mighty  man  of  'wealth,  of  the  family  of  E-lim'e-lech  ; 

2  and  his  name  was  Bo'az.  And  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess 
said  unto  Na-o'mi,  Let  me  now  go  to  the  field,  and 
glean  among  the  ears  of  corn  after  him  in  whose 
sight  I  shall  find  grace.     And  she  said   unto   her, 

3  Go,  my  daughter.  And  she  went,  and  came  and 
gleaned  in  the  field  after  the  reapers :  and  her  hap 
was  to  light  on  the  portion  of  the  field  belonging 
unto   Bo'az,  who  was  of  the  family  of  E-lim'e-lech. 

4  And,  beliold,  Bo'az  came  from  Beth'-le-hem,  and 
said  unto  the  reapers.  The  Lord  be  with  you. 
And   they  answered    him,   The   Lord   bless   thee. 

^5  Then  said  Bo'az  unto  his  servant  that  was  set  over 
6 the  reapers.  Whose  damsel  is  this?     And  the  serv- 
ant that  was  set   over   the   reapers   answered    and 
said,  It  is  the  Mo'ab-i-tish  damsel  that  came  back 

7  with  Na-w'mi  out  of  the  country  of  Mo'ab :  and  she 
said,  Let  me  glean,  I  pray  you,  and  gather  after  the 
reapers  among  the  sheaves:  so  she  came,  and  hath 
continued  even  from  the  morning  until  now,  save 

8  that  she  tarried  a  little  in  the  house.  Then  said 
Bo'az  unto  Ruth,  Hearest  thou  not,  my  daughter? 
Go  not  to  glean  in  another  field,  neither  pass  from 

9  hence,  but  abide  here  fest  by  my  maidens.  Let 
thine  eyes  be  on  the  field  that  they  do  reap,  and 
go  thou  after  them :  have  I  not  charged  the  young 
men  that  they  shall  not  touch  thee  ?  and  when  thou 
art  athirst,  go  unto  the  vessels,  and   drink  of  that 

10  which  the  young  men  have  drawn.  Then  she  fell 
on  her  face,  and  bowed  herself  to  the  ground,  and 
said  unto  him,  Why  have  I  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
that  thou  shouldest  take  knowledge  of  me,  seeing  I 

11  am  a  stranger?  And  Bo'az  answered  and  said  unto 
her.  It  hath  fully  been  shewed  me,  all  that  thou  hast 
done  unto  thy  mother  in  law  since  the  death  of  thine 
husband :  and  how  thou  hast  left  thy  father  and  thy 
mother,  and  the  land  of  thy  nativity,  and  art  come 
unto  a  people  which  thou   knewest  not  heretofore. 

12  The  Lord  recompense  thy  work,  and  a  full  reward 
be  given  thee  of  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  under 

13  whose  wings  thou  art  come  to  take  refuge.  Then 
she  said,  Let  me  find  grace  in  thy  sight,  my  lord; 
for  that  thou  hast  comforted  me,  and  for  that  thou 
hast  spoken  -kindly  unto  thine  handmaid,  though  I 

14  be  not  as  one  of  thine  handmaidens.  And  at  meal- 
time Bo'az  said  unto  her,  Come  hither,  and  eat  of  the 
bread,  and  dip  thy  morsel  in  the  vinegar.  And  she 
sat  beside  the  reapers :  and  'they  reached  her  inarched 
corn,  and  she  did   eat,  and    was    sufficed,  and  left 

15  thereof  And  when  she  was  risen  up  to  glean, 
Bo'az  commanded  his  young  men,  saying,  Let  her 
glean  even  among  the   sheaves,  and  reproach   her 

16  not.  And  also  pull  out  some  for  her  from  the 
bundles,  and  leave  it,  and  let  her  glean,  and  rebuke 

17  her  not.  So  she  gleaned  in  the  field  until  even ;  and 
she  beat  out  that  she  had  gleaned,  and  it  was  about 

18  an  ephah  of  barley.  And  she  took  it  up,  and  went  in- 
to the  city  :  and  her  mother  in  law  saw  what  she  had 
gleaned :  and  she  brought  forth  and  gave  to  her  that 

19  she  had  left  after  she  was  sufficed.  And  her  mother 
in  law  said  unto  her.  Where  hast  thou  gleaned  to-

did  take  knowledge  of  thee.     And  she  shewed  her

mother  in  law  with  whom  she  had  wrought,  and  said,  The 
man's  name  with  whom  I  wrought  to-day  is  Bo'az. 

20  And  Na-o'mi  said  unto  her  daughter  in  law, "Blessed  be 
he  of  the  Lord,  who  'hath  not  left  off  his  kindness  to  the 
living  and  to  the  dead.  And  Na-o'mi  said  unto  her.  The 
man  is  near  of  kin  unto  us,  '■||  one  of  our  next  kinsmen. 

21  And  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess  said.  He  said  unto  me  also, 
Thou  shalt  keep  fast  by  my  young  men,  until  they  have 
ended  all  my  harvest. 

22  And  Na-o'mi  said  unto  Ruth  her  daughter  in  law,  It  is 
good,  my  daughter,  that  thou  go  out  with  his  maidens,  that 
they  II  meet  thee  not  in  any  other  field. 

23  So  she  kept  fast  by  the  maidens  of  Bo'az  to  glean  unto 
the  end  of  barley  harvest  and  of  wheat  harvest ;  and  dwelt 
with  her  mother  in  law. 

CHAPTER   III. 

By  Naomi 's  instruction  Ruth  lieth  at  Boaz^s  feet. 

THEN  Na-o'mi  her   mother  in  law  said  unto  her,  My 
daughter,  "shall  I  not  seek  ''rest  for  thee,  that  it  may  be 
well  with  thee? 

2  And  now  is  not  Bo'az  of  our  kindred,  "with  whose 
maidens  thou  wast  ?  Behold,  he  winnoweth  barley  to-night 
in  the  threshingfloor. 

3  Wash  thyself  therefore,  ''and  anoint  thee,  and  put  thy 
raiment  upon  thee,  and  get  thee  down  to  the  floor :  hut  make 
not  thyself  known  unto  the  man,  until  he  shall  have  done 
eating  and  drinking. 

4  And  it  shall  be  when  he  lieth  down,  that  thou  shalt  mark 
the  place  where  he  shall  lie,  and  thou  shalt  go  in,  and  ||  un- 
cover his  feet,  and  lay  thee  down ;  and  he  will  tell  thee  what 
thou  shalt  do. 

5  And  she  said  unto  her,  All  that  thou  sayest  unto  me  I 
will  do. 

6  ^And  she  went  down  unto  the  floor,  and  did  according 
to  all  that  her  mother  in  law  bade  her. 

7  And  when  Bo'az  had  eaten  and  drunk,  and  "his  heart  was 
merry,  he  went  to  lie  down  at  the  end  of  the  heap  of  corn :  and 
she  came  softly,  and  uncovered  his  feet,  and  laid  her  down. 

8  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  at  midnight,  that  the  man  was  afraid, 
and  1 1  turned  himself:  and,  behold,  a  woman  lay  at  his  feet. 

9  And  he  said.  Who  art  thou  ?  And  she  answered,  I  am 
Ruth  thine  handmaid :  •'spread  therefore  thy  skirt  over  thine 
handmaid;  for  thou  art  jj'a  near  kinsman. 

10  And  he  said,  *Blessed  he  thou  of  the  Lord,  my  daugh- 
ter: jor  thou  hast  shewed  more  kindness  in  the  latter  end 
than  'at  the  beginning,  inasmuch  as  thou  foUowedst  not 
young  men,  whether  poor  or  rich. 

11  And  now,  my  daughter,  fear  not;  I  will  do  to  thee  all 
that  thou  requirest:  for  all  the  fcity  o^  ^  people  doth 
know  that  thou  art  *a  virtuous  woman. 

12  And  now  it  is  true  that  I  am  thy  'near  kinsman:  how- 
beit  ""there  is  a  kinsman  nearer  than  I. 

13  Tarry  this  night,  and  it  shall  be  in  the  morning,  that 
if  he  will  "perform  unto  thee  the  part  of  a  kinsman,  well;  let 
him  do  the  kinsman's  part :  but  if  he  will  not  do  the  part  of 
a  kinsman  to  thee,  then  will  I  do  the  part  of  a  kinsman  to 
thee,  "08  the  Lord  liveth :  lie  down  until  the  morning. 

14  ^And  she  lay  at  his  feet  until  the  morning:  and  she 
rose  up  before  one  could  know  another.  And  he  said, 
"Ijet  it  not  be  known  that  a  woman  came  into  the  floor. 

15  Also  he  said.  Bring  the  ||  veil  that  thou  hast  upon  thee, 
and  hold  it.  And  when  she  held  it,  he  measured  six  meas- 
ures of  barley,  and  laid  it  on  her :  and  she  went  into  the  city. 

16  And  when  she  came  to  her  mother  in  law,  she  said, 
Who  art  thou,  my  daughter  ?  And  she  told  her  all  that  the 
man  had  done  to  her. 

17  And  she  said,  These  six  measures  of  barley  gave  he  me ; 
for  he  said  to  me,  Go  not  empty  unto  thy  mother  in  law. 

18  Then  said  she,  «Sit  still,  my  daughter,  until  thou  know 


mother  in  law  with  whom  she  had  wrought,  and  said, 
The  man's   name    with  whom  I  wrought  to-day  is 

20  Bo'az.  And  Na-o'mi  said  unto  her  daughter  in  law. 
Blessed  be  he  of  the  Lord,  who  hath  not  left  off  his 
kindness  to  the  living  and  to  the  dead.  And  Na-o'mi 
said  unto  her.  The  man  is  nigh  of  kin  unto  us,  'one 

21  of  our  near  kinsmen.  And  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess  said, 
Yea,  he  said  unto  me.  Thou  shalt  keep  fast  by  my 
young  men,  until  they  have  ended  all  my  harvest. 

22  And  Na-o'mi  said  unto  Ruth  her  daughter  in  law,  It  is 
good,  my  daughter,  that  thou  go  out  with  his  maid- 
ens, and  that  they  meet  thee  not  in  any  other  field. 

23  So  she  kept  fa.st  by  the  maidens  of  Bo'az  to  glean 
unto  the  end  of  barley  harvest  and  of  wheat  harvest ; 
and  she  dwelt  with  her  mother  in  law. 

0  And  Na-o'mi  her  mother  in  law  said  unto  her.  My 
daughter,  shall  I  not  seek  ^rest  for  thee,  that  it  may 

2  be  well  with  thee  ?  And  now  is  there  not  Bo'az  our 
kinsman,  with  whose  maidens  thou  wast  ?  Behold, 
he  winnoweth  barley  to-night  in  the  threshing-floor. 

3  Wash  thyself  therefore,  and  anoint  thee,  and  put  thy 
raiment  upon  thee,  and  get  thee  down  to  the  thresh- 
ing-floor: but  make  not  thyself  known  unto  the 
man,  until  he  shall  have  done  eating  and  drinking. 

4  And  it  shall  be,  when  he  lieth  down,  that  thou  shalt 
mark  the  place  where  he  shall  lie,  and  thou  shalt  go 
in,  and  uncover  his  feet,  and  lay  thee  down ;  and  he 

5  will  tell  thee  what  thou  shalt  do.     And  she  said 

6  unto  her,  All  that  thou  'sayest  I  will  do.  And  she 
went  down  unto  the  threshing-floor,  and  did  accord- 

7  ing  to  all  that  her  mother  in  law  bade  her.  And 
when  Bo'az  had  eaten  and  drunk,  and  his  heart  was 
merry,  he  went  to  lie  down  at  the  end  of  the  heap 
of  corn:   and   she   came  softly,  and  uncovered  his 

8  feet,  and  laid  her  down.  And  it  came  to  pass  at 
midnight,  that  the  man  was  ^afraid,  and  turned  him- 

9  self:  and,  behold,  a  woman  lay  at  his  feet.  And  he 
said.  Who  art  thou?  And  she  answered,  I  am 
Ruth  thine  handmaid :  spread  therefore  thy  skirt 
over  thine   handmaid ;   for  thou   art  'a  near  kins- 

10 man.  And  he  said.  Blessed  be  thou  of  the  Lord, 
my  daughter:  thou  hast  shewed  more  kindness  in 
the  latter  end  than  at  the  beginning,  inasmuch  as 
thou  followedst  not   young   men,  whether  poor  or 

11  rich.  And  now,  my  daughter,  fear  not;  I  will  do 
to  thee  all  that  thou  sayest :  for  all  the  'city  of  my 
people  doth  know  that  thou  art  a  virtuous  woman 

12  And  now  it  is  true  that  I  am  a  near  kinsman  :  how- 

13  belt  there  is  a  kinsman  nearer  than  I.  Tarry  this 
night,  and  it  shall  be  in  the  morning,  that  if  he  will 
perform  unto  thee  the  part  of  a  kinsman,  well ;  let 
him  do  the  kinsman's  part:  but  if  he  will  not  do  the 
part  of  a  kinsman  to  thee,  then  will  I  do  the  part  of 
a  kinsman  to  thee,  as  the  Lord  liveth:  lie  down 

14  until  the  morning.  And  she  lay  at  his  feet  until 
the  morning:  and  she  rose  up  before  one  could 
discern  another.     For  he  said.  Let  it  not  be  known 

15  that  the  woman  came  to  the  threshing-floor.  And 
he  said.  Bring  the  mantle  that  is  upon  thee,  and  hold 
it ;  and  she  held  it :  and  he  measured  six  measures 
of  barley,  and  laid  it  on  her :  and  'he  went  into  the 

16  city.  And  when  she  came  to  her  mother  in  law,  she 
said,  *Who  art  thou,  my  daughter?     And  she  told 

17  her  all  that  the  man  had  done  to  her.  And  she  said, 
These  six   measures  of  barley  gave  he  me;    for  he 

18 'said.  Go  not  empty  unto  thy  mother  in  law.  Then 
said   she.  Sit  still,  my   daughter,  until  thou  know

how  the  matter  will  fall :  for  the  man  will  not  be  in  rest, 
until  he  have  finished  the  thing  this  day. 
CHAF'TER  IV. 

Boas  calleth  into  judgment  the  next  kinsman. 

THEN  went  Bo'az  up  to  the  gate,  and  sat  him  down 
there :  and,  behold,  "the  kinsman  of  whom  Bo'az  spake 
came  by ;  unto  whom  he  said.  Ho,  such  a  one !  turn  aside, 
sit  down  here.     And  he  turned  aside,  and  sat  down. 

2  And  he  took  ten  men  oi'  'the  elders  of  the  city,  and  said, 
Sit  ye  down  here.     And  they  sat  down. 

3  And  he  said  unto  the  kinsman,  Na-o'mi,  that  is  come  again 
out  of  the  country  of  Mo'ab,  selleth  a  parcel  of  land,  which 
was  our  brother  E-lim'e-lech's  : 

4  And  fl  thought  to  advertise  thee,  saying, ''Buy  t< ''before 
the  inhabitants,  and  before  the  elders  of  ray  people.  If  thou 
wilt  redeem  it,  redeem  it :  but  if  thou  wilt  not  redeem  it,  then 
tell  me,  that  I  may  know  :  ^for  the7-e  is  none  to  redeem  it  be- 
sides thee ;  and  I  am  after  thee.  And  he  said,  I  will  redeem  it. 

5  Then  said  Bo'az,  What  day  thou  buyest  the  field  of  the 
hand  of  Na-o'mi,  thou  must  buy  i<  also  of  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess, 
the  wife  of  the  dead,  -^to  raise  up  the  name  of  the  dead  upon 
his  inheritance. 

6  ^"And  the  kinsman  said,  I  can  not  redeem  it  for  myself, 
lest  I  mar  mine  own  inheritance  :  redeem  thou  my  right 
to  thyself;  for  I  can  not  redeem  it. 

7  ''Now  this  was  the  manner  in  former  time  in  Is'ra-el  con- 
cerning redeeming  and  concerning  changing,  for  to  confirm 
all  things ;  a  man  plucked  off  his  shoe,  and  gave  it  to  his 
neighbour  :  and  this  was  a  testimony  in  Is'ra-el. 

8  Therefore  the  kinsman  said  unto  Bo'az,  Buy  it  for  thee. 
So  he  drew  off  his  shoe. 

9  ^And  Bo'az  said  unto  the  elders,  and  unto  all  the  people. 
Ye  are  witnesses  this  day,  that  I  have  bought  all  that  wa^ 
E-lim'e-lech's,  and  all  that  was  Chil'i-on's  and  Mah'lon's,  of 
the  hand  of  Na-o'mi. 

10  Moreover  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess,  the  wife  of  Mah'lon, 
have  I  purchased  to  be  my  wife,  to  raise  up  the  name  of  the 
dead  upon  his  inheritance,  "that  the  name  of  the  dead  be 
not  cut  off  from  among  his  brethren,  and  from  the  gate  of 
his  place :  ye  are  witnesses  this  day. 

11  And  all  the  people  that  were  in  the  gate,  and  the 
elders,  said,  We  are  witnesses.  *The  Lord  make  the  woman 
that  is  come  into  thine  house  like  Ra'chel  and  like  Le'ah, 
which  two  did  'build  the  house  of  Is'ra-el;  and  ||do  thou 
worthily  iu  '"Eph'ra-tah  and  fbe  famous  in  Beth'-le-hem : 

12  And  let  thy  house  be  like  the  house  of  Pha'rez,  "whom 
Ta'mar  bare  unto  Ju'dah,  of  "the  seed  which  the  Lord  shall 
give  thee  of  this  young  woman. 

13  ^So  Bo'az  "took  Ruth,  and  she  was  his  wife  :  and  when 
he  went  in  unto  her,  'the  Lord  gave  her  conception,  and 
she  bare  a  son. 

14  And  ''the  women  said  unto  Na-o'mi,  Blessed  be  the  Lord, 
which  hath  not  fleft  thee  this  day  without  a  ||  kinsman, 
that  his  name  may  be  famous  in  Is'ra-el. 

15  And  he  shall  be  unto  thee  a  restorer  of  thy  life,  and  fa 
nourisherof  fthine  old  age:  for  thy  daughter  in  law,  which  lov- 
eththee,which  is 'better  to  thee  than  seven  sons,  hath bornehim. 

16  And  Na-o'mi  took  the  child,  and  laid  it  in  her  bosom, 
and  became  nurse  unto  it. 

17  'And  the  women  her  neighbours  gave  it  a  name,  say- 
ing, There  is  a  son  born  to  Na-o'mi ;  and  they  called  his  name 
O'bed  :  he  is  the  father  of  Jes'se,  the  father  of  Da'vid. 

18  ^Now  these  are  the  generations  of  Pha'rez:  "Pha'rez 
begat  Hez'ron, 

19  And  Hez'ron  begat  Ram,  and  Ram  begat  Am-min'a-dab, 

20  And  Am-min'a-dab  begat  ""Nah'shon,  and  Nah'shon  begat 
^ll  Sal'mon, 

21  And  Sal'mon  begat  Bo'az,  and  Bo'az  begat  O'bed, 

22  And  O'bed  begat  Jes'se,  and  Jes'se  begat  'Da'vid. 


how  the  matter  will  fall :  for  the  man  will  not  rest, 
until  he  have  finished  the  thing  this  day. 

^  Now  Bo'az  went  up  to  the  gate,  and  sat  him  down 
there  :  and,  behold,  the  'near  kinsman  of  whom  Bo'az 
spake  came  by;  unto  whom  he  said,  Ho,  such  a 
one!   turn   aside,  sit   down   here.     And  he   turned 

2  aside,  and  sat  down.  And  he  took  ten  men  of  the 
elders  of  the  city,  and  said.  Sit  ye  down  here.     And 

3  they  sat  down.  And  he  said  unto  the  near  kinsman, 
Na-o'mi,  that  is  come  again  out  of  the  country  of 
Mo'ab,  selleth  the   parcel   of  land,  which  was  our 

4 brother  E-lim'e-lech's:  and  I  thought  to  disclose  it 
unto  thee  saying,  Buy  it  before  them  that  sit  here, 
and  before  the  elders  of  my  people.  If  thou  wilt 
redeem  it,  redeem  it :  but  if  Hhou  wilt  not  redeem  it, 
then  tell  me,  that  I  may  know  :  for  there  is  none  to 
redeem  it  beside  thee ;  and  I  am  after  thee.     And 

5  he  said,  I  will  redeem  it.  Then  said  Bo'az,  What 
day  thou  buyest  the  field  of  the  hand  of  Na-o'mi, 
thou  must  buy  it  also  of  Ruth  the  Mo'ab-i-tess,  the 
wife  of  the  dead,  to  raise  up  the  name  of  the  dead 

6  upon  his  inheritance.  And  the  near  kinsman  said, 
I  can  not  redeem  it  for  myself,  lest  I  mar  mine  own 
inheritance :  take  thou   my  right  of  redemption  on 

7  thee ,  for  I  can  not  redeem  it.  Now  this  was  the 
custom  in  former  time  in  Is'ra-el  concerning  redeem- 
ing and  concerning  exchanging,  for  to  confirm  all 
things ;  a  man  drew  oft'  his  shoe,  and  gave  it  to  his 
neighbour :  and  this  was  the  manner  of  attestation 

8  in  Is'ra-el.     So  the  near  kinsman   said  unto  Bo'az, 

9  Buy  it  for  thyself.  And  he  drew  off  his  shoe.  And 
Bo'az  said  unto  the  elders,  and  unto  all  the  people, 
Ye  are  witnesses  this  day,  that  I  have  bought  all 
that  was  E-lim'e-lech's,and  all  that  was  Chil'i-on's  and 

10  Mah'lon's,  of  the  hand  of  Na-o'mi.  Moreover  Ruth 
the  Mo'ab-i-tess,  the  wife  of  Mah'lon,  have  I  purchased 
to  be  my  wife,  to  raise  up  the  name  of  the  dead  upon 
his  inheritance,  that  the  name  of  the  dead  be  not  cut 
off  from  among  his  brethren,  and  from  the  gate  of 

11  his  place:  ye  are  witnesses  this  day.     And  all  the 

?eople  that  were  in  the  gate,  and  the  elders,  said, 
Ve  are  witnesses.  The  Lord  make  the  woman 
that  is  come  into  thine  house  like  Ra'chel,  and  like 
Le'ah,  which  two  did  build  the  house  of  Is'ra-el :  and 
■•do  thou  worthily  in  Eph'ra-thah,  and  be  famous  in 

12  Beth'-le-hem  :  and  let  thy  house  be  like  the  house  of 
Pe'rez,  whom  Ta'mar  bare  unto  Ju'dah,  of  the  seed 
which  the  Lord  shall  give  thee  of  this  young  woman. 

13  So  Bo'az  took  Ruth,  and  she  became  his  wife ;  and 
he  went  in  unto  her,  and  the  Lord  gave  her  concep- 

14  tion,  and  she  bare  a  son.  And  the  women  said  unto 
Na-o'mi,  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  which  hath  not  left 
thee  this  day  without  a  near  kinsman,  and  let  his 

15  name  be  famous  in  Is'ra-el.  And  he  shall  be  unto 
thee  a  restorer  of  life,  and  a  nourisher  of  thine  old 
age:  for  thy  daughter  in  law,  which  loveth  thee, 
which  is  better  to  thee  than  seven  sons,  hath  borne 

16  him.     And  Na-o'mi  took  the  child,  and  laid  it  in  her 

17  bosom,  and  became  nurse  unto  it.  And  the  women 
her  neighbours  gave  it  a  name,  saying,  There  is  a 
son  born  to  Na-o'mi;  and  they  called  his  name 
O'bed :  he  is  the  father  of  ^Jes'se,  the  father  of  Da'vid. 

18  Now  these  are  the  generations  of  Pe'rez: 
19 Pe'rez  begat  Hez'ron;  and  Hez'ron  begat  Ram,  and 
20 Ram  begat  Am-min'a-dab;  and  Am-min'a-dab  begat 

21  Nah'shon,  and  Nah'shon  begat  ^Sal'mon ;  and  Sal'mon 

22  begat  Bo'az,  and  Bo'az  begat  O'bed ;  and  O'bed  begat 
Jes'se,  and  Jes'se  begat  Da'vid.

CHAPTER  I, 

ffannah,  having  borne  Samuel,  presenteth  him  to  the  Lord. 

TyrrOW  there  was  a  certain  man  of  Ra-ma-tha'im-zo'phim, 
i-N  of  mount  E'phra  i'.n,  and  his  name  was  °El'ka-nah,  the 
son  of  Jer'o-ham,  the  son  of  E-li'hu,  the  son  of  To'hu,  the 
son  of  Zuph,  'an  Eph'rath-ite : 

2  And  he  had  two  wives;  the  name  of  the  one  was 
Han'nah,  and  the  name  of  the  other  Pe-nin'nah :  and  Pe-nin'- 
nah  had  children,  but  Han'nah  had  no  children. 

3  And  this  man  went  up  out  of  his  city  "fyearly,  ''to 
worship  and  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Loed  of  hosts  in  ^Shi'loh. 
And  the  two  sons  of  E'li,  Hoph'ni  and  Phin'e-has,  the  priests 
of  the  LoKD,  were  there. 

4  ^And  when  the  time  was  that  El'ka-nah  -^offered,  he 
gave  to  Pe-nin'nah  his  wife,  and  to  all  her  sons  and  her 
daughters,  portions. 

5  But  unto  Han'nah  he  gave  ||a  worthy  portion;  for  he 
loved  Han'nah :  "but  the  Lord  had  shut  up  her  womb. 

6  And  her  adversary  also  t*provoked  her  sore,  for  to 
make  her  fret,  because  the  Loed  had.  shut  up  her  womb. 

7  And  as  he  did  so  year  by  year,  ||  fwhen  she  went  up  to 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  so  she  provoked  her ;  therefore  she 
wept,  and  did  not  eat. 

8  Then  said  El'ka-nah  her  husband  to  her,  Han'nah,  why 
weepest  thou  ?  and  why  eatest  thou  not  ?  and  why  is  thy 
heart  grieved  ?  am  not  I  "better  to  thee  than  ten  sons  ? 

9  T[So  Han'nah  rose  up  after  they  had  eaten  in  Shi'loh,  and 
after  they  had  drunk.  Now  E'li  the  priest  sat  upon  a  seat 
by  a  post  of  *the  temple  of  the  Loed. 

10  'And  she  was  fin  bitterness  of  soul,  and  prayed  unto 
the  Lord,  and  wept  sore. 

11  And  she  "vowed  a  vow,  and  said,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  if 
thou  wilt  indeed  "look  on  the  affliction  of  thine  handmaid, 
and  "remember  me,  and  not  forget  thine  handmaid,  but  wilt 
give  unto  thine  handmaid  fa  nian  child,  then  I  will  give 
him  unto  the  Lord  all  the  days  of  his  life,  and  "thire  shall 
no  razor  come  upon  his  head. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  she  f  con  tinned  praying  before 
the  Lord,  that  E'li  marked  her  mouth. 

13  Now  Han'nah,  she  spake  in  her  heart ;  only  her  lips 
moved,  but  her  voice  was  not  heard :  therefore  E'li  thought 
she  had  been  drunken. 

14  And  E'li  said  unto  her.  How  long  wilt  thou  be  drunken? 
put  away  thy  wine  from  thee. 

15  And  Han'nan  a.  .swered  and  said,  No,  my  lord,  I  am 
a  woman  fof  a  sorrowful  spirit:  I  have  drunk  neither 
wine  nor  strong  drink,  but  have  'poured  out  my  soul  before 
the  Lord. 

16  Count  not  thine  handmaid  for  a  daughter  of  ""Be'li-al : 
for  out  of  the  abundance  of  my  ||  complaint  and  grief  have 
I  spoken  hitherto. 

17  Then  E'li  answered  and  said,  "Go  in  peace  :  and  'the  God 
of  Is'ra-el  grant  thee  thy  petition  that  thou  hast  asked  of  him. 

18  And  she  said,  "Let  thine  handmaid  find  grace  in  thy 
sight.  So  the  woman  "'went  her  way,  and  did  eat,  and  her 
countenance  was  no  more  sad. 

19  ^And  tlicy  ro.se  up  in  the  morning  early,  and  wor- 
shipped before  I  he  Lord,  and  returned,  and  came  to  their 
house  to  Ita'niali :  aiuJ  El'ka-nah  "knew  Han'nah  his  wife; 
and  'the  Lok.)  iTiiicml)ercd  her.

1171. 


J-     Now  there  was  a  certain  man  of  Ea-ma-tha'im 
zo'phim,  of  the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im,and  his  name 
was  El'ka-nah,  the  son  of  Jer'o-ham,  the  son  of  E-li'hu, 
the  son  of  To'hu,  the  son  of  Zuph,  an  E'phra-im-ite : 

2  and  he  had  two  wives ;  the  name  of  the  one  was 
Han'nah,  and  the  name  of  the  other  Pe-nin'nah  :  and 
Pe-nin'nah  had  children,  but  Han'nah  had  no  chil- 

Sdren.  And  this  man  went  up  out  of  his  city  from 
year  to  year  to  worship  and  to  sacrifice  unto  the 
Lord  of  hosts  in  Shi'loh.  And  the  two  sor.o  of  E'li, 
Hoph'ni  and  Phin'e-has,  priests  unto  the  Lord,  were 

4  there.  And  when  the  day  came  that  El'ka-nah  sacri- 
ficed, he  gave  to  Pe-nin'nah  his  wife,  and  to  all  her 

5  sons  and  her  daughters,  portions :  but  unto  Han'nah 
he  gave  'a  double  portion :    for  he  loved  Han'nah, 

6  but  the  Lord  had  shut  up  her  womb.  And  her 
rival  provoked  her  sore,  for  to  make  her  fret,  because 

7  the  Lord  had  shut  up  her  womb.  And  as  he  did 
so  year  by  year,  when  she  went  up  to  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  so  she  provoked  her ;  therefore  she  wept, 

Sand  did  not  eat.  And  El'ka-nah  her  husband  said 
unto  her,  Han'nah,  why  weepest  thou?  and  why 
eatest  thou  not  ?  and  why  is  thy  heart  grieved  ?  am 

9 not  I  better  to  thee  than  ten  sons?  So  Hau'nah 
rose  up  after  they  had  eaten  at  Shi'loh,  and  after  they 
had  drunk.     Now  E'li  the  priest  sat  upon  his  seat  by 

10  the  door  post  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord.  And  she 
was  in  bitterness  of  soul,  and  prayed  unto  the  Lord, 

11  and  wept  sore.  And  she  vowed  a  vow,  and  said,  O 
Lord  of  hosts,  if  thou  wilt  indeed  look  on  the  afflic- 
tion of  thine  handmaid,  and  remember  me,  and  not 
forget  thine  handmaid,  but  will  give  unto  thine  hand- 
maid ^a  man  child,  then  I  will  give  him  unto  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  his  life,  and  there  shall  no 

12  razor  come  upon  his  head.  And  it  came  to  pas.s,  as 
she  continued  praying  before  the  Lord,  that  E'li 

13  marked  her  mouth.  Now  Han'nah,  she  spake  in  her 
heart ;  only  her  lips  moved,  but  her  voice  was  not 
heard :  therefore  E'li  thought  she  had  been  drunken. 

14  And  E'li  said   unto  her.  How  long  wilt   thou  be 
15 drunken?  put  away  thy  wine  from  thee.  And  Han'- 
nah answered  and  said.  No,  my  lord,  I  am  a  woman 
of  a  sorrowful  spirit :  I  have  drunk  neither  wine  nor 
strong  drink,  but  I  poured  out  my  soul  before  the 

16  Lord.  Count  not  thine  handmaid  lor  ^a  daughter 
of  *Be'li-al :  for  out  of  the  abundance  of  my  com- 
plaint and  my  provocation  have  I  spoken  hitherto. 

17 Then  E'li  answered  and  said.  Go  in  peace:  and  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el  grant  thy  petition  that  thou   hast 

18  asked  of  him.  And  she  said,  Let  thy  servant  find 
grace  in  thy  sight.  So  the  woman  went  her  way, 
and   did   eat,    and    her    countenance    was   no   more 

19  sad.  And  they  rose  up  in  the  morning  early,  and 
worshipped  before  the  Lord,  and  returned,  and 
came  to  their  house  to  Ra'mah :  and  El'ka-nah  knew 
Han'nah  his  wife;  and  the  Lord  remembered  her.

20  Wherefore  it  came  to  pass,  fwhen  the  time  was  come 
about  after  Han'nah  had  conceived,  that  she  bare  a  son,  and 
called  his  name  ||  Sam'uel,  saying,  Because  I  have  asked  him 
of  the  LoED. 

21  And  the  man  El'ka-nah,  and  all  his  house,  "went  up  to 
offer  unto  the  Lord  the  yearly  sacrifice,  and  his  vow. 

22  But  Han'nah  went  not  up;  for  she  said  unto  her  hus- 
band, I  will  not  go  up  until  the  child  be  weaned,  and  then  I 
will  'bring  him,  that  he  may  appear  before  the  Lord,  and 
there  ''abide  ''for  ever. 

23  And  *El'ka-nah  her  husband  said  unto  her.  Do  what 
seemeth  thee  good ;  tarry  until  thou  have  weaned  him ; 
■^only  the  Lord  establish  his  word.  So  the  woman  abode, 
and  gave  her  son  suck  until  she  weaned  him. 

24  "^fAnd  when  she  had  weaned  him,  she  "took  him  up 
with  her,  with  three  bullocks,  and  one  ephah  of  flour,  and  a 
bottle  of  wine,  and  brought  him  unto  ''the  house  of  the  Lord 
in  Shi'loh :  and  the  child  was  young. 

25  And  they  slew  a  bullock,  and  'brought  the  child 
to  E'li. 

26  And  she  said,  O  my  lord,  *as  thy  soul  liveth,  my  lord, 
I  am  the  woman  that  stood  by  thee  here,  praying  unto 
the  Lord. 

27  'For  this  child  I  prayed;  and  the  Lord  hath  given  me 
my  petition  which  I  asked  of  him : 

28  "Therefore  also  I  have  H  lent  him  to  the  Lord  ;  as  long  as 
he  liveth  ||  he  shall  be  lent  to  the  Lord.  And  he  "worshipped 
the  Lord  there. 

CHAPTER  II. 

Hannah's  song-  of  thankfulness — The  sin  of  ElVs  sons. 

AND  Han'nah  "prayed,  and  said,  ''My  heart  rejoiceth  in 
the  Lord,  ''mine  horn  is  exalted  in  the  Lord  ;  my  mouth 
is  enlarged  over  mine  enemies;  because  I  ''rejoice  in  thy 
salvation. 

2  'There  is  none  holy  as  the  Lord:  for  there  is -^none  be- 
sides thee  :   neither  is  there  any  rock  like  our  God. 

3  Talk  no  more  so  exceeding  proudly ;  'let  not  farrogancy 
come  out  of  your  mouth :  for  the  Lord  is  a  God  of  knowl- 
edge, and  by  him  actions  are  weighed. 

4  ''The  bows  of  the  mighty  men  are  broken,  and  they  that 
stumbled  are  girded  with  strength. 

5  'They  that  were  full  have  hired  out  themselves  for 
bread ;  and  they  that  were  hungry  ceased :  so  that  *the 
barren  hath  borne  seven ;  and  'she  that  hath  many  children 
is  waxed  feeble. 

6  "The  Lord  killeth,  and  maketh  alive :  he  bringeth  down 
to  the  grave,  and  bringeth  up. 

7  The  Lord  "maketh  poor,  and  maketh  rich:  "he  bring- 
eth low,  and  lifteth  up. 

8  "He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out  of  the  dust,  and  lifteth  up 
the  beggar  from  the  dunghill,  "to  set  them  among  princes, 
and  to  make  them  inherit  the  throne  of  glory  :  for  ""the 
pillars  of  the  earth  are  the  Lord's,  and  he  hath  set  the 
world  upon  them. 

9  'He  will  keep  the  feet  of  his  saints,  and  the  wicked 
shall  be  silent  in  darkness;  for  by  strength  shall  no  man 
prevail. 

10  The  adversaries  of  the  Lord  shall  be  'broken  to 
pieces ;  "out  of  heaven  shall  he  thunder  upon  them  :  'the 
Lord  shall  judge  the  ends  of  the  earth;  and  he  shall 
give  strength  unto  his  king,  and  "exalt  the  horn  of  his 
anointed. 

1 1  And  El'ka-nah  went  to  Ra'mah  to  his  house.  'And  the 
child  did  minister  unto  the  Lord  before  E'li  the  priest. 


20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  time  was  come  about, 
that  Han'nah  conceived,  and  bare  a  son ;  and  she 
called  his  name  Sam'u-el,  saying,  Because  I  have  asked 

21  him  of  the  Lord.  And  the  man  El'ka-nah,  and  all 
his  house,  went  up  to  offer  unto  the  Lord  the  yearly 

22  sacrifice,  and  his  vow.  But  Han'nah  went  not  up ; 
for  she  said  unto  her  husband,  I  will  not  go  up  until 
the  child  be  weaned,  and  then  I  will  bring  him,  that 
he  may  appear  before  the  Lord,  and  there  abide  for 

23  ever.  And  El'ka-nah  her  husband  said  unto  her, 
Do  what  seemeth  thee  good;  tarry  until  thou  have 
weaned  him;  only  the  Lord  establish  his  word.  So 
the  woman  tarried  and  gave  her  son  suck,  until  she 

24  weaned  him.  And  when  she  had  weaned  him,  she 
took  him  up  with  her,  with  'three  bullocks,  and  one 
ephah  of  meal,  and  a  ^bottle  of  wine,  and  brought  him 
unto  the  house  of  the  Lord  in  Shi'loh:  and  the  child 

25  was  young.    And  they  slew  the  bullock,  and  brought 

26  the  child  to  E'li.  And  she  said.  Oh  my  lord,  as  thy 
soul  liveth,  my  lord,  I  am  the  woman  that  stood  by 

27  thee  here,  praying  unto  the  Lord.  For  this  child 
I  prayed ;  and  the  Lord  hath  given  me  my  peti 

28tion  which  I  asked  of  him:  therefore  I  also  have 
'granted  him  to  the  Lord;  as  long  as  he  liveth  he 
is  granted  to  the  Lord.  And  ^he  worshipped  the 
Lord  there. 

^      And  Han'nak  prayed,  and  said: 
My  heart  exulteth  in  the  Lord, 
Mine  horn  is  exalted  in  the  Lord: 
My  mouth  is  enlarged  over  mine  enemies; 
Because  I  rejoice  in  thy  salvation. 

2  There  is  none  holy  as  the  Lord  ; 
For  there  is  none  beside  thee : 
Neither  is  there  any  rock  like  our  God. 

3  Talk  no  more  so  exceeding  proudly ; 

Let  not  arrogancy  come  out  of  your  mouth : 
For  the  Lord  is  a  God  of  knowledge, 
'And  by  him  actions  are  weighed. 

4  The  bows  of  the  mighty  men  are  broken. 

And  they  that  stumbled  are  girded  with  strength 

5  They  that  were  full  have  hired  out  themselves  for 

bread ; 
And  they  that  were  hungry  *have  ceased : 
Yea,  the  barren  hath  borne  .seven ; 
And  she  that  hath  many  children  languisheth. 

6  The  Lord  killeth,  and  maketh  alive: 

He  bringeth  down  to  "the  grave,  and  bringeth  up. 

7  The  Lord  maketh  poor,  and  maketh  rich: 
He  bringeth  low,  he  also  lifteth  up. 

8  He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out  of  the  dust, 
He  lifteth  up  the  needy  from  the  dunghill, 
To  make  them  sit  with  princes. 

And  inherit  the  throne  of  glory : 

For  the  pillars  of  the  earth  are  the  Lord's, 

And  he  hath  set  the  world  upon  them. 

9  He  will  keep  the  feet  of  his  *holy  ones. 

But  the  wicked  shall  be  put  to  silence  in  darkness ; 
For  by  strength  shall  no  man  prevail. 

10  They  that  strive  with  the  Lord  shall  be  broken  to 

pieces ; 
Against  them  shall  be  thunder  in  heaven: 
The  Lord  shall  judge  the  ends  of  the  earth ; 
And  he  shall  give  strength  unto  his  king, 
And  exalt  the  horn  of  his  anointed. 

11  And  El'ka-nah  went  to  Ra'mah  to  his  house.  And 
the  child  did  minister  unto  the  Lord  before  E'li 
the  priest.

12  ITNow  the  sons  of  Eli  were  "sons  of  Be'li-alj  Hhey 
knew  not  the  Loed. 

13  And  the  priest's  custom  with  the  people  was,  that,  when 
any  man  offered  sacrifice,  the  priest's  servant  came,  while 
the  flesh  was  in  seething,  with  a  fleshhook  of  three  teeth  in 
his  hand ; 

14  And  he  struck  it  into  the  pan,  or  kettle,  or  caldron,  or 
pot;  all  that  the  fleshhook  brought  up  the  priest  took  for 
himself.  So  they  did  in  Shi'loh  unto  all  the  Is'ra-el-ites 
that  came  thither. 

15  Also  before  they  "burnt  the  fat,  the  priest's  servant  came, 
and  said  to  the  man  that  sacrificed,  Give  flesh  to  roast  for  the 
priest ;  for  he  will  not  have  sodden  flesh  of  thee,  but  raw. 

16  And  if  any  man  said  unto  him.  Let  them  not  fail  to  burn 
the  fat  tpresently,  and  then  take  as  much  as  thy  soul  desireth ; 
then  he  would  answer  him.  Nay ;  but  thou  shalt  give  it  me 
now :  and  if  not,  I  will  take  it  by  force. 

17  Wherefore  the  sin  of  the  young  men  was  very  great 
"^before  the  Lokd  :  for  men  'abhorred  the  offering  of  the  Lord. 

18  ^-^But  Sam'u-el  ministered  before  the  Loed,  being  a 
child,  "girded  with  a  linen  ephod. 

19  Moreover  his  mother  made  him  a  little  coat,  and  brought 
it  to  him  from  year  to  year,  when  she  *came  up  with  her 
husband,  to  offer  the  yearly  sacrifice. 

20  ^And  E'li  ^blessed  El'ka-nah  and  his  wife,  and  said,  The 
Loed  give  thee  seed  of  this  woman  .for  the  ||  loan  which  is 
'lent  to  the  Loed.     And  they  went  unto  their  own  home. 

21  And  the  Loed  "visited  Han'nah,  so  that  she  conceived, 
and  bare  three  sons  and  two  daughters.  And  the  child 
Sam'u-el  "grew  before  the  Loed. 

22  ^Now  E'li  was  very  old,  and  heard  all  that  his  sons 
did  unto  all  Is'ra-el ;  and  how  they  lay  with  "the  women 
that  fassembled  at  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them,  Why  do  ye  such  things?  for  ||  I 
hear  of  your  evil  dealings  by  all  this  people. 

24  Nay,  my  sons ;  for  it  is  no  good  report  that  I  hear :  ye 
make  the  Loed's  people  ||  to  transgress. 

25  If  one  man  sin  against  another,  the  judge  shall  judge 
him :  but  if  a  man  ^sin  against  the  Loed,  who  shall  entreat 
for  him?  Notwithstanding,  they  hearkened  not  unto  the 
voice  of  their  father,  'because  the  Loed  would  slay  them. 

26  And  the  child  Sam'u-el  'grew  on,  and  was  'in  favour 
both  with  the  Lord,  and  also  with  men. 

27  ^'And  there  came  a  man  of  God  unto  E'li,  and  said 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Loed,  "Did  I  plainly  appear  unto 
the  house  of  thy  &ther,  when  they  were  in  E'gypt  in  Pha'- 
raoh's  house? 

28  And  did  I  *choose  him  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to 
be  my  priest,  to  offer  upon  mine  altar,  to  burn  incense,  to 
wear  an  ephod  before  me  ?  and  "did  I  give  unto  the  house 
of  thy  father  all  the  offerings  made  by  fire  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el. 

29  Wherefore  ^kick  ye  at  my  sacrifice  and  at  mine  offering, 
which  I  have  commanded  in  my  "habitation ;  and  honourest 
thy  sons  above  me,  to  make  yourselves  fat  with  the  chiefest 
of  all  the  offerings  of  Is'ra-el  my  people  ? 

30  Wherefore  the  Loed  God  of  Is'ra-el  saith,  ''I  said  indeed 
that  thy  house,  and  the  house  of  thy  father,  should  walk 
before  me  for  ever :  but  now  the  Loed  saith,  ""Be  it  far  from 
me ;  for  them  that  honour  me  ''I  will  honour,  and  'they  that 
despise  me  shall  be  lightly  esteemed. 

31  Behold,  -the  days  come,  that  I  will  cut  off  thine  arm, 
and  the  arm  of  thy  father's  house,  that  there  shall  not  be  an

12  Now  the  sons  of  E'li  were  ^sons  of  ^'Be'li-al  |  ^hey 

13  knew  not  the  Loed.  And  the  custom  of  the  priests 
with  the  people  was,  that,  when  any  man  offered 
sacrifice,  the  priest's  servant  came,  while  the  flesh 
was  in  seething,  with  a  fleshhook  of  three  teeth  in 

14 his  hand;  and  he  struck  it  into  the  pan,  or  kettle,  or 
caldron,  or  pot;  all  that  the  fleshhook  brought  up 
the  priest  took  ■'therewith.     So  they  did  in  Shi'loh 

1 5  unto  all  the  Is'ra-el-ites  that  came  thither.  Yea,  be- 
fore they  burnt  the  fat,  the  priest's  servant  came, 
and  said  to  the  n;an  that  sacrificed,  Give  flesh  to 
roast  for  the  priest;  for  he  will  not  have  sodden  flesh 

16  of  thee,  but  raw.  And  if  the  man  said  unto  him, 
They  will  surely  burn  the  fat  ^presently,  and  then 
take  as  much  as  thy  soul  desireth ;  then  'he  would 
say,  Nay,  but  thou  shalt  give  it  me  now :  and  if  not, 

17 1  will  take  it  by  force.  And  the  sin  of  the  young 
men  was  very  great  before  the  Loed  :  for  'men  ab- 
horred the  offering  of  the  Loed. 

18  But  Sam'u-el  ministered  before  the  Loed,  being  a 

19  child,  girded  with  a  linen  ephod.  Moreover  his 
mother  made  him  a  little  robe,  and  brought  it  to 
him  from  year  to  year,  when  she  came  up  with  her 

20  husband  to  offer  the  yearly  sacrifice.  And  E'li 
blessed  El'ka-nah  and  his  wife,  and  said.  The  Loed 
give  thee  seed  of  this  woman  *for  the  loan  which 
was  lent  to  the  Loed.     And  they  went  unto  their  »or,/or 

21  own  home.     *And  the  Loed  visited  Han'nah,  and  ffe/^*" 
she  conceived,  and  bare  three  sons  and  two  daughters.  "«""* 
And  the  child  Sam'u-el  grew  before  the  Loed.  "fSfhe 

22  Now  E'li  was  very  old ;  and  he  heard  all  that  his  ^""^ 
sons  did  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  and  how  that  they  lay  with  " H^b. 
the  women  that  '"did  service  at  the  door  of  the  tent  ^^^^ 

23  of  meeting.     And  he  said  unto  them.  Why  do  ye  >»seeEx. 
such  things?  for  I  hear  of  your  evil  dealings  from  '"'^^■'" 

24 all  this  people.  Nay,  my  sons;  for  it  is  no  good 
report  "that  I  hear :  ye  make  the  Loed's  people  to 

25  transgress.  If  one  man  sin  against  another,  '^God 
shall  judge  him :  but  if  a  man  sin  against  the  Lord, 
who  shall  intreat  for  him?  Notwithstanding  they 
hearkened  not  unto  the  voice  of  their  father,  because 

26  the  Lord  would  slay  them.  And  the  child  Sam'u-el 
grew  on,  and  was  in  favour  both  with  the  Lord,  and 
also  with  men. 

27  And  there  came  a  man  of  God  unto  E'li,  and  said 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Did  I  reveal  myself 
unto  the  house  of  thy   father,  when  they  were  in 

28  E'gypt  ^Hn  bondage  to  Pha'raoh's  house  ?  "And  did 
I  choose  him  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  be  my 
priest,  to  '%o  up  unto  mine  altar,  to  burn  incense, 
to  wear  an  ephod  before  me  ?  "and  did  I  give  unto 
the  house  of  thy  father  all  the  offerings  of  the  chil- 

29  dren  of  Is'ra-el  made  by  fire  ?  Wherefore  "kick  ye 
at  my  sacrifice  and  at  mine  offering,  which  I  have 
commanded  in  my  habitation ;  and  honourest  thy  sons 
above  me,  to  make  yourselves  fat  with  the  chiefest 

30  of  all  the  offerings  of  Is'ra-el  my  people  ?  Therefore 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  saith,  I  said  indeed 
that  thy  house,  and  the  house  of  thy  father,  should 
walk  before  me  for  ever:  but  now  the  Lord  saith, 
Be  it  far  from  me;  for  them  that  honour  me  I  will 
honour,  and  they  that  despise  me   shall  be  lightly 

31  esteemed.  Behold,  the  days  come,  that  I  will  cut  off 
thine  arm,  and  the  arm  of  thy  father's  house,  that 

32  there  shall  not  be  an  old  man  in  thine  house.  And 
thou  shalt  behold  ''the  aflliction  of  my  habitation,  in 
all  the  wealth  which  God  shall  give  Is'ra-el :  and  there 
shall  not   be  an  old  man  in  thine  house  for  ever.

CHAPTER  III. 

ffow  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  first  revealed  to  Samuel, 

AND  "the  child  Sam'u-el  mini.stered  unto  the  LoED  before 
E'li.     And  ""the  word  of  the  Lord  was  precious  in  those 
days;  there  teas  no  open  vision. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  at  thattime,when  E'li  was  laid  down  in 
hisplace,"andhis  eyes  began  to  wax  dim,that]xe  could  not  see; 

3  And  ere  ''the  lamp  of  God  went  out  'in  the  temple  of  the 
Lord,  where  the  ark  of  God  was,  and  Sam'u-el  was  laid 
down  to  sleep; 

4  That  the  Lord  called  Sam'u-el:  andheanswered,HereamI. 

5  And  he  ran  unto  E'li,  and  said.  Here  am  I;  for  thou 
calledst  me.  And  he  said,  I  called  not;  lie  down  again. 
And  he  went  and  lay  down. 

6  And  the  Lord  called  yet  again,  Sam'u-el.  And  Sam'u-el 
arose  and  went  to  E'li,  and  said,  Here  am  I ;  for  thou  didst  call 
me.     And  he  answered,  I  called  not,  my  son ;  lie  down  again. 

7  II  Now  Sam'u-el  -^did  not  yet  know  the  Lord,  neither  was 
the  word  of  the  Lord  yet  revealed  unto  him. 

8  And  the  Lord  called  Sam'u-el  again  the  third  time.  And 
he  arose  and  went  to  E'li,  and  said,  Here  am  I;  for  thou  didst 
call  me.  And  E'li  perceived  thatthe  LoRDhad called thechild. 

9  Therefore  E'li  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  Go,  lie  down :  and  itshall 
be,  if  he  call  thee,  that  thou  shalt  say,  Speak,  Lord  ;  for  thy 
servant  heareth.  So  Sam'u-el  went  and  lay  down  in  his  place. 

10  And  the  Lord  came,  and  stood,  and  called  as  at  other 
times, Sam'u-el,  Sam'u-el.  Then  Sam'u-el  answered,  Speak; 
for  thy  servant  heareth. 

11  ^And  the  Lord  said  to  Sam'u-el,  Behold,  I  will  do  a 
thing  in  Is'ra-el,  "at  which  both  the  ears  of  every  one  that 
heareth  it  shall  tingle. 

12  In  that  day  I  will  perform  against  E'li  *all  things  Avhich 
I  have  spoken  concerning  his  house :  fwhen  I  begin,  I  will 
also  make  an  end. 

13  II 'For  I  have  told  him  that  I  will  *judge  his  house 
for  ever  for  the  iniquity  which  he  knoweth;  because  'his 
sons  made  themselves  ||vile,  and  he  f^restrained  them  not. 

14  And  therefore  I  have  sworn  unto  the  house  of  E'li, 
that  the  iniquity  of  E'li's  house  "shall  not  be  purged  with 
sacrifice  nor  oflering  for  ever. 

15  ^And  Sam'u-el  lay  until  the  morning,  and  opened  the 
doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  Sam'u-el  feared  to  shew 
E'li  the  vision. 

16  Then  E'li  called  Sam'u-el,  and  said,  Sam'u-el,  my  son. 
And  he  answered.  Here  am  I. 

17  And  he  said.  What  is  the  thing  that  the  Lord  hath 
said  unto  thee?  I  pray  thee  hide  it  not  from  me :  "God  do 
so  to  thee,  and  fmore  also,  if  thou  hide  any  ||  thing  from 
me  of  all  the  things  that  he  said  unto  thee. 

18  And  Sam'u-el  told  him  fevery  whit,  and  hid  nothing 
from  him.  And  he  said,  "It  is  the  Lord  :  let  him  do  what 
seemeth  him  good. 

19  ^And  Sam'u-el  'grew,  and  ""the  Lord  was  with  him, 
'and  did  let  none  of  his  words  fall  to  the  ground. 


mine  altar,  shaU  be  to  consume  thine  eyes,  and  to 
grieve  thine   heart:  and  all  the   increase  of  thine 

34  house  shall  die  'in  the  flower  of  their  age.  And 
this  shall  be  the  sign  unto  thee,  that  shall  come 
upon  thy  two  sons,  on  Hoph'ni  and  Phin'e-has;  in 

35  one  day  they  shall  die  both  of  them.  And  I  will 
raise  me  up  a  faithful  priest,  that  shall  do  according 
to  that  which  is  in  mine  heart  and  in  my  mind : 
and  I  will  build  him  a  sure  house;  and  he  shall 

36  walk  before  mine  anointed  for  ever.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  every  one  that  is  left  in  thine 
house  shall  come  and  bow  down  to  him  for  a  piece 
of  silver  and  a  loaf  of  bread,  and  shall  say.  Put  me, 
I  pray  thee,  into  one  of  the  priests'  offices,  that  I 
may  eat  a  morsel  of  bread. 

O  And  the  child  Sam'u-el  ministered  unto  the  Lord 
before  E'li.  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  ^pre- 
cious in  those   days;    there   was   no  ^open  vision. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time,  when  E'li  was  laid 
down  in  his  place,  (now  his  eyes  had  begun  to  wax 

3  dim,  that  he  could  not  see,)  and  the  lamp  of  God 
was  not  yet  gone  out,  and  Sam'u-el  was  laid  down  to 
sleep,  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  where  the  ark  of 

4 God  was;  that  the  Lord  called  Sam'u-el:  and  he 

5  said,  Here  am  I.  And  he  ran  unto  E'li,  and  said. 
Here  am  I;  for  thou  calledst  me.  And  he  said,  I 
called  not;  lie  down  again.     And  he  went  and  lay 

6  down.  And  the  Lord  called  yet  again,  Sam'u-el. 
And  Sam'u-el  arose  and  went  to  E'li,  and  said.  Here 
am  I;  for  thou  calledst  me.     And   he   ansAvered,  I 

7  called  not,  my  son ;  lie  down  again.  Now  Sam'u-el 
did  not  yet  know  the  Lord,  neither  was  the  word  of 

8  the  Lord  yet  revealed  unto  him.  And  the  Lord 
called  Sam'u-el  again  the  third  time.  And  he  arose 
and  Trent  to  E'li,  and  said.  Here  am  I;  for  thou 
calledst  me.     And  E'li  perceived  that  the  Lord  had 

9  called  the  child.  Therefore  E'li  said  unto  Sam'u-el, 
Go,  lie  down  :  and  it  shall  be,  if  he  call  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  say.  Speak,   Lord;    for  thy  servant  heareth. 

10  So  Sam'u-el  went  and  lay  down  in  his  place.  And 
the  Lord  came,  and  stood,  and  called  as  at  other 
times,  Sam'u-el,  Sam'u-el.  Then  Sam'u-el  said.  Speak ; 

1 1  for  thy  servant  heareth.  And  the  Lord  said  to 
Sam'u-el,  Behold,  I  will  do  a  thing  in  Is'ra-el,  at  which 
both  the  ears  of  every  one  that  heareth  it  shall  tin- 

12gle.  In  that  day  I  will  perform  against  E'li  all  that 
I  have  spoken  concerning  his  house,  from  the  begin- 

13ning  even  unto  the  end.  For  I  have  told  him  that 
I  will  judge  his  house  for  ever,  for  the  iniquity  which 
he  knew,  because  his  sons  ''did  bring  a  curse  upon 

14  themselves,  and  he  restrained  them  not.  And  there- 
fore I  have  sworn  unto  the  house  of  E'li,  that  the 
iniquity  of  E'li's  house  shall  not   be  ''purged   with 

15  sacrifice  nor  offering  for  ever.  And  Sam'u-el  lay 
until  the  morning,  and  opened  the  doors  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord.     And  Sam'u-el  feared  to  shew 

16  E'li  the  vision.     Then  E'li  called  Sam'u-el,  and  said, 

17  Sam'u-el,  my  son.  And  he  said.  Here  am  I.  And 
he  said,  What  is  the  thing  that  the  Lord  hath 
spoken  unto  thee?  I  pray  thee  hide  it  not  from 
me:  God  do  so  to  thee,  and  more  also,  if  thou 
hide  any  thing  from  me    of   all    the    things  that 

18  he  spake  unto  thee.  And  Sam'u-el  told  him  every 
whit,  and  hid  nothing  from  him.  And  he  said,  It 
is  the  Lord:  let  him  do  what  seemeth  him  good. 

19  And  Sam'u-el  grew,  and  the  Lord  was  with  him, 
and  did  let  none  of  his  words  fall  to  the   ground.

20  And  all  Is'ra-el,  'from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba,  knew 
that  Sam'u-el  was  ||  established  to  he  a  prophet  of  the  Loed. 

21  And  the  Lord  appeared  again  in  Shi'loh:  for  the 
Lord  revealed  himself  to  Sam'u-el  in  Shi'loh  by  "the  word 
of  the  Lord.

beside  "Eb'en-e'zer :  and  the  Phi-lis' tines  pitched  in  A'phek. 

2  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  put  themselves  in  array  against 
Is'ra-el:  and  when  fthey  joined  battle,  Is'ra-el  was  smitten 
before  the  Phi-lis'tines:  and  they  slew  of  fthe  army  in  the 
field  about  four  thousand  men. 

3  ^And  when  the  people  were  come  into  the  camp,  the 
elders  of  Is'ra-el  said,  Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  smitten  us 
to-day  before  the  Phi-lis'tines?  Let  us  ffetch  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  out  of  Shi'loh  unto  us,  that,  when  it  com- 
eth  among  us,  it  may  save  us  out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies. 

4  So  the  people  sent  to  Shi'loh,  that  they  might  bring 
from  thence  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
'which  dwelleth  between  "^the  cherubim :  and  the  two  sons 
of  E'li,  Hoph'ni  and  Phin'e-ha^i,  were  there  with  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  of  God. 

5  And  when  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  came 
into  the  camp,  all  Is'ra-el  shouted  with  a  great  shout,  so  that 
the  earth  rang  again. 

6  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  the  noise  of  the  shout, 
they  said,  What  meaneth  the  noise  of  this  great  shout  in 
the  camp  of  the  He'brews  ?  And  they  nnderstood  that  the 
ark  of  the  Lord  was  come  into  the  camp. 

7  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  afraid ;  for  they  said,  God  is 
come  into  the  camp.  And  they  said.  Woe  unto  us!  for 
there  hath  not  been  such  a  thing  fheretofore. 

8  Woe  unto  us !  who  shall  deliver  us  out  of  the  hand  of 
these  mighty  Gods?  these  are  the  Gods  that  smote  the 
E-gyp'tians  with  all  the  plagues  in  the  wilderness. 

9  ''Be  strong,  and  quit  yourselves  like  men,  O  ye  Phi-lis'- 
tines, that  ye  be  not  servants  unto  the  He'brews,  'as  they 
have  been  to  you :  fquit  yourselves  like  men,  and  fight. 

10  ^And  the  Phi-lis'tines  fought,  and  •'^Is'ra-el  was  smitten, 
and  they  fled  every  man  into  his  tent :  and  there  was  a  very- 
great  slaughter;  for  there  fell  of  Is'ra-el  thirty  thousand  footmen . 

11  And  "the  ark  of  God  was  taken;  and  *the  two  sons  of 
E'li,  Hoph'ni  and  Phin'e-has,  fwere  slain. 

12  ^And  there  ran  a  man  of  Ben'ja-min  out  of  the  army, 
and  'came  to  Shi'loh  the  same  day  with  his  clothes  rent, 
and  *with  earth  upon  his  head. 

13  And  when  he  came,  lo,  E'li  sat  upon  'a  seat  by  the 
way  side  watching:  for  his  heart  trembled  for  the  ark  of 
God.  And  when  the  man  came  into  the  city,  and  told  it, 
all  the  city  cried  out. 

14  And  when  E'li  heard  the  noise  of  the  crying,  he  said. 
What  meaneth  the  noise  of  this  tumult?  And  the  man 
came  in  hastily,  and  told  E'li. 

15  Now  E'li  was  ninety  and  eight  years  old;  and  ""his  eyes 
fwere  dim,  that  he  could  not  .see. 

16  And  the  man  said  unto  E'li,  I  am  he  that  came  out  of 
the  army,  and  I  fled  to-day  out  of  the  army.  And  he  said, 
"What  fis  there  done,  my  son? 

17  And  the  messenger  answered  and  said,  Is'ra-el  is  fled 
before  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  there  hath  been  also  a  great 
slaughter  among  the  people,  and  thy  two  sons  also,  Hoph'ni 
and  Phin'e-has,  are  dead,  and  the  ark  of  God  is  taken. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  made  mention  of  the  ark 
of  God,  that  he  fell  from  off  the  seat  backward  by  the  side  of 
the  gate,  and  his  neck  brake,  and  he  died  :  for  he  was  an  old 
man,  and  heavy.     ||  And  he  had  judged  Is'ra-el  forty  years. 

19  ^And  his  daughter  in  law,  Phin'e-has'  wife,  was  with

20  And  ail  Is'ra-el  from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba  knew 
that  Sam'u-el  was  established  to  be  a  prophet  of  the 

21  Lord.  And  the  Lord  appeared  again  in  Shi'loh : 
for  the  Lord  revealed  himself  to  Sam'u-el  in  Shi'loh 
by  the  word  of  the  Lord.  And  the  word  of  Sam'u-el 
came  to  all  Is'ra-el. 

Now  Is'ra-el  went  out  against  the  Phi-lis'tines  to 
battle,  and  pitched  beside  'Eb'en-e'zer :  and  the  Phi- 

2  lis' tines  pitched  in  A'phek.  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  put 
themselves  in  array  against  Is'ra-el :  and  when  Hhej 
joined  battle,  Is'ra-el  was  smitten  before  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines :  and  they  slew  of  the  'army  in  the  field  about 

3  four  thousand  men.  And  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  camp,  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  said.  Where- 
fore hath  the  Lord  smitten  us  to-day  before  the 
Phi-lis'tines?  Let  us  fetch  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  out  of  Shi'loh  unto  us,  that  it  may  come 
among  us,  and  save  us  out  of  the  hand  of  our  ene- 

4  mies.  So  the  people  sent  to  Shi'loh,  and  they  brought 
from  thence  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  which  *sitteth  upon  the  cherubim :  and  the 
two  sons  of  E'li,  Hoph'ni  and  Phin'e-has,  were  there 

5  with  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  God.  And  when 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  came  into  the 
camp,  all  Is'ra-el  shouted  with  a  great  shout,  so  that 

6  the  earth  rang  again.  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tines 
heard  the  noise  of  the  shout,  they  said.  What  mean- 
eth the  noise  of  this  great  shout  in  the  camp  of  the 
He'brews?     And  they  understood   that  the  ark  of 

7  the  Lord  was  come  into  the  camp.  And  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines were  afraid,  for  they  said,  God  is  come  into  the 
camp.     And  they  said.  Woe  unto  us  !  for  there  hath 

8 not  been  such  a  thing  heretofore.  Woe  unto  us! 
M-ho  shall  deliver  us  out  of  the  hand  of  these  mighty 
gods?  these  are  the  gods  that  smote  the  E-gyp'tians 

9  with  all  manner  of  'plagues  in  the  wilderness.  Be 
strong,  and  quit  yourselves  like  men,  O  ye  Phi-lis'- 
tines, that  ye  be  not  servants  unto  the  He'brews,  as 
they  have  been  to  you:  quit   yourselves  like  men, 

10  and  fight.  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  fought,  and  Is'ra-el 
was  smitten,  and  they  fled  every  man  to  his  tent : 
and  there  was  a  very  great  slaughter ;  for  there  fell 

11  of  Is'ra-el  thirty  thousand  footmen.  And  the  ark  of 
God  was  taken;  and  the   two  sons  of  E'li,  Hoph'ni 

12  and  Phin'e-has,  were  slain.  And  there  ran  a  man  of 
Ben'ja-min  out  of  the  'army,  and  came  to  Shi'loh  the 
same  day  with  his  clothes  rent,  and  with  earth  upon 

13  his  head.  And  when  he  came,  lo,  E'li  sat  upon  his 
seat  ^by  the  way  side  watching:  for  his  heart  trem- 
bled for  the  ark  of  God.     And  when  the  man  came 

14  into  the  city,  and  told  it,  all  the  city  cried  out.  And 
when  E'li  heard  the  noise  of  the  crying,  he  said, 
What  meaneth  the  noise  of  this  tumult?     And  the 

15  man  hasted,  and  came  and  told  E'li.  Now  E'li  was 
ninety  and  eight  years  old;  and  his  eyes  were  'set, 

16  that  he  could  not  see.  And  the  man  G<»id  unto 
E'li,  I  am  he  that  came  out  of  the  'army,  and  I 
fled  to-day  out  of  the  'army.     And  he  said.  How 

17 went  the  matter,  my  son?  And  he  that  brought 
the  tidings  answered  and  said,  Is'ra-cl  is  fled  before 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  there  hath  been  also  a  great 
slaughter  among  the  people,  and  thy  two  .sons 
also,  Hoph'ni  and  Phin'e-has,  are  dead,  and  the  ark  of

child  near  ]|  to  be  delivered :  and  when  she  heard  the  tidings 
that  the  ark  of  God  was  taken,  and  that  her  father  in  law 
and  her  husband  were  dead,  she  bowed  herself  and  trav- 
ailed ;  for  her  pains  fcame  upon  her. 

20  And  about  the  time  of  her  death  "the  women  that 
stood  by  her  said  unto  her,  Fear  not;  for  thou  hast  borne 
a  son.     But  she  answered  not,  fneither  did  she  regard  it. 

21  And  she  named  the  child  [["Icfa'a-bod,  saying,  'The 
glory  is  departed  from  Is'ra-el:  because  the  ark  of  God 
was  taken,  and  because  of  her  father  in  law  and  her 
husband. 

22  And  she  said.  The  glory  is  departed  from  Is'ra-el :  for 
the  ark  of  God  is  taken. 

CHAPTER    V. 

The  ark  is  brought  into  Askdod,  and  set  in  the  house  of  Dagon. 

AND  the  Phi-lis'tines  took  the  ark  of  God,  and  brought 
it  "from  Eb'en-e'zer  unto  Ash'dod. 

2  When  the  Phi-lis'tines  took  the  ark  of  God,  they  brought 
it  into  the  house  of  ''Da'gon,  and  set  it  by  Da'gon. 

3  "[[And  when  they  of  Ash'dod  arose  early  on  the  morrow, 
behold,  Da'gon  was  ''fallen  upon  his  face  to  the  earth  before 
the  ark  of  the  Lord.  And  they  took  Da'gon,  and  ''set  him 
in  his  place  again. 

4  And  when  they  arose  early  on  the  morrow  morning, 
behold,  Da'gon  was  fallen  upon  his  face  to  the  ground  be- 
fore the  ark  of  the  Lord  ;  and  'the  head  of  Da'gon,  and 
both  the  palms  of  his  hands  were  cut  off  upon  the  thresh- 
old; only  ll^Ae  stwnvp  o/ Da'gon  was  left  to  him. 

5  Therefore  neither  the  priests  of  Da'gon,  nor  any  that 
come  into  Da'gon's  house,  -'tread  on  the  threshold  of  Da'gon 
in  Ash'dod  unto  this  day. 

6  But  "the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  heavy  upon  them  of 
Ash'dod,  and  he  ^destroyed  them,  and  smote  them  with 
'emerods,  even  Ash'dod,  and  the  coasts  thereof. 

7  And  when  the  men  of  Ash'dod  saw  that  it  was  so,  they 
said.  The  ark  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  shall  not  abide  with  us : 
for  his  hand  is  sore  upon  us,  and  upon  Da'gon  our  god. 

8  They  sent  therefore,  and  gathered  all  the  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines  unto  them,  and  said,  What  shall  we  do  with  the 
ark  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  ?  And  they  answered,  Let  the  ark 
of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  be  carried  about  unto  Gath.  And  they 
carried  the  ark  of  ^the  God  of  Is'ra-el  about  thither. 

9  And  it  was  so,  that,  after  they  had  carried  it  about,  *the 
hand  of  the  Lord  was  against  the  city  'with  a  very  great 
destruction :  and  ""he  smote  the  men  of  the  city,  both  small 
and  great,  and  they  had  emerods  in  their  secret  parts. 

10  TJTherefore  they  sent  the  ark  of  God  to  Ek'ron.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  as  the  ark  of  God  came  to  Ek'ron,  that  the 
Ek'ron-ites  cried  out,  saying.  They  have  brought  about  the 
ark  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  to  fus,  to  slay  us  and  our  people. 

11  So  they  sent  and  gathered  together  all  the  lords  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  said.  Send  away  the  ark  of  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  let  it  go  again  to  his  own  place,  that  it 
slay  fus  not,  and  our  people:  for  there  was  a  deadly  de- 
struction throughout  all  the  city ;  "the  hand  of  Gt)d  was 
very  heavy  there. 

12  And  the  men  that  died  not  were  smitten  with  the 
emerods :  and  the  cry  of  the  city  went  up  to  heaven. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

The  Philistines  take  counsel  how  to  send  back  the  ark. 


ND  the  ark  of  the   Lord  was   in  the  country  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines  seven  months. 


A 

2  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  "called  for  the  priests  and  the  di- 
viners, saying,  What  shall  we  do  to  the  ark  of  the  Lord  ? 
tell  us  wherewith  we  shall  send  it  to  his  place. 

3  And  they  said.  If  ye  send  away  the  ark  of  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  send  it  not  ''empty ;  but  in  any  wise  return  him  ''a 
trespass  offering :  then  ye  shall  be  healed,  and  it  shall  ''be 
known  to  you  why  his  hand  is  not  removed  from  you. 


child,  near  to  be  delivered :  and  when  she  heard  the 
tidings  that  the  ark  of  God  was  taken,  and  that  her 
father  in  law  and  her  husband  were  dead,  she  bowed 
herself  and  brought  forth ;  for  her  pains  came  upon 

20  her.  And  about  the  time  of  her  death  the  women 
that  stood  by  her  said  unto  her,  Fear  not ;  for  thou 
hast  brought  forth  a  son.      But  she  answered  not, 

21  neither  did  she  regard  it.  And  she  named  the  child 
'Ich'a-bod,  saying,  The  glory  is  departed  from  Is'ra-el : 
because  the  ark  of  God  was  taken,  and  because  of 

22  her  father  in  law  and  her  husband.  And  she  said. 
The  glory  is  departed  from  Is'ra-el ;  for  the  ark  of 
God  is  taken. 

0  ,  Now  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  taken  the  ark  of  God, 
and  they  brought  it  from  Eb'en-e'zer  unto  Ash'dod. 

2  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  took  the  ark  of  God,  and  brought 

3  it  into  the  house  of  Da'gon,  and  set  it  by  Da'gon.  And 
when  they  of  Ash'dod  arose  early  on  the  morrow, 
behold,  Da'gon  was  fallen  ^upon  his  face  to  the 
ground  before  the  ark  of  the  Lord.     And  they  took 

4  Da'gon,  and  set  him  in  his  place  again.  And  when 
they  arose  early  on  the  morrow  morning,  behold, 
Da'gon  was  fallen  ^upon  his  &ce  to  the  ground  be- 
fore the  ark  of  the  Lord  ;  and  the  head  of  Da'gon 
and  both  the  palms  of  his  hands  lay  cut  off  upon  the 
threshold  ;  only  the  stump  of  Da'gon  was  left  to  him. 

5  Therefore  neither  the  priests  of  Da'gon,  nor  any  that 
come  into  Da'gon's  house,  tread  on  the  threshold  of 
Da'gon  in  Ash'dod,  unto  this  day. 

6  But  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  heavy  upon  them 
of  Ash'dod,  and  he  destroyed  them,  and  smote  them 
with  humours,  *even  Ash'dod  and  the  borders  thereof. 

7  And  when  the  men  of  Ash'dod  saw  that  it  was  so, 
they  said.  The  ark  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  shall  not 
abide  with  us:    for  his  hand  is  sore  upon  us,  and 

8  upon  Da'gon  our  god.  They  sent  therefore  and 
gathered  all  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  unto  them, 
and  said.  What  shall  we  do  with  the  ark  of  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el  ?  And  they  answered.  Let  the  ark  of  the 
God  of  Is'ra-ei  be  carried  about  unto  Gath.  And 
they  carried  the  ark  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  about 

9  thither.  And  it  was  so,  that,  after  they  had  carried 
it  about,  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  against  the  city 
with  a  very  great  discomfiture :  and  he  smote  the 
men  of  the  city,  both  small  and  great,  and  tumours 

lObrake  out  upon  them.  So  they  sent  the  ark  of  God 
to  Ek'ron.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  ark  of  God 
came  to  Ek'ron,  that  the  Ek'ron-ites  cried  out,  saying. 
They  have  brought  about  the  ark  of  the  God  of. 

11  Is'ra-el  to  us,  to  slay  us  and  our  people.  They  sent 
therefore  and  gathered  together  all  the  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines,  and  they  said.  Send  away  the  ark  of  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  let  it  go  again  to  its  own  place, 
that  it  slay  us  not,  and  our  people :  for  there  was  a 
deadly    discomfiture    throughout    all   the  city;    the 

12  hand  of  God  was  very  heavy  there.  And  the  men 
that  died  not  were  smitten  with  the  tumours :  and 
the  cry  of  the  city  went  up  to  heaven.

4  Then  said  they,  What  shall  be  the  trespass  offering 
which  we  shall  return  to  him?  They  answered,  Five 
golden  emerods,  and  five  golden  mice,  'according  to  the 
number  of  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  for  one  plague  was 
on  tyou  all,  and  on  your  lords. 

5  Wherefore  ye  shall  make  images  of  your  emerods,  and 
images  of  your  mice  that  -^mar  the  land;  and  ye  shall 
"give  glory  unto  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  peradventure  he  will 
^lighten  his  hand  from  off  you,  and  from  off  "your  gods,  and 
from  off  your  land. 

6  Wherefore  then  do  ye  harden  your  hearts,  *as  the 
E-gyp'tians  and  Pha'raoh  hardened  their  hearts  ?  when  he 
had  wrought  ||  wonderfully  among  them,  'did  they  not  let 
fthe  people  go,  and  they  departed? 

7  Now  therefore  make  "a  new  cart,  and  take  two  milch 
kine,  "on  which  there  hath  come  no  yoke,  and  tie  the  kine 
to  the  cart,  and  bring  their  calves  home  from  them  : 

8  And  take  the  ark  of  Lord,  and  lay  it  upon  the  cart; 
and  put  "the  jewels  of  gold,  which  ye  return  him /or  a  tres- 
pass offering,  in  a  coffer  by  the  side  thereof;  and  send  it 
away,  that  it  may  go. 

9  And  see,  if  it  goeth  up  by  the  way  of  his  own  coast  to 
"Beth-she'mesh,  then  \\  he  hath  done  us  this  great  evil:  but 
if  not,  then  'we  shall  know  that  it  is  not  his  hand  that  smote 
us ;  it  was  a  chance  that  happened  to  us. 

10  ^And  the  men  did  so;  and  took  two  milch  kine,  and 
tied  them  to  the  cart,  and  shut  up  their  calves  at  home : 

11  And  they  laid  the  ark  of  the  Lord  upon  the  cart,  and  the 
coffer  with  the  mice  of  gold  and  the  images  of  their  emerods. 

12  And  the  kine  took  the  straight  way  to  the  way  of 
Beth-she'mesh,  and  went  along  the  highway,  lowing  as  they 
went,  and  turned  not  aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left ; 
and  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  after  them  unto  the 
border  of  Beth-she'mesh. 

13  And  they  of  Beth-she'mesh  were  reaping  their  wheat 
harvest  in  the  valley ;  and  they  lifted  up  their  eyes,  and  saw 
the  ark,  and  rejoiced  to  see  it.  ' 

14  And  the  cart  came  into  the  field  of  Josh'u-a,  a  Beth- 
she'mite,  and  stood  there,  where  there  was  a  great  stone : 
and  they  clave  the  wood  of  the  cart,  and  offered  the  kine  a 
burnt  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

15  And  the  Le'vites  took  down  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  coffer  that  was  with  it,  wherein  the  jewels  of  gold  were, 
and  put  them  on  the  great  stone :  and  the  men  of  Beth- 
she'mesh  offered  burnt  offerings  and  sacrificed  sacrifices  the 
same  day  unto  the  Lord. 

16  And  when  'the  five  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  seen  it, 
they  returned  to  Ek'ron  the  same  day. 

17  'And  these  are  the  golden  emerods  which  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines returned  for  a  trespass  offering  unto  the  Lord  ;  for 
Ash'dod  one,  for  Ga'za  one,  for  As'ke-lon  one,  for  Gath  one, 
for  Ek'ron  one ; 

18  And  the  golden  mice,  according  to  the  number  of  all 
the  cities  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  belonging  to  the  five  lords,  both 
of  fenced  cities,  and  of  country  villages,  even  unto  the 
II  great  stone  of  A'bel,  whereon  they  set  down  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  :  which  stone  remaineth  unto  this  day  in  the  field  of 
Jfosh'u-a  the  Beth-she'mite. 

19  ^And  'he  smote  the  men  of  Beth-she'mesh,  because 
they  had  looked  into  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  even  he  smote 
of  the  people  fifty  thousand  and  threescore  and  ten  men : 
and  the  people  lamented,  because  the  Lord  had  smitten 
many  of  the  people  with  a  great  slaughter. 

20  And  the  men  of  Beth-she'mesh  said,  "Who  is  able  to 
stand  before  this  holy  Lord  God?  and  to  whom  shall  he 
go  up  from  us? 

21  ^And  they  sent  messengers  to  the  inhabitants  of  ''Kir'- 
jath-je'a-rim,  saying.  The  Phi-lis'tines  have  brought  again  the 
ark  of  the  Lord;  come  ye  down,  and  fetch  it  up  to  you. 


4  Then  said  they.  What  shall  be  the  guilt  offering 
which  we  shall  return  to  him?  And  they  said. 
Five  golden  tumours,  and  five  golden  mice,  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  :  for 
one  plague   was   on  'you  all,  and  on  your   lords. 

5  Wherefore  ye  shall  make  images  of  your  tumours, 
and  images  of  your  mice  that  mar  the  land ;  and  ye 
shall  give  glory  unto  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  peradvent- 
ure he  will  lighten  his  hand  from  off  you,  and  from 

6  off  your  gods,  and  from  off  your  land.  Wherefore 
then  do  ye  harden  your  hearts,  as  the  E-gyp'tians  and 
Pha'raoh  hardened  their  hearts?  when  he  had 
brought  wonderfully  among  them,  did  they  not  let 

7  'the  people  go,  and  they  departed  ?  Now  therefore 
take  and  prepare  you  a  new  cart,  and  two  milch  kine, 
on  which  there  hath  come  no  yoke,  and  tie  the  kine 
to  the  cart,  and  bring  their  calves  home  from  them : 

Sand  take  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  lay  it  upon  the 
cart;  and  put  the  jewels  of  gold,  which  ye  return 
him  for  a  guilt  offering,  in  a  coffer  by    the   side 

9  thereof;  and  send  it  away,  that  it  may  go.  And  see, 
if  it  goeth  up  by  the  way  of  its  own  border  to  Beth- 
she'mesh,  then  he  hath  done  us  this  great  evil :  but 
if  not,  then  we  shall  know  that  it  is  not  his  hand 
that  smote  us ;  it  was  a  chance  that  happened  to  us. 

10  And  the  men  did  so ;  and  took  two  milch  kine,  and 
tied  them  to  the  cart,  and  shut  up  their  calves  at 

1 1  home :  and  they  put  the  ark  of  the  Lord  upon  the 
cart,  and  the  coffer  with  the  mice  of  gold  and  the 

12  images  of  their  tumours.  And  the  kine  took  the 
straight  way  by  the  way  to  Beth-she'mesh;  they 
went  along  ^the  high  way,  lowing  as  they  went,  and 
turned  not  aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left ;  and 
the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  after  them  unto  the 

13  border  of  Beth-she'mesh.  And  they  of  Beth-she'- 
mesh were  reaping  their  wheat  harvest  in  the  valley : 
and  they  lifted  up  their  eyes,  and  saw  the  ark,  and 

14  rejoiced  to  see  it.  And  the  cart  came  into  the  field 
of  Josh'u-a  the  Beth-she'mite,  and  stood  there,  where 
there  was  a  great  stone :  and  they  clave  the  wood  of 
the  cart,  and  offered  up  the  kine  for  a  burnt  offer- 

15ing  unto  the  Lord.  And  the  Le'vites  took  down 
the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  the  coffer  that  was  with  it, 
wherein  the  jewels  of  gold  were,  and  put  them  on 
the  great  stone :  and  the  men  of  Beth-she'mesh 
offered  burnt  offerings  and  sacrificed    sacrifices  the 

16  same  day  unto  the  Lord.  And  when  the  five  lords 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  seen  it,  they  returned  to  Ek'ron 
the  same  day. 

17  And  these  are  the  golden  tumours  which  the  Phi- 
lis'tines  returned  for  a  guilt  offering  unto  the  Lord  ; 
for  Ash'dod  one,  for  Ga'zaone,  for  Ash'ke-lon  one,  for 

18 Gath  one, for  Ek'ron  one;  and  the  golden  mice,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  all  the  cities  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines belonging  to  the  five  lords,  both  of  fenced  cities 
and  of  country  villages :  even  unto  the  great  ''stone, 
whereon  they  set  down  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  which 
stone  remaineth  unto  this  day  in  the  field  of  Josh'u-a  the 

19  Beth-she'mite.  ''And  he  smote  of  the  men  of  Beth- 
she'mesh,  because  they  had  looked  into  the  ark  of  the 
Lord,  even  he  smote  of  the  people  seventy  men,  and 
fifty  thousand  men :  and  the  people  mourned,  be- 
cause the  Lord  had  smitten  the  people  with  a  great 

20  slaughter.  And  the  men  of  Beth-she'mesh  said.  Who 
is  able  to  stand  before  the  Lord,  this  holy  God  ?  and 

21  to  whom  shall  he  go  up  from  us?  And  they  sent 
messengers  to  the  inhabitants  of  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim,  say- 
ing, the  Phi-lis'tines  have  brought  again  the  ark  of 
the  Lord  ;  come  ye  down,  and  fetch  it  up  to  you.

CHAPTER   VII. 

Tkey  of  Kirjath-jearim  bring  the  ark  into  the  house  of  Abinadab,  to  keep  it. 

AND  the  men  of  "Kir'jath-je'a-rim  came,  and  fetched  up 
the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  brought  it  into  the  house  of 
A-bin'a-dab  in  the  hill,  and  sanctified  E-le-a'zar  his  son  to 
keep  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  the  ark  abode  in  Kir'jath- 
je'a-rim,  that  the  time  was  long ;  for  it  was  twenty  years : 
and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  lamented  after  the  Lord. 

3  ^And  Sam'u-el  spake  unto  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
saying.  If  ye  do  "return  unto  the  Lord  with  all  your  hearts, 
then  ''put  away  the  strange  gods  and  'Ash'ta-roth  from 
among  you,  and -^prepare  your  hearts  unto  the  Lord,  and 
"serve  him  only :  and  he  will  deliver  you  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

4  Then  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  put  away  ''Ba'a-lim  and 
Ash'ta-roth,  and  served  the  Lord  only. 

5  And  Sam'u-el  said,  'Gather  all  Is'ra-el  to  Miz'peh,  and 
I  will  pray  for  you  unto  the  Lord. 

6  And  they  gathered  together  to  Miz'peh,  *and  drew  water, 
and  poured  it  out  before  the  Lord,  and  'fasted  on  that  day, 
and  said  there,  ™We  have  sinned  against  the  Lord.  And 
Sam'u-el  judged  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  in  Miz'peh. 

7  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  that  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  were  gathered  together  to  Miz'peh,  the  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines  went  up  against  Is'ra-el.  And  when  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  heard  it,  they  were  afraid  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

8  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  said  to  Sam'u-el,  t°Cease 
not  to  cry  unto  the  Lord  our  God  for  us,  that  he  will  save 
us  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

9  i[And  Sam'u-el  took  a  sucking  lamb,  and  offered  it  for 
a  burnt  offering  wholly  unto  the  Lord  :  and  'Sam'u-el  cried 
unto  the  Lord  for  Is'ra-el;  and  the  Lord  || heard  him. 

10  And  as  Sam'u-el  was  offering  up  the  burnt  offering,  the 
Phi-lis'tines  drew  near  to  battle  against  Is'ra-el:  ""but  the 
Lord  thundered  with  a  great  thunder  on  that  day  upon  the 
Phi-lis'tines,  and  discomfited  them ;  and  they  were  smitten 
before  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  the  men  of  Is'rael  went  out  of  Miz'peh,  and  pur- 
sued the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  smote  them,  until  they  came  under 
Beth'-car. 

12  Then  Sam'u-el  'took  a  stone,  and  set  it  between  Miz'peh 
and  Shen,  and  called  the  name  of  it  ||  Eb'en-e'zer,  saying, 
Hitherto  hath  the  Lord  helped  us. 

13  ^'So  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  subdued,  and  they  "came  no 
more  into  the  coast  of  Is-ra'el :  and  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  against  the  Phi-lis'tines  all  the  days  of  Sam'u-el. 

14  And  the  cities  which  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  taken  from 
Is'ra-el  were  restored  to  Is-ra'el,  from  Ek'ron  even  unto  Gath ; 
and  the  coasts  thereof  did  Is-ra'el  deliver  out  of  the  hands  ot 
the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  there  was  peace  between  Is-ra'el  and 
the  Am'o-rites. 

15  And  Sam'u-el  ^judged  Is'ra-el  all  the  days  of  his  life. 

16  And  he  went  from  year  to  year  fin  circuit  to  Beth'-el, 
andGil'gal,andMiz'peh, and  judged  Is'ra-el  in  all  those  places. 

17  And  "his  return  was  to  Ra'mah ;  for  there  was  his 
house ;  and  there  he  judged  Is'ra-el ;  and  there  he  ^built  an 
altar  unto  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

By  occasion  of  the  ill  government  of  SamueVs  sons,  the  Israelites  ask  a  king. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  when  Sam'u-el  was  old  that  he 
"made  his  'sons  judges  over  Is'ra-el. 

2  Now  the  name  of  his  firstborn  was  ||  Jo'el :  and  the  name 
of  his  second,  A-bi'ah  :  they  were  judges  in  Be'er-she'ba. 

3  And  his  sons  "'walked  not  in  his  ways,  but  turned  aside 
''after  lucre,  and  "took  bribes,  and  perverted  judgment. 

4  Then  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  came  to  Sam'u-el  unto  Ra'mah, 

5  And  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thou  art  old,  and  thy  sons 


/  And  the  men  of  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim  came,  and  fetched 
up  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  brought  it  into  the 
house  of  A-bin'a-dab  in  'the  hill,  and  sanctified  E-le- 
a'zar  his  son  to  keep  the  ark  of  the  Lord. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  from  the  day  that  the  ark 
abode  in  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim,  that  the  time  wajs  long;  for 
it  was  twenty  years:  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 

3  ^lamented  after  the  Lord.  And  Sam'u-el  spake  unto 
all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  If  ye  do  return  unto 
the  Lord  with  all  your  heart,  then  put  away  the 
strange  gods  and  the  Ash'ta-roth  from  among  you, 
and  'prepare  your  hearts  unto  the  Lord,  aijd  serve 
him  only  :  and  he  will  deliver  you  out  of  the  hand  of 

4  the  Phi-lis'tines.  Then  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did 
put  away  the  Ba'al-im  and  the  Ash'ta-roth,  and 
served  the  Lord  only. 

5  And  Sam'u-el  said.  Gather  all  Is'ra-el  to  Miz'pah. 

6  and  I  will  pray  for  you  unto  the  Lord.  And  they 
gathered  together  to  Miz'pah,  and  drew  water,  and 
poured  it  out  before  the  Lord,  and  fasted  on  that 
day,  and  said  there.  We  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord.    And  Sam'u-el  judged  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 

7  in  Miz'pah.  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  that 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  gathered  together  to 
Miz'pah,  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  up  against 
Is'ra-el.     And  when  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  heard  it, 

8  they  were  afraid  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  said  to  Sam'u-el,  Cease  not  to  cry  unto  the 
Lord  our  God  for  us,  that  he  will  save  us  out  of  the 

9  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  Sam'uel  took  a  suck- 
ing lamb,  and  offered  it  for  a  whole  burnt  offering 
unto  the  Lord  :  and  Sam'u-el  cried  unto  the  Lord 

10  for  Is'ra-el ;  and  the  Lord  answered  him.  And  as 
Sam'u-el  was  offering  up  the  burnt  offering,  the 
Phi-lis'tines  drew  near  to  battle  against  Is'ra-el :  but 
the  Lord  thundered  with  a  great  Hhunder  on  that 
day  upon  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  discomfited  them ;  and 

11  they  were  smitten  down  before  Is'ra-el.  And  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el  went  out  of  Miz'pah,  and  pursued  the 
Phi-lis'tines,  and  smote  them,  until  they  came  under 

12  Beth'-car.  Then  Sam'u-el  took  a  stone,  and  set  it 
between  Miz'pah  and  Shen,  and  called  the  name  of 
it  ^Eb'en-e'zer,  saying.  Hitherto  hath  the  Lord  helped 

13  us.  So  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  subdued,  and  they  came 
no  more  within  the  border  of  Is'ra-el :  and  the  hand 
of  the  Lord  was  against  the  Phi-lis'tines  all  the  days 

14  of  Sam'u-el.  And  the  cities  which  the  Phi-lis'tines  had 
taken  from  Is'ra-el  were  restored  to  Is'ra-el  from  Ek'ron 
even  unto  Gath ;  and  the  border  thereof  did  Is'ra-el 
deliver  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.    And  there 

15  was  peace  between  Is'ra-el  and  the  Am'o-rites.     And 

16  Sam'u-el  judged  Is'ra-el  all  the  days  of  his  life.  And 
he  went  from  year  to  year  in  circuit  to  Beth'-el,  and 
Gil'gal,  and  Miz'pah;  and  he  judged  Is'ra-el  in  all  those 

17  places.  And  his  return  was  to  Ra'mah,  for  there  was 
his  house;  and  there  he  judged  Is'ra-el:  and  he  built 
there  an  altar  unto  the  Lord. 


8 


And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Sam'u-el  was  old,  that 

2  he  made  his  sons  judges  over  Is'ra-el.  Now  the 
name  of  his  firstborn  was  Jo'el ;  and  the  name  of  his 
second,  A-bi'jah:  they  were  judges  in  Be'er-she'ba. 

3  And  his  sons  walked  not  in  his  ways,  but  turned 
aside  after  lucre,  and  took  bribes,  and  perverted 
judgement. 

4  Then  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  gathered  themselves 

5  together,  and  came  to  Sam'u-el  unto  Ra'mah :  and  they 
said  unto  him,  Behold,  thou  art  old,  and  thy  sons

like  all  the  nations. 

6  •[[  But  the  thing  fdispleased  Sam'u-el,when  they  said,  Give 
us  a  king  to  judge  us.     And  Sam'u-el  prayed  unto  the  Loed. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  Hearken  unto  the 
voice  of  the  people  in  all  that  they  say  unto  thee  :  for  "they 
have  not  rejected  thee,  but  *they  have  rejected  me,  that  I 
should  not  reign  over  them. 

8  According  to  all  the  works  which  they  have  done  since 
the  day  that  I  brought  them  up  out  of  E'gypt  even  unto 
this  day,  wherewith  they  have  forsaken  me,  and  served 
other  gods,  so  do  they  also  unto  thee. 

9  Now  therefore  |1  hearken  unto  their  voice:  ||howbeit 
yet  protest  solemnly  unto  them,  and  'shew  them  the  man- 
ner of  the  king  that  shall  reign  over  them. 

10  ^And  Sam'u-el  told  all  the  words  of  the  Lord  unto  the 
people  that  asked  of  him  a  king. 

11  And  he  said,  *This  will  be  the  manner  of  the  king  that 
shall  reign  over  you :  'He  will  take  your  sons,  and  appoint 
them  for  himself,  for  his  chariots,  and  to  be  his  horsemen; 
and  some  shall  run  before  his  chariots. 

12  And  he  will  appoint  him  captains  over  thousands,  and 
captains  over  fifties ;  and  will  set  them  to  ear  his  ground,  and 
to  reap  his  harvest,  and  to  make  his  instruments  of  war,  and 
instruments  of  his  chariots. 

13  And  he  will  take  your  daughters  to  be  confectionaries, 
and  to  be  cooks,  and  to  be  bakers. 

14  And  ""he  will  take  your  fields,  and  your  vineyards,  and 
your  oliveyards,  even  the  best  of  them,  and  give  them  to  his 
servants. 

15  And  he  will  take  the  tenth  of  your  seed,  and  of  your 
vineyards,  and  give  to  his  fofficers,  and  to  his  servants. 

16  And  he  will  take  your  menservants,  and  your  maid- 
servants, and  your  goodliest  young  men,  and  your  asses, 
and  put  them  to  his  work. 

17  He  will  take  the  tenth  of  your  sheep :  and  ye  shall  be 
his  servants. 

18  And  ye  shall  cry  out  in  that  day  because  of  your  king 
which  ye  shall  have  chosen  you;  and  the  Lord  "will  not 
hear  you  in  that  day. 

19  •[[Nevertheless  the  people  "refused  to  obey  the  voice  of 
Sam'u-el ;  and  they  said,  Nay ;  but  we  will  have  a  king  over  us; 

20  That  we  also  may  be  "like  all  the  nations ;  and  that  our 
king  may  judge  us,  and  go  out  before  us,  and  fight  our  battles. 

21  And  Sam'u-el  heard  all  the  words  of  the  people,  and  he 
rehearsed  them  in  the  ears  of  the  Lord. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  to  Sam'u-el,  'Hearken  unto  their 
voice,  and  make  them  a  king.  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el,  Go  ye  every  man  unto  his  city. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

Samuel  entertaineth  Saul—Samuel  bringeth  Saul  on  his  way. 

"VTOW  there  wasa  man  ofBen'ja-min  whose  name  was  "Kish, 
i- '  the  son  of  A-bi'el,  the  son  of  Ze'ror,  the  son  of  Be-cho'rath, 
the  son  of  A-phi'ah,  ||  a  Ben'ja-mite,  a  mighty  man  of  ||  power. 

2  And  he  had  a  son,  whose  name  was  Saul,  a  choice  young 
man,  and  a  goodly :  and  there  was  not  among  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  a  goodlier  person  than  he :  ""from  his  shoulders  and 
upward  he  was  higher  than  any  of  the  people. 

3  And  the  asses  of  Kish  Saul's  father  were  lost.  And 
Kish  said  to  Saul  his  son.  Take  now  one  of  the  servants 
with  thee,  and  arise,  go  seek  the  asses. 

4  And  he  passed  through  mount  E'phra-im,  and  passed 
through  the  land  of  "^Shal'i-sha,  but  they  found  them  not; 
then  they  passed  through  the  land  of  Sha'lim,  and  there  they 
were  not :  and  he  passed  through  the  land  of  the  Ben'ja-mites, 
but  they  found  them  not. 

6  And  when  they  were  come  to  the  land  of  Zuph,  Saul  said 
to  his  servant  tliat  was  with  him,  Come,  and  let  us  return  ;  lest 
my  father  leave  caring  for  the  asses,  and  take  thought  for  us. 


walk  not  in  thy  ways  :  now  make  us  a  king  to  judge 

6  us  like  all  the  nations.  But  the  thing  displeased 
Sam'u-el,  when  they  said.  Give  us  a  king  to  judge 

7  us.  And  Sam'u-el  prayed  unto  the  Lord.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  Hearken  unto  the  voice  of 
the  people  in  all  that  they  say  unto  thee  :  for  they 
have  not  rejected  thee,  but  they  have  rejected  me, 

8  that  I  should  not  be  king  over  them.  According  to 
all  the  works  which  they  have  done  since  the  day 
that  I  brought  them  up  out  of  E'gypt  even  unto  this 
day,  in  that  they  have  forsaken  me,  and  served  other 

9  gods,  so  do  they  also  unto  thee.  Now  therefore 
hearken  unto  their  voice:  howbeit  thou  shalt  pro- 
test solemnly  unto  them,  and  shalt  shew  them  the 
manner  of  the  king  that  shall  reign  over  them. 

10  And  Sam'u-el  told  all  the  words  of  the  Lord  unto 
lithe  people  that  asked  of  him  a  king.  And  he  said. 
This  will  be  the  manner  of  the  king  that  shall  reign 
over  you :  he  will  take  your  sons,  and  appoint  them 
unto  him,  'for  his  chariots,  and  to  be  his  horsemen ; 
12 and  they  shall  run  before  his  chariots:  and  he  will 
appoint  them  unto  him  for  captains  of  thousands, 
and  captains  of  fifties;  and  he  xcill  set  some  to  plow 
his  ground,  and  to  reap  his  harvest,  and  to  make 
his  instruments  of  war,  and  the   instruments  of  his 

13  chariots.  And  he  will  take  your  daughters  to  be 
^confectionaries,  and  to  be  cooks,  and  to  be  bakers. 

14  And  he  will  take  your  fields,  and  your  vineyards, 
and  your  oliveyards,  even  the  best  of  them,  and  give 

15  them  to  his  servants.  And  he  will  take  the  tenth  of 
your  seed,  and  of  your  vineyards,  and   give   to  his 

16  ^officers,  and  to  his  servants.  And  he  will  take  your 
menservants,  and  your  maidservants,  and  your  good- 
liest *young  men,  and  your   asses,  and   put  them  to 

17 his  work.     He  will  take  the  tenth  of  your  flocks: 

18  and  ye  shall  be  his  servants.     And  ye  shall  cry  out 

in  that  day  because  of  your  king  which  ye  shall  have 

chosen  you ;  and  the  Lord  will  not  answer  you  in 

19.  that  day.     But  the  people  refused  to  hearken  unto 

the  voice  of  Sam'u-el;  and  they  said,  Nay;  but  we 

20  will  have  a  king  over  us ;  that  we  also  may  be  like 
all  the  nations ;  and  that  our  king  may  judge  us, 

21  and  go  out  before  us,  and  fight  our  battles.  And 
Sam'u-el  heard  all  the  words  of  the  people,  and  he 

22  rehearsed  them  in  the  ears  of  the  Lord.  And  the 
Lord  said  to  Sam'u-el,  Hearken  unto  their  voice,  and 
make  them  a  king.  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el,  Go  ye  every  man  unto  his  city. 

V  Now  there  was  a  man  of  Ben'ja-min,  whose  name 
was  Kish,  the  son  of  A-bi'el,  the  son  of  Ze'ror,  the  son 
of  Be-co'rath,  the  son  A-phi'ah,  the  son  of  a  Ben'- 
2ja-mite,  a  mighty  man  of  Valour.  And  he  had  a  son, 
whose  name  was  Saul,  a  "young  man  and  a  goodly 
and  there  was  not  among  the  childreu  of  Is'ra-el  a 
goodlier   person   than   he :  from  his  shoulders  and 

3  upward  he  was  higher  than  any  of  the  people.  And 
the  asses  of  KLsh  Saul's  father  were  lost.  And  Kish 
said  to  Saul  his  son.  Take  now  one  of  the  servants 

4  with  thee,  and  arise,  go  seek  the  asses.  And  he 
passed  through  the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im,  and 
passed  through  the  land  of  Slial'i-shah,  but  they 
found  them  not:  then  they  pa.ssed  through  the 
land  of  Sha'a-lim,  and  there  they  were  not:  and  he 
passed   though   the   land   of  the    Ben'ja-mites,  but 

5 they  found  them  not.  When  they  were  come  to 
the  land  of  Zuph,  Saul  said  to  his  servant  that  was 
with  him,  Come  and  let  us  return  ;  lest  my  fether 
leave  caring  for  the  asses,  and  take  thought  for  us.

6  And  he  said  unto  him,  Behold  now,  (here  is  in  this 
city  ''a  man  of  God,  and  he  is  an  honourable  man ;  'all  that 
he  saith  cometh  surely  to  pass :  now  let  us  go  thither ;  per- 
adventure  he  can  shew  us  our  way  that  we  should  go. 

7  Then  said  Saul  to  his  servant,  But,  behold,  if  we  go, 
Avhat  shall  we  bring  the  man  ?  for  the  bread  fis  spent  in 
our  vessels,  and  there  is  not  a  present  to  bring  to  the  man 
of  God:  what  fhave  we? 

8  And  the  servant  answered  Saul  again,  and  said,  Behold, 
fl  have  here  at  hand  the  fourth  part  of  a  shekel  of  silver : 
that  will  I  give  to  the  man  of  God,  to  tell  us  our  way. 

9  (Beforetime  in  Is'ra-el,  when  a  man  'went  to  inquire  of 
God,  thus  he  spake,  Come,  and  let  us  go  to  the  seer :  for 
he  that  is  now  called  a  Prophet  was  beforetime  called  '"a 
Seer.) 

10  Then  said  Saul  to  his  servant,  fWell  said ;  come,  let  us 
go.     So  they  went  unto  the  city  where  the  man  of  God  was. 

11  ^And  as  they  went  up  fthe  hill  to  the  city,  *they 
found  young  maidens  going  out  to  draw  water,  and  said 
unto  them.  Is  the  seer  here  ? 

12  And  they  answered  them,  and  said.  He  is;  behold,  he 
is  before  you:  make  haste  now,  for  he  came  to-day  to  the 
city;  for  Hhere  is  a  || sacrifice  of  the  people  to-day  'in  the 
high  place : 

13  As  soon  as  ye  be  come  into  the  city,  ye  shall  straight- 
way find  him,  before  he  go  up  to  the  high  place  to  eat: 
for  the  people  will  not  eat  until  he  come,  because  he  doth 
bless  the  sacrifice ;  and  afterwards  they  eat  that  be  bidden. 
Now  therefore  get  you  ur  •  for  about  fthis  time  ye  shall 
find  him. 

14  And  they  went  up  into  the  city  :  and  when  they  were 
come  into  the  city,  behold,  Sam'u-el  came  out  against  them, 
for  to  go  up  to  the  high  place. 

15  ^"Now  the  Lord  had  ftold  Sam'u-el  in  his  ear  a  day 
before  Saul  came,  saying, 

16  To-morrow  about  this  time,  I  will  send  thee  a  man  out 
of  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min,  "and  thou  shalt  anoint  him  to  be 
captain  over  my  people  Is'ra-el,  that  he  may  save  my  people 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis' tines :  for  I  have  "looked  upon 
my  people,  because  their  cry  is  come  unto  me. 

17  And  when  Sam'u-el  saw  Saul,  the  Loed  said  unto  him, 
"Behold  the  man  whom  I  spake  to  thee  of!  this  same  shall 
freign  over  my  people. 

18  Then  Saul  drew  near  to  Sam'u-el  in  the  gate,  and  said, 
Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  where  the  seer's  house  is. 

19  And  Sam'u-el  answered  Saul,  and  said,  I  am  the  seer: 
go  up  before  me  unto  the  high  place ;  for  ye  shall  eat  with 
me  to-day,  and  to-morrow  I  will  let  thee  go,  and  will  tell 
thee  all  that  is  in  thine  heart. 

20  And  as  for  'thine  asses  that  were  lost  fthree  days  ago, 
set  not  thy  mind  on  them ;  for  they  are  found.  And  on 
whom  ''is  all  the  desire  of  Is'ra-el  ?  Is  it  not  on  thee,  and  on 
all  thy  father's  house  ? 

21  And  Saul  answered  and  said,  'Am  not  I  a  Ben'ja-mite, 
of  the  'smallest  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  ?  and  "my  family  the 
least  of  all  the  families  of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  ?  wherefore 
then  speakest  thou  fso  to  me  ? 

22  And  Sam'u-el  took  Saul  and  his  servant,  and  brought 
them  into  the  parlour,  and  made  them  sit  in  the  chiefest 
place  among  them  that  were  bidden,  which  were  about 
thirty  persons. 

23  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the  cook,  Bring  the  portion  which 
I  gave  thee,  of  which  I  said  unto  thee.  Set  it  by  thee. 

24  And  the  cook  took  up  "^the  shoulder,  and  that  which 
was  upon  it,  and  set  it  before  Saul.  And  Sam'u-el  said. 
Behold  that  which  is  ||left!  set  it  before  thee,  and  eat:  for 
unto  this  time  hath  it  been  kept  for  thee  since  I  said,  I  have 
invited  the  people.     So  Saul  did  eat  with  Sam'u-el  that  day. 

25  ^And  when  they  were  come  down  from  the  high  place 


6  And  he  said  unto  him.  Behold  now,  there  is  in  this 
city  a  man  of  God,  and  he  is  a  man  that  is  held  in 
honour;  all  that  he  saith  cometh  surely  to  pass:  now 
let  us  go  thither;  perad venture  he  can  tell  us  con- 

7  cerning  our  journey  whereon  we  go.  Then  said  Saul 
to  his  servant.  But,  behold,  if  we  go,  what  shall  we 
bring  the  man?  for  the  bread  is  spent  in  our  vessels, 
and  there  is  not  a  present  to  bring  to  the  man  of 

8  God :  what  have  we  ?  And  the  servant  answered 
Saul  again,  and  said,  Behold,  I  have  in  my  hand  the 
fourth  part  of  a  shekel  of  silver:  that  will  I  give  to 

9  the  man  of  God,  to  tell  us  our  way.  (Beforetime  in 
Is'ra-el,  when  a  man  went  to  inquire  of  God,  thus  he 
said.  Come  and  let  us  go  to  the  seer ;  for  he  that  is 
now  called  a  Prophet  was  beforetime  called  a  Seer.) 

10 Then  said  Saul  to  his  servant,  Well  said;  come,  let 
us  go.     So  they  went  unto  the  city  where  the  man 

11  of  God  was.  As  they  went  up  the  ascent  to  the  city, 
they  found  young  maidens  going  out  to  draw  water, 

12 and  said  unto  them.  Is  the  seer  here?  And  they 
answered  t'^em,  and  said,  He  is ;  behold,  he  is  before 
thee:  make  haste  now,  for  he  is  come  to-day  into 
the  city ;  for  the  people  have  a  sacrifice  to-day  in  the 

13 high  place:  as  soon  as  ye  be  come  into  the  city,  ye 
shall  straightway  find  him,  before  he  go  up  to  the 
high  place  to  eat:  for  the  people  will  not  eat  until 
he  come,  because  he  doth  bless  the  sacrifice ;  and 
afterwards  they  eat  tht.t  be  bidden.  Now  therefore 
get  you  up;  for   at    this   time   ye   shall    find    him. 

14  And  they  went  up  to  the  city;  and  as  they  came 
within  the  city,  behold,  Sam'u-el  came  out  against 
them,  for  to  go  up  to  the  high  place. 

15  Now  the  Lord  had  'revealed  unto  Sam'u-el  a  day  be- 

16  fore  Saul  came,  saying.  To-morrow  about  this  time 
I  will  send  thee  a  man  out  of  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min, 
and  thou  shalt  anoint  him  to  be  ^prince  over  my 
people  Is'ra-el,  and  he  shall  save  my  people  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  for  I  have  looked  upon 

17  my  people,  because  their  cry  is  come  unto  me.  And 
when  Sam'u-el  saw  Saul,  the  Lord  ^said  unto  him. 
Behold  the  man  *of  whom  I  spake  to  thee  !  this  same 

18  shall  have  authority  over  my  people.  Then  Saul 
drew  near  to  Sam'u-el  in  the  gate,  and  said.  Tell  me, 

191  pray  thee,  where  the  seer's  house  is.  And  Sam'u-el 
answered  Saul,  and  said,  I  am  the  seer;  go  up  be- 
fore me  unto  the  high  place,  for  ye  shall  eat  with 
me  to-day:  and  in  the  morning  I  will  let  thee  go, 

20  and  will  tell  thee  all  that  is  in  thine  heart.  And  as 
for  thine  asses  that  were  lost  three  days  ago,  set  not 
thy  mind  on  them ;  for  they  are  found.  And  'for 
whom  is  all  that  is  desirable  in  Is'ra-el  ?     Is  it  not  for 

21  thee,  and  for  all  thy  father's  house  ?  And  Saul  an- 
swered and  .said,  Am  not  I  a  Ben'ja-mite,  of  the 
smallest  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  ?  and  my  family  the 
least  of  all  the  families  of  the  *tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  ? 
wherefore  then  speakest  thou  to  me  after  this  mau- 

22ner?  And  Sam'u-el  took  Saul  and  his  servant,  and 
brought  them  into  the  guest-chamber,  and  made 
them  sit  in  the  chiefest  place  among  them  that  were 

23  bidden,  which  were  about  thirty  persons.  And  Sam'- 
u-el said  unto  the  cook.  Bring  the  portion  which  I 
gave  thee,  of  which  I  said  unto  thee.  Set  it  by  thee. 

24  Ana  the  cook  took  up  the  Hhigh,  and  that  which 
was  upon  it,  and  set  it  before  Saul.  And  Sam'u-el 
said.  Behold  that  which  hath  been  reserved!  set  it 
before  thee  and  eat;  because  unto  the  appointed  time 
hath  it  been  kept  for  thee,  'for  I  said,  I  have  invited 
the  people.     So  Saul  did  eat  with  Sam'u-el  that  day. 

25  And  when  they  were  come  down  from  the  high  place

into  the  city,  Sam'u-el  communed  with  Saul  upon  "the  top 
of  the  house. 

26  And  they  arose  early :  and  it  came  to  pass  about  the  spring 
of  the  day  that  Sam'u-el  called  Saul  to  the  top  of  the  house, 
saying,  Up,  that  J  may  send  thee  away.  And  Saul  arose, 
and  they  went  out  both  of  them,  he  and  Sam'u-el,  abroad. 

27  And  as  they  were  going  down  to  the  end  of  the  city, 
Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul,  Bid  the  servant  pass  on  before  us,(and  he 
passed  on,)  but  stand  thou  still  fa  while,  that  I  may  shew  thee 
the  Avord  of  God. 

CHAPTER  X. 

Samuel  anointeth  Saul— He  confirmeth  him  by  prediction. 

THEN  "Sam'u-el  took  a  vial  of  oil,  and  poured  it  upon  his 
headj^and  kissed  him,  and  said.  Is  it  not  because  "the  Loed 
hath  anointed  thee  to  he  captain  over  ''his  inheritance  ? 

2  When  thou  art  departed  from  me  to-day,  then  thou 
shalt  find  two  men  by  ^Ra'chel's  sepulchre  in  the  border  of 
Ben'ja-min-'at  Zel'zah  |  and  they  will  say  unto  thee.  The  asses 
which  thou  wentest  to  seek  are  found:  and,  lo,  thy  father 
hath  left  fthe  care  of  the  asses,  and  sorroweth  for  you, 
saying,  What  shall  I  do  for  my  son  ? 

3  Then  shalt  thou  go  on  forward  from  thence,  and  thou 
shalt  come  to  the  plain  of  Ta'bor,  and  there  shall  meet  thee 
three  men  going  up  "to  God  to  Beth'-el,  one  carrying  three 
kids,  and  another  carrying  three  loaves  of  bread,  and  another 
carrying  a  bottle  of  wine : 

4  And  they  will  fsalute  thee,  and  give  thee  two  loaves  of 
bread ;  which  thou  shalt  receive  of  their  hands. 

5  After  that  thou  shalt  come  to  ''the  hill  of  God,  'where 
is  the  garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  thou  art  come  thither  to  the  city,  that  thou  shalt  meet  a 
company  of  prophets  coming  down  *from  the  high  place 
with  a  psaltery,  and  a  tabret,  and  a  pipe,  and  a  harp  before 
them  ;  'and  they  shall  prophesy : 

6  And  "'the  Sjiirit  of  the  Lord  will  come  upon  thee,  and  "thou 
shalt  prophesy  with  them,andshaltbeturned  into  anotherman. 

7  And  flet  it  be,  when  thcsa  "signs  are  come  unto  thee, 
■\that  thou  do  as  occasion  serve  thee ;  for  ''God  is  with  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  go  down  before  me  "to  Gil'gal ;  and,  behold, 
I  will  come  down  unto  thee,  to  offer  burnt  offerings,  and  to 
sacrifice  sacrifices  of  peace  offerings :  "'seven  days  shalt  thou 
tarry,  till  I  come  to  thee,  and  shew  thee  what  thou  shalt  do. 

9  ^And  it  was  so,  that  when  he  had  turned  his  fbaek  to 
go  from  Sam'u-el,  God  fgave  him  another  heart:  and  all 
those  signs  came  to  pass  that  day. 

10  And  'when  they  came  thither  to  the  hill,  behold,  'a 
company  of  prophets  met  him;  and  "the  Spirit  of  God  came 
upon  him,  and  he  prophesied  among  them. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  when  all  that  knew  him  beforetime 
saw  that,  behold,  he  prophesied  among  the  prophets,  then 
the  people  said  fone  to  another,  What  is  this  that  is  come 
unto  the  son  of  Kish  ?  "Is  Saul  also  among  the  prophets  ? 

12  And  one  fof  the  same  place  answered  and  said,  But 
"who  is  their  father?  Therefore  it  became  a  proverb.  Is 
Saul  also  among  the  prophets? 

13  And  when  he  had  made  an  end  of  prophesying,  he 
came  to  the  high  place. 

14  ^And  Saul's  uncle  said  unto  him  and  to  his  servant, 
Whither  went  ye?  And  he  said.  To  seek  the  a.sses:  and 
when  we  saw  that  they  were  no  wiiere,  we  came  to  Sam'u-el. 

15  And  Saul's  uncle  said,  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  what 
Sam'u-el  said  unto  you. 

16  And  Saul  said  unto  his  uncle.  He  told  us  plainly  that 
the  asses  were  found.  But  qf  the  matter  of  the  kingdom, 
whereof  Sam'u-el  spake,  he  told  him  not. 

17  ^And  Sam'u-el  called  the  people  together  'unto  the 
Lord  "to  Miz'peh ; 

18  And  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el/Thns  saith  the 
I  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  brought  up  Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt,  and 


into   the   city,  'he   communed  with   Saul   upon  the 

26  housetop.  And  they  arose  early:  and  it  came  to  pass 
about  the  spring  of  the  day,  that  Sam'u-el  called  to 
Saul  on  the  housetop,  saying,  Up,  that  I  may  send 
thee  away.     And  Saul  arose,  and  they  went  out  both 

27  of  them,  he  and  Sam'u-el,  abroad.  As  they  were  going 
down  at  the  end  of  the  city,  Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul,  Bid 
the  servant  pass  on  before  us,  (and  he  passed  on,)  but 

10  stand  thou  still  at  this  time,  that  I  may  cause  thee  to 

hear  the  word  of  God.    Then  Sam'u-el  took  the  vial 

of  oil,  and  poured  it  upon  his  head,  and  kissed  him, 

and  said,  Is  it  not  that  the  Lord  hath  anointed  thee 

2 to  be  prince  over  his  inheritance?  When  thou  art 
departed  from  me  to-day,  then  thou  shalt  find  two 
men  by  Ra'chel's  sepulchre,  in  the  border  of  Ben'ja- 
min  at  Zel'zah;  and  they  will  say  unto  thee.  The 
asses  which  thou  wentest  to  seek  are  found  :  and,  lo, 
thy  father  hath  left  the  care  of  the  asses,  and  takcth 
thought  for  you,  saying.  What  shall  I  do  for  my  son  ? 

3  Then  shalt  thou  go  on  forward  from  thence,  and  thou 
shalt  come  to  the  ^oak  of  Ta'bor,  and  there  shall  meet 
thee  there  three  men  going  up  to  God  to  Beth'-el, 
one  carrying  three  kids,  and  another  carrying  three 
loaves  of  bread,  and  another  carrying  a  ^bottle  of 

4 wine:  and  they  will  salute  thee,  and  give  thee  two 
loaves  of  bread;  which  thou  shalt  receive  of  their 

5  hand.  After  that  thou  shalt  come  to  Hhe  hill  of  God, 
where  is  the  garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  :  and  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  thou  art  come  thither  to  the 
city,  that  thou  shalt  meet  a  band  of  prophets  coming 
down  from  the  high  place  with  a  p-saltery,  and  a 
timbrel,  and  a  pipe,  and  a  harp,  beiore  them;  and 

6 they  shall  be  prophesying:  and  the  spirit  of  the 
Lord  will  come  mightily  upon  thee,  and  thou  shalt 
prophesy  with  them,  and  shalt  be  turned  into  another 

7  man.  And  'let  it  be,  when  these  signs  are  come 
unto  thee,  "that  thou  do  as  occasion  serve  thee;  for 

8  God  is  with  thee.  And  thou  shalt  go  down  before 
me  to  Gil'gal;  and,  behold,  I  will  come  down  unto 
thee,  to  offer  burnt  offerings,  and  to  sacrifice  sacri- 
fices of  peace  offerings :  seven  days  shalt  thou  tarry, 
till  .1  come    unto   thee,  and   shew   thee   what  thou 

9  shalt  do.  And  it  was  so,  that  when  he  had  turned 
his  back  to  go  from  Sam'u-el,  God 'gave  him  another 
heart :  and  all  those  signs  came  to  pass  that  day. 

10  And  when  they  came  thither  to  Hhe  hill,  behold, 
a  band  of  prophets  met  him :  and  the  spirit  of  God 
came  mightily  upon  him,  and  he  prophesied  among 

11  them.  And  it  came  to  pass,  Avhen  all  that  knew 
him  beforetime  saw  that,  behold,  he  prophesied  with 
the  prophets,  then  the  people  said  one  to  another, 
What  is  this  that  is  come  unto  the  son  of  Kish?    Is 

12 Saul  also  among  the  prophets?  And  one  of  the 
same  place  answered  and  said,  And  who  is  their 
father?   Therefore  it  became  a  proverb,  Is  Saul  also 

13 among  the  prophets?  And  Avhen  he  had  made  an 
end  of  prophesying,  he  came  to  the  high  place. 

14  And  Saul's  uncle  said  unto  him  and  to  his  serv- 
ant. Whither  went  ye?  And  he  said,  To  seek  the 
asses:   and  when  we  saw  that  they  were  not  found, 

15  we  came  to  Sam'u-el.     And  Saul's  uncle  said,  Tell 

16  me,  I  pray  thee,  what  Sam'u-cl  said  unto  you.  And 
Saul  said  unto  his  uncle,  He  told  us  plainly  that  the 
asses  were  found.  But  concerning  the  matter  of  the 
kingdom,  whereof  Sam'u-el  spake,  he  told  him  not. 

17  And   Sam'u-el   called   the    people   together   unto 

18  the  Lord  to  Miz'pah;  and  he  said  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of

delivered  you  out  of  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of  all  kingdoms,  and  of  them  that  oppressed  you : 

19  "And  ye  have  this  day  rejected  your  God,  who  himself 
saved  you  out  of  all  your  adversities  and  your  tribulations ; 
and  ye  have  said  unto  him,  Nay,  but  set  a  king  over  us. 
Now  therefore  present  yourselves  before  the  Lord  by  your 
tribes,  and  by  your  thousands. 

20  And  when  Sam'u-el  had  ''caused  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el 
to  come  near,  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  was  taken. 

21  When  he  had  caused  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  to  come 
near  by  their  families,  the  family  of  Ma'tri  was  taken,  and 
Saul  the  son  of  Kish  was  taken  :  and  when  they  sought  him, 
he  could  not  be  found. 

22  Therefore  they  'inquired  of  the  Lord  further,  if  the 
man  should  yet  come  thither.  And  the  Lord  answered. 
Behold,  he  hath  hid  himself  among  the  stuff. 

23  And  they  ran  and  fetched  him  thence :  and  when  he 
stood  among  the  people, -^he  was  higher  than  any  of  the 
people  from  his  shoulders  and  upward. 

24  And  Sam'u-el  said  to  all  the  people.  See  ye  him  "whom 
the  Lord  hath  chosen,  that  there  is  none  like  him  among 
all  the  people?  And  all  the  people  shouted,  and  said, 
*tGrod  save  the  king. 

25  Then  Sam'u-el  told  the  people  'the  manner  of  the  king- 
dom, and  wrote  it  in  a  book,  and  laid  it  up  before  the  Lord. 
And  Sam'u-el  sent  all  the  people  away,  every  man  to  his 
house. 

26  ^And  Saul  also  went  home  *to  Gib'e-ah ;  and  there  went 
with  him  a  band  of  men,  whose  hearts  God  had  touched. 

27  'But  the  ""children  of  Be'li-al  said,  How  shall  this  man 
save  us?  And  they  despised  him,  "and  brought  him  no 
presents.     But  ||he  held  his  peace. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

Nahash  offereth  them  of  Jabesh-gilead  a  reproachful  condition. 

THEN  "Na'hash  the  Am'mon-ite  came  up,  and  encamped 
against ''Ja'besh-gil'e-ad:  andallthemenof  Ja'besh  said  unto 
Na'hash,  ""Make  a  covenant  with  us,  and  we  will  serve  thee. 

2  And  Na'hash  the  Am'mon-ite  answered  them.  On  this  con- 
dition will  I  make  a  covenant  with  you,  that  I  may  thrust  out 
all  your  right  eyes,  and  lay  it /or  ''a  reproach  upon  all  Is'ra-el. 

3  And  the  elders  of  Ja'besh  said  unto  him,  f  Give  us  seven 
days'  respite,  that  we  may  send  messengers  unto  all  the 
coasts  of  Is'ra-el :  and  then,  if  there  be  no  man  to  save  us, 
we  will  come  out  to  thee. 

4  ^Then  came  the  messengers  'to  Gib'e-ah  of  Saul,  and 
told  the  tidings  in  the  ears  of  the  people :  and  ■'all  the 
people  lifted  up  their  voices,  and  wept. 

5  And,  behold,  Saul  came  after  the  herd  out  of  the  field; 
and  Saul  said,  What  aileth  the  people  that  they  weep? 
And  they  told  him  the  tidings  of  the  men  of  Ja'besh. 

6  "And  the  Spirit  of  God  came  upon  Saul  when  he  heard 
those  tidings,  and  his  anger  was  kindled  greatly. 

7  And  he  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and  ''hewed  them  in  pieces, 
and  sent  them  throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Is'ra-el  by  the 
hands  of  messengers,  saying,  'Whosoever  cometh  not  forth 
after  Saul  and  after  Sam'u-el,  so  shall  it  be  done  unto  his 
oxen.  And  the  fear  of  the  Lord  fell  on  the  people,  and 
they  came  out  f  with  one  consent. 

8  And  when  he  numbered  them  in  *Be'zek,  the  children 
'of  Is'ra-el  were  three  hundred  thousand,  and  the  men  of 
Ju'dah  thirty  thousand. 

9  And  they  said  unto  the  messengers  that  came.  Thus  shall 
ye  say  unto  the  men  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad,To-morrow,by  that  time 
the  sun  be  hot,  ye  shall  have  ||help.  And  the  messengers 
came  and  shewed  it  to  the  men  of  Ja'besh ;  and  they  were  glad. 

10  Therefore  the  men  of  Ja'besh  said.  To-morrow  ""we  will 
come  out  unto  you,  and  ye  shall  do  with  us  all  that  seemeth 
good  unto  you. 

11  And  it  was  so  on  the  morrow,  that  "Saul  put  the  people 


I  delivered  you  out  of  the  hand  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  and 
out  of  the  hand  of  all  the  kingdoms  that  oppressed 
19 you:  but  ye  have  this  day  rejected  your  God,  who 
himself  saveth  you  out  of  all  your  calamities  and 
your  distresses;  and  ye  have  said  unto  him.  Nay, 
but  set  a  king  over  us.  Now  therefore  present  your- 
selves before  the  Lord  by  your  tribes,  and  by  your 

20  thousands.  So  Sam'u-el  brought  all  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el  near,  and  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  was  taken. 

21  And  he  brought  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  near  by  their 
families,  and  the  family  of  the  Ma'trites  was  taken' : 
and  Saul  the  son  of  Kish  was  taken ;  but  when  they 

22  sought  him,  he  could  not  be  found.  Therefore  they 
asked  of  the  Lord  further,  ^Is  there  yet  a  man  to 
come  hither  ?     And  the  Lord  answered.  Behold,  he 

23  hath  hid  himself  among  the  stuff.  And  they  ran 
and  fetched  him  thence ;  and  when  he  stood  among 
the  people,  he  was  higher  than  any  of  the  people 

24  from  his  shoulders  and  upward.  And  Sam'u-el  said 
to  all  the  people.  See  ye  him  whom  the  Lord  hath 
chosen,  that  there  is  none  like  him  among  all  the 
people  ?  And  all  the  peoDle  shouted,  and  said,  ^God 
save  the  king. 

25  Then  Sam'u-el  told  the  people  the  manner  of  the 
kingdom,  and  wrote  it  in  *a  book,  and  laid  it  up  be- 
fore the  Lord.     And  Sam'u-el  sent  all  the  people 

26  away,  every  man  to  his  house.  And  Saul  also  went 
to  his  house  to  Gib'e-ah ;  and  there  went  with  him 

27  the  "host,  whose  hearts  God  had  touched.  But  cer- 
tain ^sons  of  'Be'li-al  said.  How  shall  this  man  save 
us  ?  And  they  despised  him,  and  brought  him  no 
present.     'But  he  held  his  peace. 

+4-  Then  Na'hash  the  Am'mon-ite  came  up,  and  en- 
camped against  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad :  and  all  the  men  of 
Ja'besh  said  unto  Na'hash,  Make  a  covenant  with  ns 

2  and  we  will  serve  thee.     And  Na'hash  the  Am'mon 
ite  said  unto  them,  On  this  condition  will  I  make  it 
with  you,  that  all  your  right  eyes  be  put  out ;  and  I 

3  will  lay  it  for  a  reproach  upon  all  Is'ra-el.  And  the 
elders  of  Ja'besh  said  unto  him.  Give  us  seven  days' 
respite,  that  we  may  send  messengers  unto  all  the 
borders  of  Is'ra-el :  and  then,  if  there  be  none  to  save 

4  us,  we  will  come  out  to  thee.  Then  came  the  mes- 
sengers to  Gib'e-ah  of  Saul,  and  spake  these  words  in 
the  ears  of  the  people :  and  all  the  people  lifted  up 

5  their  voice,  and  wept.     And,  behold,  Saul  came  fol 
lowing  the   oxen  out  of  the  field;   and  Saul  said. 
What  aileth  the  people  that  they  weep  ?     And  they 

6  told  him  the  words  of  the  men  of  Ja'besh.  And  the 
spirit  of  God  came  mightily  upon  Saul  when  he 
heard  those  words,  and  his  anger  was  kindled  greatly, 

7  And  he  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and  cut  them  in  pieces, 
and  sent  them  throughout  all  the  borders  of  Is'ra-el 
by  the  hand  of  messengers,  saying.  Whosoever  com- 
eth not  forth  after  Saul  and  after  Sam'u-el,  so  shall  it 
be  done  unto  his  oxen.  And  'the  dread  of  the  Lord 
fell  on  the  people,  and  they  came  out  as  one  man. 

8  And  he  numbered  them  in  Be'zek ;  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  were  three  hundred  thousand,  and  the  men 

9  of  Ju'dah  thirty  thousand.  And  they  said  unto  the 
messengers  that  came.  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  the 
men  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad,  To-morrow,  by  the  time  the 
sun  is  hot,  ye  shall  have  deliverance.  And  the  mes- 
sengers came  and  told  the  men  of  Ja'besh ;  and  they 

10  were  glad.  Therefore  the  men  of  Ja'besh  said,  To- 
morrow we  will  come  out  unto    you,  and  ye  shall 

lido  with  us  all  that  seemeth  good  unto  you.  And 
it  was  so  on  the  morrow,  that  Saul  put  the  people

"in  three  companies;  and  they  came  into  the  midst  of  the 
host  in  the  morning  watch,  and  slew  the  Am'mon-ites  until 
the  heat  of  the  day :  and  it  came  to  pass,  that  they  which 
remained  were  scattered,  so  that  two  of  them  were  not  left 
together. 

12  ^And  the  people  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  "Who  is  he  that 
said,  Shall  Saul  reign  over  us?  'bring  the  men,  that  we 
may  put  them  to  death. 

13  And  Saul  said,  "There  shall  not  a  man  be  put  to  death 
this  day:  for  to-day  'the  Loed  bath  wrought  salvation  in 
Is'ra-el. 

14  Then  said  Sam'u-el  to  the  people.  Come,  and  let  us  go 
'to  Gil'gal,  and  renew  the  kingdom  there. 

15  And  all  the  people  went  to  Gil'gal;  and  there  they 
made  Saul  king  "before  the  Lord  in  Gil'gal;  and  "there 
they  sacrificed  sacrifices  of  peace  ofierings  before  the  Lord  ; 
and  there  Saul  and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  rejoiced  greatly. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Samuel  testifietk  his  integrity. 

AND  Sam'u-el  said  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I  have  heark- 
ened unto  "your  voice  in  all  that  ye  said  unto  me,  and 
'have  made  a  king  over  you. 

2  And  now,  behold,  the  king  "walketh  before  you :  ''and  I 
am  old  and  grayheaded;  and,  behold,  my  sons  are,  with 
you:  and  I  have  walked  before  you  from  my  childhood 
unto  this  day. 

3  Behold,  here  I  am:  witness  against  me  before  the  Lord, 
and  before  ■''his  anointed :  "whose  ox  have  I  taken  ?  or  whose 
ass  have  I  taken  ?  or  whom  have  I  defrauded  ?  whom  have  I 
oppressed?  or  of  whose  hand  have  I  received  any  fbribe 
II  to  *blind  mine  eyes  therewith?  and  I  will  restore  it  you. 

4  And  they  said.  Thou  hast  not  defrauded  us,  nor  op- 
pressed us,  neither  hast  thou  taken  aught  of  any  man's  hand. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them.  The  Lord  is  witness  against  you, 
and  his  anointed  is  witness  this  day,  *that  ye  have  not  found 
aught  *in  mine  hand.     And  they  answered,  He  is  witness. 

6  ^And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the  people,  'It  is  the  Lord 
that  1 1  advanced  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  and  that  brought  your 
fathers  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

7  Now  therefore  stand  still,  that  I  may  "reason  with  you 
before  the  Lord  of  all  the  frighteous  acts  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  did  fto  you  and  to  your  fathers. 

8  "When  Ja'cob  was  come  into  E'gypt,  and  your  fathers 
"cried  unto  the  Lord,  then  the  Lord  "sent  Mo'ses  and 
Aa'ron,  which  brought  forth  your  fathers  out  of  E'gypt,  and 
made  them  dwell  in  this  place. 

9  And  when  they  'forgat  the  Lord  their  God,  ""he  sold 
them  into  the  hand  of  Sis'e-ra,  captain  of  the  host  of  Ha'zor, 
and  into  the  hand  of 'the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  'of  Mo'ab,  and  they  fought  against  them. 

10  And  they  cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  "We  have 
sinned,  because  we  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  ''and  have 
served  Ba'al-im  and  Ash'ta-roth :  but  now  "deliver  us  out  of 
the  hand  of  our  enemies,  and  we  will  serve  thee. 

1 1  And  the  Lord  sent ' Je-rub'ba-al,  and  Be'dan,  and  " Jeph'- 
thah,  and  'Sam'u-el,  and  delivered  you  out  of  the  hand  of 
your  enemies  on  every  side,  and  ye  dwelt  safe. 

12  And  when  ye  saw  that  "^Na'hash  the  king  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon  came  against  you,  ''ye  said  unto  me.  Nay ; 
but  a  king  shall  reign  over  us :  when  'the  Lord  your  God 
was  your  king. 

13  Now  therefore,  •'^behold  the  king  "whom  ye  have 
chosen,  and  whom  ye  have  desired  I  and,  behold,  *the  Lord 
hath  set  a  king  over  you. 

14  If  ye  will  'fear  the  Lord,  and  serve  him,  and  obey  his 
voice,  and  not  rebel  against  the  fcommandraent  of  the 
Lord;  then  shall  both  ye  and  also  the  king  that  reigneth 
over  you  fcontinue  following  the  Lord  your  God : 

15  But  if  ye  will  *not  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  but 


in  three  companies;  and  they  came  into  the  midst 
of  the  camp  in  the  morning  watch,  and  smote  the 
Am'mon-ites  until  the  heat  of  the  day :  and  it  came  to 
pass,  that  they  which   remained  were  scattered,  so 

12  that  two  of  them  were  not  left  together.  And  the 
people  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  Who  is  he  that  said,  Shall 
Saul  reign  over  us  ?  bring  the  men,  that  we  may  put 

13  them  to  death.  And  Saul  said.  There  shall  not  a 
man  be  put  to  death  this  day :  for  to-day  the  Lord 
hath  wrought  'deliverance  in  Is'ra-el. 

14  Then  said  Sam'u-el  to  the  people,  Come  and  let  us 

15  go  to  Gil'gal,  and  renew  the  kingdom  there.  And 
all  the  people  went  to  Gil'gal ;  and  there  they  made 
Saul  king  before  the  Lord  in  Gil'gal ;  and  there  they 
sacrificed  sacrifices  of  peace  offerings  before  the 
Lord  ;  and  there  Saul  and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  re- 
joiced greatly. 

i-i^  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I  have 
hearkened  unto  your  voice  in  all  that  ye  said  unto 

2  me,  and  have  made  a  king  over  you.  And  now, 
behold,  the  king  walketh  before  you :  and  I  am  old 
and  grayheaded;  and,  behold,  my  sons  are  with 
you :  and  I  have  walked  before  you  from  my  youth 

3 unto  this  day.  Here  I  am:  witness  against  me 
before  the  Lord,  and  before  his  anointed :  whose  ox 
have  I  taken  ?  or  whose  ass  have  I  taken  ?  or  whom 
have  I  defrauded?  whom  have  I  oppressed?  or  of 
whose  hand  have  I  taken  a  ^ransom  ^to  blind  mine 

4  eyes  therewith  ?  and  I  will  restore  it  you.  And  they 
said.  Thou  hast  not  defrauded  us,  nor  oppressed  us, 
neither  hast  thou  taken  aught  of  any  man's   hand. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them.  The  Lord  is  witness  against 
you,  and  his  anointed  is  witness  this  day,  that  ye 
have  not  found  aught  in  my  hand.     And  they  said, 

6  He  is  witness.  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the  people,  It 
is  the  Lord  that  Appointed  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron,  and  that 

7  brought  your  fathers  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt.  Now 
therefore  stand  still,  that  I  may  plead  with  you  before 
the  Lord  concerning  all  the  righteous  acts  of  the 
Lord,  which   he  did   to  you  and   to  your  fathers. 

8  When  Ja'cob  was  come  into  E'gypt,  and  your  fathers 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  then  the  Lord  sent  Mo'ses  and 
Aa'ron,  who  brought  forth  your  fathers  out  of  E'gypt, 

9  and  made  them  to  dwell  in  this  place.  But  they 
forgat  the  Lord  their  God,  and  he  sold  them  into 
the  hand  of  Sis'e-ra,  captain  of  the  host  of  Ha'zor,  and 
into  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Mo'ab,  and  they  fought  against  them 

10  And  they  cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  We  have 
sinned,  because  we  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  and 
have  served  the  Ba'al-im  and  the  Ash'ta-roth :  but  now 
deliver  us  out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies,  and  we 

1 1  will  serve  thee.  And  the  Lord  sent  Je-rub'ba-al,  and 
'Be'dan,  and  Jeph'thah,  and  Sam'u-el,  and  delivered 
you  out  of  the  hand  of  your  enemies  on  every  side, 

1 2  and  ye  dwelled  in  safety.  And  when  ye  saw  that  Na'- 
hash  the  king  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  came  against 
you,  ye  said,  unto  me.  Nay,  but  a  king  shall  reign 
over  us:  when  the  Lord  your  God  was  your  king. 

13  Now  therefore  behold  the  king  whom  ye  have  chosen, 
and  whom  ye  have  asked  for :  and,  behold,  the  Lord 

14  hath  set  a  king  over  you.  If  ye  will  fear  the  Lord, 
and  serve  him,  and  hearken  unto  his  voice,  and  not 
rebel  against  the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  'and 
both  ye  and  also  the  king  that  reigneth  over  you 

15  be  followers  of  the  Lord  your  God,  well:  but  if  ye

the  Lord  will  do  before  your  eyes.    • 

n  Is  it  not  "wheat  harvest  to-day?  °I  will  call  unto  the

CHAPTER  XIII. 

SauVs  selected  band — He  calleth  the  Hebrews  to  Gilgal. 

SAUL  freigned  one  year;  and  when  he  had  reigned  two 
years  over  Is'ra-el, 

2  Saul  chose  him  three  thousand  men  of  Is'ra-el ;  whereof 
two  thousand  were  with  Saul  in  Mich'mash  and  in  mount 
Beth'-el,  and  a  thousand  were  with  Jon'a-than  in  "Gib'e-ah 
of  Ben'ja-min :  and  the  rest  of  the  people  he  sent  every 
man  to  his  tent. 

3  And  Jon'a-than  smote  'the  garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
that  was  in  [[Ge'ba;  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  of  it.  And 
Saul  blew  the  trumpet  throughout  all  the  land,  saying.  Let 
the  He'brews  hear. 

4  And  all  Is'ra-el  heard  say  that  Saul  had  smitten  a  gar- 
rison of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  that  Is'ra-el  also  fwas  had  in 
abomination  with  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  the  people  were 
called  together  after  Saul  to  Gil'gal. 

5  ^And  the  Phi-lis'tines  gathered  themselves  together  to 
fight  with  Is'ra-el,  thirty  thousand  chariots,  and  six  thousand 
horsemen,  and  people  as  the  sand  which  is  on  the  sea  shore 
in  multitude :  and  they  came  up,  and  pitched  in  Mich'mash, 
eastward  from  Beth-a'ven. 

6  When  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  saw  that  they  were  in  a  strait, 
(for  the  people  were  distressed,)  then  the  people  "did  hide 
themselves  in  caves,  and  in  thickets,  and  in  rocks,  and  in 
high  places,  and  in  pits. 

7  And  some  of  the  He'brews  went  over  Jor'dan  to  the  land 
of  Gad  and  Gil'e-ad.  As  for  Saul,  he  was  yet  in  Gil'gal,  and 
all  the  people  ffollowed  him  trembling. 

8  T|''And  he  tarried  seven  days,  according  to  the  set  time 
that  Sam'u-el  had  appointed:  but  Sam'u-el  came  not  to 
Gil'gal ;  and  the  people  were  scattered  from  hira. 

9  And  Saul  said.  Bring  hither  a  burnt  offering  to  me,  and 
peace  offerings.     And  he  offered  the  burnt  offering. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  as  soon  as  he  had  made  an 
end  of  offering  the  burnt  offering,  behold,  Sam'u-el  came ; 
and  Saul  went  out  to  meet  him,  that  he  might  fsalute  him. 

11  ^And  Sam'u-el  said.  What  hast  thou  done?  And 
Saul  said.   Because   I  saw  that  the  people  were  scattered 


rebel  against  the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  then 
shall  the  hand   of  the   Lord   be    against  you,  'as 

16  it  was  against  your  fathers.  Now  therefore  stand 
still  and  see  this  great  thing,  which  the  Lord  will 

17  do  before  your  eyes.  Is  it  not  wheat  harvest  to- 
day ?  I  will  call  unto  the  Lord,  that  he  may  send 
thunder  and  rain ;  and  ye  shall  know  and  see  that 
your  wickedness  is  great,  which  ye  have  done  in 

18  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  in  asking  you  a  king.  So 
Sam'u-el  called  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  sent 
thunder  and  rain    that    day:    and    all   the    j^eople 

19  greatly  feared  the  Lord  and  Sam'u-el.  And  all  the 
people  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  Pray  for  thy  servants  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God,  that  we  die  not:  for  we  have 
added  unto  all  our  sins  this  evil,  to  ask  us  a  king. 

20 And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  the  people.  Fear  not:  ye 
have  indeed  done  all  this  evil:  yet  turn  not  aside 
from  following  the  Lord,  but  serve  the  Lord  with 

21  all  your  heart;  %nd  turn  ye  not  aside:  for  then 
should  ye  go  after  vain  things  which  cannot  profit  nor 

22  deliver,  for  they  are  vain.  For  the  Lord  will  not  for- 
sake his  people  for  his  great  name's  sake :  because  it 
hath  pleased  the  Lord  to  make  you  a  people  unto 

23  himself  Moreover  as  for  me,  God  forbid  that  I 
should  sin  against  the  Lord  in  ceasing  to  pray  for 
you :  but  I  will  instruct  you  in  the  good  and  the  right 

24  way.  Only  fear  the  Lord,  and  serve  him  in  truth 
with  all  your  heart:  for  consider  how  great  things 

25  he  hath  done  for  you.  But  if  ye  shall  still  do  wick- 
edly, ye  shall  be  consumed,  both  ye  and  your  king. 

-l-t)  Saul  was  \^thirty'\  years  old  when  he  began  to 
2 reign;  and  he  reigned  two  years  over  Is'ra-el.  And 
Saul  chose  him  three  thousand  men  of  Is'ra-el ;  where- 
of two  thousand  were  with  Saul  in  Mich'mash  and  in 
the  mount  of  Beth'-el,  and  a  thousand  were  with 
Jon'a-than  in  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min:  and  the  restofthe 

3  people  he  sent  every  man  to  his  tent.  And  Jon'a- 
than  smote  the  garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  that  was  in 
Ge'ba  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  of  it.  And  Saul 
blew  the  trumpet  throughout  all  the  land,  saying, 

4  Let  the  He'brews  hear.  And  all  Is'ra-el  heard  say  that 
Saul  had  smitten  the  garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and 
that  Is'ra-el  also  was  had  in  abomination  with  the 
Phi-lis'tines.  And  the  people  were  gathered  to- 
gether after  Saul  to  Gil'gal. 

5  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  assembled  themselves  together 
to  fight  with  Is'ra-el,  thirty  thousand  chariots,  and  six 
thousand  horsemen,  and  people  as  the  sand  which  is 
on  the  sea  shore  in  multitude :  and  they  came  up, 
and  pitched  in  Mich'mash,  eastward  of  Beth-a'ven. 

6  When  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  saw  that  they  were  in  a 
strait,  (for  the  people  were  distressed,)  then  the 
people  did  hide  themselves  in  caves,  and  in  thickets, 

7  and  in  rocks,  and  in  *holds,  and  in  °pits.  Now  some 
of  the  He'brews  had  gone  over  Joi''dan  to  the  land  of 
Gad  and  Gil'e-ad;  but  as  for  Saul,  he  was  yet  in 
Gil'gal,  and  all  the  people  followed  him  trembling. 

8  And  he  tarried  seven  days,  according  to  the  set 
time  that  Sam'u-el  had  appointed :  but  Sam'u-el  came 
not  to  Gil'gal;  and  the  people  were  scattered  from 

9  him.  And  Saul  said.  Bring  hither  the  burnt  offer-

lOfered  the  burnt  offering.  And  it  came  to  paiss  that, 
as  soon  as  he  had  made  an  end  of  offering  the 
burnt  offering,  behold,  Sam'u-el  came ;  and  Saul  went 

11  out  to  meet  him,  that  he  might  'salute  him.  And

from  me,  and  that  thou  earnest  not  within  the  days  ap- 
pointed, and  that  the  Phi-lis' tines  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether at  Mich'niash ; 

12  Therefore  said  I,  The  Phi-Iis'tines  will  come  down  now 
upon  me  to  Gil'gal,  and  I  have  not  fmade  supplication  unto  the 
Lord:  I  forced  myself  therefore,  and  offered  a  burnt  offering. 

13  And  Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul,  ^Thou  hast  done  foolishly: 
•'^thou  hast  not  kept  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  he  commanded  thee :  for  now  would  the  Lord 
have  established  thy  kingdom  upon  Is'ra-el  for  ever. 

14  "But  now  thy  kingdom  shall  not  continue :  ''the  Lord 
hath  sought  him  a  man  after  his  own  heart,  and  the  Lord 
hath  commanded  him  to  be  captain  over  his  people,  because 
thou  hast  not  kept  that  which  the  Lord  commanded  thee. 

15  And  Sam'u-el  arose,  and  gat  him  up  from  Gil'gal  unto 
Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min.  And  Saul  numbered  the  people 
that  toere  fpresent  with  him,  about  'six  hundred  men. 

16  And  Saul,  and  Jon'a-than  his  son,  and  the  people  that 
were  present  with  them,  abode  in  f  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min  : 
but  the  Phi-lis'tines  encamped  in  Mieh'mash. 

17  Tf  And  the  spoilers  came  out  of  the  camp  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines in  three  companies:  one  company  turned  unto  the 
way  that  Uadeth  to  *Oph'rah,  unto  the  land  of  Shu'al : 

18  And  another  company  turned  the  way  to  'Beth-ho'ron : 
and  another  company  turned  to  the  way  of  the  border  that 
looketh  to  the  valley  of  ""Ze-bo'im  toward  the  wilderness. 

19  T[Now  "there  was  no  smith  found  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el :  for  the  Phi-lis'tines  said.  Lest  the  He'brews 
make  them  swords  or  spears: 

20  But  all  the  Is'ra  el-ites  went  down  to  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
to  sharpen  every  man  his  share,  and  his  coulter,  and  his  axe, 
and  his  mattock. 

21  Yet  they  had  fa  file  for  the  mattocks,  and  for  the 
coulters,  and  for  the  forks,  and  for  the  axes,  and  f  to  sharpen 
the  goads. 

22  So  it  came  to  pass  in  the  day  of  battle,  that  "there  was 
neither  sword  nor  spear  found  in  the  hand  of  any  of  the 
people  that  were  with  Saul  and  Jon'a-than:  but  with  Saul 
and  with  Jon'a-than  his  son  was  there  found. 

23  "And  the  ||  garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  out  to  the 
passage  of  Mieh'mash.

Jonathan  goeth  and  miraculously  smiteih  the  Philistines^  garrison. 

"VTOW  II  it  came  to  pass  upon  a  day,  that  Jon'a-than  the 
-L^  son  of  Saul  said  unto  the  young  man  that  "bare  his 
armour.  Come,  and  let  us  go  over  to  the  Phi-lis'tines'  gar- 
rison, that  is  on  the  other  side.     But  he  told  not  his  father. 

2  And  Saul  tarried  in  the  uttermost  part  of  Gib'e-ah  under 
a  pomegranate  tree  which  is  in  Mig'ron :  and  the  people 
that  were  with  him  were  "about  six  hundred  men ; 

3  And  'A-hi'ah,  the  son  of  A-hi'tub,  "Ich'a-bod's  brother, 
the  son  of  Phin'e-has,  the  son  of  E'li,  the  Lord's  priest  in 
Shi'loh,  ''wearing  an  ephod.  And  the  people  knew  not  that 
Jon'a-than  was  gone. 

4  ^And  between  the  passages  by  which  Jon'a-than  sought  to 
go  over 'unto  the  Phi-lis'tines'  garrison,  there  was  a  sharp  rock 
on  the  one  side,  and  a  sharp  rock  on  the  other  side ;  and  the 
name  of  the  one  was  Bo'zez,  and  the  name  of  the  other  Se'neh.

Mieh'mash,  and  the  other  southward  over  against  Gib'e-ah. 

6  And  Jon'a-than  said  to  the  young  man  that  bare  his  armour. 
Come,  and  let  us  go  over  unto  the  garrison  of  these  uncir- 
cumcised :  it  may  be  that  the  Lord  will  work  for  us :  for 
th£re  is  no  restraint  to  the  Lord  -to  save  by  many  or  by  few. 

7  And  his  armourbearer  said  unto  him.  Do  all  that  is  in 
thine  heart :  turn  thee ;  behold,  I  am  with  thee  according 
to  thy  heart. 

8  Then  said  Jon'a-than,  Behold,  we  will  pass  over  unto 
these  men,  and  we  will  discover  ourselves  unto  them. 


from  me,  and  that  thou  camest  not  within  the  days 
appointed,  and  that  the  Phi-lis'tines  assembled  them- 
12 selves  together  at  Mieh'mash;  therefore  said  I,  Now 
will  the  Phi-lis'tines  come  down  upon  me  to  Gil'gal, 
and  I  have  not  intreated  the  favour  of  the  liORD  :  I 
forced  myself  therefore,  and  offered  the  burnt  offer- 

13  ing.  And  Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul,  Thou  hast  done  fool- 
ishly :  thou  hast  not  kept  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  which  he  commanded  thee :  for  now 
would  the  Lord  have  established  thy  kingdom  upon 

14  Is'ra-el  for  ever.  But  now  thy  kingdom  shall  not  con- 
tinue :  the  Lord  hath  sought  him  a  man  after  his 
own  heart,  and  the  Lord  hath  appointed  him  to  be 
prince  over  his  people,  because  thou  hast  not  kept 
that  which  the  Lord  commanded  thee. 

15  And  Sam'u-el  arose,  and.  gat  him  up  from  Gil'gal 
unto  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min.  And  Saul  numbered 
the  people   that  were   present  with  him,  about  six 

16  hundred  men.  And  Saul,  and  Jon'a-than  his  son,  and 
the  people  that  were  present  with  them,  abode  in 
Ge'ba  of  Ben'ja-min :  but  the  Phi-lis'tines  encamped 

17  in  Mieh'mash.  And  the  spoilers  came  out  of  the 
camp  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  in  three  companies :  one 
company  turned  unto  the  way  that  leadeth  to  Oph'rah, 

18  unto  the  land  of  Shu'al :  and  another  company  turned 
the  way  to  Beth-ho'ron :  and  another  company  turned 
the  way  of  the  border  that  looketh  down  upon  the 
valley  of  Ze-bo'im  toward  the  wilderness. 

19  Now  there  was  no  smith  found  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el;  for  the  Phi-lis'tines  said.  Lest  the 

20  He'brews  make  them  swords  or  spears :  but  all  the  Is'-

every  man  his  share,  and  his  coulter,  and  his  axe,  and 

21  his  mattock ;  'yet  they  had  a  file  for  the  mattocks, 
and   for  the  coulters,  and  for  the  forks,  and  for  the 

22  axes ;  and  to  set  the  goads.  So  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
day  of  battle,  that  there  was  neither  sword  nor  spear 
found  in  the  hand  of  any  of  the  people  that  were  with 
Saul  and  Jon'a-than :  but  with  Saul  and  with  Jon'a- 

23  than  his  son  was  there  found.  And  the  garrison  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines  went  out  unto  the  pass  of  Mieh'mash. 

-L'^  Now  it  fell  upon  a  day,  that  Jon'a-than  the  son  of

Come  and  let  us  go  over  to  the  Phi-lis'tines' garrison, 
that  is  on  yonder  side.     But  he  told  not  his  father. 

2  And  Saul  abode  in  the  uttermost  part  of  Gib'e-ah 
under  the  pomegranate  tree  which  is  in  Mig'ron :  and 
the  people  that  were  with  him  were  about  six  hun-

brother,  the  son  of  Phin'e-has,  the  son  of  E'li,  the  priest 
of  the  Lord  in  Shi'loh,  wearing  an  ephod.     And  the 

4  people  knew  not  that  Jon'a-than  was  gone.  And  be- 
tween the  passes,  by  which  Jon'a-than  sought  to  go 
over  unto  the  Phi-lis'tines'  garrison,  there  was  a  rocky 
crag  on  the  one  side,  and  a  rocky  crag  on  the  other 
side :  and  the  name  of  the  one  was  Bo'zez,  and  the 

5  name  of  the  other  Se'neh.  The  one  crag  rose  up 
on  the  north  in  front  of  Mieh'mash,  and  the  other 

6  on  the  south  in  front  of  Ge'ba.  And  Jon'a-than  said 
to  the  young  man  that  bare  his  armour.  Come  and 
let  us  go  over  unto  the  garrison  of  these  uncir- 
cumcised:  it  may  be  that  the  Lord  will  work  for 
us:    for  there  is  no  restraint  to  the  Lord  to  save 

7  by  many  or  by  few.  And  his  armourbearer  said 
unto  him,  Do  all  that  is  in  thine  heart:  turn  thee, 
behold   I   am   with   thee   according    to   thy    heart. 

8  Then  said  Jon'a-than,  Behold,  we  will  pass  over  unto 
the  men,  and  we  will  discover  ourselves  unto  them.

9  If  they  say  thus  unto  us,  fTarry  until  we  come  to 
you;  then  we  will  stand  still  in  our  place,  and  will  not 
go  up  unto  them. 

10  But  if  they  say  thus,  Come  up  unto  us;  then  we  will 
go  up:  for  the  Lord  hath  delivered  them  into  our  hand; 
and  "this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  us. 

11  And  both  of  them  discovered  themselves  unto  the  gar- 
rison of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  said.  Behold, 
the  He'brews  come  forth  out  of  the  holes  where  they  had 
hid  themselves. 

12  And  the  men  of  the  garrison  answered  Jon'a-than  and 
his  armourbearer,  and  said.  Come  up  to  us,  and  we  will 
shew  you  a  thing.  And  Jon'a-than  said  unto  his  armour- 
bearer.  Come  up  after  me :  for  the  Lord  hath  delivered  them 
into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el. 

13  And  Jon'a-than  climbed  up  upon  his  hands  and  upon 
his  feet,  and  his  armourbearer  after  him:  and  they  fell  be- 
fore Jon'a-than ;  and  his  armourbearer  slew  after  him. 

14  And  that  first  slaughter,which  Jon'a-than  and  his  armour- 
bearer  made,  was  about  twenty  men,  within  as  it  were  ||a 
half  acre  of  land,  which  a  yoke  of  oxen  might  plough. 

15  And  'there  was  trembling  in  the  host,  in  the  field,  and 
among  all  the  people :  the  garrison,  and  *the  spoilers,  they 
also  trembled,  and  the  earth  quaked :  so  it  was  fa  very 
great  trembling. 

16  And  the  watchmen  of  Saul  in  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-min 
looked;  and,  behold,  the  multitude  melted  away,  and  they 
""went  on  beating  down  one  another. 

17  Then  said  Saul  unto  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
Number  now,  and  see  who  is  gone  from  us.  And  when 
they  had  numbered,  behold,  Jon'a-than  and  his  armour- 
bearer  were  not  there. 

18  And  Saul  said  unto  A-hi'ah,  Bring  hither  the  ark  of 
God.  For  the  ark  of  God  was  at  that  time  with  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el. 

19  ^And  it  came  to  pass  while  Saul  "talked  unto  the 
priest,  that  the  ||  noise  that  was  in  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
went  on,  and  increased:  and  Saul  said  unto  the  priest. 
Withdraw  thine  hand. 

20  And  Saul  and  all  the  people  that  were  with  him  fas- 
sembled  themselves,  and  they  came  to  the  battle:  and,  be- 
hold, "every  man's  sword  was  against  his  fellow,  and  there 
was  a  very  great  discomfiture. 

21  Moreover,  the  He'brews  that  were  with  the  Phi-lis'tines 
before  that  time,  which  went  up  with  them  into  the  camp 
from  the  country  round  about,  even  they  also  turned  to  be 
with  the  Is'ra-el-ites  that  were  with  Saul  and  Jon'a-than. 

22  Likewise  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  which  "had  hid  them- 
&elves  in  mount  E'phra-im,  when  they  heard  that  the  Phi- 
lis'tines  fled,  even  they  also  followed  hard  after  them  in 
the  battle. 

23  «So  the  Lord  saved  Is'ra-el  that  day:  and  the  battle 
passed  over  ""unto  Beth-a'ven. 

24  ^And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  were  distressed  that  day:  for 
Saul  had  'adjured  the  people,  saying.  Cursed  be  the  man 
that  eatcth  any  food  until  evening,  that  I  may  be  avenged 
on  mine  enemies.     So  none  of  the  people  tasted  any  food. 

25  'And  all  they  of  the  land  came  to  a  wood ;  and  there 
was  "honey  upon  the  ground. 

26  And  when  the  people  were  come  into  the  wood,  be- 
hold, the  honey  dropped :  but  no  man  put  his  hand  to  his 
mouth:  for  the  people  feared  the  oath. 

27  But  Jon'a-than  heard  not  when  his  father  charged 
the  people  with  the  oath :  wherefore  he  put  forth  the  end 
of  the  rod  that  was  in  his  hand,  and  dipped  it  in  a 
honeycomb,  and  put  his  hand  to  his  mouthy  and  his  eyes 
were  enlightened. 

28  Then  answered  cne  of  the  people,  and  said,  Thy 
fiither   straitly   charged   the  people  with  an   oath,  saying. 


9  If  they  say  thus  unto  us,  Tarry  until  we  come  to 
you;  then  we  will  stand  still  in  our  place,  and  will 

10  not  go  up  unto  them.  But  if  they  say  thus,  Come 
up  unto  us ;  then  we  will  go  up :  for  the  Lord  hath 
deliv^ered  them  into  our  hand :  and  this  shall  be  the 

11  sign  unto  us.  And  both  of  them  discovered  them- 
selves unto  the  garrison  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  :  and  the 
Phi-lis'tines  said.  Behold,  the  He'brews  come  forth 
out  of  the  holes  where   they   had  hid  themselves. 

12  And  the  men  of  the  garrison  answered  Jon'a-than 
and  his  armourbearer,  and  said.  Come  up  to  us, 
and  we  will  shew  you  a  thing.  And  Jon'a-than  said 
unto  his  armourbearer,  Come  up  after  me:  for  the 
Lord  hath  delivered  them  into  the  hand  of  Is'ra-el. 

13  And  Jon'a-than  climbed  up  upon  his  hands  and  upon 
his  feet,  and  his  armourbearer  after  him:  and  they 
fell  before  Jon'a-than ;  and  his  armourbearer  slew  them 

14  after  him.  And  that  first  slaughter,  which  Jon'a-than 
and  his  armourbearer  made,  was  about  twenty  men, 
within  as  it  were  'half  a  furrow's  length  in  an  acre 

15  of  land.  And  there  was  a  trembling  in  the  camp,  in 
the  field,  and  among  all  the  people ;  the  garrison,  and 
the  spoilers,  they  also  trembled :  and  the  earth  quaked ; 

16  so  there  was  ^an  exceeding  great  trembling.  And 
the  watchmen  of  Saul  in  Gib'e-ah  of  Ben'ja-minlooked; 
and,  behold,  the  multitude  melted  away,  and  they 
went  hither  and  thither. 

17  Then  said  Saul  unto  the  people  that  were  with 
him,  Number  now,  and  see  who  is  gone  from  us. 
And  when  they  had  numbered,  behold,  Jon'a-than 

18  and  his  armourbearer  were  not  there.  And  Saul 
said  unto  A-hi'jah,  'Bring  hither  the  ark  of  God.  For 
the  ark  of  God  was  there  at  that  time  *with  the  chil- 

1 9  dren  of  Is'ra-el.  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  Saul 
talked  unto  the  priest,  that  the  tumult  that  was  in 
the  camp  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  on  and  increased: 
and  Saul  said  unto  the  priest.  Withdraw  thine  hand. 

20  And  Saul  and  all  the  people  that  were  with  him 
were  gathered  together,  and  came  to  the  battle :  and, 
behold,  every  man's  sword  was  against  his  fellow, 

21  ajnd  there  was  a  very  great  discomfiture.  Now  the 
Heb'rews  that  were  with  thePhi-  lis' tines  as  befo retime, 
which  went  up  with  them  '^into  the  camp  y^i-om  the 
country  round  about;  even  they  also  turned  to  be 
with  the  Is'ra-el-ites  thatwere  with  Saul  and  Jon'a-than. 

22  Likewise  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  which  had  hid  them- 
selves in  the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im,  when  they 
heard  that  the  Phi-lis'tines  fled,  even  they  also  fol- 

23  lowed  hard  after  them  in  the  battle.  So  the  Lord 
saved  Is'ra-el  that  day :  and  the  battle  passed  over  by 

24  Beth-a'ven.  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  were  distressed 
that  day:  but  Saul  adjured  the  people-  saying. 
Cursed  be  the  man  that  eateth  any  food  until  it  be 
evening,  and  I  be  avenged  on  mine  enemies.     So 

25  none  of  the  people  tasted  food.  And  all  'the  people 
came  into  the  forest;  and  there  was  honey  -upon  the 

26  ground.  And  when  the  people  were  come  unto  the 
forest,  behold,  *the  honey  dropped :  but  no  man  put

28 his  mouth;  and  his  eyes  were  enlightened.  Then 
answered  one  of  the  people,  and  said.  Thy  fether 
straitly   charged   the  people  with  an  oath,  saying,

Cursed  be  the  man  that  eateth  any  food  this  day.  And  the 
people  were  ||  faint. 

29  Then  said  Jon'a-than,  My  father  hath  troubled  the  land : 
see,  I  pray  you,  how  mine  eyes  have  been  enlightened,  be- 
cause I  tasted  a  little  of  this  honey. 

30  How  much  more,  if  haply  the  people  had  eaten  freely 
to-day  of  the  spoil  of  their  enemies  which  they  found  ?  for 
had  there  not  been  now  a  much  greater  slaughter  among 
the  Phi-lis'tines? 

31  And  they  smote  the  Phi-lis'tines  that  day  from  Mich'- 
mash  to  Ai'ja-lon :  and  the  people  were  very  faint. 

32  And  the  people  flew  upon  the  spoil,  and  took  sheep, 
and  oxen,  and  calves,  and  slew  them  on  the  ground:  and 
the  people  did  eat  them  "'with  the  blood. 

33  ^Then  they  told  Saul,  saying.  Behold,  the  people  sin 
against  the  Lord,  in  that  they  eat  with  the  blood.  And  he 
said,  Ye  have  ||  transgressed :  roll  a  great  stone  unto  me 
this  day. 

34  And  Saul  said.  Disperse  yourselves  among  the  people, 
and  say  unto  them,  Bring  me  hither  every  man  his  ox,  and 
every  man  his  sheep,  and  slay  them  here,  and  eat ;  and  sin 
not  against  the  Loed  in  eating  with  the  blood.  And  all  the 
people  brought  every  man  his  ox  f with  him  that  night,  and 
slew  them  there. 

35  And  Saul  "built  an  altar  unto  the  Loed  :  f the  same 
was  the  first  altar  that  he  built  unto  the  Loed. 

36  "^And  Saul  said.  Let  us  go  down  after  the  Phi-lis'tines 
by  night,  and  spoil  them  until  the  morning  light,  and  let  us 
not  leave  a  man  of  them.  And  they  said.  Do  whatsoever 
seemeth  good  unto  thee.  Then  said  the  priest,  Let  us  draw 
near  hither  unto  God. 

37  And  Saul  asked  counsel  of  God,  Shall  I  go  down  after 
the  Phi-lis'tines  ?  wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  the  hand  of 
Is'ra-el?     But  "he  answered  him  not  that  day. 

38  And  Saul  said,  "Draw  ye  near  hither,  all  the  fchief  of 
the  people :  and  know  and  see  wherein  this  sin  hath  been 
this  day. 

39  For,  ^as  the  Lord  liveth,  which  saveth  Is'ra-el,  though 
it  be  in  Jon'a-than  my  son,  he  shall  surely  die.  But  there 
was  not  a  man  among  all  the  people  that  answered  him. 

40  Then  said  he  unto  aU  Is'ra-el,  Be  ye  on  one  side,  and  I 
and  Jon'a-than  my  son  will  be  on  the  other  side.  And  the 
people  said  unto  Saul,  Do  what  seemeth  good  unto  thee. 

41  Therefore  Saul  said  unto  the  Loed  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
"Give  a  perfect  lot.  ''And  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  were  taken : 

but  the  people  f  escaped. 

42  And  Saul  said.  Cast  lots  between  me  and  Jon'a-than  my 
son.     Ajid  Jon'a-than  was  taken. 

43  Then  Saul  said  to  Jon'a-than,  'Tell  me  what  thou  hast 
done.  And  Jon'a-than  told  him,  and  said,  ^1  did  but  taste 
a  little  honey  with  the  end  of  the  rod  that  was  in  mine 
hand,  and,  lo,  I  must  die. 

44  And  Saul  answered,  "God  do  so  and  more  also :  *for 
thou  sbalt  surely  die,  Jon'a-than. 

45  And  the  people  said  unto  Saul,  Shall  Jon'a-than  die,  who 
hath  wrought  this  great  salvation  in  Is'ra-el?  God  forbid  :  'as 
the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall  not  one  hair  of  his  head  fall  to 
the  ground;  for  he  hath  wrought  with  God  this  day.  So 
the  people  rescued  Jon'a-than,  that  he  died  not. 

46  Then  Saul  went  up  from  following  the  Phi-lis'tines : 
and  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  to  their  own  place. 

47  ^So  Saul  took  the  kingdom  over  Is'ra-el,  and  fought 
against  all  his  enemies  on  every  side,  against  Mo'ab,  and 
against  the  children  of  *Am'mon,  and  against  E'dom,  and 
against  the  kings  of  'Zo'bah,  and  against  the  Phi-lis'tines: 
and  whithersoever  he  turned  himself,  he  vexed  them.. 

48  And  he  ||  gathered  a  host,  and  "smote  the  Am'a-lek-ites, 
and  delivered  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  hands  of  them  that  spoiled 
them.  : 


Cursed  be  the  man  that  eateth  food  this  day.  And 
29  the  people  were  faint.  Then  said  Jon'a-than,  My 
father  hath  troubled  the  land :  see,  I  pray  you,  how 
mine  eyes  have  been  enlightened,  because  I  tasted 
SO  a  little  of  this  honey.  How  much  more,  if  haply 
the  people  had  eaten  freely  to-day  of  the  spoil  of 
their  enemies  which  they  found?  'for  now  hath 
there  been  no  great  slaughter  among  the  Phi-lis'- 

31  tines.  And  they  smote  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  that  day 
from  Mich'mash  to  Ai'ja-lon:  and  the  people  were 

32  very  faint.  And  the  people  flew  upon  the  spoil, 
and  took  sheep,  and  oxen,  and  calves,  and  slew 
them  on  the  ground:  and  the  people  did  eat  them 

33  with  the  blood.  Then  they  told  Saul,  saying.  Be- 
hold, the  people  sin  against  the  Loed,  in  that  they 
eat  with  the  blood.  And  he  said.  Ye  have  dealt 
treacherously:  roll  a  great  stone  unto  me  this  day. 

34  And  Saul  said.  Disperse  yourselves  among  the 
people,  and  say  unto  them,  Bring  me  hither  every 
man  his  ox,  and  every  man  his  sheep,  and  slay  them 
here,  and  eat;  and  sin  not  against  the  Lord  in  eat- 
ing with  the  blood.  And  all  the  people  brought 
every  man  his  ox  with  him  that  night,  and  slew  them 

35  there.  And  Saul  built  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  :  the 
same  was  the  first  altar  that  he  built  unto  the  Lord. 

36  And  Saul  said.  Let  us  go  down  after  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines by  night,  and  spoil  them  until  the  morning 
light,  and  let  us  not  leave  a  man  of  them.  And  they 
said.  Do  whatsoever  seemeth  good  unto  thee.  Then 
said  the  priest,  Let  us  draw  near  hither  unto  God. 

37  And  Saul  asked  counsel  of  God,  Shall  I  go  down 
after  the  Phi-lis'tines?  wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  the 
hand  of  Is'ra-el  ?     But  he  answered  him  not  that  day. 

38  And  Saul  said,  Draw  nigh  hither,  all  ye  ^chiefs  of 
the  people :  and  know  and  see  wherein  this  sin  hath 

39  been  this  day.  For,  as  the  Loed  liveth,  which  saveth 
Is'i-a-el,  though  it  be  in  Jon'a-than  my  son,  he  shall 
surely  die.     But  there  was  not  a  man  among  all  the 

40  people  that  answered  him.  Then  said  he  unto  all 
Is'ra-el,  Be  ye  on  one  side,  and  I  and  Jon'a-than  my 
son  will  be  on  the  other  side.  And  the  people 
said  unto  Saul,  Do  what  seemeth  good  unto  thee 

41  Therefore  Saul  said  unto  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  'Shew  the  right.     And  Jon'a-than  and  Saul 

42 were  taken  by  lot:  but  the  people  escaped.  And 
Saul  said.  Cast  lots  between  me  and  Jon'a-than  my 

43  son.  And  Jon'a-than  was  taken.  Then  Saul  said  to 
Jon'a-than,  Tell  me  what  thou  hast  done.  And  Jon'a- 
than  told  him,  and  said,  I  did  certainly  taste  a  little 
honey  with  the  end  of  the  rod  that  was  in  mine  hand  ; 

44  and,  lo,  I  must  die.     And  Saul  said,  God  do  so  and 

45  more  also :  for  thou  shalt  surely  die,  Jon'a-than.  And 
the  people  said  unto  Saul,  Shall  Jon'a-than  die,  who 
hath  wrought  this  great  salvation  in  Is'ra-el  ?  God 
forbid :  as  the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall  not  one  hair 
of  his  head  fall  to  the  ground ;  for  he  hath  wrought 
with  God  this  day.    So  the  people  ^rescued  Jon'a-than, 

46  that  he  died  not.  Then  Saul  went  up  from  follow- 
ing the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  to 
their  own  place. 

47  Now  when  Saul  had  taken  the  kingdom  over 
Is'ra-el,  he  fought  against  all  his  enemies  on  every 
side,  against  Mo'ab,  and  against  the  children  of 
Am'mon,  and  against  E'dom,  and  against  the  kings 
of  Zo'bah,  and  against  the  Phi-lis'tines  :  andwhither- 

48  soever  he  turned  himself,  'he  vexed  them.  And  he 
did  valiantly,  and  smote  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  and  de- 
livered Is'ra-el  out  of  the  hands  of  them  that  spoiled 
them.

49  Now  "the  sons  of  Saul  were  Jon'a-than  and  Ish'u-i,  and 
Mel'chi-shu'a :  and  the  names  of  his  two  daughters  were 
these;  the  name  of  the  firstborn  Me'rab,  and  the  name  of 
the  younger  Mi'chal : 

50  And  the  name  of  Saul's  wife  was  A-hin'o-am,  the  daugh- 
ter of  A-him'a-az  :  and  the  name  of  the  captain  of  his  host 
was  fAb'ner,  the  son  of  Ner,  Saul's  uncle. 

51  "And  Kish  was  the  father  of  Saul ;  and  Ner  the  father 
of  Ab'ner  was  the  son  of  A-bi'el. 

52  And  there  was  sore  war  against  the  Phi-lis'tines  all  the 
days  of  Saul :  and  when  Saul  saw  any  strong  man,  or  any 
valiant  man,  ^he  took  him  unto  him. 

CHAPTER    XV. 

Samuel  sendetk  Saul  to  destroy  Amalek. 

SAM'U-EL  also  said  unto  Saul,°The  Lord  sent  me  to  anoint 
thee  to  he  king  over  his  people,  over  Is'ra-el :  now  therefore 
hearken  thou  unto  the  voice  of  the  words  of  the  Lord. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I  remember  that  which 
Am'a-lek  did  to  Is'ra-el,  ''how  he  laid  wait  for  him  in  the  way, 
when  he  came  up  from  E'gypt. 

3  Now  go  and  smite  Am'a-lek,  and  "utterly  destroy  all  that 
they  have,  and  spare  them  not ;  but  slay  both  man  and 
woman,  infant  and  suckling,  ox  and  sheep,  camel  and  ass. 

4  And  Saul  gathered  the  people  together,  and  numbered 
them  in  Tel'a-im,  two  hundred  thousand  footmen,  and  ten 
thousand  men  of  Ju'dah. 

5  And  Saul  came  to  a  city  of  Am'a-lek,  and  ||  laid  wait  in 
the  valley. 

6  ^And  Saul  said  unto  ''the  Ken'ites,  'Go,  depart,  get  you 
down  from  among  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  lest  I  destroy  you  with 
them  :  for^ye  shewed  kindness  to  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
when  they  came  up  out  of  E'gypt.  So  the  Ken'ites  departed 
from  among  the  Am'a-lek-ites. 

7  'And  Saul  smote  the  Am'a-lek-ites  from  'Hav'i-lah  until 
thou  comest  to  'Shur,  that  is  over  against  E'gypt. 

8  And  *he  took  A'gag  the  king  of  the  Am'a-lek-ites  alive, 
and  'utterly  destroyed  all  the  people  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword. 

9  But  Saul  and  the  people  ""spared  A'gag,  and  the  best  of 
the  sheep,  and  of  the  oxen,  and  l|of  the  fatlings,  and  the 
lambs,  and  all  that  was  good,  and  would  not  utterly  de- 
stroy them :  but  every  thing  that  was  vile  and  refuse,  that 
they  destroyed  utterly. 

10  ^Thencame  the  wordof  the  LoRDuntoSam'u-el,  saying, 

11  "It  repenteth  me  that  I  have  set  up  Saul  to  be  king : 
for  he  is  "turned  back  from  following  me,  "and  hath  not 
performed  my  commandments.  And  it  'grieved  Sam'u-el ; 
and  he  cried  unto  the  Lord  all  night. 

12  And  M'hen  Sam'u-el  rose  early  to  meet  Saul  in  the 
morning,  it  was  told  Sam'u-el,  saying,  Saul  came  to  ""Car'mel, 
and,  behold,  he  set  him  up  a  place,  and  is  gone  about,  and 
passed  on,  and  gone  down  to  Gil'gal. 

13  And  Sam'u-el  came  to  Saul :  and  Saul  said  unto  him, 
'Blessed  be  thou  of  the  Lord  :  I  have  performed  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord. 

14  And  Sam'u-el  said.  What  meaneth  then  this  bleating 
of  the  sheep  in  mine  ears,  and  the  lowing  of  the  oxen 
which  I  hear  ? 

15  And  Saul  said,  They  have  brought  them  from  the 
Am'a-lek-ites  :  'for  the  people  spared  the  best  of  the  sheep 
and  of  the  oxen,  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  thy  God ;  and 
the  rest  we  have  utterly  destroyed. 

16  Then  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Saul,  Stay,  and  I  will  tell  thee 
what  the  Lord  hath  said  to  me  this  night.  And  he  said 
unto  him,  Say  on. 

17  And  Sam'u-el  said,  "When  thou  wast  little  in  thine  own 
sight,  wast  thou  not  made  the  head  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  the  Lord  anointed  thee  king  over  Is'ra-el? 

18  And  the  Lord  sent  thee  on  a  journey,  and  said,  Go  and 


49  Now  the  sons  of  Saul  were  Jon'a-than,  and  Ish'vi, 
and  Mal'chi-shu'a :  and  the  names  of  his  two  daugh- 
ters were  these ;  the  name  of  the   firstborn   Me'rab, 

50  and  the  name  of  the  younger  Mi'chal :  and  the  name  of 
Saul's  wife  was  A-hin'o-am  the  daughter  of  A-him'a-az : 
and  the  name  of  the  captain  of  his  host  was  Ab'ner 

51  the  son  of  Ner,  Saul's  uncle.  'And  Kish  was  the 
father  of  Saul ;  and  Ner  the  father  of  Ab'ner  was  the 
son  of  A-bi'el. 

52  And  there  was  sore  war  against  the  Phi-lis'tines  all 
the  days  of  Saul :  and  when  Saul  saw  any  mighty 
man,  or  any  valiant  man,  he  Hook  him  unto  him. 

i-0  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Saul,  The  Lord  sent  me 
to  anoint  thee  to  be  king  over  his  people,  over  Is'ra-el : 
now  therefore  hearken  thou  unto  the  voice  of  the  words 

2  of  the  Lord.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I  %ave 
marked  that  which  Am'a-lek  did  to  Is'ra-el,  how  he  set 
himself  against  him  in  the  way,  when  he  came  up 

3  out  of  E'gypt.  Now  go  and  smite  Am'a-lek,  and 
^utterly  destroy  all  that  they  have,  and  spare  them 
not ;  but  slay  both  man  and  woman,  infant  and  suck- 
ling, ox  and  sheep,  camel  and  ass. 

4  And  Saul  summoned  the  people,  and  numbered 
them  in  Tel'a-im,  two  hundred  thousand  footmen,  and 

5  ten  thousand  men  of  Ju'dah.     And  Saul  came  to  the 

6  city  of  Am'a-lek,  and  'laid  wait  in  the  valley.  And 
Saul  said  unto  the  Ken'ites,  Go,  depart,  get  you  down 
from  among  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  lest  I  destroy  you  with 
them :  for  ye  shewed  kindness  to  all  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  when  they  came  up  out  of  E'gypt.     So  the 

7  Ken'ites  departed  from  among  the  Am'a-lek-ites.  And 
Saul  smote  the  Am'a-lek-ites,  from  Hav'i-lah  as  thou 

8  goest  to  Shur,  that  is  before  E'gypt.  And  he  took 
A'gag  the  king  of  the  Am'a-lek-ites  alive,  and  utterly 
destroyed  all  the  people  with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

9  But  Saul  and  the  people  spared  A'gag,  and  the  best 
of  the  sheep,  and  of  the  oxen,  and  of  the  fatlings, 
and  the  lambs,  and  all  that  was  good,  and  would 
not  ■'utterly  destroy  them :  but  every  thing  that  was 
vile  and  refuse,  that  they  destroyed  utterly. 

10  Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Sam'u-el, 

1 1  saying.  It  repenteth  me  that  I  have  set  up  Saul  to 
be  king :  for  he  is  turned  back  from  following  me, 
and  hath  not  performed  my  commandments.  And 
Sam'u-el  was  wroth  ;  and  he  cried  unto  the  Lord  all 

12  night.  And  Sam'u-el  rose  early  to  meet  Saul  in  the 
morning ;  and  it  was  told  Sam'u-el,  saying,  Saul  came 
to  Car'mel,  and,  behold,  he  set  him  up  a  ''monument, 
and  is  gone  about,  and  passed  on,  and  gone  down  to 

13  Gil'gal.  And  Sam'u-el  came  to  Saul :  and  Saul  said 
unto  him.  Blessed  be  thou  of  the  Lord  :  I  have  per- 

14  formed  the  commandment  of  the  Lord.  And  Sam'- 
u-el said.  What  meaneth  then  this  bleating  of  the 
sheep  in  mine  ears,  and  the  lowing  of  the  oxen  which 

151  hear?  And  Saul  said.  They  have  brought  them 
from  the  Am'a-lek-ites :  for  the  people  spared  the  best 
of  the  sheep  and  of  the  oxen,  to  sacrifice  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God ;  and  the  rest  we   have  'utterly  de- 

IGstroyed.  Then  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Saul,  Stay,  and  I 
will  tell  thee  what  the  Lord  hath  said  to  me  this 

17  night.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Say  on.  And  Sam'- 
u-el said, 'Though  thou  wast  little  in  thine  own  sight, 
wast  thou  not  made  the  head  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el? 

18  And  the  Lord  anointed  thee  king  over  Is'ra-el ;  and 
the  Lord  sent  thee  on  a  journey,  and  said,  Go  and

utterly   destroy  the  sinners  the   Am'a-lek-ites,  and    fight 
against  them  until  fthey  be  consumed. 

19  Wherefore  then  didst  thou  not  obey  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  but  didst  fly  upon  the  spoil,  and  didst  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord? 

20  And  Saul  said  unto  Sam'uel,  Yea,  ''I  have  obeyed  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  and  have  gone  the  way  which  the  Lord 
sent  me,  and  have  brought  A'gag  the  king  of  Am'a-lek,  and 
have  utterly  destroyed  the  Am'a-lek-ites. 

21  "But  the  people  took  of  the  spoil,  sheep  and  oxen,  the 
chief  of  the  things  which  should  have  been  utterly  de- 
stroyed, to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  thy  God  in  Gil'gal. 

22  And  Sam'u-el  said,  'Hath  the  Lord  as  great  delight  in 
burnt  ofierings  and  sacrifices,  as  in  obeying  the  voice  of  the 
Lord?  Behold,  "to  obey  is  better  than  sacrifice,  and  to 
hearken  than  the  fat  of  rams. 

23  For  rebellion  is  as  the  sin  of  fwitchcraft,  and  stub- 
bornness is  as  iniquity  and  idolatry.  Because  thou  hast  re- 
jected the  word  of  the  Lord,  ''he  hath  also  rejected  thee 
from  being  king. 

24  ^"And  Saul  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  I  have  sinned :  for  I 
have  transgressed  the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  and  thy 
words :  because  I  ''feared  the  people,  and  obeyed  their  voice. 

25  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  pardon  my  sin,  and  turn 
again  with  me,  that  I  may  worship  the  Lord. 

26  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Saul,  I  will  not  return  with 
thee :  "for  thou  hast  rejected  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  Lord  hath  rejected  thee  from  being  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

27  And  as  Sam'u-el  turned  about  to  go  away,  ■'^he  laid  hold 
upon  the  skirt  of  his  mantle,  and  it  rent. 

28  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  him,  "The  Lord  hath  rent  the 
kingdom  of  Is'rael  from  thee  this  day,  and  hath  given  it  to 
a  neighbour  of  thine,  that  is  better  than  thou. 

29  And  also  the  ||  Strength  of  Is'ra-el  *will  not  lie  nor  re- 
pent :  for  he  is  not  a  man,  that  he  should  repent. 

30  Then  he  said,  I  have  sinned :  yet  'honour  me  now,  I  pray 
thee,  before  the  elders  of  my  people,  and  before  Is'ra-el,  and 
turn  again  with  me,  that  I  may  worship  the  Lord  thy  God. 

31  So  Sam'u-el  turned  again  after  Saul;  and  Saul  wor- 
shipped the  Lord. 

32  ^Then  said  Sam'u-el,Bring  ye  hither  to  me  A'gag  the  king 
of  the  Am'a-lek-ites.  And  A'gag  came  unto  him  delicately. 
And  A'gag  said,  Surely  the  bitterness  of  death  is  past. 

33  AndSam'u-e?.  said,*Asthy  sword  hath  made  women  child- 
less, so  shall  thy  mother  be  childless  among  women.  And 
Sam'u-el  hewed  A'gag  in  pieces  before  the  Lord  in  Gil'gal. 

34  1[Then  Sam'u-el  went  to  Ra'mah ;  and  Saul  went  up  to 
his  house  to  'Gib'e-ak  of  Saul. 

35  And  "Sam'u-el  came  no  more  to  see  Saul  until  the 
day  of  his  death :  nevertheless  Sam'u-el  "mourned  for  Saul : 
and  the  Lord  "repented  that  he  had  made  Saul  king 
over  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

Samugt  anointeth  David. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  "How  long  wilt  thou 
mourn  for  Saul,  seeing  'I  have  rejected  him  from  reign- 
ing over  Is'ra-el?  "fill  thine  horn  with  oil,  and  go,  I  will 
send  thee  to  Jes'se  the  Beth'-le-hem-ite :  for  ''I  have  pro- 
vided me  a  king  among  his  sons. 

2  And  Sam'u-el  said.  How  can  I  go?  if  Saul  hear  it,  he 
will  kill  me.  And  the  Lord  said,  Take  a  heifer  fwith 
thee,  and  say,  *I  am  come  to  sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

3  And  call  Jes'se  to  the  sacrifice,  and  ■''I  will  shew  thee 
what  thou  shalt  do:  and  "thou  shalt  anoint  unto  me  him 
whom  I  name  unto  thee. 

4  And  Sam'u-el  did  that  which  the  Lord  spake,  and  came 
to  Beth'-le-hem.  And  the  elders  of  the  town  Hrembled  at 
his  fcoming,  and  said,  'Comest  thou  peaceably  ? 

5  And  he  said.  Peaceably :  I  am  come  to  sacrifice  unto  the 


utterly  destroy  the  sinners  the  Am'a-iek-ites,  and  fight 

19  against  them  until  they  be  consumed.  Wherefore 
then  didst  thou  not  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord, 
but  didst  fly  upon  the  spoil,  and  didst  that  which 

20  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ?  And  Saul  said 
unto  Sam'u-el,  Yea,  I  have  obeyed  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  and  have  gone  the  way  which  the  Lord  sent  me, 
and  have  brought  A'gag  the  king  of  Am'a-lek,  and  have 

21  'utterly  destroyed  the  Am'a-lek-ites.  But  the  people 
took  of  the  spoil,  sheep  and  oxen,  the  chief  of  the 
devoted  things,  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  thy  God 

22  in  Gil'gal.  And  Sam'u-el  said,  Hath  the  Lord  as 
great  delight  in  burnt  offerings  and  sacrifices,  as  in 
obeying  the  voice  of  the  Lord?  Behold,  to  obey 
is  better  than  sacrifice,  and  to  hearken  than  the  fat 

23  of  rams.  For  rebellion  is  as  the  sin  of  ^witchcraft, 
and  stubbornness  is  as  'idolatry  and  Heraphim.  Be- 
cause thou  hast  rejected  the  word  of  the  Lord,  he 

24  hath  also  rejected  thee  from  being  king.  And  Saul 
said  unto  Sam'u-el,  I  have  sinned :  for  I  have  trans- 
gressed the  commandment  of  the  Lord,  and  thy 
words:    because   I   feared    the   people,   and   obeyed 

25  their  voice.  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  pardon  my 
sin,  and  turn  again  with  me,  that  I  may  worship  the 

26  Lord.     And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Saul,  I  will  not  re 
turn  with  thee :  for  thou  hast  rejected  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  Lord  hath  rejected  thee  from  be 

27  ing  king  over  Is'ra-el.  And  as  Sam'u-el  turned  about 
to  go  away,  he  laid  hold  upon  the  skirt  of  his  robe,  and 

28  it  rent.  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  him.  The  Lord  hath 
rent  the  kingdom  of  Is'ra-el  from  thee  this  day,  and 
hath  given  it  to  a  neighbour  of  thine,  that  is  better 

29  than  thou.  And  also  the  'Strength  of  Is'ra-el  will 
not  lie  nor  repent :  for  he  is  not  a  man,  that  he  should 

30  repent.  Then  he  said,  I  have  sinned :  yet  honour 
me  now,  I  pray  thee,  before  the  elders  of  my  peo- 
ple,   and    before     Is'ra-el,    and    turn    again    with 

31  me,  that  I  may  worship  the  Lord  thy  God.  So 
Sam'u-el  turned  again  after  Saul;  and  Saul  wor- 
shipped the  Lord. 

32  Then  said  Sam'u-el,  Bring  ye  hither  to  me  A'gag 
tji8  king  of  the  Am'a-lek-ites.  And  A'gag  came  unto 
him  'delicately.     And  A'gag  said.  Surely  the  bitter- 

33ness  of  death  is  past.  And  Sam'u-el  said,  As  thy 
sword  hath  made  women  childless,  so  shall  thy 
mother  be  childless  among  women.  And  Sam'u-el 
hewed  A'gag  in  pieces  before  the  Lord  in  Gil'gal. 

34  Then  Sam'u-el  went  to  Ra'mah  ;  and  Saul  went  up 

35  to  his  house  to  Gib'e-ah  of  Saul.  And  Sam'u-el  came 
no  more  to  see  Saul  until  the  day  of  his  death ;  'for 
Sam'u-el  mourned  for  Saul :  and  the  Lord  repented 
that  he  had  made  Saul  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

+t)  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  How  long  wilt 
thou  mourn  for  Saul,  seeing  I  have  rejected  him  from 
being  king  over  Is'ra-el  ?  fill  thine  horn  with  oil,  and 
go,  I  will  send  thee  to  Jes'se  the  Beth'-le-hem-ite :  for 
21  have  provided  me  a  king  among  his  sons.  And 
Sam'u-el  said.  How  can  I  go?  if  Saul  hear  it,  he  will 
kill  me.  And  the  Lord  said.  Take  an  heifer  with 
thee,  and  say,  I  am  come  to  sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

3  And  call  Jes'se  to  the  sacrifice,  and  I  will  shew  thee 
what  thou  shalt  do :  and  thou  shalt  anoint  unto  me 

4  him  whom  I  name  unto  thee.  And  Sam'u-el  did  that 
which  the  Lord  spake,  and  came  to  Beth'-le-hem. 
And  the  elders  of  the  city  came  to  meet  him  trem- 

5bling,  and  said,  Comest  thou  peaceably?  And  he 
said,  Peaceably:    I   am  come 


to  sacrifice  unto  the

Lord:  *sanctify  yourselves,  and  come  with  me  to  the  sac- 
rifice. And  he  sanctified  Jes'se  and  Ms  sons,  and  called  them 
to  the  sacrifice. 

6  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  were  come,  that  he 
looked  on  'E-li'ab,  and  "said,  Surely  the  Lord's  inointed  is 
before  him. 

7  But  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  Look  not  or  "his 
countenance,  or  on  the  height  of  his  stature ;  because  I 
have  refused  him:  "for  the  Loud  seeth  not  as  man  seeth; 
for  man  "locketh  on  the  foutward  appearance,  but  the 
Lord  lookcth  on  the  'heart. 

8  Then  Jes'se  called  'A- jin'a-da  and  made  him  pass  before 
Sam'u-ol.     And  he  said,  N  ;ithcr  hath  the  Lord  chosen  this. 

'J  Then  Jes'se  made  'H  Sham'mah  to  pass  by.  And  he  said, 
Neither  hath  the  Lord  chosen  this. 

1("  Again,  Jes'se  made  seven  of  his  sons  to  pass  before 
Sam'u-el.  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Jes'se,  The  Lord  hath  not 
chosen  those. 

11  And  3am' ucl  said  unto  Jos'se,  Are  here  all  thy  children  ? 
And  he  said,  'There  remaineth  yet  the  youngest,  and,  behold, 
he  keepeth  the  sheep.  And  Sam'u-cl  said  unto  Jes'se,  "Send 
and  fetch  him :  for  we  wi       ot  sit  fdown  till  he  come  hither. 

12  And  ho  sent,  und  bro-  t  him  in.  Now  he  was  ^rud  ly, 
and  withal  fof  a  beautiful  countenance,  a.  d  goodly  to  look 
to.     "And  the  Lord  said.  Arise,    noiut  him:  for  this  is  he. 

IL  Then  3am'u-el  took  the  horn  of  oil,  and  "anointed  him 
in  the  midst  of  his  brethren :  and  "the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  Da'vid  from  "^^hat  day  forward.  So  Sam'u-el  rose 
up,  and  went  to  Rr/mah. 

14  Sy'But  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  departed  from  Saul,  and 
an  evil  spirit  from  the  Lord  ||  troubled  him. 

15  And  Saul's  servants  said  unto  him.  Behold  now,  an 
evil  spirit  from  God  troubleth  thee. 

16  Let  our  lord  now  command  thy  servants,  wAicA  are  be- 
fore thee,  to  seek  out  u  man  who  '  a  junning  player  on  a 
harp :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  an  evil  spirit  from 

;od  is  u;jon  thee,  that  he  shuW  *play  with  his  hand,  and 
thou  shalt  be  well. 

17  And  Saul  said  unto  his  servants.  Provide  me  now  a 
man  that  can  play  well,  and  bring  him  to  me. 

18  Then  answered  one  of  the  servants,  and  said.  Behold, 
I  have  seen  a  son  of  Jes'se  the  Beth'-le-hem-ite,  that  is  cun- 
ning in  playing,  and  -'a  mighty  valiant  man,  and  a  man  of 
war,  and  prudent  in  {|  matters,  and  a  comely  person,  and 
"the  Lord  is  with  him. 

19  ^Wherefore  Saul  sent  messengers  unto  Jes'se,  and 
said.  Send  me  Da'vid  thy  son,  *which  is  with  the  sheep. 

20  And  Jes'se  'took  an  ass  ^aden  with  bread,  and  a  bottle  of 
wine,  and  a  kid,  and  sent  them  by  Da'vid  his  son  unto  Saul. 

21  And  Da'vid  came  to  Saul,  d  'stood  before  him :  and 
he  lovet^  him  greatly    and  he  became  his  armourbearer. 

22  And  Saul  sent  tc  Jes'se,  saying.  Let  Da'vid,  I  pray  thee, 
stand  before  me ;  for  he  hath  found  favour  in  mv  sight. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  'the  cm'  spirit  from  God  was 
upon  Saul,  that  Da  \  id  took  a  harp,  and  played  with  his 
hand  :  so  Saul  was  refreshed,  an  Wi-S  well,  and  the  evil  spirit 
deprrted  from  him. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

Goliath  Cometh  forth  to  challenge  a  combat  with  the  Israelites. 

"VTOW  +he  Phi-lis'tines  "gathered  together  their  armies  to 
-Li  battle,  and  were  ga<  'lered  together  at  ''Sho'choh,which  be- 
longeth  to  Ju'dah,and  pitched  between  Sho'choh  and  A-ze'kah, 
in  II  E'phes-dam'mim. 

2  And  Saul  and  th  men  of  Is'ra-el  were  gathered  together, 
and  pitched  by  the  valley  of  S'lah,  and  fset  the  battle  in 
array  against  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

3  And  the  Phi  ILs'tines  stood  ^n  a  mountain  on  the  one 
side,  and  Is'ra-el  stood  on  a  mountain  on  the  other  side : 
and  there  was  a  valley  between  them. 


Lord  :  sanctify  yourselves  and  come  with  me  to  the 
sacrifice.     And  he  sanctified  Jes'se  and  his  sons,  and 

6  called  them  to  the  sacrifice.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  they  were  come,  that  he  looked  on  'E-li'ab, 
and    said.   Surely    the    Lord's    anointed  is   before 

7  him.  But  the  Lord  said  unto  Sam'u-el,  Look  not  on 
his  countenance,  or  on  the  height  of  his  stature ;  be- 
cause I  have  rejected  him :  for  the  Lord  seeth  not  as 
man  seeth ;  for  man  looketh  on  the  outward  appear- 

8ance,  but  the  Lord  looketh  on  the  heart.  Then 
Jes'se  called  A-bin'a-dab,  and  made  him  pass  before 
Sam'u-el.     And  he  said.  Neither  hath   the   Lord 

9  ;hos  n  this.  Then  Jes'se  made  ^Sham'mah  to  pass 
by.     And  he  said.  Neither  hath  the  Lord  chosen 

10  this.  And  Jes'se  made  seven  of  his  sons  to  pass  be- 
fore Sam'u-el.     And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Jes'se,  The 

11  Lord  hath  not  chosen  these.  And  Sam'u-el  said 
unto  Jes'se,  Are  here  all  thy  children  ?  And  he  said, 
There  remaineth  yet  the  youngest,  and,  behold,  he 
keepeth  the  sheep.  And  Sam'u-el  said  unto  Jes'se, 
Send  and  fetch  him :  for  we  will  not  sit  ^down  till  he 

12  come  hither.  And  he  sent,  and  brought  him  in. 
Now  he  was  ruddy,  and  withal  *of  a  beautiful  coun- 
tenance, and  goodly  to  look  upon.     And  the  Lord 

13  said.  Arise,  anoint  him :  for  this  is  he.  Then  Sam'- 
u-el took  the  horn  of  oil,  and  anointed  him  in  the 
midst  of  his  brethren :  and  the  spirit  of  the  Lord 
eame  nightily  upon  Da'vid  from  that  day  forward. 
So  Sam'iiel  rose  up,  and  went  to  Ra'mah, 

14  Now  the  spirit  of  tue  Lord  had  departed  from 
Saul,  and  an  evil  spirit  from  the  Lord  'troubled  him. 

15  And  Saul's  servants  said  unto  him.  Behold  now,  an 

16  evil  spirit  from  God  troubleth  thee.  Let  our  lord 
row  command  thy  servants,  which  are  before  thee, 
to  seek  out  a  man  who  is  a  cunning  player  on  the 
harp :  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  the  evil  spirit 
from  God  is  upon  thee,  that  he  shall  play  with  his 

17  hand,  and  thou  shalt  be  well.  And  Saul  said  unto 
his  servants.  Provide  me  now  a  man  that  can  jjlay 

18  well,  and  bring  him  to  me.  Then  answered  one  of 
the  young  men,  and  said.  Behold,  I  have  seen  a  son 
of  Jes'se  the  Beth'-le-hem-itc,  that  is  cunning  in  play- 
ing, and  a  mighty  man  of  valour,  and  a  man  of  war, 
and  ^prudent  in  'speech,  and  a  comely  person,  and 

19  the  Lord  is  with  him.  Wherefore  Saul  sent  mes- 
sengers unto  Jes'se,  and  said.  Send  me  Da'vid  thy 

20  son,  which  is  with  the  sheep.  And  Jes'se  took  an 
ass  laden  with  bread,  and  a  'bottle  of  wine,  and  a  kid, 

21  and  sent  them  by  Da'vid  his  son  unto  Saul.  And 
Da'vid  came  to  Saul,  and  stood  before  him :  and  he 
loved  him  greatly ;  and  he  became  his  armourbearer. 

22  And  Saul  sent  to  Jes'se,  sr-ying.  Let  Da'vid,  I  pray 
thee,  stand  before  me ;  for  he  h  ith  found  favour  in 

23  my  sight.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  evil  sfirit 
from  God  was  upon  Saul,  that  Da'vid  took  the  harp, 
and  played  with  his  hand:  so  Saul  was  refreshed, 
and  was  well,  and  the  evil  spirit  departed  from  him. 

+  /  Now  the  Phi-lis'tines  gathered  together  their  ar- 
mies to  battle,  and  they  were  gathered  together 
at  So'coh,  which  belongeth  to  Ju'dah,  and  pitched 
between  So'coh  and  A-ze'kah   in    E'phes-dam'mim. 

2  And  Saul  and  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  were  gathered 
together,   and  pitched  in  the  vale   of  'E'lah,  and 

3  set  the  battle  in  array  against  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And 
the  Phi-lis'tines  stood  on  the  mountain  on  the  one 
side,  and  Is'ra-el  stood  on  the  mountain  on  the 
other  side:   and  there  was  a  valley  between  them.

4  ^And  there  went  out  a  champion  out  of  the  camp  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  named  "Go-li'ath,  of  ''Gath,  whose  height 
was  six  cubits  and  a  span. 

5  And  he  had  a  helmet  of  brass  upon  his  head,  and  he 
was  farmed  with  a  coat  of  mail;  and  the  weight  of  the 
coat  was  five  thousand  shekels  of  brass. 

6  And  he  had  greaves  of  brass  upon  his  legs,  and  a  ||  target 
of  brass  between  his  shoulders. 

7  And  the  'staff  of  his  spear  was  like  a  weaver's  beam; 
and  his  spear's  head  weighed  six  hundred  shekels  of  iron: 
and  one  bearing  a  shield  went  before  him. 

8  And  he  stood  and  cried  unto  the  armies  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
said  unto  them.  Why  are  ye  come  out  to  set  your  battle  in 
array?  am  not  I  a  Phi-lis'tine,  and  ye  •'^servants  to  Saul? 
choose  ye  a  man  for  you,  and  let  him  come  down  to  me. 

9  If  he  be  able  to  fight  with  me,  and  to  kill  me,  then  will 
we  be  your  servants :  but  if  I  prevail  against  him,  and  kill 
him,  then  shall  ye  be  our  servants,  and  "serve  us. 

10  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  said,  I  *defy  the  armies  of  Is'ra-el 
this  day ;  give  me  a  man,  that  we  may  fight  together. 

11  When  Saul  and  all  Is'ra-el  heard  those  words  of  the 
Phi'lis-tine,  they  were  dismayed,  and  greatly  afraid. 

12  "flNow  Da  vid  was  'the  son  of  that  *Eph'rath-ite  of 
Beth'le-hem-ju'dah,  whose  name  wa^  Jes'se ;  and  he  had 
'eight  sons :  and  the  man  went  among  men  for  an  old  man 
in  the  days  of  Saul. 

13  And  the  three  eldest  sons  of  Jes'se  went  and  followed 
Saul  to  the  battle :  and  the  "names  of  his  three  sons  that 
went  to  the  battle  were  E-li'ab  the  firstborn,  and  next  unto 
him  A-bin'a-dab,  and  the  third  Sham'mah. 

14  And  Da' vid  was  the  youngest:  and  the  three  eldest 
followed  Saul. 

15  But  Da' vid  went  and  returned  from  Saul  "to  feed  his 
father's  sheep  at  Beth'le-hem. 

16  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  drew  near  morning  and  evening, 
and  presented  himself  forty  days. 

17  And  Jes'se  said  unto  Da' vid  his  son.  Take  now  for  thy 
brethren  an  ephah  of  this  parched  corn,  and  these  ten  loaves, 
and  run  to  the  camp  to  thy  brethren ; 

18  And  carry  these  ten  f cheeses  unto  the  fcaptain  of 
their  thousand,  and  "look  how  thy  brethren  fare,  and  take 
their  pledge. 

19  Now  Saul,  and  they,  and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  were  in 
the  valley  of  E'lah,  fighting  with  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

20  ^And  Da'vid  rose  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  left  the 
sheep  with  a  keeper,  and  took,  and  went,  as  Jes'se  had  com- 
manded him;  and  he  came  to  the  ||  trench,  as  the  host  was 
going  forth  to  the  ||  fight,  and  shouted  for  the  battle. 

21  For  Is'ra-el  and  the  Phi-lis'tin^  had  put  the  battle  in 
array,  army  against  array. 

22  And  Da'vid  left  fhis  carriage  in  the  hand  of  the  keeper 
of  the  carriage,  and  ran  into  the  army,  and  came  and  fsa- 
luted  his  brethren. 

23  And  as  he  talked  with  them,  behold,  there  came  up  the 
champion,  the  Phi-lis'tine  of  Gath,  Go-li'ath  by  name,  out 
of  the  armies  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  spake  "according  to 
the  same  words :  and  Da'vid  heard  them. 

24  And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  when  they  saw  the  man, 
fled  ffrom  him  and  were  sore  afraid. 

25  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  said.  Have  ye  seen  this  man 
that  is  come  up  ?  surely  to  defy  Is'ra-el  is  he  come  up :  and 
it  shall  be  that  the  man  who  killeth  him,  the  king  will  en- 
rich him  with  great  riches,  and  'will  give  him  his  daughter, 
and  make  his  fiither's  house  free  in  Is'ra-el. 

26  And  Da'vid  spake  to  the  men  that  stood  by  him,  say- 
ing. What  shall  be  done  to  the  man  that  killeth  this  Phi-lis'- 
tine, and  taketh  away  ''the  reproach  from  Is'ra-el?  for  who 
is  this  'uncircumcised  Phi-lis  tine,  that  he  should  'defy  the 
armies  of  "the  living  God  ? 


4  And  there  went  out  a  champion  out  of  the  camp 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  named  Go-li'ath,  of  Grath,  whose 

5  height  was  six  cubits  and  a  span.  And  he  had 
an  helmet  of  brass  upon  his  head,  and  he  was 
clad  with  a  coat  of  mail;    and  the  weight  of  the 

6  coat  was  five  thousand  shekels  of  brass.  And  he 
had  greaves  of  brass  upon  his  legs,  and  a  'javelin 

7  of  brass  between  his  shoulders.  And  the  ^staff  of 
his  spear  was  like  a  weaver's  beam;  and  his  spear's 
head  weighed   six    hundred    shekels    of  iron:    and 

8  his  shield-bearer  went  before  him.  And  he  stood 
and  cried  unto  the  'armies  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto 
them.  Why  are  ye  come  out  to  set  your  battle  in 
array?  am  not  I  a  Phi-lis'tine,  and  ye  servants  to 
Saul?  choose  you  a  man  for  you,  and  let  him  come 

9  down  to  me.  If  he  be  able  to  fight  with  me,  and  kill 
me,  then  will  we  be  your  servants :  but  if  I  prevail 
against  him,  and  kill   him,  then  shall  ye    be  our 

10  servants,  and  serve  us.  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  said,  I 
*defy  the  armies  of  Is'ra-el  this  day ;  give  me  a  man, 

11  that  we  may  fight  together.  And  when  Saul  and  all 
Is'ra-el  heard  those  words  of  the  Phi'lis-tine,  they 
were  dismayed,  and  greatly  afraid. 

12  'Now  Da'vid  was  the  son  of.  that  Eph'rath-ite  of 
Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah,  whose  name  was  Jes'se;  and  he 
had  eight  sons :  and  the  man  was  an  old  man  in  the 

13  days  of  Saul,  stricken  in  years  among  men.  And 
the  three  eldest  sons  of  Jes'se  had  gone  after  Saul  to 
the  battle :  and  the  names  of  his  three  sons  that  went 
to  the  battle  were  E-li'ab  the  firstborn,  and  next  unto 

14  him  A-bin'a-dab,  and  the  third  Sham'mah.  And  Da'- 
vid was  the  youngest :  and  the  three  eldest  followed 

15  Saul.     Now  Da'vid  went  to  and  fro   from  Saul  to 

16  feed  his  father's  sheep  at  Beth'-le-hem.  And  the 
Phi-lis'tine  drew  near  morning  and  evening,  and  pre- 
sented himself  forty  days. 

17  And  Jes'se  said  unto  Da'vid  his  son.  Take  now  for 
thy  brethren  an  ephah  of  this  parched  corn,  and  these 
ten  loaves,  and  carry  them  quickly  to  the  camp  to 

18 thy  brethren;  and  bring  these  ten  cheeses  unto  the 
captain  of  their  thousand,  and  look  how  thy  brethren 

19  fare,  and  take  their  pledge.  Now  Saul,  and  they, 
and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  'were  in  the  vale  of  E'lah, 

20  fighting  with  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  Da'vid  rose  up 
early  in  the  morning,  and  left  the  sheep  with  a  keeper, 
and  took,  and  went,  as  Jes'se  had  commanded  him ; 
and  he  came  to  the  ^place  of  the  wagons,  as  the  host 
which  was  going  forth  to  the  *fight  shouted  for  the 

21  battle.  And  Is'ra-el  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  put  the  battle 

22  in  array,  army  against  army.  And  Da'vid  left  his 
baggage  in  the  hand  of  the  keeper  of  the  baggage, 
and  ran    to  the    array,    and  came   and    saluted    his 

23  brethren.  And  as  he  talked  with  them,  behold, 
there  came  up  the  champion,  the  Phi-lis'tine  of  Gath, 
Go-li'ath  by  name,  out  of  the  ranks  of  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
and  spake  according  to  the  same  words :  and  Da'vid 

24  heard  them.  And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  when  they 
saw  the  man,  fled  from  him,  and  were  sore  afraid. 

25  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  said.  Have  ye  seen  this  man 
that  is  come  up  ?  surely  to  ^defy  Is'ra-el  is  he  come  up : 
and  it  shall  be,  that  the  man  who  killeth  him,  the 
king  will  enrich  him  with  great  riches,  and  will  give 
him  his  daughter,  and  make  his  father's  house  free 

26  in  Is'ra-el.  And  Da'vid  spake  to  the  men  that  stood 
by  him,  saying.  What  shall  be  done  to  the  man  that 
killeth  this  Phi-lis'tine,  and  taketh  away  the  reproach 
from  Is'ra-el?  forwhoisthisuncircumcised  Phi-lis'tine, 
that  he  should  ^defy  the  armies  of  the  living  God  ?

27  And  the  people  answered  him  after  this  manner,  say- 
ing, 'So  shall  it  be  done  to  the  man  that  killeth  him. 

28  IfAnd  E-li'ab  his  eldest  brother  heard  when  he  spake 
unto  the  men ;  and  E-li'ab's  "anger  was  kindled  against 
Da'vid,  and  he  said,  Why  earnest  thou  down  hither?  and 
with  whom  hast  thou  left  those  few  sheep  in  the  wilderness? 
I  know  thy  pride,  and  the  naughtiness  of  thine  heart;  for 
thou  art  come  down  that  thou  mightest  see  the  battle. 

29  And  Da'vid  said.  What  have  I  now  done  ?  'Is  there 
not  a  cause  ? 

30  ^And  he  turned  from  him  toward  another,  and  "spake 
after  the  same  fmanner  :  and  the  people  answered  him  again 
after  the  former  manner. 

31  And  when  the  words  were  heard  which  Da'vid  spake, 
they  rehearsed  them  before  Saul :  and  he  fsent  for  him. 

32  ^And  Da'vid  said  to  Saul,  'Let  no  man's  heart  fail 
because  of  him;  °thy  servant  will  go  and  fight  with  this 
Phi-lis'tine. 

33  And  Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  ''Thou  art  not  able  to  go 
against  this  Phi-lis'tine  to  fight  with  him  :  for  thou  art  but 
a  youth,  and  he  a  man  of  war  from  his  youth. 

34  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Saul,  Thy  servant  kept  his 
father's  sheep,  and  there  came  a  lion,  and  a  bear,  and  took 
a  II  lamb  out  of  the  flock: 

35  And  I  went  out  after  him  and  smote  him,  and  delivered 
it  out  of  his  mouth :  and  when  ho  arose  against  me,  I 
caught  him  by  his  beard,  and  smote  him,  and  slew  him. 

36  Thy  servant  slew  both  the  lion  and  the  bear :  and  this 
uncircumcised  Phi-lis'tine  shall  be  as  one  of  them,  seeing  he 
hath  defied  the  armies  of  the  living  God. 

37  Da'vid  said  moreover,  'The  Loed  that  delivered  me 
out  of  the  paw  of  the  lion,  and  out  of  the  paw  of  the  bear, 
he  will  deliver  me  out  of  the  hand  of  this  Phi-lis'tine. 
And  Saul  said  unto  Da'vid,  Go,  and  -'^the  Lord  be  with  thee. 

38  ^And  Saul  farmed  Da'vid  with  his  armour,  and  he 
put  a  helmet  of  brass  upon  his  head;  also  he  armed  him 
with  a  coat  of  mail. 

39  And  Da'vid  girded  his  sword  upon  his  armour,  and  he 
assayed  to  go ;  for  he  had  not  proved  it.  And  Da'vid  said 
unto  Saul,  I  cannot  go  with  these,  for  I  have  not  proved 
them,.     And  Da'vid  put  them  oflF  him. 

40  And  he  took  his  staff  in  his  hand,  and  chose  him  five 
smooth  stones  out  of  the  ||  brook,  and  put  them  in  a  shep- 
herd's fbag  which  he  had,  even  in  a  scrip;  and  his  sling 
was  in  his  hand  :  and  he  drew  near  to  the  Phi-lis'tine. 

41  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  came  on,  and  drew  near  unto 
Da'vid ;  and  the  man  that  bare  the  shield  went  before  him. 

42  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tine  looked  about,  and  saw 
Da'vid,  he  "disdained  him:  for  he  was  but  a  youth,  and 
''ruddy,  and  of  a  fair  countenance. 

43  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  said  unto  Da'vid,  'Am  I  a  dog,  that 
thou  comest  to  me  with  staves?  And  the  Phi-lis'tine 
cursed  Da'vid  by  his  gods. 

44  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  *said  to  Da'vid,  Come  to  me,  and 
I  will  give  thy  flesh  unto  the  fowls  of  the  air,  and  to  the 
beasts  of  the  field. 

45  Then  said  Da'vid  to  the  Phi-lis'tine,  Thou  comest  to 
me  with  a  sword,  and  with  a  spear,  and  with  a  shield  :  'but 
I  come  to  thee  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  the  armies  of  Is'ra-el,  whom  thou  hast  "defied. 

46  This  day  will  the  Lord  fdeliver  thee  into  mine  hand ; 
and  I  will  smite  thee,  and  take  thine  head  from  thee;  and 
I  will  give  "the  carcasses  of  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  this 
day  unto  the  fowls  of  the  air,  and  to  the  wild  beasts  of  the 
earth;  "that  all  the  earth  may  know  that  there  is  a  God  in 
Is'ra-el. 

47  And  all  this  assembly  shall  know  that  the  Lord 
"saveth  not  with  sword  and  spear:  for  'the  battle  is  the 
Lord's,  and  he  will  give  you  into  our  hands. 


27  And  the  people  answered  him  after  this  manner, 
saying,  So  shall  it  be  done  to   the  man    that  kill- 

28  eth  him.  And  E-li'ab  his  eldest  brother  beard  when 
he  spake  unto  the  men;  and  E'liab's  anger  was 
kindled  against  Da'vid,  and  he  said.  Why  art  thou 
come  down?  and  with  whom  hast  thou  left  those 
few  sheep  in  the  wilderness?  I  know  thy  pride, 
and  the  naughtiness    of  thine  heart;    for   thou  art 

29  come  down  that  thou  mightest  see  the  battle.  And 
Da'vid  said.  What  have  I  now  done?     'Is  there  not 

30a  cause?  And  he  turned  away  from  him  toward 
another,  and  spake  after  the  same  manner :  and  the 
people  answered  him  again  after  the  former  manner. 

31  And  when  the  words  were  heard  which  Da'vid  spake, 
they   rehearsed  them  before  Saul;   and  he  sent  for 

32  him.  And  Da'vid  said  to  Saul,  Let  no  man's  heart 
fail  ^because  of  him;  thy  servant  will  go  and  fight 

33  with  this  Phi-lis'tine.  And  Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou 
art  not  able  to  go  against  this  Phi-lis'tine  to  fight  with 
him :  for  thou  art  but  a  youth,  and  he  a  man  of  war 

34  from  his  youth.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Saul,  Thy 
servant  kept  his  father's  sheep;  'and  when  there 
came  a  lion,  or  a  bear,  and  took  a  lamb  out  of  the 

35  flock,  I  went  out  after  him,  and  smote  him,  and  de- 
livered it  out  of  his  mouth:  and  when  he  arose 
against  me,  I  caught  him  by  his  beard,  and  smote 

36  him,  and  slew  him.  Thy  servant  smote  both  the 
lion  and  the  bear :  and  this  uncircumcised  Phi-lis'tine 
shall  be  as  one  of  them,  seeing  he  hath  ^defied  the 

37  armies  of  the  living  God.  And  Da'vid  said.  The 
Lord  that  delivered  me  out  of  the  paw  of  the  lion, 
and  out  of  the  paw  of  the  bear,  he  will  deliver  me 
out  of 'the  hand  of  this  Phi-lis'tine.  And  Saul  said 
unto  Da'vid,  Go,  and  the  Lord  shall  be  with  thee. 

38  And  Saul  clad  Da'vid  with  his  apparel,  and  he  put 
an  helmet  of  brass  upon  his  head,  and  he  clad  him 

39  with  a  coat  of  mail.  And  Da'vid  girded  his  sword 
upon  his  apparel,  and  he  assayed  to  go;  for  he  had 
not  proved  it.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Saul,  I  cannot 
go  with  these ;  for  I  have   not  proved  them.     And 

40  Da'vid  put  them  off  him.  And  he  took  his  staff  in 
his  hand,  and  chose  him  five  smooth  stones  out  of 
the  ^brook,  and  put  them  in  the  shepherd's  bag 
which  he  had,  even  in  his  scrip ;  and  his  sling  was 
in  his  hand:  and  he  drew   near  to  the  Phi-lis'tine. 

41  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  came  on  and  drew  near  unto 
Da'vid  ;  and  the  man  that  bare  the  shield  went  before 

42  him.  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tine  looked  about,  and 
saw  Da'vid,  he  disdained  him:  for  he  was  but  a 
youth,  and  ruddy,  and  withal  of  a  fair  countenance. 

43  And  the  Phi-lis'tine  said  unto  Da'vid,  Am  I  a  dog, 
that  thou  comest  to  me  with  staves  ?     And  the  Phi- 

44  lis'tine  cursed  Da'vid  by  his  gods.  And  the  Phi-lis'tine 
said  to  Da'vid,  Come  to  me,  and  I  will  give  thy  flesh 
unto  the    fowls  of  the  air,  and  to  the  beasts  of  the 

45  field.  Then  said  Da'vid  to  the  Phi-lis'tine,  Thou 
comest  to  me  with  a  sword,  and  with  a  spear,  and  with 
a  javelin :  but  I  come  to  thee  in  the  name  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  the  armies  of  Is'ra-el,  which  thou 

46  hast  ^defied.  This  day  will  the  Lord  deliver  thee 
into  mine  hand,  and  I  will  smite  thee,  and  take  thine 
head  from  off  thee ;  and  I  will  give  the  carcases  of 
the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  this  day  unto  the  fowls  of 
the  air,  and  to  the  wild  beasts  of  the  earth ;  that  all 
the  earth  may  know  that  there  is  a  God  in  Is'ra-el : 

47  and  that  all  this  assembly  may  know  that  the  Lord 
saveth  not  with  sword  and  spear:  for  the  battle  is 
the   Lord's,  and  he  will  give  you  into    our  hand.

48  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  Phi-Hs'tine  arose,  and 
came  and  drew  nigh  to  meet  Da'vid,  that  Da'vid  hasted,  and 
ran  toward  the  army  to  meet  the  Phi-lis'tine. 

49  And  Da'vid  put  his  hand  in  his  bag,  and  took  tnence  a 
stone,  and  slang  it,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tine  in  his  forehead, 
that  the  stone  sunk  into  his  forehead;  and  he  fell  upon  his 
face  to  the  earth. 

50  So  ""Da'vid  prevailed  over  the  Phi-lis'tine  with  a  sling 
and  with  a  stone,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tine  and  slew  him ; 
but  there  was  no  sword  in  the  hand  of  Da'vid. 

51  Therefore  Da'vid  ran  and  stood  upon  the  Phi-lis'tine, 
and  took  his  sword,  and  drew  it  out  of  the  sheath  thereof, 
and  slew  him,  and  cut  off  his  head  therewith.  And  when 
the  Phi-lis'tines  saw  their  champion  was  dead,  'they  fled. 

52  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  and  of  Ju'dah  arose,  and 
shouted,  and  pursued  the  Phi-lis'tines,  until  thou  come  to  the 
valley,  and  to  the  gates  of  Ek'ron.  And  the  wounded  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines  fell  down  by  the  way  to  'Sha-a-ra'im,  even 
unto  Gath,  and  unto  Ek'ron. 

53  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  returned  from  chasing  after 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  they  spoiled  their  tents. 

54  And  Da'vid  took  the  head  of  the  Phi-lis'tine,  and  brought 
it  to  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  but  he  put  his  armour  in  his  tent. 

55  TfAnd  when  Saul  saw  Da'vid  go  forth  against  the 
Phi-lis'tine,  he  said  unto  Ab'ner  the  captain  of  the  host,  Ab'ner, 
"whose  son  is  this  youth?  And  Ab'ner  said.  As  thy  soul 
liveth,  O  king,  I  cannot  tell. 

56  And  the  king  said,  Inquire  thou  whose  son  the  strip- 
ling is. 

57  And  as  Da'vid  returned  from  the  slaughter  of  the 
Phi-lis'tine,  Ab'ner  took  him,  and  brought  him  before  Saul 
"with  the  head  of  the  Phi-lis'tine  in  his  hand. 

58  And  Saul  said  to  him,  Whose  son  art  thou,  thou 
young  man  ?  And  Da'vid  answered,  "I  am  the  son  of  thy 
servant  Jes'se  the  Beth'-le-hem-ite. 

CHAF'TER  XVIII. 

Jonathan  loveth  David — Saul  envieih  his  praise. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  unto  Saul,  that  "the  soul  of  Jon'a-than  was 
knit  with  the  soul  of  Da'vid,  'and  Jon'a-than  loved  him  as 
his  own  soul. 

2  And  Saul  took  him  that  day,  "and  would  let  him  go  no 
more  home  to  his  father's  house. 

3  Then  Jon'a-than  and  Da'vid  made  a  covenant,  because 
he  loved  him  as  his  own  soul. 

4  And  Jon'a-than  stripped  himself  of  the  robe  that  was 
upon  him,  and  gave  it  to  Da'vid,  and  his  garments,  even  to 
his  sword,  and  to  his  bow,  and  to  his  girdle. 

5  ^And  Da'vid  went  out  whithersoever  Saul  sent  him,  and 
II  behaved  himself  wisely :  and  Saul  set  him  over  the  men 
of  war,  and  he  was  accepted  in  the  sight  of  all  the  people, 
and  also  in  the  sight  of  Saul's  servants. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass  as  they  cam'e,  when  Da'vid  was 
returned  from  the  slaughter  of  the  ||  Phi-lis'tine,  that  ''the 
women  came  out  of  all  the  cities  of  Is'ra-el,  singing  and 
dancing,  to  meet  king  Saul,  with  tabrets,  with  joy,  and  with 
finstruments  of  music. 

7  And  the  women  "answered  one  another  as  they  played, 
and  said,  •'Saul  hath  slain  his  thousands,  and  Da'vid  his  ten 
thousands. 

8  And  Saul  was  very  wroth,  and  the  saying  fdispleased 
him;  and  he  said.  They  have  ascribed  unto  Da'vid  ten 
thousands,  and  to  me  they  have  ascribed  but  thousands: 
and  what  can  he  have  more  but  ''the  kingdom? 

9  And  Saul  eyed  Da'vid  from  that  day  and  forward. 

10  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  tlie  morrow,  that  'the  evil 
spirit  from  God  came  upon  Saul,  *and  he  prophesied  in  the 
midst  of  the  house :  and  Da'vid  played  with  his  hand,  as  at 
other  times:  'and  there  was  a  javelin  in  Saul's  hand. 


48  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  Phi-lis'tine  arose,  and 
came  and  drew  nigh  to  meet  Da'vid,  that  Da'vid 
hastened,  and  ran  toward   the   army   to   meet  the 

49  Phi-lis'tine.  And  Da'vid  put  his  hand  in  his  bag, 
and  took  thence  a  stone,  and  slang  it,  and  smote 
the  Phi-lis'tine  in  his  forehead;  and  the  stone  sank 
into  his  forehead,  and  he  fell  upon  his  face  to  the 

50  earth.  So  Da'vid  prevailed  over  the  Phi-lis'tine  with 
a  sling  and  with  a  stone,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis'- 
tine, and  slew  him ;  but  there  was  no  sword  in  the 

51  hand  of  Da'vid.  Then  Da'vid  ran,  and  stood  over 
the  Phi-lis'tine,  and  took  his  sword,  and  drew  it 
out  of  the  sheath  thereof,  and  slew  him,  and  cut  off 
his  head  therewith.     And  when  the  Phi-lis'tines  saw 

52  that  their  'champion  was  dead,  they  fled.  And  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el  and  of  Ju'dah  arose,  and  shouted,and 
pursued  the  Phi-lis'tines,  until  thou  comest  to  ^Ga'i, 
and  to  the  gates  of  Ek'ron.  And  the  wounded  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines  fell  down  by  the  way  to  'Sha-a-ra'im, 

53  even  unto  Gath,  and  unto  Ek'ron.  And  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  returned  from  chasing  after  the  Phi-lis'tines, 

54  and  they  spoiled  their  camp.  And  Da'vid  took  th,e 
head  of  the  Phi-lis'tine,  and  brought  it  to  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  ;  but  he  put  his  armour  in  his  tent. 

55  And  when  Saul  saw  Da'vid  go  forth  against  the 
Phi-lis'tine,  he  said  unto  Ab'ner,  the  captain  of  the 
host,  Ab'ner,  whose  son  is  this  youth?     And  Ab'ner 

56  said.  As  thy  soul  liveth,  O  king,  I  cannot  tell.  And 
the  king  said,  Inquire  thou  whose  son  the  stripling 

57  is.  And  as  Da'vid  returned  from  the  slaughter  of 
the  Phi-lis'tine,  Ab'ner  took  him,  and  brought  him 
before  Saul  with  the  head  of  the  Phi-lis'tine  in  his 

58  hand.  And  Saul  said  to  him.  Whose  son  art  thou, 
-J  Q  thou  young  man  ?  And  Da'vid  answered,  I  am  the 
+0  son  of  thy  servant  Jes'se  the  Beth'-le-hem-ite.    And 

it  came  to  pass,  when  he  had  made  an  end  of  speaking 
unto  Saul,  that  the  soul  of  Jon'a-than  was  knit  with 
the  soul  of  Da'vid,  and  Jon'a-than  loved  him  as  his 

2  own  soul.  And  Saul  took  him  that  day,  and  would 
let  him  go  no    more    home    to   his    father's    house. 

3  Then  Jon'a-than  and  Da'vid  made  a  covenant,  because 

4  he  loved  him  as  his  own  soul.  And  Jon'a-than 
stripped  himself  of  the  robe  that  was  upon  him,  and 
gave  it  to  Da'vid,  and  his  apparel,  even  to  his  sword, 

5  and  to  his  bow,  and  to  his  girdle.  And  Da'vid  ^went 
out  whithersoever  Saul  sent  him,  and  'behaved  him- 
self wisely :  and  Saul  set  him  over  the  men  of  war, 
and  it  was  good  in  the  sight  of  all  the  people,  and 
also  in  the  sight  of  Saul's  servants. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass  as  they  came,  when  Da'vid 
returned  from  the  slaughter  of  the  *Phi-lis'tine,  that 
the  women  came  out  of  all  the  cities  of  Is'ra-el,  sing- 
ing and  dancing,  to  meet  king  Saul,  with  timbrels, 

7  with  joy,  and  with  'instruments  of  music.  And  the 
women  *sang  one  to  another  in  their  play,  and  said, 

Saul  hath  slain  his  thousands. 
And  Da'vid  his  ten  thousands. 

8  And  Saul  was  very  wroth,  and  this  saying  displeased 
him ;  and  he  said.  They  have  ascribed  unto  Da'vid 
ten  thousands,  and  to  me  they  have  ascribed  but 
thousands:  and  what  can   he   have    more   but  the 

9 kingdom?  And  Saul  eyed  Da'vid  from  that  day 
and  forward. 
10  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  an 
evil  spirit  from  God  came  mightily  upon  Saul, 
and  he  "prophesied  in  the  midst  of  the  house: 
and  Da'vid  played  with  his  hand,  as  he  did  day 
by   day:    and    Saul    had    his   spear    in  his    hand.

11  And  Saul  ""cast  the  javelin;  for  he  said,  I  will  smite 
Da'vid  even  to  the  wall  with  it.  And  Da'vid  avoided  out  of 
his  presence  twice. 

12  ^And  Saul  was  "afraid  of  Da'vid,  because  "the  Lord 
was  with  him,  and  was  ^departed  from  Saul. 

13  Therefore  Saul  removed  him  from  him,  and  made  him 
his  captain  over  a  thousand;  and  'he  went  out  and  came  in 
before  the  people. 

14  And  Da'vid  ||  behaved  himself  wisely  in  all  his  ways; 
and  ""the  Lord  was  with  him. 

15  Wherefore  when  Saul  saw  that  he  behaved  himself 
very  wisely,  he  was  afraid  of  him. 

16  But  'all  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah  loved  Da'vid,  because  he  went 
out  and  came  in  before  them. 

17  T[And  Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  Behold  my  elder  daughter 
Me'rab,  'her  will  I  give  thee  to  wife :  only  be  thou  fvaliant 
for  me,  and  fight  "the  Lord's  battles.  For  Saul  said,  "'Let 
not  mine  hand  be  upon  him,  but  let  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines  be  upon  him. 

18  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Saul,  "Who  am  I?  and  what  is 
my  life,  or  my  father's  family  in  Is'ra-el,  that  I  should  be 
son  in  law  to  the  king? 

19  But  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time  when  Me'rab  Saul's 
daughter  should  have  been  given  to  Da'vid,  that  she  was 
given  unto  "A'dri-el  the  "Me-hol'ath-ite  to  wife. 

20  'And  Mi'chal  Saul's  daughter  loved  Da'vid :  and  they 
told  Saul,  and  the  thing  fpleased  him. 

21  And  Saul  said,  I  will  give  him  her,  that  she  may  be  'a 
snare  to  him,  and  that  ''the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  may  be 
against  him.  Wherefore  Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  shalt 
''this  day  be  my  son  in  law  in  the  one  of  the  twain. 

22  ^And  Saul  commanded  his  servants,  saying,  Commune 
with  Da'vid  secretly,  and  say,  Behold,  the  king  hath  delight 
in  thee,  and  all  his  servants  love  thee :  now  therefore  be  the 
king's  son  in  law. 

23  And  Saul's  servants  spake  those  words  in  the  ears  of 
Da'vid.  And  Da'vid  said,  Seemeth  it  to  you  a  light  thing  to 
be  a  king's  son  in  law,  seeing  that  I  am  a  poor  man  and 
lightly  esteemed? 

24  And  the  servants  of  Saul  told  him,  saying,  ^Oa.  this 
manner  spake  Da'vid. 

25  And  Saul  said.  Thus  shall  ye  say  to  Da'vid,  The  king 
desireth  not  any  -'^dowry,  but  a  hundred  foreskins  of  the  Phi- 
lis'tines,  to  be  "avenged  of  the  king's  enemies.  But  Saul 
'^thought  to  make  Da'vid  fall  by  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

26  And  when  his  servants  told  Da'vid  these  words,  it 
pleased  Da'vid  well  to  be  the  king's  son  in  law :  and  'the 
days  were  not  f expired. 

27  Wherefore  Da'vid  arose  and  went,  he  and  'his  men,  and 
slew  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  two  hundred  men ;  and  'Da'vid 
brought  their  foreskins,  and  they  gave  them  in  full  tale  to 
the  king,  that  he  might  be  the  king's  son  in  law.  And 
Saul  gave  him  Mi'chal  his  daughter  to  wife. 

28  ^And  Saul  saw  and  knew  that  the  Lord  was  with 
Da'vid,  and  that  Mi'chal  Saul's  daughter  loved  him, 

29  And  Saul  was  yet  the  more  afraid  of  Da'vid ;  and  Saul 
became  Da'vid's  enemy  continually. 

30  Then  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  "went  forth :  and  it 
came  to  pass,  after  they  went  forth,  that  Da'vid  "behaved  him- 
self more  wisely  than  all  the  servants  of  Saul:  so  that  his  name 
was  much  f  set  by. 

CHAPTER  XIX. 

Jonathan  discloseth  his  father's  purpose  to  kill  David. 

AND  Saul  spake  to  Jon'a-than  his  son,  and  to  all  his 
servants,  that  they  should  kill  Da'vid. 
2  But  Jon'a-than,  Saul's  son,  "delighted  much  in  Da'vid :  and 
Jon'a-than  told  Da'vid,  saying,  Saul  my  father  seeketh  to  kill 
thee :  now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  take  heed  to  thyself  until 
the  morning,  and  abide  in  a  secret  place,  and  hide  thyself; 


11  And  Saul  cast  the  spear;  for  he  said,  I  will  smite 
Da'vid  even  to  the  wall.     And  Da'vid  avoided  out  of 

12  his  presence  twice.  And  Saul  was  afraid  of  Da'vid, 
because  the  Lord  was  with  him,  and  was  departed 

13  from  Saul.  Therefore  Saul  removed  him  from  him, 
and  made  him  his  captain  over  a  thousand ;  and  he 

14  went  out  and  came  in  before  the  people.  And  Da'vid 
'behaved  himself  wisely  in  all  his  ways;   and   the 

15  Lord  was  with  him.  And  when  Saul  saw  that  he 
behaved  himself  very  wisely,  he  stood  in  awe  of  him. 

16  But  all  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah  loved  Da'vid ;  for  he  went 
out  and  came  in  before  them. 

17  And  Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  Behold  my  elder  daugh- 
ter Me'rab,  h«r  will  I  give  thee  to  wife  :  only  be  thou 
valiant  for  me,  and  fight  the  Lord's  battles.  For 
Saul  said.  Let  not  mine   hand  be  upon  him,  but  let 

18  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  be  upon  him.  And 
Da'vid  said  unto  Saul,  Who  am  I,  and  ^what  is  my 
life,  or  my  Other's  family  in  Is'ra-el,  that  I  should  be 

19 son  in  law  Lo  the  king?  But  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  when  Me'rab  Saul's  daughter  should  have  been 
given  to  Da'vid,  that  she  was  given  unto  A'dri-el  the 

20Me-hol'ath-ite  to  wife.  And  Mi'chal  Saul's  daughter 
loved  Da'vid :    and  they  told   Saul,  and  the  thing 

21  pleased  him.  And  Saul  said,  I  will  give  him  her, 
that  she  may  be  a  snare  to  him,  and  that  the  hand 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  may  be  against  him.  Wherefore 
Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  shalt  this  day  be  my  son 

22  in  law  a  second  time.  And  Saul  commanded  his 
servants,  saying,  Commune  with  Da'vid  secretly,  and 
say.  Behold,  the  king  hath  delight  in  thee,  and  all 
his  servants  love  thee:  now  therefore  be  the  king's 

23  son  in  law.  And  Saul's  servants  spake  those  words 
in  the  ears  of  Da'vid.  And  Da'vid  said,  Seemeth  it 
to  you  a  light  thing  to  be  the  king's  son  in  law,  see- 
ing that  I   am  a  poor  man,  and  lightly  esteemed? 

24  And  the  servants  of  Saul  told  him,  saying.  On  this 
26  manner  spake  Da'vid.      And  Saul  said.  Thus  shall 

ye  say  to  Da'vid,  The  king  desireth  not  any  dowry, 
but  an  hundred  foreskins  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  to  be 
avenged  of  the  king's  enemies.  Now  Saul  thought 
to  make  Da'vid  fall  by  .the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

26  And  when  his  servants  told  Da'vid  these  words,  it 
pleased   Da'vid  well   to   be  the   king's  son  in  law. 

27 And  the  days  were  not  expired;  and  Da'vid  arose 
and  went,  he  and  his  men,  and  slew  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines two  hundred  men;  and  Da'vid  brought  their 
foreskins,  and  they  gave  them  in  full  tale  to  the 
king,  that  he  might  be  the  king's  son  in  law.     And 

28  Saul  gave  him  Mi'chal  his  daughter  to  wife.  And 
Saul  saw  and  knew  that  the  Lord  was  with  Da'vid ; 

29  and  Mi'chal  Saul's  daughter  loved  him.  And  Saul 
was  yet  the  more  afraid  of  Da'vid ;  and  Saul  was 
Da'vid's  enemy  continually. 

30  Then  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  went  forth : 
and  it  came  to  pass,  as  often  as  they  went  forth, 
that  Da'vid  ^behaved  himself  more  wisely  than  all 
the  servants  of  Saul;  so  that  his  name  was  much 
*set  by.

And  Saul  spake  to  Jon'a-than  his  son,  and  to  all  his 
2  servants,  that  they  should  slay  Da'vid.  But  Jon'a-than 
Saul's  son  delighted  much  in  Da'vid.  And  Jon'a-than 
told  Da'vid,  saying,  Saul  my  father  seeketh  to  slay  thee: 
now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  take  heed  to  thyself  in  the 
morning,  and  abide  in  a  secret  place,  and  hide  thyself:

3  And  I  will  go  out  and  stand  beside  my  father  in  the 
field  where  thou  art,  and  I  will  commune  with  my  father  of 
thee ;  and  what  I  see,  that  I  will  tell  thee. 

4  ^And  Jon'a-than  'spake  good  of  Da'vid  unto  Saul  his 
father,  and  said  unto  him,  Let  not  the  king  "sin  against  his 
servant,  against  Da'vid ;  because  he  hath  not  sinned  against 
thee,  and  because  his  works  have  been  to  thee-ward  very  good : 

5  For  he  did  put  his  ''life  in  his  hand,  and  'slew  the  Phi-Iis'- 
tine,  and  ■'^the  Lord  wrought  a  great  salvation  for  all  Is'ra-el : 
thou  sawest  it,  and  didst  rejoice :  "wherefore  then  wilt  thou 
'sin  against  innocent  blood,  to  slay  Da'vid  without  a  cause  ? 

6  And  Saul  hearkened  unto  the  voice  of  Jon'a-than :  and 
Saul  sware.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  he  shall  not  be  slain. 

7  And  Jon'a-than  called  Da'vid,  and  Jon'a-than  shewed  him 
all  those  things.  And  Jon'athan  brought  Da'vid  to  Saul, 
and  he  was  in  his  presence,  'as  fin  times  past. 

8  ^And  there  was  war  again :  and  Da'vid  went  out,  atd 
fought  with  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  slew  them  with  a  great 
slaughter ;  and  they  fled  from  fhim. 

9  And  *the  evil  spirit  from  the  Lord  was  upon  Saul,  as  he 
sat  in  his  house  with  his  javelin  in  his  hand :  and  Da'vid 
played  with  his  hand. 

10  And  Saul  sought  to  smite  Da'vid  even  to  the  wall 
with  the  javelin ;  but  he  slipped  away  out  of  Saul's  pres- 
ence, and  he  smote  the  javelin  into  the  wall :  and  Da'vid 
fled,  and  escaped  that  night. 

11  'Saul  also  sent  messengers  unto  Da'vid's  house,  to 
watch  him,  and  to  slay  him  in  the  morning :  and  Mi'chal 
Da'vid's  wife  told  him,  sa;  In^,  f  thou  save  not  thy  life  to- 
night, to-morrow  thou  shaL  be  slain. 

12  ^So  Mi'chal  "let  Da'vid  d  jwn  through  a  window :  and 
he  went,  and  fled,  and  escaped. 

13  And  Mi'chal  took  an  fimage,  and  laid  it  in  the  bed,  and 
put  a  pillow  of  goats'  hair  for  his  bolster,  and  covered  it 
with  a  cloth. 

14  And  when  Saul  sent  messengers  to  take  Da'vid,  she 
said.  He  is  sick.  • 

15  And  Saul  sent  the  messengers  again  to  see  Da'vid, 
saying.  Bring  him  up  to  me  in  the  bed,  that  I  may  slay  him. 

16  And  when  the  messengers  were  come  in,  behold,  there 
was  an  image  in  the  bed,  with  a  pillow  of  goats'  hair  for 
his  bolster. 

17  And  Saul  said  unto  Mi'chal,  Why  hast  thou  deceived 
me  so,  and  sent  away  mine  enemv,  that  he  is  escaped  ?  And 
Mi'chal  answered  Saul,  He  said  unto  me.  Let  me  go;  "why 
should  I  kill  thee? 

18  ^So  Da'vid  fled,  and  escaped,  and  came  to  Sam'u-el  to 
Ra'mah,  and  told  him  all  that  Saul  had  done  to  him.  And 
he  and  Sam'u-el  went  and  dwelt  in  Na'ioth. 

19  And  it  was  told  Saul,  saying.  Behold,  Da'vid  is  at 
Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah. 

20  And  "Saul  sent  messengers  to  take  Da'vid :  "and  when 
they  saw  the  company  of  the  prophets  prophesying,  and 
Sam'u-el  standing  as  appointed  over  them,  the  Spirit  of  God 
was  upon  the  messengers  of  Saul,  and  they  also  'prophesied. 

21  And  when  it  was  told  Saul,  he  sent  other  messengers, 
and  they  prophesied  likewise.  And  Saul  sent  messengers 
again  the  third  time,  and  they  prophesied  also. 

22  Then  went  he  also  to  Ra'mah,  and  came  to  a  great  well 
that  is  in  Se'chu:  and  he  asked  and  said.  Where  are  Sam'u-el 
and  Da'vid  ?  And  one  said,  Behold,  they  be  at  Na'ioth  in 
Ra'mah. 

23  And  he  went  thither  to  Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah :  and  'the 
Spirit  of  God  was  upon  him  also,  and  he  went  on,  and 
prophesied,  until  he  came  to  Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah. 

24  'And  he  stripped  ofi"  his  clothes  also,  and  prophesied 
before  Sam'u-el  in  like  manner,  and  flay  down  'naked  all 
that  day  and  a]\  that  night.  Wherefore  they  say,  "Is  Saul 
also  among  the  jrophets? 


3  and  I  will  go  out  and  stand  beside  my  father  in  the 
field  where  thou  art,  and  I  will  commune  with  my 
father  of  thee;  and  if  I  see  aught,  I  will  tell  thee. 

4  And  Jon'a-than  spake  good  of  Da'vid  unto  Saul  his 
father,  and  said  unto  him.  Let  not  the  king  sin 
against  his  servant,  against  Da'vid ;  because  he  hath 
not    sinned    against    thee,  and    because   his  works 

5  have  been  to  thee-ward  very  good :  for  he  put  his 
life  in  his  hand,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tine,  and 
the  Lord  wrought  a  great  'victory  for  all  Is'ra-el : 
thou  sawest  it,  and  didst  rejoice :  wherefore  then 
wilt  thou  sin  against  innocent  blood,  to  slay  Da'vid 

6  without  a  cause  ?  And  Saul  hearkened  unto  the 
voice  of  Jon'a-than:  and  Saul  sware.  As  the  Lord 

7  liveth,  he  shall  not  be  put  to  death.  And  Jon'a-than 
called  Da'vid,  and  Jon'a-than  shewed  him  all  those 
things.  A  nd  Jon'a-than  brought  Da'vid  to  Saul,  and 
he  was  in  his  presence,  as  beforetime. 

8  And  there  was  war  again :  and  Da'vid  went  out, 
and  fought  with  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  slew  them  with 

9a  great  slaughter;  and  they  fled  before  him.  And 
^an  evil  spirit  from  the  Lord  was  upon  Saul,  as  he 
sat   in  his  house  with   his  spear  in  his  hand ;  and 

10  Da'vid  played  with  his  hand.  And  Saul  sought  to 
smite  Da'vid  even  to  the  wall  with  the  spear;  but 
he  slipped  away  out  of  Saul's  presence,  and  he  smote 
the  spear  into  the  wall :  and  Da'vid  fled,  and  escaped 

11  that  night.  And  Saul  sent  messengers  unto  David's 
house,  to  watch  him,  and  to  slay  him  in  the  morn- 
ing :  and  Mi'chal  Da'vid's  wife  told  him,  saying.  If 
thou  save  not  thy  life  to-night,  to-morrow  thou  shalt 

12  be  slain.     So  Mi'chal  let  Da'vid  down  through  the 

13  window :  and  he  went,  and  fled,  and  escaped.  And 
Mi'chal  took  the  teraphim,  and  laid  it  in  the  bed,  and 
put  a  'pillow  of  goats'  hair  at  the  head  thereof,  and 

14  covered  it  with  the  clothes.     And  when  Saul  sent 

15  messengers  to  take  Da'vid,  she  said.  He  is  sick.  And 
Saul  sent  the  messengers  to  see  Da'vid,  saying,  Bring 

16  him  up  to  me  in  the  bed,  that  I  may  slay  him.  And 
when  the  messengers  came  in,  behold,  the  teraphim 
was  in  the  bed,  with  the  'pillow  of  goats'  hair  at  the 

17  head  thereof.  And  Saul  said  unto  Mi'chal,  W^hy  hast 
thou  deceived  me  thus,  and  let  mine  enemy  go,  that 
he  is  escaped  ?  And  Mi'chal  answered  Saul,  He  said 
unto  me.  Let  me  go ;  why  should  I  kill  thee  ? 

18  Now  Da'vid  fled,  and  escaped,  and  came  to  Sam'u-el 
to  Ra'mah,  and  told  him  all  that  Saul  had  done  to 
him.     And  he  and  Sam'u-el  went  and  dwelt  in  Na'- 

19ioth.     And  it  was  told  Saul,  saying.  Behold,  Da'vid 

20  is  at  Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah.  And  Saul  .sent  messengers 
to  take  Da'vid :  and  when  they  saw  the  company  of 
the  prophets  prophesying,  and  Sam'u-el  standing  as 
head  over  them,  the  spirit  of  God  came  upon  the 

21  messengers  of  Saul,  and  they  also  prophesied.  And 
when  it  was  told  Saul,  he  sent  other  messengers, 
and  they  also  prophesied.  And  Saul  sent  messen- 
gers again  the  third  time,  and  they  also  prophesied. 

22  Then  went  he  also  to  Ra'mah,  and  came  to  Hhe  great 
"well  that  is  in  Se'cu :  and  he  asked  and  said,  Where 
are  Sam'u-el  and  Da'vid  ?    And  one  said, Behold,  they 

23  be  at  Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah.  And  he  went  thither  to 
Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah :  and  the  spirit  of  God  came  upon 
him  also,  and  he  went  on,  and  prophesied,  until  he 

24  came  to  Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah.  And  he  also  stripped 
off  his  clothes,  and  he  also  prophesied  before  Sam'- 
u-el, and  'lay  down  naked  all  that  day  and  all  that 
night.  Wherefore  they  say,  Is  Saul  also  among  the 
prophets  ?

David  consuUeth  with  Jonathan  /or  his  safety. 

AND  Da'vid  fled  from  Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah,  and  came  and 
said  before  Jon'a-than,  What  have  I  done  ?  what  is  mine 
iniquity?  and  what  is  my  sin  before  thy  father,  that  he 
seeketh  my  life? 

2  And  he  said  unto  him,  God  forbid ;  thou  shalt  not  die  : 
behold,  my  father  will  do  nothing  either  great  or  small,  but 
that  he  will  fshew  it  me :  and  why  should  my  father  hide 
this  thing  from  me  ?  it  is  not   so. 

3  And  Da'vid  sware  moreover,  and  said,  Thy  father  cer- 
tainly knoweth  that  I  have  found  grace  in  thine  eyes ;  and 
he  saith.  Let  not  Jon'a-than  know  this,  lest  he  be  grieved  : 
but  truly,  as  the  Loed  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  there  is 
but  a  step  between  me  and  death. 

4  Then  said  Jon'a-than  unto  Da'vid,  ]|  Whatsoever  thy  soul 
fdesireth,  I  will  even  do  it  for  thee. 

5  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Jon'athan,  Behold,  to-morrow,  is 
the  "new  moon,  and  I  should  not  fail  to  sit  with  the  king 
at  meat :  but  let  me  go,  that  I  may  'hide  myself  in  the  field 
unto  the  third  day  at  even. 

6  If  thy  father  at  all  miss  me,  then  say,  Da'vid  earnestly 
asked  leave  of  me,  that  he  might  run  ""to  Beth'-le-hem  his 
city  :  for  there  is  a  yearly  ||  sacrifice  there  for  all  the  family. 

7  ''If  he  say  thus.  It  is  well :  thy  servant  shall  have  peace : 
but  if  he  be  very  wroth,  then  be  sure  that  'evil  is  determined 
by  him. 

8  Therefore  thou  shalt  -^deal  kindly  with  thy  servant ;  for 
"thou  hast  brought  thy  servant  into  a  covenant  of  the  Lord 
with  thee:  notwithstanding,  ''if  there  be  in  me  iniquity, 
slay  me  thyself;  for  why  shouldest  thou  bring  me  to  thy 
father? 

9  And  Jon'a-than  said.  Far  be  it  from  thee :  for  if  I  knew 
certainly  that  evil  were  determined  by  my  father  to  come 
upon  thee,  then  would  not  I  tell  it  thee  ? 

10  Then  said  Da'vid  to  Jon'a-than,  Who  shall  tell  me  ?  or 
what  if  thy  father  answer  thee  roughly  ? 

11  ^And  Jon'a-than  said  unto  Da'vid,  Come,  and  let  us  go 
out  into  the  field.  And  they  went  out  both  of  them  into 
the  field. 

12  And  Jon'a-than  said  unto  Da'vid,  O  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  when  I  have  f  sounded  my  father  about  to-morrow 
any  time,  or  the  third  day,  and,  behold,  if  there  be  good 
toward  Da'vid,  and  I  then  send  not  unto  thee,  and  fshew 
it  thee ; 

13  'The  Lord  do  so  and  much  more  to  Jon'a-than :  but  if 
it  please  my  father  to  do  thee  evil,  then  I  will  shew  it  thee, 
and  send  thee  away,  that  thou  mayest  go  in  peace :  and  *the 
Lord  be  with  thee,  as  he  hath  been  with  my  father. 

14  And  thou  shalt  not  only  while  yet  I  live  shew  me  the 
kindness  of  the  Lord,  that  I  die  not : 

15  But  also  'thou  shall  not  cut  off  thy  kindness  from  my 
house  for  ever :  no,  not  when  the  Lord  hath  cut  off  the 
enemies  of  Da'vid  every  one  from  the  face  of  the  earth. 

16  So  Jon'a-than  fmade  a  covenani  with  the  house  of  Da'vid, 
saying,  ™Let  the  Lord  even  require  it  at  the  hand  of  Da'vid's 
enemies. 

17  And  Jon'athan  caused  Da'vid  to  swear  again,  ||  because 
he  loved  him :  "for  he  loved  him  as  he  loved  his  own  soul. 

18  Then  Jon'athan  said  to  Da'vid,  "To-morrow  is  the  new 
moon :  and  thou  shalt  be  missed,  because  thy  seat  will  be 
fempty. 

19  And  when  thou  hast  stayed  three  days,  then  thou  shalt 
go  down  lltquickly,  and  come  to  "the  place  where  thou 
didst  hide  thyself  fwhen  the  business  was  in  hand,  and 
shalt  remain  by  the  stone  ||  E'zel. 

20  And  I  will  shoot  three  arrows  on  the  side  thereof,  as 
though  I  shot  at  a  mark. 

21  And,  behold,  I  will  send  a  lad,  saying,  Go,  find  out  the 


I  ^  V  And  Da'vid  fled  from  Na'ioth  in  Ra'mah,  and  came 
and  said  before  Jon'athan,  What  have  I  done  ?  what 
is  mine   iniquity  ?  and  what  is   my  sin   before  thy 

2  father,  that  he  seeketh  my  life  ?  And  he  said  unto 
him,  God  forbid ;  thou  shalt  not  die :  behold,  my 
father  doeth  nothing  either  great  or  small,  but  that 
he  'discloseth  it  unto  me :  and  why  should  my  father 

3 hide  this  thing  from  me?  it  is  not  so.  And  Da'vid 
sware  moreover,  and  said.  Thy  father  knoweth  well 
that  I  have  found  grace  in  thine  eyes ;  and  he  saith. 
Let  not  Jon'a-than  know  this,  lest  he  be  grieved :  but 
truly  as  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth, 

4  there  is  but  a  step  between  me  and  death.  Then 
said  Jon'a-than  unto  Da'vid,  ^Whatsoever  thy  soul 

5'desireth,  I  will  even  do  it  for  thee.  And  Da'vid 
said  unto  Jon'athan,  Behold,  to-morrow  is  the  new 
moon,  and  I  should  not  fail  to  sit  with  the  king  at 
meat :  but  let  me  go,  that  I  may  hide  myself  in  the 

6  field  unto  the  third  day  at  even.  If  thy  father  miss 
me  at  all,  then  say,  Da'vid  earnestly  asked  leave  of 
me  that  he  might  run  to  Beth'-le-hem  his  city :  for  it 

7  is  the  yearly  sacrifice  there  for  all  the  family.  If  he 
say  thus,  It  is  well ;  thy  servant  shall  have  peace : 
but  if  he  be  wroth,  then  know  that  evil  is  determined 

8 by  him.  Therefore  deal  kindly  with  thy  servant; 
for  thou  hast  brought  thy  servant  into  a  covenant 
of  the  Lord  with  thee :  but  if  there  be  in  me  iniquity, 
slay  me  thyself;  for   why  shouldest  thou  bring  me 

9  to  thy  father  ?  And  Jon'a-than  said.  Far  be  it  from 
thee :  for  if  I  should  at  all  know  that  evil  were  de- 
termined by   my  father  to   come   upon   thee,  then 

10  would  not  I  tell  it  thee  ?  Then  said  Da'vid  to  Jon'a- 
than, Who   shall  tell  me  if  perchance  thy  father 

11  answer  thee  roughly?  And  Jon'a-than  said  unto 
Da'vid,  Come  and  let  us  go  out  into  the  field.  And 
they  went  out  both  of  them  into  the  field. 

12  And  Jon'a-than  said  unto  Da'vid,  The  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  be  witness  ;  when  I  have  sounded  my 
father  about  this  time  to-morrow,  or  the  third  day, 
behold,  if  there  be  good  toward  Da'vid,  shall  I  not 

13  then  send  unto 'thee,  and  disclose  it  unto  thee?  The 
Lord  do  so  to  Jon'a-than,  and  more  also,  should  it 
please  my  father  to  do  thee  evil,  if  I  disclose  it  not 
unto  thee,  and  send  thee  away,  that  thou  mayest  go 
in  peace :  and  the  Lord  be  with  thee,  as  he  hath 

14  been  with  my  father.  And  thou  shalt  not  only 
while  yet  I  live  shew  me  the  kindness  of  the  Lord 

15 that  I  die  not:  but  also  thou  shalt  not  cut  off  thy 
kindness  from  my  house  for  ever  :  no,  not  when  the 
Lord  hath  cut  off  the  enemies  of  Da'vid  every  one 

16  from  the  face  of  the  earth.  So  Jon'a-than  made  a  cov- 
enant with  the  house  of  Da'vid,  saying,  And  the  Lord 
shall    require   it   at  the  hand  of  Da'vid's  enemies. 

17  And  Jon'a-than  caused  Da'vid  to  swear  again,  *for  the 
love  that  he  had  to  him :  for  he  loved  him  as  he 

18  loved  his  own  soul.  Then  Jon'a-than  said  unto  him. 
To-morrow  is   the  new   moon  :  and  thou  shalt  be 

19  missed,  because  thy  seat  will  be  'empty.  And  when 
thou  hast  stayed  three  days,  thou  shalt  go  down 
^quickly,  and  come  to  the  place  where  thou  didst  hide 
thyself 'when  the  business  was  in  hand,  and  shalt  re- 

20  main  by  Hhe  stone  E'zel.  And  I  will  shoot  three  ar- 
rows on  the  side  thereof,  as  though  I  shot  at  a  mark. 

21  And,  behold,  I  will  send  the  lad,  saying,  Go,  find  the

arrows.  If  I  expressly  say  unto  the  lad,  Behold,  the  arrows 
are  on  this  side  of  thee,  take  them ;  then  come  thou :  for 
there  is  peace  to  thee,  and  fno  hurt ;  ''as  the  Lord  liveth. 

22  But  if  I  say  thus  unto  the  young  man.  Behold,  the  arrows 
are  beyond  thee ;  go  thy  way :  for  the  Loed  hath  sent  thee 
away. 

23  And  as  touching  ""the  matter  which  thou  and  I  have 
spoken  of,  behold,  the  Loed  be  between  thee  and  me  for  ever. 

24  ^So  Da'vid  hid  himself  in  the  field :  and  when  the  new 
moon  was  come,  the  king  sat  him  down  to  eat  meat. 

25  And  the  king  sat  upon  his  seat,  as  at  other  times,  even 
upon  a  seat  by  the  wall :  and  Jon'a-than  arose,  and  Ab'ner  sat 
by  Saul's  side,  and  Da'vid's  place  was  empty. 

26  Nevertheless  Saul  spake  not  any  thing  that  day :  for  he 
thought.  Something  hath  befallen  him,  he  is  'not  clean; 
surely  he  is  not  clean. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  which  was  the  second 
day  of  the  month,  that  Da'vid's  place  was  empty  :  and  Saul 
said  unto  Jon'a-than  his  son.  Wherefore  cometh  not  the  son 
of  Jes'se  to  meat,  neither  yesterday,  nor  to-day  ? 

28  And  Jon'a-than  'answered  Saul,  Da'vid  earnestly  asked 
leave  of  me  to  go  to  Beth'-le-hem : 

29  And  he  said,  Let  me  go,  I  pray  thee;  for  our  family 
hath  a  sacrifice  in  the  city ;  and  my  brother,  he  hath  com- 
manded me  to  be  there:  and  now,  if  I  have  found  favour  in 
thine  eyes,  let  me  get  away,  I  pray  thee,  and  see  my  breth- 
ren.    Therefore  he  cometh  not  unto  the  king's  table. 

30  Then  Saul's  anger  was  kindled  against  Jon'a-than,  and 
he  said  unto  him,  HfThou  son  of  the  perverse  rebellious 
woman,  do  not  I  know  that  thou  hast  chosen  the  son  of 
Jes'se  to  thine  own  confusion,  and  unto  the  confusion  of  thy 
mother's  nakedness? 

31  For  as  long  as  the  son  of  Jes'se  liveth  upon  the  ground, 
thou  shalt  not  be  established,  nor  thy  kingdom.  Wherefore 
now  send  and  fetch  him  unto  me,  for  he  fshall  surely  die. 

32  And  Jon'a-than  answered  Saul,  his  father,  and  said  unto 
him,  "Wherefore  shall  he  be  slain  ?  what  hath  he  done  ? 

33  And  Saul  "cast  a  javelin  at  him  to  smite  him :  "whereby 
Jon'a-than  knew  that  it  was  determined  of  his  father  to  slay 
Da'vid. 

34  So  Jon'a-than  arose  from  the  table  in  fierce  anger,  and 
did  eat  no  meat  the  second  day  of  the  month:  for  he  was 
grieved  for  Da'vid,  because  his  father  had  done  him  shame. 

35  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning,  that  Jon'a-than 
went  out  into  the  field  St  the  time  appointed  with  Da'vid,  and 
a  little  lad  with  him.  * 

36  And  he  said  unto  his  lad.  Run,  find  out  now  the  arrows 
which  I  shoot.  And  as  the  lad  ran,  he  shot  an  arrow  f be- 
yond him. 

37  And  when  the  lad  was  come  to  the  place  of  the  arrow 
which  Jon'a-than  had  shot,  Jon'a-than  cried  after  the  lad,  and 
said.  Is  not  the  arrow  beyond  thee? 

38  And  Jon'a-than  cried  after  the  lad.  Make  speed,  haste, 
stay  not.  And  Jon'a-than's  lad  gathered  up  the  arrows,  and 
came  to  his  master. 

39  But  the  lad  knew  not  any  thing :  only  Jon'a-than  and 
Da'vid  knew  the  matter. 

40  And  Jon'a-than  gave  his  fartillery  unto  fhis  lad,  and 
said  unto  him.  Go,  carry  them  to  the  city. 

41  ^And  as  soon  as  the  lad  was  gone,  Da'vid  arose  out 
of  a  place  toward  the  south,  and  fell  on  his  face  to  the 
ground,  and  bowed  himself  three  times:  and  they  kissed 
one  another,  and  wept  one  with  another,  until  Da'vid  ex- 
ceeded. 

42  And  Jon'a-than  said  to  Da'vid,  'Go  in  peace,  ||  forasmuch 
as  we  have  sworn  both  of  us  in  the  name  of  the  Loed,  say- 
ing, The  Lord  be  between  me  and  thee,  and  between  my 
seed  and  thy  seed  for  ever.  And  he  arose  and  departed : 
and  Jon'a-than  went  into  the  city. 


arrows.  If  I  say  unto  the  lad.  Behold,  the  arrows 
are  on  this  side  of  thee :  take  'them,  and  come ;  for 
there  is  peace   to  thee  and  ^no  hurt,  as  the  Lord 

22  liveth.  But  if  I  say  thus  unto  the  boy.  Behold,  the 
arrows  are  beyond  thee :    go  thy  way ;    for  the  Lord 

23  hath  sent  thee  away.  And  as  touching  the  matter 
which  thou  and  I  have  spoken  of,  behold,  the  Lord 
is  between  thee  and  me  for  ever. 

24  So  Da'vid  hid  himself  in  the  field :  and  when  the 
new  moon  was  come,  the  king  sat  him  down  to  eat 

25  meat.  And  the  king  sat  upon  his  seat,  as  at  other 
times,  even  upon  the  seat  by  the  wall ;  and  Jon'a-than 
stood  up,  and  Ab'ner  sat  by  Saul's  side :  but  Da'vid's 

26  place  was  empty.  Nevertheless  Saul  spake  not  any 
thing  that  day :  for  he  thought,  Something  hath  be- 
fallen him,  he  is  not  clean ;   surely  he  is  not  clean 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow  after  the  new 
moon,  which  was  the  second  day,  that  Da'vid's  place 
was  empty :  and  Saul  said  unto  Jon'a-than  his  son. 
Wherefore   cometh   not  the  son  of  Jes'se  to  meat, 

28  neither  yesterday,  nor  to-day  ?  And  Jon'a-than  an 
swered  Saul,  Da'vid  earnestly  asked  leave  of  me  to 

29  go  to  Beth'-le-hem :  and  he  said.  Let  me  go,  I  pray 
thee ;  for  our  family  hath  a  sacrifice  in  the  city ;  and 
my  brother,  he  hath  commanded  me  to  be  there :  and 
now,  if  I  have  found  favour  in  thine  eyes,  let  me  get 
away,  I  pray  thee,  and  see  my  brethren.     Therefore 

30  he  is  not  come  unto  the  king's  table.  Then  Saul's 
anger  was  kindled  against  Jon'a-than,  and  he  said  unto 
him.  Thou  son  of  a  perverse  rebellious  woman,  do 
not  I  know  that  thou  hast  chosen  the  son  of  Jes'se 
to  thine  own  shame,  and  unto  the  shame  of  thy  moth 

31  er's  nakedness?  For  as  long  as  the  son  of  Jes'se 
liveth  upon  the  ground,  thou  shalt  not  be  stablished, 
nor  thy  kingdom.     Wherefore  now  send  and  fetch 

32  him  unto  me,  for  he  ^shall  surely  die.    And  Jon'a-than 
answered  Saul  his  father,  and  said  unto  him.  Where 
fore  should  he  be  put  to  dcMh  ?  what  hath  he  done  ? 

33  And  Saul  cast  his  spear  at  him  to  smite  him :  whereby 
Jon'a-than  knew  that  it  was  determined  of  his  father 

34  to  put  Da'vid  to  death.  So  Jon'a-than  arose  from  the 
table  in  fierce  anger,  and  did  eat  no  meat  the  second 
day  of  the  month :  for  he  was  grieved  for  Da'vid,  be- 
cause his  father  had  done  him  shame. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning,  that  Jon'a-than 
went  out  into  the  field  ^at  the  time  appointed  with 

36  Da'vid,  and  a  little  lad  with  him.  And  he  said  unto 
his  lad.  Run,  find  now  the  arrows  which  I  shoot. 
And  as  the  lad  ran,  he  shot  an  arrow  'beyond  him. 

37  And  when  the  lad  was  come  to  the  place  of  the  arrow 
which  Jon'a-than  had  shot,  Jon'a-than  cried  after  the 

38  lad,  and  said.  Is  not  the  arrow  beyond  thee  ?  And 
Jon'a-than  cried  after  the  lad.  Make  speed,  haste,  stay 
not.     And  Jon'a-than's  lad  gathered  up  the  arrows, 

39  and  came  to  his  master.  But  the  lad  knew  not  any 
thing:  only  Jon'a-than  and  Da'vid  knew  the  matter. 

40  And  Jon'a-than  gave  his  weapons  unto  his  lad,  and 

41  said  unto  him.  Go,  carry  them  to  the  city.  And  as 
soon  as  the  lad  was  gone,  Da'vid  arose  *out  of  a  place 
toward  the  South,  and  fell  on  his  face  to  the  ground, 
and  bowed  himself  three  times:  and  they  kissed  one 
another,  and  wept  one  with  another,  until  Da'vid  ex- 

42  ceeded.  And  Jon'a-than  said  to  Da'vid,  Go  in  peace, 
forasmuch  as  we  have  sworn  both  of  us  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  saying.  The  Lord  shall  be  between 
me  and  thee,  and  between  my  seed  and  thy  seed,  for 
ever.  And  he  arose  and  departed :  and  Jon'a-than 
went  into  the  city.

CHAF'TER    XXI. 

David  at  Nob  obtaineth  of  Ahimelech  hallowed  bread. 

THEN  came  Da'vid  to  Nob  to  "A-him'e-lech  the  priest : 
and  A-him'e-lech  was  ''afraid  at  the  meeting  of  Da'vid, 
and  said  unto  him, Why  art  thou  alone,  and  no  man  with  thee? 

2  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-him'e-lech  the  priest.  The  king 
hath  commanded  me  a  business,  and  hath  said  unto  me.  Let 
no  man  know  any  thing  of  the  business  whereabout  I  send 
thee,  and  what  I  have  commanded  thee:  and  I  have  ap- 
pointed my  servants  to  such  and  such  a  place. 

3  Now  therefore  what  is  under  thine  hand  ?  give  me  five 
loaves  of  bread  in  mine  hand,  or  what  there  is  fpresent. 

4  And  the  priest  answered  Da'vid,  and  said,  There  is  no 
common  bread  under  mine  hand,  but  there  is  ''hallowed 
bread;  ''if  the  young  men  have  kept  themselves  at  least 
from  women. 

5  And  Da'vid  answered  the  priest  and  said  unto  him.  Of 
a  truth  women  have  been  kept  from  us  about  these  three 
days,  since  I  came  out,  and  the  'vessels  of  the  young  men 
are  holy,  and  the  bread  is  in  a  manner  common,  ||yea, 
though  it  were  sanctified  this  day  -'^in  the  vessel. 

6  So  the  priest  "gave  him  hallowed  bread;  for  there  was 
no  bread  there  but  the  shewbread,  Hhat  was  taken  from 
before  the  Lokd,  to  put  hot  bread  in  the  day  when  it  was 
taken  away. 

7  Now  a  certain  man  of  the  servants  of  Saul  was  there 
that  day,  detained  before  the  Lord  ;  and  his  name  was 
'Do'eg,  an  E'dom-ite,  the  chiefest  of  the  herdmen  that  be- 
longed to  Saul. 

8  ^And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-him'e-lech,  And  is  there  not 
here  under  thine  hand  spear  or  sword?  for  I  have  neither 
brought  my  sword  nor  my  weapons  with  me,  because  the 
king's  business  required  haste. 

9  And  the  priest  said.  The  sword  .of  Go-li'ath  the  Phi-lis'- 
tine,  whom  thou  slewest  in  *the  valley  of  E'lah,  'behold,  it 
is  here  wrapped  in  a  cloth  behind  the  ephod:  if  thou  wilt 
take  that,  take  it :  for  there  is  no  other  save  that  here.  And 
Da'vid  said,  There  is  none  like  that ;  give  it  me. 

10  ^And  Da'vid  arose,  and  fled  that  day  for  fear  of  Saul, 
and  went  to  ||  A'chish  the  king  of  Gath. 

11  And  ™the  servants  of  A'chish  said  unto  him,  Is  not  this 
Da'vid  the  king  of  the  land?  did  they  not  sing  one  to 
another  of  him  in  dances,  saying,  "Saul  hath  slain  his  thou- 
sands, and  Da'vid  his  ten  thousands  ? 

12  And  Da'vid  "laid  up  these  words  in  his  heart,  and  was 
sore  afraid  of  A'chish  the  king  of  Gath. 

13  And  "he  changed  his  behaviour  before  them,  and 
feigned  himself  mad  in  their  hand,  and  ||  scrabbled  on  the 
doors  of  the  gate,  and  let  his  spittle  fall  down  upon  his 
beard. 

14  Then  said  A'chish  unto  his  servants,  Lo,  ye  see  the  man 
II is  mad:  wherefore  then  have  ye  brought  him  to  me? 

15  Have  I  need  of  madmen,  that  ye  have  brought  this 
fellow  to  play  the  madman  in  my  presence?  shall  this 
fellow  come  into  my  house? 

CHAPTER  X:XII. 

Companies  resort  unto  David  at  Adullam. 

DA'VID  therefore  departed  thence,  and  "escaped  'to  the 
cave  A-dul'lam :    and  when   his  brethren  and  all  his 
father's  house  hear^  it,  they  went  down  thither  to  him. 

2  "And  every  one  that  was  in  distress,  and  every  one  that 
■\was  in  debt,  and  every  one  that  was  fdiscontented,  gath- 
ered themselves  unto  him;  and  he  became  a  captain  over 
them :  and  there  were  with  him  about  four  hundred  men. 

3  ^And  Da'vid  went  thence  to  Miz'peh  of  Mo'ab :  and  he 
said  unto  the  king  of  Mo'ab,  Let  my  father  and  my  mother, 
I  pray  thee,  come  forth,  and  be  with  you,  till  I  know  what 
God  will  do  for  me. 


^-1-  Then  came  Da'vid  to  Nob  to  A-him'e-lech  the  priest: 
and  A-him'e-lech  came  to  meet  Da'vid  trembling,  and 
said  unto  him.  Why  art  thou  alone,  and  no  man  with 

2  thee  ?  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-him'e-lech  the  priest, 
The  king  hath  commanded  me  a  business,  and  hath 
said  unto  me,  Let  no  man  know  any  thing  of  the 
business  whereabout  I  send  thee,  and  what  I  have 
commanded  thee:  and  I  have  appointed  the  young 

3  men  to  such  and  such  a  place.  Now  therefore  what 
is  under  thine  hand?  give  me  five  loaves  of  bread 

4  in  mine  hand,  or  whatsoever  there  is  present.  And 
the  priest  answered  Da'vid,  and  said.  There  is  no 
common  bread  under  mine  hand,  but  there  is  holy 
bread ;  if  only  the  young  men  have  kept  themselves 

5  from  women.  And  Da'vid  answered  the  priest,  and 
said  unto  him,  Of  a  truth  women  have  been  kept 
from  us  about  these  three  days ;  when  I  came  out, 
the  vessels  of  the  young  men  were  holy,  'though  it 
was  but  a  common  journey ;   how  much   more  then 

6 to-day  shall  their  vessels  be  holy?  So  the  priest 
gave  him  holy  bread:  for  there  was  no  bread  there 
but  the  shewbread,  that  was  taken  from  before  the 
Lord,  to  put  hot  bread  in  the  day  when  it  was  taken 

7  away.  Now  a  certain  man  of  the  servants  of  Saul 
was  there  that  day,  detained  before  the  Lord;  and 
his  name  was  Do'eg  the  E'dom-ite,  the  ^chiefest  of 

8  the  herdmen  that  belonged  to  Saul.  And  Da'vid 
said  unto  A-him'e-lech,  And  is  there  not  here  under 
thine  hand  spear  or  sword;  for  I  have  neither 
brought  my  sword  nor  my  weapons  with  me,  be- 

9  cause  the  king's  business  required  haste.  And  the 
priest  said.  The  sword  of  Go-li'ath  the  Phi-lis'tine  whom 
thou  slewest  in  the  vale  of  'E'lah,  behold,  it  is  here 
wrapped  in  a  cloth  behind  the  ephod :  if  thou  wilt 
take  that,  take  it :  for  there  is  no  other  save  that 
here.  And  Da'vid  said,  There  is  none  like  that; 
give  it  me. 

10  And  Da'vid  arose,  and  fled  that  day  for  fear  of 

11  Saul,  and  went  to  A'chish  the  king  of  Gath.  And 
the  servants  of  A'chish  said  unto  him.  Is  not  this 
Da'vid  the  king  of  the  land  ?  did  they  not  sing  one 
to  another  of  him  in  dances,  saying, 

Saul  hath  slain  his  thousands, 
And  Da'vid  his  ten  thousands? 

12  And  Da'vid  laid  up  these  words  in  his  heart,  and 

13  was  sore  afraid  of  A'chish  the  king  of  Gath.  And  he 
changed  his  behaviour  before  them,  and  feigned  him- 
self mad  in  their  hands,  and  ''scrabbled  on  the  doors 
of  the  gate,  and  let  his  spittle  fall  down  upon  his 

14  beard.  Then  said  A'chish  unto  his  servants,  Lo,  ye 
see  the  man  is  mad :  wherefore  then  have  ye  brought 

15 him  to  me?  Do  I  lack  mad  men,  that  ye  have 
brought  this  fellow  to  play  the  mad  man  in  my  pres- 
ence? shall  this  fellow  come  into  my  house? 

^>^  Da'vid  therefore  departed  thence,  and  escaped  to 
the  cave  of  A-dul'lam :  and  when  his  brethren  and 
all   his   father's  house    heard    it,    they    went   down 

2  thither  to  him.  And  every  one  that  was  in  distress, 
and  every  one  that  was  in  debt,  and  every  one  that 
was  ^discontented,  gathered  themselves  unto  him ; 
and  he  became  captain  over  them :  and  there  were 
with  him  about  four  hundred  men. 

3  And  Da'vid  went  thence  to  Miz'peh  of  Mo'ab: 
and  he  said  unto  the  king  of  Mo'ab,  Let  my  father 
and  my  mother,  I  pray  thee,  come  forth,  and  be 
with  you,  till  I  know  what  God  will  do   for  me.

1  King! 
2.26. 


4  And  he  brought  them  before  the  king  of  Mo'ab :  and 
they  dwelt  with  him  all  the  while  that  Da'vid  was  in  the 
hold. 

5  ^And  the  prophet  ''Gad  said  unto  Da'vid,  Abide  not  in 
the  hold;  depart,  and  get  thee  into  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 
Then  Da'^^d  departed,  and  came  into  the  forest  of  Ha'reth. 

6  ^When  Saul  heard  that  Da'vid  was  discovered,  and  the 
men  that  were  with  him,  (now  Saul  abode  in  Gib'e-ah  under 
a  1 1  tree  in  Ra'mah,  having  his  spear  in  his  hand,  and  all  his 
servants  were  standing  about  him ;) 

7  Then  Saul  said  unto  his  servants  that  stood  about  him, 
Hear  now,  ye  Ben'ja-mites ;  will  the  Son  of  Jes'se  'give  every 
one  of  you  fields  and  vineyards,  and  make  you  all  captains 
of  thousands,  and  captains  of  hundreds; 

8  That  all  of  you  have  conspired  against  me,  and  thej-e  is 
none  that  sheweth  -fme  that  -^my  son  hath  made  a  league 
with  the  son  of  Jes'se,  and  there  is  none  of  you  that  is  sorry 
for  me,  or  sheweth  unto  me  that  my  son  hath  stirred  up  my 
servant  against  me,  to  lie  in  wait,  a!5  at  this  day? 

9  ^Then  answered  'Do'eg  the  E'dom-ite,  which  was  set 
over  the  servants  of  Saul,  and  said,  I  saw  the  son  of  Jes'se 
coming  to  Nob,  to  *A-him'e-lech  the  son  of  *A-hi'tub. 

10  *And  he  inquired  of  the  Lord  for  him,  and  'gave  him 
victuals,  and  gave  him  the  sword  of  Go-li'ath  the  Phi-lis'tine. 

11  Then  the  king  sent  to  call  A-him'e-lech  the  priest,  the 
son  of  A-hi'tub,  and  all  his  father's  house,  the  priests  that 
VKre  in  Nob :  and  they  came  all  of  them  to  the  king. 

12  And  Saul  said,  Hear  now,  thou  son  of  A-hi'tub.  And 
he  answered,  fHere  I  am,  my  lord. 

13  And  Saul  said  unto  him,  Why  have  ye  conspired 
against  me,  thou  and  the  son  of  Jes'se,  in  that  thou  hast 
given  him  bread,  and  a  sword,  and  hast  inquired  of  God 
for  him,  that  he  should  rise  against  me,  to  lie  in  wait,  as  at 
this  day? 

14  Then  A-him'e-lech  answered  the  king,  and  said,  And 
who  is  so  faithful  among  all  thy  servants  as  Da'vid,  which 
is  the  king's  son  in  law,  and  goeth  at  thy  bidding,  and  is 
honourable  in  thine  house  ? 

15  Did  I  then  begin  to  inquire  of  God  for  him?  be  it  far 
from  me :  let  not  the  king  impute  any  thing  unto  his  serv- 
ant, nor  to  all  the  house  of  my  father:  for  thy  servant 
knew  nothing  of  all  this,  fless  or  more. 

16  And  the  king  said.  Thou  shalt  surely  die,  A-him'e-lech, 
thou,  and  all  thy  father's  house. 

17  ^And  the  king  said  unto  the  Hffootmen  that  stood 
about  him.  Turn,  and  slay  the  priests  of  the  Lord  ;  because 
their  hand  also  is  with  Da'vid,  and  because  they  knew 
when  he  fled,  and  did  not  shew  it  to  me.  But  the  servants 
of  the  king  "would  not  put  forth  their  hand  to  fall  upon 
the  priests  of  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  king  said  to  Do'eg,  Turn  thou,  and  fall  upon 
the  priests.  And  Do'eg  the  E'dom-ite  turned,  and  he  fell 
upon  the  priests,  and  "slew  on  that  day  fourscore  and  five 
persons  that  did  wear  a  linen  ephod. 

19  "And  Nob,  the  city  of  the  priests,  smote  he  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  both  men  and  women,  children  and 
sucklings,  and  oxen,  and  asses,  and  sheep,  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword. 

20  ^"And  one  of  the  sons  of  A-him'e-lech  the  son  of  A-hi'- 
tub, named  A-bi'a-thar,  'escaped,  and  fled  after  Da'vid. 

21  And  A-bi'a-thar  shewed  Da'vid  that  Saul  had  slain  the 
Lord's  priests. 

22  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-bi'a-thar,  I  knew  it  that  day, 
when  Do'eg  the  E'dom-ite  was  there,  that  he  would  surely 
tell  Saul :  I  have  occasioned  the  death  of  all  the  persons  of 
thy  father's  house. 

23  Abide  thou   with  me,  fear  not:  'for  he  that  seeketh 


my  life  seeketh  thy  life : 
guard. 


but  with  me  thou  shalt  be  in  safe- 


4 And  he  brought  them  before  the  king  of  Mo'ab: 
and  they  dwelt  with  him  all  the  while  that  Da'vid 

5  was  in  the  hold.  And  the  prophet  Gad  said  unto 
Da'vid,  Abide  not  in  the  hold ;  depart,  and  get  thee 
into  the  land  of  Ju'dah.  Then  Da'vid  departed^  and 
came  into  the  forest  of  He'reth. 

6  And  Saul  heard  that  Da'vid  was  discovered,  and 
the  men  that  were  with  him :  now  Saul  was  sitting 
in  Gib'e-ah,  under  the  tamarisk  tree  'in  Ra'mah,  with 
his  spear  in    his  hand,  and    all  his    servants  were 

7  standing  about  him.  And  Saul  said  unto  his  serv- 
ants that  stood  about  him.  Hear  now,  ye  Ben'ja- 
mites  ;  will  the  son  of  Jes'se  give  every  one  of  you 
fields  and  vineyards,  will  he  make  you  all  captains 

8  of  thousands  and  captains  of  hundreds ;  that  all  of 
you  have  conspired  against  me,  and  ^there  is  none 
that  discloseth  to  me  when  my  son  maketh  a  league 
with  the  son  of  Jes'se,  and  there  is  none  of  you  that 
is  sorry  for  me,  or  discloseth  unto  me  that  my  son 
hath  stirred  up  my  servant  against  me,  to  lie  in  wait, 

9  as  at  this  day  ?  Then  answered  Do'eg  the  E'dom-ite, 
which  'stood  by  the  servants  of  Saul,  and  said,  I  saw 
the  son  of  Jes'se  coming  to  Nob,  to  A-him'e-lech  the 

10  son  of  A-hi'tub.  And  he  inquired  of  the  Lord  for 
him,  and  gave  him  victuals,  and  gave  him  the  sword 

11  of  Go-li'ath  the  Phi-lis'tine.  Then  the  king  sent  to  call 
A-him'e-lech  the  priest,  the  son  of  A-hi'tub,  and  all 
his  father's  house,  the  priests  that  were  in  Nob :  and 

12  they  came  all  of  them  to  the  king.  And  Saul  said. 
Hear  now,  thou  son  of  A-hi'tub.     And  he  answered, 

13  Here  I  am,  my  lord.  And  Saul  said  unto  him.  Why 
have  ye  conspired  against  me,  thou  and  the  son  of 
Jes'se,  in  that  thou  hast  given  him  bread,  and  a  sword, 
and  hast  inquired  of  God  for  him,  that  he  should 

14 rise  against  me,  to  lie  in  wait,  as  at  this  day?  Then 
A-him'e-lech  answered  the  king,  and  said.  And  who 
among  all  thy  servants  is  so  faithful  as  Da'vid, 
which  is  the  king's  son  in  law,  and  is  taken  into  thy 

15 council,  and  is  honourable  in  thine  house?  Have  I 
to-day  begun  to  inquire  of  God  for  him  ?  be  it  far 
from  me:  let  not  the  king  impute  any  thing  unto 
his  servant,  nor  to  all  the  house  of  my  father :  for 
thy  servant  knoweth  nothing  of  all  this,  less  or  more. 

16  And  the  king  said.  Thou  shalt  surely  die,  A-him'e- 

17  lech,  thou,  and  all  thy  father's  house.  And  the 
king  said  unto  the  *guard  that  stood  about  him. 
Turn,  and  slay  the  priests  of  the  Lord;  because 
their  hand  also  is  with  Da'vid,  and  because  they 
knew  that  he  fled,  and  did  not  disclose  it  to  me. 
But  the  servants  of  the  king  would  not  put  forth 
their  hand   to  fall  upon   the  priests  of  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  king  said  to  Do'eg,  Turn  thou,  and  fall 
upon  the  priests.  And  Do'eg  the  E'dom-ite  turned, 
and  he  fell  upon  the  priests,  and  he  slew  on  that  day 
fourscore  and    five    persons  that   did  wear  a  linen 

19  ephod.  And  Nob,  the  city  of  the  priests,  smote  he 
with  the  edge  of  the  sword,  both  men  and  women, 
children    and    sucklings,  and    oxen    and   asses  and 

20  sheep,  wfth  the  edge  of  the  sword.  And  one  of  the 
sonsof  A-him'e-lech  the  son  of  A-hi'tub,  named  A-bi'a- 

21  thar,  escaped,  and  fled  after  Da'vid.  And  A-bi'a-thar 
told  Da'vid  that  Saul  had  slain  the  Lord's  priests. 

22  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A-bi'a-thar,  I  knew  on  that  day, 
when  Do'eg  the  E'dom-'ite  was  there,  that  he  would 
surely  tell  Saul :  I  have  occasioned  the  death  of  all 

23  the  persons  of  thy  father's  house.  Abide  thou  with 
me,  fear  not;  for  he  that  seeketh  my  life  seeketh  thy 
life :  for  with  me  thou  shalt  be  in  safeguard.

CHAPTER  XXIII. 

Ziavid,  inquiring  of  the  Lord  by  Abiaikar,  rescueth  Keilah. 

THEN  they  told  Da'vid,  saying,  Behold,  the  Phi-lis'tines 
fight  against  "Kei'lah,  and  they  rob  the  threshingfloors. 

2  Therefore  Da'vid  ''inquired  of  the  Lord,  saying,  Shall  I 
go  and  smite  these  Phi-lis'tines  ?  And  the  LoKD  said  unto 
Da'vid,  Go,  and  smite  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  save  Kei'lah. 

3  And  Da'vid's  men  said  unto  him,  Behold,  we  be  afraid 
here  in  Ju'dah :  how  much  more  then  if  we  come  to  Kei'lah 
against  the  armies  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  ? 

4  Then  Da'vid  inquired  of  the  Lord  yet  again.  And  the 
Lord  answered  him  and  said.  Arise,  go  down  to  Kei'lah ; 
for  I  will  deliver  the  Phi-lis'tines  into  thine  hand. 

5  So  Da'vid  and  his  men  went  to  Kei'lah,  and  fought  with 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  brought  away  their  cattle,  and  smote 
them  with  a  great  slaughter.  So  Da'vid  saved  the  inhab- 
itants of  Kei'lah. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,when  A-bi'a-thar  the  son  of  A-him'e- 
lech  ''fled  to  Da'vid  to  Kei'lah,  that  he  came  down  vMh  an 
ephod  in  his  hand. 

7  ^And  it  was  told  Saul  that  Da'vid  was  come  to  Kei'lah. 
And  Saul  said,  God  hath  delivered  him  into  mine  hand ; 
for  he  is  shut  in,  by  entering  into  a  town  that  hath  gates 
and  bars. 

8  And  Saul  called  all  the  people  together  to  war,  to  go 
down  to  Kei'lah,  to  besiege  Da'vid  and  his  men. 

9  ^And  Da'vid  knew  that  Saul  secretly  practised  mischief 
against  him;  and  ''he  said  to  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest.  Bring 
hither  the  ephod. 

10  Then  said  Da'vid,  O  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  thy  servant 
hath  certainly  heard  that  Saul  seeketh  to  come  to  Kei'lah, 
'to  destroy  the  city  for  my  sake. 

11  Will  the  men  of  Kei'lah  deliver  me  up  into  his  hand? 
will  Saul  come  down,  as  thy  servant  hath  heard  ?  O  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  beseech  thee,  tell  thy  servant.  And  the 
Lord  said,  He  will  come  down. 

12  Then  said  Da'vid,  Will  the  men  of  Kei'lah  fdeliver  me 
and  my  men  into  the  hand  of  Saul  ?  And  the  Lord  said, 
They  will  deliver  thee  up. 

13  ^Then  Da'vid  and  his  men,  ^whioh  were  about  six 
hundred,  arose  and  departed  out  of  Kei'lah,  and  went 
whithersoever  they  could  go.  And  it  was  told  Saul  that 
Da'vid  was  escaped  from  Kei'lah ;  and  he  forbare  to  go 
forth. 

14  And  Da'vid  abode  in  the  wilderness  in  strong  holds,  and 
remained  in  "a  mountain  in  the  wilderness  of  *Ziph.  And 
Saul  'sought  him  every  day,  but  God  delivered  him  not 
into  his  hand. 

15  And  Da'vid  saw  that  Saul  was  come  out  to  seek  his 
life :  and  Da'vid  was  in  the  wilderness  of  Ziph  in  a  wood. 

16  *l[And  Jon'a-than  Saul's  son  arose,  and  went  to  Da'vid 
into  the  wood,  and  strengthened  his  hand  in  God. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  Fear  not:  for  the  hand  of  Saul 
my  father  shall  not  find  thee ;  and  thou  shalt  be  king  over 
Is'ra-el,  and  I  shall  be  next  unto  thee ;  and  'that  also  Saul 
my  father  knoweth. 

18  And  they  two  'made  a  covenant  before  the  Lord: 
and  Da'vid  abode  in  the  wood,  and  Jon'a-than  went  to  his 
house. 

19  1[Then  ""came  up  the  Ziph'ites  to  Saul  to  Gib'e-ah,  say- 
ing. Doth  not  Da'vid  hide  himself  with  us  in  strong  holds 
in  the  wood,  in  the  hill  of  Hach'i-lah,  which  is  fon  the 
south  of  II  Jesh'i-mon  ? 

20  Now  therefore,  O  king,  come  down  according  to  all 
the  desire  of  thy  soul  to  come  down ;  and  "our  part  shaU 
he  to  deliver  him  into  the  king's  hand. 

21  And  Saul  said.  Blessed  be  ye  of  the  Lord  ;  for  ye  have 
compassion  on  me. 

22  Go,  I  pray  you,  prepare  yet,  and  know  and  see  his 


^"O  And  they  told  Da'vid,  saying.  Behold,  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines are  fighting  against  Kei'lah,  and  they  rob  the 

2  threshing-floors.  Therefore  Da'vid  inquired  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  Shall  I  go  and  smite  these  Phi-lis'tines  ? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Da'vid,  Go,  and  smite  the 

3  Phi-lis'tines, and  save  Kei'lah.  And  Da'vid's  men  said 
unto  him.  Behold,  we  be  afraid  here  in  Ju'dah :  how 
much  more  then  if  we  go  to  Kei'lah  against  the 

4  armies  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  ?  Then  Da'vid  inquired  of 
the  Lord  yet  again.  And  the  Lord  answered  him 
and  said.  Arise,  go  down  to  Kei'lah ;  for  I  will  de- 

5  liver  the  Phi-lis'tines  into  thine  hand.  And  Da'vid 
and  his  men  went  to  Kei'lah,  and  fought  with  the 
Phi-lis'tines,  and  brought  away  their  cattle,  and  slew 
them  with  a  great  slaughter.  So  Da'vid  saved  the 
inhabitants  of  Kei'lah. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  A-bi'a-thar  the  son  of 
A-him'e-lech  fled  to  Da'vid  to  Kei'lah,  that  he  came 

7  down  with  an  ephod  in  his  hand.  And  it  was  told 
Saul  that  Da'vid  was  come  to  Kei'lah.  And  Saul  said, 
God  hath  idelivered  him  into  mine  hand ;  for  he  is 
shut  in,  by  entering  into  a  town  that  hath  gates  and 

8  bars.  And  Saul  summoned  all  the  people  to  war, 
to  go  down  to  Kei'lah,  to  besiege  Da'vid  and  his  men. 

9  And  Da'vid  knew  that  Saul  devised  mischief  against 
him  ;  and  he  said  to  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,  Bring  hither 

10  the  ephod.  Then  said  Da'vid,  O  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  thy  servant  hath  surely  heard  that  Saul  seek- 
eth to  come  to  Kei'lah,  to  destroy  the  city  for  my 

11  sake.  Will  the  men  of  Kei'lah  deliver  me  up  into 
his  hand?  will  Saul  come  down,  as  thy  servant  hath 
heard  ?  O  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  beseech  thee, 
tell  thy  servant.     And  the  Lord  said.  He  will  come 

12  down.  Then  said  Da'vid,  Will  the  men  of  Kei'lah 
deliver  up  me  and  my  men  into  the  hand  of  Saul? 
And  the   Lord   said,  They   will  deliver  thee  up, 

13  Then  Da'vid  and  his  men,  which  were  about  six 
hundred,  arose  and  departed  out  of  Kei'lah,  and 
went  whithersoever  they  could  go.  And  it  was  told 
Saul  that  Da'vid  was  escaped  from  Kei'lah ;  and  he 
forbare  to  go  forth. 

14  And  Da'vid  abode  in  the  wilderness  in  the  strong 
holds,  and  remained  in  the  hill  country  in  the  wilder 
ness  of  Ziph.     And  Saul  sought  him  every  day,  but 

15  God  delivered  him  not  into  his  hand.  And  Da'vid 
saw  that  Saul  was  come  out  to  seek  his  life :  and 
Da'vid  was  in  the  wilderness  of  Ziph  in  ^the  wood. 

16  And  Jon'a-than  Saul's  son  arose,  and  went  to  Da'vid 
into  ^the  wood,  and  strengthened  his  hand  in  God. 

17 And  he  said  unto  him.  Fear  not:  for  the  hand  of 
Saul  my  father  shall  not  find  thee;  and  thou  shalt 
be  king  over  Is'ra-el,  and  I  shall  be  next  unto  thee; 

18  and  that  also  Saul  my  father  knoweth.  And  they 
two  made  a  covenant  before  the  Lord:  and  Da'vid 
abode  in  ^the  wood,  and  Jon'a-than  went  to  his  house. 

19  Then  came  up  the  Ziph'ites  to  Saul  to  Gib'e-ah, 
saying.  Doth  not  Da'vid  hide  himself  with  us  in 
the  strong  holds  in  ^the  wood,  in  the  hill  of  Hach'- 

20  i-lah,  which  is  on  the  south  of  ^the  desert  ?  Now 
therefore,  C  king,  come  down,  according  to  all 
the  desire  of  thy  soul  to  come  down;  and  our 
part  shall  be   to  deliver  him   up   into   the   king's 

21  hand.     And  Saul  said.  Blessed  be  ye  of  the  Lord; 

22  for  ye  have  had  compassion  on  me.  Go,  I  pray 
you,  make  yet  more  sure,  and  know  and   see  his

place  where  his  fhaunt  is,  and  who  hath  seen  him  there : 
for  it  is  told  me  that  he  dealeth  very  subtilely. 

23  See  therefore,  and  take  knowledge  of  all  the  lurking 
places  where  he  hideth  himself,  and  come  ye  again  to  me 
with  the  certainty,  and  I  will  go  with  you :  and  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  if  he  be  in  the  land,  that  I  will  search  him  out 
throughout  all  the  thousands  of  Ju'dah. 

24  And  they  arose,  and  went  to  Ziph  before  Saul:  but 
Da'vid  and  his  men  were  in  the  wilderness  °of  Ma'on,  in  the 
plain  on  the  south  of  Jesh'i-mon. 

25  Saul  also  and  his  men  went  to  seek  him.  And  they  told 
Da'vid:  wherefore  he  came  down  ||  into  a  rock,  and  abode  in 
the  wilderness  of  Ma'on.  And  when  Saul  heard  that,  he 
pursued  after  Da'vid  in  the  wilderness  of  Ma'on. 

26  And  Saul  went  on  this  side  of  the  mountain,  and 
Da'vid  and  his  men  on  that  side  of  the  mountain :  "and 
Da'vid  made  haste  to  get  away  for  fear  of  Saul ;  for  Saul 
and  his  men  'compassed  Da'vid  and  his  men  round  about 
to  take  them. 

27  ^''But  there  came  a  messenger  unto  Saul,  saying. 
Haste  thee,  and  come;  for  the  Phi-lis' tines  have  finvaded 
the  land. 

28  Wherefore  Saul  returned  from  pursuing  after  Da'vid, 
and  went  against  the  Phi-lis'tines :  therefore  they  called  that 
place  II  Se'la-ham'mah-le'koth. 

29  ^And  Da'vid  went  up  from  thence,  and  dwelt  in  strong 
holds  at  "En-ge'di. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

David  in  a  cave  at  En-gedi,  having  cut  off  SauVs  skirt,  spareik  his  life. 

AND    it    came   to    pass,  "when  Saul  was  returned  from 
ffollowing  the  Phi-lis'tines,  that  it  was  told  him,  saying, 
Behold,  Da'vid  is  in  the  wilderness  of  En-ge'di. 

2  Then  Saul  took  three  thousand  chosen  men  out  of  all 
Is'ra-el,  and  ''went  to  seek  Da'vid  and  his  men  upon  the  rocks 
of  the  wild  goats. 

3  And  he  came  to  the  sheepcotes  by  the  way,  where  was 
a  cave;  and  "Saul  went  in  to  ''cover  his  feet:  and  'Da'vid 
and  his  men  remained  in  the  sides  of  the  cave. 

4  ^And  the  men  of  Da'vid  said  unto  him.  Behold  the  day 
of  which  the  Lord  said  unto  thee.  Behold,  I  will  deliver 
thine  enemy  into  thine  hand,  that  thou  mayest  do  to  him  as 
it  shall  seem  good  unto  thee.  Then  Da'vid  arose,  and  cut 
off  the  skirt  of  fSaul's  robe  privily. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  afterward,  that  'Da'vid's  heart  smote 
him,  because  he  had  cut  off  Saul's  skirt. 

6  And  he  said  unto  his  men,  *The  Lord  forbid  that  I  should 
do  this  thing  unto  my  master,  the  Lord's  anointed,  to 
stretch  forth  mine  hand  against  him,  seeing  he  is  the  anointed 
of  the  Lord. 

7  So  Da'vid  f'stayed  his  servants  with  these  words,  and 
suffered  them  not  to  rise  against  Saul.  But  Saul  rose  up 
out  of  the  cave,  and  went  on  his  way. 

8  Da'vid  also  arose  afterward,  and  went  out  of  the  cave, 
and  cried  after  Saul,  saying.  My  lord  the  king.  And  when 
Saul  looked  behind  him,  Dalvid  stooped  with  his  face  to  the 
earth,  and  bowed  himself. 

9  ^ And  Da'vid  said  to  Saul,  ^Wherefore  hearest  thou  men's 
words,  saying.  Behold,  Da'vid  seeketh  thy  hurt? 

10  Behold,  this  day  thine  eyes  have  seen  how  that  the 
Lord  had  delivered  thee  to-day  into  mine  hand  in  the  cave : 
and  some  bade  me  kill  thee :  but  mine  eye  spared  thee ;  and 
I  said,  I  will  not  put  forth  mine  hand  against  my  lord ;  for 
he  is  the  Lord's  anointed. 

11  Moreover,  my  father,  see,  yea,  see  the  skirt  of  thy 
robe  in  my  hand:  for  in  that  I  cut  off  the  skirt  of  thy 
robe,  and  killed  thee  not,  know  thou  and  see  that  there 
is  'neither  evil  nor  transgression  in  mine  hand,  and  I  have 
not  sinned  against  thee;  yet  thou  "huntest  my  soul  to 
take  it.

24  ^thousands  of  Ju'dah.  And  they  arose,  and  went 
to  Ziph  before  Saul:  but  Da'vid  and  his  men  were 
in  the  wilderness  of  Ma'on,  in  the  *Ar'a-bah  on  the 

25  south  of 'the  desert.  And  Saul  and  his  men  went 
to  seek  him.  And  they  told  Da'vid :  wherefore  he 
came  down  to  the  rock,  and  abode  in  the  wil- 
derness of  Ma'on.  And  when  Saul  heard  that,  he 
pursued  after  Da'vid  in  the   wilderness   of  Ma'on. 

26  And  Saul  went  on  this  side  of  the  mountain,  and 
Da'vid  and  his  men  on  that  side  of  the  mountain : 
and  Da'vid  made  haste  to  get  away  for  fear  of 
Saul ;  for  Saul  and  his  men  compassed  Da'vid  and 

27  his  men  round  about  to  take  them.  But  there 
came  a  messenger  unto  Saul,  saying.  Haste  thee, 
and  come;    for   the  Phi-lis'tines  have  made  a  raid 

28  upon  the  land.  So  Saul  returned  from  pursuing 
after  David,  and  went  against  the  Phi-lis'tines :  there- 
fore they  called  that  place  'Se'la-ham'mah-le'koth. 

29  And  Da'vid  went  up  from  thence,  and  dwelt  in 
the  strong  holds  of  En-ge'di. 

^^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Saul  was  returned  from 
following  the  Phi-lis'tines,  that  it  was  told  him,  saying, 
Behold,  Da'vid  is  in  the   wilderness   of  En-ge'di. 

2  Then  Saul  took  three  thousand  chosen  men  out  of 
all  Is'ra-el,  and  went  to  seek  Da'vid  and  his  men  upon 

3  the  rocks  of  the  wild  goats.  And  he  came  to  the 
sheepcotes  by  the  way,  where  was  a  cave ;  and  Saul 
went  in  to  cover  his  feet.  Now  Da'vid  and  his  men 
were  ^abiding  in  the  innermost  parts  of  the  cave. 

4  And  the  men  of  Da'vid  said  unto  him.  Behold,  the 
day  of  which  the  Lord  said  unto  thee.  Behold,  I 
will  deliver  thine  enemy  into  thine  hand,  and  thou 
shalt  do  to  him  as  it  shall  seem  good  unto  thee. 
Then  Da'vid  arose,  and  cut  off  the  skirt  of  Saul's 

5  robe  privily.  And  it  came  to  pass  afterward,  that 
Da'vid's  heart  smote  him,  because  he  had  cut   off 

6  Saul's  skirt.  And  he  said  unto  his  men,  The  Lord

Lord's  anointed,  to  put  forth  mine  hand  against  him, 

7  seeing  he  is  the  Lord's  anointed.  So  Da'vid  checked 
his  men  with  these  words,  and  suffered  them  not  to 
rise  against  Saul.     And  Saul  rose  up  out  of  the  cave, 

8  and  went  on  his  way.  Da'vid  also  arose  afterward, 
and  went  out  of  the  cave,  and  cried  after  Saul,  say- 
ing, My  lord  the  king.  And  when  Saul  looked  be- 
hind him,  Da'vid  bowed  with  his  face  to  the  earth,  and 

9  did  obeisance.  And  Da'vid  said  to  Saul,  Wherefore 
hearkenest  thou  to  men's  words,  saying.  Behold,  Da'- 

lOvid  seeketh  thy  hurt?  Behold,  this  day  thine  eyes

12  "The  Lord  judge  oetween  me  and  thee,  and  the  Lord 
avenge  me  of  thee  :  but  mine  hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

1 3  As  .saith  the  proverb  of  the  ancients,  Wickedness  proceed- 
eth  from  the  wicked :  but  mine  hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee. 

14  After  whom  is  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  come  out?  after 
whom  dost  thou  pursue  ?  "after  a  dead  dog,  after  "a  flea. 

15  'The  Lord  therefore  be  judge,  and  judge  between  me 
and  thee,  and  'see,  and  'plead  my  cause,  and  fdeliver  me 
out  of  thine  hand. 

16  ^And  it  came  to  pass  when  Da'vid  had  made  an  end 
of  speaking  these  words  unto  Saul,  that  Saul  said,  'Is  this 
thy  voice,  my  son  Da'vid?  And  Saul  lifted  up  his  voice, 
and  wept. 

17  "And  he  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  art  'more  righteous  than 
I :  for  "thou  hast  rewarded  me  good,  whereas  I  have  re- 
warded thee  evil. 

18  And  thou  hast  shewed  this  day  how  that  thou  hast 
dealt  well  with  me ;  forasmuch  as  when  'the  Lord  had 
fdelivered  me  into  thine  hand,  thou  killedst  me  not. 

19  For  if  a  man  find  his  enemy,  will  he  let  him  go  well 
away  ?  wherefore  the  Lord  reward  thee  good  for  that  thou 
hast  done  unto  me  this  day. 

20  And  now,  behold,  °I  know  well  that  thou  shalt  surely 
be  king,  and  that  the  kingdom  of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  es- 
tablished in  thine  hand. 

21  ''Swear  now  therefore  unto  me  by  the  Lord,  "that  thou 
wilt  not  cut  off  my  seed  after  me,  and  that  thou  wilt  not 
destroy  my  name  out  of  my  father's  house. 

22  And  Da'vid  sware  unto  Saul.  And  Saul  went  home; 
but  Da'vid  and  his  men  gat  them  up  unto  ''the  hold. 

CHAPTER  XXV. 

Samue/  dieth — David  in  Paran  sendeth  to  Nabal. 

AND  "Sam'u-el  died :  and  all  the  Is'ra-el-ites  were  gath- 
ered together,  and  ''lamented  him,  and  buried  him  in 
his  house  at  Ra'mah.  And  Da'vid  arose,  and  went  down 
"to  the  wilderness  of  Pa' ran. 

2  And  there  was  a  man  ''in  Ma'on,  whose  ]I  possessions  were 
in  'Car'mel ;  and  the  man  7vas  very  great,  and  he  had  three 
thousand  sheep,  and  a  thousand  goats:  and  he  was  shear- 
ing his  sheep  in  Car'mel. 

3  Now  the  name  of  the  man  was  Na'bal ;  and  the  name  of 
his  wife  Ab'i-gail :  and  she  was  a  woman  of  good  understand- 
ing, and  of  a  beautful  countenance :  but  the  man  was  churlish 
and  evil  in  his  doings ;  and  he  was  of  the  house  of  Ca'leb. 

4  ^And  Da'vid  heard  in  the  wilderness  that  Na'bal  did 
-'shear  his  sheep. 

5  And  Da'vid  sent  out  ten  young  men,  and  Da'vid  said 
unto  the  young  men,  Get  you  up  to  Car'mel,  and  go  to 
Na'bal,  and  fgreet  him  in  my  name ; 

6  And  thus  shall  ye  say  to  him  that  liveth  in  prosperity, 
"Peace  be  both  to  thee,  and  peace  be  to  thine  house,  and 
peace  be  unto  all  that  thou  hast. 

7  And  now  I  have  heard  that  thou  hast  shearers :  now 
thy  shepherds  which  were  with  us,  we  fhurt  them  not, 
'^neither  was  there  aught  missing  unto  them,  all  the  while 
they  were  in  Car'mel. 

G  Ask  thy  young  men,  and  they  will  shew  thee.  Where- 
fore h,^  the  young  men  find  favour  in  thine  eyes ;  for  we 
come  in  'a  good  day  :  give,  I  pray  thee,  whatsoever  cometh 
to  thine  hand  unto  thy  servants,  and  to  thy  son  Da'vid. 

9  And  when  David's  young  men  came,  they  spake  to 
Na'bal  according  to  all  those  words  in  the  name  of  Da'vid, 
and  fceased. 

10  ^And  Na'bal  answered  Da'vid's  servants,and  said,*Who 
is  Da'vid  ?  and  who  is  the  son  of  Jes'se  ?  there  be  many  serv- 
ants nowadays  that  break  away  every  man  from  his  master. 

11  'Shall  I  then  take  my  bread,  and  my  water,  and  my 
fflesh  that  I  have  killed  for  my  shearers,  and  give  it  unto 
men,  whom  I  know  not  whence  they  be? 


12  The  Lord  judge  between  me  and  thee,  and  the 
Lord  avenge  me  of  thee ;  but  mine  hand  shall  not 

13  be  upon  thee.  As  saith  the  proverb  of  the  an- 
cients. Out  of  the  wicked  cometh  forth  wickedness: 

14  but  mine  hand  shall  not  be  upon  thee.  After 
whom  is  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  come  out?  after  whom 
dost   thou   pursue  ?    after  a  dead   dog,  after  a  flea. 

15  The  Lord  therefore  be  judge,  and  give  sentence  be- 
tween  me  and  thee,  and  see,  and  plead   my  cause, 

16  and  'deliver  me  out  of  thine  hand.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Da'vid  had  made  an  end  of  speaking  these 
words  unto  Saul,  that  Saul  said.  Is  this  thy  voice, 
my  son  Da'vid  ?     And  Saul  lifted  up  his  voice,  and 

17  wept.  And  he  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  art  more  right- 
eous than  I :  for  thou  hast  rendered  unto  me  good, 

18  whereas  I  have  rendered  unto  thee  evil.  And  thou 
hast  declared  this  day  how  that  thou  hast  dealt  well 
with  me :  forasmuch  as  when  the  Lord  had  de- 
livered me  up  into  thine  hand,  thou  killedst  me  not. 

19  For  if  a  man  find  his  enemy,  will  he  let  him  go  well 
away?   wherefore  the  Lord  reward  thee  good  for 

20  that  thou  hast  done  unto  me  this  day.  And  now, 
behold,  I  know  that  thou  shalt  surely  be  king,  and 
that  the  kingdom  of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  established  in 

21  thine  hand.  Swear  now  therefore  unto  me  by  the 
Lord,  that  thou  wilt  not  cut  off  my  seed  after  me, 
and  that  thou  wilt  not  destroy  my  name  out  of  my 

22  father's  house.  And  Da'vid  sware  unto  Saul.  And 
Saul  went  home;  but  Da'vid  and  his  men  gat  them 
up  unto  the  hold. 

"40  And  Sam'u-el  died ;  and  all  Is'ra-el  gathered 
themselves  together,  and  lamented  him,  and  buried 
him  in  his  house  at  Ra'mah.  And  Da'vid  arose,  and 
went  down  to  the  wilderness  of  Pa'ran. 

2  And  there  was  a  man  in  Ma'on,  whose  ^possessions 
were  in  Car'mel;  and  the  man  was  very  great,  and 
he  had  three  thousand  sheep,  and  a  thousand  goats : 

3  and  he  was  shearing  his  sheep  in  Car'mel.  Now  the 
name  of  the  man  was  Na'bal ;  and  the  name  of  his 
wife  Ab'i-gail :  and  the  woman  was  of  good  under- 
standing, and  of  a  beautiful  countenance:  but  the 
man  was  churlish  and  evil  in  his  doings ;  and  he  was 

4  of  the  house  of  Ca'leb.     And  Da'vid  heard  in  the 
6  wilderness  that  Na'bal  did  shear  his  sheep.     And 

Da'vid  sent  ten  young  men,  and  Da'vid  said  unto  the 
young  men.  Get  you  up  to  Car'mel,  and  go  to  Na'bal, 

6  and  greet  him  in  my  name :  and  ^thus  shall  ye  say 
Ho  him  that  liveth  in  prosperity,  Peace  be  both  unto 
thee,  and  peace  be  to  thine  house,  and  peace  be  unto 

7  all  that  thou  hast.  And  now  I  have  heard  that  thou 
hast  shearers :  thy  shepherds  have  now  been  with  us, 
and  we  'did  them  no  hurt,  neither  was  there  aught 
missing  unto  them,  all  the  while  they  were  in  Car'mel. 

8  Ask  thy  young  men,  and  they  will  tell  thee  :  where- 
fore let  the  young  men  find  favour  in  thine  eyes ;  for 
we  come  in  a  good  day :  give,  I  pray  thee,  whatso- 
ever cometh  to  thine  hand,  unto  thy  servants,  and  to 

9  thy  son  Da'vid.  And  when  Da'vid's  young  men  came, 
they  spake  to  Na'bal  according  to  all  those  words 

10  in  the  name  of  Da'vid,  and  '^ceased.  And  Na'bal 
answered  Da'vid's  servants,  and  said,  Who  is  Da'vid  ? 
and  who  is  the  son  of  Jes'se  ?  there  be  many  servants 
now  a  days  that  break  away  every  man  from  his  mas- 

11  ter.  Shall  I  then  take  my  bread,  and  my  water,  and 
my  'flesh  that  I  have  killed  for  my  shearers,  and  give 
it  unto  men  of  whom  I  know  not  whence  they  be  ?

12  So  Da'vid's  young  men  turned  their  way,  and  went 
again,  and  came  and  told  him  all  those  sayings. 

13  And  Da'vid  said  unto  his  men,  Gird  ye  on  every  man 
his  sword.  And  they  girded  on  every  man  his  sword ;  and 
Da'vid  also  girded  on  his  sword :  and  there  went  up  after 
Da'vid  about  four  hundred  men ;  and  two  hundred  "abode 
by  the  stuff. 

14  ^But  one  o£  the  young  men  told  Ab'i-gail,  Na'bal's 
wife,  saying.  Behold,  Da'vid  sent  messengers  out  of  the 
wilderness  to  salute  our  master;  and  he  trailed  on 
them. 

15  But  the  men  were  very  good  unto  us,  and  "we  were  not 
fhurt,  neither  missed  we  any  thing,  as  long  as  we  were 
conversant  with  them,  when  we  were  in  the  fields. 

16  They  were  "a  wall  unto  us  both  by  night  and  day,  all 
the  while  we  were  with  them  keeping  the  sheep. 

17  Now  therefore  know  and  consider  what  thou  wilt  do ; 
for  "evil  is  determined  against  our  master,  and  against  all 
his  household :  for  he  is  such  a  son  of  'Be'li-al,  that  a  man 
can  not  speak  to  him. 

18  ^Then  Ab'i-gail  made  haste,  and  'took  two  hundred 
loaves,  and  two  bottles  of  wine,  and  five  sheep  ready  dressed, 
and  five  measures  of  parched  com,  and  a  hundred  ||  clusters 
of  raisins,  and  two  hundred  cakes  of  figs,  and  laid  them  on 
asses. 

19  And  she  said  unto  her  servants,  'Go  on  before  me; 
behold,  I  come  after  you.  But  she  told  not  her  husband 
Na'bal. 

20  And  it  was  so,  as  she  rode  on  the  ass,  that  she  came 
down  by  the  covert  of  the  hill,  and,  behold,  Da'vid  and  his 
men  came  down  against  her ;  and  she  met  them. 

21  Now  Da'vid  had  said.  Surely  in  vain  have  I  kept  all 
that  this  fellow  hath  in  the  wilderness,  so  that  nothing  was 
missed  of  all  that  pertained  unto  him:  and  he  hath  "re- 
quited me  evil  for  good. 

22  ''So  and  more  also  do  God  unto  the  enemies  of  Da'vid, 
if  I  "leave  of  all  that  pertain  to  him  by  the  morning  light 
'any  that  pisseth  against  the  wall. 

23  And  when  Ab'i-gail  saw  Da'vid,  she  hasted,  "and  lighted 
off  the  ass,  and  fell  before  Da'vid  on  her  face,  and  bowed 
herself  to  the  ground. 

24  And  fell  at  his  feet,  and  said.  Upon  me,  my  lord,  upon 
me  let  this  iniquity  be:  and  let  thine  handmaid,  I  pray 
thee,  speak  in  thine  faudience,  and  hear  the  words  of  thine 
handmaid. 

25  Let  not  my  lord,  I  pray  thee,  fegard  this  man 
of  Be'li-al,  even  Na'bal :  for  as  his  name  is,  so  is  he;  ||  Na'- 
bal is  his  name,  and  folly  is  with  him :  but  I  thine  hand- 
maid saw  not  the  young  men  of  my  lord,  whom  thou  didst 
send. 

26  Now  therefore,  my  lord,  ''as  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as 
thy  soul  liveth,  seeing  the  Loed  hath  "withholden  thee 
from  coming  to  shed  blood,  and  from  favenging  thyself 
with  thine  own  hand,  now  'let  thine  enemies,  and  they  that 
seek  evil  to  my  lord,  be  as  Na'bal. 

27  And  now  •'^this  ||  blessing  which  thine  handmaid  hath 
brought  unto  my  lord,  let  it  even  be  given  unto  the  young 
men  that  ffollow  my  lord. 

28  I  pray  thee,  forgive  the  trespass  of  thine  handmaid : 
xor  "the  Lord  will  certainly  make  my  lord  a  sure  house; 
because  my  lord  *fighteth  the  battles  of  the  Lord,  and  'evil 
hath  not  been  found  in  thee  all  thy  days. 

29  Yet  a  man  is  risen  to  pursue  thee,  and  to  seek  thy 
soul :  but  the  soul  of  my  lord  shall  be  bound  in  the  bundle 
of  life  with  the  Lord  thy  God ;  and  the  souls  of  thine 
enemies,  them  shall  he  *sling  out,  fas  out  of  the  middle  of 
a  sling. 

30  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  the  Lord  shall  have 
done  to  my  lord   according  to  all  the  good  that  he  hath 


12  So  Da'vid's  young  men  turned  on  their  way,  and 
went  back,  and  came  and   told   him  according  to 

13  all  these  words.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  his  men, 
Gird  ye  on  every  man  his  sword.  And  they  girded 
on  every  man  his  sword;  and  Da'vid  also  girded 
on  his  sword :  and  there  went  up  after  Da'vid  about 
four  hundred  men ;    and    two    hundred    abode  by 

14  the  stuff.  But  one  of  the  young  men  told  Ab'i- 
gail,  Na'bal's  wife,  saying,  Behold,  Da'vid  sent  mes- 
sengers out  of  the  wilderness  to  'salute  our  master; 

15  and  he  ^flew  upon  them.  But  the  men  Were  very 
good  unto  us,  and  we  were  not  'hurt,  neither  missed 
we  any  thing,  as  long  as  we  were  conversant  with 

16 them,  when  we  were  in  the  fields:  they  were  a  wall 
unto  us  both  by  night  and  by  day,  all  the  while  we 

17  were  with  them  keeping  the  sheep.  Now  therefore 
know  and  consider  what  thou  wilt  do;  for  evil  is 
determined  against  our  master,  and  against  all  his 
house :  for  he  is  such  a  *son  of  'Be'li-al,  that  one  can 

18  not  speak  to  him.  Then  Ab'i-gail  made  haste,  and 
took  two  hundred  loaves,  and  two  ^bottles  of  wine, 
and  five  sheep  ready  dressed,  and  five  measures  of 
parched  corn,  and  an  hundred  clusters  of  raisins,  and 
two  hundred  cakes  of  figs,  and  laid  them  on  asses 

19  And  she  said  unto  her  young  men, Go  on  before  me; 
behold,  I  come  after  you.     But  she  told  not  her  hus- 

20  band  Na'bal.  And  it  was  so,  as  she  rode  on  her  ass, 
and  came  down  by  the  covert  of  the  mountain,  that, 
behold,  Da'vid  and  his  men  came  down  against  her ; 

21  and  she  met  them.  Now  Da'vid  had  said,  Surely  in 
vain  have  I  kept  all  that  this  fellow  hath  in  the  wilder- 
ness, so  that  nothing  was  missed  of  all  that  pertained 
unto  him:  and  he  hath  returned  me  evil  for  good. 

22  God  do  so  'unto  the  enemies  of  Da'vid,  and  more 
also,  if  I  leave  of  all  that  pertain  to  him  by  the  morn- 

23ing  light  *so  much  as  one  man  child.  And  when 
Ab'i-gail  saw  Da'vid,  she  hasted,  and  lighted  off  her 
ass,  and  fell  before  Da'vid  on  her  face,  and  bowed 

24  herself  to  the  ground.  And  she  fell  at  his  feet,  and 
said.  Upon  me,  my  lord,  upon  me  be  the  iniquity  : 
and  let  thine  handmaid,  I  pray  thee,  speak  in  thine 
ears,  and  hear  thou  the  words  of  thine  handmaid. 

25  Let  not  my  lord,  I  pray  thee,  regard  this  *man  of 
'Be'li-al,  even  Na'bal:  for  as  his  name  is,  so  is  he; 
'Na'bal  is  his  name,  and  folly  is  with  him;  but  I  thine 
handmaid  saw  not  the  young  men  of  my  lord,  whom 

26  thou  didst  send.  Now  therefore,  my  lord,  as  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  seeing  the  Lord 
hathwithholden  thee  '"from  bloodguiltiness,  and  from 
"avenging  thyself  with  thine  own  hand,  now  there- 
fore let  thine  enemies,  and  them  that  seek  evil  to  my 

27  lord,  be  as  Na'bal.  And  now  this  '^present  which 
thy  servant  hath  brought  unto  my  lord,  let  it  be 
given    unto   the   young   men  that  follow    my  lord. 

28  Forgive,  I  pray  thee,  the  trespass  of  thine  handmaid  : 
for  the  Lord  will  certainly  make  my  lord  a  sure 
house,  because  my  lord  fighteth  the  battles  of  the 
Lord;  and  evil  shall  not  be  found  in  thee  all  thy 

29  days.  And  though  man  be  risen  up  to  pursue  thee, 
and  to  seek  thy  soul,  yet  the  soul  of  my  lord  shall 
be  bound  in  the  bundle  of  'Hife  with  the  Lord  thy 
God ;  and  the  souls  of  thine  enemies,  them  shall  he 

30  sling  out,  as  from  the  hollow  of  a  sling.  And  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  when  the  Lord  shall  have  done 
to  my  lord  according  to  all  the  good  that  he  hath

spoken  concerning  thee,  and  shall  have  appointed  thee  ruler 
over  Is'ra-el; 

31  That  this  shall  be  fno  grief  unto  thee,  nor  offence  of 
heart  unto  my  lord,  either  that  thou  hast  shed  blood  cauise- 
less,  or  that  ray  lord  hath  avenged  himself:  but  when  the 
Lord  shall  have  dealt  well  with  my  lord,  then  remember 
thine  handmaid. 

32  ^And  Da'vid  said  to  Ab'i-gail,  'Blessed  be  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  sent  thee  this  day  to  meet  me : 

33  And  blessed  be  thy  advice,  and  blessed  be  thou,  which 
hast  '"kept  me  this  day  from  coming  to  shed  blood,  and 
from  avenging  myself  with  mine  own  hand. 

34  For  in  very  deed,  aa  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  liveth, 
which  hath  "kept  me  back  from  hurting  thee,  except  thou 
hadst  hasted  and  come  to  meet  me,  surely  there  had  "not 
been  left  unto  Xa'bal  by  the  morning  light  any  that  pisseth 
against  the  wall. 

35  So  Da'vid  received  of  her  hand  that  which  she  had 
brought  him,  and  said  unto  her,  ''Go  up  in  peace  to  thine 
house ;  see,  I  have  hearkened  to  thy  voice,  and  have  'ac- 
cepted thy  person. 

36  ^And  Ab'i-gail  came  to  Na'bal ;  and,  behold,  ""he  held 
a  feast  in  his  house,  like  the  feast  of  a  king ;  and  Na'bal's 
heart  teas  merry  within  him,  for  he  was  very  drunken : 
wherefore  she  told  him  nothing,  less  or  more,  until  the 
morning  light. 

37  But  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning,  when  the  wine 
was  gone  out  of  Na'bal,  and  his  wife  had  told  him  these 
things,  that  his  heart  died  within  him,  and  he  became  as 
a  stone. 

38  And  it  came  to  pass  about  ten  days  after,  that  the 
Lord  smote  Na'bal,  that  he  died. 

39  ^And  when  Da'vid  heard  that  Na'bal  was  dead,  he 
said,  'Blessed  be  the  Lord,  that  hath  'pleaded  the  cause  of 
my  reproach  from  the  hand  of  Na'bal,  and  hath  "kept  his 
servant  from  evil :  for  the  Lord  hath  ''returned  the  wicked- 
ness of  Na'bal  upon  his  own  head.  And  Da'vid  sent  and 
communed  with  Ab'i-gail,  to  take  her  to  him  to  wife. 

40  And  when  the  servants  of  Da'vid  were  come  to  Ab'i-gail 
to  Car'mel,  they  spake  unto  her,  saying,  Da'vid  sent  us  unto 
thee,  to  take  thee  to  him  to  wife. 

41  And  she  arose,  and  bowed  herself  on  her  face  to  the 
earth,  and  said.  Behold,  let  "thine  handmaid  be  a  servant  to 
wash  the  feet  of  the  servants  of  my  lord. 

42  And  Ab'i-gail  hasted,  and  arose,  and  rode  upon  an  ass, 
with  five  damsels  of  hers  that  went  fafter  her :  and  she 
went  after  the  messengers  of  Da'vid,  and  became  his  wife. 

43  Da'vid  also  took  A-hin'o-am*ofJez' re-el;  "and  they  were 
also  both  of  them  his  wives. 

44  ^But  Saul  had  given  ''Mi'chal  his  daughter,  Da'vid's 
wife,  to  II  Phal'ti  the  son  of  La'ish,  which  was  of  ''Gal'lim. 

CHAPTER   X:?CVI. 

Saul  Cometh  to  Hachilah  against  David. 

AND  the  Ziph'ites  came  unto  Saul  to  Gib'e-ah,  saying, 
"Doth  not  Da'vid  hide  himself  in  the  hill  of  Hach'i-lah 
which  is  before  Jesh'i-mon  ? 

2  Then  Saul  arose,  and  went  down  to  the  wilderness  of 
Ziph,  having  three  thousand  chosen  men  of  Is'ra-el  with 
him,  to  seek  Da'vid  in  the  wilderness  of  Ziph. 

3  And  Saul  pitched  in  the  hill  of  Hach'i-lah, which  is  be- 
fore Jesh'i-mon,  by  the  way.  But  Da'vid  abode  in  the  wilder- 
ness, and  he  saw  that  Saul  came  after  him  into  the  wilderness. 

4  Da'vid  therefore  sent  out  spies,  and  understood  that  Saul 
was  come  in  very  deed. 

5  ^And  Da'vid  arose  and  came  to  the  place  where  Saul 
had  pitched :  and  Da'vid  beheld  the  place  where  Saul  lay, 
and  ''Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  the  captain  of  his  host ;  and 
Saul  lay  in  the  ||  trench,  and  the  people  pitched  round 
about  him. 


spoken   concerning  thee,  and  shall  have  appointed 

31  thee  prince  over  Is'ra-el ;  that  this  shall  be  no  'grief 
unto  thee,  nor  offence  of  heart  unto  my  lord,  ^either 
that  thou  hast  shed  blood  causeless,  or  that  my  lord 
hath  avenged  himself:  and  when  the  Lord  shall 
have  dealt  well  with  my  lord,  then  remember  thine 

32  handmaid.  And  Da'vid  said  to  Ab'i-gail,  Blessed  be 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  sent  thee  this 

33 day  to  meet  me:  and  blessed  be  thy  ^wisdom,  and 
blessed  be  thou,  which  hast  kept  me  this  day  from 
bloodguiltiness,  and  from  avenging  myself  with  mine 

34  own  hand.  For  in  very  deed,  as  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  liveth,  which  hath  withholden  me  from 
hurting  thee,  except  thou  hadst  hasted  and  come  to 
meet  me,  surely  there  had  not  been  left  unto  Na'bal 
by  the    morning   light  so  much  as  one  man  child. 

35  So  Da'vid  received  of  her  hand  that  which  she  had 
brought  him :  and  he  said  unto  her.  Go  up  in  peace 
to  thine  house;   see,  I  have  hearkened  to  thy  voice, 

36  and  have  accepted  thy  person.  And  Ab'i-gail  came 
to  Na'bal ;  and,  behold,  he  held  a  feast  in  his  house, 
like  the  feast  of  a  king ;  and  Na'bal's  heart  was  merry 
within  him, for  he  was  very  drunken:  wherefore  she 
told  him  nothing,  less  or  more,  until  the  morning 

37  light.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning,  when 
the  wine  was  gone  out  of  Na'bal,  that  his  wife  told 
him  these  things,  and  his  heart  died  within  him,  and 

38  he  became  as  a  stone.  And  it  came  to  pass  about 
ten  days  after,  that  the  Lord  smote  Na'bal,  that  he 

39  died.  And  when  Da'vid  heard  that  Na'bal  was  dead, 
he  said.  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  that  hath  pleaded  the 
cause  of  my  reproach  from  the  hand  of  Na'bal,  and 
hath  kept  back  his  servant  from  evil :  and  the  evil- 
doing  of  Na'bal  hath  the  Lord  returned  upon  his 
own  head.     And  Da'vid  sent  and  ^spake  concerning 

40  Ab'i-gail,  to  take  her  to  him  to  wife.  And  when  the 
servants  of  Da'vid  were  come  to  Ab'i-gail  to  Car'mel, 
they  spake  unto  her,  saying,  Da'vid  hath  sent  us  unto 

41  thee,  to  take  thee  to  him  to  wife.  And  she  arose, 
and  bowed  herself  with  her  face  to  the  earth,  and 
said.  Behold,  thine  handmaid  is  a  servant  to  wash 

42  the  feet  of  the  servants  of  my  lord.  And  Ab'i-gail 
hasted,  and  arose,  and  rode  upon  an  ass,  with  five 
damsels  of  hers  that  followed  her;  and  she  went 
after  the  messengers  of  Da'vid,  and  became  his  wife. 

43 Da'vid  also  took  A-hin'o-am  of  Jez/ re-el;   and  they 
44  became  both  of  them  his  wives.    Now  Saul  had  given 

Mi'chal  his  daughter,  Da'vid's  wife,  to  "Pal'ti  the  son 

of  La'ish,  which  was  of  Gal'lim. 

-40  And  the  Ziph'ites  came  unto  Saul  to  Gib'e-ah,  say- 
ing, Doth  not  Da'vid  hide  himself  in  the  hill  of  Hach'- 

2  i-lah,  which  is  before  "the  desert  ?  Then  Saul  arose, 
and  went  down  to  the  wilderness  of  Ziph,  having 
three  thousand  chosen  men  of  Is'ra-el  with  him,  to 

3  seek  Da'vid  in  the  wilderness  of  Ziph.  And  Saul 
pitched  in  the  hill  of  Hach'i-lah,  which  is  before  'the 
desert,  by  the  way.  But  Da'vid  abode  in  i/he  wil- 
derness, and  he  saw  that  Saul  came  after  him  into 

4  the  v/ilderness.  Da'vid  therefore  sent  out  spies, 
and  understood  that  Saul  was  come  'of  a  certainty. 

5  And  Da'vid  arose,  and  came  to  the  place  where  Saul 
had  pitched :  and  Da'vid  beheld  the  place  where 
Saul  lay,  and  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  the  captain 
rf  his  host :  and  Saul  lay  within  the  'place  of  the 
wagons,  and  the  people   pitched  round  about  him.

6  Then  answered  David,  and  said  to  A-him'e-ieck  the  Hit'- 
tite,  and  to  A-bisn'a-i  "the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  brother  to  Jo'ab, 
saying,  Who  will  go  ''down  with  me  to  Saul  to  the  camp? 
And  A-bish'a-i  said,  I  will  go  down  with  thee. 

7  So  Da'vid  and  A-bish'a-i  came  to  the  people  by  night: 
and,  behold,  Saul  lay  sleeping  within  the  trench,  and  his 
spear  stuck  in  the  ground  at  his  bolster :  but  Ab'ner  and  the 
people  lay  round  about  him. 

8  Then  said  A-bish'a-i  to  Da'vid,  God  hath  fdelivered  thine 
enemy  -into  thine  hand  this  day :  now  therefore  let  me  smite 
him,  I  pray  thee,  with  the  spear,  even  to  the  earth  at  once, 
and  I  will  not  smite  him  the  second  time. 

9  And  Da'vid  said  to  A-bish'a-i,  Destroy  him  not :  'for  who 
can  stretch  forth  his  hand  against  the  Lord's  anointed,  and 
be  guiltless? 

10  Da'vid  said  furthermore,  As  the  Lord  liveth,-'^the  Lord 
shall  smite  him ;  or  "his  day  shall  come  to  die ;  or  he  shall 
'descend  into  battle,  and  perish. 

1 1  'The  Lord  forbid  that  I  should  stretch  forth  mine  hand 
against  the  Lord's  anointed:  but,  I  pray  thee,  take  thou 
now  the  spear  that  is  at  his  bolster,  and  the  cruse  of  water, 
and  let  us  go. 

12  So  Da'vid  took  the  spear  and  the  cruse  of  water  from 
Saul's  bolster;  and  they  gat  them  away,  and  no  man 
saw  it,  nor  knew  it,  neither  awaked :  for  they  were  all 
asleep;  because  *a  deep  sleep  from  the  Lord  was  fallen 
upon  them. 

13  ^Then  Da'vid  went  over  to  the  other  side,  and  stood 
on  the  top  of  a  hill  afar  off;  a  great  space  being  between 
them : 

14  And  Da'vid  cried  to  the  people,  and  to  Ab'ner  the 
son  of  Ner,  saying,  Answerest  thou  not,  Ab'ner?  Then 
Ab'ner  answered  and  said,  Who  art  thou  that  criest  to 
the  king? 

15  And  Da'vid  said  to  Ab'ner,  Art  not  thou  a  valiant  man? 
and  who  is  like  to  thee  in  Is'ra-el?  wherefore  then  hast 
thou  not  kept  thy  lord  the  king?  for  there  came  one  of  the 
people  in  to  destroy  the  king  thy  lord. 

16  This  thing  is  not  good  that  thou  hast  done.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  ye  are  fworthy  to  die,  because  ye  have  not 
kept  your  master  the  Lord's  anointed.  And  now  see  where 
the  king's  spear  is,  and  the  cruse  of  water  that  was  at  his 
bolster. 

17  And  Saul  knew  Da'vid's  voice  and  said,  'Is  this  thy 
voice,  my  son  Da'vid  ?  and  Da'vid  said,  It  is  my  voice,  my 
lord,  O  king. 

18  And  he  said,  ""Wherefore  doth  my  lord  thus  pursue 
after  his  servant?  for  what  have  I  done?  or  what  evil  is  in 
mine  hand? 

19  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  let  my  lord  the  king  hear 
the  words  of  his  servant.  If  the  Lord  have  "stirred  thee 
up  against  me,  let  him  f accept  an  offering:  but  if  they  be 
the  children  of  men,  cursed  be  they  before  the  Lord  ;  "for 
they  have  driven  me  out  this  day  from  fabiding  iu  the 
"inheritance  of  the  Lord,  saying,  Go,  serve  other  gods. 

20  Now  therefore,  let  not  my  blood  fall  to  the  earth  before 
the  face  of  the  Lord  :  for  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  is  come  out  to 
seek  'a  flea,  as  when  one  doth  hunt  a  partridge  in  the 
mountains. 

21  ^Then  said  Saul,  'I  have  sinned :  return,  my  son  Da'vid ; 
for  I  will  no  more  do  thee  harm,  because  my  soul  was 
'precious  in  thine  eyes  this  day :  behold,  I  have  played  the 
fool,  and  have  erred  exceedingly. 

22  And  Da'vid  answered  and  said,  Behold  the  king's  spear! 
and  let  one  of  the  young  men  come  over  and  fetch  it. 

23  'The  Lord  render  to  every  man  his  righteousness  and 
his  faithfulness :  for  the  Lord  delivered  thee  into  my  hand 
to-day,  but  I  would  not  stretch  forth  mine  hand  against  the 
Lord's  anointed. 


6  Then  answered  Da'vid  and  said  to  A-him'e-lech  the 
Hit'tite,  and  to  A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  brother 
to  Jo'ab,  saying.  Who  will  go  down  with  me  to  Saul  to 
the  camp?     And  A-bish'a-i  said,  I  will  go  down  with 

7  thee.  So  Da'vid  and  A-bish'a-i  came  to  the  people 
by  night :  and,  behold,  Saul  lay  sleeping  within  the 
'place  of  the  wagons,  with  his  spear  stuck  in  the 
ground  at  his  h^d :  and  Ab'ner  and  the  people  lay 

8  round  about  him.  Then  said  A-bish'a-i  to  Da'vid,  God 
hath  delivered  up  thine  enemy  into  thine  hand  this 
day :  now  therefore  let  me  smite  him,  I  pray  thee, 

.   with  the  spear  to  the  earth  at  one  stroke,  and  I  will 

9  not  smite  him  the  second  time.  And  Da'vid  said  to 
A-bish'a-i,  Destroy  him  not:  for  who  can  put  forth 
his  hand  against  the  Lord's  anointed,  and  be  guilt- 

10 less?  And  Da'vid  said.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  the 
Lord  shall  smite  him ;  ^or  his  day  shall  come  to 
die;  or   he  shall  go  down   into  battle,  and  perish. 

11  The  Lord  forbid  that  I  should  put  forth  mine  hand 
against  the  Lord's  anointed:  but  now  take,  I  pray 
thee,  the  spear  that  is  at  his  head,  and  the  cruse  of 

12  water,  and  let  us  go.  So  Da'vid  took  the  spear  and 
the  cruse  of  water  from  SauPs  head;  and  they  gat 
them  away,  and  no  man  saw  it,  nor  knew  it,  neither 
did  any  awake :  for  they  were  all  asleep ;  because  a 
deep  sleep  from  the  Lord  was  fallen  upon  them. 

13  Then  Da'vid  went  over  to  the  other  side,  and  stood 
on  the  top  of  the  mountain  afar  off;   a  great  space 

14  being  between  them :  and  Da'vid  cried  to  the  people, 
and  to  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  saying,  Answerest  thou 
not,  Ab'ner?     Then  Ab'ner  answered  and  said.  Who 

15 art  thou  that  criest  to  the  king?  And  Da'vid  said 
to  Ab'ner,  Art  not  thou  a  valiant  man  ?  and  who  is  like 
to  thee  in  Is'ra-el?  wherefore  then  hast  thou  not  kept 
watch  over  thy  lord  the  king  ?  for  there  came  one 

16  of  the  people  in  to  destroy  the  king  thy  lord.  This 
thing  is  not  good  that  thou  hast  done.  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  ye  are  Worthy  to  die,  because  ye  have  not 
kept  watch  over  your  lord,  the  Lord's  anointed. 
And  now,  see,  where  the   king's  spear  is,  and  the 

17  cruse  of  water  that  was  at  his  head.  And  Saul  knew 
Da'vid's  voice  and  said.  Is  this  thy  voice,  my  son 
Da'vid?     And  Da'vid  said.  It  is  my  voice,  my  lord, 

18  O  king.  And  he  said,  Wherefore  doth  my  lord 
pursue  after  his  servant?  for  what  have  I  done?  or 

19 what  evil  is  in  mine  hand?  Now  therefore,  I  pray 
thee,  let  my  lord  the  king  hear  the  words  of  his  serv- 
ant. If  it  be  the  Lord  that  hath  stirred  thee  up 
against  me,  let  him  ^accept  an  offering :  but  if  it  be 
the  children  of  men,  cursed  be  they  before  the  Lord  ; 
for  they  have  driven  me  out  this  day  that  I  should 
'not  cleave  unto  the  inheritance  of  the  Lord,  saying, 

20  Go,  serve  other  gods.  Now  therefore,  let  not  my 
blood  fall  to  the  earth  away  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord  :  for  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  is  come  out  to  seek  'a 
flea,   as  when    one  doth    hunt  a  partridge   in    the 

21  mountains.  Then  said  Saul,  I  have  sinned :  re- 
turn, my  son  Da'vid:  for  I  will  no  more  do  thee 
harm,  because  my  life  was  precious  in  thine  eyes 
this  day :  behold,  I  have  played  the  fool,  and  have 

22  erred  exceedingly.  And  Da'vid  answered  and  said. 
Behold  'the    spear,  O   king!    let   then  one  of  the 

23  young  men  come  over  and  fetch  it.  And  the 
Lord  shall  render  to  every  man  his  righteousness 
and  his  faithfulness :  forasmuch  as  the  Lord  deliv- 
ered thee  into  my  hand  to-day,  and  I  would  not 
put  forth  mine  hand  against  the  Lord's  anointed.

24  And,  behold,  as  thy  life  was  much  set  by  this  day  in 
mine  eyes,  so  let  my  life  be  much  set  by  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  and  let  him  deliver  me  out  of  all  tribulation. 

25  Then  Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  Blessed  be  thou,  my  son 
Da'vid :  thou  shalt  both  do  great  things,  and  also  shalt  still 
"prevail.  So  Da'vid  went  on  his  way,  and  Saul  returned  to 
his  place. 

CHAPTER    XXVII. 

Saul,  hearing  David  to  be  in  Gaih,  seeketh  no  more  for  him, 

AND  Da'vid  said  in  his  heart,  I  shall  now  fperish 
one  day  by  the  hand  of  Saul :  there  is  nothing  better  for 
me  than  that  I  should  speedily  escape  into  the  land  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines ;  and  Saul  shall  despair  of  me,  to  seek  me 
any  more  in  any  coast  of  Is'ra-el :  so  shall  I  escape  out  of 
his  hand. 

2  And  Da'vid  arose,  "and  he  passed  over  with  the  six 
hundred  men  that  were  with  him  'unto  A'chish,  the  son  of 
Ma'och,  king  of  Gath. 

3  And  Da'vid  dwelt  with  A'chish  at  Gath,  he  and  his  men, 
every  man  with  his  household,  even  Da'vid  ''with  his  two 
wives,  A-hin'o-am  the  Jez're-el-i-tess,  and  Ab'-i-gail  the  Car'- 
mel-i-tess,  Na'bal's  wife. 

4  And  it  was  told  Saul  that  Da'vid  was  fled  to  Gath  :  and 
he  sought  no  more  again  for  him. 

5  ^And  Da'vid  said  unto  A'chish,  If  I  have  now  found 
grace  in  thine  eyes,  let  them  give  me  a  place  in  some  town 
in  the  country,  that  I  may  dwell  there :  for  why  should  thy 
servant  dwell  in  the  royal  city  with  thee? 

6  Then  A'chish  gave  him  Zik'lag  that  day :  wherefore 
''Zik'lag  pertaineth  unto  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  unto  this  day. 

7  And  fthe  time  that  Da'vid  dwelt  in  the  country  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines  was  fa  full  year  and  four  months. 

8  ^And  Da'vid  and  his  men  went  up,  and  invaded  'the 
Gesh'ur-ites, -^and  the  ||  Gez'rites,  and  the  "Am'a-lek-ites:  for 
those  nations  were  of  old  the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  ''as 
thou  goest  to  Shur,  even  unto  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

9  And  Da'vid  smote  the  land,  and  left  neither  man  nor 
woman  alive,  and  took  away  the  sheep,  and  the  oxen,  and 
the  asses,  and  the  camels,  and  the  apparel,  and  returned,  and 
came  to  A'chish. 

10  And  A'chish  said,  ||  Whither  have  ye  made  a  road  to- 
day? And  Da'vid  said.  Against  the  south  of  Ju'dah,  and 
against  the  south  of  'the  Je-rah'me-el-ites,  and  against  the 
south  of  'the  Ken'ites. 

1 1  And  Da'vid  saved  neither  man  nor  woman  alive,  to  bring 
tidings  to  Gath,  saying,  Lest  they  should  tell  on  us,  saying. 
So  did  Da'vid,  and  so  will  be  his  manner  all  the  while  he 
dwelleth  in  the  country  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

12  And  A'chish  believed  Da'vid,  saying.  He  hath  made 
his  people  Is'ra-el  futterly  to  abhor  him ;  therefore  he  shall 
be  my  servant  for  ever. 

CHAF-TKR  XXVIII. 

Saul  consulieih  a  witch  at  En-dor. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines gathered  their  armies  together  for  warfare,  to  fight 
with  Is'ra-el.  And  A'chish  said  unto  Da'vid,  Know  thou 
assuredly,  that  thou  shalt  go  out  with  me  to  battle,  thou 
and  thy  men. 

2  And  Da'vid  said  to  A'chish,  Surely  thou  shalt  know  what 
thy  servant  can  do.  And  A'chish  said  to  Da'vid,  Therefore 
will  I  make  thee  keeper  of  mine  head  for  ever. 

3  ^Now  'Sam'u-el  was  dead,  and  all  Is'ra-el  had  lamented 
him,  and  buried  him  in  Ra'mah,  even  in  his  own  city.  And 
Saul  had  put  away  ""those  that  had  familiar  spirits,  and  the 
wizards,  out  of  the  land. 

4  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  gathered  themselves  together,  and 
came  and  pitched  in'^Shu'nem :  and  Saul  gathered  all  Is'ra-el 
together,  and  they  pitched  in  "Gil-bo'a. 


24  And,  behold,  as  thy  life  was  much  set  by  this  day 
in  mine  eyes,  so  let  my  life  be  much  set  by  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Loed,  and  let  him  deliver  me  out  of  all 

25  tribulation.  Then  Saul  said  to  Da'vid,  Blessed  be 
thou,  my  son  Da'vid :  thou  .shalt  both  do  mightily, 
and  shalt  surely  prevail.  So  Da'vid  went  his  way, 
and  Saul  returned  to  his  place. 

^  ♦  And  Da'vid  said  in  his  heart,  I  shall  now  perish 
one  day  by  the  hand  of  Saul :  there  is  nothing  bet- 
ter for  me  than  that  I  should  escape  into  the  land 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines ;  and  Saul  shall  despair  of  me,  to 
seek  me  any  more  in  all  the  borders  of  Is'ra-el :  so 

2  shall  I  escape  out  of  his  hand.  And  Da'vid  arose, 
and  passed  over,  he  and  the  six  hundred  men  that 
were  with  him,  unto  A'chish  the  son  of  Ma'och,  king 

3  of  Gath.  And'  Da'vid  dwelt  with  A'chish  at  Gath, 
he  and  his  men,  every  man  with  his  hou.sehold,  even 
Da'vid  with  his  two  wives,  A-hin'o-am  the  .lez're-el- 
i-tess,  and  Ab'i-gail  the  Car'mel-i-tess,  Na'bal's  wife. 

4  And  it  was  told  Saul  that  Da'vid  was  fled  to  Gath : 
and  he  sought  no  more  again  for  him. 

5  And  Da'vid  said  unto  A'chish,  If  now  I  have  found 
grace  in  thine  eyes,  let  them  give  me  a  place  in  one 
of  the  cities  in  the  'country,  that  I  may  dwell  there : 
for  why  should  thy  servant  dwell  in  the  royal  city 

6  with  thee  ?  Then  A'chish  gave  him  Zik'lag  that  day : 
wherefore  Zik'lag  pertaineth  unto  the  kings  of  Ju'dah 
unto  this  day. 

7  And  the  number  of  the  days  that  Da'vid  dwelt  in 
the  'country  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  was  a  full  year  and  four 

8  months.  And  Da'vid  and  his  men  went  up,  and 
made  a  raid  upon  the  Gesh'ur-ites,  and  the  ^Gii"'zites, 
and  the  Am'a-lek-ites  :  for  those  nations  were  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land,  'which  were  of  old,  as  thou 

9  goest  to  Shur,  even  unto  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And 
Da'vid  smote  the  land,  and  saved  neither  man  nor 
woman  alive,  and  took  away  the  sheep,  and  the  oxen, 
and  the  asses,  and  the  camels,  and  the  apparel ;  and 

10  he  returned,  and  came  to  A'chish.  And  A'chish  said, 
^Whither  have  ye  made  a  raid  to-day?  And  Da'vid 
said,  Against  the  South  of  Ju'dah,  and  against  the 
South  of  the  Je-rah'me-el-ites,  and  against  the  South 

11  of  the  Ken'ites.  And  Da'vid  saved  neither  man  nor 
woman  alive,  to  bring  them  to  Gath,  saying,  Lest 
they  should  tell  on  us,  saying.  So  did  Da'vid,  and  so 
hath  been  his  manner  all  the  while  he  hath  dwelt  in 

12  the  'country  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  A'chish  be- 
lieved Da'vid,  saying.  He  hath  made  his  people  Is'ra-el 
utterly  to  abhor  him ;  therefore  he  shall  be  my  serv- 
ant for  ever. 

^O  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  the  Phi- 
lis'tines  gathered  their  ^hosts  together  for  warfare,  to 
fight  with  Is'ra-el.  And  A'chish  said  unto  Da'vid, 
Know  thou  assuredly,  that  thou  shalt  go  out  with 

2  me  in  the  host,  thou  and  thy  men.  And  Da'vid 
said  to  A'chish,  Therefore  thou  shalt  knoM'  what 
thy  servant  will  do.  And  A'chish  said  to  Da'vid, 
Therefore  will  I  make  thee  keeper  of  mine  head 
for  ever. 

3  Now  Sam'u-el  was  dead,  and  all  Is'ra-el  had  la- 
mented him,  and  buried  him  in  Ra'mah,  even  in  his 
own  city.  And  Saul  had  put  away  those  that  had 
familiar  spirits,  and   the  wizards,  out   of  the   land. 

4  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  gathered  themselves  together, 
and  came  and  pitched  in  Shu'nem :  and  Saul  gath- 
ered all  Is'ra-el  together,  and  they  pitched  in  Gil-bo'a.

5  And  when  Saul  saw  the  host  of  the  Phi-US' tines,  he  was 
-'afraid,  and  his  heart  greatly  trembled. 

6  And  when  Saixl  inquired  of  the  Lord,  "the  Lord  an- 
swered him  not,  neither  by  *dreams,  nor  "by  U'rim,  nor  by 
prophets. 

7  ^Then  said  Saul  unto  his  servants,  Seek  me  a  woman 
that  hath  a  familiar  spirit,  that  I  may  go  to  her,  and  inquire 
of  her.  And  his  servants  said  to  him.  Behold,  there  is  a 
woman  that  hath  a  familiar  spirit  at  En'-dor. 

8  And  Saul  disguised  himself,  and  put  on  other  raiment, 
and  he  went,  and  two  men  with  him,  and  they  came  to  the 
woman  by  night :  and  *he  said,  I  pray  thee,  divine  unto  me 
by  the  familiar  spirit,  and  bring  me  him  up,  whom  I  shall 
name  unto  thee. 

9  And  the  woman  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thou  know- 
est  what  Saul  hath  done,  how  he  hath  'cut  off  those  that 
have  familiar  spirits,  and  the  wizards,  out  of  the  land: 
wherefore  then  layest  thou  a  snare  for  my  life,  to  cause 
me  to  die? 

10  And  Saul  sware  to  her  by  the  Lord,  saying.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  there  shall  no  punishment  happen  to  thee  for 
this  thing. 

11  Then  said  the  woman,  Whom  shall  I  bring  up  unto 
thee?     And  he  said.  Bring  me  up  Sam'u-el. 

12  And  when  the  woman  saw  Sam'u-el,  she  cried  with  a 
loud  voice :  and  the  woman  spake  to  Saul,  saying,  Why 
hast  thou  deceived  me?  for  thou  art  Saul. 

13  And  the  king  said  unto  her.  Be  not  afraid:  for  what 
sawest  thou  ?  And  the  woman  said  unto  Saul,  I  saw  "gods 
ascending  out  of  the  earth. 

14  And  he  said  unto  her,  fWhat  form  is  he  of?  and  she 
said.  An  old  man  cometh  up;  and  he  is  covered  with  "a 
mantle.  And  Saul  perceived  that  it  was  Sam'u-el,  and  he 
stooped  with  his  face  to  the  ground,  and  bowed  himself. 

15  1[And  Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul,  Why  hast  thou  disquieted 
me,  to  bring  me  up  ?  And  Saul  answered,  "I  am  sore  dis- 
tressed ;  for  the  Phi-lis'tines  make  war  against  me,  and 
'God  is  departed  from  me,  and  ""answereth  me  no  more, 
neither  fby  prophets,  nor  by  dreams:  therefore  I  have 
called  thee,  that  thou  mayest  make  known  unto  me  what 
I  shall  do. 

16  Then  said  Sam'u-el,  Wherefore  then  dostthou  ask  of  me, 
seeing  the  Lord  is  departed  from  thee,  and  is  become  thine 
enemy  ? 

17  And  the  Lord  hath  done  ||to  him,  'as  he  spake  by  fme : 
for  the  Lord  hath  rent  the  kingdom  out  of  thine  hand,  and 
given  it  to  thy  neighbour,  even  to  Da'vid : 

18  "Because  thou  obeyedst  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  nor 
executedst  his  fierce  wrath  upon  Am'a-lek,  therefore  hath  the 
Lord  done  this  thing  unto  thee  this  day. 

19  Moreover  the  Lord  will  also  deliver  Is'ra-el  with  thee 
into  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines:  and  to-morrow  shaltthou 
and  thy  sons  be  with  me:  the  Lord  also  shall  deliver  the 
host  of  Is'ra-el  into  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

20  Then  Saul  ffell  straightway  all  along  on  the  earth,  and 
was  sore  afraid,  because  of  the  words  of  Sam'u-el :  and  there 
was  no  strength  in  him ;  for  he  had  eaten  no  bread  all  the 
day,  nor  all  the  night. 

21  ^And  the  woman  came  unto  Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was 
.sore  troubled,  and  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thine  handmaid 
hath  obeyed  thy  voice,  and  I  have  ^put  my  life  in  mine  hand, 
and  have  hearkened  unto  thy  words  which  thou  spakest 
unto  me. 

22  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  hearken  thou  also  unto  the 
voice  of  thine  handmaid,  and  let  me  set  a  morsel  of  bread 
before  thee ;  and  eat,  that  thou  mayest  have  strength,  when 
thou  goest  on  thy  way. 

23  But  he  refused,  and  said,  I  will  not  eat.  But  his  serv- 
ants,  together  with  the  woman,  compelled  him ;   and  he 


5  And  when  Saul  saw  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  he 

6  was  afraid,  and  his  heart  trembled  greatly.  And 
when  Saul  inquired  of  the  Lord,  the  Lord  answered 
him  not,  neither  by  dreams,  nor  by  U'rim,  nor   by 

7  prophets.  Then  said  Saul  unto  his  servants.  Seek 
me  a  woman  that  hath  a  familiar  spirit,  that  I  may 
go  to  her,  and  inquire  of  her.  And  his  servants 
said  to  him.  Behold,  there  is  a  woman  that  hath  a 

8  familiar  spirit  at  En'-dor.  And  Saul  disguised  him- 
self, and  put  on  other  raiment,  and  went,  he  and 
two  men  with  him,  and  they  came  to  the  woman 
by  night :  and  he  said.  Divine  unto  me,  I  pray  thee, 
by  the  familiar  spirit,  and  bring  me  up  whomsoever 

9 1  shall  name  unto  thee.  And  the  woman  said  unto 
him,  Behold,  thou  knowest  what  Saul  hath  done, 
how  he  hath  cut  off  those  that  have  familiar  spirits, 
and  the  wizards,  out  of  the  land:  wherefore  then 
layest  thou  a  snare  for  my  life,  to  cause  me  to  die? 

10  And  Saul  sware  to  her  by  the  Lord,  saying.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  there  shall  no  'punishment  happen  to 

11  thee  for  this  thing.  Then  said  the  woman,  Whom 
shall  I  bring  up  unto  thee  ?     And  he  said.  Bring  me 

12  up  Sam'u-el.  And  when  the  woman  saw  Sam'u-el, 
she  cried  with  a  loud  voice:  and  the  woman  spake 
to  Saul,  saying,  Why  hast  thou  deceived  me?   for 

13  thou  art  Saul.  And  the  king  said  unto  her,  Be  not 
afraid:  for  what  seest  thou?  And  the  woman  said 
unto  Saul,  I  see  ^a  god  coming  up  out  of  the  earth. 

14  And  he  said  unto  her.  What  form  is  he  of?     And 
she  said.  An  old  man  cometh  up;  and  he  is  covered 
with  a  robe.     And  Saul  perceived  that  it  was  Sam' 
u-el,  and  he  bowed  with  his  face  to  the  ground,  and 

15  did  obeisance.  And  Sam'u-el  said  to  Saul,  Why  hast 
thou  disquieted  me,  to  bring  me  up?  And  Saul 
answered,  I  am  sore  distressed ;  for  the  Phi-lis'tines 
make  war  against  me,  and  God  is  departed  from  me, 
and  answereth  me  no  more,  neither  by  prophets,  nor 
by  dreams:  therefore  I  have  called  thee,  that  thou 

16  mayest  make  known  unto  me  what  I  shall  do.  And 
Sam'u-el  said,  Wherefore  then  dost  thou  ask  of  me, 
seeing  the  Lord  is  departed  from  thee,  and  'is  be- 

17  come  thine  adversary  ?  And  the  Lord  hath  ''wrought 
for  himself,  as  he  spake  by  me :  and  the  Lord  hath 
rent  the  kingdom  out  of  thine  hand,  and  given  it  to 

18  thy  neighbour,  even  to  Da'vid.     Because  thou  obey 
edst  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  and  didist  not  exe 
cute  his  fierce  wrath  upon  Am'a-lek,  therefore  hath 
the   Lord   done   this    thing    unto   thee    this    day 

19  Moreover  the  Lord  will  deliver  Is'ra-el  also  with 
thee  into  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  to-mor- 
row shalt  thou  and  thy  sons  be  with  me :  the  Lord 
shall  deliver  the  host  of  Ls'ra-el  also  into  the  hand  of 

20  the  Phi-lis'tines.  Then  Saul  fell  straightway  his  full 
length  upon  the  earth,  and  was  sore  afraid,  because 
of  the  words  of  Sam'u-el :  and  there  was  no  strength 
in  him ;  for  he  had  eaten  no  bread  all  the  day,  nor 

21  all  the  night.  And  the  woman  came  unto  Saul,  and 
saw  that  he  was  sore  troubled,  and  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  thine  handmaid  hath  hearkened  unto  thy 
voice,  and  I  have  put  my  life  in  my  hand,  and  have 
hearkened  unto  thy  words  which  thou  spakest  unto 

22  me.  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  hearken  thou  also 
unto  the  voice  of  thine  handmaid,  and  let  me  set  a 
morsel  of  bread  before  thee ;  and  eat,  that  thou  may- 

23  est  have  strength,  when  thou  goest  on  thy  way.  But 
he  refused,  and  said,  I  will  not  eat.  But  his  servants, 
together  with  the  woman,  constrained  him ;  axid  be

and  sat  upon  the  bed. 

24  And  the  woman  had  a  fat  calf  in  the  house ;  and  she 
hasted,  and  killed  it,  and  took  flour,  and  kneaded  it,  and  did 
bake  unleavened  bread  thereof :

away  that  night. 

CHAPTER  XXIX. 

Ackish  dismisseth  David  with  commendations  of  his  fidelity, 

"RTTOW  "the  Phi-lis'tines  gathered  together  all  their  armies 
iM  'to  A'phek  :  and  the  Is'ra-el-ites  pitched  by  a  fountain 
which  is  in  Jez're-el. 

2  And  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  passed  on  by  hundreds, 
and  by  thousands :  but  Da'vid  and  his  men  passed  on  in  the 
rearward  "with  A'chish. 

3  Then  said  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  What  do  these 
He'brews  here  f  A.nd  A'chish  said  unto  the  princes  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines,  Is  not  this  Da'vid,  the  servant  of  Saul  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el,  which  hath  been  with  me  ''these  days,  or  these 
years,  and  I  have  "found  no  fault  in  him  since  he  fell  unto 
me  unto  this  day  ? 

4  And  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  wroth  with  him; 
and  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  said  unto  him,-^Make  this 
fellow  return,  that  he  may  go  again  to  his  place  which  thou 
hast  appointed  him,  and  let  him  not  go  down  with  us  to 
battle,  lest  "in  the  battle  he  be  an  adversary  to  us :  for 
wherewith  should  he  reconcile  him.self  unto  his  master? 
should  it  not  be  with  the  heads  of  these  men  ? 

6  Is  not  this  Da'vid,  of  whom  they  sang  one  to  another 
in  dances,  saying,  *Saul  slew  his  thousands,  and  Da'vid  his 
ten  thousands? 

6  T[Then  A'chish  called  Da'vid,  and  said  unto  him.  Surely, 
as  the  LoED  liveth,  thou  hast  been  upright,  and  thy  'going 
out  and  thy  coming  in  with  me  in  the  host  is  good  in  my 
sight :  for  *I  have  not  found  evil  in  thee  since  the  day  of  thy 
coming  unto  me  unto  this  day :  nevertheless  fthe  lords 
favour  thee  not. 

7  Wherefore  now  return,  and  go  in  peace,  that  thou  fdis- 
please  not  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

8  ^ And  Da'vid  said  unto  A'chish,  But  what  have  I  done  ? 
and  what  hast  thou  found  in  thy  servant  so  long  as  I  have 
been  fwith  thee  unto  this  day,  that  I  may  not  go  fight 
against  the  enemies  of  my  lord  the  king? 

9  And  A'chish  answered  and  said  to  Da'vid,  I  know  that 
thou  art  good  in  my  sight,  'as  an  angel  of  God :  notwith- 
standing, ""the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  have  said.  He  shall 
not  go  up  with  us  to  the  battle. 

10  Wherefore  now  rise  up  early  in  the  morning  with  thy 
master's  servants  that  are  come  with  thee :  and  as  soon 
as  ye  be  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  have  light,  depart. 

11  So  Da'vid  and  his  men  rose  up  early  to  depart  in  the 
morning,  to  return  into  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  "And 
the  Phi-listines  went  up  to  Jez're-el. 

CHAPTER  XXX. 

The  Amalekites  spoil  Ziklag— David  pursuetk  them. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Da'vid  and  his  men  were 
come  to  Zik'lag  on  the  third  day,  that  the  "Am'a-lek-ites 
had  invaded  the  south,  and  Zik'lag,  and  smitten  Zik'lag,  and 
burned  it  with  fire : 

2  And  had  taken  the  women  captives,  that  were  therein : 
they  slew  not  any,  either  great  or  small,  but  carried  them 
away,  and  went  on  their  way. 

3  ^So  Da'vid  and  his  men  came  to  the  city,  and,  behold,  it 
was  burned  with  fire ;  and  their  wives,  and  their  sons,  and 
their  daughters,  were  taken  captives. 

4  Then  Da'vid  and  the  people  that  were  with  him  lifted  up 
their  voice  and  wept,  until  thev  had  uo  more  Dower  to  weep. 


hearkened  unto  their  voice.     So  he  arose  from  the 

24  earth,  and  sat  upon  the  bed.  And  the  woman  had 
a  fatted  calf  in  the  house;  and  she  hasted,  and 
killed  it;  and  she  took  flour,  and   kneaded  it,  and 

25  did  bake  unleavened  bread  thereof:  and  she  brought 
it  before  Saul,  and  before  his  servants;  and  they 
did  eat.  Then  they  rose  up,  and  went  away  that 
night. 

^v  Now  the  Phi-lis'tines  gathered  together  all  their 
hosts  to  A'phek  :  and  the  Is'ra-el-ites  pitched  by  the 

2  fountain  which  is  in  Jez're-el.  And  the  lords  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines  passed  on  by  hundreds,  and  by  thou- 
sands :    and    Da'vid  and  his  men  passed  on  in  the 

3  rearward  with  A'chish.  Then  said  the  princes  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  What  do  these  He'brews  here  f  And 
A'chish  said  unto  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  Is 
not  this  Da'vid,  the  servant  of  Saul  the  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el, which  hath  been  with  me  these  days  or  these 
years,  and  I  have  found  no  fault  in  him  since  he  fell 

4 away  unto  me  unto  this  day?  But  the  princes  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines  were  wroth  with  him  ;  and  the  princes 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  said  unto  him.  Make  the  man  re- 
turn, that  he  may  go  back  to  his  place  where  thou 
hast  appointed  him,  and  let  him  not  go  down  with 
us  to  battle,  lest  in  the  battle  he  become  an  adver- 
sary to  us :  for  wherewith  sliould  this  fellow  recon- 
cile himself  unto  his  lord  ?   should  it  not  be  with 

5  the  heads  of  these  men?  Is  not  this  Da'vid,  of 
whom  they  sang  one  to  another  in  dances,  saying, 

Saul  hath  slain  his  thousands, 
And  Da'vid  his  ten  thousands? 

6  Then  A'chish  called  Da'vid,  and  said  unto  him.  As 
the  LoBD  liveth,  thou  hast  been  upright,  and  thy 
going  out  and  thy  coming  in  with  mo  in  the  host  is 
good  in  my  sight :  for  I  have  not  found  evil  in  thee 
since  the  day  of  thy  coming  unto  me  unto  this  day : 

7  nevertheless  the  lords  favour  thee  not.  Wherefore 
now  return,  and  go  in  peace,  that  thou  displease  not 

8  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  Da'vid  said  unto 
A'chish,  But  what  have  I  done  ?  and  what  hast  thou 
found  in  thy  servant  so  long  as  I  have  been  before 
thee  unto  this  day,  that  I    may   not  go   and   fight 

9  against  the  enemies  of  my  lord  the  king  ?  And 
A'chish  answered  and  said  to  Da'vid,  I  know  that 
thou  art  good  in  my  sight,  as  an  angel  of  God : 
notwithstanding  the  princes  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  have 
said,  He   shall  not   go    up   with    us   to   the    battle. 

10  Wherefore  now  rise  up  early  in  the  morning  with 
the  servants  of  thy  lord  that  are  come  with  thee : 
and  as  soon  as  ye  be  up  early  in  the  morning,  and 

11  have  light,  depart.  So  Da'vid  rose  up  early,  he  and 
his  men,  to  depart  in  the  morning,  to  return  into 
the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  the  Phi-lis'tines 
went  up  to  Jez're-el. 

vU  And  it  came  to  pass  when  Da'vid  and  his  men  were 
come  to  Zik'lag  on  the  third  day,  that  the  Am'a-lek-ites 
had  made  a  raid  upon  the  South,  and  upon  Zik'lag, 

2  and  had  smitten  Zik'lag,  and  burned  it  with  fire ;  and 
had  taken  captive  the  women  and  all  that  were  there- 
in, both  small  and  great :  they  slew  not  any,  but  car- 

3  ried  them  off,  and  went  their  way.  And  when  Da'vid 
and  his  men  came  to  the  city,  behold,  it  was  burned 
with  fire ;  and  their  wives,  and  their  sons,  and  their 

4  daughters,  were  taken  captives.  Then  Da'vid  and 
the  peonle  tnat  were  with  him  lifted  up  their  voice 
and  wept,  until  they  had  no  more  power  to  weep.

5  And  Da'vid's  Hwo  wives  were  taken  captives,  A-hin'o-am 
the  Jez're-el-i-tess,  and  Ab'i-gail  the  wife  of  Na'bal  the  Car'- 
mel-ite. 

6  And  Da'vid  was  greatly  distressed ;  "^for  the  people  spake 
of  stoning  him,  because  the  soul  of  all  the  people  was 
tgrieved,  every  man  for  his  sons,  and  for  his  daughters :  ''but 
Da'vid  encouraged. himself  in  the  Lord  his  God. 

7  'And  Da'vid  said  to  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,  A-him'e-lech's 
son,  I  pray  thee  bring  me  hither  the  ephod.  And  A-bi'a-thar 
brought  thither  the  ephod  to  Da'vid. 

8  -''And  Da'vid  inquired  at  the  Lord,  saying,  Shall  I  pursue 
after  this  troop  ?  shall  I  overtake  them  ?  And  he  answered 
him.  Pursue :  for  thou  shalt  surely  overtake  them,  and  with- 
out fail  recover  all. 

9  So  Da'vid  went,  he  and  the  six  hundred  men  that  were 
with  him,  and  came  to  the  brook  Be'sor,  where  those  that 
were  left  behind  stayed. 

10  But  Da'vid  pursued,  he  and  four  hundred  men :  "for 
two  hundred  abode  behind,  which  were  so  faint  that  they 
could  not  go  over  the  brook  Be'sor.    . 

1 1  T[  And  they  found  an  E-gy p'tian  in  the  field,  and  brought 
him  to  Da'vid,  and  gave  him  bread,  and  he  did  eat;  and  they 
made  him  drink  water; 

12  And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a  cake  of  figs,  and  two 
clusters  of  raisins :  and  ''when  he  had  eaten,  his  spirit  came 
again  to  him :  for  he  had  eaten  no  bread,  nor  drunk  any 
water,  three  days  and  three  nights. 

13  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him,  To  whom  belongest  thou? 
and  whence  aH  thou  ?  And  he  said,  I  am  a  young  man  of 
E'gypt,  servant  to  an  Am'a-lek-ite  ;  and  my  master  left  me, 
because  three  days  agone  I  fell  sick. 

14  We  made  an  invasion  ujion  the  south  of  'the  Cher'- 
eth-ites,  and  upon  the  coast  which  belongeth  to  Ju'dah,  and 
upon  the  south  of  *Ca'leb ;  and  we  burned  Zik'Iag  with  fire. 

15  And  Da'vid  said  to  him,  Canst  thou  bring  me  down  to 
this  company?  And  he  said,  Swear  unto  me  by  God,  that 
thou  wilt  neither  kill  me,  nor  deliver  me  into  the  hands  of 
my  master,  and  I  will  bring  thee  down  to  this  company. 

16  ^And  when  he  had  brought  him  down,  behold,  they 
were  spread  abroad  upon  all  the  earth,  'eating  and  drinking, 
and  dancing,  because  of  ail  the  great  spoil  that  they  had 
taken  out  of  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  out  of  the 
land  of  Ju'dah. 

17  And  Da'vid  smote  them  from  the  twilight  even  unto  the 
evening  of  fthe  next  day :  and  there  escaped  not  a  man  of 
them,  save  four  hundred  young  men,  which  rode  upon 
camels,  and  fled. 

18  And  Da'vid  recovered  all  that  the  Am'a-lek-ites  had 
carried  away :  and  Da'vid  rescued  his  two  wives. 

19  And  there  was  nothing  lacking  to  them,  neither  small 
nor  great,  neither  sons  nor  daughters,  neither  spoil,  nor 
any  thing  that  they  had  taken  to  them :  "Da'vid  recov- 
ered all. 

20  And  Da'vid  took  all  the  flocks  and  the  herds,  which 
they  drave  before  those  other  cattle,  and  said.  This  is  Da'vid's 
spoil. 

21  ^And  Da'vid  came  to  the  "two  hundred  men,  which 
were  so  faint  that  they  could  not  follow  Da'vid,  whom  they 
had  made  also  to  abide  at  the  brook  Be'sor :  and  they 
went  forth  to  meet  Da'vid,  and  to  meet  the  people  that 
wei-e  with  him :  and  when  Da'vid  came  near  to  the  people, 
he  11  saluted  them. 

22  Then  answered  all  the  wicked  men,  and  men  "of  Be'li-al, 
of  jthose  that  went  with  Da'vid,  and  said.  Because  they 
went  not  with  as,  we  will  not  give  them  aught  of  the  spoil 
that  we  have  recovered,  save  to  every  man  his  wife  and 
his  children,  that  they  may  lead  them  away,  and  depart. 

23  Then  said  Da'vid,  Ye  shall  not  do  so,  my  brethren,  with 
that  which  the  Lord  hath  given  us,  who  hath  preserved 


5  And  Da'vid's  two  wives  were  taken  captives,  A-hin'- 
o-am the  Jez're-el-i-tess,  and  Ab'i-gail  the  wife  of 

6  Na'bal  the  Car'mel-ite.  And  Da'vid  was  greatly  dis- 
tressed; for  the  people  spake  of  stoning  him,  because 
the  soul  of  all  the  people  was  grieved,  every  man 
for  his  sons  and  for  his  daughters :  but  Da'vid 
strengthened  himself  in  the  Lord  his  God. 

7  And  Da'vid  said  to  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,  the  son  of 
A-him'e-lech,  I  pray  thee,  bring  me  hither  the  ephod. 
And  A-bi'a-thar  brought  thither  the  ephod  to  Da'vid. 

8  And  Da'vid  inquired  of  the  Lord,  saying,  'If  I  pur- 
sue after  this  troop,  shall  I  overtake  them  ?  And  he 
answered  him,  Pursue:    for  thou  shalt  surely  over- 

9  take  them,  and  shalt  without  fail  recover  all.  So 
Da'vid  went,  he  and  the  six  hundred  men  that  were 
with  him,  and  came  to  the  brook  Be'sor,  where  those 

10  that  were  left  behind  stayed.  But  Da'vid  pursued, 
he  and  four  hundred  men :  for  two  hundred  stayed 
behind,  which  were  so  faint  that  they  could  not  go 

11  over  the  brook  Be'sor :  and  they  found  an  E-gy  p'tian 
in  the  field,  and  brought  him  to  Da'vid,  and  gave  him 
bread,  and  he  did  eat ;  and  they  gave  him  water  to 

12  drink :  and  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a  cake  of  figs 
and  two  clusters  of  raisins ;  and  when  he  had  eaten, 
his  spirit  came  again  to  him :  for  he  had  eaten  no 
bread,  nor  drunk  any  water,  three  days  and  three 

13  nights.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him,  To  whom  be- 
longest  thou?  and  whence  art  thou?  And  he  said, 
I  am  a  young  man  of  E'gypt,  servant  to  an  Am'a-leh- 
ite ;  and  my  master  left  me,  because  three  days  agone 

141  fell  sick.  We  made  a  raid  upon  the  South  of  the 
Cher'eth-ites,and  upon  that  w  hich  belongeth  to  Ju'dah, 
and  upon  the  South  of  Ca'leb ;  and  we  burned  Zik'- 

15  lag  with  fire.  And  Da'vid  said  to  him.  Wilt  thou 
bring  me  down  to  this  troop?  And  he  said, Swear 
unto  me  by  God,  that  thou  wilt  neither  kill  me,  nor 
deliver  me  up  into  the  hands  of  my  master,  and  I 

16  will  bring  thee  down  to  this  troop.  And  when  he 
had  brought  him  down,  behold,  they  were  spread 
abroad  over  all  the  ground,  eating  and  drinking,  and 
feasting,  ^because  of  all  the  great  spoil  that  they  had 
taken  out  of  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  out  of 

17  the  land  of  Ju'dah.  And  Da'vid  smote  them  from 
the  twilight  even  unto  the  evening  of  the  next  day  : 
and  there  escaped  not  a  man  of  them,  save  four 
hundred  young  men,  which  rode  upon  camels  and 

18  fled.  And  Da'vid  recovered  all  that  the  Am'a-lek- 
ites  had  taken :   and  Da'vid  rescued  his  two  wives. 

19  And  there  was  nothing  lacking  to  them,  neither 
small  nor  great,  neither  sons  nor  daughters,  neither 
spoil,  nor  any  thing  that  they  had  taken  to  them : 

20  Da'vid  brought  back  all.  And  Da'vid  took  all 
the  floclis  and  the  herds,  which  they  drave  before 
those  other  cattle,  and  said.  This  is  Da'vid's  spoil. 

21  And  David  came  to  the  two  hundred  men,  which 
were  so  faint  that  they  could  not  follow  Da'vid, 
whom  also  they  had  made  to  abide  at  the  brook 
Be'sor :  and  they  went  forth  to  meet  Da'vid,  and 
to  meet  the  people  that  were  with  him:  and  when 
Da'vid  came  near  'to  the  people,  he  ^saluted  them. 

22  Then  answered  all  the  wicked  men  and  *men  of 
"Be'li-al,  of  those  that  went  with  Da'vid,  and  said. 
Because  they  went  not  with  us,  we  will  not  give  them 
aught  of  the  spoil  that  we  have  recovered,  save  to 
every  man  his  wife  and  his  children,  that  they  may 

23  lead  them  away,  and  depart.  Then  said  Da'vid, 
Ye  shall  not  do  so,  my  brethren,  with  that  which 
the  Lord  hath  given  unto  us,  who  hath  preserved

24  For  who  will  hearken  unto  you  in  this  matter?  but 
"as  his  part  is  that  goeth  down  to  the  battle,  so  shall  his 
part  be  that  tarrieth  by  the  stuff:  they  shall  part  alike. 

25  And  it  was  so  from  that  day  fforward,  that  he  made  it

Behold  a  fpresent  for  you,  of  the  spoil  of  the  enemies  of

30  And  to  them  which  were  in  "Hor'mah,  and  to  them  which

31  And  to  them  which  were  in  'He'bron,  and  to  all  the 
places  where  Da'vid  himself  and  his  men  were  wont  to 
haunt. 

CHAPTER  XXXI. 

Saul  and  his  armourbeayey  kill  themselves. 

"Vr  OW  "the  Phi-lis' tines  fought  against  Is'ra-el :  and  the 
1-1  men  of  Is'ra-el  fled  from  before  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and 
fell  down  ||  slain  in  mount  'Gil-bo'a. 

2  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  followed  hard  upon  Saul  and  upon 
his  sons :  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  slew  "Jon'a-than,  and 
A-bin'a-dab,  and  Mel'chi-shu'a,  Saul's  sons. 

3  And  ''the  battle  went  sore  against  Saul,  and  the  farchers 
f  hit  him ;  and  he  was  sore  wounded  of  the  archers. 

4  "Then  said  Saul  unto  his  armourbearer.  Draw  thy 
sword,  and  thrust  me  through  therewith  ;  lest  -^these  uncir- 
cumcised  come  and  thrust  me  through,  and  ||  abuse  me. 
But  his  armourbearer  would  not:  'for  he  was  sore  afraid. 
Therefore  Saul  took  a  sword,  and  *fell  upon  it. 

5  And  when  his  armourbearer  saw  that  Saul  was  dead, 
he  fell  likewise  upon  his  sword,  and  died  with  him. 

6  So  Saul  died,  and  his  three  sons,  and  his  armourbearer, 
and  all  his  men,  that  same  day  together. 

7  ^And  when  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  that  were  on  the  other 
side  of  the  valley,  and  they  that  were  on  the  other  side 
Jor'dan,  saw  that  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  fled,  and  that  Saul  and 
his  sons  were  dead,  they  forsook  the  cities,  and  fled;  and 
the  Phi-lis'tines  came  and  dwelt  in  them. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  when  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines came  to  strip  the  slain,  that  they  found  Saul  and  his 
three  sons  fallen  in  mount  Gil-bo'a. 

9  And  they  cut  off  his  head,  and  stripped  off  his  armour, 
and  sent  into  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  round  about,  to 
'publish  it  in  the  house  of  their  idols,  and  among  the  people. 

10  *And  they  put  his  armour  in  the  house  of  'Ash'ta- 
roth:  and  ""they  fastened  his  body  to  the  wall  of  "Beth- 
shan. 

1 1  ^°And  when  the  inhabitants  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  heard 
II  of  that  which  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  done  to  Saul, 

12  "All  the  valiant  men  arose,  and  went  all  night,  and 
took  the  body  of  Saul  and  the  bodies  of  his  sons  from  the 
wall  of  Beth-shan,  and  came  to  Ja'besh,  and  'burnt  them 
there. 

13  And  they  took  their  bones,  and  ''buried  them  under  a 
tree  at  Ja'besh,  and  'fasted  seven  days. 


us,  and    delivered   the   troop  that  came  against   us 

24  into  our  hand.  And  who  will  hearken  unto  you  in 
this  matter?  for  as  his  share  is  that  goeth  down  to 
the  battle,  so  shall  his  share  be  that  tarrieth  by  the 

25  stuff:  they  shall  share  alike.  And  it  was  so  from 
that  day  forward,  that  he  made  it  a  statute  and  an 
ordinance  for  Is'ra-el,  unto  this  day. 

26  And  when  Da'vid  came  to  Zik'lag,  he  sent  of  the 
spoil  unto  the  elders  of  Ju'dah,  even  to  his  friends, 
saying,  Behold  a  'present  for  you  of  the  spoil  of  the 

27  enemies  of  the  Lord  ;  to  them  which  were  in  Beth'-el, 
and  to  them  which   were  in  Ra'moth  of  the  South, 

28  and  to  them  which  were  in  Jat'tir;  and  to  them 
which  were  in  Ar'o-er,  and  to  them  which  were  in 
Siph'moth,  and  to  them  which  were  in  Esh-te-mo'a ; 

29  and  to  them  which  were  in  Ra'cal,  and  to  them 
which  were  in  the  cities  of  the  Je-rah'me-el-ites,  and 

30  to  them  which  were  in  the  cities  of  the  Ken'ites;  and 
to  them  which  were  in  Hor'mah,  and  to  them  which 
were   in  ^Cor-a'shan,  and   to   them   which  were  in 

31  A'thach ;  and  to  them  which  were  in  He'bron,  and 
to  all  the  places  where  Da'vid  himself  and  his  men 
were  wont  to  haunt. 

04-  3jf  ow  the  Phi-lis'tines  fought  against  Is'ra-el ;  and 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el  fled  from  before  the  Phi-lis'tines, 

2  and  fell  down  ■'slain  in  mount  Gil-bo'a.  And  the 
Phi-lis'tines  followed  hard  upon  Saul  and  upon  his 
sons ;  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  slew  Jon'a-than,and'A-bin'- 

3a-dab,  and  Mal'chi-shu'a,  the  sons  of  Saul.  And  the 
battle  went  sore  against  Saul,  and  the  archers  over- 
took him;  and  he  was  greatly  distressed  by  reason 

4  of  the  archers.  Then  said  Saul  to  his  armourbearer. 
Draw  thy  sword,  and  thrust  me  through  therewith ; 
lest  these  uncircumcised  come  and  thrust  me  through, 
and  ^abuse  me.  But  bis  armourbearer  would  not; 
for  he  was    sore   afraid.     Therefore    Saul    took  his 

5  sword,  and  fell  upon  it.  And  when  his  armour- 
bearer  saw  that  Saul  was  dead,  he  likewise  fell  upon 

6  his  sword,  and  died  with  him.  So  Saul  died,  and 
his  three  sons,  and  his  armourbearer,  and  all   his 

7  men  that  same  day  together.  And  when  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el  that  were  on  the  other  side  of  the  valley, 
and  they  that  were  beyond  Jor'dan,  saw  that  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el  fled,  and  that  Saul  and  his  sons  were  dead, 
they  forsook  the  cities,  and  fled;  and  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines came  and  dwelt  in  them. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  when  the 
Phi-lis'tines  came  to  strip  the  slain,  that  they  found 
Saul    and  his  three    sons   fallen  in  mount  Gil-bo'a. 

9  And  they  cut  off  his  head,  and  stripped  off  his 
armour,  and  sent  into  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
round  about,  to  carry  the  tidings  unto  the  house  of 

10  their  idols,  and  to  the  people.  And  they  put  his 
armour  in  the  house  of  the   Ash'ta-roth :  and  they 

11  fastened  his  body  to  the  wall  of  Beth-shan.  And 
when  the  inhabitants  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  heard  con- 
cerning him  that  which  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  done  to 

12  Saul,  all  the  valiant  men  arose,  and  went  all  night, 
and  took  the  body  of  Saul  and  the  bodies  of  his  sons 
from  the  wall  of  Beth-shan ;  and  they  came  to  Ja'besh, 

13  and  burnt  them  there.  And  they  took  their  bones, 
and  buried  them  under  the  tamarisk  tree  in  Ja'besh, 
and  fasted  seven  days.

CHAPTER  I. 

David  Jamenieth  Saul  and  Jonathan  with  a  sons'. 

"NJOW  it  came  to  pass  after  the  death  of  Saul,  when 
-i-l  Da'vid  was  returned  from  "the  slaughter  of  the  Am'a- 
lek-ites,  and  Da'vid  had  abode  two  days  in  Zik'lag ; 

2  It  came  even  to  pass  on  the  third  day,  that,  behold, 
'a  man  came  out  of  the  camp  from  Saul  "with  his  clothes 
rent,  and  earth  upon  his  head :  and  so  it  was,  when  he  came 
to  Da'vid,  that  he  fell  to  the  earth,  and  did  obeisance; 

3  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him,  From  whence  comest  thou  ? 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Out  of  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el  am  I 
escaped. 

4  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him,  fHow  went  the  matter  ?  I 
pray  thee,  tell  me.  And  he  answered.  That  the  people  are 
fled  from  the  battle,  and  many  of  the  people  also  are  fallen 
and  dead ;  and  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  his  son  are  dead  also. 

•5  And  Da'vid  said  unto  the  young  man  that  told  him. 
How  knowest  thou  that  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  his  son  be 
dead? 

6  And  the  young  man  that  told  him  said.  As  I  happened 
by  chance  upon  ''mount  Gil-bo'a,  behold,  "Saul  leaned  upon 
his  spear ;  and,  lo,  the  chariots  and  horsemen  followed  hard 
after  him. 

7  And  when  he  looked  behind  him,  he  saw  me,  and  called 
unto  m£.     And  I  answered,  fHere  am  I. 

8  And  he  said  unto  me,  Who  art  thou  ?  And  I  answered 
him,  I  am  an  Am'a-lek-ite. 

9  He  said  unto  me  again,  Stand  I  pray  thee,  upon 
me,  and  slay  me:  for  || anguish  is  come  upon  me,  because 
my  life  is  yet  whole  in  me. 

10  So  I  stood  upon  him,  and  ■'^slew  him,  because  I  was 
sure  that  he  could  not  live  after  that  he  was  fallen :  and  I 
took  the  crown  that  was  upon  his  head,  and  the  bracelet 
that  was  on  his  ai'm,  and  have  brought  them  hither  unto 
my  lord. 

11  Then  Da'vid  took  hold  on  his  clothes,  and  "rent  them; 
and.  likewise  all  the  men  that  were  with  him : 

12  And  they  mourned  and  wept,  and  fasted  until  even, 
for  Saul  and  for  Jon'a-than  his  son,  and  for  the  people  of  the 
Lord,  and  for  the  house  of  is'ra-el ;  because  they  were  fallen 
by  the  sword. 

1-3  ^And  Da'vid  said  unto  the  young  man  that  told  him, 
Whence  art  thou  ?  And  he  answered,  I  am  the  son  of  a 
stranger,  an  Am'a-lek-ite, 

14  And  Da'vid  .said  unto  him,  'How  wast  thou  not  'afraid 
to  *stretch  forth  thine  hand  to  destroy  the  Lord's  anointed? 

15  And  'Da'vid  called  one  of  the  young  men,  and  said. 
Go  near,  and  fall  upon  him.     And  he  smote  him  that  he  died. 

16  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him,  "'Thy  blood  be  upon  thy  head ; 
for  "thy  mouth  hath  testified  against  thee,  saying,  I  have  slain 
the  Lord's  anointed. 

17  ^f  And  Da'vid  lamented  with  this  lamentation  over  Saul, 
and  over  Jon'a-than  his  son  : 

18  ("Also  he  bade  them  teach  the  children  of  Ju'dah  the  use 
of  the  bow:  behold,  it  is  written  "in  the  book  ] | of  Ja'sher :) 

19  The  beauty  of  Is'ra-el  is  slain  upon  thy  high  places: 
'how  are  the  mighty  fallen ! 

20  ''Tell  it  not  in  Gath,  publish  it  not  in  the  streets  of  As'ke- 
lon ;  lest  'the  daughters  of  'the  Phi-lis'tines  rejoice,  lest  the 
daughters  of  the  uncircumcised  triumph. 


THE  SECOND  BOOK  OF 

SAMUEL. 


And  it  came  to  pass  after  the  death  of  Saul,  when 
David  was  returned  from  the  slaughter  of  the 
Am'a-lek-ites,  and  David  had  abode  two  days  in  Zik' 

2  lag ;  it  came  even  to  pass  on  the  third  day,  that, 
behold,  a  man  came  out  of  the  camp  from  Saul  with 
his  clothes  rent,  and  earth  upon  his  head :  and  so  it 
was,  when  he  came  to  Da'vid,  that  he  fell  to  the 

3  earth,  and  did  obeisance.  And  Da'vid  said  unto 
him.  From  whence  comest  thou?  And  he  said 
unto  him.  Out  of  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el  am  I  escaped 

4  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him.  How  went  the  matter  ? 
I  pray  thee,  tell  me.  And  he  answered.  The  people 
are  fled  from  the  battle,  and  many  of  the  people  also 
are  fallen  and  dead ;  and  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  his  son 

5  are  dead  also.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  the  young 
man  that  told  him,  How  knowest  thou  that   Sam 

6 and  Jon'athan  his  son  be  dead?  And  the  young 
man  that  told  him  said.  As  I  happened  by  chance 
upon  mount  Gil-bo'a,  behold,  Saul  leaned  upon  his 
spear;  and,  lo,  the  chariots   and  the   horsemen  fol- 

7  lowed  hard  after  him.  And  when  he  looked  behind 
him,  he  saw  me,  and  called   unto  me.     And   I  an- 

8  swered.  Here  am  I.  And  he  said  unto  me.  Who  art 
thou?     And  I  answered  him,  I  am  an  Am'a-lek-ite. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me.  Stand,  I  pray  thee,  'beside  me, 
and   slay  me,  for  ^anguish  hath   taken  hold  of  me; 

10  because  my  life  is  yet  whole  in  me.  So  I  stood 
'beside  him,  and  slew  him,  because  I  was  sure  that 
he  could  not  live  after  that  he  was  fallen :  and  I  took 
the  crown  that  was  upon  his  head,  and  the  bracelet 
that  was  on  his  arm,  and  have  brought  them  hither 

1 1  unto  my  lord.  Then  Da'vid  took  hold  on  his  clothes, 
and  rent  them ;  and  likewise  all  the  men  that  were- 

12  with  him :  and  they  mourned,  and  wept,  and  fasted 
until  even,  for  Saul,  and  for  Jon'a-than  his  son, 
and  for  the  people  of  the  Lord,  and  for  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el ;  because  they  were  fallen  by  the  sword. 

13  And  Da'vid  said  unto  the  young  man  that  told 
him.  Whence   art  thou?     And    he  answered,  I  am 

14  the  son  of  a  stranger,  an  Am'a-lek-ite.  Aud  Da'vid 
said  unto  him.  How  wast  thou  not  afraid  to  put- 
forth  thine  hand  to  destroy  the   Lord's  anointed? 

15  And  Da'vid  called  one  of  the  young  men,  and 
said.  Go  near,  and   fall  upon  him.     And  he  smote 

16  him  that  he  died.  And  Da'vid  said  uuto  him, 
Thy  blood  be  upon  thy  head ;  for  thy  mouth  hath 
testified  against  thee,  saying,  I  have  slain  the  Lord's 
anointed. 

17  And  Da'vid  lamented  with  this  lamentation  over 

18  Saul  and  over  Jon'a-than  his  son :  and  he  bade  them 
teach  the  children  of  Ju'dah  the  song  of  the  bow : 
behold,  it  is  written  in  the  book  of 'Ja'shar. 

19  *Thy  glory, O  Is'ra-el,  isslain  upon  thy  high  places ! 
How  are  the  mighty  fallen  ! 

20  Tell  it  not  in  Gath, 
Publish  it  not  in  the  streets  of  Ash'kelon : 
Lest  the  daughters  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  rejoice. 
Lest  the  daughters  of  the  uncircumcised  triumph.

21  Ye  "mountains  of  Gil-bo'a,  "let  there  be  no  dew,  neither 
ht  there  be  rain  upon  you,  nor  fields  of  offerings:  for 
there  the  shield  of  the  mighty  is  vilely  cast  away,  the 
shield  of  Saul,  as  though  he  had  not  been  "anointed  with 
oil. 

22  From  the  blood  of  the  slain,  from  the  fat  of  the  mighty, 
'the  bow  of  Jon'a-than  turned  not  back,  and  the  sword  of 
Saul  returned  not  empty. 

23  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  were  lovely  and  |I  pleasant  in  their 
lives,  and  in  their  death  they  were  not  divided :  they  were 
swifter  than  eagles,  they  were  "stronger  than  lions. 

24  Ye  daughters  of  Is'ra-el,  weep  over  Saul,  who  clothed 
you  in  scarlet,  with  other  delights ;  who  put  on  orn:vments 
of  gold  upon  your  apparel.

O  Jon'a-than,  thou  wast  slain  in  thine  high  places.

CHAPTER    II. 

David  goeth  to  Hebron^  where  he  is  made  king  of  Judak,. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Da'vid  "inquired  of 
the  LoBD,  saying,  Shall  I  go  up. into  any  of  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah  ?  And  the  Loed  said  unto  him,  Go  up.  And  Da'vid 
said.  Whither  shall  I  go  up?     And  he  said,  Unto  'He'bron. 

2  So  Da'vid  went  up  thither,  and  his  "two  wives  also, 
A-hin'o-am  the  Jez're-el-i-tess,  and  Ab'igail  Na'bal's  wife 
the  Car'mel-ite. 

3  And  ''his  men  that  were  with  him  did  Da'vid  bring  up,  every 
man  with  his  household:  and  they  dwelt  inthecitiesof  He'bron. 

4  'And  the  men  of  Ju'dah  came,  and  there  they  anointed  Da'- 
vid king  over  the  houseof  Ju'dah.  And  they  told  Da'vid,8ay- 
ing,  Thathhe  men  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  were  theyihsX  buried  Saul. 

5  ^And  Da'vid  sent  messengers  unto  the  men  of  Ja'besh- 
gil'e-ad,  and  said  unto  them,  'Blessed  be  ye  of  the  Loki>, 
that  ye  have  shewed  this  kindness  unto  your  lord,  even  unto 
Saul,  and  have  buried  him. 

6  And  now  Hhe  LoKD  shew  kindness  and  truth  unto  you : 
and  I  also  will  requite  you  this  kindness,  because  ye  have 
done  this  thing. 

7  Therefore  now  let  your  hands  be  strengthened,  and  fbe 
ye  valiant :  for  your  master  Saul  is  dead,  and  also  the  house 
of  Ju'dah  have  anointed  me  king  over  them. 

8  5[But  *Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  captain  of  fSaul's  host, 
took  II  I.sh-bo'sheth  the  son  of  Saul,  and  brought  him  over 
to  Ma-ha-na'im ; 

9  And  he  made  him  king  over  Gil'e-ad,  and  over  the  Ash'- 
ur-ites,  and  over  Jez're-el,  and  over  E'phra-im,  and  over 
Ben'ja-min,  and  over  all  Is'ra-el. 

10  Ish-bo'sheth  Saul's  son  was  forty  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el,  and  reigned  two  years :  but  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  followed  Da'vid. 

11  And  *the  ftime  that  Da'vid  was  king  in  He'bron,  over 
the  house  of  Ju'dah,  was  seven  years  and  six  months. 

1 2  ^  And  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  and  the  servants  of  Ish-bo'- 
sheth the  son  of  Saul,went  out  from  Ma-ha-na'im  to  'Gib'e-on. 

13  And  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  and  the  servants  of 
Da'vid  went  out,  and  met  ftogether  by  "the  pool  of  Gib'e-on : 
and  they  sat  down,  the  one  on  the  one  side  of  the  pool  and 
the  other  en  the  other  side  of  the  pool. 

14  And  Ab'ner  said  to  Jo'ab,  Let  the  young  men  now  arise, 
and  play  before  us.     And  Jo'ab  said.  Let  them  arise. 

15  Then  there  arose,  and  went  over  by  number,  twelve  of 
Ben'ja-min,  which  pertained  to  Ish-bo'sheth  the  son  of  Saul, 
and  twelve  of  the  servants  of  Da'vid.

21  Ye  mountains  of  Gil-bo'a, 
Let  there  be  no  dew  nor  rain 

fields  of  offerings : 
For  there  the  shield  of  the  mighty  was  'vilely  cast 

away. 
The  shield  of  Saul,  ^not  anointed  with  oil. 

22  From  the  blood  of  the  slain,  from  the  fat  of  the  mighty. 
The  bow  of  Jon'a-than  turned  not  back, 

And  the  sword  of  Saul  returned  not  empty. 

23  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  were  lovely  and  pleasant  in 

their  lives. 
And  in  their  death  they  were  not  divided ; 
They  were  swifter  than  eagles. 
They  were  stronger  than  lions. 

24  Ye  daughters  of  Is'ra-el,  weep  over  Saul, 
Who  clothed  you  in  scarlet  ^delicately. 

Who  put  ornaments  of  gold  upon  your  apparel. 

25  How  are  the  mighty  fallen  in  the  midst  of  the  battle ! 
*Jon'a-than  is  slain  upon  thy  high  places. 

26  I  am  distressed  for  thee,  my  brother  Jon'a-than : 
Very  pleasant  hast  thou  been  unto  me : 

Thy  love  to  me  was  wonderful, 
Passing  the  love  of  women. 

27  How  are  the  mighty  fallen,. 

And  the  weapons  of  war  perished ! 

^  And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Da'vid  inquired 
of  the  Lord,  saying,  Shall  I  go  up  into  any  of  the 
cities  of  Ju'dah  ?  And  the  Loed  said  unto  him.  Go 
up.     And  Da'vid  said.  Whither  shall  I  go  up  ?    And 

2  he  said.  Unto  He'bron.  So  Da'vid  went  up  thither, 
and  his  two  wives  also,  A-hin'o-am  the  Jez're-el-i-tess, 

3  and  Ab'i-gail  the  wife  of  Na'bal  the  Car'mel-ite.  And 
his  men  that  were  with  him  did  Da'vid  bring  up,  every 
man  with  his  household :  and  they  dwelt  in  the  cities 

4  of  He'bron.  And  the  men  of  Ju'dah  came,  and  there 
they  anointed  Da'vid  king  over  the  house  of  Ju'dah, 

And  they  told  Da'vid,  saying.  The  men  of  Ja'besh- 

5  gil'e-ad  were  they  that  buried  Saul.  And  Da'vid  sent 
messengers  unto  the  men  of  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad,  and  said 
unto  them,  Blessed  be  ye  of  the  Loed,  that  ye  have 
shewed  this  kindness  unto  your  lord,  even  unto  Saul, 

6  and  have  buried  him.  And  now  the  Loed  shew 
kindness  and  truth  unto  you :  and  I  also  will  requite 
you  this  kindness,  because  ye  have  done  this  thing. 

7  Now  therefore  let  your  hands  be  strong,  and  be  ye 
valiant:  for  Saul  your  lord  is  dead,  and  also  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  have  anointed  me  king  over  them. 

8  Now  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  captain  of  Saul's  host, 
had  taken  °Ish-bo'sheth  the  son  of  Saul,  and  brought 

9  him  over  to  Ma-ha-na'im ;  and  he  made  him  king  over 
Gil'e-ad,  and  over  the  'Ash'ur-ites,  and  over  Jez're-el, 
and  over  E'phra-im,  and  over  Ben'ja-min,  and  over  all 

10  Is'ra-el.  (Isb-oo'sheth  Saul's  son  was  forty  years  old 
when  he  begaij  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el,  and  he  reigned 
two  years.)    But  the  house  of  Ju'dah  followed  Da'vid. 

11  And  the  time  that  Da'vid  was  king  in  He'bron  over 
the  house  of  Ju'dah  was  seven  years  and  six  months. 

12  And  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  and  the  servants  of  Ish- 
bo'sheth  the  son  of  Saul,went  out  from  Ma-ha-na'im  to 

13  Gib'e-on.  And  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  and  the  serv- 
ants of  Da'vid,  went  out,  and  met  "them  by  the  pool 
of  Gib'e-on ;  and  they  sat  down,  the  one  on  the  one  side 
of  the  pool,  and  the  other  on  the  other  side  of  the 

14  pool.  And  Ab'ner  said  to  Jo'ab,  Let  the  young  men, 
I  pray  thee,  arise  and  play  before  us.     And  Jo'ab  said, 

15  Let  them  arise.  Then  they  arose  and  went  over  by 
number ;  twelve  for  Ben'ja-min,  and  for  Ish-bo'sheth 
the  son  of  Saul,  and  twelve  of  the  servants  of  Da'vid.

16  And  they  caught  every  one  his  fellow  by  the  head,  and 
thrvM  his  sword  in  his  fellow's  side;  so  they  fell  down  to- 
gether: wherefore  that  place  was  called  ||  Hel'kath-haz'zu- 
rim,  which  is  in  Gib'e-on. 

1 7  And  there  was  a  very  sore  battle  thatday ;  and  Ab'nerwas 
beaten,  and  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  before  the  servants  of  Da'vid. 

18  ^And  there  were  "three  sons  of  Zer-u-i'ah  there,  Jo'ab, 
and  A-bish'a-i,  and  A'sa-hel :  and  A'sa-hel  was  "as  light  fof 
foot  fas  a  wild  roe. 

1 9  And  A'sa-hel  pursued  after  Ab'ner;  and  in  going  he  turned 
not  to  the  right  hand  nor  to  the  left  ffrom  following  Ab'ner. 

20  Then  Ab'ner  looked  behind  him,  and  said,  Art  thou 
A'sa-hel  ?     And  he  answered,  I  am. 

21  And  Ab'ner  said  to  him.  Turn  thee  aside  to  thy  right 
hand  or  to  thy  left,  and  lay  thee  hold  on  one  of  the  young 
men,  and  take  thee  his  ||  armour.  But  A'sa-hel  would  not 
turn  aside  from  following  of  him. 

22  And  Ab'ner  said  again  to  A'sa-hel,  Turn  thee  aside  from 
following  me :  wherefore  should  I  smite  thee  to  the  ground  ? 
how  then  should  I  hold  up  my  face  to  Jo'ab  thy  brother? 

23  Howbeit  he  refused  to  turn  aside:  wherefore  Ab'ner  with 
the  hinder  end  of  the  spear  smote  him  'under  the  fifth  rib,  that 
the  spear  came  out  behind  him ;  and  he  fell  down  there,  and 
died  in  the  same  place :  and  it  came  to  pass,  that  as  many  as 
came  to  the  place  where  A'sa-hel  fell  down  and  died  stood  still. 

24  Jo'ab  also  and  A-bish'a-i  pursued  after  Ab'ner :  and  the 
sun  went  down  when  they  were  come  to  the  hill  of  Am'mah,  that 
lieth  before  Gi'ah  by  the  way  of  the  wilderness  of  Gib'e-on. 

25  ^And  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  gathered  themselves 
together  after  Ab'ner,  and  became  one  troop,  and  stood  on 
the  top  of  a  hill. 

26  Then  Ab'ner  called  to  Jo'ab,  and  said.  Shall  the  sword 
devour  for  ever  ?  knowest  thou  not  that  it  will  be  bitterness 
in  the  latter  end  ?  how  long  shall  it  be  then,  ere  thou  bid 
the  people  return  from  following  their  brethren? 

27  And  Jo'ab  said,  ^s  God  liveth,  unless  ''thou  hadst 
spoken,  surely  then  fin  the  morning  the  people  had  ||gone 
up  every  one  from  following  his  brother. 

28  So  Jo'ab  blew  a  trumpet,  and  all  the  people  stood  still,  and 
pursued  after  Is'ra-el  no  more,  neither  fought  they  any  more. 

29  And  Ab'ner  and  his  men  walked  all  that  night  through 
the  plain,  and  passed  over  Jor'dan,  and  went  through  all 
Bith'ron,  and  they  came  to  Ma-ha-na'im. 

30  And  Jo'ab  returned  from  following  Ab'ner :  and  when 
he  had  gathered  all  the  people  together,  there  lacked  of 
Da'vid's  servants  nineteen  men  and  A'sa-hel. 

31  But  the  servants  of  Da'vid  had  smitten  of  Ben'ja-min,  and 
of  Ab'ner's  men,  so  that  three  hundred  and  threescore  men  died. 

32  ^And  they  took  up  A'sa-hel,  and  buried  him  in  the 
sepulchre  of  his  father,  which  was  in  Beth' -le-hem.  And 
Jo'ab  and  his  men  went  all  night,  and  they  came  to  He'bron 
at  break  of  day. 

CHAPTER    III. 

During  the  war  David  still  waxeth  stronger, 

T^OW  there  was  long  war  between  the  house  of  Saul 
-Li  and  the  house  of  Da'vid :  but  Da'vid  waxed  stronger  and 
stronger,  and  the  house  of  Saul  waxed  weaker  and  weaker. 

2  ^And  "unto  Da'vid  were  sons  born  in  He'bron :  and  his 
firstborn  was  Am'non,  'of  A-hin'o-am  the  Jez're-el-i-tess ; 

3  And  his  second,  ||  Chil'e-ab,  of  Ab'i-gailthewifeofNa'bal 
the  Car'mel-ite ;  and  the  third,  Ab'sa-lom  the  son  of  Ma'a-oah, 
the  daughter  of  Tal'mai  king  of  'Ge'shur ; 

4  And  the  fourth,  ''Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of  Hag'gith ;  and 
the  fifth,  Sheph-a-ti'ah  the  son  of  Ab'i-tal ; 

5  And  the  sixth,  Ith're-am,  by  Eg'lah  Da'vid's  wife.  These 
were  born  to  Da'vid  in  He'bron. 

6  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  while  there  was  war  between  the 
house  of  Saul  and  the  house  of  Da'vid,  that  Ab'ner  made 
himself  strong  for  the  house  of  Saul. 


16  And  they  caught  every  one  his  fellow  by  the  head, 
and  thrust  his  sword  in  his  fellow's  side ;  so  they  fell 
down  together :  wherefore  that  place  was  called  'Hel'- 

1 7  kath-haz'zu-rim,  which  is  in  Gib'e-on.  And  the  battle 
was  very  sore  that  day;  and  Ab'ner  was  beaten,  and 

18  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  before  the  servants  of  Da'vid.  And 
the  three  sons  of  Zer-u-i'ah  were  there,  Jo'ab,  and 
A-bish'a-i,  and  A'sa-hel :  and  A'sa-hel  wasas  light  of  foot 

19  ^as  a  wild  roe.  And  A'sa-hel  pursued  after  Ab'ner;  and 
in  going  he  turned  not  to  the  right  hand  nor  to  the 

20  left  from  following  Ab'ner.  Then  Ab'ner  looked  be- 
hind him,  and  said,  Is  it  thou,  A'sa-hel?     And  he 

21  answered.  It  is  I.  And  Ab'ner  said  to  him.  Turn  thee 
aside  to  thy  right  hand  or  to  thy  left,  and  lay  thee  hold 
on  one  of  the  young  men,  and  take  thee  his  Armour- 
But  A'sa-hel  would  not  turn  aside  from  following  of 

22  him.  And  Ab'ner  said  again  to  A'sa-hel,  Turn  thee 
aside  from  following  me :  wherefore  should  I  smite 
thee  to  the  ground?  how  then  should  I  hold  up  my 

23  face  to  Jo'ab  thy  brother?  Howbeit  he  refused  to 
turn  aside :  wherefore  Ab'ner  with  the  hinder  end  of 
the  spear  smote  him  in  the  belly,  that  the  spear  came 
out  behind  him ;  and  he  fell  down  there,  and  died  in 
the  same  place :  and  it  came  to  pass,  that  as  many  as 
came  to  the  place  where  A'sa-hel  fell  down  and  died 

24  stood  still.  But  Jo'ab  and  A-bish'a-i  pursued  after  Ab'- 
ner :  and  the  sun  went  down  when  they  were  come  to 
the  hill  of  Am'mah,  that  lieth  before  Gi'ah  by  the  way 

25  ofthe  wilderness  ofGib'e-on.  And  the  children  of  Ben'- 
ja-min gathered  themselves  together  after  Ab'ner,  and 
became  one  band,  and  stood  on  the  top   of  an   hill. 

26  Then  Ab'ner  called  to  Jo'ab,  and  said.  Shall  the  sword 
devour  for  ever?  knowest  thou  not  that  it  will  be  bit- 
terness in  the  latter  end  ?  how  long  shall  it  be  then,  ere 
thou  bid  the  people  return  from  following  their  breth 

27  ren?  And  Jo'ab  said.  As  God  liveth,  *if  thou  hadst 
not  spoken,  surely  then  'in  the  morning  the  people 
had  gone  away,  nor  followed  every  one  his  brother. 

28  So  Jo'ab  blew  the  trumpet,  and  all  the  people  stood 
still,  and  pursued  after  Is'ra-el  no  more,  neither  fought 

29  they  any  more.  And  Ab'ner  and  his  men  went  all 
that  night  through  the  Ar'a-bah ;  and  they  passed  over 
Jor'dan,  and  went  through  all  Bith'ron,  and  came  to 

30  Ma-ha-na'im.  And  Jo'ab  returned  from  followingAb'- 
ner:  and  when  he  had  gathered  all  the  people  to- 
gether, there  lacked  of  Da'vid's  servants  nineteen  men 

31  andA'sa-hel.  But  the  servants  of  Da'vid  had  smitten  of 
Ben'ja-min,  and  of  Ab'ner's  men,  so  that  three  hundred 

32  and  threescore  men  died.  And  they  took  up  A'sa-hel, 
and  buried  him  in  the  sepulchre  of  his  father,  which 
was  in  Beth'-le-hem.  And  Jo'ab  and  his  men  went  all 
night,  and  the  day  brake  upon  them  at  He'bron. 

^  Now  there  was  long  war  between  the  house  of 
Saul  and  the  house  of  Da'vid :  and  Da'vid  waxed 
stronger  and  stronger,  but  the  house  of  Saul  waxed 
weaker  and  weaker. 

2  And  unto  Da'vid  were  sons  born  in  He'bron  :  and 
his  firstborn  was  Am'non,  of  A-hin'o-am  the  Jez're-el- 

3  i-tess ;  and  his  second,  Chil'e-ab,  of  Ab'i-gail  the  wife 
of  Na'bal  the  Car'mel-ite ;  and  the  third  Ab'sa-lom  the 
son  of  Ma'a-cah  the   daughter  of  Tal'mai-  king  of 

4Ge'shur ;  and  the  fourth,  Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of  Hag- 
gith  ;  and  the  fifth,  Sheph-a-t'iah  the  son  of  Ab'i-tal ; 

5  and  the  sixth,  Ith're-am,  of  Eg'lah  Da'vid's  wife. 
These  were  born  to  Da'vid  in  He'bron. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  there  was  war  between 
the  house  of  Saul  and  the  house  of  Da'vid,  that 
Ab'ner  'made  himself  strong  in  the  house  of  Saul.

7  And  Saul  had  a  concubine,  whose  name  was  'Riz'pah, 
the  daughter  of  A'iah:  and  Ish-bo'sheth  said  to  Ab'ner, 
Wherefore  hast  thou-^gone  in  unto  my  father's  concubine? 

8  Then  was  Ab'ner  very  wroth  for  the  words  of  Ish-bo'- 
sheth, and  said.  Am  I  "a  dog's  head,  which  against  Ju'dah  do 
shew  kindness  this  day  unto  the  house  of  Saul  thy  father, 
to  his  brethren,  and  to  his  friends,  and  have  not  delivered 
thee  into  the  hand  of  Da'vid,  that  thou  chargest  me  to-day 
with  a  fault  concerning  this  woman? 

9  *So  do  God  to  Ab'ner,  and  more  also,  except,  *as  the 
LoED  hath  sworn  to  Da'vid,  even  so  I  do  to  him ; 

10  To  translate  the  kingdom  from  the  house  of  Saul,  and 
to  set  up  the  throne  of  Da'vid  over  Is'ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah, 
*from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba. 

11  And  he  could  not  answer  Ab'ner  a  word  again,  because 
he  feared  him. 

12  ^And  Ab'ner  sent  messengers  to  Da'vid  on  his  behalf, 
saying.  Whose  is  the  land?  saying  also,  Make  thy  league 
with  me,  and,  behold,  my  hand  shall  be  with  thee,  to  bring 
about  all  Is'ra-el  unto  thee. 

13  1[And  he  said.  Well;  I  will  make  a  league  with  thee: 
but  one  thing  I  require  of  thee,  fthat  is,  'Thou  shalt  not  see 
my  face,  except  thou  first  bring  ""Mi'chal  Saul's  daughter, 
when  thou  comest  to  see  my  face. 

14  And  Da'vid  sent  messengers  to  Ish-bo'sheth  Saul's  son, 
saying.  Deliver  me  my  wife  Mi'chal,  which  I  espoused  to 
me  "for  a  hundred  foreskins  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

15  And  Ish-bo'sheth  sent,  and  took  her  from  her  husband, 
even  from  "Phal'ti-el  the  son  of  La'ish. 

16  And  her  husband  went  with  her  f along  weeping  be- 
hind her  to  ''Ba-hu'rim.  Then  said  Ab'ner  unto  him,  Go, 
return.     And  he  returned. 

17  %And  Ab'ner  had  communication  with  the  elders  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying.  Ye  sought  for  Da'vid  fin  times  past  to  be 
king  over  you : 

18  Now  then  do  it:  'for  the  LoED  hath  spoken  of  Da'vid, 
saying.  By  the  hand  of  my  servant  Da'vid  I  will  save  my 
people  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  out 
of  the  hand  of  all  their  enemies. 

19  And  Ab'ner  also  spake  in  the  ears  of  ''Ben'ja-min :  and 
Ab'ner  went  also  to  speak  in  the  ears  of  Da'vid  in  He'bron 
all  that  seemed  good  to  Is'ra-el,  and  that  seemed  good  to  the 
whole  house  of  Ben'ja-min. 

20  So  Ab'ner  came  to  Da'vid  to  He'bron,  and  twenty  men 
with  him.  And  Da'vid  made  Ab'ner  and  the  men  that  were 
with  him  a  feast. 

21  And  Ab'ner  said  unto  Da'vid,  I  will  arise  and  go,  and 
'will  gather  all  Is'ra-el  unto  my  lord  the  king,  that  they  may 
make  a  league  with  thee,  and  that  thou  mayest  'reign  over 
all  that  thine  heart  desireth.  And  Da'vid  sent  Ab'ner  away ; 
and  he  went  in  peace. 

22  ^And,  behold,  the  servants  of  Da'vid  and  Jo'ab  came 
from  pursuing  a  troop,  and  brought  in  a  great  spoil  with 
them :  but  Ab'ner  was  not  with  Da'vid  in  He'bron ;  for  he 
had  sent  him  away,  and  he  was  gone  in  peace. 

23  When  Jo'ab  and  all  the  host  that  was  with  him  were  come, 
they  told  Jo'ab,  saying,  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner  came  to  the 
king,  and  he  hath  sent  him  away,  and  he  is  gone  in  peace. 

24  Then  Jo'ab  came  to  the  king,  and  said.  What  hast  thou 
done  ?  behold,  Ab'ner  came  unto  thee ;  why  is  it  that  thou 
hast  sent  him  away,  and  he  is  quite  gone? 

25  Thou  knowest  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  that  he  came  to 
deceive  thee,  and  to  know  "thy  going  out  and  thy  coming 
in,  and  to  know  all  that  thou  doest. 

26  And  when  Jo'ab  was  come  out  from  Da'vid,  he  sent 
messengers  after  Ab'ner,  which  brought  him  again  from  the 
well  of  Si'rah :  but  Da'vid  knew  it  not. 

27  And  when  Ab'ner  was  returned  to  He'bron,  Jo'ab  "took 
him  aside  in  the  gate  to  speak  with  him  ||  quietly,  and  smote 


7  Now  Saul  had  a  concubine,  whose  name  was  Riz'pah, 
the  daughter  of  A'iah ;  and  Ish-bo'sheth  said  to  Ab  ner. 
Wherefore  hast  thou  gone  in  unto  my  father's  con- 

8  cubine  ?  Then  was  Ab'ner  very  wroth  for  the  words 
of  Ish-bo'sheth,  and  said.  Am  I  a  dog's  head  that  be 
longeth  to  Ju'dah  ?  This  day  do  I  shew  kindness 
unto  the  house  of  Saul  thy  father,  to  his  brethren, 
and  to  his  friends,  and  have  not  delivered  thee  into 
the  hand  of  Da'vid,  and  yet  thou  chargest  me  this 

9  day  with  'a  fault  concerning  this  woman.  God  do 
so  to  Ab'ner,  and  more  also,  if,  as  the  LoED  hath 

10 sworn  to  Da'vid,  I  do  not  even  so  to  him;  to  trans 
late  the  kingdom  from  the  house  of  Saul,  and  to  set 
up  the  throne  of  Da'vid  over  Is'ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah, 

11  from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba.  And  he  could  not 
answer  Ab'ner  another  word,  because  he  feared  him. 

12  And  Ab'ner  sent  messengers  to  Da'vid  ^on  his  be- 
half, saying.  Whose  is  the  land?  saying  also,  Make 
thy  league  with  me,  and,  behold,  my  hand  shall  be 

13  with  thee,  to  bring  about  all  Is'ra-el  unto  thee.  And 
he  said.  Well;  I  will  make  a  league  with  thee:  but 
one  thing  I  require  of  thee,  that  is,  thou  shalt  not 
see  my  face,  except  thou  first  bring  Mi'chal  Saul's 

14  daughter,  when  thou  comest  to  see  my  face.     And 
Da'vid  sent  messengers  to  Ish-bo'sheth  Saul's  son, 
saying,  Deliver  me   my  wife  Mi'chal,  whom   I   be 
trothed  to  me  for  an  hundred  foreskins  of  the  Phi 

151is'tines.  And  Ish-bo'sheth  sent,  and  took  her  from 
her  husband,  even  from  Tai'ti-el  the  son  of  La'ish. 

16  And  her  husband  went  with  her,  weeping  as  he 
went,  and  followed  her  to  Ba-hu'rim.  Then  said 
Ab'ner  unto  him.  Go,  return :  and  he  returned. 

17  And  Ab'ner  had  communication  with  the  elders 
of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  In  times  past  ye  sought  for  Da'vid 

18 to  be  king  over  you:  now  then  do  it:  for  the  LoED 
hath  spoken  of  Da'vid,  saying.  By  the  hand  of  my 
servant  Da'vid  I  will  save  my  people  Is'ra-el  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  out  of  the  hand  of 

19  all  their  enemies.  And  Ab'ner  also  spake  in  the 
ears  of  Ben'ja-min  :  and  Ab'ner  went  also  to  speak  in 
the  ears  of  Da'vid  in  He'bron  all  that  seemed  good 

20  to  Is'ra-el,  and  to  the  whole  house  of  Ben'ja-min.  So 
Ab'ner  came  to  Da'vid  to  He'bron,  and  twenty  men 
with  him.     And  Da'vid  made  Ab'ner  and  the  men 

21  that  were  with  him  a  feast.  And  Ab'ner  said  unto 
Da'vid,  I  will  arise  and  go,  and  will  gather  all  Is'ra-el 
unto  my  lord  the  king,  that  they  may  make  a  cove- 
nant with  thee,  and  that  thou  mayest  reign  over  all 
that   thy   soul   desireth.     And    Da'vid  sent  Ab'ner 

22  away,  and  he  went  in  peace.  And,  behold,  the 
servants  of  Da'vid  and  Jo'ab  came  from  %  foray,  and 
brought  in  a  great  spoil  with  them  :  but  Ab'ner  was 
not  with  Da'vid  in  He'bron ;  for  he  had  sent  him 

23  away,  and  he  was  gone  in  peace.  When  Jo'ab  and 
all  the  host  that  was  with  him  were  come,  they  told 
Jo'ab,  saying,  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner  came  to  the 
king,  and  he  hath  sent  him  away,  and  he  is  gone  in 

24  peace.  Then  Jo'ab  came  to  the  king,  and  said. 
What  hast  thou  done?  behold,  Ab'ner  came  unto 
thee ;  why  is  it  that  thou  hast  sent  him  away,  and 

25 he  is  quite  gone?  Thou  knowest  Ab'ner  the  son 
of  Ner,  that  he  came  to  deceive  thee,  and  to  know 
thy  going  out  and  thy  coming  in,  and  to  know  all 

26  that  thou  doest.  And  when  Jo'ab  was  come  out 
from  Da'vid,  he  sent  messengers  after  Ab'ner,  and 
they  brought  him  back  from  the  'well  of  Si'rah :  but 

27  Da'vid  knew  it  not.  And  when  Ab'ner  was  returned 
to  He'bron,  Jo'ab  took  him  aside  into  the  midst 
of  the  gate  to  speak  with  him  quietly,  and  smote

him  there^nnder  the  fifth  Wfe,  that  he  died,  for  the  blood  of 
"A'sa-hel  his  brother. 

28  ^And  afterward  when  Da'vid  heard  it,  he  said,  "I  and 
my  kingdom  are  guiltlesS'  before  the  Loeb  for  ever  from 
the  fblood  of  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner : 

29  "Let  it  rest  on  the  head  of  Jo'ab,  and  on  all  his  father's 
house ;  and  let  there  not  ffail  from  the  house  of  Jo'ab  one 
'that  hath  an  issue,  or  that  is  a  leper,  or  that  leaneth  on  a 
staff,  or  that  falleth  on  the  sword,  or  that  lacketh  bread. 

30  So  Jo'ab  and  A-bish'a-i  his  brother  slew  Ab'ner,  because 
he  had  slain  their  brother  "A'sa-hel  at  Gib'e-on  in  the  battle. 

31  ^And  Da'vid  said  to  Jo'ab,  and  to  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him,  ''Rend  your  clothes,  and  'gird  you  with 
sackcloth,  and  mourn  before  Ab'ner,  And  king  Da'vid 
himself  followed  the  fbier. 

32  And  they  buried  Ab'ner  in  He'bron :  and  the  king  lifted 
up  his  voice  and  wept  at  the  grave  of  Ab'ner;  and  all  the 
people  wept. 

33  And  the  king  lamented  over  Ab'ner,  and  said.  Died 
Ab'ner  as  a-'^fool  dieth? 

34  Thy  hands  were  not  bound,  nor  thy  feet  put  into  fet- 
ters :  as  a  man  falleth  before  fwicked  men,  so  fellest  thou. 
And  all  the  people  wept  again  over  him. 

35  And  when  all  the  people  came'to  cause  Da'vid  to  eat  meat 
while  it  was  yet  day,  Da'vid  sware,  saying,  ''So  do  God  to  me, 
and  more  also,  if  I  taste  bread  or  aught  else,'till  the  sun  be  down. 

36  And  all  the  people  took  notice  of  it,  and  it  fpleased 
them :   as  whatsoever  the  king  did  pleased  all  the  people. 

37  For  all  the  people  and  all  Is'ra-el  understood  that  day 
that  it  was  not  of  the  king  to  slay  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner. 

38  And  the  king  said  unto  his  servants.  Know  ye  not  that 
there  is  a  prince  and  a  great  man  fallen  this  day  in  Is'ra-el  ? 

39  And  I  am  this  day  fweak,  though  anointed  king; 
and  these  men  the  sons  of  Zer-u-i'ah  *6e  too  hard  for 
me :  'the  Lord  shall  reward  the  doer  of  evil  according 
to  his  wickedness. 

CHAF'TER  IV. 

Baanak  and  Reckab  slay  Ish-bosheth. 

AND  when  Saul's  son  heard  that   Ab'ner  was  dead  in 
He'bron,  "his  hands  were  feeble,  and  all  the  Is'ra-el-ites 
were  'troubled. 

2  And  Saul's  son  had  two  men  thcA  were  captains  of  bands : 
the  name  of  the  one  was  Ba'a-nah,  and  the  name  of  the  fother 
Re'chab,  the  sons  of  Rim'mon  a  Be-e'roth-ite,  of  the  children 
of  Ben'ja-min :  (for  "Be-e'roth  also  was  reckoned  to  Ben'ja-min : 

3  And  the  Be-e'roth-ites  fled  to  ''Git'ta-im,  and  were  so- 
journers there  until  this  day.) 

4  And  *Jon'a-than,  Saul's  son,  had  a  son  (hat  was  lame  of 
his  feet.  He  was  five  years  old  when  the  tidings  came  of  Saul 
and  Jon'a-than  •'but  of  Jez're-el,  and  his  nurse  took  him  up, 
and  fled :  and  it  came  to  pass,  as  she  made  haste  to  flee,  that 
he  fell,  and  became  lame.    And  his  name  was  ||  Me-phib'o-sheth. 

5  And  the  sons  of  Rim'mon  the  Be-e'roth-ite,  Re'chab  and 
Ba'a-nah,  went,  and  came  about  the  heat  of  the  day  to  the 
house  of  Ish-bo'sheth,  who  lay  on  a  bed  at  noon. 

6  And  they  came  thither  into  the  midst  of  the  house, 
cw  though  they  would  have  fetched  wheat;  and  they 
smote  him  "under  the  fifth  rib :  and  Re'chab  and  Ba'a-nah 
his  brother  escaped. 

7  For  when  they  came  into  the  house,  he  lay  on  his  bed 
in  his  bedchamber,  and  they  smote  him,  and  slew  him,  and 
beheaded  him,  and  took  his  head,  and  gat  them  away 
through  the  plain  all  night. 

8  And  they  brought  the  head  of  Ish-bo'sheth  unto  Da'vid 
to  He'bron,  and  said  to  the  king.  Behold  the  head  of  Ish- 
bo'sheth  the  son  of  Saul  thine  enemy,  ''which  sought  thy 
life;  and  the  LoKD  hath  avenged  my  lord  the  king  this 
day  of  Saul,  and  of  his  seed. 

9  ^And  David  answered  Re'chab  and  Ba'a-nah  his  brother, 


him  there  in  the  belly,  that  he  died,  for  the  blood 

28  of  A'sa-hel  his  brother.  And  afterward  when  Da'vid 
heard  it,  he  said,  I  and  my  kingdom  are  guiltless 
before  the  Lord  for  ever  from  the  blood  of  Ab'ner 

29  the  son  of  Ner :  let  it  fall  upon  the  head  of  Jo'ab, 
and  upon  all  his  father's  house ;  and  let  there  not  fail 
from  the  house  of  Jo'ab  one  that  hath  an  issue,  or 
that  is  a  leper,  or  that  leaneth  on  a  staff,  or  that  fall- 

30eth  by  the  sword,  or  that  lacketh  bread.  So  Jo'ab 
and  A-bish'a-i  his  brother  slew  Ab'ner,  because  he  had 
killed  their  brother  A'sa-hel  at  Gib'e-on  in  the  battle. 

31  An4  David  said  to  Jo'ab  and  to  all  the  people 
that  were  with  him,  Rend  your  clothes,  and  gird 
you  with  sackcloth,  and  mourn  before  Ab'ner.     And 

32  king  Da'vid  followed  the  bier.  And  they  buried  Ab'- 
ner in  Hebron :  and  the  king  lifted  up  his  voice,  and 
wept  at  the  grave  of  Ab'ner;  and  all  the  people  wept. 

33  And  the  king  lamented  for  Ab'ner,  and  said. 

Should  Ab'ner  die  as  a  fool  dieth  ? 

34  Thy  hands  were  not  bound,  nor  thy  feet  put  into  fetters: 
As  a  man  felleth  before  the  children  of  iniquity,  so 

didst  thou  fall. 

35  And  all  the  people  wept  again  over  him.  And  all 
the  people  came  to  cause  Da'vid  to  eat  bread  while 
it  was  yet  day ;  but  Da'vid  sware,  saying,  God  do  so 
to  me,  and  more  also,  if  I  taste  bread,  or  aught  else, 

36  till  the  sun  be  down.  And  all  the  people  took  notice 
of  it,  and  it  pleased  them :    as  whatsoever  the  king 

37  did  pleased  all  the  people.  So  all  the  people  and  all 
Is'ra-el  understood  that  day  that  it  was  not  of  the  king 

38  to  slay  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner.  And  the  king  said 
unto  his  servants,  Know  ye  not  that  there  is  a  prince 

39  and  a  great  man  fallen  this  day  in  Is'ra-el  ?  And  I  am 
this  day  weak  though  anointed  king ;  and  these  men 
the  sons  of  Zer-u-i'ah  be  too  hard  for  me :  the  Lord 
reward  the  wicked  doer  according  to  his  wickedness. 

^  And  when  Ish-bo'sheth,  Saul's  son,  heard  that  Ab-' 
ner  was  dead  in  He'bron,  his  hands  became  feeble, 

2  and  all  the  Is'ra-el-ites  were  troubled.  And  Ish- 
bo'sheth,  Saul's  son,  had  two  men  that  were  cap- 
tains of  bands :  the  name  of  the  one  was  Ba'a-nah, 
and  the  name  of  the  other  Re'chab,  the  sons  of 
Rim'mon  the  Be-e'roth-ite,  of  the  children  of  Ben'- 
ja-min :  (for  Be-e'roth  also  is  reckoned  to  Ben'ja-min : 

3  and  the  Be-e'roth-ites  fled  to  Git'ta-im,  and  have  been 
sojourners  there  until  this  day.) 

4  Now  Jon'a-than,  Saul's  son,  had  a  son  that  was 
lame  of  his  feet.  He  was  five  years  old  when  the 
tidings  came  of  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  out  of  Jez're-el, 
and  his  nurse  took  him  up,  and  fled:  and  it  came 
to  pass,  as  she  made  haste  to  flee,  that  he  fell,  and 
became  lame.     And  his  name  was  'Me-phib'o-sheth. 

5  And  the  sons  of  Rim'mon  the  Be-e'roth-ite,  Re'chab 
and  Ba'a-nah,  went,  and  came  about  the  heat  of  the 
day  to  the  house  of  Ish-bo'sheth,  as  he  took  his  rest  at 

6  noon.  ^And  Hhey  came  thither  into  the  midst  of  the 
house,  as  though  they  would  have  fetched  wheat;  and 
they  smote  him  in  the  belly :  and  Re'chab  and  Ba'a-nah

house,  as  he  lay  on  his  bed  in  his  bedchamber,  they 
smote  him,  and  slew  him,  and  beheaded  him,  and 
took  his  head,  and  went  by  the  way  of  the  Ar'a-bah  all 

8  night.  And  they  brought  the  head  of  Ish-bo'sheth 
unto  Da'vid  to  He'bron,  and  said  to  the  king,  Behold 
the  head  of  Ish-bo'sheth  the  son  of  Saul  thine  enemy, 
which  sought  thy  life ;  and  the  Lord  hath  avenged 
my  lord  the  king  this  day  of  Saul,  and  of  his  seed.

the  sonsof  Rim'mon  the  Be-e'roth-ite,  and  said  unto  them,  ^sthe 
Lord  liveth,  'who  hath  redeemed  my  soul  out  of  all  adversity, 

10  When  *one  told  me,  saying,  Behold,  Saul  is  dead, 
fthiuking  to  have  brought  good  tidings,  I  took  hold  of 
him,  and  slew  him  in  Zik'lag,  ||  who  thought  that  I  would 
have  given  him  a  reward  for  his  tidings  : 

11  How  much  more,  when  wicked  men  have  slain  a  right- 
eous person  in  his  own  house  upon  his  bed?  shall  I  not 
therefore  now  'require  his  blood  of  your  hand,  and  take 
you  away  from  the  earth? 

12  And  Da'vid  ""commanded  his  young  men,  and  they  slew 
them,  and  cut  off  their  hands  and  their  feet,  and  hanged  them 
up  over  the  pool  in  He'bron.  But  they  took  the  head  of  Ish- 
bo'sheth,and  buried  it  in  the  "sepulchre  of  Ab'ner  in  He'bron. 

CHAPTER  V. 

Tke  tribes  come  to  Hebron  to  anoint  David  over  Israel. 

rpHEN  "came  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  toDa'vid  untoHe'bron, 
J-    and  spake,  saying,  Behold,  'we  are  thy  bone  and  thy  flesh. 

2  Also  in  time  past,  when  Saul  was  king  over  us,  thovL 
wast  he  that  leddest  out  and  broughtest  in  Is'ra-el :  and  the 
Lord  said  to  thee,  ''Thou  shalt  feed  my  people  Is'ra-el,  and 
thou  shalt  be  a  captain  over  Is'ra-el. 

3  "So  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  came  to  the  king  to  He'bron ; 
■^and  king  Da'vid  made  a  league  with  them  in  He'bron,  "be- 
fore the  Lord  :  and  they  anointed  Da'vid  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

4  ^Da'vid  was  thirty  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
''and  he  reigned  forty  years. 

5  In  He'bron  he  reigned  over  Ju'dah  'seven  years  and  six 
months:  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  he  reigned  thirty  and  three 
years  over  all  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah. 

6  ^And  the  king  and  his  men  went  *to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto 
'the  Jeb'u-sites,  the  inhabitants  of  the  land :  which  spake 
unto  Da'vid,  saying.  Except  thou  take  away  the  blind  and 
the  lame,  thou  shalt  not  come  in  hither:  ||  thinking,  Da'vid 
cannot  come  in  hither. 

7  Nevertheless,  Da'vid  took  the  strong  hold  of  Zi'on :  ""the 
same  is  the  city  of  Da'vid. 

8  And  Da'vid  said  on  that  day.  Whosoever  getteth  up  to 
the  gutter,  and  smiteth  the  Jeb'u-sites,  and  the  lame  and  the 
blind,  that  are  hated  of  Da'vid's  soul,  "he  shall  be  chief  and 
captain.  \\  Wherefore  they  said,  The  blind  and  the  lame 
shall  not  come  into  the  house. 

9  So  Da-vid  dwelt  in  the  fort,  and  called  it  "the  city  of  Da'- 
vid.    And  Da'vid  built  round  about  from  Mil'lo  and  inward. 

10  And  Da'vid  fwent  on,  and  grew  great,  and  the  Lord 
Grod  of  hosts  was  with  him. 

11  l[And  "Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre  sent  messengers  to  Da'vid, 
and  cedar  trees,  and  carpenters,  and  f^i^sons:  and  they 
built  Da'vid  a  house. 

12  And  Da'vid  perceived  that  the  Lord  had  established 
him  king  over  Is'ra-el,  and  that  he  had  exalted  his  kingdom 
for  his  people  Is'ra-el's  .sake. 

13  ^TAnd  'Da'vid  took  him  more  concubines  and  wives 
out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  after  he  was  come  from  He'bron :  and 
there  were  yet  sons  and  daughters  born  to  Da'vid, 

14  And  ""these  be  the  names  of  those  that  were  born  unto 
him  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  H  Sham-mu'ah,  and  Sho'bab,  and  Na'- 
than,  and  Sol'o-mon, 

15  Ib'har  also,  and  El-i-shu'a,  and  Ne'pheg,  and  Ja-phi'a, 

16  And  E-lish'a-ma,  and  ||  E-li'a-da,  and  E-liph'a-let. 

17  ^'Butwhen  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  that  they  had  anointed 
Da'vid  king  over  Ls'ra-el,  all  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up  to  seek 
Da'vid ;  and  Da'vid  heard  of  it,  'and  went  down  to  the  hold. 

18  The  Phi-lis'tines  also  came  and  spread  themselves  in 
"the  valley  of  Reph'a-im. 

19  And  Da'vid  "'inquired  of  the  Lord,  saying,  Shall  I  go  up 
to  the  Phi-lis'tines?  wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  mine  hand? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Da'vid,  Go  up :  for  I  will  doubtless 
deliver  the  Phi-lis'tines  into  thine  hand. 


the  sons  of  Rim'mon  the  Be-e'roth-ite,  and  said  unto 
them.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  who  hath  redeemed  my 

10  soul  out  of  all  adversity,  when  one  told  me,  saying. 
Behold,  Saul  is  dead,  thinking  to  have  brought  good 
tidings,  I  took  hold  of  him,  and  slew  him  in  Zik'lag, 
which  was  the  reward  I  gave  him  for  his  tidings; 

11  How  much  more,  when  wicked  men  have  slain  a 
righteous  person  in  his  own  house  upon  his  bed,  shall 
I  not  now  require  his  blood  of  your  hand,  and  take 

12 you  away  from  the  earth?  And  Da'vid  commanded 
his  young  men,  and  they  slew  them,  and  cut  off  their 
hands  and  their  feet,  and  hanged  them  up  beside  the 
pool  in  He'bron.  But  they  took  the  head  of  Ish-bo'- 
8heth,and  buried  it  in  the  grave  of  Ab'ner  in  He'bron. 

O  Then  came  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  Da'vid  unto 
He'bron,  and  spake,  saying.  Behold,  we  are  thy  bone 

2  and  thy  flesh.  In  times  past,  when  Saul  was  king 
over  us,  it  was  thou  that  leddest  out  and  broughtest 
in  Is'ra-el :  and  the  Lord  said  to  thee,  Thou  shalt  feed 
my  people  Is'ra-el,  and  thou  shalt  be  'prince  over  Is'- 

3  ra-el.  So  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  came  to  the  king 
to  He'bron ;  and  king  Da'vid  made  a  covenant  with 
them  in  He'bron  before  the  Lord  :  and  they  anointed 
Da'vid  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

4  Da'vid  was  thirty  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 

5  and  he  reigned  forty  years.  In  He'bron  he  reigned 
over  Ju'dah  seven  years  and  six  months :  and  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem he  reigned  thirty  and  three  years  over  all  Is'- 

6  ra-el  and  Ju'dah.  ^And  the  king  and  his  men  went 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem  against  the  Jeb'u-sites,  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land :  which  spake  unto  Da'vid,  saying,  'Ex- 
cept thou  take  away  the  blind  and  the  lame,  thou 
shalt  not  come  in  hither:  thinking,  Da'vid  cannot 

7  come  in  hither.     Nevertheless  Da'vid  took  the  strong 

8  hold  of  Zi'on ;  the  same  is  the  city  of  Da'vid.  And 
Da'vid  said  on  that  day,  Whosoever  smiteth  the  Jeb'u- 
sites,  let  him  get  up  to  the  watercourse,  ^and  smite 
the  lame  and  the  blind,  'that  are  hated  of  Da'vid's 
soul.     Wherefore  they  say,  'There  are  the  blind  and 

9 the  lame;  he  cannot  come  into  the  house.  And 
Da'vid  dwelt  in  the  strong  hold,  and  called  it  the  city 
of  Da'vid.    And  Da'vid  built  round  about  from  Mil'lo 

10  and  inward.  And  Da'vid  waxed  greater  and  greater ; 
for  the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  was  with  him. 

11  'And  Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre  sent  messengers  to 
David,  and  cedar  trees,  and  carpenters,  and  masons : 

12  and  they  built  Da'vid  an  house.  And  Da'vid  per- 
ceived that  the  Lord  had  established  him  king  over 
Is'ra-el,  and  that  he  had  exalted  his  kingdom  for 
his  people  Is'ra-el's  sake. 

13  And  Da'vid  took  him  more  concubines  and  wives 
out  of  Je-ru'salem,  after  he  was  come  from  He'bron : 
and  there  were  yet  sons  and  daughters  born  to  Da'vid. 

14  And  these  be  the  names  of  those  that  were  born  unto 
him  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  Sham'mu-a,  and  Sho'bab,  and 

15Na'than,  and  Sol'o-mon;  and  Ib'har,  and  El-i-shu'a, 
16 and  Ne'pheg,   and   Ja-phi'a;   and  E-lish'a-ma,  and 
«E-li'a-da,  and  E-liph'e-let. 

17  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  that  they  had 
anointed  Da'vid  king  over  Is'ra-el,  all  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines went  up  to   seek   Da'vid;   and  Da'vid  heard 

18  of  it,  and  went  down  to  the  hold.  Now  the  Phi- 
lis'tines    had    come    and  spread    themselves    in  the 

19  valley  of  Reph'a-im.  And  Da'vid  inquired  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  Shall  I  go  up  against  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines? wilt  thou  deliver  them  into  mine  hand? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  Da'vid,  Go  up :  for  I  will 
certainly  deliver  the  Phi-listines   into  thine   hand.

20  And  Da'vid  came  to  •'Ba'al-per'a-zim,  and  Da'vid  smote 
them  there,  and  said,  The  Lord  hath  broken  forth  upon 
mine  enemies  before  me,  as  the  breach  of  waters.  There- 
fore he  called  the  name  of  that  place  ||  Ba'al-per'a-zim. 

21  And  there  they  left  their  images,  and  Da'vid  and  his 
men  '||  burned  them. 

22  ^"And  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up  yet  again,  and  spread 
themselves  in  the  valley  of  Reph'a-im. 

23  And  when  ''Da'vid  inquired  of  the  Loed,  he  said,  Thou 
shalt  not  go  up ;  but  fetch  a  compass  behind  them,  and  come 
upon  them  over  against  the  mulberry  trees. 

24  And  let  it  be,  when  thou  "hearest  the  sound  of  a  going 
in  the  tops  of  the  mulberry  trees,  that  then  thou  shalt  bestir 
thyself:  for  then  ''shall  the  Lord  go  out  before  thee,  to 
smite  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

25  And  Da'vid  did  so,  as  the  Lord  had  commanded 
him;  and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tines  from  ^Ge'ba  until  thou 
come  to  •'^Ga'zer. 

CHAPTER   VI. 

David fetcheth  the  ark  from  Kirjath-jearim  on  a  new  cart. 

AGAIN,  Da'vid  gathered  together  all  tlie  chosen  mm,  of 
Is'ra-el,  thirty  thousand. 

2  And  "Da'vid  arose  and  went  with  all  the  people  that  were. 
with  him  from  ||  Ba'a-le  of  Ju'dah,  to  bring  up  from  thence 
the  ark  of  God,  ||  whose  name  is  called  by  the  name  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  'that  dwelleth  behoeen  the  cherubim. 

3  And  they  fset  the  ark  of  God  "upon  a  new  cart,  and 
brought  it  outof  the  house  of  A-bin'a-dabthat  was  in  ||Gib'e-ah: 
and  Uz'zah  and  A-hi'o,the  sons  of  A-bin'a-dab,drave  the  newcart. 

4  And  they  brought  it  out  of  ''the  house  of  A-bin'a-dab, 
which  was  at  Gib'e-ah,  faccompanying  the  ark  of  God: 
and  A-hi'o  went  before  the  ark. 

5  And  Da'vid  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  played  before 
the  Lord  on  all  manner  of  instruments  made  of  fir  wood, 
even  on  harps,  and  on  psalteries,  and  on  timbrels,  and  on 
cornets,  and  on  cymbals. 

6  ^And  when  they  came  to  'Xa'chon's  thrcshiugfloor, 
Uz'zah  •'^put  forth  his  hand  to  the  ark  of  God,  and  took 
hold  of  it;  for  the  oxen  |1  shook  it. 

7  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Uz'zah, 
and  "God  smote  him  there  for  his  \\  error;  and  there  he  died 
by  the  ark  of  God. 

8  And  Da'vid  was  displeased,  because  the  Lord  had  fmade 
a  breach  upon  Uz'zah :  and  he  called  the  name  of  the  place 
||Pe'rez-uz'zah  to  this  day. 

9  And  *Da'vid  was  afraid  of  the  Lord  that  day,  and  said. 
How  shall  the  ark  of  the  Lord  come  to  me  ? 

10  So  Da'vid  would  not  remove  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
unto  him  into  the  city  of  Da'vid :  but  Da'vid  carried  it  aside 
into  the  house  of  O'bed-e'dom  "the  Git'tite. 

11  *And  the  ark  of  the  Lord  continued  in  the  house  of 
O'bed-e'dom  the  Git'tite  three  months:  and  the  Lord 
'blessed  O'bed-e'dom  and  all  his  hou.sehold. 

12  ^And  it  was  told  king  Da'vid,  saying.  The  Lord  hath 
blessed  the  house  of  O'bed-e'dom,  and  all  that  pertaineth 
unto  him,  because  of  the  ark  of  God.  ""So  Da'vid  went 
and  brought  up  the  ark  of  God  from  the  house  of  O'bed- 
e'dom  into  the  city  of  Da'vid  with  gladness. 

13  And  it  was  «o,that  when  "they  that  bare  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  had  gone  six  paces,  he  sacrificed  "oxen  and  fatlings. 

14  And  Da'vid  ''danced  before  the  Lord  with  all  his 
might;  and  Da'vid  ^oas  girded  'with  a  linen  ephod. 

15  'So  Da'vid  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  brought  uptheark 
of  the  Lord  with  shouting,and  with  the  sound  of  the  trumpet. 

16  And  'as  the  ark  of  the  Lord  came  into  the  city  of  Da'vid, 
Mi'chal  Saul's  daughter  looked  through  a  window,  and  saw 
king  Da'vid  leaping  and  dancing  before  the  Lord  ;  and  she 
despised  him  in  her  heart. 

17  ^And  they  brought  in  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  set  it 


20  And  Da'vid  came  to  Ba'al-per'a-zim,  and  Da'vid 
smote  them  there;  and  he  said.  The  Lord  hath 
'broken  mine  enemies  before  me,  like  the  breach  of 
waters.     Therefore  he  called  the  name  of  that  place 

21  ^Ba'al-per'a-zim.  And  they  left  their  images  there, 
and  Da'vid  and  his  men  took  them  away. 

22  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  up  yet  again,  and  spread 

23  themselves  in  the  valley  of  Reph'a-im.  And  when 
Da'vid  inquired  of  the  Lord,  he  said,  Thou  shalt  not 
go  up:  make  a  circuit  behind  them,  and  come  upon 

24  them  over  against  the  'mulberry  trees.  And  it  shall 
be,  when  thou  hearest  the  sound  of  marching  in  the 
tops  of  the  mulberry  trees,  that  then  thou  shalt 
bestir  thyself:  for  then  is  the  Lord  gone  out 
before    thee  to  smite   the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines, 

25  And  Da'vid  did  so,  as  the  Lord  commanded  him ; 


and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tines  from 
come  to  Ge'zer. 


'Ge'ba  until  thou 


P     ^And  Da'vid  again  gathered  together  all  the  chosen 

2  men  of  Is'ra-el,  thirty  thousand.  And  Da'vid  arose, 
and  went  with  all  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
from  Ba'a-le  Ju'dah,  to  bring  up  from  thence  the  ark 
of  God,  ^which  is  called  by  the  Name,  even  the  name 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  that  ^sitteth  upon  the  cherubim. 

3  And  they  set  the  ark  of  God  upon  a  new  cart,  and 
brought  it  out  of  the  house  of  A-bin'a-dab  that  was  in 
Hhehill:  and  Uz'zah  and  A-hi'o,  the  sons  of  A-bin'a-dab, 

4  drave  the  new  cart.  And  they  brought  it  out  of  the 
house  of  A-bin'a-dab,  which  was  in  *the  hill,  with  the 

5  ark  of  God :  and  A-hi'o  went  before  the  ark.  And 
Da'vid  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  played  before  the 
Lord  'with  all  manner  of  instruments  made  of  '"fir 
wood,  and  with  harps,  and  with  psalteries,  and  with 
timbrels,  and   with   "castanets,   and    with   cymbals. 

6  And  when  they  came  to  the  threshing-floor  of 
Na'con,  Uz'zah  put  forth  his  hand  to  the  ark  of  God, 

7  and  took  hold  of  it :  for  the  oxen  '^stumbled.  And 
the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Uz'zah ; 
and  God  smote  him  there  for  his  ''error ;  and  there 

She  died  by  the  ark  of  God.  And  Da'vid  was  dis- 
pleased, because  the  Lord  had  broken  forth  upon 
Uz'zah :  and  he  called  that  place  "Pe'rez-uz'zah,  unto 
9  this  day.  And  Da'vid  was  afraid  of  the  Lord  that 
day ;  and  he  said,  How  shall  the  ark  of  the  Lord 

10 come  unto  me?  So  Da'vid  would  not  remove  the 
ark  of  the  Lord  unto  him  into  the  city  of  Da'vid ;  but 
Da'vid  carried  it  aside  into  the  house  of  O'bed-e'dom 

lithe  Git'tite.  And  the  ark  of  the  Lord  remained  in 
the  house  of  O'bed-e'dom  the  Git'tite  three  months : 
and  the  Lord  blessed  O'bed-e'dom,  and  all  his  house. 

12  And  it  was  told  king  Da'vid,  saying.  The  Lord  hath 
blessed  the  house  of  O'bed-e'dom,  and  all  that  per- 
taineth unto  him,  because  of  the  ark  of  God.  "And 
Da'vid  went  and  brought  up  the  ark  of  God  from  the 
house  of  O'bed-e'dom  into  the  city  of  Da'vid  with  joy. 

13  And  it  was  so,  that  when  they  that  bare  the  ark  of 
•  the  Lord  had  gone  six  paces,  he  sacrificed  an  ox 

14  and  a  fatling.  And  Da'vid  danced  before  the  Lord 
with  all  his  might;  and  Da'vid  was  girded  with  a 

15  linen  ephod.  So  Da'vid  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
brought  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord  with  shouting,  and 

16  with  the  sound  of  the  trumpet.  And  it  was  so,  as 
the  ark  of  the  Lord  came  into  the  city  of  Da'vid, 
that  Mi'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul  looked  out  at  the 
window,  and  saw  ktng  Da'vid  leaping  and  dancing 
before  the  Lord  ;  and  she  despised  him  in  her  heart. 

17  And  they  brought  in  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  set  it

in  "his  place,  in  the  midst  of  the  tabernacle  that  Da'vid  had

18  And  as  soon  as  Da'vid  had  made  an  end  of  offering 
burnt  offerings  and  peace  offerings,  %e  blessed  the  people 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

19  'And  he  dealt  among  all  the  people,  even  among  the 
whole  multitude  of  Is'ra-el,  as  well  to  the  women  as  men, 
to  every  one  a  cake  of  bread,  and  a  good  piece  of  flesh, 
and  a  flagon  of  wine.  So  all  the  people  departed  every 
one  to  his  hou.se. 

20  *l|"Then  Da'vid  returned  to  bless  his  household.  And 
Mi'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul  came  out  to  meet  Da'vid,  and  said. 
How  glorious  was  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  to-day,  who  ''uncovered 
himself  to-day  in  the  eyes  of  the  handmaids  of  his  servants, 
as  one  of  the  "^vain  fellows  ||  .shamelessly  iincovereth  himself!

■'which  chose  me  before  thy  father,  and  before  all  his  house, 
to  appoint  me  ruler  over  the  people  of  the  Lord,  over

22  And  I  will  yet  be  more  vile  than  thus,  and  will  be  base 
in  mine  own  sight:  and  ||of  the  maidservants  which  thou 
hast  spoken  of,  of  them  shall  I  be  had  in  honour. 

23  Therefore  Mi'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul  had  no  child 
'unto  the  day  of  her  death. 

CHAPTER   VII. 

David^s  prayer  and  thanksgiving. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  "when  the  king  sat  in  his  house,  and  the 
LoRDhad  given  him  rest  round  about  from  all  his  enemies; 

2  That  the  king  said  unto  Na'than  the  prophet,  See  now,  I 
dwell  in  'a  house  of  cedar,  'but  the  ark  of  God  dwelleth 
within  ''curtains. 

3  And  Na'than  said  to  the  king,  Go,  do  all  that  is  'in  thine 
heart ;  for  the  Lord  is  with  thee. 

4  ^And  it  came  to  pass  that  night,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Na'than,  saying, 

5  Go  and  tell  fmy  servant  Da'vid,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
■'^Shalt  thou  build  me  a  house  for  me  to  dwell  in  ? 

6  Whereas  I  have  not  dwelt  in  any  house  "since  the  time 
that  I  brought  up  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  E'gypt,  even 
to  this  day,  but  have  walked  in  *a  tent  and  in  a  tabernacle. 

7  In  all  tlie  places  wherein  I  have  'walked  with  all  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  spake  I  a  word  with  ||  any  of  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el,  whom  I  commanded  *to  feed  my  people  Is'ra-el, 
saying,  "Why  build  ye  not  me  r.  house  of  cedar? 

8  Now  therefore  so  shalt  thou  say  unto  my  servant  Da'vid, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  'I  took  thee  from  the  sheep- 
cote,  ffrora  following  the  sheep,  to  be  ruler  over  my  people, 
over  Is'ra-el : 

9  And  "'I  was  with  thee  whithersoever  thou  wentest,  "and 
have  cut  off  all  thine  enemies  font  of  thy  sight,  and  have 
made  thee  "a  great  name,  like  unto  the  name  of  the  great 
men  that  ai-e  in  the  earth. 

10  Moreover  I  will  appoint  a  place  for  my  people  Is'ra-el, 
and  will  ''plant  them,  that  they  may  dwell  in  a  place  of  their 
own,  and  move  no  more;  'neither  shall  the  children  of 
wickedness  afflict  them  any  more,  as  beforetime, 

11  And  as  'since  the  time  that  I  commanded  judges  to  be 
over  my  people  Is'ra-el,  and  have  'caused  thee  to  rest  from 
all  thine  enemies.  Also  the  Lord  telleth  thee  that  he  will 
make  thee  a  hou-se. 

12  ^And  "when  thy  days  be  fulfilled,  and  thou  "'shalt  sleep 
with  thy  fathers,  ='1  will  set  up  thy  seed  after  thee,  which  shall 
proceed  out  of  thy  bowels,  and  I  will  establish  his  kingdom. 

13  "Ho  shall  build  a  house  for  my  name,  and  I  will 
"stablish  the  throne  of  his  kingdom  for  ever. 

14  ''I  will  be  his  father,  and  he  shall  be  my  son.  "If  he 
commit  iniquity,  I  will  chasten  him  with  the  rod  of  men, 
and  with  the  stripes  of  the  children  of  men: 


in  its  place,  in  the  midst  of  the  tent  that  Da'vid  had 
pitched  for  it :  and  Da'vid  offered  burnt  offerings  and 

18  peace  offerings  before  the  Lord.  And  when  Da'vid 
had  made  an  end  of  offering  the  burnt  offering  and 
the  peace  offerings,  he  blessed    the    people    in   the 

19  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And  he  dealt  among 
all  the  people,  even  among  the  whole  multitude  of 
Is'ra-el,  both  to  men  and  women,  to  every  one  a  cake 
of  bread,  and  a  portion  ^of  flesh,  and  a  cake  of 
raisins.     So  all  the  people  departed  every  one  to  his 

20  house.  Then  Da'vid  returned  to  bless  his  house- 
hold. And  Mi'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul  came  out 
to  meet  Da'vid,  and  said.  How  glorious  was  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el  to-day,  who  uncovered  himself  to-day  in 
the  eyes  of  the  handmaids  of  his  servants,  as  one  of 
the  vain  fello-\vS    shamelessly    uncovereth    himself! 

21  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Mi'chal,  It  wasbeforethe  Lord, 
which  chose  me  above  thy  father,  and  above  all  his 
house,  to  appoint  me  prince  over  the  people  of  the 
Lord,  over  Is'ra-el :  therefore  will  I  play  before  the 

22  Lord.  And  I  will  be  yet  more  vile  than  thus,  and 
will  be  base  in  mine  own  sight :  but  of  the  hand- 
maids which  thou  hast  spoken  of,  of  them  shall  I  be 

23  had  in  honour.  And  Sli'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul 
had  no  child  unto  the  day  of  her  death. 

♦  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king  dwelt  in  his 
house,  and  the  Lord  had  given  him  rest  from  all  his 

2  enemies  round  about,  that  the  king  said  unto  Na'than 
the  prophet.  See  now,  I  dwell  in  an  house  of  cedar, 

3  but  the  ark  of  God  dwelleth  within  curtains.  And 
Na'than  said  to  the  king.  Go,  do  all  that  is  in  thine 

4 heart;  for  the  Lord  is  with  thee.  And  it  came  to 
pass  the  same  night,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 

5  unto  Na'than,  saying.  Go  and  tell  my  servant  Da'vid, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Shalt  thou  build  me  an  house 

6  for  me  to  dwell  in  ?  for  I  have  not  dwelt  in  an  house 
since  the  day  that  I  brought  up  the  children  of  Is' 
ra-el  out  of  E'gypt,  even  to  this  day,  but  have  walked 

7  in  a  tent  and  in  a  tabernacle.  In  all  places  wherein 
T  have  walked  with  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  spake 
I  a  -word  with  ^any  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  whom 
commanded  to  feed  my  people  Is'ra-el,  saying,  Why 

8  have  ye  not  built  me  an  house  of  cedar  ?     Now  there- 
fore thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  my  servant  Da'vid,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I  took  thee  from  the  ^sheep 
cote,  from  following  the  sheep,   that  thou  shouldest 

9  be  'prince  over  my  people,  over  Is'ra-el :  and  I  have 
been  with  thee  whithersoever  thou  wentest,  and  have 
cut  off  all  thine  enemies  from  before  thee ;  and  I  will 
make  thee  a  great  name,  like  unto  the  name  of  the 

10  great  ones  that  are  in  the  earth.  And  I  will  appoint 
a  place  for  my  people  Is'ra-el,  and  will  plant  them, 
that  they  may  dwell  in  their  own  place,  and  be  moved 
no  more;  neither  shall  the  children  of  wickedness 

11  afflict  them  any  more,  as  at  the  first,  and  as  from  the 
day  that  I  commanded  judges  to  be  over  my  people 
Is'ra-el ;  a^d  I  ^will  cause  thee  to  rest  from  all  thine 
enemies.     Moreover  the  Lord  telleth  thee  that  tne 

12  Lord  will  make  thee  an  house.  When  thy  days  bo 
fulfilled,  and  thou  shalt  sleep  with  thy  fathers,  I 
will  set  up  thy  seed  after  thee,  which  shall  proceed 
out  of  thy  bowels,  and  I  will  establish  his  kingdom. 

13  He  shall  build  an  house  for  my  name,  and  I  will 
14establi.sh  the  throne  of  his  kingdom    for   ever.     I 

will  be  his  father,  and  he  shall  be  my  son:  if  he 
commit  iniquity,  I  will  chasten  him  with  the  rod  of

took  it  from  Saul,  whom  I  put  away  before  thee. 

16  And  thine  house  and  thy  kingdom  shall  be  established 
for  ever  before  thee :  thy  throne  shall  be  established  for  ever. 

17  According  to  all  these  words,  and  according  to  all  this 
vision,  so  did  Na'than  speak  unto  Da'vid. 

18  ^Then  went  king  Da'vid  in,  and  sat  before  the  Lord, 
and  he  said,  ■'^Who  am  I,  O  Lord  God?  and  what  is  my 
house,  that  thou  hast  brought  me  hitherto  ? 

19  And  this  was  yet  a  small  thing  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord  GoD ; 
"but  thou  hast  spoken  also  of  thy  servant's  house  for  a  great 
while  to  come.  *And  is  this  the  fmanner  of  man,  O  Lord  God? 

20  And  what  can  Da'vid  say  more  unto  thee?  for  thou. 
Lord  God,  'knowest  thy  servant. 

21  For  thy  word's  sake,  and  according  to  thine  own  heart, 
hast  thou  done  all  these  great  things,  to  make  thy  servant 
know  them. 

22  Wherefore  *thou  art  great,  O  Loed  God :  for  Hhere  is 
none  like  thee,  neither  is  there  any  God  besides  thee,  accord- 
ing to  all  that  we  have  heard  with  our  ears. 

23  And  "what  one  nation  in  the  earth  is  like  thy  people, 
even  like  Is'ra-el,  whom  God  went  to  redeem  for  a  people  to 
himself,  and  to  make  him  a  name,  and  to  do  for  you  great 
things  and  terrible,  for  thy  land,  before  "thy  people  which 
thou  rcdeemedst  to  thee  from  Egypt,  from  the  nations  and 
their  gods  ? 

24  For  "^hou  hast  confirmed  to  thyself  thy  people  Is'ra-el 
to  be  a  people  unto  thee  for  ever:  "and  thou,  Lord,  art  become 
their  God. 

25  And  now,  O  Lord  God,  the  word  that  thou  hast  spoken 
concerning  thy  servant,  and  concerning  his  house,  establish 
it  for  over,  and  do  as  thou  hast  said. 

26  And  let  thy  name  be  magnified  for  ever,  saying.  The 
Lord  of  hosts  is  the  God  over  Is'ra-el :  and  let  the  house  of 
thy  servant  Da'vid  be  established  before  thee. 

27  For  thou,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  God  of  Is'ra-el,  hast  fre- 
vealed  to  thy  servant,  saying,  I  will  build  thee  a  house: 
therefore  hath  thy  servant  found  in  his  heart  to  pray  this 
prayer  unto  thee. 

28  And  now,  O  Lord  God,  thou  art  that  God,  and  'thy  words 
be  true, and  thou  hast  promisea  this  goodness  unto  thyservant: 

29  Therefore  now  flct  it  please  thee  to  bless  the  house  of 
thy  servant,  that  it  may  continue  for  ever  before  thee :  for 
thou,  O  Lord  God,  hast  spoken  it:  and  with  thy  blessing 
let  the  house  of  thy  servant  be  blessed  ''for  ever. 

CHAPTER   VIII. 

David  subdueth  the  Philistines  and  the  Moabites, 

AND  "after  this  it  came  to  pass,  that  Da'vid  smote  the 
Phi-lis'tines,  and  subdued  them:  and  Da'vid  took  ||Me- 
theg-am'mah  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

2  And  ''he  smote  Mo'ab,  and  measured  them  with  a  line,  cast- 
ing them  down  to  the  ground ;  even  with  two  lines  measured 
he  to  put  to  death,  and  with  one  full  line  to  keep  alive.  And  so 
the  Mo'ab-ites  ""became  Da'vid's  servants,  and  ''brought  gifts. 

3  ^Da'vid  smote  also  ||Had-ad-e'zer,  the  son  of  Re'hob, 
king  of  'Zo'bah,  as  he  went  to  recover  -^his  border  at  the 
river  Eu-phra'tes. 

4  And  Da'vid  took  ||  from  him  a  thousand  ||  chariots,  and 
seven  hundred  horsemen,  and  twenty  thousand  footmen : 
and  Da'vid  "houghed  all  the  chariot  horses,  but  reserved 
of  them  for  a  hundred  chariots. 

5  *And  when  the  Syr'i-ans  of  Da-mas'cus  came  to  succour 
Had-ad-e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah,  Da'vid  slew  of  the  Syr'i-ans 
two  and  twenty  thousand  men. 

6  Then  Da'vid  put  garrison,  in  Syr'i-a  of  Da-mas'cus :  and 
the  Syr'i-ans  'became  servants  to  Da'vid,  and  brought  gifts. 
*And  the  Lord  preserved  Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went. 

7  And  Da'vid  took  'the  shields  of  gold  that  were  on  the 
servants  of  Had-ad-e'zer,  and  brought  them  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


15  but  my  mercy  shall  not  depart  from  him,  as  I  took 

16  it  from  Saul,  whom  I  put  away  before  thee.  And 
thine  house  and  thy  kingdom  shall  be  made  sure  for 
ever  before  thee :  thy  throne  shall  be  established  for 

17  ever.  According  to  all  these  words,  and  according 
to  all  this  vision,  so  did  Na'than  speak  unto  Da'vid. 

18  Then  Da'vid  the  king  went  in,  and  sat  before  the 
Lord  ;  and  he  said.  Who  am  I,  O  Lord  God,  and 
what  is  my  house,  that  thou  hast  brought  me  thus 

19 far?  And  this  was  yet  a  small  thing  in  thine  eyes, 
O  Lord  God  ;  but  thou  hast  spoken  also  of  thy 
servant's  house  for  a  great  while  to  come ;  'and  this 

20 foo  after  the  manner  of  men,  0  Lord  God!  And 
what  can  Da'vid  sny  more  unto  thee  ?  for  thou  know- 

21  est  thy  servant,  O  Lord  God.  For  thy  word's  sake, 
and  according  to  thine  own  heart,  hast  thou  wrought 
all   this    greatness,   to  make  thy  servant  know   it. 

22  Wherefore  thou  art  great,  O  Lord  God :  for  there 
is  none  like  thee,  neither  is  there  any  God  beside 
thee,  according  to  all  that  we  have  heard  with  our 

23  ears.  ^And  what  one  nation  in  the  earth  is  like  thy 
people,  even  like  Is'ra-el,  whom  God  went  to  redeem 
unto  himself  for  a  people,  and  to  make  him  a  name 
and  to  do. great  things  for  you,  and  terrible  things, 
for  thy  land,  before  thv  people,  which  thou  rcdeem- 
edst to  thee  out  of  E'gypt,/rom  the  nations  and  their 

24 gods?  And  thou  didst  establish  to  thyself  thy  peo- 
ple Is'ra-el  to  be  a  people  unto  thee  for  ever;  and 

25  thou,  Lord,  becamest  their  God.  And  now,  O  Lord 
God,  the  word  that  thou  hast  spoken  concerning  thy 
servant,  and  concerning  his  house,  confirm  thou  it 

26  for  ever,  and  do  as  thou  hast  spoken.  And  let  thy 
name  be  magnified  for  ever,  saying,  The  Lord  of 
hosts  is  God  over  Is'ra-el :  and  the  house  of  thy  serv- 

27  ant  Da'vid  shall  be  established  before  thee.  For 
thou,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-cl,  hast  re- 
vealed to  thy  servant,  saying,  I  will  build  thee  an 
house  :  therefore  hath  thy  servant  ^found  in  his  heart 

28  to  pray  this  prayer  unto  thee.  And  now,  O  Lord 
God,  thou  art  God,  and  thy  words  are  truth,  and 
thou  hast  promised  this  good  thing  unto  thy  serv- 

29  ant :    now  therefore  ''let  it  please  thee  to  bless  the 
house  of  thy  servant,  that  it  may  continue  for  ever 
before  thee:  for  thou,  O  Lord  God,  hast  spoken  it 
and  with  thy  blessing  let  the  house  of  thy  servant 
be  blessed  for  ever. 

O  'And  after  this  it  came  to  pass,  that  Da'vid  smote 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  subdued  them :  and  Da'vid  took 
*the  bridle  of  the  mother  city  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
2  Phi-lis'tines.  And  he  smote  Mo'ab,  and  measured 
them  with  the  line,  making  them  to  lie  down  on  the 
ground ;  and  he  measured  two  lines  to  put  to  death, 
and  one  full  line  to  keep  alive.  And  the  Mo'ab-ites 
became  servants  to  Da  vid,  and  brought  presents. 
3  Da'vid  smote  also  Had-ad-e'zer  the  son  of  Re'hob,  king 
of  Zo'bah,  as  he  went  to  recover  his  dominion  at  'the 

4  River.  And  Da'vid  took  from  him  a  thousand  and 
seven  hundred  horsemen,  and  twenty  thousand  foot- 
men :  and  Da'vid  houghed  all  the  chariot  horses,  but 

5  reserved  of  them  for  an  hundred  chariots.  And  when 
*the  Syr'i-ans  of  Da-mas'cus  came  to  succour  Had-ad-e'zer 
king  of  Zo'bah,  Da'vid  smote  of  *the  Syr'i-ans  two  and 

6  twenty  thousand  men.  Then  Da'vid  put  garrisons 
in  *Sy r'i-a  of  Da-mas'cus :  an  d  "the  Syr'i-ans  became  serv- 
ants to  Da'vid,  and  brought  pi-esents.    And  the  Lord 

7  'gave  victory  to  Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went.  And 
Da'vid  took  the  shields  of  gold  that  were  on  the  serv- 
ants of  Had-ad-e'zer,  and  brought  them  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.

8  And  from  ||  Be'tah,  and  from  ||  Ber'o-thai,  cities  of  Had- 
ad-e'zer,  king  Da'vid  took  exceeding  much  brass. 

9  IfWhen  ||  To'i  king  of  Ha'math  heard  that  Da'vid  had 
smitten  all  the  hosts  of  Had-ad-e'zer, 

10  Then  To'i  sent  "'Jo'ram  his  son  unto  king  Da'vid,  to 
fsalute  him,  and  to  bless  him,  because  he  had  fought 
against  Had-ad-e'zer,  and  smitten  him :  for  Had-ad-e'zer  fhad 
wars  with  To'i.  And  Jo'ram  fbrought  with  him  vessels 
of  silver,  and  vessels  of  gold,  and  vessels  of  brass : 

11  Which  also  king  Da'vid  "did  dedicate  unto  the  Lord, 
with  the  silver  and  gold  that  he  had  dedicated  of  all  nations 
which  he  subdued ; 

12  Of  Syr'i-a,andofMo'ab,  and  of  the  children  of  Am'mon, 
and  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  of  Am'a-lek,  and  of  the  spoil  of

13  And  Da'vid  gat  him  a  name  when  be  returned  from 
fsmiting  of  the  Syr'i-ans  in  "the  valley  of  salt,  "H  being 
eighteen  thousand  men. 

14  ^ And  he  put  garrisons  in  E'dom;  throughout  all  E'dom 
put  he  garrisons,  and  "all  they  of  E'dom  became  Da'vid's  serv- 
ants.  ""And  the  LoED  preserved  Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went. 

15  And  Da'vid  reigned  over  all  Is'ra-el;  and  Da'vid  exe- 
cuted judgment  and  justice  unto  all  his  people. 

16  'And  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  toas  over  the  host;  and 
'Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  A-hi'lud  was  ||  i  corder;

chief  rulers. 

CHAPTER   IX. 

David  by  Ziba  sendeth  for  Mephiboshetk. 

AND  Da'vid  said,  Is  there  yet  any  that  is  left  of  the  house 
ofSaul,that  I  may''she  whim  kindness  for  Jon'a-than'ssake? 

2  And  ihere  was  of  the  house  of  Saul  a  servant  whose  name 
was 'Zi'ba.  Andwhen  they  had  called  him  unto  David, theking 
said  unto  him.  Art  thou  Zi'ba?    And  he  said,  Thy  servantis Ae. 

3  And  the  king  said.  Is  there  not  yet  any  of  the  house  of 
Saul,  that  I  may  shew  ""the  kindness  of  God  unto  him? 
And  Zi'ba  said  unto  the  king,  Jon'a-than  hath  yet  a  son,  icMeli 
is  ''lame  on  Ms  ieet. 

4  And  the  king  said  unto  him.  Where  w  he  ?  And  Zi'ba 
said  unto  the  king.  Behold,  he  is  in  the  house  of  'Ma'chir, 
the  son  of  Am'mi-el,  in  Lo-de'bar. 

5  'TJThen  king  Da'vid  sent,  and  fetched  him  out  of  the 
house  of  Ma'chir,  the  son  of  Am'mi-el,  from  Lo-de'bar. 

6  Now  when  ||  Me-phib'o-sheth,  the  son  of  Jon'a-than,  the 
son  of  Saul,  was  come  unto  Da'vid,  he  fell  on  his  face,  and 
did  reverence.  And  Da'vid  said,  Me-phib'o-sheth.  And  he 
answered.  Behold  thy  servant ! 

7  ^And  Da'vid  said  un^o  him,  Fear  not:  -^for  I  will  surely 
shew  thee  kindness  for  Jon'a-than  thy  father's  sake,  and  will 
restore  thee  all  the  land  of  Saul  thy  father ;  and  thou  shalt 
eat  bread  at  my  table  continually. 

8  And  he  bowed  himself,  and  said.  What  is  thy  servant, 
that  thou  shouldest  look  upon  such  "a  dead  dog  as  I  amf 

9  ^Then  the  king  called  to  Zi'ba,  Saul's  servant,  and  said 
unto  him,  ''I  have  given  unto  thy  master's  son  all  that  per- 
tained to  Saul  and  to  all  his  house. 

10  Thou  therefore,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  servants,  shall 
till  the  land  for  him,  and  thou  shalt  bring  in  the  fruits  that 
thy  master's  son  may  have  food  to  eat :  but  Me-phib'o-sheth 
thy  master's  son  'shall  eat  bread  alway  at  my  table.  Now 
Zi'ba  had  'fifteen  sons  and  twenty  servants. 

11  Then  said  Zi'ba  unto  the  king,  According  to  all  that  my 
lord  the  king  hath  commanded  his  servant,  so  shall  thy 
servant  do.  As  for  Me-phib'o-.sheth,  said  the  king,  he  shall 
eat  at  my  table,  as  one  of  the  king's  sons. 

12  And   Me-phib'o-sheth  had  a  young  son,  'whose  name 


8  And  from  'Be'tah  and  from  Ber'o-thai,  cities  of  Had- 

9  ad-e'zer,  king  Da'vid  took  exceeding  much  brass.  And 
when  To'i  king  of  Ha'math  heard  that  Da'vid  had 

lOsmitten  all  thehost  of  Had'ad-e'zer,then  To'i  sent^Jo'- 
ram  his  son  unto  king  Da'vid,  to  'salute  him,  and  to 
bless  him,  because  he  had  fought  against  Had-ad-e'zer 
and  smitten  him:  for  Had-ad-e'zer  *had  wars  with  To'i. 
And  ^Jo'ram  brought  with  him  vessels  of  silver,  and 

11  vessels  of  gold,  and  vessels  of  brass:  these  also  did 
king  Da'vid  dedicate  unto  the  Lord,  with  the  silver 
and  gold  that  he  dedicated  of  all  the  nations  which 

12  he  subdued ;  of 'Syr'i-a,  and  of  Mo'ab,  and  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon,  and  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  of  Am'- 
a-lek, and  of  the  spoil  of  Had-ad-e'zer,  son  of  Re'hob, 

13  king  of  Zo'bah.  And  Da'vid  gat  him  a  name  when  he 
returned  from  smiting  of  Hhe  Syr'i-ans  in  the  Valley 

14  of  Salt,  even  eighteen  thousand  men.  And  he  put 
garrisons  in  E'dom ;  throughout  all  E'dom  put  he 
garrisons,  and  all  the  E'dom-ites  became  servants 
to  Da'vid.  And  the  Lord  "gave  victory  to  Da'vid 
whithersoever  he  went. 

16  And  Da'vid  reigned  over  all  Is'ra-el;  and  Da'vid 
executed  judgement  and  justice  unto  all  his  people. 

16  And  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  was  over  the  host ;  and 

17  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  A-hi'lud  was 'recorder :  and 
Za'dok  the  son  A-hi'tub,  and  A-him'e-lech  the  son 
of  A-bi'a-thar,  were  priests;  and  Ser-a-i'ah  was 'scribe ;

Cher'etl  -ites  and  the  Pe'leth-ites ;  and  Da'vid's  sons 
were  "priests. 

V  And  Da'vid  said.  Is  there  yet  any  that  is  left  of 
the   house  of  Saul,  that  I  may  shew  him  kindness 

2  for  Jon'a-than's  sake  ?  And  there  was  of  the  house 
of  Saul  a  servant  whose  name  was  Zi'ba,  and  they 
called  him  unto  Da'vid;  and  the  king  said  unto  him. 
Art  thou  Zi'ba?     And  he  said.  Thy  servant  is  he. 

3  And  the  king  said.  Is  there  not  yet  any  of  the  house 
of  Saul,  that  I  may  shew  the  kindness  of  God  unto 
him  ?    And  Zi'ba  said  unto  the  king,  '^Jon'a-than  hath 

4  yet  a  son,  which  is  lame  on  his  feet.  And  the  king 
said  unto  him.  Where  is  he?  And  Zi'ba  said  unto 
the  king.  Behold,  he  is  in  the  house  of  Ma'chir  the 

5  son  of  Am'mi-el,  in  Lo-de'bar.  Then  king  Da'vid 
sent,  and  fetched  him  out  of  the  house  of  Ma'chir 

6  the  son  of  Am'mi-el,  from  Lo-de'bar.  And  Me-phib'- 
o-sheth, the  son  of  Jon'a-than,  the  son  of  Saul,  came 
unto  Da'vid,  and  fell  on  his  face,  and  did  obeisance. 
And  Da'vid  said,  Me-phib'o-sheth.    Andheanswered, 

7  Behold  thy  servant !  And  Da'vid  said  unto  him.  Fear 
not:  for  I  will  surely  shew  thee  kindness  for  Jon'a- 
than  thy  father's  sake,  and  will  restore  thee  all  the 
"land  of  Saul  thy  father;  and  thou  shalt  eat  bread  at 

8  my  table  continually.  And  he  did  obeisance,  and 
said.  What  is  thy  servant,  that  thou  shouldest  look 

9  upon  such  a  dead  dog  as  I  am  ?  Then  the  king 
called  to  Zi'ba,  Saul's  servant,  and  said  unto  him.  All 
that  pertained  to  Saul  and  to  all  his  house  have  I 

lOgiven  unto  thy  master's  son.  And  thou  shalt  till  the 
land  for  him,  thou,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  servants ; 
and  thou  shalt  bring  in  thejruits,  that  thy  master's 
son  may  have  bread  to  eat :  but  Me-phib'o-sheth  thy 
master's  son  shall  eat  bread  alway  at  my  table.    Now 

11  Zi'ba  had  fifteen  sons  and  twenty  servants.  Then 
said  Zi'ba  unto  the  king,  According  to  all  that  my 
lord  the  king  commandeth  his  servant,  so  shall  thy 
servant  do.  "As  for  Me-phib'o-sheth,  said  the  king, 
he  shall  eat  at  my  table,  as  one  of  the  king's  sons,

was  Mi'cha.     And  all  that  dwelt  in  the  house  of  Zi'ba  were 
servants  unto  Me-phib'o-sheth. 

1 3  So  Me-phib'o-sheth  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  "for  he  did  eat 
continually  at  the  king's  table ;  and  "was  lame  on  both  his  feet. 
CHAPTER  X. 

David's  messengers  are  sent  to  comfort  Hanun  the  son  of  Nakash, 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  the  "king  of  the  children 
of  Am'mon  died,  and  Ha'nun  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

2  Then  said  Da'vid,  I  will  shew  kindness  unto  Ha'nun  the 
son  of  Na'hash,  as  his  father  shewed  kindness  unto  me. 
And  Da'vid  sent  to  comfort  him  by  the  hand  of  his  servants 
for  his  father.  And  Da'vid's  servants  came  into  the  land  of 
the  children  of  Am'mon. 

3  And  the  princes  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  said  unto 
Ha'nun  their  lord,  fThinkest  thou  that  Da'vid  doth  honour 
thy  father,  that  he  hath  sent  comforters  unto  thee?  hath  not 
Da'vid  rather  sent  his  servants  unto  thee,  cj  search  the  city, 
and  to  spy  it  out,  and  to  overthrow  it  ? 

4  Wherefore  Ha'nun  took  Da'vid's  servants,  and  shaved  off 
the  one  half  of  their  beards,  and  cut  off  their  garments  in 
the  middle,  ^even  to  their  buttocks,  and  sent  them  away. 

6  When  they  told  it  unto  Da'vid,  he  sent  to  meet  them, 
because  the  men  were  greatly  ashamed :  and  the  king  said. 
Tarry  at  Jer'i-cho  until  your  beards  be  grown,  and  <Acn  return. 

6  ^And  when  the  children  of  Am'mon  saw  that  they 
"stank  before  Da'vid,  the  children  of  Am'mon  sent  and  hired 
''the  Syr'i-ans  of  Beth-re'hob,  and  the  Syr'i-ans  of  Zo'ba, 
twenty  thousand  footmen,  and  of  king  Ma'a-cah  a  thousand 

len,  and  of  ||  Ish'-tob  twelve  thousand  men. 

7  And  when  Da'vid  heard  of  it,  he  sent  Jo'ab,  and  all  the 
host  of  'the  mighty  men. 

8  And  the  children  of  Am'mon  came  out,  and  put  the 
battle  in  array  at  the  entering  in  of  the  gate:  and  -the 
Syr'i-ans  of  Zo'ba,  and  of  Re'hob,  and  Ish'-tob,  and  Ma'a- 
cah,  were  by  themselves  in  the  field. 

9  When  Jo'ab  saw  that  the  front  of  the  battle  was  against 
him  before  and  behind,  he  chose  of  all  the  choice  men  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  put  them  in  array  against  the  Syr'i-ans : 

10  And  the  rest  of  the  people  he  delivered  into  the  hand 
of  A-bish'a-i  his  brother,  that  he  might  put  them  in  array 
against  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

11  And  he  said,  If  the  Syr'i-ans  be  too  strong  for  me,  then 
thou  shalt  help  me :  but  if  the  children  of  Am'mon  be  too 
strong  for  thee,  then  I  will  come  and  help  thee. 

12  "Be  of  good  courage,  and  let  us  *play  the  men  for  our 
people,  and  for  the  cities  of  our  God :  and  *the  Lord  do  that 
which  seemeth  him  good. 

13  And  Jo'ab  drew  nigh,  and  the  people  that  were  with 
him,  unto  the  battle  against  the  Syr'i-ans :  and  they  fled 
before  him. 

14  And  when  the  children  of  Am'mon  saw  that  the  Syr'- 
i-ans were  fled,  then  fled  they  also  before  A-bish'a-i,  and 
entered  into  the  city.  So  Jo'ab  returned  from  the  children 
of  Am'mon,  and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  ^And  when  the  Syr'i-ans  saw  that  they  were  smitten 
before  Is'ra-el,  they  gathered  themselves  together. 

16  And  Had-ar-e'zer  sent,  and  brought  out  the  Syr'i-ans  that 
were  beyond  1 1  the  river ;  and  they  came  to  He'lam :  and  1 1  Sho'- 
bach  the  captain  of  the  host  of  Had-ar-e'zer  went  before  them. 

17  And  when  it  was  told  Da'vid,  he  gathered  all  Is'ra-el 
together,  and  passed  over  Jor'dan,  and  came  to  He'lam. 
And  the  Syr'i-ans  set  themselves  in  array  against  Da'vid, 
and  fought  with  him. 

18  And  the  Syr'i-ans  fled  before  Is'ra-el ;  and  Da'vid  slew 
the  men  of  seven  hundred  chariots  of  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  forty 
thousand  ^horsemen,  and  smote  Sho'bach  the  captain  of 
their  host,  who  died  there. 

19  And  when  all  the  kings  that  were  servants  to  Had-ar- 
e'zer  saw  that  they  were  smitten  before  Is'ra-el,  they  made 


was  Mi'ca.     And  all  that  dwelt  in  the  house  of  Zi'ba 
13  were  servants  unto  Me-phib'o-sheth.     So  Me-phib'o 
sheth  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  he  did  eat  continually 
at  the  king's  table ;  and  he  was  lame  on  both  his  feet. 

J-v  'And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  the  king  of 
the  children  of  Am'mon  died,  and  Ha'nun  his  son 

2  reigned  in  his  stead.  And  Da'vid  said,  I  will  shew 
kindness  unto  Ha'nun  the  son  of  Na'hash,  as  his 
father  shewed  kindness  unto  me.  So  Da'vid  sent  by 
the  hand  of  his  servants  to  comfort  him  concerning 
his  father.     And  Da'vid's    servants   came  into  the 

3  land  of  the  children  of  Am'mon.  But  the  princes  of 
the  children  of  Am'mon  said  unto  Ha'nun  their  lord, 
Thinkest  thou  that  Da'vid  doth  honour  thy  father, 
that  he  hath  sent  comforters  unto  thee?  hath  not 
Da'vid  sent  his  servants  unto  thee  to  search  the  city, 

4 and  to  spy  it  out,  and  to  overthrow  it?  So  Ha'nun 
took  David's  servants,  and  shaved  off  the  one  half  of 
their  beards,  and  cut  off  their  garments  in  the  middle, 

5  even  to  their  buttocks,  and  sent  them  away.  When 
they  told  it  unto  Da'vid,  he  sent  to  meet  them ;  for 
the  men  were  greatly  ashamed.  And  the  king  said. 
Tarry  at  Jer'i-cho  until  your  beards  be  grown,  and 

6  then  return.  And  when  the  children  of  Am'mon 
saw  that  they  were  become  odious  to  Da'vid,  the 
children  of  Am'mon  sent  and  hired  the  Syr'i-ans  of 
Beth-re'hob,  and  the  Syr'i-ans  of  Zo'bah,  twenty  thou- 
sand footmen,  and  the  king  of  Ma'a-cah  with  a  thou- 
sand men,  and  the  men  of  Tob  twelve  thousand  men. 

7  And  when  Da'vid  heard  of  it,  he  sent  Jo'ab,  and  all 

8  the  host  of  the  mighty  men.  And  the  children  of 
Am'mon  came  out,  and  put  the  battle  in  array  at  the 
entering  in  of  the  gate :  and  the  Syr'i-ans  of  Zo'bah, 
and   of  Ee'hob,  and  the  men  of  Tob  and  Ma'a-cah, 

9  were  by  themselves  in  the  field.  Now  when  Jo'ab 
saw  that  ^the  battle  was  set  against  him  before  and 
behind,  he  chose  of  all  the  choice  men  of  Is'ra-el,  and 

10 put  them  in  array  against  the  Syr'i-ans:  and  the  rest 
of  the  people  he  committed  into  the  hand  of 
'A-bish'a-i  his  brother,  and  he,. put  them  in  array 

11  against  the  children  of  Am'mon.  And  he  said.  If 
the  Syr'i-ans  be  too  strong  for  me,  then  thou  shalt 
help   me :  but  if  the   children  of   Am'mon  be  too 

12  strong  for  thee,  then  I  will  come  and  help  thee.  Be 
of  good  courage,  and  let  us  play  the  men  for  our 
people,  and  for  the  cities  of  our  God :  and  the  Lord 

13  do  that  which  seemeth  him  good.  So  Jo'ab  and  the 
people  that  were  with  him  drew  nigh  unto  the  battle 

14  against  the  Syr'i-ans :  and  they  fled  before  him.  And 
when  the  children  of  Am'mon  saw  that  the  Syr'i-ans 
were  fled,  they  likewise  fled  before  A-bish'a-i,  and 
entered  into  the  city.     Then  Jo'ab  returned  from  the 

15  children  of  Am'mon,  and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
when  the  Syr'i-ans  saw  that  they  were  put  to  the 
worse  before  Is'ra-el,  they  gathered  themselves  to- 

16  gether.  And  'Had-ar-e'zer  sent,  and  brought  out  the 
Syr'i-ans  that  were  beyond  the  River :  and  they  came 
to  He'lam,  with  Sho'bach  the  captain  of  the  host  of 

17  Had-ar-e'zer  at  their  head.  And  it  was  toid  Da'vid ; 
and  he  gathered  all  Is'ra-el  together,  and  passed  over 
Jor'dan,  and  came  to  He'lam.  And  the  Syr'i-ans  set 
themselves  in  array  against  Da'vid,  and  fought  with 

18  him.  And  the  Syr'i-ans  fled  before  Is'ra-el;  and  Da'vid 
slew  of  the  Syr'i-ans  the  men  o/ seven  hundred  chariots, 
and  forty  thousand  horsemen,  and  smote  Sho'bach  the 

19  captain  of  their  host,  that  he  died  there.  And  when 
all  the  kings  that  were  servants  toHad-ar-e'zer  saw  that 
they  were  put  to  the  worse  before  Is'ra-el,  they  made

CHAPTER   XI. 

While  Joab  beuegeth  Rabbah  David  commttteth  adultery  with  Bath-sheba. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  fafter  the  year  was  expired,  at 
the  time  when  kings  go  forth  to  battle,  that  "Da'vid  sent 
Jo'ab,  and  his  servants  with  him,  and  all  Is'ra-el;  and  they 
destroyed  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  besieged  Rab'bah. 
But  Da'vid  tarried  still  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  T[And  it  came  to  pass  in  an  eveningtide,  that  Da'vid 
arose  from  off  his  bed,  *and  walked  upon  the  roof  of  the 
king's  house:  and  from  the  roof  he  ''saw  a  woman  washing 
herseF;  and  the  woman  loas  very  beautiful  to  look  upon. 

3  And  Da'vid  sent  and  inquired  after  the  woman.  And 
one  said.  Is  not  this  ||Bath'-she-ba,  the  daughter  of  ||E-li'am, 
the  wife  ''of  U-ri'ah  the  Ilit'tite  ? 

4  And  Da'vid  sent  messengers,  and  took  her;  and  she  came 
in  unto  him,  and  ''he  lay  with  her ;  ||  for  she  was  •'^purified 
from  her  uncleanness :  and  she  returned  unto  her  house. 

5  And  the  woman  conceived,  and  sent  and  told  Da'vid,  and 
said,  I  am  with  child. 

6  ifAnd  Da'vid  sent  to  Jo'ab,  saying,  Send  me  U-ri'ah  the 
Hit'tite.     And  Jo'ab  sent  U-ri'ah  to  Da'vid. 

7  And  when  U-ri'ah  was  come  unto  him,  Da'vid  demanded 
of  Jam  fhow  Jo'ab  did,  and  how  the  people  did,  and  how 
the  war  prospered. 

8  And  Da'vid  said  to  U-ri'ah,  Go  down  to  thy  house,  and 
"wash  thy  feet.  And  U-ri'ah  departed  out  of  the  king's  house, 
and  there  ffollowed  him  a  mess  of  meat  from  the  king. 

9  But  U-ri'ah  slept  at  the  door  of  the  king's  house  with  all 
the  servants  of  his  lord,  and  went  not  down  to  his  house. 

10  And  when  they  had  told  Da'vid,  saying,  U-ri'ah  went  not 
down  unto  his  house,  Da'vid  said  unto  U-ri'ah,  Camcst  thou 
not  from  thy  journey?  why  then  didst  thou  not  go  down 
unto  thine  house? 

11  And  U-ri'ah  said  unto  Da'vid, ''The  ark,  and  Is'ra-el,  and 
Ju'dah,  abide  in  tents ;  and  'my  lord  Jo'ab,  and  the  servants 
of  my  lord  are  encamped  in  the  open  fields ;  shall  I  then  go 
into  mine  house,  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  to  lie  with  my  wife  ? 
As  thou  livest,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  do  this  thing. 

12  And  Da'vid  said  to  U-ri'ah,  Tarry  here  to-day  also,  and 
to-morrow  I  will  let  thee  depart.  So  U-ri'ah  abode  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem that  dav,  and  the  morrow. 

13  And  when  David  had  called  him,  he  did  eat  and  drink 
before  him ;  and  he  made  him  *'drunk :  and  at  even  he  went 
out  to  lie  on  his  bed  'with  the  servants  of  his  lord,  but  went 
not  down  to  his  house. 

1-t  T[And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning,  that  Da'vid 
""wrote  a  letter  to  Jo'ab,  and  sent  it  by  the  hand  of  U-ri'ah. 

15  And  he  wrote  in  the  letter,  saying.  Set  ye  U-ri'ah  in  the 
forefront  of  the  fhottest  battle,  and  retire  ye  tfr^m  him,  that 
he  may  "be  smitten,  and  die. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jo'ab  observed  the  city,  that 
he  assigned  U-ri'ah  unto  a  place  where  he  knew  that  valiant 
men  ivere. 

17  And  the  men  of  the  city  went  out,  and  fought  with 
Jo'ab:  ani  there  fell  some  of  the  people  of  the  servants  of 
Da'vid;  and  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite  died  also. 

18  TfThen  Jo'ab  sent  and  told  Da'vid  all  the  things  con- 
cerning the  war ; 

19  And  charged  the  messenger,  saying.  When  thou  hast 
made  an  end  of  telling  the  matters  of  the  war  unto  the  king, 

20  And  if  S5  be  that  the  king's  wrath  arise,  and  he  say 
unto  thee,  Wherefore  approached  ye  so  nigh  unto  the  city 
when  ye  did  fight?  knew  ye  not  that  they  would  shoot 
from  the  wall  ? 

21  Who  smote  "^A-bim'e-lech  the  sou  of  ^Je-rub'be-sheth  ? 
did  not  a  woman  cast  a  piece  of  millstone  upon  him  from 
the   wall   that  he  died  in  The'bez?  why  went  ye   nigh  the 


peace  with  Is'ra-el,  and  served  them.  So  the  Syr'i-ans 
feared  to  help  the  children  of  Am'mon  any  more. 

I  1      'And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  return  of  the  year, 

at  the  time  when  kings  go  out  to  battle,  that 
Da'vid  sent  Jo'ab,  and  his  servant-,  with  him,  and 
all  Is'ra-el;  and  they  destroyed  the  children  of  Am'- 
mon, and  besieged  Rab'bah.  But  Da'vid  tarried  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  at  eventide,  that  Da'vid 
arose  from  off  his  bed,  and  walked  upon  the 
roof  of  the  king's  house:  and  from  the  roof  he  saw 
a  woman  bathing;  and  the  woman  was  very  beauti- 

3  ful  to  look  upon.  And  Da'vid  sent  and  inquired 
after  the  woman.  And  one  said.  Is  not  this  Bath'- 
she-ba,  the  daughter  of  E-li'am,  the  wife  of  U-ri'ah  the 

4  Hit'tite?  And  Da'vid  sent  messengers,  and  took  her; 
and  she  came  in  unto  him,  and  he  laj'  with  her;  (for 
she  was  purified  from  her  uncleanness;)  and  she  re- 

5  turned  unto  her  house.  And  the  woman  conceived ; 
and  she  seut  and  told  Da'vid,  and  said,  I  am  with 

6  child.  And  Da'vid  sent  to  Jo'ab,  saying,  Send  me 
U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite.    And  Jo'ab  sent  U-ri'ah  to  Da'vid. 

7  And  when  U-ri'ah  was  come  Unto  him,  Da'vid  asked 
of  him  how  Jo'ab  did,  and  how  the  people  fared,  and 

8  how  the  war  prospered.  And  Da'vid  said  to  U-ri'ah, 
Go  down  to  thy  house,  and  wash  thy  feet.  And 
U-ri'ah  departed  out  of  the  king's  house,  and  there 

9  followed  him  a  ^mess  of  meat  from  the  king.  But 
U-ri'ah  slept  at  the  door  of  the  king's  house  with  all 
the  servants  of  his  lord,  and  went  not  down  to  his 

10  house.  And  when  they  had  told  Da'vid,  saying, 
U-ri'ah  went  not  down  unto  his  house,  Da'vid  said 
unto  U-ri'ah,  Art  thou  not  come  from  a  journey  ? 
wherefore  didst  thou  not  go  down  unto  thine  house  ? 

II  And  U-ri'ah  said  unto  Da'vid,  The  ark,  and  Is'ra-el, 
and  Ju'dah,  abide  in  booths;  and  my  lord  Jo'ab,  and 
the  servants  of  my  lord,  are  encamped  in  the  open 
field;  shall  I  then  go  into  mine  house,  to  eat  and  to 
drink,  and  to  lie  with  my  wife?  as  thou  livest,  and 

12  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  do  this  thing.  And 
Da'vid  said  to  U-ri'ah,  Tarry  here  to-day  also,  and  to- 
morrow I  will  let  thee  depart.     So  U-ri'ah  abode  in 

13  Je-ru'sa-lem  'that  day,  and  the  morrow.  x\nd  when 
Da'vid  had  called  him,  he  did  eat  and  drink  before 
him ;  and  he  made  him  drunk  :  and  at  even  he  went 
out  to  lie  on  his  bed  with  the  servants  of  his  lord, 

14  but  went  not  down  to  his  house.  And  it  came  to 
pass  in  the   morning,   that    David  wrote  a  letter  to 

15  Jo'ab,  and  sent  it  by  the  hand  of  U-ri'ah.  And  he 
wrote  in  the  letter,  saying.  Set  ye  U-ri'ah  in  the  fore- 
front of  the  ^hottest  baitle,  and  retire  ye  from  him, 

16  that  he  may  be  smitten,  and  die.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  Jo'ab  ^kept  watch  upon  the  city,  that  he 
assigned  U-ri'ah  unto  the  place  where  he  knew  that 

17  valiant  men  were.  And  the  men  of  the  city  went 
out,  and  fought  with  Jo'ab :  and  there  fell  some  of 
the  people,  even  of  the  servants  of  Da'vid ;  and  U-ri'ah 

18  the   Hit'tite  died   also.     Then    Jo'ab   sent   and   told 

19  Da'vid  all  the  tnings  concerning  the  war ;  and  he 
c';arged  the  messenger,  saying,  W^hen  thou  hast 
made  an  end  of  telling  all  the  things  concerning  the 

20  war  unto  the  king,  it  shall  be  that,  if  the  king's 
wrath  arise,  and  he  say  unto  thee.  Wherefore  went 
ye  so  nigh  unto  the  city  to  fight?  knew  ye  not  that 

21  they  would  shoot  from  the  wall?  who  smote  A-bim'e- 
lech  the  son  of  'Je-rub'be-sheth  ?  did  not  a  woman 
cast  an  upper  millstone  upon  him  from  the  wall, 
that  he  died  at  The'bez ;  why  went  ye  so  nigh  the

wall?    Then  say  thou,  Thy  servant  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite  is 
dead  also. 

22  ^So  the  messenger  went,  and  came  and  shewed  Da'vid 
all  that  Jo'ab  had  sent  him  for. 

23  And  the  messenger  said  unto  Da'vid,  Surely  the  men 
prevailed  against  us,  and  came  out  unto  us  into  the  iield,  and 
we  were  upon  them  even  unto  the  entering  of  the  gate. 

24  And  the  shooters  shot  from  off  the  wall  upon  thy  serv- 
ants; and  some  of  the  king's  servants  be  dead,  and  thy 
servant  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite  is  dead  also. 

25  Then  Da'vid  said  unto  the  messenger,Thus  shalt  thou  say 
unto  Jo'ab,  Let  not  this  thing  fdisplease  thee,  for  the  sword  de- 
voureth  fone  as  well  as  another:  make  thy  battle  more  strong 
against  the  city,  and  overthrow  it :  and  encourage  thou  him. 

26  ^And  when  the  wife  of  U-ri'ah  heard  that  U-ri'ah 
her  husband  was  dead,  she  mourned  for  her  husband. 

27  And  when  the  mourning  was  past,  Da'vid  sent  and  fetched 
her  to  his  house,  and  she  "became  his  wife,  and  bare  him  a 
son.  But  the  thing  that  Da'vid  had  done  fdispleased  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

JVathan's  parable  of  the  ewe-lamb  causeth  David  to  be  his  own  judge. 

AND  the  Lord  sent  Na'than  unto  Da'vid.    And  "he  came 
unto  him,  and  'said  unto  him,  There  were  two  men  in 
one  city;  the  one  rich,  and  the  other  poor. 

2  The  rich  man  had  exceeding  many  flocks  and  herds : 

3  But  the  poor  man  had  nothing,  save  one  little  ewe  lamb, 
which  he  had  bought  and  nourished  up :  and  it  grew  up  to- 
gether with  him,  and  with  his  children;  it  did  eat  of  his 
own  fmeat,  and  drank  of  his  own  cup,  and  lay  in  his 
bosom,  and  was  unto  him  as  a  daughter. 

4  And  there  came  a  traveller  unto  the  rich  man, and  he  spared 
to  take  of  his  own  flock  and  of  his  own  herd,  to  dre.ss  for 
the  wayfaring  man  that  was  come  unto  him;  buttock  the  poor 
man's  lamb,  and  dressed  it  for  the  man  that  was  come  to  him. 

5  And  Da'vid's  anger  was  greatly  kindled  against  the  man; 
and  he  said  to  Na'than,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  the  man  that  hath 
done  this  thing  ||  shall  surely  die. 

6  And  he  shall  restore  the  lamb  "fourfold,  because  he  did 
this  thing,  and  because  he  had  no  pity. 

7  ^And  Na'than  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  ar<  the  man.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  ''anointed  thee  king  over 
Is'ra-el.  and  I  delivered  thee  out  of  the  hand  of  Saul: 

8  An„  I  gave  thee  thy  master's  house,  and  thy  master's 
wives  into  thy  bosom,  and  gave  thee  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and 
of  Ju'dah  ;  and  if  that  had  been  too  little,  I  would  mor^iver 
have  given  unto  thee  such  and  such  things. 

9  'Wherefore  hast  thou  -^despised  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord,  to  do  evil  in  his  sight?  "thou  hast  killed  U-ri'ah 
the  Hit'tite  with  the  sword,  and  hast  taken  his  wife  to  be 
thy  wife,  and  hast  slain  him  with  the  sword  of  the  children 
of  Am'mon. 

10  Now  therefore  'the  sword  shall  never  depart  from  thine 
house;  because  thou  hast  despised  me,  and  hast  taken  the 
wife  of  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite  to  be  thy  wife. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  Avill  raise  up  evil 
against  thee  out  of  thine  own  house,  and  I  will  'take  thy 
wives  before  thine  eyes,  and  give  them  unto  thy  neighbour, 
and  he  shall  lie  with  thy  wives  in  the  sight  of  this  sun. 

12  For  thou  didst  it  secretly :  *but  I  will  do  this  thing 
before  all  Is'ra-el,  and  before  the  sun. 

13  'And  Da'vid  said  unto  Na'than,  "I  have  sinned  against 
the  Lord.  And  Na'than  said  unto  Da'vid,  The  Lord  also 
hath  "put  away  thy  sin ;  thou  shalt  not  die. 

14  Howbeit,  because  by  this  deed  thou  hast  given  great 
occasion  to  the  enemies  of  the  Lord  "to  blaspheme,  the 
child  also  that  is  born  unto  thee  shall  surely  die. 

15  *|yAnd  Na'than  departed  unto  his  house.  And  the 
Lord  struck  the  child  that  U-ri'ah's  wife  bare  unto  Da'vid, 
and  it  was  very  sick. 


wall  ?  then  shalt  thou  say , Thy  servant  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'- 
22tite  is  dead  also.     So  the  messenger  went,  and  came 

23  and  shewed  Da'vid  all  that  Jo'ab  had  sent  him  for.  And 
the  messenger  said  unto  Da'vid,  The  men  prevailed 
against  us,  and  came  out  unto  us  into  the  field,  and  we 
were  upon  them  even  unto  the  entering  of  the  gate. 

24  And  the  shooters  shot  at  thy  servants  from  off  the 
wall ;  and  some  of  the  king's  servants  be  dead,  and  thy 

25  servant  U-ri'ah  the  Hif  tite  is  dead  also.  Then  Da'vid 
said  unto  the  messenger,  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto 
Jo'ab,  Let  not  this  thing  displease  thee,  for  the  sword 
devoureth  one  as  well  as  another:  make  thy  battle 
more  strong  against  the  city,  and  overthrow  it:  and  en- 

26  courage  thou  him.  And  when  the  wife  of  U-ri'ah  heard 
that  U-ri'ah  her  husband  was  dead,  she  made  lamen- 

27  tation  for  her  husband.  And  when  the  mourning 
was  past,  Da'vid  sent  and  took  her  home  to  his  house, 
and  she  became  his  wife,  and  bare  him  a  son.  But 
the  thing  that  Da'vid  had  done  displeased  the  Lord. 

+>^  And  the  Lord  sent  Na'than  unto  Da'vid.  And  he 
came  unto  him,  and  said  unto  him.  There  were  two 
men  in. one  city;    the  one  rich,  and  the  other  poor. 

2  The  rich  man  had  exceeding  many  flocks  and  herds : 

3  but  the  poor  man  had  nothing,  save  one  little  ewe 
lamb,  which  he  had  bought  and  nourished  up:  and 
it  grew  up  together  with  him,  and  with  his  children; 
it  did  eat  of  his  own  morsel,  and  drank  of  his 
own  cup,  and  lay  in  his  bosom,  and  was  unto  him  as 

4  a  daughter.  And  there  came  a  traveller  unto  the 
rich  man,  and  he  spared  to  take  of  his  own  flock  and 
of  his  own  herd,  to  dress  for  the  wayfaring  man  that 
was  come  unto  him,  but  took  the  poor  man's  lamb, 
and  dressed  it  for  the  man  that  was  come  to  him. 

5  And  Da'vid's  anger  was  greatly  kindled  against  the 
man ;  and  he  said  to  Na'than,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 

6  the  man  that  hath  done  this  is  'worthy  to  die :  and 
he  shall  restore  the  lamb  fourfold,  because  he  did 
this  thing,  and  because  he  had  no  pity. 

7  And  Na'than  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  art  the  man. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  anointed 
thee  king  over  Is'ra-el ;  and  I  delivered  thee  out  of  the 

8  hand  of  Saul ;  and  I  gave  thee  thy  master's  house, 
and  thy  master's  wives  into  thy  bosom,  and  gave  thee 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  of  Ju'dah ;  and  if  that  had 
been  too  little,  I  would  have  added  unto  thee  such 

9  and  such  things.  AVherefore  hast  thou  despised  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  to  do  that  which  is  evil  in  his 
sight?  thou  ha.st  .smitten  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite  with  the 
sword,  and  hast  taken  his  wife  to  be  thy  wife,  and 
hast  slain  him  with  the  sword  of  the  children  of  Am'- 

10  mon.  Now  therefore,  the  sword  shall  never  depart 
from  thine  house ;  because  thou  hast  despised  me, 
and  hast  taken  the  wife  of  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite  to  be 

11  thy  wife.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  raise  up 
evil  against  thee  out  of  thine  own  house,  and  I  will 
take  thy  wives  before  thine  eyes,  and  give  them  unto 
thy  neighbour,  and  he  shall  lie  with  thy  wives  in 

12  the  sight  of  this  sun.  For  thou  didst  it  secretly:  but 
I  will  do  this  thing  before  all  Is'ra-el,  and  before  the 

13  sun.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Na'than,  I  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord.  And  Na'than  said  unto  Da'vid, 
The  Lord  also  hath  put  away  thy  sin ;  thou  shalt  not 

14  die.  Howbeit,  because  by  this  deed  thou  hast  given 
great  occasion  to  the  enemies  of  the  Lord  to  blas- 
pheme, the  child  also  that  is  born  unto  thee  shall 

15  surely  die.     And  Na'than  departed  unto  his  house. 

And  the   Lord   struck   the   child  that  U-ri'ah's 
wife    bare    unto    Da'vid,   and    it    was   very    sick.

16  Da^vid  tiierefbre  besougnt  God  for  the  child;  and  Da'- 
vid  ffasted,  and  went  in,  and  "lay  all  night  upon  the  earth. 

17  And  the  elders  of  his  house  arose,  and  went  to  him,  to 
raise  him  up  from  the  earth :  but  he  would  not,  neither  did 
he  eat  bread  with  them. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day,  that  the  child 
died.  And  the  servants  of  Da'vid  feared  to  tell  him  that 
the  child  was  dead :  for  they  said.  Behold,  while  the  child 
was  yet  alive,  we  spake  unto  him,  and  he  would  not  hearken 
unto  our  voice:  how  will  he  then  fvex  himself,  if  we  tell 
him  that  the  child  is  dead  ? 

19  But  when  Da'vid  saw  that  his  servantswhispered,  Da'vid 
perceived  that  the  child  was  dead :  therefore  Da  vid  said  unto 
ais  ser\'ants.  Is  the  child  dead  ?    And  they  said.  He  is  dead. 

20  Then  Da'vid  arose  from  the  earth,  and  washed,  and 
'anointed  himself,  and  changed  his  apparel,  and  came  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  'worshipped:  then  he  came  to 
his  own  house;  and  when  he  required,  they  set  bread  be- 
fore him,  and  he  did  eat. 

21  Then  said  his  servants  unto  him,  What  thing  is  this 
that  thou  hast  done?  thou  didst  £ist  and  weep  for  the  child 
while  if  teas  alive ;  but  when  the  child  was  dead,  thou  didst 
rise  and  eat  bread. 

22  And  he  said.  While  the  child  was  yet  alive,  I  fasted, 
and  wept:  'for  I  said.  Who  can  tell  whether  God  will  be 
gracious  to  me,  that  the  child  may  live? 

23  But  now  he  is  dead,  wherefore  should  I  fast?  can  I 
bring  him  back  again  ?  I  shall  go  to  him,  but  "he  shall  not 
return  to  me. 

24  T[And  Da'vid  comforted  Bath'-she-ba  his  wife,  and  went 
in  unto  her,  and  lay  with  her:  and  ^she  bare  a  son,  and  "he 
called  his  name  Sol'o-mon:  and  the  Lord  loved  him. 

25  And  he  sent  by  the  hand  of  Na'than  the  prophet ;  and 
he  called  his  name  ||  Jed-i-di'ah,  because  of  the  Lord. 

26  1[And  'Jo'ab  fought  against  "Rab'bah  of  the  children  of 
Am'mon,  and  took  the  royal  city. 

27  And  Jo'ab  sent  messengers  to  Da'vid,  and  said,  I  have 
fought  against  Rab'bah,  and  have  taken  the  city  of  waters. 

28  Now  therefore  gather  the  rest  of  thu  people  together, 
and  encamp  against  the  city,  and  take  it:  lest  I  take  the 
city,  and  fit  be  called  after  my  name. 

29  And  Da'vid  gathered  all  the  people  together,  and  went 
to  Rab'bah,  and  fought  against  it,  and  took  it. 

30  ''And  he  took  their  king's  crown  from  off  his  head,  the 
weight  Avhereof  was  a  talent  of  gold  with  the  precious 
stones :  and  it  was  set  on  Da'vid's  head.  And  he  brought 
forth  the  spoil  of  the  city  fin  great  abundance. 

31  And  he  brought  forth  the  people  that  were  therein, 
and  put  them  under  saws  and  under  harrows  of  iron,  and 
under  axes  of  iron,  and  made  them  pass  through  the 
brickkiln:  and  thus  did  he  unto  all  the  cities  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon.  So  Da'vid  and  all  the  people  returned 
unto  Je-ru'salem. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

Amnon^  feigning  himself  sick,  ravishetk  Tamar. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  "that  Ab'sa-lom  the  son 
of  Da'vid  had  a  fair  sister,  whose  name   was  'Ta'mar ; 
and  Am'non  the  son  of  Da'vid  loved  her. 

2  And  Am'non  was  so  vexed,  that  he  fell  sick  for  his  sister 
Ta'mar ;  for  she  was  a  virgin ;  and  f  Am'non  thought  it  hard 
for  him  to  do  any  thing  to  her. 

3  But  Am'non  had  a  friend,  whose  name  was  Jon'a-dab,  'the 
son  of  Shim'e-ah  Da'vid's  brother:  and  Jon'a-dab  was  a  very 
subtile  man. 

4  And  he  said  unto  him.  Why  art  thou,  being  t\iQ  king's  son, 
flean  ffrora  day  to  day  ?  wilt  thou  not  tell  me  ?  And  Am'non 
said  unto  him,  I  love  Ta'mar,  my  brother  Ab'sa-lom's  sister. 

5  And  Jon'a-dab  said  unto  him,  Lay  thee  down  on  thy  bed, 
and  make  thyself  sick:  and  when  thy  father  coraeth  to  see 


16  Da'vid  therefore  besought  God  for  the  child;  and 
Da'vid  fested,  and  went  in,  and  lay  all  night  upon  the 

17  earth.  And  the  elders  of  his  house  arose,  and  stood 
beside  him,  to  raise  him  up  from  the  earth :  but  he 

18  would  not,  neither  did  he  eat  bread  with  them.  And 
it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh  day,  that  the  child 
died.  And  the  servants  of  Da'vid  feared  to  tell  him 
that  the  child  was  dead :  for  they  said,  Behold,  while 
the  child  was  yet  alive,  we  spake  unto  him,  and  he 
hearkened  not  unto  our  voice:  'how  will  he  then 
vex  himself,  if  we  tell  him  that  the  child  is  dead  ? 

19  But  when  Da'vid  saw  that  his  servants  whispered 
together,  Da'vid  perceived  that  the  child  was  dead : 
and  Da'vid  said  unto  his  servants.  Is  the  child  dead? 

20  And  they  said,  He  is  dead.  Then  Da'vid  arose  from 
the  earth,  and  washed,  and  anointed  himself,  and 
changed  his  apparel;  and  he  came  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  worshipped:  then  he  came  to  his 
own  house;    and  when  he  required  they  set  bread 

21  before  him,  and  he  did  eat.  Then  said  his  servants, 
unto  him.  What  thing  is  this  that  thou  hast  done  ? 
thou  didst  fa.st  and  weep  for  the  child,  while  it  was 
alive;  but  when  the  child  was  dead,  thou  didst  rise 

22 and  eat  bread.  And  he  said.  While  the  child  was 
yet  alive,  I  fasted  and  wept :  for  I  said.  Who  knoweth 
whether  the  Lord  will  not  be  gracious  to  me,  that 

23  the  child  may  live  ?  But  now  he  is  dead,  wherefore 
should  I  fast  ?  can  I  bring  him  back  again  ?     I  shall 

24  go  to  him,  but  he  shall  not  return  to  me.  And  Da'vid 
comforted  Bath'-she-ba  his  wife,  and  went  in  unto  her, 
and  lay  with  her :  and  she  bare  a  son,  and  ^he  called 

25  his  name  Sol'o-mon.  Ahd  the  Lord  loved  him ;  and 
he  sent  by  the  hand  of  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  he 
called  his  name  ^Jed-i-di'ah,  for  the  Lord's  sake. 

26  *Now  Jo'ab  fought  against  Rab'bah  of  the  children 

27  of  Am'mon,  and  took  the  royal  city.  And  Jo'ab  sent 
messengers  to  Da'vid,  and  said,  I  have  fought  against 

28  Rab'bah,  yea,  I  have  taken  the  city  of  waters.  Now 
therefore  gather  the  rest  of  the  people  together,  and 
encamp  against  the  city,  and  take  it :  lest  I  take  the 

29  city,  and  *it  be  called  after  my  name.  And  Da'vid 
gathered  all  the  people  together,  and  went  to  Rab'- 

30  bah,  and  fought  against  it,  and  took  it.  And  he 
took  the  crown  of  "their  king  from  off  his  head;  and 
the  weight  thereof  was  a  talent  of  gold,  and  in  it  were 
precious  stones;  and  it  was  set  on  Da'vid's  head. 
And  he  brought  forth  the  spoil  of  the  city,  exceed- 

31  ing  much.  And  he  brought  forth  the  people  that 
were  therein,  and  put  them  'under  saws,  and  'un- 
der harrows  of  iron,  and  'under  axes  of  iron,  and 
*made  them  pass  through  the  'brickkiln:  and 
thus  did  he  unto  all  the  cities  of  the  children  of 
Am'mon.  And  Da'vid  and  all  the  people  returned 
unto  Je-ru'salem. 

-L^  And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Ab'sa-lom  the  8on 
of  Da'vid  had  a  fair  sister,  whose  name  was  Ta'mar ; 

2  and  Am'non  the  son  of  Da'vid  loved  her.  And  Am'- 
non was  so  vexed  that  he  fell  sick  because  of  his  sis- 
ten  Ta'mar;  for  she  was  a  virgin ;  and  it  seemed  hard 

3  to  Am'non  to  do  any  thing  unto  her.  But  Am'non 
had  a  friend,  whose  name  was  Jon'a-dab,  the  son  of 
Shim'e-ah  Da'vid's  brother :  and  Jon'a-dab  was  a  very 

4  subtil  man.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Why,  O  son  of 
the  king,  art  thou  thus  lean  '"from  day  to  day?  wilt 
thou  not  tell  me  ?    And  Am'non  said  unto  him,  I  love 

6  Ta'mar,my  brother  Ab'sa-lom's  sister.  And  Jon'a-dab 
said  unto  him.  Lay  thee  down  on  thy  bed,  and  feign

thee,  say  unto  him,  I  pray  thee,  let  my  sister  Ta'mar  come, 
and  give  me  meat,  and  dress  the  meat  in  my  sight,  that  I 
may  see  it,  and  eat  it  at  her  hand. 

6  ^So  Am'non  lay  down,  and  made  himself  sick :  and  when 
the  king  was  come  to  see  him,  Am'non  said  unto  the  king, 
I  pray  thee,  let  Ta'mar  my  sister  come,  and  ''make  me  a 
couple  of  cakes  in  my  sight,  that  I  may  eat  at  her  hand. 

7  Then  Da'vid  sent  home  to  Ta'mar,  saying.  Go  now  to 
thy  brother  Am'non's  house,  and  dress  him  meat. 

8  So  Ta'mar  went  to  her  brother  Am'non's  house;  and  he 
was  laid  down.  And  she  took  1 1  flour,  and  kneaded  it,  and 
made  cakes  in  his  sight,  and  did  Isake  the  cakes. 

9  And  she  took  a  pan,  and  poured  them  out  before  him : 
but  he  refused  to  eat.  And  Am'non  said,  "Have  out  all 
men  from  me.     And  they  went  out  every  man  from  him. 

10  And  Am'non  said  unto  Ta'mar,  Bring  the  meat  into  the 
chamber,  that  I  may  eat  of  thine  hand.  And  Ta'mar  took 
the  cakes  which  she  had  made,  and  brought  them  into  the 
chamber  to  Am'non  her  brother. 

11  And  when  she  had  brought  them  unto  him  to  eat, 
he  -^took  hold  of  her,  and  said  unto  her.  Come  lie  with  me, 
my  sister. 

12  And  she  answered  him,  Nay,  my  brother,  do  not  fforce 
me ;  for  "fno  such  thing  ought  to  be  done  in  Is'ra-el :  do  not 
thou  this  '■folly. 

13  And  I,  whither  shall  I  cause  my  shame  to  go?  and  as 
for  thee,  thou  shalt  be  as  one  of  the  fools  in  Is'ra-el.  Now 
therefore,  I  pray  thee,  speak  unto  the  king;  'for  he  will  not 
withhold  me  from  thee. 

14  Howbeit  he  would  not  hearken  unto  her  voice:  but 
being  stronger  than  she,  ^forced  her,  and  lay  with  her. 

15  IJThen  Am'non  hated  her  fexceedingly ;  so  that  the 
hatred  wherewith  he  hated  her  was  greater  than  the  love 
wherewith  he  had  loved  her.  And  Am'non  said  unto  her. 
Arise,  be  gone. 

16  And  she  said  unto  him,  There  is  no  cause :  this  evil  in 
sending  me  away  is  greater  than  the  other  that  thou  didst 
unto  me.     But  he  would  not  hearken  unto  her. 

17  Then  he  called  his  servant  that  ministered  urto  him, 
and  said,  Put  now  this  woman  out  from  me,  and  bolt  the 
door  after  her. 

18  And  she  had  'a  garment  of  divers  colours  upon  her: 
for  with  such  robes  were  the  king's  daughters  that  were 
virgins  apparelled.  Then  his  servant  brought  her  out,  and 
bolted  the  door  after  her. 

19  ^And  Ta'mar  put  ""ashes  on  her  head,  and  rent  her 
garment  of  divers  colours  that  was  on  her,  and  "laid  her 
hand  on  her  head,  and  went  on  crying. 

20  And  Ab'sa-lom  her  brother  said  unto  her, Hath  f  Am'non 
thy  brother  been  with  thee?  but  hold  now  thy  peace,  my 
sister:  he  is  thy  brother;  fregard  not  this  thing.  So  Ta'- 
mar remained  fdesolate  in  her  brother  Ab'sa-lom's  house. 

21  ^But  when  king  Da'vid  heard  of  all  these  things,  he 
was  very  wroth. 

22  ^And  Ab'sa-lom  spake  unto  his  brother  Am'non  "neither 
good  nor  bad :  for  Ab'sa-lom  "hated  Am'non,  because  he  had 
forced  his  sister  Ta'mar. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  after  two  full  years,  that  Ab'sa-lom 
'had  sheepshearers  in  Ba'al-ha'zor,  which  is  beside  E'phra-im : 
and  Ab'sa-lom  invited  all  the  king's  sons. 

24  And  Ab'sa-lom  came  to  the  king,  and  said.  Behold  now, 
thy  servant  hath  sheepshearers;  let  the  king,  I  beseech 
thee,  and  his  servants  go  with  thy  servant. 

25  And  the  king  said  to  Ab'sa-lom,  Nay,  my  son,  let  us 
not  all  now  go,  lest  we  be  chargeable  unto  thee.  And  he 
pressed  him :  howbeit,  he  would  not  go,  but  blessed  him. 

26  Then  said  A'o'.sa-lom,  If  not,  I  pray  thee,  let  my 
brother  Am'non  go  with  us.  And  the  king  said  unto  him. 
Why  should  he  go  with  thee  ? 


thee,  say  unto  him.  Let  my  sister  Ta'mar  come,  I  pray 
thee,  and  give  me  bread  to  eat,  and  dress  the  food  in 
my  sight,  that  I  may  see  it,  and  eat  it  at  her  hand. 

6  So  Am'non  lay  down,  and  feigned  himself  sick  :  and 
when  the  king  was  come  to  see  him,  Am'non  said 
unto  the  king,  Let  my  sister  Ta'mar  come,  I  pray 
thee,  and  make  me  a  couple   of  cakes  in  my   sight, 

7  that  I  may  eat  at  her  hand.  Then  Da'vid  sent  home 
to  Ta'mar,  saying.  Go  now  to  thy  brother  Am'non's 

8  house,  and  dress  him  food.  So  Ta'mar  went  to  her 
brother  Am'non's  house;  and  he  was  laid  down.  And 
she  took  dough,  and  kneaded  it,  and  made  cakes  in 

9  his  sight,  and  did  bake  the  cakes.  And  she  took  the 
pan,  and  poured  them  out  before  him ;  but  he  refused 
to  eat.     And  Am'non  said.  Have  out  all  men  from 

10  me.  And  they  went  out  every  man  from  him.  And 
Am'non  said  unto  Ta'mar,  Bring  the  food  into  the 
chamber,  that  I  may  eat  of  thine  hand.  And  Ta'mar 
took  the  cakes   which  she  had  made,  and  brought 

11  them  into  the  chamber  to  Am'non  her  brother.  And 
when  she  had  brought  them  near  unto  him  to  eat,  he 
took  hold  of  her,  and  said  unto  her,  Come  lie  with  me, 

12  my  sister.  And  she  answered  him.  Nay,  my  brother, 
do  not  'force  me ;  for  no  such  thing  ought  to  be  done 

13 in  Is'ra-el:  do  not  thou  this  folly.  And  I,  whither 
shall  I  carry  my  shame?  and  as  for  tbee,  thou  shalt 
be  as  one  of  the  fools  in  Is'ra-el.  Now  therefore,  I 
pray  thee,  speak  unto  the  king;  for  he  will  not  with- 

14  hold  me  from  thee.  Howbeit  he  would  not  hearken 
unto    her   voice:    but   being  stronger  than  she,  he 

15  forced  her,  and  lay  with  her.  Then  Am'non  hated 
her  with  exceeding  great  hatred;  for  the  hatred 
wherewith  he  hated  her  was  greater  than  the  love 
wherewith  he  had   loved    her.     And   Am'non   said 

16  unto  her.  Arise,  be  gone.  And  she  said  unto  him, 
^Not  so,  because  this  great  wrong  in  putting  me 
forth  is  worse  than  the  other  that  thou  didst  unto 

17 me.  But  he  wot -l  not  hearken  unto  her.  Then 
he  called  his  servant  that  ministered  unto  him,  and 
said.  Put  now  this  woman  out  from  me,  and  bolt  the 

18  door  after  her.  And  she  had  ^a  garment  of  divers 
colours  upon  her :  for  with  such  robes  were  the 
king's  daughters  that  were  virgins  apparelled.  Then 
his  servant  brought  her  out,  and  bolted  the  door 

19  after  her.  And  Ta'mar  put  ashes  on  her  head,  and 
rent  her  garment  of  divers  colours  that  Avas  on  her ; 
and  she  laid  her  hand  on  her  head,  and  went  her 

20  way,  crying  aloud  as  she  went.  And  Ab'sa-lom  her 
brother  said  unto  her.  Hath  ''Am'non  thy  brother 
been  with  thee  ?  but  now  hold  thy  peace,  my  sister : 
he  is  thy  brother;  take  not  this  thing  to  heart.  So 
Ta'mar  remained  desolate  in  her  brother  Ab'sa-lom's 

21  house.     But  when   king  Da'vid  heard  of  all  these 

22  things,  he  was  very  wroth.  And  Ab'sa-lom  spake 
unto  Am'non  neither  good  nor  bad :  for  Ab'sa-lom 
hated  Am'non,  because  he  had  forced  his  sister 
Ta'mar. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  after  two  full  years,  that 
Ab'sa-lom  had  sheepshearers  in  Ba'al-ha'zor,  which  is 
beside  E'phra-im :  and  Ab'sa-lom  invited  all  the  king's 

24  sons.  And  Ab'sa-lom  came  to  the  king,  and  said, 
Behold  now,  thy  servant  hath  sheepshearers;  let 
the  king,  I  pray  thee,  and  his  servants  go  with  thy 

25  servant.  And  the  king  said  to  Ab',sa-lom,  Nay,  my 
son,  let  us  not  all  go,  lest  we  be  burdensome  unto 
thee.     And  he  pressed   him :   howbeit  he  would  not 

26  go,  but  blessed  him.  Then  .said  Ab'sa-lom,  If  not,  I 
pray  thee,  let  my  brother  Am'non  go  with  us.  And 
the  king  said  unto  him.  Why  should  he  go  with  thee?

27  But  Ab'sa-lom  pressed  him,  that  he  let  Am'non  and  all 
the  king's  sons  go  with  him. 

28  ^Now  Ab'sa-lom  had  commanded  his  servants,  sayfng, 
Mark  ye  now  when  Am'non's  ""heart  is  merry  with  wine,  and 
when  I  say  unto  you,  Smite  Am'non;  then  kill  him,  fear  not: 
II  have  not  I  commanded  you?  be  courageous,  and  be  fvaliant. 

29  And  the  servants  of  Ab'sa-lom  did  unto  Am'non  as  Ab'- 
sa-lom had  commanded.  Then  all  the  king's  sons  arose, 
and  every  man  fgat  him  up  upon  his  mule,  and  fled. 

30  l[And  it  came  to  pass,  while  they  were  in  the  way, 
that  tidings  came  to  Da'vid,  saying,  Ab'sa-lom  hath  slain  all 
the  king's  sons,  and  there  is  not  one  of  them  left. 

31  Then  the  king  arose,  and  'tare  his  garments,  and  'lay  on 
the  earth  ;  and  all  his  servants  stood  by  with  their  clothes  rent. 

32  And  " Jon'a-dab,  the  son  of  Shim'e-ah  Da'vid's  brother, 
answered  and  said.  Let  not  my  lord  suppose  that  they  have 
slain  all  the  young  men  the  king's  sons;  for  Am'non  only  is 
dead :  for  by  the  fappointment  of  Ab'sa-lom  this  hath  been 
II  determined  from  the  day  that  he  forc"rl  his  sister  Ta'mar. 

33  Now  therefore  ""let  not  my  Ioj  a  the  ".ing  take  the  thing 
to  his  heart,  to  think  that  all  the  king's  sons  are  dead :  for 
Am'non  only  is  dead. 

34  "But  Ab'sa-lom  fled.  And  the  young  man  that  kept  the 
watch  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  looked,  and,  behold,  there  came 
much  people  by  the  way  of  the  hill  side  behind  him. 

35  And  Jon'a-dab  said  unto  the  king,  Behold,  the  king's 
sons  come:  fas  thy  servant  said,  so  it  is. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  he  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking,  that,  behold,  the  king's  sons  came,  and  lifted  up 
their  voice  and  wept :  and  the  king  also  and  all  his  servants 
wept  fvery  sore. 

37  "^But  Ab'sa-lom  fled,  and  went  to  'Tal'mai,  the  son  of 
II  Am-mi'hud,  king  of  Ge'shur.  And  Da'vid  mourned  for  his 
son  every  day. 

38  So  Ab'sa-lom  fled,  and  went  to  "Ge'shur,  and  was  there 
three  years. 

39  And  the  soul  of  king  Da'vid  ||  longed  to  go  forth  unto 
Ab'sa-lom:  for  he  was  'comforted  concerning  Am'non,  seeing 
he  was  dead. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Absalom  byjoab  is  brought  into  the  king's  presence. 

NOW  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  perceived  that  the  king's 
heart  wets  "toward  Ab'sa-lom. 

2  And  Jo'ab  sent  to  'Te-ko'ah,  and  fetched  thence  a  wise 
woman,  and  said  unto  her,  I  pray  thee,  feign  thyself  to  be  a 
mourner,  ''and  put  on  now  mourning  apparel,  and  anoint 
not  thyself  with  oil,  but  be  as  a  woman  that  had  a  long 
time  mourned  for  the  dead : 

3  And  come  to  the  king,  and  speak  on  this  manner  unto 
him.     So  Jo'ab  ''put  the  words  in  her  mouth. 

4  ^And  when  the  woman  of  Te-ko'ah  spake  to  the  'cing, 
she  'fell  on  her  face  to  the  ground,  and  did  obeisanc. ,  and 
said,  t'^Help,  O  king. 

5  And  the  king  said  unto  her,Whataileth  thee?  And  sje  an- 
swered,"lam  indeedawidow  woman, andminehusband  is  dead. 

6  And  thy  handmaid  had  two  sons,  and  they  two  strove 
together  in  the  field,  and  there  was  fnone  to  part  them,  but 
the  one  smote  the  other,  and  slew  him. 

7  And,  behold,  Hhe  whole  family  is  risen  against  thine  hand- 
maid, and  they  said,  Deliver  him  that  smote  his  brother,  that 
we  may  kill  him,  for  the  life  of  his  brother  whom  he  slew ; 
and  we  will  destroy  the  heir  also  :  and  so  they  shall  quench 
my  coal  which  is  left,  and  shall  not  leave  to  my  husband 
neither  name  nor  remainder  fupon  the  earth. 

8  And  the  king  said  unto  the  woman,  Go  to  thine  house, 
and  I  will  give  charge  concerning  thee. 

9  And  the  woman  of  Te-ko'ah  said  unto  the  king.  My  lord, 
O  king,  'the  iniquity  be  on  me,  and  on  my  father's  house : 
'and  the  king  and  his  throne  be  guiltless. 


27  But  Ab'sa-lom  pressed  him,  that  he  let  Am'non  and 

28  all  the  king's  sons  go  with  him.  And  Ab'sa-lom 
commanded  his  servants,  saying,  Mark  ye  now,  when 
Am'non's  heart  is  merry  with  wine ;  and  when  I  say 
unto  you.  Smite  Am'non,  then  kill  him,  fear  not : 
have  not  I  commanded  you  ?  be  courageous,  and  be 

29  valiant.  And  the  servants  of  Ab'sa-lom  did  unto 
Am'non  as  Ab'sa-lom  had  commanded.  Then  all  the 
king's  sons  arose,  and  every  man  gat  him  up  upon 

30  his  mule,  and  fled.  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  they 
were  in  the  way,  that  the  tidings  came  to  Da'vid, 
saying,  Ab'sa-lom  hath  slain  all  the  king's  sons,  and 

31  there  is  not  one  of  them  left.  Then  the  king  arose, 
and  rent  his  garments,  and  lay  on  the  earth ;  and  all 

32  his  servants  stood  by  with  their  clothes  rent.  And 
Jon'a-dab,  the  son  of  Shim'e-ah  Da'vid's  brother,  an- 
swered and  said.  Let  not  my  lord  suppose  that  they 
have  killed  all  the  young  men  the  king's  sons;  for 
Am'non  only  is  dead :  for  by  the  appointment  of 
Ab'sa-lom  this  hath  been  determined  from  the  day 

33  that  he  forced  his  sister  Ta'mar.  Now  therefore  let 
not  my  lord  the  king  take  the  thing  to  his  heart,  to 
think  that  all  the  king's  sons  are  dead :  for  Am'non 

34  only  is  dead.  But  Ab'sa-lom  fled.  And  the  young 
man  that  kept  the  watch  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  there  came  much   people   by 

35 the  way  of  the  hill  side  behind  him.  And  Jon'a-dab 
said   unto   the  king.  Behold,  the   king's  sons  are 

36 come:  as  thy  servant  said,  so  it  is.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  soon  as  he  had  made  r.n  end  of  speaking, 
that,  behold,  the  king's  sons  came,  and  lifted  up  their 
voice,  and  wept :  and  the  king  also  and  all  his  serv 

37  ants  wept  'very  sore.  But  Ab'sa-lom  fled,  and  went 
to  Tal'mai  the  son  of  ^Am-mi'hur,  king  of  Ge'shur 
And  Da'vid  mourned  for  his  son  every  day. 

38  So  Ab'sa-lom  fled,  and  went  to  Ge'shur,  and  was 

39  there  three  years.  And  the  soul  of  king  Da'vid  longed 
to  go  forth  unto  Ab'sa-lom :  for  he  was  comforted 
concerning  Am'non,  seeing  he  was  dead. 

i^    Now  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  perceived  that  the 

2  king's  heart  was  toward  Ab'sa-lom.  And  Jo'ab  sent 
to  Te-ko'a,  and  fetched  thence  a  wise  woman,  and 
said  unto  her,  I  pray  thee,  feign  thyself  to  be  a 
mourner,  and  put  on  mourning  apparel,  I  pray  thee, 
and  anoint  not  thyself  Avith  oil,  but  be  as  a  woman 

3  that  had  a  long  time  mourned  for  the  dead :  and  go 
in  to  the  king,  and  speak  on  this  manner  unto  him. 

4  So  Jo'ab  put  the  words  in  her  mouth.  And  when 
the  woman  of  Te-ko'a  spake  to  the  king,  she  fell  on 
her  face  to  the  ground,  and  did  obeisance,  and  said, 

5  Help,  O  king.  And  the  king  said  unto  her.  What 
aileth  thee  ?     And  she  answered,  Of  a  truth  I  am  a 

6  widow  woman,  and  mine  husband  is  dead.  And  thy 
handmaid  had  ivvo  sons,  and  they  two  strove  together 
in  the  field,  and  there  was  none  to  part  them,  but  the 

7  one  smote  the  other,  and  killed  him.  And,  behold, 
the  whole  family  is  risen  against  thine  handmaid,  and 
they  said,  Deliver  him  that  smote  his  brother,  that 
we  may  kill  him  for  the  life  of  his  brother  whom  he 
slew,  and  so  destroy  the  heir  also :  thus  shall  they 
quench  my  coal  which  is  left,  and  shall  leave  to  my 
husband  neither  name  nor  remainder  upon  the  face  of 

8  the  earth.  And  the  king  said  unto  the  woman,  Go  to 
thine  house,  and  I  will  give  charge  concerning  thee. 

9  And  the  woman  of  Te-ko'a  said  unto  the  king.  My 
lord,  O  king,  the  iniquity  be  on  me,  and  on  my  fa- 
ther's house  :  and  the  king  and  his  throne  be  guiltless.

10  And  the  king  said,  Whosoever  saith  aught  unto  thee, 
bring  him  to  me,  and  he  shall  not  touch  thee  any  more. 

11  Then  said  she,  I  pray  thee,  let  the  king  remember  the 
Lord  thy  God,  fthat  thou  wouldest  not  suffer  'the  revengers 
of  blood  to  destroy  any  more,  lest  they  destroy  my  son.  And 
he  said,  "'As  the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall  not  one  hair  of  thy 
son  fall  to  the  earth. 

12  Then  the  woman  said.  Let  thine  handmaid,  I  pray 
thee,  speak  one  word  unto  my  lord  the  king.  And  he  said. 
Say  on. 

13  And  the  woman  said.  Wherefore  then  hast  thou  thought 
such  a  thing  against  "the  people  of  God?  for  the  king  doth 
speak  this  thing  as  one  which  is  faulty,  in  that  the  king  doth 
not  fetch  home  again  "his  banished. 

14  For  we  "must  needs  die,  and  are  as  water  spilt  on  the 
ground,  which  can  not  be  gathered  up  again ;  ||  neither  doth 
God  respect  any  person  ;  yet  doth  he  'devise  means,  that  his 
banished  be  not  expelled  from  him. 

15  Now  therefore  that  I  am  come  to  speak  of  this  thing 
unto  my  lord  the  king,  it  is  because  the  people  have  made 
me  afraid:  and  thy  handmaid  said,  I  will  now  speak  unto 
the  king ;  it  may  be  that  the  king  will  perform  the  request 
of  his  handmaid. 

16  For  the  king  will  hear,  to  deliver  his  handmaid  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  man  that  would  destroy  me  and  my  son  to- 
gether out  of  the  inheritance  of  God. 

17  Then  thine  handmaid  said,  The  word  of  my  lord  the 
king  shall  now  be  fcomfortable :  for  'as  an  angel  of  God, 
so  is  my  lord  the  king  fto  discern  good  and  bad :  therefore 
the  Lord  thy  God  will  be  with  thee. 

18  Then  the  king  answered  and  said  unto  the  woman,  Hide 
not  from  me,  I  pray  thee,  the  thing  that  I  shall  ask  thee. 
And  the  woman  said,  Let  my  lord  the  king  now  speak. 

19  And  the  king  said.  Is  not  the  hand  of  Jo'ab  with  thee 
in  all  this  ?  And  the  woman  answered  and  said,  As  thy  soul 
liveth,  my  lord  the  king,  none  can  turn  to  the  right  hand  or 
to  the  left  from  aught  that  my  lord  the  king  hath  spoken : 
for  thy  servant  Jo'ab,  he  bade  me,  and  'he  put  all  these  words 
in  the  mouth  of  thine  handmaid : 

20  To  fetch  about  this  form  of  speech  hath  thy  ser-^'ant 
Jo'ab  done  this  thing :  and  my  lord  is  wise,  'according  to  the 
wisdom  of  an  angel  of  God,  to  know  all  things  that  are  in 
the  earth. 

21  ^And  the  king  said  unto  Jo'ab,  Behold  now,  I  have 
done  this  thing :  go  therefore,  bring  the  young  man  Ab'sa- 
lom  again. 

22  And  Jo'ab  fell  to  the  ground  on  his  face,  and  bowed 
himself,  and  fthanked  the  king :  and  Jo'ab  said.  To-day  thy 
servant  knoweth  that  I  have  found  grace  in  thy  sight,  my 
lord,  O  king,  in  that  the  king  hath  fulfilled  the  request  of 
II  his  servant. 

23  So  Jo'ab  arose  "and  went  to  Gre'shur,  and  brought  Ab'- 
sa-lom  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

24  And  the  king  said.  Let  him  turn  to  his  own  house,  and 
let  him  ''not  see  my  &ce.  So  Ab'sa-lom  returned  to  his  own 
house,  and  saw  not  the  king's  face. 

25  ^fBut  in  all  Is' ra -el  there  was  none  to  be  so  much  praised 
as  Ab'sa-lom  for  his  beauty :  "from  the  sole  of  his  foot  even 
to  the  crown  of  his  head  there  was  no  blemish  in  him. 

26  And  when  he  polled  his  head,  (for  it  was  at  every  year's 
end  that  he  polled  it;  because  the  hair  was  heavy  on  him, 
therefore  he  polled  it :)  he  weighed  the  hair  of  his  head  at 
two  hundred  shekels  after  the  king's  weight. 

27  And  'unto  Ab'sa-lom  there  were  born  three  sons,  and 
one  daugnter,  whose  name  was  Ta'mar :  she  was  a  woman 
of  a  fair  countenance. 

28  ^So  Ab'sa-lom  dwelt  two  full  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
"and  saw  not  the  king's  face. 

29  Therefore  Ab'sa-lom  sent  for  Jo'ab,to  have  senthimto  the 


10  And  the  king  said,  Whosoever  saith  aught  unto 
thee,  bring  him  to  me,  and  he  shall  not  touch  thee 

11  any  more.  Then  said  she,  I  pray  thee,  let  the  king 
remember  the  Lord  thy  God,  that  the  avenger  of 
blood  destroy  not  any  more,  lest  they  destroy  my 
son.     And  he  said,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall 

12  not  one  hair  of  thy  sou  fall  to  the  earth.  Then 
the  woman  said.  Let  thine  handmaid,  I  pray  th  e, 
speak  a  word  unto  my  lord  the  king.     And  he  said, 

13  Say  on.  And  the  woman  said.  Wherefore  then  hast 
thou  devised  such  a  thing  against  the  people  of 
God?  for  in  speaking  this  word  the  king  is  as  one 
which  is  guilty,  in  that  the  king  doth  not  fetch  home 

14  again  his  banished  one.  For  we  must  needs  die,  and 
are  as  water  spilt  on  the  ground,  which  cannot  be 
gathered  up  again  ;  neither  doth  God  take  away  life, 
but  deviseth  means,  that  he  that  is  banished  be  not 

15an  outcast  from  haii.  Now  therefore  seeing  that  I 
am  come  to  speak  this  word  unto  my  lord  the  king, 
it  is  because  the  people  have  made  me  afraid :  and 
thy  handmaid  said,  I  will  now  speak  unto  the  king; 
it  may  be  that  the  king  will  perform  the  request  of 

16  his  servant.  For  the  king  will  hear,  to  deliver  his 
servant  out  of  the  hand  of  the  man  that  would  de- 
stroy me  and  my  son  together  out  of  the  inheritance 

17  of  God.  Then  thine  handmaid  said.  Let,  I  pray 
thee,  the  word  of  my  lord  the  king  be  'comfortable : 
for  as  ^an  angel  of  God,  so  is  my  lord  the  king  Ho 
discern  good   and  bad :  and  the  Lord  tiiy  God  be 

18  with  thee.  Ttien  the  king  answered  and  said  unto 
the  woman.  Hide  not  from  me,  I  pray  thee,  aught 
that  I  shall  ask  thee.     And  the  woman  said.  Let  my 

19  lord  the  king  now  speak.  And  the  king  said.  Is  the 
hand  of  Jo'ab  with  thee  in  all  this  ?  And  the  woman 
answered  au-l  =nid.  As  thy  soul  liveth,  my  lord  the 
king,  none  can  turn  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left 
from  aught  that  my  lord  the  king  hath  spoken :  for 
thy  servant  Jo'ab,  he  bade  me,  and  he  put  all  these 

20  words  in  the  mouth  of  thine  handmaid :  to  change 
the  face  of  the  matter  hath  thy  servant  Jo'ab  done 
this  thing :  and  my  lord  is  wise,  according  to  the 
wisdom  of  ^an  angel  of  God,  to  know  all  things  that 

21  are  in  the  earth.  And  the  king  said  unto  Jo'ab,  Be- 
hold   now,  *I  have  done  this  thing:    go  therefore, 

22  bring  the  young  man  Ab'sa-lom  again.  And  Jo'ab 
fell  to  the  ground  on  his  face,  and  did  obeisance,  and 
blessed  the  king :  and  Jo'ab  said.  To-day  thj'  servant 
knoweth  that  I  have  found  grace  in  thy  sight,  my 
lord,  O  king,  in  that  the  king  hath  performed  the 

'  3  request  of 'his  servant.     So  Jo'ab  arose  and  went  to 

L  4  Ge'shur,and  brought  Ab'sa-lom  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.    And 

the  king  said,  Let  him  turn  to  his  own  house,  but 

let  him  not  see  my  fiice.     So  Ab'.sa-lom  turned  to  his 

own  house,  and  saw  not  the  king's  face. 

25  Now  in  all  Is'ra-el  there  was  none  to  be  so  much 
praised  as  Ab'sa-lom  for  his  beauty :  from  the  sole  of 
his  foot  even  to  the  crown  of  his  head  there  was  no 

26  blemish  in  him.  And  when  he  polled  his  head,  (now 
it  was  at  every  year's  end  that  he  polled  it :  because 
the  hair  was  heavy  on  him,  therefore  he  polled  it :) 
he   weighed  the   hair  of  his  head  at  two  hundred 

'27 shekels,  after  the  king's  weight.  And  unto  Ab'sa- 
lom  there  were  born  three  sons,  and  one  daughter, 
whose  name  was  Ta'mar :  she  was  a  woman  of  a  fair 
countenance. 

28  And  Ab'sa-lom  dwelt  two  full  years  in  Je-ru'- 

29  sa-lem ;  and  he  saw  not  the  king's  face.  Then 
Ab'sa-lom    sent    for    Jo'ab,   to    send    him   to    the

king ;  but  he  would  not  come  to  him :  and  when  he  sent 
again  the  second  time,  he  would  not  come. 

30  Therefore  he  said  unto  his  servants,  See,  Jo'ab's  field  is 
fnear  mine,  and  he  hath  barley  there ;  go  and  set  it  on  fire. 
And  Ab'sa-lom's  servants  set  the  field  on  fire. 

31  Then  Jo'ab  arose,  and  came  to  Ab'sa-lom  unto  his  house, 
and  said  unto  him,  Wherefore  have  thy  servants  set  my  field 
on  fire  ? 

32  And  Ab'sa-lom  answered  Jo'ab,  Behold,  I  sent  unto  thee, 
saying,  Come  hither,  that  I  may  send  thee  to  the  king,  to 
say,  Wherefore  am  I  come  from  Ge'shur?  it  had  been  good 
for  me  to  have  been  there  still:  now  therefore  let  me  see 
the  king's  face;  and  if  there  be  any  iniquity  in  me,  let 
him  kill  me. 

33  So  Jo'ab  came  to  the  king,  and  told  him :  and  when  he 
had  called  for  Ab'sa-lom,  he  came  to  the  king,  and  bowed  him- 
self on  his  face  to  the  ground  before  the  king :  and  the  king 
''kissed  Ab'sa-lom. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

Absalom,  by  fair  speeches  and  courtesies,  stealeth  the  hearts  of  Israel. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Ab'sa-lom  'prepared 
him  chariots  and  horses,  and  fifty  men  to  run  before  him. 

2  And  Ab'sa-lom  rose  up  early,  and  stood  beside  the  way 
of  the  gate :  and  it  was  so,  that  when  any  man  that  had  a 
controversy  fcame  to  the  king  for  judgment,  then  Ab'sa-lom 
called  unto  him,  and  said,  Of  what  city  art  thou  ?  And  he 
said,  Thy  servant  is  of  one  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el. 

3  And  Ab'sa-lom  said  unto  him.  See,  thy  matters  are  good  and 
right;  but  ||<Aere  is  no  man  deputed  of  the  king  to  hear  thee. 

4  Ab'sa-lom  said  moreover,  ''Oh  that  I  were  made  judge  in 
the  land,  that  every  man  which  hath  any  suit  or  cause  might 
come  unto  me,  and  I  would  do  him  justice! 

5  And  it  was  so,  that  when  any  man  came  nigh  to  him  to 
do  him  obeisance,  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and  took  him,  and 
kissed  him. 

6  And  on  this  manner  did  Ab'sa-lom  to  all  Is'ra-el  that  came 
to  the  king  for  judgment:  ''so  Ab'sa-lom  stole  the  hearts  of 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  •([ And  it  came  to  pass  'after  forty  years,  that  Ab'sa-lom 
said  unto  the  king,  I  pray  thee,  let  me  go  and  pay  my  vow, 
which  I  have  vowed  unto  the  Lord,  in  He'bron. 

8  -^For  thy  servant  "vowed  a  vow  ''while  I  abode  in  Ge'shur 
in  Syr'i-a,  saying,  If  the  Lord  shall  bring  me  again  indeed 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  then  I  will  serve  the  Lord. 

9  And  the  king  said  unto  him.  Go  in  peace.  So  he  arose, 
and  went  to  He'bron. 

10  ^But  Ab'sa-lom  sent  spies  throughout  all  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying,  As  soon  as  ye  hear  the  sound  of  the  trumpet, 
then  ye  shall  say,  Ab'sa-lom  reigneth  in  He'bron. 

11  And  with  Ab'sa-lom  went  two  hundred  men  out  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  that  were  'called ;  and  they  went  *in  their  sim- 
plicity, and  they  knew  not  any  thing. 

12  And  Ab'sa-lom  sent  .for  A-hith'o-phel  the  Gi'lon-ite, 
'Da'vid's  counsellor,  from  his  city,  even  from  "Gi'loh,  while 
he  offered  sacrifices.  And  the  conspiracy  was  strong;  for 
the  people  "increased  continually  with  Ab'sa-lom. 

13  ^And  there  came  a  messenger  to  Da'vid,  saying,  "The 
hearts  of  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  are  after  Ab'sa-lom. 

14  And  Da'vid  said  unto  all  his  servants  that  were  with 
him  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Arise,  and  let  us  ''flee ;  for  we  shall  not 
else  escape  from  Ab'salom:  make  speed  to  depart,  lest  he 
overtake  us  suddenly,  and  fbring  evil  upon  us,  and  smite 
the  city  with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

15  And  the  king's  servants  said  unto  the  king.  Behold, 
thy  servants  are  ready  to  do  whatsoever  my  lord  the  king 
shall  fappoint. 

16  And  «the  king  went  forth,  and  all  his  household  fafter 
him.  And  the  king  left  ''ten  women,  which  were  concubines, 
to  keep  the  house. 


king ;  but  he  would  nd;  come  to  him :  and  he  sent 

30  again  a  second  time,  but  he  would  not  come.  There- 
fore he  said  unto  his  servants.  See,  Jo'ab's  field  is 
near  mine,  and  he  hath  barley  there;  go  and  set  it 
on  fire.     And  Ab'sa-lom's  servants  set  the  field  on 

31  fire.  Then  Jo'ab  arose,  and  came  to  Ab'sa-lom  unto 
his  house,  and  said  unto  him,   Wherefore  have  thy 

32  servants  set  my  field  on  fire  ?  And  Ab'sa-lom  an- 
swered Jo'ab,  Behold,  I  sent  unto  thee,  saying.  Come 
hither,  that  I  may  send  thee  to  the  king,  to  say. 
Wherefore  am  I  come  from  Ge'shur?  it  were  better 
for  me  to  be  there  still :  now  therefore  let  me  see  the 
king's  face ;  and  if  there  be  iniquity  in  me,  let  him 

33  kill  me.  So  Jo'ab  came  to  the  king,  and  told  him  : 
and  when  he  had  called  for  Ab'sa-lom,  he  came  to  the 
king,  and  bowed  himself  on  his  face  to  the  ground 
before  the  king:  and  the  king  kissed  Ab'sa-lom. 

-LO  And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Ab'sa-lom  pre- 
pared him  a  chariot  and  horses,  and  fifty  men  to  run 

2  before  him.  And  Ab'sa-lom  rose  up  early,  and  stood 
beside  the  way  of  the  gate :  and  it  was  so,  that  when 
any  man  had  a  suit  which  should  come  to  the  king 
for  judgement,  then  Ab'sa-lom  called  unto  him,  and 
said.  Of  what  city  art   thou?     And   he    said,    Thy 

3  servant  is  of  one  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el.  And  Ab'sa- 
lom  said  unto  him,  See,  thy  matters  are  good  and 
right;  but  there  is  no  man  deputed  of  the  king  to 

4  hear  thee.  Ab'sa-lom  said  moreover.  Oh  that  I  were 
made  judge  in  the  land,  that  every  man  which  hath 
any  suit  or  cause  might  come  unto  me,  and  I  would 

5  do  him  justice !  And  it  was  so,  that  when  any  man 
came  nigh  to  do  him  obeisance,  he  put    forth    his 

6  hand,  and  took  hold  of  him,  and  kissed  him.  And 
on  this  manner  did  Ab'sa-lom  to  all  Is'ra-el  that  came 
to  the  king  for  judgement :  so  Ab'sa-lom  stole  the 
hearts  of  the  men  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  'forty  years, 
that  Ab'sa-lom  said  unto  the  king,  I  pray  thee,  let  me 
go  and  pay  my  vow,  which  I  have  vowed  unto  the 

8  Lord,  in  He'bron.  For  thy  servant  vowed  a  vow 
while  I  abode  at  Ge'shur  in  ^Syr'i-a,  saying,  If  the 
Lord  shall  indeed  bring  me  again  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

9  then  I  will  'serve  the  IjORD.  And  the  king  said  unto 
him.  Go  in  peace.     So  he  arose,  and  went  to  He'- 

lObron.  But  Ab'sa-lom  sent  spies  throughout  all  the 
tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  As  soon  as  ye  hear  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  then  ye  shall  say,  Ab'sa-lom  is 

11  king  in  He'bron.  And  with  Ab'sa-lom  went  two 
hundred  men  out  of  Je^ru'sa-lem,  that  were  invited, 
and  went  in  their  simplicity;  and  they   knew    not 

12  any  thing.  And  Ab'sa-lom  *sent  for  A-hith'o-phel  the 
Gi'lon-ite,  Da'vid's  counsellor,  fi-om  his  city,  even  irova 
Gi'loh,  while  he  offered  the  sacrifices.  And  the  con- 
spiracy was  strong;  for  the  people  increased  con- 
tinually with  Ab'sa-lom. 

13  And  there  came  a  messenger  to  Da'vid,  saying.  The 

14  hearts  of  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  areafber  Ab'sa-lom.  And 
Da'vid  said  unto  all  his  servants  that  were  with  himat 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  Arise,  and  let  us  flee ;  for  else  none  of  us 
shall  escape  from  Ab'sa-lom :  make  speed  to  depart, 
lest  he  overtake  us  quickly,  and  bring  down  evil  upon 
us,  and  smite  the  city  with  the  edge  of  the  sword. 

15  And  the  king's  servants  said  unto  the  king.  Behold, 
'  thy  servants  are  ready  to  do   whatsoever  my  lord 

16  the  king  shall  choose.  And  the  king  went  forth,  and 
all  his  household  after  him.  And  the  king  left  ten 
women,  which  were  concubines,  to  keep  the  house.

17  And  the  king  went  forth,  and  all  the  people  after  him, 
and  tarried  in  a  place  that  was  far  off. 

18  And  all  his  servants  passed  on  beside  him ;  'and  all  the 
Cher'eth-ites,  and  all  the  Pe'leth-ites,  and  all  the  Git'tites,  six 
hundred  men  which  came  after  him  from  Gath,  passed  on 
before  the  king. 

19  ^Then  said  the  king  to  'It'ta-i  the  Git'tite,  Wherefore 
goestthou  also  with  us?  return  to  thy  place,  and  abide  with 
the  king;  for  thou  art  a  stranger,  and  also  an  exile. 

20  Whereas  thou  camest  but  yesterday,  should  I  this  day 
fmake  thee  go  up  and  down  with  us?  seeing  I  go  "whither 
I  may,  return  thou,  and  take  back  thy  brethren :  mercy  and 
truth  be  with  thee. 

21  And  It'ta-i  answered  the  king,  and  said,  Ms  the  Lord 
liveth,  and  as  my  lord  the  king  liveth,  surely  in  what  place 
my  lord  the  king  shall  be,  whether  in  death  or  life,  even  there 
also  will  thy  servant  be. 

22  And  Da'vid  said  to  It'ta-i,  Go  and  pass  over.  And  It'ta-i 
the  Git'tite  passed  over,  and  all  his  men,  and  all  the  little  ones 
that  were  with  him. 

23  And  all  the  country  wept  with  a  loud  voice,  and  all  the 
people  passed  over:  the  king  also  himself  passed  over  the 
brook  II  Kid'ron,  and  all  the  people  passed  over,  toward  the 
way  of  the  "wilderness. 

24  ^ And  lo,  Za'dok  also,  and  all  the  Le'vites  were  with  him, 
'bearing  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  God :  and  they  set  down 
the  ark  of  God ;  and  A-bi'a-thar  went  up,  until  all  the  people 
had  done  passing  out  of  the  city. 

25  And  the  king  said  unto  Za'dok,  Carry  back  the  ark  of 
God  into  the  city :  if  I  shall  find  favour  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  he  "will  bring  me  again,  and  shew  me  both  it,  and  his 
habitation  : 

26  But  if  he  thus  say,  I  have  no  'delight  in  thee ;  behold, 
here  am  I,  "let  him  do  to  me  as  seemeth  good  unto  him. 

27  The  king  said  also  unto  Za'dok  the  priest.  Art  not 
thou  a  ''seer?  return  into  the  city  in  peace,  and  'your  two 
sons  with  you,  A-him'a-az  thy  son,  and  Jon'a-than  the  son 
of  A-bi'a-thar. 

28  See,  -^1  will  tarry  in  the  plain  of  the  wilderness,  until 
there  come  word  from  you  to  certify  me. 

29  Za'dok  therefore  and  A-bi'a-thar  carried  the  ark  of  God 
again  to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  they  tarried  there. 

30  ^And  Da'vid  went  up  by  the  ascent  of  mount  Ol'i-vet, 
fand  wept  as  he  went  up,  and  "had  his  head  covered,  and 
he  went  ''barefoot:  and  all  the  people  that  was  with  him 
•covered  every  man  his  head,  and  they  went  up,  *weeping  as 
they  went  up. 

31  ^And  onetold  Da'vid,  saying,  'A-hith'o-phel  is  among  the 
conspirators  with  Ab'sa-lom.  And  Da'vid  said,  O  Lord,  I  pray 
thee,  "'turn  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel  into  foolishness. 

32  *^And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  Da'vid  was  come  to 
the  top  of  the  mount,  where  he  worshipped  God,  behold, 
Hu'shai  the  "Ar'chite  came  to  meet  him  "with  his  coat  rent, 
and  earth  upon  his  head : 

33  Unto  whom  Da'vid  said,  If  thou  passest  on  with  me, 
then  thou  shalt  be  "a  burden  unto  me : 

34  But  if  thou  return  to  the  city,  and  say  unto  Ab'sa-lom, 
"1  will  be  thy  servant,  O  king;  as  I  have  been  thy  father's 
servant  hitherto,  so  will  I  now  also  be  thy  servant :  then 
mayest  thou  for  me  defeat  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel. 

35  And  hast  thou  not  there  with  thee  Za'dok  and  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priests?  therefore  it  shall  be,  that  what  thing  soever  thou 
shalt  hear  out  of  the  king's  house,  ''thou  shalt  tell  it  to  Za'dok 
and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priests. 

36  Behold,  they  have  there  'with  them  their  two  sons, 
A-him'a-az  Za'dok's  son,  and  Jon'a-than  Ab-i'a-thar's  soti;  and 
by  them  ye  shall  send  unto  me  every  thing  that  ye  can  hear. 

37  So  Hu'shai  'Da'vid's  friend  came  into  the  city,  "and 
Ab'sa-lom  came  into  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


17  And  the  king  went  forth,  and  all  the  people  after 
18 him;  and  they  tarried  4n  Beth-mer'hak.     And  all 
his   servants  passed   on   beside  him ;    and   all   the 
Cher'eth-ites,  and  all  the  Pe'leth-ites,  and  all  the  Git'- 
tites, six  hundred  men  which  came  after  him  from 

19  Gath,  passed  on  before  the  king.  Then  said  the 
king  to  It'ta-i  the  Git'tite,  Wherefore  goest  thou  also 
with  us?  return,  and  abide  with  the  king:  for  thou 
art  a  stranger,  and  also  an  exile ;  return  to  thine 

20  own  place.  Whereas  thou  camest  but  yesterday, 
should  I  this  day  make  thee  go  up  and  down  with 
us,  seeing  I  go  whither  I  may?  return  thou,  and 
take  back  thy  brethren;  mercy  and  truth  be  with 

21  thee.  And  It'ta-i  answered  the  king,  and  said.  As 
the  Lord  liveth,  and  as  my  lord  the  king  liveth, 
surely  in  what  place  my  lord  the  king  shall  be, 
whether  for  death  or  for  life,  even  there  also  will 

22  thy  servant  be.  And  Da'vid  said  to  It'ta-i,  Go  and 
pass  over.  And  It'ta-i  the  Git'tite  passed  over,  and 
all  his  men,  and  all  the   little  ones  that  were  with 

23 him.  And  all  the  country  wept  with  a  loud  voice, 
and  all  the  people  passed  over :  the  king  also  him- 
self passed  over  the  brook  Kid'ron,  and  all  the  people 

24  passed  over,  toward  the  way  of  the  wilderness.  And, 
lo,  Za'dok  also  came,  and  all  the  Le'vites  with  him, 
bearing  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  God ;  and  they 
setdownthe  ark  of  God,  and  A-bi'a-thar  went  up,  until 

25  all  the  people  had  done  passing  out  of  the  city.  And 
the  king  said  unto  Za'dok,  Carry  back  the  ark  of  God 
into  the  city :  if  I  shall  find  favour  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  he  will  bring  me  again,  and  shew  me  both  it, 

26  and  his  habitation :  but  if  he  say  thus,  I  have  no 
delight  in  thee ;  behold,  here  am  I,  let  him  do  to  me 

27  as  seemeth  good  unto  him.  The  king  said  also  unto 
Za'dok  the  priest,  ^Art  thou  not  a  seer?  return  into 
the  city  in  peace,  and  your  two  sons  with  you,  A-him'- 
a-az thy  son,  and  Jon'a-than  the  son  of  A-bi'a-thar. 

28  See,  I  will  tarry  'at  the  fords  of  the  wilderness,  until 

29  there  come  word  from  you  to  certify  me.  Za'dok 
therefore  and  A-bi'a-thar  carried  the  ark  of  God  again 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  they  abode  there. 

30  And  Da'vid  went  up  by  the  ascent  of  the  mount  of 
Olives,  and  wept  as  he  went  up ;  and  he  had  his  head 
covered,  and  went  barefoot :  and  all  the  people  that 
were  with  him  covered  every  man  his  head,  and  they 

31  went  up  weeping  as  they  went  up.  And  one  told 
Da'vid,  saying,  A-hith'o-phel  isamongtheconspirators 
with  Ab'sa-lom.  And  Da'vid  said,  O  Lord,  I  pray 
thee,  turn  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel  into  foolish- 

32ness.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  Da'vid  was 
come  to  the  top  of  the  accent,  *where  God  was  wor- 
shipped, behold,  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite  came  to  meet 

33  him  with  his  coat  rent,  and  earth  upon  his  head :  and 
Da'vid  said  unto  him.  If  thou  passest  on  with  me, 

34  then  shalt  thou  be  a  burden  unto  me :  but  if  thou 
return  to  the  city,  and  say  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  I  will  be 
thy  servant,  O  king;  as  I  have  been  thy  father's 
servant  in  time  past,  so  will  I  now  be  thy  servant : 
then  shalt  thou  defeat  for  me  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o- 

35phel.  And  hast  thou  not  there  with  thee  Za'dok 
and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priests  ?  therefore  it  shall  be,  that 
what  thing  soever  thou  shalt  hear  out  of  the  king's 
house,  thou  shalt  tell  it  to  Za'dok  and  A-bi'a-thar  the 

36  priests.  Behold,  they  have  there  with  them  their 
two  sons,  A-him'a-az  Za'dok's  son,  and  Jon'a-than 
A-bi'a-thar's  son  ;  and  by  them  ye  shall  send  unto 

37  me  every  thing  that  ye  shall  hear.  So  Hu'shai 
Da'vid's  friend  came  into  the  city;  and  Ab'sa-lom 
came  into  Je-ru'sa-lem.

CHAPTER    XVI. 

Shimei  curseih  David—David  with  patience  abstaineih/rom  revenge. 

AND  "when  Da'vid  was  a  little  past  the  top  of  the  hill, 
behold,  'Zi'ba  the  servant  of  Me-phib'o-sheth  met  him, 
with  a  couple  of  asses  saddled,  and  upon  them  two  hundred 
loaves  of  bread,  and  a  hundred  benches  of  nisins,  and  a 
hundred  of  summer  fruits,  and  a  bottle  of  wine. 

2  And  the  king  said  unto  Zi'ba,  What  meanest  thou  by 
these?  And  Zi'ba  said.  The  asses  be  for  the  king's  house- 
hold to  ride  on;  and  the  bread  and  summer  fruit  for  the 
young  men  to  eat ;  and  the  wine,  "that  such  as  be  faint  in 
the  wilderness  may  drink. 

3  And  the  king  said.  And  where  is  thy  master's  son? 
■'And  Zi'ba  said  unto  the  king,  Behold,  he  abideth  at  Jeru'- 
sa-lem :  for  he  said.  To-day  shall  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
restore  me  the  kingdom  of  my  father. 

4  "Then  said  the  king  to  Zi'ba,  Behold,  thine  are  all  that 
pertained  unto  Me-phib'o-sheth.  And  Zi'ba  said,  fl  hum- 
bly beseech  thee  that  I  may  find  grace  in  thy  sight,  my  lord, 
O  king. 

5  ^And  when  king  Da'vid  came  to  Ba-hu'rim,  behold, 
thence  came  out  a  man  of  the  family  of  the  house  of  Saul, 
whose  name  was  •'^Shim'e-i,  the  son  of  Ge'ra :  ||he  came 
forth,  and  cursed  still  as  he  came. 

6  And  he  cast  stones  at  Da'vid,  and  at  all  the  servants  of 
king  Da'vid :  and  all  the  people  and  all  the  mighty  men 
were  on  his  right  hand  and  on  his  left. 

7  And  thus  said  Shim'e-i  when  he  cursed.  Come  out,  come 
out,  thou  fbloody  man,  and  thou  "man  of  Be'li-al : 

8  The  LoED  hath  ''returned  upon  thee  all  'the  blood  of  the 
house  of  Saul,  in  whose  stead  thou  hast  reigned;  and  the 
Lord  hath  delivered  the  kingdom  into  the  hand  of  Ab'sa-lom 
thy  son :  and,  fbehold,  thou  art  taken  in  thy  mischief,  be- 
cause thou  art  a  bloody  man. 

9  ^Then  said  A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  unto  the 
king,  Why  should  this  *dead  dog  'curse  my  lord  the  king? 
let  me  go  over,  I  pray  thee,  and  take  off  his  head. 

10  And  the  king  said,  "What  have  I  to  do  with  you,  ye 
sons  of  Zer-u-i'ah  ?  so  let  him  curse,  because  "the  Lord  hath 
said  unto  him.  Curse  Da'vid.  "Who  shall  then  say.  Where- 
fore hast  thou  done  so? 

11  And  Da'vid  said  to  A-bish'a-i,  and  to  all  his  servants, 
Behold,  "my  son,  which  "came  forth  of  my  bowels,  seeketh 
my  life :  how  much  more  now  may  this  Ben'ja-mite  do  it  ?  let 
him  alone,  and  let  him  curse ;  for  the  Lord  hath  bidden  him. 

12  It  may  be  that  the  Lord  will  look  on  mine  Ufaffliction, 
and  that  the  Lord  will  'requite  me  good  for  his  cursing 
this  day. 

13  And  as  Da'vid  and  his  men  went  by  the  way,  Shim'e-i 
went  along  on  the  hill's  side  over  against  him,  and  cursed  as 
he  went,  and  threw  stones  at  him,  and  feast  dust. 

14  And  the  king,  and  all  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
came  weary,  and  refreshed  themselves  there. 

15  ^And  "Ab'sa-lom,  and  all  the  peopL  the  men  of  Is'ra-el, 
came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  A-hich'o-phel  with  him. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite,'Da'vid's 
friend,  was  come  unto  ^^b'sa-lom,  that  Hu'shai  said  unto 
Ab'sa-lom,  fGod  save  the  king,  God  save  the  king. 

17  And  Ab'sa-lom  said  to  Hu'shai,  Is  this  thy  kindness 
to  thy  friend?  "why  wentest  thou  not  with  thy  friend? 

18  And  Hu'shai  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  Nay;  but  whom  the 
Lord,  and  this  people,  and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  choose, 
his  will  I  be,  and  with  him  will  I  abide. 

19  And  again,  ""whom  should  I  serve  ?  should  I  not  serve 
in  the  presence  of  his  son  ?  as  I  have  served  in  thy  father's 
presence,  so  will  I  be  in  thy  presence. 

20  ^Then  said  Ab'sa-lom  to  A-hith'o-phel,  Give  counsel 
among  you  what  we  shall  do. 

21  And  A-hith'o-phel  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  Go  in  unto  thy 


J-t)  And  when  Da'vid  was  a  little  past  the  top  of  the 
ascent,  behold,  Zi'ba  the  servant  of  Me-phib'o-sheth 
met  him,  with  a  couple  of  asses  saddled,  and  upon 
them  two  hundred  loaves  of  bread,  and  an  hundred 
clusters  of  raisins,  and  an  hundred  of  summer  fruits, 

2  and  a  'bottle  of  wine.  And  the  king  said  unto  Zi'ba, 
What  meanest  thou  by  these?  And  Zi'ba  said,  The 
asses  be  for  the  king's  household  to  ride  oh ;  and 
the  bread  and  summer  fruit  for  the  young  men  to 
eat ;   and  the  wine,  that  such  as  be  faint  in  the  wil- 

3derness  may  drink.  And  the  king  said.  And  where 
is  thy  master's  son?  And  Zi'ba  said  unto  the  king. 
Behold,  he  abideth  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  he  said.  To- 
day shall  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  restore  me  the  kingdom 

4  of  my  father.  Then  said  the  king  to  Zi'ba,  Behold, 
thine  is  all  that  pertaineth  unto  Me-phib'o-sheth.  And 
Zi'ba  said,  I  do  obeisance ;  let  me  find  favour  in  thy 
sight,  my  lord,  O  king. 

5  And  when  king  Da'vid  came  to  Ba-hu'rim,  behold, 
there  came  out  thence  a  man  of  the  family  of  the 
house  of  Saul,  whose  name  was  Shim'e-i,  the  son  of 
Ge'ra:   he  came  out,  and   cursed  still  as  he  came. 

6  And  he  cast  stones  at  Da'vid,  and  at  all  the  servants 
of  king  Da'vid :  and  all  the  people  and  all  the  mighty 

7  men  were  on  his  right  hand  and  on  his  left.  And 
thus  said  Shim'e-i  when  he  cursed.  Begone,  begone, 

8  thou  man  of  blood,  and  man  of  ^Be'li-al :  the  Lord 
hath  returned  upon  thee  all  the  blood  of  the  house 
of  Saul,  in  whose  stead  thou  hast  reigned ;  and  the 
Lord  hath  delivered  the  kingdom  into  the  hand  of 
Ab'sa-lom  thy  son :  and,  behold,  thou  art  taken  in 
thine  own  mischief,  because  thou  art  a  man  of  blood. 

9  Then  said  A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  unto  the  king. 
Why  should  this  dead  dog  curse  my  lord  the  king  ? 
let  me  go  over,  I  pray  thee,  and  take  off  his  head. 

10  And  the  king  said.  What  have  I  to  do  with  you,  ye 
sons  of  Zer-u-i'ah  ?  'Because  he  curseth,  and  because 
the  Lord  hath  said  unto  him.  Curse  Da'vid;   who 

1 1  then  shall  say.  Wherefore  hast  thou  done  so  ?  And 
Da'vid  said  to  A-bish'a-i,  and  to  all  his  servants. 
Behold,  my  son,  which  came  forth  of  my  bowels, 
seeketh  my  life :  how  much  more  may  this  Ben'- 
ja-mite now  do  it  f  let  him  alone,  and  let  him  curse ; 

12  for  the  Lord  hath  bidden  him.  It  may  be  that  the 
Lord  will  look  on  Hhe  wrong  done  unto  me,  and 
that  the  Lord  will  requite  me  good  for  his  cursing 

13  of  me  this  day.  So  Da'vid  and  his  men  went  by 
the  way :  and  Shim'e-i  went  along  on  the  hill  side 
over  against  him,  and  cursed  as  he  went,  aud  threw 

14  stones  '^at  him,  and  cast  dust.  And  the  king,  and 
all  the  people  that  were  with  him,  came  "weary;  and 
he  refreshed  himself  there. 

15  And  Ab'sa-lom,  and  all  the  people  the  men  of  Is' 
ra-el,  came  t.^  Je-ru'sa-lcm,  and  A-hith'o-phel  with  him 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite,  Da'- 
vid's  friend,  was  come  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  that  Hu'shai 
said  untc  Ab'sa-lom,  ^God  save  the  king,  God  save 

17  the  king.  And  Ab'sa-lom  said  to  Hu'shai,  Is  this  thy 
kindness  to  thy  friend?   why  wentest  thou  not  with 

18  thy  friend?  And  Hu'shai  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  Nay ; 
but  whom  the  Lord,  and  this  people,  and  all  the 
men  of  Is'ra-el  have  chosen,  his  will  I  be,  and  with 

19  him  will  I  abide.  And  again,  whom  should  I 
serve  ?  should  I  not  serve  in  the  presence  of  his  son  ? 
as  I  have  served  in  thy  father's  presence,  so  will  I 

20  be  in  thy  presence.     Then  said  Ab'sa-lom  to  A-hith'- 

21  o-phel,  Give  your  counsel  what  we  shall  do.  And 
A-hith'o-phel  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  Go  in  unto  thy

father's  "concubines,  which  he  hath  left  to  keep  the  house; 
and  all  Is'ra-el  shall  hear  that  thou  'art  abhorred  of  thy  father : 
then  shall  "the  hands  of  all  that  are  with  thee  be  strong. 

22  So  they  spread  Ab'sa-lora  a  tent  upon  the  top  of  the 
house ;  and  Ab'sa-lom  went  in  unto  his  father's  concubines 
''in  the  sight  of  all  Is'ra-el. 

23  And  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel,  which  he  counselled 
in  those  days,  was  as  if  a  man  had  inquired  at  the  foracle 
of  God:  so  was  all  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel  ""both  witlj 
Da'vid  and  with  Ab'sa-lom. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

AhithopheVs  counsel  is  overthrown  by  Hushat's. 

MOREOVER  A-hith'o-phel  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  Let  me 
now  choose  out  twelve  thousand  men,  and  I  will  arise 
and  pursue  after  Da'vid  this  night : 

2  And  I  will  come  upon  him  while  he  is  "weary  and  weak 
handed,  and  will  make  him  afraid:  and  all  the  people  that 
are  with  him  shall  flee ;  and  I  will  'smite  the  king  only  : 

3  And  I  will  bring  back  all  the  people  unto  thee :  the  man 
whom  thou  seekest  is  as  if  all  returned :  so  all  the  people 
shall  be  in  peace. 

4  And  the  saying  fpleased  Ab'sa-lom  well,  and  all  the 
elders  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Then  said  Ab'sa-lom,  Call  now  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite  also, 
and  let  us  hear  likewise  fwhat  he  saith. 

6  And  when  Hu'shai  was  come  to  Ab'sa-lom,  Ab'sa-lom 
spake  unto  him,  saying,  A-hith'o-phel  hath  spoken  after  this 
manner :  shall  we  do  after  his  fsaying  ?  if  not,  speak  thou. 

7  And  Hu'shai  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  The  counsel  that 
A-hith'o-phel  hath  f  given  is  not  good  at  this  time. 

8  For,  said  Hu'shai,  thou  knowest  thy  father  and  his  men, 
that  they  be  mighty  men,  and  they  be  f  chafed  in  their  minds, 
as  "a  bear  robbed  of  her  whelps  in  the  field :  and  thy  father 
is  a  man  of  war,  and  will  not  lodge  with  the  people. 

9  Behold,  he  is  hid  now  in  some  pit,  or  in  some  other  place : 
and  it  will  come  to  pass,  when  some  of  them  be  foverthrown 
at  the  first,  that  whosoever  heareth  it  will  say.  There  is  a 
slaughter  among  the  people  that  follow  Ab'sa-lom. 

10  And  he  also  that  is  valialnt,  whose  heart  is  as  the  heart 
of  a  lion,  shall  utterly  ''melt :  for  all  Is'ra-el  knoweth  that 
thy  father  is  a  mighty  man,  and  they  which  be  with  him  are 
valiant  men. 

11  Therefore  I  counsel  that  all  Is'ra-el  be  generally  gath- 
ered unto  thee,  'from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba,  ■'^as  the  sand 
that  is  by  the  sea  for  multitude ;  and  fthat  thou  go  to  battle 
in  thine  own  person. 

12  So  shall  we  come  upon  him  in  some  place  where  he 
shall  be  found,  and  we  will  light  upon  him  as  the  dew 
falleth  on  the  ground :  and  of  him  and  of  all  the  men  that 
are  with  him  there  shall  not  be  left  so  much  as  one. 

13  Moreover,  if  he  be  gotten  into  a  city,  then  shall  all 
Is'ra-el  bring  ropes  to  that  city,  and  we  will  draw  it  into  the 
river,  until  there  be  not  one  small  stone  found  there. 

14  And  Ab'sa-lom  and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  said.  The 
counsel  of  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite  is  better  than  the  counsel 
of  A-hith'o-phel.  For  "the  Lord  had  fappointed  to  defeat 
the  good  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel,  to  the  intent  that  the 
LoKD  might  bring  evil  upon  Ab'sa-lom. 

15  ^*Then  said  Hu'shai  unto  Za'dok  and  to  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priests.  Thus  and  thus  did  A-hith'o-phel  counsel 
Ab'sa-lom  and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el;  and  thus  and  thus 
have  I  counselled. 

16  Now  therefore  send  quickly,  and  tell  Da'vid,  saying. 
Lodge  not  this  night  'in  the  plains  of  the  wilderness,  but 
speedily  pass  over;  lest  the  king  be  swallowed  up,  and  all 
the  people  that  are  with  him. 

17  *Now  Jon'a-than  and  A-him'a-az  'stayed  by  "En-ro'gel; 
for  they  might  not  be  seen  to  come  into  the  city ;  and  a  wench 
went  and  told  them  ;  and  they  went  and  told  king  Da'vid. 


father's  concubines,  which  he  hath  left  to  keep  the 
house;  and  all  Is'ra-el  shall  hear  that  thou  art  ab- 
horred of  thy  father :  then  shall  the  hands  of  all  that 

22  are  with  thee  be  strong.  So  they  spread  Ab'sa-lom 
a  tent  upon  the  top  of  the  house ;  and  Ab'sa-lom  went 
in   unto  his  father's  concubines  in  the  sight  of  all 

23  Is'ra-el.  And  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel,  which 
he  counselled  in  those  days,  was  as  if  a  man  inquired 
at  the  'oracle  of  God :  so  was  all  the  counsel  of 
A-hith'o-phel  both  with  Da'vid  and  with  Ab'sa-lom. 

4- '  Moreover  A-hith'o-phel  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  Let  me 
now  choose    out  twelve  thousand   men,  and   I    will 

2  arise  and  pursue  after  Da'vid  this  night :  and  I  will 
come  upon  him  while  he  is  weary  and  weak  handed, 
and  will  make  him  afraid:  and  all  the  people  that 
are  with  him  shall   flee;  and  I  will  smite  the  king 

3 only:  and  I  will  bring  back  all  the  people  unto  thee : 
the  man  whom  thou  seekest  is  as  if  all  returned :  so 

4  all  the  people  shall  be  in  peace.  And  the  saying 
pleased  Ab'sa-lom  well,  and  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Then  said  Ab'sa-lom,  Call  now  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite 

6  also,  and  let  us  hear  likewise  what  he  saith.  And 
when  Hu'shai  was  come  to  Ab'sa-lom,  Ab'sa-lom  spake 
unto  him,  saying,  A-hith'o-phel  hath  spoken  after  this 
manner:  shall  we  do  after  his  saying?  if  not,  speak 

7  thou.  And  Hu'shai  said  unto  Ab'sa-lom,  The  coun- 
sel that  A-hith'o-phel  hath  given  this  time  is  not 

8  good.  Hu'shai  said  moreover.  Thou  knowest  thy 
father  and  his  men,  that  they  be  mighty  men,  and 
they  be  ^chafed  in  their  minds,  as  a  bear  robbed  of 
her  whelps  in  the  field :  and  thy  father  is  a  man  of 

9  war,  and  will  not  lodge  with  the  people.  Behold, 
he  is  hid  now  in  some  pit,  or  in  some  other  place  :  and  it 
will  come  to  pass,  %hen  some  of  them  be  fallen  at 
the  first,  that  whosoever  heareth  it  will  say,  There  is 
a  slaughter  among  the  people  that  follow  Ab'sa-lom. 

10  And  even  he  that  is  valiant,  whose  heart  is  as  the 
heart  of  a  lion,  shall  utterly  melt :  for  all  Is'ra-el 
knoweth  that  thy  father  is  a  mighty  man,  and  they 

1 1  which  be  with  him  are  valiant  men.  But  I  counsel 
that  all  Is'ra-efbe  gathered  together  unto  thee,  from 
Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba,  as  the  sand  that  is  by  the 
sea    for    multitude ;    and   Hhat    thou   go    to   battle 

12  in  thine  own  person.  So  shall  we  come  upon 
him  in  some  place  where  he  shall  be  found,  and 
we  will  light  upon  him  as  the  dew  falleth  on 
the  ground :  and  of  him  and  of  all  the  men  that 
are    with    him    we  will  not  leave  so  much  as  one. 

13  Moreover,  if  he  'be  gotten  into  a  city,  then  shall  all 
, Is'ra-el  bring  ropes  to  that  city,  and  we  will  draw  it 
into  the  river,  until  there  be  not  one  small  stone 

14  found  there.  And  Ab'sa-lom  and  all  the  men  of 
Is'ra-el  said,  the  counsel  of  Hu'shai  the  Ar'chite  is 
better  than  the  counsel  of  A-hith'o-phel.  For  the 
Lord  had  ordained  to  defeat  the  good  counsel  of 
A-hith'o-phel,  to  the  intent  that  the  Lord  might 
bring  evil  upon  Ab'sa-lom. 

15  Then  saidHu'shai  unto  Za'dokand  to  A-bi'a-thar  the 
priests.  Thus  and  thus  did  A-hith'o-phel  counsel  Ab'- 
sa-lom and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  thus  and  thus 

16  have  I  counselled.  Now  therefore  send  quickly, 
and  tell  Da'vid,  saying.  Lodge  not  this  night  ^at  the 
fords  of  the  wilderness,  but  in  any  wise  pass  over ; 
lest  the  king  be  swallowed  up,  and  all   the  peqj)le 

17  that  are  with  him.  'Now  Jon'a-than  and  A-him'a-az 
stayed  by  En-ro'gel ;  and  a  maidservant  used  to  go 
and  tell  them ;  and  they  went  and  told  king  Da'vid : 
for  they  might  not  be  seen  to  come  into   the  city.

18  Nevertheless,  a  lad  saw  them,  and  told  Ab'sa-lom :  but 
they  went  both  of  them  away  quickly,  and  came  to  a  man's 
house  "in  Ba-hu'rim,  which  had  a  well  in  his  court ;  whither 
they  went  down. 

19  And  "the  woman  took  and  spread  a  covering  over  the 
well's  mouth,  and  spread  ground  corn  thereon;  and  the 
thing  was  not  known. 

20  And  when  Ab'sa-lom's  servants  came  to  the  woman  to 
the  house,  they  said.  Where  is  A-him'a-az  and  Jon'a-than? 
And  ''the  woman  said  unto  them.  They  be  gone  over  the 
brook  of  water.  And  when  they  had  sought  and  could  not 
find  them,  they  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  they  were  departed,  that  they 
came  up  out  of  the  well,  and  went  and  told  king  Da'vid,  and 
said  unto  Da'vid,  'Arise,  and  pass  quickly  over  the  water : 
for  thus  hath  A-hith'o-phel  counselled  against  you. 

22  Then  Da'vid  arose,  and  all  the  people  that  were  with 
him,  and  they  passed  over  Jor'dan :  by  the  morning  light 
there  lacked  not  one  of  them  that  was  not  gone  over 
Jor'dan. 

23  51  And  when  A-hith'o-phel  saw  that  his  counsel  was  not 
followed,  fhe  saddled  his  ass,  and  arose,  and  gat  him  home 
to  his  house,  to  'his  city,  and  fp^t  his  household  in  order, 
and  'hanged  himself,  and  died,  and  was  buried  in  the  sep- 
ulchre of  his  father. 

24  Then  Da'vid  came  to  'Ma-ha-na'im.  And  Ab'sa-lom 
passed  over  Jor'dan,  he  and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  with  him. 

^5  ^And  Ab'sa-lom  made  Am'a-sa  captain  of  the  host  in- 
stead of  Jo'ab :  which  Am'a-sa  was  a  man's  son  whose  name 
was  II  Ith'ra,  an  Is'ra-el-ite,  that  went  in  to  "fAb'i-gail  the 
daughter  of  jjNa'hash,  sister  to  Zer-u-i'ah,  Jo'ab's  mother. 

26  So  Is'ra-el  and  Ab'sa-lom  pitched  in  the  land  of 
Gil'e-ad. 

27  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Da'vid  was  come  to  Ma- 
ha-na'im,  that  "'Sho'bi  the  son  of  Na'hash  of  Rab'bah  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon,  and  "Ma'chir  the  son  of  Am'mi-el  of 
Lo-de'bar,  and  "Bar-zil'lai  the  Gil'e-ad-ite  of  Ro-ge'lim, 

28  Brought  beds,  and  ||  basins,  and  earthen  vessels,  and 
wheat,  and  barley,  and  flour,  and  parched  corn,  and  beans, 
and  lentiles,  and  parched  puke, 

29  And  honey,  and  butter,  and  sheep,  and  cheese  of 
kine,  for  Da'vid,  and  for  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
to  eat :  for  they  said.  The  people  is  hungry,  and  weary,  and 
thirsty,  "in  the  wilderness. 

CHAPTER  XVIIT. 

Absalom,  hanging  in  an  oak,  is  slain  by  Joab. 

AND  Da'vid  numbered  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
and  set  captains  of  thousands  and  captains  of  hundreds 
over  them. 

2  And  Da'vid  sent  forth  a  third  part  of  the  people  under 
the  hand  of  Jo'ab,  and  a  third  part  under  the  band  of 
A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  Jo'ab's  brother,  "and  a  third 
part  under  the  hand  of  It'ta-i  the  Git'tite.  And  the  king  said 
unto  the  people,  I  will  surely  go  forth  with  you  myself  also. 

3  ''But  the  people  answered.  Thou  shalt  not  go  forth:  for 
if  we  flee  away,  they  will  not  fcare  for  us;  neither  if  half 
of  us  die,  will  they  care  for  us:  but  now  thou  art  fworth 
ten  thousand  of  us :  therefore  now  it  is  better  that  thou 
fsuccour  us  out  of  the  city. 

4  And  the  king  said  unto  them,  What  seemeth  you  best  I 
will  do.  And  the  king  stood  by  the  gate  side,  and  all  the 
people  came  out  by  hundreds  and  by  thousands. 

5  And  the  king  commanded  Jo'ab  and  A-bish'a-i  and  It'ta-i, 
saying,  Deal  gently  for  my  sake  with  the  young  man,  even 
with  Ab'sa-lom.  ""And  all  the  people  heard  when  the  king 
gave  all  the  captains  charge  concerning  Ab'sa-lom. 

6  ^So  the  people  went  out  into  the  field  against  Is'ra-el : 
and  the  battle  was  in  the  ''wood  of  E'phra-im ; 

7  Where  the  people  of  Is'ra-el  were  slain  before  the  servants 


18  But  a  lad  saw  them,  and  told  Ab'sa-lom :  and  they 
went  both  of  them  away  quickly,  and  came  to  the 
house  of  a  man  in  Ba-hu'rim,  who  had  a  well  in  his 

19 court;  and  they  went  down  thither.     And  the  wo 
man  took  and  spread  the  covering  over  the  well's 
mouth,  and  strewed  bruised  corn  thereon ;  and  noth 

20  ing  was  known.  And  Ab'sa-lom's  servants  came  to 
the  woman  to  the  house;  and  they  said.  Where  are 
A-him'a-az  and  Jon'a-than  ?  And  the  woman  said  unto 
them.  They  be  gone  over  the  brook  of  water.  And 
when   they   had   sought  and  could   not  find   them 

21  they  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
after  they  were  departed,  that  they  came  up  out  of 
the  well,  and  went  and  told  king  Da'vid;  and  they 
said  unto  Da'vid,  Arise  ye,  and  pass  quickly  over 
the  water:    for  thus  hath  A-hith'o-phel  counselled 

22  against  you.  Then  Da'vid  arose,  and  all  the  people 
that  were  with  him,  and  they  passed  over  Jor'dan : 
by  the  morning  light  there  lacked  not  one  of  them 

23  that  was  not  gone  over  Jor'dan.  And  when  A-hith'o- 
phel  saw  that  his  counsel  was  not  followed,  he  sad- 
dled his  ass,  and  arose,  and  gat  him  home,  unto  his 
city,  and  set  his  house  in  order,  and  hanged  himself; 
and  he  died,  and  was  buried  in  the  sepulchre  of  his 
father. 

24  Then  Da'vid  came  to  Ma-ha-na'im.  And  Ab'sa-lom 
passed  over  Jor'dan,  he  and  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 

25  with  him.  And  Ab'sa-lom  set  Am'a-sa  over  the  host 
instead  of  Jo'ab.  Now  Am'a-sa  was  the  son  of  a 
man,  whose  name  was  'Ith'ra  the  Is'ra-el-ite,  that 
went  in  to  ^Ab'i-gal  the  daughter  of  Na'hash,  sister 

26  to  Zer-u-i'ah  Jo'ab's  mother.     And  Is'ra-el  and  Ab 
sa-lom  pitched  in  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Da'vid  was  come  to 
Ma-ha-na'im,  that  Sho'bi  the  son  of  Na'hash  of  Rab'bah 
of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  Ma'chir  the  son  of 
Am'mi-el  of  Lo-de'bar,  and  Bar-zil'lai  the  Gil'e-ad-ite 

28  of  Ro-ge'lim,  brought  beds,  and  basons,  and  earthen 
vessels,  and  wheat,  and  barley,  and  meal,  and 
parched   corn,  and   beans,  and    lentils,  and  parched 

29pulse,  and  honey,  and  butter,  and  sheep,  and  cheese 
of  kine,  for  Da'vid,  and  for  the  people  that  were  with 
him,  to  eat :  for  they  said.  The  people  is  hungry, 
and  weary,  and  thirsty,  in  the  wilderness. 

+0  And  Da'vid  numbered  the  people  that  were  with 
him,  and  set  captains  of  thousands  and  captains  of 

2  hundreds  over  them.  And  Da'vid  sent  forth  the 
people,  a  third  part  under  the  hand  of  Jo'ab,  and  a 
third  part  under  the  hand  of  A-bish'a-i  the  son  of 
Zer-u-i'ah,  Jo'ab's  brother,  and  a  third  part  under  the 
hand  of  It'ta-i  the  Git'tite.  And  the  king  said  unto 
the  people,  I  will  surely  go  forth  with  you  myself 

3  also.  But  the  people  said.  Thou  shalt  not  go  forth : 
for  if  we  flee  away,  they  will  not  care  for  us;  neither 
if  half  of  us  die,  will  they  care  for  us :  ^but  thou  art 
worth  ten  thousand  of  us :  therefore  now  it  is  better 
that  thou  be  ready  to  succour  us   out   of  the   city. 

4  And  the  king  said  unto  them.  What  seemeth  you 
best  I  will  do.  And  the  king  stood  by  the  gate 
side,  and  all  the  people  went  out  by  hundreds  and 

5  by  thousands.  And  the  king  commanded  Jo'ab 
and  A-bish'a-i  and  It'ta-i,  saying,  Deal  gently  for  my 
sake  with  the  young  man,  even  with  Ab'sa-lom.  And 
all  the  people   heard  when  the  king  gave  all  the 

6  captains  charge  concerning  Ab'sa-lom.     So  the  peo- 

Ele  went  out  into  the  field  against  Is'ra-el :  and  the 
attle  was  iu  the  forest  of  E'phra-im.     And  the  peo-

of  Da'vid,  and  there  was  there  a  great  slaughter  that  day  of 
twenty  thousand  men. 

8  For  the  battle  was  there  scattered  over  the  face  of  all 
the  country :  and  the  wood  fdevoured  more  people  that 
day  than  the  sword  devoured. 

9  ^And  Ab'sa-lom  met  the  servants  of  Da'vid.  And 
Ab'sa-lom  rode  upon  a  mule,  and  the  mule  went  under  the 
thick  boughs  of  a  great  oak,  and  his  head  caught  hold  of 
the  oak,  and  he  was  taken  up  between  the  heaven  and  the 
earth ;  and  the  mule  that  was  under  him  went  away. 

10  And  a  certain  man  saw  it,  and  told  Jo'ab,  and  said.  Be- 
hold, I  saw  Ab'sa-lom  hanged  in  an  oak. 

11  And  Jo'ab  said  unto  the  man  that  told  him,  And,  be- 
hold, thou  sawest  him,  and  why  didst  thou  not  smite  him 
there  to  the  ground?  and  I  would  have  given  thee  ten 
shekels  of  silver,  and  a  girdle. 

12  And  the  man  said  unto  Jo'ab,  Though  I  should  fre- 
ceive  a  thousand  shekels  of  silver  in  mine  hand,  yet  would 
I  not  put  forth  mine  hand  against  the  king's  son :  "for 
in  our  hearing  the  king  charged  thee  and  A-bish'a-i  and 
It'ta-i,  saying,  f^eware  that  none  touch  the  young  man 
Ab'sa-lom. 

13  Otherwise  I  should  have  wrought  falsehood  against 
mine  own  life :  for  there  is  no  matter  hid  from  the  king, 
and  thou  thyself  wouldest  have  set  thyself  against  me. 

14  Then  said  Jo'ab,  I  may  not  tarry  thus  fwith  thee. 
And  he  took  three  darts  in  his  hand,  and  thrust  them 
through  the  heart  of  Ab'sa-lom,  while  he  was  yet  alive  in 
the  fmidst  of  the  oak. 

15  And  ten  young  men  that  bare  Jo'ab's  armour  com- 
passed about  and  smote  Ab'sa-lom,  and  slew  him. 

16  And  Jo'ab  blew  the  trumpet,  and  the  people  returned 
from  pursuing  after  Is'ra-el :  for  Jo'ab  held  back  the  people. 

17  And  they  took  Ab'sa-lom,  and  cast  him  into  a  great  pit 
in  the  wood,  and  •'^laid  a  very  great  heap  of  stones  upon 
him :  and  all  Is'ra-el  fled  every  one  to  his  tent. 

18  ^Now  Ab'sa-lom  in  his  lifetime  had  taken  and  reared 
up  for  himself  a  pillar,  which  is  in  "the  king's  dale :  for  he 
said,  ''I  have  no  son  to  keep  my  name  in  remembrance: 
and  he  called  the  pillar  after  his  own  name :  and  it  is  called 
unto  this  day,  Ab  sa-lom's  place. 

19  ^Then  said  A-him'a-az  the  son  of  Za'dok,  Let  me  now 
run,  and  bear  the  king  tidings,  how  that  the  LoBD  hath 
favenged  him  of  his  enemies. 

20  And  Jo'ab  said  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  fbear  tidings 
this  day,  but  thou  shalt  bear  tidings  another  day :  but  this 
day  thou  shalt  bear  no  tidings,  because  the  king's  son  is 
dead. 

21  Then  said  Jo'ab  to  Cu'shi,  Go,  tell  the  king  what 
thou  hast  seen.  And  Cu'shi  bowed  himself  unto  Jo^b  and 
ran. 

22  Then  said  A-him'a-az  the  son  of  Za'dok  yet  again  to 
Jo'ab,  But  fhowsoever,  let  me,  I  pray  thee,  also  run  after 
Cu'shi.  And  Jo'ab  said.  Wherefore  wilt  thou  run,  my  son, 
seeing  that  thou  hast  no  tidings  ||  ready? 

2.3  But  howsoever,  said  he,  let  me  run.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Run.  Then  A-him'a-az  ran  by  the  way  of  the  plain, 
and  overran  Cu'shi. 

24  And  Da'vid  sat  between  the  two  gates:  and  the 
watchman  went  up  to  the  roof  over  the  gate  unto  the  wall, 
and  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  looked,  and  behold  a  man  run- 
ning alone. 

25  And  the  watchman  cried,  and  told  the  king.  And  the 
king  said.  If  he  be  alone,  there  is  tidings  in  his  mouth.  And 
he  came  apace,  and  drew  near. 

26  And  the  watchman  saw  another  man  running :  and  the 
watchman  called  unto  the  porter,  and  said,  Behold  another 
man  running  alone.  And  the  king  said,  He  also  bringeth 
tidings. 


of  Da'vid,  and  there  was  a  great  slaughter  there  that 

8  day  of  twenty  thousand  men.  For  the  battle  was 
there  spread  over  the  face  of  all  the  country :  and 
the  forest  devoured  more  people  that  day  than  the 

9  sword  devoured.  And  Ab'sa-lom  chanced  to  meet 
the  servants  of  Da'vid.  And  Ab'sa-lom  rode  upon 
his  mule,  and  the  mule  went  under  the  thick  boughs 
of  a  great  'oak,  and  his  head  caught  hold  of  the  oak, 
and  he  was  taken  up  between  the  heaven  and  the 
earth;   and  the  mule  that   was  under  him  went  on. 

10  And  a  certain  man  saw  it,  and  told  Jo'ab,  and  said, 

11  Behold,  I  saw  Ab'sa-lom  hanging  in  an  oak.  And 
Jo'ab  said  unto  the  man  that  told  him.  And,  behold, 
thou  sawest  it,  and  why  didst  thou  not  smite  him 
there  to  the  ground?  and  I  would  have  given  thee 

12  ten  pieces  of  silver,  and  a  girdle.  And  the  man  said 
unto  Jo'ab,  Though  I  should  receive  a  thousand 
pieces  of  silver  in  mine  hand,  yet  would  I  not  put 
forth  mine  hand  against  the  king's  son :  for  in  our 
hearing  the  king  charged  thee  and  A-bish'a-i  and 
It'ta-i,  saying,  ^Beware  that  none  touch  the  young 

13 man  Ab'sa-lom.  Otherwise  if  I  had  dealt  falsely 
against  'his  life,  (and  there  is  no  matter  hid  from 
the   king,)  then    thou   thyself  Wouldest  have  stood 

14  aloof.  Then  said  Jo'ab,  I  may  not  tarry  thus  with 
thee.  And  he  took  three  'darts  in  his  hand,  and 
thrust  them  through  the  heart  of  Ab'sa-lom,  while  he 

15  was  yet  alive  in  the  midst  of  the  oak.  And  ten 
young    men    that  bare    Jo'ab's    armour    compassed 

16  about  and  smote  Ab'sa-lom,  and  slew  him.  And 
Jo'ab  blew  the  trumpet,  and  the  people  returned 
from  pursuing  after  Is  ra-el :  for  Jo'ao  ^held  back  the 

17  people.  And  they  took  Ab'sa-lom,  and  cast  him 
into  the  great  pit  in  the  forest,  and  raised  over 
him  a  very  great   heap   of  stones:  and  all  Is'ra-el 

18  fled  every  one  to  his  tent.  Now  Ab'sa-lom  in  his 
life  time  had  taken  and  reared  up  for  himself  the 

Eillar,  which  is  in  the  king's  dale:  for  he  said,  I 
ave  no  son  to  keep  my  name  in  remembrance : 
and  he  called  the  pillar  after  his  own  name:  and  it 
is  called  Ab'sa-lom's  monument,  unto  this  day. 

19  Then  said  A-him'a-az  the  son  of  Za'dok,  Let  me 
now   run,  and  bear   the  king  tidings,  how  that  the 

20  Lord  hath  'avenged  him  of  his  enemies.  And  Jo'ab 
said  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  be  the  bearer  of  tidings 
this  day,  but  thou  shalt  bear  tidings  another  day : 
but  this  day  thou  shalt  bear  no  tidings,  because  the 

21  king's  son  is  dead.  Then  said  Jo'ab  to  the  Cu'shite, 
Go  tell   the   king  what  thou   hast   seen.     And  the 

22  Cu'shite  bowed  himself  unto  Jo'ab,  and  ran.  Then 
said  A-him'a-az  the  son  of  Za'dok  yet  again  to  Jo'ab, 
But  come  what  may,  let  me,  I  pray  thee,  also  run 
after  the  Cu'shite.  And  Jo'ab  said.  Wherefore  wilt 
thou  run,  my  son,  seeing  that  thou  *wilt  have  no  re- 

23  ward  for  the  tidings  ?  But  come  what  may,  said  he, 
I  will  run.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Run.  Then 
A-him'a-az  ran  by  the  way  of  the  Plain,  and  overran 
the  Cu'shite. 

24  Now  Da'vid  sat  between  the  two  gates:  and  the 
watchman  went  up  to  the  roof  of  the  gate  unto  the 
wall,  and  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 

25  a  man  running  alone.  And  the  watchman  cried, 
and  told  the  king.  And  the  king  said,  If  he  be 
alone,  there  is  tidings  in  his  mouth.     And  he  came 

26  apace,  and  drew  near.  And  the  watchman  saw  an- 
other man  running:  and  the  watchman  called  unto 
the  porter,  and  said.  Behold,  another  man  running 
alone.     And  the  king  said,  He  also  bringeth  tidings.

27  And  the  watchman  said,  fMethinketh  the  running  of 
the  foremost  is  like  the  running  of  A-him'a-az  the  son  of 
Za'dok.  And  the  king  said,  He  is  a  good  man,  and  cometh 
with  good  tidings. 

28  And  A-him'a-az  called,  and  said  unto  the  king,  ||  fAlI  is 
well.  And  he  fell  down  to  the  earth  upon  his  face  before 
the  king,  and  said.  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
hath  fdelivered  up  the  men  that  lifted  up  their  hand  against 
my  lord  the  king. 

29  And  the  king  said,  fls  the  young  man  Ab'sa-lom  safe  ? 
And  A-him'a-az  answered.  When  Jo'ab  sent  the  king's  serv- 
ant, and  me  thy  servant,  I  saw  a  great  tumult,  but  I  knew 
not  what  it  was. 

30  And  the  king  said  unto  him,  Turn  aside  and  stand  here. 
And  he  turned  aside,  and  stood  still. 

31  And,  behold,  Cu'shi  came;  and  Cu'shi  said,  fTidings, 
my  lord  the  king:  for  the  Lord  hath  avenged  thee  this 
day  of  all  them  that  rose  up  against  thee. 

32  And  the  king  said  unto  Cu'shi,  Is  the  young  man 
Ab'sa-lom  safe  ?  And  Cu'shi  answered,  The  enemies  of  my 
lord  the  king,  and  all  that  rise  against  thee  to  do  thee  hurt, 
be  as  that  young  man  is. 

33  ^And  the  king  was  much  moved,  and  went  up  to  the 
chamber  over  the  gate,  and  wept:  and  as  he  went,  thus  he 
said,  *0  my  son  Ab'sa-lom !  my  son,  my  son  Ab'sa-lom ! 
would  God  I  had  died  for  thee,  O  Ab'sa-lom,  my  son,  my 
son! 

CHAPTER  XIX. 

yoab  causeth  the  king  to  cease  his  mourning. 

AND  it  was  told  Jo'ab,   Behold,  the  king  weepeth  and 
mourneth  for  Ab'sa-lom. 

2  And  the  fvictory  that  day  was  turned  into  mourning 
unto  all  the  people :  for  the  people  heard  say  that  day  how 
the  king  was  grieved  for  his  son. 

3  And  the  people  gat  them  by  stealth  that  day  "into  the  city, 
as  people  being  ashamed  steal  away  when  they  flee  in  battle. 

4  But  the  king  ''covered  his  face,  and  the  king  cried  with 
a  loud  voice,  ""O  my  son  Ab'sa-lom !  O  Ab'sa-lom,  my  son, 
my  son ! 

5  And  Jo'ab  came  into  the  house  to  the  king,  and  said, 
Thou  hast  shamed  this  day  the  faces  of  all  thy  servants, 
which  this  day  have  saved  thy  life,  and  the  lives  of  thy 
sous  and  of  thy  daughters,  aiid  the  lives  of  thy  wives,  and 
the  lives  of  thy  concubines ; 

6  fin  that  thou  lovest  thine  enemies,  and  hatest  thy 
friends.  For  thou  hast  declared  this  day,  fthat  thou  re- 
gardest  neither  princes  nor  servants :  for  this  day  I  perceive, 
that  if  Ab'.sa-lom  had  lived,  and  all  we  had  died  this  day, 
then  it  had  pleased  thee  well. 

7  Now  therefore  arise,  go  forth,  and  speak  fcomfortably 
unto  thy  servants :  for  I  swear  by  the  Lord,  if  thou  go  not 
forth,  there  will  not  tarry  one  with  thee  this  night :  and  that 
will  be  worse  unto  thee  than  all  the  evil  that  befell  thee 
from  thy  youth  until  now. 

8  Then  the  king  arose,  and  sat  in  the  gate.  And  they  told 
unto  all  the  people,  saying.  Behold,  the  king  doth  sit  in  the 
gat«.  And  all  the  people  came  before  the  king :  for  Is'ra-el 
had  fled  every  man  to  his  tent. 

9  ^And  all  the  people  were  at  strife  throughout  all  the 
tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  The  king  saved  us  out  of  the  hand 
of  our  enemies,  and  he  delivered  us  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
Phi-lis'tines  :  and  now  he  is  ''fled  out  of  the  land  for  Ab'sa-lom. 

10  And  Ab'sa-lom,  whom  we  anointed  over  us,  is  dead  in 
battle.  Now  therefore  why  fspeak  ye  not  a  word  of 
bringing  the  king  back  ? 

11  HAnd  king  Da'vid  sent  to  Za'dok  and  to  A-bi'a-thar  the 
priests,  saying.  Speak  unto  the  elders  of  Ju'dah,  saying.  Why 
are  ye  the  last  to  bring  the  king  back  to  his  house?  seeing 
the  speech  of  all  Is'ra-el  is  come  to  the  king,  even  to  his  house. 


27  And  the  watchman  said.  Me  thinketh  the  runiung 
of  the  foremost  is  like  the  running  of  A-him'a-az  the 
son  of  Za'dok.     And  the  king  said.  He  is  a  good 

28  man,  and  cometh  with  good  tidings.  And  A-him'a-az 
called,  and  said  unto  the  king,  'All  is  well.  And  he 
bowed  himself  before  the  king  with  his  face  to  the 
earth,  and  said.  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
hath  delivered  up  the  men  that  lifted  up  their  hand 

29  against  my  lord  the  king.  And  the  king  said,  ^Is  it 
well  with  the  young-man  Ab'sa-lom  ?  And  A-him'a-az 
answered.  When  Jo'ab  sent  the  king's  servant,  ^even 
me  thy  servant,  I  saw  a  great  tumult,  but  I  knew 

30  not  what  it  was.  And  the  king  said.  Turn  aside,  and 
stand  here.     And  he  turned  aside,  and  stood  still. 

31  And,  behold,  the  Cu'shite  came ;  and  the  Cu'shite 
said.  Tidings  for  my  lord  the  king:  for  the  Lord 
hath  avenged  thee  this  day  of  all  them  that  rose  up 

32  against  thee.  And  the  king  said  unto  the  Cu'shite, 
Is  it  well  with  the  young  man  Ab'sa-lom  ?  And  the 
Cu'shite  answered.  The  enemies  of  my  lord  the  king, 
and  all  that  rise  up  against  thee  to  do  thee  hurt,  be 

33 as  that  young  man  is.  And  the  king  was  much 
moved,  and  went  up  to  the  chamber  over  the  gate, 
and  wept:  and  as  he  went,  thus  he  said,  O  my  son 
Ab'sa-lom,  my  son,  my  son  Ab'sa-lom !  would  God  I 
had  died  for  thee,  O  Ab'sa-lom,  my  son,  my  son ! 

-ly      And  it  was  told  Jo'ab,  Behold,  the  king  weepeth 

2  and  mourneth  for  Ab'sa-lom.  And  the  Mctory  that 
day  was  turned  into  mourning  unto  all  the  people : 
for  the  people  heard  say  that  day.  The  king  grieveth 

3  for  his  son.  And  the  people  gat  them  by  stealth 
that  day  into  the  city,  as  people  that  are  ashamed 

4  steal  away  when  they  flee  in  battle.  And  the  king 
covered  his  face,  and  the  king  cried  with  a  loud  voice. 
O  my  son  Ab'sa-lom,  O  Ab'sa-lom,  my  son,  my  son  I 

5  And  Jo'ab  came  into  the  house  to  the  king,  and  said. 
Thou  hast  shamed  this  day  the  faces  of  all  thy 
servants,  which  this  day  have  saved  thy  life,  and  the 
lives  of  thy  sons  and  of  thy  daughters,  and  the  lives 

6  of  thy  wives,  and  the  lives  of  thy  concubines ;  in 
that  thou  lovest  them  that  hate  thee,  and  hatest  them 
that  love  thee.  For  thou  hast  declared  this  day,  that 
princes  and  servants  are  nought  unto  thee :  for  this 
day  I  perceive,  that  if  Ab'sa-lom  had  lived,  and  all  we 
had    died   this  day,  then  it  had  pleased  thee  well. 

7  Now  therefore  arise,  go  forth,  and  speak  comfortably 
unto  thy  servants :  for  I  swear  by  the  Lord,  if  thou 
go  not  forth,  there  will  not  tarry  a  man  with  thee 
this  night:  and  that  will  be  worse  unto  thee  than 
all  the  evil  that  hath  befallen  thee  from  thy  youth 

8  until  now.  Then  the  king  arose,  and  sat  in  the  gate. 
And  they  told  unto  all  the  people,  saying.  Behold, 
the  king  doth  sit  in  the  gate:  and  all  the  people 
came  before  the  king. 

9  Now  Is'ra-el  had  fled  every  man  to  his  tent.  And 
all  the  people  were  at  strife  throughout  all  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  The  king  delivered  us  out  of  the 
hand  of  our  enemies,  and  he  saved  us  out  of  the 
hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines ;  and  now  he  is  fled  out  of 

10  the  land  from  Ab'sa-lom.  And  Ab'sa-lom,  whom  we 
anointed  over  us,  is  dead  in  battle.  Now  therefore 
why  speak  ye  not  a  word  of  bringing  the  king  back? 

11  And  king  Da'vid  sent  to  Za'dok  and  to  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priests,  saying.  Speak  unto  the  elders  of  Ju'- 
dah, saying.  Why  are  ye  the  last  to  bring  the  king 
back  to  his  house?  seeing  the  speech  of  all  Is'ra-el 
is  come  to  the  king,   to   bring   him   to   his   house.

12  Ye  are  my  brethren,  ye  are  'my  bones  and  my  flesh: 
wherefore  then  are  ye  the  last  to  bring  back  the  king? 

13  -^And  say  ye  to  Am'a-sa,  Art  thou  not  of  my  bone,  and  of 
my  flesh  ?  'God  do  so  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  thou  be  not 
captain  of  the  host  before  me  continually  in  the  room  of  Jo'ab. 

14  And  he  bowed  the  heart  of  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  ''even 
as  the  heart  of  one  man ;  so  that  they  sent  this  word  unto 
the  king,  Return  thou,  and  all  thy  servants. 

15  So  the  king  returned,  and  came  to  Jor'dan.  And  Ju'dah 
came  to  'Gil'gal,  to  go  to  meet  the  king,  to  conduct  the  king 
over  Jor'dan. 

16  ^And  *Shim'e-i  the  son  of  Ge'ra,  a  Ben'ja-mite,  which 
was  of  Ba-hu'rim,  hasted  and  came  down  with  the  men  of 
Ju'dah  to  meet  king  Da'vid. 

17  And  there  were  a  thousand  men  of  Ben'ja-min  with  him, 
and  'Zi'ba  the  servant  of  the  house  of  Saul,  and  his  fifteen 
sons  and  his  twenty  servants  with  him ;  and  they  went  over 
Jor'dan  before  the  king. 

18  And  there  went  over  a  ferry  boat  to  carry  over  the 
king's  household,  and  to  do  fwhat  he  thought  good.  And 
Shim'e-i  the  son  of  Ge'ra  fell  down  before  the  king,  as  he 
was  come  over  Jor'dan ; 

19  And  said  unto  the  king,  "Let  not  my  lord  impute  in- 
iquity unto  me,  neither  do  thou  remember  "that  which  thy 
servant  did  perversely  the  day  that  my  lord  the  king  went 
out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  the  king  should  "take  it  to  his  heart. 

20  For  thy  servant  doth  know  that  I  have  sinned ;  there- 
fore, behold,  I  am  come  the  first  this  day  of  all  "the  house 
of  Jo'seph  to  go  down  to  meet  my  lord  the  king. 

21  But  A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  answered  and  said, 
Shall  not  Shim'e-i  be  put  to  death  for  this,  because  he 
'cursed  the  Lord's  anointed? 

22  And  Da'vid  said,  'What  have  I  to  do  with  you,  ye  sons 
of  Zer-u-i'ah,  that  ye  should  this  day  be  adversaries  unto  me  ? 
'shall  there  any  man  be  put  to  death  this  day  in  Is'ra-el  ?  for 
do  not  I  know  that  I  am  this  day  king  over  Is'ra-el  ? 

23,  Therefore  the  king  said  unto  Shim'e-i,  Thou  shalt  not 
die.     And  the  king  sware  unto  him. 

24  ^And  "Me-phib'o-sheth  the  son  of  Saul  came  down  to 
meet  the  king,  and  had  neither  dressed  his  feet,  nor  trimmed 
his  beard,  nor  washed  his  clothes,  from  the  day  the  king 
departed  until  the  day  he  came  again  in  peace. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem 
to  meet  the  king,  that  the  king  said  unto  him,  "'Wherefore 
wentest  not  thou  with  me,  Me-phib'o-sheth? 

26  And  he  answered,  My  lord,  O  king,  my  servant  deceived 
me :  for  thy  servant  said,  I  will  saddle  me  an  ass,  that  I  may 
ride  thereon,  and  go  to  the  king;  because  thy  servant  is  lame. 

27  And  "he  hath  slandered  thy  servant  unto  my  lord  the 
king ;  'but  my  lord  the  king  is  as  an  angel  of  God :  do 
therefore  what  is  good  in  thine  eyes. 

28  For  all  of  my  father's  house  were  but  fdead  men 
before  my  lord  the  king:  "yet  didst  thou  set  thy  servant 
among  them  that  did  eat  at  thine  own  table.  What  right 
therefore  have  I  yet  to  cry  any  more  unto  the  king? 

29  And  the  king  said  unto  him.  Why  speakest  thou  any 
more  of  thy  matters?  I  have  said.  Thou  and  Zi'ba  divide 
the  land. 

30  And  Me-phib'o-sheth  said  unto  the  king.  Yea,  let  him 
take  all,  forasmuch  as  my  lord  the  king  is  come  again  in 
peace  unto  his  own  house. 

31  ^And  'Bar-zil'la-i  the  Gil'e-ad-ite  came  down  from  Ro- 
ge'lim,  and  went  over  Jor'dan  with  the  king,  to  conduct  him 
over  Jor'dan. 

32  Now  Bar-zil'la-i  was  a  very  aged  man,  even  fourscore 
years  old:  and  "he  had  provided  the  king  of  sustenance 
while  he  lay  at  Ma-ha-na'im ;  for  he  was  a  very  great  man. 

33  And  the  king  said  unto  Bar-zil'la-i.  Come  thou  over 
with  me,  and  I  will  feed  thee  with  me  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


12  Ye  are  my  brethren,  ye  are  my  bone  and  my  flesh 
wherefore  then  are  ye  the  last  to  bring  back  the 

13  king  ?  And  say  ye  to  Am'a-sa,  Art  thou  not  my  bone 
and  my  flesh  ?  God  do  so  to  me,  and  more  also,  if 
thou  be  not  captain  of  the  host  before  me  continually 

14  in  the  room  of  Jo'ab.  And  he  bowed  the  heart  of 
all  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  even  as  the  heart  of  one  man ; 
so  that  they  sent  unto  the  king,  saying,  Return  thou, 

15  and  all  thy  servants.  So  the  king  returned,  and 
came  to  Jor'dan.  And  Ju'dah  came  to  Gil'gal,  to  go 
to  meet  the  king,  to  bring  the  king  over  Jor'dan. 

1 6  And  Shim'e-i  the  son  of  Ge'ra,  the  Ben'ja-mite,  which 
was  of  Ba-hu'rim,  hasted  and  came  down  with  the 

17  men  of  Ju'dah  to  meet  king  Da'vid.  And  there  were 
a  thousand  men  of  Ben'ja-min  with  him,  and  Zi'ba  the 
servant  of  the  house  of  Saul,  and  his  fifteen  sons 
and  his  twenty  servants  with  him;    and  they  went 

18  through  Jor'dan  in  the  presence  of  the  king.  And 
there  went  over  'a  ferry  boat  to  bring  over  the  king's 
household,  and  to  do  what  he  thought  good.  And 
Shim'e-i  the  son  of  Ge'ra  fell  down  before  the  king, 

19  when  he  %as  come  over  Jor'dan.  And  he  said  unto 
the  king,  Let  not  my  lord  impute  iniquity  unto  me, 
neither  do  thou  remember  that  which  thy  servant 
did  perversely  the  day  that  my  lord  the  king  went 
out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  the  king  should  take  it  to  his 

20  heart.  For  thy  servant  doth  know  that  I  have  sinned : 
therefore,  behold,  I  am  come  this  day  the  first  of  all 
the  house  of  Jo'seph  to  go  down  to  meet  my  lord  the 

21  king.  But  A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  answered 
and  said,  Shall  not  Shim'e-i  be  put  to  death  for  this, 

22  because  he  cursed  the  Lord's  anointed?  And  Da'vid 
said.  What  have  I  to  do  with  you,  ye  sons  of  Zer-u- 
i'ah,  that  ye  should  this  day  be  adversaries  unto  me? 
shall  there  any  man  be  put  to  death  this  day  in  Is'- 
ra-el ?  for  do  not  I  know  that  I  am  this  day  king  over 

23  Is'ra-el?  A  nd  the  king  said  unto  Shim'e-i,  Thou  shalt 
not  die.     And  the  king  sware  unto  him. 

24  And  Me-phib'o-sheth  the  son  of  Saul  came  down 
to  meet  the  king;  and  he  had  neither  dressed  his 
feet,  nor  trimmed  his  beard,  nor  washed  his  clothes, 
from  the  day  the  king  departed  until  the  day  he  came 

25  home  in  peace.  And  it  came  to  pass,  'when  he  was 
come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  meet  the  king,  that  the  king 
said  unto  him,  Wherefore  wentest  not  thou  with  me, 

26  Me-phib'o-sheth?  And  he  answered.  My  lord,  O  king, 
my  servant  deceived  me :  for  thy  servant  said,  I  will 
saddle  me  an  ass,  that  I  may  ride  thereon,  and  go 

•27*with  the  king;  because  thy  servant  is  lame.  And 
he  hath  slandered  thy  servant  unto  my  lord  the  king ; 
but  my  lord  the  king  is  as  'an  angel  of  God:    do 

28  therefore  what  is  good  in  thine  eyes.  For  all  my 
father's  house  were  but  Mead  men  before  my  lord 
the  king:  yet  didst  thou  set  thy  servant  among  them 
that  did  eat  at  thine  own  table.  What  right  there- 
fore have  I  yet  that  I  should  cry  any  more  unto  the 

29  king?  And  the  king  said  unto  him.  Why  speakest 
thou  any  more  of  thy  matters?     I  say,  Thou  and 

30  Zi'ba  divide  the  land.  And  Me-phib'o-sheth  said  unto 
the  king.  Yea,  let  him  take  all,  forasmuch  as  my  lord 
the  king  is  come  in  peace  unto  his  own  house. 

31  And  Bar-zil'la-i  tne  Gil'e-ad-ite  came  down  from 
Ro-ge'lim ;  and  he  went  over  Jor'dan  with  the  king, 

32  to  conduct  him  over  Jor'dan.  Now  Bar-zil'la-i  was  a 
very  aged  man,  'even  fourscore  years  old :  and  he 
had  provided  the  king  with  sustenance  while  he  lay 

33  at  Ma-ha-na'im ;  for  he  was  a  very  great  man.  And 
the  king  said  unto  Bar-zil'la-i,  Come  thou  over  with 
me,  and  I  will  sustain  thee  with  me  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.

34  And  Bar-zil'la-i  said  unto  the  king,  fHow  long  have  I 
to  live,  that  I  should  go  up  with  the  king  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem? 

35  I  am  this  day  ''fourscore  years  old :  and  can  I  discern 
between  good  and  evil?  can  thy  servant  taste  what  I  eat  or 
what  I  drink?  can  I  hear  any  more  the  voice  of  singing 
men  and  .singing  women?  wherefore  then  should  thy  serv- 
ant be  yet  a  burden  unto  my  lord  the  king? 

36  Thy  servant  will  go  a  little  way  over  Jor'dan  with  the 
king:  and  why  should  the  king  recompense  it  me  with 
such  a  reward? 

37  Let  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee,  turn  back  again,  that  I 
may  die  in  mine  own  city,  and  be  buried  by  the  grave  of  my 
father  and  of  my  mother.  But  behold  thy  servant  'Chim'- 
ham;  let  him  go  over  with  my  lord  the  king;  and  do  to 
him  what  shall -seem  good  unto  thee. 

38  And  the  king  answered,  Chim'ham  shall  go  over  with 
me,  and  I  will  do  to  him  that  which  shall  seem  good  unto 
thee  :  and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  frequire  of  me,  that  will  I 
do  for  thee. 

39  And  all  the  people  went  over  Jor'dan.  And  when  the 
king  was  come  over,  the  king  -'^  kissed  Bar-zil'la-i,  and  blessed 
him :  and  he  returned  unto  his  own  place. 

40  Then  the  king  went  on  to  Gil'gal,  and  fChim'ham  went 
on  with  him:  and  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah  conducted  the 
king,  and  also  half  the  people  of  Is'ra-el. 

41  ^And,  behold,  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  came  to  the  king, 
and  said  unto  the  king,  Why  have  our  brethren  the  men 
of  Ju'dah  stolen  thee  away,  and  "have  brought  the  king, 
and  his  household,  and  all  Da'vid's  men  with  him,  over 
Jor'dan  ? 

42  And  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah  answered  the  men  of  Is'ra-el, 
Because  the  king  is  ''near  of  kin  to  tis:  wherefore  then  be 
ye  angry  for  this  matter  ?  have  we  eaten  at  all  of  the  king's 
cost?   or  hath  he  given  us  any  gift? 

43  And  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  answered  the  men  of  Ju'dah, 
and  said,  We  have  ten  parts  in  the  king,  and  we  have  also 
more  right  in  Da'vid  than  ye  :  why  then  did  ye  fdespise  us, 
that  our  advice  should  not  be  first  had  in  bringing  back 
our  king?  And  'the  words  of  the  men  of  Ju'dah  were 
fiercer  than  the  words  of  the  men  of  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XX. 

By  occasion  of  the  quarrel  Sheba  maketh  a  party  in  Israel. 

AND  there  happened  to  be  there  a  man  of  Be'li-al,  whose 
name  was  She'ba,  the  son  of  Bich'ri,  a  Ben'ja-mite: 
and  he  blew  a  trumpet,  and  said,  "We  have  no  part  in 
Da'vid,  neither  have  we  inheritance  in  the  son  of  Jes'se : 
*every  man  to  his  tents,  O  Is'ra-el. 

2  So  every  man  of  Is'ra-el  went  up  from  after  Da'vid,  and 
followed  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri :  but  the  men  of  Ju'dah 
clave  unto  their  king,  from  Jor'dan  even  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  ^And  Da'vid  came  to  his  house  at  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and 
the  king  took  the  ten  women  his  "^concubines,  whom  he  had 
left  to  keep  the  house,  and  put  them  in  •  fward,  and  fed 
them,  but  went  not  in  unto  them.  So  they  were  fshut  up 
unto  the  day  of  their  death,  fliving  in  widowhood. 

4  •[[Then  said  the  king  to  Am'a-sa,  ''f  Assemble  me  the 
men  of  Ju'dah  within  three  days,  and  be  thou  here  present. 

5  So  Am'a-sa  went  to  assemble  the  men  of  Ju'dah  :  but 
he  tarried  longer  than  the  set  time  which  he  had  appointed 
him. 

6  And  Da'vid  said  to  A-bish'a-i,  Now  shall  She'ba  the  son 
of  Bich'ri  do  us  more  harm  than  did  Ab'sa-lom :  take  thou 
'thy  lord's  servants,  and  pursue  after  him,  lest  he  get  him 
fenced  cities,  and  fescape  us. 

7  And  there  went  out  after  him  Jo'ab's  men,  and  the 
■^Cher'eth-ites,  and  the  Pe'leth-ites,  and  all  the  mighty  men : 
and  they  went  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  pursue  after  She'ba  the 
son  of  Bich'ri. 


34  And  Bar-zil'la-i  said  unto  the  king,  How  many  are 
the  days  of  the  years  of  my  life,  that  I  should  go  up 

35  with  the  king  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem?  I  am  this  day  four- 
score years  old:  can  I  discern  between  good  and 
bad  ?  can  thy  servant  taste  what  I  eat  or  what  I 
drink  ?  can  I  hear  any  more  the  voice  of  singing 
men  and  singing  women?  wherefore  then  should 
thy  servant  be  yet  a  burden  unto  my  lord  the  king? 

36  Thy  servant  would  but  just  go  over  Jor'dan  with  the 
king:   and  why  should  the  king  recompense  it  me 

37  with  such  a  reward  ?  Let  thy  servant,  I  pray  thee, 
turn  back  again,  that  I  may  die  in  mine  own  city,  by 
the  grave  of  my  father  and  my  mother.  But  be- 
hold, thy  servant  Chim'ham ;  let  him  go  over  with 
my  lord  the  king;    and  do  to  him  what  shall  seem 

38  good  unto  thee.  And  the  king  answered,  Chim'ham 
shall  go  over  with  me,  and  I  will  do  to  him  that 
which  shall  seem  good  unto  thee:  and  whatsoever 
thou  shalt  'require  of  me,  that  will  I  do  for  thee. 

39  And  all  the  people  went  over  Jor'dan,  and  the  king 
went  over :  and  the  king  kissed  Bar-zil'la-i,  and 
blessed  him;    and  he  returned  unto  his  own  place 

40  So  the  king  went  over  to  Gil'gal,  and  Chim'ham 
went  over  with  him :  and  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah 
brought  the  king   over,  and   also   half  the   people 

41  of  Is'ra-el.  And,  behold,  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  came 
to  the  king,  and  said  unto  the  king,  Why  have  our 
brethren  the  men  of  Ju'dah  stolen  thee  away,  and 
brought  the  king,  and  his  household,  over  Jor'dan, 

42  and  all  Da'vid's  men  with  him  ?  And  all  the  men 
of  Ju'dah  answered  the  men  of  Is'ra-el,  Because  the 
king  is  near  of  kin  to  us :  wherefore  then  be  ye 
angry  for  this  matter?   have  we  eaten  at  all  of  the 

43  king's  cost  ?  or  hath  he  given  us  any  gift  ?  And 
the  men  of  Is'ra-el  answered  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and 
said.  We  have  ten  parts  in  the  king,  and  we  have 
also  more  right  in  Da'vid  than  ye :  why  then  did  ye 
despise  us,  ^that  our  advice  should  not  be  first  had 
in  bringing  back  our  king  ?  And  the  words  of  the 
men  of  Ju'dah  were  fiercer  than  the  words  of  the  men 
of  Is'ra-el. 

'H  V  And  there  happened  to  be  there  a  man  of  ^Be'li-al, 
whose  name  was  She'ba,  the  son  of  Bich'ri,  a  Ben'- 
ja-mite :  and  he  blew  the  trumpet,  and  said.  We 
have  no  portion  in  Da'vid,  neither  have  we  inher- 
itance in  the  son  of  Jes'se :  every  man  to  his  tents, 

2  O  Is'ra-el.  So  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  went  up  from 
following  Da'vid,  and  followed  She'ba  the  son  of 
Bich'ri :  but  the  men  of  Ju'dah  clave  unto  their  king, 
from  Jor'dan  even  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  Da'vid  came  to  his  house  at  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and 
the  king  took  the  ten  women  his  concubines,  whom 
he  had  left  to  keep  the  house,  and  put  them  in  ward, 
and  provided  them  with  sustenance,  but  went  not  in 
unto  them.  So  they  were  shut  up  unto  the  day  of 
their  death,  ^living  in  widowhood. 

4  Then  said  the  king  to  Am'a-sa,  Call  me  the  men  of 
Ju'dah  together  within  three  days,  and  be  thou  here 

5  present.  So  Am'a-sa  went  to  call  the  men  of  Ju'dah  to- 
gether :  but  he  tarried  longer  than  the  set  time  which 

6  he  had  appointed  him.  And  Da'vid  said  to  A-bish'a-i, 
Now  shall  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri  do  us  more  harm 
than  did  Ab'sa-lom:  take  thou  thy  lord's  servants, and 
pursue  after  him,  lest  he  get  him  fenced  cities,  and 

7  escape  out  of  our  sight.  And  there  went  out  after 
him  Jo'ab's  men,  and  the  Cher'eth-ites  and  the  Pe'leth- 
ites,  and  all  the  mighty  men  :  and  they  went  out  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  pursue  after  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri,

8  WheD  tbey  were  at  the  great  stone  which  is  in  Gib'e-on, 
Am'a-sa  went  before  them.  And  Jo'ab*s  garment  that  he  had 
put  on  was  girded  unto  him,  and  upon  it  a  girdle  with  a 
sword  fastened  upon  his  loins  in  the  sheath  thereof;  and  as 
he  went  forth  it  fell  out. 

9  And  Jo'ab  said  to  Am'a-sa,  Art  thou  in  health,  my 
brother  ?  "And  Jo'ab  took  Am'a-sa  by  the  beard  with  the 
right  hand  to  kiss  him. 

10  But  Am'a-sa  took  no  heed  to  the  sword  that  was  in 
Jo'ab's  hand :  so  ''he  smote  him  therewith  'in  the  fifth  rib, 
and  shed  out  his  bowels  to  the  ground,  and  fstruck  him 
qot  again ;  and  he  died.  So  Jo'ab  and  A-bish'a-i  his  brother 
pursued  after  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri. 

11  And  one  of  Jo'ab's  men  stood  by  him,  and  said.  He  that 
favoureth  Jo'ab,  and  he  that  is  for  Da' vid,  let  him  go  after  Jo'ab. 

12  And  Am'a-sa  wallowed  in  blood  in  the  midst  of  the 
highway.  And  when  the  man  saw  that  all  the  people  stood 
still,  he  removed  Am'a-sa  out  of  the  highway  into  the  field, 
and  cast  a  cloth  upon  him,  when  he  saw  that  every  one  that 
came  by  him  stood  still. 

13  When  he  was  removed  out  of  the  highway,  all  the  people 
went  on  after  Jo'ab,  to  pursue  after  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri. 

14  ^And  he  went  through  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  unto 
*A'bel,  and  to  Beth-ma'a-chah,  and  all  the  Be'rites:  and  they 
were  gathered  together,  and  went  also  after  him. 

15  And  they  came  and  besieged  him  in  A'bel  of  Beth- 
ma'a-chah,  and  they  'cast  up  a  bank  against  the  city,  and  ||  it 
stood  in  the  trench :  and  all  the  people  that  were  with  Jo'ab 
fbattered  the  wall,  to  throw  it  down. 

16  ^Then  cried  a  wise  woman  out  of  the  city.  Hear,  hear; 
say,  I  pray  you,  unto  Jo'ab,  Come  near  hither,  that  I  may 
speak  with  thee. 

17  And  when  he  was  come  near  unto  her,  the  woman  said, 
Art  thou  Jo'ab?  And  he  answered,  I  am  he.  Then  she 
said  unto  him.  Hear  the  words  of  thine  handmaid.  And  he 
answered,  I  do  hear. 

18  Then  she  spake,  saying,  ||They  were  wont  to  speak  in 
old  time,  saying.  They  shall  surely  ask  counsel  at  A'bel :  and 
so  they  ended  the  matter. 

19  1  am  one  of  them  that  are  peaceable  and  faithful  in  Is'ra-el : 
thou  seekest  to  destroy  a  city  and  a  mother  in  Is'ra-el :  why 
wilt  thou  swallow  up  ""the  inheritance  of  the  Lord  ? 

20  And  Jo'ab  answered  and  said.  Far  be  it,  far  be  it  from 
me,  that  I  should  swallow  up  or  destroy. 

21  The  matter  is  not  so :  but  a  man  of  mount  E'pbra-im, 
She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri  fby  name,  hath  lifted  up  his  hand 
against  the  king,  even  against  Da'vid :  deliver  him  only,  and  I 
will  depart  from  the  city.  And  the  woman  said  unto  Jo'ab, 
Behold,  his  head  shall  be  thrown  to  thee  over  the  wall. 

22  Then  the  woman  went  unto  all  the  people  "in  her  wis- 
dom :  and  they  cut  off  the  head  of  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri, 
and  cast  it  out  to  Jo'ab.  And  he  blew  a  trumpet,  and  they 
fretired  from  the  city,  every  man  to  his  tent.  And  Jo'ab 
returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the  king. 

23  ^Now  "Jo'ab  was  over  all  the  host  of  Is'ra-el :  and 
Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  was  over  the  Cher'eth-ites, 
and  over  the  Pe'leth-ites : 

24  And  A-do'ram  was  "over  the  tribute :  and  «Je-hosh'a- 
phat  the  son  of  A-hi'lud  was  ||  recorder: 

25  And  She'va  was  scribe :  and  "^Za'dok  and  A-bi'a-thar 
were  the  priests : 

26  'And  I'ra  also  the  Ja'i-rite  was  ||a  chief  ruler  about 
Da'vid.  ,

The  three  years'  famine  for  the  Gibeonites. 

THEN  there  was  a  famine  in  the  days  of  Da'vid  three 
years,  year  after  year ;  and  fDa'vid  inquired  of  the  Lord. 
And  the  Lord  answered,  It  is  for  Saul,  and  for  his  bloody 
house,  because  he  slew  the  Gib'e-on-ites. 


8  When  they  were  at  the  great  stone  which  is  in 
Gib'e-on,  Am'a-sa  came  to  meet  them.  And  Jo'ab 
was  girded  with  his  apparel  of  war  that  he  had 
put  on,  and  thereon  was  a  girdle  with  a  sword 
fastened  upon  his  loins  in  the  sheath  thereof;  and 

9  as  he  went  forth  it  fell  out.  And  Jo'ab  said  to 
Am'a-sa,  Is  it  well  with  thee,  my  brother?  And 
Jo'ab  took   Am'a-sa    by    the  beard    with  his  right 

10  hand  to  kiss  him.  But  Am'a-sa  took  no  heed  to  the 
sword  that  was  in  Jo'ab's  hand :  so  he  smote  him 
therewith  in  the  belly,  and  shed  out  his  bowels  to 
the  ground,  and  struck  him  not  again ;  and  he  died. 
And  Jo'ab  and  A-bish'a-i  his  brother  pursued  after 

11  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri.  And  there  stood  by 
him  one  of  Jo'ab's  young  men,  and  said,  He  that 
favoureth  Jo'ab,  and  he  that  is  for  Da'vid,  let  him 

12  follow  Jo'ab.  And  Am'a-sa  lay  wallowing  in  his 
blood  in  the  midst  of  the  high  way.  And  when 
the  man  saw  that  all  the  people  stood  still,  he  car- 
ried Am'a-sa  out  of  the  high  way  into  the  field,  and 
cast  a  garment  over  him,  when  he  saw  that  every 

13  one  that  came  by  him  stood  still.  When  he  was 
removed  out  of  the  high  way,  all  the  people  went 
on  after  Jo'ab,  to  pursue  after   She'ba  the   son   of 

14  Bich'ri.  And  he  went  through  all  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el  unto  A'bel,  and  to  Beth-ma'a-cah,  and  all  the 
Be'rites :  and  they  were  gathered  together,  and  went 

15  also  after  him.  And  they  came  and  besieged  him 
in  A'bel  of  Beth-ma'a-cah,  and  they  cast  up  a  mount 
against  the  city,  and  it  stood  against  the  rampart : 
and  ail  the  people  that  were  with  Jo'ab  'battered  the 

16  wall,  to  throw  it  down.  Then  cried  a  wise  woman 
out  of  the  cit_,'.  Hear,  hear;  say,  I  pray  you,  unto 
Jo'ab,   Come    near  hither,  that   I  may  speak  with 

17 thee.  And  he  came  near  unto  her;  and  the 
woman  said.  Art  thou  Jo'ab?  And  he  answered, 
I  am.  Then  she  said  unto  him.  Hear  the  words 
of  thine   handmaid.     And   he  answered,  I  do  hear. 

18  Then  she  spake,  saying,  They  were  wont  to  speak 
in  old  time,  saying,  They  shall   surely  ask  counsel 

19 at  A'bel:  and  so  they  ended  the  matter.  I  am  of 
them  that  are  peaceable  and  faithful  in  Is'ra-el :  thou 
seekest  to  destroy  a  city  and  a  mother  in  Is'ra-el :  why 
wilt  thou  swallow  up  the  inheritance  of  the  Lord  ? 

20  And  Jo'ab  answered  and  said.  Far  be  it,  far  be  it  from 

21  me,  that  I  should  swallow  up  or  destroy.  The  mat- 
ter is  not  so:  but  a  man  of  the  hill  country  of 
E'phra-im,  She'ba  the  son  of  Bich'ri  by  name,  hath 
lifted  up  his  hand  against  the  king,  even  against 
Da'vid :  deliver  him  only,  and  I  will  depart  from  the 
city.     And  the  woman  said  unto  Jo'ab,  Behold,  his 

22  head  shall  be  thrown  to  thee  over  the  wall.  Then  the 
woman  went  unto  all  the  people  in  her  wisdom.  And 
they  cut  off  the  head  of  She'ba  the  sou  of  Bich'ri,  and 
threw  it  out  to  Jo'ab.  And  he  blew  the  trumpet,  and 
they  were  dispersed  from  the  city,  every  man  to  his 
tent.  And  Jo  ab  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the  king. 

23  Now  Jo'ab  was  over  all  the  host  of  Is'ra-el :  and 
Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  was  over  the  ^Cher'- 

24eth-itesand  over  the  Pe'leth-ites:  and  A-do'ram  was 

over  the  tribute :    and    Je-hosh'a-phat    the  son  of 

25 A-hi'lud  was  the  ^recorder:  and  She'va  was  'scribe: 

26 and  Za'dok  and  A-bi'a-thar  were  priests:  and  I'ra 

also  the  Ja'i-rite  was  'priest  unto  Da'vid. 

^*-  And  there  was  a  famine  in  the  days  of  Da'vid  three 
years,year  after  year;  andDa'vid  sought  the  face  of  the 
Lord.  And  the  Lord  said.  It  is  for  Saul,  and  for  his 
bloody  house,  because  he  put  to  death  the  Gib'e-on-ites.

2  And  tke  king  called  the  Gib'e-on-ites,  and  said  unto 
them;  (now  the  Gib'e-on-ites  were  not  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  but  "of  the  remnant  of  the  Am'o-rites;  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  had  sworn  unto  them :  and  Saul  sought  to 
slay  them,  in  his  zeal  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah:) 

3  Wherefore  Da'vid  said  unto  the  Gib'e-on-ites,  What 
shall  I  do  for  you  ?  and  wherewith  shall  I  make  the  atone- 
ment, that  ye  may  bless  ""the  inheritance  of  the  Lord  ? 

4  And  the  Gib'e-on-ites  said  unto  him,  ||  We  will  have  no 
silver  nor  gold  of  Saul,  nor  of  his  house ;  neither  for  us  shalt 
thou  kill  any  man  in  Is'ra-el.  And  he  said,  What  ye  shall 
say,  that  will  I  do  for  you. 

5  And  they  answered  the  king,  The  man  that  con- 
sumed us,  and  that  ||  devised  against  us  that  we  should 
be  bestroyed  from  remaining  in  any  of  the  coasts  of 
Is'ra-el, 

6  Let  seven  men  of  his  sons  be  delivered  unto  us,  and  we 
will  hang  them  up  unto  the  Lord  "in  Gib'e-ah  of  Saul, 
''\\whom  the  Lord  did  choose.  And  the  king  said,  I  will 
give  them. 

7  But  the  king  spared  Me-phib'o-sheth,  the  son  of  Jon'a- 
than  the  son  of  Saul,  because  of  'the  Lord's  oath  that  was 
between  them,  between  Da'vid  and  Jon'a-than  the  son 
of  Saul. 

8  But  the  king  took  the  two  sons  of  •'^Riz'pah  the  daughter 
of  A'iah,  whom  she  bare  unto  Saul,  Ar-mo'ni  and  Me-phib'o- 
sheth;  and  the  five  sons  of  ||Mi'chal  the  daughter  of  Saul, 
whom  she  fbrought  up  for  A'dri-el  the  son  of  Bar-zil'la-i  the 
Me-hol'ath-ite : 

9  And  he  delivered  them  into  the  hands  of  the  Gib'e-on- 
ites,  and  they  hanged  them  in  the  hill  "before  the  Lord: 
and  they  fell  all  seven  together,  and  were  put  to  death  in 
the  days  of  harvest,  in  the  first  days,  in  the  beginning  of 
barley  harvest. 

10  ^And  *Riz'pah  the  daughter  of  A'iah  took  sackcloth, 
and  spread  it  for  her  upon  the  rock,  'from  the  beginning  of 
harvest  until  water  dropped  upon  them  out  of  heaven,  and 
suffered  neither  the  birds  of  the  air  to  rest  on  them  by  day, 
nor  the  beasts  of  the  field  by  night. 

11  And  it  was  told  Da'vid  what  Riz'pah  the  daughter  of 
A'iah,  the  concubine  of  Saul,  had  done. 

12  ^And  Da'vid  went  and  took  the  bones  of  Saul  and  the 
bones  of  Jon'a-than  his  son  from  the  men  of  *Ja'besh- 
gil'e-ad,  which  had  stolen  them  from  the  street  of  Beth-shan, 
where  the  'Phi-lis'tines  had  hanged  them,  when  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines  had  slain  Saul  in  Gil-bo'a : 

13  And  he  brought  up  from  thence  the  bones  of  Saul  and 
the  bones  of  Jon'a-than  his  son:  and  they  gathered  the 
bones  of  them  that  were  hanged. 

14  And  the  bones  of  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  his  son  buried 
they  in  the  country  of  Ben'ja-min  in  "Ze'lah,  in  the  sepul- 
chre of  Kish  his  father :  and  they  performed  all  that  the 
king  commanded.  And  after  that  "God  was  entreated  for 
the  land. 

15  ^Moreover  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  yet  war  again  with 
Is'ra-el :  and  Da'vid  went  down,  and  his  servants  with  him, 
and  fought  against  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  Da'vid  waxed 
faint. 

16  And  Ish-bi-be'nob,  which  was  of  the  sons  of  ||the 
giant,  the  weight  of  whose  fspear  weighed  three  hundred 
shekels  of  brass  in  weight,  he  being  girded  with  a  new  sword, 
thought  to  have  slain  Da'vid. 

17  But  A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  succoured  him, 
and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tine,  and  killed  him.  Then  the  men 
of  Da'vid  sware  unto  him,  saying,  "Thou  shalt  go  no  more 
out  with  us  to  battle,  that  thou  quench  not  the  "flight  of 
Is'ra-el. 

18  'And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  there  was  again 
a  battle  with  the  Phi-lis'tines  at  Gob :    then  'Sib'be-chai 


2  And  the  king  called  the  Gib'e-on-ites,  and  said  unto 
them ;  (now  the  Gib'e-on-ites  were  not  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,  but  of  the  remnant  of  the  Am'o

them :  and  Saul  sought  to  slay  them  in  his  zeal  for 

3  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah  :)  and  Da'vid  said 
unto  the  Gib'e-on-ites,  What  shall  I  do  for  you?  and 
wherewith   shall  I  make  atonement,  that   ye   may 

4 bless  the  inheritance  of  the  Lord?     And  the  Gib'e 
on-ites  said  unto  him,  It  is  no  matter  of  silver  or 
gold  between  us  and  Saul,  or  his  house ;  'neither  is  it 
for  us  to  put  any  man  to  death  in  Is'ra-el.     And  he 

5  said,  What  ye  shall  say,  that  will  I  do  for  you.  And 
they  said  unto  the  king.  The  man  that  consumed  us, 
and  that  devised  against  us,  Hhat  we  should  be 
destroyed  from  remaining  in  any  of  the  borders  of 

6  Is'ra-el,  let  seven  men  of  his  sons  be  delivered  unto 
us,  and  we  will  hang  them  up  unto  the  Lord  in 
Gib'e-ah  of  Saul,  the  chosen  of  the  Lord.     And  the 

7  king  said,  I  will  give  them.  But  the  king  spared 
Me-phib'o-sheth,  the  son  of  Jon'a-than  the  son  of 
Saul,  because  of  the  Lord's  oath  that  was  between 
them,  between   Da'vid   and   Jon'a-than    the  son  of 

8  Saul.  But  the  king  took  the  two  sons  of  Riz'pah  the

Ar-mo'ni  and  Me-phib'o-sheth ;  and  the  five  sons  of 
^Mi'chal   the   daughter  of  Saul,  whom  she  bare  to 

9  A'dri-el  the  son  of  Bar-zil'la-i  the  Me-hol'ath-ite :  and  he 
delivered  them  into  the  hands  of  the  Gib'e-on-ites,  and 
they  hanged  them  in  the  mountain  before  the  Lord, 
and  they  fell  all  seven  together :  and  they  were  put  to 
death  in  the  days  of  harvest,  in  the  first  days,  at  the 

10  beginning  of  barley  harvest.  And  Riz'pah  the 
daughter  of  A'iah  took  sackcloth,  and  spread  it  for

11  And  it  was  told  Da'vid  what  Riz'pah  the  daughter  of 

12  A'iah,  the  concubine  of  Saul,  had  done.  And  Da'vid

brought  up  from  thence  the  bones  of  Saul  and  the 
bones  of  Jon'a-than  his  son ;  and  they  gathered  the 

14  bones  of  them  that  were  hanged.  And  they  buried 
the  bones  of  Saul  and  Jon'a-than  his  sou  in  the  coun- 
try of  Ben'ja-min  in  Ze'la,  in  the  sepulchre  of  Kish 
his  father:  and  they  performed  all  that  the  king

the  Hu'shath-ite  slew  ||  Saph,  which  wasot  the  sons  of  ||  the

tines,  where  El-ha'nanthe  son  of  ||  Ja-ar'e-or'e-gim,  a  Beth'-

of  whose  spear  waa  like  a  weaver's  beam. 

20  And  'there  was  yet  a  battle  in  Gath,  where  was  a  man 
of  great  stature,  that  had  on  every  hand  six  fingers,  and  on 
every  foot  six  toes,  four  and  twenty  in  number ;  and  he  also 
was  born  to  ||the  giant. 

21  And  when  he  ||  defied  Is'ra-el,  Jon'a-than  the  son  of 
"Shim'e-ah  the  brother  of  Da'vid  slew  him.

CHAPTER  XXII. 

A  psalm  of  thanksgiving  for  God^s  powerful  deliverance. 

AND  Da'vid  "spake  unto  the  Loed  the  words  of  this 
song,  in  the  day  that  the  Lord  had  ''delivered  him  out 
of  the  hand  of  all  his  enemies,  and  out  of  the  hand  of 
Saul: 

2  And  he  said,  "The  Lord  is  my  rock,  and  my  fortress, 
and  my  deliverer ; 

3  The  God  of  my  rock ;  ''in  him  will  I  trust :  he  is 
my  'shield,  and  the  •''horn  of  my  salvation,  my  high  "tower,

4  I  will  call  on  the  Lord,  who  is  worthy  to  be  praised : 
so  shall  I  be  saved  from  mine  enemies. 

5  When  the  ||  waves  of  death  compassed  me,  the  floods 
of  tungodly  men  made  me  afraid ; 

6  The  II 'sorrows  of  hell  compassed  me  about;  the  snares 
of  death  prevented  me. 

7  In  my  distress  *I  called  upon  the  Lord,  and  cried  to  my 
God :  and  he  did  'hear  my  voice  out  of  his  temple,  and  my 
cry  did  enter  into  his  ears. 

8  Then  ""the  earth  shook  and  trembled;  "the  foundations 
of  heaven  moved  and  shook,  because  he  was  wroth. 

9  There  went  up  a  smoke  fout  of  his  nostrils,  and  "fire 
out  cf  his  mouth  devoured :  coals  were  kindled  by  it. 

10  He  ''bowed  the  heavens  also,  and  came  down ;  and 
'darkness  was  under  his  feet. 

11  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub,  and  did  fly:  and  he  was 
seen  'upon  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

12  And  he  made  'darkness  pavilions  round  about  him, 
fdark  waters,  and  thick  clouds  of  the  skies. 

13  Through  the  brightness  before  him  were  'coals  of  fire 
kindled. 

14  The  Lord  "thundered  from  heaven,  and  the  Most  High 
uttered  his  voice. 

15  And  he  sent  out  "'arrows,  and  scattered  them ;  lightning, 
and  discomfited  them. 

16  And  the  channels  of  the  sea  appeared,  the  founda- 
tions of  the  world  were  discovered,  at  the  "rebuking  of  the 
Lord,  at  the  blast  of  the  breath  of  his  ||  nostrils. 

17  'He  sent  from  above,  he  took  me ;  he  drew  mo  out  of 
II  many  waters : 

18  "He  delivered  me  from  my  strong  enemy,  and  from  them 
that  hated  me :  for  they  were  too  strong  for  me. 

19  They  prevented  mc  in  the  day  of  my  calamity :  but  the 
Lord  was  my  stay. 

20  'He  brought  me  forth  also  into  a  large  place:  he  de- 
livered me,  because  he  "delighted  in  me.

ness ;  according  to  the  'cleanness  of  my  hands  hath  he 
recompensed  me. 


the  Hu'shath-ite  slew  'Saph,  which  was  of  the  sons 

19  of  the  ^giant.  And  there  was  again  war  with  the 
Phi-lis'tines  at  Gob;  and  El-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ja-ar'e- 

.  or'e-gim  the  Beth'-le-hem-ite  slew  'Go-li'ath  the  Git'tite, 
the  staff  of  whose  spear  was  like  a  weaver's  beam. 

20  And  there  was  again  war  at  Gath,  where  was  a  man 
of  great  stature,  that  had  on  every  hand  six  fingers, 
and  on  every  foot  six  toes,  four  and  twenty  in  num- 

21ber;  and  he  also  was  born  to  the  ^giant.  And 
when  he  'defied  Is'ra-el,  Jon'a-than  the  son  of  'Shim'e-i 

22  Da'vid's  brother  slew  him.  These  four  were  born 
to  the  ^giant  in  Gath ;  and  they  fell  by  the  hand  of 
Da'vid,  and  by  the  hand  of  his  servants. 

■^-4  «And  Da'vid  spake  unto  the  Lord  the  words  of 
this  song  in  the  day  that  the  Lord  delivered  him 
out  of  the  hand  of  all  his  enemies,  and  out  of  the 

2  hand  of  Saul :  and  he  said. 

The  Lord  is  my  rock,  and  my  fortress,  and  my 
deliverer,  even  mine ; 

3  The  God  of  my  rock,  in  him  will  I  trust ; 

My  shield,  and   the    horn  of  my    salvation,  my 

high  tower,  and  my  refuge ; 
My  saviour,  thou  savest  me  from  violence. 

4  I  will  call  upon  the  Lord,  who  is  worthy  to  be  praised: 
So  shall  I  be  saved  from  mine  enemies. 

5  For  the  waves  of  death  compassed  me. 
The  floods  of  'ungodliness  made  me  afraid. 

6  The  cords  of  *Sheol  were  round  about  me : 
The  snares  of  death  came  upon  me. 

7  In  my  distress  I  called  upon  the  Lord, 
Yea,  I  called  unto  my  God : 

And  he  heard  my  voice  out  of  his  temple, 
And  my  cry  came  into  his  ears. 

8  Then  the  earth  shook  and  trembled, 
The  foundations  of  heaven  moved 

And  were  shaken,  because  he  was  wroth. 

9  There  went  up  a  smoke  'out  of  his  nostrils, 
And  fire  out  of  his  mouth  devoured : 
Coals  were  kindled  by  it. 

10  He  bowed  the  heaven  also,  and  came  down ; 
And  thick  darkness  was  under  his  feet. 

11  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub,  and  did  fly : 
Yea,  he  was  seen  upon  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

12  And  he  made  darkness  pavilions  round  about  him. 
Gathering  of  waters,  thick  clouds  of  the  skies. 

13  At  the  brightness  before  him 
Coals  of  fire  were  kindled. 

14  The  Lord  thundered  from  heaven. 
And  the  Most  High  uttered  his  voice. 

15  And  he  sent  out  arrows,  and  scattered  them ; 
Lightning,  and  discomfited  them. 

16  Then  the  channels  of  the  sea  appeared. 
The  foundations  of  the  world  were  laid  bare, 
By  the  rebuke  of  the  Lord, 

At  the  blast  of  the  breath  of  his  nostrils. 

17  He  sent  from  on  high,  he  took  me ; 
He  drew  me  out  of '"many  waters; 

18  He  delivered  me  from  my  strong  enemy. 

From  them  that  hated  me:  for  they  were  too  mighty 
for  me.

But  the  Lord  was  my  stay.

22  For  I  have  ■'^kept  the  ways  of  the  LosD,  and  have  not 
wickedly  departed  from  my  God. 

23  For  all  his  "judgments  were  before  me :  and  as  Jo/r  his 
statutes,  I  did  not  depart  from  them. 

24  I  was  also  *upright  fbefore  him,  and  have  kept  myself 
from  mine  iniquity. 

25  Therefore  'the  Loed  hath  recompensed  me  accord- 
ing to  my  righteousness;  according  to  my  cleanness  fin 
his  eyesight. 

26  With  *the  merciful  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  merciful,  and 
with  the  upright  man  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  upright. 

27  With  the  pure  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  pure ;  and  'with 
the  froward  thou  wilt  ||shew  thyself  unsavoury. 

28  And  the  "afflicted  people  thou  wilt  save :  but  thine 
eyes  are  upon  "the  haughty,  that  thou  mayest  bring  ihem 
down. 

29  For  thou  art  my  ||lamp,  O  Lord:  and  the  Lord  will 
lighten  my  darkness. 

30  For  by  thee  I  have  ||  run  through  a  troop :  by  my  God 
have  I  leaped  over  a  wall. 

31  As  for  God,  "his  way  is  perfect;  "the  word  of  the 
Lord  is  || tried:  he  is  a  buckler  to  all  them  that  trust 
in  him. 

32  For  «who  is  God,  save  the  Lord?  and  who  is  a  rock, 
save  our  God? 

33  God  is  my  'strength  and  power;  and  he  fmaketh  my 
way  'perfect. 

34  He  fmaketh  my  feet  "like  hinds'  /ee<;  and  ''setteth  me 
upon  my  high  places.  • 

35  "He  teacheth  my  hands  fto  war ;  so  that  a  bow  of  steel 
is  broken  by  mine  arms. 

36  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the  shield  of  thy  salvation: 
and  thy  gentleness  hath  fmade  me  great. 

37  Thou  hast  'enlarged  my  steps  under  me;  so  that  my 
ffeet  did  not  slip. 

38  I  have  pursued  mine  enemies,  and  destroyed  them ;  and 
turned  not  again  until  I  had  consumed  them. 

39  And  I  have  consumed  them,  and  wounded  them,  that 
they  could  not  arise :  yea,  they  are  fallen  "under  my  feet. 

40  For  thou  hast  'girded  me  with  strength  to  battle: 
"them  that  rose  up  against  me  hast  thou  fsubdned  un- 
der me. 

41  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the  ''necks  of  mine  enemies, 
that  I  might  destroy  them  that  hate  me. 

42  They  looked,  but  there  was  none  to  save ;  even  "unto  the 
Lord,  but  he  answered  them  not. 

43  Then  did  I  beat  them  as  small  ■'as  the  dust  of  the  earth : 
I  did  stamp  them  "as  the  mire  of  the  street,  and  did  spread 
them  abroad. 

44  ''Thou  also  hast  delivered  me  from  the  strivings  of  my 
people,  thou  hast  kept  me  to  be  'head  of  the  heathen:  *a 
people  which  I  knew  not  shall  serve  me. 

45  fStrangers  shall  ||  fsubmit  themselves  unto  me  :  as  soon 
as  they  hear,  they  shall  be  obedient  unto  me. 

46  Strangers  shall  fade  away,  and  they  shall  be  afraid  'out 
of  their  close  places. 

47  The  Lord  liveth ;  and  blessed  be  my  rock ;  and  exalted 
be  the  God  of  the  "rock  of  my  salvation. 

48  It  is  God  that  favengeth  me,  and  that  "bringeth  down 
the  people  under  me, 

49  And  that  bringeth  me  forth  from  mine  enemies :  thou 
also  hast  lifted  me  up  on  high  above  them  that  rose  up  against 
me:  thou  hast  delivered  me  from  the  "violent  man. 


22  For  I  have  kept  the  ways  of  the  Lord, 

And  have  not  wickedly  departed  from  my  God. 

23  For  all  his  judgements  were  before  me : 

And  as  for  his  statutes,  I  did  not  depart  from  them 

24  I  was  also  perfect  toward  him. 

And  I  kept  myself  from  mine  iniquity. 

25  Therefore  hath  the  Lord  recompensed  me  accord- 

ing to  my  righteousness; 
According  to  my  cleanness  in  his  eyesight. 

26  With  the  merciful  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  merciful. 
With  the  perfect  man  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  perfect; 

27  With  the  pure  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  pure ; 

And  with  the  perverse  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  'fro- 
ward. 

28  And  the  afflicted  people  thou  wilt  save : 
But  thine  eyes  are  upon  the  haughty,  ^that  thou 

mayest  bring  them  down. 

29  For  thou  art  my  lamp,  O  Lord: 

And  the  Lord  will  lighten  my  darkness. 

30  For  by  thee  I  run  'upon  a  troop: 
By  my  God  do  I  leap  over  a  wall. 

31  As  for  God,  his  way  is  perfect : 
The  word  of  the  Lord  is  tried ; 

He  is  a  shield  unto  all  them  that  trust  in  him. 

32  For  who  is  God,  save  the  Lord  ? 
And  who  is  a  rock,  save  our  God  ? 

33  God  is  my  strong  fortress: 

And  he  *guideth  the  perfect  in  his  way. 

34  He  maketh  'his  feet  like  hinds'  feet : 
And  setteth  me  upon  my  high  places. 

35  He  teacheth  my  hands  to  war; 

So  that  mine  arms  do  bend  a  bow  of  brass. 

36  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the  shield  of  thy  salvation 
And  thy  'gentleness  hath  made  me  great. 

37  Thou  hast  enlarged  my  steps  under  me, 
And  my  'feet  have  not  slipped. 

38  I  have  pursued  mine  enemies,  and  destroyed  them ; 
Neither  did  I  turn  again  till  they  were  consumed. 

39  And  I  have  consumed   them,    and    smitten    them 

through,  that  they  cannot  arise : 
Yea,  they  are  fallen  under  my  feet. 

40  For  thou  hast  girded  me  with  strength    unto  the 

battle : 
Thou  hast  ^subdued  under  me  those  that  rose  up 
against  me. 

41  Thou  hast  also  made  mine  enemies  turn  their  backs 

unto  me. 
That  I  might  cut  off  them  that  hate  me. 

42  They  looked,  but  there  was  none  to  save; 
Even  unto  the  Lord,  but  he  answered  them  not. 

43  Then  did  I  beat  them  small  as  the  dust  of  the  earth, 
I  did  stamp  them  as  the  mire  of  the  streets,  and  did 

spread  them  abroad. 

44  Thou  also  hast  delivered  me  from  the  strivings  of 

my  people; 
Thou  "hast  kept  me  to  be  the  head  of  the  nations : 
A  people  whom  I  have  not  known  shall  serve  me. 

45  The  strangers  shall  '"submit  themselves  unto  me: 
As  soon  as  they  hear  of  me,  they  shall  obey  me. 

46  The  strangers  shall  fade  away. 

And  shall  "come  trembling  out  of  their  close  places. 

47  The  Lord  liveth ;  and  blessed  be  my  rock ; 

And  exalted  be  the  God  of  the  rock  of  my  salvation : 

48  Even  the  God  that  executeth  vengeance  for  me, 
And  bringeth  down  peoples  under  me, 

49  And  that  bringeth  me  forth  from  mine  enemies : 
Yea,  thou  liftest  me  up  above  them  that  rise  up 

against  me : 
Thou  deliverest  me  from  the  violent  man.

4  And  -^he  shall  be  as  the  light  of  the  morning,  when 
the  sun  riseth,  even  a  morning  without  clouds ;  as  the  ten- 
der grass  springing  out  of  the  earth  by  clear  shining  after 
rain. 

5  Although  my  house  be  not  so  with  God;  "yet  he  hath 
made  with  me  an  everlasting  covenant,  ordered  in  all  things, 
and  sure  :  for  this  is  all  my  salvation,  and  all  my  desire, 
although  he  make  it  not  to  grow. 

6  l[But  the  sons  of  Be'li-al  shall  be  all  of  them  as 
thorns  thrust  away,  because  they  cannot  be  taken  with 
hands : 

7  But  the  man  that  shall  touch  them  must  be  ffenced 
with  iron  and  the  staff  of  a  spear ;  and  they  shall  be  utterly 
burned  with  fire  in  the  same  place. 

8  ^These  be  the  names  of  the  mighty  men  whom  Da'vid 
had  :  jj  The  Tach'mo-nite  that  sat  in  the  seat,  chief  among 
the  captains;  the  same  was  Ad'i-no  the  Ez'nite:  \\he  lifted 
up  his  spear  against  eight  hundred,  fwhom  he  slew  at 
one  time. 

9  And  after  him  was  *E-le-a'zar  the  son  of  Do'do  the  A-ho'- 
hite,  one  of  the  three  mighty  men  with  Da'vid,  when  they 
defied  the  Phi-lis'tines  that  were  there  gathered  together  to 
battle,  and  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  were  gone  away  : 

10  He  arose,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tines  until  his  hand  was 
weary,  and  his  hand  clave  unto  the  sword :  and  the  Lord 
wrought  a  great  victory  that  day ;  and  the  people  returned 
after  him  only  to  spoil. 

11  And  after  him  was  'Sham'mah  the  son  of  Ag'e-e  the 
Ha'ra-rite.  *And  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  gathered  together 
II  into  a  troop,  where  was  a  piece  of  ground  full  of  lentiles : 
and  the  people  fled  from  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

12  But  he  stood  in  the  midst  of  the  ground,  and  defended 
it,  and  slew  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  the  Lord  wrought  a  great 
victory. 

13  And  'II  three  of  the  thirty  chief  went  down,  and  came 
to  Da'vid  in  the  harvest  time  unto  ""the  cave  of  A-dul'lam  : 
and  the  troop  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  pitched  in  "the  valley  of 
Reph'a-im. 

14  And  Da'vid  was  then  in  a  "hold,  and  the  garrison  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines  was  then  in  Beth'-le-hem. 

15  And  Da'vid  longed,  and  said,  Oh  that  one  would  give 
me  drink  of  the  water  of  the  well  of  Beth'-le-hem,  which  is 
by  the  gate ! 

16  And  the  three  mighty  men  brake  through  the  host  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  drew  water  out  of  the  well  of  Beth'- 
le-hem,  that  was  by  the  gate,  and  took  it,  and  brought  it  to 
Da'vid :  nevertheless  he  would  not  drink  thereof,  but  poured 
it  out  unto  the  Lord. 

17  And  he  said.  Be  it  far  from  me,  O  Lord,  that  I  should 
do  this :  is  not  this  "the  blood  of  the  men  that  went  in 
jeopardy  of  their  lives?  therefore  he  would  not  drink  it. 
These  things  did  these  three  mighty  men.

Therefore  I  will  give  thanks  unto  thee,  O  Lord, 

among  the  nations, 
And  will  sing  praises  unto  thy  name. 
'Great  deliverance  giveth  he  to  his  king : 
And  sheweth  lovingkindness  to  his  anointed, 
To  Da'vid  and  to  his  seed,  for  evermore. 

^*5     Now  these  be  the  last  words  of  Da'vid. 
Da'vid  the  son  of  Jes'se  saith. 
And  the  man  who  was  raised  on  high  saith, 
The  anointed  of  the  God  of  Ja'cob, 
And  Hhe  sweet  psalmist  of  Is'ra-el : 

2  The  spirit  of  the  Lord  spake  *by  me, 
And  his  word  was  upon  my  tongue. 

3  The  God  of  Is'ra-el  said, 

The  Rock  of  Is'ra-el  spake  to  me  : 
"One  that  ruleth  over  men  'righteously. 
That  ruleth  in  the  fear  of  God, 

4  He  shall  be  as  the  light  of  the  morning  when  the 

sun  riseth, 
A  morning  without  clouds ; 
When  the  tender  grass  springeth  out  of  the  earth, 
Through  clear  shining  after  rain. 

5  'Verily  my  house  is  not  so  with  God ; 

Yet  he  hath  made  with  me  an  everlasting  covenant. 
Ordered  in  all  things,  and  sure  : 
For  it  is  all  my  salvation,  and  all  my  desire. 
Although  he  maketh  it  not  to  grow. 

6  But  'the  ungodly  shall  be  all  of  them  as  thorns  to 

be  thrust  away. 
For  they  cannot  be  taken  with  the  hand : 

7  But  the  man  that  toucheth  them 

Must  be  'armed  with  iron  and  the  staff  of  a  spear ; 
And  they  shall  be  utterly  burned  with  fire  in  their 
place. 

8  '"These  be  the  names  of  the  mighty  men  whom  Da'- 
vid had :  " Jo'sheb-bas'she-beth  a  Tah'che-mon-ite,  chief 
of  the  captains ;  the  same  was  Ad'i-no  the  Ez'nite,  against 

9  eight  hundred  slain  at  one  time.  And  after  him  was 
E-le-a'zartheson  of  Do'daithe  son  of  an  A-ho'hite,  one 
of  the  three  mighty  men  with  Da'vid,  when  they  de- 
fied the  Phi-lis'tines  that  were  there  gathered  together 

10  to  battle,  and  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  '%ere  gone  away :  he 
arose,  and  smote  the  Phi-lis'tines  until  his  hand  was 
weary,  and  his  hand  clave  unto  the  sword  :  and  the 
Lord  wrought  a  great  '^victory  that  day ;  and  the  peo- 

11  pie  returned  after  him  only  to  spoil.  And  after  him 
was  Sham'mah  the  son  of  Ag'e-e  a  Ha'ra-rite.  And 
the  Phi-lis'tines  were  gathered  together  '^into  a  troop, 
where  was  a  plot  of  ground  full  of  lentils ;  and  the 

12  people  fled  from  the  Phi-lis'tines.  But  he  stood  in  the 
midst  of  the  plot,  and  defended  it,  and  slew  the  Phi-lis'- 

13  tines:  and  the  Lord  wrought  a  great  '^victory.  And 
three  ofthe  thirty  chief  went  down,  and  cameto  Da'vid 
in  the  harvest  time  unto  the  cave  of  A-dul'lam ;  and  the 
troop  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  encamped  in  the  valley  of 

14  Repn'a-im.  And  Da'vid  was  then  in  the  hold,  and  the 
garrison  ofthe  Phi-lis'tines  was  then  in  Beth'-le-hem. 

15  And  Da'vid  longed,  and  said,  Oh  that  one  would  give 
me  water  to  drink  ofthe  well  of  Beth'-le-hem,  which 

16 is  by  the  gate!  And  the  three  mighty  men  brake

not  drink  thereof,  but  poured  it  out  unto  the  Lord. 

17  And  he  said,  Be  it  far  from  me,  O  Lord,  that  I 
should  do  this:  shall  I  drink  the  blood  of  the  men  that 
went  "in  jeopardy  of  their  lives  ?  therefore  he  would 
not  drink  it.    These  things  did  the  three  mighty  men.

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

David,  tempted  by  Satan,  forceth  Joab  to  number  the  people. 

AND  "again  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
Is'ra-el,  and  ||  he  moved  Da'vid  against  them  to  say,  'Go, 
number  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah. 

2  For  the  king  said  to  Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the  host,  which 
was  with  him,  ||Go  now  through  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el, 
"from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba,  and  number  ye  the  people, 
that  ''I  may  know  the  number  of  the  people. 

3  And  Jo'ab  said  unto  the  king.  Now  the  Lord  thy  God 
add  unto  the  people,  how  many  soever  they  be,  a  hundred- 
fold, and  that  the  eyes  of  my  lord  the  king  may  see  it :  but 
wiiy  doth  my  lord  the  king  delight  in  this  thing? 

4  Notwithstanding  the  king's  word  prevailed  against  Jo'ab, 
and  against  the  captains  of  the  host.  And  Jo'ab  and  the 
captains  of  the  host  went  out  from  the  presence  of  the 
king,  to  number  the  people  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  ^And  they  passed  over  Jor'dan,  and  pitched  in  'Ar'o-er, 
on  the  right  side  of  the  city  that  lieth  in  the  midst  of  the 
II  river  of  Gad,  and  toward -'^Ja'zer : 

6  Then  they  came  to  Gil'e-ad,  and  to  the  jj  land  of  Tah'tim- 
hod'shi ;  and  they  came  to  "Dan-ja'an,  and  about  to  *Zi'don, 

7  And  came  to  the  strong  hold  of  Tyre,  and  to  all  the 
cities  of  the  Hi'vites,  and  of  the  Ca'naan-ites :  and  they  went 
out  to  the  south  of  Ju'dah,  even  to  Be'er-she'ba. 

8  So  when  they  had  gone  through  all  the  land,  they  came 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem  at  the  end  of  nine  months  and  twenty  days. 


18  And  A-bish'a-i,  the  brother  of  Jo'ab,  the  son  of  Zer- 
u-i'ah,  was  chief  of  the  three.  And  he  lifted  up  his 
spear  against  three  hundred  'and  slew  them,  and  had 

19  a  name  among  the  three.  Was  he  not  most  hon- 
ourable of  the  three?  therefore  he  was  made  their 
captain :  howbeit  he  attained  not  unto  \k\&  first  three. 

20  And  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  the  son  of  ^a 
valiant  man  of  Kab'ze-el,  who  had  done  mighty  deeds, 
he  slew  the  two  sons  q/"  A'ri-el  of  Mo'ab :  he  went  down 
also  and  slew  a  lion  in  the  midst  of  a  pit  in  time  of 

21  snow :  and  he  slew  an  E-gyp'tian,  a  goodly  man : 
and  the  E-gyp'tian  had  a  spear  in  his  hand ;  but  he 
went  down  to  him  with  a  staff,  and  plucked  the 
spear  out  of  the  E-gyp'tian's  hand,  and  slew  him  with 

22  his  own  spear.  These  things  did  Be-na'iah  the  son 
of  Je-hoi'a-da,  and  had  a  name  among  the  three  mightv 

23  men.  He  was  more  honourable  than  the  thirty, 
but  he  attained  not  to  ikis.  first  three.  And  Da'vid 
set  him  over  his  'guard. 

24  A'sa-hel  the  brother  of  Jo'ab  was  one  of  the  thirty ; 

25  El-ha'nan  the  son  of  Do'do  of  Beth'-le-hem;  Sham'mah 

26  the  Ha'rod-ite,  El'i-ka  the  Ha'rod-ite;  He'lez  the  Pal'tite,

34the  son  of  Sha'rar  the  A'ra-rite  ;  E-liph'e-let  the  son 

of  A-has'ba-i,  the  son  of  the  Ma-ac'a-thite,  E-li'am  the 

35  son  of  A-hith'o-phel  the  Gi'lo-nite ;  *Hez'ro  the  Car'-

37  of  Zo'bah,  Ba'ni  the  Gad'ite ;  Ze'lek  the  Am'mon-ite,

39 rite;  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite:  thirty  and  seven  in  all. 

^^  *And  again  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled 
against  Is'ra-el,  and  he  moved  Da'vid  against  them, 

2  saying.  Go,  number  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah.  And  the 
king  said  to  Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the  host,  which 
was  with  him.  Go  now  to  and  fro  through  all  the 
tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-she'ba,  and 
number  ye  the  people,  that  I  may  know  the  sum  of 

3  the  people.  And  Jo'ab  said  unto  the  king,  Now  the 
Lord  thy  God  add  unto  the  people,  how  many  soever 
they  be,  an  hundredfold,  and  may  the  eyes  of  my 
lord  the  king  see  it :  but  why  doth  my  lord  the  king 

4 delight  in  this  thing?  Notwithstanding  the  king's 
word  prevailed  against  Jo'ab,  and  against  the  cap- 
tains of  the  host.  And  Jo'ab  and  the  captains  of  the 
host  went  out  from  the  presence  of  the  king,  to  num- 

5  ber  the  peoph  of  Is'ra-el.  And  they  passed  over  Jor'- 
dan, and  pitched  in  Ar'o-er,  on  the  right  side  of  the 
city  that  is  in  the  middle  of  the  valley  ^of  Gad,  and 

6  unto  Ja'zer :  then  they  came  to  Gil'e-ad,  and  to  the 
land  of  Tah'tim-hod'shi ;  and  they  came  to  Dan-ja'an, 

7  and  round  about  to  Zi'don,  and  came  to  the  strong 
hold  of  Tyre,  and  to  all  the  cities  of  the  Hi'vites,  and 
of  the  Ca'naan-ites :  and  they  went  out  to  the  south 

8  of  Ju'dah,  at  Be'er-she'ba.  So  when  they  had  gone 
to  and  fro  through  all  the  land,  they  came  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem at  the  end  of  nine  months  and  twenty  days.

9  And  Jo'ab  gave  up  the  sum  of  the  number  of  the  people 
unto  the  king:  'and  there  were  in  Is'ra-el  eight  hundred 
thousand  valiant  men  that  drew  the  sword ;  and  the  men  of 
Ju'dah  were  five  hundred  thousand  men. 

10  ^And  *Da'vid's  heart  smote  him  after  that  he  had 
numbered  the  people.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  the  Lord,  'I 
have  sinned  greatly  in  that  I  have  done :  and  now,  I  beseech 
thee,  O  Lord,  take  away  the  iniquity  of  thy  servant ;  for  I 
have  "done  very  foolishly. 

11  For  when  Da'vid  was  up  in  the  morning,  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  the  prophet  "Gad  Da'vid's  "seer, 
saying, 

12  Go  and  say  unto  Da'vid,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  offer 
thee  three  things;  choose  thee  one  of  them,  that  I  may  do 
it  unto  thee. 

13  So  Gad  came  to  Da'vid,  and  told  him,  and  said  unto 
him,  Shall  ''seven  years  of  famine  come  unto  thee  in  thy 
land  ?  or  wilt  thou  flee  three  months  before  thine  enemies, 
while  they  pursue  thee  ?  or  that  there  be  three  days'  pesti- 
lence in  thy  land?  Now  advise,  and  see  what  answer  I  shall 
return  to  him  that  sent  me. 

14  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Gad,  I  am  in  a  great  strait: 
let  us  fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the  Lord  ;  'for  his 
mercies  are  || great:  and  'let  me  not  fall  into  the  hand  of 
man. 

15  ^So  'the  Lord  sent  a  pestilence  upon  Is'ra-el  from 
the  morning  even  to  the  time  appointed:  and  there  died 
of  the  people  from  Dan  even  to  Be'er-slie'ba  seventy  thou- 
sand men. 

16  'And  when  the  angel  stretched  out  his  hand  upon 
Je-ru'sa-lem  to  destroy  it,  "the  Lord  repented  him  of  the 
evil,  and  said  to  the  angel  that  destroyed  the  people, 
It  is  enough:  stay  now  thine  hand.  And  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  was  by  the  threshingplace  of  ^A-rau'nah  the 
Jeb'u-site. 

17  And  Da'vid  spake  unto  the  Lord  when  he  saw  the  angel 
that  smote  the  people,  and  said,  Lo,  "I  have  sinned,  and  I 
have  done  wickedly :  but  these  sheep,  what  have  they  done? 
let  thine  hand,  I  pray  thee,  be  against  me,  and  against  my 
father's  house. 

18  ^And  Gad  came  that  day  to  Da'vid,  and  said  unto  him, 
'Go  up,  rear  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  in  the  threshingfloor 
of  fA-rau'nah  the  Jeb'u-site. 

19  And  Da'vid,  according  to  the  saying  of  Gad,  went  up 
as  the  Lord  commanded. 

20  And  A-rau'nah  looked,  and  saw  the  king  and  his  serv- 
ants coming  on  toward  him:  and  A-rau'nah  went  out, 
and  bowed  himself  before  the  king  on  his  fece  upon  the 
ground. 

21  And  A-rau'nah  said,  Wherefore  is  my  lord  the  king 
come  to  his  servant?  "And  Da'vid  said.  To  buy  the  thresh- 
ingfloor of  thee,  to  build  an  altar  unto  the  Lord,  that  'the 
plague  may  be  stayed  from  the  people. 

22  And  A-rau'nah  said  unto  Da'vid,  Let  my  lord  the  king 
take  and  offer  up  what  seemeth  good  unto  him:  "behold, 
here  be  oxen  for  burnt  sacrifice,  and  threshing  instruments 
and  other  instruments  of  the  oxen  for  wood. 

23  All  these  things  did  A-rau'nah,  as  a  king,  give  unto  the 
king.  And  A-rau'nah  said  unto  the  king.  The  Lord  thy 
God  ''accept  thee. 

24  And  the  king  said  unto  A-rau'nah,  Nay;  but  I  will 
surely  buy  it  of  thee  at  a  price :  neither  will  I  offer  burnt 
offerings  unto  the  Lord  my  God  of  that  which  doth  cost 
me  nothing.  So  'Da'vid  bought  the  threshingfloor  and  the 
oxen  for  fifty  shekels  of  silver. 

25  And  Da'vid  built  there  an  altar  unto  the  Lord,  and 
offered  burnt  offerings  and  peace  offerings.  -^So  the  Ix)RD 
was  entreated  for  the  land,  and  "the  plague  was  stayed  from 
Is'ra-el. 


9  And  Jo'ab  gave  up  the  sum  of  the  numbering  of 
the  people  unto  the  king :  and  there  were  in  Is'ra-el 
eight  hundred  thousand  valiant  men  that  drew  the 
sword;  and  the  men  of  Ju'dah  were  five  hundred 
thousand  men. 

10  And  Da'vid's  heart  smote  him  after  that  he  had 
numbered  the  people.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  the 
Lord,  I  have  sinned  greatly  in  that  I  have  done: 
but  now,  O  Lord,  put  away,  I  beseech  thee,  the  in- 
iquity of  thy  servant ;  for  I  have  done  very  foolishly. 

11  And  when  Da'vid  rose  up  in  the  morning,  the  word 
of  the  Lord  came  unto  the  prophet  Gad,  David's 

12  seer,  saying.  Go  and  speak  unto  Da'vid,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  I  'offer  thee  three  things;  choose  thee 

13  one  of  them,  that  I  may  do  it  unto  thee.  So  Gad 
came  to  Da'vid,  and  told  him,  and  said  unto  him. 
Shall  seven  years  of  famine  come  unto  thee  in  thy 
land  ?  or  wilt  thou  flee  three  months  before  thy  foes 
while  they  pursue  thee?  or  shall  there  be  three 
days'  pestilence  in  thy  land?  now  advise  thee,  and 
consider  what  answer  I  shall  return  to  him  that 

14  sent  me.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Gad,  I  am  in  a 
great  strait:  let  us  fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the 
Lord;  for  his  mercies  are  ^great:  and  let  me  not 

15  fall  into  the  hand  of  man.  So  the  Lord  sent  a 
pestilence  upon  Is'ra-el  from  the  morning  even  to 
the  time  appointed:  and  there  died  of  the  people 
from  Dan  even  to   Be'er-she'ba  seventy  thousand 

16  men.  And  when  the  angel  stretched  out  his  hand 
toward  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  destroy  it,  the  Lord  repented 
him  of  the  evil,  and  said  to  the  angel  that  destroyed 
the  people,  It  is  enough ;  now  stay  thine  hand,  .^nd 
the  angel  of  the  Lord  was  by  the  threshing-floor  of 

17  ^A-rau'nah  the  Jeb'u-site.  And  Da'vid  spake  unto  the 
Lord  when  he  saw  the  angel  that  smote  the  people, 
and  said,  Lo,  I  have  sinned,  and  I  have  done  per- 
versely: but  these  sheep,  what  have  they  done?  let 
thine  hand,  I  pray  thee,  be  against  me,  and  against 
my  father's  house. 

18  And  Gad  came  that  day  to  Da'vid,  and  said  unto 
him.  Go  up,  rear  an  alter  unto  the  Lord  in  the 

19  threshing-floor  of  A-rau'nah  the  Jeb'u-site.  And 
Da'vid  went  up  according  to  the  saying  of  Gad, 

20  as  the  Lord  commanded.  And  A-rau'nah  looked 
forth,  and  saw  the  king  and  his  servants  ^coming 
on  toward  him:  and  A-rau'nah  went  out,  and 
bowed   himself  before   the   king   with   his   face  to 

21  the  ground.  And  A-rau'nah  said.  Wherefore  is  my 
lord  the  king  come  to  his  servant?  And  Da'vid 
said,  To  buy  the  threshing-floor  of  thee,  to  build 
an  alter  unto  the  Lord,  that  the  plague  may  be 

228teyed  from  the  people.  And  A-rau'nah  said  unto 
Da'vid,  let  my  lord  the  king  take  and  offer  up 
what  seemeth  good  unto  him:  behold,  the  oxen 
for  the  burnt  offering,  and  the  threshing  instru- 
ments and  the  furniture  of  the  oxen  for  the  wood : 

23 'all  this,  O  king,  doth  A-rau'nah  give  unto  the  king. 
And  A-rau'nah  said  unto  the  king,  The  Lord  thy 

24  God  accept  thee.  And  the  king  said  unto  A-rau'nah, 
Nay ;  but  I  will  verily  buy  it  of  thee  at  a  price : 
neither  will  I  offer  burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord 
my  God  which  cost  me  nothing.  So  Da'vid  bought 
the  threshing-floor  and  the  oxen  for  fifty  shekels  of 

25  silver.  And  Da'vid  built  there  an  alter  unto  the 
Lord,  and  offered  burnt  offerings  and  peace  offer- 
ings. So  the  Lord  was  intreated  for  the  land,  and 
the  plague  was  steyed  from  Is'ra-el.

THE  FIRST  BOOK  OF  THE 

KINGS, 

COMMONLY   CALLED, 

THE  THIRD  BOOK  OF  THE  KINGS. 


CHAPTER  I. 

Solomon,  by  David's  appointment,  is  anointed  king. 

"VTOW  king  Da'vid  was  old  and  f stricken  in  years;  and 
-lA    they  covered  him  with  clothes,  but  he  gat  no  heat. 

2  Wherefore  his  servants  said  unto  him,  fLet  there  be 
sought  for  my  lord  the  king  fa  young  virgin :  and  let  her 
stand  before  the  king,  and  let  her  fcherish  him,  and  let  her 
lie  in  thy  bosom,  that  my  lord  the  king  may  get  heat. 

3  So  they  sought  for  a  fair  damsel  throughout  all  the  coasts 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  found  Ab'i-shag  a  "Shu'nam-mite,  and  brought 
her  to  the  king. 

4  And  the  damsel  was  very  fair,  and  cherished  the  king, 
and  ministered  to  him  :  but  the  king  knew  her  not. 

5  ^Then  ''Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of  Hag'gith  exalted  himself, 
saying,  I  will  fbe  king :  and  "he  prepared  him  chariots  and 
horsemen,  and  fifty  men  to  run  before  him. 

6  And  his  father  had  not  displeased  him  fat  any  time  in 
saying,  Why  hast  thou  done  so?  and  he  also  was  a  very 
goodly  man;  ''and  his  mother  bare  him  after  Ab'sa-lom. 

7  And  the  conferred  with  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  and 
with  'A-bi'a-thar  the  priest:  and-^they,tfollowingAd-o-ni'jah, 
helped  him. 

8  But  Za'dok  the  priest,  and  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da, 
and  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  "Shim'e-i,  and  Re'I,  and  *the 
mighty  men  which  belongedto  Da'vid,  were  not  with  Ad-o-ni  jah. 

9  And  Ad-o-ni'jah  slew  sheep,  and  oxen,  and  fat  cattle,  by 
the  stone  of  Zo'he-leth,  which  is  by  ||  En-ro'gel,  and  called  all 
his  brethren  the  king's  sons,  and  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah  the 
king's  servants: 

10  But  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  Be-na'iah  and  the  mighty 
men,  and  Sol'o-mon  his  brother,  he  called  not. 

11  ^Wherefore  Na'than  spake  unto  Bath'she-ba  the  mother 
of  Sol'o-mon,  saying,  Hast  thou  not  heard  that  Ad-o-ni'jah 
the  son  of  'Hag'gith  doth  reign,  and  Da'vid  our  lord  know- 
eth  it  not  ? 

12  Now  therefore  come,  let  me,  I  pray  thee,  give  thee 
counsel,  that  thou  mayest  save  thine  own  life,  and  the  life 
of  thy  son  Sol'o-mon. 

13  Go  and  get  thee  in  unto  king  Da'vid,  and  say  unto  him. 
Didst  not  thou,  my  lord,  O  king,  swear  unto  thine  handmaid, 
saying,  ^Assuredly  Sol'o-mon  thy  son  shall  reign  after  me,  and 
he  shall  sit  upon  my  throne?  why  then  doth  Ad-o-ni'jah  reign  ? 

14  Behold,  while  thou  yet  talkest  there  with  the  king,  I 
also  will  come  in  after  thee,  and  fconfirm  thy  words. 

15  ^And  Bath'she-ba  went  in  unto  the  king  into  the 
chamber:  and  the  king  was  very  old;  and  Ab'i-shag  the 
Shu'nam-mite  ministered  unto  the  king. 

16  And  Bath'-she-ba  bowed,  and  did  obeisance  unto  the 
king.     And  the  king  said,  fWhat  wouldest  thou  ? 

17  And  she  said  unto  him.  My  lord,  'thou  swarest  by  the 
Lord  thy  God  unto  thine  handmaid,  saying,  Assuredly 
Sol'o-mon  thy  son  shall  reign  after  me,  and  he  shall  sit  upon 
my  throne. 

18  And  now,  behold,  Ad-o-ni'jah  reigneth;  and  now,  my 
lord  the  king,  thou  knowest  it  not: 

19  "And  he  hath  slain  oxen,  and  fat  cattle,  and  sheep  in 
abundance,  and  hath  called  all  the  sons  of  the  king,  and 
A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,  and  Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the  host :  but 
Sol'o-mon  thy  servant  hath  he  not  called. 


THE  FIRST  BOOK  OF  THE 

KINGS. 


-»-  Now  king  Da'vid  was  old  and  stricken  in  years ; 
and  they  covered  him  with  clothes,  but  he  gat  no 

2  heat.  Wherefore  his  servants  said  unto  him.  Let 
there  be  sought  for  my  lord  the  king  a  young  vir- 
gin :  and  let  her  stand  before  the  king,  and  cherish 
him ;  and  let  her  lie  in  thy  bosom,  that  my  lord  the 

3  king  may  get  heat.  So  they  sought  for  a  fair  dam- 
sel throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Is'ra-el,  and  found 
Ab'i-shag  the  Shu'nam-mite,  and  brought  her  to  the 

4 king.  And  the  damsel  was  very  fair;  and  she 
cherished  the  king,  and  ministered  to  him ;  but  the 

5  king  knew  her  not.  Then  Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of  Hag'- 
gith exalted  himself,  saying,  I  will  be  king :  and  he 
prepared  him  chariots  and  horsemen,  and  fifty  men 

6  to  run  before  him.  And  his  father  had  not  dis- 
pleased him  'at  any  time  in  saying,  Why  hast  thou 
done  so  ?  and  he  was  also  a  very  goodly  man ;  and 

7  he  was  born  after  Ab'sa-lom.  And  he  conferred 
with  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah,  and  with  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priest:   and    they  following   Ad-o-ni'jah  helped 

8  him.  But  Za'dok  the  priest,  and  Be-na'iah  the  son 
of  Je-hoi'a-da,  and  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  Shim'e-i, 
and  Re'i,  and  the  mighty  men  which  belonged  to 

9  Da'vid,  were  not  with  Ad-o-ni'jah.  And  Ad-o-ni'jah 
^slew  sheep  and  oxen  and  fatlings  by  the  stone  of 
Zo'he-leth,  which  is  beside  En-ro'gel ;  and  he  called 
all  his  brethren  the  king's  sons,  and  all  the  men  of 

10  Ju'dah  the  king's  servants :  but  Na'than  the  prophet, 
and  Be-na'iah,  and  the  mighty  men,  and  Sol'o-mon  his 

11  brother,  he  called  not.  Then  Na'than  spake  unto 
Bath'-she-ba  the  mother  of  Sol'o-mon,  saying.  Hast 
thou  not  heard  that  Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of  Hag'gith 
doth  reign,  and  Da'vid  our  lord  knoweth  it  not? 

12  Now  therefore  come,  let  me,  I  pray  thee,  give  thee 
counsel,  that  thou   mayest  save  thine  own  life,  and 

13  the  life  of  thy  son  Sol'o-mon.  Go  and  get  thee  in 
unto  king  Da'vid,  and  say  unto  him.  Didst  not  thou, 
my  lord,  O  king,  swear  unto  thine  handmaid,  say- 
ing. Assuredly  Sol'o-mon  thy  son  shall  reign  after 
me,  and   he   shall  sit  upon  my  throne?   why  then 

14 doth  Ad-o-ni'jah  reign?  Behold,  while  thou  yet 
talkest   there  with    the  king,  I  also    will    come  in 

15  after  thee,  and  confirm  thy  words.  And  Bath'- 
she-ba went  in  unto  the  king  into  the  chamber: 
and  the  king  was  very  old ;  and  Ab'i-shag  the  Shu'- 

16nam-mite  ministered  unto  the  king.  And  Bath'- 
she-ba bowed,   and    did   obeisance    unto  the  king. 

17 And  the  king  said.  What  wouldest  thou?  And 
she  said  unto  him.  My  lord,  thou  swarest  by  the 
Lord  thy  God  unto  thine  handmaid,  saying,  Assur- 
edly Sol'o-mon  thy  son  shall  reign  after  me,  and  he 

18  shall  sit  upon  my  throne.  And  now,  behold,  Ad-o- 
ni'jah  reigneth ;  'and  thou,  my  lord  the  king,  knowest 

19  it  not :  and  he  hath  ^slain  oxen  and  fatlings  and  sheep 
in  abundance,  and  hath  called  all  the  sons  of  the  king, 
and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,  and  Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the 
host :  but  Sol'o-mon  thy  servant  hath  he  not  called.

20  And  thou,  my  lord,  O  king,  the  eyes  of  all  Is'ra-el  are 
upon  thee,  that  thou  shouldest  tell  them  who  shall  sit  on 
the  throne  of  my  lord  the  king  after  him. 

21  Otherwise  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  my  lord  the 
king  shall  "sleep  with  his  fathers,  that  I  and  my  son  Sol'o- 
mon  shall  be  counted  f  offenders. 

22  ^And,  lo,  while  she  yet  talked  with  the  king,  Na'than 
the  prophet  also  came  in. 

23  And  they  told  the  king,  saying.  Behold  Na'than  the 
prophet.  And  when  he  was  come  in  before  the  king,  he 
bowed  himself  before  the  king  with  his  face  to  the  ground. 

24  And  Na'than  said,  My  lord,  O  king,  hast  thou  said, 
Ad-o-ni'jah  shall  reign  after  me,  and  he  shall  sit  upon  my 
throne  ? 

25  "For  he  is  gone  down  this  day,  and  hath  slain  oxen 
and  fat  cattle  and  sheep  in  abundance,  and  hath  called  all 
the  king's  sons,  and  the  captains  of  the  host,  and  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priest ;  and,  behold,  they  eat  and  drink  before  him,  and 
say,  "fGod  saveking  Ad-o-ni'jah. 

26  But  me,  even  me  thy  servant,  and  Za'dok  the  priest,  and 
Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  and  thy  servant  Sol'o-mon, 
hath  he  not  called. 

27  Is  this  thing  done  by  my  lord  the  king,  and  thou  hast 
not  shewed  it  unto  thy  servant,  who  should  sit  on  the  throne 
of  my  lord  the  king  after  him? 

28  ^Then  king  Da'vid  answered  and  said.  Call  me  Bath'- 
she-ba.  And  she  came  finto  the  king's  presence,  and  stood 
before  the  king. 

29  And  the  king  sware,  and  said,  ^As  the  Lord  liveth,  that 
hath  redeemed  my  soul  out  of  all  distress, 

30  ""Even  as  I  sware  unto  thee  by  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
saying,  Assuredly  Sol'o-mon  thy  son  shall  reign  after  me,  and 
he  shall  sit  upon  my  throne  in  my  stead;  even  so  will  I 
certainly  do  this  day. 

31  Then  Bath'-she-ba  bowed  with  her  face  to  the  earth,  and 
did  reverence  to  the  king,  and  said,  'Let  my  lord  king  Da'vid 
live  for  ever. 

32  ^And  king  Da'vid  said.  Call  me  Za'dok  the  priest,  and 
Na'than  the  prophet,  and  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da. 
And  they  came  before  the  king. 

33  The  king  also  said  unto  them,  'Take  with  you  the  serv- 
ants of  your  lord,  and  cause  Sol'o-mon  my  son  to  ride  upon 
fmine  own  mule,  and  bring  him  down  to  "Gi'hon : 

34  And  let  Za'dok  the  priest  and  Na'than  the  prophet 
''anoint  him  there  king  over  Is'ra-el :  and  "blow  ye  with  the 
trumpet,  and  say,  God  save  king  Sol'o-mon. 

35  Then  ye  shall  come  up  after  him,  that  he  may  come  and 
sit  upon  my  throne ;  for  he  shall  be  king  in  my  stead :  and  I 
have  appointed  him  to  be  ruler  over  Is'ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah. 

36  And  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  answered  the  king, 
and  said.  Amen :  the  Lobd  God  of  my  lord  the  king  say  so  too. 

37  'As  the  Lord  hath  been  with  my  lord  the  king,  even 
so  be  he  with  Sol'o-mon,  and  "make  his  throne  greater  than 
the  throne  of  my  lord  king  Da'vid. 

38  So  Za'dok  the  priest,  and  Na'than  the  prophet,  'and 
Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  and  the  Cher'etn-ites,  and  the 
Pe'leth-ites,  went  down,  and  caused  Sol'o-mon  to  ride  upon 
king  Da'vid's  mule,  and  brought  him  to  Gi'hon. 

39  And  Za'dok  the  priest  took  a  horn  of  "oil  out  of  the 
tabernacle,  and  ''anointed  Sol'o-mon.  And  they  blew  the 
trumpet ;  'and  all  the  people  said,  God  save  king  Sol'o-mon. 

40  And  all  the  people  came  up  after  him,  and  the  people 
piped  with  ||  pipes,  and  rejoiced  with  great  joy,  so  that  the 
earth  rent  with  the  sound  of  them. 

41  ^And  Ad-o-ni'jah  and  all  the  guests  that  were  with  him 
heard  it  as  they  had  made  an  end  of  eating.  And  when 
Jo'ab  heard  the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  he  said.  Wherefore  is 
this  noise  of  the  city  being  in  an  uproar? 

42  And  while  he  yet  spake,  behold,  Jon'a-than  the  son  of 


20  And  'thou,  my  lord  the  king,  the  eyes  of  all 
Is'ra-el  are  upon  thee,  that  thou  shouldest  tell 
them  who  shall  sit  on  the  throne  of  my  lord  the 

21  king  after  him.  Otherwise  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  my  lord  the  king  shall  sleep  with  his  fa- 
thers, that  I  and  my  son  Sol'o-mon  shall  be  counted 

22 -offenders.     And,  lo,  while  she  yet  talked  with  the 

23  king,  Na'than  the  prophet  came  in.  And  they  told 
the  king,  saying.  Behold,  Na'than  the  prophet.  And 
when  he  was  come  in  before  the  king,  he  bowed 
himself  before  the  king  with  his  face  to  the  ground. 

24  And  Na'than  said,  My  lord,  O  king,  hast  thou  said, 
Ad-o-ni'jah  shall  reign  after  me,  and  he  shall  sit  upon 

25 my  throne?  For  he  is  gone  down  this  day,  and 
hath  'slain  oxen  and  fatlings  and  sheep  in  abun- 
dance, and  hath  called  all  the  king's  sons,  and  the 
captains  of  the  host,  and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest ;  and, 
behold,  they  eat  and  drink  before  him,  and  say,  God 

26  save  king  Ad-o-ni'jah.  But  me,  even  me  thy  servant, 
and  Za'dok  the  priest,  and  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je- 
hoi'a-da,  and  thy  servant  Sol'o-mon,  hath  he  not  called. 

27  Is  this  thing  done  by  my  lord  the  king,  and  thou 
hast  not  shewed  unto  thy  ^servants  who  should  sit 

28  on  the  throne  of  my  lord  the  king  after  him  ?  Then 
king  Da'vid  answered  and  said,  Call  me  Bath'-she-ba, 
And  she  came  into  the  king's  presence,  and  stood 

29  before  the  king.  And  the  king  sware,  and  said.  As 
the  Lord  liveth,  who  hath  redeemed  my  soul  out 

30  of  all  adversity,  verily  as  I  sware  unto  thee  by  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  Assuredly  Sol'o 
mon  thy  son  shall  reign  after  me,  and  he  shall  sit 
upon  my  throne  in  my  stead;  verily  so  will  I  do 

31  this  day.  Then  Bath'-she-ba  bowed  with  her  face  to 
the  earth,  and  did  obeisance  to  the  king,  and  said, 

32  Let  my  lord  king  Da'vid  live  for  ever.  And  king 
Da'vid  said.  Call  me  Za'dok  the  priest,  and  Na'than 
the  prophet,  and  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da.  And 

33  they  came  before  the  king.  And  the  king  said 
unto  them,  Take  with  you  the  servants  of  your 
lord,  and  cause  Sol'o-mon  my  son  to  ride  upon 
mine  own  mule,  and  bring  him  down   to   Gi'hon 

34  and  let  Za'dok  the  priest  and  Na'than  the  prophet 
anoint  him  there  king  over  Is'ra-el:  and  blow  ye 
with  the  trumpet,  and  say,  God  save  king  Sol'o-mon 

35  Then  ye  shall  come  up  after  him,  and  he  shall  come 
and  sit  upon  my  throne ;  for  he  shall  be  king  in  my 
stead :  and  I  have  appointed  him  to  be  ^prince  over 

36  Is'ra-el  and  over  Ju'dah.  And  Be-na'iah  the  son  of 
Je-hoi'a-da  answered  the  king,  and  said,  Amen :  the 

37  Lord,  the  God  of  my  lord  the  king,  say  so  too.  As 
the  Lord  hath  been  with  my  lord  the  king,  even  so 
be  he  with  Sol'o-mon,  and  make  his  throne  greater 

38  than  the  throne  of  my  lord  king  Da'vid.  So  Za'dok 
the  priest,  and  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  Be-na'iah  the 
son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  and  the  Cher'eth-ites  and  the  Pe'leth- 
ites,  went  down,  and  caused  Sol'o-mon  to  ride  upon 

39  king  Da'vid's  mule,  and  brought  him  to  Gi'hon.  And 
Za'dok  the  priest  took  the  horn  of  oil  out  of  the 
Tent,  ahd  anointed  Sol'o-mon.  And  they  blew  the 
trumpet;  and  all  the  people  said,  God    save    king 

40  Sol'o-mon.  And  all  the  people  came  up  after  him, 
and  the  people  piped  with  pipes,  and  rejoiced  with 
great  joy,  so  that  the  earth  rent  with  the  sound  of

A-bi'a-thar  the priestcame:andAd-o-ni'jah  said  unto  him,Come 
in  ;  for  ■'^thou  art  a  valiant  man,  and  bringest  good  tidings. 

43  And  Jon'a-than  answered  and  said  to  Ad-o-ni'jah,  Verily 
our  lord  king  Da'vid  hath  made  Sol'o-mon  king. 

44  And  the  king  hath  sent  with  him  Za'dok  the  priest, 
and  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'- 
a-da,  and  the  Cher'eth-ites,  and  the  Pe'leth-ites,  and  they 
have  caused  him  to  ride  upon  the  king's  mule  : 

45  And  Za'dok  the  priest  and  Na'than  the  prophet  have 
anointed  him  king  in  Gi'hon :  and  they  are  come  up  from 
thence  rejoicing,  so  that  the  city  rang  again.  This  is  the 
noise  that  ye  have  heard. 

46  And  also  Sol'o-mon  "sitteth  on  the  throne  of  the  kingdom. 

47  And  moreover  the  king's  servants  came  to  bless  our 
lord  king  Da'vid,  saying,  ''God  make  the  name  of  Sol'o- 
mon  better  than  thy  name,  and  make  his  throne  greater 
than  thy  throne.  'And  the  king  bowed  himself  upon 
the  bed. 

48  And  also  thus  said  the  king.  Blessed  he  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  which  hath  *given  one  to  sit  on  my  throne  this 
day,  mine  eyes  even  seeing  it. 

49  And  all  the  guests  that  were  with  Ad-o-ni'jah  were  afraid, 
and  rose  up,  and  went  every  man  his  way. 

50  ^AndAd-o-ni'jah  feared  because  of  Sol'o-mon,  and  arose, 
and  went,  and  'caught  hold  on  the  horns  of  the  altar. 

51  And  it  was  told  Sol'o-mon,  saying.  Behold,  Ad-o- 
ni'jah  feareth  king  Sol'o-mon :  for,  lo,  he  hath  caught  hold 
on  the  horns  of  the  altar,  saying,  Let  king  Sol'o-mon  swear 
unto  mc  to-day  that  he  will  not  slay  his  servant  with 
the  sword. 

52  And  Sol'o-mon  said>  If  he  will  shew  himself  a  worthy 
man,  "there  shall  not  a  hair  of  him  fall  to  the  earth :  but 
if  wickedness  shall  be  found  in  him,  he  shall  die. 

53  So  king  Sol'o-mon  sent,  and  they  brought  him  down 
from  the  altar.  And  he  came  and  bowed  himself  to  king 
Sol'o-mon :  and  Sol'o-mon  said  unto  him,  Go  to  thine  house. 

CHAPTER  II. 

David,  having  given  a  charge  to  Solomon,  dietk. 

"VrOW  "^he  days  of  Da'vid  drew  nigh  that  he  shoold  die ; 
-1-1    and  he  charged  Sol'o-mon  his  son,  saying, 

2  'I  go  the  way  of  all  the  earth :  "be  thou  strong  there- 
fore, and  shew  thyself  a  man  ; 

3  And  keep  the  charge  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  walk  in 
his  ways,  to  keep  his  statutes,  and  his  commandments,  and 
his  judgments,  and  his  testmonies,  as  it  is  written  in  the 
law  of  Mo'ses,  that  thou  mayest  ''||  prosper  in  all  that  thou 
doest,  and  whithersoever  thou  turnest  thyself: 

4  That  the  Loed  may  'continue  his  word  which  he  spake 
concerning  me,  saying,  ■''  If  thy  children  take  heed  to  their 
way,  to  "walk  before  me  in  truth  with  all  their  heart  and 
with  all  their  soul,  *there  shall  not  ffail  thee  (said  he)  a  man 
on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Moreover  thou  knowest  also  what  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u- 
i'ah  'did  to  me,  and  what  he  did  to  the  two  captains  of  the 
hosts  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  *  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  and|unto  Am'a-sa 
the  son  of  Je'ther,  whom  he  slew,  and  fshed  the  blood  of 
war  in  peace,  and  put  the  blood  of  war  upon  his  girdle  that 
was  about  his  loins,  and  in  his  shoes  that  were  on  his  feet. 

6  Do  therefore  ""according  to  thy  wisdom,  and  let  not  his 
hoar  head  go  down  to  the  grave  in  peace. 

7  But  shew  kindness  unto  the  sons  of  "Bar-zil'la-i  the  Gil'- 
e-ad-ite,  and  let  them  be  of  those  that  "eat  at  thy  table :  for 
so  "they  came  to  me  when  I  fled  because  of  Ab'sa-lom  thy 
brother. 

8  And,  behold,  tliou  hast  with  thee  «Shim'e-i  the  son  of  Ge'ra, 
a  Ben'ja-mite  of  Ba-hu'rim,  which  cursed  me  with  afgrievous 
curse  in  the  day  when  I  went  to  Ma-ha-na'im :  but  'he  came 
down  to  meet  me  at  Jor'dan,  and  'I  sware  to  him  by  the  Lord 
saying,  I  will  not  put  thee  to  death  with  the  sword. 


A-bi'a-thar  the  priest  came :  and  Ad-o-ni'jah  said.  Come 
in ;  for  thou  art  a  worthy  man,  and  bringest  good 

43  tidings.  And  Jon'a-than  answered  and  said  to  Ad-o- 
ni'jah,  Verily  our  lord  king  Da'vid  hath  made  Sol'o- 

44  mon  king :  and  the  king  hath  sent  with  him  Za'- 
dok the  priest,  and  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  Be- 
na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  and  the  Cher'eth-ites  and 
the  Pe'leth-ites,  and  they  have  caused   him  to  ride 

45  upon  the  king's  mule :  and  Za'dok  the  priest  and 
Na'than  the  prophet  have  anointed  him  king  in 
Gi'hon:  and  they  are  come  up  from  thence  re- 
joicing, so  that  the  city  rang  again.    This  is  the 

46  noise  that  ye  have  heard.     And  also  Sol'o-mon  sit- 

47  teth  on  the  throne  of  the  kingdom.  And  moreover 
the  king's  servants  came  to  bless  our  lord  king 
Da'vid,  saying,  'Thy  God  make  the  name  of  Sol'o- 
mon  better  than  thy  name,  and  make  his  throne 
greater  than  thy  throne  :  and  the  king  bowed  him- 

48  self  upon  the  bed.  And  also  thus  said  the  king, 
Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  hath 
given  one  to  sit  on  my  throne  this  day,  mine  eyes 

49  even  seeing  it.  And  all  the  guests  of  Ad-o-ni'jah 
were  afraid,  and  rose  up,  and  went  every  man  his 

50  way.  And  Ad-o-ni'jah  feared  because  of  Sol'o-mon ; 
and  he  arose,  and  went,  and  caught  hold  on   the 

51  horns  of  the  altar.  And  it  was  told  Sol'o-mon,  say- 
ing. Behold,  Ad-o-ni'jah  feareth  king  Sol'o-mon :  for, 
lo,  he  hath  laid  hold  on  the  horns  of  the  altar,  saying. 
Let  king  Sol'o-mon  swear  unto  me  ^this  day  that  he 
will  not  slay  his  servant  with  the  sword.     And  Sol'o' 

52  mon  said.  If  he  shall  shew  himself  a  worthy  man, 
there  shall  not  an  hair  of  him  fall  to  the  earth :  but 
if  wickedness  be  found  in  him,  he  shall  die.     So  king 

53  Sol'o-mon  sent,  and  they  brought  him  down  from  the 
altar.     And  he  came  and  did  obeisance  to  king  Sol'o 
mon:  and  Sol'o-mon  said  unto  him.  Go  to  thine  house. 

^     Now  the  days  of  Da'vid  drew  nigh  that  he  should 

2  die ;  and  he  charged  Sol'o-mon  his  son,  saying,  I  go 
the  way  of  all  the  earth :  be  thou  strong  therefore, 

3  and  shew  thyself  a  man ;  and  keep  the  charge  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  to  walk  in  his  ways,  to  keep  his 
statutes,  and  his  commandments,  and  his  judgements, 
and  his  testimonies,  according  to  that  which  is  writ 
ten  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  that  thou  mayest  ^prosper 
in  all  that  thou  doest,  and  whithersoever  thou  turnest 

4  thyself :  that  the  Lord  may  establish  his  word  which 
he  spake  concerning  me,  saying.  If  thy  children  take 
heed  to  their  way,  to  walk  before  me  in  truth  with 
all  their  heart  and  with  all  their  soul,  there  shall  not 
fail  thee  (said  he)  a  man  on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Moreover  thou  knowest  also  what  Jo'ab  the  son  of 
Zer-u-i'ah  did  unto  me,  even  what  he  did  to  the  two 
captains  of  the  hosts  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  Ab'ner  the  son 
of  Ner,  and  unto  Am'a-sa  the  son  of  Je'ther,  whom 
he  slew,  and  *shed  the  blood  of  war  in  peace,  and 
put  the  blood  of  war  upon  his  girdle  that  was  about 
his  loins,  and   in  his  shoes  that  were  on  his   feet 

6  Do  therefore  according  to  thy  wisdom,  and  let  not 

7  his  hoar  head  go  down  to  Hhe  grave  in  peace.     But 
shew  kindness  unto  the  sons  of  Bar-zil'la-i  the  Gil'e- 
ad-ite,  and  let  them  be  of  those  that  eat  at  thy  table 
for  so  they  came  to  me  when  I  fled  from  Ab'sa-lom 

8  thy  brother.  And  behold,  there  is  with  thee 
Shim'e-i  the  son  of  Ge'ra,  the  Ben'ja-mite,  of  Ba-hu'- 
rim, who  cursed  me  with  a  grievous  curse  in  the  day 
when  I  went  to  Ma-ha-na'im :  but  he  came  down  to 
meet  me  at  Jor'dan,  and  I  sware  to  him  by  the  Lord, 
saying,  I  will  not  put  thee  to  death  witn  the  sword.

9  Now  therefore  Tiold  him  not  guiltless :  for  thou  art  a 
wise  man,  and  knowest  what  thou  oughtest  to  do  unto  him ; 
but  his  hoar  head  "bring  thou  down  to  the  grave  with  blood. 

10  ^So  ""Da'vid  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in 
"the  city  of  Da'vid.  . 

11  And  the  days  that  Da'vid  'reigned  over  Is'ra-el  were 
forty  years :  seven  years  reigned  he  in  He'bron,  and  thirty 
and  three  years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12  ^["Then  sat  Sol'o-mon  upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid  his 
father;    and  his  kingdom  was  established  greatly. 

13  ^And  Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of  Hag'gith  came  to  Bath'- 
she-ba  the  mother  of  Sol'o-mon.  And  she  said,  'Comest 
thou  peaceably?     And  he  said,  Peaceably. 

14  He  said  moreover,  I  have  somewhat  to  say  unto  thee. 
And  she  said.  Say  on. 

15  And  he  said.  Thou  knowest  that  the  kingdom  was  "mine, 
and  that  all  Is'ra-el  set  their  faces  on  me,  that  I  should 
reign :  howbeit  the  kingdom  is  turned  about,  and  is  become 
my  brother's :  for  ''it  was  his  from  the  Lobd. 

16  And  now  I  ask  one  petition  of  thee,  fdeny  me  not. 
And  she  said  unto  him,  Say  on. 

17  And  he  said.  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  unto  Sol'o-mon  the 
king,  (for  he  will  not  say  thee  nay,)  that  he  give  me  'Ab'i- 
shag  the  Shu'nam-mite  to  wife. 

18  And  Bath'-she-ba  said.  Well;  I  will  speak  for  thee 
unto  the  king. 

19  ^Bath'-she-ba  therefore  weiit  unto  king  Sol'o-mon,  to 
speak  unto  him  for  Ad-o-ni'jah,  And  the  king  rose  up  to 
meet  her,  and  ^bowed  himself  unto  her,  and  sat  down  on  his 
throne,  and  caused  a  seat  to  be  set  for  the  king's  mother ; 
'and  she  sat  on  his  right  hand. 

20  Then  she  said,  I  desire  one  small  petition  of  thee ;  / 
pray  thee,  say  me  not  nay.  And  the  king  said  unto  her.  Ask 
on,  my  mother ;  for  I  will  not  say  thee  nay. 

21  And  she  said,  Let  Ab'i-shag  the  Shu'nam-mite  be  given 
to  Ad-o-ni'jah  thy  brother  to  wife. 

22  And  king  Sol'o-mon  answered  and  said  unto  his  mother. 
And  why  dost  thou  ask  Ab'i-shag  the  Shu'nam-mite  for 
Ad-o-ni'jah  ?  ask  for  him  the  kingdom  also ;  for  he  is  mine 
elder  brother;  even  for  him,  and  for  ''A-bi'a-thar  the  priest, 
and  for  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah. 

23  Then  king  Sol'o-mon  sware  by  the  Lohd,  saying,  'God 
do  so  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  Ad-o-ni'jah  have  not  spoken 
this  word  against  his  own  life. 

24  Now  therefore,  as  the  Lord  liveth,  which  hath  estab- 
lished me,  and  set  me  on  the  throne  of  Da'vid  my  father, 
and  vrho  hath  made  me  a  house,  as  he  ^promised,  Ad-o-ni'jah 
shall  be  put  to  death  this  day. 

25  And  king  Sol'o-mon  sent  by  the  hand  of  Be-na'iah  the 
son  of  Je-hoi'a-da ;  and  he  fell  upon  him  that  he  died. 

26  ^And  unto  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest  said  the  king.  Get  thee 
to  'An'a-thoth,  unto  thine  own  fields ;  for  thou  art  fworthy 
of  death :  but  I  will  not  at  this  time  put  thee  to  death,  ""be- 
cause thou  barest  the  ark  of  the  Lord  God  before  Da'vid 
my  father,  and  because  "thou  hast  been  afflicted  in  all 
wherein  my  father  was  afflicted. 

27  So  Sol'o-mon  thrust  out  A-bi'a-thar  from  being  priest 
unto  the  Lord  ;  that  he  might  "fulul  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  spake  concerning  the  house  of  E'li  in  Shi'loh. 

28  ^Then  tidings  came  to  Jo'ab :  for  Jo'ab  "had  turned 
after  Ad-o-ni'jah,  though  he  turned  not  after  Ab'sa-lom. 
And  Jo'ab  fled  unto  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and  'caught 
hold  on  the  horns  of  the  altar. 

29  And  it  was  told  king  Sol'o-mon  that  Jo'ab  was  fled 
unto  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord  ;  and,  behold,  he  is  hy  the 
altar.  Then  Sol'o-mon  sent  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'- 
a-da, saying.  Go,  fall  upon  him. 

30  And  Be-na'iah  came  to  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  and 
said  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  king,  Come  forth.     And  he 


9  Now  therefore  hold  him  not  guiltless,  for  thou  art  a 
wise  man ;  and  thou  wilt  know  what  thou  oughtest  to 
do  unto  him,  and  thou  shalt  bring  his  hoar  head  down 

10  to  'the  grave  with  blood.     And  Da'vid  slept  with  his 

11  fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the  city  of  Da'vid.  And 
the  days  that  Da'vid  reigned  over  Is'ra-el  were  forty 
years :  seven  years  reigned  he  in  He'bron,  and  thirty 
and  three  years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12  And  Sol'o-mon  sat  upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid  his 
father;  and   his  kingdom   was  established  greatly. 

13  Then  Ad-o-ni'jah  the  son  of  Hag'gith  came  to  Bath'- 
she-ba  the  mother  of  Sol'o-mon.  And  she  said, 
Comest  thou  peaceably?     And  he  said.  Peaceably. 

14  He  said  moreover,  I  have  somewhat  to  say  unto  thee. 
15And  she  said.  Say  on.     And  he  said.  Thou  knowest 

that  the  kingdom  was  mine,  and  that  all  Is'ra-el  set 
their  faces  on  me,  that  I  should  reign:  howbeit  the 
kingdom  is  turned  about,  and  is  become  my  brother's : 

16  for  it  was  his  from  the  Lord.  And  now  I  ask  one 
petition  of  thee,  Meny  me  not.     And  she  said  unto 

17  him.  Say  on.  And  he  said,  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  unto 
Sol'o-mon  the  king,  (for  he  will  not  say  thee  nay,) 
that  he  give  me  Ab'i-shag  the  Shu'nam-mite  to  wife. 

18  And  Bath'-she-ba  said.  Well;  I  will  speak  for  thee 

1 9  unto  the  king.  Bath'-she-ba  therefore  went  unto  king 
Sol'o-mon,  to  speak  unto  him  for  Ad-o-ni'jah.  And 
the  king  rose  up  to  meet  her,  and  bowed  himself 
unto  her,  and  sat  down  on  his  throne,  and  caused  a 
throne  to  be  set  for  the  king's  mother;  and  she  sat 

20  on  his  right  hand.  Then  she  said,  I  ask  one  small 
petition  of  thee;  deny  me  not.  And  the  king  said 
unto  her.  Ask  on,  my  mother :  for  I  will  not  deny  thee. 

2 1  And  she  said.  Let  Ab'i-shag  the  Shu'nam-mite  be  given 

22  to  Ad-o-ni'jah  thy  brother  to  wife.  And  king  Sol'o-mon 
answered  and  said  unto  his  mother,  And  why  dost  thou 
ask  Ab'i-shag  the  Shu'nam-mite  for  Ad-o-ni'jah  ?  ask 
for  him  the  kingdom  also ;  for  he  is  mine  elder  brother; 
even  for  him,  and  for  A-bi'a-thar  the  priest,  and  for 

23  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah.  Then  king  Sol'o-mon 
sware  by  the  Lord,  saying,  God  do  so  to  me,  and 
more  also,  if  Ad-o-ni'jah  have  not  spoken  this  word 

24  against  his  own  life.  Now  therefore  as  the  Lord 
liveth,  who  hath  established  me,  and  set  me  on  the 
throne  of  Da'vid  my  father,  and  who  hath  made  me 
an  house,  as  he  promised,  surely  Ad-o-ni'jah  shall  be 

25  put  to  death  this  day.  And  king  Sol'o-mon  sent  by 
the  hand  of  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da ;  and  he 

26  fell  upon  him,  that  he  died.  And  unto  A-bi'a-thar 
the  priest  said  the  king.  Get  thee  to  An'a-thoth,  unto 
thine  own  fields;  for  thou  art  'worthy  of  death:  but 
I  will  not  at  this  time  put  thee  to  death,  because 
thou  barest  the  ark  of  the  Lord  God  before  Da'vid 
my   father,  and  because  thou  wast  afflicted  in   all 

27  wherein  my  father  was  afflicted.  So  Sol'o-mon  thrust 
out  A-bi'a-thar  from  being  priest  unto  the  Lord;  that 
he  might  fulfil  ^the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake 

28  concerning  the  house  of  E'li  in  Shi'loh.  And  the  tid- 
ings came  to  Jo'ab :  for  Jo'ab  had  turned  after  Ad-o-ni'- 
jah, though  he  turned  not  after  Ab'sa-lom.  And  Jo'ab 
fled  unto  the  Tent  of  the  Lord,  and  caught  hold  on 

29  the  horns  of  the  altar.  And  it  was  told  king  Sol'o- 
mon,  Jo'ab  is  fled  unto  the  Tent  of  the  Lord,  and, 
behold,  he  is  by  the  altar.  Then  Sol'o-mon  sent  Be- 
'na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da,  saying, Go, fall  upon  him. 

30  And  Be-na'iah  came  to  the  Tent  of  the  Lord,  and  said 
unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  king.  Come  forth.     And  he

saidjNay;  but  I  will  die  here.    AriBe-na'iahbroughttheking 
word  again,  saying,  Thus  sai^l  Jo'ab,and  thus  he  answered  me. 

31  And  the  king  said  unto  him, ''Do  as  he  hath  said,  and 
fall  upon  him,  and  bury  him ;  'that  thou  mayest  take  away 
the  innocent  blood,  which  Jo'ab  shed,  from  me,  and  from 
the  house  of  my  fether. 

32  And  the  Lord  'shall  return  his  blood  upon  his  own 
head,  who  fell  upon  two  men  more  righteous  "and  better  than 
he,  and  slew  them  with  the  sword,  my  father  Da'vid  not 
knowing  thereof,  to  wit,  ''Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  captain  of 
the  host  of  Is'ra-el,  and  "Am'a-sa  the  son  of  Je'ther,  captain 
of  the  host  of  Ju'dah. 

33  Their  blood  shall  therefore  return  upon  the  head  of 
Jo'ab,  and  'upon  the  head  of  his  seed  for  ever :  "but  upon 
Da'vid,  and  upon  his  seed,  and  upon  his  house,  and  upon 
h's  throne,  shall  there  be  peace  for  ever  from  the  Lord. 

34  So  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  went  up,  and  fell 
upon  him,  and  slew  him :  and  he  was  buried  in  his  own 
house  in  the  wilderness. 

35  ^And  the  king  put  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  in 
his  room  over  the  host:  and  'Za'dok  the  priest  did  the 
king  put  in  the  room  of  "A-bi'a-thar. 

36  ^And  the  king  sent  and  called  for  ''Shim'e-i,  and  said 
unto  him,  Build  thee  a  house  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  dwell 
there,  and  go  not  forth  thence  any  whither. 

37  For  it  shall  be,  that  on  the  day  thou  goest  out,  and  pass- 
est  ov^er  'the  brook  Kid'ron,  thou  shalt  know  for  certain  that 
thou  shalt  surely  die :  •'^thy  blood  shall  be  upon  thine  own  head. 

38  And  Shim'e-i  said  unto  the  king.  The  saying  is  good : 
as  my  lord  the  king  hath  said,  so  will  thy  servant  do.  And 
Shim'e-i  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  many  days. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  three  years,  that  two 
of  the  servants  of  Shim'e-i  ran  away  unto  'A'chish  son  of 
Ma'a-chah  king  of  Gath.  And  they  told  Shim'e-i,  saying, 
Behold,  thy  servants  be  in  Gath. 

40  And  Shim'e-i  arose  and  saddled  his  ass,  and  went  to 
Gath  to  A'chish  to  seek  his  servants :  and  Shim'e-i  went, 
and  brought  his  servants  from  Gtath. 

41  And  it  was  told  Sol'o-mon  that  Shim'e-i  had  gone  from 
Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Gath,  and  was  come  again. 

42  And  the  king  sent  and  called  for  Shim'e-i,  and  said 
unto  him.  Did  I  not  make  thee  to  swear  by  the  Lord,  and 
protested  unto  thee,  saying.  Know  for  a  certain,  on  the  day 
thou  goest  out,  and  walkest  abroad  any  whither,  that  thou 
shalt  surely  die?    and  thou  saidst  unto  me.  The  word  that 

have  heard  is  good. 

43  Why  then  hast  thou  not  kept  the  oath  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  commandment  that  I  have  charged  thee  with  ? 

44  The  kiug  said  moreover  to  Shim'e-i,  Thou  knowest 
all  the  wickedness  which  thine  heart  is  privy  to,  that  thou 

didst  to  Da'vid  my  father ;  therefore  the  Lord  shall  'return 
thy  wickedness  upon  thine  own  head : 

45  And  king  Sol'o-mon  shall  be  blessed,  and  *the  throne 
of  Da'vid  shall  be  established  before  the  Lord  for  ever. 

46  So  the  king  commanded  Be-nafiah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'- 
-da :  which  went  out,  and  fell  upon  him,  that  he  died.     And 

the  'kingdom  was  established  in  the  hand  of  Sol'o-mon. 
CHAPTER  III 

Solomon^s  choice  of  wisdom. 

AND  "Sol'o-mon  made  affinity  with  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gj'pt,  and  took  Pha'raoh's  daughter,  and  brought  her 
into  the  ''city  of  Da'vid,  until  he  had  made  an  end  of  build- 
ing his  "own  house,  and  ''the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  round  about. 

2  -^Only  the  people  sacrificed  in  high  places,  because  there  was 
no  house  built  unto  the  name  of  the  Lord,  until  those  days. 

3  And  Sol'o-mon  "loved  the  Lord,  *walking  in  the  statutes 
of  Da'vid  his  father:  only  he  sacrificed  and  burnt  incense 
in  high  places. 


said.  Nay;    but    I   will  die   here.     And  Be-na'iah 
brought   the    king  word   again,  saying.  Thus  said 

31  Jo'ab,  and  thus  he  answered  me.  And  the  king  said 
unto  him.  Do  as  he  hath  said,  and  fall  upon  him, 
and  bury  him;  that  thou  mayest  take  away  the 
blood,  which  Jo'ab  shed  without  cause,  from  me  and 

32  from  my  father's  house.  And  the  Lord  shall  return 
his  blood  upon  his  own  head,  because  he  fell  upon 
two  men  more  righteous  and  better  than  he,  and 
slew  them  with  the  sword,  and  my  father  Da'vid 
knew  it  not,  to  wit,  Ab'ner  the  son  of  Ner,  captain 
of  the  host  of  Is'ra-el,  and  Am'a-sa  the  son  of  Je'ther, 

33  captain  of  the  host  of  Ju'dah.  So  shall  their  blood 
return  upon  the  head  of  Jo'ab,  and  upon  the  head  of 
his  seed  for  ever :  but  unto  Da'vid,  and  unto  his  seed, 
and  unto  his  house,  and  unto  his  throne,  shall  there 

34  be  peace  for  ever  from  the  Lord.  Then  Be-na'iah 
the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  went  up,  and  fell  upon  him,  and 
slew  him;   and  he  was  buried  in  his  own  house  in 

35  the  wilderness.  And  the  king  put  Be-na'iah  the  son 
of  Je-hoi'a-da  in  his  room  over  the  host :  and  Za'dok 
the  priest  did  the  king  put  in  the  room  of  A-bi'a-thar. 

36  And  the  king  sent  and  called  for  Shim'e-i,  and  said 
unto  him,  Build  thee  an  house  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
dwell  there,  and  go  not  forth  thence  any  whither. 

37  For  on  the  day  thou  goest  out,  and  passest  over  the 
brook  Kid'ron,  know  thou  for  certain  that  thou  shalt 
surely  die ;  thy  blood  shall  be  upon  thine  own  head. 

38  And  Shim'e-i  said  unto  the  king,  The  saying  is  good : 
as  my  lord  the  king  hath  said,  so  will  thy  servant 
do.     And  Shim'e-i  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  many  days. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  three  years, 
that  two  of  the  servants  of  Shim'e-i  ran  away  unto 
A'chish,  son  of  Ma'a-cah,  king  of  Gath.  And  they 
told  Shim'e-i,  saying.  Behold,  thy  servants  be  in  Gath. 

40  And  Shim'e-i  arose,  and  saddled  his  ass,  and  went  to 
Gath  to  A'chish,  to  seek  his  servants :   and  Shim'e-i 

41  went,  and  brought  his  servants  from  Gath.  And  it 
was  told  Sol'o-mon  that  Shim'e-i  had  gone  from  Je- 

42  ru'sa-lem  to  Gath,  and  was  come  again.  And  the  king 
sent  and  called  for  Shim'e-i,  and  said  unto  him.  Did  I 
not  make  thee  to  swear  by  the  Lord,  and  protested 
unto  thee,  saying.  Know  for  certain,  that  on  the  day 
thou  goest  out,  and  walkest  abroad  any  whither, 
thou  shalt  surely  die?  and   thou   saidst  unto   me, 

43  The  saying  that  I  have  heard  is  good.  Why  then 
hast  thou  not  kept  the  oath  of  the  Lord,  and  the 

44  commandment  that  I  have  charged  thee  with  ?  The 
king  said  moreover  to  Shim'e-i,  Thou  knowest  all  the 
wickedness  which  thine  heart  is  privy  to,  that  thou 
didst  to  Da'vid  my  father :  therefore  the  Lord  shall 

45  return  thy  wickedness  upon  thine  own  head.  But 
king  Sol'o-mon  shall  be  blessed,  and  the  throne  of 
Da'vid  shall  be  established  before  the  Lord  for  ever. 

46  So  the  king  commanded  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'- 
a-da; and  he  went  out,  and  fell  upon  him,  that  he 
died.  And  the  kingdom  was  established  in  the  hand 
of  Sol'o-mon. 

O  And  Sol'o-mon  made  affinity  with  Pha'raoh  king 
of  E'gypt,  and  took  Pha'raoh's  daughter,  and  brought 
her  into  the  city  of  Da'vid,  until  he  had  made  an  end 
of  building   his  own  house,  and  the  house  of  the 

2  Lord,  and  the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  round  about.  Only 
the  people  sacrificed  in  the  high  places,  because 
there  was  no  house  built  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 

3  until  those  days.  And  Sol'o-mon  loved  the  Lord, 
walking  in  the  statutes  of  Da'vid  his  father:  only  he 
sacrificed  and  burnt  incense  in  the  high  places.

4  And  'the  king  went  to  Gib'e-on  to  sacrifice  there ;  *for 
that  was  the  great  high  place:  a  thousand  burnt  offerings 
did  Sol'o-mon  offer  upon  that  altar. 

5  ^'In  Gib'e-on  the  Lord  appeared  to  Sol'o-mon  "in  a  dream 
by  night :  and  God  said,  Ask  what  I  shall  give  thee. 

6  "And  Sol'o-mon  said,  Thou  hast  shewed  unto  thy  servant 
Da'vid  my  father  great  |1  mercy,  according  as  he  "walked  be- 
fore thee  in  truth,  and  in  righteousness,  and  in  uprightness 
of  heart  with  thee ;  and  thou  hast  kept  for  him  this  great 
kindness,  that  thou  ''hast  given  him  a  son  to  sit  on  his  throne, 
as  it  is  this  day. 

7  And  now,  O  Lord  my  God,  thou  hast  made  thy  servant 
king  instead  of  Da'vid  my  father :  'and  I  am  6m<  a  little  child : 
I  know  not  how  ''to  go  out  or  come  in. 

8  And  thy  servant  is  in  the  midst  of  thy  people  which 
thou  'bast  chosen,  a  great  people,  that  cannot  be  numbered 
nor  counted  for  multitude. 

9  "Give  therefore  thy  servant  an  f  understanding  heart  *to 
judge  thy  people,  that  I  may  ''discern  between  good  and 
bad :  for  who  is  able  to  judge  this  thy  so  great  a  people  ? 

10  And  the  speech  pleased  the  Lord,  that  Sol'o-mon  had 
asked  this  thing. 

11  And  God  said  unto  him,  Because  thou  ha.st  asked  thits 
thing,  and  hast  "not  asked  for  thyself  flong  life ;  neither 
hast  asked  riches  for  thyself,  nor  hast  asked  the  life  of  thine 
enemies ;  but  hast  asked  for  thyself  understanding  fto  dis- 
cern judgment; 

12  "Behold,  I  have  done  according  to  thy  word:  'lo,  I 
have  given  thee  a  wise  and  an  understanding  heart ;  so  that 
there  was  none  like  thee  before  thee,  neither  after  thee  shall 
any  arise  like  unto  thee. 

13  And  I  have  also  ""given  thee  that  which  thou  hast  not 
asked,  both  ''riches,  and  honour:  so  that  there  ||  shall  not  be 
any  among  the  kings  like  unto  thee  all  thy  days. 

14  And  if  thou  wilt  walk  in  my  ways,  to  keep  my  statutes 
and  my  commandments,  'as  thy  father  Da'vid  did  walk,  then 
I  will  ■'^  lengthen  thy  days. 

15  And  Sol'o-mon  'awoke;  and,  behold,  it  was  a  dream. 
And  he  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  stood  before  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord,  and  offered  up  burnt  offerings,  and 
offered  peace  offerings,  and  *made  a  feast  to  all  his  servants. 

16  ^Then  came  there  two  women,  that  were  harlots,  unto 
the  king,  and  'stood  before  him. 

17  And  the  one  woman  said,  O  my  lord,  I  and  this  woman 
dwell  in  one  house ;  and  I  was  delivered  of  a  child  with  her 
in  the  house. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  the  third  day  after  that  I  was  de- 
livered, that  this  woman  was  delivered  also :  and  we  were 
together ;  there  was  no  stranger  with  us  in  the  house,  save 
we  two  in  the  house. 

19  And  this  woman's  child  died  in  the  night;  because  she 
overlaid  it. 

20  And  she  arose  at  midnight,  and  took  my  son  from 
beside  me,  while  thine  handmaid  slept,  and  laid  it  in  her 
bosom,  and  laid  her  dead  child  in  my  bosom. 

21  And  when  I  rose  in  the  morning  to  give  my  child 
suck,  behold,  it  was  dead :  but  when  I  had  considered  it  in 
the  morning,  behold,  it  Avas  not  my  son,  which  I  did  bear. 

22  And  the  other  woman  said,  Nay ;  but  the  living  is  my 
son,  and  the  dead  is  thy  son.  And  this  said,  No ;  but  the 
dead  is  thy  son,  and  the  living  is  my  son.  Thus  they  spake 
before  the  king. 

23  Then  said  the  king,  The  one  saith.  This  is  my  son  that 
liveth,  and  thy  son  is  the  dead ;  and  the  other  saith.  Nay ; 
but  thy  son  is  the  dead,  and  my  son  is  the  living. 

24  And  the  king  said,  Bring  me  a  sword.  And  they 
brought  a  sword  before  the  king. 

25  And  the  king  said.  Divide  me  living  child  in  two,  and 
give  half  to  the  one,  and  half  to  the  other. 


4  'And  the  king  went  to  Gib'e-on  to  sacrifice  there; 
for  that  was  the  great  high  place :  a  thousand  burnt 

5  offerings  did  Sol'o-mon  offer  upon  that  altar.  In 
Gib'e-on  the  Lord  appeared  to  Sol'o-mon  in  a  dream 
by  night :  and  God  said.  Ask  what  I  shall  give  thee, 

6  And  Sol'o-mon  said,  Thou  hast  shewed  unto  thy  serv- 
ant Da'vid  my  father  great  kindness,  according  as 
he  walked  before  thee  in  truth,  and  in  righteousness, 
and  in  uprightness  of  heart  with  thee ;  and  thou  hast 
kept  for  him  this  great  kindness,  that  thou  hast 
given  him  a  son  to  sit  on  his  throne,  as  it  is  this 

7  day.  And  now,  O  Lord  my  God,  thou  hast  made 
thy  servant  king  instead  of  Da'vid  my  father :  and  I 
am  but  a  little  child ;  I  know  not  how  to  go  out  or 

8  come  in.  And  thy  servant  is  in  the  midst  of  thy 
people  which  thou  hast  chosen,  a  great  people,  that 
cannot    be    numbered    nor   counted  for    multitude. 

9  Give  thy  servant  therefore  an  ^understanding  heart 
to  judge  thy  people,  that  I  may  discern  between 
good  and  evil;  for  who  is  able  to  judge  this  thy 

lO^great  people?     And  the  speech  pleased  the  Lord, 

11  that  Sol'o-mon  had  asked  this  thing.  And  God  said 
unto  him,  Because  thou  hast  asked  this  thing,  and 
hast  not  asked  for  thyself  *long  life;  neither  hast 
asked  riches  for  thyself,  nor  hast  asked  the  life  of 
thine  enemies ;   but  hast  asked  for  thyself  under- 

12 standing  to  'discern  judgement;  behold,  I  have  done 
according  to  thy  word :  lo,  I  have  given  thee  a  wise 
and  an  ^understanding  heart ;  so  that  there  hath  been 
none  like  thee  before  thee,  neither  after  thee  shall 

13 any  arise  like  unto  thee.  And  I  have  also  given 
thee  that  which  thou  hast  not  asked,  both  riches  and 
honour,  so  that  there  ^shall  not  be  any  among  the 

14  kings  like  unto  thee,  all  thy  days.     And  if  thou  wilt 
walk  in  my  ways,  to  keep  my  statutes  and  my  com 
mandments,  as  thy  father  Da'vid  did  walk,  then  I 

15  will  lengthen  thy  days.  And  Sol'o-mon  awoke,  and, 
behold,  it  was  a  dream :  and  he  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  stood  before  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  and  offered  up  burnt  offerings,  and  offered 
peace  offerings,  and  made  a  feast  to  all  his  servants. 

16  Then  came  there  two  women,  that  were  harlots, 

17  unto  the  king,  and  stood  before  him.  And  the  one 
woman  said.  Oh  my  lord,  I  and  this  woman  dwell 
in  one  house ;  and  I  was  delivered  of  a  child  with 

18  her  in  the  house.  And  it  came  to  pass  the  third 
day  after  I  was  delivered,  that  this  woman  was 
delivered  also ;  and  we  were  together ;  there  was  no 
stranger  with  us  in  the  house,  save  we  two  in  the 

19 house.     And  this  woman's  child  died  in  the  night; 

20  because  she  overlaid  it.  And  she  arose  at  midnight, 
and  took  my  son  from  beside  me,  while  thine  hand- 
maid slept,  and  laid  it  in  her  bosom,  and  laid  her 

21  dead  child  in  my  bosom.  And  when  I  rose  in  the 
morning  to  give  my  child  suck,  behold,  it  was  dead : 
but  when  I  had  considered  it  in  the  morning,  behold, 

22  it  was  not  my  son,  which  I  did  bear.  And  the 
other  woman  said.  Nay;  but  the  living  is  my 
son,  and  the  dead  is  thy  son.  And  this  said. 
No ;    but  the   dead   is  thy  son,  and  the  living  is 

23  my  son.  Thus  they  spake  before  the  king.  Then 
said  the  king.  The  one  saith.  This  is  my  son 
that  liveth,  and  thy  son  is  the  dead :  and  the 
other  saith.  Nay;    but  thy   son   is   the   dead,  and 

24  my  son  is  the  living.  And  the  king  said.  Fetch 
me  a  sword.     And  they  brought  a  sword  before  the 

25  king.  And  the  king  said.  Divide  the  living  child  in 
two,  and  give  half  to  the  one,  and  half  to  the  other.

26  Then  spake  the  woman  whose  the  living  child  was 
unto  the  king,  for  *her  bowels  f  yearned  upon  her  son,  and 
she  said,  O  my  lord,  give  her  the  living  child,  and  in  no  wise 
slay  it.  But  the  other  said.  Let  it  be  neither  mine  nor 
thine,  but  divide  it. 

27  Then  the  king  answered  and  said,  Give  her  the  liv- 
ing child,  and  in  no  wise  slay  it :  she  is  the  mother 
thereof. 

28  And  all  Is'ra-el  heard  of  the  judgment  which  the  king 
had  judged;  and  they  feared  the  king:  for  they  saw  that 
the  'wisdom  of  God  was  fin  him,  to  do  judgment. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

Solomon^s  princes — His  twelve  officers  for  provision. 

SO  king  Sol'o-mon  was  king  over  all  Is'ra-el. 
2  And  these  were  the  princes  which  he  had :  Az-a-ri'ah

7  51  And  Sol'o-mon  had  twelve  officers  over  all  Is'ra-el,  which 
provided  victuals  for  the  king  and  his  household ;  each  man

8  And  these  are  their  names :  |{  The  son  of  Hur,  in  mount 
E'phra-im :

and  Me-gid'do,  and  all  Beth-she'an,  which  is  by  Zar'ta-nah 
beneath  Jez're-el,  from  Beth-she'an  to  A'bel-me-ho'lah,  even 
unto  the  place  that  is  beyond  Jok'ne-am  : 

13  II  The  son  of  Ge'ber,  in  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad ;  to  him  per-

unto  the  king,  for  her  bowels  yearned  upon  her 
son,  and  she  said.  Oh  my  lord,  give  her  the  living 
child,  and  in  no  wise  slay  it.     But  the  other  said,

the  king  answered  and  said.  Give  her  the  living 
child,  and  in  no  wise  slay  it :  she  is  the  mother  there-

the  king  had  judged ;  and  they  feared  the  king : 
for  they  saw  that  the  wisdom  of  God  was  in  him, 
to  do  judgement.

over  all  Is'ra-el,  which  provided  victuals  for  the  king 
and  his  household :  each  man  had  to  make  provision 

8  for  a  month  in  the  year.     And  these  are  their  names :

CHAPTER  V. 

Hiram  sendeth  to  congratulate  Solomon. 

AND  "Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre  sent  his  servants  unto  Sol'o- 
mon  ;  for  he  had  heard  that  they  had  anointed  hir.i  king  in 
the  room  of  his  father :  'for  Hi'ram  was  ever  a  lover  of  Da' vid. 

2  And  "Sol'o-mon  sent  to  Hi'ram,  saying, 

3  Thou  knowest  how  that  Da'vid  my  father  could  not 
build  a  house  unto  the  name  of  the  Lord  his  God,  ''for  the 
wars  which  were  about  him  on  every  side,  until  the  Loed 
put  them  under  the  soles  of  hii,  feet. 

4  But  now  the  Lord  my  God  hath  given  me  'rest  on  every 
side,  so  that  there  is  neither  adversary  nor  evil  occurrent. 

5  ■'^And,  behold,  I  fpurpose  to  build  a  house  unto  the 
name  of  the  Lord  my  God,  "as  the  Lord  spake  unto  Da'vid 
my  fiither,  saying.  Thy  son,  whom  I  will  set  upon  thy  throne 
in  thy  room,  he  shall  build  a  house  unto  my  name. 

6  Now  therefore  command  thou  that  they  hew  me  *cedar 
trees  out  of  Leb'a-non ;  and  my  servants  shall  be  with  thy 
servants:  and  unto  thee  will  I  give  hire  for  thy  servants 
according  to  all  that  thou  shalt  fappoint :  for  thou  knowest 
that  there  is  not  among  us  any  that  can  skill  to  hew  timber 
like  unto  the  Si-do'ni-ans. 

7  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Hi'ram  heard  the  words  of 
Sol'o-mon,  that  he  rejoiced  greatly,  and  said,  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  this  day,  which  hath  given  unto  Da'vid  a  wise  son 
over  this  great  people. 

8  And  Hi'ram  sent  to  Sol'o-mon,  saying,  I  have  fconsidered 
the  things  which  thou  sentest  to  me  for:  and  I  will  do  all  thy 
desire  concerning  timber  of  cedar,  and  concerning  timber  of  fir. 

9  My  servants  shall  bring  them  down  from  Leb'a-non  unto 
the  sea;  'and  I  will  convey  them  by  sea  in  floats  unto  the 
place  that  thou  shalt  fappoint  me,  and  will  cause  them  to 
be  discharged  there,  and  thou  shalt  receive  them:  and  thou 
shalt  accomplish  my  desire,  *in  giving  food  for  my  household. 

10  So  Hi'ram  gave  Sol'o-mon  cedar  trees  and  fir  trees  ac- 
cording to  all  his  desire. 

1 1  'And  Sol'o-mon  gave  Hi'ram  twenty  thousand  fmeasures 
of  wheat  for  food  to  his  household,  and  twenty  measures  of 
pure  oil :  thus  gave  Sol'o-mon  to  Hi'ram  year  by  year. 

12  And  the  Lord  gave  Sol'o-mon  wisdom,  "as  he  promised 
him :  and  there  was  peace  between  Hi'ram  and  Sol'o-mon ; 
and  they  two  made  a  league  together. 


his  vine  and  under  his  fig  tree,  from  Dan  even  to 

26  Be'er-she'ba,  all  the  days  of  Sol'o-mon.  And  SoFo- 
mon  had  'forty  thousand  stalls  of  horses    for    his 

27  chariots,  and  twelve  thousand  horsemen.  And  those 
officers  provided  victual  for  king  Sol'o-mon,  and  for 

"  all  that  came  unto  king  Sol'o-mon's  table,  every  man 

28  in  his  month :  they  let  nothing  be  lacking.  Barley 
also  and  straw  for  the  horses  and  swift  steeds  brought 
they  unto  the  place  ^where  the  officers  were,  every 
man  according  to  his  charge. 

29  And  God  gave  Sol'o-mon  wisdom  and  understand- 
ing exceeding  much,  and  largeness  of  heart,  even  as 

30  the  sand  that  is  on  the  sea  shore.  And  Sol'o-mon's 
wisdom  excelled  the  wisdom  of  all  the  children  of 

31  the  east,  and  all  the  wisdom  of  E'gypt.  For  he  was 
wiser  than  all  men;  than  E'than  the  Ez'ra-hite,  and 
He'man,  and  Cal'col,  and  Dar'da,  the  sons  of  Ma'hol : 
and  his  fame  was  in  all  the  nations    round  about. 

32 And  he  spake  three    thousand    proverbs:    and    his 

33  songs  were  a  thousand  and  five.  And  he  spake  of 
trees,  from  the  cedar  that  is  in  Leb'a-non  even  unto 
the  hyssop  that  springeth  out  of  the  wall :  he  spake 
also  of  beasts,  and  of  fowl,  and  of  creeping  things, 

34  and  of  fishes.  And  there  came  of  all  peoples  to  hear 
the  wisdom  of  Sol'o-mon,  from  all  kings  of  the  earth, 
which  had  heard  of  his  wisdom. 

Q  'And  Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre  sent  his  servants  unto 
Sol'o-mon ;  for  he  had  heard  that  they  had  anointed 
him  king  in  the  room  of  his  father:  for  Hi'ram  was 

2  ever  a  lover  of  Da'vid.  AndSol'o-mon  sent  to  Hi'ram, 

3  saying.  Thou  knowest  how  that  Da'vid  my  father 
could  not  build  an  house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord 
his  God  for  the  wars  which  were  about  him  on  every 
side,  until  the  Lord  put  them  under  the  soles  of  his 

4  feet.  But  now  the  Lord  my  God  hath  given  me  rest 
on  every  side;  there  is  neither  adversary,  nor  evil 

5  occurrent.  And,  behold,  I  purpose  to  build  an  house 
for  the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God,  as  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Da'vid  my  father,  saying,  Thy  son,  whom  I  will 
set  upon  thy  throne  in  thy  room,  he  shall  build  the 

6  house  for  ray  name.  Now  therefore  command  thou 
that  they  hew  me  cedar  trees  out  of  Leb'a-non ;  and 
my  servants  shall  be  with  thy  servants;  and  I  will 
give  thee  hire  for  thy  servants  according  to  all  that 
thou  shalt  say :  for  thou  knowest  that  there  is  not 
among  us  any  that  can  skill  to  hew  timber  like  unto 

7  the  Zi-do'ni-ans.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Hi'ram 
heard  the  words  of  SoFo-mon,  that  he  rejoiced  greatly, 
and  said.  Blessed  be  the  Lord  this  day,  Avhich  hath 
given  unto  Da'vid  a  wise  son  over  this  great  people. 

8  And  Hi'ram  sent  to  Sol'o-mon,  saying,  I  have  heard 
the  message  which  thou  hast  sent  unto  me :  I  will  do 
all  thy  desire  concerning  timber  of  cedar,  and  con- 

9  cerning  timber  of  *fir.  My  servants  shall  bring  them 
down  from  Leb'a-non  unto  the  sea:  and  I  will  make 
them  into  rafts  to  go  by  sea  unto  the  place  that  thou 
shalt  appoint  me,  and  will  cause  them  to  be  broken 
up  there,  and  thou  shalt  'receive  them:  and  thou 
shalt  accomplish  my  desire,  in  giving  food  for  my 

10  household.  So  'Hi'ram  gave  SoJ'o-mon  timber  of 
cedar  and  timber  of  fir  according  to  all  his  desire. 

11  And  Sol'o-mon  gave  Hi'ram  twenty  thousand  'meas- 
ures of  wheat  for  food  to  his  household,  and  twenty 
measures  of  *pure  oil:   thus  gave  Sol'o-mon  to  Hi'ram 

12  year  by  year.  And  theLoRD  gave  Sol'o-mon  wisdom,  as 
he  promised  him ;  and  there  was  peace  between  Hi'ram 
ana  Sol'o-mon ;  and  they  two  made  a  league  together.

and  the  levy  was  thirty  thousand  men. 

14  And  he  sent  them  to  Leb'a-non  ten  thousand  a  month 
by  courses ;  a  month  they  were  in  Leb'a-non,  and  two  months 
at  home :  and  "Ad-o-ni'ram  was  over  the  levy. 

15  "And  Sol'o-mon  had  threescore  and  ten  thousand  that 
bare  burdens,  and  fourscore  thousand  hewers  in  the 
mountains ; 

16  Besides  the  chief  of  Sol'o-mon's  oflficers  which  were  over 
ths  work,  three  thousand  and  three  hundred,  which  ruled 
over  the  people  that  wrought  in  the  work. 

17  And  the  king  commanded,  and  they  brought  great 
stones,  costly  stones,  and  "hewed  stones,  to  lay  the  founda- 
tion of  the  house. 

18  And  Sol'o-mon's  builders  and  Hi'rara's  builders  did  hew 
them,  and  the  ||stonesquarers:  so  they  prepared  timber  and 
stones  to  build  the  house. 

CHAPTER   VI. 

The  building;  of  Solomon^ s  temple. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass  in  the  four  hundred  and  eightieth 
year  after  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  come  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  fourth  year  of  Sol'o-mon's  reign  over 
Is'ra-el,  in  the  month  of  Zif,  which  is  the  second  month, 
that  'he  fbegan  to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

2  And  'the  house  which  king  Sol'o-mon  built  for  the 
Lord,  the  length  thereof  was  threescore  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  thereof  twenty  cubits,  and  the  height  thereof  thirty 
cubits. 

3  And  the  porch  before  the  temple  of  the  house,  twenty 
cubits  was  the  length  thereof,  according  to  the  breadth  of  the 
house ;  and  ten  cubits  was  the  breadth  thereof  before  the 
house. 

4  And  for  the  house  he  made  ''||  windows  of  narrow  lights. 

5  "[[And  II  against  the  wall  of  the  house  he  built  'fcham- 
bers  round  about,  against  the  walls  of  the  house  round  about, 
both  of  the  temple  ■'land  of  the  oracle  :  and  he  made  fcham- 
bers  round  about. 

6  The  nethermost  chamber  was  five  cubits  broad,  and  the 
middle  was  six  cubits  broad,  and  the  third  was  seven  cubits 
broad :  for  without  in  the  wall  of  the  house  he  made  fnar- 
rowed  rests  round  about,  that  the  beams  should  not  be  fast- 
ened in  the  walls  of  the  house. 

7  And  'the  house,  when  it  wqs  in  building,  was  built  of 
stone  made  ready  before  it  was  brought  thither :  so  that 
there  was  neither  hammer  nor  axe  nor  any  tool  of  iron 
heard  in  the  house,  v/hile  it  was  in  building. 

8  The  door  for  the  middle  chamber  was  in  the  right  fside 
of  the  house  :  and  they  went  up  with  winding  stairs  into  the 
middle  chamber,  and  out  of  the  middle  into  the  third. 

9  *So  he  built  the  house  and  finished  it;  and  covered  the 
house  II  with  beams  and  boards  of  cedar. 

10  And  then  he  built  chambers  against  all  the  house,  five 
cubits  high:  and  they  rested  on  the  house  with  timber  of 
cedar. 

11  ^And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Sol'o-mon,  saying, 

12  Concerning  this  house  which  thou  art  in  building,  'if 
thou  wilt  walk  in  my  statutes,  and  execute  my  judgments, 
and  keep  all  my  commandments  to  walk  in  them ;  then  will 
I  perform  my  word  with  thee,  *which  I  spake  unto  Da'vid 
thy  father: 

13  And  'I  will  dwell  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
will  not  "forsake  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

14  "So  Sol'o-mon  built  the  house,  and  finished  it. 

15  And  he  built  the  walls  of  the  house  within  with  boards 
of  cedar,  ||  both  the  floor  of  the  house,  and  the  walls  of  the 
ceiling :  and  he  covered  them  on  the  inside  with  wood,  and 
covered  the  floor  of  the  house  with  planks  of  fir. 

16  And  he  built  twenty  cubits  on  the  sides  of  the  house, 
both  the  floor  and  the  walls  with  boards  of  cedar :  he  even 


13  And  king  Sol'o-mon  raised  a  levy  out  of  all  Is'ra-el ; 

14  and  the  levy  was  thirty  thousand  men.  And  he  sent 
them  to  Leb'a-non,  ten  thousand  a  month  by  courses: 
a  month  they  were  in  Leb'a-non,  and  two  months  at 

15  home :  and  Ad-o-ni'ram  was  over  the  levy.  And  Sol'o- 
mon  had  threescore  and  ten  thousand  that  bare  bur- 
dens, and  fourscore  thousand  that  were  hewers  in 

16  the  mountains;  besides  Sol'o-mon's  chief  ofiicers  that 
were  over  the  work,  three  thousand  and  three  hun- 
dred, which  bare  rule  over  the  people  that  wrought 

17  in  the  work.  And  the  king  commanded,  and  they 
'hewed   out   great  stones,  costly  stones,  to   lay  the 

18  foundation  of  the  house  with  wrought  stone.  And 
Sol'o-mon's  builders  and  Hi'ram's  builders  and  the 
Ge'bal-ites  did  fashion  them,  and  prepared  the  timber 
and  the  stones  to  build  the  hojise. 

0  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  four  hundred  and 
eightieth  year  after  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  come 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  fourth  year  of  Sol'o- 
mon's  reign  over  Is'ra-el,  in  the  month  Ziv,  which  is 
the  second  month,  that  he  ^began  to  build  the  house 

2  of  the  Lord.  And  the  house  which  king  Sol'o-mon 
built  for  the  Lord,  the  length  thereof  was  threescore 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof  twenty  cubits,  and  the 

3  height  thereof  thirty  cubits.  And  the  porch  before 
*the  temple  of  the  house,  twenty  cubits  was  the 
length  thereof,  according  to  the  breadth  of  the 
house;  and  ten  cubits  was  the  breadth  thereof  be- 

4  fore  the  house.     And  for  the  house  he  made  *win 
5dows  of  fixed  lattice- work.     And  against  the  wall 

of  the  house  he  built  stories  round  about,  against 
the  walls  of  the'  house  round  about,  both  of  the 
temple  and  of  Hhe  oracle :  and  he  made  side 
6 chambers  round  about:  the  nethermost  story  was 
five  cubits  broad,  and  the  middle  was  six  cubits 
broad,  and  the  third  was  seven  cubits  broad :  for  on 
the  outside  he  made  rebatements  in  the  wall  of  the 
house  round  about,  that  the  beams  should  not  have 

7  hold  in  the  walls  of  the  house.  And  the  house,  when 
it  was  in  building,  was  built  of  stone  made  ready  'at 
the  quarry :  and  there  was  neither  hammer  nor  axe 
nor  any  tool  of  iron  heard  in  the  house,  while  it  was 

8  in  building.  The  door  for  the  'middle  side-chambers 
was  in  the  right  'side,  of  the  house :  and  they  went 
up  by  winding  stairs  into  the  middle  chambers,  and 

9  out  of  the  middle  into  the  third.  So  he  built  the 
house,  and  finished  it ;    and   he   covered  the  house 

10  with  beams  and  '"planks  of  cedar.  And  he  built  the 
stories  against  all  the  house,  each  five  cubits  high: 
and  "they  rested  on  the  house  with  timber  of  cedar. 

11  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Sol-o-mon, 

12  saying,  Concerning  this  house  which  thou  art  in 
building,  if  thou  wilt  walk  in  my  statutes,  and  exe- 
cute my  judgements,  and  keep  all  my  command- 
ments to  walk  in  them ;  then  will  I  establish  my 
word  with  thee,  which    I    spake   unto   Da'vid   thy 

13  father.  And  I  will  dwell  among  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  will  not  forsake  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

14  So   Sol'o-mon   built  the    house,  and   finished   it. 

15  And  he  built  the  walls  of  the  house  within  with 
boards  of  cedar;  '^from  the  floor  of  the  house  unto 
the  walls  of  the  cieling,  he  covered  them  on  the 
inside  with  wood :  and  he  covered  the  floor  of  the 

16  house  with  boards  of  "fir.  '^And  he  built  twenty 
cubits  on  the  hinder  part  of  the  house  with  boards 
of  cedar  from  the  floor  unto  the  "walls:    he  even

built  them  for  it  witlkm,  mm,  for  tike  oracle,  even  for  the  "most 
holy  place. 

17  And  the  house,  that  is,  the  temple  before  it,  was  forty 
cubits  long. 

18  And  the  cedar  of  the  house  within  was  carved  with 
||knops  and  fopen  flowers:  all  was  cedar;  there  was  no 
stone  seen. 

19  And  the  oracle  he  prepared  in  the  house  within,  to  set 
there  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Loed. 

20  And  the  oracle  in  the  forepart  was  twenty  cubits  in 
length,  and  twenty  cubits  in  breadth,  and  twenty  cubits  in 
the  height  thereof:  and  he  overlaid  it  with  fpure  gold; 
and  so  covered  the  altar  which  was  of  cedar. 

21  So  Sol'o-mon  overlaid  the  house  within  with  pure  gold: 
and  he  made  a  partition  by  the  chains  of  gold  before  the 
oracle ;  and  he  overlaid  it  with  gold. 

22  And  the  whole  house  he  overlaid  with  gold,  until  he 
had  finished  all  the  house :  also  "the  whole  altar  that  was 
by  the  oracle  he  overlaid  with  gold. 

23  ^And  within  the  oracle  «he  made  two  cherubim  of 
II  folive  tree,  each  ten  cubits  high. 

24  And  five  cubits  was  the  one  wing  of  the  cherub,  and 
five  cubits  the  other  wing  of  the  cherub :  from  the  utter- 
most part  of  the  one  wing  unto  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
other  were  ten  cubits. 

25  And  the  other  cherub  was  ten  cubits :  both  the  cheru- 
bim were  of  one  measure  and  one  size. 

26  The  height  of  the  one  cherub  was  ten  cubits,  and  so 
was  it  of  the  other  cherub. 

27  And  he  set  the  cherubim  within  the  inner  house :  and 
'I  I  they  stretched  forth  the  wings  of  the  cherubim,  so  that 
the  wing  of  the  one  touched  the  one  wall,  and  the  wing  of 
the  other  cherub  touched  the  other  wall ;  and  their  wings 
touched  one  another  in  the  midst  of  the  house. 

28  And  he  overlaid  the  cherubim  with  gold. 

29  And  he  carved  all  the  walls  of  the  house  round  about 
with  carved  figures  of  cherubim  and  palm  trees  and  fopen 
flowers,  within  and  without. 

30  And  the  floor  of  the  house  he  overlaid  with  gold, 
within  and  without. 

31  ^  And  for  the  entering  of  the  oracle  he  made  doors  of 
olive  tree:  the  lintel  and  side  posts  were  ||a  fifth  part  of 
the  wall. 

32  The  II two  doors  also  were  of  olive  tree;  and  he  carved 
upon  them  carvings  of  cherubim  and  palm  trees  and  fopen 
flowers,  and  overlaid  them  with  gold,  and  spread  gold  upon 
the  cherubim,  and  upon  the  p^lm  trees. 

33  So  also  made  he  for  the  door  of  the  temple  posts  of 
olive  tree,  ||  a  fourth  part  of  the  wall. 

34  And  the  two  doors  were  of  fir  tree :  the  'two  leaves  of 
the  one  door  were  folding,  and  the  two  leaves  of  the  other 
door  were  folding. 

35  And  he  carved  thereon  cherubim  and  palm  trees  and 
open  flowers:  and  covered  them  with  gold  fitted  upon  the 
carved  work. 

36  ^And  he  built  the  inner  court  with  three  rows  of  hewed 
stone,  and  a  row  of  cedar  beams. 

37  ^'In  the  fourth  year  was  the  foundation  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord  laid,  in  the  month  Zif : 

38  And  in  the  eleventh  year,  in  the  month  Bui,  which  is 
the  eighth  month,  was  the  house  finished  ||  throughout  all 
the  parts  thereof,  and  according  to  all  the  fashion  of  it.  So 
was  he  "seven  years  in  building  it. 

CHAPTER   VII. 

The  building  of  Solomon's  House— 0/ the  house  of  Lebanon. 

BUT  Sol'o-mon   was  building    his  own   house  "thirteen 
years,  and  he  finished  all  his  house. 
2  ^He  built  also  the  house  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a-non ;  the 
length    thereof  was  a    hundred   cubits,   and  the   breadth 


built  ikem,  for  it  within,  for  an  oracle,  even  for 

17  the  most  holy  place.  And  the  house,  that  is,  the 
temple   before    the   oracle,   was   forty   cubits    long. 

18  And  there  was  cedar  on  the  house  within,  carved 
with    'knops    and    open    flowers :    all    was    cedar ; 

19  there  was  no  stone  seen.  And  he  prepared  an 
oracle   in    the    midst  of  the  house  within,   to  set 

20  there  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord.  And 
within  the  oracle  was  a  space  of  twenty  cubits  in 
length,  and  twenty  cubits  in  breadth,  and  twenty 
cubits  in  the  height  thereof;  and  he  overlaid  it 
with    pure    gold:  %nd    he  covered  the  altar  with 

21  cedar.  So  Sol'o-mon  overlaid  the  house  within  with 
pure  gold :  and  he  drew  chains  of  gold  across  be- 

22  fore  the  oracle ;  and  he  overlaid  it  with  gold.  And 
the  whole  house  he  overlaid  with  gold,  until  all  the 
house  was  finished:    also  the  whole  altar  that  be- 

23  longed  to  the  oracle  he  overlaid  with  gold.  'And 
in  the  oracle  he  made  two  cherubim  of  olive  wood, 

24  each  ten  cubits  high.  And  five  cubits  was  the  one 
wing  of  the  cherub,  and  five  cubits  the  other  wing 
of  the  cherub :  from  the  uttermost  part  of  the  one 
wing  unto  the   uttermost  part  of  the   other  were 

25 ten  cubits.  And  the  other  cherub  was  ten  cubits: 
both  the  cherubim  were  of  one  measure  and  one 

26  form.     The  height  of  the  one  cherub  was  ten  cubits, 

27  and  so  was  it  of  the  other  cherub.  And  he  set  the 
cherubim  within  the  inner  house :  and  the  wings  of 
the  cherubim  were  stretched  forth,  so  that  the  wing 
of  the  one  touched  the  one  wall,  and  the  wing  of 
the  other  cherub  touched  the  other  wall,  and  their 
wings    touched   one   another  in  the   midst  of  the 

28  house.     And  he  overlaid  the  cherubim  with  gold. 

29  And  he  carved  all  the  walls  of  the  house  round  about 
with  carved  figures  of  cherubim  and  palm  trees  and 

30  open  flowers,  within  and  without.  And  the  floor  of 
the  house  he  overlaid  with  gold,  within  and  with- 

31  out.  And  for  the  entering  of  the  oracle  he  made 
doors  of  olive  wood :    the  ^lintel   and  door  posts 

32  were  a  fifth  part  of  the  wall.  So  he  made  two  doors 
of  olive  wood;  and  he  carved  upon  them  carvings 
of  cherubim  and  palm  trees  and  open  flowers,  and 
overlaid  them  with  gold;  and  he  spread  the  gold 

33  upon  the  cherubim,  and  upon  the  palm  trees.  So 
also  made  he  for  the  entering  of  the  temple  door 
posts  of  olive  wood,  out  of  a  fourth  part  of  the  wall; 

34 and  two  doors  of  'fir  wood;  the  two  leaves  of  the 
one  door  were  folding,  and  the  two  leaves  of  the 

35  other  door  were  folding.  And  he  carved  thereon 
cherubim  and  palm  trees  and  open  flowers:  and  he 
overlaid    them   with   gold  fitted    upon  the   graven 

36  work.  And  he  built  the  inner  court  with  three 
rows  of  hewn  stone,   and  a   row   of  cedar  ceams. 

37  In  the  fourth  year  was  the  foundation  of  the  house 

38  of  the  Lord  laid,  in  the  month  Ziv.  And  in  the 
eleventh  year,  in  the  month  Bui,  which  is  the 
eighth  month,  was  the  house  finished  'throughout 
all  the  parts  thereof,  and  according  to  all  the 
fashion  of  it.     So  was  he  seven  years  in  building  it. 

/      And  Sol'o-mon  was  building  his  own  house  thir- 

2  teen  years,  and  he  finished  all   his  house.     For  he 

built  the  house  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a-non ;  the  length 

thereof  was  an   hundred  cubits,  and  the    breadth

5  And  all  the  ||  doors  and  posts  were  square  with  the 
windows  :  and  light  was  against  light  in  three  ranks. 

6  ^And  he  made  a  porch  of  pillars ;  the  length  thereof 
was  fifty  cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof  thirty  cubits :  and 
the  porch  was  \\  before  them :  and  the  other  pillars  and  the 
thick  beam  were  ||  before  them. 

7  ^Then  he  made  a  porch  for  the  throne  where  he  might 
judge,  even  the  porch  of  judgment :  and  it  was  covered  with 
cedar  ffrom  one  side  of  the  floor  to  the  other. 

8  ^And  his  house  where  he  dwelt  had  another  court 
within  the  porch,  which  was  of  the  like  work.  Sol'o-mon 
made  also  a  house  for  Pha'raoh's  daughter,  ""whom  he  had 
taken  to  wife,  like  unto  this  porch. 

9  All  these  were  of  costly  stones,  according  to  the  meas- 
ures of  hewed  stones,  sawed  with  saws,  within  and  without, 
even  from  the  foundation  unto  the  coping,  and  so  on  the  out- 
side toward  the  great  court. 

10  And  the  foundation  was  of  costly  stones,  even  great 
stones,  stones  of  ten  cubits,  and  stones  of  eight  cubits. 

11  And  above  were  costly  stones,  after  the  measures  of 
hewed  stones,  and  cedars. 

12  And  the  great  court  round  about  was  with  three  rows  of 
hewed  stones,  and  a  row  of  cedar  beams,  both  for.  the  inner 
court  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  'and  for  the  porch  of  the  house. 

13  ^And  king  Sol'o-mon  sent  and  fetched  ''Hi'ram  out 
of  Tyre. 

14  'He  was  fa.  widow's  son  of  the  tribe  of  Naph'ta-li,  and 
'his  father  was  a  man  of  Tyre,  a  worker  in  brass :  and  "he 
was  filled  with  wisdom,  and  understanding,  and  cunning  to 
work  all  works  in  brass.  And  he  came  to  king  Sol'o-mon, 
and  wrought  all  his  work. 

15  For  he  ff'ast  Hwo  pillars  of  brass,  of  eighteen  cubits 
high  apiece :  and  a  line  of  twelve  cubits  did  compass  either 
of  them  about. 

16  And  he  made  two  chapiters  of  molten  brass,  to  set  upon 
the  tops  of  the  pillars :  the  height  of  the  one  chapiter  was  five 
cubits,  and  the  height  of  the  other  chapiter  was  five  cubits : 

17  And  nets  of  checker  work,  and  wreaths  of  chain  work, 
for  the  chapiters  which  were  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars ; 
seven  for  the  one  chapiter,  and  seven  for  the  other  chapiter. 

18  And  he  made  the  pillars,  and  two  rows  round  about 
upon  the  one  network,  to  cover  the  chapiters  that  were 
upon  the  top,  with  pomegranates :  and  so  did  he  for  the 
other  chapiter. 

19  And  the  chapiters  that  were  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars 
were  of  lily  work  in  the  porch,  four  cubits. 

20  And  the  chapiters  upon  the  two  pillars  had  pomegranates 
also  above,  over  against  the  belly  which  waa  by  the  net- 
work :  and  the  pomegranates  were  'two  hundred  in  rows 
round  about  upon  the  other  chapiter. 

21  *And  he  set  up  the  pillars  in  'the  porch  of  the  temple  : 
and  he  set  up  the  right  pillar,  and  called  the  name  thereof 
II  Ja'chin  :  and  he  set  up  the  left  pillar,  and  called  the  name 
thereof  ||Bo'az. 

22  And  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars  was  lily  work  :  so  was 
the  work  of  the  pillars  finished. 

23  ^And  he  made  "a  molten  sea,  ten  cubits  ffrom  the  one 
brim  to  the  other :  U  teas  round  all  about,  and  his  height 
was  five  cubits :  and  a  line  of  thirty  cubits  did  compass  it 
round  about. 

24  And  under  the  brim  of  it  round  about  there  were  knops 
compassing  it,  ten  in  a  cubit,  "compassing  the  sea  round 
about :  the  knops  were  cast  in  two  rows,  when  it  was  cast. 


thereof  fifty  cubits,  and  the  neighm  thereof  thirty 

cubits,  upon  four  rows  of  cedar  pillars,  with  cedar 
3  beams  upon  the  pillars.     And  it  was  covered  with 

cedar  above  over  the  forty  and  five  'beams,  that 
4 were  upon  the  pillars;  fifteen  in  a  row.     And  there 

were  ^prospects  in  three  rows,  and   light  was  over 

5  against  light  in  three  ranks.  And  all  the  doors  and 
posts  'were  square  in  prospect :  and  light  was  over 

6  against  light  in  three  ranks.  And  he  made  the 
porch  of  pillars ;  the  length  thereof  was  fifty  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  thereof  thirty  cubits ;  and  a  porch 
before  them ;   and  pillars  and  Hhick   beams  before 

7  them.  And  he  made  the  porch  of  the  throne  where 
he  might  judge,  even  the  porch  of  judgment:  and 

8  it  was  covered  with  cedar  from  floor  to  floor.  And 
his  house  where  he  might  dwell,  the  other  court 
within  the  porch,  was  of  the  like  work.  He  made 
also  an  house  for  Pha'raoh's  daughter,  (whom  Sol'o- 

9mon  had  taken  to  wife,)  like  unto  this  porch.  All 
these  were  of  costly  stones,  even  of  hewn  stone, 
'according  to  measure,  sawed  with  saws,  within  and 
without,  even  from  the  foundation  unto  the  coping, 

10  and  so  on  the  outside  unto  the  great  court.  And 
the  foundation  was  of  costly  stones,  even  great 
stones,   stones  of  ten  cubits,   and   stones    of  eight 

11  cubits.     And  above  were  costly  stones,  even  hewn 

12  stone,  according  to  measure,  and  cedar  wood.  And 
the  great  court  round  about  had  three  rows  of  hewn 
stone,  and  a  row  of  cedar  beams ;  *like  as  the  inner 
court  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  porch  of 
the  house. 

13  And  king  Sol'o-mon  sent  and  fetched  Hi'ram  out  of 

14  Tyre.  ^He  was  the  son  of  a  widow  woman  of  the 
tribe  of  Naph'ta-li,  and  his  father  was  a  man  of  Tyre, 
a  worker  in  brass ;  and  he  was  filled  with  wisdom 
and  understanding  and  cunning,  to  work  all  Avorks 
in  brass.      And  he   came  to  king  Sol'o-mon,  and 

15  wrought  all  his  work.  For  ho  fashioned  the  two 
pillars  of  brass,  'of  eighteen  cubits  high  apiece:  and 
a  line  of  twelve   cubits  compassed  'either  of  them 

16  about.  And  he  made  two  chapiters  of  molten  brass, 
to  set  upon  the  tops  oi  the  pillars :  the  height  of  the 
one  chapiter  was  five  cubits,  and  the  height  of  the 

17  other  chapiter  was  five  cubits.  There  were  nets  of 
checker  work,  and  wreaths  of  chain  work,  for  the 
chapiters  which  were  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars ; 
seven  for  the  one  chapiter,  and  seven  for  the  other 

18 chapiter.  So  he  made  the  pillars;  and  there  were 
two  rows  round  about  upon  the  one  network,  to 
cover  the  chapiters  that  were  upon  the  top  of  the 

19 '"pillars:  and  so  did  he  lor  the  other  chapiter.  And 
the  chapiters  that  were  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars  in 

20  the  porch  were  of  lily  work,  four  cubits.  And  there 
were  chapiters  above  also  upon  the  two  pillars,  close 
by  the  belly  which  was  beside  the  network :  and  the 
pomegranates   were    two    hundred,    in   rows    round 

21  about  upon  the  other  chapiter.     "And  he  set  up  the 
pillars  at  the  porch  of  the  temple  :  and  he  set  up  th 
right  pillar,  and  called  the  name  thereof  "Ja'chin 
and  he  set  up  the  left  pillar,  and  called  the  name 

22  thereof  '^Bo'az.  And  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars  was 
lily  work  :  so  was  the  work  of  the  pillars  finished. 

23  '*And  he  made  the  molten  sea  of  ten  cubits  from  brim 
to  brim,  round  in  compass,  and  the  height  thereof 
was  five  cubits  :  and  a  line  of  thirty  cubits  comjiassed 

24  it  round  about.  And  under  the  brim  of  it  round 
about  there  were  knops  which  did  compass  it,  "for 
ten  cubits,  compassing  the  sea  round  about :  the

25  It  stood  upon  "twelve  oxen,  three  looking  toward  the 
north,  and  three  looking  toward  the  west,  and  three  looking 
toward  the  south,  and  three  looking  toward  the  east:  and 
the  sea  was  set  above  upon  them,  and  all  their  hinder  parts 
were  inward. 

26  And  it  was  a  handbreadth  thick,  and  the  brim  thereof 
was  wrought  like  the  brim  of  a  cup,  with  flowers  of  lilies : 
it  contained  "two  thousand  baths. 

27  ^  And  he  made  ten  bases  of  brass ;  four  cubits  was  the 
length  of  one  base,  and  four  cubits  the  breadth  thereof,  and 
three  cubits  the  height  of  it. 

28  And  the  work  of  the  bases  was  on  this  manner:  they 
had  borders,  and  the  borders  were  between  the  ledges : 

29  And  on  the  borders  that  were  between  the  ledges  were 
lions,  oxen,  and  cherubim :  and  upon  the  ledges  there  was 
a  base  above :  and  beneath  the  lions  and  oxen  were  certain 
additions  made  of  thin  work. 

30  And  every  base  had  four  brazen  wheels,  and  plates  of 
brass :  and  the  four  corners  thereof  had  undersetters :  under 
the  laver  were  undersetters  molten,  at  the  side  of  every 
addition. 

31  And  the  mouth  of  it  within  the  chapiter  and  above  was 
a  cubit :  but  the  mouth  thereof  was  round  after  the  work  of 
the  base,  a  cubit  and  a  half:  and  also  upon  the  mouth  of  it 
were  gravings  with  their  borders,  four  square,  not  round. 

32  And  under  the  borders  were  four  wheels;  and  the  axle- 
trees  of  the  wheels  were  \joined  to  the  base :  and  the  height 
of  a  wheel  was  a  cubit  and  half  a  cubit. 

33  And  the  work  of  the  wheels  was  like  the  work  of  a 
chariot  wheel:  their  axletrees,  and  their  naves,  and  their 
felloes,  and  their  spokes,  were  all  molten. 

34  And  there  were  four  undersetters  to  the  four  corners  of 
one  base :  and  the  undersetters  were  of  the  very  base  itself. 

35  And  in  the  top  of  the  base  was  there  a  round  compass 
of  half  a  cubit  higfc :  and  on  the  top  of  the  base  the  ledges 
thereof  and  the  borders  thereof  were  of  the  same. 

36  For  on  the  plates  of  the  ledges  thereof,  and  on  the 
borders  thereof,  he  graved  cherubim,  lions,  and  palm-trees, 
according  to  the  fproportion  of  every  one,  and  additions 
round  about. 

37  After  this  manner  he  made  the  ten  bases :  all  of  them 
had  one  casting,  one  measure,  and  one  size. 

38  %Then  'made  he  ten  lavers  of  brass :  one  laver  con- 
tained forty  baths:  and  every  laver  was  four  cubits:  and 
upon  every  one  of  the  ten  bases  one  laver. 

39  And  he  put  five  bases  on  the  right  fside  of  the  house, 
and  five  on  the  left  side  of  the  house :  and  he  set  the  sea  on 
the  right  side  of  the  house  eastward,  over  against  the  south. 

40  ^And  fHi'ram  made  the  lavers,  and  the  shovels, 
and  the  basins.  So  Hi'ram  made  an  end  of  doing  all  the 
work  that  he  made  king  Sol'o-mon  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord: 

41  The  two  pillars,  and  the  two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  that 
were  on  the  top  of  the  two  pillars ;  and  the  two  'networks, 
to  cover  the  two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  which  were  upon  the 
top  of  the  pillars ; 

42  And  four  hundred  pomegranates  for  the  two  networks, 
even  two  rows  of  pomegranates  for  one  network,  to  cover 
the  two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  that  were  fupon  the  pillars ; 

43  And  the  ten  bases,  and  ten  lavers  on  the  bases; 

44  And  one  sea,  and  twelve  oxen  under  the  sea; 

45  'And  the  pots,  and  the  shovels,  and  the  basins ;  and  all 
these  vessels  which  Hi'ram  made  to  king  Sol'o-mon  for  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  were  of  fbright  brass. 

46  'In  the  plain  of  Jor'dan  did  the  king  cast  them,  fin  the 
clay  ground  between  "Suc'coth  and  ''Zar'than. 

47  And  Sol'o-mon  left  all  the  vessels  unweighed,  f  because 
they  were  exceeding  many :  neither  was  the  weight  of  the 
brass  ffound  out. 


25  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen,  three  looking  toward  the 
north,  and  three  looking  toward  the  west,  and  three 
looking  toward  the  south,  and  three  looking  toward 
the  east :  and  the  sea  was  set  upon  them  above,  and 

26  all  their  hinder  parts  were  inward.  And  it  was 
an  handbreadth  thick;  and  the  brim  thereof  was 
wrought  like  the  brim  of  a  cup,  like  the  flower  of  a 

27  lily  :  it  held  two  thousand  baths.  And  he  made  the 
ten  bases  of  brass ;  four  cubits  was  the  length  of  one 
base,  and  four  cubits  the  breadth  thereof,  and  three 

28  cubits  the  height  of  it.  And  the  work  of  the  bases 
was  on  this  manner :    they  had  'borders ;  ^and  there 

29  were  borders  between  the  ledges :  and  on  the  bor- 
ders that  were  between  the  ledges  were  lions,  oxen, 
and  cherubim;  and  upon  the  ledges  'there  was  a 
pedestal   above :    and   beneath   the  lions  and   oxen 

30  were  wreaths  of  hanging  work.  And  every  base 
had  four  brasen  wheels,  and  axles  of  brass :  and  the 
four  feet  thereof  had  ^undersetters :  beneath  the  laver 
were  the  undersetters  molten,  with  wreaths  at  the 

31  side  of  each.  And  the  mouth  of  it  within  the 
chapiter  and  above  was  a  cubit:  and  the  mouth 
thereof  was  round  after  the  work  of  a  pedestal,  a 
cubit  and  an  half:  and  also  upon  the  mouth  of  it 
were  gravings,  and  their  borders  were  foursquare, 

32  not  round.  And  the  four  wheels  were  underneath 
the  borders ;  and  the  axletrees  of  the  wheels  were  in 
the  base  :  and  the  height  of  a  wheel  was  a  cubit  and 

33  half  a  cubit.  And  the  work  of  the  wheels  was  like 
the  work  of  a  chariot  wheel:  their  axletrees,  and 
their  felloes,  and  their  spokes,  and  their  naves,  were 

34  all  molten.  And  there  were  four  undersetters  at  the 
four  corners  of  each  base:    the  undersetters  thereof 

35  were  of  the  base  itself.  And  in  the  top  of  the  base 
was  there  a  round  compass  of  half  a  cubit  high:  and 
on  the  top  of  the  base  the  'stays  thereof  and  the 

36  borders  thereof  were  of  the  same.  And  on  the 
plates  of  the  stays  thereof,  and  on  the  borders 
thereof,  he  graved  cherubim,  lions,  and  palm  trees, 
according  to  the  space  of  each,  with  wreaths  round 

37  about.  ^After  this  manner  he  made  the  ten  bases : 
all  of  them  had  one  casting,  one  measure,  and  one 

38  form.  ''And  he  made  ten  lavers  of  brass :  one  laver 
contained  forty  baths :  and  every  laver  was  four 
cubits:    and  upon  every  one  of  the  ten  bases  one 

39 laver.  And  he  set  the  bases,  five  on  the  right-side 
of  the  house,  and  five  on  the  left  side  of  the  house : 
and  he  set  the  sea  on  the  right  side  of  the  house 

40  eastward,  toward  the  south.  And  'Hi'ram  made  the 
'"lavers,  and  the  shovels,  and  the  basons.  So  Hi'ram 
made  an  end  of  doing  all  the  work  that  he  wrought 

41  for  king  Sol'o-mon  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  the 
two  pillars,  and  the  two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  that 
were  on  the  top  of  the  pillars;  and  the  two  networks 
to  cover  the  two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  that  were 

42 on  the  top  of  the  pillars;  and  the  four  hundred 
pomegranates  for  the  two  networks;  two  rows  of 
pomegranates  for  each  network,  to  cover  the  two 
bowls  of  the  chapiters  that  were  "upon  the  pillars; 

43  and  the  ten  bases,  and  the  ten  lavers  on  the  bases ; 

44  and  the  one  sea,  and   the   twelve   oxen  under  the 

45  sea ;  and  the  pots,  and  the  shovels,  and  the  basons : 
even  all  '^these  vessels,  which  Hi'ram  made  for 
king  Sol'o-mon,  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  were  of 

46  burnished  brass.  In  the  plain  of  Jor'dan  did  the 
king  cast  them,  in  the  clay  ground  between  Suc'coth 

47  and  Zar'e-than.  And  Sol'o-mon  left  all  the  ves- 
sels unweighed,  because  they  were  exceeding  many : 
the  weight  of  the  brass  "could  not  be   found  out.

48  And  Sol'o-mon  made  all  iDe  vessels  tb&t  pertained  unto 
the  house  of  the  Loed  :  "the  altar  of  gold,  and  'the  table  of 
gold,  whereupon  "the  shewbread  was, 

49  And  the  candlesticks  of  pure  gold,  five  on  the  right 
side,  and  five  on  the  left,  before  the  oracle,  with  the  flowers, 
and  the  lamps,  and  the  tongs  of  gold, 

50  And  the  bowls,  and  the  snuffers,  and  the  basins,  and 
the  spoons,  and  the  fcensers  of  pure  gold  ;  and  the  hinges 
of  gold,  both  for  the  doors  of  the  inner  house,  the  most 
holy  place,  and  for  the  doors  of  the  house,  to  wit,  of  the 
temple. 

51  So  was  ended  all  the  work  that  king  Sol'o-mon  made 
for  the  hou.se  of  the  Lord.  And  Sol'o-mon  brought  in  the 
fthings  ''which  Da'vid  his  father  had  dedicated  ;  even  the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  did  he  put  among  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

CHAF'TER  VIII. 

The  feast  of  the  dedication  of  ike  temple — Solomon* s  prayer. 

rpHEX  °Sol'o-mon  assembled  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  all 
J-  the  heads  of  the  tribes,  the  fchief  of  the  fathers  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  king  Sol'o-mon  in  Je-ru'sa-!em, 
'that  they  might  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  ""out  of  the  city  of  Da'vid,  which  is  Zi'on. 

2  And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  assembled  themselves  unto 
king  Sol'o-mon  at  the  ''feast  in  the  month  Eth'a-nim,  which 
is  the  seventh  month. 

3  And  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  came,  'and  the  priests  took 
up  the  ark. 

4  And  they  brought  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  -^and  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and  all  the  holy  vessels  that 
were  in  the  tabernacle,  even  those  did  the  priests  and  the 
Le'vites  bring  up. 

5  And  king  Sol'o-mon,  and  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, 
that  were  assembled  unto  him,  were  with  him  before  the 
ark,  "sacrificing  sheep  and  oxen,  that  could  not  be  told  nor 
numbered  for  multitude. 

6  And  the  priests  ''brought  in  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  unto  'his  place,  into  the  oracle  of  the  house,  to  the 
most  holy  place,  even  *under  the  wings  of  the  cherubim. 

7  For  the  cherubim  spread  forth  iheir  two  wings  over  the 
place  of  the  ark,  and  the  cherubim  covered  the  ark  and  the 
staves  thereof  above. 

8  And  they  'drew  out  the  staves,  that  the  fends  of  the 
staves  were  seen  out  in  the  ||  holy  place  before  the  oracle, 
and  they  were  not  seen  without :  and  there  they  are  unto 
this  day. 

9  '"There  was  nothing  in  the  ark  "save  the  two  tables  of 
stone,  which  Mo'ses  "put  there  at  Ho'reb,  ypwhen  the  Lord 
made  a  covenant  with  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  when  they 
came  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

10  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  when  the  priests  were  come  out  of 
the  holy  place,  that  the  cloud  'filled  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

11  So  that  the  priests  could  not  stand  to  minister  because 
of  the  cloud :  for  the  glory  of  the  Lord  had  filled  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

12  ^""Then  spake  Sol'o-mon,  The  Lord  said  that  he  would 
dwell  'in  the  thick  darkness. 

13  'I  have  surely  built  thee  a  house  to  dwell  in,  "a  settled 
place  for  thee  to  abide  in  for  ever. 

14  And  the  king  turned  his  face  about,  and  ^blessed  all 
the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el :  and  all  the  congregation  of 
Is'ra-el  stood; 

15  And  he  said,  "Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
which  'spake  with  his  mouth  unto  Da'vid  my  father,  and 
hath  with  his  hand  fulfilled  it,  saying, 

16  "Since  the  day  that  I  brought  forth  my  people  Is'ra-el 
out  of  E'gypt,  I  chose  no  city  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el 
to  build  a  hou.se,  that  'my  name  might  be  therein ;  but  I 
chose  'Da'vid  to  be  over  my  people  Is'ra-el. 


48  And  8of  o-mon  made  all  the  vessels  that  were  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord:  the  golden  altar,  and  the  table 

49  whereupon  the  shewbread  was,  of  gold ;  and  the  can- 
dlesticks, five  on  the  right  side,  and  five  on  the  left, 
before  the  oracle,  of  pure  gold ;  and  the  flowers,  and 

50  the  lamps,  and  the  tongs,  of  gold ;  and  the  cups,  and 
the  snuffers,  and  the  basons,  and  the  spoons,  and  the 
firepans,  of  pure  gold ;  and  the  hinges,  both  for  the 
doors  of  the  inner  house,  the  most  holy  place,  and 
for  the  doors  of  the  house,  to  wit,  of  the  temple,  of 

51  gold.  'Thus  all  the  work  that  king  Sol'o-mon 
wrought  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  was  finished.  And 
Sol'o-mon  brought  in  the  things  which  Da'vid  his 
father  had  dedicated,  even  the  silver,  and  the  gold, 
and  the  vessels,  and  put  them  in  the  treasuries  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

O  Then  Sol'o-mon  assembled  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  all  the  heads  of  the  tribes,  the  princes  of  the 
fathers'  houses  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  king 
Sol'o-mon  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  bring  up  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord   out  of  the  city  of  Da'vid, 

2  which  is  Zi'on.     And  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  assem 
bled  themselves  unto  king  Sol'o-mon  at  the  feast,  in 
the  month  Eth'a-nim,  which  is  the  seventh  month 

3  And  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  came,  and  the  priests 

4  took  up  the  ark.  And  they  brought  up  the  ark  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  all  the 
holy  vessels  that  were  in  the  Tent;  even  these  did 

5  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  bring  up.  And  king 
Sol'o-mon  and  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  that 
were  assembled  unto  him,  were  with  him  before  the 
ark,  sacrificing   sheep  and  oxen,  that  could  not  be 

6  told  nor  numbered  for  multitude.  And  the  priests 
brought  in  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
unto  its  place,  into  the  oracle  of  the  house,  to  the 
most  holy  place,  even  under  the  wings  of  the  cheru- 

7bim.  For  the  cherubim  spread  forth  their  wings 
.over  the  place  of  the  ark,  and  the  cherubim  covered 

8  the  ark  and  the  staves  thereof  above.  And  ^the 
staves  were  so  long  that  the  ends  of  the  staves  were 
seen  from  the  holy  place  before  the  oracle;  but 
they  were  not  seen  without:    and  there    they  are, 

9  unto  this  day.  There  was  nothing  in  the  ark  save 
the  two  tables  of  stone  which  Mo'ses  put  there  at 
Ho'reb,  'when  the  Lord  made  a  covenant  with  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  when  they  came  out  of  the  land 

10  of  E'gypt.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  priests 
were  come   out  of  the  holy   place,  that   the  cloud 

11  filled  the  house   of  the   Lord,  so  that  the  priests 
could  not  stand  to  minister  by  reason  of  the  cloud 
for  the  glory  of  the  Lord   filled  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

12  ^Then  spake  Sol'o-mon,  The  Lord  hath  said  that 

13  he  would  dwell  in  the  thick  darkness.  I  have 
surely  built  thee  an  house  of  habitation,  a  place  for 

14  thee  to  dwell  in  for  ever.  And  the  king  turned 
his  face  about,  and  blessed  all  the  congregation  of 
Is'ra-el :  and  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  stood. 

15  And  he  said,  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
which  spake  with  his  mouth  unto  Da'vid  my  father, 

16  and  hath  with  his  hand  fulfilled  it,  saying.  Since  the 
day  that  I  brought  forth  my  people  Is'ra-el  out  of 
E'gypt,  I  chose  no  city  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el 
to  build  an  house,  that  my  name  might  be  there ; 
but  I  chose  Da'vid  to  be  over  my  people  Is'ra-el.

17  And  "Ht  was  in  the  heart  of  Da'vid  my  iather  to  build 
a  house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

18  'And  the  Lord  said  unto  Da'vid  my  father,  Whereas 
it  was  in  thine  heart  to  build  a  house  unto  my  name,  thou 
didst  well  that  it  was  in  thine  heart. 

19  Nevertheless  -^thou  shalt  not  build  the  house ;  but  thy 
son  that  shall  come  forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he  shall  build  the 
house  unto  my  name. 

20  And  the  Lord  hath  performed  his  word  that  he  spake, 
and  I  am  risen  up  in  the  room  of  Da'vid  my  father,  and  sit 
on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el,  "as  the  Lord  promised,  and  have 
built  a  house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

21  And  I  have  set  there  a  place  for  the  ark,  wherein  is  Hhe 
covenant  of  the  Lord,  which  he  made  with  our  fathers, 
when  he  brought  them  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

22  ^And  Sol'o-mon  stood  before  'the  altar  of  the  Lord  in 
the  presence  of  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  and  *spread 
forth  his  hands  toward  heaven : 

23  And  he  said,  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  '"there  is  no  God  like 
thee,  in  heaven  above,  or  on  earth  beneath,  "who  keepest 
covenant  and  mercy  with  thy  servants  that  "walk  before  thee 
with  all  their  heart : 

24  Who  hast  kept  with  thy  servant  Da'vid  my  father  that 
thou  promisedst  him:  thou  spakest  also  with  thy  mouth, 
and  hast  fulfilled  it  with  thine  hand,  as  it  is  this  day. 

25  Therefore  now.  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  keep  with  thy 
servant  Da'vid  my  father  that  thou  promisedst  him,  say- 
ing, "fThere  shall  not  fail  thee  a  man  in  my  sight  to  sit 
on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el;  fso  that  thy  children  take  heed 
to  their  way,  that  they  walk  before  me  as  thou  hast  walked 
before  me. 

26  «And  now,  O  God  of  Is'ra-el,  let  thy  word,  I  pray  thee, 
be  verified,  which  thou  spakest  unto  thy  servant  Da'vid  my 
father. 

27  But  'will  God  indeed  dwell  on  the  earth  ?  behold,  the 
heaven  and  "heaven  of  heavens  can  not  contain  thee ;  how 
much  less  this  house  that  I  have  builded  ? 

28  Yet  have  thou  respect  unto  the  prayer  of  thy  servant, 
and  to  his  supplication,  O  Lord  my  God,  to  hearken  unto 
the  cry  and  to  the  prayer,  which  thy  servant  prayeth  before 
thee  to-day : 

29  That  thine  eyes  may  be  open  toward  this  house  night 
and  day,  even  toward  the  place  of  which  thou  hast  said,  'My 
name  shall  be  there :  that  thou  mayest  hearken  unto  the 
prayer  which  thy  servant  shall  make  "||  toward  this  place. 

30  ""And  hearken  thou  to  the  supplication  of  thy  servant, 
and  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  when  they  shall  pray  ||  toward  this 
place :  and  hear  thou  in  heaven  thy  dwellingplace :  and 
when  thou  hearest,  forgive. 

31  ^If  any  man  trespass  against  his  neighbour,  fand  "an 
oath  be  laid  upon  him  to  cause  him  to  swear,  and  the  oath 
come  before  thine  altar  in  this  house : 

32  Then  hear  thou  in  heaven,  and  do,  and  judge  thy  serv- 
ants, 'condemning  the  wicked,  to  bring  his  way  upon  his 
head ;  and  justifying  the  righteous,  to  give  him  according 
to  his  righteousness. 

33  ^"W  hen  thy  people  Is'ra-el  be  smitten  down  before  the 
enemy,  because  they  have  sinned  against  thee,  and  'shall 
turn  again  to  thee,  and  confess  thy  name,  and  pray,  and 
make  supplication  unto  thee  ||  in  this  house  : 

34  Then  hear  thou  in  heaven,  and  forgive  the  sin  of  thy 
people  Is'ra-el,  and  bring  them  again  unto  the  land  which 
thou  gavest  unto  their  fathers. 

35  ^"When  heaven  is  shut  up,  and  there  is  no  rain,  be- 
cause they  have  sinned  against  thee ;  if  they  pray  toward 
this  place,  and  confess  thy  name,  and  turn  from  their  sin, 
when  thou  afflictest  them : 

36  Then  hear  thou  in  heaven,  and  forgive  the  sin  of  thy 
servants,  and  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  that  thou  ''teach  them 


17  Now  it  was  in  the  heart  of  Da'vid  my  father  to  build 
an  house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'- 

18ra-el.  But  the  Lord  said  unto  Da'vid  my  father. 
Whereas  it  was  in  thine  heart  to  build  an  house  for 
my  name,  thou  didst  well  that  it  was  in  thine  heart : 

19 nevertheless  thou  shalt  not  build  the  house;  but 
thy  son  that  shall  come  forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he 

20  shall  build  the  house  for  my  name.  And  the  Lord 
hath  established  his  word  that  he  spake ;  for  I  am 
risen  up  in  the  room  of  Da'vid  my  father,  and  sit  on 
the  throne  of  Is'ra-el,  as  the  Lord  promised,  and  have 
built  the  house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord,  the  God 

21  of  Is'ra-el.  And  there  have  I  set  a  place  for  the  ark, 
wherein  is  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  which  he  made 
with  our  fathers,  when  he  brought  them  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

22  And  Sol'o-mon  stood  before  the  altar  of  the  Lord 
in  the  presence  of  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, 

23 and  spread  forth  his  hands  toward  heaven:  and  he 
said,  O  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  there  is  no  God 
like  thee,  in  heaven  above,  or  on  earth  beneath  ;  who 
keepest  covenant  and  mercy  'with  thy  servants,  that 

24 walk  before  thee  with  all  their  heart:  who  hast 
kept  with  thy  servant  Da'vid  my  father  that  which 
thou  didst  promise  him :  yea,  thou  spakest  with  thy 
mouth,  and  hast  fulfilled  it  with  thine  hand,  as  it  is 

25  this  day.  Now  therefore,  O  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
keep  with  thy  servant  Da'vid  my  father  that  which 
thou  hast  promised  him,  saying,  ^There  shall  not 
fail  thee  a  man  in  my  sight  to  sit  on  the  throne  of 
Is'ra-el ;  if  only  thy  children  take  heed  to  their  way, 
to  walk  before  me  as  thou  hast  walked  before  me. 

26  Now  therefore,  O  God  of  Is'ra-el,  let  thy  word,  I  pray 
thee  be  verified,  which  thou  spakest  unto  thy  servant 

27  Da'vid  my  father.  But  will  God  in  very  deed  dwell 
on  the .  earth  ?  behold,  heaven  and  the  heaven  of 
heavens  can  not  contain  thee ;  how  much  less  this 

28 house  that  I  have  builded!  Yet  have  thou  respect 
unto  the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to  his  supplica- 
tion, O  Lord  my  God,  to  hearken  unto  the  cry  and 
to  the  prayer  which  thy  servant  prayeth  before  thee 

29  this  day :  that  thine  eyes  may  be  open  toward  this 
house  night  and  day,  even  toward  the  place  whereof 
thou  hast  said,  My  name  shall  be  there :  to  hearken 
unto  the  prayer  which  thy  servant  shall  pray  toward 

30  this  place.  And  hearken  thou  to  the  supplication 
of  thy  servant,  and  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  when  they 
shall  pray  toward  this  place :  yea,  hear  thou  in 
heaven  thy  dwelling  place ;  and  when  thou  hearest, 

31  forgive.  ^If  a  man  sin  against  his  neighbour,  and 
an  oath  be  laid  upon  him  to  cause  him  to  swear, 
and  he  come  and  swear  before  thine  altar   in  this 

32  house:  then  hear  thou  in  heaven,  and  do,  and  judge 
thy  servants,  condemning  the  wicked,  to  bring  his 
way  upon  his  own  head;  and  justifying  the  right- 
eous, to   give   him  according  to  his  righteousness. 

33  When  thy  people  Is'ra-el  be  smitten  down  before 
the  enemy,  because  they  have  sinned  against  thee ; 
if  they  turn  again  to  thee,  and  confess  thy  name, 
and  pray  and  make  supplication  unto  thee  in  this 

34 house:  then  hear  thou  in  heaven,  and  forgive  the 
sin  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  and  bring  them  again  un- 
to the  land  which  thou  gavest  unto  their  fathers. 

35  When  heaven  is  shut  up,  and  there  is  no  rain,  be- 
cause they  have  sinned  against  thee ;  if  they  pray  to- 
ward this  place,  and  confess  thy  name,  and  turn  from 

36 their  sin,  *when  thou  'dost  afflict  them:  then  hear 
thou  in  heaven,  and  forgive  the  sin  of  thy  servants, 
and  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  *when  thou  teachest  them

he  shall  come  out  of  a  far  country  for  thy  name's 

42  sake ;  (for  they  shall  hear  of  thy  great  name,  and  of 
thy  mighty  hand,  and  of  thy  stretched  out  arm;)

46  tion,  and  maintain  their  ^cause.  If  they  sin  against 
thee,  (for  there  is  no  man  that  sinneth  not,)  and  thou 
be  angry  with  them,  and  deliver  them  to  the  enemy, 
so  that  *they  carry  them  away  captive  unto  the  land 

47  of  the  enemy,  far  off  or  near ;  yet  if  they  shall  be 
think  themselves  in  the  land  whither  they  are  carried 
captive,  and  turn  again,  and  make  supplication  unto 
thee  in  the  land  of  them  that  carried  them  captive, 
saying,  We  have  sinned,  and  have  done  perversely, 

48  we  have  dealt  wickedly ;  if  they  return  unto  thee 
with  all  their  heart  and  with  all  their  soul  in  the 
land  of  their  enemies,  which  carried  them  captive, 
and  pray  unto  thee  toward  their  land,  which  thou 
gavest  unto  their  fathers,  the  city  which  thou  hast 
chosen,  and  the .  house   which  I  have  built  for  thy 

49  name :  then  hear  thou  their  prayer  and  their  suppli- 
cation in  heaven  thy  dwelling  place,  and  maintain 

50 their  'cause;  and  forgive  thy  people  which  have 
sinned  against  thee,  and  all  their  transgressions 
wherein  they  have  transgressed  against  thee;  and 
give  them  'compassion  before  those  who  carried 
them  captive,  that  they  may    have  compassion  on 

51  them:  for  they  be  thy  people,  and  thine  inherit- 
ance, which  thou  broughtest  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  from 

52 the  midst  of  the  furnace  of  iron:  that  thine  eyes 
may  be  open  unto  the  supplication  of  thy  servant, 
and  unto  the  supplication  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  to 
hearken  unto  them  whensoever  they  cry  unto  thee. 

53  For  thou  didst  separate  them  from  among  all  the 
peoples  of  the  earth,  to  be  thine  inheritance,  as 
thou  spakest  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses  thy  servant, 
when  thou  broughtest  our  fathers  out  of  E'gypt,  O

from  kneeling  on  his  knees  with  his  hands  spread  up  to 
heaven. 

55  And  he  stood  "and  blessed  all  the  congregation  of 
Is'ra-el  with  a  loud  voice,  saying, 

66  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  that  hath  given  rest  unto  his 
people  Is'ra-el,  according  to  all  that  he  promised :  'there  hath 
not  ffailed  one  word  of  all  his  good  promise,  which  he 
promised  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses  his  servant. 

57  The  Lord  our  God  be  with  us,  as  he  was  with  our 
fathers:  "let  him  not  leave  us,  nor  forsake  us: 

58  That  he  may  ''incline  our  hearts  unto  him,  to  walk  in 
all  his  ways,  and  to  keep  his  commandments,  and  his  stat- 
utes, and  his  judgments,  which  he  commanded  our  fathers. 

59  And  let  these  my  words  wherewith  I  have  made  sup- 
plication before  the  Lord,  be  nigh  unto  the  Lord  our  God 
day  and  night,  that  he  maintain  the  cause  of  his  servant, 
and  the  cause  of  his  people  Is'ra-el  fat  all  times,  as  the  mat- 
ter shall  require: 

60  "That  all  the  people  of  the  earth  may  know  that  "'the 
Lord  is  God,  and  that  there  is  none  else. 

61  Let  your  'heart  therefore  be  perfect  with  the  Lord  our 
God,  to  walk  in  his  statutes,  and  to  keep  his  commandments, 
as  at  this  day. 

62  *([And  -^the  king,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  offered  sacri- 
fice before  the  Lord. 

63  And  Sol'o-mon  offered  a  sacrifice  of  peace  offerings, 
which  he  offered  unto  the  Lord,  two  and  twenty  thousand 
oxen,  and  a  hundred  and  twenty  thousand  sheep.  So  the 
king  and  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  dedicated  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

64  "The  same  day  did  the  king  hallow  the  middle  of  the 
court  that  was  before  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  for  there  he 
offered  burnt  offerings,  and  meat  offerings,  and  the  fat  of 
the  peace  offerings :  because  *the  brazen  altar  that  was  be- 
fore the  Lord  was  too  little  to  receive  the  burnt  offerings, 
and  meat  offerings,  and  the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings. 

65  And  at  that  time  Sol'o-mon  held  'a  feast,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  a  great  congregation,  from  *the  entering  in  of 
Ha'math  unto  'the  river  of  E'gypt,  before  tiie  Lord  our 
God,  "seven  days  and  seven  days,  even  fourteen  days. 

66  "On  the  eighth  day  he  sent  the  people  away :  and  they 
II  blessed  the  king,  and  went  unto  their  tents  joyful  and  glad 
of  heart  for  all  the  goodness  that  the  Lord  had  done  for 
Da'vid  his  servant,  and  for  Is'ra-el  his  people. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

God's  covenant  in  a  vision  with  Solomon. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass,  when  Sol'o-mon  had  finished  the 
building  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  ''and  the  king's  house, 
and  ''all  Sol'o-mon's  desire  which  he  was  pleased  to  do, 

2  That  the  Lord  appeared  to  Sol'o-mon  the  second  time, 
'as  he  had  appeared  unto  him  at  Gib'e-on. 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  'I  have  heard  thy  prayer 
and  thy  supplication  that  thou  hast  made  before  me :  I 
have  hallowed  this  house,  which  thou  hast  built,  ^to  put  my 
name  there  for  ever;  "and  mine  eyes  and  mine  heart  shall 
be  there  perpetually. 

4  And  if  thou  wilt  ''walk  before  me,  'as  Da'vid  thy  father 
walked,  in  integrity  of  heart,  and  in  uprightness,  to  do  ac- 
cording to  all  that  I  have  commanded  thee,  and  wilt  keep 
my  statutes  and  my  judgments; 

5  Then  I  will  establish  the  throne  of  thy  kingdom  upon 
Is'ra-el  for  ever,  'as  I  promised  to  Da'vid  thy  father,  saying. 
There  shall  not  fail  thee  a  man  upon  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  'But  if  ye  shall  at  all  turn  from  following  me,  ye  or  your 
children,  and  will  not  keep  my  commandments  and  my 
statutes  which  I  have  set  before  you,  but  go  and  serve  other 
gods,  and  worship  them ; 

7  "Then  will  I  cut  off  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  which  I  have 


from  kneeling  on  his  knees  with  his  hands  spread  forth 

55  toward  heaven.  And  he  stood,  and  blessed  all  the 
congregation  of  Is'ra-el  with  a  loud  voice,  saying, 

56  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  that  hath  given  rest  unto  his 
people  Is'ra-el,  according  to  all  that  he  promised : 
there  hath  not   'foiled   one  word   of  all  his  good 

Eromise,  which  he  promised  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses 
is  servant.     The  Lord  our  God  be  with  us,  as  he 
was  with  our  fathers :  let  him  not  leave  us,  nor  for- 
58 sake  us:  that  he  may  incline  our  hearts  unto  him, 
to  walk  in  all  his  ways,  and  to  keep  his  command- 
ments, and  his  statutes,  and  his  judgements,  which  he 

59  commanded  our  fathers.  And  let  these  ray  words, 
wherewith  I  have  made  supplication  before  the 
Lord,  be  nigh  unto  the  Lord  our  God  day  and 
night,  that  he  maintain  the  cause  of  his  servant, 
and  the  cause  of  his  people  Is'ra-el,  "as  every  day 

60  shall  require :  that  all  the  peoples  of  the  earth  may 
know  that  the  Lord,  he  is  God ;  there  is  none  else. 

61  Let  your  heart  therefore  be  perfect  with  the  Lord 
our  God,  to  walk  in  his  statutes,  and  to  keep  his 

62  commandments,  as  at  this  day.  And  the  king,  and 
all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  offered  sacrifice  before  the  Lord. 

63  And  Sol'o-mon  offered  for  the  sacrifice  of  peace 
offerings,  which  he  offered  unto  the  Lord,  two  and 
twenty  thousand  oxen,  and  an  hundred  and  twenty 
thousand  sheep.     So  the  king  and  all  the  children 

64  of  Is'ra-el  dedicated  the  house  of  the  Lord.  The 
same  day  did  the  king  hallow  the  middle  of  the 
court  that  was  before  the  house  of  the  Lord;  for 
there  he  offered  the  burnt  offering,  and  the  meal 
offering,  and  the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings :  because 
the  brasen  altar  that  was  before  the  Lord  was  too 
little  to  receive  the   burnt  offering,  and  the   meal 

65  offering,  and  the  fiit  of  the  peace  offerings.  So 
Sol'o-mon  held  the  feast  at  that  time,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  a  great  congregation,  from  the  entering  in 
of  Ha'math  unto  the  brook  of  E'gypt,  before  the 
Lord  our  God,  seven  days  and  seven   days,  even 

66  fourteen  days.  On  the  eighth  day  he  sent  the 
people  away,  and  they  blessed  the  king,  and  went 
unto  their  tents  joyful  and  glad  of  heart  for  all  the 
goodness  that  the  Lord  had  shewed  unto  Da'vid  his 
servant,  and  to  Is'ra-el  his  people. 

V  *And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Sol'o-mon  had  finished 
the  building  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
king's  house,  and  all  Sol'o-mon's  ^desire  which  he 

2  was  pleased  to  do,  that  the  Lord  appeared  to  Sol'o- 
mon  the  second  time,  as  he  had  appeared  unto  him 

3  at  Gib'e-on.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  I  have 
heard  thy  prayer  and  thy  supplication,  that  thou 
hast  made  before  me :  I  have  hallowed  this  house, 
which  thou  hast  built,  to  put  my  name  there  for  ever; 
and  mine  eyes  and  mine  heart  shall  be  there  per- 

4petually.  And  as  for  thee,  if  thou  wilt  walk  before 
me,  as  Da'vid  thy  father  walked,  in  integrity  of  heart, 
and  in  uprightness,  to  do  according  to  all  that  I  have 
commanded   thee,  and  wilt  keep   my  statutes  and 

5 my  judgements;  then  I  will  establish  the  throne  of 
thy  kingdom  over  Is'ra-el  for  ever;  according  as  I 
'promised  to  Da'vid  thy  father,  saying.  There  shall 
not  fail  thee  a  man  upon  the   throne  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  But  if  ye  shall  turn  away  from  following  me,  ye  or 
your  children,  and  not  keep  my  commandments  and 
my  statutes  which  I  have  set  before  you,  but  shall 

7  go  and  serve  other  gods,  and  worship  them :  then 
will  I  cut  off  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  which  I  have

proverb  and  a  byword  among  all  people : 

8  And  "at  this  house,  which  is  high,  every  one  that  passeth 
by  it  shall  be  astonished,  and  shall  hiss;  and  they  shall 
say,  "Why  hath  the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this  land,  and  to 
this  house? 

9  And  they  shall  answer.  Because  they  forsook  the  Lord 
their  God,  who  brought  forth  their  fathers  out  of  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  and  have  taken  hold  upon  other  gods,  and  have 
worshipped  them,  and  served  them :  therefore  hath  the  Lord 
brought  upon  them  all  this  evil. 

10  ^And  ''it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  twenty  years, 
when  Sol'o-mon  had  built  the  two  houses,  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  king's  house, 

1 1  {'Now  Hi'ram  the  king  of  Tyre  had  furnished  Sol'o-mon 
with  cedar  trees  and  fir  trees,  and  with  gold,  according  to  all 
his  desire,)  that  then  king  Sol'o-mon  gave  Hi'ram  twenty 
cities  in  the  land  of  Gal'i-lee. 

12  And  Hi'ram  came  out  from  Tyre  to  see  the  cities  which 
Sol'o-mon  had  given  him ;  and  they  fpleased  him  not. 

13  And  he  said,  What  cities  are  these  which  thou  hast 
given  me,  my  brother?     'And  he  called  them  the  land  of 

Ca'bul  unto  this  day. 

14  And  Hi'ram  sent  to  the  king  sixscore  talents  of  gold.

Ge'zer,  and  burnt  it  with  fire,  'and  slain  the  Ca'naan-ites  that 
dwelt  in  the  city,  and  given  it  for  a  present  unto  his  daughter, 
Sol'o-mon's  wife. 

1 7  And  Sol'o-mon  built  Ge'zer,  and  "Beth-ho'ron  the  nether, 

18  And''Ba'a-lath,and  Tad'mor  in  the  wilderness,in  the  land, 

19  And  all  the  cities  of  store  that  Sol'o-mon  had,  and  cities

'whom  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  also  were  not  able  utterly  to 
destroy,  *upon  those  did  Sol'o-mon  levy  a  tribute  of  'bond- 
service unto  this  day. 

22  But  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  Sol'o-mon  ""make  no 
bondmen  :  but  they  were  men  of  war,  and  his  servants,  and 
his  princes,  and  his  captains,  and  rulers  of  his  chariots,  and 
his  horsemen. 

23  These  were  the  chief  of  the  officers  that  were  over 
Sol'o-mon's  work,  "five  hundred  and  fifty,  which  bare  rule

24  ^But  "Pha'raoh's  daughter  came  up  out  of  the  city  of 
Da'vid  unto  "her  house  which  Sol'o-mon  had  built  for  her:

was  before  the  Lord.     So  he  finished  the  house.

11  house  of  the  Lord  and  the  king's  house,  (now 
Hi'ram  the  king  of  Tyre  had  furnished  Sol'o-mon

CHAPTER    X. 

The  Queen  of  Sheba  admireih  the  wisdom  of  Solomon. 

AND  when  the  "queen  of  She'ba  heard  of  the  fame  of 
Sol'o-mon  concerning  the  name  of  the  Lord,  she  came 
''to  prove  him  with  hard  questions. 

2  And  she  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  a  very  great  train, 
with  camels  that  bare  spices,  and  very  much  gold  and 
precious  stones :  and  when  she  was  come  to  Sol'o-mon,  she 
communed  with  him  of  all  that  was  in  her  heart. 

3  And  Sol'o-mon  told  her  all  her  fquestions :  there  was 
not  any  thing  hid  from  the  king,  which  he  told  her  not. 

4  And  when  the  queen  of  She'ba  had  seen  all  Sol'o-mon's 
wisdom,  and  the  house  that  he  had  built, 

5  And  the  meat  of  his  table,  and  the  sitting  of  his  servants, 
and  the  fattendance  of  his  ministers,  and  their  apparel,  and 
his  II  cupbearers,  "and  his  ascent  by  which  he  went  up  unto 
the  house  of  the  Lord  ;  there  was  no  more  spirit  in  her. 

6  And  she  said  to  the  king.  It  was  a  true  freport  that  I 
heard  in  mine  own  land  of  thy  jj  acts  and  of  thy  wisdom. 

7  Howbeit  I  believed  not  the  words,  until  I  came,  and  mine 
eyes  had  seen  it;  and,  behold,  the  half  was  not  told  me :  ft^Y 
wisdom  and  prosperity  exceedeth  the  fame  which  I  heard. 

8  ''Happy  are  thy  men,  happy  are  these  thy  servants,  which 
stand  continually  before  thee,  and  that  hear  thy  wisdom. 

9  "Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  delighted  in  thee, 
to  set  thee  on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el:  because  the  Lord 
loved  Is'ra-el  for  ever,  therefore  made  he  thee  king,  -'^to  do 
judgment  and  justice. 

10  And  she  "gave  the  king  a  hundred  and  twenty  talents 
of  gold,  and  of  spices  very  great  store,  and  precious  stones : 
there  came  no  more  such  abundance  of  spices  as  these  which 
the  queen  of  She'ba  gave  to  king  Sol'o-mon. 

11  "And  the  navy  also  of  Hi'ram,  that  brought  gold  from 
O'phir,  brought  in  from  O'phir  great  plenty  of  jjalmug  trees, 
ana  precious  stones. 

12  'And  the  king  made  of  the  almug  trees  Hfpillars  for  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  for  the  king's  house,  harps  also  and 
psalteries  for  singers :  there  came  no  such  *almug  trees,  nor 
were  seen  unto  this  day. 

13  And  king  Sol'o-mon  gave  unto  the  queen  of  She'ba  all 
her  desire,  whatsoever  she  asked,  besides  that  which  Sol'o- 
mon  gave  her  fof  his  royal  bounty.  So  she  turned  and 
went  to  her  own  country,  she  and  her  servants. 

14  ^Now  the  weight  of  gold  that  came  to  Sol'o-mon  in 
one  year  was  six  hundred  threescore  and  six  talents  of  gold, 

15  Besides  that  he  had  of  the  merchantmen,  and  of  the 
traffick  of  the  spice  merchants,  and  'of  all  the  kings  of 
A-ra'bi-a,  and  of  the  ||  governors  of  the  country. 

16  ^And  king  Sol'o-mon  made  two  hundred  targets  of 
beaten  gold :  six  hundred  shekels  of  gold  went  to  one  target. 

17  And  he  made  "three  hundred  shields  of  beaten  gold; 
three  pounds  of  gold  went  to  one  shield :  and  the  king  put 
them  in  the  "house  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a-non. 

18  l[°Moreover,  the  king  made  a  great  throne  of  ivory, 
and  overlaid  it  with  the  best  gold. 

19  The  throne  had  six  steps,  and  the  top  of  the  throne 
was  round  fbehind :  and  there  were  fstays  on  either  side  on 
the  place  of  the  seat,  and  two  lions  stood  beside  the  stays. 

20  And  twelve  lions  stood  there  on  the  one  side  and  on  the 
other  upon  the  six  steps:  there  was  not  fthe  like  made  in 
any  kingdom. 

21  ^"And  all  king  Sol'o-mon's  drinking  vessels  were  of 
gold,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a- 
non  were  q/"  pure  gold;  ||  none  were  of  silver:  it  was  noth- 
ing accounted  of  in  the  days  of  Sol'o-mon. 

22  For  the  king  had  at  sea  a  navy  of 'Thar'shish  with  the 
navy  of  Hi'ram :  once  in  three  years  came  the  navy  of 
Thar'shish,  bringing  gold,  and  silver,  ||  ivory,  and  apes,  and 
peacocks. 


1 V  'And  when  the  queen  of  She'ba  heard  of  the  fame 
of  Sol'o-mon  concerning  the  name  of  the  Lord,  she 

2  came  to  prove  him  with  hard  questions.  And  she 
came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  a  very  great  train,  with 
camels  that  bare  spices,  and  very  much  gold,  and 
precious  stones :  and  when  she  was  come  to  Sol'o-mon, 
she  communed  with  him  of  all  that  was  in  her  heart. 

3  And  Sol'o-mon  told  her  all  her  questions :  there  was 
not  anything  hid  from  the  king  which  he  told  her 

4  not.  And  when  the  queen  of  She'ba  had  seen  all 
the  wisdom  of  Sol'o-mon,  and  the  house  that  he  had 

5  built,  and  the  meat  of  his  table,  and  the  sitting  of 
his  servants,  and  the  ^attendance  of  his  ministers, 
and  their  apparel,  and  his  cupbearers,  pnd  ''his  ascent 
by  which  he  went  up  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord  ; 

6  there  was  no  more  spirit  in  her.  And  she  said  to 
the  king,  It  was  a  true  report  that  I  heard  in  mine 

7  own  land  of  thine  *acts,  and  of  thy  wisdom.  How- 
beit I  believed  not  the  words,  until  I  came,  and  mine 
eyes  had  seen  it :  and,  behold,  the  half  was  not  told 
me :  'thy  wisdom  and  prosperity  exceedeth  the  fame 

8  which  I  heard.  Happy  are  thy  men,  happy  are  these 
thy  servants,  which  stand  continually  before  thee,  and 

9  that  hear  thy  wisdom.  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  delighted  in  thee,  to  set  thee  on  the 
throne  of  Is'ra-el :  because  the  Lord  loved  Is'ra-el  for 
ever,  therefore  made  he  thee  king,  to  do  judgement 

lOand  justice.  And  she  gave  the  king  an  hundred 
and  twenty  talents  of  gold,  and  of  spices  very  great 
store,  and  precious  stones :  there  came  no  more  such 
abundance  of  spices  as  these  which  the  queen  of 

11  She'ba  gave  to  king  Sol'o-mon.  And  the  navy  also 
of  Hi'ram,  that  brought  gold  from  O'phir,  brought  in 
from  O'phir  great  plenty  of  'almug  trees  and  precious 

12  stones.  And  the  king  made  of  the  almug  trees 
^pillars  for  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  for  the  king's 
house,  harps  also  and  psalteries  for  the  singers :  there 
came  no  such  almug  trees,  nor  were  seen,  unto  this 

13  day.  And  king  Sol'o-mon  gave  to  the  queen  of  She'ba 
all  her  desire,  whatsoever  she  asked,  beside  that%hich 
Sol'o-mon  gave  her  of  his  royal  bounty.  So  she  turned, 
and  went  to  her  own  land,  she  and  her  servants. 

14  Now  the  weight  of  gold  that  came  to  Sol'o-mon  in 
one  year  was  six  hundred  threescore  and  six  talents 

15  of  gold,  beside  that  which  the  chapmen  brought,  and 
the  traffic  of  the  merchants,  and  of  all  the  kings  of 
the  mingled  people,  and  of  the    governors  of  the 

16  country.  And  king  Sol'o-mon  made  two  hundred 
targets  of  beaten  gold :    six  hundred  shekels  of  gold 

17  went  to  one  target.  And  he  made  three  hundred 
shields  of  beaten  gold;  three  'pound  of  gold  went 
to  one  shield :  and  the  king  put  them  in  the  house 

18  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a-non.  Moreover  the  king  made 
a  great  throne  of  ivory,  and  overlaid  it  with  the 

19  finest  gold.  There  were  six  steps  to  the  throne,  and 
the  top  of  the  throne  was  round  behind :  and  there 
were  '"stays  on  either  side  by  the  place  of  the  seat, 

20  and  two  lions  standing  beside  the  stays.  And  twelve 
lions  stood  there  on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other 
upon  the  six  steps :   there  was  not  the   like    made 

21  in  any  kingdom.  And  all  king  Sol'o-mon's  drink- 
ing vessels  were  of  gold,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the 
house  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a-non  were  of  pure  gold : 
none  were  of  silver;  it  was  nothing  accounted  of  in 

22  the  days  of  Sol'o-mon.  For  the  king  had  at  sea  a 
navy  of  Tar'shish  with  the  navy  of  Hi'ram :  once 
every  three  years  came  the  navy  of*Tar'shish,  bring- 
ing gold,  and  silver,  ivory,  and  apes,  and  peacocks.

23  So  "^king  Sol'o-mon  exceeded  all  the  kings  of  the  earth 
for  riches  and  for  wisdom. 

24  ^And  all  the  earth  fsought  to  Sol'o-mon,  to  hear  his 
wisdom,  which  God  had  put  in  his  heart. 

25  And  they  brought  every  man  his  present,  vessels  of 
silver,  and  vessels  of  gold,  and  garments,  and  armour,  and 
spices,  horses,  and  mules,  a  rate  year  by  year. 

26  ^'And  Sol'o-mon  'gathered  together  chariots  and  horse- 
men :  and  he  had  a  thousand  and  four  hundred  chariots,  and 
twelve  thousand  horsemen,  whom  he  bestowed  in  the  cities 
for  chariots,  and  with  the  king  at  Je-ru'salem. 

27  "And  the  king  fmade  silver  to  be  in  Je-ru'salem  as 
stones,  and  cedars  made  he  to  be  as  the  sycamore  trees  that 
are  in  the  vale,  for  abundance. 

28  ^"'fAnd  Sol'o-mon  had  horses  brought  out  of  E'gypt, 
and  ''linen  yarn :  the  king's  merchants  received  the  linen 
yarn  at  a  price. 

29  And  a  chariot  came  up  and  went  out  of  E'gypt  for  six 
hundred  shekels  of  silver,  and  a  horse  for  a  hundred  and 
fifty :  "and  so  for  all  the  kings  of  the  Hit'tites,  and  for  the 
kings  of  Syr'i-a,  did  they  bring  them  out  f  by  their  means. 

CHARTER    XI. 

Sotomon^s  acts,  reign,  and  death. 

BUT  "king  Sol'o-mon  loved  'many  strange  women,  ||  to- 
gether with  the  daughter  of  Pha'raoh,  women  of  the 
Mo'ab-ites,  Am'mon-ites,  E  dom-ites,  Zi-do'ni-ans,  ond  Hit'tites; 

2  Of  the  nations  concerning  which  the  Lord  said  unto  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  "Ye  shall  not  go  in  to  them,  neither  shall 
they  come  in  unto  you :  for  surely  they  will  turn  away  your 
heart  after  their  gods  :  Sol'o-mon  clave  unto  these  in  love. 

3  An^  he  had  seven  hundred  wives,  princesses,  and  three 
hundred  concubines :  and  his  wives  turned  away  his  heart. 

4  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  Sol'o-mon  was  old,  Hhat  his 
wives  turned  away  his  heart  after  other  gods:  and  his 
'heart  was  not  perfect  with  the  Lord  his  God,  -'as  was  the 
heart  of  Da'vid  his  father. 

5  For  Sol'o-mon  went  after  "Ash'to-reth  the  goddess  of 
the  Zi-do'ni-ans,  and  after  ||  Mil'com  the  abomination  of  the 
Am'mon-ites. 

6  And  Sol'o-mon  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and 
fwent  not  fully  after  the  Lord,  as  did  Da'vid  his  father. 

7  *Then  did  Sol'o-mon  build  a  high  place  for  'Che'mosh, 
the  abomination  of  Mo'ab,  in  *the  hill  that  is  before  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  for  Mo'lech,  the  abomination  of  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

8  And  likewise  did  he  for  all  his  strange  wives,  which 
burnt  incense  and  sacrificed  unto  their  gods. 

9  ^And  the  Lord  was  angry  with  Sol'o-mon,  because  'his 
heart  was  turned  from  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  "wliich  had 
appeared  unto  him  twice, 

10  And  "had  commanded  him  concerning  this  thing,  that 
he  should  not  go  after  other  gods:  but  he  kept  not  that 
which  the  Lord  commanded. 

11  Wherefore  the  Lord  said  unto  Sol'o-mon,  Forasmuch 
as  this  fis  done  of  thee,  and  thou  hast  not  kept  my  cove- 
nant and  my  statutes,  which  I  have  commanded  thee,  "I  will 
surely  rend  the  kingdom  from  thee,  and  will  give  it  to  thy 
servant. 

12  Notwithstanding,  in  thy  days  I  will  not  do  it  for  Da'vid 
thy  father's  sake :  but  I  will  rend  it  out  of  the  hand  of  thy  son. 

13  "Howbeit  I  will  not  rend  away  all  the  kingdom ;  but 
will  give  'one  tribe  to  thy  son  for  Da'vid  my  servant's  sake, 
and  for  Je-ru'sa-lem's  sake  'which  I  have  chosen. 

14  ^And  the  Lord  'stirred  up  an  adversary  unto  Sol'o- 
mon,  Ha'dad  the  E'dom-ite :  he  was  of  the  king's  seed  in 
E'dom. 

15  'For  it  came  to  pass,  when  Da'vid  was  in  E'dom,  and 
Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the  host  was  gone  up  to  bury  the  slain, 
"after  he  had  smitten  every  male  in  E'dom ; 


23  So   king  Sol'o-mon  exceeded   all  the  kings  of  the 

24  earth  in  riches  and  in  wisdom.  And  all  the  earth 
sought  the  presence  of  Sol'o-mon,  to  hear  his  wis- 

25dom,  which  God  had  put  in  his  heart.  And  they 
brought  every  man  his  present,  vessels  of  silver, 
and  vessels  of  gold,  and  raiment,  and  armour,  and 

26  spices,  horses,  and  mules,  a  rate  year  by  year.  'And 
Sol'o-mon  gathered  together  chariots  and  horsemen: 
and  he  had  a  thousand  and  four  hundred  chariots, 
and  twelve  thousand  horsemen,  which  he  bestowed 
in  the  chariot  cities,  and  with  the  king  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

27  And  the  king  made  silver  to  be  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  as 
stones,  and  cedars  made  he  to  be  as  the  sycomore 

28  trees  that  are  in  the  lowland,  for  abundance.  ^And 
the  horses  which  Sol'o-mon  had  were  brought  out  of 
E'gypt;  and   the    king's    merchants   received  th'em 

29  in  droves,  each  drove  at  a  price.  And  a  chariot 
came  up  and  went  out  of  E'gypt  for  six  hundred 
shekels  of  silver,  and  an  horse  for  an  hundred  and 
fifty :  and  so  for  all  the  kings  of  the  Hit'tites,  and 
for  the  kings  of  Syr'i-a,  did  they  bring  them  out 
'by  their  means. 

-»--'-  Now  king  Sol'o-mon  loved  many  strange  women, 
Hogether  with  the  daughter  of  Pha'raoh,  women  of 
the  Mo'ab-ites,  Am'mon-ites,  E'dom-ites,  Zi-do'ni-ans, 

2  and  Hit'tites ;  of  the  nations  concerning  which  the 
Lord  said  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  Ye  shall  not 
go  among  them,  neither  shall  they  come  among  you 
for  surely  they  will  turn  away  your  heart  after  their 

3 gods:  Sol'o-mon  clave  unto  these  in  love.  And  he 
had  seven  hundred  wives,  princesses,  and  three  hun- 
dred concubines  :  and  his  wives  turned  away  his  heart, 

4  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  Sol'o-mon  was  old,  that  his 
wives  turned  away  his  heart  after  other  gods:  and 
his  heart  was  not  perfect  with  the  Lord  his  God,  as 

5  was  the  heart  of  Da'vid  his  father.  For  Sol'o-mon 
went  after  Ash'to-reth  the  goddess  of  the  Zi-do'ni-ans, 
and  after  Mil'com  the  abomination  of  the  Am'mon 

6  ites.  And  Sol'o-mon  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  went  not  fully  after  the  Lord, 

7  as  did  Da'vid  his  father.  Then  did  Sol'o-mon  build 
an  high  place  for  Che'mosh  the  abomination  of  Mo'ab, 
in  the  mount  that  is  before  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  for 
Mo'lech  the  abomination  of  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

8  And  so  did  he  for  all  his  strange  wives,  which  burnt 
incense  and  sacrificed  unto  their  gods. 

9  And  the  Lord  was  angry  with  Sol'o-mon,  because 
his  heart  was  turned  away  from  the  Lord,  the  God 

10  of  Is'ra-el,  which  had  appeared  unto  him  twice,  and 
had  commanded  him  concerning  this  thing,  that  he 
should  not  go  after  other  gods :  but  he  kept  not  that 

11  which  the  Lord  commanded.  Wherefore  the  Lord 
said  unto  Sol'o-mon,  Forasmuch  as  this  'is  done  of 
thee,  and  thou  hast  not  kept  my  covenant  and  my  stat- 
utes, which  I  have  commanded  thee,  I  will  surely  rend 
the  kingdom  from  thee,  and  will  give  it  to  thy  serv- 

12  ant.  Notwithstanding  in  thy  days  I  will  not  do  it, 
for  Da'vid  thy  father's  sake  :  but  I  will  rend  it  out  of 

13  the  hand  of  thy  son.  Howbeit  I  will  not  rend  away 
all  the  kingdom ;  but  I  will  give  one  tribe  to  thy  son, 
for  Da'vid  my  servant's  sake,  and  for  Je-ru'sa-lem's 
sake  which  I  have  chosen. 

14  And  the  Lord  raised  up  an  adversary  unto  Sol'o- 
mon,  Ha'dad  the  E'dom-ite :  he  was  of  the  king's  seed 

15  in  E'dom.  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  Da'vid  "was  in 
E'dom,  and  Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the  host  was  gone  up 
to  bury  the  slain,  and  had  smitten  every  male  in  E'dom ;

16  (For  six  months  did  Jo'ab  remain  there  with  all  Is'ra-el, 
until  he  had  cut  off  every  male  in  E'dom  :) 

17  That  Ha'dad  fled,  he  and  certain  E'dom-ites  of  his  father's 
servants  with  him,  to  go  into  E'gypt;  Ha'dad  beinff  yet  a 
little  child. 

18  And  they  aro,se  out  of  Mid'i-an,  and  came  to  Pa'ran  :  and 
they  took  men  with  them  out  of  Pa'ran,  and  they  came  to 
E'gypt,  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt;  which  gave  him  a 
house,  and  appointed  him  victuals,  and  gave  him  land. 

19  And  Ha'dad  found  great  favor  in  the  sight  of  Pha'raoh, 
so  that  he  gave  him  to  wife  the  sister  of  his  own  wife,  the 
sister  of  Tah'pe-nes  the  queen. 

20  And  the  sister  of  Tah'pe-nes  bare  him  Gre-nu'bath  his  son, 
whom  Tah'pe-nes  weaned  in  Pha'raoh's  house:  and  Ge-nu'bath 
was  in  Pha'raoh's  household  among  the  sons  of  Pha'raoh. 

^  "And  when  Ha'dad  heard  in  E'gypt  that  Da'vid  slept  with 
his  fiithers,  and  that  Jo'ab  the  captain  of  the  host  was  dead, 
Ha'dad  .said  to  Pha'raoh,  fLet  me  depart,  that  I  may  go  to 
mine  own  country. 

22  Then  Pha'raoh  said  unto  him.  But  what  ha.st  thou  lacked 
with  me,  that,  behold,  thou  seekest  to  go  to  thine  own  coun- 
try? And  he  answered,  f Nothing:  howbeit  let  me  go  in 
any  wise. 

23  ^And  God  stirred  him  up  (mother  adversary,  Re'zon  the 
son  of  E-li'a-dah,  which  fled  from  his  lord  "Had-ad-e'zer  king 
of  Zo'bah : 

24  And  he  gathered  men  unto  him,  and  became  captain 
over  a  band,  'when  Da'vid  slew  them  of  Zo'bah :  and  they  went 
to  Da-mas'cus,  and  dwelt  therein,  and  reigned  in  Da^mas'cus. 

25  And  he  was  an  adversary  to  Is'ra-el  all  the  days  of  Sol'o- 
mon,  besides  the  mischief  that  Ha'dad  did:  and  he  abhorred 
Is'ra-el,  and  reigned  over  Syr'i-a. 

26  ^And°Jer-o-bo'amthesonofNe'bat, anEph'rath-lte  of 
Zer'e-da,  Sol'o-mon's  servant,  whose  mother's  name  was  Ze- 
ru'ah,  a  widow  woman,  even  he  ""lifted  up  his  hand  against 
the  king. 

27  And  this  was  the  cause  that  he  lifted  up  his  hand  against 
the  king :  ""Sd'o-mon  built  Mil'lo,  and  frepaired  the  breaches 
of  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father. 

28  And  the  man  Jer-o-bo'am  vxis  a  mighty  man  of  valour : 
and  Sol'o-mon  seeing  the  young  man  that  he  fwas  industri- 
ous, he  made  him  ruler  over  all  the  fcharge  of  the  house 
of  Jo'seph. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time  when  Jer-o-bo'am  went 
out  of  Je-ru'salem,  that  the  prophet  ''A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite 
found  him  in  the  way;  and  he  nad  clad  himself  with  a  new 
garment ;  and  they  two  were  alone  in  the  field : 

30  And  A-hi'jah  caught  the  new  garment  that  was  on  him, 
and  'rent  it  in  twelve  pieces : 

31  And  he  said  to  Jer-o-bo'am,  Take  thee  ten  pieces :  for 
■/^thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I  will  rend 
the  kingdom  out  of  the  band  of  Sol'o-mon,  and  will  give  ten 
tribes  to  thee : 

32  (But  he  shall  have  one  tribe  for  my  servant  Da'vid's 
sake,  and  for  Je-ru'sa-lem'«  sake,  the  city  which  I  have  chosen 
out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el :) 

33  "Becau-se  that  they  have  forsaken  me,  and  have  wor- 
shipped Ash'to-reth  the  goddess  of  the  Zi-do'ni-ans,  Che'mosh 
the  god  of  the  Mo'ab-ites,  and  Mil'com  the  god  of  the  chil-

that  which  is  right  in  mine  eyes,  and  to  keep  my  statutes  and 
my  judgments,  as  did  Da'vid  his  father. 

34  Howbeit  I  will  not  take  the  whole  kingdom  out  of  his 
hand :  but  I  will  make  him  prince  all  the  days  of  his  life  for 
Da'vid  my  servant's  sake,  whom  I  chose,  because  he  kept 
my  commandments  and  my  statutes : 

35  But  ''I  will  take  the  kingdom  out  of  his  son's  hand,

36  And  unto  his  son  will  I  give  one  tribe,  that  'T)av'id  my 


16  (for  Jo'ab  and  all  Is'ra-el  remained  there  six  months, 
17 until   he   had  cut  off  every  male,  in  E'dom;)  that 
Ha'dad   fled,  he  and  certain  E'dom-ites   of  his  fa- 
ther's servants  with  him,  to  go  into  E'gypt ;  Ha'dad 

18  being  yet  a  little  child.  And  they  arose  out  of 
Mid'i^an  and  came  to  Pa'ran :  and  they  took  men  with 
them  out  of  Pa'ran,  and  they  came  to  E'gypt,  unto 
Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt ;  which  gave  him  an  house, 
and    appointed    him    victuals,  and   gave   him    land. 

19  And  Ha'dad  found  great  favour  in  the  sight  of 
Pha'raoh,  so  that  he  gave  him  to  wife  the  sister  of 
his   own  wife,  the   sister  of  Tah'pe-nes   the   queen. 

20  And  the  sister  of  Tah'pe-nes  bare  him  Ge-nu'bath  his 
son,  whom  Tah'pe-nes  weaned  in  Pha'i-aoh's  house: 
and  Ge-nu'bath  was  in  Pha'raoh's  house  among  the 

21  sons  of  Pha'raoh.  And  when  Ha'dad  heard  in  E'gypt 
that  Da'vid  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  that  Jo'ab  the 
captain  of  the  host  was  dead,  Ha'dad  said  to  Pha'raoh, 
Let  me  depart,  that  I  may  go  to  mine  own  country. 

22  Then  Pha'raoh  said  unto  him.  But  what  hast  thou 
lacked  with  me,  that,  behold,  thou  seekest  to  go  to 
thine  own  country?  And  he  answered,  Nothing: 
howbeit  let  me  depart  in  any  wise. 

23  And  God  raised  up  another  adversary  unto  him, 
Re'zon  the  son  of  E-li'a-da,  which  had  fled  from  his 

24 lord  Had-ad-e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah:  and  he  gathered 
men  unto  him,  and  became  captain  over  a  troop, 
when  Da'vid  .slew  them  of  Zo'bah:  and  they  went  to 
Da-mas'cus,  and  dwelt  therein,  and  reigned  in  Da- 

25mas'cus.  And  he  was  an  adversary  to  Is'ra-el  all  the 
days  of  Sol'o-mon,  beside  the  mischief  that  Ha'dad 
did:  and  he  abhorred  Is'ra-el  and  reigned  over 
Syr'i-a. 

26  And  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  an  E'phra-im-ite 
of  Zer'e-dah,  a  servant  of  Sol'o-mon,  whose  mother's 
name  was  Ze-ru'ah,  a  widow  woman,  he  also  lifted  up 

27  his  hand  against  the  king.  And  this  was  the  cause 
that  he  lifted  up  his  hand  against  the  king :  Sol'o-mon 
built  Mil'lo,  and  'repaired  the  breach  of  the  city  of 

28  Da'vid  his  father.  And  the  man  Jer-o-bo'am  was  a 
mighty  man  of  valour:  and  Sol'o-mon  saw  the  young 
man  that  he  was  industrious,  and  he  gave  him  charge 

29  over  all  the  %bour  of  the  house  of  Jo'seph.  And  it 
came  to  pass  at  that  time,  when  Jer-o-bo'am  went  out 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  thatthe  prophet  A-hi'jah  theShi'lo-nite 
found  him  in  the  way;  uo-w A-hi'jah  had  clad  him-

30  in  the  field.  And  A-hi'jah  laid  hold  of  the  new  gar- 
ment that  was  on  him,  and  rent  it  in  twelve  pieces. 

31  And  he  said  to  Jer-o-bo'am,  Take  thee  ten  pieces :  for 
thus  saith  the  LoED,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I 
will  rend  the  kingdom  out  of  the  hand  of  Sol'o-mon, 

32and  will  give  ten  tribes  to  thee:  (but  he  shall  have

37  And  I  will  take  thee,  and  thou  shalt  reign  according  to 
all  that  thy  soul  desireth,  and  shalt  be  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

38  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  wilt  hearken  unto  all  that  I  com-

unto  thee. 

39  And  I  will  for  this  afflict  the  seed  of  Da'vid,  but  not 
for  ever. 

40  Sol'o-mon  sought  therefore  to  killJer-o-bo'am.  And  Jer- 
o-bo'am  arose,  and  fled  into  E'gypt,  unto  Shi'shak  king 
of  E'gypt,  and  was  in  E'gypt  until  the  death  of  Sol'o-mon. 

41  ^And  "the  rest  of  the  ||  acts  of  Sol'o-mon,  and  all  that 
he  did,  and  his  wisdom,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  acts  of  Sol'o-mon  ? 

42  "And  the  ftime  that  Sol'o-mon  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem 
over  all  Is'ra-el  was  forty  years. 

43  "And  Sol'o-mon  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and  "Re-ho-bo'am  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

The  Israelites  assemble  at  Shechem  to  crown  Rehoboam, 

AND  "Re-ho-bo'am  went  to  She'chem :  for  all  Is'ra-el  were 
come  to  She'chem  to  make  him  king. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  'Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
who  was  yet  in  'E'gypt,  heard  oj  it,  (for  he  was  fled  from  the 
presence  of  king  Sol'o-mon,  and  Jer-o-bo'am  dwelt  in  E'gypt ;) 

3  That  they  sent  and  called  him.  And  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all 
the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  came,  and  spake  unto  Re-ho- 
bo'am,  saying, 

4  Thy  father  made  our  ""yoke  grievous :  now  therefore 
make  thou  the  grievous  service  of  thy  father,  and  his  heavy 
yoke  which  he  put  upon  us,  lighter,  and  we  will  serve  thee. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them.  Depart  yet  for  three  days,  then 
come  again  to  me.     And  the  people  departed. 

6  ^And  king  Re-ho-bo'am  consulted  with  the  old  men  that 
stood  before  Sol'o-mon  his  father  while  he  yet  lived,  and  said. 
How  do  ye  advise  that  I  may  answer  this  people  ? 

7  And  they  spake  unto  him,  saying,  'If  thou  wilt  be  a 
servant  unto  this  people  this  day,  and  wilt  serve  them,  and 
answer  them,  and  speak  good  words  to  them,  then  they  will 
be  thy  servants  for  ever. 

8  But  he  forsook  the  counsel  of  the  old  men,  which  they 
had  given  him,  and  consulted  with  the  young  men  that  were 
grown  up  with  him,  and  which  stood  before  him : 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  What  counsel  give  ye  that  we 
may  answer  this  people,  who  have  spoken  to  me,  saying, 
Make  the  yoke  which  thy  father  did  put  upon  us  lighter  ? 

10  And  the  young  men  that  were  grown  up  with  him 
spake  unto  him,  saying.  Thus  shalt  thou  speak  unto  this 
people  that  spake  unto  thee,  saying.  Thy  father  made 
our  yoke  heavy,  but  make  thou  it  lighter  unto  us  ;  thus  shalt 
thou  say  unto  them.  My  little  finger  shall  be  thicker  than  my 
father's  loins. 

11  And  now  whereas  my  father  did  lade  you  with  a  heavy 
yoke,  I  will  add  to  your  yoke :  my  father  hath  chastised  you 
with  whips,  but  I  will  chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

12  ^So  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all  the  people  came  to  Re-ho-bo'am 
the  third  day,  as  the  king  had  appointed,  saying.  Come  to 
me  again  the  third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered  the  people  froughly,  and  for- 
sook the  old  men's  counsel  that  they  gave  him ; 

14  And  spake  to  them  after  the  counsel  of  the  young  men, 
saying,  My  father  made  your  yoke  heavy,  and  I  will  add  to 
your  yoke  :  my  father  also  chastised  you  with  whips,  but  I 
will  chastise  you  with  scorpions. 


servant  may  have  a  lamp  alway  before  me  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, the  city  which  I  have  chosen  me  to  put  my 

37  name  there.  And  I  will  take  thee,  and  thou  shaft 
reign   'according  to  all  that  thy  soul  desireth,  and 

38  shalt  be  king  over  Is'ra-el.  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou 
wilt  hearken  unto  all  that  I  command  thee,  and  wilt 
walk  in  my  ways,  and  do  that  which  is  right  in  mine 
eyes,  to  keep  my  statutes  and  my  commandments, 
as  Da'vid  my  servant  did ;  that  I  will  be  with  thee, 
and  will  build  thee  a  sure  house,  as  I  built  for  Da'vid, 

39  and  will  give  Is'ra-el  unto  thee.     And  I  will  for  this 

40  afflict  the  seed  of  Da'vid,  but  not  for  ever.  Sol'o7mon 
sought  therefore  to  kill  Jer-o-bo'am :  but  Jer-o-bo'am 
arose,  and  fled  into  E'gypt,  unto  Shi'shak  king  of 
E'gypt,and  was  in  E'gypt  untilthe  death  of  Sol'o-mon. 

41  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  ^acts  of  Sol'o-mon,  and  all 
that  he  did,  and  his  wisdom,  are  they  not  written  in 

42 the  book  of  the  acts  of  Sol'o-mon?  And  the  time 
that  Sol'o-mon  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  over  all  Is'ra-el 

43  was  forty  years.  And  Sol'o-mon  slept  with  his  fathers, 
and  was  buried  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and 
Re-ho-bo'am  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 


*  And  Re-ho-bo'am  went  to  She'chem:  for  all  Is'ra-el 


12 

2  were  come  to  She'chem  to  make  him  king.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat 
heard  of  it,  (for  he  was  yet  in  E'gypt,  whither  he  had 
fled  from  the  presence  of  king  Sol'o-mon,  and  Jer-o- 

3  bo'am  dwelt  in  E'gypt,  and  they  sent  and  called  him ;) 
that  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el 

4  came,  and  spake  unto  Re-ho-bo'am,  saying.  Thy  father 
made  our  yoke  grievous :  now  therefore  make  thou 
the  grievous  service  of  thy  father,  and  his  heavy 
yoke  which  he  put  upon  us,  lighter,  and  we  will 

5  serve  thee.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Depart  yet  for 
three  days,  then  come  again  to  me.     And  the  people 

6  departed.  And  king  Re-ho-bo'am  took  counsel  with 
the  old  men,  that  had  stood  before  Sol'o-mon  his 
father  while  he  yet  lived,  saying.  What  counsel  give 

7  ye  me  to  return  answer  to  this  people  ?  And  they 
spake  unto  him,  saying,  If  thou  wilt  be  a  servant 
unto  this  people  this  day,  and  wilt  serve  them,  and 
answer  them,  and  speak  good  words  to  them,  then 

8  they  will  be  thy  servants  for  ever.  But  he  forsook 
the  counsel  of  the  old  men  which  they  had  given 
him,  and  took  counsel  with  the  young  men  that  were 

9  grown  up  with  him,  that  stood  before  him.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  What  counsel  give  ye,  that  we  may 
return  answer  to  this  people,  who  have  spoken  to  me, 
saying.  Make  the  yoke  that  thy  fether  did  put  upon 

10 us  lighter?  And  the  young  men  that  were  grown 
up  with  him  spake  unto  him,  saying,  Thus  shalt 
thou  say  unto  this  people  that  spake  unto  thee,  say- 
ing. Thy  father  made  our  yoke  heavy,  but  make 
thou  it  lighter  unto  us ;  thus  shalt  thou  speak  unto 
them,  My  little  finger  is  thicker  than   my  father's 

11  loins.  And  now  whereas  my  father  did  lade  you 
with  a  heavy  yoke,  I  will  add  to  your  yoke :  my 
father  chastised  you  with  whips,  but  I  will  chastise 

1 2  you  with  scorpions.  So  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all  the  people 
came  to  Re-ho-bo'am  the  third  day,  as  the  king  bade, 

13  saying.  Come  to  me  again  the  third  day.  And  the 
king  answered  the  people  roughly,  and  forsook  the 
counsel  of  the  old  men  which  they  had  given  him ; 

14 and  spake  to  them  after  the  counsel  of  the  young 
men,  saying.  My  father  made  your  yoke  heavy,  but 
I  will  add  to  your  yoke :  my  father  chastised  yon 
with  whips,  but  I  will  chastise  you  with  scorpions.

15  Wherefore  the  king  hearkened  not  unto  the  people ;  for 
•the  cause  was  from  the  LoED,  that  he  might  perform  his 
saying,  which  the  Lord  "spake  by  A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite  unto 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat. 

16  ^So  when  all  Is'ra-el  saw  that  the  king  hearkened  not 
unto  them,  the  people  answered  the  king,  saying,  ''What 
portion  have  we  in  Da'vid?  neither  have  we  inheritance  in 
the  son  of  Jes'se  :  to  your  tents,  O  Is'ra-el :  now  see  to  thine 
own  house,  Da'vid.     So  Is'ra-el  departed  unto  their  tents. 

17  But  'as  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  which  dwelt  in  the 
cities  of  Ju'dah,  Re-ho-bo'am  reigned  over  them. 

18  Then  king  Re-ho-bo'am  *sent  A-do'ram,who  was  over  the 
tribute;  and  all  Is'ra-el  stoned  him  with  stones,  that  he  died. 
Therefore  king  Re-ho-bo'am  fmade  speed  to  get  him  up  to 
his  chariot,  to  flee  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

19  So  'Is'ra-el  ||  rebelled  against  the  house  of  Da'vid  unto 
this  day. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  when  all  Is'ra-el  heard  that  Jer-o- 
bo'am  was  come  again,  that  they  sent  and  called  him  unto 
the  congregation,  and  made  him  king  over  all  Is'ra-el :  there 
was  none  that  followed  the  house  of  Da'vid,  but  the  tribe 
of  Ju'dah  ""only. 

21  ^And  when  "Re-ho-bo'am  was  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  he 
assembled  all  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  with  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min, 
a  hundred  and  -ourscore  thousand  chosen  men,  which  were 
warriors,  to  fight  against  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  to  bring  the 
kingdom  again  to  Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon. 

22  But  "the  word,  of  God  came  unto  Shem-a-i'ah  the  man 
of  God,  saying, 

23  Speak  unto  Re-ho-bo'am,  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon,  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  unto  all  the  house  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  and 
to  the  remnant  of  the  people,  saying, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye  shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight 
against  your  brethren  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  return  every 
man  to  his  house ;  ''for  this  thing  is  from  me.  They  hearkened 
therefore  to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  returned  to  depart, 
according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

25  ^Then  Jer-o-bo'am  'built  She'chem  in  mount  E'phra-im, 
and  dwelt  therein;  and  went  out  from  thence,  and  built 
•"Pe-nu'el.^ 

26  And  d  er-o-bo'am  said  in  his  heart.  Now  shall  the  king- 
dom return  to  the  house  of  Da'vid : 

27  If  this  people  'go  up  to  do  sacrifice  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  then  shall  the  heart  of  this  people  turn 
again  unto  their  lord,  even  unto  Re-ho-bo'am  king  of  Ju'dah, 
and  they  shall  kill  me,  and  go  again  to  Re-ho-bo'am  king  of 
Ju'dah. 

28  Whereupon  the  king  took  counsel,  and  'made  two 
calves  of  gold,  and  said  unto  them,  It  is  too  much  for  you 
to  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  "behold  thy  gods,  O  Is'ra-el,  which 
brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

29  And  he  set  the  one  in  ""Beth'-el,  and  the  other  put  he 
in  "Dan. 

30  And  this  thing  became  'a  sin :  for  the  people  went  to 
worship  before  the  one,  even  unto  Dan. 

31  And  he  made  a  "house  of  high  places,  ""and  made 
priests  of  the  lowest  of  the  people,  which  were  not  of  the 
sons  of  Le'vi. 

32  And  Jer-o-bo'am  ordained  a  feast  in  the  eighth  month, 
on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  month,  like  unto  "the  feast  that  is 
in  Ju'dah,  and  he  ||  oifered  upon  the  altar.  So  did  he  in 
Beth'-el,  ||sacrifi»"jng  unto  the  calves  that  he  had  made :  ''and 
he  placed  in  Beth'-el  the  priests  of  the  high  places  which  he 
had  made. 

33  So  he  II  offered  upon  the  altar  which  he  had  made  in 
Beth'-el  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  eighth  month,  even  in  the 
month  which  he  had 'devised  of  his  own  heart;  and  ordained 
a  feast  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  he  offered  upon  the 
altar,  fand-^burnt  incense. 


15 So  the  king  hearkened  not  unto  the  people;  for  it 
was  a  thing  brought  about  of  the  Lord,  that  he 
might  establish  his  word,  which  the  Lord  spake  by 
the  hand  of  A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite  to  Jer-o-bo'am  the 

16  son  of  Ne'bat.  And  when  all  Is'ra-el  saw  that  the 
king  hearkened  not  unto  them,  the  people  answered 
the  king,  saying.  What  portion  have  we  in  Da'vid? 
neither  have  we  inheritance  in  the  son  of  Jes'se:  to 
your  tents,  O  Is'ra-el :  now  see  to  thine  own  house, 

17  Da'vid.  So  Is'ra-el  departed  unto  their  tents.  But  as 
for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  which  dwelt  in  the  cities 

18  of  Ju'dah,  Re-ho-bo'am  reigned  over  them.  Then 
king  Re-ho-bo'am  sent  A-do'ram,  who  was  over  the 
levy ;  and  all  Is'ra-el  stoned  him  with  stones,  that  he 
died.     And  king  Re-ho-bo'am  made  speed  to  get  him 

19  up  to  his  chariot,  to  flee  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  So  Is'ra-el 
rebelled  against  the  house  of  Da'vid,  unto  this  day. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  Is'ra-el  heard  that  Jer- 
o-bo'am  was  returned,  that  they  sent  and  called  him 
unto  the  congregation,  and  made  him  king  over  all 
Is'ra-el:  there  was  none  that  followed  the  house  of 
Da'vid,  but  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah  only. 

21  'And  when  Re-ho-bo'am  was  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
he  assembled  all  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  tribe  of 
Ben'ja-min,  an  hundred  and  fourscore  thousand  chosen 
men,  which  were  warriors,  to  fight  against  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  to  bring  the  kingdom  again  to  Re-ho-bo'am 

22  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon.     But  the  word  of  God  came 

23  unto  Shem-a-i'ah  the  man  of  God,  saying.  Speak  unto 
Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon,  king  of  Ju'dah,  and 
unto  all  the  house  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  and  to 

24  the  ^rest  of  the  people,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Ye  shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight  against  your  brethren 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  return  every  man  to  his  house ; 
for  this  thing  is  of  me.  So  they  hearkened  unto  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  returned  and  went  their  way, 
according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

25  Then  Jer-o-bo'am  built  She'chem  in  the  hill  country 
of  E'phra-im,  and  dwelt  therein ;  and  he  went  out 

26  from  thence,  and  built  Pe-nu'el.  And  Jer-o-bo'am  said 
in  his  heart.  Now  shall  the  kingdom  return  to  the 

27  house  of  Da'vid :  if  this  people  go  up  to  offer  sacri- 
fices in  the  house  of  the  Lord  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  then 
shall  the  heart  of  this  people  turn  again  unto  their 
lord,  even  unto  Re-ho-bo'am  king  of  Ju'dah ;  and  they 
shall  kill  me,  and  return  to  Re-ho-bo'am  king  of  Ju'dah. 

28  Whereupon  the  king  took  counsel,  and  made  two 
calves  of  gold ;  and  he  said  unto  them,  'It  is  too 
much  for  you  to  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem;  behold  thy 
gods,  O  Is'ra-el,  which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the 

29  land  of  E'gypt.     And  he  set  the  one  in  Beth'-el,  and 

30  the  other  put  he  in  Dan.  And  this  thing  became  a 
sin :  for  the  people  went  to  worship  before  ^the  one, 

31  even  unto  Dan.  And  he  made  houses  of  high 
places,  and  made  priests  from  among  all  the  people, 

32  which  were  not  of  the  sons  of  Le'vi.  And  Jer-o-bo'am 
ordained  a  feast  in  the  eighth  month,  on  the  fifteenth 
day  of  the  month,  like  unto  the  feast  that  is  in  Ju'dah, 
and  he 'went  up  unto  the  altar;  so  did  he  in  Beth'-el, 
'sacrificing  unto  the  calves  that  he  had  made:  and 
he  placed  in  Beth'-el  the  priests  of  the  high  places 

33  which  he  had  made.  And  he  °went  up  unto  the 
altar  which  he  had  made  in  Beth'-el  on  the  fifteenth 
day  in  the  eighth  month,  even  in  the  month  which 
he  had  devised  ^of  his  own  heart:  and  he  ordained 
a  feast  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  'went  up  unto 
the  altar,  to  burn  incense.

CHAPTER  XIII. 

Jeroboam^ s  hand  wtthereth  ;  and,  at  the  prayer  of  the  prophei^  is  restored. 

AND,  behold,  there  came  "a  man  of  God  out  of  Ju'dah 
by  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Beth'-el:  'and  Jer-o-bo'am 
stood  by  the  altar  ||to  burn  incense. 

2  And  he  cried  against  the  altar  in  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
and  said,  O  altar,  altar,  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Behold,  a  child 
shall  be  born  unto  the  house  of  Da'vid,  "Jo-si'ah  by  name ; 
and  upon  thee  shall  he  offer  the  priests  of  the  high  places 
that  burn  incense  upon  thee,  and  men's  bones  shall  be  burnt 
upon  thee. 

3  And  he  gave  ''a  sign  the  same  day,  saying.  This  is  the 
sign  which  the  Lord  hath  spoken ;  Behold,  the  altar  shall 
be  rent,  and  the  ashes  that  are  upon  it  shall  be  poured  out. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  when  king  Jcr-o-bo'am  heard  the 
saying  of  the  man  of  God,  which  had  cried  against  the 
altar  in  Beth'-el,  that  he  put  forth  his  hand  from  the  altar, 
saying,  Lay  hold  on  him.  And  his  hand,  which  he  put 
forth  against  him,  dried  up,  so  that  he  could  not  pull  it  in 
again  to  him. 

5  The  altar  also  was  rent,  and  the  ashes  poured  out  from 
the  altar,  according  to  the  sign  which  the  man  of  God  had 
given  by  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  the  king  answered  and  said  unto  the  man  of  God, 
'Entreat  now  the  face  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  pray  for 
me,  that  my  hand  may  be  restored  me  again.  And  the  man 
of  God  besought  fthe  Lord,  and  the  king's  hand  was  re- 
stored him  again,  and  became  as  it.was  before. 

7  And  the  king  .said  unto  the  man  of  God,  Come  home  with 
me,  and  refresh  thyself,  and-'^I  will  give  thee  a  reward. 

8  And  the  man  of  God  said  unto  the  king,  "If  thou  wilt 
give  me  half  thine  house,  I  will  not  go  in  with  thee,  neither 
will  I  eat  bread  nor  drink  water  in  this  place : 

9  For  so  was  it  charged  me  by  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
saying,  '■Eat  no  bread,  nor  drink  water,  nor  turn  again  by 
the  same  way  that  thou  earnest. 

10  So  he  went  another  way,  and  returned  not  by  the  way 
that  he  came  to  Beth'-el. 

11  ^Now  there  dwelt  an  old  prophet  in  Bcth'-el;  and  his 
fsons  came  and  told  him  all  the  works  that  the  man  of  God 
had  done  that  day  in  Beth'-el:  the  words  which  he  had 
spoken  unto  the  king,  them  they  told  also  to  their  father. 

12  And  their  father  said  unto  them.  What  way  went  he? 
For  his  sons  had  seen  what  way  the  man  of  God  went,  which 
came  from  Ju'dah. 

13  And  he  said  unto  his  sons.  Saddle  me  the  ass.  So  they 
saddled  him  the  a.ss:  and  he  rode  thereon, 

14  And  went  after  the  man  of  God,  and  found  him  sitting 
under  an  oak :  and  he  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  the  man  of 
God  that  camest  from  Ju'dah  ?     And  he  said,  I  am. 

15  Then  he  said  unto  him,  Come  home  with  me,  and  eat 
bread. 

16  And  he  said,  'T  may  not  return  with  thee,  nor  go  in 
with  thee :  neither  will  I  eat  bread  nor  drink  water  with  thee 
in  this  place : 

17  For  fit  was  said  to  me  *by  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
Thou  shalt  eat  no  bread  nor  drink  water  there,  nor  turn 
again  to  go  by  the  way  that  thou  camest. 

18  He  said  unto  him,  I  am  a  prophet  also  as  thou  art;  and 
an  angel  spake  unto  me  by  the  word  of  the  Lord,  saying. 
Bring  him  back  with  thee  into  thine  house,  that  he  may  eat 
bread  and  drink  water.     But  he  lied  unto  him. 

19  So  he  went  back  with  him,  and  did  eat  bread  in  his 
house,  and  drank  water. 

20  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  sat  at  the  table,  that 
the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  the  prophet  that  brought 
him  back : 

21  And  he  cried  unto  the  man  of  God  that  came  from  Ju'dah, 
saying.  Thus    saith    the    Lord,  Forasmuch    as   thou  hast 


*^  And,  behold,  there  came  a  man  of  God  out  of 
Ju'dah  by  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Beth'-el :  and 
Jer-o-bo'am  was  standing  by  the  altar  to  burn  incense. 

2  And  he  cried  against  the  altar  by  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  and  said,  O  altar,  altar,  thus  saith  the  Lord  : 
Behold,  a  child  shall  be  born  unto  the  house  of 
Da'vid,  Jo-si'ah  by  name;  and  upon  thee  shall  bt 
sacrifice  the  priests  of  the  high  places  that  burn 
incense  upon  thee,  and  men's  bones  shall  they  burn 

3  upon  thee.  And  he  gave  a  sign  the  same  day,  say- 
ing. This  is  the  sign  which  the  Lord  hath  spoken  : 
Behold,  the  altar  shall  be  rent,  and  the  ashes  that 

4  are  upon  it  shall  be  poured  out.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the  king  heard  the  saying  of  the  man  of 
God,  which  he  cried  against  the  altar  in  Beth'-el, 
that  "'^  ^^r-o-bo'am  put  forth  his  hand  from  the  altar, 
saying.  Lay  hold  on  him.  And  his  hand,  which  he 
put  forth  against  him,  dried  up,  so  that  he  could  not 

5  draw  it  back  again  to  him.  Tho  altar  also  was  rent, 
and  the  ashes  poured  out  from  the  altar,  according 
to  the  sign  which  the  man  of  God  had  given  by  the 

6  word  of  the  Lord.  ^Ind  the  king  answered  and  said 
unto  the  man  of  God,  Intreat  now  the  favour  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  pray  for  me,  that  my  hand  may 
be  restored  me  again.  And  the  man  of  God  in- 
treated  the  Lord,  and  the  king's  hand  was  restored 

7  him  again,  and  became  as  it  was  before.  And  the 
king  said  unto  the  man  of  God,  Come  home  with 
me,  and  refresh  thyself,  and  I  will  give  thee  a  reward. 

8  And  the  man  of  God  said  unto  the  king.  If  thou 
wilt  give  me  half  thine  house,  I  will  not  go  in  with 
thee,  neither  will  I  eat  bread  nor  drink  water  in  thi; 

9  place :  for  so  was  it  charged  me  by  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  saying,  Thou  shalt  eat  no  bread,  nor  drink 
water,  neither  return  by  the  way  that  thou  camest. 

10  So  he  went  another  way,  and  returned  not  by  the 
way  that  he  came  to  Beth'-el. 

11  Now  there  dwelt  an  old  prophet  in  Beth'-el;  and 
'one  of  his  sons  came  and  told  him  all  the  works 
that  the  man  of  God  had  done  that  day  in  Betli'-el : 
the  words  which  he  had  spoken  unto  the  king,  them 

12  also  they  told  unto  their  father.  And  their  father 
said  unto  them.  What  way  went  he  ?  ^Now  his  sons 
had  seen  what  way  the   man   of  God  went,  which 

13  came  from  Ju'dah.  And  he  said  unto  his  sons. 
Saddle  me  the  ass.     So  they  saddled  him  the  ass: 

14  and  he  rode  thereon.  And  he  went  after  the  man 
of  God,  and  found  him  sitting  under  an  'oak  :  and 
he  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  the  man  of  God  that 

15 camest  from  Ju'dah?  And  he  said,  I  am.  Then  he 
said  unto  him.  Come  home  with  me,  and  eat  bread. 

16  And  he  said,  I  may  not  return  with  thee,  nor  go  in 
with  thee:  neither  will  I  eat  bread  nor  drink  water 

17  with  thee  in  this  place :  for  it  was  said  to  me  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  Thou  shalt  eat  no  bread  nor  drink 
water  there,  nor  turn  again  to  go  by  the  way  that 

18  thou  camest.  And  he  said  unto  him,  I  also  am  a 
prophet  as  thou  art;  and  an  angel  spake  unto  me 
by  the  word  of  the  Lord,  saying.  Bring  him  back 
with  thee   into  thine  house,  that  he  may  eat  bread 

19  and  drink  water.  But  he  lied  unto  him.  So  he 
went  back  with  him,  and  did  eat  bread  in  his  house, 

20 and  drank  water.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  sat 
at  the  table,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 

21  the  prophet  that  brought  him  back :  and  he  cried 
unto  the  man  of  God  that  came  from  Ju'dah,  say-

come  unto  the  sepulchre  of  thy  fathers. 

23  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  after  he  had  eaten  bread  and 
after  he  had  drunk,  that  he  saddled  for  him  the  ass,  to  wit, 
for  the  prophet  whom  he  had  brought  back. 

24  And  when  he  was  gone,  "a  lion  met  him  by  the  way, 
and  slew  him :  and  his  carcass  was  cast  in  the  way,  and  the 
a.ss  stood  by  it,  the  lion  also  stood  by  the  carcass. 

25  And,  behold,  men  passed  by,  and  saw  the  carcass  cast  in 
the  way,  and  the  lion  standing  by  the  carcass :  and  they  came 
and  told  it  in  the  city  where  the  old  prophet  dwelt. 

26  And  when  the  prophet  that  brought  him  back  from  the 
way  heard  thereof,  he  said,  It  is  the  man  of  God,  who  was 
disobedient  unto  the  word  of  the  Lord  :  therefore  the  Lord 
hath  delivered  him  unto  the  lion,  which  hath  ftorn  him, 
and  slain  him,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he 
spake  unto  him. 

27  And  he  spake  to  his  sons,  saying.  Saddle  me  the  ass. 
And  they  saddled  him. 

28  And  he  went  and  found  his  carcass  cast  in  the  way,  and 
the  ass  and  the  lion  standing  by  the  carcass:  the  lion  had 
not  eaten  the  carcass,  nor  ftorn  the  ass. 

29  And  the  prophet  took  up  the  carcass  of  the  man  of  God, 
and  laid  it  upon  the  ass,  and  brought  it  back :  and  the  old 
prophet  came  to  the  city,  to  mourn  and  to  bury  him. 

30  And  he  laid  his  carcass  in  his  own  grave;  and  they 
mourned  over  him,  saying,  "Alas,  my  brother ! 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  he  had  buried  him,  that  he 
spake  to  his  sons,  saying.  When  I  am  dead,  then  bury  me 
in  the  sepulchre  wherein  the  man  of  God  is  buried;  "lay  my 
bones  beside  his  bones : 

32  PFor  the  saying  which  he  cried  by  the  word  of  the  Lord 
against  the  altar  in  Beth'-el,  and  against  all  the  houses  of  the 
high  places  which  are  in  the  cities  of 'Sa-ma'ri-a,  shall  surely 
come  to  pass. 

33  ^^ After  this  thing  Jer-o-bo'am  returned  not  from  his  evil 
way,  but  fmade  again  of  the  lowest  of  the  people  priests  of 
the  high  places :  whosoever  would,  he  fconseerated  him, 
and  he  became  one  of  the  priests  of  the  high  places. 

34  'And  this  thing  became  sin  unto  the  house  of  Jer-o- 
bo'am,  even  'to  cut  it  off,  and  to  destroy  it  from  off  the 
face  of  the  earth. 

CHAF'TER   XIV. 

Jeroboam  sendeth  his  wife  to  the  prophet  Ahijah  at  Shiloh. 

AT  that  time  A-bl'jah  the  son  of  Jer-o-bo'am  fell  sick. 
2  And  Jer-o-bo'am  said  to  his  wife.  Arise,  I  pray  thee, 
and  disguise  thyself,  that  thou  be  not  known  to  be  the  wife 
of  Jer-o-bo'am ;  and  get  thee  to  Shi'loh :  behold,  there  is 
A-hi'jah  the  prophet,  which  told  me  that  "i"  should  be  king 
over  this  people. 

3  *And  take  fwith  thee  ten  loaves,  and  || cracknels,  and  a 
II cruse  of  honey,  and  go  to  him:  he  shall  tell  thee  what 
shall  become  of  the  child. 

4  And  Jer-o-bo'am's  wife  did  so,  and  arose,  ""and  went  to 
Shi'loh,  and  came  to  the  house  of  A-hi'jah.  But  A-hi'jah 
could  not  see ;  for  his  eyes  fwere  set  by  reason  of  his  age. 

5  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  A-hi'jah,  Behold,  the  wife 
of  Jer-o-bo'am  cometh  to  ask  a  thing  of  thee  for  her  son ; 
for  he  is  sick :  thus  and  thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  her :  for  it 
shall  be,  when  she  cometh  in,  that  she  shall  feign  herself 
to  be  another  woman. 

6  And  it  was  so,  when  A-hi'jah  heard  the  sound  of  her 
feet,  as  she  came  in  at  the  door,  that  he  said,  Come  in,  thou 
wife  of  Jer-o-bo'am ;  why  feignest  thou  thyself  to  be  another? 
for  I  am  sent  to  thee  vnth  fheavy  tidings. 


'been  disobedient  unto  the  mouth  of  the  Lord,  and 
hast  not  kept  the  commandment  which  the  Lord 

22  thy  God  commanded  thee,  but  camest  back,  and  bast 
eaten  bread  and  drunk  water  in  the  place  of  the 
which  he  said  to  thee.  Eat  no  bread,  and  drink  no 
water;   thy  carcase  shall  not  come  unto  the  sepul- 

23  chre  of  thy  fathers.  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  he 
had  eaten  bread,  and  after  he  had  drunk,  that  he 
saddled  for  him  the  ass,  to  wit,  for  the  prophet  whom 

24  he  had  brought  back.     And  when  he  was  gone, 
lion  met  him  by  the  way,  and  slew  him :   and   his 
carcase  was  cast  in  the  way,  and  the  ass  stood  by  it ; 

25  the  lion  also  stood  by  the  carcase.  And,  behold, 
men  passed  by,  and  saw  the  carcase  cast  in  the  way, 
and  the  lion  standing  by  the  carcase :  and  they  came 
and  told  it  in  the  city  where  the  old  prophet  dwelt. 

26  And  when  the  prophet  that  brought  him  back  from 
the  way  heard  thereof,  he  said,  It  is  the  man  of  God, 
who  'was  disobedient  unto  the  mouth  of  the  I^ord  : 
therefore  the  Lord  hath  delivered  him  unto  the  lion, 
which  hath  torn  him,  and  slain  him,  according  to  the 

27  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  unto  him.  And 
he  spake  to  his   sons,  saying.  Saddle  me  the  ass. 

28  And  they  saddled  it.  And  he  went  and  found  his 
carcase  cast  in  the  way,  and  the  ass  and  the  lion 
standing  by  the  carcase :  the  lion  had  not  eaten  the 

29  carcase,  nor  torn  the  ass.  And  the  prophet  took  up 
the  carcase  of  the  man  of  God,  and  laid  it  upon  the 
ass,  and  brought  it  back :  and  he  came  to  the  city 

30  of  the  old  prophet,  to  mourn,  and  to  bury  him.  And 
he   laid  his  carcase   in   his   own   grave ;  and  they 

31  mourned  over  him,  saying,  Alas,  my  brother!  And 
it  came  to  pass,  after  he  had  buried  him,  that  he 
spake  to  his  sons,  .saying.  When  I  am  dead,  then 
bury  me  in  the  sepulchre  wherein  the  man  of  God 

32  is  buried;  lay  my  bones  beside  his  bones.  For  the 
saying  which  he  cried  by  the  word  of  the  Lord 
again,st  the  altar  in  Beth'-el,  and  against  all  the 
houses  of  the  high  places,  which  are  in  the  cities  of 
Sa-ma'ri-a,  shall  surely  come  to  pass. 

33  After  this  thing  Jer-o-bo'am  returned  not  from  his 
evil  way,  but  made  again  from  among  all  the  people 
priests  of  the  high  places:  ^whosoever  would,  he 
consecrated  him,  that  there  might  be  priests  of  the 

34  high  places.  AndHhis  thing  became  sin  unto  the 
house  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  even  to  cut  it  off,  and  to 
destroy  it  from  off  the  fece  of  the  earth. 

-L'*^     At  that  time  A-bi'jah  the  son  of  Jer-o-bo'am  fell  sick. 

2  And  Jer-o-bo'am  said  to  his  wife,  Arise,  I  pray  thee, 
and  disguise  thyself,  that  thou  be  not  known  to  be 
the  wife  of  Jer-o-bo'am:  and  get  thee  to  Shi'loh;  be- 
hold, there  is  A-hi'jah  the  prophet,  which  spake  con- 
cerning me  that  I  should  be  King  over  this  people. 

3  And  take  with  thee  ten  loaves,  and  cracknels,  and  a 
*cruse  of  honey,  and  go  to  him:  he  shall  tell  thee 

4  what  shall  become  of  the  child.  And  Jer-o-bo'am's 
wife  did  so,  and  aro.se,  and  went  to  Shi'loh,  and  came 
to  the  house  of  A-hi'jah.    Now  A-hi'jah  could  not  see; 

5  for  his  eyes  were  set  by  reason  of  his  age.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  A-hi'jah,  Behold,  the  >vife  of  Jer-o- 
bo'am  cometh  to  inquire  of  thee  concerning  her  son ; 
for  he  is  sick :  thus  and  thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  her  : 
for  it  shall  be,  when  she  cometh  in,  that  she  shall 

6  feign  herself  to  be  another  woman.  And  it  was 
so,  when  A-hi'jah  heard  the  sound  of  her  feet,  as  she 
came  in  at  the  door,  that  he  said,  Come  in,  thou 
wife  of  Jer-o-bo'am;  why  feignest  thou  thyself  to  be 
another?  for  I  am  sent  to  thee  with  heavy  tidings.

7  Go,  tell  Jer-0-b.o'am,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
''Forasmuch  as  I  exalted  thee  from  among  the  people,  and 
made  thee  prince  over  my  people  Is'ra-el, 

8  And  'rent  the  kingdom  away  from  the  house  of  Da'vid, 
and  gave  it  thee:  and  yet  thou  hast  not  been  as  my  serv- 
ant Da'vid,  Avho  kept  my  commandments,  and  who  fol- 
lowed me  with  all  his  heart,  to  do  that  only  which  was  right 
in  mine  eyes ; 

9  But  hast  done  evil  above  all  that  were  before  thee :  "for 
thou  hast  gone  and  made  thee  other  gods,  and  molten  im- 
ages, to  provoke  me  to  anger,  and  *hast  cast  me  behind 
thy  back : 

10  Therefore,  behold,  *I  will  bring  evil  upon  the  house  of 
Jer-o-bo'am,,and  *will  cut  off  from  Jer-o-bo'am  him  that  pisseth 
against  the  wall,  'and  him  that  is  shut  up  and  left  in  Is'ra-el, 
and  will  take  away  the  remnant  of  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am, 
as  a  man  taketh  away  dung,  till  it  be  all  gone. 

1 1  '"Him  that  dieth  of  Jer-o-bo'am  in  the  city  shall  the  dogs 
eat;  and  him  that  dieth  in  the  field  shall  the  fowls  of  the 
air  eat :  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

12  Arise  thou  therefore,  get  thee  to  thine  own  house:  and 
"when  thy  feet  enter  into  the  city,  the  child  shall  die. 

13  And  all  Is'ra-el  shall  mourn  for  him,  and  bury  him  :  for 
he  only  of  Jer-o-bo'am  shall  come  to  the  grave,  because  in 
him  "there  is  found  some  good  thing  toward  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el  in  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am. 

14  ^Moreover  the  Lord  shall  raise  him  up  a  king  over 
Is'ra-el,  who  shall  cut  off  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am  that  day : 
but  what?  even  now. 

15  For  the  Lord  shall  smite  Is'ra-el,  as  a  reed  is  shaken  in 
the  water,  and  he  shall  'root  up  Is'ra-el  out  of  this  ''good 
land,  which  he  gave  to  their  fathers,  and  shall  scatter  them 
'beyond  the  river,  'because  they  have  made  their  groves, 
provoking  the  Lord  to  anger. 

16  And  he  shall  give  Is'ra-el  up  because  of  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bo'am,  "who  did  sin,  and  who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

17  *fj  And  Jer-o-bo'am's  wife  arose,  and  departed,  and  came 
to  '''Tir'zah :  and  "when  she  came  to  the  threshold  of  the 
door,  the  child  died; 

18  And  they  buried  him ;  and  all  Is'ra-el  mourned  for  him, 
'according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by  the 
hand  of  his  servant  A-hi'jah  the  prophet. 

19  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  how  he  "warred, 
and  how  he  reigned,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  book 
of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

20  And  the  days  which  Jer-o-bo'am  reigned  were  two  and 
twenty  years:  and  he  fslept  with  his  fathers,  and  Na'dab 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

2 1  "ly  And  Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sql'o-mon  reigned  in  Ju'dab. 
'Re-ho'-bo'am  loas  forty  and  one  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  seventeen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  city 
■"which  the  Lord  did  choose  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Ls'ra-el, 
to  put  his  name  there.  ''And  his  mother's  name  was  Na'a-mah 
an  Am'mon-i-te.ss. 

22  'And  Ju'dah  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  they 
■^provoked  him  to  jealousy  with  their  sins  which  they  had 
committed,  above  all  that  their  fathers  had  done. 

23  For  they  also  built  them  "high  places,  and  ||  images  *and 
groves,  on  every  high  hill,  and  'under  every  green  tree. 

24  *And  there  were  also  sodomites  in  the  land :  and  the^' 
di(  according  to  all  the  abominations  of  the  nations  which 
thi  Lord  cast  out  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

26  ^'And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fifth  year  of  king  Re- 
ho-bo'am,  that  Shi'shak  king  of  E'gypt  came  up  against  Je- 
ru'isa-lem : 

26  '"And  he  took  away  the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the  king's  house ;  he  even  took 
away  all :  and  he  took  away  all  the  shields  of  gold  "which 
Sol'o-mon  had  made. 


7  Go,  tell  Jer-o-bo'am,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el :  Forasmuch  as  I  exalted  thee  from  among  the 
people,  and  made  thee  'prince  over  my  people  Is'ra-el, 

8  and  rent  the  kingdom  away  from  the  house  of  Da'vid, 
and  gave  it  thee :  and  yet  thou  hast  not  been  as  my 
servant  Da'vid,  who  kept  my  commandments,  and 
who  followed  me  with  all  his  heart,  k    do  that  only 

9  which  was  right  in  mine  eyes;  but  hast  done  evil 
above  all  that  v/oro  before  thee,  and  hast  gone  and 
made  thee  other  gods,  and  molten  images,  to  provoke 
me  to  anger,  and  hast   cast  me  behind    thy    back : 

10  therefore,  behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon  the  house 
of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  will  cut  off  from  Jer-o-bo'am  every 
man  obild,  him  that  is  shut  up  and  him  that  is  left 
at  large  in  Is'ra-cl,  and  will  utterly  sweep  away  the 
house  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  a^  a  man  sweepeth  away  dung, 

11  till  it  be  all  gone.  Him  that  dieth  of  Jer-o-bo'am  in 
the  city  shall  tl.j  dogs  eat;  and  him  that  dieth  in 
the  field  shall  *1ic  fowls  of  the  air  eat :  for  the  Lord 

12  hath  spoken  it.  Arise  thou  therefore,  get  thee  to 
thine  house :  and  when  thy  feet  enter  into  the  city, 

13  the  child  shall  die.  And  all  Is'ra-el  shall  mourn  for 
him,  and  bury  him  ;  for  he  only  of  Jer-o-bo'am  shall 
come  to  the  grave :  because  in  him  there  is  found 
some  good  thing  toward  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'- 

14  ra-el,  in  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am.  Moreover  the  Lord 
shall  raise  him  up  a  king  over  Is'ra-el,  who  shall  cut 
off  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am   that  day:    ^but  what? 

15  even  now.  For  the  Lord  shall  smite  Is'ra-el,  as  a 
reed  is  shaken  in  the  water;  and  he  shall  root  up 
Is'ra-el  out  of  this  good  land,  which  he  gave  to  their 
fathers,  and  shall  scatter  them  beyond  the  River; 
because  they  have  made  their  Ash'er-im,  provoking 

16  the  Lord  to  anger.  Anf''  he  shall  give  Is'ra-el  up 
because  of  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  ^which  he  hath 
sinned,  and  whereM'ith  he  hath  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin 

17  And  Jer-o-bo'am's  wife  arose,  and  departed,  and  came 
to  Tir'zah :  and  as  she  came  to  the  threshold  of  the 

18  house,  the  child  died.  And  all  Is'ra-el  buried  him, 
and  mourned  for  him;  according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  spake  by  the  hand  of  his  servant 

19  A-hi'jah  the  prophet.     And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Jer-o-bo'am,  how  he  warred,  and  how  he  reigned,  be 
hold,  they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles 

20  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el.     And  the  days  which  Jer-o 
bo'am  reigned  were  two  and   twenty   yeais:  and  he 
slept  with  his  fathers,  and  Na'dab  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

21  'And  Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'^-mon  reigned  in 
Ju'dah.  Re-ho-bo'am  was  forty  and  one  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned  seventeen 
years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  oity  which  the  Lord  had 
chosen  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  to  put  his 
name  there:  and  his  mother's  name  was  Na'a-mah 

22  the  Am'mon-i-tess.  And  Ju'dah  did  that  which  was 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord;  and  they  provoked 
him  to  jealousy  with  their   sins   which   they   com- 

23  mitted,  above  all  that  their  fathers  had  done.  For 
they  also  built  them  high  places,  and  'pillars,  and 
Ash'er-im,  on  every  high  hill,  and  under  every  green 

24 tree;  and  there  were  also  "sodomites  in  the  land: 
they  did  according  to  all  the  abominations  of  the  na- 
tions which  the  Lord  drave  out  before  the  children 

25  of  Is'ra-el.  'And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fifth  year  of 
king  Re-ho-bo'am,  that  Shi'shak  king  of  E'gyptcame  up 

26  against  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  he  took  away  the  treasures 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the 
king's  house;  he  even  took  away  all:  and  he  took 
away  all  the  shields  of  gold  which  Sol'o-mon  had  made.

27  And  king  Re-ho-bo'am  made  in  their  stead  brazen 
shields,  and  committed  them  unto  the  hands  of  the  chief  of 
the  tguard,  which  kept  the  door  of  the  king's  house. 

28  And  it  was  so,  when  the  king  went  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  that  the  guard  bare  them,  and  brought  them  back 
into  the  guardchamber. 

29  1|°Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Re-ho-bo'am,  and  all 
that  he  did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chron- 
icles of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 

30  And  there  was  "war  between  Re-ho-bo'am  and  Jer-o- 
bo'am  all  their  days. 

31  "And  Re-ho-bo'am  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was 
buried  with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid.  'And  his 
mother's  name  was  Na'a-mah  an  Am'mon-i-tess.  And  'A-bi'- 
jam  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

Abijani's  wicked  reign — Asa  succeedeth  hint, 

"VTOW  "in  the  eighteenth  year  of  king  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son 
i-i    of  Ne'bat  reigned  A-bi'jam  over  Ju'dah. 

2  Three  years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  ''And  his 
mother's  name  was  "Ma'a-chah,  the  daughter  of ''A-bish'a-lom. 

3  And  he  walked  in  all  the  sins  of  his  father,  which  he 
had  done  before  him :  and  'his  heart  was  not  perfect  with 
the  Lord  his  God,  as  the  heart  of  Da'vid  his  father. 

4  Nevertheless  ■'^for  Da'vid's  sake  did  the  Lord  his  God 
give  him  a  ||lamp  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  set  up  his  son  after 
him,  and  to  establish  Je-ru'sa-lem : 

5  Because  Da'vid  "did  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes  of 
the  Lord,  and  turned  not  aside  from  any  thing  that  he  com- 
manded him  all  the  days  of  his  life,  ''save  only  in  the  matter 
of  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite. 

6  'And  there  was  war  between  Re-ho-bo'am  and  Jer-o- 
bo'am  all  the  days  of  his  life. 

7  '■'Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  A-bi'jam,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  Ju'dah?  And  there  was  war  between  A-bi'- 
jam and  Jer-o-bo'am. 

8  'And  A-bi'jam  slept  with  his  fathers;  and  they  buried  him 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and  A'sa  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

9  ^And  in  the  twentieth  year  of  Jer-o-bo'am  king  of 
Is'ra-el  reigned  A'sa  over  Ju'dah. 

10  And  forty  and  one  years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  his  ||  mother's  name  was  Ma'a-chah,  the  daughter  of 
A-bish'a-lom. 

11  "And  A'sa  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  as  did  Da'vid  his  father. 

12  "And  he  took  away  the  sodomites  out  of  the  land,  and 
removed  all  the  idols  that  his  fathers  had  made. 

1 3  And  also  "Ma'a-chah  his  mother,  even  her  he  removed  from 
being  queen,  because  she  had  made  an  idol  in  a  grove ;  and 
A'sa  fdestroyed  her  idol,  and  "burnt  it  by  the  brook  Kid'ron. 

14  'But  the  high  places  were  not  removed :  nevertheless 
A'sa's  ""heart  was  perfect  with  the  Lord  all  his  days. 

15  And  he  brought  in  the  fthings  which  his  father  had 
dedicated,  and  the  things  which  himself  had  dedicated,  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  silver,  and  gold,  and  vessels. 

16  5i  And  there  was  war  between  A'sa  and  Ba'a-sha  king 
of  I.s'ra-el  all  their  days. 

17  And  'Ba'a-.sha  king  of  Is'ra-el  went  up  against  Ju'dah, 
and  built  'Ra'mah,  "that  he  might  not  suffer  any  to  go  out 
or  come  in  to  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah. 

18  Then  A'sa  took  all  the  silver  and  the  gold  that  were 
left  in  the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
treasures  of  the  king's  house,  and  delivered  them  into  the 
hand  of  his  servants :  and  king  A'sa  sent  them  to  ^Ben-ha'dad, 
the  son  of  Tab'ri-mon,  the  son  of  He'zi-on,  king  of  Syr'i-a, 
that  dwelt  at  "Da-nias'cus,  saying, 

19  There  is  a  league  between  me  and  thee,  and  between 
my  father  and  thy  father:    behold,  I  have  sent  unto  thee 


27  And  king  Re-ho-bo'am  made  in  their  stead  shields  of 
brass,  and  committed  them  to  the  hands  of  the  cap- 
tains of  the  'guard,  which  kept  the  door  of  the  king's 

28  house.  And  it  was  so,  that  as  oft  as  the  king  went 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  the  guard  bare  them, 
and    brought   them   back   into  the   guard  chamber. 

29^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Re-ho-bo'am,  and  all 
that   he   did,  are   they  not  written  in  the  book  of 

30 the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah?  And  there 
was  war  between  Re-ho-bo'am  and  Jer-o-bo'am  con- 

31  tinually.  And  Re-ho-bo'am  slept  with  his  fathers, 
and  was  buried  with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of 
Da'vid :  and  his  mother's  name  <  ■  was  Na'a-mah 
the  Am'mon-i-tess.  And  'A-bi'jam  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

iO  *Now  in  the  eighteenth  year  of  king  Jer-o-bo'am 
the  son  of  Ne'bat  began  A-bi'jam  to  reign  over  Ju'dah. 
2  Three  years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru'salem:  and  his 
mother's  name  was  *Ma'a-cah  the  daughter  of  *A-bish'a- 
31om.  And  he  walked  in  all  the  sins  of  his  father, 
which  he  had  done  before  him :  and  his  heart  was 
not  perfect  with  the  Lord  his  God,  as  the  heart  of 

4  Da'vid  his  father.  Nevertheless  for  Da'vid's  sake  did 
the  Lord  his  God  give  him  a  lamp  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to 
set  up  his  son  after  him,  and  to  establish  Je-ru'sa-lem : 

5  because  Da'vid  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord,  and  turned  not  aside  from  any  thing 
that  he  commanded  him  all  the  days  of  his  life,  save 

6  only  in  the  matter  of  U-ri'ah  the  Hit'tite.  Now  there 
was  war  between  "Re-ho-bo'am  and  Jer-o-bo'am  all 

7  the  days  of  his  life.  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  A-bi'jam, 
and  all  that  he  did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book 
of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ?    And  there 

8  was  war  between  A-bi'jam  and  Jer-o-bo'am.  *And 
A-bi'jam  slept  with  his  fathers ;  and  they  buried  him 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and  A'sa  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

9  And  in  the  twentieth  year  of  Jer-o-bo'aip  king  of 

10  Is'ra-el  began  A'sa  to  reign  over  Ju'dah.  And  forty 
and  one  years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  his 
mother's  name  was  Ma'a-cah  the  daughter  of  A-bish'a- 

11  lom.     And  A'sa  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes 

12  of  the  Lord,  as  did  Da'vid  his  father.  And  he  put 
away  the  sodomites  out  of  the  land,  and  removed 

13  all  the  idols  that  his  fathers  had  made.  'And  also 
Ma'a-cah  his  mother  he  removed  from  being  '"queen, 
because  she  had  made  an  abominable  image  "for  an 
Ash'er-ah ;  and  A'sa  cut  down  her  image,  and  burnt 

14  it  at  the  brook  Kid'ron.  But  the  high  places  were 
not  taken  away :   nevertheless  the  heart  of  A'sa  was 

15  perfect  with  the  Lord  all  his  days.  And  he  brought 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord  the  things  that  his  father 
had  dedicated,  and  the  things  that  himself  had  dedi- 

16cated,  silver,  and  gold,  and  vessels.  And  there  was 
war  between  A'sa  and  Ba'a-sha  kingof  Is'ra-el  all  their 

17  days.  '^And  Ba'a-sha  king  of  Ls'ra-el  went  up  against 
Ju'dah,  and  built  Ra'mah,  that  he  might  not  suffer  any 

18 to  go  out  or  come  in  to  A'sa  kingof  Ju'dah.  Then 
A'sa  took  all  the  silver  and  the  gold  that  were  left  in 
the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  treas- 
ures of  the  king's  house,  and  delivered  them  into  the 
hand  of  his  servants:  and  king  A'sa  sent  them  to 
Ben-ha'dad,  the  son  of  Tab'rim-mon,  the  son  of  He'- 
zi-on, king  of  Syr'i-a,  that  dwelt  at  Da-mas'cus,  saying, 

19 '^JTiere  is  a  league  between  me  and  thee,  between  my

a  present  of  silver  and  gold  ;  come  and  break  thy  league  with 
Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  he  may  fdepart  from  me. 

20  So  Ben-ha'dad  hearkened  unto  king  A'sa,  and  sent  the 
captains  of  the  hosts  which  he  had  against  the  cities  of  Is'- 
ra-el, and  smote  'I'jon,  and  "Dan,  and  °A'bel-beth-ma'a-chah, 
and  all  Cin'ne-roth,  with  all  the  land  of  Naph'ta-li. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ba'a-sha  heard  thereof,  that 
he  left  off  building  of  Ra'mah,  and  dwelt  in  Tir'zah. 

22  "Then  king  A'sa  made  a  proclamation  throughout  all 
Ju'dah;  none  was  fexempted:  and  they  took  away  the 
stones  of  Ra'mah,  and  the  timber  thereof,  wherewith  Ba'a- 
sha  had  builded  ;  and  king  A'sa  built  with  them  ''Ge'ba  of 
Ben'ja-min,  and  'Miz'pah. 

23  The  rest  of  all  the  acts  of  A'sa,  and  all  his  might,  and 
all  that  he  did,  and  the  cities  which  he  built,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 
Nevertheless  •'^in  the  time  of  his  old  age  he  was  diseased 
in  his  feet. 

24  And  A'sa  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father  :  "and  *Je-hosh'a- 
phat  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

25  ^And  Xa'dab  the  son  of  Jer-o-bo'am  fbegan  to  reign 
over  Is'ra-el  in  the  second  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah,  and 
reigned  over  Is'ra-el  two  years. 

26  And  he  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  walked 
in  the  way  of  his  father,  and  in  'his  sin  wherewith  he  made 
Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

27  *T['And  Ba'a-sha  the  son  of  A-hi'jah,  of  the  house  of 
Is'sa-char,  conspired  against  him  ;  and  Ba'a-sha  smote  him 
at  'Gib'be-thon,  which  belonged  to  the  Phi-lis'tines ;  for 
Na'dab  and  all  Is'ra-el  laid  siege  to  Gib'be-thon. 

28  Even  in  the  third  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  did 
Ba'a-sha  slay  him,  and  reigned  in  his  stead. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  reigned,  that  he  smote 
all  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am ;  he  left  not  to  Jer-o-bo'am  any 
that  breathed,  until  he  had  destroyed  him,  according  unto 
"■the  saying  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by  his  servant 
A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite  : 

30  "Because  of  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  which  he  sinned, 
and  which  he  made  I.s'ra-el  sin,  by  his  provocation  where- 
with he  provoked  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  to  anger. 

31  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Na'dab,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

32  "And  there  was  war  between  A'sa  and  Ba'a-sha  king  of 
Is'ra-el  all  their  days. 

33  In  the  third  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  began  Ba'a-sha 
the  son  of  A-hi'jah  to  reign  over  all  Is'ra-el  in  Tir'zah, 
twenty  and  four  years. 

34  And  he  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  walked 
in  "the  way  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  in  his  sin  wherewith  he 
made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

Jehu's  prophecy  against  Baasha — Elah  succeedeth  him. 

THEN  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  "Je'hu  the  son  of 
Ha-na'ni  against  Ba'a-sha,  saying, 

2  ''Forasmuch  as  I  exalted  thee  out  of  the  dust,  and  made 
thee  prince  over  my  people  Is'ra-el ;  and  ""thou  hast  walked 
in  the  way  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  hast  made  my  people  Is'ra-el 
to  sin,  to  provoke  me  to  anger  with  their  sins  ; 

3  Behold,  I  will  ''take  away  the  posterity  of  Ba'a-sha,  and 
the  posterity  of  his  house ;  and  will  make  thy  house  like 
'the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat. 

4  -^Him  that  dieth  of  Ba'a-sha  in  the  city  shall  the  dogs 
eat ;  and  him  that  dieth  of  his  in  the  fields  shall  the  fowls 
of  the  air  eat. 

5  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Ba'a-sha,  and  what  he  did, 
and  his  might,  'are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 

I  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el? 


a  present  of  silver  and  gold ;  go,  break  thy  league 
with  Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  he  may  depart 

20  from  me.  And  Ben-ha'dad  hearkened  unto  king 
A'sa,  and  sent  the  captains  of  his  armies  against  the 
cities  of  Is'ra-el,  and  smote  I'jon,  and  Dan,  and  A'bel- 
beth-ma'a-cah,  and  all  Chin'ne-roth,  with  all  the  land 

21  of  Naph'ta-li.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ba'a-sha 
heard  thereof,  that  he  left  off  building  of  Ra'mah, 

22  and  dwelt  in  Tir'zah.  Then  king  A'sa  made  a  proc- 
lamation unto  all  Ju'dah  ;  none  M'as  exempted  :  and 
they  carried  away  the  stones  of  Ra'mah,  and  the 
timber  thereof,  wherewith  Ba'a-sha  had  builded;  and 
king  A'sa  built  therewith  Ge'ba  of  Ben'ja-min,  and 

23Miz'pah.  'Now  the  rest  of  all  the  acts  of  A'sa,  and 
all  his  might,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  the  cities 
which  he  built,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ?     But  in  the 

24  time  of  his  old  age  he  was  diseased  in  his  feet.     And 
A'sa  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and  Jehosh' 
a-phat  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

25  And  Na'dab  the  son  of  Jer-o-bo'am  began  to  reign 
over  Is'ra-el  in  the  second  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah, 

26  and  he  reigned  over  Is'ra-el  two  years.  And  he  did 
that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and 
walked  in  the  way  of  his  father,  and  in  his  sin  where' 

27  with  he  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin.  And  Ba'a-sha  the  son  of 
A-hi'jah,  of  the  house  of  Is'sachar,  conspired  against 
him  ;  and  Ba'a-sha  smote  him  at  Gib'be-thon,  which 
belonged  to  the  Phi-lis'tines ;  for  Na'dab  and  all  Is'ra-el 

28  were  laying  siege  to  Gib'be-thon.  Even  in  the  third 
year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  did  Ba'a-sha  slay  him,  and 

29  reigned  in  his  stead.      And  it  came  to  pa.ss  that,  as 
soon  as  he  was  king,  he  smote  all  the  house  of  Jer-o 
bo'am ;  he  left  not  to  Jer-o-bo'am  any  that  breathed, 
until   he   had   destroyed   him ;   according  unto  the 
saying  of  the  Lord,  which  he  .spake  by  the  hand  of 

30  his  servant  A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite :  for  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bo'am  which  he  sinned,  and  wherewith  he  made 
Is'ra-el,  to  sin  ;  because  of  his  provocation  wherev.  Jth 
he  provoked  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  to  anger. 

31  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Na'dab,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles 

32  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ?  And  there  was  war  between 
A'sa  and  Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is'ra-el  all  their  days. 

33  In  the  third  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  began 
Ba'a-sha  the  son  of  A-hi'jah  to  reign  over  all  Is'ra-el 

34  in  Tir'zah,  and  reigned  twenty  and  four  years.  And 
he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 

.j  ^and  walked  in  the  way  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  in  his  sin 

-tv wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin.     And  the  word 

of  the   Lord  came  to   Je'hu  the  son    of  Ha-na'ni 

2  against  Ba'a-sha,  saying.  Forasmuch  as  I  exalted 
thee  out  of  the  dust,  and  made  thee  ^prince  over 
my  people  Is'ra-el ;  and  thou  hast  walked  in  the 
way  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  hast  made  my  people  Is'- 
ra-el to  sin,  to  provoke  me  to  auger  with  their  sins ; 

3  behold,  I  will  utterly  sweep  away  Ba'a-sha  and  his 
house  ;  and  I  will  make  thy  house  like  the  house 

4  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat.  Him  tliat  dieth 
of  Ba'a-sha  in  the  city  shall  the  dogs  eat ;  and  him 
that  dieth  of  his  in  the  field  shall  the  fowls  of  the 

5  air  eat.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Ba'a-sha,  and 
what  he  did,  and  his  might,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el?

6  So  Ba'a-sha  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in 
*Tir'zah :  and  E'lah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

7  And  also  by  the  hand  of  the  prophet  'Je'hu  the  son  of 
Ha-na'ni  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  against  Ba'a-sha,  and 
against  his  house,  even  for  all  the  evil  that  he  did  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  in  provoking  him  to  anger  with  the  work 
of  his  hands,  in  being  like  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am ;  and 
because  'he  killed  him. 

8  ^In  the  twenty  and  sixth  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah 
Oegan  E'lah  the  son  of  Ba'a-sha  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el  in 
Tir'zah,  two  years. 

9  'And  his  servant  Zim'ri,  captain  of  half  his  chariots,  con- 
.spired  against  him,  as  he  was  in  Tir'zah,  drinking  himself 
drunk  in  the  house  of  Ar'za  fsteward  of  his  house  in  Tir'zah. 

10  And  Zim'ri  went  in  and  smote  him,  and  killed  him,  in 
the  twenty  and  seventh  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah,  and 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

11  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  began  to  reign,  as  soon 
as  he  sat  on  his  throne,  that  he  slew  all  the  house  of  Ba'a- 
sha:  he  left  him  "'not  one  that  pisseth  against  a  wall, 
II  neither  of  his  kinsfolks,  nor  of  his  friends. 

12  Thus  did  Zim'ri  destroy  all  the  house  of  Ba'a-sha,  "ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  against 
Ba'a-sha  fby  Je'hu  the  prophet, 

13  For  all  the  sins  of  Ba'a-sha,  and  the  sins  of  E'lah  his 
son,  by  which  they  sinned,  and  by  which  they  made  Is'ra-el 
to  sin,  in  provoking  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  to  anger  ''with 
their  vanities. 

14  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  E'lah,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

15  ^In  the  twenty  and  seventh  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah 
did  Zim'ri  reign  seven  days  in  Tir'zah.  And  the  people 
imre  encamped  'against  Gib'be-thon,  which  belonged  to  the 
Phi-lis'tines. 

16  And  the  people  that  were  encamped  heard  say,  Zim'ri 
hath  conspired,  and  hath  also  slain  the  king :  wherefore  all 
Is'ra-el  made  Om'ri,  the  captain  of  the  host,  king  over 
Is'ra-el  that  day  in  the  camp. 

17  And  Om'ri  went  up  from  Gib'be-thon,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
with  him,  and  they  besieged  Tir'zah. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Zim'ri  saw  that  the  city  was 
taken,  that  he  went  into  the  palace  of  the  king's  house,  and 
burnt  the  king's  house  over  him  with  fire,  and  died, 

19  For  his  sins  which  he  sinned  in  doing  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  ''in  walking  in  the  way  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  in 
his  sin  which  he  did,  to  make  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

20  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Zim'ri,  and  his  treason  that 
he  wrought,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el? 

21  ^Then  were  the  people  of  Is'ra-el  divided  into  two  parts : 
half  of  the  people  followed  Tib'ni  the  son  of  Gi'nath,  to 
make  him  king ;  and  half  followed  Om'ri. 

22  But  the  people  that  followed  Om'ri  prevailed  against 
the  people  that  followed  Tib'ni  the  son  of  Gi'nath :  so  Tib'ni 
died,  and  Om'ri  reigned. 

23  1[In  the  thirty  and  first  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah 
began  Om'ri  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el,  twelve  years:  six  years 
reigned  he  in  Tir'zah. 

24  And  he  bought  the  hill  Sa-ma'ri-a  of  She'mer  for  two 
talents  of  silver,  and  built  on  the  hill,  and  called  the  name 
of  the  city  which  he  built,  afler  the  name  of  She'mer,  owner 
of  the  hill,  t'Sa-ma'ri-a. 

25  'H'But  'Om'ri  wrought  evil  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and 
did  worse  than  all  that  were  before  him. 

26  For  he  "walked  in  all  the  way  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of 
Ne'bat,  and  in  his  sin  wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin,  to 
provoke  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  to  anger  with  their  ""vanities. 

27  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Om'ri  which  he  did,  and  his 


6  And  Ba'a-sha  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
in  Tir'zah;  and  E'lah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

7  And  moreover  by  the  hand  of  the  prophet  Je'hu 
the  son  of  Ha-na'ni  came  the  word  of  the  Lord 
against  Ba'a-sha,  and  against  his  house,  both  because 
of  all  the  evil  that  he  did  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
to  provoke  him  to  anger  with  the  work  of  his  hands, 
in  being  like  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  because 
he  smote  'him. 

8  In  the  twenty  and  sixth  year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'- 
dah began  E'lah  the  son  of  Ba'a-sha  to  reign  over 

9  Is'ra-el  in  Tir'zah,  and  reigned  two  years.     And  his 
servant  Zim'ri,  captain  of  half  his  chariots,  conspired 
against  him  :  now  he  was  in  Tir'zah,  drinking  him 
self  drunk  in  the  house  of  Ar'za,  which  was  over  the 

10 household  in  Tir'zah:  and  Zim'ri  went  in  and  smote 
him,  and  killed  him,  in  the  twenty  and  seventh  year 

11  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  reigned  in  his  stead.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  he  began  to  reign,  as  soon  as 
he  sat  on  his  throne,  that  he  smote  all  the  house  of 
Ba'a-sha:  he  left  him  not  a  single  man  child,  neither 

12  of  his  kinsfolks,  nor  of  his  friends.  Thus  did  Zim'ri 
destroy  all  the  house  of  Ba'a-sha,  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  against  Ba'a-sha 

13  by  Je'hu  the  prophet,  for  all  the  sins  of  Ba'a-sha,  and 
the  sins  of  E'lah  his  son,  which  they  sinned,  and 
wherewith  they  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin,  to  provoke  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  to  anger  with  their  vani 

14  ties.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  E'lah,  and  all  that 
he  did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el? 

15  In  the  twenty  and  seventh  year  of  A'sa  king  of 
Ju'dah  did  Zim'ri  reign  seven  days  in  Tir'zah.  Now 
the  people  were  encamped  against  Gib'be-thon,  which 

16  belonged  to  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  the  people  that 
were  encamped  heard  say,  Zim'ri  hath  conspired, 
and  hath  also  smitten  the  king:  wherefore  all  Is'ra-el 
made  Om'ri,  the  captain  of  the  host,  king  over  Is'ra-el 

17  that  day  in  the  camp.  And  Om'ri  went  up  from  Gib' 
be-thon,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  and  they  besieged 

18  Tir'zah.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Zim'ri  .saw  that 
the  city  was  taken,  that  he  went  into  the  ^castle  of 
the  king's  house,  and  burnt  the  king's  house  over 

19  him  with  fire,  and  died,  for  his  sins  which  he  sinned 
in  doing  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  in  walking  in  the  way  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  in 

20  his  sin  which  he  did,  to  make  Is'ra-el  to  sin.  Now 
the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Zim'ri,  and  his  treason  that  he 
wrought,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

21  Then  were  the  people  of  Is'ra-el  divided  into  two 
parts :  half  of  the  people  followed  Tib'ni  the  son  of 
Gi'nath,  to  make  him  king;  and  half  followed  Om'ri. 

22  But  the  people  that  followed  Om'ri  prevailed  against 
the  people  that  followed  Tib'ni  the  son  of  Gi'nath  :  so 

23  Tib'ni  died, and  Om'ri  reigned.  In  the  thirty  and  first 
year  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah  began  Om'ri  to  reign  over 
Is'ra-el,  and  reigned  twelve  years :  six  years  reigned 

24  he  in  Tir'zah.  And  he  bought  t'ae  hill  *Sa-ma'ri-a  of 
She'mer  for  two  talents  of  silver ;  and  he  'built  on  the 
hill,  and  called  the  name  of  the  city  which  he  built, 
after  the  name  of  She'mer,  the  owner  of  the  hill,  ^8a- 

25ma'ri-a.  And  Om'ri  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  dealt  wickedly  above  all  that 

26  were  before  him.  For  he  walked  in  all  the  way  of 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  and  in  his  sins  where- 
with he  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin,  to  provoke  the  Lord,

28  So  Om'ri  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in  Sa- 
naa'ri-a  :  and  A'hab  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

29  ^And  in  the  thirty  and  eighth  year  of  A'sa  king  of 
Ju'dah  began  A'hab  the  son  of  Om'ri  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el : 
and  A'hab  the  son  of  Om'ri  reigned  over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a 
twenty  and  two  years. 

30  And  A'hab  the  son  of  Om'ri  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  above  all  that  were  before  him. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  fas  if  it  had  been  a  light  thing 
for  him  to  walk  in  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
"that  he  took  to  wife  Jez'e-bel  the  daughter  of  Eth'ba-al  king 
of  the  'Zi-do'ni-ans,  "and  went  and  served  Ba'al,  and  wor- 
shipped hira. 

32  And  he  reared  up  an  altar  for  Ba'al  in  Hhe  house  of  Ba'al, 
which  he  had  built  in  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

33  ''And  A'hab  made  a  grove;  and  A'hab  ''did  more  to 
provoke  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  to  anger  than  all  the  kings 
of  Is'ra-el  that  were  before  him. 

34  ^In  his  days  did  Hi'el  the  Beth'-el-ite  build  Jer'i-cho:  he 
laid  the  foundation  thereof  in  A-bi'ram  his  firstborn,  and  set 
up  the  gates  thereof  in  his  younge.st  son  Se'gub,  ^according 
to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by  Josh'u-a  the  son 
of  Nun. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

Elijah  is  fed  by  ravens—He  r.aiseth  the  widow^s  son. 

AND  fE-li'jah  the  Tish'bite,  kJio  was  of  the  inhabitants  of 
Gil'e-ad,  said  unto  A'hab,  "As  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el 
liveth,  'before  whom  I  stand,  ''there  shall  not  be  dew  nor 
rain  ''these  years,  but  according  to  my  word. 

2  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  him,  saying, 

3  Get  thee  hence,  and  turn  thee  eastward,  and  hide  thyself 
by  the  brook  Che'rith,  that  is  before  Jor'dan. 

4  And  it  shall  be,  that  thou  shalt  drink  of  the  brook;  and 
I  have  commanded  the  ravens  to  feed  thee  there. 

5  So  he  went  and  did  according  unto  the  word  of  the 
Lord  :  for  he  went  and  dwelt  by  the  brook  Che'rith,  that  is 
before  Jor'dan. 

6  And  the  ravens  brought  him  bread  and  flesh  in  the 
morning,  and  bread  and  flesh  in  the  evening ;  and  he  drank 
of  the  brook. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass  fafter  a  while,  that  the  brook  dried 
up,  because  there  had  been  no  rain  in  the  land. 

8  5[And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  him,  saying, 

9  Arise,  get  thee  to  ''Zar'e-phath,  which  belongeth  to  Zi  don, 
and  dwell  there :  behold,  I  have  commanded  a  widow 
woman  there  to  sustain  thee. 

10  So  he  arose  and  went  to  Zar'e-phath.  And  when  be 
came  to  the  gate  of  the  city,  behold,  the  widow  woman  was 
there  gathering  of  sticks :  and  he  called  to  her,  and  said. 
Fetch  me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  in  a  vessel,  that  I  may 
drink. 

11  And  as  she  was  going  to  fetch  it,  he  called  to  her,  and 
said.  Bring  me,  I  pray  thee,  a  morsel  of  bread  in  thine  hand. 

12  And  .she  said.  As  the  Lord  thy  God  liveth,  I  have  not 
a  cake,  but  a  handful  of  meal  in  a  barrel,  and  a  little  oil  in 
a  cruse  :  and,  behold,  I  am  gathering  two  sticks,  that  I  may 
go  in  and  dress  it  for  me  and  my  son,  that  we  may  eat  it, 
and  die. 

13  And  E-li'jah  .said  unto  her.  Fear  not ;  go  and  do  as  thou 
hast  said :  but  make  me  thereof  a  little  cake  first,  and  bring 
it  unto  me,  and  after  make  for  thee  and  for  thy  son. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  The  barrel  of 
meal  shall  not  waste,  neither  shall  the  cruse  of  oil  fail,  until 
the  day  that  the  Lord  fsendeth  rain  upon  the  earth. 

1.5  And   she  went  and   did   according   to  the   saying  of 

E^li'jah :  and  .she,  and  he,  and  her  house,  did  eat  ||  many  days. 

16  And  the  barrel  of  meal  wasted  not,  neither  did  the  cruse 


might  that  he  shewed,  are  they  not  written  in  the 

28  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ?  So 
Om'ri  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in  Sa- 
ma'ri-a:  and  A'hab  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

29  And  in  the  thirty  and  eighth  year  of  A'sa  king  of 
Ju'dah  began  A'hab  the  son  of  Om'ri  to  reign  over 
Is'ra-el :  and  A'hab  the  son  of  Om'ri  reigned  over 

30  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  twenty  and  two  years.  And 
A'hab  the  son  of  Om'ri  did  that  which  was  evil  in 
the   sight  of  the   Lord  above  all  that  were  before 

31  him.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  if  it  had  been  a  light 
thing  for  him  to  walk  in  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the 
son  of  Ne'bat,  that  he  took  to  wife  'Jez'e-bel  the  daugh- 
ter of  Eth'ba-al  king  of  the  Zi-do'ni-ans,  and  went  and 

32  served  Ba'al,  and  worshipped  him.  And  he  reared 
up  an  altar  for  Ba'al  in  the  house  of  Ba'al,  which  he 

33  had  built  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And  A'hab  made  ^the  Ash'- 
er-ah  ;  and  A'hab  did  yet  more  to  provoke  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  to  anger  than  all  the  kings  of 

34  Is'ra-el  that  were  before  him.  'In  his  days  did  Hi'el 
the  Beth'-el-ite  build  Jer'i-cho :  he  laid  the  foundation 
thereof  with  the  loss  of  A-bi'ram  his  firstborn,  and  set 
up  the  gates  thereof  with  the  loss  of  his  youngest  son 
Se'gub ;  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  by  the  hand  of  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun. 

4-/  And  E-li'jah  the  Tish'bite,  who  was  ^of  the  so- 
journers of  Gil'e-ad,  said  unto  A'hab,  As  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  liveth,  before  whom  I  stand,  there 
shall  not  be  dew  nor  rain  these  years,  but  according 

2  to  my  word.     And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 

3  him,  saying,  Get  thee  hence,  and  turn  thee  east- 
ward, and  hide  thyself  by  the  brook  Che'rith,  that 

4  is  before  Jor'dan.  And  it  shall  be,  that  thou  shalt 
drink  of  the  brook ;    and  I   have  commanded    the 

5  ravens  to  feed  thee  there.  So  he  went  and  did 
according  unto  the  word  of  the  Lord  :  for  he  went 
and   dwelt    by  the    brook    Che'rith,  that    is   before 

6  Jor'dan.  And  the  ravens  brought  him  bread  and 
flesh  in  the   morning,  and  bread  and   flesh    in   the 

7  evening ;  and  he  drank  of  the  brook.  And  it  came 
to  pass  after  a  while,  that  the  brook  dried  up,  be^ 
cause  there  was  no  rain  in  the  land. 

8  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  him,  say- 

9  ing.  Arise,  get  thee  to  Zar'e-phath,  which  belongeth 
to   Zi'don,  and   dwell   there :    behold,  I   have   com- 

lOmanded  a  widow  woman  there  to  sustain  thee.  So 
he  arose  and  went  to  Zar'e-phath ;  and  when  he  came 
to  the  gate  of  the  city,  behold,  a  widow  woman  was 
there  gathering  sticks:  and  he  called  to  her,  and 
said.  Fetch  me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  in  a  ves 

llsel,  that  I  may  drink.  And  as  she  was  going  to 
fetch  it,  he  called  to  her,  and  said,  Bring  me,  I  pray 

12  thee,  a  morsel  of  bread  in  thine  hand.  And  she 
said.  As  the  Lord  thy  God  liveth,  I  have  not  a 
cake,  but  an  handful  of  meal  in  the  barrel,  and  a 
little  oil  in  the  cruse :  and,  behold,  I  am  gathering 
two  sticks,  that  I  may  go  in  and  dress  it  for  me  and 

13  my  son,  that  we  may  eat  it,  and  die.  And  E-li'jah 
said  unto  her.  Fear  not ;  go  and  do  as  thou  hast 
said :  but  make  me  thereof  a  little  cake  first,  and 
bring  it  forth  unto  me,  and  afterward  make  for  thee 

Hand  for  thy  son.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  The  barrel  of  meal  shall  not  waste, 
neither  shall  the  cruse  of  oil  feil,  until  the  day  that 

15  the  Lord  sendeth  rain  upon  the  earth.  And  she 
went  and  did  according  to  the  saying  of  E-li'jah :  and 
she,  and   he,  and   her   house,  did   eat  many   days. 

16  The  barrel  of  meal  wasted  not,  neither  did  the  cruse

spake  fby  E-Ii'jah. 

17  ^And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  the  son 
of  the  woman,  the  mistress  of  the  house,  fell  sick ;  and  his 
sickness  was  so  sore,  that  there  was  no  breath  left  in  him. 

18  And  she  said  unto  E-li'jah, -''What  have  I  to  do  with 
thee,  O  thou  man  of  God?  art  thou  come  unto  me  to  call 
my  sin  to  remembrance,  and  to  slay  my  son  ? 

19  And  he  said  unto  her,  Give  me  thy  son.  And  he  took 
him  out  of  her  bosom,  and  carried  him  up  into  a  loft,  where 
he  abode,  and  laid  him  upon  his  own  bed. 

20  And  he  cried  unto  the  Loed,  and  said,  O  Loed  my 
God,  hast  thou  also  brought  evil  upon  the  widow  with 
whom  I  sojourn,  by  slaying  her  son? 

21  "And  he  fstretched  himself  upon  the  child  three  times, 
and  cried  unto  the  Loed,  and  said,  O  Loed  my  God,  I  pray 
thee,  let  this  child's  soul  come  finto  him  again. 

22  And  the  Loed  heard  the  voice  of  E-li'jah;  and  the  soul 
of  the  child  came  into  him  again,  and  he  ''revived. 

23  And  E-li'j  ah  took  the  child,  and  brought  him  down  out 
of  the  chamber  into  the  house,  and  delivered  him  unto  his 
mother :  and  E-li'jah  said.  See,  thy  son  liveth. 

24  ^  And  the  woman  said  to  E-li'jah,  Now  by  this 'T  know 
that  thou  art  a  man  of  God,  and  that  the  word  of  the  Loed 
in  thy  mouth  is  truth.

Elijah,  by  prayer  obtaining  rain^foUoweth  Ahab  to  Jezreel. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  ajter  "many  days,  that  the  word  of 
the  Loed  came  to  E-li'jah  in  the  th  ird  year,  say  ing.  Go,  she  w 
thyself  unto  A'hab ;  and  ''I  will  send  rain  upon  the  earth. 

2  And  E-li'jah  went  to  show  himself  unto  A'hab.  And 
there  was  a  sore  famine  in  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

3  And  A'hab  called  fO-ba-di'ah,  which  was  fthe  governor 
of  his  house.     (Now  O-ba-di'ah,  feared  the  Loed  greatly : 

4  For  it  was  so,  when  f  Jez'e-bel  cut  off  the  prophets  of  the 
Loed,  that  O-ba-di'ah  took  a  hundred  prophets  and  hid 
them  by  fifty  in  a  cave,  and  fed  them  with  bread  and  water.) 

5  And  A'hab  said  unto  O-ba-di'ah,  Go  into  the  land,  unto  all 
fountains  of  water,  and  unto  all  brooks:  peradveuture  we 
may  find  grass  to  save  the  horses  and  mules  alive,  fthat 
we  lose  not  all  the  beasts. 

6  So  they  divided  the  land  between  them  to  pass  through- 
out it :  A'hab  went  one  way  by  himself,  and  O-ba-di'ah  went 
another  way  by  himself. 

7  ^And  as  O-ba-di'ah  was  in  the  way,  behold,  E-li'jah  met 
him :  and  he  knew  him,  and  fell  on  his  face,  and  said,  Art 
thou  that  my  lord  E-li'jah? 

8  And  he  answered  him,  I  am:  go,  tell  thy  lord.  Behold, 
E-li'jah  is  here. 

9  And  he  said,  What  have  I  sinned,  that  thou  wouldest 
deliver  thy  servant  into  the  hand  of  A'hab,  to  slay  me  ? 

10  As  the  Loed  thy  God  liveth,  there  is  no  nation  or 
kingdom  whither  my  lord  hath  not  sent  to  seek  thee :  and 
when  they  said.  He  is  not  there;  he  took  an  oath  of  the 
kingdom. and  nation,  that  they  found  thee  not. 

11  And  now  thou  sayest.  Go,  tell  thy  lord.  Behold,  E-li'jah 
is  here.  » 

i2  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  as  soon  as  I  am  gone  from 
thee,  that  ''the  Spirit  of  the  Loed  shall  carry  thee  whither  I 
know  not ;  and  so  when  I  come  and  tell  A'hab,  and  he  can- 
not find  thee,  he  shall  slay  me :  but  I  thy  servant  fear  the 
Loed  from  my  youth. 

1 3  Was  it  not  told  my  lord  what  I  did  when  Jez'e-bel  slew 
the  prophets  of  the  Loed,  how  I  hid  a  hundred  men  of 
the  Ix)Ed's  prophets  by  fifty  in  a  cave,  and  fed  them  with 
bread  and  water? 

14  And  now  thou  sayest,  Go,  tell  thy  lord.  Behold,  E-li'jah 
is  here:  and  he  shall  slay  me. 


of  oil  fail,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Loed,  which 

17  he  spake  by  E-li'jah.  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these 
things,  that  the  son  of  the  woman,  the  mistress  of  the 
house,  fell  sick;  and  his  sickness  was  so  sore,  that 

18  there  was  no  breath  left  in  him.  And  she  said  unto 
E-li'jah,  What  have  I  to  do  with  thee,  O  thou  man  of 
God  ?  'thou  art  come  unto  me  to  bring  my  sin  to  re- 

19membrance,  and  to  slay  my  son !  And  he  said  unto 
her,  Give  me  thy  son.  And  he  took  him  out  of  her 
bosom,  and  carried  him  up  into  the  chamber,  where 

20  he  abode,  and  laid  him  upon  his  own  bed.  And  he 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Loed  my  God, 
hast  thou  also  brought  evil   upon  the  widow  with 

21  whom  I  sojourn,  by  slaying  her  son?  And  he 
stretched  himself  upon  the  child  three  times,  and 
cried  unto  the  Loed,  and  said,  O  Loed  my  God,  I 
pray  thee,  let  this  child's  soul  come  into  him  again. 

22  And  the  Loed  hearkened  unto  the  voice  of  E-li'jah ; 
and  the  soul  of  the  child  came  into  him  again,  and 

23  he  revived.  And  E-li'jah  took  the  child,  and  brought 
him  down  out  of  the  chamber  into  the  house,  and 
delivered  him  unto  his  mother:  and  E-li'jah  said, 

24  See,  thy  son  liveth.  And  the  woman  said  to 
E-li'jah,  Now  I  know  that  thou  art  a  man  of  God, 
and  that  the  word  of  the  Lord  in  thy  mouth  is 
truth. 

J-O  And  it  came  to  pass  after  many  days,  that  the 
word  of  the  Loed  came  to  E-li'jah  in  the  third  year, 
saying.  Go,  shew  thyself  unto  A'hab ;  and  I  will  send 

2  rain  upon  the  earth.  And  E-li'jah  went  to  shew  him- 
self unto  A'hab.     And  the  famine  was  sore  in  Sa- 

3  ma'ri-a.  And  A'hab  called  O-ba-di'ah,  which  was  over 
the  household.     (Now  O-ba-di'ah  feared  the  Loed 

4 greatly:  for  it  was  so,  when  Jez'e-bel  cut  off  the 
jjrophets  of  the  Loed,  that  O-ba-di'ah  took  an  hun- 
dred prophets,  and  hid  them  by  fifty  in  a  cave,  and 

5  fed  them  with  bread  and  water.)  And  A'hab  said 
unto  O-ba-di'ah,  Go  through  the  land,  unto  all  the 
fountains  of  water,  and  unto  all  the  brooks:  perad- 
venture  we  may  find  grass  and  save  the  horses  and 

6  mules  alive,  ^that  we  lose  not  all  the  beasts.  So 
they  divided  the  land  between  them  to  pass  through- 
out it :  A'hab  went  one  way  by  himself,  and  O-ba-di'ah 

7  went  another  way  by  himself.  A  nd  as  O-ba-di'ah  was 
in  the  way,  behold,  E-li'jah  met  him:  and  he  knew 
him,  and  fell  on  his  face,  and  said.  Is  it  thou,  my  lord 

8  E-li'jah  ?     And  he  answerd  him,  It  is  I :  go,  tell  thy 

9  lord.  Behold,  E-li'jah  is  here.  And  he  said.  Wherein 
have  I  sinned,  that  thou  wouldest  deliver  thy  servant 

10 into  the  hand  of  A'hab  to  slay  me?  As  the  Lord 
thy  God  liveth,  there  is  no  nation  or  kingdom, 
whither  my  lord  hath  not  sent  to  seek  thee :  and 
when  they  said,  He  is  not  here,  he  took  an  oath  of 
the  kingdom  and  nation,  that  they  found  thee  not. 

11  And  now  thou  sayest,  Go,  tell  thy  lord.  Behold, 

12  E-li'jah  is  here.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  I  am  gone  from  thee,  that  the  spirit  of  the 
Loed  shall  carry  thee  whither  I  know  not;  and 
so  when  I  come  and  tell  A'hab,  and  he  cannot  find 
thee,  he  shall  slay  me:    but  I  thy  servant  fear  the 

13  Loed  from  my  youth.  Was  it  not  told  my  lord 
what  I  did  when  Jez'e-bel  slew  the  prophets  of  the 
Lord,  how  I  hid  an  hundred  men  of  the  Loed's 
prophets  by  fifty  in  a  cave,  and  fed  them  with  bread 

14 and  water?  And  now  thou  sayest.  Go,  tell  thy 
lord.  Behold,  E-li'jah  is  here:  and  he  shall  slay  me

15  And  E-li'jah  said,  As  the  Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before 
whom  I  staud,  I  will  surely  shew  myself  unto  him  to-day. 

16  So  O-ba-di'ah  went  to  meet  A'hab,  and  told  him:  and 
A'hab  went  to  meet  E-li'jah. 

17  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  A'hab  saw  E'li-jah,  that 
A'hab  said  unto  him,  '^Art  thou  he  that  *troubleth  Is'ra-el  ? 

18  And  he  answered,  I  have  not  troubled  Is'ra-el;  but  thou, 
and  thy  father's  house,  -^in  that  ye  have  forsaken  the  com- 
mandments of  the  LoKD,  and  thou  hast  followed  Ba'al-im. 

19  Now  therefore  send,  and  gather  to  me  all  Is'ra-el  unto 
mount  "Car'mel,  and  the  prophets  of  Ba'al  four  hundred  and 
fifty,  'and  the  prophets  of  the  groves  four  hundred,  which 
eat  at  Jez'e-bel's  table. 

20  So  A'hab  sent  unto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  'gath- 
ered the  prophets  together  unto  mount  Car'mel. 

21  And  E-li'jah  came  unto  all  the  people  and  said,  *How 
long  halt  ye  between  two  || opinions?  if  the  Lord  be  God, 
follow  him :  but  if  'Ba'al,  then  follow  him.  And  the  people 
answered  him  not  a  word. 

22  Then  said  E-li'jah  unto  the  people,  "I,  even  I  only,  re- 
main a  prophet  of  the  Lord;  "but  Ba'al's  prophets  are  four 
hundred  and  fifty  men. 

23  Let  them  therefore  give  us  two  bullocks ;  and  let  them 
choose  one  bullock  for  themselves,  and  cut  it  in  pieces,  and 
lay  it  on  wood,  and  put  no  fire  under:  and  I  will  dress  the 
other  bullock,  and  lay  it  on  wood,  and  put  no  fire  under : 

24  And  call  ye  on  the  name  of  your  gods,  and  I  will  call 
on  the  name  of  the  Lord  :  and  the  God  that  "answereth  by 
fire,  let  him  be  God.  And  all  the  people  answered  and 
said,  fit  is  well  spoken. 

25  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  the  prophets  of  Ba'al,  Choose  you 
one  bullock  for  yourselves,  and  dress  it  first ;  for  ye  are 
many ;  and  call  on  the  name  of  your  gods,  but  put  no  fire 
under. 

26  And  they  took  the  bullock  which  was  given  them,  and 
they  dressed  it,  and  called  on  the  name  of  Ba'al  from  morn- 
ing even  until  noon,  saying,  O  Ba'al,  ||hear  us.  But  there 
was  ''no  voice,  nor  any  that  ||  answered.  And  they  ||  leaped 
upon  the  altar  which  was  made. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  noon,  that  E-li'jah  mocked  them, 
and  said.  Cry  f aloud:  for  he  is  a  god;  either  Hhe  is  talking, 
or  he  fis  pursuing,  or  he  is  in  a  journey,  or  peradventure 
he  sleepeth,  and  must  be  awaked. 

28  And  they  cried  aloud,  and  "cut  themselves  after  their 
manner  with  knives  and  lancets,  till  fthe  blood  gushed  out 
upon  them. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  midday  was  past,  'and  they 
prophesied  until  the  time  of  the  foffering  of  the  evening 
sacrifice,  that  there  was  'neither  voice,  nor  any  to  answer, 
nor  any  f  that  regarded. 

30  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  all  the  people.  Come  near  unto 
me.  And  all  the  people  came  near  unto  him.  'And  he 
repaired  the  altar  of  the  Lord  that  was  broken  down. 

31  And  E-li'jah  took  twelve  stones,  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  the  tribes  of  the  sons  of  Ja'cob,  unto  whom  the  word 
of  the  Lord  came,  saying,  "Is'ra-el  shall  be  thy  name : 

32  And  with  the  stones  he  built  an  altar  "'in  the  name  of 
the  Lord  :  and  he  made  a  trench  about  the  altar,  as  great 
as  would  contain  two  measures  of  seed. 

33  And  he  "put  the  wood  in  order,  and  cut  the  bullock  in 
pieces,and  laid  him  on  the  wood,  and  said,Fill  four  barrels  with 
water,  and  'pour  it  on  the  burnt  sacrifice,  and  on  the  wood. 

34  And  he  said.  Do  it  the  second  time.  And  they  did  it 
the  second  time.  And  he  said.  Do  it  the  third  time.  And 
they  did  it  the  third  time. 

35  And  the  water  fran  round  about  the  altar;  and  he  filled 
"the  trench  also  with  water. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time  of  the  offering  of  the 
evening  sacrifice,  that  E-li'jah  the  prophet  came  near  and  said, 


1 5  And  E-li'jah  said,  As  the  Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before 
whom  I  stand,  I  will  surely  shew  myself  unto  him 

16  to-day.     So  O-ba-di'ah  went  to  meet  A'hab,  and  told 

17  him:  and  A'hab  went  to  meet  E-li'jah.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  A'hab  saw  E-li'jah,  that  A'hab  said  unto 

18  him.  Is  it  thou,  thou  troubler  of  Is'ra-el  ?     And  he  an- 
swered, I  have  not  troubled  Is'ra-el;  but  thou,  and  thy 
father's   house,  in   that  ye  have  forsaken    the  com 
mandments  of  the  Lord,  and  thou  hast  followed  the 

19  Ba'al-im.  Now  therefore  send,  and  gather  to  me  all 
Is'ra-el  unto  mount  Car'mel,  and  the  prophets  of  Ba'al 
four  hundred  and  fifty,  and  the  prophets  of  the  Ash' 

20  er-ah  four  hundred,  which  eat  at  Jez'e-bel's  table.  So 
A'hab  sentunto  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,and  gathered 

21  the  prophets  together  unto  mount  Car'mel.  And  E-li'- 
jah came  near  unto  all  the  people,  and  said.  How  long 
halt  ye  between  two  opinions?  if  the  Lord  be  God, 
follow  him :  but  if  Ba'al,  then  follow  him.     And  the 

22  people  answered  him  not  a  word.  Then  said  E-li'jah 
unto  the  people,  I,  even  I  only,  am  left  a  prophet  of 
the  Lord;  but  Ba'al's  prophets  are  four  hundred  and 

23  fifty  men.  Let  them  therefore  give  us  two  bullocks ; 
and  let  them  choose  one  bullock  for  themselves,  and 
cut  it  in  pieces,  and  lay  it  on  the  wood,  and  put  no 
fire  under :  and  I  will  dress  the  other  bullock,  and 

24  lay  it  on  the  wood,  and  put  no  fire  under.  And  call 
ye  on  the  name  of  your  god,  and  I  will  call  on  the 
name  of  the  Lord  :  and  the  God  that  answereth  by 
fire,  let  him  be  God.     And  all  the  people  answered 

25  and  said.  It  is  well  spoken.  And  E-lijah  said  unto 
the  prophets  of  Ba'al,  Choose  you  one  bullock  for 
yourselves,  and  dress  it  first ;  for  ye  are  many ;  and 
call  on  the  name  of  your  god,  but  put  no  fire  under. 

26  And  they  took  the  bullock  which  was  given  them, 
and  they  dressed  it,  and  called  on  the  name  of  Ba'al 
from  morning  even  until  noon,  saying,  O  Ba'al,  'hear 
us.  But  there  was  no  voice,  nor  any  that  answered. 
And  they  ^leaped  about  the  altar  which  was  made. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  noon,  that  E-li'jah  mocked 
them,  and  said.  Cry  aloud :  for  he  is  a  god ;  either 
he  is  musing,  or  he  is  gone  aside,  or  he  is  in  a  jour 
ney,  or    peradventure    he    sleepeth,    and    must  be 

28  awaked.  And  they  cried  aloud,  and  cut  themselves 
after  their  manner  with  'knives  and  lances,  till  the 

29  blood  gushed  out  upon  them.  And  it  was  so,  when 
midday  was  past,  that  they  prophesied  until  the 
time  of  the  offering  of  the  evening  oblation ;  but 
there  was  neither  voice,  nor  any  to  answer,  nor  any 

30*that  regarded.  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  all  the  people, 
Come  near  unto  me ;  and  all  the  people  came  near 
unto  him.     And  he  repaired  the  altar  of  the  Lord 

31  that  was  thrown  down.  And  E-li'jah  took  twelve 
stones,  according  to  the  number  of  the  tribes  of  the 
sons  of  Ja'cob,  unto  whom  the  word  of  the  Lord 

32  came,  saying,  Is'ra-el  shall  be  thy  name.  And  with 
the  stones  he  built  an  altar  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  he  made  a  trench  about  the  altar,  as  great  as 

33  would  contain  Hwo  measures  of  seed.  And  he  put 
the  wood  in  order,  and  cut  the  bullock  in  pieces, 
and  laid  it  on  the  wood.  And  he  said.  Fill  four 
barrels  with  water,  and  pour  it  on  the  burnt  offer- 

34  ing,  and  on  the  wood.  And  he  said.  Do  it  the  second 
time;  and  they  did  it  the  second  time.  And  he 
said.  Do  it  the  third  time ;  and  they  did  it  the  third 

35  time.     And  the  water  ran  round  about  the  altar ;  and 

36  he  filled  the  trench  also  with  water.  And  it  came  to 
pass  at  the  time  of  the  offering  of  the  evening  ob- 
lation, that  E-li'jah  the  prophet  came  near,  and  said,

LoKD  ''God  of  A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  of  Is'ra-el,  "let  it  be 
known  thi.sday  that  thou  art  God  in  Is'ra-el,  and  <Aa<  I  am  thy 
servant,  and  that  ''I  have  done  all  these  things  at  thy  word. 

37  Hear  me,  OLobd,  hear  me,  that  this  people  may  know 
that  thou  art  the  Lord  God,  and  that  thou  hast  turned  their 
heart  back  again. 

38  Then  ''the  fire  of  the  Lord  fell,  and  consumed  the 
burnt  .sacrifice,  and  the  wood,  and  the  stones,  and  the  dust, 
and  licked  up  the  water  that  was  in  the  trench. 

39  And  when  all  the  people  saw  it,  they  fell  on  their  faces : 
and  they  said,  ^The  Lord,  he  is  the  God  j  the  Lord,  he  is 
the  God. 

40  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  them,  [["Take  the  prophets  of 
Ba'al ;  let  not  one  of  them  escape.  And  they  took  them  ; 
and  E-li'jah  brought  them  down  to  the  brook  Ki'shon,  and 
''slew  them  there. 

41  ■UAnd  E-li'jah  said  unto  A'hab,  Get  thee  up,  eat  and 
drink  ;  for  there  is  ||  a  sound  of  abundance  of  rain. 

42  So  A'hab  went  up  to  eat  and  to  drink.  And  E-li'jah  went 
up  to  the  top  of  Car'mel ;  'and  he  cast  himself  down  upon 
the  earth,  and  put  his  face  between  his  knees, 

43  And  said  to  his  servant.  Go  up  now,  look  toward  the 
sea.  And  he  went  up,  and  looked,  and  said,  There  is  noth- 
ing.    And  he  said.  Go  again  seven  times. 

44  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  seventh  time,  that  he  said. 
Behold,  there  ariseth  a  little  cloud  out  of  the  sea,  like  a  man's 
hand.  And  he  said.  Go  up,  say  unto  A'hab,  fPrepare  thy 
chariot,  and  get  thee  down,  that  the  rain  stop  thee  not. 

45  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  mean  while,  that  the  heaven 
was  black  with  clouds  and  wind,  and  there  was  a  great  rain. 
And  A'hab  rode,  and  went  to  Jez're-el. 

46  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  on  E-li'jah;  andhe*girded 
up  his  loins,  and  ran  before  A'hab  fto  the  entrance  of  Jez're-el. 

CHAPTER   XIX. 

Elisha  taking  leave  of  his  frtends,  followeth  Elijah. 

AND  A'hab  told  Jez'e-bel  all  that  E-li'jah  had  done,  and 
withal  how  he  had  "slain  all  the  prophets  with  the  sword. 

2  Then  Jez'e-bel  sent  a  messenger  unto  E'li-jah,  saying,  ''So 
let  the  gods  do  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  I  make  not  thy  life 
as  the  life  of  one  of  them  by  to-morrow  about  this  time. 

3  And  when  he  saw  that,  he  arose,  and  went  for  his  life, 
and  came  to  Be'er-she'ba,  which  belcmgeth  to  Ju'dah,  and  left 
his  servant  there. 

4  ^But  he  himself  went  a  day's  journey  into  the  wilder- 
ness, and  came  and  sat  down  under  a  juniper  tree:  and  he 
''requested  ffor  himself  that  he  might  die ;  and  said.  It  is 
enough ;  now,  O  Lord,  takeaway  my  life;  for  I  am  not  bet- 
ter than  my  fathers. 

5  And  as  he  lay  and  slept  under  a  juniper  tree,  behold,  then 
an  angel  touched  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Arise  and  eat. 

6  And  he  looked,  and,  behold,  there  was  a  cake  baken  on 
the  coals,  and  a  cruse  of  water  at  his  fhead.  And  he  did  eat 
and  drink,  and  laid  him  down  again. 

7  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came  again  the  second  time, 
and  touched  him,  and  said,  Arise  and  eat;  because  the  jour- 
ney is  too  great  for  thee. 

8  And  he  arose,  and  did  eat  and  drink,  and  went  in  the 
strength  of  that  meat  ''forty  days  and  forty  nights  unto 
'Ho'reb  the  mount  of  God. 

9  ^And  he  came  thither  unto  a  cave,  and  lodged  there; 
and,  behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  him,  and  he  said 
unto  him,  What  doest  thou  here,  E-li'jah  ? 

10  And  he  said,  ^1  have  been  very  "jealous  for  the  Lord 
God  of  hosts :  for  the  children  of 'Is'ra-el  have  forsaken  thy 
covenant,  thrown  down  thine  altars,  and  ''slain  thy  prophets 
with  the  sword ;  and  'I,  even  I  only,  am  left ;  and  they  seek 
my  life,  to  take  it  away. 

11  And  he  said.  Go  forth,  and  stand  *upon  the  mount 
before  the  Lord.     And,  behold,  the  Lord  passed  by,  and  'a 


O  Lord,  the  God  of  A'bra-ham, of  Isaac,  and  of  Is'ra-el, 
let  it  be  known  this  day  that  thou  art  God  in  Is'ra-el, 
and  that  I  am  thy  servant,  and  that  I  have  done  all 

37  these  things  at  thy  word.  Hear  me,  O  Lord,  hear 
me,  that  this  people  may  know  that  thou.  Lord,  art 
God,  'and  that  thou  hast  turned  their    heart   back 

38  again.  Then  the  fire  of  the  Lord  fell,  and  consumed 
the  burnt  offering,  and  the  wood,  and  the  stones,  and 
the  dust,  and  licked   up  the  water  that  was  in  the 

39  trench.  And  when  all  the  people  saw  it,  they  fell 
on  their  faces :  and  they  said.  The  Lord,  he  is  God ; 

40  the  Lord,  he  is  God.  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  them, 
Take  the  prophets  of  Ba'al;  let  not  one  of  them 
escape.  And  they  took  them :  and  E-li'jah  brought 
them  down  to  the  brook  Ki'shon,    and  slew  them 

41  there.  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  A'hab,  Get  thee  up,  eat 
and  drink ;   for  there  is  the  sound  of  abundance  of 

42  rain.  So  A'hab  went  up  to  eat  and  to  drink.  And 
E-li'jah  went  up  to  the  top  of  Car'mel ;  and  he  bowed 
himself  down  upon  the  earth,  and  put  his  face  be- 

43tween  his  knees.  And  he  said  to  his  servant.  Go 
up  now,  look  toward  the  sea.  And  he  went  up,  and 
looked,  and  said.  There  is   nothing.     And  he  said, 

44  Go  again  seven  times.  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
seventh  time,  that  he  said.  Behold,  there  ariseth  a 
cloud  out  of  the  sea,  as  small  as  a  man's  hand.  And 
he  said.  Go  up,  say  unto  A'hab,  ^Make  ready  thy 
chariot,  and  get  thee  down,  that  the  rain  stop  thee 

45  not.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  a  little  while,  that  the 
heaven  grew  black  with  clouds  and  wind,  and  there 
was  a  great  rain.     And  A'hab  rode,  and  went  to  Jez'- 

46  re-el.  Arid  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  on  E-li'jah ;  and 
he  girded  up  his  loins,  and  ran  before  A'hab  to  the 
entrance  of  Jez're-el. 

iv  And  A'hab  told  Jez'e-bel  allthat  E-li'jah  had  done, 
and  withal  how  he  had  slain  all  the  prophets  with 

2  the  sword.  Then  Jez'e-bel  sent  a  messenger  unto 
E-li'jah,  saying.  So  let  the  gods  do  to  me,  and  more 
also,  if  I  make  not  thy  life  as  the  life  of  one  of  them 

3  by  to-morrow  about  this  time.  ^And  when  he  saw 
that,  he  arose,  and  went  for  his  life,  and  came  to  Be'er- 
she'ba,  which  belongeth  to  Ju'dah,  and  left  his  servant 

4  there.  But  he  himself  went  a  day's  journey  into  the 
wilderness,  and  came  and  sat  down  under  a  ^juniper 
tree :  and  he  requested  for  himself  that  he  might 
die;  and  said,  It  is  enough ;  now,  O  Lord,  take  away 

5  my  life ;  for  I  am  not  better  than  my  fathers.  And 
he  lay  down  and  slept  under  a  juniper  tree;  and, 
behold,   an   angel  touched  him,  and  said  unto  him, 

6  Arise  and  eat.  And  he  looked,  and,  behold,  there 
was  at  his  head  a  cake  baken  on  the  ''coals,  and  a 
cruse  of  water.     And  he  did  eat  and  drink,  and  laid 

7  him  down  again.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came 
again  the  second  time,  and  touched  him,  and  said, 
Arise  and  eat ;  because  the  journey  is  too  great  for 

8  thee.  And  he  arose,  and  did  eat  and  drink,  and 
went  in  the  strength  of  that  meat  forty  days  and 

9  forty  nights  unto  Ho'reb  the  mount  of  God.  And 
he  came  thither  unto  a  cave,  and  lodged  there ;  and, 
behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  him,  and  he 

10  said  unto  him.  What  doest  thou  here,  E-li'jah  ?  And 
he  said,  I  have  been  very  jealous  for  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  hosts ;  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  have  for- 
saken thy  covenant,  thrown  down  thine  altars,  and 
slain  thy  prophets  with  the  sword:  and  I,  even  I  only,

13  And  it  was  so,  when  E-li'jah  heard  it,  that  '"he  wrapped 
his  face  in  his  mantle,  and  went  out,  and  stood  in  the  enter-

16  And  "Je'hu  the  son  of  Nim'shi  shalt  thou  anoint  to  be 
king  over  Is'ra-el :  and ''E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'phat  of  A'bel- 
me-ho'lah  .shalt  thou  anoint  to  be  prophet  in  thy  room. 

17  And  'it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  him  that  escapeth  the 
sword  of  Haz'a-el  shall  Je'hu  slay :  and  him  that  escapeth 
from  the  sword  of  Je'hu  'shall  E-li'sha  slay. 

18  "Yet  II I  have  left  me  seven  thousand  in  Is'ra-el,  all  the 
knees  which  have  not  bowed  unto  Ba'al,  ''and  every  mouth 
which  hath  not  kissed  him. 

19  l[So  he  departed  thence  and  found  E-li'sha  the  son  of 
Sha'phat,  who  was  ploughing  with  twelve  yoke  of  oxen 
before  him,  and  he  with  the  twelfth :  and  E-li'jah  pa-seed  by 
him,  and  cast  his  mantle  upon  him. 

20  And  he  left  the  oxen,  and  ran  after  E-li'jah,  and  said, 
"Let  me,  I  pray  thee,  kiss  my  father  and  my  mother,  and 
then  I  will  follow  thee.  And  he  said  unto  him,  f  Go  back 
again :  for  what  have  I  done  to  thee  ? 

21  And  he  returned  back  from  him,  and  took  a  yoke  of 
oxen,  and  slew  them,  and  'boiled  their  flesh  with  the  in- 
struments of  the  oxen,  and  gave  unto  the  people,  and  they 
did  eat.  Then  he  arose,  and  went  after  E-li'jah,  and  min- 
istered unto  him.

AND  Ben-ha'dad  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  gathered  all  his  host 
together :  and  there  were  thirty  and  two  kings  with  him, 
and  horses,  and  chariots :  and  he  went  up  and  besieged 
Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  warred  against  it. 

2  And  he  sent  messengers  to  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el  into 
the  city,  and  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  Ben-ha'dad, 

3  Thy  silver  and  thy  gold  is  mine;  thy  wives  also  and 
thy  children,  even  the  goodliest,  are  mine. 

4  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  answered  and  said,  My  lord,  O 
king,  according  to  thy  saying,  I  am  thine,  and  all  that  I  have. 

5  And  the  messengers  came  again,  and  said.  Thus  speak- 
eth  Ben-ha'dad,  saying,  Although  I  have  sent  unto  thee, 
saying.  Thou  shalt  deliver  me  thy  silver  and  thy  gold,  and 
thy  wives,  and  thy  children; 

6  Yet  I  will  send  my  servants  unto  thee  to-morrow  about 
this  time,  and  they  shall  search  thine  house,  and  the  houses 
of  thy  servants ;  and  it  shall  be,  that  whatsoever  is  fpleas- 
ant  in  thine  eyes,  they  shall  put  it  in  their  hand,  and  take 
it  away. 

7  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  called  all' the  elders  of  the  land, 
and  said,  Mark,  I  pray  you,  and  see  how  this  man  seeketh 
mischief:  for  he  sent  unto  me  for  my  wives,  and  for  my 
children,  and  for  my  silver,  and  for  my  gold;  and  fl  denied 
him  not. 

8  And  all  the  elders  and  all  the  people  said  unto  him, 
Hearken  not  unto  him,  nor  consent. 

9  Wherefore  he  said  unto  the  messengers  of  Ben-ha'dad, 


great  and  strong  wind  rent  the  mountains,  and 
brake  in  pieces  the  rocks  before  the  Lord;  but  the 
Lord  was  not  in  the  wind :  and  after  the  wind  an 
earthquake;   but  the  Lord  was    not  in  the  earth 

12  quake :  and  after  the  earthquake  a  fire :  but  the  Lord 
was  not  in  the  fire :  and  after  the  fire  'a  still  small 

13  voice.  And  it  was  so,  when  E-li'jah  heard  it,  that  he 
wrapped  his  face  in  his  mantle,  and  went  out,  and 
stood  in  the  entering  in  of  the  cave.  And,  behold, 
there  came  a  voice  unto  him,  and  said,  What  doest 

14  thou  here,  E-li'jah  ?  And  he  said,  I  liave  been  very 
jealous  for  the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts;  for  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  have  forsaken  thy  covenant,  thrown 
down  thine  altars,  and  slain  thy  prophets  with  the 
sword;  and  I,  even  I  only,  am  left;  and  they  seek 

15  my  life,  to  take  it  away.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  Go,  return  on  thy  way  ^to  the  wilderness  of 
Da-mas'cus :  and  when  thou  comest,  thou  shalt  anoint 

16  Haz'a-el  to  be  king  over  Syr'i-a:  and  Je'hu  the  son  of 
Nim'shi  shalt  thou  anoint  to  be  king  over  Is'ra-el: 
and  E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'phat  of  A'bel-me-ho'lah 

17  shalt  thou  anoint  to  be  prophet  in  thy  room.  And 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  him  that  escapeth  from 
the  sword  of  Haz'a-el  shall  Je'hu  slay :  and  him  that 
escapeth  from  the  sword  of  Je'hu  shall  E-li'sha  slay. 

18  Yet  will  I  leave  me  seven  thousand  in  Is'ra-el,  all  the 
knees  which  have  not  bowed  unto  Ba'al,  and  every 

19  mouth  which  hath  not  kissed  him.  So  he  departed 
thence,  and  found  E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'phat,  who 
was  plowing,  with  twelve  yoke  o/  oxen  before  him, 
and  he  with  the  twelfth :  and  E-li'jah  passed  over 

20  unto  him,  and  cast  his  mantle  upon  him.  And  he 
left  the  oxen,  and  ran  after  E-li'jah,  and  said,  Let  me, 
I  pray  thee,  kiss  my  father  and  my  mother,  and  then 
I  will  follow  thee.     And  he  said  unto  him.  Go  back 

21  again;  for  what  have  I  done  to  thee?  And  he  re- 
turned from  following  him,  and  took  the  yoke  of 
oxen,  and  slew  them,  and  'boiled  their  flesh  with  the 
instruments  of  the  oxen,  and  gave  unto  the  people, 
and  they  did  eat.  Then  he  arose,  and  went  after 
E-li'jah,  and  ministered  unto  him. 

^  V  And  Ben-ha'dad  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  gathered  all  his 
boat  together:  and  there  were  thirty  and  two  kings 
with  him,  and  horses  and  chariots :  and  he  went  up 

2  and  besieged  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  fought  against  it.  And 
he  sent  messengers  to  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el,  into  the 

3  city,  and  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  Ben-ha'dad,  Thy 
silver  and  thy  gold  is  mine ;  thy  wives  also  and  thy 

4  children,  even  the  goodliest,  are  mine.  And  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el  answered  and  said.  It  is  according  to  thy 
saying,  my  lord,  O  king;  I  am  thine,  and  all  that  I 

5  have.  And  the  messengers  came  again,  and  said. 
Thus  speaketh  Ben-ha'dad,  saying,  I  sent  indeed  unto 
thee  saying.  Thou  shalt  deliver  me  thy  silver,  and  thy 

6  gold,  and  thy  wives,  and  thy  children  ;  but  I  will  send 
my  servants  unto  thee  to-morrow  about  this  time, 
and  they  shall  search  thine  house  and  the  houses  of 
thy  servants;  and  it  shall  be,  that  Whatsoever  is 
pleasant  in  thine  eyes,  they  shall  put  it  in  their  hand 

7  and  take  it  away.  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  called 
all  the  elders  of  the  land,  and  said,  Mark,  I  pray 
you,  and  see  how  this  man  seeketh  mischief:  for 
he  sent  unto  me  for  my  wives,  and  for  my  children, 
and  for  my  silver,  and  for  my  gold ;  and  I  denied 

8  him  not.     And  all  the  elders  and  all  the  people  said 

9  unto  him,  Hearken  thou  not,  neither  consent.  Where- 
fore he   said    unto   the  messengers  of  Ben-ha'dad.  |

Tell  my  lord  the  king,  All  that  thou  didst  send  for  to  thy 
servant  at  the  first  I  will  do :  but  this  thing  I  may  not  do. 
And  the  messengers  departed,  and  brought  him  word  again. 

10  And  Ben-ha'dad  sent  unto  him,  and  said,  "The  gods  do 
so  unto  me,  and  more  also,  if  the  dust  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  shall 
suffice  for  handfuls  for  all  the  people  that  tfollow  me. 

11  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  answered  and  said,  Tell  him, 
Let  not  him  that  girdeth  on  kis  harness  boast  himself  as  he 
that  putteth  it  off. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ben-ha'dad  heard  this  fmes- 
sage,  as  he  was  Mrinking,  he  and  the  kings  in  the  ||  pavilions, 
that  he  said  unto  his  servants,  ||  Set  yourselves  in  array.  And 
they  set  themselves  in  array  against  the  city. 

13  ^And,  behold,  there  fcame  a  prophet  unto  A'hab  king 
of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Hast  thou  seen  all 
this  great  multitude?  behold,  "1  will  deliver  it  into  thine 
hand  this  day;  and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

14  And  A'hab  said,  By  whom  ?  And  he  said,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Even  by  the  ||  young  men  of  the  princes  of  the 
provinces.  Then  he  said.  Who  shall  forder  the  battle  ?  And 
he  answered.  Thou. 

15  Then  he  numbered  the  young  men  of  the  princes  of 
the  provinces,  and  th,ey  were  two  hundred  and  thirty-two: 
and  after  them  he  numbered  all  the  people,  even  all  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  being  seven  thousand. 

16  And  they  went  out  at  noon.  But  Ben-ha'dad  was 
''drinking  himself  drunk  in  the  pavilions,  he  and  the  kings, 
the  thirty  and  two  kings  that  helped  him. 

17  And  the  young  men  of  the  princes  of  the  provinces 
went  out  first ;  and  Ben-ha'dad  sent  out,  and  they  told  him, 
saying.  There  are  men  come  out  of  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

18  And  he  said.  Whether  they  be  come  out  for  peace, 
take  them  alive;  or  whether  they  be  come  out  for  war, 
take  them  alive. 

19  So  these  young  men  of  the  princes  of  the  provinces 
came  out  of  the  city,  and  the  army  which  followed  them. 

20  And  they  slew  every  one  his  man :  and  the  Syr'i-ans 
fled ;  and  Is'ra-el  pursued  them :  and  Ben-ha'dad  the  king  of 
Syr'i-a  escaped  on  a  horse  with  the  horsemen. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  went  out,  and  smote  the  horses 
and  chariots,  and  slew  the  Syr'i-ans  with  a  great  slaughter. 

22  ^And  the  prophet  came  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said 
unto  him.  Go,  strengthen  thyself,  and  mark,  and  see  what 
thou  doest :  'for  at  the  return  of  the  year  the  king  of  Syr'i-a 
will  come  up  against  thee. 

23  And  the  servants  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  said  unto  him, 
Their  gods  are  gods  of  the  hills;  therefore  they  were  stronger 
than  we ;  but  let  us  fight  against  them  in  the  plain,  and  surely 
we  shall  be  stronger  than  they. 

24  And  do  this  thing,  Take  the  kings  away,  every  man 
out  of  his  place,  and  put  captains  in  their  rooms : 

25  And  number  thee  an  army,  like  the  army  fthat  thou 
hast  lost,  horse  for  horse,  and  chariot  for  chariot :  and  we 
will  fight  against  them  in  the  plain,  and  surely  we  shall  be 
stronger  than  they.  And  he  hearkened  unto  their  voice, 
and  did  so. 

26  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  return  of  the  year,  that  Ben- 
ha'dad  numbered  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  went  up  to  -^A'phek,  fto 
fight  against  Is'ra-el. 

27  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  numbered,  and  ||  were 
all  present,  and  went  against  them :  and  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  pitched  before  them  like  two  little  flocks  of  kids;  but 
the  Syr'i-ans  filled  the  country. 

28  "[[And  there  came  a  man  of  God,  and  spake  unto  the 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Because  the 
Syr  i-ans  have  said,  The  Lord  is  God  of  the  hills,  but  he  is 
not  God  of  the  valleys,  therefore  "will  I  deliver  all  this  great 
multitude  into  thine  hand,  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord. 


Tell  my  lord  the  king.  All  that  thou  didst  send 
for  to  thy  servant  at  the  first  I  will  do :  but  this 
thing  I  may  not  do.  And  the  messengers  departed, 
10 and  brought  him  word  again.  And  Ben-ha'dad 
sent  unto  him  and  said,  The  gods  do  so  unto  me, 
and  more  also,  if  the  dust  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  shall  suf- 
fice for  handfuls  for  all  the  people  that  'follow  me. 

11  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  answered  and  said.  Tell 
him.  Let  not  him  that  girdeth  on  his  ars.iour  boast 

12  himself  as  he  that  putteth  it  off.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Ben-ha'dad  heard  this  message,  as  he 
was  drinking,  he  and  the  kings,  in  the  ^pavilions, 
that  he  said  unto  his  servants,  ^Set  yourselves  in 
array.     And  they  set  themselves  in  array  against  the 

13  city.  And,  behold,  a  prophet  came  near  unto  A'hab 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Hast 
thou  seen  all  this  great  multitude?  behold,  I  will 
deliver  it  into  thine  hand  this  day ;  and  thou  shalt 

14  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  And  A'hab  said.  By 
whom?  And  he  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  By  the 
^young  men  of  the  princes  of  the  provinces.  Then 
he  said,  Who  shall  ^begin  the  battle?     And  he  an 

15swered,  Thou.     Then  he  mustered  the  young  men  of 
the  princes  of  the  provinces,  and  they  were  two  hun 
dred  and  thirty  two :    and  after  them  he  mustered 
all  the  people,  even  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  being 

16  seven  thousand.     And  they  went  out  at  noon.     But 
Ben-ha'dad  was  drinking  himself  drunk  in  the  ^pavil 
ions,  he  and  the  kings,  the  thirty  and  two  kings  that 

17  helped  him.  And  the  young  men  of  the  princes  of 
the  provinces  went  out  first;  and  Ben-ha'dad  sent 
out,  and  they  told  him,  saying.  There  are  men  come 

18  out  from  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And  he  said.  Whether  they  be 
come  out  for  peace,  take  them  alive;    or  whether 

19  they  be  come  out  for  war,  take  them  alive.  So  these 
went  out  of  the  city,  the  young  men  of  the  princes 
of  the  provinces,  and  the  army  which  followed  them 

20  And  they  slew  every  one  his  man ;  and  the  Syr'i-ans 
fled,  and  Is'ra-el  pursued  them :  and  Ben-ha'dad  the 
king  of  Syr'i-a  escaped  ^on  an  horse  with  horsemen. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  went  out,  and  smote  the  horses 
and  chariots,  and  slew  the  Syr'i-ans  with  a  great 

22  slaughter.  And  the  prophet  came  near  to  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  said  unto  him,  Go  strengthen  thyself, 
and  mark,  and  see  what  thou  doest :  for  at  the  return 
of  the  year  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  will  come  up  against  thee, 

23  And  the  servants  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  said  unto 
him.  Their  god  is  a  god  of  the  hills ;  therefore  they 
were  stronger  than  we :  but  let  us  fight  against  them 
in  the  plain,  and  surely  we  shall  be   stronger  than 

24 they.  And  do  this  thing;  take  the  kings  away, 
every  man  out  of  his  place,  and  put  ^captains  in  their 

25  room :  and  number  thee  an  army,  like  the  army  that 
thou  hast  lost,  horse  for  horse,  and  chariot  for  char- 
iot :  and  we  will  fight  against  them  in  the  plain, 
and  surely  we  shall  be  stronger  than  they.     And 

26  he  hearkened  unto  their  voice,  and  did  so.  And  it 
came  to  pass  at  the  return  of  the  year,  that  Ben- 
ha'dad  mustered  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  went  up  to  A'phek, 

27  to  fight  against  Is'ra-el.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
were  mustered,  and  were  victualled,  and  went  against 
them :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  encamped  before 
them  like  two  little  flocks  of  kids ;  but  the  Syr'i-ans 

28  filled  the  country.  And  "a  man  of  God  came  near  and 
spake  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Because  the  Syr'i-ans  have  said,  The  Lord 
is  a  god  of  the  hills,  but  he  is  not  a  god  of  the  valleys ; 
therefore  will  I  deliver  all  this  great  multitude  into 
thine  hand,  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.

29  And  they  pitched  one  over  against  the  other  seven 
days.  And  so  it  was,  that  in  the  seventh  day  the  battle  was 
joined :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  slew  of  the  Syr'i-ans  a 
hundred  thousand  footmen  in  one  day. 

30  But  the  rest  fled  to  A'phek,  into  the  city ;  and  there  a 
wall  fell  upon  twenty  and  seven  thousand  of  the  men  that 
were  left.  And  Ben-ha'dad  fled,  and  came  into  the  city, 
llfinto  an  inner  chamber. 

31  XAod  his  servants  said  unto  him.  Behold  now,  we  have 
heard  that  the  kings  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  are  merciful 
kings :  let  us,  I  pray  thee,  'put  sackcloth  on  our  loins,  and 
ropes  upon  our  heads,  and  go  out  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el: 
peradventure  he  will  save  thy  life. 

32  So  they  girded  sackcloth  on  their  loins,  and  put  ropes 
on  their  heads,  and  came  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said, 
Thy  servant  Ben-ha'dad  saith,  I  pray  thee,  let  me  live.  And 
he  said.  Is  he  yet  alive  7  he  is  my  brother. 

33  Now  the  men  did  diligently  observe  whether  any  thing 
would  come  from  him,  and  did  hastily  catch  it :  and  they 
said,  Thy  brother  Ben-ha'dad.  Then  he  said,  Go  ye,  bring 
him.  Then  Ben-ha'dad  came  forth  to  him  ;  and  he  caused 
him  to  come  up  into  the  chariot. 

34  And  Ben-ha'dad  said  unto  him,  'The  cities  which  my 
fether  took  from  thy  father,  I  will  restore ;  and  thou  shalt 
make  streets  for  thee  in  Da-mas'cus,  as  my  father  made  in 
Sa-ma'ri-a.  Then  said  A'hab,  I  will  send  thee  away  with 
this  covenant.  So  he  made  a  covenant  with  him,  and  sent 
him  away. 

35  ^And  a  certain  man  of  *the  sons  of  the  prophets  said 
unto  his  neighbour  'in  the  word  of  the  Lord,  Smite  me,  I 
pray  thee.     And  the  man  refused  to  smite  him. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  him.  Because  thou  hast  not  obeyed 
the  voice  of  the  Loed,  behold,  as  soon  as  thou  art  departed 
from  me,  a  lion  shall  slay  thee.  And  as  soon  as  he  was 
departed  from  him,  "a  lion  found  him,  and  slew  him. 

37  Then  he  found  another  man,  and  said,  Smite  me,  I  pray 
thee.  And  the  man  smote  him,  fso  that  in  smiting  he 
wounded  him. 

38  So  the  prophet  departed,  and  waited  for  the  king  by 
the  way,  and  disguised  himself  with  ashes  upon  his  face. 

39  And  "as  the  king  passed  by,  he  cried  unto  the  king : 
and  he  said,  Thy  servant  went  out  into  the  midst  of  the 
battle ;  and,  behold,  a  man  turned  aside,  and  brought  a  man 
unto  me,  and  said.  Keep  this  man:  if  by  any  means  he  be 
missing,  then  "shall  thy  life  be  for  his  life,  or  else  thou  shalt 
tpay  a  talent  of  silver. 

40  And  as  thy  servant  was  busy  here  and  there,  fhe  was 
gone.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  him.  So  shall  thy 
judgment  be  ;  thyself  hast  decided  ii. 

41  And  he  hasted,  and  took  the  ashes  away  from  his  face  ; 
and  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  discerned  him  that  he  was  of  the 
prophets. 

42  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  "Because 
thou  hast  let  go  out  of  thy  hand  a  man  whom  I  appointed 
to  utter  destruction,  therefore  thy  life  shall  go  for  his  life, 
and  thy  people  for  his  people. 

43  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  «went  to  his  house  heavy  and 
displeased,  and  came  to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

Elijah  denounceth  judgments  against  Ahab  and  Jezebel. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  Na'both  the 
Jez're-el-ite  had  a  vineyard,  which  was  in  Jez're-el,  hard 
by  the  palace  of  A'hab  king  of  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

2  And  A'hab  spake  unto  Na'both,  saying.  Give  me  thy 
"vineyard,  that  I  may  have  it  for  a  garden  of  herbs,  because 
it  is  near  unto  my  house :  and  I  will  give  thee  for  it  a  better 
vineyard  than  it ;  or  if  it  fseem  good  to  thee,  I  will  give 
thee  the  worth  of  it  in  money. 


29  And  they  encamped  one  over  against  the  other  seven 
days.  And  so  it  was,  that  in  the  seventh  day  the 
battle  was  joined ;  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  slew  of 
the  Syr'i-ans  an  hundred  thousand  footmen  in  one 

30  day.  But  the  rest  fled  to  A'phek,  into  the  city ;  and 
the  wall  fell  upon  twenty  and  seven  thousand  men 
that  were  left.     And  Ben-ha'dad  fled  and  came  into 

31  the  city,  Hnto  an  inner  chamber.  And  his  servants 
said  unto  him.  Behold  now,  we  have  heard  that  the 
kings  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  are  merciful  kings :  let 
us,  we  pray  thee,  put  sackcloth  on  our  loins,  and 
ropes  upon  our  heads,  and  go  out  to  the  king  of  Is'- 

32  ra-el :  peradventure  he  will  save  thy  life.  So  they 
girded  sackcloth  on  their  loins,  and  iput  ropes  on  their 
heads,  and  came  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  said, 
Thy  servant,  Ben-ha'dad  saith,  I  pray  thee,  let  me 
live.     And  he  said,  Is  he  yet  alive  ?  he  is  my  brother, 

33  Now  the  men  ^observed  diligently,  and  hasted  Ho 
catch  whether  it  were  ^his  mind ;  and  they  said. 
Thy  brother  Ben-ha'dad.  Then  he  said.  Go  ye, 
bring  him.  Then  Ben-ha'dad  came  forth  to  him; 
and    he  caused   him    to    come  up    into  the   chariot. 

34  And  Ben-ha'dad  said  unto  him.  The  cities  which 
my  father  took  from  thy  father  I  will  restore ;  and 
thou  shalt  make  streets  for  thee  in  Da-mas'cus,  as 
my  father  made  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And  I,  said  A'hab,  will 
let  thee  go  with  this  covenant.  So  he  made  a  cove- 
nant with  him,  and  let  him  go 

35  And  a  certain  man  of  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
said  unto  his  fellow  by  the  word  of  the  Lord,  Smite 
me,  I  pray  thee.      And  the  man  refused  to  smite 

36  him.  Then  said  he  unto  him.  Because  thou  hast 
not  obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  behold,  as  soon 
as  thou  art  departed  from  me,  a  lion  shall  slay  thee. 
And  as  soon  as  he  was  departed  from  him,  a  lion 

37  found  him,  and  slew  him.  Then  he  found  another 
man,  and   said.  Smite   me,  I  pray  thee.      And  the 

38  man  smote  him,  smiting  and  wounding  him.  So 
the  prophet  departed,  and  waited  for  the  king  by 
the  way,  and  disguised  himself  with  his  headband 

39  over  his  eyes.  And  as  the  king  passed  by,  he  cried 
unto  the  king :  and  he  said.  Thy  servant  went  out 
into  the  midst  of  the  battle;  and,  behold,  a  man 
turned  aside,  and  brought  a  man  unto  me,  and 
said.  Keep  this  man :  if  by  any  means  he  be  miss- 
ing, then  shall  thy  life  be  for  his  life,  or  else  thou 

40  shalt  pay  a  talent  of  silver.  And  as  thy  servant 
was  busy  here  and  there,  he  was  gone.  And  the 
king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  him,  So  shall  thy  judge- 

41  ment  be  ;  thyself  hast  decided  it.  And  he  hasted, 
and  took  the  headband  away  from  his  eyes ;  and 
the  king  of  Is'ra-el  discerned  him  that  he  was  of 

42  the  prophets.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Because  thou  hast  let  go  out  of  thy 
hand  the  man  whom  I  had  devoted  to  destruc- 
tion,  therefore  thy  life  shall  go   for  his  life,  and 

43  thy  people  for  his  people.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
went  to  his  house  heavy  and  displeased,  and  came 
to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

1^  +  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these  things,  that  Na'both 
the  Jez're-el-ite  had  a  vineyard,  which  was  in  Jez're-el, 
2  hard  by  the  palace  of  A'hab  king  of  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And 
A'hab  spake  unto  Na'both,  saying.  Give  me  thy  vine- 
yard, that  I  may  have  it  for  a  garden  of  herbs,  be- 
cause it  is  near  unto  my  house ;  and  I  will  give  thee 
for  it  a  better  vineyard  than  it :  or,  if  it  seem  good 
to  thee,  I  will  give  thee  the  worth  of  it  in  money.

3  And  Na'both  said  to  A'hab,  The  Lord  forbid  it  me, 
Hhat  I  should  give  the  inheritance  of  my  fathers  unto  thee. 

4  And  A'hab  came  into  his  house  heavy  and  displeased  be- 
cause of  the  word  which  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite  had  spoken 
to  him :  for  he  had  said,  I  will  not  give  thee  the  inheritance 
of  my  fathers.  And  he  laid  him  down  upon  his  bed,  and 
turned  away  his  face,  and  would  eat  no  bread. 

5  ^But  Jez'e-bel  his  wife  came  to  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Why  is  thy  spirit  so  sad,  that  thou  eatest  no  bread  ? 

6  And  he  said  unto  her,  Because  I  spake  unto  Na'both  the 
Jez're-el-ite,  and  said  unto  him.  Give  me  thy  vineyard  for 
money;  or  else,  if  it  please  thee,  I  will  give  thee  another 
vineyard  for  it:  and  he  answered,  I  will  not  give  thee  my 
vineyard. 

7  And  Jez'e-bel  his  wife  said  unto  him.  Dost  thou  now 
govern  the  kingdom  of  Is'ra-el?  arise,  and  eat  bread,  and 
let  thine  heart  be  merry :  I  will  give  thee  the  vineyard  of 
Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite. 

8  So  she  wrote  letters  in  A'hab's  name,  and  sealed  them 
with  his  seal,  and  sent  the  letters  unto  the  elders  and  to  the 
nobles  that  were  in  his  city,  dwelling  with  Na'both. 

9  And  she  wrote  in  the  letters,  saying.  Proclaim  a  fast,  and 
set  Na'both  f  on  high  among  the  people : 

10  And  set  two  men,  sons  of  Be'li-al,  before  him,  to  bear 
witness  against  him,  saying.  Thou  didst  "blaspheme  God  and 
the  king.  And  then  carry  him  out  and  ''stone  him,  that  he 
may  die. 

11  And  the  men  of  his  city,  even  the  elders  and  the  nobles 
who  were  the  inhabitants  in  his  city,  did  as  Jez'e-bel  had 
sent  unto  them,  and  as  it  was  written  in  the  letters  which 
she  had  sent  unto  them. 

12  'They  proclaimed  a  fast,  and  set  Na'both  on  high  among 
the  people. 

13  And  there  came  in  two  men,  children  of  Be'li-al,  and 
sat  before  him:  and  the  men  of  Be'li-al  witnessed  against 
him,  even  against  Na'both,  in  the  presence  of  the  people, 
saying,  Na'both  did  blaspheme  God  and  the  king.  -^Then 
they  carried  him  forth  out  of  the  city,  and  stoned  him  with 
stones,  that  he  died. 

14  Then  they  sent  to  Jez'e-bel,  saying,  Na'both  is  stoned, 
and  is  dead. 

15  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jez'e-bel  heard  that 
Na'both  was  stoned,  and  was  dead,  that  Jez'e-bel  said  to 
A'hab,  Arise,  take  possession  of  the  vineyard  of  Na'both  the 
Jez're-el-ite,  which  he  refused  to  give  thee  for  money:  for 
Na'both  is  not  alive,  but  dead. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  A'hab  heard  that  Na'both 
was  dead,  that  A'hab  rose  up  to  go  down  to  the  vineyard  of 
Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite,  to  take  possession  of  it. , 

17  ^"And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  E-li'jah  the  Tish'- 
bite,  saying, 

18  Arise,  go  down  to  meet  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el,  ''which 
*s  in  Sa-ma  ri-a :  behold,  he  is  in  the  vineyard  of  Na'both, 
whither  he  is  gone  down  to  possess  it. 

19  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto  him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Hast  thou  killed,  and  also  taken  possession?  And 
thou  shalt  speak  unto  him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  'In 
the  place  where  dogs  licked  the  blood  of  Na'both  shall  dogs 
lick  thy  blood,  even  thine. 

20  And  A'hab  said  to  E-li'jah,  *Hast  thou  found  me,  O 
mine  enemy?  And  he  answered,  I  have  found  thee:  be- 
cause 'thou  hast  sold  thyself  to  work  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord. 

21  Behold,  "I  will  bring  evil  upon  thee,  and  will  take 
away  thy  posterity,  and  will  cut  off  from  A'hab  "him  that 
pisseth  against  the  wall,  and  "him  that  is  shut  up  and  left 
m  Is'ra-el. 

22  And  will  make  thine  house  like  the  house  of  "Jer-o-bo'am 
the  son  of  Ne'bat,  and  like  the  house  of  'Ba'a-sha  the  son 


3  And  Na'both  said  to  A'hab,  The  Lord  forbid  it  me, 
that  I  should  give   the   inheritance   of  my   fathers 

4  unto  thee.  And  A'hab  came  into  his  house  heavy 
and  displeased  because  of  the  word  which  Na'both 
the  Jez're-el-ite  had  spoken  to  him :  for  he  had  said, 
I  will  not  give  thee  the  inheritance  of  my  fathers. 
And  he   laid  him  down  upon  his  bed,  and  turned 

5  away  his  face,  and  would  eat  no  bread.  But  Jez'e-bel 
his  wife  came  to  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Why  is  thy 

6 spirit  so  sad,  that  thou  eatest  no  bread?  And  he 
said  unto  her.  Because  I  spake  unto  Na'both  the 
Jez're-el-ite,  and  said  unto  him.  Give  me  thy  vine 
yard  for  money ;  or  else,  if  it  please  thee,  I  will  give 
thee  another  vineyard  for  it:    and  he  answered,  I 

7  will  not  give  thee  my  vineyard.  And  Jez'e-bel  his 
wife  said  unto  him,  Dost  thou  now  govern  the 
kingdom  of  Is'ra-el?  arise,  and  eat  bread,  and  let 
thine  heart  be  merry:    I  will  give  thee  the  vine- 

8  yard  of  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite.  So  she  wrote 
'letters  in  A'hab's  name,  and  sealed  them  with  his 
seal,  and  sent  the  letters  unto  the  elders  and  to  the 
nobles  that  were  in  his  city,  and  that  dwelt  with 

9  Na'both.  And  she  Avrote  in  the  letters,  saying,  Pro 
claim  a  fast,  and   set   Na'both  ^on  high  among  the 

10 people:  and  set  two  men,  sons  of  'Be'li-al,  before 
him,  and  let  them  bear  witness  against  him,  saying, 
Thou  didst  'curse   God   and   the   king.     And  then 

11  carry  him  out,  and  stone  him,  that  he  die.  And  the 
men  of  his  city,  even  the  elders  and  the  nobles  who 
dwelt  in  his  city,  did  as  Jez'e-bel  had  sent  unto 
them,  according  as  it  was  written  in  the  letters  which 

12  she  had  sent  unto  them.     They  proclaimed  a  fast, 

13  and  set  Na'both  ^on  high  among  the  people.  And 
the  two  men,  sons  of  Be'li-al,  came  in  and  sat  be- 

■  fore  him:  and  the  men  of  Be'li-al  bare  witnoss 
against  him,  even  against  Na'both,  in  the  presence 
of  the  people,  saying,  Na'both  did  'curse  God  and 
the  king.     Then  they  carried  him  forth  out  of  the 

14  city,  and  stoned  him  with  stones,  that  he  died.  Then 
they  sent  to  Jez'e-bel,  saying,  Na'both  is  stoned,  and 

15  is  dead.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jez'e-bel  heard 
that  Na'both  was  stoned,  and  was  dead,  that  Jez'e-bel 
said  to  A'hab,  Arise,  take  possession  of  the  vine- 
yard of  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite,  which  he  refused 
to  give  thee  for  money:   for   Na'both  is  not  alive, 

16  but  dead.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  A'hab  heard 
that  Na'both  was  dead,  that  A'hab  rose  up  to  go 
down  to  the  vineyard  of  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite, 
to  take  possession  of  it. 

17  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  E-li'jah  the 
ISTish'bite,  saying.  Arise,  go  down  to  meet  A'hab  king 

of  Is'ra-el,  which  dwelleth  in  Sa-ma' ri-a :  behold,  he 
is  in  the  vineyard  of  Na'both,  whither  he  is  gone 

19  down  to  take  possession  of  it.  And  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  him,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Hast  thou 
killed,  and  also  taken  possession?  and  thou  shalt 
speak  unto  him,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In  the 
place  where  dogs  licked  the  blood  of  Na'both  shall 

20  dogs  lick  thy  blood,  even  thine.  And  A'hab  said  to 
E-li'jah,  Hast  thou  found  me,  O  mine  enemy?  And 
he  answered,  I  have  found  thee:  because  thou  hast 
sold  thyself  to  do  that  which  is  evil  in  the  sight  of 

21  the  Lord.  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon  thee,  and 
will  utterly  sweep  thee  away,  and  will  cut  off  from 
A'hab  every  man  child,  and  him  that  is  shut  up  and 

22 him  that  is  left  at  large  in  Is'ra-el:  and  I  will  make 
thine  house  like  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son 
of  Ne'bat,  and  like  the  house  of  Ba'a-sha  the  son

2.3  And  'of  Jez'e-bel  also  spake  the  Lord,  saying,  The  dogs 
shall  eat  Jez'e-bel  by  the  ||  wall  of  Jez're-el. 

24  'Him  that  dieth  of  A'hab  in  the  city  the  dogs  shall  eat; 
and  him  that  dieA  in  the  field  shall  the  fowls  of  the  air  eat.

himself  to  work  wickedness  in  the  sight  of  the  LoED,

out  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.

that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  "put  sackcloth  upon  his  flesh, 
and  fasted,  and  lay  in  sackcloth,  and  went  softly. 

28  And  the  word  of  the  Lokd  came  to  E-li'jah  the  Tish'bite,

because  he  humbleth  himself  before  me,  I  will  not  bring 
the  evil  in  his  days :  but  'in  his  son's  days  will  I  bring  the 
evil  upon  his  house. 

CHAPTKR   XXII. 

Ahab,  seduced  by  false  prophets,  is  slain  at  Ramoth'gilead. 

AND  they  continued  three  years  without  war  between 
Syr'i-a  and  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  third  year,  that  "Je-hosh'a-phat 
the  king  of  Ju'dah  came  down  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

3  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  his  servants,  Know  ye 
that  'Ra'moth  in  Gil'e-ad  is  ours,  and  we  be  fstill,  and  take 
it  not  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  ? 

4  And  he  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Wilt  thou  go  with  me 
to  battle  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  ?  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said  to  the 
king  of  Is'ra-eJ,  "I  am  as  thou  art,  my  people  as  thy  people, 
my  horses  as  thy  horses. 

5  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  Inquire, 
I  pray  thee,  at  the  word  of  the  Lord  to-day. 

6  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  ''gathered  the  prophets  together, 
about  four  hundred  men  and  said  unto  them,  Shall  I  go 
against  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or  shall  I  forbear?  And 
they  said.  Go  up ;  for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into  the 
hand  of  the  king. 

7  And  'Je-hosh'a-phat  said,  Is  there  not  here  a  prophet  of 
the  Lord  besides,  that  we  might  inquire  of  him? 

8  And  the  king  of  I.s'ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,  There  is 
yet  one  man,  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of  Im'lah,  by  whom  we  may 
inquire  of  the  Lord  :  but  I  hate  him ;  for  he  doth  not 
prophesy  good  concerning  me,  but  evil.  And  Je-hosh'a-phat 
said.  Let  not  the  king  say  so. 

9  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  called  an  ||  officer,  and  said. 
Hasten  hither  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of  Im'lah. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  .sat  each  on  his  throne,  having  put  on  their  robes,  in 
a  fvoid  place  in  the  entrance  of  the  gate  of  8a-ma'ri-a ;  and 
all  the  prophets  prophesied  before  them. 

1 1  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Che-na'a-nah  made  him  horns 
of  iron :  and  he  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  With  these  shalt 
thou  push  the  Syr'i-ans,  until  thou  have  consumed  them. 

12  And  all  the  prophets  prophesied  so,  saying.  Go  up  to 
Ra'moth-gil'e-ad,  and  prosper :  for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it 
into  the  king's  hand. 

13  And  the  messenger  that  was  gone  to  call  Mi-ca'iah 
spake  unto  him,  saying.  Behold  now,  the  words  of  the 
prophets  declare  good  unto  the  king  with  one  mouth :  let 
thy  word,  I  pray  thee,  be  like  the  word  of  one  of  them,  and 
speak  that  which  is  good. 

14  And  Mi-ca'iah  said,  As  the  Lord  liveth,-'^what  the  Lord 
saith  imto  me,  that  will  I  speak. 

15  ^So  he  came  to  the  king.  And  the  king  said  unto 
him,  Mi-ca'iah  shall  we  go  against  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle. 


of  A-hi'jah,  for  the  provocation  wherewith  thou  hast 
provoked  me  to  anger,  and  hast  made  Is'ra-el  to 

23  sin.  And  of  Jez'e-bel  also  spake  the  Lord,  saying. 
The  dogs  shall  eat  Je/e-bel  'by  the  rampart  of  Jez- 

24  re-el.  Him  that  dieth  of  A'hab  in  the  city  the  dogs 
shall  eat;  and  him  that  dieth  in  the  field  shall  the 

25  fowls  of  the  air  eat.  (But  there  was  none  like  un- 
to A'hab,  which  did  sell  himself  to  do  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  whom  Jez'e-bel  his 

26  wife  stirred  up.  And  he  did  very  abominably  in  fol- 
lowing idols,  according  to  all  that  the  Am'o-rites  did 
whom  the  Lord   cast   out  before  the  children  of 

27  Is'ra-el.)  And  it  came  to  pass  when  A'hab  heard 
those  words,  that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  put  sack- 
cloth  upon    his  flesh,  and   fasted,  and  lay  in  sack- 

28  cloth,  and  went  softly.     And  the  word  of  the  Lord 

29  came  to  E-li'jah  the  Tish'bite,  saying,  seest  thou  how 
A'hab  humbleth  himself  before  me?  because  he  hum- 
bleth himself  before  me,- 1  will  not  bring  the  evil  in 
his  days :  but  in  his  son's  days  will  I  bring  the  evil 
upon  his  house. 

^^    And  they  continued  three  years  without  war  be- 

2  tween  Syr'i-a  and  Is'ra-el.  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
third  year,  that  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Ju'dah  came 

3  down  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
said  unto  his  servants.  Know  ye  that  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad 
is  ours,  and  we  'be  still,  and  take  it  not  out  of  the 

4  hand  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a?  And  he  said  unto  Je- 
hosh'a-phat,  Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to  battle  to  Ra- 
moth-gil'e-ad  ?  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said  to  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el,  I  am  as  thou  art,  my  people  as  thy  people, 

5  my  horses  as  thy  horses.  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said 
unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  Inquire,  I  pray  thee,  at  the 

6  word  of  the  Lord  to-day.  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
gathered  the  prophets  together,  about  four  hundred 
men,  and  said  unto  them.  Shall  I  go  against  Ra'moth- 
gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or  shall  I  forbear?  And  they  said. 
Go  up ;  for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into  the  hand 

7  of  the  king.  But  Je-hosh'a-phat  said.  Is  there  not 
here  besides  a  prophet  of  the  Lord,  that  we  might 

8  inquire  of  him  ?  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto 
Je-hosh'a-phat,  There  is  yet  one  man  by  whom  we 
may  inquire  of  the  Lord,  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of  Im'lah : 
but  I  hate  him  :  for  he  doth  not  prophesy  good  con- 
cerning me,  but  evil.     And  Je-hosh'a-phat,  said.  Let 

9  not  the  king  say  so.  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  called 
an  ^officer,  and  said.  Fetch  quickly  Mi-ca'iah  the  son 

lOof  Im'lah.  Now  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat 
the  king  of  Ju'dah  sat  each  on  his  throne,  arrayed 
in  their  robes,  in  'an  open  place  at  the  entrance  of 
the  gate  of  Sa-ma'ria ;  and  all  the  prophets  prophe- 

llsied  before  them.  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Che- 
na'a-nah  made  him  horns  of  iron,  and  said,  Thus 
saith   the  Lord,  With  these   shalt  thou  push  the 

12  Syr'i-ans,  until  they  be  consumed.  And  all  the 
prophets  prophesied  so,  saying.  Go  up  to  Ra'moth- 
gil'e-ad,  and  prosper :  for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it 

13  into  the  hand  of  the  king.  And  the  messenger  that 
went  to  call  Mi-ca'iah  spake  unto  him,  saying.  Behold 
now,  the  words  of  the  prophets  declare  good  unto 
the  king  with  one  mouth  :  let  thy  word,  I  pray  thee, 
be   like  the  word  of  one  of  them,  and  speak  thou 

14 good.     And  Mi-ca'iah  said,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  what 

15  the  Lord  saith  unto  me,  that  will  I  speak.  And  when 

he  was  come   to  the  king,  the  king  said  unto  him, 

Mi-ca'iah,  shall  we  go  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle.

or  shall  we  forbear  ?     And  he  answered  him,  Go,  and  pros- 
per :  for  the  Loed  shall  deliver  it  into  the  hand  of  the  king. 

16  And  the  king  said  unto  him,  How  many  times  shall  I 
adjure  thee  that  thou  tell  me  nothing  but  that  which  is  true 
in  the  name  of  the  LoKD  ? 

17  And  he  said,  I  saw  all  Is'ra-el  "scattered  upon  the  hills, 
as  sheep  that  have  not  a  shepherd:  and  the  Lohd  said, 
These  have  no  master:  let  them  return  every  man  to  his 
house  in  peace. 

18  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Did  I 
not  tell  thee  that"  he  would  prophesy  no  good  concerning 
me,  but  evil  ? 

19  And  he  said.  Hear  thou  therefore  the  word  of  the  Lord  : 
'I  saw  the  Lord  sitting  on  his  throne,  'and  all  the  host  of 
heaven  standing  by  him  on  his  right  hand  and  on  his  left. 

20  And  the  Lord  said.  Who  shall  ||  persuade  A'hab,  that 
he  may  go  up  and  fall  at  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  ?  And  one  said 
on  this  manner,  and  another  said  on  that  manner. 

21  And  there  came  fortL  a  spirit,  and  stood  before  the 
Lord,  and  said,  I  will  persuade  him. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Wherewith  ?  And  he 
said,  I  will  go  forth,  and  I  will  be  a  lying  spirit  in  the  mouth 
of  ail  his  prophets.  And  he  said,  'Thou  shalt  persuade  him, 
and  prevail  also :  go  forth,  and  do  so. 

23  'Now  therefore,  behold,  the  Lord  hath  put  a  lying 
spirit  in  the  mouth  of  all  these  thy  prophets,  and  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  evil  concerning  thee. 

24  But  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Che-na'a-nah  went  near,  and 
smote  Mi-ca'iah  on  the  cheek,  and  said,  "Which  way  went 
the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  from  me  to  speak  unto  thee  ? 

25  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  Behold,  thou  shalt  see  in  that  day, 
when  thou  shalt  go  ||  into  fan  inner  chamber  to  hide  thyself. 

26  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said.  Take  Mi-ca'iah,  and  carry 
him  back  unto  A'mon  the  governor  of  the  city,  and  to  Jo'ash 
the  king's  son; 

27  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  king.  Put  this  fellow  in  the 
prison,  and  feed  him  with  bread  of  affliction  and  with  water 
of  affliction,  until  I  come  in  peace. 

28  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  If  thou  return  at  all  in  peace,  "the 
Lord  hath  not  spoken  by  me.  And  he  said,  Hearken,  O 
people,  every  one  of  you. 

29  So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  went  up  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

30  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,  ||  I  will 
disguise  myself,  and  enter  into  the  battle ;  but  put  thou  on 
thy  robes.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  "disguised  himself,  and 
went  into  the  battle. 

31  But  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  commanded  his  thirty  and  two 
captains  that  had  rule  over  his  chariots,  saying,  Fight  neither 
with  small  nor  great,  save  only  with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  captains  of  the  chariots 
saw  Je-hosh'a-phat,  that  they  said.  Surely  it  is  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el.  And  they  turned  aside  to  fight  against  him :  and 
Je-hosh'a-phat  "cried  out. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  captains  of  the  chariots 
perceived  that  it  was  not  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  turned 
back  from  pursuing  him. 

34  And  a  certain  man  drew  a  bow  fat  a  venture,  and 
smote  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  between  the  fjoints  of  the  harness : 
wherefore  he  said  unto  the  driver  of  his  chariot,  Turn  thine 
hand,  and  carry  me  out  of  the  host ;  for  I  am  fwounded. 

35  And  the  battle  fincreased  thatday:  and  the  king  was  stayed 
up  in  his  chariot  against  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  died  at  even :  and 
the  blood  ran  out  of  the  wound  into  the  fmidst  of  the  chariot. 

36  And  there  went  a  proclamation  throughout  the  host 
about  the  going  down  of  the  sun,  saying.  Every  man  to  his 
city  and  every  man  to  his  own  country. 

37  ^So  the  king  died,  and  fwas  brought  to  Sa-ma'ri-a;  and 
they  buried  the  King  in  Sa-ma'ri-a- 


or  shall  we  forbear?  And  he  answered  him.  Go 
up,  and  prosper ;  and  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it  into 

16  the  hand  of  the  king.  And  the  king  said  unto 
him,  How  many  times  shall  I  adjure  thee  that 
thou  speak   unto  me    nothing  but  th^   truth  in  the 

17 name  of  the  Lord?  And  he  said,  I  saw  all  Is'- 
ra-el scattered  upon  the  mountains,  as  sheep  that 
have  no  shepherd :  and  the  Lord  said,  These  have 
no  master;  let  them  return  every  man  to  his  house 

18  in  peace.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  to  Je-hosh'- 
a-phat,  Did  I    not    tell    thee   that    he    would   not 

19 prophesy  good  concerning  me,  but  evil?  And  he 
said.  Therefore  hear  thou  the  word  of  the  Lord  : 
I  saw  the  Lord  sitting  on  his  throne,  and  all  the 
host  of  heaven   standing  by  him  on  his  right  hand 

20  and  on  his  left.  And  the  Lord  said,  Who  shall  'en- 
tice A'hab,  that  he  may  go  up  and  fall  at  Ea'moth- 
gil'e-ad  ?     And  one  said  on  this  manner ;  and  another 

21  said  on  that  manner.  And  there  came  forth  ^a  spirit, 
and  stood  before  the  Lord,  and  said,  I  will  entice 

22 him.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Wherewith? 
And  he  said,  I  will  go  forth,  and  will  be  a  lying 
spirit  in  the  mouth  of  all  his  prophets.  And  he 
said.  Thou  shalt  entice  him,  and  shalt  prevail  also: 

23  go  forth,  and  do  so.  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  hath  put  a  lying  spirit  in  the  mouth  of  all 
these  thy  prophets;  and  the  Lord  hath  spoken  evil 

24  concerning  thee.  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Che- 
na'a-nah  came  near  and  smote  Mi-ca'iah  on  the  cheek, 
and  said.  Which  way  went  the  spirit  of  the  Lord 

25  from  me  to  speak  unto  thee  ?  And  Mi-ca'iah  said, 
Behold,  thou  shalt  see  on  that  day,  when  thou  shalt 

26  go  Hnto  an  inner  chamber  to  hide  thyself.  And  the 
king  of  Is'ra-el  said,  Take  Mi-ca'iah,  and  carry  him 
back  unto  A'mon  the  governor  of  the  city,  and  to 

27  Jo'ash  the  king's  son ;  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  king, 
Put  this  fellow  in  prison,  and  feed  him  with  bread 
of  affliction  and  with  water  of  affliction,  until  I  come 

28  in  peace.  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  If  thou  return  at  all  in 
peace,  the  Lord  hath  not  spoken  by  me.  And  he 
said,  *Hear,  ye  peoples,  all  of  you. 

29  So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of 

30  Ju'dah  went  up  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad.  And  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,I  will  disguise  myself, 
and  go  into  the  battle;  but  put  thou  on  thy  robes, 
And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  disguised  himself,  and  went 

31  into  the  battle.  Now  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  had  com^ 
manded  the  thirty  and  two  captains  of  his  chariots, 
saying.  Fight  neither  with  small  nor  great,  save  only 

32  with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  captains  of  the  chariots  saw  Je-hosh'a-phat,  that 
they  said.  Surely  it  is  the  king  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  they 
turned  aside  to  fight  against  him :  and  Je-hosh'a-phat 

33  cried  out.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  capteins 
of  the  chariots  saw  that  it  was  not  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  they  turned  back  from  pursuing  him. 

34  And  a  certain  man  drew  his  bow  'at  a  venture,  and 
smote  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  between  the  joints  of  the 
harness :  wherefore  he  said  unto  the  driver  of  his 
chariot.  Turn  thine  hand,  and  carry  me  out  of  the 

35 host;  for  I  am  sore  wounded.  And  the  battle  in- 
creased that  day :  and  the  king  was  stayed  up 
in  his  chariot  against  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  died  at 
even :  and  the   blood   ran  out  of  the   wound  into 

36  the  bottom  of  the  chariot.  And  there  went  a  cry 
throughout  the  host  about  the  going  down  of  the 
sun,  saying,  Every  man  to  his  city,  and  every  man 

37  to  his  country.  So  the  king  died,  and  was  brought 
to  Sa-ma'ri-a;  and  they  buried  the  king  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.

38  And  one  washed  the  chariot  in  the  pool  of  Sa-ma'ri-a ; 
and  the  dogs  licked  up  his  blood ;  and  they  washed  his 
armour;  according  'unto  the  word  of  the  Lord  which  he 
spake. 

39  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  A'hab,  and  all  that  he  did, 
and  ''the  ivory  house  which  he  made,  and  all  the  cities  that 
he  built,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

40  So  A'hab  slept  with  his  fathers ;  and  A-ha-zi'ah  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

41  ^And  'Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  A'sa  began  to  reign  over 
Ju'dan  in  the  fourth  year  of  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

42  Je-hosph'a-phat  was  thirty  and  five  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  twenty  and  five  years  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  mother's  name  was  A-zu'bah  the 
daughter  of  Shil'hi. 

43  And  'he  walked  in  all  the  ways  of  A'sa  his  father;  he 
turned  not  aside  from  it,  doing  that  which  was  right  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord  :  nevertheless  "the  high  places  were  not 
taken  away ;  foi'  the  people  offered  and  burnt  incense  yet 
in  the  high  places. 

44  And  ■'Je-hosh'a-phat  made  peace  with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

45  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-hosh'a-phat,  and  his  might 
that  he  shewed,  and  how  he  warred,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah? 

46  "And  the  remnant  of  the  sodomites,  which  remained 
in  the  days  of  his  father  A'sa,  he  took  out  of  the  land. 

47  'There  icas  then  no  king  in  E'dom  :  a  deputy  was  king. 

48  "Je-hosh'a-phat  H'made  ships  of  Thar'shish  to  go  to 
O'phir  for  gold:  "but  they  went  not;  for  the  ships  were 
broken  at  ''E'zi-on-ge'ber. 

49  Then  said  A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  A'hab  unto  Je-hosh'a- 
phat,  Let  my  servants  go  with  thy  servants  in  the  ships.  But 
Je-hosh'a-phat  would  not. 

50  ^And  '■Je-hosh'a-phat  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was 
buried  with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father:  and 
Je-ho'ram  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

51  ^■'^A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  A'hab  began  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a  the  seventeenth  year  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  reigned  two  years  over  Is'ra-el. 

52  And  he  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  "walked 
in  the  way  of  his  father,  and  in  the  way  of  his  mother,  and 
in  the  way  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el 
to  sin : 

53  For  ''he  served  Ba'al,  and  worshipped  him,  and  provoked 
to  anger  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  according  to  all  that  his 
father  had  done. 


38  And  they  washed  the  chariot  by  the  pool  of  Sa- 
ma'ri-a;  and  the  dogs  licked  up  his  blood;  ('now 
the    harlots    washed    themselves    there;)    according 

39  unto  the  word  of  the  Lord  which  he  spake.  Now 
the  rest  of  the  acts  of  A'hab,  and  all  that  he  did, 
and  the  ivory  house  which  he  built,  and  all  the 
cities  that  he  built,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book 

40  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ?  So  A'hab 
slept  with  his  fathers ;  and  A-ha-zi'ah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

41  ^And  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  A'sa  began  to  reign 
over  Ju'dah  in  the  fourth  year  of  A'hab  king  of 

42  Is'ra-el.  Je-hosh'a-phat  was  thirty  and  five  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  twenty 
and  five  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.     And  his  mother's 

43  name  was  A-zu'bah  the  daughter  of  Shil'hi.  And  he 
walked  in  all  the  way  of  A'.sa  his  father;  he  turned 
not  aside  from  it,  doing  that  which  was  right  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord  :  howbeit  the  high  places  were  not 
taken  away ;  the  people  still  sacrificed  and  burnt  iu- 

44  cen.se  in  the  high  places.     And  Je-hosh'a-phat  made 

45  peace  with  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  Now  the  rest  of  the 
acts  of  Je-hosh'a-phat,  and  his  might  that  he  shewed, 
and  how  he  warred,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book 

46  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ?  And  the 
remnant  of  the  sodomites,  which  remained  in  the 
days  of  his  father  A'sa,  he  put  away  out  of  the  land. 

47 And  there  was  no  king  in  E'dom:    a   deputy   was 

48  king.  Je-hosh'a-phat  made  ships  of  Tar'shish  to  go 
to  O'phir  for  gold :  but  they  went  not ;  for  the  ships 

49  were  broken  at  E'zi-on-ge'ber.  Then  said  A-ha-zi'ah 
the  son  of  A'hab  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Let  my  servants 
go  with  thy  servants  in  the  ships.     But  Je-hosh'a-phat 

50  would  not.  ^And  Je-hosh'a-phat  slept  with  his  fathers, 
and  was  buried  with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid 
his  father:  and  Je-ho'ram  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

51  A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  A'hab  began  to  reign  over 
Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  in  the  seventeenth  year  of  Je- 
hosh'a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  he  reigned  two  years 

52  over  Is'ra-el.  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  walked  in  the  way  of  his 
father,  and  in  the  way  of  his  mother,  and  in  the 
way  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  ^wherein  he 

53  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin.  And  he  sei~\'ed  Ba'al,  and  wor- 
shipped him,  and  provoked  to  ar-ger  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  according  to  all  that  his  father  had  done.

and  say  unto  them,  Is  it  not  because  (here  is  not  a  God 
in  Is'ra-el,  that  ye  go  to  inquire  of  Ba'al-ze'bub  the  god 
of  Ek'ron? 

4  Now  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  fThou  shalt  not 
come  down  from  that  bed  on  which  thou  art  gone  up,  but 
shalt  surely  die.     And  E-li'jah  departed. 

5  ^And  when  the  messengers  turned  back  unto  him,  he 
said  unto  them.  Why  are  ye  now  turned  back  ? 

6  And  they  said  unto  him.  There  came  a  man  up  to  meet 
us,  and  said  unto  us.  Go,  turn  again  unto  the  king  that 
sent  you,  and  say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Is  it  not 
because  there  is  not  a  God  in  Is'ra-el,  that  thou  sendest  to  in- 
quire of  Ba'al-ze'bub  the  god  of  Ek'ron  ?  therefore  thou  shalt 
not  come  down  from  that  bed  on  which  thou  art  gone  up, 
but  shalt  surely  die. 

7  And  he  said  unto  them,  fWhat  manner  of  man  was  he 
which  came  up  to  meet  you,  and  told  you  these  words? 

8  And  they  answered  him.  He  was  ''a  hairy  man,  and 
girt  with  a  girdle  of  leather  about  his  loins.  And  he  said. 
It  is  E-li'jah  the  Tish'bite. 

9  Then  the  king  sent  unto  him  a  captain  of  fifty  with  his 
fifty.  And  he  went  up  to  him:  and,  behold,  he  sat  on  the 
top  of  a  hill.  And  he  spake  unto  him.  Thou  man  of  God, 
the  king  hath  said.  Come  down. 

10  And  E-li'jah  answered  and  said  to  the  captain  of  the 
fifty.  If  I  be  a.  man  of  God,  then  'let  fire  come  down  from 
heaven,  and  consume  thee  and  thy  fifty.  And  there  came 
down  fire  from  heaven,  and  consumed  him  and  his  fifty. 

11  Again  also  he  sent  unto  him  another  captain  of  fifty 
with  his  fifty.  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  him,  O  man 
of  God,  thus  hath  the  king  said,  Come  down  quickly. 

12  And  E-li'jah  answered  and  said  unto  them.  If  I  6e  a  man 
of  God,  let  fire  come  down  from  heaven,  and  consume  thee 
and  thy  fifty.  And  the  fire  of  God  came  down  from  heaven, 
and  consumed  him  and  his  fifty. 

13  ^And  he  sent  again  a  captain  of  the  third  fifty  with 
his  fifty.  And  the  third  captain  of  fifty  went  up,  and  came 
and  ffell  on  his  knees  before  E-li'jah,  and  besought  him,  and 
said  unto  him,  O  man  of  God,  I  pray  thee,  let  my  life,  and 
the  life  of  these  fifty  thy  servants,  -^be  precious  in  thy  sight. 

14  Behold,  there  came  fire  down  from  heaven,  and  burnt 
up  the  two  captains  of  the  former  fifties  with  their  fifties : 
therefore  let  my  life  now  be  precious  in  thy  sight. 

15  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said  unto  E-li'jah,  Go  down 
with  him :  be  not  afraid  of  him.  And  he  arose,  and  went 
down  with  him  unto  the  king. 

16  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Foras- 
much as  thou  hast  sent  messengers  to  inquire  of  Ba'al-ze'buL 
the  god  of  Ek'ron,  is  it  not  because  there  is  no  God  in  Is'- 
ra-el to  inquire  of  his  word  ?  therefore  thou  shalt  not  come 
down  off  that  bed  on  Avhich  thou  art  gone  up,  but  shalt 
surely  die. 

17  1[So  he  died  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord 
which  E-li'jah  had  spoken.  And  ||Je-ho'ram  reigned  in  his 
stead  in  the  second  year  of  Je-ho'ram  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a- 
phat  king  of  Ju'dah ;  because  he  had  no  son. 

18  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  A-ha-zi'ah  which  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings 
of  Is'ra-el? 

CHAPTER  II. 

Elijah  taken  up  into  heaven — Bears  destroy  the  children  that  mocked  Elisha. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  Lord  would  "take  up 
E-li'jah  into  heaven  by  a  whirlwind,  that  E-li'jah  went 
with  'E-li'sha  from  Gil'gal. 

2  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  E-li'sha,  "Tarry  here,  I  pray  thee; 
for  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to  Beth'-el.  And  E-li'sha  said 
unto  him,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  ^as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will 
not  leave  thee.     So  they  went  down  to  Beth'-el. 

3  And  'the  sons  of  the  prophets  that  were  at  Beth'-el  came 


and  say  unto  them.  Is  it  because  there  is  no  God 
in  Is'ra-el,  that  ye  go  to  inquire  of  Ba'al-ze'bub  the 

4  god  of  Ek'ron  ?  Now  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Thou  shalt  not  come  down  from  the  bed  whither 
thou   art   gone    up,    but    shalt    surely    die.     And 

5  E-li'jah  departed.     And  the  messengers  returned  un- 
,  to  him,  and  he  said  unto  them.  Why  is  it  that  ye  are 

6 returned?  And  they  said  unto  him.  There  came 
up  a  man  to  meet  us,  and  said  unto  us.  Go,  turn 
again  unto  the  king  that  sent  you,  and  say  unto 
him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Is  it  because  there,  is  no 
God  in  Is'ra-el,  that  thou  sendest  to  inquire  of  Ba'al- 
ze'bub  the  god  of  Ek'ron  ?  therefore  thou  shalt  not 
come  down  from  the  bed  whither  thou  art  gone  up, 

7  but  shalt  surely  die.  And  he  said  unto  them,  AVhat 
manner  of  man  was  he  which  came  up  to  meet  you, 

Sand  told  you  these  words?  And  they  answered 
him.  He  was  'an  hairy  man,  and  girt  with  a  girdle 
of  leather  about  his  loins.     And  he  said.  It  is  E-li'jah 

9  the  Tish'bite.  Then  the  king  sent  unto  him  a  cap- 
tain of  fifty  with  his  fifty.  And  he  went  up  to  him : 
and,  behold,  he  Vat  on  the  top  of  the  hill.  And  he 
spake  unto  him,  O  man  of  God,  the  king  hath  said, 
10  Come  down.  And  E-li'jah  answered  and  said  to  the 
captain  of  fifty,  If  I  be  a  man  of  God,  let  fire  come 
down  from  heaven,  and  consume  thee  and  thy  fifty. 
And  there  came  down  fire  from  heaven,  and  con- 
llsumed  him  and  his  fifty.  And  again  he  sent  unto 
him  another  captain  of  fifty  with  his  fifty.  And  he 
answered  and  said  unto  him,  O  man   of  God,  thus 

12  hath  the  king  said,  Come  down  quickly.  And 
E-li'jah  answered  and  said  unto  them.  If  I  be  a  man 
of  God,  let  fire  come  down  from  heaven,  and  con- 
sume thee  and  thy  fifty.  And  the  fire  of  God  came 
down  from  heaven,  and  consumed  him  and  his  fifty. 

13  And  again  he  sent  the  captain  of  a  third  fifty  with 
his  fifty.  And  the  third  captain  of  fifty  went  up, 
and  came  and  fell  on  his  knees  before  E-li'jah,  and 
besought  him,  and  said  unto  him,  O  man  of  God,  I 
pray  thee,  let  my  life,  and  the  life  of  these  fifty  thy 

14  servants,  be  precious  in  thy  sight.  Behold,  there 
came  fire  down  from  heaven,  and  consumed  the  two 
former  captains  of  fifty  with  their  fifties :  but  now 

15  let  my  life  be  precious  in  thy  sight.  And  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  said  unto  E-li'jah,  Go  down  with  him: 
be  not  afraid  of  him.     And  he  arose,  and  went  down 

16  with  him  unto  the  king.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Forasmuch  as  thou  hast  sent 
messengers  to  inquire  of  Ba'al-ze'bub  the  god  of 
Ek'ron,  is  it  because  there  is  no  God  in  Is'ra-el  to  in- 

3uire  of  his  word?    therefore  thou  shalt  not  come 
own  from  the  bed  whither  thou  art  gone  up,  but 

17  shalt  surely  die.  So  he  died  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord  which  E-li'jah  had  spoken.  And  Je- 
ho'ram  began  to  reign  in  his  stead  in  the  second 
year  of  Je-ho'ram  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of 

18  Ju'dah;  because  he  had  no  son.  Now  the  rest  of 
the  acts  of  A-ha-zi'ah  which  he  did,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings 
of  Is'ra-el? 

"^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  Lord  would  take 
up  E-li'jah  by  a  whirlwind  into  heaven,  that  E-li'- 

2  jah  went  with  E-li'sha  from  Gil'gal.  And  E-li'jah  said 
unto  E-li'sha,  Tarry  here,  I  pray  thee ;  for  the  Lord 
hath  sent  me  as  fer  as  Beth'-el.  And  E-li'.sha  said, 
As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will 

3  not  leave  thee.  So  they  went  down  to  Beth'-el.  And 
the  sons  of  the  prophets  that  were  at  Beth'-el  came

Lord  will  take  away  thy  master  from  thy  head  to-day? 
And  he  said,  Yea,  I  know  it;  hold  ye  your  peace.

to  E-li'sha,  and  said  unto  him,  Knowest  thou  that  the  Lord 
will  take  away  thy  master  from  thy  head  to-day  ?  And  he 
answered,  Yea,  I  know  it;  hold  ye  your  peace. 

6  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  him,  Tarry,  I  pray  thee,  here ;  for 
the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to  Jor'dan.  And  he  said.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  leave  thee. 
And  they  two  went  on. 

7  And  fifty  men  of  the  sons  of  the  prophets  went,  and 
stood  fto  view  afar  oW:  and  they  two  stood  by  Jor'dan. 

8  And  E-li'jah  took  his  mantle,  and  wrapped  it  together, 
and  smote  the  waters,  and  -^they  were  divided  hither  and 
thither,  so  that  they  two  went  over  on  dry  ground. 

9  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  were  gone  over,  that 
E-li'jah  said  unto  E-li'sha,  Ask  what  I  shall  do  for  thee,  before 
I  be  taken  away  from  thee.  And  E-li'&ha  said,  I  pray  thee, 
let  a  double  portion  of  thy  spirit  be  upon  me. 

10  And  he  said,  fThou  hast  asked  a  hard  thing:  never- 
theless, if  thou  see  me  ichen  I  am  taken  from  thee,  it  shall 
be  so  unto  thee ;  but  if  not,  it  shall  not  be  so. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  still  went  on,  and  talked, 
that,  behold,  thei-e  appeared  'a  chariot  of  fire,  and  horses  of 
fire,  and  parted  them  both  asunder;  and  E-li'jah  went  up  by 
a  whirlwind  into  heaven. 

12  ^And  E-li'sha  saw  it,  and  he  cried,  'My  father,  my 
f^her,  the  chariot  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  horsemen  thereof! 
And  he  saw  him  no  more :  and  he  took  hold  of  his  own 
clothes,  and  rent  them  in  two  pieces. 

13  He  took  up  also  the  mantle  of  E-li'jah  that  fell  from  him, 
and  went  back,  and  stood  by  the  fbank  of  Jor'dan ; 

14  And  he  took  the  mantle  of  E-li'jah  that  fell  from  him, 
and  smote  the  waters,  and  said.  Where  is  the  Lord  God  of 
E-li'jah  ?  And  when  he  also  had  smitten  the  waters,  'they 
parted  hither  and  thither :  and  E-li'sha  went  over. 

15  And  when  the  sons  of  the  prophets  which  were  'to  view 
at  Jer'i-cho  saw  him,  they  said.  The  spirit  of  E-li'jah  doth  rest 
on  E-li'sha.  And  they  came  to  meet  him,  and  bowed  them- 
selves to  the  ground  before  him. 

16  ^And  they  said  unto  him.  Behold  now,  there  be  with 
thy  servants  fifty  fstrong  men :  let  them  go,  we  pray  thee, 
and  seek  thy  master:  '"lest  peradventure  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  hath  taken  him  up,  and  cast  him  upon  fsome 
mountain,  or  into  some  valley.  And  he  said.  Ye  shall  not 
send. 

17  And  when  they  urged  him  till  he  was  ashamed,  he  said. 
Send.  They  sent  therefore  fifty  men ;  and  they  sought 
three  days,  but  found  him  not. 

18  And  when  they  came  again  to  him,  (for  he  tanied 
at  Jer'i-cho,)  he  said  unto  them.  Did  I  not  say  unto  you. 
Go  not? 

19  "[[And  the  men  of  the  city  said  unto  E-li'sha,  Be- 
hold, I  pray  thee,  the  situation  of  this  city  is  pleasant,  as 
my  lord  seeth:  but  the  water  is  naught,  and  the  ground 
fbarren. 

20  And  he  said,  Bring  me  a  new  cruse,  and  put  salt 
therein.     And  they  brought  it  to  him. 

21  And  he  went  forth  unto  the  spring  of  the  waters,  and 
"cast  the  salt  in  there,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  have 
healed  these  waters;  there  shall  not  be  from  thence  any 
more  death  or  barren  land. 

22  So  the  waters  were  healed  unto  this  day,  according  to 
the  saying  of  E-li'sha  which  he  spake. 


forth  to  E-li'sha,  and  said  unto  him,  Knowest  thou 
that  the  Lord  will  take  away  thy  master  from  thy 
head  to-day  ?     And  he  said.  Yea,  I  know  it ;  hold 

4  ye  your  peace.  And  E-li'jah  said  unto  him,  E-li'sha 
tarry  here,  I  pray  thee ;  for  the  Lord  hath  sent  me 
to  Jer'i-cho.  And  he  said.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as 
thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  leave  thee.     So  they  came 

5  to  Jer'i-cho.  And  the  sons  of  the  prophets  that  were 
at  Jer'i-cho  came  near  to  E-li'sha,  and  said  unto  him, 
Knowest  thou  that  the  Lord  will  take  away  thy 
master  from  thy  head  to  day  ?     And  he  answered 

6  Yea,  I  know  it ;  hold  ye  your  peace.  And  E-li'jah 
said  unto  him.  Tarry  here,  I  pray  thee;  for  the 
Lord  hath  sent  me  to  Jor'dan.  And  he  said.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  leave 

7  thee.  And  they  two  went  on.  And  fifty  men  of 
the  sons  of  the  prophets  went,  and  stood  over 
against  them  afar  off:  and  they  two  stood  by  Jor'dan. 

8  And  E-li'jah  took  his  mantle,  and  wrapped  it  together, 
and  smote  the  waters,  and  they  were  divided  hither 
and   thither,  so  that  they  two   went   over  on  dry 

9  ground.  And  it  came  to  pass,  'when  they  were 
gone  over,  that  E-li'jah  said  unto  E-li'sha,  Ask  what  I 
shall  do  for  thee,  before  I  be  taken  from  thee.  And 
E-li'sha  said,  I  pray  thee,  let  ^a  double  portion  of  thy 

10  spirit  be  upon  me.  And  he  said,  Thou  hast  asked 
a  hard  thing :  nevertheless,  if  thou  see  me  when  I 
am  taken  from  thee,  it  shall  be  so  unto  thee ;  but  if 

11  not,  it  shall  not  be  so.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
still  went  on,  and  talked,  that,  behold,  there  appeared 
^a  chariot  of  fire,  and  horses  of  fire,  which  parted 
them  both  asunder;  and  E-li'jah  went  up  by  a  whirl 

12  wind  into  heaven.  And  E-li'sha  saw  it,  and  he  cried. 
My  father,  my  father,  the  ^chariots  of  Is'ra-el  and  the 
horsemen  thereof!  And  he  saw  him  no  more :  and 
he  took  hold  of  his  own  clothes,  and  rent  them  in 

13  two  pieces.  He  took  up  also  the  mantle  of  E-li'jah 
that  fell  from  him,  and  went  back,  and  stood  by  the 

14  bank  of  Jor'dan.  And  he  took  the  mantle  of  E-li'jah 
that  fell  from  him,  and  smote  the  waters,  and  said. 
Where  is  the  Lord,  the  '^God  of  E-li'jah  ?  and  when 
he  also  had  smitten  the  waters,  they  were  divided 

15 hither  and  thither:  and  E-li'sha  went  over.     And 
when  the  sons  of  the  prophets  which  were  at  Jer'i 
cho  over  against  him  saw  him,  they  said.  The  spirit 
of  E-li'jah  doth  rest  on  E-li'sba.     And  they  came  to 
meet  him,  and  bowed  themselves  to  the  ground  be- 

16  fore  him.  And  they  said  unto  him.  Behold  now, 
there  be  with  thy  servants  fifty  strong  men  ;  let  them 
go,  we  pray  thee,  and  seek  thy  master :  lest  perad- 
venture the  spirit  of  the  Lord  hath  taken  him  up, 
and  cast  him  upon   some   mountain,  or   into   some 

17  valley.  And  he  said.  Ye  shall  not  send.  And  when 
they  urged  him  till  he  was  ashamed,  he  said.  Send. 
They  sent  therefore  fifty  men ;  and  they  sought  three 

18  days,  but  found  him  not.  And  they  came  back  to 
him,  while  he  tarried  at  Jer'i-cho :  and  he  said  unto 
them.  Did  I  not  say  unto  you.  Go  not? 

19  And  the  men  of  the  city  said  unto  E-li'sha,  Behold, 
we  pray  thee,  the  situation  of  this  city  is  pleasant,  as 
my  lord  seeth :  but  the  water  is  naught,  and  the  land 

20^miscarrieth.  And  he  said,  Bring  me  a  new  cruse, 
and  put  salt  therein.      And  they  brought  it  to  him. 

21  And  he  went  forth  unto  the  spring  of  the  waters, 
and  cast  salt  therein,  and  said.  Thus  .saith  the  Lord, 
I  have  healed  these  waters;  there  shall  not  be  from 

22  thence  any  more  death  or  'miscarrying.  So  the 
waters  were  healed  unto  this  day,  according  to  the 
words  of  E-li'sha  which  he  spake.

23  ^And  lie  went  up  from  thence  unto  Beth'-el  i  and  as 
he  was  going  up  by  the  way,  there  came  forth  little  children 
out  of  the  city,  and  mocked  him,  and  said  unto  him,  Go  up, 
thou  bald  head;  go  up,  thou  bald  head. 

24  And  he  turned  back,  and  looked  on  them,  and  cursed 
them  in  the  name  of  the  Lokd.  And  there  came  forth  two 
she-bears  out  of  the  wood,  and  tare  forty  and  two  children 
of  them. 

25  And  he  went  from  thence  to  mount  Car'mel,  and  from 
thence  he  returned  to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

CHAPTER    III. 

Jehoram^ s^reign — Mesha  rebelleth. 

"VrOW  "Je-ho'ram  the  son  of  A'hab  began  to  reign  over 
-L'l  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  in  the  eighteenth  year  of  Je-hosh'- 
a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  reigned  twelve  years. 

2  And  he  wrought  eyil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ;  but  not 
like  his  father,  and  like  his  mother:  for  he  put  away  the 
fimage  of  Ba'al  ""that  his  father  had  made. 

3  Nevertheless  he  cleaved  unto  "the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the 
son  of  Ne'bat,  which  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin ;  he  departed  not 
therefrom. 

4  ^And  Me'sha  king  of  Mo'ab  was  a  sheepmaster,  and 
rendered  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  a  hundred  thousand  ''lambs, 
and  a  hundred  thousand  rams,  with  the  wool. 

5  But  it  came  to  pass,  when  'A'hab  was  dead,  that  the  king 
of  Mo'ab  rebelled  against  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  ^And  king  Je-ho'ram  went  out  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  the 
same  time,  and  numbered  all  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  he  went  and  sent  to  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Ju'dah, 
saying,  The  king  of  Mo'ab  hath  rebelled  against  me :  wilt 
thou  go  with  me  against  Mo'ab  to  battle?  And  he  said,  I 
will  go  up :  -^  I  am  as  thou  art,  my  people  as  thy  people,  and 
my  horses  as  thy  horses. 

8  And  he  said.  Which  way  shall  we  go  up?  And  he 
answered.  The  way  through  the  wilderness  of  E'dom. 

9  So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  went,  and  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  and 
the  king  of  E'dom:  and  they  fetched  a  compass  of  seven 
days'  journey :  and  there  was  no  water  for  the  host,  and  for 
the  cattle  fthat  followed  them. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said,  Alas,  that  the  Lord  hath 
called  these  three  kings  together,  to  deliver  them  into  the 
hand  of  Mo'ab ! 

11  But  "Je-hosh'a-phat  said,  Is  there  not  here  a  prophet  of 
the  Lord,  that  we  may  inquire  of  the  Lord  by  him  ?  And 
one  of  the  king  of  Is'ra-el's  servants  answered  and  said. 
Here  is  E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'phat,  which  poured  water  on 
the  hands  of  E-li'jah. 

12  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said.  The  word  of  the  Lord  is  with 
him.  So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  and  the  king 
of  E'dom  *went  down  to  him. 

13  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  'What  have 
I  to  do  with  thee  ?  *get  thee  to  'the  prophets  of  thy  father, 
and  to  the  prophets  of  thy  mother.  And  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el  said  unto  him.  Nay :  for  the  Lord  hath  called  these 
three  kings  together,  to  deliver  them  into  the  hand  of  Mo'ab. 

14  And  E-li'sha  said,  "".48  the  Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before 
whom  I  stand,  surely,  were  it  not  that  I  regard  the  presence 
of  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  I  would  not  look 
toward  thee,  nor  see  thee. 

15  But  now  bring  me  a  "minstrel.  And  it  came  to  pass, when 
the  minstrel  played,  that  "the  hand  of  the  Lord  came  upon  him. 

1 6  And  he  said.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  "Make  this  valley 
full  of  ditches. 

17  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye  shall  not  see  wind, 
neither  shall  ye  see  rain ;  yet  that  valley  shall  be  filled 
with  water,  that  ye  may  drink,  both  ye,  and  your  cattle, 
and  your  beasts. 

18  And  this  is  but  a  light  thing  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  : 
he  will  deliver  the  Mo'ab-ites  also  into  your  hand. 


23  And  he  went  up  from  thence  unto  Beth'-el :  and 
as  he  was  going  up  by  the  way,  there  came  forth 
'little  children  out  of  the  city,  and  mocked  him,  and 
said  unto  him,  Go  up,  thou  bald  head ;  go  up,  thou 

24  bald  head.  And  he  looked  behind  him  and  saw 
them,  and  cursed  them  in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 
And  there  came  forth  two  she-bears  out  of  the  wood, 

25  and  tare  forty  and  two  children  of  them.  And  he 
went  from  thence  to  mount  Car'mel,  and  from  thence 
he  returned  to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

■0  Now  Je-ho'ram  the  son  of  A'hab  began  to  reign 
over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  in  the  eighteenth  year  of 
Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  reigned  twelve 

2  years.  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord  ;  but  not  like  his  father,  and  like  his 
mother :  for  he  put  away  the  ^pillar  of  Ba'al  that  his 

3  father  had  made.  Nevertheless  he  cleaved  unto  the 
sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  wherewith  he 
made  Is'ra-el  to  sin;  he  departed  not  therefrom. 

4  Now  Me'sha  king  of  Mo'ab  was  a  sheepmaster; 
and  he  rendered  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  'the  wool 
of  an  hundred  thousand  lambs,  and  of  an  hundred 

5  thousand  rams.     But  it  came  to  pass,  when  A'hab 
^^as  dead,  that  the  king  of  Mo'ab  rebelled  against 

6  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.     And  king  Je-ho'ram  went  out  of 

7  Sa|-ma'ri-a  at  that  time,  and  mustered  all  Is'ra-el.  And 
he  went  and  sent  to  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Ju'dah, 
saying,  The  king  of  Mo'ab  hath  rebelled  against  me : 
wilt  thou  go  with  me  against  Mo'ab  to  battle?  And 
he  said,  I  will  go  up:  I  am  as  thou  art,  my  poopL 

8  as  thy  people,  my  horses  as  thy  hor,ses.  And  he 
said,  Which  way  shall  we  go  up?     And  he  answered, 

9  The  way  of  the  wilderness  of  E'dom.  So  the  kinj , 
of  Is'ra-el  went,  and  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  king 
of  E'dom :  and  they  made  a  circuit  of  seven  days' 
journey :  and  there  was  no  water  for  the  host,  nor 

10  for  the  beasts  that  followed  them.  And  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el  said,  Alas!  for  the  Lord  hath  called  these 
three  kings  together  to  deliver  them  into  the  hand 

11  of  Mo'ab.  But  Je-hosh'a-phat  said,  Is  there  not  here 
a  prophet  of  the  Lord,  that  we  may  inquire  of  the 
Lord  by  him  ?  And  one  of  the  king"  of  Is'ra-el's 
servants  answered  and  said,  E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'- 
phat is  here,  which  poured  water  on  the  hands  of 

12  E-li'jah.  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said.  The  word  of  the 
Lord  is  with  him.  So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je- 
hosh'a-phat  and  the  king  of  E'dom  went  down  to  him. 

13  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  What  have 
I  to  do  with  thee?  get  thee  to  the  prophets  of  thy 
father,  and  to  the  prophets  of  thy  mother.  And  the 
king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  him.  Nay:  for  the  Lord 
hath  called  these  three  kings  together  to   deliver 

14  them  into  the  hand  of  Mo'ab.  And  E-li'sha  said,  As 
the  Lord  of  hosts  liveth,  before  whom  I  stand, 
surely,  were  it  not  that  I  regard  the  presence  of 
Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  I  would  not  look 

15  toward  thee,  nor  see  thee.  But  now  bring  me  a 
minstrel.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  minstrel 
played,  that  the  hand  of  the  Lord  came  upon  him. 

16  And  he  said,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Make  this  val- 

17  ley  full  of  trenches.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
shall  not  see  wind,  neither  shall  ye  see  rain,  yet  that 
valley  shall  be  filled  with  water:  and  ye  shall  drink, 

18  both  ye  and  your  cattle  and  your  beasts.  And 
this  is  but  a  light  thing  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  : 
he  will  also  deliver  the  Mo'ab-ites  into  vour  hand.

city,  and  shall  fell  every  good  tree,  and  stop  all  wells  of 
water,  and  fmar  every  good  piece  of  land  with  stones. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning,  when  'the  meat 
offering  was  offered,  that,  behold,  there  came  water  by  the 
way  of  E'dom,  and  the  country  was  filled  with  water. 

21  1[And  when  all  the  Mo'ab-ites  heard  that  the  kings 
were  come  up  to  fight  against  them,  they  fgathered  all  that 
were  able  to  tput  on  armour,  and  upward,  and  stood  in 
the  border. 

22  And  they  rose!  up  early  in  the  morning,  and  the  sun 
shone  upon  the  water,  and  the  Mo'ab-ites  saw  the  water  on 
the  other  side  as  red  as  blood  : 

23  And  they  said.  This  is  blood:  the  kings  are  surely 
fslain,  and  th'3y  have  smitten  one  another:  now  therefore, 
Mo'ab,  to  the  spoil. 

24  And  when  they  came  to  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el,  the  Is'ra- 
el-ites  rose  up  and  smote  the  Mo'ab-ites,  so  that  they  fled 
before  them :  but  ||they  went  forward  smiting  the  Mo'ab-ites, 
even  in  their  country. 

25  And  they  beat  down  the  cities,  and  on  every  good 
piece  of  land  cast  every  man  his  stone,  and  filled  it ; 
and  they  stopped  all  the  wells  of  water,  and  felled  all  the 
good  trees :  fonly  in  'Kir-har-a'seth  left  they  the 
stones  thereof;  howbeit  the  slingers  went  about  it,  and 
smote  it. 

26  ^And  when  the  king  of  Mo'ab  saw  that  the  battle  was 
too  sore  for  him,  he  took  with  him  seven  hundred  men  that 
drew  swords,  to  break  through  even  unto  the  king  of  E'dom : 
but  they  could  not. 

27  Then  'he  took  his  eldest  son,  that  should  have  reigned 
in  his  stead,  and  offered  him  for  a  burnt  offering  upon  the 
wall.  And  there  was  great  indignation  against  Is'ra-el :  'and 
they  departed  from  him,  and  returned  to  their  oxen  land. 

CHAPTER   IV. 

Elisha  muUiplieth  the  widow^s  oil — He  healeth  the  deadly  pottage. 

"VTOW  there  cried  a  certain  woman  of  the  wives  of  "the 
J-1  sons  of  the  prophets  unto  E-li'sha,  saying,  Thy  servant 
my  husband  is  dead;  and  thou  knowest  that  thy  servant 
did  fear  the  Lord:  and  the  creditor  is  come  Ho  take  unto 
him  my  two  sons  to  be  bondmen. 

2  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  her,  "What  shall  I  do  for  thee? 
tell  me,  what  hast  thou  in  the  house  ?  And  she  said.  Thine 
handmaid  hath  not  any  thing  in  the  house,  save  a  pot  of  oil. 

3  Then  he  said,  Go,  borrow  thee  vessels  abroad  of  all  thy 
neighbours,  even  empty  vessels  ;  ''H  borrow  not  a  few. 

4  And  when  thou  art  come  in,  thou  shalt  shut  the  door 
upon  thee  and  upon  thy  sons,  and  shalt  pour  out  into  all 
those  vessels,  and  thou  shalt  set  aside  that  which  is  full. 

5  So  she  went  from  him,  and  shut  the  door  upon  her  and 
upon  her  sons,  who  brought  the  vessels  to  her ;  and  she 
poured  out. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  vessels  were  full,  that  she 
said  unto  her  son.  Bring  me  yet  a  vessel.  And  he  .said 
unto  her.  There  is  not  a  vessel  more.     And  the  oil  stayed. 

7  Then  she  came  and  told  the  man  of  God.  And  he  said. 
Go,  sell  the  oil,  and  pay  thy  ||debt,  and  live  thou  and  thy 
children  of  the  rest. 

8  ^  And  fit  fell  on  a  day,  that  E-li'sha  passed  to  ''Shu'nem, 
where  was  a  great  woman ;  and  she  fconstraiued  him  to 
eat  bread.  And  so  it  was,  that  as  oft  as  he  passed  by,  he 
turned  in  thither  to  eat  bread. 

9  And  she  said  unto  her  husband.  Behold,  now,  I  perceive 
that  this  is  a  holy  man  of  God,  which  passeth  by  us  con- 
tinually. 

10  Let  us  make  a  little  chamber,  I  pray  thee,  on  the  wall ; 
and  let  us  set  for  him  there  a  bed,  and  a  table,  and  a  stool, 
and  a  candlestick :  and  it  shall  be,  when  he  cometh  to  us, 
that  he  shall  turn  in  thither. 


19  And  ye  shall  smite  every  fenced  city,  and  every 
choice  city,  and  shall  fell  every  good  tree,  and  stop 
all  fountains  of  water,  and  mar  every  good  piece  of 

20  land  with  stones.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morn- 
ing, about  the  time  of  offering  the  oblation,  that,  be- 
hold, there  came  water  by  the  way  of  E'dom,  and  the 

21  country  was  filled  with  water.  Now  when  all  the 
Mo'ab-ites  heard  that  the  kings  were  come  up  to  fight 
against  them,  they  'gathered  themselves  together,  all 
that  were  able  to  ^put  on  armour,  and  upward,  and 

22  stood  on  the  border.  And  they  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  the  sun  shone  upon  the  water,  and  the 
Mo'ab-ites  saw  the  water  over  against  them  as  red  as 

23  blood  :  and  they  said.  This  is  blood ;  the  kings  ^are 
surely  destroyed,  and  they  have  smitten  each  man 

24  his  fellow :  now  therefore,  Mo'ab,  to  the  spoil.  A  nd 
when  they  came  to  the  camp  of  Is'ra-el,  ihe  Is'ra-el-ites 
rose  up  and  smote  the  Mo'ab-ites,  so  that  they  fled 
before  them :  and  they  went  forward  *into  the  land 

25  smiting  the  Mo'ab-ites.  And  they  beat  down  the 
cities ;  and  on  every  good  piece  of  land  they  cast 
every  man  his  stone,  and  filled  it;  and  they  stopped 
all  the  fountains  of  water,  and  felled  all  the  good 
trees :  until  in  Kir-har-e'seth  only  they  left  the  stones 
thereof;  howbeit   the   slingers  went   about   it,   and 

26  smote  it.  And  when  the  king  of  Mo'ab  saw  that  the 
battle  was  too  sore  for  him,  he  took  with  him  seven 
hundred  men   that  drew   sword,  to  bre.ak  through 

27  unto  the  king  of  E'dom :  but  they  could  not.  Then 
he  took  his  eldest  son  that  should  have  reigned  in 
his  stead,  and  offered  him  for  a  burnt  offering  upon 
the  wall.  And  'there  was  great  wrath  against  Is'- 
ra-el :  and  they  departed  from  him,  and  returned  to 
their  own  land. 

^  Now  there  cried  a  certain  woman  of  the  wives  of 
the  sons  of  the  prophets  unto  E-li'sha,  saying,  Thy 
servant  my  husband  is  dead :  and  thou  knowest  that 
thy  servant  did  fear  the  Lord  :  and  the  creditor  is 
come  to  take  unto  him  my  two  children  to  be  bond 

2  men.  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  her.  What  shall  I  do  for 
thee  ?  tell  me ;  what  hast  thou  in  the  house  ?  And 
she  said.  Thine  handmaid  hath  not  any  thing  in  the 

3  house,  save  a  pot  of  oil.  Then  he  said,  Go  borrow 
thee  vessels  abroad  of  all  thy  neighbours,  even  empty 

4 vessels;  borrow  not  a  few.  And  thou  shalt  go  in, 
and  shut  the  door  upon  thee  and  upon  thy  sons,  and 
pour  out  luto  all  those  vessels;  and  thou  shalt  set 

5  aside  that  \  '  ich  is  full.  So  she  went  from  him,  and 
shut  the  do(  r  upon  her  and   upon  her  sons;  they 

6  brought  the  vessels  to  her,  and  she  poured  out.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  the  vessels  were  full,  that  she 
said  unto  her  son,  Bring  me  yet  a  vessel.  And  he 
said  unto  her,  There  is  not  a  vessel  more.     And  the 

7  oil  stayed.  Then  she  came  and  told  the  man  of  God. 
And  he  said.  Go,  sell  the  oil,  and  pay  thy  debt,  and 
live  thou  and  thy  sons  of  the  rest. 

8  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  E-li'sha  passed  to 
Shu'nem,  where  was  a  great  woman ;  and  she 
constrained  him  to  eat  bread.  And  so  it  was, 
that  as  oft  as  he  passed   by,  he  turned   in  thither 

8  to  eat  bread.  And  she  said  unto  her  husband. 
Behold  now,  I  perceive  that, this  is  an  holy  man 
10  of  God,  which  passeth  by  us  continually.  Let  us 
make,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  chamber  ^on  the  wall ; 
and  let  us  set  for  him  there  a  bed,  and  a  table, 
and  a  stool,  and  a  candlestick :  and  it  shall  be, 
when  he  cometh  to  us,  that  he  shall  turn  in  thither.  |

11  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  became  thither,  and  he  turned 
into  the  chamber,  and  lay  there. 

12  And  he  said  to  Ge-ha'zi  his  servant,  Call  this  Shu'nam- 
mite.     And  when  he  had  called  her,  she  stood  before  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him,  Say  now  unto  her.  Behold,  thou 
hast  been  careful  for  us  with  all  this  care ;  what  is  to  be  done 
for  thee?  wouldest  thou  be  spoken  for  to  the  king,  or  to  the 
captain  of  the  host?  And  she  answered,  I  dwell  among 
mine  own  people. 

14  And  he  said.  What  thwi  is  to  be  done  for  her?  And 
Ge-ha'zi  answered,  Verily  she  hath  no  child,  and  her  hus- 
band is  old. 

15  And  he  said.  Call  her.  And  when  he  had  called  her, 
she  stood  in  the  door. 

16  And  he  said,  'About  this  fseason,  according  to  the 
time  of  life,  thou  shalt  embrace  a  son.  And  she  said,  Nay, 
my  lord,  thou  man  of  God,  /do  not  lie  unto  thine  handmaid. 

17  And  the  woman  conceived,  and  bare  a  son  at  that  sea- 
son that  E-li'sha  had  said  unto  her,  according  to  the  time  of  life. 

18  ^And  when  the  child  was  grown,  it  fell  on  a  day,  that 
he  went  out  to  his  father  to  the  reapers. 

19  And  he  said  unto  his  father,  My  head,  my  head!  And 
he  said  to  a  lad,  Carry  him  to  his  mother. 

20  And  when  he  had  taken  him,  and  brought  him  to  his 
mother,  he  sat  on  her  knees  till  noon,  and  then  died. 

21  And  she  went  up,  and  laid  him  on  the  bed  of  the  man 
of  God,  and  shut  the  door  upon  him,  and  went  out. 

22  And  she  called  unto  her  husband,  and  said.  Send  me, 
I  pray  thee,  one  of  the  young  men,  and  one  of  the  asses, 
that  I  may  run  to  the  man  of  God,  and  come  again. 

23  And  he  said.  Wherefore  wilt  thou  go  to  him  to-day  ? 
it  is  neither  new  moon,  nor  sabbath.  And  she  said.  It  shall 
be  fwell. 

24  Then  she  saddled  an  ass,  and  said  to  her  servant. 
Drive,  aild  go  forward ;  fslack  not  thy  riding  for  me,  except 
I  bid  thee. 

25  So  she  went  and  came  unto  the  man  of  God  "to  motmt 
Car'mel.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  man  of  God  saw 
her  afar  off,  that  he  said  to  Ge-ha'zi  his  servant.  Behold, 
yonder  is  that  Shu'nam-mite : 

26  Run  now,  I  pray  thee,  to  meet  her,  and  say  unto  her. 
Is  it  well  with  thee?  is  it  well  with  thy  husband?  is  it  well 
with  the  child?     And  she  answered.  It  is  well. 

27  And  when  she  came  to  the  man  of  God  to  the  hill,  she 
caught  fhim  by  the  feet :  but  Ge-ha'zi  came  near  to  thrust 
her  away.  And  the  man  of  God  said.  Let  her  alone ;  for 
her  soul  is  fvexed  within  her :  and  the  Lord  hath  hid  it 
from  me,  and  hath  not  told  me. 

28  Then  she  said.  Did  I  desire  a  son  of  my  lord  ?  *did  I 
not  say.  Do  not  deceive  me  ? 

29  Then  he  said  to  Ge-ha/zi,  'Gird  up  thy  loins,  and  take  my 
staff  in  thine  hand,  and  go  thy  Avay  :  if  thou  meet  any  man, 
*salute  him  not;  and  if  any  salute  thee,  answer  him  not 
again  :  and  'lay  my  staff  upon  the  face  of  the  child. 

30  And  the  mother  of  the  child  said,  '^As  the  Lord  liveth, 
and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  leave  thee.  And  he  arose, 
and  followed  her. 

31  And  Ge-ha'zi  passed  on  before  them,  and  laid  the  staff 
upon  the  face  of  the  child ;  but  there  was  neither  voice,  nor 
fhearing.  Wherefore  he  went  again  to  meet  him,  and  told 
him,  saying,  The  child  is  "not  awaked. 

32  And  when  E-li'sha  was  come  into  the  house,  behold, 
the  child  was  dead,  and  laid  upon  his  bed. 

33  He  "went  in  therefore,  and  shut  the  door  upon  them 
twain,  "and  prayed  unto  the  Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay  upon  the  child,  and  put  his 
mouth  upon  his  mouth,  and  his  eyes  upon  his  eyes,  and  his 
hands  upon  his  bands :  and  'he  stretched  himself  upon  the 
child;  and  the  flesh  of  the  child  waxed  warm. 


11  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  he  came  thither,  and  he 

12  turned  into  the  chamber  and  lay  there.  And  he  said 
to  Ge-ha'zi  his  servant,  Call  this  Shu'nam-mite.  And 

13  when  he  had  called  her,  she  stood  before  him.  And 
he  said  unto  him.  Say  now  unto  her,  Behold,  thou 
hast  'been  careful  for  us  with  all  this  care ;  what  is 
to  be  done  for  thee  ?  wouldest  thou  be  spoken  for  to 
the  king,  or  to  the  captain  of  the  host?    And  she 

14  answered,  I  dwell  among  mine  own  people.  And  he 
said.  What  then  is  to  be  done  for  her  ?  And  Ge-ha'zi 
answered.  Verily  she  hath  no  son,  and  her  husband 

15  is  old.     And  he  said.  Call  her.     And  when  he  had 

16  called  her,  she  stood  in  the  door.  And  he  said.  At 
this  season,  when  the  time  ^cometh  round,  thou  shalt 
embrace  a  son.     And  she  said,  Nay,  my  lord,  thou' 

17  man  of  God,  do  not  lie  unto  thine  handmaid.  And 
the  woman  conceived,  and  bare  a  son  at  that  season, 
when  the  time  came  round,  as  E-li'sha  had  said  unto 

18  her.  And  when  the  child  was  grown,  it  fell  on  a 
day,  that  he  went  out  to  his  father  to  the  reapers. 

19  And  he  said  unto  his  father.  My  head,  my  head. 
And    he    said    to    his    servant.    Carry    liim   to  his 

20  mother.  And  when  he  had  taken  him,  and  brought 
him  to  his  mother,  he  sat  on  her  knees  till  noon, 

21  and  then  died.  And  she  went  up,  and  laid  him  on 
the  bed  of  the  man  of  God,  and  shut  the  door  upon 

22  him,  and  went  out.  And  she  called  unto  her  hus- 
band, and  said,  Send  me,  I  pray  thee,  one  of  the  serv- 
ants, and  one  of  the  asses,  that  I  may  run  to  the 

23  man  of  God,  and  come  again.  And  he  said,  Where- 
fore wilt  thou  go  to  him  to-day?  it  is  neither  new 
moon  nor  sabbath.     And  she  said,  ^It  shall  be  well. 

24  Then  she  saddled  an  ass,  and  said  to  her  servant. 
Drive,  and  go  forward;  slacken  me  not  the  riding, 

25  except  I  bid  thee.  So  she  went,  and  came  unto  the 
man  of  God  to  mount  Car'mel.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  man  of  God  saw  her  afar  off,  that  he  said 
to  Ge-ha'zi  his  servant.  Behold,  yonder  is  the  Shu' 

26  nam-mite :  run,  I  pray  thee,  now  to  meet  her,  and 
say  unto  her.  Is  it  well  with  thee  ?  is  it  well  with 
thy  husband?  is  it  well  with  the  child?     And  she 

27  answered,  It  is  well.  And  when  she  came  to  the 
man  of  God  to  the  hill,  she  caught  hold  of  his  feet 
And  Ge-ha'zi  came  near  to  thrust  her  away;  but  the 
man  of  God  said.  Let  her  alone :  for  her  soul  is 
Vexed  within  her;  and  the  Lord  hath  hid  it  from 

28  me,  and  hath  not  told  me.  Then  she  said.  Did  I  de- 
sire a  son  of  my  lord  ?  did  I  not  say,  Do  not  deceive 

29  me  ?  Then  he  said  to  Ge-ha'zi,  Gird  up  thy  loins, 
and  take  my  staff  in  thine  hand,  and  go  thy  way : 
if  thou  meet  any  man,  salute  him  not;  and  if  any 
salute  thee,  answer  him    not    again :    and    lay    my 

30  staff  upon  the  face  of  the  child.  And  the  mother  of 
the  child  said,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul 
liveth,  I  will  not  leave  thee.     And  he  aro.se,  and  fol- 

31  lowed  her.  And  Ge-ha'zi  passed  on  before  them,  and 
laid  the  staff  upon  the  fece  of  the  child ;  but  there 
was  neither  voice,  nor  'hearing.  Wherefore  he  re- 
turned to  meet  him,  and  told  him,  saying.  The  child 

32  is  not  awaked.  And  when  E-li'sha  was  come  into 
the  house,  behold,  the  child  was  dead,  and  laid  upon 

33  his  bed.     He  went  in  therefore,  and  shut  the  door  up- 

34  on  them  twain,  and  prayed  unto  the  Lord.  And  he 
went  up,  and  lay  upon  the  child,  and  put  his  mouth 
upon  his  mouth,  and  his  eyes  ujwn  nis  eyes,  and 
his  hands  upon  his  hands:  and  he  'stretched  himself 
upon  him;  and  the  flesh  of  the  child  waxed  warm.

35  Thea  iie  returned,  and  waiKed  m  tiie  nouse  fto  and 
fro;  and  went  up,  ""and  stretciied  himself  upon  him:  and 
the  child  sneezed  seven  times,  and  the  jhild  opened  his 
eyes. 

36  And  he  called  Ge-ha'zi,and  said,  Call  this  Shu'nam-mite. 
So  he  called  her.  And  when  she  was  come  in  unto  him,  he 
said,  Take  up  thy  son. 

37  Then  she  went  in,  and  fell  at  his  feet,  and  bowed  her- 
self to  the  ground,  and  'took  up  her  son,  and  went  out. 

38  ^And  E-li'sha  came  again  to  "Gil'gal :  and  there  was 
a  "'dearth  in  the  land ;  and  the  sons  of  the  prophets  were 
"sitting  before  him :  and  he  said  unto  his  servant.  Set 
on  the  great  pot,  and  seethe  pottage  for  the  sons  of  the 
prophets. 

39  And  one  went  out  into  the  field  to  gather  herbs,  and 
found  a  wild  ^nne,  and  gathered  thereof  wild  gourds  his  lap 
full,  and  came  and  shred  them  into  the  pot  of  pottage :  for 
they  knew  them  not. 

40  So  they  poured  out  for  the  men  to  eat.  And  it  came 
to  paiBS,  as  they  were  eating  of  the  pottage,  that  they  cried 
out,  and  said,  O  thou  man  of  God,  there  is  "death  in  th-;  pot. 
And  they  could  not  eat  thereof. 

41  But  he  said.  Then  bring  meaL  And  "he  cast  it  into 
the  pot ;  and  he  said.  Pour  out  for  the  people,  that  they 
may  eat.     And  there  was  no  fharm  in  th    pot. 

42  5[And  there  came  a  man  from  '•Ba'al-sbal'i-sha,  'and 
brought  the  man  of  God  bread  of  t!ie  firstirr-'ts,  twenty  loaves 
of  barley,  and  full  ears  of  corn  |  in  the  usk  thereof.  And 
he  said,  Give  unto  the  people,  that  they  may  eat. 

43  And  his  servitor  said,  ''What,  should  I  set  this  before 
a  hundred  men?  He  said  again.  Give  the  people,  that 
they  may  eat :  for  thus  saith  the  LoKD,  *They  shall  eat,  and 
shall  leave  thereof. 

44  So  he  set  it  before  them,  and  they  did  eat,  •'and  left 
thereof,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER   V. 

Naamar^is  sent  to  Samaria  to  be  cured  of  his  leprosy. 

"VTOW  "Xa'a-man,  captain  of  the  host  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a, 
-1-1  was  ''a  great  man  f  with  his  master,  and  '|  fhonourable,  be- 
cause by  him  the  Lord  had  given  ||  dcaverance  unto  Syr'i-a : 
he  was  also  a  mighty  man  in  valour,  but  he  was  a  leper. 

2  And  the  Syr'i-ans  had  gone  out  by  companies,  and  had 
brought  aM'ay  captive  out  of  the  land  of  Is'ra-el  a  little  maid ; 
and  she  fwaited  on  Na'a-man's  wife. 

3  And  she  said  unto  her  mistress.  Would  God  my  lord 
were  fwith  the  prophet  that  is  in  Sa-ma'ri-a !  lor  he  would 
frecover  him  of  his  leprosy. 

4  And  one  went  in,  and  told  his  lord,  saying.  Thus  and 
thus  said  the  maid  that  is  of  the  land  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  said,  Go  to,  go,  and  I  will  send 
a  letter  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he  departed,  and 
''took  fwith  him  ten  talents  of  silver,  and  six  thousand 
pieces  of  gold,  and  ten  changes  of  raiment. 

6  And  he  brought  the  letter  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  saying, 
Now  when  this  letter  is  come  unto  thee,  behold,  I  have 
theretcith  sent  Na'a-man  my  servant  to  thee,  that  thou  mayest 
recover  him  of  his  leprosy. 

7  And  It  came  to  pass,  when  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  had  read 
the  letter,  that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  said.  Am  I  ''God,  to 
kill  and  to  make  alive,  that  this  man  doth  send  unto  me  to 
recover  a  man  of  his  leprosy  ?  Wherefore  consider,  I  pray 
you,  and  see  how  he  seeketh  a  quarrel  against  me. 

8  51  And  it  Avas  so,  when  E-li'sha  the  man  of  God  had  heard 
that  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  had  rent  his  clothes,  that  he  sent  to 
the  king,  saying,  "Wherefore  ha.st  thou  rent  thy  clothes?  let 
him  come  now  to  me,  and  he  shall  know  that  there  is  a 
prophet  in  Is'ra-el. 

9  So  Na'a-man  came  with  his  horses  and  with  his  chariot, 
and  stood  at  the  door  of  the  house  of  E-li'sha. 


35  Then  he  returned,  and  waifced  in  the  nouse  once  to 
and  fro ;  and  went  up,  and  ^stretched  himself  upon 
him:  'and  the  child  sneezed  seven  times,  and  the 

36  child  opened  his  eyes.  And  he  called  Gre-ha'zi,  and 
said.  Call  this  Shu'nam-mite.  So  he  called  her.  And 
when  she  was  come  in  unto  him,  he  said.  Take  up 

37  thy  son.  Then  she  went  in,  and  fell  at  his  feet,  and 
bowed  herself  to  the  ground ;  and  she  took  up  her 
son,  and  went  out. 

38  And  E-li'sha  came  again  to  Gil'gal :  and  there  was 
a  dearth  in  the  land ;  and  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
were  sitting  before  him :  and  he  said  unto  his  serv- 
ant. Set   on  the  great  pot,  and   seethe   pottage  for 

39  the  sons  of  the  prophets.  And  one  went  out  into 
the  field  to  gather  herbs,  and  found  a  wild  vine,  and 
gathered  thereof  wild  gourds  his  lap  full,  and  came 
and  shred  them  into  the  pot  of  pottage :  for  they 

40  knew  them  not.  So  they  poured  out  for  the  men  to 
eat.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  were  eating  of 
the  pottage,  that  th6y  cried  out,  and  said,  O  man  of 
God,  there  is  death  in  the  pot.     And  they  could  not 

41  eat  thereof.  But  he  said.  Then  bring  meal.  And 
he  cast  it  into  the  pot ;  and  he  said.  Pour  out  for 
the  people,  that  they  may  eat.  And  there  was  no 
%arm  in  the  pot. 

42  And  there  came  a  man  from  Ba'al-shal'i-shah,  and 
brought  the  man  of  God  bread  of  the  first-fruits, 
twenty  loaves  of  barley,  and  fresh  ears  of  corn  in 
*his  sack.     And  he  said,  Give  unto  the  people,  that 

43  they  may  eat.  And  his  "servant  said.  What,  should 
I  set  this  before  an  hundred  men?  But  he  said. 
Give  the  people,  that  they  may  eat;  for  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  They  shall  eat,  and  shall  leave  thereof. 

44  So  he  set  it  before  them,  and  they  did  eat,  and  left 
thereof,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

0  Now  Na'a-man,  captain  of  the  host  of  the  king  of 
Syr'i-a,  was  a  great  man  'with  his  master,  and  honour- 
able,-because  by  him  the  Lord  had  given  'victory 
unto  Syr'i-a :  he  was  also  a  mighty  man  of  valour, 

2  but  he  was  a  leper.  And  the  Syr'i-ans  had  gone  out 
in  bands,  and  had  brought  away  captive  out  of  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el  a  little  maid;    and  she  'waited  on 

3Na'a-man's  wife.  And  she  said  unto  her  mistress. 
Would  God  my  lord  were  *with  the  prophet  that  is 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a!  then  would  he  recover  him  of  his  leprosy 

4  And  'one  went  in,  and  told  his  lord,  saying.  Thus 
and  thus  said  the  maid  that  is  of  the  land  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  said,  Go  to,  go,  and  I  will 
send  a  letter  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he  de- 
parted, and  took  with  him  ten  talents  of  silver,  and 
six   thousand  ^"pieees  of  gold,  and  ten  changes  of 

6  raiment.  And  he  brought  the  letter  to  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying.  And  now  when  this  letter  is  come 
unto  thee,  behold,  I  have  sent  Na'a-man  my  servant 
to  thee,  that  thou  mayest  recover  him  of  his  leprosy. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  had 
read  the  letter,  that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  said.  Am 
I  God,  to  kill  and  to  make  alive,  that  this  man  doth 
send  unto  me  to  recover  a  man  of  his  leprosy  ?  but 
consider,  I  pray  you,  and  see  how  he  seeketh  "a  quar- 

8  rel  against  me.  And  it  was  so,  when  E-li'sha  the  man 
of  God  heard  that  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  had  rent  his 
clothes,  that  he  sent  to  the  king,  saying,  Wherefore 
hast  thou  rent  thy  clothes?  let  him  come  now  to 
me,  and  he  shall  know  that  there  is  a  prophet  in  Is'- 

9  ra-el.  So  Na'a-man  came  with  his  horses  and  with  his 
chariots,aad  stood  at  the  door  of  the  house  of  E-li'sha.

10  And  E-li'sha  sent  a  messenger  unto  nim,  saying,  Go 
and  'wash  in  Jor'dan  seven  times,  and  thy  flesh  shall  come 
again  to  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  clean. 

11  But  Na'a-man  was  wroth,  and  went  away,  and  said.  Be- 
hold, til  I  thought  he  will  surely  come  out  to  me,  and  stand, 
and  call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord  his  God,  and  fstrike  his 
hand  over  the  place,  and  recover  the  leper. 

12  Are  not  jj  Ab'a-na  and  Phar'par,  rivers  of  Da-mas'cus, 
better  than  all  the  waters  of  Is'ra-el?  may  I  not  wash  in 
them,  and  be  clean  ?     So  he  turned  and  went  away  in  a  rage. 

13  And  his  servants  came  near,  and  spake  unto  him,  and 
said.  My  fether,  »/  the  prophet  had  bid  thee  do  some  great 
thing,  wouldest  thou  not  have  done  it?  how  much  rather 
then,  when  he  saith  to  thee,  Wash,  and  be  clean  ? 

14  Then  went  he  down,  and  dipped  himself  seven  times 
in  Jor'dan,  according  to  the  saying  of  the  man  of  God:  and 
■Oiis  flesh  came  again  like  unto  the  flesh  of  a  little  child,  and 
"he  was  clean. 

15  ^And  he  returned  to  the  man  of  God,  he  and  all  his 
company,  and  came,  and  stood -before  him:  and  he  said. 
Behold,  now  I  know  that  there  is  'no  God  in  all  the  earth, 
but  in  Is'ra-el :  now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  take  'a  blessing 
of  thy  servant. 

16  But  he  said,  *As  the  Lord  liveth,  before  whom  I  stand, 
'I  will  receive  none.  And  he  urged  him  to  take  it;  but  he 
refused. 

17  And  Na'a-man  said,  Shall  there  not  then,  I  pray  thee, 
be  given  to  tiiy  servant  two  mules'  burden  of  earth  ?  for  thy 
servant  will  henceforth  offer  neither  burnt  offering  nor 
sacrifice  unto  other  gods,  but  unto  the  Lord. 

18  In  this  thing  the  Lord  pardon  thy  servant,  that  when 
my  master  goeth  into  the  house  of  Rim'mon  to  worship 
there,  and  ""he  leaneth  on  my  hand,  and  I  bow  myself 
in  the  house  of  Rim'mon :  when  I  bow  down  myself  in 
the  house  of  Rim'mon,  the  Lord  pardon  thy  servant  in  this 
thing. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him.  Go  in  peace.  So  he  departed 
from  him  fa  little  way. 

20  %  But  Ge-ha'zi,  the  servant  of  E-li'sha  the  man  of  God, 
said.  Behold,  my  master  hath  spared  Na'a-man  this  Syr'i-an, 
in  not  receiving  at  his  hands  that  which  he  brought :  but, 
as  the  Lord  liveth,  I  will  run  after  him,  and  take  somewhat 
of  him. 

21  So  Ge-ha'zi  followed  after  Na'a-man.  And  when  Na'a- 
man  saw  him  running  after  him,  he  lighted  down  from  the 
chariot  to  meet  him,  and  said,  fis  all  well? 

22  And  he  said.  All  is  well.  My  master  hath  sent  me, 
saying,  Behold,  even  now  there  be  come  to  me  from  mount 
E'phra-im  two  young  men  of  the  sons  of  the  prophets :  give 
them,  I  pray  thee,  a  talent  of  silver,  and  two  changes  of 
garments. 

23  And  Na'a-man  said,  Be  content,  take  two  talents.  And 
he  urged  him,  and  bound  two  talents  of  silver  in  two  bags, 
with  two  changes  of  garments,  and  laid  them  upon  two  of 
his  servants;  and  they  bare  them  before  him. 

24  And  when  he  came  to  the  ||  tower,  he  took  them  from 
their  hand,  and  bestowed  them  in  the  house :  and  he  let  the 
men  go,  and  they  departed. 

25  But  he  went  in,  and  stood  before  his  master.  And 
E-li'sha  said  unto  him.  Whence  comest  thou,  Ge-ha'zi  ?  And 
he  said,  Thy  servant  went  fno  whither. 

26  And  he  said  unto  him,  Went  not  mine  heart  with  thee, 
when  the  man  turned  again  from  his  chariot  to  meet  thee? 
Is  it  a  time  to  receive  money,  and  to  receive  garments,  and 
oliveyards,  and  vineyards,  and  sheep,  and  oxen,  and  men- 
servants,  and  maidservants? 

27  The  leprosy  therefore  of  Na'a-man  "shall  cleave  unto 
thee  and  unto  thy  seed  for  ever.  And  he  went  out  from  his 
presence  "&  leper  as  white  as  snow. 


10  And  E-li'sha  sent  a  messenger  unto  him,  saying,  Go 
and  wash  in  Jor'dan  seven  times,  and  thy  flesh  shall 

11  come  again  to  thee,  and  Hhou  shalt  be  clean.  But 
Na'a-man  was  wroth,  and  went  away,  and  said.  Be- 
hold, I  thought.  He  will  surely  come  out  to  me,  and 
stand,  and  call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord  his  God, 
and  wave  his  hand  over  the  place,  and  recover  the 

12  leper.  Are  not  ^Ab'a-nah  and  Phar'par,  the  rivers 
of  Da-mas'cus,  better  than  all  the  waters  of  Is'ra-el  ? 
may  I  not  wash   in   them,  and  be  clean?     So   he 

13  turned  and  went  away  in  a  rage.  And  his  servants 
came  near,  and  spake  unto  him,  and  said.  My  father, 
if  the  prophet  had  bid  thee  do  some  great  thing, 
wouldest  thou  not  have  done  it?  how  much  rather 
then,  when  he  saith  to  thee.  Wash,  and  be  clean? 

14  Then  went  he  down,  and  dipped  himself  seven  times 
in  Jor'dan,  according  to  the  saying  of  the  man  of 
God :  and  his  flesh  came  again  like  unto  the  flesh  of 

15  a  little  child,  and  he  was  clean.  And  he  returned  to 
the  man  of  God,  he  and  all  his  company,  and  came, 
and  stood  before  him:  and  he  said.  Behold  now,  I 
know  that  there  is  no  God  in  all  the  earth,  but  in 
Is'ra-el:  now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  take  a  'present 

16  of  thy  servant.  But  he  said,  as  the  Lord  liveth, 
before  whom  I  stand,  I  will  receive  none.     And  he 

17  urged  him  to  take  it ;  but  he  refused.  And  Na'a-man 
said.  If  not,  yet  I  pray  thee  let  there  be  given  to 
thy  servant  two  mules'  burden  of  earth;  for  thy 
servant  will  henceforth  offer  neither  burnt  offering 
nor  sacrifice  unto  other  gods,  but  unto  the  Lord. 

18 In  this  thing  the  Lord  pardon  thy  servant;  when 
my  master  goeth  into  the  house  of  Rim'mon  to  wor 
ship  there,  and  he  leaneth  on  my  hand,  and  I  bow 
myself  in  the  house  of  Rim'mon,  when  I  bow  myself 
in   the   house   of  Rim'mon,  the  Lord  pardon   thy 

19  servant  in  this  thing.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Go  in 
peace.     So  he  departed  from  him  *a  little  way. 

20  But  Ge-ha'zi,  the  servant  of  E-li'sha  the  man  of 
God,  said.  Behold,  my  master  hath  spared  this  Na'a- 
man  the  Syr'i-an,  in  not  receiving  at  his  hands  that 
which  he  brought:  as  the  Lord  liveth,  I  will  run 

21  after  him,  and  take  somewhat  of  him.  So  Ge-ha'zi 
followed  after  Na'a-man.  And  when  Na'a-man  saw 
one  running  after  him,  he  lighted  down  from  the 

22  chariot  to  meet  him,  and  said.  Is  all  well  ?  And  he 
said.  All  is  well.  My  master  hath  sent  me,  saying. 
Behold,  even  now  there  be  come  to  me  from  the  hill 
country  of  E'phra-im  two  young  men  of  the  sons  of 
the  prophets;  give  them,  I  pray   thee,  a  talent  of 

23  silver,  and  two  changes  of  raiment.  And  Na'a-man 
said,  be  content,  take  two  talents.  And  he  urged 
him,  and  bound  two  talents  of  silver  in  two  bags, 
with  two  changes  of  raiment,  and  laid  them  upon  two 

24  of  his  servants ;  and  they  bare  them  before  him.  And 
when  he  came  to  the  'hill,  he  took  them  from  their 
hand,  and  bestowed  them  in  the  house :  and  he  let 

25  the  men  go,  and  they  departed.  But  he  went  in, 
and  stood  before  his  master.  And  E-li'sha  said  unto 
him.  Whence  comest  thou,  Ge-ha'zi?     And  he  said, 

26  Thy  servant  went  no  whither.  And  he  said  unto 
him,  'Went  not  mine  heart  with  thee  when  the  man 
turned  again  from  his  chariot  to  meet  thee  ?  Is  it  a 
time  to  receive  money,  and  to  receive  garments,  and 
oliveyards  and  vineyards,  and  sheep  and  oxen,  and 

27  menservants  and  maidservants  ?  The  leprosy  there- 
fore of  Na'a-man  shall  cleave  unto  thee,  and  unto  thy 
seed  for  ever.  And  he  went  out  from  his  presence  a 
leper  as  white  as  snow.

CHAPTER  VI. 

The  army  which  was  sent  to  apprehend  Elisha  is  smitten  with  blindness. 

AND  "the   sons  of  the  prophets  said  unto  E-li'sha,  Be- 
hold now,  the  place  where  we  dwell  with  thee  is  too  strait 
for  us. 

2  Let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  unto  Jor'dan,  and  take  thence 
every  man  a  beam,  and  let  us  make  us  a  place  there,  where 
we  may  dwell.     And  he  answered.  Go  ye. 

3  And  one  said.  Be  content,  I  pray  thee,  and  go  with  thy 
servants.     And  he  answered,  I  will  go. 

4  So  he  went  with  them.  And  when  they  came  to  Jor'dan, 
they  cut  down  wood. 

5  But  as  one  was  felling  a  beam,  the  faxe  head  fell  into 
the  water :  and  he  cried,  and  said,  Alas,  master !  for  it  was 
borrowed. 

6  And  the  man  of  God  said,  Where  fell  it?  And  he 
shewed  him  the  place.  And  ''he  cut  down  a  stick,  and  cast 
it  in  thither ;  and  the  iron  did  swim. 

7  Therefore  said  he.  Take  it  up  to  thee.  And  he  put  out 
his  hand,  and  took  it. 

8  ^Then  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  warred  against  Is'ra-el,  and  took 
counsel  with  his  servants,  saying,  In  such  and  such  a  place 
shall  be  my  ||camp. 

9  And  the  man  of  God  sent  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  say- 
ing, Beware  that  thou  pass  not  such  a  place ;  for  thither  the 
Syr'i-aus  are  come  down. 

10  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  sent  to  the  place  which  the  man 
of  God  told  him  and  warned  him  of,  and  saved  himself  there, 
not  once  nor  twice. 

11  Therefore  the  heart  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  was  sore 
troubled  for  this  thing ;  and  he  called  his  servants,  and  said 
unto  them.  Will  ye  not  shew  me  which  of  us  is  for  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el? 

12  And  one  of  his  servants  said,  fNone,  my  lord,  O  king: 
but  E-li'sha,  the  prophet  that  is  in  Is'ra-el,  telleth  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el  the  words  that  thou  speakest  in  thy  bedchamber. 

13  ^And  he  said,  Go  and  spy  where  he  is,  that  I  may 
send  and  fetch  him.  And  it  was  told  him,  saying.  Behold, 
he  is  in  "Do'than. 

14  Therefore  sent  he  thither  horses,  and  chariots,  and  a 
tgreat  host:  and  they  came  by  night,  and  compassed  the 
city  about. 

15  And  when  the  ||  servant  of  the  man  of  God  was  risen 
early,  and  gone  forth,  behold,  a  host  compassed  the  city 
both  with  horses  and  chariots.  And  his  servant  said  unto 
him,  Alas,  my  master!  how  shall  we  do? 

16  And  he  answered.  Fear  not :  for  ''they  that  be  with  us 
cure  more  than  they  that  be  with  them. 

17  And  E-li'sha  prayed,  and  said.  Lord,  I  pray  thee,  open 
his  eyes,  that  he  may  see.  And  the  Lord  opened  the  eyes 
of  the  young  man ;  and  he  saw :  and,  behold,  the  mountain 
was  full  of  'horses  and  chariots  of  fire  round  about  E-li'sha. 

18  And  when  they  came  down  to  him,  E-li'sha  prayed  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  Smite  this  people,  I  pray  thee,  with 
blindness.  And  -^he  smote  them  with  blindness  according 
to  the  Avord  of  E-li'sha. 

19  T[And  E-li'sha  said  unto  them,  This  is  not  the  way, 
neither  is  this  the  city :  ffollow  me,  and  I  will  bring  you  to 
the  man  whom  ye  seek.     But  he  led  them  to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  were  come  into 
Sa-ma'ri-a,  that  E-li'sha  said.  Lord,  open  the  eyes  of  these 
men,  that.they  may  see.  And  the  Lord  opened  their  eyes, 
and  they  saw ;  and,  behold,  they  were  in  the  raidst  of  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

21  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  E-li'sha,  when  he  saw 
them,  My  father,  shall  I  smite  tliemf  shall  I  smite  themf 

22  And  he  answered,  Thou  shalt  not  smite  them :  wouldest 
thou  smite  those  whom  thou  hast  taken  captive  with  thy 
sword  and  with  thy  bow  ?  "set  bread  and  water  before  them, 
that  they  may  eat  and  drink,  and  go  to  their  master. 


^  And  the  sons  of  the  prophets  said  unto  E-li'sha, 
Behold  now,  the  place  where  we  dwell  before  thee 

2  is  too  strait  for  us.  Let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  unto 
Jor'dan,  and  take  thence  every  man  a  beam,  and  let 
us  make  us  a  place  there,  where  we  may  dwell.     And 

3  he  answered,  Go  ye.  And  one  said.  Be  content,  I 
•pray  thee,  and  go  with  thy  servants.     And  he  an- 

4swered,  I  will  go.  So  he  went  with  them.  And 
when  they  came  to  Jor'dan,  they  cut  down  wood. 

5  But  as  one  was  felling  a  beam,  the  axe-head  fell 
into   the  water:   and  he  cried,  and  said,  Alas,  my 

6 master!  for  it  was  borrowed.  And  the  man 
of  God  said.  Where  fell  it?  And  he  shewed  him 
the  place.     And   he  cut   down   a  stick,  and  ca-st  it 

7  in  thither,  and  'made  the  iron  to  swim.  And  he 
said.  Take  it  up  to  thee.  So  he  put  out  his  hand, 
and  took  it. 

8  Now  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  warred  against  Is'ra-el ;  and 
he  took  counsel  with  his  servants,  saying.  In  such 

9  and  such  a  place  shall  be  my  ^camp.  And  the  man 
of  God  sent  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  Beware 
that   thou  pass   not  such   a   place ;    for  thither  the 

lOSyr'i-ans  are  coming  down.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
sent  to  the  place  which  the  man  of  God  told  him 
and  warned  him  of;  and  he  saved  himself  there,  not 

11  once  nor  twice.  And  the  heart  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a 
was  sore  troubled  for  this  thing;  and  he  called  his 
servants,  and  said  unto  them,  Will  ye  not  shew  me 

12  which  of  us  is  for  the  king  of  Is'ra-el?  And  one  of 
his  servants  said.  Nay,  my  lord,  O  king :  but  E-li'sha, 
the  prophet  that  is  in  Is'ra-el,  telleth  the  king  r  f  Is'ra-el 
the  words  that  thou  speakest  in  thy  bedchamber, 

13  And  he  said.  Go  and  see  where  he  is,  that  I  may 
send  and  fetch  him.     And  it  was  told  him,  saying 

14  Behold,  he  is  in  Do'than.  Therefore  sent  he  thither 
horses,  and  chariots,  and  a  great  host :  and  they  came 

15  by  night,  and  compassed  the  city  about.  And  when 
the  'servant  of  the  man  of  God  was  risen  eaxly,  and 
gone  forth,  behold,  an  host  with  horses  and  chariots 
was  round  about  the  city.     And  his  servant  said 

16 unto  him,  Alas,  my  master!  how  shall  we  do?  And 
he  answered.  Fear  not :  for  they  that  be  with  us  are 

17  more  than  they  that  be  with  them.  And  E-li'sha 
prayed,  and  said.  Lord,  I  pray  thee,  open  his  eyes, 
that  he  may  see.  And  the  Lord  opened  the  eyes 
of  the  young  man ;  and  he  saw :  and,  behold,  the 
mountain   was   full   of  horses  and   chariots   of  fire 

18  round  about  E-li'sha.  And  when  they  came  down  to 
him,  E-li'sha  prayed  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  Smite 
this  ^people,  I  pray  thee,  with  blindness.  And  he 
smote  them  with   blindness  according  to  the  word 

19  of  E-li'sha.  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  them.  This  is  not 
the  way,  neither  is  this  the  city :  follow  me,  and  I 
will  bring  you  to  the  man  whom  ye  seek.     And  he 

20  led  them  to  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  come  into  Sa-ma'ri-a,  that  E-Ii'sha  said, 
Lord,  open  the  eyes  of  these  men,  that  they  may 
see.  And  the  Lord  opened  their  eyes,  and  they 
saw;  and,  behold,  they  were  in  the  midst  of  Sa- 

21  ma'ri-a.  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  E-li'sha, 
when  he  saw  them.  My  father,  shall  I  smite  them? 

22  shall  I  smite  them?  And  he  answered.  Thou 
shalt  not  smite  them :  wouldest  thou  smite  those 
whom  thou  hast  taken  captive  with  thy  sword  and 
with  thy  bow?  set  bread  and  water  before  them,  that 
they  may  eat  and  drink,  and  go  to  their  master.

23  And  he  prepared  great  provision  for  them:  and  when 
they  had  eaten  and  drunk,  he  sent  them  away,  and  they 
went  to  their  master.  So  Hhe  bands  of  Syr'i-a  came  no  more 
into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  ^And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Ben-ha'dad  king 
of  Syr'i-a  gathered  all  his  host,  and  went  up,  and  besieged 
Sa-ma'ri-a. 

25  And  there  was  a  great  famine  in  Sa-ma'ri-a:  and,  behold, 
they  besieged  it,  until  an  ass's  head  was  sold  for  fourscore 
pieces  of  silver,  and  the  fourth  part  of  a  cab  of  dove's  dung 
for  five  pieces  of  silver. 

26  And  as  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  was  passing  by  upon  the  wall, 
there  cried  a  woman  unto  him,  saying,  Help,  my  lord,  O  king. 

27  And  he  said,  ||If  the  Lord  do  not  help  thee,  whence 
shall  I  help  thee  ?  out  of  the  barnfloor,  or  out  of  the  wine- 
press? 

28  And  the  king  said  unto  her,  What  aileth  thee  ?  And  she 
answered.  This  woman  said  unto  me.  Give  thy  son,  that  we 
may  eat  him  to-day,  and  we  will  eat  my  son  to-morrow. 

29  So  'we  boiled  my  son,  and  did  eat  him :  and  I  said 
unto  her  on  the  fnext  day.  Give  thy  son,  that  we  may  eat 
him :  and  she  hath  hid  her  son. 

30  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  tbe  king  heard  the  words 
of  the  woman,  that  he  *rent  his  lothes;  and  he  passed  by 
upon  the  wall,  and  the  people  looked,  and,  behold,  he  had 
sackcloth  within  upon  his  flesh. 

31  Then  he  said, 'God  do  so  and  more  also  to  me,  if  the 
head  of  E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'phat  shall  stand  on  him  this  day. 

32  But  E-li'sha  sat  in  his  house,  and  "the  elders  sat  with 
him ;  and  the  king  sent  a  man  from  before  him :  but  ere  the 
messenger  came  to  him,  he  said  to  the  elders,  "See  ye  how 
this  son  of  °a  murderer  hath  sent  to  take  away  mine  head? 
look,  when  the  messenger  cometh,  shut  the  door,  and  hold 
him  fast  at  the  door:  is  not  the  sound  of  his  master's  feet 
behind  him? 

33  And  while  he  yet  talked  with  them,  behold,  the  messenger 
came  down  unto  him :  and  he  said.  Behold,  this  evil  is  of  the 
Lord;  "what  should  I  wait  for  the  Lord  any  longer? 

CHAPTER   VII. 

EHsha  prophesieth  incredible  plenty  in  Samaria, 

THEN  E-li'sha  said.  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  "To-morrow  about  this  time  shall  a 
measure  of  fine  flour  he  sold  for  a  shekel,  and  two  measures 
of  barley  for  a  shekel,  in  the  gate  of  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

2  ''Then  fa  lord  on  whose  hand  the  king  leaned  answered 
the  man  of  God,  and  said.  Behold,  'if  the  Lord  would 
make  windows  in  heaven,  might  this  thing  be?  And  he 
said.  Behold,  thou  shalt  see  it  with  thine  eyes,  but  shalt  not 
eat  thereof. 

3  ^And  there  were  four  leprous  men  ''at  the  entering  in 
of  the  gate :  and  they  said  one  to  another,  Why  sit  we  here 
until  we  die? 

4  If  we  say.  We  will  enter  into  the  city,  then  the  famine  is 
in  the  city,  and  we  shall  die  there :  and  if  we  sit  still  here, 
we  die  also.  Now  therefore  come,  and  let  us  fall  unto  the 
host  of  the  Syr'i-ans  :  if  they  save  us  alive,  we  shall  live ;  and 
if  they  kill  us,  we  shall  but  die. 

5  And  they  rose  up  in  the  twilight  to  go  unto  the  camp 
of  the  Syr'i-ans:  and  when  they  were  come  to  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  camp  of  Syr'i-a,  behold,  there  was  no  man  there. 

6  For  the  Lord  had  made  the  host  of  the  Syr'i-ans  'to  hear 
a  noise  of  chariots,  and  a  noise  of  horses,  even  the  noise  of 
a  great  host :  and  they  said  one  to  another,  Lo,  the  king  of 
Is^-el  hath  hired  against  us  ■'^the  kings  of  the  Hit'tites,  and 
the  kings  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  to  come  upon  us. 

7  Wherefore  they  "arose  and  fled  in  the  twilight,  and  left 
their  tents,  and  their  horses,  and  their  asees,  even  the  camp 
as  it  icas,  and  fled  for  their  life. 

8  And  when  these  lepers  came  to  the  uttermost  part  of  the 


23  And  he  prepared  great  provision  for  them :  and  when 
they  had  eaten  and  drunk,  he  sent  them  away,  and 
they  went  to  their  master.  And  the  bands  of  Syr'i-a 
came  no  more  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Ben-ha'dad 
king  of  Syr'i-a  gathered  all  his  host,  and  went  up,  and 

25  besieged  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And  there  was  a  great  famine 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a :  and,  behold,  they  besieged  it,  until  an 
ass's  head  was  sold  for  fourscore  ^pieces  of  silver, 
and  the  fourth  part  of  a  kab  of  dove's  dung  for  five 

26'pjece«  of  silver.  And  as  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  was 
passing  by  upon  the  wall,  there  cried  a  woman  unto 

27  him,  saying.  Help,  my  lord,  O  king.  And  he  said, 
^If  the  Lord  do  not  help  thee,  whence  shall  I  help 
thee  ?  out  of  the  threshing-floor,  or  out  of  the  wine- 

28 press?  And  the  king  said  unto  her,  What  aileth 
thee?  And  she  answered.  This  woman  said  unto 
me.  Give  thy  son,  that  we  may  eat  him  to-day,  and 

29  we  will  eat  my  son  to-morrow.  So  we  boiled  my 
son,  and  did  eat  him:  and  I  said  unto  her  on  the 
next  day,  Give  thy  son,  that  we  may  eat  him ;  and 

30  she  hath  hid  her  son.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  king  heard  the  words  of  the  woman,  that  he 
rent  his  clothes ;  (now  he  was  passing  by  upon  the 
wall ;)  and   the  people   looked,  and,  behold,  he  had 

31  sackcloth  within  upon  his  flesh.  Then  he  said, 
God  do  so  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  the  head  of 
E-li'sha  the  son  of  Sha'phat  shall  stand  on  him  this 

32  day.  But  E-li'sha  sat  in  his  house,  and  the  elders 
sat  with  him ;  and  the  Idng  sent  a  man  from  before 
him :  but  ere  the  messenger  came  to  him,  he  said  to 
the  elders.  See  ye  how  this  son  of  a  murderer  hath 
sent  to  take  away  mine  head?  look,  when  the 
messenger  cometh,  shut  the  door,  and  ^hold  the 
door    fast    against   him:    is   not   the   sound    of  his 

33  master's  feet  behind  him  ?  And  while  he  yet  talked 
with  them,  behold,  the  messenger  came  down  unto 

7  him :  and  he  said.  Behold,  this  evil  is  of  the  Lord  ; 
why  should  I  wait  for  the  Lord  any  longer?  And 
E-li'sha  said.  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord:  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  To-morrow  about  this  time  shall  a 
^measure  of  fine  flour  be  sold  for  a  shekel,  and  two 
measures  of  barley  for  a  shekel,  in  the  gate  of  Sa- 

2  ma'ri-a.  Then  the  captain  on  who.se  hand  the  king 
leaned  answered  the  man  of  God,  and  said.  Behold, 
if  the  Lord  should  make  windows  in  heaven,  might 
this  thing  be?  And  he  said,  Behold,  thou  shalt  see 
it  with  thine  eyes,  but  shalt  not  eat  thereof. 

3  Now  there  were  four  leprous  men  at  the  entering 
in  of  the  gate :  and  they  said  one  to  another.  Why 

4 sit  we  here  until  we  die?  If  we  say,  We  will  enter 
into  the  city,  then  the  famine  is  in  the  city,  and  we 
shall  die  there:  and  if  we  sit  still  here,  we  die  also. 
Now  therefore  come,  and  let  us  fell  unto  the  host 
of  the  Syr'i-ans:  if  they  save  us  alive,  we  shall  live; 

5  and  if  they  kill  u.s,  we  shall  but  die.  And  they 
rose  up  in  the  twilight,  to  go  unto  the  camp  of  the 
Syr'i-ans:  and  when  they  were  come  to  the  outer- 
most part  of  the  camp  of  the  Syr'i-ans,  behold,  there 

6  was  no  man  there.  For  the  Lord  had  made  the 
host  of  the  Syr'i-ans  to  hear  a  noise  of  chariots,  and 
a  noise  of  horses,  even  the  noise  of  a  great  host:  and 
they  said  one  to  another,  Lo,  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  hath 
hired  against  us  the  kings  of  the  Hit'tites,  and  the 

7  kings  of  the  E-gyp'tians,  to  come  upon  us.  Where- 
fore they  arose  and  fled  in  the  twilight,  and  left 
their  tents,  and  their   horses,  and  their  asses,  even 

8  the  camp  as  it  was,  and  fled  for  their  life.  And

camp,  they  went  into  one  tent,  and  did  eat  and  drink,  and 
carried  thence  silver,  and  gold,  and  raiment,  and  went  and 
hid  it;  and  came  again,  and  entered  into  another  tent,  and 
carried  thence  also,  and  went  and  hid  it. 

9  Then  they  said  one  to  another,  We  do  not  well :  this  day 
is  a  day  of  good  tidings,  and  we  hold  our  peace :  if  we  tarry 
till  the  morning  light,  fsome  mischief  will  come  upon  us: 
now  therefore  come,  that  we  may  go  and  tell  the  king's 
household. 

10  So  they  came  and  called  unto  the  porter  of  the  city: 
and  they  told  them,  saying.  We  came  to  the  camp  of  the 
Syr'i-ans,  and,  behold,  there  was  no  man  there,  neither 
voice  of  man,  but  horses  tied,  and  asses  tied,  and  the  tents 
as  they  were. 

11  And  he  called  the  porters;  and  they  told  it  to  the 
king's  house  within. 

12  ^And  the  king  arose  in  ihe  night,  and  said  unto  his 
servants,  I  will  now  shew  you  what  the  Syr'i-ans  have  done 
to  us.  They  know  that  we  be  hungry ;  therefore  are  they 
gone  out  of  the  camp  to  hide  themselves  in  the  field,  saying. 
When  they  come  out  of  the  city,  we  shall  catch  them  alive, 
and  get  into  the  city. 

13  And  one  of  his  servants  answered  and  said.  Let  some 
take,  I  pray  thee,  five  of  the  horses  that  remain,  which  are 
left  fin  the  city,  (behold,  they  are  as  all  the  multitude  of 
Is'ra-el  that  are  left  in  it :  behold,  I  say,  they  are  even  as  all 
the  multitude  of  the  Is'ra-el-ites  that  are  consumed :)  and  let 
us  send  and  see. 

14  They  took  therefore  two  chariot  horses;  and  the  king 
sent  after  the  host  of  the  Syr'i-ans,  saying.  Go  and  see. 

15  And  they  went  after  them  unto  Jor'dan  :  and;,  lo,  all  the 
way  was  full  of  garments  and  vessels,  which  the  Syr'i-ans  had 
cast  away  in  their  haste.  And  the  messengers  returned,  and 
told  the  king. 

16  And  the  people  went  out,  and  spoiled  the  tents  of  the 
Syr'i-ans.  So  a  measure  of  fine  flour  was  sold  for  a  shekel, 
and  two  measures  of  barley  for  a  shekel,  'according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord. 

17  ijAnd  the  king  appointed  the  lord  on  whose  hand  he 
leaned  to  have  the  charge  of  the  gate :  and  the  people  trode 
upon  him  in  the  gate,  and  he  died,  *as  the  man  of  God  had 
said,  who  spake  when  the  king  came  down  to  him. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  as  the  man  of  God  had  spoken  to 
the  king,  saying,  'Two  measures  of  barley  for  a  shekel,  and 
a  measure  of  fine  flour  for  a  shekel,  shall  be  to-morrow 
about  this  time  in  the  gate  of  Sa-ma'ri-a : 

19  And  that  lord  answered  the  man  of  God,  and  said. 
Now,  behold,  if  the  Lord  should  make  windows  in  heaven, 
might  such  a  thing  be?  And  he  said.  Behold,  thou  shalt 
see  it  with  thine  eyes,  but  shalt  not  eat  thereof. 

20  And  so  it  fell  out  unto  him :  for  the  people  trode  upon 
him  in  the  gate,  and  he  died. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

The  Shunammite  hath  her  land  restored  by  the  king—Jehoram^s  wicked  reign, 

THEN  spake  E-li'sha  unto  the  woman,  "whose  son  he  had 
restored  to  life,  saying.  Arise,  and  go  thou  and  thine 
household,  and  sojourn  wheresoever  thou  canst  sojourn :  for 
the  Lord  'hath  called  for  a  famine ;  and  it  shall  also  come 
upon  the  land  seven  years. 

2  And  the  woman  arose,  and  did  after  the  saying  of  the 
man  of  God :  and  she  went  with  her  household,  and  so- 
journed in  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  seven  years. 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  seven  years'  end,  that  the 
woman  returned  out  of  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and 
she  went  forth  to  cry  unto  the  king  for  her  house  and  for 
her  land. 

4  And  the  king  talked  with  ''Ge-ha'zi  the  servant  of  the  man 
of  God,  saying.  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  all  the  great  things 
Ithat  E-li'sha  hath  done. 


camp,  they  went  into  one  tent,  and  did  eat  and 
drink,  and  carry  thence  silver,  and  gold,  and  rai- 
ment, and  went  and  hid  it;  and  thpy  came  back, 
and  entered  into  another  tent,  and  carried  thence 
9  also,  and  went  and  hid  it.  Then  they  said  one  to 
another,  We  do  not  well :  this  day  is  a  day  of 
good  tidings  and  we  hold  our  peace:  if  we  tarry 
till  the  morning  light,  'punishment  will  overtake  us: 
now  therefore  come,  let  us  go  and  tell  the  king's 

10  household.  So  they  came  and  called  unto  the 
^porter  of  the  city :  and  they  told  them  saying.  We 
came  to  the  camp  of  the  Syr'i-ans,  and,  behold,  there 
was  no  man  there,  neither  voice  of  man,  but  the 
horses  tied,  and  the  asses  tied,  and  the  tents  as  they 

11  were.     And 'he  called  the  porters;  and  they  told 

12  it  to  the  king's  household  within.  And  the  king 
arose  in  the  night,  and  said  unto  his  servants,  I  will 
now  shew  you  what  the  Syr'i-ans  have  done  to  us. 
They  know  that  we  be  hungry;  therefore  are  they 
gone  out  of  the  camp  to  hide  themselves  in  the  field, 
saying,  When  they  come  out  of  the  city,  we  shall 

13  take  them  alive,  and  get  into  the  city.  And  one  of 
his  servants  answered  and  said.  Let  some  take,  I 
pray  thee,  five  of  the  horses  that  remain,  which  are 
left  *in  the  city,  (behold,  they  are  as  all  the  multi- 
tude of  Is'ra-el  that  are  left  in  it;  behold,  they  are 
as  all  the  multitude  of  Is'ra-el  that  are  consumed : ) 

14  and  let  us  send  and  see.  They  took  therefore,  two 
chariots  with   horses;   and   the  king  sent  after  the 

15  host  of  the  Syr'i-ans,  saying,  Go  and  see.  And  they 
went  after  them  unto  Jor'dan :  and,  lo,  all  the  way 
was  full  of  garments  and  vessels,  which  the  Syr'i-ans 
had  ca.st  away  in  their  haste.     And  the  messengers 

16  returned,  and  told  the  king.  And  the  people  went 
out,  and  spoiled  the  camp  of  the  Syr'i-ans.  So  a 
measure  of  fine  flour  was  sold  for  a  shekel,  and  two 
measures   of  barley  for  a   shekel,  according  to  the 

17  word  of  the  Lord.  And  the  king  appointed  the 
captain  on  whose  hand  he  leaned  to  have  the 
charge  of  the  gate:  and  the  people  trode  upon 
him  in  the  gate,  and  he  died  as  the  man  of  God 
had  said,  who  spake  when  the  king  came  down  to 

18  him.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  man  of  God  had 
spoken  to  the  king,  saying,  Two  measures  of  barley 
for  a  shekel,  and  a  measure  of  fine  flour  for  a  shekel, 
shall  be  to-morrow  about  this  time  in  the  gate  of 

1 9  Sa-ma'ri-a ;  and  that  captain  answered  the  man  of 
God,  and  said.  Now,  behold,  if  the  Lord  should 
make  windows  in  heaven,  might  such  a  thing  be? 
and   he  said.  Behold,  thou  shalt  see  it  with  thine 

20  eyes  but  shalt  not  eat  thereof:  it  came  to  pass  even 
so  unto  him;  for  the  people  trode  upon  him  in  the 
gate,  and  he  died.

Now  E-li'sha  had  spoken  unto  the  woman,  whose 
son  he  had  restored  to  life,  saying.  Arise,  and  go 
thou  and  thine  household,  afld  sojourn  whereso- 
ever thou  canst  sojourn :  for  the  Lord  hath  called 
for  a  famine  ;  and  it  shall  also  come  upon  the  land 

2  seven  years.  And  the  woman  arose,  and  did  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  the  man  of  God:  and  she 
went  with  her  household,  and  sojourned  in  the  land 

3  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  seven  years.  And  it  came  to  pass 
at  the  seven  years'  end,  that  the  woman  returned 
out  of  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines :  and  she  went 
forth  to  cry  unto  the  king  for  her  house  and  for 

4  her  land.  Now  the  king  was  talking  with  Ge-ha'zi 
the  servant  of  the  man  of  God,  saying,  Tell  me,  I 
pray  thee,  all  the  great  things  that  E-li'sha  hath  done.

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  telling  the  king  how  he 
had  ''restored  a  dead -body  to  life,  that,  behold,  the  woman, 
whose  son  he  had  restored  to  life,  cried  to  the  king  for  her 
house  and  for  her  land.  And  Ge-ha'zi  said.  My  lord,  O  king, 
this  is  the  woman,  and  this  is  her  son,  whom  E-li'sha  restored 
to  life. 

6  And  when  the  king  asked  the  woman,  she  told  him. 
So  the  king  appointed  unto  her  a  certain  ||  officer,  saying, 
Restore  all  that  was  hers,  and  all  the  fruits  of  the  field 
since  the  day  that  she  left  the  land,  even  until  now. 

7  ^And  E-li'sha  came  to  Da-mas'cus ;  and  Ben-ha'dad  the 
king  of  Syr'i-a  was  sick ;  and  it  was  told  him,  saying.  The 
man  of  God  is  come  hither. 

8  And  the  king  said  unto  'Haz'a-el,  ^Take  a  present  in 
thine  hand,  and  go,  meet  the  man  of  God,  and  "inquire 
of  the  Lord  by  him,  saying,  Shall  I  recover  of  this  dis- 
ease? 

9  So  Haz'a-el  went  to  meet  him,  and  took  a  present  -f^ith 
him,  even  of  every  good  thing  of  Da-mas'cus,  forty  camels' 
burden,  and  came  and  stood  before  him,  and  said.  Thy  son 
Ben-ha'dad  king  of  Syr'i-a  hath  sent  me  to  thee,  saying.  Shall 
I  recover  of  this  disease  ? 

10  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  him,  Go,  say  unto  him.  Thou 
may  est  certainly  recover :  howbeit  the  Lord  hath  shewed 
me  that  ''he  shall  surely  die. 

11  And  he  settled  his  countenance  fsteadfastly,  until  he 
was  ashamed :  and  the  man  of  God  'wept. 

12  And  Haz'a-el  said.  Why  weepeth  my  lord?  And  he 
answered.  Because  I  know  *the  evil  that  thou  wilt  do  unto 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  their  strong  holds  wilt  thou  set  on 
fire,  and  their  young  men  wilt  thou  slay  with  the  sword, 
and  'wilt  dash  their  children,  and  rip  up  their  women  with 
child. 

13  And  Haz'a-el  said,  But  what,  "'is  thy  servant  a  dog, 
that  he  should  do  this  great  thing?  And  E-li'sha  an- 
swered, "The  Lord  hath  shewed  me  that  thou  shatt  be  king 
over  Syr'i-a. 

14  So  he  departed  from  E-li'sha,  and  came  to  his  master ; 
who  said  to  him.  What  said  E-li'sha  to  thee  ?  And  he  an- 
swered, He  told  me  that  thou  shouldest  surely  recover. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  he  took  a 
thick  cloth,  and  dipped  i<  in  water,  and  spread  it  on  his  face, 
so  that  he  died:  and  Haz'a-el  reigned  in  his  stead. 

16  ^And  in  the  fifth  year  of  Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'hab 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  Je-hosh'a-phat  being  then  king  of  Ju'dah, 
°Je-ho'ram  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah  fbegan 
to  reign. 

17  "Thirty  and  two  years  old  was  he  when  he  began  to 
reign ;  and  he  reigned  eight  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  as  did 
the  house  of  A'hab;  for  'the  daughter  of  A'hab  was  his  wife ; 
and  he  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

19  Yet  the  Lord  would  not  destroy  Ju'dah  for  Da'vid  his 
servant's  sake,  'as  he  promised  him  to  give  him  always  a 
flight,  and  to  his  children. 

20  ^In  his  days  'E'dom  revolted  from  under  the  hand  of 
Ju'dah,  "and  made  a  king  over  themselves. 

21  So  Jo'ram  went  over  to  Za'ir,  and  all  the  chariots  with 
him :  and  he  rose  by  night,  and  smote  the  E'dom-ites  which 
compassed  him  about,  and  the  captains  of  the  chariots :  and 
the  people  fled  into  their  tents. 

22  1 1  Yet  E'dom  revolted  from  under  the  hand  of  Ju'dah 
unto  this  day.     "Then  Lib'nah  revolted  at  the  same  time. 

23  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo'ram,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 

24  And  Jo'ram  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid:  and  "'H  A-ha-zi'ah  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 


Da-mas'cus,   forty 
stood  before    him. 


5  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  telling  the  king  how 
he  had  restored  to  life  him  that  was  dead,  that, 
behold,  the  woman,  Avhose  son  he  had  restored  to 
life,  cried  to  the  king  for  her  house  and  for  her  land. 
And  Ge-ha'zi  said.  My  lord,  O  king,  this  is  the  woman, 
and  this  is  her  son,  whom  E-li'sha  restored  to  life. 

6  And  when  the  king  asked  the  woman,  she  told  him. 
So  the  king  appointed  unto  her  a  certain  'officer, 
saying,  Restore  all  that  was  hers,  and  all  the  fruits 
of  ths  field  since  the  day  that  she  left  the  land,  even 
until  now. 

7  And  E-li'sha  came  to  Da-mas'cus ;  and  Ben-ha'dad 
the  king  of  Syr'i-a  was  sick ;  and  it  was  told  him, 

8  saying.  The  man  of  God  is  come  hither.  And  the 
king  said  unto  Haz'a-el,  Take  a  present  in  thine  hand, 
and  go  meet  the  man  of  God,  and  inquire  of  the 
Lord  by  him,  saying,  Shall  I  recover  of  this  sick- 

9ness?     So  Haz'a-el  went  to  meet  him,  and  took  a 

present  ^with  him,  'even   of  every  good  thing  of 

camels'    burden,   and   came  and 

and   said.   Thy  son    Ben-ha'dad 

king  of  Syr'i-a  hath  sent  me  to  thee,  saying.  Shall  I 

10 recover  of  this  sickness?    And  E-li'sJaa  said  unto 

him.  Go,  *say  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  surely  recover ; 

howbeit  the   Lord  hath   shewed  me  that  he  shall 

11  surely  die.  And  he  settled  his  countenance  sted- 
fastly  upon  him,  until  he  was  ashamed :  and  the  man 

12  of  God  wept.  And  Haz'a-el  said.  Why  weepeth  my 
lord?  And  he  answered.  Because  I  know  the 
evil  that  thou  wilt  do  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
their  strong  holds  wilt  thou  set  on  fire,  and  their 
young  men  wilt  thou  slay  with  the  sword,  and  wilt 
dash   in  pieces    their  little  ones,  and  rip   up  their 

13  women  with  child.  And  Haz'a-el  said.  But  what  is 
thy  servant,  which  is  but  a  dog,  that  he  should  do 
this  great  thing?  And  E-li'sha  answered,  the  Lord 
hath  shewed  me  that  thou  shalt  be  king  over  Syr'i-a. 

14  Then  he  departed  from  E-li'sha  and  came  to  his 
master ;  who  said  to  him.  What  said  E-li'sha  to  thee  ? 
And  he  answered.  He  told  me  that  thou  shouldest 

15  surely  recover.     And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  mor 
row,  that    he  took    the  coverlet,  and    dipped  it  in 
water,  and   spread  it  on   his  fece,  so  that  he  died : 
and  Haz'a-el  reigned  in  his  stead. 

16  And  in  the  fifth  year  of  Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'h&b 
kingof  Is'ra-el,°Je-hosh'a-phat  being  then  king  of  Ju'- 
dah, Je-ho'ram  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah 

17  began  to  reign.  "Thirty  and  two  years  old  was  he 
when  he  began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  eight  years 

18  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el,  as  did  the  house  of  A'hab :  for  he 
had  ^the  daughter  of  A'hab  to  wife :  and  he  did  that 

19  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord.  Howbeit 
the  Lord  would  not  destroy  Ju'dah,  for  Da'vid  his 
servant's  sake,  as  he  promised  him  to  give  unto  him 

20a  lamp  'for  his  children  alway.  In  his  days  E'dom 
revolted  from  under  the  hand  of  Ju'dah,  and  made  a 

21  king  over  themselves.  Then  Jo'ram  passed  over  to 
Za'ir,  and  all  his  chariots  with  him :  and  he  rose  up 
by  night,  and  smote  the  E'dom-ites  which  compassed 
him  about,  and  the  captains  of  the  chariots:  and  the 

22  people  fled  to  their  tents.  So  E'dom  revolted  from 
under  the  hand  of  Ju'dah,  unto  this  day.     Then  did 

23  Lib'nah  revolt  at  the  same  time.  And  the  rest  of 
the  acts  of  Jo'ram,  and  all  that  he  did,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of 

24  Ju'dah  ?  And  Jo'ram  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was 
buried  with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and 
A-ha-zi'ah  his  son  reigned  in  stead.

25  ^In  the  twelfth  year  of  Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'hab  king 
of  Is'rael  did  A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  Je-ho'ram  king  of 
Ju'dah  begin  to  reign. 

26  "Two  and  twenty  years  old  was  A-ha-zi'ah  when  he 
began  to  reign;  and  he' reigned  one  year  in  Je-ru'sa-lem 
And  his  mother's  name  was  Ath-a-li'ah,  the  ||  daughter  of 
Om'ri  king  of  Is'ra-el. 

27  'And  he  walked  in  the  way  of  the  hou.se  of  A'hab,  and 
did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  as  did  the  house  of  A'hab 
for  he  icas  the  son  in  law  of  the  house  of  A'hab. 

28  ^And  he  went  "with  Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'hab  to  the  war 
against  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  in  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad ;  and 
the  Syr'i-ans  wounded  Jo'ram. 

29  And  ''king  Jo'ram  went  back  to  be  healed  in  Jez're-el 
of  the  wounds  f  which  the  Syr'i-ans  had  given  him  at  ||Ra'- 
mah,  when  he  fought  against  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a.  ''And 
A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  Je-ho'ram  king  of  Ju'dah  went  down  to 
see  Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'hab  in  Jez're-el,  because  he  was  fsick. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Elisha  sendeth  a  young  prophet  to  anoint  Jehu  at  Ramoth-gilead. 

AND  E-li'sha  the  prophet  called  one  of  "the  children  of 
the  prophets,  and  said  unto  him,  'Gird  up  thy  loins,  and 
take  this  box  of  oil  in  thine  hand,  "and  go  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad : 

2  And  when  thou  comest  thither,  look  out  there  Je'hu  the 
son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat,  the  son  of  Nim'shi,  and  go  in,  and 
make  him  arise  up  from  among  ''his  brethren,  and  carry 
him  to  an  finner  chamber ; 

3  Then  "take  the  box  of  oil,  and  pour  it  on  his  head,  and 
say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  have  anointed  thee  king  over 
Is'ra-el.     Then  open  the  door,  and  flee,  and  tarry  not. 

4  ^So  the  young  man,  even  the  young  man  the  prophet, 
went  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

5  And  when  he  came,  behold,  the  captains  of  the  host  were 
sitting ;  and  he  said,  I  have  an  errand  to  thee,  O  captain.  And 
Je'hu  said,Unto  which  of  all  us?  And  he  said,To  thee,  Ocaptain. 

6  And  he  arose,  and  went  into  the  house ;  and  he  poured 
the  oil  on  his  head,  and  said  unto  him,  •''Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  have  anointed  thee  king  over  the 
people  of  the  Lord,  even  over  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  thou  shalt  smite  the  house  of  A'hab  thy  master,  that  I 
may  avenge  the  blood  of  my  servants  the  prophets,  and  the 
blood  of  all  the  servants  of  the  Lord,  "at  the  hand  of  Jez'e-bel. 

8  For  the  whole  house  of  A'hab  shall  perish :  and  ''I  will 
cut  off  from  A'hab  'him  that  pisseth  against  the  wall,  and 
'him  that  is  shut  up  and  left  in  Is'ra-el : 

9  And  I  will  make  the  house  of  A'hab  like  the  house  of 
'Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  and  like  the  house  of 
"■Ba'a-sha  the  son  of  A-hi'jah : 

10  "And  the  dogs  shall  eat  Jez'e-bel  in  the  portion  of 
Jez're-el,  and  there  shall  be  none  to  bury  her.  And  he 
opened  the  door  and  fled. 

11  *iyThen  Je'hu  came  forth  to  the  servants  of  his  lord: 
and  one  said  unto  him.  Is  all  well?  wherefore  came  "this 
ma.A  fellow  to  thee?  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  know  the 
man,  and  his  communication. 

12  And  they  said.  It  is  false;  tell  us  now.  And  he  said. 
Thus  and  thus  spake  he  to  me,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
I  have  anointed  thee  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

13  Then  they  hasted,  and  "took  every  man  his  garment, 
and  put  it  under  him  on  the  top  of  the  stairs,  and  blew  with 
trumpets,  saying,  Je'hu  fis  king. 

1 4  So  Je'hu  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  Nim'shi 
conspired  against  Jo'ram.  (Now  Jo'ram  had  kept  Ra'moth- 
gil'e-ad,  he  and  all  Is'ra-el,  because  of  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a. 

15  But  'king  fJo-ram  was  returned  to  be  healed  in  Jez'- 
re-el of  the  wounds  which  the  Syr'i-ans  fhad  given  him, 
when  he  fought  with  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a.)  And  Je'hu 
said,  If  it  be  your  minds,  then  flet  none  go  forth  nor 
escape  out  of  the  city  to  go  to  tell  it  in  Jez're-el. 


25  'In  the  twelfth  year  of  Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'hab 
king  of  Is'ra-el  did  A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  Je-ho'ram  king 

26  of  Ju'dah  begin  to  reign.  Two  and  twenty  years 
old  was  A-ha-zi'ah  when  he  began  to  reign ;  and  he 
reigned  one  year  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  mother's 
name  was  Ath-a-li'ah  the  ^daughter  of  Om'ri  king  of 

27  Is'ra-el.  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of  the  house  of 
A'hab,  and  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  as  did  the  house  of  A'hab :  for  he  was  the 

28  son  in  law  of  the  house  of  A'hab.  And  he  went  with 
Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'hab  to  war  against  Haz'a-el  king 
of  Syr'i-a  at  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad :  and  the  Syr'i-ans  wounded 

29  Jo'ram.  And  king  Jo'ram  returned  to  be  healed  in 
Jez're-el  of  the  wounds  which  the  Syr'i-ans  had  given 
him  at  Ra'mah,  when  he  fought  against  Haz'a-el 
king  of  Syr'i-a.  And  A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  Je-ho'ram 
king  of  Ju'dah  went  down  to  see  Jo'ram  the  son  of 
A'hab  in  Jez're-el,  because  he  was  sick. 

V  And  E-li'sha  the  prophet  called  one  of  the  sons  of 
the  prophets,  and  said  unto  him.  Gird  up  thy  loins, 
and  take  this  vial  of  oil  in  thine  hand,  and  go  to 

2  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad.  And  when  thou  comest  thither, 
look  out  there  Je'hu  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son 
of  Nim'shi,  and  go  in,  and  make  him  arise  up  from 
among  his    brethren,  and    carry    him   to    an    inner 

3  chamber.  Then  take  the  vial  of  oil,  and  pour  it  on 
his  head,  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  have 
anointed  thee  king  over  Is'ra-el.    Then  open  the  door, 

4  and  flee,  and  tarry  not.  So  the  young  man,  even  the 
young  man  the  prophet,  went  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

5  And  when  he  came,  behold,  the  captains  of  the  host 
were  sitting ;  and  he  said,  I  have  an  errand  to  thee, 

0  captain.     And  Je'hu  said.  Unto  which  of  all  us? 

6  And  he  said,  To  thee,  O  captain.  And  he  arose, 
and  went  into  the  house ;  and  he  poured  the  oil  on 
his  head,  and  said  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  I  have  anointed  thee  king  over 

7  the  people  of  the  Lord,  even  over  Is'ra-el.  And 
thou  shalt  smite  the  house  of  A'hab  thy  master,  that 

1  may  avenge  the  blood  of  my  servants  the  prophets, 
and  the  blood  of  all  the  servants  of  the  Lord,  at 

8  the  hand  of  Jez'e-bel.  For  the  whole  house  of  A'hab 
shall  perish :  and  I  will  cut  off  from  A'hab  every 
man  child,  and  him  that  is  shut  up  and  him  that  is 

9  left  at  large  in  Is'ra-el.  And  I  will  make  the  house 
of  A'hab  like  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of 
Ne'bat,  and  like  the  house  of  Ba'a-sha  the  son  of 

10  A-hi'jah.  And  the  dogs  shall  eat  Jez'e-bel  in  the  por- 
tion of  Jez're-el,  and  there  shall  be  none  to  bury  her. 

11  And  he  opened  the  door,  and  fled.  Then  Je'hu  came 
forth  to  the  servants  of  his  lord :  and  one  said  unto 
him.  Is  all  well  ?  wherefore  came  this  mad  fellow  to 
thee?     And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  know  the  man 

12 and  what  his  talk  was.  And  they  said.  It  is  false; 
tell  us  now.  And  he  said.  Thus  and  thus  spake  he 
to  me,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  have  anointed 

13 thee  king  over  Is'ra-el.  Then  they  hasted,  and 
took  every  man  his  garment,  and  put  it  under 
him  ^on  the  top  of  the  stairs,  and  blew  the  trumpet, 

14  saying,  Je'hu  is  king.  So  Je'hu  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a- 
phat  the  .son  of  Nim'shi  conspired  against  Jo'ram. 
(Now  Jo'ram  kept  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad,  he  and  all  Is'- 

15ra-el,  because  of  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a:  but  king 
*Jo'ram  was  returned  to  be  healed  in  Jez're-el  of  the 
wounds  which  the  Syr'i-ans  had  given  him,  when 
he  fought  with  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a.)  And  Je'hu 
said,  If  this  be  your  mind,  then  let  none  escape  and 
go  forth  out  of  the  city,  to  go  to  tell  it  'a.  Jez're-el.

16  So  Jo'hu  rode  in  a  chariot,  and  went  to  Jez're-el ;  lor 
Jo' ram  lay  there.  ''And  A-ha-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  was  come 
down  to  see  Jo'ram. 

17  And  there  stood  a  watchman  on  the  tower  in  Jez're-el, 
and  he  spied  the  company  of  Je'hu  as  he  came,  and  said,  I 
see  a  company.  And  Jo'ram  said.  Take  a  horseman,  and 
send  to  meet  them,  and  let  him  say.  Is  it  peace  ? 

18  So  there  went  one  on  horseback  to  meet  him,  and  said. 
Thus  saith  the  king.  Is  it  peace?  And  Je'hu  said,  What 
hast  thou  to  do  with  peace  ?  turn  thee  behind  me.  And  the 
watchman  told,  saying,  The  messenger  came  to  them,  but 
he  Cometh  not  again. 

19  Then  he  sent  out  a  second  on  horseback,  which  came  to 
them,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the  king,  is  it  peace  ?  And  Je'hu  an- 
swered. What  hast  thou  to  do  Avith  peace?  turn  thee  behind  me. 

20  And  the  watchman  told,  saying.  He  came  even  unto 
them,  and  cometh  not  again :  and  the  ||  driving  islike  thedriv- 
ing  of  Je'hu  the  son  of  Nim'shi;   for  he  driveth  ffuriously. 

21  And  Jo'ram  said,  fMake  ready.  And  his  chariot  was 
made  ready.  And  'Jo'ram  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  A-ha-zi'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah  went  out,  each  in  his  chariot,  and  they  went 
out  against  Je'hu,  and  fmet  him  in  the  portion  of  Na'both 
the  Jez're-el-ite. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jo'ram  saw  Je'hu,  that  he 
said.  Is  it  peace,  Je'hu  ?  And  he  answered.  What  peace,  so 
long  as  the  whoredoms  of  thy  mother  Jez'e-bel  and  her 
witchcrafts  are  so  many  ? 

23  And  Jo'ram  turned  his  hands,  and  fled,  and  said  to 
A-ha-zi'ah,  There  is  treachery,  O  A-ha-zi'ah. 

24  And  Je'hu  f  drew  a  bow  with  his  full  strength,  and  smote 
Je-ho'ram  between  his  arms,  and  the  arrow  went  out  at  his 
heart,  and  he  fsunk  down  in  his  chariot. 

25  Then  said  Jefhu  to  Bid'kar  his  captain.  Take  up,  and  cast 
him  in  the  portion  of  the  field  of  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite : 
for  remember  how  that,  when  I  and  thou  rode  together  after 
A'hab  his  father,  'the  Lord  laid  this  burden  upon  him; 

26  Surely  I  have  seen  yesterday  the  fblood  of  Na'both, 
and  the  blood  of  his  sons,  saith  the  Lord;  and  "I  will 
requite  thee  in  this  ||plat,  saith  the  Lord.  Now  therefore 
take  and  cast  him  into  the  plat  of  ground,  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord. 

27  ^But  when  A-ha-zi'ah  the  king  of  Ju'dah  saw  this,  he  fled 
by  the  way  of  the  garden  house.  And  Je'hu  followed  after 
him,  and  said.  Smite  him  also  in  the  chariot.  And  they  did 
so  at  the  going  up  to  Gur,  which  is  by  Ib'le-am.  And  he  fled 
to  ^Me-gid'do,  and  died  there. 

28  And  his  servants  carried  him  in  a  chariot  to  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  buried  him  in  his  sepulchre  with  his  fathers  in 
the  city  of  Da'vid. 

29  And  in  the  eleventh  year  of  Jo'ram  the  son  of  A'hab 
began  A-ha-zi'ah  to  reign  over  Ju'dah. 

30  ^And  when  Je'hu  was  come  to  Jez're-el,  Jez'e-bel  heard 
of  it ;  "and  she  fpainted  her  face,  and  tired  her  head,  and 
looked  out  at  a  window. 

31  And  as  Je'hu  entered  in  at  the  gate,  she  said,  'Had 
Zim'ri  peace,  who  slew  his  master? 

32  And  he  lifted  up  his  face  to  the  window,  and  said.  Who 
is  on  my  side?  who?  And  there  looked  out  to  him  two  or 
three  ||  eunuchs. 

33  And  he  said.  Throw  her  down.  So  they  threw  her 
down:  and  some  of  her  blood  was  sprinkled  on  the  wall, 
and  on  the  horses :  and  he  trode  her  under  foot. 

34  And  when  he  was  come  in,  he  did  eat  and  drink,  and 
said.  Go,  see  now  this  cursed  woman,  and  bury  her:  for  "she 
is  a  king's  daughter. 

36  And  they  went  to  bury  her:  but  they  found  no  more  of 
her  than  the  skull,  and  the  feet,  and  the  palms  of  her  hands. 

36  Wherefore  they  came  again,  and  told  him.  And  he 
said,  This  is  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  fby  his 


16  So  Je'hu  rode  in  a  chariot,  and  went  to  Jez're-el;  for 
Jo'ram  lay  there.    And  A-ha-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  was 

17  come  down  to  see  Jo'ram.  Now  the  watchman  stood 
on  the  tower  in  Jez're-el,  and  he  spied  the  company 
of  Je'hu  as  he  came,  and  said,  I  see  a  company.  And 
Jo'ram  said.  Take  an  horseman,  and  send  to  meet 

18  them,  and  let  him  say,  'Is  it  peace?  So  there  went 
one  on  horseback  to  meet  him,  and  said.  Thus  saith 
the  king,  Is  it  peace?  And  Je'hu  said,  What  hast 
thou  to  do  with  peace?  turn  thee  behind  me.  And 
the  watchman  told,  saying.  The  messenger  came  to 

19  them,  but  he  cometh  not  again.  Then  he  sent  out  a 
second  on  horseback,  which  came  to  them,  and  said. 
Thus  saith  the  king,  Is  it  peace  ?  And  Je'hu  answered. 
What  hast  thou  to  do  with  peace  ?  turn  thee  behind 

20  me.  And  the  watchman  told,  saying,  He  came  even 
unto  them,  and  cometh  not  again:  and  the  driving 
is  like  the  driving  of  Je'hu  the  son  of  Nim'shi ;  for 

21  he  driveth  furiously.  And  Jo'ram  said,  ^Make  ready. 
And  they  made  ready  his  chariot.  And  Jo'ram  king 
of  Is'ra-el  and  A-ha-zi'ah  king  bf  Ju'dah  went  out,  each 
in  his  chariot,  and  they  went  out  to  meet  Je'hu,  and 
found  him  in  the  portion  of  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jo'ram  saw  Je'hu,  that  he 
said.  Is  it  peace,  Je'hu?  And  he  answered.  What 
peace,  so  long  as  the    whoredoms    of  thy    mother 

23  Jez'e-bel  and  her  witchcrafts  are  so  many  ?  And  Jo'- 
ram turned  his  hands,  and  fled,  and  said  to  A-ha-zi'ah, 

24  There  is  treachery,  O  A-ha-zi'ah.  And  Je'hu  'drew 
his  bow  with  his  full  strength,  and  smote  Jo'ram  be- 
tween his  arms,  and  the  arrow  went  out  at  his  heart, 

25  and  he  sunk  down  in  his  chariot.  Then  said  Je'hu 
to  Bid'kar  his  captain.  Take  up,  and  cast  him  in  the 
portion  of  the  field  of  Na'both  the  Jez're-el-ite :  for 
remember  how  that,  when  I  and  thou  rode  together 
after  A'hab  his  father,  the  Lord  ^laid  this  burden 

26  upon  him ;  Surely  I  have  seen  yesterday  the  blood 
of  Na'both,  and  the  blood  of  his  sons,  saith  the  Lord  ; 
and  I  will  requite  thee  in  this  'plat,  saith  the  Lord. 
Now  therefore  take  and  cast  him  into  the  plat  of 

21  ground,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord.  'But 
when  A-ha-zi'ah  the  king  of  Ju'dah  saw  this,  he  fled 
by  the  way  of  the  garden  house.  And  Je'hu  followed 
after  him,  and  said.  Smite  him  also  in  the  chariot: 
and  they  smote  him  at  the  ascent  of  Gur,  which  is 
by  Ib'le-am.  And  he  fled  to  Me-gid'do,  and  died  there. 

28  And  his  servants  carried  him  in  a  chariot  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem,  and  buried  him  in  his  sepulchre  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid. 

29  And  in  the  eleventh  year  of  Jo'ram  the  son  of 
A'hab  began  A-ha-zi'ah  to  reign  over  Ju'dah. 

30  And  when  Je'hu  was  come  to  Jez're-el,  Jez'e-bel 
heard  of  it ;  and  she  painted  her  eyes,  and  tired  her 

31  head,  and  looked  out  at  the  window.  And  as  Je'hu 
entered  in  at  the  gate,  she  said,  'Is  it  peace,  thou 

32  Zim'ri,  thy  master's  murderer?  And  he  lifted  up 
his  fiice  to  the  window,  and  said.  Who  is  on  my 
side?  who?     And  there  looked  out  to  him  two  or 

33  three  eunuchs.  And  he  said.  Throw  her  down. 
So  they  threw  her  down:  and  .some  of  her  blood 
was   sprinkled   on   the  wall,   and   on   the    horses : 

34  and  he  trode  her  under  foot.  And  when  he  was 
come  in,  he  did  eat  and  drink ;  and  he  said,  See 
now  to  this  cursed  woman,  and  bury  her:  for  she 

35  is  a  king's  daughter.  And  they  went  to  bury  her : 
but  they  found  no  more  of  her  than  the  skull,   and 

36  the  feet,  and  the  palms  of  her  hands.  Wherefore 
they  came  again,  and  told  him.  And  he  said,  This 
is  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by   his

servant  E-li'jah  the  Tish'bite,  saying,  'In  the  portion  of

37  And  the  carcass  of  Jez'e-bel  shall  be  ''as  dung  upon  the

CHAPTER    X. 

/ehu  by  hts  letters  causeth  seventy  of  Ahab's  children  to  be  beheaded. 

AND  A'hab  had  seventy  sons  in  Sa-raa'ri-a.  And  Je'hu 
wrote  letters,  and  sent  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  unto  the  rulers  of 
Jez're-el,  to  the  elders,  and  to  fthem  that  brought  up 
A'hab's  children,  saying, 

2  Now  as  soon  as  this  letter  cometh  to  you,  seeing  your 
master's  sons  are  with  you,  and  there  are  with  you  chariots 
and  horses,  a  fenced  city  also,  and  armour; 

3  Look  even  out  the  best  and  meetest  of  your  master's 
sons,  and  set  him  on  his  father's  throne,  and  fight  for  your 
master's  house. 

4  But  they  were  exceedingly  afraid,  and  said.  Behold,  two 
kings  stood  not  before  him :  how  then  shall  we  stand  ? 

5  And  he  that  was  over  the  house,  and  he  that  was  over 
the  city,  the  elders  also,  and  the  bringers  up  of  the  children, 
sent  to  Je'hu,  saying.  We  are  thy  servants,  and  will  do  all 
that  thou  shalt  bid  us ;  we  will  not  make  any  king :  do  thou 
that  which  is  good  in  thine  eyes. 

6  Then  he  wrote  a  letter  the  second  time  to  them,  saying. 
If  ye  be  fnaine,  and  if  ye  will  hearken  unto  my  voice,  take 
ye  the  heads  of  the  men  your  master's  sons,  and  come  to 
me  to  Jez're-el  by  to-morrow  this  time.  Now  the  king's 
sons  being  seventy  persons,  were  with  the  great  men  of  the 
city,  which  brought  them  up. 

7  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  when  the  letter  came  to  them,  that 
they  took  the  king's  sons,  and  "slew  seventy  persons,  and 
put  their  heads  in  baskets,  and  sent  him  them  to  Jez're-el. 

8  %And  there  came  a  messenger,  and  told  him,  saying. 
They  have  brought  the  heads  of  the  king's  sons.  And  he 
said.  Lay  ye  them  in  two  heaps  at  the  entering  in  of  the 
gate  until  the  morning. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  morning,  that  he  went  out, 
and  stood,  and  said  to  all  the  people.  Ye  be  righteous :  be- 
hold, 'I  conspired  against  my  master,  and  slew  him :  but 
who  slew  all  these? 

10  Know  now  that  there  shall  "fall  unto  the  earth  nothing 
of  the  word  of  the  Lokd,  which  the  Lord  spake  concerning 
the  house  of  A'hab :  for  the  Lord  hath  done  that  which  he 
spake  ''fby  his  servant  E-li'jah. 

11  So  Je'hu  slew  all  that  remained  of  the  house  of  A'hab 
in  Jez're-el,  and  all  his  great  men,  and  his  ||  kinsfolks,  and 
his  priests,  until  he  left  him  none  remaining. 

12  ^And  he  arose  and  departed,  and  came  to  Sa-raa'ri-a. 
And  as  he  was  at  the  fshearing  house  in  the  way, 

13  'Je'hu  fmet  with  the  brethren  of  A-ha-zi'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah,  and  said.  Who  are  ye  ?  And  they  answered. 
We  are  the  brethren  of  A-ha-zi'ah ;  and  we  go  down 
fto  salute  the  children  of  the  king  and  the  children  of 
the  queen. 

14  And  he  said.  Take  them  alive.  And  they  took  them 
alive,  and  slew  them  at  the  pit  of  the  shearing  house,  even 
two  and  forty  men ;  neither  left  he  any  of  them. 

15  ^And  when  he  was  departed  thence,  he  flighted  on 
■'Je-hon'a-dab  the  son  of  "Re'chab  coming  to  meet  him :  and 
he  fsaluted  him,  and  said  to  him.  Is  thine  heart  right,  as  my 
heart  is  with  thy  heart  ?  And  Je-hon'a-dab  answered,  It  is. 
If  it  be,  *give  me  thine  hand.  And  he  gave  him  his  hand ; 
and  he  took  him  up  to  him  into  the  chariot. 

16  And  he  said.  Come  with  me,  and  see  my  'zeal  for  the 
Lord.     So  they  made  him  ride  in  his  chariot. 

17  And  when  he  cama  .;o  Sa-ma'ri-a,  *he  slew  all  that  re- 
mained unto  A'hab  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  till  he  had  destroyed  him. 


servant  E-li'jah  the  Tish'bite,  saying.  In  the  portion 
of  Jez're-el  shall  the  dogs  eat  the  flesh  of  Jez'e-bel : 
37  and  the  carcase  of  Jez'e-bel  shall  be  as  dung  upon 
the  face  of  the  field  in  the  portion  of  Jez're-el :  so 
that  they  shall  not  say,  This  is  Jez'e-bel. 

Av  Now  A'hab  had  seventy  sons  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And 
Je'hu  wrote  letters,  and  sent  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  unto  the 
rulers  of  Jez're-el,  even  the  elders,  and  unto  them  that 

2  brought  up  the  sons  of  A'hab,  saying.  And  now  as 
soon  as  this  letter  cometh  to  you,  seeing  your 
master's  sons  are  with  you,  and  there  are  with  you 
chariots  and  horses,  a  fenced  city  also,  and  armour; 

3  look  ye  out  the  best  and  meetest  of  your  master's 
sons,  and  set  him  on  his  father's   throne,  and  fight 

4  for  your  master's  house.  But  they  were  exceed- 
ingly afraid,  and  said.  Behold,  the  two  kings  stood 

5  not  before  him :  how  then  shall  we  stand?  And  he 
that  was  over  the  household,  and  he  that  was  over 
the  city,  the  elders  also,  and  they  that  brought  up 
the  children,  sent  to  Je'hu,  saying.  We  are  thy  serv- 
ants, and  will  do  all  that  thou  shalt  bid  us ;  we  will 
not   make  any    man    king:  do  thou    that  which  is 

6  good  in  thine  eyes.  Then  he  wrote  a  letter  the 
second  time  to  them,  saying.  If  ye  be  on  my  side, 
and  if  ye  will  hearken  unto  my  voice,  take  ye  the 
heads  of  the  men  your  master's  sons,  and  come  to 
me  to  Jez're-el  by  to-morrow  this  time.  Now  the 
king's  sons,  being  seventy  person.^,  were  with  the 
great   men   of  the  city,   which   brought  them   up. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  letter  came  to  them, 
that  they  took  the  king's  sons,  and  slew  them,  even 
seventy  persons,  and  put  their  heads  in  baskets,  and 

8  sent  them  unto  him  to  Jez're-el.  And  there  came  a 
messenger,  and  told  him,  saying.  They  have  brought 
the  heads  of  the  king's  sons.  And  he  said.  Lay  ye 
them  in  two  heaps  at  the  entering  in  of  the  gate 

9  until  the  morning.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  he  went  out,  and  stood,  and  said  to 
all  the  people,  Ye  be  righteous  :  behold,  I  conspired 
against  my  master,  and    slew  him:  but  who  smote 

lOall  these?  Know  now  that  there  shall  fall  unto  the 
earth  nothing  of  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  the 
Lord  spake  concerning  the  house  of  A'hab :  for  the 
Lord  hath  done  that  which  he  spake  by  his  servant 

11  E-li'jah.  So  Je'hu  smote  all  that  remained  of  the 
house  of  A'hab  in  Jez're-el,  and  all  his  great  men, 
and  his  familiar  friends,  and  his  priests,  until  he  left 

12  him  none  remaining.  And  he  arose  and  departed, 
and  went  to  Sa-ma'ri-a.     And  as  he  was  at  the  'shear- 

13  ing  house  of  the  shepherds  in  the  way,  Je'hu  met  with 
the  brethren  of  A-ha-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  said.  Who 
are  ye  ?  And  they  answered.  We  are  the  brethren 
of  A-ha-zi'ah  :  and  we  go  down  to  salute  the  children 

14  of  the  king  and  the  children  of  the  queen.  And  he 
said,  Take  them  alive.  And  they  took  them  alive, 
and  slew  them  at  the  ^pit  of  the  'shearing  house, 
even  two  and  forty  men ;  neither  left  he  any  of  them. 

15  And  when  he  was  departed  thence,  he  lighted 
on  Je-hon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab  coming  to  meet 
him :  and  he  saluted  him,  and  said  to  him.  Is  thine 
heart  right,  as  my  heart  is  with  thy  heart?  And 
Je-hon'a-dab  answered.  It  is.  If  it  be,  give  me  thine 
hand.     And  he  gave    him  his  hand ;  and   he  took 

16  him  up  to  him  into  the  chariot.  And  he  said, 
Come  with   me,  and   see   my   zeal   for  the  Lord. 

17  So  they  made  him  ride  in  his  chariot.  And  when 
he  came  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  he  smote  all  that  remained 
unto  A'hab  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  till  he  had  destroyed  him.

according  to  the  saying  of  the  Lord,  'which  he  spake  to 
E-li'jah. 

18  ^And  Je'hu  gathered  all  the  people  together,  and  said 
unto  themj^A'hab  served  Ba'ala  little;  but  Je'hu  shall  serve 
him  much. 

19  Now  therefore  call  unto  me  all  the  "prophets  of  Ba'al, 
all  his  servants,  and  all  his  priests  ;  let  none  be  wanting :  for 
I  have  a  great  sacrifice  to  do  to  Ba'al ;  whosoever  shall  be 
wanting,  he  shall  not  live.  But  Je'hu  did  it  in  subtilty,  to 
the  intent  that  he  might  destroy  the  worshippers  of  Ba'al. 

20  And  Je'hu  said,  fProclaim  a  solemn  assembly  for  Ba'al. 
And  they  proclaimed  it. 

21  And  Je'hu  sent  through  all  Is'ra-el :  and  all  the  wor- 
shippers of  Ba'al  came,  so  that  there  was  not  a  man  left  that 
came  not.  And  they  came  into  the  "house  of  Ba'al;  and  the 
house  of  Ba'al  was  ||  full  from  one  end  to  another. 

22  And  he  said  unto  him  that  icas  over  the  vestry,  Bring 
forth  vestments  for  all  the  worshippers  of  Ba'al.  And  he 
brought  them  forth  vestments. 

23  And  Je'hu  went,  and  Je-hon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab, 
into  the  house  of  Ba'al,  and  said  unto  the  worshippers  of 
Ba'al,  Search,  and  look  that  there  be  here  with  you  none  of 
the  servants  of  the  Lord,  but  the  worshippers  of  Ba'al  only. 

24  And  when  they  went  in  to  offer  sacrifices  and  burnt 
offerings,  Je'hu  appointed  fourscore  men  without,  and  said, 
If  any  of  the  men  whom  I  have  brought  into  your  hands 
escape,  he  that  letteth  him  go,  ''his  life  shall  be  for  the  life 
of  him. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  he  had  made  an  end  of 
offering  the  burnt  offering,  that  Je'hu  said  to  the  gu^rd  and 
to  the  captains,  Go  in,  and  slay  them;  let  none  come  forth. 
And  they  smote  them  with  fthe  edge  of  the  sword ;  and  the 
guard  and  the  captains  cast  them  out,  and  went  to  the  city 
of  the  house  of  Ba'al. 

26  And  they  brought  forth  the  fimages  out  of  the  house 
of  Ba'al,  and  burned  them. 

27  And  they  brake  down  the  image  of  Ba'al,  and  brake  down 
the  house  of  Ba'al,  'and  made  it  a  draught  house  unto  this  day. 

28  Thus  Je'hu  destroyed  Ba'al  out  of  Is'ra-el. 

29  ^Howbeit,  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of 
Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin,  Je'hu  departed  not  from 
after  them,  to  wit,  the  golden  calves  that  were  in  Beth'-el, 
and  that  were  in  Dan. 

30  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Je'hu,  Because  thou  hast  done 
well  in  executing  that  which  is  right  in  mine  eyes,  and  hast 
done  unto  the  house  of  A'hab  according  to  all  that  was  in 
mine  heart,  thy  children  of  the  fourth  generation  shall  sit  on 
the  throne  of  Is'ra-el. 

31  But  Je'hu  ftook  no  heed  to  walk  in  the  law  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el  with  all  his  heart :  for  he  departed  not  from 
"the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  which  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

32  ^In  those  days  the  Lord  began  fto  cut  Is'ra-el  short: 
and  ''Haz'a-el  smote  them  in  all  the  coasts  of  Is'ra-el ; 

33  From  Jor'dan  feastward,  all  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  the  Gad'- 
ites,  and  the  Reu'ben-ites,  and  the  Ma-nas'sites,  from  Ar'o-er, 
which  is  by  the  river  Ar'non,  ||even  "Gil'ead  and  Ba'shan. 

34  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je'hu,  and  all  that  he  did, 
and  all  his  might,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

35  And  Je'hu  slept  with  his  fathers :  and  they  buried  him 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a.     And  Je-ho'a-haz  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

36  And  fthe  time  that  Je'hu  reigned  over  Is'ra-el  in

Athaliah  slain— Jekoiada   restoretk  the  worship  of  God. 

AND  when  "Ath-a-li'ah 'the  mother  of  A-ha-zi'ah  saw  that  her 
son  was  dead,  she  arose  and  destroyed  all  the  fseed  royal. 
2  But  II  Je-hosh'e-ba,  the  daughter  of  king  Jo'ram,  sis- 
ter  of  A-ha-zi'ah,   took   ||  Jo'ash   the   son   of  A-ha-zi'ah, 


according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  to 

18  E-li'jah.  And  Je'hu  gathered  all  the  people  together, 
and  said  unto  them,  A'hab  served  Ba'al  a  little ;  but 

19  Je'hu  shall  serve  him  much.  Now  therefore  call 
unto  me  all  the  prophets  of  Ba'al,  all  his  worshippers, 
and  all  his  priests;  let  none  be  wanting:  for  I  have 
a  great  sacrifice  to  do  to  Ba'al;  whosoever  shall  be 
wanting,  he  shall  not  live.  But  Je'hu  did  it  in  sub 
tilty,  to  the  intent  that  he  might  destroy  the  wor 

20  shippers  of  Ba'al.     And  Je'hu  said.  Sanctify  a  solemn 

21  assembly  for  Ba'al.  And  they  proclaimed  it.  And 
Je'hu  sent  through  all  Is'ra-el :  and  all  the  worshippers 
of  Ba'al  came,  so  that  there  was  not  a  man  left  that 
came  not.  And  they  came  into  the  house  of  Ba'al; 
and  the  house  of  Ba'al  was  filled  from  one  end  to  an 

22  other.  And  he  said  unto  him  that  was  over  the  ves- 
try. Bring  forth  vestments  for  all  the  worshippers  of 

23  Ba'al.  And  he  brought  them  forth  vestments.  And 
Je'hu  went,  and  Je-hon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab,  into 
the  house  of  Ba'al ;  and  he  said  unto  the  worshippers 
of  Ba'al,  Search,  and  look  that  there  be  here  with 
you  none  of  the  servants  of  the  Lord,  but  the  wor- 

24  shippers  of  Ba'al  only.  And  they  went  in  to  offer 
sacrifices  and  burnt  offerings.  Now  Je'hu  had  ap- 
pointed him  fourscore  men  without,  and  said.  If  any 
of  the  men  whom  I  bring  into  your  hands  escape,  he 
that  letteth  him  go,  his  life  shall  be  for  the  life  of  him. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  he  had  made  an  end 
of  offering  the  burnt  offering,  that  Je'hu  said  to  the 
'guard  and  to  the  captains.  Go  in,  and  slay  them;  let 
none  come  forth.  And  they  smote  them  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword ;  and  the  guard  and  the  captains 
cast  them  out,  and  went  to  the  city  of  the  house  of 

26  Ba'al.     And  they  brought  forth  the  ^pillars  that  were 

27  in  the  kouse  of  Ba'al,  and  burned  them.  And  they 
brake  down  the  pillar  of  Ba'al,  and  brake  down  the 
house  of  Ba'al,  and  made  it  a  draught  house  unto  this 

28  day.     Thus  Je'hu  destroyed  Ba'al   out  of  Is'ra-el. 
29Howbeit  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of 

Ne'bat,  'wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el  to   sin,  Je'hu 
departed  not  from  after  them,  to  wit,  the  golden  calves 

30  that  were  in  Beth'-el,  and  that  were  in  Dan.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  Je  hu.  Because  thou  bast  *done 
well  in  executing  that  which  is  right  in  mine  eyes, 
and  hast  done  unto  the  house  of  A'hab  according 
to  all  that  was  in  mine  heart,  thy  sons  of  the  fourth 

31  generation  shall  sit  on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el.  But 
Je'hu  took  no  heed  to  walk  in  the  law  of  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  with  all  his  heart:  he  departed 
not  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  wherewith  he  made 
Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

32  In  those  days  the  Lord  began  to  cut  Is'ra-el  short : 
and  Haz'a-el  smote  them  in  all  the  coasts  of  Is'ra-el; 

33  from  Jor'dan  eastward,  all  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad,  the 
Gad'ites,  and  the  Reu'ben-ites,  and  the  Ma-nas'sites, 
from  Ar^o-er,  which  is  by  the  valley  of  Ar'non,  even 

34  Gil'e-ad  and  Ba'shan.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Je'hu,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  all  his  might,  are  they 
not  written  in   the  book   of  the  chronicles  of  the 

35  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ?  And  Je'hu  slept  with  his  fathers : 
and  they  buried  him  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.     And  Je-ho'a-haz 

36  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.  And  the  time  that 
Je'hu  reigned  over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  was  twenty 
and  eight  years.

and  stole  him  from  among  the  king*8  sons  which  were  slain ; 
and  they  hid  him,  even  him  and  his  nurse,  in  the  bedcham- 
ber, from  Ath-a-li'ah,  so  that  he  was  not  slain. 

3  And  he  was  with  her  hid  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  six 
years.     And  Ath-a-li'ah  did  reign  over  the  land. 

4  ^And  "the  seventh  year  Je-hoi'a-da  sent  and  fetched  the 
rulers  over  hundreds,  with  tlie  captains  and  the  guard,  and 
brought  them  to  him  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  made 
a  covenant  with  them,  and  took  an  oath  of  them  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  shewed  them  the  king's  son. 

5  And  he  commanded  them,  saying,  This  is  the  thing 
that  ye  shall  do ;  A  third  part  of  you  that  enter  in  ''on  the 
sabbath  shall  even  be  keepers  of  the  watch  of  the  king's 
house ; 

6  And  a  third  part  shall  be  at  the  gate  of  Sur ;  and  a  third 
part  at  the  gate  behind  the  guard:  so  shall  ye  keep  the 
watch  of  the  house,  ||that  it  be  not  broken  down. 

7  And  two  lltparts  of  all  you  that  go  forth  on  the  sab- 
bath, even  they  shall  keep  the  watch  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  about  the  king. 

8  And  ye  shall  compass  the  king  round  about,  every  man 
with  his  weapons  in  his  hand:  and  he  that  cometh" within 
the  ranges,  let  him  be  slain :  and  be  ye  with  the  king  as  he 
goeth  out  and  as  he  cometh  in. 

9  'And  the  captains  over  the  hundreds  did  according  to  all 
things  that  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  commanded :  and  they  took 
every  man  his  men  that  were  to  come  in  on  the  sabbath, 
with  them  that  should  go  out  on  the  sabbath,  and  came  to 
Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest. 

10  And  to  the  captains  over  hundreds  did  the  priest  give 
king  Da'vid's  spears  and  shields,  that  were  in  the  temple  of 
the  Lord. 

11  And  the  guard  stood,  every  man  with  his  weapons  in 
his  hand,  round  about  the  king,  from  the  right  fcorner  of 
the  temple  to  the  left  corner  of  the  temple,  along  by  the 
altar  and  the  temple. 

12  And  he  brought  forth  the  king's  son,  and  put  the  crown 
upon  him,  and  gave  him  the  testimony ;  and  they  made  him 
king,  and  anointed  him ;  and  they  clapped  their  hands,  and 
said,  t^God  save  the  king. 

13  TI'And  when  Ath-a-li'ah  heard  the  noise  of  the  guard 
and  of  the  people,  she  came  to  the  people  into  the  temple 
of  the  Lord. 

14  And  when  she  looked,  behold,  the  king  stood   by  ''a 

Eillar,  as  the  manner  was,  and  the  princes  and  the  trumpeters 
y  the  king,  and  all  the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and 
blew  with  trumpets:  and  Ath-a-li'ah  rent  her  clothes,  and 
cried.  Treason,  treason ! 

15  But  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  commanded  the  captains  of  the 
hundreds,  the  officers  of  the  host,  and  said  unto  them.  Have 
her  forth  without  the  ranges;  and  him  that  foUoweth  her 
kill  with  the  sword.  For  the  priest  had  said.  Let  her  not 
be  slain  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  they  laid  hands  on  her;  and  she  went  by  the  way 
by  which  the  horses  came  into  the  king's  house :  and  there 
was  she  slain. 

17  ^'And  Je-hoi'a-da  made  a  covenant  between  the  Lord 
and  the  king  and  the  people,  that  they  should  be  the  Lord's 
people ;  ^between  the  king  also  and  the  people. 

18  And  all  the  people  of  the  land  went  into  the  liouse  of 
Ba'al,  and  brake  it  down ;  his  altars  and  his  images  "brake 
they  in  pieces  thoroughly,  and  slew  Mat'tan  the  priest  of 
Ba'al  before  the  altars.  And  "the  priest  appointed  fofficers 
over  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

19  And  he  tbok  the  rulers  over  hundreds,  and  the  captains, 
and  the  guard,  and  all  the  people  of  the  land ;  and  they 
brought  down  the  king  from  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
came  by  the  way  of  the  gate  of  the  guard  to  the  king's 
house.     And  he  sat  on  the  throne  of  the  kings. 


and  stole  him  away  from  among  the  king's  sons  that 
were  slain,  even  him  and  his  nurse,  ^and  put  them  in 
the  ^bedchamber;  and  they  hid  him  from  Ath-a-li'ah, 

3  so  that  he  was  not  slain.  And  he  was  with  her  hid 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord  six  years :  and  Ath-a-li'ah 
reigned  over  the  land. 

4  ^Aud  in  the  seventh  year  Je-hoi'a-da  sent  and  fetched 
the  captains  over  hundreds,  of  the  ^Ca'rites  and  of 
the  'guard,  and  brought  them  to  him  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord  ;  and  he  made  a  covenant  with  them, 
and  took  an  oath  of  them  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

5  and  shewed  them  the  king's  son._  And  he  com- 
manded them,  saying.  This  is  the  thing  that  ye  shall 
do  :  a  third  partof  you,  that  come  in  on  the  sabbath, 
shall  be  keepers  of  the  watch  of  the  king's  house 

6 and  a  third  part  shall  be  at  the  gate  Sur;  and  a 
third  part  at  the  gate  behind  the  guard  :  so  shall  ye 

7  keep  the  watch  of  the  house,  and  be  a  barrier.  And 
the  two  companies  of  you,  even  all  that  go  forth  on 
the  sabbath,  shall  keep  the  watch  of  the  house   of 

8  the  Lord  about  the  king.  And  ye  shall  compass 
the  king  round  about,  every  man  with  his  weapons 
in  his  hand ;  and  he  that  cometh  within  the  ranks, 
let  him  be  slain :  and  be  ye  with  the  king  when  he 

9  goeth  out,  and  when  he  cometh  in.  And  the  cap- 
tains over  hundreds  did  according  to  all  that  Je-hoi'- 
a-da the  priest  commanded :  and  they  took  every 
man  his  men,  those  that  were  to  come  in  on  the 
sabbath,  with  those  that  were  to  go  out  on  the  sab- 

10  bath,  and  came  to  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest.  And  the  priest 
delivered  to  the  captains  over  hundreds  the  spears 
and  shields  that  had  been  king  Da'vid's,  which  were 

11  in  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  the  guard  stood, 
every  man  with  his  weapons  in  his  hand,  from  the 
right  "side  of  the  house  to  the  left  side  of  the  house, 
along  by  the  altar  and  the  house,  by  the  king  round 

12  about.  Then  he  brought  out  the  king's  son,  and 
^put  the  crown  upon  him,  and  gave  him  the  testi- 
mony; and  they  made  him  king,  and  anointed  him; 
and  they  clapped  their  hands,  and  said,  *God  save 

13  the  king.  And  when  Ath-a-li'ah  heard  the  noise  of 
the  guard  and  of  the  people,  she  came  to  the  people 

14 into  the  house  of  the  Lord:  and  she  looked,  and, 
behold,  the  king  stood  'by  the  pillar,  as  the  manner 
was,  and  the  captains  and  the  trumpets  by  the  king ; 
and  all  the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and  blew  with 
trumpets.     Then  Ath-a-li'ah  rent  her  clothes,  and 

15  cried.  Treason,  treason.  And  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest 
commauded  <^he  captains  of  hundreds  that  were  set 
over  the  host,  and  said  unto  them.  Have  her  forth 
between  the  ranks;  and  him  that  followeth  her  slay 
with  the  sword :  for  the  priest  said,  Let  her  not  be 

16  slain  m  the  house  of  the  Lord.  '' i  they  made  way 
for  her;  and  she  went  by  the:  wiy  of  the  horses' 
entry  to  the  king's  hoi    ; :  and  there  was  she  slain. 

1 7  And  Je-hoi'a-da  made  a  covenant  between  the  Lord 
and  the  king  and  the  people,  that  they  should 
be    the    Lord's    people ;     between    the    king   also 

18  and  the  people.  And  all  the  people  of  the  land 
went  to  the  house  of  Ba'al,  and  brake  it  down ;  his 
altars  and  his  images  brake  they  in  pieces  thor- 
oughly, and  slew  Mat'tan  the  priest  of  Ba'al  before 
the  altars.     And  the  priest  appointed  '"officers  over 

19  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  he  took  the  captains 
over  hundreds,  and  the  Ca'rites,  and  the  guard,  and 
all  the  people  of  the  land;  and  they  brought  down 
the  king  from  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  came 
by  the  way  of  the  gate  of  the  guard  unto  the  king's 
house.     And  he  sat  on  the  throne  of  the  kings.

20  And  all  the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and  the  city 
was  in  quiet :  and  they  slew  Ath-a-li'ah  with  the  sword  beside 
the  king's  house. 

21  "Seven  years  old  was  Je-ho'ash  when  he  began  to  reign. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

Jehoash  reigneth  well  all  the  days  ofjehoiada. 

IN  the  seventh  year  of  Je'hu,  "Je-ho'ash  began  to  reign ; 
and  forty  years  reigned  he  in    Je-ru'sa-lem.      And  his 
mother's  name  was  Zib'i-ah  of  Be'er-she'ba. 

2  And  Je-ho'ash  did  thai  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  all  his  days  wherein  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  instructed  him. 

3  But  Hhe  high  places  were  not  taken  away :  the  people 
still  sacrificed  and  burnt  incense  in  the  high  places. 

4  ^And  Je-ho'ash  said  to  the  priests,  "All  the  money  of  the 
II  fdedicated  things  that  is  brought  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  even  ''the  money  of  every  one  that  passeth  the  account, 
fthe  money  that  every  man  is  set  at,  and  all  the  money  that 
t'cometh  into  any  man's  heart  to  bring  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord, 

5  Let  the  priests  take  it  to  them,  every  man  of  his  acquaint- 
ance :  and  let  them  repair  the  breaches  of  the  house,  where- 
soever any  breach  shall  be  found. 

6  But  it  was  so,  that  fin  the  three  and  twentieth  year  of 
king  Je-ho'ash  Abe  priests  had  not  repaired  the  breaches  of 
the  house. 

7  "Then  king  Je-ho'ash  called  for  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  and 
the  other  priests,  and  said  unto  them.  Why  repair  ye  not 
the  breaches  of  the  house?  now  therefore  receive  no  more 
money  of  your  acquaintance,  but  deliver  it  for  the  breaches 
of  the  house. 

8  And  the  priests  consented  to  receive  no  more  money  of 
the  people,  neither  to  repair  the  breaches  of  the  house. 

9  But  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  took  *a  chest,  and  bored  a  hole 
in  the  lid  of  it,  and  set  it  beside  the  altar,  on  the  right  side 
as  one  cometh  into  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and  the  priests 
that  kept  the  fdoor  put  therein  all  the  money  that  was 
brought  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

10  And  it  was  so,  when  they  saw  that  there  was  much  money 
in  the  chest,  that  the  king's  ||  scribe  and  the  high  priest  came 
up,  and  they  tput  up  in  bags,  and  told  the  money  that  was 
found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

11  And  they  gave  the  money,  being  told,  into  the  hands 
of  them  that  did  the  work,  that  had  the  oversight  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord  :  and  they  flaid  it  out  to  the  carpenters 
and  builders,  that  wrought  upon  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

12  And  to  masons,  and  hewers  of  stone,  and  to  buy  tim- 
ber and  hewed  stone  to  repair  the  breaches  of  the  house 
of  the  JjORD,  and  for  all  that  fwas  laid  out  for  the  house  to 
repair  it. 

13  Howbeit  'there  were  not  made  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord  bowls  of  silver,  snuffers,  basins,  trumpets,  any  vessels 
of  gold,  or  vessels  of  silver,  of  the  money  that  was  brought 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord  : 

14  But  they  gave  that  to  the  workmen,  and  repaired 
therewith  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

15  Moreover  *they  reckoned  not  with  the  men,  into  whose 
hand  they  delivered  the  money  to  be  bestowed  on  workmen : 
for  they  dealt  faithfully. 

16  'The  trespass  money  and  sin  money  was  not  brought 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  "it  was  the  priests'. 

17  ^Then  ""Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  went  up,  and  fought 
against  Gath,  and  took  it :  and  "Haz'a-el  set  his  face  to  go 
up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18  And  Je-ho'ash  king  of  Ju'dah  "took  all  the  hallowed 
things  th  It  Je-hosh'a-phat,  and  Je-ho'ram,and  A-ha-zi'ah,  his 
fathers,  kings  of  Ju'dah,  had  dedicated,  and  his  own  hallowed 
things,  and  all  the  gold  that  was  found  in  the  treasures  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  king's  house,  and  sent  it 
toHaz'a-rf  king  of  Syr'i-a:  and  hefwentaway  fromJe-ru'sa-lem. 


20  So  all  the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and  the  city 
was  quiet :  and  they  slew  Ath-a-li'ah  with  the  sword 
at  the  king's  house. 

21  Je-ho'ash  was  seven  years  old  when  he  began  to 
10  reign.     In  the  seventh  year  of  Je'hu  began  Je-ho'ash 

to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  forty  years  in  Je-ru'sa-leni . 
and  his  mother's  name  was  Zib'i-ah  of  Be'er-she'ba. 

2  And  Je-ho'a.sh  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord  all  his  days  wherein  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest 

3  instructed  him.  Howbeit  the  high  places  were  not 
taken  away ;  the  people  still  sacrificed  and  burnt  in- 
cense in  the  high  places. 

4  And  Je-ho'ash  said  to  the  priests.  All  the  money 
of  the  hallowed  things  that  is  brought  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  "in  current  money,  Hhe  money 
of  the  persons  for  whom  each  man  is  rated,  and  all 
the  money  that  it  cometh  into  any  man's  heart  to 

5  bring  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  let  the  priests 
take  it  to  them,  every  man  from  his  acquaintance: 
and  they  shall  repair  the  breaches   of  the   house, 

6  wheresoever  any  breach  shall  be  found.     But  it  was 
'so,  that  in  the  three  and  tM'entieth  year  of  king 

Je-ho'ash  the  priests  had  not  repaired  the  breaches 

7  of  the  house.  Then  king  Je-ho'asn  called  for  Je-hoi'- 
a-da the  priest,  and  for  the  other  priests,  and  said 
unto  them.  Why  repair  ye  not  the  breaches  of  the 
house?  now  therefore  take  no  more  money  from 
your  acquaintance,  but  deliver  it  for  the  breaches  of 

8  the  house.  And  the  priests  consented  that  they 
should  take  no  more  money  from  the  people,  neither 

9  repair  the  breaches  of  the  house.  But  Je-hoi'a-da  the 
priest  took  a  chest,  and  bored  a  hole  in  the  lid  of  it, 
and  set  it  beside  the  altar,  on  the  right  side  as  one 
cometh  into  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and  the  priests 
that  kept  the  'door  put  therein  all  the  money  that 

10  was  brought  into  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  it 
was  so,  when  they  saw  that  there  was  much  money 
in  the  chest,  that  the  king's  ^scribe  and  the  high 
priest  came  up,  and  they  'put  up  in  bags  and  told 
the  money  that  was  found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

11  And  they  gave  the  money  that  was  weighed  out 
into  the  hands  of  them  that  did  the  work,  that  had 
the  oversight  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and  they 
"paid  it  out  to  the  carpenters  and  the  builders,  that 

12  wrought  upon  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  to  the 
masons  and  the  hewers  of  stone,  and  for  buying 
timber  and  hewn  stone  to  repair  the  breaches  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  for  all  that  Vas  laid  out  for 

13  the  house  to  repair  it.  But  there  were  not  made 
for  the  house  of  the  Lord  cups  of  silver,  snuffers, 
basons,  trumpets,  any  vessels  of  gold,  or  vessels  of 
silver,  of  the  money  that  was  brought  into  the  house 

14  of  the  Lord  :  for  they  gave  that  to  them  that  did 
the  work,  and  repaired  therewith  the  house  of  the 

15  Lord.  Moreover  they  reckoned  not  with  the  men, 
into  whose  hand  they  delivered  the  money  to  give 
to  them  that  did  the  work  :  for  they  dealt  faithfully. 

16  The  money  for  the  guilt  offerings,  and  the  money 
for  the  sin  offerings,  was  not  brought  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord  :  it  was  the  priests'. 

17  Then  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  went  up,  and  fought 
against  Gath,  and  took  it :  and  Haz'a-el  set  his  face  to 

18  go  upto  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  Je-ho'ash  kingof  Ju'dah  took 
all  the  hallowed  things  that  Je-hosh'a-phat,  and  Je- 
ho' ram, and  A-ha-zi'ali,hisfather.s,king.4of  Ju'dah, had 
dedicated  and  his  own  hallowed  things,  and  all  the 
gold  that  was  found  in  the  treasures  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  of  the  king's  house,  and  sent  it  to  Haz'-

and  'Am-a-zi'ah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER   XIII. 

Jehoahaz^ s  wicked  reign. 

IN  fthe  three  and  twentieth  year  of  Jo'ash  the  son  of 
A-ha-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  Je-ho'a-haz  the  son  of  Je'hu 
began  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  sev- 
enteen years. 

2  And  he  did  tlmt  which  teas  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  ffollowed  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
which  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin;  he  departed  not  therefrom. 

3  ^And  "the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Is'ra-el, 
and  he  delivered  them  into  the  hand  of  'Haz'a-el  king  of 
Syr'i-a,  and  into  the  hand  of  Ben-ha'dad  the  son  of  Haz'a-el, 
all  their  days. 

4  And  Je-ho'a-haz  "besought  the  Lord,  and  the  Lord 
hearkened  unto  him:  for  ''he  saw  the  oppression  of  Is'ra-el, 
because  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  oppressed  them. 

5  (^And  the  Lord  gave  Is'ra-el  a  saviour,  so  that  they  went 
out  from  under  the  hand  of  the  Syr'i-ans:  and  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  their  tents,  fas  beforetime. 

6  Nevertheless  they  departed  not  from  the  sins  of  the 
house  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  who  made  Is'ra-el  sin,  but  f  walked 
therein :  -^and  there  fremained  the  grove  also  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.) 

7  Neither  did  he  leave  of  the  people  to  Je-ho'a-haz  but 
fifty  horsemen,  and  ten  chariots,  and  ten  thousand  footmen ; 
for  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  had  destroyed  them,  "and  had  made 
them  like  the  dust  by  threshing. 

8  ^Now  the  re.st  of  the  acts  of  Je-ho'a-haz,  and  all  that  he 
did,  and  his  might,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el? 

9  And  Je-ho'a-haz  slept  with  his  fathers;  and  they  buried 
him  in  Sa-ma-ri-a:  and  ||  Jo'a.sh  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.* 

10  li  In  the  thirty  and  seventh  year  of  Jo'ash  king  of  Ju'dah 
began  ||  Je-ho'ash  the  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  sixteen  years. 

11  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord;  he  departed  not  from  all  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'a .ki  the 
son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  sin :  but  he  walked  therein. 

12  ''And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo'ash,  and  'all  that  he  did, 
and  *his  might  wherewith  he  fought  against  Am-a-zi'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el? 

13  And  Jo'ash  slept  with  his  fathers;  and  Jer-o-bo'am  sat 
upon  his  throne ;  and  Jo'ash  was  buried  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  with 
the  kings  of  Is'ra-cl. 

14  I]  Now  E-li'slia  was  fallen  sick  of  his  sickness  whereof 
he  died.  Aud  Jo'ash  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  came  down  unto 
him,  and  wept  over  his  face,  and  said,  O  my  father,  my  father ! 
'the  chariot  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  horsemen  thereof! 

15  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  him,  Take  bow  and  arrows. 
And  he  took  unto  him  bow  and  arrows. 

16  And  he  said  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  fPut  thine  hand 
upon  the  bow.  And  he  put  his  hand  upon  it :  and  E-li'sha 
put  his  hands  upon  the  king's  hands. 

17  And  he  said,  Open  the  window  eastward.  And  he 
opened  it.  Then  E-li'sha  said,  Shoot.  And  he  shot.  And 
he  said.  The  arrow  of  the  Lord's  deliverance,  and  the 
arrow  of  deliverance  from  Syr'i-a:  for  thou  .shalt  smite  the 
Syr'i-ans  in  "A'phek,  till  thou  have  consumed  them. 

18  And  he  said.  Take  the  arrows.     And  he  took  them. 


19  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo'ash,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chroni 

20  cles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ?  And  his  servants  arose, 
and  made  a  conspiracy,  and  smote  Jo'ash  at  the 
house  of  Mil'lo,  on  the  way  that  goeth  down  to  Sil'la 

21  For  Joz'a-car  the  son  of  Shim'e-ath,  and  Je-hoz'a-bad 
the  son  of  Sho'mer,  his  servants,  smote  him,  and  he 
died;  and  they  buried  him  with  his  fathers  in  the 
city  of  Da'vid:  and  Am-a-zi'ah  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

*-0  In  the  three  and  twentieth  year  of  Jo'ash  the  son 
ofA-ha-zi'ah,kingof  Ju'dah,  Je-ho'a-haz  theson  of  Je'hu 
began  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned 

2  seventeen  years.  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  followed  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el 

3 to  sin;  he  departed  not  therefrom.  And  the  anger 
of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Is'ra-el,  and  he  de- 
livered them  into  the  hand  of  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a, 
and  into  the  hand  of  Ben-ha'dad  the  son  of  Haz'a-el, 

4 'continually.  And  Je-ho'a-haz  besought  the  Lord, 
aud  the  Lord  hearkened  unto  him:  for  he  saw  the 
oppression  of  Is'ra-el,  how  that  the  king  of  Syr'i-a 

5  oppressed  them.  (And  the  Lord  gave  Is'ra-el  a 
saviour,  so  that  they  went  out  from  under  the  hand 
of  the  Syr'i-ans :  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in 

6  their  tents,  as  beforetime.  Nevertheless  they  departed 
not  from  the  sins  of  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  where- 
with he  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin,  but  ^walked  therein:  and 

7  there  remained  the  Ash'er-ah  also  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.)  For 
he  left  not  to  Je-ho'a-haz  of  thepeople  save  fifty  horse- 
men, and  ten  chariots,  and  ten  thousand  footmen; 
for  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  destroyed  them,  and  made  them 

8  like  the  dustbin  threshing.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Je-ho'a-haz,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  his  might,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 

9  kings  of  Is'ra-el?  And  Je-ho'a-haz  slept  with  his 
fathers  and  they  buried  him  in  Sa-ma'ri-a:  and  Jo'ash 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

10  In  the  thirty  and  seventh  year  of  Jo'ash  king  of 
Ju'dah  began  Je-ho'ash  the  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  to  reign 
over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  sixteen  years. 

11  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  ;  he  departed  not  from  all  the  sins  of  Jer-o- 
bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el 

12 to  sin:  but  he  walked  therein.  Now  the  rest  of 
the  acts  of  Jo'ash,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  his  might 
wherewith  he  fought  against  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of 

13  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el?  And  Jo'ash  slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  Jer-o-bo'am  sat  upon  his  throne:  and 
Jo'a.sh  was  buried  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  with  the  kings  of 
Is'ra-el. 

14  Now  E-li'.sha  was  fallen  sick  of  his  sickness  whereof 
he  died :  and  Jo'ash  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  came  down 
unto  him,  and  wept  over  ^hini,  and  said,  '^My  father, 
my  father,  the  "^chariots  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  horsemen 

15  thereof!  And  E-li'sha  said  unto  him.  Take  bow  and 
arrows:   and   he   took    unto   him  bow   and  arrows. 

16  And  he  said  to  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  Put  thine  hand 
upon  the  bow:  and  he  put  his  hand  upon  it.     And 

17  E-li'sha  laid  his  hands  upon  the  king's  hands.  And 
he  said.  Open  the  window  eastward:  and  he  opened 
it.  Then  E-li'sha  said,  Shoot:  and  he  shot.  And  he 
said.  The  Lord's  arrow  of  "victory,  even  the  arrow 
of  'victory  *over  Syr'i-a:  for  thou  shalt  smite  the 
Syr'i-ans  in  A'phek,  till  thou  have  consumed  them. 

18  And  he  said,  'Take  the  arrows:  and  he  took  them.

And  he  said  unto  the  king  of  Ifi'ra-ell,  Smite  upon  the  ground. 
And  he  smote  tarice,  and  stayed. 

19  And  the  man  of  God  was  wroth  with  him,  and  said, 
Thou  shouldest  have  smitten  five  or  six  times;  then  hadst 
thou  smitten  Syr'i-a  till  thou  hadst  consumed  it:  "whereas 
now  thou  shalt  smite  Syr'i-a  but  thrice. 

20  ^And  E-li'sha  died,  and  they  buried  him.  And  the 
bands  of  the  Mo'ab-ites  invaded  the  land  at  the  coming  iu 
of  the  year. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  were  burying  a  man,  that, 
behold,  they  spied  a  band  of  men;  and  they  cast  the  man 
into  the  sepulchre  of  E-li'sha :  and  when  the  man  fwas  let 
down,  and  touched  the  bones  of  E-li'sha,  he  revived,  and 
stood  lip  on  his  feet. 

22  IJBut  «Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  oppressed  Is'ra-el  all  the 
days  of  Je-ho'a-haz. 

23  'And  the  Lord  Avas  gracious  unto  them,  and  had  com- 
passion on  them,  and  'had  respect  unto  them,  'because  of  his 
covenantwith  A'bra-hara,I'saac,and  Ja't;ob,and  would  notde- 
stroy  them,  neither  cast  he  them  from  his  fpresence  as  yet. 

24  So  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  died ;  and  Ben-ha'dad  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

25  And  Je-ho'ash  the  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  ftook  again  out  of 
the  hand  of  Ben-ha'dad  the  son  of  Haz'a-el  the  cities,  which 
he  had  taken  out  of  the  hand  of  Je-ho'a-haz  his  father  by  war. 
"Three  times  did  Jo'ash  beat  him,  and  recovered  the  cities 
of  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Amaziah's  good  reign — His  justice  on  the  murderers  of  his  father. 

IN  "the  second  year  of  Jo'ash  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  king  of 
Is'ra-el  reigned'Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of  Ju'dah. 

2  He  was  twenty  and  five  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  reigned  twenty  and  nine  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  his  mother's  name  was  Je-ho-ad'dan  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  yet  not  like  Da'vid  his  father :  he  did  according  to 
all  things  as  Jo'ash  his  father  did. 

4  'Howbeit  the  high  places  were  not  taken  away:  as  yet 
the  people  did  sacrifice,  and  burnt  incense  on  the  high  places. 

5  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  the  kingdom  was  con- 
firmed in  his  hand,  that  he  slew  his  servants  ''which  had 
slain  the  king  his  father. 

6  But  the  children  of  the  murderers  he  slew  not :  accord- 
ing unto  that  which  is  written  in  the  book  of  the  law  of 
Mo'ses,  wherein  the  Lord  commanded,  saying,  'The  fathers 
shall  not  be  put  to  death  for  the  children,  nor  the  children 
be  put  to  death  for  the  fathers ;  but  every  man  shall  be  put 
to  death  for  his  own  sin. 

7  ■'^He  slew  of  E'dom  in  'the  valley  of  salt  ten  thousand, 
and  took  ||Se'iah  by  war,  *and  called  the  name  of  it  Jok'- 
the-el  unto  this  day. 

8  ^'Then  Am-a-zi'ah  sent  messengers  to  Je-ho'ash,  the  son 
of  Je-ho'a-haz,  son  of  Je'hu,  king  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  Come, 
let  us  look  one  another  in  the  face. 

9  And  Je-ho'ash  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  sent  to  Am-a-zi'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah,  saying,  *The  thistle  that  was  in  Leb'a-non  sent  to 
the  'cedar  that  was  in  Leb'a-non,  saying.  Give  thy  daughter 
to  my  son  to  wife :  and  there  passed  by  a  wild  beast  that 
was  in  Leb'a-non,  and  trode  down  the  thistle. 

10  Thou  hast  indeed  smitten  E'dom,  and  "thine  heart  hath 
lifted  thee  up:  glory  of  this,  and  tarry  fat  home:  for  why 
shouldest  thou  meddle  to  thy  hurt,  that  thou  shouldest  fall, 
even  thou,  and  Ju'dah  with  thee? 

11  But  Am-a-zi'ah  would  not  hear.  Therefore  Je-ho'ash 
king  of  Is'ra-el  went  up ;  and  he  and  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  looked  one  another  in  the  face  at  "Beth-she'mesh, 
which  belongeth  to  Ju'dah. 

12  And  Ju'dah  fwas  put  to  the  worse  before  Is'ra-el;  and 
they  fled  every  man  to  their  tents. 


And  he  said  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  Smite  upon 
19 the  ground:  and  he  smote  thrice,  and  stayed.  And 
the  man  of  God  was  wroth  with  him,  and  said, 
Thou  shouldest  have  smitten  five  or  six  times; 
then  hadst  thou  smitten  Syr'i-a  till  thou  hadst 
consumed  it :  whereas  now  thou  shalt  smite  Syr'i-r. 
but  thrice. 

20  And  E-Ii'sha  died,  and  they  buried  him.  Now  the 
bands  of  the  Mo'ab-ites  invaded  the  land  at  the  com- 

21  ing  in  of  the  year.  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  as  they 
were  burying  a  man,  that,  behold,  they  spied  a  band ; 
avi  they  cast  the  man  into  the  sepulchre  of  E-li'sha: 
anc.  as  soon  as  the  man  touched  the  bones  of  E-li'sha, 
he  revived,  and  stood  up  on  his  feet. 

22  And  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  oppressed  Is'ra-el  all  the 

23  days  of  Je-ho'a-haz.  But  the  Lord  was  gracious  unto 
them,  and  had  compassion  on  them,  and  had  respect 
unto  them,  because  of  his  covenant  with  A'bra-ham, 
I'saac,  and  Ja'cob,  and  would  not  destroy  them, 
neither    cast  he    them    from    his    presence  ^as    yet. 

24 And  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  died;  and  Ben-ha'dad 
25  his  son  reigned  iu  his  stead.  And  Je-ho'ash  the  son 
of  Je-ho'a-haz  took  again  out  of  the  hand  of  Ben- 
ha'dad  the  son  of  Haz'a-el  the  cities  which  he  had 
taken  out  of  the  hand  of  Je-ho'a-haz  his  father  by  war. 
Three  times  did  Jo'ash  smite  him,  and  recovered  the 
cities  of  Is'ra-el. 

I"*  'In  the  second  year  of  Jo'ash  son  of  Jo'a-haz  king 
of  Is'ra-el  began  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of 

2  Ju'dah  to  reign.  He  was  twenty  and  five  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  twenty  and 
nine  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  :  and  his  mother's  name  was 

3  Je-ho-ad'din  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  yet  not  like 
Da'vid   his    father:    he    did    according  to    all  that 

4  Jo'ash  his  father  had  done.  Howbeit  the  high 
places  were  not  taken  away :   the  people  still   sac- 

5rificed  and  burnt  incense  in  the  high  places.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as  the  kingdom  was  estab- 
lished in  his  hand,  that  he  slew  his  servants  which 

6 had  slain  the  king  his  father:  but  the  children  of 
the  murderers  he  put  not  to  death  :  according  to 
that  which  is  written  in  the  book  of  the  law  of 
Mo'ses,  as  the  Lord  commanded,  saying.  The  fathers 
shall  not  be  put  to  death  for  the  children,  nor  the 
children  be  put  to  death  for  the  fathers ;  but  every 

7  man  shall  die  for  his  own  sin.  He  slew  of  E'dom 
in  the  Valley  of  Salt  ten  thousand,  and  took  *Se'la 
by  war,  and  called  the  name  of  it  Jok'the-el,  unto 
this  day. 

8  Then  Am-a-zi'ah  sent  messengers  to  Je-ho'ash,  the 
son  of  Je-ho'a-hazson  of  Je'hu,  king  of  Is'ra-el,  saying, 

9  Come,  let  us  look  one  another  in  the  face.  And 
Je-ho'ash  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  sent  to  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  saying.  The  Hhistle  that  was  in  Leb'a-non  sent 
to  the  cedar  that  was  in  Leb'a-non,  saying.  Give  thy 
daughter  to  my  son  to  wife :  and  there  passed  by  a 
wild  beast  that  was  in  Leb'a-non,  and  trode  down 

10  the  thistle.  Thou  hast  indeed  smitten  E'dom,  and 
thine  heart  hath  lifted  thee  up :  glory  thereof,  and 
abide  at  home;  for  why  shouldest  thou  ''meddle 
to  thy  hurt,  that    thou   shouldest    fall,  even  thou, 

Hand  Ju'dah  with  thee?  But  Am-a-zi'ah  would  not 
hear.  So  Je-ho'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el  went  up ;  and 
he  and  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  looked  one  an- 
other in  the  face  at  Beth-she'mesh,  which   belong- 

12eth  to  Ju'dah.  And  Ju'dah  was  put  to  the  worse 
before  Is'ra-el ;  and  they  fled  every  man  to  his  tent.

13  And  Je-ho'ash  king  of  Is'ra-ei  took  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  the  son  of  Je-ho'ash  the  son  of  A-ha-zi'ah,  at  Beth- 
she'mesh,  and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  brake  down  the  wall 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  "the  gate  of  E'phra-im  unto  "the  corner 
gate,  four  hundred  cubits. 

14  And  he  took  all  "the  gold  and  silver,  and  all  the  vessels 
that  were  found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  treasures 
of  the  king's  house,  and  hostages,  and  returned  to  Sa-ma'-ri-a. 

15  ^''Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-ho'ash  which  he  did, 
and  his  might,  and  how  he  fought  with  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

16  And  Je-ho'ash  slept  with  his  father.s,  and  was  buried  in 
Sa-ma'ri-a  with  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  Jer-o-bo'am  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

17  ^'And  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of  Ju'dah  lived 
after  the  death  of  Je-ho'ash  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el fifteen  years. 

18  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Am-a-zi'ah,  are  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 

1 9  Now  'they  made  a  conspiracy  against  him  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  : 
and  he  fled  to  "La'chish ;  but  they  sent  after  him  to  La'chish, 
and  slew  him  there. 

20  And  they  brought  him  on  horses:  and  he  was  buried 
at  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid. 

21  ^And  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah  took'' Az-a-ri'ah,  which  was 
sixteen  years  old,  and  made  him  king  instead  of  his  father 
Am-a-zi'ah. 

22  He  built  "E'lath,  and  restored  it  to  Ju'dah,  after  that 
the  king  slept  with  his  fathers. 

23  %tn  the  fifteenth  year  of  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash 
king  of  Ju'dah,  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el 
began  to  reign  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  forty  and  one  years. 

24  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  :  he  departed  not  from  all  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the 
son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

25  He  restored  the  coast  of  Is'ra-el  'from  the  entering  of 
Ha'math  unto  "the  sea  of  the  plain,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  he  spake  by  the  hand  of 
his  servant  'Jo'nah,  the  son  of  A-mit'tai,  the  prophet,  which 
was  of  'Gath-he'pher. 

26  For  the  Lord  "^saw  the  affliction  of  Is'ra-el,  that  it  was 
very  bitter:  for  'there  was  not  any  shut  up,  nor  any  left, 
nor  any  helper  for  Is'ra-el. 

27  -'^Aud  the  Lord  said  not  that  he  would  blot  out  the 
name  of  Is'ra-el  from  under  heaven :  but  he  saved  them  by 
the  hand  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Jo'ash. 

28  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  all  that

Is'ra-el,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

29  And  Jer-o-bo'am  slept  with  his  fathers,  even  with  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el;  and  ''Zach-a-ri'ah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

Azariah^s  good  reign— Jotham  succeedeth  him, 

IN  the  twenty  and  seventh  year  ofJer-o-bo'am  king  of  Is'ra-el 
°began''Az-a-ri'ah  son  ofAm-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  to  reign. 

2  Sixteen  years  old  was  he  when  he  began  to  reign,  and 
he  reigned  two  and  fifty  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  Jech-o-li'ah  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  father  Am-a-zi'ah  had  done; 

4  ^Save  that  the  high  places  were  not  removed :  the  people 
sacrificed  and  burnt  incense  still  on  the  high  places. 

5  ^And  the  Lord  ''smote  the  king,  so  that  he  was  a  leper 
unto  the  day  of  his  death,  and  'dwelt  in  a  several  house. 
And  Jo'tham  the  king's  son  was  over  the  house,  judging  the 
people  of  the  land. 


13  And  Je-ho'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el  took  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  the  son  of  Je-ho'ash  the  son  of  A-ha-zi'ah ,  at 
Beth-she'mesh,  and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  brake 
down  the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  the  gate  of 
E'phra-im  unto  the  corner  gate,  four  hundred    cu- 

14  bits.  And  he  took  all  the  gold  and  silver,  and  all  the 
ves.sels  that  were  found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  in   the  treasures  of  the  king's  house,  the  host- 

15  ages  also,  and  returned  to  Sa-ma'ri-a.  Now  the  rest 
of  the  acts  of  Je-ho'ash  which  he  did,  and  his  might, 
and  how  he  fought  with  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles 

16  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ?  And  Je-ho'ash  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  with  the  kings  of 
Is'ra-el ;  and  Jer-o-bo'am  his  .son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

17  And  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  ot  Ju'dah 
lived  after  the  death  of  Je-ho'ash  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz 

18  king  of  Is'ra-el  fifteen  years.  Now  the  rest  of  the 
acts  of  Am-a-zi'ah,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book 

19  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah?  And  they 
made  a  conspiracy  against  him  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and 
he  fled  to  La'chish :  but  they  sent  after  him  to  La'- 

20chish,  and  slew  him  there.  And  they  brought  him 
upon  horses :  and  he  was  buried  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  with 

21  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid.  And  all  the  jieople 
of  Ju'dah  took  'Az-a-ri'ah,  who  was  sixteen  years  old, 
and  made  him  king  in  the  room  of  his  father  Am-a- 

22  zi'ah.  He  built  E'lath,  and  restored  it  to  Ju'dah,  after 
that  the  king  slept  with  his  fathers. 

23  In  the  fifteenth  year  of  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash 
king  of  Ju'dah  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of 
Is'ra-el  began  to  reign  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  forty 

24 and  one  years.  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord  :  he  departed  not  from  all  the 
sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  wherewith  he 

25  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin.  He  restored  the  border  of 
Is'ra-el  from  the  entering  in  of  Ha'math  unto  the  sea 
of  the  Ar'a-bah,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  he  spake  by  the  hand  of 
his  servant  Jo'nah  the  son  of  A-mit'tai,  the  prophet, 

26  which  was  of  Gath-he'pher.  For  the  Lord  saw  the 
affliction  of  Is'ra-el,  that  it  was  very  bitter:  for  there 
was  none  shut  up  nor  left  at  large,  neither  was  there 

27  any  helper  for  Is'ra-el.  And  the  Lord  said  not  that 
he  would  blot  out  the  name  of  Is'ra-el  from  under 
heaven :  but  he  saved  them  by  the  hand  of  Jer-o- 

28  bo'am  the  son  of  Jo'ash.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  his  might, 
how  he  warred,  and  how  he  recovered  Da-mas'cus, 
and  Ha'math,  wAie/t/(a(i  belonged  to  Ju'dah,  for  Is'ra-el, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of 

29  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ?  And  Jer-o-bo'am  slept  with  his 
fathers,  even  with  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el;  and  Zech-a- 
ri'ah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

4-0  In  the  twenty  and  seventh  year  of  Jer-o-bo'am  king 
of  Is'ra-el  began  ^A,z-a-ri'a.h  son  of  Am-a-zi'ah  king 

2  of  Ju'dah  to  reign.  'Sixteen  years  old  was  he  when 
he  began  to  reign;  and  he  reigned  two  and  fifty 
years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and   his   mother's  name  was 

3  Jec-o-li'ah  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  according  to  all 

4  that  his  father  Am-a-zi'ah  had  done.  Howbeit  the 
high  places  were  not  taken  away :  the  people  still 
sacrificed    and    burnt    incense    in    the  high  places. 

6 'And  the  Lord  smote  the  king,  so  that  he  was  a 
leper  unto  the  day  of  his  death,  and  dwelt  in  a 
"several  house.  And  Jo'tham  the  king's  son  was 
over  the  household,  judging  the  people  of  the  land.

6  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Az-a-ri'ah,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah? 

7  So  Az-a-ri'ah  slept  with  his  fathers;  and  -^they  buried  him 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid;  and  Jo'tham  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

8  ^In  the  thirty  and  eighth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  did  Zach-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Jer-o-bo'am  reign  over 
Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  six  months. 

9  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
as  his  fathers  had  done :  he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

10  And  Shal'lumthe  son  of  Ja'besh  conspired  against  him, 
and  "smote  him  before  the  people,  and  slew  him,  and  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

11  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Zach-a-ri'ah,  behold,  they  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

12  This  was  *the  word  of  the  Lord  which  he  spake  unto 
Je'hu,  saying.  Thy  sons  shall  sit  on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el  unto 
the  fourth  generation.     And  so  it  came  to  pass. 

13  ^Shal'lum  the  son  of  Ja'besh  began  to  reign  in  the  nine 
and  thirtieth  year  of 'Uz-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah;  and  he  reigned 
fa  full  month  in  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

14  For  Men'a-hem  the  son  of  Ga'di  went  up  from  *Tir'zah, 
and  came  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  smote  Shal'lum  the  son  of  Ja'besh 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  slew  him,  and  reigned  in  his  stead. 

15  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Shal'lum,  and  his  conspiracy 
which  he  made,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

16  ^Then  Men'a-hem  smote  'Tiph'sah,  and  all  that  were 
therein,  and  the  coasts  thereof  from  Tir'zah :  because  they 
opened  not  to  him,  therefore  he  smote  it;  and  all  '"the  women 
therein  that  were  with  child  he  ripped  up. 

17  In  the  nine  and  thirtieth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
began  Men'a-hem  the  son  of  Ga'di  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el,  and 
reigned  ten  years  in  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

18  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  : 
he  departed  not  all  his  days  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the 
son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

19  ^And^ViA  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came  against  the  land  : 
and  Men'a-hem  gave  Pul  a  thousand  talents  of  silver,  that 
his  hand  might  be  with  him  to  "confirm  the  kingdom  in 
his  hand. 

20  And  Men'a-hem  fexacted  the  money  of  Is'ra-el,  even  of 
all  the  mighty  men  of  wealth,  of  each  man  fifty  shekels  of 
silver,  to  give  to  the  king -of  As-syr'i-a.  So  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a  turned  back,  and  stayed  not  there  in  the  land. 

21  ^And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Men'a-hem,  and  all  that 
he  did,  are  they  not  Avritten  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

22  And  Men'a-hem  slept  with  his  fathers ;  and  Pek-a-hi'ah 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

23  ^In  the  fiftieth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  Pek- 
a-hi'ah  the  son  of  Men'a-hem  began  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el  in 
Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  two  years. 

24  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  : 
he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

25  But  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah,  a  captain  of  his,  con- 
spired against  him,  and  smote  him  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  in  the  palace 
of  the  king's  house,  with  Ar'gob  and  A-ri'eh,  and  with  him 
fifty  men  of  the  Gil'e-ad-ites :  and  he  killed  him,  and  reigned 
in  his  room. 

26  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Pek-a-hi'ah,  and  all  that  he 
did,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

27  ^In  the  two  and  fi  ftieth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah, 
"Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah  began  to  reign  over  Is'ra-el 
in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  twenty  years. 


6  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Az-a-ri'ah,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chron- 

7icles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah?  And  Az-a-ri'ah  slept 
with  his  fathers;  and  they  buried  him  with  his 
fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid:  and  Jo'tham  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

8  In  the  thirty  and  eighth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  did  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Jer-o-bo'am  reign 

9  over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  six  months.  And  he  did 
that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  as  his 
fathers  had  done:  he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  wherewith  he  made  Is'- 

lO  ra-el  to  sin.  And  Shal'lum  the  son  of  Ja'besh  con- 
spired against  him,  and  smote  him  before  the  people. 

Hand  slew  him,  and  reigned  in  his  stead.  Now  the 
rest  of  the  acts  of  Zech-a-ri'ah,  behold,  they  are  written 
in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

12  This  was  the  word  of  the  Lord  which  he  spake  unto 
Je'hu,  saying,  Thy  sons  to  the  fourth  generation  shall 
sit  upon  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el.  And  so  it  came  to  pass. 

13  Shal'lum  the  son  of  Ja'besh  began  to  reign  in  the 
nine  and  thirtieth  year  of  Uz-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah; 
and  he  reigned  the  space  of  a  month  in  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

14  And  Men'a-hem  the  son  of  Ga'di  went  up  from 
Tir'zah,  and  came  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  smote  Shal'lum 
the  son  of  Ja'besh  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  slew  him,  and 

15  reigned  in  his  stead.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Shal'lum,  and  his  conspiracy  which  he  made,  behold, 
they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 

16  kings  of  Is'ra-el.  Then  Men'a-hem  smote  Tiph'sah, 
and  all  that  were  therein,  and  the  borders  thereof, 
from  Tii"'zah:  because  they  opened  not  to  him,  there- 
fore he  smote  it;  and  all  the  women  therein  that 
were  with  child  he  ripped  up. 

17  In  the  nine  and  thirtieth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  began  Men'a-hem  the  son  of  Ga'di  to  reign 

1 8  over  Is'ra-el,  and  reigned  ten  years  in  Sa-ma'ri-a.  And 
he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord: 
he  departed  not  all  his  days  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o- 
bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el 

19  to  sin.  There  came  against  the  land  Pul  the  king 
of  As-syr'i-a ;  and  Men'a-hem  gave  Pul  a  thou.sand 
talents  of  silver,  that  his  hand  might  be  with  him  to 

20 confirm  the  kingdom  in  his  hand.  And  Men'a-hem 
exacted  the  money  of  Is'ra-el,  even  of  all  the  mighty 
men  of  wealth,  of  each  man  fifty  shekels  of  silver,  to 
give  to  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  So  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a 

21  turned  back,  and  stayed  not  there  in  the  land.  Now 
the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Men'a-hem,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of 

22  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el?  And  Men'a-hem  slept  with  his 
fathers;  and  Pek-a-hi'ah  his  .son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

23  In  the  fiftieth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  Pek- 
a-hi'ah  the   son  of  Men'a-hem  began  to  reign  over 

24  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  two  years.  And  he 
did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  : 
he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son 

25  of  Ne'bat,  wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin.  And 
Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah,  his  captain,  conspired 
against  him,  and  smote  him  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  in  the  'ca.stle 
of  the  king's  house,  with  Ar'gob  and  A-ri'eh ;  and  with 
him  were  fifty  men  of  the  Gil'e-ad-ites:  and  he  slew 

26  him,  and  reigned  in  his  .stead.  Now  the  rest  of  the

are  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

27  In  the  two  and  fiftieth  year  of  Az-a-ri'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah  began  to  reign 
over  Is'ra-el  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  reigned  twenty  years.

28  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  :  he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of  Jor-o-bo'am  the 
son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

29  ^In  the  days  of  Pe'kah  king  of  Is'ra-el  «came  Tig'- 
lath-pi-le'ser  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  took  'I'jon,  and  A'bel- 
beth-ma'a-chah,  and  Ja-no'ah,  and  Ke'desh,  and  Ha'zor, 
and  Gil'e-ad,  and  Gal'i-lee,  all  the  land  of  Naph'ta-li,  and 
carried  them  captive  to  As-syr'i-a. 

30  *lTAnd  Ho-she'a  the  son  of  E'lah  made  a  conspiracy 
against  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah,  and  smote  him,  and 
slew  him,  and  'reigned  in  his  stead,  'in  the  twentieth  year 
of  Jotham  the  son  of  Uz-zi'ah. 

31  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Pe'kah,  and  all  that  he  did, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

32  T[In  the  second  year  of  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah 
king  of  Is'ra-el  began  "Jo'tham  the  son  of  Uz-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  to  reign. 

33  Five  and  twenty  years  old  was  he  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  Je-ru'sha,  the  daughter  of  Za'dok. 

34  And  he  did  that  which  7oas  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  :  he  did  ''according  to  all  that  his  father  Uz-zi'ah  had 
done. 

35  "Howbeit  the  high  places,  were  not  removed :  the 
people  sacrificed  and  burned  incense  still  in  the  high  places. 
'He  built  the  higher  gate  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

36  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo'tham,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 

37  In  those  days  the  Lord  began  to  send  against  Ju'dah 
"Re'zin  the  king  of  Syr'i-a,  and  'Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah. 

38  And  Jo'tham  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and  A'haz  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAF-XER  XVI. 

Ahaz's  wicked  reign — Hezekiah  succeedeth  him, 

IN  the  seventeenth  year  of  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah, 
"A'haz  the  son  of  Jo'tham  king  of  Ju'dah  began  to  reign. 

2  Twenty  years  old  was  A'haz  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  did  not  that 
which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  his  God,  like 
Da'vid  his  father. 

3  But  he  walked  in  the  way  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  yea, 
'and  made  his  son  to  pass  through  the  fire,  according  to  the 
"Bbominations  of  the  heathen,  whom  the  Lord  cast  out 
from  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  And  he  sacrificed  and  burnt  incense  in  the  high  places, 
and  ''on  the  hills,  and  under  every  green  tree. 

5  TI'Then  Re'zin  king  of  Syr'i-a,  and  Pe'kah  son  of  Rem-a- 
li'ah  king  of  Is'ra-el,  came  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  war :  and 
they  besieged  A'haz,  but  could  not  overcome  him. 

6  At  that  time  Re'zin  king  of  Syr'i-a  ^recovered  E'lath 
to  Syr'i-a,  and  drave  the  Jews  from  f  E'lath  :  and  the  Syr'i- 
ans  came  to  E'lath,  and  dwelt  there  unto  this  day. 

7  So  A'haz  sent  messengers  'to  fTig'lath-pi-le'ser  king 
of  As-syr'i-a,  saying,  I  am  thy  servant  and  thy  son :  come 
up,  and  save  me  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a, 
and  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  which  rise  up 
against  me. 

8  And  A'haz  'took  the  silver  and  gold  that  was  found  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  treasures  of  the  king's 
house,  and  sent  it  for  a  present  to  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

9  And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  hearkened  unto  him :  for  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a  went  up  against  fDa-mas'cus,  and  'took  it, 
and  carried  the  people  of  it  captive  to  Kir,  and  slew  Re'zin. 

10  ^f  And  king  A'haz  went  to  Da-mas'cus  to  meet  Tig'lath- 
pi-le'ser  king  of  As-syr'i-a,and  saw  an  altar  that  was  at  Da-mas'- 
cus :  and  king  A'haz  sent  to  U-ri'jah  the  priest  the  fashion 


28  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  :  he  departed  not  from  the  sins  of  Jer-o-bo'am 
the  son  of  Ne'bat,  wherewith  he  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin. 

29  In  the  days  of  Pe'kah  king  of  Is'ra-el  came  Tig'lath- 
pi-le'ser  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  took  I'jon,  and  A'bel- 
beth-ma'a-cah,  and  Ja-no'ah,  and  Ke'desh,and  Ha'zor, 
and  Gil'e-ad,  and  Gal'i-lee,  all  the  land  of  Naph'ta-li; 

30  and  he  carried  them  captive  to  As-syr'i-a.  And  Ho- 
she'a  the  son  of  E'lah  made  a  conspiracy  against 
Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah,  and  smote  him,  and 
slew  him,  and  reigned  in  his  stead,  in  the  twentieth 

31  year  of  Jo'tham  the  son  of  Uz-zi'ah.  Now  the  rest 
of  the  acts  of  Pe'kah,  and  all  that  he  did,  behold, 
they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

C2  In  the  second  year  of  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah 
king  of  Is'ra-el  began  Jo'tham  the  sonof  Uz-zi'ah  king 

33  of  Ju'dah  to  reign.  'Five  and  twenty  years  old  was 
he  when  he  began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  sixteen 
years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :    and  his  mother's  name  was 

34  Je-ru'sha  the  daughter  of  Za'dok.  And  he  did  that 
which  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  :  he  did 
according  to  all  that  his  father  Uz-zi'ah  had  done. 

35 Howbeit  the  high  places  were  not  taken  away:  the 
people  still  sacrificed  and  burned  incense  in  the  high 
places.     He  built  the  upper  gate  of  the  house  of  the 

36  Lord.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo'tham,  and  all 
that  he  did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 

37 chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah?  In  those  days 
the  Lord  began  to  send  against  Ju'dah  Re'zin  the 
king  of  Syr'i-a,  and  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah. 

38  And  Jo'tham  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and 
A'haz  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

+0  In  the  seventeenth  year  of  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem 
a-li'ah  A'haz  the  son  of  Jo'tham  king  of  Ju'dah  began 

2  to  reign.     Twenty  years  old  was  A'haz  when  he  began 
to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem 
and  he  did  not  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes  of 

3  the  Lord  his  God,  like  Da'vid  his  father.  But  he 
walked  in  the  way  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  yea,  and 
made  his  son  to  pass  through  the  fire,  according  to 
the  abominations  of  the  heathen,  whom  the  Lord 

4  cast  out  from  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he 
sacrificed  and  burnt  incense  in  the  high  places,  and 

5  on  the  hills,  and  under  every  green  tree.  Then 
Re'zin  king  of  Syr'i-a  and  Pe'kah  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah 
king  of  Is'ra-el  came  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  war:  and 
they  besieged  A'haz,  but  could  not  overcome  him. 

6  At  that  time  Re'zin  king  of  Syr'i-a  recovered  E'lath 
to  Syr'i-a,  and  drave  the  Jews  from  ^E'lath :  and  the 
•''Syr'i-ans  came  to  E'lath,  and  dwelt  there,  unto  this 

7  day.  ''So  A'haz  sent  messengers  to  Tig'lath-pi-le'ser 
king  of  As-syr'i-a,  saying,  I  am  thy  servant  and  thy 
son :  come  up,  and  save  me  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Syr'i-a,  and  out  of  the  hand  of  the    king 

8  of  Is'ra-el,  which  rise  up  against  me.  And  A'haz 
took  the  silver  and  gold  that  was  found  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  treasures  of  the  king's 
house,  and  sent  it  for  a  present  to  the  king  of  As- 

9  syr'i-a.  And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  hearkened  unto 
him :  and  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  went  up  against  Da- 
mas'cus,   and  took  it,   and    carried   the  people  of  it 

10  captive  to  Kir,  and  slew  Re'ziu.  And  king  A'haz 
went  to  Da-mas'cus  to  meet  Tig'lath-pi-le'ser  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  and  saw  the  altar  that  was  at  Da-mas'cus : 
and  king  A'haz  sent  to  U-ri'jah  the  priest  the  fashion  I

of  the  altar,  and  the  pattern  of  it,  according  to  all  the  work- 
manship thereof. 

11  And  U-ri'jah  the  priest  built  an  altar  according  to  all 
that  king  A'haz  had  sent  from  Da-mas'cus:  so  U-ri'jah  the 
priest  made  it  against  king  A'haz  came  from  Da-mas'cus. 

12  And  when  the  king  was  come  from  Da-mas'cus,  the 
king  saw  the  altar :  and  *the  king  approached  to  the  altar, 
and  offered  thereon. 

13  And  he  burnt  his  burnt  offering  and  his  meat  offering, 
and  poured  his  drink  offering,  and  sprinkled  the  blood  of 
this  peace  offerings  upon  the  altar. 

14  And  he  brought  also  the  Hbrazen  altar,  which  was  be- 
fore the  LoBD,  from  the  forefront  of  the  house,  from  between 
the  altar  and  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  put  it  on  the  north 
side  of  the  altar. 

15  And  king  A'haz  commanded  U-ri'jah  the  priest,  saying. 
Upon  the  great  altar  burn  "the  morning  burnt  offering,  and 
the  evening  meat  offering,  and  the  king's  burnt  sacrifice,  and 
his  meat  offering,  with  the  burnt  offering  of  ail  the  people 
of  the  land,  and  their  meat  offering,  and  their  drink  offer- 
ings ;  and  sprinkle  upon  it  all  the  blood  of  the  burnt  offer- 
ing, and  all  the  blood  of  the  sacrifice :  and  the  brazen  altar 
shall  be  for  me  to  inquire  by. 

16  Thus  did  U-ri'jah  the  priest,  according  to  all  that  king 
A'haz  commanded. 

17  ^"And  king  A'haz  cut  off  "the  borders  of  the  bases, 
and  removed  the  laver  from  off  them ;  and  took  down  'the 
sea  from  off  the  brazen  oxen  that  were  under  H,  and  put  it 
upon  a  pavement  of  stones. 

18  And  the  covert  for  the  sabbath  that  they  had  built  in 
the  house,  and  the  king's  entry  without,  turned  he  from  the 
house  of  the  Lord  for  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

1 9  '-jl  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  A'haz  which  he  did,  are  they 
notwritteninthebookoftheChroniclesofthekingsof  Ju'dah? 

20  And  A'haz  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  'was  buried  with 
his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid:  and  Hez-e-ki'ah  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

Hoshia^s  wicked  reign. 

IN  the  twelfth  year  of  A'haz  king  of  Ju'dah  began  "Ho-she'a 
the  son  of  E'lah, to  reign  inSa-ma'ri-a  over  Is'ra-elnine  years. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
but  not  as  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  that  were  before  him. 

3  ^Against  him  came  up'Shal-ma-ne'ser  king  of  As-syr'i-a ; 
and  Ho-she'r  became  his  servant,  and  fgave  him  ||  presents. 

4  And  the  king  ot  As-syr'i-a  found  conspiracy  in  Ho- 
she'a :  for  he  had  sent  messengers  to  So  king  of  E'gypt,  and 
brought  no  present  to  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  as  he  had  done 
year  by  year:  therefore  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  shut  him  up, 
and  bound  him  in  prison. 

5  ^Then  "the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came  up  throughout  all 
the  land,  and  went  up  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  besieged  it  three  years. 

6  '^''In  the  ninth  year  of  Ho-shc'a,  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a 
took  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  'carried  Is'ra-el  away  into  As-syr'i-a, 
•'^and  placed  them  in  Ha'lah  and  in  Ha'bor  by  the  river  of 
Go'zan.  and  in  tlie  cities  of  the  Medes. 

7  For  so  it  was,  that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  had  sinned 
against  the  Lord  their  God,  which  had  brought  them  up 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  from  under  the  hand  of  Pha'raon 
king  of  E'gypt,  and  had  feared  other  gods, 

8  And  'walked  in  the  statutes  of  the  heathen  whom  the 
Lord  cast  out  from  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  of 
the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  which  they  had  made. 

9  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  secretly  those  things  that 
were  not  right  against  the  Lord  their  God,  and  they  built 
them  high  places  in  all  their  cities,  *from  the  tower  of  the 
watchmen  to  the  fenced  city. 

10  'And  they  set  them  up  fimages  and  *groves  'in  every 
high  hill,  and  under  every  green  tree : 


of  the  altar,  and  the  pattern  of  it,  according  to  all  the 

11  workmanship  thereof.  And  U-ri'jah  the  priest  built 
an  altar :  according  to  all  that  king  A'haz  had  sent 
from  Da-mas'cus  so  did  U-ri'jah  the  priest  make  it 

12  against  king  A'haz  came  from  Da-mas'cus.  And 
when  the  king  was  come  from  Da-mas'cus,  the  king 
saw  the  altar:   and  the  king  drew  near  unto   the 

13  altar,  and  'offered  thereon.  And  he  burnt  his  burnt 
offering  and  his  meal  offering,  and  poured  his  drink 
offering,  and  sprinkled  the  blood  of  ^his  peace  offer- 

]4ings,  upon  the  altar.  And  the  brasen  altar,  which 
was  before  the  Lord,  he  brought  from  the  forefront 
of  the  house,  from  between  his  altar  and  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  put  it  on  the  north  side  of  his 

15  altar.  And  king  A'haz  commanded  U-ri'jah  the  priest, 
saying.  Upon  the  great  altar  burn  the  morning  burnt 
offering,  and  the  evening  meal  offering,  and  the 
king's  burnt  offiering,  and  his  meal  offering,  with  the 
burnt  offering  of  all  the  people  of  the  land,  and 
their  meal  offering,  and  their  drink  offerings ;  and 
sprinkle  upon  it  all  the  blood  of  the  burnt  offering, 
and  all  the   blood  of  the  sacrifice :  but  the  brasen 

16  altar  shall  be  for  me  to  inquire  by.  Thus  did  U-ri'jah 
the   priest,  according  to  all  that  king   A'haz  com- 

17manded.  And  king  A'haz  cut  off  the  ^borders  of 
the  bases,  and  removed  the  laver  from  off  them; 
and  took  down  the  sea  from  off  the  brasen  oxen 
that  were  under  it,  and  put  it  upon  a  pavement  of 

18  stone.  And  the  ^covered  way  for  the  sabbath  that 
they  had  built  in  the  house,  and  the  king's  entry 
without,  turned  he  'unto  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

19  because  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  Now  the  rest  of 
the  acts  of  A'haz  which  he  did,  are  they  not  written 
in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah? 

20  And  A'haz  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried 
with  his  fathers  in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and  Hez-e-ki'ah 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

i-4  In  the  twelfth  year  of  A'haz  king  of  Ju'dah  began 
Ho-she'a  the  son  of  E'lah  to  reign  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  over 

2  Is'ra-el,  and  reigned  nine  years.  And  he  did  that 
which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  yet  not  as 

3  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  that  were  before  him.  Against 
him  came  up  Shal-ma-ne'ser  king  of  As-syr'i-a ;  and 
Ho-she'a  became  his  servant,  and  brought  him  pres- 

4  ents.  And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  found  conspiracy  in 
Ho-she'a;  for  he  had  sent  messengers  to  So  king  of 
E'gypt,  and  offered  no  present  to  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a,  as  he  had  done  year  by  year :  therefore  the 
king  of  As-syr'i"  shut  him  up,  and  bound  him  in 

5  prison.  Then  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came  up  through- 
out all  the  land,  and  went  up  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  be- 

6  sieged  it  three  years.  In  the  ninth  year  of  Ho-she'a, 
the  kingof As-syr'i-a  took  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  carried  Is'ra-ell 
away  unto  As-syr'i-a,  and  placed  them  in  Ha'lah,  andi 
in  Ha'bor,  on  the  river  of  Go'zan,  and  in  the  cities  of 

7  the  Medes.  And  it  was  so,  because  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  had  sinned  against  the  Lord  their  God,  which 
brought  them  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  from 
under  the  hand  of  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  and  had 

8  feared  other  gods,  and  walked  in  the  statutes  of  the 
nations,  whom  the  Lord  cast  out  from  before  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  which 

9  they  'made.  And  tlie  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  secretly 
things  that  were  not  right  against  the  Lord  their 
God,  and  they  built  them  high  places  in  all  their 
cities,  from  the  tower  of  the  watchmen  to  the  fenced 

10  city.  And  they  set  them  up  'pillars  and  Ash'er-im 
upon  every  high  hill,  and  under  every  green  tree:

11  And  there  they  burnt  incense  in  all  the  high  places,  as 
did  the  heathen  whom  the  Lord  carried  away  before  them ; 
and  wrought  wicked  things  to  provoke  the  Lord  to  anger : 

12  For  they  served  idols,  "'whereof  the  Lord  had  said 
unto  them,  "Ye  shall  not  do  this  thing. 

13  Yet  the  Lord  testified  against  Is'ra-el,  and  against 
Ju'dah,  fby  all  the  prophets,  and  by  all  "the  seers,  saying, 
"Turn  ye  from  your  evil  ways,  and  keep  my  command- 
ments and  my  statutes,  according  to  all  the  law  which  I 
commanded  your  fathers,  and  which  I  sent  to  you  by  my 
servants  the  prophets. 

14  Notwithstanding,  they  would  not  hear,  but  'hardened 
their  necks,  like  to  the  neck  of  their  fathers,  that  did  not 
believe  in  the  Lord  their  God. 

15  And  they  rejected  his  statutes,  ""and  his  covenant  that 
he  made  with  their  fathers,  and  his  testimonies  which  he 
testified  against  them;  and  they  followed  'vanity,  and  'be- 
came vain,  and  went  after  the  heathen  that  were  round 
about  them,  concerning  whom  the  Lord  had  charged  them, 
that  they  should  "not  do  like  them. 

16  And  they  left  all  the  commandments  of  the  Lord  their 
God,  and  ''made  them  molten  images,  even  two  calves,  "and 
made  a  grove,  and  worshipped  all  the  host  of  heaven,  'and 
served  Ba'al. 

17  "And  they  caused  their  sons  and  their  daughters  to 
pass  through  the  fire,  and  'used  divination  and  enchant- 
ments, and  "sold  themselves  to  do  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

18  Therefore  the  Lord  was  very  angry  with  Is'ra-el,  and 
removed  them  out  of  his  sight:  there  was  none  left  ''but 
the  tribe  of  Ju'dah  only. 

19  Also  'Ju'dah  kept  not  the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  but  walked  in  the  statutes  of  Is'ra-el  which  they 
made. 

20  And  the  Lord  rejected  all  the  seed  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
afflicted  them,  and  •'^delivered  them  into  the  hand  of  spoil- 
ers, until  he  had  cast  them  out  of  his  sight. 

21  For  "he  rent  Is'ra-el  from  the  house  of  Da'vid;  and 
they  made  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat  king :  and  Jer-o- 

bo'am  drave  Is'ra-el  from  following  the  Lord,  and  made 
them  sin  a  great  sin. 

22  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  walked  in  all  the  sins  of 
Jer-o-bo'am  which  he  did;  they  departed  not  from  them; 

23  Until  the  Lord  removed  Is'ra-el  out  of  his  sight,  'as 
he  had  said  by  all  his  servants  the  prophets.  *So  was 
Is'ra-el  carried  away  out  of  their  own  land  to  As-syr'i-a 
unto  this  day. 

24  ^'And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  brought  men  ""from 
Bab'y-lon,  and  from  Cu'thah,  and  from  "A'va,  and  from 
Ha'math,  and  from  Seph'ar-va'im,  and  placed  them  in  the 
cities  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  instead  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and 
they  possessed  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof. 

25  And  so  it  was  at  the  beginning  of  their  dwelling  there, 
that  they  feared  not  the  Lord:  therefore  the  Lord  sent 
lions  among  them,  which  slew  some  of  them. 

^  26  Wherefore  they  spake  to  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  say- 
ing, The  nations  which  thou  hast  removed,  and  placed 
in  the  cities  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  know  not  the  manner  of  the 
God  of  the  land :  therefore  he  hath  sent  lions  among  them, 
and,  behold,  they  slay  them,  because  they  know  not  the 
manner  of  the  God  of  the  land. 

27  Then  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  commanded,  saying.  Carry 
thither  one  of  the  priests  whom  ye  brought  from  thence ; 
and  let  them  go  and  dwell  there,  and  let  him  teach  them 
the  manner  of  the  God  of  the  land. 

28  Then  one  of  the  priests  whom  they  had  carried  away 
from  Sa-ma'ri-a  came  and  dwelt  in  Beth'-el,  and  taught 
them  how  they  should  fear  the  Lord. 

29  Howbeit  every  nation  made  gods  of  their  own,  and 


Hand  there  they  burnt  incense  in  all  the  high  places, 
as  did  the  nations  whom  the  Lord  carried  away 
before  them ;  and  wrought  wicked  things  to  provoke 

12  the  Lord  to  anger :  and  they  served  idols,  whereof  the 
Lord  had  said  unto  them.  Ye  shall  not  do  this  thing, 

13  Yet  the  Lord  testified  unto  Is'ra-el,  and  unto  Ju'- 
dah, by  the  hand  of  every  prophet,  and  of  every  seer, 
saying,  Turn  ye  from  your  evil  ways,  and  keep  my 
commandments  and  my  statutes,  according  to  all  the 
law  which  I  commanded  your  fathers,  and  which  I 
sent  to  you  by  the  hand  of  my  servants  the  prophets. 

14  Notwithstanding,  they  would  not  hear,  but  hardened 
their  neck,  like  to  the  neck  of  their  fathers,  who  be 

15  lieved  not  in  the  Lord  their  God.  And  they  rejected 
his  statutes,  and  his  covenant  that  he  made  with 
their  fathers,  and  his  testimonies  which  he  testified 
unto  them ;  and  they  followed  vanity,  and  became 
vain,  and  went  after  the  nations  that  were  round 
about  them,  concerning  whom  the  Lord  had  charged 

16  them  that  they  should  not  do  like  them.  And 
they  forsook  all  the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  made  them  molten  images,  even 
two  calves,  and  made  an  Ash'er-ah,  and  worshipped 

17  all  the    host   of  heaven,  and    served    Ba'al.     And 
they    caused    their    sons    and    their   daughters    to 
pass  through  the  fire,  and  used  divination  and  en 
chantments,  and  sold  themselves  to  do  that   which 
was    evil  in  the    sight  of  the    Lord,   to    provoke 

18  him  to  anger.  Therefore  the  Lord  was  very  angry 
with  Is'ra-el,  and  removed  them  out  of  his  sight : 
there  was  none  left  but  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah    only, 

19  Also  Ju'dah  kept  not  the  commandments  of  the 
Lord  their  God,  out  walked  in  the  statutes  of  Is'ra-el 

20  which  they  'made.  And  the  Lord  rejected  all  the 
seed  of  Is'ra-el,  and  afflicted  them,  and  delivered 
them  into  the  hand  of  spoilers,  until  he  had  cast 

21  them  out  of  his  sight.  For  he  rent  Is'ra-el  from 
the  house  of  Da'vid  ;  and  they  made  Jer-o-bo'am  the 
son  of  Ne'bat  king :  and  Jer-o-bo'am  ^drave  Is'ra-el 
from  following  the  Lord,  and  made  them  sin  a  great 

22  sin.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  walked  in  all  the  sins 
of  Jer-o-bo'am    which   he  did;  they    departed  not 

23  from  them ;  until  the  Lord  removed  Is'ra-el  out  of 
his  sight,  as  he  spake  by  the  hand  of  all  his  servants 
the  prophets.  So  Is'ra-el  was  carried  away  out  of 
their  own  land  to  As-syr'i-a,  unto  this  day, 

24  And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  brought  men  from 
Bab'y-lon,  and  from  Cu'thah,  and  from  Av'va,  and 
from  Ha'math  and  Seph'ar-va'im,  and  placed  them  in 
the  cities  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  instead  of  the  children  of  Is'- 
ra-el :  and  they  possessed  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  dwelt  in  the 

25  cities  thereof.  And  so  it  was,  at  the  beginning  of 
their  dwelling  there,  that  they  feared  not  the  Lord  : 
therefore  the  Lord  sent  lions  among  them,  which 

26  killed  some  of  them.  Wherefore  they  spake  to  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a,  saying.  The  nations  which  thou 
hast  carried  away,  and  placed  in  the  cities  of  Sa-ma'- 
ri-a, know  not  the  manner  of  the  God  of  the  land : 
therefore  he  hath  sent  lions  among  them,  and,  be- 
hold, they  slay  them,  because  they    know    not  the 

27  manner  of  the  God  of  the  land.  Then  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a  commanded,  saying.  Carry  thither  one  of 
the  priests  whom  ye  brought  from  thence ;  and  let 
them  go  and  dwell  there,  and  let  him  teach  them 

28  the  manner  of  the  God  of  the  land.  So  one 
of  the  priests  whom  they  had  carried  away  from 
Sa-ma'ri-a  came  and  dwelt  in  Beth'-el,  and  taught 
them    how    they    should    fear    the    Lord.     How- 

29  belt    every    nation    made   gods    of    their  own,  and

put  them  in  the  houses  of  the  high  places  which  the  Sa-mar'i- 
tans  had  made,  every  nation  in  their  cities  wherein  they  dwelt. 

30  And  the  men  of  °Bab'y-lon  made  Suc-coth-be'noth,  and 
the  men  of  Cuth  made  Ner'gal,  and  the  men  of  Ha'math 
made  Ash'i-ma, 

31  "And  the  A'vites  made  Nib'haz  and  Tar'tak,  and  the 
Se'phar-vites  'burnt  their  children  in  fire  to  A-dram'me-lech 
and  A-nam'me-lech,  the  gods  of  Seph'ar-va'im. 

32  So  they  feared  the  Lord,  'and  made  unto  themselves 
of  the  lowest  of  them  priests  of  the  high  places,  which 
sacrificed  for  them  in  the  houses  of  the  high  places. 

33  'They  feared  the  Lord,  and  served  their  own  gods,  after 
the  raanner  of  the  nations  |{  whom  they  carried  away  from 
thence. 

34  Unto  this  day  they  do  after  the  former  manners :  they 
fear  not  the  Lord,  neither  do  they  after  their  statutes,  or 
after  their  ordinances,  or  after  the  law  and  commandment 
which  the  Lord  commanded  the  children  of  Ja'cob,  'whom 
he  named  Is'ra-el ; 

35  With  whom  the  Lord  had  made  a  covenant,  and  charged 
them,  saying,  "Ye  shall  not  fear  other  gods,  nor  "'bow  your- 
selves to  them,  nor  serve  them,  nor  sacrifice  to  them :

of  E'gypt  with  great  power  and  "a  stretched  out  arm,  ''him

do  sacrifice.

former  manner. 

41  'So  these  nations  feared  the  Lord,  and  served  their 
graven  images,  both  their  children,  and  their  children's 
children :  as  did  their  fathers,  so  do  they  unto  this  day. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Hezekiah's  good  reign— He  destroyeth  idolatry  and  prospereih. 

"VTOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  third  year  of  Ho-she'a  son 
i-i  of  E'lah  king  of  Is'ra-el,  thai  'Hez-e-ki'ah  the  son  of 
A'haz  king  of  Ju'dah  began  to  reign. 

2  Twenty  and  five  years  old  was  he  when  he  began  to 
reign-,  and  he  reigned  twenty  and  nine  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
His  mother's  namealso  wa«''A'bi,the  daughter  of  Zach-a-ri'ah. 

3  And  he  did  ilioi  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Da'vid  his  &ther  did. 

4  ^'He  removed  the  high  places,  and  brake  the  fimages, 
and  cut  down  the  groves,  and  brake  in  pieces  the  ''brazen 
serpent  that  Mo'ses  had  made:  for  unto  those  days  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  did  burn  incense  to  it :  and  he  called  it 
II  Ne-hush'tan. 

5  He  'trusted  in  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el;  ■'so  that  after 
him  was  none  like  him  among  all  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  nor 
any  that  were  before  him. 

6  For  he  "clave  to  the  Lord,  and  departed  not  ffrom 
following  him,  but  kept  his  commandments,  which  the  Lord 
commanded  Mo'ses. 

7  And  the  Lord  ''was  with  him;  and  he  'prospered 
whithersoever  he  went  forth :  and  he  *rebelled  against  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  served  him  not. 

8  'He  smote  the  Phi-lis'tines,  even  unto  fGa'za,  and  the 
borders  thereof,  "'from  the  tower  of  the  watchmen  to  the 
fenced  city. 

9  ^  And  "it  came  to  pass  in  the  fourth  year  of  king  Hez-e- 
ki'ah,  which  was  the  seventh  year  of  Ho-she'a  son  of  E'lah 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  Shal-ma-ne'ser  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came 
up  against  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  besieged  it. 


put  them  in  the  houses  of  the  high  places  which  the 
Sa-mar'i-tans  had  made,  every  nation  in  their  cities 

30  wherein  they  dwelt.  And  the  men  of  Bab'y-lon  made 
Suc-coth-be'noth,  and  the  men  of  Cuth  made  Ner'gal, 

31  and  the  men  of  Ha'math  made  Ash'i-ma,  and  the  Av'- 
vites  made  Nib'haz  and  Tar'tak,  and  the  Se'phar-vites 
burnt  their  children  in  the  fire  to  A-dram'me-lech  and 

32  A-nam'me-lech,  the  'gods  of  Seph'ar-va'im.  So  they 
feared  the  Lord,  and  made  unto  them  from  among 
themselves  priests  of  the  high  places,  which  sacrificed 

33  for  them  in  the  houses  of  the  high  places.  They 
feared  the  Lord,  and  served  their  own  gods,  after  the 
manner  of  the  nations  from  among  whom  they  had 

34  been  carried  away.  Unto  this  day  they  do  after  the 
former  manners :  they  fear  not  the  Lord,  neither  do 
they  after  their  statutes,  or  after  their  ordinances,  or 
after  the  law  or  after  the  commandment  which  the 
Lord  commanded  the  children  of  Ja'cob,  whom  he 

35  named  Is'ra-el ;  with  whom  the  Lord  had  made  a 
covenant,  and  charged  them,  saying,  Ye  shall  not 
fear  other  gods,  nor  bow  yourselves  to  them,  nor 

36  serve  them,  nor  sacrifice  to  them :  but  the  Lord, 
who  brought  you  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  with 
great  power  and  with  a  stretched  out  arm,  him  shall 
ye  fear,  and  unto  him  shall  ye  bow  yourselves,  and 

37 to  him  shall  ye  sacrifice:  and  the  statutes  and  the 
ordinances,  and  the  law  and  the  commandment, 
which  he  wrote  for  you,  ye  shall  observe  to  do  for 

38  evermore ;  and  ye  shall  not  fear  other  gods :  and 
the  covenant  that  I  have   made  with  you  ye  shall 

39 not  forget;  neither  shall  ye  fear  other  gods:  but 
the  Lord  your  God  shall  ye  fear;  and  he  shall 
deliver  you  out  of  the  hand  of  all  your  enemies. 

40  Howbeit  they  did  not  hearken,  but  they  did  after 

41  their  former  manner.  So  these  nations  feared  the 
Lord,  and  served  their  graven  images ;  their  chil- 
dren likewise,  and  their  children's  children,  as  did 
their  fathers,  so  do  they  unto  this  day. 

iO  Now  it  came  to  pass  in  the  third  year  of  Ho-she'a 
son  of  E'lah  king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  son 

2  of  A'haz  king  of  Ju'dah  began  to  reign.  ^Twenty 
and  five  years  old  was  he  when  he  began  to  reign ; 
and  he  reigned  twenty  and  nine  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem : 
and  his  mother's   name  was  A'bi  the  daughter  of 

3  Zech-a-ri'ah.  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord,  according  to  all  that  Da'vid  his 

4  father  had  done.  He  removed  the  high  places,  and 
brake  the  pillars,  and  cut  down  the  Ash'er-ah :  and 
he  brake  in  pieces  the  brasen  ser|)ent  that  Mo'ses 
had  made ;  for  unto  those  days  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  did  burn  incense  to  it ;  and  "he  called  it 

5*Ne-hush'tan.  He  trusted  in  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el ;  so  that  after  him  was  none  like  him  among 
all  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  nor  among  them  that  were 

6  before  him.  For  he  clave  to  the  Lord,  he  departed 
not    from    following  him,    but  kept   his  command- 

7ment6,  which  the  Lord  commanded  Mo'ses.  And 
the  Lord  was  with  him ;  whithersoever  he  went 
forth  he    prospered :    and  he    rebelled    against  the 

8  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  .served  him  not.  He  smote 
the  Phi-lis'tines  unto  Ga'za  and  the  borders  thereof, 
from  the  tower  of  the  watchmen  to  the  fenced 
city. 

9  And  it  came  to  pa.ss  in  the  fourth  year  of  king 
Hez-e-ki'ah,  which  was  the  seventh  year  of  Ho-she'a 
son  of  E'lah  king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  Shal-ma-ne'ser  king 
of  As-syr'i-a  came  up  against  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  besieged  it.

10  And  at  the  end  of  three  years  they  took  it:  even  in  the 
sixth  year  of  Hez'e-ki'ah,  that  is,  "the  ninth  year  of  Ho-she'a 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  Sa-ma'ri-a  was  taken. 

11  ''And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  did  carry  away  Is'ra-el  unto 
As-syr'i-a,  and  put  them  'in  Ha'lah  and  in  Ha'bor  by  the  river 
of  Go'zan,  and  in  the  cities  of  the  Medcs : 

12  ''Because  they  obeyed  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord  their 
God,  but  transgressed  his  covenant,  and  all  that  Mo'ses  the 
servant  of  the  Lokd  commanded,  and  would  not  hear  them, 
nor  do  them. 

13  ^Now  'in  the  fourteenth  year  of  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  did 
fSen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  come  up  against  all  the 
fenced  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  took  them. 

14  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  sent  to  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a  to  La'chish,  saying,  I  have  oifended ;  return  from  me : 
that  Avhich  thou  puttest  on  me  I  will  bear.  And  the  king 
of  As-syr'i-a  appointed  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  three 
hundred  talents  of  silver  and  thirty  talents  of  gold. 

15  And  Hez-e-ki'ah 'gave  him  all  the  silver  that  was  found 
in  the  house  of  the  LoBD,  and  in  the  treasures  of  the  king's 
house. 

16  At  that  time  did  Hez-e-ki'ah  cut  off  the  gold  from  the 
doors  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  and  from  the  pillars  which 
Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  had  overlaid,  and  gave  fit  to  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

17  ^And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  sent  Tar' tan  and  Rab'sa-ris 
and  Rab'-sha-keh  from  La'chish  to  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  with  a 
tgreat  host  against  Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  they  went  up,  and  came 
to  Je-r'u'sa-lem.  And  when  they  were  come  up,  they  came  and 
stood  by  the  conduit  of  the  upper  pool,  "which  is  in  the 
highway  of  the  fuller's  field. 

18  And  when  they  had  called  to  the  king,  there  came  out 
to  them  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  which  was  over  the 
household,  and  Sheb'na  the  || scribe,  and  Jo'ah  the  son  of 
A'saph  the  recorder. 

19  And  Rab'-sha-keh  said  unto  them,  Speak  ye  now  to 
Hez-e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the  great  king,  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a, 
^What  confidence  is  this  wherein  thou  trustest? 

20  Thou  1 1  say  est,  (but  they  are  but  fvain  words,)  \\I  have 
counsel  and  strength  for  the  war.  Now  on  whom  dost  thou 
trust,  that  thou  rebellest  against  me? 

21  "Now,  behold,  thou  ftrustest  upon  the  staff  of  this 
bruised  reed,  even  upon  E'gypt,  on  which  if  a  man  lean,  it 
will  go  into  his  hand,  and  pierce  it :  so  w  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt  unto  all  that  trust  on  him. 

22  But  if  ye  say  unto  me.  We  trust  in  the  Lord  our  God : 
is  not  that  he  'vvhose  high  places  and  whose  altars  Hez-e-ki'ah 
hath  taken  away,  and  hath  .said  to  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Ye 
shall  worship  before  this  altar  in  Je-ru'sa-lem? 

23  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  give  ||  pledges  to  my  lord 
the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  I  will  deliver  thee  two  thousand 
horses,  if  thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to  set  riders  upon  them. 

24  How  then  wilt  thou  turn  away  the  face  of  one  captain 
of  the  least  of  my  master's  servants,  and  put  thy  trust  on 
E'gypt  for  chariots  and  for  horsemen? 

25  Am  I  now  come  up  without  the  Lord  against  this  place 
to  destroy  it?  The  Lord  said  to  me.  Go  up  against  this 
land,  and  v^estroy  it. 

26  Then  Si.id  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  and  Sheb'na, 
and  Jo'ah,  unto  Rab'-sha-keh,  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  to  thy  serv- 
ants in  the  Syr'i-an  language ;  for  we  understand  it;  and  talk 
not  with  us  in  the  Jews'  language  in  the  ears  of  the  people 
that  are  on  the  wall. 

27  But  Rab'-sha-keh  said  unto  them.  Hath  my  master 
.sent  me  to  thy  master,  and  to  thee,  to  speak  these  words? 
hath  he  not  sent  me  to  the  men  which  sit  on  the  wall,  that 
they  may  eat  their  own  dung,  and  drink  ftheir  own  piss 


with 


you  i 


28  Then  Rab'-sha-keh  stood  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice 


10 And  at  the  end  of  three  years  they  took  it:  even 
in  the  sixth  year  of  Hez-e-ki'ah,  which  was  the  ninth 
year  of  Ho-she'a  king  of  Is'ra-el,  Sa-ma'ri-a  was  taken. 

11  And  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  carried  Is'ra-el  away  unto 
As-syr'i-a,  and  put  them  in  Ha'lah,  and  in  Ha'bor,  on 
the  river  of  Go'zan,  and  in  the  cities  of  the  Medes: 

12becau.se  they  obeyed  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  but  transgressed  his  covenant,  even  all 
that  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  commanded, 
and  would  not  hear  it,  nor  do  it. 

13  'Now  in  the  fourteenth  year  of  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  did 
^Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  come  up  against  all 

14  the  fenced  cities  of  Ju'dah  and  took  them.  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  sent  to  the  kingof  As-syr'i-a 
to  La'chish,  saying,  I  have  offended;  return  from 
me :  that  which  thou  puttest  on  me  will  1  bear. 
And  theking  of  As-syr'i-a  appointed  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah  three  hundred  talents  of  silver  and 

15  thirty  talents  of  gold.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  gave  him  all 
the  silver  that  was  found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

16  and  in  the  tieasures  of  the  king's  house.  At  that 
time  did  Hez-e-ki'ah  cut  off  the  gold  from  the  doors  of 
the  temple  of  the  Lord,  and  from  the  'pillars  which 
Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  had  overlaid,  and  gave  it  to 

17  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  And  the  kingof  As-syr'i-a  .sent 
*Tar'tanand^Rab'-sa-risand^Rab'sha-keh  from  La'chish 
to  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  with  agreat  army  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  they  went  up  and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
when  they  were  come  up,  they  came  and  stood  by 
the  conduit  of  the  upper  pool,  which  is  in  the  high 

18  way  of  the  fuller's  field.  And  when  they  had  called 
to  the  king,  there  came  out  to  them  E-li'a-kim  the  son 
of  Hil-ki'ah,  which  was  over  the  household,  and  Sheb'- 
nah  the  ''scribe,  and  Jo'ah  the  son  of  A'saph  the  *re- 

19  corder.  And  Rab'sha-keh  said  unto  them.  Say  ye  now 
to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the  great  king,  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  What  confidence  is  this  wherein  thou  trust- 

20 est?  Thou  sayest,  but  they  are  but  'vain  words. 
There  is  counsel  and  strength  for  the  war.  Now  on 
whom  do.st  thou  trust,  that  thou  hast  rebelled  against 

21  me?  Now,  behold,  thou  trustest  upon  the  staff  of 
this  bruised  reed,  even  upon  E'gypt ;  whereon  if  a 
man  lean,  it  will  go  into  his  hand,  and  pierce  it :  so 
is  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  unto  all  that  trust  on  him 

22  But  if  ye  say  unto  me.  We  trust  in  the  Lord  our 
God:  is  not  that  he,  whose  high  places  and  whose 
altars  Hez-e-ki'ah  hath  taken  away,  and  hath  said  to' 
Ju'dah  and  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Ye  shall  worship  before 

23  this  altar  in  Je-ru'salem?  Now  therefore,  I  pray 
thee,  *give  pledges  to  my  master  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a,  and  I  will  give  thee  two  thousand  horses,  if 
thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to  set  riders  upon  them. 

24  How  then  canst  thou  turn  away  the  face  of  one  cap- 
tain of  the  least  of  my  master's     rvants,  and  put  thy 

25trust  on  E'gypt  for  chariots  and  for  horsemen  ?  Am 
I  now  come  up  without  the  Lord  against  this  place 
to  destroy   it?    The  Lord  said  unto  me.   Go   up 

26  against  this  land,  and  destroy  it.  Then  said  E-li'- 
a-kim the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  and  Sheb'nah,  and  Jo'ah, 
unto  Rab'sha-keh,  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  to  thy  servants 
in  the  'Syr'i-an  language ;  for  we  understand  it :  and 
speak  not  with  us  in  the  Jews'  language,  in  the  ears  of 

27  the  people  that  are  on  the  wall.  But  Rab'sha-keh  said 
unto  them.  Hath  my  master  sent  me  to  thy  master, 
and  to  thee,  to  speak  these  words?  hath  he  not  sent 
me  to  the  men  which  sit  on  the  wall,  to  eat  their 
own  dung,  and  to  drink  their  own  water  with  you? 

28  Then  Rab'sha-keh  stood  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice

in  the  Jews'  language,  and  spake,  saying.  Hear  the  word  of 
the  great  king,  the  king  of  As-sy'ri-a  : 

29  Thus  saith  the  king,  "Let  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  deceive  you  : 
for  he  shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you  out  of  his  hand : 

30  Neither  let  Hez-e-ki'ah  make  you  trust  in  the  Lobd,  say- 
ing, The  Lord  will  surely  deliver  us,  and  this  city  shall  not 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

31  Hearken  not  to  Hez-e-ki'ah :  for  thus  saith  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  ||  fMake  an  agreement  with  me  by  a  present,  and 
come  out  to  me,  and  then  eat  ye  every  man  of  his  own  vine, 
and  every  one  of  his  fig  tree,  and  drink  ye  every  one  the 
waters  of  his  ||  cistern  : 

32  Until  I  come  and  take  you  away  to  a  land  like  your 
own  land,  ''a  land  of  corn  and  wine,  a  land  of  bread  and 
vineyards,  a  land  of  oil  olive  and  of  honey,  that  ye  may 
live,  and  not  die :  and  hearken  not  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah,  when 
he  lipersuadeth  you,  saying,  The  Loed  will  deliver  us. 

33  "Hath  any  of  the  gods  of  the  nations  delivered  at  all 
his  land  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a? 

34  ''Where  are  the  gods  of  Ha'math,  ^nd  of  Ar'pad?  where 
are  the  gods  of  Seph'ar-va'im,  He'na,  .nd  'I'vah  ?  have  they 
delivered  Sa-ma'ri-a  out  of  mine  hand  ? 

35  Who  are  they  among  all  the  gods  of  the  countries 
that  have  delivered  their  country  out  of  mine  hand, 
^that  the  Lord  should  deliver  Je-ru'sa-lem  out  of  mine 
hand? 

36  But  the  people  held  their  peace,  and  answered  him  not 
a  word :  for  the  king's  commandment  was,  saying.  Answer 
him  not. 

37  Then  came  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah, which  was  over 
the  household,  and  Sheb'na  the  scribe,  and  Jo'ah  the  son  of 
A'saph  the  recorder,  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  "with  their  clothes  rent, 
and  told  him  the  words  of  Rab'-sha-keh. 

CHAFTER  XIX. 

Hezekiah  mournings  sendeth  to  Isaiah  to  pray  /or  them. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass,  when  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  heard  it,  that 
he  rent  his  clothes,  and  covered  himself  with  sackcloth, 
and  went  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

2  And  he  sent  E-li'a-kim,  which  was  over  the  household, 
an  J  Sheb'na  the  scribe,  and  the  elders  of  the  priests,  covered 
with  sackcloth,  to  ""I-sa'iab  the  prophet  the  son  of  A'moz. 

3  And  they  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  Hez-e-ki'ah,  This  day 
is  a  day  of  trouble,  and  of  rebuke,  and  ||  blasphemy :  for  the 
children  are  come  to  the  birth,  and  there  is  not  strength  to 
bring  forth. 

4  "It  may  be  the  Lord  thy  God  will  hear  all  the  words  of 
Rab'-8ha-keh,''whom  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  his  master  hath  sent 
to  reproach  the  living  God;  and  will  'reprove  the  words 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  heard :  wherefore  lift  up  thy 
prayer  for  the  remnant  that  are  fleft. 

5  So  the  servants  of  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  came  to  I-sa'iah. 

6  ^-^And  I-sa'iah  said  unto  them.  Thus  shall  ye  say  to  your 
master,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be  not  afraid  of  the  words 
which  thou  hast  heard,  with  which  the  'servants  of  the  king 
of  As-syr'i-a  have  blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  I  will  send  '"a  blast  upon  him,  and  he  shall  hear 
a  rumour,  and  shall  return  to  his  own  land ;  and  I  will  cause 
him  to  fall  by  the  sword  in  his  own  land. 

8  ^So  Rab'-sha-keh  returned,  and  found  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a  warring  against  Lib'nah :  for  he  had  heard  that  he 
was  departed  'from  La'chish. 

9  And  *when  he  heard  say  of  Tir'ha-kah  king  of  E-thi-o'pi-a, 
Behold,  he  is  come  out  to  fight  against  thee ;  he  sent  mes- 
sengers again  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah,  saying, 

10  Thus  shall  ye  speak  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  say- 
ing, Let  not  thy  God  'in  whom  thou  trustest  deceive  thee, 
saying,  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  not  be  delivered  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

11  Behold,  thou  hast  heard  what  the  kings   of  As-syr'i-a 


in  the  Jews'  language,  and  spake,  saying,  Hear  ye 
the  word  of  the  great  king,  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

29  Thus  saith  the  king.  Let  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  deceive  you ; 
for  he  shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you  out  of  his 

30  hand :  neither  let  Hez-e-ki'ah  make  you  trust  in  the 
Lord,  saying.  The  Lord  will  surely  deliver  us,  and 
this  city  shall  not  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the  king 

31  of  As-syr'i-a.  Hearken  not  to  Hez-e-ki'ah :  for  thus 
saith  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  'Make  your  peace  with 
me,  and  come  out  to  me;  and  eat  ye  every  one  of 
his  vine,  and  every  one  of  his  fig  tree,  and  drink  ye 

32  every  one  the  waters  of  his  own  cistern ;  until  I 
come  and  take  you  away  to  a  land  like  your  own 
land,  a  land  of  corn  and  wine,  a  land  of  bi-ead  and 
vineyards,  a  land  of  oil  olive  and  of  honey,  that  ye 
may  live,  and  not  die :  and  hearken  not  unto  Hez-e- 
ki'ah,  when  he  persuadeth  you,  saying.  The  Lord  will 

33  deliver  us.  Hath  any  of  the  gods  of  the  nations 
ever  delivered  his  land  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king 

34  of  As-syr'i-a  ?  Where  are  the  gods  of  Ha'math,  ano 
of  Ar'pad  ?  where  are  the  gods  of  Seph'ar-va'im,  of 
He'na,  and  Iv'vah  ?  have  they  delivered  Sa-ma'ri-a  out 

35  of  my  hand?  Who  are  they  among  all  the  gods  of 
the  countries,  that  have  delivered  their  country  out 
of  my  hand,  that  the  Lord  should  deliver  Je-ru'sa-lem 

36 out  of  my  hand?  But  the  people  held  their  peace, 
and  answered  him  not  a  word:  for  the  king's  com- 

37mandment  was,  saying.  Answer  him  not.  Then 
came  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  which  was 
over  the  household,  and  Sheb'na  the  scribe,  and 
Jo'ah  the  son  of  A'saph  the  recorder,  to  Hez-e-ki'ah 
with  their  clothes  rent,  and  told  him  the  words 
of  Rab'sha-keh. 

+v  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  heard 
it,  that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  covered  himself  with 
sackcloth,  and  went  into  the  house  of  the    Lord. 

2  And  he  sent  E-li'a-kim,  which  was  over  the  house- 
hold, and  Sheb'na  the  scribe,  and  the  elders  of  the 
priests,  covered  with  sackcloth,    unto    I-sa'iah   the 

3  prophet  the  son  of  A'moz.  And  they  said  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  Hez-e-ki'ah,  This  day  is  a  day  of  trouble, 
and  of  rebuke,  and  of  contumely :  for  the  children 
are  come  to  the  birth,  and  there    is    not   strength 

4  to  bring  forth.  It  may  be  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
hear  all  the  words  of  Rab'sha-keh,  %hom  the  king 
of  As-syr'i-a  his  master  hath  sent  to  reproach  the  liv- 
ing God,  and  will  rebuke  the  words  wnich  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  heard:  wherefore  lift  up  thy   prayer 

5  for  the  remnant  that  is  left.     So  the  servants  of  king 
G  Hez-e-ki'ah  came  to  I-sa'iah.     And  I-sa'iah  said  unto 

them.  Thus  shall  ye  say  to  your  master.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Be  not  afraid  of  the  words  that  thou  hast 
heard,  wherewith  the  servants  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a 

7  have  blasphemed  me.  Behold,  I  will  put  a  spirit  in 
him,  and  he  shall  hear  a  rumour,  and  shall  return  to 
his  own  land;  and  I  will  cause  him  to  fell  by  the 
sword  in  his  own  land. 

8  So  Rab'sha-keh  returned,  and  found  the  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a  warring  against  Lib'nah :  for  he  had  heard  that 

9  he  was  departed  from  La'chish.  And  when  he  heard 
say  of  Tir'ha-kah  king  of  E-thi-o'pi-a,Behold,he  is  come 
out  to  fight  against  thee :  he  sent  messengers  again 

10  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah, saying.  Thus  shall  ye  speak  toHez-e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  saving,  Let  not  thy  God  in  whom 
thou  trustest  deceive  thee,  saying,  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall 
not  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  A.s-syr'i-a. 

11  Behold,  thou  hast  heard  what  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a

have  done  to  all  lands,  by  destroying  them  utterly :    and 
shalt  thou  be  delivered  ? 

12  ""Have  the  gods  of  the  nations  delivered  them  which 
my  fathers  have  destroyed ;  as  Go'zan,  and  Ha' ran,  and 
Re'zeph,  and  the  children  of  "E'den  which  were  in  The-la'ssar? 

13  "Where  is  the  king  of  Ha'math,  and  the  king  of  Ar'- 
pad,  and  the  king  of  the  city  of  Seph'ar-va'im,  of  He'na,  and 
I'vah? 

14  TI^And  Hez-e-ki'ah  received  the  letter  cf  the  hand  of  the 
messengers,  and  read  it :  and  Hez-e-ki'ah  went  up  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  spread  it  before  the  Lord, 

15  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  prayed  before  the  Lord,  and  said,  O 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  "which  dwellest  between  the  cherubim, 
'thou  art  the  God,  even  thou  alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  earth;  thou  hast  made  heaven  and  earth. 

16  Lord, 'bow  down  thine  ear,  and  hear:  'open.  Lord, 
thine  eyes,  and  see :  and  hear  the  words  of  Sen-nach'e-rib, 
"which  hath  sent  him  to  reproach  the  living  God. 

17  Of  a  truth.  Lord,  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a  have  destroyed 
the  nations  and  their  lands, 

18  And  have  feast  their  gods  into  the  fire :  for  they  were 
no  gods,  but  ''the  work  of  men's  hands,  wood  and  stone: 
therefore  they  have  destroyed  them. 

19  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  our  God,  I  beseech  thee,  save 
thou  us  out  of  his  hand,  ''that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth 
may  know  that  thou  art  the  Lord  God,  even  thou  only. 

20  ^Then  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz  sent  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  'That  which  thou 
^^st  prayed  to  me  against  Scn-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a 

I  have  heard. 

21  This  is  the  word  that  the  Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
him  ;  Tho  virgin  Hho  daughter  of  Zi'on  hath  despised  thee, 
and  laughed  thee  to  scorn ;  the  daughter  of  Je-ru'salem  "hath 
shaken  her  head  at  thee. 

22  '^y-ora  hast  thou  reproached  and  blasphemed?  and 
against  whom  hast  thou  exa.lted  thy  voice,  and  lifted  up  thine 
eyes  on  high  ?  even  against  the  ''Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

23  t*By  thy  messengers  thou  hast  reproached  the  Lord, 
and  hast  said, -^With  the  multitude  of  my  chariots  I  am 
come  up  to  the  height  of  the  mountains,  to  the  sides 
of  Leb'a-non,  and  will  cut  down  fthe  tall  cedar  trees 
thereof,  and  the  choice  fir  trees  thereof:  and  I  will  enter 
into  the  lodgings  of  his  borders,  and  into  ||the  forest  of  his 
Car'mel. 

24  I  have  digged  and  drunk  strange  waters,  and  with  the 
sole  of  my  feet  have  I  dried  up  all  the  rivers  of  1|  besieged 
places. 

25  II  Hast  thou  not  heard  long  ago  how  "I  have  done  it, 
and  of  ancient  times  that  I  have  formed  it?  now  have  I 
brought  it  to  pass,  that  ''thou  shouldest  be  to  lay  waste 
fenced  cities  into  ruinous  heaps. 

26  Therefore  their  inhabitants  were  fof  small  power,  they 
were  dismayed  and  confounded;  they  were  as  the  grass  of 
the  field,  and  as  the  green  herb,  as  'the  grass  on  the  house- 
tops, and  as  corn  blasted  before  it  be  grown  up. 

27  But  *I  know  thy  ||  abode,  and  thy  going  out,  and  thy 
coming  in,  and  thy  rage  against  me. 

28  Because  thy  rage  against  me  and  thy  tumult  is  come 
up  into  mine  ears,  therefore  'I  will  put  my  hook  in  thy  nose, 
and  my  bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I  will  turn  thee  back  "by  the 
way  by  which  thou  earnest. 

29  And  this  shall  be  "a  sign  unto  thee.  Ye  shall  eat  this 
year  such  things  as  grow  of  themselves,  and  in  the  second 
year  that  which  springeth  of  the  same ;  and  in  the  third 
year  sow  ye,  and  reap,  and  plant  vineyards,  and  eat  the

have   done   to   all    lands,  by  'destroying  them  ut- 

12  terly  :  and  shalt  thou  be  delivered  ?  Have  the  gods 
of  the  nations  delivered  them,  which  my  fathers 
have  destroyed,  Go'zan,  and  Ha'ran,  and  Re'zeph, 
and  the  children  of  E'den  which  were  in  Te-las'sar? 

13  Where  is  the  king  of  Ha'math,  and  the  king  of 
Ar'pad,  and  the  king  of  the  city  of  Seph'ar-va'im, 

14  of  He'na,  and  Iv'vah  ?  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  received  the 
letter  from  the  hand  of  the  messengers,  and  read 
it:  and  Hez-e-ki'ah  went  up  unto  the  house  of  the 

15  Lord,  and  spread  it  before  the  Lord.  And  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  prayed  before  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  that  ^sittest  upon  the  cherubim,  thou 
art  the  God,  even  thou  alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of 

IC  the  earth ;  thou  hast  made  heaven  and  earth.  In- 
cline thine  ear,  O  Lord,  and  hear;  open  thine  eye.s, 
O  Lord,  and  see :  and  hear  the  words  of  Sen-nach'e- 
rib,  wherewith  he  hath  sent   him   to   reproach   the 

1 7  living  God.    Of  a  truth,  Lord,  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a 

18  have  laid  waste  the  nations  and  their  lands,  and  have 
cast  their  gods  into  the  fire :  for  they  were  no  gods, 
but  the   work   of  men's   hands,  wood    and   stone; 

19  therefore  they  have  destroyed  them.  Now  there- 
fore, O  Lord  our  God,  save  thou  us,  I  beseech  thee, 
out  of  his  hand,  that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth 
may  know  'that  thou  art  the  Lord  God,  even  thou 
only. 

20  Then  I-sa'iah  the  son  A'moz  sent  to  Hez-e-ki'ah, 
saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
Whereas  thou  hast  prayed  to  me  against  Sen-nach'- 

21  e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  I  have  heard  thee.  This  is 
the  word  that  the  Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 
him:  The  virgin  daughter  of  Zi'on  hath  despised 
■thee  and  laughed  thee  to   scorn;    the  daughter  of 

22  Je-ru'sa-lem  hath  shaken  her  head  *at  thee.  Whom 
hast  thou  reproached  and  blasphemed?  and  against 
whom  hast  thou  exalted  thy  voice  and  lifted  up 
thine  eyes  on  high?  even  against  the  Holy  One  of 

23  Is'ra-el.  By  thy  messengers  itiou  hast  reproached 
the  Lord,  and  hast  said.  With  the  'multitude  of  my 
chariots  am  I  come  up  tu  the  height  of  the  mount- 
ains, to  the  innermost  parts  of  Leb'a-non;  and  I  will 
cut  down  the  tall  cedars  thereof,  and  the  choice  *fir 
trees  thereof:  and  I  will  enter  into  his  farthest  lodg- 

24  ing  place,  the  forest  of  his  fruitful  field.  I  have 
digged  and  drunk  strange  waters,  and  with  the  sole 
of  my  feet  will  I  dry  up  all  the  rivers  of  'E'gypt. 

25  Hast  thou  not  heard  how  I  have  done  it  long  ago, 
and  formed  it  of  ancient  times?  now  have  I  brought 
it  to  pass,  that  thou  shouldest  be  to  lay  waste  fenced 

26  cities  into  ruinous  heaps.  Therefore  their  inhabit- 
ants were  of  small  power,  they  were  dismayed  and 
confounded ;  they  were  as  the  grass  of  the  field,  and 
as  the  green  herb,  as  the  grass  on  the  housetops,  and 

27  as  corn  blasted  before  it  be  grown  up.  But  I  know 
thy  sitting  down,  and  thy  going  out,  and  thy  coming 

28  in,  and  thy  raging  against  me.  Because  of  thy 
raging  against  me,  and  for  that  *thine  arrogancy  is 
come  up  into  mine  ears,  therefore  will  I  put  my 
hook  in  thy  nose,  and  my  bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I 
will  turn  thee  back  by  the  way  by  which  thou  cam- 

29  est.  And  this  shall  be  the  sign  unto  thee :  ye  shall 
eat  this  year  that  which  groweth  of  itself,  and  in 
the  second  year  that  which  springeth  of  the  same; 
and  in  the  third  year  sow  ye,  and  reap,  and  plant 

30  vineyards,  and  eat  the  fruit  thereof.  And  ^the  rem- 
nant that  is  escaped  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah  shall 
again  take  root  downward,  and  bear  fruit  upward.

31  For  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  go  forth  a  remnant,  and 
fthey  that  escape  out  of  mount  Zi'on :  ''the  zeal  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts  shall  do  this. 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Loed  concerning  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  He  shall  not  come  into  this  city,  nor  shoot  an 
arrow  there,  nor  come  before  it  with  shield,  nor  cast  a 
bank  against  it. 

33  By  the  way  that  he  came,  by  the  same  shall  he  return, 
and  shall  not  come  into  this  ^^ity,  saith  the  LoED. 

34  For  »I  will  defend  this  city,  to  save  it,  for  mine  own 
sake,  and  ""for  my  servant  Da'vid's  sake. 

35  %  And  'it  came  to  pass  that  night,  that  the  angel  of  the 
Loed  went  out,  and  smote  in  the  camp  of  the  As-syr'i-ans 
a  hundred  fourscoure  and  five  thousand  :  and  when  they  arose 
early  in  the  morning,  behold,  they  were  all  dead  corp.ses. 

36  So  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  departed,  and  went 
and  returned,  and  dwelt  at  'Nin'e-veh. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  worshipping  in  the 
house  of  Nis'roch  his  god,  that  "A-dram'me-lech  and 
Sha-re'zer  his  sons  "smote  him  Avith  the  sword:  and  they 
escaped  into  the  land  of  fAr-me'ni-a.  And  'E-sar-had'don 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  XX. 

Hezekiak^  by  prayer^  hath  his  life  lengthened — Manasseh  succeedeik  him. 

IN  "those  days  was  Hez-e-ki'ah  sick  unto  death.  And  the 
prophet  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz  came  to  him,  and  said 
unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  fSet  thine  house  in  order; 
for  thou  shalt  die,  and  not  live. 

2  Then  he  turned  his  face  to  the  wall,  and  prayed  unto 
the  Loed,  saying, 

3  I  beseech  thee,  O  Loed,  'remember  now  how  I  have 
''walked  before  thee  in  truth  and  with  a  perfect  heart,  and 
have  done  that  which  is  good  in  thy  sight.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah 
wept  fsore. 

4  Aud  it  came  to  pass,  afore  I-sa'iah  was  gone  out  into  the 
middle  ||  court,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  him,  saying, 

5  Turn  again,  and  tell  Hez-e-ki'ah  ''the  captain  of  my 
people.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Da'vid  thy  father, 
'I  have  heard  thy  prayer,  I  have  seen  -'^thy  tears:  behold, 
I  will  heal  thee:  on  the  third  day  thou  shalt  go  up  unto 
the  house  of  the  Loed. 

6  And  I  will  add  unto  thy  days  fifteen  years ;  and  I  will 
deliver  thee  and  this  city  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a;  and  "I  will  defend  this  city  for  mine  own  sake, 
and  for  my  servant  Da'vid's  sake. 

7  And  ''I-sa'iah  said.  Take  a  lump  of  figs.  And  they  took 
and  laid  it  on  the  boil,  and  he  recovered. 

8  ^And  Hez-e-ki'ah  said  unto  I-sa'iah,  'What  shall  be  the 
sign  that  the  Lord  will  heal  me,  and  that  I  shall  go  up 
into  the  house  of  the  Loed  the  third  day. 

9  And  I-sa'iah  said,  *This  sign  shalt  thou  have  of  the  Lord, 
that  the  Loed  will  do  the  thing  that  he  hath  spoken :  shall 
the  shadow  go  forward  ten  degrees,  or  go  back  ten  degrees? 

10  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  answered.  It  is  a  light  thing  for  the 
shadow  to  go  down  ten  degrees:  nay,  but  let  the  shadow 
return  backward  ten  degrees. 

11  And  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  cried  unto  the  Lord:  and  'he 
brought  the  shadow  ten  degrees  backward,  by  which  it  had 
gone  down  in  the  fdial  of  A'haz. 

12  ^"At  that  time  ||Be-ro'dach-bal'a-dan,  the  son  of  Bal'- 
a-dan,  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  sent  letters  and  apresent  unto  Hez- 
e-ki'ah:  for  he  had  heard  that  Hez-e-ki'ah  had  been  sick. 

13  And  "Hez-e-ki'ah  hearkened  unto  them,  and  shewed 
them  all  the  house  of  his  ||  precious  things,  the  silver,  and 
the  gold,  and  the  spices,  and  the  precious  ointment,  and  all 
the  house  of  his  Ufarmour,  and  all  that  was  found  in  his 
treasures :  there  was  nothing  in  his  house,  nor  in  all  his 
dominion,  that  Hez-e-ki'ah  shewed  them  not. 

14  ^Theu  came  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  unto  king  Hez-e-ki'ah, 


31  For  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  go  forth  a  remnant,  and 
out  of  mount  Zi'on  they  that  shall  escape:  the  zeal 

32  of  'the  Lord  shall  perform  this.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  concerning  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a, 
He  shall  not  come  unto  this  city,  nor  shoot  an  arrow 
there,  neither  shall  he  come  before  it  with  shield,  nor 

33  cast  a  mount  against  it.  By  the  way  that  he  came, 
by  the  same  shall  he  return,  and  he  shall  not  come 

34  unto  this  city,  saith  the  Lord.    For  I  will  defend  this 
city  to  .save  it,  for  mine  own  sake,  and  for  my  serv 
ant  Da'vid's  sake. 

35  ^And  it  came  to  pass  that  night,  that  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  went  forth,  and  smote  in  the  camp  of  the 
As-syr'i-ans  an  hundred  fourscore  and  five  thousand: 
and  when  men  arose  early  in  the  morning,  behold, 

36  they  were  all  dead  corpses.  So  Sen-nach'e-rib  king 
of  As-.syr'i-a  departed,  and  went  and  returned,  and 

37  dwelt  at  Nin'e-veh.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
worshipping  in  the  house  of  Nis'roch  his  god,  that 
'A-dram'me-lech  and  Sha-re'zer  smote  him  with  the 
sword :  and  they  escaped  into  the  land  of  Ar'a-rat, 
And  E-sar-had'don  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

'^v  <In  those  days  was  Hez-e-ki'ah  sick  unto  death. 
And  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  the  son  of  A'moz  came  to 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Set 
thine  house   in  order;  for  thou  shalt  die,  and  not 

2  live.      Then  he  turned  his  face  to   the  wall,  and 

3  prayed  unto  the  Lord,  saying.  Remember  now,  O 
Lord,  I  beseech  thee,  how  I  have  walked  before 
thee  in  truth  and  with  a  perfect  heart,  and  have  done 
that  which  is  good  in  thy  sight.     And  Hez-e-ki'ah 

4  wept  sore.  And  it  came  to  pass,  afore  I-sa'iah  was 
gone  'out  into  *the  middle  part  of  the  city,  that  the 

5  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  him,  saying.  Turn  again, 
and  say  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  'prince  of  my  people.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Da'vid  thy  father,  I  have 
heard  thy  prayer,  I  have  seen  thy  tears:  behold, 
will  heal  tnee :   on  the  third  day  thou  shalt  go  up 

6  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  I  will  add  unto 
thy  days  fifteen  years;  and  I  will  deliver  thee  and 
this  city  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a ; 
audi  will  defend  this  city  for  mine  own  sake,  and  for 

7  my  servant  Da'vid's  sake.  And  I-sa'iah  said.  Take 
a  cake  of  figs.     And  they  took  and  laid  it  on  the  boil, 

8  and  he  recovered.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  said  unto  I-sa'iah, 
What  shall  be  the  sign  that  the  Lord  will  heal  me^ 
and  that  I  shall  go  up  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord 

9  the  third  day  ?  And  I-sa'iah  said.  This  shall  be  the 
sign  unto  thee  from  the  Lord,  that  the  LoED  will  do 
the  thing  that  he  hath  spoken :  "shall  the  shadow  go 

10  forward  ten  "steps,  or  go  back  ten  steps?  And  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  answered.  It  is  a  light  thing  for  the  shadow  to 
decline  ten  steps :  nay,  but  let  the  shadow    return 

11  backward  ten  steps.  And  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  cried 
unto  the  Loed:  and  he  brought  the  shadow  ten 
steps  backward,  by  which  it  had  gone  down  on  the 
'"dial  of  A'haz. 

12  "At  that  time  "Be-ro'dach-bal'a-dan  the  son  of 
Bal'a-dan,  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  sent  letters  and  a  pres- 
ent unto  Hez-e-ki'ah :  for  he  had  heard  that  Hez- 

13e-ki'ah  had  been  sick.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  hearkened 
unto  them,  and  shewed  them  all  the  house  of  his 
"precious  things,  the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the 
spices,  and  the  precious  oil,  and  "the  house  of  his 
'■^armour,  and  all  that  was  found  in  his  treasures: 
there  was  nothing  in  his  house,  nor  in  all  his  domin- 

14  ion,  that  Hez-e-ki'ah  shewed  them  not.  Then 
came  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  unto  king  Hez-e-ki'ah,

and  said  unto  him,  What  said  these  men  ?  and  from  whence 
came  they  unto  thee  ?  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  said,  They  are  come 
from  a  far  country,  eveti  from  Bab'y-lon. 

15  And  he  said,  What  have  they  seen  in  thine  house? 
And  Hez-e-ki'ah  answered,  "All  the  things  that  are  in  mine 
house  have  they  seen  :  there  is  nothing  among  my  treasures 
that  I  have  not  shewed  them. 

16  And  I-sa'iah  said  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah,  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord. 

17  Behold,  the  days  come,  that  all  that  is  in  thine  house,  and 
that  which  thy  fathers  have  laid  up  in  store  unto  this  day,  "shall 
be  carried  into  Bab'y-lon :  nothing  shall  be  hft,saith  the  Lord. 

18  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall  issue  from  thee,  which  thou 
shalt  beget,  'shall  they  take  away ;  1 1  and  they  shall  be  eunuchs 
in  the  palace  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon. 

19  Then  said  Hez-e-ki'ah  unto  I-sa'iah,  ""Good  is  the  word 
of  the  Lord  which  thou  hast  spoken.  And  he  said,  \\Is  it 
not  good,  if  peace  and  truth  be  in  my  days. 

20  ^'And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  fiez-e-ki'ah,  and  all  his 
might,  and  how  he  'made  a  pool,  and  a  conduit,  and  "brought 
water  into  the  city,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 

21  And  ^Hez-e-ki'ah  slept  with  his  fathers :  and  Ma-nas'- 
seh  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER    XXI. 

Alanasseh's  reign — His  great  idolatry. 

MA-NAS'SEH  "was  twelve  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  reigned  fifty  and  five  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  his  mother's  name  was  Heph'zi-bah. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
'after  the  abominations  of  the  heathen,  whom  the  Lord  cast 
out  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

3  For  he  built  up  again  the  high  places  'which  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  his  father  had  destroyed ;  and  he  reared  up  altars  for 
Ba'al,  and  made  a  grove,  ''as  did  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el ;  and 
'worshipped  all  the  host  of  heaven,  and  served  them. 

*±  Aiiu  •-  ne  Duilt  altars  in  tne  house  of  the  Lord,  of  which 
the  Lord  said,  'In  Je-ru'sa-lem  will  I  put  my  name. 

5  And  he  built  altars  for  all  the  host  of  heaven  in  the  two 
courts  of  the  house  of  the  LoKD, 

6  *And  he  made  his  son  pass  through  the  fire,  and  observed 
'times  and  used  enchantments,  and  dealt  with  familiar 
spirits  and  wizards :  he  wrought  much  wickedness  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

7  And  he  set  a  graven  image  of  the  grove  that  he  had 
made  in  the  house,  of  which  the  Lord  said  to  Da'vid,  and  to 
Sol'o-mon  his  son,  *In  this  house,  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  I 
have  chosen  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  will  I  put  my 
name  for  ever: 

8  'Neither  will  I  make  the  feet  of  Is'ra-el  move  any  more 
out  of  the  land  which  I  gave  tneir  fathers;  only  if  they  will 
observe  to  do  according  to  all  that  I  have  commanded  them, 
and  according  to  all  the  law  that  my  servant  Mo'ses  com- 
manded them. 

9  But  they  hearkened  not :  and  Ma-nas'seh  "seduced  them 
tc  do  more  evil  than  did  the  nations  whom  the  Lord 
de.scroyed  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

10  "^Andthe  Lord  spake  by  his  servants  the  prophets.saying, 

11  "Because  Ma-nas'seh  king  of  Ju'dah  hath  done  these 
abominations,  "and  hath  done  wickedly  above  all  that  the 
Am'o-rites  did,  which  xvere  before  him,  and  "hath  made 
Ju'dah  also  to  sin  with  his  idols : 

12  Therefore  thus  said  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Behold, 
I  am  bringing  such  evil  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  that 
whosoever  heareth  of  it,  both  "his  ears  shall  tingle. 

13  And  I  will  stretch  over  Je-ru'sa-lem  ""the  line  of  Sa- 
ma'ri-a,  and  the  plummet  of  the  house  of  A'hab  :  and  I  will 
wipe  Je-ru'sa-lem  as  a  man  wipeth  a  dish,  fwiping  it,  and 
turning  it  upside  down. 


and  said  unto  him.  What  said  these  men  ?  and  from 
whence  came  they  unto  thee?  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  said. 
They  are  come  from  a  far  country,  even  from  Bab'y 

15  Ion.  And  he  said,  What  have  they  seen  in  thine 
house  ?  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  answered.  All  that  is  in  mine 
house  have  they  seen  :  there  is  nothing  among  my 

16  treasures  tnat  I  have  not  shewed  them.  And  I-sa'iah 
said  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord 

17  Behold,  the  days  come,  that  all  that  is  in  thine  house, 
and  that  whiju  thy  fathers  have  laid  up  in  stora  unto 
this  day,  shall  be  carried  to  Bab'y-lon  :  nothing  shall 

18  be  left,  saith  the  Lord.  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall 
issue  from  thee,  which  thou  shalt  beget^  shall  they 
take  away  ;  and  th«y  shall  be  eunuchs  in  the  palace 

19  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon.  Then  said  Hez-e-ki'ah  unto 
I-sa'iah,  Good  is  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  thou 
hast   spoken.     He    said  moreover.  Is  it   not   so,  if 

20 peace  and  truth  shall  be  in  my  days?  Now  the  rest 
of  the  acts  of  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  all  his  might,  and  how 
he  made  the  pool,  and  the  conduit,  and  brought 
water  into  the  city,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book 

21  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ?  'And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  slept  with  his  fathers :  and  Ma-nas'seh  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

'^-t  ^Ma-nas'seh  was  twelve  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign  ;  and  he  reigned  five  and  fifty  years  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem:   and  his   mother's  name  was   Heph'zi-bah 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  after  the  abominations  of  the  heathen,  whom 
the  Lord  cast  out  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

3  For  he  built  again  the  high  places  which  Hez-e-ki'ah 
his  father  had  destroyed;  and  he  reared  up  altars 
for  Ba'al,  and  made  an  Ash'er-ah,  as  did  A'hab  king 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  worshipped  all  the  host  of  heaven, 

4 and  served  them.  And  he  built  altars  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  whereof  the  Lord  said,  In  Je-ru'sa-lem 

5  will  I  put  my  name.  And  he  built  altars  for 
all  the   host  of  heaven   in  the  two   courts  of  the 

Chouse  of  the  Lord.  And  he  made  his  son  to  pass 
through  the  fire,  and  practised  augury,  and  used 
enchantments,  and  'dealt  with  them  that  had  familiar 
spirits,  and  with  wizards:  he  wrought  much  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

7  And  he  set  the  graven  image  of  Ash'er-ah,  that  he 
had  made,  in  the  house  of  which  the  Lord  said 
to  Da'vid  and  to  Sol'o-mon  his  son.  In  this  house, 
and  in  Je-ru'salem,  which  I  have  chosen  out  of  all 
the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  will  I  put  my  name  for  ever: 

8  neither  will  I  cause  the  feet  of  Is'ra-el  to  wander  any 
more  out  of  the  land  which  I  gave  their  fathers ;  if 
only  they  will  observe  to  do  according  to  all  that  I 
have   commanded    them,  and  according  to  all   the 

9  law  that  my  servant  Mo'ses  cpmmanded  them.  But 
they  hearkened  not :  and  Ma-nas'seh  seduced  them 
to  do  that  which  is  evil  more  than  did  the  nations, 
whom  the  Lord  destroyed  before  the  children  of 

10  Is'ra-el.     And  the  Lord  spake  by  his  servants  the 

11  prophets,  saying.  Because  Ma-nas'seh  king  of  Ju'dah 
hath  done  these  abominations,  and  hath  done  wick- 
edly above  all  that  the  Am'o-rites  did,  which  were 
before  him,  and  hath  made  Ju'dah  also  to  sin  with 

12 his  idols:  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I  bring  such  evil  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem 
and  Ju'dah,  that  whosoever  heareth  of  it,  both  his 

13  ears  shall  tingle.  And  I  will  stretch  over  Je-ru'sa-lem 
the  line  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  the  plummet  of  the  house 
of  A'hab :  and  I  will  wipe  Je-ru'sa-lem  as  a  man 
wipeth  a  dish,  wiping  it  and  turning  it  upside  down.

and  deliver  them  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies ;  and  they 
shall  become  a  prey  and  a  spoil  to  all  their  enemies ; 

15  Because  they  have  done  that  lohichwas  evil  in  my  sight, 
and  have  provoked  me  to  anger,  since  the  day  their  fathers 
came  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  even  unto  this  day. 

16  'Moreover  Ma-nas'seh  shed  innocent  blood  very  much, 
till  he  had  filled  Je-ru'sa-lem  ffrom  one  end  to  another ;  be- 
sides his  sin  wherewith  he  made  Ju'dah  to  sin,  in  doing  that 
xohich  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord. 

17  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Ma-na.s'seh,  and  all  that 
he  did,  and  his  sin  that  he  sinned,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 

18  And  "Ma-nas'seh  slept  with  kis  fathers,  and  was  buried 
in  the  garden  of  his  own  house,  in  the  garden  of  Uz'za :  and 
A'mon  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

19  ^-^ A'mon  was  twenty  and  two  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  two  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
his  mother's  name  was  Me-shul'le-meth,  the  daughter  of 
Ha'ruz  of  Jot'bah. 

20  And  he  did  that  ichich  icas  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
LoBD,  "as  his  father  Ma-na.s'seh  did. 

21  And  he  walked  in  all  the  way  that  his  father  walked  in, 
and  served  the  idols  that  his  father  served,  and  worshipped 
them : 

22  And  he  ^forsook  the  Lord  God  of  his  fathers,  and 
walked  not  in  the  way  of  the  Lord. 

23  ^"And  the  servants  of  A'mon  conspired  against  him, 
and  slew  the  king  in  his  own  house. 

24  And  the  people  of  the  land  slew  all  them  that  had  con- 
spired against  king  A'mon:  and  the  people  of  the  land

CHAPTER  XXII. 

Jostah*s  good  reign — Hilkiah  Jindeth  the  book  of  the  law. 

JO-SI'AH  "xoas  eight  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  thirty  and  one  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  his  mother's  name  was  Jed'i-dah  the  daughter  of 
Ad-a-i'ah  of  ''Bos'cath. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  walked  in  all  the  way  of  Da'vid  his  father,  and 
turned  not  aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left. 

3  ^""And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eighteenth  year  of  king 
Jo-si'ah,  that  the  king  sent  Sha'phan  the  son  of  Az-a-li'ah,  the 
son  of  Me-shul'lam,  the  scribe,to  the  house  of  theLoRD,.saying, 

4  Go  up  to  Hil-ki'ah  the  high  priest,  that  he  may  sum  the 
silver  which  is  'brought  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  which 
■'the  keepers  of  the  fdoor  have  gathered  of  the  people : 

5  And  let  them  "deliver  it  into  the  hand  of  the  doers  of 
the  work,  that  have  the  oversight  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  : 
and  let  them  give  it  to  the  doers  of  the  work,  which  is  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  to  repair  the  breaches  of  the  house, 

6  Unto  carpenters,  and  builders,  and  masons,  and  to  buy 
timber  and  hewn  stone  to  repair  the  house. 

7  Howbeit,  '■there  was  no  reckoning  made  with  them  of 
the  money  that  was  delivered  into  their  hand,  because  they 
dealt  faithfully. 

8  ^And  Hil-ki'ah  the  high  priest  said  unto  Sha'phan  the 
scribe,  'T  have  found  the  book  of  the  law  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord.  And  Hil-ki'ah  gave  the  book  to  Sha'phan,  and 
he  read  it. 

9  And  Sha'phan  the  scribe  came  to  the  king,  and  brought 
the  king  word  again,  and  said.  Thy  servants  have  fgathered 
the  money  that  was  found  in  the  house,  and  have  delivered 
it  into  the  hand  of  them  that  do  the  work,  that  have  the 
oversight  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 


14  And  I  will  cast  off  the  remnant  of  mine  inheritance, 
and  deliver  them  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies; 
and  they  shall  become  a  prey  and  a  spoil  to  all  their 

15 enemies;  because  they  have  done  that  which  is  evil 
in  my  sight,  and  have  provoked  me  to  anger,  since 
the  day  their  fathers  came  forth  out  of  E'gypt,  even 

16  unto  this  day.  Moreover  Ma-na.s'seh  shed  innocent 
blood  very  much,  till  he  had  filled  Je-ru'sa-lem  from 
one  end  to  another;  beside  his  sin  wherewith  he 
made  Ju'dah  to  sin,  in  doing  that  which  was  evil  in 

17  the  sight  of  the  Lord.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Ma-nas'seh,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  his  sin  that  he 
sinned,  are    they    not   written  in  the    book  of  the 

18  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ?  'And  Ma-nas'seh 
slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the  garden 
of  his  own  house,  in  the  garden  of  Uz'za :  and  A'mon 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

19  A'mon  was  twenty  and  two  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign  ;  and  he  reigned  two  years  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem: and  his  mother's  name  was  Me-shul'le-meth 

20  the  daughter  of  Ha'ruz  of  Jot'bah.  And  he  did  that 
which   was    evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  as  did 

21  Ma-nas'seh  his  father.  And  he  walked  in  all  the  way 
that  his  father  walked  in,  and  served  the  idols  that 

22  his  father  served,  and  worshipped  them :  and  he 
forsook    the    Lord,  the    God    of   his    fathers,    and 

23  walked  not  in  the  way  of  the  Lord.  And  the  serv- 
ants of  A'mon   conspired  against  him,  and  put  the 

24  king  to  death  in  his  own  house.  But  the  people  of 
the  land  slew  all  them  that  had  conspired  against 
king  A'mon;  and  the  people  of  the  land  made  Jo- 

25  si'ahhis  son  king  in  his  stead.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts 
of  A'mon  which  he  did,  are  they  not  written  in  the 

26  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah?  And 
he  was  buried  in  his  sepulchre  in  the  garden  of 
Uz'za :  and  Jo-si'ah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

MM  2 Jo-si'ah  was  eight  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign ;  and  he  reigned  thirty  and  one  years  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem :    and  his  mother's  name   was  Jed'i-dah  the 

2  daughter  of  Ad-a-i'ah  of  Boz'kath.  And  he  did  that 
which  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and  walked 
in  all  the  way  of  Da'vid  his  father,  and  turned  not 
aside  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left. 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eighteenth  year  of 
king  Jo'si-ah,  that  the  king  sent  Sha'phan  the  son  of 
Az-a-li'ah,  the  son  of  Me-shul'lam,  the  scribe,  to  the 

4  house  of  the  Lord,  saying.  Go  up  to  Hil-ki'ah  the 
high  priest,  that  he  may  sum  the  money  which  is 
brought  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  which  the 
keepers  of  the  ^door  have  gathered  of  the   people : 

5  and  let  them  deliver  it  into  the  hand  of  the  work- 
men that  have  the  oversight  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  :  and  let  them  give  it  to  the  workmen  which 
are  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  to  repair  the  breaches 

6  of  the  house ;  unto  the  carpenters,  and  to  the  build- 
ers, and  to  the  masons ;  and  for  buying  timber  and 

7  hewn  stone  to  repair  the  house.  Howbeit  there  was 
no  reckoning  made  with  them  of  the  money  that 
was  delivered  into  their  hand;  for  they  dealt  faith- 

8  fully.  And  Hil-ki'ah  the  high  priest  said  unto 
Sha'phan  the  scribe,  I  have  found  the  book  of  the 
law  in  the  house  of  the  Lord.     And  Hil-ki'ah  deliv- 

9ered  the  book  to  Sha'phan,  and  he  read  it.  And 
Sha'phan  the  scribe  came  to  the  king,  and  brought 
the  ting  word  again,  and  said.  Thy  servants  have 
^emptied  out  the  money  that  was  found  in  the  hou.se, 
and  have  delivered  it  into  the  hand  of  the  workmen 
that  have  the  oversight  of  the  house  of  the  Lord.

10  And  Sha'phan  the  scribe  shewed  the  king,  saying,  Hil- 
ki'ah  the  priest  hath  delivered  me  a  book.  And  Sha'phan 
read  it  before  the  king. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king  had  heard  the 
words  of  the  book  of  the  law,  that  he  rent  his  clothes. 

12  And  the  king  commanded  Hilki'ah  the  prie.st,  and 
A-hi'kam   the    son  of  Sha'phan,  and  'Ach'bor  the  son  of 

Mi-cha'iah,  and  Sha'phan  the  scribe,  and  A-sa-hi'ah  a  serv- 
ant of  the  king's,  saying, 

13  Go  ye,  inquire  of  the  Lord  for  me,  and  for  the  people, 
and  for  all  Ju'dah,  concerning  the  words  of  this  book  that 
is  found :  for  great  is  'the  wrath  of  the  Lord  that  is  kindled 
against  us,  because  our  fathers  have  not  hearkened  unto  the 
words  of  this  book,  to  do  according  unto  all  that  which  is 
written  concerning  us. 

14  So  Hil-ki'ah  the  priest,  and  A-hi'kam,  and  Ach'bor,and 
Sha'phan,  and  A-sa-hi'ah,  went  unto  Hul'dah  the  prophetess, 
the  wife  of  Shal'lum  the  sonof  ""Tik'vah,  the  son  of  ||Har'- 
has,  keeper  of  the  fwardrobe ;  (ijow  she  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem 
II in  the  college;)  and  they  communed  with  her. 

15  ^And  she  said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  Tell  the  man  that  sent  you  to  me, 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  "I  will  bring  evil  upon 
this  place,  and  upon  the  inhabitants  thereof,  even  all  the 
words  of  the  book  which  the  king  of  Ju'dah  hath  read : 

17  "Because  they  have  forsaken  me,  and  have  burned  in- 
cense unto  other  gods,  that  they  might  provoke  me  to 
anger  with  all  the  works  of  their  hands;  therefore  my 
wrath  shall  be  kindled  against  this  place,  and  shall  not  be 
quenched. 

18  But  to  "the  king  of  Ju'dah  which  sent  you  to  inquire 
of  the  Lord,  thus  shall  ye  say  to  him.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  As  touching  the  words  which  thou 
hast  heard  ; 

19  Because  thine  'heart  was  tender,  and  thou  hast  ''hum- 
bled thyself  before  the  Lord,  when  thou  heardest  what  I 
spake  against  this  place,  and  against  the  inhabitants  thereof, 
that  they  should  become  'a  desolation  and  'a  curse,  and  hast 
rent  thy  clothes,  and  wept  before  me ;  I  also  have  heard 
thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

20  Behold  therefore,  I  will  gather  thee  unto  thy  fathers, 
and  thou  "shalt  be  gathered  into  thy  grave  in  peace ;  and 
thine  eyes  shall  not  see  all  the  evil  which  I  will  bring  upon 
this  place.     And  they  brought  the  king  word  again. 

CHAPTER   XXIII. 

Josiah  causeth  the  book  to  be  read  in  a  solemn  assembly. 

AND  "the  king  sent,  and  they  gathered  unto  him  all  the 
elders  of  Ju'dah  and  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  And  the  king  went  up  into  the  hou.se  of  the  Lord,  and 
£,il  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and  all  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
with  him,  and  the  priests,  and  the  prophets,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple, fboth  small  and  great:  and  he  read  in  their  ears  all 
the  words  of  the  book  of  the  covenant  'which  was  found  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

3  ^Aud  the  king  'stood  by  a  pillar,  and  made  a  covenant 
before  the  Lord,  to  walk  after  the  Lord,  and  to  keep  his 
commandments  and  his  testimonies  and  his  statutes  with 
all  their  heart  and  all  their  soul,  to  perform  the  words  of 
this  covenant  that  were  written  in  this  book.  And  all  the 
people  stood  to  the  covenant. 

4  And  the  king  commanded  Hil-ki'ah  the  high  priest,  and 
the  priests  of  the  second  order,  and  the  keepers  of  the  door, 
to  bring  forth  out  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord  all  the  vessels 
that  were  made  for  Ba'al,  and  for  ''the  grove,  and  for  all  the 
host  of  heaven :  and  he  burned  them  without  Je-ru'sa-lem 
in  the  fields  of  Kid'ron,  and  carried  the  ashes  of  them  unto 
Beth'-el. 

5  And  he  fput  down  fthe  idolatrous  priests,  whom  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah  had  ordained  to  burn  incense  in  the  high 


10  And  Sha'phan  the  scribe  told  the  king,  saying, 
Hil-ki'ah  the  priest  hath  delivered  me  a  book.    And 

11  Sha'phan  read  it  before  the  king.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  when  the    king   had  heard  the  words  of  the 

12  book  of  the  law,  that  he  rent  his  clothes.  And  the 
king  commanded  Hil-ki'ah  the  priest,  and  A-hi'kam 
the  son  of  Sha'phan,  and  Ach'bor  the  son  of  Mi-ca'iah, 
and  Sha'phan  the  scribe,  and  A-sa-i'ah  the  king's 

13  servant,  saying,  Go  ye,  inquire  of  the  Lord  for  me, 
and  for  the  people,  and  for  all  Ju'dah,  concerning  the 
words  of  this  book  that  is  found :  for  great  is  the 
wrath  of  the  Lord  that  is  kindled  against  us,  be- 
cause our  fathers  have  not  hearkened  unto  the  words 
of  this  book,  to  do  according  unto  all  that  which  is 

14 'written  concerning  us.  So  Hil-ki'ah  the  priest,  and 
A-hi'kam,  and  Ach'bor,  and  Sha'phan,  and  A-.sa-i'ah, 
went  unto  Hul'dah  the  prophetess,  the  wife  of  Shal'- 
lum the  son  of  Tik'vah,  the  son  of  Har'has,  keeper 
of  the  wardrobe;  (now  she  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  in 
the  ^second  quarter ;)  and  they  communed  with  her. 

16  And  she  said  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el :  Tell  ye  the  man  that  sent  you  unto 

16  me.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil 
upon  this  place,  and  upon  the  inhabitants  thereof, 
even  all  the  words  of  the  book  which  the  king  of 

17  Ju'dah  hath  read :  because  they  have  forsaken  me, 
and  have  burned  incense  unto  other  gods,  that  they 
might  provoke  me  to  anger  with  all  the  work  of 
their  hands;    therefore  my  wrath  shall  be  kindled 

18  against  this  place,  and  it  shall  not  be  quenched.  But 
unto  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  who  sent  you  to  inquire  of 
the  Lord,  thus  .shall  ye  say  to  him.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  As  touching  the  words 

19  which  thou  hast  heard,  because  thine  heart  was 
tender,  and  thou  didst  humble  thy.self  before  the 
Lord,  when  thou  heardest  what  I  spake  against  this 
place,  and  against  the  inhabitants  thereof,  that  they 
should  become  %  desolation  and  a  curse,  and  hast 
rent  thy  clothes,  and  wept  before  me;    I  also  have 

20  heard  thee,  saith  the  Lord.  Therefore,  behold,  I 
will  gather  thee  to  thy  fathers,  and  thou  shalt  be 
gathered  to  thy  grave  in  peace,  neither  shall  thine 
eyes  see  all  the  evil  which  I  will  bring  upon  this 
place.     And  they  brought  the  king  word  again. 

^O    ♦And  the  king  sent,  and  they  gathered  unto  him 

2  all  the  elders  of  Ju'dah  and  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  the 
king  went  up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  all  the 
men  of  Ju'dah  and  all  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lera 
with  him,  and  the  priests,  and  the  prophets,  and  all 
the  people,  both  small  and  great:  and  he  read  in 
their  ears  all  the  words  of  the  book  of  the  covenant 

3  which  was  found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And 
the  king  .stood  ^by  the  pillar,  and  made  a  covenant 
before  the  Lord,  to  walk  after  the  Lord,  and  to 
keep  his  commandments,  and  his  testimonies,  and 
his  statutes,  with  all  his  heart,  and  all  his  soul,  to 
^confirm  the  words  of  this  covenant  that  were 
written   in   this  book :    and   all   the   people   stood 

4  to  the  covenant.  And  the  king  commanded  Hil- 
ki'ah  the  high  priest,  and  the  priests  of  the  second 
order,  and  the  keepers  of  the  "door,  to  bring  forth 
out  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord  all  the  vessels 
that  were  made  for  Ba'al,  and  for  the  Ash'er-ah,  and 
for  all  the  host  of  heaven :  End  he  burned  them 
without  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  the  fields  of  Kid'ron,  and  car- 

5ried  the  ashes  of  them  unto  Beth'-el.  And  he  put

Jkces  in  the  cities  of  Jn'dali,  and  in  the  places  round  about 
e-ru'sa-lem ;  them  also  that  burned  incense  unto  Ba'al,  to  the 
sun,  and  to  the  moon,  and  to  the  ||  planets,  and  to  'all  the 
host  of  heaven. 

6  And  he  brought  out  the  ■'grove  from  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  without  Je-ru*sa-lem,  unto  the  brook  Kid'ron,  and 
burned  it  at  the  brook  Kid'ron,  and  stamped  it  small  to  pow- 
der, and  cast  the  powder  thereof  upon  "the  graves  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  people. 

7  And  he  brake  down  the  houses  *of  the  sodomites  that 
were  by  the  house  of  the  Loed,  *where  the  women  wove 
fhangings  for  the  grove. 

8  And  he  brought  all  the  priests  out  of  the  cities  of  Ju'dah, 
and  defiled  the  high  places  where  the  priests  had  burnt 
incense,  from  *Ge'ba  to  Be'er-she'ba,  and  brake  down  the  high 
places  of  the  gates  that  were  in  the  entering  in  of  the  gate 
of  Josh'u-a  the  governor  of  the  city,  which  were  on  a  man*s 
left  hand  at  the  gate  of  the  city. 

9  ^Nevertheless  the  priests  of  the  high  places  came  not  up 
to  the  altar  of  the  Lord  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ""but  they  did  eat 
of  the  unleavened  bread  among  their  brethren. 

10  And  he  defiled  "To'pheth,  which  is  in  "the  valley  of  the 
children  of  Hin'nom,  "that  no  man  might  make  his  son  or 
his  daughter  to  pass  through  the  fire  to  Mo'lech. 

11  And  he  took  away  the  horses  that  the  kings  of  Ju'dah 
had  given  to  the  sun,  at  the  entering  in  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  by  the  chamber  of  Na'than-me'lech  the  ||  chamberlain, 
which  was  in  the  suburbs,  and  burned  the  chariots  of  the 
sun  with  fire. 

12  And  the  altars  that  were  'on  the  top  of  the  upper  cham- 
ber of  A'haz,  which  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  had  made,  and  the 
altars  which  'Ma-nas'seh  had  made  in  the  two  courts  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  did  the  king  beat  down,  and  ||  brake 
them  down  from  thence,  and  cast  the  dust  of  them  into  the 
brook  Kid'ron. 

13  And  the  high  places  that  were  before  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which 
were  on  the  right  hand  of  [[the  mount  of  corruption,  which 
'Sol'o-mon  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  had  builded  for  Ash'to-reth  the 
abomination  of  the  Zi-do'ni-ans,  and  for  Che'mosh  the  abomi- 
nation of  the  Mo'ab-ites,  and  for  Mil'com  the  abomination 
of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  did  the  king  defile. 

14  And  he  'brake  in  pieces  the  fimages,  and  cut  down 
the  groves,  and  filled  their  places  with  the  bones  of  men. 

15  ^Moreover,  the  altar  that  was  at  Both'-el,  and  the  high 
place  "which  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el 
to  sin,  had  made,  both  that  altar  and  the  high  place  he  brake 
down,  and  burned  the  high  place,  and  stamped  it  small  to 
powder,  and  burned  the  grove. 

16  And  as  Jo-si'ah  turned  himself,  b.c  spied  the  sepul- 
chres that  were  there  in  the  mount,  d  sent,  and  took 
the  bones  out  of  the  sepulchres,  and  burned  tkem  upon 
the  altar,  and  polluted  it,  according  to  the  "word  of  the 
Lord  which  the  man  of  God  proclaimed,  who  proclaimed 
tbese  words. 

17  Then  he  said.  What  title  is  that  that  I  see?  And  the 
men  of  the  city  told  him,  It  is  "the  sepulchre  of  the  man  of 
God,  which  came  from  Ju'dah,  and  proclaimed  these  things 
that  thou  hast  done  against  the  altar  of  Beth'-el. 

18  And  he  said,  Let  him  alone ;  let  no  man  move  his  bones. 
So  they  let  hL"  bones  falone,  with  the  bones  of  'the  prophet 
that  came  out  of  8a-ma'ri-a. 

19  And  all  the  houses  also  of  the  high  places  that  were  "in 
the  cities  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  which  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  had  made 
to  provoke  the  Lord  to  anger,  Jo-si'ah  took  away,  and 
did  to  them  according  to  all  the  acts  that  he  had  done  in 
Beth'-el. 

20  And  'he  Hldew  all  the  priests  of  the  high  places  that  were 


places  in  tne  cities  of  Jn'dah,  and  in  the  places 
round  about  Je-ru'sa-lem;  them  also  that  burned  in- 
cense unto  Ba'al,  to  the  sun,  and  to  the  moon,  and 

6  to  the  'planets,  and  to  all  the  host  of  heaven.  And 
he  brought  out  the  Ash'er-ah  from  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  without  Je-ru'sa-lem,  unto  the  brook 
Kid'ron,  and  burned  it  at  the  brook  Kid'ron,  and 
stamped  it  small  to  powder,  and  cast  the  powder 
thereof  upon  the  graves   of  the   'common   people. 

7  And  he  brake  down  the  houses  of  the  'sodom- 
ites,  that  were   in   the  house  of  the  Lord,  where 

8  the  women  wove  ^hangings  for  tlie  Ash'er-ah.  And 
he  brought  all  the  priests  out  of  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah, and  defiled  the  high  places  where  the  priests 
had  burned  incense,  from  Ge'ba  to  Be'er-she'ba;  and 
he  brake  down  the  high  places  of  the  gates  that 
were  at  the  entering  in  of  tho  gute  of  Josh'u-a  the 
governor  of  the  city,  which  were  on   a  man*s  left 

9  hand  at  the  gate  of  the  city.  Nevertheless  the 
priests  of  the  high  places  came  not  up  to  the  altar 
of  the  Lord  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  but  they  did  eat  unleav- 

lOened  bread  among  their  brethren.  And  he  defiled 
To'pheth,  which  is  in  the  valley  of  the  'children  of 
Hin'nom,  that  no  man  might  make  his  son  or  his 

11  daughter  to  pass  through  the  fire  to  Mo'lech.  And 
he  took  away  the  horses  that  the  kings  of  Ju'dah 
had  given  to  the  sun,  at  the  entering  in  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  by  the  chamber  of  Na'than-me'lech  the 
chamberlain,  which  was  in  the   precincts;   and   he 

12  burned  the  chariots  of  the  sun  with  fire.  And  the 
altars  that  were  on  the  roof  of  the  upper  chamber 
of  A'haz,  which  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  had  made,  and 
the  altars  which  Ma-nas'seh  had  made  in  the  two 
courts  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  did  the  king  break 
down,  and  ^beat  them  down    from  thence,  and  cast 

13  the  dust  of  them  into  the  brook  Kid'ron.  And  the 
high  places  that  were  before  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  were 
on  the  righi  hand  of  the  mount  of  'corruption, 
which  Sol'o-mon  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  had  builded  for 
Ash'to-reth  the  abomination  ii  the  Zi-do'ni-ans,  and 
for  Che'mosh  the  abomination  of  Mo'ab,  and  for 
Mil'com  the  abomination  of  the  children  of  Am'mon, 

14  did  the  king  defile.  And  he  brake  in  pieces  the 
*pillars,  and  cut  down  the  Ash'er-im,  and  filled  their 

15  places  with  the  bones  of  men.  Moreover  the  altar 
that  was  at  Beth'-el,  and  the  high  place  which  Jer-o- 
bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,  who  made  Is'ra-el  to  sin,  had 
made,  even  that  altar  and  the  high  place  he  brake 
down;  and  he  burned  the  high  place  and  stamped 

16  it  small  to  powder,  and  burned  the  Ash'er-ah.  And 
as  Jo-si'ah  turned  himself,  h"'  spied  the  sejjulehres 
that  were  there  in  the  mount;  and  he  sent,  and  took 
the  bones  out  of  the  sepulchres,  and  burned  them 
upon  the  altar,  qnd  defiled  it,  according  to  the  word 
of  the    Lord  which  the  man  of  God  proclaimed, 

17  who  proclaimed  these  things.  Then  he  said.  What 
monument  is  that  which  I  see?  And  the  men  of 
the  city  told  him.  It  is  the  sepulchre  of  the  man  of 
God,  which  came  from  Ju'dah,  and  proclaimed  these 
things   that  thou   hast  done   against  the   altar  of 

18 Beth'-el.  And  he  said,  Let  him  be;  let  no  man 
move  his  bones.  So  they  let  his  bones  alone,  with 
the  bones  of  the  prophet  that  came  out  of  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

19  And  all  the  houses  also  of  the  high  places  that 
were  in  the  cities  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  which  the  kings  of 
Is'ra-el  had  made  to  provoke  the  Lord  to  anger,  Jo- 
si'ah  took  away,  and   did   to  them  according  to  all 

20  the  acts  that  he  had  done  in  Beth'-el,  And  he

and  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

21  ^And  the  king  commanded  all  the  people,  .saying, 
'Keep  the  passover  unto  the  Lord  your  God,  -^as  it  is  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  this  covenant. 

22  Surely  "there  was  not  holden  such  a  passover  from  the 
days  of  the  judges  that  judged  Is'ra-el,  nor  in  all  the  days  of 
the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  nor  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  ; 

23  But  in  the  eighteenth  year  of  king  Jo-si'ah,  wherein  this 
passover  was  holden  to  the  Loed  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

24  ^Moreover  'the  workers  with  familiar  spirits,  and 
the  wizards,  and  the  ||  images,  and  the  idols,  and  ail 
the  abominations  that  were  spied  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah 
and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  did  Jo'si-ah  Nput  away,  that  he  might 
perform  the  words  of  'the  law,  which  were  written  in  the 
book  that  Hil-ki'ah  the  priest  found  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

25  *And  like  unto  him  was  there  no  king  before  him, 
that  turned  to  the  Lord  with  all  his  heart,  and  with 
all  his  soul,  and  with  all  his  might,  according  to  all 
the  law  of  Mo'ses;  neither  after  him  arose  there  any  like 
him. 

26  ^Notwithstanding,  the  Lord  turned  not  from  the  fierce- 
ness of  his  great  wrath,  wherewith  his  anger  was  kindled 
against  Ju'dah,  'because  of  all  the  fpro  vocations  that  Ma- 
nas'seh  had  provoked  him  withal. 

27  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will  remove  Ju'dah  also  out  of 
my  sight,  as  ""I  have  removed  Is'ra-el,  and  will  cast  off  this 
city  Je-ru'sa-lem  which  I  have  chosen,  and  the  house  of  which 
I  said,  "My  name  shall  be  there. 

28  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo-si'ah,  and  all  that  he  did, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah  ? 

29  ^°In  his  days  Pha'raoh-ne'choh  king  of  E'gypt  went  up 
against  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  to  the  river  Eu-phra'tes :  and 
king  Jo-si'ah  went  against  him;  and  he  slew  him  at  "Me- 
gid'do,  when  he  'had  seen  him. 

30  ''And  his  servants  carried  him  in  a  chariot  dead  from 
Me-gid'do,  and  brought  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  buried  him 
in  his  own  sepulchre.  And  'the  people  of  the  land  took 
Je-ho'a-haz  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah,  and  anointed  him,  and  made 
him  king  in  his  father's  stead. 

31  ^  II  Je-ho'a-haz  was  twenty  and  three  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign  ;  and  he  reigned  three  months  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  his  mother's  name  was  'Ha-mu'tal,  the  daughter  of 
Jer-e-mi'ah  of  Lib'nah. 

32  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  according  to  all  that  his  fathers  had  done. 

33  And  Pha'raoh-ne'choh  put  him  in  bands  "at  Rib'lah  in 
the  land  of  Ha'math,  ||that  he  might  not  reign  in  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  ;  and  fput  the  land  to  a  tribute  of  a  hundred  talents  of 
silver,  and  a  talent  of  gold. 

34  And  •'Pha'raoh-ne'choh  made  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Jo- 
si'ah  king  in  the  room  of  Jo-si'ah  his  father,  and  "turned  his 
name  to  'Je-hoi'a-kim,  and  took  Je-ho'a-haz  away :  "and  he 
came  to  E'gypt,  and  died  there. 

35  And  Je-hoi,'a-kim  gave 'the  silver  and  thcgold  toPha'raoh; 
but  he  taxed  the  land  to  give  the  money  according  to  the 
commandment  of  Pha'raoh  :  he  exacted  the  silver  and  the 
gold  of  the  people  of  the  land,  of  every  one  according  to 
his  taxation,  to  give  it  unto  Pha'raoh-ne'choh. 

36  Tf'^Je-hoi'a-kim  was  twenty  and  five  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign;  and  he  reigned  eleven  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
And  his  mother's  name  was  Ze-bu'dah,  the  daughter  of 
Pe-da'iah  of  Ru'mah. 

37  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  according  to  all  that  his  fathers  had  done. 


there,  upon  the  altars,  and  burned  men's  bones  upon 
them ;  and  he  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

21  And  the  king  commanded  all  the  people,  saying, 
Keep  the  passover  unto  the  Lord  your  God,  as  it  is 

22  written  in  this  book  of  the  covenant.  Surely  there 
was  not  kept  such  a  passover  from  the  days  of  the 
judges  that  judged  Is'ra-el,  'nor  in  all  the  days  of  the 

23  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  nor  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah ;  but  in 
the  eighteenth  year  of  king  Jo-si'ah  was  this  passover 

24  kept  to  the  Lord  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Moreover  them 
that  had  familiar  spirits,  and  the  wizards,  and  the 
teraphim,  and  the  idols,  and  all  the  abominations 
that  were  spied  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah  and  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, did  Jo-si'ah  put  away,  that  he  might  ^confirm 
the  words  of  the  law  which  were  written  in  the  book 
that  Hil-ki'ah   the  priest  found  in  the  house  of  the 

25  Lord.  And  like  unto  him  was  there  no  king  be- 
fore him,  that  turned  to  the  Lord  with  all  his  heart, 
and  with  all  his  soul,  and  with  all  his  might,  accord- 
ing to  all  the  law  of  Mo'ses ;  neither  after  him  arose 

26  there  any  like  him.  Notwithstanding  the  Lord 
turned  not  from  the  fierceness  of  his  great  wrath, 
wherewith  his  anger  was  kindled  against  Ju'dah,  be- 
cause of  all  the  provocations  that  Ma-nas'seh  had  pro- 

27voked  him  withal.  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will  re- 
move Ju'dah  also  out  of  my  sight,  as  I  have  removed 
Is'ra-el,  and  I  will  cast  off  this  city  which  I  have 
chosen,  even  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  house  of  which  I 

28  said.  My  name  shall  be  there.  Now  the  rest  of  the 
acts  of  Jo-si'ah,  and  all  that  he  did,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings 

29 of  Ju'dah?  ^In  his  days  Pha'raoh-ne'coh  king  of 
E'gypt  went  up  against  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  to  the 
river  Eu-phra'tes:  and  king  Jo-si'ah  went  again.st  him; 
and  he  slew  him  at  Me-gid'do,  when  he  had  seen  him. 

30  And  his  servants  carried  him  in  a  chariot  dead  from 
Me-gid'do,and  brought  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,and  buried 
him  in  his  own  sepulchre.  *And  the  people  of  the 
land  took  Je-ho'a-haz  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah,  and  anointed 
him,  and  made  him  king  in  his  father's  stead. 

31  Je-ho'a-haz  was  twenty  and  three  years  old  when 
he  began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  three  months  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  his  mother's  name  was  Ha-mu'tal  the 

32  daughter  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  of  Lib'nah.  And  he  did  that 
which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  according 

33  to  all  that  his  fathers  had  done.  And  Pha'raoh- 
ne'coh  put  him  in  bands  at  Rib'lah  in  the  land  of 
Ha'math,  'that  he  might  not  reign  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
and  put  the  land  to  a  ^tribute  of  an  hundred  talents 

34  of  silver,  and  a  talent  of  gold.  And  Pha'raoh-ne'coh 
made  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  in  the  room 
of  Jo-si'ah  his  father,  and  changed  his  name  to  Je-hoi'- 
a-kim :  but  he  took  Je-ho'a-haz  away ;  and  he  came  to 

35  E'gypt,  and  died  there.  And  Je-hoi'a-kim  gave  the 
silver  and  the  gold  to  Pha'raoh ;  but  he  taxed  the 
land  to  give  the  money  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  Pha'raoh :  he  exacted  the  silver  and  the 
gold  of  the  people  of  the  land,  of  every  one  ac- 
cording to  his  taxation,  to  give  it  unto  Pha'raoh- 
ne'coh.

he  began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  eleven  years 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  his  mother's  name  was  Ze-bi'- 

37dah  the  daughter  of  Pe-da'iah  of  Ru'mah.  And 
he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the

CHAPTER   XXIV. 

Jehoiachin^s  evil  reign—Jerusalem  is  taken. 

IN  "his  days  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came 
up,  and  Je-hoi'a-kim  became  his  servant  three  years:  then 
he  turned  and  rebelled  against  him. 

2  'And  the  Lord  sent  against  him  bands  of  the  Chal-dees, 
and  bands  of  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  bands  of  the  Mo'ab-ites,  and 
bands  of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  sent  them  against 
Ju'dah  to  destroy  it,  'according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  spake  fby  his  servants  the  prophets. 

3  Surely  at  the  commandment  of  the  Lobd  came  thh  upon 
Ju'dah,  to  remove  them  out  of  his  sight,  ''for  the  sins  of 
Ma-nas'seh,  according  to  all  that  he  did; 

4  'And  also  for  the  innocent  blood  that  he  shed:  for  he  filled 
Je-ru'sa-lem  with  innocent  blood ;  which  the  Lord  would  not 
pardon. 

5  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  and  all  that  he 
did,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles  of 
the  kings  of  Ju'dah? 

6  ^So  Je-hoi'a-kim  slept  with  his  fathers :  and  Je-hoi'a-chin 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

7  And  'the  king  of  E'gypt  came  not  again  any  more  out 
of  his  land :  for  "the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  taken  from  the 
river  of  E'gypt  unto  the  river  Eu-phra'tes  all  that  pertained 
to  the  king  of  E'gypt. 

8  '^11 'Je-hoi'a-chin  was  eighteen  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  three  months.  And 
his  mother's  name  was  Ne-hush'ta,  the  daughter  of  El' na-than 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9  And  he  did  thai  tohich  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  according  to  all  that  his  father  had  done. 

10  'iy*At  that  time  the  servants  of  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  up  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the 
city  fwas  besieged. 

11  And  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  against 
the  city,  and  his  servants  did  besiege  it. 

12  'And  Je-hoi'a-chin  the  king  of  Ju'dah  went  out  to  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  he,  and  his  mother,  and  his  servants,  and 
his  princes,  and  his  ||  officers:  ""and  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
"took  him  "in  the  eighth  year  of  his  reign. 

13  "And  he  carried  out  thence  all  the  treasures  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the  king's  house,  and  'cut  in 
pieces  all  the  vessels  of  gold  which  Sol'o-mon  king  of  Is'ra-el 
had  made  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  'as  the  Lord  had  said. 

14  And  'he  carried  away  all  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the  princes, 
and  all  the  mighty  men  of  valour,  'even  ten  thousand  cap- 
tives, and  "all  the  craftsmen  and  smiths:  none  remained, 
save  "'the  poorest  sort  of  the  people  of  the  land. 

15  And  "he  carried  away  Je-hoi'a-chin  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  the 
king's  mother,  and  the  king's  wives,  and  his  ||  officers,  and 
the  mighty  of  the  land,  those  carried  he  into  captivity  from 
Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Bab'y-lon. 

16  And  'all  the  men  of  might,  even  seven  thousand,  and  crafts- 
men and  smiths  a  thousand,  all  that  were  strong  and  apt  for  war, 
even  them  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  brought  captive  to  Bab'y-lon. 

1 7  ^And "the kingof  Bab y-lon  made Mat-ta-ni'ah 'his father's 
brother  king  in  his  stead,  and  'changed  his  name  to  Zed-e-ki'ah. 

18  ''Zed-e-ki'ah  wa«twenty  and  oneyearsold  when  he  began  to

19  •'^And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Je-hoi'a-kim  had  done. 

20  For  through  the  anger  of  the  Lord  it  came  to  pass  in  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  until  he  had  cast  them  out  from  his  pres- 
ence, 'that  Zed-e-ki'ah  rebelled  against  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon. 

CHAPTER  XXV. 

Zedekiah  taken^  hts  sons  slain,  and  his  eyes  put  out. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  "in  the  ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in 
the  tenth  month,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the  month,  that 


^^  Inhisdays  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came 
up,  and  Je-hoi'a-kim  became  his  servant  three  years : 

2  then  he  turned  and  rebelled  against  him.  And  the 
Lord  sent  against  him  bands  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and 
bands  of  the  Syr'i-ans,  and  bands  of  the  Mo'ab-ites,  and 
bands  of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  sent  them 
against  Ju'dah  to  destroy  it,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by  the  hand  of  his  serv- 

3  ants  the  prophets.  Surely  at  the  commandment  of 
the  Lord  came  this  upon  Ju'dah,  to  remove  them 
out  of  his  sight,  for  the  sins  of  Ma-nas'seh,  according 

4 to  all  that  he  did;  and  also  for  the  innocent  blood 
that  he  shed ;  for  he  filled  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  innocent 

5  blood :  and  the  Lord  would  not  pardon.  Now  the 
rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  and  all  that  he  did,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  of  the 

6  kings  of  Ju'dah?  So  Je-hoi'a-kim  slept  with  his  fathers: 

7  and  Je-hoi'a-chin  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.  And 
the  king  of  E'gypt  came  not  again  any  more  out  of 
his  land:  for  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  taken,  from 
the  brook  of  E'gypt  unto  the  river  Eu-phra'tes,  all 
that  pertained  to  the  king  of  E'gypt. 

8  Je-hoi'a-chin  was  eighteen  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign;  and  he  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  three  months: 
and  his  mother's  name  was  Ne-hush'ta  the  daughter 

9  of  El'na-than  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  according  to  all 

10  that  his  father  had  done.  At  that  time  the  servants 
of  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  up  to 

1 1  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  city  was  besieged.  And  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  unto  the  city, 

12while  his  servants  were  besieging  it;  and  Je-hoi'a-chin 
the  king  of  Ju'dah  went  out  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 
he,  and  his  mother,  and  his  servants,  and  his  princes, 
and  his  'officers :  and  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  took  him 

13  in  the  eighth  year  of  his  reign.  And  he  carried  out 
thence  all  the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  treasures  of  the  king's  house,  and  cut  in 
pieces  all  the  vessels  of  gold  which  Sol'o-mon  king 
of  Is'ra-el  had  made  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  as 

14  the  Lord  had  said.  And  he  carrieu  away  all  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  all  the  princes,  and  all  the  mighty  men 
of  valour,  even  ten  thousand  captives,  and  all  the 
craftsmen  and  the  smiths;  none  remained,  save  the 

15  poorest  sort  of  the  people  of  the  land.  And  he 
carried  away  Je-hoi'a-chin  to  Bab'y-lon;  and  the  king's 
mother,  and  the  king's  wives,  and  his  'officers,  and 
the  ^chief  men  of  the  land,  carried  he  into  captivity 

16  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Bab'y-lon.  And  all  the  men  of 
might,  even  seven  thousand,  and  the  craftsmen  and 
the  smiths  a  thousand,  all  of  them  strong  and  apt 
for  war,  even  them  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  brought 

17  captive  to  Bab'y-lon.  ^And  the  king  of  Bab'7-lon 
made  Mat-ta-ni'ah  his  father's  brother  king  in  his 
stead,  and  changed  his  name  to  Zed-e-ki'ah. 

18  *Zed-e-ki'ah  was  twenty  and  one  years  old  when 
he  began  to  rfiign ;  and  he  reigned  eleven  years 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem :    and  his  mother's  name  was  'Ha- 

19  mu'tal  the  daughter  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  of  Lib'nah.  And 
he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  according  to  all  that  Je-hoi'a-kim  had  done. 

20  For  through  the  anger  of  the  Lord  did  it  come 
to  pass  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  until  he  liad  cast 

^K  them  out  from  his  presence:    and  Zed-e-ki'ah  re- 

^0  belled  against  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon.     'And  it  came 

to   pass   in   the    ninth    year    of   his    reign,  in   the

Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Baby-Ion  camCj  he,  and  all  his 
host,  against  Je-ru'sa-iem,  and  pitched  against  it;  and  they 
built  forts  against  it  round  about. 

2  And  the  city  was  besieged  unto  the  eleventh  year  of 
king  Zed-e-ki'ah. 

3  And  on  the  ninth  day  of  the  ''fourth  month  the  famine 
prevailed  in  the  city,  and  there  was  no  bread  for  the  people 
of  the  land. 

4  ^And  "the  city  was  broken  up,  and  all  the  men  of  war 
fled  by  night  by  the  way  of  the  gate  between  two  walls, 
which  is  by  the  king's  garden :  (now  the  Chal-dees  we>-e 
against  the  city  round  about:)  i>nd  ''the  king  went  the  way 
toward  the  plain. 

5  And  the  army  of  the  Chal-dees  pursued  after  the  king, 
and  overtook  him  in  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho  :  and  all  his 
army  were  scattered  from  him. 

6  So  they  took  the  king,  and  brought  him  up  to  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon  'to  Rib'lah ;  and  they  fgave  judgment  upon  him. 

7  And  they  slew  the  sons  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  before  his  eyes, 
and  t^put  out  the  eyes  of  Zed-e-ki'ah,  and  bound  him  with 
fetters  of  brass,  and  carried  him  to  Bab'y-lon. 

8  ^And  in  the  fifth  month,  "on  the  .seventh  day  of  the 
month,  which  is  'the  nineteenth  year  of  king  Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  'came  Neb-u-zar-a'dan,  ||  captain  of 
the  guard,  a  servant  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem: 

9  *And  he  burnt  the  hou.se  of  the  Lord,  'and  the  king's 
house,  and  all  the  houses  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  every  great 
man's  house  burnt  he  with  fire. 

10  And  all  the  army  of  the  Chal-dees,  that  toere  with  the 
captain  of  the  guard,  "'brake  down  the  walls  of  Jeru'sa-lem 
round  about. 

11  "Now  the  rest  of  the  people  that  were  left  in  the  city, 
and  the  ffugitives  that  fell  away  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 
with  the  remnant  of  the  multitude,  did  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the 
captain  of  the  guard  carry  away. 

12  But  the  captain  of  the  guard  "left  of  the  poor  of  the 
land  to  be  vinedressers  and  husbandmen. 

13  And  "the  'pillars  of  brass  that  wei-e  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  ""the  bases,  and  'the  brazen  sea  that  was  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  did  the  Chal-dees  break  in  pieces,  and 
carried  the  brass  of  them  to  Bab'y-lon. 

14  And  'the  pots,  and  the  shovels,  and  the  snuffers,  and 
the  spoons,  and  all  the  vessels  of  brass  wherewith  they 
mini.stered,  took  they  away. 

15  And  the  firepans,  and  the  bowls,  and  such  things  as 
were  of  gold,  in  gold,  and  of  silver,  in  silver,  the  captain 
of  the  guard  took  away. 

16  The  two  pillars,  tone  sea,  and  the  bases  which  Sol'o-mon 
ai  made  for  the  house  of  the   Lord;  "the  brass  of  all 

these  vessels  was  without  weight. 

17  "^The  height  of  the  one  pillar  was  eighteen  cubits,  and 
the  chapiter  upon  it  was  brass :  and  the  height  of  the  chapiter 
three  cubits;  and  the  wreathen  work,  and  pomegranates 
upon  the  chapiter  round  about,  all  of  brass ;  and  like  unto 
these  had  the  second  pillar  with  wreathen  work. 

18  TI^And  the  captain  of  the  guard  took  'Ser-a-i'ah  the 
chief  priest,  and  '■Ze])h-a-ni'ah  the  second  priest,  and  the 
three  keepers  of  the  fdoor : 

19  And  out  of  the  city  he  took  an  ||  officer  that  was  set 
over  the  men  of  war,  and  ''five  men  of  them  that  fwere  in 
the  king's  presence,  which  were  found  in  the  city,  and  the 
II  principal  scribe  of  the  host,  which  mustered  the  people 
o'f  the  land,  and  threescore  men  of  the  people  of  the  land 
that  were  found  in  the  city : 

20  And  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  captain  of  the  guard  took  these, 
and  brought  them  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah : 

21  And  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  smote  them,  and  slew  them 
at  Rib'lah  in  the  land  of  Ha'math.  ''So  Ju'dah  was  carried 
away  out  of  their  land. 


Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came,  he  and  all 
his  army,  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  encamped  against 

2  it ;  and  they  built  forts  against  it  round  about.  So 
the  city  was  besieged  unto  the  eleventh  year  of  king 

3  Zed-e-ki'ah.  On  the  ninth  day  of  the  fourth  month  the 
famine  was  sore  in  the  city,  so  that  there  was  no  bread 

4  for  the  people  of  the  land.  Then  a  breach  was  made 
in  the  city,  and  all  the  men  o{  vfar  fled  by  night  by 
the  way  of  the  gate  between  the  two  walls,  which 
was  by  the  king's  garden :  (now  the  Chal-de'ans  were 
against  the  city  round  about:)  and  the  king  went  by 

5  the  way  of  the  Ar'a-bah.     But  the  army  of  the  Chal 
de'ans  pursued  after  the  king,  and  overtook  him  in 
the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho :  and  all  his  army  was  scattered 

6  from  him.  Then  they  took  the  king,  and  carried 
him  up  unto  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah ;  and 

7  they  'gave  judgement  upon  him.  And  they  slew 
the  sons  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  before  his  eyes,  and  put  out 
the  eyes  of  Zed-e-ki'ah,  and  bound  him  in  fetters, 
and  carried  him  to  Bab'y-lon. 

8  Now  in  the  fifth  month,  on  the  seventh  day  of  the 
month,  which  was  the  nineteenth  year  of  king  Neb-u 
chad-nez'zar,  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  came  Neb-u-zar-a'dan 
the  captain  of  the  guard,  a  servant  of  the  king  of  Bab'y- 

9  Ion,  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  he  burnt  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  king's  house ;  and  all  the  houses  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  even  every  great  house,  burnt  he  with 

10  fire.  And  all  the  army  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  that  were 
with  the  captain  of  the  guard,  brake  down  t'sie  walls 

1 1  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  round  about.  And  the  residue  of  the 
people  that  were  left  in  the  city,  and  those  that  ifell 
away,  that  fell  to  the  kingof  Bab'y-lon,  and  the  residue 
of  the  multitude,  didNeb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the 

12  guard  carry  away  captive.  But  the  captain  of  the 
guard  left  of  the  poorest  of  the  land  to  be  vine 

13  dressers  and  husbandmen.  And  the  pillars  of  brass 
that  were  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  bases 
and  the  brasen  sea  that  were  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  did  the  Chal-de'ans  break  in  pieces,  and  carried 

14  the  brass  of  them  to  Bab'y-lon.  And  the  pots,  and 
the  shovels,  and  the  snuffers,  and  the  spoons,  and  all 
the  vessels  of  brass  wherewith  they  ministered,  took 

15 they  away.  And  the  firepans,  and  the  basons;  that 
which  was  of  gold,  in  gold,  and  that  which  was  of 
silver,  in  silver,  the  captain  of  the  guard  took  away. 

16  The  two  pillars,  the  one  sea,  and  the  bases,  which 
Sol'o-mon  had  made  for  the  house  of  the  Lord  ;  the 

17  brass  of  all  these  vessels  was  without  weight.  The 
height  of  the  one  pillar  was  eighteen  cubits,  and  a 
chapiter  of  brass  was  upon  it:  and  the  height  of  the 
chapiter  was  three  cubits;  with  network  and  pome- 
granates upon  the  chapiter  round  about,  all  of  brass : 
and  like  unto  these  had  the  second  pillar  with  net- 

18  work.  And  the  captain  of  the  guard  took  Ser-a-i'ah 
the  chief  priest,  and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  second  priest, 

19  and  the  three  keepers  of  the  Moor :  and  out  of  the 
city  he  took  an  ^officer  that  was  set  over  the  men 
of  war :  and  five  men  of  them  that  saw  the  king's 
face,  which  were  found  in  the  city;  and  the  *scribe, 
the  captain  of  the  host,  which  mustered  the  people 
of  the  land;  and  threescore  men  of  the  people  of 

20  the  land  that  were  found  in  the  city.  And  Neb- 
u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  took  them,  and 
brought  them  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah. 

21  And  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  smote  them,  and  put  them 
to  death  at  Rib'lah  in  the  land  of  Ha'math.  So 
Ju'dah  was  carried  away  captive  out  of  his  land.

22  ^■'Aad  as  for  the  people  that  remained  in  the  land  of 
Ju'dah,  whom  Ne-bu-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  left, 
even  over  them  he  made  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam,  the 
son  of  Sha'phan,  ruler. 

23  And  when  all  the  'captains  of  the  armies,  they  and  their 
men,  heard  that  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  made  Ged-a-li'ah 
governor,  there  came  to  Ged-a-li'ah  to  Miz'pah,  even  Ish'ma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  and  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ca-re'ah,  and 
Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Tan'hu-meth  the  Ne-toph'a-thite,  and

24  And  Ged-a-li'ah  sware  to  them,  and  to  their  men,  and 
said  unto  them.  Fear  not  to  be  the  servants  of  the  Chal-dees : 
dwell  in  the  land,  and  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon ;  and  it 
shall  be  well  with  you. 

25  But-^it  came  to  pass  in  the  seventh  month,  that  Ish'ma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  the  son  of  E-lish'a-ma,  of  the  seed 
froyal,  came,  and  ten  men  with  him,  and  smote  Ged-a-li'ah, 
that  he  died,  and  the  Jews  and  the  Chal-dees  that  were  with 
him  at  Miz'pah. 

26  And  all  the  people,  both  small  and  great,  and  the  cap- 
tains of  the  armies,  arose,  "and  came  to  E'gypt :  for  they

27  "[['And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seven  and  thirtieth  year 
of  the  captivity  of  Je-hoi'a-chin  king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the  twelfth 
month,  on  the  seven  and  twentieth  day  of  the  month,  that

29  And  changed  his  prison  garments:  and  he  did  *eat 
bread  continually  before  him  all  the  days  of  his  life. 

30  And  his  allowance  was  a  continual  allowance  given  him 
by  the  king,  a  daily  rate  for  every  day,  all  the  days  of  his  life. 


22  And  as  for  the  people  that  were  left  in  the  land  of 
Ju'dah,  whom  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
had  left,  even  over  them  he  made  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son 
of  A-hi'kim,  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  governor. 

23  'Now  when  all  the  captains  of  the  forces,  they  and 
their  men,  heard  that  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  made 
Ged-a-li'ah  governor,  they  came  to  Ged-a-li'ah  to  Miz'- 
pah, even  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  Jo-

24  son  of  the  Ma-ac'a-thite,  they  and  their  men.  And  Ged- 
a-li'ah  sware  to  them  and  to  their  men,  and  .said  unto 
them.  Fear  not  because  of  the  servants  of  the  Chal- 
de'ans :  dwell  in  the  land,  and  serve  the  king  of  Bab'- 

25  y-lon,  and  it  shall  be  well  with  you.  ^But  it  came 
to  pass  in  the  seventh  month,  that  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 
Neth-a-ni'ah,  the  son  of  E-lish'a-ma,  of  the  .seed  royal, 
came,and  ten  men  with  him,and  smote  Ged-a-li'ah,  that 
he  died,  and  the  Jews  and  the  Chal-de'ans  that  were 

26  with  him  at  Miz'pah.  And  all  the  people,  both  small 
and  great,  and  the  captains  of  the  forces,  arose,  and 
came  to  E'gypt:  for  they  were  afraid  of  the  Chal-de'ans. 

27  'And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seven  and  thirtieth

41  And  these  written  by  name  came  in  the  days  of  Hez-e-

were  the  potters,  and  Hhe  inhabitants  of  Ne-ta'im 
and  Ged'e-rah :  there  they  dwelt  with  the  king  for

Shim'e-i  had  sixteen  sons  and  six  daughters;  but  his 
brethren  had  not  many  children,  neither  did  all  their 

28  family  multiply,  like  to  the  children  of  Ju'dah.  And 
they  dwelt  at  Be'er-she'ba,  and  Mol'a-dah ,and  Ha'zar-

39  fathers'  houses  increased  greatly.  And  they  went 
to  the  entering  in  of  Ge'dor,  even  unto  the  east  side 

40  of  the  valley,  to  seek  pasture  for  their  flocks.  And 
they  found  fat  pasture  and  good,  and  the  land  was 
wide,  and  quiet,  and  peaceable ;  for  they  that  dwelt

this  day,  and  dwelt  in  their  stead :  because  there  was 

42  pasture  there  for  their  flocks.  And  some  of  them,

2  For  ''Ju'dah  prevailed  above  his  brethren,  and  of  him 
came  the  'chief  ||  ruler;  but  the  birthright  was  Jo'seph's:) 

3  The  sons,  I  say,  of-'^Reu'ben  the  firstborn  of  Is'ra-el  were 
Ha'noch,  and  Pal'lu,  Hez'ron,  and  Car'mi. 

4  The  sons  of  Jo'el ;  Shem-a-i'ah  his  son,  Gog  his  son, 
Shim'e-i  his  son, 

5  Mi'cah  his  son,  Re-a-i'a  his  son,  Ba'al  his  son, 

6  Be-e'rah  his  son,  whom  ||  Til'gath-pil-ne'ser  king  of  As- 
syr'i-a  carried  away  captive:  he  was  prince  of  the  Reu'ben-ites. 

7  And  his  brethren  by  their  families,  "when  the  genealogy 
of  their  generations  was  reckoned,  were  the  chief,  Je-i'-el,  and 
Zech-a-ri'ah, 

8  And  Be'la  the  son  of  A'zaz,  the  son  of  ||  She'ma,  the  son 
of  Jo'el,  who  dwelt  in  *Ar'o-er,  even  unto  Ne'bo,  and  Ba'al- 
me'on : 

9  And  eastward  he  inhabited  unto  the  entering  in  of  the 
wilderness  from  the  river  Eu-phra'tes :  because  their  cattle 
were  multiplied  'in  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad. 

10  And  in  the  days  of  Saul  they  made  war  *with  the 
Ha'gar-ites,  who  fell  by  their  hand :  and  they  dwelt  in  their 
tents  fthroughout  all  the  east  land  of  Gil'e-ad. 

11  ^And  the  children  of  Gad  dwelt  over  against  them,  in 
the  land  of  'Ba'shan  unto  Sal'cah : 

12  Jo'el  the  chief,  and  Sha'pham  the  next,  and  Ja'a-nai,  and 
Sha'phat  in  Ba'shan. 

13  And  their  brethren  of  the  house  of  their  fathers  were, 
Mi'chael,  and  Me-shul'lam,  and  She'ba,  and  Jo'ra-i  and  Ja'- 
chan,  and  Zi'a,  and  He'ber,  seven. 

14  These  are  the  children  of  Ab-i-ha'il  the  son  of  Hu'ri,  the 
son  of  Ja-ro'ah,  the  son  of  Gil'e-ad,  the  son  of  Mi'chael,  the

15  A'hi  the  son  of  Ab'di-el,  the  son  of  Gu'ni,  chief  of  the 
house  of  their  fathers. 

16  And  they  dwelt  in  Gil'e-ad  in  Ba'shan,  and  in  her  towns, 
and  in  all  the  suburbs  of  ""Sha'ron,  upon  f  their  borders. 

17  All  these  were  reckoned  by  genealogies  in  the  days  of 
"Jo'tham  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  days  of  "Jer-o-bo'am 
king  of  Is'ra-el. 

18  ^The  sons  of  Reu'ben,  and  the  Gad'ites,  and  half  the 
tribe  ofMa-nas'seh,  fof  valiant  men,  men  able  to  bear  buckler 
and  sword,  and  to  shoot  with  bow,  and  skilful  in  war,  were 
four  and  forty  thousand  seven  hundred  and  threescore,  that 
went  out  to  the  war. 

19  And  they  made  war  with  the  Ha'gar-ites,  with  "Je'tur, 
and  Ne'phish  and  No'dab. 

20  And  'they  were  helped  against  them,  and  the  Ha'gar- 
ites  were  delivered  into  their  hand  and  all  that  were  with 
them :  for  they  cried  to  God  in  the  battle,  and  he  was  en- 
treated of  them ;  because  they  ""put  their  trust  in  him. 

21  And  they  ftook  away  their  cattle ;  of  their  camels  fifty 
thousand,  and  of  sheep  two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand,  and 
of  asses  two  thousand,  and  of  fmen  a  hundred  thousand. 

22  For  there  fell  down  many  slain,  because  the  war  wasoi 
God.     And  they  dwelt   in  their  steads  until  'the  captivity. 

23  And  the  children  of  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  dwelt 
in  the  land :  they  increased  from  Ba'shan  unto  Ba'al-her'mon 
and  Se'nir,  and  unto  mount  Her'mon. 

24  And  these  were  the  heads  of  the  house  of  their  fathers, 
even  E'pher,  and  I'shi,  and  E'li-el,  and  Az'ri-el,  and  Jer-e- 
mi'ah,  and  Hod-a-vi'ah  and  Jah'di-el,  mighty  men  of  valour, 
ffamous  men,  and  heads  of  the  house  of  their  fathers. 

25  ^And  they  trangressed  against  the  God  of  their 
fathers,  and  went  a  'whoring  after  the  gods  of  the  people  of 
the  land,  whom  God  destroyed  before  them. 

26  And  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  stirred  up  the  spirit  of  "Pul

sons  of  Jo'seph  the  son  of  Is'ra-el;  and  the  gene- 
alogy  is   not   to  be   reckoned  after  the  birthright. 

2  For  Ju'dah  prevailed  above  his  brethren,  and  of  him 
came  the  'prince ;  but  the  birthright  was  Jo'seph's ;)

ing in  of  the  wilderness  from  the  river  Eu-phra'tes  : 
because  their  cattle  were   multiplied  in  the  land  of 

10  Gil'e-ad.  And  in  the  days  of  Saul  they  made  war 
with  the  Hag'rites,  who  fell  by  their  hand :  and  they 
dwelt  in  their  tents  throughout  all  the  land  east  of 
Gil'e-ad. 

1 1  And  the  sons  of  Gad  dwelt  over  against  them,  in 

12  the  land  of  Ba'shan  unto  Sa'le-cah:  Jo'el  the  chief, 
and  Sha'pham  the  second,  and  Ja'nai,  and  Sha'phat

houses;  Mi'chael,  and  Me-shul'lam,  and  She'ba,  and 

14 Jo'ra-i,  and  Ja'can,  and  Zi'a,  and  E'ber,  seven.  These

15  Buz ;  A'hi  the  son  of  Ab'di-el,  the  son  of  Gu'ni,  chief 

16  of  their  fathers'  houses.  And  they  dwelt  in  Gil'e-ad 
in  Ba'shan,  and  in  her  Howns,  and  in  all  the  ^suburbs 

1 7  of  Sha'ron,  as  far  as  their  'borders.  AH  these  were

and  skilful  in  war,  were  forty  and  four  thousand 
seven  hundred  and  threescore,  that  were  able  to  go 

19  forth  to  war.     And  they  made  war  with  the  Hag'rites,

were  helped  against  them,  and  the  Hag'rites  were

Ko'rah-ites,  were  over  the  work  of  the  service,  keepers  of  the 
tgates  of  the  tabernacle:  and  their  fathers,  being  over  the 
host  of  the  Lord,  were  keepers  of  the  entry. 

20  And-'^Phin'e-has  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar  was  the  ruler  over 
them  in  time  past,  and  the  Lord  v)as  with  him. 

21  And  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Me-shel-e-mi'ah  was  porter 
of  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

22  All  these  tohich  ivere  chosen  to  be  porters  in  the  gates 
were  two  hundred  and  twelve.  These  were  reckoned  by 
their  genealogy  in  their  villages,  whom  "Da'vid  and  Sam'u-el 
*the  seer  fdid  ordain  in  their  ||set  office. 

23  So  they  and  their  children  had  the'  oversight  of  the 
gates  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  namely,  the  house  of  the 
tabernacle,  by  wards. 

24  In  four  quarters  were  the  porters,  toward  the  east, 
west,  north,  and  south. 

25  And  their  brethren,  which  were  in  their  villages,  were 
to  come  'after  seven  days  from  time  to  time  with  them. 

26  For  these  Le'vites,  the  four  chief  porters,  were  in  their 
II  set  office,  and  were  over  the  ||  chambers  and  treasuries  of 
the  house  of  God. 

27  ^And  they  lodged  round  about  the  house  of  God, 
because  the  charge  was  upon  them,  and  the  opening  thereof 
every  morning  pertained  to  them. 

28  And  certain  of  them  had  the  charge  of  the  ministering 
vessels,  that  they  should  fbring  them  in  and  out  by  tale. 

29  Some   of  them    also    were   appointed   to   oversee   the

18  who  hitherto  waited  in  the  king's    gate    eastward 
they  were  the  portens  for  the  camp  of  the  children 

19  of  Le'vi.  And  Shal'lum  the  son  of  Ko're,  the  son 
of  E-bi'a-saph,  the  son  of  Ko'rah,  and  his  brethren, 
of  his  father's  house,  the  Ko'rah-ites,  were  over  the

''tabernacle:  and   their   fathers   had    been   over  the 

20  camp  of  the  Lord,  keepers  of  the  entry ;  and 
Phin'e-has  the  son  of  E-le-a'zar  was  ruler  over  them  in 

21  time  past,  and  the  Lord  was  with  him.  Zech-a-ri'ah

22  the  tent  of  meeting.  All  these  which  were  chosen 
to  be  porters  in  the  'gates  were  two  hundred  and 
twelve.  These  were  reckoned  by  genealogy  in  their 
villages,  whom  Da'vid  and  Sam'u-el   the   seer    did 

23  ordain  in  their  'set  office.  So  they  and  their  chil- 
dren had  the  oversight  of  the  gates  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  even  the  house  of  the  tabernacle,  by 

24  wards.     *On  the  four  sides  were  the  porters,  toward

31  And  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  one  of  the  Le'vites,  who  was  the  first- 
born of  Shal'lum  the  Ko'rah-ite,  had  the  ||set  office  'over

Le'vites,  wfio  remaining  in  the  chambers  were  free :  for  fthey 
were  employed  in  that  work  day  and  night. 

34  These  chief  fathers  of  the  Le'vites  were  chief  through- 
out their  generations ;  these  dwelt  at  Je-ru'sa-lem.

CHAPTER  X. 

SauPs  overthrow— The  Philistines  triumph  over  Saul. 

"RJOW  "the  Phi-lis'tines  fought  against  Is'ra-el;  and  the 
-Ll  men  of  Is'ra-el  fled  from  before  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and 
fell  down  ||  slain  in  mount  Gil-bo'a. 

2  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  followed  hard  after  Saul,  and  after 
his  sons ;  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  slew  Jon'a-than,  and  ||  A-bin'- 
a-dab, and  Mal'chi-shu'a,  the  sons  of  Saul. 

3  And  the  battle  went  sore  again.st  Saul,  and  the  farchers 
fhit  him,  and  he  was  wounded  of  the  archers. 

4  Then  said  Saul  to  his  armourbearer.  Draw  thy  sword, 
and  thrust  me  through  therewith,  lest  these  uncircumcised, 
come  and  fabuse  me.  But  his  armourbearer  would  not ;  for 
he  was  sore  afraid.     So  Saul  took  a  sword,  and  fell  upon  it. 

5  And  when  his  armourbearer  saw  that  Saul  was  dead,  he 
fell  likewise  on  the  sword,  and  died. 

6  So  Saul  died,  and  his  three  sons,  and  all  his  house  died 
together. 

7  And  when  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  that  were  in  the  valley 
saw  that  they  fled,  and  that  Saul  and  his  sons  were  dead, 
then  they  forsook  their  cities,  and  fled :  and  the  Phi-lis'tines 
came  and  dwelt  in  them. 

8  l[And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  when  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines came  to  strip  the  slain,  that  they  found  Saul  and  his 
sons  fallen  in  mount  Gil-bo'a. 

9  And  when  they  had  stripped  him,  they  took  his  head,  and 
his  armour,  and  sent  into  the  iand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  round 
about,  to  carry  tidiugs  unto  tbeir  idols,  and  to  the  people. 

10  ''And  they  put  his  armour  in  the  house  of  their  gods, 
and  fastened  his  head  in  the  temple  of  Da'gon. 

11  ^And  when  all  Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  heard  all  that  the  Phi- 
lis'tines  had  done  to  Saul, 

12  They  arose,  all  the  valiant   men,  and  took  away  the 


furniture,  and  over  all  the  vessels   of  the   sanctu- 
ary, and  over  the  fine  flour,  and  the  wine,  and  the 

30  oil,  and  the  frankincense,  and  the  spices.  And 
some  of  the   sons  of  the  priests  prepared  the  con 

31  fection  of  the  spices.  And  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  one  of  the 
Le'vites,  who  was  the  firstborn  of  Shal'lum  the 
Ko'rah-ite,  had  the  set  office  over   the  things  that 

32  were  baked  in  pans.  And  some  of  their  brethren, 
of  the  sons  of  the  Ko'hath-ites,  were  over  the  shew- 

33  bread,  to  prepare  it  every  sabbath.  And  these  are 
the  singers,  heads  of  fathers'  houses  of  the  Le'vites, 
who  dwelt  in  the  chambers  and  were  free  from  other 
service:  for  they  were  employed  in  their  work  day 

34  and  night.  These  were  heads  of  fathers'  houses  of 
the  Le'vites,  throughout  their  generations,  chief 
men  :  these  dwelt  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

35  And  in  Gib'e-on  there  dwelt  the  father  of  Gib'e-on- 

36  Je-i'el,  whose  wife's  name  was  Ma'a-cah :  and  his  first, 
born  son  Ab'don,  and  Zur,  and  Kish,  and  Ba'al,  and 

37  Ner,  and  Na'dab ;  and  Ge'dor,  and  A-hi'o,  and  Zech-a- 

38  ri'ah,  and  Mik'loth.  And  Mik'loth  begat  Shim'e-am. 
And  they  also  dwelt  with  their  brethren  in  Je-ru'sa- 

391em,  over  against  their  brethren.  And  Ner  begat 
Kish ;  and  Kish  begat  Saul ;  and  Saul  begat  Jou'a- 
than,and  Mal'chi-shu'a,  and  A-bin'a-dab,  and  Esh'ba-al. 

40  And  the  son  of  Jon'a-than  was  Mer'ib-ba'al ;  andMer'ib- 

41  ba'al  begat  Mi'cah.    And  the  sons  of  Mi'cah ;  Pi'thon 

42  and  Me'lech,  and  Tah're-a,  'and  A'haz.  And  A'haz  be- 
gat Ja'rah;  and  Ja'rah  begat  Al'e-meth,  and  Az'ma-veth, 

43 and  Zim'ri ;  and  Zim'ri  begat  Mo'za :  and  Mo'za  begat 
Bin'e-a;  and  Reph-a-i'ah  his  son,  E-le'a-sahhis  son,  A'zel 

44  his  son :  and  A'zel  had  six  sons,  whose  names  are 
these;  Az'ri-kam,  Boch'e-ru,  and  Ish'ma-el,  and 
She-a-ri'ah,  and  0-ba-di'ah,  and  Ha'nan :  these  were 
the  sons  of  A'zel. 

J-v  2j^ow  the  Phi-lis'tines  fought  against  Is'ra-el ;  and 
the  men  of  Ls'ra-el  fled  from  before  the  Phi-lis'tines, 

2  and  fell  down  'slain  in  mount  Gil-bo'a.  And  the 
Phi-lis'tines  followed  hard  after  Saul  and  after  his 
sons;  and  the  Phi-lis'tinesslewJon'a-than,and^A-bin'- 

3  a-dab,  and  Mal'chi-shu'a,  the  sons  of  Saul.  And  the 
battle  went  sore  against  Saul,  and  the  archers  over- 
took him ;  and  he  was  distressed  by  reason  -oi  the 

4  archers.  Then  said  Saul  unto  his  armourbearer, 
Draw  thy  sword,  and  thrust  me  through  therewith; 
lest  these  uncircumcised  come  and  '^abuse  me.  But 
his  armourbearer  would  not;  for  he  was  sore  afraid. 
Therefore   Saul  took   his  sword,  and   fell   upon   it. 

5  And  when  his  armourbearer  saw  that  Saul  was 
dead,  he  likewise   fell   upon  his  sword,   and  died. 

6 So  Saul  died,  and  his  three  sons;  and  all  his  house 

7  died  together.  And  when  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el 
that  were  in  the  valley  saw  that  they  fled,  and  that 
Saul  and  his  sons  were  dead,  they  forsook  their 
cities,  and  fled ;  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  and  dwelt 
in  them. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morroM',  when  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines came  to  strip  the  slain,  that  they  found  Saul  and 

9  his  sons  fallen  in  mount  Gil-bo'a.  And  they  stripped 
him,  and  took  his  head,  and  his  armour,  and  sent  into 
the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  round  about,  to  carry  the 

10  tidings  unto  their  idols,  and  to  the  people.  And  they 
put  his  armour  in  the  house  of  their  gods,  and  fast- 

11  ened  his  head  in  the  house  of  Da'gon.  And  when  all 
Ja'besh-gil'e-ad  heard  all  that  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  done 

12  to  Saul,  all  the  valiant  men  arose,  and  took  away  the

them  to  Ja'besh,  and  buried  their  bones  under  the  oak  in 
Ja'besh,  and  fasted  seven  days.  , 

13  ^So  Saul  died  for  his  transgression  which  he  fcom- 
mitted  against  the  Lord,  'even  against  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  kept  not,  and  also  for  asking  counsel  of 
one  that  had  a  familiar  spirit,  ''to  inquire  of  it; 

14  And  inquired  not  of  the  Lord  :  therefore  he  slew  him, 
and  'turned  the  kingdom  unto  Da'vid  the  son  of  fJes'se. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

David  by  a  general  consent  is  made  king  at  Hebron. 

rnHEN  "all  Is'ra-el  gathered  themselves  to  Da'vid  unto 
J-    He'bron,  saying.  Behold,  we  are  thy  bone  and  thy  flesh. 

2  And  moreover  fin  time  past,  even  when  Saul  was  king, 
thou  loast  he  that  leddest  out  and  broughtest  in  Is'ra-el :  and 
the  Lord  thy  God  said  unto  thee.  Thou  shalt  ||''feed  my  peo- 
ple Is'ra-el,  and  thou  shalt  be  ruler  over  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

3  Therefore  came  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  to  the  king  to 
He'bron ;  and  Da'vid  made  a  covenant  with  them  in  He'bron 
before  the  Lord  ;  and  "they  anointed  Da'vid  king  over  Is'- 
ra-el, according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord  fby  ''Sam'u-el. 

4  5[And  Da'vid  andall  Is'ra-el  'went  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  is 
Je'busjAvherethe  Jeb'u-sites  were,  the  inhabitants  of  the  land. 

5  And  the  inhabitants  of  Je'bus  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  shalt 
not  come  hither.  Nevertheless  Da'vid  took  the  castle  of 
Zi'on,  which  is  the  city  of  Da'vid. 

6  And  Da'vid  said,  Whosoever  smiteth  the  Jeb'u-sites  first 
shall  be  fchief  and  captain.  So  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah 
went  first  up,  and  was  chief. 

7  And  Da'vid  dwelt  in  the  castle;  therefore  they  called 
II  it  the  city  of  Da'vid. 

8  And  he  built  the  city  round  about,  even  from  Mil'lo 
round  about:  and  Jo'ab  frepaired  the  rest  of  the  city. 

9  So  Da'vid  fwaxed  greater  and  greater :  for  the  Lord  of 
hosts  was  with  him. 

10  ^"These  also  are  the  chief  of  the  mighty  men  whom 
Da'vid  had,  who  ||  strengthened  themselves  with  him  in  his 
kingdom,  and  with  all  Is'ra-el,  to  make  him  king  according 
to  ''the  word  of  the  Lord  concerning  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  this  is  the  number  of  the  mighty  men  whom 
Da'vid  had;  Ja-sho'be-ara  ||a  Hach'mo-nite,  thechief  of  the 
captains :  he  lifted  up  his  spear  against  three  hundred  slain 
by  him  at  one  time. 

12  And  after  him  was  E-le-a'zar  the  son  of  Do'do,the  A-ho'- 
hite,  who  was  one  of  the  three  mighties. 

13  He  was  with  Da'vid  at  ||  Pas-dara'mim,  and  there  the 
Phi-lis'tines  were  gathered  together  to  battle,  where  was  a 
parcel  of  ground  full  of  barley;  and  the  people  fled  from 
before  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

14  And  they  ||set  themselves  in  the  midst  of  that  parcel, 
and  delivered  it,  and  slew  the  Phi-lis'tines;  and  the  Lord 
saved  them  by  a  great  ||  deliverance. 

15  %Now  II  three  of  the  thirty  captains  'went  down  to 
the  rock  to  Da'vid,  into  the  cave  of  A-dul'lam  ;  and  the  host 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  encamped  *in  the  valley  of  Reph'a-im. 

16  And  Da'vid  was  then  in  the  hold,  and  the  Phi-lis'tines' 
garrison  was  then  at  Beth'-le-hem. 

17  And  Da'vid  longed,  and  said,  Oh  that  one  would  give 
me  drink  of  the  water  of  the  well  of  Beth'-le-hem,  that  is 
at  the  gate! 

18  And  the  three  brake  through  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines, and  drew  water  out  of  the  well  of  Beth'-le-hem,  that 
was  by  the  gate,  and  took  it,  and  brought  it  to  Da'vid :  but 
Da'vid  would  not  drink  of  it,  but  poured  it  out  to  the  Lord, 

19  And  said.  My  God  forbid  it  me,  that  I  should  do  this 
thing :  shall  I  drink  the  blood  of  the.se  men  f  that  have  put 
their  lives  in  jeopardy?  for  with  the  jeopardy  of  their  lives 
they  brought  it.  Therefore  he  would  not  drink  it.  These 
things  did  these  three  mightiest. 


body  of  Saul,  and  the  bodies  of  his  sons,  and  brought 
them  to  Ja'besh,  and  buried  their  bones  under  the 

13  'oak  in  Ja'besh,  and  fasted  seven  days.  So  Saul  died 
^for  his  trespass  which  he  committed  against  the 
Lord,  because  of  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he 
kept  not ;  and  also  for  that  he  asked  counsel  of  one 

14  that  had  a  familiar  spirit,  to  inquire  thereby,  and  in- 
quired not  of  the  Lord  :  therefore  he  slew  him,  and 
turned  the  kingdom  unto  Da'vid  the  son  of  Jes'se. 

J-J-  ^Then  all  Is'ra-el  gathered  themselves  to  Da'vid 
unto  He'bron,  saying,  Behold,  we  are  thy  bone  and 

2  thy  flesh.  In  times  past,  even  when  Saul  was  king, 
it  was  thou  that  leddest  out  and  broughtest  in  Is'- 
ra-el: and  the  Lord  thy  God  said  unto  thee.  Thou 
shalt  feed  my  people  Is'ra-el,  and  thou  shalt  be  ^prince 

3  over  my  people  Is'ra-el.  So  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el 
came  to  the  king  to  He'bron;  and  Da'vid  made  a 
covenant  with  them  in  He'bron  before  the  Lord; 
and  they  anointed  Da'vid  king  over  Is'ra-el,  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  Sam'- 

4  u-el.  And  Da'vid  and  all  Is'ra-el  went  to  Je-ru'sa-lem 
(the  same  is  Je'bus) ;  and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  the  inhab- 

5  itants  of  the  land  were  there.  And  the  inhabitants 
of  Je'bus  said  to  Da'vid,  Thou  shalt  not  come  in 
hither.     Nevertheless  Da'vid  took  the  strong  hold 

6  of  Zi'on  ;  the  same  is  the  city  of  Da'vid.  And  Da'vid 
said.  Whosoever  smiteth  the  Jeb'u-sites  first  shall  be 
chief  and  captain.     And  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah 

7  went  up  first,  and  was  made  chief.  And  Da'vid 
dwelt   in   the    strong   hold;    therefore   they  called 

8  it  the  city  of  Da'vid.  And  he  built  the  city  round 
about,  from  Mil'lo  even   round  about :    and   Jo'ab 

9 'repaired  the  rest  of  the  city.  And  Da'vid  Maxed 
greater  and  greater;  for  the  Lord  of  hosts  was 
with  him. 

10  'Now  these  are  the  chief  of  the  mighty  men  whom 
Da'vid  had,  who  ^shewed  themselves  strong  with  him 
in  his  kingdom,  together  with  all  Is'ra-el  to  make 
him  king,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord  con- 

llcerning  Is'ra-el.  And  this  is  the  number  of  the 
mighty  men  whom  Da'vid  had :  Ja-sho'be-am,  the 
son  of  a  Hach'mo-nite,  the  chief  of  the  ^thirty ;  he 
lifted  up  his  spear  against  three  hundred  "and  slew 

12  them  at  one  time.  And  after  him  was  E-le-a'zar  the 
son  of  Do'do,  the  A-ho'hite,  who  was  one  of  the  three 

13  mighty  men.  He  was  with  Da'vid  at  '"Pas-dam'mim, 
and  there  the  Phi-lis'tines  were  gathered  together  to 
battle,  where  was  a  plot  of  ground  full  of  barley; 
and  the  people  fled  from   before   the   Phi-lis'tines. 

14  And  they  stood  in  the  midst  of  the  plot,  and  de- 
fended it,  and  slew  the  Phi-lis'tines ;  and  the  Lord 

15  saved  them  by  a  great  "victory.  And  three  of  the 
thirty  chief  went  down  to  the  rock  to  Da'vid,  into  the 
cave  of  A-dul'lam;  and  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  were 

16  encamped  in  the  valley  of  Reph'a-im.  And  Da'vid  was 
then  in  the  hold,and  the  garrison  of  thePhi-lis'tineswas 

17  then  in  Beth'-le-hem.  And  Da'vid  longed,and  said,Oh 
that  one  would  give  me  water  to  drink  of  the  well  of 

18  Beth'-le-hem,whichisby  thegate!  And  the  three  brake 
through  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  drew  water 
out  of  the  well  of  Beth'-le-hem,  that  was  by  the  gate, 
and  took  it,  and  brought  it  to  Da'vid :  but  Da'vid  would 
not  drink  thereof,  but  poured  it  out  unto  the  Lord, 

19  and  said.  My  God  forbid  it  me,  that  I  should  do 
this :  shall  I  drink  the  blood  of  these  men  "that  have 
put  their  lives  in  jeopardy?  for  with  the  jeopardy  of 
their  lives  they  brought  it.  Therefore  he  would  not 
drink  it.     These  things  did  the  three  mighty  men.

"VrOW  "these  are  they  that  oame  to  Da'vid  to ''Zik'lag,! while 
i-'  he  yet  kept  himself  close  because  of  Saul  the  son  of  Kish : 
and  they  were  among  the  mighty  men,  helpers  of  the  war. 

2  They  were  armed  with  bows,  and  could  use  both  the 
right  hand  and  "^the  left  in  hurling  stones,  and  shooting  ar- 
rows out  of  a  bow,  even  of  Saul's  brethren  of  Ben'ja-min.

had  done  mighty  deeds,  he  slew  the  two  sows  of  A'ri-el 
of  Mo'ab :  he  went  down  also  and  slew  a  lion  in  the 

23  midst  of  a  pit  in  time  of  snow.  And  he  slew  an 
E-gyp'tian,  a  man  of  great  stature,  five  cubits  high;

8  And  of  the  Gad'ites  there  separated  themselves  unto 
Da'vid  into  the  hold  to  the  wilderness  men  of  might,  and 
men  fof  war  Jit  for  the  battle,  that  could  handle  shield  and 
buckler,  whose  faces  were  like  the  faces  of  lions,  and  were 
''fas  swift  as  the  roes  upon  the  mountains ; 

9  E'zer  the  first,  O-ba-di'ah  the  second,  E-li'ab  the  third, 

10  Mish-man'nah  the  fourth,  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  fifth, 

11  At'tai  the  sixth,  E'li-el  the  seventh, 

12  Jo-ha'nan  the  eighth,  El'za-bad  the  ninth, 

13  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  tenth,  Mach'ba-nai  the  eleventh. 

14  These  roere  of  the  sons  of  Gad,  captains  of  the  host : 
II  one  of  the  least  was  over  a  hundred,  and  the  greatest  over 
a  thou-sand. 

15  These  are  they  that  went  over  Jor'dan  in  the  first 
month,  when  it  had  foverflown  all  his  ^banks;  and  they 
put  to  flight  all  them  of  the  valleys,  both  toward  the  east, 
and  toward  the  west. 

16  And  there  came  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  and  Ju'- 
dah  to  the  hold  unto  Da'vid. 

17  And  Da'vid  went  out  fto  meet  them,  and  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  If  ye  be  come  peaceably  unto  me  to  help 
me,  mine  heart  shall  fhe  knit  unto  you :  but  if  ye  be  come 
to  betray  me  to  mine  enemies,  seeing  there  is  no  ||  wrong  in 
mine  hands,  the  God  of  our  fathers  look  thereon,  and  re- 
buke it. 

18  Then  fthe  spirit  came  upon  •'^A-mas'a-i,  who  was  chief 
of  the  captains,  and  he  said,  Thine  are  we,  Da'vid,  and  on  thy 
side,  thou  son  of  Jes'se  :  peace,  peace  be  unto  thee,  and  peace 
be  to  thine  helpers ;  for  thy  God  helpeth  thee.  Then  Da'vid 
received  them,  and  made  them  captains  of  the  band. 

19  And  there  fell  some  of  Ma-nas'seh  to  Da'vid,  "when  he 
came  with  the  Phi-lis'tines  against  Saul  to  battle ;  but  they 
helped  them  not :  for  the  lords  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  upon  ad- 
visement, sent  him  away,  saying,  *IIe  will  fall  to  his  master 
Saul  fto  the  jeopardy  of  our  heads. 

20  As  he  went  to  Zik'lag,  there  fell  to  him  of  Ma-nas'seh, 
Ad'nah,  and  Joz'a-bad,  and  Je-di'a-el,and  Mi'chael,  and  Joz'- 
a-bad,  and  El'i-hu,  and  Zil'thai,  captains  of  the  thousands 
that  were  of  Ma-nas'seh. 

21  And  they  helped  Da'vid  ||  against  'the  band  of  the 
rovers:  for  they  were  all  mighty  men  of  valour,  and  were 
captains  in  the  host. 

22  For  at  that  time  day  by  day  there  came  to  Da'vid  to 
help  him,  until  it  was  a  great  host,  like  the  host  of  God. 

23  ^And  these  are  the  numbers  of  the  ||  fbands  that  were 
ready  armed  to  the  war,  and  *came  to  Da'vid  to  He'bron,  to 
'turn  the  kingdom  of  Saul  to  him,  ""according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord. 

24  The  children  of  Ju'dah  that  bare,  shield  and  spear  were 
six  thousand  and  eight  hundred,  ready  ||  armed  to  the  war. 

25  Of  the  children  of  Sim'e-on,  mighty  men  of  valour  for 
the  war,  seven  thousand  and  one  hundred. 

26  Of  the  children  of  Le'vi  four  thou.sandand  six  hundred. 

27  And  Je-hoi'a-da  was  the  leader  of  the  Aa'ron-ites,  and 
with  him  were  three  thousand  and  seven  hundred; 

28  And  "Za'dok,  a  young  man  mighty  of  valour,  and  of  his 
father's  house  twenty  and  two  captains. 

29  And  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min,  the  fkindred  of 
Saul,  three  thousand:  for  hitherto  t°the  greatest  part  of  them 
had  kept  the  ward  of  the  house  of  Saul. 

30  And  of  the  children  of  E'phra-im  twenty  thousand  and 
eight  hundred,  mighty  men  of  valour,  ffamous  throughout 
the  house  of  their  fathers. 

31  And  of  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  eighteen  thousand, 
which  were  expressed  by  name,to  come  and  make  Da'vid  king. 

32  And  of  the  children  of  Is'sa-char,  "which  were  men  that 
had  understanding  of  the  times,  to  know  what  Is'ra-el  ought 
to  do ;  the  heads  of  them  were  two  hundred ;  and  all  their 
brethren  were  at  thtsir  commandment. 


8  And  of  the  Grad'ites  there  separated  themselves  unto 

Da'vid  to  the  hold  in  the  wilderness,  mighty  men  of 

valour,  men  trained  for  war,  that  could  handle  shield 

and  spear;  whose  faces  were  like  the  faces  of  lions, 

and  they  were  as  swift  as  the  roes  upon  the  mount 

9ains;  E'zer  the  chief,  O-ba-di'ah  the  second,  E-li'ab  the 

lOthird;  Mish-man'nah  the  fourth,  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  fifth; 

$2 At'tai  the  sixth,  E'li-el  the  seventh;  Jo-ha'nan  the 

13 eighth,  El'za-bad   the  ninth;  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  tenth, 

14  Mach'ban-nai  the  eleventh.  These  of  the  sons  of  Gad 
were  captains  of  the  host:  he  that  was  least  was  'equal 
to    an    hundred,  and   the   greatest    'to   a   thou.sand 

15  These  are  they  that  went  over  Jor'dan  in  the  first 
month,  when  it  had  overflown  all  its  banks;  and 
they  put  to  flight  all  them  of  the  valleys,  both  to- 

16  ward  the  east,  and  toward  the  west.  And  there 
came  of  the  children  of  Ben'ja-min  and  Ju'dah  to  the 

17  hold  unto  Da'vid.  And  Da'vid  went  out  to  meet 
them,  and  answered  and  said  unto  them.  If  j'e  be 
come  peaceably  unto  me  to  help  me,  mine  heart 
shall  be  knit  unto  you :  but  if  ye  be  come  to  betray 
me  to  mine  adversaries,  seeing  there  is  no  ^wrong  in 
mine  hands,  the  God  of  our  fathers  look  thereon, 

18  and  rebuke  it.     Then  the  spirit  ^came  upon  A-mas'a-i 
who  was  chief  of  the  ''thirty,  and  he  said.  Thine  are 
we,  Da'vid,  and  on  thy  side,  thou   son  of  Jes'se 
peace,   peace  be  unto  thee,  and  peace  be  to   thine 
helpers;    for  thy  God  helpeth  thee.     Then    Da'vid 
received  them,  and  made  them  captains  of  the  band. 

19  Of  Ma-nas'seh  also  there  fell  away  some  to  Da'vid, 
when  he  came  with  the  Phi-lis'tines  against  Saul  to 
battle,  but  they  helped  them  not:  for  the  lords  of 
the  Phi-lis'tines  upon  advisement  sent  him  away,  say- 
ing. He  will   fall  away  to  his   master   Saul  to  the 

20jeopardy  of  our  heads.  As  he  went  to  Zik'lag, 
there  fell  to  him  of  Ma-nas'seh,  Ad'nah,  and  Joz'a- 
bad,  and  Je-di'a-el,  and  Mi'chael,  and  Joz'a-bad,  and 
El'i-hu,  and   Zil'le-thai,  captains  of  thousands  that 

21  were  of  Ma-nas'seh.  And  they  helped  Da'vid 
against  'the  band  of  rovers :  for  they  were  all 
mighty   men  of  valour,   and   were  captains   in   the 

22  host.  For  from  day  to  day  there  came  to  Da'vid 
to  help  him,  until  it  was  a  great  host,  like  the  host 
of  God. 

23  And  these  are  the  numbers  of  the  heads  of  them 
that  were  armed  for  war,  which  came  to  Da'vid  to 
He'bron,  to  turn   the  kingdom  of  Saul  to  him,  ac- 

24  cording  to  the  word  of  the  Lord.  The  children  of 
Ju'dah  that  bare  shield  and  spear  were  six  thousand 

25and  eight  hundred,  armed  for  war.     Of  the  children 

of  Sim'e-on,  mighty  men  of  valour  for  the  war,  seven 

26 thousand    and   one    hundred.     Of  the    children  of 

27  Le'vi  four  thousand  and  six  hundred.  And  Je-hoi'a-da 
was  the  leader  of  the  house  of  Aa'ron,  and  with  him 

28  were  three  thousand  and  seven  hundred;  and  Za'dok, 
a  young  man  mighty  of  valour,  and  of  his  father's 

29  house  twenty  and  two  captains.  And  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ben'ja-min,  the  brethren  of  Saul,  three 
thousand  :  for  hitherto  the  greatest  part  of  them  had 

30 'kept  their  allegiance  to  the  house  of  Saul.  And 
of  the  children  of  E'phra-im  twenty  thousand  and 
eight  hundred,   mighty  men  of  valour,  famous  men 

31  in  their  fathers'  houses.  And  of  the  half  tribe  of 
Ma-nas'seh  eighteen  thousand,  which  were  expressed 

32  by  name,  to  come  and  make  Da'vid  king.  And 
of  the  children  of  Is'sa-char,  men  that  had  under- 
standing of  the  times,  to  know  what  Is'ra-el  ought 
to  do ;  the  heads  of  them  were  two  hundred ; 
and  all  their  brethren  were  at  their  commandment.

34  And  of  Naph'ta-li  a  thousand  captains,  and  with  them 
with  shield  and  .spear  thirty  and  seven  thousand. 

35  And  of  the  Dan'ites  expert  in  war  twenty  and  eight 
thousand  and  six  hundred. 

36  And  of  Ash'er,  such  as  went  forth  to  battle,  ||  expert  in

37  And  on  the  other  side  of  Jor'dan,  of  the  Reu'ben-ites, 
and  the  Gad'ites,  and  of  the  half  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh,  with  all 
manner  of  instruments  of  war  for  the  battle,  a  hundred  and 
twenty  thousand. 

38  All  these  men  of  war,  that  could  keep  rank,  came  with 
a  perfect  heart  to  He'bron,  to  make  Da'vid  king  over  all 
Is'ra-el ;  and  all  the  rest  also  of  Is'ra-el  were  of  one  heart  to 
make  Da'vid  king. 

39  And  there  they  were  with  Da'vid  three  days,  eating  and 
drinking :  for  their  brethren  had  prepared  for  them. 

40  Moreover  they  that  were  nigh  them,  even  unto  Is'sa- 
char  and  Zeb'u-lun  and  Naph'ta-li,  brought  bread  on 
asses,  and  on  cameLs,  and  on  mules,  and  on  oxen,  and 
II  meat,  meal,  cakes  of  figs,  and  bunches  of  raisins,  and 
wine,  and  oil,  and  oxen,  and  sheep  abundantly:  for  there 
was  joy  in  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

David fetcheth  the  ark/rom  Kirjath-jearim. 

AND   Da'vid   consulted  with  the  captains  of  thousands 
and  hundreds,  and  with  every  leader. 

2  And  Da'vid  said  unto  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  If 
it  seem  good  unto  you,  and  that  it  be  of  the  Lord  our  God, 
flet  us  send  abroad  unto  our  brethren  every  where,  that  are 
"left  in  all  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  and  with  them  also  to  the  priests 
and  Le'vites  which  are  fin  their  cities  and  suburbs,  that 
they  may  gather  themselves  unto  us : 

3  And  let  us  fbring  again  the  ark  of  our  God  to  us :  ''for 
we  inquired  not  at  it  in  the  days  of  Saul. 

4  And  all  the  congregation  said  that  they  would  do  so  : 
for  the  thing  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  all  the  people. 

5  So  "Da'vid  gathered  all  Is'ra-el  together,  from  ''Shi'hor  of 
E'^pt  even  unto  the  entering  of  He' math,  to  bring  the  ark 
of  God  ''from  Kir'jath-je'a-rim. 

6  And  Da'vid  went  up,  and  all  Is'ra-el,  to-'^Ba'a-lah,  that  is  to 
Kir'jath-je'a-rim,  which  belonffed  to  Ju'dah,  to  bring  up  thence 
the  ark  of  God  the  Lord,  "that  dwelleth  between  the  cheru- 
bim, whose  name  is  called  on  it. 

7  And  they  fcarried  the  ark  of  God  *in  a  new  cart  'out 
of  the  houseof  A-bin'a-dab:  andUz'zaandA-hi'o  dravethecart. 

8  *And  Da'vid  and  all  I.s'ra-el  played  before  God  with  all 
their  might,  and  with  fsinging,  and  with  harps,  and  with 
psalteries,  and  with  timbrels,  and  with  cymbals,  and  with 
trumpets. 

9  %And  when  they  came  unto  the  threshing  floor  of 
II  Chi'don,  Uz'za  put  forth  his  hand  to  hold  the  ark ;  for  the 
oxen  fstumbled. 

10  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Uz'za, 
and  he  smote  him  'because  he  put  his  hand  to  the  ark ;  and 
there  he  ""died  before  God. 

11  And  Da'vid  was  displea.sed  because  the  Lord  had  made 
a  breach  upon  Uz'za .  .  lerefore  that  place  is  called  ||  Pe-rez- 
uz'za  to  this  day. 

12  And  Da'vid  was  afraid  of  God  that  day,  saying.  How 
shall  I  bring  the  ark  of  God  home  to  me? 

13  So  Da'vid  fbrought  not  the  ark  home  to  himself  to  the 
city  of  Da'vid,  but  carried  it  aside  into  the  house  of  O-bed- 
e'dom  the  Git'tite. 

14  "And  the  ark  of  God  remained  with  the  &mily  of  O-bed- 
e'dom  ia  his  house  three  months.  And  the  Lord  blessed 
*the  house  of  O-bed-e'dom,  and  all  that  he  had. 


33  Of  Zeb'u-lun,  such  as  were  able  to  go  out  in  the  host, 
that  could  set  the  battle  in  array,  with  all  manner  of 
instruments  of  war,  fifty  thousand ;  and  that  could 
order  the  battle  array,  and  were  not  of  double  heart. 

34  And  of  Naph'ta-li  a  thousand  captains,  and  with  them 
with  shield  a_d   spear  thirty  and   seven  thousand. 

35  And  of  the  Dan'ites  that  could  set  the  battle  in 
array,  twenty  and  eight  thousand  and  six  hundred. 

36  And  of  Ash'er,  such  as  were  able  to  go  out  in  the 
host,  that  could  set  the  battle  in  array,  forty  thou- 

37  sand.  And  on  the  other  side  of  Jor'dan,  of  the  Reu'- 
ben-ites, and  the  Gad'ites,  and  of  the  half  tribe  of 
Ma-nas'seh,  with  all  manner  of  instruments  of  war 

38  for  the  battle,  an  hundred  and  twenty  thousand.  All 
these,  being  men  of  war,  that  could  order  the  battle 
array,  came  with  a  perfect  heart  to  He'bron,  to 
make  Da'vid  king  over  all  Is'ra-el :  and  all  the  rest 
also  of  Is'ra-el  were  of  one  heart  to   make  Da'vid 

39  king.  And  they  were  there  with  Da'vid  three  days, 
eating  and  drinking:  for  their  brethren  had  made 

40  preparation  for  them.  Moreover  they  that  were 
nigh  unto  them,  e«em  as  far  as  Is'sa-char  and  Zeb'u-lun 
and  N*ph'ta-li,  brought  bread  on  asses,  and  on 
camels,  and  on  mules,  and  on  oxen,  victual  of  meal, 
cakes  of  figs,  and  clusters  of  raisins,  and  wine,  and 
oil,  and  oxen,  and  sheep  in  abundance:  for  there 
was  joy  in  Is'ra-el. 

+^  And  Da'vid  con.sulted  with  the  captains  of  thou- 
sands  and    of  hundreds,    even    with   every   leader 

2  And  Da'vid  said  unto  all  the  assembly  of  Is'ra-el,  If 
it  seem  good  unto  you,  and  if  it  be  of  the  Lord 
our  God,  let  us  send  abroad  every  where  unto  our 
brethren  that  are  left  in  all  the  'land  of  Is'ra-el,  ^with 
whom  the  priests  and  Levites  are  in  their  cities  that 
have  'suburbs,  that  they  may  gather  themselves  unto 

3 us:  and  let  us  bring  again  the  ark  of  our  God  to 
us :  for  we  sought  not  unto  it  in  the  days  of  Saul 

4  And  all  the  assembly  said  that  they  would  do  so 
for  the  thing  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  all  the  people. 

5  *So  Da'vid  assembledall  Is'ra-el  together,  from  Shi'hor 
the  brook  of  E'gypt  even  unto  the  entering  in  of  Ha'- 
math,  to  bring  the  ark  of  God  from  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim. 

6  And  Da'vid  went  up,  and  all  Is'ra-el,  to  Ba'a-lah,  that 
w,  to  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim,  which  belonged  to  Ju'dah,  to 
bring  up  from  thence  the  ark  of  God,  the  Lord  that 
^sitteth  upon  the  cherubim,  'which  is  called  by  the 

7  Name.  And  they  carried  the  ark  of  God  upon  a 
new  cart,  and- brought  it  out  of  the  house  of  A-bin'a 

8 dab:  and  Uz'za  and  A-hi'o  drave  the  cart.  And 
Da'vid  and  all  Is'ra-el  played  before  God  with  all  their 
might:  even  with  songs,  and  with  harps,  and  with 
psalteries,  and  with  timbrels,  and  with  cymbals,  and 
9  with  trumpets.  And  when  they  came  unto  the 
threshing-floor  of  Chi'don,  Uz'za  put  forth  his  hand 

10 to  hold  the  ark;  for  the  oxen  ^stumbled.  And  the 
anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against  Uz'za,  and 
he  smote  him,  because  he  put  forth  his  hand  to  the 

Hark:  and  there  he  died  before  God.  And  Da'vid 
was  displeased,  because  the  Lord  had  broken  forth 
upon  Uz'za :  and  he  called  that  place  'Pe-rez-uz'za, 

12  unto  this  day.  And  Da'vid  was  afraid  of  God  that 
day,  saying.  How   shall    I    bring   the   ark    of  God 

13 home  to  me?  So  Da'vid  removed  not  the  ark  unto 
him  into  the  city  of  Da'vid,  but  carried  it  aside  into 

14  the  house  of  O-bed-e'dom  the  Git'tite.  And  the  ark 
of  God  remained  with  the  family  of  O-bed-e'dom  in 
his  house  three  months:  and  the  Lord  blessed  the 
house  of  O-bed-e'dom,  and  all  that  he  had.

CHAPTER    XIV. 

Hiram's  kindness  to  David—His  felicity- 

NOW  "Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre  sent  messengers  to  Da'vid, 
and  timber  of  cedars,  with  masons  and  carpenters,  to 
build  him  a  house. 

2  And  Da'vid  perceived  that  the  Loed  had  confirmed  him 
king  over  Is'ra-el,  for  his  kingdom  was  lifted  up  on  high, 
because  of  his  people  Is'ra-el. 

3  ^And  Da'vid  took  fmore  wives  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and 
Da'vid  begat  more  sons  and  daughters. 

4  Now  'these  are  the  names  of  his  children  which  he  had  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem';  Sham'mu-a,  and  Sho'bab,Na'than,  and  Sol'o-mon, 

5  And  Ib'har,  and  E-lish'u-a,  and  El'pa-let, 

6  And  No'gah,  and  Ne'pheg,  and  Ja-phi'a, 

7  And  E-lish'a-ma,  and  ||Be-el-i'a-da,  and  E-liph'a-let. 

8  ^Aiid  when  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  that  ''Da'vid  was 
anointed  king  over  all  Is'ra-el,  all  the  Phi-lis'tines  went 
up  to  seek  Da'vid.  And  Da'vid  heard  of  it,  and  went  out 
against  them. 

9  And  the  Phi-lis'tines  came  and  spread  themselves  ''in  the 
valley  of  Reph'a-im. 

10  And  Da'vid  inquired  of  God,  saying.  Shall  I  go  up 
against  the  Phi-lis'tines?  and  wilt  thou  deliver  them  into 
mine  hand?  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Go  up;  for  I 
will  deliver  them  into  thine  hand. 

1 1  So  they  came  up  to  Ba'al-per'a-zim ;  and  Da'vid  smote 
them  there.  Then  Da'vid  said,  God  hath  broken  in  upon 
mine  enemies  by  mine  hand  like  the  breaking  forth  of  waters : 
therefore  they  called  the  name  of  that  place  ||  Ba'al-per'a-zim. 

12  And  when  they  had  left  their  gods  there,  Da'vid  gave 
a  commandment,  and  they  were  burned  with  fire. 

13  'And  the  Phi-lis'tines  yet  again  spread  themselves 
abroad  in  the  valley. 

14  Therefore  Da'vid  inquired  again  of  God ;  and  God  said 
unto  him.  Go  not  up  after  them;  turn  away  from  them,  -'and 
come  upon  them  over  against  the  mulberry  trees. 

15  And  it  shall  be,  when  thou  shalt  hear  a  sound  of  going 
in  the  tops  of  the  mulberry  trees,  thai  then  thou  shalt  go 
out  to  battle :  for  God  is  gone  forth  before  thee  to  smite  the 
host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

16  Da'vid  therefore  did  as  God  commanded  him :  and  they 
smote  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  from  "Gib'e-on  even  to  Ga'zer. 

17  And  *the  fame  of  Da'vid  went  out  into  all  lands;  and 
the  LoBB  *brought  the  fear  of  him  upon  all  nations. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

David  bringeth  the  ark  from  Obed-edom  with  great  ioy. 

AND  Da'vid  made  him  houses  in  the  city  of  Da'vid,  and  pre- 
pared a  place  for  the  ark  of  God,  "and  pitched  for  it  a  tent. 

2  Then  Da  vid  said,  fNone  ought  to  carry  the  ""ark  of  God 
but  the  Le'vites :  for  them  hath  the  Lord  chosen  to  carry 
the  ark  of  God,  and  to  minister  unto  him  for  ever. 

3  And  Da'vid  "gathered  all  Is'ra-el  together  to  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  to  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord  unto  his  place,  which 
he  had  prepared  for  it. 

4  And  Da'vid  assembled  the  children  of  Aa'ron,  and  the 
Le'vites : 

5  Of  the  sons  of  Ko'hath;  U'ri-el  the  chief,  and  his 
II  brethren  a  hundred  and  twenty: 

6  O'  the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri ;  A-sa-i'ah  the  chief,  and  his 
(brethren  two  hundred  and  twenty: 

I  7  Of  the  sons  of  Ger'shom ;  Jo'el  the  chief,  and  his  breth- 
ren a  hundred  and  thirty: 

8  Of  the  sons  of ''E-liz'a-phan;  Shem-a-i'ah  the  chief,  and 
his  brethren  two  h.  ..dred  : 

9  Of  the  sons  of  "He'bron;  E'li-el  the  chief,  and  his 
brethren  fourscore : 

10  Of  the  sons  of  Uz'zi-el ;  Am-min'a-dab  the  chief,  and 
his  brethren  a  hundred  and  twelve. 

11  And  Da' vid  called  for  Za'dok  and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priests. 


J-^  'And  Hi'ram  king  of  Tyre  sent  messengers  to 
Da'vid,  and  cedar  trees,  and  masons,  and  carpenters, 

2  to  build  him  an  house.  And  Da'vid  perceived  that 
the  Lord  had  established  him  king  over  Is'ra-el,  for 
his  kingdom  was  exalted  on  high,  for  his  people 
Is'ra-el's  sake. 

3  And  Da'vid  took  more  wives  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and 

4  Da'vid  begat  more  sons  and  daughters.  And  these 
are  the  names  of  the  children  which  he  had  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem ;  Sham'mu-a,  and  Sho'bab,  Na'than,  and  Sol'- 

5o-mon;  and  Ib'har,  and  E-lish'u-a,  and  El'pe-let; 
?and  No'gah,  and  Ne'pheg,  and  Ja-phi'a;  and  E-lish'- 
a-ma, and  Be-el-i'a-da,  and  E-liph'e-let. 

8  And  when  the  Phi-lis'tines  heard  that  Da'vid  was 
anointed  king  over  all  Is'ra-el,  all  the  Phi-lis'tines 
went  up  to  seek  Da'vid :  and  Da'vid  heard  of  it,  and  went 

9  out  ^against  them.     Now  the  Phi-lis'tines  had  come 

10  and  made  a  raid  in  the  valley  of  Reph'a-im,  And 
Da'vid  inquired  of  God,  saying.  Shall  I  go  up 
against  the  Phi-lis'tines?  and  wilt  thou  deliver  them 
into  mine  hand  ?     And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Go 

Hup;  for  I  will  deliver  them  into  thine  hand.  So 
they  came  up  to  Ba'al-per'a-zim,  and  Da'vid  smote 
them  there ;  and  Da'vid  said,  God  hath  ^broken  mine 
enemies  by  mine  iiand,  like  the  breach  of  waters. 
Therefore  they  called  the  name  of  that  place  ^Ba'al- 

12  per'a-zim.  And  they  left  their  gods  there;  and 
Da'vid  gave  commandment,  and  they  were  burned 

13  with  fire.     And  the  Phi-lis'tines  yet  again  made  a 

14  raid  in  the  valley.  And  Da'vid  inquired  again  of 
God ;  and  God  said  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  go  up 
after  them :  turn  away  from  them,  and  come  upon 

15  them  over  against  the  'mulberry  trees.  And  it  shall 
be,  when  thou  hearest  the  sound  of  marching  in  the 
tops  of  the  mulberry  trees,  that  then  thou  shalt  go 
out  to  battle :  for  God  is  gone  out  before  thee  to 

16  smite  the  host  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  Da'vid  did 
as  God  commanded  him:  and  they  smote  the  host 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines  from  *Gib'e-on  even  to    Ge'zer. 

17  And  the  fame  of  Da'vid  went  out  into  all  lands; 
and  the  Lord  brought  the  fear  of  him  upon  all 
nations. 

iO  And  Da'vid  made  him  houses  in  the  city  of 
Da'vid ;  and  he  prepared  a  place  for  the  ark  of  God, 

2  and  pitched  for  it  a  tent.  Then  Da'vid  said.  None 
ought  to  carry  the  ark  of  God  but  the  Le'vites :  for 
them  hath  the  Lord  chosen  to  carry  the   ark   of 

3  God,  and  to  minister  unto  him  for  ever.  And  Da'vid 
assembled  all  Is'ra-el  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  bring  up 
the  ark  of  the  Lord  unto  its  place,  which  he  had 

4  prepared  for  it.     And  Da'vid  gathered  together  the 

5  sons  of  Aa'ron,  and  the  Le'vites:  of  the  sons  of  Ko' 
hath;  U'ri-el  the  chief  and  his  brethren  an  hundred 

6  and  twenty:  ofthe  sons  of  Mer'a-ri;  A-sa-i'ah  the  chief, 

7  and  his  brethren  two  hundred  and  twenty :  of  the 
sons  of  Ger'shom ;  Jo'el  the  chief,  and  his  brethren 

8  an  hundred  and  thirty :  of  the  sons  of  E-liz'a-phan ; 

9  Shem-a-i'ah  the  chief,and  his  brethren  two  hundred:  of 
the  sons  of  He'bron;  E'li-el  the  chief,  and  his  brethren 

lOfourscore:  ofthe  sons  of  Uz'zi-el;  Am-min'a-dab  the 

11  chief,  and  his  brethren  an  hundred  and  twelve.  And 
Da'vid  called  for  Za'dok  and  A-bi'a-thar  the  priests.

and  for  the  Le'vites,  for  U'ri-el,  As-a-i'ah,  and  Jo'el,  Shem- 
a-i'ah,  and  E'li-el,  and  Am-min'a-dab, 

12  And  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of 
the  Le'vites :  sanctify  yourselves,  both  ye  and  your  brethren, 
that  ye  may  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el 
unto  the  place  that  I  have  prepared  for  it.  * 

13  For -^because  ye  did  it  not  at  the  first,  'the  Lord  our 
God  made  a  breach  upon  us,  for  that  we  sought  him  not 
after  the  due  order. 

14  So  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  sanctified  themselves  to 
bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

15  And  the  children  of  the  Le'vites  bare  the  ark  of  God 
upon  their  shoulders  with  the  staves  thereon,  as  ''Mo'ses 
commanded,  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  Da'vid  spake  to  the  chief  of  the  Le'vites  to  appoint 
their  brethren  to  be  the  singers  with  instruments  of  music, 
psalteries  and  harps  and  cymbals,  sounding,  by  lifting  up 
the  voice  with  joy. 

17  So  the  Le'vites  appointed  'He'man  the  son  of  Jo'el ;  and 
of  his  brethren, 'A'sapn  the  son  of  Ber-e-chi'ah;  and  of  the  sons 
of  Mer'a-ri  their  brethren,  'E'than  the  son  of  Kush-a'iah ; 

18  And  with  them  their  brethren  of  the  second  degree, 
Zech-a-ri'ah,  Ben  and  Ja-a'zi-el,  and  She-mir'a-moth,  and 
Je-hi'el,  and  Un'ni,  E-li'ab,  and  Be-na'iah,  and  Ma-a-se'iah, 
and  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  and  E-liph'e-leh,  and  Mik-ne'iah,  and 
O'bed-e'dom,  and  Je-i'el,  the  porters. 

19  So  the  singers,  He'man,  A'saph,  and  E'than,  were  ap- 
pointed to  sound  with  cymbals  of  brass ; 

20  And  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  ||  A'zi-el,  and  She-mir'a-moth, 
and  Je-hi'el,  and  Un'ni,  and  E-li'ab,  and  Ma-a-se'iah,  and 
Be-na'iah,  with  psalteries  ""on  Al'a-moth ; 

21  And  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  and  E-liph'e-leh,  and  Mik-ne'iah, 
and  O'bed-e'dom,  and  Je-i'el,  and  Az-a-zi'ah,  with  harps 
II  on  the  Shem'i-nith  to  excel. 

22  And  Che-na-ni'ah,  chief  of  the  Le'vites  Utocw  for  fsong: 
he  instructed  about  the  song,  because  he  vjos  skilful. 

23  And  Ber-e-chi'ah  and  El'ka-nah  were  doorkeepers  for 
the  ark. 

24  And  Sheb-a-ni'ah  and  Je-hosh'a-phat,  and  Ne-than'e-el, 
and  A-mas'a-i,  and  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  Be-na'iah,  and  E-li- 
e'zer,  the  priests,  "did  blow  with  the  trumpets,  before  the  ark 
of  God :  and  O'bed-e'dom  and  Je-hi'ah  were  doorkeepers  for 
the  ark. 

25  •n^So  "Da'vid  and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  captains 
over  thousands,  went  to  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  out  of  the  house  of  O'bed-e'dom  with  joy. 

26  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  God  helped  the  Le'vites  that 
bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  that  they  offered 
seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams. 

27  And  Da'vid  was  clothed  with  a  robe  of  fine  linen,  and 
all  the  Le'vites  that  bare  the  ark,  and  the  singers,  and  Che- 
na-ni'ah  the  master  of  the  Hsong  with  the  singers:  Da'vid 
also  had  upon  him  an  ephod  of  linen. 

28  "Thus  all  Is'ra-el  brought  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  with  shouting,  and  with  sound  of  the  cornet,  and 
with  •  trumpets,  and  with  cymbals,  making  a  noise  with 
psalteries  and  harps. 

29  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  "as  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  came  to  the  city  of  Da'vid,  that  Mi'chal  the 
daughter  of  Saul  looking  out  at  a  window  saw  king  Da'vid 
dancing  and  playing :  and  she  despised  him  in  her  heart. 

CHAPTER    XVI. 

David's  festival  sacrifice— His  psalm  of  thanksgiving. 

SO  "they  brought  the  ark  of  God,  and  set  it  in  the  midst 
of  the  tent  that  Da'vid  had  pitched  for  it :  and  they  of- 
fered burnt  sacrifices  and  peace  offerings  before  God. 

2  And  when  Da'vid  had  made  an  end  of  offering  the  burnt 
offerings  and  the  peace  offerings,  he  blessed  the  people  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 


and  for  the  Le'vites,  for  U'ri-el,  As-a-i'ah,  and  Jo'el, 
12Shem-a-i'ah,  and  E'li-el,  and  Am-min'a-dab,  and  said 
unto  them.  Ye  are  the  heads  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  the 
Le'vites:  sanctify  yourselves,  both  ye  and  your  breth- 
ren, that  ye  may  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  the  place  that  I  have  prepared 

13  for  it.  For  because  ye  bare  it  not  at  the  first,  the 
Lord  our  God  made  a  breach  upon  us,  for  that  we 

14  sought  him  not  according  to  the  ordinance.  So  the 
priests  and  the  Le'vites  sanctified  themselves  to  bring 

1 5  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the 
children  of  the  Le'vites  bare  the  ark  of  God  upon 
their  shoulders  with  the  staves  thereon,  as  Mo  ses 
commanded   according    to    the  word  of  the  LoED, 

16  And  Da'vid  spake  to  the  chief  of  the  Le'vites  to  ap- 
point their  brethren  the  singers,  with  instruments  of 
music,  psalteries  and  harps  and  cymbals,  sounding 

17  aloud  and  lifting  up  the  voice  with  joy.  So  the 
Le'vites  appointed  He'man  the  son  of  Jo'el ;  and  of 
his  brethren,  A'saph  the  son  of  Ber-e-chi'ah ;  and  of 
the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri  their  brethren,  E'than  the  son  of 

18  Kush-a'iah ;  and  with  them  their  brethren  of  the  sec- 
ond degree,  Zech-a-ri'ah,  Ben,  and  Ja-a'zi-el,  and  She- 
mir'a-moth,  and  Je-hi'el,  and  Un'ni,  E-li'ab,  and  Be- 
na'iah,  and  Ma-a-se'iah,  and  Mat-ti-thi'ah,and  E-liph'e- 
le-hu,  and  Mik-ne'iah,  and  O'bed-e'dom,  and  Je-i'el, 

19  the  doorkeepers.  So  the  singers,  He'man,  A'saph, 
and  E'than,  were  appointed,  with  cymbals  of  brass  to 

20  sound  aloud;  and  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  A'zi-el,and  She-mir' 
a-moth,  and  Je-hi'el,  and  Un'ni,and  E-li'ab,and  Ma-a- 
se'iah,  and  Be-na'iah, with  psalteries  set  to  'Al'a-moth ; 

21  and  Mat-ti-thi'ah ,and  E-liph'e-le-hu,andMik-ne'iah,and 
O'bed-e'dom,  and  Je-i'el,  and  Az-a-zi'ah,with  harps  set 

22 to  Hhe  Shem'i-nith,  to  lead.  And  Che-na-ni'ah,  chief 
of  the  Le'vites,  was  over  Hhe  song:  he  instructed  about 

23  Hhe  song,  because  he  was  skilful.     And  Ber-e-chi'ah 

24  and  El'ka-nah  were  doorkeepers  for  the  ark.  And 
Sheb-a-Tii'ah,  and  Josh'a-phat,  and  Neth'a-nel,  and 
A-mas'a-i,  and  Zech-a-ri'ah ,  and  Be-na'iah,and  E-li-e'zer, 
the  priests,  did  blow  with  the  trumpets  before  the  ark 
of  God :  and  O'bed-e'dom  and  Je-hi'ah  were  door- 

25  keepers  for  the  ark.  *So  Da'vid  and  the  elders  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  the  captains  over  thousands,  went  to 
bring  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  out 

26  of  the  house  of  O'bed-e'dom  with  joy :  and  it  came 
to  pass,  when  God  helped  the  Le'vites  that  bare  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  that  they  saeri- 

27  ficed  seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams.  And  Da'vid 
was  clothed  with  a  robe  of  fine  linen,  and  all  the 
Le'vites  that  bare  the  ark,  and  the  singers,  and  Che- 
na-ni'ah  the   master  of  Hhe  song  with  the  singers : 

28  and  Da'vid  had  upon  him  an  ephod  of  linen.  Thus 
all  Is'ra-el  brought  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant  ?f  the 
Lord  with  shouting,  and  with  sound  of  the  cornet, 
and    with   trumpets,   and    with    cymbals,   sounding 

29  aloud  with  psalteries  and  harps.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  came 
to  the  city  of  Da'vid,  that  Mi'chal  the  daughter  of 
Saul  looked  out  at  the  window,  and  saw  king  Da'vid 

-J  A  dancing  and  playing;  and  she  despised  him  in  her 
-1-0  heart.  And  they  brought  in  the  ark  of  God,  and 
set  it  in  the  midst  of  the  tent  that  Da'vid  had  pitched 
for  it :  and  they  offered  burnt  offerings  and  peace  of- 
2  ferings  before  God.  And  when  Da'vid  had  made  an 
end  of  offering  the  burnt  offering  and  the  peace  offer- 
ings, he  blessed  the  people  in  the  name  of  the  Lord

3  And  he  dealt  to  every  one  of  Is'ra-el,  both  man  and  wo- 
man, to  every  one  a  loaf  of  bread,  and  a  good  piece  of 
flesh,  and  a  flagon  of  wine. 

4  ^And  he  appointed  certain  of  the  Le'vites  to  minister 
before  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  to  'record,  and  to  thank 
and  praise  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el : 

5  A'saph  the  chief,  and  next  to  him  Zeoh-a-ri'ah,  Je-i'el, 
and  She-rair'a-moth,  and  Je-hi'el,  and  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  and 
E-li'ab,  and  Be-na'iah,  and  O'bed-e'dom:  and  Je-i'el  fwith 
psalteries  and  with  harps;  but  A'saph  made  a  sound  with 
cymbals ; 

6  Be-na'iah  also  and  Ja-ha'zi-el  the  priests  with  trumpets 
continually  before  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  God. 

7  ^Tben  on  that  day  Da'vid  delivered  ''first  this  psalm 
to  thank  the  LoED  into  the  hand  of  A'saph  and  his 
brethren. 

8  ''Give  thanks  unto  the  Lord,  call  upon  his  name,  make 
known  his  deeds  among  the  people. 

9  Sing  unto  him,  sing  psalms  unto  him,  talk  ye  of  all  his 
wondrous  works. 

10  Glory  ye  in  his  holy  name :  let  the  heart  of  them  re- 
joice that  seek  the  Lord. 

11  Seek  the  Lord  and  his  strength,  seek  his  face  con- 
tinually. 

12  Remember  his  marvellous  works  that  he  hath  done,  his 
wonders,  and  the  judgments  of  his  mouth; 

13  O  ye  seed  of  Is'ra-el  his  servant,  ye  children  of  Ja'cob, 
his  chosen  ones. 

14  He  is  the  Lord  our  God;  his  judgments  are  in  all  the 
earth. 

15  Be  ye  mindful  always  of  his  covenant;  the  word  which 
he  commanded  to  a  thousand  generations; 

16  Even  of  the  'covenant  which  he  made  with  A'bra-ham, 
and  of  his  oath  unto  I'saac ; 

17  And  hath  confirmed  the  same  to  Ja'cob  for  a  law,  and 
to  Is'ra-el  for  an  everlasting  covenant, 

18  Saying,  Unto  thee  will  I  give  the  land  of  Ca'naan,  fthe 
lot  of  your  inheritance ; 

19  When  ye  were  but  ffew,  /even  a  few,  and  strangers 
in  it. 

20  And  when  they  went  from  nation  to  nation,  and  from 
one  kingdom  to  another  people; 

21  He  sufiered  no  man  to  do  them  wrong:  yea,  he  "re- 
proved kings  for  their  sakes, 

22  Saying,  *Touch  not  mine  anointed,  and  do  my  prophets 
no  harm. 

23  'Sing  unto  the  Lord,  all  the  earth;  shew  forth  from 
day  to  day  his  salvation. 

24  Declare  his  glory  among  the  heathen;  his  marvellous 
works  among  all  nations. 

25  For  great  is  the  Lord,  and  greatly  to  be  praised :  he 
also  is  to  be  feared  above  all  gods. 

26  For  all  the  gods  *of  the  people  are  idols :  but  the  Lord 
made  the  heavens. 

27  Glory  and  honour  are  in  his  presence;  strength  and 
gladness  are  in  his  place. 

28  Give  unto  the  Lord,  ye  kindreds  of  the  people,  give 
unto  the  Lord  glory  and  strength. 

29  Give  unto  the  Lord  the  glory  due  unto  his  name :  bring 
an  offering,  and  come  before  him :  worship  the  Lord  in  the 
beauty  of  holiness. 

30  Fear  before  him,  all  the  earth :  the  world  also  shall  be 
stable,  that  it  be  not  moved. 

31  Let  the  heavens  be  glad,  and  let  the  earth  rejoice :  and 
let  mew  say  among  the  nations,  The  Lord  reigneth. 

32  Let  the  sea  roar,  and  the  fulness  thereof:  let  the  fields 
rgoice,  and  all  that  is  therein. 


3  And  he  dealt  to  every  one  of  Is'ra-el,  both  man  and 
woman,  to  every  one  a  loaf  of  bread,  and  a  portion 
^ of  flesh,  and  a  cake  of  raisins. 

4  And  he  appointed  certain  of  the  Le'vites  to  min- 
ister before  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  and  to  celebrate 
and  to  thank  and  praise  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'- 

5  ra-el :  A'saph  the  chief,  and  second  to  him  Zech-a-ri'ah, 
^Je-i'el,  and  She-mir'a-moth,  and  Je-hi'el,  and  Mat-ti- 
thi'ah,  and  E-li'ab,  and  Be-na'iah,  and  O'bed-e'dom, 
and  Je-i'el,  with  psalteries   and   with   harps;    and 

6  A'saph  with  cymbals,  sounding  aloud ;  and  Be-na'iah 
and  Ja-ha'zi-el  the  priests  with  trumpets  continually, 
before  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  God. 

7  Then  on  that  day  did  Da'vid  ^first  ordain  to  give 
thanks  unto  the  Lord,  by  the  hand  of  A'saph  and 
his  brethren. 

8  ^O  give  thanks  unto  the  Lord,  call  upon  his  name ; 
Make  known  his  doings  among  the  peoples. 

9  Sing  unto  him,  sing  praises  unto  him; 
'^Talk  ye  of  all  his  marvellous  works. 

10  Glory  ye  in  his  holy  name: 

Let  the  heart  of  them  rejoice  that  seek  the  Lord. 

11  Seek  ye  the  Lord  and  his  strength ; 
Seek  his  face  evermore. 

12  Remember  his  marvellous  works  that  he  hath  done ; 
His  wonders,  and  the  judgements  of  his  mouth; 

13  O  ye  seed  of  Is'ra-el  his  servant. 

Ye  children  of  Ja'cob,  his  chosen  ones. 

14  He  is  the  Lord  our  God : 

His  judgements  are  in  all  the  earth. 

15  Remember  his  covenant  for  ever. 

The   word   which    he   commanded  to  a   thousand 
generations ; 

16  The  covenant  which  he  made  with  A'bra-ham, 
And  his  oath  unto  I'saac; 

17  And  confirmed  the  same  unto  Ja'cob  for  a  statute. 
To  Is'ra-el  for  an  everlasting  covenant : 

18  Saying,  Unto  thee  will  I  give  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
The  "lot  of  your  inheritance: 

19  When  ye  were  but  a  few  men  in  number; 
Yea,  very  few,  and  sojourners  in  it; 

20  And  they  went  about  from  nation  to  nation. 
And  from  one  kingdom  to  another  people. 

21  He  suffered  no  man  to  do  them  wrong ; 
Yea,  he  reproved  kings  for  their  sakes ; 

22  Saying,  Touch  not  mine  anointed  ones. 
And  do  my  prophets  no  harm. 

23  'Sing  unto  the  Lord,  all  the  earth ; 
3hew  forth  his  salvation  from  day  to  day. 

24  Declare  his  glory  among  the  nations. 

His  marvellous  works  among  all  the  peoples. 

25  For  great  is  the  Lord,  and  highly  to  be  praised; 
He  also  is  to  be  feared  above  all  gods. 

26  For  all  the  gods  of  the  peoples  are  'idols: 
But  the  Lord  made  the  heavens.- 

27  Honour  and  majesty  are  before  him : 
Strength  and  gladness  are  in  his  place. 

28  Give  unto  the  Lord,  ye  kindreds  of  the  peoples, 
Give  unto  the  Lord  glory  and  strength. 

29  Give  unto  the  Lord  the  glory  due  unto  his  name : 
Bring  an  offering,  and  come  before  him: 
Worship  the  Lord  'in  the  beauty  of  holiness. 

30  Tremble  before  him,  all  the  earth  : 

The  world  also  is  stablished  that  it  cannot  be  moved. 

31  Let  the  heavens  be  glad,  and  let  the  earth  rejoice ; 
And  let  them  say  among  the  nations.  The  Lord 

reigneth. 

32  Let  the  sea  roar,  and  the  fulness  thereof; 
Let  the  field  exult,  and  all  that  is  therein;

presence  of  the  Loed,  because  he  cometh  to  judge  the 
earth. 

34  'O  give  thanks  unto  the  Lord;  for  he  is  good;  for  his 
mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

35  ""And  say  ye,  Save  us,  O  God  of  our  salvation,  and

Lord  A'saph  and  his  brethren,  to  minister  before  the  ark 
continually,  as  every  day's  work  required : 

38  And  O'bed-e'dora  with  their  brethren,  threescore  and 
eight;  O'bed-e'dom  also  the  son  of  Jed'u-thun  and  Ho'sah

"before  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord  «in  the  high  place  that 
was  at  Gib'e-on,

and  cymbals  for  those  that  should  make  a  sound,  and  with 
musical  instruments  of  God.  And  the  sons  of  Jed'u-thun 
were  fporters. 

43  'And  all  the  people  departed  every  man  to  his  house : 
and  Da'vid  returned  to  bless  his  house. 

CHAPTKR  XVII. 

Nathan  promiseth  David  a  blessing — David's  prayer, 

"VrOW  "it  came  to  pass,  as  Da'vid  sat  in  his  house,  that 
-L '  Da'vid  said  to  Na'than  the  prophet,  Lo,  I  dwell  in  a  house 
of  cedars,  but  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  remaineth 
under  curtains. 

2  Then  Nathan  said  unto  Da'vid,  Do  all  that  is  in  thine 
heart;  for  God  is  with  thee. 

3  ^And  it  came  to  pass  the  same  night,  that  the  word  of 
God  came  to  Na'than,  saying, 

4  Go  and  tell  Da'vid  my  servant.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Thou  shalt  not  build  me  a  house  to  dwell  in : 

5  For  I  have  not  dwelt  in  a  house  since  the  day  that  I 
brought  up  Is'ra-el  unto  this  day ;  but  fhave  gone  from  tent 
to  tent,  and  from  one  tabernacle  to  another. 

6  Wheresoever  I  have  walked  with  all  Is'ra-el,  spake  I  a 
word  to  any  of  the  judgis  of  Is'ra-el,  whom  I  commanded  to 
feed  my  people,  saying.  Why  have  ye  not  built  me  a  house 
of  cedars? 

7  Now  therefore  thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  my  servant 
Da'vid,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I  took  thee  from  the 
sheepcote,  even  ffrom  following  the  sheep,  that  thou  should- 
est  be  ruler  over  my  people  Is'ra-el : 

8  And  I  have  been  with  thee  whithersoever  thou  hast  walked, 
and  have  cut  off  all  thine  enemies  from  before  thee,  and  have 
made  thee  a  name  like  the  name  of  the  great  men  that  are 
in  the  earth. 

9  Also  I  will  ordain  a  place  for  my  people  Is'ra-el,  and  will 
plant  them,  and  they  shall  dwell  in  their  place,  and  shall  be 
moved  no  more;  neither  shall  the  children  of  wickedness 
wa.ste  them  any  more,  as  at  the  beginning, 

10  And  since  the  time  that  I  commanded  judges  to  be  over 
my  people  Is'ra-el.  Moreover  I  will  subdue  all  thine  enemies. 
Furthermore  I  tell  thee,  that  the  Lord  will  build  thee  a 
house. 

11  1[And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  thy  days  be  expired  that

Then  shall  the  trees  of  the  wood  sing  for  joy  be- 
fore the  Lord, 

For  he  cometh  to  judge  the  earth. 

'O  give  thanks  unto  the  Lord;  for  he  is  good: 

For  his  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

^And  say  ye,  Save  us,  O  God  of  our  salvation. 

And  gather  us  together  and  deliver  us  from  the 
nations, 

To  give  thanks  unto  thy  holy  name, 

And  to  triumph  in  thy  praise. 

Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 

From  everlasting  even  to  everlasting. 
And  all  the  people  said.  Amen,  and  praised  the  Lord. 

37  So  he  left  there,  before  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord,  A'saph  and  his  brethren,  to  minister  be- 
for  the  ark  continually,  as  every  day's  work  re- 

38  quired  :  and  O'bed-e'dora  with  their  brethren,  three- 
score and  eight ;  O'bed-e'dom  also  the  son  of  Jed'u- 

39thun  and  Ho'sah  to  be  doorkeepers:  and  Za'dok  the 
priest,  and  his  brethren  the  priests,  before  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  Lord  in  the   high  place  that  was  at 

40  Gib'e-on,  to  offer  burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord  upon 
the  altar  of  burnt  offering  continually  morning  and 
evening,  even  according  to  all  that  is  written  in  the 
law  of  the  Lord,  which  he  commanded  unto  Is'ra-el ; 

41  and  with  them  He'man  and  Jed'u-thun,  and  the  rest 
that  were  chosen,  who  were  expressed  by  name,  to 
give  thanks  to  the  Lord,  because  his  mercy  endureth 

42  for  ever;  and  with  them  He'man  and  Jed'u-thun  with 
trumpets  and  cymbals  for  those  that  should  sound 
aloud,  and  with  instruments  for  Hhe  songs  of  God : 

43  and  the  sons  of  Jed'u-thun  to  be  at  the  gate.  And 
all  the  people  departed  every  man  to  his  house: 
and  Da'vid  returned  to  bless  his  house. 

J^»  *And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Da'vid  dwelt  in  his 
house,  that  Da'vid  said  to  Na'than  the  prophet,  Lo,  I 
dwell  in  an  house  of  cedar,  but  the  ark  of  the  cove- 

2nant  of  the  Lord  dwelleth  under  curtains.  And 
Na'than  said  unto  Da'vid,  Do  all  that  is  in  thine 

3 heart;  for  God  is  with  thee.  And  it  came  to  pass 
the  same  night,  that  the  word  of  God  came  to  Na'

saith  the  Lord,  Thou  shalt  not  build  me  an  house 

5  to  dwell  in  :  for  I  have  not  dwelt  in  an  house  since 
the  day  that  I  brought  up  Is'ra-el,  unto  this  day;  but 
'have  gone  from  tent  to  tent,  and  from  one  tabernacle 

6  to  another.  In  all  places  wherein  I  have  walked 
with  all  Is'ra-el,  spake  I  word  with  any  of  the 
judges  of  Is'ra-el,  whom  I  commanded  to  feed  my 
people,  saying.  Why  have  ye  not  built  me  an  house 

7  of  cedar?  Now  therefore  thus  shalt  thou  say  unto 
my  servant  Da'vid,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I 
took  thee  from  the  ^sheepcote,  from  following  the 
sheep,  that  thou  shouldest  be  'prince  over  my  people 

8  Is'ra-el :  and  I  have  been  with  thee  whithersoever 
thou  wentest,  and  have  cut  off  all  thine  enemies 
from  before  thee;  and  I  will  make  thee  a  name,  like 
unto  the  name  of  the  great  ones  that  are  in  the 

9  earth.  And  I  will  appoint  a  place  for  my  people 
Is'ra-el,  and  will  plant  them,  that  they  may  dwell  in 
their  own  place,  and  be  moved  no  more;  neither 
shall  the  children  of   wickedness  waste  them  any 

10  more,  as  at  the  first,  and  as  from  the  day  that  I  com- 
manded judges  to  be  over  my  people  Is'ra-el ;  and 
I  'will  subdue  all  thine  enemies.     Moreover  I  tell 

11  thee  that  the  Lord  will  build  thee  an  house.  And 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  thy  days  be  fulfilled  that

thou  must  go  to  be  with  thy  fathers,  that  I  will  raise  up  thy 
seed  after  thee,  which  shall  be  of  thy  sons;  and  I  will  es- 
tablish his  kingdom. 

12  He  shall  build  me  a  house,  and  I  will  establish  his 
throne  for  ever. 

13  ''I  will  be  his  father,  and  he  shall  be  my  son:  and  I  will 
not  take  my  mercy  away  from  him,  as  I  took  it  from  him 
that  was  before  thee: 

14  But  "I  will  settle  him  in  mine  house  and  in  my  kingdom 
for  ever:  and  his  throne  shall  be  established  for  evermore. 

15  According  to  all  these  words,  and  according  to  all  this 
vision,  so  did  Na'than  speak  unto  Da'vid. 

16  ^''And  Da'vid  the  king  came  and  sat  before  the  Lord, 
and  said,  Who  am  I,  O  Lord  God,  and  what  is  mine  house, 
that  thou  hast  brought  me  hitherto? 

17  And  yet  this  was  a  small  thing  in  thine  eyes,  O  God; 
for  thou  hast  also  spoken  of  thy  servant's  house  for  a  great 
while  to  come,  and  hast  regarded  me  according  to  the 
estate  of  a  man  of  high  degree,  O  Lord  God. 

18  What  can  Da'vid  speak  more  to  thee  for  the  honour 
of  thy  servant?  for  thou  knowest  thy  servant. 

19  O  Lord,  for  thy  servant's  sake,  and  according  to  tnine 
own  heart,  hast  thou  done  all  this  greatness,  in  making 
known  all  these  fgreat  things. 

20  O  Lord,  there  is  none  like  thee,  neither  is  there  any  God 
besides  thee,  according  to  all  that  we  have  heard  with  our  ears. 

21  And  what  one  nation  in  the  earth  is  like  thy  people 
Is'ra-el,  whom  God  went  to  redeem  to  be  his  own  people,  to 
make  thee  a  name  of  greatness  and  terribleness,  by  driv- 
ing out  nations  from  before  thy  people,  whom  thou  hast 
redeemed  out  of  E'gypt? 

22  For  thy  people  Is  ra-el  didst  thou  make  thine  own  peo- 
ple for  ever;  and  thou,  Lord,  becamest  their  God. 

23  Therefore  now.  Lord,  let  the  thing  that  thou  hast 
spoken  concerning  thy  servant  and  concerning  his  house 
be  established  for  ever,  and  do  as  thou  hast  said. 

24  Let  it  even  be  established,  that  thy  name  may  be  mag- 
nified for  ever,  saying.  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el  even  a  God  to  Is'ra-el :  and  let  the  house  of  Da'vid 
thy  servant  be  established  before  thee. 

25  For  thou,  O  my  God,  fhast  told  thy  servant  that  thou 
wilt  build  him  a  house :  therefore  thy  servant  hath  found 
in  his  heart  to  pray  before  thee. 

26  And  now.  Lord,  thou  art  God,  and  hast  promised  this 
goodness  unto  thy  servant: 

27  Now  therefore  ||let  it  please  thee  to  bless  the  house  of 
thy  servant,  that  it  may  be  before  thee  for  ever:  for  thou 
blessest,  O  Lord,  and  it  shall  be  blessed  for  ever. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

David  subdueth  the  Philistines  and  the  Moabites. 

"VTOW  after  this  "it  came  to  pass  that  Da'vid  smote  the 
-Li  Phi-lis'tines,  and  subdued  them,  and  took  Gath  and 
her  towns  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

2  And  he  smote  Mo'ab :  and  the  Mo'ab-ites  became  Da'- 
vid's  servants,  and  brought  gifts. 

3  ^  And  Da'  vid  smote  1 1  Had-ar-e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah  unto  Ha'- 
math,  ashe  went  to  stabhsh  his  dominion  by  the  river  Eu-phra'tes. 

4  And  Da'vid  took  from  him  a  thousand  chariots,  and 
'seven  thousand  horsemen,  and  twenty  thousand  footmen: 
Da'vid  also  houghed  all  the  chariot  horses,  but  reserved  of 
them  a  hundred  chariots. 

5  And  when  the  Syr'i-ans  of  fDa-mas'cus  came  to  help 
Had-ar-e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah,  Da'vid  slew  of  the  Syr'i-ans 
two  and  twenty  thousand  men. 

6  Then  Da'vid  put  garrisons  in  Syr'i-a-da-mas'cus ;  and  the 
Syr'i-ans  became  Da'vid's  servants,  and  brought  gifts.  Thus 
the  Lord  pre.served  Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went. 

7  And  Da'vid  took  the  shields  of  gold  that  were  on  the 
servants  of  Had-ar-e'zer,  and  brought  them  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


thou  must  go  to  be  with  thy  fathers,  that  I  will  set 
up  thy  seed  after  thee,  which  shall  be  of  thy  sons ; 

12  and  I  will  establish  his  kingdom.  He  shall  build  me 
an  house,  and  I  will  establish  his  throne  for  ever. 

13  I  will  be  his  father,  and  he  shall  be  my  son :  and  I 
will  not  take  my  mercy  away  from  him,  as  I  took  it 

14 from  him  that  was  before  thee:  but  I  will  settle  him 
in  mine  house  and  in  my  kingdom  for  ever:  and  his 

15  throne  shall  be  established  for  ever.  According  to 
all  these  words,  and  according  to  all  this  vision,  so 
did  Na'than  speak  unto  Da'vid. 

16  Then  Da'vid  the  king  went  in,  and  sat  before  the 
Lord;  and  he  said,  Who  am  I,  O  Lord  God,  and 
Avhat  is  my  house,  that  thou  hast  brought  me  thus 

17 far?  And  this  was  a  small  thing  in  thine  eyes,  O 
God ;  but  thou  hast  spoken  of  thy  servant's  house 
for  a  great  while  to  come,  and  hast  regarded  me 
according  to  the  estate  of  a  man  of  high   degree,  O 

18  Lord  God.  What  can  Da'vid  say  yet  more  unto 
thee   concerning   the    honour  which  is  done  to  thy 

19 servant?  for  thou  knowest  thy  servant.  O  Lord, 
for  thy  servant's  sake,  and  according  to  thine  own 
heart,  hast  thou  wrought  all  this  greatness,  to  make 

20  known  all  these  great  things.  O  Lord,  there  is 
none  like  thee,  neither  is  there  any  God  beside  thee, 
according  to  all  that  we  have  heard  with  our  ears. 

21  'And  what  one  nation  in  the  earth  is  like  thy  people 
Is'ra-el  whom  God  went  to  redeem  unto  himself  for  a 
people,  to  make  thee  a  name  by  great  and  terrible 
things,  in  driving  out  nations  from  before  thy  people, 

22 which  thou  redeemedst  out  of  E'gypt?  For  thy 
people  Is'ra-el  didst  thou  make  thine  own  people  for 

23 ever;  and  thou.  Lord,  becamest  their  God.  And 
now,  O  Lord,  let  the  word  that  thou  hast  spoken 
concerning  thy  servant,  and  concerning  his  house, 
be  established  for  ever,  and  do  as  thou  hast  spoken. 

242And  let  thy  name  be  established  and  magnified  for 
ever,  saying.  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
even  a  God  to  Is'ra-el ;  and  the  house  of  Da'vid  thy 

25  servant  is  established  before  thee.  For  thou,  O  my 
God,  hast  revealed  to  thy  servant  that  thou  wilt 
build  him  an  house :    therefore   hath   thy   servant 

26  found  in  his  heart  to  pray  before  thee.  And  now,  O 
Lord,  thou  art  God,  and   hast  promised  this  good 

27 thing  unto  thy  servant:  and  now  it  hath  pleased 
thee  to  bless  the  house  of  thy  servant,  that  it  may 
continue  for  ever  before  thee :  for  thou,  O  Lord, 
hast  blessed,  and  it  is  blessed  for  ever. 

lO     And  after  this  'it  came  to  pass,  that  Da'vid  smote 

the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  subdued  them,  and  took  Gath 

and  her  towns  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

2 And  he  smote  Mo'ab;   and  the  Mo'ab-ites  became 

3  servants    to    Da'vid,   and    brought    presents.     And 
Da'vid  smote  Had-ar-e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah  ^unto  Ha' 
math,  as  he  went  to  stablish   his  dominion  by  the 

4  river  Eu-phra'tes.  And  Da'vid  took  from  him  a 
thousand  chariots,  and  seven  thousand  horsemen, 
and  twenty  thousand  footmen :  and  Da'vid  houghed 
all  the  chariot  horses,  but  reserved  of  them  for  an 

5  hundred  chariots.  And  when  *the  Syr'i-ans  of  "Da- 
mas'cus  came  to  succour  Had-ar-e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah, 
Da'vid  smote  of 'the  Syr'i-ans  two  and  twenty  thou- 

6  sand  men.  Then  Da'vid  put  garrisons  in  'Syr'i-a  of 
*Da-mas'cus;  and  'the  Syr'i-ans  became  servants  to 
Da'vid,  and  brought  presents.     And  the  Lord  "gave 

7  victory  to  Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went.  And  Da'- 
vid took  the  shields  of  gold  that  were  on  the  serv- 
ants of  Had-ar-e'zer,  and  brought  them  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.

8  Likewise  from  ||  Tib'hath, and  from  Chun,  citiesof  Had-ar- 
e'zer,  brought  Da'vid  very  much  brass,  wherewith  '^Sol'o-mon 
made  the  brazen  sea,  and  the  pillars,  and  the  vessels  of  brass. 

9  ^Now  when  ||  To'u  king  of  Ha'math  heard  how  Da'vid 
had  smitten  all  the  host  of  Had-ar-e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah ; 

10  He  sent  ||  Ha-do'ram  his  son  to  king  Da'vid,  ||to 
Inquire  of  his  welfare,  and  fto  congratulate  him,  because  he 
had  fought  against  Had-ar-e'zer,  and  smitten  him ;  (for 
Had-ar-e'zer  fhad  war  with  To'u ;)  and  with  him  all  manner 
of  vessels  of  gold  and  silver  and  brass. 

11  ^Them  also  king  Da'vid  dedicated  unto  the  Lord, 
with  the  silver  and  the  gold  that  he  brought  from  all 
these  nations;  from  E'dom,  and  from  Mo'ab,  and  from 
the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  from  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and 
from  Am'a-lek. 

12  Moreover,  fA-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  slew  of  the 
E'dom-ites  in  the  valley  of  salt  ''eighteen  thousand. 

13  ^^And  he  put  garrisons  in  E'dom ;  and  all  the  E'dom- 
ites  became  Da'vid's  servants.  Thus  the  Lord  preserved 
Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went. 

14  ^So  Da'vid  reigned  over  all  Is'ra-el,  and  executed 
judgment  and  ju-stice  among  all  his  people. 

15  And  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  was  over  the  host;  and 
Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  A-hi'lud,  |1  recorder; 

16  And  Za'dok  the  son  of  A-hi'tub,  and  ||  A-bim'e-lech  the 
son  of  A-bi'a-thar,  were  the  priests ;  and  1 1  Shav'sha  was  scribe ; 

17  ■'^And  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  was  over  the 
Cher'eth-ites  and  the  Pe'leth-ites ;  and  the  sons  of  Da'vid 
were  chief  fabout  the  king. 

CHAPTER    XIX. 

David  sendeth  messengers  to  comfort  Hanun  the  son  of  Nahash. 

"VTOW  "it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Na'hash  the  king 
-1-^  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  died,  and  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

2  And  Da'vid  said,  I  will  shew  kindness  unto  Ha'nun  the 
son  of  Na'hash,  because  his  father  shewed  kindness  to  me. 
And  Da'vid  sent  messengers  to  comfort  him  concerning  his 
father.  So  the  servants  of  Da'vid  came  into  the  land  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon  to  Ha'nun,  to  comfort  him. 

3  But  the  princes  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  said  to  Ha'nun, 
fThinkest  thou  that  Da'vid  doth  honour  thy  father,  that  he 
hath  sent  comforters  unto  thee?  are  not  his  servants  come 
unto  thee  for  to  search,  and  to  overthrow,  and  to  spy  out 
the  land? 

4  Wherefore  Ha'nun  took  Da'vid's  servants,  and  shaved 
them,  and  cut  off  their  garments  in  the  midst  hard  by  their 
buttocks,  and  sent  them  away. 

5  Then  there  went  certain,  and  told  Da'vid  how  the  men 
were  served ;  and  he  sent  to  meet  them :  for  the  men  were 
greatly  ashamed.  And  the  king  said.  Tarry  at  Jer'i-cho 
until  your  beards  be  grown,  and  then  return. 

6  ^And  when  the  children  of  Am'mon  saw  that  they  had 
made  themselves  fodious  to  Da'vid,  Ha'nun  and  the  children 
of  Am'mon  sent  a  thousand  talents  of  silver  to  hire  them 
chariots  and  horsemen  out  of  Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a,  and  out  of 
Syr'i-a-ma'a-chah,  ''and  out  of  Zo'bah. 

7  So  they  hired  thirty  and  two  thousand  chariots,  and  the 
king  of  Ma'a-chah  and  his  people ;  who  came  and  pitched 
before  Med'e-ba.  And  the  children  of  Am'mon  gathered 
themselves  together  from  their  cities,  and  came  to  battle. 

8  And  when  Da'vid  heard  of  it,  he  sent  Jo'ab,  and  all  the 
host  of  the  mighty  men. 

9  And  the  children  of  Am'mon  came  out,  and  put  the  bat- 
tle in  array  before  the  gate  of  the  city :  and  the  kings  that 
were  come  were  by  themselves  in  the  field. 

10  Now  when  Jo'ab  saw  that  fthe  battle  was  set  against 
him  before  and  behind,  he  chose  out  of  all  the  ||  choice  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  put  them  in  array  against  the  Syr'i-ans. 

11  And   the  rest  of  the   people  he    delivered   unto   the 


8  And  from  Tib'hath  and  from  Cun,  cities  of  Had'ar 
e'zer,  Da'vid  took  very  much  brass,  wherewith  Solo- 
mon made  the  brasen  sea,  and  the  pillars,  and  the 

9  vessels  of  brass.  And  when  To'u  king  of  Ha'math 
heard  that  Da'vid  had  smitten  all  the  host  of  Had-ar 

10  e'zer  king  of  Zo'bah,  he  sent  Ha-do'ram  his  son  to 
king  Da'vid,  to  salute  him,  and  to  bless  him,  be- 
cause he  had  fought  against  Had-ar-e'zer  and  smitten 
him ;  for  Had-ar-e'zer  had  wars  with  To'u ;  and  he  had 
with  him  all   manner  of  vessels  of  gold  and  silver 

Hand  brass.  These  also  did  king  Da'vid  dedicate 
unto  the  Lord,  with  the  silver  and  the  gold  that  he 
carried  away  from  all  the  nations ;  from  E'dom,  and 
from  Mo'ab,  and  from  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and 

1 2  from  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  from  Am'a-lek.  Moreover 
'A-bish'a-i  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  smote  of  theE'dom-ites 

13  in  the  Valley  of  Salt  eighteen  thousand.  And  he 
put  garrisons  in  E'dom;  and  all  the  E'dom-ites  be- 
came servants  to  Da'vid.  And  the  Lord  ^gave 
victory  to  Da'vid  whithersoever  he  went. 

14  And  Da'vid  reigned  over  all  Is'ra-el ;  and  he  exe- 
cuted judgment   and   justice    unto    all    his   people 

15  And  Jo'ab  the  son  of  Zer-u-i'ah  was  over  the  host; 
and  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  son  of  A-hi'lud  was  'recorder. 

16  And  Za'dok  the  son  of  A-hi'tub,  and  A-bim'e-lech  the 
son  of  A-bi'a-thar,  were  priests ;  and  Shav'sha  was 

17  Scribe ;  and  Be-na'iah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  was  over 
the  Cher'eth-ites  and  the  Pe'leth-ites;  and  the  sons 
of  Da'vid  were  chief  about  the  king. 

iv  5 And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Na'hash  the 
king  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  died,  and  his  son 

2  reigned  in  his  stead.  And  Da'vid  said,  I  will  shew 
kindness  unto  Ha'nun  the  son  of  Na'hash,  because 
his  father  shewed  kindness  to  me.  So  Da'vid  sent 
messengers  to  comfort  him  concerning  his  father. 
And  Da'vid's  servants  came  into  the  land  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon   to   Ha'nun,  to   comfort  him, 

3  But  the  princes  of  the  children  of  Am'mon  said  to 
Ha'nun,  Thinkest  thou  that  Da'vid  doth  honour  thy 
father,  that  he  hath  sent  comforters  unto  thee?  are 
not  his  servants  come  unto  thee  for  to  search,  and 

4 to  overthrow,  and  to  spy  out  the  land?  So  Ha'nun 
took  Da'vid's  servants,  and  shaved  them,  and  cut  off 
their  garments  in  the  middle,  even  to  their  buttocks, 

5  and  sent  them  away.  Then  there  went  certain,  and 
told  Da'vid  how  the  men  were  served.  And  he  sent 
to  meet  them;  for  the  men  were  greatly  ashamed, 
And  the  king  said,  Tarry  at  Jer'i-cho  until  your 

6  beards  be  grown,  and  then  return.  And  when  the 
children  of  Am'mon  saw  that  they  had  made  them- 
selves odious  to  Da'vid,  Ha'nun  and  the  children  of 
Am'mon  sent  a  thousand  talents  of  silver  to  hire 
them  chariots  and  horsemen  out  of  Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a, 

7  and  out  of  A-ram-ma'a-cah,  and  out  of  Zo'bah.  So 
they  hired  them  thirty  and  two  thousand  chariots, 
and  the  king  of  Ma'a-cah  and  his  people ;  who  came 
and  pitched  before  Med'e-ba.  And  the  children  of 
Am'mon  gathered  themselves  together  from  their 

8  cities,  and  came  to  battle.  And  when  Da'vid  heard 
of  it,  he  sent  Jo'ab,  and  all  the  host  of  the  mighty 

9  men.  And  the  children  of  Am'mon  came  out,  and  put 
the  battle  in  array  at  the  gate  of  the  city :  and  the 
kings  that  were  come  were  by  themselves  in  the  field. 

10  Now  when  Jo'ab  saw  that  ^the  battle  was  set  against 
him  before  and  behind,  he  chose  of  all  the  choice  men 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  put  them  in  array  against  the  Syr'i-ans. 

11  And  the  rest  of  the  people  he  committed  into  the

hand  of  fA-bish'a-i  his  brother,  eewJ  they  set  themselves  in 
array  against  the  children  of  Am'mon. 

12  And  he  said,  If  the  Syr'i-ans  be  too  strong  for  me,  then 
thou  shalt  help  me :  but  if  the  children  of  Am'mon  be  too 
strong  for  thee,  then  I  will  help  thee. 

13  Be  of  good  courage,  and  let  us  behave  ourselves  val- 
iantly for  our  people,  and  for  the  cities  of  our  God :  and  let 
the  Lord  do  that  lohich  is  good  in  his  sight. 

14  So  Jo'ab  and  the  people  that  were  with  him  drew  nigh 
before  the  Syr'i-ans  unto  the  battle;  and  they  fled  before  him. 

15  And  when  the  children  of  Am'mon  saw  that  the  Syr'- 
i-ans were  fled,  they  likewise  fled  before  A-bish'a-i  his  brother, 
and  entered  into  the  city.    Then  Jo'ab  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

16  T[And  when  the  Syr'i-ans  saw  that  they  were  put  to 
the  worse  before  Is'ra-el,  they  sent  messengers,  and  drew 
forth  the  Syr'i-ans  that  were  beyond  the  || river:  and 
||Sho'phach  the  captain  of  the  host  of  Had-ar-e'zer  went 
before  them. 

17  And  it  was  told  Da'vid ;  and  he  gathered  all  Is'ra-el,  and 
passed  over  Jor'dan,  and  came  upon  them,  and  set  the  battle 
in  array  against  them.  So  when  Da'vid  had  put  the  battle 
in  array  against  the  Syr'i-ans,  they  fought  with  him. 

18  But  the  Syr'i-ans  fled  before  Is'ra-el;  and  Da'vid  slew 
of  the  Syr'i-ans  seven  thousand  men  which  fought  in  chariots, 
and  forty  thousand  footmen,  and  killed  Sho'phach  the  cap- 
tain of  the  host. 

19  And  when  the  servants  of  Had-ar-e'zer  saw  that  they 
were  put  to  the  worse  before  Is'ra-el,  they  made  peace  with 
Da'vid  and  became  his  servants :  neither  would  the  Syr'- 
i-ans help  the  children  of  Am'mon  any  more. 

CHAFTER   XX. 

Rabbak  is  besieged  by  Joab,  and  spoiled  by  David. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass,  that  fafter  the  year  was  expired, 
at  the  time  that  kings  go  out  to  battle,  Jo'ab  led  forth 
the  power  of  the  army,  and  wasted  the  country  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon,  and.  came  and  besieged  Rab'bah.  But 
Da'vid  tarried  at  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  'Jo'ab  smote  Rab'bah, 
and  destroyed  it. 

2  And  Da'vid  "took  the  crown  of  their  king  from  off  his 
head,  and  found  it  fto  weigh  a  talent  of  gold,  and  there  were 
precious  stones  in  it;  and  it  was  set  upon  Da'vid's  head: 
and  he  brought  also  exceeding  much  spoil  out  of  the  city. 

3  And  he  brought  out  the  people  that  were  in  it,  and  cut  them 
with  saws,  and  with  harrows  of  iron,  and  with  axes.  Even 
so  dealt  Da'vid  with  all  the  cities  of  the  children  of  Am'mon. 
And  Da'vid  and  all  the  people  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  1[And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  ''that  there  Ufarose  war 
at  IIGe'zer  with  the  Phi-lis'tines;  at  which  time  *Sib'be-chai 
the  Hu'shath-ite  slew  ||Sip'pai,  that  was  o{  th.Q  children  of 
II the  giant:  and  they  were  subdued. 

5  And  there  was  war  again  with  the  Phi-lis'tines;  and 
El-ha'nan  the  son  of  1 1  Ja'ir  slew  Lah'mi  the  brother  of  Go-li'ath 
the  Git'tite,  whose  spear  staff  was  like  a  weaver's  beam. 

6  And  yet  again  -'^  there  was  war  at  Gath,  where  was  f^ 
man  of  great  stature,  whose  fingers  and  toes  were  four  and 
twenty,  six  on  each  hand,  and  six  on  each  foot :  and  he  also 
was  fthe  son  of  the  giant. 

7  But  when  he  ||  defied  Is'ra-el,  Jon'a-than  the  son  of 
||Shim'e-a,  Da'vid's  brother,  slew  him. 

8  These  were  born  unto  the  giant  in  Gath ;  and  they  fell 
by  the  hand  of  Da'vid,  and  by  the  hand  of  his  servants. 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

David,  tempted  by  Satan, /orceth  Joab  to  number  the  people. 

AND  "Sa'tan  stood  up  against   Is'ra-el,  and    provoked 
Da'vid  to  number  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  Da'vid  said  to  Jo'ab  and  to  the  rulers  of  the  peo- 
ple. Go,  number  Is'ra-el  from  Be'er-she'ba  even  to  Dan ; 
"and  bring  the  number  of  them  to  me  that  I  may  know  it. 

3  And  Jo'ab  answered,    The    Lokd  make   his  people  a 


hand  of  'A-bish'a-i  his  brother,  and  they  pat  them- 
selves in    array   against  the  children    of  Am'mon. 

12  And  he  said.  If  the  Syr'i-ans  be  too  strong  for  me, 
then  thou  shalt  help  me :  but  if  the  children  of 
Am'mon  be  too  strong  for  thee,  then    I   will   help 

13  thee.  Be  of  good  courage,  and  let  us  play  the  men 
for  our  people,  and  for  the  cities  of  our  God :  and 

14  the  Lord  do  that  which  seemeth  him  good.  So 
Jo'ab  and  the  people  that  were  with  him  drew  nigh 
before  the  Syr'i-ans  unto  the  battle ;  and  they  fled  be 

15  fore  him.  And  when  the  children  of  Am'mon  saw 
that  the  Syr'i-ans  were  fled,  they  likewise  fled  before 
,A-bish'a-i  his  brother,  and  entered  into  the  city.  Then 

16  Jo'ab  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  when  the  Syr'i-ans 
saw  that  they  were  put  to  the  worse  before  Is'ra-el, 
they  sent  messengers,  and  drew  forth  the  Syr'i-ans 
that  were  beyond  the  River,  with  Sho'phach  the 
captain  of  the  host  of  Had-ar-e'zer  at  their  head. 

17  And  it  was  told  Da'vid;  and  he  gathered  all  Is'ra-el 
together  and  passed  over  Jor'dan,  and  came  upon 
them,  and  set  the  battle  in  array  against  them.  So 
when  Da'vid  had  put  the  battle  in  array  against  the 

18  Syr'i-ans,  they  fought  with  him.  And  the  Syr'i-ans 
fled  before  Is'ra-el ;  and  Da'vid  slew  of  the  Syr'i-ans  the 
men  of  seven  thousand  chariots,  and  forty  thousand 
footmen,   and   killed  Sho'phach  the  captain  of  the 

19  host.  And  when  the  servants  of  Had-ar-e'zer  saw 
that  they  were  put  to  the  worse  before  Is'ra-el,  they 
made  peace  with  Da'vid,  and  served  him:  neither  would 
the  Syr'i-ans  help  the  chilren  of  Am'mon  any  more 

^v  *And  it  came  to  pass,  at  the  time  of  the  return  of 
the  year,  at  the  time  when  kings  go  out  to  battle. 
that  Jo'ab  led  forth  the  power  of  the  army,  and 
wasted  the  country  of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and 
came  and  besieged  Rab'bah.  But  Da'vid  tarried  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem.     And  ^Jo'ab  smote  Rab'bah,  and  over- 

2  threw  it.  *And  Da'vid  took  the  crown  of 'their  king 
from  off  his  head,  and  found  it  to  weigh  a  talent  of 
gold, and  there  were  precious  stones  in  it;  and  it 
was  set  upon  Da'vid's  head :  and  he  brought  forth 

3  the  spoil  of  the  city,  exceeding  much.  And  he 
brought  forth  the  people  that  were  therein,  and  cut 
them  with  saws,  and  with  harrows  of  iron,  and  with 
axes.  And  thus  did  Da'vid  unto  all  the  cities  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon.  And  Da'vid  and  all  the  peo- 
ple returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  'And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  there  arose 
war  at  'Ge'zer  with  the  Phi-lis'tines :  then  Sib'be-cai 
the  Hu'shath-ite  slew  Sip'pai,  of  the  sons  of  the 

5  ^giant :  and  they  were  subdued.  And  there  was 
again  war  with  the  Phi-lis'tines ;  and  El-ha'nan  the 
son  of  Ja'ir  slew  Lah'mi  the  brother  of  Go-li'ath  the 
Git'tite,  the  staff  of  whose  spear  was  like  a  weaver's 

6  beam.  And  there  was  again  war  at  Gath,  where 
was  a  man  of  great  stature,  whose  fingers  and  toes 
were  four  and  twenty,  six  on  each  hand  and  six  on 
each  foot;   and   he  also  was   born   unto  the  'giant. 

7  And  when  he  '"defied  Is'ra-el,  Jon'a-than  the  son  of 
8Shim'e-a  Da'vid's  brother  slew  him.      These  were 

born  unto  the  'giant  in  Gath ;  and  they  fell  by  the 
hand  of  Da'vid,  and  by  the  hand  of  his  servants.

hundred  times  so  many  more  as  they  be :  but,  my  lord  the 
king,  are  they  not  all  my  lord's  servants?  why  then  doth 
my  lord  require  this  thing?  why  will  he  be  a  cause  of  tres- 
pass to  Is'ra-el  ? 

4  Nevertheless  the  king's  words  prevailed  against  Jo'ab. 
Wherefore  Jo'ab  departed,  and  went  throughout  all  Is'ra-el, 
and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  ^And  Jo'ab  gave  the  sum  of  the  number  of  the  people  unto 
Da'vid.  And  all  <Ae?/ q/"Is'ra-el  were  a  thousand  thousand  and  a 
hundred  thousand  men  that  drew  sword :  and  Ju'dah  was  four 
hundred  threescore  and  ten  thousand  men  that  drew  sword. 

6  "But  Le'vi  and  Ben'ja-min  counted  he  not  among  them : 
for  the  king's  word  was  abominable  to  Jo'ab. 

7  fAnd  God  was  displeased  with  this  thing,  therefore  he 
smote  Is'ra-el. 

8  And  Da'vid  said  unto  God,  ''I  have  sinned  greatly,  because 
I  have  done  this  thing :  'but  now,  I  beseech  thee,  do  away 
the  iniquity  of  thy  servant ;  for  I  have  done  very  foolishly. 

9  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Gad,  Da'vid's  ■'^seer,  saying, 

10  Go  and  tell  Da'vid,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I 
foffer  thee  three  things:  choose  thee  one  of  them,  that  I 
may  do  it  unto  thee. 

11  So  Gad  came  to  Da'vid,  and  said  unto  him,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  fChoose  thee 

12  "Either  three  years'  famine;  or  three  months  to  be 
destroyed  before  thy  foes,  while  that  the  sword  of  thine 
enemies  overtaketh  thee;  or  else  three  days  the  sword  of 
the  Lord,  even  the  pestilence,  in  the  land,  and  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  destroying  throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Is'ra-el. 
Now  therefore  advise  thyself  what  word  I  shall  bring  again 
to  him  that  sent  me. 

13  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Gad,  I  am  in  a  great  strait :  let 
me  fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the  Lord;  for  very  ||  great 
are  his  mercies:  but  let  me  not  fall  into  the  hand  of  man. 

14  %So  the  Lord  sent  pestilence  upon  Is'ra-el :  and  there 
fell  of  Is'ra-el  seventy  thousand  men. 

15  And  God  sent  an  ''angel  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  destroy  it: 
and  as  he  was  destroying,  the  Lord  beheld,  and  'he  repented 
him  of  the  evil,  and  said  to  the  angel  that  destroyed,  It  is 
enough,  stay  now  thine  hand.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
stood  by  the  threshingfloor  of  ||Or'nan  the  Jeb'u-site. 

16  And  Da'vid  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  *saw  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  stand  between  the  earth  and  the  heaven,  having  a 
drawn  sword  in  his  hand  stretched  out  over  Je-ru'sa-lem. 
Then  Da'vid  and  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  who  were  clothed  in 
sackcloth,  fell  upon  their  faces. 

17  And  Da'vid  said  unto  God,  Is  it  not  I  that  commanded 
the  people  to  be  numbered?  even  I  it  is  that  have  sinned 
and  done  evil  indeed ;  but  as  for  these  sheep,  what  have 
they  done?  let  thine  hand,  I  pray  thee,  O  Lord  my  God, 
be  on  me,  and  on  my  father's  house ;  but  not  on  thy  people, 
that  they  should  be  plagued. 

18  lyThen  the  'angel  of  the  Lord  commanded  Gad  to  say 
to  Da'vid,  that  Da'vid  should  go  up,  and  set  up  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord  in  the  threshingfloor  of  Or'nan  the  Jeb'u-site. 

19  And  Da'vid  went  up  at  the  saying  of  Gad,  which  he 
spake  in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

20  II  And  Or'nan  turned  back,  and  saw  the  angel;  and  his 
four  .sons  with  him  hid  themselves.  Now  Or'nan  was  thresh- 
ing wheat. 

21  And  as  Da'vid  came  to  Or'nan,  Or'nan  looked  and  saw 
Da'vid,  and  went  out  of  the  threshingfloor,  and  bowed  him- 
self to  Da'vid  with  his  face  to  the  ground. 

22  Then  Da'vid  said  to  Or'nan,  fGrant  me  the  place  o{this 
threshingfloor,  that  I  may  build  an  altar  therein  unto  the 
Lord  :  thou  shalt  grant  it  me  for  the  full  price :  that  the 
plague  may  be  stayed  from  the  people. 

23  And  Or'nan  said  unto  Da'vid,  Take  it  to  thee,  and  let  my 
lord  the  king  do  that  which  is  good  in  his  eyes :  lo,  I  give 


hundred  times  so  many  more  as  they  be:  but,  my 
lord  the  king,  are  they  not  all  my  lord's  servants? 
why  doth  my  lord  require  this  thing?  why  will  he  be 

4  a  cause  of  guilt  unto  Is'ra-el  ?  Nevertheless  the  king's 
word  prevailed  against  Jo'ab.  Wherefore  Jo'ab  de- 
parted, and  went  throughout  all  Is'ra-el,  and  came  to 

5  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  Jo'ab  gave  up  the  sum  of  the  num- 
bering of  the  people  unto  Da'vid.  And  all  they  of 
Is'ra-el  were  a  thousand  thousand  and  an  hundred 
thousand  men  that  drew  sword :  and  Ju'dah  was  four 
hundred  threescore  and  ten  thousand  men  that  drew 

6  sword.  But  Le'vi  and  Ben'ja-min  counted  he  not 
among  them :  for  the  king's  word  was  abominable  to 

7  Jo'ab.  And  God  was  displeased  with  this  thing ;  there- 

8  fore  he  smote  Is'ra-el.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  God,  I 
have  sinned  greatly,  in  that  I  have  done  this  thing : 
but  now,  put  away,  I  beseech  thee,  the  iniquity  of 

9  thy  servant;  for  I  have  done  very  foolishly.  And  the 

10  Lord  spake  unto  Gad,  Da'vid's  seer,  saying,  Go  and 
speak  unto  Da'vid,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I 
'ofier  thee  three  things;  choose  thee  one  of  them, 

11  that  I  may  do  it  unto  thee.  So  Gad  came  to  Da'vid, 
and  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Take  which 

12 thou  wilt;  either  three  years  of  famine;  or  three 
months  to  be  consumed  before  thy  foes,  while  that 
the  sword  of  thine  enemies  overtaketh  thee ;  or  else 
three  days  the  sword  of  the  Lord,  ^even  pestilence 
in  the  land,  and  the  angel  of  the  Lord  destroying 
throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Is'ra-el.  Now  therefore 
consider  what  answer  I  shall  return  to  him  that  sent 

13  me.  And  Da'vid  said  unto  Gad,  I  am  in  a  great  strait : 
let  me  fall  now  into  the  hand  of  the  Lord  ;  for  very 
^great  are  his  mercies:    and  let  me  not  fall  into  the 

14  hand  of  man.  So  the  Lord  sent  a  pestilence  upon 
Is'ra-el :  and  there  fell  of  Is'ra-el  seventy  thousand 

15  men.  And  God  sent  an  angel  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  to 
destroy  it:  and  as  he  was  about  to  destroy,  the 
Lord  beheld,  and  he  repented  him  of  the  evil,  and 
said  to  the  destroying  angel.  It  is  enough;  now 
stay  thine  hand.     And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  stood 

16  by  the  threshing-floor  of  *Or'nan  the  Jeb'u-site.  And 
Da'vid  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  stand  between  the  earth  and  the  heaven,  hav- 
ing a  drawn  sword  in  his  hand  stretched  out  over 
Je-ru'sa-lem.     Then  Da'vid  and  the  elders,  clothed  in 

17  sackcloth,  fell  upon  their  faces.  And  Da'vid  said 
unto  God,  Is  it  not  I  that  commanded  the  people  to 
be  numbered?"  even  I  it  is  that  have  sinned  and 
done  very  wickedly;  but  these  sheep,  what  have 
they  done?  let  thine  hand,  I  pray  thee,  O  Lord  my 
God,  be  against  me,  and  against  my  father's  house ; 
but  not   against   thy    people,    that   they  should  be 

18  plagued.  Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord  commanded 
Gad  to  say  to  Da'vid,  that  Da'vid  should  go  up,  and 
rear  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  in  the  threshing-floor 

19  of  Or'nan  the  Jeb'u-site.  And  Da'vid  went  up  at  the 
saying  of  Gad,  which  he  spake  in  the  name  of  the 

20  Lord.  And  Or'nan  turned  back,  and  saw  the  angel ; 
and  his  four  sons  that  were  with  him  hid  themselves. 

21  Now  Or'nan  was  threshing  wheat.  And  as  Da'vid 
came  to  Or'nan,  Or'nan  looked  and  saw  Da'vid,  and 
went  out  of  the  threshing-floor,  and  bowed  himself  to 

22  Da'vid  with  his  face  to  the  ground.  Then  Da'vid  said 
to  Or'nan,  Give  me  the  place  of  this  threshing-floor, 
that  I  may  build  thereon  an  altar  unto  the  Lord  :  for 
the  full  price  shalt  thou  give  it  me :    that  the  plague 

23  may  be  stayed  from  the  people.  And  Or'nan  said 
unto  Da'vid,  Take  it  to  thee,  and  let  my  lord  the 
king  do  that  which  is  good  in  his  eyes :  lo,  I  give

24  And  king  Da'vid  said  to  Or'nan,  Nay ;  but  I  will  verily 
buy  it  for  the  full  price:  for  I  will  not  take  that  which  is 
thine  for  the  Lord,  nor  offer  burnt  offerings  without  cost. 

25  So  "'Da'vid  gave  to  Or'nan  for  the  place  six  hundred 
shekels  of  gold  by  weight. 

26  And  Da'vid  built  there  an  altar  unto  the  Lord,  and 
offered  burnt  offerings  and  peace  offerings,  and  called  upon 
the  Lord;  and  "he  answered  him  from  heaven  by  fire  upon 
the  altar  of  burnt  offering. 

27  And  the  Lord  commanded  the  angel;  and  he  put  up 
his  sword  again  into  the  sheath  thereof. 

28  IJAt  that  time  when  Da'vid  saw  that  the  Lord  had 
answered  him  in  the  threshingfloor  of  Or'nan  the  Jeb'u-site, 
then  he  sacrificed  there. 

29  "For  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord,  which  Mo'ses  made  in 
the  wilderness,  and  the  altar  of  the  burnt  offering,  were  at 
that  season  in  the  high  place  at  ''Gib'e-on. 

30  But  Da'vid  could  not  go  before  it  to  inquire  of  God : 
for  he  was  afraid  because  of  the  sword  of  the  angel  of 
the  Lord. 

CHAPTER    XXII. 

David  instructeth  Solomon  in  his  duty  in  building  the  tempU- 

THEN  Da'vid  said,  "This  is  the  house  of  the  Lord  God, 
and  this  is  the  altar  of  the  burnt  offering  for  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  Da'vid  commanded  to  gather  together  *the  strangers 
that  were  in  the  land  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  he  set  masons  to  hew 
wrought  stones  to  build  the  house  of  God. 

3  And  Da'vid  prepared  iron  in  abundance  for  the  nails  for 
the  doors  of  the  gates,  and  for  the  joinings ;  and  brass  in 
abundance  ''without  weight; 

4  Also  cedar  trees  in  abundance :  for  the  ''Zi-do'ni-ans  and 
they  of  Tyre  brought  much  cedar  wood  to  Da'vid. 

6  And  Da'vid  said,  'Sol'o-mon  my  son  is  young  and  tender, 
and  the  house  that  is  to  be  builded  for  the  Lord  must  be  ex- 
ceedingly magnifical,  of  fame  and  of  glory  throughout  all 
countries :  I  will  therefore  now  make  prepai'ation  foi-  it.  So 
Da'vid  prepared  abundantly  before  his  death. 

6  ^Then  he  called  for  Sol'o-mon  his  son,  and  charged  him 
to  build  a  house  for  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  And  Da'vid  said  to  Sol'o-mon,  My  son,  as  for  me, -'it  was  in 
my  mind  to  build  a  house  "unto  the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God : 

8  But  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  me,  saying,  *Thou 
hast  shed  blood  abundantly,  and  hast  made  great  wars :  thou 
shalt  not  build  a  house  unto  my  name,  because  thou  hast 
shed  much  blood  upon  the  earth  in  my  sight'. 

9  'Behold,  a  son  shall  be  born  to  thee,  who  shall  be  a  man 
of  rest ;  and  I  will  give  him  *rest  from  all  his  enemies  round 
about:  for  his  name  shall  be  ||  Sol'o-mon,  and  I  will  give 
peace  and  quietness  unto  Is'ra-el  in  his  days. 

10  'He  shall  build  a  house  for  my  name ;  and  "he  shall  be 
my  son,  and  I  wiU  be  his  father;  and  I  will  establish  the 
throne  of  his  kingdom  over  Is'ra-el  for  ever. 

11  Now,  my  son,  "the  Lord  be  with  thee;  and  prosper 
thou,  and  build  the  house  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  as  he  hath 
said  of  thee. 

12  Only  the  Lord  "give  thee  wisdom  and  understanding, 
and  give  thee  charge  concerning  Is'ra-el,  that  thou  mayest 
keep  the  law  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

13  "Then  shalt  thou  prosper,  if  thou  takest  heed  to  fulfil 
the  statutes  and  judgments  which  the  Lord  charged  Mo'ses 
with  concerning  Is'ra-el:  'be  strong,  and  of  good  courage; 
dread  not,  nor  be  dismayed. 

14  Now,  behold,  ||  in  my  trouble  I  have  prepared  for  the 
house  of  the  Lord  a  hundred  thousand  talents  of  gold,  and 
a  thousand  thousand  talents  of  silver ;  and  of  brass  and  iron 
'without  weight;  for  it  is  in  abundance:  timber  also  and 
stone  have  I  prepared ;  and  thou  mayest  add  thereto.

thee  the  oxen  for  burnt  offerings,  and  the  threshing 
instruments  for  wood,  and  the  wheat  for  the  meal 

24  offering;  I  give  it  all.  And  king  Da'vid  said  to  Or'- 
nan, Nay ;  but  I  will  verily  buy  it  for  the  full  price : 
for  I  will  not  take  that  which  is  thine  for  the  Lord, 

25  nor  offer  a  burnt  offering  without  cost.  So  Da'vid 
gave  to  Or'nan  for  the  place  six  hundred  shekels  of 

26  gold  by  weight.  And  Da'vid  built  there  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord,  and  offered  burnt  offerings  and  peace  offer- 
ings, and  called  upon  the  Lord  ;  and  he  answered  him 
from  heaven  by  fire  upon  the  altar  of  burnt  offering. 

27  And  the  Lord  commanded  the  angel ;  and  he  put  up 
his  sword  again  into  the  sheath  thereof 

28  At  that  time,  when  Da'vid  saw  that  the  Lord  had 
answered  him  in  the  threshing-floor  of  Or'nan  the 

29  Jeb'u-site,  then  he  sacrificed  there.  For  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  Lord,  which  Mo'ses  made  in  the  wilder- 
ness, and  the   altar  of  burnt  offering,  were  at  that 

30  time  in  the  high  place  at  Gib'e-on.  But  Da'vid  could 
not  go   before   it  to   inquire   of  God:   for    he   was 

afraid  because  of  the  sword  of  the  angc'  of  the  Lord 
Then  Da'vid  said.  This  is  the  house  of  the  Lord 
God,  and  this  is  the  altar  of  burnt  offering  for  Is'ra-el 

2  And  Da'vid  commanded  to  gather  together  the 
strangers  that  were  in  the  land  of  Is'ra-el;  and  he 
set  masons  to   hew   wrought   stones   to    build    the 

3  house  of  God.     And  Da'vid  prepared  iron  in  abun 
dance  for  the  nails  for  the  doors  of  the  gates,  and  for 
the    couplings;    and    brass    in    abundance    without 

4 weight;  and  cedar  trees  without  number:  for  the 
Zi-do'ni-ans  and  they  of  Tyre  brought  cedar  trees  in 

5  abundance  to  Da'vid.  And  Da'vid  said,  Sol'o-mon 
my  son  is  young  and  tender,  and  the  house  that  is  to 
be  builded  for  the  Lord  must  be  exceeding  mag- 
nifical, of  fame  and  of  glory  throughout  all  coun- 
tries: I  will  therefore  make  preparation  for  it.  So 
Da'vid  prepared  abundantly  before  his  death. 

6  Then  he  called  for  Sol'o-mon  his  son,  and  charged 
him  to  build  an  house  for  the  Lord,  the  God  of 

7  Is'ra-el.  And  Da'vid  said  to  Sol'o-mon  'his  son.  As 
for  me,  it  was  in  my  heart  to  build  an  house  unto 

8  the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God.  But  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  to  me,  saying.  Thou  hast  shed 
blood  abundantly,  and  hast  made  great  wars:  thou 
shalt  not  build  an  house  unto  my  name,  because 
thou  hast  shed  much  blood  upon  the  earth  in  my 

9  sight:  behold,  a  son  shall  be  born  to  thee,  who  shall 
be  a  man  of  rest;  and  I  will  give  him  rest  from  all 
his  enemies  round  about :  for  his  name  shall  be  ^Sol'- 
o-mon,  and  I  will  give  peace  and  quietness  unto 

10 Is'ra-el  in  his  days:  he  shall  build  an  house  for 
my  name ;  and  he  shall  be  my  son,  and  I  will  be 
his  father;  and  I  will  establish  the  throne  of  his 

11  kingdom  over  Is'ra-el  for  ever.  Now,  my  son,  the 
Lord  be  with  thee ;  and  prosper  thou,  and  build  the 
house  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  as  he  hath  spoken  con- 

12cerning  thee.  Only  the  Lord  give  thee  discretion 
and  understanding,  and  give  thee  charge  concerning 
Is'ra-el ;  that  so  thou  mayest  keep  the  law  of  the 

13  Lord  thy  God.  Then  shalt  thou  prosper,  if  thou 
observe  to  do  the  statutes  and  the  judgements  which 
the  Lord  charged  Mo'ses  with  concerning  Is'ra-el : 
be  strong,  and  of  good   courage ;   fear  not,  neither 

14  be  dismayed.  Now,  behold,  in  my  'affliction  I  have 
prepared  for  the  house  of  the  Lord  an  hundred 
thou.sand  talents  of  gold,  and  a  thousand  thousand 
talents  of  silver ;  and  of  brass  and  iron  without 
weight ;  for  it  is  in  abundance .  timber  also  and

hewers  and  ||  workers  of  stone  and  timber,  and  all  manner 
of  cunning  men  for  every  manner  of  work. 

16  Of  the  gold,  the  silver,  and  the  brass,  and  the  iron, 
there  is  no  number.  Arise  therefore,  and  be  doing,  and  'the 
Lord  be  with  thee. 

17  5[Da'vid  also  commanded  all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el  to 
help  Sol'o-mon  his  son,  saying, 

18  Is  not  the  Lord  your  God  with  you?  'and  hath  he  rwt 
given  you  rest  on  every  side  ?  for  he  hath  given  the  in- 
habitants of  the  land  into  mine  hand ;  and  the  land  is  sub- 
dued before  the  Lord,  and  before  his  people. 

1 9  Now  "set  your  heart  and  your  soul  to  seek  the  Lord  your 
God ;  arise  therefore,  and  build  ye  the  sanctuary  of  the  Lord 
God,  to  ■'bring  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
holy  vessels  of  God,  into  the  house  that  is  to  be  built  "to  the 
name  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  XXIII. 

David  in  his  old  age  maketh  Solomon  king. 

SO    when    Da'vid    was   old  and   full  of  days,  he   made 
"Sol'o-mou  his  son  king  over  Is'ra-el. 

2  ^And  he  gathered  together  all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el, 
with  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites. 

3  Now  the  Le'vites  were  numbered  f^om  the  age  of  'thirty 
years  and  upward :  and  their  number  by  their  polls,  man 
by  man,  was  thirty  and  eight  thousand. 

4  Of  which,  twenty  and  four  thoasand  were  ||to  set  for- 
ward the  work  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  ;  and  six  thousand 
were  "^officers  and  judges  : 

5  Moreover  four  thousand  were  porters ;  and  four  thousand 
praised  the  Lord  with  the  instruments  ''which  I  made,  said 
Da'vid,  to  praise  therewith. 

6  And  'Da'vid  divided  them  into  f  courses  among  the  sons 
of  Le'vi,  namely,  Ger'shon,  Ko'hath,  and  Mer'a-ri. 

7  *fTOf  the  -^Ger'shon-ites  were  \\  La'a-dan,  and  Shim'e-i. 

8  The  sons  of  La'a-dan;  the  chief  was  Je-hi'el,  and  Ze'tham, 
and  Jo'el,  three. 

9  ThesonsofShim'e-i;  Shel'o-mith,andHa'zi-el,andHa'ran, 
three.     These  icere  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  La'a-dan. 

10  And  thesons  of  Shim'e-i  were,  Ja'hath,  |1  Zi'na,  and  Je'ush, 
and  Be-ri'ah.     These  four  were  the  sons  of  Shim'e-i. 

1 1  And  Ja'hath  was  the  chief,  and  Zi'zah  the  second :  but 
Je'ush  and  Be-ri'ah  fhad  not  many  sons ;  therefore  they  were 
in  one  reckoning,  according  to  their  father's  house. 

12  VThe  sons  of  Ko'hath;  Am'ram,  Iz'har,  He'bron,  and 
Uz'zi-el,  four. 

13  The  sons  of ''Am'ram;  Aa'ron  and  Mo'ses:  and  'Aa'ron 
was  separated,  that  he  should  sanctify  the  most  holy  things, 
he  and  his  sons  for  ever,  *to  burn  incense  before  the  Lord, 
'to  mini.ster  unto  him,  and  "'to  bless  in  his  name  for  ever. 

14  Now  concerning  Mo'ses  the  man  of  God,  "his  sons  were 
named  of  the  tribe  of  Le'vi. 

1 5  "The  sons  of  Mo'ses  were,  Ger'shom,  and  E-li-e'zer. 

16  Of  the  sons  of  Ger'shom,  "H  Sbeb'u-el  was  the  chief 

17  And  the  sons  of  E-li-e'zer  were,  ''Re-ha-bi'ah  I|  the  chief. 
And  E-li-e'zer  had  none  other  sons;  butthe  sons  of  Re-ha-bi'ah 
f were  verv  many. 

18  Of  the  sons  of  Iz'har;  HShel'o-mith  the  chief 

19  "^Of  the  sons  of  He'bron  ;  Je-ri'ah  the  first,  Am-a-ri'ah 
the  second,  Ja-ha'zi'el  the  third,  and  Jek-a-me'am  the  fourth. 

20  Of  the  sons  of  Uz'zi-el;  Mi'cah  the  first,and  Je-si'ah  the  second. 

21  ^I'The  sons  of  Mer'a-ri;  Mah'li,and  Mu'shi.  The  sons 
of  Mah'li ;  E-le-a'zar,  and  'Kish. 

22  And  E-le-a'zar  died,  and  "had  no  sons,  but  daughters : 
and  their  || brethren  the  sons  of  Kish  'took  them. 

23  "The  sons  of  Mu'shi;  Mah'li,  and  Eder,and  Jer'e-moth,three. 

24  ^These  icere  the  sons  of  'Le'vi  after  the  house  of  their 
lathers;  even  the  chief  of  the  fathers,  as  they  were  counted 
by  number  of  names  by  their  polls,  that  did  the  work  for  the 


15  Moreover  there  are  workmen  with  thee  in  abun- 
dance, hewers  and  workers  of  stone  and  timber,  and 
all  men  that  are  cunning  in  any  manner  of  work ; 

16  of  the  gold,  the  silver,  and  the  brass,  and  the  iron, 
there  is  no   number;  arise  and  be   doing,  and  the 

17  Lord  be  with  thee.     Da'vid  also  commanded  all  the 

frinces  of  Is'ra-el  to  help  Sol'o-mon,  his  son,  saying, 
s  not  the  Lord  your  God  with  you?  and  hath 
he  not  given  you  rest  on  every  side?  for  he  hath 
delivered  the  inhabitants  of  the  land  into  mine 
hand;  and  the  land  is  subdued  before  the  Lord, 
19  and  before  his  people.  Now  set  your  heart 
and  your  soul  to  seek  after  the  Lord  your  God; 
arise  therefore,  and  build  ye  the  sanctuary  of  the 
Lord  God,  to  bring  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  holy  vessels  of  God,  into  the  house 
that  is  to  be  built  to  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

«*5     Now  Da'vid  was  old  and  full  of  days ;  and  he 

2  made  Sol'o-mon  his  son  king  over  Is'ra-el.  And  he 
gathered  together  all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  with  the 

3  priests  and  the  Le'vites.  And  the  Le'vites  were 
numbered  from  thirty  years  old  and  upward:  and 
their  number  by  their  polls,  man  by  man,  was  thirty 

4  and  eight  thousand.  Of  these,  twenty  and  four 
thousand  were  to  oversee  the  work  of  the  house  of 
the    Lord;   and    six  thousand    were   officers    and 

5 judges:  and   four  thousand  were  doorkeepers;  and 
four  thousand   praised  the   Lord  with  the  instru 
ments  which  I  made,  said  Da'vid,  to  praise  there- 

6  with.  And  Da'vid  divided  them  into  'courses 
according  to  the  sons  of  Le'vi ;  Ger'shon,  Ko'hath, 

7  and  Mer'a-ri.     Of  the  Ger'shon-ites ;  ^La'dan  and 

8  Shim'e-i.     The  sons  of  La'dan ;  Je-hi'el  the  chief,  and 

9  Ze'tham,  and  Jo'el,  three.     The  sons  of  Shim'e-i 
Shel'o-moth,  and  Ha'zi-el,  and  Ha'ran,  three.     These 
were  the   heads  of  the  fathers'   houses  of  La'dan 

10  And  the  sons  of  Shim'e-i;  Ja'hath,  'Zi'na,  and  Je'ush, 
and  Be-ri'ah.     These  four  were  the  sons  of  Shim'e-i. 

11  And  Ja'hath  was  the  chief,  and  Zi'zah  the  second : 
but  Je'ush  and  Be-ri'ah  had  not  many  sons ;  there- 
fore they  became  a  fathers'  house  in  one  reckoning. 

12  The  sons  of  Ko'hath;  Am'ram,  Iz'har,  He'bron,  and 
13 Uz'zi-el,  four.     The  sons  of  Am'ram;   Aa'ron  and 

Mo'ses :  and  Aa'ron  was  separated,  *that  he  should 
sanctify  the  most  holy  things,  he  and  his  sons,  for 
ever,  to  burn  incense  before  the  Lord,  to  minister 

14  unto  him,  and  to  bless  in  his  name,  for  ever.  But 
as  for  Mo'ses  the  man  of  God,  his  sons  were  named 

15  among  the  tribe  of  Le'vi.     The  sons  of  Mo'ses ;  Ger'- 

1 6  shorn  and  E-li-e'zer.  The  sons  of  Ger'shom ;  'Sheb'u-el 

1 7  the  chief.  And  the  sons  of  E-li-e'zer  were,  Re-ha-bi'ah 
the  chief.     And  E-li-e'zer  had  none  other  sons ;  but 

18  the  sons  of  Re-ha-bi'ah  were  very  many.     The  sons  of 

19  Iz'har ;  "Shel'o-mith  the  chief.  The  sons  of  He'bron ; 
Je-ri'ah  thechief,  Am-a-ri'ah  the  second,  Ja-ha'zi-el  the 

20  third,  and  Jek-a-me'am  the  fourth.  The  sons  of 
Uz'zi-el;  Mi'cah  the  chief,  and  Is-shi'ah  the  second. 

21  The  sons  of  Mer'a-ri ;  Mah'li  and  Mu'shi.     The  sons 

22  of  Mah'li ;  E-le-a'zar  and  Kish.  And  E-le-a'zar  died, 
and  had   no   sons,  but    daughters   only :  and    their 

23  brethren  the  sons  of  Kish  took  them  to  wife.  The 
sons  of  Mu'shi ;  Mah'li,  and  E'der,  and  Jer'e-moth, 

24  three.  These  were  the  sons  of  Le'vi  after  their 
fathers'  houses,  even  the  heads  of  the  fathers'  houses

unto  his  people,  1 1  that  they  may  dwell  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  ever : 

26  And  also  unto  the  Le' vitas :  they  shall  no  more  ''carry 
the  tabernacle,  nor  any  vessels  of  it  for  the  service  thereof. 

27  For  by  the  last  words  of  Da'vid  the  Le'vites  were  f  num- 
bered from  twenty  years  old  and  above : 

28  Because  ftheir  office  was  to  wait  on  the  sons  of  Aa'ron 
for  the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  in  the  courts,  and 
in  the  chambers,  and  in  the  purifying  of  all  holy  things, 
and  the  work  of  the  service  of  the  house  of  God ; 

29  Both  for  ''the  shewbread,  and  for  'the  fine  flour  for 
meat  offering,  and  for  -'the  unleavened  cakes,  and  for  'that 
which  is  baked  in  the  ||pan,  and  for  that  which  is  fried,  and 
for  all  manner  of  ^measure  and  size; 

30  And  to  stand  every  morning  to  thank  and  praise  the 
Lord,  and  likewise  at  even ; 

31  And  to  offer  all  burnt  sacrifices  unto  the  Lord  *in  the 
sabbaths,  in  the  new  moons,  and  on  the  *set  feasts,  by 
number,  according  to  the  order  commanded  unto  them, 
continually  before  the  Lord: 

32  And  that  they  should  'keep  the  charge  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  congregation,  and  the  charge  of  the  holy  j^Zace,  and  ™the 
charge  of  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  their  brethren,  in  the  service  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

The  division  of  the  sons  of  Aaron  by  lot  into  four  and  twenty  orders. 

NOW  these  are  the  divisions  of  the  sons  of  Aa'ron.     "The 
sonsof  Aaron;  Na'daband  A-bi'hu,E-le-a'zarand  Ith'amar. 

2  But  'Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu  died  before  their  father,  and  had 
no  children  :  therefore  E-le-a'zar  and  Ith'a-mar  executed  the 
priest's  office. 

3  And  Da'vid  di.stributed  them,  both  Za'dok  of  the  sons  of 
E-le-a'zar,  and  A-him'e-lech  of  the  sons  of  Ith'a-mar,  accord- 
ing to  their  offices  in  their  service. 

4  And  there  were  more  chief  men  found  of  the  sons  of 
E-le-a'zar  than  of  the  sons  of  Ith'a-mar ;  and  th%is  were  they 
divided.  Among  the  sons  of  E-le-a'zar  there  were  sixteen 
chief  men  of  the  house  of  their  fathers,  and  eight  among 
the  sons  of  Ith'a-mar  according  to  the  house  of  their  fathers. 

5  Thus  were  they  divided  by  Jot,  one  sort  with  another;  for 
the  governors  of  the  sanctuary,  and  governors  of  the  house  of 
God,were  of  the  sons  of  E-le-a'zar  ,and  of  the  sons  of  Ith'a-mar. 

6  And  Shem-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Ne-than'e-el  the  scribe,  one  of  the 
Le'vites,  wrote  them  before  the  king,  and  the  princes,  and  Za'dok 
the  priest, and  A-him'e-lech  thesonofA-bi'a-thar,and  beforeihe 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  the  priests  and  Le'vites:  one  fprincipal 
hou8eholdbeingtakenforE-le-a'zar,and  one  taken  for  Ith-a'mar. 

7  Now  the  first  lot  came  forth  to  Je-hoi'a-rib,  the  second  to 
Je-da'iah, 

8  The  third  to  Ha'rim,  the  fourth  to  Se-o'rim, 

9  The  fifth  to  Mal-chi'jah,  the  sixth  to  Mij'a-min, 

10  The  seventh  to  Hak'koz,  the  eighth  to  "A-bi'jah, 

11  The  ninth  to  Jesh'u-ah,  the  tenth  to  Shec-a-ni'ah, 

12  The  eleventh  to  E-li'a-shib,  the  twelfth  to  Ja'kim, 

13  ThethirteenthtoHHp'pah,thefourteenth to  Je-sheb'e-ab, 

14  The  fifteenth  to  Bil'gah,  the  sixteenth  to  Im'mer, 

15  The  seventeenth  to  He'zir,  the  eighteenth  to  Aph'ses, 

1 6  The  nineteenth  toPeth-a-hi'ah  ,the  twentieth  to  Je-hez'e-kel, 

17  The  one  and  twentieth  to  Ja'chin,  the  two  and  twentieth 
to  Ga'mul, 

18  The  three  and  twentieth  to  Del-a-i'ah,  the  four  and 
twentieth  to  Ma-a-zi'ah. 

19  These  werethe  orderings  of  them  in  their  service  ''to  come 
into  thehouse  of  the  LoRD,accordingto  their  manner,under  Aa'- 
ron theirfather,a8  the  Lord  Godof  Israel  had  commanded  him.

service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  from  twenty  years 

25  old  and  upward.  For  Da'vid  said,  Tne  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  hath  given  rest  unto  his  people ;  and 

26  he  dwelleth  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  ever :  and  also  the  Le'- 
vites shall  no  more  have  need  to  carry  the  tabernacle 

27  and  all  the  vessels  of  it  for  the  service  thereof.  For 
'by  the  last  words  of  Da'vid  the  sons  of  Le'vi  were 

28  numbered,  from  twenty  years  old  and  upward.  For 
Hheir  office  was  to  wait  on  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  for 
the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  in  the  courts, 
and  in  the  chambers,  and  in  the  purifying  of  all  holy 
things,  even  the  work  of  the  service  of  the  house  of 

29  God ;  for  the  shewbread  also,  and  for  the  fine  flour 
for  a  meal  offering,  whether  of  unleavened  wafers, 
or  of  that  which  is  baked  in  the  pan,  or  of  that  which 
is  soaked,  and  for  all  manner  of  measure  and  size ; 

30  and  to  stand  every  morning  to  thank  and  praise  the 

31  Lord,  and  likewise  at  even ;  and  to  offer  all  burnt 
offerings  unto  the  Lord,  in  the  sabbaths,  iu  the  new 
moons,  and  on  the  set  feasts,  in  number  according 
to    the    ordinance    concerning    them,    continually 

32  before  the  Lord  :  and  that  they  should  keep  the 
charge  of  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  the  charge  of  the 
holy  place,  and  the  charge  of  the  sons  of  Aa'ron 
their  brethren,  for  the  service  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

1^^  And  the  courses  of  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  were  these. 
The  sons  of  Aa'ron;  Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu,E-le-a'zarand 

2  Ith'a-mar.  But  Na'dab  and  A-bi'hu  died  before  their 
fether,  and'  had  no  children  :  therefore  E-le-a'zar  and 

3  Ith'a-mar  executed  the  priest's  office.  ^And  Da'vid 
with  Za'dok  of  the  sons  of  E-le-a'zar,  and  A-him'e-lech 
of  the  sons  of  Ith'a-mar,  divided  them  according  to 

4  their  ordering  in  their  service.  And  there  were  more 
chief  men  found  of  the  sons  of  E-le-a'zar  than  of  the 
sons  of  Ith'a-mar ;  and  thus  were  they  divided :  of 
the  sons  of  E-le-a'zar  there  were  sixteen,  heads  of 
fat-hers'  houses ;  and  of  the  sons  of  Ith'a-mar,  accord- 

5  ing  \o  their  Others'  houses,  eight.  Thus  were  they 
divided  by  lot,  one  sort  with  another;  for  there 
were  princes  of  the  sanctuary  and  princes  of  God, 
both  of  the  sons  of  E-le-a'zar,  and  of  the  sons  of 

6  Ith'a-mar.  And  Shem-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Neth'a-nel  the 
scribe,  who  was  of  the  Le'vites,  wrote  them  in  the 
presence  of  the  king,  and  the  princes,  and  Za'dok 
the  priest,  and  A-him'e-lech  the  son  of  A-bi'a-thar,  and 
the  heads  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  the  priests  and  of 
the   Le'vites :    one   fethers'   house    being   taken   for 

7  E-le-a'zar,  and^one  taken  for  Ith'a-mar.  Now  the  first 
lot  came  forth  to  Je-hoi'a-rib,  the  second  to  Je-da'iah; 

'the  third  to  Ha'rim,  the  fourth  to  Se-o'rim;  the  fifth 

10  to  Mal-chi'jah,  the  sixth  to  Mij'a-min ;  the  seventh  to 

11  Hak'koz,  the  eighth  to  A-bi'jah ;  the  ninth  to  Jesh'u-a, 

12  the  tenth  to  Shec-a-ni'ah ;  the  eleventh  to  E-li'a-shib, 

13  the  twelfth  to  Ja'kim  ;  the  thirteenth  to  Hup'pah,  the 

14  fourteenth  to  Je-sheb'e-ab;  the  fifteenth  to  Bil'gah,  the 
15 sixteenth  to  Im'mer;  the  seventeenth  to  He'zir,  the 

16  eighteenth  to  Hap'piz-zez;  the  nineteenth  to  Peth-a- 

17  hi'ah,  the  twentieth  to  Je-hez'kel ;  the  one  and  twen- 
tieth to  Ja'chin,  the  two  and  twentieth  to  Ga'mul ; 

18  the  three  and  twentieth  to  Del-a-i'ah,  the  four  and 

19  twentieth  to  Ma-a-zi'ah.  This  was  the  ordering  of 
them  in  their  service,  to  come  into  the  hou.se  of  the 
Lord  according  to  the  ordinance  given  unto  them 
by  the  hand  of  Aa'ron  their  father,  as  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  had  commanded  him.

34  And  after  A-hith'o-phel  was  Je-hoi'a-da  the  son  of 
Be-na'iah,  and  'A-bi'a-thar :  and  the  general  of  the  king's 
army  was  'Jo'ab. 

CHAPTER  XXVIII. 

David  encourageth  Solomon  to  build  the  temple. 

AND  Da'vid  assembled  all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  "the 
princes  of  the  tribes,  and  ''thfe  captains  of  the  companies 
that  ministered  to  the  king  by  course,  and  the  captains  over 
the  thousands,  and  captains  over  the  hundreds,  and  "the 
stewards  over  all  the  substance  and  ||  possession  of  the  king, 
||and  of  his  sons,  with  the  || officers,  and  with  ''the  mighty 
men,  and  with  all  the  valiant  men,  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  Then  Da'vid  the  king  stood  up  upon  his  feet,  and  said. 
Hear  me,  my  brethren,  and  my  people :  -4s  for  me,  'I  had 
in  mine  heart  to  build  a  house  of  rest  for  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord,  and  for  ■''the  footstool  of  our  God, 
and  had  made  ready  for  the  building: 

3  But  God  said  unto  me,  "Thou  shalt  not  build  a  house 
for  ray  name,  because  thou  hxist  been  a  man  of  war,  and  hast 
shed  fblood. 

4  Howbeit  the  LoKD  God  of  Is'ra-el  ''chose  me  before  all 
the  house  of  my  father  to  be  king  over  Is'ra-el  for  ever :  for 
he  hath  chosen  'Ju'dah  to  be  the  ruler ;  and  of  the  house-of 
Ju'dah,  *the  house  of  my  father;  and  'among  the  sons  of  my 
father  he  liked  me  to  make  me  king  over  all  Is'ra-el : 

5  '"And  of  all  my  sons,  (for  the  Lord  hath  given  me  many 
sons,)  "he  hath  chosen  Sol'o-mon  my  son  to  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  the  kingdom  of  the  Lord  over  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me,  °Sol'o-mon  thy  son,  he  shall  build 
my  house  and  my  courts :  for  I  have  chosen  him  to  be  my 
son,  and  I  will  be  his  father. 

7  Moreover  I  will  establish  his  kingdom  for  ever,  ^if  he  be 
fconstant  to  do  my  commandments  and  my  judgments,  as 
at  this  day. 

8  Now  therefore,  in  the  sight  of  all  Is'ra-el  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  audience  of  our  God,  keep  and 
seek  for  all  the  commandments  of  the  Lord  your  God:  that 
ye  may  possess  this  good  land,  and  leave  it  for  an  inherit- 
ance for  your  children  after  you  for  ever. 

9  ^And  thou,  Sol'o-mon  my  son,  "know  thou  the  God  of 
thy  father,  and  serve  him  'with  a  perfect  heart,  and  with  a 
willing  mind  :  for  'the  Lord  searcheth  all  hearts,  and  under- 
standeth  all  the  imaginations  of  the  thoughts :  'if  thou  seek 
him,  he  will  be  found  of  thee ;  but  if  thou  forsake  him,  he 
will  cast  thee  off  for  ever. 

10  Take  heed  now;  "for  the  Lord  hath  chosen  thee  to 
build  a  house  for  the  sanctuary  :  be  strong,  and  do  it. 

1 1  %Then  Da'vid  gave  to  Sol'o-mon  his  son  "'the  pattern  of 
the  porch,  and  of  the  houses  thereof,  and  of  the  treasuries 
thereof,  and  of  the  upper  chambers  thereof,  and  of  the  inner 
parlours  thereof,  and  of  the  place  of  the  mercy  seat, 

12  And  the  pattern  fof  all  that  he  had  by  the  Spirit,  of 
the  courts  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  of  all  the  cham- 
bers round  about,  "of  the  treasuries  of  the  house  of  God, 
and  of  the  treasuries  of  the  dedicated  things : 

13  Also  for  the  courses  of  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and 
for  all  the  work  of  the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  for  all  the  vessels  of  service  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

14  He  gave  of  gold  by  weight  for  things  of  gold,  for  all  in- 
struments of  all  manner  of  service  ;  silver  also  for  all  instru- 
ments of  silver  by  weight,  for  all  instruments  of  every  kind 
of  service : 

15  Even  the  weight  for  the  candlesticks  of  gold,  and  for 
their  lamps  of  gold,  by  weight  for  every  candlestick,  and 
for  the  lamps  thereof:  and  for  the  candlesticks  of  silver  by 
weight,  both  for  the  candlestick,  and  also  for  the  lamps 
thereof,  according  to  the  use  of  every  candlestick. 

16  And  by  weight  Ae  gave  gold  for  the  tables  of  shewbread, 
for  every  table ;  and  likewise  silv6r  for  the  tables  of  silver : 


34  and  after  A-hith'o-phel  was  Je-hoi'a-da  the  son  of 
Be-na'iah,  and  A-bi'a-thar:  and  the  captain  of  the 
king's  host  was  Jo'ab. 

^O  And  Da'vid  assembled  all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,the 
princes  of  the  tribes,  and  the  captains  of  the  compa- 
nies that  served  the  king  by  course,  and  the  captains 
of  thousands,  and  the  captains  of  hundreds,  and  the 
rulers  over  all  the  substance  and  'possessions  of  the 
king  and  of  his  sons,  with  the  ^officers,  and  the 
mighty    men,  even  all  the    mighty  men  of  valour, 

2  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Then  Da'vid  the  king  stood  up 
upon  his  feet,  and  said.  Hear  me,  my  brethren,  and 
my  people :  as  for  me,  it  was  in  mine  heart  to  build 
an  house  of  rest  for  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  and  for  the  footstool  of  onr  God ;  and  I  had 

3  made  ready  for  the  building.  But  God  said  unto 
me.  Thou  shalt  not  build  an  house  for  my  name, 
because  thou  art  a  man  of  war,  and  hast  shed  blood. 

4  Howbeit  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  chose  me  out 
of  all  the  house  of  my  father  to  be  king  over  Is'ra-el 
for  ever:  for  he  hath  chosen  Ju'dah  to  be  'prince; 
and  in  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  the  house  of  my  father ; 
and  among  the  sons  of  my  father  he  took  pleasure 

5  in  me  to  make  me  king  over  all  Is'ra-el :  and  of  all 
my  sons,  (for  the  Lord  hath  given  me  many  sons,)  he 
hath  chosen  Sol'o-mon  my  son  to  sit  upon  the  throne 

6  of  the  kingdom  of  the  Lord  over  Is'ra-el.  And  he 
said  unto  me,  Sol'o-mon  thy  son,  he  shall  build  my 
house  and  my  courts:  for  I  have  chosen  him  to  be 

7  my  son,  and  I  will  be  his  father.  And  I  will  estab- 
lish his  kingdom  for  ever,  if  he  be  constant  to  do 
my  commandments  and  my  judgements,  as  at  this 

8  day.  Now  therefore,  in  the  sight  of  all  Is'ra-el,  the 
congregation  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  audience  of 
our  God,  observe  and  seek  out  all  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord  your  God :  that  ye  may  possess 
this   good  land,   and  leave  it  for  an  inheritance  to 

9  your  children  after  you  for  ever.  And  thou,  Sol'o- 
mon  my  son,  know  thou  the  God  of  thy  father,  and 
serve  him  with  a  perfect  heart  and  with  a  willing 
mind  :  for  the  Lord  searcheth  all  hearts,  and  under- 
standeth  all  the  imaginations  of  the  thoughts:  if 
thou  seek  him,  he  will  be  found  of  thee;  but  if  thou 

10  forsake  him,  he  will  cast  thee  off  for  ever.  Take 
heed  now ;  for  the  Lord  hath  chosen  thee  to  build 
an  house  for  the  sanctuary :  be  strong,  and  do  it. 

11  Then  Da'vid  gave  to  Sol'o-mon  his  son  the  pattern 
of  the  porch  of  the  temple,  and  of  the  houses  thereof, 
and  of  the  treasuries  thereof,  and  of  the  upper  rooms 
thereof,  and  of  the  inner  chambers  thereof,  and  of 

12 the  ■'place  of  the  mercy-seat:  and  the  pattern  of  all 
that  he  had  ''by  the  spirit,  for  the  courts  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  for  all  the  chambers  round  about, 
for  the  treasuries  of  the  house  of  God,  and  for  the 

13  treasuries  of  the  dedicated  things :  also  for  the  courses 
of  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  for  all  the  work  of 
the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  for  all  the 

14  vessels  of  service  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  of  gold  by 
weight  for  the  vessels  of  gold,  for  all  vessels  of  every 
kind  of  service ;  of  silver  for  all  the  vessels  of  silver  by 

15  weight,  for  all  vessels  of  every  kind  of  service :  by 
weight  also  for  the  candlesticks  of  gold,  and  for  the 
lamps  thereof,  of  gold,  by  weight  for  every  candlestick 
and  for  the  lamps  thereof:  and  for  the  candlesticks  of 
silver,  silver  by  weight  for  every  candlestick  and  for  the 
lamps  thereof,  according  to  the  use  of  every  candle- 

16  stick:  and  the  gold  by  weight  for  the  tables  of  shew- 
bread, for  every  table ;  and  silver  for  the  tables  of  silver :

17  Also  pure  gold  for  the  fleshhooks,  and  the  bowls,  and 
the  cups :  and  for  the  golden  basins  he  gave  gold  by  weight 
for  every  basin ;  and  likewise  silver  by  weight  for  every  basin 
of  silver : 

1 8  And  for  the  altar  of  incense  refined  gold  by  weight ; 
and  gold  for  the  pattern  of  the  chariot  of  the  'cherubim, 
that  spread  out  their  wings,  and  covered  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord. 

19  All  this,  said  David,  "the  Lord  made  me  understand  in 
writing  by  Atshand  upon  me,e»enall  the  works  of  this  pattern. 

20  And  Da'vid  said  to  Sol'o-mon  his  son,  'Be  strong  and 
of  good  courage,  and  do  it :  fear  not,  nor  be  dismayed,  for 
the  Lord  God,  even  my  God,  will  be  with  thee ;  "he  will  not 
&il  thee,  nor  forsake  thee,  until  thou  hast  finished  all  the 
work  for  the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

21  And,  behold,  "^the  courses  of  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites, 
even  they  shall  be  with  thee  for  all  the  service  of  the  house 
of  God :  and  there  shall  be  with  thee  for  all  manner  of  work- 
manship 'every  willing  skilful  man,  for  any  manner  of  serv- 
ice :  also  the  princes  and  all  the  people  ivill  be  wholly  at 
thy  commandment. 

CHAF'TER  XXIX. 

David^s  thanksgiving  and  prayer — His  reign  and  death, 

FURTHERMORE  Da'vid  the  king  said  unto  all  the  con- 
gregation, Sol'o-mon  ray  son,  whom  alone  God  hath 
chosen,  is  yet  "young  and  tender,  and  the  work  is  great :  for 
the  palace  is  not  for  man,  but  for  the  Lord  God. 

2  Now  1  have  prepared  with  all  ray  might  for  the  house 
of  my  God  the  gold  for  things  to  be  made  of  gold,  and  the 
silver  for  things  of  silver,  and  the  brass  for  things  of  brass, 
the  iron  for  things  of  iron,  and  wood  for  things  of  wood ; 

onyx  stones,  and  stones  to  be  set,  glistering  stones,  and  of 
divers  colours,  and  all  manner  of  precious  stones,  and  mar- 
ble stones  in  abundance. 

3  Moreover,  because  I  have  set  my  affection  to  the  house 
of  my  God,  I  have  of  mine  own  proper  good,  of  gold  and 
silver,  which  I  have  given  to  the  house  of  my  God,  over 
and  above  all  that  I  have  prepared  for  the  holy  house, 

4  Even  three  thousand  talents  of  gold,  of  the  gold  of 
"O'phir,  and  seven  thousand  talents  of  refined  silver  to  over- 
lay the  walls  of  the  houses  withal: 

5  The  gold  for  things  of  gold,  and  the  silver  for  things 
of  silver,  and  for  all  manner  of  work  to  be  made  by  the 
hands  of  artificers.  And  who  then  is  willing  fto  conse- 
crate his  service  this  day  unto  the  Lord? 

6  ^Then  ''the  chief  of  the  fathers  and  princes  of  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  captains  of  thousands  and  of  hundreds, 
with  the  rulers  over  the  king's  work,  offered  willingly, 

7  And  gave,  for  the  service  of  the  house  of  God,  of  gold 
five  thousand  talents  and  ten  thousand  drams,  and  of  silver 
ten  thousand  talents,  and  of  brass  eighteen  thou.sand  talents, 
and  one  hundred  thousand  talents  of  iron. 

8  And  they  with  whom  precious  stones  were  found  gave 
them  to  the  treasure  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  by  the  hand 
of  •'^Je-hi'el  the  Ger'shon-ite. 

9  Then  the  people  rejoiced,  for  that  they  offered  willingly, 
because  with  perfect  heart  they  "offered  willingly  to  the 
Lord  :  and  Da'vid  the  king  also  rejoiced  with  great  joy. 

10  TJ Wherefore  Da'vid  blessed  the  Lord  before  all  the 
congregation :  and  Da'vid  said.  Blessed  be  thou.  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el  our  father,  for  ever  and  ever. 

11  *Thine,  O  Lord,  is  the  greatness,  and  the  power,  and 
the  glory,  and  the  victory,  and  the  majesty :  for  all  that  is 
in  the  heaven  and  in  the  earth  is  thine;  thine  is  the  king- 
dom, O  Lord,  and  thou  art  exalted  as  head  above  all. 

12  *Both  riches  and  honour  come  of  thee,  and  thou 
reignest  over  all ;  and  in  thine  hand  is  power  and  might ; 
and  in  thine  hand  it  is  to  make  great,  and  to  give  strength 
unto  all. 


17  and  the  fleshhooks,  and  the  basons,  and  the  cups, 
of  pure  gold :  and  for  the  golden  bowls  by  weight 
for  every  bowl ;  and  for  the  silver  bowls  by  weight  for 

18  every  bowl:  and  for  the  altar  .of  incense  refined  gold 
by  weight :  and  gold  for  the  pattern  of  the  chariot, 
even  the  cherubim,  that  spread  out  their  wings,  and 

19  covered  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord.  All 
this,  said  Da'vid,  'have  I  been  made  to  understand  in 
writing  from  the  hand  of  the  Lord,  even  all  the  works 

20  of  this  pattern.  And  Da'vid  said  to  Sol'o-mon  his  son. 
Be  strong  and  of  good  courage,  and  do  it :  fear  not,  nor 
be  dismayed :  for  the  Lord  God,  even  my  God,  is 
with  thee ;  he  will  not  fail  thee,  nor  forsake  thee,  until 
all  the  work  for  the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 

21  be  finished.  And,  behold,  there  are  the  courses  of 
the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  for  all  the  service  of  the 
house  of  God :  and  there  shall  be  with  thee  in  all 
manner  of  work  every  willing  man  that  hath  skill, 
for  any  manner  of  service :  also  the  captains  and  all 
the  people  will  be  wholly  at  thy  commandment. 

«v  And  Da'vid  the  king  said  unto  all  the  congrega- 
tion, Sol'o-mon  my  son, whom  alone  God  hath  chosen, 
is.  yet  young  and  tender,  and  the  work  is  great :  for 
the  palace  is  not  for  man,  but  for  the  Lord  God. 

2  Now  I  have  prepared  with  all  my  might  for  the 
house  of  my  God  the  gold  for  the  things  of  gold, 
and  the  silver  for  the  things  of  silver,  and  the  brass 
for  the  things  of  brass,  the  iron  for  the  things  of  iron, 
and  wood  for  the  things  of  wood ;  ^onyx  stones,  and 
stones  to  be  set,  stones  for  inlaid  work,  and  of  divers 
colours,  and  all   manner    of  precious    stones,  and 

3  marble  stones  in  abundance.  Moreover,  also,  because 
I  have  set  my  affection  to  the  house  of  my  God, 
seeing  that  I  have  a  treasure  of  mine  own  of  gold 
and  silver,  I  give  it  unto  the  house  of  my  God,  over 
and  above  all   that  I  have   prepared    for  the  holy 

4  house ;  even  three  thousand  talents  of  gold,  of  the 
gold  of  O'phir,  and  seven  thousand  talents  of  refined 

5 silver,  to  overlay  the  walls  of  the  houses  withal:  of 
gold  for  the  things  of  gold,  and  of  silver  for  the 
things  of  silver,  and  for  all  manner  of  work  to  be 
made  by  the  hands  of  artificers.  Who  then  offereth 
willingly  'to  consecrate   himself  this  day  unto  the 

6  Lord  ?  Then  the  princes  of  the  fathers'  houses,  and 
the  princes  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  captains 
of  thousands  and  of  hundreds,  with  the  rulers  over 

7 the  king's  work,  offered  willingly;  and  they  gave 
for  the  service  of  the  house  of  God  of  gold  five 
thousand  talents  and  ten  thousand  darics,  and  of 
silver  ten  thousand  talents,  and  of  brass  eighteen 
thousand   talents,  and   of  iron  a  hundred  thousand 

8  talents.  And  they  with  whom  precious  stones  were 
found  gave  them  to  the  treasure  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  under  the  hand  of  Je-hi'el  the  Ger'shon-ite. 

9  Then  the  people  rejoiced,  for  that  they  offered  will- 
ingly, because  with  a  perfect  heart  they  offered 
willingly  to  the  Lord  :  and  Da'vid  the  king  also  re- 

lOjoiced  with  great  joy.  Wherefore  Da'vid  blessed  the 
Lord  before  all  the  congregation  :  and  Da'vid  said. 
Blessed  be  thou,  O  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  our  fa- 
ll ther,  for  ever  and  ever.  Thine,  O  Lord,  is  the  great- 
ness, and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  and  the  victory, 
and  the  majesty  :  for  all  that  is  in  the  heaven  and  in 
the  earth  is  thine  ;  thine  is  the  kingdom,  O  Lord,  and 
12  thou  art  exalted  as  head  above  all.  Both  riches  and 
honour  come  of  thee,  and  thou  rulest  over  all ;  and  in 
thine  hand  is  power  and  might ;  and  in  thine  hand 
it  is  to  make  great,  and  to  give  strength  unto  all.

13  Now  therefore,  our  God,  we  thank  thee,  and  praise  thy 
glorious  name. 

14  But  who  am  I,  and  what  is  my  people,  that  we  should 
be  fable  to  offer  so  willingly  after  this  sort?  for  all  things 
come  of  thee,  and  fof  thine  own  have  we  given  thee. 

15  For  *we  are  strangers  before  thee,  and  sojourners,  as 
were  all  our  fathers :  'our  days  on  the  earth  are  as  a  shadow, 
and  there  is  none  fabiding. 

16  O  Lord  our  God,  all  this  store  that  we  have  prepared 
to  build  thee  a  house  for  thine  holy  name  cometh  of  thine 
hand,  and  is  all  thine  own. 

17  1  know  also,  my  God,  that  thou  ""triest  the  heart,  and 
"hast  pleasure  in  uprightness.  As  for  me,  in  the  upright- 
ness of  mine  heart  I  have  willingly  offered  all  these  things : 
and  now  have  I  seen  with  joy  thy  people,which  are  |{  present 
here,  to  offer  willingly  unto  thee. 

18  O  Lord  God  of  A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  of  Is'ra-el,  our 
fathers,keep  this  for  ever  in  the  imagination  of  the  thoughts  of 
the  heart  of  thy  people,  and  ||  prepare  their  heart  unto  thpe : 

19  And  "give  unto  Sol'o-mon  my  son  a  perfect  heart,  to 
keep  thy  commandments,  thy  testimonies,  and  thy  statutes, 
and  to  do  all  these  things,  and  to  build  the  palace,  for  the 
which  "I  have  made  provision. 

20  ^  And  Da'vid  said  to  all  the  congregation,  Now  bless  the 
Lord  your  God.  And  all  the  congregation  blessed  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers,  and  bowed  down  their  heads,  and  wor- 
shipped the  Lord,  and  the  king. 

21  And  they  sacrificed  sacrifices  unto  the  Lord,  and  offered 
burnt  offerings  unto  the  Lord,  on  the  morrow  after  that 
day,  even  a  thousand  bullocks,  a  thousand  rams,  and  a  thou- 
sand lambs,  with  their  drink  offerings,  and  sacrifices  in 
abundance  for  all  Is'ra-el : 

22  And  did  eat  and  drink  before  the  Lord  on  that  day  with 
great  gladness.  And  they  made  Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid 
king  the  second  time,  and  "anointed  him  unto  the  Lord  to  be 
the  chief  governor,  and  Za'dok  to  be  priest. 

23  Then  Sol'o-mon  sat  on  the  throne  of  the  Lord  as  king  instead 
of  Da'vid  his  father,and  prospered;  and  all  Is'ra-el  obeyedhim. 

2-4  And  all  the  princes,  and  the  mighty  men,  and  all  the 
sons  likewise  of  king  Da'vid,  '■fsubmitted  themselves  unto 
Sol'o-mon  the  king. 

25  And  the  Lord  magnified  Sol'o-mon  exceedingly  in  the 
sight  of  all  Is'ra-el,  and  'bestowed  upon  him  such  royal  majesty 
as  had  not  been  on  any  king  before  him  in  Is'ra-el. 

26  ^Thus  Da'vid  the  son  of  Jes'se  reigned  over  all  Is'ra-el. 

27  'And  the  time  that  he  reigned  over  Is'ra-el  was  forty 
years;  "seven  years  reigned  he  in  Heb'ron,  and  thirty  and 
three  years  reigned  he  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

28  And  he  "'died  in  a  good  old  age,  "full  of  days,  riches, 
and  honour :  and  Sol'o-mon  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

29  Now  the  acts  of  Da'vid  the  king,  first  and  last,  behold,  they 
are  written  in  the  Hfbook  of  Sam'u-el  the  seer,  and  in  the 
book  of  Na'than  the  prophet,  and  in  the  book  of  Gad  the  seer,

2  Then  Sol'o-mon  spake  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  to  ''the  captains  of 
thousands  and  of  hundreds,  and  to  the  judges,  and  to  every 
governor  in  all  Is'ra-el,  the  chief  of  the  fathers. 

3  So  Sol'o-mon,  and  all  the  congregation  with  him,  went 
to  the  high  place  that  was  at  "Gib'e-on;  for  there  was  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation  of  God,  which  Mo'ses  the 
servant  of  the  Lord  had  made  in  the  wilderness. 

4  ■''Bat  the  ark  of  God  had  Da'vid  brought  up  from  Kir'- 
jath-je'a-rim  to  the  place  which  Da'vid  had  prepared  for  it: 
for  he  had  pitched  a  tent  for  it  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  Moreover  "the  brazen  altar  that  *Be-zal'e-el  the  son  of 
U'ri,  the  son  of  Hur,  had  made,  ||he  put  before  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  LoE£> :  and  Sol'o-mon  and  the  congregation 
sought  unto  it. 

6  And  Sol'o-mon  went  up  thither  to  the  brazen  altar  before 
the  Lord,  which  was  at  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
and  'offered  a  thousand  burnt  offerings  upon  it. 

7  ^*In  that  night  did  God  appear  unto  Sol'o-mon,  and 
said  unto  him.  Ask  what  I  shall  give  thee. 

8  And  Sol'o-mon  said  unto  God,  Thou  hast  shewed  great 
mercy  unto  Da'vid  my  father,  and  hast  made  me  'to  reign 
in  his  stead. 

9  Now,  O  Lord  God,  let  thy  promise  unto  Da'vid  my 
father  be  established:  ""for  thou  hast  made  me  king  over  a 
people  flike  the  dust  of  the  earth  in  multitude. 

10  "Give  me  now  wisdom  and  knowledge,  that  I  may  "go 
out  and  come  in  before  this  people:  for  who  can  judge 
this  thy  people,  that  is  so  great? 

11  "And  God  said  to  Sol'o-mon,  Because  this  was  in  thine 
heart,  and  thou  hast  not  asked  riches,  wealth,  or  honour, 
nor  the  life  of  thine  enemies,  neither  yet  hast  asked  long 
life ;  but  hast  asked  wisdom  and  knowledge  for  thyself,  that 
thou  mayest  judge  my  people,  over  whom  I  have  made 
thee  king: 

12  Wisdom  and  knowledge  is  granted  unto  thee;  and  I 
will  give  thee  riches,  and  wealth,  and  honour,  such  as  'none 
of  the  kings  have  had  that  have  been  before  thee,  neither 
shall  there  any  after  thee  have  the  like. 

13  ^Then  Sol'o-mon  came  from  his  jourvey  to  the  high 
place  that  was  at  Gib'e-on  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  from  before  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and  reigned  over  Is'ra-el. 

14  ""And  Sol'o-mon  gathered  chariots  and  horsemen :  and 
he  had  a  thousand  and  four  hundred  chariots,  and  twelve 
thousand  horsemen,  which  he  placed  in  the  chariot  cities, 
and  with  the  king  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  'And  the  king  fmade  silver  and  gold  at  Je-ru'sa-lem 
as  pUrdeous  as  stones,  and  cedar  trees  made  he  as  the  syca- 
more trees  that  are  in  the  vale,  for  abundance. 

16  'And  f  Sol'o-mon  had  horses  brought  out  of  E'gypt, 
and  linen  yarn :  the  king's  merchants  received  the  lineu 
yarn  at  a  price. 

17  And  they  fetched  up,  and  brought  forth  out  of  E'gypt 
a  chariot  for  six  hundred  shekels  of  silver,  and  a  horse  for 
a  hundred  and  fifty :  and  so  brought  they  out  horses  for 
all  the  kings  of  the  Hit'tites,  and  for  the  kings  of  Syr'i-a, 
fby  iheir  means. 

CHAPTER  II. 

Solomon's  labourers  /or  the  building  of  the  temple 

AND   Sol'o-mon  "determined  to   build   a  house  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  a  house  for  his  kingdom. 

2  And  'Sol'o-mon  told  out  threescore  and  ten  thousand  men 
to  bear  burdens,  and  fourscore  thousand  to  hew  in  the  mount- 
ain, amd  three  thousand  and  six  hundred  to  oversee  them. 

3  ^And  Sol'o-mon  sent  to  ||  Hu'ram  the  king  of  Tyre, 
saying,  'As  thou  didst  deal  with  Da'vid  my  father,  and  didst 
send  him  cedars  to  build  him  a  house  to  dwell  therein, 
enen  so  deal  with  me. 

4  Behold,''I  build  a  house  to  the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God, 
to  dedicate  it  to  him,  amd  'to  burn  before  him  fsweet  incense. 


2  And  Sol'o-mon  spake  unto  all  Is'ra-el,  to  the  captains 
of  thousands  and  of  hundreds,  and  to  the  judges, 
and  to  every  prince  in  all  Is'ra-el,  the  heads  of  the 

3  fathers'  houses.  So  Sol'o-mon,  and  all  the  congrega- 
tion with  him,  went  to  the  high  place  that  was  at  Gib'- 
e-on ;  for  there  was  the  tent  of  meeting  of  God,  which 
Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord  had  made  in  the 

4  wilderness.  But  the  ark  of  God  had  Da'vid  brought 
up  from  Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim  to  the  place  that  Da'vid 
had  prepared  for  it :  for  he  had  pitched  a  tent  for  it  at 

5  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Moreover  the  brasen  altar,  that  Bez'a-lel 
the  son  of  U'ri,  the  sou  of  Hur,  had  made, 'was  there 
before  the  tabernacle  of  the  Lord  :  and  Sol'o-mon 

6  and  the  congregation  sought  unto  it.  And  Sol'o- 
mon  ^went  lip  thither  to  the  brasen  altar  before  the 
Lord,  which  was  at  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  offered 
a  thousand  burnt  offerings  upon  it. 

7  ^In  that  night  did  God  appear  unto  Sol'o-mon,  and 

8  said  unto  him.  Ask  what  I  shall  give  thee.  And 
Sol'o-mon  said  unto  God,  Thou  hast  shewed  great 
kindness  unto  Da'vid  my  father,  and  hast  made  me 

9  king  in  his  stead.  Now,  O  Lord  God,  let  thy 
promise  unto  Da'vid  my  father  be  established:  for 
thou  hast  made  me  king  over  a  people  like  the  dust 

10  of  the  earth  in  multitude.  Give  me  now  wisdom 
and  knowledge,  that  I  may  go  out  and  come  in  be- 
fore this  people :  for  who  can  judge  this  thy  people, 

11  that  is  so  great?  And  God  said  to  Sol'o-mon,  Be- 
cause this  was  in  thine  heart,  and  thou  oast  not 
asked  riches,  wealth,  or  honour,  nor  the  lite  of  them 
that  hate  thee,  neither  yet  hast  asked  long  life ;  but 
hast  asked  wisdom  and  knowledge  for  thyself,  that 
thou  mayest  judge  my  people,  over  whom  I  have 

12 made  thee  king:  wisdom  and  knowledge  is  granted 
unto  thee ;  and  I  will  give  thee  riches,  and  wealth, 
and  honour,  such  as  none  of  the  kings  have  had 
that  have  been  before  thee,  neither  shall  there  any 

13  after  thee  have  the  like.  So  Sol'o-mon  *came  from 
his  journey  to  the  high  place  that  was  at  Gib'e-on, 
from  before  the  tent  of  meeting,  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
and  he  reigned  over  Is'ra-el. 

14  ''And  Sol'o-mon  gathered  chariots  and  horsemen : 
and  he  had  a  thousand  and  four  hundred  chariots, 
and  twelve  thousand  horsemen,  which  he  placed  in 
the  chariot  cities,  and  with  the  king  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  And  the  king  made  silver  and  gold  to  be  in  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  as  stones,  and  cedars  made  he  to  be  as  the  syco- 
more  trees  that  are  in  the  lowland,  for  abundance. 

1 6  And  the  horses  which  Sol'o-mon  had  were  brought 
out  of  E'gypt;  the  king's  merchants  received  them 

17  in  droves,  each  drove  at  a  price.  And  they  fetched 
up,  and  brought  out  of  E'gypt  a  chariot  for  six 
hundred  shekels  of  silver,  and  an  horse  for  an  hun- 
dred and  fifty:  and  so  for  all  the  kings  of  the  Hit'- 
tites, and  the  kings  of  Syr'i-a,  did  they  bring  them 
out  by  their  means. 

^  Now  Sol'omon  purposed  to  build  an  house  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  and  an  house  for  his  kingdom. 

2  And  Sol'o-mon  told  out  threescore  and  ten  thousand 
men  to  bear  burdens,  and  fourscore  thousand  men 
that  were  hewers  in  the  mountains,  and  three  thou- 

3  sand  and  six  hundred  to  oversee  them.  And  Sol'o- 
mon  sent  te^Hu'ramthe  king  of  Tyre,  saying,  As  thou 
didst  deal  with  Da'vid  ray  father,  and  didst  send 
him  cedars  to  build  him  an  house  to  dwell  therein, 

A  even  so  deal  with  me.  Behold,  I  build  an  house  for 
the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God,  to  dedicate  it  to 
him,  and  to  burn  before  him  incense  of  sweet  spices,

moons,  and  on  the  solemn  feasts  of  the  LoRD  our  God.  This 
is  an  ordinance  for  ever  to  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  the  house  which  I  build  is  great :  for  *great  is  our 
God  above  all  gods. 

6  'But  who  fis  able  to  build  him  a  house,  seeing  the 
heaven  and  heaven  of  heavens  can  not  contain  him?  who 
am  I  then  that  I  should  build  him  a  house,  save  only  to 
burn  sacrifice  before  him  ? 

7  Send  me  now  therefore  a  man  cunning  to  work  in  gold, 
and  in  silver,  and  in  brass,  and  in  iron,  and  in  purple,  and 
crimson,  and  blue,  and  that  can  skill  fto  grave  with  the 
cunning  men  that  are  with  me  in  Ju'dah  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
'whom  Da'vid  my  father  did  provide. 

8  'Send  me  also  cedar  trees,  fir  trees,  and  ||algum  trees, 
out  of  Leb'a-non  :  for  I  know  that  thy  servants  can  skill  to 
cut  timber  in  Leb'a-non ;  and,  behold,  my  servants  shall  be 
with  thy  servants, 

9  Even  to  prepare  me  timber  in  abundance :  for  the  house 
which  I  am  about  to  build  shall  be  fwonderful  great. 

10  "And,  behold,  I  will  give  to  thy  servants,  the  hewers 
that  cut  timber,  twenty  thousand  measures  of  beaten 
wheat,  and  twenty  thousand  measures  of  barley,  and  twenty 
thousands  baths  of  wine,  and  twenty  thousand  baths  of  oil. 

11  ^Then  Hu'ram  the  king  of  Tyre  answered  in  writing, 
which  he  sent  to  Sol'omon,  "Because  the  Lord  hath  loved 
his  people,  he  hath  made  thee  king  over  them. 

12  Hu'ram  said  moreover,  "Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  "that  made  heaven  and  earth,  who  hath  given  to 
Da'vid  the  king  a  wise  son,  fendued  with  prudence  and 
understanding,  that  might  build  a  house  for  the  Lord,  and 
a  house  for  his  kingdom. 

13  And  now  I  have  sent  a  cunning  man,  endued  with 
understanding,  of  Hu'ram  my  father's, 

14  «The  son  of  a  woman  of  the  daughters  of  Dan,  and 
his  father  was  a  man  of  Tyre,  skilful  to  work  in  gold,  and

in  blue,  and  in  fine  linen,  and  in  crimson ;  also  to  grave  any 
manner  of  graving,  and  to  find  out  every  device  which  shall 
be  put  to  him,  with  thy  cunning  men,  and  "with  the  cunning 
men  of  my  lord  Da'vid  thy  father. 

15  Now  therefore  the  wheat,  and  the  barley,  the  oil,  and 
the  wine  which  'my  lord  hath  spoken  of,  let  him  send  unto 
his  servants : 

16  'And  we  will  cut  wood  out  of  Leb'a-non,  fas  much  as 
thou  shalt  need :  and  we  will  bring  it  to  thee  in  floats  by  sea 
to  t Jop'pa ;  and  thou  shalt  carry  it  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

17  li 'And  Sol'o-mon  numbered  all  fthe  strangers  that  were 
in  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  after  the  numbering  wherewith  "Da'vid 
his  father  had  numbered  them  ;  and  they  were  found  a  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand  and  three  thousand  and  six  hundred. 

18  And  he  set  ''threescore  and  ten  thousand  of  them  to  be 
bearers  of  burdens,  and  fourscore  thousand  to  be  hewers  in 
the  mountain,  and  three  thousand  and  six  hundred  over- 
seers to  set  the  people  awork. 

CHAPTER   III. 

The  place  and  time  of  building  the  temple. 

THEN  °Sol'o-mon  began  to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord  at 
'Je-ru'sa-lem  in  mount  Mo-ri'ah,  ||  where  the  ioisi)  ap- 
peared unto  Da'vid  his  father,  in  the  place  that  Da'vid  had 
prqiared  in  the  threshingfloor  of  °||  Or'nan  the  Jeb'u-site. 

2  And  he  began  to  build  in  the  second  day  of  the  secoiid 
month,  in  the  fourth  year  of  his  reign. 

3  ^Now  these  are  the  things  ''wherein  Sol'o-mon  was  fin- 
structed  for  the  building  of  the  house  of  God.  The  length 
by  cubits  after  the  first  measure  was  threescore  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  twenty  cubits. 


and  for  the  continual  shewbread,  and  for  the  burnt 
offerings  morning  and  evening,  on  the  sabbaths,  and 
on  the  new  moons,  and  on  the  set  feasts  of  the  Lord 
our  God.     This  is  an  ordinamee  for  ever  to  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  the  house  which  I  build  is  great :  for  great  is 

6  our  God  above  all  gods.  But  who  'is  able  to  build 
him  an  house,  seeing  the  heaven  and  the  heaven  of 
heavens  can  not  contain  him  ?  who  am  I  then,  that  I 
should  build  him  an   house,  save  only  to  bum  in- 

7 cense  before  him?  Now  therefore  send  me  a  man 
cunning  to  work  in  gold,  and  in  silver,  and  in  brass, 
and  in  iron,  and  in  purple,  and  crimson,  and  blue, 
and  that  can  skill  to  grave  all  manner  of  gravings, 
to  be  with  the  cunning  men  that  are  with  me  in 
Ju'dah  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  whom  Da'vid  my  father 

8  did  provide.  Send  me  also  cedar  trees,  ^fir  trees, 
and  ^algum  trees,  out  of  Leb'a-non  :  for  I  know  that 
thy  servants  can  skill  to  cut  timber  in  Leb'a-non :  and 

9  behold,  my  servants  shall  be  Avith  thy  servants,  even 
to  prepare  me  timber  in  abundance :  for  the  house 
which  I  am  about  to  build  shall  be  wonderful  great. 

10  And,  behold,  I  will  give  to  thy  servants,  the  hewers 
that  cut  timber,  twenty  thousand  ^measures  of  beaten 
wheat,  and  twenty  thousand  ^measures  of  barley, 
and  twenty  thousand   baths   of  wine,  and    twenty 

11  thousand  baths  of  oil.  Then  Hu'ram  the  king  of 
Tyre  answered  in  writing,  which  he  sent  to  Sol'o- 
mon, Because  the  Lord  loveth  his  people,  he  hath 

12  made  thee  king  over  them.  Hu'ram  said  moreover, 
Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  that  made 
heaven  and  earth,  who  hath  given  to  Da'vid  the 
king  a  wise  son,  endued  with  discretion  and  under- 
standing, that  should  build  an  house  for  the  Lord, 

13  and  an  house  for  his  kingdom.  And  now  I  have 
sent  a  cunning  man,  endued  with  understanding,  ''of 

14  Hu'ram  my  fether's,  'the  son  of  a  woman  of  the 
daughters  of  Dan,  and  his  father  was  a  man  of  Tyre, 
skilful  to  work  in  gold,  and  in  silver,  in  brass,  in 
iron,  in  stone,  and  in  timber,  in  purple,  in  blue,  and  in 
fine  linen,  and  in  crimson ;  also  to  grave  any  man- 
ner of  graving,  and  to  devise  any  device :  that  there 
may  be  a  place  appointed  unto  him  with  thy  cun- 
ning men,  and  with  the  cunning  men  of  my  lord 

15  Da'vid  thy  father.  Now  therefore  the  wheat  and 
the  barley,  the  oil  and  the  wine,  which  my  lord  hath 

16  spoken  of,  let  him  send  unto  his  servants:  and  we 
will  cut  wood  out  of  Leb'a-non,  as  much  as  thou 
shalt  need :  and  we  will  bring  it  to  thee  in  floats  by 
sea  to  ^Jop'pa;  and  thou  shalt  carry  it  up  to  Je-ru'sa- 

171em.  And  Sol'o-mon  numbered  all  the  strangers 
that  were  in  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  after  the  numbering 
wherewith  Da'vid  his  father  had  numbered  them; 
and  they  were  found  an  hundred  and  fifty  thousand 

18  amd  three  thousand  and  six  hundred.  *And  he  set 
threescore  and  ten  thousand  of  them  to  bear  bur- 
dens, and  fourscore  thousand  that  were  hewers  in 
the  mountains,  and  three  thousand  and  six  hundred 
overseers  to  set  the  people  awork. 

O  'Then  Sol'o-mon  began  to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord 
at  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  mount  Mo-ri'ah,  where  the  Lord  ap- 
peared unto  Da' vidhis  father, '"which  he  made  ready  "in 
the  place  that  Da'vid  had  appointed,  in  the  threshing- 

2  floor  of '^Or'nan  the  Jeb'u-site.  And  he  began  to  build 
in  the  second  day  of  the  second  month,  in  the  fourth 

3  year  of  his  reign.  Now  '*these  are  the  foundations 
which  Sol'o-mon  laid  for  the  building  of  the  house 
of  God.  The  length  by  cubits  after  the  first  measure 
was  threescore  cubits,  and  the  breadth  twenty  cubits.

4  And  the  'porch  that  was  in  the  front  of  the  house,  the 
length  of  it  was  according  to  the  breadth  of  the  house, 
twenty  cubits,  and  the  height  was  a  hundred  and  twenty : 
and  he  overlaid  it  within  with  pure  gold. 

5  And  ■'^the  greater  house  he  ceiled  with  fir  tree,  which  he 
overlaid  with  fine  gold,  and  set  thereon  palm  trees  and  chains. 

6  And  he  fgarnished  the  house  with  pfeoious  stones  for 
beauty :  and  the  gold  was  gold  of  Par-va'im. 

7  He  overlaid  also  the  house,  the  beams,  the  posts,  and 
the  walls  thereof,  and  the  doors  thereof,  with  gold ;  and 
graved  cherubim  on  the  walls. 

8  And  he  made  the  most  holy  house,  the  length  whereof  wa« 
according  to  the  breadth  of  the  house,  twenty  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  thereof  twenty  cubits :  and  he  overlaid  it  with  fine 
gold,  amounting  to  six  hundred  talents. 

9  And  the  weight  of  the  nails  was  fifty  shekels  of  gold. 
And  he  overlaid  the  upper  chambers  with  gold. 

10  "And  in  the  most  holy  house  he  made  two  cherubim 
II  of  image  work,  and  overlaid  them  with  gold. 

11  ^And  the  wings  of  the  cherubim  were  twenty  cubits 
long:  one  wing  of  the  one  cherub  was  five  cubits,  reaching 
to  the  wall  of  the  house  :  and  the  other  wing  was  likewise 
five  cubits,  reaching  to  the  wing  of  the  other  cherub. 

12  And  one  wing  of  the  other  cherub  was  five  cubits, 
reaching  to  the  wall  of  the  house :  and  the  other  wing  was 
five  cubits  also,  joining  to  the  wing  of  the  other  cherub. 

13  The  wings  of  these  cherubim  spread  themselves  forth 
twenty  cubits :  and  they  stood  on  their  feet,  and  their  faces 
were  ||  inward. 

14  •jJAnd  he  made  the  *veil  of  blue,  and  purple,  and  crim- 
son, and  fine  linen,  and  fwrought  cherubim  thereon. 

15  Also  he  made  before  the  house  'two  pillars  of  thirty 
and  five  cubits  t^igb,  and  the  chapiter  that  was  on  the  top 
of  each  of  them  was  five  cubits. 

16  And  he  made  chains,  as  in  the  oracle,  and  put  them  on 
the  heads  of  the  pillars ;  and  made  *a  hundred  pomegran- 
ates, and  put  them  on  the  chains. 

17  And  he  'reared  up  the  pillars  before  the  temple,  one 
on  the  right  hand,  and  the  other  on  the  left;  and  called  the 
name  of  that  on  the  right  hand  ||Ja'chin,  and  the  name  of 
that  on  the  left  ||  Bo'az. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

The  altar  of  brass  and  ornaments  for  the  house, 

MOREOVER  he  made  "an  altar  of  brass,  twenty  cubits 
the    length    thereof,  and  twenty    cubits    the   breadth 
thereof,  and  ten  cubits  the  height  thereof. 

2  ^'Also  he  made  a  molten  sea  of  ten  cubits  ffrom  brim 
to  brim,  round  in  compass,  and  five  cubits  the  height  there- 
of; and  a  line  of  thirty  cubits  did  compass  it  round  about. 

3  "And  under  it  was  the  similitude  of  oxen,  which  did 
compass  it  round  about :  ten  in  a  cubit,  compassing  the  sea 
round  about.     Two  rows  of  oxen  were  cast,  when  it  was  cast. 

4  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen,  three  looking  toward  the  north, 
and  three  looking  toward  the  west,  and  three  looking  toward 
the  south,  and  three  looking  toward  the  east:  and  the  sea  was 
set  above  upon  them,  and  all  their  hinder  parts  were  inward. 

5  And  the  thickness  of  it  was  a  handbreadth,  and  the 
brim  of  it  like  the  work  of  the  brim  of  a  cup,  ||  with  flowers 
of  lilies;  and  it  received  and  held  ''three  thousand  baths. 

6  ^He  made  also  'ten  lavers,  and  put  five  on  the  right 
hand,  and  five  on  the  left,  to  wash  in  them :  fsuch  things 
as  they  offered  for  the  burnt  offering  they  washed  in  them ; 
but  the  sea  was  for  the  priests  to  wash  in. 

7  -^And  he  made  ten  candlesticks  of  gold  "according  to 
their  form,  and  set  them  in  the  temple,  five  on  the  right 
hand,  and  five  on  the  left. 

8  ''He  made  also  ten  tables,  and  placed  them  in  the  temple, 
five  on  the  right  side,  and  five  on  the  left.  And  he  made 
a  hundred  ||  basins  of  gold. 


4  And  the  porch  that  was  before  the  house,  the  length 
of  it,  according  to  the  breadth  of  the  house,  was 
twenty  cubits, and  the  height  an  hundred  and  twenty 

5  and  he  overlaid  it  within  with  pure  gold.  And  the 
greater  house  he  cieled  with  'fir  tree,  which  he  over- 
laid with  fine  gold,  and  wrought  thereon  palm  trees 

6  and  chains.  And  he  garnished  the  house  with  pre- 
cious stones  for  beauty  :   and  the  gold  was  gold  of 

7  Par-va'im.  He  overlaid  also  the  house,  the  beams, 
the  thresholds,  and  the  walls  thereof,  and  the  doors 
thereof,  with  gold ;  and  graved  cherubim  on  the  walls. 

8  And  he  made  the  most  holy  house;  the  length  there- 
of, according  to  the  breadth  of  the  house,  was  twenty 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof  twenty  cubits:  and 
he  overlaid  it  with  fine  gold,  amounting  to  six  hun 

9  dred  talents.  And  the  weight  of  the  nails  was  fifty 
shekels  of  gold.     And  he  overlaid  the  upper  cham 

lObers  with  gold.  And  in  the  most  holy  house  he 
made  two  cherubim  of  image  work ;  and  they  over 

11  laid  them  with  gold.  And  the  wings  of  the  cheru- 
bim were  twenty  cubits  long :  the  wing  of  the  one 
cherub  was  five  cubits,  reaching  to  the  wall  of  the 
house;  and  the  other  wing  was  likewise  five  cubits, 

12  reaching  to  the  wing  of  the  other  cherub.  And  the 
wing  of  the  other  cherub  was  five  cubits,  reaching 
to  the  wall  of  the  house:  and  the  other  wing  was 
five  cubits    also,  joining  to  the  wing  of  the  other 

13  cherub.     The  wings  of  these  cherubim  spread  them 
selves  forth  twenty  cubits:  and  they  stood  on  their 

14  feet,  and  their  faces  were  ^toward  the  house.  And 
he  made  the  veil  of  blue,  and  purple,  and  crimson, 
and    fine    linen,    and    wrought    cherubim   thereon. 

15^Also  he  made  before  the  house  two  pillars  of  thirty 
and  five  cubits  high,  and  the  chapiter  that  was  on 

16  the  top  of  each  of  them  was  five  cubits.  And  he 
made  chains  in  the  oracle,  and  put  them  on  the  tops 
of  the  pillars ;  and  he  made  an  hundred  pomegran 

17ates,  and  put  them  on  the  chains.     ^And  he  set  up 

the  pillars  before  the  temple,  one  on  the  right  hand, 

and  the  other  on  the  left;    and  called   the  name  of 

t  that  on  the  right  hand  ^Ja'chin,  and  the  name  of  that 

^  on  the  left  ^Bo'az.  Moreover  he  made  an  altar  of 
brass,  twenty  ctibits  the  length  thereof,  and  twenty 
cubits  the  breadth  thereof,  and  ten  cubits  the  height 

2  thereof.  ^Also  he  made  the  molten  sea  of  ten  cubits 
from  brim  to  brim,  round  in  compass,  and  the  height 
thereof  was  five  cubits ;  and  a  line  of  thirty  cubits 

3  compassed  it  round  about.  And  under  it  was  the 
similitude  of  'oxen,  which  did  compass  it  round 
about,  'for  ten  cubits,  compassing  the  sea  round 
about.     The  'oxen  were  in  two  rows,  cast  when   it 

4  was  cast.  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen,  three  looking 
toward  the  north,  and  three  looking  toward  the 
west,  and  three  looking  toward  the  south,  and  three 
looking  toward  the  east:  and  the  sea  was  set  upon 
them  above,  and  all  their  hinder  parts  were  inward. 

5  And  it  was  an  handbreadth  thick ;  and  the  brim 
thereof  was  wrought  like  the  brim  of  a  cup,  like  the 
flower  of  a  lily:  it  received  and  held  three  thousand 

6  baths.  He  made  also  ten  lavers,  and  put  five  on  the 
right  hand,  and  five  on  the  left,  to  wash  in  them;  such 
things  as  belonged  to  the  burnt  offering  they  washed 
in  them :  but  the  sea  was  for  the  priests  to  wash  in. 

7  And  he  made  the  ten  candlesticks  of  gold  according 
to  the  ordinance  concerning  them;  and  he  set  them 
in  the  temple,  five  on  the  right  hand,  and  five  on 

8  the  left.  He  made  also  ten  tables,  and  placed  them 
in  the  temple,  five  on  the  right  side,  and  five  on  the 
left.     And  he  made   an   hundred   basons   of  gold.  I

9  ^Furthermore  'he  made  the  court  of  the  priests,  and  the 
great  court,  and  doors  for  the  court,  and  overlaid  the  doors 
of  them  with  brass. 

10  And  'he  set  the  sea  on  the  right  side  of  the  east  end, 
over  against  the  south. 

11  And  'Hu'ram  made  the  pots,  and  the  shovels,  and  the 
II  basins.  And  Hu'ram  ffinished  the  work  that  he  was  to 
make  for  king  Sol'o-mon  for  the  house  of  God  ; 

12  To  wit,  the  two  pillars,  and  "the  pommels,  and  the  chap- 
iters which  were  on  the  top  of  the  two  pillars,  and  the  two 
wreaths  to  cover  the  two  pommels  of  the  chapiters  which 
were  on  the  top  of  the  pillars ; 

13  And  "four  hundred  pomegranates  on  the  two  wreaths; 
two  rows  of  pomegranates  on  each  wreath,  to  cover  the  two 
pommels  of  the  chapiters  which  were  fupon  the  pillars. 

14  He  made  also  "bases,  and  ||  lavers  made  he  upon  the  bases ; 

15  One  sea,  and  twelve  oxen  under  it. 

16  The  pots  also,  and  the  shovels,  and  the  fleshhooks,  and 
all  their  instruments,  did  ''Hu'ram  his  father  make  to  king 
Sol'o-mon  for  the  hou.se  of  the  Lord,  of  fbright  brass. 

17  «In  the  plain  of  Jor'dan  did  the  king  cast  them,  in  the 
fclay  ground  between  Suc'coth  and  Ze-red'a-thah. 

18  ''Thus  Sol'o-mon  made  all  these  vessels  in  great  abun- 
dance :  for  the  weight  of  the  brass  could  not  be  found  out. 

19  ^And  'Sol'o-mon  made  all  the  vessels  that  were /or  the 
house  of  God,  the  golden  altar  also,  and  the  tables  whereon 
'the  shewbread  was  set; 

20  Moreover  the  candlesticks  with  their  lamps,  that  they 
should  burn  "after  the  manner  before  the  oracle,  of  pure  gold; 

21  And  ^the  flowers,  and  the  lamps,  and  the  tongs,  made 
he  of  gold,  and  that  f  perfect  gold ; 

22  And  the  snuffers,  and  the  ||  basins,  and  the  spoons,  and 
the  censers,  of  pure  gold :  and  the  entry  of  the  house,  the 
inner  doors  thereof  for  the  most  holy  place,  and  the  doors 
of  the  house  of  the  temple,  were  of  gold. 

CHAPTER  V. 

God  dein^  praised,  gzveth  a  visible  sign  of  his  favour. 

THUS  "all  the  work  that  Sol'o-mon  made  for  the  house 
of  the  Lord  was  finished :  and  Sol'o-mon  brought  in  all 
the  things  that  Da'vid  his  father  had  dedicated;  and  the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  all  the  instruments,  put  he  among 
the  treasures  of  the  house  of  God. 

2  ^'Then  Sol'o-mon  assembled  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  all 
the  heads  of  the  tribes,  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el,unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  bring  up  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  of  the  Lord  "out  of  the  city  of  Da'vid,  which  is  Zi'on. 

3  ''Wherefore  all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  assembled  themselves 
unto  the  king  'in  the  feast  which  was  in  the  seventh  month. 

4  And  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  came ;  and  the  Le'vites 
took  up  the  ark. 

5  And  they  brought  up  the  ark,  and  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  and  all  the  holy  vessels  that  were  in  the 
tabernacle,  these  did  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  bring  up. 

6  Also  king  Sol'o-mon,  and  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  that 
were  assembled  unto  him  before  the  ark,  sacrificed  sheep 
and  oxen,  which  could  not  be  told  nor  numbered  for  multitude. 

7  And  the  priests  brought  in  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord  unto  his  place,  to  the  oracle  of  the  house,  into  the 
most  holy  place,  even  under  the  wings  of  the  cherubim  : 

8  For  the  cherubim  spread  forth  their  wings  over  the  place 
of  the  ark,  and  the  cherubim  covered  the  ark  and  the 
staves  thereof  above. 

9  And  they  drew  out  the  staves  of  the  ark,  that  the  ends  of 
the  staves  were  seen  from  the  ark  before  the  oracle ;  but  they 
were  not  seen  without.     And  ||  there  it  is  unto  this  day. 

10  There  was  nothing  in  the  ark  save  the  two  tables 
which  Mo'ses  -^put  therein  at  Ho'reb,  ||  when  the  Lord 
made  a  covenant  with  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  when  they 
came  out  of  E'gypt.  | 


9  Furthermore  he  made  the  court  of  the  priests,  and 
the  great  court,  and  doors  for  the  court,  and  overlaid 

10  the  doors  of  them  with  brass.  And  he  set  the  sea  on 
the  right  side  of  the  house  eastward,  toward  the  south, 

11  And  Hu'ram  made  the  pots,  and  the  shovels,  and  the 
basons.  So  Hu'ram  made  an  end  of  doing  the  work 
that  he  wrought  for  king  Sol'o-mon  in  the  house  of 

12 God:  the  two  pillars,  and  the  bowls,  and  the  two 
chapiters  which  were  on  the  top  of  the  pillars ;  and 
the  two  networks  to  cover  the  two  bowls  of  the  chap- 

13  iters  that  were  on  the  top  of  the  pillars ;  and  the  four 
hundred  pomegranates  for  the  two  networks;  two 
rows  of  pomegranates  for  each  netwprk,  to  cover 
the  two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  that  were  'upon  the 

14  pillars.     He    made   also  the   bases,  and  the   lavers 
15 made  he  upon  the  bases;   one  sea,  and  the  twelve 

16  oxen  under  it.  The  pots  also,  and  the  shovels,  and 
the  fleshhooks,  and  all  the  vessels  thereof,  did  ^Hu- 
ram  his  father  make  for  king  Sol'o-mon  for  the  house 

17  of  the  Lord  of  bright  brass.  In  the  plain  of  Jor'- 
dan did  the  king  cast  them,  in  the  clay  ground  be- 

18tween  Suc'coth  and  Zer'e-dah.  'Thus  Sol^-mon  made 
all  these  vessels  in  great  abundance :  for  the  weight 

19  of  the  brass  ''could  not  be  found  out.  And  Sol'o-mon 
made  all  the  vessels  that  were  in  the  house  of  God, 
the  golden  altar  also,  and  the  tables  whereon  was 

20 the  shewbread;  and  the  candlesticks  with  their 
lamps,  that  they  should  burn  according  to  the  or 

21  dinance  before  the  oracle,  of  pure  gold ;  and  the 
flowers,  and  the  lamps,  and  the  tongs,  of  gold,  and 

22 that  perfect  gold;  and  the  snuffers,  and  the  basons, 
and  the  spoons,  and  the  firepans,  of  pure  gold :  and 
as  for  the  entry  of  the  house,  the  inner  doors  thereof 

V  for  the  most  holy  place,  and  the  doors  of  the  house, 

Oto  wit,  of  the  temple,  were  of  gold.  Thus  all  the 
work  that  Sol'o-mon  wrought  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord  was  finished.  And  Sol'o-mon  brought  in  the 
things  that  Da'vid  his  father  had  dedicated ;  even  the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  all  the  vessels,  and  put 
them  in  the  treasuries  of  the  house  of  God. 

2  'Then  Sol'o-mon  assembled  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  all  the  heads  of  the  tribes,  the  princes  of  the 
fathers'  houses  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  Je-ru'- 
salem,  to  bring  up  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 

3  Lord  out  of  the  city  of  Da'vid,  which  is  Zi'on.  And 
all  the  men  of  Is'ra-el  assembled  themselves  unto  the 
king  at  the  feast,  which  was  in  the  seventh  month. 

4  And  all  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  came,  and  the  Le'vites 

5  took  up  the  ark.  And  they  brought  up  the  ark, 
and  the  tent  of  meeting,  and  all  the  holy  vessels 
that  were   in    the   tent ;    these   did   the   priests  the 

6  Levites  bring  up.  And  king  Sol'o-mon  and  all  the 
congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  that  were  assembled  unto 
him,  were  before  the  ark,  sacrificing  sheep  and  oxen, 
that  could  not  be  told  nor  numbered  for  multitude. 

7  And  the  priests  brought  in  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  unto  its  place,  into  the  oracle  of  the 
house,  to  the  most  holy  place,  even  under  the  wings 

8  of  the  cherubim.  For  the  cherubim  spread  forth 
their  wings  over  the  place  of  the  ark,  and  the  cheru- 
bim covered  the  ark  and  the  staves  thereof  above. 

9  And  "the  staves  were  so  long  that  the  ends  of 
the  staves  were  seen  from  the  ark  before  the  ora- 
cle ;   but  they  were  not  seen   without :   and  there 

10  it  is,  unto  this  day.  There  was  nothing  in  the 
ark  save  the  two  tables  which  Mo'ses  put  there  at 
Ho'reb,  'when  the  Lord  made  a  covenant  with  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  when  they  came  out  of  E'gypt.

11  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  priests  were  come  out 
of  the  holy  place:  (for  all  the  priests  that  were  fpresent  were 
sanctified,  and  did  not  then  wait  by  course: 

12  'Also  the  Le'vites  xohich  were  the  singers,  all  of  them 
of  A'saph,  of  He'man,  of  Jed'u-thun,  with  their  sons  and 
their  brethren,  being  arrayed  in  white  linen,  having  cymbals 
and  psalteries  and  harps,  stood  at  the  east  end  of  the  altar, 
''and  with  them  a  hundred  and  twenty  priests  sounding  with 
trumpets :) 

13  It  came  even  to  pass,  as  the  trumpeters  and  singers  were 
as  one,  to  make  one  sound  to  be  heard  in  praising  and  thank- 
ing the  Lord  ;  and  when  they  lifted  up  their  voice  with  the 
trumpets  and  cymbals  and  instruments  of  music,  and  praised 
the  Lord,  saying,  'For  he  is  good :  for  his  mercy  endureth 
for  ever:  that  then  the  house  was  filled  with  a  cloud,  even 
the  house  of  the  Lord  : 

14  So  that  the  priests  could  not  stand  to  minister  by  reason 
of  the  cloud:  *for  the  glory  of  the  LoKD  had  filled  the 
house  of  God. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

Solomon's  prayer  at  the  consecration  of  the  temple. 

THEN  "said  Sol'o-mon,  The  Lord  hath  said  that  he  would 
dwell  in  the  Hhick  darkness. 

2  But  I  have  built  a  house  of  habitation  for  thee,  and  a 
place  for  thy  dwelling  for  ever. 

3  And  the  king  turned  his  face,  and  blessed  the  whole  con- 
gregation of  Is'ra-el:  and  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  stood. 

4  And  he  said,  Blessed  he  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  who 
hath  with  his  hands  fulfilled  that  which  he  spake  with  his 
mouth  to  my  father  Da'vid,  saying, 

5  Since  the  day  that  I  brought  forth  my  people  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt  I  chose  no  city  among  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el 
to  build  a  house  in,  that  my  name  might  be  there ;  neither 
chose  I  any  man  to  be  a  ruler   over  my  people  Is'ra-el : 

6  "But  I  have  chosen  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  my  name  might  be 
there ;  and  ■'have  chosen  Da'vid  to  be  over  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

7  Now  'it  was  in  the  heart  of  Da'vid  my  father  to  build  a 
house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

8  But  the  Lord  said  to  Da'vid  my  father,  Forasmuch  as  it 
was  in  thine  heart  to  build  a  house  for  my  name,  thou  didst 
well  in  that  it  was  in  thine  heart: 

9  Notwithstanding  thou  shalt  not  build  the  house ;  but 
thy  son  which  shall  come  forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he  shall 
build  the  house  for  my  name. 

10  The  Lord  therefore  hath  performed  his  word,  that  he 
hath  spoken :  for  I  am  risen  up  in  the  room  of  Da'vid  my 
father,  and  am  set  on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el,  as  the  Lord 
promised,  and  have  built  the  house  for  the  name  of  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  in  it  have  I  put  the  ark,  ^wherein  is  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord,  that  he  made  with  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

12  ^"And  he  stood  before  the  altar  of  the  Lord  in  the 
presence  of  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  and  spread  forth 
his  hands : 

13  For  Sol'o-mon  had  made  a  brazen  scaffold,  of  five  cubits 
flong,  and  five  cubits  broad,  and  three  cubits  high,  and  had 
set  it  in  the  midst  of  the  court :  and  upon  it  he  stood,  and 
kneeled  down  upon  his  knees  before  all  the  congregation  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  spread  forth  his  hands  toward  heaven, 

14  And  said,  O  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Hhere  is  no  God  like 
thee  in  the  heaven,  nor  in  the  earth ;  which  keepest  cove- 
nant, and  shewest  mercy  unto  thy  servants,  that  walk  before 
thee  with  all  their  hearts : 

15  'Thou  which  hast  kept  with  thy  servant  Da'vid  my 
father  that  which  thou  hast  promised  him;  and  spakest 
with  thy  mouth,  and  hast  fulfilled  it  with  thine  hand,  as  it 
is  this  day. 

16  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  keep  with  thy 
servant  Da'vid   my  father  that  which  thou  hast  promised 


11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  priests  were  come 
out  of  the  holy  place,  (for  all  the  priests  that  were 
present  had  sanctified  themselves,  and  did  not  keep 

12  their  courses;  also  the  Le'vites  which  were  the  sing- 
ers, all  of  them,  even  A'saph,  He'man,  Jed'u-thun,  and 
their  sons  and  their  brethren  arrayed  in  fine  linen, 
with  cymbals  and  psalteries  and  harps,  stood  at  the 
east  end   of  the   altar,  and  with  them  an  hundred 

13and  twenty  priests  sounding  with  trumpets:)  it 
came  even  to  pass,  when  the  trumpeters  and  sing- 
ers were  as  one,  to  make  one  sound  to  be  heard  in 
praising  and  thanking  the  Lord;  and  when  they 
lifted  up  their  voice  with  the  trumpets  and  cym- 
bals and  in.struments  'of  music,  and  praised  the 
Lord,  saying,  For  he  is  good ;  for  his  mercy  endur 
eth  for   ever :    that  then  the  house  was  filled  Avith  a 

14  cloud,  even  the  house  of  the  Lord,  so  that  the  priests 
could  not  stand  to  minister  by  reason  of  the  cloud 
for  the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  house  of  God. 

v)     ^Then  spake  Sol'o-mon,   The  Lord  hath  said  that 

2  he  would  dwell  in  the  thick  darkness.  But  I  have 
built  thee  an  house   of  habitation,  and  a  place  for 

3  thee  to  dwell  in  for  ever.  And  the  king  turned  his 
face,  and  blessed  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el :  and 

4  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el  stood.  And  he  said. 
Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  which  spake 
with  his  mouth  unto  Da'vid  my  father  and  hath  with 

5  his  hands  fulfilled  it,  saying.  Since  the  day  that  I 
brought  forth  my  people  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
I  chose  no  city  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  build 
an  house  in,  that  my  name  might  be  there ;  neither 
chose  I   any  man   to   be  ^prince  over    my   people 

6  Is'ra-el:  but  I  have  chosen  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  my  name 
might  be  there ;  and  have  chosen  Da'vid  to  be  over 

7  my  people  Is'ra-el.  Now  it  was  in  the  heart  of 
Da'vid  my  father  to  build  an  house  for  the  name  of 

8  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.  But  the  Lord  said 
unto  Da'vid  my  father.  Whereas  it  was  in  thine 
heart  to  build  an  house  for  my  name,  thou  didst 

9 well  that  it  was  in  thine  heart:  nevertheless  thou 
shalt  not  build  the  house;  but  thy  son  that  shall 
come  forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he  shall  build  the  house 

10  for  my  name.  And  the  Lord  hath  performed  his 
word  that  he  spake ;  for  I  am  risen  up  in  the  room 
of  Da'vid  my  father  and  sit  on  the  throne  of  Is'ra-el, 
as  the  Lord  promised,  and  have  built  the  house  for 

lithe  name  of  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.  And 
there  have  I  set  the  ark,  wherein  is  the  covenant  of 
the  Lord,  which  he  made  with  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el. 

12     And  he  stood  before  the  altar  of  the  Lord  in  the 

J)resence  of  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, and  spread 
brth  his  hands:  (for  Soro-mon  had  made  a  brasen 
scaffold,  of  five  cubits  long,  and  five  cubits  broad, 
and  three  cubits  high,  and  had  set  it  in  the  midst  of 
the  court :  and  upon  it  he  stood,  and  kneeled  down 
upon  his  knees  before  all  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el, 

14 and  spread  forth  his  hands  toward  heaven:)  and  he 
said,  O  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  there  is  no  God  like 
thee,  in  the  heaven,  or  in  the  earth ;  who  keepest  cov- 
enant and  mercy  *with  thy  servants,  that  walk  before 

15thee  with  all  their  heart:  who  hast  kept  with  thy  serv- 
ant Da'vid  my  father  that  which  thou  didst  promise 
him :  yea,  thou  spakest  Avith  thy  mouth,  and  hast  ftil- 

16  filled  it  with  thine  hand,  as  it  is  this  day.  Now  there- 
fore, O  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  keep  with  thy  serv- 
ant Da'vid  my  father  that  which  thou  hast  promised

take  heed  to  their  way  to  walk  in  my  law,  as  thou  hast 
walked  before  me. 

17  Now  then,  O  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  let  thy  word  be 
verified,  which  thou  hast  spoken  unto  thy  servant  Da'vid. 

18  But  will  God  in  very  deed  dwell  with  men  on  the 
earth?  "Behold,  heaven  and  the  heaven  of  heavens  can- 
not contain  thee ;  how  much  less  this  house  which  I  have 
built ! 

19  Have  respect  therefore  to  the  prayer  of  thy  servant, 
and  to  his  supplication,  O  Lord  my  God,  to  hearken 
unto  the  cry  and  the  prayer  which  thy  servant  prayeth 
before  thee : 

20  That  thine  eyes  may  be  open  upon  this  house  day  and

wouldest  put  thy  name  there ;  to  hearken  unto  the  prayer 
which  thy  servant  prayeth  ||  toward  this  place. 

21  Hearken  therefore  unto  the  supplications  of  thy  servant, 
and  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  which  they  shall  tmake  toward 
this  place:  hear  thou  from  thy  dwellingplace,  even  from 
heaven ;  and  when  thou  hearest,  forgive. 

22  ^If  a  man  sin  against  his  neighbour,  fand  an  oath  be 
laid  upon  him  to  make  him  swear,  and  the  oath  come  before 
thine  altar  in  this  house ; 

23  Then  hear  thou  from  heaven,  and  do,  and  judge  thy 
servants,  by  requiting  the  wicked,  by  recompensing  his  way 
upon  his  own  head ;  and  by  justifying  the  righteous,  by  giv- 
ing him  according  to  his  righteousness.

one  shall  know  his  own  sore  and  his  own  grief,  and  shall

CHAPTER  VII 

God  giveth  to  Solomon  promises  upon  condition. 

"^TOW  "when  Sol'o-mon  had  made  an  end  of  praying,  the 
-Li  'fire  came  down  from  heaven  and  consumed  the  burnt 
offering  and  the  sacrifices ;  and  "the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled 
the  house. 

2  ''And  the  priests  could  not  enter  into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
because  the  glory  of  the  Lord  had  filled  the  Lord's  house. 

3  And  when  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  saw  how  the  fire 
came  down,  and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  upon  the  house, 
they  bowed  themselves  with  their  faces  to  the  ground  upon 
the  pavement,  and  worshipped,  and  praised  the  Lord,  'say- 
ing, For  he  is  good ;  -'^for  his  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

4  TJ'Then  the  king  and  all  the  people  offered  sacrifices 
before  the  Lord. 

5  And  king  Sol'o-mon  offered  a  sacrifice  of  twenty  and 
two  thousand  oxen,  and  a  hundred  and  twenty  thousand 
sheep.  So  the  king  and  all  the  people  dedicated  the  house 
of  God. 

6  *And  the  priests  waited  on  their  offices :  the  Le'vites  also 
with  instruments  of  music  of  the  Lord,  which  Da'vid  the 
king  had  made  to  praise  the  Lord,  because  his  mercy  en- 
dureth for  ever,  when  Da'vid  praised  fby  their  ministry ;  and 
•the  priests  sounded  trumpets  before  them,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
stood. 

7  Moreover  *Sol'o-mon  hallowed  the  middle  of  the  court 
that  was  before  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  for  there  he  offered 
burnt  offerings,  and  the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings,  because 
the  brazen  altar  which  Sol'o-mon  had  made  was  not  able 
to  receive  the  burnt  offerings,  and  the  meat  offerings, 
and  the  fat. 

8  "^'Also  at  the  same  time  Sol'o-mon  kept  the  fedst  seven 
days,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  a  very  great  congregation, 
from  the  entering  in  of  Ha' math,  unto  "Uie  river  of  E'gypt. 

9  And  in  the  eighth  day  they  made  f&  solemn  assembly  : 
for  they  kept  the  dedication  of  the  altar  seven  days,  and  the 
feast  seven  days. 


34  If  thy  people  go  out  to  battle  against  their  enemies, 
by  whatsoever  way  thou  shalt  send  them,  and  they 
pray  unto  thee  toward  this  city  which  thou  hast 
chosen,  and  the  house  which  I  have  built  for  thy 

35  name ;  then  hear  thou  from  heaven  their  prayer  and 

36  their  supplication,  and  maintain  their  'cause.  If  they 
sin  against  thee,  (for  there  is  no  man  that  sinneth 
not,)  and  thou  be  angry  with  them,  and  deliver  them 
to  the  enemy,  so  that  ^they  carry  them  away  captive 

37  unto  a  land  far  off  or  near;  yet  if  they  shall  bethink 
themselves  in  the  land  whither  they  are  carried  cap- 
tive, and  turn  again,  and  make  supplication  unto  thee 
in  the  land  of  their  captivity,  saying,  We  have  sinned, 
we  have  done  perversely,  and  have  dealt  wickedly ; 

38  if  they  return  unto  thee  with  all  their  heart  and  with 
all  their  soul  in  the  land  of  their  captivity,  whither 
they  have  carried  them  captive,  and  pray  toward 
their  land,  which  thou  gavest  unto  their  fathers,  and 
the  city  which    thou   hast   chosen,  and  toward  the 

39  house  which  I  have  built  for  thy  name :  then  hear 
thou  from  heaven,  even  from  thy  dwelling  place, 
their  prayer  and  their  supplications,  and  maintain 
their  'cause;   and   forgive   thy   people  which  have 

40  sinned  against  thee.  Now,  O  my  God,  let,  I  beseech 
thee,  thine  eyes  be  open,  and  let  thine  ears  be  attent, 

41  unto  the  prayer  that  is  made  in  this  place.  ^Now 
therefore  arise,  O  Lord  God,  into  thy  resting  place, 
thou,  and  the  ark  of  thy  strength :  let  thy  priests,  O 
Lord  God,  be  clothed  with  salvation,  and  let  thy 

42  saints  rejoice  in  ^goodness.  O  Lord  God,  turn  not 
away  the  face  of  thine  anointed:  remember  the 
'mercies  of  Da'vid  thy  servant. 

/  Now  when  Sol'o-mon  had  made  an  end  of  praying, 
the  fire  came  down  from  heaven,  and  consumed  the 
burnt  offering  and  the  sacrifices ;  and  the  glory  of 

2  the  Lord  filled  the  house.  And  the  priests  could 
not  enter  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  because  the 

3  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  Lord's  house.  And 
all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  looked  on,  when  the 
fire  came  down,  and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  was 
upon  the  house;  and  they  bowed  themselves  with 
their  faces  to  the  ground  upon  the  pavement,  and 
worshipped,  and  gave  thanks  unto  the  Lord,  saying, 
For  he  is  good ;   for  his   mercy   endureth  for  ever. 

4^Then  the  king  and  all  the  people  offered  sacrifice 

5  before  the  Lord.  And  king  Sol'o-mon  offered  a 
sacrifice  of  twenty  and  two  thousand  oxen,  and  an 
hundred  and  twenty  thousand  sheep.     So  the  king 

6  and  all  the  people  dedicated  the  house  of  God.  And 
the  priests  stood,  according  to  their  offices;  the 
Le'vites  also  with  instruments  "of  music  of  the 
Lord,  which  Da'vid  the  king  had  made  to  give 
thanks  unto  the  Lord,  for  his  mercy  endureth  for 
ever,  when  Da'vid  praised  by  their  ministry :  and 
the  priests  sounded  trumpets  before  them ;  and  all 

7  Is'ra-el  stood.  ^Moreover  Sol'o-mon  hallowed  the 
middle  of  the  court  that  was  before  the  house  of 
the  Lord  ;  for  there  he  offered  the  burnt  offerings, 
and  the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings :  because  the  brasen 
altar  which  Sol'o-mon  had  made  was  not  able  to 
receive  the  burnt  offering,  and  the   meal  offering, 

8  and  the  fat.  So  Sol'o-mon  held  the  feast  at  that  time 
seven  days,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him,  a  very  great  con- 
gregation, from  the  entering  in  of  Ha'math  unto  the 

9  brook  of  E'gypt.  And  on  the  eighth  day  they  held 
a  'solemn  assembly :  for  they  kept  the  dedication 
of  the  altar  seven  days,  and  the  feast  seven  days.

10  And  "on  the  three  and  twentieth  day  of  the  seventh 
month  he  sent  the  people  away  into  their  tents,  glad  and 
merry  in  heart  for  the  goodness  that  the  Lord  had  shewed 
unto  Da'vid  and  to  Sol'o-mon,  and  to  Is'ra-el  his  people. 

11  Thus  °Sol'o-mon  finished  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  king's  house;  and  all  that  came  into  Sol'o-mon's  heart 
to  make  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  his  own  house, 
he  prosperously  effected. 

12  ^And  the  Lord  appeared  to  Sol'o-mon  by  night,  and 
said  unto  him,  I  have  heard  thy  prayer,  "and  have  chosen 
this  place  to  myself  for  a  house  of  sacrifice. 

13  "If  I  shut  up  heaven  that  there  be  no  rain,  or  if  I  com- 
mand the  locusts  to  devour  the  land,  or  if  I  send  pestilence 
among  my  people ; 

14  If  my  people,  fwhich  are  called  by  my  name,  shall 
•■humble  themselves,  and  pray,  and  seek  my  face,  and  turn 
from  their  wicked  ways ;  'then  will  I  hear  from  heaven,  and 
will  forgive  their  sin,  and  will  heal  their  land. 

15  Now  'mine  eyes  shall  be  open,  and  mine  ears  attent 
funto  the  prayer  that  is  made  in  this  place. 

16  For  now  have  "I  chosen  and  sanctified  this  house,  that 
my  name  may  be  there  for  ever:  and  mine  eyes  and  mine 
heart  shall  be  there  perpetually. 

17  ""And  as  for  thee,  if  thou  wilt  walk  before  me,  as  Da'vid 
thy  father  walRed,  and  do  according  to  all  that  I  have  com- 
manded thee,  and  shalt  observe  my  statutes  and  my  judg- 
ments ; 

18  Then  will  I  establish  the  throne  of  thy  kingdom  ac- 
cording as  I  have  covenanted  with  Da'vid  thy  father,  say- 
ing, "fThere  shall  not  fail  thee  a  man  to  be  ruler  in  Is'ra-el. 

19  ''But  if  ye  turn  away,  and  forsake  my  statutes  and  my 
commandments,  which  I  have  set  before  you,  and  shall  go 
and  serve  other  gods,  and  worship  them ; 

20  Then  will  I  pluck  them  up  by  the  roots  out  of  my  land 
which  I- have  given  them;  and  this  house,  which  I  have 
sanctified  for  my  name,  will  I  cast  out  of  my  sight,  and  will 
make  it  to  be  a  proverb  and  a  byword  among  all  nations. 

21  And  this  house,  which  is  high,  shall  be  an  astonish- 
ment to  every  one  that  passeth  by  it ;  so  that  he  shall 
say,  "Why  hath  the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this  land,  and 
unto  this  house  ? 

22  And  it  shall  be  answered,  Because  they  forsook  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers,  which  brought  them  forth  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  laid  hold  on  other  gods,  and 
worshipped  them,  and  served  them :  therefore  hath  he 
brought  all  this  evil  upon  them. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Sofomon's  buitdings~He  fetcheth  gold  from  Ophir. 

AND°itcame  to  pass  at  the  end  oftwenty  years,  wherein  Sol'o- 
mon  had  built  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  his  own  house, 

2  That  the  cities  which  Hu'ram  had  restored  to  Sol'o-mon, 
Sol'o-mon  built  them,  and  caused  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  to 
dwell  there. 

3  And  Sol'o-mon  went  to  Ha'math-zo'bah,  and  prevailed 
against  it.  , 

4  ""And  he  built  Tad'mor  in  the  wilderness,  and  all  the 
store  cities,  which  he  built  in  Ha'math. 

5  Also  he  built  Beth-ho'ron  the  upper,  and  Beth-ho'ron 
the  nether,  fenced  cities,  with  walls,  gates,  and  bars ; 

6  And  Ba'a-lath,  and  all  the  store  cities  that  Sol'o-mon  bad, 
and  all  the  chariot  cities,  and  the  cities  of  the  horsemen, 
and  fall  that  Sol'o-mon  desired  to  build  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
in  Leb'a-non,  and  throughout  all  the  land  of  his  dominion. 

7  %,'AHJor  all  the  people  that  were  left  of  the  Hit'tites,  and 
the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  Per'iz-zites,  and  the  Hi'vites,  and 
the  Jeb'u-sites,  which  were  not  of  Is'ra-el, 

8  Bid  of  their  children,  who  were  left  after  them  in  the 
land,  whom  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  consumed  not,  them  did 
Sol'o-mon  make  to  pay  tribute  until  this  day. 


lOAndon  the  three  and  twentieth  day  of  the  seventh 
month  he  sent  the  people  away  unto  their  tents,  joy- 
ful and  glad  of  heart  for  the  goodness  that  the  Lord 
had  shewed  unto  Da'vid,  and  to  Sol'o-mon,  and  to 
Is'ra-el  his  people. 

11  'Thus  Sol'o-mon  finished  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  king's  house :  and  all  that  came  into  Sol'o- 
mon's  heart  to  make  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 

12  in  his  own  house,  he  prosperou.sly  effected.  And 
the  Lord  appeared  to  Sol'o-mon  by  night,  and  said 
unto  him,  I  have  heard  thy  prayer,  and  have  chosen 

13  this  place  to  myself  for  an  house  of  sacrifice.  If  I 
shut  up  heaven  that  there  be  no  rain,  or  if  I  com- 
mand the  locust  to   devour  the  land,  or  if  I  send 

14  pestilence  among  my  people ;  if  my  people,  ^vhich 
are  called  by  my  name,  shall  humble  themselves, 
and  pray,  and  seek  my  face,  and  turn  from  their 
wicked  ways;    then  will  I  hear  from    heaven,  and 

15  will  forgive  their  sin,  and  will  heal  their  land.  Now 
mine  eyes  shall  be  open,  and  mine  ears  attent,  unto 

16  the  prayer  that  is  made  in  this  place.  For  now  have 
I  chosen  and  hallowed  this  house,  that  my  name 
may  be  there   for   ever;    and    mine  eyes  and  mine 

17  heart  shall  be  there  perpetually.     And  as  for  thee, 
if  thou  wilt  walk  before  me  as  Da'vid  thy  father 
walked,  and  do  according  to  all  that  I  have  com 
manded    thee,  and  wilt    keep  my  statutes  and    my 

ISjudgements;  then  I  will  establi.sh  the  throne  of  thy 
kingdom,  according  as  I  covenanted  with  Da'vid  thy 
father,  saying.  There  shall  not  fail  thee  a  man  to  be 

19  ruler  in  Is'ra-el.  But  if  ye  turn  away,  and  forsake 
my  statutes  and  my  commandments  which  I  have 
set  before  you,  and  shall  go  and  serve  other  gods, 

20 and  worship  them:  then  will  I  pluck  them  up  by 
the  roots  out  of  my  land  which  I  have  given  them  ; 
and  this  house,  which  I  have  hallowed  for  my  name, 
will  I  cast  out  of  my  sight,  and  I  will  make  it  a 

21  proverb  and  a  byword  among  all  peoples.  And 
this  house,  which  is  so  high,  every  one  that  passeth 
by  it  shall  be  astonished,  and  shall  say.  Why  hath 
the  Lord   done   thus   unto  this   land,  and   to  this 

22  house  ?  And  they  shall  answer.  Because  they  for- 
sook the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers,  which 
brought  them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and 
laid  hold  on  other  gods,  and  worshipped  them,  and 
served  them :  therefore  hath  he  brought  all  this  evil 
upon  them. 

O  ^And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  twenty  years, 
wherein  Sol'o-mon  had  built  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

2  and  his  own  house,  that  the  cities  which  Hu'ram  had 
given  to  Solo'mon,  Sol'o-mon  built  them,  and  caused 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  to  dwell  there. 

3  And  Sol'o-mon  went  to  Ha'math-zo'bah,  and  pre- 

4  vailed  against  it.  And  he  built  Tad'mor  in  the  wil- 
derness, and  all  the  store  cities,  which  he  built  in 

5  Ha'math.  Also  he  built  Beth-ho'ron  the  upper,  and 
Beth-ho'ron    the   nether,  fenced  cities,  with    walls 

6  gates,  and  bars ;  and  Ba'a-lath,  and  all  the  store  cities 
that  Sol'o-mon  had,  and  all  the  cities  for  his  chariots, 
and  the  cities  for  his  horsemen,  and  all  that  Sol'o-mon 
desired  to  build  for  his  pleasure  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
in  Leb'a-non,  and  in  all  the  land  of  his  dominion. 

7  As  for  all  the  people  that  were  left  of  the  Hit'tites, 
and  the  A.m'o-rites,  a  nd  the  Per'iz-zites,  and  the  Hi'vites, 

8  and  the  Jeb'u-sites,  which  were  not  of  Is'ra-el ;  of  their 
children  that  were  left  after  them  in  the  land,  whom 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  consumed  not,  of  them  did 
Sol'o-mon  raise  a  levy  of  bondservants,  unto  this  day.

9  But  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  SoFo-mon  make  no 
servants  for  his  work;  but  they  were  men  of  war,  and  chief 
of  his  captains,  and  captains  of  his  chariots  and  horsemen. 

10  And  these  were  the  chief  of  king  Sol'o-mon's  officers, 
even  ''two  hundred  and  fifty,  that  bare  rule  over  the  people. 

11  ^And  Sol'o-mon  'brought  up  the  daughter  of  Pha'raoh 
out  of  the  city  of  Da'vid  unto  the  house  that  he  had  built 
for  her:  for  he  said.  My  wife  shall  not  dwell  in  the  house 
of  Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-el,  because  the  places  are  fholy, 
whereunto  the  ark  of  the  Lord  hath  come. 

12  ^Then  Sol'o-mon  offered  burnt  offerings  unto  the 
Lord  on  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  which  he  had  built  before 
the  porch, 

13  Even  after  a  certain  rate-^every  day,  offering  according 
to  the  commandment  of  Mo'ses,  on  the  sabbaths,  and  on 
the  new  moons,  and  on  the  solemn  feasts,  "three  times  in 
the  year,  even  in  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread,  and  in  the 
feast  of  weeks,  and  in  the  feast  of  tabernacles. 

14  ^And  he  appointed,  according  to  the  order  of  Da'vid 
his  father,  the  ''courses  of  the  priests  to  their  service,  and 
'the  Le'vites  to  their  charges,  to  praise  and  minister  before 
the  priests,  as  the  duty  of  every  day  required  :  the  'porters 
also  by  their  courses  at  every  gate :  for  fso  had  Da'vid  the 
man  of  God  commanded. 

15  And  they  departed  not  from  the  commandment  of  the 
king  unto  the  priests  and  Le'vites  concerning  any  matter, 
or  concerning  the  treasures. 

16  Now  all  the  work  of  Sol'o-mon  was  preparad  unto 
the  day  of  the  foundation  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
until  it  was  finished.  So  the  house  of'  the  Lord  was 
perfected. 

17  ^Then  went  Sol'o-mon  to  'E'zi-ron-ge'ber,  and  to 
||E'loth,  at  the  sea  side  in  the  land  of  E'dom. 

18  "And  Hu'ram  sent  him  by  the  hands  of  his  servants, 
ships,  and  servants  that  had  knowledge  of  the  sea;  and 
they  went  with  the  servants  of  Sol'o-mon  to  O'phir,  and 
took  thence  ^our  hundred  and  fifty  talents  of  gold,  and 
brought  them  to  king  Sol'o-mon. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

The  queen  of  Sheba  admireth  the  wisdom  of  Solomon. 

AND  "when  the  queen  of  She'ba  heard  of  the  fame  of 
Sol'o-mon,  she  came  to  prove  Sol'o-mon  with  hard 
questions  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  with  a  very  great  compauy,  and 
camels  that  bare  spices,  and  gold  inabundance,  and  precious 
stones:  and  when  she  was  come  to  Sol'o-mon,  she  com- 
muned with  him  of  all  that  was  in  her  heart. 

2  And  Sol'o-mon  told  her  all  her  questions:  and  there 
was  nothing  hid  from  Sol'o-mon  which  he  told  her  not. 

3  And  when  the  queen  of  She'ba  had  seen  the  wisdom  of 
Sol'o-mon,  and  the  house  that  he  had  built, 

4  And  the  meat  of  his  table,  and  the  sitting  of  his  serv- 
ants, and  the  attendance  of  his  ministers,  and  their  apparel ; 
his  II cupbearers  also,  and  their  apparel;  and  his  ascent  by 
which  he  went  up  into  the  house  of  the  Lord;  there  was 
no  more  spirit  in  her. 

5  And  she  said  to  the  king.  It  was  a  true  freport  which  I 
heard  in  mine  own  land  of  thine  ||acts,  and  of  thy  wisdom: 

6  Howbeit  I  believed  not  their  words,  until  I  came,  and 
mine  eyes  had  seen  it:  and,  behold,  the  one  half  of  the  great- 
ness of  thy  wisdom  was  not  told  me :  /or  thou  exceedest 
the  fame  that  I  heard. 

7  Happy  are  thy  men,  and  happy  are  these  thy  servants, 
which  stand  continually  before  thee,  and  hear  thy  wisdom. 

8  Blessed  be  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  delighted  in  thee 
to  set  thee  on  his  throne,  to  be  king  for  the  Lord  thy  God : 
because  thy  God  loved  Is'ra-el,  to  establish  them  for  ever, 
therefore  made  he  thee  king  over  them,  to  do  judgment 
and  justice. 


9  But  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  SoFo-mon  make  no 
servants  for  his  work;  but  they  were  men  of  war, 
and  chief  of  his  captains,  and  rulers  of  his  chariots 

10  and  of  his  horsemen.  And  these  were  the  chief 
officers  of  king  Sol'o-mon,  even  two  hundred  and 

11  fifty,  that  bare  rule  over  the  people.  And  SoFo-mon 
brought  up  the  daughter  of  Pha'raoh  out  of  the  city 
of  Da'vid  unto  the  house  that  he  had  built  for  her: 
for  he  said.  My  wife  shall  not  dwell  in  the  house  of 
Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-el,  because  'the  places  are  holy, 
whereunto  the  ark  of  the  Lord  hath  come. 

12  Then  SoFo-mon  offered  burnt  offerings  unto  the 
Lord  on  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  which  he  had  built 

13  before  the  porch,  even  as  the  duty  of  every  day  re- 
quired, offering  according  to  the  commandment  of 
Mo'ses,  on  the  sabbaths,  and  on  the  new  moons,  and 
on  the  set  feasts,  three  times  in  the  year,  even  in  the 
fea.st  of  unleavened  bread,  and  in  the  feast  of  weeks, 

14  and  in  the  feast  of  tabernacles.  And  he  appointed, 
according  to  the  ordinance  of  Da'vid  his  father,  the 
courses  of  the  priests  to  their  service,  and  the  Le'- 
vites to  their  charges,  to  praise,  and  to  minister  be- 
fore the  priests,  as  the  duty  of  every  day  required : 
the  doorkeepers  also  by  their  course^  at  every  gate : 
for  so  had   Da'vid   the   man  of  God   commanded. 

1.5  And  they  de})arted  not  from  the  commandment  of 
the  king  unto  the  priests  and   Le'vites  concerning 

16  any  matter,  or  concerning  the  treasures.  Now  all 
the  work  of  Sol'o-mon  was  prepared  unto  the  day 
of  the  foundation  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  until 
it  was  finished.  8o  the  house  of  the  Lord  was  per- 
fected. 

1 7  Then  went  Sol'o-mon  to  E'zi-on-ge'ber,  and  to  E'loth, 

18  on  the  sea  shore  in  the  land  of  E'dom.  And  Hu'ram 
sent  him  by  the  hands  of  his  servants  ships,  and  serv- 
ants that  had  knowledge  of  the  sea ;  and  they  came 
with  the  servants  of  Sol'o-mon  to  O'phir,  and  fetched 
from  thence  four  hundred  and  fifty  talents  of  gold, 
and  brought  them  to  king  Sol'o-mon. 

y  ^And  when  the  queen  of  She'ba  heard  of  the  fame 
of  SoFo-mon,  she  came  to  prove  SoFo-mon  with  hard 
questions  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  with  a  very  great  train,  and 
camels  that  bare  .spices,  and  gold  in  abundance,  and 
precious  stones :  and  when  she  was  come  to  Sol'o' 
mon,  she  communed  with  him  of  all  that  was  in  her 

2 heart.  And  Sol'o-mon  told  her  all  her  questions: 
and  there  was  not  any  thing  hid  from  Sol'o-mon 

3  which  he  told  her  not.  And  when  the  queen  of 
She'ba  had  seen  the  wisdom  of  Sol'o-mon,  and  the 

4  house  that  he  had  built,  and  the  meat  of  his  table, 
and  the  sitting  of  his  servants,  and  the  'attendance 
of  his  ministers,  and  their  apparel;  his  cupbearers 
also,  and  their  apparel ;  and  his  ascent  by  which  he 
went  up  into  the  house  of  the  Lord;  there  was  no 

5  more  spirit  in  her.  And  she  said  to  the  king,  It  was 
a  true  report  that  I  heard  in  mine  own  land  of  thine 

6*acts,  and  of  thy  wisdom.  Howbeit  I  believed  not 
their  words,  until  I  came,  and  mine  eyes  had  seen 
it:  and,  behold,  the  half  of  the  greatness  of  thy  wis- 
dom was  not  told  me :  thou  exceedest  the  fame  that 

7 1  heard.  Happy  are  thy  men,  and  happy  are  these 
thy  servants,  which  stand  continually  before  thee. 

Sand  hear  thy  wisdom.  Bles.sed  be  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  delighted  in  thee,  to  set  thee  on  his  throne,  to 
be  king  for  the  Lord  thy  God:  because  thy  God 
loved  Is'ra-el,  to  establish  them  forever,  therefore  made 
he  thee  king  over  them,  to  do  judgement  and  justice.

9  And  she  gave  the  king  a  hundred  and  twenty  talents 
of  gold,  and  of  spices  great  abundance,  and  precious  stones : 
neither  was  there  any  such  spice  as  the  queen  of  She'ba 
gave  king  Sol'o-mon. 

10  And  the  servants  also  of  Hu'ram,  and  the  servants  of 
Sol'o-mon,  Vhich  brought  gold  from  O'phir,  brought  'algum 
trees  and  precious  stones. 

11  And  the  king  made  of  the  algum  trees  Hfterraces  to 
the  house  of  the  Lohd,  and  to  the  king's  palace,  and  harps 
and  psalteries  for  singers :  and  there  were  none  such  seen 
before  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

12  And  king  Sol'o-mon  gave  to  the  queen  of  She'ba  all  her 
desire,  whatsoever  she  asked,  besides  that  which  she  had 
brought  unto  the  king.  So  she  turned,  and  went  away  to 
her  own  land,  she  and  her  servants. 

13  ^Now  the  weight  of  gold  that  came  to  Sol'o-mon  in  one 
year  was  six  hundred  and  threescore  and  six  talents  of  gold ; 

14  Besides  that  which  chapmen  and  merchants  brought. 
And  all  the  kings  of  A-ra'bi-a  and  ||  governors  of  the  country 
brought  gold  and  silver  to  Sol'o-mon. 

15  ^And  king  Sol'o-mon  made  two hundredtargetso/beaten 
gold  :  six  hundred  shekels  of  beaten  gold  went  to  one  target. 

16  And  three  hundred  shields  made  he  of  beaten  gold : 
three  hundred  shekels  of  gold  went  to  one  shield.  And  the 
king  put  them  in  the  house  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a-non. 

17  ^Moreover  the  king  made  a  great  throne  of  ivory, 
and  overlaid  it  with  pure  gold. 

18  And  there  were  six  steps  to  the  throne,  with  a  footstool 
of  gold,  which  were  fastened  to  the  throne,  and  fstays  on 
each  side  of  the  sitting  place,  and  two  lions  standing  by 
the  stays : 

19  And  twelve  lions  stood  there  on  the  one  side  and  on 
the  other  upon  the  six  steps.  There  was  not  the  like  made 
in  any  kingdom. 

20  ii  And  all  the  drinking  vessels  of  king  Sol'o-mon  were 
of  gold,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the  forest  of 
Leb'a-non  wei-e  q/"  fpure  gold :  ||none  were  of  silver ;  it  was 
not  any  thing  accounted  of  in  the  days  of  Sol'o-mon. 

21  For  the  king's  ships  went  to  Tar'shish  with  the  servants 
of  Hu'ram :  every  three  years  once  came  the  ships  of 
Tar'shish  bringing  gold,  and  silver,  ||  ivory,  and  apes,  and 
peacocks. 

22  And  king  Sol'o-mon  passed  all  the  kings  of  the  earth  in 
riches  and  wisdom. 

23  ^And  all  the  kings  of  the  earth  sought  the  presence  of 
Sol'o-mon,  to  hear  his  wisdom,  that  God  had  put  in  his  heart. 

24  And  they  brought  every  man  his  present,  vessels  of 
silver,  and  vessels  of  gold,  and  raiment,  harnes.s,  and  spices, 
horses,  and  mules,  a  rate  year  by  year. 

25  ^And  Sol'o-mon  ''had  four  thousand  stalls  for  horses 
and  chariots,  and  twelve  thousand  horsemen ;  whom  he  be- 
stowed in  the  chariot  cities,  and  with  the  king  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

26  ^'And  he  reigned  over  all  the  kings  -^from  the  ||  river 
even  unto  the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  to  the  border  of 
E'gypt. 

27  "And  the  king  fmade  silver  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  as  stones, 
and  cedar  trees  made  he  as  the  sycamore  trees  that  are  in 
the  low  plains  in  abundance. 

28  *And  they  brought  unto  Sol'o-mon  horses  out  of  E'gypt, 
and  out  of  all  lands. 

29  ^'Xow  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Sol'o-mon,  first  and  last, 
are  they  not  written  in  the  fbook  of  Na'than  the  prophet,  and 
in  the  prophecy  of  *A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite,  and  in  the  vis- 
ions of  'Id'do  the  seer  against  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat  ? 

30  ""And  Sol'o-mon  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  over  all  Is'ra-el 
forty  years. 

31  And  Sol'o-mon  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  he  was  buried 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and  Re-ho-bo'am  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 


9  And  she  gave  the  king  an  hundred  and  twenty 
talents  of  gold,  and  spices  in  great  abundance,  and 
precious  stones:   neither  was  there  any  such  spice 

10 as  the  queen  of  She'ba  gave  to  king  Sol'o-mon.  And 
the  servants  also  of  Hu'ram,  and  the  servants  of 
Sol'o-mon,  which  brought  gold  from  O'phir,  brought 

11 'algum  trees  and  precious  stones.  And  the  king 
made  of  the  algum  trees  terraces  for  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  for  the  king's  house,  and  harps  and 
psalteries  for  the  singers :  and  there  were  none  such 

12  seen  before  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah.     And  king  Sol'o- 
mon  gave  to  the  queen  of  She'ba  all  her  desire,  what 
soever  she  asked,  beside  that  which  she  had  brought 
unto  the  king.     So  she  turned,  and  went  to  her  own 
land,  she  and  her  servants. 

13  Now  the  weight  of  gold  that  came  to  Sol'o-mon  in 
one  year  was  six   hundred  and  threescore  and  six 

14 talents  of  gold;  beside  that  which  the  chapmen  and 
merchants  brought :  and  all  the  kings  of  A-ra'bi-a 
and  the  governors  of  the  country  brought  gold  and 

15  silver  to  Sol'o-mon.  And  king  Sol'o-mon  made  two 
hundred  targets  of  beaten  gold  :  six  hundred  shekels 

16  of  beaten  gold  went  to  one  target.  And  he  made 
three  hundred  shields  of  beaten  gold ;  three  hundred 
shekels  of  gold  went  to  one  shield :  and  the  king  put 

17  them  in  the  house  of  the  forest  of  Leb'a-non.  More- 
over the  king  made  a  great    throne  of  ivory,  and 

18  overlaid  it  with  pure  gold.  And  there  were  six 
steps  to  the  throne,  with  a  footstool  of  gold,  which 
were  fastened  to  the  throne,  and  ^stays  on  either 
side  by  the  place  of  the  seat,  and  two  lions  standing 

19  beside  the  stays.  And  twelve  lions  stood  there  on 
the  one  side  and  on  the  other  upon  the  six  steps : 

20  there  was  not  the  like  made  in  any  kingdom.  And 
all  king  Sol'o-mon's  drinking  vessels  were  of  gold, 
and  all  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the  forest  of 
Leb'a-non   were  of  pure  gold:  silver  was  nothing 

21  accounted  of  in  the  days  of  Sol'o-mon.  For  the  king 
had  ships  that  went  to  Tar'shish  with  the  servants 
of  Hu'ram :  once  every  three  years  came  the  ships 
of  Tar'shish,  bringing  gold,  and  silver,  ivory,  and 

22  apes,  and  peacocks.  So  king  Sol'o-mon  exceeded 
all  the  kings   of  the  earth   in  riches  and  wisdom. 

23  And  all  the  kings  of  the  earth  sought  the  presence 
of  Sol'o-mon,  to  hear  his  wisdom,  which  God  had  put 

24  in  his  heart.  And  they  brought  every  man  his  pres- 
ent, vessels  of  silver,  and  vessels  of  gold,  and  rai- 
ment, armour,  and  spices,  horses,  and  mules,  a  rate 

25  year  by  year.  And  Sol'o-mon  had  four  thousand 
stalls  for  horses  and  chariots,  and  twelve  thousand 
horsemen,  which  he  bestowed  in  the  chariot  cities, 

26  and  with  the  king  at  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  ruled 
over  all  the  kings  from  the  River  even  unto  the 
land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  to  the  border  of  E'gypt. 

27  And  the  king  made  silver  to  be  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  as 
stones,  and  cedars   made  he  to  be  as  the  sycomore 

28  trees  that  are  in  the  lowland,  for  abundance.  And 
they  brought  horses  for  Sol'o-mon  out  of  E'gypt, 
and  out  of  all  lands. 

29  'Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Sol'o-mon,  first  and 
last,  are  they  not  written  in  the  ^history  of  Na'than 
the  prophet,  and  in  the  prophecy  of  A-hi'jah  the 
Shi'lo-nite,  and  in  the  visions  of  'Id'do  the  seer  con- 

30cerning  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat?  And  Sol'o- 
mon  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  over  all  Is'ra-el  forty 

31  years.  And  Sol'o-mon  slept  with  his  fathers,  and 
he  was  buried  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and 
Re-ho-bo'am  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.

CHAPTER   X. 

The  Israelites  assemble  at  Shechem  to  crown  Refioboam. 

AND  "Re-ho-bo'am  went  to  She'chem:  for  to  She'chem 
were  all  Is'ra-el  come  to  make  him  king. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat ,  who 
was  in  E'gypt,  'whither  he  had  fled  from  the  presence  of  Sol'o- 
mon  the  king,  heard  it,  that  Jer-o-bo'am  returned  out  of  E'gypt. 

3  And  they  sent  and  called  him.  So  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all 
Is'ra-el  came  and  spake  to  Re-ho-bo'am,  saying, 

4  Thy  father  made  our  yoke  grievous :  now  therefore  ease 
thou  somewhat  the  grievous  servitude  of  thy  father,  and  his 
heavy  yoke  that  he  put  upon  us,  and  we  will  serve  thee. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them.  Come  again  unto  me  after  three 
days.     And  the  people  departed. 

6  ^  And  king  Re-ho-bo'am  took  counsel  with  the  old  men  that 
had  stood  before  Sol'o-mon  his  father  while  he  yet  li  ved,saying, 
What  counsel  give  ye  me  to  return  answer  to  this  people? 

7  And  they  spake  unto  him,  saying.  If  thou  be  kind  to 
this  people,  and  please  them,  and  speak  good  words  to  them, 
they  will  be  thy  servants  for  ever. 

8  But  he  forsook  the  counsel  which  the  old  men  gave 
him,  and  took  counsel  with  the  young  men  that  were 
brought  up  with  him,  that  stood  before  him. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them.  What  advice  give  ye,  that  we  may 
return  answer  to  this  people,  which  have  spoken  to  me,  saying, 
Ease  somewhat  the  yoke  that  thy  father  did  put  upon   us? 

10  And  the  young  men  that  were  brought  up  with  him,  spake 
unto  him,  saying.  Thus  shalt  thou  answer  the  people  that 
spake  unto  thee,  saying,  Thy  father  made  our  yoke  heavy,  but 
make  thou  it  somewhat  lighter  for  us ;  thus  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them.  My  little  ^^n^'er  shall  be  thicker  than  my  father's  loins. 

11  For  whereas  my  father  fput  a  heavy  yoke  upon  you, 
I  will  put  more  to  your  yoke :  my  father  chastised  you  with 
whips,  but  I  will  chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

12  So  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all^he  people  came  to  Re-ho-bo'am 
on  the  third  day,  as  the  king  bade,  saying.  Come  again  to 
me  on  the  third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered  them  roughly ;  and  king  Re- 
ho-bo'am  forsook  the  counsel  of  the  old  men, 

14  And  answered  them  after  the  advice  of  the  young  men, 
saying.  My  father  made  your  yoke  heavy,  but  I  will  add 
thereto :  my  father  chastised  you  with  whips,  but  I  will 
chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

15  So  the  king  hearkened  not  unto  the  people:  "for  the 
cause  was  of  God,  that  the  Lord  might  perform  his  word, 
which  he  spake  by  the  ''hand  of  A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite  to 
Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat. 

16  ^And  when  all  Is'ra-el  saio  that  the  king  would  not 
hearken  unto  them,  the  people  answered  the  king,  saying. 
What  portion  have  we  in  Da'vid  ?  and  we  have  none  in- 
heritance in  the  son  of  Jes'se;  every  man  to  your  tents,  O 
Is'ra-el :  and  now,  Da'vid,  see  to  thine  own  house.  So  all 
Is'ra-el  went  to  their  tents. 

17  But  as  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  dwelt  in  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah,  Re-ho-bo'am  reigned  over  them. 

18  Then  king  Re-ho-bo'am  sent  Ha-do'ram  that wa«  over  the 
tribute ;  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  stoned  him  with  stones, 
that  he  died.  But  king  Re-ho-bo'am  fmade  speed  to  get 
him  up  to  his  chariot,  to  flee  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

1 9  'And  Is'ra-el  rebelled  against  the  house  of  Da'vid  unto 
this  day. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

Rehodoam,  preparing  to  subdue  Israel,  is  forbidden  by  Shemaiah. 

AND  "when  Re-ho-bo'am  was  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  he  gath- 
eredofthehouseof  Ju'dah  andBen'ja-minahundred  and  four- 
score thousand  chosen  »ien,which  were  warriors,to  fight  against 
l8'ra-el,that  he  might  bring  the  kingdom  again  to  Re-ho-bo'am. 
2  But  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  Ho  Shem-a-i'ah  the  man 
of  God,  saying. 


J- V  'And  Re-ho-bo'am  went  to  She'chem :  for  allls'ra-el 
2  were  come  to  She'chem  to  make  him  king.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat 
heard  of  it,  (for  he  was  in  E'gypt,  whither  he  had 
fled  from  the  presence  of  king  Sol'o-mon,)  that  Jer-o- 
3bo'am  returned  out  of  E'gypt.  And  they  sent  and 
called  him ;  and  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all  Is'ra-el  came,  and 

4  they  spake  to  Re-ho-bo'am,  saying.  Thy  father  made 
our  yoke  grievous :  now  therefore  make  thou  the 
grievous  service  of  thy  father,  and  his  heavy  yoke 
which  he  put  upon  us,  lighter,  and  we  will   serve 

5  thee.     And  he  said  unto  them,  Come  again  unto  me 

6  after  three  days.  And  the  people  departed.  And 
king  Re-ho-bo'am  took  counsel  with  the  old  men, 
that  had  stood  before  Sol'o-mon  his  father  while  he 
yet  lived,  saying,  What  counsel  give  ye  me  to  re- 

7  turn  answer  to  this  people  ?  And  they  spake  unto 
him,  saying.  If  thou  be  kind  to  this  people,  and 
please  them,  and  speak  good  words  to  them,  then 

8  they  will  be  thy  servants  for  ever.  But  he  forsook 
the  counsel  of  the  old  men  which  they  had  given 
him,  and  took  counsel  with  the  young  men  that 
were  grown  up  with  him,  that  stood    before    him. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them.  What  counsel  give  ye,  that 
we  may  return  answer  to  this  people,  who  have 
spoken    to    me,  saying.    Make   the  yoke   that  thy 

10 father  did  put  upon  us  lighter?  And  the  young 
men  that  were  grown  up  with  him  spake  unto 
him,  saying.  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the  people 
that  spake  unto  thee,  saying,  Thy  father  made  our 
yoke  heavy,  but  make  thou  it  lighter  unto  us ;  thus 
shalt  thou  say  unto  them.  My  little  finger  is  thicker 

11  than  my  father's  loins.  And  now  whereas  my 
father  did  lade  you  with  a  heavy  yoke,  I  will  add 
to  your  yoke :  my  father  chastised  you  with  whips, 

1 2  but  I  will  chastise  you  with  scorpions.  So  Jer-o-bo'am 
and  all  the  people  came  to  Re-ho-bo'am  the  third  day, 
as  the  king  bade,  saying,  Come  to   me    again   the 

13 third  day.  And  the  king  answered  them  roughly; 
and  king  Re-ho-bo'am  forsook  the  counsel  of  the  old 

14  men,  and  spake  to  them  after  the  counsel  of  the 
young  men,  saying.  My  father  made  your  yoke 
heavy,  but  I  will  add  thereto :  my  father  chastised 
you  with  whips,  but  I  will  chastise  you  with  scor- 

15pions.  So  the  king  hearkened  not  unto  the  people; 
for  it  was  brought  about  of  God,  that  the  Lord 
might  establish  his  word,  which  he  spake  by  the 
hand  of  A-hi'jah  the  Shi'lo-nite  to  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of 

16  Ne'bat.  And  when  all  Is'ra-el  saw  that  the  king  heark- 
ened not  unto  them,  the  people  answered  the  king, 
saying.  What  portion  have  we  in  Da'vid?  neither  have 
we  inheritance  in  the  son  of  Jes'se :  every  man  to  your 
tents,  O  Is'ra-el :  now  see  to  thine  own  house,  Da'vid. 

17  So  all  Is'ra-el  departed  unto  their  tents.  But  as  for  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  that  dwelt  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah, 

18  Re-ho-bo'am  reigned  over  them.  Then  king  Re-ho- 
bo'am  sent  Ha-do'ram,  who  was  over  the  levy ;  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  stoned  him  with  stones,  that  he 
died.     And  king  Re-ho-bo'am  made  speed  to  get  him 

19  up  to  his  chariot,  to  flee  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  So  Is'ra-el 
rebelled  against  the  house  of  Da'vid,  unto  this  day.

3  Speak  unto  Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon,  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  to  all  Is'ra-el  in  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  saying, 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lohd,  Ye  shall  not  go  up,  nor  fight 
against  your  brethren :  return  every  man  to  his  house ;  for 
this  thing  is  done  of  me.  And  they  obeyed  the  words  of 
the  Lord,  and  returned  from  going  against  Jer-o-bo'am. 

5  T[And  Re-ho-bo'am  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  built 
cities  for  defence  in  Ju'dah. 

6  He  built  even  Beth'-le-hem,  and  E'tam,  and  Te-ko'a, 

7  And  Beth-zur,  and  Sho'co,  and  A-dul'lam, 

8  And  Gath,  and  Ma-re'shah,  and  Ziph, 

9  And  A-do-ra'im,  and  La'chish,  and  A-ze'kah, 

10  And  Zo'rah,  and  Aj'a-lon,  and  He'bron,  which  are  in 
Ju'dah  and  in  Ben'ja-min,  fenced  cities. 

11  And  he  fortified  the  strong  holds,  and  put  captains  in 
them,  and  store  of  victuals,  and  of  oil  and  wine. 

12  And  in  every  several  city  he  put  shields  and  spears,  and 
made  them  exceetiing  strong,  having  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min 
OH  his  side. 

13  ^And  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  that  were  in  all 
Is'ra-el  fresorted  to  him  out  of  all  their  coasts. 

14  For  the  Le'vites  left  "their  suburbs  and  their  possession, 
and  came  to  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  ''Jer-o-bo'am  and 
his  sons  had  cast  them  off  from  executing  the  priest's  ofiice, 
unto  the  Lord  : 

15  'And  he  ordained  him  priests  for  the  high  places,  and 
for  ■'^the  devils,  and  for  "the  calves  which  he  had  made. 

1 6  *  And  after  them,  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  such  as  set 
their  hearts  to  seek  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  cam'e  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

17  So  they  'strengthened  the  kingdom  of  Ju'dah,  and  made 
Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon  strong,  three  years:  for 
three  years  they  walked  in  the  way  of  Da'vid  and  Sol'o-mon 

18  ^And  Re-ho-bo'am  took  him  Ma'ha-Iath  the  daughter 
of  Jer'i-moth  the  son  of  Da'vid  to  wife,  and  Ab-i-ha'il  the 
daughter  of  E-li'ab  the  son  of  Jes'se  ; 

19  Which  bare  him  children,  Je'ush,  and  Sham-a-ri'ah,  and 
Za'ham.

21  And  Re-ho-bo'am  loved  Ma'a-chah  the  daughter  of 
Ab'sa-lom  above  all  his  wives  and  his  concubines:  (for  he 
took  eighteen  wives,  and  threescore  concubines ;  and  begat 
twenty  and  eight  sons,  and  threescore  daughters.) 

22  AndRe-ho-bo'am'madeA-bi'jahthesonof  Ma'a  cliah  the  chief,

23  And  he  dealt  wisely,  and  dispersed  of  all  his  children 
throughout  all  the  countries  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  unto 
every  fenced  city :  and  he  gave  them  victuals  in  abundance. 
And  he  desired  fmany  wives. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Rehoboam,  forsaking  the  Lord,  is  punished  by  Shishak. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass,  when  Re-ho-bo'am  had  established 
the  kingdom,  and  had  strengthened  himself,  'he  forsook 
the  law  of  the  Lord,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with  him. 

2  "And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  the  fifth  year  of  king  Re- 
ho-bo'am,  Shi'shak  king  of  E'gypt  came  up  against  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, because  they  had  transgressed  against  the  Lord, 

3  With  twelve  hundred  chariots,  and  threescore  thousand 
horsemen:  and  the  people  were  without  number  that  came 
with  him  out  of  E'gypt;  ''the  Lu'bim,  the  Suk'ki-im,  and 

he  E-thi-o'pi-ans. 

4  And  he  took  the  fenced  cities  which  pertained  to  Ju'dah, 
and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  ^Then  came  "Shem-a-i'ah  the  prophet  to  Re-ho-bo'am, 
and  to  the  princes  of  Ju'dah,  that  were  gathered  together  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem  because  of  Shi'shak,  and  said  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  LoRD,-'^Ye  have  forsaken  me,  and  therefore  have  I 
also  left  you  in  the  hand  of  Shi'shak. 


3  Speak  unto  Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon,  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  to  all  Is'ra-el  in  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min, 

4  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye  shall  not  go  up,  nor 
fight  against  your  brethren :  return  every  man  to  his 
house ;  for  this  thing  is  of  me.  So  they  hearkened 
unto  the  words  of  the  Lord,  and  returned  from  going 

5  against  Jer-o-bo'am.     And  Re-ho-bo'am  dwelt  in  Je- 

6  ru'sa-lem,  and  built  cities  for  defence  in  Ju'dah.    He 

7  built  even  Beth'-le-hem,  and  E'tam,  and  Te-ko'a,  and 

8  Beth-zur,  and  So'co,  and  A-dul'lam,  and  Gath,  and 

9  Ma-re'shah,  and  Ziph,  and  Ad-o-ra'im,  and  La'chish, 
lOand  A-ze'kah,  and  Zo'rah, and  Ai'ja-lon,and  He'bron, 

which  are  in  Ju'dah  and  in  Ben'ja-min,  fenced  cities. 

11  And  he  fortified  the  strong  holds,  and  put  captains 
in    them,  and  store  of  victual,  and   oil   and  wine. 

12  And  in  every  several  city  he  put  shields  and  spears, 
and  made  them  exceeding  strong.     And  Ju'dah  and 

13  Ben'ja-min  belonged  to  him.  And  the  priests  and 
the  Le'vites  that  were  in  all  Is'ra-el  resorted  to  him 

14  out  of  all  their  border.  For  the  Le'vites  left  their 
suburbs  and  their  possession,  and  came  to  Ju'dah 
and  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  Jer-o-bo'am  and  his  sons  cast 
them  off,  that  they  should  not  execute  the  priest's  office 

15 unto  the  Lord:  and  he  appointed  him  priests  for 
the  high  places,  and  for  the   'he-goats,  and  for  the 

16  calves  which  he  had  made.  And  after  them,  out  of 
all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  .such  as  set  their  hearts  to 
seek  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem 

17  to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers.  So 
they  strengthened  the  kingdom  of  Ju'dah,  and  made 
Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon  strong,  three  years:  for 
they  walked  three  years  in  the  way  of  Da'vid  and  Sol'- 

18  o-mon.  And  Re-ho-bo'am  took  him  a  wife,  Ma'ha-lath 
the  daughter  of  Jer'i-moth  the  son  of  Da' vid,  ^anrf  o/Abi- 

19  ha'il  the  daughter  of  E-li'ab  the  son  of  Jes'se  ;  and  she 
bare  him  sons  ;  Je'ush,  and  Shem-a-ri'ah,  and  Za'ham. 

20  And  after  her  he  took  *Ma'a-cah  the  daughter  of 
Ab'sa-lom ;  and  she  bare  him  A-bi'jah,  and  At'tai,  and 

21  Zi'za,  and  Shel'o-m  ith.  And  Re-ho-bo'am  loved  Ma'a- 
cah  the  daughter  of  Ab'sa-lom  above  all  his  wives  and 
his  concubines:  (for  he  took  eighteen  wives,  and 
threescore  concubines,  and  begat  twenty  and  eight 

22  sons  and  threescore  daughters.)  And  Re-ho-bo'am 
appointed  A-bi'jah  the  son  of  Ma'a-cah  to  be  chief, 
even   the    prince  among   his   brethren :    for   he   was 

23  minded  to  make  him  king.  And  he  dealt  wisely, 
and  dispersed  of  all  his  sons  throughout  all  the 
lands  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  unto  every  fenced 
city:  and  he  gave  them  victual  in  abundance.  And 
he  ■'sought /or  them  many  wives.

And   it   came    to   pass,  when    the    kingdom    of 


Re-ho-bo'am  was  established,  and  he  was  strong,  that 
he  forsook  the  law  of  the  Lord,  and  all  Is'ra-el  with 

2  him.  ''And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fifth  year  of  king

6  Whereupon  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  king  'humbled 
themselves  ;  and  they  said,  ''The  Lord  is  righteous. 

7  And  when  the  Lord  saw  that  they  humbled  themselves, 
'the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Shem-a-i'ah,  saying,  They 
have  humbled  themselves;  therefore  I  will  not  destroy 
them,  but  I  will  grant  them  ||some  deliverance;  and  my 
wrath  shall  not  be  poured  out  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem  by  the  hand 
of  Shi'shak. 

8  Nevertheless  *they  shall  be  his  servants ;  that  they  may 
know  'my  service,  and  the  service  of  the  kingdoms  of  the 
countries. 

9  "So  Shi'shak  king  of  E'gypt  came  up  against  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  took  away  the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  treasures  of  the  king's  house;  he  took  all:  he  carried 
away  also  the  shields  of  gold  which  Sol'o-mon  had  "made. 

10  Instead  of  which  king  Re-ho-bo'am  made  shields  of 
brass,  and  committed  them  "to  the  hands  of  the  chief  of  the 
guard,  that  kept  the  entrance  of  the  king's  house. 

1 1  And  when  the  king  entered  into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
the  guard  came  and  fetched  them,  and  brought  them  again 
into  the  guardchamber. 

12  And  when  he  humbled  himself,  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
turned  from  him,  that  he  would  not  destroy  Aim  altogether : 
II  and  also  in  Ju'dah  things  went  well. 

13  ^So  king  Re-ho-bo'am  strengthened  himself  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  reigned :  for  ''Re-ho-bo'am  was  one  and  forty 
years  old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned  seventeen 
years  in  Je-ru's^-lem,  "the  city  which  the  Lord  had  chosen 
out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  to  put  his  name  there.  And 
his  mother's  name  was  Na'a-mah  an  Am'mon-i-tess. 

14  And  he  did  evil,  because  he  ||  prepared  not  his  heart  to 
seek  the  Lord. 

15  Now  the  acts  of  Re-ho-bo'am,  first  and  last,  are  they  not 
written  in  the  fbook  of  Shem-a-i'ah  the  prophet,  ""and  of  Id'do 
the  seer  concerning  genealogies?  'And  there  were  wars 
between  Re-ho-bo'am  and  Jer-o-bo'am  continually. 

16  And  Re-ho-bo'am  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  was 
buried  in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and  'A-bi'jah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

Abijah  succeeding^  maketh  war  against  Jeroboam. 

"VrOW  "in  the  eighteenth  year  of  king  Jer-o-bo'am  began 
-Li    A-bi'jah  to  reign  over  Ju'dah. 

2  He  reigned  three  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  His  mother's 
name  also  was  'Mi-cha'iah  the  daughter  of  U'ri-el  of  Gib'e-ah. 
And  there  was  war  between  A-bi'jah  and  Jer-o-bo'am. 

3  And  A-bi'jah  fset  the  battle  in  array  with  an  army  of 
valiant  men  of  war,  even  four  hundred  thousand  chosen 
men :  Jer-o-bo'am  also  set  the  battle  in  array  against  him 
with  eight  hundred  thousand  chosen  men,  being  mighty 
men  of  valour. 

4  ^And  A-bi'jah  .stood  up  upon  mount  "^Zem-a-ra'im,  which 
is  in  mount  E'phra-im,  and  said.  Hear  me,  thou  Jer-o-bo'am, 
and  all  Is'ra-el; 

5  Ought  ye  not  to  know  that  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el 
''gave  the  kingdom  over  Is'ra-el  to  Da'vid  for  ever,  even  to 
him  and  to  his  sons  'by  a  covenant  of  salt? 

6  Yet  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat,the  servant  of  Sol'o-mon  the 
son  of  Da'vid,  is  risen  up,  and  hath -^rebelled  against  his  lord. 

7  And  there  are  gathered  unto  him  "vain  men,  the  chil- 
dren of  Be'li-al,  and  have  strengthened  themselves  against 
Re-ho-bo'am  the  son  of  Sol'o-mon,  when  Re-ho-bo'am  was 
young  and  tenderhearted,  and  could  not  withstand  them. 

8  And  now  ye  think  to  withstand  the  kingdom  of  the 
Lord  in  the  hand  of  the  sons  of  Da'vid ;  and  ye  be  a  great 
multitude,  and  there  are  with  you  golden  calves,  which 
Jer-o-bo'am  ''made  you  for  gods. 

9  'Have  ye  not  cast  out  the  priests  of  the  Lord,  the  sons 
of  Aa'ron,  and  the  Le'vites,  and   have  made  you  priests 


6  Then  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  king  humbled 
themselves;  and  they  said.  The  Lord  is  righteous. 

7  And  when  the  Lord  saw  that  they  humbled  them- 
selves, the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Shem-a-i'ah,  say- 
ing,  They  have  humbled  themselves ;  I  will  not  de- 
stroy them :  but  I  will  grant  them  'some  deliverance, 
and  my  wrath  shall  not  be  poured  out  upon  Je-ru'sa- 

8  lem  by  the  hand  of  Shi'shak.  Nevertheless  they  shall 
be  his  servants;  that  they  may  know  my  service,  and 

9  the  service  of  the  kingdoms  of  the  countries.  So 
Shi'shak  king  of  E'gypt  came  up  against  Je-ru'.sa-lem, 
and  took  away  the  treasures  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the  king's  house ; 
he  took  all   away :  ^e   took  away  also   the    shields 

10  of  gold  which  Sol'o-mon  had  made.  And  king 
Re-ho-bo'am  made  in  their  stead  shields  of  brass, 
and  committed  them  to  the  hands  of  the  cap- 
tains of  the  ^guard,  that  kept  the  door  of  the  king's 

11  house.  And  it  was  so,  that  as  oft  as  the  king  en- 
tered into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  the  guard  came 
and   bare   them,   and   brought  them   back  into  the 

12  guard  chamber.  And  when  he  humbled  him.self, 
the  wrath  of  the  Lord  turned  from  him,  that  he 
would  not   destroy  him  altogether:    and    moreover 

13  in  Ju'dah  Hhere  were  good  things  found.  ''So  king 
Re-ho-bo'am  strengthened himselfinJe-ru'.sa-lem,  and 
reigned:  for  Re-ho-bo'am  was  forty  and  one  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned  .seven- 
teen years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  city  which  the  Lord 
had  chosen  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  to  put  his 
name  there :  and  his  mother's  name  was  Na  a-mah 

14  the  Am'mon-i-tess.  And  he  did  that  which  M'as  evil, 
because  he  set   not  his   heart   to    seek    the    I.1ORD. 

15 'Now  the  acts  of  Re-ho-bo'am,  first  and  last,  are  they 
not  written  in  the  histories  of  Shem-a-i'ah  the  prophet 
and  of  Id'do  the  seer,  "after  the  manner  of  genealo- 
gies?    And  there  were  wars  between  Re-ho-bo'am 

16  and  Jer-o-bo'am  continually.  And  Re-ho-bo'am  slept 
with  his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the  city  of 
Da'vid:  and  A-bi'jah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

1*5     'In  the  eighteenth  year  of  king  Jer-o-bo'am  began 

2  A-bi'jah  to  reign  over  Ju'dah.  Three  years  reigned 
he  in  Je-ru-sa'lem :  and  his  mother's  name  was 
'Mi-ca'iah  the  daughter  of  U'ri-el  of  Gib'e-ah.  "And 

3  there  was  war  between  A-bi'jah  and  Jer-o-bo'am.  And 
A-bi'jah  joined  battle  with  an  army  of  valiant  men  of 
war,  even  four  hundred  thousand  chosen  men :  and 
Jer-o-bo'am  set  the  battle  in  array  against  him  with 
eight    hundred    thousand    chosen    men,   who    were 

4  mighty  men  of  valour.  And  A-bi'jah  stood  up  upon 
mount  Zem-a-ra'im,  which  is  in  the  hill  country  of 
E'phra-im,  and  said,  Hear  me,  O  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all 

5  Is'ra-el ;  ought  ye  not  to  know  that  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  gave  the  kingdom  over  Is'ra-el  to 
Da'vid  for  ever,  even  to  him  and  to  his  sons  by  a 

6  covenant  of  salt  ?  Yet  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Ne'bat, 
the  servant  of  Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid,  rose  up, 

7  and  rebelled  against  his  lorr?.  And  there  were 
gathered  unto  him  vain  men,  sons  of  "Be'li-al,  which 
strengthened  themselves  against  Re-ho-bo'am  the  son 
ofSol'o-monwhen  Re-ho-bo'am  was  youngandtender- 

8  hearted,  and  could  not  withstand  them.  And  now 
ye  think  to  withstand  the  kingdom  of  the  Lord  in 
the  hand  of  the  sons  of  Da'vid :  and  ye  be  a  great 
multitude,  and  there  are  with  you  the  golden  calves 

9  which  Jer-o-bo'am  made  you  for  gods.  Have  ye  not 
driven  out  the  priests  of  the  Lord,  the  sons  of 
Aa'ron,  and  the  Le'vites,  and  have  made  you  priests

after  the  manner  of  the  nations  of  other  lands  ?  *so  that  whoso- 
ever Cometh  fto  consecrate  himself  with  a  young  bullock  and 
seven  rams,  the  same  may  be  a  priest  of  them  that  are  no  gods. 

10  But  as  for  us,  the  Lord  is  our  God,  and  we  have  not  for- 
saken him ;  and  the  priests,  which  minister  unto  the  Lord,  are 
the  sons  of  Aa'ron,  and  the  Le'vites  wait  upon  their  business : 

11  'And  they  burn  unto  the  Lord  every  niorning  and 
every  evening  burnt  sacrifices  and  sweet  incense  :  the  '"shew- 
bread  also  set  they  in  order  upon  the  pure  table;  and  the 
candlestick  of  gold  with  the  lamps  thereof,  "to  burn  every 
evening:  for  we  keep  the  charge  of  the  Lord  our  God; 
but  ye  have  forsaken  him. 

12  And,  behold,  God  himself  is  with  us  for  our  captain, 
"and  his  priests  with  sounding  trumpets  to  cry  alarm  against 
you.  O  children  of  Is'ra-el,  "fight  ye  not  against  the  Lord 
God  of  your  fathers ;  for  ye  shall  not  pro.sper. 

13  ^But  Jer-o-bo'am  caused  an  ambushment  to  come  about 
behind  them :  so  they  were  before  Ju'dah,  and  the  ambush- 
ment loas  behind  them. 

14  And  when  Ju'dah  looked  back,  behold,  the  battle  was 
before  and  behind :  and  they  cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  the 
priests  sounded  with  the  trumpets. 

15  Then  the  men  of  Ju'dah  gave  a  shout:  and  as  the  men 
of  Ju'dah  shouted,  it  came  to  pass,  that  God  'smote  Jer-o- 
bo'am  and  all  Is'ra-el  before  A-bi'jah  and  Ju'dah. 

16  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  fled  before  Ju'dah:  and  God 
delivered  them  into  their  hand. 

17  And  A-bi'jah  and  his  people  slew  them  with  a  great 
slaughter :  so  there  fell  down  slain  of  Is'ra-el  five  hundred 
thousand  chosen  men. 

18  Thus  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  brought  under  at  that 
time,  and  the  children  of  Ju'dah  prevailed,  ''because  they 
relied  upon  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

19  And  A-bi'jah  pursued  after  Jer-o-bo'am,  ind  took  cites 
from  him,  Beth'-el  with  the  towns  thereof,  and  Jesh'a-nah 
with  the  towns  thereof,  and  E'phra-im  with  the  towns 
thereof. 

20  Neither  did  Jer-o-bo'am  recover  strength  again  in  the 
days  of  A-bi'jah :  and  the  Lord  'struck  him,  and  "he  died. 

21  ^But  A-bi'jah  waxed  mighty,and  married  fourteen  wives, 
and  begat  twenty  and  two  sons,  and  sixteen  daughters. 

22  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  A-bi'jah,  and  his  ways,  and 
his  sayings,  are  written  in  the  |1  story  of  the  prophet ''Id'do. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Asa  destroyeth  idolatry,  and  overcometh  Zerah. 

SO  A-bi'jah  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and  "A'sa  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead.     In  his  days  the  land  was  quiet  ten  years. 

2  And  A'sa  did  that  which  was  good  and  right  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord  his  God : 

3  For  he  took  away  the  altars  of  the  strange  gods,  and 
'the  high  places,  and  "brake  down  the  fimages,  ''and  cut 
down  the  groves : 

4  And  commanded  Ju'dah  to  seek  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers,  and  to  do  the  law  and  the  commandment. 

5  Also  he  took  away  out  of  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  the  high 
places  and  the  fimages:  and  the  kingdom  was  quiet  before  him. 

6  ^And  he  built  fenced  cities  iu  Ju'dah :  for  the  land  had 
rest,  and  he  had  no  war  in  those  years ;  because  the  Lord 
had  given  him  rest. 

7  Therefore  he  said  unto  Ju'dah,  Let  us  build  these  cities, 
and  make  about  them  walls  and  towers,  gates  and  bars, 
while  the  land  is  yet  before  us ;  because  we  have  sought  the 
Lord  our  God,  we  have  sought  him,  and  he  hath  given  us 
rest  on  every  side.     So  they  built,  and  prospered. 

8  And  A'sa  had  an  army  of  men  that  bare  targets  and 
spears,  out  of  Ju'dah  three  hundred  thousand ;  and  out  of 
Benjamin,  that  bare  sliields  and  drew  bows,  two  hundred  and 
fourscore  thousand :  all  these  were  mighty  men  of  valour.      | 


after  the  manner  of  the  peoples  of  other  lands?  so 
that  whosoever  cometh  to  consecrate  himself  with 
a  young  bullock  and  seven  rams,  the  same  may  be 

10a  priest  of  them  that  are  no  gods.  But  as  for  us,  the 
Lord  is  our  God,  and  we  have  not  forsaken  him ; 
and  we  have  priests  ministering  unto  the  Lord,  the 

11  sons  of  Aa'ron,  and  the  Le'vites  in  their  work :  and 
they  burn  unto  the  Lord  every  morning  and  every 
evening  burnt  offerings  and  sweet  incense :  the  shew- 
bread  also  set  they  in  order  upon  the  pure  table ;  and 
the  candlestick  of  gold  with  the  lamps  thereof,  to 
burn  every  evening :  for  we  keep  the  charge  of  the 

12 Lord  our  God;  but  ye  have  forsaken  him.  And, 
behold,  God  is  with  us  at  our  head,  and  his  priests 
with  the  trumpets  of  alarm  to  sound  an  alarm  against 
you.  O  children  of  Is'ra-el,  fight  ye  not  against  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  your  fathers ;    for  ye   shall   not 

13  prosper.  But  Jer-o-bo'am  caused  an  ambushment 
to  come  about  behind  them:    so  they  were  before 

14  Ju'dah,  and  the  ambushment  was  behind  them.  And 
when  Ju'dah  looked  back,  behold,  the  battle  was 
before  and  behind  them:  and  they  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  and  the  priests  sounded  with  the  trumpets. 

15 Then  the  men  of  Ju'dah  gave  a  shout:   and  as  the 

men  of  Ju'dah  shouted,  it  came  to  pass,  that  God 

.  smote  Jer-o-bo'am  and  all  Is'ra-el  before  A-bi'jah  and 

16  Ju'dah.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  fled  before  Ju'dah: 

17  and  God  delivered  them  into  their  hand.  And 
A-bi'jah  and  his  people  slew  them  with  a  great 
slaughter :  so  there  fell  down  slain  of  Is'ra-el  five 

18  hundred  thousand  chosen  men.  Thus  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  were  brought  under  at  that  time,  and  the 
children  of  Ju'dah   prevailed,  because   they  relied 

19  upon  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers.  And 
A-bi'jah  pursued  after  Jer-o-bo'am,  and  took  cities  from 
him,  Beth'-el  with  the  towns  thereof,  and  Jesh'a-nah 
with  the  towns  thereof,  and  'E'phron  with  the  towns 

20  thereof.  Neither  did  Jer-o-bo  am  recover  strength 
again  in  the  days  of  A-bi'jah :  and  the  Lord  smote 

21  him,  and  he  died.  But  A-bi'jah  waxed  mighty,  and 
took  unto  himself  fourteen  wives,  and  begat  twenty 

22  and  two  sons,  and  sixteen  daughters.  And  the  rest 
of  the  acts  of  A-bi'jah,  and  his  ways,  and  his  sayings, 
are  Avritten  in  the  commentary  of  the  prophet  Id'do. 

J-"^  ^So  A-bi'jah  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  they  buried 
him  in  the  city  of  Da'vid,  and  A'sa  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead :  in  his  days  the  land  was  quiet  ten  years. 

2  And  A'sa  did  that  which  was  good  and  right  in  the 

3  eyes  of  the  Lord  his  God :  for  he  took  away  the 
strange  altars,  and  the  high  places,  and  brake  down 

4  the  ^pillars,  and  hewed  down  the  ''Ash'er-im;  and 
commanded  Ju'dah  to  seek  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
their  fathers,  and  to  do  the  law  and  the  command- 

Sment.  Also  he  took  away  out  of  all  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah  the  high  places  and  the  sun-images :  and  the 

6  kingdom  was  quiet  before  him.  And  he  built  fenced 
cities  in  Ju'dah :  for  the  land  was  quiet,  and  he  had 
no  war  in  those  years ;  because  the  Lord  had  given 

7  him  rest.  For  he  said  unto  Ju'dah,  Let  us  build 
these  cities,  and  make  about  them  walls  and  towers, 
gates,  and  bars;  the  land  is  yet  before  us,  because 
we  have  sought  the  Lord  our  God ;  we  have  sought 
him,  and  he  hath  given  us  rest  on  every  side.     So 

8  they  built  and  prospered.  And  A'sa  had  an  army 
that  bare  bucklers  and  spears,  out  of  Ju'dah  three 
hundred  thousand ;  and  out  of  Ben'ja-min,  that  bare 
shields  and  drew  bows,  two  hundred  and  fourscore 
thousand :   all  these  were   mighty  men  of  valour.

9  51' And  there  came  out  against  them  Ze'rah,  the  E-thi- 
o'pi-an,  with  a  host  of  a  thousand  thousand,  and  three  hun- 
dred cnariots;  and  came  unto  ■'^Ma-re'shah. 

10  Then  A'sa  went  out  against  him,  and  they  set  the  battle 
in  array  in  the  valley  of  Zeph'a-thah  at  Ma-re'shah. 

1 1  And  A'sa  "cried  unto  the  Lord  his  God,  and  said, 
Lord,  it  is  ''nothing  with  thee  to  help,  whether  with  many, 
or  with  them  that  have  no  power :  help  us,  O  Lord  our 
God ;  for  we  rest  on  thee,  and  'in  thy  name  we  go  against 
this  multitude.  O  Lord,  thou  art  our  God;  let  not  ||  man 
prevail  against  thee. 

12  So  the  Lord  *smote  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans  before  A'sa,  and 
before  Ju'dah ;  and  the  E-tbi-o'pi-ans  fled. 

13  And  A'sa  and  the  people  that  were  with  him  pursued 
them  unto  'Ge'rar:  and  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans  were  overthrown, 
that  they  could  not  recover  themselves;  for  they  were 
fdestroyed  before  the  Lord,  and  before  his  host;  and  they 
carried  away  very  much  spoil. 

14  And  they  smote  all  the  cities  round  about  Ge'rar; 
for  "the  fear  of  the  Lord  came  upon  them:  and  they 
spoiled  all  the  cities;  for  there  was  exceeding  much  spoil 
in  them. 

15  They  smote  also  the  tents  of  cattle,  and  carried  away 
sheep  and  camels  in  abundance,  and  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER   XV. 

Asa  and Judah  make  a  covenant  with  God, 

AND''the  spirit  of  God  cameupon  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  O'ded: 
2  And  he  went  out  to  fmeet  A'sa,  and  said  unto  him. 
Hear  ye  me,  A'sa,  and  all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min ;  ''The  Lord 
is  with  you,  while  ye  be  with  him;  and  'if  ye  seek  him, 
he  will  be  found  of  you ;  but  ''if  ye  forsake  him,  he  will  for- 
sake you. 

3  Now  'for  a  long  season  Is'ra-el  haih  been  without  the  true 
God,  and  without  -^a  teaching  priest,  and  without  law. 

4  But  "when  they  in  their  trouble  did  turn  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  sought  him,  he  was  found  of  them. 

5  And  *in  those  times  there  was  no  peace  to  him  that  went 
out,  nor  to  him  that  came  in,  but  great  vexations  were  upon 
all  the  inhabitants  of  the  countries. 

6  "And  nation  was  || destroyed  of  nation,  and  city  of  city: 
for  God  did  vex  them  with  all  adversity. 

7  Be  ye  strong  therefore,  and  let  not  your  hands  be  weak : 
for  your  work  shall  be  rewarded. 

8  And  when  A'sa  heard  these  words,  and  the  prophecy 
of  O'ded  the  prophet,  he  took  courage,  and  put  away  the 
fabominable  idols  out  of  all  the  land  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'- 
ja-min, and  out  of  the  cities  *which  he  had  taken  from 
mount  E'phra-im,  and  renewed  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  that 
was  before  the  porch  of  the  Lord. 

9  And  he  gathered  all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  and  'the  stran- 

fers  with  them  out  of  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh,  and  out  of 
im'e-on :  for  they  fell  to  him  out  of  Is'ra-el  in  abundance, 
when  they  saw  that  the  Lord  his  God  was  with  him. 

10  So  they  gathered  themselves  together  at  Je-ru'.sa-lem 
in  the  third  month,  in  the  fifteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  A'sa. 

11  "And  they  offered  unto  the  Lord  fthe  same  time,  of 
"the  spoil  which  they  had  brought,  seven  hundred  oxen  and 
seven  thousand  sheep. 

12  And  they  "entered  into  a  covenant  to  seek  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers  with  all  their  heart  and  with  all  their  soul; 

13  "That  whosoever  would  not  seek  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el  'should  be  put  to  death,  whether  small  or  great, 
whether  man  or  woman. 

14  And  they  sware  unto  the  Lord  with  a  loud  voice,  and 
with  shouting,  and  with  trumpets,  and  with  cornets. 

15  And  all  Ju'dah  rejoiced  at  the  oath ;  for  they  had  sworn 
with  all  their  heart,  and  ""sought  him  with  their  whole 
desire;  and  he  was  found  of  them:  and  the  Lord  gave 
them  rest  round  about. 


9  And  there  came  out  against  them  Ze'rah  the  E-thi-o'- 

Ei-an  with  an  army  of  a  thousand  thousand,  and  three 
undred  chariots;   and  he  came   unto  Ma-re'shah. 

10  Then  A'sa  went  out  to  meet  him,  and  they  set  the 
battle  in  array  in  the  valley  of  Zeph'a-thah  at  Ma-re'- 

11  shah.  And  A'sa  cried  unto  the  Lord  his  God,  and 
said.  Lord,  'there  is  none  ^beside  thee  to  help, 
between  the  mighty  and  him  that  hath  no  strength : 
help  us,  O  Lord  our  God  ;  for  we  rely  on  thee,  and 
in  thy  name  are  we  come  against  this  multitude. 
O  Lord,  thou  art  our   God;   let  not  man  prevail 

12  against  thee.  So  the  Lord  smote  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans 
before  A'sa  and  before  Ju'dah ;  and  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans 

13  fled.  And  A'sa  and  the  people  that  were  with  him 
pursued  them  unto  Ge'rar:  and  there  fell  of  the 
E-thi-o'pi-ans  'so  many  that  they  could  not  recover 
themselves;  for  they  were  destroyed  before  the 
Lord,  and  before  his  host:  and  they  carried  away 

14  very  much  booty.  And  they  smote  all  the  cities 
round  about  Ge'rar ;  for  'the  fear  of  the  Lord  came 
upon  them :  and  they  spoiled  all  the  cities ;  for  there 

15  was  much  spoil  in  them.  They  smote  also  the  tents 
of  cattle,  and  carried  away  sheep  in  abundance  and 
camels,  and  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

+0     And  the  spirit  of  God  came  upon  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son 

2  of  O'ded :  and  he  went  out  to  meet  A'sa,  and  said 
unto  him.  Hear  ye  me,  A'sa  and  all  Ju'dah  and 
Ben'ja-min :  the  Lord  is  with  you,  while  ye  be  with 
him ;  and  if  ye  seek  him,  he  will  be  found  of  you ; 

3  but  if  ye  forsake  him,  he  will  forsake  you.  Now  for 
'long  seasons  Is'ra-el  hath  been  without  the  true  God, 

4  and  without  a  teaching  priest,  and  without  law  :  but 
when  in  their  distress  they  turned  unto  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  sought  him,  he  was  found  of 

5  them.  And  in  those  times  there  was  no  peace  to 
him  that  went  out,  nor  to  him  that  came  in,  but  great 
vexations  were  upon  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  lands. 

6  And  they  were  broken  in  pieces,  nation  against 
nation,  and  city  against  city :  for  God  did  vex  them 

7  with  all  adversity.     But  be  ye  strong,  and  let  not 
your  hands  be   slack:  for  your  work  shall  be  re- 
Swarded.     And  when  A'sa  heard  these  words,  ^and 

the  prophecy  of  O'ded  the  prophet,  he  took  courage, 
and  put  away  the  abominations  out  of  all  the  land 
of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  and  out  of  the  cities  which 
he  had  taken  from  the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im ;  and 
he  renewed  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  that  was  before 
9  the  porch  of  the  Lord.  And  he  gathered  all  Ju'dah 
and  Ben'ja-min,  and  them  that  sojourned  with  them 
out  of  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh,  and  out  of  Sim'e-on: 
for  they  fell  to  him  out  of  Is'ra-el  in  abundance,  when 

10  they  saw  that  the  Lord  his  God  was  with  him.  So 
they  gathered  them.selves  together  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  in 
the  third  month,  in  the  fifteenth  year  of  the  reign  of 

1 1  A'sa.  And  they  sacrificed  unto  the  Lord  in  that 
day,  of  the  spoil   which   they  had   brought,  seven 

12  hundred  oxen  and  seven  thousand  sheep.  And 
they  entered  into  the  covenant  to  seek  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  their  fathers,  with  all  their  heart  and  with 

13all  their  soul;  and  that  whosoever  would  not  seek 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  should  be  put  to  death, 
whether  small  or  great,  whether   man  or  woman. 

14  And  they  sware  unto  the  Lord  with  a  loud  voice, 
and  with  shouting,   and  with   trumpets,  and  with 

15 cornets.  And  all  Ju'dah  rejoiced  at  the  oath:  for 
they  had  sworn  with  all  their  heart,  and  sought 
him  with  their  whole  desire;  and  he  was  found  of 
them :  and  the  Lord  gave  them  rest  round  about.

the  king,  he  removed  her  from  being  queen,  because  she  had 
made  an  fidol  in  a  grove  :  and  A'sa  cut  down  her  idol,  and 
stamped  it,  and  burnt  it  at  the  brook  Kid'ron. 

17  But  'the  high  places  were  not  taken  away  out  of  Is'ra-el : 
nevertheless  the  heart  of  A'sa  was  perfect  all  his  days. 

18  ^And  he  brought  into  the  house  of  God  the  things 
that  his  father  had  dedicated,  and  that  he  himself  had 
dedicated,  silver,  and  gold,  and  vessels. 

19  And  there  was  no  more  war  unto  the  five  and  thirtieth 
year  of  the  reign  of  A'sa. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

Asa  diverteth  Baasha  from  building  of  Ramah. 

IN  the  sixth  and  thirtieth  year  of  the  reign  of  A'sa, 
"Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is'ra-el  came  up  against  Ju'dah,  and 
built  Ra'mah,  ''to  the  intent  that  he  might  let  none  go  out 
or  come  in  to  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah. 

2  Then  A'sa  brought  out  silver  and  gold  out  of  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  and  of  the  king's  house, 
and  sent  to  Ben-ha'dad  king  of  Syr'i-a,  that  dwelt  at  fDa- 
mas'cus,  saying, 

3  There  is  a  league  between  me  and  thee,  as  there  was 
between  my  father  and  thy  father:  behold,  I  have  sent  thee 
silver  and  gold ;  go,  break  thy  league  with  Ba'a-sha,  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  he  may  depart  from  me. 

4  And  Ben-ha'dad  hearkened  unto  king  A'sa,  and  sent  the 
captains  of  fhls  armies  against  the  cities  of  Is'ra-el;  and 
they  smote  I'jon,  and  Dan,  and  A'bel-ma'im,  and  all  the 
store  cities  of  Naph'ta-li. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ba'a-sha  heard  it,  that  he  left 
off  building  of  Ra'mah,  and  let  his  work  cease. 

6  Then  A'sa  the  king  took  all  Ju'dah ;  and  they  carried 
away  the  stones  of  Ra'mah,  and  the  timber  thereof,  where- 
with Ba'a-sha  was  building;  and  he  built  therewith  Ge'ba 
and  Miz'pah. 

7  ^And  at  that  time  "Ha-na'ni  the  seer  came  to  A'sa  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  said  unto  him,  ''Because  thou  hast  relied  on  the 
king  of  Syr'i-a,  and  not  relied  on  the  Lord  thy  God,  therefore 
is  the  host  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  escaped  out  of  thine  hand. 

8  Were  not  'the  E-thi-o'pi-ans  and-^the  Lu'bim  fa  huge  host, 
with  very  many  chariots  and  horsemen  ?  yet,  because  thou 
didst  rely  on  the  Lord,  he  delivered  them  into  thine  hand. 

9  "For  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  run  to  and  fro  throughout  the 
whole  earth,  ||to  shew  himself  strong  in  the  behalf  of  them 
whose  heart  is  perfect  toward  him.  Herein  *thou  hast  done 
foolishly :  therefore  from  henceforth  'thou  shalt  have  wars. 

10  Then  A'sa  was  wroth  with  the  seer,  and  *put  him  in  a 
prison  house ;  for  he  was  in  a  rage  with  him  because  of  this 
thing.  And  A'sa  foppressed  some  of  the  people  the  same  time. 

11  ^  And,  behold,  the  acts  of  A'sa,  first  and  last,  lo,  they 
are  written  in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el. 

12  And  A'sa  in  the  thirty  and  ninth  year  of  his  reign  was 
diseased  in  his  feet,  until  his  disease  was  exceeding  ^rreai;  yet 
in  his  disease  he  "sought  not  to  the  Lord,  but  to  the  physicians. 

13  ^"And  A'sa  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  died  in  the  one 
and  fortieth  year  of  his  reign. 

14  And  they  buried  him  in  his  own  sepulchres,  which  he 
had  fnaade  for  him.self  in  the  city  of  Da  vid,  and  laid  him 
in  the  bed  which  was  filled  "with  sweet  odours  and  divers 
kinds  of  spices  prepared  by  the  apothecaries'  art :  and  they 
made  "&  very  great  burning  for  him. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

Jehoshaphat,  succeeding  Asa,  reigneth  and  prosperetk. 

AND  "Je-hosh'a-phat  his  son   reigned  in  his  stead,  and 
strengthened  himself  against  Is'ra-el. 

2  And  he  placed  forces  in  all  the  fenced  cities  of  Ju'dah, 
and  set  garrisons  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  cities 
of  E'phra-im,  '"which  A'sa  his  father  had  taken. 

3  And  the  Lord  was  with  Je-hosh'a-phat,  because  he  walked 


16  'And  also  Ma'a-cah  the  mother  of  A'sa  the  king,  he 
removed  her  from  being  ■'queen,  because  she  had 
made  an  abominable  image 'for  an  Ash'er-ah ;  andA'sa 
cut  down  her  image,  and  made  dust  of  it,  and  burnt 

17  it  at  the  brook  Kid'ron.  But  the  high  places  were 
not  taken  away  out  of  Is'ra-el :  nevertheless  the  heart 

18  of  A'sa  was  perfect  all  his  days.  And  he  brought 
into  the  house  of  God  the  things  that  his  father  had 
dedicated,  and  that  he  himself  had  dedicated,  silver, 

19  and  gold,  and  vessels.  And  there  was  no  more  war 
unto  the  five  and  thirtieth  year  of  the  reign  of  A'sa. 

lo  <In  the  six  and  thirtieth  year  of  the  reign  of  A'sa, 
Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is'ra-el  went  up  against  Ju'dah,  and 
built  Ra'mah,  that  he  might  not  suffer  any  to  go  out 

2  or  come  in  to  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah.  Then  A'sa  brought 
out  silver  and  gold  out  of  the  treasures  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord  and  of  the  king's  house,  and  sent  to 
Ben-ha'dad  king  of  Syr'i-a,  that  dwelt  at  *Da-mas'cus, 

3  saying,  ^  There  is  a  league  between  me  and  thee,  as 
there  was  between  my  father  and  thy  father :  behold, 
I  have  sent  thee  silver  and  gold;  go,  break  thy

and  A'bel-ma'im,  and  all  the  'store  cities  of  Naph'ta-li. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Ba'a-sha  heard  thereof, 
that  he  left  off  building  of  Ra'mah,  and  let  his  work 

6  cease.  Then  A'sa  the  king  took  all  Ju'dah ;  and  they 
carried  away  the  stones  of  Ra'mah,  and  the  timber 
thereof,  wherewith   Ba'a-sha  had   builded;   and  he 

7  built  therewith  Ge'ba  and  Miz'pah.  And  at  that  time 
Ha-na'ni  the  seer  came  to  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah,  and 
said  unto  him.  Because  thou  hast  relied  on  the  king 
of  Syr'i-a,  and  hast  not  relied  on  the  Lord  thy  God, 
therefore  is  the  host  of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  escaped  out 

8  of  thine  hand.  Were  not  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans  and  the 
Lu'bim  a  huge  host,  with  chariots  and  horsemen 
exceeding  many?  yet,  because  thou  didst  rely  on

9  '■And  they  taught  in  Ju'dah,  and  had  the  book  of  the  law 
of  the  Lord  with  them,  and  went  about  throughout  all  the 
cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  taught  the  people. 

10  ^And  *the  fear  of  the  Lord  ffell  upon  all  the  king- 
doms of  the  lands  that  were  round  about  Ju'dah,  so  that  they 
made  no  war  against  Je-hosh'a-phat. 

11  Also  smnc  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  ^brought  Je-hosh'a-phat 
presents,  and  tribute  silver;  and  the  A-ra'bi-ans  brought 
him  flocks,  seven  thousand  and  seven  hundred  rams,  and 
seven  thousand  and  seven  hundred  he-goats. 

12  ^And  Je-hosh'a-phat  waxed  great  exceedingly;  and  he 
built  in  Ju'dah  ||  castles,  and  cities  of  store. 

13  And  he  had  much  business  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah :  and 
the  men  of  war,  mighty  men  of  valour,  were  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14  And  these  are  the  numbers  of  them  according  to  the 
house  of  their  fathers :  Of  Ju'dah,  the  captains  of  thousands ; 
Ad'nah  the  chief,  and  with  him  mighty  men  of  valour  three 
hundred  thousand. 

15  And  fnext  to  him  was  Je-ho-ha'nan  the  captain,  and 
with  him  two  hundred  and  fourscore  thousand. 

16  And  next  him  was  Am-a-si'ah  the  son  of  Zich'ri,  'who 
willingly  offered  himself  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  with  him  two 
hundred  thousand  mighty  men  of  valour.

18  And  next  him  was  Je-hoz'a-bad,  and  with  him  a  hun- 
dred and  fourscore  thousand  ready  prepared  for  the  war. 

19  These  waited  on  the  king,  besides  '^those  whom  the 
king  put  in  the  fenced  cities  throughout  all  Ju'dah. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Jekoshaphat  goeth  with  Ahab  against  Ramoth-gilead. 

"VrOW  Je-hosh'a-phat  "had  riches  and  honour  in  abundance, 
-Li    and  ^joined  affinity  with  A'hab. 

2  "And  fafter  certain  years  he  went  down  to  A'hab  to 
Sa-ma'ria.  And  A'hab  killed  sheep  and  oxen  for  him  in 
abundance,  and  for  the  people  that  he  had  with  him,  and 
persuaded  him  to  go  up  with  him  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

3  And  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat 
king  of  Ju'dah,  Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  ? 
And  he  answered  him,  I  am  as  thou  art,  and  my  people  as 
thy  people ;  and  we  will  be  with  thee  in  the  war. 

4  TfAnd  Je-hosh'a-phat  said  unto  the  king  of  Is'ra-el, 
''Inquire,  I  pray  thee,  at  the  word  of  the  Lord  to-day. 

5  Therefore  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  gathered  together  of 
prophets  four  hundred  men,  and  said  unto  them.  Shall  we 
go  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or  shall  I  forbear  ?  And  they 
said,  Go  up ;  for  God  will  deliver  it  into  the  king's  hand. 

6  But  Je-hosh'a-phat  said.  Is  there  not  here  a  prophet  of  the 
Lord  fbesides,  that  we  might  inquire  of  him  ? 

7  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Tfiere 
is  yet  one  man,  by  whom  we  may  inquire  of  the  Lord  :  but 
I  hate  him;  for  he  never  propnesieth  good  unto  me,  but 


in  the  first   ways  of  his  father  Da'vid,  and  sought 

4 not  unto  the  Ba'al-im;  but  sought  to  the  God  of 

his  father,  and  walked  in  his  commandments,  and 

5  not  after  the  doings  of  Is'ra-el.  Therefore  the  Lord 
stablished  the  kingdom  in  his  hand ;  and  all  Ju'dah 
brought  to  Je-hosh'a-phat  presents ;  and  he  had  riches 

6  and  honour  in  abundance.  And  his  heart  was  lifted 
up  in  the  ways  of  the  Lord  :  and  furthermore  he 
took  away  the  high  places  and  the  Ash'er-im  out  of 

7  Ju'dah.  Also  in  the  third  year  of  his  reign  he  sent 
his  princes,  even  Ben-ha'il,  and  O-ba-di'ah,  and  Zech-a- 
ri'ah,  and  Neth'a-nel,  and  Mi-ca'iah,  to  teach  in  the 

8  cities  of  Ju'dah ;  and  with  them  the  Le'vites,  even 
Shem-a-i'ah,  and Ne-tha-ni'ah, and  Zeb-a-di'ah, and  A'sa- 
hel,andShe-mir'a-moth,andJe-hon'a-than,and  Ad-o-ni'- 
jah, and  To-bi'jah,  and  Tob-ad-o-ni'jah,  the  Le'vites; 
and  with  them  E-lish'a-ma  and  Je-ho'ram,  the  priests. 

9  And  they  taught  in  Ju'dah,  having  the  book  of  the 
law  of  the  Lord  with  them;  and  they  went  about 
throughout  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  taught  among 

10  the  people.  And  Hhe  fear  of  the  Lord  fell  upon  all 
the  kingdoms  of  the  lands  that  were  round  about 
Ju'dah,  so  that  they  made  no  war  against  Je-hosh'a- 

1 1  phat.  And  some  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  brought  Je-hosh'- 
a-phat presents,  and  silver  for  tribute ;  the  A-ra'bi-ans 
also  brought  him  flocks,  seven  thousand  and  seven 
hundred  rams,  and  seven  thousand  and  seven  hun 

12dred  he-goats.    And  Je-hosh'a-phat  waxed  great  ex 
ceedingly ;  and  he  built  in  Ju'dah  castles  and  cities  of 

13  store.  And  he  had  many  works  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah ; 
and  men  of  war,  mighty  men  of  valour,  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14  And  this  was  the  numbering  of  them  according  to 
their  fathers'  houses :  of  Ju'dah,  the  captains  of  thou 
sands ;  Ad'nah  the  captain,  and  with  him  mighty  men 

15  of  valour  three  hundred  thousand :  and  next  to  him 
Je-ho-ha'nan  the  captain,  and  with  him  two  hundred 

16 and  fourscore  thousand:  and  next  to  him  Am-a-si'ah 
the  son  of  Zich'ri,  who  willingly  offered  himself  unto 
the   Lord;  and  with   him  two   hundred   thousand 

17  mighty  men  of  valour:  and  of  Ben'ja-min ;  E-li'a-da 
a  mighty  man  of  valour,  and  with  him  two  hundred 

18 thousand  armed  with  bow  and  shield:  and  next  to 
him  Je-hoz'a-bad,  and  with  him  an  hundred  and  four- 

19  score  thousand  ready  prepared  for  war.  These  were 
they  that  waited  on  the  king,  beside  those  whom  the 
king  put  in  the  fenced  cities  throughout  all  Ju'dah 

4-0  Now  Je-hosh'a-phat  had  riches  and  honour  in 
abundance;   and    he    joined    affinity    with    A'hab. 

2  ^And  after  certain  years  he  Avent  down  to  A'hab  to 
Sa-ma'ri-a.  And  A'hab  killed  sheep  and  oxen  for  him 
in  abundance,  and  for  the  people  that  were  with  him, 
and  moved  him  to  go  up  with  him  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

3  And  A'hab  king  of  Is  ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat 
king  of  Ju'dah,  Wilt  thou  go  with  me  to  Ra'moth 
gil'e-ad  ?   And  he  answered  him,  I  am  as  thou  art,  and 
my  people  as  thy  people ;  and  we  will  be  with  thee  in 

4  the  war.  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said  unto  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  Inquire,  I  pray  thee,  at  the  word  of  the  Lord 

5  to-day.  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  gathered  the  proph 
ets  together,  four  hundred  men,  and  said  unto  them, 
Shall  we  go  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or  shall  I  for- 
bear?    And  they  said,  Go  up;  for  God  shall  deliver 

6  it  into  the  hand  of  the  king.  But  Je-hosh'a-phat  said. 
Is  there  not  here  besides  a  prophet  of  the  Lord, 

7  that  we  might  inquire  of  him  ?    And  the  king  of  Is' 
ra-el  said  unto  Je-nosh'a-phat,  There  is  yet  one  man  by 
whom  we  may  inquire  of  the  Lord  :  but  I  hate  him ; 
for  he  never  prophesieth  good  concerning  me,  but

always  evil:  the  same  is  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of  Im'la.     And 
Je-hosh'a-phat  said,  Let  not  the  king  say  so. 

8  And  the  king  ofls'ra-el  called  for  one  of  his  ||  officers, 
and  said,  fFetch  quickly  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of  Im'la. 

9  And  the  kingof  Is' ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  kingofJu'dah 
sat  either  of  them  on  his  throne,  clothed  in  their  robes,  and 
they  sat  in  a  ||  void  place  at  the  entering  in  of  the  gate  of 
Sa-ma'ria ;  and  all  the  prophets  prophesied  before  them. 

10  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Che-na'-a-nah  had  made  him 
horns  of  iron,  and  said,  Thus  saith  the  Loed,  With  these 
thou  shalt  push  Syr'i-a  until  fthey  be  consumed. 

11  And  all  the  prophets  prophesied  .so,  saying,  Go  up  to 
Ra'moth-gil'e-ad,  and  prosper:  for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it 
into  the  hand  of  the  king. 

12  And  the  messenger  that  went  to  call  Mi-ca'iah  spake  to 
him,  saying.  Behold,  the  words  of  the  prophets  declare 
good  to  the  king  fwith  one  assent;  let  thy  word  therefore, 
I  pray  thee,  be  like  one  of  theirs,  and  speak  thou  good. 

13  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  As  the  Lokd  liveth,  'even  what  my 
God  saith,  that  will  I  speak. 

14  And  when  he  was  come  to  the  king,  the  king  said  unto 
him,  Mi-ca'iah,  shall  we  go  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to  battle,  or 
shall  I  forbear?  And  he  said.  Go  ye  up,  and  prosper,  and 
they  shall  be  delivered  into  your  hand, 

15  And  the  king  said  to  him.  How  many  times  shall  I 
adjure  thee  that  thou  say  nothing  but  the  truth  to  me  in 
the  name  of  the  Loed  ? 

16  Then  he  said,  I  did  see  all  Is'ra-el  scattered  upon  the 
mountains,  as  sheep  that  have  no  shepherd :  and  the  Loed 
said.  These  have  no  master ;  let  them  return  there/ore  every 
man  to  his  house  in  peace. 

17  And  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said  to  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Did  I 
not  tell  thee  that  he  would  not  prophesy  good  unto  me,  ||  but 
evil? 

18  Again  he  said.  Therefore  hear  the  word  of  the  Loed; 
I  saw  the  Lord  sitting  upon  his  throne,  and  all  the  host  of 
heaven  standing  on  his  right  hand  and  on  his  left. 

19  And  the  Lord  said,  Who  shall  entice  A'hab  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  he  may  go  up  and  fall  at  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad? 
And  one  spake  saying  after  this  manner,  and  another  saying 
after  that  manner. 

20  Then  there  came  out  a  •'spirit,  and  stood  before  the 
Loed,  and  said,  I  will  entice  him.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  him,  Wherewith? 

21  And  he  said,  I  will  go  out,  and  be  a  lying  spirit  in  the 
mouth  of  all  his  prophets.  And  the  Lord  said.  Thou 
shalt  entice  him,  and  thou  shalt  also  prevail:  go  out,  and 
do  even  so. 

22  Now  therefore,  behold,  'the  Loed  hath  put  a  lying 
spirit  in  the  mouth  of  these  thy  prophets,  and  the  Loed 
hath  spoken  evil  against  thee. 

23  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Che-na'a-nah  came  near,  and 
*smote  Mi-ca'iah  upon  the  cheek,  and  said.  Which  way  went 
the  Spirit  of  the  Loed  from  me  to  speak  unto  thee? 

24  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  Behold,  thou  shalt  see  on  that  day 
when  thou  shalt  go  ||  into  fan  inner  chamber  to  hide  thyself. 

25  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  said.  Take  ye  Mi-ca'iah,  and 
carry  him  back  to  A'mon  the  governor  of  the  city,  and  to 
Jo'ash  the  king's  son ; 

26  And  say,  Thus  saith  the  king,  'Put  this  fellow  in  the 
prison,  and  feed  him  with  bread  of  affliction  and  with  water 
of  affliction,  until  I  return  in  peace. 

27  And  Mi-ca'iah  said,  If  thou  certainly  return  in  peace, 
then  hath  not  the  Lord  spoken  by  me.  And  he  said, 
,Hearken,  all  ye  people. 

28  So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  went  up  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad. 

29  And  the  king  of  Ls' ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,I  will  dis- 
guise myself,  and  will  go  to  the  battle;  but  put  thou  on  thy 


always  evil :  the  same  is  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of  Im'la. 
And  Je-hosh'a-phat  said.  Let  not  the  king  say  so. 

8  Then  the  king  of  Is'ra-el    called   an   'officer,   and 

9  said.  Fetch  quickly  Mi-ca'iah  the  son  of  Im'la.  Now 
the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  sat  each  on  his  throne,  arrayed  in  their 
robes,  and  they  sat  in  ^an  open  place  at  the  en- 
trance of  the  gate  of  Sa-ma'ri-a ;  and  all  the  prophets 

10  prophesied  before  them.  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son 
of  Che-na'a-nah  made  him  horns  of  iron,  and  said> 
Thus  saith  the  Loed,  With  these  sbalt  thou  push 

lithe  Syr'i-ans,  until  they  be  consumed.  And  all 
the  prophets  prophesied  so,  saying,  Go  up  to  Ra'- 
moth-gil'e-ad,  and  prosper:  for  the  LoED  shall  de- 

12  liver  it  into  the  hand  of  the  king.  And  the  mes- 
senger that  went  to  call  Mi-ca'iah  spake  to  him, 
saying.  Behold,  the  words  of  the  prophets  declare 
good  to  the  king  with  one  mouth :  let  thy  word 
therefore,  I  pray  thee,  be  like  one  of  theirs,  and 

13  speak  thou  good.     And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  As  the  Loed 

14  liveth,  what  my  God  saith,  that  will  I  speak.  And 
when  he  was  come  to  the  king,  the  king  said  unto 
him,  'Mi-ca'iah,  shall  we  go  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  to 
battle,  or  shall  I  forbear  ?  And  he  said.  Go  ye  up, 
and  prosper;  and  they  shall  be  delivered  into  your 

15  hand.  And  the  king  said  to  him.  How  many 
times  shall  I  adjure  thee  that  thou  speak  unto  me 
nothing  but  the  truth  in   the    name  of  the  Loed? 

16  And  he  said,  I  saw  all  Is'ra-el  scattered  upon  the 
mountains,  as  sheep  that  have  no  shepherd:  and 
the  Loed  said.  These  have  no  master  ;  let  them  re- 

17  turn  every  man  to  his  house  in  peace.  And  the 
king  of  Is'ra-el  said  to  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Did  I  not  tell 
thee  that  he  would  not   prophesy  good  concerning 

18 me,  but  evil?  And  he  said.  Therefore  hear  ye  the 
word  of  the  Lord  :  I  saw  the  Lord  sitting  upon 
his  throne,   and  all  the  host  of  heaven  standing  on 

19  his  right  hand  and  on  his  left.  And  the  Lord  said. 
Who  shall  ^entice  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  he  may 
go  up  and  fall  at  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad  ?  And  one  spake 
saying  after  this  manner,  and  another  saying  after 

20  that  manner.  And  there  came  forth  'a  spirit,  and 
stood  before  the  Lord,  and  said,  I  will  entice  him. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Wherewith  ?  And 
he  said,  I  will  go  forth,  and  will  be  a  lying  spirit  in 
the  mouth  of  all  his  prophets.  And  he  said,  Thou 
shalt  entice   him,  and  shalt  prevail  also :    go  forth, 

22  and  do  so.  Now  therefore,  behold,  the  Lord  hath 
put  a  lying  spirit  in  the  mouth  of  these  thy 
prophets;  and  the  Lord  hath  spoken  evil  concern- 

23  ing  thee.  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Che-na'a-nah 
came  near,  and  smote  Mi-ca'iah  upon  the  cheek,  and 
said.  Which  way  went  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  from 

24  me  to  speak  unto  thee  ?  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  Behold, 
thou  shalt  see  on  that  day,  when  thou  shalt  go  "into 

25  an  inner  chamber  to  hide  thyself.  And  the  king  of 
Is'ra-el  said.  Take  ye  Mi-ca'iah,  and  carry  him  back 
unto  A'mon  the  governor  of  the  city,  and  to  Jo'ash 

26 the  king's  son;  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  king.  Put 
this  fellow  in  the  prison,  and  feed  him  with  bread  of 
affliction  and  with  water  of  affliction,  until  I  return 

27  in  peace.  And  Mi-ca'iah  said.  If  thou  return  at  all 
in  peace,  the  Lord  hath  not  spoken  by  me.  And 
he  said,  'Hear,  ye  peoples,  all  of  you. 

28  So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king 

29  of  Ju'dah  went  up  to  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad.  And  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el  said  unto  Je-hosh'a-phat,  I  will  disguise 
myself,  and  go  into  the  battle ;  but  put  thou  on  thy

went  to  the  battle. 

30  Now  the  king  of  Syr'i-a  had  commanded  the  captains 
of  the  chariots  that  were  with  him,  saying,  Fight  ye  not 
with  small  or  great,  save  only  with  the  king  of  Is'ra-ei. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  captains  of  the  chariots 
saw  Je-hosh'a-phat,  that  they  said,  It  is  the  king  of  Is'ra-el. 
Therefore  they  compassed  about  him  to  fight :  but  Je-hosh'a- 
phat  cried  out,  and  the  LoED  helped  him ;  and  God  moved 
them  to  depart  from  him. 

32  For  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  the  captains  of  the 
chariots  perceived  that  it  was  not  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  they 
turned  back  again  ffrom  pursuing  him. 

33  And  a  certain  man  drew  a  bow  fat  a  venture,  and 
smote  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  fbetween  the  joints  of  the  harness: 
therefore  he  said  to  his  chariot  man,  Turn  thine  hand,  that 
thou  mayest  carry  me  out  of  the  host;  for  I  am  f wounded. 

34  And  the  battle  increased  that  day :  howbeit  the  king 
of  Is'ra-el  stayed  himself  up  in  his  chariot  against  the  Syr'i- 
ans  until  the  even:  and  about  the  time  of  the  sun  going 
down  he  died. 

CHAPTER   XIX. 

Jehoshaphat,  reproved  by  Jehu,  visiteth  his  kingdom. 

AND  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Ju'dah  returned  to  his 
house  in  peace  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  And  Je'hu  the  son  of  Ha-na'ni  "the  seer  went  out  to  meet 
him,  and  said  to  king  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Shouldest  thou  help  the 
ungodly,  and  'love  them  that  hate  the  Lord  ?  therefore  is 
"wrath  upon  thee  from  before  the  Lord. 

3  Nevertheless,  there  are  •'good  things  found  in  thee,  in 
that  thou  hast  taken  away  the  groves  out  of  the  land,  and 
hast  'prepared  thine  heart  to  seek  God. 

4  AndJe-hosh'a-phatdweltatJe-ru'sa-lem:  andfhe wentout 
again  through  the  people  from  Be'er-she'ba  to  mount  E'phra-im, 
and  brought  them  back  unto  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

5  ^And  he  set  judges  in  the  land  throughout  all  the 
fenced  cities  of  Ju'dah,  city  by  city, 

6  And  said  to  the  judges,  Take  heed  what  ye  do:  for  ■'ye 
judge  not  for  man,  but  for  the  Lord,  "who  is  with  you  fin 
the  judgment. 

7  Wherefore  now  let  the  fear  of  the  Lord  be  upon  you ; 
take  heed  and  do  it:  for  Hhere  is  no  iniquity  with  the  Lord 
our  God,  nor  'respect  of  persons,  nor  taking  of  gifts. 

8  ^Moreover  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  did  Je-hosh'a-phat  *set  of  the 
Le'vites,  and  of  the  priests,  and  of  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of 
Is'ra-el,  for  the  judgment  of  the  Lord,  and  for  controversies, 
when  they  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9  And  he  charged  them,  saying.  Thus  shall  ye  do  'in  the 
fear  of  the  Lord,  faithfully,  and  with  a  perfect  heart. 

10  "And  what  cause  soever  shall  come  to  you  of  your 
brethren  that  dwell  in  their  cities,  between  blood  and  blood, 
between  law  and  commandment,  statutes  and  judgments, 
ye  shall  even  warn  them  that  they  trespass  not  against  the 
Lord,  and  so  "wrath  come  upon  "you,  and  upon  your  breth- 
ren :  this  do,  and  ye  shall  not  trespass.

all  matters  of  the  Lord;  and  Zeb-a-di'ah  thesonof  Ish'ma-el, 
the  ruler  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  for  all  the  king's  matters :

ageously, and  the  Lord  shall  be  «with  the  good.

Jehoshaphat  proctaimeth  a  fast — His  prayer. 

IT  came  to  pass  after  this  also,  that  the  children  of  Mo'ab, 
and  the  cnildren  of  Am'mon,  and  with  them  other  be- 
sides the  Am'mon-ites,  came  against  Je-hosh'a-phat  to  battle. 
2  Then  there  came  some  that  told  Je-hosh'a-phat,  saying, 
There  cometh  a  great  multitude  against  thee  from  beyond 
the  sea  on  this  side  Syr'i-a;  and,  behold,  they  he  "in  Haz'a-

robes.     So  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  disguised  himself;  and 

30  they  went  into  the  battle.  Now  the  king  of  Syr'i-a 
had  commanded  the  captains  of  his  chariots,  saying. 
Fight  neither  with  small  nor  great,  save  only  with 

31  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
captains  of  the  chariots  saw  Je-hosh'a-phat,  that  they 
said.  It  is  the  king  of  Is'ra-el.  Therefore  they  turned 
about  to  fight  against  him :  but  Je-hosh'a-phat  cried 
out,  and  the  Lord   helped   him;  and  God  moved 

32  them  to  depart  from  him.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  captains  of  the  chariots  saw  that  it  was 
not  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  that  they  turned  back  from 

33  pursuing  him.  And  a  certain  man  drew  his  bow  'at 
a  venture,  and  smote  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  between  Hhe 
joints  of  the  harness :  wherefore  he  said  to  the  driver 
of  the  chariot.  Turn  thine  hand,  and  carry  me  out 

34 of  the  host;  for  I  am  sore  wounded.  And  the 
battle  increased  that  day :  howbeit  the  king  of  Is'ra-el 
stayed  himself  up  in  his  chariot  against  the  Syr'i-ans 
until  the  even :  and  about  the  time  of  the  going 
down  of  the  sun  ue  died, 

Iv      And  Je-hosh'a-phat  the  king  of  Ju'dah  returned  to 

2  his  house  in  peace  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  Je'hu  the  son 
of  Ha-na'ni  the  seer  went  out  to  meet  him,  and  said 
to  king  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Shouldest  thou  help  the  wicked, 
and  love  them  that  hate  the  Lord?  for  this  thing 

3  wrath  is  upon  thee  from  before  the  Lord.  Never- 
theless there  are  good  things  found  in  thee,  in  that 
thou  hast  put  away  the  Ash'er-oth  out  of  the  land, 
and  hast  set  thine  heart  to  seek  God. 

4  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  dwelt  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  he 
went  out  again  among  the  people  from  Be'er-she'ba  to 
the  hill  country  of  E'phra-im,  and  brought  them  back 

5  unto  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers.  And  he 
set  judges  in  the  land   throughout  all   the   fenced 

6  cities  of  Ju'dah,  city  by  city,  and  said  to  the  judges, 
Consider  what  ye  do :  for  ye  judge  not  for  man,  but 
for  the  Lord  ;  and  he  is  with  you  ^in  the  judgement. 

7  Now  therefore  let  the  fear  of  the  Lord  be  upon 
you;  take  heed  and  do  it:  for  there  is  no  iniquity 
with  the  Lord  our  God,  nor  respect  of  persons,  nor 

8  taking  of  gifts.  Moreover  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  did  Je-hosh'a- 
phat  set  of  the  Le'vites  and  the  priests,  and  of  the 
heads  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  Is'ra-el,  for  the  judge- 
ment of  the  Lord,  and  for  controversies.     And  they 

9  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  charged  them,  say- 
ing. Thus  shall  ye  do  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  faith- 

10  fully,  and  with  a  perfect  heart.  And  whensoever 
any  controversy  shall  come  to  you  from  your  breth- 
ren that  dwell  in  their  cities,  between  blood  and 
blood,  between  law  and  commandment,  statutes  and 
judgements,  ye  shall  warn  them,  that  they  be  not 
guilty  towards  the  Lord,  and  so  wrath  come  upon 
you  and  upon  your  brethren :  this  do,  and  ye  shall 

11  not  be  guilty.  And,  behold,  Am-a-ri'ah  the  chief 
priest  is  over  you  in  all  matters  of  the  Lord;  and 
Zeb-a-di'ah  the  son  of  Ish'ma-el,  the  ruler  of  the  house 
of  Ju'dah,  in  all  the  king's  matters:  also  the  Le'vites 
shall  be  officers  before  you.  *Deal  courageously, 
and  the  Lord  be  with  the  good. 

M\)  And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  the  children 
of  Mo'ab,  and  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  with  them 
some  of  the  'Am'mon-ites,  came  against  Je-hosh'a-phat 
2  to  battle.  Then  there  came  some  that  told  Je-hosh'a-

3  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  feared,  and  set  fhimself  to  'seek  the 
Lord,  and  ''proclaimed  a  fast  throughout  all  Ju'dah. 

4  And  Ju'dah  gathered  themselves  together,  to  ask  help  of 
the  Lord  :  even  out  of  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  they  came  to 
seek  the  Lord. 

5  51  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  stood  in  the  congregation  of  Ju'dah 
and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  before  the  new 
court, 

6  And  said,  O  Lord  God  of  our  fathers,  art  not  thou  'God 
in  heaven?  and  -'rulest  not  thou  over  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  heathen?  and  "in  thine  hand  is  there  not  power  and 
might,  so  that  none  is  able  to  withstand  thee  ? 

7  Art  not  thou  'our  God  \who  'didst  drive  out  the  in- 
habitants of  this  land  before  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  and  gavest 
it  to  the  seed  of  A'bra-ham  *thy  friend  for  ever  ? 

8  And  they  dwelt  therein,  and  have  built  thee  a  sanctuary 
therein  for  thy  name,  saying, 

9  'If,  when  evil  cometh  upon  us,  as  the  sword,  judgment, 
or  pestilence,  or  famine,  we  stand  before  this  house,  and  in 
thy  presence,  (for  thy  ""name  is  in  this  house,)  and  cry  unto 
thee  in  our  affliction,  then  thou  wilt  hear  and  help. 

10  And  now,  behold,  the  children  of  Am'mon  and  Mo'ab, 
and  mount  Se'ir,  whom  thou  "wouldest  not  let  Is'ra-el  invade, 
when  they  came  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  but  "they  turned 
from  them,  and  destroyed  them  not ; 

11  Behold,  1  say,  how  they  reward  us,  'to  come  to  cast  us 
out  of  thy  possession,  which  thou  hast  given  us  to  inherit. 

12  O  our  God,  wilt  thou  not  'judge  them?  for  we  have 
no  might  against  this  great  company  that  cometh  against 
us ;  neither  know  we  what  to  do :  but  'our  eyes  are  upon 
thee. 

13  And  all  Ju'dah  stood  before  the  Lord,  with  their  little 
ones,  their  wives,  and  their  children. 

14  ^Then  upon  Ja-ha'zi-el  the  son  of  Zech-a-ri'ah,the  son  of 
Be-na'iah,  the  son  of  Je-i'el,  the  son  of  Mat-ta-ni'ah,  a  Le'vite 
of  the  sons  of  A'saph,  'came  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  in  the 
midst  of  the  congregation  ; 

15  And  he  said.  Hearken  ye,  all  Ju'dah,  and  ye  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  thou  king  Je-hosh'a-phat,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  unto  you,  'Be  not  afraid  nor  dismayed  by  rea- 
son of  this  great  multitude;  for  the  battle  is  not  yours, 
but  God's. 

16  To-morrow  go  ye  down  against  them :  behold,  they 
come  up  by  the  fcliff  of  Ziz ;  and  ye  shall  find  them  at  the 
end  of  the  ||  brook,  before  the  wilderness  of  Jer'u-el. 

17  "Ye  shall  not  need  to  fight  in  this  battle:  set  your- 
selves, stand  ye  still,  and  see  the  salvation  of  the  Lord 
with  you,  O  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem:  fear  not,  nor  be 
dismayed ;  to-morrow  go  out  against  them :  'for  the  Lord 
will  be  with  you. 

18  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  "bowed  his  head  with  his  face  to  the 
ground:  and  all  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
ell  before  the  Lord,  worshipping  the  Lord. 

19  And  the  Le'vites  of  the  children  of  the  Ko'hath-ites, 
and  of  the  children  of  the  Kor'hites,  stood  up  to  praise  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  with  a  loud  voice  on  high. 

20  T[And  they  rose  early  in  the  morning,  and  went  forth 
into  the  wilderness  of  Te-ko'a  :  and  as  they  went  forth, 
Je-hosh'a-phat  stood  and  said.  Hear  me,  O  Ju'dah,  and  ye 
inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  "Believe  in  the  Lord  your  God, 
so  shall  ye  be  established ;  believe  his  prophets,  so  shall  ye 
prosper. 

21  And  when  he  had  consulted  with  the  people,  he 
appointed  singers  unto  the  Lord,  "and  fthat  should  praise 
the  beauty  of  holiness,  as  they  went  out  before  the  army, 
and  to  say,  'Praise  the  Lord  ;  ''for  his  mercy  endureth 
for  ever. 

22  fAnd  when  they  began  fto  sing  and  to  praise,  ''the  Lord 
set  ambushments  against  the  children  of  Am'mon,  Mo'ab,  and 


3  And  Je-hosh'aphat  feared,  and  set  himself  to  seek 
unto  the  Lord  ;  and  he  proclaimed  a  fast  through- 

4  out  all  Ju'dah.  And  Ju'dah  gathered  themselves 
together,  to  seek  help  of  the  Lord  :  even  out  of 
all   the  cities   of   Ju'dah    they   came   to    seek   the 

5  Lord.  And  Je-hosh'a-phat  stood  in  the  congregation 
of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

6  before  the  new  court ;  and  he  said,  O  Lord,  the 
God  of  our  fathers,  art  not  thou  God  in  heaven  ? 
and  art  not  thou  ruler  over  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
nations?  and  in  thine  hand  is  power  and  might,  so 

7  that  none  is  able  to  withstand  thee.  Didst  not  thou, 
O  our  God,  drive  out  the  inhabitants  of  this  land 
before  thy  people  Is'ra-el,  and  gavest  it  to  the  seed 

8  of  A'bra-ham  thy  friend  for  ever  ?  And  they  dwelt 
therein,  and  have  built  thee  a  sanctuary  therein  for 

9  thy  name,  saying.  If  evil  come  upon  us,  'the  sword, 
judgement,  or  pestilence,  or  famine,  we  will  stand 
before  this  house,  and  before  thee,  (for  thy  name  is 
in  this  house,)  and  cry  unto  thee  in  our  affliction, 

10 and  thou  wilt  near  and  save.  And  now,  behold,  the 
children  of  Am'mon  and  Mo'ab  and  mount  Se'ir, 
whom  thou  wouldest  not  let  Is'ra-el  invade,  when 
they  came  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  but  they  turned 

11  aside  from  them,  and  destroyed  them  not;  behold, 
how  they  reward  us,  to  come  to  cast  us  out  of  thy 

12  possession,  which  thou  hast  given  us  to  inherit.  O 
our  God,  wilt  thou  not  judge  them?  for  we  have  no 
might  against  this  great  company  that  cometh 
against  us;  neither  know  we  what  to  do:  but  our 

13  eyes  are  upon  thee.  And  all  Ju'dah  stood  before 
the  Lord,  with  their  little  ones,  their  wives,  and 

14  their  children.  Then  upon  Ja-ha'zi-el  the  son  of 
Zech-a-ri'ah,the  son  of  Be-na'iah,  the  son  of  Je-i'el,  the 
son  of  Mat-ta-ni'ah,  the  Le'vite,  of  the  sons  of  A'saph, 
came  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  in  the  midst  of  the  con- 

15gregation;  and  he  said,  Hearken  ye,  All  Ju'dah,  and 
ye  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'salem,  and  thou  king  Je-hosh'a- 
phat:  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  you.  Fear  not  ye, 
neither  be  dismayed  by  reason  of  this  great  multi- 

16tude;  for  the  battle  is  not  yours,  but  God's.  To- 
morrow go  ye  down  against  them:  behold,  they 
come  up  by  the  ascent  of  Ziz;  and  ye  shall  find 
them  at  the  end  of  the  valley,  before  the  wilderness 

17  of  Jer'u-el.  Ye  shall  not  need  to  fight  in  this  battle  : 
set  yourselves,  stand  ye  still,  and  see  the  salvation  of 
the  Lord  with  you,  O  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem :  fear 
not,  nor  be  dismayed :  to-morrow  go   out  against 

18  them ;  for  the  Lord  is  with  you.  And  Je-hosh'aphat 
bowed  his  head  with  his  face  to  the  ground  :  and  all 
Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  fell  down 

19  before  the  Lord,  worshipping  the  Lord.  And  the 
Le'vites,  of  the  children  of  the  Ko'hath-ites  and  of  the 
children  of  the  Ko'rah-ites,  stood  up  to  praise  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  with  an  exceeding  loud 

20  voice.  And  they  rose  early  in  the  morning,  and 
went  forth  into  the  wilderness  of  Te-ko'a :  and  as 
they  went  forth  Je-hosh'a-phat  stood  and  said.  Hear 
me,  O  Ju'dah,  and  ye  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  be- 
lieve in  the  Lord  your  God,  so  shall  ye  be  estab- 
lished ;   believe  his  prophets,  so  shall  ye  prosper. 

21  And  when  he  had  taken  counsel  with  the  people,  he 
appointed  them  that  should  sing  unto  the  Lord, 
and  praise  ^the  beauty  of  holiness,  as  they  went  out 
before   the   army,   and   say.  Give  thanks    unto  the 

22  Lord  ;  for  his  mercy  endureth  for  ever.  And  when 
they  began  to  sing  and  to  praise,  the  Lord  set  liers 
in  wait  against  the  children  of  Am'mon,  Mo'ab,  and

destroy  them:  and  when  they  had  made  an  end  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Se'ir,  every  one  helped  fto  destroy  another. 

24  And  when  Ju'dah  came  toward  the  watchtower  in  the 
wilderness,  they  looked  unto  the  multitude;  and,  behold,  they 
were  dead  bodies  fallen  to  the  earth,  and  fnone  escaped. 

25  And  when  Je-hosh'a-phat  and  his  people  came  to  take 
away  the  spoil  of  them,  they  found  among  them  in  abun- 
dance both  riches  with  the  dead  bodies,  and  precious  jewels, 
which  they  stripped  off  for  themselves,  more  than  they  could 
carry  away:  and  they  were  three  days  in  gathering  of  the 
spoil,  it  was  so  much. 

26  ^And  on  the  fourth  day  they  assembled  themselves  in 
the  valley  of  ||  Ber'a-chah :  for  there  they  blessed  the  Lord  : 
therefore  the  name  of  the  same  place  was  called,  The  valley 
of  Ber'a-chah,  unto  this  day. 

27  Then  they  returned  every  man  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'-- 
sa-lem,  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  in  the  fforefront  of  them,  to  go 
again  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  joy;  for  the  Loed  had  'made  them 
to  rejoice  over  their  enemies. 

28  And  they  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  psalteries  and  harps 
and  trumpets  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

29  And  -^the  fear  of  God  was  on  all  the  kingdoms  of  those 
countries,  when  they  had  heard  that  the  Lord  fought 
against  the  enemies  of  Is'ra-el. 

30  So  the  realm  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  was  quiet :  for  his  "God 
gave  him  rest  round  about. 

31  ^''And  Je-hosh'a-phat  reigned  over  Ju'dah:  he  teas 
thirty  and  five  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign,  and  he 
reigned  twenty  and  five  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his 
mother's  name  was  A-zu'bah  the  daughter  of  Shil'hi. 

32  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of  A'sa  his  father,  and  de- 
parted not  from  it,  doing  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord. 

33  Howbeit  'the  high  places  were  not  taken  away :  for  as 
yet  the  people  had  not  'prepared  their  hearts  unto  the  God 
of  their  fathers. 

34  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-hosh'a-phat,  first  and 
last,  beholdj  they  are  written  in  the  fbook  of  Je'hu  the 
son  of  Ha-na'ni,  'who  ft8  mentioned  in  the  book  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

35  *[[And  after  this  ""did  Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah  join 
himself  with  A-ha-zi'ah  kingof  Is'ra-el,  who  did  very  wickedly; 

36  II  And  he  joined  himself  with  him  to  make  ships  to  go 
to  Tar'shish :  and  they  made  the  ships  in  E'zi-on-ge'ber. 

37  Then  E-li-e'zer  the  son  of  Dod'a-vah  of  Ma-re'shah 
prophesied  against  Je-hosh'a-phat,  saying,  Because  thou  hast 
joined  thyself  with  A-ha-zi'ah,  the  Lord  hath  broken  thy 
works.  "And  the  .ships  were  broken,  that  they  were  not

lut  the  kingdom  gave  he  to  ||  Je-ho'ram;  because  he   was

Se'irj  utterly  to  slay  and  destroy  them :  and  when 
they  had  made  an  end  of  the  inhabitants   of  Se'ir,

place  was  called  The  valley  of  Ber'a-cah,  unto  this

Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  Je-hosh'a-phat  in  the  forefront  of 
them,  to  go  again  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  joy;  for  the  Ix)RD

they  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  psalteries  and  harps 

29  and  trumpets  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And 
the  fear  of  God  was  on  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
countries,  when  they  heard  that  the  Lord  fought 

30  against  the  enemies  of  Is'ra-el.  So  the  realm  of 
Je-hosh'a-phat  was  quiet:  for  his  God  gave  him 
rest  round  about. 

31  ^And  Je-hosh'a-phat  reigned  over  Ju'dah :  he  was 
thirty  and  five  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign ; 
and  he  reigned  twenty  and  five  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem: 
and  his  mother's  name  was  A-zu'bah  the  daughter  of

33  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord.  Howbeit  the  high 
places  were  not  taken  away ;  neither  as  yet  had  the 
people  set  their  hearts  unto  the  God  of  their  fathers. 

34^ow  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-hosh'a-phat,  first  and 
last,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  ^history  of  Je'hu 
the  son  of  Ha-na'ni,  'which  is  inserted  in  the  book  of 
the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

35  ^And  after  this  did  Je-hosh'a-phat  king  of  Ju'dah 
join  himself  with  A-ha-zi'ah  king  of  Is'ra-el;  the  same 

36  did  very  wickedly  :  and  he  joined  himself  with  him

37  ships  in  E'zi-on-ge'ber.  Then  E-li-e'zer  the  son  of

to  reign,  and  he  reigned  eight  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el, 
like  as  did  the  house  of  A'hab :  for  he  had  the  daughter  of 
"A'hab  to  wife :  and  he  wrought  that  which  was  evil  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord. 

7  Howbeit  the  Lobd  would  not  destroy  the  house  of  Da'vid, 
because  of  the  covenant  that  he  had  made  with  Da'vid,  and  as 
he  promised  to  give  a  flight  to  him  and  to  his  ''sons  for  ever. 

8  T["In  his  days  the  E'dom-ites  revolted  from  under  the 
fdominion  of  Ju'dah,  and  made  themselves  a  king. 

9  Then  Je-ho'ram  went  forth  with  his  princes,  and  all  his  char- 
iots with  him :  and  he  rose  up  by  night,  and  smote  the  E'dom- 
ites  which  compassed  him  in,  and  the  captains  of  the  chariots. 

10  So  the  E  dom-ites  revolted  from  under  the  hand  of 
Ju'dah  unto  this  day.  The  same  time  also  did  Lib'nah 
revolt  from  under  his  hand;  because  he  had  forsaken  the 
Lord  God  of  his  fathers. 

11  Moreover  he  made  high  places  in  the  mountains  of 
Ju'dah,  and  caused  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  -'com- 
mit fornication,  and  compelled  Ju'dah  thereto. 

12  ^And  there  came  a  ||  writing  to  him  from  E-li'jah  the 
prophet,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Da'vid  thy 
father.  Because  thou  hast  not  walked  in  the  ways  of  Je-hosh  - 
a-phat  thy  father,  nor  in  the  ways  of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah, 

13  But  hast  walked  in  the  way  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  hast  "made  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
to  ''go  a  whoring,  like  to  the  'whoredoms  of  the  house  of 
A'hab,  and  also  hast  *slain  thy  brethren  of  thy  father's 
house,  which  icere  better  than-  thyself: 

14  Behold,  with  fa  great  plague  will  the  Lord  smite  thy 
people,  and  thy  children,  and  thy  wives,  and  all  thy  goods : 

15  And  thou  shalt  have  great  sickness  by  'disease  of  thy 
bowels,  until  thy  bowels  fall  out  by  reason  of  the  sickness 
day  by  day. 

16  Ti  Moreover,  the  Lord  ""stirred  up  against  Je-ho'ram  the 
spirit  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  of  the  A-ra'bi-ans,  that  were 
near  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans : 

17  And  they  came  up  into  Ju'dah,  and  brake  into  it,  and 
fcarried  away  all  the  substance  that  was  found  in  the 
king's  house,  and  "his  sons  also,  and  his  wives;  so  that 
there  was  never  a  son  left  him,  save  ||  Je-ho'a-haz  the  young- 
est of  his  sons. 

18  ^|]And  after  all  this  the  Lord  smote  him  "in  his 
bowels  with  an  incurable  disease. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  process  of  time,  after  the 
end  of  two  years,  his  bowels  fell  out  by  reason  of  his  sick- 
ness: so  he  died  of  sore  diseases.  And  his  people  made 
no  burning  for  him,  like  "the  burning  of  his  fathers. 

20  Thirty  and  two  years  old  was  he  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  eight  years,  and  de- 
parted fwithout  being  desired:  howbeit  they  buried  him 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid,  but  not  in  the  sepulchres  of  the  kings. 

CHAPTER   XXII. 

Ahaziah  reigneth  wickedly — He  is  slain  by  Jehu. 

AND  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'.sa-lem  made  " A-ha-zi'ah  his 
youngest  son  king  in  his  stead :  for  the  band  of  men  that 
came  with  the  A-ra'biansto  the  camp  had  slain  all  the  ''eldest. 
So  A-ha-zi'ah  the  son  of  Je-ho'ram  king  of  Ju'dah  reigned. 

2  "Forty  and  two  years  old  was  A-ha-zi'ah  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  one  year  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  His 
mother's  name  also  was  ''Ath-a-li'ah  the  daughter  of  Om'ri. 

3  He  also  walked  in  the  ways  of  the  house  of  A'hab :  for 
his  mother  was  his  counsellor  to  do  wickedly. 

4  Wherefore  he  did  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  like  the 
house  of  A'hab :  for  they  were  his  counsellors,  after  the 
death  of  his  father,  to  his  destruction. 

5  ^He  walked  also  after  their  counsel,  and  'went  with 
Je-ho'ram  the  son  of  A'hab  king  of  Is'ra-el  to  war  against 


5  'Je-ho'ram  was  thirty  and  two  years  old  when  he  be- 
gan to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  eight  years  in  Je-ru'sa- 

6  lem.  And  he  walked  in  the  way  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el, 
as  did  the  house  of  A'hab :  for  he  had  the  daughter 
of  A'hab  to  wife  :    and  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in 

7  the  sight  of  the  Lord.  Howbeit  the  Lord  would  not 
destroy  the  house  of  Da'vid,  because  of  the  covenant 
that  he  had  made  with  Da'vid,  and  as  he  promised  to 

8  give  a  lamp  to  him  and  to  his  children  alway.  In  his 
days  E'dom  revolted  from  under  the  hand  of  Ju'dah, 

9  and  made  a  king  over  themselves.  Then  Je-ho'ram 
passed  over  with  his  captains,  and  all  his  chariots 
with  him :  and  he  rose  up  by  night,  and  smote  the 
E'dom-ites  which  compassed  him  about,  and  the  cap- 

10  tains  of  the  chariots.  So  E'dom  revolted  from  under 
the  hand  of  Ju'dah,  unto  this  day :  then  did  Lib'nah 
revolt  at  the  same  time  from  under  his  hand:  be- 
cause he  had  forsaken  the  Lord,  the  God  of  his 

11  fathers.  Moreover  he  made  high  places  in  the 
'mountains  of  Ju'dah,  and  made  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  to  go  a  whoring,  and  ^led  Ju'dah  astray. 

12  And  there  came  a  writing  to  him  from  E-li'jah  the 
prophet,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Da'vid  thy  father.  Because  thou  hast  not  walked  in 
the  ways  of  Je-hosh'a-phat  thy  father,  nor  in  the  ways 

13 of  A'sa  king  of  Ju'dah;  but  hast  walked  in  the  way 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  and  hast  made  Ju'dah  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  go  a  whoring,  like  as  the 
house  of  A'hab  Mid;  and  also  hast  slain  thy  brethren 
of  thy  father's  house,  which  were  better  than  thy- 

14 self:  behold,  the  Lord  will  smite  with  a  great 
'plague  thy  people,  and  thy  children,  and  thy  wives, 

15 and  all  thy  substance:  and  thou  shalt  have  great 
sickness  by  disease  of  thy  bowels,  until  thy  bowels 
fall   out  by  reason   of  the   sickness,  *day  by  day. 

16  And  the  Lord  stirred  up  against  Je-ho'ram  the  spirit 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  of  the  A-ra'bi-ans  which  are 

17 beside  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans:  and  they  came  up  against 
Ju'dah,  and  brake  into  it,  and  carried  away  all  the 
substance  that  was  found  ^in  the  king's  house,  and 
his  sons  also,  and  his  wives ;  so  that  there  was  never 
a  son  left  him,  save  'Je-ho'a-haz,  the  youngest  of  his 

18  sons.     And  after  all  this  the  Lord  smote  him  in  his 

19  bowels  with  an  incurable  disease.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  in  process  of  time,  at  the  end  of  two  years, 
that  his  bowels  fell  out  by  reason  of  his  sickness, 
and  he  died  of  sore  diseases.  And  his  people  made 
no  burning  for  him,  like  the  burning  of  his  fathers. 

20  Thirty  and  two  years  old  was  he  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  eight  years:  and 
he  departed  -without  being  desired;  and  they  buried 
him  in  the  city  of  Da'vid,  but  not  in  the  sepulchres 
of  the  kings.

Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  at  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad :  and  the  Syr'- 
i-ans  smote  Jo'ram. 

6  •'^And  he  returned  to  be  healed  in  Jez're-el  because  of  the 
Wounds  fwhich  were  given  him  at  Ra'mah,  when  he  fought 
with  Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a.  And  |1  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son 
of  Je-ho'ram  king  of  Ju'dah  went  down  to  see  Je-ho'ram 
the  son  of  A'hab  at  Jez're-el,  because  he  was  sick. 

7  And  the  t<lestruction  of  A-ha-zi'ah  "was  of  God  by 
coming  to  Jo'ram :  for  when  he  was  come,  he  'went  out  with 
Je-ho'ram  against  Je'hu  the  son  of  Nim'shi,  'whom  the 
LoED  had  anointed  to  cut  off  the  house  of  A'hab. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  Je'hu  was  *executing 
judgment  upon  the  house  of  A'hab,  and  'found  the  princes 
of  Ju'dah,  and  the  sons  of  the  brethren  of  A-ha-zi'ah,  that 
ministered  to  A-ha-zi'ah,  he  slew  them. 

9  ""And  he  sought  A-ha-zi'ah :  and  they  caught  him,  (for 
he  was  hid  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,)  and  brought  him  to  Je'hu :  and 
when  they  had  slain  him,  they  buried  him:  Because,  said 
they,  he  is  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat,  who  "sought  the  Lord 
with  all  his  heart.  So  the  house  of  A-ha-zi'ah  had  no 
power  to  keep  still  the  kingdom. 

10  ^"But  when  Ath-a-li'ah  the  mother  of  A-ha-zi'ah  saw 
that  her  son  was  dead,  she  arose  and  destroyed  all  the  seed 
royal  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah. 

11  But  ''Je-ho-shab'e-ath,  the  daughter  of  the  king,  took 
Jo'ash  the  son  of  A-ha-zi'ah,  and  stole  him  from  among 
the  king's  sons  that  were  slain,  and  put  him  and  his 
nurse  in  a  bedchamber.  So  Je-ho-shab'e-ath,  the  daughter 
of  king  Je-ho'ram,  the  wife  of  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  (for 
she  was  the  sister  of  A-ha-zi'ah,)  hid  him  from  Ath-a-li'ah, 
so  that  she  slew  him  not. 

12  And  he  was  with  them  hid  in  the  house  of  God  six 
years:  and  Ath-a-li'ah  reigned  over  the  land. 

CHAPTER     XXIII. 

Jehoiada  restoreth  the  worship  of  God. 

AND  "in  the  seventh  year  Je-hoi'a-da  strengthened  him- 
self, and  took  the  captains  of  hundreds,  Az-a-ri'ah  the 
son  of  Jer'o-ham,  and  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Je-ho-ha'nan,  and 
Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  0'bed,andMa-a-se'iahthesonof  Ad-a-i'ah, 
and  E-lish'a-phat  the  son  of  Zich'ri,  into  covenant  with  him. 

2  And  they  went  about  in  Ju'dah,  and  gathered  the  Le'- 
vites  out  of  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  chief  of  the 
fathers  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  all  the  congregation  made  a  covenant  with  the 
king  in  the  house  of  God.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Be- 
hold, the  king's  son  shall  reign,  as  the  LoBD  hath  'said  of 
the  sons  of  Da'vid. 

4  This  is  the  thing  that  ye  shall  do ;  A  third  part  of  you 
"entering  on  the  sabbath,  of  the  priests  and  of  the  Le'vites, 
shall  be  porters  of  the  fdoors ; 

5  And  a  third  part  shall  be  at  the  king's  house ;  and  a  third 
part  at  the  gate  of  the  foundation :  and  all  the  people  shall 
be  in  the  courts  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6  But  let  none  come  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  save  the 
priests,  and  Hhey  that  minister  of  the  Le'vites  ;  they  shall  go 
in,  for  they  are  holy :  but  all  the  people  shall  keep  the  watch 
of  the  Lord. 

7  And  the  Le'vites  shall  compass  the  king  round  about, 
every  man  with  his  weapons  in  his  hand ;  and  whosoever  else 
Cometh  into  the  house,  ne  shall  be  put  to  death :  but  be  ye 
with  the  king  when  he  cometh  in,  and  when  he  goeth  out. 

8  So  the  Le'vites  and  all  Ju'dah  did  according  to  all  things 
that  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  had  commanded,  and  took  every 
man  his  men  that  were  to  come  in  on  the  sabbath,  with 
them  that  were  to  go  out  on  the  sabbath :  for  Je-hoi'a-da  the 
priest  dismissed  not  'the  courses. 

9  Moreover,  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  delivered  to  the  captains 
of  hundreds  spears,  and  bucklers,  and  shields,  that  had  been 
king  Da'vid's,  which  were  in  the  house  of  God. 


Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a  at  Ra'moth-gil'e-ad :  and  the 
6Syr'i-ans  wounded  Jo'ram.  And  he  returned  to  be 
healed  in  Jez're-el  'of  the  wounds  which  they  had 
given  him  at  Ra'mah,  when  he  fought  against 
Haz'a-el  king  of  Syr'i-a.  And  ^Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of 
Je-ho'ram  king  of  Ju'dah  went  down  to  see  Je-ho'ram 
the  son  of  A'hab  in  Jez're-el,  because  he  was  sick. 

7  Now  the  destruction  of  A-ha-zi'ah  was  of  God,  in  that 
he  went  unto  Jo'ram :  for  when  he  was  come,  he  went 

out  with  Je-ho'ram  against  Je'hu  the  son  of  Nim'shi, 
whom  the  Lord  had  anointed  to  cut  off  the  house 

8  of  A'hab.  *And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Je'hu  was 
executing  judgment  upon  the  house  of  A'hab,  that  he 
found  the  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  sons  of  the 
brethren  of  A-ha-zi'ah,  ministering  to  A-ha-zi'ah,  and 

9  slew  them.  "And  he  sought  A-ha-zi'ah, and  they  caught 
him,  (now  he  was  hiding  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,)  and  they 
brought  him  to  Je'hu,  and  slew  him ;  and  they  buried 
him,  for  they  said.  He  is  the  son  of  Je-hosh'a-phat, 
who  sought  the  Lord  with  all  his  heart.  *And  the 
house  of  A-ha-zi'ah  had  no  power  to  hold  the  kingdom 

10  ^Now  when  Ath-a-li'ah  the  mother  of  A-ha-zi'ah  saw 
that  her  son  was  dead,  she  arose  and  destroyed  all  the 

11  seed  royal  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah.  But  *  Je-ho-shab'- 
e-ath, the  daughter  of  the  king,  took  Jo'ash  the  son 
of  A-ha-zi'ah,  and  stole  him  away  from  among  the 
king's  sons  that  were  slain,  and  put  him  and  his 
nurse  in  the  'bedchamber.  So  Je-ho-shab'e-ath,  the 
daughter  of  king  Je-ho'ram,  the  wife  of  Je-hoi'a-da 
the  priest,  (for  she  was  the  sister  of  A-ha-zi'ah,)  hid 

12  him  from  Ath-a-li'ah,  so  that  she  slew  him  not.  And 
he  was  with  them  hid  in  the  house  of  God  six  years : 
and  Ath-a-li'ah  reigned  over  the  land. 

aO  '"And  in  the  seventh  year  Je-hoi'a-da  strengthened 
himself,  and  took  thecaptainsof  hundreds,  Az-a-ri'ah 
the  son  of  Jer'o-ham,  and  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Je-ho- 
ha'nan,  and  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  0'bed,and  Ma-a-se'iah 
the  son  of  A-da-i'ah,  and  E-lish'a-phat  the  son  of  Zich'ri, 

2  into  covenant  with  him.     And  they  went  about 
Ju'dah,  and  gathered  the  Le'vites  out  of  all  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah,  and  the  heade  of  fathers'  houses  of  Is'ra-el, 

3  and  they  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  all  the  congre- 
gation made  a  covenant  with  the  king  in  the  house 
of  God.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Behold,  the  king's 
son  shall  reign,  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken  concerning 

4 the  sons  of  Da'vid.  This  is  the  thing  that  ye  shall 
do :  "a  third  part  of  you,  that  come  in  on  the  sabbath, 
of  the  priests  and  of  the  Le'vites,  shall  be  porters 

5  of  the  '^doors ;  and  a  third  part  shall  be  at  the  king's 
house ;  and  a  third  part  at  the  gate  of  the  founda- 
tion:  and  all  the   people  shall  be  in  the  courts  of 

6  the  house  of  the  Lord.  But  let  none  come  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  save  the  priests,  and  they 
that  minister  of  the  Le'vites ;  they  shall  come  in, 
for  they  are  holy :  but  all  the  people  shall  keep  the 

7  watch  of  the  Lord.  And  the  Le'vites  shall  compass 
the  king  round  about,  every  man  with  nis  weapons 
in  his  hand;  and  whosoever  cometh  into  the  house, 
let  him  be  slain:  and  be  ye  with  the  king  when  he 

8  cometh  in,  and  when  he  goeth  out.  So  the  Le'vites 
and  all  Ju'dah  did  according  to  all  that  Je-hoi'a-da 
the  priest  commanded:  and  they  took  every  man  his 
men,  those  that  were  to  come  in  on  the  sabbath,  with 
those  that  were  to  go  out  on  the  sabbath :  for  Je- 

9  hoi'a-da  the  priest  dismissed  not  the  courses.  And 
Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  delivered  to  the  captains  of  hun- 
dreds the  spears,  and  bucklers,  and  shields,  that  had 
been  king  Da'vid's,  which  were  in  the  house  of  God.

10  And  he  set  all  the  people,  every  man  having  his 
weapon  in  his  hand,  from  the  right  fside  of  the  ftemple  to 
the  left  side  of  the  temple,  along  by  the  altar  and  the 
temple,  by  the  king  round  about. 

11  Then  they  brought  out  the  king's  son,  and  put  upon 
him  the  crown,  and  ^gave  him  the  testimony,  and  made  him 
king.  And  Je-hoi'a-da  and  his  sons  anointed  him,  and 
said,  fGod  save  the  king. 

1 2  ^Now  when  Ath-a-li'ah  heard  the  noise  of  the  people 
running  and  praising  the  king,  she  came  to  the  people  into 
the  house  of  the  Loed  : 

13  And  she  looked,  and,  bihold,  the  king  stood  at  his 
pillar  at  the  entering  in,  and  the  princes  and  the  trumpets 
by  the  king:  and  all  the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and 
sounded  with  trumpets,  also  the  singers  with  instruments 
of  music,  and  "such  as  taught  to  sing  praise.  Then 
Ath-a-li'ah  rent  her  clothes,  and  said,  fTreason,  treason ! 

14  Then  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  brought  out  the  captains  of 
hundreds  that  were  set  over  the  host,  and  said  unto  them. 
Have  her  forth  of  the  ranges:  and  whoso  followeth  her, 
let  him  be  slain  with  the  sword.  For  the  priest  said.  Slay 
her  not  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

15  So  they  laid  hands  on  her;  and  when  she  was  come  to 
the  entering  ''of  the  horse  gate  by  the  king's  house,  they 
slew  her  there. 

16  ^And  Je-hoi'a-da  made  a  covenant  between  him,  and 
between  all  the  people,  and  between  the  king,  that  they 
should  be  the  Lord's  people. 

17  Then  all  the  people  went  to  the  house  of  Ba'al,  and 
brake  it  down,  and  brake  his  altars  and  his  images  in  pieces, 
and  'slew  Mat'tan  the  priest  of  Ba'al  before  the  altars. 

18  Also  Je-hoi'a-da  appointed  the  officers  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  the  priests  the  Le'vites,  whom 
Da'vid  had  ^distributed  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  to  offer 
the  burnt  offerings  of  the  Lord,  as  it  is  written  in  the  'law 
of  Mo'ses,  with  rejoicing  and  with  singing,  as  it  was  ordained 
fby  Da'vid. 

19  And  he  set  the  ""porters  at  the  gates  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  that  none  which  was  unclean  in  any  thing  should 
enter  in. 

20  "And  he  took  the  captains  of  hundreds,  and  the 
nobles,  and  the  governors  of  the  people,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple of  the  land,  and  brought  down  the  king  from  the  house 
of  the  Lord  :  and  they  came  through  the  high  gate  into 
the  king's  house,  and  set  the  king  upon  the  throne  of  the 
kingdom. 

21  And  all  the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced :  and  the  city 
was  quiet,  after  that  they  had  slain  Ath-a-li'ah  with  the  sword. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

Joash  reigneth  luelt  all  the  days  of  Jehoiada. 

JO' ASH  "was  seven  years  old  wheu  he  began  to  reign, 
and    he    reigned    forty    years    in    Je-ru'sa-lem.      His 
mother's  name  also  was  Zib'i-ah  of  Be'er-she'ba. 

2  And  Jo'ash  'did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  all  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest. 

3  And  Je-hoi'a-da  took  for  him  two  wives;  and  he  begat 
sons  and  daughters. 

4  ^And  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that  Jo'ash  was  minded 
fto  repair  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

5  And  he  gathered  together  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites, 
and  said  to  them.  Go  out  unto  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  ''gather 
of  all  Is'ra-el  money  to  repair  the  house  of  your  God  from 
year  to  year,  and  see  that  ye  hasten  the  matter.  Howbeit 
the  Le'vites  hastened  it  not. 

6  ''And  the  king  called  for  Je-hoi'a-da  the  chief,and  said  unto 
him.  Why  hast  thou  not  required  of  the  Le'vites  to  bring  in 
outof  Ju'dah  and  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  the  collection,  according 
to  the  commandment  of  'Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord,  and 
of  the  congregation  of  Is'ra-el,  for  the  -tabernacle  of  witness  ? 


set  all    the   people,   every  man  with   his 
in   his  hand,  from  the  right  'side  of  the 


10  And  he 
weapon 

house  to  the  left  side  of  the  house,  along  by  the 
altar  and   the    house,  by   the    king    round   about. 

11  Then  they  brought  out  the  king's  son,  and  ^put 
the  crown  upon  him,  and  gave  him  the  testimony, 
and  made  him  king:  and  Je-hoi'a-da  and  his  sons 
anointed  him;  and  they  said,  ^God  save  the  king. 

12  And  when  Ath-a-li'ah  heard  the  noise  ^of  the  peopk 
running  and    praising   the    king,  she   came  to   the 

13 people  into  the  house  of  the  Lord:  and  she  looked 
and,  behold,  the  king  stood  by  his  pillar  at  the  en- 
trance, and  the  captains  and  the  trumpets  by  the 
king;  and  all  the  people  of  the  land  rejoiced,  and 
blew  with  trumpets;  the  singers  also  played  on  in- 
struments of  music,  and  led  the  singing  of  praise 
Then  Ath-a-li'ah  rent  her  clothes,  and  said.  Treason, 

14  treason.  And  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest  brought  out  the 
captains  of  hundreds  that  were  set  over  the  host, 
and  said  unto  them.  Have  her  forth  between  the 
ranks ;  and  whoso  followeth  her,  let  him  be  slain 
with  the  sword :  for  the  priest  said,  Slay  her  not  in 

15  the  house  of  the  Lord.  So  they  made  way  for  her; 
and  she  went  to  the  entry  of  the  horse  gate  to  the 
king's  house :  and  they  slew  her  there. 

16  And  Je-hoi'a-da  made  a  covenant  between  himself, 
and  all  the  people,  and  the  king,  that  they  should 

17  be  the  Lord'.s  people.  And  all  the  people  weitPto 
the  house  of  Ba'al,  and  brake  it  down,  and  brake' liis 
altars  and  his  images  in  pieces,  and  slew  Mat'tan  the 

18  priest  of  Ba'al  before  the  altars.  And  Je-hoi'a-da  ap- 
pointed the  officers  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  under 
the  hand  of  the  priests  the  Le'vites,  whom  Da'vid  had 
distributed  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  to  offer  the 
burnt  offerings  of  the  Lord,  as  it  is  written  in  the 
law  of  Mo'ses,  with  rejoicing  and  with  singing,  'ac 

19  cording  to  the  order  of  Da'vid.  And  he  set  the 
porters  at  the  gates  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  that 
none  which  was  unclean  in  any  thing  should  enter 

20  in.  And  he  took  the  captains  of  hundreds,  and  the 
nobles,  and  the  governors  of  the  people,  and  all  the 
people  of  the  land,  and  brought  down  the  king  from 
the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and  they  came  through  the 
upper  gate  unto  the  king's  house,  and  set  the  king 

21  upon  the  throne  of  the  kingdom.  So  all  the  people 
of  the  land  rejoiced,  and  the  city  was  quiet :  and 
they  slew  Ath-a-li'ah  with  the  sword. 

^^  ^Jo'ash  was  seven  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign ;  and  he  reigned  forty  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem : 
and  his  mother's  name  Avas  Zib'i-ah  of  Be'er-she'ba. 

2  And  Jo'ash  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes 
of  the  Lord  all  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest. 

3  And  Je-hoi'a-da  took  for  him  two  wives;  and  he 

4  begat  sons  and  daughters.  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  this,  that  Jo'ash  was   minded  to  restore  the 

5  house  of  the  Lord.  And  he  gathered  together 
the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  said  to  them.  Go 
out  unto  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  and  gather  of  all  Is'- 
ra-el money  to  repair  the  house  of  your  God  from 
year  to    year,  and  see  that   ye  hasten  the    matter. 

6  Howbeit  the  Le'vites  hastened  it  not.  And  the 
king  called  for  Je-hoi'a-da  the  chief,  and  said  unto 
him,  Why  hast  thou  not  required  of  the  Le'vites  to 
bring  in  out  of  Ju'dah  and  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  the  tax 
of  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  the  Lord,  and  of  the  con- 
gregation 'of  Is'ra-el,  for  the  tent  of  the  testimony  ?

7  For  'the  sons  of  Ath-a-li'ah,  that  wicked  woman,  had 
broken  up  the  house  of  God ;  and  also  all  the  "dedicated 
things  of  the  hou.se  of  the  Lord  did  they  bestow  upon 
Ba'al-im. 

8  And  at  the  king's  commandment  'they  made  a  chest, 
and  set  it  without  at  the  gate  of  the  house  of  tlie  Lord. 

9  And  they  made  fa  proclamation  through  Ju'dah  and  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  to  bring  in  to  the  Lord  *^the  collection  that  Mo'ses 
the  servant  of  God  laid  upon  Is'ra-el  in  the  wilderness. 

10  And  all  the  princes  and  all  the  people  rejoiced,  and 
brought  in,  and  cast  into  the  chest,  until  they  had  made 
an  end. 

11  Now  it  came  to  pass,  that  at  what  time  the  chest  was 
brought  unto  the  king's  office  by  the  hand  of  the  Le'vites, 
and  'when  they  saw  that  there  loas  much  money,  the  king's 
scribe  and  the  high  priest's  officer  came  and  emptied  the 
chest,  and  took  it,  and  carried  it  to  his  place  again.  Thus 
they  did  day  by  day,  and  gathered  money  in  abundance. 

12  And  the  king  and  Je-hoi'a-da  gave  it  to  such  as  did  the 
work  of  the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  hired 
masons  and  carpenters  to  repair  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
also  such  as  wrought  iron  and  brass  to  mend  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

13  So  the  workmen  wrought,  and  fthe  work  was  perfected 
by  them,  and  they  set  the  house  of  God  in  his  state,  and 
strengthened  it. 

1^  And  when  they  had  finished  it,  they  brought  the  rest 
ofjdlp  money  before  the  king  and  Je-hoi'a-da,  ""whereof  were 
macfe  vessels  for  the  house  of  the  Lord,  even  vessels  to  min- 
ister, and  ]|  to  offer  toithal,  and  spoons,  and  vessels  of  gold 
and  silver.  And  they  offered  burnt  offerings  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord  continually  all  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-da. 

15  ^But  Je-hoi'a-da  waxed  old,  and  was  full  of  days 
when  he  died:  a  hundred  and  thirty  years  old  was  he 
when  he  died. 

16  And  they  buried  him  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  among  the 
kings,  because  he  had  done  good  in  Is'ra-el,  both  toward 
God,  and  toward  his  house. 

17  Now  after  the  death  of  Je-hoi'a-da  came  the  princes  of 
Ju'dah,  and  made  obeisance  to  the  king.  Then  the  king 
hearkened  unto  them. 

18  And  they  left  the  house  of  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers,  and  served  "groves  and  idols :  and  "wrath  came  upon 
Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  this  their  trespass. 

19  Yet  he  "sent  prophets  to  them,  to  bring  them  again  unto 
the  IjORD  ;  and  they  testified  against  them :  but  they  would 
not  give  ear. 

20  And  'the  Spirit  of  God  fcame  upon  Zech-a-ri'ah  the 
son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  which  stood  above  the  people, 
and  said  unto  them,  Thus  saith  God,  'Why  transgress  ye 
the  commandments  of  the  Lord,  that  ye  cannot  prosper? 
'because  ye  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  he  hath  also  for- 
saken you. 

21  And  they  conspired  against  him,  and  'stoned  him  with 
stones  at  the  commandment  of  the  king  in  the  court  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

22  Thus  Jo'ash  the  king  remembered  not  the  kindness 
which  Je-hoi'a-da  his  father  had  done  to  him,  but  slew  his 
son.  And  when  he  died,  he  said,  The  Lord  look  upon  it 
and  require  it. 

23  ^And  it  came  to  pass  f^t  the  end  of  the  year,  that 
"the  host  of  Syr'i-a  came  up  against  him :  and  they  came  to 
Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  destroyed  all  the  princes  of  the 
people  from  among  the  peojile,  and  sent  all  the  spoil  of 
them  unto  the  king  of  fDa-mas'cus. 

24  For  the  army  of  the  Syr'i-ans  ''came  with  a  small  com- 
pany of  men,  and  the  Lord  "delivered  a  very  great  host 
into  their  hand,  becau.se  they  had  forsaken  the  Lord  God 
of  their  fathers.  So  they  'executed  judgment  against  Jo'ash. 


7  For  the  sons  of  Ath*-a-li'ah,  that  wicked  woman,  had 
broken  up  the  house  of  God;  and  also  all  the 
dedicated  things  of  the   house    of  the    Lord    did 

8  they  bestow  upon  the  Ba'a-Iim.  So  the  king  com- 
manded, and  they  made  a  chest,  and  set   it   with- 

9  out  at  the  gate  of  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And 
they  made  a  proclamation  through  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, to  bring  in  for  the  Lord  the  tax  that  Mo'ses 
the  servant  of  God  laid  upon  Is'ra-el  in   the   wil- 

lOderness.  And  all  the  princes  and  all  the  people 
rejoiced,   and    brougl^  in,  and  cast  into  the  chest, 

11  until  they  had  made  in  end.  And  it  was  so,  that 
at  what  time  the  chest  was  brought  unto  the  king's 
'office  ^by  the  hand  of  the  Le'vites,  and  when  they 
.saw  that  there  was  much  money,  the  king's  ^scribe 
and  the  chief  priest's  officer  came  and  emptied  the 
chest,  and  took  it,  and  carried  it  to  its  place  again. 
Thus  they  did  day  by  day,  and  gathered  money  in 

12  abundance.  And  the  king  and  Je-hoi'a-da  gave  it  to 
such  as  did  the  work  of  the  service  of  the  hou.se  of 
the  Lord;  and  they  hired  masons  and  carpenters 
to  restore  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  also  such  as 
wrought  iron  and  brass  to  repair  the  house  of  the 

13  Lord.  So  the  workmen  wrought,  and  *the  work 
was  perfected  by  them,   and  they  set  up  the  house 

14  of  God  'in  its  state,  and  strengthened  it.  And  when 
they  had  made  an  end,  they  brought  the  re.st  of 
the  money  before  the  king  and  Je-hoi'a-da,  whereof 
were  made  vessels  for  the  house  of  the  Lord,  even 
vessels  to  minister,  and  Ho  offer  withal,  and  spoons, 
and  vessels  of  gold  and  silver.  And  they  offered 
burnt  offerings  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  continually 

15  all  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-da.  But  Je-hoi'a-da  waxed  old 
and  was  full  of  days,  and  he  died ;  an  hundred  and 

16  thirty  years  old  was  he  when  he  died.  And  they 
buried  him  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  among  the  kings, 
because  he  had  done  good  in  Is'ra-el,  and  toward 

17  God  and  his  house.  Now  after  the  death  of  Je- 
hoi'a-da  came  the  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and  made 
obeisance  to  the  king.      Then  the  king  hearkened 

18  unto  them.  And  they  forsook  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers,  and  served  the 
Ash'er-im    and    the    idols:    and    wrath   came  upon 

19  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  this  their  guiltiness.  Yet 
he  sent  prophets  to  them,  to  bring  them  again  unto 
the  Lord;  and  they  testified  against  them :  but  they 

20  would  not  give  ear.  And  the  spirit  of  God  'came 
upon  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest; 
and  he  stood  above  the  people,  and  said  unto  them, 
Thus  saith  God,  Why  transgress  ye  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  that  ye  cannot  prosper  ?  because 
ye  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  he  hath  also  forsaken 

21  you.  And  they  conspired  against  him.  and  stoned 
him  with  stones  at  the  commandment  cf  the  king  in 

22the  court  of  the  house  of  the  Lord.  Thus  Jo'ash 
the  king  remembered  not  the  kindness  which  Je- 
hoi'a-da  his  father  had  done  to  him,  but  slew  his  son. 
And  when  he  died,  he  said.  The  Lord  look  upon 

23  it,  and  require  it.  And  it  came  to  pa.ss  at  the  'end 
of  the  year,  that  the  army  of  the  Syr'i-ans  came  up 
against  him :  and  they  came  to  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  destroyed  all  the  princes  of  the  people  from 
among  the  people,  and  .sent  all  the  spoil    of  them 

24  unto  the  king  of  Da-mas'cus.  For  the  army  of  the 
Syr'i-ans  came  with  a  small  company  of  men  ;  and 
the  Lord  delivered  a  very  great  host  into  their  hand, 
because  they  had  forsaken  the  IjORD,  the  God  of  their 
fathers.     So  they  executed  'judgement  upon  Jo'ash.

26  And  when  they  were  departed  from  him,  (for  they  left 
him  in  great  diseases,)  "his  own  servants  conspired  against 
him  for  the  blood  of  the  'sons  of  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  and 
slew  him  on  his  bed,  and  he  died :  and  they  buried  him  in 
the  city  of  Da'vid,  but  they  buried  him  not  in  the  sepulchres 
of  the  kings. 

26  And  these  are  they  that  conspired  against  him;  ||  Za'bad 
the  son  of  Shim'e-ath  an  Am'mon-i-tess,  and  Je-hoz'a-bad 
the  son  of  ||Shim'rith  a  Mo'ab-i-tess. 

27  ^Now  concerning  his  sons,  and  the  greatness  of 
the   burdens   laid   upon    him,  and    the  frepairing  of  the 

house  of  God,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  |1  story  of 
the  book  of  the  kings.  ''And  Ara-a-zi'ah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER  XXV. 

Amaziah's  retgn — He provoketh  Joash  to  his  overthrow. 

AM-A-ZI'AH  "was  twenty  and  five  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned  twenty  and  nine  years 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  his  mother's  name  was  Je-ho-ad'dan 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  And  he  did  thai  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  ''but  not  with  a  perfect  heart. 

3  ^'Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  kingdom  was  fes- 
tablished  to  him,  that  he  slew  his  servants  that  had  killed 
the  king  his  father. 

4  But  he  slew  not  their  children,  but  did  as  it  is  written  in 
the  law  in  the  book  of  Mo'ses,  where  the  Lord  commanded, 
saying,  ''The  fathers  shall  not  die  for  the  children,  neither 
shall  the  children  die  for  the  fathers,  but  every  man  shall 
die  for  his  own  sin. 

6  ^Moreover,  Am-a-zi'ah  gathered  Ju'dah  together,  and 
made  them  captains  over  thousands,  and  captains  over  hun- 
dreds, according  to  the  houses  of  their  fathers,  throughout 
all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min :  and  he  numbered  them  'from 
twenty  years  old  and  above,  and  found  them  three  hundred 
thousand  choice  men,  able  to  go  forth  to  war,  that  could 
handle  spear  and  shield. 

6  He  hired  also  a  hundred  thousand  mighty  men  of 
valour  out  of  Is'ra-el  for  a  hundred  talents  of  silver. 

7  But  there  came  a  man  of  God  to  him,  saying,  O  king, 
let  not  the  army  of  Is'ra-el  go  with  thee ;  for  the  Lord  is 
not  with  Is'ra-el,  to  wit,  with  all  the  children  of  E'phra-im. 

8  But  if  thou  wilt  go,  do  it,  be  strong  for  the  battle  :  God 
shall  make  thee  fall  before  the  enemy :  for  God  hath  ■'power 
to  help,  and  to  cast  down. 

9  And  Am-a-zi'ah  said  to  the  man  of  God,  But  what  shall 
we  do  for  the  hundred  talents  which  I  have  given  to  the 
farmy  of  Is'ra-el?  And  the  man  of  God  answered,  "The 
Lord  is  able  to  give  thee  much  more  than  this. 

10  Then  Am-a-zi'ah  separated  them,  to  wit,  the  army  that 
was  come  to  him  out  of  E'phra-im,  to  go  fhome  again : 
wherefore  their  anger  was  greatly  kindled  against  Ju'dah, 
and  they  returned  home  fin  great  anger. 

1 1  ^ And  Am-a-zi'ah  strengthened  himself,  and  led  forth 
his  people,  and  went  ''to  the  valley  of  salt,  and  smote  of  the 
children  of  Se'ir  ten  thousand. 

12  And  other  ten  thousand  left  alive  did  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  carry  away  captive,  and  brought  them  unto  the  top 
of  the  rock,  and  cast  them  down  from  the  top  of  the  rock, 
that  they  all  were  broken  in  pieces. 

13  ^But  fthe  soldiers  of  the  army  which  Am-a-zi'ah  sent 
back,  that  they  should  not  go  with  him  to  battle,  fell  upon 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  from  Sa-ma'ri-a  even  unto  Beth-ho'ron, 
and  smote  three  thousand  of  them,  and  took  much  spoil. 

14  ^Now  it  came  to  pass,  after  that  Am-a-zi'ah  was  come 
from  the  slaughter  of  the  E'dom-ites,  that  'he  brought  the 
gods  of  the  children  of  Se'ir,  and  set  them  up  to  be  'his  gods, 
and  bowed  down  himself  before  them,  and  burned  incense 
unto  them. 


25  And  when  they  were  departed  from  him,  (for  they 
left  him  in  great  diseases,)  his  own  servants  con- 
spired against  him  for  the  blood  of  the  'sons  of 
Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  and  slew  him  on  his  bed, 
and  he  died:  and  they  buried  him  in  the  city  of 
Da'vid,  but  they  buried  him  not  in  the  sepulchres 

26  of  the  kings.  And  these  are  they  that  conspired 
against  him ;  ^Za'bad  the  son  of  Shim'e-ath  the 
Am'mon-i-tess,  and  Je-hoz'a-bad  the  son  of^Shim'rith 

27  the  Mo'ab-i-tess.  Now  concerning  his  sons,  and  the 
greatness  of  the  burdens  *laid  upon  him,  and  the 
'rebuilding  of  the  house  of  God,  behold,  they  are 
written  in  the  commentary  of  the  book  of  the  kings. 
And  Am-a-zi'ah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

•40  "Am-a-zi'ah  was  twenty  and  five  years  old  when 
he  began  to  reign;  and  he  reigned  twenty  and  nine 
years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  his  mother's   name  was 

2  Je-ho-ad'dan  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  but  not  with  a 

3  perfect  heart.  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king- 
dom was  established  unto  him,  that  he  slew  his  serv- 

4  ants  which  had  killed  the  king  his  father.  But  he 
put  not  their  children  to  death,  but  did  according  to 
that  which  is  written  in  the  law  in  the  book  of 
Mo'ses,  as  the  Lord  commanded,  saying.  The 
fathers  shall  not  die  for  the  children,  neither  shall 
the  children  die  for  the  fathers ;  but  every  man  shall 

5  die  for  his  own  sin.  Moreover  Am-a-zi'ah  gathered 
Ju'dah  together,  and  ordered  them  according  to 
their  fathers'  houses,  under  captains  of  thousands 
and  captains  of  hundred.s,  even  all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'- 
ja-min :  and  he  numbered  them  from  twenty  years 
old  and  upward,  and  found  them  three  hundred 
thousand  chosen  men,  able  to  go  forth  to  war,  that 

6  could  handle  spear  and  shield.  He  hired  also  an 
hundred  thousand    mighty    men  of  valour    out   of 

7  Is'ra-el  for  an  hundred  talents  of  silver.  But  there 
came  a  man  of  God  to  him,  saying,  O  king,  let  not 
the  army  of  Is'ra-el  go  with  thee:  for  the  Lord  is 
not   with   Is'ra-el,  to  wit,  with  all   the   children  of 

8  E'phra-im.  But  'if  thou  wilt  go,  do  valiantly,  be 
strong  for  the  battle :  God  shall  cast  thee  down 
before   the  enemy ;    for   God    hath    power  to  help. 

9  and  to  cast  down.  And  Am-a-zi'ah  said  to  the  man 
of  God,  But  what  shall  we  do  for  the  hundred 
talents  which  I  have  given  to  the  'army  of  Ls'ra-el? 
And  the  man  of  God  answered.  The  Lord  is  able 

10  to  give  thee  much  more  than  this.  Then  Am-a-zi'ah 
separated  them,  to  wit,  the  *army  that  was  come  to 
him  out  of  E'phra-im,  to  go  home  again  :  wherefore 
their  anger  was  greatly  kindled  against  Ju'dah,  and 

11  they  returned  home  in  fierce  anger.  And  Am-a-zi'ah 
took  courage,  and  led  forth  his  people,  and  went  to 
^the  Valley  of  Salt,  and  smote  of  the   children  of 

12  Se'ir  ten  thousand.  And  other  ten  thousand  did  the 
children  of  Ju'dah  carry  away  alive,  and  brought 
them  unto  the  top  of  '"the  rock,  and  cast  them  down 
from  the  top  of  '"the  rock,  that  they  all  were  broken 

13  in  pieces.  But  "the  men  of  the  army  Avhich  Am-a- 
zi'ah  sent  back,  that  they  should  not  go  with  him  to 
battle,  fell  upon  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  from  Sa-ma'ri-a 
even  unto  Beth-ho'ron,  and  smote  of  them  three 
thousand,  and  took  much  spoil. 

14  Now  it  came  to  pass,  after  that  Am-a-zi'ah  was 
come  from  the  slaughter  of  the  E'dom-ites,  that  he 
brought  the  gods  of  the  children  of  Se'ir,  and  set 
them  up  to  be  his  gods,  and  bowed  down  him- 
self before   them,  and   burned   incense  unto  them.

15  Wherefore  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  against 
Am-a-zi'ah,  and  he  sent  unto  him  a  prophet,  which  said  unto 
him,  Why  hast  thou  sought  after  'the  gods  of  the  people, 
which  "could  not  deliver  their  own  people  out  of  thine  hand  ? 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  talked  with'  him,  that  the 
king  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  made  of  the  king's  counsel? 
forbear ;  why  shouldest  thou  be  smitten  ?  Then  the  prophet 
forbare,  and  said,  I  know  that  God  hath  t"determined  to 
destroy  thee,  because  thou  hast  done  this,  and  hast  not 
hearkened  unto  my  counsel. 

17  T[Then  °Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  took  advice,  and  sent 
to  Jo'ash,  the  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz,  the  son  of  Je'hu  king  of 
Is'ra-el,  saying,  Come,  let  us  see  one  another  in  the  face. 

18  And  Jo'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el  sent  to  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  saying,  The  ||  thistle  that  was  in  Leb'a-non  sent  to 
the  cedar  that  was  in  Leb'a-non,  saying.  Give  thy  daughter 
to  my  son  to  wife :  and  there  passed  by  fa  wild  beast  that 
was  in  Leb'a-non,  and  trode  down  the  thistle. 

19  Thou  sayest,  Lo,  thou  hast  smitten  the  E'dom-ites;  and 
thine  heart  lifteth  thee  up  to  boast :  abide  now  at  home ; 
why  shouldest  thou  meddle  to  thine  hurt,  that  thou  should- 
est fall,  even  thou,  and  Ju'dah  with  thee? 

20  But  Am-a-zi'ah  would  not  hear ;  for  "it  came  of  God, 
that  he  might  deliver  them  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies, 
because  they  'sought  after  the  gods  of  E'dom. 

21  So  Jo'ash  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  went  up;  and  they  saw 
one  another  in  the  fece,  both  he  and  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'- 
dah, at  Beth-she'mesh,  which  belongeth  to  Ju'dah. 

22  And  Ju'dah  was  fput  to  the  worse  before  Is'ra-el,  and 
they  fled  every  man  to  his  tent. 

23  And  Jo'ash  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  took  Am-a-zi'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah,  the  son  of  Jo'ash,  the  son  of  "■  Je-ho'a-haz,  at 
Beth-she'mesh,  and  brought  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  brake 
down  the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  the  gate  of  E'phra-im 
to  fthe  corner  gate,  four  hundred  cubits. 

24  And  he  took  all  the  gold  and  silver,  and  all  the  vessels 
that  were  found  in  the  house  of  God  with  0-bed-e'dom,  and 
the  treasures  of  the  king's  house,  the  hostages  also,  and  re- 
turned to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

25  ^'And  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of  Ju'dah  lived 
after  the  death  of  Jo'ash  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  king  of  Is'- 
ra-el fifteen  years. 

26  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Am-a-zi'ah,  first  and  last,  behold, 
are  they  not  written  in  thebook  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el? 

27  ^Now  after  the  time  that  Am-a-zi'ah  did  turn  away 
ffrom  following  the  Lord  they  fmade  a  conspiracy  against 
him  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  he  fled  to  La'chish :  but  they  sent 
to  La'chish  after  him,  and  slew  him  there. 

28  And  they  brought  him  upon  horses,  and  buried  him 
with  his  fethers  in  the  city  of  ||  Ju'dah. 

CHAPTEF^    XXVI. 

Uxziah  invadeth  the  priest's  office,  and  is  smitten. 

THEN  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah  took  "|lUz-zi'ah,  who  was 
sixteen  years  old,  and  made  him  king  in  the  room  of  his 
father  Am-a-zi'ah. 

2  He  built  E'loth,  and  restored  it  to  Ju'dah,  after  that  the 
king  slept  with  his  fathers. 

.3  Sixteen  years  old  was  Uz-zi'ah  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  fifty  and  two  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  His 
mother's  name  also  was  Jec-o-li'ah  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  according  to  all  that  his  father  Am-a-zi'ah  did. 

5  And  'he  sought  God  in  the  days  of  Zech-a-ri'ah,  who 
''had  understanding  fin  the  visions  of  God :  and,  as  long  as 
he  sought  the  Lord,  God  made  him  to  prosper. 

6  And  he  went  forth  and  ''warred  against  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
and  brake  down  the  wall  of  Gath,  and  the  wall  of  Jab'neb, 
and  the  wall  of  Ash'dod  and  built  cities  ||  about  Ash'dod, 
and  among  the  Phi-lis'tines. 


15  Wherefore  the  anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled 
against  Am-a-zi'ah,and  he  sent  unto  him  a  prophet, 
which  said  unto  him.  Why  hast  thou  sought  after  the 
gods  of  the  people,  which  have  not  delivered  their 

16  own  people  out  of  thine  hand  ?  And  it  came  to  pass, 
as  he  talked  with  him,  that  the  king  said  unto  him. 
Have  we  made  thee  of  the  king's  counsel  ?  forbear ; 
why  shouldest  thou  be  smitten  ?  Then  the  prophet 
forbare,  and  said,  I  know  that  God  hath  determined 
to  destroy  thee,  because  thou  hast  done  this,  and  hast 
not  hearkened  unto  my  counsel. 

17  'Then  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  took  advice,  and 
sent  to  Jo'ash,  the  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  the  son  of  Je'hu, 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  Come,  let  us  look  one  another 

18  in  the  face.  And  Jo'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el  sent  to  Am-a- 
zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  saying.  The  ^thistle  that  was  in 
Leb'a-non  sent  to  the  cedar  that  was  in  Leb'a-non, 
saying,  Give  thy  daughter  to  my  son  to  wife;  and 
there  passed  by  a  wild  beast  that  was  in  Leb'a-non, 

19  and  trode  down  the  thistle.  Thou  sayest,  Lo,  thou 
hast  smitten  E'dom;  and  thine  heart  lifteth  thee  up 
to  boast :  abide  now  at  home ;  why  shouldest  thou 
^meddle  to  thy  hurt,  that  thou  shouldest  fall,  even 

20  thou,  and  Ju'dah  with  thee  ?  But  Am-a-zi'ah  would 
not  hear ;  for  it  was  of  God,  that  he  might  deliver 
them  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies,  because  they 

21  had  sought  after  the  gods  of  E'dom.  So  Jo'ash  king 
of  Is'ra-el  went  up ;  and  he  and  Am-a-zi'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah  looked  one  another  in  the  face  at  Beth-she'- 

22  mesh  which  belongeth  to  Ju'dah.  And  Ju'dah  was 
put  to  the  worse  before  Is'ra-el ;  and  they  fled  every 

23  man  to  his  tent.  And  Jo'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el  took 
Am-a-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  the  son  of  Jo'ash  the  son  of 
Je-ho'a-haz,  at  Beth-she'mesh,  and  brought  him  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  brake  down  the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  from 
the  gate  of  E'phra-im  unto  ^the  corner  gate,  four  hun- 

24  dred  cubits.  And  he  took  all  the  gold  and  silver,  and 
all  the  vessels  that  Avere  found  in  the  house  of  God 
with  '0-bed-e'dom,  and  the  treasures  of  the  king's 
house,  the  hostages  also,  and  returned  to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

25  And  Am-a-zi'ah  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of  Ju'dah 
lived  after  the  death  of  Jo'ash  son  of  Je-ho'a-haz  king 

26  of  Is'ra-el  fifteen  years.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Ara-a-zi'ah,  first  and  last,  behold,  are  they  not  written 

27  in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el?  Now 
from  the  time  that  Am-a-zi'ah  did  turn  away  from  fol- 
lowing the  Lord  they  made  a  conspiracy  against 
him  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  he  fled  to  La'chish :  but 
they  sent  after  him  to  La'chish,  and  slew  him  there. 

28  And  they  brought  him  upon  horses,  and  buried  him 
with  his  fathers  in  'the  city  of  Ju'dah. 

^O  And  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah  took  'Uz-zi'ah,  who 
was  sixteen  years  old,  and  made  him  king  in  the 

2  room  of  his  father  Am-a-zi'ah.  He  built  E'loth,  and 
restored  it  to  Ju'dah,  after  that  the  king  slept  with 

3  his  fathers.  'Sixteen  years  old  was  Uz-zi'ah  when  he 
began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  fifty  and  two  years 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  his  mother's  name  was  Jech-i-li'ah 

4  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in 
the  eyes  of  the   Lord,   according  to   all  that  his 

5  father  Am-a-zi'ah  had  done.  And  he  set  himself  to 
seek  God  in  the  days  of  Zech-a-ri'ah,  who  'had  under- 
standing in  "the  vision  of  God :  and  as  long  as  he 

6  sought  the  Lord,  God  made  him  to  prosper.  And 
he  went  forth  and  warred  against  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
and  brake  down  the  wall  of  Gath,  and  the  wall  of 
Jab'neh,  and  the  wall  of  Ash'dod;  and  he  built  cities 
in  the  country  of  Ash'dod,  and  among  the  Phi-lis'tines.

7  And  God  helped  him  against  "the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  against 
the  A-ra'bi-an.'i  that  dwelt  in  Gur-ba'al,  and  the  Me-hu'nim. 

8  And  the  Am'mon-ites  •'^gave  gifts  to  Uz-zi'ah :  and  his 
name  fspread  abroad  even  to  the  entering  in  of  E'gypt ;  for 
he  strengthened  himself  exceedingly. 

9  Moreover  Uz-zi'ah  built  towers  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  at  the 
"corner  gate,  and  at  the  valley  gate,  and  at  the  turning  of  the 
wall,  and  ||  fortified  them. 

10  Also  he  built  towers  in  the  desert,  and  ||  digged  many 
wells :  for  he  had  much  cattle,  both  in  the  low  country,  and 
in  the  plains;  husbandmen  aho,  and  vinedressers  in  the 
mountains,  and  in  ||Car'm«l:  for  he  loved  fhusbandry. 

11  Moreover  Uz-zi'ah  had  a  host  of  fighting  men,  that 
went  out  to  war  by  bands,  according  to  the  number  of  their 
account  by  the  hand  of  Je-i'el  the  scribe  and  Ma-a-se'iah 
the  ruler,  under  the  hand  of  Han-a-ni'ah,  one  of  the  king's 
captains. 

12  The  Avhole  number  of  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  the 
mighty  men  of  valour  were  two  thousand  and  six  hundred. 

13  And  under  their  hand  was  fan  army,  three  hun- 
dred thousand  and  seven  thousand  and  five  hundred,  that 
made  war  with  mighty  power,  to  help  the  king  against  the 
enemy.   fS 

14  And  Uz-zi'ah  prepared  for  them  throughout  all  the 
host,  shields,  and  spears,  and  helmets,  and  habergeons,  and 
bows,  and  fslings  to  cast  stones. 

15  And  he  made  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  engines,  invented  by  cun- 
ning men,  to  be  on  the  towers  and  upon  the  bulwarks,  to 
shoot  arrows  and  great  stones  withal.  And  his  name 
fspread  far  abroad ;  for  he  was  marvellously  helped,  till  he 
was  strong. 

16  ^But  ''when  he  was  strong,  his  heart  was  lifted  up  to 
his  destruction  :  for  he  transgressed  against  the  Lobd  his 
God,  and  'went  into  the  temple  of  the  Lokd  to  burn  in- 
cense upon  the  altar  of  incense. 

17  And  'Az-a-ri'ah  the  priest  went  in  after  him,  and  with 
him  fourscore  priests  of  the  Lord,  that  were  valiant  men. 

18  And  they  withstood  Uz-zi'ah  the  king,  and  said  unto 
him,  It  "'appertaineth  not  unto  thee,  Uz-zi'ah,  to  burn  in- 
cense unto  the  Loed,  but  to  the  "priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron, 
that  are  consecrated  to  burn  incense :  go  out  ©f  the  sanctu- 
ary ;  for  thou  hast  trespassed ;  neither  shall  it  be  for  thine 
honour  from  the  Lord  God. 

1.9  Then  Uz-zi'ah  was  wroth,  and  had  a  censer  in  his  hand 
to  burn  incense :  and  while  he  was  wroth  with  the  priests, 
"the  leprosy  even  rose  up  in  his  forehead  before  the  priests 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  from  beside  the  incense  altar. 

20  And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  chief  priest,  and  all  the  priests, 
looked  upon  him,  and,  behold,  he  was  leprous  in  his  forehead, 
and  they  thrust  him  out  from  thence ;  yea,  himself  "hasted 
also  to  go  out,  because  the  Lord  had  smitten  him. 

21  'And  Uz-zi'ah  the  king  was  a  leper  unto  the  day  of 
his  de^th,  and  dwelt  in  a  '■fseveral  house,  being  a  leper :  for 
he  was  cut  off  from  the  house  of  the  Lord:  and  Jo'tham 
his  son  was  over  the  king's  house,  judging  the  people  of 
the  land. 

22  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Uz-zi'ah,  first  and  last, 
did  'I-sa'iah  the  prophet,  the  son  of  A'moz,  write. 

23  'So  Uz-zi'ah  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
with  his  fathers  in  the  field  of  the  burial  which  belonged  to 
the  kings;  for  they  said,  He  is  a  leper:  and  Jo'tham  his 
son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER     XXVII. 

Joiham  reigneth  well—Ahaz  succeedeth  him. 

JO'THAM  "was  twenty  and  five  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  His 
mother's  name  also  was  Je-ru'shah,  the  daughter  of  Za'dok. 
2  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  his  father  Uz-zi'ah  did :  howbeit  he 


7  And  God  helped  him  against  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and 
against  the  A-ra'bi-ans  that  dwelt  in  Gur-ba'al,  and 

8  the  Me-u'nim.  And  the  Am'mon-ites  gave  gifts  to 
Uz-zi'ah :  and  his  name  spread  abroad  even  to  the 
entering    in    of  E'gypt;    for   he    waxed   exceeding 

9  strong.  Moreover  Uz-zi'ah  built  towers  in  Je-ru'sa-lem 
at  the  corner  gate,  and  at  the  valley  gate,  and  at  the 

10  turning  oj  the  wall,  and  fortified  them.  And  he 
built  towers  in  the  wilderness,  and  hewed  out  many 
cisterns,  for  he  had  much  cattle;  in  the  lowland 
also,  and  in  the  'plain :  and  he  had  husbandmen  and 
vinedressers  in  the  mountains  and  in  ^the  fruitful 

11  fields;  for  he  loved  husbandry.  Moreover  Uz-zi'ah 
had  an  army  of  fighting  men,  that  went  out  to  war 
by  bands,  according  to  the  number  of  their  reckon- 
ing made  by  Je-i'el  the  scribe  and  Ma-a-se'iah  the 
officer,  under  the  hand  of  Han-a-ni'ah,  one  of  the 

12  king's  captains.  The  whole  number  of  the  heads  of 
father's  houses,  even  the  mighty  men  of  valour,  was 

13  two  thousand  and  six  hundred.  And  under  their 
hand  was  'a  trained  army,  three  hundred  thousand 
and  seven  thousand  and  five  hundred,  that  made 
war  with  mighty   power,  to  help  the  king  against 

14  the  enemy.  And  Uz-zi'ah  prepared  for  them,  even 
for  all  the  host,  shields,  and  spears,  and  helmets, 
and  coats  of  mail,  and  bows,  and  stones  for  sling- 

15  ing.  And  he  made  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  engines,  invented 
by  cunning  men,  to  be  on  the  towers  and  upon  the 
'battlements,  to  shoot  arrows  and  great  stones 
withal.  And  his  name  spread  far  abroad;  for  he 
was  marvellously  helped,  till  he  was  strong. 

16  But  when  he  was  strong,  his  heart  was  lifted  up 
'so  that  he  did  corruptly,  and  he  trespassed  against 
the  Lord  his  God;  for  he  went  into  the  temple  of 
the  Lord  to  burn  license  upon  the  altar  of  incense. 

17  And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  priest  went  in  after  him,  and  with 
him  fourscore  priests  of  the  Lord,  that  were  valiant 

18 men:  and  they  withstood  Uz-zi'ah  the  king, and  said 
unto  him.  It  pertaineth  not  unto  thee,  Uz-zi'ah,  to 
burn  incense  unto  the  Lord,  but  to  the  priests  the 
sons  of  Aa'ron,  that  are  consecrated  to  burn  incense : 
go  out  of  the  sanctuary ;  for  thou  hast  trespassed ; 
neither  shall  it  be  for  thine  honour  from  the  Lord 

19  God.  Then  Uz-zi'ah  was  wroth ;  and  he  had  a  censer 
in  his  hand  to  burn  incense ;  and  while  he  was  wroth 
with  the  priests,  the  leprosy  ^brake  forth  in  his  fore- 
head before  the  priests  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

20  beside  the  altar  of  incense.     And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  chief 

Eriest,  and  all  the  priests,  looked  upon  him,  and,  be- 
old,  he  was  leprous  in  his  forehead,  and  they  thrust 
him  out  quickly  from  thence ;  yea,  himself  hasted  also 

21  to  go  out,  because  the  Lord  had  smitten  him.  "And 
Uz-zi'ah  the  king  was  a  leper  unto  the  day  of  his  death, 
and  dwelt  in  a  ^several  house,  being  a  leper ;  for  he 
was  cut  off  from  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and  Jo'tham 
his  son  was  over  the  king's  house,  judging  the  peo- 

22  pie  of  the  land.  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Uz-zi'ah, 
first  and  last,  did  I-sa'iah  the  prophet,  the  son  of 

23  A'moz,  write.  So  Uz-zi'ah  slept  with  his  fathers ;  and 
they  buried  him  with  his  fathers  in  the  field  of  burial 
which  belonged  to  the  kings ;  for  they  said,  He  is  a 
leper :  and  Jo'tham  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

«/  'Jo'tham  was  twenty  and  five  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem  :  and  his  mother's  name  was  Je-ru'shah 
2  the  daughter  of  Za'dok.  And  he  did  that  which 
was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  according  to 
all  that  his  father  IJz-zi'ah  had  done :   howbeit  he

entered  not  into  the  temple  of  the  Lord.     And  'the  people 
did  yet  corruptly. 

3  He  built  the  high  gate  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
on  the  wall  of  ||0'phel  he  built  much. 

4  Moreover  he  built  cities  in  the  mountains  of  Ju'dah, 
and  in  the  forests  he  built  castles  and  towers. 

5  T[He  fought  also  with  the  king  of  the  Am'mon-ites, 
and  prevailed  against  them.  And  the  children  of  Am'mon 
gave  him  the  same  year  a  hundred  talents  of  silver,  and  ten 
thousand  measures  of  wheat,  and  ten  thousand  of  barley. 
fSo  much  did  the  children  of  Am'mon  pay  unto  him,  both 
the  second  year,  and  the  third. 

6  So  Jo'tham  became  mighty,  because  he  ||  prepared  his 
ways  before  the  Lord  his  God. 

7  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo'tham,  and  all  his  wars, 
and  his  ways,  lo,  they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  kings 
of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah. 

8  He  was  five  and  twenty  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9  ^"And  Jo'tham  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and  A'haz  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER    XXVIII. 

Ahaz^  reigning  wickedly,  is  afflicted  by  ihe  Syrians. 

A'HAZ  'was  twenty  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  but  he  did 
not  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  like  Da'vid 
his  father : 

2  For  he  walked  in  the  ways  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
made  also  'molten  images  for  "Ba'al-im. 

3  Moreover  he  ||  burnt  incense  in  ''the  valley  of  the  sou  of 
Hin'nom,  and  burnt  'his  children  in  the  fire,  after  the 
abominations  of  the  heathen  whom  the  Lord  had  cast  out 
before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  He  sacrificed  also  and  burnt  incense  in  the  high  places, 
and  on  the  hills,  and  under  every  green  tree. 

5  Wherefore  -^the  Lord  his  God  delivered  him  into  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  Syr'i-a;  and  they  "smote  him,  and  carried  away 
a  great  multitude  of  them  captives,  and  brought  them  to 
fDa-mas'cus.  And  he  was  also  delivered  into  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  who  smote  him  with  a  great  slaughter. 

6  ^For*Pe'kah  the  sonof  Rem-a-li'ah  slew  in  Ju'dahahun- 
dred  and  twenty  thousand  in  one  day,  which  were  all  fvaliant 
men;  because  they  had  forsaken  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

7  And  Zich'ri,  a  mighty  man  of  E'phra-im,  slew  Ma-a-se'iah 
the  king's  son,  and  Az'ri-kam  the  governor  of  the  house,  and 
El'ka-nah  that  was  fnext  to  the  king. 

8  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  carried  away  captive  of  their 
•brethren  two  hundred  thousand,  women,  sons,  and  daugh- 
ters, and  took  also  away  much  spoil  from  them,  and  brought 
the  spoil  to  Sa-ma'ri'a. 

9  But  a  prophet  of  the  Lord  was  there,  whose  name  was 
O'ded:  and  he  went  out  before  the  host  that  came  to  Sa- 
ma'ri-a,  and  said  unto  them.  Behold,  ^because  the  Lord  God 
of  your  fathers  was  wroth  with  Ju'dah,  he  hath  delivered 
them  into  your  hand,  and  ye  have  slain  them  in  a  rage  that 
'reacheth  up  unto  heaven. 

10  And  now  ye  purpose  to  keep  under  the  children  of  Ju'- 
dah and  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  "'bondmen  and  bondwomen  unto 
you  :  bul  are  there  not  with  you,  even  with  you,  sins  against 
the  Lord  your  God  ? 

11  Now  hear  me  therefore,  and  deliver  the  captives  again, 
which  ye  have  taken  captive  of  your  brethren:  "for  the 
fierce  wrath  of  the  Lord  is  upon  you. 

12  Then  certain  of  the  heads  of  the  children  of  E'phra-im, 
Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Jo-ha'nan,  Ber-e-chi'ah  the  sonof  Me- 
shil'le-moth,  and  Je-hiz-ki'ah  the  son  of  Shal'lum,  and 
Am'a-sa  the  son  of  Had'la-i,  stood  up  against  them  that 
came  from  the  war, 

13  And  said  unto  them.  Ye  shall  not  bring  in  the  captives 


entered  not  into  the  temple  of  the  Lord.     And  the 

3  people  did  yet  corruptly.  He  built  the  upper  gate 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  on  the  wall  of  Cphel 

4  he  built  much.  Moreover  he  built  cities  in  the  hill 
country  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  forests  he  built  castles 

5  and  towers.  He  fought  also  with  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon,  and  prevailed  against  them. 
And  the  children  of  Am'mon  gave  him  the  same 
year  an  hundred  talents  of  silver,  and  ten  thousand 
'measures  of  wheat,  and  ten  thousand  of  barley. 
So  much  did  the   children  of  Am'mon  render  unto 

6  him,  in  the  second  year  also,  and  in  the  third.  So 
Jo'tham    became  mighty,   because    he    ordered    his 

7  ways  before  the  Lord  his  God.  Now  the  rest  of  the 
acts  of  Jo'tham,  and  all  his  wars,  and  his  ways,  behold, 
they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el 

Sand  Ju'dah.  He  was  five  and  twenty  years  old 
when  he  began  to  reign,  and  reigned  sixteen  years 

9  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  Jo'tham  slept  with  his  fathers, 
and  they  buried  him  in  the  city  of  Da'vid :  and  A'haz 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

'^O     ^^ A'haz  was  twenty  years  old  when  S^egan  to 

reign ;  and  he  reigned  sixteen  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  : 

and  he  did  not  that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes  of 

2 the  Lord,  like  Da'vid  his  father:  but  he  walked  in 

the  ways  of    the   kings    of  Is'ra-el,  and  made  also 

3  molten  images  for  the  Ba'al-im.  Moreover  he  burnt 
incense  in  the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  and 
burnt  his  children  in  the  fire,  according  to  the 
abominations  of  the  heathen,  whom  the  Lord  cast 

4  out  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he  sacrificed 
and  burnt  incense  in  the  high   places,  and  on  the 

5  hills,  and  under  every  green  tree.  Wherefore  the 
Lord  his  God  delivered  him  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Syr'i-a ;  and  they  smote  him,  and  carried  away 
of  his  a  great  multitude  of  captives,  and  brought 
them  to  Da-mas'cus.  And  he  was  also  delivered 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  who  smote  him 

6  with  a  great  slaughter.  For  Pe'kah  the  son  of 
Rem-a-li'ah  slew  in  Ju'dah  an  hundred  and  twenty 
thousand  in  one  day,  all  of  them  valiant  men;  be- 
cause they  had  forsaken  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their 

7  fathers.  And  Zich'ri,  a  mighty  man  of  E'phra-im, 
slew  Ma-a-se'iah  the  king's  son,  and  Az'ri-kam  the 
ruler  of  the  house,  and  El'ka-nah  that  was  ''next  to 

8  the  king.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  carried  away 
captive  of  their  brethren  two  hundred  thousand, 
women,  sons,  and  daughters,  and  took  also  away 
much    spoil    from    them,  and   brought  the  spoil  to 

9Sa-ma'ri-a.  But  a  prophet  of  the  Lord  was  there, 
whose  name  was  G'ded  :  and  he  went  out  to  meet 
the  host  that  came  to  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  said  unto  them 
Behold,  because  the  Lord,  the  God  of  your  fathers, 
was  wroth  with  Ju'dah,  he  hath  delivered  them  into 
your  hand,  and  ye  have  slain  them  in  a  rage  which 

10  hath  reached  up  unto  heaven.  And  now  ye  pur- 
pose to  keep  under  the  children  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem for  bondmen  and  bondwomen  unto  you:  but 
are  there  not  even  with  you  Hrespasses  of  your  own 

11  against  the  Lord  your  God?  Now  hear  me  there- 
fore, and  send  back  the  captives,  which  ye  have  taken 
captive  of  your  brethren :  for  the  fierce  wrath  of  the 

12  Lord  is  upon  vou.  Then  certain  of  the  heads  of  the 
children  of  E'phra-im,  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Jo-ha'nan, 
Ber-e-chi'ahthesonofMe-shirie-moth,and  Je-hiz-ki'ah 
the  son  of  Shal'lum,  and  Am'a-sa  the  son  of  Had'la-i, 

13  stood  up  against  them  that  came  from  the  war,  and 
said  unto  them.  Ye  shall  not  bring  in  the  captives

hither :  for  whereas  we  have  offended  against  the  Lord 
already,  ye  intend  to  add  more  to  our  sins  and  to  our  tres- 
pass: for  our  trespass  is  great,  and  there  is  fierce  wrath 
against  Ls'ra-el. 

14  So  the  armed  men  left  the  captives  and  the  spoil  before 
the  princes  and  all  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  men  "which  were  expressed  by  name  rose  up, 
and  took  the  captives,  and  with  the  spoil  clothed  all  that 
were  naked  among  them,  and  arrayed  them,  and  shod  them, 
and  "gave  them  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  anointed  them,  and 
carried  all  the  feeble  of  them  upon  asses,  and  brought  them 
to  Jer'i-cho,  "the  city  of  palm  trees,  to  their  brethren :  then 
they  returned  to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

16  ^''At  that  time  did  king  A'haz  send  unto  the  kings  of 
As-syr'i-a  to  help  him. 

17  For  again  the  E'dom-ites  had  come  and  smitten  Ju'dah, 
and  carried  away  fcaptives. 

18  'The  Phi-lis'tines  also  had  invaded  the  cities  of  the  low 
country,  and  of  the  south  of  Ju'dah,  and  had  taken  Beth- 
she'mesh,  and  Aj'a-lon,  and  Ge-de'roth,  and  Sho'cho  with 
the  villages  thereof,  and  Tim'nah  with  the  villages  thereof, 
Gim'zo  also  and  the  villages  thereof:  and  they  dwelt  there. 

19  For  the  Lord  brought  Ju'dah  low  because  of  A'haz  king 
of  'Is'ra-el ;  for  he  "made  Ju'dah  naked,  and  transgressed 
sore  against  the  Lord. 

20  And  ""Til'^ath-pil-ne'ser  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came  unto 
him,  and  distretted  him,  but  strengthened  him  not. 

21  For  A'haz  took  away  a  portion  out  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  out  of  the  house  of  the  king,  and  of  the  princes, 
and  gave  (7  unto  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a:  but  he  helped  him  not. 

22  ^And  in  the  time  of  his  distress  did  he  trespass  yet 
more  against  the  Lord  :  this  is  that  king  A'haz. 

23  For  "he  sacrificed  unto  the  gods  of  tDa-ma.s'cus,  which 
smote  him :  and  he  said,  Because  the  gods  of  the  kings  of 
Syr'i-a  help  them,  therefore  will  I  sacrifice  to  them,  that  'they 
may  help  me.  But  they  were  the  ruin  of  him,  and  of  all  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  A'haz  gathered  together  the  vessels  of  the  house 
of  God,  and  cut  in  pieces  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  God, 
"and  shut  up  the  doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  he 
made  him  altars  in  every  corner  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

25  And  in  every  several  city  of  Ju'dah  he  made  high  places 
!|to  burn  incense  unto  other  gods,  and  provoked  to  anger 
the  Lord  God  of  his  fathers. 

26  ^'Now  the  rest  of  his  acts  and  of  all  his  ways,  first 
and  last,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el. 

27  And  A'haz  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  they  buried  him 
in  the  city,  even  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  but  they  brought  him  not 
into  the  sepulchres  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el :  and  Hez-e-ki'ah 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAF'TER  XXIX. 

Hezekiak^ s  good  reign— He  restoreth  religion. 

HEZ-E-KI'AH  "began  to  reign  when  he  was  five  and 
twenty  years  old,  and  he  reigned  nine  and  twenty  years 
in  Je-ru'.sa-lem.  And  his  mother's  name  was  A-bi'jah  the 
daughter  ''of  Zech-a-ri'ah. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Da'vid  his  father  had  done. 

3.  ^He  in  the  first  year  of  his  reign^  in  the  first  month, 
■"opened  the  doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  repaired  them. 

4  And  he  brought  in  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  gath- 
ered them  together  into  the  east  street, 

5  And  said  unto  them,  Hear  me,  ye  Le'vites;  ''sanctify  now 
yourselve-s,  and  sanctify  the  house  of  the  Lord  God  of  your 
fathers,  and  carry  forth  the  filthiness  out  of  the  holy  place. 

6  For  our  fathers  have  trespassed,  and  done  that  which  teas 
evil  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  our  God,  and  have  forsaken 
him,  and  have  "turned  away  their  faces  from  the  habitation 
of  the  Lord,  and  fturned  their  backs. 


hither:  for  ye  purpose  that  which  will  bring  upon  us 
*a  trespass  against  the  Lord,  to  add  unto  our  sins 
and  to  our  'trespass:  for  our  'trespass  is  great,  and 
14there  is  fierce  wrath  against  Is'ra-el.  So  the  armed 
men  left  the  captives  and  the  spoil  before  the  princes 

15  and  all  the  congregation.  And  the  men  which  have 
been  expressed  by  name  rose  up,  and  took  the  cap- 
tives, and  with  the  spoil  clothed  all  that  were  naked 
among  Lhem,  and  arrayed  them,  and  shod  them,  and 
gave  them  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  anointed  them, 
and  carried  all  the  feeble  of  them  upon  asses,  and 
brought  them  to  Jer'i-cho,  the  city  of  palm  trees,  unto 
their  brethren :  then  they  returned  to  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

16  ^At  that  time  did  king  A'haz  send  unto  the  'kings 

17  of  As-syr'i-a  to  help  him.  For  again  the  E'dom-ites 
had   come    and   smitten    Ju'dah,    and  carried  away 

IS^captives.  The  Phi-lis'tines  also  had  invaded  the 
cities  of  the  lowland,  and  of  the  South  of  Ju'dah, 
and  had  taken  Beth-she'mesh,  and  Ai'ja-lon,  and 
Ge-de'roth,  and  So'co  with  the  ''towns  thereof,  and 
Tim'nah  with  the  ''towns  thereof,  Gim'zo  also  and  the 

19 'towns  thereof:  and  they  dwelt  there.  For  the 
Lord  brought  Ju'dah  low  because  of  A'haz  king  of 
Is'ra-el ;  for  he  had  Mealt  wantonly  in  Ju'dah,  and 

20  trespassed  sore  against  the  Lord.  And  Til'gath- 
pil-ne'ser  king  of  Assyr'i-a  came  'unto  him,  and  dis- 

21  tressed  him,  but  'strengthened  him  not.  For  A'haz 
took  away  a  portion  out  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  out  of  the  house  of  the  king  and  of  the  princes, 
and  gave  it  unto  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a :  but  it  helped 

22  him  not.  And  in  the  time'  'of  his  distress  did  he 
trespass  yet  more  against  the  Lord,  this  same  king 

23  A'haz.  For  he  sacrificed  unto  the  gods  of '"Da-mas'cus 
which  smote  him:  and  he  said,  Because  the  gods  of 
the  kings  of  Syr'i-a  helped  them,  therefore  will  I  sacri 
fice  to  them,  that  they  may  help  me.     But  they  were 

24  the  ruin  of  him,  and  of  all  Is'ra-el.  And  A'haz  gath- 
ered together  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  God,  and 
cut  in  pieces  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  God,  and 
shut  up  the  doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  ;  and  he 

25  made  him  altars  in  every  corner  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
in  every  several  city  of  Ju'dah  he  made  high  places  to 
burn  incense  unto  other  gods,  and  provoked  to  anger 

26  the  Lord,  the  God  of  his  fathers.  Now  the  rest  of 
his  acts,  and  all  his  ways,  first  and  last,  behold,  they 
are  written  in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  and 

27  Is'ra-el.  And  A'haz  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  they 
buried  him  in  the  city,  even  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  for  they 
brought  him  not  into  the  sepulchres  of  the  kings  of 
Is'ra-el :  and  Hez-e-ki'ah  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

Aij  "Hez-e-ki'ah  began  to  reign  when  he  was  five  and 
twenty  years  old;  and  he  reigned  nine  and  twenty 
years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and  his  mother's  name  was 

2  A-bi'jah  the  daughter  of  Zech-a-ri'ah,  And  he  did 
that  which  was  right  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Da'vid  his  father    had   done. 

3  He  in  the  first  year  of  his  reign,  in  the  first  month, 
opened  the  doors  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  re- 

4  paired  them.  And  he  brought  in  the  priests  and 
the  Le'vites,   and  gathered  them  together  into  the 

5  broad  place  on  the  east,  and  said  unto  them,  Hear 
me,  ye  Le'vites ;  now  sanctify  yourselves,  and  sanctify 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  the  God  of  your  fathers,  and 

6  carry  forth  the  filthiness  out  of  the  holy  place.  For 
our  fathers  have  trespassed,  and  done  that  which 
was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ou  r  God,  and  have 
forsaken  him,  and  have  turned  awaj  their  faces  from 
the  habitation  of  the  Lord,  and  tui-ned  their  backs.

7  -^Also  they  have  shut  up  the  doors  of  the  porch,  and  put 
out  the  lamps,  and  have  not  burned  incense  nor  offered  burnt 
offerings  in  the  holy  place  unto  the  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

8  Wherefore  the  "wrath  of  the  Lord  was  upon  Ju'dah  and 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  he  hath  delivered  them  to  ftrouble,  to  as- 
tonishment, and  to  ''hissing,  as  ye  see  with  your  eyes. 

9  For,  lo,  'our  fathers  have  fallen  by  the  sword,  and  our 
sons  and  our  daughters  and  our  wives  are  in  captivity 
for  this. 

10  Now  U  is  in  mine  heart  to  make  *a  covenant  with  the 
Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  that  his  fierce  wrath  may  turn  away 
from  us. 

11  My  sons,  ||be  not  now  negligent:  for  the  Lord  hath 
'chosen  you  to  stand  before  him,  to  serve  him,  and  that  ye 
should  minister  unto  him,  and  ||burn  incense. 

12  ^Then  the  Le'vites  arose,  Ma'hath  the  son  of  A-mas'a-i, 
and  Jo'el  the  son  of  Az-a-ri'ah,of  the  sons  of  the  Ko'hath-ites : 
and  of  the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri ;  Kish  the  son  of  Ab'di,  and  Az-a- 
ri'ah  the  son  of  Je-hal'e-lel :  and  of  the  Ger'shon-ites ;  Jo'ah 
the  son  of  Zim'mah,  and  E'den  the  son  of  Jo'ah : 

13  And  of  the  sons  of  E-liz'a-phan ;  Shim'ri,  and  Je-i'el: 
and  of  the  sons  of  A'saph ;  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  Mat-ta-ni'ah  : 

14  And  of  the  sons  of  He'man ;  Je-hi'el,  and  Shim'e-i :  and 
of  the  sons  of  Jed'u-thun ;  Shem-a-i'ah,  and  Uz'zi-el. 

15  And  they  gathered  their  brethren  and  ""sanctified  them- 
selves, and  came  according  to  the  commandment  of  the 
king,  1 1  by  the  words  of  the  Lord,  "to  cleanse  the  house  of 
the  Lord. 

16  And  the  priests  went  into  the  inner  part  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  to  cleanse  it,  and  brought  out  all  the  unclean- 
ness  that  they  found  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord  into  the 
court  of  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  the  Le'vites  took  it, 
to  carry  it  out  abroad  into  the  brook  Kid'ron. 

17  Now  they  began  on  the  first  day  of  the  first  month  to 
sanctify,  and  on  the  eighth  day  of  the  month  came  they  to 
the  porch  of  the  Lord  :  so  they  sanctified  the  house  of  the 
Lord  in  eight  days ;  and  in  the  sixteenth  day  of  the  first 
month  they  made  an  end. 

18  Then  they  went  in  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king,  and  said.  We 
have  cleansed  all  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  altar  of 
burnt  offering,  with  all  the  vessels  thereof,  and  the  shew- 
bread  table,  with  all  the  vessels  thereof. 

19  Moreover  all  the  vessels,  which  king  A'haz  in  his 
reign  did  "cast  away  in  his  transgression,  have  we  prepared 
and  sanctified,  and,  behold,  they  are  before  the  altar  of 
the  Lord. 

20  ^Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king  rose  early,  and  gathered  the 
rulers  of  the  city,  and  went  up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  they  brought  seven  bullocks,  and  seven  rams,  and 
seven  lambs,  and  seven  he-goats,  for  a  "sin  offering  for  the 
kingdom,  and  for  the  sanctuary,  and  for  Ju'dah.  And  he 
commanded  the  priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  to  offer  them  on 
the  altar  of  the  Lord. 

22  So  they  killed  the  bullocks,  and  the  priests  received 
the  blood,  and  'sprinkled  it  on  the  altar:  likewise,  when 
they  had  killed  the  rams,  they  sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the 
altar:  they  killed  also  the  lambs,  and  they  sprinkled  the 
blood  upon  the  altar. 

23  And  they  brought  fforth  the  he-goats /or  the  sin  of- 
fering before  the  king  and  the  congregation  ;  and  they  laid 
their  'hands  upon  them : 

24  And  the  priests  killed  them,  and  they  made  recon- 
ciliation with  their  blood  upon  the  altar,  'to  make  an 
atonement  for  all  Is'ra-el :  for  the  king  commanded  that 
the  burnt  offering  and  the  sin  offering  should  be  made  for 
all  Is'ra-el. 

25  'And  he  set  the  Le'vites  in  the  house  of  the  Lord 
with  cymbals,  with  psalteries,  and  with  harps,  "according 
to  the  commandment  of  Da'vid,  and  of 'Gad  the  king's  seer, 


7  Also  they  have  shut  up  the  doors  of  the  porch,  and 
put  out  the  latnps,  and  have  not  burned  incense  nor 
offered  burnt  offerings  in  the  holy  place  unto  the 

8  God  of  Is'ra-el.  Wherefore  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  he  hath  deliv- 
ered them  to  be  'tossed  to  and  fro,  to  be  an  astonish- 
ment, and  an   hissing,  as  ye   see   with  your  eyes 

9  For,  lo,  our  fathers  have  fallen  by  the  sword,  and 
our  sons  and  our  daughters  and  our  wives  are  in 

10  captivity  for  this.  Now  it  is  in  mine  heart  to  make 
a  covenant  with  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  that 

11  his  fierce  anger  may  turn  away  from  us.  My  sons, 
be  not  now  negligent:  for  the  Lord  hath  chosen 
you  to  stand  before  him,  to  minister  unto  him,  and 
that  ye  should  be  his  ministers,  and  burn  incense. 

1 2  Then  the  Le'vites  arose,Ma'hath  the  son  of  A-mas'a-i, 
and  Jo'el  the  son  of  Az-a-ri'ah,  of  the  sons  of  the 
Ko'hath-ites  :  and  of  the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri,  Kish  the 
sonof  Ab'di,  and  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Je-hal'le-lel :  and 
of  the  Ger'shon-ites,  Jo'ah  the  son  of  Zim'mah,  and 

13  E'den,  the  son  of  Jo'ah :  and  of  the  sons  of  E-liz'a-phan, 
Shim'ri   and  Je-u'el :  and  of  the  sons  of  A'.saph, 

14  Zech-a-ri'ah  and  Mat-ta-ni'ah:  andof  the  sons  of  He'man, 
Je-hu'el  and  Shim'e-i :  and  of  the  soas  of  Jed'u-thun, 

15  Shem-a-i'ah  and  Uz'zi-el.  And  they  gathered  their 
brethren,  and  sanctified  themselves,  and  went  in, 
according  to  the  commandment  of  the  king  by  the 
words  of  the    Lord,  to   cleanse   the  house   of  the 

16  Lord.  And  the  priests  went  in  unto  the  inner  part 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  to  cleanse  it,  and  brought 
out  all  the  uncleanness  that  they  found  in  the  temple 
of  the  Lord  into  the  court  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord.     And  the   Le'vites  took  it,  to  carry  it  out 

17  abroad  to  the  brook  Kid'ron.  Now  they  began  on 
the  first  day  of  the  first  month  to  sanctify,  and  on 
the  eighth  day  of  the  month  came  they  to  the  porch 
of  the  Lord  :  and  they  sanctified  the  house  of  the 
Lord  in  eight  days :  and  on  the  sixteenth  day  of 

18  the  first  month  they  made  an  end.  Then  they  went 
in  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king  within  the  palace,  and  said, 
We  have  cleansed  all  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and 
the  altar  of  burnt  offering,  with  all  the  vessels 
thereof,  and  the  table  of  shewbread,  with  all   the 

19  vessels  thereof.  Moreover  all  the  vessels,  which 
king  A'haz  in  his  reign  did  cast  away  when  he  tres- 
passed, have  we  prepared  and  sanctified ;  and,  behold, 
they  are  before  the  altar  of  the  Lord. 

20  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king  arose  early,  and  gathered 
the  princes  of  the  city,  and  went  up  to  the  house  of 

21  the  Lord.  And  they  brought  seven  bullocks,  and 
seven  rams,  and  seven  lambs,  and  seven  he-goats, 
for  a  sin  offering  for  the  kingdom  and  for  the 
sanctuary  and  for  Ju'dah.  And  he  commanded  the 
priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  to  offer  them  on  the  altar 

22  of  the  Lord.  So  they  killed  the  bullocks,  and  the 
priests  received  the  blood,  and  sprinkled  it  on  the 
altar :  and  they  killed  the  rams,  and  sprinkled  the 
blood  upon   the  altar:  they  killed  also  the   lambs, 

23  and  sprinkled  the  blood  upon  the  altar.  And  they 
brouglit  near  the  he-goats  for  the  sin  offering  before 
the  king  and  the  congregation ;  and  they  laid  their 

24 hands  upon  them:  and  the  priests  killed  them,  and 
they  made  a  sin  offering  with  their  blood  upon  the 
altar,  to  make  atonement  for  all  Is'ra-el :  for  the  king 
commanded  that  the  burnt  offering  and  the  sin  offer- 

25  ing  should  be  made  for  all  Is'ra-el.  And  he  set  the 
Le'vites  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  with  cymbals,  with 
psalteries,  and  with  harps,  according  to  the  com- 
mandment of  Da'vid,  and  of  Gad  the  king's  seer,

26  And  the  Le'vites  stood  with  the  instruments  'of  Da'vid,

and  all  that  were  fpresent  with  him  bowed  themselves,  and 
worshipped. 

30  Moreover  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king  and  the  princes  com- 
manded the  Le'vites  to  sing  praise  unto  the  Lord  with  the 
words  of  Da'vid,  and  of  A'saph  the  seer.  And  they  sang  praises 
with  gladness,  and  they  bowed  their  heads  and  worshipped. 

31  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  answered  and  said.  Now  ye  have 
II  consecrated  yourselves  unto  the  Lord,  come  near  and 
bring  sacrifices  and  ''thank  offerings  into  the  house  (j^ 
the  Lord.  And  the  congregation  brought  in  sacrifi#bs 
and  thank  offerings;  and  as  many  as  were  of  a  free  heart, 
burnt  offerings. 

32  And  the  number  of  the  burnt  offerings,  which  th 
congregation  brought,  was  threescore  and  ten  bullocks,  a 
hundred  rams,  and  two  hundred  lambs:  all  these  were  for 
a  burnt  offering  to  the  Lord. 

33  And  the  consecrated  things  were  six  hundred  oxen  and 
three  thousand  sheep. 

34  But  the  priests  were  too  few,  so  that  they  could  not  flay 
all  the  burnt  offerings:  wherefore  "their  brethren  the  Le'vites 
fdid  help  them  till  the  work  was  ended,  and  until  the  other 
priests  had  sanctified  themselves : -^for  the  Le'vites  were  more 
"upright  in  heart  to  sanctify  themselves  than  the  priests. 

35  And  also  the  burnt  offerings  were  in  abundance,  with 
''the  fat  of  the  peace  offerings,  and  'the  drink  offerings  for 
every  burnt  offering.  So  the  service  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  was  set  in  order. 

36  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  rejoiced,  and  all  the  people,  that  God 
had  prepared  the  people:  for  the  thing  was  done  suddenly. 

CHAPTER    XXX. 

Hezekiah  proclaimeth  a  solemn  passover. 

AND  Hez-e-ki'ah  sent  to  all  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  and  wrote 
letters  also  to  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh,  that  they  should 
come  to  the  house  of  the  Lord  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  keep  the 
passover  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  For  the  king  had  taken  counsel,  and  his  princes,  and  all 
the  congregation  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  keep  the  passover  in  the 
second  "month. 

3  For  they  could  not  keep  it  'at  that  time  'because  the 
priests  had  not  sanctified  themselves  sufficiently,  neither  had 
the  people  gathered  themselves  together  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  And  the  thing  fpleased  the  king  and  all  the  congre- 
gation. 

5  So  they  established  a  decree  to  make  proclamation 
throughout  all  Is'ra-el,  from  Be'er-she'ba  even  to  Dan,  that 
they  should  come  to  keep  the  passover  unto  the  Lord  God 
of  Is'ra-el  at  Je-ru'sa-lem:  for  they  had  not  done  it  of  a  long 
time  in  such  sort  as  it  was  written. 

6  So  the  posts  went  with  the  letters  ffrom  the  king  and 
his  princes  throughout  all  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  and  according 
to  the  commandment  of  the  king,  saying.  Ye  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  ''turn  again  unto  the  Lord  God  of  A'bra-ham,  I'sa-ac, 
and  Is'ra-el,  and  he  will  return  to  the  remnant  of  you  that 
are  escaped  out  of  the  hand  of 'the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a. 

7  And  be  not  ye-^like  your  fathers,  and  like  your  brethren, 
which  trespassed  against  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers, 

\who  therefore  "gave  them  up  to  desolation,  as  ye  see. 


and    Na'than  the   prophet:    for   the   commandment 

26  was  of  the  Lord  by  his  prophets.  And  the  Le'- 
vites stood  with  the  instruments  of  Da'vid,  and  the 

27  priests  with  the  trumpets.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  com- 
manded to  offer  the  burnt  offering  upon  the  altar. 
And  when  the  burnt  offering  began,  the  song  of  the 
Lord  began  also,  and  the  trumpets,  together  with 

28  the  instruments  of  Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-el.  And  all 
the  congregation  worshipped,  and  the  singers  sang, 
and  the  trumpeters  sounded;  all  this  continued  until 

29  the  burnt  offering  was  finished.  And  when  they 
had  made  an  end  of  offering,  the  king  and  all  that 
were  present  with  him  bowed  themselves  and  wor- 

30  shipped.  Moreover  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king  and  the 
princes  commanded  the  Le'vites  to  sing  praises  unto 
the  Lord  with  the  words  of  Da'vid,  and  of  A'saph  the 
seer.     And  they  sang  praises  with  gladness,  and  they 

31  bowed  their  heads  and  worshipped.  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah 
answered  and  said.  Now  ye  have  'consecrated  your- 
selves unto  the  Lord,  come  near  and  bring  sacrifices 
and  thank  offerings  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
And  the  congregation  brought  in  sacrifices  and 
thank  offerings ;  and  as  many  as  were  of  a  willing 

532  heart  brought  burnt  offerings.  And  the  number  of 
the  burnt  offerings,  which  the  congregation  brought, 
was  threescore  and  ten  bullocks,  an  hundred  rams, 
and  two  hundred  lambs :  all  these  were  for  a  burnt 

33  offering  to  the  Lord.  And  the  consecrated  things 
were  six  hundred  oxen  and  three  thousand  sheep. 

34  But  the  priests  were  too  few,  so  that  they  could  not 
flay  all  the  burnt  offerings:  wherefore  their  brethren 
the  Le'vites  did  help  them,  till  the  work  was  ended, 
and  until  the  priests  had  sanctified  themselves:  for 
the  Le'vites  were  more  upright  in  heart  to  sanctify 

35  themselves  than  the  priests.  And  also  the  burnt 
offerings  were  in  abundance,  with  the  fat  of  the 
peace  offering,  and  with  the  drink  offering  for  every 
burnt  offering.    So  the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 

36  was  set  in  order.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  rejoiced,  and  all 
the  people,  because  of  that  which  God  had  prepared 
for  the  people :  for  the  thing  was  done  suddenly. 

0\)  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  sent  to  all  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  and 
wrote  letters  also  to  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh,  that 
they  should  come  to  the  house  of  the  Lord  at  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, to  keep  the  passover  unto  the  Lord,  the  God 

2  of  Is'ra-el.  For  the  king  had  taken  counsel,  and  his 
princes,  and  all  the  congregation  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to 

3  keep  the  passover  in  the  second  month.  For  they 
could  not  keep  it  at  that  time,  because  the  priests 
had  not  sanctified  themselves  in  sufficient  number, 
neither  had  the  people  gathered  themselves  together 

4  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.     And  the  thing  was  right  in  the  eyes 

5  of  the  king  and  of  all  the  congregation.  So  they 
established  a  decree  to  make  proclamation  through- 
out all  Is'ra-el,  from  Be'er-she'ba  even  to  Dan,  that 
they  should  come  to  keep  the  passover  unto  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  they  had 
not  kept  it  ^in  great  numbers  in  such  sort  as  it  is 

6  written.  So  the  posts  went  with  the  letters  from  the 
king  and  his  princes  throughoutall  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah 
and  according  to  the  commandment  of  the  king,  say- 
ing. Ye  children  of  Is'ra-el,  turn  again  unto  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  Is'ra-el,  that  he  may 
return  to  the  remnant  that  are  escaped,  of  you  out 

7  of  the  hand  of  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a.  And  be  not 
ye  like  yoiir  fathers,  and  like  your  brethren,  which 
trespassed  against  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers, 
so  that  he  gave  them  up  'to  desolation^  as  ye  see.

8  Now  fbe  ye  not  *stifFnecked,  as  your  fathers  were,  but 
tyield  yourselves  unto  the  Loed,  and  enter  into  his  sanc- 
tuary_  which  he  hath  sanctified  for  ever:  and  serve  the  Lord 
you^  God,  *tbat  the  fierceness  of  his  wrath  may  turn  away 
from  you. 

9  For  if  ye  turn  again  unto  the  Lord,  your  brethren  and 
your  children  shall  find  ^'compassion  before  them  that  lead 
them  captive,  so  that  they  shall  come  again  into  this  land : 
for  the  Lord  your  God  is  'gracious  and  merciful,  and  will 
not  turn  away  his  face  from  you,  if  ye  "return  unto  him. 

10  So  the  posts  passed  from  city  to  city  through  the 
country  of  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh,  even  unto  Zeb'u-lun : 
but  "they  laughed  them  to  scorn,  and  mocked  them. 

11  Nevertheless,  "divers  of  Ash'er  and  Ma-nas'seh  and  of 
Zeb'u-lun  humbled  themselves,  and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12  Also  in  Ju'dah  "the  hand  of  God  was  to  give  them  one 
heart  to  do  the  commandment  of  the  king  and  of  the 
princes,  «by  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

13  ^ And  there  assembled  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  much  people  to 
keep  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread  in  the  second  month,  a 
very  great  congregation.  s 

14  And  they  arose  and  took  away  the  '^altars  that  were  iS 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the  altars  for  incense  took  they  away, 
and  cast  them  into  the  brook  Kid'ron. 

15  Then  they  killed  the  passover  on  the  fourteenth  day 
of  the  second  month  :  and  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  were 
'a.shamed,  and  sanctified  themselves,  and  brought  in  the 
burnt  offerings  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  they  stood  in  f  their  place  after  their  manner,  accord- 
ing to  the  law  of  Mo'ses  the  man  of  God :  the  priests  sprink- 
led the  blood,  which  they  received  of  the  hand  of  the  Le'vites. 

17  For  there  were  many  in  the  congregation  that  were  not 
sanctified:  'therefore  the  Le'vites  had  the  charge  of  the 
killing  of  the  passovers  for  every  one  that  was  not  clean,  to 
sanctify  them  unto  the  Lord. 

18  For  a  multitude  of  the  people,  even  "many  of  E'phra-im 
and  Ma-nas'seh,  Is'sa-char  and  Zeb'u-lun,  had  not  cleansed 
themselves,  ''yet  did  they  eat  the  passover  otherwise  than  it 
was  written.  But  Hez-e-ki'ah  prayed  for  them,  saying.  The 
good  Lord  pardon  every  one 

19  That  "prepareth  his  heart  to  seek  God,  the  Lord  God 
of  his  fathers,  though  he  be  not  cleansed  according  to  the 
purification  of  the  sanctuary; 

20  And  the  Lord  hearkened  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  healed 
the  people. 

21  And  the  children  of  I.s'ra-el  that  were  fpresent  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem  kept  'the  feast  of  unleavened  bread  seven  days 
with  great  gladness:  and  the  Le'vites  and  the  priests  praised 
the  Lord  day  by  day,  singing  with  floud  instruments  unto 
the  Lord. 

22  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  spake  fcomfortably  unto  all  the  Le'- 
vites "that  taught  the  good  knowledge  of  the  Lord  :  and 
they  did  eat  throughout  the  feast  seven  days,  offering  peace 
offerings,  and  'making  confession  to  the  Lord  God  of  their 
fathers. 

23  And  the  whole  assembly  took  counsel  to  keep  'other 
seven  days :  and  they  kept  other  seven  days  with  gladness. 

24  For  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  f'did  give  to  the  -con- 
gregation a  thousand  bullocks  and  seven  thousand  sheep; 
f.nd  the  princes  gave  to  the  congregation  a  thousand  bul- 
locks and  ten  thousand  sheep:  and  a  great  number  of 
priests  'sanctified  themselves. 

26  And  all  the  congregation  of  Ju'dah,  with  the  priests 
and  the  Le'vites,  and  all  the  congregation  ■'^that  came  out 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  strangers  that  came  out  of  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  that  dwelt  in  Ju'dah,  rejoiced. 

'26  So  there  was  great  joy  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  since  the 
time  of  Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-el  <Aere 
roas  not  the  like  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


8 Now  be  ye  not  stiffnecked,  as  your  fathers  were; 
but  'yield  yourselves  unto  the  Lord,  and  enter 
into  his  sanctuary,  which  he  hath  sanctified  for 
ever,  and  serve  the  Lord  your  God,  that  his  fierce 
Ganger  may  turn  away  from  you.  For  if  ye  turn 
again  unto  the  Lord,  your  brethren  and  your 
children  shall  find  compassion  before  them  that  led 
them  captive,  and  shall  come  again  into  this  laud : 
for  the  Lord  your  God  is  gracious  and  merciful, 
and  will    not    turn   away  his   face  from  you,  if  ye 

10  return  unto  him.  So  the  posts  passed  from  city  to 
city  through  thecountryof  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh, 
even  unto  Zeb'u-lun  :  but  they  laughed  them  to  scorn. 

Hand  mocked  them.  Nevertheless  divers  of  Ash'er 
and  Ma-nas'seh  and  of  Zeb'u-lun  humbled  themselves, 

12  and  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Also  in  Ju'dah  was  the 
hand  of  God  to  give  them  one  heart,  to  do  the  com- 
mandment of  the   king  and  of  the  princes   by  the 

13  word  of  the  Lord.  And  there  assembled  at  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem much  people  to  keep  the  feast  of  unleavened 
bread  in  the  second  month,  a  very  great  congrega- 

14tion.  And  they  arose  and  took  away  the  altars  that 
were  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the  ^altars  for  incense  took 
they  away,  and  cast  them  into  the  brook  Kid'ron. 

15  Then  they  killed  the  passover  on  the  fourteenth  day 
of  the  second  month :  and  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites 
were  ashamed,  and  sanctified  themselves,  and  brought 

16  burnt  offerings  into  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And 
they  stood  in  their  place  after  their  order,  according 
to  the  law  of  Mo'ses  the  man  of  God :  the  priests 
sprinkled  the  blood,  which  they  received  of  the  hand 

17  of  the  Le'vites.  For  there  were  many  in  the  con- 
gregation that  had  not  sanctified  themselves :  there- 
fore the  Le'vites  had  the  charge  of  killing  the  pass- 
overs  for  every  one  that  was  not  clean,  to  sanctify 

18  them   unto    the    Lord.      For  a    multitude   of  the 

feople,  even  many  of  E'phra-im  and  Ma-nas'seh, 
s'sa-charand  Zeb'u-lun,  had  not  cleansed  themselves, 
yet  did  they  eat  the  passover  otherwise  than  it  is 
written.    For  Hez-e-ki'ah  had  prayed  for  them,  say- 

19  ing.  The  good  Lord  pardon  'every  one  that  setteth 
his  heart  to  seek  God,  the  Lord,  the  God  of  his 
fathers,  though  he  be  not  cleansed  according  to  the 

20  purification  of  the  sanctuary.  And  the  Lord 
hearkened  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  healed   the  people. 

21  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  were  present  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem  kept  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread  seven 
days  with  great  gladness :  and  the  Le'vites  and  the 
priests  praised  the  Lord  day  by  day,  singing  with 

22  loud  instruments  unto  the  Lord.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah 
spake  comfortably  unto  all  the  Le'vites  that  were 
Avell  skilled  in  the  service  of  the  Lord.  So  they 
did  eat  throughout  the  feast  for  the  seven  days, 
offering  sacrifices  of  peace  offerings,  and  ^making 
confession  to  the  Lord,  the   God   of  their   fathers. 

23  And  the  whole  congregation  took  counsel  to  keep 
other  seven  days :   and  they  kept  other  seven  days 

24  with  gladness.     For  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  did 

five  to  the  congregation  for  offerings  a  thousand 
ullocks  and  seven  thousand  sheep ;  and  the  princes 
gave  to  the  congregation  a  thousand  bullocks  and 
ten  thousand  sheep :   and  a  great  number  of  priests 

25  sanctified  themselves.  And  all  the  congregation  of 
Ju'dah,  with  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  all  the 
congregation  that  came  out  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  stran- 
gers that  came  out  of  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  and  that  dwelt 

26  in  Ju'dah,  rejoiced.  So  there  was  great  joy  in  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  :  for  .since  the  time  of  Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid 
king  of  Is'ra-el  there  was  not  the  like  in  Je-ru'.sa-lem.

The  people  forward  in  destroying;  idolatry. 

NOW  when  all  this  was  finished,  all  Is'ra-el  that  were 
tpresent  went  out  to  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  "brake 
the  fimages  in  pieces,  and  cut  down  the  groves ;  and  threw 
down  the  high  places  and  the  altars  out  of  all  Ju'dah  and 
Ben'ja-min,  in  E'phra-im  also  and  Ma-nas'seh,  funtil  they 
had  utterly  destroyed  them  all.  Then  all  the  children  of

own  cities. 

2  ^And  Hez-e-ki'ah  appointed  Hhe  courses  of  the  priests 
and  the  Le'vites  after  their  courses,  every  man  according  to 
his  service,  the  priests  and  Le'vites  "for  burnt  oiFerings  and 
for  peace  oiFerings,  to  minister,  and  to  give  thanks,  and  to 
praise  in  the  gates  of  the  tents  of  the  Lord. 

3  He  appointed  also  the  king's  portion  of  his  substance  for 
the  burnt  offerings,  to  wit,  for  the  morning  and  evening 
burnt  offerings,  and  the  burnt  offerings  for  the  sabbaths, 
and  for  the  new  moons,  and  for  the  set  feasts,  as  it  is  written 
in  the  ''law  of  the  Lord. 

4  Moreover  he  commanded  the  people  that  dwelt  in  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  to  give  the  'portion  of  the  priests  and  the 
Le'vites,  that  they  might  be  encouraged  in  Ahe  law  of  the 
Lord. 

5  l[And  as  soon  as  the  commandment  fcame  abroad,  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  brought  in  abundance  "the  firstfruits  of 
corn,  wine,  and  oil,  and  ||  honey,  and  of  all  the  increase 
of  the  field;  and  the  tithe  of  all  things  brought  they  in 
abundantly. 

6  And  concerning  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  that 
dwelt  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  they  also  brought  in  the  tithe 
of  oxen  and  sheep,  and  the  ''tithe  of  holy  things  which 
were  consecrated  unto  the  Lord  their  God,  and  laid  them 
fby  heaps. 

7  In  the  third  month  they  began  to  lay  the  foundation  of 
the  heaps,  and  finished  them  in  the  seventh  month. 

8  And  when  Hez-e-ki'ah  and  the  princes  came  and  saw  the 
heaps,  they  blessed  the  Lord,  and  his  people  Is'ra-el. 

9  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  questioned  with  the  priests  and  the 
Le'vites  concerning  the  heaps. 

10  And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  chief  priest  of  the  house  of  Za'dok 
answered  him,  and  said,  'Since  the  people  began  to  bring  the 
offerings  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  we  have  had  enough 
to  eat,  and  have  left  plenty :  for  the  Lord  hath  blessed  his 
people ;  and  that  which  is  left  is  this  great  store. 

11  ^Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  commanded  to  prepare  ||  chambers 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord  ;  and  they  prepared  them, 

12  And  brought  in  the  offerings  and  the  tithes  and  the 
dedicated  things  faithfully:  *over  which  Con-o-ni'ah  the 
Le'vite  was  ruler,  and  Shim'e-i  his  brother  was  the  next. 

13  And  Je-hi'el,and  Az-a-zi'ah,  and  Na'hath,and  A'sa-hel, 
and  Jer'i-moth,  and  Joz'a-bad,  and  E'li-el,  and  Is-ma-chi'ah, 
and  Ma'hath,  and  Be-na'iah,  were  overseers  funder  the 
hand  of  Con-o-ni'ah  and  Shim'e-i  his  brother,  at  the  com- 
mandment of  Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king,  and  Az-a-ri'ah  the  ruler 
of  the  house  of  God. 

14  And  Ko're  the  son  of  Im'nah  the  Le'vite,  the  porter 
toward  the  east,  was  over  the  freewill  offerings  of  God,  to 
distribute  the  oblations  of  the  Lord,  and  the  most  holy 
things. 

15  And  fnext  him  were  E'den,  and  Mi-ni'a-min,  and 
Jesh'u-a,  and  Shem-a-i'ah,  Am-a-ri'ah,  and  8hec-a-ni'ah,  in 
the  'cities  of  the  priests,  in  their  ||  set  office,  to  give  to  their 
brethren  by  courses,  as  well  to  the  great  as  to  the  small : 

16  Besides  their  genealogy  of  males,  from  three  years  old 
and    upward,  even   unto  every  one  that  entereth  into  the 


27  Then  the  priests  the  Le'vites  arose  and  blessed  the 
people :  and  their  voice  was  heard,  and  their  prayer 
came  up  to  his  holy  habitation,  even  unto  heaven. 

Oi  Now  when  all  this  was  finished,  all  Is'ra-el  that 
were  present  went  out  to  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and 
brake  in  pieces  the  'pillars,  and  hewed  down  the 
Ash'er-im,  and  brake  down  the  high  places  and  the 
altars  out  of  all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min,  in  E'phra-im 
also  and  Ma-nas'seh,  until  they  had  destroyed  them 
all.  Then  all  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  returned,  every 
2  man  to  his  possession,  into  their  own  cities.  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  appointed  the  courses  of  the  priests  and 
the  Le'vites  after  their  courses,  every  man  according 
to  his  service,  both  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  for 
burnt  offerings  and  for  peace  offerings,  to  minister, 
•  and  to  give  thanks,  and  to  praise  in  the  gates  of  the 
Scamp  of  the  Lord.  He  appointed  also  the  king's 
portion  of  his  substance  for  the  burnt  offerings,  to 
wit,  for  the  morning  and  evening  burnt  offerings, 
and  the  burnt  offerings  for  the  .sabbaths,  and  for 
the  new  moons,  and  for  the  set  fea.sts,  as  it  is  writ- 

4  ten  in  the  law  of  the  Lord.  Moreover  he  com- 
manded the  people  that  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  give 
the  portion  of  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  that  they 
might   ^give   themselves  to  the    law   of  the  Lord, 

5  And  as  soon  as  the  commandment  came  abroad, 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  gave  in  abundance  the  first- 
fruits  of  corn,  wine,  and  oil,  and  honey,  and  of  all 
the  increase  of  the  field ;  and  the  tithe  of  all  things 

6  brought  they  in  abundantly.     And  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  that  dwelt  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah, 
they  also  brought  in  the  tithe  of  oxen  and   sheep, 
and  the  tithe  of  dedicated  things  Avhich  were  conse 
crated  unto  the  Lord  their  God,  and  laid  them  by 

7  heaps.  In  the  third  month  they  began  to  lay  the 
foundation  of  the  heaps,  and  finished  them  in  the 

8  seventh  month.  And  when  Hez-e-ki'ah  and  the 
princes   came   and  saw   the  heaps,  they  blessed  the 

9  Lord,  and  his  people  Is'ra-el.  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah 
questioned    with  the  priests   and  the  Le'vites  con 

lOcerning  the  heaps.  And  Az-a-ri'ah  the  chief  priest, 
of  the  house  of  Za'dok,  answered  him  and  said. 
Since  the  people  began  to  bring  the  oblations  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  we  have  eaten  and  had 
enough,  and  have  left  plenty :  for  the  Lord  hath 
blessed  his  people;    and  that  which  is  left   is   this 

11  great  store.  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  commanded  to  pre 
pare  chambers  in  the  house  of  the  Lord;  and  they 

12  prepared  them.  And  they  brought  in  the  oblations 
and  the  tithes  and  the  dedicated  things  faithfully: 
and  over  them  Con-a-ni'ah  the  Le'vite  was  ruler,  and 

13  Shim'e-i  his  brother  was  second.  And  Je-hi'el,and  Az- 
a-ziiah,  and  Na'hath,  and  A'sa-hel,  and  Jer'i-moth,  and 
Joza-bad,  and  E'li-el,  and  Is-ma-chi'ah,  and  Ma'hath, 
and  Be-na'iah,  were  overseers  under  the  hand  of  Con-a- 
ni'ah  and  Shim'e-i  his  brother,  by  the  appointment  of 
Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king,and  Az-a-ri'ah  the  ruler  of  the  house 

14  of  God.  And  Ko're  the  son  of  Im'nah  the  Le'vite, the

CHAPTER  XXXII. 

Sennacherib  invading  Judah,  Hezekiah  fortifieth  himself. 

AFTER  "these  things,  and  the  establishment  thereof, 
Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came,  and  entered  into 
Ju'dah,  and  encamped  against  the  fenced  cities,  and  thought 
fto  win  them  for  himself. 

2  And  when  Hez-e-ki'ah  saw  that  Sen-nach'e-rib  was  come, 
and  that  fhe  was  purposed  to  fight  against  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

3  He  took  counsel  with  his  princes  and  his  mighty  men 
to  stop  the  waters  of  the  fountains  which  were  without  the 
city :  and  they  did  help  him. 

4  So  there  was  gathered  much  people  together,  who 
stopped  all  the  fountains,  and  the  brook  that  fran  through 
the  midst  of  the  land,  saying.  Why  should  the  kings  of 
As-syr'i-a  come,  and  find  much  water? 

5  And  ''he  strengthened  himself,  "and  built  up  all  the  wall 
that  was  broken,  and  raised  it  up  to  the  towers,  and  another 
wall  without,  and  repaired  ""Mirlo  in  the  city  of  Da'vid,  and 
made  ||  darts  and  shields  in  abundance. 

6  And  he  set  captains  of  war  over  the  people,  and  gath- 
ered them  together  to  him  in  the  street  of  the  gate  of  the 
city,  and  fspake  comfortably  to  them,  saying, 

7  'Be  strong  and  courageous,  -^be  not  afraid  nor  dismayed 
for  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  nor  for  all  the  multitude  that  is 
with  him :  for  'there  be  more  with  us  than  with  him. 

8  With  him  is  an  'arm  of  flesh ;  but  *with  us  is  the  Lord 
our  God  to  help  us,  and  to  fight  our  battles.  And  the 
people  trested  themselves  upon  the  words  of  Hez-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah. 

9  ^*After  this  did  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  send  his 
servants  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  (but  he  himself  laid  siege  against 
La'chish,  and  all  his  fpower  with  him,)  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  unto  all  Ju'dah  that  were  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying, 

10  'Thus  saith  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a, Whereon 
do  ye  trust,  that  ye  abide  ||  in  the  siege  in  Je-ru'sa-lem? 

11  Doth  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  persuade  you  to  give  over  your- 
selves to  die  by  famine  and  by  thirst,  saying,  ""The  Lord 
our  God  shall  deliver  us  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a  ? 

12  "Hath  not  the  same  Hez-e-ki'ah  taken  away  his  high 

t)lace8,  and  his  altars,  and  commanded  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa- 
em,  saying.  Ye  shall  worship  before  one  altar,  and  burn 
incense  upon  it? 

13  Know  ye  not  what  I  and  my  fathers  have  done  unto 
all  the  people  of  other  lands?  "were  the  gods  of  the  nations 
of  those  lands  any  ways  able  to  deliver  their  lands  out  of 
mine  hand? 


house  of  the  Lord,  'as  the  duty  of  every  day  re- 
quired, for  their  service  in  their  charges  according 

17 to  their  courses;  and  them  that  were  reckoned  by 
genealogy  of  the  priests  by  their  fathers'  houses, 
and  the  Le'vites   from  twenty  years   old    and  up- 

18 ward,  in  their  charges  by  their  courses;  ^and  them 
that  were  reckoned  by  genealogy  of  all  their  little 
ones,  their  wives,  and  their  sons,  and  their  daugh- 
ters, through  all  the  congregation :  for  in  their  'set 

19 office  they  sanctified  themselves  in  holiness:  also 
for  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  the  priests,  which  were  in 
the  fields  of  the  suburbs  of  their  cities,  in  every 
several  city,  there  were  men  that  were  expressed 
by  name,  to  give  portions  to  all  the  males  among 
the  priests,  «nd  to  all  that  were  reckoned   by  gen 

20ealogy  among  the  Le'vites.     And  thus  did  Hez-e 
ki'ah  throughout  all  Ju'dah ;  and  he  wrought  that 
which  was  good  and  right  and  ^faithful  before  the 

21  Lord  his  God.  And  in  every  work  that  he  began 
in  the  service  of  the  house  of  God,  and  in  the  law, 
and  in  the  commandments,  to  seek  his  God,  he  did 
it  with  all  his  heart,  and  prospered. 

Om     'After  these  things,  and  this  faithfulness.  Sen 
nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came,  and  entered  into 
Ju'dah,  and  encamped  against  the  fenced  cities,  and 

2  thought  Ho  win  them  for  himself.  And  when  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  saw  that  Sen-nach'e-rib  was  come,  and  that  'he 

3  was  purposed  to  fight  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  he  took 
counsel  with  his  princes  and  his  mighty  men  to 
stop  the  waters  of  the  fountains  which  were  without 

4 the  city;  and  they  helped  him.  So  there  was  gath- 
ered much  people  together,  and  they  stopped  all  the 
fountains,  and  the  brook  that  flowed  through  the 
midst  of  the  land,  saying.  Why  should  the  kings  of 

5  As-syr'i-a  come,  and  find  much  water  ?  And  he  took 
courage,  and  built  up  all  the  wall  that  was  broken 
down,  and  'raised  it  up  to  the  towers,  and  'the  other 
wall  without,  and  strengthened  Mil'lo  in  the  city  of 
Da'vid,  and  made  weapons  and  shields  in  abundance. 

6  And  he  set  captains  of  war  over  the  people,  and 
gathered  them  together  to  him  in  the  broad  place 
at  the  gate  of  the  city,  and  spake  comfortably  to 

7  them,  saying,  Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage,  be 
not  afraid  nor  dismayed  for  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  nor 
for  all  the  multitude  that  is  with  him :  for  "^here  is 

8a  greater  with  us  than  with  him:  with  him  is  an 
arm  of  flesh ;  but  with  us  is  the  Lord  our  God  to 
help  us,  and  to  fight  our  battles.  And  the  people 
rested  themselves  upon  the  words  of  Hez-e-ki'ah  king 
of  Ju'dah. 

9  After  thisdid  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  send 
his  servants  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  (now  he  was  before 
La'chish,  and  all  his  power  with  him,)  unto  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  unto  all  Ju'dah  that  were  at 

10  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying.  Thus  saith  Sen-nach'e-rib  king 
of  As-syr'i-a,  Whereon  do  ye  trust,  that  ye  abide  "the 

11  siege  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  ?  Doth  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  persuade 
you  to  give  you  over  to  die  by  famine  and  by  thirst, 
saying.  The  Lord  our  God  shall  deliver  us  out  of 

12 the  hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a?  Hath  not  the 
same  Hez-e-ki'ah  taken  away  his  high  places  and  his 
altars,  and  commanded  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  say- 
ing, Ye  shall  worship  before  one  altar,  and  upon  it 

13 shall  ye  burn  incense?  Know  ye  not  what  I  and 
my  fathers  have  done  unto  all  the  peoples  of  the 
lands?  Were  the  gods  of  the  nations  of  the  lands

14  Who  was  there  among  all  the  gods  of  those  nations 
that  my  fathers  utterly  destroyed,  that  could  deliver  his 
people  out  of  mine  hand,  that  your  God  should  be  able  to 
deliver  you  out  of  mine  hand? 

15  Now  therefore  "let  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  deceive  you,  nor 
persuade  you  on  this  manner,  neither  yet  believe  him :  for 
no  god  of  any  nation  or  kingdom  was  able  to  deliver  his 
people  out  of  mine  hand,  and  out  of  the  hand  of  my 
fathers:  how  much  less  shall  your  God  deliver  you  out  of 
mine  hand? 

16  And  his  servants  spake  yet  more  against  the  Lord 
God,  and  against  his  servant  Hez-e-ki'ah. 

17  «He  wrote  also  letters  to  rail  on  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  and  to  speak  against  him,  saying,  'As  the  gods  of 
the  nations  of  other  lands  have  not  delivered  their  people 
out  of  mine  hand,  so  shall  not  the  God  of  Hez-e-ki'ah  de- 
liver his  people  out  of  mine  hand. 

18  'Then  they  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  in  the  Jews' 
speech,  unto  the  people  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  'that  were  on  the 
wall,  to  affright  them,  and  to  trouble  them;  that  they 
might  take  the  city. 

19  And  they  spake  against  the  God  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  as 
against  the  gods  of  the  people  of  the  earth,  which  were  "the 
work  of  the  hands  of  man. 

20  ""And  for  this  cause  Hez-e-ki'^h  the  king,  and .  "the 
prophet  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz,  prayed  and  cried  to 
heaven. 

21  ^'And  the  Lord  sent  an  angel,  which  cut  off  all  the 
mighty  men  of  valour,  and  the  leaders  and  captains  in  the 
camp  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  So  he  returned  with  shame 
of  face  to  his  own  land.  And  when  he  was  come  into  the 
house  of  his  god,  they  that  came  forth  of  his  own  bowels 
fslew  him  there  with  the  sword. 

22  Thus  the  Lord  saved  Hez-e-ki'ah  and  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  the  hand  of  Sen-nach'e-rib  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  and  from  the  hand  of  all  other,  and  guided  them 
on  every  side. 

23  And  many  brought  gifts  unto  the  Lord  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  t''presents  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah :  so 
that  he  was  ''magnified  in  the  sight  of  all  nations  from 
thenceforth. 

24  ^''In  those  days  Hez-e-ki'ah  was  sick  to  the  death,  and 
prayed  unto  the  Lord  :  and  he  spake  unto  him,  and  he 
II  gave  him  a  sign. 

25  But  Hez-e-ki'ah  ''rendered  not  again  according  to  the 
benefit  done  unto  him ;  for  'his  heart  was  lifted  up :  •''there- 
fore there  was  wrath  upon  him,  and  upon  Ju'dah  and  Je- 
ru'sa-lem. 

26  "Notwithstanding,  Hez-e-ki'ah  humbled  himself  for 
fthe  pride  of  his  heart,  both  he  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  so  that  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  came  not  upon 
them  *in  the  days  of  Hez-e-ki'ah. 

27  •[[And  Hez-e-ki'ah  had  exceeding  much  riches  and 
honour:  and  he  made  himself  treasuries  for  silver,  and  for 
gold,  and  for  precious  stones,  and  for  spices,  and  for  shields, 
and  for  all  manner  of  fpleasant  jewels ; 

28  Storehouses  also  for  the  increase  of  corn,  and  wine,  and 
oil ;  and  stalls  for  all  manner  of  beasts,  and  cotes  for  flocks, 

29  Moreover  he  provided  him  cities,  and  possessions  of 
flocks  and  herds  in  abundance:  for  'God  had  given  him 
substance  very  much. 

30  *This  same  Hez-e-ki'ah  also  stopped  the  upper  water- 
course of  Gi'hon,  and  brought  it  straight  down  to  the  west 
side  of  the  city  of  Da'vid.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  prospered  in 
all  his  works. 

31  TJHowbeit,  in  the  business  of  the  fambassadors  of  the 
princes  of  Bab'y-lon,  who  'sent  unto  him  to  inquire  of  the 
wonder  that  was  done  in  the  land,  God  left  him,  to  "try 
him,  that  he  might  know  all  that  was  in  his  heart. 


14  Who  was  there  among  all  the  gods  of  those  na- 
tions which  my  &thers  'utterly  destroyed,  that  could 
deliver  his  people  out  of  mine  hand,  that  your 
God  should   be   able   to   deliver  you  out  of  mine 

15 hand?  Now  therefore  let  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  deceive 
you,  nor  persuade  you  on  this  manner,  neither  be- 
lieve ye  him :  for  no  god  of  any  nation  or  king- 
dom was  able  to  deliver  his  people  out  of  mine 
hand,  and  out  of  the  hand  of  my  fathers :  how  much 
less  shall  your  -God  deliver  you  out  of  mine  hand? 

16  And  his  servants  spake  yet  more  against  the  Lord 

17  God,  and  against  his  servant  Hez-e-ki'ah.  He  wrote 
also  ^letters,  to  rail  on  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  to  speak  against  him,  saying.  As  the  gods  of 
the  nations  of  the  lands,  which  have  not  delivered 
their  people  out  of  mine  hand,  so  shall  not  the  God 
of  Hez-e-ki'ah  deliver  his  people  out  of  mine  hand. 

18  And  they  cried  with  a  loud  voice  in  the  Jews'  "lan- 
guage unto  the  people  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  that  were  on 
the  wall,  to  affright  them,  and  to  trouble  them ;  that 

19  they  might  take  the  city.  And  they  spake  of  the 
God  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  as  of  the  gods  of  the  peoples  of 

20  the  earth,  which  are  the  work  of  men's  hands.  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  the  king,  and  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  the  son 
of  A'moz,  prayed  because  of  this,  and  cried  to  heaven. 

21  And  the  Lord  sent  an  angel,  which  cut  off  all  the 
mighty  men  of  valour,  and  the  leaders  and  captains, 
in  the  camp  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  So  he  returned 
with  shame  of  face  to  his  own  land.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  the  house  of  his  god,  they  that 
came  forth  of  his  own  bowels  *slew  him  there  Avith 

22  the  sword.  Thus  the  Lord  saved  Hez-e-ki'ah  and 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  the  hand  of  Sen- 
nach'e-rib  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  from  the  hand  of 

23  all  other,  and  guided  them  on  every  side.  And 
many  brought  gifts  unto  the  Lord  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  precious  things  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah :  so 
that  he  was  exalted  in  the  sight  of  all  nations  from 
thenceforth. 

24  *In  those  days  Hez-e-ki'ah  was  sick  even  unto 
death :    and   he    prayed    unto    the    Lord  ;    and  he 

25  spake  unto  him,  and  gave  him  a  *sign.  But  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  rendered  not  again  according  to  the  benefit 
done  unto  him ;  for  his  heart  was  lifted  up :  there- 
fore there  was  wrath  upon  him,  and  upon  Ju'dah  and 

26  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Notwithstanding  Hez-e-ki'ah  humbled 
himself  for  'the  pride  of  his  heart,  both  he  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  so  that  the  wrath  of  the 
Lord  came  not  upon  them  in  the  days  of  Hez-e-ki'ah. 

27  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  had  exceeding  much  riches  and 
honour:  and  he  provided  him  treasuries  for  silver, 
and  for  gold,  and  for  precious  stones,  and  for  spices, 
and  for  shields,  and  for  all  manner  of  goodly  ves- 

28sels;  storehouses  also  for  the  increase  of  corn  and 
wine  and  oil ;  and  stalls  for  all  manner  of  beasts, 

29  and  flocks  in  folds.  Moreover  he  provided  him 
cities,  and  possessions  of  flocks  and  herds  in  abun- 
dance :  for  God  had  given  him  very  much  substance. 

30  This  same  Hez-e-ki'ah  also  stopped  the  upper  spring 
of  the  waters  of  Gi'hon,  and  brought  them  straight 
down  on  the  west  side  of  the  city  of  Da'vid.     And 

31  Hez-e-ki'ah  prospered  in  all  his  works.  Howbeit  in 
the  business  of  the  'ambassadors  of  the  princes  of 
Bab'y-lon,  who  sent  unto  him  to  inquire  of  the  won- 
der that  was  aone  in  the  land,  God  left  him,  to  try 
him,  that  he  might  know  all  that  was  in  his  heart.

32  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  his 
f  goodness,  behold,  they  are  written  in  "the  vision  of  I-sa'iah 
the  prophet,  the  son  of  A'moz,  and  in  the  "book  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el. 

33  ^And  Hez-e-ki'ah  slept  with  his  fathers,  and  they  buried 
him  in  the  ||  chiefest  of  the  sepulchres  of  the  sons  of  Da'vid: 
and  all  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  did  him 
'honour  at  his  death.  And  Ma-nas'seh  his  son  reigned  in 
his  stead. 

CHAF-TER     XXXIII. 

Manasseh's  wicked  reign — He  seiteth  up  idolatry. 

MA-NAS'SEH  "was  twelve  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign,  and  he  reigned  fifty  and  five  years  in  Je-ru'.sa-lem: 

2  But  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Loed, 
like  unto  the  'abominations  of  the  heathen,  whom  the  Lord 
had  cast  out  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

3  ^For  the  built  again  the  high  places  which  Hez-e-ki'ah 
his  'father  had  "broken  down,  and  he  reared  up  altars  for 
Ba'al-im  and  ''made  groves,  and  worshipped  "all  the  host  of 
heaven,  and  served  them. 

4  Also  he  built  altars  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  whereof 
the  Lord  had  said,  •'^In  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  my  name  be  for  ever. 

5  And  he  built  altars  for  all  the  host  of  heaven  "in  the 
two  courts  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6  ''And  he  caused  his  children  to  pass  through  the  fire  in 
the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom:  'also  he  observed  times 
and  used  enchantments,  and  used  witchcraft,  and  *dealt  with 
a  familiar  spirit,  and  with  Avizards :  he  wrought  much  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

7  And  'he  set  a  carved  image,  the  idol  which  he  had 
made,  in  the  house  of  God,  of  which  God  had  said  to  Da'vid 
and  to  Sol'o-mon  his  son.  In  "this  house,  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
which  I  have  chosen  before  all  the  tribes  of  Is'i-a-el,  will  I 
put  my  name  for  ever: 

8  "Neither  will  I  any  more  remove  the  foot  of  Is'ra-el 
from  out  of  the  land  which  I  have  appointed  for  your 
fathers;  so  that  they  will  take  heed  to  do  all  that  I  have 
commanded  them,  according  to  the  whole  law  and  the 
statutes  and  the  ordinances  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

9  So  Ma-nas'seh  made  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem to  err,  and  to  do  worse  than  the  heathen,  whom  the 
Lord  had  destroyed  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

10  And  the  Lord  spake  to  Ma-nas'seh,  and  to  his  people : 
but  they  would  not  hearken. 

11  ^"Wherefore  the  Lord  brought  upon  them  the  cap- 
tains of  the  host  fof  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  which  took  Ma- 
nas'seh  among  the  thorns,  and  "bound  him  with  |1  fetters, 
and  carried  him  to  Bab'y-lon. 

12  And  when  he  was  in  affliction  he  besought  the  Lord 
his  God,  and  'humbled  himself  greatly  before  the  God  of 
his  fathers, 

13  And  prayed  unto  him :  and  he  was  ""entreated  of  him, 
and  heard  his  supplication,  and  brought  him  again  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem into  his  kingdom.  Then  Ma-nas'seh  'knew  that  the 
Lord  he  was  God. 

14  Now  after  this  he  built  a  wall  without  the  city  of 
Da'vid,  on  the  west  side  of  'Gi'hon,  in  the  valley,  even  to 
the  entering  in  at  the  fish  gate,  and  compassed  "about 
KO'phel,  and  raised  it  up  a  very  great  height,  and  put  cap- 
tains of  war  in  all  the  fenced  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

15  And  he  took  away  the  ''strange  gods,  and  the  idol  out 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  altars  that  he  had 
built  in  the  mount  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  cast  them  out  of  the  city. 

16  And  he  repaired  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  and  sacrificed 
thereon  peace  offerings  and  "thank  offerings,  and  com- 
manded Ju'dah  to  "erve  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

17  'Nevertheless  the  people  did  sacrifice  still  in  the  high 
places,  yet  unto  the  Lord  their  God  only. 


32  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  his  good 
deeds,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  vision  of 
I-sa'iah  the  prophet  the  son  of  A'moz  in  the  book 

33  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah 
slept  with  his  fathers  and  they  buried  him  in  the 
ascent  of  the  sepulchres  of  the  sons  of  Da'vid :  and 
all  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  did 
him  honour  at  his  death.  And  Ma-nas'seh  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 


'Ma-nas'seh  was  twelve  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and   he    reigned   fifty   and  five  years   in 

2  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  after  the  abominations  of  the 
heathen,  whom   the   Lord  cast  out  before  the  chil- 

3  dren  of  Is'ra-el.  For  he  built  again  the  high  places 
which  Hez-e-ki'ah  his  father  had  broken  down ;  and 
he  reared  up  altars  for  the  Ba'al-im,  and  made  Ash'- 
er-oth,  and  worshipped  all  the  host  of  heaven,  and 

4  served  them.  And  he  built  altars  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  whereof  the  Lord  said,  In  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall 

5  my  name  be  for  ever.  And  he  built  altars  for  all  the 
host  of  heaven  in  the  two  courts  of  the  house  of  the 

6  Lord.  He  also  made  his  children  to  pass  through 
the  fire  in  the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom :  and  he 
practised  augury,  and  used  enchantments,  and  prac- 
tised sorcery,  and  dealt  with  them  that  had  familiar 
spirits,  and  with  wizards:  he  wrought  much  evil 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke  him  to  anger. 

7  And  he  set  the  graven  image  of  the  idol,  which  he 
had  made,  in  the  house  of  God,  of  which  God  said 
to  Da'vid,  and  to  Sol'o-mon  his  son,  In  this  house, 
and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  I  have  chosen  out  of  all  the 

8  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  will  I  put  my  name  for  ever:  neither 
will  I  any  more  remove  the  foot  of  Is'ra-el  from  off 
the  land  which  I  have  appointed  for  your  fathers ; 
if  only  they  will  observe  to  do  all  that  I  have  com 
manded  them,  even  all  the  law  and  the  statutes  and 

9  the  ordinances  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses.     And  Ma- 
nas'seh  made  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa 
lem  to  err,  so  that  they  did  evil  more  than  did  the 
nations,  whom  the  Lord  destroyed  before  the  chil- 

10  dren  of  Is'ra-el.   And  the  Lord  spake  to  Ma-nas'seh, 
Hand  to  his  people;  but  they  gave  no  heed.     Where- 
fore the  Lord  brought  upon  them  the  captains  of 
the  host  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  which  took  Ma-nas' 
seh  ^in  chains,  and  bound  him  with  fetters,  and  car- 

12  ried  him  to  Bab'y-lon.  And  when  he  was  in  distress, 
he  besought  the  Lord  his  God,  and  humbled  him- 

13  self  greatly  before  the  God  of  his  fathers.  And  he 
prayed  unto  him ;  and  he  was  intreated  of  him,  and 
heard  his  supplication,  and  brought  him  again  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem  into  his  kingdom.  Then  Ma-nas'seh 
knew  that  the  Lord  he  was  God. 

14  Now  after  this  he  built  an  outer  wall  to  the  city 
of  Da'vid,  on  the  west  side  of  Gi'hon,  in  the  valley, 
even  to  the  entering  in  at  the  fish  gate;  and  he 
compassed  about  O'phel,  and  raised  it  up  a  very 
great  height :  and  he  put  ^valiant  captains  in  all  the 

15  fenced  cities  of  Ju'dah.  And  he  took  away  the 
strange  gods,  and  the  idol  out  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  all  the  altars  that  he  had  built  in  the 
mount  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

16  and  cast  them  out  of  the  city.  And  he  ^built  up 
the  altar  of  the  Lord  and  offered  thereon  sacrifices 
of  peace  offerings  and  of  thanksgiving,  and  com- 
manded Ju'dah  to  serve  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'- 

17  ra-el.  Nevertheless  the  people  did  sacrifice  still  in 
the  high  places,  but  only  unto  the  Lord  their  God.

18  ^Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Ma-nas'seh,  and  his 
prayer  unto  his  God,  and  the  words  of  "the  seers  that 
spake  to  him  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  be- 
hold, they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el. 

19  His  prayer,  also,  and  how  God  was  entreated  of  him, 
and  all  his  sins,  and  his  trespass,  and  the  places  wherein  he 
built  high  places,  and  set  up  groves  and  graven  images,  be- 
fore he  was  humbled :  behold,  they  are  written  among  the 
sayings  of  ||the  seers. 

20  1[''So  Ma-nas'seh  slept  with  his  fiithers,  and  they  buried 
him  in  his  own  house :  and  A'mon  his  son  reigned  in  his 
stead. 

21  ^"A'mon  was  two  and  twenty  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  reigned  two  years  in  Je-ru'salem. 

22  But  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
as  did  Ma-nas'seh  his  father :  for  A'mon  sacrificed  unto  all 
the  carved  images  which  Ma-nas'seh  his  father  had  made, 
and  served  them ; 

23  And  humbled  not  himself  before  the  Lord,  ''as  Ma- 
nas'seh  his  father  had  humbled  himself;  but  A'mon  ftres- 
passed  more  and  more. 

24  'And  his  servants  conspired  against  him,  and  slew  him 
in  his  own  house. 

25  ^But  the  people  of  the  land  slew  all  them  that  had 
conspired  against  king  A'mon ;  and  the  people  of  the  land 
made  Jo-si'ah  his  son  king  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER    XXXIV. 

Josiah*s  good  reign — He  destroyeth  idolatry. 

JO-SI'AH  "was  eight  years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  one  and  thirty  years. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  walked  in  the  ways  of  Da'vid  his  father,  and  de- 
clined neither  to  the  right  hand,  nor  to  the  left. 

3  ^For  in  the  eighth  year  of  his  reign,  while  he  was  yet 
young,  he  began  to  'seek  after  the  God  of  Da'vid  his  father: 
and  in  the  twelfth  year  he  began  "to  purge  Ju'dah  and  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  ■'from  the  high  places,  and  the  groves,  and  the 
carved  images,  and  the  molten  images. 

4  'And  they  brake  down  the  altars  of  Ba'al-im  in  his  pres- 
ence ;  and  the  |]  images  that  were  on  high  above  them,  he 
cut  down ;  and  the  groves,  and  the  carved  images,  and  the 
molten  images,  he  brake  in  pieces,  and  made  dust  of  them, 
■^and  strewed  it  upon  the  fgraves  of  them  that  had  sacri- 
ficed unto  them. 

5  And  he  "burnt  the  bones  of  the  priests  upon  their  altars, 
and  cleansed  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6  And  so  did  he  in  the  cities  of  Ma-nas'seh,  and  E'phra-im, 
and  Sim'e-on,  even  unto  Naph'ta-li,  with  their  ||  mattocks 
round  about. 

7  And  when  he  had  broken  down  the  altars  and  the 
groves,  and  had  ''beaten  the  graven  images  finto  powder, 
and  cut  down  all  the  idols  throughout  all  the  land  of  Is'ra-el, 
he  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

8  ^Now  'in  the  eighteenth  year  of  his  reign,  when  he 
had  purged  the  land,  and  the  house,  he  sent  Sha'phan  the 
son  of  Az-a-li'ah,and  Ma-a-se'iah  the  governor  of  the  city, 
and  Jo'ah  the  son  of  Jo'a-haz  the  recorder,  to  repair  the 
house  of  the  Lord  his  God. 

9  And  when  they  came  to  Hil-ki'ah  the  high  priest,  they 
delivered  *the  money  that  was  brought  into  the  house  of 
God,  which  the  Le'vites  that  kept  the  doors  had  gathered  of 
the  hand  of  Ma-nas'seh  and  E'phra'im,  and  of  all  the  rem- 
nant of  Is'ra-el,  and  of  all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja^min ;  and  they 
returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10  And  they  put  it  in  the  hand  of  the  workmen  that  had 
the  oversight  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  they  gave  it 
to  the  workmen  that  wrought  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  to 
repair  and  amend  the  house : 


18  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Ma-nas'seh,  and  his  prayer 
unto  his  God,  and  the  words  of  the  seers  that  spake 
to  him  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
behold,  they  are  written  among  the  acts  of  the  kings 

19  of  Is'ra-el.  His  prayer  also,  and  how  God  was  in- 
treated  of  him,  and  all  his  sin  and  his  trespass,  and 
the  places  wherein  he  built  high  places,  and  set  up 
the  Ash'er-im  and  the  graven  images,  before  he 
humbled   himself:    behold,  they  are  written  in  the 

20 history  of  'Hoz'a-i.  So  Ma-nas'seh  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  they  buried  him  in  his  own  house :  and 
A'mon  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

21  ^A'mon  was  twenty  and  two  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  two  years  in  Je-ru' 

22  sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord,  as  did  Ma-nas'seh  his  father:  and  A'mon 
sacrificed  unto  all  the  graven  images  which  Ma-nas' 

23  seh  his  father  had  made,  and  served  them.  And  he 
humbled  not  himself  before  the  Lord,  as  Ma-nas'seh 
his  father  had  humbled  himself;  but  this  same  A'mon 

24 'trespassed  more  and  more.  And  his  servants  con- 
spired against  him,  and  put  him  to  death  in  his  own 

25  house.  But  the  people  of  the  land  slew  all  them 
that  had  conspired  against  king  A'mon ;  and  the 
people  of  the  land  made  Jo-si'ah  his  son  king  in 
his  stead. 

O^  ^Jo-rsi'ah  was  eight  years  old  when  he  began  to 
reign;  and  he  reigned  thirty  and  one  years  in  Je-ru' 

2  sa-lem.  And  he  did  that  which  was  right  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord,  and  walked  in  the  ways  of  Da'vid 
his  father,  and  turned  not  aside  to  the  right  hand  or 

3  to  the  left.  For  in  the  eighth  year  of  his  reign, 
while  he  was  yet  young,  he  began  to  seek  after  the 
God  of  Da'vid  his  father :  and  in  the  twelfth  year  he 
began  to  purge  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  the  high 
places,  and   the  Ash'er-im,  and  the  graven  images, 

4  and  the  molten  images.  And  they  brake  down  the 
altars  of  the  Ba'al-im  in  his  presence ;  and  the  sun 
images,  that  were  on  high  above  them,  he  hewed 
down;  and  the  Ash'er-im,  and  the  graven  images, 
and  the  molten  images,  he  brake  in  pieces,  and 
made  dust  of  them,  and  strowed  it  upon  the  graves 

5  of  them  that  had  sacrificed  unto  them.  And  he  burnt 
the   bones    of  the    priests  upon    their    altars,  and 

6  purged  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  so  did  he  in  the 
cities  of  Ma-nas'seh  and  E'phra-im  and  Sim'e-on,  even 

7  unto  Kaph'ta-li,  'in  their  ruins  round  about.  And  he 
brake  down  the  altars,  and  beat  the  Ash'er-im  and 
the  graven  images  into  powder,  and  hewed  down  all 
the  sun-images  throughout  all  the  land  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

8  *Now  in  the  eighteenth  year  of  his  reign,  when  he 
had  purged  the  land,  and  the  house,  he  sent  Sha'phan 
the  son  of  Az-a-li'ah,  and  Ma-a-se'iah  the  governor  of 
the  city,  and  Jo'ah  the  son  of  Jo'a-haz  the  ^recorder, 

9  to  repair  the  house  of  the  Lord  his  God.  And  they 
came  to  Hil-ki'ah  the  high  priest,  and  delivered  the 
money  that  was  brought  into  the  house  of  God,  which 
the  Le'vites,  the  keepers  of  the  'door,  had  gathered 
of  the  hand  of  Ma-nas'seh  and  E'phra-im,  and  of  all 
the  remnant  of  Is'ra-el,  and  of  all  Ju'dah  and  Ben'- 

lOja-min,  'and  of  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
they  delivered  it  into  the  hand  of  the  workmen 
that  had  the  oversight  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  '"the  workmen  that  wrought  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord  gave  it  to  amend  and  repair  the  house;

11  Even  to  the  artificers  and  builders  gave  they  it,  to  buy 
hewn  stone,  and  timber  for  couplings,  and  ||to  floor  the 
houses  which  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  had  destroyed. 

12  And  the  men  did  the  work  faithfully :  and  the  over- 
seers of  them  were  Ja'hath  and  0-ba-di'ah,  the  Le'vites,  of 
the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri ;  and  Zech-a-ri'ah  and  Me-shul'lam,  of  the 
sons  of  the  Ko'hath-ites,  to  set  it  forward ;  and  other  of  the 
Le'vites,  all  that  could  skill  of  instruments  of  music. 

13  Also  they  were  over  the  bearers  of  burdens,  and  were 
overseers  of  all  that  wrought  the  work  in  any  manner  of 
service :  'and  of  the  Le'vites  there  were  scribes,  and  officers, 
and  porters. 

14  ^And  when  they  brought  out  the  money  that  was 
brought  into  the  house  of  the  Lokd,  Hil-ki'ah  the  priest 
"found  a  book  of  the  law  of  the  Lord  given  by  fMo'ses. 

15  And  Hil-ki'ah  answered  and  said  to  Sha'phan  the  scribe, 
I  have  found  the  book  of  the  law  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 
And  Hil-ki'ah  delivered  the  book  to  Sha'phan. 

16  And  Sha'phan  carried  the  book  to  the  king,>  and 
brought  the  king  word  back  again,  saying.  All  that  was  com- 
mitted fto  thy  servants,  they  do  it. 

17  And  they  have  fgathered  together  the  money  that  was 
found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  have  delivered  it  into 
the  hand  of  the  overseers,  and  to  the  hand  of  the  workmen. 

18  Then  Sha'phan  the  scribe  told  the  king,  saying,  Hil- 
ki'ah  the  priest  hath  given  me  a  book.  And  Sha'phan  read 
fit  before  the  king. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king  had  heard  the 
words  of  the  law,  that  he  rent  his  clothes. 

20  And  the  king  commanded  Hil-ki'ah,  and  A-hi'kam  the 
son  of  Sha'phan,  and  ||  Ab'don  the  son  of  Mi'cah,  and  Sha'- 
phan the  scribe,  and  A-sa-i'ah  a  servant  of  the  king's,  saying, 

21  Go,  inquire  of  the  Lord  for  me,  and  for  them  that  are 
left  in  Is'ra-el  and  in  Ju'dah,  concerning  the  words  of  the 
book  that  is  found:  for  great  is  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
that  is  poured  out  upon  us,  because  our  fathers  have  not 
kept  the  word  of  the  Lord,  to  do  after  all  that  is  written  in 
this  book. 

22  And  Hil-ki'ah,  and  they  that  the  king  had  appointed, 
went  to  Hul'dah  the  prophetess,  the  wife  of  Shal'lum  the 
son  of  "Tik'vath,  the  son  of  ||Has'rah,  keeper  of  the  fward- 
robe ;  (now  she  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  1 1  in  the  college :)  and 
they  spake  to  her  to  that  effect. 

23  ^And  she  answered  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Tell  ye  the  man  that  sent  you  to  me, 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon 
this  place,  and  upon  the  inhabitants  thereof,  even  all  the 
curses  that  are  written  in  the  book  which  they  have  read 
before  the  king  of  Ju'dah: 

25  Because  they  have  forsaken  me,  and  have  burned  in- 
cense unto  other  gods,  that  they  might  provoke  me  to 
anger  with  all  the  works  of  their  hands;  therefore  my 
wrath  shall  be  poured  out  upon  this  place,  and  shall  not  be 
quenched. 

26  And  as  for  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  who  sent  you  to  in- 
quire of  the  Lord,  so  shall  ye  say  unto  him,  Thus  saith 
tne  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  concerning  the  words  which  thou 
hast  heard ; 

27  Because  thine  heart  was  tender,  and  thou  didst  hum- 
ble thyself  before  God  when  thou  heardest  his  words 
against  this  place,  and  against  the  inhabitants  thereof,  and 
humbledst  thyself  before  me,  and  didst  rend  thy  clothes, 
and  weep  before  me;  1  have  even  heard  tliee  also,  saith  the 
Lord. 

28  Behold,  I  will  gather  thee  to  thy  fathers,  and  thou 
shalt  be  gathered  to  thy  grave  in  peace,  neither  shall  thine 
eyes  see  all  the  evil  that  I  will  bring  upon  this  place,  and 
upon  the  inhabitants  of  the  same.  So  they  brought  the 
king  word  again. 


11  even  to  the  carpenters  and  to  the  builders  gave  they  it, 
to  buy  hewn  stone,  and  timber  for  couplings,  and  to 
make  beams  for  the  houses  which  the  kings  of  Ju'-dah 

12  had  destroyed.  And  the  men  did  the  work  faithfully : 
and  the  overseers  of  them  were  Ja'hath  and  O-ba- 
di'ah,  the  Le'vites,  of  the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri;  and  Zech- 
a-ri'ah  and  Me-shul'lam,  of  the  sons  of  the  Ko'hath- 
ites,  'to  set  it  forward:  and  other  of  the  Le'vites,  all 

13  that  could  skill  of  instruments  of  music.  Also  they 
were  over  the  bearers  of  burdens,  and  set  forward  all 
that  did  the  work  in  every  manner  of  service :  and  of 
the  Le'vites  there  were  scribes,  and  officers,  and  por 

14ters.  And  when  they  brought  out  the  money  that 
was  brought  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  Hil-ki'ah  the 
priest  found  the  book  of  the  law  of  the  Lord  ^given 

1 5  by  Mo'ses.  And  Hil-ki'ah  answered  and  said  to  Sha'- 
phan the  scribe,  I  have  found  the  book  of  the  law 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord.     And  Hil-ki'ah  delivered 

16  the  book  to  Sha'phan.  And  Sha'phan  carried  the 
book  to  the  king,  and  moreover  brought  the  king 
word  again,  saying.  All  that  was  committed  to  thy 

17  servants,  they  do  it.  And  they  have  ^emptied  out 
the  money  that  was  found  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  have  delivered  it  into  the  hand  of  the  overseers, 

18  and  into  the  hand  of  the  workmen.  And  Sha'phan 
the  scribe  told  the  king,  saying,  Hil-ki'ah  the  priest 
hath  delivered  me  a  book.    And  Sha'phan  read  therein 

19  before  the  king.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king 
had   heard  the  words   of  the   law,  that  he  rent  his 

20 clothes.  And  the  king  commanded  Hil-ki'ah,  and 
A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  and  ^Ab'don  the  son 
of  Mi'cah,  and  Sha'phan  the  scribe,  and  A-sa-i'ah  the 

21  king's  servant,  saying,  Go  ye,  inquire  of  the  Lord 
for  me,  and  for  them  that  are  left  in  Is'ra-el  and  in 
Ju'dah,  concerning  the  words  of  the  book  that  is 
found :  for  great  is  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  that  is 
poured  out  upon  us,  because  our  fathers  have  not 
kept  the  word  of  the  Lord,  to  do  according  unto  all 

22  that  is  written  in  this  book.  So  Hil-ki'ah,  and  they 
whom  the  king  had  commanded,  went  to  Hul'dah  the 

•  prophetess,  the  wife  of  Shal'lum  the  son  of 'Tok'hath, 
the  son  of  ^Has'rah,  keeper  of  the  wardrobe;  (now 
she  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  the  ^second  quarter ;)  and 

23  they  spake  to  her  to  that  efiect.  And  she  said  unto 
them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Tell 

24  ye  the  man  that  sent  you  unto  me.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon  this  place,  and 
upon  the  inhabitants  thereof,  even  all  the  curses  that 
are  written  in  the  book  which  they  have  read  before 

25 the  king  of  Ju'dah:  because  they  have  forsaken  me, 
and  have  burned  incense  unto  other  gods,  that  tliey 
might  provoke  me  to  anger  with  all  the  works  of 
their  hands ;  therefore  is  my  wrath  poured  out  upon 

26  this  place,  and  it  shall  not  be  quenched.  But  unto 
the  king  of  Ju'dah,  who  sent  you  to  inquire  of  the 
Lord, thus  shall  ye  say  to  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el :     As  touching  the  words  which 

27  thou  hast  heard,  because  thine  heart  was  tender,  and 
thou  didst  humble  thyself  before  God,  when  thou 
heardest  his  words  against  this  place,  and  against 
the  inhabitants  thereof",  and  hast  humbled  thyself 
before  me,  and  hast  rent  thy  clothes,  and  wept  be- 
fore me ;  I  also   have  heard   thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

28  Behold,  I  will  gather  thee  to  thy  fathers,  and  thou 
shalt  be  gathered  to  thy  grave  in  peace,  neither  shall 
thine  eyes  see  all  the  evil  that  I  will  bring  upon  this 
place,  and  upon  the  inhabitants  thereof.  And  they 
brought  the  king  word  again.

29  ^°Then  the  king  sent  and  gathered  together  all  the 
elders  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

30  And  the  king  went  up  into  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  and  all  the  people, 
tgreat  and  small :  and  he  read  in  their  ears  all  the  words 
of  the  book  of  the  covenant  that  was  found  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

31  And  the  king  stood  in  his  "place,  and  made  a  cove- 
nant before  the  Lord,  to  walk  after  the  Lord,  and  to  keep 
his  commandments,  and  his  testimonies,  and  his  statutes, 
with  all  his  heart,  and  with  all  his  soul,  to  perform  the 
words  of  the  covenant  which  are  written  in  this  book. 

32  And  he  caused  all  that  were  fpresent  in  Je-ru'sa-lem 
and  Ben'ja-min  to  stand  to  it.  And  the  inhabitants  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  did  according  to  the  covenant  of  God,  the  God  of 
their  fathers. 

33  And  Jo-si'ah  took  away  all  the  'abominations  out  of  all 
the  countries  that  pertained  to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
made  all  that  were  present  in  Is'ra-el  to  serve,  even  to  serve 
the  Lord  their  God.  ""And  all  his  days  they  departed  not 
ffrom  following  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers. 

CHAPTER    XXXV. 

Josiah  keepeth  a  most  solemn  passover, 

MOREOVER,  "Jo-si'ah  kept  a  passover  unto  the  Lord  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  they  killed  the  passover  on  the  ''four- 
teenth day  of  the  first  month. 

2  And  he  set  the  priests  in  their  "charges,  and  ''encour- 
aged them  to  the  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

3  And  said  unto  the  Le'vites *that  taught allls'ra-el,  which 
were  "holy  unto  the  Lord,  ■^Put  the  holy  ark  "in  the  house 
which  Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-el  did  build ; 
''i<  sliall  not  he  a  burden  upon  your  shoulders :  serve  now 
the  Lord  your  God,  and  his  people  Is'ra-el, 

4  And  prepare  yourselves  by  the  'houses  of  your  fathers 
after  your  courses,  according  to  the  ^writing  of  Da'vid 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  according  to  the  writing  of  Sol'o-mon 
'his  son : 

5  And  "stand  in  the  holy  place  according  to  the  di- 
visions of  fthe  families  of  the  fathers  of  your  brethren 
fthe  people,  and  ajter  the  division  of  the  families  of  the 
Le'vites. 

6  So  kill  the  passover,  and  "sanctify  yourselves,  and  pre- 
pare your  brethren,  that  they  may  do  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses. 

7  And  Jo-si'ah  f'gave  to  the  people,  of  the  flock,  lambs  and 
kids,  all  for  the  pas.sover  oiferings,  for  all  that  were  present, 
to  the  number  of  thirty  thousand,  and  three  thousand  bul- 
locks: these  were  of  the  king's  substance. 

8  And  his  princes  fgave  willingly  unto  the  people,  to  the 
priests,  and  to  the  Le'vites :  Hil-ki'ah  and  Zech-a-ri'ah  and  Je- 
hi'el,  rulers  of  the  house  of  God,  gave  unto  the  priests  for 
the  passover  offerings  two  thousand  and  six  hundred  small 
cattle,  and  three  hundred  oxen. 

9  Con-o-ni'ah  also,  and  Shera-a-i'ah  and  Ne-than'e-el,  his 
brethren,  and  Hash-a-bi'ah  and  Je-i'el  and  Joz'a-bad,  chief  of 
the  Le'vites,  fgave  unto  the  Le'vites  for  passover  offerings 
five  thousand  small  cattle,  and  five  hundred  oxen. 

10  So  the  service  was  prepared,  and  the  priests  "stood  in 
their  place,  and  the  Le'vites  in  their  courses,  according  to  the 
king's  commandment. 

11  And  they  killed  the  passover,  and  the  priests  'sprinkled 
the  blood  from  their  hands,  and  the  Le'vites  ''flayed  them. 

12  And  they  removed  the  burnt  offerings,  that  they  might 
give  according  to  the  divi-sions  of  the  families  of  the  people, 
to  offer  unto  the  Lord,  as  it  is  written  'in  the  book  of  Mo'ses. 
And  so  did  they  with  the  oxen. 

13  And  they  'roasted  the  passover  with  fire,  according 
to  the  ordinance:    but  the   other  holy   offerings  "sod  they

29  'Then  the  king  sent  and  gathered  together  all  the 

30  elders  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  the  king  went 
up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  men  of 
Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the 
priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  and  all  the  people,  both 
great  and  small:  and  he  read  in  their  ears  all  the 
words  of  the  book  of  the  covenant  that  was  found 

31  in  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  the  king  stood  in 
his  place,  and  made  a  covenant  before  the  Lord,  to 
walk  after  the  Lord,  and  to  keep  his  commandments, 
and  his  testimonies,  and  his  statutes,  with  all  his 
heart,  and  with  all  his  soul,  to  perform  the  words  of 

32  the  covenant  that  were  written  in  this  book.  And 
he  caused  all  that  were  found  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  Ben'- 
ja-min to  stand  to  it.  And  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem did  according  to  the   covenant  of  God,  the 

33  God  of  their  fathers.  And  Jo-si'ah  took  away  all  the 
abominations  out  of  all  the  countries  that  pertained 
to  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  made  all  that  were  found 
in  Is'ra-el  to  serve,  even  to  serve  the  Lord  their  God. 
All  his  days  they  departed  not  from  following  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers. 

OO  And  Jo-si'ah  kept  a  passover  unto  the  Lord  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem :   and  they  killed  the  passover  on  the 

2  fourteenth  day  of  the  first  month.  And  he  set  the 
priests  in  their  charges,  and  encouraged  them  to  the 

3  service  of  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  he  said  unto 
the  Le'vites  that  taught  all  Is'ra-el,  which  were  holy 
unto  the  Lord,  Put  the  holy  ark  in  the  house  which 
Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-el  did  build  ; 
there  shall  no  more  be  a  burden  upon  your  shoulders : 
now  serve  the  Lord  your  God,  and  his  people  Is'ra-el. 

4  And  prepare  yourselves  after  your  fathers'  houses 
by  your  courses,  according  to  the  writing  of  Da'vid 
king  of  Is'ra-el,  and  according  to  the  writing  of  Sol'o- 

5  mon  his  son.     And  stand  in  the  holy  place  according 
to  the  divisions  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  your  breth 
ren  the  children  of  the  people,  ^and  let  there  be  for 
each  a  portion  of  a  fathers'  house  of  the  Le'vites. 

6  And  kill  the  passover  and  sanctify  your.selves,  and 
prepare  for  your  brethren,  to   do   according   to   the 

7  word  of  the  Lord  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses.  And 
Jo-si'ah  'gave  to  the  children  of  the  people,  of  the 
flock,  lambs  and  kids,  all  of  them  for  the  passover 
offerings,  unto  all  that  were  present,  to  the  number 
of  thirty  thousand,  and   three   thousand   bullocks: 

8  these  were  of  the  king's  substance.  And  his  princes 
gave  ^for  a  freewill  offering  unto  the  people,  to  the 
priests,  and  to  the  Le'vites.  Hil-ki'ah  and  Zech-a-ri'ah 
and  Je-hi'el,  the  rulers  of  the  house  of  God,  gave  unto 
the  priests  for  the  passover  offerings  two  thousand  and 
six  hundred   small  cattle,  and  three  hundred  oxen. 

9Con-a-ni'ah  also,  and  Shem-a-i'ah  and  Neth'a-nei,  his 
brethren,  and  Hash-a-bi'ah  and  Je-i'el  and  Joz'a-bad, 
the  chiefs  of  the  Le'vites,  gave  unto  the  Le'vites  for 
the  passover  offerings  five  thousand  small  cattle,  and 

10  five  hundred  oxen.  So  the  service  was  prepared,  and 
the  priests  stood  in  their  place,  and  the  Le'vites  by 
their  courses,  according  to  the  king's  commandment. 

11  And  they  killed  the  passover,  and  the  priests  sprink- 
led the  blood  which  they  received  of  their  hand,  and 

12  the  Le'vites  flayed  them.  And  they  removed  the  burnt 
offerings,  that  they  might  give  them  according  to 
the  divisions  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  the  children  of 
the  people,  to  offer  unto  the  Lord,  as  it  is  written  in 
the  book  of  Mo'ses.     And  so  did  they  with  the  oxen.

in  pots,  and  in  caldrons,  and  in  pans,  and  fdivided  them 
speedily  among  all  the  people. 

14  And  afterward  they  made  ready  for  themselves,  and  for 
the  priests :  because  the  priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  were 
busied  in  offering  of  burnt  offerings  and  the  fat  until  night; 
therefore  the  Le'vites  prepared  for  themselves,  and  for  the 
priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron. 

15  And  the  singers  of  the  sons  of  A'saph  were  in  their 
tplace,  according  to  the  "'commandment  of  Da'vid,  and 
A'saph,  and  He' man,  and  Jed'u-thun  the  king's  seer ;  and 
the  porters  "waited  at  every  gate;  they  might  not  depart 
from  their  service;  for  their  brethren  the  Le'vites  pre- 
pared for  them. 

16  So  all  the  service  of  the  LoED  was  prepared  the  same 
day,  to  keep  the  passover,  and  to  offer  burnt  offerings  upon 
the  altar  of  the  Lord  according  to  the  commandment  of 
king  Jo-si'ah. 

17  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  were  fpresent  kept  the 
passover  at  that  time,  and  the  feast  of  'unleavened  bread 
seven  days. 

18  And  "there  was  no  passover  like  to  that  kept  in  Is'ra-el 
from  the  days  of  Sam'u-el  the  prophet ;  neither  did  all  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el  keep  such  a  passover  as  Jo-si'ah  kept,  and  the 
priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  and  all  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el  that  were 
present,  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

19  In  the  eighteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Jo-si'ah  was  this 
passover  kept. 

20  ^''Afterall  this,  when  Jo-si'ah  had  prepared  the  ftemple, 
Ne'cho  king  of  E'gypt  came  up  to  fight  against  Char'che-mish 
by  Eu-phra'tes :  and  Jo-si'ah  went  out  against  him. 

21  But  he  sent  ambassadors  to  him,  saying.  What  have  I 
tO'  do  with  thee,  thou  king  of  Ju'dah  ?  I  come  not  against 
thee  this  day,  but  against  fthe  house  wherewith  I  have  war: 
for  God  commanded  me  to  make  haste:  forbear  thee  from 
meddling  with  God,  who  is  with  me,  that  he  destroy  thee  not. 

22  Nevertheless  Jo-si'ah  would  not  turn  his  face  from  him, 
but  "disguised  himself,  that  he  might  fight  with  him,  and 
hearkened  not  unto  the  words  of  Ne'cho  from  the  mouth  of 
God,  and  came  to  fight  in  the  valley  of  Me-gid'do. 

23  And  the  archers  shot  at  king  Jo-si'ah ;  and  the  king  said 
to  his  servants.  Have  me  away ;  for  I  am  sore  fwounded.   , 

24  'His  servants  therefore  took  him  out  of  that  chariot, 
and  put  him  in  the  second  chariot  that  he  had;  and  they 
brought  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  he  died,  and  was  buried  ||  in 
one  of  the  sepulchres  of  his  fathers.  And  ■'^all  Ju'dah  and 
Je-ru'sa-lem  mourned  for  Jo-si'ah. 

25  ^And  Jer-e-mi'ah  "lamented  for  Jo-si'ah:  and  *all  the 
singing  menand  the  singing  women  spake  of  Jo-si'ah  in  their 
lamentations  to  this  day,  *and  made  them  an  ordinance  in 
Is'ra-el :  and,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  lamentations. 

26  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo-si'ah,  and  his  fgood- 
ness,  according  to  that  which  was  written  in  the  law  of 
the  LoKD, 

27  And  his  deeds,  first  and  last,  behold  they  are  written 
in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah. 

CHAPTER   XXXVI. 

Jehoahaz  succeeding^.is  deposed  by  Pharaoh. 

rnHEN  "the  people  of  theland  took  Je-ho'a-haz  the  son  of  Jo- 
J-    si'ah  and  made  him  king  in  his  father's  stead  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  Je-ho'a-haz  was  twenty  and  three  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  three  months  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  the  king  of  E'gypt  fput  him  down  at  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  fcondemned  the  land  in  a  hundred  talents  of  silver 
and  a  talent  of  gold. 

4  And  the  king  of  E'gypfc  made  E-li'a-kira  his  brother 
king  over  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  turned  his  name  to 
Je-hoi'a-kim.  And  Ne'cho  took  Je-ho'a-haz  his  brother, 
and  carried  him  to  E'gypt. 

5  ^° Je-hoi'a-kim  was  twenty  and  five  years  old  when  h« 


in  pots,  and  in  caldrons,  and  in  pans,    and  carried 

14  them  quickly  to  all  the  children  of  the  people.  And 
afterward  they  prepared  for  themselves,  and  for  the 
priests;  because  the  priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron  were 
busied  in  offering  the  burnt  offerings  and  the  fat 
until  night :  therefore  the  Le'vites  prepared  for  them- 

15  selves,  and  for  the  priests  the  sons  of  Aa'ron.  And 
the  singers  the  sons  of  A'saph  were  in  their  place, 
according  to  the  commandment  of  Da'vid,  and  A'saph, 
and  He'man,  and  Jed'u-thun  the  king's  seer;  and 
the  porters  were  at  every  gate:  they  needed  not 
to  depart  from  their  service,  for  their  brethren  the 

16  Le'vites  prepared  for  them.  So  all  the  service  of 
the  LoED  was  prepared  the  same  day,  to  keep  the 
passover,  and  to  offer  burnt  offerings  upon  the  altar 
of  the  Lord,   according    to  the  commandment  of 

17  king  Jo-si'ah.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  that  were 
present    kept  the    passover  at  that  time,   and  the 

18  feast  of  unleavened  bread  seven  days.  And  there 
was  no  passover  like  to  that  kept  in  Is'ra-el  from  the 
days  of  Sam'u-el  the  prophet;  neither  did  any  of  the 
kings  of  Is'ra-el  keep  such  a  passover  as  Jo-si'ah  kept, 
and  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  and  all  Ju'dah  and 
Is'ra-el  that  were  present,  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 

19sa-lem.  In  the  eighteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Jo- 
si'ah  was  this  passover  kept. 

20  'After  all  this,  when  Jo-si'ah  had  prepared  the 
temple,  Ne'co  king  of  E'gypt  went  up  to  fight  against 
Car'che-mish  by  Eu-phra'tes:  and  Jo-si'ah  went  out 

21  against  him.  But  he  sent  ambassadors  to  him, 
saying.  What  have  I  to  do  with  thee,  thou  king  of 
Ju'dah?  I  come  not  against  thee  this  day,  but  against 
the  house  wherewith  I  have  war;  and  God  ^hath 
commanded  me  to  make  haste:  forbear  thee  from 
meddling  with  God,  who  is  with  me,  that  he  destroy 

22  thee  not.  Nevertheless  Jo-si'ah  would  not  turn  his 
face  from  him,  but  disguised  himself,  that  he  might 
fight  with  him,  and  hearkened  not  unto  the  words 
of  Ne'co  from  the  mouth  of  God,  and  came  to  fight 

23  in  the  valley  of  Me-gid'do.  And  the  archers  shot  at 
king  Jo-si'ah;  and  the  king  said  to  his  servants,  Have 

24  me  away;  for  I  am  sore  wounded.  So  his  servants 
took  him  out  of  the  chariot,  and  put  him  in  the 
second  chariot  that  he  had,  and  brought  him  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  he  died,  and  was  buried  in  the  sep- 
ulchres ofhis  fathers.  And  all  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem 

25  mourned  for  Jo-si'ah.  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  lamented  for 
Jo-si'ah  :  and  all  the  singing  men  and  singing  women 
spake  of  Jo-si'ah  in  their  lamentations,  unto  this  day; 
and  they  made  them  an    ordinance  in  Is'ra-el :  and, 

26  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  lamentations.  Now 
the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Jo-si'ah,  and  his  good  deeds, 
according  to  that  which  is  written  in  the  law  of  the 

27  Lord,  and  his  acts,  first  and  last,  behold,  they  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah 

V  V  'Then  the  people  of  the  land  took  Je-ho'a-haz  the 
son  of  Jo-si'ah,  and  made  him  king  in  his  father's 

2  stead  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Jo'a-haz  was  twenty  and  three

began  to  reign,  and  he  reigned  eleven  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem: 
and  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord 
his  God. 

6  ''Against  him  came  up  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon,  and  bound  him  in  ||  fetters,  to  'carry  him  to  Bab'y-lon. 

7  -^Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  also  carried  of  the  vessels  of  the 
house  of  the  LoBD  to  Bab'y-lou,  and  put  them  in  his 
temple  at  Bab'y-lon. 

8  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  and  his  abom- 
inations which  he  did,  and  that  which  was  found  in  him, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the  book  of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el 
and  Ju'dah.    And  ||  Je-hoi'a-chin  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

9  ^'Je-hoi'a-chin  was  eight  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign,  and  he  reigned  three  months  and  ten  days  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  he  did  thai  which  was  evil  in  the  sight 
of  the  Lord. 

10  And  fwhen  the  year  was  expired,  ''king  Neb-u-chad- 
ez'zar   sent,   and   brought    him    to    Bab'y-lon,   'with    the 

tgoodly  vessels  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  made  ||  ''Zed- 
e-ki'ah  his  brother  king  over  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

11  ll'Zed-e-ki'ah  was  one  and  twenty  years  old  when  he 
began  to  reign,  and  reigned  eleven  years  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  his  God,  arid  humbled  not  himself  before  Jcr-e-mi'ah 
the  prophet  speaking  from  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  "he  also  rebelled  against  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar, 
who  had  made  him  swear  by  God;  but  he  "stiffened  his 
neck,  and  hardened  his  heart  from  turning  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Is'ra-el. 

14  ^]  Moreover  all  the  chief  of  the  priests,  and  the  people, 
transgressed  very  much  after  all  the  abominations  of  the 
heathen;  and  polluted  the  house  of  the  Lord  •which  he 
had  hallowed  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  "And  the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers  sent  to  them  fby 
his  messengers,  rising  up  ||  betimes,  and  sending;  because 
he  had  compassion  on  his  people,  and  on  his  dwellingplace : 

16  "But  they  mocked  the  messengers  of  God,  and  "de- 
spised his  words,  and  'misused  his  prophets,  until  the 
'wrath  of  the  Lord  arose  against  his  people,  till  there  was 
no  fremedy. 

17  'Therefore  he  brought  upon  them  the  king  of  the  Chal- 
dees,  who  "slew  their  young  men  with  the  sword  in  the 
house  of  their  sanctuary,  and  had  no  compassion  upon 
young  man  or  maiden,  old  man,  or  him  that  stooped  for 
age :  he  gave  them  all  into  his  hand. 

18  ^And  all  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  God,  great  and 
small,  and  the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
treasures  of  the  king,  and  of  his  princes;  all  these  he  brought 
to  Bab'y-lon. 

19  "And  they  burnt  the  house  of  God,  and  brake  down 
the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  burnt  all  the  palaces  thereof 
with  fire,  and  destroyed  all  the  goodly  vessels  thereof. 

20  And  t'them  that  had  escaped  from  the  sword  carried 
he  away  to  Bab'y-lon;  "where  they  were  servants  to  him 
and  his  sons  until  the  reign  of  the  kingdom  of  Per'si-a: 

21  To  fulfil  the  word  of  the  Lord  by  the  mouth  of ''Jer-e- 
mi'ah,  until  the  land  ''had  enjoyed  her  sabbaths:  for  as 
long  as  she  lay  desolate  ''she  kept  sabbath,  to  fulfil  three- 
score and  ten  years. 

22  ^'Now  in  the  first  year  of  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a,  that 
the  word  of  the  Lord  spoken  by  the  mouth  of  •'^Jer-e-mi'ah 
might  be  accomplished,  the  Lord  stirred  up  the  spirit  of 
"Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a,  that  he  made  a  proclamation  through- 
out all  his  kingdom,  and  put  it  also  in  writing,  saying, 

23  ''Thus  saith  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a,  All  the  kingdoms

sa-lem: and  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  sight 

6  of  the  Lord  his  God.  Against  him  came  up  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  bound  him  in  fet- 

7ters,  to  carry  him  to  Bab'y-lon.  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
also  carried  of  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 
to  Bab'y-lon,  and  put  them  in  his  'temple  at  Bab'y-lon. 

8  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  and  his 
abominations  which  he  did,  and  that  which  was 
found  ^in  him,  behold,  they  are  written  in  the  book 
of  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah:  and  ^Je-hoi'a- 
chin  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

9  'Je-hoi'a-chin  was  'eight  years  old  when  he  began 
to  reign ;  and  he  reigned  three  months  and  ten  days 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the 

10  sight  of  the  Lord.  And  "at  the  return  of  the  year 
king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  sent,  and  brought  him  to 
Bab'y-lon,  with  the  goodly  vessels  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  made  Zed-e-ki'ah  his  brother  king 
over  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

11  'Zed-e-ki'ah  was  twenty  and  one  years  old  when  he 
began   to   reign ;    and    he    reigned   eleven   years  in 

12 Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  his  God;  he  humbled  not  him- 
self before  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  speaking  from  the 

13  mouth  of  the  Lord.  And  he  also  rebelled  against 
king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar,  who  had  made  him  swear  by 
God:  but  he  stiffened  his  neck,  and  'hardened  his 
heart    from   turning    unto   the   Lord,  the  God  of 

14  Is'ra-el.  Moreover  all  the  chiefs  of  the  priests,  and 
the  people,  trespassed  very  greatly  after  all  the 
abominations  of  the  heathen ;  and  they  polluted  the 
house  of  the  Lord  which  he  had  hallowed  in  Je-ru'- 

15sa-lem.  And  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers, 
sent  to  them  by  his  messengers,  rising  up  early  and 
sending ;  because  he  had  compassion  on  his  people, 

16 and  on  his  dwelling  place:  but  they  mocked  the 
messengers  of  God,  and  despised  his  words,  and 
scoffed  at  his  prophets,  until  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
arose  against  his  people,  till  there  was  no  ^remedy. 

17  Therefore  he  brought  upon  them  the  king  of  the 
Chal-de'ans,  who  slew  their  young  men  with  the 
sword  in  the  house  of  their  sanctuary,  and  had  no 
compassion  upon  young  man  or  maiden,  old  man  or 

18  ancient :  he  gave  them  all  into  his  hand.  And  all  the 
vessels  of  the  house  of  God,  great  and  small,  and  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  treasures 
of  the  king,  and  of  his  princes ;  all  these  he  brought 

19to  Bab'y-lon.  And  they  burnt  the  house  of  God,  and 
brake  down  the  walls  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  burnt  all  the 
palaces  thereof  with  fire,  and  destroyed  all  the  goodly

CHAPTER  I. 

The  proclamation  of  Cyrus  for  the  building  of  the  temple, 

"VTOW  in  the  first  year  of  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a,  that  the 
-Ll  worv^  of  the  Lord  "by  the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  might 
be  fulfilled,  the  Lord  stirred  up  the  spirit  of  Cy'rus  king  of 
Per'si-a  ''that  he  fmade  a  proclamation  throughout  all  his 
kingdom,  and  put  it  also  in  writing,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a,  the  Lord  God  of 
heaven  hath  given  me  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  ;  and 
he  hath  ""charged  me  to  build  him  a  house  at  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
which  is  in  Ju'dah. 

3  Who  is  there  among  you  of  all  his  people  ?  his  God  be 
with  him,  and  let  him  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  which  is  in 
Ju'dah,  and  build  the  house  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
(''he  is  the  God,)  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  And  whosoever  remaineth  in  any  place  where  he  so- 
journeth,  let  the  men  of  his  place  fhelp  him  with  silver,  and 
with  gold,  and  with  good.s,  and  with  beasts,  besides  the 
freewill  offering  for  the  house  of  God  that  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  ^Then  rose  up  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  Ju'dah  and 
Ben'ja-min,  and  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  with  all  them 
whose  spirit  *God  had  raised,  to  go  up  to  build  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lera. 

6  And  all  they  that  were  about  them  |]  strengthened  their 
hands  with  vessels  of  silver,  with  gold,  with  goods,  and  with 
beasts,  and  with  precious  things,  besides  all  that  was  will- 
ingly offered. 

7  ^-^Also  Cy'rus  the  king  brought  forth  the  vessels  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  "which  Ne-bu-chad-nez'zar  had  brought  forth 
out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  had  put  them  in  the  house  of  his  gods; 

8  Even  those  did  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a  bring  forth  by  the 
hand  of  Mith're-dath  the  treasurer,  and  numbered  them 
unto  ''Shesh-baz'zar,  the  prince  of  Ju'dah. 

9  And  this  is  the  number  of  them:  thirty  chargers  of  gold, 
a  thousand  chargers  of  silver,  nine  and  twenty  knives. 

10  Thirty  basins  of  gold,  silver  basins  of  a  second  sort 
four  hundred  and  ten,  and  other  vessels  a  thousand. 

11  All  the  vessels  of  gold  and  of  silver  were  five  thousand 
and  four  hundred.  All  these  did  Shesh-baz'zar  bring  up 
with  them  of  fthe  captivity  that  were  brought  up  from

offering  for  the  house  of  God  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  Then  rose  up  the  heads  of  fathers'  houses  of  Ju'dah 
and  Ben'jamin,  and  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites, 
even  all  whose  spirit  God  had  stirred  to  go  up  to 
build  the  house  of  the  Lord  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6  And  all  they  that  were  round  about  them  strength- 
ened their  hands  with  vessels  of  silver,  with  gold, 
with  goods,  and  with  beasts,  and  with  precious  things, 

7  beside  all  that  was  willingly  offered.  Also  Cy'rus 
the  king  brought  forth  the  vessels  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  which  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  had  brought 
forth  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  had  put  them  in  the 

8 house   of  his  gods;    even  those  did  Cy'rus  king  of 

Per'si-a  bring  forth  by  the  hand  of  Mith're-dath  the 

treasurer,  and  numbered  them  unto  Shesh-baz'zar, 

9  the  prince  of  Ju'dah.     And  this  is  the  number  of 

them :  thirty  chargers  of  gold,  a  thousand  chargers 

10 of  silver,  nine  and  twenty  knives;  thirty  bowls  of 
gold,  silver  bowls  of  a  second  sort  four  hundred  and 

1 1  ten,  and  other  vessels  a  thousand.  All  the  vessels 
of  gold  and  of  silver  were  five  thousand  and  four 
hundred.  All  these  did  Shesh-baz'zar  bring  up, 
when  they  of  the  captivity  were  brought  up  from 
Bab'y-lon  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

^  'Now  these  are  the  children  of  the  province,  that 
went  up  out  of  the  captivity  of  those  which  had 
been  carried  away,  whom  *Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  carried  away  unto  Bab'y-lon, 
and  that  returned  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  ev-

children  of  Poch'e-reth  of  Ze-ba'im,  the  children  of  ||  A'mi. 

58  All  the  "Neth'i-nim,  and  the  children  of  "Sol'o-mon's 
servants,  were  three  hundred  ninety  and  two. 

59  And  these  were  they  which  went  .up  from  Tel-me'lah, 
Tel-har'sa,  Che'rub,  ||Ad'dan,  and  Im'mer:  but  they  could 
not  shew  their  father's  house,  and  their  ||seed,  whether  they 
were  of  Is'ra-el : 

60  The  children  of  Del-a-i'ah,  the  children  of  To-bi'ah, 
the  children  of  Ne-ko'da,  six  hundred  fifty  and  two. 

61  T[And  of  the  children  of  the  priests :  the  children  of 
Ha-ba'iah,  the  children  of  Koz,  the  children  of  Bar-zil'la-i ; 
which  took  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of  °Bar-zil'la-i  the  Gil'e-ad- 
ite,  and  was  called  after  their  name: 

62  These  sought  their  register  among  those  that  were 
reckoned  by  genealogy,  but  they  were  not  found :  ^there- 
fore  fwere  they,  as  polluted,  put  from  the  priesthood. 

63  And  the  ||Tir'sha-tha  said  unto  them,  that  they  'should 
not  eat  of  the  most  holy  things,  till  there  stood  up  a  priest 
with  ''U'rim  and  with  Thum'mim. 

64  ^'The  whole  congregation  together  was  forty  and  two 
thousand  three  hundred  and  threescore, 

65  Besides  their  servants  and  their  maids,  of  whom  there 
were  seven  thousand  three  hundred  thirty  and  seven  :  and 
there  were  among  them  two  hundred  singing  men  and  sing- 
ing women. 

66  Their  horses  were  seven  hundred  thirty  and  six ;  their 
mules,  two  hundred  forty  and  five ; 

67  Their  camels,  four  hundred  thirty  and  five ;  their  asses, 
six  thousand  seven  hundred  and  twenty. 

68  ^'And  some  of  the  chief  of  the  fathers,  when  they  came 
to  the  house  of  the  Lord  which  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  offered 
freely  for  the  house  of  God  to  set  it  up  in  his  place : 

69  They  gave  after  their  ability  unto  the  "treasure  of 
the  work  threescore  and  one  thousand  drams  of  gold,  and 
five  thousand  pounds  of  silver,  and  one  hundred  priests' 
garments. 

70  ^So  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  and  sojne  of  the  people, 
and  the  singers,  and  the  porters,  and  the  Neth'i-nim,  dwelt 
in  their  cities,  and  all  Is'ra-el  in  their  cities. 

CHAPTER  III. 

The  altar  is  set  up — Offerings  frequented.  * 

AND  when  the  seventh  month  was  come,  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  were  in  the  cities,  the  people  gathered 
themselves  together  as  one  man  to  Je-ru'salem. 

2  Then  stood  up  ||Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  Joz'a-dak,  and  his 
brethren  the  priests,  and  ||Ze-rub'ba-bel  the  son  of 'She-al'- 
ti-iel,  and  his  brethren,  and  builded  the  altar  of  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  to  offer  burnt  offerings  thereon,  as  it  is  "written  in 
the  law  of  Mo'ses  the  man  of  God. 

3  And  they  set  the  altar  upon  his  bases ;  for  fear  was  upon 
them  because  of  the  people  of  those  countries :  and  they 
offered  burnt  offerings  thereon  unto  the  Lord,  even  ''burnt 
offerings  morning  and  evening. 

4  "They  kept  also  the  feast  of  tabernacles,  ■'ias  it  is  written, 
and  "offered  the  daily  burnt  offerings  by  number,  according 
to  the  custom,  fas  the  duty  of  every  day  required ; 

5  And  afterward  offered  the  ''continual  burnt  offering,  both 
of  the  new  moons,  and  of  all  the  set  feasts  of  the  Lord  that 
were  consecrated,  and  of  every  one  that  willingly  offered  a 
freewill  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

6  From  the  first  day  of  the  seventh  month  began  they  to

of  the  temple  of  the  Lord  was  not  yet  laid. 

7  They  gave  money  also  unto  the  masons,  and  to  the 
II  carpenters;  and  'meat,  and  drink,  and  oil,  unto  them  of 
Zi'don,  and  to   them  of  Tyre,  to  bring  cedar  trees   from 


56  the  children  of  Ja-a'lah,  the  children  of  Dar'kon, 

57  the  children  of  Gid'del ;  the  children  of  Sheph-a-ti'ah, 
the  children  of  Hat'til,  the  children  of  Poch'e-reth- 

58haz-ze-ba'im,  the  children  of 'A'mi.  All  the  Neth'- 
i-nim,  and  the    children  of  Sol'o-mon's    servants, 

59  were  three  hundred  ninety  and  two.  And  these 
were  they  which  went  up  from  Tel-me'lah,  Tel- 
har'sha,  Che'rub,  ^Ad'dan,  and  Im'mer :  but  they 
could   not   shew   their    fathers'   houses,   and    their 

60 seed,  whether  they  were  of  Is'ra-el:  the  children  of 
Del-a-i'ah,  the  children  of  To-bi'ah,  the  children  of 

61  Ne-ko'da,  six  hundred  fifty  and  two.  And  of  the 
children  of  the  priests :  the  children  of  'Ha-ba'iah, 
the  children  of  flak'koz,the  children  of  Bar-zil'la-i, 
which  took  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of  Bar-zil'la-i  the 

62  Gil'e-ad-ite,  and  was  called  after  their  name.  These 
sought  their  register  among  those  that  were  reckoned 
by  genealogy,  but  they  were  not  found  :  therefore 
*were  they  deemed  polluted  and  put  from  the  priest- 

63  hood.  And  the  ^Tir'sha-tha  said  unto  them,  that 
they  should  not  eat  of  the  most  holy  things,  till 
there  stood  up  a  priest  with  U'rim  and  with  Thum'- 

64mim.  The  whole  congregation  together  was  forty 
and  two    thousand  three   hundred    and    threescore, 

65  besides  their  menservants  and  their  maidservants,  of 
whom  there  were  seven  thousand  three  hundred 
thirty  and  seven  :  and  they  had  two  hundred  sing- 

66  ing  men  and  singing  women.  Their  horses  were 
seven   hundred    thirty   and    six ;    their   mules,  two 

67  hundred  forty  and  five ;  their  camels,  four  hundred 
thirty   and    five;    their    asses,   six    thousand    seven 

68  hundred  and  twenty.  And  some  of  the  heads  of 
fathers'  houses,  when  they  came  to  the  house  of  the 
Lord  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  offered  willingly  for 

69  the  house  of  God  to  set  it  up  in  its  place :  they  gave 
after  their  ability  into  the  treasury  of  the  work 
threescore  and  one  thousand  darics  of  gold,  and  five 
thousand  "pound  of  silver,  and  one  hundred  priests' 

70  garments.  So  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  and 
some  of  the  people,  and  the  singers,  and  the  porters, 
and  the  Netb'i-nim,  dwelt  in  their  cities,  and  all 
Is'j^-el  in  their  cities. 

■0  ^And  when  the  seventh  month  was  come,  and  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  were  in  the  cities,  the  people 
gathered  themselves  together  as  one  man  to  Je-ru'- 

2  sa-lem.  Then  stood  up  Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  Joz'a-dak, 
and  his  brethren  the  priests,  and  Ze-rub'ba-bel  the 
son  of  She-al'ti-el,  and  his  brethren,  and  builded  the 
altar  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  to  offer  burnt  offerings 
thereon,  as  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses  the  man 

3  of  God.  And  they  set  the  altar  *upon  its  base ;  for 
fear  was  upon  them  because  of  the  people  of  the 
countries:  and  they  offered  burnt  offerings  thereon 
unto  the  Lord,  even  burnt  offerings  morning  and 

4  evening.  And  they  kept  the  feast  of  tabernacles,  as 
it  is  written,  and  offered  the  daily  burnt  offerings  by 
number,  according  to  the  ordinance,  as  the  duty  of 

5  every  day  required ;  and  afterward  the  continual 
burnt  offering,  and  the  offerings  of  the  new  moons, 
and  of  all  the  set  feasts  of  the  Lord  that  were  con- 
secrated, and  of  every  one  that  willingly  offered   a 

6  freewill  offering  unto  the  Lord.  From  the  first  day 
of  the  seventh  month  began  they  to  offer  burnt  offer- 
ings unto  the  Lord:    liut  the  foundation  of  the 

7  temple  of  the  Lord  was  not  yet  laid.  They  gave 
money  also  unto  the  'masons,  and  to  the  carpenters ; 
and  meat,  and  drink,  and  oil,  unto  them  of  Zi'don, 
and  to   them  of  Tyre,  to   bring  cedar  trees  from

CHAPTER    IV. 

The  decree  of  Artaxerxes — The  building  is  hindered. 

"VTOW  when  "the  adversaries  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min 
-L'  heard  that  fthe  children  of  the  captivity  builded  the 
temple  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el; 

2  Then  they  came  to  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  and  to  the  chief  of  the 
fathers,  and  said  unto  them,  Let  us  build  with  you :  for  we 
seek  your  God,  as  ye  do ;  and  we  do  sacrifice  unto  him 
'since  the  days  of  E-sar-had'don  king  of  As'sur,  which  brought 
us  up  hither. 

3  But  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  and  Jesh'u-a,  and  the  rest  of  the  chief 
of  the  fathers  of  Is'ra-el,  said  unto  them,  "Ye  have  nothing  to 
do  with  us  to  build  a  house  unto  our  God ;  but  we  our- 
selves together  will  build  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  as 
''king  Cy'rus  the  king  of  Per'si-a  hath  commanded  us. 

4  Then  *the  people  of  the  land  weakened  the  hands  of  the 
people  of  Ju'dah,  and  troubled  them  in  building, 

5  And  hired  counsellors  again,st  them,  to  frustrate  their 
purpose,  all  the  days  of  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a,  even  until 
the  reign  of  Da-ri'us  king  of  Per'si-a. 

6  And  in  the  reign  of  f  A-has-u-e'rus,  in  the  beginning  of  his 
reign,  wrote  they  xmto  him  an  accusation  against  the  inhab- 
itants of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7  ^And  in  the  days  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  wrote  ||  Bish'lam, 
Mith're-dath,  Ta'be-el,  and  the  rest  of  their  fcompanions 
unto  Ar-tax-erx'es  king  of  Per'si-a ;  and  the  writing  of  the 
letter  was  written  in  the  Syr'i-an  tongue,  and  interpreted 
in  the  Syr'i-an  tongue. 

8  Re'hum  the  chancellor  and  Shim'shai  the  ||  scribe  wrote  a 
letter  against  Je-ru'.sa-lem  to  A.r-tax-erx'esthe  king  in  this  sort: 

9  Then  wrote  Re'hum  the  chaneellor,  and  Shim'shai  the 
scribe,  and  the  rest  of  their  fcompanions;  ■'the  Di'na-ites, 
the  A-phar'sath-chites,  the  Tar'pel-ites,  the  A-phar'sites,  the 
Ar'che-^ites,  the  Bab-y-lo'ni-ans,  the  Su'san-cliites,  the  De- 
ha'vites,  and  the  E'lam-ites, 

10  "And  the   rest   of  the   nations   whom   the   great   and 


Leb'a-non  to  the  sea,  .unto  Jop'pa,  according  to  the 
grant  that  they  had  of  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a. 

8  Now  in  the  second  year  of  their  coming  unto  the 
house  of  God  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  in  the  second  month, 
began  Ze-rub'ba-bel  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,and  Jesh'u-a 
the  son  of  Joz'a-dak,  and  the  rest-  of  their  brethren 
the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  all  they  that  were 
come  out  of  the  captivity  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and 
appointed  the  Le'vites  from  twenty  years  old  and 
upward,  to  %ave  the  oversight  of  the  work  of  the 

9  house  of  the  Lord.  Then  stood  Jesh'u-a  with  his 
sons  and  his  brethren,  Kad'mi-el  and  his  sons,  the 
sons  of  ^Ju'dah,  'together,  to  have  the  over.sight  of  the 
workmen  in  the  house  of  God  :  the  sons  of  Hen'a-dad, 

10  with  their  sons  and  their  brethren  the  Le'vites.  And 
when  the  builders  laid  the  foundation  of  the  temple 
of  the  Lord,  Hhey  set  the  priests  in  their  aj)parel 
with  trumpets,  and  the  Le'vites  the  sons  of  A'saph 
with  cymbals,  to  praise  the  Lord,  after  the  order  of 

11  Da'vid  king  of  Is'ra-el.  And  they  sang  one  to 
another  in  pr'aising  and  giving  thanks  unto  the 
Lord,  saying,  For  he  is  good,  for  his  mercy  endureth 
for  ever  toward  Is'ra-el.  And  all  the  people  shouted 
with  a  great  shout,  when  they  praised  the  Lord, 
because  the  foundation  of  the  house  of  the  Lord 

12  was  laid.  But  many  of  the  priests  and  Le'vites  and 
heads  of  fathers'  houses,  the  old  men  that  had  seen 
'the  first  house,  M'hen  the  foundation  of  this  house 
was  laid  before  their  eyes,  wept  with  a  loud  voice ; 

13  and  many  shouted  aloud  for  joy  :  so  that  the  people 
could  not  discern  the  noise  of  the  shout  of  joy  from 
the  noise  of  the  weeping  of  the  people :  for  the 
people  shouted  with  a  loud  shout,  and  the  noise  was 
heard  afar  off. 

^  Now  when  the  adversaries  of  Ju'dah  aud  Ben'ja-min 
heard  that  the  children  of  the  captivity  builded  a  tem- 

2  pie  unto  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  then  they  drew 
neartoZe-rub'ba-bel,and  totheheads  of  fathers' houses 
and  said  unto  them.  Let  us  build  with  you:  for  we 
seek  your  God,  as  ye  do;  *and  we  do  .sacrifice  unto 
him  since  the  days  of  E-sar-had'don  king  of  As-syr'i-a, 

3  which  brought  us  up  hither.    But  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  and 
Jesh'u-a,  and  the  rest  of  the  heads  of  fathers'  houses 
of  Is'ra-el,  said  unto  them,Ye  have  nothing  to  do  with 
us  to  build  an  house  unto   our  God ;    but  we  our 
selves  together  will  build  unto  the  Lord,  the  God  of 

-    Is'ra-el,  as  king  Cy'rus  the  king  of  Per'si-a  hath  com- 

4  manded  us.  Then  the  people  of  the  land  weakened 
the  hands  of  the   people    of  Ju'dah,  and  ^troubled 

5  them  in  building,  and  hired  counsellors  against 
them,  to  frustrate  their  purpose^  all  the  days  of  Cyrus 
king  of  Per'si-a,  even  until  the  reign  of  Da-ri'us  king 

6  of  Per'si-a.  And  in  the  reign  of  *A-has-u-e'rus,  in  the 
beginning  of  his  reign,  wrote  they  an  accusation 
against  the  inhabitants  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7  And  in  the  days  of  "Ar-tax-erx'es  wrote  Bish'lam, 
Mith're-dath,  Ta'be-el,  and  the  rest  of  his  companions, 
unto  Ar-tax-erx'es  king  of  Per'si-a ;  and  the  writing 
of  the  letter  was  written  in  the  '"Syr'i-an  character, 

8  and  set  forth  in  the  '"Syr'i-an  tongue.  "Re'hum  the

noble  As-nap'per  brought  over,  and  set  in  the  cities  of  Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and  the  rest  that  are  on  this  side  the  river,  ''and  fat  such  a  time. 

11  ^This-is  the  copy  of  the  letter  that  they  sent  unto  him, 
even  unto  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king;  Thy  servants  the  men  on 
this  side  the  river,  and  at  such  a  time. 

12  Be  it  known  unto  the  king,  that  the  Jews  which  came 
up  from  thee  to  us  are  come  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  building  the 
rebellious  and  the  bad  city,  and  have  ||set  up  the  walls 
thereof,  and  fjoined  the  foundations. 

13  Be  it  known  now  unto  the  king,  that,  if  this  city  be 
builded,  and  the  walls  set  up  again,  then  will  they  not  fpay 
'toll,  tribute,  and  custom,  and  so  thou  shalt  endamage  the 
II  revenue  of  the  kings. 

14  Now  because  fwe  have  maintenance  from  the  king's 
palace,  and  it  was  not  meet  for  us  to  see  the  king's  dis- 
honour, therefore  have  we  sent  and  certified  the  king  ; 

15  That  search  may  be  made  in  the  book  of  the  records  of 
thy  fathers :  so  shalt  thou  find  in  the  book  of  the  records,  and 
know  that  this  city  is  a  rebellious  city,and  hurtful  unto  kings 
and  provinces,  and  that  they  have  f moved  sedition  fwithin 
the  same  of  old  time :  for  which  cause  was  this  city  destroyed. 

16  We  certify  the  king  that,  if  this  city  be  builded  again, 
and  the  walls  thereof  set  up,  by  this  means  thou  shalt  have 
no  portion  on  this  side  the  river. 

17  %Then  sent  the  king  an  answer  unto  Ee'hum  the  chan- 
cellor, and  to  Shim'shai  the  scribe,  and  to  the  rest  of  their 
fcompanions  that  dwell  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  unto  the  rest  be- 
yond the  river.  Peace,  and  at  such  a  time. 

18  The  letter  which  ye  sent  unto  us  hath  been  plainly 
read  before  me. 

19  And  fl  commanded,  and  search  hath  been  made,  and  it  is 
found  that  this  city  of  old  time  hath  fmade  insurrection  against 
kings,  and  that  rebellion  and  sedition  have  been  made  therein. 

20  There  have  been  mighty  kings  also  over  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
which  have  'ruled  over  all  countries  'beyond  the  river ;  and 
toll,  tribute,  and  cu.stom,  was  paid  unto  them. 

21  fGive  ye  now  commandment  to  cause  these  men  to 
cease,  and  that  this  city  be  not  builded,  until  another  com- 
mandment shall  be  given  from  me. 

22  Take  heed  now  that  ye  fail  not  to  do  this :  why  should 
damage  grow  to  the  hurt  of  the  kings  ? 

23  TfNow  when  the  copy  of  king  Ar-tax-erx'es'  letter  was 
read  before  Re'hum,  and  Shim'shai  the  scribe,  and  their  com- 
panions, they  went  up  in  haste  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the 
Jews,  and  made  them  to  cease  fby  force  and  power. 

24  Then  ceased  the  work  of  the  house  of  God  which  is  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem.  So  it  ceased  unto  the  second  year  of  the 
reign  of  Da-ri'us  king  of  Per'si-a. 

CHAPTER  V. 

Zerubbabel  and  Jeshua  set  forwrd  the  building  of  the  temple. 

THEN  the  prophets,''Hag'ga-i  the  prophet,  and  "Zech-a-ri'ah 
theson  of  Id'do,  prophesied  unto  the  Jews  that  wereinju'dah 
and  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  the  name  of  the  Godofls'ra-eljCTenun  to  them. 

2  Then  rose  up  ''Ze-rub'ba-bel  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  and 
Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  Joz'a-dak,  and  began  to  build  the  house 
of  God  which  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  with  them  were  the 
prophets  of  God  helping  them. 

3  *|1  At  the  same  time  came  to  them  'Tat'na-i,  governor  on 
this  side  the  river,  and  She-thar-boz'na-i,  and  their  com- 
panions, and  said  thus  unto  them,  ■'^Who  hath  commanded 
you  to  build  this  house,  and  to  make  up  this  wall? 

4  'Then  said  we  unto  them  after  this  manner,  What  are 
the  names  of  the  men  fthat  make  this  building? 

5  But  ''the  eye  of  their  God  was  upon  the  elders  of  the 
Jews,  that  they  could  not  cause  them  to  cease,  till  the  matter 
came  to  Da-ri'us :  and  then  they  returned  'answer  by  letter 
concerning  this  matter. 

6  ^The  copy  of  the  letter  that  Tat'na-i,  governor  on 
this   side  the  river,  and   She-thar-boz'na-i,  *and  his  com- 


noble  Os-nap'par  brought  over,  and  set  in  the  city 
of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  in  the  rest  of  the  country  beyond 
lithe  river,  and  so  forth.  This  is  the  copy  of  the 
letter  that  they  sent  unto  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king ;  Thy 
servants    the   men  beyond  the  river,   and  so  forth. 

12  Be  it  known  unto  the  king,  that  the  Jews  which 
came  up  from  thee  are  come  to  us  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
they  are  building  the  rebellious  and  the  bad  city, 
and  have  finished  the  walls,  and  repaired  the  founda- 

13  tions.  Be  it  known  now  unto  the  king,  that,  if  this 
city  be  builded,  and  the  walls  finished,  they  will  not 
pay  tribute,  custom,  or  toll,  and  in  the  end  it  will 

14  endamage  the  kings.  Now  because  we  eat  the  salt 
of  the  palace,  and  it  is  not  meet  for  us  to  see  the 
king's  dishonour,  therefore  have  we  sent  and  certified 

15 the  king;  that  search  may  be  made  in  the  book  of 
the  records  of  thy  fathers :  so  shalt  thou  find  in  the 
book  of  the  records,  and  know  that  this  city  is  a 
rebellious  city,  and  hurtful  unto  kings  and  provinces, 
and  that  they  have  moved  sedition  within  the  same 
of  old  time :  for  which  cause  was  this  city  laid  waste. 

16  We  certify  the  king,  that  if  this  city  be  builded,  and 
the  walls  finished,  by  this  means  thou  shalt  have  no 

17  portion  beyond  the  rivei*.  Then  sent  the  king  an 
answer  unto  Re'hum  the  chancellor,  and  to  Shim'shai 
the  scribe,  and  to  the  rest  of  their  companions  that 
dwell  in  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  Un  the  rest  of  the  country  be 

ISyond  the  river.  Peace,  and  so  forth.  The  letter 
which    ye    sent    unto    us    hath    been   ^plainly    read 

19  before  me.  And  I  decreed,  and  search  hath  been 
made,  and  it  is  found  that  this  city  of  old  time  hath 
made  insurrection  against  kings,  and  that  rebellion 

20 and  sedition  have  been  made  therein.  There  have 
been  mighty  kings  also  over  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  have 
ruled  over  all  the  country  beyond  the  river;  and  tribute, 

21  custom,  and  toll,  was  paid  unto  them.  Make  ye  now 
a  decree  to  cause  these  men  to  cease,  and  that  this 
city  be  not  builded,  until  a  decree  shall  be  made  by 

22 me.  And  take  heed  that  ye  be  not  slack  herein: 
why  should  damage  grow  to  the  hurt  of  the  kings? 

23  Then  when  the  copy  of  king  Ar-tax-erx'es'  letter 
was  read  before  Re'hum,  and  Shim'shai  the  scribe, 
and  their  companions,  they  went  in  haste  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem unto  the  Jews,  and    made   tiiem  to  cease    by 

24  force  and  power.  Then  ceased  the  work  of  tlie  liouse 
of  God  which  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  aud  it  ceased  unto  the 
secoud  year  of  the  reign  of  Da-ri'us  king  of  Per'si-a 

V  Now  the  prophets,  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet,  and  Zech-a- 
ri'ah  tiie  sou  of  Id'do,  prophesied  unto  the  Jews  that 
were  in  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  ;  in  the  name  of  the 

2  God  of  Is'ra-el  ^prophesied  they  unto  them.  Then  rose 
up  Ze-rub'ba-bel  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  and  Jesh'u-a  the 
sonof  Joz'a-dak,  and  began  to  build  the  house  of  God 
which  isat  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and  with  them  were  the  proph- 

3et8  of  God,  helping  them.  At  the  same  time  came 
to  them  Tat'te-na-i,  the  governor  beyond  the  river,  and 
She-thar-lioz'e-na-i,and  their  companions,and  said  thus 
unto   the»i.  Who    gave   you  a  decree  to  build   this 

4 house,  and  to  finish  this  wall?  *Then  spake  we  unto 
them  after  this  manner.  What  are  the  names  of  the 

5 men  that  make  this  building?  But  the  eye  of  their 
God  was  upon  the  elders  of  the  Jews,  and  they  did 
not  make  them  cease,  till  the  matter  should  come  to 
Da-ri'us,  and  then  "answer  should  be  returned  by  let- 
ter concerning  it.

panious  the  A-phar'sa-ehites,  which  were  on  this  side  the 
river,  sent  unto  Da-ri'us  the  king : 

7  They  sent  a  letter  unto  him,  fwherein  was  written  thus; 
Unto  Da-ri'us  the  king,  all  peace. 

8  Be  it  known  unto  the  king,  that  we  went  into  the  prov- 
ince of  Ju-de'a,  to  the  house  of  the  great  God,  which  is 
builded  with  fgreat  stones,  and  timber  is  laid  in  the  walls, 
and  this  work  goeth  fast  on,  and  prospereth  in  their  hands. 

9  Then  asked  we  those  elders,  and  said  unto  them  thus, 
'Who  commanded  you  to  build  this  house,  and  to  make  up 
these  walls? 

10  We  asked  their  names  also,  to  certify  thee,  that  we  might 
write  the  names  of  the  men  that  were  the  chief  of  them. 

11  And  thus  they  returned  us  answer,  saying,  We  are  the 
servants  of  the  God  of  heaven  and  earth,  and  build  the 
house  that  was  builded  these  many  years  ago,  which  a  great 
king  of  Is'ra-el  builded  ""and  set  up. 

12  But  "after  that  our  fathers  had  provoked  the  God  of 
heaven  unto  wrath,  he  gave  them  into  the  hand  of  "Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  the  Chal-de'an,  who  destroyefi 
this  house,  and  carried  the  people  away  into  Bab'y-lon. 

13  But  in  the  first  year  of  "Cy'rus  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  the 
same  king  Cy'rus  made  a  decree  to  build  this  house  of  God. 

14  And  'the  vessels  also  of  gold  and  silver  of  the  house 
of  God,  which  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  took  out  of  the  temple  that 
was  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  brought  them  into  the  temple  of 
Bab'y-lon,  those  did  Cy'rus  the  king  take  out  of  the  temple 
of  Bab'y-lon,  and  they  were  delivered  unto  one,  ''whose  name 
was  Shesh-baz'zar,  whom  he  had  made  ||  governor; 

15  And  said  unto  him.  Take  these  vessels,  go,  carry 
them  into  the  temple  that  is  in  Je-ru's^-lem,  and  let  the  house 
of  God  be  builded  in  his  place. 

16  Then  came  the  same  Shesh-baz'zar,  and  'laid  the  foun- 
dation of  the  house  of  God  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and 
since  that  time  even  until  now  hath  it  been  in  building, 
and  'yet  it  is  not  finished. 

17  Now  therefore,  if  it  seem  good  to  the  king,  "let  there 
be  search  made  in  the  king's  treasure  house,  which  is  there 
at  Bab'y-lon,  whether  it  be  so,  that  a  decree  was  made  of 
Cy'rus  the  king  to  build  this  house  of  G-od  at  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  let  the  king  send  his  pleasure  to  us  concerning  this 
matter. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

Tke  temple  Jinisked—the  feast  of  dedication  kept, 

THEN  Da-ri'us  the  king  made  a  decree,  "and  search  was 
made  in   the  house  of  the  frolls,  where  the  treasures 
were  flaid  up  in  Bab'y-lon. 

2  And  there  was  found  at  ||  Ach'me-tha,  in  the  palace  that 
is  in  the  province  of  the  Medes,  a  roll,  and  therein  was  a 
record  thus  written  : 

3  In  the  first  year  of  Cy'rus  the  king,  the  same  Cy'rus  the 
king  made  a  decree  concerning  the  house  of  God  at  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  Let  the  house  be  builded,  the  place  where  they  offered 
sacrifices,  and  let  the  foundations  thereof  be  strongly  laid; 
the  height  thereof  threescore  cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof 
threescore  cubits ; 

4  '  With  three  rows  of  great  stones,  and  a  row  of  new  timber : 
and  let  the  expenses  be  given  out  of  the  king's  house : 

5  And  also  let  ''the  golden  and  silver  vessels  of  the  house 
of  God,  which  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  took  forth  out  of  the  temple 
which  isat  Je-ru'sa-lem, and  brought  unto  Bab'y-lon,be  restored, 
and  fbrought  again  unto  the  temple  which  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
every  one  to  his  place,  and  place  them  in  the  house  of  God. 

6  ''Now  therefore,  Tat'na-i,  governor  beyond  the  river, 
She-thar-boz'na-i,  and  fyour  companions  the  A-phar'sa-chltes, 
which  are  beyond  the  river,  be  ye  far  from  thence : 

7  Let  the  work  of  this  house  of  God  alone ;  let  the  gov- 
ernor of  the  Jews,  and  the  elders  of  the  Jews,  build  this 
house  of  God  in  his  place. 


panions  the  A-phar'sa-ehites,  which  were  beyond  the 

7  river,  sent  unto  Da-ri'us  the  king :  they  sent  a  letter 
unto  him,  wherein  was  written  thus ;  Unto  Da'ri-us 

8  the  king,  all  peace.  Be  it  known  unto  the  king, 
that  we  went  into  the  province  of  Ju'dah,  to  the  house 
of  the  great  God,  which  is  builded  with  great  stones, 
and  timber  is  laid  in  the  walls,  and  this  work  goeth 
on   with   diligence  and  prospereth    in    their  hands. 

9  Then   asked  we   those  elders,  and   said  unto  them 
.  thus.  Who  gave  you  a  decree  to  build  this  house, 

10 and  to  finish  this  wall?  We  asked  them  their 
names  also,  to  certify  thee,  that  we  might  write 
the  names   of  the  men    that    were  at  the  head  of 

11  them.  And  thus  they  returned  us  answer,  saying, 
We  are  the  servants  of  the  God  of  heaven  and  earth, 
and  build  the  house  that  was  builded  these  many 
years  ago,  which  a  great  king  of  Is'ra-el  builded  and 

12  finished.  But  'after  that  our  fathers  had  provoked 
the  God  of  heaven  unto  wrath,  he  gave  them  into 
the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  the 
Chal-de'an,  who  destroyed  this  house,  and  carried  the 

13peox^le  away  into  Bab'y-lon.  But  in  the  first  year  of 
t/'y  rus  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  Cy'rus  the  king  made  a  de- 

14cree  to  build  this  house  of  God.  And  the  gold  and 
silver  vessels  also  of  the  house  of  God,  which  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  took  out  of  the  temple  that  was  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  broujjht  them  into  the  temple  of  Bab'y-lon, 
those  did  Cy'rus  the  king  take  out  of  the  temple  of 
Bab'y-lon,  and  they  were  delivered  unto  one  whose 
name  was  Shesh-baz'zar, whom  he  had  made  governor ; 

15  and  he  said  unto  him.  Take  these  vessels,  go,  put  them 
in  the  temple  that  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  let  the  house 

16  of  God  be  builded  in  its  place.  Then  came  the  same 
Shf-Li-baz'zar,  and  laid  the  foundations  of  the  house 
of  God  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  since  that  time 
even  until  now  hath  it  been  in  building,  and  yet  it  is 

17  not  completed.  Now  therefore,  if  it  seem  good  to 
the  king,  let  there  be  search  made  in  the  king's  treas- 
ure house,  which  is  there  at  Bab'y-lon,  Avhether  it  be 
so,  that  a  decree  was  made  of  Cy'rus  the  king  to  build 
this  house  of  God  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  let  the  king 
send  his  pleasure  to  us  concerning  this  matter. 

0  Then  Da-ri'us  the  king  made  a  decree,  and  search 
was  made  in  the  house  of  the  ^archives,  where  the 

2  treasures  were  laid  up  in  Bab'y-lon.  And  there  was 
found  at  'Ach'me-tha,  in  the  palace  that  is  in  the 
province  of  Me'di-a,  a  roll,  and  therein  was  thus  writ- 

3  ten  for  a  record.  In  the  first  year  of  Cy'rus  the 
king,  Cy'rus  the  king  made  a  decree ;  Concerning 
the  house  of  God  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  let  the  house  be 
builded,  the  place  where  they  offer  sacrifices,  and 
let  the  foundations  thereof  be  strongly  laid;  the 
height  thereof  threescore   cubits,  and    the  breadth 

4 thereof  threescore  cubits;  with  three  rows  of 
great  stones,  and  *&  row  of  new  timber :  and  let  the 

5  expenses  be  given  out  of  the  king's  house :  and  also 
let  the  gold  and  silver  vessels  of  the  house  of  God, 
which  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  took  forth  out  of  the  temple 
which  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  brought  unto  Bab'y-lon, 
be  restored,  and  brought  again  unto  the  temple 
which  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  every  one  to  its  j)lace,  and 

6  thou  shalt  put  them  in  the  house  of  God.  Now 
therefore,  Tat'te-na-i,  governor  beyond  the  river, 
She-thar-boz'e-na-i,and 'your  companions  the  A-phar'- 
sa-chites,   which   are   beyond    the    river,  be  ye  far 

7 from  thence:  let  the  work  of  this  house  of  God 
alone;  let  the  governor  of  the  Jews  and  the  elders 
of  the  Jews  build  this  house  of  God  in  its  place.

8  Moreover  fl  make  a  decree  what  ye  shall  do  to  the 
elders  of  these  Jews  for  the  building  of  this  house  of  God : 
that  of  the  king's  goods,  even  of  the  tribute  beyond  the 
river,  forthwith  expenses  be  given  unto  these  men,  that  they 
be  not  fhindered.  ^ 

9  And  that  which  they  have  need  of,  both  young  bullocks, 
and  rams,  and  lambs,  for  the  burnt  offerings  of  the  God  of 
heaven,  wheat,  salt,  wine,  and  oil,  according  to  the  appoint- 
ment of  the  priests  which  are  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  let  it  be  given 
them  day  by  day  without  fail : 

10  'That  they  may  offer  sacrifices  f  of  sweet  savours  unto  the 
God  of  heaven,  and  •'^pray  for  the  life  of  the  king,  and  of  his  sons. 

11  Also  I  have  made  a  decree,  that  whosoever  shall  alter

boz'na-i,  and  their  companions,  according  to  that  which 
Da-ri'us  the  king  had  sent,  so  they  did  speedily. 

14  'And  the  elders  of  the  Jews  builded,  and  they  pros- 
pered through  the  prophesying  of  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet  and 
Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Id'do.  And  they  builded,  and  finished 
it,  according  to  the  commandment  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
according  to  the  fcomraandment  of  *Cy'rus,  and  'Da-ri'us, 
and  ""Ar-tax-erx'es  king  of  Per'si-a. 

15  And  this  house  was  finished  on  the  third  day  of  the 
month  A'dar,  which  was  in  the  sixth  year  of  the  reign  of 
Da-ri'us  the  king. 

16  ^And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  the  priests,  and  the  Le'-

dedication  of  this  house  of  God  with  joy. 

17  And  "offered  at  the  dedication  of  this  house  of  God 
a  hundred  bullocks,  two  hundred  rams,  four  hundred

Le'vites  in  their  'courses,  for  the  service  of  God,  which  is  at

'upon  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  first  month.

all  of  them  were  pure,  and  "killed  the  pa.s8over  for  all  the

them  from  the  "'filthiness  of  the  heathen  of  the  land,  to  seek 
the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  did  eat, 

22  And  kept  the  "feast  of  unleavened  bread  seven  days,  with 
joy :  for  the  Loed  had  made  them  joyful,  and  'turned  the 
heart  °of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  unto  them,  to  strengthen  their 
hands  in  the  work  of  the  house  of  God,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

CHAF'TER  VII. 

The  gracious  commission  of  Artaxerxes  to  Ezra. 

"VrOW  after  these  things,  in  the  reign  of  ''Ar-tax-erx'es 
i-1  king  of  Per'si-a,  E/ra  the  son  of  &r-'a-i'ah,  °the  son  of 
Az-a-ri'aii,  the  son  of  IIil.^ki'ah, 

2  The  son  of  Shal'lum,  the  sonof  Za'dok,  the  son  of  A-hl'tub, 

3  The  son  of  Am-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Az-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of 
Me-ra'ioth, 

4  The  son  of  Zer-a-hi'ah,  the  son  of  Uz'zi,  the  son  of  Buk'ki, 

5  The  son  of  A-bish'u-a,  the  son  of  Phin'e-has,  the  son  of 
E-le-a'zar,  the  son  of  Aa'ron  the  chief  priest : 

6  This  Ez'ra  went  up  from  Bab'y-lon;  and  he  was  ''a. 
ready  scribe  ia  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  which  the  Lord  God 


8  Moreover  I  make  a  decree  what  ye  shall  do  to  these 
elders  of  the  Jews  for  the  building  of  this  house  of 
God :  that  of  the  king's  goods,  even  of  the  tribute 
beyond  the  river,  expenses  be  given  with  all  dili- 
gence  unto  these  men,  that  they  be  not  hindered. 

9  And  that  which  they  have  need  of,  both  young 
bullocks,  and  rams,  and  lambs,  for  burnt  offerings 
to  the  God  of  heaven,  wheat,  salt,  wine,  and  oil,  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  the  priests  which  are  at  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, let  it  be  given  them  day  by  day  without  fail : 

10  that  they  may  offer  sacrifices  of  sweet  savour  unto 
the  God  of  heaven,  and  pray  for  the  life  of  the  king, 

1 1  and  of  his  sons.  Also  I  have  made  a  decree,  that 
whosoever  shall  alter  this  word,  let  a  beam  be  pulled 
out  from  his  house,  and  let  him  be  lifted  up  and  fast- 
ened thereon ;  and  let   his  house  be  made  a  dunghill 

12 for  this:  and  the  God  that  hath  cau.sed  his  name  to 
dwell  there  overthrow  all  kings  and  peoples,  that 
shall  put  forth  their  hand  to  alter  the  same,  to  destroy 
this  house  of  God  which  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem.  I  Da-ri'us 
have  made  a  decree ;  let  it  be  done  with  all  diligence. 

13  Then  Tat' te-na-i,the  governor  beyond  the  river,  She- 
thar-boz'e-na-i  and  their  companions,  'because  that 
Da-ri'us  the  king  had  sent,  did  accordingly  with  all 

14  diligence.  And  the  elders  of  the  Jews  builded  and 
prospered  through  the  prophesying  of  Hag'ga-i  the 
prophet  and  Zech-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Id'do.  And  they 
builded  and  finished  it,  according  to  the  command- 
ment of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  according  to  the  de- 
cree of  Cy'rus  and  Da-ri'us,  and  Ar-tax-erx'es  king  of 

15  Per'si-a.  Ancl  this  house  was  finished  on  the  third 
day  of  the  month  A'dar,  which  was  in  the  sixth  year 

16  of  the  reign  of  Da-ri'us  the  king.  And  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  the  rest  of 
the  children  of  the  captivity,  kept  the  dedication  of 

17  this  house  of  God  with  joy.  And  they  offered  at 
the  dedication  of  this  house  of  God  an  hundred  bul- 
locks, two  hundred  rams,  four  hundred  lambs ;  and 
for  a  sin  offering  for  all  Is'ra-el,  twelve  he-goats,  ac- 

18  cording  to  the  number  of  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el.  And 
they  set  the  priests  in  their  divisions,  and  the  Le'vites 
in  their  courses,  for  the  service  of  God,  which  is  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem ;  as  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  Mo'ses. 

19  And  the  children  of  the  captivity  kept  the  pass- 
over    upon  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  first  month. 

20  For  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  had  purified  them- 
selves Hogether;  all  of  them  were  pure:  and  they 
killed  the  passover  for  all  the  children  of  the  cap- 
tivity, and  for  their  brethren   the  priests,  and  for 

21  themselves.  And  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  which  were 
come  again  out  of  the  captivity,  and  all  such  as  had 
separated  themselves  unto  them  from  the  filthiness 
of  the  heathen  of  the  land,  to  seek  the  Lord,  the 

22  God  of  Is'ra-el,  did  eat,  and  kept  the  feast  of  unleav- 
ened bread  seven  days  with  joy :  for  the  Lord  had 
made  them  joyful,  and  had  turned  the  heart  of  the 
kingof  As-syr'i-a  unto  them,  to  strengthen  their  hands 
in  the  work  of  the  house  of  God,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el. ;

"■according  to  the  hand  of  the  Lord  his  God  upon  him. 

7  -^And  there  went  up  some  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
of  the  priests,  and  "the  Le'vites,  and  the  singers,  and  the 
porters,  and  *the  Neth'i-nim,  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  in  the  seventh 
year  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king. 

8  And  he  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  the  fifth  month,  which 
was  in  the  seventh  year  of  the  king. 

9  For  upon  the  first  day  of  the  first  month  fbegan  he  to 
go  up  from  Bab'y-lon,  and  on  the  first  day  of  the  fifth  month 
came  he  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  'according  to  the  good  hand  of  his 
God  upon  him.- 

10  For  Ez'ra  had  prepared  his  heart  to  'seek  the  law  of 
the  Lord,  and  to  do  it,  and  to  'teach  in  Is'ra-el  statutes 
and  judgments. 

11  ^Now  this  is  the  copy  of  the  letter  that  the  king  Ar- 
tax-erx'es  gave  unto  Ez'ra  the  priest,  the  scribe,  even  a  scribe 
of  the  words  of  the  commandments  of  the  Lord,  and  of 
his  statutes  to  Is'ra-el. 

12  Ar-tax-erx'es,  "king  of  kings,  ||  Unto  E'zra  the  priest, 
a  scribe  of  the  law  of  the  God  of  heaven,  perfect  peace,  "and 
at  such  a  time. 

13  1  make  a  decree,  that  all  they  of  the  people  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
of  his  priests  and  Le'vites,  in  my  realm,  which  are  minded 
of  their  own  free  will  to  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  go  with  thee. 

14  Forasmuch  as  thou  art  sent  fof  the  king,and  of  his  "seven 
counsellors,  to  inquire  concerning  Ju'dah  aud  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
according  to  the  law  of  thy  God  which  is  in  thine  hand; 

15  And  to  carry  the  silver  and  gold,  which  the  king  and 
his  counsellors  have  freely  ofiercd  unto  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
''whose  habitation  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

16  "And  all  the  silver  and  gold  that  thou  canst  find  in  all 
the  province  of  Bab'y-lon,  with  the  freewill  offering  of  the 
people,  and  of  the  priests,  ""offering  willingly  for  the  house

17  That  thou  mayest  buy  speedily  with  this  money  bul-

drink  offerings,  aad  'offer  them  upon  the  altar  of  the  house 
of  your  God  which  is  in  Je-ru'salem. 

18  And  whatsoever  shall  seem  good  to  thee,  and  to  thy 
brethren,  to  do  with  the  rest  of  the  silver  and  the  gold,  that 
do  after  the  will  of  your  God. 

19  The  vessels  also  that  are  given  thee  for  the  service  of 
the  house  of  thy  God,  those  deliver  thou  before  the  God  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20  And  whatsoever  more  shall  be  needful  for  the  house  of 
thy  God,  which  thou  shalt  have  occasion  to  bestow,  bestow 
it  out  of  the  king's  treasure  house. 

21  And  I,  even  I  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king,  do  make  a  decree 
to  all  the  treasurers  which  are  beyond  the  river,  that  what- 
soever E'zra  the  priest,  the  scribe  of  the  law  of  the  God  of 
heaven,  shall  require  of  you,  it  be  done  speedily, 

22  Unto  a  hundred  talents  of  silver,  and  to  a  hundred  fmeas- 
ures  of  wheat,  and  to  a  hundred  baths  of  wine,  and  to  a  hun-

23  fWhatsoever  is  commanded  by  the  God  of  heaven,  let 
it  be  diligently  done  for  the  house  of  the  God  of  heaven : 
for  why  should  there  be  wrath  against  the  realm  of  the  king 
and  his  sons? 

24  Also  we  certify  you,  that,  touching  any  of  the  priests 
and  Le'vites,  singers,  porters,  Neth'i-nim,  or  ministers  of  this 
house  of  God,  it  shall  not  be  lawful  to  impose  toll,  tribute, 
or  custom,  upon  them. 

25  And  thou,  E'zra,  after  the  wisdom  of  thy  God,  that  is 
in  thine  hand,  "set  magistratesand  judges,  which  may  judge 
all  the  people  that  are  beyond  the  river,  all  such  as  know  the 
laws  of  thy  God ;  and  ''teach  ye  them  that  know  them  not. 

26  And  whosoever  will  not  do  the  law  of  thy  God,  and  the 
law  of  the  king,  let  judgment  be  executed  speedily  upon  him, 


of  Is'ra-el,  had   given :  and  the   king  granted  him 
all  his  request,  according  to  the  hand  of  the    Lord 

7  his  God  upon  him.  And  there  went  up  some  of 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and  of  the  priests,  and  the 
Le'vites,  and  the  singers,  and  the  porters,  and  the 
Neth'i-nim,  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  in  the  seventh  year  of 

8  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king.  And  he  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem 
in  the  fifth  month,  which  was  in  the  seventh  year  of  the 

9  king.  For  upon  the  first  day  of  the  first  month  'began 
he  to  go  up  from  Bab'y-lon,  and  on  the  first  day  of  the 

■    fifth  month  came  he  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  according  to  the 

10  good  hand  of  his  God  upon  him.  For  Ez'ra  had  set 
his  heart  to  seek  the  law  of  the  Lord,  and  to  do  it, 
and  to  teach  in  Is'ra-el  statutes  and  judgements. 

11  Now  this  is  the  copy  of  the  letter  that  the  king 
Ar-tax-erx'es  gave  unto  Ez'ra  the  priest,  the  scribe, 
even  the  scribe  of  the  words  of  the  commandments 

12  of  the  Lord,  and  of  his  statutes  to  Is'ra-el.  ^Ar-tax- 
erx'es,  king  of  kings,  unto  Ez'ra  the  priest,  the 
scribe  of  the  law  of  the  God  of  heaven,  perfect  and 

13  so  forth.  I  make  a  decree,  that  all  they  of  the 
people  of  Is'ra-el,  and  their  priests  and  the  Le'vites, 
in   my   realm,  which  are  minded  of  their  own  free 

14  will  to  go  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  go  with  thee.  Forasmuch 
as  thou  art  sent  'of  the  king  and  his  seven  coun- 
sellors, to  inquire  concerning  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
according  to  the  law  of  thy  God  which  is  in  thine 

15  hand ;  and  to  carry  the  silver  and  gold,  which  the 
king  and  his  counsellors  have  freely  offered  unto 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  whose  habitation  is  in  Je-pu'sa-lem, 

16  and  all  the  silver  and  gold  that  thou  shalt  find  in 
all  the  province  of  Bab'y-lon,  with  the  freewill  offer- 
ing of  the  people,  and  of  the  priests,  offering  will- 
ingly for  the  house  of  their  God  which  is  in  Je-f  u'- 

17sa-lem;  therefore  thou  shalt  with  all  diligence  buy 
with  this  money  bullocks,  rams,  lambs,  with  their 
meal  offerings  and  their  drink  offerings,  and  shalt 
offer  thtm  upon  the  altar  of  the  house  of  your  God 

1 8  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  whatsoever  shall  seem 
good  to  thee  and  to  thy  brethren  to  do  with  the 
rest  of  the  silver  and  the  gold,  that  do  ye  after  the 

19  will  of  your  God.  And  the  vessels  that  are  given 
thee  for  the  service  of  the  house  of  thy  God,  deliver 

20  thou  before  the  God  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  whatso- 
ever more  shall  be  needful  for  the  house  of  thy  God, 
which  thou  shalt  have  occasion  to  bestow,  bestow  it 

21  out  of  the  king's  treasure  house.  And  I,  even  I  Ar-tax- 
erx'es  the  king,  do  make  a  decree  to  all  the  treasurers 
which  are  beyond  the  river,  that  whatsoever  E'zra  the 
priest,  the  scribe  of  the  law  of  the  God  of  heaven, 
shall  require  of  you,  it  be  done  with  all  diligence, 

22  unto  an  hundred  talents  of  silver,  and  to  an  hundred 
■•measures  of  wheat,  and  to  an  hundred  baths  of  wine, 
and  to  an  hundred  baths  of  oil,  and  salt  without  pre- 

23  scribing  how  much.  Whatsoever  is  commanded  by 
the  God  of  heaven,  let  it  be  done  exactly  for  the  house 
of  the  God  of  heaven  ;  for  why-should  there  be  wrath 

24  against  the  realm  of  the  king  and  his  69ns?  Also 
we  certify  you,  that  touching  any  of  the  priests  and 
Le'vites,  the  singers,  porters,  Neth'i-nim,  or  servants 
of  this  house  of  God,  it  shall  not  be  lawful  to  impose 

25  tribute,  custom,  or  toll,  upon  them.  And  thou,  Ez'ra, 
after  the  wisdom  of  thy  God  that  is  in  thine  hand, 
appoint  magistrates  and  judges,  which  may  judge 
all  the  people  that  are  beyond  the  river,  all  such  as 
know  the  laws  of  thy  God ;  and  teach  ye  him  that 

26  knoweth  them  not.  And  whosoever  will  not  do 
the  law  of  thy  God,  and  the  law  of  the  king,  let 
judgement  be  executed  upon  him  with  all  diligence.

27  ^"Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  our  fathers,  'which 
hath  put  such  a  thing  as  this  in  the  king's  heart,  to  beautify 
the  house  of  the  Lord  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem : 

28  And  "hath  extended  mercy  unto  me  before  the  king,  and  his 
counsellors,  and  before  all  the  king's  mighty  princes.  And  I  was 
strengthened  as  ''the  hand  of  the  Lord  my  Godwasupon  me,  and 
I  gathered  together  out  of  Is'ra-el  chief  men  to  go  up  with  me. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Tke  companions  of  Ezra,  who  returned  from  Babylon. 

THESE  are  now  the  chief  of  their  fathers,  and  this  is  the 
genealogy  of  them  that  went  up  with  me  from  Bab'y- 
lon,  in  the  reign  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king. 

2  Of  the  sons  of  Phin'e-has;  Ger'shom:  of  the  sons  of

3  Of  the  sons  of  Shech-a-ni'ah,  of  the  sons  of  '^Pha'rosh ; 
Zech-a-ri'ah :  and  with  him  were  reckoned  by  genealogy  of 
the  males  a  hundred  and  fifty. 

4  Of  the  sons  of  Pa'hath-mo'ab ;  E-li-ho-e'na-i  the  son  of 
Zer-a-hi'ah,  and  with  him  two  hundred  males. 

5  Of  the  sons  of  Shech-a-ni'ah ;  the  son  of  Ja-ha'zi-el,  and 
with  him  three  hundred  males. 

6  Of  the  sons  also  of  A'din ;  E'bed  the  son  of  Jon'a-than, 
and  with  him  fifty  males. 

7  And  of  the  sons  of  E'lam;  Je-sha'iah  the  son  of  Ath-a- 
li'ah,  and  with  him  seventy  males. 

8  And  of  the  sons  of  Sheph-a-ti'ah ;  Zeb-a-di'ah  the  son 
of  Mi'chael,  and  with  him  fourscore  males. 

9  Of  the  sons  of  Jo'ab;  0-ba-''i'a'  the  son  of  Je-hi'el,and 
with  him  two  hundred  and  eighteen  males. 

10  And  of  the  sons  of  Shel'o-mith ;  the  son  of  Jos-i-phi'ah, 
and  with  him  a  hundred  and  threescore  males. 

11  And  of  the  sons  of  Beb'a-i ;  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of 
Beb'a-i,  and  with  him  twenty  and  eight  males. 

12  And  of  the  sons  of  Az'gad;  Jo-ha'nan  Hthe  son  of 
Hak'ka-tan,  and  with  him  a  hundred  and  ten  males. 

13  And  of  the  last  sons  of  A-don'i-kam,  whose  names  are 
these,  E-liph'e-let,  Je-i'el,  and  Shem-a-i'ah,  and  with  them 
threescore  males. 

14  Of  the  sons  also  of  Big'va-i;  U'tha-i,  and  ||Zab'bud, 
and  with  them  seventy  males. 

15  ^And  I  gathered  them  together  to  the  river  that  run- 
neth to  A-ha'va;  and  there  || abode  we  in  tents  three  days: 
and  I  viewed  the  people,  and  the  priests,  and  found  there 
none  of  the  ''sons  of  Le'vi. 

1 6  Then  sent  I  for  E-li-e'zer,for  A'ri-el,  for  Shem-a-i'ah,and 
for  El'na-than,  and  for  Ja'rib,  and  for  El'na-than,  and  for 
Na'than,and  for  Zech-a-ri'ah,and  for  Me-shul'lam,  chief  men ; 
also  for  Joi'a-rib,  and  for  El'na-than,  men  of  understanding. 

17  And  I  sent  them  with  commandment  unto  Id'do  the 
chief  at  the  place  Ca-siph'i-a,  and  fl  told  them  what  they 
should  say  unto  Id'do,  and  to  his  brethren  the  Neth'i-nim, 
at  the  place  Ca-siph'i-a,  that  they  should  bring  unto  us 
ministers  for  the  house  of  our  God. 

18  And  by  the  good  hand  of  our  God  upon  us  they 
'brought  us  a  man  of  understanding,  of  the  sons  of  Mah'li, 
the  son  of  Le'vi,  the  son  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  Sher-e-bi'ah,  with 
his  sons  and  his  brethren,  eighteen ; 

19  And  Hash-a-bi'ah,  and  with  him  Je-sha'iah  of  the  sons 
of  Mer'a-ri,  his  brethren  and  their  sons,  twenty ; 

20  ■'^Also  of  the  Neth'i-nim,  whom  Da'vid  and  the  princes 
had  appointed  for  the  service  of  the  Le'vites,  two  hundred  and 
twenty  Neth'i-nim :  all  of  them  were  expressed  by  name. 

21  ^Then  I  "proclaimed  a  fast  there,  at  the  river  of  A-ha'va, 
that  we  might  *afflict  ourselves  before  our  God,  to  seek  of  him  a 
•right  way  for  us,  and  forourlittleones,and  forall  oursubstance. 

22  For  *I  was  ashamed  to  require  of  the  king  a  band  of 
soldiers  and  horsemen  to  help  us  against  the  enemy  in  the 


whether  it  be  unto  death,  or  to  'banishment,  or  to 
confiscation  of  goods,  or  to  imprisonment. 

27  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of  our  fathers, 
which  hath  put  such  a  thing  as  this  in  the  king's 
heart,  to  beautify  the  house  of  the  Lord  which  is  in 

28  Je-ru'.sa-lem ;  and  hath  extended  mercy  unto  me  before 
the  king,  and  his  counsellors,  and  before  all  the  king's 
mighty  princes.  And  I  was  strengthened  according 
to  the  hand  of  the  Lord  my  God  upon  me,  and  I  gath- 
ered together  out  of  Is'ra-el  chief  men  to  go  up  with  me. 

O  Now  these  are  the  heads  of  their  fathers'  houses, 
and  this  is  the  genealogy  of  them  that  went  up  with 
me  from  Bab'y-lon,  in  the  reign  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  the 
2  king.  Of  the  sons  of  Phin'e-has,  Ger'shom  :  of  the 
sons  of  Ith'a-mar,  Dan'i-el :  of  the  sons  of  Da'vid, 
3Hat'tush.  Ofthe  sonsof  Shec-a-ni'ah;  ofthesonsof 
Pa'rosh,  Zech-a-ri'ah :  and  with  him  were  reckoned 

4  by  genealogy  of  the  males  an  hundred  and  fifty.     Of 
the  sons  of  Pa'hath-mo'ab,  E-li-e-ho-e'na-i  the  son  of 

5  Zer-a-hi'ah ;  and  with  him  two  hundred  males.     Of 
the  sons  of  Shec-a-ni'ah,  the  son  of  Ja-ha'zi-el;  and  with 

6  him  three  hundred  males.     And  of  the  sons  of  A'din, 
E'bed  the  son  of  Jon'a-than  ;  and  with  him  fifty  males. 

7  And  of  the  sons  of  E'lam,  Je-sha'iah  the  son  of  Ath-a- 

8  li'ah  ;  and  with  him  seventy  males.     And  of  the  sons 
of  Sheph-a-ti'ah,  Zeb-a-di'ah  the  son  of  Mi'chael ;  and 

9  with  him   fourscore   males.     Of  the   sons  of  Jo'ab, 
0-ba-di'ah  the  son  of  Je-hi'el;  and   with  him  two 

10  hundred  and  eighteen  males.  And  of  the  sons  of 
Shel'o-mith,  the  son  of  Jos-i-phi'ah ;  and  with  him  an 

11  hundred  and  threescore  males.  And  ofthe  sons  of 
Beb'a-i,  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Beb'a-i ;  and  with  him 

12  twenty  and  eight  males.  And  of  the  sons  of  Az'gad, 
Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Hak'ka-tan  ;  and  with  him  an 

13  hundred  and  ten  males.  And  of  the  sons  of 
A-don'i-kam,  that  were  the  last ;  and  these  are  their 
names,  E-liph'e-let,  Je-u'el,|and  Shem-a-i'ah,  and  with 

14  them  threescore  males.  And  of  the  sons  of  Big'va-i, 
U'tha-i  and  ^Zab'bud  ;  and  with  them  seventy  males. 

15  And  I  gathered  them  together  to  the  river  that 
runneth  to  A-ha'va;  and  there  we  encamped  three 
days :  and  I  viewed  the  people,  and  the  priests,  and 

16  found  there  none  ofthe  sons  of  Le'vi.  Then  sent  I  for 
E-li-e'zer,  for  A'riel,  for  Shem-a-i'ah  and  for  El'na-than, 
and  for  Ja'rib,  and  for  El'na-than,  and  for  Na'than  and 
for  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  for  Me-shul'lam,  chief  men  ;  also 
for  Joi'a-rib,  and  for  El'nathan,  'which  were  teachers 

17  And  *I  sent  them  forth  unto  Id'do  the  chief  at  the 
place  Ca-siph'i-a ;  and  I  told  them  what  they  should 
say  unto  'Id'do,  and  his  brethren  the  Neth'i-nim,  at 
the  place  Ca-siph'i-a,  that  they  should  bring  unto  us 

18  ministers  for  the  house  of  our  God.  And  according 
to  the  good  hand  of  our  God  upon  us  they  brought 
us  *a  man  of  discretion  of  the  sons  of  Mah'li,  tl 
son  of  Le'vi,  the  son  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  Sher-e-bi'ah, with 

19  his  sons  and  his  brethren,  eighteen;  and  Hash-a-bi'ah, 
and  with  him  Je-sha'iah  of  the  sons  of  Mer'a-ri,  his 

20  brethren  and  their  sons,  twenty ;  and  ofthe  Neth'i-nim,

service  of  the  Le'vites,  two  hundred  and  twenty 
Neth'i-nim :  all  of  them  were   expressed  by  name. 

21  Then  I  proclaimed  a  fast  there,  at  the  river  A-ha'va, 
that  we  might  humble  ourselves  before  our  God, 
to  seek  of  him  a  straight  way,  for  us,  and  for  our 

22  little  ones,  and  for  all  our  substance.  For  I  was

way :  because  we  had  spoken  unto  the  king,  saying, 'The  hand 
of  our  God  is  upon  all  them  for  "'good  that  seek  him;  but 
his  power  and  his  wrath  is  "against  all  them  that  "forsake  him. 

23  So  we  fasted  and  besought  our  God  for  this :  and  he 
was  ''entreated  of  us. 

24  ^Then  I  separated  twelve  of  the  chief  of  the  priests, 
Sher-e-bi'ah,  Hash-a-bi'ah,and  ten  of  their  brethren  with  them, 

25  And  weighed  unto  them  'the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and 
the  vessels,  even  the  oifering  of  the  house  of  our  God,  which 
the  king,  and  his  counsellors,  and  his  lords,  and  all  Is'ra-el 
<Aere  present,  had  offered  : 

26  I  even  weighed  unto  their  hand  six  hundred  and  fifty 
talents  of  silver,  and  silver  vessels  a  hundred  talents,  and 
of  gold  a  hundred  talents ; 

27  Also  twenty  basins  of  gold,  of  a  thousand  drams ;  and 
two  vessels  of  ffine  copper,  fprecious  as  gold. 

28  And  I  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  ""holy  unto  the  Lokd  ; 
the  vessels  are  'holy  also ;  and  the  silver  and  the  gold  are 
a  freewill  offering  unto  the  Lord  God  of  your  fathers. 

29  Watch  ye,  and  keep  them,  until  ye  weigh  them  before 
the  chief  of  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  and  chief  of  the 
fathers  of  Is'ra-el,  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  in  the  chambers  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

30  So  took  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  the  weight  of  the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  to  bring  them  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem unto  the  house  of  our  God. 

31  ^Then  we  departed  from  the  river  of  A-ha'va  on  the 
twelfth  da^/  of  the  first  month,  to  go  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem:  and'the 
hand  of  our  God  was  upon  us,  and  he  delivered  us  from  the 
hand  of  the  enemy,  and  of  such  as  lay  in  wait  by  the  way. 

32  And  we  "came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  abode  there  three  days. 

33  ^Now  on  the  fourth  day  was  the  silver  and  the  gold 
and  the  vessels  "'weighed  in  the  house  of  our  God  by  the 
hand  of  Mer'e-moth  the  son  of  U-ri'ah  the  priest ;  and  with 
him  was  E-le-a'zar  the  son  of  Phin'e-has;  and  with  them 
was  Joz'a-bad  the  son  of  Jesh'u-a,  and  No-a-di'ah  the  son 
of  Bin-nu'i,  Le'vites; 

34  By  number  and  by  weight  of  every  one :  and  all  the 
weight  was  written  at  that  time. 

35  Also  the  children  of  those  that  had  been  carried  away, 
which  were  come  out  of  the  captivity,  "offered  burnt  offer- 
ings unto  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  twelve  bullocks  for  all 
Is'ra-el,  ninety  and  six  rams,  seventy  and  seven  lambs, 
twelve  he-goats  for  a  sin  offering :  all  this  was  a  burnt  offer- 
ing unto  the  LoBD. 

36  ^And  they  delivered  the  king's  'commissions  unto  the 
king's  lieutenants,  and  to  the  governors  on  this  side  the  river : 
and  they  furthered  the  people,  and  the  house  of  God. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

Ezra  prayeth  unto  God  with  confession  o/ sins. 

"IVTOW  when  these  things  were  done,  the  princes  came  to 
i-^  me,  saying,The  people  of  Is'ra-el,  and  the  priests,  and  the 
Le'vites,  have  not  'separated  themselves  from  the  people  of 
the  lands,  'doing  according  to  their  abominations,  even  of  the 
Ca'naan-ites,  the  Hit'tites,  the  Per'iz-zites,the  Jeb'u-sites,the 
Am'mon-ites,the  Mo'ab-ites,  the  E-gy  p'tians,  and  the  Am'o-rites. 

2  For  they  have  ''taken  of  their  daughters  for  themselves, 
and  for  their  sons:  so  that  the  'holy  seed  have  -^mingled 
themselves  with  the  people  of  those  lands :  yea,  the  hand  of 
the  princes  and  ruler  hath  been  chief  in  this  trespass. 

3  And  when  I  heard  this  thing,  "I  rent  my  garment  and 
my  mantle,  and  plucked  off  the  hair  of  my  head  and  of  my 
beard,  and  sat  down  ''astonied. 

4  Then  were  assembled  unto  me  every  one  that  *trembled 
at  the  words  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  because  of  the  trans- 
gression of  those  that  had  been  carried  away;  and  I  sat 
astonied  until  the  ^evening  sacrifice. 

5  ^And  at  the  evening  sacrifice  I  arose  up  from  my 
II  heaviness;    and  having  rent  my  garment  and  my  mantle. 


way :  because  we  had  spoken  unto  the  king,  saying, 
The  hand  of  our  God  is  upon  all  them  that  seek  him, 
for  good ;  but  his  power  and  his  wrath  is  against  all 

23  them  that  forsake  him.     So  we  fasted  and  besought 

24  our  God  for  this :  and  he  was  intreated  of  us.  Then 
I  separated  twelve  of  the  chiefs  of  the  'priests,  ^even 
Sher-e-bi'ah,  Hash-a-bi'ah,  and  ten  of  their  brethren 

25  with  them,  and  weighed  unto  them  the  silver,  and 
the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  even  the  offering  for  the 
house  of  our  God,  which  the  king,  and  his  counsel- 
lors, and  his  princes,  and  all  Is'ra-el  there  present,  had 

26  offered :  I  even  weighed  into  their  hand  six  hundred 
and  fifty  talents  of  silver,  and  silver  vessels  an  hun- 

27  dred  talents;  of  gold  an  hundred  talents;  and  twenty 
bowls  of  gold,  of  a  thousand  darics  ;  and  two  vessels 

28  of  fine  bright  brass,  precious  as  gold.  And  I  said 
unto  them.  Ye  are  holy  unto  the  Lord,  and  the 
vessels  are  holy;  and  the  silver  and  the  gold  are  a 
freewill  offering  unto   the  Lord,  the  God  of  your 

29  fathers.  Watch  ye,  and  keep  them,  until  ye  weigh 
them  before  the  chiefs  of  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites, 
and  the  princes  of  the  fathers'  houses  of  Is'ra-el,  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  in  the  chambers  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

30  So  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  received  the  weight 
of  the  silver  and  the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  to  bring 
them  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the  house  of  our  God. 

31  Then  we  departed  from  the  river  of  A-ha'va  on  the 
twelfth  day  of  the  first  month,  to  go  unto  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  :  and  the  hand  of  our  God  was  upon  us,  and  he 
delivered  us  from  the  hand  of  the  enemy  and  the  lier 

32  in  wait  by  the  way.     And  we  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

33  and  abode  there  three  days.  And  on  the  fourth 
day  was  the  silver  and  the  gold  and  the  vessels 
weighed  in  the  house  of  our  God  Hnto  the  hand  of 
Mer'e-moth  the  son  of  U-ri'ah  the  priest ;  and  with 
him  was  E-le-a'zar  the  son  of  Phin  e-has;  and  with 
them  was  Joz'a-bad  the  son  of  Jesh'u-a,  and  No-a-di'ah 

34  the  son  of  Bin-nu'i,  the  Le'vites ;  the  whole  by  num- 
ber and  by  weight :  and  all  the  weight  was  written  at 

36  that  time.  The  children  of  the  captivity,  which  were 
come  out  of  exile,  offered  burnt  offerings  unto  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el,  twelve  bullocks  for  all  Is'ra-el,  ninety 
and  six  rams,  seventy  and  seven  lambs,  twelve  he- 
goats  for  a  sin  offering :  all  this  was  a  burnt  offering 

36  unto  the  Lord.  And  they  delivered  the  king's 
commissions  unto  the  king's  satraps,  and  to  the 
governors  beyond  the  river:  and  they  furthered 
the  people  and  the  house  of  God, 

V  Now  when  these  things  were  done,  the  princes 
drew  near  unto  me,  saying.  The  people  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  have  not  separated  them- 
selves from-the  peoples  of  the  lands,  doing  according 
to  their  abominations,  even  of  the  Ca'naan-ites,  the 
Hit'tites,  the  Per'iz-zites,  the  Jeb'u-sites,the  Am'mon- 
ites,  the  Mo'ab-ites,  the  E-gy  p'tians,  and  the  Am'o-rites. 

2  For  they  have  taken  of  their  daughters  tor  them- 
selves and  for  their  sons;  so  that  the  holy  seed 
have  mingled  themselves  with  the  peoples  of  the 
lands :  yea,  the  hand  of  the  princes  and  ^rulers  hath 

3  been  ''chief  in  this  trespass.  And  when  I  heard  this 
thing,  I  rent  my  garment  and  my  mantle,  and 
plucked  off  the  hair  of  my  head  and  of  my  beard, 

4  and  sat  down  astonied.  Then  were  assembled  unto 
me  every  one  that  trembled  at  the  words  of  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  because  of  the  trespass  of  them  of  the  cap- 
tivity ;  and  I  sat  astonied  until  the  evening  oblation. 

5  And  at  the  evening  oblation  I  arose  up  from  my  ^hu- 
miliation, even  with  my  garment  and  my  mantle  rent ;

I  fell  upon  my  knees,  and  'spread  out  my  hands  unto  the 
Lord  my  God, 

6  And  said,  O  my  God,  I  am  "ashamed  and  blush  to  lift 
up  my  face  to  thee,  my  God:  for  "our  iniquities  are  in- 
creased over  our  head,  and  our  ||  trespass  is  "grown  up  unto 
the  heavens. 

7  Since  the  days  of  our  fathers  have  "we  been  in  a  great 
trespass  unto  this  day ;  and  for  our  iniquities  'have  we,  our 
kings,  and  our  priests,  been  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
kings  of  the  lands,  to  the  sword,  to  captivity,  and  to  a  spoil, 
and  to  ''confusion  of  face,  as  it  is  this  day. 

8  And  now  for  a  flittle  space  grace  hath  been  shewed  from 
the  Lord  our  God,  to  leave  us  a  remnant  to  escape,  and  to 
give  us  II  a  nail  in  his  holy  place,  that  our  God  may  'lighten 
our  eyes,  and  give  us  a  little  reviving  in  our  bondage. 

9  'For  we  were  bondmen ;  "yet  our  God  hath  not  forsaken 
us  in  our  bondage,  but  ''hath  extended  mercy  unto  us  in  the 
sight  of  the  kings  of  Per'si-a,  to  give  us  a  reviving,  to  set  up 
the  house  of  our  God,  and  fto  repair  the  desolations  thereof, 
and  to  give  us  "a  wall  in  Ju'dah  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10  And  now,  O  our  God,  what  shall  we  say  after  this  ?  for 
we  have  forsaken  thy  commandments, 

11  Which  thou  hast  commanded  fby  thy  servants  the 
prophets,  saying,  The  land  unto  which  ye  go  to  possess  it, 
is  an  unclean  land  with  the  "filthiness  of  the  people  of  the 
lands,  with  their  abominations,  which  have  filled  it  ffrom 
one  end  to  another  with  their  uncleanness. 

12  Now  therefore  "give  not  your  daughters  unto  their 
sons,  neither  take  their  daughters  unto  your  sons,  'nor  seek 
their  peace  or  their  wealth  for  ever :  that  ye  may  be  strong, 
and  eat  the  good  of  the  land,  and  "leave  it  for  an  inheritance 
to  your  children  for  ever. 

13  And  after  all  that  is  come  upon  us  for  our  evil  deeds, 
and  for  our  great  trespass,  seeing  that  thou  our  God,  "'fhast 
punished  us  less  than  our  iniquities  deserve,  and  hast  given 
us  such  deliverance  as  this; 

14  Should  we  ''again  break  thy  commandments,  and -^join 
in  affinity  with  the  people  of  these  abominations?  wouldest 
not  thou  be  'angry  with  us  till  thou  hadst  consumed  ils,  so 
that  there  should  be  no  remnant  nor  escaping  ? 

15  O  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  *thou  art  righteous;  for  we 
remain  yet  escaped,  as  it  is  this  day :  behold,  we  are  'before 
thee  *in  our  trespasses;  for  we  cannot  'stand  before  thee 
because  of  this. 

CHAPTER   X. 

Mzra,  mourning,  assembleth  the  people. 

"RTOW  "^vhen  Ez'ra  had  prayed,  and  when  he  had  con- 
i-N  fessed,  weeping  and  casting  himself  down  'before  the  house 
of  God,  there  assembled  unto  him  out  of  Is'ra-el  a  very  great 
congregation  of  men  and  women  and  children:  for  the 
people  fwept  very  sore. 

2  And  Shech-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hi'el,  mie  of  the  sons  of 
E'lam,  answered  and  said  unto  Ez'ra,  We  have  "trespassed 
against  our  God,  and  have  taken  strange  wives  of  the  people 
of  the  land :  yet  now  there  is  hope  in  Is'ra-el  concerning  this 
thing. 

3  Now  therefore  let  us  make  a  ""covenant  with  our  God 
fto  put  away  all  the  wives,  and  such  as  are  born  of  them, 
according  to  the  counsel  of  my  lord,  and  of  those  that 
tremble  at  ■'^the  commandment  of  our  God ;  and  let  it  be 
done  according  to  the  law. 

4  Arise ;  for  this  matter  belongeth  unto  thee :  we  also  toill 
be  with  thee :  "be  of  good  courage,  and  do  it. 

5  Then  arose  Ez'ra,  and  made  the  chief  priests,  the  Le'vites, 
and  all  Is'ra-el,  *to  swear  that  they  should  do  according  to 
this  word.     And  they  sware. 

6  ^Then  Ez'ra  rose  up  from  before  the  house  of  God,  and 
went  into  the  chamber  of  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  E-li'a-shib : 
and  when  he  came  thither,  he  Mid  eat  no  bread,  nor  drink 


and  I  fell  upon  my  knees,  and  spread  out  my  hands 

6  unto  the  Lord  my  God ;  and  I  said,  O  my  God, 
I  am  ashamed  and  blush  to  lift  up  my  face  to 
thee,  my  God :  for  our  iniquities  are  increased  over 
our  head,  and  our  guiltiness  is  grown  up  unto  the 

7  heavens.  Since  the  days  of  our  fathers  we  have 
been  'exceeding  guilty  unto  this  day ;  and  for  our 
iniquities  have  we,  our  kings,  and  our  priests,  been 
delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  kings  of  the  lands,  to 
the  sword,  to  captivity,  and  to  spoiling,  and  to  con 

8  fusion  of  face,  as  it  is  this  day.  And  now  for  a  little 
moment  grace  hath  been  shewed  from  the  Lord  our 
God,  to  leave  us  a  remnant  to  escape,  and  to  give 
us  a  ^nail  in  his  holy  place,  that  our  God  may 
lighten  our  eyes,  and  give  us  a   little   reviving  in 

9  our  bondage.  For  we  are  bondmen ;  yet  our  God 
hath  not  forsaken  us  in  our  bondage,  but  hath  ex- 
tended mercy  unto  us  in  the  sight  of  the  kings  of 
Per'si-a,  to  give  us  a  reviving,  to  set  up  the  house  of 
our  God,  and  to  repair  the  ^ruins  thereof,  and  to 

10  give  us  a  ^wall  in  Ju  dah  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
now,  O  our  God,  what  shall  we  say  after  this?    for 

11  we  have  forsaken  thy  commandments,  which  thou 
hast  commanded  by  thy  servants  the  prophets, 
saying.  The  land,  unto  which  ye  go  to  possess  it,  is 
an  unclean  land  through  the  uncleanness  of  the  peo 
pies  of  the  lands,  through  their  abominations,  which 
have  filled  it  from  one  end  to  another  with  their  filthi 

12ness.     Now  therefore  give  not  your  daughters  unto 
their  sons,  neither  take  their  daughters  unto   your 
sons,  nor  seek  their  peace  or  their  prosperity  for  ever 
that  ye  may  be  strong,  and  eat  the  good  of  the  land, 
and  leave  it  for  an  inheritance  to  your  children  for 

13  ever.  And  after  all  that  is  come  upon  us  for  our  evil 
deeds,  and  for  our  great  guilt,  seeing  that  thou  our 
God  hast  punished  us  less  than  our  iniquities  deserve, 

14  and  hast  given  us  such  a  remnant,  shall  we  again  break 
thy  commandments,  and  join  in  affinity  with  the  peo 
pies  that  do  these  abominations?  wouldest  not  thou 
be  angry  with  us  till  thou  hadst  consumed  us,  so  that 

15 there  should  be  no  remnant,  nor  any  to  escape?  O 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  thou  art  righteous ;  for  we 
are  left  a  remnant  that  is  escaped,  as  it  is  this  day : 
behold,  we  are  before  thee  in  our  guiltiness ;  for  none 
can  stand  before  thee  because  of  this. 

+v  Now  while  Ez'ra  prayed,  and  made  confession, 
weeping  and  casting  himself  down  before  the  house 
of  God,  there  was  gathered  together  unto  him  out 
of  Is'ra-el  a  very  great  congregation  of  men  and 
women    and    children:    for  the  people   wept  very 

2  sore.  And  Shec-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hi'el,  one  of  the 
sons  of  E'lam,  answered  and  said  unto  Ez'ra,  We 
have  trespassed  against  our  God,  and  have  married 
strange  women  of  the  peoples  of  the  land :  yet  now 

3  there  is  hope  for  Is'ra-el  concerning  this  thing.  Now 
therefore  let  us  make  a  covenant  with  our  God  to 
put  away  all  the  wives,  and  such  as  are  born  of 
them,  according  to  the  counsel  of  'my  Icrd,  and  of 
those  that  tremble  at  the  commandment  of  our  God ; 

4  and  let  it  be  done  according  to  the  law.  Arise ;  for 
the  matter  belongeth   unto  thee,  and  we  are  with 

5 thee:  be  of  good  courage,  and  do  it.  Then  arose 
Ez'ra,  and  made  the  chiefs  of  the  priests,  the  Le'vites, 
and  all  Is'ra-el,  to  swear  that  they  would  do  accord- 

6  ing  to  this  word.  So  they  sware.  Then  Ez'ra  rose 
up  from  before  the  house  of  God,  and  went  into  the 
chamber  of  Je-ho-ha'nan  the  son  of  E-li'a-shib :  'and 
when  he  came  thither,  he  did  eat  no  bread,  nor  drick

that  had  been  carried  away. 

7  And  they  made  proclamation  throughout  Ju'dah  and 
Je-ru'sa-lem  untc  all  the  children  of  the  captivity,  that  they 
should  gather  themselves  together  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem; 

8  And  that  whosoever  would  not  come  within  three  days, 
according  to  the  counsel  of  the  princes  and  the  elders,  all 
his  substance  should  be  fforfeited,  and  himself  separated 
from  the  congregation  of  those  that  had  been  carried  away. 

9  ^Then  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and  Ben'ja-min  gathered 
themselves  together  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  within  three  days.  It 
was  the  ninth  month,  on  the  twentieth  day  of  the  month ; 
and  'all  the  people  sat  in  the  street  of  the  house  of  God, 
trembling  because  of  this  matter,  and  for  f  the  great  rain. 

10  And  Ez'ra  the  priest  stood  up,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye 
have  transgressed,  and  fhave  taken  strange  wives  to  in- 
crease the  trespass  of  Is'ra-el. 

11  Now  therefore  ""make  confession  unto  the  Lord  God  of 
your  fathers,  and  do  his  pleasure;  and  "separate  yourselves 
from  the  people  of  the  land,  and  from  the  strange  wives. 

12  Then  all  the  congregation  answered  and  said  with  a 
loud  voice.  As  thou  hast  said,  so  must  we  do. 

13  But  the  people  are  many,  and  it  isa  time  of  much  rain,  and 
we  are  notable  to  stand  without,neither  is  this  a  work  of  one  day 
or  two :  for  ||  we  are  many  that  have  transgressed  in  this  thing. 

14  Let  now  our  rulers  of  all  the  congregation  stand,  and 
let  all  them  which  have  taken  strange  wives  in  our  cities 
come  at  appointed  times,  and  with  them  the  elders  of  every 
city,  and  the  judges  thereof,  until  "the  fierce  wrath  of  our 
God  II  for  this  matter  be  turned  from  us, 

15  •[[Only  Jon'a-than  the  son  of  A'sa-hel  and  Ja-ha-zi'ah  the 
son  of  Tik'vah  fwere  employed  about  this  matter:  and 
Me-shul'lam  and  Shab-beth'a-i  the  Le'vite  helped  them. 

16  And  the  children  of  the  captivity  did  so.  And  Ez'ra 
the  priest,  with  certain  chief  of  the  fathers,  after  the  house  of 
their  fathers,  and  all  of  them  by  their  names,  were  separated, 
and  sat  down  in  the  first  day  of  the  tenth  month  to  ex- 
amine the  matter. 

17  And  they  made  an  end  with  all  the  men  that  had  taken 
strange  wives  by  the  first  day  of  the  first  month. 

18  •jJAnd  among  the  sons  of  the  priests  there  were  found

E-li-e'zer,  and  Ja'rib,  and  Ged-a-li'ah, 

19  And  they  "gave  their  hands  that  they  would  put  away 
their  wives ;  and  being  'guilty,  they  offered  a  ram  of  the  flock 
for  their  trespass.

7  them  of  the  captivity.  And  they  made  proclama- 
tion throughout  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  all  the 
children  of  the  captivity,  that  they  should   gather

counsel  of  the  princes  and  the  elders,  all  his  sub- 
stance should  be  'forfeited,  and   himself  separated

together  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  within  the  three  days :  it 
was  the  ninth  month,  on  the  twentieth  day  of  the 
month:  and  all  the  people  sat  in  the  broad  place 
before  the  house  of  God,  trembling  because  of  this 

10  matter,  and  for  Hhe  great  rain.  And  Ez'ra  the  priest 
stood  up,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye  have  trespassed,

11  guilt  of  Is'ra-el.  Now  therefore  'make  confession 
unto  the  Lord,  the  God  of  your  fathers,  and  do  his 
pleasure:  and  separate  yourselves  from  the  peoples

voice,  *As  thou  hast  said  concerning  us,  so  must  we 

13  do.  But  the  people  are  many,  and  it  is  a  time  of 
much  rain,  and  we  are  not  able  to  stand  without,

14  have  greatly  transgressed  in  this  matter.  Let  now 
our  princes  'be  appointed  for  all  the  congregation, 
and  let  all  them  that  are  in  our  cities  which  have 
married  strange  women  come  at  appointed  times, 
and  with  them  the  elders  of  every  city,  and  the 
judges  thereof,  until  the  fierce  wrath  of  our  God 
be  turned  from  us,  'until  this  matter  be  despatched 

1 5  Only  Jon'a-than  the  son  of  A'sa-hel  and  Jah-ze-i'ah  the 
son  of  Tik'vah  'stood  up  against  this  matter :  and 
Me-shul'lam  and  Shab-beth'a-i  the  Le'vite  helped  them 

16  And  the  children  of  the  captivity  did  so.  And  Ez'ra 
the  priest,  with  certain  heads  of  fathers'  houses,  after 
their  fathers'  houses,  and  all  of  them  by  their  names, 
were  separated;  and  they  sat  down  in  the  first  day 

17  of  the  tenth  month  to  examine  the  matter.  And 
they  made  an  end  with  all  the  men  that  had  married 
strange  women  by  the  first  day  of  the  first  month. 

18  And  among  the  sons  of  the  priests  there  were  found 
that  had  married  strange  women :  namely,  of  the  sons 
of  Jesh'u-a,the  son  of  Joz'a-dak,and  his  brethren,  Ma-a- 

19  se'iah,andE-li-e'zer,andJa'rib,and Ged-a-li'ah.  Andthey 
gave  their  hand  that  they  would  put  away  their  wives ; 
and  being  guilty,  they  offered  a  ram  of  the  flock  for 

20  their  guilt.  And  of  the  sons  of  Im'mer ;  Ha-na'ni  and 

21  Zeb-a-di'ah.  And  of  the  sons  of  Ha'rim;  Ma-a-se'iah  and

CHAPTER  I. 

Nehemiah  mourneth,  fasteth,  and  prayelh. 

THE  words  of  "Ne-he-mi'ah  the  son  of  Hach-a-li'ah.    And 
it  came  to  pass  in  the  month  Chis'leu,  in  the  twentieth 
year,  as  I  was  in  Shu'shan  the  palace, 

2  That  Ha-na'ni,  one  of  my  brethren,  came,  he  and  certain 
men  of  Ju'dah ;  and  I  asked  them  concerning  the  Jews  that 
had  escaped,  which  were  left  of  the  captivity,  and  concern- 
ing Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  they  said  unto  me,  The  remnant  that  are  left  of  the 
captivity  there  in  the  province  are  in  great  affliction  and  re- 
proach :  ''the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  also  "is  broken  down,  and 
the  gates  thereof  are  burned  with  fire. 

4  *ltAnd  it  came  to  pass,  when  I  heard  these  words,  that  I 
sat  down  and  wept,  and  mourned  certain  days,  and  fasted, 
and  prayed  before  the  God  of  heaven, 

5  And  said,  I  beseech  thee,  ''O  Lord  God  of  heaven,  the 
;reat  and  terrible  God,  'that  keepeth  covenant  and  mercy 
or  them  that  love  him  and  observe  his  commandments : 

6  Let  thine  ear  now  be  attentive,  and  •'^thine  eyes  open, 
that  thou  mayest  hear  the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  which  I 

Eray  before  thee  now,  day  and  night,  for  the  children  of 
s'ra-el  thy  servants,  and  "confess  the  sins  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  we  have  sinned  against  thee  :  both  I  and  my 
father's  house  have  sinned. 

7  *We  have  dealt  very  corruptly  against  thee,  and  have 
'not  kept  the  commandments,  nor  the  statutes,  nor  the  judg- 
ments, which  thou  commandedst  thy  servant  Mo'ses. 

8  Remember,  I  beseech  thee,  the  word  that  thou  com- 
mandedst thy  servant  Mo'ses,  saying,  ''If  ye  transgress,  I 
will  scatter  you  abroad  among  the  nations : 

9  'But  if  ye  turn  unto  me,  and  keep  my  commandments, 
and  do  them ;  "though  there  were  of  you  cast  out  unto  the 
uttermost  part  of  the  heaven,  yet  will  I  gather  them  from 
thence,  and  will  bring  them  unto  the  place  that  I  have 
chosen  to  set  my  name  there. 

10  "Now  these  are  thy  servants  and  thy  people,  whom  thou 
hast  redeemed  by  thy  great  power,  and  by  thy  strong  hand. 

no  Lord,  I  beseech  thee,  "let  now  thine  ear  be  attentive 
to  the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to  the  prayer  of  thy  serv- 
ants, who  Mesire  to  fear  thy  name :  and  prosper,  I  pray 
thee,  thy  servant  this  day,  and  grant  him  mercy  in  the  sight 
of  this  man.     For  I  was  the  king's  "cupbearer.

i  The  'words  of  Ne-he-mi'ah  the  son  of  Hac-a-li'ah. 
Now  it  came  to  pass  in  the  month  Chis'lev,  ^in  the 

2  twentieth  year,  as  I  was  in  Shu'shan  the  'palace,  that 
Ha-na'ni,  one  of  my  brethren,  came,  he  and  certain 
men  out  of  Ju'dah ;  and  I  asked  them  concerning  the 
Jews  that  had  escaped,  which  were  left  of  the  cap- 

3tivity,  and  concerning  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  they  said 
unto  me.  The  remnant  that  are  left  of  the  captivity 
there  in  the  province  are  in  great  affliction  and  re- 
proach :  the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  also  is  broken  down, 

4  and  the  gates  thereof  are  burned  with  fire.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  I  heard  these  words,  that  I  sat 
down  and  wept,  and  mourned  certain   days ;  and  I 

5  fasted  and  prayed  before  the  God  of  heaven,  and 
said,  I  beseech  thee,  O  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven, 
the  great  and  terrible  God,  that  keepeth  covenant 
and  mercy  with  them  that  love  him  and  keep  his 

6  commandments :  let  thine  ear  now  be  attentive,  and 
thine  eyes  open,  that  thou  mayest  hearken  unto  the 
prayer  of  thy  servant,  which  I  pray  before  thee  at 
this  time,  day  and  night,  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
thy  servants,  while  I  confess  the  sins  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el,  which  we  have  sinned  against  thee :  yea, 

71  and  my  father's  house  have  sinned.  We  liave 
dealt  very  corruptly  against  thee,  and  have  not  kept 
the  commandments,  nor  the  statutes,  nor  the  judge- 
ments, which  thou  commandedst  thy  servant  Mo'ses. 

8  Remember,  I  beseech  thee,  the  word  that  thou  com- 
mandedst thy  servant  Mo'ses,  saying.  If  ye  trespass, 

9 1  will  scatter  you  abroad  among  the  peoples :  but  if 
ye  return  unto  me,  and  keep  my  commandments  and 
do  them,  though  your  outcasts  were  in  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  heaven,  yet  will  I  gather  them  from  thence, 
and  wil!  bring  them  unto  the  place  that  I  have  chosen 

10  to  cause  my  name  to  dwell  there.  Now  these  are  thy 
servants  and  thy  people,  whom  thou  hast  redeemed  by 

11  thy  great  power,  and  by  thy  strong  hand.  O  Lord,  I 
beseech  thee,  let  now  thine  ear  be  attentive  to  the 
prayer  of  thy  servant,and  to  the  prayer  of  thy  servants, 
who  delight  to  fear  thy  name :  and  prosper,  I  pray 
thee,  thy  servant  this  day,  and  grant  him  mercy  in  the 
sight  of  this  man.    (Now  I  was  cupbearer  to  the  king.)

Ariaxerxes  sendeth  Nehemiak  tojerusalem. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  month  Ni'san,  in  the  twen- 
tieth year  of  "Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king,  that  wine  was  before 
him :  and  'I  took  up  the  wine,  and  gave  it  unto  the  king. 
Now  I  had  not  been  beforetime  sad  in  his  presence. 

2  Wherefore  the  king  said  unto  me,  Why  is  thy  counte- 
nance sad,  seeing  thou  art  not  sick?  this  is  nothing  else  but 
"sorrow  of  heart.     Then  I  was  very  sore  afraid, 

3  And  said  unto  the  king,  ''Let  the  king  live  for  ever: 
why  should  not  my  countenance  be  sad,  when  'the  city,  the 
place  of  my  fathers'  sepulchres,  lieth  waste,  and  the  gates 
thereof  are  consumed  with  fire  ? 

4  Then  the  king  said  unto  me,  For  what  dost  thou  make 
request?     So  I  prayed  to  the  God  of  heaven. 

5  And  I  said  unto  the  king.  If  it  please  the  king,  and  if 
thy  servant  have  found  favour  in  thy  sight,  that  thou 
wouldest  send  me  unto  Ju'dah,  unto  the  city  of  my  fethers' 
sepulchres,  that  I  may  build  it. 

6  And  the  king  said  unto  me,  (the  fqueen  also  sitting  by 
him,)  For  how  long  shall  thy  journey  be?  and  when  wilt 
thou  return?  So  it  pleased  the  king  to  send  me;  and  I 
set  him  -'a  time. 

7  Moreover  I  said  unto  the  king.  If  it  please  the  king, 
let  letters  be  given  me  to  the  governors  beyond  the  river, 
that  they  may  convey  me  over  till  I  come  into  Ju'dah ; 

8  And  a  letter  unto  A'saph  the  keeper  of  the  king's  forest, 
that  he  may  give  me  timber  to  make  beams  for  the  gates  of 
the  palace  which  appertained  "to  the  house,  and  for  the  wall 
of  the  city,  and  for  the  house  that  I  shall  enter  into.  And 
the  king  granted  me,  'according  to  the  good  hand  of  my 
God  upon  me. 

9  ^Then  I  came  to  the  governors  beyond  the  river,  and 
gave  them  the  king's  letters.  Now  the  king  had  sent  cap- 
tains of  the  army  and  horsemen  with  me. 

1 0  When  San-bal'lat  the  Hor'o-nite,  and  To-bi'ah  the  servant, 
the  Am'mon-ite  heard  it,  it  grieved  them  exceedingly  that  there 
was  come  a  man  to  seek  the  welfare  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

11  So  I  'came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  was  there  three  days. 

12  ^And  I  arose  in  the  night,  I  and  some  few  men  with 
me;  neither  told  I  any  man  what  my  God  had  put  in  my 
heart  to  do  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  neither  was  there  any  beast  with 
me,  save  the  beast  that  I  rode  upon. 

13  And  I  went  out  by  night  *  by  the  gate  of  the  valley, 
even  before  the  dragon  well,  and  to  the  dung  port,  and 
viewed  the  walls  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  were  'broken  down, 
and  the  gates  thereof  were  consumed  with  fire. 

14  Then  I  went  on  to  the  ""gate  of  the  fountain,  and  to  the 
king's  pool:  but  there  was  no  place  for  the  beast  thai  was 
under  me  to  pass. 

15  Then  went  I  up  in  the  night  by  the  "brook,  and  viewed 
the  wall,  and  turned  back,  and  entered  by  the  gate  of  tiie 
valley,  and  so  returned. 

16  And  the  rulers  knew  not  whither  I  went,  or  what  I 
did;  neither  had  I  as  yet  told  it  to  the  Jews,  nor  to  the 
priests,  nor  to  the  nobles,  nor  to  the  rulers,  nor  to  the  rest 
that  did  the  work. 

17  ^Then  said  I  unto  them,  Ye  see  the  distress  that  we 
are  in,  how  Je-ru'sa-lem  lieth  waste,  and  the  gates  thereof  are 
burned  with  fire:  come,  and  let  us  build  up  the  wall  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  that  we  be  no  more  "a  reproach. 

18  Then  I  told  them  of  "the  hand  of  my  God  which  was 
good  upon  me;  as  also  the  king's  words  that  he  had 
spoken  unto  me.  And  they  said,  Let  us  rise  up  and  build. 
So  they  'strengthened  their  hands  for  this  good  work. 

19  ButwhenSan-bal'lattheHor'o-nite,  and  To-bi'ah  the  serv- 
ant, the  Am'mon-ite,  and  Ge'shem  the  A-ra'bi-an,  heard  it, 
they  'laughed  us  to  scorn,  and  despised  us,  and  said,  What 
is  this  thing  that  ye  do?  'will  ye  rebel  against  the  king? 


^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  month  Ni'san,  in  the 
twentieth  year  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king,  when  wine 
was  before  him,  that  I  took  up  the  wine,  and  gave 
it  unto  the  king.     Now  I  had  not  been  beforetime 

2  sad  in  his  presence.  And  the  king  said  unto  me. 
Why  is  thy  countenance  sad,  seeing  thou  art  not 
sick?  this  is  nothing  else  but  sorrow  of  heart.     Then 

3 1  was  very  sore  afraid.  And  I  said  unto  the  king. 
Let  the  king  live  for  ever:  why  should  not  my 
countenance  be  sad,  when  the  city,  the  place  of  my 
fathers'  sepulchres,  lieth  waste,  and  the  gates  thereof 

4  are  consumed  with  fire?  Then  the  king  said  unto 
me.  For  what  dost  thou  make  request?     So  I  prayed 

5  to  the  God  of  heaven.  And  I  said  unto  the  king, 
If  it  please  the  king,  and  if  thy  servant  have  found 
favour  in  thy  sight,  that  thou  wouldest  send  me  unto 
Ju'dah,  unto  the  city  of  my  fathers'  sepulchres,  that 

61  may  build  it.  And  the  king  said  unto  me,  (the 
queen  also  sitting  by  him,)  For  how  long  shall  thy 
journey  be?  and  when  wilt  thou  return?  So  it 
pleased  the  king  to  send  me;  and  I  set  him  a  time. 

7  Moreover  I  said  unto  the  king.  If  it  please  the  king, 
let  letters  be  given  me  to  the  governors  beyond  the 
river,  that  they  may  let  me  pass  through  till  I  come 

8  unto  Ju'dah;  and  a  letter  unto  A'saph  the  keeper  of 
the  king's  'forest,  that  he  may  give  me  timber  to 
make  beams  for  the  gates  of  the  castle  which  ap- 
pertaineth  to  the  house,  and  for  the  wall  of  the  city, 
and  for  the  house  that  I  shall  enter  into.  And  the 
king  granted  me,  according  to  the  good  hand  of  my 

9  God  upon  me.  Then  I  came  to  the  governors  be- 
yond the  river,  and  gave  them  the  king's  letters- 
Now  the  king  had  sent  with  me  captains  of  the  army 

10  and  horsemen.  And  when  San-bal'lat  the  Hor'o-nite, 
and  To-bi'ah  the  servant,  the  Am'mon-ite,  heard  of  it, 
it  grieved  them  exceedingly,  for  that  there  was  come 
a  man  to  seek  the  welfare  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

11  So  I  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  was  there  three  days. 

12  And  I  arose  in  the  night,  I  and  some  few  men  with 
me;  neither  told  I  any  man  what  my  God  put  into 
my  heart  to  do  for  Je-ru'sa-lem :  neither  was  there  any 
beast  with   me,  save  the  beast  that  I   rode  upon 

13  And  I  went  out  by  night  by  the  valley  gate,  even 
toward  the  dragon's  well,  and  to  the  dung  gate,  and 
viewed  the  walls  of  Je-ru'salem,  which  were  broken 
down,  and  the  gates  thereof  were  consumed  with 

14  fire.  Then  I  went  on  to  the  fountain  gate  and  to 
the  king's  pool :  but  there  was  no  place  for  the  beast 

15  that  was  under  me  to  pass.  Then  went  I  up  in  the 
night  by  the  brook,  and  viewed  the  wall;  and  I 
turned  back,  and  entered  by  the  valley  gate,  and  so 

16  returned.  And  the  ^rulers  knew  not  whither  I  went, 
or  what  I  did;  neither  had  I  as  yet  told  it  to  the 
Jews,  nor  to  the  priests,  nor  to  the  nobles,  nor  to 

17  the  ^rulers,  nor  to  the  rest  that  did  the  work.  Then 
said  I  unto  them,  Ye  see  the  evil  case  that  we  are 
in,  how  Je-ru'sa-lem  lieth  waste,  and  the  gates  thereof 
are  burned  with  fire:  come  and  let  us  build  up  the 
wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  we  be  no  more  a  reproach. 

18  And  I  told  them  of  the  hand  of  my  God  which 
was  good  upon  me;  as  also  of  the  king's  words 
that  he  had  spoken  unto  me.  And  they  said.  Let 
us  rise  up  and  build.      So  they  strengthened  their 

19  hands  for  the  good  work.  But  when  San-bal'lat 
the  Hor'o-nite,  and  To-bi'ah  the  servant,  the  Am'mon- 
ite,  and  Ge'shem  the  A-ra'bi-an,  heard  it,  they  laughed 
us  to  scorn,  and  despised  us,  and  said,  What  is 
this  thing  that  ye  do?  will  ye  rebel  against  the  king?

CHAPTER   IV. 

iVhile  the  enemies  scojff,  Nehemiah  prayeth. 

BUT  it  came  to  pass,  "that  when  San-bal'lat  heard  that  we 
builded  the  wall,  he  was  wroth,  and  took  great  indigna- 
tion, and  mocked  the  Jews. 

2  And  he  spake  before  his  brethren,  and  the  army  of 
Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  said,  What  do  these  feeble  Jews  ?  will  they 
ffortify  themselves?  will  they  sacrifice?  will  they  make  an 
end  in  a  day  ?  will  they  revive  the  stones  out  of  the  heaps 
of  the  rubbish  which  are  burned. 

3  Now  ''To-bi'ah  the  Am'mon-ite  was  by  him,  and  he  said, 
Even  that  which  they  build,  if  a  fox  go  up,  he  shall  even 
break  down  their  stone  wall. 

4  "Hear,  O  our.  God;  for  we  are  fdespised:  and  ''turn 
their  reproach  upon  their  own  head,  and  give  them  for  a 
prey  in  the  land  of  captivity ; 

5  And  'cover  not  their  iniquity,  and  let  not  their  sin  be 
blotted  out  from  before  thee :  for  they  have  provoked  thee 
to  anger  before  the  builders. 

6  So  built  we  the  wall ;  and  all  the  wall  was  joined  to- 
gether unto  the  half  thereof:  for  the  people  had  a  mind 
to  work. 

7  ^But  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  -^San-bal'lat,  and  To-bi'ah, 
and  the  A-ra'bi-ans,  and  the  Am'mon-ites,  and  the  Ash'dod- 
ites,  heard  that  the  walls  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  fwere  made  up, 
and  that  the  breaches  began  to  be  stopped,  then  they  were 
very  wroth. 

8  And  "conspired  all  of  them  together  to  come  and  to 
fight  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  fto  hinder  it. 

9  Nevertheless  'we  made  our  prayer  unto  our  God,  and 
set  a  watch  against  them  day  and  night,  because  of  them. 


20Aft«r  him  Ba'ruch  the  son  of 'Zab'bai  earnestly  re 
paired  another  portion,  from  the  turning  of  the  wall 
unto  the  door  of  the  house  of  E-li'a-shib  the  high  priest, 

21  After  him  repaired  Mer'e-moth  the  son  of  U-ri'ah  the 
son  of  Hak'koz  another  portion  from  the  door  of  the 
house  of  E-li'a-shib  even  to  the  end  of  the  house  of 

22  E-li'a-shib.     And  after  him  repaired  the  priests,  the 

23  men  of  the  ^Plain.  After  Hhem  repaired  Ben'ja-min 
and  Has'shub  over  against  their  house.  After  Hhem 
repaired  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  son  of 

24  An-a-ni'ah  beside  his  own  house.  After  him  repaired 
Bin'nu-ithesonofHen'a-dadanotherportion,fromthe 
house  of  Az-a-ri'ah  unto  the  turning  of  the  wall,  and 

25  unto  the  corner.  Pa'lal  the  son  of  U'za-i  repaired 
over  against  the  turning  of  the  wall,  and  Hhe  tower 
that  standeth  out  from  the  upper  house  of  the  king, 
which   is  by  the  court  of  the   guard.     After   him 

26  *Pe-da'iah  the  son  of  Pa'rosh  repaired.  (Now  the 
Neth'i-nim  dwelt  in  O'phel,  unto  the  place  over 
against  the  water  gate  toward   the   east,    and    the 

27  tower  that  standeth  out.)  After  him  the  Te-ko'ites 
repaired  another  portion,  over  against  the  great 
tower  that  standeth  out,  and  unto  the  wall  of  O'phel. 

28  Above  the  horse  gate  repaired  the  priests,  every  one 

29  over  against  his  own  house.  After  Hhem  repaired 
Za'dok  the  son  of  Im'mer  over  against  his  own 
house.     And  after  him  repaired  Shem-a-i'ah  the  son 

30  of  Shec-a-ni'ah  the  keeper  of  the  east  gate.  After 
him  repaired  Han-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Shel-e-mi'ah,  and 
Ha'nun  the  sixth  son  of  Za'laph,  another  portion. 
After  him  repaired  Me-shul'lam  the  son  of  Ber-e-chi'ah 

31  over  against  his  chamber.  After  him  repaired 
Mal-chi'jah  one  of  the  goldsmiths  unto  the  house  of 
the  Neth'i-nim  and  of  the  merchants,  over  against 
the  gate  of  Ham'miph-kad,  and  to  the  *ascent  of  the 

32  corner.  And  between  the  "ascent  of  the  corner  and 
the  sheep  gate  repaired  the  goldsmiths  and  the 
merchants. 

^  But  it  came  to  pass  that,  when  San-bal'lat  heard 
that  we  builded  the  wall,  he  was  wroth,  and  took 

2  great  indignation,  and  mocked  the  Jews.  And  he 
spake  before  his  brethren  and  the  army  of  Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and  said.  What  do  these  feeble  Jews?  ^will  they 
fortify  themselves?  will  they  sacrifice?  will  they 
make  an  end  in  a  day  ?  will  they  revive  the  stones 
out  of  the  heaps  of  rubbish,  seeing  they  are  burned  ? 

3  Now  To-bi'ah  the  Am'mon-ite  was  by  him, and  he  said, 
Even  that  which  they  build,  if  a  'fox  go  up,  he  shall 

4 break  down  their  stone  wall.  Hear,  O  our  God; 
for  we  are  despised :  and  turn  back  their  reproach 
upon  their  own  head,  and  give  them  up  to  spoiling 

5  in  a  land  of  captivity:  and  cover  not  their  iniquity, 
and  let  not  their  sin  be  blotted  out  from  before  thee: 
for  they  have  provoked   thee  to   anger  before  the 

6 builders.  So  we  built  the  wall;  and  all  the  wall 
was  joined  together  unto  half  the  height  thereof:  for 
the  people  had  a  mind  to  work. 

7  But  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  San-bal'lat,  and  To- 
bi'ah,  and  the  A-ra'bi-ans,  and  the  Am'mon-ites,  and  the 
Ash'dod-ites,  heard  that  Hhe  repairing  of  the  walls  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  went  forward,  and  that  the  breaches  be- 

8  gan  to  be  stopped,  then  they  were  very  wroth  ;  and 
they  conspired  all  of  them  together  to  come  and  fight 
against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  to  cause  confusion  therein. 

9  But  we  made  our  prayer  unto  our  God,  and  set  a 
watch  against  them  day  and  night,  because  of  them.

10  And  Ju-dah  said,  The  strength  of  the  bearers  of  burdens 
is  decayed,  and  there  w  much  rubbish;  so  that  we  are  not 
able  to  build  the  wall. 

11  And  our  adversaries  said.  They  shall  not  know,  neither 
see,  till  we  come  in  the  midst  among  them,  and  slay  them, 
and  cause  the  work  to  cease. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  the  Jews  which  dwelt 
by  them  came,  they  said  unto  us  ten  times,  l|From  all  places 
whence  ye  shall  return  unto  us  they  will  be  upon  you. 

13  ^Therefore  set  I  fin  the  lower  peaces  behind  the  wall, 
and  on  the  higher  places,  I  even  set  the  people  after  their 
families  with  their  swords,  their  spears,  and  their  bows. 

14  And  I  looked,  and  rose  up,  and  said  unto  the  nobles, 
and  to  the  rulers,  and  to  the  rest  of  the  people,  'Be  not  ye 
afraid  of  them:  remember  the  Loed  which  is  *great  and 
terrible,  and  'fight  for  your  brethren,  your  sons,  and  your 
daughters,  your  wives,  and  your  houses. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  our  enemies  heard  that  it 
was  known  unto  us,  "and  God  had  brought  their  counsel  to 
nought,  that  we  returned  all  of  us  to  the  wall,  every  one  unto 
his  work. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  from  that  time  forth,  that  the  half  of 
my  servants  wrought  in  the  work,  and  the  other  half  of  them 
held  both  the  spears,  the  shields,  and  the  bows,  and  the 
habergeons;  and  the  rulers  were  behind  all  the  house  of  Ju'dah. 

17  They  which  builded  on  the  wall,  and  they  that  bare 
burdens,  with  those  that  laded,  every  one  with  one  of  his 
hands  wrought  in  the  work,  and  with  the  other  hand  held 
a  weapon. 

18  For  the  builders,  every  one  had  his  sword  girded  fby 
his  side,  and  so  builded.  And  he  that  sounded  the  trumpet 
was  by  me. 

19  IT  And  I  said  unto  the  nobles,  and  to  the  rulers,  and  to 
the  rest  of  the  people.  The  work  is  great  and  large,  and  we 
are  separated  upon  the  wall,  one  far  from  another. 

20  In  what  place  therefore  ye  hear  tbo  sound  of  the  trumpet, 
resort  ye  thither  unto  us :  "our  God  shall  fight  for  us. 

21  So  we  laboured  in  the  work :  and  half  of  them  held 
the  spears  from  the  rising'  of  the  morning  till  the  stars 
appeared. 

22  Likewise  at  the  same  time  sa'3  I  unto  the  people.  Let 
every  one  with  his  servant  lodge  within  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  iu 
the  night  they  may  be  a  guard  to  ij-:,  and  labour  on  the  day. 

23  So  neither  I,  nor  my  brethren,  nor  my  servants,  nor  the 
men  of  the  guard  which  followed  me,  none  of  us  put  off  our 
clothes,  ||«atrtn^  that  every  one  put  them  off  for  washing. 

CHAPTER   V. 

The  Jews  complain  of  their  debt  and  bondage. 

AND  there  was  a  great  "cry  of  the  people,  and  of  their 
wives  against  their  'brethren  the  Jews. 

2  For  there  were  that  said.  We,  our  sons,  and  our  daughters, 
are  many :  therefore  we  take  up  corn  jor  them,  that  we 
may  eat,  and  live. 

3  Some  also  there  were  that  said.  We  have  mortgaged 
our  lands,  vineyards,  and  houses,  that  we  might  buy  corn, 
because  of  the  dearth. 

4  There  were  also  that  said.  We  have  borrowed  money 
for  the  king's  tribute,  and  that  upon  our  lands  and  vineyards. 

5  Yet  now  'our  flesh  is  as  the  flesh  of  our  brethren,  our 
children  as  their  children :  and,  lo,  we  ''bring  into  bondage 
our  sons  and  our  daughters  to  be  servants,  and  some  of  our 
daughters  are  brought  into  bondage  already:  neither  is  it 
in  our  power  to  redeem  them;  for  other  men  have  our  lands 
and  vineyards. 

6  ^And  I  was  very  angry  when  I  heard  their  cry  and 
these  words. 

7  Then  fl  consulted  with  myself,  and  I  rebuked  the  nobles, 
and  the  rulers,  and  said  unto  them,  'Ye  exact  usury,  every 
one  of  his  brother.    And  I  set  a  great  assembly  against  them. 


10  And  Ju'dah  said,  The  strength  of  the  bearers  of 
burdens    is  decayed,   and  there   is  much  rubbish; 

11  so  that  we  are  not  able  to  build  the  wall.  And 
our  adversaries  said.  They  shall  not  know,  neither 
see,  till  we  come  into  the  midst  of  them,  and  slay 

12  them,  and  cause  the  work  to  cease.  And  it  came 
to  pass  that,  when  the  Jews  which  dwelt  by  them 
came,  they  said  unto  us  ten  times  'from  all  places, 

13  Ye  must  return  unto  us.  Therefore  set  I  in  the 
lowest  parts  of  the  space  behind  the  wall,  in  the 
open  places,  I  even  set  the  people  after  their  families 
with  their   swords,  their   spears,  and   their    bows 

14  And  I  looked,  and  rose  up,  and  said  unto  the  nobles, 
and  to  the  ^rulers,  and  to  the  rest  of  the  people,  Be 
not  ye  afraid  of  them :  remember  the  Lord,  which 
is  great  and  terrible,  and  fight  for  your  brethren, 
your  sons  and  your  daughters,  your  wives  and  your 

15  houses.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  our  enemies 
heard  that  it  was  known  unto  us,  and  God  had 
brought  their  counsel  to  nought,  that  we  returned 

16  all  of  us  to  the  wall,  every  one  unto  his  work.  And 
it  came  to  pass  from  that  time  forth,  that  half  of  my 
servants  wrought  in  the  work,  and  half  of  them  held 
the  spears,  the  shields,  and  the  bows,  and  the  coats 
of  mail ;  and  the  rulers  were  behind  'all  the  house  of 

17  Ju'dah.  They  that  builded  the  wall  and  they  that  bare 
burdens  laded  themselves,  every  one  with  one  of  his 
hands  wrought  in  the  work,  and  with  the  other  held 

18 his  weapon;  and  the  builders,  every  one  had  his 
sword  girded  by  his  side,  and  so  builded.     And  he 

19  that  sounded  the  trumpet  was  by  me.  And  I  said 
unto  the  nobles,  and  to  the  ^rulers,  and  to  the  rest 
of  the  people.  The  work  is  great  and  large,  and  we 
are  separated  upon  the  wall,  one  far  from  another : 

20  in  what  place  soever  ye  hear  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet,  resort  ye  thither  unto  us;   our  God  shall 

21  fight  for  us.  So  we  wrought  in  the  work :  and  half 
of  them  held  the  spears  from  the  rising  of  the  morn- 

22  ing  till  the  stars  appeared.  Likewise  at  the  same 
time  said  I  unto  the  people,  Let  every  one  with  his 
servant  lodge  within  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  in  the  night 
they  may  be  a  guard  to  us,  and  may  labour  in  the 

23  day.  So  neither  I,  nor  my  brethren,  nor  my  serv- 
ants, nor  the  men  of  the  guard  which  followed  me, 
none  of  us  put  off  our  clothes,  ^every  one  went  with 
his  weapon  to  the  water. 

O     Then  there  arose  a  great  cry  of  the  people  and 

2  of  their  wives  against  their  brethren  the  Jews.  For 
there  were  that  said.  We,  our  sons  and  our  daugh- 
ters, are  many :  let  us  get  corn,  that  we  may  eat  and 

3  live.  Some  also  there  were  that  said,  We  are  mort-' 
gaging  our  fields,  and  our  vineyards,  and  our  houses : 

4  let  us  get  corn,  because  of  the  dearth.  There  were 
also  that  said.  We  have  borrowed  money  for  the 
king's  tribute  upon  our  fields  and  our  vineyards. 

5  Yet  now  our  flesh  is  as  the  flesh  of  our  brethren, 
our  children  as  their  children :  and,  lo,  we  bring  into 
bondage  our  sons  and  our  daughters  to  be  servants, 
and  some  of  our  daughters  are  brought  into  bond- 
age already :  neither  is  it  in  our  power  to  help  it ; 
for  other  men  have  our  fields  and  our  vineyards. 

6  And  I  was  very  angry  when  I  heard  their  cry  and 

7  these  words.  Then  I  consulted  with  myself,  and 
contended  with  the  nobles  and  the  ^rulers,  and 
said  unto  them.  Ye  exact  usury,  every  one  of  his 
brother.     And  I  held  a  great  assembly  against  them.

8  And  I  said  unto  them,  We,  after  our  ability,  have  ■'^re- 
deemed our  brethren  the  Jews,  which  were  sold  unto  the 
heathen ;  and  will  ye  even  sell  your  brethren  ?  or  shall  they 
be  sold  unto  us?  Then  held  they  their  peace,  and  found 
nothing  to  answer. 

9  Also  I  said.  It  is  not  good  that  ye  do :  ought  ye  not  to 
walk  "in  the  fear  of  our  God  ^because  of  the  reproach  of 
the  heathen  our  enemies? 

10  I  likewise,  and  my  brethren,  and  my  servants,  might 
exact  of  them  money  and  corn :  I  pray  you,  let  us  leave  off 
this  usury. 

11  Restore,  I  pray  you,  to  them,  even  this  day,  their  lands, 
their  vineyards,  their  oliveyards,  and  their  houses,  also  the 
hundredth  part  of  the  money,  and  of  the  corn,  the  wine,  and 
the  oil,  that  ye  exact  of  them. 

12  Then  said  they.  We  will  restore  them,  and  will  require 
nothing  of  them;  so  will  we  do  as  thou  sayest.  Then  I 
called  the  priests,  'and  took  an  oath  of  them,  that  they 
should  do  according  to  this  promise. 

13  Also  *I  shook  my  lap,  and  said.  So  God  shake  out  every 
man  from  his  house,  and  from  his  labour,  that  performeth 
not  this  promise,  even  thus  be  he  shaken  out,  and  femptied. 
And  all  the  congregation  said.  Amen,  and  praised  the  Lord. 
'And  the  people  did  according  to  this  promise. 

14  ^Moreover  from  the  time  that  I  was  appointed  to  be 
their  governor  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  from  the  twentieth  year 
•"even  unto  the  two  and  thirtieth  year  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  the 
king,  that  is,  twelve  years,  I  and  my  brethren  have  not 
"eaten  the  bread  of  the  governor. 

15  But  the  former  governors  that  had  been  before  me  were 
chargeable  unto  the  people,  and  had  taken  of  them  bread 
and  wine,  besides  forty  shekels  of  silver ;  yea,  even  their 
servants  bare  rule  over  the  people :  but  °so  did  not  I,  be- 
cause of  the  "fear  of  God. 

16  Yea,  also  I  continued  in  the  work  of  this  wall,  neither 
bought  we  any  land :  and  all  my  servants  were  gathered 
thither  unto  the  work. 

17  Moreover  there  were  "at  my  table  a  hundred  and  fifty 
of  the  Jews  and  rulers,  besides  those  that  came  unto  us  from 
among  the  heathen  that  are  about  us. 

18  Now  that  •'which  was  prepared  for  me  daily  was  one  ox 
and  six  choice  sheep ;  also  fowls  were  prepared  for  me,  and 
once  in  ten  days  store  of  all  sorts  of  wine :  yet  for  all  this 
'required  not  I  the  bread  of  the  governor,  because  the  bond- 
age was  heavy  upon  this  people. 

19  'Think  upon  me,  my  God,  for  good,  according  to  all 
that  I  have  done  for  this  people. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

Sanballai  practiseth  by  craft  to  terrify  Nehemiah. 

"VTOW  it  came  to  pass,  "when  San-bal'lat,  and  To-bi'ah, 
-L*  and  1 1  Ge'shem  the  A-ra'bi-an,  and  the  rest  of  our  enemies, 
heard  that  I  had  builded  the  wall,  and  that  there  was  no 
breach  left  therein ;  (Hhough  at  that  time  I  had  not  set  up 
the  doors  upon  the  gates ;) 

2  That  San-bal'lat  and  Ge'shem  "sent  unto  me,  saying,  Come, 
let  us  meet  together  in  some  one  of  the  villages  in  the  plain 
of  ''O'no.     But  they  ^thought  to  do  me  mischief. 

3  And  I  sent  messengers  unto  them,  saying,  I  am  doing  a 
great  work,  so  that  I  can  not  come  down ;  why  should  the 
work  cease,  whilst  I  leave  it,  and  come  down  to  you  ? 

4  Yet  they  sent  unto  me  four  times  after  this  sort;  and  I 
answered  them  after  the  same  manner. 

5  Then  sent  San-bal'lat  his  servant  unto  me  in  like  manner 
the  fifth  time  with  an  open  letter  in  his  hand ; 

6  Wherein  was  written.  It  is  reported  among  the  heathen, 
and  IIGash'mu  saith  it,  ■fthat  thou  and  the  Jews  think  to 
rebel:  for  which  cause  thou  buildest  the  wall,  that  thou 
mayest  be  their  king,  according  to  these  words. 


8  And  I  said  unto  them.  We  after  our  ability  have  're- 
deemed our  brethren  the  Jews,  which  were  sold  unto 
the  heathen ;  and  would  ye  even  sell  your  brethren, 
and  should  they  be  sold  unto  us?     Then  held  they 

9  their  peace,  and  found  never  a  word.  Also  I  said, 
The  thing  that  ye  do  is  not  good :  ought  ye  not  to 
walk  in  the  fear  of  our  God,  because  of  the  reproach 

10 of  the  heathen  our  enemies?  And  I  likewise,  my 
brethren  and  my  servants,  do  lend  them  money  and 
corn  on   usury.     I  pray  you,  let  us  leave   off  this 

11  usury.  Restore,  I  pray  you,  to  them,  even  this 
day,  their  fields,  their  vineyards,  their  oliveyards, 
and  their  houses,  also  the  hundredth  part  of  the 
money,  and  of  the  corn,  the  wine,  and  the  oil,  that 

12  ye  exact  of  them.  Then  said  they.  We  will  restore 
them,  and  will  require  nothing  of  them;  so  will  we 
do,  even  as  thou  sayest.  Then  I  called  the  priests, 
and  took   an  oath  of  them,  that  they  should  do  ac- 

13  cording  to  this  promise.  Also  I  shook  out  my  lap, 
and  said.  So  God  shake  out  every  man  from  his 
house,  and  from  his  labour,  that  performeth  not  this 
promise ;  even  thus  be  he  shaken  out,  and  emptied. 
And  all  the  congregation  said,  Amen,  and  praised 
the  Lord.     And  the  people  did   according  to  this 

14  promise.  Moreover  from  the  time  that  I  was  ap- 
pointed to  be  their  governor  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah, 
from  the  twentieth  year  even  unto  the  two  and  thir- 
tieth year  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  the  king,  that  is,  twelve 
years,  I  and  my  brethren  have  not  eaten  the  bread 

15  of  the  governor.  But  the  former  governors  that 
were  before  me  'were  chargeable  unto  the  people, 
and  took  of  them  bread  and  wine,  'beside  forty 
shekels  of  silver;  yea,  even  their  servants  *bare 
rule  over  the  people :  but  so  did  not  I,  because  of 

16  the  fear  of  God.  X^ea,  also  I  'continued  in  the  work 
of  this  wall,  neither  bought  we  any  land :  and  all 
my  servants  were  gathered  thither  unto  the  work. 

17  Moreover  there  were  at  my  table  of  the  Jews  and 
the  'rulers  an  hundred  and  fifty  men,  beside  those 
that  came   unto   us  from   among  the   heathen  that 

18  were  round  about  us.  Now  that  which  was  pre- 
pared for  one  day  was  one  ox  and  six  choice  sheep ; 
also  fowls  were  prepared  for  me,  and  once  in  ten 
days  store  of  all  sorts  of  wine  :  yet  for  all  this  I  de- 
manded not  the  bread  of  the  governor,  because  the 

19  bondage  was  heavy  upon  this  people.  Remember 
unto  me,  O  my  God,  for  good,  all  that  I  have  done 
for  this  people. 

O  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  it  was  reported  to  San- 
bal'lat  and  To-bi'ah,  and  to  Ge'shem  the  A-ra'bi-an,  and 
unto  the  rest  of  our  enemies,  that  I  had  builded  the 
wall,  and  that  there  was  no  breach  left  therein ; 
(though  even  unto  that  time  I  had  not  set  up  the 

2  doors  in  the  gates;)  that  San-bal'lat  and  Ge'shem  sent 
unto  me,  saying.  Come,  let  us  meet  together  in  one 
of  the  villages  in  the  plain  of  O'no.    But  they  thought 

3  to  do  me  mischief.  And  I  sent  messengers  unto 
them,  saying,  I  am  doing  a  great  work,  so  that  I 
can  not  come   down :  why  should  the  work  cease, 

4 whilst  I  leave  it,  and  come  down  to  you?  And 
they  sent  unto  me  four  times  after  this  sort ;  and  I 

5  answered  them  after  the  same  manner.  Then  sent 
San-bal'lat  his  servant  unto  me  in  like  manner  the 

6  fifth  time  with  an  open  letter  in  his  hand ;  wherein 
was  written.  It  is  reported  among  the  nations,  and 
^Gash'mu  saith  it,  that  thou  and  the  Jews  think  to  re- 
bel; for  which  cause  thou  buildest  the  wall:  and  thou 
wouldest  be  their  king,  according  to  these  words.

7  And  thon  hast  also  appointed  prophets  to  preach 
of  thee  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying,  There  is  a  king  in  Ju'dah : 
and  now  shall  it  be  reported  to  the  king  according  to 
these  words.  Come  now  therefore,  and  let  us  take  counsel 
together. 

8  Then  I  said  unto  him  saying.  There  are  no  such  things 
done  as  thou  sayest,  but  thou  feignest  them  out  of  thine 
own  heart. 

9  For  they  all  made  us  afraid,  saying.  Their  hands  shall 
be  weakened  from  the  work,  that  it  be  not  done.  Now 
therefore,  0  God,  strengthen  my  hands. 

10  Afterward  I  came  unto  the  house  of  Shem-a-i'ah  the 
son  of  Del-a-i'ah,  the  son  of  Me-het'a-beel,  who  was  shut 
up ;  and  he  said,  Let  us  meet  together  in  the  house  of  God, 
within  the  temple,  and  let  us  shut  the  doors  of  the  temple : 
for  they  will  come  to  slay  thee;  yea,  in  the  night  will 
they  come  to  slay  thee. 

11  And  I  said,  Should  such  a  man  as  I  flee?  and  who  is 
there,  that,  being  as  I  am,  would  go  into  the  temple  to  save 
his  life?     I  will  not  go  in. 

12  And,  lo,  I  perceived  that  God  had  not  sent  him ;  but 
that  "he  pronounced  this  prophecy  against  me :  for  To-bi'ah 
and  San-bal'lat  had  hired  him. 

13  Therefore  was  he  hired,  that  I  should  be  afraid,  and  do 
so,  and  sin,  and  that  they  might  have  matter  for  an  evil  re- 
port, that  they  might  reproach  me. 

14  '■My  God,  think  thou  upon  To-bi'ah  and  San-bal'lat, 
according  to  these  their  works,  and  on  the  'prophetess  No- 
a-di'ah,  and  the  rest  of  the  prophets,  that  would  have  put 
me  in  fear. 

15  ^So  the  wall  was  finished  in  the  twenty  and  fifth  day 
of  the  month  E'lul,  in  fifty  and  two  days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  *wben  all  our  enemies  heard 
thereof,  and  all  the  heathen  that  were  about  us  saw  these 
things,  they  were  much  cast  down  in  their  own  eyes :  for 
'they  perceived  that  this  work  was  wrought  of  our  God. 

17  ^Moreover  in  those  days  the  nobles  of  Ju'dah  fsent 
many  letters  unto  To-bi'ah,  and  the  letters  of  To-bi'ah  came 
unto  them. 

18  For  there  were  many  in  Ju'dah  sworn  unto  him,  because 
he  was  the  son  in  law  of  Shech-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  A'rah ; 
and  his  son  Jo-ha'nan  had  taken  the  daughter  of  Me-shul'- 
1am  the  son  of  Ber-e-chi'ah. 

19  Also  they  reported  his  good  deeds  before  me,  and  ut- 
tered my  II  words  to  him.  And  To-bi'ah  sent  letters  to  put 
me  in  fear. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

A  register  of  those  who  returned  from  Babylon, 

"VTOW  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  wall  was  built,  and  I 
-Ll  had  "^et  up  the  doors,  and  the  porters  and  the  singers 
and  the  Le'vites  were  appointed, 

2  That  I  gave  my  brother  Ha-na'ni,  and  Han-a-ni'ah  the 
ruler  'of  the  palace,  charge  over  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  he  was  a 
faithful  man,  and  "feared  God  above  many. 

3  And  I  said  unto  them.  Let  not  the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
be  opened  until  the  sun  be  hot ;  and  while  they  stand  by, 
let  them  shut  the  doors  and  bar  them, :  and  appoint  watches 
of  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'.sa-lem,  every  one  in  his  watch, 
and  every  one  to  be  over  against  his  house. 

4  Now  the  city  was  flarge  and  great:  but  the  people 
were  few  therein,  and  the  houses  were  not  builded. 

5  ^And  my  God  put  into  mine  heart  to  gather  together 
the  nobles,  and  the  rulers,  and  the  people,  that  they  might 
be  reckoned  by  genealogy.  And  I  found  a  register  of  the 
genealogy  of  them  which  came  up  at  the  first,  and  found 
written  therein, 

6  ''These  are  the  children  of  the  province,  that  went  up 
out  of  the  captivity,  of  those  that  had  been  carried  away, 
whom  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  carried 


7  And  thou  hast  also  appointed  prophets  to  preach 
of  thee  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying,  There  is  a  king  in 
Ju'dah :  and  now  shall  it  be  reported  to  the  king  ac- 
cording to  these  words.     Come  now  therefore,  and 

8  let  us  take  counsel  together.  Then  I  sent  unto 
him,  saying.  There  are  no  such  things  done  as  thou 
sayest,  but  thou  feignest  them   out   of  thine  own 

9  heart.  For  they  all  would  have  made  us  afraid, 
saying.  Their  hands  shall  be  weakened  from  the 
work,  that  it  be  not  done.  But  now,  '0  God, 
strengthen  thou  my  hands. 

10  And  I  went  unto  the  house  of  Shem-a-i'ah  the  son 
of  Del-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Me-het'a-bel,  who  was  shut  up  ; 
and  he  said.  Let  us  meet  together  in  the  house  of 
God,  within  the  temple,  and  let  us  shut  the  doors  of 
the  temple :  for  they  will  come  to  slay  thee ;  yea,  in 

lithe  night  will  they  come  to  slay  thee.  And  I  said. 
Should  such  a  man  as  I  flee?  and  who  is  there, 
that,  being  such  as  I,  ^would  go  into  the  temple  to 

12 save  his  life?  I  will  not  go  in.  And  I  discerned, 
and,  lo,  God  had  not  sent  him :  but  he  pronounced 
this  prophecy  against  me:  and  To-bi'ah  and  San- 

13bal'lat  had  hired  him.  For  this  cause  was  he 
hired,  that  I  should  be  afraid,  and  do  so,  and  sin, 
and  that  they  might  have  matter  for  an  evil  report, 

14  that  they  might  reproach  me.  Remember,  O  my 
God,  To-bi'ah  and  San-bal'lat  according  to  these 
their  works,  and  also  the  prophetess  No-a-di'ah, 
and  the  rest  of  the  prophets,  that  would  have  put 
me  in  fear. 

15  So  the  wall  was  finished  in  the  twenty  and  fifth 
IQday  of  the  month  E'lul,  in  fifty  and  two  days.     And 

it  came  to  pass,  when  all  our  enemies  heard  thereof, 
that  all  the  heathen  that  were  about  us  ^feared,  and 
were  much  cast  down  in  their  own  eyes:  for  they 
perceived  that  this  work  was  wrought  of  our  God. 

17  Moreover  in  those  days  the  nobles  of  Ju'dah  sent 
many  letters  unto  To-bi'ah,  and  the  letters  of  To-bi'ah 

18  came  unto  them.  For  there  were  many  in  Ju'dah 
sworn  unto  him,  because  he  was  the  son  in  law  of 
Shec-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  A'rah ;  and  his  son  Je-ho-ha'- 
nan  had  taken  the  daughter  of  Me-shul'lam  the  son 

19  of  Ber-e-chi'ah  to  wife.  Also  they  spake  of  his  good 
deeds  before  me,  and  reported  my  words  to  him. 
And  To-bi'ah  sent  letters  to  put  me  in  fear, 

♦  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  wall  was  built, 
and  I  had  set  up  the  doors,  and  the  porters  and  the 

2  singers  and  the  Le'vites  were  appointed,  that  I  gave 
my  brother  Ha-na'ni,  and  Han-a-ni'ah  the  governor  of 
the  castle,  charge  over  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  he  was  a 

3  faithful  man,  and  feared  God  above  many.  And  I 
said  unto  them.  Let  not  the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  be 
opened  until  the  sun  be  hot;  and  while  they  stand 
on  guard,  let  them  shut  the  doors,  and  bar  ye  them : 
and  appoint  watches  of  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
every  one  in  his  watch,  and  every  one  to  be  over 

4  against  his  house.  Now  the  city  was  wide  and 
large :  but  the  people   were  few   therein,  and  the 

5  houses  were  not  builded.  And  my  God  put  into 
my  heart  to  gather  together  the  nobles,  and  the 
^rulers,  and  the  people,  that  they  might  be  reck- 
oned by  genealogy.  And  I  found  the  book  of 
the  genealogy  of  them  which  came  up  at  the  first, 

6  and  I  found  written  therein :  "These  are  the  chil- 
dren of  the  province,  that  went  up  out  of  the  cap- 
tivity of  those  that  had  been  carried  away,  whom 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  carried

60  All  the  Neth'i-nim,  and  the  children  of  Sol'o-mon's  serv- 
ants, were  three  hundred  ninety  and  two. 

61  *And  these  were  they  which  went  up  also  from  Tel- 
me'lah,  Tel-ha-re'sha,  Che'rub,  ||  Ad'don,  and  Im'mer:  but

of  the  daughters  of  Bar-zil'Ia-i  the  Gil'e-ad-ite  to  wife,  and 
was  called  after  their  name. 

64  These  sought  their  register  among  those  that  were 
reckoned  by  genealogy,  but  it  was  not  found :  therefore 
were  they,  as  polluted,  put  from  the  priesthood. 

65  And  II  the  Tir'sha-tha  said  unto  them,  that  they  should 
not  eat  of  the  most  holy  things,  till  there  stood  up  a  priest 
with  U'rim  and  Thum'mim. 

66  1[The  whole  congregation  together  was  forty  and  two

71  And  some  of  the  chief  of  the  fiithers  gave  to  the 
treasure  of  the  work  ""twenty  thousand  drams  of  gold,  and 
two  thousand  and  two  hundred  pounds  of  silver. 

72  And  that  which  the  rest  of  the  people  gave  was 
twenty  thousand  drams  of  gold,  and  two  thousand  pounds 
of  silver,  and  threescore  and  seven  priests'  garments. 

73  So  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vite?,  and  the  porters,  and 
the  singers,  and  some  of  the  people,  and  the  Neth'i-nim,  and 
all  Is'ra-el,  dwelt  in  their  cities;  "and  when  the  seventh 
month  came,  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  in  their  cities. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

The  religious  manner  of  reading  and  hearing  the  law. 

AND  all  "the  people  gathered  themselves  together  as 
one  man  into  the  street  that  was  'before  the  water  gate ; 
and  they  spake  unto  Ez'ra  the  'scribe  to  bring  the  book  of 
the  law  of  Mo'ses,  which  the  Lobd  had  commanded  to 
Is'ra-el. 

2  And  Ez'ra  the  priest  brought  ''the  law  before  the  congre- 
gation both  of  men  and  women,  and  all  fthat  could  hear 
with  understanding,  'upon  the  first  day  of  the  seventh 
month. 


51  the  children  of  Gaz'zam,  the  children  of  Uz'za,  the 

52  children  of  Pa-se'ah ;  the  children  of  Be'sai,  the  chil- 
dren of  Me-u'nim,  the  children  of  *Ne-phush'e-sim ; 

53  the  children  of  Bak'buk,  the  children  of  Ha-ku'pha, 

54  the  children  of  Har'hur ;  the  children  of  Baz'lith, 
the  children  of  Me-hi'da,  the  children  of  Har'sha; 

55  the  children  of  Bar'kos,  the  children   of  Sis'e-ra, 

56  the  children  of  Te'mah ;   the  children  of  Ne-zi'ah, 

57  the  children  of  Hat'i-pha.  The  children  of  Sol'o- 
mon's  servants :  the  children  of  So'ta-i,  the  children 

58  of  Soph'e-reth,  the  children  of  Pe-ri'da ;  the  children 
of  Ja-a'la,  the  children  of  Dar'kon,  the  children  of 

59  Gid'del ;  the  children  of  Sheph-a-ti'ah,  the  children 
of  Hat'til,the  children  of  Poch'e-reth-haz-ze-ba'im,the 

60  children  of  A'mon.  All  the  Neth'i-nim,  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Sol'o-mon's   servants,  were  three   hundred 

61  ninety  and  two.  And  these  were  they  which  went 
up  from  Tel-me'lah,  Tel-har'sha,  Che'rub,  Ad'don, 
and  Im'mer :  but  they  could  not  shew  their  fathers' 
houses,  nor  their  seed,  whether  they  were  of  Is'ra-el : 

62  the  children  of  Del-a-i'ah,  the  children  of  To-bi'ah,the 
children   of  Ne-ko'da,  six  hundred   forty  and  two 

63  And  of  the  priests :  the  children  of  Ho-ba'iah,  the 
children  of  Hak'koz,the  children  of  Bar-zil'la-i,which 
took  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of  Bar-zil'la-i  the  Gil'e-ad- 

64ite,  and  was  called  after  their  name.  These  sought 
their  register  among  those  that  were  reckoned  by 
genealogy,  but  it  was  not  found:  therefore  ^were 
they  deemed  polluted  and  put  from  the  priesthood. 

65  And  the  'Tir'sha-tha  said  unto  them,  that  they  should 
not  eat  of  the  most  holy  things,  till  there  stood  up 

66  a  priest  with  U'rim  and  Thum'mim.  The  whole  con- 
gregation together  was  forty  and  two  thousand  three 

67  hundred  and  threescore,  beside  their  menservants 
and  their  maidservants,  of  whom  there  were  seven 
thousand  three  hundred  thirty  and  seven :  and  they 
had  two  hundred  forty  and   five  singing   men  and 

68  singing  women.  Their  horses  were  seven  hundred 
thirty  and  six;  their  mules,  two  hundred  forty  and 

69  five ;  their  camels,  four  hundred  thirty  and  five ; 
their  asses,  six  thousand  seven  hundred  and  twenty. 

70  And  some  from  among  the  heads  of  fathers'  houses 
gave  unto  the  work.  The  Tir'sha-tha  gave  to  the 
treasury  a  thousand  darics  of  gold,  fifty  basons,  five 

71  hundred  and  thirty  priests'  garments.  And  some 
of  the  heads  of  fathers'  houses  gave  into  the 
treasury  of  the  work  twenty  thousand  darics  of 
gold,  and  two  thousand  and  two  hundred  ^pound 

72  of  silver.  And  that  which  the  rest  of  the  people 
gave  was  twenty  thousand  darics  of  gold,  and  two 
thousand  pound  of  silver,  and  threescore  and  seven 

73  priests'  garments.  So  the  priests,  and  the  Le'vites, 
and  the  porters,  and  the  singers,  and  some  of  the 
people,  and  the  Neth'i-nim,  and  all  Is'ra-el,  dwelt  in 
their  cities. 

8  'And  when  the  seventh  month  was  come,  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  were  in  their  cities.  And  all  the 
people  gathered  themselves  together  as  one  man 
into  the  broad  place  that  was  before  the  water 
gate ;  and  they  spake  unto  Ez'ra  the  scribe  to  bring 
the  book  of  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  which  the  Lord 
2  had  commanded  to  Is'ra-el.  And  Ez'ra  the  priest 
brought  the  law  before  the  congregation,  both  men 
and  women,  and  all  that  could  hear  with  under- 
standing, upon  the  first  day  of  the  seventh  month.

3  And  he  read  therein  before  the  street  that  was  before 
the  water  gate  ffrom  the  morning  until  midday,  before 
the  men  and  the  women,  and  those  that  could  understand; 
and  the  ears  of  all  the  people  were  attentive  unto  the  book 
of  the  law. 

4  And  Ez'ra  the  scribe  stood  upon  fa  pulpit  of  wood,  which 
they  had  made  for  the  purpose ;  and  beside  him  stood  Mat- 
ti-thi'ah,  and  She'ma,  and  An-a-i'ah,  and  U-ri'jah,  and  Hil- 
ki'ah,  and  Ma-a-se'iah,  on  his  right  hand ;  and  on  his  left 
hand,  Pe-da'iah,  and  Mish'a-el,  and  Mal-chi'ah,  and  Ha'- 
shum,  and  Hash-bad'a-na,  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  Me-shul'lam. 

5  And  Ez'ra  opened  the  book  in  the  fsight  of  all  the  peo- 
ple ;  (for  he  was  above  all  the  people ;)  and  when  he  opened 
it,  all  the  people  •'stood  up : 

6  And  Ez'ra  blessed  the  Lokd,  the  great  God.  And  all  the 
people  "answered.  Amen,  Amen,  with  'lifting  up  their 
hands:  and  they  '"bowed  their  heads,  and  worshipped  the 
Lord  with  their  faces  to  the  ground. 

7  AlsoJesh'u-a,and  Ba'ni,and  Sher-e-bi'ah,Ja'min,Ak'kub, 
Shab-beth'a-i,Ho-di'jah,Ma-a-se'iah,Kel'i-ta,Az-a-ri'ah,Joz'- 
a-bad,  Ha'nan,  Pel-a-i'ah,  and  the  Le'vites, 'caused  the  people 
to  understand  the  law :  and  the  people  stood  in  their  place. 

8  So  they  read  in  the  book  in  the  law  of  God  distinctly, 
and  gave  the  sense,  and  caused  them  to  understand  the 
reading. 

9  "[['And  Ne-he-mi'ah,  which  is  \\  the  Tir'sha-tha,  and  Ez'ra 
the  priest  the  scribe,  "and  the  Le'vites  that  taught  the 
people,  said  unto  all  the  people,  "This  day  is  holy  unto  the 
Lord  your  God ;  "mourn  not,  nor  weep.  For  all  the  peo- 
ple wept,  when  they  heard  the  words  of  the  law. 

10  Then  he  said  unto  them.  Go  your  way,  eat  the  fat,  and 
drink  the  sweet,  ''and  send  portions  unto  them  for  whom 
nothing  is  prepared:  for  this  day  is  holy  unto  our  Lord: 
neither  be  ye  sorry;  for  the  joy  of  the  Lord  is  your 
strength. 

11  So  the  Le'vites  stilled  all  the  people,  saying,  Hold  your 
peace,  for  the  day  is  holy ;  neither  he  ye  grieved. 

12  And  all  the  people  went  their  way  to  eat,  and  to  drink, 
and  to  'send  portions,  and  to  make  great  mirth,  because 
they  had  'understood  the  words  that  were  declared  unto 
them. 

13  ^And  on  the  second  day  were  gathered  together  the 
chief  of  the  fathers  of  all  the  people,  the  priests,  and  the 
Le'vites,  unto  Ez'ra  the  scribe,  even  |lto  understand  the 
words  of  the  law. 

14  And  they  found  written  in  the  law  which  the  Lord 
had  commanded  fby  Mo'ses,  that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
should  dwell  in  'booths  in  the  feast  of  the  seventh  month : 

15  And  that  they  should  publish  and  proclaim  in  all  their 
cities,  and  "in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying.  Go  forth  unto  the  mount, 
and  "Tetch  olive  branches,  and  pine  branches,  and  myrtle 
branches,  and  palm  branches,  and  branches  of  thick  trees,  to 
make  booths,  as  it  is  written. 

16  ^So  the  people  went  forth,  and  brought  them,  and  made 
themselves  booths,  every  one  upon  the  "roof  of  his  house, 
and  in  their  courts,  and  in  the  courts  of  the  house  of  God, 
and  in  the  street  of  the  'water  gate,  "and  in  the  street  of  the 
gate  of  E'phra-im. 

17  And  all  the  congregation  of  them  that  were  come  again 
out  of  the  captivity  made  booths,  and  sat  under  the  booths; 
for  since  the  days  of  Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  Nun  unto  that  day 
had  not  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  done  so.  And  there  was 
very  'great  gladness. 

18  Also  "day  by  day,  from  the  first  day  unto  the  last  day, 
he  read  in  the  book  of  the  law  of  God.  And  they  kept  the 
feast  seven  days ;  and  on  the  eighth  day  was  fa  solemn  as- 
sembly, ''according  unto  the  manner. 


3  And  he  read  therein  before  the  broad  place  that  was 
before  the  water  gate  'from  early  morning  until  mid- 
day, in  the  presence  of  the  men  and  the  women,  and 
of  those  that  could  understand ;  and  the  ears  of  all 
the  people  were  attentive  unto  the  book  of  the  law. 

4  And  Ez'ra  the  scribe  stood  upon  a  ^pulpit  of  wood, 
which  they  had  made  for  the  purpose;  and  beside 
him  stood  Mat-ti-thi'ah,  and  She'ma,  and  An-a-i'ah,  and 
U-ri'ah,  and  Hil-ki'ah,  and  Ma-a-se'iah,  on  his  right 
hand ;  and  on  his  left  hand,  Pe-da'iah,  and  Mish'a-el, 
and  Mal-chi'jah,  and  Ha'shum,  and  Hash-bad'da-nah, 

5  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  Me-shul'lam.  And  Ez'ra  opened  the 
book  in  the  sight  of  all  the  people;  (for  he  was 
above  all  the  people ;)  and  when  he  opened  it,  all  the 

6  people  stood  up :  and  Ez'ra  blessed  the  Lord,  the 
great  God.  And  all  the  people  answered.  Amen, 
Amen,  with  the  lifting  up  of  their  hands :  and  they 
bowed  their  heads,  and  worshipped  the  Lord  with 

7  their  faces  to  the  ground.  Also  Jesh'u-a,  and  Ba'ni,and 
Sher-e-bi'ah,  Ja'min,  Ak'kub,  Shab-beth'a-i,  Ho-di'ah, 
Ma-a-se'iah,  Kel'i-ta,  Az-a-ri'ah,  Joz'a-bad,Ha'nan,Pel- 
a-i'ah,and  the  Le'vites,caused  the  people  to  understand 

8  the  law :  and  the  people  stood  in  their  place.  And 
they  read  in  the  book,  in  the  law  of  God,  'distinctly ; 
and  they  gave  the  sense,  *so  that  they  understood 

9  the    reading.     And    Ne-he-mi'ah,   which   was    the 
Tir'sha-tha,  and  Ez'ra  the  priest  the  scribe,  and  the 
Le'vites  that  taught  the  people,  said  unto  all  the  peo 
pie.  This  day  is  holy  unto   the    Lord  your  God; 
mourn  not,  nor  weep.     For  all    the    people  wept, 

10  when  they  heard  the  words  of  the  law.  Then  he 
said  unto  them,  Go  your  way,  eat  the  fat,  and  drink 
the  sweet,  and  send  portions  unto  him  for  whom 
nothing  is  prepared:  for  this  day  is  holy  unto  our 
Lord :  neither  be  ye  grieved ;    for  the  joy  of  the 

11  Lord  is  your  'strength.  So  the  Le'vites  stilled  all 
the  people,  saying.  Hold  your  peace,  for  the  day  is 

12  holy ;  neither  be  ye  grieved.  And  all  the  people  went 
their  way  to  eat,  and  to  drink,  and  to  send  portions, 
and  to  make  great  mirth,  because  they  had  understood 
the  words  that  were  declared  unto  them. 

13  And  on  the  second  day  were  gathered  together 
the  heads  of  fathers'  houses  of  all  the  people,  the 
priests,  and  the  Le'vites,  unto  Ez'ra  the  scribe,  even 

14  to  give  attention  to  the  words  of  the  law.  And 
they  found  written  in  the  law,  how  that  the  Lord 
had  commanded  by  Mo'ses,  that  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  should  dwell  in  booths  in  the   feast  of  the 

15 seventh  month:  and  that  they  should  publish  and 
proclaim  in  all  their  cities,  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying. 
Go  forth  unto  the  mount,  and  fetch  olive  branches, 
and  branches  of  wild  olive,  and  myrtle  branches, 
and  palm  branches,  and  branches  of  thick  trees,  to 

16  make  booths,  as  it  is  written.  So  the  people  went 
forth,  and  brought  them,  and  made  themselves 
booths,  every  one  upon  the  roof  of  his  house,  and 
in  their  courts,  and  in  the  courts  of  the  house  of 
God,  and  in  the  broad  place  of  the  water  gate,  and 

17  in  the  broad  place  of  the  gate  of  E'phra-im.  And 
all  the  congregation  of  them  that  were  come  again 
out  of  the  captivity  made  booths,  and  dwelt  in 
the  booths :  for  since  the  days  of  Jesh'u-a  the  son  of 
Nun  unto  that  day  had  not  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 

18  done  so.  And  there  was  very  great  gladness.  Also 
day  by  day,  from  the  first  day  unto  the  last  day,  he 
read  in  the  book  of  the  law  of  God.  And  they 
kept  the  feast  seven  days;  and  on  the  eighth 
day  was  a  ^solemn  assembly,  according  unto  the 
ordinance.

CHAPTER  IX. 

A  solemn  fast,  and  repentance  of  the  people. 

NOW   in  the  twenty  and  fourth  day  of  "this  month  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  were  assembled  with  fasting,  and 
with  sackclothes,  ''and  earth  upon  them. 

2  And  ''the  seed  of  Is'ra-el  separated  themselves  from  all 
fstrangers,  and  stood  and  confessed  their  sins,  and  the 
iniquities  of  their  fathers. 

3  And  they  stood  up  in  their  place,  and  ''read  in  the  book 
of  the  law  of  the  Lobd  their  God  one  fourth  part  of  the  day; 
and  another  fourth  part  they  confessed,  and  worshipped  the 
LoED  their  God. 

4  ^Then  stood  up  upon  the  ||  stairs  of  the  Le'vites,  Jesh'u-a, 
and  Ba'ni,  Kad'mi-el,  Sheb-a-ni'ah,  Bun'ni,  Sher-e-bi'ah, 
Ba'ni,  and  Chen'a-ni,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice  unto  the 
Lord  their  God. 

5  Then  the  Le'vites,  Jesh'u-a,  and  Kad'mi-el,  Ba'ni,  Hash- 
ab-ni'ah,  Sher-e-bi'ah,  Ho-di'jah,  Sheb-a-ni'ah,  and  Peth-a- 
hi'ah,  said.  Stand  up  and  bless  the  Lord  your  God  for  ever 
and  ever:  and  blessed  be 'thy  glorious  name,  which  is  exalted 
above  all  blessing  and  praise. 

6  -^Thou,  even  thou,  art  Lord  alone;  'thou  hast  made 
heaven,  *the  heaven  of  heavens,  with  'all  their  host,  the 
earth,  and  all  things  that  are  therein,  the  seas,  and  all  that 
is  therein,  and  thou  *preservest  them  all ;  and  the  host  of 
heaven  worshippeth  thee. 

7  Thou  art  the  Lord  the  God,  who  didst  choose  'A'bram, 
and  broughtest  him  forth  out  of  Ur  of  the  Chal-dees,  and 
gavest  him  the  name  of  ""A'bra-ham ; 

8  And  foundest  his  heart  "faithful  before  thee,  and  madest 
a  "covenant  with  him  to  give  the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ites, 
the  Hit'tites,  the  Am'o-rites,  and  the  Per'iz-zites,  and  the 
Jeb'u-sites,  and  the  Gir'ga-shites,  to  give  it,  I  say,  to  his  seed, 
and  "hast  performed  thy  words ;  for  thou  art  righteous : 

9  'And  didst  see  the  affliction  of  our  fathers  in  E'gypt, 
and  ""heardest  their  cry  by  the  Red  sea; 

10  And  'shewedst  signs  and  wonders  upon  Pha'raoh,  and 
on  all  his  servants,  and  on  all  the  people  of  his  land:  for 
thou  knewest  that  they  'dealt  proudly  against  them.  So 
didst  thou  "get  thee  a  name,  as  it  is  this  day. 

11  ""And  thou  didst  divide  the  sea  before  them,  so  that 
they  went  through  the  midst  of  the  sea  on  the  dry  land ; 
and  their  persecutors  thou  threwest  into  the  deeps,  "as  a 
stone  into  the  mighty  waters. 

12  Moreover  thou  'leddest  them  in  the  day  by  a  cloudy 
pillar;  and  in  the  night  by  a  pillar  of  fire,  to  give  them 
light  in  the  way  wherein  chey  should  go. 

13  "Thou  earnest  down  also  ujion  mount  Si'nai,  and 
spakest  with  them  from  heaven,  and  gavest  them  ''right 
judgments,  and  ftrue  laws,  good  statutes  and  command- 
ments : 

14  And  madest  known  unto  them  thy  "holy  sabbath,  and 
commandedst  them  precepts,  statutes,  and  laws,  by  the 
hand  of  Mo'ses  thy  servant : 

15  And  ■'gavest  them  bread  from  heaven  for  their  hunger, 
and  'broughtest  forth  water  for  them  out  of  the  rock  for 
their  thirst,  and  promisedst  them  that  they  should  -'go  in  to 
possess  the  land  fwhich  thou  hadst  sworn  to  give  them. 

16  "But  they  and  our  fathers  dealt  proudly,  and  ''hardened 
their  necks,  and  hearkened  not  to  thy  commandments, 

17  And  refused  to  obey,  'neither  were  mindful  of  thy 
wonders  that  thou  didst  among  them ;  but  hardened  their 
necks,  and  in  their  rebellion  appointed  *a  captain  to  return 
to  their  bondage :  but  thou  art  fa  God  ready  to  pardon, 
'gracious  and  merciful,  slow  to  anger,  and  of  great  kind- 
ness, and  forsookest  them  not. 

18  Yea,  ""when  they  had  made  them  a  molten  calf,  and 
said.  This  is  thy  God  that  brought  thee  up  out  of  E'gypt, 
and  had  wrought  great  provocations; 


V  Now  in  the  twenty  and  fourth  day  of  this  month 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  were  assembled  with  fasting, 

2  and  with  sackcloth,  and  earth  upon  them.  And  the 
seedof  Is'ra-el  separated  themselves  from  all  strangers, 
and  stood  and  confessed  their  sins,  and  the  iniquities 

3  of  their  fathers.  And  they  stood  up  in  their  place, 
and  read  in  the  book  of  the  law  of  the  Lord  their 
God  a  fourth  part  of  the  day ;  and  another  fourth 
part  they  confessed,  and  worshipped  the  Lord  their 

4  God.  Then  stood  up  upon  the  stairs  of  the  Le'vites, 
Jesh'u-a,  and  Ba'ni,  Kad'mi-el,  Sheb-a-ni'ah,  Bun'ni, 
Sher-e-bi'ah,  Ba'ni,  and  Chen'a-ni,  and  cried  with  a 

5  loud  voice  unto  the  Lord  their  God.  Then  the  Le'vites, 
Jesh'u-a,  andKad'mi-el,Ba'ni,Hash-ab-ne'iah,  Sher-e- 
bi'ah,  Ho-di'ah,  Sheb-a-ni'ah,  and  Peth-a-hi'ah,  said. 
Stand  up  and  bless  the  Lord  your  God  from  everlast- 
ing to  everlasting:  and 'blessed  be  thy  glorious  name, 

6  which  is  exalted  above  all  blessing  and  praise.  Thou 
art  the  Lord,  even  thou  alone ;  thou  hast  made  heaven, 
the  heaven  of  heavens,  with  all  their  host,  the  earth 
and  all  things  that  are  thereon,  the  seas  and  all  that  is 
in  them,  and  thou  preservest  them  all ;  and  the  host 

7  of  heaven  worshippeth  thee.  Thou  art  ^the  Lord  the 
God,  who  didst  choose  A'bram,  and  broughtest  him 
forth  out  of  Ur  of  the  Chal-dees,  and  gavest  him  the 

8  name  of  A'bra-ham ;  and  foundest  his  heart  faithful 
before  thee,  and  madest  a  covenant  with  him  to  give 
the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ite,  the  Hit'tite,  the  Am'o-rite, 
and  the  Per'iz-zite,  and  the  Jeb'u-site,  and  the  Gir'ga- 
shite,  even  to  give  it  unto  his  seed,  and  hast  performed 

9  thy  words ;  for  thou  art  righteous.  And  thou  saw- 
est  the  affliction  of  our  fathers  in  E'gypt,  and  heard- 

10  est  their  cry  by  the  Red  Sea;  and  shewedst  signs 
and  wonders  upon  Pha'raoh,  and  on  all  his  servants, 
and  on  all  the  people  of  his  land ;  for  thou  knewest 
that  they  dealt  proudly  against  them  ;  and  didst  get 

11  thee  a  name,  as  it  is  this  day.  And  thou  didst  divide 
the  sea  before  them,  so  that  they  went  through  the 
midst  of  the  sea  on  the  dry  land;  and  their  pursuers 
thou  didst  cast  into  the  depths,  as  a  stone  into  the 

12  mighty  waters.  Moreover  thou  leddest  them  in  a 
pillar  of  cloud  by  day;  and  in  a  pillar  of  fire  by 
night,  to  give  them  light  in  the  way  wherein  they 

13  should  go.  Thou  camest  down  also  upon  mount 
Si'nai,  and  spakest  with  them  from  heaven,  and  gavest 
them  right  judgements  and  true  laws,  good  statutes 

14  and  commandments :  and  madest  known  unto  them 
thy  holy  sabbath,  and  commandedst  them  command- 
ments, and  statutes,  and  a  law,  by  the  hand  of  Mo'ses 

15 thy  servant:  and  gavest  them  bread  from  heaven 
for  their  hunger,  and  broughtest  forth  water  for  them 
out  of  the  rock  for  their  thirst,  and  commandedst 
them  that  they  should  go  in  to  possess  the  land 
which  thou  hadst  lifted  up  thine  hand  to  give  them. 

16  But  they  and  our  fathers  dealt  proudly,  and  hardened 
their  neck,  and  hearkened  not  to  thy  commandments, 

17  and  refused  to  obey,  neither  were  mindful  of  thy 
wonders  that  thou  didst  among  them ;  but  hardened 
their  neck,  'and  in  their  rebellion  appointed  a  captain 
to  return  to  their  bondage :  but  thou  art  ^a  God  ready 
to  pardon,  gracious  and  full  of  compassion,  slow  to 
anger,  and  plenteous  in  mercy,  and  forsookest  them 

18  not.  Yea,  when  they  had  made  them  a  molten 
calf,  and  said,  This  is  thy  God  that  brought  thee  upi 
out  of  E'gypt,  and  had  wrought  great  provocations;!

19  Yet  thou  in  thy  "manifold  mercies  forsookest  them 
not  in  the  wilderness  ;  the  "pillar  of  the  cloud  departed  not 
from  them  by  day,  to  lead  them  in  the  way;  neither  the 
pillar  of  fire  by  night,  to  shew  them  light,  and  the  way 
wherein  they  should  go. 

20  Thou  gavest  also  thy  ''good  Spirit  to  instruct  them, 
and  withheldest  not  thy  'manna  from  their  mouth,  and 
gavest  them  'water  for  their  thirst. 

21  Yea,  'forty  years  didst  thou  sustain  them  in  the  wilder- 
ness, so  that  they  lacked  nothing;  their  'clothes  waxed  not 
old,  and  their  feet  swelled  not. 

22  Moreover  thou  gavest  them  kingdoms  and  nations, 
and  didst  divide  them  into  corners :  so  they  possessed  the 
land  of  "Si'hon,  and  the  land  of  the  king  of  Hesh'bon,  and 
the  land  of  Og  king  of  Ba'shan. 

23  "'Their  children  also  multipliedst  thou  as  the  stars  of 
heaven,  and  broughtest  them  into  the  land,  concerning 
which  thou  hadst  promised  to  their  fathers,  that  they  should 
go  in  to  possess  it. 

24  So  "the  children  went  in  and  possessed  the  land,  and 
Hhou  subduedst  before  them  the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  the 
Ca'naan-ites,  and  gavest  them  into  their  hands,  with  their 
kings,  and  the  people  of  the  land,  that  they  might  do  with 
them  fas  they  would. 

25  And  they  took  strong  cities,  and  a  "fat  land,  and  pos- 
sessed ''houses  full  of  all  goods,  ||  wells  digged,  vineyards 
and  oliveyards,  and  ffruit  trees  in  abundance:  so  they  did 
eat,  and  were  filled,  and  "became  fat,  and  delighted  them- 
selves in  thy  great  ''goodness. 

26  Nevertheless  they  "were  disobedient,  and  rebelled 
against  thee,  and  ■'cast  thy  law  behind  their  backs,  and  slew 
thy  "prophets  which  testified  against  them  to  turn  them  to 
thee,  and  they  wrought  great  provocations. 

27  ''Therefore  thou  deliveredst  them  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies,  who  vexed  them :  and  in  the  time  of  their  trouble, 
when  they  cried  unto  thee,  thou  'heardest  them  from 
heaven:  and  according  to  thy  manifold  mercies  *thou 
gavest  them  saviours,  who  saved  them  out  of  the  hand  of 
their  enemies. 

28  But  after  they  had  rest  f'they  did  evil  again  before 
thee:  therefore  leftest  thou  them  in  the  hand  of  their 
enemies,  so  that  they  had  the  dominion  over  them:  yet 
when  they  returned,  and  cried  unto  thee,  thou  heardest 
them  from  heaven;  and  ""many  times  didst  thou  deliver 
them  according  to  thy  mercies ; 

29  And  testifiedst  against  them,  that  thou  mightest  bring 
them  again  unto  thy  law:  yet  they  "dealt  proudly,  and 
hearkened  not  unto  thy  commandments,  but  sinned  against 
thy  judgments,  ("which  if  a  man  do,  he  shall  live  in  them ;) 
and  fwithdrew  the  shoulder,  and  hardened  their  neck,  and 
would  not  hear. 

30  Yet  many  years  didst  thou  fforbear  them,  and  testi- 
fiedst ''against  them  by  thy  Spirit  fin  thy  prophets:  yet 
would  they  not  give  ear :  ''therefore  gavest  thou  them  into 
the  hand  of  the  people  of  the  lands. 

31  Nevertheless  for  thy  great  mercies'  sake  'thou  didst 
not  utterly  consume  them,  nor  forsake  them;  for  thou  art 
'a  gracious  and  merciful  God. 

32  Now  therefore,  our  God,  the  great,  the  "mighty,  and 
the  terrible  God,  who  keepest  covenant  and  mercy,  let  not 
all  the  ftrouble  seem  little  before  thee,  fthat  hath  come 
upon  us,  on  our  kings,  on  our  princes,  and  on  our  priests, 
and  on  our  prophets,  and  on  our  fathers,  and  on  all  thy 
people,  ""since  the  time  of  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a  unto  this  day. 

33  Howbeit  "thou  art  just  in  all  that  is  brought  upon  us; 
for  thou  hast  done  right,  but  "we  have  done  wickedly  : 

34  Neither  have  our  kings,  our  princes,  our  priests,  nor  our 
fathers,  kept  thy  law,  nor  hearkened  unto  thy  commandments 
and  thy  testimonies, wherewith  thou  didst  testify  against  them. 


19  ye^^  thou  in  thy  manifold  mercies  forsookest  them 
not  in  the  wilderness:  the  pillar  of  cloud  departed 
not  from  over  them  by  day,  to  lead  them  in  the 
way;  neither  the  pillar  of  fire  by  night,  to  shew 
them  light,  and   the  way  wherein  they  should  go. 

20  Thou  gavest  also  thy  good  spirit  to  instruct  them, 
and  withheldest  not  thy  manna  from  their  mouth, 

21  and  gavest  them  water  for  their  thirst.  Yea,  forty 
years  didst  thou  sustain  them  in  the  wilderness, 
and  they  lacked  nothing;    their  clothes  waxed  not 

22  old,  and  their  feet  swelled  not.  Moreover  thou 
gavest  them  kingdoms  and  peoples,  'which  thou 
didst  allot  after  their  portions:  so  they  possessed 
the  land  of  Si'hon,  even  the  land  of  the  king  of 
Hesh'bon,  and   the    land  of  Og  king  of  Ba'shan 

23  Their  children  also  multipliedst  thou  as  the  stars  of 
heaven,  and  broughtest  them  into  the  land,  concern- 
ing which  thou  didst  say  to  their  fathers,  that  they 

24  should  go  in  to  possess  it.  So  the  children  went  in 
and  possessed  the  land,  and  thou  subduedst  before 
them  the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  the  Ca'naan-ites,  and 
gavest  them  into  their  hands,  with  their  kings,  and 
the  peoples  of  the   land,  that  they  might  do  with 

25  them  as  they  would.  And  they  took  fenced  cities, 
and  a  fat  land,  and  possessed  houses  full  of  all  good 
things,  cisterns  hewn  out,  vineyards,  and  oliveyards, 
and  fruit  trees  in  abundance :  so  they  did  eat,  and 
were  filled,  and  became  fat,  and  delighted  themselves 

26  in  thy  great  goodness.  Nevertheless  they  were  dis- 
obedient, and  rebelled  against  thee,  and  cast  thy  law 
behind  their  back,  and  slew  thy  prophets  which  testi- 
fied against  them  to  turn  them  again  unto  thee,  and 

27  they  wrought  great  provocations.  Therefore  thou 
deliveredst  them  into  the  hand  of  their  adversaries, 
who  distressed  them :  and  in  the  time  of  their  trouble, 
when  they  cried  unto  thee,  thou  heardest  from  heaven; 
and  according  to  thy  manifold  mercies  thou  gavest 
them  saviours  who  saved  them  out  of  the  hand  of 

28  their  adversaries.  But  after  they  had  rest,  they  did 
evil  again  before  thee :  therefore  leftest  thou  them 
in  the  hand  of  their  enemies,  so  that  they  had  the 
dominion  over  them :  yet  when  they  returned,  and 
cried  unto  thee,  thou  heardest  from  heaven ;  and 
many  times  didst  thou  deliver  them  according  to 

29  thy  mercies ;  and  testifiedst  against  them,  that  thou 
mightest  bring  them  again  unto  thy  law :  yet  they 
dealt  proudly,  and  hearkened  not  unto  thy  command- 
ments, but  sinned  against  thy  judgements,  (which  if 
a  man  do,  he  shall  live  in  them,)  and  ^withdrew  the 
shoulder,  and   hardened   their  neck,  and  would  not 

30  hear.  Yet  many  years  didst  thou  bear  with  them, 
and  testifiedst  against  them  by  thy  spirit  through 
thy  prophets:  yet  would  they  not  give  ear:  there- 
fore gavest  thou  them  into  the  hand  of  the  peoples 

31  of  the  lands.  Nevertheless  in  thy  manifold  mercies 
thou  didst  not  make  a  full  end  of  them,  nor  forsake 
them;    for  thou  art   a   gracious  and  merciful  God. 

32  Now  therefore,  our  God,  the  great,  the  mighty,  and 
the  terrible  God,  who  keepest  covenant  and  mercy, 
let  not  all  the  travail  seem  little  before  thee,  that  hath 
come  upon  us,  on  our  kings,  on  our  princes,  and  on 
our  priests,  and  on  our  prophets,  and  on  our  fathers, 
and   on  all  thy  people,  since  the  time  of  the  kings 

33  of  As-syr'i-a  unto  this  day.  Howbeit  thou  art  just 
in  all  that  is  come  upon  us ;  for  thou  hast  dealt  truly, 

34  but  we  have  done  wickedly  :  neither  have  our  kings, 
our  princes,  our  priests,  nor  our  fathers,  kept  thy  law, 
nor  liearkened  unto  thy  commandments  and  thy  tes- 
timonies, wherewith  thou  didst  testify  against  them.

35  For  they  have  "not  served  thee  in  their  kingdom,  and 
in  Hhy  great  goodness  that  thou  gavest  them,  and  in  the

the  law  of  God,  their  wives,  their  sons,  and  their  daughters, 
every  one  having  knowledge,  and  having  understanding; 

29  They  clave  to  their  brethren,  their  nobles,  "and  entered 
into  a  curse,  and  into  an  oath.  Ho  walk  in  God's  law,  which 
was  given  fby  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  God,  and  to  observe

31  *And  if  the  people  of  the  land  bring  ware  or  any  vic-

leave  the  'seventh  year,  and  the  ""exaction  of  fevery  debt.

yearly  with  the  third  part  of  a  shekel  for  the  service  of  the 
house  of  our  God ; 

33  For  "the  shewbread,  and  for  the  "continual  meat  offers 
ing,  and  for  the  continual  burnt  offering,  of  the  sabbaths,  of 
the  new  moons,  for  the  set  feasts,  and  for  the  holy  things,  and 


35  For  they  have  not  served  thee  in  their  kingdom,

fore them,  neither  turned  they   from  their  wicked 

36  works.  Behold,  we  are  servants  this  day,  and  as  for 
the  land  that  thou  gavest  unto  our  fathers  to  eat  the 
fruit  thereof  and  the  good  thereof,  behold,  we  are 

37  servants  in  it.  And  it  yieldeth  much  increase  unto 
the  kings  whom  thou  hast  set  over  us  because  of  our 
sins :  also  they  have  power  over  our  bodies,  and  over 
our  cattle,  at  their  pleasure,  and  we  are  in  great  dis

14  and  their  brethren,  mighty  men  of  valour,  an  hundred 
twenty  and  eight:  and  their  overseer  was  Zab'di-el,  'the 

15  son  of  Hag-ge-do'lim.  And  of  the  Le'vites:  Shem-a-i'ah 
the  son  of  Has'shub,  the  son  of  Az'ri-kam,  the  son  of 

16  Hash-a-bi'ah,  the  son  of  Bun'ni;  and  Shab-beth'a-i  and 
Joz'a-bad,  of  the  chiefs  of  the  Le'vites,  who  had  the 
oversight  of  the  outward  business  of  the  house  of  God; 

17  and  Mat-ta-ni'ah  the  son  of  Mi'ca,  the  son  of  Zab'di,the 
son  of  A'saph,  who  was  the  chief  to  begin  the  thanks- 
giving in  prayer,  and  Bak-buk-i'ah,  the  second  among 
his  brethren ;  and  Ab'da  the  son  of  Sham-mu'a,  the 

18  son  of  Ga'lal,  the  son  of  Jed'u-thun.  All  the  Le'vites 
in   the  holy  city  were  two  hundred  fourscore  and 

19  four.  Moreover  the  porters,  Ak'kub,  Tal'mon,  and 
their  brethren,  that  kept  watch  at  the  gates,  were  an 

20  hundred  seventy  and  two.  And  the  residue  of  Is'- 
ra-el, of  the  priests,  the  Le'vites,  were  in  all  the  cities 

21  of  Ju'dah,  every  one  in  his  inheritance.  But  the 
Neth'i-nim  dwelt  in  O'phel :  and  Zi'ha  and  Gish'pa 

22  were  over  the  Neth'i-nim.  The  overseer  also  of  the 
Le'vites  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  Uz'zi  the  son  of  Ba'ni,  the 
son  of  Hash-a-bi'ah,  the  son  of  Mat-ta-ni'ah,  the  son  of 
Mi'ca,  of  the  sons  of  A'saph,  the  singers,  over  the 

23  business  of  the  house  of  God.  For  there  was  a 
commandment  from  the  king  concerning  them,  and 
^&   settled   provision   for  the  singers,  as  every  day 

24  required.  And  Peth-a-hi'ah  the  son  of  Me-shez'a-bel, 
of  the  children  of  Ze'rah,  the  son  of  Ju'dah,  was  at  the 
king's  hand  in  all  matters  concerning  the  people. 

25  And  for  the  villages,  with  their  fields,  some  of  the 
children  of  Ju'dah  dwelt  in  Kir'i-ath-ar'ba  and  the 
^towns  thereof,  and  in  Di'bon  and  the  'towns  thereof, 

26  and  in  Je-kab'ze-el  and   the  villages   thereof;  and 
.in    Jesh'u-a,   and    in    Mol'a-dah,  and    Beth-pe'let; 

27  and  in  Ha-zar-shu'al,  and  in  Be'er-she'ba  and  the 

28  'towns  thereof;  and  in  Zik'lag,  and  in  Mec'o-nah  and 

29  in  the  Howns  thereof;  and  in   En-rim'mon,  and  in 

30  Zo'rah,and  in  Jar'muth;  Za-no'ah,  A-dul'lam,  and  their 
villages,  La'chish  and  the  fields  thereof,  A-ze'kah  and 
the  towns  thereof.     So  they  encamped  from  Be'er- 

31  she'ba  unto  the  valley  of  Hin-nom.  The  children  of 
Ben-ja'min  also  dwelt  from  Ge'ba  omoard,  at  Mich'- 
mash and  A-i'ja,  and  at  Beth'-el   and   the  'towns 

^thereof;  at  An'a-thoth,  Nob,  An-a-ni'ah;  Ha'zor,  Ra'- 
IJ  mah,  Git'ta-im ;  Ha'did,  Ze-bo'im,  Ne-bal'lat ;  Lod,  and 
36  O'no,  Hhe  valley  of  craftsmen.     And  of  the  Le'vites, 
certain  courses  in  Ju'dah  were  joined  to  Ben'ja-min 

i-^  Now  these  are  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  that 
went  up  with  Ze-rub'ba-bel  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  and 
2  Jesh'u-a ;  Ser-a-i'ah,  Jer-e-mi'ah,  Ez'ra ;  Am-a-ri'ah,

7  Je-da'iah;  Sal'lu,  A'mok,  Hil-ki'ah,  Je-da'iah. 
These  were  the  chiefs  of  the  priests  and  of  their 

8  brethren  in  the  days  of  Jesh'u-a.  Moreover  the 
Le'vites :  Jesh'u-a,  Bin-nu'i,  Kad'mi-el,  Sher-e-bi'ah, 
Ju'dah,  ond  Mat-ta-ni'ah,  which  was  over  "the  thanks- 

9  giving,  he  and  his  brethren.  Also  Bak-biik-i'ah  and 
Un'no,  their  brethren,  were  over  against  them  in 

10  wards.     And  Jesh'u-a  begat  Joi'a-kim,  and  Joi'a-kim

12  And  in  the  days  of  Joi'a-kim  were  priests,  the  chief  of 
the  fathers:  ofSer-a-i'ah,Mer-a-i'ah;  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,  Han-a-ni'ah; 

13  Of  Ez'ra,  Me-shul-lam ;  of  Am-a-ri'ah,  Je-ho-ha'nan ; 

14  Of  Mel'i-cu,  Jon'a-than;  of  Sheb-a-ni'ah,  Jo'seph; 
16  Of  Ha'rim,  Ad'na;  of  Me-ra'ioth,  Hel'ka-i ;

21  Of  Hil-ki'ah,  Hash-a-bi'ah ;  of  Je-da'iah,  Ne-than'e-el. 

22  ^The  Le'vites  in  the  days  of  E-li'a-shib,  Joi'a-da,  and 
Jo-ha'nan,  and  Jad-du'a,  were  recorded  chief  of  the  fathers : 
also  the  priests,  to  the  reign  of  Da-ri'us  the  Per'si-an. 

23  The  sons  of  Le'vi,  the  chief  the  fathers,  were  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  the  ■'^Chronicles,  even  until  the  days  of 
Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  E-li'a-shib. 

24  And  the  chief  of  the  Le'vites :  Hash-a-bi'ah,  Sher-e-bi'ah, 
and  Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  Kad'mi-el,  with  their  brethren  over 
against  them,  to  praise  and  to  give  thanks,  "according  to 
the  commandment  of  Da'vid  the  man  of  God,  'ward  over 
against  ward. 

25  Mat-ta-ni'ah,  and  Bak-buk-i'ah,  O-ba-di'ah,  Me-shul'- 
lam, Tal'mon,  Ak'kub,  were  porters  keeping  the  ward  at  the 
II  thresholds  of  the  gates. 

26  These  were  in  the  days  of  Joi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jesh'u-a, 
the  son  of  Joz'a-dak,  and  in  the  days  of  Ne-he-mi'ah  the 
governor,  and  of  Ez'ra  the  priest,  *the  scribe. 

27  ^And  at  'the  dedication  of  the  wall  of  Je-ru'salem  they 
sought  the  Le'vites  out  of  all  their  places,  to  bring  them  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  keep  the  dedication  with  gladness,  "both  with 
thanksgivings,  and  with  singing,  with  cymbals,  psalteries, 
and  with  harps. 

28  And  the  sons  of  the  singers  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, both  out  of  the  plain  country  round  about  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  from  the  villages  of  Ne-toph'a-thi ; 

29  Also  from  the  house  of  Gil'gal,  and  out  of  the  fields 
of  Ge'ba  and  Az'ma-veth :  for  the  singers  had  builded  them 
villages  round  about  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

30  And  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites  purified  themselves, 
and  purified  the  people,  and  the  gates,  and  the  wall. 

31  Then  I  brought  up  the  princes  of  Ju'dah  upon  the  wall, 
and  appointed  two  great  companies  of  them  thai  gave  thanks, 
whereof  "one  went  on  the  right  hand  upon  the  wall  "toward 
the  dung  gate: 

32  And  after  them  went  Hosh-a-i'ah,  and  half  of  the 
princes  of  Ju'dah, 

33  And  Az-a-ri'ah,  Ez'ra,  and  Me-shul'lam, 

34  Ju'dah,and Ben'ja-min,andShem-a-i'ah,and Jer-e-mi'ah, 

35  And  certain  of  the  priests'  sons  "with  trumpets ;  namely, 
Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Jon'a-than,  the  son  of  Shem-a-i'ab, 
the  son  of  Mat-ta-ni'ah,  the  son  of  Mi-cha'iah,  the  son  of 
Zac'cur,  the  son  of  A'saph: 

36  And  his  brethren,  Shem-a-i'ah,  and  A-zar'a-el,  Mil-a-la'i, 
Gil'a-lai,  Ma-a'i, Ne-than'e-el,  and  Ju'dah,  Ha-na'ni,with  «the 
musical  instruments  of  Da'vid  the  man  of  God,  and  Ez'ra 
the  scribe  before  them. 

37  ''And  at  the  fountain  gate,  which  was  over  against 
them,  they  went  up  by  'the  stairs  of  the  city  of  Da'vid,  at 
the  going  up  of  the  wall,  above  the  house  of  Da'vid  even 
unto  'the  water  gate  eastward. 

38  "And  the  other  company  of  them  that  gave  thanks 
went  over  against  them,  and  I  after  them,  and  the  half  of  the 
people  upon  the  wall,  from  beyond  ^the  tower  of  the  fur- 
naces even  unto  "the  broad  wall ; 

39  "And  from  above  the  gate  of  E'phra-im,  and  above  "the 
old  gate,  and  above  Hhe  fish  gate,  "and  the  tower  of  Ha- 
nan'e-el,  and  the  tower  of  Me'ah,  even  unto  ''the  sheep  gate : 
and  they  stood  still  in  'the  prison  gate. 


12  And  in  the  days  of  Joi'a-kim  were  priests,  heads  of  fa- 
thers' houses :  of  Ser-a-i'ah,  Mera-i'ah ;  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,

Le'vites  in  the  days  of  E-li'a-shib,  Joi'a-da,  and  Jo- 
ha'nan,  and  Jad-du'a,  were  recorded  heads  of  fathers 
houses:  also   the  priests,  ^in  the  reign  of  Da-ri'us 

23  the  Per'si-an.  The  sons  of  Le'vi,  heads  of  fathers 
houses,  were  written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles, 
even  until  the  days  of  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  E-li'a- 

24  shib.  And  the  chiefs  of  the  Le'vites :  Hash-a-bi'ah 
Sher-e-bi'ah,  and  Jesh'u-a  the  son  of  Kad'-mi-el, 
with  their  brethren  over  against  them,  to  praise 
and  give  thanks,  according  to  the  commandment  of 

25  Da'vid  the  man  of  God,  ward  against  ward.  Mat- 
ta-ni'ah,  and  Bak-buk-i'ah,  O-ba-di'ah,  Me-shul'lam, 
Tal'mon,  Ak'kub,  were  porters  keeping  the  ward  at 

26  the  storehouses  of  the  gates.  These  were  in  the  days 
of  Joi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jesh'u-a,  the  son  of  Joz'a-dak, 
and  in  the  days  of  Ne-he-mi'ah  the  governor,  and  of 
Ez'ra  the  priest  the  scribe. 

27  And  at  the  dedication  of  the  wall  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
they  sought  the  Le'vites  out  of  all  their  places,  to 
bring  them  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  keep  the  dedication  with 
gladness,  both  with  thanksgivings,  and  with  singing, 

28  with  cymbals,  psalteries,  and  with  harps.  And  the 
sons  of  the  singers  gathered  themselves  together, 
both  out  of  the  ^plain  round  about  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 

29  from  the  villages  ot  the  Ne-toph'a-thites ;  also  from 
Betth-gil'gal,  and  out  of  the  fields  of  Ge'ba  and  Az'ma 
veth:  for  the  singers  had  builded  them  villages  round 

30  about  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites 
purified  themselves;  and  they   purified  the  people, 

31  and  the  gates,  and  the  wall.  Then  I  brought  up  the 
princes  of  Ju'dah  upon  the  wall,  and  appointed  two 
great  companies  that  gave  thanks  and  went  in  pro- 
cession ;   whereof  one  went  on  the  right  hand  upon 

32  the  wall  toward  the  dung  gate :  and  after  them  went 

33  Hosh-a-i'ah,and  half  of  the  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and  Az- 

34  a-ri'ah,Ez'ra,and  Me-shul'lam,  Ju'dah,andB€n'ja-min,

36  of  A'saph ;  and  his  brethren,  Shem-a-i'ah,  and  Az'a-rel, 
Mil-a-la'i,  Gil'a-lai,  Ma-a'i,  Neth'a-nel,  and  Ju'dah,  Ha- 
na'ni  with  the  musical  instruments  of  Da'vid  the  man 

37  of  God  ;  and  Ez'ra  the  scribe  was  before  them :  and  by 
the  fountain  gate,  and  straight  before  them,  they  went 
up  by  the  stairs  of  the  city  of  Da'vid,  at  the  going  up 
of  the  wall,  above  the  house  of  Da'vid,  even  unto  the 

38  water  gate  eastward.  And  the  other  company  of 
them  that  gave  thanks  went  to  meet  them,  and  I  after 
them,  with  the  half  of  the  people,  upon  the  \vall, 
above  the  tower  of  the  furnaces,  even  unto  the  broad 

39  wall ;  and  above  the  gate  of  E'phra-im,  and  by  the  old 
gate,  and  by  the  fish  gate,  and  the  tower  of  Han'a-nel, 
aad  the  tower  of  *Ham-roe'ah,  even  unto  the  sheep 
gate :  and  they  stood  still  in  the  gate  of  the  guard.

40  So  stood  the  two  companies  of  them  that  gave  thanks 
in  the  house  of  God,  and  I,  and  the  half  of  the  rulers 
with  me : 

41  And  the  priests,  E-li'a-kim,  Ma-a-se'iah,  Mi-ni'a-min,  Mi-cha'- 
iah,  E-li-o-e'na-i,  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and  Han-a-ni'ah,  with  trumpets;

Uz'zi,  and  Je-ho-ha'nan,  and  Mal-chi'jah,and  E'lam,aud  E'zer. 
And  the  singers  fsang  loud,  with  Jez-ra-hi'ah  their  overseer. 

43  Also  that  day  they  offered  great  sacrifices,  and  re- 
joiced :  for  God  had  made  them  rejoice  with  great  joy  :  the 
wives  also  and  the  children  rejoiced:  so  that  the  joy  of 
Je-ru'salem  was  heard  even  afar  off. 

44  ^^And  at  that  time  were  some  appointed  over  the 
chambers  for  the  treasures,  for  the  offerings,  for  the  first- 
fruits,  and  for  the  tithes,  to  gather  into  them  out  of  the 
fields  of  the  cities  the  portions  ||of  the  law  for  the  priests 
and  Le'vites :  ffor  Ju'dah  rejoiced  for  the  priests  and  for  the 
Le'vites  fthat  waited. 

45  And  both  the  singers  and  the  porters  kept  the  ward  of 
their  God,  and  the  ward  of  the  purification,  "according  to 
the  commandment  of  Da'vid,  and  of  Sol'o-mon  his  son. 

46  For  in  the  days  of  Da'vid  ''and  A'saph  of  old  there  were 
chief  of  the  singers,  and  songs  of  praise  and  thanksgiving 
unto  God. 

47  And  all  Is'ra-el  in  the  days  of  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  and  in  the 
days  of  Ne-he-mi'ah,  gave  the  portions  of  the  singers  and  the 
porters,  every  day  his  portion:  'and  they  Usanctified  holy  things 
unto  the  Le'vites ;  *and  the  Le'vites  sanctified  them  unto  the 
children  of  Aa'ron. 

CHAPTER   XIII. 

Dirers  abuses  reformed  by  Nehemiah. 

ON  that  day  "fthey  read  in  the  book  of  Mo'ses  in  the 
faudience  of  the  people ;  and  therein  was  found  written, 
Hhat  the  Am'mon-ite  and  the  Mo'ab-ite  should  not  come 
into  the  congregation  of  God  for  ever ; 

2  Because  they  met  not  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  with  bread 
and  with  water,  but  "hired  Ba'Iaam  against  them,  that  he 
should  curse  them :  ''howbeit  our  God  turned  the  curse  into 
a  blessing. 

3  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  had  heard  the  law, 
'that  they  separated  from  Is'ra-el  all  the  mixed  multitude. 

4  ^ And  before  this,  E-li'a-shib  the  priestjfhaving  the  over- 
sight of  the  chamber  of  the  house  of  our  God,  was  allied 
unto  To-bi'ah: 

5  And  he  had  prepared  for  him  a  great  chamber,  Avhere 
aforetime  they  laid  the  meat  offerings,  the  frankincense,  and 
the  vessels,  and  the  tithes  of  the  corn,  the  new  wine,  and  the 
oil,  fwhich  was  commanded  to  be  given  to  the  Le'vites,  and 
the  singers,  and  the  porters;  and  the  offerings  of  the  priests. 

6  But  in  all  this  time  was  not  I  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  '■for  in  the 
two  and  thirtieth  year  of  Ar-tax-erx'es  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
came  I  unto  the  king,  and  fafter  certain  days  ||  obtained  I 
leave  of  the  king : 

7  And  I  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  understood  of  the  evil 
that  E-li'a-shib  did  for  To-bi'ah,  in  'preparing  him  a  chamber 
in  the  courts  of  the  house  of  God. 

8  And  it  grieved  me  sore :  therefore  I  cast  forth  all  the 
household  stuff  of  To-bi'ah  out  of  the  chamber. 

9  Then  I  commanded,  and  they  *cleansed  the  chambers : 
and  thither  brought  I  again  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  God, 
with  the  meat  offering  and  the  frankincense. 

10  ^And  I  perceived  that  the  portions  of  the  Le'vites  had 
'not  been  given  them:  for  the  Le'vites  and  the  singers,  that 
did  the  work,  were  fled  every  one  to  "his  field. 

11  Then  "contended  I  with  the  rulers  and  said,  "Why  is 
the  house  of  God  forsaken  ?  And  I  gathered  them  together, 
and  set  them  in  their  fplace. 

12  "Then  brought  all  Ju'dah  the  tithe  of  the  corn  and  the 
new  wine  and  the  oil  unto  the  11  treasuries. 


40  So  stood  the  two  companies  of  them  that  gave  thanks 
in  the  house  of  God,  and  I,  and  the  half  of  the  'rulers 

41  with  me :  and  the  priests,  E-li'a-kim,  Ma-a-se'iah,  Mi- 
ni'a-min,  Mi-ca'iah,  E-li-o-e'na-i,  Zech-a-ri'ah,  and 

42  Han-a-ni'ah,  with  trumpets;  and  Ma-a-se'iah,  andShem- 
a-i'ah,  and  E-le-a'zar,  and  Uz'zi,  and  Je-ho-ha'nan,  and 
Mal-chi'jah,  and  E'lam,  and  E'zer.     And  the  singers 

43  sang  loud,  with  Jez-ra-hi'ah  their  overseer.  And  they 
offered  great  sacrifices  that  day,  and  rejoiced ;  for 
God  had  made  them  rejoice  with  great  joy ;  and  the 
women  also  and  the  children  rejoiced:  so  that  the 
joy  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  heard  even  afar  off. 

44  And  on  that  day  were  men  appointed  over  the 
chambers  for  the  treasures,  for  the  heave  offerings, 
for  the  firstfruits,  and  for  the  tithes,  to  gather  into 
them,  according  to  the  fields  of  the  cities,  the  por- 
tions ^appointed  by  the  law  for  the  priests  and  Le'- 
vites :  for  Ju'dah  rejoiced  for  the  priests  and  for  the 

45  Le'vites  that  'waited.  And  they  kept  the  ward  of 
their  God,  and  the  ward  of  the  purification,  and  so 
did  the  singers  and  the  porters,  according  to  the 
commandment  of  Da'vid,  and  of  Sol'o-mon  his  son. 

46  For  in  the  days  of  Da'vid  and  A'saph  of  old  Hhere 
was  a  chief  of  the  singers,  and  songs  of  praise  and 

47  thanksgiving  unto  God.  And  all  Is'ra-el  in  the  days 
of  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  and  in  the  days  of  Ne-he-mi'ah,  gave 
the  portions  of  the  singers  and  the  porters,  as  every 
day  required:  and  they  sanctified  for  the  Le'vites; 
and  the  Le'vites  sanctified  for  the  sons  of  Aa'ron. 

-L^  On  that  day  they  read  in  the  book  of  Mo'ses  in 
the  audience  of  the  people;  and  therein  was  found 
written,  that  an  Am'mon-ite  and  a  Mo'ab-ite  should 

2  not  enter  into  the  assembly  of  God  for  ever ;  because 
they  met  not  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  with  bread 
and  with  water,  but  hired  Ba'Iaam  against  them,  to 
curse  them :  howbeit  our  God  turned  the  curse  into 

3  a  blessing.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  had 
heard  the  law,  that  they  separated  from  Is'ra-el  all 
the  mixed  multitude. 

4  Now  before  this,  E-li'a-shib  the  priest,  who  was 
appointed  over  the  'chambers  of  the  house  of  our 

5  God,  being  allied  unto  To-bi'ah,  had  prepared  for 
him  a  great  chamber,  where  aforetime  they  laid  the 
meal  offerings,  the  frankincense,  and  the  vessels, 
and  the  tithes  of  the  corn,  the  wine,  and  the  oil, 
which  were  given  by  commandment  to  the  Le'vites, 
and   the  singers,  and  the  porters;   and  the  heave 

6  offerings  for  the  priests.  But  in  all  this  time  I  was 
not  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  in  the  two  and  thirtieth  year 
of  Ar-tax-erx'es  king  of  Bab'y-lon  I  went  unto  the 
king,  and  after  certain  days  asked  I  leave  of  the 

7  king :  and  I  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  understood  of 
the  evil  that  E-li'a-shib  had  done  for  To-bi'ah,  in  pre- 
paring him  a  chamber  in  the  courts  of  the  house  of 

8  God.  And  it  grieved  me  sore :  therefore  I  cast 
forth  all  the  household  stuff  of  To-bi'ah  out  of  the 

9  chamber.  Then  I  commanded,  and  they  cleansed 
the  chambers:  and  thither  brought  I  again  the 
vessels  of  the  house  of  God,  with  the  meal  offer- 

lOings  and  the  frankincense.  And  I  perceived  that 
the  portions  of  the  Le'vites  had  not  been  given 
them;  so  that  the  Le'vites  and  the  singers,  that 
did    the  work,  were   fled    every   one  to  his   field. 

11  Then  contended  I  with  the  'rulers,  and  said.  Why 
is  the  house  of  God  forsaken  ?  And  I  gath- 
ered  them  together,  and  set  them  in  their  place. 

12  Then  brought  all  Ju'dah  the  tithe  of  the  corn 
and    the    wine    and    the    oil    unto    the   treasuries.

13  'And  I  made  treasurers  over  the  treasuries,  Shel-e-mi'ah 
the  priest,  and  Za'dok  the  scribe,  and  of  the  Le'vites,  Pe- 
da'iah:  and  fnext  to  them  was  Ha'nan  the  son  of  Zac'cur, 
the  son  of  Mat-ta-ni'ah  :  for  they  were  counted  'faithful,  and 
ftheir  office  was  to  distribute  unto  their  brethren. 

14  'Remember  me,  O  my  God,  concerning  this,  and  wipe 
not  out  my  tgood  deeds  that  I  have  done  for  the  house  of 
my  God,  and  for  the  ||  officers  thereof. 

15  ^In  those  days  saw  I  in  Ju'dah  some  treading  wine- 
presses 'on  the  sabbath,  and  bringing  in  sheaves,  and  lading 
asses;  as  also  wine,  grapes,  and  figs,  and  all  manner  of  bur- 
dens, "which  they  brought  into  Je-ru'sa-lem  on  the  sabbath 
day:  and  I  testified  against  them  in  the  day  wherein  they 
sold  victuals. 

16  There  dwelt  men  of  Tyre  also  therein,  which  brought 
fish,  and  all  manner  of  ware,  and  sold  on  the  sabbath  unto 
the  children  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

17  ""Then  I  contended  with  the  nobles  of  Ju'dah,  and  said 
finto  them,  What  evil  thing  is  this  that  ye  do,  and  profane 
the  sabbath  day? 

18  "Did  not  your  fathers  thus,  and  did  not  our  God  bring 
all  this  evil  upon  us,  and  upon  this  city  ?  yet  ye  bring  more 
wrath  upon  Is'ra-el  by  profaning  the  sabbath. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
'began  to  be  dark  before  the  sabbath,  I  commanded  that 
the  gates  should  be  shut,  and  charged  that  they  should  not 
be  opened  till  after  the  sabbath :  "and  some  of  my  servants 
set  I  at  the  gates,  that  there  should  no  burden  be  brought 
in  on  the  sabbath  day. 

20  So  the  merchants  and  sellers  of  all  kind  of  ware 
lodged  without  Je-ru'sa-lem  once  or  twice. 

21  Then  I  testified  against  them,  and  said  unto  them,  Why 
lodge  ye  fabout  the  wall?  if  ye  do  so  again,  I  will  lay 
hands  on  you.  From  that  time  forth  came  they  no  more 
on  the  sabbath. 

22  And  I  commanded  the  Le'vites,  that  'they  should 
cleanse  themselves,  and  that  they  should  come  and  keep 
the  gates,  to  sanctify  the  sabbath  day.  "^Remember  me,  O 
my  God,  concerning  this  also,  and  spare  me  according  to 
the  II  greatness  of  thy  mercy. 

23  ^In  those  days  also  saw  I  Jews  that  fhad  married 
wives  of  Ash'dod,  of  Am'mon,  and  of  Mo'ab : 

24  And  their  children  spake  half  in  the  speech  of  Ash'dod, 
and  fcould  not  speak  in  the  Jews'  language,  but  according 
to  the  language  fof  each  people. 

25  And  I  'contended  with  them,  and  ||  cursed  them,  and 
smote  certain  of  them,  and  plucked  off  their  hair,  and  made 
them  -^swear  by  God,  saying,Ye  shall  not  give  your  daugh- 
ters unto  their  sons,  nor  take  their  daughters  unto  your 
sons,  or  for  yourselves. 

26  "Did  not  Sol'o-mon  king  of  Is'ra-el  sin  by  these  things? 
yet  'among  many  nations  was  there  no. king  like  him,  *who 
was  beloved  of  his  God,  and  God  made  him  king  over  all 
Is'ra-el:  ^nevertheless  even  him  did  outlandish  women  cause 
to  sin. 

27  Shall  we  then  hearken  unto  you  to  do  all  this  great  evil, 
to  'transgress  against  our  God  in  marrying  strange  wives? 

28  And  one  of  the  sons  ™of  Joi'a-da,  the  son  of  E-li'a-shib  the 
high  priest,  was  son  in  law  to  San-bal'lat  the  Hor'o-nite: 
therefore  I  chased  him  from  me. 

29  "Remember  them,  O  my  God,  fbecause  they  have  de- 
filed the  priesthood,  and  "the  covenant  of  the  priesthood, 
and  of  the  Le'vites. 

30  ""Thus  cleansed  I  them  from  all  strangers,  and  'ap- 
pointed the  wards  of  the  priests  and  the  Le'vites,  every  one 
in  his  business; 

31  And  for  'the  wood  offering,  at  times  appointed,  and  for 
the  firstfruits.     'Remember  me,  O  my  God,  for  good. 


13  And  I  made  treasurers  over  the  treasuries,  Shel-e-mi'ah 
the  priest,  and  Za'dok  the  scribe,  and  of  the  Le'vites, 
Pe-da'iah  :  and  next  to  them  was  Ha'nan  the  son  of 
Zac'cur,  the  son  of  Mat-ta-ni'ah :  for  they  were  counted 
faithful,  and  their  business  was  to  distribute   unto 

14  their  brethren.  Remember  me,  O  my  God,  concern- 
ing this,  and  wipe  not  out  my  'good  deeds  that  I 
have  done  for  the  house  of  my  God,  and  for  the 
observances  thereof. 

15  In  those  days  saw  I  in  Ju'dah  some  treading 
winepresses  on  the  sabbath,  and  bringing  in 
^sheaves,  and  lading  asses  therewith;  as  also  wine, 
grapes,  and  figs,  and  all  manner  of  burdens,  which 
they  brought  into  Je-ru'sa-lem  on  the  sabbath  day : 
and  I  testified  against  them  in  the  day  wherein  they 

16  sold  victuals.  There  dwelt  men  of  Tyre  also  therein, 
which  brought  in  fish,  and  all  manner  of  ware,  and 
sold  on  the  sabbath  unto  the  children  of  Ju'dah,  and 

17  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Then  I  contended  with  the  nobles 
of  Ju'dah,  and  said  unto  them,  What  evil  thing  is 

18 this  that  ye  do,  and  profane  the  sabbath  day?  Did 
not  your  fathers  thus,  and  did  not  our  God  bring 
all  this  evil  upon  us,  and  upon  this  city?  yet  ye 
bring  more  wrath  upon  Is'ra-el  by  profaning  the  sab 

19  bath.  And  it  came  to  pass  that,  when  the  gates  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  began  to  be  dark  before  the  sabbath,  I 
commanded  that  the  doors  should  be  shut,  and 
commanded  that  they  should  not  be  opened  till 
after  the  sabbath :  and  some  of  my  servants  set  I 
over   the   gates,   that   there   should   no   burden   be 

20  brought  in  on  the  sabbath  day.  So  the  merchants 
and  sellers  of  all  kind  of  ware  lodged  without  Je-ru' 

21  sa-lem  once  or  twice.     Then  I  testified  against  them, 
and  said  unto  them.  Why  lodge  ye  'about  the  wall 
if  ye  do  so  again,  I  will  lay  hands  on  you.     From 
that  time  forth  came  they  no  more  on  the  sabbath. 

22  And  I  commanded  the  Le'vites  that   they   should 
purify  themselves,  and  that  they  should  come  and 
keep  the  gates,  to  sanctify  the   sabbath   day.     Re 
member  unto  me,  O  my  God,  this  also,  and  spare 
me  according  to  the  greatness  of  thy  mercy. 

23  In  those  days  also  saw  I  the  Jews  that  ^had  mar- 
ried women  of  Ash'dod,  of  Am'mon,  and  of  Mo'ab 

24  and  their  children  spake  half  in  the  speech  of 
Ash'dod,  and  could  not  speak  in  the  Jews'  language, 

25  but  according  to  the  language  of  each  people.  And 
I  contended  with  them,  and  ^cursed  them,  and  smote 
certain  of  them,  and  plucked  off  their  hair,  and  made 
them  swear  by  God,  saying,  Ye  shall  not  give  your 
daughters  unto  their  sons,  nor  take  their  daughters 

26  for  your  sons,  or  for  yourselves.  Did  not  Sol'o-mon 
king  of  Is'ra-el  sin  by  these  things?  yet  among 
many  nations  was  there  no  king  like  him,  and  he 
was  beloved  of  his  God,  and  God  made  him  king 
over  all  Is'ra-el :  nevertheless  even  him  did  strange 

27  women  cause  to  sin.  Shall  we  then  hearken  unto 
you  to  do  all  this  great  evil,  to  trespass  against  our 

28 God  in  marrying  strange  women?  And  one  of  the 
sons  of  Joi'a-da,  the  son  of  E-li'a-shib  the  high  priest, 
was  son  in  law  to  San-bal'lat  the  Hor'o-nite :  therefore 

291  chased  him  from  me.  Remember  them,  O  my 
God,  ^because  they  have  defiled  the  priesthood,  and 
the  covenant  of  the  priesthood,  and  of  the  Le'vites. 

30  Thus  cleansed  I  them  from  'all  strangers,  and 
appointed  wards  for  the  priests  and  for  the  Le'vites, 

31  every  one  in  his  work ;  and  for  the  wood  offering, 
at  times  appointed,  and  for  the  firstfruits.  Remem- 
ber me,  O  my  God,  for  good.

CHAPTER   I. 

Ahasuerus  makeih  royal  /easts —  Vashti  sent  for, 

TyrOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  "A-has-u-e'rus,  (this  m 
X\  A-has-u-e'rus  which  reigned  'from  In'di-a  even  unto 
E-thi-o'pi-a/oDer  a  hundred  and  seven  and  twenty  provinces,) 

2  Thai  in  those  days, when  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  ''sat  on  the 
throne  of  his  kingdom,  which  wa%  in  'Shu'shan  the  palace, 

3  In  the  third  year  of  his  reign,  he  •'^made  a  feast  unto  all 
his  princes  and  his  servants;  the  power  of  Per'si-a  and  Me'di-a, 
the  nobles  and  princes  of  the  provinces,  being  before  him : 

4  WheB  he  shewed  the  riches  of  his  glorious  kingdom 
and  the  honour  of  his  excellent  majesty  many  days,  even 
a  hundred  and  fourscore  days. 

5  And  when  these  days  were  expired,  the  king  made  a 
feast  unto  all  the  people  that  were  fpresent  in  Shu'shan  the 
palace,  both  unto  great  and  small,  seven  days,  in  the  court 
of  the  garden  of  the  king's  palace ; 

6  Where  were  white,  green,  and  ||blue  hangings,  fastened 
with  cords  of  fine  linen  and  purple  to  silver  rings  and  pil- 
lars of  marble :  "the  beds  were  of  gold  and  silver,  upon  a 
pavement  ||  of  red,  and  blue,  and  white,  and  black  marble. 

7  And  they  gave  them  drink  in  vessels  of  gold,  (the  ves- 
sels being  diverse  one  from  another,)  and  froyal  wine  in 
abundance,  faccording  to  the  state  of  the  king. 

8  And  the  drinking  was  according  to  the  law ;  none  did  com- 
pel :  for  so  the  king  had  appointed  to  all  the  officers  of  his 
house,  that  they  should  do  according  to  every  man's  pleasure. 

9  Also  Vash'ti  the  queen  made  a  feast  for  the  women  in 
the  royal  house  which  belonged  to  king  A-has-u-e'rus. 

10  ^On  the  seventh  day,  when  ''the  heart  of  the  king  was 
merry  with  wine,  he  commanded  Me-hu'man,  Biz'tha,'Har-bo'- 
na,  Big'tha,  and  A-bag'tha,  Ze'thar,  and  Car  cas,  the  seven  |  |cham- 
berlains  that  served  in  the  presence  of  A-has-u-e'rus  the  king, 

11  To  bring  Vash'ti  the  queen  before  the  king  with  the 
crown  royal,  to  shew  the  people  and  the  princes  her  beauty : 
for  she  was  ffeir  to  look  on. 

12  But  the  queen  Vash'ti  refused  to  come  at  the  king's 
commandment  fby  his  chamberlains:  therefore  was  the 
king  very  wroth,  and  his  anger  burned  in  him. 

13  ^Then  the  king  said  to  the  *wise  men,  'which  knew 
the  times,  (for  so  was  the  king's  manner  toward  all  that 
knew  law  and  judgment : 

14  And  the  next  unto  him  was  Car-she'na,  She'thar,  Ad'- 
ma-tha,  Tar'shish,  Me' res,  Mar'se-na,  and  Me-mu'can,  the 
"seven  princes  of  Per'si-a  and  Me'di-a,  "which  saw  the  king's 
fece,  and  which  sat  the  first  in  the  kingdom,) 

15  fWhat  shall  we  do  unto  the  queen  Vash'ti  according 
to  law,  because  she  hath  not  performed  the  commandment 
of  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  by  tnechamberkins? 

16  And  Me-mu'can  answered  before  the  king  and  the 
princes,  Vash'ti  the  queen  hath  not  done  wrong  to  the  king 
only,  but  also  to  all  the  princes,  and  to  all  the  people  that 
are  in  all  the  provinces  of  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus. 

17  For  <Am  deed  of  the  queen  shall  come  abroad  unto  all 
women,  so  that  they  shall  "despise  their  husbands  in  their 
eyes,  when  it  shall  be  reported.  The  king  A-has-u-e'rus 
commanded  Vash'ti  the  queen  to  be  brought  in  before  him, 
but  she  came  not. 

18  Likewise  shall  the  ladies  of  Per'si-a  and  Me'di-a  say  this 
day  unto  all  the  king's  princes,  which  have  heard  of  the 
deed  of  the  queen.  Thus  shall  there  arise  too  much  con- 
tempt and  wrath. 

19  tif  it  please  the  king,  let  there  go  a  royal  command-

4-  Now  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  'A-has-u-e'rus, 
(this  is  A-has-u-e'rus  which  reigned,  from  In'di-a  even 
unto  E-thi-o'pi-a,  over  an  hundred  and  seven  and  twenty 

2  provinces:)  that  in  those  days  when  the  kingA-has-u-e'- 
rus  saton  the  throne  of  his  kingdom,which  was  in  Shu'- 

3  shan  the  ^palace,  in  the  third  year  of  his  reign,  he  made 
a  feast  unto  all  his  princes  and  his  servants ;  the  power 
of  Per'si-a  and  Me'di-a,  the  nobles  and  princes  of  the 

4  provinces,  being  before  him :  when  he  shewed  the 
riches  of  his  glorious  kingdom  and  the  honour  of  his 
excellent  majesty  many  days,  even  an  hundred  and 

5  fourscore  days.  And  when  these  days  were  fulfilled, 
the  king  made  a  feast  unto  all  the  people  that  were  pres- 
ent in  Shu'shan  the  palace,  both  great  and  small,  seven 
days,  in  the  court  of  the  garden  of  the  king's  palace ; 

6  there  were  hangings  of  'white  chth,  oj  ^green,  and  of 
blue,  fastened  with  cords  of  fine  linen  and  purple  to 
silver  rings  and  pillars  of  marble :  the  couches  were  of 
gold  and  silver,  upon  a  pavement  "of  red,  and  white, 

7  and  yellow,  and  black  marble.  And  they  gave  them 
drink  in  vessels  of  gold,  (the  vessels  being  diverse  one 
from  another,)  and  royal  wine  in  abundance,  accord- 

8  ing  to  the  'bounty  of  the  king.  And  the  drinking  was 
according  to  the  law ;  none  could  compel :  for  so  the 
king  had  appointed  to  all  the  officers  of  his  house,  that 
they  should  do  according  to  every  man's  pleasure. 

9  Also  Vash'ti  the  queen  made  a  feast  for  the  women 
in  the  royal  house  which  belonged  to  king  A-has- 

10  u-e'rus.  On  the  seventh  day,  when  the  heart  of  the 
king  was  merry  with  wine,  he  commanded  Me-hu'man, 
Biz'tha,  Har-bo'na,  Big'tha,  and  A-bag'tha,  Ze'thar, 
and  Car'cas,  the  seven  'chamberlains  that  ministered 

11  in  the  presence  of  A-has-u-e'rus  the  king,  to  bring 
Vash'ti  the  queen  before  the  king  with  the  crown 
royal,  to    shew    the    peoples   and    the   princes   her 

12 beauty:  for  she  was  fair  to  look  on.  But  the  queen 
Vash'ti  refused  to  come  at  the  king's  commandment 
by  the  chamberlains:  therefore  was  the  king  very 

13  wroth,  and  his  anger  burned  in  him.  Then  the 
king  said  to  the  wise  men,  which  knew  the  times, 
(for  so  was  the  king's  manner  toward  all  that  knew 

14  law  and  judgement ;  and  the  next  unto  him  was  Car- 
she'na,  She'thar,  Ad'ma-tha,  Tar'shish,  Me'res,  Mar'- 
se-na, and  Me-mu'can,  the  seven  princes  of  Per'si-a  and 
Me'di-a,  which  saw  the  king's  face,  and  sat  first  in  the 

16  kingdom  :)  What  shall  we  do  unto  the  queen  Vash'ti 
according  to  law,  because  she  hath  not  done  the 
bidding  of  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  by  the  chamberlains? 

16  And  Me-mu'can  answered  before  the  king  and  the 
princes,  Vash'ti  the  queen  hath  not  done  wrong  to 
the  king  only,  but  also  to  all  the  princes,  and  to  all 
the  peoples  that  are  in  all  the  provinces  of  the  king 

17  A-has-u-e'rus.  For  this  deed  of  the  queen  shall  come 
abroad  unto  all  women,  to  make  their  husbands 
contemptible  in  their  eyes,  when  it  shall  be  re- 
ported. The  king  A-has-u-e'rus  commanded  Vash'ti 
the   queen  to  be  brought   in   before   him,  but  she 

18  came  not.  And  this  day  shall  the  princesses  of 
Per'si-a  and  Me'di-a  which  have  heard  of  the  deed  of 
the  queen  *say  the  like  unto  all   the  king's  princes. 

19 So  shall  there  arise  'much  contempt  and  wrath.  If  it 
please  the  king,  let  there  go  forth  a  royal  command-

ment  ffrom  him,  and  let  it  be  written  among  the  laws  of  the 
Per'si-ans  and  the  Medes,  fthat  it  be  not  altered,  That  Vash'ti 
come  no  more  before  king  A-has-u-e'rus :  and  let  the  king 
give  her  royal  estate  funto  another  that  is  better  than  she.

21  And  the  saying  fpleased  the  king  and  the  princes ;  and 
tJie  king  did  according  to  the  word  of  Me-mu'can : 

22  For  he  sent  letters  into  all  the  king's  provinces,  'into 
every  province  according  to  the  writing  thereof,  and  to  every 
people  after  their  language,  that  every  man  should  ''bear  rule 
in  his  own  house :  and  fthat  it  should  be  published  accord- 
ing to  the  language  of  every  people. 

CHAPTER  II. 

Out  of  the  choice  of  virgins  a  queen  is  to  be  chosen. 

AFTER  these  things,  when  the  wrath  of  king  A-has-u-e'- 
rus was  appeased,  he  remembered  Vash'ti,  and  what  she 
had  done,  and  "what  was  decreed  against  her. 

2  Then  said  the  king's  servants  that  ministered  unto  him. 
Let  there  be  fair  young  virgins  sought  for  the  king : 

3  And  let  the  king  appoint  officers  in  all  the  provinces  of  his 
kingdom,that  they  may  gather  together  all  the  fair  young  vir- 
gins unto  Shu'shan  the  palace,  to  the  house  of  the  women,  funto 
the  custody  of  ||  He'ge  the  king's  chamberlain,  keeper  of  the 
women ;  and  let  their  things  for  purification  be  given  ihem: 

4  And  let  the  maiden  which  pleaseth  the  king  be  queen  in- 
stead of  Vash'ti.  And  the  thing  pleased  the  king;  and  hedidso. 

5  *^Now  in  Shu'shan  the  palace  there  was  a  certain  Jew, 
whose  name  was  Mor'de-cai,  the  son  of  Ja'ir,  the  son  of 
Shim'e-i,  the  son  of  Kish,  a  Ben'ja-mite ; 

6  'Who  had  been  carried  away  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  the 
captivity  which  had  been  carried  away  with  ||  Jec-o-ni'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah,  whom  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  had  carried  away. 

7  And  he  fbrought  up  Ha-das'sah,  that  is  Es'ther,  ''his 
uncle's  daughter :  for  she  had  neither  father  nor  mother,  and 
the  maid  was  ffair  and  beautiful;  whom  Mor'de-cai,  when 
her  father  and  mother  were  dead,  took  for  his  own  daughter. 

8  1[So  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king's  commandment  and 
his  decree  was  heard,  and  when  many  maidens  were  ''gath- 
ered together  unto  Shu'shan  the  palace,  to  the  custody  of 
He'gai,  that  Es'ther  was  brought  also  unto  the  king's  house, 
to  the  custody  of  He'gai,  keeper  of  the  women. 

9  And  the  maiden  pleased  him,  and  she  obtained  kindness 
of  him;  and  he  speedily  gave  her  her  'things  for  purifica- 
tion, with  f  such  things  as  belonged  to  her,  and  seven  maid- 
ens which  were  meet  to  be  given  her,  out  of  the  king's 
house:  and  fhe  preferred  her  and  her  maids  unto  the  best 
place  of  the  house  of  the  women. 

10  ■'^Es'ther  had  not  shewed  her  people  nor  her  kindred:  for 
Mor'de-cai  had  charged  her  that  she  should  not  shew  it. 

11  And  Mor'de-cai  walked  every  day  before  the  court  of 
the  women's  house,  fto  know  how  Es'ther  did,  and  what 
should  become  of  her. 

12  ^Now  when  every  maid's  turn  was  come  to  go  in  to 
king  A-has-u-e'rus,  after  that  she  had  been  twelve  months, 
according  to  the  manner  of  the  women,  (for  so  were  the 
days  of  their  purifications  accomplished,  to  wit,  six  months 
with  oil  of  myrrh,  and  six  months  with  sweet  odours,  and 
with  other  things  for  the  purifying  of  the  women,) 

13  Then  thus  came  every  maiden  unto  the  king;  whatso- 
ever she  desired  was  given  her  to  go  with  her  out  of  the 
house  of  the  women  unto  the  king's  house. 

14  In  the  evening  she  went,  and  on  the  morrow  she  re- 
turned into  the  second  house  of  the  women,  to  the  custody 
of  Sha-ash'gaz,  the  king's  chamberlain,  which  kept  the  con- 
cubines :  she  came  in  unto  the  king  no  more,  except  the 
king  delighted  in  her,  and  that  she  were  called  by  name. 


ment  from  him,  and  let  it  be  writt«n  among  the  laws 
of  the  Per'si-ans  and  the  Medes,  'that  it  be  not  altered, 
that  Vash'ti  come  no  more  before  king  A-has-u-e'rus; 
and  let  the  king  give  her  royal  estate  ^unto  another 

20  that  is  better  than  she.  And  when  the  king's  decree 
which  he  shall  make  shall  be  published  throughout 
all  his  kingdom,  (for  it  is  great,)  all  the  wives  shall 
give  to  their  husbands  honour,  both  to  great  and  small. 

21  And  the  saying  pleased  the  king  and  the  princes ; 
and  the  king  did  according  to  the  word  of  Me-mu'can 

22  for  he  sent  letters  into  all  the  king's  provinces,  into 
every  province  according  to  the  writing  thereof,  and 
to  every  people  after  their  language,  that  every  man 
should  bear  rule  in  his  own  house,  and  should  pub' 
lish  it  according  to  the  language  of  his  people. 

^      After  these  things,  when  the  wrath  of  king  A-has 
u-e'rus  was  pacified,  he  remembered  Vash'ti,  and  what 

2  she  had  done,  and  what  was  decreed  against  her.  Then 
said  the  king's  servants  that  ministered  unto  him.  Let 

3  there  be  fair  young  virgins  sought  for  the  king :  and  let 
the  king  appoint  officers  in  all  the  provinces  of  his 
kingdom,  that  they  may  gather  together  all  the  fair 
young  virgins  unto  Shu'shan  the  palace,  to  the  house 
of  the  women,  unto  the  custody  of  ^He'gai  the  king's 
chamberlain,  keeper  of  the    women;   and  let   their 

4 things  for  purification  be  given  them:  and  let  the 
maiden  which  pleaseth  the  king  be  queen  instead  of 
Vash'ti.  Andtlie thing  pleased  the  king ;  and  he  did  so. 

5  There  was  acertain  Jew  in  Shu'shan  thepalace,whose 
name  was  Mor'de-cai,the  sou  of  Ja'ir,thesonof  Shim'e-i, 

6 the  son  of  Kish,  a  Ben'ja-mite;  who  had  been  carried 
away  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  the  captives  which  had  been 
carried  away  with  *  Jec-o-ni'ah  kingofJu'dah,whom  Neb- 
u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  carried  away 

7  And  he  ^brought  up  Ha-das'sah,  that  is,  Es'ther,  his  un- 
cle's daughter  :  for  she  had  neither  father  nor  mother, 
and  the  maiden  was  fair  and  beautiful ;  and  when  her 
father  and  mother  were  dead,  Mor'de-cai  took  her  for 

8  his  own  daughter.  So  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  king's 
commandment  and  his  decree  was  heard,  and  when 
many  maidens  were  gathered  together  unto  Shu'shan 
the  palace,  to  the  custody  of  He'gai,  that  Es'ther  was 
taken  into  the  king's  house,  to  the  custody  of  He'gai, 

9  keeper  of  the  women.  And  the  maiden  pleased  him, 
and  she  obtained  kindness  of  him;  and  he  speedily  gave 
her  her  things  for  purification,  with  her  portions,  and 
the  seven  maidens, which  were  meet  to  be  given  her,out 
of  the  king's  house :  and  he  removed  her  and  her  maid 

10  ens  to  the  best  place  of  the  house  of  the  women.  Es'ther 
had  not  shewed  her  people  nor  her  kindred:  forMor'de- 

11  cai  had  charged  her  that  she  should  not  shew  it.  And 
Mor'de-cai  walked  every  day  before  the  court  of  the 
women's  house,  to  know  how  Es'ther  did,  and  what 

12  should  become  of  her.  Now  when  the  turn  of  every 
maiden  was  come  to  go  in  to  king  A-has-u-e'rus,  after 
that  it  had  been  done  to  her  according  to  the  law  for 
the  women,  twelve  months,  (for  so  were  the  days  of 
their  purifications  accomplished,  to  wit,  six  months 
with  oil  of  myrrh,  and  six  months  with  sweet  odours, 
and  with  the  things  for  the  purifying  of  the  women,) 

13  then  in  this  wise  came  the  maiden  unto  the  king,  what- 
soever she  desired  was  given  her  to  go  with  her  out  of 

14  the  house  of  the  women  unto  the  king's  house.  In  the 
evening  she  went,  and  on  the  morrow  she  returned 
into  the  second  house  of  the  women,  to  the  custody  of 
Sha-ash'gaz,  the  king's  chamberlain,which  kept  the  con- 
cubines :  she  came  in  unto  the  king  no  more,  except  the 
king  delighted  in  her,  and  that  she  were  called  by  name.

16  ^[Now  wnen  the  turn  of  Es'ther,  'the  daughter  of 
Ab-i-ha'il  the  uncle  of  Mor'de-cai,  who  had  taken  her  for  his 
daughter,  was  come  to  go  in  unto  the  king,  she  required 
nothing  but  what  He'gai  the  king's  chamberlain,  the  keeper 
of  the  women,  appointed.  And  Es'ther  obtained  favour  in 
the  sight  of  all  them  that  looked  upon  her. 

16  So  Es'ther  was  taken  unto  king  A-has-u-e'rus  into  his 
house  royal  in  the  tenth  month,  which  is  the  month  Te'beth, 
in  the  seventh  year  of  his  reign. 

17  And  the  king  loved  Es'ther  above  all  the  women,  and 
she  obtained  grace  and  ||  favour  fin  his  sight  more  than  all 
the  virgins ;  so  that  he  set  the  royal  crown  upon  her  head, 
and  made  her  queen  instead  of  Vash'ti. 

18  Then  the  king  'made  a  great  feast  unto  all  his  princes  and 
his  servants,  even  Es'ther's  feast ;  and  he  made  a  frelease  to 
the  provinces,  and  gave  gifts,  accordingto  the  state  of  the  king. 

19  And  when  the  virgins  were  gathered  together  the 
second  time,  then  Mor'de-cai  sat  'in  the  king's  gate. 

20  *Estherhad  not  yet  shewed  her  kindred,  nor  her  people, 
as  Mor'de-cai  had  charged  her :  for  Es'ther  did  the  command- 
ment of  Mor'de-cai,  like  as  when  she  was  brought  up  with  him. 

21  •[[In  those  days,while  Mor'de-cai  sat  in  the  king's  gate, 
two  of  the  king's  chamberlains,  ||  Big'than  and  Te'resh,  of 
those  which  kept  fthe  door,  were  wroth,  and  sought  to  lay 
hand  on  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus. 

22  And  the  thing  was  known  to  Mor'de-cai,  ""who  told  it 
unto  Es'ther  the  queen :  and  Es'ther  certified  the  king 
thereof  in  Mor'de-cai's  name. 

23  And  when  inquisition  was  made  of  the  matter,  it  was 
found  out ;  therefore  they  were  both  hanged  on  a  tree :  and 
it  was  written  in  "the  book  of  the  Chronicles  before  the  king. 

CHAPTER  III. 

Haman  seeketh  revenge  upon  all  the  Jews. 

A  FTER  these  things  did  king  A-has-u-e'rus  promote  Ha' man 
-^  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha  the  ''A'gag-ite,  and  advanced 
him,  and  set  his  seat  above  all  the  princes  that  were  with  him. 

2  And  all  the  king's  servants,  that  were  "in  the  king's  gate, 
bowed,  and  reverenced  Ha' man :  for  the  king  had  so  com- 
manded concerning  him.  But  Mor'de-cai  ''bowed  not,  nor 
did  him  reverence. 

3  Then  the  king's  servants,  which  were  in  the  king's  gate, 
said  unto  Mor'de-cai,  Why  transgressest  thou  the  'king's 
commandment? 

4  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  spake  daily  unto  him, 
and  he  hearkened  not  unto  them,  that  they  told  Ha'man,  to 
see  whether  Mor'de-cai's  matters  would  stand:  for  he  had 
told  them  that  he  wa»  a  Jew. 

5  And  when  Ha'man  saw  that  Mor'de-cai  -^bowed  not,  nor 
did  him  reverence,  then  was  Ha'man  "full  of  wrath. 

6  AndhethoughtscorntolayhandsonMor'de-caialone;  for 
they  had  shewed  him  the  people  of  Mor'de-cai :  wherefore  Ha'- 
man *sought  to  destroy  all  the  Jews  that  were  throughout  the 
whole  kingdom  of  A-has-u-e'rus,  even  the  people  of  Mor'de-cai. 

7  ^In  the  first  month,  that  is,  the  month  Ni'san,  in  the 
twelfth  year  of  king  A-has-u-e'rus, 'they  cast  Pur,  that  is,  the 
lot,  before  Ha'man  from  day  to  day,  and  from  month  to 
month,  to  the  twelfth  month,  that  is,  the  month  A'dar. 

8  51  And  Ha'man  said  unto  king  A-has-u-e'rus,  There  is  a  cer- 
tain people  scattered  abroad  and  dispersed  among  the  peo- 

Sle  in  all  the  provinces  of  thy  kingdom ;  and  Hheir  laws  are 
i verse  from  all  people;  neither  keep  they  the  king's  laws: 
therefore  it  is  not  ffor  the  king's  profit  to  suffer  them. 

9  If  it  please  the  king,  let  it  be  written  fthat  they  may  be 
destroyea :  and  I  will  tp^y  ten  thousand  talents  of  silver 
to  the  hands  of  those  that  have  the  charge  of  the  business, 
to  bring  U  into  the  king's  treasuries. 

10  And  the  king  'took  ""his  ring  from  his  hand,  and  gave  it 
unto  Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha  the  A'gag-ite,  the 
Jews'  II  enemy. 


1 5  Now  when  the  turn  of  Es  ther,  the  daughter  of  Ab-i-na  il 
the  uncle  of  Mor'deK;ai,who  had  taken  her  for  his  daugh 
ter,  was  come  to  go  in  unto  the  king,  she  required 
nothing  but  what  He'gai  the  king's  chamberlain,  the 
keeper  of  the  women,  appointed.  And  Es'ther  obtained 
favour  in  the  sight  of  all  them  that  looked  upon  her. 

16  So  Es'ther  was  taken  unto  king  A-has-u-e'rus  into  his 
house  royal  in  the  tenth  month,  which  is  the  month 

17  Te'beth,  in  the  seventh  year  of  his  reign.  And  the  king 
loved  Es'ther  above  all  the  women,  and  she  obtained 
grace  and  favour  in  his  sight  more  than  all  the  virgins; 
so  that  he  set  the  royal  crown  upon  her  head,  and  made 

18  her  queen  instead  of  Vash'ti.  Then  the  king  made  a 
great  feast  unto  all  his  princes  and  \ils  servants,  even 
Es'ther's  feast ;  and  he  made  a  'release  to  the  provinces, 
and  gave  gifls,  according  to  the  ^bounty  of  the  king. 

19  And  when  the  virgins  were  gathered  together  the 
second  time,  then  Mor'de-cai  sat  in  the  king's  gate. 

20  Es'ther  had  not  yet  shewed  her  kindred  nor  her  peo 
pie ;  as  Mor'de-cai  had  charged  her :  for  Es'ther  did  the 
commandment  of  Mor'de-cai,  like  as  when  she  was 

21  brought  up  with  him.  In  those  days,  while  Mor'de- 
cai  sat  in  the  king's  gate,  two  of  the  king's  chamber- 
lains, Big'than  and  Te'resh,  of  those  which  kept  the 
'door,  were  wroth,  and  sought  to  lay  hands  on  the  king 

22  A-has-u-e'rus.  And  the  thing  was  known  to  Mor'de-cai, 
who  shewed  it  unto  Es'ther  the  queen ;  and  Es'ther  told 

23  the  king  thereof  m  Mor'de-cai's  name.    And  when  in 
quisition  was  made  of  the  matter,  and  it  was  found  to 
be  so,  they  were  both  hanged  on  a  tree :  and  it  was 
written  in  the  book  of  the  chronicles  before  the  king. 

O  After  these  things  did  king  A-has-u-e'rus  promote 
Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha  the  A'gag-ite,  and 
advanced  him,  and  set  his  seat  above  all  the  princes 

2  that  were  with  him.  And  all  the  king's  servants, 
that  were  in  the  king's  gate,  bowed  down,  and  did 
reverence  to  Ha'man  :  for  the  king  had  so  commanded 
concerning  him.     But  Mor'de-cai  bowed  not  down, 

3  nor  did  him  reverence.  Then  the  king's  servants, 
that  were  in  the  king's  gate,  said  unto  Mor'de-cai, 
Why  transgressest  thou  the  king's  commandment? 

4  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  spake  daily  unto 
him,  and  he  hearkened  not  unto  them,  that  they 
told  Ha'man,  to  see  whether  Mor'de-cai's  ^matters 
would  stand :  for  he  had  told  them  that  he  was  a 

5  Jew.  And  when  Ha'man  saw  that  Mor'de-cai  bowed 
not  down,  nor  did  him  reverence,  then  was  Ha'man 

6  full  of  wrath.  But  he  thought  scorn  to  lay  hands 
on  Mor'de-cai  alone;  for  they  had  shewed  him  the 
people  of  Mor'de-cai :  wherefore  Ha'man  sought  to 
destroy  all  the  Jews  that  were  throughout  the  whole 
kingdom  of  A-has-u-e'rus,  even  the  people  of  Mor'de-cai. 

7  In  the  first  month,  which  is  the  month  Ni'san,  in  the 
twelfth  year  of  king  A-has-u-e'rus,  they  cast  Pur,  that 
is,  the  lot,  before  Ha'man  from  day  to  day,  and  from 
month  to  month,  to  the  twelfth  month,  which  is  the 

8  month  A'dar.  And  Ha'man  said  unto  king  A-has-u-e'rus, 
There  is  a  certain  people  scattered  abroad  and  'dis- 
persed among  the  peoples  in  all  the  provinces  of  thy 
kingdom ;  and  their  laws  are  diverse  from  those  of  every 
people ;  neither  keep  they  the  king's  laws :  therefore 

9  it  is  not  ^for  the  king's  profit  to  sufier  them.  If  it  please 
the  king,  let  it  be  written  that  they  be  destroyed:  and 
I  will  pay  ten  thousand  talents  of  silver  into  the  hands 
of  those  that  have  the  charge  of  the  king's  business, 

10  to  bring  it  into  the  king's  treasuries.  And  the  king 
took  his  ring  from  his  hand,  and  gave  it  unto  Ha'man 
the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha  the  A'gag-ite,  the  Je  ws'«nemy .

1 1  And  the  king  said  untoHa'man,The  silver  w  given  to  thee, 
the  people  also,  to  do  with  them  as  it  seemeth  good  to  thee. 

12  "Then  were  the  king's  ||  scribes  called  on  the  thirteenth 
day  of  the  first  month,  and  there  was  written  according  to  all 
that  Ha'man  had  commanded  unto  the  king's  lieutenants, 
and  to  the  governors  that  were  over  every  province,  and  to 
the  rulers  of  every  people  of  every  province  "according  to 
the  writing  thereof,  and  to  every  people  after  their  language  ; 
"in  the  name  of  king  A-has-u-e'rus  was  it  written,  and  sealed 
with  the  king's  ring. 

13  And  the  letters  were  'sent  by  posts  into  all  the  king's 
provinces,  to  destroy,  to  kill,  and  to  cause  to  perish,  all 
Jews,  both  young  and  old,  little  children  and  women,  'in 
one  day,  even  upon  the  thirteenth  day  of  the  twelfth 
month,  which  is  the  month  A'dar,  and  'to  take  the  spoil 
of  them  for  a  prey. 

14  'The  copy  of  the  writing  for  a  commandment  to  be 
given  in  every  province  was  published  unto  all  people,  that 
they  should  be  ready  against  that  day. 

15  The  posts  went  out,  being  hastened  by  the  king's 
commandment,  and  the  decree  was  given  in  Shu'shan  the 
palace.  And  the  king  and  Ha'man  sat  down  to  drink ;  but 
"the  city  Shu'shan  was  perplexed. 

CHAPTER   IV. 

The  g-reat  mourning;  of  Mordecai  and  the  Jews. 

WHEN  Mor'de-cai  perceived  all  that  was  done,Mor'de-cai'^ent 
his  clothes,  and  put  on  sackcloth  ''with  ashes,  and  went  out 
into  the  midst  of  the  city,  and  "cried  with  a  loud  and  a  bitter  cry; 

2  And  came  even  before  the  king's  gate :  for  none  might 
enter  into  the  king's  gate  clothed  with  sackcloth. 

3  And  in  every  province  whithersoever  the  king's  com- 
mandment and  his  decree  came,  there  was  great  mourning 
among  the  Jews,  and  fasting,  and  weeping,  and  wailing; 
and  fmany  lay  in  sackcloth  and  ashes. 

4  ^So  Es'ther's  maids  and  her  fchamberlains  came  and 
told  it  her.  Then  was  the  queen  exceedingly  grieved;  and 
she  sent  raiment  to  clothe  Mor'de-cai,  and  to  take  away  his 
sackcloth  from  him :  but  he  received  it  not. 

5  Then  called  Es'ther  for  Ha'tach,  one  of  the  king's  cham- 
berlains fwhom  he  had  appointed  to  attend  upon  her,  and 
gave  him  a  commandment  to  Mor'de-cai,  to  know  what  it 
was,  and  why  it  was. 

6  So  Ha'tach  went  forth  to  Mor'de-cai,  unto  the  street  of 
the  city,  which  was  before  the  king's  gate. 

7  And  Mor'de-cai  told  him  of  all  that  had  happened  unto 
him,  and  of ''the  sum  of  the  money  that  Ha'man  had  promised 
to  pay  to  the  king's  treasuries  for  the  Jews,  to  destroy  them. 

8  Also  he  gave  him  "the  copy  of  the  writing  of  the  decree 
that  was  given  at  Shu'shan  to  destroy  them,  to  shew  it  unto 
Es'ther,  and  to  declare  it  unto  her,  and  to  charge  her  that 
she  should  go  in  unto  the  king,  to  make  supplication  unto 
him,  and  to  make  request  before  him  for  her  people. 

9  AndHa'tach  came  and  told  Es'therthewordsof  Mor'de-cai. 

10  ^Again  Es'ther  spake  unto  Ha'tach,  and  gave  him 
commandment  unto  Mor'de-cai ; 

11  All  the  king's  servants,  and  the  people  of  the  king's 
provinces,  do  know,  that  whosoever,  whether  man  or 
woman,  shall  come  unto  the  king  into  the  -^inner  court 
who  is  not  called,  'there  is  one  law  of  his  to  put  him  to 
death,  except  such  *to  whom  the  king  shall  hold  out  the 
golden  sceptre,  that  he  may  live :  but  I  have  not  been 
called  to  come  in  unto  the  king  these  thirty  days. 

12  And  they  told  to  Mor'de-cai  Es'ther's  words. 

13  Then  Mor'de-cai  commanded  to  answer  Es'ther,  Think 
not  with  thyself  that  thou  shalt  escape  in  the  king's  house, 
more  than  all  the  Jews. 

14  For  if  thou  altogether  boldest  thy  peace  at  this  time, 
then  shall  there  fenlargement  and  deliverance  arise  to  the 
Jews  from  another  place;  but  thou  and  thy  father's  house 


11  And  the  king  said  unto  Ha'man,  The  silver  is  given 
to  thee,  the  people  also,  to  do  with  them  as  it  seem- 

12eth  good  to  thee.  Then  were  the  king's  'scribes 
called  in  the  first  month,  on  the  thirteenth  day  thereof, 
and  there  was  written  according  to  all  that  Ha'man 
commanded  unto  the  king's  satraps,  and  to  the  gov- 
ernors that  were  over  every  province,  and  to  the 
princes  of  every  people ;  to  every  province  according 
to  the  writing  thereof,  and  to  every  people  after  their 
language;  in  the  name  ofkingA-has-u-e'ruswasitwrit- 

13  ten,  and  it  was  sealed  with  the  king's  ring.  And  letters 
were  sent  by  posts  into  all  the  king's  provinces,  to  de- 
stroy, to  slay,  and  to  cause  to  perish,  all  Jews,  both 
young  and  old,  little  children  and  women,  in  one  day, 
even  upon  the  thirteenth  day  of  the  twelfth  month, 
which  is  the  month  A'dar,  and  to  take  the  spoil  of 

14  them  for  a  prey.  A  copy  of  the  writing,  Hhat  the  de- 
cree should  be  given  out  in  every  province,  was  pub- 
lished unto  all  the  peoples,  that  they  should  be  ready 

15  against  that  day.  The  posts  went  forth  in  haste  by  the 
king's  commandment,  and  the  decree  was  given  out 
in  Shu'shan  the  palace  :  and  the  king  and  Ha'man  sat 
down  to  drink;  butthecity  of  Shu'shan  was  perplexed. 

^  Now  when  Mor'de-cai  knew  all  that  M-as  done, 
Mor'de-cai  rent  his  clothes,  and  put  on  sackcloth  with 
ashes,  and  went  out  into  the  midst  of  the  city,  and 

2  cried  with  a  loud  and  a  bitter  cry :  and  he  came  even 
before  the  king's  gate :  for  none  might  enter  within 

3  the  king's  gate  clothed  with  sackcloth.  And  in  every 
province,  whithersoever  the  king's  commandment  and 
his  decree  came,  there  was  great  mourning  among  the 
Jews,and  fasting,and  weeping,  and  wailing;  and 'many 

4  lay  in  sackcloth  and  ashes.  And  Es'ther's  maidens 
and  her  chamberlains  came  and  told  it  her ;  and  the 
queen  was  exceedingly  grieved :  and  she  sent  rai- 
ment to  clothe  Mor'de-cai,  and  to  take  his  sackcloth 

5  from  off  him  :  but  he  received  it  not.  Then  called 
Es'ther  for  Ha'thach,  one  of  the  king's  chamberlains, 
whom  he  had  appointed  to  attend  upon  her,  and 
charged  him  to  go  to  Mor'de-cai,  to  know  what  this 

6  was,  and  why  it  was.  So  Ha'thach  went  forth  to 
Mor'de-cai  unto  the  broad  place  of  the  city,  which  was 

7  before  the  king's  gate.  And  Mor'de-cai  told  him  of  all 
that  had  happened  unto  him,  and  the  exact  sum  of  the 
money  that  Ha'man  had  promised  to  pay  to  the  king's 

8  treasuries  for  the  Jews,  to  destroy  them.  Also  he 
gave  him  the  copy  of  the  writing  of  the  decree  that 
was  given  out  in  Shu'shan  to  destroy  them,  to  shew  it 
unto  Es'ther,  and  to  declare  it  unto  her ;  and  to  charge 
her  that  she  should  go  in  unto  the  king,  to  make  sup- 
plication unto  him,  and  to  make  request  before  him, 

9  for  her  people.   And  Ha'thach  came  and  told  Es'ther 

10  the  words  of  Mor'de-cai.  Then  Es'ther  spake  unto 
Ha'thach,  and  gave  him  a  message  unto  Mor'de-cai, 

11  saying :  All  the  king's  servants,  and  the  people  of  the 
king's  provinces,  do  know,  that  whosoever,  whether 
man  or  woman,  shall  come  unto  the  king  into  the  in- 
ner court,  who  is  not  called,  there  is  one  law  for  him, 
that  he  be  put  to  death,  except  such  to  whom  the 
king  shall  hold  out  the  golden  sceptre,  that  he  may 
live :  but  I  have  not  been  called  to  come  in  unto  the 

12  king  these  thirty  days.  And  they  told  to  Mor'de-cai 

13  Es'ther's  words.  Then  Mor'de-cai  bade  them  return 
answer  unto  Es'ther,  Think  not  with  thyself  that  thou 
shalt  escape  in  the  king's  house,  more  than  all  the 

14  Jews.  For  if  thou  altogether  boldest  thy  peace  at  this 
time,  then  shall  relief  and  deliverance  arise  to  the  Jews 
from  another  place,  but  thou  and  thy  father's  house

16  ^Then  Es'ther  bade  them  return  Mor'de-cai  this  ansioer, 

16  Go,  gather  together  all  the  Jews  that  are  fpresent  in 
Shu'shan,  and  fast  ye  for  me,  and  neither  eat  nor  drink 
'three  days,  night  or  day :  I  also  and  my  maidens  will  fast 
likewise;  and  so  will  I  go  in  unto  the  king,  which  is  not 
according  to  the  law :  *and  if  I  perish,  I  perish. 

17  So  Mor'de-cai  fwent  his  way,  and  did  according  to  all 
that  Es'ther  had  commanded  him. 

CHAPTER    V. 

Esther  obtaineth  the  grace  of  the  golden  sceptre. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  "on  the  third  day ,  that  Es'ther  put  on  her 
royal  apparel,a,nd  stoodin'the  inner  court  of  the  king's  house, 
over  against  the  king's  house :  and  the  king  sat  upon  his  royal 
throne  in  the  royal  house,  over  against  the  gate  of  the  house. 

2  And  it  wasso,when  the  kingsaw  Es'ther  the  queen  standing 
in  the  court,  that  "she  obtained  favour  in  his  sight :  and  "'the 
king  held  out  to  Es'ther  the  golden  sceptre  that  was  in  h  is  hand. 
So  Es'ther  drew  near,  and  touched  the  top  of  the  sceptre. 

3  Then  said  the  king  unto  her,  What  wilt  thou,  queen 
Es'ther?  and  what  is  thy  request?  *it  shall  be  even  given 
thee  to  the  half  of  the  kingdom. 

4  And  Es'ther  answered.  If  it  seem  good  unto  the  king, 
let  the  king  and  Ha'man  come  this  day  unto  the  banquet 
that  I  have  prepared  for  him. 

5  Then  the  king  said,  Cause  Ha'man  to  make  haste,  that 
he  may  do  as  Es'ther  hath  said.  So  the  king  and  Ha'man 
came  to  the  banquet  that  Es'ther  had  prepared. 

6  '^^And  the  king  said  unto  Es'ther  at  the  banquet  of 
wine,  "What  is  thy  petition  ?  and  it  shall  be  granted  thee : 
and  what  is  thy  request?  even  to  the  half  of  the  kingdom 
it  shall  be  performed. 

7  Then  answered  Es'ther,  and  said.  My  petition  and  my 
request  is; 

8  If Ihavefound favour inthesightof the king,andifitplease 
the  king  to  grant  my  petition,  and  fto  perform  my  request,  let 
the  king  and  Ha'man  come  to  the  banquet  that  I  shall  pre- 
pare for  them,  and  I  will  do  to-morrow  as  the  king  hath  said. 

9  "^Then  went  Ha'man  forth  that  day  joyful  and  with  a 
glad  heart :  but  when  Ha'man  saw  Mor'de-cai  in  the  king's 
gate,  Hhat  he  stood  not  up,  nor  moved  for  him,  he  was  full 
of  indignation  against  Mor'de-cai. 

10  Nevertheless  Ha'man 'refrained  himself:  and  when  he  came 
home,  he  sent  and  fcalled  for  his  friends,  and  Ze'resh  his  wife. 

11  And  Ha'man  told  them  of  the  glory  of  his  riches,  and 
*the  multitude  of  his  children,  and  all  the  things  wherein 
the  king  had  promoted  him,  and  how  he  had  'advanced 
him  above  the  princes  and  servants  of  the  king. 

12  Ha'man  said  moreover.  Yea,  Es'ther  the  queen  did  let 
no  man  come  in  with  the  king  unto  the  banquet  that  she 
had  prepared  but  myself;  and  to-morrow  am  I  invited  unto 
her  also  with  the  king. 

13  Yet  all  this  availeth  me  nothing,  so  long  as  I  see  Mor'- 
de-cai the  Jew  sitting  at  the  king's  gate. 

14  l[Then  said  Ze'resh  his  wife  and  all  his  friends  unto  him, 
Let  a  t'"gallow8  be  made  of  fifty  cubits  high,  and  to-morrow 
"speak  thou  unto  the  king  that  Mor'de-cai  may  be  hanged 
thereon :  then  go  thou  in  merrily  with  the  king  unto  the 
banquet.  And  the  thing  pleased  Ha'man ;  and  he  caused 
"the  gallows  to  be  made. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

Ahasuents  rewardeth  Mordecai. 

ON  that  night  fcould  not  the  king  sleep,  and  he  com- 
manded to  bring  "the  book  of  records  oi  the  chronicles; 
and  they  were  read  before  the  king. 

2  And  itwa8foundwritten,thatMor'de-caihadtoldof  IIBig'-

shall  perish :  and  who  knoweth  whether  thou  art  not 
15 come  to  the  kingdom  for  such  a  time  as  this?    Then 
16  Es'ther  bade  them  return  answer  unto  Mor'de-cai,  Go, 
gather  together  all  the  Jews  that  are  present  in  Shu'- 
shan, and  fast  ye  for  me,  and  neither  eat  nor  drink 
three  days,  night  or  day :  I  also  and  my  maidens  will 
fast  in  like  manner;    and   so  will  I  go  in  unto  the 
king,  which  is  not  according  to  the  law :  and  if  I  per- 
17ish,  I  perish.     So  Mor'de-cai  went  his  way,  and  did 
according  to  all  that  Es'ther  had  commanded  him. 

O  Now  it  came  to  pass  on  the  third  day,  that  Es'ther 
put  on  her  royal  apparel,  and  stood  in  the  inner  court 
of  the  king's  house,  over  against  the  king's  house: 
and  the  king  sat  upon  his  royal  throne  in  the  royal 

2  house,  over  against  the  entrance  of  the  house.  And 
it  was  so,  when  the  kingsaw  Es'ther  the  queen  stand- 
ing in  the  court,  that  she  obtained  favour  in  his  sight : 
and  the  king  held  out  to  Es'ther  the  golden  sceptre 
that  was  in  his  hand.     So  Es'ther  drew  near,  and 

3  touched  the  top  of  the  sceptre.  Then  said  the  king 
unto  her.  What  wilt  thou,  queen  Es'ther?  and  what 
is  thy  request?   it  shall  be  given  thee  even  to  the 

4half  of  the  kingdom.  And  Es'ther  said,  If  it  seem 
good  unto  the  king,  let  the  king  and  Ha'man  come 
this  day  unto  the  banquet  that  I  have  prepared  for 

5  him.  Then  the  king  said.  Cause  Ha'man  to  make 
haste,  that  it  may  be  done  as  Es'ther  hath  said.  So 
the  king    and    Ha'man    came   to   the  banquet  that 

6  Es'ther  had  prepared.  And  the  king  said  unto 
Es'ther  at  the  banquet  of  wine.  What  is  thy  petition  ? 
and  it  shall  be  granted  thee :  and  what  is  thy  re- 
quest? even  to  the  half  of  the  kingdom  it  shall  be 

7  performed.     Then  answered  Es'ther,  and  said.  My 
8 petition  and  my  request  is;  if  I  have  found  favour 

in  the  sight  of  the  king,  and  if  it  please  the  king  to 
grant  my  petition,  and  to  perform  my  request,  let 
the  king  and  Ha'man  come  to  the  banquet  that  I 
shall  prepare  for  them,  and  I  will  do  to-morrow  as 
9  the  king  hath  said.  Then  went  Ha'man  forth  that 
day  joyful  and  glad  of  heart :  but  when  Ha'man  saw 
Mor'de-cai  in  the  king's  gate,  that  he  stood  not  up 
nor  'moved  for  him,  he  was  filled  with  wrath  against 

10  Mor'de-cai.  Nevertheless  Ha'man,  refrained  himself, 
and  went  home ;  and  he  sent  and  fetched  his  friends 

11  and  Ze'resh  his  wife.  And  Ha'man  recounted  unto 
them  the  glory  of  his  riches,  and  the  multitude  of 
his  children,  and  all  the  things  wherein  the  king  had 
promoted  him,  and  how  he  had  advanced  him  above 

12  the  princes  and  servants  of  the  king.  Ha'man  said 
moreover.  Yea,  Es'ther  the  queen  did  let  no  man 
come  in  with  the  king  unto  the  banquet  that  she 
had  prepared  but  myself;  and  to-morrow  also  am  I 

13  invited  by  her  together  with  the  king.  Yet  all  this 
availeth  me  nothing,  so  long  as  I  see  Mor'de-cai  the 

14  Jew  sitting  at  the  king's  gate.  Then  said  Ze'resh 
his  wife  and  all  his  friends  unto  him.  Let  a  'gallows 
be  made  of  fifty  cubits  high,  and  in  the  morning 
speak  thou  unto  the  king  that  Mor'de-cai  may  be 
hanged  thereon:  then  go  thou  in  merrily  with  the 
king  unto  the  banquet.  And  the  thing  pleased 
Ha'man ;  and  he  caused  the  gallows  to  be  made. 

On  that  night  ^could  not  the  king  sleep;  and 
he  commanded  to  bring  the  book  of  records  of 
the  chronicles,  and  they  were  read  before  the 
2  king.  And  it  was  found  written,  that  Mor'de-cai 
had  told  of  Big'tha-na  and  Te'resh,  two  of  the  king's 
chamberlains,  of  those  that  kept  the  Moor,  who 
had  sought  to  lay  hands  on  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus.

3  And  the  king  said,  What  honour  and  dignity  hath  been 
done  to  Mor'de-cai  for  this  ?  Then  said  the  king's  servants 
that  ministered  unto  him,  There  is  nothing  done  for  him. 

4  ^And  the  king  said,  Who  is  in  the  court?  Now  Ha'- 
man  was  come  ''into  the  outward  court  of  the  king's  house, 
"to  speak  unto  the  king  to  hang  Mor'de-cai  on  the  gallows 
that  he  had  prepared  for  him. 

5  And  the  king's  servants  said  unto  him.  Behold,  Ha'man 
standeth  in  the  court.     And  the  king  said,  Let  him  come  in. 

6  So  Ha'man  came  in.  And  the  king  said  unto  him. 
What  shall  be  done  unto  the  man  fwhom  the  king  delighteth 
to  honour?  Now  Ha'man  thought  in  his  heart.  To  whom 
would  the  king  delight  to  do  honour  more  than  to  myself? 

7  And  Ha'man  answered  the  king.  For  the  man  fwhom 
the  king  delighteth  to  honour, 

8  fLet  the  royal  apparel  be  brought  fwhich  the  king 
useth  to  wear,  and  ''the  horse  that  the  king  rideth  upon,  and 
the  crown  royal  which  is  set  upon  his  head : 

9  And  let  this  apparel  and  horse  be  delivered  to  the  hand 
of  one  of  the  king's  most  noble  princes,  that  they  may  array 
the  man  withal  whom  the  king  delighteth  to  honour,  and 
fbring  him  on  horseback  through  the  street  of  the  city, 
*and  proclaim  before  him.  Thus  shall  it  be  done  to  the  man 
whom  the  king  delighteth  to  honour. 

10  Then  the  king  said  to  Ha'man,  Make  haste,  and  take 
the  apparel  and  the  horse,  as  thou  hast  said,  and  do  even 
so  to  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew,  that  sitteth  at  the  king's  gate : 
flet  nothing  fail  of  all  that  thou  hast  spoken. 

11  Then  took  Ha'man  the  apparel  and  the  horse,  and  ar- 
rayed Mor'de-cai,  and  brought  him  ou  horseback  through 
the  street  of  the  city,  and  proclaimed  before  him.  Thus 
shall  it  be  done  unto  the  man  whom  the  king  delighteth 
to  honour. 

12  ^And  Mor'de-cai  came  again  to  the  king's  gate.  But 
Ha'man  -'hasted  to  his  house  mourning,  "and  having  his 
head  covered. 

13  And  Ha'man  told  Ze'resh  his  wife  and  all  his  friends 
every  thing  that  had  befallen  him.  Then  said  his  wise  men 
and  Ze'resh  his  wife  unto  him,  If  Mor'de-cai  be  of  the  seed  of 
the  Jews,  before  whom  thou  ha.st  begun  to  fall,  thou  shalt 
not  prevail  against  him,  but  shalt  surely  fall  before  him. 

14  And  while  they  were  yet  talking  with  him,  came  the 
king's  chamberlains,  and  hasted  to  bring  Ha'man  unto  Hhe 
banquet  that  Es'ther  had  prepared. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

Esther  maketh  suit/or  her  own  life  and  her  people's. 

SO  the  king  and  Ha'man  came  fto  banquet  with  Es'ther 
the  queen. 

2  And  the  king  said  again  unto  Es'ther  on  the  second  day 
"at  the  banquet  of  wine.  What  is  thy  petition,  queen  Es'ther? 
and  it  shall  be  granted  thee:  and  what  is  thy  request?  and 
it  shall  be  performed,  even  to  the  half  of  the  kingdom. 

3  Then  Es'ther  the  queen  answered  and  said.  If  I  have  found 
favour  in  thy  sight,  O  king,  and  if  it  please  the  king,  let  my 
life  be  given  me  at  my  petition,  and  my  people  at  my  request: 

4  For  we  are  'sold,  I  and  my  people,  fto  be  destroyed, 
to  be  slain,  and  to  perish.  But  if  we  had  been  sold  for 
bondmen  and  bondwomen,  I  had  held  my  tongue,  although 
the  enemy  could  not  countervail  the  king's  damage. 

5  ^Then  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  answered  and  said  unto 
Es'ther  the  queen.  Who  is  he,  and  where  is  he,  fthat  durst 
presume  in  his  heart  to  do  so  ? 

6  And  Es'ther  saidjfThe  adversary  and  enemy  is  this  wicked 
Ha'man.  Then  Ha'man  was  afraid  |  |before  the  king  and  the  queen. 

7  ^And  the  king  arising  from  the  banquet  of  wine  in  his 
wrath  vient  into  the  palace  garden:  and  Ha'man  stood  up 
to  make  request  for  his  life  to  E.s'ther  the  queen ;  for  he 
saw  that  there  was  evil  determined  against  him  by  the  king. 

8  Then  the  king  returned  out  of  the  palace  garden  into 


3  And  the  king  said,  What  honour  and  dignity  hath 
been  done  to  Mor'de-cai  for  this?  Then  said  the  king's 
servants  that  ministered  unto  him.  There  is  nothing 

4  done  for  him.  And  the  king  said,  Who  is  in  the  court? 
Now  Ha'man  was  come  into  the  outward  court  of  the 
king's  house,  to  speak  unto  the  king  to  hang  Mor'de- 

5  cai  on  the  gallows  that  he  had  prepared  for  him.  And 
the  king's  servants  said  unto  him.  Behold,  Ha'man 
standeth  in  the  court.     And  the  king  said.  Let  him 

6  come  in.  So  Ha'man  came  in.  And  the  king  said 
unto  him.  What  shall  be  done  unto  the  man  whom 
the  king  delighteth  to  honour?  Now  Ha'man  said 
in  his  heart,  To  whom  would  the  king  delight  to  do 

7  honour  more  than  to  myself?  And  Ha'man  said  unto 
the  king.  For  the  man  whom  the  king  delighteth  to 

8  honour,  let  royal  apparel  be  brought  which  the  king 
useth  to  wear,  and  the  horse  that  the  king  rideth 
upon,  'and  on  the  head  of  which  a  crown  royal  is  set : 

9  and  let  the  apparel  and  the  horse  be  delivered  to  the 
hand  of  one  of  the  king's  most  noble  princes,  that  they 
may  array  the  man  withal  whom  the  king  delighteth 
to  honour,  and  cause  him  to  ride  on  horseback 
through  the  street  of  the  city,  and  proclaim  before 
him.  Thus  shall  it  be  done  to  the  man  whom  the  king 

10  delighteth  to  honour.     Then  the  king  said  to  Ha'man 
Make  haste,  and  take  the  apparel  and  the  horse,  as 
thou  hast  said,  and  do  even  so  to  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew, 
that  sitteth  at  the  king's  gate  :  let  nothing  fail  of  all 

11  that  thou  hast  spoken.  Then  took  Ha'man  the  ap- 
parel and  the  horse,  and  arrayed  Mor'de-cai,  and 
caused  him  to  ride  through  the  street  of  the  city,  and 
proclaimed  before  him.  Thus  shall  it  be  done  unto  the 

12  man  whom  the  king  delighteth  to  honour.  And 
Mor'de-cai  came  again  to  the  king's  gate.  But  Ha'man 
hasted  to  his  house,  mourning  and  having  his  head 

13  covered.  And  Ha'man  recounted  unto  Ze'resh  his 
wife  and  all  his  friends  every  thing  that  had  befallen 
him.  Then  said  his  wise  men  and  Ze'resh  his  ■wife 
unto  him.  If  Mor'de-cai,  before  whom  thou  hast  be- 
gun to  fall,  be  of  the  seed  of  the  Jews,  thou  shalt 
not  prevail  against  him,  but  shalt  surely  fall  before 

14  him.  While  they  were  yet  talking  with  him  came 
the  king's  chamberlains,  and  hasted  to  bring  Ha'man 
unto  the  banquet  that  Es'ther  had  prepared. 

♦       So  the  king  and  Ha'man  came  ^to  banquet  with 

2  Es'ther  the  queen.  And  the  king  said  again  unto 
Es'ther  on  the  second  day  at  the  banquet  of  wine. 
What  is  thy  petition,  queen  Es'ther?  and  it  shall  be 
granted  thee :  and  what  is  thy  request  ?  even  to  the  half 

3  of  the  kingdom  it  shall  be  performed.  Then  Es'ther 
the  queen  answered  and  said.  If  I  have  found  favour 
in  thy  sight,  O  king,  and  if  it  please  the  king,  let  my 
life  be  given  me  at  my  petition,  and  my  people  at  my 

4  request :  for  we  are  sold,  I  and  my  people,  to  be  de- 
stroyed, to  be  slain,  and  to  perish.  But  if  Ave  had  been 
sold  for  bondmen  and  bondwomen,  I  bad  held  my 
peace,  'although  the  adversary  could  not  have  com- 

5  pensated  for  the  king's  damage.  Then  spake  the  king 
A-has-u-e'rus  and  said  unto  Es'ther  the  queen,  Who  is 
he,  and  where  is  he,  that  durst  presume  in  his  heart  to 

6  do  so  ?  And  Es'ther  said.  An  adversary  and  an  enemy, 
even  this  wicked  Ha'man.     Then  Ha'man  was  afraid 

7  before  the  king  and  the  queen.  And  the  king  arose 
in  his  wrath  from  the  banquet  of  wine  and  went  into 
the  palace  garden :  and  Ha'man  stood  up  to  make  re- 
quest for  his  life  to  Es'ther  the  queen ;  for  he  saw  that 
there  was  evil  determined  against  him  by  the  king. 

8  Then  the  king  returned  out  of  the  palace  garden  into

''the  bed  whereon  Es'ther  was.  Then  said  the  king,  Will  he 
force  the  queen  also  fbefore  me  in  the  house?  As  the  word 
went  out  of  the  king's  mouth,  they  ''covered  Ha'man's  face. 

9  And  'Har-bo'nah,  one  of  the  chamberlains,  said  before 
the  king,  Behold  also  ■'^the  fgallows  fifty  cubits  high,  which 
Ha'man  had  made  for  Mor'de-cai,  who  had  spoken  good  for 
the  king,  standeth  in  the  house  of  Ha'man.  Then  the  king 
said.  Hang  him  thereon. 

10  So  "they  hanged  Ha'man  on  the  gallows  that  he 
had  prepared  for  Mor'de-cai.  Then  was  the  king's  wrath 
pacified. 

CHAPTER   VIII. 

Esther  maketh  suit  to  reverse  Haman's  Utters. 

ON  that  day  did  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  give  the  house  of 
Ha'man,  the  Jews'  enemy,  unto  Es'ther  the  queen.  And 
Mor'de-cai  came  before  the  king ;  for  Es'ther  had  told  "what 
he  wa^  unto  her. 

2  And  the  king  took  ofiF  'his  ring  which  he  had  taken 
from  Ha'man,  and  gave  it  unto  Mor'de-cai.  And  Es'ther 
set  Mor'de-cai  over  the  house  of  Ha'man. 

3  ^And  Es'ther  spake  yet  again  before  the  king,  and  fell 
down  at  his  feet,  fand  besought  him  with  tears  to  put  away 
the  mischief  of  Ha'man  the  A'gag-ite,  and  his  device  that  he 
had  devised  against  the  Jews. 

4  Then  "the  king  held  out  the  golden  sceptre  toward  Es'- 
ther,    So  Es'ther  arose,  and  stood  before  the  king, 

5  And  said.  If  it  please  the  king,  and  if  I  have  found  favour 
in  his  sight,  and  the  thing  seem  right  before  the  king,  and  I 
he  pleasing  in  his  eyes,  let  it  be  written  to  reverse  fthe  let- 
ters, devised  by  Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha  the  A'gag- 
ite,  II  which  he  wrote  to  destroy  the  Jews  which  are  in  all 
the  king's  provinces : 

6  For  how  can  I  fendure  to  see  ''the  evil  that  shall  come 
unto  my  people?  or  how  can  I  endure  to  see  the  destruc- 
tion of  my  kindred? 

7  ^Then  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  said  unto  Es'ther  the  queen 
and  to  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew,  Behold,  "I  have  given  Es'ther  the 
house  of  Ha'man,  and  him  they  have  hanged  upon  the  gal- 
lows, because  he  laid  his  hand  upon  the  Jews. 

8  Write  ye  also  for  the  Jews,  as  it  liketh  you,  in  the  king's 
name,  and  seal  it  with  the  king's  ring:  for  the  writing  which 
is  written  in  the  king's  name  and  sealed  with  the  king's 
ring,  -'^may  no  man  reverse. 

9  "Then  were  the  king's  scribes  called  at  that  time  in  the 
third  month,  that  is,  the  month  Si'van,  on  the  three  and 
twentieth  day  thereof;  and  it  was  written  according  to  all 
that  Mor'de-cai  commanded,  unto  the  Jews,  and  to  the  lieu- 
tenants, and  the  deputies  and  rulers  of  the  provinces  which 
are  *from  In'di-a  unto  E-thi-o'pi-a,  a  hundred  twenty  and 
seven  provinces,  unto  every  province  'according  to  the  writ- 
ing thereof,  and  unto  every  people  after  their  language, 
and  to  the  Jews  according  to  their  writing,  and  according 
to  their  language. 

10  *And  he  wrote  inthe  king  A-ha.s-u-e'rus's  name,  and  sealed 
it  with  the  king's  ring,  and  sent  letters  by  posts  on  horse- 
back, and  riders  on  mules,  camels,  and  young  dromedaries: 

11  Wherein  the  king  granted  the  Jews  which  were  in  every 
city  to  gather  themselves  together,  and  to  stand  for  their  life, 
to  destroy,  to  slay,  and  to  cause  to  perish,  all  the  power  of 
the  people  and  province  that  would  assault  them,  both  little 
ones  and  women,  and  Ho  take  the  spoil  of  them  for  a  prey, 

12  "Upon  one  day  in  all  the  provinces  of  king  A-has-u-e'rus, 
namely,  upon  the  thirteenth  day  of  the  twelfth  month,  which 
is  the  month  A'dar. 

13  "The  copy  of  the  writing  for  a  commandment  to  be 
given  in  every  province  was  fpublished  unto  all  people, 
and  that  the  Jews  should  be  ready  against  that  day  ♦©  avenge 
themselves  on  their  enemies. 


the  place  of  the  banquet  of  wine ;  and  Ha'man  was 
fallen  upon  the  couch  whereon  Es'ther  was.  Then 
said  the  king.  Will  he  even  force  the  queen  before 
me  in  the  house?  As  the  word  went  out  of  the 
9  king's  mouth,  they  covered  Ha'man's  face.  Then  said 
Har-bo'nah,  one  of  the  chamberlains  that  were  before 
the  king.  Behold  also,  the  'gallows  fifty  cubits  high, 
which  Ha'man  hath  made  for  Mor'de-cai,  who  spake 
good  for  the  king,  standeth  in  the  house  of  Ha'man. 
10  And  the  king  said,  Hang  him  thereon.  So  they 
hanged  Ha'man  on  the  gallows  that  he  had  prepared 
for  Mor'de-cai.     Then  was  the  king's  wrath  pacified. 

O  On  that  day  did  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  give  the  house 
of  Ha'man  the  Jews'  enemy  unto  Es'ther  the  queen. 
And  Mor'de-cai  came  before  the  king ;  for  Es'ther  had 

2  told  what  he  was  unto  her.  And  the  king  took  off  his 
ring,  which  he  had  taken  from  Ha'man,  and  gave  it 
unto  Mor'de-cai.  And  Es'ther  set  Mor'de-cai  over  the 

3  house  of  Ha'man.  And  Es'ther  spake  yet  again  before 
the  king,  and  fell  down  at  his  feet,  and  besought  him 
with  tears  to  put  away  the  mischief  of  Ha'man  the 
A'gag-ite,  aud  his  device  that  he  had  devised  against 

4  the  Jews.  Then  the  king  held  out  to  Es'ther  the 
golden  sceptre.     So  Es'ther  arose,  and  stood  before 

5  the  king.  And  she  said.  If  it  please  the  king,  and 
if  I  have  found  favour  in  his  sight,  and  the  thing 
seem  right  before  the  king,  and  I  be  pleasing  in  his 
eyes,  let  it  be  written  to  reverse  the  letters  devised  by 
Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha  the  A'gag-ite,which 
he  wrote  to  destroy  the  Jews  which  are  in  all  the 

6  king's  provinces :  for  how  can  I  endure  to  see  the 
evil  that  shall  come  unto  my  people?  or  how  can  I 

7  endure  to  see  the  destruction  of  my  kindred?  Then 
the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  said  unto  Es'ther  the  queen  and 
to  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew,  Behold,  I  have  given  Es'ther 
the  house  of  Ha'man,  and  him  they  have  hanged 
upon   the   gallows,  because   he   laid   his  hand  upon 

8  the  Jews.  Write  ye  also  ^to  the  Jews,  as  it  liketh 
you,  in  the  king's  name,  and  seal  it  with  the  king's 
ring :  for  the  writing  which  is  written  in  the  king's 
name,  and  sealed  with  the  king's  ring,  may  no  man 

9  reverse.  Then  were  the  king's  scribes  called  at  that 
time,  in  the  third  month,  which  is  the  month  Si'van, 
on  the  three  and  twentieth  day  thereof;  and  it  was 
written  according  to  all  that  Mor'de-cai  commanded 
unto  the  Jews,  and  to  the  satraps,  and  the  governors 
and  princes  of  the  provinces  which  are  from  In'di-a 
unto  E-thi-o'pi-a,  an  hundred  twenty  and  seven  prov 
inces,  unto  every  province  according  to  the  writ- 
ing thereof,  and  unto  every  people  after  their  Ian 
guage,  and  to  the  Jews  according  to  their  writing, 

10  and  according  to  their  language.  And  he  wrote  in 
the  name  of  king  A-has-u-e'rus,  and  sealed  it  with  the 
king's  ring,  and  sent  letters  by  posts  on  horseback, 
riding  on  'swift  steeds  that  were  used  in  the  king's 

11  service,  bred  of  the  stud:  wherein  the  king  granted 
the  Jews  which  were  in  every  city  to  gather  them

14  So  the  posts  that  rode  upon  mules  and  camels  went 
out,  being  hastened  and  pressed  on  by  the  king's  com- 
mandment. And  the  decree  was  given  at  Shu'shan  the 
palace. 

15  ^And  Mor'de-cai  went  out  from  the  presence  of  the 
king  in  royal  apparel  of  ||  blue  and  white,  and  with  a  great 
crown  of  gold,  and  with  a  garment  of  fine  linen  and  purple  : 
and  "the  city  of  Shu'shan  rejoiced  and  was  glad. 

16  The  Jews  had  "light  and  gladness,  and  joy,  and  honour. 

17  And  in  every  province,  and  in  every  city,  whitherso- 
ever the  king's  commandment  and  his  decree  came,  the 
Jews  had  joy  and  gladness,  a  feast  'and  a  good  day.  And 
many  of  the  people  of  the  land  ''became  Jews ;  for  'the  fear 
of  the  Jews  fell  upon  them. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

The  Jews  slay  their  enemies,  and  the  sons  of  Haman. 

"RTTOW  "in  the  twelfth  month,  that  is,  the  month  A'dar, 
i-i  on  the  thirteenth  day  of  the  same,  ''when  the  king's  com- 
mandment and  his  decree  drew  near  to  be  put  in  execution, 
in  the  day  that  the  enemies  of  the  Jews  hoped  to  have  power 
over  them ;  (though  it  was  turned  to  the  contrary,  that  the 
Jews  "^had  rule  over  them  that  hated  them,) 

2  The  Jews  ''gathered  themselves  together  in  their  cities 
throughout  all  the  provinces  of  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus,  to  'lay 
hand  on  such  as  sought  their  hurt :  and  no  man  could  with- 
stand them ;  for  -^the  fear  of  them  fell  upon  all  people. 

3  And  all  the  rulers  of  the  provinces,  and  the  lieutenants, 
and  the  deputies,  and  fofficers  of  the  king  helped  the  Jews ; 
because  the  fear  of  Mor'de-cai  fell  upon  them. 

4  For  Mor'de-cai  was  great  in  the  king's  house,  and  his 
fame  went  out  throughout  all  the  provinces :  for  this  man 
Mor'de-cai  "waxed  greater  and  greater. 

5  Thus  the  Jews  smote  all  their  enemies  with  the  stroke 
of  the  sword,  and  slaughter,  and  destruction,  and  did  fwhat 
they  would  unto  those  that  hated  them. 

6  And  in  Shu'shan  the  palace  the  Jews  slew  and  destroyed 
five  hundred  men. 

7  And  Par-shan'da-tha,  and  Dal'phon,  and  As'pa-tha, 

8  And  Por'a-tha,  and  Ad-a-li'a,  and  A-rid'a-tha, 

9  And  Par-mash'ta,  and  A-ris'a-i,  and  A-rid'a-i,  and  Va- 
jez'a-tha, 

10  *The  ten  sons  of  Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha, 
the  enemy  of  the  Jews,  slew  they;  'but  on  the  spoil  laid 
they  not  their  hand. 

11  On  that  day  the  number  of  those  that  were  slain  in 
Shu'shan  the  palace  fwas  brought  before  the  king. 

12  ^And  the  king  said  unto  Es'ther  the  queen.  The  Jews 
have  slain  and  destroyed  five  hundred  men  in  Shu'shan  the 
palace,  and  the  ten  sons  of  Ha'man ;  what  have  they  done 
in  the  rest  of  the  king's  provinces  ?  now  *what  is  thy  peti- 
tion? and  it  shall  be  granted  thee:  or  what  is  thy  request 
further?  and  it  shall  be  done.  * 

13  Then  said  Es'ther,  If  it  please  the  king,  let  it  be 
granted  to  the  Jews  which  are  in  Shu'shan  to  do  to-morrow 
also  'according  unto  this  day's  decree,  and  flet  Ha'man's 
ten  sons  ""be  hanged  upon  the  gallows. 

14  And  the  king  commanded  it  so  to  be  done:  and  the 
decree  was  given  at  Shu'shan;  and  they  hanged  Ha'man's 
ten  sons. 

15  For  the  Jews  that  were  in  Shu'shan  "gathered  them- 
selves together  on  the  fourteenth  day  also  of  the  month 
A'dar,  and  slew  three  hundred  men  at  Shu'shan;  "but  on 
the  prey  they  laid  not  their  hand. 

16  But  the  other  Jews  that  were  in  the  king's  provinces 
"gathered  themselves  together,  and  stood  for  their  lives,  and 
had  rest  from  their  enemies,  and  slew  of  their  foes  seventy 
and  five  thousand,  'but  they  laid  not  their  hands  on  the  prey, 

17  On  the  thirteenth  day  of  the  month  A'dar;  and  on  the 


14  So  the  posts  that  rode  upon  swift  .steeds  that  were 
used  in  the  king's  service  went  out,  being  hastened 
and  pressed  on  by  the  king's  commandment;  and 
the  decree  was  given  out  in  Shu'shan  the  palace. 

15  And  Mor'de-cai  went  forth  from  the  presence  of  the 
king  in  royal  apparel  of  blue  and  white,  and  with  a 
great  cro^Yn  of  gold,  and  with  a  robe  of  fine  linen 
and  purple:  and  the  city  of  Shu'shan  .shouted  and 

16  was  glad.     The  Jews  had  light  and  gladness,  and 
17 joy  and  honour.     And  in  every   province,  and  in 

every  city,  whithersoever  the  king's  commandment 
and  his  decree  came,  the  Jews  had  gladness  and  joy, 
a  feast  and  a  good  day.  And  many  from  among 
the  peoples  of  the  land  became  Jews ;  for  the  fear  of 
the  Jews  was  fallen  upon  them. 

V  Now  in  the  twelfth  month,  which  is  the  month 
A'dar :  on  the  thirteenth  day  of  the  same,  when  the 
king's  commandment  and  his  decree  drew  near  to  be 
put  in  execution,  in  the  day  that  the  enemies  of  the 
Jews  hoped  to  have  rule  over  them ;  whereas  it  was 
turned  to  the  contrary,  that  the  Jews  had  rule  over 

2  them  that  hated  them;  the  Jews  gathered  themselves 
together  in  their  cities  throughout  all  the  provinces  of 
the  king  A-has-u-e'rus,  to  lay  hand  on  such  as  sought 
their  hurt:  and  no  man  could  withstand  them ;  for  the 

3  fear  of  them  was  fallen  upon  all  the  peoples.  And  all 
the  princes  of  the  provinces,  and  the  satraps,  and  the 
governors,  and  they  that  did  the  king's  business, 
helped  the  Jews;  because  the  fear  of  Mor'de-cai  was 

4  fallen  upon  them.  For  Mor'de-cai  was  great  in  the 
king's  house,  and  his  fame  went  forth  throughout  all 
the  provinces :  for  the  man  Mor'de-cai  waxed  greater 

5  and  greater.  And  the  Jews  smote  all  their  enemies 
with  the  stroke  of  the  sword,  and  with  slaughter 
and  destruction,  and  did  what  they  would  unto  them 

6  that  hated  them.  And  in  Shu'shan  the  palace  the  Jews 

7  slew  and  destroyed  five  hundred  men.  And  Par-shan'- 

8  da-tha,  and  Dal'phon,  and  As'pa-tha,  and  Por'a-tha, 

9  and  Ad-a-li'a,  and  A-rid'a-tha,  and  Par-mash'ta,  and 

10  A-ris'a-i,  and  A-rid'a-i,  and  Va-iz'a-tha,  the  ten  sons  of 
Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha,  the  Jews'  ememy, 
slew  they;  but  on  the  spoil  they  laid  not  their  hand. 

11  On  that  day  the  number  of  those  that  were  slain  in 

12  Shu'shan  the  palace  was  brought  before  the  king.  And 
the  king  said  unto  Es'ther  the  queen.  The  Jews  have 
slain  and  destroyed  five  hundred  men  in  Shu'shan 
the  palace,  and  the  ten  sons  of  Ha'man ;  what  then 
have  they  done  in  the  rest  of  the  king's  provinces ! 
Now  what  is  thy  petition?  and  it  shall  be  granted 
thee:    or  what  is  thy  request  further?  and  it  shall 

13  be  done.  Then  said  Es'ther,  If  it  please  the  king, 
let  it  be  granted  to  the  Jews  which  are  in  Shu'shan 
to  do  to-morrow  also  according  unto  this  day's 
decree,  and  let  Ha'man's  ten  sons  be  hanged  upon 

14  the  gallows.  And  the  king  commanded  it  so  to  be 
done :  and  a  decree  was  given  out  in  Shu'shan ;  and 

15  they  hanged  Ha'man's  ten  sons.  And  the  Jews  that 
were  in  Shu'shan  gathered  themselves  together  on 
the  fourteenth  day  also  of  the  month  A'dar,  and 
slew  three   hundred   men  in  Shu'shan ;   but  on  the 

16  spoil  they  laid  not  their  hand.  And  the  other  Jews 
that  were  in  the  king's  provinces  gathered  them- 
selves together,  and  stood  for  their  lives,  and  had 
rest  from  their  enemies,  and  slew  of  them  that

fourteenth  day  fof  the  same  rested  they,  and  made  it  a  day 
of  feasting  and  gladness. 

18  But  the  Jews  that  were  at  Shu'shan  assembled  together 
'on  the  thirteenth  day  thereof,  and  on  the  fourteenth  thereof; 
and  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  same  they  rested,  and  made 
it  a  day  of  feasting  and  gladness. 

19  Therefore  the  Jews  of  the  villages,  that  dwelt  in  the 
unwalled  towns,  made  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  month 
A'dar  'a.  day  of  gladness  and  feasting,  'and  a  good  day,  and 
of  "sending  portions  one  to  another. 

20  if  And  Mor'de-cai  wrote  these  things,  and  sent  letters 
unto  all  the  Jews  that  were  in  all  the  provinces  of  the  king 
A-has-u-e'rus,  both  nigh  and  far, 

21  To  establish  this  among  them,  that  they  should  keep 
the  fourteenth  day  of  the  month  A'dar,  and  the  fifteenth  day 
of  the  same,  yearly, 

22  As  the  days  wherein  the  Jews  rested  from  their  enemies, 
and  the  month  which  was  "turned  unto  them  from  sorrow 
to  joy,  and  from  mourning  into  a  good  day :  that  they 
should  make  them  days  of  feasting  and  joy,  and  of 'sending 
portions  one  to  another,  and  gifts  to  the  poor. 

23  And  the  Jews  undertook  to  do  as  they  had  begun,  and 
as  Mor'de-cai  had  written  unto  them ; 

24  Because  Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha,the  A'gag-ite, 
the  enemy  of  all  the  Jews,  "had  devised  against  the  Jews  to 
destroy  them,  and  had  cast  Pur,  that  is,  the  lot,  to  fconsume 
them,  an(i  to  destroy  them ; 

25  But  fwhen  Es'tker  came  before  the  king,  he  com- 
manded by  letters  that  his  wicked  device,  which  he  devised 
against  the  Jews,  should  "^return  upon  his  own  head,  and 
that  he  and  his  sons  should  be  hanged  on  the  gallows. 

26  Wherefore  they  called  these  days  Pu'rim  after  the  name 
of  II  Pur.  Therefore,  for  all  the  words  of  "^this  letter,  and  of 
thai  which  they  had  seen  concerning  this  matter,  and  which 
had  come  unto  them, 

27  The  Jews  ordained,  and  took  upon  them,  and  upon 
their  seed,  ajd  upon  all  such  as  'joined  themselves  unto 
them,  so  as  it  should  not  f^il*  that  they  would  keep  these 
two  days  according  to  their  writing,  and  according  to  their 
appointed  time  every  year; 

28  And  that  these  days  should  he  remembered  and  kept 
throughout  every  generation,  every  family,  every  province, 
and  every  city ;  and  that  these  days  of  Pu'rim  should  not 
ffail  from  among  the  Jews,  nor  the  memorial  of  them 
tperisb  from  their  seed. 

29  Then  Es'ther  the  queen,  ^the  daughter  of  Ab-i-ha'il,  and 
Mor'de-cai  the  Jew,  wrote  with  fall  authority,  to  confirm 
this  "second  letter  of  Pu'rim. 

30  And  he  sent  the  letters  unto  all  the  Jews,  to  *the  hun- 
dred twenty  and  seven  provinces  of  the  kingdom  of  A-has- 
u-e'rus,  with  words  of  peace  and  truth, 

31  To  confirm  these  days  of  Pu'rim  in  their  times  appointed, 
according  as  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew  and  Es'ther  the  queen  had 
enjoined  them,  and  as  they  had  decreed  ffor  themselves  and 
for  their  seed,  the  matters  of 'the  fastings  and  their  cry. 

32  And  the  decree  of  Es'ther  confirmed  these  matters  of 
Pu'rim ;  and  it  was  written  in  the  book.

AND  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus  laid  a  tribute  upon  the  land, 
and  upon  "^he  isles  of  the  sea. 

2  And  all  the  acts  of  bis  power  and  of  his  might,  and  the 
declaration  of  the  greatness  of  Mor'de-cai,  'whereunto  the 
king  fadvanced  him,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  of 
the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Me'di-a  and  Per'si-a? 

3  For  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew  wew  "next  unto  king  A-ha.s-u-e'rus, 
and  great  among  the  Jews,  and  accepted  of  the  multitude 
of  his  brethren,  ''seeking  the  wealth  of  his  people,  and 
speaking  peace  to  all  his  seed. 


fourteenth  day  of  the  same  they  rested,  and  made  it 

18  a  day  of  feasting  and  gladness.  But  the  Jews  that 
were  in  Shu',shan  assembled  together  on  the  thir- 
teenth day  thereof,  and  on  the  fourteenth  thereof; 
and  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  same  they  rested, 

19  and  made  it  a  day  of  feasting  and  gladness.  There- 
fore do  the  Jews  of  the  villages  that  dwell  in  the 
unwalled  towns,  make  the  fourteenth  day  of  the 
month  A'dar  a  day  of  gladness  and  feasting,  and 
a  good  day,  and  of  sending  portions  one  to  another. 

20  And  Mor'de-cai  wrote  these  things,  and  sent  letters 
unto  all  the  Jews  that  were  in  all  the  provinces  of 

21  the  king  A-has-u-e'rus,  both  nigh  and  far,  to  enjoin 
them  that  they  should  keep  the  fourteenth  day  of 
the  month  A'dar,  and  the  fifteenth  day  of  the  same, 

22  yearly,  as  the  days  wherein  the  Jews  had  rest  from 
their  enemies,  and  the  month  which  was  turned 
unto  them  from  sorrow  to  gladness,  and  from 
mourning  into  a  good  day:  that  they  should  make 
them  days  of  feasting  and  gladness,  and  of  sending 

23  portions  one  to  another,  and  gifts  to  the  poor.  And 
the  Jews  undertook  to  do  as  they  had  begun,  and 

24 as  Mor'de-cai  had  written  unto  them;  because 
Ha'man  the  son  of  Ham-med'a-tha,  the  A'gag-ite,  the 
enemy  of  all  the  Jews,  had  devised  against  the  Jews 
to  destroy  them,  and  had  cast  Pur,  that  is,  the  lot, 

25  to  consume  them,  and  to  destroy  them ;  but  when 
the  matter  came  before  the  king,  he  commanded  by 
letters  that  his  wicked  device,  which  he  had  devised 
again.st  the  Jews,  should  return  upon  his  own  head ; 
and  that  he  and   his  sons  should  be    hanged  on  the 

26  gallows.  Wherefore  they  called  these  days  Pu'rim, 
after  the  name  of  Pur.  Therefore  because  of  all  the 
words  of  this  letter,  and  of  that  which  they  had 
seen  concerning  this   matter,  and   that  which   had 

27  come  unto  them,  the  Jews  ordained,  and  took  upon 
them,  and  upon  their  seed,  and  upon  all  such  as 
joined  themselves  unto  them,  so  as  it  should  not 
fail^  that  they  would  keep  these  two  days  according 
to  the   writing  thereof,  and    according   to   the   ap- 

28 pointed  time  thereof,  every  year;  and  that  these 
days  should  be  remembered  and  kept  throughout 
every  generation,  every  femily,  every  province,  and 
every  city;  and  that  these  days  of  Pu'rim  should 
not  fail  from  among  the  Jews,  nor  the  memorial  of 

29  them  'perish  from  their  seed.  Then  Es'ther  the 
queen,  the  daughter  of  Ab-i-ha'il,  and  Mor'de-cai  the 
Jew,  wrote  with  all  -authority  to  confirm  this  second 

30  letter  of  Pu'rim.  And  he  sent  letters  unto  all  the 
Jews,  to  the  hundred  twenty  and  seven  provinces  of 
the  kingdom  of  A-has-u-e'rus,  wi</i  words  of  peace  and 

31  truth,  to  confirm  these  days  of  Pu'rim  in  their 
appointisd  times,  according  as  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew 
and  Es'ther  the  queen  had  enjoined  them,  and  as 
they  bad  ordained  for  themselves  and  for  their  seed, 

32'in  the  matter  of  the  fastings  and  their  cry.  And 
the  commandment  of  Es'ther  confirmed  these  mat- 
ters of  Pu'rim ;  and  it  was  written  in  the  book. 

J-U     And  the  king  A-ha.s-u-e'rus  laid  a  tribute  upon  the 

2  land,  and  upon  the  isles  of  the  sea.  And  all  the 
acts  of  his  power  and  of  his  might,  and  the  full 
account  of  the  greatness  of  Mor'de-cai,  whereunto 
the  king  advanced  him,  are  they  not  written  in  the 
book  of  the  chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Me'di-a  and 

3  Per'si-a  ?  For  Mor'de-cai  the  Jew  was  next  unto  king 
A-has-u-e'rus,  and  great  among  the  Jews,and  accepted 
of  the  multitude  of  his  brethren ;  seeking  the  good 
of  his  people,  and  speaking  peace  to  all  tiis  seed.

BOOK  OF  JOB. 


CHAPTER  I. 

The  holiness  and  religious  care  of  Job/or  his  children. 

THEKE  was  a  man  "in  the  land  of  Uz,  whose  name  was 
'Job;  and  that  man  was  "perfect  and  upright,  and  one  that 
''feared  God,  and  eschewed  evil. 

2  And  there  were  born  unto  him  seven  sons  and  three 
daughters. 

3  His  II  substance  also  was  seven  thousand  sheep,  and  three 
thousand  camels,  and  five  hundred  yoke  of  oxen,  and  five 
hundred  she-asses,  and  a  very  great  ||  household;  so  that 
this  man  was  the  greatest  of  all  the  fmen  of  the  east. 

4  And  his  sons  went  and  feasted  in  their  houses,  every  one 
his  day;  and  sent  and  called  for  their  three  sisters  to  eat 
and  to  drink  with  them. 

5  And  it  was  so,  when  the  days  of  their  feasting  were  gone 
about,  that  Job  sent  and  sanctified  them,  and  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,*and  oifered  burnt  offerings  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  them  all:  for  Job  said,It  maybe  that  my  sons  have  sinned, 
and-'^cursed  God  in  their  hearts.     Thus  did  Job  fcontinually. 

6  ^Now  "there  was  a  day  ''when  the  sons  of  God  came  to 
present  themselves  before  the  Lord,  and  fSa'tan  came  also 
faraong  them. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  Whence  comest  thou? 
Then  Sa'tan  answered  the  Lord,  and  said,  From  'going  to 
and  fro  in  the  earth,  and  from  walking  up  and  down  in  it. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan, f'Hast  thou  considered  my 
servant  Job,  that  there  is  none  like  him  in  the  earth,  'a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that  feareth  God,  and  escheweth  evil  ? 

9  Then  Sa'tan  answered  the  Lord  and  said,  Doth  Job  fear 
God  for  nought? 

10  "Hast  not  thou  made  a  hedge  about  him,  and  about 
his  house,  and  about  all  that  he  hath  on  every  side?  "thou 
hast  blessed  the  work  of  his  hands,  and  his  ||  substance  is 
increased  in  the  land. 

11  "But  put  forth  thine  hand  now,  and  touch  all  that  he 
hath,  fand  he  will  "curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  Behold,  all  that  he  hath 
is  in  thy  fpower ;  only  upon  himself  put  not  forth  thine 
hand.     So  Sa'tan  went  forth  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord. 

13  ^And  there  was  a  day  'when  his  sons  and  his  daughters 
were  eating  and  drinking  wine  in  their  eldest  brother's  house : 

14  And  there  came  a  messenger  unto  Job,  and  said.  The 
oxen  were  ploughing,  and  the  asses  feeding  beside  them : 

15  And  the  Sa-be'ans  fell  upon  i/iem,  and  took  them  away; 
yea,  they  have  slain  the  servants  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword ;  and  I  only  am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

16  While  he  was  yet  speaking,  there  came  also  another, 
and  said,  ||The  fire  of  God  is  fallen  from  heaven,  and  hath 
burned  up  the  sheep  and  the  servants,  and  consumed  them ; 
and  I  only  am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

17  While  he  was  yet  speaking,  there  came  also  another, 
and  said,  The  Chal-de'ans  made  out  three  bands,  and  ffell 
upon  the  camels,  and  have  carried  them  away,  yea,  and 
slain  the  servants  with  the  edge  of  the  sword ;  and  I  only 
am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

18  While  he  was  yet  speaking,  there  came  also  another, 
and  said,  ""Thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  were  eating  and 
drinking  wine  in  their  eldest  brother's  house : 

19  And,  behold,  there  came  a  great  wind  ffrom  the  wilder- 
ness, and  smote  the  four  corners  of  the  house,  and  it  fell 
upon  the  young  men,  and  they  are  dead;  and  I  only  am 
escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 


THE 


BOOK  OF  JOB. 


1 


There  was  a  man  in  the  land  of  Uz,  whose  name 
was  'Job;   and  that  man  was  perfect  and   upright, 

2  and  one  that  feared  God,  and  eschewed  evil.  And 
there  were   born   unto   him  seven    sons   and   three 

3  daughters.  His  ^substance  also  was  seven  thousand 
sheep,  and  three  thousand  camels,  and  five  hundred 
yoke  of  oxen,  and  five  hundred  she-asses,  and  a  very 
great  household;  so  that  this  man  was  the  greatest 

4  of  all  the  children  of  the  east.  And  his  sons  went 
and  held  a  feast  in  the  house  of  each  one  upon  his 
day ;  and  they  sent  and  called  for  their  three  sisters 

5  to  eat  and  to  drink  with  them.  And  it  was  so,  when 
the  days  of  their  feasting  were  gone  about,  that  Job 
sent  and  sanctified  them,  and  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  offered  burnt  offerings  according  to 
the  number  of  them  all :  for  Job  said.  It  may  be  that 
my  sons  have  sinned,  and  'renounced  God  in  their 
hearts.     Thus  did  Job  continually. 

6  Now  there  was  a  day  when  the  sons  of  God  came 
to  present  themselves  before  the  Lord,  and  ^Sa'tan 

7  came  also  among  them.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Sa'tan,  Whence  comest  thou  ?  Then  Sa'tan  answered 
the  Lord,  and  said.  From  going  to  and  fro  in  the 

8  earth,  and  from  walking  up  and  down  in  it.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  Hast  thou  considered  my 
servant  Job  ?  ''for  there  is  none  like  him  in  the  earth, 
a  perfect  and  an  upright  man,  one  that  feareth  God, 

9  and  escheweth  evil.  Then  Sa'tan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said.  Doth  Job  fear  God   for  nought? 

10  Hast  not  thou  made  an  hedge  about  him,  and  about 
his  house,  and  about  all  that  he  hath,  on  every  side  ? 
thou  hast  blessed  the  work  of  his  hands,  and  his 

11  ^substance  is  increased  in  the  land.  But  put  forth 
thine  hand  now,  and  touch  all  that  he  hath,  and  he 

12  will  renounce  thee  to  thy  face.  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Sa'tan,  Behold,  all  that  he  hath  is  in  thy  'power; 
only  upon  himself  put  not  forth  thine  hand.  So 
Sa'tan  went  forth  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  it  fell  on  a  day  when  his  sons  and  his  daugh- 
ters were  eating  and  drinking  wine  in  their  eldest 

14  brother's  house,  that  there  came  a  messenger  unto 
Job,  and  said,  The  oxen  were  plowing,  and  the  asses 

1 5  feeding  beside  them :  and  ^the  Sa-be'ans  fel  1  upon  them, 
and  took  them  away ;  yea,  they  have  slain  the  'serv- 
ants with  the  edge  of  the  sword ;  and  I  only  am  es- 

16  caped  alone  to  tell  thee.  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  another,  and  said.  The  fire  of  God  is 
fallen  from  heaven,  and  hath  burned  up  the  sheep, 
and  the  'servants,  and  consumed  them ;  and  I  only  am 

17  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee.  While  he  was  yet  speak- 
ing, there  came  also  another,  and  said,  The  Chal-de'ans 
made  three  bands,  and  'fell  upon  the  camels,  and  have 
taken  them  away,  yea,  and  slain  the  'servants  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword;  and  I  only  am  escaped  alone 

18  to  tell  thee.  While  he  was  yet  speaking,  there  came 
also  another,  and  said,  Thy  sons  and  thy  daugh- 
ters were  eating  and  drinking  wine  in  their  eldest 

19  brother's  house  :  and,  behold,  there  came  a  great  wind 
'"from  the  wilderness,  and  smote  the  four  corners  of 
the  house,  and  it  fell  upon  the  young  men,  and  they 
are  dead ;  and  I  only  am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee.

20  Then  Job  arose,  'and  rent  his  ||  mantle,  and  shaved  his 
head,  and  'fell  down  upon  the  ground,  and  worshipped, 

21  And  said,  "Naked  came  I  out  of  my  mother's  womb, 
and  naked  shall  I  return  thither:  the  Lord  "gave,  and 
the  Lord  hath  "taken  away;  'blessed  be  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

22  "In  all  this  Job  sinned  not,  nor  ||  charged  God  foolishly. 

CHAPTER  II. 

Satan  obtaineth  further  leave  to  tempt  Job. 

AGAIN  "there   was  a   day  when  the  sons  of  God  came 
to  present  themselves  before  the  Lord,  and  Sa'tan  came 
also  among  them  to  present  himself  before  the  Lord. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  From  whence  comestthou? 
And  'Sa'tan  answered  the  Lord,  and  said.  From  going  to 
and  fro  in  the  earth,  and  from  walking  up  and  down  in  it. 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  Hast  thou  considered  my 
servant  Job,  that  ihere  is  none  like  him  in  the  earth,  ''a  perfect 
and  an  upright  man,  one  that  feareth  God,  and  escheweth 
evil?  and  still  he  ''holdeth  fast  his  integrity,  although  thou 
movedst  me  against  him,  f'to  destroy  him  without  dause. 

4  And  Sa'tan  answered  the  Lord,  and  said.  Skin  for  skin, 
yea,  all  that  a  man  hath  will  he  give  for  his  life. 

5  -'^But  put  forth  thine  hand  now,  and  touch  his  'bone  and 
his  flesh,  and  he  will  curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

6  *And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  Behold,  he  is  in  thine 
hand;  ||but  save  his  life. 

7  ^So  went  Sa'tan  forth  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord, 
and  smote  Job  with  sore  boils  'from  the  sole  of  his  foot 
unto  his  crown, 

8  And  he  took  him  a  potsherd  to  scrape  himself  withal; 
*and  he  sat  down  among  the  ashes. 

9  ^Then  said  his  wife  unto  him,  ^Dost  thou  still  "retain 
thine  integrity?  curse  God,  and  die. 

10  But  he  said  unto  her.  Thou  speakest  as  one  of  the 
foolish  women  speaketh.  What?  "shall  we  receive  good  at 
the  hand  of  God,  and  shall  we  not  receive  evil?  "In  all 
this  did  not  Job  "sin  with  his  lips. 

11  ^Now  when  Job's  three  'friends  heard  of  all  this  evil 
that  was  come  upon  him,  they  came  every  one  from  his  own 
place ;  El'i-phaz  the'Te'man-ite,  andBil'dad  the'Shu'hite,and 
Zo'pharthe  Na'a-ma-thite :  for  they  had  made  an  appointment 
together  to  come  to  mourn  with  him,  and  to  comfort  him. 

12  And  when  they  lifted  up  their  eyes  afar  off,  and  knew 
him  not,  they  lifted  up  their  voice,  and  wept;  and  they 
rent  every  one  his  mantle,  and  "sprinkled  dust  upon  their 
heads  toward  heaven. 

13  So  they  sat  down  with  him  upon  the  ground  *seven 
days  and  seven  nights,  and  none  spake  a  word  unto  him: 
for  they  saw  that  his  grief  was  very  great. 

CHAPTER  III. 

Job  curseth  the  day  and  services  of  his  birth, 

AFTER  this   opened   Job   his   mouth,  and  cursed   his 
day. 

2  And  Job  fspake,  and  said, 

3  "Let  the  day  perish  wherein  I  was  bom,  and  the  night 
in  which  it  was  said.  There  is  a  man  child  conceived. 

4  Let  that  day  be  darkness;  let  not  God  regard  it  from 
above,  neither  let  the  light  shine  upon  it. 

5  Let  darkness  and  Hhe  shadow  of  death  || stain  it;  let 
a  cloud  dwell  upon  it;  ||  let  the  blackness  of  the  day  ter- 
rify it. 

6  As  for  that  night,  let  darkness  seize  upon  it;  ||Iet  it  not 
be  joined  unto  the  days  of  the  year ;  let  it  not  come  into 
the  number  of  the  months. 

7  Lo,  let  that  night  be  solitary;  let  no  joyful  voice  come 
therein. 

8  Let  them  curse  it  that  curse  the  day,  "who  are  ready  to 
raise  up  ||  their  mourning. 


20  Then  Job  arose,  arid  rent  his  mantle,  and  shaved  his 
head,  and  fell  down  upon   the   ground,    and    wor 

21  shipped;  and  he  said.  Naked  came  I  out  of  my 
mother's  womb,  and  naked  shall  I  return  thither: 
the  Lord  gave,  and  the  Lord  hath   taken    away; 

22  blessed  be  the  name  of  the  Lord.  In  all  this  Job 
sinned  not,  nor  charged  God  with  foolishness. 

1^  Again  there  was  a  day  when  the  sons  of  God  came 
to  present  themselves  before  the  Lord,  and  Sa'tan 
came  also  among  them  to  present  himself  before  the 

2  Lord.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  From 
whence  comest  thou?  And  Sa'tan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said,  From  going  to  and  fro  in  the  earth, 

3  and  from  walking  up  and  down  in  it.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  Hast  thou  considered  my 
servant  Job  ?  'for  there  is  none  like  him  in  the  earth, 
a  perfect  and  an  upright  man,  one  that  feareth  God, 
and  escheweth  evil :  and  he  still  holdeth  fast  his  in 
tegrity,  although  thou  movedst  me  against  him,  ^to 

4  destroy  him  without  cause.  And  Sa'tan  answered 
the  Lord,  and  said,  Skin  for  skin,  yea,  all  that  a 

5  man  hath  will  he  give  for  his  life.  But  put  forth 
thine    hand  now,  and  touch  his  bone  and  his  flesh, 

6  and  he  will  renounce  thee  to  thy  face.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  Behold,  he  is  in  thine  hand; 

7  only  spare  his  life.  So  Sa'tan  went  forth  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord,  and  smote  Job  with  sore 
boils   from  the  sole  of  his   foot  unto   his   crown 

8  And   he   took    him   a    potsherd    to  scrape  himself 
9 withal;  and  he  sat  among   the   ashes.     Then    said 

his  wife  unto  him.  Dost  thou  still  hold  fast  thine  in 
10 tegrity?  renounce  God,  and  die.  But  he  said  unto 
her.  Thou  speakest  as  one  of  the  ^foolish  women 
speaketh.  What?  shall  we  receive  good  at  the 
hand  of  God,  and  shall  we  not  receive  evil?  In  all 
this  did  not  Job  sin  with  his  lips. 

11  Now  when  Job's  three  friends  heard  of  all  this  evil 
that  was  come  upon  him,  they  came  every  one  from 
his  own  place ;  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite,  and  Bil'dad 
the  Shu'hite,  and  Zo'phar  theNa'a-ma-thite  :  and  they 
made  an  appointment  together  to  come  to  bemoan 

12  him  and  to  comfort  him.  And  when  they  lifted  up 
their  eyes  afar  off,  and  knew  him  not,  they  lifted  up 
their  voice,  and  wept;  and  they  rent  every  one  his 
mantle,  and  sprinkled  dust  upon  their  heads  toward 

13  heaven.  So  they  sat  down  with  him  upon  the  ground 
seven  days  and  seven  nights,  and  none  spake  a  word 
unto  him  :  for  they  saw  that  his  ^grief  was  very  great. 

O      After  this  opened  Job  his  mouth,  and  cursed  his 

2  day.     And  Job  answered  and  said: 

3  Let  the  day  perish  wherein  I  was  born, 
And  the  night  which  said,  There  is  a  man  child 

conceived. 
4 Let  that  day  be  darkness; 

Let  not  God  "regaiJ  it  from  above, 

Neither  let  the  light  shine  upon  it. 
5  Let  darkness  and  ^the  shadow  of  death  claim  it  for 
their  own; 

Let  a  cloud  dwell  upon  it; 

Let  all  that  maketh  black  the  day  terrify  it. 
6 As  for  that  night,  let  thick  darkness  seize  upon  it: 

Let  it  not  'rejoice  among  the  days  of  the  year; 

Let  it  not  come  into  the  number  of  the  months. 

7  Lo,  let  that  night  be  'barren ; 
Let  no  joyful  voice  come  therein. 

8  Let  them  curse  it  that  curse  the  day, 
Who  are  'ready  to  rouse  up  leviathan.

9  Let  the  stars  of  the  twilight  thereof  be  dark ;  let  it 
look  for  light,  but  have  none ;  neither  let  it  see  fthe 
dawning  of  the  day : 

10  Because  it  shut  not  up  the  doors  of  my  mother's 
womb,  nor  hid  sorrow  from  mine  eyes. 

11  ''Why  died  I  not  from  the  womb?  why  did  I 
give  up  the  ghost  when  I  came  out  of  the  belly  ? 

12  'Why  did   the    knees  prevent   me?  or  why 
breasts  that  I  should  suck  ? 

13  For  now  should  I  have  lain  still  and  been  quiet,  I 
should  have  slept :  then  had  I  been  at  rest, 

14  With  kings  and  counsellors  of  the  earth,  which 
•^built  desolate  places  for  themselves ; 

15  Or  with  princes  that  had  gold,  who  filled  their 
houses  with  silver : 

16  Or  "as  a  hidden  untimely  birth  I  had  not  been; 
as  infants  which  never  saw  light. 

17  There  the  wicked  cease /rowi  troubling;  and  there 
the  fweary  be  at  rest. 

18  There  the  prisoners  rest  together ;  *they  hear  not 
the  voice  of  the  oppressor. 

19  The  small  and  great  are  there;  and  the  servant  is 
free  from  his  master. 

20  'Wherefore  is  light  given  to  him  that  is  in  misery, 
and  life  unto  the  'bitter  in  soul ; 

21  Which  t'long  for  death,  but  it  cometh  not;  and 
dig  for  it  more  than  "for  hid  treasures ;   ., 

22  Which  rejoice  exceedingly,  and  are  glad,  when 
they  can  find  the  grave  ? 

23  Why  is  light  given  to  a  man  whose  way  is  hid,  "and 
whom  God  hath  hedged  in  ? 

24  For  my  sighing  cometh  fbefore  I  eat,  and  my 
roarings  are  poured  out  like  the  waters. 

25  For  fthe  thing  which  I  greatly  feared  is  come  upon 
me,  and  that  which  I  was  afraid  of  is  come  unto  me. 

26  I  was  not  in  safety,  neither  had  I  rest,  neither  was 
I  quiet;  yet  trouble  came. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

Eliphaz  reproveth  Job  for  want  of  religion* 

THEN  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite  answered  and  said, 
2  J/"  we  assay  fto  commune  with  thee,  wilt  thou  be 
grieved?  but  fwho  can  withhold  himself  from  speaking  ? 

3  Behold,  thou  hast  instructed  many,  and  thou  "hast 
strengthened  the  weak  hands. 

4  Thy  words  have  upholden  him  that  was  falling,  and 
thou  'hast  strengthened  fthe  feeble  knees. 

5  But  now  it  is  come  upon  thee,  and  thou  faintest ;  it 
toucheth  thee,  and  thou  art  troubled. 

6  Is  not  this  ''thy  fear,  ''thy  confidence,  thy  hope,  and 
the  uprightness  of  thy  ways  ? 

7  Remember,  I  pray  thee,  'who  ever  perished,  being 
innocent  ?  or  where  were  the  righteous  cut  off? 

8  Even  as  I  have  seen,  -^they  that  plough  iniquity,  and 
sow  wickedness,  reap  the  same. 

9  By  the  blast  of  God  they  perish,  and  ||by  the  breath 
of  his  nostrils  are  they  consumed. 

10  The  roaring  of  the  lion,  and  the  voice  of  the  fierce 
lion,  and  "the  teeth  of  the  young  lions,  are  broken. 

11  *The  old  lion  perisheth  for  lack  of  prey,  and  the 
stout  lion's  whelps  are  scattered  abroad. 

12  Now  a  thing  was  fsecretly  brought  to  me,  and 
mine  ear  received  a  little  thereof. 

13  'In  thoughts  from  the  visions  of  the  night,  when 
deep  sleep  falleth  on  men, 

14  Fear  fcame  upon  me,  and  'trembling,  which  made 
fall  my  bones  to  shake. 

15  Then  a  spirit  passed  before  my  face;  the  hair.ftf 
my  flesh  stood  up  : 


9  Let  the  stars  of  the  twilight  thereof  be  dark : 
Let  it  look  for  light,  but  have  none ; 
Neither  let  it  behold  the  eyelids  of  the  morning : 

10  Because  it  shut  not  up  the  doors  of  my  mother's  womb. 
Nor  hid  trouble  from  mine  eyes. 

11  Why  died  I  not  from  the  womb? 

Why  did  I  not  give  up  the  ghost  when  I  came  out  of  the 
belly? 

12  Why  did  the  knees  receive  me? 

Or  why  the  breasts,  that  I  should  suck  ? 
13 For  now  should  I  have  lien  down  and  been  quiet; 
I  should  have  slept ;  then  had  I  been  at  rest ; 

14  With  kings  and  counsellors  of  the  earth. 
Which  'built  up  waste  places  for  themselves; 

15  Or  with  princes  that  had  gold. 
Who  filled  their  houses  with  silver : 

16  Or  as  an  hidden  untimely  birth  I  had  not  been; 
As  infants  which  never  saw  light. 

17 There  the  wicked  cease  from  troubling; 

And  there  the  weary  be  at  rest. 
18 There  the  prisoners  are  at  ease  together; 

They  hear  not  the  voice  of  the  taskmaster. 

19  The  small  and  great  are  there ; 

And  the  servant  is  free  from  his  master. 

20  Wherefore  is  light  given  to  him  that  is  in  misery, 
And  life  unto  the  bitter  in  soul ; 

21  Which  'long  for  death,  but  it  cometh  not ; 
And  dig  for  it  more  than  for  hid  treasures ; 

22  Which  rejoice  'exceedingly, 

.  And  are  glad,  when  they  can  find  the  grave  ? 

23  Why  is  light  given  to  a  man  whose  way  is  hid, 
And  whom  God  hath  hedged  in? 

24  For  my  sighing  cometh  'before  I  eat. 

And  my  roarings  are  poured  out  like  water. 

25  For  *the  thing  which  I  fear  cometh  upon  me, 
And  that  which  I  am  afraid  of  cometh  unto  me. 

26  'I  am  not  at  ease,  neither  am  I  quiet,  neither  have  I  rest ; 

But  trouble  cometh. 

^     Then  answered  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite,  and  said, 

2  If  one  assay  to  commune  with  thee,  wilt  thou  be  grieved  ? 
But  who  can  withhold  himself  from  speaking? 

3  Behold,  thou  hast  instructed  many. 

And  thou  hast  strengthened  the  weak  hands. 

4  Thy  words  have  upholden  him  that  was  falling, 
And  thou  hast  confirmed  the  'feeble  knees. 

5 But  now  it  is  come  unto  thee,  and  thou  'faintest; 
It  toucheth  thee,  and  thou  art  troubled. 

6  Is  not  thy  fear  of  God  thy  confidence. 
And  thy  hope  the  integrity  of  thy  ways  ? 

7  Remember,  I  pray  thee,  who  ever  perished,  being  inno- 

cent? 
Or  where  were  the  upright  cut  off? 

8  According  as  I  have  seen,  they  that  plow  iniquity, 
And  sow  '"trouble,  reap  the  same. 

9  By  the  breath  of  God  they  perish, 

And  by  the  blast  of  his  anger  are  they  consumed. 

10  The  roaring  of  the  lion,  and  the  voice  of  the  fierce  lion. 
And  the  teeth  of  the  young  lions,  are  broken. 

11  The  old  lion  perisheth  for  lack  of  prey. 

And  the  whelps  of  the  lioness  are  scattered  abroad. 

12  Now  a  thing  was  "secretly  brought  to  me, 
And  mine  ear  received  a  whisper  thereof. 

13  In  thoughts  from  the  visions  of  the  night, 
When  deep  sleep  falleth  on  men, 

14  Fear  came  upon  me,  and  trembling. 
Which  made  all  my  bones  to  shake.

CHAPTER  VI. 

Job  sheweth  that  his  complaints  are  not  causeless. 

BUT  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  Oh  that  my  grief  were  thoroughly  weighed,  and 
my  calamity  flaid  in  the  balances  together! 

3  For  now  it  would  be  heavier  "than  the  sand  of  the 
sea:  therefore  ||my  words  are  swallowed  up. 

4  ""For  the  arrows  of  the  Almighty  are  within  me,  the 
poison  whereof  drinketh  up  my  spirit :  '^the  terrors  of 
God  do  set  themselves  in  array  against  me. 

5  Doth  the  wild  ass  bray  fwhen  he  hath  grass?  or 
loweth  the  ox  over  his  fodder? 

6  Can  that  which  is  unsavoury  be  eaten  without  salt? 
or  is  there  any  taste  in  the  white  of  an  egg? 

7  The  things  that  my  soul  refuseth  to  touch  are  as  my 
sorrowful  meat. 

8  Oh  that  I  might  have  my  request;  and  that  God 
would  grant  me  fthe  thing  that  I  long  for ! 

9  Even  ''that  it  would  please  God  to  destroy  me ;  that 
he  would  let  loose  his  hand  and  cut  me  off! 

10  Then  should  I  yet  have  comfort;  yea,  I  would 
harden  myself  in  sorrow ;  let  him  not  spare ;  for  'I  have 
not  concealed  the  words  of  ^the  Holy  One. 

11  What  is  my  strength,  that  I  should  hope?  Aiid 
what  is  mine  end,  that  I  should  prolong  my  life? 

VI  Is  my  strength  the  strength  of  stones,  or  is  my 
flesh  fof  brass? 

13  /s  not  my  help  in  me  ?  and  is  wisdom  driven  quite 
from  me? 

14  fTo  him  that  is  afflicted  pity  should  he  shewed  from 
his  friend ;  but  he  forsaketh  the  fear  of  the  Almighty. 

15  'My  brethren  have  dealt  deceitfully  as  a  brook,  and 
'as  the  stream  of  brooks  they  jjass  away ; 

16  Which  are  blackish  by  reason  of  the  ice,  and 
wherein  the  snow  is  hid: 

17  What  time  they  wax  warm,  fthey  vanish :  fwhen 
it  is  hot,  they  are  fconsumed  out  of  their  place. 

18  The  paths  of  their  way  are  turned  aside;  they  go 
to  nothing,  and  perish. 

19  The  troops  of  *Te'ma  looked,  the  companies  of 
'She'ba  waited  for  them. 

20  They  were  ""confounded  because  they  had  hoped; 
they  came  thither,  and  were  ashamed. 

21  II  For  now  "ye  are  fnothing;  ye  see  my  casting 
down,  and  "are  afraid. 

22  Did  I  say.  Bring  unto  me,  or.  Give  a  reward  for 
me  of  your  substance? 

23  Or,  Deliver  me  from  the  enemy's  hand?  or  Re- 
deem me  from  the  hand  of  the  mighty? 

24  Teach  me,  and  I  will  hold  my  tongue :  and  cause 
me  to  understand  wherein  I  have  erred. 

25  How  forcible  are  right  words !  but  wliat  doth  your 
arguing  reprove? 

26  Do  ye  imagine  to  reprove  words,  and  the  speeches 
of  one  that  is  desperate,  which  are  as  wind  ? 

27  Yea,  fye  overwhelm  the  fatherless,  and  ye  "dig  a 
pit  for  your  friend. 

28  Now  therefore  be  content,  look  upon  me ;  for  it  is 
fevident  unto  you  if  I  lie. 

29  'Return,  I  pray  you,  let  it  not  be  iniquity;  yea, 
return  again,  my  righteousness  is  \\  in  it. 

30  Is  there  iniquity  in  my  tongue?  cannot  fmy  taste 
discern  perverse  things? 

CHAPTER    VII. 

Job  ejrcuseth  his  desire  of  death. 

/'S  there  not  (["an  appointed  time  to  man  upon  earth? 
are  not  his  days  also  like  the  days  of  a  hireling  ? 


27  Lo  this,  we  have  searched  it,  so  it  is ; 
Hear  it,  and  know  thou  it  'for  thy  good. 
A 

Then  Job  answered  and  said, 

2  Oh  that  my  vexation  were  but  weighed, 

And  my  calamity  laid  in  the  balances  together ! 

3  For  now  it  would  be  heavier  than  the  sand  of  the  seas : 
Therefore  have  my  word3  been  rash. 

4  For  the  arrows  of  the  Almighty  are  within  me, 
The  poison  whereof  my  spirit  drinketh  up: 

The  terrors  of  God  do  set  themselves  in  array  against 
me.

They  go  up  into  the  waste,  and  perish. 
19  The  caravans  of  Te'ma  looked. 

The  companies  of  She'ba  waited  for  them, 
20 They  were  ashamed  because  they  had  hoped; 

They  came  thither,  and  were  confounded. 

21  For  now  ye  ''are  nothing; 

Ye  see  a  terror,  and  are  afraid. 

22  Did  I  say.  Give  unto  me  ? 

Or,  Offer  a  present  for  me  of  your  substance  ? 
23 Or,  Deliver  me  from  the  adversary's  hand? 

Or,  Redeem  me  from  the  hand  of  the  oppressors? 

24  Teach  me,  and  I  will  hold  my  peace : 

And  cause  me  to  understand  wherein  I  have  erred. 

25  How  forcible  are  words  of  uprightness! 
But  what  doth  your  arguing  reprove  ? 

26  Do  ye  imagine  to  reprove  words  ? 

Seeing  that  the  speeches  of  one  that  is  desperate  are  "as 
wind. 

27  Yea,  ye  would  cast  lots  upon  the  fetherless. 
And  make  merchandise  of  your  friend. 

28  Now  therefore  be  pleased  to  look  upon  me ; 
''For  surely  I  shall  not  lie  to  your  face. 

29  Return,  I  pray  you,  let  there  be  no  injustice; 
Yea,  return  again,  "my  cause  is  righteous.

2  As  a  servant  fearnestly  desireth  the  shadow,  and  as 
a  hireling  looketh  for  the  reward  of  his  work: 

3  So  am  I  made  to  possess  'months  of  vanity,  and 
wearisome  nights  are  appointed  to  me. 

4  'When  I  lie  down,  I  say.  When  shall  I  arise,  and 
fthe  night  be  gone?  and  I  am  full  of  tossings  to  and 
fro  unto  the  dawning  of  the  day. 

o  My  flesh  is  ''clothed  with  worms  and  clods  of  dust; 
my  skin  is  broken,  and  become  loathsome. 

6  'My  days  are  swifter  than  a  weaver's  shuttle,  and 
are  spent  without  hope. 

7  O  remember  that  ■'^my  life  is  wind :  mine  eye  fshall 
no  more  ||see  good. 

8  <rhe  eye  of  him  that  hath  seen  me  shall  see  me  no 
more:  thine  eyes  are  upon  me,  and  ||I  am  not. 

9  As  the  cloud  is  consumed  and  vanisheth  away; 
so  *he  that  goeth  down  to  the  grave  shall  come  up 
no  more. 

10  He  shall  return  no  more  to  his  house,  'neither 
shall  his  place  know  him  any  more. 

11  Therefore  I  will  *not  refrain  my  mouth;  I  will 
speak  in  the  anguish  of  my  spirit ;  I  will  'complain  in 
the  bitterness  of  my  soul. 

12  Am  I  a  sea,  or  a  whale,  that  thou  settest  a  watch 
over  me. 

13  "When  I  say,  My  bed  shall  comfort  me,  my  couch 
shall  ease  my  complaint; 

14  Then  thou  scarest  me  with  dreams,  and  terrifiest 
me  through  visions: 

15  So  that  my  soul  chooseth  strangling,  and  death 
rather  fthan  my  life. 

16  "I  loath  it;  I  would  not  live  alway:  "let  me  alone; 
"for  my  days  are  vanity. 

17  'What  is  man,  that  thou  shouldest  magnify  him?

and  try  him  every  moment  ? 

19  How  long  wilt  thou  not  depart  from  me,  nor  let 
me  alone  till  I  swallow  down  my  spittle  ? 

20  I  have  sinned ;  what  shall  I  do  unto  thee,  'O  thou 
preserver  of  men?  why  'hast  thou  set  me  as  a  mark 
against  thee,  so  that  I  am  a  burden  to  myself? 

21  And  why  dost  thou  not  pardon  my  transgression, 
and  take  away  mine  iniquity?  for  now  shall  I  sleep  in 
the  dust ;  and  thou  shalt  seek  me  in  the  morning,  but  I 
shall  not  be, 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Bildad  sheweth  God's  justice  in  dealing  with  men. 

THEN  answered  Bil'dad  the  Shu'hite,  and  said, 
2  How  long  wilt  thou  speak  these  things  f  and  how 
long  shall  the  words  of  thy  mouth  be  like  a  strong 
wind? 

3  "Doth  God  pervert  judgment  ?  or  doth  the  Almighty 
pervert  justice? 

4  If  'thy  children  have  sinned  against  him,  and  he 
have  cast  them  away  ffor  their  transgression ; 

5  'If  thou  wouldest  seek  unto  God  betimes,  and  make 
thy  supplication  to  the  Almighty ; 

6  If  thou  wert  pure  and  upright ;  surely  now  he  would 
awake  for  thee  and  make  tne  habitation  of  thy  right- 
eousness prosperous. 

7  Though  thy  beginning  was  small,  yet  thy  latter  end 
should  greatly  increase. 

8  ''For  inquire,  I  pray  thee,  of  the  former  age,  and 
prepare  thyself  to  the  search  of  thy  fathers: 

9  (For  'we  are  bvt  of  yesterday,  and  know  fnothing, 
because  our  days  upon  earth  are  a  shadow :) 

10  Shall  not  they  teach  thee,  and  tell  thee,  and  utter 
words  out  of  their  heart  ? 


2  As  a  servant  that  earnestly  desireth  the  shadow. 
And  as  an  hireling  that  looketh  for  his  wages : 

3  So  am  I  made  to  possess  months  of  vanity. 
And  wearisome  nights  are  appointed  to  me. 

4  When  I  lie  down,  I  say, 

'When  shall  I  arise  ?  but  the  night  is  long; 
And  I  am  full  of  tossings  to  and  fro  unto  the  dawning 
of  the  day. 
6  My  flesh  is  clothed  with  worms  and  clods  of  dust; 
My  skin  ^closeth  up  and  breaketh  out  afresh. 

6  My  days  are  swifter  than  a  weaver's  shuttle, 
And  are  spent  without  hope. 

7  Oh  remember  that  my  life  is  wind : 
Mine  eye  shall  no  more  see  good. 

8  The  eye  of  him  that  seeth  me  shall  behold  me  no  more : 
Thine  eyes  shall  be  upon  me,  but  I  shall  not  be. 

9  As  the  cloud  is  consumed  and  vanisheth  away, 

So  he  that  goeth  down  to  ^She'ol  shall  come  up  no  more. 

10  He  shall  return  no  more  to  his  house. 
Neither  shall  his  place  know  him  any  more. 

11  Therefore  I  will  not  refrain  my  mouth  ; 
I  will  speak  in  the  anguish  of  my  spirit ; 

I  will  complain  in  the  bitterness  of  my  soul. 

12  Am  I  a  sea,  or  a  sea-monster. 
That  thou  settest  a  watch  over  me  ? 

13  When  I  say.  My  bed  shall  comfort  me, 
My  couch  shall  ease  my  complaint; 

14  Then  thou  scarest  me  with  dreams. 
And  terrifiest  me  through  visions : 

15  So  that  my  soul  chooseth  strangling, 
And  death  rather  than  these  my  bones. 

16^1  loathe  my  life;  I  'would  not  live  alway : 
Let  me  alone ;  for  my  days  are  'vanity. 

17  What  is  man,  that  thou  shouldest  magnify  him. 
And  that  thou  shouldest  set  thine  heart  upon  him, 

18  And  that  thou  shouldest  visit  him  every  morning. 
And  try  him  every  moment? 

19  How  long  wilt  thou  not  look  away  from  me. 
Nor  let  me  alone  till  I  swallow  down  my  spittle? 

20  If  I  have  sinned,what'do  I  unto  thee,0  thou*watcher  of  men  ? 
Why  hast  thou  set  me  as  a  mark  for  thee. 

So  that  I  am  a  burden  to  myself? 

21  And  why  dost  thou  not  pardon  my  transgession,  and  take 

away  mine  iniquity? 
For  now  shall  I  lie  down  in  the  dust ; 
And  thou  shalt  seek  me  diligently,  but  I  shall  not  be. 

O      Then  answered  Bil'dad  the  Shu'hite,  and  said, 

2  How  long  wilt  thou  speak  these  things? 

And  how  long  shall  tne  words  of  thy  mouth  be  like  a 
mighty  wind? 

3  Doth  God  pervert  judgement? 

Or  doth  the  Almighty  pervert  justice? 

4  'If  thy  children  have  sinned  against  him. 
And  he  have  delivered  them  into  the  hand  of  their  trans- 
gression : 

6  If  thou  wouldest  seek  diligently  unto  God, 
And  make  thy  supplication  to  the  Almighty ; 

6  If  thou  wert  pure  and  upright; 
Surely  now  he  would  awake  for  thee, 

And  make  the  habitation  of  thy  righteousness  prosperous. 

7  And  though  thy  beginning  was  small, 
Yet  thy  latter  end  should  greatly  increase. 

8  For  inquire  I  pray  thee,  of  the  former  age,  [out : 
And  apply  thyself  to  that  which  their  fathers  have  searched 

9  (For  we  are  but  of  yesterday,  and  know  nothing, 
Because  our  days  upon  earth  are  a  shadow :) 

10  Shall  not  they  teach  thee,  and  tell  thee, 
And  utter  words  out  of  their  heart?

CHAPTER    IX. 

Man's  innocency  is  not  to  be  condemned  by  afflictions. 

rpHEN  Job  answered  and  said, 


T 


2  I  know  it  is  so  of  a  truth :  but  how  should  "man 
be  just  II with  God? 

3  If  he  will  contend  with  him,  he  cannot  answer  him 
one  of  a  thousand. 

4  ''He  is  wise  in  heart,  and  mighty  in  strength :  who 
hath  hardened  himself  against  him,  and  hath  prospered? 

5  Which  removeth  the  mountains,  and  they  know  not : 
which  overturneth  them  in  his  anger; 

6  Which  ""shaketh  the  earth  out  of  her  place,  and  ''the 
pillars  thereof  tremble ; 

7  Which  commandeth  the  sun,  and  it  riseth  not ;  and 
sealeth  up  the  stars; 

8  *Which  alone  spreadeth  out  the  heavens,  and  tread- 
eth  upon  the  fwaves  of  the  sea ; 

9  -'^Which  niaketh  f  Arc-tu'rus,  0-ri'on,  and  Ple'ia-des, 
and  the  chambers  of  the  south ; 

10  "Which  doeth  great  things  past  finding  out;  yea, 
and  wonders  without  number. 

11  'Lo,  he  goeth  by  me,  and  I  see  him  not:  he  passeth 
on  also,  but  I  perceive  him  not. 

12  'Behold,  he  taketh  away,  fwho  can  hinder  him? 
who  will  say  unto  him,  What  doest  thou? 

13  If  God  will  not  withdraw  his  anger,  *the  fproud 
helpers  do  stoop  under  him. 

14  How  much  less  shall  I  answer  him,  and  choose  out 
my  words  to  reason  with  him? 

15  'Whom,  though  I  were  righteous,  yel  would  I  not 
answer,  hut  I  would  make  supplication  to  my  judge. 

IS  If  I  had  called,  and  he  had  answered  me;  yet  would 
I  not  believe  that  he  had  hearkened  unto  my  voice. 

17  For  he  breaketh  me  with  a  tempest,  and  multipli- 
eth  my  wouuds  '"without  cause. 

18  He  will  not  suffer  me  to  take  my  breath,  but  filleth 
me  with  bitterness. 

19  If  /  speak  of  strength,  lo,  he  is  strong:  and  if  of 
judgment,  who  shall  set  me  a  time  to  plead? 

20  If  I  justify  myself,  mine  own  mouth  shall  condemn 
me:  If  I  say  I  am  perfect,  it  shall  also  prove  me  perverse. 

21  Though  I  were  perfect,  yet  would  I  not  know  my 
soul :  I  would  despise  my  life. 

22  This  is  one  thing,  therefore  I  said  it,  "He  destroyeth 
the  perfect  and  the  wicked. 


11  Can  the  'rush  grow  up  without  mire? 
Can  the  'flag  grow  witnout  water? 

12  Whilst  it  is  yet  in  its  greenness,  and  not  cut  down, 
It  withereth  before  any  other  herb. 

13  So  are  the  paths  of  all  that  forget  God ; 
And  the  hope  of  the  godless  man  shall  perish : 

14  Whose  confidence  shall  %reak  in  sunder. 
And  whose  trust  is  a  spider's  *web. 

15 He  shall  lean  upon  his  house,  but  it  shall  not  stand: 
He  shall  hold  fast  thereby,  but  it  shall  not  endure. 

16  He  is  green  before  the  sun, 
And  his  shoots  go  forth  over  his  garden. 

17  His  roots  are  wrapped  'about  the  heap. 
He  beholdeth  the  place  of  stones. 

18  If  he  be  destroyed  from  his  place. 
Then  it  shall  deny  him,  saying,  I  have  not  seen  thee. 

19  Behold,  this  is  the  joy  of  his  way. 
And  out  of  the  "earth  shall  others  spring. 

20  Behold,  God  will  not  cast  away  a  perfect  man. 
Neither  will  he  uphold  the  evil-doers. 

21  'He  will  yet  fill  thy  mouth  with  laughter. 
And  thy  lips  with  shouting. 

22 They  that  hate  thee  shall  be  clothed  with  shame; 
And  the  tent  of  the  wicked  shall  be  no  more. 

V      Then  Job  answered  and  said, 

2  Of  a  truth  I  know  that  it  is  so  : 
'But  how  can  man  be  just  'with  God  ? 

3  '"If  he  be  pleased  to  contend  with  him. 
He  cannot  answer  him  one  of  a  thousand. 

4  He  is  wise  in  heart,  and  mighty  in  strength : 
Who  hath  hardened  himself  against  him,  and  prospered  ? 

5  Which  removeth  the  mountains,  and  they  know  it  not. 
When  he  overturneth  them  in  his  anger. 

6  Which  shaketh  the  earth  out  of  her  place. 
And  the  pillars  thereof  tremble. 

7  Which  commandeth  the  sun,  and  it  riseth  not; 
And  sealeth  up  the  stars. 

8  Which  alone  stretcheth  out  the  heavens. 
And  treadeth  upon  the  "waves  of  the  sea. 

9  Which  maketh  the  Bear,  O-ri'on,  and  the  Ple'ia-des, 
And  the  chambers  of  the  south. 

10 Which  doeth  great  things  past  finding  out; 

Yea,  marvellous  things  without  number. 
11  Lo,  he  goeth  by  me,  and  I  see  him  not: 

He  passeth  on  also,  but  I  perceive  him  not. 
12 Behold,  he  seizeth  the  prey,  who  can  "hinder  him? 

Who  will  say  unto  him,  What  doest  thou  ? 
13 God  will  not  withdraw  his  anger; 

The  helpers  of  "Ra'hab  "do  stoop  under  him. 

14  How  much  less  shall  I  answer  him. 

And  choose  out  my  words  to  reason  with  him? 

15  Whom,  though  I  were  righteous,  yet  would  I  not  answer ; 
I  would  make  supplication  to  ''mine  adversary. 

16 If  I  had  called,  and  he  had  answered  me; 

Yet  would  I  not  believe  that  he  hearkened  unto  my  voice. 
17 '"For  he  breaketh  me  with  a  tempest. 

And  multiplieth  my  wounds  without  cause. 

18  He  will  not  suffer  me  to  take  my  breath. 
But  filleth  me  with  bitterness. 

19  "If  we  speak  of  the  strength  of  the  mighty,  "lo,  he  is  there  ! 
And  if  of  judgement,  who  will  appoint  me  a  time? 

20  Though  I  be  righteous,  mine  own  mouth  shall  condemn 

me: 
Though  I  be  perfect,  "it  shall  prove  me  perverse. 
21^1  am  2' perfect;  I  regard  not  myself; 
I  despise  my  life. 

22  It  is  all  one ;  therefore  I  say. 

He  destroyeth  the  perfect  and  the  wicked.

23  If  the  scourge  slay  suddenly,  he  will  laugh  at  the 
trial  of  the  innocent. 

24  The  earth  is  given  into  the  hand  of  the  wicked : 
"he  covereth  the  faces  of  the  judges  thereof;  if  not, 
where,  and  who  w  he  ? 

25  Now  "my  days  are  swifter  than  a  post :  they  flee 
away,  they  see  no  good. 

26  They  are  passed  away  as  the  t|| swift  ships:  «as 
the  eagle  that  hasteth  to  the  prey. 

27  'If  I  say,  I  will  forget  my  complaint,  I  will  leave 
off  my  heaviness,  and  comfort  my  self: 

28  'I  am  afraid  of  all  my  sorrows,  I  know  that  thou 
'wilt  not  hold  me  innocent. 

29  Jj^  I  be  wicked,  why  then  labour  I  in  vain  ? 

30  "If  I  wash  myself  with  snow  water,  and  make  my 
hands  never  so  clean  ; 

31  Yet  shalt  thou  plunge  me  in  the  ditch,  and  mine 
own  clothes  shall  ||  abhor  me. 

32  For  "he  is  not  a  man,  as  I  am,  that  I  should  answer 
him,  and  we  should  come  together  in  judgment. 

33  "Neither  is  there  '\2Lny  ||  daysman  betwixt  us,  that 
might  lay  his  hand  upon  us  both. 

34  "Let  him  take  his  rod  away  from  me,  and  let  not 
his  fear  terrify  me  : 

35  Then  would  I  speak,  and  not  fear  him ;  f  but  it  is 
not  so  with  me. 

CHAPTER  X. 

yob  expostulateth  with  God  about  his  afflictions. 

MY  "soul  is   II weary  of  my  life;  I  will  leave  my 
complaint  upon  myself;  'I  will  speak  in  the  bitter- 
ness of  my  soul. 

2  I  will  say  unto  God,  Do  not  condemn  me;  shew  me 
wherefore  thou  contendest  with  me. 

3  Is  it  good  unto  thee  that  thou  shouldest  oppress, 
that  thou  shouldest  despise  fthe  work  of  thine  hands, 
and  shine  upon  the  counsel  of  the  wicked  ? 

4  Hast  thou  eyes  of  flesh  ?  or  "seest  thou  as  man 
seeth  ? 

5  Are  thy  days  as  the  days  of  man?  are  thy  years 
as  man's  days, 

6  That  thou  inquirest  after  mine  iniquity,  and 
searchest  after  my  sin? 

7  fThou  knowest  that  I  am  not  wicked;  and  there 
is  none  that  can  deliver  out  of  thine  hand. 

8  'Thine  hands  fhave  made  me  and  fashioned  me 
together  round  about;  yet  thou  dost  destroy  me. 

9  Remember,  I  beseech  thee,  that  -^thou  hast  made  me 
as  the  clay ;  and  wilt  thou  bring  me  into  dust  again  ? 

10  'Hast  thou  not  poured  me  out  as  milk,  and  curdled 
me  like  cheese? 

11  Thou  hast  clothed  me  with  skin  and  flesh,  and  hast 
ffenced  me  with  bones  and  sinews. 

12  Thou  hast  granted  me  life  and  favour,  and  thy 
visitation  hath  preserved  my  spirit. 

13  And  these  things  hast  thou  hid  in  thine  heart:  I 
know  that  this  is  with  thee. 

14  If  I  sin,  then  'thou  markest  me,  and  thou  wilt  not 
acquit  me  from  mine  iniquity. 

15  If  I  be  wicked,  'woe  unto  me;  *and  if  I  he  right- 
eous, yet  will  I  not  lift  up  my  head.  /  am  full  of  con- 
fusion ;  therefore  'see  thou  mine  affliction ; 

16  For  it  increaseth.  ""Thou  huntest  me  as  a  fierce  lion: 
and  again  thou  shewest  thyself  marvellous  upon  me. 

17  Thou  renewest  ||thy  witnesses  against  me,  and  in- 
creasest  thine  indignation  upon  me;  changes  and  war 
are  against  me. 

18  "Wherefore  then  hast  thou  brought  me  forth  out 
of  the  womb  ?  Oh  that  I  bad  given  up  the  ghost,  and 
no  eye  had  seen  me! 


23  If  the  scourge  slay  suddenly, 

He  will  mock  at  the  'trial  of  the  innocent. 

24  The  earth  is  given  into  the  hand  of  the  wicked : 
He  covereth  the  faces  of  the  judges  thereof; 

If  it  be  not  he,  who  then  is  it? 

25  Now  my  days  are  swifter  than  a  ^post : 
They  flee  away,  they  see  no  good. 

26  They  are  passed  away  as  the  ^swift  ships : 
As  the  eagle  that  swoopeth  on  the  prey. 

27  If  I  say,  I  will  forget  my  complaint, 

I  will  put  off  my  sad  countenance,  and  *be  of  good  cheer : 
28 1  am  afraid  of  all  my  sorrows, 

I  know  that  thou  wilt  not  hold  me  innocent. 

29  I  shall  be  condemned ; 

Why  then  do  I  labour  in  vain  ? 

30  If  I  wash  myself  'with  snow  water. 
And  "make  my  hands  never  so  clean ; 

31  Yet  wilt  thou  plunge  me  in  the  ditch, 
And  mine  own  clothes  shall  abhor  me. 

32  For  he  is  not  a  man,  as  I  am,  that  I  should  answer  him. 
That  we  should  come  together  in  judgement. 

33  There  is  no  "daysman  betwixt  us. 
That  might  lay  his  hand  upon  us  both. 

34  Let  him  take  his  rod  away  from  me. 
And  let  not  his  terror  make  me  afraid: 

85 Then  would  I  speak,  and  not  fear  him; 
^  /\  For  I  am  not  so  in  myself. 
-l-v  My  soul  is  weary  of  my  life ; 

I  will  give  free  course  to  my  complaint ; 

I  will  speak  in  the  bitterness  of  my  soul. 
21  will  say  unto  God,  Do  not  condemn  me; 

Shew  me  wherefore  thou  contendest  with  me. 

3  Is  it  good  unto  thee  that  thou  shouldest  oppress, 
That  thou  shouldest  despise  the  *work  of  thine  hands, 
And  shine  upon  the  counsel  of  the  wicked? 

4  Hast  thou  eyes  of  flesh. 

Or  seest  thou  as  man  seeth  ? 

5  Are  thy  days  as  the  days  of  man, 
Or  thy  years  as  man's  days, 

6  That  thou  inquirest  after  mine  iniquity, 
And  searchest  after  my  sin, 

7  Although  thou  knowest  that  I  am  not  wicked ; 

And  there  is  none  that  can  deliver  out  of  thine  hand  ? 

8  Thine  hands  have  framed  me  and  fashioned  me 
Together  round  about;  yet  thou  dost  destroy  me. 

9  Remember,  I  beseech  thee,  that  thou  hast  fashioned  me 

as  clay; 
And  wilt  thou  bring  me  into  dust  again  ? 

10  Hast  thou  not  poured  me  out  as  milk. 
And  curdled  me  like  cheese? 

11  Thou  hast  clothed  me  with  skin  and  flesh, 
And  knit  me  together  with  bones  and  sinews. 

12  Thou  hast  granted  me  life  and  favour, 

And  thy  "visitation  hath  preserved  my  spirit. 

13  Yet  these  things  thou  didst  hide  in  thine  heart ; 
I  know  that  this  is  with  thee: 

14  If  I  sin,  then  thou  markest  me. 

And  thou  wilt  not  acquit  me  from  mine  iniquity. 

15  If  I  be  wicked,  woe  unto  me ; 

And  if  I  be  righteous,  yet  shall  I  not  lift  up  my  head; 
'"Being  filled  with  ignominy 
And  looking  upon  mine  affliction. 

16  And  if  my  head  exalt  itself,  thou  huntest  me  as  a  lion : 
And  again  thou  shewest  thyself  marvellous  upon  me. 

17  Thou  renewest  thy  witnesses  against  me. 
And  increasest  thine  indignation  upon  me; 
"Changes  and  warfare  are  with  me. 

18  Wherefore  then  hastthou  brought  me  forth  outof  the  womb? 
I  had  given  up  the  ghost,  and  no  eye  had  seen  me.

CHAPTER  XI. 

Zophar  reproveth  Job  for  justifying  himself. 

THEN  answered  Zo'phar  the  Na'a-ma-thite,  and  said, 
2  Should  not  the  multitude  of  words  be  answered? 
and  should  fa  man  full  of  talk  be  ju.stified? 

3  Should  thy  l|lies  make  men  hold  their  peace?  and 
when  thou  mockest,  shall  no  man  make  thee  ashamed  ? 

4  For  "thou  hast  said.  My  doctrine  is  pure,  and  I  am 
clean  in  thine  eyes. 

5  But  oh  that  God  would  speak,  and  open  his  lips 
against  thee; 

6  And  that  he  would  shew  thee  the  secrets  of  wisdom, 
that  they  are  double  to  that  which  is !  Know  therefore  that 
''God  exacteth  of  thee  less  than  thine  iniquity  deserveth. 

7  ''Canst  thou  by  searching  find  out  God?  canst  thou 
find  out  the  Almighty  unto  perfection  ? 

8  It  is  fas  high  as  heaven ;  what  canst  thou  do?  deeper 
than  hell ;  what  canst  thou  know  ? 

9  The  measure  thereof  is  longer  than  the  earth,  and 
broader  than  the  sea. 

10  ''If  he  II  cut  off,  and  shut  up,  or  gather  together, 
then  fwho  can  hinder  him  ? 

11  For  *he  knoweth  vain  men:  he  .seeth  wickedness 
also;  will  he  not  then  consider  itf 

12  For  fA'ain  man  would  be  wise,  though  man  be 
born  like  a  wild  ass's  colt. 

13  "If  thou  ''prepare  thine  heart,  and  'stretch  out  thine 
hands  toward  him; 

14  If  iniquity  be  in  thine  hand,  put  it  far  away,  and 
*let  not  wickedness  dwell  in  thy  tabernacles. 

15  'For  then  shalt  thou  lift  up  thy  face  without  spot; 
yea,  thou  shalt  be  steadfast,  ancl  shalt  not  fear : 

16  Because  thou  shalt  ""forget  thy  misery,  and  remem- 
ber it  as  waters  that  pass  away  ; 

17  And  thine  age  t''shall  be  clearer  than  the  noonday; 
thou  shalt  .shine  forth,  thou  shalt  be  as  the  morning. 

18  And  thou  shalt  be  secure,  because  there  is  hope; 
yea,  thou  shalt  dig  about  thee,  and  "thou  shalt  take  thy 
rest  in  safety. 

19  Also  thou  shalt  lie  down,  and  none  shall  make  thee 
afraid ;  yea,  many  shall  f  make  suit  unto  thee. 

20  But  "the  eyes  of  the  wicked  shall  fail,  and  fthey 
shall  not  escape,  and  'their  hope  shall  be  as  \\  the  giving 
up  of  the  ghost. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Job  maintaineth  himself  against  his  friends. 

AND  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  No  doubt  but  ye  are  the  people,  and  wisdom  shall 
die  wita  you. 

3  But  "I  have  funderstanding  as  well  as  you;  fl 
am  not  inferior  to  you :  yea,  fwho  knoweth  not  such 
things  as  these? 

4  ''I  am  as  one  mocked  of  his  neighbour,  who  "calleth 
upon  God,  and  he  answereth  him :  the  just  upright  man 
is  laughed  to  scorn. 

5  ''He  that  is  ready  to  slip  with  his  feet  i.s  as  a  lamp 
despised  in  the  thought  of  him  that  is  at  ease. 

6  'The  tabernacles  of  robbers  prosper,  and  they  that 
provoke  God  are  secure ;  into  whose  hand  God  bringeth 
abundantly. 


191  should  have  been  as  though  I  had  not  been; 

I  should  have  been  carried  from  the  womb  to  the  grave. 

20  Are  not  my  days  few  ?  'cease  then. 

And  let  me  alone,  that  I  may  ^ke  comfort  a  little, 

21  Before  I  go  whence  I  shall  not  return. 

Even  to  the  land  of  darkness  and  of  the  shadow  of  death ; 

22  A  land  of  thick  darkness,  as  darkness  itself; 

A  land  of  the  shadow  of  death,  without  any  order, 
And  where  the  light  is  as  darkness. 

II      Then  answered  Zo'phar  the  Na'a-ma-thite,  and  said, 
2 Should  not  the  multitude  of  words  be  answered? 
And  should  a  man  full  of  talk  be  justified? 

3  Should  thy  boastings  make  men  hold  their  peace  ? 

And  when  thou  mockest,  shall  no  man  make  thee  ashamed  ? 

4  For  thou  sayest,  My  doctrine  is  pure, 
And  I  am  clean  in  thine  eyes. 

5  But  Oh  that  God  would  speak. 
And  open  his  lips  against  thee ; 

6  And  that  he  would  shew  thee  the  secrets  of  wisdom, 
'That  it  is  manifold  in  effectual  working ! 

Know  therefore  that  God  ^exacteth  of  thee  less  than  thine 
iniquity  deserveth. 
7 'Canst  thou  by  searching  find  out  God? 
Canst  thou  find  out  the  Almighty  unto  perfection? 

8  'It  is  high  as  heaven ;  what  canst  thou  do  ? 
Deeper  than  "She'ol;  what  canst  thou  know? 

9  The  measure  thereof  is  longer  than  the  earth, 
And  broader  than  the  sea. 

10  If  he  pass  through,  and  shut  up, 

And  *'call  unto  judgement,  then  who  can  hinder  him? 

11  For  he  knoweth  vain  men : 

He  seeth  iniquity  also,  'even  though  he  consider  it  not. 

12  '"But  vain  man  is  void  of  understanding, 
Yea,  man  is  bom  as  a  wild  ass's  colt. 

13  If  thou  set  thine  heart  aright, 

And  stretch  out  thine  hands  toward  him ; 

14  If  iniquity  be  in  thine  hand,  put  it  far  away, 
And  let  not  unrighteousness  dwell  in  thy  tents; 

1-5 Surely  then  shalt  thou  lift  up  thy  face  without  spot; 

Yea,  thou  shalt  be  stedfast,  and  shalt  not  fear: 
16  For  thou  shalt  forget  thy  misery  ; 

Thou  shalt  remember  it  as  waters  that  are  passed  away : 
17 And  thy  life  shall  "be  clearer  than  the  noonday; 

Though  there  be  darkness,  it  shall  be  as  the  morning. 

18  And  thou  shalt  be  secure,  because  there  is  hope ; 

Yea,  thou  shalt  search  about  thee,  and  shalt  take  thy  rest 
in  safety. 

19  Also  thou  shalt  lie  down,  and  none  shall  make  thee  afraid ; 
Yea,  many  shall  make  suit  unto  thee. 

20  But  the  eyes  of  the  wicked  shall  fail, 
And  '^they  shall  have  no  way  to  flee, 

And  their  hope  shall  be  the  giving  up  of  the  ghost. 

I^     Then  Job  answered  and  said, 

2  No  doubt  but  ye  are  the  people, 
And  wisdom  shall  die  with  you. 

3  But  I  have  understanding  as  well  as  you ; 
I  am  not  inferior  to  you : 

Yea,  who  knoweth  not  such  things  as  these  ? 
4 1  am  as  one  that  is  a  laughing-stock  to  his  neighbour, 
A  man  that  called  upon  God,  and  he  answered  him : 
The  just,  the  perfect  man  is  a  laughing-stock. 

5  In  the  thought  of  him  that  is  at  ease  there  is  contempt 

for  misfortune; 
It  is  ready  for  them  whose  foot  slippeth. 

6  The  tents  of  robbers  prosper. 

And  they  that  provoke  God  are  secure ; 
''Into  whose  hand  God  bringeth  abundantly.

Job  reproveth  his  friends  of  partiality. 

LO,  mine  eye  hath  seen  all  this,  mine  ear  hath  heard 
and  understood  it. 

2  "What  ye  know,  the  same  do  I  know  also :  I  am  not 
inferior  unto  you. 

3  'Surely  I  would  speak  to  the  Almighty,  and  I  desire

value. 

5  Oh  that  ye  would  altogether  hold  your  peace !  and 
■"it  should  be  your  wisdom. 

6  Hear  now  my  reasoning,  and  hearken  to  the  plead- 
ings of  my  lips. 

7  "Will  ye  speak  wickedly  for  God  ?  and  talk  deceit- 
fully for  him? 

8  Will  ye  accept  his  person  ?  will  ye  contend  for  God  ? 

9  Is  it  good  that  he  should  search  you  out  ?  or  as  one 
man  mocketh  another,  do  ye  so  mock  him? 

10  He  will  surely  reprove  you,  if  ye  do  secretly  accept 
persons. 

11  Shall  not  his  excellency  make  you  afraid?  and  his

'put  my  life  in  mine  hand? 


7  But  ask  now  the  beasts,  and  they  shall  teach  thee ;

8  Or  speak  to  the  earth,  and  it  shall  teach  thee ; 
And  the  fishes  of  the  sea  shall  declare  unto  thee. 

9  Who  knoweth  not  'in  all  these, 

That  the  hand  of  the  Lord  hath  wrought  this? 

10  In  whose  hand  is  the  soul  of  every  living  thing,

And  taketh  away  the  understanding  of  the  elders. 

21  He  poureth  contempt  upon  princes.

Ye  are  all  physicians  of  no  value. 

5  Oh  that  ye  would  altogether  hold  your  peace  I 
And  it  should  be  your  wisdom. 

6  Hear  now  my  reasoning, 
And  hearken  to  the  pleadings  of  my  lips. 

7  Will  ye  speak  unrighteously  for  God, 
And  talk  deceitfully  for  him  ? 

8  Will  ye  ^respect  his  person  ? 
Will  ye  contend  for  God  ? 

9  Is  it  good  that  he  should  search  you  out? 
Or  as  one  'deceiveth  a  man,  will  ye  "deceive  him? 

10  He  will  surely  reprove  you. 
If  ye  do  secretly  "respect  persons. 

11  Shall  not  his  excellency  make  you  afraid. 
And  his  dread  fall  upon  you? 

12  Your  memorable  sayings  are  proverbs  of  ashes, 
Your  defences  are  defences  of  clay. 

13  Hold  your  peace,  let  me  alone,  that  I  may  speak, 
And  let  come  on  me  what  will.

it  will  sprout  again,  and  that  the  tender  branch  thereof 
will  not  cease. 

8  Though  the  root  thereof  wax  old  in  the  earth,  and

1 2  So  man  lieth  down,  and  riseth  not:  'till  the  heavens  he 
no  more,  they  shall  not  awake,  nor  be  raised  out  of  their  sleep. 

13  Oh  that  thou  wouldest  hide  me  in  the  grave,  that  thou 
wouldest  keep  me  secret,  until  thy  wrath  be  past,  that  thou 
wouldest  appoint  me  a  set  time,  and  remember  me ! 

14  If  a  man  die,  shall  he  live  again  f  all  the  days  of  my 
appointed  time  'will  I  wait,  ""till  my  change  come. 

15  "Thou  shalt  call, and  I  will  answer  thee:  thou  wilt 
have  a  desire  to  the  work  of  thine  hands. 

16  "For  now  thou  numberest  my  steps  :  dost  thou  not 
watch  over  my  sin  ? 

17  "My  transgression  is  sealed  up  in  a  bag,  and  thou 
sewest  up  mine  iniquity. 

18  And  surely  the  mountain  falling  fcometh  to 
nought,  and  the  rock  is  removed  out  of  his  place. 


15  'Tliough  he  slay  mc,  yet  will  I  wait  for  him  : 
Nevertheless  I  will  ^maintain  my  ways  before  him. 

16 'This  also  shall  be  my  salvation  ; 

■"For  a  godless  man  shall  not  come  before  him. 

17  Hear  diligently  my  speech, 

And  let  my  declaration  be  in  your  ears. 

18  Behold  now,  I  have  ordered  my  cause; 
I  know  that  I  ^am  righteous. 

1 9  Who  is  he  that  will  contend  with  me  ? 

For  now  ^shall  I  hold  my  peace  and  give  up  the  ghost. 

20  Only  do  not  two  things  unto  me, 

Tlien  will  I  not  hide  myself  from  thy  face : 

21  Withdraw  thine  hand  far  from  me; 
And  let  not  thy  terror  make  me  afraid. 

22  Then  call  thou,  and  I  will  answer ; 
Or  let  me  speak,  and  answer  thou  me. 

23  How  many  are  mine  iniquities  and  sins? 
Make  me  to  know  my  transgression  and  my  sin. 

24  Wherefore  hidest  thou  thy  face. 
And  boldest  me  for  thine  enemy? 

25  Wilt  thou  harass  a  driven  leaf? 

And  wilt  thou  pursue  the  dry  stubble? 

26  For  thou  writest  bitter  things  against  me, 

And  makest  me  to  inherit  the  iniquities  of  my  youth : 

27  Thou  puttest  my  feet  also  in  the  stocks,  and  markest  all 

my  paths; 
Thou  drawest  thee  a  line  about  the  soles  f  f  my  feet : 

28  ^Though  I  am  like  a  rotten  thing  that  coiiSumeth, 
-J  J  Like  a  garment  that  is  moth-eaten. 

J-T  Man  that  is  born  of  a  woman 
Is  of  few  days,  and  full  of  trouble. 

2  He  cometh  forth  like  a  flower,  and  'is  out  down : 
He  fleeth  also  as  a  shadow,  and  continueth  not. 

3  And  dost  thou  open  thine  eyes  upon  such  an  one, 
And  bringest  me  into  judgement  with  thee? 

4 'Who  can  bring  a  clean  thing  out  of  an  unclean  ?  not  one. 

5  Seeing  his  days  are  determined,  the  number  of  his  months 

is  with  thee. 
And  thou  hast  appointed  his  bounds  that  he  cannot  pass ; 

6  Look  away  from  him,  that  he  may  '"rest. 
Till  he  shall  "accomplish,  as  an  hireling,  his  day. 

7  For  there  is  hope  of  a  tree,  if  it  be  cut  down,  that  it  will 

sprout  again. 
And  that  the  tender  branch  thereof  will  not  cease. 

8  Though  the  root  thereof  wax  old  in  the  earth, 
And  the  stock  thereof  die  in  the  ground; 

9  Yet  through  the  scent  of  water  it  will  bud, 
And  put  forth  boughs  like  a  plant. 

1 0  But  man  dieth,  and  '^wasteth  away : 

Yea,  man  giveth  up  the  ghost,  and  where  is  he? 

11  ^^As  the  waters  "fail  from  the  sea, 
And  the  river  decayeth  and  drieth  up; 

12 So  man  lieth  down  and  riseth  not: 

Till  the  heavens  be  no  more,  they  shall  not  awake, 
Nor  be  roused  out  of  their  sleep. 

13  Oh  that  thou  wouldest  hide  me  in  '■''She'ol, 

That  thou  wouldest  keep  me  secret,  until  thy  wrath  be  past. 
That  thou  wouldest  appoint  me  a  set  time,and  remember  me! 

14  If  a  man  die,  shall  he  live  again  f 

All  the  days  of  my  warfare  '^would  I  wait. 

Till  my  "release  should  come. 
15 "Thou  shouldest  call,  and  I  would  answer  thee: 

Thou  wouldest  have  a  desire  to  the  work  of  thine  hands. 
16 But  now  thou  numberest  my  steps: 

Dost  thou  not  watch  over  my  sin  ? 

17  My  transgression  is  sealed  up  in  a  bag. 
And  thou  fastenest  up  mine  iniquity. 

18  And  surely  the  mountain  falling  "cometh  to  nought,

CHAPTER    XV. 

Eliphaz  reproveth  Job* s  impiety  in  Justifying  ktmselj. 

THEN  answered  M'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite,  and  said, 
2  Should  a  wise  man  utter  fvain  knowledge,  and 
fill  his  belly  with  the  east  wind  ? 

3  Should  he  reason  with  unprofitable  talk?  or  with 
speeches  wherewith  he  can  do  no  good  ? 

4  Yea,  fthou  eastest  off  fear,  and  restrainest  ||  prayer 
before  Godi 

5  For  thy  mouth  futtereth  thine  iniquity,  and  thou 
choosest  the  tongue  of  the  crafty. 

6  "Thine  own  mouth  condemneth  thee,  and  not  I :  yea, 
thine  own  lips  testify  against  thee. 

7  Art  thou  the  first  man  thai  was  born  ?  ''or  wast  thou 
made  before  the  hills  ? 

8  "Hast  thou  heard  the  secret  of  God  ?  and  dost  thou 
restrain  wisdom  to  thyself? 

9  ''What  knowest  thou,  that  we  know  not?  what 
understandest  thou,  which  is  not  in  us? 

10  'With  us  are  both  the  gray  headed  and  very  aged 
men,  much  elder  than  thy  father. 

11  Are  the  consolations  of  God  small  with  thee?  is 
there  auy  secret  thing  with  thee  ? 

12  Why  doth  thine  heart  carry  thee  away?  and  what 
do  thine  eyes  wink  at, 

13  That  thou  turn  est  thy  spirit  against  God,  and  lettest 
such  words  go  out  of  thy  mouth  ? 

14 -'^ What  is  man,  that  he  should  be  clean?  and  he 
which  is  born  of  a  woman,  that  he  should  be  righteous  ? 

15  'Behold,  he  putteth  no  trust  in  his  saints;  yea,  the 
heavens  are  not  ckan  in  his  sight. 

16  ''How  much  more  abominable  and  filthy  is  man, 
'which  drinketh  iniquity  like  water? 

17  I  will  shew  thee,  hear  me;  and  that  which  I  have 
seen  I  will  declare; 

18  Which  wise  men  have  told  *from  their  fathers,  and 
have  not  hid  it: 

19  Unto  whom  alone  the  earth  was  given,  and  'no 
stranger  passed  among  them. 

20  The  wicked  man  travaileth  with  pain  all  his  days, 
"and  the  number  of  years  is  hidden  to  the  oppressor. 

21  t^  dreadful  sound  is  in  his  ears:  "in  prosperity  the 
destroyer  shall  come  upon  him. 

22  He  believeth  not  that  he  shall  return  out  of  dark- 
ness, and  he  is  waited  for  of  the  sword. 

23  He  '^vandereth  abroad  for  bread,  saj/ing", Where  is  it  f 
he  knoweth  that  "the  day  of  darkness  is  ready  at  his  hand. 

24  Trouble  and  anguish  shall  make  him  afraid;  they 
shall  prevail  against  him,  as  a  king  ready  to  the  battle. 

25  For  he  stretcheth  out  his  hand  against  God,  and 
strengtheneth  himself  against  the  Almighty. 

26  He  runneth  upon  him,  even  on  his  neck,  upon  the 
thick  bosses  of  his  bucklers : 

27  'Because  he  covereth  his  face  with  his  fatness,  and 
maketh  coUops  of  fat  on  his  flanks. 

28  And  he  dwelleth  in  desolate  cities,  and  in  houses 
which  no  man  inhabiteth,  which  are  ready  to  become  heaps. 

29  He  shall  not  be  rich,  neither  shall  his  substance 
continue,  neither  shall  he  prolong  the  perfection  thereof 
upon  the  earth. 


19  The  waters  wear  the  stones ; 

The  overflowings  thereof  wash  away  the  dust  of  the  earth : 
And  thou  destroyest  the  hope  of  man. 

20  Thou  prevailest  for  ever  against  him,  and  he  passeth ; 
Thou  changest  his  countenance,  and  sendest  him  away. 

21  His  sons  come  to  honour,  and  he  knoweth  it  not ; 

And  they  are  brought  low,  but  he  perceiveth  it  not  of  them. 

22  'But  his  flesh  upon  him  hath  pain. 
And  his  soul  within  him  mourneth. 

4-0     Then  answered  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite,  and  said, 

2  Should  a  wise  man  make  answer  with  ^vain  knowledge. 
And  fill  his  belly  with  the  east  Avind  ? 

3  Should  he  reason  with  unprofitable  talk. 

Or  with  speeches  wherewith  he  can  do  no  good? 

4  Yea,  thou  doest  away  with  fear. 
And  'restrainest  ^devotion  before  God. 

5  For  'thine  iniquity  teacheth  thy  mouth. 
And  thou  choosest  the  tongue  of  the  crafty. 

6  Thine  own  mouth  condemneth  thee,  and  not  I ; 
Yea,  thine  own  lips  testify  against  thee. 

7  Art  thou  the  first  man  that  was  born  ? 

Or  wast  thou  brought  forth  before  the  hills  ? 

8  "Hast  thou  heard  the  secret  counsel  of  God  ? 
And  dost  thou  restrain  wisdom  to  thyself? 

9 What  knowest  thou,  that  we  know  not? 
What  understandest  thou,  which  is  not  in  us? 

10  With  us  are  both  the  grayheaded  and  the  very  aged  men, 
Much  elder  than  thy  father. 

11  Are  the  consolations  of  God  too  small  for  thee, 
^Aud  the  word  thai  dealeth  gently  with  thee? 

12  Why  doth  thine  heart  carry  thee  away? 
And  why  do  thine  eyes  wink? 

13  That  thou  turnest  thy  spirit  against  God, 
And  lettest  such  words  go  out  of  thy  mouth. 

14  What  is  man,  that  he  should  be  clean? 

And  he  which  is  born  of  a  woman,  that  he  should  be 
righteous  ? 

15  Behold,  he  putteth  no  trust  in  his  holy  ones; 
Yea,  the  heavens  are  not  clean  in  his  sight. 

16  How  much  less  'one  that  is  abominable  and  corrupt, 
A  man  that  drinketh  iniquity  like  water! 

17 1  will  shew  thee,  hear  thou  me; 

And  that  which  I  have  seen  I  will  declare : 

18  (Which  wise  men  have  told 

From  their  fathers,  and  have  not  hid  it ; 

19  Unto  whom  alone  the  land  was  given, 
And  no  stranger  passed  among  them :) 

20  The  wicked  man  travaileth  with  pain  all  his  days, 
'Even  the  number  of  years  that  are  laid  up  for  the  oppressor. 

21  A  sound  of  terrors  is  in  his  ears ; 

In  prosperity  the  spoiler  shall  come  upon  him : 
22HeDelieveth  not  that  he  shall  return  out  of  darkness. 
And  he  is  waited  for  of  the  sword : 

23  He  wandereth  abroad  for  bread,  saying,  Where  is  it  ? 
He  knoweth  that  the  day  of  darkness  is  ready  at  his 'hand : 

24  Distress  and  anguish  make  him  afraid ; 

They  prevail  against  him,  as  a  king  ready  to  the  battle : 

25  Because  he  hath  stretched  out  his  bimd  against  God, 
And  '"behaveth  himself  proudly  against  the  Almighty; 

26  He  runneth  upon  him  with  a  stiff  neck, 
"With  the  thick  bosses  of  his  bucklers :

CHAPITER  XVI. 

Jod  maintaineth  his  innocence. 

rpHEN  Job  answered  and  said, 

J-  2  I  have  heard  many  such  things:  || "miserable 
comforters  are  ye  all. 

3  Shall  fvain  words  have  an  end  ?  or  what  embold- 
eneth  thee  that  thou  answerest? 

4  I  also  could  speak  as  ye  do:  if  your  soul  were  in 
my  soul's  stead,  I  could  heap  up  words  against  you,  and 
''shake  mine  head  at  you. 

5  But  I  would  .strengthen  you  with  my  mouth,  and 
the  moving  of  my  lips  should  assuage  your  grief. 

6  Though  I  speak,  my  grief  is  not  assuaged :  and 
though  I  forbear,  fwhat  am  I  eased? 

7  But  now  he  hath  made  me  weary  :  thou  hast  made 
desolate  all  my  company. 

8  And  thou  hast  filled  me  with  wrinkles,  which  is  a 
witness  against  me :  and  my  leanness  rising  up  in  me 
beareth  witness  to  my  face. 

9  "He  teareth  me  in  his  wrath,  who  hateth  me:  he 
gnasheth  upon  me  with  his  teeth ;  ''mine  enemy  sharp- 
eneth  his  eyes  upon  me. 

10  They  have 'gaped  upon  mtkwith  their  mouth;  they 
-'have  smitten  me  upon  the  cheek  reproachfully ;  they 
have  'gathered  themselves  together  against  me. 

11  God  *thath  delivered  me  to  the  ungodly,  and 
turned  me  over  into  the  hands  of  the  wicked. 

12  1  was  at  ease,  but  he  hath  broken  me  asunder :  he 
hath  also  taken  me  by  my  neck,  and  shaken  me  to  pieces, 
and  'set  me  up  for  his  mark. 

13  His  archers  compass  me  round  about,  he  cleaveth 
my  reins  asunder,  and  doth  not  spare;  he  poureth  out 
my  gall  upon  the  ground. 

14  He  breaketh  me  with  breach  upon  breach;  he  run- 
neth upon  me  like  a  giant. 

15  I  have  sewed  sackcloth  upon  my  skin,  and  *defiled 
my  horn  in  the  dust. 

16  My  face  is  foul  with  weeping,  and  on  my  eyelids 
is  the  shadow  of  death  ; 

17  Not  {or  any  injustice  in  mine  hands ;  also  my  prayer 
is  pure. 

1 8  O  earth,  cover  not  thou  my  blood,  and  'let  my  cry- 
have  no  place. 

19  Also  now,  behold,  "my  witness  is  in  heaven,  and 
my  record  is  on  fhigh. 

20  My  friends  fscorn  me :  but  mine  eye  poureth  out 
tears  unto  God, 

21  "Oh  that  one  might  plead  for  a  man  with  God,  as  a 
•man  pleadeth  for  his  || neighbour!

yo5  appeateth  from  men  to  God. 

Y  1 1  breath   is   corrupt,  my  days  are  extinct,  "the 
graves  are  ready,  for  me. 


30  He  shall  not  depart  out  of  darkness ; 
The  flame  shall  dry  up  his  branches. 
And  by  the  breath  of  his  mouth  shall  he  go  away. 

31  Let  him  not  trust  in  vanity,  deceiving  himself: 
For  vanity  shall  be  his  recompence. 

32  It  shall  be  'accomplished  before  his  time. 
And  his  branch  shall  not  be  green. 

33  He  shall  shake  off  his  unripe  grape  as  the  vine, 
And  shall  cast  off  his  flower  as  the  olive. 

34  For  the  company  of  the  godless  shall  be  barren, 
And  fire  shall  consume  the  tents  of  bribery. 

35  They  conceive  mischief,  and  bring  forth  iniquiiy^ 
And  their  belly  prepareth  deceit. 

4-0      Then  Job  answered  and  said, 
2 1  have  heard  many  such  things : 

^Miserable  comforters  are  ye  all. 
3  Shall  ^vain  words  have  an  end  ? 

Or  what  provoketh  thee  that  thou  answerest? 
4 1  also  could  speak  as  ye  do  ; 

If  your  soul  were  in  my  soul's  stead, 

I  could  join  words  together  against  you, 

And  shake  mine  head  at  you. 

5  But  I  would  strengthen  you  with  my  mouth. 
And  the  solace  of  my  lips  should  assuage  your  grief. 

6  Though  I  speak,  my  grief  is  not  assuaged : 
And  though  I  forbear,  Vhat  am  I  eased? 

7  But  now  he  hath  made  me  weary : 
Thou  hast  made  desolate  all  my  company. 

8  And  thou  hast  'laid  fast  hold  on  me,  which  is  a  witness 

against  me  : 
And  my  leanness  riseth  up  against  me,  it  testifieth  to  my 
face. 

9  He  hath  torn  me  in  his  wrath,  and  'persecuted  me ; 
He  hath  gnashed  upon  me  with  his  teeth : 

Mine  adversary  sharpeneth  his  eyes  upon  me. 
10 They  have  gaped  upon  me  with  their  mouth; 

They  have  smitten  me  upon  the  cheek  reproachfully : 

They  gather  themselves  together  against  me. 
11  God  delivereth  me  to  the  ungodly. 

And  casteth  me  into  the  hands  of  the  wicked. 
121  was  at  ease,  and  he  brake  me  asunder ; 

Yea,  he  hath  taken  me  by  the  neck,  and  dashed  me  to 
pieces : 

He  hath  also  set  me  up  for  his  mark. 

13  His  ^archers  compass  me  round  about. 

He  cleaveth  my  reins  asunder,  and  doth  not  spare ; 
He  poureth  out  my  gall  upon- the  ground. 

14  He  breaketh  me  with  breach  upon  breach ; 
He  runneth  upon  me  like  a  'giant. 

151  have  sewed  sackcloth  upon  my  skin. 
And  have  'laid  my  horn  in  the  dust. 

16  My  face  is  '"foul  with  weeping. 

And  on  my  eyelids  is  the  shadow  of  death.; 

17  Although  there  is  no  violence  in  mine  hands 
And  my  prayer  is  pure. 

18  O  earth,  cover  not  thou  my  blood, 
And  let  my  cry  "have  no  resting  place. 

19  Even  now,  behold,  my  witness  is  in  heaven. 
And  he  that  voucheth  for  me  is  on  high. 

20  My  friends  scorn  me : 

Bid  mine  eye  poureth  out  tears  unto  God ; 

21  '^That  he  would  maintain  the  right  of  a  man  with  God, 
And  of  a  son  of  man  with  his  neighbour ! 

22  For  when  a  few  years  are  come, 

I  shall  go  the  way  whence  I  shall  not  return. 

J-'      My  spirit  is  consumed,  my  days  are  extinct. 
The  grave  is  ready  for  me.

eye  fcontinue  in  their  'provocation? 

3  Lay  down  now,  put  me  in  a  surety  with  thee :  who 
is  he  that  'will  strike  hands  with  me? 

4  For  thou  hast  hid  their  heart  from  understanding; 
therefore  shalt  thou  not  exalt  them. 

5  He  that  speaketh  flattery  to  his  friends,  even  the  eyes 
of  his  children  shall  fail. 

6  He  hath  made  me  also  ''a  byword  of  the  people ; 
and  1 1  aforetime  I  was  as  a  tabret. 

7  'Mine  eye  also  is  dim  by  reason  of  sorrow,  and  all 
II  my  members  are  as  a  shadow. 

8  Upright  men  shall  be  astonied  at  this,  and  the  inno- 
cent shall  stir  up  himself  against  the  hypocrite. 

9  The  righteous  also  shall  hold  on  his  way,  and  he  that 
hath  /clean  hands  fshall  be  stronger  and  stronger. 

10  But  as  for  you  all,  "do  ye  return,  and  come  now: 
for  I  cannot  find  one  wise  man  among  you. 

11  ''My  days  are  past,  my  purposes  are  broken  off, 
even  fthe  thoughts  of  my  heart. 

12  They  change  the  night  into  day:  the  light  is  fshort 
because  of  darkness. 

13  If  I  wait  the  grave  is  mine  house:  I  have  made 
my  bed  in  the  darkness. 

14  I  have  fsaid  to  corruption.  Thou  art  my  father: 
to  the  worm,  Thou  art  my  mother  and  my  sister. 

15  And  where  is  now  my  hope?  as  for  my  hope,  who 
shall  see  it? 

16  They  shall  go  down  'to  the  bars  of  the  pit,  when

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Bildad  reproveth  Job  of  presumption  and  impatience. 

THEN  answered  Bil'dad  the  Shu'hite,  and  said, 
2  How  long  will  it  be  ere  ye  make  an  end  of  words? 
mark,  and  afterwards  we  will  speak. 

3  Wherefore  are  we  "counted  as  beasts,  and  reputed 
vile  in  your  sight? 

4  *He  teareth  fhimself  in  his  anger:  shall  the  earth  be  for- 
saken for  thee?  and  shall  the  rock  be  removed  out  of  his  place? 

5  Yea,  "the  light  of  the  wicked   shall  be  put  out,  and 
the  spark  of  his  fire  shall  not  shine. 

6  The  light  shall  be  dark  in  his  tabernacle,  ''and  his 
II  candle  shall  be  put  out  with  him. 

7  The  steps  of  his  strength  shall  be  straitened,  and 
'his  own  counsel  shall  cast  him  down. 

8  For -'^  he  is  cast  into  a  net  by  his  own  feet,  and  he 
walkcth  upon  a  snare. 

9  The  gin  shall  take  him  by  the  heel,  and  "the  robber 
shall  prevail  against  him. 

10  The  snare  is  flaid  for  him  in  the  ground,  and  a  trap 
for  him  in  the  way. 

11  ''Terrors  shall  make  him  afraid  on  every  side,  and 
shall  fdrive  him  to  his  feet. 

12  His  strength  shall  be  hungerbitten,  and  'destruc- 
tion shall  be  ready  at  his  side. 

13  It  shall  devour  the  fstrength  of  his  skin  :  even  the 
firstborn  of  death  shall  devour  his  strength. 

14  *His  confidence  shall  be  rooted  out  of  his  taberna- 
cle, and  it  shall  bring  him  to  the  king  of  terrors. 

15  It  shall  dwell  in  his  tabernacle,  because  it  is  none  of 
his ;  brimstone  shall  be  scattered  upon  his  habitation. 

16  'His  roots  shall  be  dried  up  beneath,  and  above 
shall  his  branch  be  cut  off. 

17  "His  remembrance  shall  perish  from  the  earth,  and 
he  shall  have  no  name  in  the  street. 

18  fHe  shall  be  driven  from  light  into  darkness,  and 
chased  out  of  the  world. 

1 9  "He  shall  neither  have  son  nor  nephew  among  his 
1  people,  nor  any  remaining  in  his  dwellings. 


2  Surely  there  are  'mockers  with  me. 

And  mine  eye  abideth  in  their  provocation. 

3  Give  now  a  pledge,  be  surety  for  me  with  thyself: 
Who  is  there  that  will  strike  hands  with  me? 

4  For  thou  hast  hid  their  heart  from  understanding : 
Therefore  shalt  thou  not  exalt  them. 

5  He  that  denounceth  his  friends  for  a  ^prey. 
Even  the  eyes  of  his  children  shall  fail. 

6  He  hath  made  me  also  a  byword  of  the  people ; 
And  I  am  become  'an  open  abhorring, 

7  Mine  eye  also  is  dim  by  reason  of  sorrow, 
And  all  my  members  are  as  a  shadow. 

8  Upright  men  shall  be  astonied  at  this. 

And  the  innocent  shall  stir  up  himself  against  the  godless. 

9  Yet  shall  the  righteous  hold  on  his  way. 

And  he  that  hath  clean  hands  shall  wax  stronger  and  stronger. 
10 But  return  ye,  all  of  you,  and  come  now: 
^And  I  shall  not  find  a  wise  man  among  you. 

1 1  My  days  are  past,  my  purposes  are  broken  off. 
Even  the  'thoughts  of  my  heart. 

12  They  change  the  night  into  day. 

The  light,  say  they,  is  near  ^unto  the  darkness. 
13 'If  I  look  for  *She'ol  as  mine  house; 

If  I  have  spread  my  couch  in  the  darkness ; 
14  If  I  have  said  to  'corruption.  Thou  art  my  father ; 

To  the  worm.  Thou  art  my  mother,  and  my  sister; 
15 Where  then  is  my  hope? 

And  as  for  my  hope,  who  shall  see  it? 
16  It  shall  go  down  to  the  bars  of  ^She'ol, 

When  once  there  is  rest  in  the  dust. 

+0    Then  answered  Bil'dad  the  Shu'hite,  and  said, 

2  How  long  will  ye  lay  snares  for  words? 
Consider,  and  afterwards  we  will  speak. 

3  Wherefore  are  we  counted  as  beasts. 
And  are  become  unclean  tt  your  sight? 

4  Thou  that  tearest  thyself  in  thine  anger. 
Shall  the  earth  be  forsaken  for  thee? 

Or  shall  the  rock  be  removed  out  of  its  place  ? 

5  Yea,  the  light  of  the  wicked  shall  be  put  out, 
And  the  '"spark  of  his  fire  shall  not  shine. 

6  The  light  shall  be  dark  in  his  tent. 

And  his  lamp  "abo^'e  him  shall  be  put  out. 

7  The  steps  of  his  strength  shall  be  straitened, 
And  his  own  counsel  shall  east  him  down. 

8  For  he  is  cast  into  a  net  by  his  own  feet. 
And  he  walketh  upon  the  toils. 

9  A  gin  shall  take  him  by  the  heel. 
And  a  snare  shall  lay  hold  on  him. 

10  A  noose  is  hid  for  him  in  the  ground, 
And  a  trap  for  him  in  the  way. 

11  Terrors  shall  make  him  afraid  on  every  side, 
And  shall  chase  him  at  his  heels. 

12  His  strength  shall  be  hungerbitten. 

And  calamity  shall  be  ready  '^for  his  halting. 

13  It  shall  devour  the  '^members  of  his  body. 

Yea,  the  firstborn  of  death  shall  devour  his  members. 

14  He  shall  be  rooted  out  of  his  tent  wherein  he  trusteth ; 
And  '*he  shall  be  brought  to  the  king  of  terrors. 

15'*There  shall  dwell  in  his  tent  that  which  is  none  of  his: 
Brimstone  shall  be  scattered  upon  his  habitation. 

16  His  roots  shall  be  dried  up  beneath. 
And  above  shall  his  branch  '"be  cut  off. 

17  His  remembrance  shall  perish  from  the  earth. 
And  he  shall  have  no  name  in  the  street. 

18  He  shall  be  driven  from  light  into  darkness. 
And  chased  out  of  the  world. 

19  He  shall  have  neither  son  nor  son's  son  among  his  people. 
Nor  any  remaining  where  he  sojourned.

CHAPTER    XIX. 

Jo^  craveth  pity — He  believeth   the  resurrection. 

rpHEN  Job  answered  and  said, 

-I-    2  How  long  will  ye  vex  my  soul,  and  break  me  in 

pieces  with  words? 

3  These  "ten  times  have  ye  reproached  me :  ye  are  not 
ashamed  that  ye  H  make  yourselves  strange  to  me. 

4  And  be  it  indeed  that  I  have  erred,  mine  error  re- 
maineth  with  myself. 

5  If  indeed  ye  will  'magnify  yourselves  against  me,  and 
plead  against  me  my  reproach ; 

6  Know  now  that  God  hath  overthrown  me,  and  hath 
compassed  me  with  his  net. 

7  Behold,  I  cry  out  of  || wrong,  but  I  am  not  heard: 
I  cry  aloud,  but  there   is  no  judgment. 

8  "He  hath  fenced  up  my  way  that  I  cannot  pass,  and 
he  hath  set  darkness  in  my  paths. 

9  ''He  hath  stripped  me  of  my  glory,  and  taken  the 
crown  from  my  head. 

10  He  hath  destroyed  me  on  every  side,  and  I  am 
gone  :  and  mine  hope  hath  he  removed  like  a  tree. 

11  He  hath  also  kindled  his  wrath  against  me,  and 'he 
counteth  me  unto  him  as  one  of  his  enemies. 

12  His  troops  come  together,  and-'^raise  up  their  way 
against  me,  and  encamp  round  about  my  tabernacle. 

13  "He  hath  put  my  brethren  far  from  me,  and  mine 
acquaintance  are  verily  estranged  from  me. 

14  My  kinsfolk  have  failed,  and  my  familiar  friends 
have  forgotten  me. 

15  They  that  dwell  in  mine  house  and  my  maids  count 
me  for  a  stranger :  I  am  an  alien  in  their  sight. 

16  1  called  my  servant,  and  he  gave  me  no  answer ;  I 
entreated  him  with  my  mouth. 

17  My  breath  is  strange  to  my  wife,  though  I  entreated 
for  the  children's  sake  of  fmine  own  body. 

18  Yea,  H^young  children  despised  me;  I  arose,  and 
they  spake  against  me. 

19  'AH  fmy  inward  friends  abhorred  me:  and  they 
whom  I  loved  are  turned  against  me. 

20  *My  bone  cleaveth  to  my  skin  ||and  to  my  flesh, 
and  I  am  escaped  with  the  skin  of  my  teeth. 

21  Have  pity  upon  me,  have  pity  upon  me,  O  ye  my 
friends ;  'for  the  hand  of  God  hath  touched  me. 

22  Why  do  ye  ""persecute  me  as  God,  and  are  not  sat- 
isfied with  my  flesh? 

23  fOh  that  my  words  were  now  written!  oh  that 
they  were  printed  in  a  book ! 

24  That  they  were  graven  with  an  iron  pen  and  lead 
in  the  rock  for  ever ! 

25  For  I  know  that  my  Reedeemer  liveth,  and  that 
he  shall  stand  at  the  latter  day  upon  the  earth  : 

26  II  And  thoKgh  after  my  skin  worms  destroy  this  body, 
yet  "in  my  flosh  shall  I  see  God : 

27  Whom  1  shall  see  for  myself,  and  mine  eyes  shall 
behold,  and  not  fanother;  \\though  my  reins  be  con- 
sumed fwithin  me. 

28  But  ye  should  say,  "Why  persecute  we  him,  |1  see- 
ing the  root  of  the  matter  is  found  in  me? 

29  Be  ye  afraid  of  the  sword :  for  wrath  bringeth  the 
punishments  of  the  sword,  "that  ye  may  know  there  is 
a  judgment.      CHAPTER    XX. 

Zophar  skeweth  the  state  and  portion  of  the  wicked. 

THEN  answered  Zo'phar  the  Na'a-ma-thite,  and  said, 
2  Therefore  do  my  thoughts  cause  me  to  answer, 
and  for  this  fl  make  haste. 


20  'They  that  come  after  shall  be  astonied  at  his  day, 
As  they  that  went  before  ^were  afirighted. 

21  Surely  such  are  the  dwellings  of  the  unrighteous. 
And  this  is  the  place  of  him  that  knoweth  not  God. 

-Iv    Then  Job  answered  and  said, 

2  How  long  will  ye  vex  my  soul. 
And  break  me  in  pieces  with  words? 

3  These  ten  times  have  ye  reproached  me : 

Ye  are  not  ashamed  that  ye  deal  hardly  with  me. 

4  And  be  it  indeed  that  I  have  erred, 
Mine  error  remaineth  with  myself. 

5 'If  indeed  ye  will  magnify  yourselves  against  me, 
And  plead  against  me  ray  reproach : 

6  Know  now  that  God  hath  ^subverted  me  in  my  cause, 
And  hath  compassed  me  with  his  net. 

7  Behold,  I  'cry  out  of  wrong,  but  I  am  not  heard : 
I  cry  for  help,  but  there  is  no  judgement. 

8  He  hath  fenced  up  my  way  that  I  cannot  pass, 
And  hath  set  darkness  in  my  paths. 

9  He  hath  stripped  me  of  my  glory, 
And  taken  the  crown  from  my  head. 

10  He  hath  broken  me  down  on  every  side,  and  I  am  gone : 
And  mine  hope  hath  he  plucked  up  like  a  tree. 

1 1  He  hath  also  kindled  his  wrath  against  me, 

And  he  counteth  me  unto  him  as  one  of  his  adversaries. 

1 2  His  troops  come  on  together,and  cast  up  their  way  against  me, 
And  encamp  round  about  my  tent. 

13  He  hath  put  my  brethren  far  from  me, 

And  mine  acquaintance  are  wholly  estranged  from  me. 

14  My  kinsfolk  nave  failed, 

And  my  familiar  friends  have  forgotten  me. 

15  They  that  'dwell  in   mine  house,  and  my  maids,  count 

me  for  a  stranger : 
I  am  an  alien  in  their  sight. 
161  call  unto  my  servant,  and  he  giveth  me  no  answer. 
Though  I  intreat  him  with  my  mouth. 

17  My  breath  is  strange  to  my  wife, 

And'my  supplication  to  the  children'of  my  mother's  womb. 

18  Even  young  children  despise  me; 
If  I  arise,  they  speak  against  me. 

19  All  'my  inward  friends  abhor  me : 

And  they  whom  I  loved  are  turned  against  me. 

20  My  bone  cleaveth  to  my  skin  and  to  my  flesh. 
And  I  am  escaped  with  the  skin  of  my  teeth. 

21  Have  pity  upon  me,  have  pity  upon  me,  O  ye  my  friends ; 
For  the  hand  of  God  hath  touched  me. 

22  Why  do  ye  persecute  me  as  God, 
And  are  not  satisfied  with  my  flesh? 

23  Oh  that  my  words  were  now  written ! 
Oh  that  they  were  inscribed  in  a  book ! 

24  That  with  an  iron  pen  and  lead 

They  were  graven  in  the  rock  for  ever! 

25  '"But  I  know  that  my  "redeemer  liveth. 

And  that  he  shall  stand  up  at  the  last  upon  the  '^earth : 
26 ''And  after  my  s^in  hath  been  thus  destroyed, 
Yet  '*from  my  flesh  shall  I  see  God : 

27  Whom  I  shall  see  ''for  myself, 

And  mine  eves  shall  behold,  and  not  "another. 
My  reins  are  consumed  within  me. 

28  If  ye  say.  How  we  will  persecute  him ! 

'■Seeing  that  the  root  of  the  matter  is  found  in  "me ; 

29  Be  ye  afraid  of  the  sword : 

For  '^wrath  bringeth  the  punishments  of  the  sword. 
That  ye  may  know  there  is  a  judgement. 

-^U    Then  answered  Zo'phar  the  Na'a-ma-thite,  and  said, 
2  Therefore  do  my  thoughts  give  answer  to  me, 
^Even  by  reason  of  my  haste  that  is  in  me.

3  I  have  heard  the  check  of  my  reproach,  and  the 
spirit  of  my  understanding  causeth  me  to  answer. 

4  Knowest  thou  not  this  of  old,  since  man  was  placed 
upon  earth, 

5  "That  the  triumphing  of  the  wicked  is  fshort,  and 
the  joy  of  the  hypocrite  but  for  a  moment? 

6  ""Though  his  excellency  mount  up  to  the  heavens, 
and  his  head  reach  unto  the  fclouds; 

7  Yet  he  shall  perish  for  ever  ""like  his  own  dung :  they 
which  have  seen  him  shall  say.  Where  is  he? 

8  He  shall  fly  away  ""as  a  dream,  and  shall  not  be  found : 
yea,  he  shall  be  chased  away  as  a  vision  of  the  night. 

9  'The  eye  also  which  saw  him  shall  see  him  no  more ; 
neither  shall  his  place  any  more  behold  him. 

10  II  His  children  shall  seek  to  please  the  poor,  and 
his  hands  •'^ shall  restore  their  goods. 

11  His  bones  are  full  of  "the  sin  of  his  ycuth,  *which 
shall  lie  down  with  him  in  the  dust. 

12  Though  wickedness  be  sweet  in  his  mouth,  though 
he  hide  it  under  his  tongue ; 

13  Though  he  spare  it,  and  forsake  it  not,  but  keep 
it  still  fwithin  his  mouth; 

14  Yet  his  meat  in  his  bowels  is  turned,  it  is  the  gall 
of  asps  within  him. 

15  He  hath  swallowed  down  riches,  and  he  shall  vomit 
them  up  again  :  God  shall  cast  them  out  of  his  belly. 

16  He  shall  suck  the  poison  of  asps :  the  viper's  tongue 
shall  slay  him. 

17  He  shall  not  see  "the  rivers,  ||the  floods,  the  brooks 
of  honey  and  butter. 

18  That  which  he  laboured  for  *shall  he  restore,  and 
shall  not  swallow  it  down :  f^ccording  to  his  substance 
shall  the  restitution  be,  and  he  shall  not  rejoice  therein. 

19  Because  he  hath  f  oppressed  and  hath  forsaken  the 
poor;  because  he  hath  violently  taken  away  a  house 
which  he  builded  not; 

20  'Surely  he  shall  not  ffeel  quietness  in  his  belly,  he 
shall  not  save  of  that  which  he  desired. 

21  II There  shall  none  of  his  meat  be  left;  therefore 
shall  no  man  look  for  his  goods. 

22  In  the  fulness  of  his  sufficiency  he  shall  be  in  straits : 
every  hand  of  the  ||  wicked  shall  come  upon  him. 

23  When  he  is  about  to  fill  his  belly,  God  shall  cast 
the  fury  of  his  wrath  upon  him,  and  shall  rain  it  upon 
him  "while  he  is  eating. 

24  "He  shall  flee  from  the  iron  weapon,  and  the  bow 
of  steel  shall  strike  him  through. 

25  It  is  drawn,  and  cometh  out  of  the  body ;  yea,''the  glit- 
tering sword  cometh  out  of  his  gall :  "terrors  are  upon  him. 

26  All  darkness  shall  be  hid  in  his  secret  places:  'a 
fire  not  blown  shall  consume  him;  it  shall  go  ill  with 
him  that  is  left  in  his  tabernacle. 

27  The  heaven  shall  reveal  his  iniquity ;  and  the  earth 
shall  rise  up  against  him. 

28  The  increase  of  his  house  shall  depart,  and  his  goods 
shall  flow  away  in  the  day  of  his  wrath. 

29  'This  is  the  portion  of  a  wicked  man  from  God,  and 
the  heritage  fappointed  unto  him  by  God. 

CHAPTER   XXI. 

The  judgment  of  the  wicked  is  in  another  world. 

BUT  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  Hear  diligently  my  speech,  and  let  this  be  your 
consolations. 

3  Suffer  me  that  I  may  speak ;  and  after  that  I  have 
spoken,  "mock  on. 

4  As  for  me,  is  my  complaint  to  man?  and  if  it  were 
80,  tfhy  should  not  my  spirit  be  ftroubled? 

5  fMark  me,  and  be  aiStonisfaed,  *and  lay  y<y«r  hand 
upon  your  month. 


3 1  have  heard  the  reproof  which  putteth  me  to  shame, 
'And  the  spirit  of  my  understanding  an.swereth  me. 

4  Knowest  thou  not  this  of  old  time. 
Since  man  was  placed  upon  earth, 

5  That  the  triumphing  of  the  wicked  is  short. 
And  the  joy  of  the  godless  but  for  a  moment? 

6  Though  his  excellency  mount  up  to  the  heavens, 
And  his  head  reach  unto  the  clouds; 

7  Yet  he  shall  perish  for  ever  like  his  own  dung: 
They  which  have  seen  him  shall  say,  Where  is  he  ? 

8  He  shall  fly  away  as  a  dream,  and  shall  not  be  found : 
Yea,  he  shall  be  chased  away  as  a  vision  of  the  night. 

9  The  eye  which  saw  him  shall  see  him  no  more ; 
Neither  shall  his  place  any  more  behold  him. 

lO^His  children  shall  seek  the  favour  of  the  poor, 
And  his  hands  shall  give  back  his  wealth. 

11  His  bones  are  full  of  his  youth. 

But  it  shall  lie  down  with  him  in  the  dust. 

12  Though  wickedness  be  sweet  in  his  mouth, 
Though  he  hide  it  under  his  tongue; 

13  Though  he  spare  it,  and  will  not  let  it  go, 
But  keep  it  still  within  his  mouth ; 

14  Yet  his  meat  in  his  bowels  is  turned, 

It  is  the  gall  of  asps  within  him,  [up  again : 

15  He  hath  swallowed  down  riches,  and  he  shall  vomit  them 
God  shall  cast  them  out  of  his  belly. 

16 He  shall  suck  the  poison  of  asps: 
The  viper's  tongue  shall  slay  him. 

17  He  shall  not  look  upon  the  rivers. 

The  flowing  streams  of  honey  and  butter. 

18  That  which  he  laboured  for  shall  he  restore,  and  shall  not 

swallow  it  down ;  [rejoice. 

According  to  the  substance  Hhat  he  hath  gotten,  he  snail  not 
19 For  he  hath  oppressed  and  forsaken  the  poor; 

He  hath  violently  .taken  away  an  house,  *and  he  shall  not 
build  it  up. 

20  Because  he  knew  no  quietness  'within  him. 

He  shall  not  save  aught  of  that  wherein  he  delighteth. 

21  There  was  nothing  left  that  he  devoured  not; 
Therefore  his  prosperity  shall  not  endure. 

22  In  the  fulness  of  his  sufficiency  he  shall  be  in  straits : 
The  hand  of  every  one  that  is  in  misery  shall  come  upon  him, 

23«When  he  is  about  to  fill  his  belly, 

God  shall  cast  the  fierceness  of  his  wrath  upon  him, 
And  shall  rain  it  upon  him  Vhile  he  is  eating. 

24  He  shall  flee  from  the  iron  weapon. 

And  the  bow  of  brass  shall  strike  him  through. 

25  He  draweth  it  forth,  and  it  cometh  out  of  his  body : 
Yea,  the  glittering  point  cometh  out  of  his  gall; 
Terrors  are  upon  nim. 

26  All  darkness  is  laid  up  for  his  treasures : 
A  fire  not  blown  by  man  shall  devour  him; 
"It  shall  consume  that  which  is  left  in  his  tent. 

27  The  heavens  shall  reveal  his  iniquity. 
And  the  earth  shall  rise  up  against  him. 

28  The  increase  of  his  house  shall  depart. 

His  goods  shall  flow  away  in  the  day  of  his  wrath. 

29  This  is  the  portion  of  a  wicked  man  from  God, 
And  the  heritage  appointed  unto  him  by  God. 

^i    Then  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  Hear  diligently  my  speech ; 

And  let  this  be  your  consolations. 
3Sufier  me,  and  I  also  will  speak; 

And  after  that  I  have  spoken,  *mock  on. 

4  As  for  me,  is  my  complaint  '*to  man  ? 
And  why  should  I  not  be  impatient? 

5  "Mark  me,  and  be  astonished, 

And  lay  your  hand  upon  your  mouth.

we  desire  not  the  knowledge  of  thy  ways. 

15  *What  is  the  Almighty,  that  we  should  serve  him? 
and  'what  profit  should  we  have,  if  we  pray  unto  him  ? 

16  Lo,  their  good  is  not  in  their  hand:  'the  counsel 
of  the  wicked  is  far  from  me. 

17  'How  oft  is  the  ||candle  of  the  wicked  put  out!

27  Behold,  I  know  your  thoughts,  and  the  devices 
which  ye  wrongfully  imagine  against  me. 

28  For  ye  say,  'Where  is  the  house  of  the  prince  ? 
and  where  are  fthe  dwellingplaces  of  the  wicked? 

29  Have  ye  not  asked  them  that  go  by  the  way?  and

tion? they  shall  be  brought  forth  to  fthe  day  of  wrath.

and  ""every  man  shall  draw  after  him,  as  there  are  innu- 
merable before  him. 

34  How  then  comfort  ye  me  in  vain,  seeing  in  your

CHAPTER  XXII. 

Eliphaz  sheweth  that  man's  goodness  projiteth  not  God, 

THEN  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite  answered  and  said, 
2  "Can  a  man  be  profitable  unto  God,  ||  as  he  that  is 
wise  may  be  profitable  unto  himself? 

3  Is  tYany  pleasure  to  the  Almighty,  that  thou  art  right- 
eous? or  is  it  gain  to  him,that  thou  makestthy  ways  perfect? 

4  Will  he  reprove  thee  for  fear  of  thee  ?  will  he  enter 
with  thee  into  judgment? 


6  Even  when  I  remember  I  am  troubled. 
And  horror  taketh  hold  on  my  flesh. 

7  Wherefore  do  the  wicked  live. 
Become  old,  yea,  wax  mighty  in  power? 

8  Their  seed  is  established  with  them  in  their  sight, 
And  their  offspring  before  their  eyes. 

9  Their  houses  are  'safe  from  fear. 
Neither  is  the  rod  of  God  upon  them. 

10 Their  bull  gendereth,  and  faileth  not; 
Their  cow  calveth,  and  casteth  not  her  calf. 

1 1  They  send  forth  their  little  ones  like  a  flock, 
And  their  children  dance. 

12  They  ^sing  to  the  timbrel  and  harp, 
And  rejoice  at  the  sound  of  the  pipe. 

13  They  spend  their  days  in  prosperity. 

And  in  a  moment  they  go  down  to  ^She'ol. 

14  Yet  they  said  unto  God,  Depart  from  us ; 
For  we  desire  not  the  knowledge  of  thy  ways. 

15  What  is  the  Almighty,  that  we  should  serve  him? 
And  what  profit  should  we  have,  if  we  pray  unto  him? 

16 ''Lo,  their  prosperity  is  not  in  their  hand: 

The  counsel  of  the  wicked  is  far  from  me. 
17*How  oft  is  it  that  the  lamp  of  the  wicked  is  put  out? 

That  their  calamity  cometh  upon  them? 

That  God  distributeth  sorrows  in  his  anger? 
18  That  they  are  as  stubble  before  the  wind. 

And  as  chaff  that  the  storm  carrieth  away  ? 
19*Fe  say,  God  layeth  up  his  iniquity  for  his  children. 

Let  him  recompense  it  unto  himself,  that  he  may  know  it. 

20  Let  his  own  eyes  see  his  destruction. 
And  let  him  drink  of  the  wrath  of  the  Almighty. 

21  For  what  pleasure  hath  he  in  his  house  after  him. 
When  the  number  of  his  months  is  cut  off  in  the  midst? 

22  Shall  any  teach  God  knowledge? 
Seeing  he  judgeth  those  that  are  high. 

23  One  dieth  in  his  full  strength. 
Being  wholly  at  ease  and  quiet: 

24  His  'breasts  are  full  of  milk. 
And  the  marrow  of  his  bones  is  moistened. 

25  And  another  dieth  in  bitterness  of  soul, 
And  never  ta.steth  of  good. 

26  They  lie  down  alike  in  the  dust. 
And  the  worm  covereth  them. 

27  Behold,  I  know  your  thoughts. 
And  the  devices  which  ye  wrongfully  imagine  against  me. 

28  For  ye  say.  Where  is  the  house  of  the  prince  ? 
And  where  is  the  tent  wherein  the  wicked  dwelt? 

29  Have  ye  not  asked  them  that  go  by  the  way  ? 
And  do  ye  not  know  their  tokens? 

30  That  the  evil  man  is  'reserved  to  the  day  of  calamity  ? 
That  they  are  'led  forth  to  the  day  of  wrath? 

31  Who  shall  declare  his  way  to  his  face  ? 

And  who  shall  repay  him  what  he  hath  done? 
32 '"Yet  shall  he  be  borne  to  the  grave. 
And  "shall  keep  watch  over  the  tomb. 

33  The  clods  of  the  valley  shall  be  sweet  unto  him. 
And  all  men  shall  draw  after  him. 

As  there  were  innumerable  before  him. 

34  How  then  comfort  ye  me  "in  vain, 

Seeing  in  your  answers  their  remaineth  only  ''falsehood  ? 

^^     Then  answered  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite,  and  said, 

2  Can  a  man  be  profitable  unto  God  ? 
Surely  he  that  is  wise  is  profitable  unto  himself. 

3  Is  it  any  pleasure  to  the  Almighty,  that  thou  art  righteous  ? 
Or  is  it  gain  to  him,  that  thou  makest  thy  ways  perfect? 

4  Is  it  '^for  thy  {ear  of  him  that  he  reproveth  thee, 
I      That  he  entereth  with  thee  into  judgement?

5  Is  not  thy  wickedness  great?  and  thine  iniquities 
infinite  ? 

6  For  thou  hast  'taken  a  pledge  from  thy  brother  for 
nought,  and  fstripped  the  naked  of  their  clothing. 

7  Thou  hast  not  given  water  to  the  weary  to  drink,  and 
thou  "hast  withholden  bread  from  the  hungry. 

8  But  as  for  fthe  mighty  man,  he  had  the  earth ;  and 
the  fbonourable  man  dwelt  in  it. 

9  Thou  hast  sent  widows  away  empty,  and  the  arms 
of  ''the  fatherless  have  been  broken. 

10  Therefore  'snares  a7-e  round  about  thee,  and  sud- 
den fear  troubleth  thee; 

1 1  Or  darkness,  that  thou  canst  not  see  ;  and  abundance 
of  -^waters  cover  thee. 

12  Is  not  God  in  the  height  of  heaven  ?  and  behold 
fthe  height  of  the  stars,  how  high  they  are ! 

13  And  thou  sayest,  ll'IIow  doth  God  know?  can  he 
judge  through  the  dark  cloud? 

14  ''Thick  clouds  are  a  covering  to  him,  that  he  seeth 
not ;  and  he  walketh  in  the  circuit  of  heaven. 

15  Hast  thou  marked  the  old  way  which  wicked  men 
have  trodden? 

16  Which  'were  cut  down  out  of  time,  fwhose  foun- 
dation was  overflown  with  a  flood : 

17  *Which  said  unto  God,  Depart  from  us:  and  'what 
can  the  Almighty  do  ||for  them? 

18  Yet  he  filled  their  houses  with  good  things:  but 
"the  counsel  of  the  wicked  is  far  from  me. 

19  "The  righteous  see  it  and  are  glad :  and  the  inno- 
cent laugh  them  to  scorn. 

20  Whereas  our  ||  substance  is  not  cut  down,  but  ||the 
remnant  of  them  the  fire  consumeth. 

21  Acquaint  now  thyself  ||  with  him,  and  "be  at  peace : 
thereby  good  shall  come  unto  thee. 

22  Receive,  I  pray  thee,  the  law  from  his  mouth,  and 
"lay  up  his  words  in  thine  heart. 

23  'If  thou  return  to  the  Almighty,  thou  shalt  be 
built  up,  thou  shalt  put  away  iniquity  far  from  thy 
tabernacles. 

24  Then  shalt  thou  'lay  up  gold  ||as  dust,  and  the 
gold  of  O'phir  as  the  stones  of  the  brooks. 

25  Yea,  the  Almighty  shall  be  thy  ||  defence,  and  thou 
shalt  have  fplenty  of  silver. 

26  For  then  shalt  thou  have  thy  'delight  in  the  Al- 
mighty, and  'shalt  lift  up  thy  face  unto  God. 

27  "Thou  shalt  make  thy  prayer  unto  him,  and  he  shall 
hear  thee,  and  thou  shalt  pay  thy  vows. 

28  Thou  shalt  also  decree  a  thing,  and  it  shall  be 
established  unto  thee:  and  the  light  shall  shine  upon 
thy  ways. 

29  When  men  are  cast  down,  then  thou  shalt  say.  There 
is  lifting  up;  and  "'he  shall  save  the  f humble  person. 

30  II  He  shall  deliver  the  island  of  the  innocent:  and 
it  is  delivered  by  the  pureness  of  thine  hands. 

CHAPTER   XXIII. 

God,  who  is  invisible,  observeth  our  ways, 

THEN  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  Even  to-day  is  my  complaint  bitter :  fmy  stroke 
is  heavier  than  my  groaning. 

3  "Oh  that  I  knew  where  I  might  find  him!  thai  I 
might  come  even  to  his  seat ! 

4  I  would  order  my  cause  before  him,  and  fill  my 
mouth  with  arguments. 

5  I  would  know  the  words  which  he  would  answer  me, 
and  understand  what  he  would  say  unto  me. 

6  'Will  he  plead  against  me  with  his  great  power? 
No ;  but  he  would  put  strength  in  me. 

7  There  the  righteous  might  dispute  with  him;  so 
should  I  be  delivered  for  ever  from  my  judge. 


5 Is  not  thy  wickedness  great? 
Neither  is  there  any  end  to  thine  iniquities. 

6  For  thou  hast  taken  pledges  of  thy  brother  for  nought, 
And  stripped  the  naked  of  their  clothing. 

7  Thou  hast  not  given  water  to  the  weary  to  drink. 
And  thou  hast  withholden  bread  from  the  hungry. 

8  But  as  for  'the  mighty  man,  he  had  the  ^earth ; 
And  'the  honourable  man,  he  dwelt  in  it. 

9  Thou  hast  sent  widows  away  empty. 

And  the  arms  of  the  fatherless  have  been  broken. 

10  Therefore  snares  are  round  about  thee, 
And  sudden  fear  troubleth  thee, 

11  ^Or  darkness,  that  thou  canst  not  see, 
And  abundance  of  waters  cover  thee. 

12  Is  not  God  in  the  height  of  heaven? 

And  behold  the  ''height  of  the  stars,  how  high  they  are ! 

13  And  thou  sayest.  What  doth  God  know? 
Can  he  judge  through  the  thick  darkness? 

14 Thick  clouds  are  a  covering  to  him,  that  he  seeth  not; 

And  he  walketh  *in  the  circuit  of  heaven. 
15 'Wilt  thou  keep  the  old  way 

Which  wicked  men  have  trodden? 
16  Who  were  snatched  away  before  their  time, 

Whose  foundation  was  poured  out  as  a  stream : 
17 Who  said  unto  God,  Depart  from  us; 

And,  What  can  the  Almighty  do  *for  'us? 

18  Yet  he  filled  their  houses  with  good  things: 
But  the  counsel  of  the  wicked  is  far  from  me. 

1 9  The  righteous  see  it,  and  are  glad ; 
And  the  innocent  laugh  them  to  scorn : 

20  Saying,  Surely  they  that  did  rise  up  against  us  are  cut  off. 
And  '"the  remnant  of  them  the  fire  hath  consumed. 

21  Acquaint  now  thyself  with  him,  and  be  at  peace: 
"Thereby  good  shall  come  unto  thee. 

22  Receive,  I  pray  thee,  '^the  law  from  his  mouth, 
And  lay  up  his  words  in  thine  heart. 

23 If  thou  return  to  the  Almighty,  thou  shalt  be  built  up; 
''If  thou  put  away  unrighteousness  far  from  thy  tents. 

24  And  lay  thou  thy  'Hreasure  "in  the  dust, 

And  the  gold  of  O'phir  among  the  stones  of  the  brooks ; 

25  And  the  Almighty  shall  be  thy  '^treasure, 
And  "precious  silver  unto  thee. 

26  For  then  shalt  thou  delight  thyself  in  the  Almighty, 
And  shalt  lift  up  thy  face  unto  God. 

27  Thou  shalt  make  thy  prayer  unto  him,  and  he  shall  hear 

thee ; 
And  thou  shalt  pay  thy  vows. 

28  Thou  shalt  also  decree  a  thing,  and  it  shall  be  established 

unto  thee; 
And  light  shall  shine  upon  thy  ways.  [up; 

29  When  they  "cast  thee  down,  thou  shalt  say,  ITiere  is  lifting 
And  'Hhe  humble  person  he  shall  save. 

30  He  shall  deliver  "even  him  that  is  not  innocent : 

Yea,  he  shall  be  delivered  through  the  cleanness  of  thine 
hands. 

^O     Then  Job  answered  and  said, 
2 Even  to-day  is  my  complaint  ^"rebellious: 

^'My  stroke  is  heavier  than  my  groaning. 
3  Oh  that  I  knew  where  I  might  find  him. 

That  I  might  come  even  to  his  seat! 
41  would  order  my  cause  before  him. 

And  fill  my  mouth  with  arguments. 
51  would  know  the  words  which  he  would  answer  me. 

And  understand  what  he  would  say  unto  me. 

6  Would  he  contend  with  me  in  the  greatness  of  his  power? 
Nay;  ^but  he  would  give  heed  unto  me. 

7  There  the  upright  might  reason  with  him ; 

So  should  I  be  delivered  for  ever  from  my  judge.

8  "Behold,  I  go  forward,  but  he  is  not  there;  and  back- 
ward, but  I  cannot  perceive  him : 

9  On  the  left  hand,  where  he  doth  work,  but  I  cannot 
behold  him:  he  hideth  himself  on  the  right  hand,  that 
I  cannot  see  him: 

10  But  he  ''knoweth  fthe  way  that  I  take :  when  'he 
hath  tried  me,  I  shall  come  forth  as  gold. 

11  -^My  foot  hath  held  his  steps,  his  way  have  I  kept, 
and  not  declined. 

12  Neither  have  I  gone  back  from  the  commandment 
of  his  lips ;  f"!  have  esteemed  the  words  of  his  mouth 
more  than  ||  my  necessary  food. 

13  But  he  is  in  one  mind,  and  *who  can  turn  him  ?  and 
what  'his  soul  desireth,  even  that  he  doeth. 

14  For  he  performeth  the  thing  that  is  ''appointed  for 
me :  and  many  such  things  are  with  him. 

15  Therefore  am  I  troubled  at  his  presence:  when  I 
consider,  I  am  afraid  of  him. 

16  For  God  'maketh  my  heart  soft,  and  the  Almighty 
troubleth  me: 

17  Because  I  was  not  cut  off  before  the  darkness, 
neither  hath  he  covered  the  darkness  from  my  face. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

IVickedness  goeik  often  unpunished — A  secret  judgment  for  the  wicked. 

WHY,  seeing  "times  are  not  hidden  from  the  Al- 
mighty, do  they  that  know  him  not  see  his  days? 

2  Some  remove  the  ''landmarks;  they  violently  take 
away  flocks,  and  ||  feed  thereof. 

3  They  drive  away  the  ass  of  the  fatherless,  they  "take 
the  widow's  ox  for  a  pledge. 

4  They  turn  the  needy  out  of  the  way :  ''the  poor  of 
the  earth  hide  themselves  together. 

5  Behold,  as  wild  asses  in  the  desert,  go  they  forth  to 
their  work;  rising  betimes  for  a  prey:  the  wilderness 
yieldeth  food  for  them  and  for  their  children. 

6  They  reap  every  one  his  fcorn  in  the  field:  and 
f  they  gather  the  vintage  of  the  wicked. 

7  They  'cause  the  naked  to  lodge  without  clothing, 
that  they  have  no  covering  in  the  cold. 

8  They  are  wet  with  the  showers  of  the  mountains, 
and  •'embrace  the  rock  for  want  of  a  shelter. 

9  They  pluck  the  fatherless  from  the  breast,  and  take 
a  pledge  of  the  poor. 

10  They  cause  him  to  go  naked  without  clothing,  and 
they  take  away  the  sheaf /row  the  hungry ; 

11  Which  make  oil  within  their  walls,  and  tread  their 
winepresses,  and  suffer  thirst. 

12  Men  groan  from  out  of  the  city,  and  the  soul  of  the 
wounded  crieth  out :  yet  God  layeth  not  folly  to  them. 

13  They  are  of  those  that  rebel  against  the  light;  they 
know  not  the  ways  thereof,  nor  abide  in  the  paths  thereof. 

14  "The  murderer  rising  with  the  light  killeth  the  poor 
and  needy,  and  in  the  night  is  as  a  thief. 

15  ''The  eye  also  of  the  adulterer  waiteth  for  the  twi- 
light, 'saying,  No  eye  shall  see  me:  and  fdisguiseth 
his  face. 

16  In  the  dark  they  dig  through  houses,  which  they 
had  marked  for  themselves  in  the  day  time :  they  *know 
not  the  light. 

17  For  the  morning  is  to  them  even  as  the  shadow  of 
death :  if  one  know  them,  they  are  in  the  terrors  of  the 
shadow  of  death. 

18  He  is  swift  as  the  waters;  their  portion  is  cursed  in 
the  earth :  he  beholdeth  not  the  way  of  the  vineyards. 

19  Drought  and  heat  fconsume  the  snow  waters:  so 
doth  the  grave  those  which  have  sinned. 

20  The  womb  shall  forget  him;  the  worm  shall  feed 
sweetly  on  him;  'he  shall  be  no  more  remembered;  and 
wickedness  shall  be  broken  as  a  tree. 


8  Behold,  I  go  forward,  but  he  is  not  there; 

And  backward,  but  I  cannot  perceive  him :  [him : 

9  On  the  left  hand,  when  he  doth  work,  but  I  cannot  behold 
He 'hideth  himself  on  the  right  hand,  that  I  cannot  see  him. 

lO^But  he  knoweth  Hhe  way  that  I  take; 

When  he  hath  tried  me,  I  shall  come  forth  as  gold. 
11  My  foot  hath  held  fast  to  his  steps ; 

His  way  have  I  kept,  and  turned  not  aside. 
12 1  have  not  gone  back  from  the  commandment  of  his  lips ; 

I  have  treasured  up  the  words  of  his  mouth  *more  than 
my  'necessary  food. 
13 But  ^he  is  in  one  mind,  and  who  can  turn  him? 

And  what  his  soul  desireth,  even  that  he  doeth. 
14  For  he  performeth  that  which  is  appointed  for  me : 

And  many  such  things  are  with  him. 
15 Therefore  am  I  troubled  at  his  presence; 

When  I  consider,  I  am  afraid  of  him. 
16  For  God  hath  made  my  heart  faint, 

And  the  Almighty  hath  troubled  me : 
17 'Because  I  was  not  cut  off  before  the  darkness. 

Neither  did  he  cover  the  thick  darkness  from  my  face. 

,4^*Why  are  times  not  laid  up  by  the  Almighty? 
And  why  do  not  they  which  know  him  see  his  days? 
2 There  are  that  remove  the  landmarks; 
They  violently  take  away  flocks,  and  feed  them. 

3  They  drive  away  the  ass  of  the  fatherless. 
They  take  the  widow's  ox  for  a  pledge. 

4  They  turn  the  needy  out  of  the  way : 

The  'poor  of  the  earth  hide  themselves  together. 

5  Behold,  as  wild  asses  in  the  desert 

They  go  forth  to  their  work,  seeking  diligently  for  "meat ; 
The  wilderness  yieldeth  them  food  for  their  children. 
6 They  cut  "their  provender  in  the  field; 
And  they  glean  the  vintage  of  the  wicked. 

7  They  lie  all  night  naked  without  clothing, 
And  have  no  covering  in  the  cold. 

8  They  are  wet  with  the  showers  of  the  mountains, 
And  embrace  the  rock  for  want  of  a  shelter. 

9  There  are  that  pluck  the  fatherless  from  the  breast, 
And  '^take  a  pledge  of  the  poor : 

10  (So  that  they  go  about  naked  without  clothing. 
And  being  an-hungred  they  carry  the  sheaves; 

11  They  make  oil  within  the  walls  of  these  men; 
They  tread  their  winepresses,  and  suffer  thirst. 

12  From  out  of  the  '^populous  city  men  groan, 
And  the  soul  of  the  wounded  crieth  out : 
Yet  God  imputeth  it  not  for  folly. 

13 These  are  of^them  that  rebel  against  the  light; 
They  know  not  the  ways  thereof. 
Nor  abide  in  the  paths  thereof.  [needy; 

14  The  murderer  riseth  with  the  light,  he  killeth  the  poor  and 
And  in  the  night  he  is  as  a  thief. 

15  The  eye  also  of  the  adulterer  waiteth  for  the  twilight, 
Saying,  No  eye  shall  see  me: 

And  he  "disguiseth  his  face. 

16  In  the  dark  they  dig  through  houses : 
''They  shut  themselves  up  in  the  day-time ; 
They  know  not  the  light. 

17  For  the  morning  is  to  all  of  them  as  the  shadow  of  death ; 
For  they  know  the  terrors  of  the  shadow  of  death. 

18 "He  is  swift  upon  the  face  of  the  waters; 
Their  portion  is  cursed  in  the  earth: 
He  turneth  not  by  the  way  of  the  vineyards.

20  The  womb  shall  forget  him ;  the  worm  shall  feed  sweetly  on

CHAF'TER  XXV. 

Bildad  sheweth  that  man  cannot  be  justified  be/ore  God. 

THEN  answered  Bil'dad  the  Shu'hite,  and  said, 
2  Dominion   and   fear   are   with    him ;    he   maketh 
peace  in  his  high  places. 

3  Is  there  any  number  of  his  armies  ?  and  upon  whom 
doth  not  "his  light  arise  ? 

4  *How  then  can  man  be  justified  with  God  ?  or  how 
can  he  be  clean  that  is  born  of  a  woman  ? 

5  Behold  even  to  the  moon,  and  it  shineth  not ;  yea, 
the  stars  are  not  pure  in  his  sight. 

6  How  much  less  man,  that  is  "^a  worm ;  and  the  son  of  man 
which  is  ^yiormt  CHAPTER  XXVI. 

Jod  reprovetk  the  uncharitable  spirit  of  Bildad. 

BUT  Job  answered  and  said, 
2  How  hast  thou  helped  him  that  is  without  power  ? 
how  savest  thou  the  arm  that  hath  no  strength  ? 

3  How  hath  thou  counselled  him  that  hath  no  wisdom  ? 
and  how  hast  thou  plentifully  declared  the  thing  as  it  is  ? 

4  To  whom  hast  thou  uttered  words  ?  and  whose  spirit 
came  from  thee  ? 

5  Dead  things  are  formed  from  under  the  waters,  ||  and 
the  inhabitants  thereof. 

6  "Hell  is  naked  before  him,  and  destruction  hath  no 
covering. 

7  "He  stretcheth  out  the  north  over  the  empty  place, 
and  hangeth  the  earth  upon  nothing. 

8  ''He  bindeth  up  the  waters  in  his  thick  clouds ;  and 
the  cloud  is  not  rent  under  them. 

9  He  holdeth  back  the  face  of  his  throne,  and  spread- 
eth  his  cloud  upon  it. 

10  ''He  hath  compassed  the  waters  with  bounds,  f  until 
the  day  and  night  come  to  an  end. 

11  The  pillars  of  heaven  tremble,  and  are  astonished 
at  his  reproof. 

12  'He  divideth  the  sea  with  his  power,  and  by  his 
understanding  he  smiteth  through  f  the  proud. 

13  •''By  his  Spirit  he  hath  garnished  the  heavens;  his 
hand  hath  formed  "the  crooked  serpent. 

14  Lo,  these  are  parts  of  his  ways ;  but  how  little  a  portion 
is  heard  of  him  ?  but  the  thunder  of  his  power  who  can  un- 
derstand?     CHAPTER  XXVII. 

The  iiessings  which  the  wicked  have  are  turned  into  curses. 

MOREOVER  Job   f  continued  his  parable,  and  said, 
2  As  God  liveth,  "wAo  hath  taken  away  my  judg- 
ment; and  the  Almighty,  who  hath  f  vexed  my  soul ; 

3  All  the  while  my  breath  is  in  me,  and  ||  the  spirit 
of  God  is  in  my  nostrils ; 

4  My  lips  shall  not  speak  wickedness,  nor  my  tongue 
utter  deceit. 

5  God  forbid  that  I  should  justify  you:  till  I  die  ''I 
will  not  remove  mine  integrity  from  me. 

6  My  righteousness  I  "hold  fast,  and  will  not  let  it  go : 
''my  heart  shall  not  reproach  me  f  so  long  as  I  live. 

7  Let  mine  enemy  be  as  the  wicked,  and  he  that  riseth 
up  against  me  as  the  unrighteous. 

8  'For  what  is  the  hope  of  the  hypocrite,  though  he 
hath  gained,  when  God  taketh  away  his  soul  ? 


21  He  devoureth  the  barren  that  beareth  not ; 
And  doeth  not  good  to  the  widow. 

22  'He  draweth  away  the  mighty  also  by  his  power : 
He  riseth  up,  and  no  man  is  sure  of  life. 

23  God  giveth  them  to  be  in  security,  and  they  rest  thereon ; 
^And  his  eyes  are  upon  their  ways. 

24 They  are  exalted;  yet  a  little  while,  and  they  are  gone; 

'Yea,  they  are  brought  low,  they  are  *taken  out  of  the  way 
as  all  other, 

And  are  cut  off  as  the  tops  of  the  ears  of  corn. 
25  And  if  it  be  not  so  now,  who  will  prove  me  a  liar, 

And  make  my  speech  nothing  worth  ? 

aO   Then  answered  Bil'dad  the  Shu'hite,  and  said, 
2 Dominion  and  fear  are  with  him; 
He  maketh  peace  in  his  high  places. 

3  Is  there  any  number  of  his  armies  ? 
And  upon  whom  doth  not  his  light  arise? 

4  How  then  can  man  be  just  'with  God? 
Or  how  can  he  be  clean  that  is  born  of  a  woman  ? 

5  Behold,  even  the  moon  hath  no  brightness, 
And  the  stars  are  not  pure  in  his  sight: 

6  How  much  less  man,  that  is  a  worm ! 
And  the  son  of  man,  which  is  a  worm ! 

^v)    Then  Job  answered  and  said, 

2  How  hast  thou  helped  him  that  is  without  power ! 
How  hast  thou  saved  the  arm  that  hath  no  strength ! 

3  How  hast  thou  counselled  him  that  hath  no  wisdom. 
And  plentifully  declared  sound  knowledge ! 

4 To  whom  hast  thou  uttered  words? 

And  whose  'spirit  came  forth  from  thee? 
5 'They  that  are  deceased  tremble 

Beneath  the  waters  and  the  inhabitants  thereof. 

6  *She'ol  is  naked  before  him, 
And  'A-bad'don  hath  no  covering. 

7  He  stretcheth  out  the  north  over  empty  space, 
And  hangeth  the  earth  '"upon  nothing. 

8  He  bindeth  up  the  waters  in  his  thick  clouds ; 
And  the  cloud  is  not  rent  under  them. 

9  He  closeth  in  the  face  of  his  throne. 
And  spreadeth  his  cloud  upon  it. 

10  He  hath  described  a  boundary  upon  the  face  of  the  waters, 
Unto  the  confines  of  light  and  darkness. 

1 1  The  pillars  of  heaven  tremble 
And  are  astonished  at  his  rebuke. 

12  He  "stirreth  up  the  sea  with  his  power. 
And  by  his  understanding  he  smiteth  through  "Ra'hab. 

13 By  his  spirit  the  heavens  are  ''garnished; 

His  hand  hath  pierced  the  '*swift  serpent. 
14 Lo,  these  are  but  the  outskirts  of  his  ways: 

And  "how  small  a  whisper  '*do  we  hear  of  him ! 

But  the  thunder  of  his  "power  who  can  understand  ? 

^i    And  Job  again  took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 

2  As  God  liveth,  who  hath  taken  away  my  right ; 
And  the  Almighty,  who  hath  "vexed  my  soul; 

3  "(For  my  life  is  yet  whole  in  me, 

And  the  spirit  of  God  is  in  my  nostrils ;) 

4  Surely  my  lips  ^shall  not  speak  unrighteousness. 
Neither  ^'shall  niy  tongue  utter  deceit. 

5  God  forbid  that  I  should  justify  you : 

Till  I  die  I  will  not  put  away  mine  integrity  from  me. 
G  My  righteousness  I  hold  fast,  and  will  not  let  it  go : 
My  heart  "shall  not  reproach  me  so  long  as  I  live. 

7  Let  mine  enemy  be  as  the  wicked. 

And  let  him  that  riseth  up  against  me  be  as  the  unrighteous. 

8  For  what  is  the  hope  of  the  godless,  ^though  he  get  him  gain,

CHAPTER   XXVIII. 

There  is  a  knowledge  o/ natural  things. 

SURELY  there  is  Ha  vein  for  the  silver,  and  a  place 
for  gold  where  they  fine  it. 

2  Iron  is  taken  out  of  the  ||  earth,  and  brass  is  molten 
out  o/the  stone. 

3  He  setteth  an  end  to  darkness,  and  searcheth  out 
all  perfection :  the  stones  of  darkness,  and  the  shadow 
of  death. 

4  The  flood  breaketh  out  from  the  inhabitant;  even 
the  waters  forgotten  of  the  foot:  they  are  dried  up,  they 
are  gone  away  from  men. 

5  As  for  the  earth,  out  of  it  cometh  bread :  and  under 
it  is  turned  up  as  it  were  fire. 

6  The  stones  of  it  are  the  place  of  sapphires :  and  it 
hath  II  dust  of  gold. 

7  There  is  a  path  which  no  fowl  knoweth,  and  which 
the  vulture's  eye  hath  not  seen : 

8  The  lion's  whelps  have  not  trodden  it,  nor  the  fierce 
lion  passed  by  it. 

9  He  putteth  forth  his  hand  upon  the  jj  rock;  he  over- 
turneth  the  mountains  by  the  roots. 

10  He  cutteth  out  rivers  among  the  rocks;  and  his 
eye  seeth  every  precious  thing. 

11  He  bindeth  the  floods  ffrom  overflowing;  and  the 
thing  that  is  hid  bringeth  he  forth  to  light. 

12  "But  where  shall  wisdom  be  found?  and  where  is 
the  place  of  understanding  ? 

13  Man  knoweth  not  the  ''price  thereof;  neither  is  it 
found  in  the  land  of  the  living. 

14  ""The  depth  saith.  It  is  not  in  me :  and  the  sea  saith. 
It  is  not  with  me. 

15  fit  ■'cannot  be  gotten  for  gold,  neither  shall  silver 
be  weighed /or  the  price  thereof. 

16  It  cannot  be  valued  with  the  gold  of  O'phir,  with 
the  precious  onyx,  or  the  sapphire. 

17  The  gold  and  the  crystal  cannot  equal  it:  and  the 
exchange  of  it  shall  not  be  for  ||  jewels  of  fine  gold. 


9  Will  God  hear  his  cry, 

When  trouble  cometh  upon  him? 
10  Will  he  delight  himself  in  the  Almighty, 

And  call  upon  God  at  all  times? 
11 1  will  teach  you  concerning  the  hand  of  God; 

That  which  is  with  the  Almighty  will  I  not  conceal. 

1 2  Behold,  all  ye  yourselves  have  seen  it ; 
Why  then  are  ye  become  altogether  vain  ? 

13  This  is  the  portion  of  a  wicked  man  with  God, 

And  the  heritage  of  oppressors,  which  they  receive  from 
the  Almighty. 
14 If  his  children  be  multiplied,  it  is  for  the  sword; 
And  his  offspring  shall  not  be  satisfied  with  bread. 

15  Those  that  remain  of  him  shall  be  buried  in  death. 
And  his  widows  shall  make  no  lamentation. 

16  Though  he  heap  up  silver  as  the  dust, 
And  prepare  raiment  as  the  clay ; 

17  He  may  prepare  it,  but  the  just  shall  put  it  on, 
And  the  innocent  shall  divide  the  silver. 

18  He  buildeth  his  hou.se  as  the  'moth. 
And  as  a  booth  which  the  keeper  maketh. 

19 He  lieth  down  rich,  but  he  'shall  not  be  gathered; 

He  openeth  his  eyes,  and  he  is  not. 
20 Terrors  overtake  him  like  waters; 

A  tempest  stealeth  him  away  in  the  night. 

21  The  east  wind  carrieth  him  away,  and  he  departeth ; 
And  it  sweepeth  him  out  of  his  place. 

22  For  God  shall  hurl  at  him  and  not  spare : 
He  would  fain  flee  out  of  his  hand. 

23  Men  shall  clap  their  hands  at  him. 
And  shall  hiss  him  out  of  his  place. 

^O  ^Surely  there  is  a  mine  for  silver,  ' 

And  a  place  for  gold  which  they  refine. 

2  Iron  is  taken  out  of  the  *earth. 
And  brass  is  molten  out  of  the  stone. 

3  Man  setteth  an  end  to  darkness. 

And  searcheth  out  to  the  furthest  bound 
The  stones  of  thick  darkness  and  of  the  shadow  of  death. 
4 'He  breaketh  open  a  shaft  away  from  where  men  sojourn ; 
They  are  forgotten  of  the  foot  that  passeth  by; 
They  hang  afar  from  men,  they  'swing  to  and  fro. 

5  As  for  the  earth,  out  of  it  cometh  bread : 

And  underneath  it  is  turned  up  as  it  were  by  fire. 

6  The  stones  thereof  are  the  place  of  sapphires, 
'And  it  hath  dust  of  gold. 

7  That  path  no  bird  of  prey  knoweth, 
Neither  hath  the  falcon's  eye  seen  it : 

8  The  ^proud  beasts  have  not  trodden  it. 
Nor  hath  the  fierce  lion  passed  thereby. 

9  He  putteth  forth  his  hand  upon  the  flinty  rock ; 
He  overturneth  the  mountains  by  the  roots. 

10  He  cutteth  out  'channels  among  the  rocks ; 
And  his  eye  seeth  every  precious  thing. 

11  He  bindeth  the  streams  '"that  they  trickle  not; 
And  the  thing  that  is  hid  bringeth  he  forth  to  light. 

12  But  where  shall  wisdom  be  found? 

And  where  is  the  place  of  understanding  ? 

13  Man  knoweth  not  the  price  thereof; 
Neither  is  it  found  in  the  land  of  the  living. 

14  The  deep  saith,  It  is  not  in  me : 
And  the  sea  saith.  It  is  not  with  me. 

15  It  cannot  be  gotten  for  "gold, 

Neither  shall  silver  be  weighed  for  the  price  thereof. 

16  It  cannot  be  valued  with  the  gold  of  O'phir, 
With  the  precious  ''onyx,  or  the  sapphire. 

17 Gold  and  glass  cannot  equal  it: 

Neither  shall  the  exchange  thereof  be  'jewels  of  fine 
gold.

CHAF"rER  XXIX. 

Job  bemoaneth  himself  o/ his /ormer  prosperity. 

MOREOVER  Job  fcontinued  his  parable,  and  said, 
2  Oh  that  I  were  "as  in  months  past,  as  in  the  days 
when  God  preserved  me; 

3  'When  his  1|  candle  shined  upon  my  head,  and  when 
by  his  light  I  walked  through  darkness ; 

4  As  I  was  in  the  days  of  my  youth,  when  '1;he  secret 
of  God  was  upon  my  tabernacle ; 

5  When  the  Almighty  was  yet  with  me,  when  my 
children  were  about  me; 

6  When  ''I  washed  my  steps  with  butter,  and  'the  rock 
poured  fme  out  rivers  of  oil; 

7  When  I  went  out  to  the  gate  through  the  city,  when 
I  prepared  my  seat  in  the  street ! 

8  The  young  men  saw  me,  and  hid  themselves:  and 
the  aged  arose,  and  stood  up. 

9  The  princes  refrained  talking,  and  -^laid  their  hand 
on  their  mouth. 

10  fThe  nobles  held  their  peace,  and  their  'tongue 
cleaved  to  the  roof  of  their  mouth. 

11  When  the  ear  heard  me,  then  it  blessed  me;  and 
when  the  eye  saw  me,  it  gave  witness  to  me : 

12  Because  *I  delivered  the  poor  that  cried,  and  the 
fatherless,  and  him  that  had  none  to  help  him. 

13  The  blessing  of  him  that  was  ready  to  perish  came 
upon  me :  and  I  caused  the  widow's  heart  to  sing  for  joy. 

14  *I  put  on  righteousness,  and  it  clothed  me:  my 
judgment  was  as  a  robe  and  a  diadem. 

15  I  was  *eyes  to  the  blind,  and  feet  was  I  to  the  lame. 

16  I  was  a  father  to  the  poor;  and  'the  cause  which  I 
knew  not  I  searched  out. 

17  And  I  brake  ""fthe  jaws  of  the  wicked,  and  fplucked 
the  spoil  out  of  his  teeth. 

18  Then  I  said,  "I  shall  die  in  my  nest,  and  I  shall 
multiply  my  days  as  the  sand. 

19  °My  root  was  fspread  out  ''by  the  waters,  and  the 
dew  lay  all  night  upon  my  branch. 

20  My  glory  was  ffresh  in  me,  and  'my  bow  was 
frenewed  in  my  hand. 

21  Unto  me  men  gave  ear,  and  waited,  and  kept  silence 
at  my  counsel. 

22  After  my  words  they  spake  not  again;  and  my 
speech  dropped  upon  them. 

23  And  tney  waited  for  me  as  for  the  rain ;  and  they 
opened  their  mouth  wide  as  for  'the  latter  rain. 


18  No  mention  shall  be  made  of  coral  or  of  crystal: 
Yea,  the  price  of  wisdom  is  above  'rubies. 

19  The  topaz  of  E-thi-o'pi-a  shall  not  equal  it, 
Neither  shall  it  be  valued  with  pure  gold. 

20 Whence  then  cometh  wisdom? 

And  where  is  the  place  of  understanding  ? 

21  Seeing  it  is  hid  from  the  eyes  of  all  living, 
And  kept  close  from  the  fowls  of  the  air. 

22  ^Destruction  and  Death  say. 

We  have  heard  a  rumor  thereof  with  our  ears. 

23  God  understandeth  the  way  thereof. 
And  he  knoweth  the  place  thereof. 

24  For  he  looketh  to  the  ends  of  the  earth, 
And  seeth  under  the  whole  heaven; 

25  'To  make  a  weight  for  the  wind ; 

Yea,  he  meteth  out  the  waters  by  measure. 

26  When  he  made  a  decree  for  the  rain, 

And  a  way  for  the  lightning  of  the  thunder : 

27  Then  did  he  see  it,  and  ^declare  it ; 

He  established  it,  yea,  and  searched  it  out. 

28  And  unto  man  he  said, 

Behold,  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  that  is  wisdom ; 
And  to  depart  from  evil  is  understanding. 

^v     And  Job  again  took  up  his  parable,  and  said, 

2  Oh  that  I  were  as  in  the  months  of  old. 
As  in  the  days  when  God  watched  over  me; 

3  When  his  lamp  shined  'upon  my  head. 

And  by  his  light  I  walked  through  darkness ; 

4  As  I  was  in  'the  ripeness  of  my  days. 
When  the  ^secret  of  God  was  upon  my  tent ; 

5  When  the  Almighty  was  yet  with  me. 
And  my  children  were  about  me; 

6  When  my  steps  were  washed  with  butter, 
And  the  rock  poured  me  out  rivers  of  oil ! 

7  When  I  went  forth  to  the  gate  unto  the  city, 
When  I  prepared  my  seat  in  the  'street, 

8  The  young  men  saw  me  and  hid  themselves, 
And  the  aged  rose  up  and  stood ; 

9  The  princes  refrained  talking. 

And  laid  their  hand  on  their  mouth ; 

10  The  voice  of  the  nobles  was 'hushed. 

And  their  tongue  cleaved  to  the  roof  of  their  mouth, 

11  For  when  the  ear  heard  me,  then  it  blessed  me; 
And  when  the  eye  saw  me,  it  gave  witness  unto  me: 

12  Because  I  delivered  the  poor  that  cried. 

The  fatherless  also,  "that  had  none  to  help  him. 

13  The  blessing  of  him  that  was  ready  to  perish  came  upon  me; 
And  I  caused  the  widow's  heart  to  sing  for  joy. 

141  put  on  righteousness,  and  it  "clothed  me : 

My  justice  was  as  a  robe  and  a  "diadem. 
151  was  eyes  to  the  blind. 

And  feet  was  I  to  the  lame. 
16 1  was  a  father  to  the  needy : 

And  "the  cause  of  him  that  I  knew  not  I  searched  out. 

17  And  I  brake  the  "jaws  of  the  unrighteous, 
And  plucked  the  prey  out  of  his  teeth. 

18  Then  I  said,  I  shall  die  "in  my  nest. 

And  I  shall  multiply  my  days  as  '*the  sand : 

19  My  root  is  "spread  out  '*to  the  waters. 

And  the  dew  lieth  all  night  upon  my  branch: 

20  My  glory  is  fresh  in  me, 

And  my  bow  is  renewed  in  my  hand. 

21  Unto  me  men  gave  ear  and  waited. 
And  kept  silence  for  my  counsel. 

22  After  my  words  they  spake  not  again ; 
And  my  speech  dropped  upon  them. 

23  And  they  waited  for  me  as  for  the  rain ; 

And  they  opened  their  mouth  wide  as  for  the  latter  rain.

2A  If  H  laughed  on  them,  they  believed  it  not ;  and  the 
light  of  my  countenance  they  cast  not  down. 

25  I  chose  out  their  way,  and  sat  chief,  and  dwelt  as  a 
king  in  the  army,  as  one  that  comforteth  the  mourners. 
CHAF'TER  XXX. 

Job's  honour  is  turned  into  extreme  contempt. 

BUT  now  they  that  are  fyounger  than  I  have   me 
in  derision,  whose  fathers  I  would  have  disdained 
to  have  set  with  the  dogs  of  my  flock. 

2  Yea,  whereto  might  the  strength  of  their  ha,nda  profit 
me,  in  whom  old  age  was  perished? 

3  For  want  and  famine  they  were  \\  solitary ;  fleeing  into 
the  wilderness  fin  former  time  desolate  and  waste : 

4  Who  cut  up  mallows  by  the  bushes,  and  juniper 
roots  for  their  meat. 

5  They  were  driven  forth  from  among  men,  (they  cried 
after  them  as  after  a  thief,) 

6  To  dwell  in  the  clifis  of  the  valleys,  in  f  caves  of  the 
earth,  and  in  the  rocks. 

7  Among  the  bushes  they  brayed;  under  the  nettles 
they  were  gathered  together. 

8  They  were  children  of  fools,  yea,  children  of  fbase 
men :  they  were  viler  than  the  earth. 

9  "And  now  am  I  their  song,  yea,  I  am  their  byword. 

10  They  abhor  me,  they  flee  far  from  me,  fand  spare 
not  Ho  spit  in  my  face. 

11  Because  he  'hath  loosed  my  cord,  and  afilicted  me, 
they  have  also  let  loose  the  bridle  before  me. 

12  Upon  my  right  hand  rise  the  youth ;  they  push  away 
my  feet,  and  ''they  raise  up  against  me  the  ways  of  their 
destruction. 

13  They  mar  my  path,  they  set  forward  my  calamity, 
they  have  no  helper. 

14  They  came  upon  me  as  a  wide  breaking  in  of  waters  : 
in  the  desolation  they  rolled  themselves  upon  m€. 

15  Terrors  are  turned  upon  me:  they  pursue  fmy 
soul  as  the  wind:  and  my  wel&re  passeth  away  as  a 
cloud. 

16  'And  now  my  soul  is  poured  out  upon  me;  the 
days  of  affliction  have  taken  hold  upon  me. 

17  My  bones  are  pierced  in  me  in  the  night  season: 
and  my  sinews  take  no  rest. 

18  By  the  great  force  of  my  disease  is  my  gar- 
ment changed:  it  bindeth  me  about  as  the  collar  of 
my  coat. 

19  He  hath  cast  me  into  the  mire,  and  I  am  become 
like  dust  and  ashes. 

20  I  cry  unto  thee,  and  thou  dost  not  hear  me :  I  stand 
up,  and  thou  regardest  me  not. 

21  Thou  art  fbecome  cruel  to  me :  with  fthy  strong 
hand  thou  opposest  thyself  against  me. 

22  Thou  liftest  me  up  to  the  wind ;  thou  causest  me 
to  ride  upon  it,  and  dissolvest  my  1|  substance. 

2.3  For  I  know  that  thou  wilt  bring  me  to  death,  and 
to  the  house  ■'appointed  for  all  living. 

24  Howbeit  he  will  not  stretch  out  his  hand  to  the 
tgrave,  though  they  cry  in  his  destruction. 

25  "Did  not  I  weep  ffor  him  that  was  in  trouble  ?  was 
not  my  soul  grieved  for  the  poor  ? 

26  *When  I  looked  for  good,  then  evil  came  unto  me  : 
and  when  I  waited  for  light,  there  came  darkness. 

27  My  bowels  boiled,  and  rested  not :  the  days  of 
affliction  prevented  me. 

28  'I  went  mourning  without  the  sun :  I  stood  up,  and 

I  cried  in  the  congregation. 

29  *I  am  a  brother  to  dragons,  and  a  companion  to 

II  owls. 

30  'My  skin  is  black  upon  me,  and  "my  bones  are 
burned  with  heat. 


24  'If  I  laughed  on  them,  they  'believed  it  not ; 

And  the  light  of  my  countenance  they  cast  not  down. 
25 1  chose  out  their  way,  and  sat  as  chief. 

And  dwelt  as  a  king  in  the  army, 
£)/\  As  one  that  comforteth  the  mourners. 
OU  But  now  they  that  are  younger  than  I  have  me  in  derision , 

Whose  fathers  I  disdained  to  set  with  the  dogs  of  my  flock. 

2  Yea, the  strength  of  their  hands,  whereto  should  it  profit  meV 
Men  in  whom  ^ripe  age  is  perished. 

3  They  are  gaunt  with  want  and  famine ;  [desolation. 
*They  gnaw  the  dry  ground,  ^in  the  gloom  of  wasteness  and 

4 They  pluck  salt-wort  by  the  bushes; 
And  the  roots  of  the  broom  are  Hheir  meat. 

5  They  are  driven  forth  from  the  midst  of  men  ; 
They  cry  after  them  as  after  a  thief. 

6  ^In  the  clefts  of  the  valleys  must  they  dwell, 
In  holes  of  the  earth  and  of  the  rocks. 

7  Among  the  bushes  they  bray ; 

Under  the  ^nettles  they  'are  gathered  together. 

8  They  are  children  of  fools,  yea,  children  of  '"base  men ; 
They  "were  scourged  out  of  the  land. 

9  And  now  I  am  become  their  song, 
Yea,  I  am  a  byword  unto  them. 

10  They  abhor  me,  they  stand  aloof  from  me, 
And  spare  not  to  spit  '*in  my  face. 

11  For  he  hath  loosed  '%is  cord,  and  afflicted  me, 
And  they  have  cast  ofi^  the  bridle  before  me. 

1 2  Upon  my  right  hand  rise  the  "rabble ; 
They  thrust  aside  my  feet. 

And  they  cast  up  against  me  their  ways  of  destruction. 

13  They  '^mar  my  path. 

They  set  forward  my  calamity, 
Even  men  that  have  no  helper. 
14'* As  through  a  wide  breach  they  come: 

In  the  midst  of  the  ruin  they  roll  themselves  upon  me. 

15  Terrors  are  turned  upon  me, 

"They  chase  "mine  honour  as  the  wind ; 
And  my  welfare  is  passed  away  as  a  cloud. 

16  And  now  my  soul  is  poured  out  "within  me; 
Days  of  affliction  have  taken  hold  upon  me. 

17  In  the  night  season  my  bones  are  ^"pierced  ^'in  me, 
And  ^^the  pains  that  gnaw  me  take  no  rest. 

18^By  the  great  force  of  my  disease  is  my  garment  disfigured : 
It  bindeth  me  about  as  the  collar  of  my  coat. 

19  He  hath  cast  me  into  the  mire. 

And  I  am  become  like  dust  and  ashes. 

20 1  cry  unto  thee,  and  thou  dost  not  answer  me : 
I  stand  up,  and  thou  lookest  at  me. 

21  Thou  art  turned  to  be  cruel  to  me : 

With  the  might  of  thy  hand  thou  persecutest  me.        [it ; 

22  Thou  lifitest  me  up  to  the  wind,  thou  causest  me  to  ride  upon 
And  thou  dissolvest  me  in  the  storm.

And  to  ^*the  house  appointed  for  all  living.

Though  it  be  in  his  destruction,  one  may  vMer  a  cry  because 

of  these  things. 

25  Did  not  I  weep  for  him  that  was  in  trouble  ? 
Was  not  my  soul  grieved  for  the  needy  ?

Days  of  affliction  are  come  upon  me. 

28 1  go  ^mourning  without  the  sun  : 

I  stand  up  in  the  assembly,  and  cry  for  help. 

29  I  am  a  brother  to  jackals.

31  My  harp  also  is  turned  to  mourning,  and  my  organ 
into  the  voice  of  them  that  weep, 

CHAF"rER  XXXI. 

yod  maketh  a  solemn  protestation  of  his  integrity. 

I  MADE  a  covenant   with    mine  "eyes;   why   then 
should  I  think  upon  a  maid  ? 

2  For  what  'portion  of  God  is  there  from  above  ?  and 
what  inheritance  of  the  Almighty  from  on  high  ? 

3  is  not  destruction  to  the  wicked?  and  a  strange 
punishment  to  the  workers  of  iniquity  ? 

4  'Doth  not  he  see  my  ways,  and  count  all  my  steps? 

5  If  I  have  walked  with  vanity,  or  if  my  foot  hath 
hasted  to  deceit; 

6  fLet  me  be  weighed  in  an  even  balance,  that  God 
may  know  mine  integrity. 

7  If  my  step  hath  turned  out  of  the  way,  and  ''mine 
heart  walked  after  mine  eyes,  and  if  any  blot  hath 
cleaved  to  my  hands ; 

8  Then  'let  me  sow,  and  let  another  eat ;  yea,  let  my 
offspring  be  rooted  out. 

9  If  mine  heart  have  been  deceived  by  a  woman,  or  if 
I  have  laid  wait  at  my  neighbour's  door ; 

10  Then  let  my  wife  grind  unto  ■'another,  and  let  others 
bow  down  upon  her. 

11  For  this  is  a  heinous  crime;  yea,  'it  is  an  iniquity 
to  be  punished  by  the  judges. 

12  For  it  is  a  fire  that  consumeth  to  destruction,  and 
would  root  out  all  mine  increase. 

13  If  I  did  despise  the  cause  of  my  manservant  or  of 
my  maidservant,  when  they  contended  with  me ; 

14  What  then  shall  I  do  when  ''God  riseth  up  ?  and 
when  he  visiteth,  what  shall  I  answer  him  ? 

15  "Did  not  he  that  made  me  in  the  womb  make  him? 
and  II  did  not  one  fashion  us  in  the  womb  ? 

16  If  I  have  withheld  the  poor  from  their  desire,  or 
have  caused  the  eyes  of  the  widow  to  fail ; 

17  Or  have  eaten  my  morsel  myself  alone,  and  the 
fatherless  hath  not  eaten  thereof; 

18  (For  from  my  youth  he  was  brought  up  with  me,  as 
with  a  father,  and  I  have  guided  ||  her  from  my  mother's 
womb ;) 

19  If  I  have  seen  any  perish  for  want  of  clothing,  or 
any  poor  without  covering ; 

20  If  his  loins  have  not  *blessed  me,  and  if  he  were 
not  warmed  with  the  fleece  of  my  sheep ; 

21  If  I  have  lifted  up  my  hand 'against  the  fatherless, 
when  I  saw  my  help  in  the  gate : 

22  Then  let  mine  arm  fall  from  my  shoulder  blade, 
and  mine  arm  be  broken  from  ||  the  bone. 

23  For  "destruction  from  God  was  a  terror  to  me,  and 
by  reason  of  his  highness  I  could  not  endure. 

24  "If  I  have  made  gold  my  hope,  or  have  said  to  the 
fine  gold,  Thou  art  my  confidence ; 

25  °If  I  rejoiced  because  my  wealth  was  great,  and 
because  mine  hand  had  fgotten  much ; 

26  "If  I  beheld  fthe  sun  when  it  shined,  or  the  moon 
walking  fin  brightness ; 

27  And  my  heart  hath  been  secretly  enticed,  or  fmy 
mouth  hath  kissed  my  hand  : 

28  This  also  were  'an  iniquity  to  be  punished  by  the 
judge :  for  I  should  have  denied  the  God  that  is  above. 

29  'If  I  rdoiced  at  the  destruction  of  him  that  hated 
me,  or  lifted  up  myself  when  evil  found  him ; 

30  ('Neither  have  I  suffered  ^lay  mouth  to  sin  by 
wishing  a  curse  to  his  soul.) 

31  If  the  men  of  my  tabernacle  said  not.  Oh  that  we 
had  of  his  flesh !  we  cannot  be  satisfied. 

32  'The  stranger  did  not  lodge  in  the  street:  but  I 
opened  my  doors  ||to  the  traveller. 


31  Therefore  is  my  harp  turned  to  mourning. 
And  my  pipe  into  the  voice  of  them  that  weep. 

^ll  made  a  covenant  with  mine  eyes ; 
How  then  should  I  look  upon  a  maid? 

2  'For  what  is  the  portion  of  God  from  above. 
And  the  heritage  of  the  Almighty  from  on  high  ? 

3  Is  it  not  calamity  to  the  unrighteous. 
And  disaster  to  the  workers  of  iniquity  ? 

4  Doth  not  he  see  my  ways. 
And  number  all  my  steps ! 

5  If  I  have  walked  with  vanity. 
And  my  foot  hath  hasted  to  deceit ; 

6  (Let  me  be  weighed  in  an  even  balance, 
That  God  may  know  mine  integrity ;) 

7  If  my  step  hath  turned  out  of  the  way. 
And  mine  heart  walked  after  mine  eyes. 
And  if  any  spot  hath  cleaved  to  mine  hands : 

8  Then  let  me  sow,  and  let  another  eat ; 

Yea,  let  ^the  produce  of  my  field  be  rooted  out. 

9  If  mine  heart  have  been  enticed  unto  a  woman. 
And  I  have  laid  wait  at  my  neighbor's  door: 

10  Then  let  my  wife  grind  unto  another. 
And  let  others  bow  down  upon  her. 

11  For  that  were  an  heinous  crime ; 

Yea,  it  were  an  iniquity  to  be  punished  by  the  judges : 

12  For  it  is  a  fire  that  consumeth  unto  'Destruction, 
And  would  root  out  all  mine  increase. 

13  If  I  did  despise  the  cause  of  my  manservant  or  of  my 

maidservant, 
When  they  contended  with  me: 

14  What  then  shall  I  do  when  God  riseth  up? 
And  when  he  visiteth,  what  shall  I  answer  him? 

15 Did  not  he  that  made  me  in  the  womb  make  him? 
And  did  not  one  fashion  us  in  the  womb  ? 

16  If  I  have  withheld  "the  poor  from  their  desire. 
Or  have  caused  the  eyes  of  the  widow  to  fail ; 

17  Or  have  eaten  my  morsel  alone. 

And  the  fatherless  hath  not  eaten  thereof; 

18  (Nay,  from  my  youth  he  grew  up  with  me  as  with  a  father, 
And  I  have  been  her  guide  from  my  mother's  womb ;) 

19  If  I  have  seen  any  perish  for  want  of  clothing. 
Or  that  the  needy  had  no  covering ; 

20  If  his  loins  have  not  blessed  me. 

And  if  he  were  not  warmed  with  the  fleece  of  my  sheep; 

21  If  I  have  lifted  up  my  hand  against  the  fatherless. 
Because  I  saw  my  help  in  the  gate : 

22  Then  let  my  shoulder  fall  from  the  shoulder  blade. 
And  mine  arm  be  broken  from  the  bone. 

23  For  calamity  from  God  was  a  terror  to  me, 

And  by  reason  of  his  excellency  I  could  do  nothing. 

24  If  I  have  made  gold  my  hope. 

And  have  said  to  the  fine  gold,  Thou  art  my  confidence ; 

25  If  I  rejoiced  because  my  wealth  was  great, 
And  becau.se  mine  hand  had  gotten  much ; 

26  If  I  beheld  "the  sun  when  it  shined. 
Or  the  moon  walking  in  brightness ; 

27  And  my  heart  hath  been  secretly  enticed. 
And  *my  mouth  hath  kissed  my  hand : 

28  This  also  were  an  iniquity  to  be  punished  by  the  judges : 
For  I  should  have  Hied  to  God  that  is  above. 

29  If  I  rejoiced  at  the  destruction  of  him  that  hated  me. 
Or  lifted  up  myself  when  evil  found  him ; 

30  (Yea,  I  suffered  not  ray  'mouth  to  sin 
By  asking  his  life  with  a  curse ;) 

31  If  the  men  of  my  tent  said  not, 

'Who  can  find  one  that  hath  not  been  satisfied  with  his  flesh?

40  Let  "thistles  grow  instead  of  wheat,  and  ||  cockle 
instead  of  barley.     The  words  of  Job  are  ended. 

CHAPTER   XXXII. 

Elihu  is  angry  with  Job  cmd  his  three  friends. 

SO  these  three  men  ceased  fto  answer  Job,  because 
he  was  "righteous  in  his  own  eyes. 

2  Then  was  kindled  the  wrath  of  E-li'hu  the  son  of 
Bar'a-chel  Hhe  Buz'ite,  of  the  kindred  of  Ram :  against 
Job  was  his  wrath  kindled,  because  he  justified  fhimself 
rather  than  God. 

3  Also  against  his  three  friends  was  his  wrath  kindled, 
because  they  had  found  no  answer,  and  yet  had  con- 
demned Job. 

4  Now  E-li'hu  had  f  waited  till  Job  had  spoken,  because 
they  were  felder  than  he. 

5  When  E-li'hu  saw  that  there  was  no  answer  in  the 
mouth  of  these  three  men,  then  his  wrath  was  kindled. 

6  And  E-li'hu  the  son  of  Bar'a-chel  the  Buz'ite  answered 
and  said,  I  am  f young,  ""and  ye  are  very  old ;  wherefore 
I  was  afraid,  and  fdurst  not  shew  you  mine  opinion. 

7  I  said.  Days  should  speak,  and  multitude  of  years 
should  teach  wisdom. 

8  But  there  is  a  spirit  in  man :  and  ''the  inspiration  of 
the  Almighty  giveth  them  understanding. 

9  'Great  men  are  not  always  wise :  neither  do  the  aged 
understand  judgment. 

10  Therefore  I  said.  Hearken  to  me;  I  also  will  shew 
mine  opinion. 

11  Behold,  I  waited  for  your  words;  I  gave  ear  to  your 
treasons,  whilst  ye  searched  out  fwhat  to  say. 

1 2  Yea,  I  attended  unto  you,  and,  behold,  there  was  none 
of  you  that  convinced  Job,  or  that  answered  his  words : 

13  ■'^Lest  ye  should  say.  We  have  found  out  wisdom: 
God  thrusteth  him  down,  not  man. 

14  Now  he  hath  not  ||  directed  his  words  against  me: 
neither  will  I  answer  him  with  your  speeches. 

15  They  were  amazed,  they  answered  no  more :  fthey 
left  oif  speaking. 

16  When  I  had  waited,  (for  they  spake  not,  but  stood 
still,  and  answered  no  more,) 

17  7  said,  I  will  answer  also  my  part,  I  also  will  shew 
mine  opinion. 

18  For  lam  full  of  fmatter;  fthe  spirit  within  me 
constraineth  me. 

19  Behold,  my  belly  is  as  wine  which  fhath  no  vent; 
it  is  ready  to  burst  like  new  bottles. 

20  I  will  speak,  fthat  I  may  be  refreshed :  I  will  open 
my  lips  and  answer. 

21  Let  me  not,  I  pray  you,  "accept  any  man's  person ; 
neither  let  me  give  flattering  titles  unto  man. 

22  For  I  know  not  to  give  flattering  titles ;  in  so  doing 
my  Maker  would  soon  take  me  away. 


33  If  'like  Ad'am  I  covered  my  transgressions, 
By  hiding  mine  iniquity  in  my  bosom ; 

34  Because  I  feared  the  great  multitude. 
And  the  contempt  of  families  terrified  me. 
So  that  I  kept  silence,  and  went  not  out  of  the  door — 

35 Oh  that  I  had  one  to  hear  me! 

(Lo,  here  is  my  ^signature,  let  the  Almighty  answer  me;) 

And  that  I  had  the  'indictment  which  mine  adversary 

hath  written ! 

36  Surely  I  would  carry  it  upon  my  shoulder; 
I  would  bind  it  unto  me  as  a  crown. 

37  I  would  declare  unto  him  the  number  of  my  steps; 
As  a  prince  would  I  ''go  near  unto  him. 

38  If  my  land  cry  out  against  me. 
And  the  furrows  thereof  weep  together ; 

39  If  I  have  eaten  the  'fruits  thereof  without  money. 
Or  have  caused  the  owners  thereof  to  lose  their  life 

40  Let '  thistles  grow  instead  of  wheat, 
And  'cockle  instead  of  barley. 

The  words  of  Job  are  ended. 

OA    So  these  three  men  ceased  to  answer  Job,  because  he 

2  was  righteous  in  his  own  eyes.  Then  was  kindled  the 
wrath  of  E-li'hu  the  son  of  Bar'a-chel  the  Buz'ite,  of  the 
family  of  Ram :  against  Job  was  his  wrath  kindled,  be 

3  cause  he  justified  himself  rather  than  God.  Also  against 
his  three  friends  was  his  wrath  kindled,  because  they  had 

4  found  no  answer,  and  yet  had  condemned  Job.  Now  E-li'hu 
had  'waited  to  speak  unto  Job,  because  they  were  elder 

5  than  he.  And  when  E-li'hu  saw  that  there  was  no  answer 
in  the  mouth  of  these  three  men,  his  wrath  was  kindled 

6  And  E-li'hu  the  son  of  Bar'a-chel  the  Buz'ite  answered 
and  said, 

I  am  young,  and  ye  are  very  old ;  [opinion 

Wherefore  I  held  back,  and  durst  not  shew  you  mine 
7 1  said.  Days  should  speak. 
And  multitude  of  years  should  teach  wisdom. 

8  But  there  is  a  spirit  in  man,  [ing 
And  the  breath  of  the  Almighty  giveth  them  understand- 

9  It  is  not  the  great  that  are  wise. 

Nor  the  aged  that  understand  judgement. 

10  Therefore  I  'said.  Hearken  to  mej 
I  also  will  shew  mine  opinion. 

11  Behold,  I  waited  for  your  words, 
I  listened  for  your  reasons, 
W^hilst  ye  searched  out  what  to  say. 

12  Yea,  I  attended  unto  you. 

And,  behold,  there  was  none  that  convinced  Job, 

Or  that  answered  his  words,  among  you. 
13 '"Beware  lest  ye  say,  We  have  found  wisdom; 

God  may  vanquish  him,  not  man : 
14 For  he  hath  not  directed  his  words  against  me; 

Neither  will  I  answer  him  with  your  speeches. 
15 They  are  amazed,  they  answer  no  more: 

They  have  not  a  word  to  say. 
16  And  shall  I  wait,  because  they  speak  not. 

Because  they  stand  still,  and  answer  no  more? 
171  also  will  answer  my  part, 

I  also  will  shew  mine  opinion. 
18 For  I  am  full  of  words; 

The  spirit  "within  me  constraineth  me. 
19 Behold,  my  belly  is  as  wine  which  hath  no  vent; 

Like  new  '-bottles  ''it  is  ready  to  burst. 
20 1  will  speak  that  I  may  '*be  refreshed ; 

I  will  open  my  lips  and  answer. 

21  Let  me  not,  I  pray  you,  respect  any  man's  person; 
Neither  will  I  give  flattering  titles  unto  any  man. 

22  For  I  know  not  to  give  flattering  titles ; 
Else  would  my  Maker  soon  take  me  away.

CHAFTER     XXXIII. 

Elthit  offereth  himself,  instead  of  God,  to  reason  with  Job. 

WHEEEFORE,  Job,  I  pray  thee,  hear  my  speeches, 
and  hearken  to  all  my  words. 

2  Behold,  now  I  have  opened  my  mouth,  my  tongue 
hath  spoken  fin  my  mouth. 

3  My  words  shall  be  of  the  uprightness  of  my  heart : 
and  my  lips  shall  utter  knowledge  clearly. 

4  "The  Spirit  of  God  hath  made  me,  and  the  breath 
of  the  Almighty  hath  given  me  life. 

5  If  thou  canst  answer  me,  set  thy  words  in  order 
before  me,  stand  up. 

6  ''Behold,  I  am  faccording  to  thy  wish  in  God's 
stead :  I  also  am  fformed  out  of  the  clay. 

7  "Behold,  my  terror  shall  not  make  thee  afraid,  neither 
shall  my  hand  be  heavy  upon  thee. 

8  Surely  thou  hast  spoken  fin  mine  hearing,  and  I 
have  heard  the  voice  oi  thy  words,  saying, 

9  ''I  am  clean  without  transgression,  I  am  innocent; 
neither  is  there  iniquity  in  me. 

10  Behold,  he  findeth  occasions  against  me,  'he 
counteth  me  for  his  enemy ; 

11  ■'^He  putteth  my  feet  in  the  stocks,  he  marketh  all 
my  paths. 

12  Behold,  in  this  thou  art  not  just:  I  will  answer 
thee,  that  God  is  greater  than  man. 

13  Why  dost  thou  "strive  against  him?  for  fhe  giveth 
not  account  of  any  of  his  matters. 

14  *For  God  speaketh  once,  yea  twice,  yet  man  per- 
ceiveth  it  not. 

15  'In  a  dream,  in  a  vision  of  the  night,  when  deep 
sleep  falleth  upon  men,  in  slumberings  upon  the  bed ; 

16  *Then  fhe  openeth  the  ears  of  men,  and  sealeth 
their  instruction, 

17  That  he  may  withdraw  man  from  his  fpurpose,  and 
hide  pride  from  man. 

18  He  keepeth  back  his  soul  from  the  pit,  and  his  life 
ffrom  perishing  by  the  sword. 

19  He  is  chastened  also  with  pain  upon  his  bed,  and 
the  multitude  of  his  bones  with  strong  pain: 

20  'So  that  his  lifeabhorreth  bread,  and  his  soul  fdainty 
meat. 

21  His  flesh  is  consumed  away,  that  it  cannot  be  seen ; 
and  his  bones  that  were  not  seen  stick  out. 

22  Yea,  his  soul  draweth  near  unto  the  grave,  and  his 
life  to  the  destroyers. 

23  If  there  be  a  messenger  with  him,  an  interpreter, 
one  among  a  thousand,  to  shew  unto  man  his  up- 
rightness ; 

24  Then  he  is  gracious  unto  him,  and  saith.  Deliver  him 
from  going  down  to  the  pit:  I  have  found  ||a  ransom. 

25  His  flesh  shall  be  fresher  fthan  a  child's :  he  shall 
return  to  the  days  of  his  youth : 

26  He  shall  pray  unto  God,  and  he  will  be  favourable 
unto  him :  and  he  shall  see  his  face  with  joy :  for  he  will 
render  unto  man  his  righteousness. 

27  II  He  looketh  upon  men,  and  if  any  ""say,  I  have 
sinned,  and  perverted  thai  which  was  right,  and  it 
"profited  me  not; 

28  II  He  will  "deliver  his  soul  from  going  into  the  pit, 
and  his  life  shall  see  the  light. 

29  Lo,  all  these  things  worketh  God  foftentimes 
with  man, 

30  "To  bring  back  his  soul  from  the  pit,  to  be  enlight- 
ened with  the  light  of  the  living. 

31  Mark  well,  O  Job,  hearken  unto  me:  hold  thy 
peace,  and  I  will  speak. 

32  If  thou  hast  anything  to  say,  answer  me:  speak, 
for  I  desire  to  justify  thee. 


Howbeit,  Job,  I  pray  thee,  hear  my  speech, 
And  hearken  to  all  my  words, 
2  Behold  now,  I  have  opened  my  mouth, 
My  tongue  hath  spoken  in  my  'mouth. 
3 My  words  shall  utter  the  uprightness  of  my  heart; 
And  that  which  my  lips  know  they  shall  speak  sincerely 

4  The  spirit  of  God  hath  made  me. 

And  the  breath  of  the  Almighty  giveth  me  life. 

5  If  thou  canst,  answer  thou  me ; 

Set  thy  words  in  order  before  me,  stand  forth. 

6  Behold,  ^I  am  toward  God  even  as  thou  art ; 
I  also  am  formed  out  of  the  clay. 

7  Behold,  my  terror  shall  not  make  thee  afraid. 
Neither  shall  my  pressure  be  heavy  upon  thee. 

8  Surely  thou  hast  spoken  in  mine  hearing. 

And  I  have  heard  the  voice  of  thy  words,  saying, 
9 1  am  clean,  without  transgression  ; 
I  am  innocent,  neither  is  there  iniquity  in  me : 

10  Behold,  he  findeth  ^occasions  against  me, 
He  counteth  me  for  his  enemy; 

11  He  putteth  my  feet  in  the  stocks, 
He  marketh  all  my  paths. 

12*Behold,  I  will  answer  thee,  in  this  thou  art  not  just; 

For  God  is  greater  than  man. 
13 'Why  dost  thou  strive  against  him? 

For  he  giveth  not  account  of  any  of  his  matters. 

14  For  God  speaketh  *once. 

Yea  twice,  though  man  regardeth  it  not. 

15  In  a  dream,  in  a  vision  of  the  night, 
'    When  deep  sleep  falleth  upon  men, 

In  slumberings  upon  the  bed ; 

16  Then  he  'openeth  the  ears  of  men, 
And  sealeth  their  instruction, 

17*That  he  may  withdraw  man  from  his  purpose, 

And  hide  pride  from  man ; 
18 'He  keepeth  back  his  soul  from  the  pit, 

And  his  life  from  perishing  by  the  '"sword. 

19  He  is  chastened  also  with  pain  upon  his  bed, 
"And  with  continued  strife  in  his  bones : 

20  So  that  his  life  abhorreth  bread. 
And  his  soul  dainty  meat. 

21  His  flesh  is  consumed  away,  that  it  cannot  be  seen; 
And  his  bones  that  were  not  seen  stick  out. 

22  Yea,  his  soul  draweth  near  unto  the  pit. 
And  his  life  to  the  destroyers. 

23  If  there  be  with  him  '%n  angel. 

An  interpreter,  one  "among  a  thousand. 
To  shew  unto  man  "what  is  right  for  him ; 

24  Then  he  is  gracious  unto  him,  and  saith. 
Deliver  him  from  going  down  to  the  pit, 
I  have  found  a  ransom. 

25'*His  flesh  shall  be  fresher  than  a  child's; 
He  returneth  to  the  days  of  his  youth : 

26  He  prayeth  unto  God,  and  he  is  favourable  unto  him; 
So  that  he  seeth  his  face  with  joy : 

And  he  restoreth  unto  man  his  righteousness. 

27  "He  singeth  before  men,  and  saith, 

I  have  sinned,  and  perverted  that  which  was  right. 
And  "it  profited  me  not : 

28  He  hath  redeemed  my  soul  from  going  into  the  pit, 
And  my  life  shall  behold  the  light. 

29  Lo,  all  these  things  doth  God  work. 
Twice,  yea  thrice,  with  a  man, 

30  To  bring  back  his  soul  from  the  pit. 

That  he  may  be  enlightened  with  the  light  of  "the  living. 

31  Mark  well,  O  Job,  hearken  unto  me : 
Hold  thy  peace,  and  I  will  speak. 

32  If  thou  hast  anything  to  say,  answer  me : 
Speak,  for  I  desire  to  justify  thee.

CHAPTER   XXXIV. 

Elihu  accuseth  Job  for  charging  God  with  injustice,  and  reproveth  him. 

FURTHERMORE  E-li'hu  answered  and  said, 
2  Hear  my  words,  O  ye  wise  men;  and  give  ear 
unto  me,  ye  that  have  knowledge. 

3  "For  the  ear  trieth  words,  as  the  fmouth  tasteth  meat, 

4  Let  us  choose  to  us  judgment:  let  us  know  among 
ourselves  what  is  good. 

5  For  Job  hath  said,  'I  am  righteous :  and  "God  hath 
taken  away  my  judgment. 

6  ''Should  I  lie  against  my  right?  fmy  wound  is  in- 
curable without  transgression. 

7  What  man  is  like  Job,  'who  drinketh  up  scorning 
like  water? 

8  Which  goeth  in  company  with  the  workers  of  in- 
iquity, and  walketh  with  wicked  men. 

9  For  •'^he  hath  said.  It  profiteth  a  man  nothing  that 
he  should  delight  himself  with  God. 

10  Therefore  hearken  unto  me,  ye  f  men  of  understand- 
ing: "far  be  it  from  God,  that  he  should  do  wickedness; 
and  from  the  Almighty,  that  he  should  commit  iniquity. 

11  *For  the  work  of  a  man  shall  he  render  unto  him, 
and  cause  every  man  to  find  according  to  his  ways. 

12  Yea,  surely  God  will  not  do  wickedly,  neither  will 
the  Almighty  'pervert  judgment. 

13  Who  hath  given  him  a  charge  over  the  earth  ?  or 
who  hath  di.sposed  fthe  whole  world  ? 

14  If  he  set  his  heart  fupon  man,  if  he  ^gather  unto 
himself  his  spirit  and  his  breath ; 

15  'Ail  flesh  shall  perish  together,  and  man  shall  turn 
again  unto  dust. 

16  If  now  thou  hast  understanding,  hear  this :  hearken 
to  the  voice  of  my  words. 

17  "'Shall  even  he  that  hateth  right  fgovern?  and  wilt 
thou  condemn  him  that  is  most  just? 

18  "is  it  Jit  to  say  to  a  king.  Thou  art  wicked?  and  to 
princes.  Ye  are  ungodly  ? 

19  How  much  less  to  him  that  "accepteth  not  the  per- 
sons of  princes,  nor  regardeth  the  rich  more  than  the 
poor  ?  for  "they  all  are  the  work  of  his  hands. 

20  In  a  moment  shall  they  die,  and  the  people  shall 
be  troubled  'at  midnight,  and  pass  away :  and  fthe 
mighty  shall  be  taken  away  without  hand. 

21  ''For  his  eyes  are  upon  the  ways  of  man,  and  he 
seeth  all  his  goings. 

22  'There  is  no  darkness,  nor  shadow  of  death,  where 
the  workers  of  iniquity  may  hide  themselves. 

23  For  he  will  not  lay  upon  man  more  than  right; 
that  he  should  fenter  into  judgment  with  God. 

24  'He  shall  break  in  pieces  mighty  men  fwithout 
number,  and  set  others  in  their  stead. 

25  Therefore  he  knoweth  their  works,  and  he  over- 
turneth  them  in  the  night,  so  that  they  are  fdestroyed. 

26  He  striketh  them  as  wicked  men  fin  the  open  sight 
of  others ; 

27  Because  they  "turned  back  ffrom  him,  and  "'would 
not  consider  any  of  his  ways : 

28  So  that  they  "cause  the  cry  of  the  poor  to  come 
unto  him,  and  he  'heareth  the  cry  of  the  afflicted. 

29  When  he  giveth  quietness,  who  then  can  make 
trouble?  and  when  he  hideth  his  face,  who  then  can 
behold  him  ?  whether  it  be  done  against  a  nation,  or 
against  a  man  only  : 

30  That  the  hypocrite  reign  not,  lest  "^he  people  be 
ensnared. 

31  Surely  it  is  meet  to  be  said  unto  God,  *I  have  borne 
chastisement,  I  will  not  offend  any  more : 


33  If  not,  hearken  thou  unto  me : 

Hold  thy  peace,  and  I  will  teach  thee  wisdom. 

O^  Moreover  E-li'hu  answered  and  said, 
2  Hear  my  words,  ye  wise  men ; 
And  give  ear  unto  me,  ye  that  have  knowledge. 
J    3  For  the  ear  trieth  words. 
As  the  palate  tasteth  meat. 

4  Let  us  choose  for  us  that  which  is  right : 
Let  us  know  among  ourselves  what  is  good. 

5  For  Job  hath  said,  I  am  righteous, 
And  God  hath  taken  away  my  right : 

6  'Nothwithstanding  my  right  I  am  accounted  a  liar; 
^My  wound  is  incurable,  though  lam  without  transgression. 

7  what  man  is  like  Job, 
Who  drinketh  up  scorning  like  water? 

8  Which  goeth  «Q  company  with  the  workers  of  iniquity, 
And  walketh  with  wicked  men. 

9  For  he  hath  said.  It  profiteth  a  man  nothing 
That  he  should  'delight  himself  with  God. 

10 Therefore  hearken  unto  me,  ye  men  of  understanding: 
Far  be  it  from  God,  that  he  should  do  wickedness ; 
And  from  the  Almighty,  that  he  should  commit  iniquity 

11  For  the  work  of  a  man  shall  he  render  unto  him. 
And  cause  every  man  to  find  according  to  his  ways. 

12  Yea,  of  a  surety,  God  will  not  do  wickedly. 
Neither  will  the  Almighty  pervert  judgement. 

13  Who  gave  him  a  charge  over  the  earth  ? 
Or  who  hath  ^disposed  the  whole  world  ? 

14 'If  he  set  his  heart  'upon  ^man. 

If  he  gather  unto  himself  his  spirit  and  his  breath; 
15  All  flesh  shall  perish  together, 

And  man  shall  turn  again  unto  dust. 
16 "If  now  thou  hast  understanding,  hear  this: 

Hearken  to  the  voice  of  my  words. 
17  Shall  even  one  that  hateth  right  govern? 

And  wilt  thou  condemn  him  that  is  just  and  mighty? 
18 'Is  it  fit  to  say  to  a  king,  Thou  art  vile? 

Or  to  nobles.  Ye  are  wicked  ?  [princes, 

19  How  much  less  to  him  that  respecteth  not  the  persons  of 

Nor  regardeth  the  rich  more  than  the  poor? 

For  they  all  are  the  work  of  his  hands. 
20 In  a  moment  they  die,  '"even  at  midnight; 

The  people  are  shaken  and  pass  away. 

And  the  mighty  are  taken  away  without  hand. 

21  For  his  eyes  are  upon  the  ways  of  a  man. 
And  he  seeth  all  his  goings. 

22  There  is  no  darkness,  nor  shadow  of  death. 
Where  the  workers  of  iniquity  may  hide  themselves. 

23  For  he  needeth  not  further  to  consider  a  man, 
That  he  should  go  before  God  in  judgement. 

24  He  breaketh  in  pieces  mighty  men  "in  ways  past  finding  out. 
And  setteth  others  in  their  stead. 

25  Therefore  he  taketh  knowledge  of  their  works ; 

And  he  overturneth  them  in  the  night,  so  that  they  are 
'Mestroyed. 

26  He  striketh  them  as  wicked  men 
''In  the  open  sight  of  others ; 

27  Because  they  turned  aside  from  following  him, 
And  would  not  have  regard  to  any  of  his  ways: 

28  '■'So  that  they  caused  the  cry  of  the  poor  to  come  unto  him. 
And  he  heard  the  cry  of  the  afflicted. 

29  When  he  giveth  quietness,  who  then  can  condemn  ? 
And  when  he  hideth  his  face,  who  then  can  behold  him  ? 
Whether  it  be  done  unto  a  nation,  or  unto  a  man,  alike : 

30  That  the  godless  man  reign  not. 

That  there  be  none  to  ensnare  the  people. 

31  For  hath  any  said  unto  God, 

I  have  borne  chastisement,  "I  will  not  offend  any  more:

32  That  which  I  see  not,  teach  thou  me :  if  I  have  done 
iniquity,  I  will  do  no  more. 

33  f  Should  it  be  according  to  thy  mind  ?  he  will  rec- 
ompense it,  whether  thou  refuse,  or  whether  thou 
choose ;  and  not  I :  therefore  speak  what  thou  knowest. 

34  Let  men  fof  understanding  tell  me,  and  let  a  wise 
man  hearken  unto  me. 

35  "Job  hath  spoken  without  knowledge,  and  his  words 
were  without  wisdom. 

36  II  My  desire  is  that  Job  may  be  tried  unto  the  end, 
because  of  his  answers  for  wicked  men. 

37  For  he  addeth  rebellion  unto  his  sin,  he  clappeth  his 
hands  among  us,  and  multiplieth  his  words  against  God. 

CHAPTKR    XXXV. 

Comparison  is  not  to  be  made  with  God. 

E-LI'HU  spake  moreover,  and  said, 
2  Thinkest  thou  this  to  be  right,  <AaJ»thou  saidst, 
My  righteousness  is  more  than  God's? 

3  For  "thou  saidst.  What  advantage  will  it  be  unto 
thee?  and.  What  profit  shall  I  have  \^ij  1  he  cleansed 
from  my  sin  ? 

4  fl  will  answer  thee,  and  'thy  companions  with  thee. 

5  ""Look  unto  the  heavens,  and  see;  and  behold  the 
clouds  which  are  higher  than  thou. 

6  If  thou  sinnest,  what  doest  thou ''against  him?  or  {/"thy 
transgressions  be  multiplied,  what  doest  thou  unto  him  ? 

7  'If  thou  be  righteous,  what  givest  thou  him  ?  or  what 
receiveth  he  of  thine  hand? 

8  Thy  wickedness  may  hurt  a  man  as  thou  art;  and 
thy  righteousness  may  profit  the  son  of  man. 

9  •'^By  reason  of  the  multitude  of  oppressions  they  make 
the  oppressed  to  cry :  they  cry  out  by  reason  of  the  arm 
of  the  mighty. 

10  But  none  saith,  "Where  is  God  my  maker,  ''who 
giveth  songs  in  the  night; 

1 1  Who  'teacheth  us  more  than  the  beasts  of  the  earth, 
aud  maketh  us  wiser  than  the  fowls  of  heaven  ? 

12  *There  they  cry,  but  none  giveth  answer,  because 
of  the  pride  of  evil  men. 

13  'Surely  God  will  not  hear  vanity,  neither  will  the 
Almighty  regard  it. 

14  ""Although  thou  sayest  thou  shalt  not  see  him,  yet 
judgment  is  before  him;  therefore  "trust  thou  in  him. 

15  But  now,  because  it  is  not  so,  \\  he  hath  "visited  in  his 
anger;  yet  ||he  knoweth  it  not  in  great  extremity: 

16  'Therefore  doth  Job  open  his  mouth  in  vain ;  he 
multiplieth  words  without  knowledge. 

CHAPTER    XXXVI. 

Elihu  sheweth  how  God  is  just  in  his  ways. 

E-LI'HU  also  proceeded  and  said, 
2  Suffer  me  a  little,  and  I  will  shew  thee  fthat  I 
have  yet  to  speak  on  God's  behalf. 

3  I  will  fetch  my  knowledge  from  a&r,  and  will  ascribe 
righteousness  to  my  Maker. 

4  For  truly  my  words  shall  not  be  false :  he  that  is 
[perfect  in  knowledge  is  with  thee. 

'   5  Behold,  God  is  mighty,  and  despiseth  not  any:  'he 
is  mighty  in  strength  and  fwisdom. 

6  He  preserveth  not  the  life  of  the  wicked :  but  giveth 
right  to  the  ||  poor. 

7  ""He  withdraweth  not  his  eyes  from  the  righteous: 
but  "with  kings  are  they  on  the  throne;  yea,  he  doth 
establish  them  for  ever,  and  they  are  exalted. 

8  And  ''if  they  be  bound  in  fetters,  and  be  holden  in 
cords  of  affliction ; 

9  Then  he  sheweth  them  their  work,  and  their  trans- 
gressions that  they  have  exceeded. 

10  'He  openeth  also  their  ear  to  discipline,  and  com- 
mandeth  that  they  return  from  iniquity. 


32  That  which  I  see  not  teach  thou  me : 
If  I  have  done  iniquity,  I  will  do  it  no  more  ? 

33  Shall  his  recompence  be  as  thou  wilt,  that  thou  refusest  it  ? 
For  thou  must  choose,  and  not  I: 

Therefore  speak  what  thou  knowest. 

34  Men  of  understanding  will  say  unto  me. 
Yea,  every  wise  man  that  heareth  me: 

35  Job  speaketh  without  knowledge, 
And  his  words  are  without  wisdom. 

36  Would  that  Job  were  tried  unto  the  end, 
Because  of  his  answering  like  wicked  men. 

37  For  he  addeth  rebellion  unto  his  sin, 
He  clappeth  his  hands  among  us, 
And  multiplieth  his  words  against  God. 

OO   Moreover  E-li'hu  answered  and  said, 

2  Thinkest  thou  this  to  be  thy  right. 

Or  sayest  thou.  My  righteousness  is  more  than  God's, 

3  That  thou  sayest.  What  advantage  will  it  be  unto  thee? 
And,  What  profit  shall  I  have,  more  than  if  I  had  sinned  ? 

4 1  will  answer  thee. 
And  thy  companions  with  thee. 

5  Look  unto  the  heavens,  and  see ; 

And  behold  the  skies,  which  are  higher  than  thou. 

6  If  thou  hast  sinned,  what  doest  thou  against  him? 
And  if  thy  transgressions  be  multiplied,  what  doest  thou 

unto  him? 

7  If  thou  be  righteous,  what  givest  thou  him  ? 
Or  what  receiveth  he  of  thine  hand? 

8  Thy  wickedness  may  hurt  a  man  as  thou  art ; 
And  thy  righteousness  may  profit  a  son  of  man. 

9  By  reason  of  the  multitude  of  oppressions  they  cry  out ; 
They  cry  for  help  by  reason  of  the  arm  of  the  mighty, 

10  But  none  saith.  Where  is  God  my  Maker, 
Who  giveth  songs  in  the  night; 

11  Who  teacheth  us  more  than  the  beasts  of  the  earth, 
And  maketh  us  wiser  than  the  fowls  of  heaven  ? 

12  There  they  cry,  'but  none  giv^eth  answer. 
Because  of  the  pride  of  evil  men. 

13  Surely  God  will  not  hear  vanity. 
Neither  will  the  Almighty  regard  it. 

14  How  much  less  when  thou  sayest  ^thou  beholdest  him  not. 
The  cause  is  before  him,  and  thou  waitest  for  him ! 

15  But  now,  because  he  hath  not  visited  in  his  anger, 
'Neither  doth  he  greatly  regard  arrogance; 

16 Therefore  doth  Job  open  his  mouth  in  vanity; 
He  multiplieth  words  without  knowledge, 

^v    E-li'hu  also  proceeded,  and  said, 
2  ^Suffer  me  a  little,  and  I  will  shew  thee ; 

For  "I  have  yet  somewhat  to  say  on  God's  behalf. 
3 1  will  fetch  my  knowledge  from  afar. 

And  will  ascribe  righteousness  to  my  Maker. 

4  For  truly  my  words  are  not  false : 
One  that  is  perfect  in  knowledge  is  with  thee. 

5  Behold,  God  is  mighty,  and  despiseth  not  any : 
He  is  mighty  in  strength  of  "understanding. 

6  He  preserveth  not  the  life  of  the  wicked : 
But  giveth  to  the  afflicted  their  right. 

7  He  withdraweth  not  his  eyes  from  the  righteous : 
But  with  kings  upon  the  throne 

He  setteth  them  for  ever,  and  they  are  exalted. 

8  And  if  they  be  bound  in  fetters,

And  commaudeth  that  they  return  from  iniquity.

11  If  they  obey  and  serve  Mm,  they  shall  ^spend  their 
days  in  prosperity,  and  their  years  in  pleasures. 

12  But  if  they  obey  not,  fthey  shall  perish  by  the 
sword,  and  they  shall  die  without  knowledge. 

13  But  the  hypocrites  in  heart  "heap  up  wrath  :  they 
cry  not  when  he  bindeth  them. 

14  ''tThey  die  in  youth,  and  their  life  is  among  the 
II  unclean. 

15  He  delivereth  the  ||  poor  in  his  affliction,  and  open- 
eth  their  ears  in  oppression. 

16  Even  so  would  he  have  removed  thee  out  of  the 
strait  Hnto  a  broad  place,  where  there  is  no  straitness ; 
and  t'that  which  should  be  set  on  thy  table  should  be 
full  of  'fatness. 

17  But  thou  hast  fulfilled  the  judgment  of  the  wicked ; 
II  judgment  and  justice  take  hold  on  thee. 

18  Because  there  is  wrath,  beware  lest  he  take  thee 
away  with  his  stroke :  then  "a  great  ransom  cannot  fde- 
liver  thee. 

19  "Will  he  esteem  thy  riches?  no,  not  gold,  nor  all 
the  forces  of  strength. 

20  Desire  not  the  night,  when  people  are  cut  off  in 
their  place. 

21  Take  heed,  "regard  not  iniquity :  for  "this  hast  thou 
chosen  rather  than  affliction. 

22  Behold,  God  exalteth  by  his  power :  'who  teacheth 
like  him? 

23  'Who  hath  enjoined  him  his  way?  or  'who  can  say. 
Thou  hast  wrought  iniquity  ? 

24  Remember  that  thou  'magnify  his  work,  which 
men  behold. 

25  Every  man  may  see  it ;  man  may  behold  it  afar  off. 

26  Behold,  God  is  great,  and  we  "know  him  not, "'neither 
can  the  number  of  his  years  be  searched  out. 

27  For  he  "maketh  small  the  drops  of  water :  they 
pour  down  rain  according  to  the  vapour  thereof; 

28  "Which  the  clouds  do  drop  and  distil  upon  man 
abundantly. 

29  Also  can  any  understand  the  spreadings  of  the 
clouds,  or  the  noise  of  his  tabernacle  ? 

30  Behold,  he  "spreadeth  his  light  upon  it,  and  cov- 
ereth  fthe  bottom  of  the  sea. 

31  For 'by  them  judgeth  he  the  people;  he  "giveth 
meat  in  abundance. 

32  ''With  clouds  he  covereth  the  light ;  and  command- 
eth  it  not  to  shine  by  the  cloud  that  cometh  betwixt. 

33  'The  noise  thereof  sheweth  concerning  it,  the  cattle 
also  concerning  fthe  vapour. 

CHAF'TER  XXXVII. 

God  is  to  be  feared  because  of  his  great  works. 

AT  this  also  my  heart  trembleth,  and  is  moved  out 
of  his  place. 

2  fHear  attentively  the  noise  of  his  voice,  and  the 
sound  that  goeth  out  of  his  mouth. 

3  He  directeth  it  under  the  whole  heaven,  and  his 
flightning  unto  the  fends  of  the  earth. 

4  After  it  "a  voice  roareth ;  he  thundereth  with  the 
voice  of  his  excellency ;  and  he  will  not  stay  them 
when  his  voice  is  heard. 

5  God  thundereth  marvellously  with  his  voice;  'great 
things  doeth  he,  which  we  cannot  comprehend. 

6  For  "he  saith  to  the  snow.  Be  thou  on  the  earth ;  f  like- 
wise to  the  small  rain,  and  to  the  great  rain  of  his  strength. 

7  He  sealeth  up  the  hand  of  every  man ;  ''that  all  men 
may  know  his  work. 

8  Then  the  beasts  "go  into  dens,  and  remain  in  their 
places. 

9  f  Out  of  the  south  cometh  the  whirlwind :  and  cold 
out  of  the  f  north. 


11  If  they  hearken  and  serve  him, 

They  shall  spend  their  days  in  prosperity, 
And  their  years  in  'pleasures. 

12  But  if  they  hearken  not,  they  shall  perish  by  'the  sword. 
And  they  shall  die  without  knowledge. 

13  But  they  that  are  godless  in  heart  lay  up  anger : 
They  cry  not  for  help  when  he  bindeth  them. 

14 'They  die  in  youth. 

And  their  life  perisheth  ^among  the  "unclean. 

15  He  delivereth  the  afflicted  'by  his  affliction, 
And  openeth  their  ear  'in  oppression. 

16  Yea,  he  would  have  *led  thee  away  'out  of  distress 
Into  a  broad  place,  where  there  is  no  straitness ; 

And  that  which  is  set  on  thy  table  should  be  full  of  fatness. 
17 But  thou  '"art  full  of  the  judgement  of  the  wicked: 
Judgement  and  justice  take  hold  on  thee. 

18  '^Because  there  is  wrath,  beware  lest  thou  be  "led  away  by 

thy  sufficiency ; 
Neither  let  the  greatness  of  the  ransom  turn  thee  aside. 

19  "Will  thy  riches  suffice,  ^Hhat  thou  be  not  in  distress. 
Or,  all  the  forces  of  thy  strength  ? 

20  Desire  not  the  night. 

When  peoples  "are  cut  off  in  their  place. 

21  Take  heed,  regard  not  iniquity : 

For  this  hast  thou  chosen  rather  than  affliction. 

22  Behold,  God  doeth  loftily  in  his  power : 
Who  is  a  teacher  like  unto  him? 

23 Who  hath  enjoined  him  his  way? 

Or  who  can  say.  Thou  hast  wrought  unrighteousness? 

24  Remember  that  thou  magnify  his  work, 
Whereof  men  have  sung. 

25  All  men  have  looked  thereon ; 
Man  beholdeth  it  afar  off. 

26  Behold,  God  is  great,  and  we  know  him  not ; 
The  number  of  his  years  is  unsearchable. 

27  For  he  draweth  up  the  drops  of  water. 
Which  distil  in  rain  "from  ''his  vapour : 

28  Which  the  skies  pour  down 
And  drop  upon  man  abundantly. 

29  Yea,  can  any  understand  the  spreadings  of  the  clouds, 
The  thunderings  of  his  pavilion  ? 

30 Behold,  he  spreadeth  his  light  "around  him; 

And  he  "covereth  the  bottom  of  the  sea. 
31  For  by  these  he  judgeth  the  peoples; 

He  giveth  meat  in  abundance. 
32 He  covereth  his  hands  with  the  ^lightning; 

And  giveth  it  a  charge  ^'that  it  strike  the  mark. 
33  The  noise  thereof  telleth  concerning  ^^him. 

The  cattle  also  concerning  ^Hhe  storm  that  cometh  up. 
^'7  At  this  also  my  heart  trembleth. 
And  is  moved  out  of  its  place. 

2  Hearken  ye  unto  the  noise  of  his  voice. 
And  the  ^^sound  that  goeth  out  of  his  mouth. 

3  He  sendeth  it  forth  under  the  whole  heaven. 
And  his  ^'^lightning  unto  the  ^ends  of  the  earth. 

4  After  it  a  voice  roareth ; 

He  thundereth  with  the  voice  of  his  majesty : 
And  he  stayeth  them  not  when  his  voice  is  heard. 

5  God  thundereth  marvellously  with  his  voice ; 
Great  things  doeth  he,  which  we  cannot  comprehend. 

6  For  he  saith  to  the  snow.  Fall  thou  on  the  earth ; 
Likewise  to  the  shower  of  rain, 

And  to  the  showers  of  his  mighty  rain. 

7  He  sealeth  up  the  hand  of  every  man  ; 

That  all  men  whom  he  hath  made  may  know  it. 

8  Then  the  beasts  go  into  coverts, 
And  remain  in  their  dens. 

9  Out  of  ^'the  chamber  of  tlie  south  cometh  the  storm : 
And  cold  out  of  the  ^north.

breadth  of  the  waters  is  straitened. 

11  Also  by  watering  he  wearieth  the  thick  cloud 
scattereth  fhis  bright  cloud : 

12  And  it  is  turned  round  about  by  his  counsels:  that 
they  may  "do  whatsoever  he  commandeth  them  upon  the 
face  of  the  world  in  the  earth. 

13  *He  causeth  it  to  come,  whether  for  fcorrection, 
or  'for  his  land,  or  *for  mercy. 

14  Hearken  unto  this,  O  Job:  stand  still,  and  'con- 
sider the  wondrous  works  of  God. 

15  Dost  thou  know  when  God  disposed  them,  and 
caused  the  light  of  his  cloud  to  shine  ? 

16  ""Dost  thou  know  the  balancings  of  the  clouds,  the 
wondrous  works  of  "him  which  is  perfect  in  knowledge? 

17  How  thy  garments  are  warm,  when  he  quieteth  the 
earth  by  the  south  wind  f 

18  Hast  thou  with  him  "spread  out  the  sky,  whidh  is 
strong,  and  as  a  molten  lookingglass  ? 

19  Teach  us  what  we  shall  say  unto  him;  for  we  can- 
not order  our  speech  by  reason  of  darkness. 

20  Shall  it  be  told  him  that  I  speak  ?  if  a  man  speak, 
surely  he  shall  be  swallowed  up. 

21  And  now  men  see  not  the  bright  light  which  is  in 
the  clouds :  but  the  wind  passeth,  and  cleanseth  them. 

22  fFair  weather  cometh  out  of  the  north  :  with  God 
is  terrible  majesty. 

23  Touching  the  Almighty,  "we  cannot  find  him  out; 
"he  is  excellent  in  power,  and  in  judgment,  and  in 
plenty  of  justice :  he  will  not  aiBict. 

24  Men  do  therefore  ""fear  him :  he  respecteth  not  any 
that  are  'wise  of  heart. 

CHAPTER   XXXVIII. 

God,  by  his  mighty  works,  convinceth  Job  of  ignorance. 

THEN  the  Lord  answered  Job  "out  of  the  whirl- 
wind, and  said, 

2  ""Who  is  this  that  darkeneth  counsel  by  "words  with- 
out knowledge? 

3  "'Gird  up  now  thy  loins  like  a  man;  for  I  will  de- 
mand of  thee,  and  fanswer  thou  me. 

4  'Where  wast  thou  when  I  laid  the  foundations  of 
the  earth?  declare,  fif  thou  hast  understanding. 

5  Who  hath  laid  the  measures  thereof,  if  thou 
knowest?  or  who  hath  stretched  the  line  upon  it? 

6  Whereupon  are  the  ffoundations  thereof  ffastened? 
or  who  laid  the  corner  stone  thereof; 

7  When  the  morning  stars  sang  together,  and  all  ^the 
sons  of  God  shouted  for  joy? 

8  "Or  who  shut  up  the  sea  with  doors,  when  it  brake 
forth,  a«  i/"  it  had  issued  out  of  the  womb  ? 

9  When  I  made  the  cloud  the  garment  thereof,  and 
thick  darkness  a  swaddling  band  for  it, 

10  And  ll'brake  up  for  it  my  decreed  place,  and  set 
bars  and  doors, 

11  And  said,  Hitherto  shalt  thou  come,  but  no 
further:  and  here  shall  fthy  proud  waves  'be  stayed? 

12  Hast  thou  *commanded  the  morning  since  thy 
days;  and  caused  the  dayspring  to  know  his  place; 

13  That  it  might  take  hold  of  the  fends  of  the  earth, 
that  "the  wicked  might  be  shaken  out  of  it?     [garment. 

14  It  is  turned  as  clay  to  the  seal;  and  they  stand  as  a 

15  And  from  the  wicked  their  "light  is  withholden, 
and  "the  high  arm  shall  be  broken. 

16  Hast  thou  "entered  into  the  springs  of  the  sea?  or 
hast  thou  walked  in  the  search  of  the  depth  ? 

17  Have  "the  gates  of  death  been  opened  unto  thee? 
or  hast  thou  seen  the  doors  of  the  shadow  of  death  ? 

18  Hast  thou  perceived  the  breadth  of  the  earth?  de- 
clare if  thou  knowest  it  all. 


10  By  the  breath  of  God  ice  is  given : 

And  the  breadth  of  the  waters  is  'straitened. 

11  Yea,  he  ladeth  the  thick  cloud  with  moisture; 
He  spreadeth  abroad  the  cloud  of  his  ^lightning : 

12  And  it  is  turned  round  about  by  his  guidance. 
That  they  may  do  whatsoever  he  commandeth  them 
Upon  the  face  of  the  habitable  world: 

13  Whether  it  be  for  correction,  or  for  his  'land, 
Or  for  mercy,  that  he  cause  it  to  come. 

14  Hearken  unto  this,  O  Job : 

Stand  still,  and  consider  the  wondrous  works  of  God. 

15  Dost  thou  know  how  God  layeth  hi»  charge  upon  them. 
And  causeth  the  'lightning  of  his  cloud  to  shine? 

16  Dost  thou  know  the  balancings  of  the  clouds. 

The  wondrous  works  of  him  which  isperfect  in  knowledge? 

17  *How  thy  garments  are  warm, 

'When  the  earth  is  still  by  reason  of  the  south  windf 

18  Canst  thou  with  him  spread  out  the  sky, 
Which  is  strong  as  a  molten  mirror? 

19  Teach  us  what  we  shall  say  unto  him ; 

For  we  cannot  order  our  speech  by  reason  of  darkness. 
20 Shall  it  be  told  him  that  I  would  speak? 

"Or  should  a  man  wish  that  he  were  swallowed  up  ? 

21  And  now  men'see  not  the  light  which  is  bright  in  the  skies: 
But  the  wind  passeth,  and  cleanseth  them. 

22  Out  of  the  north  cometh  ^golden  splendour: 
God  hath  upon  him  terrible  majesty. 

23  Touching  the  Almighty,  we  cannot  find  him  out ;  he  is 

excellent  in  power : 
And  'in  judgement  and  plenteous  justice  he  will  not  afflict. 

24  Men  do  therefore  fear  him : 

He  regardeth  not  any  that  are  wise  of  heart. 

00    Then  the  Lord  answered  Job  out  of  the  whirlwind, 
and  said, 

2  Who  is  this  that  darkeneth  counsel 
By  words  without  knowledge  ? 

3  Gird  up  now  thy  loins  like  a  man ; 

For  I  will  demand  of  thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

4  Where  wast  thou  when  I  laid  the  foundations  of  the  earth  ? 
Declare,  '"if  thou  hast  understanding. 

5  Who  determined  the  measures  thereof,  "if  thou  knowest? 
Or  who  stretched  the  line  upon  it? 

6  Whereupon  were  the  '^foundations  thereof  "fastened? 
Or  who  laid  the  corner  stone  thereof; 

7  When  the  morning  stars  sang  together, 
And  all  the  sons  of  God  shouted  for  joy  ? 

8  Or  who  shut  up  the  sea  with  doors. 

When  it  brake  forth  '*as  if  it  had  issued  out  of  the  womb ; 

9  When  I  made  the  cloud  the  garment  thereof, 
And  thick  darkness  a  swaddlingband  for  it, 

10  And  '^prescribed  for  it  my  'decree. 
And  set  bars  and  doors, 

11  And  said.  Hitherto  shalt  thou  come,  but  no  further; 
And  here  shall  thy  proud  waves  be  stayed  ? 

12  Hast  thou  commanded  the  morning  since  thy  days  began, 
And  caused  the  dayspring  to  know  its  place ; 

13  That  it  might  take  hold  of  the  ends  of  the  earth, 
And  the  wicked  be  shaken  out  of  it  ? 

14  It  is  changed  as  clay  under  the  seal ; 
And  all  things  stand  forth  "as  a  garment : 

15  And  from  the  wicked  their  light  is  withholden, 
And  the  high  arm  is  broken. 

16  Hast  thou  entered  into  the  springs  of  the  sea? 

Or  hast  thou  walked  in  the  '*  recesses  of  the  deep  ? 

17  Have  the  gates  of  death  been  revealed  unto  thee? 
Or  hast  thou  seen  the  gates  of  the  shadow  of  death  ? 

18  Hast  thou  comprehended  the  breadth  of  the  earth  ? 
Declare,  if  thou  knowest  it  all.

3  They  bow  themselves,  they  bring  forth  their  young 
ones,  they  cast  out  their  sorrows. 

4  Their  young  ones  are  in  good  liking,  they  grow  up

21  Doubtless,  thou  knowest,  for  thou  wast  then  born,

1 1  Wilt  thou  trust  him,  because  his  strength  is  great  ? 
or  wilt  thou  leave  thy  labour  to  him  ? 

12  Wilt  thou  believe  him,  that  he  will  bring  home  thy 
seed,  and  gather  it  into  thy  barn  ? 

13  Gavest  thou  the  goodly  wings  unto  the  peacocks? 
or  II wings  and  feathers  unto  the  ostrich? 

14  Which  leaveth  her  eggs  in  the  earth,  and  warmeth 
them  in  the  dust, 

15  And  forgetteth  that  the  foot  may  crush  them,  or 
that  the  wild  beast  may  break  them. 

16  She  is  ''hardened  against  her  young  ones,  as  though 
they  were  not  hers :  her  labour  is  in  vain  without  fear ; 

17  Because  God  hath  deprived  her  of  wisdom,  neither 
hath  he  'imparted  to  her  understanding. 

18  What  time  she  lifteth  up  herself  on  high,  she 
scorneth  the  horse  and  his  rider. 

19  Hast  thou  given  the  horse  strength?  hast  thou 
clothed  his  neck  with  thunder  ? 

20  Canst  thou  make  him  afraid  as  a  grasshopper?  the 
glory  of  his  nostrils  fis  terrible. 

21  II  He  paweth  in  the  valley,  and  rejoiceth  in  his 
strength :  ■'he  goeth  on  to  meet  the  farmed  men. 

22  He  mocketh  at  fear,  and  is  not  affrighted ;  neither 
turneth  he  back  from  the  sword. 

23  The  quiver  rattleth  against  him,  the  glittering  spear 
and  the  shield. 

24  He  swalloweth  the  ground  with  fierceness  and  rage; 
neither  believeth  he  that  it  is  the  sound  of  the  trumpet. 

25  He  saith  among  the  trumpets.  Ha,  ha!  and  he 
smelleth  the  battle  afar  off,  the  thunder  of  the  captains, 
and  the  shouting. 

26  Doth  the  hawk  fly  by  thy  wisdom,  and  stretch  her 
wings  toward  the  south  ? 

27  Doth  the  eagle  mount  up  fat  thy  command,  and 
"make  her  nest  on  high  ? 

28  She  dwelleth  and  abideth  on  the  rock,  upon  the 
crag  of  the  rock,  and  the  strong  place. 

29  From  thence  she  seeketh  the  prey,  and  her  eyes 
behold  afar  off. 

30  Her  young  ones  also  suck  up  blood:  and  *where 
the  slain  are,  there  is  she. 

CHAPTKR  XL. 

Jod  humbUth  himself  to  God. 

MOREOVER  the  Lord  answered  Job,  and  said, 
2  Shall  he  that  "contendeth  with  the  Almighty  in- 
struct him  f  he  that  reproveth  God,  let  him  answer  it. 

3  ^Then  Job  answered  the  Lord,  and  said, 

4  'Behold,  I  am  vile ;  what  shall  I  answer  thee  ?  "I 
will  lay  mine  hand  upon  my  mouth. 

5  Once  have  I  spoken ;  but  I  will  not  answer :  yea, 
twice ;  but  I  will  proceed  no  further. 

6  ^''Then  answered  the  Lord  unto  Job  out  of  the 
whirlwind,  and  said, 

7  'Gird  up  thy  loins  now  like  a  man :  ^\  will  demand 
of  thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

8  'Wilt  thou  also  disannul  my  judgment?  wilt  thou 
condemn  me,  that  thou  mayest  be  righteous? 

9  Hast  thou  an  arm  like  God  ?  or  canst  thou  thunder 
with  ''a  voice  like  him  ? 

10  'Deck  thyself  now  with  majesty  and  excellency; 
and  array  thyself  with  glory  and  beauty. 

11  Cast  abroad  the  rage  of  thy  wrath:  and  behold 
every  one  thai  is  proud,  and  aba-se  him. 

12  Look  on  every  one  that  is  *proud,  and  bring  him 
low ;  and  tread  down  the  wicked  in  their  place. 

13  Hide  them  in  the  dust  together;  and  bind  their 
feces  in  secret. 

14  Then  will  I  also  confess  unto  thee  that  thine  own 
right  hand  can  save  thee. 


11  Wilt  thou  trust  him,  because  his  strength  is  great? 
Or  wilt  thou  leave  to  him  thy  labour? 

12  Wilt  thou  confide  in  him,  that  he  will  bring  home  thy  seed. 
And  gather  the  corn  of  thy  threshing-floor  ? 

13  The  wing  of  the  ostrich  rejoiceth; 
But  are  her  pinions  and  feathers  'kindly  ? 

14  For  she  leaveth  her  eggs  on  the  earth, 
And  warmeth  them  in  the  dust, 

15  And  forgetteth  that  the  foot  may  crush  them. 
Or  that  the  wild  beast  may  trample  them.        [not  hers : 

16  She  ''is  hardened  against  her  young  ones,  as  if  they  were 
Though  her  labour  be  in  vain,  she  is  without  fear; 

17  Because  God  hath  'deprived  her  of  wisdom. 
Neither  hath  he  imparted  to  her  understanding. 

18  What  time  she  *lifteth  up  herself  on  high. 
She  scorneth  the  horse  and  his  rider. 

19  Hast  thou  given  the  horse  his  might? 

Hast  thou  clothed  his  neck  with  'the  quivering  mane  ? 
20 Hast  thou  made  him  to  leap  as  a  locust? 
The  gloiy  of  his  snorting  is  terrible. 

21  *He  paweth  in  the  valley,  aad  rejoiceth  in  his  strength : 
He  goeth  out  to  meet  'the  armed  men. 

22  He  mocketh  at  fear,  and  is  not  dismayed ; 
Neither  turneth  he  back  from  the  sword. 

23  The  quiver  rattleth  'against  him, 
The  flashing  spear  and  the  javelin. 

24  He  swalloweth  the  ground  with  fierceness  and  rage ; 
'Neither  believeth  he  that  it  is  the  voice  of  the  trumpet. 

25  As  oft  as  the  trumpet  soundeth  he  saith.  Aha ! 
And  he  smelleth  the  battle  afar  off, 

The  thunder  of  the  captains,  and  the  shouting. 

26  Doth  the  hawk  soar  by  thy  wisdom. 
And  stretch  her  wings  toward  the  south  ? 

27  Doth  the  eagle  mount  up  at  thy  command, 
And  make  her  nest  on  high? 

28  She  dwelleth  on  the  rock,  and  hath  her  lodging  there, 
Upon  the  crag  of  the  rock,  and  the  strong  hold. 

29 From  thence  she  spieth  out  the  prey; 

Her  eyes  behold  it  afar  off. 
30  Her  young  ones  also  suck  up  blood : 

And  where  the  slain  are,  there  is  she. 

^y)     Moreover  the  Lord  answered  Job,  and  said, 

2  Shall  he  that  cavilleth  contend  with  the  Almighty  ? 
He  that  argueth  with  God,  let  him  answer  it. 

3  Then  Job  answered  the  Lord,  and  said, 

4  Behold,  I  am  of  small  account ;  what  shall  I  answer  thee  ? 
I  lay  mine  hand  upon  my  mouth. 

5  Once  have  I  spoken,  and  I  will  not  answer ; 
Yea  twice,  but  I  will  proceed  no  further. 

6  Then  the  Lord  answered  Job  out  of  the  whirlwind,  and 

said, 

7  Gird  up  thy  loins  now  like  a  man : 

I  will  demand  of  thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

8  Wilt  thou  even  disannul  my  judgement? 

Wilt  thou  condemn  me,  that  thou  mayest  be  justified  ? 
9 Or  hast  thou  an  arm  like  God? 
And  canst  thou  thunder  with  a  voice  like  him? 

10  Deck  thyself  now  with  excellency  and  dignity ; 
And  array  thyself  with  honour  and  majesty. 

11  Pour  forth  the  overflowings  of  thine  anger: 

And  look  upon  every  one  that  is  proud,  and  abase  him 

12  Look  on  every  one  that  is  proud,  and  bring  him  low; 
And  tread  down  the  wicked  where  they  stand. 

13  Hide  them  in  the  dust  together; 
Bind  their  faces  in  the  hidden  place. 

14  Then  will  I  also  confess  of  thee 

That  thine  own  right  hand  can  save  thee.

15  ^Behold   now    ||  behemoth,   which  I  made    with 
thee ;  he  eateth  grass  as  an  ox. 

16  Lo  now,  his  strength  is  in  his  loins,  and  his  force 
is  in  the  navel  of  his  belly. 

17  1 1  He  moveth  his  tail  like  a  cedar:  the  sinews  of 
his  stones  are  wrapped  together. 

18  His  bones  are  as  strong  pieces  of  brass;  his  bones 
are  like  bars  of  iron. 

19  He  is  the  chief  of  the  ways  of  God:  he  that  made 
him  can  make  his  sword  to  approach  unto  him. 

20  Surely  the  mountains  'bring  him  forth  food,  where 
all  the  beasts  of  the  field  play. 

21  He  lieth  under  the  shady  trees,  in  the  covert  of 
the  reed,  and  fens. 

22  The  shady  trees  cover  him  with  their  shadow ;  the 
willows  of  the  brook  compass  him  about. 

23  Behold,  fhe  drinketh  up  a  river,  and  hasteth  not : 
he  trusteth  that  he  can  draw  up  Jor'dan  into  his  mouth. 

24  1 1  He  taketh  it  with  his  eyes:    his    nose   pierceth 
through  snares.     CHAF^TER  XLI. 

Of  God's  great  power  in  the  leviathan, 

CANST  thou  draw  out  || "leviathan    with   a  hook? 
or  his  tongue  with  a  cord  \which  thou  lettest  down  ? 

2  Canst  thou  ''put  a  hook  into  his  nose?  or  bore  his 
jaw  through  with  a  thorn  ? 

3  Will  he  make  many  supplications  unto  thee?  will 
he  speak  soft  words  unto  thee  ? 

4  Will  he  make  a  covenant  with  thee  ?  wilt  thou  take 
him  for  a  servant  for  ever? 

5  Wilt  thou  play  with  him  as  with  a  bird?  or  wilt 
thou  bind  him  for  thy  maidens  ? 

6  Shall  the    companions    make   a    banquet   of  him? 
shall  they  part  him  among  the  merchants  ? 

7  Canst  thou  fill  his  skin  with  barbed  irons?  or  his 
head  with  fish  spears? 

8  Lay  thine  hand  upon  him,  remember  the  battle,  do 
no  more. 

9  Behold,  the  hope  of  him  is  in  vain :  shall  not  one  be 
cast  down  even  at  the  sight  of  him? 

10  None  is  so  fierce  that  dare  stir  him  up:  who  then 
is  able  to  stand  before  me? 

11  "Who  hath  prevented  me  that  I  should  repay  himf 
''whatsoever  is  under  the  whole  heaven  is  mine. 

12  I  will  not  conceal  his  parts,  nor  his  power,  nor  his 
comely  proportion. 

13  Who  can  discover  the  face  of  his  garment?  or  who 
can  come  to  him  ||with  his  double  bridle? 

14  Who  can  open  the  doors  of  his  face?  his  teeth  are 
terrible  round  about. 

15  His  fseales  are  his  pride,  shut  up  together  as  with 
a  close  seal. 

16  One  is  so  near  to  another,  that  no  air  can  come 
between  them. 

17  They   are  joined  one   to  another,  they  stick  to- 
gether, that  they  cannot  be  sundered. 

18  By  his  neesings  a  light  doth  shine,  and  his  eyes 
are  like  the  eyelids  of  the  morning. 

19  Out  of  his  mouth  go  burning  lamps,  and  sparks  of 
fire  leap  out. 

20  Out  of  his  nostrils  goeth  smoke,  as  out  of  a  seeth- 
ing pot  or  caldron. 

21  His  breath  kindleth  coals,  and  a  flame  goeth  out 
of  his  mouth. 

22  In  his  neck   remaineth   strength,  and  fsorrow  is 
turned  into  joy  before  him. 

23  fThe  flakes  of  his  flesh  are  joined  together :  they 
are  firm  in  themselves;  they  cannot  be  moved. 

24  His  heart  is  as  firm  as  a  stone;  yea,  as  hard  as  a 
piece  of  the  nether  millstone. 


15  Behold  now  'behemoth,  which  I  made  with  thee; 
He  eateth  grass  as  an  ox. 

16  Lo  now,  his  strength  is  in  his  loins. 
And  his  force  is  in  the  muscles  of  his  belly. 

17 He  moveth  his  tail  like  a  cedar: 

The  sinews  of  his  thighs  are  knit  together. 

18  His  bones  are  as  tubes  of  brass; 
His  ^limbs  are  like  bars  of  iron. 

19  He  is  the  chief  of  the  ways  of  God : 

^He  only  that  made  him  can  make  his  sword  to  approach 
unto  him. 

20  Surely  the  mountains  bring  him  forth  food ; 
Where  all  the  beasts  of  the  field  do  play. 

21  He  lieth  under  the  lotus  trees. 

In  the  covert  of  the  reed,  and  the  fen. 

22  The  lotus  trees  cover  him  with  their  shadow ; 
The  willows  of  the  brook  compass  him  about. 

23  Behold,  if  a  river  ^overflow,  he  trembleth  not : 

He  is  confident,  though  Jor'dan  swell  even  to  his  mouth. 

24  Shall  any  take  him  when  he  is  on  the  watch, 
J  -J  Or  pierce  through  his  nose  with  a  snare? 

4^4-      Canst  thou  draw  out  'leviathan  with  a  fish  hook  ? 
Or  press  down  his  tongue  with  a  cord  ? 

2  Canst  thou  put  'a  rope  into  his  nose  ? 
Or  pierce  his  jaw  through  with  a  'hook  ? 

3  Will  he  make  many  supplications  unto  thee  ? 
Or  will  he  speak  soft  words  unto  thee? 

4  Will  he  make  a  covenant  with  thee. 

That  thou  shouldest  take  him  for  a  servant  for  ever? 
6 Wilt  thou  play  with  him  as  with  a  bird? 
Or  wilt  thou  bind  him  for  thy  maidens?? 

6  Shall  the  bands  of  fishermen  make  traffic  of  him  ? 
Shall  they  part  him  among  the  merchants? 

7  Canst  thou  fill  his  skin  with  barbed  irons, 
Or  his  head  with  fish  spears? 

8  Lay  thine  hand  upon  him ; 
Remember  the  battle,  and  do  so  no  more. 

9  Behold,  the  hope  of  him  is  in  vain: 

Shall  not  one  be  cast  down  even  at  the  sight  of  him? 

10  None  is  so  fierce  that  he  dare  stir  him  up : 
Who  then  is  he  that  can  stand  before  me? 

11  Who  hath  first  given  unto  me,  that  I  should  repay  him? 
Whatsoever  is  under  the  whole  heaven  is  mine. 

121  will  not  keep  silence  concerning  his  limbs, 

Nor  his  mighty  strength,  nor  his  comely  proportion. 

13  Who  can  *strip  oif  his  outer  garment? 
Who  shall  come  within  his  double  bridle  ? 

14  Who  can  open  the  doors  of  his  face? 
'Round  about  his  teeth  is  terror. 

15  His  '"strong  scales  are  his  pride, 
Shut  up  together  as  with  a  close  seal. 

16  One  is  so  near  to  another. 
That  no  air  can  come  between  them. 

17  They  are  joined  one  to  another; 
They  stick  together,  that  they  cannot  be  sundered. 

18  His  neesings  flash  forth  light. 
And  his  eyes  are  like  the  eyelids  of  the  morning. 

19  Out  of  his  mouth  go  burning  torches, 
And  sparks  of  fire  leap  forth. 

20  Out  of  his  nostrils  a  smoke  goeth. 
As  of  a  seething  pot  and  burning  rushes. 

21  His  breath  kindleth  coals. 
And  a  flame  goeth  forth  from  his  mouth. 

22  In  his  neck  abideth  strength. 
And  terror  danceth  before  him. 

23  The  flakes  of  his  flesh  are  joined  together: 
They  are  firm  upon  him;  they  cannot  be  moved. 

24  His  heart  is  as  firm  as  a  stone ; 
Yea,  firm  as  the  nether  millstone.

25  When  he  raiseth  up  himself,  the  mighty  are  afraid : 
by  reason  of  breakings  they  purify  themselves. 

26  The  sword  of  him  that  layeth  at  him  cannot  hold : 
the  spear,  the  dart,  nor  the  ||  habergeon. 

27  He  esteemeth  iron  as  straw,  and  brass  as  rotten  wood. 

28  The  arrow  cannot  make  him  flee :  sling  stones  are 
turned  with  him  into  stubble. 

29  Darts  are  counted  as  stubble :  he  laugheth  at  the 
shaking  of  a  spear. 

30  fSharp  stones  are  under  him :  he  spreadeth  sharp- 
pointed  things  upon  the  mire. 

31  He  maketh  the  deep  to  boil  like  a  pot :  he  maketh 
the  sea  like  a  pot  of  ointment. 

32  He  maketh  a  path  to  shine  after  him;  one  would 
think  the  deep  to  be  hoary. 

33  Upon  earth  there  is  not  his  like,  ||  who  is  made 
without  fear.

all  the  children  of  pride. 

CHAPTER  XLII. 

yob  submitieth  kimself  unto  God—Job^s  age  and  death, 

rpHEN  Job  answered  the  Loed,  and  said, 

J-    2  I  know  that  thou  "canst  do  every  thing,  and  that 

II  no  thought  can  be  withholden  from  thee. 

3  ''Who  is  he  that  hideth  counsel  without  knowledge  ? 
therefore  have  I  uttered  that  I  understood  not ;  "things 
too  wonderful  for  me,  which  I  knew  not. 

4  Hear,  I  beseech  thee,  and  I  will  speak :  •*!  will  de- 
mand of  thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

5  I  have  heard  of  thee  by  the  hearing  of  the  ear :  but 
now  mine  eye  seeth  thee: 

6  Whereforel'abhormy8e?/',andrepentindustand ashes. 

7  ^And  it  was  so,  that  after  the  Lord  had  spoken  these 
words  unto  Job,  the  Lord  said  to  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man- 
ite,  My  wrath  is  kindled  against  thee,  and  against  thy 
two  friends :  for  ye  have  not  spoken  of  me  the  thing  that 
is  right,  as  my  servant  Job  hath. 

8  Therefore  take  unto  you  now  ■'seven  bullocks  and 
seven  rams,  and  'go  to  my  servant  Job,  and  offer  up  for 
yourselves  a  burnt  offering ;  and  my  servant  Job  shall 
"pray  for  you :  for  fhim  will  I  accept :  lest  I  deal  with 
you  after  your  folly,  in  that  ye  have  not  spoken  of  me 
the  thing  which  is  right,  like  my  servant  Job. 

9  So  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite  and  Bil'dad  the  ShuTiite  and 
Zo'phar  the  Na'a-ma-thite  went,  and  did  according  as  the 
Lord  commanded  them :  the  Lord  also  accepted  f  Job. 

10  *And  the  Lord  turned  the  captivity  of  Job,  when 
he  prayed  for  his  friends:  also  the  Lord  fgave  Job 
*twice  as  much  as  he  had  before. 

11  Then  came  there  unto  him  'all  his  brethren,  and  all 
his  sisters,  and  all  they  that  had  been  of  his  acquaintance 
before,  and  did  eat  bread  with  him  in  his  house :  and  they 
bemoaned  him,  and  comforted  him  over  all  the  evil  that 
the  Lord  had  brought  upon  him :  every  man  also  gave 
him  a  piece  of  money,  and  every  one  an  earring  of  gold. 

12  So  the  Lord  blessed  "the  latter  end  of  Job  more 
than  his  beginning :  for  he  had  "fourteen  thousand  sheep, 
and  six  thousand  camels,  and  a  thousand  yoke  of  oxen, 
and  a  thousand  she-asses. 

13  "He  had  also  seven  sons,  and  three  daughters. 

14  And  he  called  the  name  of  the  first,  Je-mi'ma;  and 
the  name  of  the  second,  Ke-zi'a ;  and  the  name  of  the 
third,  Ker-en-hap'puch. 

15  And  in  all  the  land  were  no  women  found  so  fair  as 
the  daughters  of  Job :  and  their  fether  gave  them  in- 
heritance among  their  brethren. 

16  After  this  "lived  Job  a  hundred  and  forty  years,  and 
saw  his  sons,  and  his  son.s'  sons,  even  four  generations. 

17  So  Job  died,  being  old  and  'full  of  days. 


25 When  he  raiseth  himself  up,  the  mighty  are  afraid: 
By  reason  of  consternation  they  are  beside  themselves. 

26  If  one  lay  at  him  with  the  sword,  it  cannot  avail ; 
Nor  the  spear,  the  dart,  nor  the  'pointed  shaft. 

27  He  counteth  iron  as  straw. 
And  brass  as  rotten  wood. 

28  The  ^arrow  cannot  make  him  flee : 
Slingstones  are  turned  with  him  into  stubble: 

29  Clubs  are  counted  as  stubble : 

He  laugheth  at  the  rushing  of  the  javelin. 

30  His  underparts  are  like  sharp  potsherds : 

He  spreadeth  as  it  were  a  threshing  wain  upon  the  mire. 

31  He  maketh  the  deep  to  boil  like  a  pot : 
He  maketh  the  sea  like  ointment. 

32  He  maketh  a  path  to  shine  after  him ; 
One  would  think  the  deep  to  be  hoary. 

33  Upon  earth  there  is  not  his  like, 
That  is  made  without  fear. 

34  He  beholdeth  every  thing  that  is  high : 
He  is  king  over  all  the  'sons  of  pride. 

^^    Then  Job  answered  the  Lord,  and  said, 
21  know  that  thou  canst  do  all  things, 

And  that  no  purpose  of  thine  can  be  restrained. 
3* Who  is  this  that  hideth  counsel  without  knowledge? 

Therefore  have  I  uttered  that  which  I  understood  not. 

Things  too  wonderful  for  me,  which  I  knew  not. 
4  Hear,  I  beseech  thee,  and  I  will  speak ; 

'I  will  demand  of  thee,  and  declare  thou  unto  me. 
5 1  had  heard  of  thee  by  the  hearing  of  the  ear ; 

But  now  mine  eye  seeth  thee, 

6  Wherefore  I  *abnor  myself,  and  repent 
In  dust  and  ashes. 

7  And  it  was  so,  that  after  the  Lord  had  spoken  these 
words  unto  Job,  the  Lord  said  to  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite, 
My  wrath  is  kindled  against  thee,  and  against  thy  two 
friends:  for  ye  have  not  spoken  of  me  the  thing  that  is 

8  right,  as  my  servant  Job  hath.  Now  therefore,  take  unto 
you  seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams,  and  go  to  my  serv- 
ant Job,  and  offer  up  for  yourselves  a  burnt  offering; 
and  my  servant  Job  shall  pray  for  you ;  for  him  will  I 
accept,  that  I  deal  not  with  you  after  your  folly ;  for  ye 
have  not  spoken  of  me  the  thing  that  is  right,  as  my 

9  servant  Job  hath.  So  El'i-phaz  the  Te'man-ite  and  Bil'dad 
the  Shu'hite  and  Zo'phar  the  Na'a-ma-thite  went,  and  did 
according  as  the  Lord  commanded  them :  and  the  Lord 

10  accepted  Job.  And  the  Lord  turned  the  captivity  of 
Job,  when  he  prayed  for  his  friends :  and  the  Lord  gave 

11  Job  twice  as  much  as  he  had  before.  Then  came  there 
unto  him  all  his  brethren,  and  all  his  sisters,  and  all  they 
that  had  been  of  his  acquaintance  before,  and  did  eat 
bread  with  him  in  his  house:  and  they  bemoaned  him, 
and  comforted  him  concerning  all  the  evil  that  the  Lord 
had  brought  upon  him :  every  man  also  gave  him  a  Apiece 

12  of  money,  and  every  one  a  ring  of  gold.  So  the  Lord 
blessed  the  latter  end  of  Job  more  than  his  beginning : 
and  he  had  fourteen  thousand  sheep,  and  six  thousand 
camels,  and  a  thousand  yoke  of  oxen,  and  a  thousand 

13  she-asses.     He  had  also  seven  sons  and  three  daughters.

name  of  the  second,  Ke-zi'ah;  and  the  name  of  the  third, 

15  Ker-en-hap'puch.  And  in  all  the  land  were  no  women 
found  so  fair  as  the  daughters  of  Job :  and  their  father 

16  gave  them  inheritance  among  their  brethren.  And  after 
this  Job  lived  an  hundred  and  forty  years,  and  saw  his 

17  sons,  and  his  sons'  sons,  even  four  generations.  So  Job 
died,  being  old  and  full  of  days.

The  happiness  of  the  godly —  The  unhappiness  of  the  ungodly. 

BLESSED  °is  the  man  that  walketh  not  in  the  coun- 
sel of  the  II  ungodly,  nor  standeth  in  the  way  of  sin- 
ners, ''nor  sitteth  in  the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

2  But  "his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the  LoBD ;  ''and  in 
his  law  doth  he  meditate  day  and  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  "planted  by  the  rivers 
of  water,  that  bringeth  forth  his  fruit  in  his  season ;  his 
leaf  also  shall  not  fwither;  and  whatsover  he  doeth 
shall  ■^prosper. 

4  The  ungodly  are  not  so :  but  are  "like  the  chaff 
which  the  wind  driveth  away. 

5  Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not  stand  in  the  judg- 
ment, nor  sinners  in  the  congregation  of  the  righteous. 

6  For  'the  Lord  knoweth  the  way  of  the  righteous: 
but  the  way  of  the  ungodly  shall  perish. 

psalm:  II. 

The  kingdom  of  Christ— Kings  are  exhorted  to  accept  it. 

WHY    "do    the    heathen     ||  rage,    and    the    people 
f  imagine  a  vain  thing  ? 

2  The  kings  of  the  earth  set  themselves,  and  the  rulers 
take  counsel  together,  against  the  Loed,  and  against 
his  'Anointed,  saying, 

3  "Let  us  break  their  bands  asunder,  and  cast  away 
their  cords  from  us. 

4  ''He  that  sitteth  in  the  heavens  "shall  laugh :  the 
Lord  shall  have  them  in  derision. 

5  Then  shall  he  speak  unto  them  in  his  wrath,  and 
II  vex  them  in  his  sore  displeasure. 

6  Yet  have  I  set  my  King  ■'^upon  my  holy  hill  of 
Zi'on. 

7  I  will  declare  the  decree:  the  Lord  hath  said  unto 
me,  "Thou  art  my  Son ;  this  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

8  *Ask  of  me,  and  I  shall  give  thee  the  heathen  for 
thine  inheritance,  and  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth 
for  thy  possession. 

9  *Thou  shalt  break  them  with  a  rod  of  iron;  thou 
shalt  dash  them  in  pieces  like  a  potter's  vessel. 

10  Be  wise  now  therefore,  O  ye  kings :  be  instructed, 
ye  judges  of  the  earth. 

11  *Serve  the  Lord  with  fear,  and  rejoice  Vith 
trembling. 

12  '"Kiss  the  Son,  lest  he  be  angry,  and  ye  perish 
from  the  way,  when  "his  wrath  is  kindled  but  a  little. 
"Blessed  are  all  they  that  put  their  trust  in  him. 

psalm:  III. 

The  security  of  God^s  protection. 
A  Psalm  of  David,  "when  he  fled  from  Absalom  his  son. 

LORD,  "how  are  they  increased  that  troubled   me! 
many  are  they  that  rise  up  against  me. 

2  Many  there  be  which  say  of  my  soul,  ''There  is  no 
help  for  him  in  God.     Selah. 

3  But  thou,  O  Lord,  art  "a  shield  ||  for  me ;  my  glory, 
and  ''the  lifter  up  of  mine  head. 

4  I  cried  unto  the  Lord  with  my  voice,  and  'he  heard 
me  out  of  his  -^holy  hill.     Selah. 

5  "I  laid  me  down  and  slept ;  I  awaked  ;  for  the  Lord 
sustained  me. 

6  ''I  will  not  be  afraid  of  ten  thousands  of  people,  that 
have  set  themselves  against  me  round  about.

BOOK   I. 

i 'Blessed  is  the  man  that  walketh  not  in  the  counsel  of 
the  wicked. 
Nor  standeth  in  the  way  of  sinners. 
Nor  sitteth  in  the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the  Lord  ; 
And  in  his  law  doth  he  meditate  day  and  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by  the  streams  of  water, 
That  bringeth  forth  its  fruit  in  its  season, 

Whose  leaf  also  doth  not  wither; 

And  ^whatsoever  he  doeth  shall  prosper. 

4  The  wicked  are  not  so ; 

But  are  like  the  chaff  which  the  wind  driveth  away. 

5  Therefore  the  wicked  shall  not  stand  in  the  judgement, 
Nor  sinners  in  the  congregation  of  the  righteous. 

6  For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  way  of  the  righteous : 
But  the  way  of  the  wicked  shall  perish. 

^  Why  do  the  nations  'rage, 
And  the  peoples  ^imagine  a  vain  thing? 

2  The  kings  of  the  earth  set  themselves. 
And  the  rulers  take  counsel  together, 

Against  the  Lord,  and  against  his  anointed,  saying, 

3  Let  us  break  their  bands  asunder. 
And  cast  away  their  cords  from  us. 

4  He  that  sitteth  in  the  heavens  shall  laugh : 
The  Lord  shall  have  them  in  derision. 

5  Then  shall  he  speak  unto  them  in  his  wrath, 
And  ^vex  them  in  his  sore  displeasure: 

6  Yet  I  have  set  my  king 
Upon  my  holy  hill  of  Zi'on. 

7  I  will  tell  of  the  decree : 

The  Lord  said  unto  me.  Thou  art  my  son; 
This  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

8  Ask  of  me,  and  I  will  give  thee  the  nations  for  thine  in- 

heritance. 
And  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  for  thy  possession. 

9  Thou  shalt  break  them  with  a  rod  of  iron ; 

Thou  shalt  dash  them  in  pieces  like  a  potter's  vessel. 
10 Now  therefore  be  wise,  O  ye  kings: 

Be  instructed,  ye  judges  of  the  earth. 
1 1  Serve  the  Lord  with  fear, 

And  rejoice  with  trembling. 
12 'Kiss  the  son,  lest  he  be  angry,  and  ye  perish  in  the  way. 

For  his  wrath  'will  soon  be  kindled. 

'Blessed  are  all  they  that  'put  their  trust  in  him. 

0  A  Psalm  of  David,  when  he  fled  from  Absalom  his  son. 

1  Lord,  how  are  all  mine  adversaries  increased ! 
Many  are  they  that  rise  up  against  me. 

2  Many  there  be  which  say  "of  my  soul. 

There  is  no  '"help  for  him  in  God.  [Selah 

3 But  thou,  O  Lord,  art  a  shield  about  me;

after  leasing?     Selah.

open  sepulchre ;  Hhey  flatter  with  their  tongue. 

10  II  Destroy  thou  them,  O  God;  "let  them  fall  ||by 
their  own  counsels;  cast  them  out  in  the  multitude

against  thee. 

11  .Eut  let  all  those  that  put  their  trust  in  thee  "re- 
joice :  let  them  ever  shout  for  joy,  because  fthou  de- 
fendest  them:  let  them  also  that  love  thy  name  be 
joyful  in  thee. 

12  For  thou,  Lord,  "wilt  bless  the  righteous;  with 
favour  wilt  thou  fcompass  him  as  with  a  shield.

David  prayeth  against  the  malice  of  his  enemies, 

*Sliiggaion  of  David,  which  he  sang  unto  the    Lord,  *  concerning  the 

I  words  of  Cush  the  Benjamite. 

OLORD  my  God,  in  thee  do  I  put  my  trust :  "save 
me  from  all  them  that  persecute  me,  and  deliver  me : 

2  *Lest  he  tear  my  soul  like  a  lion,  "rending  \i  in 
pieces,  while  there  is  fnone  to  deliver. 

3  O  Lord  my  God,  ''if  I  have  done  this ;  if  there  be 
"iniquity  in  my  hands; 

4  If  I  have  rewarded  evil  unto  him  that  was  at  peace 
with  me;  (yea,  -^I  have  delivered  him  that  without 
cause  is  mine  enemy :) 

5  Let  the  enemy  persecute  my  soul,  and  take  it;  yea, 
let  him  tread  down  my  life  upon  the  earth,  and  lay  mine 
honour  in  the  dust.     Selah. 

6  Arise,  O  Lord,  in  thine  anger,  "lift  up  thyself  be- 
cause of  the  rage  of  mine  enemies :  and  *awake  for  me 
to  the  judgment  that  thou  hast  commanded. 

7  So  shall  the  congregation  of  the  people  compass  thee 
about :  for  their  sakes  therefore  return  thou  on  high. 

8  The  Lord  shall  judge  the  people:  judge  me,  O 
Lord,  'according  to  my  righteousness,  and  according 
to  mine  integrity  that  is  in  me. 

9  Oh  let  the  wickedness  of  the  wicked  come  to  an  end ; 
but  establish  the  just:  *for  the  righteous  God  trieth 
the  hearts  and  reins. 

10  fM-Y  defence  is  of  God,  which  saveth  the  'upright 
in  heart. 

11  II  God  judgeth  the  righteous,  and  God  is  angry  with 
the  wicked  every  day. 

12  If  he  turn  not,  he  will  "whet  his  sword;  he  hath 
bent  his  bow,  and  made  it  ready. 

13  He  hath  also  prepared  for  him  the  instruments  of 
death  ;  "he  ordaineth  his  arrows  against  the  persecutors. 

14  "Behold,  he  travaileth  with  iniquity,  and  hath  con- 
ceived mi.schief,  and  brought  forth  falsehood. 

15  fHe  made  a  pit,  and  digged  it,  "and  is  fallen  into 
the  ditch  which  he  made. 

16  «His  mischief  shall  return  upon  his  own  head, 
and  his  violent  dealing  shall  come  down  upon  his  own 
pate. 

17  I  will  praise  the  Lord  according  to  his  righteous-

PSALM    VIII. 

God's  glory  magnified  by  his  works,  and  by  his  love  to  man. 
To  the  chief  Musician  "upon  Gittith,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

OLORD  our  Lord,  how  "excellent  is  thy  name  in 
all  the  earth!   who  'hast  set  thy  glory  above  the 
heavens. 


2  Have  mercy  upon  me,  O  Lord  ;  for  I  am  withered  away : 

0  Lord,  heal  me ;  for  my  bones  are  vexed. 

3  My  soul  also  is  sore  vexed : 
And  thou,  O  Lord,  how  long? 

4 Return,  O  Lord,  deliver  my  soul: 
Save  me  for  thy  lovingkindness'  sake. 

5  For  in  death  there  is  no  remembrance  of  thee: 
In  'She'ol  who  shall  give  thee  thanks? 

6  I  am  weary  with  my  groaning ; 
Every  night  make  I  my  bed  to  swim ; 

1  water  my  couch  with  my  tears. 

7  Mine  eye  wasteth  away  because  of  grief; 

It  waxeth  old  because  of  all  mine  adversaries. 

8  Depart  from  me  all  ye  workers  of  iniquity ; 

For  the  Lord  hath  heard  the  voice  of  my  weeping. 

9  The  Lord  hath  heard  my  supj)lication ; 
The  Lord  will  receive  my  prayer. 

10 All  mine  enemies  shall  be  ashamed  and  sore  vexed: 
They  shall  turn  back,  they  shall  be  ashamed  suddenly. 

7Sbiggaion  of  David,  which  he  sang  unto  the  I,ord,  concerning  the  words 
of  Cush  a  Benjamite. 

1 0  Lord  my  God,  in  thee  do  I  ^put  my  trust : 

Save  me  from  all  them  that  pursue  me,  and  deliver  me 

2  Lest  he  tear  my  soul  like  a  lion. 

Rending  it  in  pieces,  while  there  is  none  to  deliver. 

3  O  Lord  my  God,  if  I  have  done  this; 
If  there  be  iniquity  in  my  hands; 

4  If  I  have  rewarded  evil  unto  him  that  was  at  peace  with  me, 
(Yea,  I  have  delivered  him  that  without  cause  was  mine 

adversary :) 

5  Let  the  enemy  pursiie  my  soul,  and  overtake  it ; 
Yea,  let  him  tread  my  life  down  to  the  earth, 
And  lay  my  glory  in  the  dust.  [Selah 

6  Arise,  0  Lord,  in  thine  anger, 
Lift  up  thyself  against  the  rage  of  mine  adversaries : 
And  awake  for  me;  thou  hast  commanded  judgement, 

7  ^And  let  the  congregation  of  the  peoples  compass  thee 

about : 
And  over  them  return  thou  on  high. 

8  The  Lord  ministereth  judgement  to  the  peoples : 
Judge  me,  O  Lord,  according  to  my  righteousness,  and 

to  mine  integrity  ''that  is  in  me. 

9  Oh  let  the  wickedness  of  the  wicked  come  to  an  end,  but 

establish  thou  the  righteous : 
For  the  righteous  God  trieth  the  hearts  and  reins. 

10  My  shield  is  with  God, 

Which  saveth  the  upright  in  heart. 

11  God  is  a  righteous  judge, 

Yea  a  God  that  hath  indignation  every  day. 
12'If  a  man  turn  not,  he  will  whet  his  sword; 
He  hath  bent  his  bow,  and  made  it  ready. 

13  He  hath  also  prepared  for  him  the  instruments  of  death ; 
He  maketh  his  arrows  fiery  shafts. 

14  Behold  he  travaileth  with  iniquity; 

Yea,  he   hath   conceived   mischief,  and   brought  forth 
falsehood. 

15  He  hath  made  a  pit  and  digged  it. 

And  is  fallen  into  the  ditch  which  he  made. 

16  His  mischief  shall  return  upon  his  own  head. 

And  his  violence  shall  come  down  upon  his  own  pate. 
171  will   give  thanks   unto   the   Lord  according  to   his 
righteousness  : 
And  will  sing  praise  to  the  name  of  the  Lord  Most  High. 

8  For  the  Chief  Musician  :  set  to  the  Gittith.

David  praiseth  God  for  executing  of  judgment. 
To  the  chief  Musician  upon  Muth-labben,  A  Psalm  of  David, 

I  WILL  praise  thee,  O  Lord,  with  my  whole  heart; 
I  will  shew  forth  all  thy  marvellous  works. 

2  I  will  be  glad  and  "rejoice  in  thee :  I  will  sing  praise 
to  thy  name,  O  Hhou  Most  High. 

3  When  mine  enemies  are  turned  back,  they  shall  fall

4  For  fthou  hast  maintained  my  right  and  my  cause ;

5  Thou  hast  rebuked  the  heathen,  thou  hast  destroyed

6  II O  thou  enemy,  destructions  are  come  to  a  perpetual

Thou  that  liftest  me  up  from  the  gates  of  death ; 

14  That  I  may  shew  forth  all  thy  praise : 
In  the  gates  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on, 
I  will  rejoice  in  thy  "salvation. 

15  The  nations  are  sunk  down  in  the  pit  that  they  made : 
In  the  net  which  they  hid  is  their  own  foot  taken. 

16  The  Lord  hath  made  himself  known,  he  hath  executed 

judgement: 
'^The  wicked  is  snared  in  the  work  of  his  own 

hands.  [Higgaion.    Selah 

17  The  wicked  shall  return  to  She'ol, 
Even  all  the  nations  that  forget  God. 

18  For  the  needy  shall  not  alway  be  forgotten. 
Nor  the  expectation  of  the  '"poor  perish  for  ever. 

19  Arise,  O  Lord;  let  not  man  prevail: 
Let  the  nations  be  judged  in  thy  sight. 

20  Put  them  in  fear,  O  Ix»rd  : 

Let  the  nations  know  themselves  to  be  but  men.       [Selah

WHY  standest  thou  afar  off,  O  Lord?   wh,y  hidest 
thou  thyself  in  times  of  trouble  ? 

2  fThe  -wicked  in  his  pride  doth  persecute  the  poor : 
"let  them  be  taken  in  the  devices  that  they  have  imagined. 

3  For  the  wicked  ''boasteth  of  his  fheart's  desire,  and 
°||  blesseth  the  covetous,  whom  the  Lord  abhorreth. 

4  The  wicked,  through  the  pride  of  his  countenance, 
•'will  not  seek  after  God :  ||  God  is  not  in  all  his  'thoughts. 

5  His  ways  are  always  grievous;  ^thy  judgments  are 
far  above  out  of  his  sight :  as  for  all  his  enemies,  "he 
puffeth  at  them. 

6  'He  hath  said  in  his  heart,  I  shall  not  be  moved :  'for 
/  shall  fnever  he  in  adversity. 

7  *His  mouth  is  full  of  cursing  and  fdeceit  and  fraud : 
'under  his  tongue  is  mischief  "and  ||  vanity. 

8  He  sitteth  in  the  lurking  places  of  the  villages :  "in 
the  secret  places  doth  he  murder  the  innocent:  "his  eyes 
f  are  privily  set  against  the  poor. 

9  ''He  lieth  in  wait  fsecretly  as  a  lion  in  his  den :  he 
lieth  in  wait  to  catch  the  poor :  he  doth  catch  the  poor, 
when  he  draweth  him  into  his  net. 

10  fHe  croucheth,  and  humbleth  himself,  that  the 
poor  may  fall  ||by  his  strong  ones. 

11  He  hath  said  in  his  heart,  God  hath  forgotten :  'he 
hideth  his  face ;  he  will  never  see  it. 

12  Arise,  O  Lord;  O  God,  'lift  up  thine  hand:  forget 
not  the  II  humble. 

13  Wherefore  doth  the  wicked  contemn  God?  he  hath 
said  in  his  heart.  Thou  wilt  not  require  it. 

14  Thou  hast  seen  it;  for  thou  beholdest  mischief 
and  spite,  to  requite  it  with  thy  hand :  the  poor  fcom- 
mitteth  himself  unto  thee ;  'thou  art  the  helper  of  the 
fatherless. 

15  "Break  thou  the  arm  of  the  wicked  and  the  evil 
man:  seek  out  his  wickedness  till  thou  find  none. 

16  "'The  Lord  is  King  for  ever  and  ever:  the  heathen

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David.

'They   are   corrupt,  they    have  done    abominable 
works,  there  is  none  that  doth  good. 

2  "The  Lord  looked  down  from  heaven  upon  the 
children  of  men,  to  see  if  there  were  any  that  did 
understand,  and  seek  God. 

3  ''They  are  all  gone  aside,  they  are  all  together  be- 
come ffilthy :  there  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 

4  Have  all  the  workers  of  iniquity  no  knowledge  ? 
who  'eat  up  my  people  as  they  eat  bread,  and  /call  not 
upon  the  Lord. 

5  There  fwere  they  in  great  fear :  for  God  is  in  the 
generation  of  the  righteous. 

6  Ye  have  shamed  the  counsel  of  the  poor,  because 
the  Lord  is  his  "refuge. 

7  t*Oh  that  the  salvation  of  Is'ra-el  were  come  out  of

A  Psalm  of  David. 

LORD,  "who  shall  fab'de  in  thy  tabernacle?  who

2  'He  that  walketh  uprightly,  and  worketh  righteous- 
ness, and  ''speaketh  the  truth  in  his  heart. 

3  'He  that  backbiteth  not  with  his  tongue,  nor  doeth 
evil  to  his  neighbour,  'nor  ||  taketh  up  a  reproach 
against  his  neighbour. 

4  "In  whose  eyes  a  vile  person  is  contemned ;  but  he 
honoureth  them  that  fear  the  Lord.  He  that  *8weareth 
to  his  oion  hurt,  and  changeth  not. 

5  *He  that  putteth  not  out  his  money  to  usury,  *nor 
taketh  reward  against  the  innocent.  He  that  doeth 
these  things  'shall  never  be  moved. 


2  They  sppak  vanity  every  one  with  his  neighbour : 
With  flattering  lip,  and  with  a  double   neart,  do  they 

speak. 

3  The  Lord  shall  cut  off  all  flattering  lips, 
The  tongue  that  speaketh  great  things : 

4  "Who  have  said.  With  our  tongue  will  we  prevail ; 
Our  lips  are  'our  own :  who  is  lord  over  us? 

5  For  the  spoiling  of  the  poor,  for  the  sighing  of  the  needy. 
Now  will  I  arise,  saith  the  Lord  ; 

I  will  set  him  ^in  safety  at  whom  they  puff. 

6  The  words  of  the  Lord  are  pure  words ; 
As  silver  tried  in  a  furnace  on  the  earthy 
Purified  seven  times. 

7  Thou  shalt  keep  them,  O  Lord, 

Thou  shalt  preserve  them  from  this  generation  for  ever. 

8  The  wicked  walk  on  every  side, 

When  vileness  is  exalted  among  the  sons  of  men. 

I  rj  For  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  How  long,  O  Lord,  wilt  thou  forget  me  for  ever  ? 
How  long  wilt  thou  hide  thy  face  from  me  ? 

2  How  long  shall  I  take  counsel  in  my  soul, 
Having  sorrow  in  my  heart  all  the  day? 

How  long  shall  mine  enemy  be  exalted  over  me? 

3  Consider  and  answer  me,  O  Lord  my  God : 
Lighten  mine  eyes,  lest  I  sleep  the  sleep  of  death ; 

4  Lest  mine  enemy  say,  I  have  prevailed  against  him ; 
Lest  mine  adversaries  rejoice  when  I  am  moved. 

5  But  I  have  trusted  in  thy  mercy ; 

My  heart  shall  rejoice  in  thy  salvation : 
6 1  will  sing  unto  the  Lord, 
Because  he  hath  dealt  bountifully  with  me. 

\^  For  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  The  fool  hath  said  in  his  heart.  There  is  no  God. 
They  are  corrupt,  they  have  done  abominable  works ; 
There  is  none  that  doeth  good. 

2  The  Lord  looked  down  from  heaven  upon  the  children 

of  men. 

To  see  if  there  were  any  that  did  'understand, 

That  did  seek  after  God. 
3 They   are   all   gone    aside;    they   are    together   become 
filthy ; 

There  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 
4  Have  all  the  workers  of  iniquity  no  knowledge  ? 

Who  eat  up  my  people  as  they  eat  bread, 

And  call  not  upon  the  Lord. 
5 There  were  they  in  great  fear: 

For  God  is  in  the  generation  of  the  righteous. 

6  Ye  put  to  shame  the  counsel  of  the  poor, 
'Because  the  Lord  is  his  refuge. 

7  Oh  that  the  salvation  of  Is'ra-el  were  come  out  of  Zi'on ! 
When  the  Lord  'bringeth  back  the  captivity  of  his  people. 
Then  shall  Ja'cob  rejoice,  and  Is'ra-el  shall  be  glad. 

I.Q  A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  Lord,  who  shall  sojourn  in  thy  "tabernacle  ? 
Who  shall  dwell  in  thy  holy  hill  ? 

2  He  that  walketh  uprightly,  and  worketh  righteousness, 
And  speaketh  truth  in  his  heart. 

3 'He  that  slandereth  not  with  his  tongue, 
Nor  doeth  evil  to  his  friend. 
Nor  taketh  up  a  reproach  against  his  neighbour. 

4  In  "whose  eyes  a  reprobate  is  despised ; 
But  he  honoureth  them  that  fear  the  Lord. 

'He  that  sweareth  '"to  his  own  hurt,  and  changeth  not. 

5  "He  that  putteth  not  out  his  money  to  usury, 
Nor  taketh  reward  against  the  innocent. 

He  that  doeth  these  things  shall  never  be  moved.

II  that  savest  by  thy  right  hand  them  which  put  their

David praiseth  God  for  his  manifold  and  marvellous  blessings. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David,  "the  servant  of  the  Lord,  who 

spake  unto  the  Lord  the  words  of  nhis  song  in  the  day  that  the  I<ord 

delivered  him  from  the  hand  of  all  his  enemies,  and  from  the  hand  of 

Saul ;    And  he  said, 

I  "WILL  love  thee,  O  Loed  my  strength. 
2  The  Lord  is  my  rock,  and  my  fortress,  and  my 
deliverer;  my  God,  fmy  strength,  'in  whom  I  will  trust ; 
my  buckler,  and  the  horn  of  my  salvation,  and  my  high 
tower. 

3  I  will  call  upon  the  Lord,  "who  is  worthy  to  be 
praised :  so  shall  I  be  saved  from  mine  enemies. 

4  ''The  sorrows  of  death  compassed  me,  and  the  floods 
of  fungodly  men  made  me  afraid. 

5  The  II sorrows  of  hell  compassed  me  about:  the 
snares  of  death  prevented  me. 

6  In  my  distress  I  called  upon  the  Lord,  and  cried 
unto  my  God:  he  heard  my  voice  out  of  his  temple, 
and  my  cry  came  before  him,  even  into  his  ears. 

7  'Then  the  earth  shook  and  trembled;  the  founda- 
tions also  of  the  hills  moved  and  were  shaken,  because 
he  was  wroth. 

8  There  went  up  a  smoke  fout  of  his  nostrils,  and 
fire  out  of  his  mouth  devoured :  coals  were  kindled 
by  it. 

9  ■'^He  bowed  the  heavens  also,  and  came  down;  and 
darkness  was  under  his  feet. 

10  'And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub,  and  did  fly :  yea,  *he 
did  fly  upon  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

11  He  made  darkness  his  secret  place;  "his  pavilion 
round  about  him  were  dark  waters  and  thick  clouds 
of  the  skies. 

12  *At  the  brightness  i,hat  was  before  him  his  thick 
clouds  passed,  hail  stones  and  coals  of  fire. 

13  The  Lord  also  thundered  in  the  heavens,  and 
the  Highest  'gave  his  voice;  hail  stones  and  coals 
of  fire. 

14  "Yea,  he  sent  out  his  arrows,  and  scattered  them ; 
and  he  shot  out  lightnings  and  discomfited  them. 

15  "Then  the  channels  of  water  were  seen,  and 
the  foundations  of  the  world  were  discovered  at  thy 
rebuke,  O  Lord,  at  the  blast  of  the  breath  of  thy 
nostrils. 

16  "He  sent  from  above,  he  took  me,  he  drew  me  out 
of  II  many  waters. 

17  He  delivered  me  from  my  strong  enemy,  and 
from  them  which  hated  me:  for  they  were  too  strong 
for  me. 

18  They  prevented  me  in  the  day  of  my  calamity :  but 
the  Lord  was  my  stay. 

19  "He  brought  me  forth  also  into  a  large  place;  he 
delivered  me,  because  he  delighted  in  me. 

20  «The  Lord  rewarded  me  according  to  my  righteous- 
ness ;  according  to  the  cleanness  of  my  hands  hath  he 
recompensed  me. 

21  For  I  have  kept  the  ways  of  the  Lord,  and  have 
not  wickedly  departed  from  my  God. 

22  For  all  his  judgments  were  before  me,  and  I  did  not 
put  away  his  statutes  from  me. 

23  I  was  also  upright  fbefore  him,  and  I  kept  myself 
from  mine  iniquity. 

24  "Therefore  hath  the  Lord  recompensed  me  accord- 
ing to  my  righteousness,  according  to  the  cleanness  of 
my  hands  fin  bis  eyesight. 

25  'With  the  merciful  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  mer- 
ciful ;  with  an  upright  man  thou  wilt  shew  thyself 
upright; 

26  With  the  pure  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  pure;  and 
•with  the  fro  ward  thou  wilt  jjshew  thyself  fro  ward.

spake  unto  the  Lord  the  words  of  this  song  in  the  day  that  tne  Lord 
delivered  him  from  the  hand  of  all  his  enemies,  and  from  the  hand  of 
Saul :  and  he  said, 

1 1  love  thee,  O  Lord,  my  strength. 

2  The  Lord  is  my  rock,  and  my  fortress,  and  my  deliverer ; 

My 'God,  my  strong  rock,  in  him  will  I  trust; 

My  shield,  and  the  horn  of  my  salvation,  my  high  tower. 
3 1  will  call  upon  the  Lord  who  is  worthy  to  be  praised : 

So  shall  I  be  saved  from  mine  enemies. 

4  The  cords  of  death  compassed  me, 

And  the  floods  of  ^ungodliness  made  me  afraid. 

5  The  cords  of  She'ol  were  round  about  me : 
The  snares  of  death  came  upon  me. 

6  In  my  distress  I  called  upon  the  Lord, 
And  cried  unto  my  God : 

He  heard  my  voice  out  of  his  temple, 
And  my  cry  before  him  came  into  his  ears. 

7  Then  the  earth  shook  and  trembled. 

The  foundations  also  of  the  mountains  moved 
And  were  shaken,  because  he  was  wroth. 

8  There  went  up  a  smoke  'out  of  his  nostrils, 
And  fire  out  of  his  mouth  devoured : 
Coals  were  kindled  by  it. 

9 He  bowed  the  heavens  also,  and  came  down; 
And  thick  darkness  was  under  his  feet. 
10 And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub,  and  did  fly: 

Yea,  he  flew  swiftly  upon  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

11  He  made  darkness  his  hiding  place,  his  pavilion  round 

about  him ; 
Darkness  of  waters,  thick  clouds  of  the  skies. 

1 2  At  the  brightness  before  him  his  thick  clouds  passed. 
Hailstones  and  coals  of  fire. 

13  The  Lord  also  thundered  in  the  heavens, 
And  the  Most  High  uttered  his  voice ; 
Hailstones  and  coals  of  fire. 

14 And  he  sent  out  his  arrows,  and  scattered  them; 
■•Yea,  lightnings  manifold,  and  discomfited  them. 

15  Then  the  channels  of  waters  appeared. 

And  the  foundations  of  the  world  were  laid  bare, 

At  thy  rebuke,  O  Lord, 

At  the  blast  of  the  breath  of  thy  nostrils. 

16  He  sent  from  on  high,  he  took  me ; 
He  drew  me  out  of  'many  waters. 

17  He  delivered  me  from  my  strong  enemy, 
And  from  them  that  hated  me. 

For  they  were  too  mighty  for  me. 

18  They  came  upon  me  in  the  day  of  my  calamity: 
But  the  Lord  was  my  stay. 

19 He  brought  me  forth  also  into  a  large  place; 

He  delivered  me,  because  he  delighted  in  me. 
20  The   Lord   rewarded   me  according  to    my  righteous- 
ness; 

According  to  the  cleanness  of  my  hands  hath  he  recom- 

fensed  me. 
have  kept  the  ways  of  the  Lord, 
And  have  not  wickedly  departed  from  my  Grod. 
22  For  all  his  judgements  were  before  me. 

And  I  put  not  away  his  statutes  from  me. 
23 1  was  also  perfect  with  him, 

And  I  kept  myself  from  mine  iniquity. 
24  Therefore  hath  the  Lord  recompensed  me  according  to 
my  righteousness. 
According  to  the  cleanness  of  my  hands  in  his  eyesight. 
25 With  the  merciful  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  merciful; 

With  the  perfect  man  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  perfect; 
26  With  the  pure  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  pure ; 

And  with  the  perverse  thou  wilt  shew  thyself  froward.

bring  down  "high  looks. 

28  ^For  thou  wilt  light  my  || candle:  the  Lord  my 
God  will  enlighten  my  darkness. 

29  For  by  thee  I  have  ||  run  through  a  troop;  and  by 
my  God  have  I  leaped  over  a  wall. 

30  As  for  God,  "his  way  is  perfect:  "the  word  of 
the  Lord  is  || tried:  he  is  a  buckler  "to  all  those  that 
trust  in  him. 

31  'For  who  is  God  save  the  Lord?  or  who  is  a  rock 
save  our  God? 

32  It  is  God  that  'girdeth  me  with  strength,  and 
maketh  my  way  perfect. 

33  ''He  maketh  my  feet  like  hinds'  feet,  and  'setteth 
me  upon  my  high  places. 

34  -''He  teacheth  my  hands  to  war,  so  that  a  bow  of 
steel  is  broken  by  mine  arms. 

35  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the  shield  of  thy  salva-

gentleness  hath  made  me  great. 

36  Thou  hast  enlarged  my  steps  under  me  "that 
f  my  feet  did  not  slip. 

37  I  have  pursued  mine  enemies,  and  overtaken  them : 
neither  did  I  turn  again  till  they  were  consumed. 

38  I  have  wounded  them  that  they  were  not  able  to 
rise :  they  are  fallen  under  my  feet. 

39  For  thou  hast  girded  me  with  strength  unto  the

40  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the  necks  of  mine  enemies ;

41  They  cried,  but  there  was  none  to  save  them:  ''even

PSAIvTvI  XIX. 

The  creatures  shew  God's  glory  ;  the  word,  his  grace. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

THE  "heavens   declare   the  glory  of  God;   and  the 
firmament  sheweth  his  handywork. 

2  Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech,  and  night  unto  night 
sheweth  knowledge. 

3  There  is  no  speech  nor  language,  \\j;where  their 
voice  is  not  heard. 

4  '11  Their  line  is  gone  out  through  all  the  earth,  and 
their  words  to  the  end  of  the  world.  In  them  hath  he 
set  a  tabernacle  for  the  sun, 

5  Which  is  as  a  bridegroom  coming  out  of  his 
chamber,  "and  rejoiceth  as  a  strong  man  to  run  a  race. 


27  For  thou  wilt  save  the  afflicted  people ; 
But  the  haughty  eyes  thou  wilt  bring  down. 

28  For  thou  wilt  light  my  lamp: 

The  Lord  my  God  will  lighten  my  darkness. 

29  For  by  thee  I  run  'upon  a  troop ; 
And  by  my  God  do  I  leap  over  a  wall. 

30  As  for  God,  his  way  is  perfect : 
The  word  of  the  Lord  is  tried ; 

He  is  a  shield  unto  all  them  that  trust  in  him. 

31  For  who  is  God,  save  the  Lord  ? 
And  who  is  a  rock,  beside  our  God  ? 

32  The  God  that  girdeth  me  with  strength, 
And  maketh  my  way  perfect. 

33  He  maketh  my  feet  like  hinds'  feet  : 
And  setteth  me  upon  ray  high  places. 

34 He  teacheth  my  hands  to  war; 

So  that  mine  arms  do  bend  a  bow  of  brass. 

35  Thpu  hast  also  given  me  the  shield  of  thy  salvation : 
And  thy  right  hand  hath  holden  me  up, 

And  thy  ^gentleness  hath  made  me  great. 

36  Thou  hast  enlarged  my  steps  under  me. 
And  my  ^feet  have  not  slipped. 

37 1  will  pursue  mine  enemies,  and  overtake  them : 
Neither  will  I  turn  again  till  they  are  consumed. 

38 1  will  smite  them  through  that  they  shall  not  be  able  to  rise : 
They  shall  fall  under  my  feet. 

39  For  thou  hast  girded  me  with  strength  unto  the  battle : 
Thou  hast  *subdued  under  me  those  that  rose  up  against 

me. 

40  Thou  hast  also  made  mine  enemies  turn  their  backs  unto 

me. 
That  I  might  cut  oflP  them  that  hate  me. 

41  They  cried,  but  there  was  none  to  save : 

Even  unto  the  Lord,  but  he  answered  them  not. 

42  Then  did  I  beat  them  small  as  the  dust  before  the  wind : 
I  did  'cast  them  out  as  the  mire  of  the  streets. 

43  Thou  hast  delivered  me  from  the  strivings  of  the  people  ; 
Thou  ^hast  made  me  the  head  of  the  nations : 

A  people  whom  I  have  not  known  shall  serve  me. 

44  As  soon  as  they  hear  of  me  they  shall  obey  me : 
The  strangers  shall  'submit  themselves  unto  me. 

45  The  strangers  shall  fade  away. 

And  shall  come  trembling  out  of  their  close  places. 
46 The  Lord  liveth;  and  blessed  be  my  rock; 
And  exalted  be  the  God  of  my  salvation : 

47  Even  the  God  that  executeth  vengeance  for  me, 
And  subdueth  peoples  under  me. 

48  He  rescueth  me  from  mine  enemies : 

Yea,  thou  liftest  me  up  above  them  that  rise  up  against  me : 
Thou  deliverest  me  from  the  violent  man. 

49  Therefore  I  will  give  thanks  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  among 

the  nations. 
And  will  sing  praises  unto  thy  name. 
50 Great  'deliverance  giveth  he  to  his  king; 
And  sheweth  lovingkindness  to  his  anointed, 
To  Da'vid  and  to  his  seed,  for  evermore. 

4-^  For  the  Chief  Musician,    A  Psalm  of  David.

6  His  going  forth  is  from  the  end  of  the  heaven, 
And  his  circuit  unto  the  ends  of  it : 

And  there  is  nothing  hid  from  the  heat  thereof. 

7  The  law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect,  restoring  the  soul : 
The  testimony  of  the   Lord  is  sure,  making  wise  the 

simple. 

8  The  precepts  of  the  Lord  are  right,  rejoicing  the  heart : 
The  commandment  of  the  LoRD    is  pure,  enlightening 

the  eyes. 

9  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean,  enduring  for  ever : 

The  judgements  of  the  Lord  are  true,  and  righteous 
altogether. 

10  More  to  be  desired  are  they  than  gold,  yea,  than  much 

fine  gold  : 
Sweeter  also  than  honey  and  Hhe  honeycomb. 

1 1  Moreover  by  them  is  thy  servant  warned : 
In  keeping  of  them  there  is  great  reward. 

12  Who  can  discern  his  errors? 
Clear  thou  me  from  hidden  faults. 

13 Keep  back  thy  servant  also  ^from  presumptuous  sins; 
Let  them  not  have  dominion  over  me :  then  shall  I  be 

perfect, 
And  I  shall  be  clear  from  great  transgression. 
14  Let  the  words  of  my  mouth  and  the  meditation  of  my 
heart  be  acceptable  in  thy  sight, 
O  Lord,  my  rock,  and  my  redeemer.

The  name  of  the  God  of  Ja'cob  set  thee  up  on  high ; 

2  Send  thee  help  from  the  sanctuary, 
And  'strengthen  thee  out  of  Zi'on ;

5  We  will  triumph  in  thy  ^salvation. 

And  in  the  name  of  our  God  we  will  set  up  our  banners 
The  Lord  fulfil  all  thy  petitions. 

6  Now  know  I  that  the  Lord  saveth  his  anointed ; 
He  will  answer  him  from  his  holy  heaven 
With  the  saving  strength  of  his  right  hand. 

7  Some  trust  in  chariots,  and  some  in  horses : 
But  we  will  make  mention  of  the  name  of  the  Lord  our

8They  are  bowed  down  and  fallen  :

And  in  thy  salvation  how  greatly  shall  he  rejoice ! 

2  Thou  hast  given  him  his  heart's  desire.

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  |  Aijeleth  Shahar,   A  Psalm  of  David. 

MY  "God,   my  God,   why   hast  thou  forsaken  me? 
why  art  thou  so  far  ffrom  helping  me,  and  from 
'the  words  of  my  roaring? 

2  O  my  God,  I  cry  in  the  daytime,  but  thou  hearest 
not;  and  in  the  night  season,  and  fam  not  silent. 

3  But  thou  art  holy,  0  thou  that  inhabitest  the

4  Our  fathers  trusted  in  thee :  they  trusted,  and  thou 
didst  deliver  them. 

5  They  cried  unto  thee,  and  were  delivered:  ''they 
trusted  in  thee,  and  were  not  confounded. 

6  But  I  am  'a.  worm,  and  no  man;  -^a  reproach  of

9  'But  thou  art  he  that  took  me  out  of  the  womb :

9  Thou  shalt  make  them  as  a  fiery  furnace  in  the  time  of 
thine  'anger. 
The  Lord  shall  swallow  them  up  in  his  wrath, 
And  the  fire  shall  devour  them.

FSAIvNI  XXIV. 

The  citizens  of  God^s  spiritual  kingdom, 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

THE  "earth  is  the  Loed's  and  the  fulness  thereof; 
the  world,  and  they  that  dwell  therein. 

2  'For  he  hath  founded  it  upon  the  seas,  and  estab- 
lished it  upon  the  floods. 

3  "Who  shall  ascend  into  the  hill  of  the  Loed?  and 
who  shall  stand  in  his  holy  place  ? 

4  ''fHe  that  hath  'clean  hands,  and  ^&  pure  heart; 
who  hath  not  lifted  up  his  soul  unto  vanity,  nor 
'sworn  deceitfully. 

5  He  shall  receive  the  blessing  from  the  Loed,  and 
righteousness  from  the  God  of  his  salvation. 

6  This  is  the  generation  of  them  that  seek  him,  that 
*seek  thy  face,  ||  O  Ja'cob.     Selah. 

7  'Lift  up  your  heads,  O  ye  gates ;  and  be  ye  lifted 
up,  ye  everlasting  doors ;  *and  the  King  of  glory  shall 
come  in. 

8  Who  is  this  King  of  glory  ?  the  Loed  strong  and 
mighty,  the  Loed  mighty  in  battle. 

9  Lift  up  your  heads,  O  ye  gates ;  even  lift  them,  up, 
ye  everlasting  doors;  and  the  King  of  glory  shall 
come  in. 

10  Who  is  this  King  of  glory?  the  Loed  of  hosts,  he 
it  the  King  of  glory.     Selah. 


24  For  he  hath  not  despised  nor  abhorred  the  affliction  of 

the  afflicted ; 
Neither  hath  he  hid  his  face  from  him ; 
But  when  he  cried  unto  him,  he  heard. 

25  Of  thee  cometh  my  praise  in  the  great  congregation : 
I  will  pay  my  vows  before  them  that  fear  him. 

26  The  meek  shall  eat  and  be  satisfied : 

They  shall  praise  the  Loed  that  seek  after  him : 
Let  your  heart  live  for  ever. 

27  All  the  ends  of  the  earth  shall  remember  and  turn  unto 

the  Lord  : 
And  all  the  kindreds  of  the  nations  shall  worship  before 
thee. 

28  For  the  kingdom  is  the  Loed's  : 
And  he  is  the  ruler  over  the  nations. 

29  All  the  fat  ones  of  the  earth  shall  eat  and  worship : 

All  they  that  go  down  to  the  dust  shall  bow  before  him. 
Even  he  that  cannot  keep  his  soul  alive. 

30  A  seed  shall  serve  him  ; 

'It  shall  be  told  of  the  Lord  unto  the  next  generation. 

31  They  shall  come  and  shall  declare  his  righteousness 
Unto  a  people  that  shall  be  born,  that  he  hath  done  it. 


A  Psalm  of  David. 


28 

1  The  Lord  is  my  shepherd ;  I  shall  not  want. 

2  He  maketh  me  to  lie  down  in  green  pastures 
He  leadeth  me  beside  the  ^still  waters. 

3  He  restoreth  my  soul : 
He  guideth  me  in  the  paths  of  righteousness  for  his  name's 

sake. 

4  Yea,  though  I  walk  through  the  valley  of  'the  shadow  of 

death, 
I  will  fear  no  evil;  for  thou  art  with  me: 
Thy  rod  and  thy  staif,  they  comfort  me. 

5  Thou  preparest  a  table  before  me  in  the   presence  of 

mine  enemies: 
Thou  hast  anointed  my  head  with  oil;  my  cup  runneth 
over. 

6  ^Surely  goodness  and  mercy  shall  follow  me  all  the  days 

of  my  life : 
And  I  will  dwell  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  'for  ever. 

J!i^  A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  The  earth  is  the  Lord's,  and  the  fulness  thereof; 
The  world,  and  they  that  dwell  therein. 

2  For  he  hath  founded  it  upon  the  seas. 
And  established  it  upon  the  floods. 

3  Who  shall  ascend  into  the  hill  of  the  Lord  ? 
And  who  shall  stand  in  his  holy  place? 

4  He  that  hath  clean  hands,  and  a  pure  heart ; 
Who  hath  not  lifted  up  his  soul  unto  vanity. 
And  hath  not  sworn  deceitfully. 

5  He  shall  receive  a  blessing  from  the  Lord, 

And  righteousness  from  the  God  of  his  salvation.

2  O  my  God,  I  'trust  in  thee :  let  me  not  be  ashamed, 
"let  not  mine  enemies  triumph  over  me. 

3  Yea,  let  none  that  wait  on  thee  be  ashamed:  let 
them  be  ashamed  which  transgress  without  cause. 

4  ''Shew  me  thy  ways,  O  Lokd  ;  teach  me  thy  paths. 

5  Lead  me  in  thy  truth,  and  teach  me:  for  thou

gressions :  "according  to  thy  mercy  remember  thou  me 
for  thy  goodness'  sake,  O  Lord. 

8  Good  and  upright  is  the  Lord:  therefore  will  he 
teach  sinners  in  the  way. 

9  The  meek  will  he  guide  in  judgment:  and  the  meek 
will  he  teach  his  way. 

10  All  the  paths  of  the  Lord  are  mercy  and  truth 
unto  such  as  keep  his  covenant  and  his  testimonies. 

11  *For  thy  name's  sake,  O  Lord,  pardon  mine 
iniquity ;  'for  it  is  great.

15  "Mine  eyes  are  ever  toward  the  Lord;  for  he  shall 
f  pluck  my  feet  out  of  the  net. 

16  "Turn  thee  unto  me,  and  have  mercy  upon  me;  for 
I  am  desolate  and  afflicted.

David  sustaineth  his  faith  by  the  power  of  God, 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

rpHE  Lord  is  "my  light  and  'my  salvation;  whom 
J-  shall  I  fear  ?  "the  Lord  is  the  strength  of  my  life  ; 
of  whom  shall  I  be  afraid  ? 

2  When  the  wicked,  even  mine  enemies  and  my  foes, 
fcame  upon  me  to  ''eat  up  my  flesh,  they  stumbled 
and  fell. 

3  'Though  a  host  should  encamp  against  me,  my 
heart  shall  not  fear :  though  war  should  rise  against  me, 
in  this  will  I  he  confident. 

4  ^One  thing  have  I  desired  of  the  Lord,  that  will  I 
seek  after ;  that  I  may  "dwell  in  the  house  of  the  Lord 
all  the  days  of  my  life,  to  behold  ||*the  beauty  of  the 
Lord,  and  to  inquire  in  his  temple. 

5  For  'in  the  time  of  trouble  he  shall  hide  me  in  his 
pavilion:  in  the  secret  of  his  tabernacle  shall  he  hide 
me ;  he  shall  *set  me  up  upon  a  rock. 

6  And  now  shall  'mine  head  be  lifted  up  above  mine 
enemies  round  about  me :  therefore  will  I  offer  in  his 
tabernacle  sacrifices  fof  joy ;  I  will  sing,  yea,  I  will 
sing  praises  unto  the  Lord.

mercy  also  upon  me,  and  answer  me. 

8  II  When  thou  saidst,  "Seek  ye  my  face;  my  heart

PSALNI  XXVIII. 

David  blessetk  God— He  prayeth  for  the  ptopU. 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

UNTO  thee  will  I  cry,  O  Lord  my  rock ;  "be  not 
silent  fto  me :  'lest,  if  thou  be  silent  to  me,  I  be- 
come like  them  that  go  down  into  the  pit. 

2  Hear  the  voice  of  my  supplications,  when  I  cry 
unto  thee,  "when  I  lift  up  my  hands  ||  ''toward  thy  holy 
oracle. 

3  'Draw  me  not  away  with  the  wicked,  and  with  the 
workers  of  iniquity,  ■'which  speak  peace  to  their  neigh- 
bours, but  mischief  is  in  their  hearts. 


9 'Gather  not  my  soul  with  sinners. 
Nor  my  life  with  men  of  blood : 

10  In  whose  hands  is  mischief, 
And  their  right  hand  is  full  of  bribes. 

11  But  as  for  me,  I  will  walk  in  mine  integrity : 
Redeem  me,  and  be  merciful  unto  me. 

12 My  foot  standeth  in  an  even  place: 

In  the  congregations  will  I  bless  the  Lord. 

^  /  A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  The  Lord  is  my  light  and  my  salvation ;  whom  shall  I  fear? 
The  Lord  is  the  ^strength  of  my  life ;  of  whom  shall  I 

be  afraid? 

2  When  evil-doers  came  upon  me  to  eat  up  my  flesh. 
Even  mine  adversaries  and  my  foes,  they  stumbled  and  fell. 

3  Though  an  host  should  encamp  against  me, 
My  heart  shall  not  fear: 

Though  war  should  rise  against  me, 
^Even  then  will  I  be  confident. 

4  One  thing  have  I  asked  of  the  Lord,  that  will  I  seek 

after ; 
That  I  may  dwell  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  all  the  days 

of  my  life. 
To  behold  ^the  beauty  of  the  Lord,  and  to  'inquire  in 

his  temple. 

5  For  in  the  day  of  trouble  he  shall  keep  me  secretly  in  his 

pavilion : 
In  the  covert  of  his  'tabernacle  shall  he  hide  me ; 
He  shall  lift  me  up  upon  a  rock. 

6  And  now  shall  mine  head  be  lifted  up  above  mine  enemies 

round  about  me ; 
And  I  will  offer  in  his  'tabernacle  sacrifices  of  ^joy ; 
I  will  sing,  yea,  I  will  sing  praises  unto  the  Lord. 

7  Hear,  O  Lord,  when  I  cry  with  my  voice : 
Have  mercy  al.so  upon  me,  and  answer  me, 

8  When  thou  saidst,  Seek  ye  my  face ;  my  heart  said  unto 

thee. 
Thy  face.  Lord,  will  I  seek. 

9  Hide  not  thy  face  from  me ; 

Put  not  thy  servant  away  in  anger : 
Thou  hast  been  my  help; 

Cast  me  not  off,  neither  forsake  me,  O  God  of  my  salvation. 
10*For  my  father  and  my  mother  have  forsaken  me. 
But  the  Lord  will  take  me  up. 

11  Teach  me  thy  way,  O  Lord; 
And  lead  me  in  a  plain  path, 
Because  of  ^mine  enemies. 

12  Deliver  me  not  over  unto  the  will  of  mine  adversaries : 
For  false  witnesses  are  risen  up  against  me,  and  such  as 

breathe  out  cruelty. 
1^  I  had  fainted,  unless  I  had  believed  to  see  the  goodness 
of  the  Lord 
In  the  land  of  the  living. 
14 Wait  on  the  Lord:

Yea,  wait  thou  on  the  Lord,

1  Unto  thee,  O  Lord,  will  I  call ; 
My  rock,  be  not  thou  deaf  unto  me :

I  become  like  them  that  go  down  into  the  pit,

David  praiseth  God  for  his  deliverance. 
A  Fsaltn  and  Song  '-^at  the  dedication  of  the  house  of  David. 

I  WILL  extol  thee,  O  Lord  ,  for  thou  hast  "lifted  me 
up,  and  hast  not  made  my  foes  to  'rejoice  over  me. 

2  O  Lord  my  God,  I  cried  unto  thee,  and  thou  hast 
''healed  me. 

3  O  Lord,  ''thou  hast  brought  up  my  soul  from  the 
grave :  thou  hast  kept  me  alive,  that  I  should  not  'go 
down  to  the  pit. 

4  ^Sing  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye  saints  of  his,  and  give 
thanks  ||at  the  remembrance  of  his  holiness. 

5  For  "this  anger  endureth  but  a  moment;  *in  his 
favour  is  life :  weeping  may  endure  ffor  a  night,  'but 
tjoy  Cometh  in  the  morning. 

6  And  *in  my  prosperity  I  said,  I  shall  never  be  moved. 

7  Lord,  by  thy  favour  thou  hast  fmade  my  mountain 
to  stand  strong:  'thou  didst  hide  thy  face,  and  I  was 
troubled. 

8  I  cried  to  thee,  O  Lord  ;  and  unto  the  Lord  I  made 
supplication. 

9  What  profit  is  there  in  my  blood,  when  I  go  down 
to  the  pit  ?  "Shall  the  dust  praise  thee  ?  shall  it  declare 
thy  truth? 

10  Hear,  O  Lord,  and  have  mercy  upon  me :  Lord, 
be  thou  my  helper. 


4  Give  them  according  to  their  work,  and  according  to  the 

wickedness  of  their  doings : 
Give  them  after  the  operation  of  their  hands ; 
Render  to  them  their  desert. 

5  Because  they  regard  not  the  works  of  the  Lord, 
Nor  the  operation  of  his  hands. 

He  shall  break  them  down  and  not  build  them  up. 

6  Blessed  be  the  Lord, 

Because  he  hath  heard  the  voice  of  my  supplications. 

7  The  Lord  is  my  strength  and  my  shield ; 

My  heart  hath  trusted  in  him,  and  I  am  helped : 
Therefore  my  heart  greatly  rejoiceth; 
And  with  my  song  will  I  praise  him. 

8  The  Lord  is  Hheir  strength, 

And  he  is  a  strong  hold  of  salvation  to  his  anointed. 

9  Save  thy  people,  and  bless  thine  inheritance : 
Feed  them  also,  and  bear  them  up  for  ever.

A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  Give  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye  ^sons  of  the  'mighty. 
Give  unto  the  Lord  glory  and  strength. 

2  Give  unto  the  Lord  the  glory  due  unto  his  name ; 
Worship  the  Lord  Hn  the  beauty  of  holiness. 

3 The  voice  of  the  Lord  is  upon  the  waters: 
The  God  of  glory  thundereth. 
Even  the  Lord  upon  'many  waters. 

4  The  voice  of  the  Lord  is  powerful ; 
The  voice  of  the  Lord  is  full  of  majesty. 

5  The  voice  of  the  Lord  breaketh  the  cedars ; 

Yea,  the  Lord  breaketh  in  pieces  the  cedars  of  Leb'a-non 

6  He  maketh  them  also  to  skip  like  a  calf; 
Leb'a-non  and  Sir'i-on  like  a  young  wild-ox. 

7  The  voice  of  the  Lord  ^cleaveth  the  flames  of  fire. 

8  The  voice  of  the  Lord  shaketh  the  wilderness; 
The  Lord  shaketh  the  wilderness  of  Ka'desh. 

9  The  voice  of  the  Lord  maketh  the  hinds  to  calve, 
And  strippeth  the  forests  bare  : 

And  in  his  temple  every  thing  saith.  Glory. 

10 The  Lord  sat  as  king  at  the  Flood; 

Yea,  the  Lord  sitteth  as  king  for  ever. 
11  The  Lord  will  give  strength  unto  his  people ; 

The  Lord  will  bless  his  people  with  peace. 

O  V     A  Psalm ;  a  Song  at  the  Dedication  of  the  House;  a  Psalm  of  David. 

1 1  will  extol  thee,  O  Lord;  for  thou  hast  'raised  me  up. 
And  hast  not  made  my  foes  to  rejoice  over  me. 

2  O  Lord  my  God, 

I  cried  unto  thee,  and  thou  hast  healed  me. 

3  O  Lord,  thou  hast  brought  up  ray  soul  from  She'ol : 
Thou  hast  kept  me  alive,  *that  I  should  not  go  down  to 

the  pit. 

4  Sing  praise  unto  the  Lord,  O  ye  saints  of  his. 
And  give  thanks  to  his  holy  *name.

PSALM    XXXI. 

David,  showing  his  confidence  in  God,  craveth  his  help. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

IN  "thee,  O  Lord,  do  I  put  my  trust ;  let  me  never 
be  ashamed :  ''deliver  me  in  thy  righteousness. 

2  °Bow  down  thine  ear  tp  Tue ;  deliver  me  speedily : 
be  thou  fmy  strong  rock,  for  a  house  of  defence  to 
save  me. 

3  "'For  thou  art  my  rock  and  my  fortress;  therefore 
'for  thy  name's  sake  lead  me,  and  guide  me. 

4  Pull  me  out  of  the  net  that  they  have  laid  privily 
for  me :  for  thou  art  my  strength. 

5  ■'^Into  thine  hand  I  commit  my  spirit :  thou  hast  re- 
deemed me,  O  Lord  God  of  truth. 

6  I  have  hated  them  "that  regard  lying  vanities :  but 
I  trust  in  the  Lord. 

7  I  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  thy  mercy:  for  thou 
hast  considered  my  trouble ;  thou  hast  *known  my  soul 
in  adversities; 

8  And  hast  not  'shut  me  up  into  the  hand  of  the  enemy : 
*thou  hast  set  my  feet  in  a  large  room. 

9  Have  mercy  upon  me,  O  Lord,  for  I  am  in  trouble : 
'mine  eye  is  consumed  with  grief,  yea,  my  soul  and 
my  belly.

14  But  I  trusted  in  thee,  O  Lord  :  I  said,  Thou  art

11  Thou  hast  turned  for  me  my  mourning  into  dancing; 
Thou  hast  loosed  my  sackcloth,  and  girded  me  with  glad 

ness; 

12  To  the  end  that  my  glory  may  sing  praise  to  thee,  and 

not  be  silent.

r)  I  For  the  Chief  Musician.    A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  In  thee,  O  LoRD,  do  I  put  my  trust ;  let  me  never  be 

ashamed : 
Deliver  me  in  thy  righteousness. 

2  Bow  down  thine  ear  unto  me ;  deliver  me  speedily : 
Be  thou  to  me  a  strong  rock,  an  house  of  'defence  to 

save  me. 

3  For  thou  art  my  rock  and  my  fortress ; 
Therefore  for  thy  name's  sake  lead  me  and  guide  me. 

4  Pluck  me  out  of  the  net  that  they  have  laid  privily  for  me ; 
For  thou  art  my  strong  hold. 

5 Into  thine  hand  I  commend  my  spirit: 

Thou  hast  redeemed  me,  O  Lord,  thou  God  of  truth. 
6  I  hate  them  that  regard  lying  vanities : 

But  I  trust  in  the  Lord. 
7 1  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  thy  mercy: 

For  thou  hast  seen  my  affliction ; 

Thou  hast  known  ^my  soul  in  adversities : 

8  And  thou   hast  not  shut  me  up  into  the  hand  of  the 

enemy ; 
Thou  hast  set  my  feet  in  a  large  place. 

9  Have  mercy  upon  me,  O  Lord,  for  I  am  in  distress : 
Mine  eye  wasteth  away  with  grief,  yea,  my  soul  and  my 

body. 

10  For  my  life  is  spent  with  sorrow,  and  my  years  with 

sighing :

I  said,  Thou  art  my  God. 

15 My  times  are  in  thy  hand: 

Deliver  me   from  the  hand  of  mine  enemies,  and  from

16  Make  thy  face  to  shine  upon  thy  servant: 
Save  me  in  thy  lovingkindness. 

17  Let  me  not  be  ashamed,  O  Lord;  for  I  have  called  upon 

thee : 
Let  the  wicked  be  ashamed,  let  them  be  silent  in  She'ol. 
18 Let  the  lying  lips  be  dumb;

Which  thou  ha.st  wrought  for  them  that  put  their  trust 
in  thee,  before  the  sons  of  men  !

PSALNI   XXXII. 

Confession  of  sins  giveth  ease  to  the  conscience. 
X'A  Psalm  of  David,  Maschil. 

BLESSED  is  Ae  whose  "transgression  is  forgiven,  whose 
sin  is  covered. 

2  Blessed  is  the  man  unto  whom  the  Lord  'imputeth 
not  iniquity,  and  ''in  whose  spirit  there  is  no  guile. 

3  When  I  kept  silence,  my  bones  waxed  old  through 
my  roaring  all  the  day  long. 

4  For  day  and  night  thy  "Tiand  was  heavy  upon  me : 
my  moisture  is  turned  into  the  drought  of  summer. 
Selah. 

5  I  acknowledged  my  sin  unto  thee,  and  mine  iniquity 
have  I  not  hid.  'I  said,  I  will  confess  my  transgres- 
sions unto  the  Lord  ;  and  thou  forgavest  the  iniquity 
of  my  sin.     Selah. 

6  •'^For  this  shall  every  one  that  is  godly  "pray  unto 
thee  fin  a  time  when  thou  mayest  be  found:  surely 
in  the  floods  of  great  waters  they  shall  not  come  nigh 
unto  him. 

7  ''Thou  art  my  hiding  place ;  thou  shalt  preserve  me 
from  trouble ;  thou  shalt  compass  me  about  with  'songs 
of  deliverance.     Selah. 

8  I  will  instruct  thee,  and  teach  thee  in  the  way 
which  thou  shalt  go :  \\  will  guide  thee  with  mine 
eye. 

9  *Be  ye  not  as  the  horse,  or  as  the  mule,  which  have 
'no  understanding :  whose  mouth  must  be  held  in  with 
bit  and  bridle,  lest  they  come  near  unto  thee. 

10  ""Many  sorrows  shall  be  to  the  wicked;  but  "he 
that  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  mercy  shall  compass  him 
about. 

11  °Be  glad  in  the  Lord,  and  rejoice,  ye  righteous: 
and  shout  for  joy,  all  ye  that  are  upright  in  heart. 

fsalm:  XXXIII. 

God  is  to  be  praised  for  his   goodness. 

REJOICE  "in  the  Lord,  O  ye  righteous :  for  'praise 
is  comely  for  the  upright. 

2  Praise  the  Lord  with  harp :  sing  unto  him  with  the 
psaltery  "and  an  instrument  of  ten  strings. 

3  ''Sing  unto  him  a  new  song ;  play  skilfully  with  a 
loud  noise. 

4  For  the  word  of  the  Lord  is  right ;  and  all  his  works 
are  done  in  truth. 

5  'He  loveth  righteousness  and  judgment:  -""the  earth 
is  full  of  the  1 1  goodness  of  the  Lord. 

6  "By  the  word  of  the  Lord  were  the  heavens  made ; 
and  *all  the  host  of  them  'by  the  breath  of  his  mouth. 

7  *He  gathereth  the  waters  of  the  sea  together  as  a 
heap :  he  layeth  up  the  depth  in  storehouses. 

8  Let  all  the  earth  fear  the  Lord  :  let  all  the  inhab- 
itants of  the  world  stand  in  awe  of  him. 

9  For  Tie  spake,  and  it  wasrfone;  he  commanded,  and 
it  stood  fast. 

10  "The  Lord  fbringeth  the  counsel  of  the  heathen 
to  nought :  he  maketh  the  devices  of  the  people  of 
none  effect. 

11  "'^he  counsel  of  the  Lord  standeth  for  ever,  the 
thoughts  of  his  heart  fto  all  generations. 


22  As  for  me,  I  said  in  my  'haste,  I  am  cut  off  from  before 

thine  eyes : 
Nevertheless  thou  heardest  the  voice  of  my  supplications 
when  I  cried  unto  thee. 

23  O  love  the  Lord,  all  ye  his  saints : 
The  Lord  preserveth  ^the  faithful. 

And  plentifully  rewardeth  the  proud  doer. 

24  Be  strong,  and  let  your  heart  take  courage, 
All  ye  that  'hope  in  the  Lord. 

tJA  ^  Psalm  of  David.    Maschil. 

1  Blessed  is  he  whose  transgression  is  forgiven,  whose  sin 

is  covered. 

2  Blessed  is  the  man  unto  whom  the  Lord  imputeth  not 

iniquity. 
And  in  whose  spirit  there  is  no  guile. 

3  When  I  kept  silence,  my  bones  waxed  old 
Through  my  roaring  all  the  day  long. 

4  For  day  and  night  thy  hand  was  heavy  upon  me : 

My  moisture  was  changed  *as  with  the  drought  of  sum- 
mer. [Selah 
51  acknowledged  my  sin  unto  thee,  and  mine  iniquity 
have  I  not  hid : 
I  said,  I  will  confess  my  transgressions  unto  the  Lord  ; 
And  thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my  sin.  [Selah 
6  For  this  let  every  on6  that  is  godly  pray  unto  thee  "in  a 
time  when  thou  mayest  be  found : 
Surely  when  the  great  waters  overflow  they  shall  not 
reach  unto  him. 
7 Thou  art  my  hiding  place;  thou  wilt  preserve  me  from 
trouble ; 
Thou   wilt  compass  me  about   with  songs  of  deliver 
ance.  [Selah 
8 1  will  instruct  thee  and  teach  thee  in  the  way  which  thou 
shalt  go : 
I  will  counsel  thee  with  mine  eye  upon  thee. 
9  Be  ye  not  as  the  horse,  or  as  the  mule,  which  have  no 
understanding : 
Whose  trappings  must  be  bit  and  bridle  to  hold  them  in, 
^Else  they  will  not  come  near  unto  thee. 

10  Many  sorrows  shall  be  to  the  wicked : 
But  he  that  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  mercy  shall  compass 

him  about. 

11  Be  glad  in  the  Lord,  and  rejoice,  ye  righteous: 
And  shout  for  joy,  all  ye  that  are  upright  in  heart. 

OO     Rejoice  in  the  Lord,  O  ye  righteous : 

Praise  is  comely  for  the  upright. 
2  Give  thanks  unto  the  Lord  with  harp: 

Sing  praises  unto  him  with  the  psaltery  of  ten  strings. 
3 Sing  unto  him  a  new  song; 

Play  skillfuly  with  a  loud  noise. 

4  For  the  word  of  the  Lord  is  right ; 
And  all  his  work  is  done  in  faithfulness. 

5  He  loveth  righteousness  and  judgement : 
The  earth  is  full  of  the  lovingkindness  of  the  Lord.

9  For  he  spake,  and  it  was  done ;

13  «The  Lord  looketh  from  heaven ;  he  beholdeth  all

4  I  "sought  the  Lord,  and  he  heard  me,  and  deliv-

22  The  Lord  ""redeemeth  the  soul  of  his  servants :

12  Blessed  is  the  nation  whose  God  is  the  Lord; 

The  people  whom  he  hath  chosen  for  his  own  inheritance. 
13 The  Lord  looketh  from  heaven; 

He  beholdeth  all  the  sons  of  men ; 

14  From  the  place  of  his  habitation  he  looketh  forth 
Upon  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  ; 

15  He  that  fashioneth  the  hearts  of  them  all. 
That  considereth  all  their  works. 

16  There  is  no  king  saved  by  'the  multitude  of  an  host : 
A  mighty  man  is  not  delivered  by  great  strength. 

17  An  horse  is  a  vain  thing  for  safety : 

Neither  shall  he  deliver  any  by  his  great  power. 

18  Behold,  the  eye  of  the  Lord  is  upon  them  that  fear  him. 
Upon  them  that  ^hope  in  his  mercy ; 

19  To  deliver  their  soul  from  death. 
And  to  keep  them  alive  in  famine. 

20 Our  soul  hath  waited  for  the  Lord: 
He  is  our  help  and  our  shield. 

21  For  our  heart  shall  rejoice  in  him, 
Because  we  have  trusted  in  his  holy  name. 

22  Let  thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  be  upon  us. 
According  as  we  %ave  hoped  in  thee. 

^A      A  Psalm  of  David  ;  when  he  ^changed  his  behaviour  before  Abimelech,

30  magnify  the  Lord  with  me.

And  delivered  me  from  all  my  fears. 

5  They  looked  unto  him,  and  were  lightened : 
And  their  faces  s^all  never  be  confounded. 

6  This  poor  man  cried,  and  the  Lord  heard  him. 
And  saved  him  out  of  all  his  troubles. 

7  The  angel  of  the  Lord  encampeth  round  about  them  that

David  prayeth  for  his  own  safety,  and  his  enemies*  confusion. 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

PLEAD  "my  cause,  O  IjOed,  with  them  that  strive 
with  me :  'fight  against  them  that  fight  against  me. 

2  "Take  hold  of  shield  and  buckler,  aad  stand  up  for 
mine  help. 

3  Draw  out  also  the  spear,  and  stop  the  way  against 
them  that  persecute  me :  say  unto  my  soul,  I  am  thy 
salvation. 

4  ''Let  them  be  confounded  and  put  to  shame  that 
seek  after  my  soul:  let  them  be  "turned  back  and 
brought  to  confusion  that  devise  my  hurt. 

5  ■'^Let  them  be  as  chaff  before  the  wind :  and  let  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  chase  them. 

6  Let  their  way  be  f'dark  and  slippery:  and  let  the 
angel  of  the  Loed  persecute  them. 

7  For  without  cause  have  they  'hid  for  me  their  net 
in  a  pit,  which  without  cause  they  have  digged  for  my 
soul. 

8  Let  'destruction  come  upon  him  fat  unawares ; 
and  *]et  his  net  that  he  hath  hid  catch  himself:  into 
that  very  destruction  let  him  fall. 

9  And  my  soul  shall  be  joyful  in  the  LoKD :  'it  shall 
rejoice  in  his  salvation. 

10  ""All  my  bones  shall  say,  Loed,  "who  is  like  unto 
thee,  which  deliveres£  the  poor  from  him  that  is  too 
strong  for  him,  yea,  the  poor  and  the  needy  from  him 
that  spoileth  him? 

11  f  False  witnesses  did  rise  up;  fthey  laid  to  my 
charge  things  that  I  knew  not. 

12  "They  rewarded  me  evil  for  good  to  the  fspoiling 
of  my  soul. 

13  But  as  for  me,  "when  they  were  sick,  my  clothing 
was  sackcloth:  I  ||  humbled  my  soul  with  fasting;  'and 
my  prayer  returned  into  mine  own  bosom. 

14  I  fbehaved  myself  fas  though  he  had  been  my 
friend  or  brother :  I  bowed  down  heavily,  as  one  that 
mourneth/or  his  mother. 

15  But  in  mine  fadversity  they  rejoiced,  and  gathered 
themselves  together :  yea,  'the  abjects  gathered  them- 
selves together  against  me,  and  I  knew  it  not ;  they  did 
'tear  me,  and  ceased  not : 

16  With  hypocritical  mockers  in  feasts,  "they  gnashed 
upon  me  with  their  teeth. 

17  Lord,  how  long  wilt  thou  "look  on?  rescue  my 
soul  from  their  destructions,  t''my  darling  from  the 
lions. 

18  'I  will  give  thee  thanks  in  the  great  congregation: 
I  will  praise  thee  among  fmuch  people. 

19  "Let  not  them  that  are  mine  enemies  fwrongfully 
rejoice  over  me :  neither  'let  them  wink  with  the  eye 
'that  hate  me  without  a  cause. 

20  For  they  speak  not  peace :  but  they  devise  de- 
ceitful matters  against  them  that  are  quiet  in  the 
land. 

21  Yea,  they  ''opened  their  mouth  wide  against  me, 
and  said,  "Aha,  aha,  our  eye  hath  seen  it. 

22  This  thou  hast  -^seen,  O  Lord  :  'keep  not  silence : 
O  Lord,  be  not  ''far  from  me. 

23  'Stir  up  thyself,  and  awake  to  my  judgment,  even

24  *Judge  me,  O  Lord  my  God,  'according  to  thy 
righteousness ;  and  ""let  them  not  rejoice  over  me. 

25  "Let  them  not  say  in  their  hearts,  fAh,  so  would

2  Take  hold  of  shield  and  buckler, 
And  stand  up  for  mine  help. 

3  Draw  out  also  the  spear,  'and  stop  the  way  against  them

PSALNl   XXXVI. 

The  grievous  state  of  the  wicked. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David  the  servant  of  the  Lord. 

rpHE  transgression  of  the  wicked  saith   within   my 
-L    heart,  that  "there  is  no  fear  of  God  before  his  eyes. 

2  For  'he  flattereth  himself  in  his  own  eyes,  funtil 
his  iniquity  be  found  to  be  hateful. 

3  The  words  of  his  mouth  are  iniquity,  and  "deceit: 
''he  hath  left  off  to  be  wise,  and  to  do  good. 

4  "He  deviseth  ||  mischief  upon  his  bed ;  he  setteth  him- 
self-'^in  a  way  that  is  not  good ;  he  abhorreth  not  evil. 

5  "Thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  is  in  the  heavens;  and  thy 
faithfulness  reacheth  unto  the  clouds. 

6  Thy  righteousness  is  like  fthe  great  mountains; 
thy  judgments  are  a  great  deep:  O  Lord,  'thou  pre- 

servest  man  and  beast. 

7  *How  fexcellent  is  thy  lovingkindness,  O  God! 
therefore  the  children  of  men  'put  their  trust  under  the 
shadow  of  thy  wings. 

"They  shall  be  fabundantly  satisfied  with  the  fatness 
of  thy  house ;  and  thou  shalt  make  them  drink  of  "the 
river  "of  thy  pleasures. 

9  "For  with  thee  is  the  fountain  of  life :  'in  thy  light 
shall  we  see  light. 

10  O  fcontinue  thy  lovingkindness  'unto  them  that 
know  thee;  and  thy  righteousness  to  the  'upright  in 
heart. 

.  11  Let  not  the  foot  of  pride  come  against  me,  and  let 
not  the  hand  of  the  wicked  remove  me. 

12  There  are  the  workers  of  iniquity  fallen:  they  are 
cast  down,  'and  shall  not  be  able  to  rise. 

psalm:  XXXVII. 

David  persuadeth  to  patience  and  confidence  in  God. 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

FRET  "not  thyself  because  of  evil  doers,  neither  be 
thou  envious  against  the  workers  of  iniquity. 

2  For  they  shall  soon  be  cut  down  ''like  the  grass,  and 
wither  as  the  green  herb. 

3  Trust  in  the  Lord,  and  do  good ;  so  shalt  thou  dwell 
in  the  land,  and  f  verily  thou  shalt  be  fed. 

4  "Delight  thyself  also  in  the  Lord  ;  and  he  shall  give 
thee  the  desires  of  thine  heart. 

5  fCoramit  thy  way  unto  the  Lord  ;  trust  also  in  him ; 
and  he  shall  bring  it  to  pass. 

6  'And  he  shall  bring  forth  thy  righteousness  as  the 
light,  and  thy  judgment  as  the  noonday. 

7  ^fRest  in  the  Lord,  "and  wait  patiently  for  him : 
'■fret  not  thyself  because  of  him  who  prospereth  in  his 
way,  because  of  the  man  who  bringeth  wicked  devices 
to  pass. 

8  Cease  from  auger,  and  forsake  wrath :  'fret  not  thy- 
self in  any  wise  to  do  evil. 

9  *For  evil  doers  shall  be  cut  off:  but  those  that  wait 
upon  the  Lord,  they  shall  'inherit  the  earth. 

10  For  ""vet  a  little  while,  and  the  wicked  shaVL  not 
be:  yea,  "thou  shalt  diligently  consider  his  place,  and 
it  shall  not  he. 

11  "But  the  meek  shall  inherit  the  earth;  and  shall 
delight  themselves  in  the  abundance  of  peace. 


26  Let  them  be  ashamed  and  confounded  together  that  re- 

joice at  mine  hurt: 
Let  them   be   clothed   with   shame  and  dishonour  that 
magnify  themselves  against  me. 

27  Let  them  shout  for  joy,  and  be  glad,  that  'favour  my 

righteous  cause : 
Yea,  let  them  say  continually.  The  Lord  be  magnified, 
Which  hath  pleasure  in  the  prosperity  of  his  servant. 

28  And  my  tongue  shall  talk  of  thy  righteousness, 
And  of  thy  praise  all  the  day  long. 

£)Q     For  the  Chief  Musician.    A  Psalm  of  David  the  servant  of  the  Lord. 

1  ^The  transgression  of  the  wicked  'saith  within  *my  heart, 
There  is  no  fear  of  God  before  his  eyes. 

2  For  'he  flattereth  himself  in  his  own  eyes, 

^That  his  iniquity  shall  not  be  found  out  and  be  hated, 

3  The  words  of  his  mouth  are  iniquity  and  deceit : 
He  hath  left  off  to  be  wise  and  to  do  good. 

4 He  deviseth  iniquity  upon  his  bed; 
He  setteth  himself  in  a  way  that  is  not  good ; 
He  abhorreth  not  evil. 

5 Thy  lovingkindness,  O  Lord,  is  in  the  heavens; 
Thy  faithfulness  reacheth  unto  the  skies. 

6  Thy  righteousness  is  like  the  mountains  of  God ; 
Thy  judgements  are  a  great  deep: 

O  Lord,  thou  preservest  man  and  beast. 

7  How  precious  is  thy  lovingkindness,  O  God! 

And  the  children  of  men  take  refuge  under  the  shadow 
of  thy  wings. 

8  They  shall  be  ''abundantly  satisfied  with  the  fatness  of 

.  thy  house; 

And   thou  shalt   make  them  drink  of  the  river  of  thy 
pleasures. 

9  For  with  thee  is  the  fountain  of  life : 
In  thy  light  shall  we  see  light. 

10  O  continue  thy  lovingkindness  unto  them  that  know  thee ; 
And  thy  righteousness  to  the  upright  in  heart. 

11  Let  not  the  foot  of  pride  come  against  me, 

And  let  not  the  hand  of  the  wicked  drive  me  away. 

12  There  are  the  workers  of  iniquity  fallen  : 

They  are  thrust  down,  and  shall  not  be  able  to  rise. 

rtV  ^  Psalm  of  David. 

1  Fret  not  thyself  because  of  evil-doers. 

Neither  be  thou  envious  against  them  that  work  unright' 
eousness. 

2  For  they  shall  soon  be  cut  down  like  the  grass, 
And  wither  as  the  green  herb. 

3  Trust  in  the  Lord,  and  do  good ; 

'Dwell  in  the  land,  and  'follow  after  faithfulness. 

4  '"Delight  thyself  also  in  the  Lord  ; 

And  he  shall  give  thee  the  "desires  of  thine  heart. 
5 '^Commit  thy  way  unto  the  Lord; 
Trust  also  in  him,  and  he  shall  bring  it  to  pass. 

6  And  he  shall  make  thy  righteousness  to  go  fortn  as  the  light. 
And  thy  judgement  as  the  noonday. 

7  ''Rest  in  the  Lord,  and  wait  patiently  for  him : 

Fret  not  thyself  because  of  him  who  prospereth  in  his  way 
Because  of  the  man  who  bringeth  wicked  devices  to  pass. 

8  Cease  from  anger,  and  forsake  wrath : 
Fret  not  thyself,  it  tendeth  only  to  evil-doing. 

9  For  evil-doers  shall  be  eut  off: 
But  those  that  wait  upoQt  the  Lord,  they  shall  inherit 

'Hhe  land. 
10 For  yet  a  little  while,  and  the  wicked  shall  not  be: 
Yea,  thou   shalt  diligently  consider  his  place,  and  "he 
shall  not  be. 
11  But  the  meek  shall  inherit  the  land; 

And  shall  delight  themselves  in  the  abundance  of  peace.

15  "Their  sword  shall  enter  into  their  own  heart,  and

16  'A  little  that  a  righteous  man  hath  is  better  than

PSALIVI  XXXVIII. 

David  moveth  God  to  take  compassion  of  his  pitiful  case. 
A  Psalm  of  David,  "to  bring;  to  remembrance. 

O'LORD,    rebuke  me   not  in   thy   wrath:    neither 
chasten  me  in  thy  hot  displeasure. 

2  For  Hhine  arrows  stick  fast  in  me,  and  "^hy  hand 
presseth  me  sore. 

3  Thert  is  no  soundness  in  my  flesh  because  of  thine 
anger ;  ''neither  is  tJiere  any  frest  in  my  bones  because 
of  my  sin. 

4  For  'mine  iniquities  are  gone  over  mine  head :  as  a 
heavy  burden  they  are  too  ^heavy  for  me. 

5  My  wounds  stink  and  are  corrupt  because  of  my 
foolishness. 

6  I  am  ftroubled;  "I  am  bowed  down  greatly;  *I  go 
mourning  all  the  day  long. 

7  For  my  loins  are  filled  with  a  'loathsome  disease  : 
and  there  is  *no  soundness  in  my  flesh. 

8  I  am  feeble  and  sore  broken :  'I  have  roared  by 
reason  of  the  disquietness  of  my  heart. 

9  Lord,  all  my  desire  is  before  thee ;  and  my  groaning 
is  not  hid  from  thee. 

10  My  heart  panteth,  my  strength  faileth  me :  as  for 
"the  light  of  mine  eyes,  it  also  fis  gone  from  me. 

11  "My  lovers  and  my  friends  "stand  aloof  from  my 
fsore;  and  ||my  kinsmen  "stand  afar  off". 

12  They  also  that  seek  after  my  life  'lay  snares  for 
me:  and  they  that  seek  my  hurt  ""speak  mischievous 
things,  and  'imagine  deceits  all  the  day  long. 

13  But  'I,  as  a  deaf  man,  heard  not;  "and  /  was  as  a 
dumb  man  thai  openeth  not  his  mouth. 

14  Thus  I  was  as  a  man  that  heareth  not,  and  in 
whose  mouth  are  no  reproofs. 

15  For  II in  thee,  O  Lord,  "'do  I  hope:  thou  wilt 
II  hear,  O  Lord  my  God. 

16  For  I  said.  Hear  me,  "lest  otherwise  they  should 
rejoice  over  me :  when  my  'foot  slippeth,  they  "magnify 
themselves  against  me. 

17  For  I  am  ready  fto  halt,  and  my  sorrow  is  con- 
tinually before  me. 

18  For  I  will  ""declare  mine  iniquity;  I  will  be  "sorry 
for  my  sin. 

19  But  mine  enemies  t*^*"^  lively,  and  they  are 
strong:  and  they  that  ''hate  me  wrongfully  are  mul- 
tiplied. 

20  They  also  "that  render  evil  for  good  are  mine  ad- 
versaries; '^because  I  follow  the  thing  that  good  is. 

21  Forsake  me  not,  O  Lord  :  O  my  God,  "be  not  fer 
from  me. 

22  Make  haste  fto  help  me,  O  Lord  *my  salvation. 

i^salm;  XXXIX. 

David's  care  of  his  thoughts,  and  prayer. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  even  to  *Jeduthun,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

I  SAID,  I  will  "take  heed  to  my  ways,  that  I  sin  not 
with  my  tongue:  I  will  keep  f'va^  mouth  with  a 
bridle,  "^while  the  wicked  is  before  me. 

2  ''I  was  dumb  with  silence;  I  held  my  peace,  even 
from  good ;  and  my  .sorrow  was  fstirred. 

3  My  heart  was  hot  within  me;  while  I  was  musing 
"the  fire  burned :  then  spake  I  with  my  tongue, 

4  Lord,  ■''make  me  to  know  mine  end,  and  the  meas- 
ure of  my  days,  what  it  is;  that  I  may  know  ||how 
frail  I  am, 

5  Behold,  thou  hast  made  my  days  as  a  hand- 
breadth;  and  'mine  age  is  as  nothing  before  thee: 
*verily  every  man  fat  his  best  state  is  altogether  van- 
ity.    Selah. 


QQ  A  Psalm  of  David,  'to  bring;  to  remembrance. 

1 0  Lord,  rebuke  me  not  in  my  wrath : 
Neither  chasten  me  in  thy  hot  displeasure. 

2  For  thine  arrows  ^stick  fast  in  me. 
And  thy  hand  ^presseth  me  sore. 

3  There  is  no   soundness   in   my   flesh  because   of  thine 

indignation : 
Neither  is  there   any  'health  in  my  bones   be«ause  of 
my  sin. 

4  For  mine  iniquities  are  gone  over  mine  head : 
As  an  heavy  burden  they  are  too  heavy  for  me. 

5  My  wounds  stink  and  are  corrupt. 
Because  of  my  foolishness. 

6 1  am  *pained  and  bowed  down  greatly ; 

I  go  mourning  all  the  day  long. 
7  For  my  loins  are  filled  with  burning; 

And  there  is  no  soundness  in  my  flesh. 
8 1  am  faint  and  sore  bruised : 

I  have  roared  by  reason  of  the  disquietness  of  my  heart. 
9  Lord,  all  my  desire  is  before  thee ; 

And  my  groaning  is  not  hid  from  thee. 

10  My  heart  throbbeth,  my  strength  faileth  me : 

As  for  the  light  of  mine  eyes,  it  also  is  gone  from  me. 

11  My  lovers  and  my  friends  stand  aloof  from  my  plague; 
And  my  kinsme.!  stand  afar  off". 

12  They  also  that  seek  after  my  life  lay  snares /or  me; 
And  they  that  seek  my  hurt  speak  mischievous  things, 
And  imagine  deceits  all  the  day  long. 

13 But  I,  as  a  deaf  man,  hear  not; 

And  I  am  as  a  dumb  man  that  openeth  not  his  mouth. 

14  Yea,  I  am  as  a  man  that  heareth  not. 
And  in  whose  mouth  are  no  'reproofs. 

15  For  in  thee,  O  Lord,  do  I  hope : 
Thou  wilt  answer,  O  Lord  my  God. 

16  For  I  said.  Lest  they  rejoice  over  me : 
When    my    foot    slippeth,    they     magnify     themselves 

against  me. 

17  For  I  am  ready  to  halt. 
And  my  sorrow  is  continually  before  me. 

18 For  I  will  declare  mine  iniquity; 

I  will  be  sorry  for  my  sin. 
19 But  mine  enemies  are  lively,  and  are  strong: 

And  they  that  hate  me  ^wrongfully  are  multiplied. 

20  They  also  that  render  evil  for  good 
Are  adversaries  unto  me,  because  I  follow  the  thing  that

PSALM    XL. 

The  benefit  o/ confidence  in  God — Obedience  is  the  best  sacrifice. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  a  Psaljn  of  David. 

It^WAITED  patiently  for  the  Lord  ;  and  he  inclined 
unto  me,  and  heard  my  cry. 

2  He  brought  me  up  also  out  of  fa  horrible  pit,  out 
of  'the  miry  clay,  and  "set  my  feet  upon  a  rock,  and 
''established  my  goings. 

3  'And  he  hath  put  a  new  song  in  my  mouth,  even 
praise  unto  our  God :  -^many  shall  see  it,  and  fear,  and 
shall  trust  in  the  Lord. 

4  "Blessed  is  that  man  that  maketh  the  Lord  his  trust, 
and  ''respecteth  not  the  proud,  nor  such  as  'turn  aside 
to  lies. 

5  *Many,  O  Lord  my  God,  are  thy  wonderful  works 
which  thou  hast  done,  'and  thy  thoughts  which  are  to 
us-ward:  ||they  cannot  be  reckoned  up  in  order  unto 
thee :  if  I  would  declare  and  speak  of  them,  they  are 
more  than  can  be  numbered. 

6  ""Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  didst  not  desire;  mine 
ears  hast  thou  fopened :  burnt  offering  and  sin  offering 
hast  thou  not  required. 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come :  in  the  volume  of  the  book 
it  is  "written  of  me,

10  'I  have  not  hid  thy  righteousness  within  my  heart ; 
I  have  declared  thy  faithfulness  and  thy  salvation :  I 
have  not  concealed  thy  lovingkindness  and  thy  truth 
from  the  great  congregation. 

11  Withhold  not  thou  thy  tender  mercies  from  me, 
O  Lord:  "let  thy  lovingkindness  and  thy  truth  con- 
tinually preserve  me. 

12  For  innumerable  evils  have  compassed  me  about: 
*mine  iniquities  have  taken  hold  upon  me,  so  that  I  am 
not  able  to  look  up ;  they  are  more  than  the  hairs  of 
mine  head :  therefore  "my  heart  ffeileth  me. 

13  'Be  pleased,  O  Lord,  to  deliver  me:  O  Lord, 
make  haste  to  help  me. 

14  "Let  them  be  ashamed  and  confounded  together 
that  seek  after  my  soul  to  destroy  it;  let  them  be 
driven  backward  and  put  to  shame  that  wish  me

PSALM    XLIV. 

7%tf  church  complaineth  of  her  present  evils. 
To  the  chief  Musician  for  the  sons  of  Korah,  Maschil. 

WE  have  heard  with  our  ears,  O  God,  "otir  fathers 
have  told  us,  what  work  thou  didst  in  their  days, 
in  the  times  of  old. 

2  How  'thou  didst  drive  out  the  heathen  with  thy 
hand,  and  plantedst  them ;  haw  thou  didst  aflBict  the 
people,  and  ca.st  them  out. 

3  For  "they  got  not  the  land  in  possession  by  their 
own  sword,  neither  did  their  own  arm  save  them : 
but  thy  right  hand,  and  thine  arm,  and  the  light  of 
thy  countenance,  ''because  thou  hadst  a  favour  unto 
them. 

4  'Thou  art  my  King,  O  God :  command  deliverances 
for  Ja'cob. 

5  Through  thee  ■''will  we  push  down  our  enemies: 
through  thy  name  will  We  tread  them  under  that  rise 
up  against  us. 

6  For  "I  will  not  trust  in  my  bow,  neither  shall  my 
sword  save  me. 

7  But  thou  hast  saved  us  from  our  enemies,  and  hast 
''put  them  to  shame  that  hated  us. 

8  'In  God  we  boast  all  the  day  long,  and  praise  thy 
name  for  ever.     Selah. 

9  But  *thou  hast  cast  off,  and  put  us  to  shame ;  and 
goest  not  forth  with  our  armies. 

10  Thou  makest  us  to  'turn  back  from  the  enemy: 
and  they  which  hate  us  spoil  for  themselves. 

11  "'Thou  hast  given  us  flike  sheep  appointed  for 
meat ;  and  hast  "scattered  us  among  the  heathen. 

12  "Thou  sellest  thy  people  ffor  nought,  and  dost  not 
increase  thy  wealth  by  their  price. 

13  pThou  makest  us  a  reproach  to  our  neighbours,  a 
scorn  and  a  derision  to  them  that  are  round  about  us. 

14  'Thou  makest  us  a  'byword  among  the  heathen, 
I'a  shaking  of  the  head  among  the  people. 


8  Yet  the  Lord  will  command  his  lovingkindness  in  the 
day-time. 

And  in  the  night  his  song  shall  be  with  me, 

Even  a  prayer  unto  the  God  of  my  life. 
9 1  will  say  unto  God  my  rock,  Why  hast  thou  forgotten  me? 

Why  go  I  mourning,  because  of  the  oppression  of  the

And  why  art  thou  disquieted  within  me? 
Hope  thou  in  God :  for  I  shall  yet  praise  him. 
Who  is  the  'health  of  my  countenance,  and  my  God. 

^v  Judge  me,  O  God,  and  plead  my  cause  against  an  un- 
godly nation  : 
O  deliver  me  from  the  deceitful  and  unjust  man. 

2  For  thou  art  the  God  of  my  strength ;  why  hast  thou 

cast  me  off? 
Why  go  I  mourning  'because   of  the  oppression  of  the 
enemy? 

3  O  send  out  thy  light  and  thy  truth ;  let  them  lead  me : 
Let  them  bring  me  unto  thy  holy  hill, 

And  to  thy  tabernacles. 

4  Then  will  I  go  unto  the  altar  of  God, 
Unto  God  *my  exceeding  joy  : 

And  upon  the  harp  will  I  praise  thee,  O  God,  my  God. 

5  Why  art  thou  cast  down,  O  my  soul  ? 
And  why  art  thou  disquieted  within  me  ? 
Hope  thou  in  God :  for  I  shall  yet  praise  him.

Thou  didst  afflict  the  peoples,  and  Midst  spread  them

Arise,  cast  us  not  off  for  ever. 

24  Wherefore  hidest  thou  thy  face.

PSALM    XIvIX. 

Worldly  prosperity  is  not  to  be  admired. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  |  for  the  sons  of  Korah. 

HEAR  this,  all  ye  people ;  give  ear,  all  ye  inhabit- 
ants of  the  world : 

2  Both  "low  and  high,  rich  and  poor,  together. 

3  My  mouth  shall  speak  of  wisdom ;  and  the  medita- 
tion of  my  heart  shall  be  of  understanding. 

4  'I  will  incline  mine  ear  to  a  parable:  I  will  open 
my  dark  saying  upon  the  harp. 

5  Wherefore  should  I  fear  in  the  days  of  evil,  when 
'\he  iniquity  of  my  heels  shall  compass  me  about  ? 

6  They  that  ''trust  in  their  wealth,  and  boast  them- 
selves in  the  multitude  of  their  riches ; 

7  None  of  them  can  by  any  means  redeem  his  brother, 
nor  'give  to  God  a  ransom  for  him : 

8  (For  -^the  redemption  of  their  soul  is  precious,  and  it 
ceaseth  for  ever:) 

9  That  he  should  still  live  for  ever,  and  "not  see  cor- 
ruption. 

10  For  he  seeth  that  *wise  men  die,  likewise  the  fool 
and  the  brutish  person  perish,  'and  leave  their  wealth 
to  others. 

11  Their  inward  thought  is,  that  their  houses  shall 
continue  for  ever,  and  their  dwellingplaces  fto  all 
generations;  they  *call  their  lands  after  their  own 
names. 

12  Nevertheless  'man  being  in  honour  abideth  not: 
he  is  like  the  beasts  that  perish. 

13  This  their  way  is  their  ""folly :  yet  their  posterity 
fapprove  their  sayings.     Selah. 

14  Like  sheep  they  are  laid  in  the  grave ;  death  shall 
feed  on  them ;  and  "the  upright  shall  have  dominion 
over  them  in  the  morning;  "and  their  || beauty  shall 
consume  ||in  the  grave  from  their  dwelling. 

15  But  God  "will  redeem  my  soul  ffrom  the  power 
of  II the  grave:  for  he  shall  receive  me.     Selah. 

16  Be  not  thou  afraid  when  one  is  made  rich,  when 
the  glory  of  his  house  is  increased ; 

17  'For  when  he  dieth  he  shall  carry  nothing  away: 
his  glory  shall  not  descend  after  him. 

18  Though  fwhile  he  lived  ""he  blessed  his  soul, 
(and  men  will  praise  thee,  when  thou  doest  well  to  thy- 
self,) 

19  fHe  shall  'go  to  the  generation  of  his  fathers; 
they  shall  never  see  'light. 

20  "Man  that  is  in  honour,  and  understandeth  not,  "is 
like  the  beasts  that  perish. 


8  As  we  have  heard,  so  have  we  seen 

In  the  city  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  in  the  city  of  our  God : 
God  will  establish  it  forever.  [Selah 

9  We  have  thought  on  thy  lovingkindness,  O  God, 
In  the  midst  of  thy  temple. 

10  As  is  thy  name,  O  God, 

So  is  thy  praise  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth: 
Thy  right  hand  is  full  of  righteousness. 

11  Let  mount  Zi'on  be  glad, 

Let  the  daughters  of  Ju'dah  rejoice, 
Because  of  thy  judgements. 

12  Walk  about  Zi'on,  and  go  round  about  her: 
Tell  the  towers  thereof. 

13  Mark  ye  well  her  bulwarks, 
'Consider  her  palaces; 

That  ye  may  tell  it  to  the  generation  following. 

14  For  this  God  is  our  God  for  ever  and  ever: 
He  will  be  our  guide  even  ^unto  death. 

^\j  For  the  Chief  Musician ;  a  Psalm  of  the  sons  of  Korah. 

1  Hear  this,  all  ye  peoples ; 

Give  ear,  all  ye  inhabitants  of  the  world : 

2  Both  low  and  high. 
Rich  and  poor  together, 

3  My  mouth  shall  speak  wisdom ; 

And  the  meditation  of  my  heart  shall  be  of  understand- 
ing. 
4 1  will  incline  mine  ear  to  a  parable : 
I  will  open  my  dark  saying  upon  the  harp. 

5  Wherefore  should  I  fear  in  the  days  of  evil. 
When  ^iniquity  at  my  heels  compasseth  me  about  ? 

6  They  that  trust  in  their  wealth. 
And  boast  themselves  in  the  multitude  of  their  riches; 

7  None  of  them  can  by  any  means  redeem  his  brother. 
Nor  give  to  God  a  ransom  for  him : 

8  (For  the  redemption  of  their  soul  is  costly, 
And  must  be  let  alone  for  ever :) 

9  That  he  should  still  live  alway. 
That  he  should  not  see  ^corruption. 

10  "For  he  seeth  that  wise  men  die, 

The  fool  and  the  brutish  together  perish, 

And  leave  their  wealth  to  others. 
11 'Their  inward  thought  is,  that  their  houses  shaU  continue 
for  ever. 

And  their  dwelling  places  to  all  generations; 

They  call  their  lands  after  their  own  names. 
12 But  ^man  abideth  not  in  honour: 

He  is  like  the  beasts  that  perish. 

13 'This  their  way  is  'their  folly: 

Yet  after  them  men  approve  their  sayings.  [Selah 

14  They  are  appointed  as  a  flock  for  She'ol; 
Death  shall  Tbe  their  shepherd : 
And  the  upright  shall  have  dominion  over  them  in  the 

morning 

And  their  '"beauty  shall  be  for  She'ol  to  consume,  that 
there  be  no  habitation  for  it. 

15  But  God  will  redeem  my  soul  from  the  "power  of  She'ol: 
For  he  shall  receive  me.  [Selah 

16  Be  not  thou  afraid  when  one  is  made  rich. 
When  the  "glory  of  his  house  is  increased : 

17  For  when  he  dieth  he  shall  carry  nothing  away; 
His  glory  shall  not  descend  after  him. 

18  Though  while  he  lived  he  blessed  his  soul. 

And  men  praise  thee,  when  thou  doest  well  to  thyself, 
19 ''He  shall  go  to  the  generation  of  his  fethers; 

'*They  shall  never  see  the  light. 
20  Man  that  is  in  honour,  and  understandeth  not, 

Is  like  the  beasts  that  perish.

The  majesty  of  God  in  the  church, 
A  Psalm  I  of  Asaph. 

THE  "mighty   God,  emn   the    Lord,  hath    spoken, 
and  called  the  earth  from  the  rising  of  the  sun 
unto  the  going  down  thereof. 

2  Out  of  Zi'on,  Hhe  perfection  of  beauty,  'God  hath 
shined. 

3  Our  God  shall  come,  and  shall  not  keep  silence : 
''a  fire  shall  devour  before  him,  and  it  shall  be  very 
tempestuous  round  about  him. 

4  'He  shall  call  to  the  heavens  from  above,  and  to 
the  earth,  that  he  may  judge  his  people. 

5  Gather  -^my  saints  together  unto  me;  "those  that 
have  made  a  covenant  wilh  me  by  sacrifice. 

6  And  ''the  heavens  shall  declare  his  righteousness: 
for  'God  is  judge  himself.     Selah. 

7  *Hear,  O  my  people,  and  I  will  speak;  O  Is'ra-el, 
and  I  will  testify  against  thee:  'I  am,  God,  even  thy 
God. 

8  "I  will  not  reprove  thee  "for  thy  sacrifices  or  thy 
burnt  offerings,  io  have  been  continually  before  me. 

9  °I  will  take  no  bullock  out  of  thy  house,  nor  he- 
goats  out  of  thy  folds. 

10  For  every  beast  of  the  forest  is  mine,  and  the  cattle 
upon  a  thousand  hills. 

Ill  know  all  the  fowls  of  the  mountains :  and  the 
wild  beasts  of  the  field  are  fmine. 

12  If  I  were  hungry,  I  would  not  tell  thee:  "for  the 
world  is  mine,  and  the  fulness  thereof. 

13  Will  I  eat  the  flesh  of  bulls,  or  drink  the  blood 
of  goats? 

14  'Offer  unto  God  thanksgiving;  and  'pay  thy  vows 
unto  the  Most  High : 

15  And  'call  upon  me  in  the  day  of  trouble:  I  will 
deliver  thee,  and  thou  shalt  'glorify  me. 

16  But  unto  the  wicked  God  saith,  What  hast  thou 
to  do  to  declare  my  statutes,  or  that  thou  shouldest 
take  my  covenant  in  thy  mouth? 

17  "Seeing  thou  hatest  instruction,  and  'easiest  my 
words  behind  thee. 

18  When  thou  sawest  a  thief,  then  thou  "consent- 
edst  with  him,  and  fhast  been  'partaker  with  adul- 
terers. 

19  Thou  givest  thy  mouth  to  evil,  and  "thy  tongue 
frameth  deceit. 

20  Thou  sittest  and  speakest  against  thy  brother; 
thou  slanderest  thine  own  mother's  son. 

21  These  things  hast  thou  done,  ''and  I  kept  silence ; 
"thou  thoughtest  that  I  was  altogether  such  a  one  as 
thyself:  bvi,  ''I  will  reprove  thee,  and  set  them  in  order 
before  thine  eyes. 

22  Now  consider  this,  ye  that  'forget  God,  lest  I  tear 
you  in  pieces,  and  there  be  none  to  deliver. 

23  -^Whoso  offereth  praise  glorifieth  me :  and  "to  him 
fthat  ordereth  his  conversation  aright  will  I  shew  the 
salvation  of  God. 

F-SALNl  LI. 

God  delighteth  not  in  sacrifice,  but  in  sincerity. 

To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  David,  »when  Nathan  the  prophet  came 

unto  him,  after  he  had  gone  in  to  Bath-sheba. 

HAVE  mercy  upon   me,  O  God,  according  to  thy 
lovingkindness :  according  unto  the  multitude  of 
thy  tender  mercies  "blot  out  my  transgressions.

To  tbe  chief  Musician  upon  Mahalath,  Maschil,  A  Psalm  of 

David. 

THE  "fool  hath  said  in  his  heart.  There  is  no  God. 
Corrupt    are    they,   and    have    done    abominable 
iniquity :  Hhere  is  none  that  doeth  good. 


4  Against  thee,  thee  only,  have  I  sinned. 
And  done  that  which  is  evil  in  thy  sight: 
That  thou  may  est  be  justified  when  thou  speakest, 
And  be  clear  when  thou  judgest. 

5 Behold,  I  was  shapen  in  iniquity; 
And  in  sin  did  my  mother  conceive  me.

That  the  bones  which  thou  hast  broken  may  rejoice. 
9  Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins,  .

And  my  tongue  shall  sing  aloud  of  thy  righteousness. 
15 O  Lord,  open  thou  my  lips; 

And  my  mouth  shall  shew  forth  thy  praise.

Thou  hast  no  plea.sure  in  burnt  offering.

The  mercy  of  God  endureth  conlinually. 
2 Thy  tongue  deviseth  very  wickedness;

David's  fearful  case— He  prayeth  against  his  enemies. 
To  the  chief  Musician  on  Neginoth,  Maschil,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

GIVE  ear  to  my  prayer,  O  God ;  and  hide  not  thy- 
self from  my  supplication. 

2  Attend  unto  me,  and  hear  me;  I  "mourn  in  my 
complaint,  and  make  a  noise ; 

3  Because  of  the  voice  of  the  enemy,  because  of  the 
oppression  of  the  wicked :  'for  they  cast  iniquity  upon 
me,  and  in  wrath  they  hate  me. 

4  'My  heart  is  sore  pained  within  me :  and  the  terrors 
of  death  are  fallen  upon  me. 

5  Fearfulness  and  trembling  are  come  upon  me,  and 
horror  hath  foverwhelmed  me. 

6  And  I  said.  Oh  that  I  had  wings  like  a  dove !  for 
then  would  I  fly  away,  and  be  at  rest. 

7  Lo,  then  would  I  wander  far  off,  and  remain  in  the 
wilderness.     Selah. 

8  I  would  hasten  my  escape  from  the  windy  storm 
and  tempest. 

9  Destroy,  O  Lord,  and  divide  their  tongues :  for  I 
have  seen  ''violence  and  strife  in  the  city. 

10  Day  and  night  they  go  about  it  upon  the  walls 
thereof:  mischief  also  and  sorrow  are  in  the  midst 
of  it. 

11  Wickedness  is  in  the  midst  thereof:  deceit  and 
guile  depart  not  from  her  streets. 

12  'For  it  was  not  an  enemy  that  reproached  me;  then 
I  could  have  borne  it :  neither  was  it  he  that  hated  me 
that  did  ■''magnify  himself  against  me;  then  I  would

13  But  it  was  thou,  'fa  tn&n  mine  equal,  "my  guide,

2  God  looked  down  from  heaven  upon  the  children  of  men.

3  Every  one  of  them  is  gone  back ;  they  are  together  be-

There  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 
4 Have  the  workers  of  iniquity  no  knowledge? 
Who  eat  up  my  people  as  they  eat  bread, 
And  call  not  upon  God. 

5  There  were  they  in  great  fear,  where  no  fear  was : 

For  God  hath  scattered  the  bones  of  him  that  encampetb 

against  thee ; 
Thou  hast  put  them  to  shame,  because  God  hath  rejected 

them. 

6  Oh  that  the  salvation  of  Is'ra-el  were  come  out  of  Zi'on !

David  professeth  his  confidence  in  God^s  word. 

To  the  chief  Musician  upon  Jonath-elem-rechokim,  |  Michtam  of  David, 

when  the  ^Philistines  took  him  in  Gath. 

E  "merciful    unto   me,   O    God:    for    man    would 


B 


swallow  me  up;  he  fighting  daily  oppresseth  me. 

2  fMine  enemies  would  daily  'swallow  me  up:  for 
they  he  many  that  fight  against  me,  O  thou  Most 
High. 

3  What  time  I  am  afraid,  I  will  trust  in  thee. 

4  *In  God  I  will  praise  his  word,  in  God  I  have 
put  my  trust;  'I  will  not  fear  what  flesh  can  do  unto 
me. 

5  Every  day  they  wrest  my  words:  all  their  thoughts 
are  against  me  for  evil. 

6  *They  gather  themselves  together,  they  hide  them- 
selves, they  mark  my  steps,  ■''when  they  wait  for  my 
soul. 

7  Shall  they  escape  by  iniquity  ?  in  thine  anger  cast 
down  the  people,  O  God. 

8  Thou  tellest  my  wanderings:  put  thou  my  tears 
into  thy  bottle :  'are  they  not  in  thy  book  ? 

9  When  I  cry  unto  thee,  then  shall  mine  enemies  turn 
back:  this  I  know;  for  *God  is  for  me. 

10  In  God  will  I  praise  his  word:  in  the  Lord  will 
I  praise  his  word. 

11  In  God  have  I  put  my  trust:  I  will  not' be  afraid 
what  man  can  do  unto  me. 

12  Thy  vows  are  upon  me,  O  God:  I  will  render 
praises  unto  thee. 

13  For  *thou  hast  delivered  my  soul  from  death:  vnU 
not  thou  deliver  my  feet  from  falling,  that  I  may  walk 
before  God  in  'the  light  of  the  living? 


14  We  took  sweet  counsel  together. 

We  walked  in  the  house  of  God  with  the  throng. 
15 'Let  death  come  suddenly  upon  them. 

Let  them  go  down  alive  into  ^the  pit: 

For  wickedness  is  in  their  dwelling,  in  Hhe  midst  of 
them. 

16  As  for  me,  I  will  call  upon  God; 
And  the  Lord  shall  save  me. 

17  Evening,  and  morning,  and  at  noonday,  will  I  complain, 

and  moan : 
And  he  shall  hear  my  voice. 

18  He  hath  redeemed  my  soul  in  peace  *from  the  battle  that 

was  against  me : 
For  they  were  many  that  strove  with  me. 

19  God  shall  hear,  and  'answer  them, 
Even  he  that  abideth  of  old,  [Selah 
The  men  who  have  no  changes, 
And  who  fear  not  God. 

20  He  hath  put  forth  his  hands  against  such  as  were  at 

peace  with  him : 
He  hath  profaned  his  covenant. 

21  His  mouth  was  smooth  as  butter, 
But  his  heart  was  war : 
His  words  were  softer  than  oil. 
Yet  were  they  drawn  swords. 

22  Cast  "thy  burden  upon  the  Lord,  and  be  shall  sustain 

thee: 
He  shall  never  suffer  the  righteous  to  be  moved. 

23  But  thou,  O  God,  shalt  bring  them  down  into  the  pit  of 

destruction : 
Bloodthirsty  and  deceitful  men  shall  not  live  out  half 

their  days; 
But  I  will  trust  in  thee.

3  For,  lo,  they  lie  in  wait  for  my  soul :  ''the  mighty 
are  gathered  against  me ;  "not  for  my  transgression,  nor 
for  my  sin,  O  Lord. 

4  They  run  and  prepare  themselves  without  my  fault : 
''awake  fto  help  me,  and  behold. 

5  Thou  therefore,  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  awake  to  visit  all  the  heathen :  be  not  merciful 
to  any  wicked  transgressors.     Selah. 

6  "They  return  at  evening :  they  make  a  noise  like  a 
dog,  and  go  round  about  the  city. 

7  Behold,  they  belch  out  with  their  mouth:  -^swords 
are  in  their  lips :  for  "who,  say  they,  doth  hear? 

8  But  *thou,  O  Lord,  shalt  laugh  at  them ;  thou  shalt 
have  all  the  heathen  in  derision. 

9  Because  of  his  strength  will  I  wait  upon  thee :  'for 
God  is  fray  defence. 

10  The  God  of  my  mercy  shall  *prevent  me:  God 
shall  let  'me  see  my  desire  upon  fmine  enemies. 

11  "Slay  them  not,  lest  my  people  forget:  scatter 
them  by  thy  power;  and  bring  them  down,  O  Lord 
our  shield. 

12  "For  the  sin  of  their  mouth  and  the  words  of  their 
lips  let  them  even  be  taken  in  their  pride:  and  for 
cursing  and  lying  which  they  speak. 

13  "Consume  them  in  wrath,  consume  them,  that  they 
may  not  be:  and  ''let  them  know  that  God  ruleth  in 
Ja'cob  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth.     Selah. 

14  And  «at  evening  let  them  return;  and  let  them 
make  a  noise  like  a  dog,  and  go  round  about  the

15  Let  them  'wander  up  and  down  ffor  meat,  ||and 
grudge  if  they  be  not  satisfied. 

16  But  I  will  sing  of  thy  power;  yea,  I  will  sing 
aloud  of  thy  mercy  in  the  morning :  for  thou  hast  been 
my  defence  and  refuge  in  the  day  of  my  trouble. 

17  Unto  thee,  'O  my  strength,  will  I  sing:  'for  God 
is  my  defence,  and  the  God  of  my  mercy.

4  They  run  and  prepare  themselves  without  my  fault;

David  fieeth  to  God  upon  his  former  experience. 
To  the  chief  Musician  upon  Negrinah,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

HEAR  my  cry,  O  God;  attend  unto  my  prayer. 
2  From  the  end  of  the  earth  will  I  cry  unto  thee, 
when  my  heart  is  overwhelmed :  lead  me  to  the  rock 
that  is  higher  than  I. 

3  For  thou  hast  been  a  shelter  for  me,  and  "a  strong 
tower  for  the  enemy. 

4  ''I  will  abide  in  thy  tabernacle  for  ever;  °I  will 
1 1  trust  in  the  covert  of  thy  wings.     Selah. 

5  For  thou,  O  God,  hast  heard  my  vows :  thou  hast 
given  me  the  heritage  of  those  that  fear  thy  name. 

6  ''fThou  wilt  prolong  the  king's  life :  and  his  years 
fas  many  generations. 

7  He  shall  abide  before  God  for  ever  •■  O  prepare  mercy 
•and  truth,  wJiich  may  preserve  him. 

8  So  will  I  sing  praise  unto  thy  name  for  ever,  that  I 
may  daily  perform  my  vows. 

psalm:  lxii. 

No  trust  is  to  be  put  in  worldly  things. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  to  '■'■Jeduthun,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

lirPRULiY  "my  soul  fwaiteth  upon  God:   from  him 
A    Cometh  my  salvation. 

2  'He  only  ts  my  rock  and  my  salvation;  he  is  my 
fdefence ;  "I  shall  not  be  greatly  moved. 

3  How  long  will  ye  imagine  mischief  against  a  man  ? 
ye  shall  be  slain  all  of  you :  ''as  a  bowing  wall  shall  ye 
be,  and  as  a  tottering  fence. 

4  They  only  consult  to  cast  him  down  from  his  ex- 
cellency: they  delight  in  lies:  'they  bless  with  their 
mouth,  but  they  fcurse  inwardly.     Selah. 

5  -^My  soul,  wait  thou  only  upon  God ;  for  my  expec- 
tat'on  is  from  him. 

C  He  only  is  my  rock  and  my  salvation :  he  is  my  de- 
fence ;  I  shall  not  be  moved. 

7  "In  God  is  my  salvation  and  my  glory :  the  rock  of 
my  strength,  and  my  refuge,  is  in  God. 

8  Trust  in  him  at  all  times ;  ye  people,  *pour  out  your 
heart  before  him :  God  is  'a  refuge  for  us.     Selah. 

9  *Surely  men  of  low  degree  are  vanity,  and  men  of 
high  degree  are  a  lie :  to  be  laid  in  the  balance,  they  are 
II  altogether  lighter  than  vanity. 

10  Trust  not  in  oppression,  and  become  not  vain  in 
robbery :  'if  riches  increase,  set  not  your  heart  upon 
them. 

1 1  God  hath  spoken  ""once ;  twice  have  I  heard  this ; 
that  "II  power  helongeth  unto  God. 

12  Also  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  belongeth''mercy  -.  for  "thou 
renderest  to  every  man  according  to  his  work.

David's  thirst  for  God — His  manner  of  blessing  God. 
A  Psalm  of  David,  *when  he  was  in  the  wilderness  of  Judah. 

OGOD,  thou  art  my  God ;  early  will  I  seek  thee : 
"my  soul  thirsteth  for  thee,  my  flesh  longeth  for 
thee  in  a  dry  and  fthirsty  land,  fwhere  no  water  is; 

2  To  see  'thy  power  and  thy  glory,  so  as  I  have  seen 
thee  in  the  sanctuarj". 

3  ""Because  thy  loviugkindness  is  better  than  life,  my 
lips  shall  praise  thee. 

4  Thus  will  I  bless  thee  ''while  I  live :  I  will  lift  up 
my  hands  in  thy  name. 

5  My  soul  shall  be  'satisfied  as  wiih  fmarrow  and  fat- 
ness ;  and  my  mouth  shall  praise  thee  with  joyful  lips: 

6  When  -'^I  remember  thee  upon  my  bed,  and  meditate 
on  thee  in  the  night  watches. 


For  the  Chief  Musician  ;  on  a  stringed  instrument.    A  Psalm  of  David.

Lead  me  to  ^the  rock  that  is  higher  than  I. 

3  For  thou  hast  been  a  refuge  for  me,

Like  a  bowing  wall,  like  a  tottering  fence  ? 

4  They  only  consult  to  thrust  him  down  from  his  excellency  ; 
They  delight  in  lies : 
They  bless  with  their  mouth,  but  they  curse  inwardly.  [Selah 

5  My  soul,  ^wait  thou  only  upon  God; 
For  my  expectation  is  from  him. 

6  He  only  is  my  rock  and  my  salvation : 
He  is  my  high  tower ;  I  shall  not  be  moved. 

7  With  God  is  my  salvation  and  my  glory : 
The  rock  of  my  strength,  and  my  refuge,  is  in  God 

8  Trust  in  him  at  all  times,  ye  people ; 
Pour  out  your  heart  before  him : 
God  is  a  refuge  for  us.  [Selah 

9  Surely  men  of  low  degree  are  'vanity,  and  men  of  high 

degree  are  a  lie : 
In  the  balances  they  will  go  up ; 
They  are  together  lighter  than  'vanity. 

10  Trust  not  in  oppression. 

And  become  not  vain  in  robbery : 

If  riches  increase,  set  not  your  heart  thereon. 

11  God  hath  spoken  once, 
Twice  have  I  heard  this ; 

That  power  belongeth  unto  God : 

12  Also  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  belongeth  mercy: 

For  thou  renderest  to  every  man  according  to  his  work 

68 

1  O  God,  thou  art  my  God ; 
My  soul  thirsteth  for  thee,  my  flesh  longeth  for  thee, 
In  a  dry  and  weary  land,  where  no  water  is. 

2  So  have  I  looked  upon  thee  in  the  sanctuary, 
To  see  thy  power  and  thy  glory. 

3 For  thy  lovingkindness  is  better  than  life; 

My  lips  shall  praise  thee. 
4 So  will  I  bless  thee  while  I  live: 

1  will  lift  up  my  hands  in  thy  name. 

5  My  soul  shall  be  satisfied  as  with  '"marrow  and  fatness ; 
And  my  mouth  shall  praise  thee  with  joyful  lips ; 

6  When  I  remember  thee  upon  my  bed, 
"^nd  meditate  on  thee  in  the  night  watches.

diligent  search :  both  the  inward  thought  of  every  one

7  'But  God  shall  shoot  at  them  with  an  arrow;  sud-

11  Thou  broughtest  us  into  the  net ; 

They  layedst  a  sore  burden  upon  our  loins. 
12 Thou  hast  caused  men  to  ride  over  our  heads; 

We  went  through  fire  and  through  water; 

But  thou  broughtest  us  out  into  'a  wealthy  place. 
131  will  come  into  thy  house  with  burnt  offerings, 

I  will  pay  thee  my  vows, 
14  Which  my  lips  have  uttered. 

And  my  mouth  hath  spoken,  when  I  was  in  distress. 
15 1  will  offer  unto  thee  burnt  offerings  of  fatlings, 

With  the  incense  of  rams ; 

I  will  offer  bullocks  with  goats.  [Selah 

16  Come,  and  hear,  all  ye  that  fear  God, 

And  I  will  declare  what  he  hath  done  for  my  soul. 
171  cried  unto  him  with  my  mouth. 

And  *he  was  extolled  with  my  tongue. 
18  If  I  'regard  iniquity  in  my  heart, 

The  Lord  '"will  not  hear: 
19 But  verily  God  hath  heard; 

He  hath  attended  to  the  voice  of  my  prayer. 
20  Blessed  be  God, 

Which  hath  not  turned  away  my  prayer,  nor  his  mercy 
from  me.

iGod  be  merciful  unto  us,  and  bless  us. 

And  cause  his  face  to  shine  "upon  us;  [Selah 

2  That  thy  way  may  be  known  upon  earth, 

Thy  saving  health  among  all  nations. 
3 Let  the  peoples  'Upraise  thee,  O  God; 

Let  all  the  peoples  praise  thee. 
4  O  let  the  nations  be  glad  and  sing  for  joy : 

For  thou  shalt  judge  the  peoples  with  equity, 

And  '^govern  the  nations  upon  earth.  [Selah

FSALNI    LXVIII. 

A  prayer  at  the  removing  of  the  ark. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  or  Song  of  David. 

LET  "God  arise,  let  his  enemies  be  scattered:  let 
them  also  that  hate  him  flee  fbefore  him. 

2  'As  smoke  is  driven  away,  so  drive  them  away :  "^as 
wax  melteth  before  the  fire,  so  let  the  wicked  perish  at 
the  presence  of  God. 

3  But  ""let  the  righteous  be  glad ;  let  them  rejoice  be- 
fore God :  yea,  let  them  fexceedingly  rejoice. 

4  'Sing  unto  God,  sing  praises  to  his  name :  -^extol  him 
that  rideth  upon  the  heavens  "by  his  name  J  AH,  and 
rejoice  before  him. 

5  *A  fether  of  the  fatherless,  and  a  judge  of  the 
widows,  is  God  in  his  holy  habitation. 

6  'God  setteth  the  solitary  fin  families:  *he  bringeth 
out  those  which  are  bound  with  chains:  but  'the  re- 
bellious dwell  in  a  dry  land. 

7  O  God,  "when  thou  wentest  forth  before  thy  people, 
when  thou  didst  march  through  the  wilderness ;  Selah  : 

8  "The  earth  shook,  the  heavens  also  dropped  at  the 
presence  of  God:  even  Si'nai  itself  was  moved  at  the 
presence  of  God,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

9  "Thou,  O  God,  didst  fsend  a  plentiful  rain,  where- 
by thou  didst  fconfirm  thine  inheritance,  when  it  was 
weary. 

10  Thy  congregation  hath  dwelt  therein:  "thou,  O 
God,  hast  prepared  of  thy  goodness  for  the  poor. 

11  The  Lord  gave  the  word :  great  was  the  f com- 
pany of  those  that  published  it. 

12  'Kings  of  armies  fdid  flee  apace:  and  she  that 
tarried  at  home  divided  the  spoil. 

13  "Though  ye  have  lain  among  the  pots,  'yei  shall  ye 
be  as  the  wings  of  a  dove  covered  with  silver,  and  her 
feathers  with  yellow  gold. 

14  'When  the  Almighty  scattered  kings  Ijin  it,  it  was 
white  as  snow  in  Sal'mon. 

15  The  hill  of  God  is  as  the  hill  of  Ba'shan;  a  high 
hill  as  the  hill  of  Ba'shan. 

16  "Why  leap  ye,  ye  high  hills?  Hhis  is  the  hill  which 
God  desireth  to  dwell  in ;  yea,  the  Lord  will  dwell  m 
it  for  ever. 

17  "The  chariots  of  God  are  twenty  thousand,  ||  even 
thousands  of  angels :  the  Lord  is  among  them,  as  in 
Si'nai,  in  the  holy  place. 

18  'Thou  hast  ascended  on  high,  "thou  hast  led  cap- 
tivity captive :  'thou  hast  received  gifts  ffor  men ;  yea, 
for  ''the  rebellious  also,  ''that  the  Lord  God  might 
dwell  among  them. 

19  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  who  daily  loadeth  us  with 
benefits,  even  the  God  of  our  salvation.     Selah. 

20  He  that  is  our  God  is  the  God  of  salvation ;  and 
'unto  God  the  Lord  belong  the  issues  from  death. 

21  But  ■'God  shall  wound  the  head  of  his  enemies, 
'and  the  hairy  scalp  of  such  a  one  as  goeth  on  still  in 
his  trespasses. 

22  The  Lord  said,  I  will  bring  *again  from  Ba'shan, 
I  will  bring  my  people  again  'from  the  depths  of  the 
sea; 

23  *That  thy  foot  may  be  ||  dipped  in  the  blood  of 
thine  enemies,  'amd  the  tongue  of  thy  dogs  in  the  same. 

24  They  have  seen  thy  goings,  O  God ;  even  the  goings 
of  my  God,  my  King,  in  the  sanctuary. 


5  Let  the  peoples  praise  thee,  O  God ; 
Let  all  the  peoples  praise  thee. 

6  The  earth  hath  yielded  her  increase : 
God,  even  our  own  God,  shall  bless  us. 

7  God  shall  bless  us ; 

And  all  the  ends  of  the  earth  shall  fear  him. 

y  Q  For  the  Chief  Musician.    A  Psalm  of  David,  a  Song. 

1  Let  God  arise,  let  his  enemies  be  scattered ; 
Let  them  also  that  hate  him  flee  before  him. 

2  As  smoke  is  driven  away,  so  drive  them  away : 
As  wax  melteth  before  the  fire. 

So  let  the  wicked  perish  at  the  presence  of  God. 

3  But  let  the  righteous  be  glad ;  let  them  exult  before  God : 
Yea,  let  them  rejoice  with  gladness. 

4 Sing  unto  God,  sing  praises  to  his  name: 
Cast  up  a  high  way  for  him  that  rideth  through  the  deserts ; 
His  name  is  jah  ;  and  exult  ye  before  him. 

5  A  father  of  the  fatherless,  and  a  judge  of  the  widows. 
Is  God  in  his  holy  habitation. 

6  God  'setteth  the  solitary  in  families : 

He  bringeth  out  the  prisoners  int<j  prosperity : 
But  the  rebellious  dwell  in  a  parched  land. 

7  O  God,  when  thou  wentest  forth  before  thy  people. 
When  thou  didst  march  through  the  wilderness ;       [Selah 

8  The  earth  trembled. 

The  heavens  also  dropped  at  the  presence  of  God : 
Even  yon  Si'nai  t'^embled  at  the  presence  of  God,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el. 

9  Thou,  O  God,  didst  send  a  plentiful  rain, 

Thou  didst  confirm  thine  inheritance,  when  it  was  weary. 
10 Thy  ^congregation  dwelt  therein: 

Thou,  O  God,  didst  prepare  of  thy  goodness  for  the  poor. 

11  The  Lord  giveth  the  word: 

The  women  that  publish  the  tidings  are  a  great  host. 

1 2  Kings  of  armies  flee,  they  flee : 

And  she  that  tarrieth  at  home  divideth  the  spoil. 
13 'Will  ye  lie  among  the  sheepfolds. 

As  the  wings  of  a  dove  covered  with  silver, 
And  her  pinions  with  yellow  gold  ? 

14  When  the  Almighty  scattered  kings  therein, 
*It  wa^  as  when  it  snoweth  in  Zal'mon. 

15  A  mountain  of  God  is  the  mountain  of  Ba'shan ; 
'An  high  mountain  is  the  mountain  of  Ba'shan. 

16  Why  look  ye  askance,  ye  high  mountains. 

At  the  mountain  which  God  hath  desired  for  his  abode  ? 
Yea,  the  Lord  will  dwell  in  it  for  ever. 

17  The  chariots  of  God  are  twenty  thousand,  even  thousands 

upon  thousands: 
The  Lord  is  among  them,  ^as  in  Si'nai,  in  the  sanctuary. 

18  Thou  hast  ascended  on  high,  thou  hast  led  thy  captivity 

captive ; 
Thou  hast  received  gifts  among  men. 
Yea,   among  the   rebellious  also,  that  'the   Lord   God 
might  *dwell  with  them. 
19 'Blessed  be  the  Lord,  who  daily  beareth  our  burden, 

Even  the  God  who  is  our  salvation.  [Selah 

20 God  is  unto  us  a  God  of  deliverances; 

And  unto  jehovah  the  Lord  belong  the  issues  from  death. 
2lBut  God  shall  smite  through  the  head  of  his  enemies. 
The  hairy  scalp  of  such  an  one  as  goeth  on  still  in  his 
guiltiness. 

22  The  Lord  said,  I  will  bring  again  from  Ba'shan, 

I  will  bring  them  again  from  the  depths  of  the  sea : 

23  That  thou  mayest  dip  thy  foot  in  blood. 

That  the  tongue  of  tny  dogs  may  have  its  portion  from 
thine  enemies. 

24  They  have  seen  thy  goings,  O  God, 

Even  the  goings  of  my  God,  my  King,  '"into  the  sanctuary.

psalm:  LXIX. 

David  complaineth  of  his  affiiciion—He prayeihfor  deliverance. 
To  the  chief  Musician  '■"'upon  Shoshannim,  A  Psalm  of  David. 

SAVE  me,  O  God ;  for  "the  waters  are  come  in  unto 
my  soul. 

2  ""I  sink  in  fdeep  mire,  where  there  is  no  standing : 
I  am  come  into  fdeep  waters,  where  the  floods  over- 
flow me. 

3  ""I  am  weary  of  my  crying :  my  throat  is  dried : 
''mine  eyes  fail  while  I  wait  for  my  God. 

4  They  that  "hate  me  without  a  cause  are  more  than 
the  hairs  of  mine  head:  they  that  would  destroy  me, 
being  mine  enemies  wrongfully,  are  mighty :  then  I  re- 
stored that  which  I  took  not  away. 

5  O  God,  thou  kuowest  my  foolishness;  and  my 
fsins  are  not  hid  from  thee. 

6  Let  not  them  that  wait  on  thee,  O  Lord  God  of  hosts, 
be  ashamed  for  my  sake :  let  not  those  that  seek  thee 
be  confounded  for  my  sake,  O  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  Because  for  thy  sake  I  have  borne  reproach ;  shame 
hath  covered  my  face. 

8  ^1  am  become  a  stranger  unto  my  brethren,  and  an 
alien  unto  my  mother's  children. 

9  "For  the  zeal  of  thine  house  hath  eaten  me  up;  'and. 
the  reproaches  of  them  that  reproached  thee  are  fallen 
upon  me. 

10  'When  I  wept,  and  chastened  my  soul  with  fasting, 
that  was  to  my  reproach. 

Ill  made  sackcloth  also  my  garment;  *and  I  became 
a  proverb  to  them. 

12  They  that  sit  in  the  gate  speak  against  me ;  and  'I 
was  the  song  of  the  fdrunkards. 

13  But  as  for  me,  my  prayer  is  unto  thee,  O 
Lord,  "in  an  acceptable  time:  O  God,  in  the 
multitude  of  thy  mercy  hear  me,  in  the  truth  of  thy

Even  the  Lord,  ye  that  are  of  the  fountain  of  Is'ra-el. 

27  There  is  little  Ben'ja-min  their  ruler, 
The  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and  their  'council.

^Strengthen,  O  God,  that  which  thou  ^hast  wrought  for  us. 

29  Because  of  thy  temple  at  Je-ru'sa-lem 
Kings  shall  bring  presents  unto  thee.

The  multitude  of  the  bulls,  with  the  calves  of  the  peoples, 

^Trampling  under  foot  the  pieces  of  silver ;

1  Save  me,  O  God ; 

For  the  waters  are  come  in  unto  my  soul. 
2 1  sink  in  deep  mire,  where  there  is  no  standing : 

1  am  come  into  deep  waters,  where  the  floods  overflow 

me. 
3 1  am  weary  with  my  crying ;  my  throat  is  dried : 
Mine  eyes  fail  while  I  wait  for  my  God. 

4  They  that  hate  me  without  a  cause  are  more  than  the 

hairs  of  mine  head  : 

They  that  would  cut  me  ofi",  being  mine  enemies  'wrong- 
fully, are  mighty : 

Then  I  '"restored  that  which  I  took  not  away. 

5  O  God,  thou  knowest  my  foolishness ; 
And  my  "sins  are  not  hid  from  thee. 

6  Let  not  them  that  wait  on  thee  be  ashamed  through  me, 

O  Lord  God  of  hosts : 
Let  not  those  that  seek   thee  be  brought  to  dishonour 
through  me,  O  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  Because  for  thy  sake  I  have  borne  reproach ; 
Shame  hath  covered  my  face. 

8 1  am  become  a  stranger  unto  my  brethren. 

And  an  alien  unto  my  mother's  children. 
9  For  the  zeal  of  thine  house  hath  eaten  me  up ; 

And  the  reproaches  of  them  that  reproach  thee  are  fallen 
upon  me. 

10  When  I  wept,  and  chastened  my  soul  with  fasting. 
That  was  to  my  reproach. 

1 1  When  I  made  sackcloth  my  clothing, 
I  became  a  proverb  unto  them. 

12Thev  that  sit  in  tlie  gate  talk  of  me; 
And  I  am  the  song  of  the  drunkards. 
13  But  as  for  me,  my  prayer  is  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  in  an 
acceptable  time: 
O  God,  in  the  multitude  of  thy  mercy. 
Answer  me  in  the  truth  of  thy  salvation. 
14 Deliver  me  out  of  the  mire,  and  let  me  not  sink: 

Let  me  be  delivered  from  them  that  hate  me,  and  out  of 
the  deep  waters.

be  put  to  confusion.

According  to  the  multitude  of  thy  tender  mercies  turn 

thou  unto  me.

And  make  their  loins  continually  to  shake. 

24  Pour  out  thine  indignation  upon  them. 

And  let  the  fierceness  of  thine  anger  overtake  them. 

25  Let  their  habitation  be  desolate ; 
Let  none  dwell  in  their  tents. 

26  For  they  persecute  him  whom  thou  hast  smitten ;

And  let  them  not  come  into  thy  righteousness. 

28  Let  them  be  blotted  out  of  the  book  of  'life, 
And  not  be  written  with  the  righteous.

32  The  meek  have  seen  it,  and  are  glad : 

Ye  that  seek  after  God,  let  your  heart  live.

A  Psalm    I 'for  Solomon. 

GIVE   the   king  thy  judgments,  O  God,  and  thy 
righteousness  unto  the  king's  son. 

2  "He  shall  judge  thy  people  with  righteousness,  and 
thy  poor  with  judgment. 

3  ""The  mountains  shall  bring  peace  to  the  people,  and 
the  little  hills,  by  righteousness. 


2  Deliver  me  in  thy  righteousness,  and  rescue  me : 
Bow  down  thine  ear  unto  me,  and  save  me. 

3  Be  thou  to  me  'a  rock  of  habitation,  whereunto  I  may 

continually  resort : 
Thou  hast  given  commandment  to  save  me; 
For  thou  art  my  rock  and  my  fortress. 

4  Rescue  me,  O  my  God,  out  of  the  hand  of  the  wicked, 
Out  of  the  hand  of  the  unrighteous  and  cruel  man. 

5  For  thou  art  my  hope,  O  Lord  God  : 
Thou  art  my  trust  from  my  youth. 

6  By  thee  have  I  been  holden  up  from  the  womb : 
^Thou  art  he  that  took  me  out  of  my  mother's  bowels ; 
My  praise  shall  be  continually  of  thee. 

7  I  am  as  a  wonder  unto  many ; 
But  thou  art  my  strong  refuge. 

8  My  mouth  shall  be  filled  with  thy  praise, 
And  with  thy  honour  all  the  day. 

9  Cast  me  not  off  in  the  time  of  old  age ; 
Forsake  me  not  when  my  strength  faileth. 

10  For  mine  enemies  speak  concerning  me ; 

And  they  that  watch  for  my  soul  take  counsel  together, 

11  Saying,  God  hath  forsaken  him : 
Pursue  and  take  him ;  for  there  is  none  to  deliver. 

120  God,  be  not  far  from  me: 

0  my  God,  make  haste  to  help  me. 

13  Let  them  be  ashamed  and  consumed  that  are  adversaries 

to  my  soul : 

Let  them  be  covered  with  reproach  and  dishonour  that 
seek  my  hurt. 

14  But  I  will  hope  continually, 
And  will  praise  thee  yet  more  and  more. 

15  My  mouth  shall  tell  of  thy  righteousness, 
And  of  thy  salvation  all  the  day ; 
For  I  know  not  the  numbers  thereof. 

161  will  come  'with  the  mighty  acts  of  the  Lord  God: 

1  will  make  mention  of  thy  righteousness,  even  of  thine 

only. 

17  O  God,  thou  hast  taught  me  from  my  youth : 
And  hitherto  have  I  declared  thy  wondrous  works. 

18  Yea,  even  Vhen  I  am  old  and  grayheaded,  O  God,  for- 

sake me  not; 

Until  I  have  declared 'thy  strength  unto  <Ae7iea;<  generation. 
Thy  might  to  every  one  that  is  to  come. 
19 Thy  righteousness  also,  O  God,  is  very  high; 
Thou  who  hast  done  great  things, 
O  God,  who  is  like  unto  thee? 

20  Thou,  which  hast  shewed  'us  many  and  sore  troubles, 
Shalt  quicken  'us  again. 
And  shalt  bring  'us  up  again  from  the  depths  of  the  earth. 

21  Increase  thou  my  greatness, 
And  turn  again  and  comfort  me. 

22 1  will  also  praise  thee  with  the  psaltery. 
Even  thy  truth,  O  my  God : 
Unto  thee  will  I  sing  praises  with  the  harp, 
O  thou  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

23  My  lips  shall  greatly  rejoice  when  I  sing  praises  unto  thee; 
And  my  soul,  which  thou  hast  redeemed. 

24  My  tongue  also  shall  talk  of  thy  righteousness  all  the 

day  long: 
For  they  are  ashamed,  for  they  are  confounded,  that 
seek  my  hurt. 

70  A  Psalm  of  Solomon. 

1  Give  the  king  thy  judgements,  O  God, 
And  thy  righteousness  unto  the  king's  son. 

2^He  shall  judge  thy  people  with  righteousness, 
And  thy  poor  with  judgement. 

3  The  mountains  shall  bring  peace  to  the  people, 
And  the  hills,  in  righteousness.

12  Behold,  these  are  the  ungodly,  who  'prosper  in  the 
world  ;  they  increase  in  riches. 

13  "Verily  I  have  cleansed  my  heart  in  vain,  and 
"washed  my  hands  in  innocency. 

14  For  all  the  day  long  have  I  been  plagued,  and 
fchastened  every  morning. 

15  If  I  say,  I  will  speak  thus ;  behold,  I  should  offend 
against  the  generation  of  thy  children. 

16  "When  I  thought  to  know  this,  ||it  was  too  painful 
for  me ; 

17  Until  "I  went  into  the  sanctuary  of  God ;  then 
understood  I  'their  end. 

18  Surely  ''thou  didst  set  them  in  slippery  places: 
thou  castedst  them  down  into  destruction. 

19  How  are  they  brought  into  desolation,  as  in  a 
moment !  they  are  utterly  consumed  with  terrors. 

20  'As  a  dream  when  one  awaketh ;  so,  O  Lord,  'when 
thou  awakest,  thou  shalt  despise  their  image. 

21  Thus  my  heart  was  "grieved,  and  I  was  pricked 
in  my  reins. 

22  *So  foolish  was  I,  and  fignorant :  I  was  as  a  beast 
fbefore  thee. 

23  Nevertheless  I  am  continually  with  thee :  thou 
hast  holden  me  by  my  right  hand. 

24  "Thou  shalt  guide  me  with  thy  counsel,  and  after- 
ward receive  me  to  glory. 

25  'Whom  have  I  in  heaven  but  thee  f  and  there  is 
none  upon  earth  that  I  desire  besides  thee. 

26  "My  flesh  and  my  heart  faileth ;  bvi  God  is  the 
fstrength  of  my  heart,  and  ''my  portion  for  ever. 

27  For,  lo,  'they  that  are  far  from  thee  shall  perish  : 
thou  hast  destroyed  all  them  that  ''go  a  whoring  from 
thee. 

28  But  it  is  good  for  me  to  'draw  near  to  God  :  I 
have  put  my  trust  in  the  Lord  GoD,  that  I  may  ■'^de- 
clare all  thy  works. 

PSALNI  LXXIV. 

The  psalmist  complainelh  of  the  desolation  of  the  sanctuary. 
\  Maschil  of  Asapb. 

OGOD,  why  hast  thou  "cast  us  off  for  ever?  why 
doth  thine  anger  ''smoke  against  'the  sheep  of  thy 
pasture  ? 

2  Remember  thy  congregation,  ^which  thou  hast 
purchased  of  old;  the  H'rod  of  thine  inheritance,  which 
thou  hast  redeemed;  this  mount  Zi'on,  wherein  thou 
hast  dwelt. 

3  Lift  up  thy  feet  unto  the  perpetual  desolations; 
even  all  that  the  enemy  hath  done  wickedly  in  the 
sanctuary. 

4  •''Thine  enemies  roar  in  the  midst  of  thy  congrega- 
tions ;  "they  set  up  their  ensigns  for  signs. 

5  A  man  was  famous  according  as  he  had  lifted  up 
axes  upon  the  thick  trees. 

6  But  now  they  break  down  *the  carved  work  thereof

7  'fThey  have  cast  fire  into  thy  sanctuary,  they  have 
defiled  ''by  casting  down  the  dwellingplace  of  thy  name 
to  the  ground. 

8  'They  said  in  their  hearts,  Let  us  fdestroy  them 
together :  they  have  burned  up  all  the  synagogues  of 
God  in  the  land. 

9  We   see    not   our    signs;    '"there   is   no   more    any 

Erophet :  neither  is  there  among  us  any  that  knoweth 
ow  long. 

10  O  God,  how  long  shall  the  adversary  reproach  ? 
shall  the  enemy  blaspheme  thy  name  for  ever? 


12 Behold,  these  are  the  wicked; 

And,  being  alway  at  ease,  they  increase  in  riches. 

13  Surely  in  vain  have  I  cleansed  my  heart. 
And  washed  my  hands  in  innocency; 

14  For  all  the  day  long  have  I  been  plagued, 
And  'chastened  every  morning. 

15  If  I  had  said,  I  will  speak  thus; 

Behold,  I  had  dealt  treacherously  with  the  generation  of 
thy  children. 

16  When  I  thought  how  I  might  know  this, 
^It  was  too  painful  for  me ; 

17  Until  I  went  into  the  sanctuary  of  God, 
And  considered  their  latter  end. 

18  Surely  thou  settest  them  in  slippery  places : 
Thou  castest  them  down  to  destruction. 

19 How  are  they  become  a  de.solation  in  a  moment! 
They  are  utterly  consumed  with  terrors. 

20  As  a  dream  when  one  awaketh ; 

So,  O   Lord,  *when  thou  awakest,   thoa   shalt  despise 
their  image. 

21  For  my  heart  'was  grieved. 
And  I  was  pricked  in  my  reins : 

22  So  brutish  *was  I,  and  ignorant ; 
I  was  as  a  beast  'before  thee ; 

23  Nevertheless  I  am  continually  with  thee ; 
Thou  hast  holden  my  right  hand. 

24  Thou  shalt  guide  me  with  thy  counsel. 
And  afterward  receive  me  'to  glory. 

25  Whom  have  I  in  heaven  but  theef 

And  there  is  none  upon  earth  that  I  desire  'beside  thee. 

26  My  flesh  and  my  heart  faileth  : 

But  God  is  the  "strength  of  my  heart  and  my  portion 
for  ever. 

27  For,  lo,  they  that  are  far  from  thee  shall  perish  : 

Thou  hast  destroyed  all  them  that  go  a  whoring  from  thee. 

28  But  it  is  good  for  me  to  draw  near  unto  God : 
I  have  made  the  Lord  God  my  refiige, 

That  I  may  tell  of  all  thy  works. 

f^  Maschil  of  Asaph. 

lO  God,  why  hast  thou  cast  us  off  for  ever? 
Why  doth  thine  anger  smoke  against  the  sheep  of  thy 
pasture  ? 

2  Remember  thy  congregation,  which  thou  hast  purchased 

of  old, 
Which   thou   hast   redeemed    to    be  the  tribe  of  thine 

inheritance ; 
Anil  mount  Zi'on,  wherein  thou  hast  dwelt. 

3  Lift  up  thy  feet  unto  the  perpetual  ruins, 

"All  the  evil  that  the  enemy  hath  done  in  the  sanctuary. 

4  Thine  adversaries  have  roared  in  the  midst  of  thine  as- 

sembly ; 
They  have  set  up  their  ensigns  for  signs. 

5  They  '^seemed  as  men  that  lifted  up 
Axes  upon  a  thicket  of  trees. 

6  And  now  all  the  carved  work  thereof  together 
They  break  down  with  hatchet  and  hammers. 

7  They  have  set  thy  sanctuary  on  fire ; 

They  have  profaned  the  dwelling  place  of  thy  name  even 
to  the  ground. 

8  They  said  in  their  heart,  Let  us  make  havoc  of  them 

altogether : 
They  have  burned  up  all  the  '%nagogues  of  God  in 
the  land. 

9  We  see  not  our  signs : 

There  is  no  more  any  prophet ; 

Neither  is  there  among  us  any  that  knoweth  how  long. 
10 How  long,  O  God,  shall  the  adversary  reproach? 
Shall  the  enemy  blaspheme  thy  name  for  ever  ?

To  the  chief  Musician  on  Neginoth,  A  Psalm  or  Song  of  |  Asaph. 

IN  "Ju'dah  is  God  known :  his  name  is  great  in  Is'ra-el.

12  Yet  God  is  my  King  of  old,

20 Have  respect  unto  the  covenant:

2  'In  the  day  of  my  trouble  I  'sought  the  Loed:

PSALM  LXXVIII. 

An  exhortation  both  to  learn  and  to  preach  the  law  o/  God. 
'  I  Maschil  of  Asaph. 

GIVE  "ear,  O  my  people,  to  my  law:  incline  your 
ears  to  the  words  of  my  mouth. 


6  At  thy  rebuke,  O  God  of  Ja'cob, 
Both  chariot  and  horse  are  cast  into  a  dead  sleep. 

7  Thou,  even  thou,  art  to  be  feared : 
And  who  may  stand  in  thy  sight  when  once  thou  art 

angry  ? 

8  Thou  didst  cause  sentence  to  be  heard  from  heaven ; 
The  earth  feared,  and  was  still, 

9  When  God  arose  to  judgement. 
To  save  all  the  meek  of  the  earth.  [Selah 

10  Surely  the  wrath  of  man  shall  praise  thee  : 
The  residue  of  wrath  shalt  thou  'gird  upon  thee. 

11  Vow,  and  pay  unto  the  Lord  your  God: 
Let  all  that  be  round  about  him  bring  presents  unto  him 

that  ought  to  be  feared. 

12  He  shall  cut  off  the  spirit  of  princes: 
He  is  terrible  to  the  kings  of  the  earth. 

//     For  the  Chief  Musician;  after  the  manner  of  Jeduthun.    A  Psalm  of  Asaph. 

1 1  will  cry  unto  God  with  my  voice ; 

Even  unto  God  with  my  voice,  and  he  will  give  ear  unto  me. 
2  In  the  day  of  my  trouble  I  sought  the  Lord  : 

My  hand  was  stretched  out  in  the  night,  and  slacked  not ; 

My  soul  refused  to  be  comforted. 
31  remember  God,  and  am  disquieted: 

I  complain,  and  my  spirit  ^is  overwhelmed.  [Selah 

4  Thou  boldest  mine  eyes  watching : 
I  am  so  troubled  that  I  cannot  speak. 

5  I  have  considered  the  days  of  old. 
The  years  of  ancient  times. 

6 1  call  to  remembrance  my  song  in  the  night : 
I  commune  with  mine  own  heart ; 
And  my  spirit  made  diligent  search. 

7  Will  the  Lord  cast  off  for  ever? 
And  will  he  be  favourable  no  more? 

8  Is  his  mercy  clean  gone  for  ever? 
Doth  his  promise  fail  for  evermore  ? 

9  Hath  God  forgotten  to  be  gracious  ? 
Hath  he  in  anger  shut  up  his  tender  mercies?        [Selah 

10 And  I  said.  This  is  my  infirmity; 

^But  I  will  remember  the  years  of  the  right  hand  of  the 
Most  High. 
11 1  will  make  mention  of  the  deeds  of  Hhe  Lord; 

For  I  will  remember  thy  wonders  of  old. 
121  will  meditate  also  upon  all  thy  work, 

And  muse  on  thy  doings. 

13  Thy  way,  O  God,  is  'in  the  sanctuary : 
Who  is  a  great  god  like  unto  God? 

14 Thou  art  the  God  that  doest  wonders: 

Thou  hast  made  known  thy  strength  among  the  peoples. 

15  Thou  hast  with  thine  arm  redeemed  thy  people. 

The  sons  of  Ja'cob  and  Jo'seph.  [Selah 

16  The  waters  saw  thee,  O  God ; 

The  waters  saw  thee,  they  *were  afraid : 
The  depths  also  trembled, 

17  The  clouds  poured  out  water ; 
The  skies  sent  out  a  sound : 
Thine  arrows  also  went  abroad. 

18  The  voice  of  thy  thunder  was  in  the  whirlwind; 
The  lightnings  lightened  the  world : 

The  earth  trembled  and  shook, 

19  Thy  way  was  in  the  sea, 

And  thy  paths  in  the  great  waters, 
And  thy  footsteps  were  not  known. 

20  Thou  leddest  thy  people  like  a  flock, 
By  the  hand  of  Mo'ses  and  Aa'ron.

2  'I  will  open  my  mouth,  in  a  parable :  I  will  utter 
dark  sayings  of  old : 

3  "Which  we  have  heard  and  known,  and  our  fethers 
have  told  us. 

4  ''We  will  not  hide  them  from  their  children,  'shew- 
ing to  the  generation  to  come  the  praises  oi"  the  Lord, 
and  his  strength,  and  his  wonderful  works  that  he  hath 
done. 

5  For^he  established  a  testimony  in  Ja'cob,  and  ap- 
pointed a  law  in  Is'ra-el,  which  he  commanded  our 
fathers,  "^at  they  should  make  them  known  to  their 
children : 

6  *That  the  generation  to  come  might  know  them,  even 
the  children  which  should  be  born;  who  should  arise 
and  declare  them  to  their  children : 

7  That  they  might  set  their  hope  in  God,  and 
not  forget  the  works  of  God,  but  keep  his  command- 
ments: 

8  And  'might  not  be  as  their  fathers,  *a  stubborn  and 
rebellious  generation ;  a  generation  ■f'^hat  set  not  their 
heart  aright,  and  whose  spirit  was  not  steadfast  with 
God. 

9  The  children  of  E'phra-im,  being  armed,  and  f  carry- 
ing bows,  turned  back  in  the  day  of  battle. 

10"They  kept  not  the  covenant  of  God,  and  refused 
to  walk  in  his  law ; 

11  And  "forgat  his  works,  and  his  wonders  that  he 
had  shewed  them. 

12  "Marvellous  things  did  he  in  the  sight  of  their 
fathers,  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  "in  the  field  of  Zo'an. 

13  'He  divided  the  sea,  and  caused  them  to  pass 
through;  and  'he  made  the  waters  to  stand  as  a 
heap. 

14  'In  the  daytime  also  he  led  them  with  a  cloud, 
and  all  the  night  with  a  light  of  fire. 

15  'He  clave  the  rocks  in  the  wilderness,  and  gave 
them  drinks  as  ovi  of  the  great  depths. 

16  He  brought  "streams  also  out  of  the  rock,  and 
caused  waters  to  run  down  like  rivers. 

17  And  they  sinned  yet  more  against  him  by  *pro- 
voking  the  Most  High  in  the  wilderness. 

18  And  "lihey  tempted  God  in  their  heart  by  asking 
meat  for  their  lust. 

19  'Yea,  they  spake  against  God;  they  said,  Can  God 
ffurnish  a  table  in  the  wilderness? 

20  "Behold,  he  smote  the  rock,  that  the  waters  gushed 
out,  and  the  streams  overflowed;  can  he  give  bread 
also?  can  he  provide  flesh  for  his  people? 

21  Therefore  the  Loed  heard  this,  and  'was  wroth  :  so 
a  fire  was  kindled  against  Ja'cob,  and  anger  also  came 
up  against  Is'ra-el : 

22  Because  they  "believed  not  in  God,  and  trusted  not 
in  his  salvation : 

23  Though  he  had  commanded  the  clouds  from 
above,  ''and  opened  the  doors  of  heaven, 

24  'And  had  rained  down  manna  upon  them  to 
eat,  and  had  given  them  of  the  corn  of  heaven. 

25  II  Man  did  eat  angels'  food :  he  sent  them  meat  to 
the  full. 

26  ■'^He  caused  an  east  wind  fto  blow  in  the  heaven : 
and  by  his  power  he  brought  in  the  south  wind. 

27  He  rained  flesh  also  upon  them  as  dust,  and 
ffeathered  fowls  like  as  the  sand  of  the  sea : 

28  And  he  let  it  fall  in  the  midst  of  their  camp,  round 
about  their  habitations. 

29  "So  they  did  eat,  and  were  well  filled :  for  he  gave 
them  their  own  desire ; 

30  They  were  not  estranged  from  their  lust:  but 
'-"KJie  their  meat  was  yet  in  their  mouths. 


2 1  will  open  my  mouth  in  a  parable ; 
I  will  utter  dark  sayings  of  old: 

3  Which  we  have  heard  and  known, 
And  our  fathers  have  told  us. 

4  We  will  not  hide  them  from  their  children, 

Telling  to  the  generation  to  come  the  praises  of  the  Lord, 
And  his  strength,  and  his  wondrous  works  that  he  hath 
done. 

5  For  he  established  a  testimony  in  Ja'cob, 
And  appointed  a  law  in  Is'ra-el, 
Which  he  commanded  our  fathers. 

That  they  should  make  them  known  to  their  children: 

6  That  the  generation  to  come  might  know  them,  even  the 

children  which  should  be  born ; 
Who  should  arise  and  tell  them  to  their  children : 

7  That  they  might  set  their  hope  in  God, 
And  not  forget  the  works  of  God, 
But  keep  his  commandments: 

8  And  might  not  be  as  their  fathers, 

A  stubborn  and  rebellious  generation : 

A  generation  'that  set  not  their  heart  aright. 

And  whose  spirit  was  not  steadfast  with  God. 

9  The  children  of  E'phra-im  being  armed  and  carrying  bows, 
Turned  back  in  the  day  of  battle. 

10  They  kept  not  the  covenant  of  God, 
And  refused  to  walk  in  his  law; 

11  And  they  forgat  his  doings, 

And  his  wondrous  works  that  he  had  shewed  them. 

12  Marvellous  things  did  he  in  the  sight  of  their  fethers, 
In  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  the  field  of  Zo'an. 

13 He  clave  the  sea,  and  caused  them  to  pass  through; 
And  he  made  the  waters  to  stand  as  an  heap. 

14  In  the  day-time  also  he  led  them  with  a  cloud, 
And  all  the  night  with  a  light  of  fire. 

15  He  clave  rocks  in  the  wilderness, 

And  gave  them  drink  abundantly  as  out  of  the  depths. 

16  He  brought  streams  also  out  of  the  rock, 
And  caused  waters  to  run  down  like  rivers. 

17  Yet  went  they  on  still  to  sin  against  him. 

To  rebel  against  th«  Most  High  in  ^he  desert. 

18  And  they  tempted  God  in  their  heart 
By  asking  meat  for  their  lust. 

19 Yea,  they  spake  against  God; 

They  said.  Can  God  prepare  a  table  in  the  wilderness  ? 

20  Behold,  he  smote  the  rock,  that  waters  gushed  out, 
And  streams  overflowed ; 

Can  he  give  bread  also? 

Will  he  provide  flesh  for  his  people  ? 

21  Therefore  the  Lord  heard,  and  was  wroth: 
And  a  fire  was  kindled  against  Ja'cob, 
And  anger  also  went  up  against  Is'ra-el; 

22  Because  they  believed  not  in  God, 
And  trusted  not  in  his  salvation. 

23  Yet  he  commanded  the  skies  above, 
And  opened  the  doors  of  heaven ; 

24  And  he  rained  down  manna  upon  them  to  eat, 
And  gave  them  of  the  corn  of  heaven. 

25 'Man  did  eat  the  bread  of  the  mighty: 
He  sent  them  meat  to  the  full. 

26  He  'caused  the  east  wind  to  blow  in  the  heaven : 
And  by  his  power  he  guided  the  south  wind. 

27  He  rained  flesh  also  upon  them  as  the  dust, 
And  winged  fowl  as  the  sand  of  the  seas: 

28  And  he  let  it  fall  in  the  midst  of  their  ^mp, 
Round  about  their  habitations. 

29  So  they  did  eat  and  were  well  filled ; 
And  he  gave  them  that  they  lusted  after.

31  The  wrath  of  God  came  upon  them,  and  slew  the 
fattest  of  them,  and  fsQiote  down  the  ||  chosen  men  of 
Is'ra-el. 

32  For  all  this  *they  sinned  still,  and  *believed  not  for 
his  wondrous  works. 

33  'Therefore  their  days  did  he  consume  in  vanity,  and 
their  years  in  trouble. 

34  ""When  he  slew  them,  then  they  sought  him:  and 
they  returned  and  inquired  early  after  God. 

35  And  they  remembered  that  "God  was  their  Rock, 
and  the  high  God  "their  Redeemer. 

36  Nevertheless  they  did  "flatter  him  with  their  mouth, 
and  they  lied  unto  him  with  their  tongues. 

37  For  'their  heart  was  not  right  with  him,  neither 
were  they  steadfast  in  his  covenant. 

38  ""But  he,  being  full  of  compassion,  forgave  their  in- 
iquity, and  destroyed  them  not :  yea,  many  a  time  turned 
he  his  anger  away,  'and  did  not  stir  up  all  his  wrath. 

39  Fur  "he  remembered  "'that  they  were  but  flesh ;  "a 
wind  that  passeth  away,  and  cometh  not  again. 

40  How  oft  did  they  H'^provoke  him  in  the  wilderness, 
and  grieve  him  in  the  desert ! 

41  Yea,  "they  turned  back  and  tempted  God,  and 
''limited  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

42  They  remembered  not  his  hand,  nor  the  day  when 
he  delivered  them  ||from  the  enemy: 

43  How  'he  had  fwrought  his  signs  in  E'gypt,  and  his 
wonders  in  the  field  of  Zo'an  : 

44  ''And  had  turned  their  rivers  into  blood :  and  their 
floods,  that  they  could  not  drink. 

45  'He  sent  divers  sorts  of  flies  among  them,  which 
devoured  them ;  and  ■''frogs,  which  destroyed  them. 

46  "He  gave  also  their  increase  unto  the  caterpillar,

47  '■He  fdestroyed  their  vines  with  hail,  and  their 
sycamore  trees  with  ||  frost. 

48  'fHe  gave  up  their  cattle  also  to  the  hail,  and  their 
flocks  to  II  hot  thunderbolts. 

49  He  cast  upon  them  the  fierceness  of  his  anger, 
wrath,  and  indignation,  and  trouble,  by  sending  evil 
angels  among  them. 

50  fHe  made  a  way  to  his  anger ;  he  spared  not  their 
soul  from  death,  but  gave  ||  their  life  over  to  the  pesti- 
lence; 

51  *And  smote  all  the  firstborn  in  E'gypt ;  the  chief 
of  their  strength  in  'the  tabernacles  of  Ham : 

52  But  ""made  his  own  people  to  go  forth  like  sheep, 
and  guided  them  in  the  wilderness  like  a  flock. 

53  And  he  "led  them  on  safely,  so  that  they  feared  not : 
but  the  sea  "foverwhelmed  their  enemies. 

54  And  he  brought  them  to  the  border  of  his  "sanc- 
tuary, even  to  this  mountain,  "which  his  right  hand  had 
purchased. 

65  ''He  cast  out  the  heathen  also  before  them,  and 
'divided  them  an  inheritance  by  line,  and  made  the  tribes 
of  Is'ra-el  to  dwell  in  their  tents. 

56  'Yet  they  tempted  and  provoked  the  most  high 
God,  and  kept  not  his  testimonies : 

57  But  "turned  back,  and  dealt  unfiiithfuUy  like  their 
fathers ;  they  were  turned  aside  ''like  a  deceitful  bow. 

58  "For  they  provoked  him  to  anger  with  their  'high 
places,  and  moved  him  to  jealousy  with  their  graven 
images. 

59  When  God  heard  this,  he  was  wroth,  and  greatly 
abhorred  Is'ra-el : 

60  "So  that  he  forsook  the  tabernacle  of  Shi'loh,  the 
teit  which  he  placed  among  men ; 

61  ''And  delivered  his  strength  into  captivity,  and  his 
glory  into  the  enemy's  hand. 


31  When  the  anger  of  God  went  up  against  them, 
And  slew  the  fattest  of  them, 
And  smote  down  the  young  men  of  Is'ra-el. 

32  For  all  this  they  sinned  still. 
And  believed  not  in  his  wondrous  works. 

33  Therefore  their  days  did  he  consume  in  vanity, 
And  their  years  in  terror. 

34  When  he  slew  them,  then  they  inquired  after  him : 
And  they  returned  and  sought  God  'early. 

35  And  they  remembered  that  God  was  their  rock, 
And  the  Most  High  God  their  redeemer. 

36  But  they  flattered  him  with  their  mouth, 
And  lied  unto  him  with  their  tongue. 

37  For  their  heart  was  not  ^right  with  him. 
Neither  were  they  faithful  in  his  covenant. 

38  But  he,  being  full  of  compassion,  forgave  their  iniquity, 

and  destroyed  them  not : 
Yea,  many  a  time  turned  he  his  anger  away, 
And  did  not  stir  up  all  his  wrath. 

39  And  he  remembered  that  they  were  but  flesh ; 
A  wind  that  passeth  away,  and  cometh  not  again. 

40  How  oft  did  they  rebel  against  him  in  the  wilderness, 
And  grieve  him  in  the  desert ! 

41  And  they  turned  again  and  tempted  God, 
And  ■''provoked  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

42  They  remembered  not  his  hand. 
Nor  the  day  when  he  redeemed  them  from  the  adversary. 

43  How  he  set  his  signs  in  E'gypt, 
And  his  wonders  in  the  field  of  Zo'an; 

44  And  turned  their  rivers  into  blood. 
And  their  streams,  that  they  could  not  drink. 

45  He  sent  among  them  swarms  of  flies,  which  devoured 

them; 
And  frogs,  which  destroyed  them. 

46  He  gave  also  their  increase  unto  the  caterpiller, 
And  their  labour  unto  the  locust. 

47  He  ^destroyed  their  vines  with  hail, 
And  their  sycomore  trees  with  *frost. 

48  He  gave  over  their  cattle  also  to  the  hail. 
And  their  flocks  to  hot  thunderbolts. 

49  He  cast  upon  them  the  fierceness  of  his  anger, 
Wrath,  and  indignation,  and  trouble, 

'A  band  of  angels  of  evil. 

50  He  'made  a  path  for  his  anger ; 

He  spared  not  their  soul  from  death. 
But  gave  "their  life  over  to  the  pestilence; 

51  And  smote  all  the  firstborn  in  E'gypt, 

The  "chief  of  their  strength  in  the  tents  of  Ham: 

52  But  he  led  forth  his  own  people  like  sheep. 
And  guided  them  in  the  wilderness  like  a  flock. 

53  And  he  led  them  safely,  so  that  they  feared  not : 
But  the  sea  overwhelmed  their  enemies. 

54  And  he  brought  them  to  '"the  border  of  his  sanctuary. 
To  this  "mountain,  which  his  right  hand  had  purchased. 

55  He  drove  out  the  nations  also  before  them. 
And  allotted  them  for  an  inheritance  by  line. 

And  made  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el  to  dwell  in  their  tents. 

56  Yet  they  tempted  and  rebelled  against  the  Most  High  God, 
And  kept  not  his  testimonies ; 

57  But  turned  back,  and  dealt  treacherously  like  their  fethers : 
They  were  turned  aside  like  a  deceitful  bow, 

58  For  they  provoked  him  to  anger  with  their  high  places. 
And  moved  him  to  jealousy  with  their  graven  images.

To  the  chief  Musician  ^upon  Shoshannim-eduth,  A  Psalm  |  of  Asaph. 

GIVE  ear,  O  Shepherd  of  Is'rael,  thou  that  leadest 
Jo'seph  "like  a  flock;  Hhou  that  dwellest  between

And  was  wroth  with  his  inheritance.

Like  a  mighty  man  that  shouteth  by  reason  of  wine. 

66  And  he  smote  his  adversaries  backward : 
He  put  them  to  a  perpetual  reproach. 

67  Moreover  he  refused  the  tent  of  Jo'seph, 
And  chose  not  the  tribe  of  E'phra-im; 

68  But  chose  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah, 
The  mount  Zi'on  which  he  loved. 

69  And  he  built  his  sanctuary  like  the  heights.

And  guided  them  by  the  skilfulness  of  his  hands. 

/y  A  Psalm  of  Asaph. 

1  O  God,  the  'heathen  are  come  into  thine  inheritance ; 
Thy  holy  temple  have  they  defiled; 
They  have  laid  Je-ru'sa-lem  on  heaps. 

2  The  dead  bodies  of  thy  servants  have  they  given  to  be

4  We  are  become  a  reproach  to  our  neighbours, 

A  scorn  and  derision  to  them  that  are  round  about  us. 

5  How  long,  O  Lord,  wilt  thou  be  angry  for  ever? 
Shall  thy  jealousy  burn  like  fire? 

6  Pour  out  thy  wrath  upon  the  heathen  that  know  thee  not. 
And  upon  the  kingdoms  that  call  not  upon  thy  name. 

7  For  they  have  devoured  Ja'cob, 
And  laid  waste  his  ^habitation. 

8  Remember  not  against  us  the  iniquities  of  our  forefathers : 
Let  thy  tender  mercies  speedily  prevent  ^s: 
For  we  are  brought  very  low. 

9  Help  us,  O  God  of  our  salvation,  for  the  glory  of  thy

And  deliver  us,and  purge  away  our  sin8,for  thy  name'ssake. 
10 Wherefore  should  the  heathen  say.  Where  is  their  God? 
Let  the  revenging  of  the  blood  of  thy  servants  which  is 

shed 
Be  known  among  the  heathen  in  our  sight. 

11  Let  the  sighing  of  the  prisoner  come  before  thee; 
According  to  the  greatness  of  Hhy  power  preserve  thou 

^those  that  are  appointed  to  death ;

Their  reproach,  wherewith  they  have  reproached  thee,  O

that  all  they  which  pass  by  the  way  do  pluck  her?

wild  beast  of  the  field  doth  devour  it. 

14  Return,  we  beseech  thee,  O  God  of  hosts :  "look 
down  from  heaven,  and  behold,  and  visit  this  vine ; 

15  And  the  vineyard  which  thy  righthand  hath  planted,

we  will  call  upon  thy  name.

FSALJM    LXXXI. 

An  exhortation  to  a  solemn  praising  of  God. 
To  the  chief  Musician  *upon  Gittith,  A  Psalm  of  |  Asaph. 

SING  aloud  unto  God  our  strength:  make  a  joyful 
noise  unto  the  God  of  Ja'cob. 

2  Take  a  psalm,  and  bring  hither  the  timbrel,  the 
pleasant  harp  with  the  psaltery. 

3  Blow  up  the  trumpet  in  the  new  moon,  in  the  time 
appointed,  on  our  solemn  feast  day. 

4  For  "this  was  a  statute  for  Is'ra-el,  and  a  law  of  the 
God  of  Ja'cob. 

5  This  he  ordained  in  Jo'seph  for  a  testimony,  when 
he  went  out  || through  the  land  of  E'gypt:  ^where  I 
heard  a  language  that  I  understood  not. 

6  "I  removed  his  shoulder  from  the  burden  :  his  hands 
fwere  delivered  ''from  the  pots. 

7  "Thou  calledst  in  trouble,  and  I  delivered  thee:  •''I 
answered  thee  in  the  secret  place  of  thunder :  I  "proved 
thee  at  the  waters  of  ||  Mer'i-bah.     Selah. 

8  *Hear,  O  my  people,  and  I  will  testify  unto  thee :  O 
Is'ra-el,  if  thou  wilt  hearken  unto  me; 

9  *There  shall  no  ^strange  God  be  in  thee;  neither 
shalt  thou  worship  any  strange  god. 

10  'I  am  the  Lord  thy  God  which  broughtthee  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt :  "open  thy  mouth  wide,  and  I  will  fill  it. 

11  But  my  people  would  not  hearken  to  my  voice; 
and  Is'ra-el  would  "none  of  me. 

12  "So  I  gave  them  up  ||unto  their  own  hearts'  lust: 
and  they  walked  in  their  own  counsels. 

13  "Oh  that  my  people  had  hearkened  unto  me,  and 
Is'ra-el  had  walked  in  my  ways ! 

14  I  should  soon  have  subdued  their  enemies,  and 
turned  my  hand  against  their  adversaries. 


3  'Turn  us  again,  O  God ; 

And  cause  thy  face  to  shine,  and  we  shall  be  saved. 

4  O  Lord  God  of  hosts, 

How  long  ^wilt  thou  be  angrj'  against  the  prayer  of  thy 
people  ? 

5  Thou  hast  fed  them  with  the  bread  of  tears. 
And  given  them  tears  to  drink  in  large  measure. 

6  Thou  makest  us  a  strife  unto  our  neighbours : 
And  our  enemies  laugh  among  themselves. 

7 Turn  us  again,  O  God  of  hosts; 
And  cause  thy  face  to  shine,  and  we  shall  be  saved. 

8  Thou  broughtest  a  vine  out  of  E'gypt : 

Thou  didst  drive  out  the  nations,  and  plantedst  it. 

9  Thou  preparedst  room  before  it. 

And  it  took  deep  root,  and  filled  the  land. 

10  The  mountains  were  covered  with  the  shadow  of  it. 
And  Hhe  boughs  thereof  were  like  *cedars  of  God. 

11  She  sent  out  her  branches  unto  the  sea. 
And  her  shoots  unto  the  River. 

12  Why  hast  thou  broken  down  her  fences. 

So  that  all  they  which  pass  by  the  way  do  pluck  her? 

13  The  boar  out  of  the  wood  doth  ravage  it, 
And  the  wild  beasts  of  the  field  feed  on  it. 

14 Turn  again,  we  beseech  thee,  O  God  of  hosts: 

Look  down  from  heaven,  and  behold,  and  visit  this  vine, 

15  And  'the  stock  which  thy  right  hand  hath  planted, 
And  the  ^branch  that  thou  madest  strong  for  thyself. 

16  It  is  burned  with  fire,  it  is  cut  down : 
They  perish  at  the  rebuke  of  thy  countenance. 

17  Let  thy  hand  be  upon  the  man  of  thy  right  hand. 
Upon  the  son  of  man  whom  thou  madest  strong  for  thyself. 

18 So  shall  we  not  go  back  from  thee: 

Quicken  thou  us,  and  we  will  call  upon  thy  name. 
19 Turn  us  again,  O  Lord  God  of  hosts; 

Cause  thy  face  to  shine,  and  we  shall  be  saved. 

Ol  For  the  Chief  Musician,  set  to  the  Gittith. 

04-  A  Psalm  of  Asaph. 

1  Sing  aloud  unto  God  our  strength : 

Make  a  joyfiil  noise  unto  the  God  of  Ja'cob. 

2  Take  up  the  psalm,  and  'bring  hither  the  timbrel, 
The  pleasant  harp  with  the  psaltery. 

3  Blow  up  the  trumpet  in  the  new  moon. 
At  the  full  moon,  on  our  solemn  feast  day. 

4  For  it  is  a  statute  for  Is'ra-el, 

An  ordinance  of  the  God  of  Ja'cob. 
5IIe  appointed  it  in  Jo'seph  for  'a  testimony. 

When  he  went  out  *over  the  land  of  E'gypt : 

Where  I  heard  'a  language  that  I  knew  not. 
6 1  removed  his  shoulder  from  the  burden : 

His  hands  were  freed  from  the  basket. 

7  Thou  calledst  in  trouble,  and  I  delivered  thee ; 
I  answered  thee  in  the  secret  place  of  thunder ; 

I  proved  thee  at  the  waters  of  Mer'i-bah.  [Selah 

8  Hear,  O  my  people,  and  I  will  testify  unto  thee : 
O  Ls'ra-el,  if  thou  wouldest  hearken  unto  me  ! 

9  There  shall  no  strange  god  be  in  thee ; 
Neither  shalt  thou  worship  any  strange  god. 

101  am  the  Lord  thy  God, 

Which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt : 
Open  thy  mouth  wide,  and  I  will  fill  it. 

11  But  my  people  hearkened  not  to  my  voice; 
And  Is'ra-el  would  none  of  me. 

12  So  I  let  them  go  after  the  stubbornness  of  their  heart. 
That  they  might  walk  in  their  own  counsels. 

13  Oh  that  my  people  would  hearken  unto  me, 
That  Is'ra-el  would  walk  in  my  ways! 

14 1  should  soon  subdue  their  enemies. 

And  turn  my  hand  against  their  adversaries.

A  Song  or  Psalm  I  of  Asaph. 

KEEP  "not  thou  silence,  O  God :  hold  not  thy  peace, 
and  be  not  still,  O  God.

that  "hate  thee  have  lifted  up  the  head.

being  a  nation;  that  the  name  of  Is'ra-el  may  be  no 
more  in  remembrance. 

5  For  they  have  consulted  together  with  one  fcon-

God  in  possession. 

13  "O  my  God,  make  them  like  a  wheel;  "as  the

14  As  the  fire  burneth  a  wood,  and  as  the  flame  "set- 
teth  the  mountains  on  fire ;

them  afraid  with  thy  storm.

PSALNI    LXXXIX. 

The  Psalmist  praiseth  God/or  his  covenant  and  wonderful  power, 
\  Maschil  of  *Ethan  the  Eerahite. 

I  "WILL  sing  of  the  mercies  of  the  Lord  for  ever: 
with  my  mouth  will  I  make  known  thy  faithfulness 
fto  all  generations. 

2  For  I  have  said,  Mercy  shall  be  built  up  for  ever:  'thy 
faithfulness  shalt  thou  establish  in  the  very  heavens. 

3  *I  have  made  a  covenant  with  my  chosen,  I  have 
''sworn  unto  Da'vid  my  servant, 

4  'Thy  seed  will  I  establish  for  ever,  and  build  up  thy 
throne  -to  all  generations.     Selah. 

5  And  "the  heavens  shall  praise  thy  ^vt)nders,  O  Lord  : 
thy  faithfulness  also  in  the  congregation  ''of  the  saints. 

6  For  'who  in  the  heaven  can  be  compared  unto  the 
Lord  ?  who  among  the  sons  of  the  mighty  can  be  likened 
unto  the  Lord? 

7  *God  is  greatly  to  be  feared  in  the  assembly  of  the 
saints,  and  to  be  had  in  reverence  of  all  them  that  are 
about  him. 

8  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  who  is  a  strong  Lord  'like 
unto  thee?  or  to  thy  faithfulness  round  about  thee? 

9  "Thou  rulest  the  raging  of  the  sea :  when  the  waves 
thereof  arise,  thou  stillest  them. 

10  "Thou  hast  broken  ||  Ra'hab  in  pieces,  as  one  that 
is  slain ;  thou  hast  scattered  thine  enemies  fwith  thy 
strong  arm. 

11  "The  heavens  are  thine,  the  earth  also  is  thine:  as  for 
the  world  and  the  fulness  thereof,  thou  hast  founded  them. 

12  "The  north  and  the  south  thou  hast  created  them: 
'Ta'bor  and  'Her'mon  shall  rejoice  in  thy  name. 

13  Thou  hast  fa  mighty  arm:  strong  is  thy  hand, 
and  high  is  thy  right  hand. 

14  "Justice  and  judgment  are  the  ||  habitation  of  thy 
throne :  'mercy  and  truth  shall  go  before  thy  face. 

15  Blessed  is  the  people  that  know  the  "joyful  sound: 
they  shall  walk,  O  Lord,  in  the  ""light  of  thy  counte- 
nance. 

16  In  thy  name  shall  they  rejoice  all  the  day :  and 
in  thy  righteousness  shall  they  be  exalted.     . 

17  For  thou  art  the  glory  of  their  strength;  "and  in 
thy  favour  our  horn  shall  be  exalted. 

18  For  II  the  Lord  is  our  defence;  and  the  Holy  One 
of  Is'ra-el  is  our  King. 

19  Then  thou  spakest  in  vision  to  thy   Holy   One, 


8 Thou  hast  put  mine  acquaintance  tar  from  me; 

Thou  hast  made  me  an  aoomination  unto  them : 

I  am  shut  up,  and  I  can  not  come  forth. 
9  Mine  eye  wasteth  away  by  reason  of  affliction : 

I  have  called  daily  upon  thee,  O  Lord, 

I  have  spread  forth  my  hands  unto  thee. 

10  Wilt  thou  shew  wonders  to  the  dead  ? 

Shall  'they  that  are  deceased  arise  and  praise  thee  ?  [Selah 

11  Shall  thy  lovingkindness  be  declared  in  the  grave? 
Or  thy  faithfulness  in  ^Destruction? 

12 Shall  thy  wonders  be  known  in  the  dark? 

And  thy  righteousness  in  the  land  of  forgetfulness? 

13  But  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  have  I  cried, 

And  in  the  morning  shall  my  prayer  come  before  thee. 

14  Lord,  why  castest  thou  off  my  soul  ? 
Why  hidest  thou  thy  face  from  me? 

151  am  afflicted  and  ready  to  die  from  my  youth  up: 
While  I  suffer  thy  terrors  I  am  distracted. 

1 6  Thy  fierce  wrath  is  gone  over  me ; 
Thy  terrors  have  cut  me  off. 

17 They  came  round  about  me  like  water  all  the  day  long; 
They  compassed  me  about  together. 

18  Lover  and  friend  hast  thou  put  far  from  me, 
And  mine  acquaintance  'into  darkness. 

Ov  Maschil  of  Btban  the  Bzrahite. 

1 1  will  sing  of  the  mercies  of  the  Lord  for  ever : 
With  my  mouth  will  I  make  known  thy  faithfulness  to

,5  And  the  heavens  shall  praise  thy  wonders,  O  Lord  ; 

Thy  faithfulness  also  in  the  assembly  of  the  holy  ones. 

6  For  who  in  the  skies  can  be  compared  unto  the  Lord? 
Who  among  the  ^sons  of  the  ''mighty  is  like  unto  the  Lord, 

7  A  God  very  terrible  in  the  council  of  the  holy  ones. 
And  to  be  feared  above  all  them  that  are  round  about  him  ? 

8  O  Lord  God  of  hosts. 

Who  is  a  mighty  one,  like  unto  thee,  O  jah? 
And  thy  faithfulness  is  round  about  thee. 

9  Thou  rulest  the  pride  of  the  sea : 

When  the  waves  thereof  arise,  thou  stillest  them. 
10 Thou  hast  broken  'Ra'hab  in  pieces,  as  one  that  is  slain; 
Thou  hast  scattered  thine  enemies  with  the  arm  of  thy 
strength. 
11  The  heavens  are  thine,  the  earth  also  is  thine : 

The  world  and  the  fulness  thereof,  thou  hast  founded

13  Thou  hast  'a  mighty  arm : 

Strong  is  thy  hand,  and  high  is  thy  right  hand. 

14  Righteousness  and  judgement  are  the  foundation  of  thy 

throne : 
Mercy  and  truth  go  before  thy  face. 

15  Bles-sed  is  the  people  that  know  the  joyful  sound : 
They  walk,  O  Lord,  in  the  light  of  thy  countenance. 

16  In  thy  name  do  they  rejoice  all  the  day : 
And  in  thy  righteousness  are  they  exalted. 

17  For  thou  art  the  glory  of  their  strength :

25  'I  will  set  his  hand  also  in  the  sea,  and  his  right 
hand  in  the  rivers. 

26  He  shall  cry  unto  me,  Thou  art  *my  Father,  my 
God,  and  the  Rock  of  my  salvation. 

27  Also  I  will  make  him  *my  firstborn,  Tiigher  than

43  Thou  hast  also  turned  the  edge  of  his  sword,  and 
hast  not  made  him  to  stand  in  the  battle. 

44  Thou  hast  made  his  fglory  to  cease,  and  Aiast  his

How  I  do  bear  in  my  bosom  the   reproach  of  all  the

I A  Prayer  "of  Moses  the  man  of  God. 

LORD,  °thou  hast  been  our  dwellingplace   fin  all 
generations. 

2  ''Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth,  or  ever 
thou  hadst  formed  the  earth  and  the  world,  even  from 
everlasting  to  everlasting,  thou  art  God. 

3  Thou  turnest  man  to  destruction;  and  sayestj  *Re- 
turn,  ye  children  of  men. 

4  "Tor  a  thousand  years  in  thy  sight  are  but  as  yes- 
terday II  when  it  is  past,  and  as  a  watch  in  the  night. 

5  Thou  carriest  them  away  as  with  a  flood ;  'they  are 
as  a  sleep;  in  the  morning  Hhey  are  like  grass  which 
llgroweth  up. 

6  'In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and  groweth  up;  in 
the  evening  it  is  cut  down,  and  withereth. 

7  For  we  are  consumed  by  thine  anger,  and  by  thy 
wrath  are  we  troubled. 

8  *Thou  hast  set  our  iniquities  before  thee,  our  'secret 
sins  in  the  light  of  thy  countenance. 

9  For  all  our  days  are  fpassed  away  in  thy  wrath: 
we  spend  our  years  ||as  a  tale  that  is  told. 

10  fThe  days  of  our  years  are  threescore  years  and 
ten ;  and  if  by  reason  of  strength  they  be  fourscore  years, 
yet  is  their  strength  labour  and  sorrow ;  for  it  is  soon 
cut  off,  and  we  fly  away. 

11  Who  knoweth  the  power  of  thine  anger?  even  ac- 
cording to  thy  fear,  so  is  thy  wrath. 

12  'So  teach  us  to  number  our  days,  that  we  may 
fapply  our  hearts  unto  wisdom. 

13  Return,  O  Lord,  how  long?  and  let  it  'repent  thee 
concerning  thy  servants. 

14  O  satisfy  us  early  with  thy  mercy ;  "that  we  may 
rejoice  and  be  glad  all  our  days. 

15  Make  us  glad  according  to  the  days  wherein

BOOK    IV. 

A  Prayer  of  Moses  the  man  of  God. 

1  Lord,  thou  hast  been  our  dwelling  place 
In  all  generations. 

2  Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth. 

Or  ever  thou  'hadst  formed  the  earth  and  the  world, 
Even  from  everlasting  to  everlasting,  thou  art  God. 

3  Thou  turnest  man  to  ^destruction ; 
And  sayest.  Return,  ye  children  of  men. 

4  For  a  thousand  years  in  thy  sight 
Are  but  as  yesterday  'when  it  is  past. 
And  as  a  watch  in  the  night. 

5 Thou  carriest  them  away  as  with  a  flood;  they  are  as  a 
sleep : 
In  the  morning  they  are  like  grass  which  groweth  up. 

6  In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and  groweth  up ; 
In  the  evening  it  is  cut  down,  and  withereth. 

7  For  we  are  consumed  in  thine  anger, 
And  in  thy  wrath  are  we  troubled. 

8  Thou  hast  set  our  iniquities  before  thee. 

Our  secret  sins  in  the  light  of  thy  countenance. 

9  For  all  our  days  are  passed  away  in  thy  wrath : 
We  bring  our  years  to  an  end  as  *a  tale  that  is  told. 

10  The  days  of  our  years  are  threescore  years  and  ten. 
Or  even  by  reason  of  strength  fourscore  years ; 
Yet  is  their  pride  but  labour  and  sorrow ; 

For  it  is  soon  gone,  and  we  fly  away. 

11  Who  kuoweth  the  power  of  thine  anger. 

And  thy  wrath  according  to  the  fear  that  is  due  unto  thee? 

12  So  teach  us  to  number  our  days. 

That  we  may  get  us  an  heart  of  wisdom. 
13 Return,  O  Lord;  how  long? 

And  let  it  repent  thee  concerning  thy  servants. 

14  O  satisfy  us  in  the  mornir:  with  thy  mercy ; 
That  we  may  rejoice  and    >e  glad  all  our  days., 

15  Make  us  glad  according  to  the  days  wherein  thou  hast 

afflicted  us, 
And  the  years  wherein  we  have  seen  evil. 

16  Let  thy  work  appear  unto  thy  servants, 
And  thy  glory  upon  their  children. 

17  And  let  the  'beauty  of  the  Lord  our  God  be  upon  us: 
And  establish  thou  the  work  of  our  hands  upon  us; 
Yea,  the  work  of  our  hands  establish  thou  it. 

vi  He  that  dwelleth  in  the  secret  place  of  the  Most  High 
'Shall  abide  under  the  shadow  of  the  Almighty. 
2 1  will  say  of  the  Lord,  He  is  my  refuge  and  my  fortress ; 
My  God,  in  whom  I  trust. 

3  For  he  shall  deliver  thee  from  the  snare  of  the  fowler. 
And  from  the  noisome  pestilence. 

4  He  shall  cover  thee  with  his  pinions, 

And  under  his  wings  shalt  thou  take  refuge: 
His  truth  is  a  shield  and  a  buckler. 

5  Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid  for  the  terror  by  night, 
Nor  for  the  arrow  that  flieth  by  day ; 

6  For  the  pestilence  that  walketh  in  darkness. 
Nor  for  the  destruction  that  wasteth  at  noonday. 

7  A  thousand  shall  fall  at  thy  side. 
And  ten  thousand  at  thy  right  hand ; 
But  it  shall  not  come  nigh  thee. 

8  Only  with  thine  eyes  shalt  thou  behold, 
And  see  the  reward  of  the  wicked. 

9  'For  thou,  O  Lord,  art  my  refuge ! 

Thou  hast  made  the  Most  High  thy  habitatioa; 
10  There  shall  no  evil  be&U  thee. 

Neither  shall  any  plague  come  nigh  thy  tent.

psalm:  xcii. 

The  Prophet  exhorteth  to  praise  God  for  his  great  works, 
A  Psalm  or  Song  for  the  sabbath  day. 

TTis  "a  good  thing  to  give  thanks  unto  the  Lord, 
-*    and  to  sing  praises  unto  thy  name,  O  Most  High : 

2  To  'shew  forth  thy  lovingkindness  in  the  morning, 
and  thy  faithfulness  fevery  night, 

3  "Upon  an  instrument  of  ten  strings,  and  upon  the 
psaltery;  ||  upon  the  harp  with  fa  solemn  sound. 

4  For  thou.  Lord,  hast  made  me  glad  through  thy 
work :  I  will  triumph  in  the  works  of  thy  hands. 

5  ''O  Lord,  how  great  are  thy  works!  and  'thy 
thoughts  are  very  deep. 

6  -^A  brutish  man  knoweth  not;  neither  doth  a  fool 
understand  this. 

7  When  "the  wicked  spring  as  the  grass,  and  when 
all  the  workers  of  iniquity  do  flourish ;  it  is  that  they 
shall  be  destroyed  for  ever : 

8  ''But  thou.  Lord,  art  most  high  for  evermore. 

9  For,  lo,  thine  enemies,  O  Lord,  for,  lo,  thine  ene-

scattered. 

10  But  *my  horn  shalt  thou  exalt  like  the  horn  of  a

11  "Mine  eye  also  shall  see  my  desire  on  mine  ene-

deliver  him : 

I  will  set  him  on  high,  because  he  hath  known  my  name. 
15 He  shall  call  upon  me,  and  I  will  answer  him; 

I  will  be  with  him  in  trouble :

4  For  thou.  Lord,  hast  made  me  glad  through  thy  work : 
I  will  triumph  in  the  works  of  thy  hands. 

5  How  great  are  thy  works,  O  Lord  ! 
Thy  thoughts  are  very  deep.

Neither  doth  a  fool  understand  this:

the  wicked  triumph  ? 

4  How  long  shall  they  'utter  and  speak  hard  things? 
and  all  the  workers  of  iniquity  boast  themselves  ? 

5  They  break  in  pieces  thy  people,  O  Lord,  and

6  They  slay  the  widow  and  the  stranger,  and  murder 
the  fatherless.

rect? he  that  "teacheth  man  knowledge,  shall  not  he

13  That  thou  mayest  give  him  rest  from  the  days  of 
adversity,  until  the  pit  be  digged  for  the  wicked.

An  exhortation  to  praise  God  for  his  goodness. 

OCOME,  let  us  sing  unto  the  Lord  :  "let  us  make  a 
joyful  noise  to  ''the  Rock  of  our  salvation. 

2  Let  us  fcome  before  his  presence  with  thanksgiving, 
and  make  a  joyful  noise  unto  him  with  psalms. 

3  For  "the  Lord  is  a  great  God,  and  a  great  King 
above  all  gods. 

4  flo  his  hand  are  the  deep  places  of  the  earth :  ||  the 
strength  of  the  hills  is  his  also. 

5  fThe  sea  is  his,  and  he  made  it:  and  his  hands 
formed  the  dry  land. 

6  O  come,  let  us  worship  and  bow  down :  let  'us  kneel 
before  the  Lord  our  maker. 

7  For  he  is  our  God ;  and  •''we  are  the  people  of  his 
pasture,  and  the  sheep  of  his  hand.  "To-day  if  ye  will 
hear  his  voice, 

8  Harden  not  your  heart,  *as  in  the  fprovocation,  and 
as  in  the  day  of  temptation  in  the  wilderness : 

9  When  'your  fathers  tempted  me,  proved  me,  and 
'saw  my  work. 

10  Torty  years  long  was  I  grieved  with  this  genera- 
tion, and  said,  It  is  a  {)eople  that  do  err  in  their  heart, 
and  they  have  not  known  my  ways : 


3  Lord,  how  long  shall  tHe  wicked, 
How  long  shall  the  wicked  triumph? 

4  They  prate,  they  speak  arrogantly : 

All  the  workers  of  iniquity  boast  themselves. 

5  They  break  in  pieces  thy  people,  O  Lord, 
And  afflict  thine  heritage. 

6  They  slay  the  widow  and  the  stranger, 
And  murder  the  fatherless. 

7  And  they  say,  'The  Lord  shall  not  see. 
Neither  shall  the  God  of  Ja'cob  consider. 

8  Consider,  ye  brutish  among  the  people : 
And  ye  fools,  when  will  ye  be  wise? 

9 He  that  planted  the  ear,  shall  he  not  hear? 
He  that  formed  the  eye,  shall  he  not  see? 

10  He  that  ^chastiseth  the  nations,  shall  not  he  correct, 
Even  he  that  teacheth  man  knowledge? 

11  The  Lord  knoweth  the  thoughts  of  man, 
'That  they  are  *vanity. 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  whom  thou  chastenest,  'O  Lord, 
And  teachest  out  of  thy  law ; 

13  That  thou  mayest  give  him  rest  from  the  days  of  adversity, 
Until  the  pit  be  digged  for  the  wicked. 

14  For  the  Lord  will  not  cast  off  his  people. 
Neither  will  he  forsake  his  inheritance. 

15  For  judgement  shall  return  unto  righteousness: 
And  all  the  upright  in  heart  shall  follow  it. 

16  Who  will  rise  up  for  me  against  the  evil-doers? 

Who    will   stand   up    for   me   against  the  workers    of 
iniquity  ? 

17  Unless  the  Lord  had  been  my  help. 
My  soul  had  soon  dwelt  in  silence. 

18  When  I  said,  My  foot  slippeth; 
Thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  held  me  up. 

19  In  the  multitude  of  my  thoughts  within  me 
Thy  comforts  delight  my  soul. 

20  Shall  the  ^throne  of  wickedness  have  fellowship  with  thee. 
Which  frameth  mischief  by  statute? 

21  They  gather  themselves  together  against  the  soul  of  the 

righteous, 
And  condemn  the  innocent  blood. 

22  But  the  Lord  hath  been  my  high  tower; 
And  my  God  the  rock  of  my  refuge. 

23  And  he  hath  brought  upon  them  their  own  iniquity. 
And  shall  cut  them  off  in  their  own  evil; 

The  Lord  our  God  shall  cut  them  off. 

vO  O  come,  let  us  sing  unto  the  Lord: 

Let  us  make  a  joyful  noise  to  the  rock  of  our  salvation 

2  Let  us  come  before  his  presence  with  thanksgiving, 
Let  us  make  a  joyful  noise  unto  him  with  psalms. 

3  For  the  Lord  is  a  great  God, 
And  a  great  King  above  all  gods. 

4  In  his  hand  are  the  deep  places  of  the  earth ; 
The  ^heights  of  the  mountains  are  his  also. 

5  The  sea  is  his,  and  he  made  it ; 
And  his  hands  formed  the  dry  land. 

6  O  come,  let  us  worship  and  bow  down  : 
Let  us  kneel  before  the  Lord  our  Maker : 

7  For  he  is  our  God, 

And  we  are  the  people  of  his  pasture,  and  the  sheep  of

'To-day,  Oh  that  ye  would  hear  his  voice ! 

8  Harden  not  your  heart,  as  at  'Mer'i-bah, 
As  in  the  day  of  "Mas'sah  in  the  wilderness : 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted  me. 
Proved  me,  and  saw  my  work. 

10  Forty  years  long  was  I  grieved  with  that  generation,

An  exhortation  to  bless  God  for  his  mercy. 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

BLESS  Hhe  Lord,  O  my  soul :  and  all  that  is  within 
me,  bless  his  holy  name. 

2  Bless  the  Lokd,  O  my  soul,  and  forget  not  all  his 
benefits : 

3  ''Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniquities;  who  "healeth 
all  thy  diseases ; 

4  Who  ''redeemeth  thy  life  from  destruction;  'who 
crowneth  thee  with  lovingkindness  and  tender  mercies; 

5  Who  satisfieth  thy  mouth  with  good  things;  so  that 
■''thy  youth  is  renewed  like  the  eagle's. 

6  "The  Lord  executeth  righteousness  and  judgment 
for  all  that  are  oppressed. 

7  *He  made  known  his  ways  unto  Mo'ses,  his  acts 
unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

8  *The  Lord  is  merciful  and  gracious,  slow  to  anger, 
and  tplenteous  in  mercy. 

9  *He  will  not  always  chide ;  neither  will  he  keep  his 
anger  for  ever. 

10  'He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after  our  sins;  nor  re- 
warded us  according  to  our  iniquities. 

11  "For  fas  the  heaven  is  high  above  the  earth,  so 
great  is  his  mercy  toward  them  that  fear  him. 

12  As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west,  so  far  hath  he 
removed  our  transgressions  from  us. 

13  "Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children,  so  the  Lord 
pitieth  them  that  fear  him." 

14  For  he  knoweth  our  frame ;  "he  remembereth  that 
we  are  'dust. 

15  As  for  man,  ""his  days  are  as  grass:  'as  a  flower  of 
the  field,  so  he  flourisheth. 

16  For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and  fit  is  gone;  and 
'the  place  thereof  shall  know  it  no  more. 

17  But  the  mercy  of  the  Lord  is  from  everlasting  to 
everlasting  upon  them  that  fear  him,  and  his  righteous- 
ness "unto  children's  children ; 

18  'To  such  as  keep  his  covenant,  and  to  those  that 
remember  his  commandments  to  do  them. 

19  The  Lord  hath  prepared  his  "throne  in  the 
heavens ;  and  'his  kingdom  ruleth  over  all. 

20  "Bless  the  Lord,  ye  his  angels,  fthat  excel  in 
strength,  that  ''do  his  commandments,  hearkening  unto 
the  voice  of  his  word. 

21  Bless  ye  the  Lord,  all  ye  'his  hosts;  *ye  ministers 
of  his,  that  do  his  pleasure. 

22  'Bless  the  Lord,  all  his  works  in  all  places  of  his 
dominion :  -tless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul. 

f-salm;  civ. 

A  meditation  upon  the  mighty  power  and  providence  of  God. 

BLESS  "the  Lord,  O  my  soul.    O  Lord  my  God,  thou 
art  very  great;  'thou  art  clothed  with  honour  and 
majesty : 

2  "Who  coverest  thyself  with  light  as  with  a  garment : 
•"who  stretchest  out  the  heavens  like  a  curtain : 

3  'Who  layeth  the  beams  of  his  chambers  in  the 
waters:  •''who  maketh  the  clouds  his  chariot:  'who 
walketh  upon  the  wings  of  the  wind : 

4  ''Who  maketh  his  angels  spirits;  "his  ministers  a 
flaming  fire : 

5  t*tr^o  laid  the  foundations  of  the  earth,  that  it 
should  not  be  removed  for  ever. 

6  'Thou  coveredst  it  with  the  deep  as  with  a  garment : 
the  waters  stood  above  the  mountains. 

7  ""At  thy  rebuke  they  fled ;  at  the  voice  of  thy  thun- 
der they  hasted  away. 

8  II  "They  go  up  by  the  mountains;  they  go  down  by  the 
valleys  unto  "the  place  which  thou  hast  founded  for  them. 


4.(J^  A  Psalm  of  David. 

1  Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul ; 

And  all  that  is  within  me,  bless  his  holy  name. 

2  Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul, 
And  forget  not  all  his  benefits : 

3  Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniquities ; 
Who  healeth  all  thy  diseases; 

4  Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from  'destruction ; 

Who  crowneth  thee  with  lovingkindnessand  tender  mercies: 
5 Who  satisfieth  ^thy  mouth  with  good  things; 
So  that  thy  youth  is  renewed  like  the  eagle. 

6  The  Lord  executeth  righteous  acts, 

And  judgements  for  all  that  are  oppressed. 

7  He  made  known  his  ways  unto  Mo'ses, 
His  doings  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

8  The  Lord  is  full  of  compassion  and  gracious, 
Slow  to  anger,  and  plenteous  in  mercy. 

9 He  will  not  always  chide; 
Neither  will  he  keep  his  anger  for  ever. 

10  He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after  our  sins, 
Nor  rewarded  us  after  our  iniquities. 

11  For  as  the  heaven  is  high  above  the  earth. 

So  great  is  his  mercy  toward  them  that  fear  him. 

12  As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west, 

So  far  hath  he  removed  our  transgressions  from  us. 

13  Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children. 

So  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that  fear  him. 

14  For  he  knoweth  our  frame ; 

He  remembereth  that  we  are  dust. 
15 As  for  man,  his  days  are  as  grass; 

As  a  flower  of  the  field,  so  he  flourisheth. 
16 For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and  it  is  gone; 

And  the  place  thereof  shall  know  it  no  more. 

17  But  the  mercy  of  the  Lord  is  from  everlasting  to  ever- 

lasting upon  them  that  fear  him. 
And  his  righteousness  unto  children's  children; 

18  To  such  as  keep  his  covenant. 

And  to  those  that  remember  his  precepts  to  do  them. 

19  The  Lord  hath  established  his  throne  in  the  heavens; 
And  his  kingdom  ruleth  over  all. 

20  Bless  the  Lord,  ye  angels  of  his : 

Ye  mighty  in  strength,  that  fulfil  his  word, 
Hearkening  unto  the  voice  of  his  word. 

21  Bless  the  Lord,  all  ye  his  hosts, 

Ye  ministers  of  his,  that  do  his  pleasure. 

22  Bless  the  Lord,  all  ye  his  works, 
In  all  places  of  his  dominion : 
Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul. 

-LU'^  Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul. 

O  Lord  my  God,  thou  art  very  great ; 
Thou  art  clothed  with  honour  and  majesty. 

2  Who  coverest  thyself  with  light  as  with  a  garment ;

evermore. 

5  "Remember  his  marvellous  works  that  he  hath  done ; 
his  wonders,  and  the  judgments  of  his  mouth ; 

6  O  ye  seed  of  A'bra-ham  his  servant,  ye  children  of 
Ja'cob  his  chosen. 

7  He  is  the  Lokd  our  God :  -tis  judgments  are  in  all 
the  earth. 

8  He  hath  "remembered  his  covenant  for  ever,  the 
word  which  he  commanded  to  a  thousand  generations. 

9  'Which  covenant  he  made  with  A'bra-ham,  and  his 
oath  unto  I'saac; 

10  And  confirmed  the  same  unto  Ja'cob  for  a  law,  and 
to  Is'ra-el  for  an  everlasting  covenant : 

11  Saying,  *Unto  thee  will  I  give  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
fthe  lot  of  your  inheritance: 

12  *When  they  were  but  a  few  men  in  number;  yea, 
very  few,  'and  strangers  in  it. 

13  When  they  went  from  one  nation  to  another,  from 
one  kingdom  to  another  people ; 

14  "He  suffered  no  man  to  do  them  wrong;  yea,  "he 
reproved  kings  for  their  sakes ; 

15  Saying,  Touch  not  mine  anointed,  and  do  my 
prophets  no  harm. 

16  Moreover  "he  called  for  a  famine  upon  the  land : 
he  brake  the  whole  "staff  of  bread. 

17  'He  sent  a  man  before  them,  even  Jo'seph,  wAo  'was 
sold  for  a  servant : 

18  'Wh6se  feet  they  hurt  with  fetters:  fhe  was  laid 
in  iron : 

1 9  Until  the  time  that  his  word  came :  the  word  of 
the  Lord  tried  him. 

20  "The  king  sent  and  loosed  him ;  even  the  ruler  of 
the  people,  and  let  him  go  free. 

21  ''He  made  him  lord  of  his  house,  and  ruler  of  all 
his  tsubstance: 

22  To  bind  his  princes  at  his  pleasure ;  and  teach  his 
senators  wisdom. 

23  "Is'ra-el  also  came  into  E'gypt;  and  Ja'cob  so- 
journed "in  the  land  of  Ham. 

24  And  "he  increased  his  people  greatly;  and  made 
them  stronger  than  their  enemies. 

25  'He  turned  their  heart  to  hate  his  people,  to  deal 
subtilely  with  his  servants. 

26  "He  sent  Mo'ses  his  servant ;  and  Aa'ron  ''whom  he 
had  chosen. 

27  'They  shewed  fhis  signs  among  them,  -'and  won- 
ders in  the  land  of  Ham. 

28  "He  sent  darkness,  and  made  it  dark;  and  Hhey 
rebelled  not  against  his  word. 

29  'He  turned  their  waters  into  blood,  and  slew  their 
fish. 

30  ''Their  land  brought  forth  frogs  in  abundance,  in 
the  chambers  of  their  kings. 

31  'He  spake,  and  there  came  divers  sorts  of  flies,  and 
lice  in  all  their  coasts. 

32  ""fHe  gave  them  hail  for  rain,  and  flaming  fire  in 
their  land. 

33  "He  smote  their  vines  also  and  their  fig  trees ;  and 
brake  the  trees  of  their  coasts. 

34  "He  spake,  and  the  locusts  came,  and  caterpillars, 
and  that  without  number,  ■ 

35  And  did  eat  up  all  the  herbs  in  their  land,  and  de- 
voured the  fruit  of  their  ground. 

36  "He  smote  also  all  the  firstborn  in  their  land,  "the 
chief  of  all  their  strength. 

37  'He  brought  them  forth  also  with  silver  and 
gold:  and  there  was  not  one  feeble  person  among  their 
tribes. 


4 Seek  ye  the  Lord  and  his  strength; 
Seek  his  face  evermore. 

5  Remember  his  marvellous  works  that  he  hath  done ; 
His  wonders,  and  the  judgements  of  his  mouth; 

6  O  ye  seed  of  A'bra-ham  his  servant. 
Ye  children  of  Ja'cob,  his  chosen  ones. 

7 He  is  the  Lord  our  God: 
His  judgements  are  in  all  the  earth. 

8  He  hath  remembered  his  covenant  for  ever.

9  The  covenant  which  he  made  with  A'bra-ham, 
And  his  oath  unto  I'saac; 

10  And  confirmed  the  same  unto  Ja'cob  for  a  statute, 
To  Is'ra-el  for  an  everlasting  covenant: 

11  Saying,  Unto  thee  will  I  give  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
The  Uot  of  your  inheritance  : 

12  When  they  were  but  a  few  men  in  number; 
Yea,  very  few,  and  sojourners  in  it ; 

13  And  they  went  about  from  nation  to  nation, 
From  one  kingdom  to  another  people. 

14  He  suffered  no  man  to  do  them  wrong ; 
Yea,  he  reproved  kings  for  their  sakes ; 

IbSayiny,  Touch  nqt  mine  anointed  ones, 

And  do  my  prophets  no  harm. 
16  And  he  called  for  a  famine  upon  the  land;

17 He  sent  a  man  before  them; 

Jo'seph  was  sold  for  a  servant : 

18  His  feet  they  hurt  with  fetters ; 
^He  was  laid  in  chains  of  iron : 

19  Until  the  time  that  his  word  came  to  pass; 
The  word  of  the  Lord  tried  him. 

20  The  king  sent  and  loosed  him ; 

Even  the  ruler  of  peoples,  and  let  him  go  free.

And  teach  his  'senators  wisdom. 

23 Is'ra-el  also  came  into  E'gypt; 

And  Ja'cob  sojourned  in  the  land  of  Ham.

And  made  them  stronger  than  their  adversaries* 

25  He  turned  their  heart  to  hate  his  people, 
To  deal  subtilly  with  his  servants.

A  Song  or  Psalm  of  David. 

0°GOD,  my  heart  is  fixed;    I  will 
praise,  even  with  my  glory. 

2  "•  A  wake,  psaltery  and  harp:  I  mj/seZf  will  awake  early. 

3  I  will  praise  thee,  O  Lord,  among  the  people :  and 
I  will  sing  praises  unto  thee  among  the  nations. 

4  For  thy  mercy  is  great  above  the  heavens :  and  thy 
truth  reaeheth  unto  the  ||  clouds. 

5  "Be  thou  exalted,  O  God,  above  the  heavens :  and 
thy  glory  above  all  the  earth ; 

6  ''That  thy  beloved  may  be  delivered :  save  with  thy 
right  hand,  and  answer  me. 

7  God  hath  spoken  in  his  holiness;  I  will  rejoice,  I  will 
divide  She'chem  and  mete  out  the  valley  of  Suc'coth. 

8  Gil'e-ad  is  mine ;  Ma-nas'seh  is  mine;  E'phra-im 
also  is  the  strength  of  mine  head ; '  Ju'dah  is  my  lawgiver ; 

9  Mo'ab  is  my  wash  pot ;  over  E'dom  will  I  cast  out 
my  shoe;  over  Phi-lis'ti-a  willl  triumph. 

10  -^Who  will  bring  me  into  the  strong  city?  who  will 
lead  me  into  E'dom? 

11  Wilt  not  thou,  O  God,  who  hast  cast  us  off?  and 
wilt  not  thou,  O  God,  go  forth  with  our  hosts? 

12  Give  us  help  from  trouble:  for  vain  is  the  help 
of  man. 

13  "Through  God  we  shall  do  valiantly:  for  he  it  is 
that  shall  tread  down  our  enemies. 

PSAIvNl    CIX. 

David  compiaineth  of  his  slanderous  enemies. 
To  the  chief  Musician,  A  Psalm  of  DaWd. 

HOLD  "not  thy  peace,  O  God  of  my  praise : 
2  For  the  mouth  of  the  wicked  and  the  fmouth  of 
the  deceitful  fare  opened  against  me;  they  have  spoken 
against  me  with  a  lying  tongue. 

3  They  compassed  me  about  also  with  words  of  hatred ; 
and  fought  against  me  'without  a  cause. 

4  For  my  love  they  are  my  adversaries :  but  I  give  my- 
self unto  prayer. 

5  And  "they  have  rewarded  me  evil  for  good,  and 
hatred  for  my  love. 

6  Set  thou  a  wicked  man  over  him:  and  let  ''USa'tan 
stand  at  his  right  hand. 

7  When  he  shall  be  judged,  let  him  fbe  condemned : 
and  'let  his  prayer  become  sin. 

8  Let  his  days  be  few ;  and  •'let  another  take  his  ||  office. 

9  "Let  his  children  be  fatherless,  and  his  wife  a  widow. 

10  Let  his  children  be  continually  vagabonds,  and 
beg:  let  them  seek  <Aetr  bread  also  out  of  their  desolate 
places. 

11  'Let  the  extortioner  catch  all  that  he  hath;  and 
let  the  strangers  spoil  his  labour. 

1 2  Let  there  be  none  to  extend  mercy  unto  him :  neither 
let  there  be  any  to  fevour  his  fatherless  children. 

13  'Let  his  posterity  be  cut  off;  and  in  the  generation 
following  let  their  *name  be  blotted  out. 

14  'Let  the  iniquity  of  his  fathers  be  remembered  with 
the  Lord  ;  and  let  not  the  sin  of  his  mother^be  blotted  out. 


39  Again  they  are  minished  and  bowed  down 
Through  oppression,  trouble,  and  sorrow. 

40  He  poureth  contempt  upon  princes,  [no  way. 
And  causeth  them  to  wander  in  the  waste,  where  there  is 

41  Yet  setteth  he  the  needy  on  high  from  affliction. 
And  maketh  him  families  like  a  flock. 

42  The  upright  shall  see  it,  and  be  glad ; 
And  all  iniquity  shall  stop  her  mouth. 

43  Whoso  is  wise  shall  give  heed  to  these  things. 
And  they  shall  consider  the  mercies  of  the  Lord. 

A  Song,  a  Psalm  of  David. 

108  >My  heart  is  fixed,  O  God ; 

I  will  sing,  yea,  I  will  sing  praises,  even  with  my  glory. 
2  Awake,  psaltery  and  harp : 

^I  myself  will  awake  right  early. 
3 1  will  give  thanks  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  among  the  peoples : 

And  I  will  sing  praises  unto  thee  among  the  nations. 

4  For  thy  mercy  is  great  above  the  heavens, 
And  thy  truth  reaeheth  unto  the  skies. 

5  Be  thou  exalted,  O  God,  above  the  heavens : 
And  thy  glory  above  all  the  earth. 

6 'That  thy  beloved  may  be  delivered. 

Save  with  thy  right  hand,  and  answer  *us. 
7 God  hath  spoken  in  his  holiness;  I  will  exult: 

I  will  divide  She'chem,  and  mete  out  the  valley  of  Suc'coth. 
8 Gil'e-ad  is  mine;  Ma-nas'seh  is  mine; 

E'phra-im  also  is  the  defence  of  mine  head ; 

Ju  dah  is  my  "sceptre. 
9  Mo'ab  is  my  washpot ; 

*Upon  E'dom  will  I  cast  my  shoe : 

Over  Phi-lis'ti-a  will  I  shout. 

10  Who  will  bring  me  into  the  fenced  city? 
'Who  hath  led  me  unto  E'dom? 

11  'Hast  not  thou  cast  us  off,  O  God? 

And  thou  goest  not  forth,  O  God,  with  our  hosts. 

12  Give  us  help  against  the  adversary  : 
For  vain  is  the  'help  of  man. 

13  Through  God  we  shall  do  valiantly : 

For  he  it  is  that  shall  tread  down  our  adversaries. 

For  the  Chief  Musician.    A  Psalm  of  David. 

4-U V  Hold  not  thy  peace,  O  God  of  my  praise : 

2  For  the  mouth  of  the  wicked  and  the  mouth  of  deceit 

have  they  opened  against  me : 
They  have  spoken  '"unto  m«  with  a  lying  tongue. 

3  They  compassed  me  about  also  with  words  of  hatred, 
And  fought  against  me  without  a  cause. 

4  For  my  love  they  are  my  adversaries : 
But  I  give  myself  unto  prayer. 

5  And  they  have  "rewarded  me  evil  for  good. 
And  hatred  for  my  love. 

6  Set  thou  a  wicked  man  over  him : 

And  let  "an  adversary  stand  at  his  right  hand. 

7  When  he  is  judged,  let  him  come  forth  guilty; 
And  let  his  prayer  ''be  turned  into  sin. 

8  Let  his  days  be  few ; 

And  let  another  take  his  office. 

9  Let  his  children  be  fatherless. 
And  his  wife  a  widow. 

10  Let  his  children  be-  vagabonds,  and  beg ; 

And  let  them  seek  ^AezVferead'^out  of  their  desolate  places. 

11  Let  the  extortioner  "catch  all  that  he  hath; 
And  let  strangers  make  spoil  of  his  labour. 

12  Let  there  be  none  to  '^extend  mercy  unto  him  ; 
Neither  let  there  be  any  to  have  pity  on  his  &therless  children. 

13  Let  his  posterity  be  cut  off; 

In  the  generation  following  let  their  name  be  blotted  out. 

14  Lettheiniquity  of  his  fathers  be  remembered  with  the  Lord; 
And  let  not  the  sin  of  his  mother  be  blotted  out.

15  Let  them  be  before  the  Lord  continually,  that  he 
may  "cut  off  the  memory  of  them  from  the  earth. 

16  Because  that  he  remembered  not  to  shew  mercy, 
but  persecuted  the  poor  and  needy  man,  that  he  might 
even  slay  the  "broken  in  heart. 

17  ''As  he  loved  cursing,  so  let  it  come  unto  him:  as 
be  delighted  not  in  blessing,  so  let  it  be  far  from  him. 

18  As  he  clothed  himself  with  cursing  like  as  with  his 
garment,  so  let  it  'come  ||into  his  bowels  like  water, 
and  like  oil  into  his  bones. 

19  Let  it  be  unto  him  as  the  garment  which  covereth 
him,  and  for  a  girdle  wherewith  he  is  girded  continually. 

20  Let  this  be  the  reward  of  mine  adversaries  from  the 
Lord,  and  of  them  that  speak  evil  against  my  soul. 

21  But  do  thou  for  me,  O  God  the  Lord,  for  thy  name's 
sake :  because  thy  mercy  is  good,  deliver  thou  me.- 

22  For  I  am  poor  and  needy,  and  my  heart  is  wounded 
within  me. 

23  I  am  gone  ''like  the  shadow  when  it  declineth :  I 
am  tossed  up  and  down  as  the  locust. 

24  My  'knees  are  weak  through  fasting;  and  my  flesh 
faileth  of  fatness. 

25  I  became  also  a  'reproach  unto  them:  when  they 
looked  upon  me  "they  snaked  their  heads. 

26  Help  me,  O  Lord  my  God :  O  save  me  according 
to  thy  mercy: 

27  "'That  they  may  know  that  this  t«  thy  hand;  that 
thou.  Lord,  hast  done  it. 

28  "Let  them  curse,  but  bless  thou :  when  they  arise, 
let  them  be  ashamed;  but  let  "thy  servant  rejoice. 

29  "Let  mine  adversaries  be  clothed  with  shame ;  and 
let  them  cover  themselves  with  their  own  confusion,  as 
with  a  mantle. 

30  I  will  greatly  praise  the  Lord  with  my  mouth; 
yea,  'I  will  praise  him  among  the  multitude. 

31  For  'he  shall  stand  at  the  right  nand  of  the  poor, 
to  save  him  ffrom  those  that  condemn  his  soul. 

PSALM    ex. 

The  kingdom,  priesthood,  and  passion  of  Christ, 
A  Psalm  of  David. 

THE  "Lord  said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  at  my  right 
hand,  until  I  make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool. 

2  The  Lord  shall  send  the  rod  of  thy  strength  out  of 
Zi'on :  rule  thou  in  the  midst  of  thine  enemies. 

3  'Thy  people  shall  be  willing  in  the  day  of  thy  power, 
"in  the  beauties  of  holiness  ||from  the  womb  of  the 
morning :  thou  hast  the  dew  of  thy  youth. 

4  The  Lord  hath  sworn,  and  ''will  not  repent,  "Thou 
art  a  priest  for  ever  after  the  order  of  Mel-chiz'e-dek. 

5  The  Lord  ^at  thy  right  hand  shall  strike  through 
kings  "in  the  day  of  his  wrath. 

6  He  shall  judge  among  the  heathen,  he  shall  fill  the 
places  with  the  dead  bodies :  *he  shall  wound  the  heads 
over  II  many  countries. 

7  *He  shall  drink  of  the  brook  in  the  way ;  *there- 
fore  shall  he  lift  up  the  head. 

PSALNI  CXI. 

God  to  be  praised  for  his  glorious  and  gracious  works. 

tT)RAISE  ye  the  Lord.    "I  will  praise  the  Lord

right, and  in  the  congregation. 

2  'The  works  of  the  Lord  are  great,  "sought  out  of 
all  them  that  have  pleasure  therein. 

3  His  work  is  ''honourable  and  glorious:  and  his 
righteousness  endureth  for  ever. 

4  He  hath  made  his  wonderful  works  to  be  remem- 
bered :  'the  Lord  is  gracious  and  full  of  compassion. 

5  He  hath  given  f^'^meat  unto  them  that  fear  him :  he 
will  ever  be  mindful  of  his  covenant. 


15  Let  them  be  before  the  Lord  continually. 

That  he  may  cut  off  the  memory  of  them  from  the  earth. 

16  Because  that  he  remembered  not  to  shew  mercy, 
But  persecuted  the  poor  and  needy  man, 

And  the  broken  in  heart,  to  slay  them. 

17  Yea,  he  loved  cursing,  and  it  came  unto  him ; 

And  he  delighted  not  in  blessing,  and  it  was  far  from  him. 

18  He  clothed  himself  also  with  cursing  as  with  his  garment, 
And  it  came  into  his  inward  parts  like  water, 

And  like  oil  into  his  bones. 

19  Let  it  be  unto  him  as  the  raiment  wherewith  he  covereth 

himself. 
And  for  the  girdle  wherewith  he  is  girded  continually. 

20  This  is  the  reward  of  mine  adversaries  from  the  Lord, 
And  of  them  that  speak  evil  against  my  soul. 

21  But  deal  thou  with  me,  O  God  the  Lord,  for  thy  name's  sake: 
Because  thy  mercy  is  good,  deliver  thou  me.

Ja'cob  ''from  a  people  of  strange  language ; 

2  ''Ju'dah  was  his  sanctuary,  and  Is'ra-el  his  dominion. 

3  ''The  sea  saw  it,  and  fled:  •Jor'dan  was  driven 
back. 

4  ^The  mountains  skipped  like  rams,  and  the  little 
hills  like  lambs.

thou  Jor'dan,  that  thou  was  driven  back? 


6  He  hath  shewed  his  people  the  power  of  his  works,

8  That  he  may  s^  him  with,  princes,

'^  LAMED. 

89  For  ever,  O  Lord, 

Thy  word  is  settled  in  heaven. 

90  Thy  faithfulness  1j  unto  all  generations : 
Thou  hast  established  the  earth,  and  it  abideth. 

91  'They  abide  this  day  according  to  thine  ordinances ; 
For  all  things  are  thy  servants. 

92  Unless  thy  law  had  been  my  delight, 

I  should  then  have  perished  in  mine  affliction. 
93 1  will  never  forget  thy  precepts; 

For  with  them  thou  hast  quickened  me. 
941  am  thine,  save  me; 

For  I  have  sought  thy  precepts.

But  I  will  consider  thy  testimonies.

But  thy  commandment  is  exceeding  broad.

It  is  my  meditation  all  the  day. 

98  ^Thy  commandments  make  me  wiser  than  mine  enemies ; 
For  they  are  ever  with  me. 

99  I  have  more  understanding  than  all  my  teachers; 
For  thy  testimonies  are  my  meditation. 

100  I  understand  more  than  the  aged. 

Because  I  have  kept  thy  precepts. 
101 1  have  refrained  my  feet  from  every  evil  way, 

That  I  might  observe  thy  word. 
1021  have  not  turned  aside  from  thy  judgements; 

For  thou  hast  taught  me. 

103  How  sweet  are  thy  words  unto  my  Haste ! 
Yea,  sweeter  than  honey  to  my  mouth ! 

104  Through  thy  precepts  I  get  understanding : 
Therefore  I  hate  every  false  way.

107  I  am  afflicted  very  much  : 

Quicken  me,  O  Lord,  according  unto  thy  word. 

108  Accept,  I  beseech  thee,  the  freewill    offerings    of  my 

mouth,  O  Lord, 
And  teach  me  thy  judgements. 

109  My  soul  is  continually  in  my  hand; 
Yet  do  I  not  forget  thy  law. 

110 The  wicked  have  laid  a  snare  for  me; 

Yet  went  I  not  astray  from  thy  precepts. 
Ill  Thy  testimonies  have  I  taken  as  an  heritage  for  ever; 

For  they  are  the  rejoicing  of  my  heart.

For  ever,  even  unto  the  end.

But  thy  law  do  I  love. 
114Thoa  art  my  hiding  place  and  my  shield: 

I  hope  in  thy  word. 
115 Depart  from  me,  ye  evil-doers; 

That  I  may  keep  the  commandments  of  my  God. 

116  Uphold  me  according  xinto  thy  word,  that  I  may  live  J 
And  let  me  not  be  ashamed  of  my  hope.

And  .shall  have  respect  unto  thy  statutes  continually.

For  their  deceit  is  ^falsehood.

2  ''I  will  worship  "toward  thy  holy  temple,  and  praise

OLORD,  "thou  hast  searched  me,  and  known  me.

3  ''Thou  llcompassest  my  path  and  my  lying  down,

4  For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my  tongue,  bvi,  lo,  O 
Lord,  'thou  knowest  it  altogether. 

5  Thou  hast  beset  me  behind  and  before,  and  laid 
thine  hand  upon  me. 

6  ^Such  knowledge  is  too  wonderful  for  me ;  it  is  high, 
I  cannot  attain  unto  it.

14  I  will  praise  thee;  for  I  am  fearfully  and  wonder-

As  thou  hast  served  us. 

9  Happy  shall  he  be,  that  taketh  and  dasheth  thy  little  ones

For  thou  hast  magnified  thy  word  above  all  thy  name. 

3  In  the  day  that  I  called  thou  answeredst  me. 
Thou  didst  encourage  me  with  strength  in  my  soul. 

4  All  the  kings  of  the  earth  shall  give  thee  thanks,  O  Lord, 
For  they  have  heard  the  words  of  thy  mouth. 

5  Yea,  they  shall  sing  of  the  ways  of  the  Lord  ; 

For  great  is  the  glory  of  the  Lord  ;  [lowly : 

6  For  though  the  Lord  be  high,  yet  hath  he  respect  unto  the 
But  the  haughty  he  knoweth  from  afar. 

7  Though  I  walk  in  the  midst  of  trouble,  thou  wilt  revive  me ; 
Thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thine  hand  against  the  wrath  of 

mine  enemies. 
And  thy  right  hand  shall  save  me. 

8  The  Lord  will  perfect  that  which  concerneth  me : 
Thy  mercy,  O  Lord,  endureth  for  ever; 
Forsake  not  the  works  of  thine  own  hands. 

For  the  Chief  Musician.    A  Psalm  of  David. 

O  Lord,  thou  hast  searched  me,  and  known  me. 

2  Thou  knowest  my  downsitting  and  mine  uprising, 
Thou  understandest  my  thought  afar  off. 

3  Thou  ^searchest  out  my  path  and  my  lying  down, 
And  art  acquainted  with  all  my  ways. 

4  For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my  tongue. 

But,  lo,  O  Lord,  thou  knowest  it  altogether. 

5  Thou  hast  beset  me  behind  and  before, 
And  laid  thine  hand  upon  me.

If  I  make  my  bed  in  She'ol,  behold,  thou  art  there. 

9  If  I  take  the  wings  of  the  morning, 

And  dwell  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  sea ; 

10  Even  there  shall  thy  hand  lead  me. 
And  thy  right  hand  shall  hold  me. 

11  If  I  say.  Surely  the  darkness  shall  'overwhelm  me, 
*And  the  light  about  me  shall  be  night ; 

12  Even  the  darkness  hideth  not  from  thee, 
But  the  night  shineth  as  the  day : 
The  darkness  and  the  light  are  both  alike  to  thee. 

13 For  thou  hast  '^possessed  my  reins:

CHAPTER  I. 

The  use  of  the  proverbs—Exhortation  to  fear  God  and  believe  his  word. 

rpHE  "proverbs  of  Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid,  king 
J-    of .Js'ra-el ; 

2  To  know  wisdom  and  instruction ;  to  perceive  the 
words  of  understanding; 

3  To  'receive  the  instruction  of  wisdom,  justice,  and 
judgment,  and  fequity ; 

4  To  give  subtilty  to  the  "simple,  to  the  young  man 
knowledge  and  ||  discretion. 

5  ''A  wise  man  will  hear,  and  will  increase  learning; 
and  a  man  of  understanding  shall  attain  unto  wise 
counsels: 

6  To  understand  a  proverb,  and  ||the  interpretation; 
the  words  of  the  wise,  and  their  'dark  sayings. 

7  ^■'^The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  |{  the  beginning  of  knowl- 
edge :  hut  fools  despise  wisdom  and  instruction. 

8  "My  son,  hear  the  instruction  of  thy  father,  and  for- 
sake not  the  law  of  thy  mother: 

9  For  *they  shall  be  fan  ornament  of  grace  unto  thy 
head,  and  chains  about  thy  neck. 

10  5[My  son,  if  sinners  entice  thee,  'consent  thou  not. 

11  If  they  say,  Come  with  us,  let  us  *lay  wait  for 
blood,  let  us  lurk  privily  for  the  innocent  without 
cause : 

12  Let  us  swallow  them  up  alive  as  the  grave;  and 
whole,  'as  those  that  go  down  into  the  pit : 

13  We  shall  find  all  precious  substance,  we  shall  fill 
our  houses  with  spoil : 

14  Cast  in  thy  lot  among  us;  let  us  all  have  one 
purse : 

15  My  son,  "walk  not  thou  in  the  way  with  them; 
"refrain  thy  foot  from  their  path : 

16  "For  their  feet  run  to  evil,  and  make  haste  to  shed 
blood. 

17  Surely  in  vain  the  net  is  spread  fin  the  sight  of 
any  bird. 

18  And  they  lay  wait  for  their  own  blood;  they  lurk 
privily  for  their  ovm  lives. 

19  "So  are  the  ways  of  every  one  that  is  greedy  of  gain ; 
which  taketh  away  the  life  of  the  owners  thereof. 

20  ^t" Wisdom  crieth  without ;  she  uttereth  her  voice 
in  the  streets: 

21  She  crieth  in  the  chief  places  of  concourse,  in  the 
openings  of  the  gates :  in  the  city  she  uttereth  her  words, 
saying, 

22  How  long,  ye  simple  ones,  will  ye  love  simplicity  ? 
and  the  scorners  delight  in  their  scorning,  and  fools 
hate  knowledge? 

23  Turn  you  at  my  reproof:  behold,  'I  will  pour  out 
my  spirit  unto  you,  I  will  make  known  my  words  unto 
you. 

24  ^'Because  I  have  called,  and  ye  refused;  I  have 
stretched  out  my  hand,  and  no  man  regarded ; 

25  But  ye  'have  set  at  nought  all  my  counsel,  and 
would  none  of  my  reproof: 

26  'I  also  will  laugh  at  your  calamity;  I  will  mock 
when  your  fear  cometh  ; 

27  When  "'your  fear  cometh  as  desolation,  and  your 
destruction  cometh  as  a  whirlwind ;  when  distress  and 
anguish  cometh  upon  you. 

28  "Then  shall  they  call  upon  me,  but  I  will  not  an- 
swer; they  shall  seek  me  early,  but  they  shall  not 
find  me : 


THE  PROVERBS. 


J-     The  proverbs  of  Sol'o-mon  the  son  of  Da'vid,  king  of 
Is'ra-el : 
2 To  know  wisdom  and  instruction; 
To  discern  the  words  of  understanding ; 

3  To  receive  instruction  in  wise  dealing. 

In  righteousness  and  judgement  and  equity ; 

4  To  give  'subtilty  to  the  simple, 

To  the  young  man  knowledge  and  discretion : 

5  That  the  wise  ipan  may  hear,  and  increase  in  learning; 
And   that   the    man  of  understanding  may  attain  unto 

sound  counsels : 

6  To  understand  a  proverb,  and  ^a  figure ; 

The  words  of  the  wise,  and  their  'dark  sayings. 

7  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  the  ''beginning  of  knowledge : 
But  the  foolish  despise  wisdom  and  instruction. 

8  My  son,  hear  the  instruction  of  thy  father, 
And  forsake  not  the  'law  of  thy  mother : 

9  For  they  shall  be  a  chaplet  of  grace  unto  thy  head, 
And  chains  about  thy  neck. 

10  My  son,  if  sinners  entice  thee, 
Consent  thou  not. 

11  If  they  say.  Come  with  us. 
Let  us  lay  wait  for  blood. 

Let  us  lurk  privily  for  the  innocent  without  cause ; 

12  Let  us  swallow  them  up  alive  as  *She'ol, 

'And  whole,  as  those  that  go  down  into  the  pit; 

13  We  shall  find  all  precious  substance. 
We  shall  fill  our  houses  with  spoil; 

14'Thou  shalt  cast  thy  lot  among  us; 
We  will  all  have  one  purse : 

15  My  son,  walk  not  thou  in  the  way  with  them; 
Refrain  thy  foot  from  their  path : 

16  For  their  feet  run  to  evil, 

And  they  make  haste  to  shed  blood. 

17  For  in  vain  'is  the  net  spread. 
In  the  eyes  of  any  bird  : 

18  And  these  lay  wait  for  their  own  blood, 
They  lurk  privily  for  their  own  lives. 

19  So  are  the  ways  of  every  one  that  is  greedy  of  gain ; 
It  taketh  away  the  life  of  the  owners  thereof. 

20 Wisdom  crieth  aloud  in  the  street; 

She  uttereth  her  voice  in  the  broad  places: 
21  She  crieth  '"in  the  chief  place  of  concourse ; 

At  the  entering  in  of  the  gates, 

In  the  city,  she  uttereth  her  words: 
22 How  long,  ye  simple  ones,  will  ye  love  simplicity? 

And  scorners  delight  them  in  scorning, 

And  fools  hate  knowledge  ? 

23  Turn  you  at  my  reproof: 

Behold,  I  will  pour  out  my  spirit  unto  you,

24  Because  I  have  called,  and  ye  refused ; 

I  have  stretched  out  my  hand,  and  no  man  regarded; 

25  But  ye  have  set  at  nought  all  my  counsel. 
And  would  none  of  my  reproof: 

261  also  will  laugh  in  the  day  o/your  calamity; 

I  will  mock  when  your  fear  cometh ; 
27  When  your  fear  cometh  as  "a  storm, 

And  your  calamity  cometh  on  as  a  whirlwind; 

When  distress  and  anguish  come  upon  you. 
28 Then  shall  they  call  upon  me,  but  I  will  not  answer; 

They  shall  seek  me  '^diligently,  but  they  shall  not  find  me :

29  For  that  they  'hated   knowledge,  and    did    not 
"choose  the  fear  of  the  Lord: 

30  'They  would  none  of  my  counsel :  they  despised 
all  my  reproof. 

31  Therefore  "shall  they  eat  of  the  fruit  of  their  own 
way,  and  be  filled  with  their  own  devices. 

32  For  the  || turning  away  of  the  simple  shall  slay

33  But  ''whoso  hearkeneth  unto  me  shall  dwell  safely, 
and  'shall  be  quiet  from  fear  of  evil. 

CHAPTER     II. 

tf^isdom promiseth  godliness  to  her  children, 

MY  son,  if  thou  wilt  receive  my  words,  and  "hide 
my  commandments  with  thee; 

2  So  that  thou  incline  thine  ear  unto,  wisdom,  and 
apply  thine  heart  to  understanding; 

3  Yea,  if  thou  criest  after  knowledge,  and  fliftest  up 
thy  voice  for  understanding; 

4  'If  thou  seekest  her  as  silver,  and  searchest  for  her 
as  for  hid  treasures; 

5  Then  shalt  thou  understand  the  fear  of  the  Loed, 
and  find  the  knowledge  of  God. 

6  "For  the  Lord  giveth  wisdom:    out  of  his  mouth 
Cometh  knowledge  and  understanding. 

7  He  layeth  up  sound  wisdom  for  the  righteous:   ^he 
is  a  buckler  to  them  that  walk  uprightly. 

8  He  keepeth  the  paths  of  judgment,  and  'preserveth 
the  way  of  his  saints. 

9  Then    shalt   thou    understand    righteousness,    and 
judgment,  and  equity;  yea,  every  good  path. 

10  ^When    wisdom  entereth   into   thine  heart,   and 
knowledge  is  pleasant  unto  thy  soul; 

11  Discretion    shall    preserve     thee,  •'understanding 
shall  keep  thee; 

12  To   deliver  thee  from  the  way  of  the  evil  man, 
from  the  man  that  speaketh  froward  things; 

13  Who  leave  the  paths  of  uprightness,  to  "walk  in 
the  ways  of  darkness ; 

14  Who  'rejoice  to  do  evil,  and  'delight  in  the  fro- 
wardness  of  the  wicked ; 

15  *Whose   ways  are  crooked,  and   they  froward  in 
their  paths: 

16  To  deliver  thee  from  'the  strange  woman,  "eren 
from  the  stranger  which  flattereth  with  her  words : 

17  "Which  forsaketh  the  guide  of  her  youth,  and  for- 
getteth  the  covenant  of  her  God. 

18  For  "her  house   inclineth   unto    death,    and    her 
paths  unto  the  dead. 

19  None  that  go  unto  her  return  again,  neither  take 
they  hold  of  the  paths  of  life. 

20  That  thou  mayest  walk  in  the  way  of  good  men, 
and  keep  the  paths  of  the  righteous. 

21  "For  the  upright  shall  dwell  in  the  land,  and  the 
perfect  shall  remain  in  it. 

22  «But  the  wicked  shall  be  cut  oif  from  the  earth, 
and  the  transgressors  shall  be  |I  rooted  out  of  it. 

CHAPTER    III. 

An  exhortation  to  obedience^  /aith,  and  mortification. 

MY   son,  forget   not  my  law;  "but  let  thine  heart 
keep  my  commandments: 

2  For  length  of  days,  and  t'ong  life,  and  ""peace  shall 
they  add  to  thee. 

3  Let  not  mercy  and  truth  forsake  thee:   "bind  them 
about  thy  neck ;  ''write  them  upon  the  table  of  thine  heart : 

4  "So  shalt  thou  find  favor  and  ||good  understanding 
in  the  sight  of  God  and  man. 

5  ^'Trust  in   the   Lord  with  all  thine  heart;  'and 
lean  not  unto  thine  own  understanding. 


29  For  that  they  hated  knowledge. 

And  did  not  choose  the  fear  of  the  Lord  : 

30 They  would  none  of  my  counsel; 
They  despised  all  my  reproof: 

31  Therefore  shall  they  eat  of  the  fruit  of  their  own  way. 
And  be  filled  with  their  own  devices. 

32  For  the  backsliding  of  the  simple  shall  slay  them. 
And  the  'prosperity  of  fools  shall  destroy  them. 

33  But  whoso  hearkeneth  unto  me  shall  dwell  securely. 
And  shall  be  quiet  without  fear  of  evil. 

f^  My  son,  if  thou  wilt  receive  my  words. 
And  lay  up  my  commandments  with  thee; 

2  So  that  thou  incline  thine  ear  unto  wisdom, 
And  apply  thine  heart  to  understanding ; 

3  Yea,  if  thou  cry  after  discernment, 

And  lift  up  thy  voice  for  understanding ; 

4  If  thou  seek  her  as  silver. 

And  search  for  her  as  for  hid  treasures ; 

5  Then  shalt  thou  understand  the  fear  of  the  Lord, 
And  find  the  knowledge  of  God. 

6  For  the  Lord  giveth  wisdom ; 

Out  of  his  mouth  cometh  knowledge  and  understanding: 

7  He  layeth  up  sound  wisdom  for  the  upright, 
^He  is  a  shield  to  them  that  walk  in  integrity ; 

8 'That  he  may  guard  the  paths  of  judgement, 

^And  preserve  the  way  of  his  saints. 
9  Then   shalt  thou   understand  righteousness  and  judge- 
ment. 

And  equity,  yea,  every  good  path. 

10  For  wisdom  shall  enter  into  thine  heart, 

And  knowledge  shall  be  pleasant  unto  thy  soul; 

1 1  Discretion  shall  watch  over  thee, 
Understanding  shall  keep  thee : 

12  To  deliver  thee  from  the  way  of 'evil. 
From  the  men  that  speak  froward  things; 

13  Who  forsake  the  paths  of  uprightness, 
To  walk  in  the  ways  of  darkness ; 

14  Who  rejoice  to  do  evil, 

And  delight  in  the  frowardness  of 'evil; 

15  Who  are  crooked  in  their  ways. 
And  perverse  in  their  paths : 

16  To  deliver  thee  from  the  strange  woman. 

Even  from  the  stranger  which  ^flattereth  with  her  words ; 

17  Which  forsaketh  the  'friend  of  her  youth. 
And  forgetteth  the  covenant  of  her  God : 

18  For  "her  house  inclineth  unto  death. 
And  her  paths  unto  'the  dead : 

19  None  that  go  unto  her  return  again. 
Neither  do  they  attain  unto  the  paths  of  life : 

20  That  thou  mayest  walk  in  the  way  of  good  men, 
And  keep  the  paths  of  the  righteous. 

21  For  the  upright  shall  dwell  in  the  '"land. 
And  the  perfect  shall  remain  in  it. 

22  But  the  wicked  shall  be  cut  off  from  the  '"land. 

And  they  that    deal  treacherously  shall  be  rooted  out 
of  it. 

O  My  son,  forget  not  my  "law ; 

But  let  thine  heart  keep  my  commandments : 

2  For  length  of  days,  and  years  of  life. 
And  peace  shall  they  add  to  thee. 

3  Let  not  '^mercy  and  truth  forsake  thee : 
Bind  them  about  thy  neck ; 

Write  them  upon  the  table  of  thine  heart : 

4  So  shalt  thou  find  favour  and  "good  understanding 
In  the  sight  of  God  and  man. 

5  Trust  in  the  Lord  with  all  thine  heart, 

And  lean  not  upon  thine  own  understanding :  i

3  For  I  was  my  father's  son,  "tender  and  only  beloved 
in  the  sight  of  my  mother. 

4  "He  taught  me  also,  and  said  unto  me,  Let  thine

5  'Get  wisdom,  get  understanding:  forget  it  not; 
neither  decline  from  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

6  Forsake  her  not,  and  she  shall  preserve  thee:  ■'^love 
her,  and  she  shall  keep  thee. 

7  'Wisdom  is  the  principal  thing;  therefore  get  wis- 
dom :  and  with  all  thy  getting  get  understanding. 

8  *Exalt  her,  and  she  shall  promote  thee :  she  shall 
bring  thee  to  honour,  when  thou  dost  embrace  her. 

9  She  shall  give  to  thine  head  'an  ornament  of  grace : 
II  a  crown  of  glory  shall  she  deliver  to  thee. 

10  Hear,  O  my  son,  and  receive  my  sayings;  *and

"and  when  thou  runnest,  thou  shalt  not  stumble.

CHAP'TKR    V, 

Solomon  exhorieth  to  the  study  of  wisdom. 

MY   son,  attend   unto  my   wisdom,  and  bow  thine 
ear  to  my  understanding : 

2  That  thou  mayest  regard  discretion,  and  that  thy 
lips  may  "keep  knowledge. 

3  ly^For  the  lips  of  a  strange  woman  drop  as  a 
honeycomb,  and  her  fmouth  is  "smoother  than  oil : 

4  But  her  end  is  ''bitter  as  wormwood,  "sharp  as  a 
twoedged  sword. 

5  ^  Her  feetgo  down  to  death;  hersteps  take  hold  on  hell. 

6  Lest  thou  shouldest  ponder  the  path  of  life,  her 
ways  are  moveable,  that  thou  canst  not  know  them. 

7  Hear  me  now  therefore,  O  ye  children,  and  depart 
not  from  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

8  Remove  thy  way  far  from  her,  and  come  not  nigh 
the  door  of  her  house : 


3  For  I  was  a  son  unto  my  father, 

Tender  and  'only  beloved  in  the  sight  of  my  mother. 

4  And  he  taught  me,  and  said  unto  me, 
Let  thine  heart  retain  my  words; 
Keep  my  commandments,  and  live: 

5  Get  wisdom,  get  understanding ; 

Forget  i<  not,  neither  decline  from  the  words  of  my  mouth : 

6  Forsake  her  not,  and  she  shall  preserve  thee ; 
Love  her,  and  she  shall  keep  thee. 

7  ^Wisdom  is  the  principal  thing ;  therefore  get  wisdom : 
Yea,  with  all  thou  hast  gotten  get  understanding. 

8  Exalt  her,  and  she  shall  promote  thee : 

She  shall  bring  thee  to  honour,  when  thou  dost  embrace  her. 

9  She  shall  give  to  thine  head  a  chaplet  of  grace : 
A  crown  of  ^beauty  shall  she  deliver  to  thee. 

10 Hear,  O  my  son,  and  receive  my  sayings; 

And  the  years  of  thy  life  shall  be  many. 
Ill  have  taught  thee  in  the  way  of  wisdom ; 

I  have  led  thee  in  paths  of  uprightness. 

12  When  thou  goest,  thy  steps  shall  not  be  straitened; 
And  if  thou  runnest,  thou  shalt  not  stumble. 

13  Take  fast  hold  of  instruction ;  let  her  not  go : 
Keep  her;  for  she  is  thy  life. 

14  Enter  not  into  the  path  of  the  wicked, 
And  walk  not  in  the  way  of  evil  men. 

15  Avoid  it,  pass  not  by  it; 
Turn  from  it,  and  pass  on. 

16  For  they  sleep  not,  except  they  have  done  mischief; 
And  their  sleep  is  taken  away,  unless  they  cause  some  to  fall. 

17  For  they  eat  the  bread  of  wickedness. 
And  drink  the  wine  of  violence. 

18  But  the  path  of  the  righteous  is  as  Hhe  shining  light, 
That  shineth  more  and  more  unto  the  perfect  day. 

19 The  way  of  the  wicked  is  as  darkness: 
They  know  not  at  what  they  stumble. 

20  My  son,  attend  to  my  words ; 
Incline  thine  ear  unto  my  sayings. 

21  Let  them  not  depart  from  thine  eyes; 
Keep  them  in  the  midst  of  thine  heart. 

22  For  they  are  life  unto  those  that  find  them, 
And  health  to  all  their  flesh. 

23  Keep  thy  heart  'with  all  diligence ; 
For  out  of  it  are  the  issues  of  life. 

24  Put  away  from  thee  a  froward  mouth, 
And  perverse  lips  put  far  from  thee. 

25  Let  thine  eyes  look  right  on. 

And  let  thine  eyelids  look  straight  before  thee. 

26  'Make  level  the  path  of  thy  feet. 
And  let  all  thy  ways  be  'established. 

27  Turn  not  to  the  right  hand  nor  to  the  left: 
Remove  thy  foot  from  evil, 

0  My  son,  attend  unto  my  wisdom ; 
Incline  thine  ear  to  my  understanding : 

2  That  thou  mayest  preserve  discretion, 
And  that  thy  lips  may  keep  knowledge. 

3  For  the  lips  of  a  strange  woman  drop  honey, 
And  her  mouth  is  smoother  than  oil : 

4  But  her  latter  end  is  bitter  as  wormwood. 
Sharp  as  a  two-edged  sword. 

5  Her  feet  go  down  to  death  ; 
Her  steps  take  hold  on  *She'ol ; 

6  'So  that  she  findeth  not  the  level  path  of  life : 
Her  ways  are  unstable  and  '"she  knoweth  it  not. 

7  Now  therefore,  my  sons,  hearken  unto  me. 
And  depart  not  from  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

8  Remove  thy  way  far  from  her, 

And  come  not  nigh  the  door  of  her  house :

Against  surettskip,  idleness,  and  mischievousness. 

MY  son,  "if  thou   be   surety  for  thy  friend,  if  thou 
hast  stricken  thy  hand  with  a  stranger, 

2  Thou  art  snared  with  the  words  of  thy  mouth,  thou 
art  taken  with  the  words  of  thy  mouth.

4  ''Give  not  sleep  to  thine  eyes,  nor  slumber  to  thine

5  Deliver  thyself  as  a  roe  from  the  hand  of  the  hunter, 
and  as  a  bird  from  the  hand  of  the  fowler. 

6  ^"Go  to  the  ant,  thou  sluggard ;  consider  her  ways, 
and  be  wise: 

7  Which  having  no  guide,  overseer,  or  ruler, 

8  Provideth  her  meat  in  the  summer,  and  gathereth 
her  food  in  the  harvest. 

9  ''How  long  wilt  thou  sleep,  O  sluggard?  when  wilt 
thou  arise  out  of  thy  sleep  ? 

10  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little  slumber,  a  little  folding  of 
the  hands  to  sleep: 

11  'So  shall  thy  poverty  come  as  one  that  travelleth,

continually;  'he  fsoweth  discord.

20  For  why  shouldest  thou,  my  son  *be  ravished  with  a 

strange  woman, 
And  embrace  the  bosom  of  a  stranger  ? 

21  For  the  ways  of  man  are  before  the  eyes  of  the  Loed,

And  in  the  greatness  of  his  folly  he  shall  go  astray. 

O  My  son,  if  thou  art  become  surety  for  thy  neighbour. 
If  thou  hast  stricken  'thy  hands  for  a  stranger, 

2  Thou  art  SHared  with  the  words  of  thy  mouth, 
Thou  art  taken  with  the  words  of  thy  mouth. 

3  Do  this  now,  my  son,  and  deliver  thyself. 

Seeing  thou  art  come  into  the  hand  of  thy  neighbour; 
Go,  'humble  thyself,  and  importune  thy  neighbour. 

4  Give  not  sleep  to  thine  eyes. 
Nor  slumber  to  thine  eyelids.

9  How  long  wilt  thou  '"sleep,  O  sluggard  ? 
When  wilt  thou  arise  out  of  thy  sleep? 

10  Yei  a  little  sleep,  a  little  slumber, 

A  little  folding  of  the  hands  to  '"sleep: 

11  So  shall  thy  poverty  come  as  a  "robber, 
And  thy  want  as  '^an  armed  man. 

12 A  worthless  person,  a  man  of  iniquity; 
He  walketh  with  a  froward  mouth ; 

13  He  winketh  with  his  eyes,  he  '^speaketh  with  his  feet. 
He  '^maketh  signs  with  his  fingers ; 

14  Frowardness  is  in  his  heart,  he  deviseth  evil  continually ; 
He  'fsoweth  discord. 

15  Therefore  shall  his  calamity  come  suddenly ; 

On  a  sudden  shall  he  be  broken,  and  that  without  remedy. 

16  There  be  six  things  which  the  Lord  hateth ;

tery II  of  the  tongue  of  a  strange  woman. 

25  "Lust  not  after  her  beauty  in  thine  heart;  neither 
let  her  take  thee  with  her  eyelids. 

26  For  'by  means  of  a  whorish  woman  a  man  is  brought 
to  a  piece  of  bread :  "and  fthe  adulteress  will  "Tiunt  for 
the  precious  life. 

27  Can  a  man  take  fire  in  his  bosom,  and  his  clothes 
not  be  burned  ? 

28  Can  one  go  upon  hot  coals,  and  his  feet  not  be  burned? 

29  So  he  that  goeth  in  to  his  neighbour's  wife;  who- 
soever toucheth  her  shall  not  be  innocent. 

30  Men  do  not  despise  a  thief,  if  he  steal  to  satisfy  his 
soul  when  he  is  hungry ; 

31  But  if  he  be  found,  'he  shall  restore  sevenfold ;  he 
shall  give  all  the  substance  of  his  house. 

32  But  whoso  committeth  adultery  with  a  woman, 
^lacketb  funderstanding ;  he  that  doeth  it,  destroy eth 
his  own  soul. 

33  A  wound  and  dishonour  shall  he  get;  and  his  re- 
proach shall  not  be  wiped  away. 

34  For  jealousy  is  the  rage  of  a  man :  therefore  he  will 
not  spare  in  the  day  of  vengeance. 

35  fHe  will  not  regard  any  ransom;  neither  will  he 
rest  content,  though  thou  givest  many  gifts. 

CHAPTER    VII. 

Solomon  persuadeth  to  a  sincere  and  kind  familiarity  with  wisdom. 

MY  son,  keep  my  words,  and  "lay  up  my  command- 
ments with  thee. 

2  *Keep  my  commandments,  and  live ;  "and  my  law 
as  the  apple  of  thine  eye. 

3  ''Bind  them  upon  thy  fingers,  write  them  upon  the 
table  of  thine  heart. 

4  Say  unto  wisdom.  Thou  art  my  sister,  and  call 
understanding  thy  kinswoman : 

5  'That  they  may  keep  thee  from  the  strange  woman, 
from  the  stranger  which  flattereth  with  her  words. 

6  ^For  at  the  window  of  my  house  I  looked  through 
my  casement, 

7  And  beheld  among  the  simple  ones,  I  discerned 
among  fthe  youths,  a  young  man  •'void  of  understanding, 

8  Passing  through  the  street  near  her  corner ;  and  he 
went  the  way  to  her  house, 

9  "In  the  twilight,  fin  the  evening,  in  the  black  and 
dark  night : 

10  And,  behold,  there  met  him  a  woman  leith  the  attire 
of  a  harlot,  and  subtile  of  heart. 

11  (*She  is  loud  and  stubborn ;  "her  feet  abide  not  in 
her  house : 

12  Now  is  s^e  without,  now  in  the  streets,  and  lieth;  in 
wait  at  every  corner.) 

13  So  she  caught  him,  and  kissed  him,  and  fwith  an 
impudent  fiice  said  unto  him, 

14  fJ  have  peace  ofleringa  with  me;  this  day  have  I 
I  paid  my  vows. 


18  An  heart:  that  deviseth  wicked  imaginations. 
Feet  that  be  swift  in  running  to  mischief; 

19  A  false  witness  that  'uttereth  lies. 
And  he  that  ^soweth  discord  among  brethren, 

20  My  son,  keep  the  commandment  of  thy  fiither, 
And  forsake  not  the 'law  of  thy  mother; 

21  Bind  them  continually  upon  thine  heart, 
Tie  them  about  thy  neck. 

22  When  thou  walkest,  it  shall  lead  thee ; 
When  thou  ^sleepest,  it  shall  watch  over  thee ; 
And  when  thou  awakest,  it  shall  talk  with  thee. 

23  For  'the  commandment  is  a  lamp ;  and  *the  law  is  light ; 
And  reproofs  of  instruction  are  the  way  of  life : 

24  To  keep  thee  from  the  evil  woman. 
From  the  flattery  of  the  stranger's  tongue. 

25  Lust  not  after  her  beauty  in  thine  heart ; 
Neither  let  her  take  thee  with  her  eyelids. 

26  For  on  account  of  a  whorish  woman  a  man  is  brought  to 

a  piece  of  bread  : 
And  'the  adulteress  hunteth  for  the  precious  life. 

27  Can  a  man  take  fire  in  his  bosom, 
And  his  clothes  not  be  burned? 

28  Or  can  one  walk  upon  hot  coals, 
And  his  feet  not  be  scorched? 

29  So  he  that  goeth  in  to  his  neighbour's  wife ; 
Whosoever  toucheth  her  shall  not  be  'unpunished. 

30  Men  do  not  despise  a  thief,  if  he  steal 
To  satisfy  his  soul  when  he  is  hungry: 

31  But  if  he  be  found,  he  shall  restore  sevenfold; 
He  shall  give  all  the  substance  of  his  house. 

32  He  that  committeth  adultery  with  a  woman  is  void  of 

'understanding : 
He  doeth  it  that  would  destroy  his  own  soul. 

33  Wounds  and  dishonour  shall  he  get ; 
And  his  reproach  shall  not  be  wiped  away. 

34 For  jealousy  is  the  rage  of  a  man; 

And  he  will  not  spare  in  the  day  of  vengeance. 
35  He  will  not  regard  any  ransom  ; 

Neither  will  he  rest  content,  though  thou  givest  many  gifls. 

7  My  son,  keep  my  words, 

And  lay  up  my  commandments  with  thee. 
2  Keep  my  commandments  and  live ; 

And  my  "law  as  the  apple  of  thine  eye. 
3 Bind  them  upon  thy  fingers; 

Write  them  upon  the  table  of  thine  heart* 
4 Say  unto  wisdom,  Thou  art  my  sister; 

And  call  understanding  thy  "kinswoman  : 

5  That  they  may  keep  thee  from  the  strange  woman, 
From  the  stranger  which  '^flattereth  with  her  wor<^. 

6  For  at  the  window  of  my  house 

I  looked  forth  through  my  lattice; 

7  And  I  beheld  among  the  simple  ones, 
I  discerned  among  the  youths, 

A  young  man  void  of  understanding 

8  Passing  through  the  street  near  her  corner, 
And  he  went  the  way  to  her  house; 

9  In  the  twilight,  in  the  evening  of  the  day. 
In  the  "blackness  of  night  and  the  darkness. 

10  And,  behold,  there  met  him  a  woman 

With  the  attire  of  an  harlot,  and  "wily  of  heart. 

1 1  She  is  "clamorous  and  wilful ; 
Her  feet  abide  not  in  her  house : 

12  Now  she  is  in  the  streets,  now  in  the  broad  places, 
And  lieth  in  wait  at  every  corner. 

13  So  she  caught  him,  and  kissed  him, 

^^And  with  an  impudent  face  she  said  unto  him : 
14 Sacrifices  of  peace  offerings  "are  with  me; 
This  day  have  I  paid  my  vows.

15  Therefore  came  I  forth  to  meet  thee,  diligently  to

16  I  have  decked  my  bed  with  coverings  of  tapestry, 
with  carved  works,  with  *fine  linen  of  E'gypt. 

17  I  have  perfumed  my  bed  with  myrrh,  aloes,  and 
cinnamon. 

18  Come,  let  us  take  our  fill  of  love  until  the  morn- 
ing :  let  us  solace  ourselves  with  loves. 

19  For  the  goodman  is  not  at  home,  he  is  gone  a 
long  journey : 

20  He  hath  taken  a  bag  of  money  fwith  him,  and  will 
come  home  at  the  ||  day  appointed. 

21  With  'her  much  fair  speech  she  caused  him  to 
yield,  ""with  the  flattering  of  her  lips  she  forced  him. 

22  He  goeth  after  her  fstraightway,  as  an  ox  goeth 
to  the  slaughter,  or  as  a  fool  to  the  correction  of  the 
stocks ; 

23  Till  a  dart  strike  through  his  liver;  "as  a  bird 
hasteth  to  the  snare,  and  knoweth  not  that  it  is  for

24  ^Hearken  unto  me  now  therefore,  O  ye  children, 
and  attend  to  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

25  Let  not  thine  heart  decline  to  her  ways,  go  not 
astray  in  her  paths. 

26  For  she  hath  cast  down  many  wounded :  yea,  "many 
strong  men  have  been  slain  by  her. 

27  "Her  house  is  the  way  to  hell,  going  down  to  the 
chambers  of  death. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Wisdom  is  to  be  desired  for  the  blessedness  it  bringeth, 

DOTH  not  "wisdom  cry  ?  and  understanding  put  forth 
her  voice? 

2  She  standeth  in  the  top  of  high  places,  by  the  way 
in  the  places  of  the  paths. 

3  She  crieth  at  the  gates,  at  the  entry  of  the  city,  at  the 
coming  in  at  the  doors : 

4  Unto  you,  O  men,  I  call ;  and  my  voice  is  to  the 
sons  of  man. 

5  O  ye  simple,  understand  wisdom :  and,  ye  fools,  be 
ye  of  an  understanding  heart. 

6.  Hear ;  for  I  will  speak  of  'excellent  things ;  and  the 
opening  of  my  lips  shall  be  right  things. 

7  For  my  mouth  shall  speak  truth :  and  wickedness  is 
fan  abomination  to  my  lips. 

8  All  the  words  of  my  mouth  are  in  righteousness; 
there  is  nothing  ffroward  or  perverse  in  them. 

9  They  are  all  plain  to  him  that  understandeth,  and 
right  to  them  that  find  knowledge. 

10  Receive  my  instruction,  and  not  silver;  and 
knowledge  rather  than  choice  gold. 

11  "For  wisdom  is  better  than  rubies;  and  all  the 
things  that  may  be  desired  are  not  to  be  compared 
to  it. 

12  1  wisdom  dwell  with  ||  prudence,  and  find  out 
knowledge  of  witty  inventions. 

13  ''The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  to  hate  evil :  'pride,  and 
arrogancy,  and  the  evil  way,  and  -^the  froward  mouth, 
do  I  hate. 

14  Counsel  is  mine,  and  sound  wisdom:  I  am  under- 
standing ;  "I  have  .strength. 

15  *By  me  kings  reign,  and  princes  decree  justice. 

16  By  me  princes  rule,  and  nobles,  even  all  the  judges 
of  the  earth.

15  Therefore  came  I  forth  to  meet  thee. 

Diligently  to  seek  thy  face,  and  I  have  found  thee. 

161  have  spread  my  couch  with  'carpets  of  tapestry. 
With  striped  cloths  of  the  yarn  of  E'gypt. 

171  have  ^perfumed  my  bed 

With  myrrh,  aloes,  and  cinnamon. 

18  Come,  let  us  take  our  fiU  of  love  until  the  morning; 
Let  us  solace  ourselves  with  loves. 

19  For  the  goodman  is  not  at  home. 
He  is  gone  a  long  journey : 

20  He  hath  taken  a  bag  of  money  with  him ; 
He  will  come  home  at  the  full  moon. 

21  With  her  much  fair  speech  she  causeth  him  to  yield, 
With  the  flattering  of  her  lips  she  forceth  him  away. 

22  He  goeth  after  her  ^straightway. 
As  an  ox  goeth  to  the  slaughter. 

Or  as  ■'fetters  to  the  correction  of  the  fool; 
23 Till  an  arrow  strike  through  his  liver; 
As  a  bird  hasteth  to  the  snare. 
And  knoweth  not  that  it  is  for  his  life. 

24  Now  therefore,  my  sons,  hearken  unto  me, 
And  attend  to  the  words  of  my  mouth. 

25  Let  not  thine  heart  decline  to  her  ways, 
Go  not  astray  in  her  paths. 

26  For  she  hath  cast  down  many  wounded : 
Yea,  all  her  slain  are  a  mighty  host. 

27  Her  house  is  the  way  to  'She'ol, 
Going  down  to  the  chambers  of  death. 

O  Doth  not  wisdom  cry. 
And  understanding  put  forth  her  voice  ? 

2  In  the  top  of  high  places  by  the  way. 
Where  the  paths  meet,  she  standeth ; 

3  Beside  the  gates,  at  the  entry  of  the  city. 

At  the  coming  in  at  the  doors,  she  crieth  aloud: 
4 Unto  you,  O  men,  I  call; 
And  my  voice  is  to  the  sons  of  men. 

5  0  ye  simple,  understand  'subtilty; 

And,  ye  fools,  be  ye  of  an  understanding  heart. 

6  Hear,  for  I  will  speak  excellent  things ; 

And  the  opening  of  my  lips  shall  be  right  things. 
7 For  my  mouth  shall  utter  truth; 
And  wickedness  is  an  abomination  to  my  lips. 

8  AH  the  words  of  my  mouth  'are  in  righteousness ; 
There  is  nothing  crooked  or  perverse  in  them. 

9  They  are  all  plain  to  him  that  understandeth, 
And  right  to  them  that  find  knowledge. 

10  Receive  my  instruction,  and  not  silver; 
And  knowledge  rather  than  choice  gold. 

1 1  For  wisdom  is  better  than  'rubies ; 

And  all  the  things  that  may  be  desired  are  not  to  be  com- 
pared unto  her. 
121  wisdom  have  made  ^subtilty  my  dwelling. 

And  find  out  'knowledge  and  discretion. 
13 The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  to  hate  evil: 

Pride,  and  arrogancy,  and  the  evil  way. 

And  the  froward  mouth,  do  I  hate. 
14 Counsel  is  mine,  and  '"sound  knowledge: 

I  am  understanding;  I  have  might.

And  princes  decree  justice. 

16  By  me  "princes  rule. 

And  nobles,  even  all  ihe  judges  'W  the  earth.

20  I  1 1  lead  in  the  way  of  righteousness,  in  the  midst 
of  the  paths  of  judgment : 

21  That  I  may  cause  those  that  love  me  to  inherit 
substance ;  and  I  will  fill  their  treasures. 

22  "The  Lord  possessed  me  in  the  beginning  of  his 
way,  before  his  works  of  old. 

23  °I  was  set  up  from  everlasting,  from  the  beginning, 
or  ever  the  earth  was. 

24  When  there  were  no  depths,  I  was  brought 
forth  ;  when  there  were  no  fountains  abounding  with 
water. 

25  "Before  the  mountains  were  settled,  before  the  hills 
was  I  brought  forth. 

26  While  as  yet  he  had  not  made  the  earth,  nor 
the  II  fields,  nor  ||the  highest  part  of  the  dust  of  the 
world. 

27  When  he  prepared  the  heavens,  I  was  there : 
when  he  set  ||a  compass  upon  the  face  of  the  depth : 

28  When  he  established  the  clouds  above :  when  he 
strengthened  the  fountains  of  the  deep : 

29  'When  he  gave  to  the  sea  his  decree  that  the 
waters  should  not  pass  his  commandment;  when  "^he 
appointed  the  foundations  of  the  earth  : 

30  'Then  I  was  by  him,  as  one  brought  up  vnth  him  : 
and  I  was  daily  his  delight,  rejoicing  always  before 
him; 

31  Rejoicing  in  the  habitable  part  of  his  earth ;  and 
my  delights  teere  with  the  sons  of  men. 

32  Now  therefore  hearken  unto  me,  O  ye  children : 
for  "'blessed  are  they  that  keep  my  ways. 

33  Hear  instruction,  and  be  wise,  and  refuse  it  not. 

34  "Blessed  is  the  man  that  heareth  me,  watching

35  For  whoso  findeth  me  findeth  life,  and  shall  fob- 
tain  favour  of  the  Lord. 

36  But  he  that  sinneth  against  me  "wrongeth  his  own 
soul:  all  they  that  hate  me  love  death. 

CHAPTER   IX. 

The  discipline  and  doctrine  of  wisdom. 

WISDOM  hath  "builded  her  house,  she  hath  hewn 
out  her  seven  pillars : 

2  'She  hath  killed  fher  beasts ;  "she  hath  mingled  her 
wine ;  she  hath  also  furnished  her  table. 

3  she  hath  ''sent  forth  her  maidens:  "she  crieth^upon 
the  highest  places  of  the  city, 

4  'Whoso  ta simple,  let  him  turn  in  hither:  a« /or  him 
that  wanteth  understanding,  she  saith  to  him, 

5  *Come,  eat  of  my  bread,  and  drink  of  the  wine 
which  I  have  mingled. 

6  Forsake  the  foolish,  and  live;  and  go  in  the  way 
of  understanding. 

7  He  that  reproveth  a  scorner  getteth  to  himself  shame ; 
and  he  that  rebuketh  a  wicked  man  getteth  himself  a  blot. 

8  'Reprove  not  a  scorner,  lest  he  hate  thee ;  *rebuke 
a  wise  man,  and  he  will  love  thee. 

9  Give  instruction  to  a  wise  man,  and  he  will  be  yet 
wiser:  teach  a  just  man,  'and  he  will  increase  in  learn- 
ing. 

10  "The  fear  of  the  IjORDts  the  beginning  of  wisdom: 
and  the  knowledge  of  the  Holy  is  understanding. 

11  "For  by  me  thy  days  shall  be  multiplied,  and  the 
years  of  thy  life  shall  be  increased. 

12  "If  thou  be  wise,  thou  shalt  be  wise  for  thyself: 
but  if  thou  scornest,  thou  alone  shalt  bear  it. 

13  ^"A  foolish  woman  is  clamorous :  she  is  simple, 
and  knoweth  nothing. 

14  For  she  sitteth  at  the  door  of  her  house,  on  a  seat 
«in  the  high  places  of  the  city. 

15  To  call  passengers  who  go  right  on  their  ways: 


20 1  walk  in  the  way  of  righteousness. 
In  the  midst  of  the  paths  of  judgement: 

21  That  I  may  cause  those  that  love  me  to  inherit  substance, 
And  that  I  may  fill  their  treasuries. 

22  The  Lord  'possessed  me  ^in  the  beginning  of  his  way, 
'Before  his  works  of  old. 

23 1  was  set  up  from  everlasting,  from  the  beginning. 
Or  ever  the  earth  was. 

24  When  there  were  no  depths,  I  was  brought  forth ; 
When  there  were  no  fountains  abounding  with  water. 

25  Before  the  mountains  were  settled, 
Before  the  hills  was  I  brought  forth : 

26  While  as  yet  he  had  not  made  the  earth,  nor  the  fields, 
Nor  the  'beginning  of  the  dust  of  the  world. 

27  When  he  'established  the  heavens,  I  was  there : 
When  he  set  a  circle  upon  the  face  of  the  deep : 

28  When  he  made  firm  the  skies  above : 

When  the  fountains  of  the  deep  became  strong: 

29  When  he  gave  to  the  sea  ^its  bound. 

That  the  waters  should  not  transgress  his  commandment : 
When  he  'marked  out  the  foundations  of  the  earth : 

30  Then  I  was  by  him,  as  a  master  workman : 
And  I  'was  daily  his  delight, 
'Rejoicing  always  before  him ; 

31  'Rejoicing  in  his  habitable  earth  ; 

And  my  delight  was  with  the  sons  of  men. 

32  Now  therefore,  my  sons,  hearken  unto  me : 
For  blessed  are  they  that  keep  my  ways. 

33  Hear  instruction,  and  be  wise, 
And  refuse  it  not. 

34  Blessed  is  the  man  that  heareth  me, 
Watching  daily  at  my  gates. 
Waiting  at  the  posts  of  my  doors. 

35  For  whoso  findeth  me  findeth  life. 
And  shall  '"obtain  favour  of  the  Lord. 

36  But  he  that  "sinneth  against  me  wrongeth  his  own  soul : 
All  they  that  hate  me  love  death. 

y  Wisdom  hath  builded  her  house, 
She  hath  hewn  out  her  seven  pillars: 

2  She  hath  killed  her  beasts ;  she  hath  mingled  her  wine ; 
She  hath  also  furnished  her  table. 

3  She  hath  sent  forth  her  maidens,  she  crieth 
Upon  the  highest  places  of  the  city, 

4 Whoso  is  simple,  let  him  turn  in  thither: 

As  for  him  that  is  void  of  understanding,  she  saith  to  him, 
5  Come,  eat  ye  of  my  bread. 

And  drink  of  the  wine  which  I  have  mingled. 
6'^Leave  off,  ye  simple  ones,  and  live; 

And  walk  in  the  way  of  understanding. 

7  He  that  correcteth  a  scorner  getteth  to  himself  shame  : 
And  he  that  reproveth  a  wicked  man  getteth  himself  a  blot. 

8  Reprove  not  a  scorner,  lest  he  hate  thee : 
Reprove  a  wise  man,  and  he  will  love  thee. 

9  Give  instruction  to  a  wise  man,  and  he  will  be  yet  wiser : 
Teach  a  righteous  man,  and  he  will  increase  in  learning. 

10  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  the  beginning  of  wisdom  : 
And  the  knowledge  of  the  Holy  One  is  understanding. 

11  For  by  me  thy  days  shall  be  multiplied, 
And  the  years  of  thy  life  shall  be  increased. 

12  If  thou  art  wise,  thou  art  wise  for  thyself: 
And  if  thou  scornest,  thou  alone  shalt  bear  it. 

13 "The  foolish  woman  is  clamorous; 
She  is  '^simple,  and  knoweth  nothing. 

14  And  she  sitteth  at  the  door  of  her  house, 
On  a  seat  in  the  high  places  of  the  city, 

15  To  call  to  them  that  pass  by. 

Who  go  right  on  their  ways,  |

7  *The  memory  of  the  just  is  blessed  s  but  the  name  of

11  °Tne  mouth  of  a  righteous  man  is  a  well  of  life: 
but  "violence  covereth  the  mouth  of  the  wicked.

13  In  the  lips  of  him  that  hath  understanding  wisdom 
is  found :  but  ""a  rod  is  for  the  back  of  him  that  is  void 
of  funderstanding. 

14  Wise  jnen  lay  up  knowledge:  but  the  mouth  of  the 
foolish  is  near  destruction. 

15  'The  rich  man's  wealth  is  his  strong  city:  the  de- 
struction of  the  poor  is  their  poverty, 

16  The  labour  of  the  righteous  tendeth  to  life:  the

CHAPTER   XI. 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues,  and  thetr  contrary  vices. 

A°tFALSE  balance  is  abomination  to  the  LoED: 
but  fa  just  weight  is  his  delight. 

2  ^When  pride  cometh,  then  cometh  shame  :  but  with 
the  lowly  is  wisdom. 

3  "^The  integrity  of  the  upright  shall  guide  them :  but 
the  perverseness  of  transgressors  shall  destroy  them. 

4  ''Riches  profit  not  in  the  day  of  wrath :  but  "right- 
eousness delivereth  from  death. 

5  The  righteousness  of  the  perfect  shall  fdirect  his 
way :  but  the  wicked  shall  fall  by  his  own  wickedness. 

6  The  righteon-ness  of  the  upright  shall  deliver  them  : 
but  ■'trangressors  shall  be  taken  in  their  own  naughtiness. 

7  "When  a  wicked  man  dieth,  his  expectation  shall 
perish :  and  the  hope  of  unjust  men  perisheth. 

8  'The  righteous  is  delivered  out  of  trouble,  and  the 
wicked  cometh  in  his  stead. 

9  A  'hypocrite  with  his  mouth  destroyeth  his  neigh- 
bour: but  through  knowledge  shall  the  just  be  delivered. 

10  *When  it  goeth  well  with  the  righteous,  the  city  re- 
joiceth:  and  when  the  wio'  'd  perish,  there  is  shouting. 

11  'By  the  blessing  of  the  upright  the  city  is  exalted: 
but  it  is  overthrown  by  the  mouth  of  the  wicked. 

12  He  that  is  fvoid  of  wisdom  despiseth  his  neigh- 
bour: but  a  man  of  understanding  holdeth  his  peace. 

13  ""fA  talebearer  revealeth  secrets:  but  he  that  is 
of  a  faithful  spirit  concealeth  the  matter. 

14  "Where  bo  counsel  is,  the  people  fall :  but  in  the 
multitude  of  counsellors  there  is  safety. 

15  "He  that  is  surety  for  a  stranger  fshall  smart  for 
it :  and  he  that  hateth  fsuretiship  is  sure. 

16  "A  gracious  woman  retaineth  honour:  and  strong 
men  retain  riches. 

17  'The  merciful  man  doeth  good  to  his  own  soul; 
but  he  that  is  cruel  troubleth  his  own  flesh. 

18  The  wicked  worketh  a  deceitful  work:  but  'to 
him  that  soweth  righteousness  shall  be  a  sure  reward. 

19  As  righteousness  tendeth  to  life ;  so  he  that  pur- 
sueth  evil  pursueth  it  to  his  own  death. 

20  They  that  are  of  a  froward  heart  are  abomination 
to  the  Lord  I  but  such  as  are  upright  in  their  way  are 
his  delight. 

21  'Though  hand  join  in  hand,  the  wicked  shall  not 
be  unpunished :  but  the  seed  of  the  righteous  shall  be 
delivered.

woman  which  fis  without  discretion. 

23  The  desire  of  the  righteous  is  only  good :  fmt  the

6  The  righteousness  of  the  upright  shall  deliver  them  :

EVERY  "wise  woman  'buildeth  her  house :  but  the 
foolish  plucketh  it  down  with  her  hands. 

2  He  that  walketh  in  his  uprightness  feareth  the  Lord  : 
"but  he  that  is  perverse  in  his  ways  despiseth  him. 

3  In  the  mouth  of  the  foolish  is  a  rod  of  pride :  ''but 
the  lips  of  the  wise  shall  preserve  them. 

4  Where  no  oxen  are,  the  crib  is  clean:  but  much 
increase  is  by  the  strength  of  the  ox. 

5  ^A  faithful  witness  will  not  lie:  but  a  false  witness 
will  utter  lies. 

6  A  scorner  seeketh  wisdom,  and  Jindeth  it  not:  but 
•^knowledge  is  easy  unto  him  that  understandeth. 

7  Go  from  the  presence  of  a  foolish  man,  when  thou 
perceivest  not  in  him  the  lips  of  knowledge. 

8  The  wisdom  of  the  prudent  is  to  understand  his 
way:  but  the  folly  of  fools  is  deceit. 

9  "Fools  make  a  mock  at  sin :  but  among  the  right- 
eous there  t«  favour. 


2  A  man  shall  eat  good  'by  the  fruit  of  his  mouth  : 
But  ^the  soul  of  the  treacherous  shall  eat  violence. 

3  He  that  guardeth  his  mouth  keepeth  his  life : 

But  he  that  openeth  wide  his  lips  shall  have  destruction. 

4  The  soul  of  the  sluggard  desireth,  and  hath  nothing:

5  A  righteous  man  hateth  lying : 

But  a  wicked  man  'is  loathsome,  and  cometh  to  shame. 

6  Righteousness  guardeth  ''him  that  is  upright  in  the  way : 
But  wickedness  overthroweth  'the  sinner. 

7  There  is  that  'maketh  himself  rich,  yet  hath  nothing :

20  '^Walk  with  wise  men,  and  thou  shalt  be  wise :

neither  will  he  go  unto  the  wise.

CHAF-TKR  XVI. 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues^  and  their  contrary  vices. 

THE  "11  preparations  of  the  heart  in  man,  'and  the 
answer  of  the  tongue,  is  from  the  Lord. 

2  "All  the  ways  of  a  man  are  clean  in  his  own  eyes ; 
but  ''the  Lord  weigheth  the  spirits. 

3  'fCommit  thy  works  unto  the  Lord,  and  thy 
thoughts  shall  be  established. 

4  •'The  Lord  hath  made  all  things  for  himself:  "yea, 
even  the  wicked  for  the  day  of  evil. 

5  ''Every  one  thai  is  proud  in  heart  is  an  abomina- 
tion to  the  Lord:  Hhough  hand  join  in  hand,  he  shall 
not  be  funpuniahed. 


7  The  lips  of  the  wise  disperse  knowledge : 
But  the  heart  of  the  foolish  ^doeth  not  so. 

8  The  sacrifice  of  the  wicked  is  an  abomination  to  the  Lord 
But  the  prayer  of  the  upright  is  his  delight. 

9  The  way  of  the  wicked  is  an  abomination  to  the  Lord 
But  he  loveth  him  that  followeth  after  righteousness. 

10  There  is  grievous  correction  for  him  that  forsaketh  the 
way: 

And  he  that  hateth  reproof  shall  die. 
ll^She'ol  and  'A-bad'don  are  before  the  Lord: 

How  much  more  then  the  hearts  of  the  children  of  men  ! 
12  A  scorner  loveth  not  to  be  reproved: 

He  will  not  go  unto  the  wise. 
13 A  merry  heart  maketh  a  cheerful  countenance: 

But  by  sorrow  of  heart  the  spirit  is  broken. 

14  The  heart  of  him  that  hath  understanding  seeketh  knowl- 

edge: 
But  the  mouth  of  fools  feedeth  on  folly, 

15  All  the  days  of  the  afflicted  are  evil : 

But  he  that  is  of  a  cheerful  heart  hath  a  continual  feast. 

16  Better  is  little  with  the  fear  of  the  Lord, 
Than  great  treasure  and  trouble  therewith. 

17  Better  is  a  ''dinner  of  herbs  where  love  is. 
Than  a  stalled  ox  and  hatred  therewith. 

18  A  wrathful  man  stirreth  up  contention: 
But  he  that  is  slow  to  anger  appeaseth  strife. 

19  The  way  of  the  sluggard  is  as  an  hedge  of  thorns  : 
But  the  path  of  the  upright  is  made  an  high  way. 

20 A  wise  son  maketh  a  glad  father: 

But  a  foolish  man  despiseth  his  mother. 

21  Folly  is  joy  to  him  that  is  void  of 'wisdom : 

But  a  man  of  understanding  maketh  straight  his  going. 

22  Where  there  is  no  counsel,  purposes  are  disappointed: 
But  in  the  multitude  of  counsellors  they  are  established. 

23  A  man  hath  joy  in  the  answer  of  his  mouth : 
And  a  word  in  due  season,  how  good  is  it! 

24  To  the  wise  the  way  of  life  goeth  upward. 
That  he  may  depart  from  'She'ol  beneath. 

25  The  Lord  will  root  up  the  house  of  the  proud : 
But  he  will  establish  the  border  of  the  widow. 

26  Evil  devices  are  an  abomination  to  the  Lord  : 
But  'pleasant  words  are  pure. 

27  He  that  is  greedy  of  gain  troubleth  his  own  house : 
But  he  that  hateth  gifts  shall  live. 

28  The  heart  of  the  righteous  studieth  to  answer : 

But  the  mouth  of  the  wicked  poureth  out  evil  things. 
29 The  Lord  is  far  from  the  wicked: 

But  he  heareth  the  prayer  of  the  righteous. 

30  The  light  of  the  eyes  rejoiceth  the  heart : 
And  good  tidings  make  the  bones  fat. 

31  The  ear  that  hearkeneth  to  the  reproof  of  life 
Shall  abide  among  the  wise. 

32  He  that  refuseth  'correction  despiseth  his  own  soul : 
But  he  that  hearkeneth  to  reproof  getteth  'understanding. 

33  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  the  instruction  of  wisdom ; 
And  before  honour  goeth  humility. 

+v  The  'preparations  of  the  heart  belong  to  man  : 
But  the  answer  of  the  tongue  is  from  the  Lord. 

2  All  the  ways  of  a  maa  are  clean  in  his  own  eyes . 
But  the  Lord  weigheth  the  spirits. 

3  '"Commit  thy  works  unto  the  Lord, 
And  thy  "thoughts  shall  be  established. 

4 The  Lord  hath  made  everything  for  '''its  own  end: 

Yea,  even  the  wicked  for  the  day  of  evil. 
5  Every  one  that  is  proud  in  heart  is  an  abomination  to  the 
Lord: 

^^Though  hand  yoin  in  hand,  he  shall  not  be  unpunished.

even  his  enemies  to  be  at  peace  with  him. 

8  "Better  is  a  little  with  righteousness,  than  great 
revenues  without  right. 

9  "A  man's  heart  deviseth  his  way:  "but  the  Lord 
directeth  his  steps. 

10  fA  divine  sentence  is  in  the  lips  of  the  king:  his 
mouth  transgresseth  not  in  judgment. 

11  "A  just  weight  and  balance  are  the  Lord's:  fall 
the  weights  of  the  bag  are  his  work. 

\2  It  is  an  abomination  to  kings  to  commit  wicked- 
ness: for  'the  throne  is  established  by  righteousness. 

13  ""Righteous  lips  are  the  delight  of  kings ;  and  they 
love  him  that  speaketh  right. 

14  "The  wrath  of  a  king  is  as  messengers  of  death : 
but  a  wise  man  will  pacify  it. 

15  In  the  light  of  the  king's  countenance  is  life;  and 
'his  favour  is  "as  a  cloud  of  the  latter  rain. 

16  "'How  much  better  is  it  to  get  wisdom  than

than  silver?  i 

17  The  highway  of  the  upright  is  to  depart  from  evil : 
he  that  keepeth  his  way  preserveth  his  soul. 

18  "Pride  goeth  before  destruction,  and  a  haughty 
spirit  before  a  fall. 

19  Better  it  is  to  be  of  a  humble  spirit  with  the  lowly,

20  II  He  that  handleth  a  matter  wisely  shall  find  good :

21  The  wise  in  heart  shall  be  called  prudent  t  and  the 
sweetness  of  the  lips  increaseth  learning. 

22  "Understanding  is  a  wellspring  of  life  unto  him

23  ''The  heart  of  the  wise  fteacheth  his  mouth,  and

there  is  as  a  burning  fire.

29  A  violent  man  "enticeth  his  neighbour,  and  leadeth 
him  into  the  way  that  is  not  good. 

30  He  shutteth  his  eyes  to  devise  froward  things: 
moving  his  lips  he  bringeth  evil  to  pass. 

31  'The  hoary  head  is  a  crown  of  glory,  if  it  be  found 
in  the  way  of  righteousness. 

32  'He  that  is  slow  to  anger  is  better  than  the 
mighty;  and  he  that  ruleth  his  spirit  than  he  that 
taketh  a  city.

CHAPTER    XVII. 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues,  and  their  contrary  viees, 

BETTER  is  "a  dry  morsel,  and  quietness  therewith, 
than  a  house  full  of  ||  sacrifices  with  strife. 

2  A  wise  servant  shall  have  rule  over  ''a  son  that 
causeth  shame,  and  shall  have  part  of  the  inheritance 
among  the  brethren. 

3  'The  fining  pot  is  for  silver,  and  the  furnace  for  gold : 
but  the  Lord  trieth  the  hearts. 

4  A  wicked  doer  giveth  heed  to  false  lips ;  and  a  liar 
giveth  ear  to  a  naughty  tongue. 


6  By  mercy  and  truth  iniquity  is  'purged : 
And  by  the  fear  of  the  Lord  men  depart  from  evil. 

7  When  a  man's  ways  please  the  Lord, 
He  maketh  even  his  enemies  to  be  at  peace  with  him. 

8  Better  is  a  little  with  righteousness 
Than  great  revenues  with  injustice. 

9  A  man's  heart  deviseth  his  way : 
But  the  Lord  directeth  his  steps : 

10 ^A  divine  sentence  is  in  the  lips  of  the  king: 
His  mouth  shall  not  transgress  in  judgement. 

11  A  just  balance  and  scales  are  the  IjOED's  : 
All  the  weights  of  the  bag  are  his  work. 

12  It  is  an  abomination  to  kings  to  commit  wickedness : 
For  the  throne  is  established  by  righteousness. 

13  Righteous  lips  are  the  delight  of  kings ; 
And  they  love  him  that  speaketh  right. 

14The  wrath  of  a  king  is  as  messengers  of  death: 
But  a  wise  man  will  pacify  it. 

15  In  the  light  of  the  king's  countenance  is  life ; 
And  his  favour  is  as  a  cloud  of  the  latter  rain. 

16  How  much  better  is  it  to  get  wisdom  than  gold ! 
Yea,  to  get  understanding  is  rather  to  be  chosen  than 

silver. 

17  The  high  way  of  the  upright  is  to  depart  from  evil : 
He  that  keepeth  his  way  preserveth  his  soul. 

18  Pride  goeth  before  destruction, 
And  an  haughty  spirit  before  a  fall. 

19  Better  it  is  to  be  of  a  lowly  spirit  with  the  'poor. 
Than  to  divide  the  spoil  with  the  proud. 

20  He  that  *giveth  heed  unto  'the  word  shall  find  good  i 
And  whoso  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  happy  is  he. 

21  The  wise  in  heart  shall  be  called  prudent : 
And  the  sweetness  of  the  lips  increaseth  learning. 

22  Understanding  is  a  wellspring  of   life  unto   him  tkat 

hath  it: 
But  the  correction  of  fools  is  their  folly. 

23  The  heart  of  the  wise  instructeth  his  mouth, 
And  addeth  learning  to  his  lips. 

24  Pleasant  words  are  as  an  honeycomb. 
Sweet  to  the  soul,  and  health  to  the  bones. 

25  ^There  is  a  way  which  ^seemeth  right  unto  a  man, 
But  the  end  thereof  are  the  ways  of  death. 

26  The  appetite  of  the  labouring  man  laboureth  for  him ; 
For  his  mouth  'craveth  it  of  him. 

27  A  worthless  man  'deviseth  mischief: 
And  in  his  lips  there  is  a  scorching  fire. 

28  A  froward  man  scattereth  abroad  strife  :

29  A  man  of  violence  enticeth  his  neighbour.

32  He  that  is  slow  to  anger  is  better  than  the  mighty ; 
And  he  that  ruleth  his  spirit  than  he  that  taketh  a  city.

CHAPTER   XVIII. 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues,  and  their  contrary  vices. 

THROUGH  II  desire  a  man,  having  separated  him- 
self, seeketh  and  intermeddleth  with  all  wisdom. 

2  A  fool  hath  no  delight  in  understanding,  but  that 
his  heart  may  discover  itself. 

3  When  the  wicked  cometh,  then  cometh  also  con- 
tempt, and  with  ignominy  reproach. 

4  "The  words  of  a  man's  mouth  are  as  deep  waters, 
''and  the  wellspring  of  wisdom  as  a  flowing  brook. 

5  'It  is  not  good  to  accept  the  person  of  the  wicked, 
to  overthrow  the  righteous  in  judgment. 

6  A  fool's  lips  enter  into  contention,  and  his  mouth 
calleth  for  strokes. 

7  ■'A  fool's  mouth  is  his  destruction,  and  his  lips  are 
the  snare  of  his  soul. 

8  "The  words  of  a  ||  talebearer  are  ||as  wounds,  and 
they  go  down  into  the  tinnermost  parts  of  the  belly. 


5 Whoso  mocketh  the  poor  reproacheth  his  Maker: 
And  he  that  is  glad  at  calamity  shall  not  be  unpunished. 

6  Children's  children  are  the  crown  of  old  men ; 
And  the  glory  of  children  are  their  fathers. 

7  'Excellent  speech  becometh  not  a  fool : 
Much  less  do  lying  lips  a  prince. 

8  A  gift  is  as  a  precious  stone  in  the  eyes  of  him  that  hath  it : 
Whithersoever  ^it  turneth,  ^it  ^prospereth. 

9  He  that  covereth  a  transgression  seeketh  love: 

But  he  that  harpeth  on  a  matter  ^separateth  chief  friends. 
10  A  rebuke  entereth   deeper  into  one   that   hath   under- 
standing 

Than  an  hundred  stripes  into  a  fool. 
11 'An  evil  man  seeketh  only  rebellion; 

Therefore  a  cruel  messenger  shall  be  sent  against  him, 

12  Let  a  bear  robbed  of  her  whelps  meet  a  man, 
Rather  than  a  fool  in  his  folly. 

13  Whoso  rewardeth  evil  for  good. 
Evil  shall  not  depart  from  his  house. 

14  The  beginning  of  strife  is  as  when  one  letteth  out  water: 
Therefore  leave  off  contention,  before  there  be  quarreU'ng. 

15  He  that  justifieth  the  wicked,  and  he  that  condemneth 

the  righteous. 
Both  of  them  alike  are  an  abomination  to  the  Lord. 

16  Wherefore  is  there  a  price  in  the  hand  of  a  fool  to  buy 

wisdom, 
Seeing  he  hath  no  'understanding  ? 

17  A  friend  loveth  at  all  times. 

And  'a  brother  is  born  for  adversity. 

18  A  man  void  of  'understanding  striketh  hands, 

And  becometh  surety  in  the  presence  of  his  neighbour. 
19 'He  loveth  transgression  that  loveth  strife : 

He  that  raiseth  high  his  gate  seeketh  destruction. 

20  He  that  hath  a  froward  heart  findeth  no  good : 

And  he  that  hath  a  perverse  tongue  falleth  into  'mischief. 

21  He  that  begetteth  a  fool  doeth  it  to  his  sorrow : 
And  the  father  of  a  fool  hath  no  joy. 

22  A  merry  heart  '"is  a  good  medicine : 
But  a  broken  spirit  drieth  up  the  bones. 

23  A  wicked  man  taketh  a  gift  out  of  the  bosom, 
To  pervert  the  ways  of  judgement. 

24  Wisdom  is  before  the  face  of  him  that  hath  understanding : 
But  the  eyes  of  a  fool  are  in  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

25  A  foolish  son  is  a  grief  to  his  father. 
And  bitterness  to  her  that  bare  him. 

26  Also  to  "punish  the  righteous  is  not  good, 
Nor  to  smite  the  noble  for  their  uprightness. 

27  '^He  that  spareth  his  words  hath  knowledge  : 

And  he  that  is  of  a  cool  spirit  is  a  man  of  understanding. 

28  Even  a  fool,  when  he  holdeth  his  peace,  is  counted  wise : 
"When  he  shutteth  his  lips,  he  is  esteemed  as  prudent. 

-to  He  that  separateth  himself  seeketh  his  own  desire, 
And  '*rageth  against  all  sound  wisdom. 

2  A  fool  hath  no  delight  in  understanding, 
But  only  that  his  heart  may  reveal  itself. 

3  When  the  wicked  cometh,  there  cometh  also  contempt, 
And  with  ignominy  cometh  reproach. 

4  The  words  of  a  man's  mouth  are  as  deep  waters ; 
"The  wellspring  of  wisdom  is  as  a  flowing  brook. 

5  To  accept  the  person  of  the  wicked  is  not  good, 
^^Nor  to  turn  aside  the  righteous  in  judgement. 

6  A  fool's  lips  "enter  into  contention. 
And  his  mouth  calleth  for  stripes. 

7  A  fool's  mouth  is  his  destruction. 
And  his  lips  are  the  snare  of  his  soul. 

8  The  words  of  a  whisperer  are  as  dainty  morsels, 
And  they  go  down  into   the  '^innermost  parts  of  the

9  He  also  that  is  slothful  in  Ms  work  is  -^  brother  to

10  "The  name  of  the  Lord  is  a  strong  tower :  the 
righteous  runneth  into  it,  and  fis  safe. 

1 1  *The  rich  man's  wealth  is  his  strong  city,  and  as  a 
high  wall  in  his  own  conceit. 

12  'Before  destruction  the  heart  of  man  is  haughty; 
and  before  honour  is  humility. 

13  He  that  fanswereth  a  matter  *before  he  beareth 
it,  it  is  folly  and  shame  unto  him. 

14  The  spirit  of  a  man  will  sustain  his  infirmity;  but 
a  wounded  spirit  who  can  bear? 

15  The  heart  of  the  prudent  getteth  knowledge  ;  and 
the  ear  of  the  wise  seeketh  knowledge. 

16  'A  man's  gift  maketh  room  for  him,  and  bringeth 
him  before  great  men. 

17  He  that  is  first  in  his  own  cause  seemeth  just;  but 
his  neighbour  cometh  and  searcheth  him. 

18  The  lot  causeth  contentions  to  cease,  and  parteth 
between  the  mighty. 

19  A  brother  ofiended  is  harder  to  be  won  than  a  strong 
city  :  and  their  contentions  are  like  the  bars  of  a  castle. 

20  ""A  man's  belly  shall  be  satisfied  with  the  fruit  of 
his  mouth ;  and  with  the  increase  of  his  lips  shall  he 
be  filled. 

21  "Death  and  life  are  in  the  power  of  the  tongue : 
and  they  that  love  it  shall  eat  the  fruit  thereof. 

22  "Whoso  findeth  a  wife  findeth  a  good  thing,  and 
obtaineth  favour  of  the  Lord. 

23  The  poor  useth  entreaties  ;  but  the  rich  answereth 
"roughly. 

24  A  man  that  hath  friends  must  shew  himself 
friendly :  «and  there  is  a  friend  that  sticketh  closer 
than  a  brother. 

CHAPTER    XIX. 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues,  and  their  contrary  vices. 

BETTER  "is  the  poor  that  walketh  in  his  integrity, 
than  ht  that  is  perverse  in  his  lips,  and  is  a  fool. 

2  Also,  that  the  soul  be  without  knowledge,  it  is  not 
good ;  and  he  that  hasteth  with  his  feet  sinneth. 

3  The  foolishness  of  man  perverteth  his  way :  'and 
his  heart  fretteth  against  the  Lord. 

4  "Wealth  maketh  many  friends;  but  the  poor  is 
separated  from  his  neighbour. 

5  ''A  false  witness  shall  not  be  funpunished ;  and  he 
that  speaketh  lies  shall  not  escape. 

6  'Many  will  entreat  the  favour  of  the  prince :  and 
-'every  man  is  a  friend  to  thim  that  giveth  gifts. 

7  "An  the  brethren  of  the  poor  do  hate  him  :  how 
much  more  do  his  friends  go  *far  from  him?  he  pur- 
sueth  them  with  words,  yet  they  are  wanting  to  him. 

8  He  that  getteth  fwisdom  loveth  his  own  soul :  he 
that  keepeth  understanding  'shall  find  good. 

9  *A  false  witness  shall  not  be  unpunished ;  and  he 
that  speaketh  lies  shall  perish. 

10  Delight  is  not  seemly  for  a  fool ;  much  less  'for  a 
servant  to  have  rule  over  princes. 

11  "The  II discretion  of  a  man  deferreth  his  anger; 
"and  it  is  his  glory  to  pass  over  a  transgression. 

12  "The  king's  wrath  is  as  the  roaring  of  a  lion;  but 
his  favour  is  "as  dew  upon  the  grass. 

13  "A  foolish  son  is  the  calamity  of  his  father:  ''and 
the  contentions  of  a  wife  are  a  continual  dropping. 

14  "House  and  riches  are  the  inheritance  oi  fathers : 
and  'a  prudent  wife  is  from  the  Lord. 

15  "Slothfulness  casteth  into  a  deep  sleep;  and  an 
idle  soul  shall  ^suffer  hunger. 

16  "He  that  keepeth  the  commandment  keepeth  his 
own  soul ;  but  he  that  despiseth  his  ways  shall  die.

Is  brother  to  him  that  is  a  destroyer. 

10  The  name  of  the  Lord  is  a  strong  tower: 
The  righteous  runneth  into  it,  and  'is  safe. 

11  The  rich  man's  wealth  is  his  strong  city, 
And  as  an  high  wall  in  his  own  imagination. 

12  Before  destruction  the  heart  of  man  is  haughty, 
And  before  honour  goeth  humility. 

13  He  that  giveth  answer  before  he  heareth. 
It  is  folly  and  shame  unto  him. 

14  The  spirit  of  a  man  will  sustain  his  infirmity; 
But  a  broken  spirit  who  can  ^bear? 

15  The  heart  of  the  prudent  getteth  knowledge; 
And  the  ear  of  the  wise  seeketh  knowledge. 

16  A  man's  gift  maketh  room  for  him. 
And  bringeth  him  before  great  men. 

17  He  that  pleadeth  his  cause  first  seemeth ^ast ; 

But  his  neighbour  cometh  and  searcheth  him  out. 

18  The  lot  causeth  contentions  to  cease. 
And  parteth  between  the  mighty. 

19  A  brother  'offended  is  harder  to  be  won  than  a  strong 

city; 
And  such  contentions  are  like  the  bars  of  a  castle. 

20  A  man's  belly  shall  be  filled  with  the  fruit  of  his  mouth ; 
With  the  increase  of  his  lips  shall  he  be  satisfied. 

21  Death  and  life  are  in  the  power  of  the  tongue ; 
And  they  that  love  it  shall  eat  the  fruit  thereof. 

22  Whoso  findeth  a  wife  findeth  a  good  thing, 
And  obtaineth  favour  of  the  Lord. 

23  The  poor  useth  entreaties  : 

But  the  rich  answereth  roughly. 
24*He  that  maketh  many  friends  doeth  it  to  his  own  de- 
struction : 
But  there  is  a  "friend  that  sticketh  closer  than  a  brother. 

+y  Better  is  the  poor  that  walketh  in  his  integrity 
Than  he  that  is  perverse  in  his  lips  and  is  a  fool. 

2  Also,  *that    the    soul    be    without    knowledge    is   not 

good; 
And  he  that  hasteth  with  his  feet  ^sinneth, 

3  The  foolishness  of  man  subverteth  his  Avay ; 
And  his  heart  fretteth  against  the  Lord. 

4  Wealth  addetb  many  friends : 

But  *the  poor  is  separated  from  his  friend. 

5  A  false  witness  shall  not  be  unpunished; 
And  he  that  'uttereth  lies  shall  not  escape. 

6  Many  will  intreat  the  favour  of  "the  liberal  man : 
And  every  man  is  a  friend  to  him  that  giveth  gifts. 

7  All  the  brethren  of  the  poor  do  hate  him  : 
How  much  more  do  his  friends  go  far  from  him ! 
"He  pursueth  them  with  words,  bui  they  are  gone. 

8  He  that  getteth  '^wisdom  loveth  his  own  soul : 
He  that  keepeth  understanding  shall  find  good. 

9  A  false  witness  shall  not  be  unpunished ; 
And  he  that  'uttereth  lies  shall  perish. 

10  Delicate  living  is  not  seemly  for  a  fool ; 

Much  less  for  a  servant  to  have  rule  over  princes. 

11  The  discretion  of  a  man  maketh  him  slow  to  anger; 
And  it  is  his  glory  to  pass  over  a  transgression. 

12 The  king's  wrath  is  as  the  roaring  of  a  lion; 
But  his  favour  is  as  dew  upon  the  grass. 

13  A  foolish  son  is  the  calamity  of  his  father  : 

And  the  contentions  of  a  wife  are  a  continual  dropping. 

14  House  and  riches  are  an  inheritance  from  fathers : 
But  a  prudent  wife  is  from  the  Lord. 

15 Slothfulness  casteth  into  a  deep  sleep; 

And  the  idle  soul  shall  suffer  hunger. 
16  He  that  keepeth  the  commandment  keepeth  his  soul : 

But  he  that  ''is  careless  of  his  ways  shall  die.

CHAPTER  XX. 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues,  and  their  contrary  vices. 

WINE  "is  a  mocker,  strong  drink  is  raging:    and 
whosoever  is  deceived  thereby  is  not  wise. 

2  ''The  fear  of  a  king  is  as  the  roaring  of  a  lion :  whoso 
provoketh  him  to  anger  "sinneth  against  his  own  soul. 

3  ^It  is  an  honour  for  a  man  to  cease  from  strife :  but 
every  fool  will  be  meddling. 

4  'The  sluggard  will  not  plough  by  reason  of  the  ||  cold; 
■^therefore  ahail  he  beg  in  harvest,  and  have  nothing. 

5  'Counsel  in  the  heart  of  man  is  like  deep  water ;  but 
a  man  of  understanding  will  draw  it  out. 

6  ''Most  men  will  proclaim  every  one  his  own  own 
II  goodness:  but  'a  faithful  man  who  can  find? 

7  *The  just  man  walketh  in  his  integrity :  'his  children 
are  blessed  after  him. 

8  ""A  king  that  sitteth  in  the  throne  of  judgment  scat- 
tereth  away  all  evil  with  his  eyes. 

9  "Who  can  say,  I  have  made  my  heart  clean,  I  am 
pure  from  my  sin  ? 

10  "fDivers  weights,  and  fdivers  measures,  both  of 
them  are  alike  abomination  to  the  Lord. 

11  Even  a  child  is  "known  by  his  doings,  whether  his 
work  be  pure,  and  whether  it  be  right. 

12  'The  hearing  ear,  and  the  seeing  eye,  the  Lord 
hath  made  even  both  of  them. 

13  'Love  not  sleep,  lest  thou  come  to  poverty ;  open 
thine  eyes,  and  thou  shalt  be  satisfied  with  bread. 

li  It  is  naught,  it  is  naught,  saith  the  buyer:  but 
when  he  is  gone  his  way,  then  he  boasteth. 

1 5  There  is  gold,  and  a  multitude  of  rubies :  but  the 
lips  of  knowledge  are  a  precious  jewel. 

16  'Take  his  garment  that  is  surety  for  a  stranger: 
and  take  a  pledge  of  him  for  a  strange  woman.

22 'The  desire  of  a  man  is  the  measure  of  his  kindness:

26  He  that  ^spoileth  his  fether,  and  chaseth  away  his  mother, 
Is  a  son  that  causeth  shame  and  bringeth  reproach. 

27  Cease,  my  son,  to  hear  instruction 

Only  to  err  from  the  words  of  knowledge. 

28  A  worthless  witness  mocketh  at  judgement: 

And  the  mouth  of  the  wicked  swalloweth  iniquity. 

29  Judgements  are  prepared  for  scorners, 
And  stripes  for  the  back  of  fools.

2 The  terror  of  a  king  is  as  the  roaring  of  a  lion: 
He  that  ^provoketh  him  to  anger  sinneth  against  his  own 
nife. 

3  It  is  an  honour  for  a  man  to  'keep  aloof  from  strife : 
But  every  fool  will  be  quarrelling. 

4  The  slothful  will  not  plow  by  reason  of  the  winter ; 
"Therefore  he  shall  beg  in  harvest,  and  have  nothing.

CHAPTER    XXI. 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues,  and  their  contrary  vices. 

THE  king's  heart  is  in  the  hand  of  the  Lord,  as  the 
rivers  of  water :  he  turneth  it  whithersoever  he  will. 

2  "Every  way  of  a  man  is  right  in  his  own  eyes:  'but 
the  Lord  pondereth  the  hearts. 

3  "To  do  justice  and  judgment  is  more  acceptable  to 
the  Lord  than  sacrifice. 

4  ■'fA  high  look  and  a  proud  heart,  and  ||the  plough- 
ing of  the  wicked,  is  sin. 

5  "The  thoughts  of  the  diligent  tend  only  to  plente-

6  •'^The  getting  of  treasures  by  a  lying  tongue  is  a 
vanity  tossed  to  and  fro  of  them  that  seek  death. 

7  The  robbery  of  the  wicked  shall  destroy  fthem ; 
because  they  refuse  to  do  judgment. 

8  The  way  of  man  is  fro  ward  and  strange:  but  as  for 
the  pure,  his  work  is  right. 

9  'It  is  better  to  dwell  in  a  corner  of  the  housetop,

10  ''The  soul  of  the  wicked  de.sireth  evil;  his  neigh-

11  'When  the  scorner  is  punished,  the  simple  is  made 
wise:  and  when  the  wise  is  instructed,  he  receiveth

12  The  righteous  man  wisely  considereth  the  house 
of  the  wicked:  but  God  overthroweth  the  wicked  for 
their  wickedness.

tion shall  be  to  the  workers  of  iniquity. 

16  The  man  that  wandereth  out  of  the  way  of  under-

and  the  transgressor  for  the  upright. 

19  "It  is  better  to  dwell  fin  the  wilderness,  than  with 
a  contentious  and  an  angry  woman. 

20  "  There  is  treasure  to  be  desired,  and  oil  in  the  dwell-

21  'He  that  followeth  after  righteousness  and  mercy 
findeth  life,  righteousness,  and  honour. 


20  Whoso  curseth  his  fatner  or  his  mother, 

His  lamp  shall  be  put  out  in  the  blackest  darkness. 

21  An  inheritance  may  be  gotten  hastily  at  the  beginning; 
But  the  end  thereof  shall  not  be  blessed. 

22  Say  not  thou,  I  will  recompen.se  evil : 
Wait  on  the  Lord,  and  he  shall  save  thee. 

23  Divers  weights  are  an  abomination  to  the  Lord  ; 
And  'a  false  balance  is  not  good. 

24  A  man's  goings  are  of  the  Lord; 
How  then  can  man  understand  his  way? 

25  It  is  a  snare  to  a  man  ^rashly  to  say.  It  is  holy, 
And  after  vows  to  make  inquiry. 

26  A  wise  king  winnoweth  the  wicked. 

And  bringeth  the  threshing  wheel  over  them. 

27  The  spirit  of  man  is  the  lamp  of  the  Lord, 
Searching  all  the  innermost  parts  of  the  belly. 

28  Mercy  and  truth  preserve  the  king: 
And  'his  throne  is  upholden  by  mercy. 

29  The  glory  of  young  men  is  their  strength : 
And  the  beauty  of  old  men  is  the  hoary  head. 

30  Stripes  that  wound  cleanse  away  evil : 

And  strokes  reach  the  innermost  parts  of  the  belly. 

^J-  The  king's  hearfe  is  in  the  hand  of  the  Lord  as  the 
Watercourses : 
He  turneth  it  whithersoever  he  will. 

2  Every  way  of  a  man  is  right  in  his  own  eyes : 
But  the  Lord  weigheth  the  hearts. 

3  To  do  justice  and  judgement 

Is  more  acceptable  to  the  Lord  than  sacrifice. 

4  An  high  look,  and  a  proud  heart, 
*Even  the  lamp  of  the  wicked,  is  sin. 

5  The  thoughts  of  the  diligent  tend  only  to  plenteousness : 
But  every  one  that  is  hasty  hasteth  only  to  want. 

6  The  getting  of  treasures  by  a  lying  tongue 

Is  a  vapour  driven  to  and  fro ;  'they  that  seek  them  seek 
death. 

7  The  violence  of  the  wicked  shall  sweep  them  away ; 
Because  they  refuse  to  do  judgement. 

8  The  way  of  him  that  is  laden  with  guilt  is  exceeding 

crooked : 
But  as  for  the  pure,  his  work  is  'right. 

9  It  is  better  to  dwell  in  the  corner  of  the  housetop, 
Than  with  a  contentious  woman  in  "a  wide  house. 

10  The  soul  of  the  wicked  desireth  evil: 

His  neighbour  findeth  no  favour  in  his  eyes. 

11  When  the  scorner  is  punished,  the  simple  is  made  wise: 
And  'when  the  wise  is  instructed,  he  receiveth  knowledge. 

12^The  righteous  man  considereth  the  house  of  the  wicked; 
How  the  wicked  are  overthrown  to  their  ruin. 

13  Whoso  stoppeth  his  ears  at  the  cry  of  the  poor^ 
He  also  shall  cry,  but  shall  not  be  heard. 

14  A  gift  in  secret  '"pacifieth  anger. 
And  a  present  in  the  bosom  strong  wrath. 

15  It  is  joy  to  the  righteous  to  do  judgement; 
"But  it  is  a  destruction  to  the  workers  of  iniquity. 

16  The  man  that  wandereth  out  of  the  way  of  understanding 
Shall  rest  in  the  congregation  of  'Hhe  dead. 

17 He  that  loveth  pleasure  shall  be  a  poor  man: 
He  that  loveth  wine  and  oil  shall  not  be  rich. 

18Tiie  wicked  is  a  ransom  for  the  righteous; 

And  the  treacherous  cometh  in  the  stead  of  the  upright, 

19  It  is  better  to  dwell  in  a  desert  land. 

Than  with  '^a  contentious  and  fretful  woman. 

20  There  is  precious  treasure  and  oil  in  the   dwelling  of 

the  wise; 
But  a  foolish  man  swalloweth  it  up. 

21  He  that  followeth  after  righteousness  and  mercy 
Findeth  life,  righteousness,  and  honour.

riches,  and  ||  loving  favour  rather  than  silver  and  gold.

when  he  is  old,  he  will  not  depart  from  it. 

7  'The  rich  ruleth  over  the  poor,  and  the  borrower  is 
servant  fto  the  lender. 

8  *He  that  soweth  iniquity  shall  reap  vanity:  ||and

9  'fHe  that  hath  a  bountiful  eye  shall  be  blessed ;  for 
he  giveth  of  his  bread  to  the  poor. 

10  ""Cast  out  the  scorner,  and  contention  shall  go  out ; 
yea,  strife  and  reproach  shall  cease. 

11  "He  that  loveth  pureness  of  heart,  ||/or  the  grace 
of  his  lips  the  king  shall  be  his  friend. 

1 2  The  eyes  of  the  Lord  preserve  knowledge ;  and 
he  overthroweth  ||the  words  of  the  transgressor. 

13  "The  slothful  man  saith,  There  is  a  lion  without,  I 
shall  be  slain  in  the  streets. 

14  "The  mouth  of  strange  women  is  a  deep  pit:  'he 
that  is  abhorred  of  the  Lord  shall  fall  therein. 

15  Foolishness  is  bound  in  the  heart  of  a  child;  but

13  The  sluggard  saith.  There  is  a  lion  without: 
I  shall  be  '^murdered  in  the  streets. 

14  The  mouth  of  strange  women  is  a  deep  pit :

15  Foolishness  is  bound  up  in  the  heart  of  a  child ; 

But  the  rod  of  correction  shall  drive  it  far  from  him. 

16  He  that  oppresseth  the  poor  to  increase  his  gain, 
And  he  that  giveth  to  the  rich,  cometh  only  to  want. 

17  Incline  thine  ear,  and  hear  the  words  of  the  wise. 
And  apply  thine  heart  unto  my  knowledge. 

18  For  it  is  a  plea.sant  thing  if  thou  keep  them  within  thee. 
If  they  be  established  together  upon  thy  lips. 

19  That  thy  trust  may  be  in  the  Lord, 

I  have  made  them  known  to  thee  this  day,  even  to  thee. 

20  Have  not  I  written  unto  thee  "excellent  things 
"Of  counsels  and  knowledge ; 

21  To  make  thee  know  "the  certainty  of  the  words  of  truth. 
That  thou  mayest  carry  back  words  of  truth  to  them  that

22  Rob  not  the  poor,  ''because  he  is  poor, 
Neither  "oppress  the  afflicted  in  the  gate :

CHAPTER  XXIII, 

Sundry  observations  of  moral  virtues,  and  their  contrary  vices. 

WHEN  thou  sittest  to   eat   with  a  ruler,   consider 
diligently  what  is  before  thee : 

2  And  put  a  knife  to  thy  throat,  if  thou  be  a  man 
given  to  appetite. 

3  Be  not  desirous  of  his  dainties :  for  they  are  deceit- 
ful meat. 

4  "Labour  not  to  be  rich:  'cease  from  thine  own  wis- 
dom. 

5  fWilt  thou  set  thine  eyes  upon  that  which  is  not  ? 
for  riches  certainly  make  themselves  wings;  they  fly 
away  as  an  eagle  toward  heaven. 

6  ''Eat  thou  not  the  bread  of  him  that  hath  ^an  evil  eye, 
neither  desire  thou  his  dainty  meats: 

7  For  as  he  thinketh  in  his  heart,  so  is  he :  Eat  and 
drink,  'saith  he  to  thee ;  but  his  heart  is  not  with  thee. 

8  The  morsel  which  thou  hast  eaten  shalt  thou  vomit 
up,  and  lose  thy  sweet  words. 

9  ^Sijeak  not  in  the  ears  of  a  fool :  for  he  will  despise 
the  wisdom  of  thy  words. 

10  "Remove  not  the  old  ||  landmark;  and  enter  not 
into  the  fields  of  the  fatherless : 

11  *For  their  Redeemer  is  mighty;  he  shall  plead 
their  cause  with  thee. 

12  Apply  thine  heart  unto  instruction,  and  thine  ears 
to  the  words  of  knowledge. 

13  'Withhold  not  correction  from  the  child:  for  if 
thou  beatest  him  with  the  rod,  he  shall  not  die. 

14  Thou  shalt  beat  him  with  the  rod,  and  *shalt  de- 
liver his  soul  from  hell. 

15  My  son,  'if  thine  heart  be  wise,  my  heart  shall  re- 
joice, II  even  mine. 

16  Yea,  my  reins  thall  rejoice,  when  thy  lips  speak 
right  things. 

17  "Let  not  thine  heart  envy  sinners;  but  "be  thou  in 
the  fear  of  the  Lord  all  the  day  long. 

18  "For  surely  there  is  an  jjend;  and  thine  expecta- 
tion shall  not  be  cut  oflp. 

19  Hear  thou,  my  son,  and  be  wise,  and  "guide  thine 
heart  in  the  way. 

20  'Be  not  among  winebibbers ;  among  riotous  eaters 
fof  flesh  : 

21  For  the  drunkard  and  the  glutton  shall  come  to 
poverty :  and  ""drowsiness  shall  clothe  a  man  with  rags. 

22  'Hearken  unto  thy  father  that  begat  thee,  and  de- 
spise not  thy  mother  when  she  is  old. 

23  'Buy  the  truth,  and  sell  it  not;  also  wisdom,  and 
instruction,  and  understanding. 

24  "The  father  of  the  righteous  shall  greatly  rejoice : 
and  he  that  begetteth  a  wise  child  shall  have  joy  of 
him. 

25  Thy  father  and  thy  mother  shall  be  glad,  and  she 
that  bare  thee  shall  rejoice. 

26  My  son,  give  me  thine  heart,  and  let  thine  eyes 
observe  my  ways. 


24 Make  no  friendship  with  a  man  that  is  given  to  anger; 
And  with  a  wrathful  man  thou  shalt  not  go: 

25  Lest  thou  learn  his  ways. 
And  get  a  snare  to  thy  soul. 

26  Be  thou  not  one  of  them  that  strike  hands, 
Or  of  them  that  are  sureties  for  debts : 

27  If  thou  hast  not  wherewith  to  pay, 

Why  should  he  take  away  thy  bed  from  under  thee  ? 

28  Remove  not  the  ancient  landmark. 
Which  thy  fathers  have  set. 

29  Seest  thou  a  man  'diligent  in  his  business  ?  he  shall  stand 

before  kings; 
He  shall  not  stand  before  ^mean  men. 

'^•U  When  thou  sittest  to  eat  with  a  ruler. 
Consider  diligently  'him  that  is  before  thee ; 

2  ■'And  put  a  knife  to  thy  throat, 
If  thou  be  a  man  given  to  appetite. 

3  Be  not  desirous  of  his  dainties ; 
Seeing  they  are  deceitful  meat. 

4  Weary  not  thyself  to  be  rich ; 
Cease  'from  thine  own  wisdom. 

S^Wilt  thou  set  thine  eyes  upon  that  which  is  not? 
For  riches  certainly  make  themselves  wings, 
Like  an  eagle  that  flieth  toward  heaven. 

6  Eat  thou  not  the  bread  of  him  that  hath  an  evil  eye, 
Neither  desire  thou  his  dainties : 

7  For  'as  he  reckoneth  within  himself,  so  is  he: 
Eat  and  drink,  saith  he  to  thee ; 
But  his  heart  is  not  with  thee. 

8  The  morsel  which  thou  hast  eaten  shalt  thou  vomit  up, 
And  lose  thy  sweet  words. 

9  Speak  not  in  the  hearing  of  a  fool ; 
For  he  will  despise  the  wisdom  of  thy  words. 

lO^Remove  not  the  ancient  landmark; 

And  enter  not  into  the  fields  of  the  fatherless : 

11  For  their  redeemer  is  strong; 
He  shall  plead  their  cause  against  thee. 

12  Apply  thine  heart  unto  'instruction. 

And  thine  ears  to  the  words  of  knowledge. 

13  Withhold  not  correction  from  the  child  : 

For  '"if  thou  beat  him  with  the  rod,  he  shall  not  die. 

14  Thou  shalt  beat  him  with  the  rod. 
And  shalt  deliver  his  soul  from  "She'oL 

15  My  son,  if  thine  heart  be  wise.

16  Yea,  my  reins  shall  rejoice. 
When  thy  lips  speak  right  things. 

17  Let  not  thine  heart  envy  sinners: 

But  be  thou  in  the  fear  of  the  Lobd  all  the  day  long: 

18  For  surely  there  is  a  '^reward; 
And  thy  hope  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

19  Hear  thou,  my  son,  and  be  wise. 
And  guide  thine  heart  in  the  way. 

20  Be  not  among  winebibbers ; 
Among  gluttonous  eaters  of  flesh : 

21  For  the  drunkard  and  the  glutton  shall  come  to  poverty ;

BE    not    thou    "envious   against  evil   men,  *neither 
desire  to  be  with  them : 

2  ''For  their  heart  studieth  destruction,  and  their  lips

7  ■''Wisdom  is  too  high  for  a  fool :  he  openeth  not  his 
mouth  in  the  gate. 

8  He  that  'deviseth  to  do  evil  shall  be  called  a  mis- 
chievous person. 

9  The  thought  of  foolishness  is  sin :  and  the  scorner 
is  an  abomination  to  men. 

10  If  thou  faint  in  the  day  of  adversity,  thy  strength 
is  fsmall.

14  "So  shall  the  knowledge  of  wisdom  be  unto  thy 
soul :  when  thou  hast  found  it,  "then  there  shall  be  a 
reward,  and  thy  expectation  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

15  "Lay  not  wait,  O  wicked  man,  against  the  dwell-

work  ? 
13 My  son,  eat  thou  honey,  for  it  is  good; 

And  the  honeycomb,  which  is  sweet  to  thy  taste : 
14 So  shalt  thou  know  wisdom  to  be  unto  thy  soul: 

If  thou  hast  found  it,  then  shall  there  be  a  '^reward.

21  My  son,  "^ear  thou  the  Lord  and  the  king:  and 
meddle  not  with  fthem  that  are  given  to  change: 

22  For  their  calamity  shall  rise  suddenly;  and  who 
knoweth  the  ruin  of  them  both? 

23  These  things  also  belong  to  the  wise.  "It  is  not 
good  to  have  respect  of  persons  in  judgment. 

24  'He  that  saith  unto  the  wicked,  Thou  art  right- 
eous; him  shall  the  people  curse,  nations  shall  abhor 
him : 

25  But  to  them  that  rebuke  him  shall  be  delight,  and 
fa  good  blessing  shall  come  upon  them. 

26  Every  man  shall  kiss  his  lips  fthat  giveth  a  right 
answer. 

27  "Prepare  thy  work  without,  and  make  it  fit  for 
thyself  in  the  field ;  and  afterwards  build  thine  house. 

28  'Be  not  a  witness  against  thy  neighbour  without 
cause;  and  deceive  not  with  thy  lips. 

29  ''Say  not,  I  will  do  so  to  him  as  he  hath  done  to 
me :  I  will  render  to  the  man  according  to  his  work. 

30  I  went  by  the  field  of  the  slothful,  and  by  the 
vineyard  of  the  man  void  of  understanding ; 

31  And,  lo,  •'it  was  all  grown  over  with  thorns,  and 
nettles  had  covered  the  face  thereof,  and  the  stone  wall 
thereof  was  broken  down. 

32  Then  I  saw,  and  fconsidered  it  well:  I  looked 
upon  it,  and  received  instruction. 

33  '  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little  slumber,  and  a  little  folding 
of  the  hands  to  sleep : 

34  So  shall  thy  poverty  come  as  one  that  travelleth ; 
and  thy  want  as  fan  armed  man. 

CHAPTER  XXV. 

observations  about  the  kingSt  and  about  avoiding  quarrels. 

THESE  "are  also  proverbs  of  Sol'o-mon,  which  the 
men  of  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  copied  out. 

2  ^It  is  the  glory  of  God  to  conceal  a  thing :  but  the 
honour  of  kings  is  "to  search  out  a  matter. 

3  The  heaven  for  height,  and  the  earth  for  depth,  and 
the  heart  of  kings  fis  unsearchable. 

4  ''Take  away  the  dross  from  the  silver,  and  there 
shall  come  forth  a  vessel  for  the  finer. 

5  'Take  away  the  wicked  jrom  before  the  king,  and 
■''his  throne  shall  be  established  in  righteousness. 

6  fPut  not  forth  thyself  in  the  presence  of  the  king, 
and  stand  not  in  the  place  of  great  men  : 

7  "For  better  it  is  that  it  be  said  unto  thee.  Come  up 
hither ;  than  that  thou  shouldest  be  put  lower  in  the 
presence  of  the  prince  whom  thine  eyes  have  seen. 

8  ''Go  not  forth  hastily  to  strive,  lest  thou  know  not

hath  put  thee  to  shame. 

9  'Debate  thy  cause  with  thy  neighbour  hdmself;. &nd 
II discover  not  a  secret  to  another: 

10  Lest  he  that  heareth  it  put  thee  to  shame,  and 
thine  infamy  turn  not  away. 

11  *A  word  ffitly  spoken  is  like  apples  of  gold  in 
pictures  of  silver. 

12  .As  an  earring  of  gold,  and  an  ornament  of  fine 
gold,  so  is  a  wise  reprover  upon  an  obedient  ear. 

13  'As  the  cold  of  snow  in  the  time  of  harvest,  so  is 
a  faithful  messenger  to  them  that  send  him :  for  he  re- 
fresheth  the  soul  of  his  masters. 

14  "Whoso  boasteth  himself  fof  a  false  gift  is  like 
"clouds  and  wind  without  rain. 

15  "By  long  forbearing  is  a  prince  persuaded,  and  a

16  ^Hast  thou  found  honey?  eat  so  much  as  is  suf- 
ficient for  thee,  lest  thou  be  filled  therewith,  and

21  My  son,  fear  thou  the  Lord  and  the  king: 

And  meddle  not  with  them  that  are  given  to  change: 

22  For  their  calamity  shall  rise  suddenly ; 

And  who  knoweth  the  destruction  'of  them  both  ? 

23  These  also  are  sayings  of  the  wise. 

To  have  respect  of  persons  in  judgement  is  not  good. 

24  He  that  saith  unto  the  wicked,  Thou  art  righteous ; 
Peoples  shall  curse  him,  nations  shall  abhor  him: 

25  But  to  them  that  rebuke  him  shall  be  delight, 
And  a  good  blessing  shall  come  upon  them. 

26  He  ^isseth  the  lips 

That  giveth  a  right  answer. 

27  Prepare  thy  work  without, 

And  make  it  ready  for  thee  in  the  field ; 
And  afterwards  build  thine  house. 

28  Be  not  a  witness  against  thy  neighbour  without  cause ; 
'And  deceive  not  with  thy  lips. 

29  Say  not,  I  will  do  so  to  him  as  he  hath  done  to  me ; 
I  will  render  to  the  man  according  to  his  work. 

301  went  by  the  field  of  the  slothful.

The  face  thereof  was  covered  with  ^nettles,

32  Then  I  beheld,  and  considered  well :

33^  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little  slumber,

19  Confidence  in  an  unfaithful  man  in  time  of  trouble 
is  like  a  broken  tooth,  and  a  foot  out  of  joint.

CHAPTER    XXVI. 

Observations  about  fools,  sluggards^  and  busybodies, 

AS  snow   in   summer,  "and  as   rain    in   harvest,  so 
honour  is  not  seemly  for  a  fool. 

2  As  the  bird  by  wandering,  as  the  swallow  by  flying, 
so  'the  curse  causeless  shall  not  come. 

3  "A  whip  for  the  horse,  a  bridle  for  the  ass,  and  a 
rod  for  the  fool's  back. 

4  Answer  not  a  fool  according  to  his  folly,  lest  thou 
also  be  like  unto  him. 

5  ''Answer  a  fool  according  to  his  folly,  lest  he  be 
wise  in  fhis  own  conceit. 

6  He  that  sendeth  a  message  by  the  hand  of  a  fool 
cutteth  off  the  feet,  and  drinketh  ||  damage. 

7  The  legs  of  the  lame  fare  not  equal :  so  m  a  par- 
able in  the  mouth  of  fools. 

8  II  As  he  that  bindeth  a  stone  in  a  sling,  so  is  he  that 
giveth  honour  to  a  fool. 

9  ^s  a  thorn  goeth  up  into  the  hand  of  a  drunkard, 
so  is  a  parable  in  the  mouth  of  fools. 

10  II  The  great  God  that  formed  all  things  both  re- 
wardeth  the  fool,  and  rewardeth  transgressors. 

11  "As  a  dog  returneth  to  his  vomit, -^so  a  fool  fre- 
turneth  to  his  folly. 

12  'Seest  thou  a  man  wise  in  his  own  conceit?  there 
is  more  hope  of  a  fool  than  of  him. 

13  *The  slothful  man  saith.  There  is  a  lion  in  the  way ; 
a  lion  is  in  the  streets. 

14  As  the  door  turneth  upon  his  hinges,  so  doth  the 
slothful  upon  his  bed. 

15  'The  slothful  hideth  his  hand  in  his  bosom;  ||it 
grieveth  him  to  bring  it  again  to  his  mouth. 

16  The  sluggard  is  wiser  in  his  own  conceit  than 
seven  men  that  can  render  a  reason. 

17  He  that  passeth  by,  and  Ijmeddleth  with  strife 
belonging  not  to  him,  is  like  one  that  taketh  a  dog  by 
the  ears. 

18  As  a  mad  man  who  casteth  ffirebrands,  arrows, 
and  death, 

19  So  is  the  man  that  deceiveth  his  neighbour,  and 
saith,  *Am  not  I  in  sport? 

20  fWhere  no  wooci  is,  there  the  fire  goeth  out:  so 
'where  there  is  no  ||  talebearer,  the  strife  fceaseth. 


17 Let  thy  foot  be  seldom  in  thy  neighbour's  house; 
Lest  he  be  'weary  of  thee,  and  hate  thee. 

18  A  man  that  beareth  false  witness  against  his  neighbour 
Is  a  maul,  and  a  sword,  and  a  sharp  arrow. 

19  Confidence  in  an  unfaithful  man  in  time  of  trouble 
Is  like  a  broken  tooth,  and  a  foot  out  of  joint. 

20  As  one  that  taketh  off  a  garment  in  cold  weather,  and  a( 

vinegar  upon  ^nitre. 
So  is  he  that  singeth  songs  to  an  heavy  heart. 

21  If 'thine  enemy  be  hungry,  give  him  bread  to  eat; 
And  if  he  be  thirsty,  give  him  water  to  drink : 

22  For  thou  shalt  heap  coals  of  fire  upon  his  head, 
And  the  Lord  shall  reward  thee. 

23 The  north  wind  bringeth  forth  rain: 

So  doth  a  backbiting  tongue  an  angry  countenance. 

24  *It  is  better  to  dwell  in  the  corner  of  the  housetop, 
Than  with  a  contentious  woman  in  a  wide  house. 

25  As  cold  waters  to  a  'thirsty  soul, 

So  is  good  news  from  a  far  country. 

26  As  a  'troubled  fountain,  and  a  corrupted  spring. 

So  is  a  righteous  man  that  'giveth  way  before  the  wicked. 

27  It  is  not  good  to  eat  much  honey : 

*So  for  men  to  search  out  their  own  glory  is  not  glory. 
28 'He  whose  spirit  is  without  restraint 

Is  like  a  city  that  is  broken  down  aad  hath  no  wall. 

'^O  As  snow,  in  summer,  and  as  rain  in  harvest, 
So  honour  is  not  seemly  for  a  fool. 

2  As  the  sparrow  in  her  wandering,  as  the  swallow  in  her 

flying, 
So  the  curse  that  is  causeless  '"lighteth  not. 

3  A  whip  for  the  horse,  a  bridle  for  the  ass, 
And  a  rod  for  the  back  of  fools. 

4  Answer  not  a  fool  according  to  his  folly, 
Lest  thou  also  be  like  unto  him. 

5  Answer  a  fool  according  to  his  folly, 
Lest  he  be  wise  in  "his  own  conceit. 

6  He  that  sendeth  a  message  by  the  hand  of  a  fool 
Cutteth  off  his  own  feet,  and  drinketh  in  damage. 

7  The  legs  of  the  lame  hang  loose : 
So  is  a  parable  in  the  mouth  of  fools. 

8  '^As  a  bag  of  gems  in  a  heap  of  stones, 
So  is  he  that  giveth  honour  to  a  fool. 

9  As  a  thorn  that  goeth  up  into  the  hand  of  a  drunkard, 
So  is  a  parable  in  the  mouth  of  fools. 

10  ''As  an  archer  that  woundeth  all. 
So  is  he  that  hireth  the  fool  and  he  that  hireth  them  that 

pass  by. 

11  As  a  dog  that  returneth  to  his  vomit. 
So  is  a  fool  that  repeateth  his  folly. 

12  Seest  thou  a  man  wise  in  "his  own  conceit? 
There  is  more  hope  of  a  fool  than  of  him. 

13'^The  sluggard  saith.  There  is  a  lion  in  the  way; 

A  lion  is  in  the  streets. 
14  As  the  door  turneth  upon  its  hinges. 

So  doth  the  sluggard  upon  his  bed. 
15 "The  sluggard  burieth  his  hand  in  the  dish; 

It  wearieth  him  to  bring  it  again  to  his  mouth. 

16  The  sluggard  is  wiser  in  "his  own  conceit 
Than  seven  men  that  can  '^render  a  reason. 

17  "He  that  passeth  by,  and  vexeth  himself  with  strife  be 

longing  not  to  him. 
Is  like  one  that  taketh  a  dog  by  the  ears. 

18  As  a  madman  who  casteth  firebrands. 
Arrows,  and  death ; 

19  So  is  the  man  that  deceiveth  his  neighbour. 
And  saith.  Am  not  I  in  sport? 

20  For  lack  of  wood  the  fire  goeth  out : 

And  where  there  is  no  whisperer,  contention  ceaseth.

21  ^As  coals  are  to  burning  coals,  and  wood  to  fire ; 
so  is  a  contentious  man  to  kindle  strife. 

22  "The  words  of  a  talebearer  are  as  wounds,  and 
they  go  down  into  the  finnermost  parts  of  the  belly. 

23  Burning  lips  and  a  wicked  heart  are  like  a  pot- 
sherd covered  with  silver  dross. 

24  He  that  hateth,  [1  dissembleth  with  his  lips,  and 
layeth  up  deceit  within  him ; 

25  "When  he  fspeaketh  fair,  believe  him  not:  for

CHAPTER    XXVII. 

Observations  of  self-love,  and  of  care  to  avoid  offences, 

BOAST  "not  thyself  of  fto-morrow ;  for  thou  know- 
est  not  what  a  day  may  bring  forth. 

2  'Let  another  man  praise  thee,  and  not  thine  own 
mouth;  a  stranger,  and  not  thine  own  lips. 

3  A  stone  i*  fheavy,  and  the  sand  weighty;  but  a 
fool's  wrath  is  heavier  than  them  both. 

4  fW'^th  is  cruel,  and  anger  is  outrageous;  but  "who 
is  able  to  stand  before  ||envy? 

5  ''Open  rebuke  is  better  than  secret  love. 

6  'Faithful  are  the  wounds  of  a  friend;  but  the  kisses 
of  an  enemy  are  ||  deceitful. 

7  The  full  soul  floatheth  a  honeycomb;  but  ^to 
the  hungry  soul  every  bitter  thing  is  sweet. 

8  As  a  bird  that  wandereth  from  her  nest,  so  ia  a  man 
that  wandereth  from  his  place. 

9  Ointment  and  perfume  rejoice  the  heart :  so  doth 
the  sweetness  of  a  man's  friend  fby  hearty  counsel. 

10  Thine  own  friend,  and  thy  father's  friend,  forsake 
not :  neither  go  into  thy  brother's  house  in  the  day  of 
thy  calamity :  /or  'better  is  a  neighbour  thai  is  near 
than  a  brother  far  off. 

11  ""My  son,  be  wise,  and  make  my  heart  glad,  that 
I  may  answer  him  that  reproacheth  me. 

12  *A  prudent  man  foreseeth  the  evil,  and  hideth  him- 
self; hut  the  simple  pass  on,  and  are  punished. 

13  'Take  his  garment  that  is  surety  for  a  stranger, 
and  take  a  pledge  of  him  for  a  strange  woman. 

14  He  that  blesseth  his  friend  with  a  loud  voice,  ris- 
ing early  in  the  morning,  it  shall  be  counted  a  curse 
to  him. 

15  "A  continual  dropping  in  a  very  rainy  day  and  a 
contentious  woman  are  alike. 

16  Whosoever  hideth  her,  hideth  the  wind,  and  the 
ointment  of  his  right  hand,  which  bewrayeth  itself. 

17  Iron  sharpeneth  iron;  so  a  man  sharpeneth  the 
^ountenance  of  his  friend. 

.l8  "Whoso  keepeth  the  fig  tree  shall  eat  the  fruit 
thereof:  so  he  that  waiteth  on  his  master  shall  be 
honoured. 

19  As  in  water  face  answer eth  to  face,  so  the  heart  of 
man  to  man. 

20  "Hell  and  destruction  are  fnever  full:  so  ''the  eyes 
of  man  are  never  satisfied. 

21  "As  the  fining  pot-for  silver,  and  the  furnace  for 
gold  ;  so  is  a  man  to  his  praise. 

22  'Though  thou  shouldest  bray  a  fool  in  a  mortar 
among  wheat  with  a  pestle,  yet  will  not  his  foolishness 
depart  from  him. 

23  Be  thou  diligent  to  know  the  state  of  thy  flocks, 
and  flook  well  to  thy  herds: 


21  As  coals  are  to  hot  embers,  and  wood  to  fire ; 
So  is  a  contentious  man  to  inflame  strife. 

22  'The  words  of  a  whisperer  are  as  dainty  morsels. 

And  they  go  down  into  the  innermost  parts  of  the  belly. 

23  Fervent  lips  and  a  wicked  heart 

Are  like  an  earthen  vessel  overlaid  with  silver  dross. 

24  He  that  hateth  dissembleth  with  his  lips, 
But  he  layeth  up  deceit  within  him : 

25  When  he  speaketh  fair,  believe  him  not ; 

For  there  are  seven  abominations  in  his  heart: 

26  Though  his  hatred  cover  itself  with  guile. 

His  wickedness  shall  be  openly  shewed  before  the  con- 
gregation. 

27  Whoso  diggeth  a  pit  shall  fall  therein: 

And  he  that  rolleth  a  stone,  it  shall  return  upon  him. 

28  A  lying  tongue  hateth  those  whom  it  hath  bounded; 
And  a  flattering  mouth  worketh  ruin. 

^  *  Boast  not  thyself  of  to-morrow ; 

For  thou  knowest  not  what  a  day  may  bring  forth. 

2  Let  another  man  praise  thee,  and  not  thine  own  jrouth; 
A  stranger,  and  not  thine  own  lips. 

3  A  stone  is  heavy,  and  the  sand  weighty ; 

But  a  fool's  vexation  is  heavier  than  them  both. 
4 Wrath  is  cruel,  and  anger  is  'outrageous; 
But  who  is  able  to  stand  before  jealousy  ? 

5  Better  is  open  rebuke 
Than  love  that  is  hidden. 

6  Faithful  are  the  wounds  of  a  friend ; 
But  the  kisses  of  an  enemy  are  profuse. 

7 The  full  soul  ^loatheth  an  honeycomb: 
But  to  the  hungry  soul  every  bitter  thing  is  sweet. 

8  As  a  bird  that  wandereth  from  her  nest, 
So  is  a  man  that  wandereth  from  his  place. 

9  Ointment  and  perfume  rejoice  the  heart : 

So  doth  the  sweetness  of  a  man's  friend  that  cometh  of 
hearty  counsel. 
10 Thine  own  friend,  and  thy  father's  friend,  forsake  not; 

And  go  not  to  thy  brother's  house  in  the  day  of  thy 
calamity : 

Better  is  a  neighbour  that  is  near  than  a  brother  far  off. 
1 1  My  son  be  wise,  and  make  my  heart  glad. 

That  I  may  answer  him  that  reproacheth  me. 
12 'A  prudent  man  seeth  the  evil,  and  hideth  himself: 

Btii  the  simple  pass  on,  and  suffer  for  it. 
13 "Take  his  garment  that  is  surety  for  a  stranger; 

And  hold  him  in  pledge  that  is  surety  for  a  strange  woman. 

14  He  that  blesseth  his  friend  with  a  loud  voice,  rising  early 

in  the  morning, 
It  shall  be  counted  a  curse  to  him. 

15  A  continual  dropping  in  a  very  rainy  day 
And  a  contentious  woman  are  alike : 

16  He  that  would  'restrain  her  'restraineth  the  wind, 
And  'his  right  hand  encountereth  oil. 

17  Iron  sharpeneth  iron  ; 

So  a  man  sharpeneth  the  countenance  of  his  friend. 

18  Whoso  keepeth  the  fig  tree  shall  eat  the  fruit  thereof; 
And  he  that  waiteth  on  his  master  shall  be  honoured. 

19  '"As  in  water  face  answereth  to  face. 
So  the  heart  of  man  to  man. 

20"She'ol  and  A-bad'don  are  never  satisfied; 
And  the  eyes  of  man  are  never  satisfied. 

21  The  fining  pot  is  for  silver,  and  the  furnace  for  gold. 
And  a  man  is  tried  by  '^his  praise. 

22  Though  thou  shouldest  bray  a  fool  in  a  mortar  with  a 

pestle  among  bruised  corn, 
Yet  will  not  his  foolishness  depart  from  him. 

23  Be  thou  diligent  to  know  the  state  of  thy  flocks, 
And  look  well  to  thy  herds :

CHAPTER  XXVIII. 

General  observations  of  impiety,  and  religious  integrity. 

THE  "wicked  flee  when  no  man  pursueth:  but  the 
righteous  are  bold  as  a  lion. 

2  For  the  transgression  of  a  land  many  are  the  princes 
thereof:  but  ||  by  a  man  of  understanding  and  knowl- 
edge the  state  ^Aereq/"  shall  be  prolonged. 

3  ''A  poor  man  that  oppresseth  the  poor  is  like  a 
sweeping  rain  fwhich  leaveth  no  food. 

4  "They  that  forsake  the  law  praise  the  wicked :  ''but 
such  as  keep  the  law  contend  with  them. 

5  "Evil  men  understand  not  judgment:  but  -they 
that  seek  the  Lord  understand  all  things. 

6  'Better  is  the  poor  that  walketh  in  his  uprightness, 
than  he  that  is  perverse  in  his  ways,  though  he  be  rich. 

7  *Whoso  keepeth  the  law  is  a  wise  son :  but  he  that 
is  a  companion  of  riotous  men  shameth  his  father. 

8  'He  that  by  usury  and  funjust  gain  increaseth  his 
substance,  he  shall  gather  it  for  him  that  will  pity  the 
poor. 

9  *He  that  turneth  away  his  ear  from  hearing  the 
law,  'even  his  prayer  shall  be  abomination. 

10  "Whoso  causeth  the  righteous  to  go  astray  in  an 
evil  way,  he  shall  fall  himself  into  his  own  pit:  "but 
the  upright  shall  have  good  things  in  possession. 

11  The  rich  man  is  wise  fin  his  own  conceit;  but 
the  poor  that  hath  understanding  searcheth  him  out. 

12  "When  righteous  men  do  rejoice,  there  is  great 
glory:  but  when  the  wicked  rise,  a  man  is  || hidden. 

13  "He  that  covereth  his  sins  shall  not  prosper :  but 
whoso  confesseth  and  forsaketh  them  shall  have 
mercy. 

14  Happy  is  the  man  'that  feareth  always :  but  "^he 
that  hardeneth  his  heart  shall  fall  into  mischief. 

15  'As  a  roaring  lion,  and  a  ranging  bear;  'so  is  a 
wicked  ruler  over  the  poor  people. 

16  The  prince  that  wanteth  understanding  is  also  a 
great  oppressor :  bui  he  that  hateth  covetousness  shall 
prolong  his  days. 

17  "A  man  that  doeth  violence  to  the  blood  of  any 
person  shall  flee  to  the  pit ;  let  no  man  stay  him. 

18  *  Whoso  walketh  uprightly  shall  be  saved:  hut  "he 
that  is  perverse  in  his  ways  shall  fall  at  once. 

19  'He  that  tilleth  his  land  shall  have  plenty  of 
bread :  but  he  that  followeth  after  vain  persons  shall 
have  poverty  enough. 

20  A  faithful  man  shall  abound  with  blessings:  "but 
he  that  maketh  haste  to  be  rich  shall  not  be  ||  in- 
nocent. 

21  ''To  have  respect  of  persons  is  not  good :  for,  "for  a 
piece  of  bread  that  man  will  transgress. 

22  ||''He  that  hast«th  to  be  rich  hath  an  evil  eye,  and 
considereth  not  that  poverty  shall  come  upon  him. 

23  'He  that  rebuketh  a  man,  afterwards  shall  find 
more  favour  than  he  that  flattereth  with  the  tongue. 

24  Whoso  robbeth  his  father  or  his  mother,  and 
saith.  It  is  no  transgression ;  the  same  ^ia  the  compan- 
ion of  fa  destroyer. 

25  'He  that  is  of  a  proud  heart  stirreth  up  strife  :  ''but 
he  that  putteth  his  trust  in  the  Lord  shall  be  made  fat. 


24  For  riches  are  not  for  ever ; 

And  doth  the  crown  endure  unto  all  generations  ? 

25  The  'hay  is  carried,  and  the  tender  grass  sheweth  itself. 
And  the  herbs  of  the  mountains  are  gathered  in. 

26  The  lambs  are  for  thy  clothing. 

And  the  goats  are  the  price  of  the  field : 

27  And  there  will  be  goats'  milk  enough  for  thy  food,  for

9  He  that  turneth  away  his  ear  from  hearing  the  law, 
Even  his  prayer  is  an  abomination. 

10  Whoso  causeth  the  upright  to  go  astray  in  an  evil  way, 
He  shall  fall  himself  into  his  own  pit :

'^Neither  that  a  man  should  transgress  for  a  piece  of  bread. 

22  He  that  hath  an  evil  eye  hasteth  after  riches. 
And  knoweth  not  that  want  shall  come  upon  him. 

23  He  that  rebuketh  a  man  shall  afterward  find  more  favour 
Than  he  that  flattereth  with  the  tongue. 

24  Whoso  robbeth  his  father  or  his  mother,  and  saith.  It  is 

no  transgression ; 
The  same  is  the  companion  of  a  destroyer. 

25  He  that  is  of  a  greedy  spirit  stirreth  up  strife  : 

But  he  that  putteth  his  trust  in  the  Lord  shall  be  made  &t.

CHAPTER  XXX. 

Amur's  confession  of  faith^The  two  points  of  his  prayer. 

THE  words  of  A'gu  r  the  son  of  Ja'keh,  ewn''the  prophecy: 
the  man  spake  unto  I  th'i-el, even  unto  Ith'i-elandU'cal, 
2  ''Surely  I  am  more  brutish  than  an?/  man,  and  have 
not  the  understanding  of  a  man. 


26  He  that  trusteth  in  his  own  heart  is  a  fool : 

But  whoso  walketh  wisely,  he  shall  be  delivered. 

27  He  that  giveth  unto  the  poor  shall  not  lack : 

But  he  that  hideth  his  eyes  shall  have  many  a  curse. 

28  AVhen  the  wicked  rise,  men  hide  themselves : 
But  when  they  perish,  the  righteous  increase. 

^v  He  that  being  often  reproved  hardeneth  his  neck 
Shall  suddenly  be  broken,  and  that  without  remedy. 

2  When  the  righteous  'are  increased  the  people  rejoice : 
But  when  a  wicked  man  beareth  rule,  the  people  sigh. 

3  Whoso  loveth  wisdom  rejoiceth  his  father : 

But  he  that  keepeth  company  with  harlots  wasteth  his 
substance. 
4 The  king  by  judgement  establisheth  the  land: 
But  ^he  that  exacteth  gifts  overthroweth  it. 

5  A  man  that  flattereth  his  neighbour 
Spreadeth  a  net  for  his  steps. 

6  In  the  transgression  of  an  evil  man  there  is  a  snare : 
But  the  righteous  doth  sing  and  rejoice. 

7  The  righteous  taketh  knowledge  of  the  cause  of  the  poor : 
The  wicked  %ath  not  understanding  to  know  it. 

8  Scornful  men  set  a  city  in  a  flame : 
But  wise  men  turn  away  wrath. 

9  If  a  wise  man  hath  a  controversy  with  a  foolish  man, 
^Whether  he  be  angry  or  laugh,  there  will  be  no  rest, 

10 The  bloodthirsty  hate  him  that  is  perfect: 
"And  as  for  the  upright,  they  seek  his  life. 

11  A  fool  uttereth  all  his  ^anger : 

But  a  wise  man  keepeth  it  back  and  stilleth  it. 

1?  If  a  ruler  hearkeneth  to  falsehood. 
All  his  servants  are  wicked. 

13  The  poor  man  and  the  oppressor  meet  together : 
The  Loed  lighteneth  the  eyes  of  them  both. 

14  The  king  that  faithfully  judgeth  the  poor, 
His  throne  shall  be  established  for  ever. 

15 The  rod  and  reproof  give  wisdom: 

But  a  child  left  to  himself  causeth  shame  to  his  mother 
16  When  the  wicked  'are  increased,  transgression  increaseth : 

But  the  righteous  shall  look  upon  their  fall. 
17 Correct  thy  son,  and  he  shall  give  thee  rest; 

Yea,  he  shall  give  delight  unto  thy  soul. 

18  Where  there  is  no  vision,  the  people  cast  off  restraint : 
But  he  that  keepeth  the  law,  happy  is  he. 

19  A  servant  will  not  be  corrected  by  words: 

For  though  he  understand  he  will  not  ^give  heed. 

20  Seest  thou  a  man  that  is  hasty  in  his  'words  ? 
There  is  more  hope  of  a  fool  than  of  him. 

21  He  that  delicately  bringeth  up  his  servant  from  a  child 
Shall  have  him  become  'a  son  at  the  last. 

22  An  angry  man  stirreth  up  strife. 

And  a  wrathful  man  aboundeth  in  transgression. 

23  A  man's  pride  shall  bring  him  low : 

But  he  that  is  of  a  lowly  spirit  shall  obtain  honour. 

24  Whoso  is  partner  with  a  thief  hateth  his  own  soul : 
'"He  heareth  the  adjuration  and  uttereth  nothing. 

25  The  fear  of  man  bringeth  a  snare : 

But  whoso  putteth  his  trust  in  the  Lord  "shall  be  safe. 

26  Many  seek  the  ruler's  favour : 

But  a  man's  judgement  cometh  from  the  Lord. 

27  An  unjust  man  is  an  abomination  to  the  righteous: 
And  he  that  is  upright  in  the  way  is  an  abomination  to 

the  wicked.

4  "Who  hath  ascended  up  into  heaven,  or  descended  ? 
''who  hath  gathered  the  wind  in  his  fists?  who  hath 
bound  the  waters  in  a  garment?  who  hath  established 
all  the  ends  of  the  earth?  what  is  his  name,  and  what 
is  his  son's  name,  if  thou  canst  tell? 

5  'Every  word  of  God  is  fpure:  •'^he  is  a  shield  unto 
them  that  put  their  trust  in  him. 

6  "Add  thou  not  unto  his  words,  lest  he  reprove  thee, 
and  thou  be  found  a  liar. 

7  Two  things  have  I  required  of  thee ;  t<ieny  me  them 
not  before  I  die: 

8  Remove  far  from  me  vanity  and  lies ;  give  me  neither 
poverty  nor  riches;  *feed  me  with  food  fconvenient 
for  me: 

9  'Lest  I  be  full,  and  fdeny  thee,  and  say,  Who  is 
the  Lord?  or  lest  I  be  poor,  and  steal,  and  take  the 
name  of  my  God  in  vain. 

10  f  Accuse  not  a  servant  unto  his  master,  lest  he 
curse  thee,  and  thou  be  found  guilty. 

1 1  There  is  a  generation  that  curseth  their  father,  and 
doth  not  bless  their  mother. 

12  There  is  a  generation  Hhat  are  pure  in  their 
own  eyes,  and  yet  is  not  washed  from  their  filthi- 
ness. 

13  There  is  a  generation,  O  how  'lofty  are  their  eyes ! 
and  their  eyelids  are  lifted  up. 

14  '"There  is  a  generation,  whose  teeth  are  as 
swords,  and  their  jaw  teeth  as  knives,  "to  devour  the 
poor  from  off  the  earth,  and  the  needy  from  among 
men. 

15  The  horseleech  hath  two  daughters,  crying,  Give, 
give.  There  are  three  things  that  are  never  satisfied, 
yea,  four  things  say  not,  fit  is  enough: 

16  "The  grave;  and  the  barren  womb;  the  earth  that 
is  not  filled  with  water ;  and  the  fire  that  saith  not,  It  is 
enough. 

17  "The  eye  that  mocketh  at  his  father,  and  despiseth 
to  obey  his  mother,  the  ravens  of  ||  the  valley  shall  pick 
it  out,  and  the  young  eagles  shall  eat  it. 

18  There  be  three  things  which  are  too  wonderful  for 
me,  yea,  four  which  I  know  not: 

19  The  way  of  an  eagle  in  the  air;  the  way  of  a 
serpent  upon  a  rock;  the  way  of  a  ship  in  the 
f midst  of  the  sea;  and  the  way  of  a  man  with  a 
maid. 

20  Such  is  the  way  of  an  adulterous  woman;  she 
eateth,  and  wipeth  her  mouth,  and  saith,  I  have  done 
uo  wickedness. 

21  For  three  things  the  earth  is  disquieted,  and  for 
four  which  it  cannot  bear: 

22  "For  a  servant  when  he  reigneth ;  and  a  fool  when 
he  is  filled"  with  meat ; 

23  For  an  odious  woman  when  she  is  married;  and  a 
handmaid  that  is  heir  to  her  mistress. 

24  There  be  four  things  which  are  little  upon  the 
earth,  but  they  are  fexceeding  wise : 

25  'The  ants  are  a  people  not  strong,  yet  they  pre- 
pare their  meat  in  the  summer; 

26  'The  conies  are  but  a  feeble  folk,  yet  make  they 
their  houses  in  the  rocks; 

27  The  locusts  have  no  king,  yet  go  they  forth  all  of 
them  -fby  bands; 


3  And  I  have  not  learned  wisdom, 

'Neither  have  I  the  knowledge  of  the  Holy  One. 

4  Who  hath  ascended  up  into  heaven,  and  descended? 
Who  hath  gathered  the  wind  in  his  fists? 

Who  hath  bound  the  waters  in  his  garment? 
Who  hath  established  all  the  ends  of  the  earth  ? 
What  is  his  name,  and  what  is  his  son's  name,  if  thou 
knowest? 

5  ^Every  word  of  God  is  'tried : 

He  is  a  shield  unto  them  that  trust  in  him. 

6  Add  thou  not  unto  his  words. 

Lest  he  reprove  thee,  and  thou  be  found  a  liar. 

7  Two  things  have  I  asked  of  thee ; 
Deny  me  them  not  before  I  die : 

8  Remove  far  from  me  vanity  and  lies : 
Give  me  neither  poverty  nor  riches ; 

Feed  me  with  *the  food  that  is  needful  for  me : 

9  Lest  I  be  full,  and  deny  thee,  and  say.  Who  is  the  LOED  ? 
Or  lest  I  be  poor,  and  steal. 

And  'use  profanely  the  name  of  my  God. 

10  Slander  not  a  servant  unto  his  master, 
Lest  he  curse  thee,  and  thou  be  held  guilty. 

1 1  There  is  a  generation  that  curseth  their  father, 
And  doth  not  bless  their  mother. 

12  There  is  a  generation  that  are  pure  in  their  own  eyes, 
And  yet  are  not  washed  from  their  filthiness. 

13  There  is  a  generation.  Oh  how  lofty  are  their  eyes ! 
And  their  eyelids  are  lifted  up. 

14  There  is  a  generation  whose  teeth  are  a«  swords,  and 

their  jaw  teeth  as  knives, 
To  devour  the  poor  from  oft  the  earth,  and  the  needy 
from  among  men. 

15  The  'horseleach  hath  two  daughters,  ^crying,  Give,  give, 
There  are  three  things  that  are  never  satisfied, 

Yea,  four  that  say  not,  Enough : 

16  *The  grave ;  and  the  barren  womb ; 

The  earth  that  is  not  satisfied  with  water} 
And  the  fire  that  saith  not.  Enough. 

17  The  eye  that  mocketh  at  his  father, 
And  despiseth  to  obey  his  mother. 

The  ravens  of  'the  valley  shall  pick  it  out, 
And  the  '"young  eagles  shall  eat  it, 

18  There  be  three  things  which  are  too  wonderful  for  me, 
Yea,  four  which  I  know  not : 

1 9  The  way  of  an  eagle  in  the  air ; 
The  way  of  a  serpent  upon  a  rock ; 

The  way  of  a  ship  in  the  midst  of  the  sea; 
And  the  way  of  a  man  with  a  maid. 

20  So  is  the  way  of  an  adulterous  woman ; 
She  eateth,  and  wipeth  her  mouth. 
And  saith,  I  have  done  no  wickedness. 

21  "For  three  things  the  earth  doth  tremble. 
And  for  four,  which  it  cannot  bear : 

22 For  a  servant  when  he  is  king; 

And  a  fool  when  he  is  filled  with  meat; 
23 For  an  odious  woman  when  she  is  married; 

And  an  handmaid  that  is  heir  to  her  mistress. 

24  There  be  four  things  which  are  little  upon  the  earth, 
But  they  are  exceeding  wise: 

25  The  ants  are  a  people  not  strong. 

Yet  they  provide  their  meat  in  the  summer ; 

26  The  "'conies  are  but  a  feeble  folk. 
Yet  make  they  their  houses  in  the  rocks ; 

'27  The  locusts  have  no  king, 

Yet  go  they  forth  all  of  them  by  bands ;

29  ^There  be  three  things  which  go  well,  yea,  four  are 
comely  in  going: 

30  A  lion,  which  is  strongest  among  beasts,  and 
turneth  not  away  for  any; 

31  A  II tgreyhound;  a  he-goat  also;  and  a  king, 
against  whom  there  is  no  rising  up. 

32  If  thou  hast  done  foolishly  in  lifting  up  thyself,  or 
if  thou  hast  thought  evil,  'lay  thine  hand  upon  thy 
mouth. 

33  Surely  the  churning  of  milk  bringeth  forth  butter, 
and  the  wringing  of  the  nose  bringeth  forth  blood :  so 
the  forcing  of  wrath  bringeth  forth  strife.

THE  words  "of  the  Preacher,  the  son  of  Da'vid,  king  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  'Vanity  of  vanities,  saith  the  Preacher,  vanity  of  vani- 
ties ;  "all  is  vanity. 

3  ''What  profit  hath  a  man  of  all  his  labour  which  he 
taketh  under  the  sun  ? 

4  One  generation  passeth  away,  and  another  generation 
Cometh :  'but  the  earth  abideth  for  ever. 

5  ■'The  sun  also  ariseth,  and  the  sun  goeth  down,  and 
fhasteth  to  his  place  where  he  arose. 

6  "The  wind  goeth  toward  the  south,  and  turneth  about 
unto  the  north ;  it  whirleth  about  cdptinually,  and  the  wind 
retumeth  again  according  to  his  circuits. 

7  *A11  the  rivers  run  into  the  sea ;  yet  the  sea  is  not  full : 
unto  the  place  from  whence  the  rivers  come,  thither  they 
freturn  again. 

8  All  things  are  full  of  labour;  man  cannot  utter  i^.*  'the  eye 
is  not  satisfied  with  seeing,  nor  the  ear  filled  with  hearing. 

9  *The  thing  that  hath  been,  it  is  that  which  shall  be ;  and 
that  which  is  done  is  that  which  shall  be  done :  and  there  is 
no  new  thing  under  the  sun. 

10  Is  there  any  thing  whereof  it  may  be  said,  See,  this  is 
new?  it  hath  been  already  of  old  time,  which  was  before  us. 

11  There  is  no  remembrance  of  former  things;  neither 
shall  there  be  any  remembrance  of  things  that  are  to  come 
with  those  that  shall  come  after. 

12^'I  the  Preacher  Avas  king  over  Is'ra-el  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13  And  I  gave  my  heart  to  seek  and  search  out  by  wisdom 
concerning  ail  things  that  are  done  under  heaven  :  "this  .sore 
travail  hath  God  given  to  the  sons  of  man  ||  to  be  exercised 
therewith. 

14  1  have  seen  all  the  works  that  are  done  under  the  sun ; 
and,  behold,  all  is  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit.

fthat  which  is  wanting  cannot  be  numbered.

to  great  estate,  and  have  gotten  "more  wisdom  than  all  they 
that  have  been  before  me  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  yea,  my  heart 
fhad  great  experience  of  wisdom  and  knowledge. 

17  "And  I  gave  my  heart  to  know  wisdom,  and  to  know 
madness  and  folly :  I  perceived  that  this  also  is  vexation  of 
spirit.

king  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  Vanity  of  vanities,  saith  the  Preacher ;  vanity  of 

3  vanities,  all  is  vanity.  What  profit  hath  man  of  all 
his   labour  wherein  he  laboureth   under  the   sun? 

4  One    generation    goeth,    and    another    generation 
5 Cometh;  and  the  earth  abideth  for  ever.     The  sun 

also  ariseth,  and  the  sun  goeth  down,  and  hasteth 

6  to  his  place  where  he  ariseth.  The  wind  goeth  to- 
ward the  south,  and  turneth  about  unto  the  north; 
it  turneth  about  continually  in  its  course,  and  the 

7  wind  returneth  again  to  its  circuits.  All  the  ^rivers 
run  into  the  sea,  yet  the  sea  is  not  full;  unto  the 
place  whither  the  rivers  go,  thither  they  go  again. 

8 'AH  things  are  full  of  weariness;  man  cannot  utter 
it:  the  eye  is  not  satisfied  with  seeing,  nor  the  ear 

9  filled  with  hearing.  That  which  hath  been  is  that 
which  shall  be;  and  that  which  hath  been  done  is 
that  which  shall  be  done :  and  there  is  no  new  thing 

10  under  the  sun.  Is  there  a  thing  whereof  men  say, 
See,  this  is  new  ?  it  hath  been  already,  in  the  ages 

1 1  which  were  before  us.  There  is  no  remembrance  of 
the  former  generations;  neither  shall  there  be  any 
remembrance  of  the  latter  generations  that  are  to 
come,  among  those  that  shall  come  after.

15  all  is  vanity  and  "a  striving  after  wind.  That  which 
is  crooked  cannot  be  made  straight:  and  "that  which 

16  is  wanting  cannot  be  numbered.  I  communed  with 
mine  own  heart,  saying,  Lo,  I  have  gotten  me  great 
wisdom'above  all  that  were  before  me'in  Je-ru'sa-lem  : 
yea,  my  heart  'hath  had  great  experience  of  wisdom 

17  and  knowledge.  And  I  applied  my  heart  to  know 
wisdomj  and  to  know  madness  and  folly :  I  perceived 

18  that  this  also  was  a  striving  after  wind.  For  in  much 
wisdom  is  much  grief:  and  he  that  increaseth  knowl- 
edge increaseth  sorrow.

CHAPTER  II. 

T%e  vanity  of  human  courses  in  the  works  of  pleasure. 

1SAID  "in   mine  heart,  Go  to  now,  I   will   prove  thee 
with  mirth ;  therefore  enjoy  pleasure :  and,  behold,  'this 
also  is  vanity. 

2  °I  said  of  laughter.  It  is  mad :  and  of  mirth.  What  doeth  it? 

3  ''I  sought  in  mine  heart  fto  give  myself  unto  wine,  yet 
acquainting  mine  heart  with  wisdom;  p,nd  to  lay  hold  on 
folly,  till  I  might  see  what  was  that  good  for  the  sons  of 
men,  which  they  should  do  under  the  heaven  fall  the  days 
of  their  life. 

4  I  made  me  great  works;  I  builded  me  houses;  I  planted 
me  vineyards : 

5  I  made  me  gardens  and  orchards,  and  I  planted  trees 
in  them  of  all  kind  of  fruits: 

6  I  made  me  pools  of  water,  to  water  therewith  the  wood 
that  bringeth  forth  trees: 

7  I  got  me  servants  and  maidens,  and  had  fservants  born 
in  my  house;  also  I  had  great  pos.sessions  of  great  and  small 
cattle  above  all  that  were  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  before  me : 

8  'I  gathered  me  also  silver  and  gold,  and  the  peculiar 
treasure  of  kings  and  of  the  provinces;  I  gat  me  men 
singers  and  women  singers,  and  the  delights  of  the  sons  of 
men,  as  fmusical  instruments,  and  that  of  all  sorts. 

9  So  •'^I  was  great,  and  increased  more  than  all  that  were 
before  me  in  Je-ru'sa-lem:  also  my  wisdom  remained  with  me. 

10  And  whatsoever  mine  eyes  desired  I  kept  not  from 
them,  I  withheld  not  my  heart  from  any  joy ;  for  my  heart 
rejoiced  in  all  my  labour :  and  "this  was  my  portion  of  all 
my  labour. 

1  Then  I  looked  on  all  the  works  that  my  hands  had 
wrought,  and  on  the  labour  that  I  had  laboured  to  do  :  and, 
behold,  all  was  *vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit,  and  there  was 
no  profit  under  the  sun. 

12  %^And  I  turned  myself  to  behold  wisdom,  and  madness, 
and  'folly :  for  what  can  the  man  do  that  cometh  after  the 
king?  1 1  even  that  which  hath  been  already  done. 

13  Then  I  saw  fthat  wisdom  excelleth  folly,  as  far  as 
light  excelleth  darkness. 

14  'The  wise  man's  eyes  are  in  his  head;  but  the  fool 
walketh  in  darkness :  and  I  myself  perceived  also  that  'one 
event  happeneth  to  them  all. 

15  Then  said  I  in  my  heart,  As  it  happeneth  to  the  fool, 
so  it  fhappeneth  even  to  me ;  and  why  was  I  then  more  wise? 
Then  I  said  in  my  heart,  that  this  also  is  vanity. 

16  For  there  is  no  remembrance  of  the  wise  more  than  of 
the  fool  for  ever ;  seeing  that  which  now  is  in  the  days  to 
come  shall  all  be  forgotten.  And  how  dieth  the  wise  manf 
as  the  fool. 

17  Therefore  I  hated  life ;  because  the  work  that  is  wrought 
under  the  sun  is  grievous  unto  me :  for  all  is  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit. 

18  11  Yea,  I  hated  all  my  labour  which  I  had  ftaken  under 
the  sun  :  because  "I  should  leave  it  unto  the  man  that  shall 
be  after  me. 

19  And  who  knoweth  Avhether  he  shall  be  a  wise  man  or  a 
fool  ?  yet  shall  he  have  rule  over  all  my  labour  wherein  I 
have  laboured,  and  wherein  I  have  shewed  myself  wise 
under  the  sun.     This  is  also  vanity. 

20  Therefore  I  went  about  to  cause  my  heart  to  despair  of 
all  the  labour  which  I  took  under  the  sun. 

21  For  there  is  a  man  whose  labour  is  in  wisdom,  and  in 
knowledge,  and  in  equity;  yet  to  a  man  that  hath  not 
laboured  therein  shall  he  fleave  it  for  his  portion.  This  also 
is  vanity  and  a  great  evil. 

22  "For  what  hath  man  of  all  his  labour,  and  of  the  vexa- 
tion of  his  heart,  wherein  he  hath  laboured  under  the  sun  ? 

23  For  all  his  days  are  "sorrows,  and  his  travail  grief;  yea, 
his  heart  taketh  not  rest  in  the  night.     This  is  also  vanity. 


«  I  said  in  mine  heart.  Go  to  now,  I  will  prove  thee 
with  mirth  ;  'therefore  enjoy  ^pleasure  :  and,  behold, 

2 this  also  was  vanity.     I  said  of  laughter.  It  is  mad: 

3 and  of  mirth;  What  doeth  it?  I  searched  in  mine 
heart  how  to  cheer  my  flesh  with  wine,  mine  heart 
yet  ^guiding  me  with  wisdom,  and  how  to  lay  hold 
on  folly,  till  I  might  see  what  it  was  good  for  the 
sons  of  men  that  they  should  do  under  the  haaven 

4  ■'all  the  days  of  their  life.     I  made  me  great  works; 

5 1  builded  me  houses ;  I  planted  me  vineyards ;  I 
made  mfe  gardens  and  parks,  and  1  planted  trees  in 

6  them  of  all  kinds  of  fruit :  I  made  me  pools  of  water, 
to  water  therefrom  the  forest  where  trees  were  reared : 

7 1  bought  menservants  and  maidens,  and  had  servants 
born  in  my  house ;  also  I  had  great  possessions  of 
herds  and  flocks,  above  all  that  were  before  me  in 

8  Je-ru'sa-lem :  I  gathered  me  also  silver  and  gold,  and 
the  peculiar  treasure  of  kings  and  of  the  provinces: 
I  gat  me  men  singers  and  women  singers,  and  the 
delights  of  the  sons  of  men,  'concubines  very  many. 

9  So  I  was  great,  and  increased  more  than  all  that 
were  before  me  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  also  my  wisdom  *re- 

10  mained  with  me.  And  whatsoever  mine  eyes  desired 
I  kept  not  from  them :  I  withheld  not  my  heart  from 
any  joy,  for  my  heart  rejoiced  because  of  all  my 
labour ;  and  this  was  my  portion  from  all  my  labour. 

11  Then  I  looked  on  all  the  works  that  my  hands  had 
wrought,  and  on  the  labour  that  I  had  laboured  to 
do :  and,  behold,  all  was  vanity  and  a  striving  after 
wind,  and  there  was  no  profit  under  the  sun. 

12  And  I  turned  myself  to  behold  wisdom,  and  mad- 
ness and  folly  :  for  what  can  the  man  do  that  cometh 
'after  the  king?  even  that  which  hath  been  already 

13  done.     Then  I  saw  that  wisdom  excelleth  folly,  as 

14  far  as  light  excelleth  darkness.  The  wise  man's 
eyes  are  in  his  head,  and  the  fool  walketh  in  darkness  : 
and  yet  I  perceived  that  one  event  happeneth  to  them 

15  all.  Then  said  I  in  my  heart.  As  it  happeneth  to  the 
fool,  so  will  it  happen  even  to  me ;  and  why  was  I 
then   more   wise?      Then    I    said  in  my  heart,  that 

16  this  also  was  vanity.  For  of  the  wise  man,  even  as  of 
the  fool,  there  is  no  remembrance  for  ever;  seeing 
that  in  the  days  to  come  all  will  have  been  already 
forgotten.     And  how  doth  the  wise  man  die  even  as 

17  the  fool !  So  I  hated  life ;  because  the  work  that  is 
wrought  under  the  sun  was  grievous  unto  me :  for 
all  is  vanity  and  a  striving  after  wind. 

18  And  I  hated  all  my  labour  wherein  I  laboured 
under  the  sun :  seeing  that  I  must  leave  it  unto  the 

19  man  that  shall  be  after  me.  And  who  knoweth 
whether  he  shall  be  a  wise  man  or  a  fool?  yet  shall 
he  have  rule  over  all  my  labour  wherein  I  have 
laboured,  and  wherein  I  have  shewed  wisdom  under 

20  the  sun.  This  also  is  vanity.  Therefore  I  turned 
about  to  cause  my  heart  to  despair  concerning  all 
the  labour  wherein  I  had  laboured  under  the  sun. 

21  For  there  is  a  man  whose  labour  is  with  wisdom, 
and  with  knowledge,  and  with  ^skilfulness  ;  yet  to  a 
man  that  hath  not  laboured  therein  shall  he  'leave  it 
for  his  portion.     This  also  is  vanity  and  a  great  evil. 

22  For  what  bath  a  man  of  all  his  labour,  and  of  the 
'"striving  of  his  heart,  wherein  he  laboureth  under 

23  the  sun?  For  all  his  days  are  but  sorrows,  and  his 
travail  is  grief;  yea,  even  in  the  night  his  heart 
taketh  no  rest.     This  also  is  vanity.

eat  and  drink,  and  that  he  || should  make  his  soul  enjoy 
good  in  his  labour.  This  also  I  saw,  that  it  was  from  the 
hand  of  God. 

25  For  who  can  eat,  or  who  else  can  haaten  hereunto,  more 
than  1 ? 

26  For  God  giveth  to  a  man  that  is  good  fin  his  sight, 
wisdom,  and  knowledge,  and  joy :  but  to  the  sinner  he  giv- 
eth travail,  to  gather  and  to  heap  up,  that  «he  may  give 
to  him  that  is  good  before  God.  This  also  is  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit. 

CHAPTER   HI. 

The  excellency  of  God^s  work. 

TO  every  thing  there  is  a  season,  and  a  "time  to  every 
purpose  under  the  heaven : 

2  A  time  fto  be  born,  and  'a  time  to  die ;  a  time  to  plant, 
and  a  time  to  pluck  up  that  which  is  planted; 

3  A  time  to  kill,  and  a  time  to  heal ;  a  time  to  break  down, 
and  a  time  to  build  up; 

4  A  time  to  weep,  and  a  time  to  laugh ;  a  time  to  mourn, 
and  a  time  to  dance ; 

5  A  time  to  cast  away  stones,  and  a  time  to  gather  stones 
together;  a  time  to  embrace,  and  ''a  time  fto  refrain  from 
embracing; 

6  A  time  to  ||  get,  and  a  time  to  lose ;  a  time  to  keep,  and 
a  time  to  cast  away ; 

7  A  time  to  rend,  and  a  time  to  sew;  ''a  time  to  keep 
silence,  and  a  time  to  speak ; 

8  A  time  to  love,  and  a  time  to  "hate ;  a  time  of  war,  and 
a  time  of  peace ; 

9  •''What  profit  hath  he  that  worketh  in  that  wherein  he 
laboureth  ? 

10  'I  have  seen  the  travail,  which  God  hath  given  to  the 
sons  of  men  to  be  exercised  in  it. 

11  He  hath  made  every  thing  beautiful  in  his  time:  also 
he  hath  set  the  world  in  their  heart,  so  that  *no  man  can 
find  out  the  work  that  God  maketh  from  the  beginning  to 
the  end. 

12  'I  know  that  there  is  no  good  in  them,  but  for  a  man 
to  rejoice,  and  to  do  good  in  his  life. 

13  And  also  *that  every  man  should  eat  and  drink,  and 
enjoy  the  good  of  all  his  labour,  it  is  the  gift  of  God. 

14  I  know  that,  whatsoever  God  doeth,  it  shall  be  for 
ever:  'nothing,  can  be  put  to  it,  nor  anything  taken  from 
it:  and  God  doeth  it,  that  men  should  fear  before  him. 

15  "That  which  hath  been  is  now;  and  that  which  is 
to  be  hath  already  been;  and  God  requireth  fthat  which 
is  past. 

16  ^And  moreover  "I  saw  under  the  sun  the  place  of 
judgment,  that  wickedness  was  there;  and  the  place  of 
righteousness,  that  iniquity  was  there. 

17  I  said  in  mine  heart,  °God  shall  judge  the  righteous 
and  the  wicked :  for  there  is  "a  time  there  for  every  purpose 
and  for  every  work. 

18  1  said  in  mine  heart  concerning  the  estate  of  the  sons 
of  men,  ||  that  God  might  manifest  them,  and  that  they 
might  see  that  they  themselves  are  beasts. 

19  'For  that  which  befalleth  the  sons  of  men  befalleth 
beasts ;  even  one  thing  befalleth  them ;  as  the  one  dieth, 
so  dieth  the  other ;  yea,  they  have  all  one  breath ;  so  that 
a  man  hath  no  preeminence  above  a  beast:  for  all  is  vanity. 

20  All  go  unto  one  place ;  ""all  are  of  the  dust,  and  all  turn 
to  du.st  again. 

21  'Who  knoweth  the  spirit  fof  man  that  fgoetb  upward, 
and  the  spirit  of  the  beast  that  goeth  downward  to  tho  earth? 

22  ^'Wherefore  I  perceive  that  there  is  nothing  better, 
than  that  a  man  should  rejoice  in  his  own  works;  for  "that 
is  his  portion:  'for  who  shall  bring  him  to  see  what  shall 
be  after  him  ? 


24     There  is  nothing  better  for  a  man  than  that  he 
should  eat  and  drink,  and  make  his  soul  enjoy  good 
\      in  his  labour.     This  also  I  saw,  that  it  is  from  the 
y25hand  of  God.     For  who  can  eat,  or  who  can  'have 
26 enjoyment,  ^more  than  I?    For  to   the   man  that 
pleaseth  him    God  giveth  wisdom,  and  knowledge, 
and  joy :    but  to  the  sinner   he   giveth  travail,  to 
gather  and  to  heap  up,  that  he   may  give  to  him 
that  pleaseth  God.     This  also  is  vanity  and  a  striv- 
ing after  wind. 

V      To  every  thing  there  is  a  season,  and  a  time  to 

2  every  'purpose  under  the  heaven :  a  time  to  be  born, 
and  a  time  to  die;  a  time  to  plant,  and  a  time  to 

3  pluck  up  that  which  is  planted ;  a  time  to  kill,  and 
a  time  to  heal ;  a  time  to  break  down,  and  a  time  to 

4 build  up;  a  time  to  weep,  and  a  time  to  laugh;  a 

5  time  to  mourn,  and  a  time  to  dance ;  a  time  to  cast 
away  stones,  and  a  time  to  gather  stones  together ; 
a  time  to  embrace,  and  a  time  to  refrain  from  em- 

6  bracing ;  a  time  to  seek,  and  a  time  to  lose ;  a  time 
7 to  keep,  and  a  time  to  cast  away;  a  time  to  rend, 

and  a  time  to  sew;  a  time  to  keep  silence,  and  a 
8 time  to  speak;  a  time  to  love,  and  a  time  to  hate; 
9  a  time  for  war,  and  a  time  for  peace.     What  profit 

hath  he  that  worketh  in  that  wherein  he  laboureth  ? 
101  have  seen  the  travail  which  God  hath  given  to  the 

11  sons  of  men  to  be  exercised  therewith.  He  hath 
made  every  thing  beautiful  in  its  time :  also  he  hath 
set  ^the  world  in  their  heart,  yet  so  that  man  cannot 
find  out  the  work  that  God  hath  done  from  the  be- 

12  ginning  even  to  the  end.  I  know  that  there  is  noth- 
ing   better    for    them,  than  to   rejoice,  and  'to   do 

13  good  so  long  as  they  live.  And  also  that  every 
man  should  eat  and  drink,  and  enjoy  good  in  all  his 

14  labour,  is  the  gift  of  God.  I  know  that,  whatsoever 
God  doeth,  it  shall  be  forever :  nothing  can  be  put 
to  it,  nor  anything  taken  from  it:    and  God  hath 

15  done  it,  that  men  should  fear  before  him.  'That 
which  is  hath  been  already ;  and  that  which  is  to  be 
hath  already  been :  and  God  seeketh  again  that 
which  is  'passed  away. 

16  And  moreover  I  saw  under  the  sun,  in  the  place 
of  judgement,  that  wickedness  was  there;  and  in  the 
place  of  righteousness,  that  wickedness  was  there. 

171  said  in  mine  heart,  God  shall  judge  the  righteous 
and  the  wicked :  for  there  is  a  time  there  for  every 

18 'purpose  and  for  every  work.  'I  said  in  mine  heart. 
It  is  because  of  the  sons  of  men,  that  God  may  prove 
them,  and  that  they  may  see  that  they  themselves 

19  are  but  as  beasts.  For  'that  which  befalleth  the 
sons  of  men  befalleth  beasts;  even  one  thing  be- 
falleth them :  as  the  one  dieth,  so  dieth  the  other ; 
yea,  they  have  all  one  '"breath ;    and  man  hath  no 

20 preeminence  above  the  beasts:  for  all  is  vanity.  All 
go  unto  one  place ;  all  are  of  the  dust,  and  all  turn 

21  to  dust  again.  Who  knoweth  the  spirit  "of  man 
'^whether  it  goeth  upward,  and  the  spirit  of  the  beast 

22  '^whether  it  goeth  downward  to  the  earth  ?  W^here- 
fore  I  saw  that  there  is  nothing  better,  than  that  a 
man  should  rejoice  in  his  works;  for  that  is  his  por- 
tion :  for  who  shall  bring  him  back  to  see  what  shall 
be  after  him?

yant'ty  is  increased  unto  men  by  oppression. 


SO  I  returned,  and  considered  all  the  "oppressions  that 
are  done  under  the  sun :  and  behold  the  tears  of  such 
as  were  oppressed,  and  they  had  no  comforter;  and  on  the 
fside  of  their  oppressors  there  was  power ;  but  they  had  no 
comforter. 

2  'Wherefore  I  praised  the  dead  which  are  already  dead 
more  than  the  living  which  are  yet  alive. 

3  "Yea,  better  is  he  than  both  they,  which  hath  not  yet 
been,  who  hath  not  seen  the  evil  work  that  is  done  under 
the  sun. 

4  %Again,  I  considered  all  travail,  and  fevery  right  work, 
that  ffor  this  a  man  is  envied  of  his  neighbour.  This  is 
also  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit. 

5  ''The  fool  foldeth  his  hands  together,  and  eateth  his  own 
flesh. 

6  'Better  is  a  handful  with  quietness,  than  both  the  hands 
full  with  travail  and  vexation  of  spirit. 

7  ^Then  I  returned,  and  I  saw  vanity  under  the  sun. 

8  There  is  one  alone,  and  there  is  not  a  second ;  yea, 
he  hath  neither  child  nor  brother :  yet  is  there  no  end  of 
all  his  labour;  neither  is  his  -^eye  satisfied  with  riches; 
"neither  saith  he,  For  whom  do  I  labour,  and  bereave 
my  soul  of  good?  This  is  also  vanity,  yea,  it  is  a  sore 
travail. 

9  ^Two  are  better  than  one;  because  they  have  a  good 
reward  for  their  labour. 

10  For  if  they  fall,  the  one  will  lift  up  his  fellow :  but  woe 
to  him  that  is  alone  when  he  falleth ;  for  he  hath  not  another 
to  help  him  up. 

11  Again,  if  two  lie  together,  then  they  have  heat:  but 
how  can  one  be  warm  alone  ? 

12  And  if  one  prevail  against  him,  two  shall  withstand  him; 
and  a  threefold  cord  is  not  quickly  broken. 

13  ^Better  is  a  poor  and  a  wise  child,  than  an  old  and 
foolish  king,  fwho  will  no  more  be  admonished. 

14  For  out  of  prison  he  cometh  to  reign ;  whereas  also  he 
that  is  born  in  his  kingdom  becometh  poor. 

15  I  considered  all  the  living  which  walk  under  the 
sun,  with  the  second  child  that  shall  stand  up  in  his 
stead. 

16  There  is  no  end  of  all  the  people,  even  of  all  that  have 
been  before  them :  they  also  that  come .  after  shall  not  re- 
joice in  him.  Surely  this  also  is  vanity  and  vexation  of 
spirit. 

CHAPTER    V. 

Vanities  in  divine  service,  and  in  murmuring  against  oppression. 

KEEP  "thy  foot  when  thou  goest  to  the  house  of  God, 
and  be  more  ready  to  hear,  'than  to  give  the  sacrifice 
of  fools :  for  they  consider  not  that  they  do  evil. 

2  Be  not  rash  with  thy  mouth,  and  let  not  thine  heart 
be  hasty  to  utter  any  || thing  before  God:  for  God  is  in 
heaven,  and  thou  upon  earth :  therefore  let  thy  words  "be 
few. 

3  For  a  dream  cometh  through  the  multitude  of  business ; 
and  ''a  fool's  voice  is  known  by  multitude  of  words. 

4  'When  thou  vowest  a  vow  unto  God,  defer  not  to  pay 
it ;  for  he  hath  no  pleasure  in  fools :  ^pay  that  which  thou 
hast  vowed. 

5  "Better  is  it  that  thou  shouldest  not  vow,  than  that  thou 
shouldest  vow  and  not  pay. 

6  Suffer  not  thy  mouth  to  cause  thy  flesh  to  sin ;  ''neither 
say  thou  before  the  angel,  that  it  was  an  error:  wherefore 
should  God  be  angry  at  thy  voice,  and  destroy  the  work  of 
thine  hands? 

7  For  in  the  multitude  of  dreams  and  many  words  there 
are  also  divers  vanities  :  but  'fear  thou  God. 


^  Then  I  returned  and  saw  all  the  oppressions  that 
are  done  under  the  sun :  and  behold,  the  tears  of 
such  as  were  oppressed,  and  they  had  no  comforter; 
and  on  the  side  of  their  oppressors  there  was  power, 
2  but  they  had  no  comforter.  Wherefore  I  praised 
the  dead  which  are  already  dead  more  than  the 
3 living  which  are  yet  alive;  yea,  'better  than  them 
both  did  T  esteem  him  which  hath  not  yet  been, 
who  hath  not  seen  the  evil  work  that  is  done  under 
the  sun. 

4  Then  I  saw  all  labour  and  every  ^skilful  work, 
that  ^for  this  a  man  is  envied  of  his  neighbour.     This 

5  also  is  vanity  and  a  striving  after  wind.  The  fool 
foldeth  his  hands  together,  and  eateth  his  own  flesh. 

6  Better  is  an  handful  *with  quietness,  than  two  hand- 
fuls  %ith  labour  and  striving  after  wind. 

7  Then  I  returned  and  saw  vanity  under  the  sun. 

8  There  is  one  that  is  alone,  and  he  hath  not  a  second ; 
yea,  he  hath  neither  son  nor  brother ;  yet  is  there 
no  end  of  all  his  labour,  neither  are  his  eyes  satisfied 
with  riches.  For  whom  then,  saith  he,  do  I  labour, 
and  deprive  my  soul  of  good  ?     This  also  is  vanity 

9  yea,  it  is  a  sore  travail.  Two  are  better  than  one ; 
because  they  have  a  good  reward  for  their  labour 

10  For  if  they  fall,  the  one  will  lift  up  his  fellow :  but 
woe  to  him  that  is  alone  when  he  falleth,  and  hath 

11  not  another  to  lift  him  up.  Again,  if  two  lie  to 
gether,  then  they  have  warmth :  but  how  can  one 

12be  warm  alone  f  And  if  a  man  prevail  against  him 
that  is  alone,  two  shall  withstand  him ;  and  a  three- 
fold cord  is  not  quickly  broken. 

13  Better  is  a  poor  and  wise  youth  than  an  old  and 
foolish  king,  who  knoweth  not  how  to  receive  ad- 

14  monition  any  more.  For  out  of  prison  he  came 
forth  to  be  king ;  'yea,  even  in  his  kingdom  he  was 

15  born  poor.  I  saw  all  the  living  which  walk  under 
the  sun,  that  they  were  with  the  youth,  the  second, 

16  that  stood  up  in  his  stead.  ^There  was  no  end  of 
all  the  people,  even  of  all  them  over  whom  he 
was:  yet  they  that  come  after  shall  not  rejoice 
in  him.  Surely  this  also  is  vanity  and  a  striving 
after  wind. 

V  Keep  thy  foot  when  thou  goest  to  the  house  of 
God ;  for  to  draw  nigh  to  hear  is  better  than  to  give 
the  sacrifice  of  fools :  for  they  know  not  that  they 

2  do  evil.  Be  not  rash  with  thy  mouth,  and  let  not 
thine  heart  be  hasty  to  utter  'any  thing  before  God ; 
for  God  is  in  heaven,  and  thou  upon   earth:  there- 

3  fore  let  thy  words  be  few.  For  a  dream  cometh 
with  a  multitude  of  ^business ;   and  a  fool's  voice 

4  with  a  multitude  of  words.  When  thou  vowest  a 
vow  unto  God,  defer  not  to  pay  it;  for  he  hath  no 
pleasure   in    fools:    pay   that   which   thou    vowest. 

5  Better  is  it  that  thou  shouldest  not  vow,  than  that 

6  thou  shouldest  vow  and  not  pay.  Suffer  not  thy 
mouth  to  cause  thy  flesh  to  sin ;  neither  say  thou 
before  the  'angel,  that  it  was  an  error:  wherefore 
should  God  be  angry  at  thy  voice,  and  destroy  the 

7  work  of  thine  hands  ?  '"For  thus  it  cometh  to  pass 
through  the  multitude  of  dreams  and  vanities  and 
many  words  :  but  fear  thou  God.

8  ^If  thou  *8ee8t  the  oppression  of  the  poor,  and  violent 
perverting  of  judgment  and  justice  in  a  province,  marvel 
not  fat  the  matter:  for  'he  that  is  higher  than  the  highest 
regardeth;  and  there  be  higher  than  they. 

9  ^Moreover  the  profit  of  the  earth  is  for  all :  the  king 
himself  is  served  by  the  field. 

10  He  that  loveth  silver  shall  not  be  satisfied  with  silver; 
nor  he  that  loveth  abundance  with  increase:  this  is  also 
vanity. 

11  When  goods  increase,  they  are  increased  that  eat 
them :  and  what  good  is  there  to  the  owners  thereof,  saving 
the  beholding  of  them  with  their  eyes  ? 

12  The  sleep  of  a  labouring  man  is  sweet,  whether  he  eat 
little  or  much :  but  the  abundance  of  the  rich  will  not  suffer 
him  to  sleep. 

13  "There  is  a  sore  evil  which  I  have  seen  under  the 
sun,  namely,  riches  kept  for  the  owners  thereof  to  their 
hurt. 

14  But  those  riches  perish  by  evil  travail :  and  he  be- 
getteth  a  son,  and  there  is  nothing  in  his  hand. 

15  "As  he  came  forth  of  his  mother's  womb,  naked  shall 
he  return  to  go  as  he  came,  and  shall  take  nothing  of  his 
labour,  which  he  may  carry  away  in  his  hand. 

16  And  this  also  is  a  sore  evil,  that  in  all  points  as  he 
came,  so  shall  he  go :  and  "what  profit  hath  he  "that  hath 
laboured  for  the  wind? 

17  All  his  days  also  »he  eateth  in  darkness,  and  he  hath 
much  sorrow  and  wrath  with  his  sickness. 

18  ^[Behold  that  which  I  have  seen :  '-fit  is  good  and 
comely /or  one  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  to  enjoy  the  good 
of  all  his  labour  that  he  taketh  under  the  sun  fall  the 
days  of  his  life,  which  God  giveth  him:  'for  it  is  his 
portion. 

19  'Every  man  also  to  whom  God  hath  given  riches  and 
wealth,  and  hath  given  him  power  to  eat  thereof,  and  to 
take  his  portion,  and  to  rejoice  in  his  labour;  this  is  the 
gift  of  God. 

20  II  For  he  shall  not  much  remember  the  days  of  his  life ; 
because  God  answereth  him  in  the  joy  of  his  heart. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

Thf  vanity  of  riches  without  use. 

THERE  "is   an  evil  which  I  have  seen  under  the  sun, 
and  it  is  common  among  men  : 

2  A  man  to  whom  God  hath  given  riches,  wealth,  and 
honour,  *so  that  he  wanteth  nothing  for  his  soul  of  all  that 
he  desireth,  "yet  God  giveth  him  not  power  to  eat  thereof, 
but  a  stranger  eateth  it :  this  is  vanity,  and  it  is  an  evil  dis- 
ease. 

3  ^If  a  man  beget  a  hundred  children,  and  live  many 
years,  so  that  the  days  of  his  years  be  many,  and  his  soul 
be  not  filled  with  good,  and  ''also  that  he  have  no  burial; 
I  say,  that  'an  untimely  birth  is  better  than  he. 

4  For  he  cometh  in  with  vanity,  and  departeth  in  darkness, 
and  his  name  shall  be  covered  with  darkness. 

5  Moreover  he  hath  not  seen  the  sun,  nor  known  anything: 
this  hath  more  rest  than  the  other. 

6  ^Yea,  though  he  live  a  thousand  years  twice  told,  yet 
hath  he  seen  no  good :  do  not  all  go  to  one  place  ? 

7  -''All  the  labour  of  man  is  for  his  mouth,  and  yet  the 
appetite  fis  not  filled. 

8  For  what  hath  the  wise  more  than  the  fool  ?  what  hath 
the  poor,  that  knoweth  to  walk  before  the  living  ? 

9  ^Better  is  the  sight  of  the  eyes  fthan  tne  wander- 
ing of  the  desire :  this  is  also  vanity  and  vexation  of 
spirit. 

10  That  which  hath  been  is  named  already,  and  it  is  known 
that  it  i«  man:  'neither  may  he  contend  with  him  that  is 
mightier  than  he. 


8  If  thou  seest  the  oppression  of  the  poor,  and  the 
violent  taking  away  of  judgement  and  justice  in  'a 
province,  marvel  not  at  the  matter:  for  one  higher 
than  the  high  regardeth ;    and  there  be  higher  than 

9 they.  ^Moreover  the  profit  of  the  earth  is  for  all: 
the  kitag  himself  is  served  by  the  field. 

10  He  that  loveth  silver  shall  not  be  satisfied  with 
silver ;  nor  he  that  loveth  abundance  with  increase : 

11  this  also  is  vanity.  When  goods  increase,  they  are 
increased  that  eat  them  :  and  what  advantage  is  there 
to  the  owner  thereof,  saving  the  beholding  of  them 

12 with  his  eyes?     The  sleep  of  a  labouring  man    is 

sweet,  whether  he  eat  little  or  much :  but  the  fulness 

of  the  rich  will  not  suffer  him  to  sleep. 
13     There  is  a  grievous  evil  which  I  have  seen  under 

the  sun,  namely,  riches  kept  by  the  owner  thereof  to 
14 his  hurt:  and  those  riches  perish  by  eviPadventure ; 

and  if  he  hath  begotten  a  son,  there  is  nothing  in 

15  his  hand.  As  he  came  forth  of  his  mother's  womb, 
naked  shall  he  go  again  as  he  came,  and  shall  take 
nothing  for  his  labour,  which  he  may  carry  away  in 

16  his  hand.  And  this  also  is  a  grievous  evil,  that  in 
all  points  as  he  came,  so  shall  he  go :  and  what  profit 

17 hath  he  that  he  laboureth  for  the  wind?  *A11  his 
days  also  he  eateth  in  darkness,  and  he  is  sore  vexed 
and  hath  sickness  and  wrath. 

18  Behold,  'that  which  I  have  seen  to  be  good  and 
to  be  comely  is  for  one  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  to 
enjoy  good  in  all  his  labour,  wherein  he  laboureth 
under  the  sun,  *all  the  days  of  his  life  which  God 

19  hath  given  him :  for  this  is  his  portion.  Every  man 
also  to  whom  God  hath  given  riches  and  wealth,  and 
hath  given  him  power  to  eat  thereof,  and  to  take  his 
portion,  and  to  rejoice  in  his  labour ;  this  is  the  gift 

20  of  God.  For  he  shall  not  much  remember  the  days 
of  his  life ;  because  God  answereth  him  in  the  joy 
of  his  heart. 

v)     There  is  an  evil  which  I  have  seen  under  the  sun, 

2and  it  is  heavy  upon  men:  a  man  to  whom  God 
giveth  riches,  wealth,  and  honour,  so  that  he  lacketh 
nothing  for  his  soul  of  all  that  he  desireth,  yet  God 
giveth  him  not  power  to  eat  thereof,  but  a  stranger 

3 eateth  it;  this  is  vanity,  and  it  is  an  evil  disease.  If 
a  man  beget  an  hundred  children,  and  live  many 
years,  so  that  the  days  of  his  years  be  many,  but  his 
soul  be  not  filled  with  good,  and  moreover  he  have 
no  burial;    I  say,    that  an  untimely  birth  is  better 

4 than  he;  for  it  cometh  in  vanity,  and  departeth  in 
darkness,  and  the  name  thereof  is  covered  with  dark- 

5ness;  moreover  it  hath  not  seen  the  sun 'nor  known 

6  it ;  *this  hath  rest  rather  than  the  other :  yea,  though 
he  live  a  thousand  years  twice  told,  and  yet  enjoy  no 

7  good :  do  not  all  go  to  one  place  ?  All  the  labour 
of  man  is  for  his  mouth,  and  yet  the  appetite  is  not 

8  filled.  For  what  advantage  hath  the  wise  more  than 
the  fool  ?  ''or  what  hath  the  poor  man,  that  knoweth 

9  to  walk  before  the  living?  Better  is  the  sight  of  the 
eyes  than  the  wandering  of  the  desire:  this  also  is 
vanity  and  a  striving  after  wind. 

10  '"Whatsoever  hath  been,  the  name  thereof  was  given 
long  ago,  and  it  is  known  that  it  is  "man:  neither 
can  he  contend  with  him  that  is  mightier  than  he.

11  ^TSeeing  there  be  many  things  that  increase  vanity, 
what  is  man  the  better? 

12  For  who  knoweth  what  is  good  for  man  in  this  life, 
fall  the  days  of  his  vain  life  which  he  spendeth  as  ''a 
shadow?  for  'who  can  tell  a  man  what  shall  be  after  him 
under  the  sun? 

CHAPTER  VII. 

Remedies  against  van  'ty  are,  a  good  name,  patience,  and  wisdom. 

A  "GOOD   name  is  better  than  precious  ointment;    and 
the  day  of  death  than  the  day  of  one's  birth. 

2  *\It  is  better  to  go  to  the  house  of  mourning,  than  to  go 
to  the  house  of  feasting :  for  that  is  the  end  of  all  men ;  and 
the  living  will  lay  it  to  his  heart. 

3  II Sorrow  is  better  than  laughter:  ''for  by  the  sadness  of 
the  countenance  the  heart  is  made  better. 

4  The  heart  of  the  wise  is  in  the  house  of  mourning ;  but 
the  heart  of  fools  is  in  the  house  of  mirth. 

5  'It  is  better  to  hear  the  rebuke  of  the  wise,  than  for  a 
man  to  hear  the  song  of  fools. 

6  ■'For  as  the  fcrackling  of  thorns  under  a  pot,  so  is  the 
laughter  of  the  fool :  this  also  is  vanity. 

7  ^Surely  oppression  maketh  a  wise  man  mad ;  'and  a 
gift  destroyeth  the  heart. 

8  Better  is  the  end  of  a  thing  than  the  beginning  there- 
of: and  Hhe  patient  in  spirit  is  better  than  the  proud  in 
spirit. 

9  "Be  not  hasty  in  thy  spirit  to  be  angry :  for  anger  resteth 
in  the  bosom  of  fools. 

10  Say  not  thou,  What  is  the  cause  that  the  former  days 
were  better  than  these?  for  thou  dost  not  inquire  fwisely 
concerning  this. 

11  ^W'.sdom  II  is  good  with  an  inheritance  :  and  by  it  there 
is  profit  "to  them  that  see  the  sun. 

12  For  wisdom  is  a  fdefence,  and  money  is  a  defence: 
but  the  excellency  of  knowledge  is,  that  wisdom  giveth  life 
to  them  that  have  it. 

13  Consider  the  work  of  God:  for  'who  can  make  that 
straight,  which  he  hath  made  crooked? 

14  ''In  the  day  of  prosperity  be  joyful,' but  in  the  day  of 
adversity  consider :  God  also  hath  fset  the  one  over  against 
the  other,  to  the  end  that  man  should  find  nothing  after 
him. 

15  All  things  have  I  seen  in  the  days  of  my  vanity:  'there 
is  a  just  man  that  perisheth  in  his  righteousness,  and  there 
is  a  wicked  man  that  prolongeth  his  life  in  his  wickedness. 

16  ""Be  not  righteous  over  much ;  "neither  make  thyself 
over  wise:  why  shouldest  thou  fdestroy  thyself? 

17  Be  not  over  much  wicked,  neither  be  thou  foolish : 
"why  shouldest  thou  die  fbefore  thy  time? 

18  It  is  good  that  thou  shouldest  take  hold  of  this;  yea, 
also  from  this  withdraw  not  thine  hand :  for  he  that  feareth 
God  shall  come  forth  of  them  all. 

19  "Wisdom  strengtheneth  the  wise  more  than  ten  mighty 
men  which  are  in  the  city. 

20  'For  there  is  not  a  just  man  upon  earth,  that  doeth 
good,  and  sinneth  not. 

21  Also  ftake  no  heed  unto  all  words  that  are  spoken; 
lest  thou  hear  thy  servant  curse  thee: 

22  For  oftentimes  also  thine  own  heart  knoweth  that  thou 
thyself  likewise  hast  cursed  others. 

23  UAH  this  have  I  proved  by  wisdom :  ""I  said,  I  will  be 
wise ;  but  it  was  far  from  me. 

24  'That  which  is  far  oiF,  and  'exceeding  deep,  who  can 
find  it  out? 

25  fl  applied  mine  lieart  to  know,  and  to  search,  and  to 
seek  out  wisdom,  and  the  reason  of  things,  and  to  know  the 
wickedness  of  folly,  even  of  foolishness  and  madness: 

26  ""And  I  find  more  bitter  than  death  the  woman,  whose 
heart  is  snares  and  nets,  and  her  hands  as  bands :    f^l^oso 


11  Seeing  there  be  many  'things  that  increase  vanity, 
12 what  is  man  the  better?  For  who  knoweth  what 
is  good  for  man  in  his  life,  %11  the  days  of  his  vain 
life  which  he  spendeth  as  a  shadow?  for  who 
can  tell  a  man  what  shall  be  after  him  under  the 
sun? 

♦  A  good  name  is  better  than  precious  ointment; 
and  the  day  of  death  than  *ixe  day  of  one's  birth. 

2  It  is  better  to  go  to  the  house  of  mourning,  than  to 
go  to  the  house  of  feasting:  for  that  is  the  end  of 
all  men;   and  the  living  will  lay  it  to  his  heart. 

3 Sorrow  is  better  than  laughter:   for  by  the  sadness 

4  of  the  countenance  the  heart  is  made  'glad.  The 
heart  of  the  wise  is  in  the  house  of  mourning;  but 

5  the  heart  of  fools  is  in  the  house  of  mirth.  It  is 
better  to  hear  the  rebuke  of  the  wise,  than  for  a 

6  man  to  hear  the  song  of  fools.  For  as  the  crack- 
ling of  thorns  under  a  pot,  so  is  the  laughter  of  the 

7  fool :  this  also  is  vanity.  *SureIy  extortion  maketh 
a  wise  man  foolish ;  and  a  gift  destroyeth  the  un- 

8  derstanding.  Better  is  the  end  of  a  thing  than  the 
beginning  thereof:  and  the  patient  in  spirit  is  bet- 

9ter  than  the  proud  in  spirit.  Be  not  hasty  in  thy 
spirit  to  be  'angry :  for  'anger  resteth  in  the  bosom 

10  of  fools.  Say  not  thou,  AVhat  is  the  cause  that  the 
former  days  were  better  than  these?    for  thou  dost 

11  not  inquire  ^wisely  concerning  this.  Wisdom  *is  as 
good  as  an  inheritance :    yea,  more    excellent  is  it 

12  for  them  that  see  the  sun.  For  wisdom  is  a  defence, 
even  as  money  is  a  defence:  but  the  excellency  of 
knowledge  is,  that  wisdom  preserveth  the  life  of  him 

13 that  hath  it.  Consider  the  work  of  God:  for  who 
can  make  that  straight,  which  he  hath  made  crooked  V 

14  In  the  day  of  prosperity  be  joyful,  and  in  the  day  of 
adversity  consider :  God  hath  even  made  the  one 
side  by  side  with  the  other,  to  the  end  that  man 
should  not  find  out  any  thing  that  shall  be  after 
him. 

15  All  this  have  I  seen  in  the  days  of  my  vanity: 
there  is  a  righteous  man  that  perisheth  in  his  right- 
eousness, and  there  is  a  wicked  man  that  prolongeth 

IQhis  life  in  his  evil-doing.  Be  not  righteous  over 
much  ;  neither  make  thyself  over  wise :  why  should 

17  est  thou  destroy  thyself?  Be  not  over  much  wicked, 
neither  be  thou  foolish :  why  shouldest  thou  die  be- 

18  fore  thy  time  ?  It  is  good  that  thou  shouldest  take 
hold  of  this ;  yea,  also  from  that  withdraw  not  thine 
hand :  for  he  that  feareth  God  shall  come  forth  of 
them  all. 

19  Wisdom  is  a  strength  to  the  wise  man  more  than 

20  ten  rulers  which  are  in  a  city.  ''Surely  there  is 
not  a  righteous   man  upon  earth,  that  doeth  good, 

21  and  sinneth  not  Also  'take  not  heed  unto  all 
words  that  are   spoken;    lest  thou   hear   thy  serv- 

22 ant  curse  thee:  for  oftentimes  also  thine  own 
heart  knoweth  that  thou  thyself  likewise  hast 
cursed  others. 

23  All  this  have  I  '"proved  in  wisdom :  I  said,  I  will  be 

24  wise ;  but  it  was  far  from  me.     That  which  "is  is  far 
25 off,  and  exceeding  deep;  who  can   find  it   out?     I 

turned  about,  and  my  heart  icas  set  to  know  and  to 
search  out,  and  to  seek  wisdom  and  the  reason  of 
things,  and  to  know  '^that  wickedness  is  folly,  and 
26 that  foolishness  is  madness:  and  I  find  a  thing  more 
bitter  than  death,  even  the  woman  "whose  heart  is 
snares  and   nets,  and  her  hands  as  bands:    whoso

those  have  I  not  found. 

29  Lo,  this  only  have  I  found,  "that  God  hath  made  man 
upright ;  but  Hhey  have  sought  out  many  inventions. 

CHAPXER  VIII. 

//  is  better  with  the  godly  in  adversity,  than  with  the  wicked  in  prosperity. 

WHO  is  as  the  wise  manf  and  who  knoweth  the  inter- 
pretation of  a  thing?  "a  man's  wisdom  maketh  his  face 
to  shine,  and  f^'the  boldness  of  his  face  shall  be  changed. 

2  I  counsel  thee  to  keep  the  king's  commandment,  "and  that 
in  regard  of  the  oath  of  God. 

3  ''Be  not  hasty  to  go  out  of  his  sight :  stand  not  in  an 
evil  thing;  for  he  doeth  whatsoever  pleaseth  him. 

4  Where  the  word  of  a  king  is,  there  is  power :  and  'who 
may  say  unto  him.  What  doest  thou  ? 

5  Whoso  keepeth  the  commandment  fshall  feel  no  evil 
thing:  and  a  wise  man's  heart  discerneth  both  time  and 
judgment. 

6  ^BecAuse-^to  every  purpose  there  is  time  and  judgment, 
therefore  the  misery  of  man  is  great  upon  him. 

7  "For  he  knoweth  not  that  which  shall  be :  for  who  can 
tell  him  ||  when  it  shall  be? 

8  ''There  is  no  man  that  hath  power  'over  the  spirit  to  re- 
tain the  spirit ;  neither  hath  he  power  in  the  day  of  death : 
and  there  is  no  |1  discharge  in  that  war;  neither  shall  wicked- 
ness deliver  those  that  are  given  to  it. 

9  All  this  have  I  seen,  and  applied  my  heart  unto  every 
work  that  is  done  under  the  sun :  there  is  a  time  wherein  one 
man  ruleth  over  another  to  his  own  hurt. 

10  And  so  I  saw  the  wicked  buried,  who  had  come  and 
gone  from  the  place  of  the  holy,  and  they  were  forgotten  in 
the  city  where  they  had  so  done :  this  is  also  vanity. 

11  *Because  sentence  against  an  evil  work  is  not  executed 
speedily,  therefore  the  heart  of  the  sons  of  men  is  fully  set 
in  them  to  do  evil. 

12  ^'Though  a  sinner  do  evil  a  hundred  times,  and  his 
days  be  prolonged,  yet  surely  I  know  that  ""it  shall  be  well 
with  them  that  fear  God,  which  fear  before  him : 

13  But  it  shall  not  be  well  with  the  wicked,  neither  shall 
he  prolong  his  days,  which  are  as  a  shadow ;  because  he 
feareth  uot  before  God. 

14  There  is  a  vanity  which  is  done  upon  the  earth ;  that 
there  be  just  men,  unto  whom  it  "happeneth  according  to 
the  work  of  the  wicked;  again,  there  be  wicked  men,  to 
whom  it  happeneth  according  to  the  work  of  the  righteous : 
I  said  that  this  also  is  vanity. 

15  "Then  I  commended  mirth,  because  a  man  hath  no 
better  thing  under  the  sun,  than  to  eat,  and  to  drink,  and  to 
be  merry :  for  that  shall  abide  with  him  of  his  labour  the 
days  of  his  life,  which  God  giveth  him  under  the  sun. 

16  5[When  I  applied  mine  heart  to  know  wisdom,  and  to 
see  the  business  that  is  done  upon  the  earth :  (for  also  there 
is  that  neither  day  nor  night  seeth  sleep  with  his  eyes :) 

17  Then  I  beheld  all  the  work  of  God,  that  ^a  man  cannot 
find  out  the  work  that  is  done  under  the  sun  :  because  though 
a  man  labour  to  seek  it  out,  yet  he  shall  not  find  it;  yea 
further ;  though  a  wise  man  think  to  know  it,  «yet  shall  he 
not  be  able  to  find  it. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Like  things  happen  to  good  and  bad. 

FOR  all  this  fl  considered  in  my  heart  even  to  declare  all 
this,  "that  the  righteous,  and  the  wise,  and  their  works, 
are  in  the  hand  of  God:  no  man  knoweth  either  love  or 
hatred  by  all  that  is  before  them. 


pleaseth  God  shall  escape  from  her;  but  the  sinner 
27  shall  be  taken  by  her.     Behold,  this  have  I  found, 

saith  the  Preacher,  Haying  one  thing  to  another,  to 
28 find  out  the  account:  which  my   soul  still  seeketh, 

but  I  have  not  found :  one  man  among  a  thousand 

have  I  found;  but  a  woman  among  all  those  have 
29 1  not  found.     Behold,  this  only  have  I  found,  that 

God  made  man  upright;  but  they  have  sought  out 

many  inventions. 

O  Who  is  as  the  wise  man?  and  who  knoweth  the 
interpretation  of  a  thing  ?  A  man's  wisdom  maketh 
his  face  to  shine,  and  the   ^hardness  of  his  face  is 

2  changed.     I  counsel  thee.  Keep  the  king's  command, 

3  and  that  in  regard  of  the  oath  of  God.  Be  not 
hasty  to  go  out  of  his  presence;  persist  not  in  an 
evil  thing:  for  he  doeth  whatsoever  pleaseth  him. 

4 Because  the  king's  word  hath  power;  and  who  may 

5 say  unto  him.  What  doest  thou?     Whoso  keepeth 

the  commandment  shall  know  no  evil  thing ;  and  a 

wise  man's  heart  discerneth  time  and  judgement: 

6  for  to  every  'purpose  there  is  a  time  and  judgement; 

7  because  the  ^misery  of  man  is  great  upon  him :  for 
he  knoweth  not  that  which  shall  be;  *for  who  can 

8 tell  him  how  it  shall  be?  There  is  no  man  that 
hath  power  over  the  'spirit  to  retain  the  'spirit; 
neither  hath  he  power  over  the  day  of  death ;  and 
there    is   no  discharge  'in    that   war:    neither  shall 

9  wickedness  deliver  him  that  is  given  to  it.  All 
this  have  I  seen,  and  applied  my  heart  unto  every 
work  that  is  done  under  the  sun:  Hhere  is  a  time 
wherein  one  man  hath  power  over  another  'to  his 
hurt. 

10  And  withal  I  saw  the  wicked  buried,  '"and  they 
came  to  the  grave;  and  they  that  had  done  right 
went  away  from  the  holy  place,  and  were  forgotten 

11  in  the  city:  this  also  is  vanity.  Because  sentence 
against  an  evil  work  is  not  executed  speedily,  there- 
fore the  heart  of  the  sons  of  men  is  "fully  set  in 

12  them  to  do  evil.  Though  a  sinner  do  evil  an  hun- 
dred times,  and  prolong  his  days,  yet  surely  I 
know  that  it  shall  be  well  with  them  that  fear  God, 

13 which  fear  before  him:  but  it  shall  not  be  well 
with  the  wicked,  neither  shall  he  prolong  his  days, 
which  are  as  a  shadow;  because  he  feareth  not  be- 

14  fore  God.  There  is  a  vanity  which  is  done  upon 
the  earth ;  that  there  be  righteous  men,  unto  whom 
it  happeneth  according  to  the  work  of  the  wicked  ; 
again,  there  be  wicked  men,  to  whom  it  happeneth 
according  to  the  work  of  the  righteous:  I  said  that 

15  this  also  is  vanity.  Then  I  commended  mirth,  be- 
cause a  man  hath  no  better  thing  under  the  sun, 
than  to  eat,  and  to  drink,  and  to  be  merry:  '^for 
that  shall  abide  with  him  in  his  labour  all  the  days 
of  his  life  which  God  hath  given  him  under  the  sun. 

16  When  I  applied  mine  heart  to  know  wisdom, 
and  to  see  the  "business  that  is  done  upon  the 
earth:  ('*for  also  there  is  that  neither  day  nor  night 

17 seeth  sleep  with  his  eyes:)  then  I  beheld  all  the 
work  of  God,  that  man  cannot  find  out  the  work 
that  is  done  under  the  sun :  because  however 
much  a  man  labour  to  seek  it  out,  yet  he  shall  not 
find  it ;  yea  moreover,  though  a  wise  man  think  to 
know  it,  yet  shall  he  not  be  able  to  find  it.  For 
all  this  I  laid  to  my  heart,  even  to  explore  all 
this;  that  the  righteous,  and  the  wise,  and  their 
works,  are  in  the  hand  of  God :  whether  it  be  love 
or  hatred,  man  knoweth  it  not;  all  is  before  them.

2  'All  things  come  alike  to  all :  there  is  one  event  to  the 
righteou.s,  and  to  the  wicked ;  to  the  good  and  to  the  clean, 
and  to  the  unclean ;  to  him  that  sacrificeth,  and  to  him  that 
sacrificeth  not :  as  is  the  good,  so  is  the  sinner ;  and  he  that 
sweareth,  as  he  that  feareth  an  oath. 

3  This  is  an  evil  among  all  things  that  are  done  under  the 
sun,  that  there  is  one  event  unto  all :  yea,  also  the  heart  of 
the  sons  of  men  is  full  of  evil,  and  madness  is  in  their  heart 
while  they  live,  and  after  that  they  go  to  the  dead. 

4  ^For  to  him  that  is  joined  to  all  the  living  there  is  hope: 
for  a  living  dog  is  better  than  a  dead  lion. 

5  For  the  living  know  that  they  shall  die :  but  'the  dead 
know  not  any  thing,  neither  have  they  any  more  a  reward ; 
for  ''the  memory  of  them  is  forgotten. 

6  Also  their  love  and  their  hatred,  and  their  envy,  is  now 
perished ;  neither  have  they  any  more  a  portion  for  ever  in 
any  thing  that  is  done  under  the  sun. 

7  ^Go  thy  way,  'eat  thy  bread  with  joy,  and  drink  thy  wine 
with  a  merry  heart ;  for  God  now  accepteth  thy  works. 

8  Let  thy  garments  be  always  white;  and  let  thy  head 
lack  no  ointment. 

9  fLive  joyfully  with  the  wife  whom  thou  lovest  all  the 
days  of  the  life  of  thy  vanity,  which  he  hath  given  thee  under 
the  sun,  all  the  days  of  thy  vanity :  •'^for  that  is  thy  portion  in 
this  life,  and  in  thy  labour  which  thou  takest  under  the  sun. 

10  Whatsoever  thy  hand  findeth  to  do,  do  it  with  thy 
might ;  for  there  is  no  work,  nor  device,  nor  knowledge,  nor 
wisdom,  in  the  grave,  whither  thou  goest. 

11  ^I  returned,  "and  saw  under  the  sun,  that  the  race  is  not 
to  the  swift,  nor  the  battle  to  the  strong,  neither  yet  bread  to 
the  wise,  nor  yet  riches  to  men  of  understanding,  nor  yet  favour 
to  men  of  skill ;  but  time  and  chance  happeneth  to  them  all. 

12  For  ''man  also  knoweth  not  his  time :  as  the  fishes  that 
are  taken  in  an  evil  net,  and  as  the  birds  that  are  caught  in 
the  snare ;  so  are  the  sons  of  men  'snared  in  an  evil  time, 
when  it  falleth  suddenly  upon  them. 

13  *(|This  wisdom  have  I  seen  also  under  the  sun,  and  it 
seemed  great  unto  me  : 

14  ''There  was  a  little  city,  and  few  men  within  it ;  and 
there  came  a  great  king  against  it,  and  besieged  it,  and 
built  great  bulwarks  against  it. 

15  Now  there  was  found  in  it  a  poor  wise  man,  and  he 
by  his  wisdom  delivered  the  city ;  yet  no  man  remembered 
that  same  poor  man. 

16  'Then  said  I,  Wisdom  is  better  than  strength:  never- 
theless "the  poor  man's  wisdom  is  despised,  and  his  words 
are  not  heard. 

17  The  words  of  wise  men  are  heard  in  quiet  more  than 
the  cry  of  him  that  ruleth  among  fools. 

1 8  "Wisdom  is  better  than  weapons  of  war  :  but  "one  sinner 
destroyeth  much  good. 

CHAPTER   X. 

Observations  of  wisdom,  folly,  riot,  and  slotH/ulness. 

tT^EAD  flies  cause  the   ointment  of  the  apothecary  to 
±J  send  forth  a  stinking  savour :  so  doth  a  little  folly  him 
that  is  in  reputation  for  wisdom  and  honour. 

2  A  wise  man's  heart  is  at  his  right  hand;  but  a  fool's 
heart  at  his  left. 

3  Yea  also,  when  he  that  is  a  fool  walketh  by  the  way,  fhis 
wisdom  faileth  him,  "and  he  saith  to  every  one  that  he  is  a  fool. 

4  If  the  spirit  of  the  ruler  rise  up  against  thee,  'leave  not 
thy  place ;  for  'yielding  paeifieth  great  offences. 

5  There  is  an  evil  which  I  have  seen  under  the  sun,  as  an 
error  which  proceedeth  ffrom  the  ruler : 

6  ''Folly  is  set  fin  great  dignity,  and  the  rich  sit  in  low  place. 

7  I  have  seen  servants  'upon  horses,  and  princes  walking 
as  servants  upon  the  eartt, 

8  -''He  that  diggeth  a  pit  shall  fall  into  it;  and  whoso 
breaketh  a  hedge,  a  serpent  shall  bite  him. 


2  All  things  come  alike  to  all :  there  is  one  event  to 
the  righteous  and  to  the  wicked ;  to  the  good  'and 
to  the  clean  and  to  the  unclean ;  to  him  that  sacri- 
ficeth and  to  him  that  sacrificeth  not :  as  is  the  good, 
so  is  the  sinner;  and  he  that  sweareth,  as  he  that 

3  feareth  an  oath.  This  is  an  evil  in  all  that  is  done 
under  the  sun,  that  there  is  one  event  unto  all :  yea 
also,  the  heart  of  the  sons  of  men  is  full  of  evil,  and 
madness  is  in  their  heart  while  they  live,  and  after 

4  that  they  go  to  the  dead.  ^For  to  him  that  is  joined

6  memory  of  them  is  forgotten.  As  well  their  love, 
as  their  hatred  and  their  envy,  is  now  perished; 
neither  have  they  any  more  a  portion  for  ever  in  any 
thing  that  is  done  under  the  sun. 

7  Go  thy  way,  eat  thy  bread  with  joy,  and  drink  thy 
wine  with  a  merry  heart;  for  God  hath  already  ac- 

8cepted  thy  works.  Let  thy  garments  be  always 
9 white;  and  let  not  thy  head  lack  ointment.  'Live 
joyfully  with  the  wife  whom  thou  lovest  all  the  days 
of  the  life  of  thy  vanity,  which  he  hath  given  thee 
under  the  sun,  all  the  days  of  thy  vanity :  for  that 
is  thy  portion  in  life,  and  in  thy  labour  wherein  thou 
lOlabourest  under  the  sun.  Whatsoever  thy  hand 
*findeth  to  do,  do  it  with  thy  might ;  for  there  is  no 
work,  nor  device,  nor  knowledge,  nor  wisdom,  in 
'the  grave,  whither  thou  goest. 

11  I  returned,  and  saw  under  the  sun,  that  the  race

an  evil  time,  when  it  falleth  suddenly  upon  them. 

13  I  have  also  seen  wisdom   under  the  sun  on  this 

14  wise,  and  it  seemed  great  unto  me :  there  was  a  lirtle 
city,  and  few  men  within  it ;  and  there  came  a  great

15warks  against  it:  now  there  was  found  in  it  a  poor

16  yet  no  man  remembered  that  same  poor  man.  Then 
said  I,  Wisdom  is  better  than  strength :  nevertheless 
the  poor  man's  wisdom  is  despised,  and  his  words

17  The  words  of  the  wise  ^spoken  in  quiet  are  heard 
more  than  the  cry  of  him  that  ruleth  among  fools 

18 Wisdom  is  better  than   weapons  of  war:   but  one 

1 A  sinner  destroyeth  much  good.     Dead  flies  cause  the 

ointment  of  the  perfumer  'to  send  forth  a  stinking 

savour :  so  doth  a  little  folly  'outweigh  wisdom  and 

2  honour.     A  wise  man's  heart  is  at  his  right  hand ;

CHAPTER  XI. 

Directions  /or  charity — The  day  of  judgment  to  be  thought  on. 

CAST  thy  bread  "t^pon  the  waters :  ""for  thou  shalt  find  it 
after  many  days. 

2  "Give  a  portion  ho  seven,  and  also  to  eight;  'for  thct; 
knowest  not  what  evil  shall  be  upon  the  earth. 

3  If  the  clouds  be  full  of  rain,  they  empty  themselves  upon 
the  earth:  and  if  the  tree  fall  toward  the  south,  or  toward 
the  north,  in  the  place  where  the  tree  falleth,  there  it  shall  be. 

4  He  that  observeth  the  wind  shall  not  sow ;  and  he  that 
regardeth  the  clouds  shall  not  reap. 

5  As  •'^thon  knowest  not  what  is  the  way  of  the  spirit,  'nor 
how  the  bones  do  grow  in  the  womb  of  her  that  is  with  child  : 
even  so  thou  knowest  not  the  works  of  God  who  maketh  all. 

6  In  the  morning  sow  thy  seed,  and  in  the  evening  with- 
hold not  thine  hand :  for  thou  knowest  not  whether  fshall 
prosper,  either  this  or  that,  or  whether  they  both  shall  be 
alike  good. 

7  ^Truly  the  light  is  sweet,  and  a  pleasant  thing  it  is  for 
the  eyes  ''to  behold  the  sun : 

8  But  if  a  man  live  many  years,  and  rejoice  in  them  all ; 
yet  let  him  remember  the  days  of  darkness ;  for  they  shall 
be  many.     All  that  cometh  is  vanity. 

9  ^Rejoice,  O  young  man,  in  thy  youth ;  and  let  thy  heart 
cheer  thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth,  'and  walk  in  the  ways 
of  thine  heart,  and  in  the  sight  of  thine  eyes :  but  know  thou, 
that  for  all  these  things  *God  will  bring  thee  into  judgment. 

10  Therefore  remove  ||  sorrow  from  thy  heart,  and  'put away 
evil  from  thy  flesh :  "'for  childhood  and  youth  are  vanity, 

CHAF-TER   XII. 

The  fear  of  God  is  the  chief  antidote  of  vanity. 

REMEMBER  "now  thy  Creator  in  the  days  of  thy  youth, 
while  the  evil  days  come  not,  nor  the  years  draw  nigh, 
""when  thou  shalt  say,  I  have  no  pleasure  in  them ; 

2  While  the  sun,  or  the  light,  or  the  moon,  or  the  stars,  be 
not  darkened,  nor  the  clouds  return  after  the  rain : 

3  In  the  day  when  the  keepers  of  the  house  shall  tremble, 
and  the  strong  men  shall  bow  themselves, and  ||  the  grinders 
cease  because  they  are  few,  and  those  that  look  out  of  the 
windows  be  darkened, 

4  And  the  doors  shall  be  shut  in  the  streets,  when  the  sound 
of  the  grinding  is  low,  and  he  shall  rise  up  at  the  voice  of  the 
bird,  and  all  "^he  daughters  of  music  shall  be  brought  low; 


9  Whoso  'heweth  out  stones  shall  be  hurt  therewith ; 
and  he  that  cleaveth  wood  is  endangered  thereby. 

10  If  the  iron  be  blunt,  and  one  do  not  whet  the  edge, 
then  must  he  put  to  more  strength:  but  wisdom  is 

11  profitable  to  direct.  ^If  the  serpent  bite  ^before  it  be 
charmed,  then  is  there  no  advantage  in  *the  charmer. 

12 The  words  of  a  wise  man's  mouth  are  gracious;  but 

13  the  lips  of  a  fool  will  swallow  up  himself.  The  begin- 
ning of  the  words  of  his  mouth  is  foolishness :  and 

14  the  end  of  'his  talk  is  mischievous  madness.  A  fool 
also  multiplieth  words:  yet  man  knoweth  not  what 
shall  be ;  and  that  which  shall  be  after  him,  who  can 

16 tell  him?    The  labour  of  fools  wearieth  every  one 

of  them,  for  he  knoweth  not  how  to  go  to  the  city. 

16  Woe  to  thee,  O  land,  when  thy  king  is  a  ^child,  and 

17 thy  princes  eat  in  the  morning!     Happy  art  thou, 

O  land,  when  thy  king  is  "the  son  of  nobles,  and  thy 

princes  eat  in  due  season,  for  strength,  and  not  for 

18  drunkenness!  By  slothfulness  the  "roof  sinketh  in; 
and  through  idleness  of  the  hands  the  house  leaketh. 

19  A  fea.st  is  made  for  laughter,  and  wine  maketh  glad 

20  the  life :  and  money  answereth  all  things.  Curse  not 
the  king,  no,  not  in  thy  thought;  and  curse  not  the 
rich  in  thy  bedchamber :  for  a  bird  of  the  air  shall 
carry  the  voice,  and  that  which  hath  wings  shall 
tell  the  matter. 

iJ-  'Cast  thy  bread  '"upon  the  waters ;   tor  thou  shalt 

2  find  it  after  many  days.  "Give  a  portion  to  seven, 
yea,  even  unto  eight ;  for  thou  knowest  not  what 

3  evil  shall  be  upon  the  earth.  If  the  clouds  be  full 
of  rain,  they  empty  themselves  upon  the  earth  :  and 
if  a  tree  fall  ""toward  the  south,  or  "toward  the  north, 
in  the  place  where  the  tree  falleth,  there  shall  it  be. 

4  He  that  obser\'eth  the  wind  shall  not  sow ;  and  he 

5  that  regardeth  the  clouds  shall  not  reap.  As  thou 
knowest  not  what  is  the  way  of  the  "wind,  nor  how 
the  bones  do  grorus  in  the  womb  of  her  that  is  with 

.  child ;  even  so  thou  knowest  not  the  work  of  God 

6  who  doeth  all.  In  the  morning  sow  thy  seed,  and 
in  the  evening  withhold  not  thine  hand:  for  thou 
knowest  -not  which  shall  prosper,  whether  this  or 
that,   or  whether    they   both    shall  be   alike  good 

7  Truly  the  light  is  sweet,  and  a  pleasant  thing  it  is 

8  for  the  eyes  to  behold  the  sun.  "Yea,  if  a  man  live 
many  years,  let  him  rejoice  in  them  all ;  ''but  let  him 
remember  the  days  of  darkness,  for  they  shall  be 
many.     All  that  cometh  is  vanity. 

9  Rejoice,  O  young  man,  in  thy  youth ;  and  let  thy 
heart  cheer  thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth,  and  walk 
in  the  ways  of  thine  heart,  and  in  the  sight  of  thine 
eyes :  but  know  thou,  that  for  all  these  things  God 

lOwill  bring  thee  into  judgement.  Therefore  remove 
''sorrow  from  thy  heart,  and  put  away  evil  from  thy 

lO  flesh;  for  youth  and  the  prime  of  life  are  vanity.  Re- 
member also  thy  Creator  in  the  days  of  thy  youth, 
or  ever  the  evil  days  come,  and  the  years  draw  nigh, 
when  thou  shalt  say,  I  have  no  pleasure  in  them ; 

2  or  ever  the  sun,  and  the  light,  and  the  moon,  and 
the  stars,  be  darkened,  and  the  clouds  return  after 

3  the  rain :  in  the  day  when  the  keepers  of  the 
house  shall  tremble,  and  the  strong  men  shall 
bow  themselves,  and  the  "grinders  cea.se  because 
they  are  few,  and  those  that  look  out  of  the  win-

words:  and  that  which  was  written  was  upright,  even 
words  of  truth.

from  one  shepherd.

of  making  many  books  there  is  no  end;  and  'much 
1 1  study  is  a  weariness  of  the  flesh. 

13  mi  Let  us  hear  the  conclusion  of  the  whole  mat- 
ter: "Fear  God,  and  keep  his  comnaandments :  for  this 
is  the  whole  duty  of  man. 

14  For  "God  shall  bring  every  work  into  judgment, 
with  every  secret  thing,  whether  it  be  good,  or  wnether 
it  be  eviL 


5  yea,  they  shall  be  afraid  'of  thai  which  is  high,  and 
terrors  shall  be  in  the  way;  and  the  almond  tree  shall 
blossom,  and  the  grasshopper  'shall  be  a  burden,  and 
'the  caper-berry  shall  *fail:    because  man  goeth  to  his 

6  long  home,  and  the  mourners  go  about  the  streets:  or 
ever  the  silver  cord  be  'loosed,  or  the  golden  bowl  be 
broken,  or  the  pitcher  be  broken  at  the  fountain,  or  the 

7  wheel  broken  at  the  cistern ;  and  the  dust  return  to  the 
earth   as  it  was,  and  the   spirit  return  unto  God  who 

8 gave  it.     Vanity  of  vanities,  .saith  the  Preacher;  all  is 

vanity. 
9     And  further,  because  the  Preacher  was  wise,  he  still 

taught  the  people  knowledge;   yea,  he  'pondered,  and 

10  sought  out,  and  set  in  order  many  proverbs.  The 
Preacher  sought  to  find  out  'acceptable  words,  and  that 
which  was  written  uprightly,  even  words  of  truth.

SONG  OF  SOLOMON. 


CHAPTER  I. 

The  churches  love  to  Christ. 

THE  "Song  of  songs,  which  is  Sol'o-mon's. 
2  Let  him  kiss  me  with  the  kisses  of  his  mouth ; 
"■for  tthy  love  is  better  than  wine. 

3  Because  of  the  savour  of  thy  good  ointments  thy 
name  is  as  ointment  poured  forth,  therefore  do  the 
virgins  love  thee. 

4  ''Draw  me,  ''we  will  run  after  thee :  the  King  "hath 
brought  me  into  his  chambers:  we  will  be  glad  and 
rejoice  in  thee,  we  will  remember  thy  love  more  than 
wine:  ||the  upright  love  thee. 

5  I  am  black,  but  comely,  O  ye  daughters  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem,  as  the  tents  of  Ke'dar,  as  the  curtains  of  Sol'- 
o-mon. 

6  Look  not  upon  me,  because  I  am  black,  because 
the  sun  hath  looked  upon  me :  my  mother's  children 
were  angry  with  me ;  they  made  me  the  keeper  of 
the  vineyards ;  bwt  mine  own  vineyard  have  I  not 
kept. 

7  Tell  me,  O  thou  whom  my  soul  loveth,  where  thou 
feedest,  where  thou  makest  thy  flock  to  rest  at  noon : 
for  why  should  I  be  ||as  one  that  turneth  aside  by  the 
flocks  of  thy  companions? 

8  ^If  thou  know  not,  ^O  thou  fairest  among  women, 
go  thy  way  forth  by  the  footsteps  of  the  flock,  and  feed 
thy  kids  beside  the  shepherds'  tents. 

9  I  have  compared  thee,  "O  my  love,  *to  a  company 
of  horses  in  Pha'raoh's  chariots.

2  Let  him  kiss  me  with  the  kisses  of  his  mouth : 
For  thy  love  is  better  than  wine. 

3  Thine  ointments  have  a  goodly  fragrance ; 
Thy  name  is  as  ointment  poured  forth; 
Therefore  do  the  'virgins  love  thee. 

4  Draw  me ;  we  will  run  after  thee : 

The  king  hath  brought  me  into  his  chambers: 

We  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  thee.

6  Look  not  upon  me,  because  I  am  swarthy,

My  mother's  sons  were  incensed  against  me, 
They  made  me  keeper  of  the  vineyards ; 
But  mine  own  vineyard  have  I  not  kept.

2  As  the  lily  among  thorns,  so  is  my  love  among  the 
daughters. 

3  As  the  apple  tree  among  the  trees  of  the  wood,  so 
is  my  beloved  among  the  sons,  fl  sat  down  under 
his  shadow  with  great  delight,  "and  his  fruit  was  sweet 
to  my  ftaste. 

4  He  brought  me  to  the  fbanqueting  house,  and  his 
banner  over  me  was  love. 

5  Stay  me  with  flagons,  fcomfort  me  with  apples: 
for  I  am  sick  of  love. 

6  'His  left  hand  is  under  my  head,  and  his  right

8  HThe  voice  of  my  beloved !  behold,  he  cometh 
leaping  upon  the  mountains,  skipping  upon  the  hills. 

9  ''My  beloved  is  like  a  roe,  or  a  young  hart: 
behold,  he  standeth  behind  our  wall,  he  looketh 
forth  at  the  windows,  fshewing  himself  through  the 
lattice. 

10  ^My  beloved  spake,  and  said  unto  me,  'Rise  up, 
my  love,  my  fair  one,  and  come  away. 

11  For  lo,  the  winter  is  past,  the  rain  is  over  and 
gone;

singing  of  birds  is  come,  and  the  voice  of  the  turtle  is 
heard  in  our  land ;

and  thy  countenance  is  comely.

vines :  for  our  vines  have  tender  grapes.

17  *Until  the  day  break,  and  the  shadows  flee  away,

CHAFTER    III. 

The  church's  victory. 

BY  "night  on  my  bed  I  sought  him  whom  my  soul 
Joveth  :  I  sought  him,  but  I  found  him  not. 
2  I     will     rise     now,     and     go     about     the     city 


10  Thy  cheeks  are  comely  with  plaits  of  hair, 
Thy  neck  with  strings  of  jewels. 

11  We  will  make  thee  plaits  of  gold. 
With  studs  of  silver. 

1 2  While  the  king  sat  at  his  table. 

My  spikenard  sent  forth  its  fragrance. 

13  My  beloved  is  unto  me  as  a  'bundle  of  myrrh, 
That  lieth  betwixt  my  breasts. 

14  My  beloved  is  unto  me  as  a  cluster  of  ^henna-flowers 
In  the  vineyards  of  En-ge'di. 

15 Behold,  thou  art  fair,  my  love;  behold,  thou  art  fair; 
'Thine  eyes  are  as  doves. 

16  Behold,  thou  art  fair,  my  beloved,  yea,  pleasant : 
Also  our  couch  is  green. 

17  The  beams  of  our  *house  are  'cedars, 
And  our  rafters  are  'firs. 

^  I  am  a  ^rose  of  'Shar'on, 
A  lily  of  the  valleys. 

2  As  a  lily  among  thorns. 

So  is  my  love  among  the  daughters. 

3  As  the  apple  tree  among  the  trees  of  the  wood, 
So  is  my  beloved  among  the  sons. 

'I  sat  down  under  his  shadow  with  great  delight. 
And  his  fruit  was  sweet  to  my  taste. 

4  He  brought  me  to  the  '"banqueting  house. 
And  his  banner  over  me  was  love. 

5  Stay  ye  me  with  "raisins,  comfort  me  with  apples : 
For  I  am  sick  of  love. 

6  '^His  left  hand  is  under  my  head. 
And  his  right  hand  doth  embrace  me. 

7  I  adjure  you,  O  daughters  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
By  the  "roes,  and  by  the  hinds  of  the  field, 
That  ye  stir  not  up,  nor  awaken  love. 
Until  it  please. 

8  The  voice  of  my  beloved !  behold,  he  cometh. 
Leaping  upon  the  mountains,  skipping  upon  the  hills. 

9  My  beloved  is  like  a  "roe  or  a  young  hart : 
Behold,  he  standeth  behind  our  wall. 

He  looketh  in  at  the  windows. 

He  '^sheweth  himself  through  the  lattice. 

10  My  beloved  spake,  and  said  unto  me. 

Rise  up,  my  love,  my  fair  one,  and  come  away. 

11  For,  lo,  the  winter  is  past. 
The  rain  is  over  and  gone ; 

12 The  flowers  appear  on  the  earth; 

The  time  of  tne  '^singing  of  birds  is  come. 

And  the  voice  of  the  turtle  is  heard  in  our  land ; 
13  The  fig  tree  ripeneth  her  green  figs. 

And  the  vines  are  in  blossom. 

They  give  forth  their  fragrance. 

Arise,  my  love,  my  fair  one,  and  come  away. 
140  my  dove,  that  art  in  the  clefts  of  the  rock,  in  the  covert 
of  the  steep  niacc. 

Let  me  see  cny  countenance,  let  me  hear  thy  voice ; 

For  sweet  is  thy  voice,  and  thy  countenance  is  comely. 

15  Take  us  the  foxes,  the  little  foxes,  that  spoil  the  vineyards; 
For  our  vineyards  are  in  blossom. 

16  My  beloved  is  mine,  and  I  am  his: 
He  feedeth  his  flock  among  the  lilies. 

17  "Until  the  day  '*be  cool,  and  the  shadows  flee  away. 
Turn,  my  beloved,  and  be  thou  like  a  '*roe  or  a  young  hart 
Upon  the  "mountains  of  ^Be'ther. 

^  By  night  on  my  bed  I  sought  him  whom  my  soul  loveth  :

9  King  Sol'o-mon  made  himself  a  Ij  chariot  of  the  wood

fair;  thou  hast  doves'  eyes  within  thy  locks:  thy 
hair  ts  as  a  ''flock  of  goats,  ||  that  appear  from  mount

is  comely:  ''thy  temples  are  like  a  piece  of  a  pome- 
granate within  thy  locks.

an  armoury,  whereon  there  hang  a  thousand  bucklers, 
all  shields  of  mighty  men. 

5  "Thy  two  breasts  are  like  two  young  roes  that  are 
twins,  which  feed  among  the  lilies. 

6  *Until  the  day  fbreak,  and  the  shadows  flee  away, 
I  will  get  me  to  the  mountain  of  myrrh,  and  to  the  hill

CHAPTER  V. 

Christ  awaketh  the  church  with  his  catling. 

I  "AM  come  into  my  garden,  my  sister,  my  spouse: 
I  have  gathered  my  myrrh  with  my  spice;  ''I  have 
eaten  my  honeycomb  with  my  honey;  I  have  drunk 
my  wine  with  my  milk:  eat,  O  'friends;  drink,  Hyea, 
drink  abundantly,  O  beloved. 

2  ^I  sleep,  but  my  heart  waketh:  it  is  the  voice  of 
my  ''beloved  that  knocketh,  saying,  Open  to  me,  my 
sister,  my  love,  my  dove,  my  undefiled:  for  my  head 
is  filled  with  dew,  and  my  locks  with  the  drops  of  the 
night. 

3  I  have  put  off  my  coat;  how  shall  I  put  it  on?  I 
have  washed  my  feet ;  how  shall  I  defile  them  ? 

4  My  beloved  put  in  his  hand  by  the  hole  of  the  door, 
and  my  bowels  were  moved  ||  for  him. 

5  I  rose  up  to  open  to  my  beloved ;  and  my  hands 
dropped  with  myrrh,  and  my  fingers  with  fsweet  smell- 
ing myrrh,  upon  the  handles  of  the  lock. 

6  I  opened  to  my  beloved ;  but  my  beloved  had  with- 
drawn himself,  and  was  gone :  my  soul  failed  when  he 
spake :  *I  sought  him,  but  I  could  not  find  him ;  I 
called  him,  but  he  gave  me  no  answer. 

7  -^The  watchmen  that  went  about  the  city  found  me, 
they  smote  me,  they  wounded  me:  the  keepers  of  the 
walls  took  away  my  veil  from  me. 

8  I  charge  you,  O  daughters  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  if  ye 
find  my  beloved,  fthat  ye  tell  him,  that  I  am  sick 
of  love. 

9  ^What  w  thy  beloved  more  than  another  be- 
loved, 'O  thou  fairest  among  women?  what  is  thy 
beloved  more  than  another  beloved,  that  thou  dost  so 
charge  us? 

10  My  beloved  is  white  and  ruddy,  fthe  chiefest 
among  ten  thousand. 

11  His  head  is  as  the  most  fine  gold,  his  locks  are 
II bushy,  and  black  as  a  raven: 

12  ''His  eyes  are  as  the  eyes  of  doves  by  the  rivers  of 
waters,  washed  with  milk,  and  ffitly  set: 

13  His  cheeks  are  as  a  bed  of  spices,  as  \\  sweet 
flowers :  his  lips  like  lilies,  dropping  sweet  smelling 
myrrh : 

14  His  hands  are  as  gold  rings  set  with  the  beryl :  his 
belly  is  as  bright  ivory  overlaid  m<A  sapphires: 

15  His  legs  are  as  pillars  of  marble,  set  upon  sockets 
of  fine  gold :'  his  countenance  is  as  Leb'a-non,  excel- 
lent as  the  cedars : 

16  fHis  mouth  is  most  sweet:  yea,  he  is  altogether 
lovely.  This  is  my  beloved,  and  this  is  my  friend,  O 
daMghters  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


11  Thy  lips,  O  my  bride,  'drop  as  the  honeycomb: 
Honey  and  milk  are  under  thy  tongue; 

And  the  smell  of  thy  garments  is  like  the  smell  of  Leb'a-non. 

12  A  garden  %hut  up  is  my  sister,  my  bride; 
A  'spring  shut  up,  a  fountain  sealed. 

13  Thy    shoots    are    *an    orchard    of   pomegranateti,   with 

precious  fruits ; 
Henna  with  spikenard  plants, 

14  Spikenard  and  saffron. 

Calamus  and  cinnamon,  with  all  trees  of  frankincense ; 
Myrrh  and  aloes,  with  all  the  chief  spices. 

15  Thou  art  a  fountain  of  gardens, 
A  well  of  living  waters. 

And  flowing  streams  from  Leb'a-non. 

16  Awake,  O  north  wind;  and  come,  thou  south; 

Blow  upon  my  garden,  that  the  spices  thereof  may  flow  out. 
Let  my  beloved  come  into  his  garden. 
And  eat  his  precious  fruits. 

O  I  am  come  into  my  garden,  my  sLster,  my  bride : 
I  have  gathered  my  myrrh  with  my  'spice; 
I  have  eaten- my  honeycomb  with  my  honey; 
I  have  drunk  my  wine  with  my  milk. 
Eat,  O  friends; 
Drink,  yea,  drink  abundantly,  *0  beloved. 

2  ^I  was  asleep,  but  my  heart  waked : 

It  is  the  voice  of  my  beloved  that  knocketh,  saying, 

Open  to  me,  my  sister,  my  love,  my  dove,  my  *undefiled : 

For  my  head  is  filled  with  dew. 

My  locks  with  the  drops  of  the  night. 
31  have  put  off  my  coat;  how  shall  I  put  it  on? 

I  have  washed  my  feet ;  how  shall  I  defile  them? 
4  My  beloved  put  in  his  hand  by  the  hole  of  the  door, 

And  my  'heart  was  moved  '"for  him. 
5 1  rose  up  to  open  to  my  beloved ; 

And  my  hands  dropped  with  myrrh, 
.  And  my  fingers  with  liquid  myrrh,  , 

Upon  the  handles  of  the  bolt. 
6 1  opened  to  my  beloved ; 

But  my  beloved  had  "withdrawn  himself  and  was  gone. 

My  soul  "had  failed  me  when  he  spake : 

I  sought  him,  but  I  could  not  find  him ; 

I  called  him,  but  he  gave  me  no  answer. 
7  The  watchmen  that  go  about  the  city  found  me. 

They  smote  me,  they  wounded  me; 

The  keepers  of  the  walls  took  away  my  '^mantle  from  me. 
8 1  adjure   you,  O   daughters   of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  if  ye  find 
my  beloved, 

'*That  ye  tell  him,  that  I  am  sick  of  love. 
9  What  is  thy  beloved  more  than  another  beloved, 

O  thou  fairest  among  women  ? 

What  is  thy  beloved  more  than  another  beloved. 

That  thou  dost  so  adjure  us? 

10  My  beloved  is  white  and  ruddy, 
"The  chieftest  among  ten  thousand. 

11  His  head  is  as  the  most  fine  gold. 

His  locks  are  '*bushy,  and  black  as  a  raven. 
12 His  eyes  are  like  doves  beside  the  water  brooks; 

Washed  with  milk,  and  "fitly  set. 
13  His  cheeks  are  as  a  bed  of  '"spices,  as  "banks  of  sweetherbs: 

His  lips  are  as  lilies,  dropping  liquid  myrrii. 
14 His  hands  are  a«^rings  of  gold  set  with^'beryl: 

His  body  is  as  ^^ivory  work  "overlaid  icith  sapphires. 
15  His  legs  are  as  pillars  of  marble,  set  upon  sockets  of  fine  gold: 

His  aspect  is  like  Leb'a-non,  excellent  as  the  cedars. 
16 His  ** mouth  is  most  sweet:  yea,  he  is  altogether  lovely. 

This  is  my  beloved,  and  this  is  my  friend, 

O  daughters  of  Je-ru'salem.

CHAPTER  VI. 

The  chu-rch  professeth  her  faith  in  Chrisi 

WHITHER   is   thy   beloved   gone,  "O  thou  fairest 
among   women?    whither   is  thy  beloved  turned 
aside  ?  that  we  may  seek  him  with  thee. 

2  My  beloved  is  gone  down  into  his  garden,  to  the 
beds  of  spices,  to  feed  in  the  gardens,  and  to  gather 
lilies. 

3  ''I  am  my  beloved's  and  my  beloved  is  mine :  he 
feedeth  among  the  lilies. 

4  ^Thpu  art  beautiful,  O  my  love,  as  Tir'zah,  comely 
as  Je-ru'sa-lsm,  "terrible  as  an  army  with  banners. 

5  Turn  away  thine  eyes  from  me,  for  l|they  have 
overcome  me :  thy  hair  is  ''as  a  flock  of  goats  that 
appear  from  Gil'e-ad. 

6  "Thy  teeth  are  as  a  flock  of  sheep  which  go  up  from 
the  washing,  whereof  every  one  beareth  twins,  and  there 
is  not  one  barren  among  them. 

7  •'^As  a  piece  of  a  pomegranate  are  thy  temples  within 
thy  locks. 

8  There  are  threescore  queens,  and  fourscore  concu- 
bines, and  virgins  without  number. 

9  My  dove,'  my  undefiled  is  but  one;  she  is  the 
only  one  of  her  mother,  she  is  the  choice  one  of  her 
that  bare  her.  The  daughters  saw  her  and  blessed 
her;  yea,  the  queens  and  the  concubines,  and  they 
praised  her. 

10  ^Who  is  she  that  looketh  forth  as  the  morning, 
fair  as  the  moon;  clear  as  the  sun,  'and  terrible  as  an  army 
with  banners? 

Ill  went  down  into  the  garden  of  nuts  to  see  the  fruits 
of  the  valley,  and  Ho  see  whether  the  vine  flourished, 
and  the  pomegranates  budded. 

12  fOr  ever'  I  was  aware,  my  soul  ||  made  me  like  the 
chariots  of  Am-min'a-dib. 

13  Return,  return,  O  Shu'lam-ite;  return,  return, 
that  we  may  look  upon  thee.  What  will  ye  see  in 
the  Shu'lam-ite?  As  it  were  the  company  ||of  two 
armies. 

CHAPTER    VII. 

A  further  description  of  the  churches  graces. 

HOW  beautiful  are  thy  feet  with  shoes,  "O  prince's 
daughter !  the  joints  of  thy  thighs  are  like  jewels, 
the  work  of  the  hands  of  a  cunning  workman. 

2  Thy  navel  is  like  a  round  goblet,  which  wanteth  not 
fliquor;  thy  belly  is  like  a  heap  of  wheat  set  about 
w^^;-:  lilies. 

3  'Thy  two  breasts  are  like  two  young  roes  thai  are 
twins. 

4  "Thy  :  „ck  is  as  a  tower  of  ivory;  thine  eyes  like 
the  fish  pools  in  Hesh'bon,  by  the  gate  of  Bath-rab'bim : 
thy  nose  is  as  the  tower  of  Leb'a-non  which  looketh 
toward  Da~mas'cus. 

5  Thine  head  upon  thee  ss  like  ||Car'mel,  and  the  hair 
of  thine  head  like  purple ;  the  King  is  f  held  in  the 
galleries. 

6  How  fair  and  how  pleasant  art  thou,  O  love,  for 
delights ! 

7  This  thy  stature  is  like  to  a  palm  tree,  and  thy  breasts 
to  clusters  of  grapes. 

8  I  said,  I  will  go  up  to  the  palm  tree,  I  will  take 
hold  of  the  boughs  thereof:  now  also  thy  breasts  shall 
be  as  clufBters  of  the  vine,  and  the  smell  of  thy  nose 
like  apples; 


0  Whither  is  thy  beloved  gone, 
O  thou  fairest  among  women  ? 
Whither  hath  thy  beloved  turned  him, 
That  we  may  seek  him  with  thee  ? 

2  My  beloved  is  gone  down  to  his  garden, to  the  bedsof 'spices, 
To  feed  in  the  gardens,  and  to  gather  lilies. 

3  ^I  am  my  beloved's,  and  my  beloved  is  mine : 
He  feedeth  his  flock  among  the  lilies. 

4  Thou  art  beautiful,  O  my  love,  as  Tir'zah, 
Comely  as  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

Terrible  as  ^an  army  with  banners. 

5  Turn  away  thine  eyes  from  me. 
For  they  *have  overcome  me. 
'Thy  hair  is  as  a  flock  of  goats. 
That  lie  along  the  side  of  Gil'e-ad. 

6  'Thy  teeth  are  like  a  flock  of  eweSj 
Which  are  come  up  from  the  washing ; 
Whereof  every  one  hath  twins. 

And  none  is  bereaved  among  them. 

7  ^Thy  temples  are  like  a  piece  of  a  pomegranate 
Behind  thy  veil. 

8  There  are  threescore  queens,  and  fourscore  concubines, 
And  ^virgins  without  number. 

9  My  dove,  my  'undefiled,  is  but  one ; 
She  is  the  only  one  of  her  mother ; 

She  is  the  '"choice  one  of  her  that  bare  her. 

The  daughters  saw  her,  and  called  her  blessed; 

Yea,  the  queens  and  the  concubines,  and  they  praised  her. 
10  Who  is  she  that  looketh  forth  as  the  morning, 

Fair  as  the  moon, 

"Clear  as  the  sun, 

'^Terrible  as  an  army  with  banners? 
Ill  went  down  into  the  garden  of  nuts, 

To  see  the  green  plants  of  the  valley, 

To  see  whether  the  vine  budded. 

And  the  pomegranates  were  in  flower. 

12  Or  ever  I  was  aware,  my  "soul  "set  me 

Among  the  chariots  of  my  "princely  people.  ^ 

13  Return,  return,  O  Shu'lam-mite ; 

Return,  return,  that  we  may  look  upon  thee. 
Why  will  ye  look  upon  the  Shu'lam-mite, 
As  upon  the  dance  "of  Ma-ha-na'im  ? 

/How  beautiful  are  thy  ''feet  in  sandals,  O  prince's  daughter ! 
"The  joints  of  thy  thighs  are  like  jewels. 
The  work  of  the  hands  of  a  cunning  workman.  - 

2  Thy  navel  is  like  a  round  goblet. 
Wherein  no  mingled  wine  is  wanting: 
Thy  belly  is  like  an  heap  of  wheat 
Set  about  with  lilies. 

3  "Thy  two  breasts  are  like  two  fawns 
That  are  twins  of  a  roe. 

4  Thy  neck  is  like  the  tower  of  ivory ; 

Thine  eyes  as  the  pools  in  Hesh'bon,  by  the  gate  of  Bath- 
rab'bim  ; 
Thy  nose  is  like  the  tower  of  Leb'a-non 
Which  looketh  toward  Da-mas'cus. 

5  Thine  head  upon  thee  is  like  Car'mel, 
And  the  hair  of  thine  head  ^like  purple  ; 

The  king  is  held  captive  in  the  tresses  thereof. 

6  How  feir  and  how  pleasaut.  art  thou,  - 

0  love,  for  delights ! 

7  This  thy  stature  is  like  to  a  palm  tree, 
And  thy  breasts  to  clusters  of  grapes. 

8 1  said,  I  will  climb  up  into  the  palm  tree, 

1  will  take  hold  of  the  branches  thereof: 
Let  thy  breasts  be  as  clusters  of  the  vine. 
And  the  smell  of  thy  ^'breath  like  apples ;

9  And  the  roof  of  thy  mouth  like  the  best  wine  for 
my  beloved,  that  goeth  dotmi  fsweetly,  causing  the  lips 
1 1  of  those  that  are  asleep  to  speak. 

10  ^''I  am  my  beloved's,  and  'his  desire  is  toward 
me. 

11  Come,  my  beloved,  let  us  go  forth  into  the  field ; 
let  us  lodge  in  the  villages. 

12  Let  us  get  up  early  to  the  vineyards;  let  us  ■''see 
if  the  vine  flourish,  whether  the  tender  grape  fappear, 
and  the  pomegranates  bud  forth :  there  will  I  give  thee 
my  loves. 

13  The  "mandrakes  give  a  smell,  and  at  our  gates  ''are 
all  manner  of  pleasant /rm'fe,  new  and  old,  which  I  have 
laid  up  for  thee,  O  my  beloved. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

The  love  of  the  church  is  Christ. 

OTHAT  thou  wert  as  my  brother,  that  sucked 
the  breast  of  my  mother!  when  I  should  find  thee 
without,  I  would  kiss  thee;  yea,  fl  should  not  be 
despised. 

2  I  would  lead  thee,  and  bring  thee  into  my  mother's 
house,  who  would  instruct  me:  I  would  cause  thee 
to  drink  of  "spiced  wine  of  the  juice  of  my  pome- 
granate. 

3  'His  left  hand  should  be  under  my  head,  and  his  right 
hand  should  embrace  me. 

4  "I  charge  you,  O  daughters  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  fthat  ye 
stir  not  up,  nor  awake  my  love,  until  he  please. 

5  ''Who  is  this  that  cometh  up  from  the  wilder- 
ness, leaning  upon  her  beloved  ?  I  raised  thee  up 
under  the  apple  tree:  there  thy  mother  brought 
thee  forth:  there  she  brought  thee  forth  that  bare 
thee. 

6  ^'Set  me  as  a  seal  upon  thine  heart,  as  a  seal  upon 
thine  arm:  for  love  is  strong  as  death;  jealousy  is  f cruel 
as  the  grave :  the  coals  thereof  are  coals  of  fire,  which 
hath  a  most  vehement  flame. 

7  Many  waters  cannot  quench  love,  neither  can  the 
floods  drown  it :  •''if  a  man  would  give  all  the  sub- 
stance of  his  house  for  love,  it  would  utterly  be  con- 
temned. 

8  ^"We  have  a  little  sister,  and  she  hath  no  breasts : 
what  shall  we  do  for  our  sister  in  the  day  when  she  shall 
be  spoken  for? 

9  If  she  be  a  wall,  we  will  build  upon  her  a  palace  of 
silver:  and  if  she  be  a  door,  we  will  enclose  her  with 
boards  of  cedar. 

10  I  am  a  wall,  and  my  breasts  like  towers :  then  was 
I  in  his  eyes  as  one  that  found  ffavour. 

11  Sol'o-mon  had  a  vineyard  at  Ba'al-ha'mon ;  ""he 
let  out  the  vineyard  unto  keepers;  every  one  for 
the  fruit  thereof  was  to  bring  a  thousand  pieces  of 
silver. 

12  My  vineyard  which  is  mine,  is  before  me :  thou,  O 
Sol'o-mon,  must  have  a  thousand,  and  those  that  keep 
the  fruit  thereof  two  hundred. 

13  Thou  that  dwellest  in  the  gardens,  the  companions 
hearken  to  thy  voice :  'cause  me  to  hear  it. 

14  ^*fMake  haste,  my  beloved,  and  'he  thou  like 
to  a  roe  or  to  a  young  hart  upon  the  mountains  of 
spices. 


9  And  thy  'mouth  like  the  best  wine. 
That  goeth  down  ^smoothly  for  my  beloved, 
^Gliding  through  the  lips  of  those  that  are  asleep. 

101  am  my  beloved's. 

And  his  desire  is  toward  me. 

11  Come,  my  beloved,  let  us  go  forth  into  the  fielc; 
Let  us  lodge  in  the  villages. 

12  Let  us  get  up  early  to  the  vineyards; 

Let  us  see  whether  the  vine  hath  budded,  and  *its  blos- 
som be  open. 
And  the  pomegranates  be  in  flower: 
There  will  I  give  thee  my  love. 

13  The  'mandrakes  give  forth  fragrance. 

And  *at  our  doors  are  all  manner  of  precious  fruits,  new 

and  old. 
Which  I  have  laid  up  for  thee,  O  my  beloved. 

O  Oh  that  thou  wert  as  my  brother, 

That  sucked  the  breasts  of  my  mother! 

When  I  should  find  thee  without,  I  would  kiss  thee ; 

Yea,  and  no^e  would  despise  me. 
2 1  would  lead  thee,  and  bring  thee  into  my  mother's  house, 

^Who  would  instruct  me ; 

I  would  cause  thee  to  drink  of  spiced  wine, 

Of  the  *juice  of  my  pomegranate. 
3 'His  left  hand  should  be  under  my  head, 

And  his  right  hand  should  embrace  me. 

4 1  adjure  you,  O  daughters  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
'"That  ye  stir  not  up,  nor  awaken  love. 
Until  it  please. 

5  Who  is  this  that  cometh  up  from  the  wilderness. 
Leaning  upon  her  beloved? 

Under  the  apple  tree  I  avakened  thee: 
There  thy  mother  was  in  travail  with  thee. 
There  was  she  in  travail  "that  brought  thee  forth. 

6  Set  me  as  a  seal  upon  thine  heart,  as  a  seal  upon  thine  arm : 
For  love  is  strong  as  death; 

Jealousy  is  '^cruel  as  '^he  grave: 
The  flashes  thereof  are  flashes  of  fire, 
"A  very  flame  of  "the  Lord. 

7  Many  waters  cannot  quench  love. 
Neither  can  the  floods  drown  it: 

If  a  man  would  give  all  the  substance  of  his  house  for  love, 
''He  would  utterly  be  contemned. 

8  We  have  a  little  sister. 
And  she  hath  no  breasts: 
What  shall  we  do  for  our  sister 

In  the  day  when  she  shall  be  spoken  for? 

9  If  she  be  a  wall. 

We  will  build  upon  her  "a  turret  of  silver  : 

And  if  she  be  a  door, 

We  will  inclose  her  with  boards  of  cedar. 
101  "am  a  wall,  and  my  breasts  like  the  towers  thereof: 

Then  was  I  in  his  eyes  as  one  that  found  peace. 
11  Sol'o-mon  had  a  vineyard  at  Ba'al-ha'mon; 

He  let  out  the  vineyard  unto  keepers; 

Every  one  for  the  fruit  thereof  was  to  bring  a  thousand 
piece.s  of  silver. 
12 My  vineyard  which  is  mine,  is  before  me: 

Thou,  O  Sol'o-mon,  shalt  have  the  thousand. 

And  those  that  keep  the  fruit  thereof  two  hundred. 
13  Thou  that  dwellest  in  the  gardens. 

The  companions  hearken  "for  thy  voice 

Cause  me  to  hear  it. 
14*Make  hasta,  my  beloved. 

And  be  thou  like  to  a  ^'roe  or  to  a  young  hart 

Upon  the  mountains  of  spices.

ISAIAH. 


CHAPTER  I. 

Isaiah  complaineth  of  Judak  for  her  rebellion. 

THE   "vision   of  I-sa'iah-  the   son   of  A'moz,  which   he 
saw  coE  jerning  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  the  days  of 
Uz-zi'ah,  Jo'tham,  A'haz,  and  Hez-e-ki'ah,  kings  of  Ju'dah. 

2  ''Hear,  O  heavens,  and  give  ear,  O  earth :  for  the  Lord 
hath  spoken ;  "I  have  nourished  and  brought  up  children, 
and  they  have  rebelled  against  me. 

3  ''The  ox  knoweth  his  owner,  and  the  ass  his  master's  crib : 
hut  Is'ra-el  'doth  not  know,  my  people  -^doth  not  consider. 

4  Ah  sinful  nation,  a  people  fladen  with  iniquity,  "a 
seed  of  evil  doers,  children  that  are  corrupters :  they 
have  for.saken  the  Lord,  they  have  provoked  the  Holy 
One  of  Is'ra-el  unto  anger,  they  are  tg^^^  away  backward. 

5  ^''Why  should  ye  be  stricken  any  more?  ye  will 
frevolt  more  and  more :  the  whole  head  is  sick,  and  the 
whole  heart  faint. 

6  From  the  sole  of  lue  foot  f  ;en  unto  the  head  there  is 
no  soundness  in  it;  but  wounds,  and  bruises,  and  putri- 
fying  sores:  'they  have  not  been  closed,  neither  bound 
up,  neither  mollified  with  ||  ointment. 

7  *Your  country  is  desolate,  your  cities  are  burned  with 
fire :  your  land,  strangers  devour  it  in  your  presence,  and 
it  is  desolate,  fas  overthrown  by  strangers. 

8  And  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  is  left  'as  a  cottage  in  a 
vineyard,  as  a  lodge  in  a  garden  of  cucumbers,  "'as  a 
besieged  city. 

9  "Except  the  Lord  of  hosts  had  left  unto  us  a  very 
small  remnant,  we  should  have  been  as  "Sod'om,  and  we 
should  have  been  like  unto  Go-mor'rah. 

10  ^Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  rulers  ''of  Sod'om : 
give  ear  unto  the  law  of  our  God,  ye  people  of  Go-mor'rah. 

11  To  what  purpose  is  the  multitude  of  your  'sacrifices 
unto  me  ?  saith  the  Lord  :  I  am  full  of  the  burnt  offer- 
ings of  rams,  and  the  fat  of  fed  beasts ;  and  I  delight  not 
in  the  blood  of  bullocks,  or  of  lambs,  or  of  the-goats. 

12  When  ye  come  t''to  appear  before  me,  who  hath  re- 
quired this  at  your  hand,  tcr tread  my  courts? 

13  Bring  no  more  'vain  oblations :  incense  is  an  abom- 
ination unto  me;  the  new  moons  and  .sabbaths,  'the  calling 
of  as,seniblies,  I  cannot  away  with;  it  is  ||  iniquity, even  the 
solemn  meeting. 

14  Your  "new  moons  and  your  'appointed  feasts  my  soul 
hateth :  they  are  a  trouble  unto  me ;  "I  am  weary  to  bear 
them. 

15  And  'when  ye  spread  forth  your  hands,  I  will  hide 
mine  eyes  from  you;  "yea,  when  fye  make  many  prayers, 
I  will  not  hear:  your  hands  are  full  of 'fblood. 

16  ^i^'^Wash  ye,  make  you  clean:  put  away  the  evil  of  your 
doings  from  before  mine  eyes;  ''cea.se  to  do  evil; 

17  Learn  to  do  well;  'seek  judgment,  ||  relieve  the 
oppre.ssed,  judge  the  fatherless,  plead  for  the  widow. 

18  Come  now,  and-'^let  us  reason  together,  saith  the  Lord: 
though  your  sins  be  as  scarlet,  "they  shall  be  as  white 
as  snow;  though  they  be  red  like  crimson,  they  shall  be  as 
wool. 

19  If  ye  be  willing  and  obedient,  ye  shall  eat  the  good  of 
the  land: 

20  But  if  ye  refuse  and  rebel,  ye  shall  be  devoured  with 
the  sword :  *for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 


THE  BOOK  OF  THE  PROPHET

4-  The  vision  of  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz,  which  he

2  Hear,  O  heavens,  and  give  ear,  O  earth,  for  the 
Lord  hath  spoken:  I  have  'nourished  and  brought

3  The  ox  knoweth  his  owner,  and  the  ass  his  master's

iniquity,  a  seed  of  evil-doers,  children  that  deal 
corruptly :  they  have  forsaken  the  Lord,  they  have 
despised  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  they  are  estranged 

5  anrl  gone  backward.  ^Why  will  ye  be  still  stricken 
that  ye  revolt  more  and  more?  Hhe  whole  head   is 

6  sick,  and  Hhe  whole  heart  faint.  From  the  sole  of 
the  foot  even  unto  the  head  there  is  no  soundness 
in  it;  but  wounds,  and  bruises,  and  ^festering  sores: 
they    have    not    been    closed,    neither    bound    up, 

7  neither  mollified  with  oil.  Your  country  is  deso- 
late; your  cities  are  burned  with  fire;  your  land, 
strangers   devour   it   in   your    presence,   and    it    is 

8  desolate,  'as  overthrown  by  strangers.  And  the

10  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  'rulers  of  Sod'om ;

13 hand,  to  trample  my  courts?  Bring  no  more  'vain 
oblations;  incenge  is  an  abomination  unto  me;

'"I  cannot  away  with  iniquity  and  the  solemn  meet-

22  *Thy  silver  is  become  dross,  thy  wine  mixed  with  water : 

23  'Thy  princes  are  rebellious,  and  "companions  of  thieves : 
"every  one  loveth  gifts,  and  followeth  after  rewards :  they

desired,  *and  ye  shall  be  confounded  for  the  gardens  that  ye 
have  chosen. 

30  For  ye  shall  be  as  an  oak  whose  leaf  fadeth,  and  as  a 
garden  that  hath  no  water.

Isaiah  prophesieth  the  coming  of  Chri^Cs  kingdom, 

rilHE  word  that  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz  saw  concerning

2  And  "it  shall  come  to  pass  *in  the  last  days,  that  the 
"mountain  of  the  Lord's  house  shall  ||be  established  in  the 
top  of  the  mountains,  and  shall  be  exalted  above  the  hills; 
''and  all  nations  shall  flow  unto  it. 

3  And  many  people  shall  go  and  say,  'Come  ye,  and  let  us 
go  up  to  the  mountain  of  the  Lord,  to  the  house  of  the  God 
of  Ja'cob ;  and  he  will  teach  us  of  his  ways,  and  we  will 
walk  in  his  paths :  ■'^for  out  of  Zi'on  shall  go  forth  the  law, 
and  the  word  of  the  Lord  from  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  And  he  shall  judge  among  the  nations,  and  shall  rebuke 
many  people :  and  "they  shall  beat  their  swords  into  plough- 
shares and  their  spears  into  ||pruninghooks:  nation  shall  not 
life  up  sword  against  nation,  ''neither  shall  they  learn  war 
any  more. 

5  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  come  ye,  and  let  us  'walk  in  the  light 
of  the  Lord.  , 

6  ^Therefore  thou  hast  forsaken  thy  people  the  house  of 
Ja'cob,  because  they  be  replenished  ||'from  the  east,  and  ^are 
soothsayers  like  the  Phi-lis'tines,  "and  they  ||  please  them- 
selves in  the  children  of  strangers. 

7  "Theii  land  also  is  full  of  silver  and  gold,  neither  is  there 
any  end  r  f  their  treasures ;  their  land  is  also  full  of  horses, 
neither  is  there  any  end  of  their  chariots: 

8  "Their  land  also  is  full  of  idols;  they  worship  the  work 
of  their  own  hands,  that  which  their  own  fingers  have  made : 

9  And  the  mean  man  boweth  down,  and  the  great  man 
humbleth  himself:  therefore  forgive  them  not. 

10  ^"Enter  into  the  rock  and  hide  thee  in  the  dust,  for  fear 
of  the  Lord,  and  for  the  glory  of  his  majesty. 

11  The  'lofty  looks  of  man  shall  be  humbled,  and  the 
haughtiness  of  men  shall  be  bowed  down ;  and  the  Lord 
alone  shall  be  exalted  'in  that  day. 

12  For  the  day  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  be  upon  every 
one  thai  is  proud  and  lofty,  and  upon  every  one  that  is 
lifted  up;  and  he  shall  be  brought  low. 


21  How  is  the  faithful  city  become  an  harlot  I  she 
that    was  full  of  judgement!    righteousness  lodged 

22  in  her,  but  now  murderers.     Thy  silver  is  become 

23  dross,  thy  wine  mixed  with  water.  Thy  princes 
are  rebellious,  and  companions  of  thieves ;  every 
one  loveth  gifts,  and  followeth  after  rewards :  they 
judge  not  the  fatherless,  neither  doth  the  cause  of 
the  widow  come  unto  them. 

24  Therefore  saith  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
Mighty  One  of  Is'ra-el,  Ah,  I  will  ease  me  of  mine 

25  adversaries,  and  avenge  me  of  mine  enemies :  and  1 
will  'turn  my  hand  .upon  thee,  and  ^throughly 
purge  away  thy  dross,  and  will  take  away  all  thy 

26  ^tin :  and  I  will  restore  thy  judges  as  at  the  first, 
and  thy  counsellors  as  at  the  beginning:  afterward 
thou  shalt  be  called  The  city  of  righteousness,  the 

27  faithful  city.     Zi'on  shall  be  redeemed  with  judge- 
28ment,  and  %er  converts  with  righteousness.      But 

the  destruction  of  the  transgressors  and  the   sinner.s 
shall  be  together,  and  they  that  forsake  the  Lord 

29  shall  be  consumed.  For  they  shall  be  ashamed  of 
the  *oaks  which  ye  have  desired,  and  ye  shall  be 
confounded  for  the    gardens  that   ye   have  chosen. 

30  For  ye  shall  be  as  'an  oak  whose  leaf  fadeth,  and 

31  as  a  garden  that  hath  no  water.  And  the  strong 
shall  be  as  tow,  and  his  work  as  a  spark ;  and  they 
shall  both  burn  together,  and  none  shall .  quench 
them. 

^4  The  word  that  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz  saw  con- 
cerning Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  *And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the  latter  days,  that 
the  mountain  of  the  Lord's  house  shall  be  estab- 
lished 'in  the  top  of  the  mountains,  and  shall  be 
exalted  above  the  hills:  and  all  nations  shall  flow 

3  unto  it.  And  many  peoples  shall  go  and  say. 
Come  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to  the  mountain  of  the 
Lord,  to  the  house  of  the  God  cf  Ja'cob;  and  he 
will  teach  ue  of  his  way.s,  and  we  will  walk  in  his 
paths:  for  out  of  Zi'on  shall  go  forth  '"the  law,  and 

4  the  word  of  the  Lord  from  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  he 
shall  judge  "between  the  nations,  and  shall  '^reprove 
many  peoples :  and  they  shall  beat  their  swords  into 
plowshare^,  and  their  spears  into  pruning-hooks : 
nation  shall  not  lift  up  sword  against  nation,  neither 
shall  they  learn  war  any  more. 

5  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  c^ie  ye,  and  let  us  walk  in  the 

6  light  of  the  Lord.  For  thou  hast  forsaken  thy 
people  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  because  they  be  filled 
with  customs  from  the  east,  and  are  soothsayers  like 
the   Phi-lis'tines,   and   they  strike  hands  with  the 

7  children  of  strangers.  Their  land  also  is  full  of 
silver  and  gold,  neither  is  there  any  end  of  their 
treasures ;  their  land  also  is  full  of  horses,  neither 

8  is  there  any  end  of  their  chariots.  Their  land  also 
is  full  of  idols ;  they  worship  the  work  of  their  own 
hands,  that  which   their    own   fingers    have   made. 

9  And  the  mean  man  "is  bowed  down,  and  the  great 
man   'Ms  brought   low:  therefore  forgive  them  not. 

10  Enter  into  the  rock,  and  hide  thee  in  the  dust, 
from  before  the  terror  of  the  Lord,  and  from  the 

11  glory  of  his  majesty.  The  lofty  looks  of  man  shall 
be  brought  low,  and  the  haughtiness  of  men  shall  be 
bowed  down,  and  the  Lord  alone  shall  be  exalted  in 

1 2  that  day.  For  "there  shall  be  a  day  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  upon  all  that  is  proud  and  haughty,  and  upon 
all  that  is  lifted  up ;  and  it  shall  be  brought  low :

CHAPTER    III. 

The  great  confusion  which  comeih  by  sin, 

FOR,   behold,  the   Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts,  "doth  take 
away  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  from  Ju'dah  Hhe  stay  and  the 
staff,  the  whole  stay  of  bread,  and  the  whole  stay  of  water, 

2  "The  mighty  man,  and  the  man  of  war,  the  judge,  and 
the  prophet,  and  the  prudent,  and  the  ancient, 

3  The  captain  of  fifty,  and  the  fhonourable  man,  and  the 
counsellor,  and  the  cunuingartificer,  and  the  ||eloquent  orator. 

4  And  I  will  give  ''children  to  be  their  princes,  and  babes 
shall  rule  over  them. 

5  And  the  people  shall  be  oppressed,  every  one  by 
another,  and  every  one  by  his  neighbour :  the  child  shall 
behave  himself  proudly  against  the  ancient ;  and  the  base 
against  the  honourable. 

6  When  a  man  shall  take  hold  of  his  brother  of  the 
house  of  his  father,  saying,  Thou  hast  clothing,  be  thou 
our  ruler,  and  let  this  ruin  be  under  thy  hand : 

7  In  •  that  day  shall  he  fswear,  saying,  I  will  not  be  a 
fhealer ;  for  in  my  house  is  neither  bread  nor  clothing : 
make  me  not  a  ruler  of  the  people. 

8  For  'Je-ru'sa-lem  is  ruined,  and  Ju'dah  is  fallen :  because 
their  tongue  and  their  doings  are  against  the  Lord,  to 
provoke  the  eyes  of  his  glory. 

9  %^The  shew  of  their  countenance  doth  witness  against 
them ;  and  they  declare  their  sin  as  ■'^Sod'om,  they  hide  it 
not.  Woe  unto  their  soul !  for  they  have  rewarded  evil 
unto  themselves. 

10  Say  ye  to  the  righteous,  "that  it  shall  be  well  with  him  : 
"•for  they  shall  eat  the  fruit  of  their  doings. 

11  Woe  unto  the  wicked!  Ht  shall  be  ill  with  him:  for  the 
reward  of  his  hands  shall  be  fgiven  him. 

12  %As  for  my  people,  *children  are  their  oppressors, 
and  women  rule  over  them.  O  my  people,  '||  they  which 
lead  thee  cause  thee  to  err,  and  fdestroy  the  way  of  thy  paths. 

13  The  Lord  standeth  up  '"to  plead,  and  standeth  to 
judge  the  people. 

14  The  Lord  will  enter  into  judgment  with  the  ancients 
of  his  people,  and  the  princes  thereof:  for  ye  have  ||  eaten 
up  "the  vineyard ;  the  spoil  of  the  poor  is  in  your  houses. 

15  What  mean  ye  that  ye  "beat  my  people  to  pieces,  and 
grind  the  faces  of  the  poor?  saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts. 

16  ^fMoreover  the  Lord  saith.  Because  the  daughters 
of  Zi'on  are  haughty,  and  walk  with  stretched  forth  necks 
and  fwanton  eyes,  walking  and  ||  mincing  as  they  go,  and 
making  a  tinkling  with  their  feet: 


13  and  upon  all  the  cedars  of  Leb'a-non,  that  are 
high,  and  lifted  up,  and  upon  all  the  oaks  of 
14 Ba'shan;  and  upon  all  the  high  mountains,  and 
15 upon  all  the  hills  that  are  lifted  up;  and  upon 
16 every  lofty  tower,  and  upon  every  fenced  wall;  and 
upon  all  the  ships  of  Tar'shish,  and  upon  all  pleasant 

17  'imagery.  And  the  loftiness  of  man  shall  be 
bowed  down,  and  the  haughtiness  of  men  shall  be 
brought  low :    and  the  Lord  alone  shall  be  exalted 

18  in  that  day.     And  the  idols  shall  utterly  pass  away. 

19  And  men  shall  go  into  the  caves  of  the  rocks,  and 
into  the  holes  of  the  ^earth,  from  before  the  terror 
of  the  Lord,  and  from  the  glory   of  his  majesty, 

20  when  he  ariseth  to  shake  mightily  the  earth.  In 
that  day  a  man  shall  cast  away  his  idols  of  silver, 
and  his  idols  of  gold,  which  they  made  for  him  to 

21  worship,  to  the  moles  and  to  the  bats;  to  go  into 
the  caverns  of  the  rocks,  and  into  the  clefts  of  the 
ragged  rocks,  from  before  the  terror  of  the  Lord, 
and  from  the  glory  of  his  majesty,  when  he  ariseth 

22  to  shake  mightily  the  earth.  ^Cease  ye  from  man, 
whose  breath  is  in  his  nostrils:  for  wherein  is  he  to 
be  accounted  of? 

^  For,  behold,  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts,  doth 
take  away  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  from  Ju'dah  stay  and 
staff,  the   whole  stay  of  bread,  and  the  whole  stay 

2 of  water;  the  mighty  man,  and  the  man  of  war; 
the  judge,  and  the  prophet,  and  the  diviner,  and  the 

3*ancient;  the  captain  of  fifty,  and  the  honourable 
man,  and  the  counsellor,  and  the  cunning  ^artificer, 

4  and  the  skilful  enchanter.  And  I  will  give  children 
to  be  their  princes,  and  ''babes  shall  rule  over  them. 

5  And  the  people  shall  be  oppressed,  every  one  by 
another,  and  every  one  by  his  neighbour :  the  child 
shall  behave  himself  proudly  against  the  ^ancient, 

6  and  the  base  against  the  honourable.  When  a  man 
shall  take  hold  of  his  brother  in  the  house  of  his 
father,   saying,   Thou    hast   clothing,    be    thou    our 

7 'ruler,  and  let  this  ruin  be  under  thy  hand  :  in  that 
day  shall  he  lift  up  his  voice,  saying,  I  will  not  be 
*an  healer;  for  in  my  house  is  neither  bread  nor 
clothing :  ye  shall  not  make  me  ruler  of  the  people. 

8  For  Je-ru'sa-lem  is  ruined  and  Ju'dah  is  fallen : 
because  their  tongue    and   their  doings  are  against 

9  the  Lord,  to  provoke  the  eyes  of  his  glory.  'The 
shew  of  their  countenance  doth  witness  against 
them;  and  they  declare  their  sin  as  Sod'om,  they 
hide  it  not.     Woe  unto  their  soul!  for  they  have 

10 '"rewarded  evil  unto  themselves.  Say  ye  of  the 
righteous,   that  it  shall  be  well  with  him:  for  they 

11  shall  eat  the  fruit  of  their  doings.  Woe  unto  the 
wicked  !  it  shall  be  ill  with  him :   for  the  "reward  of 

12  his  hands  shall  be  'fgiven  him.  As  for  my  people, 
children  are  their  oppressors,  and  women  rule  over 
them.     O  my  people,  they  which  lead   thee  cause 

13  thee  to  err,  and  'Mestroy  the  way  of  thy  paths.  The 
Lord  standeth  up  to  plead,  and  standeth  to  judge 

14 the  "peoples.  The  Lord  will  enter  into  judge- 
ment with  the  elders  of  his  people,  and  the  princes 
thereof:  It  is  ye  that  have  eaten  up  the  vine- 
yard ;    the    spoil  of   the    poor    is    in  your  houses : 

15  what  mean  ye  that  ye  crush  my  people,  and  grind 
the  face  of  the  poor?  saith  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

16  Moreover  the  Lord  said,  Because  the  daughters 
of  Zi'on  are  haughty,  and  walk  with  stretched  forth 
necks  and  wanton  eyes,  walking  and  mincing  as 
they    go,  and   making  a  tinkling  with  their  feet:

17  Therefore  the  Lord  will  smite  with  'a  scab  the  crown 
of  the  head  of  the  daughters  of  Zi'on,  and  the  Loed  will 
t'discover  their  secret  parts. 

18  In  that  day  the  Lord  will  take  away  the  bravery  of 
their  tinkling  ornaments  about  their  feet,  and  their  ||  cauls, 
and  theii  'round  tires  like  the  moon,

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  he  that  is  left  in  Zi'on,

CHAT^TER  V. 

GoJ  ■■  severe  judgments  on  Israel. 

"VTOW  will  I  sing  to  my  well  beloved  a  song  of  my 
1.1  beloved  touching  "his  vineyard.  My  well  beloved  hath 
a  vineyard  in  fa  very  fruitful  hill : 

2  And  he  ||  fenced  it,  and  gathered  out  the  stones  thereof, 
and  planted  it  with  the  choicest  vine,  and  built  a  tower  in 
the  midst  of  it,  and  also  fmade  a  winepress  therein :  'and 
he  looked  that  it  should  bring  forth  grapes,  and  it  brought 
forth  wild  grapes. 

3  And  now,  O  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  men  of 
Ju'dah,  "judge,  I  pray  you,  betwixt  me  and  my  vineyard. 

4  what  could  have  been  done  more  to  my  vineyard,  that 
I  have  not  done  in  it?  wherefore,  when  I  looked  that  it 
should  bring  forth  grapes,  brought  it  forth  wild  grapes? 

5  And  now  go  to ;  I  will  tell  you  what  I  will  do  to  my 
vineyard :  ''I  will  take  away  the  hedge  thereof,  and  it  shall 
be  eaten  up ;  and  break  down  the  wall  thereof,  and  it  shall 
be  ftrodden  down :  • 

6  And  I  will  lay  it  waste :  it  shall  not  be  pruned,  nor 
digged;  but  there  shall  come  up  briers  and  thorns:  I  will 
also  command  the  clouds  that  they  rain  no  rain  upon  it. 

7  For  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  m  the   house 


17  therefore  the  Lord  will  smite  with  a  scab  the  crown 
of  the  head  of  the  daughters  of  Zi'on,  and  the  Loed 

18  will  lay  bare  their  secret  parts.  In  that  day  the 
Lord  will  take  away  the  bravery  of  their  anklets, 

19 and  the  'cauls,  and  the  crescents;  the  pendants,  and 
20 the  ^bracelets,  and  the  mufflers;  the  headtires,  and 
the  ankle  chains,  and  the  sashes,  and  the  perfume 
21  boxes,  and  the  amulets ;  the  rings,  and  tl.c  nose 
22 jewels;  the  festival  robes,  and  the  mantles,  and  the 

23  shawls,  and  the  satchels ;  the  hand  mirrors,  and  the 

24  fine  linen,  and  the  turbans,  and  the  veils.  And  ii 
shall  come  to  pass,  that  instead  of  sweet  spices  there 
shall  be  rottenness ;  and  instead  of  a  girdle  a  rope ; 
and  instead  of  well  set  hair  baldness ;  and  instead 
of   a  stomacher  a  girding  of  sackcloth :    branding 

25  instead  of  beauty.     Thy  men  shall  fall  by  the  sword, 

26  and  thy  'mighty  in  the  war.     And  her  gates  shall 
.  lament  and  mourn;  and  she  shall  be  Mesolate  and 

^  sit  upon  the  ground.  And  seven  women  shall  take 
hold  of  one  man  in  that  day,  saying.  We  will  eat 
our  own  bread,  and  wear  our  own  apparel :  only  let 
us  be  called  by  thy  name;  take  thou  away  our 
reproach. 

2  In  that  day  shall  the  'branch  of  the  Lord  be 
beautiful  and  glorious,  and  the  fruit  of  the  'land 
shall  be  'excellent  and  comely  for  them  that  are 

3  escaped  of  Is'ra-el.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
he  that  is  left  in  Zi'on,  and  he  that  remaineth  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  shall  be  called  holy,  even  every  one 
that  is  written  'among  the  living  in  Je-ru'sa-lem : 

4  when  the  Lord  shall  have  washed  away  the  filth  of 
the  daughters  of  Zi'on,  and  shall  have  pur.^ed  the 
blood  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  the  midst  thereof,  by  the 
'spirit  of  judgement,  and  by  the  'spirit  of  burning. 

5  And  the  Loed  will  create  over  '"the  whole  habita- 
tion of  mount  Zi'on,  and  over  her  assemblies,  a  cloud 
and  smoke  by  day,  and  the  shining  of  a  flaming  fire 
by  night:  for  over  all  the  glory  shall  be  spread  a 

6  canopy.  And  there  shall  be  a  pavilion  for  a  shadow 
in  the  day-time  from  the  heat,  and  for  a  refuge  and 
for  a  covert  from  storm  and  from  rain. 

O  Let  me  sing  "for  my  wellbeloved  a  song  of  my 
beloved  touching  his  vineyard.  My  wellbeloved 
2 had  a  vineyard  in  "a  very  fruitful  hill:  and  he 
"made  a  trench  about  it,  and  gathered  out  the  stones 
thereof,  and  planted  it  with  the  choicest  vine,  and 
built  a  tower  in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also  hewed  out 
a  "winepress  therein:  and  he  looked  that  it  should 
bring  forth  grapes,  and  it  brought  forth  wild  grapes. 

3  And  now,  O  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  men  of 
Ju'dah,  judge,  I  pray  you,  betwixt  me  and  my  vine- 

4  yard.  What  could  have  been  done  more  to  my 
vineyard,  that  I  have  not  done  in  it?  wherefore, 
when  I  looked  that  it  should  bring   forth   grapes, 

5  brought  it  forth  wild  grapes  ?  And  now  go  to  ;  I 
will  tell  you  what  I  will  do  to  my  vineyard :  I  will 
take  away  the  hedge  thereof,  and  it  shall  be  "eaten 
up;    I    will    break    down    the   fence    thereof,  and 

6  it  shall  be  trodden  down :  and  I  will  lay  it  waste ; 
it  shall  not  be  pruned  nor  hoed;  but  there 
shall  come  up  briers  and  thorns:  I  will  also  com- 
mand the  clouds  that  they   rain   no   rain   upon  it. 

7  For  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  the  house

He  looked  for  judgment,  but  behold  foppression ;  for  right- 
eousness, but  behold  a  cry. 

8  ^Woe  unto  them  that  join  'house  to  house,  that  lay  field 
to  field,  till  there  be  no  place,  that  fthey  may  be  placed  alone 
in  the  midst  of  the  earth  ! 

9  •''II  In  mine  ears  said  the  Lord  of  hosts,  fOf  a  truth 
many  houses  shall  be  desolate,  even  great  and  fair,  without 
inhabitant. 

10  Yea,  ten  acres  of  vineyard  shall  yield  one  "bath,  and 
the  seed  of  a  homer  shall  yield  an  ephah. 

11  ^'Woe  unto  them  that  rise  up  early  in  the  morning, 
that  they  may  follow  strong  drink;  that  continue  until  night, 
till  wine  jj  inflame  them! 

12  And  the  'harp  and  the  viol,  the  tab  ret  and  pipe,  and 
wine,  are  in  their  feasts :  but  'they  regard  not  the  work  of 
the  Lord,  neither  consider  the  operation  of  his  hands. 

13  ^'Therefore  my  people  are  gone  into  captivity,  "be- 
cause they  have  no  knowledge :  and  ftheir  honourable  men 
are  famished,  and  their  multitude  dried  up  with  thirst. 

14  Therefore  hell  hath  enlarged  herself,  and  opened  her 
mouth  without  measure :  and  their  glory,  and  their  multitude, 
and  their  pomp,  and  he  that  rejoiceth,  shall  descend  into  it. 

15  And  "the  mean  man  shall  be  brought  down,  and  the 
mighty  man  shall  be  humbled,  and  the  eyes  of  the  lofty 
shall  be  humbled : 

16  But  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  be  exalted  in  judgment,  and 
llfGod  that  is  holy  shall  be  sanctified  in  righteousness. 

17  Then  shall  the  lambs  feed  after  their  manner,  and  the 
waste  places  of  "the  fat  ones  shall  strangers  eat. 

18  Woe  unto  them  that  draw  iniquity  with  cords  of  vanity, 
and  sin  as  it  were  with  a  cart  rope : 

19  "That  say.  Let  him  make  speed,  and  hasten  his  work, 
that  we  may  see  it :  and  let  the  counsel  of  the  Holy  One  of 
Is'ra-el  draw  nigh  and  come,  that  we  may  know  it ! 

20  ^Woe  unto  them  fthat  call  evil  good,  and  good  evil; 
that  put  darkness  for  light,  and  light  for  darkness ;  that  put 
bitter  for  sweet,  and  sweet  for  bitter! 

21  Woe  unto  them  that  are  'wise  in  their  own  eyes,  and 
prudent  fin  their  own  sight ! 

22  'Woe  unto  them  that  are  mighty  to  drink  wine,  and  men 
of  strength  to  mingle  strong  drink  : 

23  Which  'justify  the  wicked  for  reward,  and  take  away 
the  righteousness  of  the  righteous  from  him  ! 

24  Therefore  'as  fthe  fire  devoureth  the  stubble,  and  the 
flame  consumeth  the  chaff",  so  "their  root  shall  be  as  rotten- 
ness, and  their  blossom  shall  go  up  as  dust :  because  they 
have  cast  away  the  law  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  despised 
the  word  of  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

25  ''Therefore  is  the  anger  of  the  Lord  kindled  against  his 
people,  and  he  hath  stretched  forth  his  hand  against  them, 
and  hath  smitten  them:  and  "the  hills  did  tremble,  and  their 
carcasses  were  ||torn  in  the  midst  of  the  streets.  'For  all 
this  his  anger  is  not  turned  away,  but  his  hand  is  stretched 
out  still. 

26  %°And  he  will  lift  up  an  ensign  to  the  nations  from  far, 
and  will  'hiss  unto  them  from  ""the  end  of  the  earth  :  and, 
behold,  '*they  shall  come  with  speed  swiftly  : 

27  None  shall  be  weary  nor  stumble  among  them;  none 
shall  slumber  nor  sleep;  neither  'shall  the  girdle  of  their 
loins  be  loosed,  nor  the  latchet  of  their  shoes  be  broken  : 

28  •'^Whose  arrows  are  sharp,  and  all  their  bows  bent,  their 
horses'  hoofs  shall  be  counted  like  flint,  and  their  wheels 
like  a  whirlwind : 

29  Their  roaring  shall  be  like  a  lion,  they  shall  roar  like 
young  lions :  yea,  they  shall  roar,  and  lay  hold  of  the  prey, 
and  shall  carry  it  away  safe,  and  none  shall  deliver  it. 

30  And  in  that  day  they  shall  roar  against  them  like  the 
1  roaring  of  the  sea:  and  if  one  "look  unto  the  land,  behold 


of  Is'ra-ei,  and  the  men  of  Ju'dah  'his  pleasant  plant  s 
and  he  looked  for  judgement,  but  behold  ^oppres- 
sion ;  for  righteousness,  but  behold  a  cry. 

8  Woe  unto  them  that  join  house  to  house,  that  lay 
field  to  field,  till  there  be  no  room,  and  ye  be  made  to 

9  dwell  alone  in  the  midst  of  the  land !  In  mine  ears 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Of  a  truth  many  houses 
shall  be  desolate,  even  great  and  fair,  without  inhab- 

10  itant.  For  ten  acres  of  vineyard  shall  yield  one  bath, 
and  a  'homer  of  seed  shall  yield  but  an  ephah. 

11  Woe  unto  them  that  rise  up  early  in  the  morning, 
that    they    may    follow    strong    drink;    that    tarry 

12 late  into  the  night,  till  wine  inflame  them!  And 
the  harp  and  the  lute,  the  tabret  and  the  pipe,  and 
wine,  are  in  their  feasts;  but  they  regard  not  the 
work  of  the  Lord,  neither  have  they  considered  the 

13  operation  of  his  hands.  Therefore  my  people  are 
gone  into  captivity,  for  lack  of  knowledge  :  and  Hheir 
honourable  men  are  famished,  and  their  multitude  are 

14  parched  with  thirst.  Therefore  ^hell  hath  enlarged 
her  desire,  and  opened  her  mouth  without  measure : 
and  their  glory,  and  their  multitude,  and  their  'pomp, 
and  he  that  rejoiceth  among  them,  descend  into  it. 

15  And  the  mean  man  is  bowed  down,  and  the  great  man 
is  humbled,  and  the  eyes  of  the  lofty  are  humbled : 

16  but  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  exalted  in  judgement,  and 
God  the  Holy  One  is  sanctified  in  righteousness. 

17  Then  shall  the  lambs  feed  as  in  their  pasture,  and  the 
waste  places  of  the  fat  ones  shall  'wanderers  eat. 

18  Woe  unto  them  that  draw  iniquity  with  cords  of 

19  vanity,  and  sin  as  it  were  with  a  cart  rope :  that  say, 
Let  him  make  speed,  let  him  hasten  his  work,  that  we 
may  see  it :  and  let  the  counsel  of  the  Holy  One  of 
Is'ra-el  draw  nigh  and  come,  that  we  may  know  it! 

20  Woe  unto  them  that  call  evil  good,  and  good  evil; 
that  putdarkness  for  light,  and  light  for  darkness ;  that 
put  bitter  for  sweet,  and  sweet  for  bitter ! 

21  Woe  unto  them  that  are  wise  in  their  own  eyes, 
and  prudent  in  their  own  sight ! 

22  Woe  unto  them  that  are  mighty  to  drink  wine,  and 

23  men  of  strength  to  mingle  strong  drink :  which  justify 
the  wicked  for  a  reward,  and  take  away  the  righteous- 

24  ness  of  the  righteous  from  him !  Therefore  as  the 
tongue  of  fire  devoureth  the  stubble,  and  as  the  dry 
grass  sinketh  down  in  the  flame,  so  their  root  shall 
be  as  rottenness,  and  their  blossom  shall  go  up  as 
dust :  because  they  have  rejected  the  'law  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  despised  the  word  of  the  Holy 
One  of  Ls'ra-el. 

25  Therefore  is  the  anger  of  the  Lord  kindled  against 
his  people,  and  he  hath  stretched  forth  his  hand  against 
them,  and  hath  smitten  them,  and  the  hills  did  tremble, 
and  their  carcasses  were  as  refuse  in  the  midst  of  the 
streets.     For  all  this  his  anger  is  not  turned  away,  but 

26  his  hand  is  stretched  out  still.  And  he  will  lift  up  an 
ensign  to  the  nations  from  far,  and  will  hiss  for  Hhem 
from  the  end  of  the  earth :  and,  behold,  '"they  shall 

27  come  with  speed  swiftly :  none  shall  be  weary  nor 
stumble  among  them  ;  none  shall  slumber  nor  sleep; 
neither  shall  the  girdle  of  their  loins  be  loosed,  nor 

28  the  latchet  of  their  shoes  be  broken :  whose  arrows 
are  sharp,  and  all  their  bows  bent;  their  horses'  hoofs

shall  roar  like  young  lions :  yea,  they  shall  roar,  and 
lay  hold  of  the  prey,  and  carry  it  away  safe,  and 

30  there  shall  be  none  to  deliver.  And  they  shall  roar

CHARTER    VI. 

Isaiah's  vision  Of  the  Lord's  glory. 

IN  the  year  that  "king  Uz-zi'ah  died  I  ''saw  also  the  Lord 
sitting  upon  a  throne,  high  and  lifted  up,  and  ||his  train 
filled  the  temple. 

2  Above  it  stood  the  seraphim:  each  one  had  six  wings: 
with  twain  he  covered  his  face,  and  "with  twain  he  covered 
his  feet,  and  with  twain  he  did  fly. 

3  And  tone  cried  unto  another,  and  said,  ''Holy,  holy, 
holy,  is  the  Lokd  of  hosts :  f'the  whole  earth  is  full  of  his 
glory. 

4  And  the  posts  of  the  fdoor  moved  at  the  voice  of  him 
that  cried,  and-^the  house  was  filled  with  smoke. 

5  ^"Then  said  I,  Woe  is  me!  for  I  am  fundone;  because  I 
am  a  man  of  unclean  lips,  and  I  dwell  in  the  midst  of  a 
people  of  unclean  lips:  for  mine  eyes  have  seen  the  King, 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

6  Then  flew  one  of  the  seraphim  unto  me,  fhaving  a  live 
coal  in  his  hand,  ii^hich  he  had  taken  with  the  tongs  from 
off  *the  altar.: 

7  And  he  flaid  it  upon  my  mouth,  and  said,  Lo,  this  hath 
touched  thy  lips ;  and  thine  iniquity  is  taken  away,  and  thy 
sin  purged. 

8  Also  I  heard  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  saying,  Whom  shall 
I  send,  and  who  will  go  for  *us?  Then  said  I,  fHere  am  I ; 
send  me. 

9  *T[  And  he  said.  Go,  and  tell  this  people,  'Hear  ye  Hfindeed, 
but  understand  not;  and  see  ye  findeed,  but  perceive  not. 

10  Make  ""the  heart  of  this  people  fat,  and  make  their  ears 
heavy,  and  shut  their  eyes;  "lest  they  see  with  their  eyes, 
and  hear  with  their  ears,  and  understand  with  their  heart, 
and  convert,  and  be  healed. 

11  Then  said  I,  Lord,  how  long?  And  he  answered, 
"Until  the  cities  be  wasted  without  inhabitant,  and  the 
bouses  without  man,  and  the  land  be  futterly  desolate, 

12  'And  the  Lord  have  removed  men  far  away,  and  there 
be  a  great  forsaking  in  tlie  midst  of  the  land. 

13  f  But  yet  in  it  hJmU  be  a  tenth,  ||and  it  shall  return,  and 
shall  be  eaten  :  as  a  teil  tree,  and  as  an  oak,  whose  ||  sub- 
stance is  in  them,  wlien  they  ca.st  their  leaves :  so  *the  holy 
seed  shall  be  the  substance  thereof. 

CHARTER   VII. 

Alias  comforted  by  Isaiah. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  "A'haz  the  son  of  Jo'- 
tham,  the  son  of  Uz-zi'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  that  Re'zin 
the  king  of  Syr'i-a,  and  Pe'kah  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah,  king 
of  Is'ra-el,  went  up  toward  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  war  against  it, 
but  could  not  prevail  against  it. 

2  And  it  was  told  the  house  of  Da'vid,  saying,  Syr'i-a  fis 
confederate  with  E'phra-im.  And  his  heart  was  moved,  and 
the  heart  of  his  people,  as  the  trees  of  the  wood  are  moved 
with  the  wind. 

3  Then  .said  the  Lord  unto  I-sa'iah,  Go  forth  now  to  meet 
A'haz,  thou,  ''and  || She'ar-ja'shub  thy  .son,  at  the  end  of  the 
« conduit  of  the  upi>er  pool,  in  the  ||  highway  of  the  fuller's  field ; 

4  And  say  unto  him,  Take  heed,  and  be  quiet;  fear  not, 
fneither  be  fainthearted  for  the  two  tails  of  these  smoking 
firebrands,  for  the  fierce  anger  of  Re'zin  with  Syr'i-a,  and 
of  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah. 

5  Because  Syr'i-a,  E'phra-im,  and  the  .son  of  Rem-a-li'ah, 
have  taken  evil  counsel  against  thee,  saying, 

6  Let  us  go  up  against  Ju'dah,  and  ||vex  it,  and  let  us 
make  a  breach  therein  for  us,  and  set  a  king  in  the  midst  of 
it,  even  the  son  of  Ta'be-al : 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  ''It  shall  not  stand,  neither 
shall  it  come  to  pass. 

8  "For  the  heaa  of  Syr'i-a  is  Da-mas'cus,  and  the  head  of 


darkness  and  distress,  and  the  light  is  darkened 
in  the  clouds  thereof. 

t>  In  the  year  that  king  Uz-zi'ah  died  I  saw  the  Lord 

sitting  upon  a  throne,  high  and  lifted  up,  and  his 

2 'train    filled    the    temple.     Above    him    stood    the 

seraphim:  each  one  had  six  wings;  with  twain  he 

covered   his  face,  and   with  twain  he  covered  his 

3  feet,  and  with  twain  he  did  fly.  And  one  cried 
unto  another,  and  said.  Holy,  holy,  holy,  is  the 
Lord  of  hosts :  ^the  whole  earth  is  full  of  his  glory 

4  And  the  foundations  of  the  thresholds  were  moved 
at  the  voice  of  him  that  cried,  and  the  house  was 

5  filled  with  smoke.     Then  said  I,  Woe  is  me !  for  I 
am  undone;  because  I  am  a  man  of  unclean  lips, 
and  I  dwell  in  the  midst  of  a  people  of  unclean  lips 
for  mine  eyes  have  seen  the  King,  the  Lord  of 

Ghosts.  Then  flew  one  of  the  seraphim  unto  me, 
having  a  ^live  coal  in  his  hand,  which  he  had  taken 

7  with  the  tongs  from  off  the  altar :  and  he  touched 
my  mouth  with  it,  and  said,  Lo,  this  hath  touched 
thy  lips ;  and  thine  iniquity  is  taken  away,  and  thy 

8  sin  ^purged.  And  I  heard  the  voice  of  the  Lord, 
saying,  Whom  shall  I  send,  and  who  will  go  for 

9  us  ?  Then  I  said.  Here  am  I ;  send  me.  And  he 
said,  Go,  and  tell  this  people.  Hear  ye  'indeed,  but 
understand  not;  and  see  ye  'indeed,   but  perceive 

10  not.  Make  the  heart  of  this  people  fat,  and  make 
their  ears  heavy,  and  shut  their  eyes;  lest  they  see 
with  their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears,  and  ^under- 
stand    with   their  heart,    and    turn   again,   and   be 

11  healed.  Then  said  I,  Lord,  how  long?  And  he 
answered.  Until  cities  be  waste  without  inhabitant, 
and    houses   without    man,  and    the    land    become 

12  utterly  waste,  and  the  Lord  have  removed  men  far 
away,  and  the  forsaken  places  be  many  in  the  midst 

13  of  the  land.  'And  if  there  be  yet  a  tenth  in  it,  it 
shall  again  be  *eaten  up :  as  a  terebinth,  and  as  an 
oak,  'whose  '"stock  remaineth,  when  they  "are  felled; 
so  the  holy  seed  is  the  '"stock  thereof. 

(  And  it  came  to  pa.ss  in  thf  days  of  A'haz  the  son 
of  Jo'tham,  the  son  of  Uz-zi'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  that 
Re'zin  the  king  of  Syr'i-a,  and  Pe'kah  the  son  of 
Rem-a-li'ah,  king  of  Is'ra-el,  went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem 
to  war  against  it;  but  could  not  prevail  against  it. 

2  And  it  was  told  the  house  of  Da'vid,  saying,  Syr'i-a 
"is  confederate  with  E'phra-im.  And  his  heart  was 
moved,  and  the  heart  of  his  people,  as  the  treef>  of 
the  forest  are  moved  with  the  wind. 

3  Then  said  the  IjORD  unto  I-sa'iah,  Go  forth  now 
to  meet  A'haz,  thou,  and  '^She'ar-ja'shub  thy  son, 
at  the  end   of  the  conduit  of  the   upper  pool,   in 

4 the  high  way  of  the  fuller's  field;  and  say  unto 
him.  Take  heed,  and  be  quiet;  fear  not,  neither 
let  thine  heart  be  faint,  because  of  these  two  tails 
of  smoking  firebrands,  for  the  fierce  anger  of 
Re'zin  and  Syr'i-a,  and  of  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah. 

6  Because  Syr'i-a  hath  counselled  evil  against  thee, 
E'phra-im  aho,  and  the  son  of  Rem-a-li'ah,  saying, 

6  Let  us  go  up  against  Ju'dah,  and  vex  it,  and  let  us  make 
a  breach  therein  for  us,  and  set  up  a  king  in  the  midst 

7  of  It,  even  the  son  of  Ta'be-el :  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  It  shall  not  stand,  neither  shall  it  come  to  pass.

11  "Ask  thee  a  sign  of  the  Lord  thy  God;  ||ask  it  either 
in  the  depth,  or  in  the  height  above. 

12  But  A'hazsaid, I  will  notask,neither  will  I  tempt  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  said.  Hear  ye  now, O  house  of  Da'vid;  /siVasmall 
thing  for  you  to  weary  men,  but  will  ye  weary  my  God  also? 

14  Therefore  the  Lord  himself  shall  give  you  a  sign; 
*Behold,  a  virgin  shall  conceive,  and  bear  'a  son,  and  ||  shall 
call  his  name  'Im-man'u-el. 

15  Butter  and  honey  shall  he  eat,  that  he  may  know  to 
refuse  the  evil,  and  choose  the  good. 

16  'For  before  the  child  shall  know  to  refuse  the  evil,  and 
choose  the  good,  the  land  that  thou  abhorrest  shall  be  foi^ 
saken  of  "both  her  kings. 

17  ^"The  Lord  shall  bring  upon  thee,  and  upon  thy 
people,  and  upon  thy  father's  house,  days  that  have  not 
come,  from  the  day  that  °E'phra-im  departed  from  Ju'dah; 
even  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  thai  the  Lord 
''shall  hiss  for  the  fly  that  is  in  the  uppermost  part  of  the 
rivers  of  E'gypt,  and  for  the  bee  that  is  in  the  land  of 
As-syr'i-a. 

19  And  they  shall  come,  and  shall  rest  all  of  them  in  the 
desolate  valleys,  and  in  'the  holes  of  the  rocks,  and  upon 
all  thorns,  and  upon  all  ||  bushes. 

20  In  the  same  day  shall  the  Lord  shave  with  a  'razor 
that  is  hired,  namely,  by  them  beyond  the  river,  by  the  king 
of  As-syr'i-a,  the  head,  and  the  hair  of  the  feet :  and  it  shall 
also  consume  the  beard. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  a  man  shall 
nourish  a  young  cow  and  two  sheep ; 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  for  the  abundance  of  milk 
that  they  shall  give,  he  shall  eat  butter:  for  butter  and 
honey  shall  every  one  eat  that  is  left  fin  the  land. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  every  place 
shall  be,  where  there  were  a  thousand  vines  at  a  thousand 
silverlings,  'it  shall  even  be  for  briers  and  thorns. 

24  With  arrows  and  with  bows  shall  men  come  thither ; 
because  all  the  land  shall  become  briers  and  thorns. 

25  And  on  all  hills  that  shall  be  digged  with  the  mattock, 
there  shall  not  come  thither  the  fear  of  briers  and  thorns: 
but  it  shall  be  for  the  sending  forth  of  oxen,  and  for  the 
treading  of  lesser  cattle. 

CHAPTER   VIII. 

Comfort  shall  hi  to  them  that  fear  God. 

MOREOVER  the  IjOrd  said  unto  me.  Take  thee  a  great 
roll,  and''write  in  it  with  a  man's  pen  concerning  fMa'her- 
shal'al-hash'-baz. 

2  And  I  took  unto  me  faithful  witnesses  to  record,  ^U-ri'ah 
the  priest,  and  Zech-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Je-ber-e-chi'ah. 

3  And  I  fwent  unto  the  prophetess;  and  she  conceived 
and  bare  a  son.  Then  said  the  Lord  to  me,  Call  his  name 
Ma'her-shal'al-hash'baz. 

4  ""For  before  the  child  shall  have  knowledge  to  cry.  My 
father,  and  my  mother,  ||''the  riches  of  Da-ma.s'cus  and  the  spoil 
of  Sa-ma'ri-ashall  be  taken  away  before  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

5  ^[The  Lord  spake  also  unto  me  again,  saying, 

6  Forasmuch  as  this  people  refuseth  the  waters  of  'Shi-lo'ah 
that  go  softly,  and  rejoice-'^in  Re'zin  and  Rem-a-li'ah's  son  ; 

7  Now  therefore,  behold,  the  Lord  bringeth  up  upon  them 
the  waters  of  the  river,  strong  and  many,  even  "the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  and  all  his  glory :  and  he  shall  come  up  over  all 
his  channels,  and  go  over  all  his  banks: 

8  And  heshallpass  through  Ju'dah  ;  he  shall  overflowand  go 


Da-mas'cus  is  Re'zin :  and  wittiin  threescore  and  five 
years  shall  E'phra-im  be  broken  in  pieces,  that  it  be 
9  not  a  people  :  and  the  head  of  E'phra-im  is  Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and  the  head  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  is  Rem-a-liah's  son.  If  ye 
will  not  believe,  surely  ye  shall  not  be  established. 

10  And  the  Lord   spake  again  unto  A'haz,  saying, 

11  Ask  thee  a  sign  of  the  Lord  thy  God ;  'ask  it  either 

12  in  the  depth,  or  in  the  height  above.  But  A'haz 
said,  I  will  not  ask,  neither  will  I  tempt  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  said.  Hear  ye  now,  O  house  of  Da'vid ;  is  it 
a  small  thing  for  you  to  weary  men,  that  ye  will 

14 weary  my  God  also?     Therefore  the  Lord  himself 
shall  give  you  a  sign  ;  behold,  ^a  Virgin  *shall  con 
ceive,  and    bear   a    son,  and    shall    call    his    name 

15  'Im-man'u-el.  *Butter  and  honey  shall  he  eat,  %hen 
he  knoweth  to  refuse  the  evil,  and  choose  the  good. 

16  For  before  the  child  shall  know  to  refuse  the  evil,  and 
choose  the  good,  the  land  whose  two  kings  thou  ab- 

17  horrest  shall  be  forsaken.  The  Lord  shall  bring  upon 
thee,  and  upon  thy  people,  and  upon  thy  father's  house, 
days  that  have  not  come,  from  the  day  that  E'phra-im 
departed  from  Ju'dah ;  evem,  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
Lord  shall  hiss  for  the  fly  that  is  in  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  rivers  of  E'gypt,  and  for  the  bee  that  is 

19  in  the  land  of  As-.syr'i-a.  And  they  shall  come,  and 
shall  rest  all  of  them  in  the  'desolate  valleys,  and  in 
the  holes  of  the  rocks,  and  upon  all  thorns,  and 
upon  all  'pastures. 

20  In  that  day  shall  the  Lord  shave  with  a  razor 
that  is  hired,  which  is  in  the  parts  beyond  the  River, 
even  with  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  the  head  and  the 
hair  of  the  feet :  and  it  shall  also  consume  the  beard. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  a 
man  shall  nourish    a  young  cow,  and  two  sheep; 

22  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  for  the  abundance  of 
milk  that  they  shall  give  he  shall  eat  butter :  for 
butter  and  honey  shall  every  one  eat  that  is  left  in 
the  midst  of  the  land. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  every 
place,  where  there  were  a  thousand  vines  at  a 
thousand   silverlings,  shall   even   be   for  briers  and 

24  thorns.  With  arrows  and  with  bows  shall  one  come 
thither;    because   all   the   land  shall  be  briers   and 

25  thorns.  And  all  the  hills  that  were  digged  with 
the  mattock,  '"thou  shalt  not  come  thither  for  fear 
of  briers  and  thorns,  but  it  shall  be  for  the  sending 
forth  of  oxen,  and  for  the  treading  of  sheep. 

O  And.  the  Lord  said  nnto  me.  Take  thee  a  great 
tablet,  and  write  upon  J,  "with  the  pen  of  a  man, 
2  For  '^Ma'her-shal'al-hash'-baz ;  and  I  will  take  unto 
me  faithful  witnesses  to  record,  U-ri'ah  the  priest 
3andZech-^a  ri'ahthesonofJe-ber-e-ohi'ah.  And  I  went 
unto  the  prophetess;  and  she  conceived,  and  bare 
a  son.     Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me.  Call  his  name 

4  Ma-her-shal'al-hash'baz.  For  before  the  child  shall 
have  knowledge  to  cry.  My  father,  and.  My  mother, 
the  riches  of  Da-mas'cus  and  the  spoil  of  Sa-ma'ri-a 
shall  be  carried  away  before  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

5  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  me  yet  again,  saying, 

6  Forasmuch  as  this  people  hath  refused  the  waters  of 
Shi-lo'ah  that  go  softly,  '^and  rejoice  '^in  Re'zin  and 

7  Rem-a-li'ah's  son;  now  therefore,  behold,  the  Lord 
bringeth  up  upon  them  the  waters  of  the  River,  strong 
and  many,  even  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  and  all  his 
glory:    and   he    shall   come    up  over   all  his  chan- 

8nels,  and  go  over  all  his  banks:  and  he  shall  sweep 
onward  into  Ju'dah;   he  shall  overflow   and  pass

8  ^The  Lord  sent  a  word  into  Ja'cob,  and  it  hatli  lighted 
upon  Is'ra-el. 

9  And  all  the  people  shall  know,  even  E'phra-im  and  the 
inhabitant  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  that  say  in  the  pride  and  stoutness 
of  heart, 

10  The  bricks  are  fallen  down,  but  we  will  build  with 
hewn  stones:  the  sycamores  are  cut  down,  but  we  will 
chauge  them  into  cedars. 

11  Therefore  the  Lord  shall  set  up  the  adversaries  of 
Re'zin  against  him,  and  tjoin  his  enemies  together; 

12  The  Syr'i-ans  before,and  the  Phi-lis'tines  behind;  and  they 
.shall  devour  Is'ra-el  fwith  open  mouth.  'For  all  this  his 
anger  is  not  turned  away,  but  his  hand  is  stretched  out  still. 

13  %^For  'the  people  turneth  not  unto  him  that  smiteth 
them,  neither  do  they  seek  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

14  Therefore  the  Lokd  will  cut  oiF  from  Is'ra-el  head  and 
tail,  branch  and  rush,  'in  one  day. 

15  The  ancient  and  honourable,  he  is  the  head;  and  the 
prophet  that  teacheth  lies,  he  is  the  tail. 

16  For  "II  the  leaders  of  this  people  cause  them  to  err;  and 
II  they  that  are  led  of  them  are  fdestroyed. 

17  Therefore  the  Lord  "^shall  have  no  joy  in  their  young 
men,  neither  shall  have  mercy  on  their  fatherless  and 
widows:  ^for  every  one  is  a  hypocrite  and  an  evil  doer, 
and  every  mouth  speaketh  ||  folly.  ''For  all  this  his  anger

CHAPTER  X. 

Israel  is  comforted  with  a  promise  of  deliverance  from  Assyria. 

WOE  unto  them  that  "decree  unrighteous  decrees,  and 
II  that  write  grievousness  which  they  have  prescribed ; 

2  To  turn  aside  the  needy  from  judgment,  and  to  take 
away  the  right  from  the  poor  of  my  people,  that  widows 
may  be  their  prey,  and  that  they  may  rob  the  fatherless ! 

3  And  ''wh£>^  will  ye  do  in  "the  day  of  visitation,  and  in 
the  desolation  which  shall  come  from  far?  to  whom  will 
ye  flee  for  help?  and  where  will  ye  leave  your  glory? 

4  Without  me  they  shall  bow  down  under  the  prisoners, 
and  they  shall  fall  under  the  slain.  ''For  all  this  his  anger 
is  not  turned  away,  but  his  hand  is  stretched  out  still. 

5  *ril  O  fAs-syr'i-an,  'the  rod  of  mine  anger,  ||  and  the 
staff"  in  their  hand  is  mine  indignation. 

6  I  Mill  send  him  against  -^a  hypocritical  nation,  and 
against  the  people  of  my  wrath  will  I  "give  him  a  charge, 
to  take  the  spoil,  and  to  take  the  prey,  and  fto  tread  them 
down  like  the  mire  of  the  streets. 

7  ''Howbeit  he  meaneth  not  so,  neither  doth  his  heart  think 
so;  'out  it  is  in  his  heart  to  destroy  and  cut  off"  nations  not  a  few. 

8  'For  he  saith.  Are  not  my  princes  altogether  kings? 

9  7s  not  '^Cal'no  'as  Car'che-mish  ?  is  not  Ha'math  as 
Ar'pad  ?  is  not  Sa-ma'ri-a  '"as  Da-mas'cus  ? 

10  As  my  hand  hath  found  the  kingdoms  of  the  idols, 
and  whose  graven  images  did  excel  them  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  and 
of  Sa-ma'ri-a ; 

11  Shall  I  not,  as  I  have  done  unto  Sa-ma'ri-a  and  her 
idols,  so  do  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  her  idols? 

12  Wherefore  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that,  when  the  Lord 


8  The  Lord  sent  a  word  into  Ja'cob,  and    it  hath 

9  lighted  upon  Is'ra-el.  And  all  the  people  shall 
know,  even  E'phra-im  and  the  inhabitant  of  Sa-ma'ri-a, 

10  that  say  in  pride  and  in  stoutness  of  heart.  The 
bricks  are  fallen,  but  we  will  build  with  hewn  stone  : 
the  sycomores  are  cut  down,  but   we   will    change 

11  them  into  cedars.  Therefore  the  Lord  'shall  set  up 
on  high  against  him  the  adversaries  of  Re'zin,  and 

12^shall  *stir  up  his  enemies;  the  Syr'i-ans  ^before,  and 
the  Phi-lis'tines  'behind;  and  they  "shall  devour 
Is'ra-el  with  open  mouth.  For  all  this  his  anger  is 
not  turned  away,  but  his  hand  is  stretched  out  still. 

13  Yet  the  people  hath  not  turned  unto  him  that 
smote  them,  neither  have  they  sought  the  Lord  of 

14  hosts.  Therefore  the  Lord  ^vill  cut  off"  from  Is'ra-el 
head  and  tail,   palm-branch   and  rush,   in   one  day. 

15  The  ^ancient  and  the  honourable  man,  he  i?  the 
bead;   and  the  prophet  that  teacheth  lies,  he  Is  the 

16  tail.  For  they  that  lead  this  people  cause  them  to 
err;  and  they  that  are  led  of  them  are  destroyed. 

1.7  Therefore  the  Lord  shall  not  rejoice  over  their  young 
men,  neither  shall  he  have  compassion  on.  their  father- 
less and  widows :  for  every  one  is  profane  and  an 
evil-doer,  and  every  mouth  speaketh  folly.  For  all 
this  his  anger  is  not  turned  away,  but  his  hand  is 
stretched  out  still. 

18  For  wickedness  burneth  as  the  fire;  it  devoureth 
the  briers  and  thorns:  yea,  it  kindleth  in  the 
thickets  of  the  forest,  and  they  roll  upward  in  thick 

19  clouds  of  smoke.  Through  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts  is  the  land  '"burnt  up :  the  people  also  are 
as  the  fuel  of  fire ;    no    man    spareth  his  brother. 

20  And  one  shall  snatch  on  the  right  hand,  and  be 
hungry ;  and  he  shall  eat  on  the  left  hand,  and  they 
shall  not  be  satisfied :  they  shall  eat  every  man  the 

21  flesh  of  his  own  arm  :  Ma-nas'seh,  E'phra-im ;  and 
E'phra-im,  Ma-nas'seh :  and  they  together  shall  be 
against  Ju'dah.  For  all  this  his  anger  is  not  turned 
away,  but  his  hand  is  stretched  out  still. 

-Iv      Woe  unto  them  that  decree  unrighteous  decrees, 

2  and  to  the  writers  that  write  perverseness :  to  turn 
aside  the  needy  from  judgement,  and  to  take  away 
the  right  of  the  poor  of  my  people,  that  widows  may 
be  their  spoil,  and  that  they  may  make  the  father- 

3  less  their  prey !  And  what  will  ye  do  in  the  day  of 
visitation,  and  in  the  desolation  which  shall  come 
from  far  ?  to  whom  will  ye  flee  for  help  ?  and  where 

4 will  ye  leave  your  glory?  "They  shall  only  bow 
down  under  the  prisoners,  and  shall  fall  under  the 
slain.  For  all  this  his  anger  is  not  turned  away, 
but  his  hand  is  stretched  out  still. 

5  '^Ho  As-syr'i-an,  the  rod  of  mine  anger,  the  staff  in 

6  whose  hand  is  mine  indignation !  I  will  send  him 
against  a  profane  nation,  and  against  the  people  of 
my  wrath  will  I  give  him  a  charge,  to  take  uhe  spoil, 
and  to  take  the  prey,  and  '^to  tread  them  down  like 

7  the  mire  of  the  streets.  Howbeit  he  meaneth  not 
so,  neither  doth  his  heart  think  so;  but  it  is  in  his 
heart  to  destroy,  and  to  cut  off  nations  not  a  few. 

8  For  he  saith.  Are  not  my  princes  all  of  them  kings ' 

9  Is  not  Cal'no  as  Car'che-mish  ?  is  not  Ha'math  as 

10  Ar'pad?  is  not  Sa-ma'ri-a  as  Da-mas'cus?  As  my

hath  performed  his  whole  work  "upon  mount  Zi'on  and  on 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  °I  will  fpunish  the  fruit  fof  the  stout  heart  of 
the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  the  glory  of  his  high  looks. 

13  "For  he  saith,  By  the  strength  of  my  hand  I  have 
done  it,  and  by  my  wisdom ;  for  I  am  prudent :  and  I  have 
removed  the  bounds  of  the  people,  and  have  robbed  their 
treasures,  and  I  have  put  down  the  inhabitants  ||  like  a 
valiant  man: 

14  And  «my  hand  hath  found  as  a  nest  the  riches  of  the 
people :  and  as  one  gathereth  eggs  that  are  left,  have  I 
gathered  all  the  earth ;  and  there  was  none  that  moved  the 
wingj  or  opened  the  mouth,  or  peeped. 

15  Shall  "^the  axe  boast  itself  again.st  him  that  heweth  there- 
with? or  shall  the  saw  magnify  itself  against  him  that  shak- 
eth  it?  II  as  if  the  rod  should  shake  itself  against  them  that 
lift  it  up,  or  as  if  the  staff  should  lift  up  ||  itself,  as  if  it  were 
no  wood. 

16  Therefore  shall  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts,  send 
among  his  'fat  ones  leanness;  and  under  his  glory  he  shall 
kindle  a  burning  like  the  burning  of  a  fire. 

17  And  the  light  of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  for  a  fire,  and  his 
Holy  One  for  a  flame :  'and  it  shall  burn  and  devour  his 
thorns  and  his  briers  in  one  day ; 

18  And  shall  consume  the  glory  of  his  forest,  and  of  "his 
fruitful  field,  fboth  soul  and  body :  and  they  shall  be  as 
when  a  standardbearer  fainteth. 

19  And  the  rest  of  the  trees  of  his  forest  shall  be  ffew, 
that  a  child  may  write  them. 

20  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the  remnant 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  such  as  are  escaped  of  the  house  of  Ja'cob, 
"^shall  no  more  again  stay  upon  him  that  smote  them :  but 
shall  stay  upon  the  Lord,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  in  truth. 

21  "The  remnant  shall  return,  even  the  remnant  of  Ja'cob, 
unto  the  mighty  God. 

22  'For  though  thy  people  Is'ra-el  be  as  the  sand  of  the

tion decreed  shall  overflow  ||with  righteousness. 

23  ''For  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  shall  make  a  consump- 
tion, even  determined,  in  the  midst  of  all  the  land. 

24  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts,  O  my 
people  that  dwellest  in  Zi'on,  ''be  not  afraid  of  the  As-syr- 
i-an:  he  shall  smite  thee  with  a  rod,  ||and  shall  lift  up  his

25  -'^For  yet  a  very  little  while,  "and  the  indignation  shall 
cease,  and  mine  anger  in  their  destruction. 

26  And  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  stir  up  *a  scourge  for 
him  according  to  the  slaughter  of  'Mid'i-an  at  the  rock  of 
O'reb :  and  *a«  his  rod  was  upon  the  sea,  so  shall  he  lift  it 
up  after  the  manner  of  E'gypt.

tshall  be  taken  away  from  off  thy  shoulder,  and  his  yoke 
from  off  thy  neck,  and  the  yoke  shall  be  destroyed  because 
of  "'the  anointing.

lodging  at  Ge  ba;  Ra'mah  is  afraid;  "Gib'e-ah  of  Saul  is  fled. 

30  fLift  up  thy  voice,  O  daughter  "of  Gal'lim :  cause  it  to 
be  heard  unto  'La'ish,  'O  poor  An'a-thoth. 

31  "Mad-me'nah  is  removed;  the  inhabitants  of  Ge'bim 
gather  themselves  to  flee. 

32  As  yet  shall  he  remain  'at  Nob  that  day :  he  shall 
•shake  his  hand  against  the  mount  of  'the  daughter  of 
Zi'on,  the  hill  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

33  Behold,  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  lop  the 
bough  with  terror :  and  "the  high  ones  of  stature  shall  be 
hewn  down,  and  the  haughty  shall  be  humbled.

of 


A  ND  "there  shall  come  forth  a  rod  out  of  the  stem 
i\-  *" Jesse,  anrf  ""a  Branch  shall  grow  out  of  his  roots: 

2  ''And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  shall  rest  upon  him,  the 
spirit  of  wisdom  and  understanding,  the  spirit  of  counsel  and 
might,  the  spirit  of  knowledge  and  of  the  fear  of  the  Lord  ; 

3  And  shall  make  him  of  quick  funderstanding  in  the 
fear  of  the  Lord  :  and  he  shall  not  judge  after  the  sight  of 
his  eyes,  neither  reprove  after  the  hearing  of  his  ears : 

4  But  'with   righteousness  shall  he  judge  the  poor,  and 
reprove  with   equity  for  the  meek  of  the  earth :  and  he 

shall  •'smite  the  earth  with  the  rod  of  his  mouth,  and  with 
the  breath  of  his  lips  shall  he  slay  the  wicked. 

5  And  "righteousness  shall  be  the  girdle  of  his  loins,  and 
faithfulness  the  girdle  of  his  reins. 

6  *The  wolf  also  shall  dwell  with  the  lamb,  and  the  leopard 
shall  lie  down  with  the  kid ;  and  the  calf  and  the  young  lion 
and  the  fatling  together ;  and  a  little  child  shall  lead  them. 

7  And  the  cow  and  the  bear  shall  feed ;  their  young  ones 
shall  lie  down  together :  and  the  lion  shall  eat  straw  like  the  ox. 

8  And  the  sucking  child  shall  play  on  the  hole  of  the  asp,  and 
the  weaned  child  shall  put  his  hand  on  the  ||  cockatrice'  den. 

9  'They  shall  not  hurt  nor  destroy  in  all  my  holy  mount- 
ain :  for  *the  earth  shall  be  full  of  the  knowledge  of  the 
Lord,  as  the  waters  cover  the  sea. 

10  ^'And  in  that  day  ""there  shall  be  a  root  of  Jesse, 
which  shall  stand  for  an  ensign  of  the  people ;  to  it  shall 
the  "Gentiles  seek :  and  'his  rest  shall  be  tglorious. 

11  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  "in  that  day,  that  the  Lord 
shall  set  his  hand  again  the  second  time  to  recover  the  rem- 
nant of  his  people,  which  shall  be  left,  'from  As-syr'i-a  and 
from  E'gypt,  and  from  Path'ros,  and  from  Cush,  and  from 
E'lam,  and  from  Shi'nar,  and  from  Ha'math,  and  from  the 
islands  of  the  sea. 

12  And  he  shall  set  up  an  ensign  for  the  nations,  and  shall 
assemble  the  outcasts  of  Is'ra-el,  and  gather  together  ''the 
dispersed  of  Ju'dah  from  the  four  fcorners  of  the  earth. 

13  'The  envy  also  of  E'phra-im  shall  depart,  and  the  ad- 
versaries of  Ju'dah  shall  be  cut  off:  E'phra-im  shall  not  envy 
Ju'dah,  and  Ju'dah  shall  not  vex  E'phra-im. 

14  But  they  shall  fly  upon  the  shoulders  of  the  Phi-lis'tines 
toward  the  west ;  they  shall  spoil  f  them  of  the  east,  together: 
'fthey  shall  lay  tdeir  hand  upon  E'dom  and  Mo'ab ;  fand 
the  children  of  Am'mon  "shall  obey  them. 

15  And  the  Lord  ^shall  utterly  destroy  the  tongue  of  the 
E-gyp'tian  sea ;  and  with  his  mighty  wind  shall  he  shake  his 
hand  over  the  river,  and  shall  smite  it  in  the  seven  streams, 
"and  make  men.  go  over  fdryshod. 

16  ^And  there  shall  be  a  highway  for  the  remnant  of  his 
people,  which  shall  be  left,  from  As-syr'i-a  :  "like  as  it  was  to 
Is'ra-el  in  the  day  that  he  came  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

A  joyful  thanksgiving  of  the  faithful  for  the  mercies  of  God. 

AND  "in  that  day  thou  shalt  say,  O  Lord,  I  will  praise 
thee :  though  thou  wast  angry  with  me,  thine  anger  is 
turned  away,  and  thou  comfortedst  me. 

2  Behold,  God  in  my  salvation ;  I  will  trust,  and  not  be 
afraid :  for  the  Lord  ''JEHOVAH  is  my  ''strength  and  my 
song;  he  also  is  become  my  salvation. 

3  Therefore  with  joy  shall  ye  draw  ''water  out  of  the  wells 
of  salvation. 

4  And  in  that  day  shall  ye  say,  'Praise  the  Lord,  ||  call 
upon  his  name,  Meclare  his  doings  among  the  people,  make 
mention  that  his  "name  is  exalted. 

5  ''Sing  unto  the  Lord;  for  he  hath  done  excellent  things: 
this  is  known  in  all  the  earth. 

6  'Cry  out  and  shout,  thou  finhabitant  of  Zi'on ;  for  great 
is  *the  Holy  One  of  la'ra-el  in  the  midst  of  thee. 


^-l  And  there  shall  come  forth  a  shoot  out  of  the 
stock  of  Jesse,  and  a  branch  out  of  his  roots  shall 

2  bear  fruit:  and  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  shall  rest  upon 
him,  the  «pirit  of  wisdom  and  understanding,  the 
spirit  of  counsel  and  might,  the  spirit  of  knowledge 

3 and  of  the  fear  of  the  Lord;  and  'his  Melight  shall 
be  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord:  and  he  shall  not  judge 
after  the  sight  of  his  eyes,  neither  ^reprove  after  the 

4 hearing  of  his  ears:  but  with  righteousness  shall  he 
judge  the  poor,  and  reprove  with  equity  for  the 
meek  of  the  ^earth  :  and  he  shall  smite  the^earth  with 
the  rod  of  his  mouth,  and  with  the  breath  of  his  lips 

5  shall  he  slay  the  wicked.  And  righteousness  shall  be 
the  girdle  of  his  loins,  and  faithfulness  the  girdle  of 

6  his  reins.  And  the  wolf  shall  dwell  Avith  the  lamb, 
and  the  leopard  shall  lie  down  with  the  kid ;  and  the 
calf  and  the  young  lion  and  the  fatling  together;  and 

7  a  little  child  shall  lead  them.  And  the  cow  and  the 
bear  shall  feed ;  their  young  ones  shall  lie  down  to- 

Sgether :  and  the  lion  shall  eat  straw  like  the  ox.  And 
the  sucking  child  shall  play  on  the  hole  of  the  asp,  and 
the  weaned   child   shall  put  his  hand  on  the  'basi- 

9  lisk's  den.  They  shall  not  hurt  nor  destroy  in  all 
my  holy  mountain  :  for  the  earth  shall  be  full  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  Lord,  as  the  waters  cover  the  sea. 

10  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
root  of  Jesse,  which  standeth  for  an  ensign  of  the 
peoples,  unto  him  shall  the  nations  seek ;  and  his 
resting  place  shall  be  "glorious. 

11  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
Lord  '.shall  set  his  hand  again  the  second  time  to  "re- 
cover the  remnant  of  his  people,  which  shall  remain, 
from  As-syr'i-a,  and  from  E'gypt,  and  from  Path'ros, 
and  from  Cush,  and  from  E'lam,  and  from  Shi'nar, 
and  from  Ha'math,  and  from  the  "islands  of  the  sea, 

1 2  And  he  shall  set  up  an  ensign  for  the  nations,  and 
shall  assemble  the  outcasts  of  Is'ra-el,  and  gather  to- 
gether the  dispersed  of  Ju'dah  from  the  four  corners 

13  of  the  earth.  The  envy  also  of  E'phra-im  shall  de- 
part, and  they  that  vex  ""Ju'dah  shall  be  cut  off 
E^phra-im  shall  not  envy  Ju'dah,  and  Ju'dah  shall 

14  not  vex  E'phra-im.  And  they  shall  fly  down  upon  the 
shoulder  of  the  Phi-lis'tines  on  the  west ;  together 
shall  they  spoil  the  children  of  the  east ;  they  shall 
put  forth  their  hand  upon  E'dom  and   Mo'ab;  and 

ISthe  children  of  Am'mon  shall  obey  them.  And  the 
Lord  shall  "utterly  destroy  the  tongue  of  the  E-gyp'- 
tian sea;  and  with  his  '^scorching  wind  shall  he 
shake  his  hand  over  the  River,  and  shall  smite  it 
into  seven  streams  and   cause  men   to   march   over 

16dryshod.  And  there  shall  be  an  high  way  for  the 
remnant  of  his  people,  which  shall  remain,  from 
As-syr'i-a ;  like  as  there  was  for  I.s'ra-el  in  the  day 
that  he  came  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

And  in  that  day  thou  shalt  say,  I  will  give  thanks 
unto  thee,  O  Lord;  for  though  thou  wast  angry  with 
me,  '^hine  anger  is  turned  away,  and  thou  comfortest 

2  me.  Behold,  God  is  my  salvation;  I  will  trust,  and  will 
not  be  afraid:  for  "the  Lord  jehovah  is  my  strength 

3  and  song ;  and  he  is  become  my  salvation.  Therefore 
with  joy  shall  ye  draw  water  out  of  the  wells  of  salva- 

4  tion.  And  in  that  day  shall  ye  say.  Give  thanks  unto 
the  Lord,  "call  upon  his  name,  declare  his  doings 
among  the  peoples,  make  mention  that  his  name  is 

6  exalted.  Sing  unto  the  Lord  ;  for  he  hath  done  '*ex- 
oellent  things;   "let  this  be  known  in  all  the  earth. 

6  Cry  aloud  and  shout,  thou  '"inhabitant  of  Zi'on  :  for 
great  is  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el  in  the  midst  of  thee.

CHAF-TER    XIII. 

God  mustereih  the  armies  of  his  wrath.     The  desolation  of  Babylon. 

THE  "burden  of  Bab'y-lon,  which  I-sa'iah   the  son  of 
A'moz  did  see. 

2  ''Lift  ye  up  a  banner  'upon  the  high  mountain,  exalt 
the  voice  unto  them,  ''shake  the  hand,  that  they  may  go 
into  the  gates  of  the  nobles. 

3  I  have  commanded  my  sanctified  ones,  I  have  also  called 
'my  mighty  ones  for  mine  anger,  even  them  that  •'rejoice  in 
my  highness. 

4  The  noise  ofa  multitude  in  themountains,  flikeasofagreat 
people;  a  tumultuous  noise  of  the  kingdoms  of  nationsgathered 
together:  the  Lord  of  hosts  mustereth  the  host  of  the  battle. 

5  They  come  from  a  far  country,  from  the  end  of  heaven, 
even  the  Lord,  and  the  weapons  of  his  indignation,  to 
destroy  the  whole  land. 

6  ^Howl  ye ;  "for  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  at  hand ;  *it 
shall  come  as  a  destruction  from  the  Almighty. 

7  Therefore  shall  all  hands  Ijbe  faint,  and  every  man's 
heart  shall  melt; 

8  And  they  shall  be  afraid ;  'pangs  and  sorrows  shall  take 
hold  of  them ;  they  shall  be  in  pain  as  a  woman  that  trav- 
aileth :  they  shall  fbe  amazed  fone  at  another ;  their  faces 
shall  be  as  fflames. 

9  Behold,  *the  day  of  the  Lord  cometh,  cruel  both  with 
wrath  and  fierce  anger,  to  lay  the  land  desolate:  and  he 
shall  destroy  'the  sinners  thereof  out  of  it. 

10  For  the  stars  of  heaven  and  the  constellations  thereof 
shall  not  give  their  light :  the  sun  shall  be  "darkened  in  his 
going  forth,  and  the  moon  shall  not  cause  her  light  to  shine. 

1 1  And  I  will  punish  the  world  for  their  evil,  and  the  wicked 
for  their  iniquity ;  "and  I  will  cause  the  arrogancy  of  the  proud 
to  cease,  and  will  lay  low  the  haughtiness  of  the  terrible. 

12  I  will  make  a  man  more  precious  than  fine  gold;  even 
a  man  than  the  golden  wedge  of  O'phir. 

13  "Therefore  I  will  shake  the  heavens,  and  the  earth  shall 
remove  out  of  her  place,  in  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
and  :'i  ''the  day  of  his  fierce  anger. 

14  And  it  shall  be  as  the  chased  roe,  and  as  a  sheep  that 
no  man  taketh  up:  'they  shall  every  man  turn  to  his  own 
people,  and  flee  every  one  into  his  own  land. 

15  Every  one  that  is  found  shall  be  thrust  through ;  and 
everj'  one  that  is  joined  unto  them  shall  fall  by  the  sword. 

16  Their  children  also  shall  be  'dashed  to  pieces  before  their 
eyes:  their  houses  shall  be  spoiled,  and  their  wives  ravished. 

1 7  'Behold,  I  will  stir  up  the  Medesagainst  them,  which  shall 
not  regard  silver;  and  asjor  gold,  they  shall  not  delight  in  it. 

18  Their  bows  also  shall  dash  the  young  men  to  pieces; 
and  they  shall  have  no  pity  on  the. fruit  of  the  womb;  their 
eye  shall  not  spare  children. 

19  ^'And  Bab'y-lon,  the  glory  of  kingdoms,  the  beauty  of 
the  Chal-dees'  excellency,  shall  be  fas  when  God  overthrew 
"Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah. 

20  'It  shall  never  be  inhabited,  neither  shall  it  be  dwelt  in 
from  generation  to  generation ;  neither  shall  the  A-ra'bi-an  pitch 
tent  there;  neither  shall  the  shepherds  make  their  fold  there. 

21  "But  fwild  beasts  of  the  desert  shall  lie  there;  and 
their  houses  shall  be  full  of  fdoleful  creatures;  and  ||  fowls 
shafl  dwell  there,  and  satyrs  shall  dance  there. 

99  Andfthe  wild  beasts  of  the  islands  shall  cry  in  their  ||des- 
ciate  houses,  and  dragons  in  their  pleasant  palaces:  'and  her 
time  is  near  to  come,  and  her  days  shall  not  be  prolonged. 
CHAPTER   XIV. 

God's  merciful  restoration  of  Israel.    Palestina  threatened. 

FOR  the  Lord  "will  have  mercy  on  Ja'cob,  and  'will  yet 
choose  Is'ra-el,  and  set  them  in  their  own  land;  'and  the 
.strangers  shall  be  joined  with  them,  and  they  shall  cleave 
to  the  house  of  Ja'cob. 
2  And  the  people  shall  take  them,  ''and   bring  them  to 


iO  The  'burden  of  Bab'y-lon,  which  I-sa'iah  the  son 
of  A-moz  did  see. 

2  Set  ye  up  an  ensign  upon  the  bare  mountain,  lift 
up  the  voice  unto  them,  wave  the  hand,  that  they 

3  may  go  into  the  gates  of  the  nobles.  I  have  com- 
manded my  consecrated  ones,  yea,  I  have  called  my 
mighty    men    for    mine  anger,  even  ^my    proudly 

4  exulting  ones.  The  noise  of  a  multitude  in  the 
mountains,  like  as  of  a  great  people !  the  noise  of  a 
tumult  of  the  kingdoms  of  the  nations  gathered  to- 
gether! the  Lord  of  hosts  mustereth  the  host  for 

5  the  battle.  They  come  from  a  far  country,  from 
the  uttermost  part  of  heaven,  even  the  Lord,  and 
the  weapons  of  his  indignation,  to  destroy  the  whole 

6  land.  Howl  ye ;  for  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  at 
hand;  as  destruction   from    'the   Almighty  shall    it 

7  come.      Therefore    shall   all    hands   be   feeble,    and 

8  every  heart  of  man  shall  melt :  and  they  shall  be 
dismayed;  *pangs  and  sorrows  shall  take  hold  of 
them ;  they  shall  be  in  pain  as  a  woman  in  travail : 
they  shall  be  amazed   one  at   another;  their  faces 

9  shall  be  faces  of  flame.  Behold,  the  day  of  the  Lord 
Cometh,  cruel,  with  wrath  and  fierce  anger;  to 
make    the    land    a  desolation,  and  to  destroy   the 

10  sinners  thereof  out  of  it.  For  the  stars  of  heaven 
and  the  constellations  thereof  shall  not  give  their 
light :  the  sun  shall  be  darkened  in  his  going  forth, 
and  the  moon  shall  not   cause   her  light   to  shine. 

11  And  I  will  punish  the  world  for  their  evil,  and  the 
wicked  for  their  iniquity :  and  I  will  cause  the 
arrogancy  of  the  proud  to  cease,  and  will  lay  low 

1 2  the  haughtiness  of  the  terrible.  I  will  make  a  man 
more  rare  than  fine  gold,  even  a  man  than  the  pure 

13  gold  of  O'phir.  Therefore  I  will  make  the  heavens 
to  tremble,  and  the  earth  shall  be  shaken  out  of  her 
place,  in  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  in  the 

14  day  of  his  fierce  anger.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  as  the  chased  'roe,  and  as  sheep  that  no  man 
gathereth,  they  shall  turn  every  man  to  his  own 
people,  and  shall  flee  every  man  to  his  own  land. 

15  Every  one  that  is  found  shall  be  thrust  through ; 
and  every  one  that  is  ^taken  shall  fall  by  the  sword. 

16  Their  infants  also  shall  be  dashed  in  pieces  before 
their  eyes;  their  houses  shall  be  spoiled,  and  their 

17  wives  ravished.  Behold,  I  will  stir  up  the  Medes 
against  them,  which  shall  not  regard  silver,  and  as 

18  for  gold,  they  shall  not  delight  in  it.  And  their 
bows  shall  dash  the  young  men  in  pieces;  and 
they  shall  have  no  pity  on  the  fruit  of  the  womb; 

19  their  eye  shall  not  spare  children.  And  Bab'y-lon, 
the  glory  of  kingdoms,  the  beauty  of  the  Chal-de'ans' 
pride,  shall  be  as  when  God  overthrew  Sod'om  and 

20  Go-mor'rah.  It  shall  never  be  inhabited,  neither 
shall  it  be  dwelt  in  from  generation  to  ge»eration : 
neither  shall  the  A-ra'bi-an  pitch  tent  there ;  neither 
shall  shepherds  make  their  flocks  to  lie  down  there. 

21  But  wild  beasts  of  the  desert  .shall  lie  there ;  and 
their  houses  shall  be  full  of  doleful  creatures ;  and 
ostriches  shall  dwell  there,  and  'satyrs  shall  dance 

22  there.  And  ^wolves  shall  'cry  in  their  ca.stles, 
and  jackals  in  the  pleasant  palaces :  and  her  time  is 

near  to  come,  and  her  days  shall  not  be  prolonged. 

For  the  Lord  will  have  compassion  on  Ja'cob,  and 

will  yet  choose  Is'ra-el,  and  set  them  in  their  own 

land :  and  the  stranger  shall  join  him.self  with  them, 

2  and  they  shall  cleave  to  the  house  of  Ja'cob.     And 

the  peoples  shall  take  them,    and  bring  them    to

the  land  of  the  Lord  for  servants  and  handmaids:  and 
they  shall  take  them  captives,  fwhose  captives  they  were ; 
'and  they  shall  rule  over  their  oppressors. 

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the  day  that  the  Lord 
shall  give  thee  rest  from  thy  sorrow,  and  from  thy  fear,  and 
from  the  hard  bondage  wherein  thou  wast  made  to  serve, 

4  %^That  thou  -^shalt  take  up  this  ||  proverb  against  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  say,  How  hath  the  oppressor  ceased ! 
the  II 'golden  city  ceased! 

5  The  Lord  hath  broken  'the  staff  of  the  wicked  and  the 
sceptre  of  the  rulers. 

6  He  who  smote  the  people  in  wrath  with  fa  continual 
stroke,  he  that  ruled  the  nations  in  anger,  is  persecuted, 
and  none  hindereth. 

7  The  whole  earth  is  at  rest,  and  is  quiet :  they  break 
forth  into  singing. 

8  'Yea,the  fir  trees  rejoice  at  thee,  and  the  cedars  of  Leb'a-non, 
saying,  Since  thou  art  laid  down,no  feller  is  come  up  against  us. 

9  *||  Hell  from  beneath  is  moved  for  thee  to  meet  thee  at 
thy  coming:  it  stirreth  up  the  dead  for  thee,  even  all  the 
til  chief  ones  of  the  earth;  it  hath  raised  up  from  their 
thrones  all  the  kings  of  the  nations. 

10  All  they  shall  speak  and  say  unto  thee.  Art  thou  also 
become  weak  as  we  ?     Art  thou  become  like  unto  us  ? 

11  Thy  pomp  is  brought  down  to  the  grave,  and  the 
noise  of  thy  viols:  the  worm  is  spread  under  thee,  and  the 
worms  cover  thee. 

12  'How  art  thou  fallen  from  heaven,  jjO  Lu'ci-fer,  son  of 
the  morning !  how  art  thou  cut  down  to  the  ground,  which 
didst  weaken  the  nations ! 

13  For  thou  hast  said  in  thine  heart,  "I  will  ascend  into 
heaven,  "I  will  exalt  my  throne  above  the  stars  of  God : 
I  will  sit  also  upon  the  mount  of  the  congregation,  "in  the 
sides  of  the  north  : 

14  I  will  ascend  above  the  heights  of  the  clouds;  "I  will 
be  like  the  Most  High. 

15  Yet  thou  'shalt  be  brought  down  to  hell,  to  the  sides 
of  the  pit. 

16  They  that  see  thee  shall  narrowly  look  upon  thee,  and 
consider  thee,  saying,  Is  this  the  man  that  made  the  earth 
to  tremble,  that  did  shake  kingdoms ; 

17  That  made  the  world  as  a  wilderness,  and  destroyed  the 
cities  thereof;  that  ||  opened  not  the  house  of  his  prisoners? 

18  All  the  kings  of  the  nations,  even  all  of  them,  lie  in 
glory,  every  one  in  his  own  house. 

19  But  thou  art  cast  out  of  thy  grave  like  an  abominable 
branch,  and  as  the  raiment  of  those  that  are  slain,  thrust 
through  with  a  sword,  that  go  down  to  the  stones  of  the  pit ; 
as  a  carcass  trodden  under  feet. 

20  Thou  shalt  not  be  joined  with  them  in  burial,  because 
thou  hast  destroyed  thy  land,  and  slain  thy  people:  ''the 
seed  of  evil  doers  shall  never  be  renowned. 

21  Prepare  slaughter  for  his  children  'for  the  iniquity  of 
their  fathers;  that  they  do  not  rise,  nor  possess  the  land, 
nor  fill  the  face  of  the  world  with  cities. 

22  For  I  will  rise  up  against  them,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  and  cut  off  from  Bab'y-lon  'the  name,  and  "remnant, 
'and  son,  and  nephew,  saith  the  Lord. 

23  "I  will  also  make  it  a  possession  for  the  bittern,  and 
pools  of  water :  and  I  will  sweep  it  with  the  besom  of 
destruction,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

24  HThe  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sworn,  saying,  Surely  as  I 
have  thought,  so  shall  it  come  to  pass ;  and  as  I  have 
purposed,  so  shall  it  stand  : 

2.5  That  I  will  break  the  As-syr'i-an  in  my  land,  and  upon  my 
mountains  tread  him  under  foot:  then  shall  "his  yoke  depart 
from  off  them,  and  his  burden  depart  from  off  their  shoulders. 

26  This  is  the  purpose  that  is  purposed  upon  the  whole  earth: 


their  place :  and  the  house  of  Israel  shall  possess  them 
in  the  land  of  the  Lord  for  servants  and  for  hand- 
maids: and  they  shall  take  them  captive,  whose 
captives  they  were;  and  they  shall  rule  over  their 
oppressors. 

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the  day  that  the 
Lord  shall  give  thee  rest  from  thy  sorrow,  and 
from    thy    trouble,    and    from    the    hard    service 

4  wherein  thou  wast  made  to  serve,  that  thou 
shalt  take  up  this  parable  against  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  and  say.  How  hath  the  oppressor  ceased ! 

5 the  'golden  city  ceased!  The  Lord  hath  broken 
the  staff  of  the  wicked,  the  sceptre  of  the  rulers ; 

6  "that  smote  the  peoples  in  wrath  with  a  continual 
stroke,  that  ruled  the  nations  in  anger,  with  a  per 

7secution  that  none  restrained.  The  whole  earth  is 
at  rest,  and  is  quiet:  they  break  forth  into  singing. 

8  Yea,  the  fir  trees  rejoice  at  thee,  and  the  cedars  of 
Leb'a-non,  saying,  Since  thou  art  laid  down,  no  feller 

9  is  come  up  against  us.  'Hell  from  beneath  is  moved 
for  thee  to  meet  thee  at  thy  coming:  it  stirreth  up 
*the  dead  for  thee,  even  all  the  'chief  ones  of  the 
earth ;  it  hath  raised  up  from  their  thrones  all  the 

10  kings  of  the  nations.  All  they  shall  answer  and  say 
unto  thee.  Art  thou  also  become  weak  as  we?    art 

11  thou  become  like  unto  us?  Thy  pomp  is  brought 
down  to  %ell,  and  the  noise  of  thy  viols :  the  worm 

12  is  spread  under  thee,  and  worms  cover  thee.  How 
art  thou  fallen  from  heaven,  O  day  star,  son  of  the 
morning!  how  art  thou  cut   down   to   the   ground, 

13 which  didst  lay  low  the  nations!  And  thou  saidst 
in  thine  heart,  I  will  ascend  into  heaven,  I  will 
exalt  my  throne  above  the  stars  of  God ;  and  I  will 
sit   upon  the  mount  of  congregation,  in  the  utter- 

14  most  parts  of  the  north :  I  will  ascend  above  the 
heights   of  the  clouds;    I   will  be   like  the   Most 

15  High.     Yet  thou  shalt  be  brought  down  to  'hell,  to 

16  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  pit.  They  that  see  thee 
shall  narrowly  look  upon  thee,  they  shall  consider 
thee,  saying,  Is  this  the  man  that  made  the  earth  to 

17 tremble,  that  did  shake  kingdoms;  that  made  the 
world  as  a  wilderness,  and  overthrew  the  cities 
thereof;    that  let  not  loose   his   prisoners   to   their 

18  home?     All  the  kings  of  the  nations,  all  of  them, 

19  sleep  in  glory,  every  one  in  his  own  house.  But 
thou  art  cast  forth  away  from  thy  sepulchre  like  an 
abominable  branch,  ^clothed  with  the  slain,  that  are 
thrust  through  with  the  sword,  that  go  down  to  the 
stones  of  the  pit;  as  a  carcase  trodden  under  foot. 

20  Thou  shalt  not  be  joined  with  them  in  burial, 
because  thou  hast  destroyed  thy  land,  thou  hast 
slain    thy    people;    the    seed    of   evil-doers    shall 

21  not  be  named  for  ever.  Prepare  ye  "slaughter 
for  his  children  for  the  iniquity  of  their  fathers ; 
that    they    rise    not    up    and    possess    the    earth, 

22  and  fill  the  face  of  the  world  with  cities.  And  I 
will  rise  up  against  them,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
and   cut   off   from    Bab'y-lon    name    and    remnant, 

23  and  son  and  son's  son,  saith  the  Lord.  I  will  also 
make  it  a  possession  for  the  porcupine,  and  pools 
of  water:  and  I  will  sweep  it  with  the  besom  of 
destruction,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

24  The  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sworn,  saying,  Surely  as  I 
have  thought,  so  shall  it  come  to  pass ;  and  as  I  have 

25  purposed,  so  shall  it  stand:  that  I  will  break  the  As-syr'- 
ian  in  my  land,  and  uf)on  my  mountains  tread  him 
under  foot:  then  shall  his  yoke  depart  from  off  them, 

26  and  his  burden  depart  from  off  their  shoulder.  This 
is  the  purpose  that  is  purposed  upon  the  whole  earth :  |

and  this  i«  the   hand  that  is  stretched   out  upon  all  the 
nations. 

27  For  the  Loed  of  hosts  hath  "purposed,  and  who  shall 
disannul  itf  and  his  hand  is  stretched  out,  and  who  shall 
turn  it  back? 

28  In  the  year  that  'king  A'haz  died  was  this  burden. 

29  ^Rejoice  not  thou,  whole  Pal-es-ti'na,  ''because  the 
rod  of  him  that  smote  thee  is  broken :  for  out  of  the  ser- 
pent's root  shall  come  forth  a  ||  cockatrice,  ''and  his  fruit 
shall  be  a  fiery  flying  serpent. 

30  And  the  firstborn  of  the  poor  shall  feed,  and  the  needy 
shall  lie  down  in  safety  :  and  I  will  kill  thy  root  with  famine, 
and  he  shall  slay  thy  remnant. 

31  Howl,  O  gate :  cry,  O  city ;  thou,  whole  Pal-es-ti'na, 
art  dissolved:  for  there  shall  come  from  the  north  a  smoke, 
and  II  none  shall  be  alone  in  his  ||  appointed  times. 

32  What  shall  one  then  answer  the  mes.sengers  of  the  nation  ? 
That  'the  Lord  hath  founded  Zi'on,  and^the  poor  of  his  people 
shall  II  trust  in  it.     CHAPTER  XV. 

The  Uimentable  state  of  Moab. 

THE  "burden  of  Mo'ab.     Because  in  the  night  'Ar  of 
Mo'ab  is  laid  waste,  and  ||  brought  to  silence ;  because  in 
the  night  Kir  of  Mo'ab  is  laid  waste,  and  brought  to  silence; 

2  "He  is  gone  up  to  Ba'jith,  and  to  Di'bon,  the  high  places, 
to  v/eep :  Mo'ab  shall  howl  over  Ne'bo,  and  over  Med'e-ba : 
''on  all  their  heads  shall  be  baldness,  and  every  beard  cut  off. 

3  In  their  streets  they  shall  gird  themselves  with  sack- 
cloth :  'on  the  tops  of  their  houses,  and  in  their  streets,  every 
one  shall  howl,  fweeping  abundantly. 

4  And  Hesh'bon  shall  cry,  ■'and  E-le-a'leh  :  their  voice  shall 
be  heard  even  unto  Ja'haz:  therefore  the  armed  soldiers  of 
Mo'ab  shall  cry  out ;  his  life  shall  be  grievous  unto  him. 

5  "My  heart  shall  cry  out  for  Mo'ab ;  ||  his  fugitives  «Aa?^_^ee 
unto  Zo'ar,  a  *heifer  of  three  years  old  :  for 'by  the  mounting 
up  of  Lu'hith  with  weeping  shall  they  go  it  up;  for  in  the 
way  of  Hor-o-na'im  they  shall  raise  up  a  cry  of  fdestruction. 

6  For  the  waters  *of  Nim'rim  shall  be  fdesolate:  for  the  hay 
is  withered  away,  the  grass  faileth,  there  is  no  green  thing. 

7  Therefore  the  abundance  they  have  gotten,  and  that 
which  they  have  laid  up,  shall  they  carry  away  to  the 
II  brook  of  the  willows. 

8  For  the  cry  is  gone  round  about  the  borders  of  Mo'ab ; 
the  howling  thereof  unto  Eg'la-im,  and  the  howling  thereof 
unto  Be'er-e'lim. 

9  For  the  waters  of  Di'mon  shall  be  full  of  blood :  for  I 
will  bring  fmore  upon  Di'mon,  'lions  upon  him  that  escapeth 
of  Mo'ab,  and  upon  the  remnant  of  the  land. 

CHAPTER   XVI. 

Moab  is  thrtatened  for  ker  pride, 

SEND  -^-e  the  lamb  to  the  ruler  of  the  land  'from  ||  fSe'la 
to  the  wilderness  unto  the  mount  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on. 

2  For  it  shall  be,  that,  as  a  wandering  bird  ||  cast  out  of  the 
nest,  so  the  daughters  of  Mo'ab  shall  be  at  the  fords  of ''Ar'non. 

3  fTake  counsel,  execute  judgment ;  make  thy  shadow  as 
the  night  in  the  midst  of  the  noonday ;  hide  the  outcasts ; 
bewray  not  him  that  wandereth. 

4  Let  mine  outcasts  dwell  with  thee,  Mo'ab ;  be  thou  a 
covert  to  them  from  the  face  of  the  spoiler :  for  the  fex- 
tortioner  is  at  an  end,  the  spoiler  ceaseth,  fthe  oppressors 
are  consumed  out  of  the  land. 

5  And  in  mercy  ''shall  the  throne  be  ||  established :  and  he 
shall  sit  upon  it  in  truth  in  the  tabernacle  of  Da'vid,  'judg- 
ing, and  seeking  judgment,  and  hasting  righteousness. 

6  l[We  have  heard  of  the  -''pride  of  Mo'ab ;  he  is  very 
proud:  even  of  his  haughtiness,  and  his  pride,  and  his 
wrath :  'bvi  his  lies  shall  not  be  so. 

7  Therefore  shall  Mo'ab  *howl  for  Mo'ab,  every  one  shall 
howl :  for  the  foundations  'of  Kir-har'e-seth  shall  ye 
II  mourn :  surely  they  are  stricken. 


and  this  is  the  hand  that  is  stretched  out  upon  all  the 

27  nations.  For  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  purposed,  and 
who  shall  disannul  it?  and  his  hand  is  stretched  out, 
and  who  shall  turn  it  back? 

28  In  the  year  that  king  A'haz  died  was  this  'burden. 

29  Rejoice  not,  O  Phi-lis'ti-a,  all  of  thee,  because  the 
rod  that  smote  thee  is  broken  :  for  out  of  the  ser- 
pent's root  shall  come  forth  a  ^basilisk,  and  his  fruit 

30  shall  be  a  fiery  flying  serpent.  And  the  firstborn 
of  the  poor  shall  feed,  and  the  needy  shall  He  down 
in  safety :  and  I  will  kill  thy  root  with  famine,  and 

31  thy  remnant  shall  be  slain.  Howl,  O  gate ;  cry,  O 
city  ;  thou  art  melted  away,  O  Phi-lis'ti-a,  all  of  thee ; 
for  there   cometh  a  smoke  out    of    the    north,  and 

32 'none  standeth  aloof  at  his  appointed  times.  What 
then  shall  one  answer  the  mes.sengers  of  the  nation  ? 
That  the  Lord  hath  founded  Zi'on,  and  in  her  shall 
the  afflicted  of  his  people  take  refuge. 

lO  The  ^burden  of  Mo'ab. 

For  'in  a  night  Ar  of  Mo'ab  is  laid  waste,   and 
brought  to  nought ;  for  'in  a  night  Kir  of  Mo'ab  is 

2  laid  waste,  and  brought  to  nought.  *He  is  gone  up 
to  'Ba'yith,  and  to  Di'bon,  to  the  high  places,  to  weep  : 
Mo'ab  howleth  *over  Ne'bo,  and  *over  Med'e-ba  :  on 
all  their  heads  is  baldness,  every  beard  is  cut  off. 

3  In  their  streets  they  gird  themselves  with  sackcloth  : 
on  their  housetops,  and  in  their  broad  places,  every 

4  one  howleth,  weeping  abundantly.  And  Hesh'bon 
crieth  out,  and  E-le-a'leh ;  their  voice  is  heard  even 
unto  Ja'haz:  therefore  the  armed  men  of  Mo'ab  cry 

5 aloud',  his  soul  trembleth  within  him.  My  heart 
crieth  out  for  Mo'ab ;  her  'nobles  flee  unto  Zo'ar,  '"to 
Eg'lath-she-lish-i'yah :  for  by  the  ascent  of  Lu'hith 
with  weeping  they  go  up;  forinthe  way  of  Hor-o-na'im 

6  they  raise  up  a  cry  of  destruction.  For  the  waters 
of  Nim'rim  shall  be  "desolate :  for  the  grass  is  with- 
ered away,  the  tender  grass  faileth,  there  is  no  green 

7  thing.  Therefore  the  abundance  they  have  gotten, 
and  that  which  they  have  laid  up,  shall  they  carry 

8  away  "to  the  brook  of  the  willows.  For  the  cry  is 
gone  round  about  the  borders  of  Mo'ab ;  the  howling 
thereof  unto  Eg'la-im,  and  the  howling  thereof  unto 

9  Be'er-e'lim.  For  the  waters  of  Di'mon  are  full  of 
blood  :  for  I  will  bring  yet  more  upon  Di'mon, a  lion 
upon  him  that  escapeth  of  Mo'ab,  and  upon  the 
remnant  of  the  land. 

-to  "Send  ye  the  lambs  for  the  ruler  of  the  land  from 
"Se'la,  ^''which   is   toward  the  wilderness,  unto    the 

2  mount  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on.  For  it  shall  be 
that,  as  wandering  birds,  as  a  scattered  uest,  so  shall 
the  daughters  of  Mo'ab  be  at  the  fords  of  Ar'non. 

3 Give  counsel,  execute  judgement;  make  thy  shadow 
as  the  night  in  the  midst  of  the  noonday :  hide  the 

4 outcasts;  bewray  not  the  wanderer.  "Let  mine 
outcasts  dwell  with  thee;  as  for  Mo'ab,  be  thou  a 
covert  to  him  from  the  face  of  the  spoiler:  for  ''the 
extortioner  is  brought  to   nought,  spoiling  ceaseth, 

5'*the  oppressors  are  consumed  out  of  the  land.  And 
a  throne  shall  be  established  in  mercy,  and  one  shall 
sit  thereon  in  truth,  in  the  tent  of  Da'vid ;  judging, 
and  seeking  judgement,  and  swift  to  do  righteousness. 

6  We  have  heard  of  the  pride  of  Mo'ab,  that 
he  is  very  proud;  even  of  his  arrogancy,  and 
his     pride,    and     his     wrath ;     his     boastings    are 

7  nought.  Therefore  shall  Mo'ab  howl  for  Mo'ab, 
every  one  shall  howl :  for  the  "raisin-cakes  of 
Kir-har'e-seth    shall    ye    mourn,    utterly    stricken.

8  For  *the  fields  of  Hesh'bon  languish,  and  'the  vine  of 
Sib'mah :  the  lords  of  the  heathen  have  broken  down  the 
principal  plants  thereof,  they  are  come  even  unto  Ja'zer, 
they  wandered  through  the  wilderness:  her  branches  are 
II  stretched  out,  they  are  gone  over  the  sea. 

9  ^Therefore  ™I  will  bewail  with  the  weeping  of  Ja'zer  the 
vine  of  Sib'mah :  I  will  water  thee  with  my  tears,  "O  Hesh'- 
bon, and  E-le-a'leh :  for  ||the  shouting  for  thy  summer  fruits 
and  for  thy  harvest  is  feJlen. 

10  And  "gladness  is  taken  away,  and  joy  out  of  the  plentiful 
field ;  and  in  the  vineyards  there  shall  be  no  singing,  neither 
shall  there  be  shouting :  the  treaders  shall  tread  out  no  wine 
in  their  presses ;  I  have  made  their  vintage  shouting  to  cease. 

11  Wherefore  ^my  bowels  shall  sound  like  a  harp  for 
Mo'ab,  and  mine  inward  parts  for  Kir-ha'resh. 

12  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  it  is  seen  that  Mo'ab 
is  weary  on  'the  high  place,  that  he  shall  come  to  his  sanc- 
tuary to  pray;  but  he  shall  not  prevail. 

13  This  is  the  word  that  the  Lord  hath  spoken  concern- 
ing Mo'ab  since  that  time. 

14  But  now  the  Lord  hath  spoken,  saying.  Within  three 
years,  'as  the  years  of  a  hireling,  and  the  glory  of  Mo'ab 
shall  be  contemned,  with  all  that  great  multitude ;  and  the 
remnant  ahaU  be  very  small  and  ||  feeble. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 

Syria  and  Israel  threatened.     The  woe  of  IsraeVs  enemies, 

THE  "burden  of  Da-mas'cus.     Behold,  Da-mas'cus  is  taken 
away  from  being  a  city,  and  it  shall  be  a  ruinous  heap. 

2  The  cities  of  Ar'o-er  are  forsaken :  they  shall  be  for  flocks, 
which  shall  lie  down,  and  ''none  shall  make  tliem  afraid. 

3  "The  fortress  also  shall  cease  from  E'phra-im,  and  the  king- 
dom from  Da-mas'cus,  and  the  remnant  of  Syr'i-a :  they  shall  be 
as  the  glory  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

4  And  in  that  day  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the  glory  of 
Ja'cob  shall  be  made  thin,  and  ''the  fatness  of  his  flesh  shall 
wax  lean. 

5  'And  it  shall  be  as  when  the  harvestman  gathereth  the 
corn,  and  reapeth  the  ears  with  his  arm ;  and  it  shall  be  as 
he  that  gathereth  ears  in  the  valley  of  Reph'a-im. 

6  ^-^Yet  gleaning  grapes  shall  be  left  in  it,  as  the  shaking 
of  an  olive  tree,  two  or  three  berries  in  the  top  of  the  upper- 
most bough,  four  or  five  in  the  outmost  fruitful  branches 
thereof,  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  At  that  day  shall  a  man  'look  to  his  Maker,  and  his 
eyes  shall  have  respect  to  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

8  And  he  shall  not  look  to  the  altars,  the  work  of  his 
hands,  neither  shall  respect  that  which  his  fingers  have 
made,  either  the  groves,  or  the  ||  images. 

9  %^In  that  day  shall  his  strong  cities  be  as  a  forsaken 
bough,  and  an  uppermost  branch,  which  they  left  because 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el:  and  there  shall  be  desolation. 

10  Becau,se  thou  hast  forgotten  ''the  God  of  thy  salvation, 
and  hast  not  been  mindful  of  the  Rock  of  thy  strength, 
therefore  shalt  thou  plant  pleasant  plants,  and  shalt  set  it 
with  strange  slips : 

11  In  the  day  shalt  thou  make  thy  plant  to  grow,  and  in 
the  morning  shalt  thou  make  thy  seed  to  flourish :  hut 
the  harvest  shall  be  ||a  heap  in  the  day  of  grief  and  of 
desperate  sorrow. 

12  IJWoe  to  the  ||  multitude  of  many  people,  tohidi  make  a 
noi.se  'like  the  noise  of  the  seas;  and  to  the  rushing  of  nations, 
that  make  a  rushing  like  the  rushing  of  ||  mighty  waters! 

13  The  nations  shall  rush  like  the  rushing  of  many  waters: 
but  God  shall  *rebuke  them,  and  they  shall  flee  far  off,  and 
'shall  be  chased  as  the  ohaff  of  the  mountains  before  the 
wind,  and  like  i|  a  rolling  thing  before  the  whirlwind. 

14  And  behold  at  eveningtide  trouble  ;  and  before  the 
morning  he  is  not.  This  is  the  portion  of  them  that  spoil 
us,  and  the  lot  of  them  that  rob  us. 


8  For  the  fields  of  Hesh'bon  languish,  and  the  vine  of 
Sib'mah;  'the  lords  of  the  nations  have  broken  down  the 
choice  plants  thereof;  they  reached  even  unto  Ja'zer, 
they    wandered    into    the   wilderness;  her  branches 

9  were  spread  abroad,  they  passed  over  the  sea.  There- 
fore I  will  weep  with  the  weeping  of  Ja'zer  for  the  vine 
of  Sib'mah  :  I  wiU  water  thee  with  my  tears,  O  Hesh'- 
bon, and  E-le-a'leh :  for  upon  thy  summer  fruits  and 

10  upon  thy  harvest  the  battle  shout  is  fallen.  And  glad- 
ness is  taken  away,  and  joy  out  of  the  fruitful  field ;  and 
in  the  vineyards  there  shall  be  no  singing,  neither 
joyful  noise:  no  treader  shall  tread  out  wine  in  the 
presses;    I  have  made  the    vintage   shout   to   cease. 

11  Wherefore  my  bowels  sound  like  an  harp  for  Mo'ab, 

12  and  mine  inward  parts  for  Kir-he'res.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  Mo'ab  presenteth  himself,  when  he 
wearieth  himself  upon  the  high  place,  and  shall  come 
to  his  sanctuary  to  pray,  that  he  shall  not  prevail. 

13  This  is  the  word  that  the  Lord  spake  concerning 

14  Mo'ab  in  time  past.  But  now  the  Lord  hath  spoken, 
saying.  Within  three  years,  as  the  years  of  an  hire- 
ling, and  the  glory  of  Mo'ab  shall  be  brought  into 
contempt,  with  all  his  great  multitude;  and  the 
remnant  shall  be  very  small  and  of  bo  account. 

-L'      The  ^burden  of  Da-mas'cus. 

Behold,  Da-mas'cus  is  taken  away  from  being  a  city, 

2  and  it  shall  be  a  ruinous  heap.  The  cities  of  Ar'o-er  are 
forsaken  :  they  shall  be  for  flocks,  which  shall  liedown, 

3  and  none  shall  make  them  afraid.  The  fortress  also 
shall  cease  from  E'phra-im,  and  the  kingdom  'from 
Da-mas'cus,  and  the  remnant  of  Syr'i-a;  they  shall 
be  as  the  glory  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts.    • 

4  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the  glory 
of  Ja'cob  shall  be  made  thin,  and  the  fatness  of  his  flesh 

5  shall  wax  lean.  And  it  shall  be  as  when  the  harvest- 
man  gathereth  the  standing  corn,  and  his  arm  reapeth 
the  ears;  yea,  it  shall  be  as  when  one  gleaneth  ears  in 

6  the  valley  of  Reph'a-im.  Yet  there  shall  be  left  therein 
gleanings,  as  the  ^shaking  of  an  olive  tree,  two  or  three 
berries  in  the  top  of  the  uppermost  bough,  four  or  five 
in  the  outmost  branches  of  a  fruitful  tree,  saith  the 

7  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.  In  that  day  shall  a  man  look 
unto  his  Maker,  and  his  eyes  shall  have  i-espect  to  the 

8  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el.  And  he  shall  not  look  to  the 
altars,  the  work  of  his  hands,  neither  shall  he  have 
respect  to  that  which  his  fingers  have  made,  either  the 

9  'Ash'er-im,  or  the  sun-images.  In  that  day  shall  his 
strong  cities  be  as  the  forsaken  places  ^in  the  wood 
and  on  the  mountain  top,  which  were  forsaken 
from  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  and  it  shall  be  a 

10  desolation.  For  thou  hast  forgotten  the  God  of  thy 
salvation,  and  hast  not  been  mindful  of  the  rock  of  thy 
'strength ;  therefore  thou  plantest   'pleasant    plants, 

1 1  and  settest  it  with  'strange  slips :  in  the  day  of  thy 
planting  thou  hedgest  it  in,  and  in  the  morning  thou 
makest  thy  seed  to  blossom :  but  the  harvest  '"fleeth 
away  in  the  day  of  grief  and  of  desperate  sorrow. 

1 2  Ah,  the  "uproar  of  many  peoples,  which  roar  like  the 
roaring  of  the  seas ;  and  the  rushing  of  nations,  that 

13  rush  like  the  rushing  of  mighty  waters  !  The  nations 
.shall  rush  like  the  rushing  of  many  waters:  but  he 
shall  rebuke  "them,  and  '^hey  shall  flee  far  off,  and 
shall  be  chased  as  the  chaff  of  the  mountains  before 
the  wind,  and  like  the    whirling    dust    before    the 

14 storm.  At  eventide  behold  terror;  and  before  the 
morning  "they  are  not.  This  is  the  portion  of  them 
that  spoil  us,  and  the  lot  of  them  that  rob  us.

CHAPTER    XVIII. 

God,  in  care  of  his  people,  wilt  destroy  the  Ethiopians, 

WOE  "to  the  land   shadowing   with  wings,  which  is  be- 
yond the  rivers  of  E-thi-o'pi-a :

of  bulrushes  upon  the  waters,  saying,  Go,  ye  swift  messen-

earth,  see  ye,  "when  he  lifteth  up  an  ensign  on  the  mount- 
ains ;  and  when  he  bloweth  a  trumpet,  hear  ye. 

4  For  so  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  I  will  take  my  rest,  and 
I  will  II  consider  in  my  dwellingplace  like  a  clear  heat  ||upon 
herbs,  and  like  a  cloud  of  dew  in  the  heat  of  harvest. 

5  For  afore  the  harvest,  when  the  bud  is  perfect,  and  the 
sour  grape  is  ripening  in  the  flower,  he  shall  both  cut  off 
the  sprigs  with  pruninghooks,  and  take  away  and  cut  down 
the  branches. 

6  They  shall  be  left  together  unto  the  fowls  of  the  mountains,

them,  and  all  the  beasts  of  the  eartii  shall  winter  upon  them.

CHAPTER    XIX. 

Confusion  of  Egypt  and  the  footishnes  of  their  princes . 

THE  "burden  of  E'gypt.  Behold,  the  Lord  'rideth  upon 
a  swift  cloud,  and  shall  come  into  E'gypt :  and  ""the  idols 
of  E'gypt  shall  be  moved  at  his  presence,  and  the  heart  of 
E'gypt  shall  melt  in  the  midst  of  it. 

2  And  I  will  fset  the  E-gyp'tians  against  the  E-gyp'tians : 
and  they  shall  fight  every  one  against  his  brother,  and  every 
one  against  his  neighbour;  city  against  city,  and.  kingdom 
against  kingdom. 

3  And  the  spirit  of  E'gypt  fshall  fail  in  the  midst  thereof: 
and  I  will  fdestroy  the  counsel  thereof:  and  they  shall  "seek 
to  the  idols,  and  to  the  charmers,  and  to  them  that  have 
familiar  spirits,  and  to  the  wizards. 

4  And  the  E-gyp'tians  will  I  ||give  over  ^nto  the  hand  of 
a  cruel  lord;  and  a  fierce  king. shall  rule  over  them,  saith 
the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

5  "And  the  waters  shall  fail  from  the  sea,  and  the  river 
shall  be  wasted  and  dried  up. 

6  And  they  shall  turn  the  rivers  far  away ;  and  the  brooks 
*of  defence  shall  be  emptied  and  dried  up :  the  reeds  and 
flags  shall  wither. 

7  The  paper  reeds  by  the  brooks,  by  the  mouth  of  the 
brooks,  and  every  thing  sown  by  the  brooks,  shall  wither, 
be  driven  away,  fand  be  no  more. 

8  The  fishers  also  shall  mourn,  and  all  they  that  cast 
angle  into  the  brooks  shall  lament,  and  they  that  spread 
nets  upon  the  waters  shall  languish. 

9  Moreover  they  that  work  in  'fine  flax,  and  they  that 
weave  ||  networks,  shall  be  confounded. 

10  And  they  shall  be  broken  in  the  fpurposes  thereof, 
all  that  make  sluices  and  ponds  ffor  fish. 

11  ^Surely  the  princes  oi  *Zo'an  are  fools,  the  counsel  of  the 
wise  counsellors  of  Pha'raoh  is  become  brutish  :  how  say  ye 
unto  Pha'raoh,Io7nthesonof  the  wi8e,the8on  of  aYicient  kings? 

12  Where  are  they?  where  are  thy  wise  menf  and  let 
them  tell  thee  now,  and  let  them  know  what  the  Lord  of 
hosts  hath  purposed  upon  E'gypt. 

13  The  princes  of  Zo'an  are  become  fools,  "the  princes  of 
Noph  are  deceived;  they  have  also  seduced  E'gypt,  enen 
||t<ftw  <Aa<  are  the  stay  of  the  tribes  thereof. 

14  The  Lord  hath  mingled  t"a  perverse  spirit  in   the 


•lO  Ah,  the  laud  'of  the  rustling  of  wings,  which  is 
2 beyond  the  rivers  of  ^E-thi-o'pi-a-;  that  sendeth  am 
bas.sadors  by  the  sea,  'even  in  vessels  of  papyrus 
upon  the  waters,  saying,  Go,  ye  swift  messengers,  to 
a  nation  *tall  and  smooth,  to  a  people  terrible  from 
their  beginning  onward ;  a  nation  Hhat  meteth  out 
and   treadeth   down,  whose  land  the  rivers  ^divide! 

3  All  ye  inhabitants  of  the  world,  and  ye  dwellers  on 
the  earth,  when  an  ensign  is  lifted  up  on  the  mount- 
ains, see  ye ;  and  when  the  trumpet  is  blown,  hear 

4  ye.  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  I  will 
be  still,  and  I  will  behold  in  my  dwelling  place ; 
"like  clear  heat  in  sunshine,  like  a  cloud  of  dew  in 

5  the  heat  of  harvest.  For  afore  the  harvest,  when 
the  blossom  is  over,  and  the  flower  becometh  a 
ripening  grape,  he  shall  cut  ofi"  the  sprigs  with 
pruninghooks,  and  the  spreading  branches  shall  he 

Stake  away  and  cut  down.  They  shall  be  left  together 
unto  the  ravenous  birds  of  the  mountains,  and  to 
the  beasts  of  the  earth;  and  the  ravenous  birds  shall 
summer  upon  them,  and  all  the  beasts  of  the  earth 

7  shall  winter  upon  them.  In  that  time  shall  a  present 
be  brought  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts  of  a  people  Hall 
and  smooth,  and  from  a  people  terrible  from  their 
beginning  onward :  a  nation  that  meteth  out  and 
treadeth  down,  whose  land  the  rivers  divide,  to  the 
place  of  the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  mount  Zi'on . 

19      The  ^burden  of  E'gypt. 

Behold,  the  Lord  rideth  upon  a  swift  cloud,  and 
Cometh  unto  E'gypt :  and  the  idols  of  E'gypt  shall 
be  moved  at  his  presence,  and  the  heart  of  E'gypt 

2  shall  melt  in  the  midst  of  it.  And  I  will  '"stir  up  the 
E-gyp'tians  against  the  E-gyp'tians :  and  they  shall 
fight  every  one  against  his  brother,  and  every  one 
against    his    neighbour;     city     against    city,    and 

3  kingdom  against  kingdom.  And  the  spirit  of  E'gypt 
shall  be  made  void  in  the  midst  of  it;  and  I  will 
"destroy  the  counsel  thereof:  and  they  shall  seek 
unto  the  idols,  and  to  the  '^charmers,  and  to  them 

4  that  have  familiar  spirits,  and  to  the  wizards.  And 
I  will  "give  over  the  E-gyp'tians  into  the  hand  of  a 
cruel  lord ;  and  a  fierce  king  shall  rule  over  them, 

5  saith  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And  the 
waters  shall  fail  from  the  sea,  and  the  river  shall  be 

6  wasted  and  become  dry.  And  the  rivers  shall 
stink ;  the  '^streams  of  "E'gypt  shall  be  minished  and 
dried  up:  the  reeds  and    flags  shall  wither  away. 

7  The  meadows  by  the  Nile,  by  the  brink  of  the  Nile, 
and  all  that  is  sown  by  the  Nile,  shall  become  dry, 

8  be  driven  away,  and  be  no  more.  The  fishers  also 
shall  lament,  and  all  they  that  cast  angle  into  the 
Nile  shall  mourn,  and  they  that  spread  net*  upon 

9  the  waters  shall  languish.  Moreover  they  that 
work  in  combed  flax,  and  they  that   weave  ''white 

10  cloth,  shall  be  ashamed.  And  her  "pillars  shall  be 
broken  in  pieces,  all  they  '"that  work  for  hire  shall 

11  6c  grieved  in  soul.  The  princes  of  Zo'an  are  utterly 
foolish  ;  the  counsel  of  the  wisest  counsellors  of 
Pha'raoh  is  become  brutish :  how  say  ye  unto 
Pha'raoh,  I  am  the  son  of  the  wise,  the  son  of  ancient 

12 kings?  Where  then  are  thy  wise  men;  and  let 
them  tell  thee  now;  and  let  them  know  what  the 
Lord  of  hosts  hath   purposed  concerning   E'gypt. 

13  The  princes  of  Zo'an  are  become  fools,  the  prmces 
of '"Noph  are  deceived;  they  have  caused  E'gypt  to

work  thereof,  as  a  drunken  man  staggereth  in  his  vomit. 

15  Neither  shall  there  be  any  work  for  E'gypt,  which  "the 
head  or  tail,  branch  or  rush,  may  do. 

16  In  that  day  shall  E'gypt  ^be  like  unto  women :  and  it 
shall  be  afraid  and  fear  because  of  the  shaking  of  the  hand 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  'which  he  shaketh  over  it. 

17  And  the  land  of  Ju'dah  shall  be  a  terror  unto  E'gypt, 
every  one  that  maketh  mention  thereof  shall  be  afraid  in  him- 
self, because  of  the  counsel  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  which  he 
hath  determined  against  it. 

18  ^In  that  day  shall  five  cities  in  the  land  of  E'gypt 
•■speak  fthe  language  of,  Ca'naan,  and  swear  to  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  one  shall  be  called,  The  city  ||  of 'destruction. 

19  In  that  day  'shall  there  be  an  altar  to  the  Lord  in  the 
midst  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  a  pillar  at  the  border 
thereof  to  the  Lord. 

20  And  'it  shall  be  for  a  sign  and  for  a  witness  unto  the 
Lord  of  hosts  in  the  land  of  E'gypt:  for  they  shall  cry  unto 
the  Lord  because  of  the  oppressors,  and  he  shall  send  them 
a  saviour,  and  a  great  one,  and  he  shall  deliver  them. 

21  And  the  Lord  shall  be  known  to  E'gypt,  and  the 
E-gyp'tians  shall  know  the  Lord  in  that  day,  and  "shall  do 
sacrifice  and  oblation ;  yea,  they  shall  vow  a  vow  unto  the 
Lord,  and  perform  it. 

22  And  the  Lord  shall  smite  E'gypt:  he  shall  smite  and 
heal  it:  and  they  shall  return  even  to  the  Lord,  and  he  shall 
be  entreated  of  them,  and  shall  heal  them. 

23  ^In  that  day  "'shall  there  be  a  highway  out  of  E'gypt 
to  As-syr'i-a,  and  the  As-syr'i-an  shall  come  into  E'gypt, 
and  the  E-gyp'tian  into  As-syr'i  -a,  and  the  E-gyp'tians  shall 
serve  with  the  As-syr'i-ans. 

24  In  that  day  shall  Is'ra-el  be  the  third  with  E'gypt 
and  with  As-syr'i-a,  even  a  blessing  in  the  midst  of  the  land : 

25  Whom  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  bless,  saying.  Blessed  be 
E'gypt  my  people,  and  As-syr'i-a,  "the  work  of  my  hands, 
and  Is'ra-el  mine  inheritance. 

CHAPTER   XX. 

A  type  prefiguring  the  shameful  captivity  o/  Egypt  and  Ethiopia. 

IN  the  year  that  "Tar'tan  came  unto  Ash'dod,  (when  Sar'- 
gon  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  sent  him,)  and  fought  against 
Ash'dod,  and  took  it ; 

2  At  the  same  time  spake  the  Lord  fby  I-sa'iah  the  son 
of  A'moz,  saying,  Go,  and  loose  the  'sackcloth  from  oflf"  thy 
loins,  and  put  off  thy  shoe  from  thy  foot.  And  he  did  so, 
"walking  naked  and  barefoot. 

3  And  the  Lord  said.  Like  as  my  servant  I-sa'iah  hath 
walked  naked  and  barefoot  three  years  ^for  a  sign  and  wonder 
upon  E'gypt  and  upon  E-thi-o'pi-a ; 

4  So  shall  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  lead  away  fthe  E-gyp'- 
tians prisoners,  and  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans  captives,  young  and 
old,  naked  and  barefoot,  'even  with  their  buttocks  uncovered, 
to  the  fshame  of  E'gypt. 

5  ■''And  they  shall  be  afraid  and  ashamed  of  E-thi-o'pi-a 
their  expectation,  and  of  E'gypt  their  glory. 

6  And  the  inhabitant  of  this  ||  isle  shall  say,  in  that  day,  Be- 
hold, such  is  our  expectation,  whither  we  flee  for  help  to  be  de- 
livered from  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a :  and  how  shall  we  escape  ? 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

The  prophet  bewaileth  the  captivity  of  God's  people. 

rpHE  burden  of  the  desert  of  the  sea.  As  "whirlwinds 
-I-  in  the  south  pass  through  ;  so  it  cometh  from  the  desert, 
from  a  terrible  land.- 

2  A  f  grievous  vision  is  declared  unto  me ;  'The  treacher- 
ous dealer  dealeth  treacherously,  and  the  spoiler  spoileth. 
"Go  up,  O  E'lam :  besiege,  O  Me'di-a ;  all  the  sighing  thereof 
have  I  made  to  cease. 

3  Therefore  ''are  my  loins  filled  with  pain :  "pangs  have 
I  taken  hold  upon  me,  as  the  pangs  of  a  woman  that  travaileth : 


midst  of  her :  and  they  have  caused  E'gypt  to  go  astray 
in  every  work  thereof,  as  a  drunken  man  'staggereth 

15  in  his  vomit.  Neither  shall  there  be  for  E'gypt  any 
work,  which  head  or  tail,palm-branch  or  rush, may  do. 

16  In  that  day  shall  E'gypt  be  like  unto  women :  and 
it  shall  tremble  and  fear  because  of  the  shaking  of 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  which  he  shaketh 

17  over  it.  And  the  land  of  Ju'dah  shall  become  a 
terror  unto  E'gypt,  ^every  one  to  whom  mention  is 
made  thereof  shall  be  afraid,  because  of  the  purpose 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  which  he  purposeth  against  it. 

18  In  that  day  there  shall  be  five  cities  in  the  land 
of  E'gypt  that  speak  the  language  of  Ca'naan,  and 
swear  to  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  one  shall  be  called  The 
city  of  destruction. 

19  In  that  day  shall  there  be  an  altar  to  the  Lord  in 
the  midst  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  a  pillar  at  the 

20  border  thereof  to  the  Lord.  And  it  shall  be  for  a 
sign  and  for  a  witness  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt:  for  they  shall  cry  unto  the  Lord 
because  of  the  oppressors,  and  he  shall  send  them  a 
saviour,  and  *a  defender,  and  he  shall  deliver  them. 

21  And  the  Lord  shall  ^be  known  to  E'gypt,  and  the 
E-gyp'tians  shall  know  the  Lord  in  that  day;  yea, 
they  shall  worship  with  sacrifice  and  oblation,  and 
shall  vow  a  vow  unto  the  Lord,  and  shall  perform 

22  it.  And  the  Lord  shall  smite  E'gypt,  smiting  and 
healing;  and  they  shall  return  unto  the  Lord,  and 
he  shall  be  intreated  of  them,  and  shall  heal  them. 

23  In  that  day  shall  there  be  a  high  way  out  of 
E'gypt  to  As-syr'i-a,  and  the  As-syr'i-an  shall  come 
into  E'gypt,  and  the  E-gyp'tian  into  As-syr'i-a ;  and 
the  E-gyp'tians  shall  worship  with  the  As-syr'i-ans. 

24  In  that  day  shall  Is'ra-el  be  the  third  with  E'gypt 
and  with  As-syr'i-a,  a  blessing  in  the  midst  of  the 

25  earth  :  for  that  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  blessed  them, 
saying.  Blessed  be  E'gypt  my  people,  and  As-syr'i-a 
the  work  of  my  hands,  and  Israel  mine  inheritance. 

^v  In  the  year  that  ^Tar'tan  came  unto  Ash'dod, 
when  Sar'gon  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  sent  him,  and  he 

2  fought  against  Ash'dod  and  took  it;  at  that  time  the 
Lord  spake  by  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz,  saying.  Go, 
and  loose  the  sackcloth  from  off  thy  loins,  and  put 
thy  shoe  from  off  thy  foot.     And  he  did  so,  walking 

Snaked  and  barefoot.  And  the  Lord  said.  Like  as 
my  servant  I-sa  iah  hath  walked  naked  and  barefoot 
^three  years  for  a  sign  and  a  wonder  upon  E'gypt 

4iand  upon  'E-thi-o'pi-a ;  so  shall  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a 
lead  away  the  captives  of  E'gypt,  and  the  exiles  of 
E-thi-o'pi-a,  young  and  old,  naked  and  barefoot,  and 
with  buttocks  uncovered,  to  the  shame  of  E'gypt. 

5  And  they  shall  be  dismayed  and  ashamed,  because 
of  E-thi-o'pi-a  their  expectation,  and  of  E'gypt  their 

6  glory.  And  the  inhabitant  of  this  coastland  shall 
say  in  that  day,  Behold,  such  is  our  expectation, 
whither  we  fled  for  help  to  be  delivered  from  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a:  and  we,  how  shall  we  escape? 

"^i     The  'burden  of  the  wilderness  of  the  sea. 

As  whirlwinds  in  the  South  sweep  tlirough,  it  com- 

2  eth  from  the  wilderness,from  a  terrible  land.  A '"griev- 
ous vision  is  declared  unto  me ;  the  treacherous  dealer 
dealeth  treacherously,  and  the  spoiler  spoileth.  Go 
up,  O  E'lam;    besiege,  O  Me'di-a:  all  the  sighing 

3  thereof  "have  I  made  to  cease.  Therefore  are  my

I  was  bowed  down  at  the  hearing  of  it;  I  was  dismayed  at 
the  seeing  of  it, 

4  II  My  heart  panted,  fearfulness  afirighted  me: -the  night 
of  my  pleasure  hath  he  ftumed  into  fear  unto  me. 

5  "Prepare  the  table,  watch  in  the  watchtower,  eat,  drink : 
arise  ye  princes,  and  anoint  the  shield. 

6  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Go,  set  a  watch- 
man, let  him  declare  what  he  seeth. 

7  *And  he  saw  a  chariot  with  a  couple  of  horsemen,  a 
chariot  of  asses,  and  a  chariot  of  camels ;  and  he  hearkened 
diligently  with  much  heed : 

8  And  II he  cried,  A  lion:  My  lord,  I  stand  continually 
upon  the  'watchtower  in  the  day  time,  and  I  am  set  in  my 
ward  II whole  nights: 

9  And,  behold,  here  cometh  a  chariot  of  men,  with  a  couple 
of  horsemen.  And  he  answered  and  said,  *Bab'y-lon  is 
fallen,  is  fallen ;  and  'all  the  graven  images  of  her  gods  he 
hath  broken  unto  the  ground. 

10  "O  my  threshing,  and  the  fcorn  of  my  floor:  that 
which  I  have  heard  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  have  I  declared  unto  you. 

11^  "The  burden  of  Du'mah .  He  calleth  to  me  out  of  Se'ir, 
Watchman,  what  of  the  night  ?  AVatchman,  what  of  the  night? 

12  The  watchman  said.  The  morning  cometh,  and  also  the 
night:  if  ye  will  inquire,  inquire  ye:  return,  come. 

13  %  "The  burden  upon  A-ra'bi-a.  In  the  forest  in  A-ra'bi-a 
shall  ye  lodge,  O  ye  travelling  companies  ''of  Ded'a-nim. 

14  The  inhabitants  ofthe  land  ofTe'ma  ||broughtwater  to  him 
that  was  thirsty,  they  prevented  with  their  bread  him  that  fled. 

15  For  they  fled  ||  ffrom  the  swords,  from  the  drawn  sword, 
and  from  the  bent  bow,  and  from  the  grievousness  of  war. 

16  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Within  a  year, 
'according  to  the  years  of  a  hireling,  and  all  the  glory  of 
'Ke'dar  shall  iail : 

17  And  the  residue  ofthe  number  of  farchers,  the  mighty 
men  ofthe  children  of  Ke'dar,  shall  be  diminished:  for  the 
LoBD  God  of  Is'ra-el  hath  spoken  it. 

CHAPTER   XXII. 

The  prophet  reproveth  human  wisdom  and  worldly  joy. 

THE  burden  of  the  valley  of  vision.     What  aileth  thee 
now,  that  thou  art  wholly  gone  up  to  the  housetops  ? 

2  Thou  that  art  full  of  stirs,  a  tumultuous  city,  "a  joyous  city  : 
thy  slain  men  are  not  slain  with  the  sword,  nor  dead  in  battle. 

3  All  thy  rulers  are  fled  together,  they  are  bound  fby  the 
archers:  all  that  are  found  in  thee  are  bound  together, 
which  have  fled  from  far. 

4  Therefore  said  I,  Look  away  from  me ;  'fl  will  weep 
bitterly,  labour  not  to  comfort  me,  because  of  the  spoiling 
of  the  daughter  of  my  people. 

5  "For  it  is  a  day  of  trouble,  and  of  treading  down,  and  of 
perplexity  ""by  the  Lord  GrOD  of  hosts  in  the  valley  of  vision, 
breaking  down  the  walls,  and  of  crying  to  the  mountains. 

6  "And  E'lam  bare  the  quiver  with  chariots  of  men  and 
horsemen,  and-'^Kir  funcovered  the  shield. 

7  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  fthy  choicest  valleys  shall 
be  fiill  of  chariots,  and  the  horsemen  shall  set  themselves  in 
array  ||at  the  gate. 

8  "([And  he  discovered  the  covering  of  Ju'dah,  and  thou 
didst  look  in  that  day  to  the  armour  "ofthe  house  ofthe  forest. 

9  'Ye  have  seen  also  the  breaches  of  the  city  of  David,  that 
they  are  many :  and  ye  gathered  together  the  waters  of  the 
lower  pool. 

10  And  ye  have  numbered  the  houses  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
the  houses  have  ye  broken  down  to  fortify  the  wall. 

11  'Ye  made  also  a  ditch  between  the  two  walls  for  the 
water  of  the  old  pool ;  but  ye  have  not  looked  unto  *the 
maker  thereof,  neither  had  respect  unto  him  that  fashioned 
it  long  ago. 

12  And  in  that  day  did  the  Lord  God  ofhosta 'call  to  weeping. 


I  am  ^pained  so  that  I  cannot  hear;  I  am  d.'smayed 

4  so  that  I  cannot  see.  My  heart  ^anteth,  horror  hath 
afirighted  me :  the  twilight  that  I  desired  hath  been 

5  turned  into  trembling  unto  me.  They  prepare  the 
table,  they  'set  the  watch,  they  eat,  they  drink :  rise  up, 

6  ye  princes,  anoint  the  shield.  For  thus  hath  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  Go,  set  a  watchman ;  let  him  declare 

7  what  he  seeth :  *and  when  he  seeth  ''a  troop,  ^horse- 
men  in  pairs,  'a  troop  of  asses,  ^a  troop  of  camels,  he 

8  shall  hearken  diligently  with  much  heed.  And  he 
cried  as  a  lion :  O  Lord,  I  stand  continually  upon 
the  watch-tower  in  the  day-time,  and  am  set  in  my 

9  ward  Vhok  nights :  and,  behold,  here  *cometh  a 
troop  of  men,  'horsemen  in  pairs.  And  he  an- 
swered and  said,  Bab'y-lon  is  fallen,  is  fallen  ;  and 
all  the  graven  images  of  her  gods  are  broken  unto 

10  the  ground.  O  thou  my  threshing,  and  the  ^corn  of 
my  floor :  that  which  I  have  heard  from  the  LoBD  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  have  I  declared  unto  you. 

1 1  The  '"burden  of  Du'mah. 

One  calleth  unto  me  out  of  Se'ir,  Watchman,  "what 

1 2  of  the  night  ?  Watchman,  "what  ofthe  night  ?  The 
watchman  said,  The  morning  'Cometh,  and  also  the 
night :  if  ye  will  inquire,  inquire  ye  :  'Hum  ye,  come. 

13  The  '■'burden  upon  A-ra'bi-a. 

In  the  "forest  '*in  A-ra'bi-a  shall  ye  lodge,  O  ye  trav- 
elling companies  of  Ded'a-nites.     Unto  him  that  '^was 

14 thirsty  they  brought  water;  '*the  inhabitants  of  the 
land  of  Te'ma  did  meet  the  fugitives  with  their  bread. 

15  For  they  fled  away  from  the  swords,  from  the  drawn 
sword,  and  from  the  bent  bow,  and  from  the  griev- 

IGousness  of  war.  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  said  unto 
me.  Within  a  year,  according  to  the  years  of  an  hire- 

17  ling,  and  all  the  glory  of  Ke'dar  shall  fail:  and  the 
residue  of  the  number  of  the  archers,  the  mighty 
men  of  the  children  of  Ke'dar,  shall  be  few  :  for  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  hath  spoken  it. 

^^■4     The  '"burden  ofthe  valley  of  vision. 

What  aileth  thee  now,  that  thou  art  wholly  gone 

2 up   to    the    housetops?     O   thou    that   art    full    of 

shoutings,  a  tumultuous   city,    a  joyous  town;  thy 

slain  are.  not  slain  with  the  sword,  neither  are  they 

3  dead  in  battle.  All  thy  rulers  fled  away  together, 
they  were  bound  "by  the  archers:  all  that  were 
found  of  thee  were  bound  together,  ™they  fled  afar  ofi; 

4  Therefore  said  I,  Look  away  from  me,  I  will  weep 
bitterly ;  "  labour  not  to  comfort  me,  for  the  spoiling 

5  of  the  daughter  of  my  people.  For  it  is  a  day  of 
discomfiture,  and  of  treading  down,  and  of  per- 
plexity, from  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts,  in  the 
valley  of  vision;  a  breaking  down  ofthe  walls,  and 

6  a  crying  to  the  ^^mountains.  And  E'lam  bare  the 
quiver,  with  ^'chariota,  of  men  and  horsemen ;  and 

7  Kir  uncovered  the  shield.  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  thy  choicest  valleys  were  ftiU  of  chariots,  and 
the  horsemen  set  themselves  in  array  at  the  gate. 

8  And  he  took  away  the  covering  of  Ju'dah ;  and  thou 
didst  look  in  that  day  to  the  armour  in  the  house  of 

9  the  forest.  And  ye  saw  the  breaches  of  the  city  c^ 
Da'vid,    that   they   were   many:    and   ye    gathere 

10 together  the  waters  of  the  lower  pool.  And  j  j 
numbered  the  houses  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  ye  brake 

11  down  the  houses  to  fortify  the  wall.     Ye  made  also 
.  a  reservoir  between  the  two  walls  for  the  water  of 

the  old    pool:  but  ye   looked  not  unto  ^him  that 
had  done  this,   neither   had   ye   respect   unto   him 

12  that  fashioned  it  long  ago.  And  in  that  day 
did  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts,  call  to  weeping.

sackcloth : 

13  And  behold  joy  and  gladness,  slaying  oxen,  and  killing 
sheep,  eating  flesh,  and  drinking  wine:  "let  us  eat  and 
drink ;  for  to-morrow  we  shall  die. 

14  "And  it  was  revealed  in  mine  ears  by  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  Surely  this  iniquity  "shall  not  be  purged  from  you 
till  ye  die,  saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts. 

15  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts,  Go,  get  thee  unto  this 
treasurer,  even  unto  'Sheb'na,' which  ts  over  the  house,  and  ttay, 

16  What  hast  thou  here,  and  whom  hast  thou  here,  that 
thou  ha-st  hewed  thee  out  a  sepulchre  here,  ||  as  he  'that 
heweth  him  out  a  sepulchre  on  high,  and  that  graveth  a 
habitation  for  himself  in  a  rock  ? 

17  Behold,  ||  the  Lord  will  carry  thee  away  with  fa 
mighty  caj)tivity,  'and  will  surely  cover  thee. 

18  He  will  surely  violently  turn  and  toss  thee  lilce  a  ball 
into  a  tlarge  country:  there  shalt  thou  die,  and  there  the 
chariots  of  thy  glory  shall  be  the  shame  of  thy  lord's  house. 

19  And  I  will  drive  thee  from  thy  station,  and  from  thy 
state  shall  he  pull  thee  down. 

20  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  I  will 
call  my  servant  "E-li'a-kim,  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah : 

21  And  I  will  clothe  him  with  thy  robe,  and  strengthen 
him  with  thy  girdle,  and  I  will  commit  thy  government 
into  his  hand:  and  he  shall  be  a  father  to  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah. 

22  And  the  key  of  the  house  of  Da'vid  will  I  lay  upon 
his  shoulder:  so  he  shall  'open,  and  none  shall  shut;  and 
he  shall  .shut,  and  none  shall  open. 

23  And  I  will  fasten  him  as  "a  nail  in  a  sure  place;  and 
he  shall  be  for  a  glorious  throne  to  his  father's  hou.se. 

24  And  they  shall  hang  ujwn  him  all  the  glory  of  his  father's 
hou.se,  the  olFspriug  and  the  issue,  all  vessels  of  small  quantity, 
from  the  vessels  of  cups,  even  to  all  the  ||  ves.sels  of  flagons. 

25  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  ho.sts,  shall  the  nail  that 
is  fastened  in  the  sure  place  be  removed,  and  be  cut  down, 
and  fall ;  and  the  burden  that  was  upon  it  shall  be  cut  ofl": 
for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

CHAPTER    XXIII. 

The  miserable  sverthroiv  of  Tyre  and  her  restoration  after  seventy  years. 

THE  "burden  of  Tyre.     Howl,  ye  ships  of  Tar'shish ;  for 
it  is  laid  wa.ste,  so  that  thefe  is  no  house,  no  entering 
in :  'from  the  land  of  Chit'tim  it  is  revealed  to  them. 

2  Be  fstill  ye  inhabitants  of  the  isle;  thou  whom  the  mer- 
chants of  Zi'don,  that  pass  over  the  .sea,  have  replenished. 

3  And  by  great  waters  the  seed  of  Si'hor,  the  harvest 
of  the  river,  is  her  revenue ;  and  "she  is  a  mart  of  nation.s. 

4  Be  thou  ashamed,  O  Zi'don :  for  the  sea  hath  spoken, 
even  the  strength  of  the  sea,  .saying,  I  travail  not,  nor  bring 
forth  children,  neither  do  I  nourish  up  young  men,  nor 
bring  up  virgins. 

5  ^As  at  the  report  concerning  E'gypt,  so  shall  they  be 
sorely  pained  at  the  report  of  Tyre. 

6  Pass  ye  over  to  Tar'shish  ;  howl,  ye  inhabitants  ofthe  isle. 

7  7s  this  your  'joyous  city,  whose  antiquity  is  of  ancient 
days  ?  her  own  feet  shall  carry  her  fafar  off"  to  sojourn. 

8  Who  hath  taken  this  counsel  against  Tyre,  -the  crown- 
ing city,  whose  merchants  are  princes,  whose  traffickers  are 
the  honourable  of  the  earth  ? 

9  The  Lord  of  hosts  hath  purposed  it,  fto  stain  the  pride 
of  all  glory,  and  to  bring  into  contempt  all  the  honourable 
of  the  earth. 

10  Pass  through  thy  land  as  a  river,  O  daughter  of  Tar'- 
shish :  there  is  no  more  fstrength. 

11  He  stretched  out  his  hand  over  the  sea,  he  shook  the 
kingdoms:  the  Lord  hath  given  a  commandment  || against 
fthe  merchant  city,  to  destroy  the  ||  strong  holds  thereof. 

12  And  he  said,  "Thou   shalt  no   more   rejoice,  O  thou 


and  to  mourning,  and  to  baldness,  and  to  girding  with 

13 sackcloth:   and    behold,  joy   and   gladness,  slaying 

oxen   and    killing  sheep,  eating  flesh  and  drinking 

wine :  let  us  eat  and  drink,  for  to-morrow  we  shall  die. 

14  And  the  Lord  of  hosts  revealed  himself  in  mine 
ears.  Surely  this  iniquity  shall  not  be  'purged  from 
you  till  ye  die,  saith  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Go,  get 
thee  unto  this  treasurer,  even  unto  Sheb'na,  which 

16 is  over  the  house,  and  say,  What  doest  thou  here? 
and  whom  hast  thou  here,  that  thou  hast  hewed 
thee  out  here  a  sepulchre?  hewing  him  out  a 
sepulchre  on  high,  graving  an  habitation  for  himself 

17  in  the  rock !  Behold,  the  Lord  will  hurl  thee  away 
violently  'as  a  strong  man;   yea,  he  will  ^wrap  thee 

18  up  closely.  He  will  surely  'turn  and  toss  thee  like 
a  ball  into  a  large  country ;  there  shalt  thou  die,  and 
there  shall  be  the  chariots  of  thy  glory,  thou  shame 

19  of  thy  lohl's  house.  And  I  will  thrust  thee  from 
thine  office,  and  from  thy  station  shall  he  pull  thee 

20  down.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that 
I  will  call  my  .servant  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah : 

21  and  I  will  clothe  him  with  thy  robe,  and  strengthen 
him  with  thy  girdle,  and  I  will  commit  thy  gov- 
ernment into  his  hand:  and  he  shall  be  a  father 
to  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'.sa-lem,  and  to  the  house 

22  of  Ju'dah.  And  the  key  of  the  house  of  Da'vid  will 
I  lay  upon  his  shoulder;  and  he  shall  open,  and  none 
shall  shut;  and  he  shall  shut,  and  none  shall  open. 

23  And  I  will  fa.sten  him  as  a  nail  in  a  sure  place ;  and 
he  shall   be   for   a   throne  of  glory  to   his   father's 

24  house.  And  they  shall  hang  upon  him  all  the 
glory  of  his  father's  house,  the  offspring  and  the 
issue,  every  small  vessel,  from  the  vessels  of  cups 

25  even  to  all  the  vessels  of  flagons.  In  that  day, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  shall  the  nail  that  was 
fastened  in  a  sure  place  give  way;  and  it  shall  be 
hewn  down,  and  fall,  and  the  burden  that  was  upon 
it  shall  be  cut  off ;  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

2o     The  "burden  of  Tyre. 

Howl,  ye  ships  of  Tar'shish;  for  it  is  laid  waste, 
so    that   there   is    no    hou.se,  no    entering  in :    from 

2  the  land  of  Kit'tim  it  is  revealed  to  them.  Be  still, 
ye  inhabitants  of  the  "isle ;  thou  whom  the  mer- 
chants  of    Zi'don,  that    pass    over    the   sea,    have 

3  replenished.  And  on  great  waters  the  seed  of 
Shi'hor,  the   harvest  of  the  Xile,  was  her  revenue; 

4  and  .she  was  the  mart  of  nations.  Be  thou  ashamed, 
O  Zi'don :  for  the  sea  hath  spoken,  the  strong  hold 
of  the  sea,  saying,  I  have  not  travailed,  nor  brought 
forth,  neither   have    I    nourished   young  men,    nor 

5  brought  up  virgins.  *When  the  report  cometh  to 
E'gypt,  they  shall  be  sorely  jiained  at  the  report  of 

6  Tyre.     Pass  ye  over  to  Tar^shish ;   howl,  ye  inhabit- 

7  ants  of  the  'isle.  Is  this  your  joyous  city,  whose 
antiquity  is  'of  ancient  days,  whose  feet  carried  her 

8 afar  off"  to  sojourn?  Who  hath  purpo.sed  this 
against  Tyre,  '"the  crowning  city,  whose  merchants 
are  princes,  whose  traffickers  are  the  honourable  of 

9  the  earth  ?     The  I..ORD  of  hosts  hath  purposed  it,  to 

"stain  the  pride  of  all  glory,  to  bring  into  contempt 

lOall  the  honourable  ofthe  earth.     '^Pass  through  thy 

land  as  the  Nile,  O  daughter  of  Tar'shish ;   there  is 

11  no  girdle  abovi  thee  any  more.  He  hath  stretched 
out  his  hand  over  the  sea,  he  hath  shaken  the  king- 
doms: the  Lord  hath  given  commandment  con- 
cerning '^Ca'naan,  to  destroy  the  strong  holds  thereof.

Unit'tim;  there  also  shalt  thou  have  no  rest. 

13  Behold  the  land  of  the  Chai-de'ans;  this  people  was 
not,  till  the  As-syr'i-an  founded  it  for  "them  that  dwell  in  the 
wilderness :  they  set  up  the  towers  thereof,  they  raised  up 
the  palaces  thereof;  and  he  brought  it  to  ruin. 

14  *Howl,  ye  ships  of  Tar'shish:  for  your  strength  is  laid 
waste. 

15  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  Tyre  shall  be 
forgotten  seventy  years,  according  to  the  days  of  one  king : 
after  the  end  of  seventy  years  fshall  Tyre  sing  as  a  harlot. 

16  Take  a  harp,  go  about  the  city,  thou  harlot  that  hast 
been  forgotten;  make  sweet  melody,  sing  many  songs,  that 
thou  mayest  be  remembered. 

17  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass  after  the  end  of  seventy 
years,  that  the  Lord  will  visit  Tyre,  and  she  shall  turn  to 
her  hire,  and  'shall  commit  fornication  with  all  the  kingdoms 
of  the  world  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

18  And  her  merchandise  and  her  hire  "shall  be  holiness 
to  the  LosD :  it  shall  not  be  treasured  nor  laid  up ;  for  her 
merchandise  shall  be  for  them  that  dwell  before  the  Lord, 
to  eat  sufficiently,  and  for  fdurable  clothing, 

CHAPTER   XXIV. 

God  in  his  judgments  shall  advance  his  kingdom. 

BEHOLD,  the  Lord  maketh  the  earth  empty,  and  maketh 
it  waste,  and  fturneth  it  upside  down,  and   scattereth 
abroad  the  inhabitants  thereof. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  as  with  the  people,  so  with  the  ||  "priest; 
as  with  the  servant,  so  with  his  master;  as  with  the  maid, 
so  with  her  mistress ;  'as  with  the  buyer,  so  with  the  seller ; 
as  with  the  lender,  so  with  the  borrower :  as  with  the  taker 
of  usury,  so  with  the  giver  of  usury  to  him. 

3  The  land  shall  be  utterly  emptied,  and  utterly  spoiled : 
for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  this  word. 

4  The  earth  mourneth  and  fadeth  away,  the  world  lan- 
guisheth  and  fadeth  away,  ftbe  haughty  people  of  the  earth 
do  languish. 

5  "The  earth  also  is  defiled  under  the  inhabitants  thereof; 
because  they  have  transgressed  the  laws,  changed  the  ordi- 
nance, broken  the  everlasting  covenant. 

6  Therefore  hath  ''the  cursed  devoured  the  earth,  and  they 
that  dwell  therein  are  desolate :  therefore  the  inhabitants 
of  the  earth  are  burned,  and  few  men  left;. 

7  "The  new  wine  mourneth,  the  vine  languisheth,  all  the 
merryhearted  do  sigh. 

8  The  mirth  ^of  tabrets  ceaseth,  the  noise  of  them  that 
rejoice  endeth,  the  joy  of  the  harp  ceaseth. 

9  They  shall  not  drink  wine  with  a  song;  strong  drink 
shall  be  bitter  to  them  that  drink  it. 

10  The  city  of  confusion  is  broken  down :  every  house  is 
shut  up,  that  no  man  may  come  in. 

11  There  is  a  crying  for  wine  in  the  streets;  all  joy  is 
darkened,  the  mirth  of  the  land  is  gone. 

12  In  the  city  is  left  desolation,  and  the  gate  is  smitten 
with  destruction. 

13  ^When  thus  it  shall  be  in  the  midst  of  the  land 
among  the  people,  'there  shall  be  as  the  shaking  of  an  olive 
tree,  and  as  the  gleaning  grapes  when  the  vintage  is  done. 

14  They  shall  lift  up  their  voice,  they  shall  sing  for  the 
majesty  of  the  Lord,  they  shall  cry  aloud  from  the  sea. 

15  Wherefore  glorify  ye  the  Lord  in  the  ||  fires,  even  Hhe 
name  of  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  in  the  isles  of  the  sea. 

16  ^From  the  futtermost  part  of  the  earth  have  we 
heard  songs,  even  glory  to  the  righteous.  But  I  said,  fMy 
leanness,  my  leanness,  woe  unto  me !  "the  treacherous  dealers 
have  dealt  treacherously;  yea,  the  treacherous  dealers  have 
dealt  very  treacherously. 

17  *Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the  snare,  are  upon  thee,  O 
inhabitant  of  the  earth. 


oppressed   virgin   daughter   of  Zi'don:    arise, 
over  to  Kit'tim ;  even  there  shalt  thou  have  no  rest. 

13  Behold,  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans;  this  people  'is 
no  more;  the  As-syr'i-an  ^hath  appointed  it  for  'the 
beasts  of  the  wilderness :  they  set  up  *their  towers, 
they  'overthrew  the  palaces  thereof;    he  made  it  a 

14  ruin.     Howl,  ye  ships  of  Tar'shish :  for  your  strong 

15  hold  is  laid  waste.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  Tyre  shall  be  forgotten  seventy  years, 
according  to  the  days  of  one  king:  after  the  end 
of  seventy  years  *it  shall  be  unto   Tyre  as  in  the 

16  song  of  the  harlot.  Take  an  harp,  go  about  the 
city,  thou  harlot  that  hast  been  forgotten;  make 
sweet  melody,  sing  many  songs,  that  thou  mayest 

17  be  remembered.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  after 
the  end  of  seventy  years,  that  the  Lord  will  visit 
Tyre,  and  she  shall  return  to  her  hire,  and  shall  play 
the  harlot  with  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  world  upon 

18  the  face  of  the  earth.  And  her  merchandise  and 
her  hire  shall  be  holiness  to  the  Lord:  it  shall  not 
be  treasured  nor  laid  up ;  for  her  merchandise  shall 
be  for  them  that  dwell  before  the  Lord,  to  eat 
sufficiently,  and  for  'durable  clothing. 

^^  Behold,  the  Lord  maketh  the  'earth  empty,  and 
maketh    it   waste,  and  turneth  it  upside  down,  and 

2  scattereth  abroad  the  inhabitants  thereof.  And  it 
shall  be,  as  with  the  people,  so  with  the  priest ;  as 
with  the  servant,  so  with  his  master ;  as  with  the 
maid,  so  with  her  mistress;  as  with  the  buyer,  so 
with  the  seller;  as  with  the  lender,  so  with  the 
borrower ;  as  with  the  taker  of  usury,  so  with  the 

3  giver  of  usury  to  him.  The  earth  shall  be  utterly 
emptied,  and  utterly  spoiled;   for  the   Lord  hath 

4  spoken  this  word.  The  earth  mourneth  and  fadeth 
away,  the  world  languisheth  and  fadeth  away,  'the 

5  lofty  people  of  the  earth  do  languish.  The  earth 
also  IS  polluted  under  the  inhabitants  thereof; 
because  tney  have  transgressed  the  laws,  changed 
the    ordinance,  broken    the    everlasting    covenant. 

6  Therefore  hath  the  curse  devoured  the  earth,  and 
they  that  dwell  therein  are  found  guilty:  therefore 
the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  are  burned,  and  few  men 

7  left.     The  new  wine  mourneth,  the  vine  languisheth, 

8  all  the  merryhearted  do  sigh.  The  mirth  of  tabrets 
ceaseth,  the  noise  of  them  that  rejoice  endeth,  the 

9 joy  of  the  harp  ceaseth.  They  shall  not  drink  wine 
with  a  song ;    strong  drink  shall  be  bitter  to  them 

10  that  drink  it.  The  city  of  '"confusion  is  broken 
down :    every  house  is  shut   up,  that  no  man  may 

11  come  in.  There  is  a  crying  in  the  streets  because 
of  the  wine ;  all  joy  is  darkened,  the  mirth  of  the 

12  land  is  "gone.     In  the  city  is  left  desolation,  and  the 

13  gate  is  smitten  with  destruction.  For  thus  shall  it 
be  in  the  midst  of  the  earth  among  the  peoples,  as 
the  '^shaking  of  an  olive  tree,  as  the  grape  gleanings 

14  when  the  vintage  is  done.  These  shall  lift  up  their 
voice,  they  shall  shout ;  for  the  majesty  of  the  Lord 

15  they  cry  aloud  from  the  sea.  Wherefore  glorify  ye 
the  Lord  in  the  "east,  even  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  in  the  ''isles  of  the  sea. 

16  From  the  uttermost  part  of  the  earth  have  we  heard 
songs,  glory  to  the  righteous.  But  I  said,  "I  pine  away, 
I  pine  away,  woe  is  me!  the  treacherous  dealers  have 
dealt  treacherously ;  yea,  the  treacherous  dealers  have 

17  dealt  very  treacherously.  Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the 
snare,   are  upon  thee,  O  inhabitant  of  the  earth.

CHAF-TER    XXV. 

The  prophet  firatseth  God  for  his  judgments  and  salvation. 

OLORD,  thou  art  my  God;    "I  will  exalt  thee,  I  will 
praise  thy  name ;  'for  thou  hast  done  wonderful  things : 
Hhy  counsels  of  old  are  faithfulness  and  truth. 

2  For  thou  hast  made  ''of  a  city  a  heap ;  of  a  defenced  city  a 
ruin;  a  palace  of  strangers  to  be  no  city;  it  shall  never  be  built. 

3  Therefore  shall  the  strong  people  'glorify  thee,  the  city 
of  the  terrible  nations  shall  fear  thee. 

4  For  thou  hast  been  a  strength  to  the  poor,  a  strength 
to  the  needy  in  his  distress,  ■'a  refuge  from  the  storm,  a 
shadow  from  the  heat,  when  the  blast  of  the  terrible  ones 
is  as  2i  storm  against  the  wall. 

5  Thou  shalt  bring  down  the  noise  of  strangers,  as  the 
heat  in  a  dry  place ;  even  the  heat  with  the  shadow  of  a 
cloud :  the  branch  of  the  terrible  ones  shall  be  brought  low. 

6  ^  And  in  "this  mountain  shall  *the  Lord  of  hosts  make  unto 
'all  people  a  feast  of  fat  things,  a  feast  of  wines  on  the  lees,  of 
fat  things  full  of  marrow,  of  wines  on  the  lees  well  refined. 

7  And  he  will  fdestroy  in  this  mountain  the  face  of  the 
covering  feast  over  all  people,  and  Hhe  veil  that  is  spread 
over  all  nations. 

8  He  will  'swallow  up  death  in  victory ;  and  the  Lord 
God  will  ""wipe  away  tears  from  off  all  faces;  and  the 
rebuke  of  his  people  shall  he  take  away  from  off  all  the 
earth :  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

9  ^ And  it  shall  be  said  in  that  day,  Lo,  this  is  our  God ;  "we 
have  waited  for  him,  and  he  will  save  us :  this  is  the  Lord  ;  we 
have  waited  for  him,°we  will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  his  salvation. 

10  For  in  this  mountain  shall  the  hand  of  the  Lord  rest, 
and  Mo'ab  shall  be  ||  trodden  down  under  him,  even  as 
straw  is  H  trodden  down  for  the  dunghill. 

11  And  he  shall  spread  forth  his  hands  in  the  midst  of 
them,  as  he  that  swimmeth  spreadeth  forth  his  hands  to 
swim:  and  he  shall  bring  down  their  pride  together  with 
the  spoils  of  their  hands. 

12  And  the  "fortress  of  the  high  fort  of  thy  walls  shall  he 
bring  down,  lay  low,  and  bring  to  the  ground,  even  to  the  dust. 

CHAPTER  XXVL 

A  song  inciting  to  confidence  in  God/or  his  judgments. 

IN  "that  day  shall  this  song  be  sung  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah ; 
We  have  a  strong  city ;  'salvation  will  God  appoint  far 
walls  and  bulwarks. 

2  "Open  ye  the  gates,  that  the  righteous  nation  which 
keepeth  the  ftruth  may  enter  in.

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  tiiat  he  who  fleetn  from  the 
noise  of  the  fear  shall  fall  into  the  pit ;  and  he  that 
cometh  up  out  of  the  midst  of  the  pit  shall  be  taken 
in  the  snare :  for  the  windows  on  high  are  opened, 

19  and  the  foundations  of  the  earth  do  shake.  The 
earth  is  utterly  broken,  the  earth  is  clean  dissolved. 

20  the  earth  is  moved  exceedingly.  The  earth  shall 
stagger  like  a  drunken  man,  and  shall  be  moved  to 
and  fro  like  a  hut;  and  the  tran.sgression  thereof  shall 
be  heavy  upon  it,  and  it  shall  fall,  and  not  rise  again. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
Lord  shall  'punish  the  host  of  the  ^high  ones  on 
high,   and  the   kings   of  the  earth  upon  the  earth. 

22  And  they  shall  be  gathered  together,  as  prisoners  are 
gathered  in  the  'pit, and  shall  be  shut  up  in  the  prison, 

23  and  after  many  days  shall  be  H'isited.  Then 
the  moon  shall  be  confounded,  and  the  sun  ashamed ; 
for  the  Lord  of  ho.sts  shall  reign  in  mount  Zi'on,  and 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  'before  his  ^ancients  gloriously. 

''^0  O  Lord,  thou  art  my  God ;  I  will  exalt  thee,  I 
will  praise  thy  name ;  for  thou  ha.st  done  wonderful 
things,  even  counsels  of  old,  in  faithfulness  and  truth. 

2  For  thou  hast  made  of  a  city  an  heap ;  of  a  defenced 
city  a  ruin :  a  palace  of  strangers  to  be  no  city ;  it 

3  shall  never  be  built.  Therefore  shall  the  strong 
people  glorify  thee,  the  city  of  the  terrible  nations 

4  shall  fear  thee.  For  thou  hast  been  a  strong  hold 
to  the  poor,  a  strong  hold  to  the  needy  in  his  dis- 
tress, a  refuge  from  the  storm,  a  shadow  from  the 
heat,  when   the    blasts  of  the  terrible  ones  is  as  a 

5  storm  against  the  wall.  As  the  heat  in  a  dry  place 
shalt  thou  bring  down  the  noise  of  strangers ;  as  the 
heat  by  the  shadow  of  a  cloud,  the  song  of  the  ter- 

6  rible  ones  shall  be  brought  low.  And  in  this  mount- 
ain shall  the  Lord  of  hosts  make  unto  all  peoples 
a  feast  of  fat  things,  a  feast  of  wines  on  the  lees,  of 
fat  things  full  of  marrow,  of  wines  on  the  lees  well 

7  refined.  And  he  will  'destroy  in  this  mountain  the 
face   of  the  covering  that  is   cast  over  all  peoples. 

Sand  the  veil  that  is  spread  over  all  nations.  He 
hath  swallowed  up  death  for  ever;  and  the  Lord 
God  will  wipe  away  tears  from  off  all  faces ;  and  the 
reproach  of  his  people  shall  he  take  away  from  off 
all  the  earth  :  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

9  And  it  shall  be  said  in  that  day,  Lo,  this  is  our 
God ;  we  have  waited  for  him,  and  he  will  save  us : 
this  is  the  Lord  ;  we  have  waited  for  him,  we  will 

10  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  his  salvation.  For  in  this 
mountain  shall  the  hand  of  the  Lord  rest,  and  Mo'ab 
shall  be  trodden  down  in  his  place,  even  as  straw 

11  is  trodden  doAvn  *in  the  water  of  the  dunghill.  And 
he  shall  spread  forth  his  hands  in  the  midst  'thereof, 
as  he  that  swimmeth  spreadeth  forth  his  hands  to 
swim:  '"and  he  shall  lay  low  "his  pride  '^together  with 

12  the  craft  of  "his  hands.  And  the  fortress  of  the 
high  fort  of  thy  walls  "hath  he  brought  down,  laid 
low,  and  brought  to  the  ground,  even  to  the  dust. 

1^0  In  that  day  shall  this  song  be  sung  in  the  land 
of  Ju'dah :     We  have  a  strong  city ;  salvation  will  he 

2  appoint  for  walls  and  bulwarks.  Open  ye  the  gates, 
that  the  righteous  nation  which  keepeth  truth  may 

3  enter  in.  "Thou  wilt  keep  him  "in  perfect  peace, 
whose  '"mind  is  stayed  on  thee:  because  he  trusteth 

4 in    thee.     Trust   ye    in   the    Lord    for   ever;    for 

5  in  "the  Lord  jehovah  is  "an  everlasting  rock.    For

7  The  way  of  the  just  is  uprightness:  •''thou,  most  upright, 
dost  weigh  the  path  of  the  just. 

8  Yea,  "in  the  way  of  thy  judgments,  O  Lord,  have  we 
waited  for  thee ;  the  desire  of  our  soul  is  to  thy  name,  and 
to  the  remembrance  of  thee. 

9  *With  my  soul  have  I  desired  thee  in  the  night;  yea, 
with  my  spirit  within  me  will  I  seek  thee  early :  for  when 
thy  judgments  are  in  the  earth,  the  inhabitants  of  the  world 
will  learn  righteousness. 

10  'Let  favour  be  shewed  to  the  wicked,  yet  will  he  not 
learn  righteousness :  in  *the  land  of  uprightness  will  he  deal 
unjustly,  and  will  not  behold  the  majesty  of  the  Lord. 

11  Lord,  wActi  thy  hand  is  lifted  up,  'they  will  not  see: 
bid  they  shall  see,  and  be  ashamed  for  their  envy  ||at  the 
people;  yea,  the  fire  of  thine  enemies  shall  devour  them. 

12  ^Lord,  thou  wilt  ordain  peace  for  us :  for  thou  also 
hast  wrought  all  our  works  ||in  us. 

13  O  Lord  our  God,  "other  lords  besides  thee  have  had 
dominion  over  us ;  but  by  thee  only  will  we  make  mention 
of  thy  name. 

14  They  are  dead,  they  shall  not  live;  they  are  deceased, 
they  shall  not  rise :  therefore  hast  thou  visited  and  de- 
stroyed them,  and  made  all  their  memoiy  to  perish. 

15  Thou  hast  increased  the  nation,  O  Lord,  thou  hast 
increased  the  nation ;  thou  art  glorified :  thou  hadst  re- 
moved it  far  unto  all  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

16  Lord,  "in  trouble  have  they  visited  thee ;  they  poured 
out  a  tprayer  when  thy  chastening  was  upon  them.

time  of  her  delivery,  is  in  pain,  and  crieth  out  in  her  pangs;

shut  thy  doors  about  thee :  hide  thyself  as  it  were  'for  a

21  For,  behold,  the  Lord  "cometh  out  of  his  place  to  punish 
the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  for  their  iniquity :  the  earth  also 
shall  disclose  her  fblood,  and  shall  no  more  cover  her  slain.

'uprightness :  thou  that  art  upright  dost  ^direct  the

O  Lord,  have  we  waited  for  thee ;  to  thy  name  and 

9  to  thy  memorial  is  the  desire  of  our  soul.  With  my

4  lest  any  hurt  it,  I  will  keep  it  night  and  day.  Fury

9  By  this  therefore  shall  the  iniquity  of  Ja'cob  be  purged  ; 
and  this  is  all  the  fruit  to  take  away  his  sin;  when  he 
maketh  all  the  stones  of  the  altar  as  chalkstones  that  are 
beaten  in  sunder,  the  groves  and  ||  images  shall  not  stand  up. 

10  Yet  the  defenced  city  shall  be  desolate,  and  the  habitation 
forsaken,  and  left  like  a  wilderness :  "'there  shall  the  calf  feed, 
and  there  shall  he  lie  down,  and  consume  the  branches 
thereof. 

11  When  the  boughs  thereof  are  withered,  they  shall  be

Christ,  the  sure  foundation ,  is  promised. 

WOE  to  "the  crown  of  pride,  to  the  drunkards  of  E'phra-im, 
whose  'glorious  beauty  is  a  fading  flower, which  are  on  the 
head  of  the  fat  valleys  of  them  that  are  f  overcome  with  wine ! 

2  Behold,  the  Lord  hath  a  mighty  and  strong  one,  "which  as  a 
tempest  of  hail  and  a  destroying  storm,  as  a  flood  of  mighty 
waters  overflowing,  shall  cast  down  to  the  earth  with  the  hand. 

3  ''The  crown  of  pride,  the  drunkards  of  E'phra-im,  shall 
be  trodden  funder  feet : 

4  And  ^the  glorious  beauty,  which  is  on  the  head  of  the 
fat  valley,  shall  be  a  fading  flower  and  as  the  hasty  fruit

5  ^In  that  day  shall  the  Lord  of  hosts  be  for  a  crown 
of  glory,  and  for  a  diadem  of  beauty,  unto  the  residue  of 
his  people, 

6  And  for  a  spirit  of  judgment  to  him  that  sitteth  in  judg- 
ment, and  for  strength  to  them  that  turn  the  battle  to  the  gate. 

7  ^But  they  also  ■'have  erred  through  wine,  and  through 
strong  drink  are  out  of  the  way;  "the  priest  and  the 
prophet  have  erred  through  strong  drink,  they  are  swal- 
lowed up  of  wine,  they  are  out  of  the  way  through  strong 
drink;  they  err  in  vision,  they  stumble  in  judgment. 

8  For  all  tables  are  full  of  vomit  and  filthiness,  so  that

9  ^1  ''Whom  shall  he  teach  knowledge  ?  and  whom  shall  he 
make  to  under.stand  f  doctrine  ?  them  that  are  weaned  from 
the  milk,  and  drawn  from  the  breasts. 

10  For  precept  1 1  must  be  upon  precept,  precept  upon  precept ; 
line  upon  line,  line  upon  line ;  here  a  little,  and  there  a  little : 

11  For  with  f'stammering  lips  and  another  tongue  ||will 
he  speak  to  this  people. 

12  To  whom  he  said,  This  is  the  rest  wherewith  ye  may 
cause  the  weary  to  rest;  and  this  is  the  refreshing:  yet 
they  would  not  hear. 

13  But  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  unto  them,  precept 
upon  precept,  precept  upon  precept;  line  upon  line,  line 
upon  line;  here  a  little,  and  there  a  little;  that  they  might 
go,  and  fall  backward,  and  be  broken,  and  snared,  and  taken. 

14  ^Wherefore  hear  the  word  of  the  IjORD,  ye  scornful 
men,  that  rule  this  people  which  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  Because  ye  have  said,  We  have  made  a  covenant  with 
death,  and  with  hell  are  we  at  agreement ;  when  the  over- 
flowing scourge  shall  pass  through,  it  shall  not  come  unto 
us :  *for  we  have  made  lies  our  refuge,  and  under  falsehood 
have  we  hid  ourselves : 


9  Therefore  by  this  shall  the  iniquity  of  Ja'cob  be 
'purged,  and  this  is  all  the  fruit  ^of  taking  away  his 
sin;  when  he  maketh  all  the  stones  of  the  altar  as 
chalkstones  that  are  beaten  in  sunder,  so  that  the 
^Ash'er-im  and  the  sun-images  shall  rise  uo  more. 

10  For  the  defenced  city  is  solitary,  an  habitation  de- 
serted and  forsaken,  like  the  wilderness :  there  shall 
the  calf  feed,  and  there  shall  he  lie  down,  and  con- 

llsume  the  branches  thereof.  W^hen  the  boughs 
thereof  are  withered,  they  shall  be  broken  off;  the 
woman  shall  come,  and  set  them  on  fire:  for  it  is  a 
people  of  no  understanding;  therefore  he  that  made 
them  will  not  have  compassion  upon  them,  and  he 
that  formed  them  will  shiew  them  no  favour. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
Lord  shall  ''beat  off  his  fruit,  from  the  flood  of  the 
River  unto  the  brook  of  E'gypt,  and  ye  shall  be 
'gathered  'one  by  one,  O  ye  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  a  great 
trumpet  shall  be  blown ;  and  they  shall  come  which 
were 'ready  to  perish  in  the  land  of  As-syr'i-a, and  they 
that  were  outcasts  in  the  land  of  E'gypt;  and  they  shall 
worship  the  Lord  intheholy  mountainatJe-ru'sa-lem. 

OQ     Woe  to  the  crown  of  pride  of  the  drunkards  of 

E'phra-im,  and  to  the  fading  flower  of  his  glorious 

beauty,   which  is   on  the  head  of  the  fat  valley  of 

2  them  that  are  'overcome  with  wine !  Behold,  the 
Lord  hath  a  mighty  and  strong  one;  as  a  tempest 
of  hail,  a  destroying  storm,  as  a  tempest  of  mighty 
waters  overflowing,  shall  he  cast  down  to  the  earth 

3  'with  the  hand.  The  crown  of  pride  of  the  drunk 
ards  of   E'phra-im    shall    be    trodden   under   foot: 

4  and  the  fading  flower,  of  his  glorious  beauty, 
which  is  on  the  head  of  the  fat  valley,  shall  be  as  the 
firstripe  fig  before  the  summer ;  which  when  he  that 
looketh  upon  it  seeth,  while  it  is  yet  in  his  hand 

5  he  eateth  it  up.  In  that  day  shall  the  Lord  of  hosts 
be  for  a  crown  of  glory,  and  for  a  diadem  of  beauty, 

6  unto  the  residue  of  his  people :  and  for  a  spirit  of 
judgement  to  him  that  sitteth  in  judgement,  and  for 
strength  to  them  that  turn  back  the  battle  '"at  the 

7  gate.  But  these  also  "have  erred  through  wine,  and 
through  strong  drink  '^are  gone  astray ;  the  priest 
and  the  prophet  "have  erred  through  strong  drink, 
they  are  swallowed  up  of  wine,  they  are  gone  astray 
through   strong   drink ;   they    "err   in    vision,   they 

8  stumble  in  judgement.  For  all  tables  are  full  of 
vomit  and  filthiness,   so  that  there  is  no  place  clean. 

9  '^Whom  will  he  teach  knowledge  ?  and  whom  will 
he  make  to  understand  the  "message?  them  that 
are    weaned  from  the    milk,  and  drawn    from    the 

10 breasts?  For  it  is  precept  upon  precept,  precept 
upon  precept;  ''line  upon  line,  line  upon  line;  here 

11a  little,  there  a  little.  ""Nay,  but  by  men  of  strange

12 people:  to  whom  he  said.  This  is  the  rest,  give  ye 
rest  to  him  that  is  weary ;  and  this  is  the  refreshing : 

13  yet  they  would  not  hear.  Therefore  shall  the  word

16  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  lay  in 
Zi'on  for  a  foundation 'a  stone,  a  tried  stone,  a  precious  corner 
stone,  a  sure  foundation :  he  that  believeth  shall  not  make  haste. 

17  Judgment  also  will  I  lay  to  the  line,  and  righteousness 
to  the  plummet :  and  the  hail  shall  sweep  away  "the  refuge 
of  lies,  and  the  waters  shall  overflow  the  hiding  place. 

18  ^And  your  covenant  with  death  shall  be  disannulled, 
and  your  agreement  with  hell  shall  not  stand;  when  the 
overflowing  scourge  shall  pass  through,  then  ye  shall  be 
ftrodden  down  by  it. 

19  From  the  time  that  it  goeth  forth  it  shall  take  you :  'for 
morning  by  morning  shall  it  pass  over,  by  day  and  by  night : 
and  it  shall  be  a  vexation  only  ||  to  understand  the  report. 

20  For  the  bed  is  shorter  than  that  a  man  can  stretch 
himself  on  it :  and  the  covering  narrower  than  that  he  can 
wrap  himself  in  it. 

21  For  the  Loed  shall  rise  up  as  in  mount  "Per'a-zim,  he  shall 
be  wroth  as  in  the  valley  of  °Gib'e-on,  that  he  may  do  his  work, 
"his  strange  work;  and  bring  to  pass  his  act,  his  strange  act. 

22  Now  therefore  be  ye  not  mockers,  lest  your  bands  be 
made  strong :  for  I  have  heard  from  the  Lord  God  of  hosts 
'a  consumption,  even  determined  upon  the  whole  earth. 

23  ^Give  ye  ear,  and  hear  my  voice :  hearken,  and  hear 
my  speech. 

24  Doth  the  ploughman  plough  all  day  to  sow?  doth  he 
open  and  break  the  clods  of  his  ground  ? 

25  When  he  hath  made  plain  the  face  thereof,  doth  he  not 
cast  abroad  the  fitches,  and  scatter  the  cummin,  and  cast  in 
II  the  principal  wheat,and  the  appointed  barley, and  the  |1  rye 
in  their  fplace? 

26  II  For  his  God  doth  instruct  him  to  discretion,  and  doth 
teach  him. 

27  For  the  fitches  are  not  threshed  with  a  threshing  in- 
strument, neither  is  a  cart  wheel  turned  about  upon  the 
cummin ;  but  the  fitches  are  beaten  out  with  a  staflj  and  the 
cummin  with  a  rod. 

28  Bread  corn  is  bruised;  because  he  will  not  ever  be 
threshing  it,  nor  break  it  with  the  wheel  of  his  cart,  nor 
bruise  it  with  his  horsemen, 

29  This  also  cometh  forth  from  the  Lord  of  hosts,  'which 
is  wonderful  in  counsel,  and  excellent  in  working. 

CHAPTER    XXIX. 

A  promise  of  sanctification  to  the  godly. 

WOE   11*^0  A'ri-el,  to  A'ri-el,   ||the  city  ^wher'e  Da'vid 
dwelt !  add  ye  year  to  year ;  let  them  fkill  sacrifices. 

2  Yet  I  will  distress  A'ri-el,  and  there  shall  be  heaviness 
and  sorrow :  and  it  shall  be  unto  me  as  A'ri-el. 

3  And  I  will  camp  against  thee  round  about,  and  will  lay 
siege  against  thee  with  a  mount,  and  I  will  raise  forts  against 
thee. 

4  And  thou  shalt-be  brought  down,  and  shalt  speak  out  of 
the  ground,  and  thy  speech  shall  be  low  out  of  the  dust,  and 
thy  voice  shall  be,  '\s  of  one  that  hath  a  familiar  spirit,  "out 
of  the  ground,  and  thy  speech  shall  fwhisper  out  of  the  dust. 

5  Moreover  the  multitude  of  thy  ''strangers  shall  be  like  small 
dust,  and  the  multitude  of  the  terrible  ones  »hall  be  "as  chaff 
that  passeth  away :  yea,  it  shall  be  -^at  an  instant  suddenly. 

6  "Thou  shalt  be  visited  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  with  thun- 
der, and  with  earthquake,  and  great  noise,  with  storm  and 
tempest,  and  the  flame  of  devouring  fire. 

7  ^[*And  the  multitude  of  all  the  nations  that  fight  against 
A'ri-el,  even  all  that  fight  against  her  and  her  munition,  and 
that  distress  her,  shall  be  'as  a  dream  of  a  night  vision. 

8  *It  shall  even  be  as  when  a  hungry  man  dreameth,  and, 
behold,  he  eateth ;  but  he  awaketh,  and  his  soul  is  empty : 
or  as  when  a  thirsty  man  dreameth,  and,  behold,  he  drink- 
eth ;  but  he  awaketh,  and,  behold,  he  is  faint,  and  his  soul 
hath  appetite :  so  shall  the  multitude  of  all  the  nations  be 
that  fignt  against  mount  Zi'on. 


16  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  *lay 
in  Zi'on  for  a  foundation  a  stone,  a  tried  stone,  a 
precious  corner  stone  of  sure  foundation :    he  that 

17  believeth  shall  not  make  haste.  And  I  will  make 
judgement  the  line,  and  righteousness  the  plummet: 
and  the  hail  shall  sweep  away  the  refuge  of  lies, 
and    the    waters  shall   overflow   the   hiding  place. 

18  And  your  covenant  with  death  shall  be  disannulled, 
and  your  agreement  with  ^hell  shall  not  stand;  when 
the  overflowing  scourge  shall  pass  through,  then  ye 

19  shall  be  trodden  down  by  it.  As  often  as  it  passeth 
through,  it  shall  take  you ;  for  morning  by  morn- 
ing shall  it  pass  through,  by  day  and  by  night : 
and  it  shall  be  nought  but  terror  to  understand  the 

20 'message.  For  the  bed  is  shorter  than  that  a  man 
can  stretch  him.«elf  on  it ;  and  the  covering  narrower 

21  than  that  he  can  wrap  himself  in  it.  For  the  Lord 
shall  rise  up  as  in  ^mount  Per'a-zim,  he  shall  be  wroth 
as  in  the  valley  of  Gib'e-on ;  that  he  may  do  his 
work,  his  strange  work,  and  bring  to  pass  his  act, 

22  his  strange  act.  Now  therefore  be  ye  not scorners,  lest 
your  bands  be  made  strong:  for  a  consummation, 
and  that  determined,  have  I  heard  from  the  Lord, 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  upon  the  whole  'earth. 

23  Give  ye  ear,  and  hear  my  voice  ;  hearken,  and  hear 

24  my  speech.  Doth  the  plowman  plow  continually  to 
sow  ?   doth  he  continually  open  and  break  the  clods 

25 of  his  ground?  When  he  hath  made  plain  the  face 
thereof,  doth  he  not  cast  abroad  the  *fitches,  and  scatter 
the  cummin,  and  put  in  the  wheat  in  rows  and  the  bar- 
ley in  the  appointed  place  and  the  spelt  in  the  border 

26  thereof?   'For  his  God  doth  instruct  him  aright,  and 

27  doth  teach  him.  For  the  fitches  are  not  threshed  with 
a  sharp  threshing  instrument,  neither  is  a  cart  wheel 
turned  about  upon  the  cummin ;  but  the  fitches  are 
beaten  out  with  a  staff,  and  the  cummin  with  a  rod. 

28  'Bread  corn  is  ground ;  for  he  will  not  ever  be  thresh- 
ing  it:    and  though   the  wheel  of  his  cart  and  his 

29  horses  scatter  it,  he  doth  not  grind  it.  This  also 
cometh  forth  from  the  Lord  of  hosts,  which  is  won- 
derful in  counsel,  and  excellent  in  "wisdom. 

«  V  '"Ho  "A'ri-el,  A'ri-el,  the  city  where  Da'vid  encamped ! 

2 add  ye  year  to  year;  let  the  feasts  come  round:  then 

will  I  distress  A'ri-el,  and  there  shall  be  mourning 

and  lamentation  :  '^and  she  shall  be  unto  me  as  A'ri-el. 

3  And  I  will  camp  against  thee  round  about,  and  will  lay 
siege  against  thee  with  a  fort,  and  I  will  raise  siege 

4  works  against  thee.  And  thou  shalt  be  brought  down, 
and  shalt  speak  out  of  the  ground,  and  thy  speech 
shall  be  low  out  of  the  dust ;  and  thy  voice  shall  be 
as  of  one  that  hath  a  familiar  .spirit,  out  of  the  ground, 

5  and  thy  speech  shall  "whisper  out  of  the  dust.  But 
the  multitude  of  thy  "foes  shall  be  like  small  dust,  and 
the  multitude  of  the  terrible  ones  as  chaff  that  passeth 

6  away  :  yea,  it  shall  be  at  an  instant  suddenly.  "^She 
shall  be  visited  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  with  thunder, 
and  with  earthquake,  and  great  noise,  with  whirlwind 

7  and  tempest,  and  the  flame  of  a  devouring  fire.  And 
the  multitude  of  all  the  nations  that  fight  against 
A'ri-el,  even  all  that  fight  against  her  and  her  strong 
hold,  and  that  distress  her,  shall  be  as  a  dream,  a 

8  vision  of  the  night.  And  it  shall  be  as  when  an 
hungry  man  dreameth,  and,  behold,  he  eateth;  but 
he  awaketh,  and  his  soul  is  empty :  or  as  when  a 
thirsty  man  dreameth,  and,  behold,  he  drinketh ;  but 
he  awaketh,  and,  behold,  he  is  faint,  and  his  soul 
hath  appetite :  so  shall  the  multitude  of  all  the 
nations  be,  that  fight  against  mount  Zi'on.

I  cry  ye  out,  and  cry : 
they  stagger,  but 


9  ^Stay  yourselves,  and  wonder ; 
'they  are  drunken,  "but  not  with  wine 
not  with  strong  drink. 

10  For  "the  Lord  hath  poured  out  upon  you  the  spirit  of 
deep  sleep,  and  hath  "closed  your  eyes:  the  prophets  and 
your  frulers,  "the  seers  hath  he  covered. 

11  And  the  vision  of  all  is  become  unto  you  as  the  words 
of  a  II  book  'that  is  sealed,  which  men  deliver  to  one  that  is 
learned,  saying,  Read  this,  I  pray  thee :  ""and  he  saith,  I 
cannot ;  for  it  is  sealed : 

12  And  the  book  is  delivered  to  him  that  is  not  learned,  say- 
ing. Read  this,  I  pray  thee :  and  he  saith,  I  am  not  learned. 

13  ^Wherefore  the  LoKD  said,  'Forasmuch  as  this  people 
draw  near  me  with  their  mouth,  and  with  their  lips  do 
honour  me,  but  have  removed  their  heart  far  from  me,  and 
their  fear  toward  me  is  taught  by  'the  precept  of  men : 

14  "Therefore,  behold,  fl  will  proceed  to  do  a  marvellous 
work  among  this  people,  even  a  marvellous  work  and  a 
wonder:  ""for  the  wisdom  of  their  wise  men  shall  perish, 
and  the  understanding  of  their  prudent  men  shall  be  hid. 

15  "Woe  unto  them  that  seek  deep  to  hide  their  counsel 
from  the  Lord,  and  their  works  are  in  the  dark,  and  'they 
say,  Who  seeth  us?  and  who  knoweth  us? 

16  Surely  your  turning  of  things  upside  down  shall  be 
esteemed  as  the  potter's  clay  :  for  shall  the  ''work  say  of  him 
that  made  it.  He  made  me  not?  or  shall  the  thing  framed 
say  of  him  that  framed  it,  He  had  no  understanding  ? 

17  /s  it  not  yet  a  very  little  while,  and  "Leb'a-non  shall  be 
turned  into  a  fruitful  field,  and  the  fruitful  field  shall  be 
esteemed  as  a  forest? 

18  ^And  ''in  that  day  shall  the  deaf  hear  the  words  of  the 
book,  and  the  eyes  of  the  blind  shall  see  out  of  obscurity, 
and  out  of  darkness. 

19  'The  meek  also  fshall  increase  their  joy  in  the  Lord,  and 
■'^the  poor  among  men  shall  rejoice  in  the  Holy  Oneof  Is'ra-el. 

20  For  the  terrible  one  is  brought  to  nought,and  "the  scorner 
is  consumed,  and  all  that  ''watch  for  iniquity  are  cut  oiF: 

21  That  make  a  man  an  offender  for  a  word,  and  'lay  a 
snare  for  him  that  reproveth  in  the  gate,  and  turn  aside  the 
just  *for  a  thing  of  nought. 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  'who  redeemed  A'bra- 
ham,  concerning  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  Ja'cob  shall  not  now 
be  ashamed,  neither  shall  his  face  now  wax  pale. 

23  But  when  he  seeth  his  children,  ""the  work  of  mine  hands, 
in  the  midst  of  him,  they  shall  sanctify  my  name,  and  sanc- 
tify the  Holy  One  of  Ja'cob,  and  shall  fear  the  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  They  "also  that  erred  in  spirit  fshall  come  to  under- 
standing, and  they  that  murmured  shall  learn  doctrine. 

CHAPTER    XXX. 

God's  mercies  toward  his  church,  and  the  destruction  of  Assyria. 

WOE  to  the  rebellious  children,  saith  the  Lord,  "that  take 
counsel,  but  not  of  me ;  and  that  cover  with  a  covering, 
but  not  of  my  Spirit,  'that  they  may  add  sin  to  sin : 

2  "That  walk  to  go  down  into  E'gypt,  and  ''have  not  asked 
at  my  mouth ,  to  strengthen  themselves  in  the  strength  of 
Pha'raoh,  and  to  trust  in  the  shadow  of  E'gypt ! 

3  'Therefore  shall  the  strength  of  Pha'raoh  be  your  shame, 
and  the  trust  in  the  shadow  of  E'gypt  your  confusion. 

4  For  his  princes  were  at  -^Zo'an,  and  his  ambassadors 
came  to  Ha'nes. 

5  "They  were  all  ashamed  of  a  people  that  could  not  profit 
them,  nor  be  a  help  nor  profit,  but  a  shame,  and  also  a 
reproach. 

6  '■The  burden  of  the  beasts  of  the  south :  Into  the  land 
of  trouble  and  anguish,  from  whence  come  the  young  and  old 
lion,  'the  viper  and  fiery  flying  serpent,  they  will  carry  their 
riches  upon  the  shoulders  of  young  asses,  and  their  treas- 
ures upon  the  bunches  of  camels,  to  a  people  that  shall  not 
profit  them. 


9  'Tarry  ye  and  wonder;  ^take  your  pleasure  and 
be  blind :    they   are   drunken,  but   not   with   wine ; 

10  they  stagger,  but  not  with  strong  drink.  For  the 
Lord  hath  poured  out  upon  you  the  spirit  of  deep 
sleep,  and  hath  closed  ^your   eyes,  the    prophets; 

Hand  your  heads,  the  seers,  hath  he  covered.  And 
all  vision  is  become  unto  you  as  the  words  of  a 
*book  that  is  sealed,  which  men  deliver  to  one  that 
'is  learned,  saying.  Read  this,  I  pray  thee :   and  he 

12 saith,  I  cannot,  for  it  is  sealed:  and  the  book  is 
delivered  to  him  that  is  not  learned,  saying.  Read 
this,  I  pray  thee :  and  he  saith,  I  am  not  learned. 

13  And  the  Lord  said,  Forasmuch  as  this  people  draw 
nigh  unto  me,  and  with  their  mouth  and  with  their  lips 
do  honour  me,  but  have  removed  their  heart  far  from 
me,  and  their  fear  of  me  is  a  commandment  of  men 

14  which  hath  been  Haught  them:  therefore,  behold,  I 
will  'proceed  to  do  a  marvellous  work  among  this 
people,  even  a  marvellous  work  and  a  wonder:  and 
the  wisdom  of  their  wise  men  shall  perish,  and  the 
understanding  of  their  prudent  men  shall  be  hid. 

15  Vt'^oe  unto  them  that  seek  deep  to  hide  their  counsel 
from  the  Lord,  and  their  works  are  in  the  dark,  and 

16 they  say.  Who  seeth  us?  and  who  knoweth  us?  *Ye 
turn  things  upside  down !  Shall  the  potter  be  counted 
as  clay ;  that  the  thing  made  should  say  of  him  that 
made  it.  He  made  me  not ;  or  the  thing  framed  say  of 

17  him  that  framed  it.  He  hath  no  understanding?  Is  it 
not  yet  a  very  little  while,  and  Leb'a-non  shall  be  turned 
into  a  fruitful  field ,  and  the  fruitful  field  shall  be  counted 

18  for  a  forest  ?  And  in  that  day  shall  the  deaf  hear  the 
words  of  'the  book,  and  the  eyes  of  the  blind  shall 

19  see  out  of  obscurity  and  out  of  darkness.  The 
meek  also  shall  increase  their  joy  in  the  Lord,  and 
the  poor  among  men  shall  rejoice  in  the  Holy  One 

20  of  Is'ra-el.  For  the  terrible  one  is  brought  to  nought, 
and  the  scorner  ceaseth,  and  all  they  that  watch  for 

21  iniquity  are  cut  off:  that  '"make  a  man  an  offender  in 
a  cause,  and  lay  a  snare  for  him  that  reproveth  in  the 
gate,  and  turn  aside  the  just  with  a  thing  of  nought. 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  who  redeemed  A'bra- 
ham,  concerning  the  house  of  Ja'cob :  Ja'cob  shall  not 
now  be  ashamed,  neither  shall  his  face  kow  wax  pale. 

23  "But  when  he  seeth  his  children,  the  work  of  mine 
hands,  in  the  midst  of  him,  they  ahall  sanctify  my 
name;  yea,  they  shall  sanctify  the  Holy  One  of  Ja'cob, 

24  and  shall  stand  in  awe  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.  They  also 
that  err  in  spirit  '^shall  come  to  understanding,  and 
they  that  murmur  shall  learn  '^doctrine. 

vU  Woe  to  the  rebellious  children,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  take  counsel,  but  not  of  me ;  and  that  '^cover 
with  a  covering,  but  not  of  my  spirit,  that  they  may 
2 add  sin  to  sin:  that  walk  to  go  down  into  E'gypt, 
and  have  not  asked  at  my  mouth ;  to  "^strengthen 
themselves  in  the  strength  of  Pha'raoh,  and  to  trust 

3  in  the  shadow  of  E'gypt !  Therefore  shall  the 
strength  of  Pha'raoh  be  your  shame,  and  the  trust 

4  in  the  shadow  of  E'gypt  your  confusion.  For  his 
princes  are  at  Zo'an,  and  his  ambassadors  are  come 

5  to  Ha'nes.  They  shall  all  be  ashamed  of  a  people 
that  cannot  profit  them,  that  are  not  an  help  nor 
profit,  but  a  shame,  and  also  a  reproach. 

6  The  '^burden  of  the  beasts  of  the  South. 
Through  the  laud  of  trouble   and  anguish,  from 

whence  come  the  lioness  and  the  lion,  the  viper  and 
fiery  flying  serpent,  they  carry  their  riches  upon  the 
shoulders  of  young  asses,  and  their  treasures  upon  the 
bunches  of  camels,  to  a  people  that  shall  not  profit  them.

7  *For  the  E-gyp'tians  shall  help  in  vain,  and  to  no  pur- 
pose: therefore  have  I  cried  ||  concerning  this, 'Their  strength 
is  to  sit  still. 

8  ^Now  go,  "write  it  before  them  in  a  table,  and  note  it  in  a 
book,  that  it  may  be  for  fthe  time  to  come  for  ever  and  ever : 

9  That  "this  is  a  rebellious  people,  lying  children,  children 
that  will  not  hear  the  law  of  the  Lord: 

10  "Which  say  to  the  seers.  See  not ;  and  to  the  prophets, 
Prophesy  not  unto  us  right  things,  "speak  unto  us  smooth 
things,  prophesy  deceits : 

11  Get  you  out  of  the  way,  turn  aside  out  of  the  path, 
cause  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el  to  cease  from  before  us. 

12  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  Because 
ye  despise  this  word,  and  trust  in  ||  oppression  and  perverse- 
ness,  and  stay  thereon : 

13  Therefore  this  iniquity  shall  be  to  you  «as  a  breach 
ready  to  fall,  swelling  out  in  a  high  wall,  whose  breaking 
'Cometh  suddenly  at  an  instant. 

14  And  'he  shall  break  it  as  the  breaking  of  fthe  potters' 
\essel  that  is  broken  in  pieces;  he  shall  not  spare:  so  that 
there  shall  not  be  found  in  the  bursting  of  it  a  sherd  to  take 
fire  from  the  hearth,  or  to  take  water  withal  out  of  the  pit. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el ; 
'In  returning  and  rest  shall  ye  be  saved;  in  quietness  and 
in  confidence  shall  be  your  strength  :  "and  ye  would  not. 

16  But  ye  said.  No ;  for  we  will  flee  upon  horses ;  therefore 
shall  ye  flee:  and.  We  will  ride  upon  the  swift;  therefore 
shall  they  that  pursue  you  be  swift. 

17  ''One  thousand  shall  flee  at  the  rebuke  of  one;  at  the 
rebuke  of  five  shall  ye  flee :  till  ye  be  left  as  |]  a  beacon  upon 
the  top  of  a  mountain,  and  as  an  ensign  on  a  hill. 

18  11  And  therefore  will  the  Lord  wait,  that  he  may  be 
gracious  unto  you,  and  therefore  will  he  be  exalted,  that  he 
may  have  mercy  upon  you :  for  the  Lord  is  a  God  of  judg- 
ment :  ''blessed  are  all  they  that  wait  for  him. 

19  For  the  people  'shall  dwell  in  Zi'on  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  thou 
shale  weep  no  more :  he  will  be  very  gracious  unto  thee  at  the 
voice  of  thy  cry ;  when  be  shall  hear  it,  he  will  answer  thee. 

20  And  though  the  Lord  give  you  "the  bread  of  adversity,  and 
the  water  of  ||  affliction,  yet  shall  not  Hhy  teachers  be  removed 
into  a  comer  any  more,  but  thine  eyes  shall  see  thy  teachers : 

21  And  thine  ears  shall  hear  a  word  behind  thee,  saying, 
This  is  the  way,  walk  ye  in  it,  when  ye  "turn  to  the  right 
hand,  and  when  ye  turn  to  the  left. 

22  ''Ye  shall  defile  also  the  covering  of  fthy  graven  images 
of  silver,  and  the  ornament  of  thy  molten  images  of  gold : 
thou  shalt  feast  them  away  as  a  menstruous  cloth ;  thou 
shalt  say  unto  it,  Get  thee  hence. 

23  •'Then  shall  he  give  the  rain  of  thy  seed,  that  thou  shalt 
sow  the  ground  withal ;  and  bread  of  the  increase  of  the 
earth,  and  it  shall  be  fat  and  plenteous :  in  that  day  shall  thy 
cattle  feed  in  large  pastures. 

24  The  oxen  likewise  and  the  young  asses  that  ear  the 
ground  shall  eat  Hfclean  provender,  which  hath  been  win- 
nowed with  the  shovel  and  with  the  fan. 

25  And  there  shall  be  "upon  every  high  mountain,  and  upon 
every  fhigh  hill,  rivers  and  streams  oi  waters  in  the  day  of 
the  great  slaughter,  when  the  towers  fall. 

26  Moreover  *the  light  of  the  moon  shall  be  as  the  light  of 
the  sun,  and  the  light  of  the  sun  shall  be  sevenfold,  as  the 
light  of  seven  days,  in  the  day  that  the  Lord  bindeth  up  the 
breach  of  his  people,  and  healeth  the  stroke  of  their  wound. 

27  ^Behold,  the  name  of  the  liORD  cometh  from  fiir,  burn- 
ing with  his  anger,||  and  the  burden  thereof  is  fhcavy :  his  lips 
are  full  of  indignation,  and  his  tongue  as  a  devouring  fire : 

28  And  'his  breath,  as  an  overflowing  stream,  'shall  reach 
to  the  midst  of  the  neck,  to  sift  the  nations  with  the  sieve 
of  vanity :  and  there  shall  be  'a  bridle  in  the  jaws  of  the  peo- 
ple, causing  them  to  err. 


7  For  E'gypt  helpeth  in  vain,  and  to  no  purpose :  there- 

8  fore  have  I  'called  her  Ra'hab  that  sitteth  still.  Now 
go,  write  it  before  them  on  a  tablet,  and  inscribe  it  in 
a  book,  that  it  may  be  for  the  time  to  come  ^for  ever  and 

9  ever.     For  it  is  a  rebellious  people,  lying  children, 

10  children  that  will  not  hear  the^law  of  the  Lord  :  which 
say  to  the  seers.  See  not ;  and  to  the  prophets,  Pro- 
phesy not  unto  us  right  things,  speak  unto  us  smooth 

1 1  things,  prophesy  deceits :  get  you  out  of  the  way,  turn 
aside  out  of  the  path,  cause  the  Holy  One  of  I.s'ra-el 

12  to  cease  from  before  us.  Wherefore  thus  saith  the 
Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  Because  ye  despise  this  word, 
and  trust  in  oppression  and  perverseness,  and  stay 

13  thereon :  therefore  this  iniquity  shall  be  to  you  as  a 
breach  ready  to  fall,  swelling  out  in  a  high  wall, 
whose    breaking    cometh    suddenly    at    an    instant. 

14  And  he  shall  break  it  as  a  potter's  vessel  is  broken, 
breaking  it  in  pieces  without  sparing;  so  that  there 
shall  not  be  found  among  the  pieces  thereof  a  sherd 
to  take  fire  from  the  hearth,  or  td  take  water  withal 

15 out  of  the  cistern.'  For  thus  said  the  Lord  God, 
the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  In  returning  and  rest  shall 
ye  be  saved;  in  quietness  and  in  confidence  shall 

16 be  your  strength:  and  ye  would  not.  But  ye  said. 
No,  for  we  will  flee  upon  horses ;  therefore  shall  ye 
flee:   and.   We  will  ride  upon  the  swift;   therefore 

17  shall  they  that  pursue  you  oe  swift.  One  thousand 
shall  flee  at  the  rebuke  of  one  ;  at  the  rebuke  of  five 
shall  ye  flee:  till  ye  be  left  as  *a,  beacon  upon  the  top 

18  of  a  mountain,  and  as  an  ensign  on  an  hill.  And  there- 
fore will  the  Lord  wait,  that  he  may  be  gracious 
unto  you,  and  therefore  will  he  be  exalted,  that  he 
may  have  mercy  upon  you :  for  the  Lord  is  a  God 
of  judgment;  blessed  are  all  they  that  wait  for  him. 

19  For  'the  people  shall  dwell  ir.  Zi'on  at  Je-ru'sa-lem : 
thou  shalt  weep  no  more ;  he  will  surely  be  gracious 
unto  thee  at  the  voice  of  thy  cry ;  when  he  shall  hear, 

20  he  will  answer  thee.  'And  though  the  Lord  give  you 
the  bread  of  adversity  and  the  water  of  affliction,  yet 
shall  not  thy  'teachers  *be  hidden  any  more,  but  thine 

21  eyes  shall  see  thy  'teachers :  and  thine  ears  shall  hear 
a  word  behind  thee,  saying,This  is  the  way,  walk  ye  in 
it ;  when  ye  turn  to  the  right  hand,  and  when  ye  turn 

22  to  the  left.  And  ye  shall  defile  the  overlaying  of 
thy  graven  images  of  silver,  and  the  plating  of  thy 
molten  images  of  gold :  thou  shalt  'cast  them  away 
as  an  '"unclean  thing;  thou  shalt  say  unto  it,  Get 

23  thee  hence.  And  he  shall  give  the  rain  of  thy  seed, 
that  thou  shalt  sow  the  ground  withal ;  and  bread 
of  the  increase  of  the  ground,  and  it  shall  be  fat 
and  plenteous:  in  that  day  shall  thy  cattle  feed  in 

24  large  pastures.  The  oxen  likewise  and  the  young 
asses  that  till  the  ground  shall  eat  "savoury  prov- 
ender, which  hath   been  winnowed  with  the  shovel 

25  and  with  the  fan.  And  there  shall  be  upon  every 
lofty  mountain,  and  upon  every  high  hill,  rivers  and 
streams  of  waters,  in  the  day  of  the  great  slaughter, 

26  when  the  towers  fall.  Moreover  the  light  of  the 
moon  shall  be  as  the  light  of  the  sun,  and  the  light 
of  the  sun  shall  be  sevenfold,  as  the  light  of  seven 
days,  in  the  day  that  the  Lord  bindeth  up  the  hurt 
of  his  people,  and  healeth  the  stroke  of  their  wound. 

27  Behold,  the  name  of  the  Lord  cometh  from  fiir, 
burning  with  his  anger,  and  in  thick  ri.sing  smoke : 
his  lips  are  full  of  indignation,  and  his  tongue  is  as 

28a  devouring  fire:  and  his  breath  is  as  an  overflowing 
stream,  that  reacheth  even  unto  the  neck,  to  sift  the 
nations  with  the  sieve  of  '^vanity :  and  a  bridle  that 
causeth  to  err  shall  be  in  the  jaws  of  the  peoples.

29  Ye  shall  have  a  song,  as  in  the  night,  "when  a  holy 
solemnity  is  kept;  and  gladness  of  heart,  as  when  one 
goeth  with  a  pipe  to  come  into  the  "mountain  of  the  Lord, 
to  the  fMighty  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

30  "And  the  Lord  shall  cause  fhis  glorious  voice  to  be 
heard,  and  shall  shew  the  lighting  down  of  his  arm,  with 
the  indignation  of  his  anger,  and  with  the  flame  of  a  de- 
vouring fire,  with  scattering,  and  tempest,  ^and  hailstones. 

31  For  "through  the  voice  of  the  Lord  shall  the  As-syr'i-an 
be  beaten  down,  ''which  smote  with  a  rod. 

32  And  -fin  every  place  where  the  grounded  staff  shall  pass, 
which  the  Lord  shall  flay  upon  him,  it  shall  be  with  tabrets 
and  harps:  and  in  battles  of 'shaking  will  he  fight  ||  with  it. 

33  'For  To'phet  is  ordained  fof  old;  yea,  for  the  king  it 
is  prepared ;  he  hath  made  it  deep  and  large :  the  pile 
thereof  is  fire  and  much  wood ;  the  breath  of  the  Lord, 
like  a  stream  of  brimstone,  doth  kindle  it. 

CHAPTER    XXXI. 

The  folly  of  trusting  in  Egypt. 

WOE  to  them  "that  go  down  to  E'gypt  for  help;  and 
'stay  on  horses,  and  trust  in  chariots,  because  they  are 
many;  and  in  horsemen,  because  they  are  very  strong; 
but  they  look  not  unto  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  "neither 
seek  the  Lord! 

2  Yet  he  also  is  wise,  and  will  bring  evil,  and  ''will  not  fcall 
back  his  words:  but  will  arise  against  the  house  of  the 
evil  doers,  and  against  the  help  of  them  that  work  iniquity. 

3  Now  the  E-gyp'tians  are  'men,  and  not  God;  and  their 
horses  flesh,  and  not  spirit.  When  the  Lord  shall  stretch 
out  his  hand,  both  he  that  helpeth  shall  fall,  and  he  that  is 
holpen  shall  fall  down,  and  they  all  shall  fail  together. 

4  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  spoken  unto  me,  -^Like  as  the 
lion  and  the  young  lion  roaring  on  his  prey,  when  a  multi- 
tude of  shepherds  is  called  forth  against  him,  he  will  not 
be  afraid  of  their  voice,  nor  abase  himself  for  the  ||  noise  of 
them :  "so  shall  the  Lord  of  hosts  come  down  to  fight  for 
mount  Zi'on,  and  for  the  hill  thereof 

5  *As  birds  flying,  so  will  the  Lord  of  hosts  defend  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem ;  'defencfing  also  he  will  deliver  it ;  and  passing  over 
he  will  preserve  it. 

6  %  Turn  ye  unto  him  from  whom  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
have  *deeply  revolted. 

7  For  in  that  day  every  man  shall  'cast  away  his  idols  of 
silver,  and  fhis  idols  of  gold,  which  your  own  hands  have 
made  unto  you /or  ""a  sin. 

8  ^Then  shall  the  As-syr'i-an  "fall  with  the  sword,  not  of 
a  mighty  man ;  and  the  sword,  not  of  a  mean  man,  shall  de- 
vour him:  but  he  shall  flee  ||from  the  sword,  and  his  young 
men  shall  be  1]  fdiscomfited. 

9  And  "the  shall  pass  over  to  ||  his  strong  hold  for  fear, 
and  his  princes  shall  be  afraid  of  the  ensign,  saith  the  Lord, 
whose  fire  is  in  Zi'on,  and  his  furnace  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

CHAPTER  XXXII. 

The  blessings  of  Christ's  kingdom. 

BEHOLD,  "a  King   shall    reign    in   righteousness,  and 
princes  shall  rule  in  judgment. 

2  And  a  man  shall  be  as  a  hiding  place  from  the  wind, 
and  ''a  covert  from  the  tempest ;  as  rivers  of  water  in  a  dry 
place,  as  the  shadow  of  a  fgreat  rock  in  a  weary  land. 

3  And  "the  eyes  of  them  that  see  shall  not  be  dim,  and  the 
ears  of  them  that  hear  shall  hearken. 

4  The  heart  also  ofthe  frashshall  understand  knowledge,and 
the  tongue  ofthe  stammerers  shall  be  ready  to  speak  |1  plainly. 

5  The  vile  person  shall  be  no  more  called  liberal,  nor  the 
churl  said  to  be  bountiful. 

6  For  the  vile  person  will  speak  villany,  and  his  heart 
will  work  iniquity,  to  practice  hypocrisy,  and  to  utter  error 
against  the  Lord,  to  make  empty  the  soul  of  the  hungry ; 
and  he  will  cause  the  drink  of  the  thirsty  to  fail. 


29  Ye  shall  have  a  song  as  in  the  night  'when  a  holy 
feast  is  kept;  and  gladness  of  heart,  as  when  one 
goeth  with  a  pipe  to  come  into  the  mountain  ofthe 

30  Lord,  to  the  Kock  of  Is'ra-el.  And  the  Lord  shall 
cause  his  glorious  voice  to  be  heard,  and  shall  shew 
the  lighting  down  of  his  arm,  with  the  indignation 
o?  his  anger,  and  the  flame  of  a  devouring  fire,  with 

31  ^a  blast,  and  tempest,  and  hailstones.  For  through 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  shall  the  As-syr'i-an  be  broken 

32  in  pieces,  'which  smote  with  a  rod.  And  every 
^stroke  of  the  ''appointed  staff,  which  the  Lord  shall 
lay  upon  him,  snail  be  with  tabrets  and  harps;  and 

33  in  battles  of  shaking  will  he  fight  with  them.  For 
*a  To'pheth  is  prepared  of  old ;  yea,  for  the  king  it 
is  made  ready ;  he  hath  made  it  deep  and  large :  the 
pile  thereof  is  fire  and  much  wood;  the  breath  of 
the  Lord,  like  a  stream  of  brimstone,  doth  kindle  it. 

v+  Woe  to  them  that  go  down  to  E'gypt  for  help, 
and  stay  on  horses;  and  trust  in  chariots,  because 
they  are  many,  and  in  horsemen,  because  they  are 
very  strong;  but  they  look  not  unto  the  Holy  One 

2  of  Is'ra-el,  neither  seek  the  Lord  !  Yet  he  also  is 
wise,  and  will  bring  evil,  and  will  not  call  back  his 
words :  but  will  arise  against  the  house  of  the  evil- 
doers,   and   against   the   help   of  them   that    work 

3  iniquity.  Now  the  E-gyp'tians  are  men,  and  not 
God;  and  their  horses  flesh,  and  not  spirit:  and 
when  the  Lord  shall  stretch  out  his  hand,  both  he 
that  helpeth  shall  stumble,  and  he  that  is   holpen 

4  shall  fall,  and  they  all  shall  fail  together.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  unto  me.  Like  as  when  the  lion 
growleth  and  the  young  lion  over  his  prey,  if  a 
multitude  of  shepherds  be  called  forth  against  him, 
he  will  not  be  dismayed  at  their  voice,  nor  abase 
himself  for  the  noise  of  them :  so  shall  the  Lord  of 
hosts  come  down  to   fight  'upon  mount  Zi'on,  and 

5  'upon  the  hill  thereof.  As  birds  flying,  so  will  the 
Lord  of  hosts  protect  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  he  will  protect 
and  deliver  it,  he   will  pass  over  and  preserve  it 

6  Turn  ye   unto  him   'from   whom   'ye    have   deeply 

7  revolted,  O  children  of  Is'ra-el.  For  in  that  day 
they  shall  cast  away  every  man  his  idols  of  silver, 
and  his  idols  of  gold,  which  your  own  hands  have 

8  made  unto  you  for  a  sin.  Then  shall  the  As-syr'i-an 
fall  with  the  sword,  not  of  man ;  and  the  sword, 
not  of  men,  shall  devour  him:  and  he  shall  flee 
from  the  sword,  and  his  young  men  shall   become 

9  tributary.  And  his  rock  shall  pass  away  by  reason 
of  terror,  and  his  princes  shall  be  dismayed  at  the 
ensign,  saith  the  Lord,  whose  fire  is  in  Zi'on,  and 
his  furnace  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

^^     Behold,  a  king  shall  reign  in  righteousness,  and 

2  princes  shall  rule  in  judgement.  And  a  man  shall 
be  as  an  hiding  place  from  the  wind,  and  a  covert 
from  the  tempest ;  as  rivers  of  water  in  a  dry  place, 

3  as  the  shadow  of  a  great  rock  in  a  weary  land.  And 
the  eyes  of  them  that  see  shall  not  be  '"dim,  and  the 

4  ears  of  them  that  hear  shall  hearken.  The  heart  also 
of  the  "rash  shall  understand  knowledge,  and  the 
tongue  of  the  stammerers  shall  be  ready  to  speak 

5  plainly.     The  '^vile  person  shall  be  no  more  called  '^lib- 

6  eral,nor  the  "churlsaid  to  be  bountiful.  For  the 'Vile 
person  will  speak  '"villany,  and  his  heart  will  work 
iniquity,  to  practice  profaneness,  and  to  utter  error 
against  the  Lord,  to  make  empty  the  soul  of  the 
hungry,  and  to  cause  the  drink  of  the  thirsty  to  feil.

7  The  instruments  also  of  the  churl  are  evil :  he  deviseth 
wicked  devices  to  destroy  the  poor  with  lying  words,  even 
II  when  the  needy  speaketh  right, 

8  But  the  liberal  deviseth  liberal  things;  and  by  liberal 
things  shall  he  jj  stand. 

9  %Rise  up,  ye  women  ''that  are  at  ease;  hear  my  voice, 
ye  careless  daughters;  give  ear  unto  my  speech. 

10  fMany  days  and  years  shall  ye  be  troubled,  ye  careless 
women ;  for  the  vintage  shall  fail,  the  gathering  shall  not  come. 

11  Tremble,  ye  women  that  are  at  ease;  be  troubled,  ye 
careless  ones :  strip  you,  and  make  you  bare,  and  gird  sack- 
cloth upon  your  loins. 

12  They  shall  lament  for  the  teats,  for  fthe  pleasant  fields, 
for  the  fruitful  vine. 

13  'Upon  the  land  of  my  people  shall  come  up  thorns  and 
briers:  ||  yea,  upon  all  the  houses  of  joy  in  -^the  joyous  city : 

14  "Because  the  palaces  shall  be  forsaken;  the  multitude 
of  the  city  shall  be  left;  the  ||  forts  and  towers  shall  be  for 
dens  for  ever,  a  joy  of  wild  asses,  a  pasture  of  flocks ; 

15  Until  *the  Spirit  be  poured  upon  us  from  on  high,  and 
'the  wilderness  be  a  fruitful  field,  and  the  fruitful  field  be 
counted  for  a  forest. 

16  Then  judgment  shall  dwell  in  the  wilderness,  and 
righteousness  remain  in  the  fruitful  field. 

17  *And  the  work  of  righteousness  shall  be  peace ;  and 
the  effect  of  righteousness,  quietness  and  assurance  for  ever. 

18  And  my  people  shall  dwell  in  a  peaceable  habitation, 
and  in  sure  dwellings,  and  in  quiet  resting  places ; 

19  'AVhen  it  shall  hail,  coming  down  "on  the  forest;  ||and 
the  city  shall  be  low  in  a  low  place. 

20  Blessed  are  ye  that  sow  beside  all  waters,  that  send 
forth  thither  the  feet  of  "the  ox  and  the  ass. 

CHAPTER  XXXIII. 

God^s  judgments  against  the  enemies  of  the  church. 

WOE  to  thee  "that  spoilest,  and  thou  was<  not  spoiled; 
and  dealest  treacherously,  and  they  dealt  not  treacher- 
ously with  thee  !  'when  thou  shalt  cease  to  spoil,  thou  shalt 
be  spoiled;  and  when  thou  shalt  make  an  end  to  deal 
treacherously,  they  shall  deal  treacherously  with  thee. 

2  O  Lord,  be  gracious  unto  us ;  'we  have  waited  for  thee  : 
be  thou  their  arm  every  morning,  our  salvation  also  in  the 
time  of  trouble. 

3  At  the  noise  of  the  tumult  the  people  fled ;  at  the  lift- 
ing up  of  thyself  the  nations  were  scattered. 

4  And  your  spoil  shall  be  gathered  like  the  gathering  of 
the  caterpillar:  as  the  running  to  and  fro  of  locusts  shall 
he  run  upon  them. 

5  ''The  Lord  is  exalted ;  for  he  dwelleth  on  high :  he  hath 
filled  Zi'on  with  judgment  and  righteousness. 

6  And  wisdom  and  knowledge  shall  be  the  stability  ot 
thy  times,  and  strength  of  fsalvation :  the  fear  of  the  Lord 
is  his  treasure. 

7  Behold,  their  ||  valiant  ones  shall  cry  without:  'the  am- 
bassadors of  peace  shall  weep  bitterly. 

8  ■TThe  highways  lie  waste,  the  wayfaring  man  ceaseth: 
"he  hath  broken  the  covenant,  he  hath  despised  the  cities, 
he  regardeth  no  man. 

9  *The  earth  mourneth  and  languisheth :  Leb'a-non  is 
ashamed  and  ||hewn  down:  Shar'on  is  like  a  wilderness; 
and  Ba'shan  and  Car'mel  shake  off  their  fruits. 

10  'Now  will  I  rise,  saith  the  Lord;  now  will  I  be  ex- 
alted ;  now  will  I  lift  up  myself. 

1 1  *Ye  shall  conceive  chaff,  ye  shall  bring  forth  stubble : 
your  breath,  as  fire,  shall  devour  you. 

12  And  the  people  shall  be  as  the  burnings  of  lime:  'as 
thorns  cut  up  shall  they  be  burned  in  the  fire. 

13  ilHear,  "ye  that  are  far  off,  what  I  have  done ;  and,  ye 
that  are  near,  acknowledge  my  might. 

14  The  sinners  in  Zi'on  are  afraid ;  fearfulness  hath  surprised 


7  The  instruments  ai30  of  the  churl  are  evil :  he  de- 
viseth wicked  devices  to  destroy  the  'meek  with 
lying  words,  even  when  the  needy  speaketh  right. 

8  But  the  liberal  deviseth  liberal  things ;  and  ^in  liberal 
things  shall  he  continue. 

9  Rise  up,  ye  women  that  are  at  ease,  and  hear  my 
voice;   ye    ^careless   daughters,   give   ear  unto   my 

10  speech.  ^For  days  beyond  a  year  shall  ye  be 
troubled,  ye  careless  women :    for  the  vintage  shall 

11  fail,  the  ingathering  shall  not  come.  Tremble,  ye 
women  that  are  at  ease;  be  troubled,  ye  careless 
ones:    strip  you,   and    make    you    bare,   and  'gird 

12  sackcloth  upon  your  loins.  They  shall  smite  upon 
the  breasts  for  the  pleasant  fields,  for  the    fruitful 

13  vine.  Upon  the  land  of  my  people  shall  come  up 
thorns  and   briers;  yea,  upon  all  the  houses  of  joy 

14  in  the  joyous  city :  for  the  palace  shall  be  forsaken ; 
the  populous  city  shall  be  deserted;  Hhe  hill  and 
the  watchtower  shall  be  for  dens  for  ever,  a  joy  of 

15  wild  a§ses,  a  pasture  of  flocks;  until  the  spirit  be 
poured  upon  us  from  on  high,  and  the  wilderness 
become  a  fruitful   field,   and  the   fruitful  field    be 

16  counted  for  a  forest.  Then  judgement  shall 
dwell   in   the  wilderness,    and  righteousness    shall 

17  abide  in  the  fruitful  field.  And  the  work  of  right- 
eousness   shall  be  peace;   and  the    effect  of  right- 

18eousness  quietness  and  confidence  for  ever.  And 
my  people  shall  abide  in  a  peaceable  habitation, 
and  in  sure    dwellings,  and  in  quiet  resting  places. 

19  But  it  shall  hail,  in  the  downfall  of  the  forest;  and 

20  the  city  shall  be  utterly  laid  low.  Blessed  are  ye 
that  sow  beside  all  waters,  that  send  forth  the  feet  of 
the  ox  and  the  ass. 

00  Woe  to  thee  that  spoilest,  and  thou  wast  not 
spoiled ;  and  dealest  treacherously,  and  they  dealt 
not  treacherously  with  thee !  When  thou  hast  ceased 
to  spoil,  thou  shalt  be  spoiled;  and  when  thou  hast 
made  an  end  to  deal  treacherously,  they  shall  deal 

2  treacherously  with  thee.  O  Lord,  be  gracious  unto 
us;  we  have  waited  for  thee:  be  thou  their  arm 
every  morning,  our  salvation   also   in  the  time  of 

3  trouble.  '  At  the  noise  of  the  tumult  the  peoples  are 
fled;  at  the  lifting    up  of   thyself  the    nations   are 

4  scattered.  And  your  spoil  shall  be  gathered  as  the 
caterpiller  gathereth :   as  locust  leap  shall  they  leap 

5  upon  it.  The  Lord  is  exalted ;  for  he  dwelleth  on 
high  :  he  hath  filled  Zi'on  with  judgement  and  right- 

6  eousness.  ''And  there  shall  be  stability  in  thy  times, 
abundance  of  salvation,  wisdom  and  knowledge :  the 
fear  of  the  Lord  is  his  treasure. 

7  Behold,   their  valiant  ones  cry  without:  the  am- 
Sbassadors  of  peace  weep  bitterly.     The  high  ways 

lie  waste,  the  wayfaring  man  ceaseth:  he  hath  bro- 
ken the  covenant,  he  hath  despised  the  cities,  he  re- 
9gardeth  not  man.  The  land  mourneth  and  lan- 
guisheth: Leb'a-non  is  ashamed  and  withereth 
away :  Shar'on  is  like  *a  desert ;  and  Ba'shan  and 
lOCarmel  shake  off  their  leaves.  Now  will  I  arise, 
saith  the    Lord;  now    will  I  lift  up  myself;    now 

11  will  I  be  exalted.  Ye  shall  conceive  chaff,  ye  shall 
bring  forth  stubble :  your  breath  is  a  fire  that  shall 

12  devour  you.  And  the  peoples  shall  be  as  the  burn- 
ings of  lime:  as  thorns  cut  down,  that  are  burned 
in  the  fire. 

13  Hear,  ye  that  are  far  off,  what  I  have  done;  and, 

14  ye  that  are  near,  acknowledge  my  might.  The  sin- 
ners in  Zi'on  are  afraid;  trembling  hath  surprised

the  hypocrites.  Who  among  us  shall  dwell  with  the  devouring 
fire?  who  among  us  shall  dwell  with  everlasting  burnings? 

15  He  that  "walketh  frighteously,  and  speaketh  fuprightly ; 
he  that  despiseth  the  gain  of  ||  oppressions,  that  shaketh  his 
hands  from  holding  of  bribes,  that  stoppeth  his  ears  from 
hearing  of  fblood,  and  "shutteth  his  eyes  from  seeing  evil ; 

16  He  shall  dwell  on  ftigh;  h's  place  of  defence  shall  be 
the  munitions  of  rocks :  bread  shall  be  given  him ;  his 
waters  shall  be  sure. 

17  Thine  eyes  shall  see  the  King  in  his  beauty:  they  shall 
behold  tthe  land  that  is  very  far  off. 

18  Thine  heart  shall  meditate  terror.  ''Where  is  the 
scribe?  where  is  the  fr^ceiver?  where  is  he  Shat  counted 
the  towers? 

19  «Thou  shalt  not  see  a  fierce  people,  'a  people  of  a 
deeper  speech  than  thou  canst  perceive;  of  a  || stammering 
tongue,  that  thou  canst  not  understand. 

20  'Look  upon  Zi'on,  the  city  of  our  solemnities :  thine 
eyes  shall  see  'Je-ru'sa-lem  a  quiet  habitation,  a  tabernacle 
that  shall  not  be  taken  down;  "not  one  of  "'the  stakes 
thereof  shall  ever  be  removed,  neither  shall  any  of  the 
cords  thereof  be  broken. 

21  But  there  the  glorious  Lord  loill  be  unto  us  a  place 
fof  broad  rivers  and  streams ;  wherein  shall  go  no  galley 
with  oars,  neither  shall  gallant  ship  pass  thereby. 

22  For  the  Lord  is  our  judge,  the  Lord  is  our  "flaw- 
giver,  "the  Lord  is  our  King ;  he  will  save  us. 

23  II Thy  tacklings  are  loosed;  they  could  not  well 
strengthen  their  mast ;  they  could  not  spread  the  sail :  then 
is  the  prey  of  a  great  spoil  divided ;  the  lame  take  the  prey. 

24  And  the  inhabitant  shall  not  say,  I  am  sick :  "the 
people  that  dwell  therein  shall  be  forgiven  their  iniquity. 

CHAPTER   XXXIV. 

T^e judgments  wherewith  God  revengeth  his  church, 

"/^OME  near,  ye  nations,  to  hear,  and  hearken,  ye  people : 
yj  'let  the  earth  hear,  and  fall  that  is  therein;  the  world, 
and  all  things  that  come  forth  of  it. 

2  For  the  indignation  of  the  Lord  is  upon  all  nations, 
and  his  fury  upon  all  their  armies:  he  hath  utterly  de- 
stroyed them,  he  hath  delivered  them  to  the  slaughter. 

3  Their  slain  also  shall  be  cast  out,  and  1,heir  stink  shall 
come  up  out  of  their  carcasses,  and  the  mountains  shall  be 
melted  with  their  blood. 

4  And  ''all  the  host  of  heaven  shall  be  dissolved,  and  the 
heavens  shall  be  'rolled  together  as  a  scroll :  -^and  all  their 
hosts  shall  fall  down,  as  the  leaf  felleth  off  from  the  vine, 
and  as  a  "falling  jig  from  the  fig  tree. 

5  For  *my  sword  shall  be  bathed  in  heaven:  behold,  it 
'shall  come  down  upon  I-du-me'a,  and  upon  the  people  of 
my  curse,  to  judgment. 

6  The  sword  of  the  Lord  is  filled  with  blood.,  it  is  made 
fat  with  fatness,  and  with  the  blood  of  lambs  and  goats,  with 
the  fat  of  the  kidneys  of  rams :  for  *the  Lord  hath  a  sacri- 
fice in  Boz'rah,  and  a  great  slaughter  in  the  land  of  I-du-me'a. 

7  And  the  ||  unicorns  shall  come  down  with  them,  and  the 
bullocks  with  the  bulls;  and  their  land  shall  be  || soaked 
with  blood,  and  their  dust  made  fat  with  fatness. 

8  For  it  is  the  day  of  the  Lord's  'vengeance,  and  the  year 
of  recompenses  for  the  controversy  of  Zi'on. 

9  "And  the  streams  thereof  shall  be  turned  into  pitch, 
and  the  dust  thereof  into  brimstone,  and  the  land  thereof 
shall  become  burning  pitch. 

10  It  shall  not  be  quenched  night  nor  day;  "the  smoke 
thereof  shall  go  up  for  ever :  "from  generation  to  generation  it 
shall  lie  waste ;  none  shall  pass  through  it  for  ever  and  ever. 

11  ^"But  the  II cormorant  and  the  bittern  shall  possess  it; 
the  owl  also  and  the  raven  shall  dwell  in  it:  ana  «he  shall 
stretch  out  upon  it  the  line  of  confusion,  and  the  stones  of 
emptiness. 


the  godless  ones.  Who  among  us  shall  dwell  with 
the  devouring  fire?  who  among  us  shall  dwell  with 

15 everlasting  burnings?  He  that  walketh  righteously, 
and  speakoth  uprightly;  he  that  despiseth  the  gain 
of  'oppressions,  that  shaketh  his  hands  from  holding 
of  bribes,  that  stoppeth  his  ears  from  hearing  of 
blood,  and  shutteth  his  eyes  from  looking  upon  evil ; 

16  he  shall  dwell  on  high :  his  place  of  defence  shall 
be  the  munitions  of  rocks :  his  bread  shall  be  given 

11  him;  his  waters  shall  be  sure.  Thine  eyes  shall 
see  the  king  in  his  beauty :  they  shall  behold  ^a  far 

18  stretching  land.  Thine  heart  shall  muse  on  the 
terror:  where  is  ^he  that  counted,  where  is  he 
that  weighed  the  tribute  f  where  is  he  that  counted 

19  the  towers?  Thou  shalt  not  see  the  fierce  people, 
a  people  of  a  deep  speech  that  thou  canst  not  per- 
ceive;   of  a  ^strange   tongue  that  thou  canst    not 

20  understand.  Look  upon  Zi'on,  the  city  of  our 
'solemnities:  thine  eyes  shall  see  Je-ru'sa-lem  a 
quiet  habitation,  a  tent  that  shall  not  be  removed, 
the  stakes  whereof  shall  never  bj  plucked  up, 
neither  shall   any   of  the  cords  thereof  be  broken. 

21  But  there  the  Lord  will  be  with  us  in  majesty,  *a 
place  of  broad  rivers  and  streains;  wherein  shall 
go   no   galley   with  oars,  neither  shall  gallant  ship 

22  pass  thereby.  For  the  Lord  is  our  judge,  the  Lord 
is    our    lawgiver,    the    IjORD    is  our  king;  he  will 

23  save  us.  Tny  tacklings  are  loosed ;  they  could  not 
strengthen  the  foot  of  their  mast,  they  could  not 
spread  the  sail :  then  was  the  prey  of  a  great  spoil 

24  divided ;  the  lame  took  the  prey.  And  the  inhab- 
itant shall  not  say,  I  am  sick :  the  people  that  dwell 
therein  shall  be  forgiven  their  iniquity. 

^^  Come  near,  ye  nations,  to  hear;  and  hearken, 
ye  peoples:  let  the  earth  hear,  and  the  fulness 
thereof;  the  world,  and  all  things  that  come  forth 

2  of  it.  For  the  Lord  hath  indignation  against  all 
the  nations,  and  fury  against  all  their  host:  he  hath 
'utterly  destroyed  them,  he  hath  delivered  them  to 

3  the  slaughter.  Their  slain  also  shall  be  cast  out, 
and  the  stink  of  their  carcases  shall  come  up,  and 
the   mountains  shall  be  melted   with  their  blood. 

4  And  all  tht  host  of  heaven  shall  'be  dissolved,  and 
the  heavens  rhall  be  rol'ed  together  as  a  scroll : 
and  all  their  h>.3t  shall  ^ade  away,  as  the  leaf  fadeth 
from  off  the  vine    vn  i  as  a  fading  leaf  from  the  fig 

5  tree.  For  my  swoid  hath  drunk  its  fill  in  heaven : 
behold,  it  shall  come  down  upon  E'dom,  and  upon 

6  the  people  of  my  'curse,  to  judgement.  The  sword 
of  the  Lord  is  filled  with  blood,  it  is  made  fat  with 
fatness,  with  the  blood  of  lambs  and  goats,  with  the 
fat  of  the  kidneys  of  rams:  for  the  Lord  hath  a 
sacrifice   in   Boz'rah,  and  a   great  slaughter  in  the 

7  land  of  E'dom.  And  the  wild-oxen  shall  come 
down  with  them,  and  the  bullocks  with  the  bulls; 
and   their   land  shall  be   drunken   with  blood,  and 

8  their  dust  made  fat  with  fatness.  For  it  is  the  day  of 
the  Lord's  vengeance,  the  year  of  recompence  in  the 

9  controversy  of  Zi'on.  And  the  streams  thereof  shall 
be  turned  into  pitch,  and  the  dust  thereof  into  brim- 
stone, and  the  land  thereof  shall    become   burning 

10 pitch.  It  shall  not  be  quenched  night  nor  day;  the 
smoke  thereof  shall  go  up  for  ever:  from  generation  to 
generation  it  shall  lie  waste ;  none  shall  pass  through 

11  it  for  ever  and  ever.  But  the  pelican  and  the  porcu- 
pine shall  possess  it;  and  the  '"owl  and  the  raven 
shall  dwell  therein :  and  he  shall  stretch  over  it  the 
line  of  confusion,  and  the  "plummet  of  emptiness.

12  They  shall  call  the  nobles  thereof  to  the  kingdom,  but

13  And  ''thorns  shall  come  up  in  her  palaces,  nettles  and 
brambles  in  the  fortresses  thereof:  and  'it  shall  be  a  habi-

14  fThe  wild  beasts  of  the  desert  shall  also  meet  with 
fthe  wild  beasts  of  the  island,  and  the  satyr  shall  cry  to  his 
fellow;  the  || screech  owl  also  shall  rest  there,  and  find  for 
herself  a  place  of  rest. 

15  There  shall  the  great  owl  make  her  nest,  and  lay,  and 
hatch,  and  gather  under  her  shadow :  there  shall  the  vul- 
tures also  be  gathered,  every  one  with  her  mate. 

16  ^Seek  ye  out  of  the  book  of  the  Lord,  and  read:  no 
one  of  these  shall  fail,  none  shall  want  her  mate :  for  my 
mouth,  it  hath  commanded,  and  his  spirit,  it  hath  gathered 
them. 

17  And  he  hath  cast  the  lot  for  them,  and  his  hand  hath 
divided  it  unto  them  by  line :  they  shall  possess  it  for  ever, 
from  generation  to  generation  shall  they  dwell  therein. 

CHAPTER    XXXV. 

The  joyful  flourishing  of  Christ's  kingdom. 

THE  "wilderness  and  the  solitary  place  shall  be  glad  for 
them;  and  the  desert  shall  rejoice,and  blossom  as  the  rose. 

2  'It  shall  blossom  abundantly,  and  rejoice,  even  with  joy 
and  singing :  the  glory  of  Leb'a-non  shall  be  given  unto  it, 
the  excellency  of  Car'mel  and  Shar'on ;  they  shall  see  the 
glory  of  the  Lord,  and  the  excellency  of  our  God. 

3  iy^Strengthen  ye  the  weak  hands  and  confirm  the  feeble 
knees. 

4  Say  to  them  thai  are  of  a  ffearfiil  heart,  Be  strong,  fear 
not :  behold,  your  God  will  come  with  vengeance,  even  God, 
loith  a  recompense ;  he  will  come  and  save  you. 

5  Then  the  ''eyes  of  the  blind  shall  be  opened,  and  'the 
ears  of  the  deaf  shall  be  unstopped. 

6  Then  shall  the  -^ame  man  leap  as  a  hart,  and  the

CHAPTER    XXXVI. 

Sennacherib  invadeth  Judah. 

"VTOW  "it  came  to  pass  in  the  fourteenth  year  of  king 
-Ll  Hez-e-ki'ah,  that  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  came 
up  against  all  the  defenced  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  took  them. 

2  And  the  kingof  As-syr'i-a  sent  Rab'sha-keh  from  La'chish 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  with  a  great  army. 
And  he  stood  by  the  conduit  of  the  upper  pool  in  the  high- 
way of  the  fuller's  field. 

3  Then  came  forth  unto  him,  E-li'a-kim,  Hil-ki'ah's  son, 
which  wa«  over  the  house,  and  Sheb'na  the  ||  scribe,  and 
Jo'ah,  A'saph's  son,  the  recorder. 

4  ^""And  Rab'sha-keh  said  unto  them,  Say  ye  now  to 
Hez-e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the  great  king,  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a, 
What  confidence  i«  this  wherein  thou  trustest? 

5  I  say,  say  est  them,  (but  they  are  but  fvain  words)  ||/Aa«e 
counsel  and  strength  for  war:  now  on  whom  dost  thou 
trust,  that  thou  rebellest  against  me? 


12 'They  shall  call  the  nobles  thereof  to  the  kingdom, 
but  none  shall  be  there;  and  all  her  princes  shall 

13  be  nothing.  And  thorns  shall  come  up  in  her  pal- 
aces, nettles  and  thistles  in  the  fortresses  thereof: 
and  it  shall  be  an  habitation  of  jackals,  a  court  for 

14  ostriches.  And  the  wild  beasts  of  the  desert  shall 
meet  with  the  ^wolves,  and  the  ^satyr  shall  cry  to  his 
fellow;  yea,  Hhe  night^monster  shall    settle    there, 

15  and  shall  find  her  a  place  of  rest.  There  shall  the 
arrowsnake  make  her  nest,  and  lay,  and  hatch,  and 
gather  under  her  shadow ;  yea,  there  shall  the  kites 

16  be  gathered,  every  one  with  her  mate.  Seek  ye  out 
of  the  book  of  the  Lord,  and  read :  no  one  of  these 
shall  be  missing,  none  shall  want  her  mate :  for  my 
mouth  it  hath  commanded,  and  his  spirit  it   hath 

17  gathered  them.     And  he  hath  cast  the  lot  for  them 
and  his  hand   hath  divided  it  unto  them  by  line 
they  shall  possess  it   for  ever,  from  generation  to 
generation  shall  they  dwell  therein. 

OO  The  wilderness  and  the  'solitary  place  shall  be 
glad;  and  the  desert  shall  rejoice,  and  blossom  as 

2  the  *rose.  It  shall  blossom  abundantly,  and  rejoice 
even  with  joy  and  singing ;  the  glory  of  Leb'a-non 
shall  be  given  unto  it,  the  excellency  of  Car'mel  and 
Shar'on ;  they  shall  see  the  glory  of  the  Lord,  the 
excellency  of  our  God. 

3  Strengthen  ye  the  weak  hands,  and  confirm  the 
4 'feeble  knees.     Say  to   them  that  are  of  a  'fearful 

heart,  Be   strong,  fear  not :  'behold,  your  God  will 

come  with  vengeance,  with  the  recompence  of  God ; 

6  he  will  come  and  save  you.     Then  the  eyes  of  the 

blind  shall  be  opened,  and  the  ears  of  the  deaf  shall 

6  be  unstopped.  Then  shall  the  lame  man  leap  as  an 
hart,  and  the  tongue  of  the  dumb  shall  sing :  for  in 
the  wilderness  shall  waters  break  out,  and  streams 

7  in  the  desert.  And  the  '"glowing  sand  shall  become 
a  pool,  and  the  thirsty  ground  springs  of  water :  in 
the  habitation  of  jackals,  where  they  lay,  shall  be 

8  "grass  with  reeds  and  rushes.  And  an  high  way 
shall  be  there,  and  a  way,  and  it  shall  be  called  The 
way  of  holiness ;  'the  unclean  shall  not  pass  over  it ; 
'^but  it  shall  be  for  those :  the  wayfaring  men,  yea 

9  fools,  shall  not  err  therein.  No  lion  shall  be  there, 
nor  shall  any  ravenous  beast  go  up  thereon,  they 
shall  not  be  found  there ;  but  the  redeemed  shall 

10 walk  there:  and  the  ransomed  of  the  Lord  shall 
return,  and  come  with  singing  unto  Zi'on ;  and  ever- 
lasting joy  shall  be  upon  their  heads  :  they  shall 
obtain  gladness  and  joy,  and  sorrow  and  sighing 
shall  flee  away.

6  Lo,  thou  trusteat  in  the  "staff  of  his  broken  reed,  on 
E'gypt ;  whereon  if  a  man  lean,  it  will  go  into  his  hand, 
and  pierce  it :  so  is  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  to  all  that  trust 
iu  him. 

7  But  if  thou  say  to  me.  We  trust  in  the  Lord  our  God : 
is  it  not  he,  whose  high  places  and  whose  altars  Hez-e-ki'ah 
hath  taken  away,  and  said  to  Ju'dah  and  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Ye 
shall  worship  before  this  altar? 

8  Now  therefore  give  1|  pledges,  I  pray  thee,  to  my  master 
the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  I  will  give  thee  two  thousand 
horses,  if  thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to  set  riders  upon  them. 

9  How  then  wilt  thou  turn  away  the  face  of  one  captain 
of  the  least  of  my  master's  servants,  and  put  thy  trust  on 
E'gypt  for  chariots  and  for  horsemen  ? 

10  And  am  I  now  come  up  without  the  Lord  against 
this  land  to  destroy  it?  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Go  up 
against  this  land,  and  destroy  it. 

11  ^Then  said  E-li'a-kim  and  Sheb'na  and  Jo'ah  unto 
Rab'sha-keh,  Speak,  I  pray  thee,  unto  thy  servants  in  the 
Syr'i-an  language ;  for  we  understand  it :  and  speak  not  to 
us  in  the  Jews'  language,  in  the  ears  of  the  people  that  are 
on  the  wall. 

12  •^But  Rab'sha-keh  said.  Hath  my  master  sent  me  to 
thy  master  and  to  thee  to  speak  these  words?  hath  he  not 
sent  me  to  the  men  that  sit  upon  the  wall  that  they  may 
eat  their  own  dung,  and  drink  their  own  piss  with  you? 

13  Then  Rab'sha-keh  stood,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice  in 
the  Jews'  language  and  said.  Hear  ye  the  words  of  the 
great  king,  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

14  Thus  saith  the  king,  Let  not  Hez-e-ki'ah  deceive  you : 
for  he  shall  not  be  able  to  deliver  you. 

15  Neither  let  Hez-e-ki'ah  make  you  trust  in  the  Lord, 
.saying,  The  Lord  will  surely  deliver  us :  this  city  shall  not 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

16  Hearken  not  to  Hez-e-ki'ah:  for  thus  saith  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  ||  fMake  an  agreement  with  me  by  a  present,  and 
come  out  to  me :  ''and  eat  ye  every  one  of  his  vine,  and 
every  one  of  his  fig  tree,  and  drink  ye  every  one  the  waters 
of  his  own  cistern ; 

17  Until  I  come  and  take  you  away  to  a  land  like  your  own 
land,  a  land  of  corn  and  wine,  a  land  of  bread  and  vineyards. 

18  Beware  lest  Hez-e-ki'ah  persuade  you,  saying.  The 
Lord  will  deliver  us.  Hath  any  of  the  gods  of  the  nations 
delivered  his  land  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  ? 

19  Where  are  the  gods  of  Ha' math  and  Ar'phad?  where 
are  the  gods  of  Seph-ar-va'im  .^  and  have  they  delivered 
Sa-ma'ri-a  out  of  my  hand? 

20  Who  are  they  among  all  the  gods  of  these  lands,  that 
have  delivered  their  land  out  of  my  hand,  that  the  Lord 
should  deliver  Je-ru'sa-lem  out  of  my  hand  ? 

21  But  they  held  their  peace,  and  answered  him  not  a  word : 
for  the  king's  commandment  was,  saying.  Answer  him  not. 

22  ^Then  came  E-li'a-kim,  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  that  was 
over  the  household,  and  Sheb'na  the  scribe,  and  Jo'ah,  the 
son  of  A'saph,  the  recorder,  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  with  their  clothes 
rent,  and  told  him  the  words  of  Rab'sha-keh. 

CHAPTER    XXXVII. 

Hezekiah  sendeth  to  Isaiah  ;  an  angel  slayeth  the  Assyrians. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass,  when  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  heard  it, 
that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  covered  himself  with  sack- 
cloth, and  went  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

2  And  he  sent  E-li'a-kim,  who  was  over  the  household,  and 
Sheb'na  the  scribe,  and  the  elders  of  the  priests,  covered, 
with  .sackcloth,  unto  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  the  son  of  A'moz. 

.3  And  they  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  Hez-e-ki'ah,  This 
day  w  a  day  of  trouble,  and  of  rebuke,  and  of  ||  blasphemy : 
for  the  children  are  come  to  the  birth,  and  there  is  not 
strength  to  bring  forth. 

4  It  may  be  the  Lord  thy  God  will  hear  the  words  of 


6  Behold,  thou  trustest  upon  the  staff  of  this  bruised 
reed,  even  upon  E'gypt;  whereon  if  a  man  lean,  it 
will  go  into  his  hand,  and  pierce  it:  so  is  Pha'raoh 

7  king  of  E'gypt  to  all  that  trust  on  him.  But  if  thou 
say  unto  me.  We  trust  in  the  Lord  our  God:  is 
not  that  he,  whose  high  places  and  whose  altars 
Hez-e-ki'ah  hath  taken  away,  and  hath  said  to  Ju'dah 
and  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Ye  shall  worship  before  this  altar? 

8  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  'give  pledges  to  my 
master  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  I  will  give  thee 
two  thousand  horses,  if  thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to 

9  set  riders  upon  them.  How  then  canst  thou  turn 
away  the  face  of  one  captain  of  the  least  of  my 
master's  servants,  and  put  thy  trust  on  E'gypt  for 

10 chariots  and  for  horsemen?  And  am  I  now  come 
up  without  the  Lord  against  this  land  to  destroy 
it?    The  Lord  said  unto   me.  Go  up  against  this 

11  land,  and  destroy  it.  Then  said  E-li'a-kim  and 
Sheb'na  and  Jo'ah  unto  Rab'sha-keh,  Speak,  I  pray 
thee,  unto  thy  servants  in  the  ^Syr'i-an  language; 
for  we  understand  it :  and  speak  not  to  us  in  the 
Jews'  language,  in  the  ears  of  the  people  that  are  on 

12  the  wall.  But  Rab'sha-keh  said.  Hath  my  master 
sent  me  to  thy  master,  and  to  thee,  to  ?peak  these 
words?  hath  he  not  sent  me  to  the  men  that  sit 
upon  the  wall,  to  eat  their  own  dung,  and  to  drink 

13  their  own  water  with  you  ?  Then  Rab'sha-heh  stood, 
and  cried  with  a  loud  voice  in  the  Jews'  language, 
and  said,  Hear  ye  the  words  of  the  great  king,  the 

14  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  Thus  saith  the  king.  Let  not 
Hez-e-ki'ah  deceive  you ;  for  he  shall  not  be  able  to 

15  deliver  you  :  neither  let  Hez-e-ki'ah  make  you  trust 
in  the  Lord,  saying.  The  Lord  will  surely  deliver 
us ;  this  city  shall  not  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the 

16  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  Hearken  not  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  53rthus 
saith  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a,  'Make  your  peace  with 
me,  and  come  out  to  me ;  and  eat  ye  every  one  of 
his  vine,  and  every  one  of  his  fig  tree,  and  drink  ye 

17 every  one  the  waters  of  his  own  cistern:  until  I 
come  and  take  you  away  to  a  land  like  your  own 
land,  a  land  of  com  and  wine,  a  land  of  bread  and 

18  vineyards.  Beware  lest  Hez-e-ki'ah  persuade  you, 
saying,  The  Lord  will  deliver  us.  Hath  any  of 
the  gods  of  the  nations  delivered  his  land  out  of  the 

19  hand  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a?  Where  are  the  gods 
of  Ha'math  and  Ar'pad  ?  where  are  the  'gods  of 
Seph-ar-va'im?  and  have  they  delivered  Sa-ma'ri-a  out 

20 of  my  hand?  Who  are  they  among  all  the  gods  of 
these  countries,  that  have  delivered  their  country 
out   of   my   hand,   that  the   Lord   should   deliver 

21  Je-ru'sa-lem  out  of  my  hand?  But  they  held  their 
peace,  and  answered  him  not  a  word  :  for  the  king's 

22  commandment  was,  saying,  Answer  him  not.  Then 
came  E-li'a-kim  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  that  was  over  the 
household,  and  Sheb'na  the  scribe,  and  Jo'ah  the 
son  of  A'saph  the  recorder,  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  with  theii 
clothes  rent,  and  told  him  the  words  of  Rab'sha-keh. 

V  /  *  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  heard 
it,  that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  covered  himself  with

Rab'sha-keh,  whom  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  his  master  hath 
sent  to  reproach  the  living  God,  and  will  reprove  the  words 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  heard :  wherefore  lift  up  thy 
prayer  for  the  remnant  that  is  fleft. 

5  So  the  servants  of  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  came  to  I-sa'iah. 

6  ^And  I-sa'iah  said  unto  them,  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto 
your  master,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be  not  afraid  of  the 
words  that  thou  hast  heard,  wherewith  the  servants  of  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a  have  blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  I  will  Ijsend  a  blast  upon  him,  and  he  shall 
hear  a  rumour,  and  return  to  his  own  land ;  and  I  will  cause 
him  to  fall  by  the  sword  in  his  own  land. 

8  ^So  Rab'sha-keh  returned,  and  found  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a  warring  against  Lib'nah:  for  he  had  heard  that 
he  was  departed  from  La'chish. 

9  And  he  heard  say  concerning  Tir'ha-kah  king  of 
E-thi-o'pi-a,  He  is  come  forth  to  make  war  with  thee.  And 
when  he  heard  it,  he  sent  messengers  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  saying, 

10  Thus  shall  ye  speak  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  say- 
ing, Let  not  thy  God  in  whom  thou  trustest,  deceive  thee, 
saying,  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  not  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  As-syr'i-a. 

11  Behold,  thou  hast  heard  what  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a 
have  done  to  all  lands  by  destroying  them  utterly;  and 
shalt  thou  be  delivered? 

12  Have  the  gods  of  the  nations  delivered  them  which 
my  fethers  have  destroyed,  as  Go'zan,  and  Ha'ran,  and 
Re'zeph,and  the  children  of  E'den  which  were  in  Te-las'sar? 

13  Where  is  the  king  of  ''Ha'math,  and  the  king  of 
Ar'phad,  and  the  king  of  the  city  of  Seph-ar-va'im,  He'na, 
and  I'vah? 

14  ^And  Hez-e-ki'ah  received  the  letter  from  the  hand  of 
the  messengers,  and  read  it :  and  Hez-e-ki'ah  went  up  unto 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  spread  it  before  the  Lord. 

15  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  prayed  unto  the  Lord,  saying, 

16  O  Lord  of  hosts,  God  of  Is'ra-el,  that  dwellest  between 
the  cherubim,  thou  art  the  God,  even  thou  alone,  of  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  earth;  thou  hast  made  heaven  and  earth. 

17  "Incline  thine  ear,  O  Lord,  and  hear:  open  thine  eyes, 
O  Lord,  and  see:  and  hear  all  the  words  of  Sen-nach'e-rib, 
which  hath  sent  to  reproach  the  living  God. 

18  Of  a  truth,  Lord,  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a  have  laid 
waste  all  the  fnations,  and  their  countries. 

19  And  have  feast  their  gods  into  the  fire;  for  they  were 
no  gods,  but  the  work  of  men's  hands,  wood  and  stone : 
therefore  they  have  destroyed  them. 

20  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  our  God,  save  us  from  his 
hand,  that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  may  know  that 
thou  art  the  Lord,  even  thou  only. 

21  ^Then  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz  sent  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah, 
saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Whereas  thou 
hast  prayed  to  me  against  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a: 

22  This  is  the  word  which  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
concerning  him;  The  virgin,  the  daughter  of  Zi'on,  hath 
despised  thee,  and  laughed  thee  to  scorn ;  the  daughter  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  hath  shaken  her  head  at  thee. 

23  Whom  hast  thou  reproached  and  blasphemed?  and 
against  whom  hast  thou  exalted  thy  voice,  and  lifted  up 
thine  eyes  on  high?  even  against  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  fBy  thy  servants  hast  thou  reproached  the  Lord,  and 
hast  sail,  By  the  multitude  of  my  chariots  am  I  come  up 
to  the  height  of  the  mountains,  to  the  sides  of  Leb'a-non ; 
and  I  will  cut  down  fthe  tall  cedars  thereof,  and  the  choice 
fir  trees  thereof:  and  I  will  enter  into  the  height  of  his 
border,  and  ||the  forest  of  his  Car'mel. 

25  I  have  digged  and  drunk  water;  and  with  the  sole  of 
my  feet  have  I  dried  up  all  the  rivers  of  the  |  [besieged  places. 

26  II  Hast  tnou  not  heard  long  ago,  how  I  have  done 
it;   and  of  ancient  times,  that   I  nave   formed  it?   now 


Rab'sha-keh,  'whom  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  his  master 
hath  .sent  to  reproach  the  living  God,  and  will  re- 
buke the  words  which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
heard :  wherefore  lift  up  thy  prayer  for  the  remnant 

5  that  is  left.     So  the  servants  of  king  Hez-e-ki'ah  came 

6  to  I-sa'iah.  And  I-sa'iah  said  unto  them.  Thus  shall 
ye  say  to  your  master.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be  not 
afraid  of  the  words  that  thou  hast  heard,where  with  the 
servants  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a  have  blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  I  will  put  a  spirit  in  him,  and  he  shall  hear  a 
rumour,  and  shall  return  unto  his  own  land;  and  I 
will  cause  him  to  fall  by  the  sword  in  his  own  land. 

8  So  Rab'sha-keh  returned,  and  found  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a  warring  against  Lib'nah  :  for  he  had  heard 

9  that  he  was  departed  from  La'chish.  And  he  heard 
say  concerning  Tir'ha-kah  king  of  E-thi-o'pi-a,  He  is 
come  out  to  fight  against  thee.     And  when  he  heard 

10  it,  he  sent  messengers  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  saying.  Thus 
shall  ye  speak  to  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  saying. 
Let  not  thy  God  in  whom  thou  trustest  deceive  thee, 
saying,  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  not  be  given  into  the  hand 

11  of  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  Behold,  thou  hast  heard 
what  the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a  have  done  to  all  lands, 
by  ^destroying  them  utterly :  and  shalt  thou  be  de- 

12  livered?  Have  the  gods  of  the  nations  delivered  them, 
which  my  fathers  have  destroyed,  Go'zan,  and  Ha'- 
ran, and  Re'zeph,  and  the  children  of  E'den  which 

13  were  in  Te-las  sar  ?  Where  is  the  king  of  Ha'math, 
and  the  king  of  Ar'pad,  and  the  king  of  the  city  of 

14  Seph-ar-va'im,  of  He'na,  and  'Iv'vah  ?  And  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  received  the  letter  from  the  hand  of  the  mes- 
sengers, and  read  it:  and  Hez-e-ki'ah  went* up  unto 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  spread  it  before  the 

15  Lord.     And  Hez-e-ki'ah  prayed  unto  the  Lord,  say 
16ing,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  that  *sit- 

test  upon  the  cherubim,  thou  art  the  God,  even 
thou  alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth ;  thou 

17  hast  made  heaven  and  earth.  Incline  thine  ear,  O 
Lord,  and  hear ;  open  thine  eyes,  O  Lord,  and  see : 
and  hear  all  the  words  of  Sen-nach'e-rib,which  hath 

18  sent  to  reproach  the  living  God.  Of  a  truth.  Lord, 
the  kings  of  As-syr'i-a  have  laid  waste  all  the  conn 

19  tries,  and  their  land,  and  have  cast  their  gods  into 
the  fire:  for  they  were  no  gods,  but  the  work  of 
men's  hands,  wood  and  stone;  therefore  they  have  de- 

20  stroyed  them.  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  our  God,  save 
us  from  his  hand,  that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth 
may  know  that  thou  art  the  Lord,  even  thou  only. 

21  Then  I-sa'iah  the  son  of  A'moz  sent  unto  Hez-e-ki'ah, 
saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
Whereas  thou  hast  prayed  to  me  against  Sen-nach'- 

22e-rib  king  of  As-syri-a,  this  is  the  word  which  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  concerning  him :  The  virgin 
daughter  of  Zi  on  hath  despised  thee  and  laughed  thee 
to  scorn ;  the  daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  hath  shaken 

23  her  head  'at  thee.  Whom  hast  thou  reproached 
and  bla>;phemed?  and  against  whom  hast  thou  ex- 
alted thy  voice  and  lifted  up  thine  eyes  on  high? 

24€i>en  against  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el.  By  thy  serv- 
ants hast  thou  reproached  the  Lord,  and  hast  said. 
With  the  multitude  of  my  chariots  am  I  come  up  to 
the  height  of  the  mountains,  to  the  innermost  parts 
of  Leb'a-non ;  and  I  will  cut  down  the  tall  cedars 
thereof,  and  the  choice  'fir  trees  thereof:  and  I  will 
enter  into  his  farthest  height,  the  forest  of  his  fruit- 

25  ful  field.  I  have  digged  and  drunk  water,  and  with 
the  sole  of  my  feet  will  I  dry  up  all  the  rivers  of 

26'E'gypt.  Hast  thou  not  heard  how  I  have  done  it 
long   ago,   and   formed   it  of  ancient  times?  now

have  I  brought  it  to  pass,  that  thou  shouldest  be  to  lay 
waste  defenced  cities  into  ruinous  heaps. 

27  Therefore  their  inhabitants  were  f  of  small  power,  they 
were  dismayed  and  confounded :  they  were  as  the  grass  of 
the  field,  and  as  the  green  herb,  as  the  grass  on  the  house- 
tops, and  as  corn  blasted  before  it  be  grown  up. 

28  But  I  know  thy  ||  abode,  and  thy  going  out,  and  thy 
coming  in,  and  thy  rage  against  me. 

29  Because  thy  rage  against  me,  and  thy  tumult,  is  come 
up  into  mine  ears,  therefore  ''will  I  put  my  hook  in  thy 
nose,  and  my  bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I  will  turn  thee  back 
by  the  way  by  which  thou  earnest. 

30  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  thee,  Ye  shall  eat  this 
year  such  as  groweth  of  itself;  and  the  second  year  that 
which  springeth  of  the  same :  and  in  the  third  year  sow  ye, 
and  reap,  and  plant  vineyards,  and  eat  the  fruit  thereof. 

31  And  fthe  remnant  that  is  escaped  of  the  house  of 
Ju'dah  shall  again  take  root  downward,  and  bear  fruit  up- 
ward: 

32  For  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  go  forth  a  remnant,  and 
fthey  that  escape  out  of  mount  Zi'on :  the  'zeal  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts  shall  do  this. 

33  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  He  shall  not  come  into  this  city,  nor  shoot  an 
arrow  there,  nor  come  before  it  with  fshields,  nor  cast  a 
bank  against  it. 

34  .By  the  way  that  he  came,  by  the  same  shall  he  return, 
and  snail  not  come  into  this  city,  saith  the  Lord. 

35  For  I  will  •'defend  this  city  to  save  it,  for  mine  own 
sake,  and  for  my  servant  Da'vid's  sake. 

36  Then  the  'angel  of  the  Lord  went  forth,  and  smote  in 
the  camp  of  the  As-syr'i-ans  a  hundred  and  fourscore  and  five 
thousand :  and  when  they  arose  early  in  the  morning,  be- 
hold, they  were  all  dead  corpses. 

37  i[So  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  departed,  and 
went  and  returned,  and  dwelt  at  Nin'e-veh. 

38  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  worshipping  in  the 
house  of  Nis'roch  liis  god,  that  A-dram'me-lech  and  Sha- 
re'zer  his  sons  smote  him  with  the  sword ;  and  they  escaped 
into  the  land  of  fAr-me'ni-a:  and  E-sar-had'don  his  son 
reigned  in  his  stead. 

CHAPTER    XXXVIII. 

Hezekiahf  by  prayer,  hath  his  life  lengthened. 

IN  "those  days  was  Hez'e-ki'ah  sick  unto  death.  And 
I-sa'iah  the  prophet  the  son  of  A'moz  came  unto  him, 
and  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  'fSet  thine  house 
in  order :  for  thou  shalt  die,  and  not  live. 

2  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah  turned  his  face  toward  the  wall,  and 
prayed  unto  the  Lord, 

3  And  said,  ''Remember  now,  O  Lord,  I  beseech  thee, 
how  I  have  walked  before  thee  in  truth  and  with  a  perfect 
heart,  and  have  done  that  which  is  good  in  thy  sight.  And 
Hez-e-ki'ah  wept  fsore. 

4  ^Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  to  I-sa'iah,  saying, 
•5  Go,  and  say  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the 

God  of  Da'vid  thy  father,  I  have  heard  thy  prayer,  I  have 
seen  thy  tears:  behold,  I  will  add  unto  thy  days  fifteen  years. 

6  And  I  will  deliver  thee  and  this  city  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  king  of  As-syr'i-a :  and  ''I  will  defend  this  city. 

^  And  this  shall  be  'a.  sign  unto  thee  from  the  Lord,  that 
the  Lord  will  do  this  thing  that  he  hath  spoken ; 

8  Behold,  I  will  bring  again  the  shadow  of  the  degrees, 
which  is  gone  down  in  the  fsun  dial  of  A'haz  ten  degrees, 
backward.  So  the  sun  returned  ten  degrees,  by  which  de- 
grees it  was  gone  down. 

9  1[The  writing  of  Hez-e-ki'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  when  he 
had  been  sick,  and  was  recovered  of  his  sickness : 

10  I  said  in  the  cutting  off  of  my  days,  I  shall  go  to  the 
gates  of  the  grave :  I  am  deprived  of  the  residue  of  my  years. 


have  I  brought  it  to  pass,  that  thou  shouldest  be  to 

27  lay  waste  fenced  cities  into  ruinous  heaps.     There 
fore    their    inhabitants    were   of  small  power,  they 
were  dismayed  and  confounded;  they  were  as  the 
grass  of  the  field,   and  as  the  green   herb,  as  the 
grass    on    the    housetops,  and   as  'a  field    of   corn 

28  before  it  be  grown  up.  But  I  know  thy  sitting 
down,    and    thy   going    out,  and    thy    coming    in 

29  and  thy  raging  against  me.  Because  of  thy  raging 
against  me,  and  for  that  ^thine  arrogancy  is 
come  up  into  mine  ears,  therefore  will  I  put  my 
hook  in  thy  nose,  and  my  bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I 
will    turn    thee   back  by  the   way   by   which  thou 

30camest.  And  this  .shall  be  the  sign  unto  thee:  ye 
shall  eat  this  year  that  which  groweth  of  itself,  and 
in  the  second  year  that  which  springeth  of  the 
same ;  and  in  the  third  year  sow  ye,  and  reap,  and 

31  plant  vineyards,  and  eat  the  fruit  thereof.  And  'the 
remnant  that  is  escaped  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah  shall 
again  take  root  downward,  and  bear  fruit  upward. 

32  For  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  go  forth  a  remnant,  and 
out  of  mount  Zi'on  they  that  shall  escape :  the  zeal 

33  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall  perform  this.  There- 
fore thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning  the  king  of 
As-syr'i-a,  He  shall  not  come  unto  this  city,  nor  shoot 
an  arrow  there,  neither  shall  he  come  before  it  with 

34  shield,  nor  cast  a  mount  against  it.  By  the  way 
that  he  came,  by  the  same  shall  he  return,  and  he 

35  shall  not  come  unto  this  city,  saith  the  Lord.  For 
I  will  defend  this  city  to  save  it,  for  mine  own 
sake,  and  for  my  servant  Da'vid's  sake. 

36  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  went  forth,  and  smote 
in  the  camp  of  the  As-syr'i-ans  a  hundred  and  four- 
score and  five  thousand :  and  when  men  arose  early 
in  the  morning,  behold,  they  were  all  dead  corpses. 

37  So  Sen-nach'e-rib  king  of  As-syr'i-a  departed,  and 

38  went  and  returned,  and  dwelt  at  Nin'e-veh.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  worshipping  in  the 
house  of  Nis'roch  his  god,  that  A-dram'me-lech  and 
Sha-re'zer  his  sons  smote  him  with  the  sword :  and 
they  escaped  into  the  land  of  Ar'a-rat.  And  E-sar- 
had'don  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead. 

OO  <In  those  days  was  Hez-e-ki'ah  sick  unto  death.  And 
I-sa'iah  the  prophet  the  son  of  A'moz  came  to  him,  and 
said  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Set  thine  house  in 

2  order;  for  thou  shaltdie,and  not  live.  Then  Hez-e-ki'ah 
turned  his  face  to  the  wall,  and  prayed  unto  the  Lord, 

3  and  said.  Remember  now,  O  Lord,  I  beseech  thee, 
how  I  have  walked  before  thee  in  truth  and  with  a  per- 
fect heart,  and  have  done  that  which  is  good  in  thy 

4sight.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  wept  sore.  Then  came  the  word 

5  of  the  Lord  to  I-sa'iah,  saying  Go,  and  say  to  Hez-e- 

ki'ah,Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Da'vid  thy  father, 

I  have  heard  thy  prayer,  I  have  seen  thy  tears :  behold, 

6 1  will  add  unto  thy  days  fifteen  years.     And  I  will 

deliver  thee  and  this  city  out  of  the  hand  of  the  king 

7  of  As-syr'i-a :  and  I  will  defend  this  city.  And  this 
shall  be  the  sign  unto  thee  from  the  Lord,  that  the 

8  Lord  will  do  this  thing  that  he  hath  spoken :  be- 
hold, I  will  cause  the  shadow  on  the  steps,  which  is 
gone  down  on  the  "dial  of  A'haz  *with  the  sun,  to  re- 
turn backward  ten  steps.  So  the  sun  returned  ten 
steps  'on  the  dial  whereon  it  was  gone  down. 

9  The  writing  of  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  when 
he  had  been  sick,  and  was  recovered  of  his  sickness. 

10     I  said.  In  the  'noontide  of  my  days  I  shall  go  into 
the  gates  of  'the  grave : 
I  am  deprived  of  the  residue  of  my  years.

break  all  my  bones :  from  day  even  to  night  wilt  thou  make 
an  end  of  me. 

14  Like  a  crane  or  a  swallow,  so  did  I  chatter :  *I  did 
mourn  as  a  dove:  mine  eyes  fail  vnth  looking  upward:  O 
Lord,  I  am  oppressed;  || undertake  for  me. 

15  What  shall  I  say?  he  hath  both  spoken  unto  me,  and 
himself  bath  done  it:  I  shall  go  softly  all  my  years  'in  the 
bitterness  of  my  soul. 

16  O  Lord,  by  these  things  men  live,  and  in  all  these  things 
is  the  life  of  my  spirit :  so  wilt  thou  recover  me,  and  make 
Aiie  to  live. 

17  Behold,  ||for  peace  I  had  great  bitterness;  but  fthou 
hast  in  love  to  my  soul  delivered  it  from  the  pit  of  corrup- 
tion :  for  thou  hast  cast  all  my  sins  behind  thy  back. 

18  For  *the  grave  cannot  praise  thee,  death  cannot  cele- 
brate thee :  they  that  go  down  into  the  pit  cannot  hope  for 
thy  truth. 

19  The  living,  the  living,  he  shall  praise  thee,  as  I  rfo  this 
day:  'the  father  to  the  children  shall  make  known  thy 
truth. 

20  The  Lord  was  ready  to  save  me:  therefore  we  will 
sing  my  songs  to  the  stringed  instruments  all  the  days  of 
our  life  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

21  For  "I-sa'iah  had  said.  Let  them  take  a  lump  of  figs,  and 
lay  a  for  a  plaster  upon  the  boil,  and  he  shall  recover. 

22  "Hez-e-ki'ah  also  had  said.  What  is  the  sign  that  I  shall 
go  up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord  ? 

CHAPTER   XXXIX. 

Mfrodach-batadan,  sending  to  visit  Hezekiah^  hath  notice  of  his  treasures. 

AT  "that  time  Me-ro'dach-bal'a-dan,  the  son  of  Bal'a-dan, 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  sent  letters  and  a  present  to  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  :  for  he  had  heard  that  he  had  been  sick,  and  was  re- 
covered. 

2  'And  Hez-e-ki'ah  was  glad  of  them,  and  shewed  them  the 
house  of  his  ||  precious  things,  the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and 
the  spices,  and  the  precious  ointment,  and  all  the  house  of 
his  II  farmour,  and  all  that  was  found  in  his  treasures :  there 
was  nothing  in  his  house,  nor  in  all  his  dominion,  that 
Hez-e-ki'ah  shewed  them  not. 

3  ^Then  came  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  unto  king  Hez-e-ki'ah 
and  said  unto  him,  What  said  these  men  ?  and  from  whence 
came  they  unto  thee?  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  said.  They  are  come 
from  a  far  country  unto  me,  even  from  Bab'y-lon. 

4  Then  said  he,  What  have  they  seen  in  thine  house? 
And  Hez-e-ki'ah  answered,  All  that  is  in  mine  house  have 
they  seen :  there  is  nothing  among  my  treasures  that  I  have 
not  shewed  them. 

5  Then  said  I-sa'iah  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts: 

6  Behold,  the  days  come,  "that  all  that  w  in  thine  house, 
and  thai  which  thy  fathers  have  laid  up  in  store  until  this 
day,  shall  be  carried  to  Bab'y-lon :  nothing  shall  be  left, 
saith  the  Lord. 

7  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall  issue  from  thee,  which  thou 


11  I  said,  I  shall  not  see  'the  Lord,  evem,  'the  Lord 

in  the  land  of  the  living: 
I  shall  behold  man  no  more  ^with  the  inhabitants 
of  the  world. 

12  Mine  'age  is   removed,  and  is  carried  away  from 

me  as  a  shepherd's  tent: 
I  have  rolled  up  like  a  weaver  my  life;    he  will 

cut  me  off  from  the  ^loom ; 
From  day  even  to  night  wilt  thou  make  an  end  of  me. 

13  'I  quieted  myself  until    morning;   as  a  lion,  so   he 

breaketh  all  my  bones: 
From  day  even  to  night  wilt  thou  make  an  end  of  me 

14  Like  a  swallow  or  a  crane,  so  did  I  chatter; 

I  did  mourn  as  a  dove :  mine  eyes  fail  vyilh  looking 
upward ; 

0  Lord,  I  am  oppressed,  be  thou  my  surety. 

15  What  shall  I  say?  he  hath  both  spoken  unto  me, 

and  himself  hath  done  it : 

1  shall    go  ^softly    all    my   years  because  of  the 

bitterness  of  my  soul. 

16  O  Lord,  by  these  things  men  live, 

And  wholly  therein  is  the  life  of  my  spirit : 
'Wherefore  recover  thou  me,  and  make  me  to  live. 

17  Behold,  it  was  for  my   peace    that    I    had    great 

bitterness : 
But  *thou  hast  in  love   to   my   soul  delivered  it 

from  the  pit  of  'corruption  ; 
For  thou  hast  cast  all  my  sins  behind  thy  back. 

18  For  '"the  grave  cannot  praise  thee,  death  cannot 

celebrate  thee : 
They  that  go  down  into  the  pit  cannot  hope   for 
thy  truth. 

19  The  living,  the  living,  he  shall  praise  thee,  as  I 

do  this  day : 
The  father  to  the  children  shall  make  known  thy  truth . 

20  The  Lord  is  ready  to  save  me: 

Therefore  we  will  sing  my  songs  to  the  stringed 

instruments 
All  the  days  of  our  life  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

21  "Now  I-sa'iah  had  said.  Let  them  take  a  cake  of 
figs,  and  lay  it  for  a  plaister  upon  the  boil,  and  he 

22  shall  recover.  Hez-e-ki'ah  also  had  said.  What  is  the 
sign  that  I  shall  go  up  to  the  house  of  the  Lord? 

Oy  i2At  that  time  Me-ro'dach-bal'a-dan  the  son  of  Bal'- 
a'dan,  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  sent  letters  and  &  present  to 
Hez-e-ki'ah  :  for  he  heard  that  he  had  been  sick,  and 

2  was  recovered.  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  was  glad  of  them, 
and  shewed  them  the  house  of  his  '^precious  things, 
the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the  spices,  and  the 
precious  oil,  and  all  the  house  of  his  '^armour,  and 
all  that  was  found  in  his  treasures :  there  was  noth- 
ing in  his  house,  nor  in  all  his  dominion,  that  Hez- 

3e-ki'ah  shewed  them  not.  Then  came  I-sa'iah  the 
prophet  unto  king  Hez-e-ki'ah,  and  said  unto  him. 
What  said  these  men  ?  and  from  whence  came  they 
unto  thee  ?  And  Hez-e-ki'ah  said,  They  are  come  from 

4  a  far  country  unto  me,  even  from  Bab'y-lon.  Then 
said  he.  What  have  they  seen  in  thine  house? 
And  Hez-e-ki'ah  answered.  All  that  is  in  mine  house 
have  they  seen :  there  is  nothing  among  my  treas- 

5ures  that  I  have  not  shewed  them.  Then  said 
I-sa'iah  to  Hez-e-ki'ah,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord 

6  of  hosts.  Behold,  the  days  come,  that  all  that  i.s  in 
thine  house,  and  that  which  thy  fathers  have  laid 
up  in  store  until  this  day,  shall  be  carried  to  Bab'y-

The  promulgation  of  the  gospel. 

COMFORT  ye,  comfort  ye  my  people,  saith  your  God. 
2  Speak  ye  fcomfortably  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  cry  unto 
her,  that  her  ||  warfare  is  accomplished,  that  her  iniquity  is 
pardoned :  "for  she  hath  received  of  the  Lord's  hand  double 
for  all  her  sins. 

3  ^'The  voice  of  him  that  crieth  in  the  wilderness,  'Pre- 
pare ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  ''make  straight  in  the  desert 
a  highway  for  our  God. 

4  Every  valley  shall  be  exalted,  and  every  mountain  and 
hill  shall  be  made  low:  'and  the  crooked  shall  be  made 
II  straight,  and  the  rough  places  jj  plain  : 

5  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  shall  be  revealed,  and  all  flesh 
shall  see  it  together :  for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

6  The  voice  said.  Cry.  And  he  said,  What  shall  I  cry? 
•'^AU  flesh  is  grass,  and  all  the  goodliness  thereof  ts  as  the 
flower  of  the  field :

tidings,  lift  up  thy  voice  with  strength ;  lift  it  up,  be  not 
afraid;  say  unto  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  Behold  your  God  J 

10  Behold,  the  Lord  God  will  come  jjwith  strong  hand, 
and  'his  arm  shall  rule  for  him :  behold,  'his  reward  is  with 
him,  and  ||his  work  before  him. 

11  He  shall  'feed  his  flock  like  a  shepherd:  he  shall  gather 
the  lambs  with  his  arm,  and  carry  ihem  in  his  bosom,  and

and  taught  him  in  the  path  of  judgment,  and  taught  him 
knowledge,  and  shewed  to  him  the  way  of  funderstanding? 

15  Behold,  the  nations  are  as  a  drop  of  a  bucket,  and  are 
counted  as  the  small  dust  of  the  balance :  behold,  he  taketh

over. For  there  shall  be  peace  and  truth  in  my  days.

24  Yea,  they  shall  not  be  planted ;  yea,  they  shall  not  be 
sown;  yea,  their  stock  shall  not  take  root  in  the  earth :  and 
he  shall  also  blow  upon  them,  and  they  shall  wither,  and 
the  whirlwind  shall  take  them  away  as  stubble. 

25  "To  whom  then  will  ye  liken  me,  or  shall  I  be  equal? 
saith  the  Holy  One. 

26  Lift  up  your  eyes  on  high,  and  behold  who  hath  cre- 
ated these  things,  that  bringeth  out  their  host  by  number: 
'he  calleth  them  all  by  names,  by  the  greatness  of  his 
might,  for  that  he  is  strong  in  power;  not  one  faileth. 

27  Why  sayest  thou,  O  Ja'cob,  and  speakest,  O  Is'ra-el,  My 
way  is  hid  from  the  Lord,  and  my  judgment  is  passed  over 
from  my  God? 

28  ^Hast  thou  not  knovim  ?  hast  thou  not  heard,  thai  the 
everlasting  God,  the  Loed,  the  Creator  of  the  ends  of  the 
earth,  fainteth  not,  neitner  is  weary?  "there  is  no  searching 
of  his  understanding. 

29  He  giveth  power  to  the  faint ;  and  to  them  that  have  no 
might  he  increaseth  strength. 

30  Even  the  youths  shall  faint  and  be  weary,  and  the 
young  men  shall  utterly  fall : 

31  But  they  that  wait  upon  the  IjORD  'shall  frenew  their 
strength ;  they  shall  mount  up  with  wings  as  eagles ;  they  shall 
run,  and  not  be  weary ;  and  they  shall  walk,  and  not  faint. 

CHAPTER   XLI. 

God's  mercies  to  his  church. 

KEEP  "silence  before  me,  O  islands ;    and  let  the  people 
renew  their  strength :  let  them  come  near ;  then  let  them 
speak :  let  us  come  near  together  to  judgment- 

2  Who  raised  up  fthe  righteous  man  'Vrom  the  east, 
called  him  to  his  foot,  'gave  the  nations  before  him,  and 
made  him  rule  over  kings?  he  gave  them  as  the  dust  to  his 
sword,  and  as  driven  stubble  to  his  bow. 

3  He  pursued  them,  and  passed  fsafely :  ewen  by  the  way 
that  he  bad  not  gone  with  his  feet. 

4  ''Who  hath  wrought  and  done  it,  calling  the  generations 
from  the  beginning?  I  the  Lord,  the  ^fiist,  and  with  the 
last ;  I  am  he. 

5  The  isles  saw  it,  and  feared;  the  ends  of  the  earth  were 
afraid,  drew  near,  and  came. 

6  -TThey  helped  every  one  his  neighbour;  and  every  one 
said  to  his  brother,  fBe  of  good  courage. 

7  'So  the  carpenter  encouraged  the  || goldsmith,  and  he 
that  smootheth  with  the  hammer  ||  him  that  smote  the  anvil, 
II saying,  It  is  ready  for  the  soldering:  and  he  fastened  it 
with  nails'  Hhat  it  should  not  be  moved. 

8  But  thou,  Is'ra-el,  art  my  servant,  Ja'cob  whom  I  have 
'chosen,  the  seed  of  A'bra-ham  my  *friend. 

9  Thou  whom  I  have  taken  from  the  ends  of  the  earth,  and 
called  thee  from  the  chief  men  thereof,  and  said  unto  thee,Thou 
art  my  servant ;  I  have  chosen  thee,  and  not  cast  thee  away. 

10  Tf'Fear  thcu  not;  "for  I  am  with  thee:  be  not  dis- 
mayed; for  I  am  thy  God:  I  will  strengthen  thee;  yea,  I 
will  help  thee ;  yea,  I  will  uphold  thee  with  the  right  hand 
of  my  righteousness. 

11  Behold,  all  they  that  were  incensed  against  thee  shall 
be  "ashamed  and  confounded:  they  shall  be  as  nothing; 
and  fthey  that  strive  with  thee  shall  perish. 

12  Thou  shalt  seek  them,  and  shaft  not  find  them,  even 
fthem  that  contended  with  thee:  fthey  that  war  against 
thee  shall  be  as  nothing,  and  as  a  thing  of  nought. 

13  For  I  the  Lord  thy  God  will  hold  thy  right  hand, 
saying  unto  thee,  "Fear  not ;  I  will  help  thee. 

14  Fear  not,  thou  worm  Ja'cob,  and  ye  ||men  of  Is'ra-el; 
I  will  help  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  and  thy  Redeemer,  the 
Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

15  Behold,  "I  will  make  thee  a  new  sharp  threshing  instru- 
ment having  fteeth:  thou  shalt  thresh  the  mountains,  and 
beat  them  small,  and  shalt  make  the  hills  as  chaff. 


24  'Yea  they  have  mot  been  planted ;  yea,  they  have  not 
been  sown ;  yea,  their  stock  hath  not  taken  root  in 
the  earth :  moreover  he  bloweth  upon  them,  and  they 
wither,    and  the   whirlwind   taketh   them  away  as 

25  stubble.     To  whom  then  will  ye  liken  me,  that  I 

26  should  be  equal  to  himf  saith  the  Holy  One.  Lift 
up  your  eyes  on  high,  ^and  see  who  hath  created 
these,  that  bringeth  out  their  host  by  number:  he 
calleth  them  all  by  name;  by  the  greatness  of  his 
might,  and  for  that  he  is  strong  in  power,  not  one  is 
lacking. 

27  Why  sayest  thou,  O  Ja'cob,  and  speakest,  O  Is' 
ra-el,  My  way  is  hid  from  the  Lord,  and  my  judge 

28  ment  is  passed  away  from  my  God  ?     Hast  thou  not 
known?  hast  thou  not  heard?  Hhe  everlasting  God, 
the  Lord,  the  Creator  of  the  ends  of  the  earth,  faint 
eth  not,  neither  is  weary;  there  is  no  searching  of 

29 his  understanding.  He  giveth  power  to  the  faint; 
and    to    him    that    hath    no    might    he    increaseth 

30  strength.     Even    the    youths    shall    faint    and    be 

31  weary,  and  the  young  men  shall  utterly  fall :  but 
they  that  wait  upon  the  Lord  shall  renew  their 
strength ;  they  shall  mount  up  with  wings  as  eagles ; 
they  shall  run,  and  not  be  weary ;  they  shall  wa.k, 
and  not  faint. 

^i  Keep  silence  before  me,  O  islands;  and  let 
the  peoples  renew  their  strength:  let  them  come 
near;  then  let  them  speak:  let  us  come  near  to 
2gether  to  judgement.  Who  hath  raised  up  one 
from  the  east,  Vhom  he  calleth  in  righteousness  to 
his  foot?  he  giveth  nations  before  him,  and  maketh 
him  rule  over  kings;  'he  giveth  them  as  the  dust 

3  to  his  sword,  as  the  driven  stubble  to  his  bow.  He 
pursueth   them,  and  passeth  on  safely;   even  by  a 

4  way  that  he  had  not  gone  with  his  feet.  Who  hath 
wrought  and  done  it,  calling  the  generations  from 
the  beginning?  I  the  Lord,  the  first,  and  with  the 

5  last,  I  am  he.  The  isles  saw,  and  feared ;  the  ends 
of  the   earth  trembled :   they   drew  near,  and  came. 

6  They  heloed  every  one  his  neighbour ;  and  every  one 

7  said  to  his  brother.  Be  of  good  courage.  So  the 
carpenter  encouraged  the  goldsmith,  and  he  that 
smootheth  with  the  hammer  him  that  smiteth  the 
anvil,  saying  of  the  soldering.  It  is  good :  and  he  fast- 
ened it  with  nails,  that  it  should  not  be  moved. 

8  But  thou,  Is'ra-el,  my  servant,  Ja'cob  whom  I  have 
9 chosen,   the  seed   of  A'bra-ham   my    friend;    thou 

whom  I  have  taken  hold  of  from  the  ends  of  the 
earth,  and  called  thee  from  the  corners  thereof,  and 
said  unto  thee.  Thou  art  my  servant,  I  have  chosen 
10 thee  and  not  cast  thee  away;  fear  thou  not,  for  I 
am  with  thee ;  'be  n9t  dismayed,  for  I  am  thy  God : 
I  will  strengthen  thee ;  yea,  I  will  help  thee ;  yea, 
I  will  uphold  thee  with  the  right  hand  of  my  right- 

11  eousness.  Behold,  all  they  that  are  incensed 
against  thee  shall  be  ashamed  and  confounded: 
they  that  strive  with  thee  shall  be  as  nothing,  and 

12  shall  perish.  Thou  shalt  seek  them,  and  shalt  not 
find  them,  even  them  that  contend  with  thee:  they 
that  war  against  thee  shall  be  as  nothing,  and  as  a 

13 thing  of  nought.  For  I  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
hold  thy  right  hand,  saying  unto  thee.  Fear  not;  I 

14  will  help  thee.  Fear  not,  thou  worm  Ja'cob,  and  ye 
men  of  Is'ra-el ;  I  will  help  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  and 

15 'thy  redeemer  is  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el.  Behold,  I 
will  make  thee  a  new  .sharp  threshing  instrument 
having  teeth:  thou  shalt  thresh  the  mountains,  and 
beat  them  small,  and  shalt  make  the  hills  as  chaff.  I

and  the  whirlwind  shall  scatter  them  :  and  thou  shalt  rejoice 
in  the  Loed,  and  'shalt  glory  in  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el. 

17  When  the  poor  and  needy  seek  water,  and  there  is 
none,  and  their  tongue  faileth  for  thirst,  I  the  Loed  will 
hear  them,  I  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  will  not  forsake  them. 

18  I  will  open  'rivers  in  high  places,  and  fountains  in  the 
midst  of  the  valleys :  I  will  make  the  'wilderness  a  pool  of 
water,  and  the  dry  land  springs  of  water. 

19  I  will  plant  in  the  wilderness  the  cedar,  the  shittah 
tree,  and  the  myrtle,  and  the  oil  tree;  I  will  set  in  the 
desert  the  fir  tree,  and  the  pine,  and  the  box  tree  together : 

20  "That  they  may  see,  and  know,  and  consider,  and 
understand  together,  that  the  hand  of  the  Loed  hath  done 
this,  and  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el  hath  created  it. 

21  fProduce  your  cause,  saith  the  Loed;  bring  forth 
your  strong  reasons,  saith  the  King  of  Ja'cob. 

22  ^Let  them  bring  them  forth,  and  shew  us  what  shall 
happen :  let  them  shew  the  former  things,  what  they  be, 
that  we  may  fconsider  them,  and  know  the  latter  end  of 
them;  or  declare  us  things  for  to  come. 

23  "Shew  the  things  that  are  to  come  hereafter,  that  we 
may  know  that  ye  are  gods :  yea,  "do  good,  or  do  evil,  that 
we  may  be  dismayed,  and  behold  it  together. 

24  Behold,  °ye  are  ||  of  nothing,  and  your  work  ]|  of 
nought :  an  abomination  is  he  that  chooseth  you. 

25  I  have  raised  up  one  from  the  north,  and  he  shall 
come:  from  the  rising  of  the  sun  'shall  he  call  upon  my 
name :  "^and  he  shall  come  upon  princes  as  upon  mortar,  and 
as  the  potter  treadeth  clay. 

26  ''Who  hath  declared  from  the  beginning,  that  we  may 
know?  and  beforetime,  that  we  may  say,  He  is  righteous? 
yea,  there  is  none  that  sheweth,  yea,  there  is  none  that 
declareth,  yea,  there  is  none  that  heareth  your  words. 

27  'The  ^Tst-^shall  say  to  Zi'on,  Behold,  behold  them  :  and 
I  will  give  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  one  that  bringeth  good  tidings. 

28  "For  I  beheld,  and  there  was  no  man ;  even  among 
them,  and  there  was  no  counsellor,  that,  when  I  asked  of 
them,  could  fanswer  a  word. 

29  *Behold,  they  are  all  vanity ;  their  works  are  nothing : 
their  molten  images  are  wind  and  confusion. 

CHAPTER  XLII. 

Chffst's  misston  to  the  Gentiles. 

BEHOLD  "my  servant,  whom  I  uphold;    mine  elect,  in 
whom  my  soul  'delighteth ;  ''I  have  put  my  Spirit  upon 
him:  he  shall  bring  forth  judgment  to  the  Gentiles. 

2  He  shall  not  cry,  nor  lift  up,  nor  cause  his  voice  to  be 
heard  in  the  street. 

3  A  bruised  reed  shall  he  not  break,  and  the  ||  smoking 
flax  shall  he  not  fquench :  he  shall  bring  forth  judgment 
unto  truth. 

4  He  shall  not  fail  nor  be  fdiscouraged,  till  he  have  set 
judgment  in  the  earth:  ''and  the  isles  shall  wait  for 
his  law. 

5  ^Thus  saith  God  the  Loed,  'he  that  created  the  heavens, 
and  stretched  them  out;  -^he  that  spread  forth  the  earth,  and 
that  which  cometh  out  of  it ;  "he  that  giveth  breath  unto  the 
people  upon  it,  and  spirit  to  them  that  walk  therein : 

6  *I  the  Loed  have  called  thee  in  righteousness,  and  will 
hold  thine  hand,  and  will  keep  thee,  'and  give  thee  for  a 
covenant  of  the  people,  for  'a  light  of  the  Gentiles ; 

7  'To  open  the  blind  eyes,  to  "bring  out  the  prisoners 
from  the  prison,  and  them  that  sit  in  "darkness  out  of  the 
prison  house. 

8  I  am  the  Loed  ;  that  is  my  name :  and  my  "glory  will 
I  not  give  to  another,  neither  my  praise  to  graven  images. 

9  Behold,  the  former  things  are  come  to  pass,  and  new  things 
do  I  declare :  before  they  spring  forth  I  tell  you  of  them. 

10  "Sing  unto  the  Loed  a  new  song,  and  his  praise  from 


16  Thou  shalt  fan  them,  and  the  wind  shall  carry  them 
away,  and  the  whirlwind  shall  scatter  them  :  and  thou 
shalt  rejoice  in  the  Loed,  thou  shalt  glory  in  the 

1 7  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el.  The  poor  and  needy  seek  water 
and  there  is  none,  and  their  tongue  faileth  for  thirst ; 
I  the  Loed  will  answer  them,  I  the  God  of  Is'ra-el 

18  will  not  forsake  them.  I  will  open  rivers  on  the  bare 
heights,  and  fountains  in  the  midst  of  the  valleys :  I 
will  make  the  wilderness  a  pool  of  water,  and  the  dry 

19  land  springs  of  water.  I  will  plant  in  the  wilderness 
the  cedar,  the  acacia  tree,  and  the  myrtle,  and  the 
'oil  tree;  I  will  set  in  the  desert  the  fir  tree,  the  ^pine, 

20  and  the  'box  tree  together :  that  they  may  see,  and 
know,  and  consider,  and  understand  together,  that 
the  hand  of  the  Loed  hath  done  this,  and  the  Holy 
One  of  Is'ra-el  hath  created  it. 

21  Produce  your  cause,  saith  the  Loed;  bring  forth 

22  your  strong  reasons,  saith  the  King  of  Ja'cob.  Let 
them  bring  them  forth,  and  declare  unto  us  what 
shall  happen :  declare  ye  the  former  things,  what 
they  be,  that  we  may  consider  them,  and  know  the 
latter  end  of  them ;  or  shew  us  things  for  to  come. 

23  Declare  the  things  that  are  to  come  hereafter,  that 
we  may  know  that  ye  are  gods;  yea,  do  good,  or 
do  evil,  that  we  may  *be  dismayed,  and  behold   it 

24  together.  Behold,  ye  are  of  nothing,  and  your  work 
of  nought :  an  abomination  is  he  that  chooseth  you. 

25  I  have  raised  up  one  from  the  north,  and  he  is 
come ;  from  the  rising  of  the  sun  one  that  calleth 
upon  my  name :  and  he  shall  come  upon  ^rulers  as 

26  upon  mortar,  and  as  the  potter  treadeth  clay.  Who 
hath  declared  it  from  the  beginning,  that  we 
may  know?  and  beforetime,  that  we  may  say.  He 
is  righteous?  yea,  there  is  none  that  declareth,  yea, 
there  is  none  that  sheweth,  yea,  there  is  none  that 

27  heareth  your  words.  /  first  roill  say  unto  Zi'on, 
Behold,  behold  them;  and  I  will  give  to  Je-ru'sa-lem 

28  one  that  bringeth  good  tidings.  And  when  I  look, 
there  is  no  man;  even  among  them  there  is  no 
counsellor,  that  when  I  ask  of  them,  can  answer  a 

29  word.  ^Behold,  all  of  them,  their  works  are  vanity  and 
nought :  their  molten  images  are  wind  and  confusion. 

^^      Behold  my  servant,  whom  I  uphold  ;  my  chosen, 

in  whom  my  soul  delighteth :  I  have  put  my  spirit 

upon  him  ;  he  shall  bring  forth  forth  judgement  to  the 

2 'Gentiles.     He  shall  not  cry,  nor  lift  up,  nor  cause 

3  his  voice  to  be  heard  in  the  street.  A  bruised  reed 
shall  he  not  break,  and  the  'smoking  flax  shall  he 
not   quench:    he   shall    bring    forth   judgement    in 

4  truth.  He  shall  not  'fail  nor  be  '"discouraged,  till 
he  have  set  judgement  in  the  earth;    and  the  isles 

5  shall  wait  for  his  law.  Thus  saith  God  the  Loed, 
he  that  created  the  heavens,  and  stretched  them 
forth ;  he  that  spread  abroad  the  earth  and  that 
which  cometh  out  of  it ;  he  that  giveth  breath  unto 
the   people  upon   it,  and  spirit  to  them  that  walk 

6  therein :  I  the  Loed  hare  called  thee  in  righteous- 
ness, and  will  hold  thine  hand,  and  will  "keep  thee, 
and  give  thee  for  a  covenant  of  the  people,  for  a 

7 light  of  the  Gentiles;  to  open  the  blind  eyes,  to 
bring  out  the  prisoners  from  the  dungeon,  and  them 

8  that  sit  in  darkness  out  of  the  prison  house..  I  am 
the  Loed;  that  is  my  name:  and  my  glory  will  I 
not  give  to  another,  neither  my  praise  unto  graven 

9  images.  Behold,  the  former  things  are  come  to 
pass,  and  new  things  do  I  declare:  before  they 
spring  forth  I  tell  you  of  them.

11  Let  the  wilderness  and  the  cities  thereof  lift  up  their  voice, 
the  villages  that  Ke'dar  doth  inhabit :  let  the  inhabitants  of 
the  rock  sing,  let  them  shout  from  the  top  of  the  mountains. 

12  Let  them  give  glory  unto  the  LoED,  and  declare  his 
praise  in  the  islands. 

13  The  LoED  shall  go  forth  as  a  mighty  man,  he  shall 
stir  up  jealousy  like  a  man  of  war:  he  shall  cry,  ""yea,  roar: 
he  shall  ||  prevail  against  his  enemies. 

14  I  have  long  time  holden  my  peace;  I  have  been  still, 
and  refrained  myself:  now  will  I  cry  like  a  travailing 
woman ;  I  will  destroy  and  fdevour  at  once. 

15  I  will  make  waste  mountains  and  hills,  and  dry  up  all 
their  herbs ;  and  I  will  make  the  rivers  islands,  and  I  will 
dry  up  the  pools. 

16  And  I  will  bring  the  blind  by  a  way  <Aa<  they  knew  not;  I 
will  lead  them  in  paths  that  they  have  not  known  :  I  will  make 
darkness  light  before  them,  and  crooked  things  fstraight. 
These  things  will  I  do  unto  them,  and  not  forsake  them. 

17  ^They  shall  be  'turned  back,  they  shall  be  greatly

21  The  Loed  is  well  pleased  for  his  righteousness'  sake; 
he  will  magnify  the  law,  and  make  \\it  honourable. 

22  But  this  is  a  people  robbed  and  spoiled;  \\they  are  all

they  are  for  a  prey,  and  none  delivereth ;  for  fa  spoil,  and

25  Therefore  he  hath  poured  upon  him  the  fury  of  his 
anger,  and  the  strength  of  battle :  ""and  it  hath  set  him  on 
fire  round  about,  "yet  he  knew  not;  and  it  burned  him,  yet

CHAPTER   XLIII. 

The  Lord  comforteth  the  church  with  his  promises. 

BUT  now  thus  saith  the  Loed  "that  created  thee,  O  Ja'cob, 
'and  hethat formed thee,0 Is' ra-el,Fear  not:  "for  I  have  re- 
deemed thee,''!  have  called  theehy  thy  name;  thou  art  mine. 

2  'When  thou  passest  through  the  waters  -TI  will  be  with 
thee ;  and  through  the  rivers,  they  shall  not  overflow  thee : 
when  thou '  'walkest  through  the  fire,  thou  shalt  not  be 
burned;  neither  shall  the  flame  kindle  upon  thee. 

3  For  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el, 
thy  Saviour :  'I  gave  E'gypt  for  thy  ransom,  E-thi-o'pi-a 
and  Se'ba  for  thee. 

4  Since  thou  wast  precious  in  my  sight  thou  hast  been 
honourable,  and  I  have  loved  thee:  therefore  will  I  give 
men  for  thee,  and  people  for  thy  ||life. 

5  'Fear  not ;  for  I  am  with  thee :  I  will  bring  thy  seed 
from  the  east,  and  gather  thee  from  the  west : 

6  I  will  say  to  the  north,  Give  up  ;  and  to  the  south,  Keep 
not  back :  bring  my  sons  from  far,  and  my  daughters  from 
the  ends  of  the  earth ; 

7  Even  every  one  that  is  ^called  by  my  name :  for  'I  have 
created  him  for  my  glory,  "I  have  formed  him ;  yea,  I  have 
made  him. 

8  ^"Bring  forth  the  blind  people  that  have  eyes,  and  the 
deaf  that  have  ears. 


the  end  of  the  earth;  ye  that  go  down  to  the 
sea,  and  all  that  is  therein,  the  isles,  and  the  inhab- 
llitants  thereof.  Let  the  wilderness  and  the  cities 
thereof  lift  up  their  voice,  the  villages  that  Ke'dar 
doth  inhabit ;  let  the  inhabitants  of  'Se'la  sing,  let 

12  them  shout  from  the  top  of  the  mountains.  Let 
them  give  glory  unto  the  Loed,  and   declare  his 

13  praise  in  the  islands.  The  Lord  shall  go  forth  as 
a  mighty  man;  he  shall  stir  up  ^jealousy  like  a  man 
of  war :  he  shall  cry,  yea,  he  shall  shout  aloud ;  he 

14  shall  do  mightily  against  his  enemies.  I  have  long 
time  holden  my  peace ;  I  have  been  still,  and 
refrained  myself:  now  will  I  cry  out  like  a  travail- 

15ing  woman;  I  will  'gasp  and  pant  together.  I  will 
make  waste  mountains  and  hills,  and  dry  up  all 
their  herbs ;  and  I  will  make  the  rivers  islands,  and 

16  will  dry  up  the  pools.  And  I  will  bring  the  blind 
by  a  way  that  they  know  not ;  in  paths  that  they 
know  not  will  I  lead  them :  I  will  make  darkness 
light  before  them,  and  crooked  places  straight. 
These  things  will  I  do,  ^and  I  will  not  forsake  them. 

17  They  shall  be  turned  back,  they  shall  be  greatly 
ashamed,  that  trust  in  graven  images,  that  say  unto 
molten  images.  Ye  are  our  gods. 

18  Hear,  ye  deaf;  and  look,  ye  blind,  that  ye  may 
19 see.     Who  is   blind,  but  my  servant?   or  deaf,  as 

my  messenger  that  I  send  ?  who  is  blind  as  he  that 

is   'at    peace    vnth    me,   and    blind  as  the    Lord's 

20 servant?  Thou  seest  many  things,  but  thou  observest 

21  not;   his  ears  are    open,  but  he  heareth    not.     It 

pleased   the  Loed,  for  his   righteousness'  sake,   to 

22 'magnify  the  law,  and    make   it   honourable.     But 

this  is  a  people  robbed  and  spoiled ;  they  are  all  of 

them  snared  in  holes,  and  they  are  hid  in   prison 

houses:  they  are  for  a  prey,  and   none  delivereth; 

23  for  a  spoil,  and  none  saith.  Restore.  Who  is  there 
among  you  that  will  give   ear  to  this?    that  will 

24  hearken  and  hear  for  the  time  to  come  ?  Who  gave 
Ja'cob  for  a  spoil,  and  Is'ra-el  to  the  robbers  ?  did 
not  the  Lord?  he  against  whom  we  have  sinned, 
and   in  whose  ways  they  would  not  walk,  neither 

25  were  they  obedient  unto  his  'law.  Therefore  he 
poured  upon  him  the  fury  of  his  anger,  and  the 
strength  of  battle;  and  it  set  him  on  fire  round 
about,  yet  he  knew  not ;  and  it  burned  him,  yet  he 
laid  it  not  to  heart. 

^^     But  now  thus  saith  the  Loed  that  created  thee, 

0  Ja'cob,  and  he  that  formed  thee,  O  Is'ra-el :  Fear 
not,  for  I  have  redeemed  thee ;  I  have  called  thee 

2  by  thy  name,  thou  art  mine.  When  thou  passest 
through  the  waters,  I  will  be  with  thee;  and  through 
the  rivers,  they  shall  not  overflow  thee :  when  thou 
walkest  through  the  fire,  thou  shalt  not  be  burned ; 

3  neither  shall  the  flame  kindle  upon  thee.  For  I  am 
the  Loed  thy  God,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  thy 
saviour;     I    have    given    E^gypt   as   thy   ransom, 

4  E-thi-o'pi-a  and  Se'ba  for  thee.  Since  thou  hast  been 
precious  in  my  sight,  ^and  honourable,  and  I  have 
loved  thee ;  therefore  will  I  give  men  for  thee,  and 

5  peoples  for  thy  life.     Fear  not ;  for  I  am  with  thee : 

1  will  bring  thy  seed  from  the  east,  and  gather  thee 

6  from  the  west ;  I  will  say  to  the  north.  Give  up ; 
and  to  the  south,  Keep  not  back ;  bring  my  sons 
from  fer,  and   my  daughters   from  the  end    of  the 

7 earth;  every  one  that  is  called  by  my  name,  and 
whom  I  have  created  for  my  glory;  I  have  formed 

8  him ;  yea,  I  have  made  him.  Bring  forth  the  blind 
people  that  have  eyes,  and  the  deaf  that  have  ears.

S  Lei  aii  tlie  loataoiia  iDe  gatjtiarecll  together,  and  let  the  people ! 
be  assembled :  "who  among  them  can  declare  this,  and  shew 
us  former  things  ?  let  them  bring  forth  their  witnesses,  that 
they  may  be  justified:  or  let  them  hear,  and  say,  It  is  truth. 

10  "Ye  are  my  witnesses,  saith  the  Lord,  'and  my  servant 
whom  I  have  chosen;  that  ye  may  know  and  believe  me, 
and  understand  that  I  am  he :  'before  me  there  was  ||  no 
God  formed,  neither  shall  there  be  after  me. 

11  I,  even  I,  'am  the  Lohd  ;  and  besides  me  there  is  no  saviour. 

12  I  have  declared,  and  have  saved,  and  I  have  shewed, 
when  there  was  no  'strange  god  among  you :  "therefore  ye 
are  my  witnesses,  saith  the  Loed,  that  I  am  God. 

13  "'Yea,  before  the  day  was,  I  am  he ;  and  there  is  none  that 
can  deliver  out  of  my  hand :  I  will  work,  and  who  shall  flet  it  ? 

14  ^Thus  saith  the  Loed,  your  Redeemer,  the  Holy  One 
of  Is'ra-el ;  For  your  sake  I  have  sent  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  have 
brought  down  all  their  fnobles,  and  the  Chal-de'ans,  whose 
cry  is  in  the  ships. 

15  I  am  the  Loed,  your  Holy  One,  the  Creator  of  Is'ra-el, 
your  King. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Loed,  which  'maketh  a  way  in  the  sea, 
and  a  "path  in  the  mighty  waters; 

17  Which  'bringeth  forth  the  chariot  and  horse,  the  army 
and  the  power  ■  they  shall  lie  down  together,  they  shall  not 
rise:  they  are  extinct,  they  are  quenched  as  tow. 

18  T[°E.emember  ye  not  the  former  things,  neither  con- 
sider the  things  of  old. 

19  Behold,  I  will  do  a  •'new  thing;  now  it  shall  spring 
forth ;  shall  ye  not  know  it  ?  'I  will  even  make  a  way  in 
the  wilderness,  and  rivers  in  the  desert. 

20  The  beast  of  the  field  shall  honour  me,  the  dragons  and 
the  II  fowls:  because  ■'^ I  give  waters  in  the  wilderness,  and 
rivers  in  the  desert,  to  give  drink  to  my  people,  my  chosen. 

21  "This  people  have  I  formed  for  myself;  they  shall  shew 
forth  my  praise. 

22  %  But  thou  hast  not  called  upon  me,  O  Ja'cob ;  but  thou 
*hast  been  weary  of  me,  O  Is'ra-el. 

23  'Thou  hast  not  brought  me  the  fsmall  cattle  of  thy 
burnt  offerings;  neither  hast  thou  honored  me  with  thy 
sacrifices.  I  have  not  caused  thee  to  serve  with  an  offering, 
nor  wearied  thee  with  incense. 

24  Thou  hast  bought  me  no  sweet  cane  with  money, 
neither  hast  thou  ffilled  me  with  the  fat  of  thy  sacrifices : 
but  thou  hast  made  me  to  sei-ve  with  thy  sins,  thou  hast 
^wearied  me  with  thine  iniquities. 

25  I,  even  I,  am  he  that  'blotteth  out  thy  transgressions 
'"for  mine  own  sake,  "  and  will  not  remember  thy  sins. 

26  Put  me  in  remembrance :  let  us  plead  together :  declare 
thou,  that  thou  mayest  be  justified. 

27  Thy  first  fiither  hath  sinned,  and  thy  fteachers  have 
transgressed  against  me. 

28  Therefore  °I  have  profaned  the  ||  princes  of  the  sanctuary, 
"and  have  given  Ja'cob  to  the  curse,  and  Is'ra-el  to  reproaches. 

CHAPTER    XIv.IV. 

God  comforteth  the  church  with  his  promises.     The  vanity  of  idols. 

YET    now   hear,   °0   Ja'cob    my    servant;  and    Is'ra-el, 
whom  I  have  chosen  : 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  that  made  thee,  'and  formed  thee 
from  the  womb,  which  will  help  thee ;  Fear  not,  O  Ja'cob, 
my  servant ;  and  thou,  ''Jesh'u-run,  whom  I  have  chosen. 

3  For  I  will  ''pour  water  upon  him  that  is  thirsty,  and 
floods  upon  the  dry  ground :  I  will  poor  my  Spirit  upon  thy 
seed,  and  my  blessing  ujxm  thine  offspring ; 

4  And  they  shall  spring  up  as  among  the  grass,  as  willows 
by  the  watercourses. 

5  One  shall  say,  I  am  the  Lord's;  and  another  shall  call 
himself  by  the  name  of  Ja'cob ;  and  another  shall  subscribe 
with  his  hand  unto  the  Loed,  and  surname  himself  by  the 
name  of  Is'ra-eL 


(^''Let  all  the  nations  be  gathered  together,  and  let 
the  peoples  be  assembled:  who  among  them  can 
declare  this,  and  shew  us  former  things?  let  them 
bring  their  witnesses,  that  they  may   be  justified : 

10  ^or  let  them  hear,  and  say,  It  is  truth.  Ye  are  my 
witnesses,  saith  the  Lord,  and  my  servant  whom  I 
have  chosen :  that  ye  may  know  and  believe  me, 
and  understand  that  I  am  he;  before  me  there  was 

1 1  no  God  formed,  neither  shall  there  be  after  me.  I, 
even  I,  am  the  Lord;  and  beside  me  there  is  no 

12  saviour.  I  have  declared,  and  I  have  saved,  and  I 
have  shewed,  and  there  was  no  strange  god  among 
you :  therefore  ye  are  my  witnesses,  saith  the  Lord, 

13  and  I  am  God.  Yea,  *since  the  day  was  I  am  he ; 
and  there  is  none  that  can  deliver  out  of  my  hand : 
I  will  work,  and  who  shall  *let  it? 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  your  redeemer,  the  Holy 
One  of  Is'ra-el :  For  your  sake  I  have  sent  to  Bab'y- 
lon,  and  I  will  bring  down  'all  of  them  as  fugitives, 
even  the  Chal-de'ans,  in  the  ships  of  their  rejoicing. 

151   am  the  Lord,  your  Holy  One,  the  Creator  of 

16  Is'ra-el,  your  King.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  which 
maketh  a  way  in  the  sea,  and  a  path  in  the  mighty 

17  waters;  *  which  bringeth  forth  the  chariot  and  horse, 
the  array  and  the  power:  they  lie  down  together, 
they    shall    not   rise;    they   are    extinct,    they  are 

18 quenched  as   'flax:   Remember   ye   not   the   former 

19  things,  neither  consider  the  things  of  old.  Behold, 
I  will  do  a  new  thing ;  now  shall  it  spring  forth ; 
shall  ye  not  know  it?     I  will  even  make  a  way  in 

20  the  wilderness,  and  rivers  in  the  desert.  The  beasts 
of  the  field  shall  honour  me,  the  jackals  and  the 
ostriches :  because  I  give  waters  in  the  wilderness, 
and  rivers  in  the  desert,  to  give  drink  to  my  people, 

21  my  chosen :  the  people  which  I  formed  for  myself, 
22*that   they  might  set  forth   my   praise.     Yet   thou 

hast  not  called  upon  me,   O  Ja'cob ;  but  thou  hast 

23  been  weary  of  me,  O  Is'ra-el.  Thou  hast  not 
brought  me  the  small  cattle  of  thy  burnt  offerings ; 
neither  hast  thou  honoured  me  with  thy  sacrifices. 
I  have  not  made  thee  to  serve  with  'offerings,  nor 

24  wearied  thee  with  frankincense.  Thou  hast  bought 
me  no  '"sweet  cane  with  money,  neither  hast  thou 
"filled  me  with  the  fat  of  thy  sacrifices:  but  thou 
hast    made    me  to   serve   with  thy  sins,  thou  hast 

25  wearied  me  with  thine  iniquities.  I,  even  I,  am  he 
that  blotteth  out  thy   transgressions  for  mine  own 

26  sake ;  and  I  will  not  remember  thy  sins.  Put  me 
in    remembrance;   let  us    plead  together:   set   thou 

27 forth  thy  cause,  that  thou  mayest  be  justified.  Thy 
first    father    sinned,    and    thine   '^interpreters   have 

28  transgressed  against  me.  Therefore  I  ''will  profane 
.   .  the   '^princes  of  the  sanctuary,  and   I  "will  make 

■^■^  Ja'cob  a  '*curse,and  Is'ra-el  a  reviling.  Yetnowhear, 
O  Ja'cob  my  servant;  and   Is'ra-el,  whom   I  have 

2  chosen :  thus  saith  the  Lord  that  made  thee,  and 
formed  thee  from  the  womb,  who  will  help  thee: 
Fear  not,  O  Ja'cob  my  servant ;  and  thou,  Jesh'u-run, 

3  whom  I  have  chosen.  For  I  will  pour  water  upon 
"him  that  is  thirsty,  and  streams  upon  the  dry 
ground:  I  will  pour  my  spirit  upon  thy  seed,  and 

4 my  blessing  upon  thine  offspring:  and  they  shall 
spring  up  among  the  grass,  as  willows  by  the  water- 

5 courses.  One  shall  say,  I  am  the  Lord's;  and 
another  shall  "call  himself  by  the  name  of  Ja'cob ; 
and  another  shall  "subscribe  with  his  hand  unto  the 
Lord,  and  ^surname  himsdf  by  the  name  of  Is'ra-el.

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  tne  King  of  Is'ra-el,  'and  bis  Re- 
deemer the  Lord  of  hosts;  ^1  am  the  first,  and  I  am  the 
last;  and  besides  me  there  is  no  God. 

7  And  'who,  as  I,  shall  call,  and  shall  declare  it,  and  set 
it  in  order  for  me,  since  I  appointed  the  ancient  people? 
and  the  things  that  are  coming,  and  shall  come,  let  them 
shew  unto  them. 

8  Fear  ye  not,  neither  be  afraid:  *have  not  I  told  tnee 
from  that  time,  and  have  declared  it?  *ye  are  even  my 
witnesses.  Is  there  a  God  besides  me?  yea,  Hhere  is  no 
fGod;  I  know  not  any. 

9  "[['They  that  make  a  graven  image  are  all  of  them  van- 
ity ;  and  their  fdelectable  things  shall  not  profit ;  and  they 
are  their  own  witnesses ;  ""they  see  not,  nor  know,  that  they 
may  be  ashamed. 

10  Who  hath  formed  a  god,  or  molten  a  graven  image  "that 
is  profitable  for  nothing? 

11  Behold,  all  his  fellows  shall  be  "ashamed:  and  the 
workmen,  they  are  of  men :  let  them  all  be  gathered  to- 
gether, let  them  stand  up;  yet  ihey  shall  fear,  and  they  shall 
be  ashamed  together. 

12  ''The  smith  ||  with  the  tongs  both  worketh  in  the  coals, 
and  fashioneth  it  with  hammers,  and  worketh  it  with  the 
strength  of  his  arms:  yea,  he  is  hungry,  and  his  strength 
faileth  :  he  drinketh  no  water,  and  is  faint. 

13  The  carpenter  stretcheth  out  his  rule ;  he  marketh  it 
out  with  the  line ;  he  fitteth  it  with  planes,  and  he  marketh 
it  out  with  the  compass,  and  maketh  it  after  the  figure  of  a 
man,  according  to  the  beauty  of  a  man;  that  it  may  remain 
in  the  house. 

14  He  heweth  him  down  cedars,  and  taketh  the  cypress  and 
the  oak,  which  he  ||  strengtheneth  for  himself  among  the  trees  of 
the  forest :  he  planteth  an  ash,  and  the  rain  doth  nourish  it. 

15  Then  shall  it  be  for  a  man  to  burn:  for  he  will  take 
thereof,  and  warm  himself;  yea,  he  kindleth  it,  and  baketh 
bread ;  yea,  he  maketh  a  god,  and  worshippeth  U;  he 
maketh  it  a  graven  image,  and  faileth  down  thereto. 

16  He  burneth  part  thereof  in  the  fire ;  with  part  thereof  he 
eateth  flesh ;  he  roasteth  roast,  and  is  satisfied :  yea,  he  warm- 
eth  himself,  and  saith,  Aha,  I  am  warm,  I  have  seen  the  fire : 

17  And  the  residue  thereof  he  maketh  a  god,  even  his  graven 
image:  he  faileth  down  unto  it,  and  worshippeth  it,  and 
prayeth  unto  it,  and  saith.  Deliver  me ;  for  thou  art  my  god. 

18  «They  have  not  known  nor  understood:  for  'he  hath 
fshut  their  eyes  that  they  cannot  see ;  and  their  hearts,  that 
they  cannot  understand. 

19  And  none  fconsidereth  in  his  heart,  neither  is  there 
knowledge  nor  understanding  to  say,  I  have  burned  part  of 
it  in  the  fire ;  yea,  also  V  have  baked  bread  upon  the  coals 
thereof;  I  have  roasted  flesh,  and  eaten  it ;  and  shall  I  make 
the  residue  thereof  an  abomination  ?  shall  I  fell  down  to 
fthe  stock  of  a  tree  ? 

20  He  feedeth  on  ashes :  "a  deceived  heart  hath  turned  him 
aside,  that  he  cannot  deliver  his  soul,  nor  say.  Is  there  not  a 
lie  in  my  right  hand? 

21  ^Remember  these,  O  Ja'cob  and  Is'ra-el ;  for  "thou  art 
my  servant :  I  have  formed  thee ;  thou  art  my  servant :  O 
Is'ra-el,  thou  shalt  not  be  forgotten  of  me. 

22  ''I  have  blotted  out,  as  a  thick  cloud,  thy  transgres- 
sions, and,  as  a  cloud,  thy  sins:  return  unto  me;  for  "I  nave 
redeemed  thee. 

23  'Sing,  O  ye  heavens ;  for  the  Lord  hath  done  it  : 
shout,  ye  lower  parts  of  the  earth:  break  forth  into  sing- 
ing, ye  mountains,  O  forest,  and  every  tree  therein :  for  the 
Lord  hath  redeemed  Ja'cob,  and  glorified  himself  in  Is'ra-el. 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  "thy  Redeemer,  and  'he  that 
formed  thee  from  the  womb,  I  am  the  Lord  that  maketh 
all  things;  1;hat  stretcheth  forth  the  heavens  alone;  that 
spreadetb  abroad  the  earth  by  myself; 


6  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  King  of  Is'ra-el,  and  his 
redeemer  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  I  am  the  first,  and  I 

7am  the  last;  and  beside  me  there  is  no  God.  'And 
who,  as  I,  shall  call,  and  shall  declare  it,  and  set 
it  in  order  for  me,  since  I  appointed  the  ancient 
people?  and  the  things  that  are  coming,  and  that 

8  shall  come  to  pass,  let  them  ^declare.  Fear  ye  not, 
neither  be  afraid:  have  I  not  declared  unto  thee  of 
old,  and  shewed.it?  and  ye  are  my  witnesses.  Is 
there  a  God  beside  me?  yea,  there  is  no  Rock;  I 

9  know  not  any.  They  that  fashion  a  graven  image 
are  all  of  them  'vanity ;  and  their  delectable  things 
shall  not  profit:  and  their  own  witnesses  see  not, 

10 nor  know;  that  they  may  be  ashamed.  Who  hath 
fashioned  a  god,  or  molten  a  graven  image  that  is 

11  profitable  for  nothing?  Behold,  ''all  his  fellows  shall 
be  ashamed ;  and  the  workmen,  they  are  of  men : 
let  them  all  be  gathered  together,  let  them  stand 
up;  they  shall  fear,  they  shall  be  ashamed  together. 

12  The  smith  ''maketh  an  axe,  and  worketh  in  the  coals, 
and  fashioneth  it  with  hammers,  and  worketh  it 
with  his  strong  arm :  yea,  he  is  hungry,  and  his 
strength  faileth ;  he  drinketh  no  water,  and  is  faint. 

13  The  carpenter  stretcheth  out  a  line ;  he  marketh  it 
out  with  'a  pencil;  he  shapeth  it  with  planes,  and 
he  marketh  it  out  with  the  compasses,  and  shapeth  it 
after  the  figure  of  a  man,  according  to  the  beauty  or 

14  a  man,  to  dwell  in  the  house.  He  heweth  him  down 
cedars,  and  taketh  the  holm  tree  and  the  oak,  and 
strengtheneth  for  himself  one  among  the  trees  of  the 
forest:    he  planteth  'a  fir  tree,  and  the  rain   doth 

15  nourish  it.  Then  shall  it  be  for  a  man  to  burn ; 
and  he  taketh  thereof,  and  warmeth  himself;  yea, 
he  kindleth  it,  and  baketh  bread:  yea,  he  maketh 
a  god  and  worshippeth  it;   he  maketh  it  a  graven 

16  image,  and  faileth  down  thereto.  He  burneth 
*part  thereof  in  the  fire ;  with  'part  thereof  he  eateth 
flesh ;  he  roasteth  roast,  and  is  satisfied :  yea,  he 
warmeth  himself,  and  saith.   Aha,   I  am  Avarm,  I 

17 have  seen  the  fire:  and  the  residue  thereof  he 
maketh  a  god,  even  his  graven  image:  he  faileth 
down  unto  it  and  worshippeth,  and  irayeth  unto  it, 

18 and  saith.  Deliver  me;  for  thou  art  my  god.  They 
know  not  neither  do  they  consider:  for  he  hath 
'shut  their  eyes,  that  they  cannot  see;    and   their 

19hearts  that  they  cannot  understand.  And  none 
calleth  to  mind,  neither  is  there  knowledge  nor 
understanding  to  say,  I  have  burnod  part  of  it  in 
the  fire;  yea,  also  I  have  baked  bread  upon  the  coals 
thereof;  I  have  roasted  flesh  and  eaten  it :  and  shall 
I  make  the  residue  thereof  an  abomination  ?  shall  I 

20 fell  down  to  the  stock  of  a  tree?  He  feedeth  on 
ashes;  a  deceived  heart  hath  turned  him  aside,  that 
he  cannot  deliver  his  soul,  nor  say,  Is  there  not  a 
lie  in  my  right  hand? 

21  Remember  these  things,  O  Ja'cob;  and  Is'ra-el, 
for  thou  art  my  servant :  I  have  formed  thee ;  thou 
art  my  servant :  O  Is'ra-el,  '"thou  shalt  not  be  forgot- 

22  ten  of  me.  I  have  blotted  out,  as  a  thick  cloud,  thy 
transgressions,  and,  as  a  cloud,  thy  sins:  return  unto 

23  me ;  for  I  have  redeemed  thee.  Sing,  O  ye  heavens, 
for  the  Lord  hath  done  it ;  shout,  ye  lower  parts  of

O  forest,  and  every  tree  therein  :  for  the  Lord  hath 
redeemed  Ja'cob,  and  will  glorify  himself  in  Is'ra-el. 

24  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  thy  redeemer,  and  he  that 
formed  thee  from  the  womb :  I  am  the  Lord,  that  mak- 
eth all  things ;  that  stretcheth  forth  the  heavens  alone ; 
that  spreadeth  abroad  the  earth;  "who  is  with  me?

25  That  ''frustrateth  the  tokens  'of  the  liars,  and  maketh 
diviners  mad ;  that  turneth  wise  men  backward,  ■'and  maketh 
their  knowledge  foolish; 

26  "That  oonfirmeth  the  word  of  his  servant,  and  performeth 
the  counsel  of  his  messengers;  that  saith  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
Thou  shalt  be  inhabited ;  and  to  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  Ye  shall 
be  built,  and  I  will  raise  up  the  fdecayed  places  thereof: 

27  *That  saith  to  the  deep.  Be  dry,  and  I  will  dry  up  thy 
rivers  : 

28  That  saith  of  Cy'rus,  He  is  my  shepherd,  and  shall  per- 
form all  my  pleasure :  even  saying  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  *Thou  shalt 
be  built;  and  to  the  temple.  Thy  foundation  shall  be  laid. 

CHAPTER    XLV. 

God  calleth  Cyrus  for  his  churches  sake. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord  to  his  anointed,  to  Cy'rus,  whose 
"right  hand  I  ||have  holden,  Ho  subdue  nations  before 
him ;  and  I  will  loose  the  loins  of  kings,  to  open  before  him 
the  twoleaved  gates,  and  the  gates  shall  not  be  shut ; 

2  I  will  go  before  thee,  "and  make  the  crooked  places 
straight:  ''I  will  break  in  pieces  the  gates  of  brass, and  cut 
in  sunder  the  bars  of  iron : 

3  And  I  will  give  thee  the  treasures  of  darkness,  and 
hidden  riches  of  secret  places,  'that  thou  mayest  know  that 
I,  the  Lord,  which  -^call  thee  by  thy  name,  am  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el. 

4  For  "Ja'cob  my  servant's  sake,  and  Is'ra-el  mine  elect,  I 
have  even  called  thee  by  thy  name ;  I  have  surnamed  thee, 
though  thou  hast  ''not  known  me. 

5  *\\1  'am  the  Lord,  and  Hhere  is  none  else,  there  is  no  God 
besides  me :  'I  girded  thee,  though  thou  hast  not  known  me : 

6  "That  they  may  know  from  the  rising  of  the  sun,  and 
from  the  west,  that  there  is  none  besides  me.  I  am  the 
Lord,  and  there  is  none  else. 

7  I  form  the  light,  and  create  darkness:  I  make  peace, 
and  "create  evil :  I  the  Lord  do  all  these  things. 

8  "Drop  down,  ye  heavens,  from  above,  and  let  the  skies 
pour  down  righteousness :  let  the  earth  open,  and  let  them 
bring  forth  salvation,  and  let  righteousness  spring  up  to- 
gether; I  the  Lord 'have  created  it. 

9  Woe  unto  him  that  striveth  with  "his  Maker!  Let  the 
potsherd  strive  with  the  potsherds  of  the  earth.  'Shall  the 
clay  say  to  him  that  fashioneth  it.  What  makest  thou?  or 
thy  work.  He  hath  no  hands? 

10  Woe  unto  him  that  saith  unto  his  father.  What  begettest 
thou?  or  to  the  woman.  What  hast  thou  brought  forth? 

1 1  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el  and  his 
Maker,  Ask  me  of  things  to  come  concerning  'my  sons,  and 
concerning  'the  work  of  my  hands  command  ye  me. 

12  'I  have  made  the  earth,  and  "created  man  upon  it:  I, 
even  my  hands,  have  stretched  out  the  heavens,  and  "'all  their 
host  have  I  commanded. 

13  "I  have  raised  him  up  in  righteousness,  and  I  will 
II  direct  all  his  ways:  he  shall  "build  my  city,  and  he  shall 
let  go  my  captives,  "not  for  price  nor  reward,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  'The  labour  of  E'gypt,  and 
merchandise  of  E-thi-o'pi-a  and  of  the  Sa-be'ans,  men  of 
stature,  shall  come  over  unto  thee,  and  they  shall  be  thine : 
they  shall  come  after  thee ;  'in  chains  they  shall  come  over, 
and  they  shall  fall  down  unto  thee,  they  shall  make  suppli- 
cation unto  thee,  saying,  ''Surely  God  is  in  thee ;  and  Hhere 
is  none  else,  there  is  no  God. 

15  Verily  thou  art  a  God  ^that  hidest  thyself,  O  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  the  Saviour. 

1 6  They  shall  be  ashamed,  and  also  confounded,  all  of  them : 
they  shall  go  to  confusion  together  that  are  "makers  of  idols. 

17  ''But  Is'ra-el  shall  be  saved  in  the  Lord  with  an  ever- 
lasting salvation :  ye  shall  not  be  ashamed  nor  confounded 
world  without  end. 


25  that  frustrateth  the  tokens  of  the  Uiars,  and  maketh 
diviners  mad ;  that  turneth  wise  men  backward,  and 

26  maketh  their  knowledge  foolish :  that  confirmeth  the 
word  of  his  servant,  and  performeth  the  counsel  of 
his  messengers ;  that  saith  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  She  shall 
be  inhabited ;  and  of  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  They  shall 
be  built,  and  I  will  raise  up  the  waste  places  thereof 

27  that  saith  to  the  deep.  Be  dry,  and  I  will  dry  up  thy 

28  rivers :  that  saith  of  ^Cy'rus,  He  is  my  shepherd,  and 
shall  perform  all  my  pleasure :  even  saying  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  She  shall  be  built;  'and  to  the  temple. 
Thy  foundation  shall  be  laid. 

^O  Thus  saith  the  Lord  to  his  anointed,  to  Cy'rus, 
whose  right  hand  I  have  holden,  to  subdue  nations 
before  him,  and  I  will  loose  the  loins  of  kings;  to 
open  the  doors  before  him,  and  the  gates  shall  not 

2 be  shut;  I  will  go  before  thee,  and  make  the 
rugged  places  plain:  I  will  break  in  pieces  the 
doors  of  brass,  and  cut  in  sunder  the  bars  of  iron : 

Sand  I  will  give  thee  the  treasures  of  darkness,  and 
hidden  riches  of  secret  places,  that  thou  mayest 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  which  call  thee  by  thy 

4  name,  even  the  God  of  Is'ra-el.     For  Ja'cob  my  serv 
ant's  sake,  and   Is'ra-el  my  chosen,  I  have  called 
thee  by  thy  name :  I  have  surnamed  thee,  though 

5  thou  hast  not  known  me.  I  am  the  Lord,  and 
there  is  none  else ;  beside  me  there  is  no  God :  I 
will   gird   thee,  though   thou  hast  not   known  me 

6  that  they  may  know  from  the  rising  of  the  sun,  and 
from  the  west,  that  there  is  none  beside  me :  I  am 

7  the  Lord,  and  there  is  none  else.  I  form  the  light 
and  create  darkness ;  I  make  peace,  and  create  evil ; 
I  am  the  Lord,  that  doeth  all  these  things. 

8  Drop  down,  ye  heavens,  from  above,  and  let  the 
skies  pour  down  righteousness:  let  the  earth  open, 
that  they  may  *bring  forth  salvation,  and  let  her 
cause  right«ousness  to  spring  up  together;  I  the 
Lord  have  created  it. 

9  Woe  unto  him  that  striveth  with  his  Maker!  a 
potsherd  among  the  potsherds  of  the  earth !  Shall 
the  clay  say  to  him  that  fashioneth  it.  What  makest 

10 thou?  or  thy  work.  He  hath  no  hands?  Woe  unto 
him  that  saith  unto  a  father.  What  begettest  thou? 

11  or  to  a  woman.  With  what  travailest  thou?  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  and  his 
Maker:  Ask  me  of  the  things  that  are  to  come; 
concerning   my  sons,  and   concerning  the  work  of 

12  my  hands,  command  ye  me.  I  have  made  the 
earth,  and  created  man  upon  it:  I,  even  my  hands, 
have   stretched   out  the  heavens,  and  all  their  host 

13  have  I  commanded.  I  have  raised  him  up  in  right- 
eousness, and  I  will  make  straight  all  his  ways:  he 
shall  build  my  city,  and  he  shall  let  my  exiles  go  free, 
not  for  price  nor  reward,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  labour  of  E'gypt,  and 
the  merchandise  of  E-thi-o'pi-a,and  the  Sa-be'ans,  men 
of  stature,  shall  come  over  unto  thee,  and  they  shall 
be  thine ;  they  shall  go  after  thee ;  in  chains  they 
shall  come  over :  and  they  shall  fall  down  unto 
thee,  they  shall  make  supplication  unto  thee,  saying, 
Surely  God  is  in  thee ;  and  there  is  none  else,  there 

15  is  no  God.     Verily  thou  art  a  God  that  hidest  thy- 

16  self,  O  God  of  Is'ra-el,  the  Saviour.  They  shall  be 
ashamed,  yea,  confounded,  all  of  them :  they  shall  go 
into  confusion  together  that  are   makers   of  idols. 

1 7  But  Is'ra-el  shall  be  saved  by  the  Lord  with  an 
everlasting  salvation  :  ye  shall  not  be  ashamed  nor 
confounded  world  without  end.  t

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  'that  created  the  heavens; 
God  himself  that  formed  the  earth  and  made  it;  he  hath 
established  it,  he  created  it  not  in  vain,  he  formed  it  to  be 
inhabited :  *I  am  the  Lord,  and  there  is  none  else. 

19  1  have  not  spoken  in  'secret,  in  a  dark  place  of  the  earth  : 
I  said  not  unto  the  seed  of  Ja'cob,  Seek  ye  me  in  vain :  ""I 
the  Lord  speak  righteousness,  I  declare  things  that  are  right. 

20  ^Assemble  yourselves  and  come;  draw  near  together, 
ye  that  are  escaped  of  the  nations:  "they  have  no  knowledge 
that  set  up  the  wood  of  their  graven  image,  and  pray  unto  a 
god  that  cannot  save. 

21  Tell  ye,  and  bring  them  near;  yea,  let  them  talce  coun- 
sel together:  "who  hath  declared  this  from  ancient  time? 
who  hath  told  it  from  that  time  ?  have  not  I  the  Lord  ?  ''and 
there  is  no  God  else  besides  me;  a  just  God  and  a  Saviour; 
there  is  none  besides  me. 

22  'Look  unto  me,  and  be  ye  saved,  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth :  for  I  am  God,  and  there  is  none  else. 

23  'I  have  sworn  by  myself,  the  word  is  gone  out  of  my 
mouth  in  righteousness,  and  shall  not  return.  That  unto  me 
every  'knee  shall  bow,  'every  tongue  shall  swear. 

24  II  Surely  shall  one  say.  In  the  Lord  have  I  "Righteous- 
ness and  strength:  even  to  him  shall  men  come;  and  ''all 
that  are  incensed  against  him  shall  be  ashamed. 

25  "In  the  Lord  shall  all  the  seed  of  Is'ra-el  be  justified, 
and  'shall  glory. 

CHAPTER    XLVI. 

Idols  not  comparable  to  God  /or  power. 

BEL  "boweth  down,  Ne'bo  stoopeth,  their  idols  were  upon 
the  beasts,  and  upon  the  cattle:    your  carriages  were 
heavy  laden ;  Hhey  are  a  burden  to  the  weary  beast. 

2  They  stoop,  they  bow  down  together;  they  could  not 
deliver  the  burden,  "^but  fthemselves  are  gone  into  captivity. 

3  ^Hearken  unto  me,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  all  the  rem- 
nant of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  ''which  are  borne  by  me  from 
the  belly,  which  are  carried  from  the  womb : 

4  And  even  to  your  old  age  'I  am  he :  and  even  to  hoar 
hairs •'^will  I  carry  you:  I  have  made,  and  I  will  bear;  even 
I  will  carry,  and  will  deliver  you. 

5  ^"To  whom  will  ye  liken  me,  and  make  me  equal,  and 
compare  me,  that  we  may  be  like? 

6  *They  lavish  gold  out  of  the  bag,  and  weigh  silver  in 
the  balance,  and  hire  a  goldsmith ;  and  he  maketh  it  a  god : 
they  fall  down,  yea,  they  worship. 

7  *They  bear  him  upon  the  shoulder,  they  carry  him,  and 
set  him  in  his  place,  and  he  standeth ;  from  his  place  shall 
he  not  remove :  yea,  ''one  shall  cry  unto  him,  yet  can  he  not 
answer,  nor  save  him  out  of  his  trouble. 

8  'Remember  this,  and  shew  yourselves  men:  bring  it 
again  to  mind,  O  ye  transgressors. 

9  "Remember  the  former  things  of  old :  for  I  am  God, 
and  "there  is  none  else  ;  /  am  God,  and  there  is  none  like  me, 

10  "Declaring  the  end  from  the  beginning,  and  from  ancient 
times  the  things  that  are  not  yet  done,  saying,  "My  counsel 
shall  stand,  and  I  will  do  all  my  pleasure : 

1 1  Calling  a  ravenous  bird  'from  the  eastjfthe  man  'that  exe- 
cuteth  my  counsel  from  a  far  country :  yea,  'I  have  spoken  it,  I 
will  also  bring  it  to  pass;  I  have  purposed t<,  I  will  also  do  it. 

12  ^Hearken  unto  me,  ye  'stouthearted,  "that  are  far  from 
righteousness : 

13'I  bring  near  my  righteousness;  it  shall  not  be  far  off, 
and  my  salvation  "shall  not  tarry :  and  I  will  place  'salvation 
in  Zi'on  for  Is'ra-el  my  glory. 

CHAPTER  XLVII. 

God^s  Judgment  upon  Babylon  and  Ckaldea. 

COME  "down,  and  'sit  in  the  dust,  O  virgin  daughter  of 
Bab'y-lon,  sit  on  the  ground :  there  is  no  throne,  O 
daughter  of  the  Chal-de'ans:  for  thou  shalt  no  more  be 
called  tender  and  delicate. 


18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  that  created  the  heavens; 
he  is  God;  that  formed  the  earth  and  made  it;  he 
established  it,  he  created  it  not  'a  waste,  he  formed 
it  to  be  inhabited:    I  am  the  Lord;   and  there  is 

19  none  else.  I  have  not  spoken  in  secret,  in  a  place 
of  the  land  of  darkness ;  I  said  not  unto  the  seed  of 
Ja'cob,  Seek  ye  me  ^in  vain :  I  the  Lord  speak 
righteousness,    I     declare    things    that    are    right. 

20  Assemble  yourselves  and  come ;  draw  near  to- 
gether, ye  that  are  escaped  of  the  nations:  they 
have  no  knowledge  that  carry  the  wood  of  their 
graven    image,   and    pray    unto   a  god  that  cannot 

21  save.  Declare  ye,  and  ^bring  it  forth ;  yea,  let  them 
take  counsel  together :  who  hath  shewed  this  from 
ancient  time  ?  who  hath  declared  it  of  old  ?  have 
not  I  the  Lord?  and  there  is  no  God  else  beside 
me :  a  just  God  and  a  saviour;  there  is  none  beside 

22  me.  Look  unto  me,  and  be  ye  saved,  all  the  ends 
of  the  earth :  for  I  am  God,  and  there  is  none  else 

23  By  myself  have  I  sworn,  *the  word  is  gone  forth 
from  my  mouth  in  righteousness,  and  shall  not 
return,  that  unto  me  every  knee  shall  bow,  every 

24  tongue  shall  swear.  Only  in  the  Lord,  'shall  one 
say  'unto  me,  is  righteousness  and  strength :  even  to 
him    shall   men  come,  and    all    they  that  were  in 

25  censed  against  him  shall  be  ashamed.  In  the  Lord 
shall  all  the  seed  of  Is'ra-el  be  justified,  and  shall  glory. 

^O  Bel  boweth  down,  Ne'bo  stoopeth;  their  idols 
are  upon  the  beasts,  and  upon  the  cattle :  the  things 
that  ye  carried  about  are  made  a  load,  a  burden  to  the 

2  weary  beast.     They  stoop,  they  bow  down  together 
they  could  not  deliver  the  burden,  but  themselves 
are  gone  into  captivity. 

3  Hearken  unto  me,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  all  the 
remnant  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  which  have  been 
borne  by  me  from  the  belly,  which  have  been  carried 

4  from  the  womb :  and  even  to  old  age  I  am  he,  and 
even  to  hoar  hairs  will  I  carry  you:  I  have  made, 
and  I  will  bear;  yea,  I  will  carry,  and  will  deliver. 

5  To  whom  will  ye  liken  me,  and  make  me  equal, 
6 and  compare  me,  that  we  may  be  like?     Such  as' 

lavish  gold  out  of  the  bag,  and  weigh  silver  in  the 
balance,  they  hire  a  goldsmith,  and  he  maketh  it  a 
7 god;  they  fall  down,  yea,  they  worship.  They  bear 
him  upon  the  shoulder,  they  carry  him,  and  set  him 
in  his  place,  and  he  standeth;  from  his  place  shall 
he  not  remove :  yea,  one  shall  cry  unto  him,  yet 
can  he  not  answer,  nor  save  him  out  of  his  trouble. 

8  Remember  this,  and  'shew  yourselves  men  :  bring 

9  it  again  to  mind,  O  ye  transgressors.  Remember 
the  former  things  of  old:  'for  I  am  God,  and  there 
is  none  else ;  I  am  God,  and  there  is  none  like  me ; 

10  declaring  the  end  from  the  beginning,  and  from 
ancient  times  things  that  are  not  yd  done;  saying, 
My   counsel    shall    stand,   and   I   will   do    all    my 

1 1  pleasure :  calling  a  ravenous  bird  from  the  east, 
the  man  of  'my  counsel  from  a  far  country ;  yea,  I 
have  spoken,  I  will  also  bring  it  to  pass;  I  have 

12purpo.sed,  I  will  also  do  it.     Hearken  unto  me,  ye 

13 stouthearted,    that    are    far    from    righteousness:  I 

bring  near  my  righteousness,  it  shall  not  be  far  off, 

and  my  salvation  shall  not  tarry ;  and  I  will  "place 

salvation  in  Zi'on  for  Is'ra-el  my  glory.

6  ^'I  was  wroth  with  my  people,  *I  have  polluted  mine

CHAPTER    XLVIII. 

God  saveth  his  people  for  his  own  sake. 

HEAR  ye  this,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  which  are  called  by 
the  name  of  Is'ra-el,  and  "are  come  forth  out  of  the  waters 
of  Ju'dah,  'which  swear  by  the  name  of  the  Lord,  and 
make  mention  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  'but  not  in  truth,  nor 
in  righteousness. 

2  For  they  call  themselves  ''of  the  holy  city,  and  'stay 
themselves  upon  the  God  of  Is'ra-el:  The  Lord  of  hosts  is 
his  name. 

3  ^1  have  declared  the  former  things  from  the  beginning; 
and  they  went  forth  out  of  my  mouth,  and  I  shewed  them; 
I  did  them  suddenly,  "and  they  came  to  pass. 

4  Because  I  knew  that  thou  art  fobstinate,  and  *thy  neck 
is  an  iron  sinew,  and  thy  brow  brass ; 

5  'I  have  even  from  the  beginning  declared  it  to  thee ;  be- 
fore it  came  to  jiass  I  shewed  it  thee:  lest  thou  shouldest 
say,  Mine  idol  hath  done  them ;  and  my  graven  image, 
and  my  molten  image,  hath  commanded  them. 

6  Thou  hast  heard,  see  all  this ;  and  will  not  ye  declare 
itf  I  have  shewed  thee  new  things  from  this  time,  even 
hidden  things,  and  thou  didst  not  know  them. 


2  Take  the  millstones,  and  grind  meal :  remove  thy 
veil,  strip  off  the  train,  uncover  the  leg,  pass  through 

3  the  rivers.  Thy  nakedness  shall  be  uncovered,  yea, 
thy  shame  shall  be  seen :  I  will  take  vengeance,  and 

4  will  'accept  no  man.     Our  redeemer,   the   Lord  of 

5  hosts  is  his  name,  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el.  Sit  thou 
silent,  and  get  thee  into  darkness,  O  daughter  of  the 
Chal-de'ans:  for  thou  shalt  no  more   be  called  The 

6  lady  of  kingdoms.  I  was  wroth  with  my  people,  I 
profaned  my  inheritance,  and  gave  them  into  thine 
hand:  thou  didst  shew  them  no  mercy:    upon   the 

7  aged  hast  thou  very  heavily  laid  thy  yoke.  And 
thou  saidst,  I  shall  be  a  lady  for  ever:  so  that  thou 
didst  not  lay  these  things  to  thy  heart,  neither  didst 
remember  the  latter  end  thereof. 

8  Now  therefore  hear  this,  thou  that  art  given  to 
pleasures,  that  ^dwellest  carelessly,  that  sayest  in 
thine  heart,  I  am,  and  there  is  none  else  beside  me ; 
I  shall  not  sit  as  a  widow,  neither  shall  I  know  the 

9  loss  of  children :  but  these  two  things  shall  come 
to  thee  in  a  moment  in  one  day,  the  loss  of  children, 
and  widowhood:  in  their  full  measure  shall  they 
come  upon  thee,  'despite  of  the  multitude  of  thy 
sorceries,  and  the  great  abundance  of  thine  enchant- 

lOments.  For  thou  hast  trusted  in  thy  wickedness; 
thou  hast  said.  None  seeth  me;  thy  wisdom  and 
thy  knowledge,  it  hath  perverted  thee:  and  thou 
hast  said  in  thine  heart,  I  am,  and  there  is  none  else 

11  beside  me.  Therefore  shall  evil  come  upon  thee; 
thou  shalt  not  know  *the  dawning  thereof:  and 
mischief  shall  fall  upon  thee ;  thou  shalt  not  be 
able  to  put  it  away:  and  desolation  shall  come 
upon    thee   suddenly,    which    thou     knowest    not. 

12  Stand  now  with  thine  enchantments,  and  with  the 
multitude  of  thy  sorceries,  wherein  thou  hast 
laboured    from  thy  youth;  if  so  be  thou    shalt   be 

13  able  to  profit,  if  so  be  thou  mayest  'prevail.  Thou 
art  wearied  in  the  multitude  of  thy  counsels :  let 
now  the  ^astrologers,  the  stargazers,  the  monthly 
prognosticators,   stand  up,  and  save  thee   from  the 

14  things  that  shall  come  upon  thee.  Behold,  they  shall 
be  as  stubble ;  the  fire  shall  burn  them ;  they  shall 
not  deliver  themselves  from  the  power  of  the  flame  : 
it  shall  not  be  a  coal  to  warm  at,  nor  a   fire    to  sit 

15  before.  Thus  shall  the  things  be  unto  thee  wherein 
thou  hast  laboured:  they  that  have  trafficked  with 
thee  from  thy  youth  shall  wander  every  one  to  ''his 
quarter;  there  shall  be  none  to  save  thee. 

^O  Hear  ye  this,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  which  are  called 
by  the  name  of  Is'ra-el,  and  are  come  forth  out  of  the 
waters  of  Ju'dah ;  which  swear  by  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  and  make  mention  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 

2  but  not  in  truth,  nor  in  righteousness.  For  they 
call  themselves  of  the  holy  city,  and  stay  themselves 
upon  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;   the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his 

3  name.  I  have  declared  the  former  things  from  of 
old ;  yea,  they  went  forth  out  of  my  mouth,  and  I 
shewed  them :  suddenly  I  did  them,  and  they  came 

4  to  pass.  Because  I  knew  that  thou  art  obstinate, 
and  thy  neck  is  an  iron  sinew,  and  thy  brow  brass; 

5  therefore  I  have  declared  it  to  thee  from  of  old ; 
before  it  came  to  pass  I  shewed  it  thee:  lest 
thou  shouldest  say,  Mine  idol  hath  done  them, 
and    my    graven    image,    and    my    molten     image, 

6  hath  commanded  them.  Thou  hast  heard  it ; 
behold  all  this;  and  ye,  will  ye  not  declare  it?  *I 
have  shewed  thee  new  things  from  this  time, 
£ven  hidden  things,  which  thou  hast  not  known.  I

even  before  the  day  when  thou  heardest  them  not;  lest 
thou  shouldest  say,  Behold,  I  knew  them. 

8  Yea,  thou  heardest  not;  yea,  thou  knewest  not;  yea, 
from  that  time  that  thine  ear  was  not  opened :  for  I  knew 
that  thou  wouldest  deal  very  treacherously,  and  wast  called 
*a  transgressor  from  the  womb. 

9  ^'For  my  name's  sake  ""will  I  defer  mine  anger,  and  for 
my  praise  will  I  refrain  for  thee,  that  I  cut  thee  not  off. 

10  Behold,  "I  have  refined  thee,  but  not  ||  with  silver;  I 
have  chosen  thee  in  the  furnace  of  affliction. 

11  "For  mine  own  sake,  even  for  mine  own  sake,  will  I  do 
it :  for  'how  should  my  name  be  polluted  ?  and  ""I  will  not 
give  my  glory  unto  another. 

12  ^Hearken  unto  me,  O  Ja'cob  and  Is'ra-el,  my  called; 
'I  am  he ;  I  am  the  'first,  I  also  am  the  last. 

13  "Mine  hand  also  hath  laid  the  foundation  of  the  earth, 
and  II  my  right  hand  hath  spanned  the  heavens:  when  ^1 
call  unto  them,  they  stand  up  together. 

14  "All  ye,  assemble  yourselves  and  hear;  which  among 
them  hath  declared  these  things?  'The  Loed  hath  loved 
him:  "he  will  do  his  pleasure  on  Bab'y-lon,  and  his  arm 
shall  be  on  the  Chal-de'ans. 

15  I,  even  I,  have  spoken,  yea,  'I  have  called  him:  I  have 
brought  him,  and  he  shall  make  his  way  prosperous. 

16  ^Come  ye  near  unto  me,  hear  ye  this ;  "I  have  not  spoken 
in  secret  from  the  beginning ;  from  the  time  that  it  was,  there 
am  I :  and  now  *the  Lord  God,  and  his  Spirit,  hath  sent  me. 

17  Thus  saith  "the  Lord,  thy  Redeemer,  the  Holy  One  of 
Is'ra-el;  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God  which  teacheth  thee  to 
profit,  %hich  leadeth  thee  by  the  way  that  thou  shouldest  go. 

18  "O  that  thou  hadst  hearkened  to  my  commandments! 
*then  had  thy  peace  been  as  a  river,  and  thy  righteousness 
as  the  waves  of  the  sea : 

19  'Thy  seed  also  had  been  as  the  sand,  and  the  offspring 
of  thy  bowels  like  the  gravel  thereof;  his  name  should  not 
have  been  cut  off  nor  destroyed  from  before  me. 

20  T[*Go  ye  forth  of  Bab'y-lon,  flee  ye  from  the  Chal-de'-

them :   he  clave  the  rock  also,  and  the  waters  gushed  out. 

22  There  is  no  peace,  saith  the  Loed,  unto  the  wicked. 

CHAPTER    XLIX. 

Christ  sent  to  the  Gentiles. 

LISTEN,  "O  isles,  unto  me;  and  hearken,  ye  people,  from 
far;  'The  LoED  hath  called  me  from  the  womb;  from  the 
bowels  of  my  mother  hath  he  made  mention  of  my  name. 

2  And  he  hath  made  °my  mouth  like  a  sharp  sword ;  ''in 
the  shadow  of  his  hand  hath  he  hid  me,  and  made  me  'a 
polished  shaft;  in  his  quiver  hath  he  hid  me; 

3  And  said  unto  me,  -^Thou  art  my  servant,  O  Is'ra-el, 
'in  whom  I  will  be  glorified. 

4  *Then  I  said,  I  have  laboured  in  vain,  I  have  spent  my 
strength  for  nought,  and  in  vain :  yei  surely  my  judgment 
is  with  the  Loed,  and  ||my  work  with  my  God. 

5  ^And  now,  saith  the  Lord  "that  formed  me  from  the 
womb  to  be  his  servant,  to  bring  Ja'cob  again  to  him, 
II  Though  Is'ra-el  *be  not  gathered,  yet  shall  I  be  glorious  in 
the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and  my  God  shall  be  my  strength. 

6  And  he  said,  ||  It  is  a  light  thing  that  thou  shouldest  be 
my  servant  to  raise  up  the  tribes  of  Ja'cob,  and  to  restore 
the  II  preserved  of  Is'ra-el :  I  will  also  give  thee  for  a  'light 
to  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  mayest  be  my  salvation  unto  the 
end  of  the  earth. 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  Redeemer  of  Is'ra-el,  and  his 
Holy  One,  "jlto  him  whom  man  despiseth,  to  him  whom 


7 They  are  created  now,  and  not  from  of  old;  and 
before  this  day  thou  heardest  them  not;    lest  thou 

8  shouldest  say.  Behold,  I  knew  them.  Yea,  thou 
heardest  not;  yea,  thou  knewest  not;  yea,  from  of 
old  thine  ear  was  not  opened :  for  I  knew  that  thou 
didst  deal  very  treacherously,  and  was  called  a  trans- 

9  gressor  from  the  womb.  For  my  name's  sake  will  I 
defer  mine  anger,  and  for  my  praise  will  I  refrain  for 

10  thee,  that  I  cut  thee  not  off.  Behold,  I  have  refined 
thee,  but  not  as  silver;  I  have  'chosen  thee  in  the 

i  1  furnace  of  affliction.  For  mine  own  sake,  for  mine 
own  sake,  will  I  do  it;  for  how  should  my  name  be 
profaned  ?  and  my  glory  will  I  not  give  to  another. 

12     Hearken  unto  me,  O  Ja'cob,  and  Is  ra-el  my  called: 

131  am  he ;  I  am  the  first,  I  also  am  the  last.  Yea,  mine 
hand  hath  laid  the  foundation  of  the  earth,  and  my 
right  hand  hath  spread  out  the  heavens :  when  I  call 

14  unto  them,  they  stand  up  together.  Assemble  your- 
selves, all  ye,  and  hear ;  which  among  them  hath  de- 
clared these  things  ?  ^The  Lord  hath  loved  him  :  he 
shall  perform  his  pleasure  on  Bab'y-lon,  and  his  arm 

15  shall  6eonthe  Chal-de'ans.  I,  even  I,  have  spoken; 
yea,  I  have  called  him :  I  have  brought  him,  and  he 

16  shall  make  his  way  prosperous.  Come  ye  near  iinto 
me,  hear  ye  this ;  from  the  beginning  I  have  not  spoken 
in  secret;  from  the  time  that  it  was,  there  am  I: 
and  now  the  Lord  God  hath  sent  me,  and  his  spirit. 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  thy  redeemer,  the  Holy  One  of 
Is'ra-el:  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  teacheth 
thee  to  profit,  which  leadeth  thee  by  the  way  that 

18  thou  shouldest  go.  'Oh  that  thou  hadst  hearkened 
to  my  commandments !  then  had  thy  peace  been  as  a 
river,  and  thy  righteousness  as  the  waves  of  the  sea : 

19  thy  seed  also  had  been  as  the  sand,  and  the  offspring 
of  thy  bowels  like  *the  grains  thereof:  his  name 
should  not  be  cut  off  nor  destroyed  from  before  me. 

20  Go  ye  forth  of  Bab'y-lon,  flee  ye  from  the  Chal- 
de'ans  ;  with  a  voice  of  singing  declare  ye,  tell  this, 
utter  it  even  to  the  end  of  the  earth :  say  ye.  The 

21  Lord  hath  redeemed  his  servant  Ja'cob.  And  they 
thirsted  not  when  he  led  them  through  the  deserts :  he 
caused  the  waters  to  flow  out  of  the  rock  for  them : 
he  clave  the  rock  also,  and  the  waters  gushed  out. 

22  There  is  no  peace,  saith  the  Lord,  unto  the  wicked, 

^y  Listen,  O  isles,  unto  me ;  and  hearken,  ye 
peoples,  from  far:  the  Lord  hath  called  me  from 
the  womb ;  from  the  bowels  of  my  mother  hath  he 

2  made  mention  of  my  name :  and  he  hath  made  my 
mouth  like  a  sharp  sword,  in  the  shadow  of  his  hand 
hath  he  hid  me;  and  he  hath  made  me  a  polished 

3 shaft,  in  his  quiver  hath  he  kept  me  close:  and  he 
said  unto   me.   Thou  art  my  servant;    Is'ra-el,  in 

4  whom  I  will  be  glorified.  But  I  said,  I  have 
laboured  in  vain,  I  have  spent  my  strength  for 
nought  and  vanity:  yet  surely  my  judgement  is 
with  the  Lord,  and  my  recompence  with  my  God. 

5  And  now  saith  the  Lord  that  formed  me  from  the 
womb  to  be  his  servant,  to  bring  Ja'cob  again  to 
him,  'and  that  Is'ra-el  be  gathered  unto  him :  (for  I 
am  honourable  in   the  eyes  of  the  Lord,  and  my 

6  God  is  become  my  strength :)  yea,  he  saith,  It  is  too 
light  a  thing  that  thou  shouldest  be  my  servant  to 
raise  up  the  tribes  of  Ja'cob,  and   to  restore  the 

[•reserved  of  Is'ra-el:    I  will  also  give  thee  for  a 
ight  to  the  Gentiles,  "that  thou  mayast  be  my  sal- 
7vation    unto    the    end    of  the    earth.      Thus    saith 
the  Lord,  the  redeemer  of  Is'ra-el,  and  his  Holy 
One,  to   him  whom  man  despiseth,  to  him  whom!

the  nation  abhorreth  to  a  servant  of  rulers,  "Kings  shall 
see  and  arise,  princes  also  shall  worship,  because  of  the 
Lord  that  is  faithful,  and  the  Holy  One  of  Is-ra'el,  and  he 
shall  choose  thee. 

8  Thus  saith  the  LoED,  "In  an  acceptable  time  have  I 
heard  thee,  and  in  a  day  of  salvation  have  I  helped  thee : 
and  I  will  preserve  thee,  ""and  give  thee  for  a  covenant  to 
the  people,  to  ||  establish  the  earth,  to  cause  to  inherit  the 
desolate  heritages : 

9  That  thou  mayest  say  'to  the  prisoners,  Go  forth ;  to 
them  that  are  in  darkness.  Shew  yourselves.  They  shall 
feed  in  the  ways,  and  their  pastures  shall  be  in  all  high  places. 

10  They  shall  not  ''hunger  nor  thirst :  'neither  shall  the  heat 
nor  sun  smite  them :  for  he  that  hath  mercy  on  them  'shall 
lead  them,  even  by  the  springs  of  water  shall  he  guide  them. 

11  "And  I  will  make  all  my  mountains  a  way,  and  my 
highways  shall  be  exalted. 

12  Behold,  "^these  shall  come  from  far:  and,  lo,  these  from 
the  north  and  from  the  west;  and  these  from  the  land  of 
Si'nim. 

13  ^"Sing,  O  heavens;  and  be  joyful,  O  earth;  and  break 
forth  into  singing,  O  mountains :  for  the  Lord  hath  com- 
forted his  people,  and  will  have  mercy  upon  his  afflicted. 

14  'But  Zi'on  said.  The  Lord  hath  forsaken  me,  and  my 
Lord  hath  forgotten  me. 

15  "Can  a  woman  forget  her  sucking  child,  fthat  she 
should  not  have  compassion  on  the  son  of  her  womb  ?  yea, 
they  may  forget,  'yet  will  I  not  forget  thee. 

16  Behold,  ""I  have  graven  thee  upon  the  palms  of  my 
hands ;  thy  Avails  are  continually  before  rre. 

17  Thy  children  shall  make  haste;  ''thy  destroyers  and 
they  that  made  thee  waste  shall  go  forth  of  thee. 

18  ^'Lift  up  thine  eyes  round  about,  and  behold :  all 
these  gather  themselves  together,  and  come  to  thee.  As  I

all,  ■'as  with  an  ornament,  and  bind  them  on  thee,  as  a  bride

19  For  thy  waste  and  thy  desolate  places,  and  the  land  of 
thy  destruction,  "shall  even  now  be  too  narrow  by  reason 
of  the  inhabitants,  and  they  that  swallowed  thee  up  shall  be 
far  away. 

20  ''The  children  which  thou  shalt  have,  after  thou  hast 
lost  the  other,  'shall  say  again  in  thine  ears.  The  place  is 
too  strait  for  me:  give  place  to  me  that  I  may  dwell. 

21  Then  shalt  thou  say  in  thine  heart.  Who  hath  begotten 
mo  these,  seeing  I  have  lost  my  children,  and  am  desolate, 
a  captive,  and  removing  to  and  fro?  and  who  hath  brought 
up  these  ?  Behold,  I  was  left  alone ;  these,  where  had  they 
been  f 

22  *Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  will  lift  up  mine 
hand  to  the  Gentiles,  and  set  up  my  standard  to  the  people : 
and  they  shall  bring  thy  sons  in  their  farms,  and  thy 
daughters  shall  be  carried  upon  their  shoulders. 

23  'And  kings  shall  be  thy  fnursing  fathers,  and  their 
tqueens  thy  nursing  mothers:  they  shall  bow  down  to  thee 
with  their  face  toward  the  earth,  and  "lick  up  the  dust  of 
thy  feet;  and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord:  for 
"they  shall  not  be  ashamed  that  wait  for  me.

lawful  captive  delivered? 

25  But  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Even  the  fcaptives  of  the 
mighty  shall  be  taken  away,  and  the  prey  of  the  terrible 
shall  be  delivered :  for  I  will  contend  with  him  that  con- 
tendeth  with  thee,  and  I  will  save  thy  children. 

26  And  I  will  "feed  them  that  oppress  thee  with  their 
own  flesh ;  and  they  shall  be  drunken  with  their  own 
'blood,  as  with  ||  sweet  wine :  and  all  flesh  ''shall  know  that

8  of  Is'ra-el,  who  hath  chosen  thee.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  In  an  acceptable  time  have  I  answered  thee 
and  in  a  day  of  salvation  have  I  helped  thee :  and  I

joyful,  O  earth ;  and  break  forth  into  singing,  O 
mountains:  for  the  Lord  hath  comforted  his 
people,  and  will  have  compassion  upon  his  afflicted 

14  But  Zi'on  said,  Je-ho'vah  hath  forsaken  me,  and  the 

15  Lord  hath  forgotten  me.  Can  a  woman  forget  her 
sucking  child,  that  she  should  not  have  compassion 
on  the  son  of  her  womb?  yea,  these  may  forget,  yet 

16  will  not  I  forget  thee.  Behold,  I  have  graven  thee 
upon   the   palms  of  my  hands ;  thy  walls  are  con 

ITtinually  before  me.  'Thy  children  make  haste;  thy 
destroyers  and  they  that  made  thee  waste  shall  go 

18  forth  of  thee.  Lift  up  thine  eyes  round  about,  and 
behold :  all  these  gather  them.selves  together,  and 
come  to  thee.  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  thou 
shalt  surely  clothe  thee  with  them  all  as  with  an 
ornament,  and  gird  thyself  with  them,  like  a  bride. 

19  For,  as  for  thy  waste  and  thy  desolate  places  and 
thy  land  that  hath  been  destroyed,  surely  now  shalt 
thou  be  too  strait  for  the  inhabitants,  and  they  that 

20  swallowed  thee  up  shall  be  far  away.  The  children 
of  thy  bereavement  shall  yet  say  in  thine  ears,  The 
place  is  too  strait  for  me :    give  place  to  me  that  I 

21  may  dwell.  Then  shalt  thou  say  in  thine  heart. 
Who  hath  ^begotten  me  these,  seeing  I  have  been 
bereaved  of  my  children,  and  am  'solitary,  an  exile, 
and  wandering  to  and  fro  ?  and  who  hath  brought 
up  these  ?  Behold,  I  was  left  alone ;  these,  where 
were  they? 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  will  lift  up 
mine  hand  to  the  nations,  and  set  up  my  ensign  to 
the  peoples :  and  they  shall  bring  thy  sons  in  their 
bosom,   and   thy   daughters   shall   be   carried  upon 

23  their  shoulders.  And  kings  shall  be  thy  nurs- 
ing fathers,  and  their  queens  thy  nursing  mothers : 
they  shall  bow  down  to  thee  with  their  faces  to  the 
earth,  and  lick  the  dust  of  thy  feet ;  and  thou  shalt 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  and  they  that  wait  for 

24  me  shall  not  be  ashamed.  Shall  the  prey  be  taken 
from  the  mighty,  or  'the  lawful   captives  be  deliv- 

24ered?  But  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Even  the  captives 
of  the  mighty  shall  be  taken  away,  and  the  prey  of 
the  terrible  shall  be  delivered :  for  I  will  contend 
with  him  that  contendeth  with  thee,  and  I  will  save 

26  thy  children.  And  I  will  feed  them  that  oppress 
thee  with  their  own  flesh  ;  and  they  shall  be  drunken 
with  their  own  blood,  as  with  sweet  wine;  and  all 
flesh  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  am  thy  saviour, 
and  thy  redeemer,  the  Mighty  One  of  Ja'cob.

CHAPTER    L. 

The  dereliction  of  the  Jews  not  to  be  imputed  to  God. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord,  Where  i«"the  bill  of  your  mother's 
divorcement,  whom  I  have  put  away  ?  or  which  of  my 
''creditors  is  it  to  whom  I  have  sold  you  ?  Behold,  for  your 
iniquities  'have  ye  sold  yourselves,  and  for  your  transgres- 
sions is  your  mother  put  away. 

2  Wherefore,  when  I  came,  was  there  no  man  ?  ''when  I  called, 
was  there  none  to  answer  ?  *Is  my  hand  shortened  atall,  that  it 
can  not  redeem?  or  have  I  no  power  to  deliver?  beholdj-'at  my 
rebuke  I  "dry  up  the  sea,  I  make  the  *rivers  a  wilderness :  'their 
fish  stiuketh,  because  there  is  no  water,  and  dieth  for  thirst. 

3  *I  clothe  the  heavens  with  blackness,  'and  I  make  sack- 
cloth their  covering. 

4  ""The  Lord  God  hath  given  me  the  tongue  of  the 
learned,  that  I  should  know  how  to  speak  a  word  in  season 
to  him  that  is  "weary :  he  wakeneth  morning  by  morning, 
he  wakeneth  mine  ear  to  hear  as  the  learned. 

5  1[The  Lord  God  "hath  opened  mine  ear,  and  I  was  not 
"rebellious,  neither  turned  away  back. 

6  «I  gave  my  back  to  the  smiters,  and  ""my  cheeks  to  them 
that  plucked  off  the  hair :  I  hid  not  my  face  from  shame 
and  spitting. 

7  ^For  the  Lord  God  will  help  me  :  therefore  shall  I  not 
be  confounded :  therefore  have  'I  set  my  face  like  a  flint, 
and  I  know  that  I  shall  not  be  ashamed. 

8  'He  is  near  that  justifieth  me :  who  will  contend  with  me? 
let  us  stand  together :  who  is  fmine  adversary  ?  let  him  come 
near  to  me. 

9  Behold,  the  Lord  God  will  help  me ;  who  is  he  that  shall 
condemn  me  ?  "lo,  they  all  shall  wax  old  as  a  garment ;  ""the 
moth  shall  eat  them  up. 

10  ^Who  is  among  you  that  feareth  the  Lord,  that 
obeyeth  the  voice  of  his  servant,  that  "walketh  in  darkness, 
and  hath  no  light?  'let  him  trust  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
and  stay  upon  his  God. 

11  Behold,  all  ye  that  kindle  a  fire,  that  compass  yourselves 
about  with  sparks  :  walk  in  the  light  of  your  fire,  and  in  the 
sparks  that  ye  have  kindled.  "This  shall  ye  have  of  mine 
hand ;  ye  shall  lie  down  'in  sorrow. 

CHAF'TER    LI. 

Exhortation  to  trust  in  God. 

HEARKEN  "to  me,  *ye  that  follow  after  righteousness, 
ye  that  seek  the  Lord  :  look  unto  the  rock  whence  ye 
are  hewn,  and  to  the  hole  of  the  pit  whence  ye  are   digged. 

2  'Look  unto  A'bra-ham  your  father,  and  unto  Sa'rah  that 
bare  you  :  ''for  I  called  him  alone,  and  "blessed  him,  and  in- 
creased him. 

3  For  the  LoRD^shall  comfort  Zi'on  :  he  will  comfort  all  her 
waste  places;  and  he  will  make  her  wilderness  like  E'den,  and 
her  desert  "like  the  garden  of  the  Lord  ;  joy  and  gladness 
shall  be  found  therein,  thanksgiving,and  the  voice  of  melody. 

4  ^Hearken  unto  me,  my  people ;  and  give  ear  unto  me, 
O  my  nation :  *for  a  law  shall  proceed  from  me,  and  I  will 
make  my  judgment  to  rest  'for  a  light  of  the  people. 

5  'My  righteousness  18  near ;  my  salvation  is  gone  forth, 
'and  mine  arms  shall  judge  the  people  ;  ""the  isles  shall  wait 
upon  me,  and  "on  mine  arm  shall  they  trust. 

6  "Lift  up  your  eyes  to  the  heavens,  and  look  upon  the  earth 
beneath  :  for 'the  heavens  shall  vanish  away  like  smoke,  »and 
the  earth  shall  wax  old  like  a  garment,  and  they  that  dwell 
therein  shall  die  in  like  manner:  but  my  salvation  shall  be 
for  ever,  and  my  righteousness  shall  not  be  abolished. 

7  IJ'^Hearken  unto  me,  ye  that  know  righteousness,  the 
people  'in  whose  heart  is  my  law ;  'fear  ye  not  the  reproach 
of  men,  neither  be  ye  afraid  of  their  revilings. 

8  For  the  moth  shall  eat  them  up  like  a  garment,  and  the 
worm  shall  eat  them  like  wool :  but  my  righteousness  shall 
be  for  ever,  and  my  salvation  from  generation  to  generation. 


OU  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Where  is  the  bill  of  your 
mother's  divorcement,  wherewith  I  have  put  her 
away?  or  which  of  my  creditors  is  it  to  whom  I 
have  sold  you?  Behold,  for  your  iniquities  were 
ye    sold,  and    for    your   transgressions    was    your 

2  mother  put  away.  Wherefore,  when  I  came,  was 
there  no  man?  when  I  called,  was  there  none  to 
answer?  Is  my  hand  shortened  at  all,  that  it  can  not 
redeem?  or  have  I  no  power  to  deliver?  Behold, 
at  my  rebuke  I  dry  up  the  sea,  I  make  the  rivers  a 
wilderness:  their  fish  stinketh,  because  there  is  no 

3  water,  and  dieth  for  thirst.  I  clothe  the  heavens 
with  blackness,  and  I  make  sackcloth  their  covering. 

4  The  Lord  God  hath  given  me  the  tongue  of  'them 
that  are  taught,  that  I  should  know  how  ^to  sustain 
with  words  him  that  is  weary  :  he  wakeneth  morn- 
ing by  morning,  he  wakeneth  mine  ear  to  hear  as 

5  'they  that  are  taught.  The  Lord  God  hath  opened 
mine  ear,  and  I  was   not  rebellious,  neither  turned 

6  away  backward.  I  gave  my  back  to  the  smiters,  and 
my  cheeks  to  them  that  plucked  off  the  hair :  I  hid 

7  not  my  face  from  shame  and  spitting.  For  the  Lord 
God  will  help  me ;  therefore  have  I  not  been  con- 
founded :  therefore  have  I  set  my  face  like  aflint,and  I 

8  know  that  I  shall  not  be  ashamed.  He  is  near  that  justi- 
fieth me;  who  will  contend  with  me  ?  let  us  stand  up 
together ;  who  is  mine  adversary  ?  let  him  come  near 

9 to  me.  Behold,  the  Lord  God  Mill  help  me ;  who  is 
he  that  shall  condemn  me?  behold,  they  all  shall 
wax  old  as  a  garment;  the  moth  shall  eat  them  up. 

10  Who  is  among  you  that  feareth  the  Lord,  that 
obeyeth  the  voice  of  his  servant?  'he  that  walketh 
in  darknesss,  and  hath  no  light,  let  him  trust  in  the 

11  name  of  the  Lord,  and  stay  upon  his  God.  Behold, 
all  ye  that  kindle  a  fire,  that  gird  yourselves  about 
with  firebrands :  walk  ye  in  the  flame  of  your  fire,  and 
among  the  brands  that  ye  have  kindled.  This  shall 
ye  have  of  mine  hand;  ye  shall  lie  down  in  sorrow. 

V-l  Hearken  to  me,  ye  that  follow  after  righteousness, 
ye  that  seek  the  Lord;  look  unto  the  rock  whence 
ye  were  hewn,  and  to  the  hole  of  the  pit  whence  ye 

2  were  digged.  Look  unto  A'bra-ham  your  father, 
and  unto  Sa'rah  that  bare  you :  for  when  he  was  but 
one  I  called  him,  and  I  blessed  him,  and  made  him 

3  many.  For  the  Lord  hath  comforted  Zi'on :  he 
hath  comforted  all  her  waste  places,  and  hath  made 
her  wilderness  like  E'den,  and  her  desert  like  the 
garden  of  the  Lord  ;  joy  and  gladness  shall  be 
found  therein,  thanksgiving,  and  the  voice  of  melody. 

4  Attend  unto  me,  O  my  people ;  and  give  ear  unto 
me,  O  my  nation :  for  a  law  shall  go  forth  from  me, 
and  I  will  make  my  judgement  to  rest  for  a  light  of 

5  the  peoples.  My  righteousness  is  near,  my  salva- 
tion is  gone  forth,  and  mine  arms  shall  judge  the 
peoples ;  the  isles  shall  wait  for  me,  and  on  mine  arm 

6  shall  they  trust.  Lift  up  your  eyes  to  the  heavens, 
and  look  upon  the  earth  beneath:  for  the  heavens 
shall  vanish  away  like  smoke,  and  the  earth  shall  wax 
old  like  a  garment,  and  they  that  dwell  therein  shall 
die  *in  like  manner:  but  my  salvation  shall  be  for 
ever,  and  my  righteousness  shall  not  be  abolished. 

7  Hearken  unto  me,  ye  that  know  righteousness, 
the  people  in  whose  heart  is  my  law ;  fear  ye 
not  the  reproach  of  men,  neither  be  ye  dismayed 

Sat  their  revilings.  For  the  moth  shall  eat  them 
up  like  a  garment,  and  the  worm  shall  eat  them 
like  wool ;  but  my  righteousness  shall  be  for  ever, 
and  my  salvation  unto  all  generations.

9  ^' A  wake,  awake,  "^ut  on  strength,  O  arm  of  the  Lord  ; 
awake,  'as  in  the  ancient  days,  in  the  generations  of  old.  "^AH 
thou  not  it  that  hath  cut  'Ra'hab  and  wounded  the  'dragon? 

10  Art  thou  not  it  which  hath  ''dried  the  sea,  the  waters 
of  the  great  deep;  that  hath  made  the  depths  of  the  sea 
a  way  for  the  ransomed  to  pass  over  ? 

11  Therefore  'the  redeemed  of  the  Lord  shall  return, 
and  come  with  singing  unto  Zi'on ;  and  everlasting  joy 
shall  be  upon  their  head:  they  shall  oJbtain  gladness  and  joy  ; 
and  sorrow  and  mourning  shall  flee  away. 

12  I,  even  I,  am  he  •''that  comforteth  you :  who  art  thou, 
that  thou  shouldest  be  afraid  "of  a  man  that  shall  die,  and 
of  the  son  of  man  which  shall  be  made  'as  grass ; 

13  And  forgettest  the  Lord  thy  Maker,  *tliat  hath  stretched 
forth  the  heavens,  and  laid  the  foundations  of  the  earth ; 
and  hast  feared  continually  every  day  because  of  the  fury 
of  the  oppressor,  as  if  he  ||were  ready  to  destroy?  *and 
where  is  the  fury  of  the  oppressor  ? 

14  The  captive  exile  hasteneth  that  he  may  be  loosed,  'and 
that  he  should  not  die  in  the  pit,  nor  that  his  bread  should  fail. 

15  But  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  that  "divided  the  sea, 
whose  waves  roared :  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

16  And  "I  have  put  my  words  in  thy  mouth,  and  "have 
covered  thee  in  the  shadow  of  mine  hand,  ''that  I  may  plant 
the  heavens,  and  lay  the  foundations  of  the  earth,  and  say 
unto  Zi'on,  Thou  art  my  people. 

17  ^«  A  wake,  awake,  stand  up,  O  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  hast 
•■drunk  at  the  hand  of  the  Lord  the  cup  of  his  fury ;  "thou  hast 
drunken  the  dregs  of  the  cup  of  trembling,  and  wrung  thefm  out. 

1 8  There  v>  none  to  guide  her  among  all  the  sons  whom 
she  hath  brought  forth;  neither  is  there  any  that  taketh 
her  by  the  hand  of  all  the  sons  that  she  hath  brought  up. 

19  'These  two  things  fare  come  unto  thee;  who  shall  be 
sorry  for  thee?  desolation,  and  fdestruction,  and  the  famine, 
and  the  sword  :  "by  whom  shall  I  comfort  thee? 

20  "^Thy  sons  have  fainted,  they  lie  at  the  head  of  all  the 
streets,  as  a  wild  bull  in  a  net :  they  are  full  of  the  fury  of 
the  Lord,  the  rebuke  of  thy  God. 

21  IfTherefore  hear  now  this,  thou  afflicted,  and  drunken, 
"but  not  with  wine: 

22  Thus  saith  thy  Lord  the  Lord,  and  thy  God,  'that 
pleadeth  the  cause  of  his  people.  Behold,  I  have  taken  out 
of  thine  hand  the  cup  of  trembling,  even  the  dregs  of  the 
cup  of  my  fury ;  thou  shalt  no  more  drink  it  again : 

23  But  "I  will  put  it  into  the  hand  of  them  that  afflict  thee ; 
''which  have  said  to  thy  soul.  Bow  down,  that  we  may  go 
over :  and  thou  hast  laid  thy  body  as  the  ground,  and  as  the 
street,  to  them  that  went  over. 

CHAPTER    LII. 

Christ  persuade'.h  the  church  to  believe  his  free  redemption. 

AWAKE,  "awake,  put  on  thy  strength,  O  Zi'on ;  put  on 
thy  beautiful  garments,  O  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ''the  holy  city : 
for  'henceforth  there  shall  no  more  come  into  thee  the  uncir- 
cumcised  ''and  the  unclean. 

2  'Shake  thy-self  from  the  dust;  arise,  and  sit  down,  O 
Je-ru'sa-lem :  'loose  thyself  from  the  bands  of  thy  neck,  O 
captive  daughter  of  Zi'on. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  "Ye  have  sold  yourselves  for 
nought ;  and  ye  shall  be  redeemed  without  money. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  My  people  went  down 
aforetime  into  '^E'gypt  to  sojourn  there;  and  the  As-syr'i-an 
oppressed  them  without  cause. 

5  Now  therefore,  what  have  I  here,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
my  people  is  taken  away  for  nought  ?  they  that  rule  over 
them  make  them  to  howl,  saith  the  Lord;  and  my  name 
continually  every  day  is  "blasjihemed. 

6  Therefore  my  people  shall  know  my  name:  therefore 
they  shall  know  in  that  day  that  I  am  he  that  doth  speak : 
behold,  U  isl. 


9  Awake,  awake,  put  on  strength,  O  arm  of  the 
Lord  ;  awake,  as  in  the  days  of  old,  the  generations 
of  ancient  times.  Art  thou  not  it  that  cut  'Ra'hab 
loin  pieces,  that  pierced  the  dragon?  Art  thou  not 
it  which  dried  up  the  sea,  the  waters  of  the  great 
deep;   that  made  the  depths  of  the  sea  a   way  for 

1 1  the  redeemed  to  pass  over  ?  ^And  the  ransomed  of 
the  Lord  shall  return,  and  come  with  singing  unto 
Zi'on;  and  everla.sting  joy  shall  be  upon  their  heads: 
they  shall  obtain  gladness  and  joy,  and  sorrow  and 
sighing  shall  flee  away. 

12  I,  even  I,  am  he  that  comforteth  you:  who  art 
thou,  that  thou  art  afraid  of  man  that  shall  die,  and 
of  the  son  of  man  which   shall  be  made  as  grass ; 

13  and  hast  forgotten  the  Lord  thy  Maker,  that 
stretched  forth  the  heavens,  and  laid  the  founda- 
tions of  the  earth;  and  fearest  continually  all  the 
day  because  of  the  fury  of  the  oppressor,  'when  he 
maketh  ready  to  destroy  ?  and  where  is  the  fury  of 

14 the  oppressor?  ^The  captive  exile  shall  speedily 
be  loosed ;  and  he  shall  not  die  and  go  dovm  into 

15  the  pit,  neither  shall  his  bread  fail.  For  I  am  the 
Lord  thy  God,  which  ''stirreth  up  the  sea,  that  the 
waves  thereof  roar :  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name 

16  And  I  have  put  my  words  in  thy  mouth,  and  have 
covered  thee  in  the  shadow  of  mine  hand,  that  I 
may  plant  the  heavens,  and  lay  the  foundations  of 
the  earth,  and  say  unto  Zi'on,  Thou  art  my  people. 

17  Awake,  awake,  stand  up,  O  Je-ru'salem,  which  hast 
drunk  at  the  hand  of  the  Lord  the  cup  of  his  fury ; 
thou  hast  drunken  the  bowl  of  the  cup  of  stagger- 

18ing,  and  drained  it.  There  is  none  to  guide  her 
among  all  the  sons  whom  she  hath  brought  forth ; 
neither  is  there  any  that  taketh  her  by  the  hand  of 

19  all  the  sons  that  she  hath  brought  up.  These  two 
things  are  befallen  thee ;  who  shall  bemoan  thee  ? 
desolation  and  destruction,  and  the  famine  and  the 

20 sword:  how  shall  I  comfort  thee?  Thy  sons  have 
fainted,  they  lie  at  the  top  of  all  the  streets,  as  an 
antelope  in  a  net ;  they  are  full  of  the  fury  of  the 

21  Lord,  the  rebuke  of  thy  God.  Therefore  hear  now 
this,  thou  afflicted,  and  drunken,  but  not  with  wine : 

22  thus  saith  thy  Lord  the  Lord,  and  thy  God  that 
pleadeth  the  cause  of  his  people.  Behold,  I  have  taken 
out  of  thine  hand  the  cup  of  staggering,  even  the  bowl 
of  the  cup  of  my  fury;  thou  shalt  no  more  drink  it 

23 again:  and  I  will  put  it  into  the  hand  of  them  that 
afflict  thee ;  which  have  said  to  thy  soul.  Bow  down, 
that  we  may  go  over:  and  thou  hast  laid  thy  back  as 
the  ground,  and  as  the  street,  to  them  that  go  over. 

OA  Awake,  awake,  put  on  thy  strength,  O  Zi'on;  put 
on  thy  beautiful  garments,  O  Je-ru'sa-lera,  the  holy 
city:  for  henceforth  there  shall  no  more  come  into 

2  thee  the  uncircumcised  and  the  unclean.  Shake  thy- 
self from  the  dust ;  arise,  sit  thee  down,  O  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  :  'loose  thyself  from  the  bands  of  thy  neck,  O 
captive  daughter  of  Zi'on. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye  were  sold  for  nought ; 

4  and  ye  shall  be  redeemed  without  money.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  My  people  went  down  at  tue  first 
into  E'gypt  to  sojourn  there':  and  the  As-syr'i-an  op- 

5  pres.sed  them  without  cause.  Now  therefore,  what 
do  I  here,  saith  the  Lord,  seeing  that  my  people  is 
taken  away  for  nought?  they  that  rule  over  them

CHAPTER    IvIII. 

The  sufferings  of  Christ  foretold. 

WHO  "hath  believed  our  ||  freport?  and  to  whom  ""is  the 
arm  of  the  Lord  revealed  ? 

2  For  "he  shall  grow  up  before  him  as  a  tender  plant, 
and  as  a  root  out  of  a  dry  ground :  ''he  hath  no  form  nor 
comeliness;  and  when  we  shall  see  him,  there  is  no  beauty 
that  we  should  desire  him. 

3  'He  is  despised  and  rejected  of  men ;  a  man  of  sorrows, 
and  ■'acquainted  with  grief:  and  Hfwe  hid  as  it  were  our 
faces  from  him ;  he  was  despised,  and  "we  esteemed  him  not. 

4  ^Surely  *he  hath  borne  our  griefs,  and  carried  our  sor- 
rowG :  yet  we  did  esteem  him  stricken,  smitten  of  God,  and 
afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  ||  'wounded  for  our  transgressions,  he  was 
bruised  for  our  iniquities :  the  chastisement  of  our  peace 
was  upon  him;  and  with  his  ^fstripes  we  are  healed. 

6  'All  we  like  sheep  have  gone  astray;  we  have  turned 
every  one  to  his  own  way;  and  the  Lord  fhath  laid  on 
him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was  afflicted,  yet  "he  opened 
not  his  mouth :  "he  is  brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter, 
and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shearers  is  dumb,  so  he  openeth 
not  his  mouth. 

8  II  He  was  taken  from  prison  and  from  judgment:  and 
who  shall  declare  his  generation  ?  for  °he  was  cut  off  out  of 
the  land  of  the  living :  for  the  transgression  of  my  people 
fwas  he  stricken. 

9  "And  he  made  his  grave  with  the  wicked,  and  with  the 
rich  in  his  fdeath;  because  he  had  done  no  violence, 
neither  was  any  'deceit  in  his  mouth. 

10  HYet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to  bruise  him ;  he  hath  put 
him  to  grief:  |1  when  thou  shalt  make  his  soul  'an  offering 
for  sin,  he  shall  see  his  seed,  'he  shall  prolong  his  days,  and 
'the  pleasure  of  the  Lord  shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

11  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of  his  soul,  and  shall  be 
satisfied:  "by  his  knowledge  shall  ""my  righteous  "servant 
'justify  many;  "for  he  shall  bear  their  iniquities. 

12  ''Therefore  will  I  divide  him  a  portion  with  the  great, 
"and  he  shall  divide  the  spoil  with  the  strong;  because  he 


7  How  beautiful  upon  the  mountains  are  the  feet 
of  him  that  bringeth  good  tidings,  that  publisheth 
peace,  that  bringeth  good  tidings  of  good,  that  pub- 
lisheth salvation;  that  saith  unto    Zi'on,  Thy   God 

8  reigneth !  The  voice  of  thy  watchmen  !  they  lift 
up  the  voice,  together  do  they  sing;  for  they  shall 
see,  eye  to  eye,  %hen  the  Lord  returneth  to  Zi'on. 

9  Break  forth  into  joy,  sing  together,  ye  waste  places 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem :  for  the  Lord  hath  comforted  his 

10  people,  he  hath  redeemed  Je-ru'sa-lem.  The  Lord 
hath  made  bare  his  holy  arm  in  the  eyes  of  all  the 
nations ;  and  all  the  ends  of  the  earth  shall  see  the 

11  salvation  of  our  God.  Depart  ye,  depart  ye,  go  ye 
out  from  thence,  touch  no  unclean  thing;  go  ye 
out  of  the  midst  of  her :  be  ye  clean,  ye  that  bear  the 

12  vessels  of  the  Lord.  For  ye  shall  'not  go  out  in 
haste,  neither  shall  ye  go  by  flight:  for  the  Lord 
will  go  before  you ;  and  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  will  be 
your  rearward. 

13  Behold,  my  servant  shall  ^deal  wisely,  he  shall  be 

14  exalted  and  lifted  up,  and  shall  be  very  high.  Like 
as  many  were  astonied  at  thee,  (his  visage  was  so 
marred  ^more  than  any  man,  and  his  form  more  than 

15  the  sons  of  men,)  so  shall  he  Sprinkle  many  nations; 
kings  shall  shut  their  mouths  °at  him:  for  that 
which  had  not  been  told  them  shall  they  see ;  and  that 
which  they  had  not  heard  shall  they  'understand. 

OO  Who  hath    believed  "'our  report?   and  to  whom 

2  hath  the  arm  of  the  Lord  been  revealed  ?  For  he 
grew  up  before  him  as  a  tender  plant,  and  as  a  root 
out  of  a  dry  ground :  he  hath  no  form  nor  comeli- 
ness ;  'and  when  we  see  him,  there  is  no  beauty  that 

3  we  should  desire  him.  He  was  despised,  and  're- 
jected of  men ;  a  man  of  sorrows,  and  acquainted  with 
'"grief:  and  "as  one  from  whom  men  hide  their  face 
he  was  despised,  and  we  esteemed  him  not. 

4  Surely  he  hath  borne  our  '^griefs,  and  carried  our 
sorrows :  yet  we  did  esteem  him  stricken,  smitten 

5  of  God,  and  afflicted.  But  he  was  wounded  for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for  our  iniquities :  the 
chastisement  of  our  peace  was  upon  him ;  and  with 

6  his  stripes  we  are  healed.  All  we  like  sheep  have 
gone  astray ;  we  have  turned  every  one  to  his  own 
way ;  and  the  Lord  hath  "laid  on  him  the  iniquity 
of  us  all. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  yet  he  humbled  himself  and 
opened  not  his  mouth ;  as  a  Iamb  that  is  led  to  the 
slaughter,  and  as  a  sheep  that  before  her  shearers  is 

8  dumb ;  yea,  he  opened  not  his  mouth.  "By  oppres- 
sion and  judgement  he  was  taken  away;  "and  as  for 
his  generation,  who  among  them  considered  that  he 
was  cut  off  out  of  the  land  of  the  living?   for  the 

9  transgression  of  my  people  was  he  "stricken.  And 
they  made  his  grave  with  the  wicked,  and  with  the 
rich  in  his  "death;  "although  he  had  done  no  vio- 
lence, neither  was  any  deceit  in  his  mouth. 

10  Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to  bruise  him ;  he  hath 
"put  him  to  grief:  ^when  thou  shalt  make  his  soul 
^'an  offering  for  sin,  he  shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall 
prolong   his   days,  and  the  pleasure   of  the  Lord 

11  shall  prosper  in  his  hand.  "He  shall  see  of  the 
travail  of  his  soul,  and  shall  be  satisfied:  by  his 
knowledge  shall  my  righteous  servant  ^^ustify  many : 

12  and  he  shall  bear  their  iniquities.  Therefore  will 
I  divide  him  a  portion  with  the  great,  and  he 
shall  divide  the  spoil  with  the  strong;  because  he

CHAPTER  LIV. 

The  prophet  propkesieih  the  preservation  of  the  church, 

"OING,   O  barren,  thou  that  didst  not  bear ;  break  forth 
O  into  singing,  and  cry  aloud,  thou  that  didst  not  travail 
with  child:  for  'more  are  the  children  of  the  desolate  than 
the  children  of  the  married  wife,  saith.  the  Lord. 

2  "Enlarge  the  place  of  thy  tent,  and  let  them  stretch  forth 
the  curtains  of  thine  habitations :  spare  not,  lengthen  thy 
cords,  and  strengthen  thy  stakes; 

3  For  thou  shalt  break  forth  on  the  right  hand  and  on  the 
left;  ''and  thy  seed  shall  inherit  the  Gentiles,  and  make  the 
desolate  cities  to  be  inhabited. 

4  Fear  not ;  for  thou  shalt  not  be  ashamed  :  neither  be  thou 
confounded ;  for  thou  shalt  not  be  put  to  shame :  for  thou 
shalt  forget  the  shame  of  thy  youth,  and  shalt  not  remem- 
ber the  reproach  of  thy  widowhood  any  more. 

5  'For  thy  Maker  is  thine  husband :  The  •'IiORD  of  hosts 
is  his  name ;  and  thy  Redeemer  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el ; 
"The  God  of  the  whole  earth  shall  he  be  called. 

6  For  the  Lord  *hath  called  thee  as  a  woman  forsaken 
and  grieved  in  spirit,  and  a  wife  of  youth,  when  thou  wast 
refused,  saith  thy  God. 

7  'For  a  small  moment  have  I  forsaken  thee;  but  with 
great  mercies  will  I  gather  thee. 

8  In  a  little  wrath  I  hid  my  face  from  thee  for  a  moment ; 
but  with  everlasting  kindness  will  I  have  mercy  on  thee, 

saith  the  Lord  thy  Redeemer. 

9  For  this  is  as  the  waters  of  'No'ah  unto  me :  for  as  I 
have  sworn  that  the  waters  of  No'ah  should  no  more  go 
over  the  earth;  so  have  I  sworn  that  I  would  not  be  wroth 
with  thee,  nor  rebuke  thee. 

10  For  "the  mountains  shall  depart,  and  the  hills  be  re- 
moved ;  "but  my  kindness  shall  not  depart  from  thee,  neither 
shall  the  covenant  of  my  peace  be  removed,  saith  the  Lord 
that  hath  mercy  on  thee. 

11  ^O  thou  aifiicted,  tossed  with  tempest,  and  not  com- 
forted ;  behold,  I  will  lay  thy  stones  with  "fair  colours,  and 
lay  thy  foundations  with  sapphires. 

12  And  I  will  make  thy  windows  of  agates  and  thy  gates 
of  carbuncles,  and  all  thy  borders  of  pleasant  stones. 

13  And  all  thy  children  shall  be  "taught  of  the  Lord;  and 
"great  shall  be  the  peace  of  thy  children. 

14  In  righteousness  shalt  thou  be  established:  thou  shalt 
be  far  from  oppression;  for  thou  shalt  not  fear:  and  from 
terror;  for  it  shall  not  come  near  thee. 

15  Behold,  they  shall  surely  gather  together,  but  not  by 
me :  whosoever  shall  gather  together  against  thee  shall  fall 
for  thy  sake. 

16  Behold,  I  have  created  the  smith  that  bloweth  the  coals 
in  the  fire,  and  that  bringeth  forth  an  instrument  for  his 
work ;  and  I  have  created  the  waster  to  destroy. 

17  1[No  weapon  that  is  formed  against  thee  shall  prosper; 
and  every  tongue  that  shall  rise  against  thee  in  judgment 
thou  shalt  condemn.  This  is  the  heritage  of  the  servants  of 
the  Lord,  ''ahd  their  righteousness  is  of  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER    IvV. 

Gracious  invitations  of  the  gospel. 

HO,  "every  one  that  thirsteth,  come  ye  to  the  waters,  and 
he  that  hath  no  money;  'come  ye,  buy,  and  eat;  yea, 
3ome,  buy  wine  and  milk  without  money  and  without 
price. 

2  Wherefore  do  ye  fspend  money  for  that  which  is  not 
bread  ?  and  your  labour  for  that  which  satisfieth  not?  hearken 
diligently  unto  me,  and  eat  ye  that  which  is  good,  and  let 
your  soul  delight  itself  in  fatness. 

3  Incline  your  ear,  and  "come  unto  me :  hear,  and  your 


poured  out  his  soul  unto  death,  and  was  numbered 
with  the  transgressors :  yet  he  bare  the  sin  of  many, 
and  'made  intercession  for  the  transgressors. 

0"*^  Sing,  O  barren,  thou  that  didst  not  bear ;  break 
forth  into  singing,  and  cry  aloud,  thou  that  didst  not 
travail  with  child :  for  more  are  the  children  of  the 
desolate  than  the  children  of  the  married  wife,  saith 

2  the  Lord.  Enlarge  the  place  of  thy  tent,  and  let 
them  stretch  forth  the  curtains  of  thine  habitations ; 
spare  not:  lengthen  thy  cords,  and  strengthen  thy 

3  stakes.  For  thou  shalt  spread  abroad  on  the  right 
hand  and  on  the  left ;  and  thy  seed  shall  possess  the 
nations,  and  make  the  desolate  cities  to  be  inhabited. 

4  Fear  not ;  for  thou  shalt  not  be  ashamed :  neither 
be  thou  confounded;  for  thou  shalt  not  be  put  to 
shame  :  for  thou  shalt  forget  the  shame  of  thy  youth, 
and    the    reproach   of  thy    widowhood    shalt    thou 

5  remember  no  more.  For  thy  Maker  is  thine  hus- 
band ;  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name :  and  the  Holy 
One  of  Is'ra-el  is  thy  redeemer ;  the  God  of  the  whole 

6  earth  shall  he  be  called.  For  the  Lord  hath  called 
thee  as  a  wife  forsaken  and  grieved  in  spirit,  even  a 
wife  of  youth,  when  she  is  cast  off,  saith  thy  God. 

7  For  a  small  moment  have  I  forsaken  thee ;  but  with 

8  great  mercies  will  I  gather  thee.  ^In  overflowing 
wrath  I  hid  my  face  from  thee  for  a  moment;  but 
with  everlasting  kindness  will  I  have  mercy  on  thee, 

9  saith  the  Lord  thy  redeemer.  ^For  this  is  as  the 
waters  of  No'ah  unta  me :  for  as  I  have  sworn  that 
the  waters  of  No'ah  should  no  more  go  over  the 
earth,  so  have  I  sworn  that  I  would  not  be  wroth 

10  with  thee,  nor  rebuke  thee.  For  the  mountains 
shall  depart,  and  the  hills  be  removed ;  but  my  kind- 
ness shall  not  depart  from  thee,  neither  shall  my 
covenant  of  peace  be  removed,  saith  the  Lord  that 
hath  mercy  on  thee. 

11  O  thou  afflicted,  tossed  with  tempest,  and  not 
comforted,  behold,  I  will  set  thy  stones  in  *fair 
colours,  and    lay    thy    foundations  with    sapphires. 

12  And  I  will  make  thy  'pinnacles  of  rubies,  and  thy 
gates  of  carbuncles,  and  all  thy  border  of  pleasant 

13  stones.  And  all  thy  children  shall  be  ^taught  of  the 
Lord;  and  great  shall  be  the  peace  of  thy  children. 

14 In  righteousness  shalt  thou  be  established:  "thou 
shalt  be  far  from  oppression,  for  thou  shalt  not  fear; 
and  from  terror,  for  it  shall  not  come  near  thee. 

15 Behold,  they  may  'gather  together,  but  not  by  me: 
whosoever  shall  'gather  together  against  thee  'shall 

16  fall  because  of  thee.  Behold,  I  have  created  the  smith 
that  bloweth  the  fire  of  coals,  and  bringeth  forth  a 
weapon  for  '"his  work ;  and  I  have  created  the  waster 

17  to  destroy.  No  weapon*that  is  formed  against  thee 
shall  prosper:  and  every  tongue  that  shall  rise 
against  thee  in  judgement  thou  shalt  condemn. 
This  is  the  heritage  of  the  servants  of  the  Lord, 
and  "their  righteousness  which  is  of  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

00  Ho,  every  one  that  thirsteth,  come  ye  to  the 
waters,  and  he  that  hath  no  money ;  come  ye,  buy, 
and    eat;   yea,  come,  buy   wine  and   milk  without 

2  money  and  without  price.  Wherefore  do  ye  '^spend 
money  for  that  which  is  not  bread?  and  your 
'^labour  for  that  which  satisfieth  not?  hearken  dili- 
gently  unto   me,  and    eat   ye  that  which    is  good, 

3  and  let  your  soul  delight  itself  in  fatness.  Incline 
your   ear,    and    come    unto    me ;    hear,    and   your

4  Behold,  I  have  given  him  for  •'a  witness  to  the  people, 
'a  leader  and  commander  to  the  people. 

5  'Behold,  thou  shalt  call  a  nation  that  thou  knowest  not,

8  ^"For  my  thoughts  are  not  your  thoughts,  neither  are

9  'For  as  the  heavens  are  higher  than  the  earth,  so  are 
my  ways  higher  than  your  ways,  and  my  thoughts  than 
your  thoughts. 

10  For  ""as  the  rain  cometh  down,  and  the  snow  from 
heaven,  and  returneth  not  thither,  but  watereth  the  earth, 
and  maketh  it  bring  forth  and  bud,  that  it  may  give  seed  to

shall  not  be  cut  off. 

CHAPTER  LVI. 

Sanciification  promised  without  respect  to  persons. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord,  Keep  ye  ||  judgment,  and  do  jus- 
tice :  "for  my  salvation  is  near  to  come,  and  my  right- 
eousness to  be  revealed. 

2  Blessed  is  the  man  that  doeth  this,  and  the  son  of  man 
that  layeth  hold  on  it;  'that  keepeth  the  sabbath  from  pol- 
luting it,  and  keepeth  his  hand  from  doing  any  evil. 

3  ^Neither  let  "the  3on  of  the  stranger,  that  hath  joined 
himself  to  the  Lord,  speak,  saying,  The  Lord  hath  utterly 
separated  me  from  his  people:  neither  let  the  eunuch  say, 
Behold,  I  am  a  dry  tree. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  the  eunuchs  that  keep  my 
sabbaths,  and  choose  the  things  that  please  me,  and  take 
hold  of  my  covenant ; 

5  Even  unto  them  will  I  give  in  ''mine  house  and  within  my 
walls  a  place 'and  a  name  better  than  of  sons  and  of  daughters: 
I  will  give  them  an  everlasting  name,  that  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

6  Also  the  sons  of  the  stranger,  that  join  themselves  to 
the  Lord,  to  serve  him,  and  to  love  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
to  be  his  servants,  every  one  that  keepeth  the  sabbath  from 
polluting  it,  and  taketh  hold  of  my  covenant; 

7  Even  them  will  I  -^bring  to  my  holy  mountain,  and  make 
them  joyful  in  my  hou.se  of  prayer :  "their  burnt  offerings  and 
their  sacrifices  shall  be  accepted  upon  mine  altar;  for 'mine 
hou.se  shall  be  called  a  house  of  prayer  'for  all  people. 

8  The  Lord  God  *which  gathereth  the  outcasts  of  Is'ra-el 
saith,  'Yet  will  I  gather  others  to  him,  fbesides  those  that 
are  gathered  unto  him. 

9  •[['"All  ye  beasts  of  the  field,  come  to  devour;  yea,  all  ye 
beasts  in  the  forest. 

10  His  watchmen  are  "blind:  they  are  all  ignorant,  "they 
are  all  dumb  dogs,  they  cannot  bark ;  |1  sleeping,  lying  down, 
loving  to  shimber. 

11  Yea,  they  are  f "greedy  dogs  which  f'can  never  have 
enough,  and  they  are  shepherds  that  cannot  understand :  they 


soul  shall  live :  and  I  will  make  an  everlasting  cove- 
nant with  you,  even  the  sure  mercies    of  Da'vid 

4  Behold,  I  have  given  him  for  a  witness  to  the 
peoples,  a  'leader  and  commander   to   the    peoples. 

5  Behold,  thou  shalt  call  a  nation  that  thou  knowest 
not,  and  a  nation  that  knew  not  thee  shall  run  unto 
thee,  because  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  for  the 
Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el ;  for  he  hath  glorified  thee. 

6  Seek  ye  the  Lord  while  he  may  be  found,  call  ye 

7  upon  him  while  he  is  near:  let  the  wicked  forsake 
his  way,  and  the    unrighteous    man    his    thoughts 
and  let  him  return  unto  the  Lord,  and  he  will  have 
mercy   upon    him,'  and   to    our    God,    for   he    will 

8  abundantly  pardon.  For  my  thoughts  are  not  your 
thoughts,  neither  are  your  ways  my  ways,  saith  the 

9  Lord.  For  as  the  heavens  are  higher  than  the 
earth,  so  are  my  ways  higher  than  your  ways  and 

10  my  thoughts  than  your  thoughts.  For  as  the  rain 
cometh  down  and  the  snow  from  heaven,  and 
returneth  not  thither,  but  watereth  the  earth,  and 
maketh  it  bring  forth  and  bud,  and  giveth  seed  to 

lithe  sower  and  bread  to  the  eater;  so  shall  my 
word  be  that  goeth  forth  out  of  my  mouth :  it  shall 
not  return  unto  me  void,  but  it  shall  accomplish 
that  which  I  please,  and  it  shall  pro.sper  in  the  thing 

12  whereto  I  sent  it.  For  ye  shall  go  out  with  joy 
and  be  led  forth  with  peace:  the  mountains  and 
the  hills  shall  break  forth  before  you  into  singing, 
and  all  the  trees  of  the  field  shall  clap  their  hands. 

13  Instead  of  the  thorn  shall  come  up  the  fir  tree,  and 
instead  of  the  brier  shall  come  up  the  myrtle  tree : 
and  it  shall  be  to  the  Lord  for  a  name,  for  an  ever- 
lasting sign  that  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

OO  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Keep  ye  judgement,  and 
do  righteousness:   for  my  salvation  is  near  to  come, 

2  and  my  righteousness  to  be  revealed.  Blessed  is 
the  man  that  doeth  this,  and  the  son  of  man  that 
holdeth  fast  by  it;  that  keepeth  the  sabbath  from 
profaning  it,  and  keepeth  his  hand  from  doing   any 

3  evil.  Neither  let  the  stranger,  that  hath  joined 
himself  to  the  Lord,  speak,  saying.  The  Lord  will 
surely  separate  me  from  his  people:    neither  let  the 

4  eunuch  say,  Behold,  I  am  a  dry  tree.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  the  eunuchs  that  keep  my  sab- 
baths, and  choose  the  things    that    please  me,   and 

5  hold  fast  by  my  covenant:  Unto  them  will  I  give 
in  mine  house  and  within  my  walls  a  ^memorial 
and  a  name  'better  than  of  sons  and  of  daughters; 
I  will  give  Hhem  an  everlasting  name,  that  shall  not 

6  be  cut  off.  Also  the  strangers,  that  join  themselves 
to  the  Lord,  to  minister  unto  him,  and  to  love  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  to  be  his  servants,  every  one 
that    keepeth    the    sabbath   from    profaning  it,  and 

7 holdeth  fast  by  my  covenant;  even  them  will  I 
bring  to  my  holy  mountain,  and  make  them  joyful 
in  my  house  of  prayer;  their  burnt  offerings  and 
their  sacrifices  shall  be  accepted  upon  mine  altar: 
for  mine  house  shall  be  called  an  house  of  prayer 

8  for  all  peoples.  The  Lord  God  which  gathereth 
the  outcasts  of  Is'ra-el  saith.  Yet  will  I  gather  others 
to  him,  'beside  his  own  that  are  gathered. 

9  All    ye    beasts   of  tlie   field,   'come    to    devour, 

10  ^ea,  all  ye  beasts  in  the  forest.  His  watchmen 
are  blind,  they  are  all  without  knowledge ;  they 
are  all  dumb  dogs,    they    cannot    bark ;    dreaming, 

11  lying  down,  loving  to  slumber.  Yea,  the  dogs 
are  greedy,  they  can  never  have  enough ;  and 
these  are  shepherds  that  cannot  understand :    they

12  Come  ye,  say  they,  I  will  fetch  wine,  and  we  will  fill 
ourselves  with  strong  drink;  ''and  to-morrow  shall  be  as 
this  day,  and  much  more  abundant. 

CHAPTER    LVII. 

The  blessed  death  of  the  ris;hteous. 

11HE  righteous  perisheth,  and  no  man  layeth  it  to  heart: 
.    and  t"merciful  men  art  taken  away,  ''none  considering 
ihat  the  righteous  is  taken  away  |1  from  the  evil  to  come. 

2  He  shall  ||  enter  into  peace :  they  shall  rest  in  "their  beds, 
each  one  walking  ||  in  his  uprightness. 

3  ^But  draw  near  hither,  ''ye  sons  of  the  sorceress,  the 
seed  of  the  adulterer  and  the  whore.  > 

4  Against  whom  do  ye  sport  yourselves?  against  whom 
make  ye  a  wide  mouth,  and  draw  out  the  tongue?  are  ye 
not  children  of  transgression,  a  seed  of  falsehood, 

5  Inflaming  yourselves  ||  with  idols  'under  every  green 
tree,  -'slaying  the  children  in  the  valleys  under  the  clefts  of 
the  rocks? 

6  Among  the  smooth  stones  of  the  stream  is  thy  portion ; 
they,  they  are  thy  lot:  even  to  them  hast  thou  poured  a 
drink  offering,  thou  hast  offered  a  meat  offering.  Should  I 
receive  comfort  in  these  ? 

7  "Upon  a  lofty  and  high  mountain  hast  thou  set  ''thy  bed: 
even  thither  wentest  thou  up  to  offer  sacrifice. 

8  Behind  the  doors  also  and  the  posts  hast  thou  set  up 
thy  remembrance  :  for  thou  hast  discovered  thyself  to  another 
than  me,  and  art  gone  up ;  thou  hast  enlarged  thy  bed,  and 
II  made  thee  a  covenant  with  them;  "thou  lovedst  their  bed 
II  where  thou  sawest  it. 

9  And  II  *thou  wentest  to  the  king  with  ointment,  and  didst 
increase  thy  perfumes,  and  didst  send  thy  messengers  far  off", 
and  didst  debase  thyself  even  unto  hell. 

10  Thou  art  wearied  in  the  greatness  of  thy  way  'yet 
saidst  thou  not.  There  is  no  hope :  thou  hast  found  the 
II life  of  thine  hand;  therefore  thou  wast  not  grieved. 

11  And  "of  whom  hast  thou  been  afraid  or  feared,  that 
thou  hast  lied,  and  hast  not  remembered  me,  nor  laid  it  to 
thy  heart  ?  "have  not  I  held  my  peace  even  of  old,  and  thou 
fearest  me  not  ? 

12  I  will  declare  thy  righteousness,  and  thy  works;  for 
they  shall  not  profit  thee. 

13  ^When  thou  criest,  let  thy  companies  deliver  thee ;  but 
the  wind  shall  carry  them  all  away ;  vanity  shall  take  them  : 
but  he  that  putteth  his  trust  in  me  shall  possess  the  land, 
and  shall  inherit  my  holy  mountain ; 

14  And  shall  say,  "Cast  ye  up,  cast  ye  up,  prepare  the 
way,  take  up  the  stumblingblock  out  of  the  way  of  my 
people. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  high  and  lofty  One  that  inhabiteth 
eternity,  ''whose  name  is  Holy;  "I  dwell  in  the  high  and 
holy  place,  •'with  him  also  that  is  of  a  contrite  and  humble 
spirit,  'to  revive  the  spirit  of  the  humble,  and  to  revive  the 
heart  of  the  contrite  ones. 

16  'For  I  will  not  contend  for  ever,  neither  will  I  be 
always  wroth :  for  the  spirit  should  fail  before  me,  and  the 
souls  "which  I  have  made. 

17  For  the  iniquity  of  "^his  covetousness  was  I  wroth,  and 
smote  him:  "I  hid  me,  and  was  wroth,  'and  he  went  on 
ffrowardly  in  the  way  of  his  heart. 

18  I  have  seen  his  ways,  and  "will  heal  him :  I  will  lead  him 
also,  and  restore  comforts  unto  him  and  to  ''his  mourners. 

19  I  create  ''the  fruit  of  the  lips;  Peace,  peace  Ho  him  that 
is  far  off",  and  to  him  that  is  near,  saith  the  Lord  ;  and  I  will 
heal  him. 

20  'But  the  wicked  are  like  the  troubled  sea,  when  it  can- 
not rest,  whose  waters  cast  up  mire  and  dirt. 

21  ^There  is  no  peace,  saith  my  God,  to  the  wicked. 


nave  all  turned  to  ttieir  own  way,  each  one  to  his 

12  gain,  'from  every  quarter.  Come  ye,  say  they,  I  will 
fetch  wine,  and  we  will  fill  ourselves  with  strong 
drink;  and  to-morrow  shall  be  as  this  day,  a  day 
great  beyond  measure. 

04  The  righteous  perisheth,  and  no  man  layeth  it 
to  heart;  and  ^merciful  men  are  taken  away,  none 
considering  that  the  righteous  is  taken  away 
2^f'rom  the  evil  to  come.  He  entereth  into  peace; 
they  rest  in  their  beds,  each  one  that  walketh  ^in  his 
uprightness. 

3  But  draw  near  hither,  ye  sons  of  the   sorceress, 

4  the  seed  of  the  adulterer  and  the  whore.  Against 
whom  do  ye  sport  yourselves?  against  whom  make 
ye  a  wide  mouth,  and  draw  out  the  tongue?  are  ye 
not  children  of  transgression,  a  seed   of  falsehood, 

5  ye  that  inflame  yourselves  'among  the  oaks,  under 
every    green   tree;    that   slay    the   children    in    the 

6  valleys,  under  the  clefts  of  the  rocks  ?  Among  the 
smooth  stones  of  the  valley  is  thy  portion ;  they, 
they  are  thy  lot:  even  to  them  hast  thou  poured  a 
drink  offering,  thou  hast  offered  'an  oblation.     Shall 

71  be  appeased  for  these  things?  Upon  a  high  and 
lofty  moimtain  hast  thou  set  thy  bed :  thither  also 

8  wentest  thou  up  to  offer  sacrifice.  And  behind  the 
doors  and  the  posts  hast  thou  set  up  thy  memorial : 
for  thou  hast  discovered  thyself  to  another  than  me, 
and  art  gone  up;  thou  hast  enlarged  thy  bed,  and 
made    thee   a   covenant   with    them;    thou    lovedst 

9  their  bed  where  thou  sawest  it.  And  thou  wentest 
to  the  king  with  ointment,  and  didst  increase  thy 
perfumes,  and  didst  send  thine  ambassadors  far  off, 

10  and  didst  debase  thyself  even  unto  'hell.  Thou 
wast  wearied  with  the  length  of  thy  way ;  yet  saidst 
thou  not.  There  is  no  hope :  thou  didst  find  'a 
quickening   of  thy    strength;    therefore    thou   wast 

11  not  'faint.     And  of  whom  hast  thou  been  afraid  and 
.   in  fear,  that  thou   liest,  and  hast  not  remembered 

me,  nor  laid  it  to  thy  heart?    have   not  I  held  my 

peace  even  of  long  time,  and  thou  fearest  me  not? 

121  will   declare  thy  righteousness;   and  as    for  thy 

13  works,  they  shall  not  profit  thee.  When  thou 
criest,  let  '"them  which  thou  hast  gathered  deliver 
thee ;  but  the  wind  shall  take  them,  a  breath  shall 
carry  them  all  away:  but  he  that  putteth  his  trust 
in  me  shall  possess  the  land,  and  shall  inherit  my 

14  holy  mountain.  And  "he  shall  say.  Cast  ye  up, 
cast  ye  up,  prepare  the  way,  take  up  the  stumbling- 
block  out  of  the  way  of  my  people. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  high  and  lofty  One  that  in- 
habiteth eternity,  whose  name  is  Holy :  I  dwell  in 
the  high  and  holy  place,  with  him  also  that  is  of  a 
contrite  and  humble  spirit,  to  revive  the  spirit  of 
the  humble,  and  to  revive  the  heart  of  the  contrite 

16  ones.  For  I  will  not  contend  for  ever,  neither  will  I 
be  always  wroth :  for  the  spirit  should  '^fail  before 

17  me,  and  the  souls  which  I  have  made.  For  the 
iniquity  of  his  covetousness  was  I  wroth  and  smote 
him,  I  hid  my  face  and  was  wroth:  and  he  went  on 

18  "frowardly  in  the  way  of  his  heart.  I  have  seen  his 
ways,  and  will  heal  him  :  I  will  lead  him  also,  and 
'■•restore  comforts  unto   him  and  to   his  mourners. 

191  create  the  fruit  of  the  lips:  Peace,  peace,  to  him 
that  is  far  off  and  to  him  that  is  near,  saith  the  Lord; 

20  and  I  will  heal  him.  But  the  wicked  are  like  the 
troubled  sea;  for  it  cannot  rest,  and  its  waters  cast 

21  up  mire  and  dirt.  There  is  no  peace,  saith  my  God, 
to  the  wicked.

CRY  faloud,  spare  not,  lift  up  thy  voice  like  a  trumpet, 
and  shew  my  people  their  transgression,  and  the  house 
of  Ja'cob  their  sins. 

2  Yet  they  seek  me  daily,  and  delight  to  know  my  ways, 
as  a  nation  that  did  righteousness,  and  forsook  not  the 
ordinance  of  their  God :  they  ask  of  me  the  ordinances  of 
justice :  they  take  delight  in  approaching  to  God. 

3  *ff'"Wherefore  have  we  fasted,  say  they,  and  thou  seest 
not?  wherefore  have  we  'afflicted  our  soul,  and  thou  takest 
no  knowledge?  Behold,  iu  the  day  of  your  fast  ye  find 
pleasure,  and  exact  all  your  Hflabours. 

4  'Behold,  ye  fast  for  strife  and  debate,  and  to  smite  with 
the  fist  of  wickedness;  ||ye  shall  not  fast  as  ye  do  this  day, 
to  make  your  voice  to  be  heard  on  high. 

5  Is  it  "such  a  fast  that  I  have  chosen?  "Ija  day  for  a  man 
to  afflict  his  soul  ?  is  it  to  bow  down  his  head  as  a  bulrush, 
and  ■'to  spread  sackcloth  and  ashes  under  him?  wilt  thou 
call  this  a  fast,  and  an  acceptable  day  to  the  liORD? 

6  Is  not  this  the  fiist  that  I  have  chosen?  to  loose  the 
bands  of  wickedness,  "to  undo  fthe  heavy  burdens,  and  ''to 
let  the  foppressed  go  free,  and  that  ye  break  every  yoke  ? 

7  7s  it  not  "to  deal  thy  bread  to  the  hungry,  and  that  thou 
bring  the  poor  that  are  ||cast  out  to  thy  house?  *when  thou

thine  health  shall  spring  forth  speedily  :  and  thy  righteous- 
ness shall  go  before  thee ;  "the  glory  of  the  Lord  fshall  be 
thy  rearward. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and  the  Lord  shall  answer ;  thou 
shalt  cry,  and  he  shall  say.  Here  I  am.  If  thou  take  away 
from  the  midst  of  thee  the  yoke,  the  putting  forth  of  the 
finger,  and  "speaking  vanity  ; 

10  And  if  thou  draw  out  thy  soul  to  the  hungry,  and 
sastisfy  the  afflicted  soul ;  then  shall  thy  light  rise  in  obscur- 
ity, and  thy  darkness  be  as  the  noonday : 

11  And  the  Lord  shall  guide  thee  continually,  and  satisfy 
thy  soul  in  fdrought,  and  make  fat  thy  bones:  and  thou 
shalt  be  like  a  watered  garden,  and  like  a  spring  of  water, 
whose  waters  ffail  not. 

1 2  And  they  that  shall  be  of  thee  "shall  build  the  old  waste 
places :  thou  shalt  raise  up  the  foundations  of  many  gener- 
ations; and  thou  shalt  be  called.  The  repairer  of  the  breach, 
The  restorer  of  paths  to  dwell  in. 

13  ^If  "thou  turn  away  thy  foot  from  the  sabbath,  from 
doing  thy  pleasure  on  my  iioly  day ;  and  call  the  sabbath  a 
delight,  the  holy  of  the  Lord,  honourable;  and  shalt 
honour  him,  not  doing  thine  own  ways,  nor  finding  thine 
own  pleasure,  nor  speaking  thine  own  words : 

14  'Then  shalt  thou  delight  thyself  in  the  Lord;  and  I 
will  cause  thee  to  'ride  upon  the  high  places  of  the  earth, 
and  feed  thee  with  the  heritage  of  Ja'cob  thy  father:  'for 
the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

CHAPTER    LIX. 

Punishment  of  Israel  /or  sin. 

BEHOLD,  the  Lord's  hand  is  not  "shortened,  that  it 
cannot  save;  neither  his  ear  heavy,  that  it  cannot  hear: 

2  But  your  iniquities  have  separated  between  you  and 
your  God,  and  your  sins  ||have  hid  his  face  from  you,  that 
he  will  not  hear. 

3  For  'your  hands  are  defiled  with  blood,  and  your  fin- 
gers with  iniquity ;  your  lips  have  spoken  lies,  your  tongue 
hath  muttered  perverseness. 

4  None  calleth  for  justice,  nor  any  pleadeth  for  truth:  they 
trust  in  vanity,  and  speak  lies;  they  conceive  mischief,  and 
bring  forth  iniquity. 

5  They  hatch  ||  cockatrice' eggs,  and  weave  the  spider's  web : 


Cry  'aloud,  spar©  not,  lift  up  thy  voice  like  a 
trumpet,  and  declare  unto  my  people  their  trans- 
gression,  and  to   the   house    of  Ja'cob    their    sins. 

2  Yet  they  seek  me  daily,  and  delight  to  know  my 
ways:  as  a  nation  that  did  righteousness,  and  for- 
sook not  the  ^ordinance  of  their  God,  they  ask  of 
me  righteous  ordinances,  they  delight  to  draw  near 

3  unto  God.  Wherefore  have  we  fasted,  say  they,  and 
thou  seest  not?  wherefore  have  we  afflicted  oup 
soul,  and  thou  takest  no  knowledge?  Behold,  in 
the  day  of  your  fast  ye  find  your  own  pleasure,  and 

4*exact  all  your  labours.  Behold,  ye  fast  for  strife 
and  contention,  and  to  smite  with  the  fist  of  wick- 
edness:  *ye  fast  not  this   day  so  as  to  make  your 

5  voice  to  be  heard  on  high.  Is  such  the  fast  that  I 
have  chosen?  the  day  for  a  man  to  afflict  his  soul? 
Is  it  to  bow  down  his  head  as  a  rush,  and  to  spread 
sackcloth  and  ashes  under  him  ?  wilt  th.ju  call  this  a 

6 fast,  and  an  acceptable  day  to  the  Lord?  Is  not 
this  the  fast  that  I  have  chosen  ?  to  loose  the  bonds 
of  wickedness,  to  undo  the  bands  of  the  yoke,  and 
to   let  the   oppressed   go   free,   and    that    ye  break 

7 every  yoke?  Is  it  not  to  deal  thy  bread  to  the 
hungry,  and  that  thou  bring  the  poor  that  are  cast 
out  to  thy  house?  when  thou  seest  the  naked,  that 
thou  cover  him;  and  that  thou   hide   not    thyself 

8  from  thine  own  flesh  ?  Then  shall  thy  light  break 
forth  as  the  morning,  and  thy  healing  shall  spring 
forth  speedily:  and  thy  righteousness  shall  go 
before  thee;  the  glory  of  the  Lord  shall  be  thy 

9  rearward.  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and  the  Lord 
shall  answer;  thou  shalt  cry  and  he  shall  say, 
Here  I  am.  If  thou  take  away  from  the  midst  of 
thee  the  yoke,  the  putting  forth  of  the  finger,  and 

lOspeaking  wickedly;  and  if  thou  "draw  out  thy  soul 
to  the  hungry,  and  satisfy  the  afflicted  soul ;  then 
shall  thy  light  rise  in  darkness,  and  thine  obscurity 

11  be  as  the  noonday:  and  the  Lord  shall  guide  thee 
continually,  and  satisfy  thy  soul  in  Mry  places,  and 
make  strong  thy  bones;  and  thou  shalt  be  like  a 
watered  garden,  and  like  a  spring  of  water,  whose 

12  waters  fail  not.  And  they  that  shall  be  of  thee 
shall  build  the  old  waste  places :  thou  shalt  raise  up 
the  foundations  of  many  generations ;  and  thou  shalt 
be  called  The  repairer  of  the  breach.  The  restorer 

13  of  paths  to  dwell  in.  If  thou  turn  away  thy  foot 
from  the  sabbath,  from  doing  thy  pleasure  on  my 
holy  day;  and  call  the  sabbath  a  delight,  and  the 
holy  of  the  Lord,  honourable ;  and  shalt  hono.ur  "it, 
not  doing  thine  own  ways,  nor  finding  thine  own 

14  pleasure,  nor  speaking  thine  own  words :  then  shalt 
thou  delight  thyself  in  the  Lord  ;  and  I  will  make 
thee  to  ride  upon  the  high  places  of  the  earth;  and  I 
will  feed  thee  with  the  heritage  of  Ja'cob  thy  father : 
for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

Ov  Behold,'  the  Lord's  hand  is  not  shortened, 
that  it  cannot  save;    neither   his   ear   heavy,    that 

2 it  cannot  hear:  but  your  iniquities  have  sepa- 
rated between  you  and  your  God,  and  your  sins 
have    hid    his    face    from    you,    that    he    will    not 

Shear.  For  your  hands  are  defiled  with  blood,  and 
your  fingers  with  iniquity ;  your  lips  have  spoken 

4  lies,  your  tongue  muttereth  wickedness.  None 
'sueth  in  righteousness,  and  none  pleadeth  in 
truth:   they   trust  in   vanity,   and  speak  lies;   they 

6  conceive  mischief,  and  bring  forth  iniquity.  They 
hatch  'basilisks'  eggs,  and  weave  the  spider's  web :

they  cover  themselves  with  their  works:  their  works  are 
works  of  iniquity,  and  the  act  of  violence  is  in  their  hands. 

7  "Their  feet  run  to  evil,  and  they  make  haste  to  shed  in- 
nocent blood :  their  thoughts  are  thoughts  of  iniquity ; 
wasting  and  fdestruction  are  in  their  paths. 

8  The  way  of  peace  they  know  not :  and  there  is  no  ||  judg- 
ment in  their  goings :  ■'^they  have  made  them  crooked  paths ; 
whosoever  goeth  therein  shall  not  know  peace. 

9  ^yTherefore  is  judgment  far  froin  us,  neither  doth  justice 
overtake  us:  "we  wait  for  light,  but  behold  obscurity;  for 
brightness,  but  we  walk  in  darkness. 

10  *\Ve  grope  for  the  wall  like  the  blind,  and  we  grope  as 
if  we  had  no  eyes :  we  stumble  at  noonday  as  in  the  night ; 
we  are  in  desolate  places  as  dead  men. 

11  We  roar  all  like  bears,  and  'mourn  sore  like  doves :  we 
look  for  judgment,  but  thei-e  is  none ;  for  salvation,  but  it  is 
far  oif  from  us. 

12  For  oui  transgressions  are  multiplied  before  thee,  and 
our  sins  testify  against  us :  for  our  transgressions  are  with 
us ;  and  as  for  our  iniquities,  we  know  them  ; 

13  In  tran.sgressiug  and  lying  against  the  Lord,  and  de- 
parting away  from  our  God,  speaking  oppression  and  revolt, 
conceiving  and  uttering  *from  the  heart  words  of  falsehood. 

14  And  judgment  is  turned  away  backward,  and  justice 
standeth  afar  off:  for  truth  is  fallen  in  the  street,  and  equity 
can  not  enter. 

15  Yea,  truth  faileth;  and  he  that  departeth  from  evil 
II  maketh  himself  a  prey:  and  the  Lord  saw  it,  and  fit 
displeased  him  that  thei-e  was  no  judgment. 

16  ^'And  he  saw  that  there  was  no  man,  and  "wondered 
that  there  was  no  intercessor :  "therefore  his  arm  brought 
salvation  unto  him;  and  his  righteousness,  it  sustained  him. 

17  "For  he  put  on  righteousness  as  a  breastplate,  and  a 
helmet  of  salvation  upon  his  head ;  and  he  put  on  the  gar- 
ments of  vengeance  for  clothing,  and  was  clad  with  zeal  as 
a  cloak. 

18  P According  to  their  fdeeds,  accordingly  he  will  repay, 
fury  to  his  adversaries,  recompense  to  his  enemies ;  to  the 
islands  he  will  repay  recompense. 

19  'So  shall  they  fear  the  name  of  the  Lord  from  the 
west,  and  his  glory  from  the  rising  of  the  sun.  When  the 
enemy  shall  come  in  'like  a  flood,  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
shall  II  lift  up  a  standard  against  him. 

20  TJAnd  'the  Eedeemer  shall  come  to  Zi'on,  and  unto 
them  that  turn  from  transgression  in  Ja'cob,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  'As  for-  me,  this  is  my  covenant  with  them,  saith  the 
Lord  ;  My  Spirit  that  is  upon  thee,  and  my  words  which  I 
have  put  iu  thy  mouth,  shall  not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth, 
nor  out  of  the  mouth  of  thy  seed,  nor  out  of  the  mouth  of 
thy  seed's  seed,  saith  the  Lord,  from  henceforth  and  for  ever 

CHAPTER   LX. 

Glorious  access  of  the  Gentries. 

ARISE,  "11  shine;  for  thy  light  is   come,  and  'the   glory 
of  the  Lord  is  risen  upon  thee. 
2  For,    behold,  the  darkness  shall   cover  the    earth,  and 
gross  darkness  the  people:  but  the  Lord  shall  arise   upon 
thee,  and  his  glory  shall  be  seen  upon  thee. 

3' And  the  ''Gentiles  shall  come  to  thy  light,  and  kings  to 
the  brightness  of  thy  rising. 

4  ''Lift  up  thine  eyes  round  about,  and  see ;  all  they  gather 
them.selves  together,  'they  come  to  thee :  thy  sons  shall  come 
from  far,  and  thy  daughters  shall  be  nursed  at  thy  side. 

5  Then  thou  shalt  see,  and  flow  together,  and  thine  heart 
shall  fear,  and  be  enlarged;  because  -^the  ||  abundance  of  the 
sea  shall  be  converted  unto  thee,  the  ||  forces  of  the  Gentiles 
shall  come  unto  thee. 


he  that  eateth  of  their  eggs  dieth,  and  that  which  is 

6  crushed  breaketh  out  into  a  viper.  Their  webs  shall 
not  become  garments,  neither  shall  they  cover  them- 
selves with  their  works :  their  works  are  works  of 
iniquity,  and  the  act  of  violence  is  in  their  hands. 

7  Their  feet  run  to  evil,  and  they  make  haste  to  shed 
innocent  blood :  their  thoughts  are  thoughts  of 
iniquity;    desolation   and   destruction   are   in    their 

8  'paths.  The  way  of  peace  they  know  not :  and  there 
is  no  ^judgement  in  their  goings :  they  have  made 
them  crooked  paths ;  whosoever  goeth  therein  doth 

9  not  know  peace.  Therefore  is  judgement  far  from 
us,  neither  doth  righteousness  overtake  us :  we  look 
for  light,  but  behold  darkness ;  for  brightness,  but 

10  we  walk  in  obscurity.  We  grope  for  the  wall  like 
the  blind,  yea,  we  grope  as  they  that  have  no  eyes : 
we  stumble  at  noonday  as  in  the  twilight;  ^among 

11  them  that  are  lusty  we  are  as  dead  men.  We  roar 
all  like  bears,  and  mourn  sore  like  doves :  we  look 
for  judgement,  but  there  is  none  ;  for  salvation,  but 

12  it  is  far  off  from  us.  For  our  transgressions  are 
multiplied  before  thee,  and  our  sins  testify  agj>inst 
us:  for   our  transgressions   are  with   us,  and  as  for 

13  our  iniquities,  we  know  them  :  in  transgressing  and 
denying  the  Lord,  and  turning  away  from  following 
our  God,  speaking  oppression  and  revolt,  conceiving 
and    uttering   from    the    heart    words  of  falsehood. 

14  And  judgement  is  turned  away  backward,  and 
righteousness  standeth  afar  off:  for  truth  is  fallen  in 

15  the  street,  and  uprightness  can  not  enter.  Yea,  truth 
is  lacking ;  and  he  that  departeth  from  evil  maketh 
himself  a   prey :  and  the  Lord  saw   it,  and  it  dis- 

16  pleased  him  that  there  was  no  judgement.  And  he 
saw  that  there  was  no  man,  and  wondered  that  there 
was  ^no  intercessor :  therefore  his  own  arm  brought 
salvation  unto  him ;  and  his  righteousness,  it  upheld 

17  him.  And  he  put  on  righteousness  as  a  'breastplate, 
and  'an  helmet  of  salvation  upon  his  head ;  and  he 
put  on  garments  of  vengeance  for  clothing,  and  was 

18  clad  with  zeal  as  a  cloke.  According  to  their  Meeds, 
accordingly  he  will  repay,  fury  to  his  adversaries, 
recompence  to  his  enemies ;  to  the  "islands   he  will 

19  repay  recompence.  So  shall  they  fear  the  name  of 
the  Lord  from  the  west,  and  his  glory  from  the 
rising  of  the  sun:  'for  he  shall  come  as  '"a   rushing 

20  stream,  which  the  breath  of  the  LoRDdriveth.  And 
a  redeemer  shall  come  to  Zi'on,  and  unto  them  that 
turn  from  transgression  in   Ja'cob,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  And  as  for  me,  this  is  my  covenant  with  them,  saith 
the  Lord  :  my  spirit  that  is  upon  thee,  and  my  words 
which  I  have  put  in  thy  mouth,  shall  not  depart  out 
of  thy  mouth,  nor  out  of  the  mouth  of  thy  seed, 
nor  out  of  the  mouth  of  thy  seed's  seed,  saith  the 
Lord,  from  henceforth  and  for  ever. 

'^  V      Arise,  shine ;  for  thy  light  is  come,  and  the  glory 

2  of  the  Lord  is  risen  upon  thee.  For,  behold,  dark- 
ness shall  cover  the  earth,  and  gross  darkness  the 
peoples :  but  the  Lord  shall  arise  upon  thee,  and  his 

3  glory  shall  be  seen  upon  thee.  And  nations  shall  come 
to  thy  light,  and  kings  to  the  brightness  of  thy  rising. 

4  Lift  up  thine  eyes  round  about, and  see:  theyaligather 
themselves  together,  they  come  to  thee  :  thy  sons  shall 
come  from  far,  and  thy  daughters  shall  be  "carried  in 

5  the  arms.  Then  thou  shalt  see  and  "be  lightened, 
and  thine  heart  shall  tremble  and  be  enlarged;  be- 
cause the  abundance  of  the  sea  shall  be  turned  unto 
thee,  the  wealth  of  the  nations  shall  come  unto  thee.

The  office  of  Christ. 

THE  "Spirit  of  the  Lord  God  is  upon  me ;  because  the 
Lord  'hath  anointed  me  to  preach  good  tidings  unto

day  of  vengeance  of  our  God ;  'to  comfort  all  that  mourn ; 

3  To  appoint  unto  them  that  mourn  in  Zi'on,  *to  give  unto 
them  beauty  for  ashes,  the  oil  of  joy  for  mourning,  the  gar- 
ment of  praise  for  the  spirit  of  heaviness;  that  they  might 


6  The  multitude  of  camels  shall  cover  thee,  the

7  the  Lord.  All  the  flocks  of  Ke'dar  shall  be  gath- 
ered together  unto  thee,  the  rams  of  Ne-ba'ioth

acceptance  on  mine  altar,  and  I  will  'glorify  *the 

8  house  of  my  glory.     Who  are  these  that  fly  as  a 

9  cloud,  and  as  the  doves  to  their  windows  ?  Surely 
the  isles  shall  wait  for  me,  and  the  ships  of  Tar'shish 
first,  to  bring  thy  sons  from  far,  their  silver  and 
their  gold  with  them,  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  for  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el,  because  he 

10  hath  'glorified  thee.  And  strangers  shall  build  up 
thy  walls,  and  their  kings  shall  minister  unto  thee : 
for   in    my   wrath    I  smote  thee,  but  in  my  favour

been  forsaken  and  hated,  so  that  no  man  passed 
through  thee,  I  will  make  thee  an  eternal  excellency, 

16  a  joy  of  many  generations.  Thou  shalt  also  suck 
the  milk  of  the  nations,  and  shalt  suck  the  breast  of 
kings;  and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  the  Lord  am 
thy  saviour,  and  thy  redeemer,  the  Mighty  One  of 

17. Ja'cob.  For  brass  I  will  bring  gold,  and  for  iron  I

5  And  "strangers  shall  stand  and  feed  your  flocks,  and  the

ru'sa-lem's  sake  I  will  not  rest,  until  the  rigiiteousness

delighteth  in  thee,  and  thy  land  shall  be  married. 

5  ^For  as  a  young  man  marrieth  a  virgin,  so  shall  thy 
.sons  marry  thee :  and  fas  the  bridegroom  rejoiceth  over  the

Still  he  make  Je-ru'sa-lem  a  praise  in  the  earth.     The

CHAPTER   LXIII. 

Christ  sheweth  his  power  to  save. 

WHO  is  this  that  cometh  from  E'dom,  with  dyed  gar- 
ments from  Boz'rah?  this  that  is  f glorious  in  his  ap- 
parel, travelling  in  the  greatness  of  his  strength  ?  I  that 
speak  in  righteousness,  mighty  to  save. 

2  Wherefore  'art  thou  red  in  thine  apparel,  and  thy  gar- 
ments like  him  that  treadeth  in  the  winefat  ? 

3  I  have  'trodden  the  winepress  alone ;  and  of  the  people 
there  was  none  with  me:  tor  I  will  tread  them  in  mine 
anger,  and  trample  them  in  my  fury ;  and  their  blood  shall  be 
sprinkled  upon  my  garments,  and  I  will  stain  all  my  raiment. 

4  For  the  ''day  of  vengeance  is  in  mine  heart,  and  the 
year  of  my  redeemed  is  come. 

5  ''And  I  looked,  and  'there  was  none  to  help :  and  I  wondered 
that  there  was  none  to  uphold:  therefore  mine  own  -^arm 
brought  salvation  unto  me ;  and  my  fury,  it  upheld  me. 

6  And  I  will  tread  down  the  people  in  mine  anger,  and 
"make  them  drunk  in  my  fury,  and  1  will  bring  down  their 
strength  to  the  earth. 

7  *|[I  will  mention  the  lovingkindnesses  of  the  Lohd,  and 
the  praises  of  the  Lord,  according  to  all  that  the  Lord 
bath  bestowed  on  us,  and  the  great  goodness  toward  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el,  which  he  hath  bestowed  on  them  accord- 
ing to  his  mercies,  and  according  to  the  multitude  of  his 
lovingkindnesses. 

8  For  he  said,  Surely  they  are  my  people,  children  that 
will  not  lie :  so  he  was  their  Saviour. 

9  '■In  all  their  affliction  he  was  afflicted,  "and  the  angel  of 
his  presence  saved  them:  *in  his  love  and  in  his  pity  he 
redeemed  them ;  and  'he  bare  them,  and  carried  them  all 
the  days  of  old. 

10  ^But  they  ""rebelled,  and  "vexed  his  Holy  Spirit: 
"therefore  he  was  turned  to  be  their  enemy,  and  he  fought 
against  them. 

11  Then  he  remembered  the  days  of  old,  Mo'ses,  and  his 
people,  saying,  AVhere  is  he  that  "brought  them  up  out  of 
the  sea  with  the  ||  shepherd  of  his  flock?  "where  is  he  that 
put  his  Holy  Spirit  within  him? 

12  That  led  them  by  the  right  hand  of  Mo'ses  ""with  his 
glorious  arm,  'dividing  the  water  before  them,  to  make 
himself  an  everlasting  name  ? 

13  'That  led  them  through  the  deep  as  a  horse  in  the 
wilderness,  that  they  should  not  stumble' 

14  As  a  bea.st  goeth  down  into  the  valley,  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  caused  him  to  rest:  so  didst  thou  lead  thy  people, 
"to  make  thyself  a  glorious  name. 

15  ^'Look  down  from  heaven,  and  behold  •'from  the 
habitation  of  thy  holiness  and  of  thy  glory :  where  is  thy 
zeal  and  thy  strength,  l|the  sounding  'of  thy  bowels  and  of 
thy  mercies  toward  me?  are  they  restrained? 

1 6  "Doubtless  thou  art  our  Father,  though  A'bra-ham  be  'ig- 
norant of  us,  and  Is'ra-el  acknowledge  us  not ;  thou,  O  Lord, 
art  our  Father,  ||  our  Redeemer ;  thy  name  is  from  everlasting. 

17  ^O  Lord,  why  hast  thou  ''made  us  to  err  from  thy 
ways,  and  ''hardened  our  heart  from  thy  fear?  'Return  for 
thy  servants'  sake,  the  tribes  of  thine  inheritance. 

18  -^he  people  of  thy  holiness  have  pos.sessed  it  but  a  little 
while :  "our  adversaries  have  trodden  down  thy  sanctuary. 

19  We  are  thine:  thou  never  barest  rule  over  them;  ||they 
were  not  called  by  thy  name. 

CHAPTER    LXIV. 

The  church  prayeth  for  the  illustration  of  God's  power. 

OH   that  thou   wouldest  "rend   the    heavens,   that  thou 
wouldest  come  down,  that  'the  mountains  might  flow 
down  at  thy  presence, 

2  As  whefn  fthe  melting  fire  burneth,  the  fire  causoth  the 
waters  to  boil,  to  make  thy  name  known  to  thine  adversa- 
ries, thai  the  nations  may  tremble  at  thy  presence  I 


00  Who  is  this  that  cometh  from  E'dom,  with  *dyed 
garments  from  Boz'rah  ?  this  that  is  glorious  in  his 
apparel,  marching  in  the  greatness  of  his  sti;ength? 
I   that    speak    in    righteousness,   mighty    to    save. 

2  Wherefore  art  thou  red  in  thine  apparel,  and  thy 

3 garments  like  him  that  treadeth  in  the  winefat?  I 
have  trodden  the  winepress  alone;  and  of  the  peoples 
there  was  no  man  with  me:  yea,  I  Hrod  them  in 
mine  anger,  and  trampled  them  in  my  fury ;  and  their 
'lifeblood  ''is  sprinkled  upon    my  garments,  and  I 

4 'have  stained  all  my  raiment.  For  the  day  of  ven- 
geance 'was    in    mine    heart,  and  'the   year  of  my 

5  redeemed  is  come.  And  I  looked,  and  there  was 
none  to  help;  and  I  wondered  that  there  was  none 
to  uphold :  therefore  mine  own  arm  brought  salva 

6tion  unto  me;  and  my  fury,  it  upheld  me.  And  "I 
trod  down  the  peoples  in  mine  anger,  and  "made 
them  drunk  in  my  fury,  and  I  '"poured  out  their 
lifeblood  on  the  earth. 

7  I  will  make  mention  of  the  lovingkindnesses  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  praises  of  the  Lord,  according 
to  all  that  the  Lord  hath  bestowed  on  us;  and  the 
great  goodness  toward  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  which 
he  hath  bestowed  on  them  according  to  his  mercies, 
and  according  to  the  multitude  of  his  lovingkind- 

8  nesses.      For  he  said.  Surely,  they  are  my  people 

'   children  that  will  not  deal  falsely:  so  he  was  their 

9  saviour.  "In  all  their  affliction  he  was  afflicted,  and 
the  angel  of  his  presence  saved  them :  in  his  love 
and    in    his  pity  he  redeemed  them ;    and  he  bare 

10  them,  and  carried  them  all  the  days  of  old.  But 
they  rebelled,  and  grieved  his  holy  spirit :  therefore 
he  was  turned  to  be  their  enemy,  and  himself  fought 

1 1  against  them.  '^Then  he  remembered  the  days  of 
old,  Mo'ses,  and  his  people,  saying,  Where  is  he  that 
brought  them  up  out  of  the  sea  with  the  "shepherds 
of  his  flock?  where  is  he  that  put  his  holy  spirit  in 

12  the  midst  of  them?  that  caused  his  glorious  arm 
to  go  at  the  right  hand  of  Mo'ses  ?  that  divided  the 
water  before  them,  to  make  himself  an  everlasting 

13  name?  that  led  them  through  the  depths,  as  an 
horse    in    the  wilderness,  that   they  stumbled  not? 

14  As  the  cattle  that  go  down  into  the  valley,  the  spirit 
of  the  Lord  caused  them  to  rest:  so  didst  thou 
lead  thy  people,  to   make  thyself  a  glorious  name. 

15  Look  down  from  heaven,  and  behold  from  the  habi- 
tation of  thy  holiness  and  of  thy  glory :  Avhere  is 
thy  zeal  and  thy  mighty  acts?  the  yearning  of  thy 
bowels  and  thy  compassions  are  restrained  toward 

16  me.  For  thou  art  our  father,  though  A'bra-ham 
knoweth  us  not,  and  Is'ra-el  doth  not  acknowledge 
us :    thou,  O  Lord,  art  our  father ;    our   redeemer 

17  from  everlasting  is  thy  name.  O  Lord,  why  dost 
thou  make  us  to  err  from  thy  ways,  and  hardenest 
our  heart  from  thy  fear?     Return  for  thy  servants' 

18  sake,  the  tribes  of  thine  inheritance.  Thy  holy 
people  possessed  it  but  a  little  while  :  our  adversaries 

19  have  trodden  down  thy  sanctuary.  We  are  become 
as  they  over  whom  thou  never  barest  rule ;  as  they 

gA  that  were  not  called  by  thy  name.  Oh  that  thou 
wouldest  rend  the  heavens,  that  thou  wouldest 
come  down,  that  the  mountains  might  "flow  down 
2 at  thy  presence;  as  when  fire  kindleth  the  brusli- 
wood,  and  the  fire  causeth  the  waters  to  boil : 
to  make  thy  name  known  to  thine  adversaries, 
that  the    nations    may    tremble   at   thy    presence!

3  When  ''thou  did.st  terrible  things  which  we  looked  not  for, 
thou  earnest  down,  the  mountains  flowed  down  at  thy  presence. 

4  For  since  the  beginning  of  the  world  ''men  have  not 
heard,  nor  perceived  by  the  ear,  neither  hath  the  eye  ||seen, 

0  God,  besides  thee,  what  he   hath  prepared  for  him  that 
waiteth  for  him. 

5  Thou  meetest  him  that  rejoiceth  "and  worketh  right- 
eousness, -^those  thai  remember  thee  in  thy  ways:  behold, 
thou  art  wroth ;  for  we  have  sinned :  "in  those  is  continu- 
ance, and  we  shall  be  saved. 

6  But  we  are  all  as  an  unclean  thing,  and  all  ''our  right- 
eousnesses are  as  filthy  rags;  and  we  all  do  'fade  as  a  leaf; 
and  our  iniquities,  like  the  wind,  have  taken  us  away. 

7  And  ''there  is  none  that  calleth  upon  thy  name,  that  stirreth 
up  himself  to  take  hold  of  thee :  for  thou  hast  hid  thy  face 
from  us,  and  hast  f consumed  us,  fbecause  of  our  iniquities. 

8  'But  now,  O  Lord,  thou  art  our  Father ;  we  are  the  clay, 
•"and  thou  our  potter;  and  we  all  are  "the  work  of  thy  hand. 

9  ^Be  not  "wroth  very  sore,  O  Lord,  neither  remember 
iniquity  for  ever:  behold,  see,  we  beseech  thee,  "we  are  all 
thy  people. 

10  Thy  holy  cities  are  a  wilderness,  Zi'on  is  a  wilderness, 
'Je-ru'sa-lem  a  desolation. 

11  ""Our  holy  and  our  beautiful  house,  where  our  fathers 
praised  thee,  is  burned  up  with  fire:  and  all  "our  pleasant 
things  are  laid  waste. 

12  'Wilt  thou  refrain  thyself  for  these  things,  O  Lord? 
"wilt  thou  hold  thy  peace,  and  afflict  us  very  sore  ? 

CHAPTER    LXV. 

The  catling  of  the  Gentites. 

I  "AM  sought  of  them  that  asked  not  for  me;  I  am  found  of 
them  that  sought  me  not :  I  said.  Behold  me,  behold   me, 
unto  a  nation  that  'was  not  called  by  my  name. 

2  "I  have  spread  out  my  hands  all  the  day  unto  a  rebel- 
lious people,  which  walketh  in  a  way  that  was  not  good, 
after  their  own  thoughts ; 

3  A  people  ''that  provoketh  me  to  anger  continually  to 
my  face ;  'that  sacrificeth  in  gardens,  and  burneth  incense 
fupon  altars  of  brick ; 

4  ^Which  remain  among  the  graves,  and  lodge  in  the 
monuments;  'which  eat  swine's  flesh,  and  ||broth  of  abom- 
inable things  is  in  their  vessels; 

5  'Which  say.  Stand  by  thyself,  come  not  near  to  me ;  for 

1  am  holier  than  thou.     These  are  a  smoke  in  my  [|  nose,  a 
fire  that  burneth  all  the  day. 

6  Behold,  Ht  is  written  before  me :  *I  will  not  keep  silence, 
'but  will  recompi^nse,  even  recompense  into  their  bosom, 

7  Your  iniquities,  and  ""the  iniquities  of  your  fathers  to- 
gether, saith  the  Lord,  "which  have  burned  incense  upon 
the  mountains,  "and  blasphemed  me  upon  the  hills :  there- 
fore will  I  measure  their  former  work  into  their  bosom. 

8  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord,  As  the  new  wine  is  found  in 
the  cluster,  and  one  saith,  Destroy  it  not ;  for  "a  blessing  is 
in  it:  so  will  I  do  for  my  servants'  sake,  that  I  may  not 
destroy  them  all. 

9  And  I  will  bring  forth  a  seed  out  of  Ja'cob,  and  out  of 
Ju'dah  an  inheritor  of  my  mountains  :  and  mine  'elect  shall 
inherit  it,  and  my  servants  shall  dwell  there. 

10  And  ''Shar'on  shall  be  a  fold  of  flocks,  and  the  valley 
of  A'chor  a  place  for  the  herds  to  lie  down  in,  for  my  peo- 
ple that  have  sought  me. 

11  ^But  ye  are  they  that  forsake  the  Lord,  that  forget  'my 
holy  mountain,  that  prepare  "a  table  for  that  ||  troop,  and 
that  furnish  the  drink  offering  unto  that  ||  number. 

12  Therefore  will  I  number  you  to  the  sword,  and  ye 
shall  all  bow  down  to  the  slaughter :  "'because  when  I  called, 
ye  did  not  answer;  when  I  spake,  ye  did  not  hear;  but  did 
evil  before  mine  eyes,  and  did  choose  that  wherein  I  de- 
lighted not. 


3  When  thou  didst  terrible  things  which  we  looked 
not    for,    thou  camest  down,  the  mountains  flowed 

4  down  at  thy  presence.  For  from  of  old  men  have 
not  heard,  nor  perceived  by  the  ear,  neither  hath 
the  eye  'seen  a  God  beside  thee,  which  worketh  for 

5  him  that  waiteth  for  him.  Thou  ^meetest  him  that 
rejoiceth  and  worketh  righteousness,  those  that 
remember  thee  in  thy  ways :  behold,  thou  wast  wroth, 
and  we  sinned :    'in  them  have  we  been  of  long  time, 

6  and  shall  we  be  saved  ?  For  we  are  all  become  as 
one  that  is  unclean,  and  all  our  righteousnesses  are 
as  a  polluted  garment:  and  we  all  do  fade  as  a  leaf; 
and    our   iniquities,    like   the  wind,    take  us  away. 

7  And  there  is  none  that  calleth  upon  thy  name,  that 
stirreth  up  himself  to  take  hold  of  thee :  for  thou 
hast  hid  thy  face  from  us,  and  ^hast  'consumed   us 

8  by  means  of  our  iniquities.  But  now,  O  Lord,  thou 
art  our  father ;  we  are  the  clay,  and  thou  our  potter ; 

9  and  we  all  are  the  work  of  thy  hand.  Be  not  wroth 
very  sore,  O  Lord,  neither  remember  iniquity  for 
ever :  behold,  look,  we  beseech  thee,  we  are  all  thy 

10  people.  Thy  holy  cities  are  become  a  wilderness, 
Zi'on  is  become  a  wilderness,  Je-ru'sa-lem  a  desolation. 

11  Our  holy  and  our  beautiful  house,  where  our  fathers 
praised  thee,  is  burned  with  fire ;  and  all  our  pleas- 

12  ant  things  are  laid  waste.  Wilt  thou  refrain  thyself 
for  these  things,  O  Lord?  wilt  thou  hold  thy  peace, 
and  afflict  us  very  sore  ? 

vO  I  ^am  inquired  of  by  them  that  asked  not  for  me; 
I  'am  found  of  them  that  sought  me  not:  I  said. 
Behold  me,  behold  me,  unto  a  nation  Hhat  was  not 

2  called  by  my  name.  I  have  spread  out  my  hands 
all  the  day  unto  a  rebellious  people,  which  walketh 
in  a  way  that  is  not  good,  after  their  own  thoughts ; 

3  a  people  that  provoketh  me  to  my  face  continually, 
sacrificing  in  gardens,  and    burning  incense    upon 

4 bricks;  which  'sit  among  the  graves,  and  lodge  in 
the  '"secret  places ;  which  eat  swine's  flesh,  and  broth 

5  of  abominable  things  is  in  their  vessels ;  which  say. 
Stand  by  thyself,  come  not  near  to  me,  for  I  am 
holier  than  thou :  these  are  a  smoke  in  my  nose,  a 

6  fire  that  burneth  all  the  day.  Behold,  it  is  written 
before  me :    I  will  not  keep  silence,  but  will  recom- 

7  pense,  yea,  I  will  recompense  into  their  bosom,  your 
own  iniquities,  and  the  iniquities  of  your  fathers 
together,  saith  the  Lord,  which  have  burned  incense 
upon  the  mountains,  and  "blasphemed  me  upon  the 
hills :  therefore  will  I  '^first  measure  their  work  into 
their  bosom. 

8  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  As  the  new  wine  is  found 
in  the  cluster,  and  one  saith.  Destroy  it  not,  for  a 
blessing  is  in  it :  so  will  I  do  for  my  servants'  sakes, 

9  that  I  may  not  destroy  them  all.  And  I  will  bring 
forth  a  seed  out  of  Ja'cob,  and  out  of  Ju'dah  an 
inheritor  of  my  mountains :    and  my  chosen  shall 

10  inherit  it,  and  my  servants  shall  dwell  there.  And 
Shar'on  shall  be  a  ''fold  of  flocks,  and  the  valley  of 
A'chor  a  place  for  herds  to  lie  down  in,  for  my  people 

11  that  have  sought  me.  But  ye  that  forsake  the  Lord, 
that  forget  my  holy  mountain,  that  prepare  a  table 
for  '■'Fortune,   and  that   fill   up  mingled  wine  unto 

12 '-'Destiny  ;  I  will  destine  you  to  the  sword,  and  ye 
shall  all  bow  down  to  the  slaughter:  because  when 
I  called,  ye  did  not  answer;  when  I  spake,  ye  did 
not  hear;  but  ye  did  that  which  was  evil  in  mine 
eyes,  and  chose  that  wherein  I  delighted  not.

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  BehoM,  my  serv- 
ants shall  eat,  but  ye  shall  be  hungry :  behold,  my  servants 
shall  drink,  but  ye  shall  be  thirsty:  behold,  my  servants 
shall  rejoice,  but  ye  shall  be  ashamed : 

14  Behold,  my  servants  shall  sing  for  joy  of  heart,  but 
ye  shall  cry  for  sorrow  of  heart,  and  "shall  howl  for  fvexa- 
tion  of  spirit. 

15  And  ye  shall  leave  your  name  "for  a  curse  unto  "my 
chosen:  for  the  Jjord  God  shall  slay  thee,  and  'call  his 
servants  by  another  name : 

16  ''That  he  who  blesseth  himself  in  the  earth,  shall  bless 
himself  in  the  God  of  truth;  and  ''he  that  sweareth  in  the 
earth  shall  swear  by  the  God  of  truth ;  because  the  former 
troubles  are  forgotten,  and  because  they  are  hid  from  mine 
eyes. 

17  ^For,  behold,  I  create  'new  heavens  and  a  new  earth: 
and  the  former  shall  not  be  remembered,  nor  fcome  into 
mind. 

18  But  be  ye  glad  and  rejoice  for  ever  in  that  which  I 
create :  for,  behold,  I  create  Je-ru'sa-lem  a  rejoicing,  and  her 
people  a  joy. 

19  And-^I  will  rejoice  in  Je-ru'sa-Iem,  and  joy  in  my  people : 
and  the  "voice  of  weeping  shall  be  no  more  heard  in  her, 
nor  the  voice  of  crying. 

20  There  shall  be  no  more  thence  an  infent  of  days,  nor 
an  old  man  that  hath  not  filled  his  days:  for  the  child 
shall  die  a  hundred  years  old:  *but  the  sinner  being  a 
hundred  years  old  shall  be  accursed. 

21  And  'they  shall  build  houses  and  inhabit  them;  and 
they  shall  plant  vineyards,  and  eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

22  They  shall  not  build,  and  another  inhabit;  they  shall 
not  plant,  and  another  eat:  for  ''as  the  days  of  a  tree  are 
the  days  of  my  people,  and  'mine  elect  fshall  long  enjoy  the 
work  of  their  hands. 

23  They  shall  not  labour  in  vain,  "nor  bring  forth  for 
trouble ;  for  "they  are  the  seed  of  the  blessed  of  the  Lord, 
and  their  offspring  with  them. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  "before  they  call,  I  will 
answer;  and  while  they  are  yet  speaking,  I  will  hear. 

25  The  "wolf  and  the  lamb  shall  feed  together,  and  the 
lion  shall  eat  straw  like  the  bullock :  "and  dust  shall  be  the 
serpent's  meat.  They  shall  not  hurt  nor  destroy  in  all  my 
holy  mountain,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAF>TER    LXVI. 

God  will  be  served  in  sincerity, 

THUS  saith  the  Lord,  "The  heaven  is  my  throne,  and 
the  earth  i%  my  footstool:  where  is  the  house  that  ye 
build  unto  me  ?  and  where  is  the  place  o\  my  rest  ? 

2  For  all  those  things  hath  mine  hand  made,  and  all  those 
things  have  been,  saith  the  Lord:  'but  to  this  man  will  I 
look,  'even  to  him  that  is  poor  and  of  a  contrite  spirit,  and 
''trembleth  at  my  word. 

3  "He  that  killeth  an  ox  is  cw  if  he  slew  a  man :  he  that 
sacrificeth  a  ||lamb,  asif\iQ  cut  off  a  dog's  neck;  he  that 
offereth  an  oblation,  as  if  he  offered  swine's  blood ;  he  that 
fburneth  incense,  as  if  he  blessed  an  idol.  Yea,  they  have 
chosen  their  own  ways,  and  their  soul  delighteth  in  their 
abominations. 

4  I  also  will  choose  their  ||  delusions,  and  will  bring  their 
fears  upon  them;  "because  when  I  called,  none  did  an- 
swer; when  I  spake,  they  did  not  hear:  but  they  did  evil 
before  mine  eyes,  and  chose  that  in  which  I  delighted  not. 

5  ^  Hear  the  word  of  the  L(jrd,  *ye  that  tremble  at  his 
word:  Your  brethren  that  hated  you,  that  cast  you  out  for 
my  name's  sake,  said,  'Let  the  Lord  be  glorified:  but  *he 
shall  appear  to  your  joy,  and  they  shall  be  ashamed. 

6  A  voice  of  noise  from  the  city,  a  voice  from  the  temple, 
a  voice  of  th»  Lord  that  rendereth  recompense  to  his 
enemies. 


13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Behrld, 
my  servants  shall  eat,  but  ye  shall  be  hungry : 
behold,  my  servants  shall  drink,  but  ye  shall 
be  thirsty :   behold   my  servants  shall   rejoice,   but 

14 ye  shall  be  ashamed:  behold,  my  servants  shall 
sing  for  joy  of  heart,  but  ye  shall  cry  for  sorrow  of 

15  heart,  and  shall  howl  for  'vexation  of  spirit.  And 
ye  shall  leave  your  name  for  ^a  curse  unto  my 
chosen,  and  the  Lord  God  shall  slay  thee ;  and  he 

16 shall  call  his  servants  by  another  name:  so  that  he 
who  blesseth  himself  in  the  earth  shall  bless  him- 
self in  the  God  of  'truth ;  and  he  that  sweareth  in 
the  earth  shall  swear  by  the  God  of  ^ruth ;  because 
the  former  troubles  are  forgotten,  and  because  they 

17  are  hid  from  mine  eyes.  For,  behold,  I  create  new 
heavens  and  a  new  earth:  and  the  former  things 
shall    not   be    remembered,    nor   come    into  mind. 

18  But  be  ye  glad  and  rejoice  for  ever  in  that  which  I 
create :  for,  behold,  I  create  Je-ru'sa-lem  a  rejoicing, 

19  and  her  people  a  joy.  And  I  will  rejoice  in  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  joy  in  my  people ;  and  the  voice  of  weep- 
ing shall  be  no  more  heard  in  her,  nor  the  voice  of 

20  crying.  There  shall  be  no  more  thence  an  infant  of 
days,  nor  an  old  man  that  hath  not  filled  his  days: 
for  the  child  shall  die  an  hundred  years  old,  and 
the   sinner  being  an   hundred   years   old   shall  be 

21  accursed.     And  they   shall   build   houses,   and    in 
habit  them;   and  they  shall   plant   vineyards,  and 

22  eat  the  fruit  of  them.  They  shall  not  build,  and 
another  inhabit;  they  shall  not  plant,  and  another 
eat:  for  as  the  days  of  a  tree  shall  be  the  days  of 
my  people,  and   my  chosen  shall  *long  enjoy  the 

23  work  of  their  hands.  They  shall  not  labour  in 
vain,  nor  bring  forth  for  'calamity;  for  they  are  the 

•  seed  of  the  blessed  of  the  Lord,  and  their  offspring 
24* with  them.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  that,  before 
they  call,  I  will  answer;  and  while  they  are  yet 
25  speaking,  I  will  hear.  The  wolf  and  the  Iamb  shall 
feed  together,  and  the  lion  shall  eat  straw  like  the 
ox:  and  dust  shall  be  the  serpent's  meat.  They 
shall  not  hurt  nor  destroy  in  all  my  holy  mountain, 
saith  the  Lord. 

vO  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  heaven  is  my  throne, 
and  the  earth  is  my  footstool:  what  manner  of 
house  will  ye  build  unto  me?  and  what  place  shall 

2 be  my  rest?  For  all  these  things  hath  mine  hand 
made,  and  so  all  these  things  came  to  be,  saith  the 
Lord  :  but  to  this  man  will  I  look,  even  to  him 
that    is   poor    and    of  a    contrite    spirit,    and   that 

3trembleth  at  my  word.  He  that  killeth  an  ox  is  as 
he  that  slayeth  a  man;  he  that  sacrificeth  a  lamb, 
as  he  that  breaketh  a  dog's  neck ;  he  that  offereth 
'an  oblation,  as  he  that  offereth  swine's  blood ;  he 
that  *burneth  frankincense,  as  he  that  blesseth  an 
idol :  yea,  they  have  chosen  their  own  ways,  and 

4 their  soul  delighteth  in  their  abominations;  I  also 
will  choose  their  "delusions,  and  will  bring  their 
fears  upon  them;  because  when  I  called,  none  did 
answer;  when  I  spake,  they  did  not  hear:  but  they 
did  that  which  was  evil  in  mine  eyes,  and  chose  that 
wherein  I  delighted  not. 

5  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  that  tremble 
at  his  word:  Your  brethren  that  hate  you,  that 
cast  you  out  for  my  name's  sake,  have  said.  Let 
the  Lord  be  glorified,  that  we  may  see  your  joy ; 

6  but  they  shall  be  ashamed.  A  voice  of  tumult  from 
the  city,  a  voice  from  the  temple,  a  voice  of  the 
Lord  that  rendereth   recompence  to   his   enemies.

7  Before  she  travailed,  she  brought  forth ;  before  her  pain 
came,  she  was  delivered  of  a  mau  child. 

8  Who  hath  heard  such  a  thing?  who  hath  seen  such 
things  ?  Shall  the  earth  be  made  to  bring  forth  in  one 
day  ?  or  shall  a  nation  be  born  at  once  ?  for  as  soon  as  Zi'on 
travailed,  she  brought  forth  her  children. 

9  Shall  I  bring  to  the  birth,  and  not  ||  cause  to  bring 
forth?  saith  the  Lord:  shall  I  cause  to  bring  forth,  and 
shut  the  womb?  saith  thy  God. 

10  Rejoice  ye  with  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  be  glad  with  her,  all 
ye  that  love  her :  rejoice  for  joy  with  her,  all  ye  that  mourn 
for  her : 

]  1  That  ye  may  suck,  and  be  satisfied  with  the  breasts  of 
her  consolations;  that  ye  may  milk  out,  and  be  delighted 
with  the  II  abundance  of  her  glory. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  'I  will  extend  peace 
to  her  like  a  river,  and  the  glory  of  the  Gentiles  like  a 
flowing  stream :  then  shall  ye  ""suck,  ye  shall  be  "borne  upon 
her  sides,  and  be  dandled  upon  her  knees. 

13  As  one  whom  his  mother  comforteth,  so  will  I  comfort 
you ;  and  ye  shall  be  comforted  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14  And  when  ye  see  this,  your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and 
"your  bones  shall  flourish  like  an  herb:  and  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  shall  be  known  toward  his  servants,  and  his  indig- 
nation toward  his  enemies. 

15  "For,  behold,  the  Lord  will  come  with  fire,  and  with 
his  chariots  like  a  whirlwind,  to  render  his  anger  with  fury, 
and  his  rebuke  with  flames  of  fire. 

16  For  by  fire  and  by  'his  sword  will  the  Lord  plead 
with  all  flesh :  and  the  slain  of  the  Lord  shall  be  many. 

17  "^They  that  sanctify  themselves,  and  purify  themselves 
in  the  gardens  jj  behind  one  tree  in  the  midst,  eating  swine's 
flesh,  and  the  abomination,  and  the  mouse,  shall  be  con- 
sumed together,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  For  I  know  their  works  and  their  thoughts:  it  shall 
come,  that  I  will  gather  all  nations  and  tongues;  and  they 
shall  come,  and  see  my  glory. 

19  'And  I  will  set  a  sign  among  them,  and  I  will  send 
those  that  escape  of  them  unto  the  nations  to  Tar'shish, 
Pul,  and  Lud,  that  draw  the  bow  to  Tu'bal  and  Ja'van,  to 
the  isles  afar  off,  that  have  not  heard  my  fame,  neither 
have  seen  my  glory;  'and  they  shall  declare  my  glory 
among  the  Gentiles. 

20  And  they  shall  bring  all  your  brethren  'for  an  offering 
unto  the  Lord  ont  of  all  nations  upon  horses,  and  in 
chariots,  and  in  ||  litters,  and  upon  mules,  and  upon  swift 
beasts,  to  my  holy  mountain  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saith  the  Lord, 
as  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  bring  an  offering  in  a  clean  vessel 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

21  And  I  will  also  take  of  them  for  "priests  and  for 
Le'vites,  saith  the  Lord. 

22  For  as  "the  new  heavens  and  the  new  earth,  which  I 
will  make,  shall  remain  before  me,  saith  the  Lord,  so  shall 
your  seed  and  your  name  remain. 

23  And  "it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  ffrom  one  new  moon  to 
another,  and  from  one  sabbath  to  another,  "shall  all  flesh 
come  to  worship  before  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

24  And  they  shall  go  forth,  and  look  upon  'the  carcasses 
of  the  men  that  have  transgressed  against  me:  for  their 
"worm  shall  not  die,  neither  shall  their  fire  be  quenched ; 
[and  they  shall  be  an  abhorring  unto  all  fleeh. 


7  Before  she  travailed,  she  brought  forth ;  before  her 

8  pain  came,  she  was  delivered  of  a  man  child.  Who 
hath  heard  such  a  thing?  who  hath  seen  such 
things?  Shall  a  land  be  'born  in  one  day?  shall  a 
nation  be  brought  forth  at  once?  for  as  soon  as  Zi'on 

9  travailed,  she  brought  forth  her  children.  Shall  1 
bring  to  the  birth,  and  not  cause  to  bring  forth? 
saith  the  Lord:  shall  I  that  cause  to  bring  forth 
shut  the  womb  f  saith  thy  God. 

10  Rejoice  ye  with  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  be  glad  for  her, 
all  ye  that  love  her:  rejoice  for  joy  with  her,  all  ye 

11  that  mourn  over  her:  that  ye  may  suck  and  be 
satisfied  with  the  breasts  of  her  consolations;  that 
ye  may  milk  out,  and  be  delighted  with  the  abun- 

12  dance  of  her  glory.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  extend  peace  to  her  like  a  river,  and 
the  glory  of  the  nations  like  an  overflowing  stream, 
^and  ye  shall  suck  thereof;  ye  shall  be  borne  upon 

13  the  side,  and  shall  be  dandled  upon  the  knees.  As 
one  whom  his  mother  comforteth,  so  will  I  comfort 

14  you ;  and  ye  shall  be  comforted  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
ye  shall  see  it,  and  your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and 
your  bones  shall  flourish  like  the  tender  grass:  and 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  shall  be  known  toward  his 
servants,  and  he   will  have  indignation  against  his 

15  enemies.  For,  behold,  the  Lord  will  come  'with 
fire,  and  his  chariots  shall  be  like  the  whirlwind ;  to 
render  his  anger  with  fury,  and  his  rebuke  with 

16  flames  of  fire.  For  by  fire  will  the  Lord  plead,  and 
by  his  sword,  with  all  flesh:  and  the  slain  of  the 

17  Lord  shall  be  many.  They  that  sanctify  them- 
selves and  purify  themselves  Ho  go  unto  the  gardens, 
^behind  'one  in  the  midst,  eating  swine's  flesh,  and 
the   abomination,  and  the  mouse;  they  shall   come 

18  to  an  end  together,  saith  the  Lord.  For  I  know 
their  works  and  their  thoughts:  Hhe  time  cometh, 
that  I  will  gather  all  nations  and  tongues ;  and  they 

19  shall  come,  and  shall  see  my  glory.  And  I  will  set 
a  sign  among  them,  and  I  will  send  such  as  escape 
of  them  unto  the  nations,  to  Tar'shish,  Pul  and  Lud, 
that  draw  the  bow,  to  Tu'bal  and  Ja'van,  to  the  isles 
afar  off,  that  have  not  heard  my  fame,  neither  have 

.  seen  my  glory;  and   they   shall   declare  my   glory 

20  among  the  nations.  And  they  shall  bring  all  your 
brethren  out  of  all  the  nations  for  an  offering  unto 
the  Lord,  upon  horses,  and  in  chariots,  and  in 
litters,  and  upon  mules,  and  upon  'swift  beasts,  to 
my  holy  mountain  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saith  the  Lord,  as  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  bring  their  offering  in  a  clean  vessel 

21  into  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  of  them  also  will 
I  take  for  priests  and  for  Le'vites,  saith  the  Lord. 

22  For  as  the  new  heavens  and  the  new  earth,  which  I 
will  make,  shall  remain  before  me,  saith  the  Lord,  so 

23  shall  your  seed  and  your  name  remain.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  from  one  new  moon  to  another, 
and  from  one  sabbath  to  another,  shall  all  flesh  come 

24  to  worship  before  me,  saith  the  Lord.  And  they 
shall  go  forth,  and  look  upon  the  carcases  of  the  men 
that  have  transgressed  against  me :  for  their  worm 
shall  not  die,  neither  shall  their  fire  be  quenched ; 
and  they  shall  be  an  abhorring  unto  all  flesh.

THE  BOOK  OF  THE  PROPHET 

JEREMIAH. 

CHAPTER    I. 

The  time  and  the  calling  of  Jeremiah, 

THE  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  of  the 
priests  that  were  "in  An'a-thoth  in  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min: 

2  To  whom  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  in  the  days  of 
Jo-si'ah  the  son  of  A'mon  king  of  Ju'dah,  ''in  the  thirteenth 
year  of  his  reign. 

3  It  came  also  in  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah,  "unto  the  end  of  the  eleventh  year  of  Zed-e- 
ki'ah  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  ''unto  the  carrying 
away  of  Je-ra'sa-lem  captive  *in  the  fifth  month. 

4  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

5  Before  I  -^formed  thee  in  the  belly,  "I  knew  thee;  and 
before  thou  camest  forth  out  of  the  womb  I  ''sanctified  thee, 
and  I  fordained  thee  a  prophet  unto  the  nations. 

6  Then  said  I,  'Ah,  Lord  God  !  behold,  I  cannot  speak : 
for  I  am  a  child. 

7  %  But  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Say  not,  I  am  a  child : 
for  thou  shalt  go  to  all  that  I  shall  send  thee,  and  *whatso- 
ever  I  command  thee  thou  shalt  speak. 

8  'Be  not  afraid  of  their  faces :  for  ""I  am  with  thee  to  de- 
liver thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

9  Then  the  Lord  put  forth  his  hand,  and  "touched  my 
mouth.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Behold,  I  have  "put 
my  words  in  thy  mouth. 

10  "See,  I  have  this  day  set  thee  over  the  nations  and  over 
the  kingdoms,  to  'root  out,  and  to  pull  down,  and  to  de- 
stroy, and  to  throw  down,  to  build,  and  to  plant. 

11  lyMoreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 
ing, Jer-e-mi'ah,  what  seest  thou  ?  And  I  said,  I  see  a  rod 
of  an  almond  tree. 

12  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me,  Thou  hast  well  seen: 
for  I  will  hasten  my  word  to  perform  it. 

13  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me  the  second 
time,  saying.  What  seest  thou  ?  And  I  said,  I  see  'a  seeth- 
ing pot;  and  the  face  thereof  i«  ftoward  the  north. 

14  Then  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Out  of  the  "north  an  evil 
fshall  break  forth  upon  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land. 

15  For,  lo,  I  will  'call  all  the  families  of  the  kingdoms  of 
the  north,  saith  the  Lord  ;  and  they  shall  come,  and  they 
shall  "set  every  one  his  throne  at  the  entering  of  the  gates 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  against  all  the  walls  thereof  round  about, 
and  against  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

16  And  I  will  utter  my  judgments  against  them  touching 
all  their  wickedness,  ''who  have  forsaken  me,  and  have 
burned  incense  unto  other  gods,  and  worshipped  the  works 
of  their  own  hands. 

17  ^Thou  therefore  "gird  up  thy  loins,  and  arise,  and 
speak  unto  them  all  that  I  command  thee :  ''be  not  dismayed 
at  their  faces,  lest  I  ||  confound  thee  before  them. 

18  For,  behold,  I  have  made  thee  this  day  "a  defenced 
city,  and  an  iron  pillar,  and  brazen  walls  against  the  whole 
land,  against  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  against  the  princes  thereof, 
against  the  priests  thereof,  and  against  the  people  of  the  land. 

19  And  they  shall  fight  against  thee;  but  they  shall  not 
prevail  against  thee ;  'for  I  am  with  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  to 
deliver  thee.

THE  BOOK  OF  THE  PROPHET 

JEREMIAH. 

J-  The  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  of 
the  priests  that  were  in  An'a-thoth  in  the  land  of  Ben'- 

2ja-min:  to  whom  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  in  the 
days  of  Jo-si'ah  the  son  of  A'mon,  king  of  Ju'dah,  in 

3  the  thirteenth  year  of  his  reign.  It  came  also  in  the 
daysof  Je-hoi'a-kimthe  son  of  Jo-si'ah,  kingof  Ju'dah, 
unto  the  end  of  the  eleventh  year  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  the 
son  of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah ;  unto  the  carrying 
away  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  captive  in  the  fifth  month. 

4  Now  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying 

5  Before  I  formed  thee  in  the  belly  I  knew  thee,  and 
before  thou  camest  forth  out  of  the  womb  I  sancti 
fied  thee ;  I  have  appointed  thee  a  prophet  unto  the 

6  nations.      Then  said  I,  Ah,  Lord  God  !  behold,  I 

7  cannot  speak :  for  I  am  a  child.  But  the  Lord  said 
unto  me,  Say  not,  I  am  a  child:  for  Ho  whomsoever 
I  shall  send  thee  thou  shalt  go,  and  whatsoever  I 

8  shall  command  thee  thou  shalt  speak.  Be  not  afraid 
because  of  them :  for  I  am  with  thee  to  deliver  thee, 

9  saith  the  Lord.  Then  the  Lord  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  touched  my  mouth ;  and  the  Lord  said  unto 
me.  Behold,  I  have  put  my  words  in  thy  mouth : 

10  see,  I  have  this  day  set  thee  over  the  nations  and 
over  the  kingdoms,  to  pluck  up  and  to  break  down, 
and  to  destroy  and  to  overthrow;  to  build  and 
to  plant. 

11  Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 
saying,  Jer-e-mi'ah,  what  seest  thou?     And  I  said,  I 

12  see  a  rod  of  ^an  almond  tree.  Then  said  the  Lord 
unto  me,  Thou  hast  well  seen :  for  I  'watch  over  my 

13  word  to  perform  it.  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me  the  second  time,  saying.  What  seest 
thou  ?     And  I  said,  I  see  a  seething  caldron  ;  and 

14  the  face  thereof  is  from  the  north.  Then  the  Lord 
said  unto  me,  Out  of  the  north  evil  ^shall  break 

15  forth  upon  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land.  For,  lo, 
I  will  call  all  the  families  of  the  kingdoms  of  the 
north,  saith  the  Lord;  and  they  shall  come,  and  they 
shall  set  every  one  his  throne  at  the  entering  of  the 
gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  against  all  the  walls  thereof 

1 6  round  about,  and  against  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah.  And 
I  will 'utter  my  judgements  against  them  touching  all 
their  wickedness;  in  that  they  have  forsaken  me, 
and  have  burned  incense  unto  other  gods,  and  wor- 

17  shipped  the  works  of  their  own  hands.  Thou  there- 
fore gird  up  thy  loins,  and  arise,  and  speak  unto 
them  all  that  I  command  thee :   be  not  dismayed  at 

18  them,  lest  I  dismay  thee  before  them.  For,  behold, 
I  have  made  thee  this  day  a  defenced  city,  and  an 
iron  pillar,  and  brasen  walls,  against  the  whole  land, 
against  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  against  the  princes 
thereof,  against  the  priests  thereof,  and  against  the 

19  people  of  the  land.  And  they  shall  fight  against 
thee ;  but  they  shall  not  prevail  against  thee :  for  I 
am  with  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  to  deliver  thee. 

^      And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  me  saying.  Go,

"youth,  the  love  of  thine  espousals,  'when  thou  wentest  after 
me  in  the  wilderness,  in  a  land  that  was  not  sown.- 

3  "Is'ra-el  was  holiness  unto  the  Lord,  and  Hhe  firstfruits 
of  his  increase :  'all  that  devour  him  shall  offend ;  evil 
shall  come  upon  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  and 
all  the  families  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el : 

5  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord, ■'What  iniquity  have  your  fathers 
found  in  me,  that  they  are  gone  far  from  me,  "and  have 
walked  after  vanity,  and  are  become  vain? 

6  Neither  said  they,  Where  is  the  Lord  that  ''brought  us 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  that  led  us  through  'the  wil- 
derness, through  a  land  of  deserts  and  of  pits,  through  a 
land  of  drought,  and  of  the  shadow  of  death,  through  a 
land  that  no  man  passed  through,  and  where  no  man  dwelt? 

7  And  I  brought  you  into  ||'a  plentiful  country,  to  eat  the 
fruit  thereof  and  the  goodness  thereof;  but  when  ye  entered, 
ye 'defiled  my  land,  and  made  mine  heritage  an  abomination. 

8  The  priests  said  not.  Where  is  the  Lord  ?  and  they  that 
handle  the  "law  knew  me  not :  the  pastors  also  transgressed 
against  me,  "and  the  prophets  prophesied  by  Ba'al,  and 
walked  after  things  that  "do  not  profit. 

9  lyWherefore  "I  will  yet  plead  with  you,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  'with  your  children's  children  will  I  plead. 

10  For  pass  ||over  the  isles  of  Chit'tim,  and  see;  and  send 
unto  Ke'dar,  and  consider  diligently,  and  see  if  there  be  such 
a  thing. 

11  'Hath  a  nation  changed  their  gods,  which  are  'yet  no 
gods?  'but  my  people  have  changed  their  glory  for  "that 
which  doth  not  profit. 

12  "'Be  astonished,  O  ye  heavens,  at  this,  and  be  horribly 
afraid,  be  ye  very  desolate,  saith  the  Lord. 

13  For  my  people  have  committed  two  evils;  they  have 
forsaken  me  the  "Fountain  of  living  waters,  and  hewed  them 
out  cisterns,  broken  cisterns,  that  can  hold  no  water. 

14  *^Is  Is'ra-el  'a  servant?  is  he  a  homeborn  slave?  why 
is  he  fspoiled? 

15  "The  young  lions  roared  upon  him,  and  tyened,'and  they 
made  his  land  waste;  his  cities  are  burned  without  inhabitant. 

16  Also  the  children  of  Noph  and  'Ta-hap'a-nes  ||have 
broken  the  crown  of  thy  head. 

1 7  "Hast  thou  not  procured  this  unto  thyself,  in  that  thou  hast 
forsaken  the  Lord  thy  God,  when  ''he  led  thee  by  the  way  ? 

18  And  now  what  hast  thou  to  do  'in  the  way  of  E'gypt, 
to  drink  the  waters  of  •''Si'hor?  or  what  hast  thou  to  do  in 
the  way  of  As-syr'i-a,  to  drink  the  waters  of  the  river  ? 

19  Thine  own  "wickedness  shall  correct  thee,  and  thy 
backslidings  shall  reprove  thee :  know  therefore  and  see 
that  it  is  an  evil  thing  and  bitter,  that  thou  hast  forsaken 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  that  my  fear  is  not  in  thee,  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  hosts. 

20  ^For  of  old  time  I  have  broken  thy  yoke,  and  burst 
thy  bands;  and  ''thou  saidst,  I  will  not  1 1 transgress  ;  when 
'upon  every  high  hill  and  under  every  green  tree  thou 
wanderest,  *playing  the  harlot. 

21  Yet  I  had  'planted  thee  a  noble  vine,  wholly  a  right 
seed:  how  then  art  thou  turned  into  "the  degenerate  plant 
oi'  a  strange  vine  unto  me  ? 

22  For  though  thou  "wash  thee  with  nitre,  and  take  thee 
much  soap,  yet  "thine  iniquity  is  marked  before  me,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

23  ""How  can.st  thou  say,  I  am  not  polluted,  I  have  not  gone 
after  Ba'al-im  ?  See  thy  way  "in  the  valley,  know  what  thou 
hast  done  :  \\thou  art  a  swift  dromedary  traversing  her  ways  ; 

24  ''11 A  wild  ass  fused  to  the  wilderness,  that  snuffeth  up 
the  wind  at  fher  pleasure;  in  her  occasion  who  can  ||turn 
her  away?  all  they  that  seek  her  will  not  weary  themselves  ; 
in  her  month  they  shall  find  her. 

25  Withhold  thy  foot  from  being  unshod,  and  thy  throat 


youth,  the  love  of  thine  espousals ;  how  thou  went- 
est after  me  in  the  wilderness,  in  a  land  that  was  not 

3  sown.  Is'ra-el  was  holiness  unto  the  Lord,  the  first- 
fruits  of  his  increase :  all  that  devour  him  shall  be  held 
guilty;  evil  shall  come  upon  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  Hear  ye  the  Avord  of  the  Lord,  O  house  of  Ja'cob, 

5  and  all  the  families  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el :  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  What  unrighteousness  have  your  fathers 
found  in  me,  that  they  are  gone  far  from  me,  and 
have    walked    after  vanity,  and  are  become  vain  ? 

6  Neither  said  they.  Where  is  the  Lord  that  brought 
us  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  that  led  us  through 
the  wilderness,  through  a  land  of  deserts  and  of  pits, 
through  a  land  of  drought  and  of  'the  shadow  of 
death,  through  a  land  that  none  passed  through,  and 

7 where  no  man  dwelt?  And  I  brought  you  into  a 
plentiful  land,  to  eat  the  fruit  thereof  and  the  good- 
ness thereof;  but  when  ye   entered,  ye  defiled   my

gressed against  me,  and  the  prophets  prophesied  by 
Ba'al,  and  walked  after  things  that  do  not  profit. 

9  Wherefore  I  will  yet  plead  with  you,  saith  the  Lord, 

10  and  with  your  children's  children  will  I  plead.  For 
pass  over  to  the  isles  of  Kit'tim,  and  see ;  and  send 
unto   Ke'dar,  and  consider  diligently;  and  see  if 

11  there  hath  been  such  a  thing.  Hath  a  nation 
changed  their  gods,  which  yet  are  no  gods?  but 
my  people  have  changed  their  glory  for  that  which 

12  doth  not  profit.  Be  astonished,  O  ye  heavens,  at 
this,  and  be  horribly  afraid,  be   ye  very   desolate, 

13  saith  the  Lord.  For  my  people  have  committed 
two  evils;  they  have  forsaken  me  the  fountain  of

14  cisterns,  that  can  hold  no  water.  Is  Is'ra-el  a  servant  ?

16 The  young  lions  have  roared  upon  him, and  ^yelled: 
and  they  have  made  his  land  waste ;  his  cities  are 

16  burned  up,  without  inhabitant.  The  children  also 
of  Noph  and  Tah'pan-hes  have  ^broken  the  crown  of 

17  thy  head.  Hast  thou  not  procured  this  unto  thy- 
self, in  that  thou  hast  forsaken  the  Lord  thy  God, 

18 when  he  led  thee  by  the  way?  And  now  what  hast 
thou  to  do  in  the  way  to  E'gypt,  to  drink  the  waters 
of  'Shi'hor  ?  or  what  hast  thou  to  do  in  the  way  to 

19  As-syr'i-a,  to  drink  the  waters  of  *the  River  ?  Thine 
own  wickedness  shall  correct  thee,  and  thy  back- 
slidings shall  reprove  thee  :  know  therefore  and  see 
that  it  is  an  evil  thing  and  a  bitter,  that  thou  hast 
forsaken  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  that  my  fear  is  not 

20  in  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts.  For  of 
old  time  ^I  have  broken  thy  yoke,  and  burst  thy 
bands ;  and  thou  saidst,  I  will  not  *serve ;  for  upon 
every  high   hill   and   under   every  green   tree  thou 

21  didst  bow  thyself,  playing  the  harlot.  Yet  I  had 
planted  thee  a  noble  vine,  wholly  a  right  seed :  how 
then  art  thou  turned  into  the  degenerate  plant  of  a 

22  strange  vine  unto  me  ?  For  though  thou  wash  thee 
with  lye,  and  take  thee  much  soap,  yet  thine  iniquity 

23  is  marked  before  me,  saith  the  Lord  God.  How 
canst  thou  say,  I  am  not  defiled,  I  have  not  gone 
after  the  Ba'al-im  ?  see  thy  way  in  the  valley,  and  know 
what  thou  hast  done :  thou  art  a  swift  "dromedary 

24  traversing  her  ways ;  a  wild  ass  used  to  the  wilderness, 
that  snuffeth  up  the  wind  in  her  desire ;  in  her  occasion 
who  can  turn  her  away  ?  all  they  that  seek  her  will  not

from  thirst:  but  'thou  saidst,  || There  is  no  hope:  no;  for  I 
have  loved  'strangers,  and  after  them  will  I  go. 

26  As  the  thief  is  ashamed  when  he  is  found,  so  is  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el  ashamed ;  they,  their  kings,  their  princes, 
and  their  priests,  and  their  prophets, 

27  Saying  to  a  stock.  Thou  art  my  father;  and  to  a  stone. 
Thou  hast  || brought  me  forth:  for  they  have  turned  ■f their 
back  unto  me,  and  not  their  face :  but  in  the  time  of  their 
"trouble  they  will  say,  Arise,  and  save  us. 

28  But  ''where  are  thy  gods  that  thou  hast  made  thee? 
let  them  arise,  if  they  "can  save  thee  in  the  time  of  thy 
ftrouble :  for  'according  to  the  number  of  thy  cities  are 
thy  gods,  O  Ju'dah. 

29  "Wherefore  will  ye  plead  with  me?  ye  all  have  trans- 
gressed against  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

30  In  vain  have  I  'smitten  your  children ;  they  received 
no  correction :  your  own  sword  hath  "devoured  your  proph- 
ets, like  a  destroying  lion. 

31  ^O  generation,  see  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord.  ''Have 
I  been  a  wilderness  unto  Is'ra-el?  a  land  of  darkness? 
wherefore  say  my  people,  f^We  are  lords;  •''we  will  come 
no  more  unto  thee? 

32  Can  a  maid  forget  her  ornaments,  or  a  bride  her  attire  ? 
yet  my  people  "have  forgotten  me  days  without  number. 

33  Why  trimmest  thou  thy  way  to  seek  love  ?  therefore 
hast  thou  also  taught  the  wicked  ones  thy  ways. 

34  Also  in  thy  skirts  is  found  Hhe  blood  of  the  souls  of 
the  poor  innocents :  I  have  not  found  it  by  f secret  search, 
but  upon  all  these. 

35  *"Yet  thou  sayest,  Because  I  am  innocent,  surely  his 
anger  shall  turn  from  me.     Behold,  *I  will  plead  with  thee, 

because  thou  sayest,  I  have  not  sinned. 

36  "•"VVhy  gaddest  thou  about  so  much  to  change  thy 
way?  "thou  also  shalt  be  ashamed  of  E'gypt,  "as  thou  wast 
ashamed  of  As-syi^i-a. 

37  Yea,  thou  shalt  go  forth  from  him,  and  ''thine  hands 
upon  thine  head:  for  the  Lord  hath  rejected  thy  confi- 
dences, and  thou  shalt  not  prosper  in  them.' 

CHAPTER  III. 

God's  great  mercy  injudah's  whoredom^Promises  of  the  gospel  to  the  penitent. 

THEY  fsay,  If  a  man  put  away  his  wife,  and  she  go 
from  him,  and  become  another  man's,  "shall  he  return 
unto  her  again?  shall  not  that  ''land  be  greatly  polluted? 
but  thou  hast  "played  the  harlot  with  many  lovers;  ''yet 
return  again  to  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

2  Lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  'the  high  places,  and  see  where 
thou  hast  not  been  lain  with.  ■'^In  the  ways  hast  thou  sat  for 
them,  as  the  A-ra'bi-an  in  the  wilderness ;  "and  thou  hast  pol- 
luted the  land  with  thy  whoredoms,  and  with  thy  wickedness. 

3  Therefore  the  "showers  have  been  withholden,  and  there 
hath  been  no  latter  rain ;  and  thou  hadst  a  'whore's  fore- 
head, thou  refusedst  to  be  ashamed. 

4  Wilt  thou  not  from  this  time  cry  unto  me,  My  father, 
thou  art  *the  guide  of  "my  youth? 

5  ""Will  he  reserve  his  anger  for  ever?  will  he  keep  it  to 
the  end?  Behold,  thou  hast  spoken  and  done  evil  things 
as  thou  couldest. 

6  ^The  Lord  said  also  unto  me  in  the  days  of  Jo-si'ah 
the  king.  Hast  thou  seen  that  which  "backsliding  Is'ra-el 
hath  done?  she  is  "gone  up  upon  every  high  mountain,  and 
under  every  green  tree,  and  there  hath  played  the  harlot. 

7  "And  I  said  after  she  had  done  all  these  things,  Turn 
thou  unto  me.  But  she  returned  not.  And  her  treacher- 
ous 'sister  Ju'dah  saw  it. 

8  And  I  saw,  when  'for  all  the  causes  whereby  backslid- 
ing Is'ra-el  committed  adultery,  I  had  'put  her  away,  and 
given  her  a  bill  of  divorce;  Vet  her  treacherous  sister 
Ju'dah  feared  not,  but  went  and  played  the  harlot  also. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  through   the  ||  lightness  of  her 


from   thirst :    but   thou   saidst.    There   is    no   hope : 
no ;    for   I   have   loved    strangers   and   after    them 

26  will  I  go.  As  the  thief  is  ashamed  when  he  is 
found,  so  is  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  ashamed;  they, 
their  kings,  their  princes,  and  their  priests,  and  their 

27  prophets ;  which  say  to  a  stock,  Thou  art  my 
father;  and  to  a  stone,  Thou  hast  'brought  ^me  forth : 
for  they  have  turned  their  back  unto  me,  and  not 
their  face;    but  in   the  time  of  their  trcuble  they 

28  will  say.  Arise,  and  save  us.  But  -where  are  thy 
gods  that  thou  hast  made  thee  ?  let  them  arise,  if  they 
can  save  thee  in  the  time  of  thy  trouble  :  for  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  thy  cities  are  thy  gods,  O  Ju'dah. 

29  Wherefore  will  ye  plead  with  me?  ye  all  have 

30  transgressed  against  me,  saith  the  Lord.  In  vain 
have  I  smitten  your  children ;  they  received  no 
'correction :    your  own  sword  hath   devoured   your 

31  prophets,  like  a  destroying  lion.  O  generation,  see 
ye  the  word  of  the  Lord.  Have  I  been  a  wilder- 
ness unto  Is'ra-el?  or  a  land  of  ''thick  darkness? 
wherefore  say  my  people.  We  are  broken  loose ;    we 

32 will  come  no  more  unto  thee?  Can  a  maid  forget 
her  ornaments,  or  a  bride  her  attire  ?  yet  my  people 

33  have  forgotten  me  days  without  number.  How 
trimmest  thou  thy  way  to  seek  love !  therefore  even 
the   wicked  women    hast    thou    taught    thy    ways. 

34  Also  in  thy  skirts  is  found  the  blood  of  the  souls  of 
the    innocent   poor:    'I   have    not   found  it  at  Hhe 

35  place  of  breaking  in,  but  upon  ''all  these.  Yet  thou 
saidst,  I  am  innocent;  surely  his  anger  is  turned 
away  from  me.  Behold,  I  will  enter  into  judge- 
ment with  thee,  because  thou  sayest,  I   have  not 

36  sinned.  Why  gaddest  thou  about  so  much  to 
change  thy  M^ay?  thou  shalt  be  ashamed  of  E'gypt 

37  also,  as  thou  wast  ashamed  of  As-syr'i-a.  From  him 
also  shalt  thou  go  forth,  with  thine  hands  upon 
thine  head:  for  the  Lord  hath  rejected  thy  confi- 
dences, and  thou  shalt  not  prosper  in  them.

many   lovers ;    '"yet  return  again  to   me,   saith  the 

2  Lord.  Lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  the  bare  height.s, 
and  see ;  where  hast  thou  not  been  lien  with  ?  By 
the  ways  hast  thou  sat  for  them,  as  an  A-ra'bi-an  in  the 
wilderness ;  and  thou  hast  polluted  the  land  with  thy 

3  whoredoms  and  with  thy  wickedness.  Therefore

and  hast  done  evil  things,  and  hast  ''had  thy  way.

whoTcfiom,  that  she  "defiled  the  land,  and  committed  adul- 
tery with  ''stones  and  with  stocks. 

10  And  yet  for  all  this,  her  treacherous  sister  Ju'dah  hath 
not  turned  unto  me  "with  her  whole  heart,  but  ffeignedly, 
saith  the  Lord. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  'The  backsliding  Is'ra-el 
hath  justified  herself  more  than  treacherous  Ju'dah. 

12  i|Go  and  proclaim  these  words  toward  "the  north,  and 
say.  Return,  thou  backsliding  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord;  and 
I  will  not  cause  mine  anger  to  fall  upon  you:  for  I  am 
'merciful,  saith  the  Lord,  and  I  will  not  keep  anger  for  ever. 

13  "Only  acknowledge  thine  iniquity,  that  thou  hast 
transgressed  against  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  hast  ''scattered 
thy  ways  to  the  'strangers  ■'^under  every  green  tree,  and  ye 
have  not  obeyed  my  voice,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  Turn,  O  backsliding  children,  saith  the  Lord,  "for  I  am 
married  unto  you :  and  I  will  take  you  ''one  of  a  city,  and 
two  of  a  family,  and  I  will  bring  you  to  Zi'on : 

15  And  I  will  give  you  'pastors  according  to  mine  heart, 
which  shall  *feed  you  with  knowledge  and  understanding. 

16  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  ye  be  multiplied  and 
increased  in  the  land,  in  those  days,  saith  the  Lord,  they 
shall  say  no  more,  The  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  : 
'neither  shall  it  fcome  to  mind:  neither  shall  they  re- 
member it;  neither  shall  they  visit  it;  neither  shall  \\that 
be  done  any  more. 

17  At  that  time  they  shall  call  Je-ru'sa-lem  the  throne  of 
the  Lord;  and  all  the  nations  shall  be  gathered  unto  it, 
"'to  the  name  of  the  Lord,  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  :  neither  shall  they 
"walk  any  more  after  the  ||  imagination  of  their  evil  heart. 

18  In  those  days  "the  house  of  Ju'dah  shall  walk  ||  with  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  shall  come  together  out  of  the  land 
of  "the  north  to  "the  land  that  I  have  ||  given  for  an  inherit- 
ance unto  your  fathers. 

19  But  I  said.  How  shall  I  put  thee  among  the  children, 
and  give  thee  ""a  fpleasant  land,  fa  goodly  heritage  of  the 
hosts  of  nations?  and  I  said.  Thou  shalt  call  me,  "My 
father;  and  shalt  not  turn  away  ffrom  me. 

20  ^1  Surely  as  a  wife  treacherously  departeth  from  her 
fhusband,  so  'have  ye  dealt  treacherously  with  me,  O 
house  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  A  voice  was  heard  upon  "the  bigh  places,  weeping  and 
supplications  of  the  children  of  is'ra-el :  for  they  have  per- 
verted their  way,  and  they  have  forgotten  the  Lord  their  God. 

22  "'Return,  ye  backsliding  children,  and  "I  will  heal 
your  backslidings.  Behold,  we  come  unto  thee,  for  thou 
art  the  Lord  our  God. 

23  "Truly  in  vain  is  salvation  hoped  for  from  the  hills,  and 
from  the  multitude  of  mountains :  "truly  in  the  Lord  our 
God  is  the  salvation  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  'For  shame  hath  devoured  the  labour  of  our  fathers 
from  our  youth;  their  flocks  and  their  herds,  their  sons 
and  their  daughters. 

25  We  lie  down  in  our  shame,  and  our  confusion  covereth 
us:  "^for  we  have  sinned  against  the  Lord  our  God,  we  and 
our  fathers,  from  our  youth  even  unto  this  day,  and  ''have 
not  obeyed  th,e  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

CHAPTKR   IV. 

God  calleth  Israel  by  his  promise— He  exhorteth  Judah  to  repentance. 

IF  thou  wilt  return,  O  Is'ra-el,  saith  the   Lord,  "return 
unto  me :  and  if  thou  wilt  put  away  thine  abominations 
out  of  my  sight,  then  shalt  thou  not  remove. 

2  '■And  thou  shalt  swear.  The  Lord  liveth,  '^in  truth,  in 
judgment,  and  in  righteousness;  ''and  the  nations  shall  bless 
themselves  in  him,  and  in  him  shall  they  'glory. 

3  IfFor  thus  saith  the  Lord  to  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  -'Break  up  your  fiiUow  ground,  and  "sow  not 
among  thorns. 

4  'Circumcise  yourselves  to  the  Lord,  and  take  away  the 


whoredom,  that  the  land  was  polluted,  and  she  com- 

lOmitted    adultery  with  stones  and  with  stocks.     And 

yet  for  all  this  her  treacherous  sister  Ju'dah  hath  not 

returned  unto  me  with  her  whole  heart,  but  feignedly, 

11  saith  the  Lord.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Back 
sliding  Is'ra-el  hath  shewn  herself  more  righteous  than 

12  treacherous  Ju'dah.  Go,  and  proclaim  these  words 
toward  the  north,  and  say.  Return,  thou  backsliding 
Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  ;  I  will  not  'look  in  anger  upon 
you :  for  I  am  merciful,  saith  the  Lord,  I  will  not  keep 

13  anger  for  ever.  Only  ^acknowledge  thine  iniquity, 
that  thou  hast  transgressed  against  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  hast  scattered  thy  ways  to  the  strangers  under 
every  green  tree,  and  ye  have  not  obeyed  my  voice 

14  saith  the  Lord.  Return ,  O  backsliding  children,  saith 
the  Lord;  for  I  am  a  husband  unto  you :  and  I  will 
take  you  one  of  a  city,  and  two  of  a  family,  and  I  will 

15  bring  you  to  Zi'on :  and  I  will  give  you  shepherds 
according  to  mine  heart,  which  shall  feed  you  with 

16  knowledge  and  understanding.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  when  ye  be  multiplied  and  increased  in  the 
land,  in  those  days,  saith  the  Lord,  they  shall  say 
no  more.  The  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  ; 
neither  shall  it  come  to  mind:  neither  shall  they 
remember  it;    neither  shall  they    Visit  it;    neither 

IT^shall  (hat  be  done  any  more.  At  that  time  they 
shall  call  Je-ru'sa-lem  the  throne  of  the  Lord  ;  and 
all  the  nations  shall  be  gathered  unto  it,  to  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  neither  shall  they  walk 
any  more  after  the  stubbornness  of  their  evil  heart 

18  In  those  days  the  house  of  Ju'dah  shall  walk  'with 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  shall  come  together 
out  of  the  land  of  the  north  to  the  land  that  I  gave 

19  for  an  inheritance  unto  your  fathers.  But  I  said. 
How  *shall  I  put  thee  among  the  children,  and  give 
thee  a  pleasant  land,  'a  goodly  heritage  of  the  hosts 
of  the  nations  ?  and  I  said,  *Ye  shall  call  me  My 
father;  and  shall  not  turn  away  from  following  me. 

20  Surely  as  a  wife  treacherously  departeth  from  her 
husband,  so  have  ye  dealt  treacherously    with    me, 

21 0  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord.  A  voice  is 
heard  upon  the  bare  heights,  the  weeping  and  the 
supplications  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el;  for  that  they 
have  perverted  their  way,  they  have  forgotten  the 

22  Lord  their  God.     Return,  ye  backsliding  children, 
I    will    heal    your    backslidings.     Behold,    we 
come  unto  thee;    for  thou  art  the  Lord  our  God, 

23  Truly  in  vain  is  the  help  that  is  looked  for  from  the 
hills,  the  'tumult  on  the  mountains ;    truly  in    the 

24  Lord  our  God  is  the  salvation  of  Ls'ra-el.  But  the 
'"shameful  thing  hath  devoured  the  labour  of  our 
fathers  from  our  youfh ;  their  flocks  and  their  herds, 

26  their  sons  and  their  daughters.  Let  us  lie  down  in 
our  shame,  and  let  our  confusion  cover  us;  for  we 
have  sinned  against  the  Lord  our  God,  we  and  our 
fathers,  from  our  youth  even  unto  this  day :  and  we 
have  not  obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

■+•■  If  thou  wilt  return,  O  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Ix)RD,  unto 
me  shalt  thou  return :  and  "if  thou  wilt  put  away 
thine  abominations  out  of  my  sight,  then  shalt  thou 

2 not  be  removed;  and  thou  shalt  swear.  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  in  truth,  in  judgement,  and  in  right- 
eousness; and  the  nations  shall  bless  themselves  in 
him,  and  in  him  shall  they  glory. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  to  the  men  of 
Ju'dah  and  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Break  up  your  fallow 

4  ground,  and  sow  not  among  thorns.  Circum- 
cise yourselves  to  the  Lord,  and  take  away    the

foreskins  of  your  heart,  ye  men  of  Ju'dali,  and  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem ;  lest  my  fury  come  forth  like  fire,  and  burn  that 
none  can  quench  it,  because  of  the  evil  of  your  doings. 

5  Declare  ye  in  Ju'dah,  and  publish  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and 
say,  Blow  ye  the  trumpet  in  the  land :  cry,  gather  together, 
and  say,  'Assemble  yourselves,  and  let  us  go  into  the  de- 
fenced  cities. 

6  Set  up  the  standard  toward  Zi'on:  ||  retire,  stay  not:  for 
I  will  bring  evil  from  the  *north,  and  a  great  fdestruction. 

7  'The  lion  is  come  up  from  his  thicket,  and  ""the  destroyer 
of  the  Gentiles  is  on  his  way;  he  is  gone  forth  from  his 
place  "to  make  thy  laud  desolate ;  and  thy  cities  shall  be 
laid  waste,  without  an  inhabitant. 

8  For  this  "gird  you  with  sackcloth,  lament  and  howl :  for 
the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  is  not  turned  back  from  us. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at  that  day,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  the  heart  of  the  king  shall  perish,  and  the  heart  of  the 
princes;  and  the  priests  shall  be  astonished,  and  the 
propliets  shall  wonder. 

10  Then  said  I,  Ah,  Lord  God  !  "surely  thou  hast  greatly 
deceived  this  people  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  "saying.  Ye  shall  have 
peace ;  whereas  the  sword  reacheth  unto  the  soul. 

11  At  that  time  shall  it  be  said  to  this  people  and  to  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  'A  dry  wind  of  the  high  places  in  the  wilderness 
toward  the  daughter  of  my  people,  not  to  fan,  nor  to  cleanse, 

12  Even  ||a  full  wind  from  those  peaces  shall  come  unto 
me :  now  also  'will  I  tgive  sentence  against  them. 

13  Behold,  he  shall  come  up  as  clouds,  and  'his  chariots 
shall  be  as  a  whirlwind :  "his  horses  are  swifter  than  eagles. 
Woe  unto  us !  for  we  are  spoiled. 

14  O  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ""wash  thine  heart  from  wickedness,  that 
thou  mayest  be  saved.  How  long  shall  thy  vain  thoughts 
lodge  within  thee? 

15  For  a  voice  declareth  "from  Dan,  and  publisheth  afflic- 
tion from  mount  E'phra-im. 

16  Make  ye  mention  to  the  nations ;  behold,  publish 
against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  watchers  come  'from  a  far  country, 
and  give  out  their  voice  against  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

17  "As  keepers  of  a  field,  are  they  against  her  round  about ; 
because  she  hath  been  rebellious  against  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  'Thy  way  and  thy  doings  have  procured  these  things 
unto  thee;  this  is  thy  wickedness,  because  it  is  bitter,  be- 
cause it  reacheth  unto  thine  heart.

the  trumpet,  the  alarm  of  war. 

20  ''Destruction  upon  destruction  is  cried;  for  the  whole 
land  is  spoiled :  suddenly  are  'my  tents  spoiled,  and  my 
curtains  in  a  moment. 

21  How  long  shall  I  see  the  standard,  and  hear  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet?  • 

22  For  my  people  is  foolish,  they  have  not  known  me ;  they 
are  sottish  children,  and  they  have  none  understanding ;  •''they 
are  wise  to  do  evil,  but  to  do  good  they  have  no  knowledge. 

23  "I  beheld  the  earth,  and,  lo,  it  was  'without  form,  and 
void ;  and  the  heavens,  and  they  had  no  light. 

24  'I  beheld  the  mountains,  and,  lo,  they  trembled,  and  all 
the  hills  moved  lightly. 

25  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  there  was  no  man,  and  *all  the  birds 
of  the  heavens  were  fled. 

26  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  the  fruitful  place  was  a  wilderness, 
and  all  the  cities  thereof  were  broken  down  at  the  presence 
of  the  Lord,  and  by  his  fierce  anger. 

27  For  thus  hath  the  Lord  said,  The  whole  land  shall  be 
de.solate;  'yet  will  I  not  make  a  full  end. 

28  For  this  "shall  the  earth  mourn,  and  "the  heavens

28  desolation ;  yet  will  I  not  make  a  ful?  end.  For  this 
shall  the  earth  mourn,  and  the  heavens  above  be  black :

CHAPTER    V. 

The  judgments  of  God  upon  the  Jews  for  their  perverseness. 

RUN  ye  to  and  fro  through  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  see  now,  and  know,  and  seek  in  the  broad  places 
thereof,  °if  ye  can  find  a  man,  'if  there  be  any  that  exe- 
cuteth  judgment,  that  seeketh  the  truth ;  "and  I  will  pardon  it. 

2  And  ''though  they  say,  "The  Lord  liveth;  surely  they 
'swear  falsely. 

3  O  Lord,  are  not  'thine  eyes  upon  the  truth  ?  thou  hast 
''stricken  them,  but  they  have  not  grieved;  thou  hast  con- 
sumed them,  but  'they  have  refused  to  receive  correction : 
they  have  made  their  faces  harder  than  a  rock ;  they  have 
refused  to  return. 

4  Therefore  I  said.  Surely  these  are  poor ;  they  are 
foolish;  for  *they  know  not  the  way  of  the  Lord,  nor  the 
judgment  of  their  God. 

5  I  will  get  me  unto  the  great  men,  and  will  speak  unto 
them ;  for  'they  have  known  the  way  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
judgment  of  their  God:  but  these  have  altogether  "'broken 
the  yoke,  and  burst  the  bonds. 

6  Wherefore  "a  lion  out  of  the  forest  shall  slay  them, 
°and  a  wolf  of  the  || evenings  shall  spoil  them,  "a.  leopard 
shall  watch  over  their  cities:  every  one  that  goeth  out 
thence  shall  be  torn  in  pieces:  because  their  transgressions 
are  many,  and  their  backslidings  fare  increased. 

7  ^How  shall  I  pardon  thee  for  this?  thy  children  have 
forsaken  me,  and  "sworn  by  them  'that  are  no  gods :  'when 
I  had  fed  them  to  the  full,  they  then  committed  adultery, 
and  assembled  themselves  by  troops  in  the  harlots'  houses. 

8  'They  were  as  fed  horses  in  the  moBoing :  every  one 
"neighed  after  his  neighbour's  wife. 

9  ''Shall  I  not  visit  for  these  things  f  saith  the  Lord  :  "and 
shall  not  my  soul  be  avenged  on  such  a  nation  as  this  ? 

10  *\\'Go  ye  up  upon  her  walls,  and  destroy;  "but  make 
not  a  full  end:  take  away  her  battlements;  for  they  are 
not  the  Lord's. 

11  For  Hhe  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  house  of  Ju'dah  have 
dealt  very  treacherously  against  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  "They  have  belied  the  Lord,  and  said,  ■'/i!  is  nothe;  neither 
shall  evil  come  upon  us ;  'neither  shall  we  see  sword  nor  famine: 

13  And  the  prophets  shall  become  wind,  and  the  word  is 
not  in  them :  thus  shall  it  be  done  unto  them. 

14  AVherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts,  Because 
ye  speak  this  word,  •''behold,  I  will  make  my  words  in  thy 
mouth  fire,  and  this  people  wood,  and  it  shall  'devour  them. 

16  Lo,  I  will  bring  a  'nation  upon  you  *from  far,  O  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord:  it  is  a  mighty  nation,  it  is  an 
ancient  nation,  a  nation  whose  language  thou  knowest  not, 
neither  understandest  what  they  say. 

16  Their  quiver  is  as  an  open  sepulchre,  they  are  all 
mighty  men. 

17  And  they  shall  eat  up  thine  'harvest,  and  thy  bread, 
which  thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  should  eat:  they  shall 
eat  up  thy  flocks  and  thine  herds:  they  shall  eat  up  thy 
vines  and  thy  fig  trees:  they  shall  impoverish  thy  fenced 
cities,  wherein  thou  trustedst,  with  the  sword. 


29  The  whole  city  fleeth  for  the  noise  of  the  horsemen 
and  bowmen ;  they  go  into  the  thickets,  and  climb  up 
upon  the  rocks :  every  city  is  forsaken,  and  not  a  man 

30dwelleth  therein.  And  thou,  when  thou  art  spoiled, 
what  wilt  thou  do?  Though  thou  clothest  thyself 
with  scarlet,  though  thou  deckest  thee  with  orna- 
ments of  gold,  though  thou  'enlargest  thine  eyes 
with  paint,  in  vain  dost  thou  make  thyself  fair;  thy 

31  lovers  despise  thee,  they  seek  thy  life.  For  I  have 
heard  a  voice  as  of  a  woman  in  travail,  the  anguish 
as  of  her  that  bringeth  forth  her  first  child,  the  voice 
of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on,  that  gaspeth  for  breath, 
that  spreadeth  her  hands,  saying,  Woe  is  me  now ! 
for  my  soul  fainteth  before  the  murderers. 

O  Run  ye  to  and  fro  through  the  streets  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  see  now,  and  know,  and  seek  in  the 
broad  places  thereof,  if  ye  can  find  a  man,  if  there 
be  any  that  doeth  justly,  that  seeketh  Hruth ;  and  I 

2  will   pardon  her.      And  though   they  say,   As  the 

3 Lord  liveth;  surely  they  swear  falsely.  O  Lord, 
Mo  not  thine  eyes  look  upon  ^truth?  thou  hast 
stricken  them,  but  they  were  not  grieved ;  thou 
hast  consumed  them,  but  they  have  refused  to 
receive  ^correction :  they  have  made  their  faces 
harder  than  a  rock;    they  have    refused  to    return. 

4 Then  I  said.  Surely  these  are  poor:  they  are 
foolish ;  for  they  know  not  the  way   of  the  Lord, 

5  nor  the  judgement  of  their  God  :  I  will  get  me  unto 
the  great  men,  and  will  speak  unto  them ;  for  they 
know  the  way  of  the  Lord,  and  the  judgement  of 
their  God.     But  these  with  one  accord  have  broken 

6  the  yoke,  and  burst  the  bands.  Wherefore  a  lion 
out  of  the  forest  shall  slay  them,  a  wolf  of  the 
"evenings  shall  spoil  them,  a  leopard  shall  watch 
over  their  cities,  every  one  that  goeth  out  thence 
shall  be  torn  in  pieces :  because  their  transgressions 

7  are  many,  and  their  backslidings  are  increased.  How 
can  I  pardon  thee?  thy  children  have  forsaken  me, 
and  sworn  by  them  that  are  no  'gods :  when  I  had 
*fed  them  to  the  full,  they  committed  adultery,  aud 
assembled  themselves  in  troops  at  the  harlots'  houses. 

8  They  were  as  fed  horses  'in  the  morning :  every  one 

9  neighed  after  his  neighbour's  wife.  Shall  I  not  visit 
for  these  things?  saith  the  Lord:  and  shall  not  my 
soul  be  avenged  on  such  a  nation  as  this? 

10  Go  ye  up  upon  her  walls,  and  destroy:  but  make 
not  a  full  end:  take  away   her  branches:   for  they 

11  are  not  the  Lord's.  For  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and 
the  house  of  Ju'dah  have  dealt  very  treacherously 

12  against  me,  saith  the  Lord.  They  have  denied  the 
Lord,  and  said.  It  is  not  he;  neither  shall  evil 
come    upon    us;    neither    shall    we    see   sword    nor 

13 famine:  and  the  prophets  shall  become  wind,  and 
the  word  is  not  in  them :  thus  shall  it  be  done  unto 

14  them.  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
hosts,  because  ye  speak  this  word,  behold,  I  will 
make  my  words  in  thy  mouth  fire,  and  this  people 

15  wood,  aud  it  shall  devour  them.  Lo,  I  will  bring  a 
nation  upon  you  from  far,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saith 
theLoRD:  it  is  ^a  mighty  nation,  it  is  an  ancient 
nation,  a  nation  whose  language  thou  knowest  not, 

16  neither  understandest  what  they  say.     Their  quiver 

17  is  an  open  sepulchre,  they  are  all  mighty  men.  And 
they  shall  eat  up  thine  harvest,  and  thy  bread,  which 
thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  should  eat :  they  shall  eat 
up  thy  flocks  and  thine  herds:  they  shall  eat  up  thy 
vines  and  thy  fig  trees:  they  shall  'beat  down  thy 
fenced  cities,  wherein  thou  trustest,  with  the  sword.

18  Nevertheless,  in  those  days,  saith  the  Loed,  I  *will  not 
make  a  foil  end  with  you. 

19  *|yAnd  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when  ye  shall  say,  *Where- 
fore  doeth  the  Lord  our  God  all  these  things  unto  us? 
then  shalt  thou  answer  them.  Like  as  ye  have  "forsaken  me, 
and  served  strange  gods  in  your  land,  so  "shall  ye  serve 
strangers  in  a  land  that  is  not  yours. 

20  Declare  this  in  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  publish  it  in 
Ju'dah,  saying, 

21  Hear  now  this,  O  "foolish  people,  and  without  funder- 
standing;  which  have  eyes,  and  see  not;  which  have  ears, 
and  hear  not: 

22  "Fear  ye  not  me  ?  saith  the  Lokd  :  will  ye  not  tremble 
at  my  presence,  which  have  placed  the  sand  for  the  'bound 
of  the  sea  by  a  perpetual  decree,  that  it  cannot  pass  it :  and 
though  the  waves  thereof  toss  themselves,  yet  can  they  not 
prevail ;  though  they  roar,  yet  can  they  not  pass  over  it  ? 

23  But  this  people  hath  a  revolting  and  a  rebellious  heart  j 
they  are  revolted  and  gone. 

24  Neither  say  they  in  their  heart.  Let  us  now  fear  the 
Lord  our  God,  'that  giveth  rain,  both  the  'former  and  the 
latter,  in  his  season:  'he  reserveth  unto  us  the  appointed 
weeks  of  the  harvest. 

25  ^"Your  iniquities  have  turned  away  these  things,  ancj 
your  sins  have  withholden  good  things  from  you. 

26  For  among  my  people  are  found  wicked  men :  \\  they  ""lay 
wait,  as  he  that  setteth  snares ;  they  set  a  trap,  they  catch  men. 

27  As  a  II  cage  is  full  of  birds,  so  are  their  houses  full  of 
deceit :  therefore  they  are  become  great,  and  waxen  rich. 

28  They  are  waxen  "fat,  they  shine :  yea,  they  overpass 
the  deeds  of  the  wicked :  they  judge  not  ''the  cause,  the 
cause  of  the  fatherless,  °yet  they  prosper;  and  the  right  of 
the  needy  do  they  not  judge. 

29  ''Shall  I  not  visit  for  these  things?  saith  the  Lord: 
shall  not  my  soul  be  avenged  on  such  a  nation  as  this? 

30  ^11 A  wonderful  and  "horrible  thing  is  committed  in 
the  land; 

31  The  prophets  prophesy  ''falsely,  and  the  priests  ||bear 
rule  by  their  means ;  and  my  people  'love  to  have  it  so :  and 
what  will  ye  do  irf  the  end  thereof? 

CHAPTER    VI. 

The  enemies  sent  against  Judah  encourage  themselves. 

OYE  children  of  Ben'ja-min,  gather  yourselves  to  flee 
out  of  the  midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  blow  the  trumpet 
in  Te-ko'a,  and  set  up  a  sign  of  fire  in  "Beth-hac'ce-rera : 
•"for  evil  appeareth  out  of  the  north,  and  great  destruction. 

2  I  have  likened  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  to  a  ||  comely  and 
delicate  woman. 

3  The  shepherds  with  their  flocks  shall  come  unto  her; 
they  shall  pitch  their  tents  against  her  round  about;  they 
shall  feed  every  one  in  his  place. 

4  ''Prepare  ye  war  against  her;  arise,  and  let  us  go  up  'at 
noon.  Woe  unto  us !  for  the  day  goeth  away,  for  the 
shadows  of  the  evening  are  stretched  out. 

5  Arise,  and  let  us  go  by  night,  and  let  us  destroy  her 
palaces. 

6  ^For  thus  hath  the  Lord  of  hosts  said.  Hew  ye  down 
trees,  and  ||  cast  a  mount  against  Je-ru'sa-lem :  this  is  the  city 
to  be  visited;  she  is  wholly  oppression  in  the  midst  of  her. 

7  -^As  a  fountain  castcth  out  her  waters,  so  she  castetii  out 
her  wickedness:  '/iolence  and  spoil  is  heard  in  her;  before 
me  continually  is  grief  and  wounds. 

8  Be  thou  instructed,©  Je-ru'sa-lem,  lest ''my  soulfdcpart 
from  thee;  lest  I  make  thee  desolate,  a  land  not  inhabited. 

9  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  They  shall  thoroughly 
glean  the  remnant  of  I.s'ra-el  as  a  vine :  turn  back  thine  hand 
as  a  grapegatheror  into  the  baskets. 

10  To  whom  shall  I  speak,  and  give  warning,  that  they 
may  hear?     Behold,  their  'ear  is  uncircumcised,  and  they 


18  But   even   in   those  days,  saith  the   Lord,  I  will 

19  not  make  a  full  end  with  you.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  when  ye  shall  say.  Wherefore  hath  the 
Lord  our  God  done  all  these  things  unto  us?  then 
shalt  thou  say  unto  them,  Like  as  ye  have  forsaken 
me,  and  served  strange  gods  in  your  land,  so  shall 
ye  serve  strangers  in  a  land  that  is  not  yours. 

20  Declare  ye  this  in  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  pub- 

21  lish  it  in  Ju'dah,  saying.  Hear  now  this,  O  foolish 
people,  and  without  'understanding;  which  have 
eyes,  and  see  not;  which  have  ears,  and  hear  not: 

22  Fear  ye  not  me?  saith  the  Lord:  will  ye  not 
tremble  at  my  presence,  which  have  placed  the  sand 
for  the  bound  of  the  sea,  ^by  a  perpetual  decree,  that 
it  cannot  pass  it?  and  though  the  waves  thereof 
toss  themselves,  yet  can  they  not  prevail;  though 

23  they  roar,  yet  can  they  not  pass  over  it.  But  this 
people  hath  a  revolting  and  a  rebellious  heart;  they 

24  are  revolted  and  gone.  Neither  say  they  in  their 
heart,  Let  us  now  fear  the  Lord  our  God,  that 
giveth  rain,  both  the  former  and  the  latter,  in  its. 
season ;  that  reserveth  unto  us  the  appointed  weeks 

25  of  the  harvest.  Your  iniquities  have  turned  away 
these  things,  and  your  sins  have  withholden  good 

26  from  you.  For  among  my  people  are  found  wicked 
men :  they  watch,  as  fowlers  lie  in  wait ;  they  set  a 

27  trap,  they  catch  men.  As  a  cage  is  full  of  birds,  so 
are  their  houses  full  of  deceit:   therefore  they  are 

28  become  great,  and  waxen  rich.     They  are  waxen  fat, 
they  shine :  yea,  they  overpass  in  deeds  of  wicked 
ness :  they    plead    not  the  cause,   the   cause   of  the 
fatherless,  that  they  should  prosper;  and  the  right 

29  of  the  needy  do  they  not  j  udge.  Shall  I  not  visit  for 
these  things  ?  saith  the  Lord  :  shall  not  my  soul  be 
avenged  on  such  a  nation  as  this? 

30  ^A  wonderful  and  horrible  thing  is  come  to  pass 

31  in  the  land ;  the  prophets  prophesy  falsely,  and  the 
priests  bear  rule  ^by  their  means;  and  my  people 
love  to  have  it  so:  and  what  will  ye  do  in  the  end 
thereof? 

0  Flee  for  safety,  ye  children  of  Ben'ja-min,  out  of  the 
midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  blow  the  trumpet  in 
Te-ko'a,  and  raise  up  a  signal  on  Beth-hac'che-rem : 
for  evil  looketh  forth  from  the  north,  and  a  great 

2  destruction.      The    comely    and   delicate    one,    the 

3  daughter  of  Zi'on,  will  I  cut  ofi;  Shepherds  with 
their  flocks  shall  come  unto  ^.3r;  they  shall  pitch 
their  tents  against  her  round  about ;  they  shall  feed 

4 every  one  in  his  place.  '^Prepare  ye  war  against  her; 
arise,  and  let  us  go  up  at  noon.  Woe  unto  us !  for 
the  day  declineth,  for  the  shadows  of  the  evening  are 

5  stretched  out.     Arise,  and  let  us  go  up  by  night, 

6  and  let  us  destroy  her  palaces.  For  thus  hath  the 
Lord  of  hosts  said.  Hew  ye  down  Hrees,  and  cast  up 
a  mount  against  Je-ru'sa-lem  :  this  is  the  city  to  be 
visited ;  she  is  wholly  oppression  in  the  midst  of  her. 

7  As  a  well  'casteth  forth  her  waters,  so  she  'casteth 
forth  her  wickedness :  violence  and  spoil  is  heard  in 
her;  before  me  continually  is  sickne.ss  and  wounds. 

8  Be  thou  instructed,  O  Je-ru'sa-lem,  lest  my  soul  be 
alienated  from  thee;  lest  I  make  thee  a  desolation, 
a  land  not  inhabited. 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  They  shall  throughly 
glean  the  remnant  of  Is'ra-el  as  a  vine :  turn  again 
thine    hand   as  a  grapegatherer   *into    the    baskets. 

10  To  whom  shall  I  speak  and  testify,  that  they  may

cannot  hearken;  behold,  *the  word  of  the  Lord  is  unto 
them  a  reproach ;  they  have  no  delight  in  it. 

11  Therefore  I  am  full  of  the  fury  of  the  Lord;  'I  am 
weary  with  holding  in  :  I  will  pour  it  out  ""upon  the  chil- 
dren abroad,  and  upon  the  assembly  of  young  men  together : 
for  even  the  husband  with  the  wife  shall  be  taken,  the  aged 
with  him  that  is  full  of  days. 

12  And  "their  houses  shall  be  turned  unto  others^  with 
their  fields  and  wives  together :  for  I  will  stretch  out  my 
hand  upon  the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  saith  the  Lord. 

13  For  from  the  least  of  them  even  unto  the  greatest  of 
them  every  one  is  given  to  "covetousness ;  and  from  the 
prophet  even  unto  the  priest  every  one  dealeth  falsely. 

14  They  have  "healed  also  the  fhurt  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  slightly,  'saying,  Peace,  peace;  when  there  is  uo  peace. 

15  Were  they  ""ashamed  when  they  had  committed  abomi- 
nation? nay,  they  were  not  at  all  ashamed,  neither  could  they 
blush  ;  therefore  they  shall  fall  among  them  that  fall:  at  the 
time  thatl  visit  them  they  shall  be  cast  down,  saith  the  Lord. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Stand  ye  in  the  ways,  and  see,  and 
ask  for  the  'old  paths,  where  is  the  good  way,  and  walk 
therein,  and  ye  shall  find  'rest  for  your  souls.  But  they  said, 
We  will  not  walk  therein. 

17  Also  I  set  "watchmen  over  you,  saying,  Hearken  to  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet.     But  they  said,  We  will  not  hearken. 

18  *^Therefore  hear,  ye  nations,  and  know,  O  congregation, 
what  is  among  them. 

19  "Hear,  O  earth :  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon  this 
people,  even  "the  fruit  of  their  thoughts,  because  they  have 
not  hearkened  unto  my  words,  nor  to  my  law,  but  rejected  it. 

20  'To  what  purpose  cometh  there  to  me  incense  "from 
She'ba,  and  the  sweet  cane  from  a  far  country?  ''your  burnt 
offerings  are  not  acceptable,  nor  your  sacrifices  sweet  unto  me. 

21  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  lay 
stumblingblocks  before  this  people,  and  the  fathers  and  the 
sons  together  shall  fall  upon  them ;  the  neighbour  and  his 
friend  shall  perish. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  a  people  cometh  from 
the  "north  country,  and  a  great  nation  shall  be  raised  from 
the  sides  of  the  earth. 

23  They  shall  lay  hold  on  bow  and  spear ;  they  are  cruel, 
and  have  no  mercy;  their  voice  ''roareth  like  the  sea;  and 
they  ride  upon  horses,  set  in  array  as  men  for  war  against 
thee,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on. 

24  We  have  heard  the  fame  thereof:  our  hands  wax  feeble: 
'anguish  hath  taken  hold  of  us,  and  pain,  as  of  a  woman 
in  travail. 

25  Go  not  forth  into  the  field,  nor  walk  by  the  way;  for  the 
sword  of  the  enemy  and  fear  is  on  every  side. 

26  ^O  daughter  of  my  people,  -^gird  thee  with  sackcloth, 
"and  wallow  thyself  in  ashes :  ''make  thee  mourning,  as  for 
an  only  son,  most  bitter  lamentation :  for  the  spoiler  shall 
suddenly  come  upon  us. 

27  I  have  set  thee  for  a  tower  and  'a  fortress  among  my 
people,  that  thou  mayest  know  and  try  their  way. 

28  *They  are  all  grievous  revolters,  'walking  with  slanders: 
they  are  "'brass  and  iron  ;  they  are  all  corrupters. 

29  The  bellows  are  burned,  the  lead  is  consumed  of  the 
fire ;  the  founder  melteth  in  vain :  for  the  wicked  are  not 
plucked  away. 

30  "11  Reprobate  silver  shall  men  call  them,  because  the 
Lord  hath  rejected  them. 

CHAPTER    VII. 

Jeremiah  is  sent  to  call  for  true  repentance — God  rejecleth  their  vain  confidence. 

rPHE   word  that  came  to    Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the   Lord, 
i    saying,  _ 

2  "Stand  in  the  gate  of  the  Lord's  house,  and  proclaim 
there  this  word,  and  say.  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  all  ye 
o/"  Ju'dah,  that  enter  in  at  these  gates  to  worship  the  Lord. 


cannot  hearken :  behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord   is 
become  unto  them  a  reproach ;  they  have  no  delight 

11  in  it.  Therefore  I  am  full  of  the  fury  of  the  LoRD; 
I  am  weary  with  holding  in :  pour  it  out  upon  the 
children  in  the  street,  and  upon  the  assembly  of  young 
men  together :  for  even  the  husband  with  the  wife 
shall  be  taken,  the  aged  with  him  that  is  full  of  days. 

12  And  their  houses  shall  be  turned  unto  others,  their 
fields  and  their  wives  together :  for  I  will  stretch  out 
my  hand  upon  the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  saith  the 

13  Lord.  For  from  the  least  of  them  even  unto  the 
greatest  of  them  every  one  is  given  to  covetousness ; 
and  from  the  prophet  even  unto  the  priest  every  one 

14  dealeth  falsely.  They  have  healed  also  the  'hurt  of 
^my  people  lightly,  saying.  Peace,  peace ;  when  there 

15  is  no  peace.  'Were  they  ashamed  when  they  had 
committed  abomination?  nay,  they  were  not  at  all 
ashamed,  neither  could  they  blush:  therefore  they 
shall  fall  among  them  that  fall :  at  the  time  that  I 
visit  them  they  shall  *be  cast  down,  saith  the  Lord. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Stand  ye  in  the  ways  and 
see,  and  ask  for  the  old  paths,  where  is  the  good 
way,  and  walk  therein,  and  ye  shall  find  rest  for 
your  souls :  but  they  said.  We  will  not  walk  therein. 

17  And  I  set  watchmen  over  you,  saying,  Hearken  to 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet;  but  they  said.  We  will 

18  not  hearken.     Therefore  hear,  ye  nations,  and  know, 

19  O  congregation,  what  is  among  them.  Hear,  O 
earth:  behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon  this  people, 
even  the  fruit  of  their  thoughts,  because  they  have 
not  hearkened  unto  my  words;  and  as  for  my  law, 

20  they  have  rejected  it.  To  what  purpose  cometh 
there  to  me  frankincense  from  She'ba,  and  the  sweet 
'cane  from  a  far  country  ?  your  burnt  offerings  are 
not  acceptable,  nor    your    sacrifices   pleasing    unto 

21  me.  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will 
lay  stumblingblocks  before  this  people :  and  the 
fathers  and  the  sons  together  shall  stumble  against 
them ;  the  neighbour  and  his  friend  shall  perish. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  a  people  cometh 
from  the  north  country ;  and  a  great  nation  shall  be 

23  stirred  up  from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth.  They 
lay  hold  on  bow  and  spear ;  they  are  cruel  and  have 
no  mercy;  their  voice  roareth  like  the  sea,  and  they 
ride  upon  horses ;  every  one  set  in  array,  as  a  man  to 

24  the  battle,  against  thee,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on.  We 
have  heard  the  fame  thereof;  our  hands  wax  feeble  : 
anguish  hath  taken  hold  of  us,  and  pangs  as  of  a  woman 

25  in  travail.  Go  not  forth  into  the  field,  nor  walk  by 
the  way;  for  there  is  the  sword  of  the  enemy,  and 

26  terror  on  every  side.  O  daughter  of  my  people,  gird 
thee  with  sackcloth,  and  wallow  thyself  in  ashes: 
make  thee  mourning,  as  for  an  only  son,  most  bitter 
lamentation ;    for  the   spoiler  shall    suddenly  come 

27  upon  us.  I  have  made  thee  a  ^tower  and  a  fortress 
among  my  people ;  that  thou  mayest  know  and  try 

28  their  way.  They  are  all  grievous  revolters,  going 
about  with  slanders ;  they  are  brass  and  iron :    they 

29  all  of  them  deal  corruptly.  The  bellows  'blow 
fiercely ;  the  lead  is  consumed  of  the  fire :  in  vain  do 
they  go  on  refining;  for  the  wicked  are  not  plucked 

30 away.  Refuse  silver  shall  men  call  them,  because 
the  Lord  hath  rejected  them. 

/      The    word    that    came    to   Jer-e-mi'ah    froin    the 

2  Lord,   saying.   Stand   in  the  gate  of  the   Lord's 

house,    and    proclaim    there    this    word,    and    say, 

Hear   the    word   of  the  Lord,  all  ye   of  Ju'dah,

3  Thus  saith  the  Lobd  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,* Amend 
your  ways  and  your  doings,  and  I  will  cause  you  to  dwell 
in  this  place. 

4  ''Trust  ye  not  in  lying  words,  saying,  The  temple  of  the 
Lord,  The  temple  of  the  Lord,  The  temple  of  the  Lord, 
are  these. 

5  For  if  ye  thoroughly  amend  your  ways  and  your  do- 
ings ;  if  ye  thoroughly  ''execute  judgment  between  a  man 
and  his  neighbour; 

6  If  y&  oppress  not  the  stranger,  the  fatherless,  and  the 
widow,  and  shed  not  innocent  blood  in  this  place,  'neither 
walk  after  other  gods  to  your  hurt ; 

7  ■'Then  will  I  cause  you  to  dwell  in  this  place,  in  'the 
land  that  I  gave  to  your  fathers,  for  ever  and  ever. 

8  ^Behold,  *ye  trust  in  'lying  words,  that  can  not  profit. 

9  *Will  ye  steal,  murder,  and  commit  adultery,  and  swear 
falsely,  and  burn  incense  unto  Ba'al,  and  'walk  after  other 
gods  whom  ye  know  not; 

10  ™And  come  and  stand  before  me  in  this  house,  f"which 
is  called  by  my  name,  and  say.  We  are  delivered  to  do  all 
these  abominations? 

11  Is  "this  house,  which  is  called  by  my  name,  become  a 
"den  of  robbers  in  your  eyes?  Behold,  even  I  have  seen 
it,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  But  go  ye  now  unto  'my  place  which  was  in  Shi'loh, 
'where  I  set  my  name  at  the  first,  and  see  'what  I  did  to  it 
for  the  wickedness  of  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

13  And  now,  because  ye  have  done  all  these  works,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  I  spake  unto  you,  'rising  up  early  and  speaking, 
but  ye  heard  not;  and  I  "called  you,  but  ye  answered  not; 

14  Therefore  will  I  do  unto  this  house,  which  is  called  by 
my  name,  wherein  ye  trust,  and  unto  the  place  which  I 
gave  to  you  and  to  your  fathers,  as  I  have  done  to  ''Shi'loh. 

15  And  I  will  cast  you  out  of  my  sight,  ^'as  I  have  cast 
out  all  your  brethren,  'even  the  whole  seed  of  E'phra-im. 

16  Therefore  "pray  not  thou  for  this  people,  neither  lift  up 
cry  nor  prayer  for  them,  neither  make  intercession  to  me : 
""for  I  will  not  hear  thee. 

17  ^Seest  thou  not  what  they  do  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah 
and  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  ? 

18  "The  children  gather  wood,  and  the  fathers  kindle  the 
fire,  and  the  women  knead  their  dough,  to  make  cakes  to 
the  II  queen  of  heaven,  and  to  ''pour  out  drink  ofierings  unto 
other  gods,  that  they  may  provoke  me  to  anger. 

19  'Do  they  provoke  me  to  anger?  saith  the  Lord:  do  they 
not  provoke  themselves  to  the  confusion  of  their  own  faces? 

20  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  mine 
anger  and  my  fury  shall  be  poured  out  upon  this  place,  upon 
man,  and  upon  beast,  and  upon  the  trees  of  the  field,  and 
upon  the  fruit  of  the  ground ;  and  it  shall  burn,  and  shall 
not  be  quenched. 

21  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el; 
•'^Put  your  burnt  offerings  unto  your  sacrifices,  and  eat  flesh. 

22  "For  I  spake  not  unto  your  fathers,  nor  commanded 
them  in  the  day  that  I  brought  them  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  fconcerning  burnt  offerings  or  sacrifices : 

23  But  this  thing  commanded  I  them,  saying,  ''Obey  my 
voice,  and  'I  will  be  your  God,  and  ye  shall  be  my  people : 
and  walk  ye  in  all  the  ways  that  I  have  commanded  you, 
that  it  may  be  well  unto  you. 

24  *But  they  hearkened  not,  nor  inclined  their  ear,  but 
walked  in  the  counsels  and  in  the  ||  imagination  of  their 
evil  heart,  and  f^went  backward,  and  not  forward. 

25  Since  the  day  that  your  fathers  came  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt  unto  this  day,  I  have  even  "sent  unto  you 
all  my  servants  the  prophets,  "daily  rising  up  early  and 
sending  tliem: 

26  "Yet  they  hearkened  not  unto  me,  nor  inclined  their  ear, 
but  "hardened  their  neck ;  'they  did  worse  than  their  fathers. 


3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
Amend   your  ways  and    your  doings,  and    I  will 

4  cause  you  to  dwell  in  this  place.  Trust  ye  not 
in  lying  words,  saying.  The  temple  of  the  Lord,  the 
temple  of  the  Lord,  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  are 

5  these.  For  if  ye  throughly  amend  your  ways  and 
your  doings;    if  ye    throughly   execute  judgement 

6  between  a  man  and  his  neighbour;  if  ye  oppress  not 
the  stranger,  the  fatherless,  and  the  widow,  and  shed 
not  innocent  blood  in  this  place,  neither  walk  after 

7 other  gods  to  your  own  hurt:  then  will  I  cause 
you  to  dwell  in  this  place,  in  the  land  that  I  gave 
to   your   fathers,  from   of  old  even    for   evermore. 

8  Behold,  ye  trust  in  lying  words,  that  can  not  profit. 

9  Will  ye  steal,  murder,  and  commit  adultery,  and 
swear  falsely,  and  burn  incense  unto  Ba'al,  and  walk 

10  after  other  gods  whom  ye  have  not  known,  and 
come  and  stand  before  me  in  this  house,  'which  is 
called  by  my  name,  and  say.  We  are  delivered  ;  that 

11  ye  may  do  all  these  abominations?  Is  this  house, 
which  is  called  by  my  name,  become  a  den  of  rob- 
bers in  your  eyes?     Behold,  I,  even  I,  have  seen  it, 

12  saith  the  Lord.  But  go  ye  now  unto  my  place  which 
was  in  Shi'loh,  where  I  caused  my  name  to  dwell  at 
the  first,  and  see  what  I  did  to  it  for  the  wickedness 

13  of  my  people  Is'ra-el.  And  now,  because  ye  have  done 
all  these  works,  saith  the  Lord,  and  I  spake  unto  you, 
rising  up  early  and  speaking,  but  ye  heard  not ;  and 

141  called  you,  but  ye  answered  not :  therefore  will  I 
do  unto  the  house,  which  is  called  by  my  name, 
wherein  ye  trust,  and  unto  the  place  which  I  gave  to 
you  and  to  your  fathers,  as  I  have  done  to  Shi'loh. 

15  And  I  will  cast  you  out  of  my  sight,  as  I  have  cast  out 
all  your  brethren,  even  the  whole  seed  of  E'phra-im. 

16  Therefore  pray  not  thou  for  this  people,  neither 
lift  up  cry  nor  prayer  for  them,  neither  make  inter- 

17 cession  to  me:  for  I  will  not  hear  thee.  Seest  thou 
not  what  they  do  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  and  in  the 

18  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem?  The  children  gather  wood 
and  the  fathers  kindle  the  fire,  and  the  women  knead 
the  dough,  to  make  cakes  to  the  queen  of  heaven, 
and  to  pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  other  gods,  that 

19  they  may  provoke  me  to  anger.  Do  they  provoke 
me  to  anger  ?  saith  the  Lord  ;  do  they  not  provoke 
themselves,  to   the   confusion   of  their  own   faces? 

20  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  mine 
anger  and  my  fury  shall  be  poured  out  upon  this 
place,  upon  man,  and  upon  beast,  and  upon  the  trees 
of  the  field,  and  upon  the  fruit  of  the  ground  ;  and 
it  shall  burn,  and  shall  not  be  quenched. 

21  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  oi  xs'ra-el : 
Add  your  burnt  offerings  unto  your  sacrifices,  and 

22  eat  ye  flesh.  For  I  spake  not  unto  your  fathers, 
nor  commanded  them  in  the  day  that  I  brought 
them  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  concerning   burnt 

23  offerings  or  sacrifices :  but  this  thing  I  commanded 
them,  saying.  Hearken  unto  my  voice,  and  I  will 
be  your  God,  and  ye  shall  be  my  people :  and  walk 
ye  in  all  the  way  that  I  command  you,  that  it  may 

24  be  well  with  you.  But  they  hearkened  not,  nor 
inclined  their  ear,  but  walked  in  their  own  counsels 
and  in  the  stubbornness  of  their  evil  heart,  and  went 

25  backward  and  not  forward.  Since  the  day  that 
your  fathers  came  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt 
unto  this  day,  I  have  sent  unto  you  all  my  servants 
the    prophets,  daily    rising    up    early    and    sending 

26  them ;  yet  they  hearkened  not  unto  me,  nor  inclined 
their  ear,  but  made  their  neck  stiff:  they  did  worse 
than  their  fathers.

27  Therefore  thou  shalt  speak  all  these  words  unto  them ; 
but  they  will  not  hearken  to  thee ;  thou  shalt  also  call  unto 
them ;  but  they  will  not  answer  thee. 

28  But  thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  This  is  a  nation  that  obey- 
eth  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord  their  God,  'nor  receiveth  ||  cor- 
rection :  "truth  is  perished,  and  is  cut  off  from  their  mouth. 

29  ^^Cut  off  thine  hair,  0  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  cast  it  away, 
and  take  up  a  lamentation  on  high  places ;  for  the  Lord 
hath  rejected  and  forsaken  the  generation  of  his  wrath. 

30  For  the  children  of  Ju'dah  have  done  evil  in  my  sight, 
saith  the  Lord  :  "they  have  set  their  abominations  in  the 
house  which  is  called  by  my  name,  to  pollute  it. 

31  And  they  have  built  the  "high  places  of  To'phet,  which 
is  in  the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  to  "burn  their  sons 
and  their  daughters  in  the  fire;  'which  I  commanded  them 
not,  neither  fcame  it  into  my  heart. 

32  ^Therefore,  behold,  'the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  it  shall  no  more  be  called  To'phet,  nor  The  valley  of 
the  son  of  Hin'nom,  but  The  valley  of  slaughter :  ''for  they 
shall  bury  in  To'phet,  till  there  be  no  place. 

33  And  the  'carcasses  of  this  people  shall  be  meat  for  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of  the  earth ;  and 
none  shall  fray  them  away. 

34  Then  will  I  cause  to  ■'cease  from  the  cities  of  Ju'dah, 
and  from  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  voice  of  mirth,  and 
the  voice  of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the  bridegroom,  and  the 
voice  of  the  bride :  for  "the  land  shall  be  desolate. 

CHAFXER  VIII. 

The  calamity  of  the  Jews— Their  impeniiency  upbraided. 

AT  that  time,  saith  the  Lord,  they  shall  bring  out  the 
bones  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  bones  of  his  princes, 
and  the  bones  of  the  priests,  and  the  bones  of  the  prophets, 
and  the  bones  of  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  out  of  their 
graves : 

2  And  they  shall  spread  them  before  the  sun,  and  the 
moon,  and  all  the  host  of  heaven,  whom  they  have  loved, 
and  whom  they  have  served,  and  after  whom  they  have 
walked,  and  whom  they  have  sought,  and  "whom  they  have 
worshipped:  they  shall  not  be  gathered,  'nor  be  buried; 
they  shall  be  for  "dung  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

3  And  ''death  shall  be  chosen  rather  than  life  by  all  the 
residue  of  them  that  remain  of  this  evil  family,  which  re- 
main in  all  the  places  whither  I  have  driven  them,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

4  "^IMoreover  thou  shalt  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Shall  they  fall,  and  not  arise?  shall  he  turn  away, 
and  not  return? 

5  Why  then  is  this  people  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  'slidden  back  by 
a  perpetual  backsliding?  -they  hold  fast  deceit,  'they  refuse 
to  return. 

6  *I  hearkened  and  heard,  hut  they  spake  not  aright :  no  man 
repented  him  of  his  wickedness,  saying.  What  have  I  done? 
every  one  turned  to  his  course,  as  the  horse  rusheth  into 
the  battle. 

7  Yea,  'the  stork  in  the  heaven  knoweth  her  appointed 
times;  and  *the  turtle,  and  the  crane,  and  the  swallow, 
observe  the  time  of  their  coming;  but  'my  people  know  not 
the  judgment  of  the  Lord. 

8  How  do  ye  say.  We  are  wise,  "and  the  law  of  the  Lord 
is  with  us?  Lo,  certainly  ||in  vain  made  he  it;  the  pen  of 
the  scribes  is  in  vain. 

9  "II  The  wise  men  are  ashamed,  they  are  dismayed  and 
taken:  lo,  they  have  rejected  the  word  of  the  Lord;  and 
fwhat  wisdom  zs  in  them? 

10  Therefore  "will  I  give  their  wives  unto  others,  and  their 
fields  to  them  that  shall  inherit  them :  for  every  one  from  the 
least  even  unto  the  greatest  is  given  to  ^covetousness,  from 
the  prophet  even  unto  the  priest  every  one  dealeth  falsely. 

11  For  they  have  'healed  the  hurt  of  the    daughter    of 


27  And  thou  shalt  speak  all  these  words  unto  them ; 
but  they  will  not  hearken  to  thee :  thou  shalt  also 
call    unto   them;    but   they    will   not  answer  thee. 

28  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them.  This  is  the  nation 
that  hath  not  hearkened  to  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  nor  received  'instruction :  ^ruth  is  per- 
ished, and  is  cut  off  from  their  mouth. 

29  Cut  off  'thine  hair,  0  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  cast  it  away, 
and  take  up  a  lamentation  on  the  bare  heights ;  for 
the  Lord  hath  rejected  and  forsaken  the  generation 

30  of  his  wrath.  For  the  children  of  Ju'dah  have  done 
that  which  is  evil  in  my  sight,  saith  the  Lord  :  they 
have  set  their  abominations  in  the  house  which  is 

31  called  by  my  name,  to  defile  it.  And  they  have 
built  the  high  places  of  To'pheth,  which  is  in  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  to  burn  their  sons  and 
their  daughters  in    the    fire;    which    I  commanded 

32  not,  neither  came  it  into  my  *mind.  Therefore, 
behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  it  shall 
no  more  be  called  To'pheth,  nor  The  valley  of  the  son 
of  Hin'nom,  but  The  valley  of  Slaughter :  for  they 
shall  bury  in  To'pheth,  'till  there  be  no  place  to  bury. 

33  And  the  carcases  of  this  people  shall  be  meat  for  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of  the  earth ; 

34  and  none  shall  fray  them  away.  Then  will  I  cause  to 
cease  from  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  from  the  streets 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  voice  of  mirth  and  the  voice  of 
gladness,  the  voice  of  the  bridegroom  and  the  voice 
of  the  bride :  for  the  land  shall  become  a  waste. 

O  At  that  time,  saith  the  Lord,  they  shall  bring  out 
the  bones  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  bones  of 
his  princes,  and  the  bones  of  the  priests,  and  the 
bones  of  the  prophets,  and  the  bones  of  the  inhabit- 

2  ants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  out  of  their  graves :  and  they 
shall  spread  them  before  the  sun,  and  the  moon, 
and  all  the  host  of  heaven,  whom  +hey  have  loved, 
and  whom  they  have  served,  and  after  whom  they 
have  walked,  and  whom  they  have  sought,  and 
whom  they  have  worshipped:  they  shall  not  be 
gathered,  nor  be  buried ;    they   shall    be  for  dung 

3  upon  the  face  of  the  earth.  And  death  shall  be 
chosen  rather  than  life  by  all  the  residue  that  remain 
of  this  evil  family,  which  remain  in  all  the  places 
whither  I  have  driven  them,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

4  Moreover  thou  shalt  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  :  Shall  men  fall,  and  not  rise  up  again  ? 

5  shall  one  turn  away,  and  not  return  ?  Why  then  is 
this  people  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  slidden  back  by  a  perpetual 
backsliding?    they    hold    fast  deceit,  they  refuse  to 

6  return.  I  hearkened  and  heard,  but  they  spake  not 
aright:  no  man  repenteth  him  of  his  wickedness, 
saying,  What  have  I  done  ?  every  one  ^turneth  to  his 
course,    as  a  horse    that    rusheth    headlong   in    the 

7  battle.  Yea,  the  stork  in  the  heaven  knoweth  her 
appointed  times  ;  and  the  turtle  and  the  swallow  and 
the  crane  observe  the  time  of  their  coming ;  but  my 

8  people  know  not  the  ^ordinance  of  the  Lord.  How 
do  ye  say.  We  are  wise,  and  the  law  of  the  Lord  is 
with  us  ?     But,  behold,  the  false  pen  of  the  scribes 

9  hath  ^wrought  falsely.  The  wise  men  are  ashamed, 
they  are  dismayed  and  taken:  lo,  they  have  rejected 
the  word  of  the  Lord  ;  and  what  manner  of  wisdom 

10 is  in  them?  Therefore  will  I  give  their  wives  unto 
others,  and  their  fields  to  them  that  shall  possess 
them :  for  every  one  from  the  least  even  unto  the 
greatest  is  given  to  covetousness,  from  the  prophet 
even    unto    the    priest    every    one    dealeth    falsely.

my  people  slightly,  saying,  'Peace,  peace ;  when  there  is  no 
peace. 

12  Were  they  'ashamed  when  they  had  committed  abomina- 
tion ?  nay,  they  were  not  at  all  ashamed,  neither  could  they 
blush  ;  therefore  shall  they  fall  among  them  that  fall :  in  the 
time  of  their  visitation  they  shall  be  cast  down,  saith  the  LouD. 

13  ^  II I  will  surely  consume  them, saith  the  Lord:  there 
shall  be  no  grapes  'on  the  vine,  nor  figs  on  the  "fig  tree,  and 
the  leaf  shall  fade ;  and  the  things  that  I  have  given  them 
shall  pass  away  from  them. 

14  Why  do  we  sit  still?  ''assemble  yourselves,  and  let  us 
enter  into  the  defenccd  cities,  and  let  us  be  silent  there :  for 
the  Lord  our  God  hath  put  us  to  silence,  and  given  us  "water 
of  II  gall  to  drink,  because  we  have  sinned  against  the  Lord. 

15  We  'looked  for  peace,  but  no  good  came;  and  for  a 
time  of  health,  and  behold  trouble ! 

16  The  snorting  of  his  horses  was  heard  from  "Dan ;  the 
whole  land  trembled  at  the  sound  of  the  neighing  of  his 
"■strong  ones :  for  they  are  come,  and  have  devoured  the  land, 
and  fall  that  is  in  it;  the  city,  and  those  that  dwell  therein. 

17  For,  behold,  I  will  send  serpents,  cockatrices,  among 
you,  which  will  not  be  "charmed,  and  they  shall  bite  you, 
saith  the  Lord. 

18  ^When  I  would  comfort  myself  against  sorrow,  my 
heart  is  faint  fin  me. 

19  Behold  the  voice  of  the  cry  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  fbecause  of  them  that  dwell  in  ''afar  country:  Is  not 
the  Lord  in  Zi'on  ?  is  not  her  king  in  her  ?  Why  have 
they  'provoked  me  to  anger  with  their  graven  images,  and 
with  strange  vanities?

not  saved.

I  am  'black ;  astonishment  hath  taken  hold  on  me.

there?  why  then  is  not  the  health  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  frecovered  ? 

CHAPTER   IX. 

Jeremiah  lamentetk  the  Jews  for  their  manifold  sins, 

OH  fthat  my  head  were  waters,  and  mine  eyes  a  fountain 
of  tears,  that  I  might  weep  day  and  night  for  the  slain 
of  the  daughter  of  my  people ! 

2  Oh  that  I  had  in  the  wilderness  a  lodging  place  of  way- 
faring men  ;  that  I  might  leave  my  people,and  go  from  them ! 
for  Hhey  be  all  adulterers,  an  assembly  of  treacherous  men. 

3  And  "they  bend  their  tongues  like  their  bow  for  lies  :  but 
they  are  not  valiant  for  the  truth  upon  the  earth  ;  for  they  pro- 
ceed from  evil  to  evil,  and  they  ''know  not  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  "Take  ye  heed  every  one  of  his  ||  neighbour,  and  trust 
ye  not  in  any  brother :  for  every  brother  will  utterly  sup- 
plant, and  every  neighbour  will  Avalk  with  slanders. 

5  And  they  will  ||  deceive  every  one  his  neighbour,  and 
will  not  speak  the  truth :  they  have  taught  their  tongue  to 
speak  lies,  and  weary  themselves  to  commit  iniquity. 

6  Thine  habitation  is  in  the  midst  of  deceit ;  through  de- 
ceit they  refuse  to  know  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Behold,  "I  will 
melt  them,  and  try  them;  ''for  how  shall  I  do  for  the 
daughter  of  my  people? 

8  Their  tongue  is  as  an  arrow  shot  out ;  it  speaketh  'de- 
ceit :  one  speaketh  ^peaceably  to  his  neighbour  with  his 
mouth,  but  fin  heart  he  layeth  ||  his  wait. 

9  "ll'Shall  I  not  visit  them  {or  these  things?  saith  the  Lord: 
.shall  not  my  soul  be  avenged  on  such  a  nation  as  this  ? 

10  For  the  mountains  will  I  take  up  a  weeping  and  wailing, 
and  "for  the  ||  habitations  of  the  wilderness  a  lamentation, 
because  they  are  ||  burned  up,  so  that  none  can  pass  tiirough 
them;  neither  can  men  hear  the  voice  of  the  cattle  :  t''both  the 
fowl  of  the  heavens  and  the  beast  are  fled ;  they  are  gone. 


my  people  lightly,  saying.  Peace,  peace ;  when  there 

12  is  no  peace.  Were  they  ashamed  when  they  had 
committed  abomination?  nay,  they  were  not  at  all 
ashamed,  neither  could  they  blush :  therefore  shall 
they  fall  among  them  that  fall :  in  the  time  of  their 

13  visitation  they  shall  be  cast  down,  saith  the  Lord.  I 
will  utterly  consume  them,  saith  the  Lord:  there 
shall  be  no  grapes  on  the  vine,  nor  figs  on  the  fig 
tree,  and  the  leaf  shall  fade;  and  ^the  things  that  I 

14  have  given  them  shall  pass  away  from  them.  Why 
do  we  sit  still?  assemble  yourselves,  and  let  us  enter 
into  the  defenced  cities,  and  let  us  ^be  silent  there  :  for 
the  Lord  our  God  hath  ^put  us  to  silence,  and  given 
us  water  of  *gall  to  drink,  because  we  have  sinned 

15  against  the  Lord.  We  looked  for  peace,  but  no  good 
came ;  and  for  a  time  of  healing,  and  behold  dismay ! 

16  The  snorting  of  his  horses  is  heard  from  Dan :  at 
the  sound  of  the  neighing  of  his  strong  ones  the 
whole  land  trembleth ;  for  they  are  come,  and  have 
devoured  the  land  and  all  that  is  in  it ;  the  city  and 

17  those  that  dwell  therein.  For,  behold,  I  will  send 
serpents,  "basilisks,  among  you,  which  will  not  be 
charmed ;  and  they  shall  bite  you,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  Oh  that  I  could  comfort  myself  against  sorrow !  my 

19  heart  is  faint  within  me.  Behold,  the  voice  of  the 
cry  of  the  daughter  of  my  people  ^from  a  land  that 
is  very  far  off:  Is  not  the  Lord  in  Zi'on  ?  is  not  her 
King  in  her?  Why  have  they  provoked  me  to  anger 
with  their  graven  images,  and  with  strange  vanities? 

20  Th»  harvest  is  past,  the  'summer  is  ended,  and  we  are 

21  not  saved.  For  the  hurt  of  the  daughter  of  my  peo- 
ple am  I  hurt:  I  um  'black;  astonishment  hath  taken 

22  hold  on  me.  Is  there  no  balm  in  Gil'e-ad?  is  there 
no  physician  there  ?  why  then  is  not  the  'health  of 
the  daughter  of  my  people  '"recovered  ? 

V  Oh  that  my  head  were  waters,  and  mine  eyes  a  fount- 
ain of  tears,  that  I  might  weep  day  and  night  for 

2  the  slain  of  the  daughter  of  my  people !  "Oh  that 
I  had  in  the  wilderness  a  lodging  place  of  way- 
faring men;  that  I  might  leave  my  people,  and  go 
from  them !  for  they  be  all   adulterers,  an  assembly 

3  of  treacherous  men.  And  they  bend  their  tongue  as 
it  were  their  bow  for  falsehood ;  and  they  are  grown 
strong  in  the  land,  but  not  for  'Hruth :  for  they  pro- 
ceed from  evil  to  evil,  and  they  know  not  me,  saith 

4  the  Lord.  Take  ye  heed  every  one  of  his  neigh- 
bour, and  trust  ye  not  in  any  brother:  for  every 
brother  will  utterly  supplant,  and  every  neighbour 

6  will  go  about  with  slanders.  And  they  will  "deceive 
every  one  his  neighbour,  and  will  not  speak  the 
truth :  they  have   taught  their  tongue  to  speak  lies ; 

6  they  weary  themselves  to  commit  iniquity.  Thine 
habitation  is  in  the  midst  of  deceit;  through  deceit 
they  refuse  to  know  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Behold, 
I  will  melt  them,  and  try  them;  for  how  else  should 

8 1  do,  because  of  the  daughter  of  my  people  ?  Their 
tongue  is  a  deadly  arrow;  it  speaketh  deceit:  one 
.speaketh  peaceably  to  his  neighbour  with  his  mouth, 

9  but  in  his  heart  he  layeth  wait  for  him.  Shall  1  not 
visit  them  for  these  things?  saith  the  Lord:  shall 
not  my  soul  be  avenged  on  such  a  nation  as  this? 
10  For  the  mountains  will  I  take  up  a  weeping 
and  wailing,  and  for  the  pastures  of  the  wilder- 
ness a  lamentation,  because  they  are  burned  up, 
so  that  none  passeth  through ;  neither  can  men 
hear  the  voice  of  the  cattle;  both  the  fowl  of  the 
heavens  and    the    beast   are    fled,  they  are    gone.

11  And  I  will  make  Je-ru'sa-lem  "heaps,  and  'a  den  of 
dragons;  and  I  will  make  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  fdesolate 
without  an  inhabitant. 

12  ^'Who  is  the  wise  man,  that  may  understand  this? 
and  who  is  he  to  whom  the  mouth  of  the  IjORD  hath 
spoken,  that  he  may  declare  it,  for  what  the  land  perisheth 
and  is  burned  up  like  a  wilderness,  that  none  pa.sseth  through? 

13  And  the  Lord  saith.  Because  they  have  forsaken  my 
law,  which  I  set  before  them,  and  have  not  obeyed  my 
voice,  neither  walked  therein : 

14  But  have  ""walkecl  after  the  ||  imagination  of  their  own 
heart,  and  after  Ba'al-im,  'which  their  fathers  taught  them : 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el:  Behold,  I  will  'feed  them,  even  this  people,  "with 
wormwood,  and  give  them  water  of  gall  to  drink. 

16  I  will  ''scatter  them  al.so  among  the  heathen,  whom 
neither  they  nor  their  fathers  have  known :  "and  I  will 
send  a  sword  after  them,  till  I  have  consumed  them. 

17  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Consider  ye,  and  call 
for  'the  mourning  women,  that  they  may  come;  and  send 
for  cunning  women,  that  they  may  come: 

18  And  let  them  make  haste,  and  take  up  a  wailing  for  u.s, 
that  "our  eyes  may  run  down  with  tears,  and  our  eyelids 
gush  out  with  waters. 

1 9  For  a  voice  of  wailing  is  heard  out  of  .Zi'on,  How  are 
we  spoiled!  we  are  greatly  confounded,  because  we  have 
forsaken  the  land,  becau.se  'our  dwellings  have  cast  us  out. 

20  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  ye  women,  and  let 
your  ear  receive  the  word  of  his  mouth,  and  teach  your 
daughters  wailing,  and  every  one  her  neighbour  lamentation. 

21  For  death-  is  come  up  into  our  windows,  and  is  en- 
tered into  our  palaces,  to  cut  off  ''the  children  from  with- 
out, and  the  young  men  from  the  streets. 

22  Speak,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Even  the  carcasses  of 
men  shall  fall  ''as  dung  upon  the  open  field,  and  as  the 
handful  after  the  harvestman,  and   none  shall  gather  them. 

23  fjThus  saith  the  Lord,  'Let  not  the  wise  vian  glory  in 
his  wisdom,  neither  let  the  mighty  man  glory  in  his  might, 
let  not  the  rich  man  glory  in  his  riches: 

24  But  ■''let  him  that  glorieth  glory  in  this,  that  he  under- 
standeth  and  knoweth  me,  that  I  am  the  Lord  which  exer- 
cise lovingkindness,  judgment,  and  righteousness,  in  the 
earth :  "for  in  these  ihiyiffs  I  deligiit,  saith  the  Lord. 

25  ^Behold, the  days  come,saith  the  LoRD,that''I  will  fpuu- 
i.sh  all  them  which  are  circumcised  with  the  uncircumcised ; 

26  E'gypt,  and  Ju'dah,  and  E'dom,  and  the  children  of  Am'- 
mon,  and  Mo'ab,  and  all  that  are  fin  the  ^utmost  corners,  that 
dwell  in  the  wilderness :  for  all  these  nations  are  uncircumcised, 
and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  are  'uncircumcised  in  the  heart. 

CHAPTER  X. 

The  unequal  comparison  of  God  and  idols, 

HEAR  ye  the  word  which  the  Lord  speaketh  unto  you, 
O  house  of  Ls'ra-el : 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  "Learn  not  the  way  of  the  heathen, 
and  be  not  dismayed  at  the  signs  of  heaven;  for  the 
heathen  are  dismayed  at  them. 

3  For  the  fcustoms  of  the  people  are  vain :  for  'one 
cutteth  a  tree  out  of  the  forest,  the  work  of  the  hands  of  the 
workman,  with  the  axe. 

4  They  deck  it  with  silver  and  with  gold;  they  "fasten  it 
with  nails  and  with  hammers,  that  it  move  not. 

5  They  are  upright  as  the  palm  tree,  ''but  speak  not :  they 
mu.st  needs  be  ''borne,  because  they  cannot  go.  Be  not 
afraid  of  them ;  for  -^they  cannot  do  evil,  neither  also  is  it 
in  them  to  do  good. 

6  Forasmuch  as  there  is  none  "like  unto  thee,  O  Lord: 
thou  art  great,  and  thy  name  is  great  in  might. 

7  '■Who  would  not  fear  thee,  O  King  of  nations? 
for    II  to  thee   doth   it  appertain  :  forasmuch  as  'among  all 


11  And  I  will  make  Je-ru'sa-lem  heaps,  a  dwelling  place 
of  jackals;  and  I  will  make  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  adeso- 

12  lation,  without  inhabitant.  Who  is  the  wise  man,  that 
may  understand  this?  and  who  is  he  to  whom  the 
mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken,  that  he  may  declare 
it?  wherefore  is  the  land  perished  and  burned  up 
like  a  wilderness,  so  that  none  passeth  through? 

13  And  the  Lord  .saith.  Because  they  have  forsaken 
my  law  which  I  set  before  them,  and  have  not  obeyed 

14  my  voice ;  neither  walked  therein ;  but  have  walked 
after  the  stubbornness  of  their  own  heart,  and  after 

15  the  Ba'al-im,  which  their  fathers  taught  them  :  there- 
fore thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
Behold,  I  will  feed  them,  even  this  people,  with 
wormwood,  and  give  them  water  of  'gall  to  drink. 

161  will  scatter  them  also  among  the  nations,  whom 
neither  they  nor  their  fathers  have  known  :  and  I  will 
send  the  sword  after  them,  till  I  have  consumed  them. 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Consider  ye,  and 
call  for  the  mourning  women,  that  they  may  come ; 
and  send   for   the  cunning   women,  that  they  may 

18 come:  and  let  them  make  haste,  and  take  up  a  wail- 
ing for  us,  that  our  eyes  may  run  down  with  tears, 

19  and  our  eyelids  gush  out  with  water.s.  For  a  voice 
of  wailing  is  heard  out  of  Zi'on,  How  are  we  spoiled ! 
we  are  greatly  confounded,  because  we  have  forsaken 
the  land,  because  Hhey  have  cast  down  our  dwellings. 

20  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  ye  women,  and 
let  your  ear  receive  the  word  of  his  mouth,  and 
teach  your  daughters  wailing,   and   every  one  her 

21  neighbour  lamentation.  For  death  is  come  up  into 
our  windows,  it  is  entered  into  our  palaces ;  to  cut  off 
the  children  from  without,  and  the  young  men  from 

22  the  streets.  Speak,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  car- 
cases of  men  shall  fall  as  dung  upon  the  open  field, 
and  as  the  handful  after  the  harvestman,  and  none 
shall  gather  them. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Let  not  the  wise  man  glory 
in  his  wisdom,  neither  let  the  mighty  man  glory  in 
his  might,  let  not  the  rich  man  glory  in  his  riches : 

24  but  let  him  that  glorieth  glory  in  this,  that  he  under- 
standeth  and  knoweth  me,  that  I  am  the  Lord 
which  exercise  lovingkindne.ss,  judgement,  and 
righteousness,   in  the  earth :    for  in  these  things  I 

25  delight,  saith  the  Lord.  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  punish  all  them  which 

26  are  circumcised  in  their  uncircumcision  ;  E'gypt,  and 
Ju'dah,  and  E'dom,  and  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and 
Mo'ab,  and  all  that  have  the  corners  of  their  hair 
polled,  that  dwell  in  the  wilderness:  for  all  the 
nations  are  uncircumcised,  and  all  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  are  uncircumcised  in  heart. 

iv      Hear  ye  the  word  which  the  Lord  speaketh  unto 

2  you,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el :  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Learn 

not  the  way  of  the  nations,  and  be  not  di-smayed  at 

the  signs  of  heaven ;  for  the  nations  are  dismayed  at 

3 them.     For  the  'customs  of  the  peoples  are  vanity: 

for  ''one  cutteth  a  tree  out  of  the  forest,  the  work  of 

4  the  hands  of  the  workman  with  the  axe.  They  deck 
it  with  silver  and  with  gold  ;  they  fasten  it  with  nails 

5  and  with  hammers,  that  it  move  not.  They  are  like 
a  ■^j)alm  tree,  of  turned  work,  and  speak  not :  they 
must  needs  be  borne,  because  they  cannot  go.  Be  not 
afraid  of  them ;  for  they  cannot  do  evil,  neither  is  it 

6  in  them  to  do  good.  There  is  none  like  unto  thee,  O 
Lord;  thou  art  great, and  thy  name  is  great  in  might. 

7  Who  would  not  fear  thee,  O  King  of  the  nations? 
for  "to  thee  doth  it  appertain :  forasmuch  as  among  all

the  wise  men  of  the  nations,  and  in  all  their  kingdoms,  there 
is  none  like  unto  thee. 

8  But  they  are  faltogether*  brutish  and  foolish :  the  stock 
is  a  doctrine  of  vanities. 

9  Silver  spread  into  plates  is  brought  from  Tar'shish,  and 
'gold  from  U'phaz,  the  work  of  the  workman,  and  of  the 
hands  of  the  founder:  blue  and  purple  is  their  clothing: 
they  are  all  "the  work  of  cunning  men. 

10  But  the  Lord  is  the  f  true  God,  he  is  "the  living  God,  and 
an  feverlasting  King :  at  his  wrath  the  earth  shall  tremble, 
and  the  nations  shall  not  be  able  to  abide  his  indignation. 

11  fThus  shall  ye  say  unto  them,  »The  gods  that  have 
not  made  the  heavens  and  the  earth,  even  ''they  shall  perish 
from  the  earthy  and  from  under  these  heavens. 

12  He  'hath  made  the  earth  by  his  power,  he  hath  'estab- 
ished  the  world  by  his  wisdom,  and  "hath  stretched  out  the 
heavens  by  his  discretion. 

13  ''When  he  uttereth  his  voice,  there  is  a  ||  multitude  of 
waters  in  the  heavens,  and  "he  causeth  the  vapours  to  as- 
cend from  the  ends  of  the  earth ;  he  maketh  lightnings 
II  with  rain,  and  bringeth  forth  the  wind  out  of  his  treasures. 

14  ''Every  man  ||is  "brutish  in  his  knowledge:  ''every 
founder  is  confounded  by  the  graven  image:  "for  his  molten 
image  is  falsehood,  and  there  is  no  breath  in  them. 

15  They  are  vanity,  and  the  work  of  errors:  in  the  time 
of  their  visitation  ''they  shall  perish. 

16  'The  portion  of  Ja'cob  is  not  like  them:  for  he  is  the 
former  of  all  things;  and -Ts'ra-el  is  the  rod  of  his  inherit- 
ance :  "The  Loed  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

17  ^*Gather  up  thy  wares  out  of  the  land,  O  finhabitant 
of  the  fortress. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  'sling  out  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land  at  this  once,  and  will  distress  them, 
*that  they  may  find  it  so. 

19  ^'Woe  is  me  for  my  hurt!  my  wound  is  grievous: 
but  I  said,  ""Truly  t^^'s  is  a  grief,  and  "I  must  bear  it. 

20  "My  tabernacle  is  spoiled,  and  all  my  cords  are  broken : 
my  children  are  gone  forth  of  me,  and  they  are  not :  there  is  none 
to  stretch  forth  my  tent  r  iy  more,  and  to  set  up  my  curtains. 

21  For  the  pastors  are  become  brutish,  and  have  not 
sought  the  Lord:  therefore  they  shall  not  prosper,  and  all 
their  flocks  shall  be  scattered. 

22  Behold,  the  noise  of  the  bruit  is  come,  and  a  great 
commotion  out  of  the  "north  country,  to  make  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah  desolate,  and  a  'den  of  dragons. 

23  ^O  Lord,  I  know  that  the  'way  of  man  is  not  in  him- 
self: it  is  not  in  man  that  walketh  to  direct  his  steps. 

24  O  Lord,  'correct  me,  but  with  judgment;  not  in  thine 
anger,  lest  thou  fbring  me  to  nothing. 

25  'Pour  out  thy  fury  upon  the  heathen  that  "know  thee  not, 
and  upon  the  families  that  call  not  on  thy  name :  for  they 
have  eaten  up  Ja'cob,  and  'devoured  him,  and  consumed 
him,  and  have  made  his  habitation  desolate. 

CHAPTER    XI, 

Jeremiah  proclaimeth  God's  covenant,  and  rebuketh  the  Jews. 

THE  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  saying, 
2  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  covenant,  and  speak  unto 
the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 

3  And  say  thou  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Is'ra-el ;  "Cursed  he  the  man  that  obeyeth  not  the  words  of 
this  covenant, 

4  Which  I  commanded  your  fathers  in  the  day  thai  I 
brought  them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  ""from  the  iron 
furnace,  saying,  ''Obey  my  voice,  and  do  them  according  to 
all  which  I  command  you:  so  shall  ye  be  my  people,  and  I 
will  be  your  God  : 

5  That  I  may  perform  thie''oath  which  I  have  sworn  unto  your 
fathers,  to  give  them  a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  as  ii 
is  this  day.     Then  answered  I,  and  said,  fSo  be  it,  O  Lord. 


the  wise  men  of  the  nations,  and  in  all  their  royal  es- 

8  tate,  there  is  none  like  unto  thee.  But  they  are  'to- 
gether brutish  and  foolish :  ^the  instruction  of  idols, 

9  it  is  but  a  stock.  There  is  silver  beaten  into  plates 
which  is  brought  from  Tar'shish,  and  gold  from 
'U'phaz,  the  work  of  the  artificer  and  of  the  hands 
of  the  goldsmith ;  blue  and  purple  for  their  cloth- 

10  ing ;  they  are  all  the  work  of  cunning  men.  But  the 
Lord  is  *the  true  God;  he  is  the  living  God,  and  an 
everlasting  king ;  at  his  wrath  the  earth  trembleth,  and 
the  nations  are  not  able  to  abide  his  indignation. 

11  'Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  them.  The  gods  that  have 
not  made  the  heavens  and  the  earth,  "^these  shall 
perish  from  the  earth,  and  from  under  the  heavens. 

12  He  hath  made  the  earth  by  his  power,  he  hath 
established  the  world  by  his  wisdom,  and  by  his 
understanding  hath   he  stretched  out  the  heavens: 

13Vhen  he  uttereth  his  voice,  there  is  a  tumult  of 
waters  in  the  heavens,  and  he  causeth  the  vapours 
to  ascend  from  the  ends  of  the  earth;  he  maketh 
lightnings  for  the  rain,  and  bringeth  forth  the  wind 

14  out  of  his  treasuries.  Every  man  *is  become  brutish 
and  is  without  knowledge;  every  goldsmith  is  put 
to  shame  by  his  graven  image :  for  his  molten  image 

15  is  falsehood,  and  there  is  no  breath  in  them.  They 
are    vanity,   a   work   of  ^delusion:    in    the   time  of 

16  their  visitation  they  shall  perish.  The  portion  of 
Ja'cob  is  not  like  the.se;  for  he  is  the  former  of  all 
things ;  and  Is'ra-el  is  the  tribe  of  his  inheritance : 
the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

17  Gather  up  '"thy  wares  out  of  the  land,  "O  thou 

18  that  abidest  in  the  siege.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  sling  out  the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
at  this  time,  and  will  disti'ess  them,  that  they  may 

19'^feel  it.  Woe  is  me  for  my  hurt!  my  wound  is 
grievous:  but  T  said.  Truly  this  is  my  ''grief,  and  I 

20  must  bear  it.  My  tent  is  spoiled,  and  all  my  cords 
are  broken :  my  children  are  gone  forth  of  me,  and 
they  are  not :  there  is  none  to  stretch  forth  my  tent 

21  any  more,  and  to  set  up  my  curtains.  For  the  shep- 
herds are  become  brutish,  and  have  not  inquired  of 
the  Lord  :  therefore  they  have  not  '''prospered,  and  all 

22  their  flocks  are  scattered.  The  voice  of  a  rumour, 
behold  it  cometh,  and  a  great  commotion  out  of  the 
north  country,  to  make  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  a  desola- 

23tion,  a  dwelling  place  of  jackals.  O  Lord,  I  know 
that  the  way  of  man  is  not  in  himself:  it  is  not  in 

24  man  that  walketh  to  'direct  his  steps.  O  Lord,  cor- 
rect me,  but  with  judgement ;  not  in  thine  anger,  lest 

25  thou  '-'bring  me  to  nothing.  '^Pour  out  thy  fury  upon 
the  heathen  that  know  thee  not,  and  upon  the  families 
that  call  not  on  thy  name :  for  they  have  devoured 
Ja'cob,  yea,  they  have  devoured  him  and  consul  ed 
him,  and  have  laid  waste  his  "habitation. 

++     The  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 

2  saying,  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  covenant,  and  speak 
unto  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 

3  sa-lem ;  and  say  thou  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Cursed  be  the  man  that  heareth 

4  not  the  words  of  this  covenant,  which  I  commanded 
your  fathers  in  the  day  that  I  brought  them  forth  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  out  of  the  iron  furnace,  saying, 
Obey  my  voice,  and  do  them,  according  to  all  which 
I  command  you :  so  shall  ye  be  my  people,  and  I 

5 will  be  your  God:  that  I  may  establish  the  oath 
which  I  sware  unto  your  fathers,  to  give  them  a  land 
flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  as  at  this  day.  Then 
answered  I,  and  said.  Amen,  O  Lord.

6  Then  the  Lokd  said  unto  me,  Proclaim  all  these  words 
in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
saying,  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  covenant,  "and  do  them. 

7  For  I  earnestly  protested  unto  your  fathers  in  the  day 
that  I  brought  them  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  even  unto 
this  dayj^rising  early  and  protesting,  saying,  Obey  my  voice. 

8  "Yet  they  obeyed  not,  nor  inclined  their  ear,  but  ''walked 
every  one  in  the  ||imagination  of  their  evil  heart:  therefore 
I  will  bring  upon  them  all  the  words  of  this  covenant,  which 
I  commanded  thevi  to  do ;  but  they  did  them  not. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  'A  conspiracy  is  found 
among  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  among  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10  They  are  turned  back  to  *the  iniquities  of  their  fore- 
fathers, which  refused  to  hear  my  words;  and  they  went 
after  other  gods  to  serve  them :  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and 
the  hou.se  of  Ju'dah  have  broken  my  covenant  which  I 
made  with  their  fathers. 

11  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  them  which  they  shall  not  be  able  fto  escape ; 
and  'though  they  shall  cry  unto  me,  I  will  not  hearken  unto 
them. 

12  Then  shall  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  and  inhabitants  of  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  go,  and  "cry  unto  the  gods  unto  whom  they  offer 
incense :  but  they  shall  not  save  them  at  all  in  the  time  of 
their  ftrouble. 

13  For  according  to  the  number  of  thy  "cities  were  thy 
gods,  O  Ju'dah ;  and  according  to  the  number  of  the  streets 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem  have  ye  set  up  altars  to  that  fshameful 
thing,  even  altars  to  burn  incense  unto  Ba'al. 

14  Therefore  "pray  not  thou  for  this  people,  neither  lift 
up  a  cry  or  prayer  for  them;  for  I  will  not  hear  them  in 
the  time  that  they  cry  unto  me  for  their  ftrouble. 

15  ''fWhat  hath  my  beloved  to  do  in  mine  house,  seeing 
she  hath  'wrought  lewdness  with  many;  and ''the  holy  flesh 
is  passed  from  thee?  ||when  thou  doest  evil,  then  thou 
'rejoicest. 

16  The  Lord  called  thy  name,  'A  green  olive  tree,  fair, 
and  of  goodly  fruit :  with  the  noise  of  a  great  tumuft  he 
hath  kindled  fire  upon  it,  and  the  branches  of  it  are  broken. 

17  For  the  Lord  of  hosts,  "that  planted  thee,  hath  pro- 
nounced evil  against  thee,  for  the  evil  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
and  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  which  they  have  done  against 
themselves  to  provoke  me  to  anger  in  offering  incense  unto 
Ba'al. 

18  ^And  the  Lord  hath  given  me  knowledge  of  it,  and  I 
know  it:  then  thou  shewedst  me  their  doings. 

19  But  I  was  like  a  lamb  or  an  ox  that  is  brought  to  the 
slaughter ;  and  I  knew  not  that  ^they  had  devised  devices 
against  me,  saying,  Let  us  destroy  fthe  tree  with  the  fruit 
thereof,  "and  let  us  cut  him  off  from  'the  land  of  the  living, 
that  his  name  may  be  no  more  remembered. 

20  But,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  that  judgest  righteously,  that 
"triest  the  reins  and  the  heart,  let  me  see  thy  vengeance  on 
them :  for  unto  thee  have  I  revealed  my  cause. 

21  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  the  men  of  An'a-thoth, 
''that  seek  thy  life,  saying,  "Prophesy  not  in  -the  name  of  the 
Lord,  that  thou  die  not  by  our  hand : 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Behold,  I  will 
tpunish  them:  the  young  men  shall  die  by  the  sword; 
their  sons  and  their  daughters  shall  die  by  famine : 

23  And  there  shall  be  no  remnant  of  them :  for  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  the  men  of  An'a-thoth,  evenHhe  year  of  their  visitation. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

Jeremiah  complaineth  of  the  prosperity  of  the  wicked. 

RIGHTEOUS  ''art  thou,  O  Lord,  when  I  plead  with  thee : 
yet  1 1  let  me  talk  with  thee  of  <%  judgments:  'Where- 
fore doth  the  way  of  the  wicked  prosper  ?  wherefore  are  all 
they  happy  that  deal  very  treacherously  ? 


6  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Proclaim  all  these 
words  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of 
Je-ru'.sa-lem,  saying.  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  cove- 

7  nant,  and  do  them.  For  I  earnestly  protested  unto 
your  fathers  in  the  day  that  I  brought  them  up  out  of 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  even  unto  this  day,  rising  early  and 

8  protesting,  saying.  Obey  my  voice.  Yet  they  obeyed 
not  nor  inclined  their  ear,  but  walked  every  one  in  the 
stubbornness  of  their  evil  heart:  therefore  I  brought 
upon  them  all  the  words  of  this  covenant,  which  I 
commanded  them  to  do,  but  they  did  them  not. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  A  conspiracy  is 
found  among  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and   among  the 

10  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  They  are  turned  back 
to  the  iniquities  of  their  forefathers,  which  refused  to 
hear  my  words;  and  they  are  gone  after  other  gods 
to  serve  them:  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  house 
of  Ju'dah  have  broken  my  covenant  which  I  made 

11  with  their  fathers.  Therefore  thus  saith«the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon  them,  which  they 
shall  not  be  able  to  escape ;  and  they  shall  cry  unto 

12  me,  but  I  will  not  hearken  unto  them.  Then  shall 
the  citie.^  of  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
go  and  cry  unto  the  gods  unto  whom  they  offer 
incense :    but  they  shall  not  save  them  at  all  in  the 

13  time  of  their  'trouble.  For  according  to  the  number 
of  thy  cities  are  thy  gods,  O  Ju'dah ;  and  according 
to  the  number  of  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  have  ye 
set  up  altar^  to  the  ^shameful  thing,  even  altars  to 

14  burn  incense  unto  Ba'al.  Therefore  pray  not  thou 
for  this  people,  neither  lift  up  cry  nor  prayer  for 
them :  for  I  will  not  hear  them  in  the  time  that  they 
cry  unto  me  'for  their  'trouble. 

15  ■'What  hath  my  beloved  to  do  in  mine  house,  see- 
ing she  hath  wrought  lewdness  with  many,  and  the 
holy  flesh  is  passed  from    thee?   'when  thou  doest 

16  evil,  then  thou  rejoicest.  The  Lord  called  thy 
name,  A  green  olive  tree,  fair  with  goodly  fruit: 
with  the  noise  of  a  great  tumult  he  hath  kindled  fire 

17  upon  it,  and  the  branches  of  it  are  broken.  For 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  planted  thee,  hath  pro- 
nounced evil  against  thee,  because  of  the  evil  of  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el  and  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  which 
they  have  wrought  for  themselves  in  provoking  me 
to  anger  by  offering  incense  unto  Ba'al. 

18  And  the  Lord  gave  me  knowledge  of  it,  and  I 

19  knew  it :  then  thou  shewedst  me  their  doings.  But 
I  was  like  a  gentle  lamb  that  is  led  to  the  slaughter ; 
and  I  knew  not  that  they  had  devised  devices  against 
me,  saying,  Let  us  destroy  the  tree  with  the  'fruit 
thereof,  and  let  us  cut  him  off  from  the  land  of  the 
living,  that  his  name  may  be  no  more  remembered. 

20 But,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  that  judgest  righteously,  that 
triest  the  reins  and  the  heart,  let  me  see  thy  vengeance 
on  them :    for  unto  thee  have  I  revealed  my  cause. 

21  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning  the  men 
of  An'a-thoth,  that  seek  thy  life,  saying.  Thou  shalt 
not  prophesy  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  that  thou 

22  die  not  by  our  hand :  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts.  Behold,  I  will  'punish  them :  the  young 
men  shall  die  by  the  sword ;    their  sons  and  their 

23 daughters  shall  die  by  famine;  and  there  shall  be 
no  remnant  unto  them :  for  I  will  bring  evil  upon  the 
men  of  An'a-thoth,  *even  the  year  of  their  visitation. 

i^  Righteous  art  thou,0  LoRD,when  I  plead  with  thee: 
yet  would  I  'reason  the  cause  with  thee :  wherefore 
doth  the  way  of  the  wicked  prosper?  wherefore  are 
all  they    at    ease    that    deal    very   treacherously?

2  Thou  hast  planted  them,  yea,  they  have  taken  root : 
fthey  grow,  yea,  they  bring  forth  fruit:  'thou  art  near  in 
their  moutii,  and  far  from  their  reins. 

3  But  thou,  O  LoED,  ''knowest  me  :  thou  hast  seen  me,  and 
tried  mine  heart  ftoward  thee :  pull  them  out  like  sheep 
for  the  slaughter,  and  prepare  them  for  -^the  day  of  slaughter. 

4  How  long  shall  "the  land  mourn,  and  the  herbs  of 
every  field  wither,  *for  the  wickedness  of  them  that  dwell 
therein?  'the  beasts  are  consumed,  and  the  birds;  because 
they  said,  He  shall  not  see  our  last  end. 

5  ^If  thou  hast  run  with  the  footmen,  and  they  have 
wearied  thee,  then  how  canst  thou  contend  with  horses  ?  and 
if  in  the  land  of  peace,  wherein  thou  trustedst,  theij  wearied 
thee,  then  how  wilt  thou  do  in  *the  swelling  of  Jor'dan  ? 

6  For  even  'thy  brethren,  and  the  house  of  thy  father,  even 
they  have  dealt  treacherously  with  thee;  yea,  ||they  have 
called  a  multitude  after  thee:  ""believe  them  not  though 
they  speak  f  fair  words  unto  thee. 

7  ^[I  haVfe  forsaken  mine  house,  I  have  left  mine  heritage ; 
I  have  given  fthe  dearly  beloved  of  my  soul  into  the  hand 
of  her  enemies. 

8  Mine  heritage  is  unto  me  as  a  lion  in  the  forest;  it 
llfcrieth  out  again.st  me:  therefore  have  I  hated  it. 

9  Mine  heritage  is  unto  me  a«  a  ||  speckled  bird,  the  birds 
round  about  are  against  her;  come  ye,  assemble  all  the 
beasts  of  the  field,  ||"come  to  devour. 

10  Many  "pastors  have  destroyed  ''my  vineyard,  they  have 
"trodden  my  portion  under  foot,  they  have  made  my 
tpleasant  portion  a  desolate  wilderness. 

11  They  have  made  it  desolate,  and  being  desolate  'it 
mourneth  unto  me;  the  whole  land  is  made  desolate, 
because  'no  man  layeth  it  to  heart. 

12  The  spoilers  are  come  upon  all  high  places  through 
the  wilderness:  for  the  sword  of  the  Lord  shall  devoti 
from  the  one  end  of  the  land  even  to  the  other  end  of  the 
land :  no  flesh  shall  have  peace. 

13  'They  have  sown  wheat,  but  shall  reap  thorns:  they 
have  put  themselves  to  pain,  hut  shall  not  profit:  and  ||they 
shall  be  ashamed  of  your  revenues  because   of  the   fierce f 
anger  of  the  Lord. 

1 4  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  against  all  mine  evil  neighbours, 
that  "touch  the  inheritance  which  I  have  caused  my  people 
Is'ra-el  to  inherit ;  Behold,  I  will  "'pluck  them  out  of  their 
land,  and  pluck  out  the  house  of  Ju'dah  from  among  them. 

15  "And  it  shall  came  to  pass,,  after  that  I  have  plucked 
them  out  I  will  return,  and  have  compassion  on  them,  ''and 
will  bring  them  again,  every  man  to  his  heritage,  and  every 
man  to  his  land. 

16  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  they  will  diligently  learn 
the  ways  of  my  people,  "to  swear  by  my  name,  The  Lord 
liveth ;  as  they  taught  my  people  to  swear  by  Ba'al ;  then 


swear 
shall  they  be  ^built  in  the  midst  of  my  people. 

17  But  if  they  will  not  'obey,  I  will  utterly  pluck  up  and 
destroy  that  nation,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER   XIII. 

Sy  the  type  of  a  linen  girdle,  God  prefigureth  his  people's  destruction. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord  unto  me.  Go  and  get  thee  a  linen 
girdle,  and  put  it  upon  thy  loins,  and  put  it  not  in  water. 

2  So  I  got  a  girdle  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
and  put  a  on  my  loins. 

3  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me  the  second 
time,  saying, 

4  Take  the  girdle  that  thou  hast  got,  which  is  upon  thy  loius, 
and  arise,  go  to  Eu-phra'tes,  and  hide  it  there  in  a  hole  of  the  rock. 

5  So  I  went,  and  hid  it  by  Eu-phra'tes,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded me. 

I  6  And  it  came  to  pass  after  many  days,  that  the  Lord  said 
junto  me,  Arise,  go  to  Eu-phra'tes,  and  take  the  girdle  from 
I  thence,  which  I  commanded  thee  to  hide  there. 


2  Thou  hast  planted  them,  yea,  they  have  taken 
root ;  they  grow,  yea,  they  bring  forth  fruit : 
thou   art   near  in  their  mouth,  and  far  from   their 

3  reins.  But  thou,  O  Lord,  knowest  me ;  thou 
seest  me,  and  triest  mine  heart  toward  thee:  pull 
them  out  like  sheep  for  the  slaughter,  and  'prepare 

4  them  for  the  day  of  slaughter.  How  long  shall  the 
land  mourn,  and  the  herbs  of  the  whole  country 
wither?  for  the  wickedness  of  them  that  dwell 
therein,  the  beasts  are  consumed,  and  the  birds; 
because  they  said,  He  shall  not  see  our  latter  end. 

5  If  thou  hast  run  with  the  footmen,  and  they  have 
wearied  thee,  then  how  canst  thou  contend  with 
horses?  and  though  in  a  land  of  peace  thou  art 
secure,  yet  how  wilt  thou  do  in  the  ^pride  of  Jor'dan "/ 

6  For  even  thy  brethren,  and  the  house  of  thy  father, 
even  they  have  dealt  treacherously  with  thee;  even 
they  have  cried  aloud  after  thee:  believe  them  not, 
though  they  speak  'fair  words  unto  thee. 

7  I  have  fonsaken  mine  house,  I  have  cast  off  mine 
heritage ;  I  have  given  the  dearly  beloved  of  my  soul 

8  into  the  hand  of  her  enemies.     Mine  heritage  is  be 
come  unto  me  as  a  lion  in  the  forest :  she  hath  uttered 
her  voice  against  me;  therefore  I  have  hated  her. 

9  Is  mine  heritage  unto  me  as  a  speckled  bird  of  prey  ? 
are  the  birds  of  prey  against  her  round  about?  go 
ye,  assemble  all  the  beasts  of  the  field,  bring  them  to 

10  devour.  Many  shepherds  have  destroyed  my  vine- 
yard, they  have  trodden  my  portion  under  foot,  they 
have  made  my  pleasant  portion  a  desolate  wilder- 

11  ness.  They  have  made  it  a  desolation;  it  mourneth 
unto   me,  being  desolate;  the   whole   land   is  made 

12  desolate,  because  no  man  layeth  it  to  heart.  Spoilers 
are  come  upon  all  the  bare  heights  in  the  wilderness : 
for  the  sword  of  the  Lord  devoureth  from  the  one 
end  of  the  land  even  to  the  other  end  of  the  land :  no 

13  flesh  hath  peace.  They  have  sown  wheat,  and  have 
reaped  thorns ;  they  have  put  themselves  to  pain,  and 
profit  nothing:  and  *ye  shall  be  ashamed  of  your 
fruits,  because  of  the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord. 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord  against  all  mine  evil  neigh- 
bours, that  touch  the  inheritance  which  I  have  caused 
my  people  Is'ra-el  to  inherit:  Behold,  I  will  pluck 
them  up  from  off  their  land,  and  will  pluck  up  the 

15  house  of  Ju'dah  from  among  them.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pa.ss,  after  that  I  have  plucked  them  up,  I

will  return  and  have  compassion  on  them ;  and

16  every  man  to  his  land.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  they  will  diligently  learn  the  ways  of  my  people, 
to  swear  by  my  name.  As  the  Lord  liveth ;  even  as 
they  taught  my  people  to  swear  by  Ba'al ;  then  shall 

1 7  they  be  built  up  in  the  midst  of  my  people.  But  if 
they  will  not  hear,  then  will  I  pluck  up  that  nation, 
plucking  up  and  destroying  it,  saith  the  Lord.

linen  girdle,  and  put  it  upon  thy  loins,  and  put  it  not 

2  in   water.     So  I  bought  a  girdle  according  to   the 

3  word  of  the  Lord,  and  put  it  upon  my  loins.  And 
the  word   of  the  Lord  came  unto   me  the  second 

4  time,  saying.  Take  the  girdle  that  thou  hast  bought, 
which  is  upon  thy  loins,  and  arise,  go  to  Eu- 
phra'tes,    and    hide    it    there     in    a    hole    of    the 

5  rock.     So  I  went,  and  hid  it  by  Eu-phra'tes,  as  the 

6  Lord  commanded  me.  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  many  days,  that  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Arise,  go  to  Eu-phra'tes,  and  take  the  girdle  from 
thence,   which   I   commanded   thee   to    tide  there.

i  7  Then  I  went  to  Eu-phra'te.s,  and  digged,  and  took  the 
girdle  from  the  place  where  I  had  hid  it :  and,  behold,  the 
girdle  was  marred,  it  wa.s  profitable  for  nothing. 

8  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  After  this  manner  "will  I  mar  the 
pride  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  great  pride  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10  This  evil  people,  which  refuse  to  hear  my  words,  which 
''walk  in  the  || imagination  of  their  heart,  and  walk  after 
other  gods,  to  serve  them,  and  to  Avorship  them,  shall  even 
be  as  this  girdle,  which  is  good  for  nothing. 

11  For  as  the  girdle  cleaveth  to  the  loins  of  a  man,  so 
have  I  caused  to  cleave  unto  me  the  whole  house  of  Is'ra-el 
and  the  whole  house  of  Ju'dah,  saith  the  Lord;  that  ''they 
might  be  unto  me  for  a  people,  and  ""for  a  name,  and  for  a 
praise,  and  for  a  glory :  but  they  would  not  hear. 

12  ^[Therefore  thou  shalt  speak  unto  them  this  word; 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Every  bottle  shall  be 
filled  with  wine :  and  they  shall  say  unto  thee.  Do  we  not 
certainly  know  that  every  bottle  shall  be  filled  with  wine? 

13  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  fill  all  the  inhabitants  of  this  land,  even  the  kings 
that  sit  upon  Da'vid's  throne,and  the  priests,  and  the  prophets, 
and  all  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  'with  drunkenness. 

14  And  ^1  will  dash  them  foue  against  another,  even  the 
fathers  and  the  sons  together,  saith  the  Lord  :  I  will  not 
pity,  nor  sjjare,  nor  have  mercy,  fbut  destroy  them. 

15  ^Hear  ye,  and  give  ear;  be  not  proud;  for  the  Lord 
hath  spoken. 

16  "Give  glory  to  the  Lord  your  God,  before  he  cause 
*darkness,  and  before  your  feet  stumble  upon  the  dark 
mountains,  and,  while  ye  *look  for  light,  he  turn  it  into 
*the  shadow  of  death,  and  make  it  gross  darkness, 

17  But  if  ye  will  not  hear  it,  my  soul  shall  weep  in  secret 
places  for  your  pride ;  and  'mine  eye  shall  weep  sore,  and 
run  down  with  tears,  because  the  Lord's  flock  is  carried 
away  captive. 

18  Say  unto  "the  king  and  to  the  queen.  Humble  your- 
selves, sit  down:  for  your  || principalities  shall  come  down, 
ecen  the  crown  of  your  glory. 

19  The  cities  of  the  south  shall  be  shut  up,  and  none 
shall  open  them:  Ju'dah  shall  be  carried  away  captive  all  of 
it,  it  shall  be  wholly  carried  away  captive. 

20  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  behold  them  "that  come  from 
the  north :  where  is  the  flock  that  was  given  thee,  thy 
beautiful  flock? 

21  What  wilt  thou  say  when  he  shall  fpunish  thee?  for 
thou  hast  taught  them  to  be  captains,  and  as  chief  over  thee: 
shall  not  "sorrows  take  thee  as  a  woman  in  travail? 

22  1[And  if  thou  say  in  thine  heart,  "Wherefore  come 
the.se  things  upon  me?  For  the  greatness  of  thine  iniquity 
are  «thy  skirts  discovered,  and  thy  heels  ||  made  bare. 

23  Can  the  E-thi-o'pi-an  change  his  skin,  or  the  leopard  his 
sjx)ts?  i^enmayyealso  dogood,thataretaccustomedtodoevil. 

24  Therefore  will  I  scatter  them  'as  the  stubble  that  passeth 
away  by  the  wind  of  the  wilderness. 

25  'This  is  thy  lot,  the  portion  of  thy  measures  from  me, 
saith  the  Lord;  because  thou  hast  forgotten  me,  and 
trusted  in  'falsehood. 

26  Therefore  "will  I  discover  thy  skirts  upon  thy  face, 
that  thy  shame  may  appear. 

27  I  have  seen  thine  adulteries,  and  thy  ''neighings,  the 
lewdness  of  thy  whoredom,  and  thine  abominations"  on  the 
hills  in  the  fields.  Woe  unto  thee,  O  Je-ru'sa-lem!  wilt  thou

are  gone  after  other  gods  to  serve  them,  and  to  wor- 
ship them,   shall  even    be  as   this  girdle,   which  is 

1 1  profitable  for  nothing.  For  as  the  girdle  cleaveth  to 
the  loins  of  a  man,  so  have  I  caused  to  cleave  unto 
me  the  whole  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  whole  house 
of  Ju'dah,  saith  the  Lord  ;  that  they  might  be  unto 
me  for  a  people,  and   for  a  name,  and  for  a  praise, 

12 and  for  a  glory:  but  they  would  not  hear.  There- 
fore thou  shalt  speak  unto  them  this  word  :  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Every  'bottle  shall  be 
filled  with  wine :  and  they  shall  say  unto  thee,  Do 
we  not  know  that  every  'bottle  shall  be  filled  with 

13  wine?  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  fill  all  the  inhabitants  of  this  land, 
even  the  kings  that  sit  ^upon  Da'vid's  throne,  and  the 
priests,  and  the  prophets,  and  all  the  inhabitants  of 

14  Je-ru'sa-lem,  with  drunkenness.  And  I  will  dash  them 
one  against  another,  even  the  fathers  and  the  sons 
together, saith  the  Lord:  I  will  not  pity,  nor  spare,  nor 
have  compassion,  that  I  should  not  destroy  them 

15  Hear   ye   and   give  ear;    be  not  proud:    for  the 

16  Lord  hath  spoken.  Give  glory  to  the  Lord  your 
God,  before  'he  cause  darknes.s,  and  before  your 
feet  stumble  upon  the  *dark  mountains ;  and,  while 
ye  look  for  light,  he  turn  it  into  Hhe  shadow   of 

17  death,  and  make  it  gross  darkness.  But  if  ye  will 
not  hear  it,  my  soul  shall  weep  in  secret  for  your 
pride;  and  mine  eye  shall  weep  sore,  and  run  down 
with  tears,  because  the  Lord's  flock  is  taken  captive 

18  Say  thou  unto  the  king  and  to  the  queen-mother, 
^Humble  yourselves,  sit  down:  for  your  headtires 
are    come  down,  even   'the  crown    of  your  glory. 

19  The  cities  of  the  South  are  shut  up,  and  there  is 
none  to  open  them :  Ju'dah  is  carried  away  captive 
all  of  it;  it  is  wholly  carried  away  captive. 

20  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  behold  them  that  come 
from  the  north :  where  is  the  flock  that  was  given 

21  thee,  thy  beautiful  flock?  *What  wilt  thou  say, 
when  he  shall  set  thy  friends  over  thee  as  head,  see- 
ing thou  thyself  ha.st  instructed  them  against  thee? 
shall  not  sorrows  take  hold  of  thee,  as  of  a  woman 

22  in  travail  ?  And  if  thou  say  in  thine  heart.  Where- 
fore are  these  things  come  upon  me?  for  the  "greatness 
of  thine  iniquity  are  thy  skirts  discovered,  and  thy 

23  heels  suifer  violence.  Can  the  E-thi-o'pi-an  change 
his  skin,  or  the  leopard  his  spots?  then  may  ye  also 

24  do  good,  that  are  '"accustomed  to  do  evil.  Therefore 
will  I  scatter  them,  as  the  stubble  that  passeth  away, 

25  "by  the  wind  of  the  wilderness.  This  is  thy  lot,  the 
portion  measured  unto  thee  from  me,  saith  the  Lord  ; 
because  thou  hast  forgotten  me,  and  trusted  in  false- 

26  hood.     Therefore  will  I  also  discover  thy  skirts  '^upou 

27  thy  face,  and  thy  shame  shall  appear.  I  have  seen 
thine  abominations,  even  thine  adulteries,  and  thy 
neighings,  the  lewdness  of  thy  whoredom,  on  the  hills 
in  the  field.  Woe  unto  thee,  O  Je-ru'sa-lem !  thou  wilt 
not  be  made  clean ;  how  long  shall  it  yet  be  ?

gone  up. 

3  And  their  nobles  have  sent  their  little  ones  to  the 
waters :  they  came  to  the  pits  and  found  no  water ;  they 
returned  with  their  vessels  empty ;  they  were  ''ashamed  and 
confounded,  'and  covered  their  heads. 

4  Because  the  ground  is  chapped,  for  there  was  no  rain 
in  tlie  earth,  the  ploughmen  were  ashamed,  they  covered 
their  heads. 

5  Yea,  the  hind  also  calved  in  the  field,  and  forsook  it, 
because  there  was  no  grass. 

6  AndAhe  wild  asses  did  stand  in  the  high  places,  they 
snuffed  up  the  wind  like  dragons ;  their  eyes  did  &il,  because 
there  was  no  grass. 

7  ^O  LoED,  though  our  iniquities  testify  against  us,  do 
thou  U  "for  thy  name's  sake :  for  our  backslidings  are  many ; 
we  have  sinned  against  thee. 

8  *0  the  hope  of  Is'ra-el,  the  Saviour  thereof  in  time  of 
trouble,  why  shouldest  thou  be  as  a  stranger  in  the  land,  and 
as  a  wayfaring  man  thai  turneth  aside  to  tarry  for  a  night? 

9  Why  shouldest  thou  be  as  a  man  astonished,  as  a 
mighty  man  Hhat  can  not  save  ?  yet  thou,  O  Lord,  ^art  in 
the  midst  of  us,  and  fwe  are  called  by  thy  name :  leave 
us  not. 

10  T[Thu8  saith  the  Lord  unto  this  people,  'Thus  have 
they  loved  to  wander,  they  have  not  refrained  their  feet, 
therefore  the  Lord  doth  not  accept  them;  ™he  will  now 
remember  their  iniquity,  and  visit  their  sins. 

11  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me,  "Pray  not  for  this  people 
for  their  good. 

12  "When  they  fast,  I  will  not  hear  their  cry,  and  ?'when 
they  offer  burnt  offering  and  an  oblation,  I  will  not  accept 
them ;  but  «I  will  consume  them  by  the  sword,  and  by  the 
famine,  and  by  the  pestilence. 

13  ^""Then  said  I,  Ah,  Lord  God  !  behold,  the  prophets 
say  unto  them.  Ye  shall  not  see  the  sword,  neither  shall  ye 
have  famine;  but  I  will  give  you  fassured  peace  in  this 
place. 

14  Then  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  'The  prophets  prophesy 
lies  in  my  name :  'I  sent  them  not,  neither  have  I  commanded 
them,  neither  spake  unto  them :  they  prophesy  unto  you 
a  false  vision  and  divination,  and  a  thing  of  nought,  and 
the  deceit  of  their  heart. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning  the  prophets 
that  prophesy  in  my  name,  and  I  sent  them  not,  "yet  they 
say,  Sword  and  famine  shall  not  be  in  this  land ;  By  sword 
and  famine  shall  those  prophets  be  consumed. 

16  And  the  people  to  whom  they  prophesy  shall  be  cast 
out  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  because  of  the  famine  and 
the  sword ;  ""and  they  shall  have  none  to  bury  them,  them, 
their  wives,  nor  their  sons,  nor  their  daughters :  for  I  will 
pour  their  wickedness  upon  them. 

17  ^Therefore  thou  shalt  say  this  word  unto  them;  "Let 
mine  eyes  run  down  with  tears  night  and  day,  and  let  them 
not  cease  :  "for  the  virgin  daughter  of  my  people  is  broken 
with  a  great  breach,  with  a  very  grievous  blow. 

18  If  I  go  forth  into  "the  field,  then  behold  the  slain  with 
the  sword !  and  if  I  enter  into  the  city,  then  behold  them 
that  are  sick  with  famine!  yea,  both  the  prophet  and  the 
priest  1 1  go  about  into  a  land  that  they  know  not. 

19  ""Hast  thou  utterly  rejected  Ju'dah?  hath  thy  soul 
loathed  Zi'on?  Why  hast  thou  smitten  us,  and  'there  is  no 
healing  for  us  ?  ''we  looked  for  peace,  and  there  is  no  good  ; 
and  for  the  time  of  healing,  and  behold  trouble ! 

20  We  acknowledge,  O  Lord,  our  wickedness,  and  the 
iniquity  of  our  fathers:  for  "we  have  sinned  against  thee. 

21  Do  not  abhor  us,  for  thy  name's  sake;  do  not  disgrace 
the  throne  of  thy  glory :  ■'^remember,  break  not  thy  convenant 
with  us. 


sit  in  black  upon  the  ground  ;  and  the  cry  of  Je-ru'- 
3sa-lem  is  gone  up.  And  their  nobles  send  their 
'little  ones  ^to  the  waters:  they  come  to  the  pits, 
and  find  no  water;  they  return  with  their  vessels 
empty :     they    are    ashamed    and    confounded,    and 

4  cover  their  heads.  Because  of  the  ground  which 
is  ^chapt,  for  that  no  rain  hath  been  in  the  land,  the 
plowmen    are    ashamed,    they    cover    their   heads. 

5  Yea,  the  hind  also  in  the  field  calveth,and  forsaketh 

6  her  young,  because  there  is  no  grass.  And  the  wild 
asses  stand  on  the  bare  heights,  they  pant  for  air 
like  ^jackals;  their  eyes  fail,  because  there  is  no 
herbage. 

7  Though  our  iniquities  testify  against  us,  work 
thou  for  thy  name's  sake,  O  Lord:  for  our  back- 
slidings  are   many;  we  have   sinned   against   thee. 

80  thou  hope  of  Is'ra-el,  the  saviour  thereof  in  the 
time  of  trouble,  why  shouldest  thou  be  as  a 
sojourner  in  the  land,  and  as  a  wayfaring  man  that 

9 'turneth  aside  to  tarry  for  a  night?  Why  shouldest 
thou  be  as  a  man  astonied,  as  a  mighty  man  that 
can  not  save?  yet  thou,  O  Lord,  art  in  the  midst  of 
us,  and  we  are  called  by  thy  name ;  leave  us  not. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  this  people.  Even  so 
have  they  loved  to  wander ;  they  have  not  refrained 
their  feet:  therefore  the  Lord  doth  not  accept 
them ;  now  will   he   remember   their  iniquity,   and 

11  visit  their  sins.     And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Pray 

12  not    for  this   people    for  their   good.     When    they 
fast,  I  will  not  hear  their  cry ;  and  when  they  offer 
burnt  offering  and  'oblation,  I  will  not  accept  them 
but  I  will  consume  them  by  the  sword,  and  by  the 

13  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence.  Then  said  I,  Ah, 
Lord  God!  behold,  tne  prophets  say  unto  them. 
Ye  shall  not  see  the  sword,  neither  shall  ye  have 
&mine ;  but  I  will  give  you  'assured  peace  in  this 

14  place.  Then  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  The  prophets 
prophesy  lies  in  my  name :  I  sent  them  not,  neither 
have  I  commanded  them,  neither  spake  I  unto 
them :  they  prophesy  unto  you  a  lying  vision,  and 
divination,  and  a  thing  of  nought,  and  the  deceit  of 

15  their  own  heart.  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  the  prophets  that  prophesy  in  my  name, 
and  I  sent  them  not,  yet  they  say,  Sword  and 
famine  shall  not  be  in  this   land :    By  sword  and 

16  famine  shall  those  prophets  be  consumed.  And 
the  people  to  whom  they  prophesy  shall  be  cast  out 
in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  because  of  the  famine 
and  the  sword ;  and  they  shall  have  none  to  bury 
them,  them,  their  wives,  nor  their  sons,  nor  their 
daughters:  for  I  will  pour  their  wickedness  upon 

17  them.  And  thou  shalt  say  this  word  unto  them. 
Let  mine  eyes  run  down  with  tears  night  and  day, 
and  let  them  not  cease ;  for  the  virgin  daughter 
of  my  people  is  broken  with  a  great  breach,  with  a 

18  very  grievous  wound.  If  I  go  forth  into  the  field, 
then  behold  the  slain  with  the  sword!  and  if  I 
enter  into  the  city,  then  behold  *them  that  are  sick 
with  famine !  for  both  the  prophet  and  the  priest  "go 
about  '"in  the  land  and  have  no  knowledge. 

19  Hast  thou  utterly  rejected  Ju'dah?  hath  thy  soul 
loathed  Zi'on  ?  why  hast  thou  smitten  us,  and  there 
is  no  healing  for  us?  We  looked  for  peace,  but  no 
good  came ;  and  for  a  time  of  healing,  and  behold 

20  dismay!  We  "acknowledge,©  Lord,  our  wicked- 
ness, and  the  inquity  of  our  fathers :    for  we  have 

21  sinned  against  thee.  Do  not  '^abhor  its,  for  thy

can  cause  rain?  or  can  the  heavens  give  showers?  'Art  not 
thou  he,  O  Lord  our  God?  therefore  we  will  wait  upon 
thee :  for  thou  hast  made  all  these  things. 
CHAPTER    XV. 

The  utter  rejection  and  manifold  Judgments  of  the  Jews. 

THEN   said    the    Lord   unto  me,  "Though  'Mo'ses  and 
"Sam'u-el  stood  before  me,  yet  my  mind  could  not  be  toward 
this  people  :  cast  them  out  of  my  sight,  and  let  them  go  forth. 

2  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  they  say  unto  thee.  Whither 
shall  we  go  forth  ?  then  thou  shalt  tell  them,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord;  ''Such  as  are  for  death,  to  death;  and  such  as 
are  for  the  sword,  to  the  sword ;  and  such  as  are  for  the 
famine,  to  the  famine ;  and  such  as  are  for  the  captivity,  to 
the  captivity. 

3  And  I  will  "appoint  over  them  four  fkinds,  saith  the 
Lord:  the  sword  to  slay,  and  the  dogs  to  tear,  and  ■'^the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  the  beasts  of  the  earth,  to  devour 
and  destroy. 

4  And  fl  will  cause  them  to  be  'removed  into  all  king- 
doms of  the  earth,  because  of  *Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  for  that  which  he  did  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  For  'who  shall  have  pity  upon  thee,  O  Je-ru'sa-lem  ?  or 
who  shall  bemoan  thee?  or  who  shall  go  aside  fto  ask  how 
thou  doest? 

6  *Thou  hast  forsaken  me,  saith  the  Lord,  thou  art  'gone 
backward:  therefore  will  I  stretch  out  my  hand  against 
thee,  and  destroy  thee ;  "I  am  weary  with  repenting. 

7  And  I  will  fan  them  with  a  fan  in  the  gates  of  the  land ; 
I  will  bereave  them  of  ||  children,  I  will  destroy  my  people, 
since  "they  return  not  from  their  ways. 

8  Their  widows  are  increased  to  me  above  the  sand  of  the 
seas:  I  have  brought  upon  them  Ha^inst  the  mother  of 
the  young  men  a  spoiler  at  noonday ;  I  have  caused  him  to 
fall  upon  it  suddenly,  and  terrors  upon  the  city. 

9  "She  that  hath  borne  seven  languisheth :  she  hath  given 
up  the  ghost ;  ''her  sun  is  gone  down  while  it  was  yet  day : 
she  hath  been  ashamed  and  confounded:  and  the  residue 
of  them  will  I  deliver  to  the  sword  before  their  enemies, 
saith  the  Lord. 

10  ^'Woe  is  me,  my  mother,  that  thou  hast  borne  me  a 
man  of  strife  and  a  man  of  contention  to  the  whole  earth ! 
I  have  neither  lent  on  usury,  nor  men  have  lent  to  me  on 
usury ;  yet  every  one  of  them  doth  curse  me. 

11  The  Lord  said,  Verily  it  shall  be  well  with  thy  rem- 
nant; verily  ||I  will  cause  ""the  enemy  to  entreat  thee  well 
in  the  time  of  evil  and  in  the  time  of  affliction. 

12  Shall  iron  break  the  northern  iron  and  the  steel? 

13  Thy  substance  and  thy  treasures  will  I  give  to  the 
•spoil  without  price,  and  that  for  all  thy  sins,  even  in  all  thy 
borders. 

14  And  I  will  make  thee  to  pass  with  thine  enemies  'into 
a  land  which  thou  knowest  not:  for  a  "fire  is  kindled  in 
mine  anger,  which  shall  burn  upon  you. 

15  ^O  Lord,  *thou  knowest:  remember  me,  and  visit  me, 
and  "revenge  me  of  my  persecutors ;  take  me  not  away  in 
thy  longsuffering :  know  that  'for  thy  sake  I  have  suffered 
rebuke. 

16  Thy  words  were  found,  and  I  did  "eat  them;  and  Hhy 
word  was  unto  me  the  joy  and  rejoicing  of  mine  heart :  for 
fl  am  called  by  thy  name,  O  Lord  God  of  hosts. 

17  "I  sat  not  in  the  assembly  of  the  mockers,  nor  rejoiced; 
I  sat  alone  because  of  thy  hand :  for  thou  hast  filled  me 
with  indignation. 

18  Why  is  my  ''pain  perpetual,  and  my  wound  incurable, 
which  refuseth  to  be  healed?  wilt  thou  be  altogether  unto 
me  'as  a  liar,  and  ^as  waters  that  ffail? 

19  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  'If  thou  return 
then  will  I  bring  thee  again,  a%d  thou  shalt  'stand  before 


22  Are  there  any  among  the  vanities  of  the  heathen  that 
can  cau.se  rain?  or  can  the  heavens  give  showers? 
art  not  thou  he,  O  Lord  our  God  ?  therefore  we  will 
wait  upon  thee ;  for  thou  hast  'made  all  these  things. 

-lO  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me.  Though  Mo'ses  and 
Sam'u-el  stood  before  me,  yet  my  mind  could  not  be 
toward  this  people :  cast  them  out  of  my  sight,  and 
2  let  them  go  fortn.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  when 
they  say  unto  thee.  Whither  shall  we  go  forth  ?  then 
thou  shalt  tell  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  Such  as 
are  for  death,  to  death ;  and  such  as  are  for  the 
sword,  to  the  sword;  and  such  as  are  for  the  famine, 
to  the  famine ;  and  such  as  are  for  captivity,  to  cap- 
Stivity.  And  I  will  appoint  over  them  four  ^kincls, 
saith  the  Lord  :  the  sword  to  slay,  and  the  dogs  to 
Hear,  and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  the  beasts  of 

4  the  earth,  to  devour  and  to  destroy.  And  I  will  cause 
them  to  be  tossed  to  and  fro  among  all  the  kingdoms 
of  the  earth,  because  of  Ma-nas'seh  the  son  of  Hez-e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  for  that  which  he  did  in  Je-ru'- 

5  sa-lem.  For  who  shall  have  pity  upon  thee,  O  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem? or  who  shall  bemoan  thee?  or  who  shall  turn 

6  aside  to  ask  of  thy  welfare  ?  Thou  hast  rejected  me, 
saith  the  Lord,  thou  art  gone  backward :  therefore 
have  I  stretched  out  my  hand  against  thee,  and  de- 

7stroyed  thee;  I  am  weary  with  repenting.  And  I 
have  fanned  them  with  a  fan  in  the  gates  of  the  land  ; 
I  have  bereaved  them  of  children,  I  have  destroyed 
my  people ;  they  have  not  returned  from  their  ways. 

8  Their  widows  are  increased  to  me  above  the  sand  of 
the  seas;  I  have  brought  upon  them  ^against  the 
mother  of  the  young  men  a  spoiler  at  noonday 
have  caused  anguish  and  terrors  to   fell   upon   her 

9 suddenly.  She  that  hath  borne  seven  languisheth; 
she  hath  given  up  the  ghost;  her  sun  is  gone  down 
while  it  was  yet  day;  she  hath  been  ashamed  and 
confounded :  and  the  residue  of  them  will  I  deliver 
to  the  sword  before  their  enemies,  saith  the  Lord, 

10  Woe  is  me,  my  mother,  that  thou  hast  borne 
me  a  man  of  strife  and  a  man  of  contention 
to  the  whole  earth !  I  have  not  lent  on  usury, 
neither  have  men  lent  to  me  on  usury ;  yet  every  one 

11  of  them  doth  curse  me.  The  Lord  said.  Verily  'I 
will  'strengthen  thee  for  good;  verily  'I  will  cause 
the  enemy  to  make  supplication  unto  thee  in  the 
time  of  evil  and  in  the  time  of  affliction. 

12  'Can  one  break  iron,  even  iron  from  the  north,  and 

13  brass?  Thy  substance  and  thy  treasures  will  I  give 
for  a  spoil  without  price,  and  that  for   all  thy  sins, 

14  even  in  all  thy  borders.  And  'I  will  make  them  to 
pass  with  thine  enemies  into  a  land  which  thou 
knowest  not;  for  a  fire  is  kindled  in  mine  anger, 
which  shall  burn  upon  you. 

15  O  Lord,  thou  knowest:  remember  me,  and  visit 
me,  and  avenge  me  of  my  persecutors;  take  me 
not  away  in  thy  longsuffering:    know  that  for  thy 

16  sake  I  have  suffered  reproach.  Thy  words  were 
found,  and  I  did  eat  them;  and  thy  words  were 
unto  me  a  joy  and  the  rejoicing  of  mine  heart :    for 

171  am  called  by  thy  name,  O  Lord  God  of  hosts.  I 
sat  not  in  the  assembly  of  them  that  make  merry, 
nor  rejoiced :    1  sat  alone  because  of  thy  hand ;    for 

18  thou  hast  filled  me  with  indignation.  Why  is  my 
pain  perpetual,  and  my  wound  incurable,  which 
refuseth  to  be  healed?  wilt  thou  indeed  be  unto  me 
as  a  deceitful  brook,  as  waters  that  '"fail? 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  If  thou  return,  then 
will  I  bring  thee  again,  that  thou  mayest  stand  before

shalt  be  as  my  mouth ;  let  them  return  unto  thee ;  but  re- 
turn not  thou  unto  them. 

20  And  I  will  make  thee  unto  this  people  a  fenced  brazen 
*\vall :  and  they  shall  fight  against  thee,  but  'they  shall  not 
prevail  against  thee :  for  I  am  with  thee  to  save  thee  and 
to  deliver  thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  And  I  will  deliver  thee  out  of  the  hand  of  the  wicked, 
and  I  will  redeem  thee  out  of  the  hand  of  the  terrible. 

CHAPTER    XVI. 

The  prophet  foreshewetk  the  utter  ruin  of  the  Jews. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came  also  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Thou  shalt  not  take  thee  a  wife,  neither  shalt  thou 
have  sons  nor  daughters  in  this  place. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning  the  sons  and  con- 
cerning the  daughters  that  are  born  in  this  place,  and  con- 
cerning their  mothers  that  bare  them,  and  concerning  their 
fathers  that  begat  them  in  this  land: 

4  They  shall  die  of  "grievous  deaths;  they  shall  not  be 
■■lamented ;  neither  shall  they  be  buried ;  hut  they  shall  be 
"as  dung  upon  the  face  of  the  earth :  and  they  shall  be  con- 
sumed by  the  sword,  and  by  famine;  and  their  ''carcasses 
shall  be  meat  for  the  fowls  of  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of 
the  earth. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  'Enter  not  into  the  house  of 
II  mourning,  neither  go  to  lament  nor  bemoan  them:  for  I 
have  taken  away  my  peace  from  this  people,  saith  the  Lord, 
tvea  lovingkindness  and  mercies. 

6  Both  the  great  and  the  small  shall  die  in  this  land: 
they  shall  not  be  buried,  •'neither  shall  mew  lament  for  them, 
nor  "cut  themselves,  nor  *make  themselves  bald  for  them : 

7  Neither  shall  men  ||  tear  themselves  for  them  in  mourn- 
ing, to  comfort  them  for  the  dead:  neither  shall  men  give 
them  the  cup  of  consolation  to  'drink  for  their  fpther  or  for 
their  mother. 

8  Thou  shalt  not  also  go  into  the  house  of  feassting,  to  sit 
with  them  to  eat  and  to  drink. 

9  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el : 
Behold,  *I  will  cause  to  cease  out  of  this  place  in  your 
eyes,  and  in  your  days,  the  voice  of  mirth,  and  the  voice  of 
gladness,  the  voice  of  the  bridegroom,  and  the  voice  of  the 
bride. 

10  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pa-ss,  when  thou  shalt  shew  this 
people  all  these  words,  and  they  shall  say  unto  thee,  'Where- 
fore hath  the  Lord  pronounced  all  this  great  evil  against  us? 
or  what  is  our  iniquity?  or  what  is  our  sin  that  we  have 
committed  against  tne  Lord  our  God  ? 

11  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto  them,  "Because  your  fathers 
have  forsaken  me,  saith  the  Lord,  and  have  walked  after 
other  gods,  and  have  served  them,  and  have  worshipped 
them,  and  have  forsaken  me,  and  have  not  kept  my  law ; 

12  And  ye  have  done  "worse  than  your  fathers;  for,  be- 
hold, °ye  walk  every  one  after  the  ||  imagination  of  his  «vil 
heart,  that  they  may  not  hearken  unto  me : 

13  "Therefore  will  I  cast  you  out  of  this  land  "into  a  land 
that  ye  know  not,  neither  ye  nor  your  fathers;  and  there 
shall  ye  serve  other  gods  day  and  night ;  where  I  will  not 
shew  you  favour. 

14  ^Therefore,  behold,  the  'days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
it  shall  no  more  be  said.  The  Lord  liveth,  that  brought  up 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 

15  But,  The  Lord  liveth,  that  brought  up  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  from  the  land  of  the  north,  and  from  all  the  lands 
whither  he  had  driven  them :  and  'I  will  bring  them  again 
into  their  land  that  I  gave  unto  their  ftithers. 

16  ^Behold,  I  will  send  for  many  'fishers,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  they  shall  fish  them ;  and  after  will  I  send  for  many 
hunters,  and  they  shall  hunt  them  from  every  mountain, 
«Bd  from  every  hill,  &nd  Out  of  the  boles   of  the  rocks. 


me ;  and  if  thou  take  forth  the  precious  from  the  vile, 
thou  shalt  be  as  my  mouth :  they  shall  return  unto 

20  thee,  but  thou  shalt  not  return  unto  them.  And  1 
will  make  thee  unto  this  people  a  fenced  brasen  wall ; 
and  they  shall  fight  against  thee,  but  they  shall  not 
prevail  against  thee :  for  I  am  with  thee  to  save  thee 

21  and  to  deliver  thee,  saith  the  Lord.  And  I  will  de- 
liver thee  out  of  the  hand  of  the  wicked,  and  I  will 
redeem  thee  out  of  the  hand  of  the  terrible. 

J-0  The  word  of  the  Lord  came  also  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Thou  shalt  not  take  thee  a  wife,  neither  shalt  thou 

3  have  sons  or  daughters  in  this  place.  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord  concerning  the  sons  and  concerning  the 
daughters  that  are  born  in  this  place,  and  concerning 
their  mothers  that  bare  them,  and  concerning  their 

4  fathers  that  begat  them  in  this  land :  They  shall  die 
'of  grievous  deaths;  they  shall  not  be  lamented, 
neither  shall  they  be  buried;  they  shall  be  as  dung 
upon  the  face  of  the  ground :  and  they  shall  be  con- 
sumed by  the  sword,  and  by  famine ;  and  their  car 
cases  shall  be  meat  for  the  fowls  of  heaven,  and  for  the 

5  beasts  of  the  earth.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Enter 
not  into  the  house  of  mourning,  neither  go  to  lament, 
neither  bemoan  them :  for  I  have  taken  away  my 
peace  from  this  people,  saith  the  Lord,  even  loving- 

6  kindness  and  tender  mercies.  Both  great  and 
small  shall  die  in  this  land :  they  shall  not  be  buried, 
neither  shall   men   lament  for  them,  nor  cut  them- 

7  selves,  nor  make  themselves  bald  for  them :  neither 
shall  men  ^break  bread  for  them  in  mourning,  to 
comfort  them  for  the  dead ;  neither  shall  men  give 
them  the  cup  of  consolation  to  drink  for  their  father 

8  or  for  their  mother.  And  thou  shalt  not  go  into 
the  house  of  feasting  to  sit  with  them,  to  eat  and  to 

9  drink.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el :  Behold,  I  will  cause  to  cease  out  of  this 
place,  before  your  eyes  and  in  your  days,  the  voice 
of  mirth,  and  the  voice  of  gladne&s,  the  voice  of  the 

10  bridegroom  and  the  voice  of  the  bride.  And  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  when  thou  shalt  shew  this  people 
all  these  woitls,  and  they  shall  say  unto  thee, 
Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  pronounced  all  this  great 
evil  against  us?  or  what  is  our  iniquity?  or  what 
is  our  sin  that  we  have  committed  against  the  Lord 

Hour  God?  then  shalt  thou  say  unto  them,  Because 
your  fathers  have  forsaken  me,  saith  the  Lord,  and 
nave  walked  after  other  gods,  and  have  served  them, 
and  have  worshipped  them,  and  have  forsaken  me, 

12and  have  not  kept  my  law;  and  ye  have  done  evil 
more  than  your  fathers;  for,  behold,  ye  walk  every 
one  aft«r  the  stubbornness-  of  his  evil  heart,  so  that 

13 ye  hearken  not  unto  me:  therefore  will  I  cast  you 
forth  out  of  this  land  into  the  land  that  ye  have 
not  known,  neither  ye  nor  your  fathers;  and  there 
shall  ye  serve  other  gods  day  and  night;  for  I  Avill 
shew  you  no  favour. 

14  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  it  shall  no  more  be  said.  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
that  brought  up  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the 

15  land  of  E'gypt ;  but,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  that  brought 
up  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  from  the  land  of  the  north, 
and  from  all  the  countries  whither  he  had  driven 
them:  and  I  will  bring  them  a^in  into  their  land 

16  that  I  gave  unto  their  fathers.  Behold,  I  will  send 
for  many  fishers,  saith  the  Lord,  and  they  shall  fish 
them ;  and  afterward  I  will  send  for  many  hunters, 
and  they  diall  hunt  them  from  every  mountain,  and 
from  every  hill,  and  out  of  the  holes  of  the  rocks.

17  For  mine  "eyes  are  upon  all  their  ways :  they  are  not  hid 
from  my  &ce,  neither  is  their  iniquity  hid  from  mine  eyes. 

18  And  first  I  will  recompense  their  iniquity  and  their  sin 
'double;  because  "they  have  defiled  my  land,  they  have 
filled  mine  inheritance  with  the  carcasses  of  their  detest- 
able and  abominable  things. 

19  O  Lord,  "my  strength  and  my  fortress,  and  "my  refuge 
in  the  day  of  affliction,  the  Gentiles  shall  come  unto  thee  from 
the  ends  of  the  earth,  and  shall  say,  Surely  our  fathers  have 
inherited  lies,  vanity,  and  things  'wherein  there  is  no  profit. 

20  Shall  a  man  make  gods  unto  himself,  and  "they  are 
no  gods? 

21  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  this  once  cause  them  to  know, 
I  will  cause  them  to  know  mine  hand  and  my  might ;  and 
they  shall  know  that  ''my  name  is  ||the  LoED. 

CHAPTER   XVII. 

The  captivity  of  Jtidah  /or  her  sin — Trust  in  God  is  blessed. 

THE   sin   of  Ju'dah  is  written  with  a  "pen  of  iron,  and 
with  the  tpoint  of  a  diamond :  it  is  ''graven  upon  the  table 
of  their  heart,  and  upon  the  horns  of  your  altars ; 

2  Whilst  their  children  remember  their  altars  and  their 
'■groves  by  the  green  trees  upon  the  high  hills. 

3  O  my  mountain  in  the  field,  ''I  will  give  thy  substance 
and  all  thy  treasures  to  the  spoil,  and  thy  high  places  for 
sin,  throughout  all  thy  borders. 

4  And  thou,  even  fttyself,  sbalt  discontinue  from  thine 
heritage  that  I  gave  thee ;  and  I  will  cause  thee  to  serve 
thine  enemies  in  'the  land  which  thou  knowest  not :  for  •'ye 
have  kindled  a  fire  in  mine  anger,  which  shall  burn  for  ever. 

5  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  "Cursed  be  the  man  that  trust- 
eth  in  man,  and  maketh  *flesh  his  arm,  and  whose  heart 
departeth  from  the  Lord. 

6  For  he  shall  be  'like  the  heath  in  the  desert,  and  *shall 
not  see  when  good  cometh ;  but  shall  inhabit  the  parched 
places  in  the  wilderness,  'in  a  salt  land  and  not  inhabited. 

7  ""Blessed  is  the  man  that  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  and 
whose  hope  the  Lord  is. 

8  For  he  shall  be  "as  a  tree  planted  by  the  waters,  and  thai 
spreadeth  out  her  roots  by  the  river,  and  shall  not  see  when 
heat  cometh,  but  her  leaf  shall  be  green ;  and  shall  not 
be  careful  in  the  year  of  ||  drought,  neither  shall  cease  from 
yielding  fruit. 

9  l[The  heart  is  deceitful  above  all  things,  and  desper- 
ately wicked:  who  can  know  it? 

10  I  the  Lord  "search  the  heart,  I  try  the  reins,  "even  to 
give  every  man  according  to  his  ways,  and  according  to 
the  fruit  of  his  doings. 

11  As  the  partridge  Hsitteth  on  eggs  and  hatch  eth  them 
not;  so  he  that  getteth  riches,  and  not  by  right,  'shall  leave 
them  in  the  midst  of  his  days,  and  at  his  end  shall  be  'a  fool. 

12  ^A.  glorious  high  throne  from  the  beginning  is  the 
place  of  our  sanctuary. 

13  O  Lord,  'the  hope  of  Is'ra-el,  'all  that  forsake  thee 
shall  be  ashamed,  a7id  they  that  depart  from  me  shall  be 
"written  in  the  earth,  because  they  have  forsaken  the  Lord, 
the  'fountain  of  living  waters. 

14  Heal  me,  O  Lord,  and  I  shall  be  healed;  save  me, 
and  I  shall  be  saved :  for  "thou  art  my  praise. 

15  ^Behold,  they  say  unto  me,  'Where  is  the  word  of 
the  Lord?  let  it  come  now. 

16  As  for  me,  "I  have  not  hastened  from  being  a  pastor  fto 
follow  thee :  neither  have  I  desired  the  woful  day ;  thou 
knowest :  thatjwhich  came  out  of  my  lips  was  right  before  thee. 

17  Be  not  a  terror  unto  me:  ''thou  art  my  hope  in  the 
day  of  evil. 

18  ""Let  them  be  confoundea  that  persecute  me,  but  ''let 
not  me  be  confounded  :  let  them  be  dismayed,  but  let  not  me 
be  dismayed :  bring  upon  them  the  day  of  evil,  and  f'destroy 
them  with  double  destruction. 


17  For  mine  eyes  are  upon  all  their  ways:  they  are 
not  hid  from  my  face,  neither  is  their  iniquity  con- 

18  cealed  from  mine  eyes.  And  first  I  will  recompense 
their  iniquity  and  their  sin  double;  'because  they 
have  polluted  my  land  with  the  carcases  of  their 
detestable  things,  and  have  filled  mine  inheritance 

19  with  their  abominations.  O  Lord,  my  strength, 
and  my  strong  hold,  and  my  refuge  in  the  day  of 
affliction,  unto  thee  shall  the  nations  come  from  the 
ends  of  the  earth,  and  shall  say.  Our  fathers  have 
Inherited  nought   but    lies,  even  vanity  and  things 

20  wherein  there  is  no  profit.     Shall  a  man  make  unto 

21  himself  gods,  which  yet  are  no  gods?  Therefore, 
behold,  I  will  cause  them  to  know,  this  once  will  I 
cause  them  to  know  mine  hand  and  my  might ;  and 
they  shall  know  that  my  name  is  Jehovah. 

i^*      The  sin  of  Ju'dah  is  written  with  a  pen  of  iron, 

and  with  the  point  of  a  diamond  :  it  is  graven  upon 

the    table    of  their   heart,  and    upon  the  horns  of 

22your  altars;  whilst  their  children  remember  their 

altars  and  their  'Ash'er-im  by  the  green  trees  upon 

3  the  high  hills.  O  my  mountain  in  the  field,  I  will 
give  thy  substance  and  all  thy  treasures  for  a  spoil, 
and  thy  high   places,  because  of  sin,  throughout  all 

4  thy  borders.  And  thou,  even  of  thyself,  shalt  dis- 
continue from  thine  heritage  that  I  gave  thee;  and 
I  will  cause  thee  to  serve  thine  enemies  in  the  land 
which  thou  knowest  not :  for  ye  have  kindled  a  fire 
in  mine  anger  which  shall  burn  for  ever. 

5  Thus  saith  the  LoRD:  Cursed  is  the  man  that 
trusteth  in    man,  and   maketh   flesh    his  arm,  and 

6  whose  heart  departeth  from  the  Lord.  For  he 
shall  be  like  Hhe  heath  in  the  desert,  and  shall  not 
see  when  good  cometh;  but  shall  inhabit  the 
parched  places  in  the  wilderness,  a  salt  land  and  not 

7  inhabited.     Blessed  is  the  man  that  trusteth  in  the 

8  Lord,  and  whose  '^hope  the  Lord  is.  For  he  shall 
be  as  a  tree  planted  by  the  waters,  and  that  spreadeth 
out  his  roots  by  the  river,  and  shall  not  *fear  when 
heat  cometh,  but  his  leaf  shall  be  green ;  and  shall 
not  be  careful  in  the  year  of  drought,  neither  shall 

9  cease  from  yielding  fruit.  The  heart  is  deceitful 
above  all    things,   and  it  is  desperately  sick :    who 

10 can  know  it?  I  the  Lord  search  the  heart,  I  try 
the  reins,  even  to  give  every  man  according  to  his 

11  ways,  according  to  the  fruit  of  his  doings.  As  the 
partridge  'that  gathereth  young  which  she  hath  not 
brought  forth,  so  is  he  that  getteth  riches,  and  not 
by  right ;  in  the  midst  of  his  days  *they  shall  leave 
him,  and  at  his  end  he  shall  be  a  fool. 

12  A  glorious  throne,  set  on  high  from  the  begin- 
ISning,  is  the  place  of  our  sanctuary.     O  Lord,  the 

hope  of  Is'ra-el,  all  that  forsake  thee  shall  be 
ashamed ;  they  that  depart  from  me  shall  be  written 
in  the  earth,  because  they  have  forsaken  the  Lord, 

14  the  fountain  of  living  waters.  Heal  me,  O  Lord, 
and  I  shall  be  healed ;  save  me,  and  I  shall  be  saved: 

15  for  thou  art  my  praise.  Behold,  they  say  unto  me, 
AVhere  is  the  word  of  the  Lord  ?  let  it  come  now. 

16  As  for  me,  I  have  not  hastened  from  being  a  shepherd 
after  thee;  neither  have  I  desired  'the  woeful  day; 
thou  knowest :  that  which  came  out  of  my  lips  was 

1 7  before  thy  face.     Be  not  a  terror  unto  me :  thou  art 

18  my  refuge  in  the  day  of  evil.  Let  them  be 
ashamed  that  persecute  me,  but  let  not  me  be 
ashamed;  let  them  be  dismayed,  but  let  not  me  be 
dismayed:  bring  upon  them  the  day  of  evil,  and 
'"destroy  them  with  double  destruction.

Ju'dah  come  in,  and  by  the  which  they  go  out,  and  in  all 
the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-Iem  ; 

20  And  say  unto  them,  ■'^ Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
ye  kings  of  Ju'dah,  and  all  Ju'dah,  and  all  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  enter  in  by  these  gates : 

21  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  "Take  heed  to  yourselves,  and 
bear  no  burden  on  the  sabbath  day,  nor  bring  U  in  by  the 
gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 

22  Neither  carry  forth  a  burden  out  of  your  houses  on 
the  sabbath  day,  neither  do  ye  any  work,  but  hallow  ye  the 
sabbath  day,  as  I  *commanded  your  fathers. 

23  'But  they  obeyed  not,  neither  inclined  their  ear,  but 
made  their  neck  stiff,  that  they  might  not  hear,  nor  receive 
instruction. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  ye  diligently  hearken 
unto  me,  saith  the  Lord,  to  bring  in  no  burden  through 
the  gates  of  this  city  on  the  sabbath  day,  but  hallow  the 
sabbath  day,  to  do  no  work  therein; 

25  *Then  shall  there  enterinto  the  gates  of  this  city  kings  and 
princes  sitting  upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid,  riding  in  chariots 
and  on  horses,  they ,  and  their  princes,  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  this  city  shall  remain  for  ever. 

26  And  they  shall  come  from  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and 
from  'the  places  about  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  from  the  land  of 
Ben'ja-min,  and  from  ""the  plain,  and  from  the  mountains,  and 
from  "the  south,  bringing  burnt  offerings,  and  sacrifices, 
and  meat  offerings,  and  incense,  and  bringing  "sacrifices  of 
praise,  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

27  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  me  to  hallow  the 
sabbath  day,  and  not  to  bear  a  burden,  even  entering  in  at 
the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  on  the  sabbath  day ;  then  "will  I 
kindle  a  fire  in  the  gates  thereof,  'and  it  shall  devour  the 
palaces  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  it  shall  not  be  quenched. 

CHAPTER    XVIII. 

Under  the  type  of  a  potter  it  shewed  God's  absolute  power. 

THE  word  which  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  saying, 
2  Arise,  and  go  down  to  the  potter's  house,  and  there  I 
will  cause  thee  to  hear  my  words. 

3  Then  I  went  down  to  the  potter's  house,  and,  behold, 
he  wrought  a  work  on  the  |!  wheels. 

4  And  the  vessel  ||that  he  made  of  clay  was  marred  in 
the  hand  of  the  potter:  so  he  fmade  it  again  another 
vessel,  as  seemed  good  to  the  potter  to  make  it. 

5  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

6  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  "cannot  I  do  with  you  as  this  potter? 
saith  the  Lord.  Behold,  'as  the  clay  is  in  the  potter's  hand, 
so  are  ye  in  mine  hand,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  At  what  instant  I  shall  speak  concerning  a  nation,  and 
concerning  a  kingdom,  to  "pluck  up,  and  to  pull  down,  and 
to  destroy  it  : 

8  ''If  that  nation,  against  whom  I  have  pronounced,  turn  from 
their  evil,'I  will  repent  of  the  evil  that  I  thought  to  do  unto  them. 

9  And  at  what  instant  I  shall  speak,  concerning  a  nation, 
and  concerning  a  kingdom,  to  build  and  to  plant  it: 

10  If  it  do  evil  in  my  sight,  that  it  obey  not  my  voice,  then  I 
will  repent  of  the  good,  wherewith  I  said  I  would  benefit  them. 

11  xNow  therefore  go  to,  speak  to  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and 
to  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Behold,  I  frame  evil  against  you,  and  devise  a 
device  against  you ;  ■'return  ye  now  every  one  from  his  evil 
way,  and  make  your  ways  and  your  doings  good. 

12  And  they  said,  "There  is  no  hope :  but  we  will  walk 
after  our  own  devices,  and  we  will  every  one  do  the  imag- 
ination of  his  evil  heart. 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  *Ask  ye  now  among 
the  heathen,  who  hath  heard  such  things:  the  virgin  of 
Is'ra-ei  hatk  done  'a  very  horrible  thing.

19  Thus  .said  the  Lord  unto  me :  Go,  and  stand  in 
the  gate  of  'the  children  of  the  people,  whereby  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah  come  in,  and  by  the  which  they  go 

20  out,  and  in  all  the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  say  unto 
them.  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  kings  of 
Ju'dah,  and  all  Ju'dah,  and  all  the   inhabitants  of 

21  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  enter  in  by  these  gates ;  thus  saith 
the  Lord:  Take  heed  ^to  yourselves,  and  bear  no 
burden  on  the  sabbath  day,  nor  bring  it  in  by  the 

22  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem :  neither  carry  forth  a  burden 
out  of  your  houses  on  the  sabbath  day,  neither  do 
ye  any  work :    but  hallow  ye  the  sabbath  day,  as  I 

23 commanded  your  fathers;  but  they  hearkened  not, 
neither  inclined  their  ear,  but  made  their  neck  stiff, 
that  they  might   not  hear,  and   might  not  receive 

24  instruction.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  ye  dili- 
gently hearken  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord,  to  bring  in 
no  burden  through  the  gates  of  this  city  on  the  sab- 
bath day,  but  to  hallow  the  sabbath  day,  to  do  no 

25  work  therein ;  then  shall  there  enter  in  by  the  gates  of 
this  city  kings  and  princes  sitting  upon  the  throne  of 
Da'vid,  riding  in  chariots  and  on  horses,  they,  and  their 
priuces,the  men  of  Ju'dah  ,and  the  inhabitantsofJe-ru'- 

26  sa-lem  :  and  this  city  shall  'remain  for  ever.  And  they 
shall  come  from  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  from  the  places 
roundabout  Jerusalem,and  from  the  landof  Ben'ja-min, 
and  from  the  lowland,  and  from  the  mountains,  and 
from  the  South,bringingburntofferings,andsacrifices, 
and  ^oblations,  and  frankincense,  and  bringing  sacri- 

21  fices  q/"  thanksgiving,  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord.  But 
if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  me  to  hallow  the  sabbath 
day,  and  not  to  bear  a  burden  and  enter  in  at  the  gates 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem  on  the  sabbath  day ;  then  will  I  kindle 
afire  in  the  gates  thereof.and  it  shall  devour  the  palace 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  it  shall  not  be  quenched. 

-1-0     The  word  which  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the 

2  Lord,  saying.  Arise,  and  go  down  to  the  potter's 
house,  and  there  I  will  cause  thee  to  hear  my  words. 

3  Then  I  went  down  to  the  potter's  house,  and,  behold, 

4  he  wrought  his  work  on  the  wheels.  And  when  the 
vessel  that  he  made  of  the  clay  was  marred  in  the 
hand  of  the  potter,  he  made  it  again  another  vessel, 
as  seemed  good  to  the  potter  to  make  it. 

5  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

6  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  cannot  I  do  with  you  as  this 
potter?  saitfi  the  Lord.  Behold,  as  the  clay  in  the 
potter's  hand,  so   are  ye    in   mine    hand,   O   house 

7  of  Is'ra-el.  At  what  instant  I  shall  speak  concern- 
ing a  nation,  and  concerning  a  kingdom,  to  pluck 

8  up  and  to  break  down  and  to  destroy  it ;  if 
that  nation,  concerning  which  I  have  spoken,  turn 
from  their  evil,  I  will  repent  of  the  evil  that  I  thought 

9  to  do  unto  them.  And  at  what  instant  I  shall  speak 
concerning  a  nation,  and  concerning  a  kingdom,  to 

10 build  and  to  plant  it;  if  it  do  evil  in  my  sight,  that 
it  obey  not  my  voice,  then  I  will  repent  of  the  good, 

11  wherewith  I  said  I  would  benefit  them.  Now  there- 
fore go  to,  speak  to  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  to  the 
inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  :  Behold,  I  frame  evil  against  you,  and  devise 
a  device  against  you :  return  ye  now  every  one  from 
his  evil  way,  and  amend  your  ways  and  your  do- 

12ings.  But  they  say.  There  is  no  hope:  for  we  will 
walk  after  our  own  devices,  and  we  will  do  every 
one  after  the  stubbornness  of  his  evil  heart. 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord:  Ask  ye  now 
among  the  nations  who  hath  heard  such  things ;  the 
virgin  of  Is'ra-el  hath  done  a  very  horrible  thing.  I

14  Will  a  man  leave  Ijthe  snow  of  Leb'a-non  which  eometh 
from  the  rock  of  the  field  ?  or  shall  the  cold  flowing  waters 
that  come  from  another  place  be  forsaken  ? 

15  Because  my  people  hath  forgotten  *me,  they  have 
burned  incense  to  'vanity,  and  they  have  caused  them  to 
stumble  in  their  ways  from  the  ""ancient  paths,  to  walk  in 
paths,  in  a  way  not  cast  up ; 

16  To  make  their  land  "desolate,  anc?  a  perpetual  "hissing ; 
every  one  that  passeth  thereby  shall  be  astonished,  and  wag 
his  head. 

17  ''I  will  scatter  them  'as  with  an  east  wind  before  the 
enemy ;  'I  will  shew  them  the  back,  and  not  the  face,  in  the 
day  of  their  calamity. 

18  ^Then  said  they,  'Come,  and  let  us  devise  devices 
against  Jer-e-mi'ah;  'for  the  law  shall  not  perish  from  the 
priest,  nor  counsel  from  the  wise,  nor  the  word  from  the 
prophet.  Come,  and  let  us  smite  him  ||with  the  tongue, 
and  let  us  not  give  heed  to  any  of  his  words. 

19  Give  heed  to  me,  O  Lord,  and  hearken  to  the  voice  of 
them  that  contend  with  me. 

20  "Shall  evil  be  recompensed  for  good?  for  'they  have 
diggedapit  for  my  soul.  Remember  that  I  stood  before  thee  to 
speak  good  for  them,  and  to  turn  away  thy  wrath  from  them. 

21  Therefore  "deliver  up  their  children  to  the  famine,  and 
tpour  out  their  blood  by  the  force  of  the  sword :  and  let 
their  wives  be  bereaved  of  their  children,  and  be  widows ; 
and  let  their  men  be  put  to  death;  let  their  young  men  be 
slain  by  the  sword  in  battle. 

22  Let  a  cry  be  heard  from  their  houses,  when  thou  shalt 
bring  a  troop  suddenly  upon  them :  for  'they  have  digged  a 
pit  to  take  me,  and  hid  snares  for  my  feet. 

23  Yet,  Lord,  thou  knowest  all  their  counsel  against  me 
fto  slay  me:  "forgive  not  their  iniquity,  neither  blot  out 
their  sin  from  thy  sight,  but  let  them  be  overthrown  before 
thee ;  deal  thus  with  them  in  the  time  of  thine  anger. 

CHAPTER  XIX. 

lyte  desolation  of  the  Jews  for  their  sins  foretold. 

THUS  saith  the   Lord,  Go  and  get  a  potter's  earthen 
bottle,  and  take  of  the  ancients  of  the  people,  and  of 
ihe  ancients  of  the  priests; 

2  And  go  forth  unto  "the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom, 
which  is  by  the  entry  of  fthe  east  gate,  and  proclaim  there 
the  words  that  I  shall  tell  thee : 

3  'And  say.  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  kings  of 
Ju'dah,  and  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem;  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon 
this  place,  the  which  whosoever  heareth,  his  ears  shall  "tingle. 

4  Because  they  ''have  forsaken  me,  and  have  estranged  this 
place,  and  have  burned  incense  in  it  unto  other  gods,  whom 
neither  they  nor  their  fathers  have  known,  nor  the  kings  of 
Ju'dah,  and  have  filled  this  place  with  'the  blood  of  innocents ; 

5  •'^They  have  built  also  the  high  places  of  Ba'al,toburn  their 
sons  with  fire  jor  burnt  offerings  unto  Ba'al,  "which  I  com- 
manded not,  nor  spake  it,  neither  came  it  into  my  mind : 

6  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  I^rd,  that 
this  place  shall  no  more  be  called  To'phet,  nor  ''The  valley 
of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  but  The  valley  of  slaughter. 

7  And  I  will  make  void  the  counsel  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  in  this  place;  'and  I  will  cause  them  to  fall  by  the 
sword  before  their  enemies,  and  by  the  hands  of  them  that 
seek  their  lives :  and  their  ^carcasses  will  I  give  to  be  meat 
for  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

8  And  I  will  make  this  city  'desolate,  and  a  hissing; 
every  one  that  passeth  thereby  shall  be  astonished  and  hiss, 
because  of  all  the  plagues  thereof. 

9  And  I  will  cause  them  to  eat  the  ""flesh  of  their  sons  and 
the  flesh  of  their  daughters,  and  they  shall  eat  every  one  the 
flesh  of  his  friend  in  the  siege  and  straitness  wherewith  their 
enemies,  and  they  that  seek  their  lives,  /shall  straiten  them. 


14  Shall  the  snow  of  Leb'a-non  fail  from  the  rock  of  the 
field?  or  shall  the  cold  waters  Hhat  flow  down  from 

15  afar  be  Mried  up?  For  my  people  hath  forgotten  me, 
they  have  burned  incense  to  vanity ;  and  they  have 
caused  them  to  stumble  in  their  ways,  in  the  ancient 

16  paths,  to  walk  in  bypaths,  in  a  way  not  cast  up ;  to  make 
their  land  an  astonishment,  and  a  perpetual  hissing; 
every  one  that  passeth  thereby  shall  be  astonished, 

17  and  shake  his  head.  I  will  scatter  them  as  with  an 
east  wind  before  the  enemy ;  I  will  Mook  upon  their 
back,  and  not  their  face,  in  the  day  of  their  calamity. 

18  Then  said  they,  Come  and  let  us  devise  devices 
against  Jer-e-rai'ah;  for  the  law  shall  not  perish  from  the 
priest,  nor  counsel  from  the  wise,  nor  the  word  from 
the  prophet.  Come,  and  let  us  smite  him  with  the 
tongue,  and  let  us  not  give  heed  to  any  of  his  words. 

19  Give  heed  to  me,  O  Lord,  and  hearken  to  the  voice 

20  of  them  that  contend  with  me.  Shall  evil  be  recom- 
pensed for  good  ?  for  they  have  digged  a  pit  for  my 
soul.  Remember  how  I  stood  before  thee  to  speak 
good  for  them,  to  turn  away   thy  fury   from  them. 

21  Therefore  deliver  up  their  children  to  the  famine,  and 
give  them  over  to  the  power  of  the  sword;  and  let  their 
wives  become  childless,  and  widows;  and  let  their 
men  be  slain  of  death,  and  their  young  men  smitten 

22  of  the  sword  in  battle.  Let  a  cry  be  heard  from  their 
houses,  when  thou  shalt  bring  a  troop  suddenly 
upon  them :  for  they  have  digged  a  pit  to  take  me, 

23  and  hid  snares  for  my  feet.  Yet,  Lord,  thou  know- 
est all  their  counsel  against  me  to  slay  me;  forgive 
not  their  iniquity,  neither  blot  out  their  sin  from  thy 
sight:  but  let  them  be  ^overthrown  before  thee; 
deal  thou  with  them  in  the  time  of  thine  anger. 

■l-v      Thus   said   the  Lord,  Go,  and   buy   p.  potter's 

earthen  bottle,  and  take  of  the  elders  of  the  people, 

2 and   of  the    elders    of  the    priests;    and    go    forth 

unto  the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  which  is  by 

the  entry  of  Hhe  gate  Har'sith,  and  proclaim  there 

3  the  words  that  I  shall  tell  thee :  and  say.  Hear  ye 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  kings  of  Ju'dah  and  inhabit- 
ants of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I  will  bring  evil  upon 
this   place,   the   which  whosoever   heareth,  his  ears 

4  shall  tingle.  Because  they  have  forsaken  me,  and 
have  estranged  this  place,  and  have  burned  incense 
in  it  unto  other  gods,  whom  they  knew  not,  they 
and  their  fathers  and  the  kings  of  Ju'dah ;  and  have 

5 filled  this  place  with  the  blood  of  innocents;  and 
have  built  the  high  places  of  Ba'al,  to  burn  their 
sons  in  the  fire  for  burnt  offerings  unto  Ba'al; 
which  I  commanded  not,  nor  spake  it,  neither  came 

6  it  into  my  ^mind :  therefore,  behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  this  place  shall  no  more  be 
called  To'pheth,  nor  The  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom, 

7  but  The  valley  of  Slaughter.  And  I  will  'make 
void  the  counsel  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  this 
place;  and  I  will  cause  them  to  fall  by  the  sword 
before  their  enemies,  and  by  the  hand  of  them  that 
seek  their  life:  and  their  carcases  will  I  give  to  be 
meat  for  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of 

8  the  earth.  And  I  will  make  this  city  an  astonish- 
ment, and  an  hissing;  every  one  that  passeth  thereby 
shall  be  astonished  and  hiss  because  of  all  the  plagues 

9  thereof.  And  I  will  cause  them  to  eat  the  flesh  of 
their  sons  and  the  flesh  of  their  daughters,  and 
they  shall  eat  every  one  the  flesh  of  his  friend,  in  the 
siege  and  in  the  straitness,  wherewith  their  enemies, 
and  they  that  seek  their  life,  shall  straiten  them.

10  "Then  shalt  thon  break  the  bottle  in  the  sight  of  the 
men  that  go  with  thee, 

1 1  And  shalt  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
"Even  so  will  I  break  this  people  and  this  city,  as  one 
breaketh  a  potter's  vessel,  that  cannot  fbe  made  whole 
again :  and  they  shall  "bury  them  in  To'phet,  till  there  be  no 
place  to  bury. 

12  Thus  will  I  do  unto  this  place,  saith  the  Lord,  and  to 
the  inhabitants  thereof,  and  even  make  this  city  as  To'phet : 

13  And  the  houses  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  houses  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah,  shall  be  defiled  'as  the  place  of  To'phet, 
because  of  all  the  houses  upon  whose  ""roofs  they  have 
burned  incense  unto  all  the  host  of  heaven,  and  "have  poured 
out  drink  offerings  unto  other  gods. 

14  Then  came  Jer-e-mi'ah  trom  To'phet,  whither  the  Lord 
had  sent  him  to  prophesy;  and  he  stood  in  'the  court  of 
the  Lord's  house,  and  .said  to  all  the  people, 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Be- 
hold, I  will  bring  upon  this  city  and  upon  all  her  towns  all 
the  evil  that  I  have  pronounced  against  it,  because  "they  have 
hardened  their  necks,  that  they  might  not  hear  my  words. 

CHAPTER    XX. 

Pashur,  smtting  jerermah,  recetveth  a  new  name,  and  a  fearfut  doom. 

NOW  Pash'ur  the  son  of  "Im'mer  the  priest,   who  was 
also  chief  governer  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  heard 
that  Jer-e-mi'ah  j)rophe8ied  these  things. 

2  Then  Pash'ur  smote  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  and  put  him 
in  the  stocks  that  were  in  the  high  gate  of  Ben'ja-min,  which 
was  by  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Pash'ur 
brought  forth  Jer-e-mi'ah  out  of  the  stocks.  Then  said  Jer- 
e-mi'ah  unto  him,  The  Lord  hath  not  called  thy  name 
Pash'ur,  but  ||Ma-gor-mis'8a-bib. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  make  thee  a  ter- 
ror to  thyself,  and  to  all  thy  friends;  and  they  shall  fall  by 
the  sword  of  their  enemies,  and  thine  eyes  shall  behold  it : 
and  I  will  give  all  Ju'dah  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  and  he  shall  carry  them  captive  into  Bab'y-lon, 
and  shall  slay  them  with  the  sword. 

5  Moreover  I  'will  deliver  all  the  strength  of  this  city, 
and  all  the  labours  thereof,  and  all  the  precious  things 
thereof,  and  all  the  treasures  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah  will  I 
give  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies,  which  shall  spoil  them, 
and  take  them,  and  carry  them  to  Bab'y-lon. 

6  And  thou,  Pash'ur,  and  all  that  dwell  in  thine  house 
shall  go  into  captivity:  and  thou  shalt  come  to  Bab'y-lon, 
and  there  thou  shalt  die,  and  shalt  be  buried  there, 
thou,  and  all  thy  friends,  to  whom  thou  hast  "prophesied 
lies. 

T  ^O  Lord,  thou  hast  deceived  me,  and  I  was  1| deceived: 
"Hhou  art  stronger  than  I,  and  hast  prevailed:  'I  am  in 
derision  daily,  every  one  mocketh  me. 

8  For  since  I  spake,  I  cried  out,  ^I  cried  violence  and 
spoil ;  because  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  made  a  reproach 
unto  me,  and  a  derision,  daily. 

9  Then  I  said,  I  will  not  make  mention  of  him,  nor 
speak  any  more  in  his  name.  But  his  word  was  in  my 
heart  as  a  "burning  fire  shut  up  in  my  bonas,  and  I  was 
weary  with  forbearing,  and  *I  could  not  stay. 

10  ^'For  I  heard  the  defaming  of  many,  fear  on  every 
side.  Report,  say  they,  and  we  will  report  it.  f*All  my 
familiars  watched  for  my  halting,  saying,  Peradventure  he 
will  be  enticed,  and  we  shall  prevail  against  him,  and  we 
shall  take  our  revenge  on  him. 

11  But  'the  Lord  is  with  me  as  a  mighty  terrible  one: 
therefore  my  persecutors  shall  stumble,  and  they  shall  not 
"prevail ;  they  shall  be  greatly  ashamed ;  for  they  shall  not 
prosper:  their  "everlasting  confusion  shall  never  be  for- 
gotten. 


10  Then  shalt  thou  break  the  bottle  in  the  sight  of  the 

1 1  men  that  go  with  thee,  and  shalt  say  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :  Even  so  will  I  break  this 
people  and  this  city,  as  one  breaketh  a  potter's  vessel, 
that  cannot  be  made  whole  again  :  and  they  shall  bury 

12  in  To'pheth,  'till  there  be  no  place  to  bury.  Thus  will  I 
do  unto  this  place,  saith  the  Lord,  and  to  the  inhabit- 

13 ants  thereof,  even  making  this  city  as  To'pheth:  and 
the  houses  of  Je-ru'salem,  and  the  houses  of  the  kings 
of  Ju'dah,  which  are  defiled,  shall  be  as  the  place  of 
To'pheth,  even  all  the  houses  upon  whose  roofs  they 
have  burned  incense  unto  all  the  host  of  heaven,  and 
have  poured  out  drink  offerings  unto  other  gods. 

14  Then  came  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  To'pheth,  whither  the 
Lord  had  sent  him  to  prophesy;  and  he  stood  in 
the  court  of  the  Lord's  house,  and  said  to  all  the 

15 people:  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Behold,  I  will  bring  upon  this  city  and  upon 
all  her  towns  all  the  evil  that  I  have  pronounced 
against  it;  because  they  have  made  their  neck  stiff, 
that  they  might  not  hear  my  words. 

^4  v  Now  Pash'hur  the  son  of  Im'mer  the  priest,  who 
was  chief  officer  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  heard 

2  Jer-e-mi'ah  prophesying  these  things.  Then  Pash'hur 
smote  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  and  put  him  ia  the 
stocks  that  were  in  the  upper  gate  of  Ben'ja-min, 

3  which  was  in  the  house  of  the  Lord.  And  it  came 
to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  Pash'hur  brought  forth 
Jer-e-mi'ah  out  of  the  stocks.  Then  said  Jer-e  mi'ah 
unto    him.   The  Lord   hath   not  called  thy   name 

4  Pash'hur,  but  ^Ma-gor-mis'sa-bib.  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Behold,  i  will  make  thee  a  terror  to  thy- 
self, and  to  all  thy  friends  :  and  they  shall  fall  by  the 
sword  of  their  enemies,  and  thine  eyes  shall  behold 
it :  and  I  will  give  all  Ju'dah  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  he  shall  carry  them  captive 
to  Bab'y-lon,  and  shall  slay  them  with  the  sword. 

5  Moreover  I  will  give  all  the  riches  of  this  city,  and 
all  the  gains  thereof,  and  all  the  precious  things 
thereof,  yea,  all  the  trea.sures  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah 
will  I  give  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies,  which 
shall  spoil  them,  and  take  them,  and  carry  them  to 

6  Bab'y-lon.  And  thou,  Pash'hur,  and  all  that  dwell 
in  thine  house  shall  go  into  captivity :  and  thou 
shalt  come  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  there  thou  shalt  die, 
and  there  shalt  thou  be  buried,  thou,  and  all  thy 
friends,  to  whom  thou  hast  prophesied  falsely. 

7  O  Lord,  thou  hast  ^deceived  me,  and  I  was  de 
ceived :  thou  art  stronger  than  I,  and  hast  prevailed 
I  am  become  a  laughingstock  all  the  day,  every  one 

8  mocketh  me.  For  as  often  as  I  speak,  I  cry  out ;  I 
cry,  Violence  and  spoil :  because  the  word  of  the 
Lord  is  made  a  reproach  unto  me,  and  a  derision, 

9  all  the  day.  And  if  I  say,  I  will  not  make  mention 
of  him,  nor  speak  any  more  in  his  name,  then  there 
is  in  mine  heart  as  it  were  a  burning  fire  shut  up  in 
my  bones,  and  I  am  weary  with  forbearing,  and  I 

10  cannot  contain.  For  I  have  heard  the  defaming  of 
many,  terror  on  every  side.  Denounce,  and  we  will 
denounce  him,  say  all  my  familiar  friends,  they  that 
watch  for  my  halting;  peradventure  he  will  be 
enticed,  and  we  shall  prevail  against  him,  and  we 

11  shall  take  our  revenge  on  him.  But  the  Lord  is 
with  me  as  a  mighty  one  and  a  terrible:  therefore 
my  persecutors  shall  stumble,  and  they  shall  not 
prevail:  they  shall  be  greatly  ashamed,  because 
they  have  not  Mealt  wisely,  even  with  an  ever- 
lasting dishonour  which  shall  never  be  forgotten.!

CHAPTER    XXI. 

Zedekiah  sendeth  to  inquire  the  event  of  Nebuchadrezzar* s  war. 

rPHE  word  which  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 
J-  when  king  Zed-e-ki'ah  sent  unto  him"Pash'ur  the  son  of  Mel- 
chi'ah,and''Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  priest, saying, 

2  "Inquire,  I  pray  thee  of  the  Lord  for  us;  for  Neb-u- 
chad-rez'zar,  king  of  Bab'y-lon  maketh  war  against  us  ;  if  so 
be  that  the  Lord  will  deal  with  us  according  to  all  his  won- 
drous works,  that  he  may  go  up  from  us. 

3  ^Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  them.  Thus  shall  ye  say  to 
Zed-e-ki'ah : 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Behold,  I  will  turn 
back  the  weapons  of  war  that  are  in  your  hands,  wherewith 
ye  fight  against  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  against  the  Chal- 
de'ans,  which  besiege  you  without  the  walls,  and  ''I  will 
assemble  them  into  the  midst  of  this  city. 

5  And  I  myself  will  fight  against  you  with  an  'out- 
stretched hand  and  with  a  strong  arm,  even  in  anger,  and 
in  fury,  and  in  great  wrath. 

6  And  I  will  smite  the  inhabitants  of  this  city,  both  man 
and  bea.st :  they  shall  die  of  a  great  pestilence. 

7  And  afterward,  saith  the  Lord,  'I  will  deliver  Zed-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah,  and  his  servants,  and  the  people,  and  such 
as  are  left  in  this  city  from  the  pestilence,  from  the  sword, 
and  from  the  famine,  into  thehand  of  Neb-u-chad-re/zar  king 
of  Bab'y-lon,  and  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies,  and  into 
the  hand  of  those  that  seek  their  life :  and  he  shall  smite 
them  with  the  edge  of  the  sword ;  "he  shall  not  spare  them, 
neither  have  pity,  nor  have  mercy. 

8  TIAnd  unto  this  people  thou  shalt  say.  Thus  saith  th« 
Lord;  Behold,  ''I  set  before  you  the  way  of  life,  and  the 
way  of  death. 

9  He  that  'abideth  in  this  city  shall  die  by  the  sword,  and 
by  the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence :  but  he  that  goeth  out, 
and  falleth  to  the  Chal-de'ans  that  besiege  you,  he  shall  live, 
and  *his  life  shall  be  unto  him  for  a  prey. 

10  For  I  have  'set  my  face  against  this  city  for  evil,  and 
not  for  good,  saith  the  Lord  :  "'it  shall  be  given  into  the 
hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  he  shall  "burn  it  with  fire. 

11  5l-A-ud  touching  the  house  of  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  say, 
Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord  ; 

12  O  house  of  Da'vid,  thus  saith  the  Lord;  "fExecute 
judgment  ''in  the  morning,  and  deliver  him  that  is  spoiled 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  oppressor,  lest  my  fury  go  out  like 
fire,  and  burn  that  none  can  quench  it,  because  of  the  evil 
of  your  doings. 

13  Behold,  'I  amagainstthee,0  finhabitant  of  the  valley,  and 
rock  of  the  plain,  saith  the  Lord  ;  which  say,  ''Who  shall  come 
down  against  us?  or  who  shall  enter  into  our  habitations? 

14  But  I  will  tpunish  you  according  to  the  'fruit  of  your 
doings,  saith  the  Lord:  and  I  will  kindle  a  fire  in  the  forest 
thereof,  and  'it  shall  devour  all  things  round  about  it. 


12  But,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  that  triest  the  righteous,  that 
seest  the  reins  and  the  heart,  let  me  see  thy  vengeance 

13  on  them  ;  for  unto  thee  have  I  revealed  my  cause.  Sing 
unto  the  Lord,  praise  ye  the  Lord  :  for  he  hath  deliv- 
ered the  soul  of  the  needy  from  the  hand  of  evil-doers. 

14  Cursed  be  the  day  wherein  I  was  born :  let  not 
the    day    wherein   my    mother   bare  me  be  blessed. 

15  Cursed  be  the  man  who  brought  tidings  to  my 
father,    saying,    A    man   child    is    born    unto    thee; 

16  making  him  very  glad.  And  let  that  man  be  as  the 
cities  which  the  Lord  overthrew,  and  repented  not : 
and  let  him  hear  a  cry  in  the  morning,  and  'shouting 

17 at  noontide;  because  he  slew  me  not  from  the 
womb;    and  so  my  mother  should    have    been    my 

18  grave,  and  her  womb  always  great.  Wherefore  came 
I  forth  out  of  the  womb  to  see  labour  and  sorrow, 
that  my  days  should  be  consumed  with  shame  ? 

'^i-  The  word  which  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the 
Lord,  when  king  Zed-e-ki'ah  sent  unto  him  Pash'hur 
the  son  of  Mal-chi'ah,  and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son  of 

2  Ma-a-se'iah  the  priest,  saying.  Inquire,  I  pray  thee, 
of  the  Lord  for  us ;  for  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  maketh  war  against  us :  peradventure  the 
Lord  will  deal  with  us  according  to  all  his  won- 
drous works,  that  he  may  go  up  from  us. 

3  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  them.  Thus  shall  ye  say 

4  to  Zed-e-ki'ah :  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  theGod  of  Is'ra-el, 
Behold,  I  will  turn  back  the  weapons  of  war  that  are 
in  your  hands,  wherewith  ye  fight  against  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  and  against  the  Chal-de'ans  which  besiege 
you,  without  the  walls,  and  I  will  gather  them  into  the 

5  midstof  this  city.  And  I  myself  will  fight  against  you 
with  an  outstretched  haud  and  with  a  strong   arm, 

6  even  in  anger,  and  in  fury,  and  in  great  wrath.  And 
I  will  smite  the  inhabitants  of  this  city,  both  man  and 

7  beast :  they  shall  die  of  a  great  pestilence.  And  after- 
ward,saith  the  Lord,  I  will  deliver  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  his  servants,  and  the  people,  even  such 
as  are  left  in  this  city  from  the  pestilence,  from  the 
sword,  and  from  the  famine,  into  the  hand  of  Neb-u- 
chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  into  the  hand 
of  their  enemies,  and  into  the  hand  of  those 
that  seek  their  life:  and  he  shall  smite  them 
with   the   edge  of  the   sword;    he   shall    not   spare 

8  them,  neither  have  pity,  nor  have  mercy.  And 
unto  this  people  thou  shalt  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  : 
Behold,  I  set  before  you  the  way  of   life  and  the 

9  way  of  death.  He  that  abideth  in  this  city  shall 
die  by  the  sword,  and  by  the  famine,  and  by  the 
pestilence :  but  he  that  goeth  out,  and  falleth  away 
to  the  Chal-de'ans  that  besiege  you,  he  shall  live, 

10 and  his  life  shall  be  unto  him  for  a  prey.  For  I 
have  set  my  face  upon  this  city  for  evil,  and  not  for 
good,  saith  the  Lord:  it  shall  be  given  into  the  band 
of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  he  shall  burn  it  with  fire. 
11  And  touching  the  house  of  the  king  of  Ju'dah, 
12 hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord:  O  house  of  Da'vid, 
thus  saith  the  Lord,  Execute  judgement  in  the 
morning,  and  deliver  the  spoiled  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  oppressor,  lest  my  fury  go  forth  like  fire,  and 
burn  that  none  can  quench  it,  because  of  the  evil 

13  of  ^your  doings.  Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  O  'inhab- 
itant ofthe  valley,  *andoftherockofthe  plain,  saith  the 
Lord;  ye  which  say.  Who  shall  come  down  against 

14  us? or  who  shall  enter  into  our  habitations ? and  I  will 
punish  you  according  to  the  fruit  of  your  doings,

and  it  shall  devour  all  that  is  round  about  her.

Jeremiah  exhortetfi  to  repentance  with  promises  and  ihreais„ 

THUS  saith  the  Lobd  ;  Go  down  to  the  house  of  the  king 
of  Ju'dah,  and  speak  there  this  word, 

2  And  say,  "Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  king  of  Ju'dah, 
that  sittest  upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid,  thou,  and  thy  serv- 
ants, and  thy  people  that  enter  in  by  these  gates : 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  ''Execute  ye  judgment  and  right- 
eousness, and  deliver  the  spoiled  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
oppressor :  and  "do  no  wrong,  do  no  violence  to  the  stranger, 
the  fatherless,  nor  the  widow,  neither  shed  innocent  blood 
in  this  place. 

4  For  if  ye  do  this  thing  indeed,  "then  shall  there  enter 
in  by  the  gates  of  this  house  kings  sitting  f  upon  the  throne 
of  Da'vid,  riding  in  chariots  and  on  horses,  he,  and  his  serv- 
ants, and  his  people. 

5  But  if  ye  will  not  hear  these  words,  'I  swear  by  myself, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  this  house  shall  become  a  desolation. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  the  king's  house  of  Ju'dah; 
Thou  art  Gil'e-ad  unto  me,  and  the  head  of  Leb'a-non :  yet 
surely  I  will  make  thee  a  wilderness,  and  cities  which  are 
not  inhabited. 

7  And  I  will  prepare  destroyers  against  thee,  every  one 
with  his  weapons :  and  they  shall  cut  down  -'thy  choice 
cedars,  'and  cast  them  into  the  fire. 

8  And  many  nations  shall  pass  by  this  city,  and  they 
shall  say  every  man  to  his  neighbour,  ^Wherefore  hath  the 
Lord  done  thus  unto  this  great  city  ? 

9  Then  they  shall  answer,  'Because  they  have  forsaken 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  their  God,  and  worshipped  other 
gods,  and  served  them. 

10  ^Weep  ye  not  for  *the  dead,  neither  bemoan  him: 
hvi  weep  sore  for  him  'that  goeth  away  :  for  he  shall  return 
no  more,  nor  see  his  native  country. 

11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  touching  "Shal'lum  the  son  of 
Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  which  reigned  instead  of  Jo-si'ah 
his  father,  "which  went  forth  out  of  this  place ;  He  shall 
not  return  thither  any  more : 

12  But  he  shall  die  in  the  place  whither  they  have  led 
him  captive,  and  shall  see  this  land  no  more. 

13  51° Woe  unto  him  that  buildeth  his  house  by  unrighteous- 
ness,and  his  chambers  by  wrong;  "that  useth  his  neighbour's 
service  without  wages,  and  giveth  him  not  for  his  work ; 

14  That  saith,  I  will  build  me  a  wide  house  and  flarge 
chambers,  and  cutteth  him  out  ||  windows;  and  it  is  ceiled 
with  cedar,  and  painted  with  vermilion. 

15  Shalt  thou  reign,  because  thou  clothest  thyself  in 
cedar?  "did  not  thy  father  eat  and  drink,  and  do  judgment 
and  justice,  and  then  'it  was  well  with  him? 

16  He  judged  the  cause  of  the  poor  and  needy ;  then  ii  was 
well  with  him:  was  not  this  to  know  me?   saith  the  Lord. 

17  'But  thine  eyes  and  thine  heart  are  not  but  for  thy 
covetousness,  and  for  to  shed  innocent  blood,  and  for 
oppression,  and  for  ||  violence,  to  do  it. 

18  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning  Je-hoi'a-kim 
the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah ;  'They  shall  not  lament 
for  him,  saying,  "Ah  my  brother!  or,  Ah  sister!  they  shall 
not  lament  for  him,  saying,  Ah  lord !  or.  Ah  his  glory ! 

19  ^He  shall  be  buried  with  the  burial  of  an  ass,  drawn 
and  cast  forth  beyond  the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20  ^Go  up  to  Leb'a-non,  and  cry;  and  lift  up  thy  voice 
in  Ba'shan,  and  cry  from  the  passages :  for  all  thy  lovers  are 
destroyed. 

211  spake  unto  thee  in  thy  fprosperity ;  bvi  thou  said.st, 
I  will  not  hear.  "This  hath  been  thy  manner  from  thy 
youth,  that  thou  obeyedst  not  my  voice. 

22  The  wind  shall  eat  up  all 'thy  pastors,  and  "thy  lovers 
shall  go  into  captivity:  surely  then  shalt  thou  be  ashamed 
and  confounded  for  all  thy  wickedness. 


Thus  said  the  Lords  Go  down  to  the  house 
of  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  speak  there  this  word, 

2  and  say.  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  king  of 
Ju'dah,  that  sittest  upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid, 
thou,    and    thy    sei"vants,    and    thy     people    that 

3 enter  in  by  these  gates.  Thus  saith  the  Lord: 
Execute  ye  judgement  and  righteousness,  and  de- 
liver the  spoiled  out  of  the  hand  of  the  oppressor: 
and  do  no  wrong,  do  no  violence,  to  the  stranger, 
the  fatherless,  nor  the  widow,  neither  shed  innocent 

4  blood  in  this  place.  For  if  ye  do  this  thing  indeed, 
then  shall  there  enter  in  by  the  gates  of  this  house 
kings  sitting  'upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid,  riding  in 
chariots  and  on  horses,  he,  and  his  servants,  and  his 

6  people.  But  if  ye  will  not  hear  these  words,  I  swear 
by  myself,  saith  the  Lord,  that  this  house  shall  be- 

6  come  a  desolation.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ^con- 
cerning the  house  of  the  king  of  Ju'dah  :  Thou  art 
Gil'e-ad  unto  me,  and  the  head  of  Leb'a-non:  yet 
surely  I  will  make  thee  a  wilderness,  and  cities  which 

7  are  not  inhabited.  And  I  will  'prepare  destroyers 
against  thee,  every  one  with  his  weapons :  and  they 
shall  cut  down  thy  choice  cedars,  and  cast  them  into 

8  the  fire.  And  many  nations  shall  pass  by  this  city, 
and  they  shall  say  every  man  to  his  neighbour. 
Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  done  thus  unto  this  great 

9  city?  Then  they  shall  answer.  Because  they  forsook 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord  their  God,  and  worshipped 
other  gods,  and  served  them. 

10  Weep  ye  not  for  the  dead,  neither  bemoan  him : 
but  weep  sore  for  him  that  goeth  away;  for  he 
shall  return  no  more,  nor   see    his  native  country. 

11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  touching  *Shal'lum  the  son 
of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  which  reigned  instead  of 
Jo-si'ah  his  father,  which  went  forth  out  of  this  place: 

12 He  shall  not  return  thither  any  more;    but  in  the 

Elace  whither  they  have  led  him  captive,  there  shall 
e  die,  and  he  shall  see  this  land  no  more. 

13  Woe  unto  him  that  buildeth  his  house  by  unright- 
eousness, and  his  chambers  by  injustice;  that  useth 
his  neighbour's  service  without  wages,  and  giveth 

14  him  not  his  hire ;  that  saith,  I  will  build  me  a 
wide  house  and  spacious  chambers,  and  cutteth  him 
out  windows;  and  it  is  cieled  with  cedar,  and  painted 

15  with  vermilion.  Shalt  thou  reign,  because  thou 
'strivest  to  excel  in  cedar  ?  did  not  thy  father  eat  and 
drink,  and  do  judgement  and  justice?   then  it  was 

16  well  with  him.  He  judged  the  cause  of  the  poor  and 
needy ;  then  it  was  well.  Was  not  this  to  know  me  ? 

17  saith  the  Lord.  But  thine  eyes  and  thine  heart 
are  not  but  for  thy  'covetousness,  and  for  to  shed 
innocent  blood,  and  for  oppression,  and  for  violence 

18  to  do  it.  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning 
Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah :  They 
shall  not  lament  for  him,  saying.  Ah  my  brother! 
or,    Ah    sister!    they    shall    not     lament    for    him, 

1^ saying.  Ah  lord!  or,  Ah  his  glory!  He  shall  be 
buried  with  the  burial  of  an  ass,  drawn  and  cast 
forth  beyond  the  gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20  Go  up  to  Leb'a-non,  and  cry ;  and  lift  up  thy  voice  in 
Ba'shan :  and  cry  from  Ab'a-rim ;  for  all  thy  lovers  are 

21  destroyed.  I  spake  unto  thee  in  thy  prosperity ;  but 
thou  saidst,  I  will  not  hear.  This  hath  been  thy  manner 
from  thy  youth,  that  thou  obeyedst  not  my  voice. 

22  The  wind  shall  ^feed  all  thy  shepherds,  and  thy  lov- 
ers shall  go  into  captivity :  surely  then  shalt  thou  be 
ashamed  and  confounded    for  all  thy  wickedness.

23  O  finliabitant  of  Leb'a-non,  that  makest  thy  nest  in 
the  cedars,  how  gracious  shalt  thou  be  when  pangs  come 
upon  thee,  'the  pain  as  of  a  woman  in  travail ! 

24  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lokd,  "though  Co-ni'ah  the  son  of 
Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  ''were  the  signet  upon  my  right 
hand,  yet  would  I  pluck  thee  thence ; 

25  "And  I  will  give  thee  into  the  hand  of  them  that  seek 
thy  life,  and  into  the  hand  of  them  whose  face  thou  fearest, 
even  into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 
and  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans. 

26  -^And  I  will  cast  thee  out,  and  thy  mother  that  bare 
thee,  into  another  country,  where  ye  were  not  born ;  and 
there  shall  ye  die. 

27  But  to  the  land  whereunto  they  fdesire  to  return, 
thither  shall  they  not  return. 

28  /s  this  man  Co-ni'ah  a  despised  broken  idol?  tsAe'avesssel 
wherein  is  no  pleasure  ?  wherefore  are  they  cast  out,  he  and 
his  seed,  and  are  cast  into  a  land  which  they  know  not? 

29  *0  earth,  earth,  earth,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

30  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Write  ye  this  man  'childless,  a 
man  that  shall  not  prosper  in  his  days :  for  no  man  of  his 
seed  shall  prosper,  ^sitting  upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid,  and 
ruling  any  more  in  Ju'dah. 

CHAPTER   XXIII. 

Jeremiah  prophesieth  a  restoration  of  the  scattered  Jlock. 

WOE  "be  unto  the  pastors  that  destroy  and  scatter  the 
sheep  of  my  pasture !  saith  the  Lord. 

2  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  against  the 
pastors  that  feed  my  people  ;  Ye  have  scattered  my  flock,  and 
driven  them  away,  and  have  not  visited  them :  'behold,  I  will 
visit  upon  you  the  evil  of  your  doings,  saith  the  Lord. 

3  And  "^I  will  gather  the  remnant  of  my  flock  out  of  all 
countries  whither  I  have  driven  them,  and  will  bring  them 
again  to  their  folds ;  and  they  shall  be  fruitful  and  increase. 

4  And  I  will  set  up  ''shepherds  over  them,  which  shall 
feed  them :  and  they  shall  fear  no  more,  nor  be  dismayed, 
neither  shall  they  be  lacking,  saith  the  Lord. 

5  ^Behold,  'the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
raise  unto  Da'vid  a  righteous  Branch,  and  a  King  shall 
reign  and  prosper,  •'^and  shall  execute  judgment  and  justice 
in  the  earth. 

6  "In  his  days  Ju'dah  shall  be  saved,  and  Is'ra-el  *shall 
dwell  safely  :  and  'this  is  his  name  whereby  he  shall  be 
called,  tTHE  LORD  OUR  RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

7  Therefore,  behold,  *the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
they  shall  no  more  say.  The  Lord  liveth,  which  brought 
up  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 

8  But,  The  Lord  liveth  which  brought  up  and  which  led 
the  seed  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  north  country, 
'and  from  all  countries  whither  I  had  driven  them;  and 
they  shall  dwell  in  their  own  land. 

9  ^Mine  heart  within  me  is  broken  because  of  the  proph- 
ets; ""all  my  bones  shake:  I  am  like  a  drunken  man, 
and  like  a  man  whom  wine  hath  overcome,  because  of  the 
Lord,  and  because  of  the  words  of  his  holiness. 

10  For  "the  land  is  full  of  adulterers;  for  "because  of 
II  swearing  the  land  mourneth;  "the  pleasant  places  of 
the  wilderness  are  dried  up,  and  their  jj  course  is  evil,  and 
their  force  is  not  right. 

11  For  "both  prophet  and  priest  are  profane:  yea, 'in  my 
house  have  I  found  their  wickedness,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  'Wherefore  their  way  shall  be  unto  them  as  slippery 
ways  in  the  darkness;  they  shall  be  driven  on,  and  fall 
therein :  for  I  'will  bring  evil  upon  them,  eoem,  the  year  of 
their  visitation,  saith  the  Lord. 

13  And  I  have  seen  Hffolly  in  the  prophets  of  Sa-ma'ri-a; 
"they  prophesied  in  Ba'al,''and  caused  mypeople  Is'ra-el  toerr. 

14  I  have  seen  also  in  the  prophets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  ||a 
horrible  thing :  "they  commit  adultery,  and  "walk   in  lies : 


23  O  4nhabitant  of  Leb'a-non,  that  makest  thy  nest 
in  the  cedars,  'how  greatly  to  be  pitied  shalt 
thou  be  when  pangs  come  upon  thee,  the  pain  as  of  a 

24  woman  in  travail !  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  though 
'Co-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah 
were   the    signet   upon    my  right   hand,  yet  would 

25  I  pluck  thee  thence ;  and  I  will  give  thee  into  the 
hand  of  them  that  seek  thy  life,  and  into  the  hand  of 
them  of  whom  thou  art  afraid,  even  into  the  hand  of 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  into  the  hand 

26  of  the  Chal-de'ans.  And  I  will  cast  thee  out,  and  thy 
mother  that  bare  thee,  into  another  country,  where  ye 

27  were  not  born  ;  and  there  shall  ye  die.  But  to  the 
land  whereunto  Hheir  soul  longeth  to  return,  thither 

28  shall  they  not  return.  Is  this  man  Co-ni'ah  a  despised 
broken  "vessel  ?  is  he  a  vessel  wherein  is  no  pleasure? 
wherefore  are  they   cast   out,  he   and  his   seed,  and 

29 are  cast  into  the  land  which  they  know  not?  O 
30'earth,  earth,  earth,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Write  ye  this  man  childless,  a  man 
that  shall  not  prosper  in  his  days :  for  no  man  of  his 
seed  shall  prosper,  sitting  upon  the  throne  ofDa'vid, 
and  ruling  any  more  in  Ju'dah. 

^^  Woe  unto  the  shepherds  that  destroy  and  scatter 
2 the  sheep  of  my  pasture!  saith  the  Lord.  There- 
fore thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  against 
the  shepherds  that  feed  my  people:  Ye  have  scat- 
tered my  flock,  and  driven  them  away,  and  have  not 
visited  them ;  behold,  I  will  visit  upon  you  the  evil 

3  of  your  doings,  saith  the  Lord.  And  I  will  gather 
the  remnant  of  my  flock  out  of  all  the  countries 
whither  I  have  driven  them,  and  will  bring  them  again 
to  their  folds;  and  they  shall  be  fruitful  and  multiply. 

4  And  I  will  set  up  shepherds  over  them  which  shall 
feed  them :  and  they  shall  fear  no  more,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed, neither  shall  any  be  lacking,  saith  the  Lord. 

5  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
raise  unto  Da'vid  a  righteous  'Branch,  and  he  shall 
reign  as  king  and  *deal   wisely,  and   shall   execute 

6  judgement  and  justice  in  the  land.  In  his  days 
Ju'dah  shall  be  saved,  and  Is'ra-el  shall  dwell  safely  : 
and  this   is  his    name  whereby  he  shall   be   called, 

7 'The  Lord  is  our  righteousness.  '"Therefore,  be- 
hold, the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  they  shall 
no  more  say.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  which  brought  up 

8  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  but. 
As  the  Lord  liveth,  which  brought  up  and  which  led 
the  seedof  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  north  country, 
and  from  all  the  countries  whither  I  had  driven 
them ;  and  they  shall  dwell  in  their  own  land. 

9  Concerning  the  prophets.  Mine  heart  within  me 
is  broken,  all  my  bones  shake  :  I  am  like  a  drunken 
man,  and  like  a  man  whom  wine  hath  overcome ; 
because    of    the    Lord,  and    because    of   his    holy 

10 words.  For  the  land  is  full  of  adulterers;  for  be- 
cause of  "swearing  the  laud  mourneth ;  the  pastures 
of  the  wilderness  are  dried  up ;  and  their  course  is 

11  evil,  and  their  force  is  not  right.  For  both  prophet 
and  priest  are  profane;  yea,   in   my   house    have  I 

1 2  found  their  wickedness,  saith  the  Lord.  Wherefore 
their  way  shall  be  unto  them  as  slippery  places  in 
the  darkness :  they  shall  be  driven  on,  and  fall 
therein  :  for  I  will  bring  evil  upon  them,  ''even  the 

13year  of  their  visitation,  saith  the  Lord.  And  I  have 
seen  folly  in  the  prophets  of  Sa-ma'ri-a :  they  prophesied 

14  by  Ba'al,  and  caused  my  people  Is'ra-el  to  err.  In  the 
prophets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  also  I  have  seen  an  horrible 
thing;    they    commit   adultery,  and    walk   in  lies,

they  "strengthen  also  the  hands  of  evil  doers,  that  none 
doth  return  from  his  wickedness :  they  are  all  of  them  unto 
me  as  'Sod'om,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof  as  Go-mor'rah. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Loed  of  hosts  concerning  the 
prophets;  Behold,  I  will  feed  them  with  "wormwood,  and 
make  them  drink  the  water  of  gall :  for  from  the  prophets 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem  is  ||  profaneness  gone  forth  into  all  the  land. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Hearken  not  unto  the 
words  of  the  prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you :  they  make 
you  vain :  ''they  speak  a  vision  of  their  own  heart,  and  not 
out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

17  They  .say  still  unto  them  that  despise  me,  the  Lord 
hath  said,  'Ye  shall  have  peace;  and  they  say  unto  every 
one  that  walketh  after  the  ||  imagination  of  his  own  heart, 
■^No  evil  shall  come  upon  you. 

18  For  'who  hath  stood  in  the  ||  counsel  of  the  Lord, 
and  hath  perceived  and  heard  his  word?  who  hath  marked 
his  word,  and  heard  it  f 

19  Behold,  a  ''whirlwind  of  the  Lord  is  gone  forth  in 
fury,  even  a  grievous  whirlwind:  it  shall  fall  grievously 
upon  the  head  of  the  wicked. 

20  The  'anger  of  the  Lord  shall  not  return,  until  he  have 
executed,  and  till  he  have  performed  the  thoughts  of  his 
heart :  *in  the  latter  days  ye  shall  consider  it  perfectly. 

21  'I  have  not  sent  these  prophets,  yet  they  ran;  I  have 
not  spoken  to  them,  yet  they  prophesied. 

22  But  if  they  had  "stood  in  my  counsel,  and  had  caused 
my  people  to  hear  my  words,  then  they  should  have  "turned 
them  from  their  evil  way,  and  from  the  evil  of  their  doings. 

23  Am  I  a  God  at  hand,  saith  the  Lord,  and  not  a  God 
afar  off? 

24  Can  any  "hide  himself  in  secret  places  that  I  shall  not 
see  him  ?  saith  the  Lord.  "Do  not  I  fill  heaven  and  earth  ? 
saith  the  Lord. 

25  I  have  heard  what  the  prophets  said,  that  proph- 
esy lies  in  my  name,  saying,  I  have  dreamed,  I  have 
dreamed. 

26  How  long  shall  this  be  in  the  heart  of  the  prophets 
that  prophesy  lies?  yea,  they  are  prophets  of  the  deceit  of 
their  own  heart ; 

27  Which  think  to  cause  my  people  to  forget  my  name 
by  their  dreams  which  they  tell  every  man  to  his  neighbour, 
'as  their  fathers  have  forgotten  my  name  for  Ba'al. 

28  The  prophet  fthat  hath  a  dream,  let  him  tell  a  dream ; 
and  he  that  hath  my  word,  let  him  speak  my  word  faith- 
fully.    What  is  the  chaff  to  the  wheat,  saith  the  Lord. 

29  Is  not  my  word  like  as  a  fire?  saith  the  Lord;  and 
like  a  hammer  that  breaketh  the  rock  in  pieces? 

30  Therefore,  behold,  'I  am  against  the  prophets,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  steal  my  words  every  one  from  his  neighbour. 

31  Behold,  I  am  against  the  prophets,  saith  the  Lord,  ||  that 
use  their  tongues,  and  say.  He  saith. 

32  Behold,  I  am  against  them  that  prophesy  false  dreams, 
saith  the  Lord,  and  do  tell  them,  and  cau.se  my  people  to 
err  by  their  lies,  and  by  their  lightness;  yet  I  sent  them  not, 
nor  commanded  them ;  therefore  they  shall  not  profit  this 
people  at  all,  saith  the  Lord. 

33  ^And  when  this  people,  or  the  prophet,  or  a  priest, 
shall  ask  thee,  saying.  What  is  'the  burden  of  the  Lord  ? 
thou  shalt  then  say  unto  them.  What  burden  ?  "I  will  even 
forsake  you,  saith  the  Lord. 

34  And  a8  for  the  prophet,  and  the  priest,  and  the  people 
that  shall  say.  The  burden  of  the  Ix)RD,  I  will  even  fpunish 
that  man  and  his  house. 

35  Thus  shall  ye  say  every  one  to  his  neighbour,  and 
evsry  one  to  his  brother.  What  hath  the  Lord  answered  ? 
and.  What  hath  the  Lord  spoken  ? 

36  And  the  burden  of  the  Lord  shall  ye  mention  no 
more :    for  every  mau's  word  shall  be  his  burden :  for  ye 


and  they  strengthen  the  hands  of  evil-doers,  that 
none  doth  return  from  his  wickedness:  they  are 
all  of  them  become  unto  me  as  Sod'om,  and  the  in- 
habitants thereof  as  Go-mor'rah. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts  con- 
cerning the  prophets :  Behold,  I  will  feed  them  with 
wormwood,  and  make  them  drink  the  water  of 
'gall :  for  from  the  prophets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  is  pro- 

16faneness  gone  forth  into  all  the  land.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts.  Hearken  not  unto  the  words  of 
the  prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you;  they  teach 
you  vanity :  they  speak  a  vision  of  their  own  heart, 

17  and  not  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord.  They  say 
continually  unto  them  ^that  despise  me.  The  Lord 
hath  said.  Ye  shall  have  peace;  and  unto  every  one 
that  walketh  in   the  stubbornness  of  his  own  heart 

18  they  say,  No  evil  shall  come  upon  you.  For  who 
hath  stood  in  the  council  of  the  Lord,  that  he 
should   perceive    and    hear   his    word  ?    who    hath 

19 marked  'my  word,  and  heard  it?  Behold,  the 
tempest  of  the  Lord,  even  his  fury,  is  gone  forth, 
yea,   a  whirling   tempest:    it  shall    bur.it  upon  the 

20  head  of  the  wicked.  The  anger  of  the  Lord  shall 
not  return,  until  he  have  'executed,  and  till  he 
have  performed  the  intents  of  his  heart :    in  the  lat- 

21  ter  days  ye  shall  'understand  it  perfectly.  I  sent 
not  these  prophets,  yet  they  ran :   I  spake  not  unto 

22them„yet  they  prophesied.  But  if  they  had  stood 
in  my  council,  then  had  they  caused  my  people  to 
hear  my  words,  and  had  turned  them  from  their  evil 

23  way,  and  from  the  evil  of  their  doings.  Am  I  a 
God  at  hand,  saith  the  Lord,  and  not  a  God  afar 

24  off?  Can  any  hide  himself  in  secret  places  that  I 
shall  not  see  him?  saith  the  Lord.     Do  not  I  fill 

25  heaven  and  earth  ?  saith  the  Lord.  I  have  heard 
what  the  prophets  have  said,  that  prophesy  lies  in 
my  name,  saying,  I  have  dreamed,  I  have  dreamed. 

26  How  long  shall  this  be  in  the  heart  of  the  proph- 
ets that  prophesy  lies;    even   the    prophets   of  the 

27  deceit  of  their  own  heart?  which  think  to  cau.9e  my 
people  to  forget  my  name  by  their  dreams  which 
they  tell  every  man  to  his  neighbour,  as  their  fathers 

28  forgat  my  name  for  Ba'al.  The  prophet  that  hath  a 
dream,  let  him  tell  a  dream ;  and  he  that  hath  my 
word,  let  him  speak  my  word  faithfully.     What  is 

29  the  straw  to  the  wheat  ?  saith  the  Lord.  Is  not  my 
word  like  as  fire?  saith  the  Lord;  and  like  a 
hammer  that  breaketh  the  rock  in  pieces  ? 

30  Therefore,  behold,  I  am  against  the  prophets, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  steal  my  words  every  one  from 

31  his  neighbour.  Behold,  I  am  against  the  prophets, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  *use  their  tongues,  and  say.  He 

32  saith.  Behold,  I  am  against  them  that  prophesy 
lying  dreams,  saith  the  Lord,  and  do  tell  them,  aud 
cause  my  people  to  err  by  tlieir  lies,  and  by  their 
vain  boasting :  yet  I  sent  them  not,  nor  commanded 
them ;  neither  shall  they   profit  this   people  at  all, 

33 saith  the  Lord.  And  when  this  people,  or  the 
prophet,  or  a  prie-st,  shall  ask  thee,  saying,  What  is 
the  burden  of  the  Lord?  then  shalt  thou  'say  unto 
them,  *What  burden !     I  will  cast  you  off,  saith  the 

34  Lord.  And  as  for  the  prophet,  and  the  priest,  and 
the  people,  that  shall  say.  The  burden  of  the  Lord, 

35 1  will  even  punish  that  man  and  his  house.  Thus 
shall  ye  say  every  one  to  his  neighbour,  and  every 
one  to  his  brother.  What  hath  the  Lord  answered  ? 

36 and.  What  hath  the  Lord  spoken?  And  the  bur-

have  perverted  the  words  of  the  living  God,  of  the  Loed

37  Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the  prophet,  What  hath  the 
Lord  answered  thee  ?  and,  What  hath  the  Lord  spoken  ? 

38  But  since  ye  say,  The  burden  of  the  Lord  ;  therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord;  Because  ye  say  this  word,  The  burden 
of  the  Lord,  and  I  have  sent  unto  you,  saying.  Ye  shall 
not  say,  The  burden  of  the  Lord  ; 

39  Therefore,  behold,  I,  even  I,  ""will  utterly  forget  you, 
and  "I  will  forsake  you,  and  the  city  that  I  gave  you  and 
your  fathers,  and  cast  you  out  of  my  presence :

and  a  perpetual  shame,  which  shall  not  be  forgotten. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

Thf  restoration  of  them  that  mere  in  captivity  foretold. 

THE  "Lord  shewed  me,  and,  behold,  two  baskets  of  figs 
were  set  before  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  after  that  Neb-u- 
chad-rez'zar  'king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  carried  away  captive 
Jec-o-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  the 
princes  of  Ju'dah,  with  the  carpenters  and  smiths,  from 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  had  brought  them  to  Bab'y-lon. 

2  One  basket  had  very  good  figs,  even  like  the  figs  that 
are  first  ripe :  and  the  other  basket  had  very  naughty  figs, 
which  could  not  be  eaten,  fthey  were  so  bad. 

3  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me,  What  seest  thou,  Jer-e- 
mi'ah?  and  I  said,  Figs;  the  good  figs,  very  good;  and  the 
evil,  very  evil,  that  cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so  evil. 

4  TJAgain  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  mQ,  saying, 

5  'Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Like  these 
good  figs,  so  will  I  acknowledge  fthem  that  are  carried 
away  captive  of  Ju'dah,  whom  I  have  sent  out  of  this  place 
into  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans  for  their  good. 

6  For  I  will  set  mine  eyes  upon  them  for  good,  and  ''I 
will  bring  them  again  to  this  land :  and  'I  will  build  them, 
and  not  pull  them,  down;  and  I  will  plant  them,  and  not 
pluck  them  up. 

7  And  I  will  give  them  ^a  heart  to  know  me,  that  I  am  the 
Lord  :  and  they  shall  be  "my  people,  and  I  will  be  their 
God :  for  they  shall  return  unto  me  *witli  their  whole  heart. 

8  ^Andastheevil'figs,whicb  cannot beeaten,  they areso  evil: 
surely  thus  saith  the  Lord,  So  will  I  give  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king 
of  Ju'dah,  and  his  princes,  and  the  residue  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that 
remain  in  this  land,  and  *tbem  that  dwell  in  the  land  of  E'gypt : 

9  And  I  will  deliver  them  fto  'be  removed  into  all  the  king- 
doms of  the  earth  for  <AetVhurt,'"fo6ea  reproach  and  a  proverb, 
a  taunt  "and  a  curse,  in  all  places  whither  I  shall  drive  them. 

10  And  I  will  send  the  sword,  the  famine,  and  the  pesti- 
lence, among  them,  till  they  be  consumed  from  off  the  land 
that  I  gave  unto  them  and  to  their  fathers. 

CHAFTER  XXV. 

Jeremiah  foretelUth  the  seiienty  years'  captivity, 

rPHE  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah   concerning  all  the 


T 


people  of  Ju'dah,  "in  the  fourth  year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the 
son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  that  icas  the  first  year  of 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  ; 

2  The  which  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophetspake  unto  all  thepeople 
of  Ju'dah,  and  to  all  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying, 

3  ''From  the  thirteenth  year  of  Jo-si'ah  the  son  of  A'mon 
king  of  Ju'dah,  even  unto  this  day,  that  \»  the  three  and 
twentieth  year,  the  word  of  the  Lord  hath  come  unto  me, 
and  I  have  spoken  unto  you,  rising  early  and  speaking ;  ''but 
ye  have  not  hearkened. 

4  And  the  Lord  hath  sent  unto  you  all  his  servants  the 
prophets,  ''rising  early  and  sending  them,  but  ye  have  not 
hearkened,  nor  inclined  your  ear  to  hear. 

6  They  said,'Turn  ye  again  now  every  one  from  his  evil  way, 
and  from  the  evil  of  your  doings,and  dwell  in  the  land  that  the 
Lord  hathgiven  unto  you  and  to  your  fathers  foreverandever; 

6  And   go   not   after  other   gods  to  serve   them,  and   to 


have  perverted  the  words  of  the  living  God,  of  the 

37  Lord  of  hosts  our  God.  Thus  shalt  thou  say  to 
the  prophet.  What  hath  the  Lord  answered  thee? 

38  and,  What  hath  the  Lord  spoken?  But  if  ye  say, 
The  burden  of  the  Lord;  therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord:  Because  ye  say  this  word.  The  burden 
of  the   Lord,  and  I  have  sent  unto  you,   saying, 

39  Ye  shall  not  say.  The  burden  of  the  Lord  ;  there- 
fore, behold,  I  will  'utterly  forget  you,  and  I  will 
cast  you  off,  and  the  city  that  I  gave  unto  you  and 

4C|to  your  fathers,  away  from  my  presence:  and  I  will 
bring  an  everlasting  reproach  upon  you,  and  a 
perpetual  shame,  which  shall  not  be  forgotten. 

04).  The  Lord  shewed  me,  and,  behold,  two  baskets 
of  figs  set  before  the  temple  of  the  Lord  ;  after  that 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  carried  away 
captive  Jec-o-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  king  of 
Ju'dah,  and  the  princes  of  Ju'dah,  with  the  craftsmen 
and  smiths,  from  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  had  brought  them 

2  to  Bab'y-lon.  One  basket  had  very  good  figs,  like 
the  figs  that  are  first  ripe :  and  the  other  basket  had 
very  bad  figs,  which  could  not  be  eaten,  they  were 

3  so  bad.  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me.  What  seest 
thou,  Jer-e-mi'ah?  And  I  said,  Figs;  the  good  figs, 
very  good;  and  the  bad,  very  bad,  that  cannot  be 

4  eaten,  they  are  so  bad.     And  the  word  of  the  Lord 

5  came  unto  me,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el ;  Like  the.se  good  figs,  so  will  I  regard  the 
captives  of  Ju'dah,  whom  I  have  sent  out  of  this 

6  place  into  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  for  good.  For 
I  will  set  mine  eyes  upon  them  for  good,  and  I  will 
bring  them  again  to  this  land:  and  I  will  build 
them,  and   not  pull  them  down;    and  I  will  plant 

7  them,  and  not  pluck  them  up.  And  I  will  give 
them  an  heart  to  know  me,  that  I  am  the  Lord: 
and  they  shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be  their 
God :  for  they  shall  return  unto  me  with  their  whole 

8  heart.  And  as  the  bad  figs,  which  cannot  be  eaten, 
they  are  so  bad;  surely  thus  saith  the  Lord,  So 
will  I  give  up  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  his 
princes,  and  the  residue  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  remain  in 
this  land,  and  them  that  dwell  in  the  land  of  E'gypt: 

9 1  will  even  give  them  up  to  be  tossed  to  and  fro 
among  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  for  evil ;  to  be 
a  reproach  and  a  proverb,  a  taunt  and  a  curse,  in  all 
10  places  whither  I  shall  drive  them.  And  I  will  send 
the  sword,  the  famine,  and  the  pestilence  among 
them,  till  they  be  consumed  from  off  the  land  that 
I  gave  unto  them  and  to  their  fathers. 

O  P)     The  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  concerning  all 

thepeopleof  Ju'dah  in  the  fourth  year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim 

the  son  of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah ;  the  same  was  the 

first  year  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon; 

2  the  which  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  spake  unto  all  the 
people  of  Ju'dah,  and  to  all  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 

3  sa-lem,  saying ;  From  the  thirteenth  year  of  Jo-si'ah 
the  son  of  A'mon,  king  of  Ju'dah,  even  unto  this 
day,  these  three  and  twenty  years,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  hath  come  unto  me,  and  I  have  spoken  unto 
you,  rising  up  early  and  .speaking;  but  ye  have  not

his  servants  the  prophets,  rising  up  early  and  send- 
ing them :  but  ye  have  not  hearkened,  nor  inclined 

5 your  ear  to  hear;  saying,  Return  ye  now  every  one 
from  his  evil  way,  and  from  the  evil  of  your  doings, 
and  dwell  in  the  land  that  the  Lord  hath  given  unto 
you  and  to  your  fathers,  from  of  old  and  eveji  for  ever-

of  your  hands ;  and  I  will  do  you  no  hurt. 

7  Yet  ye  have  not  hearkened  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord; 
that  ye  might  ■'^provoke  me  to  anger  with  the  works  of  your 
hands  to  your  own  hurt. 

8  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  Because  ye 
have  not  heard  my  words, 

9  Behold,  I  will  send  and  take  'all  the  families  of  the  north, 
saith  the  Lord,  and  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  the  kingof  Bab'y-lon, 
'my  servant,  and  will  bring  them  against  this  land,  and 
against  the  inhabitants  thereof  and  against  all  these  nations 
round  about,  and  will  utterly  destroy  them,  and  "make  them 
an  astonishment,  and  a  hissing,  and  perpetual  desolations. 

10  Moreover  fl  will  take  from  them  the  *voice  of  mirth, 
and  the  voice  of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the  bridegroom, 
and  the  voice  of  the  bride,  'the  sound  of  the  millstones,  and 
the  light  of  the  candle. 

11  And  this  whole  land  shall  be  a  desolation,  and  an 
astonishment;  and  these  nations  shall  serve  the  kiug  of 
Bab'y-lon  seventy  years. 

12  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  "when  *seventy  years  are 
accomplished,  that  I  will  fpunish  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and 
that  nation,  saith  the  LoRD,  for  their  iniquity,  and  the  land 
of  the  Chal-de'ans,  "and  will  make  it  perpetual  desolations. 

13  And  I  will  bring  upon  that  land  all  my  words  which  I 
have  pronounced  against  it,  even  all  that  is  written  in  this  book, 
which  Jer-e-mi'ah  hath  prophesied  against  all  the  nations. 

14  "For  many  nations  ''and  great  kings  shall  'serve  them- 
selves of  them  also :  ""and  I  will  recompense  them  according  to 
their  deeds,  and  according  to  the  works  of  their  own  hands. 

15  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el  unto  me ; 
Take  the  'winecup  of  this  fury  at  my  hand,  and  cause  all 
the  nations,  to  whom  I  send  thee,  to  drink  it. 

16  And  they  shall  drink,  and  be  moved,  and  be  mad,  be- 
cause of  the  sword  that  I  will  send  among  them. 

17  Then  took  I  the  cup  at  the  Lord's  hand,  and  made  all 
the  nations  to  drink,  unto  whom  the  Lord  had  sent  me : 

18  To  wit,  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,and  the  kings 
thereof,  and  the  princes  thereof,  to  make  them  "a  desolation, 
an  astonishment,  a  hissing,  and  "^a  curse ;   as  it  is  this  day ; 

19  "Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  and  his  servants,  and  his

26  "And  all  the  kings  of  the  north,  far  and  near,  one  with 
another,  and  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  world,  which  are  upon 
the  face  of  the  earth:  "and  the  king  of  She'shach  shall  drink 
after  them. 

27  Therefore  thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  "Drink  ye,  and  'be 
drunken,  and  spew,  and  fall,  and  rise  no  more,  because  of 
the  sword  which  I  will  send  among  you. 

28  And  it  shall  be,  if  they  refuse  to  take  the  cup  at  thy 
hand  to  drink,  then  shalt  thou  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts;  Ye  shall  certainly  drink. 

29  For,  lo,  'I  begin  to  bring  evil  on  the  city  f'which  is 
called  by  my  name,  and  should  ye  be  utterly  unpunished? 
Ye  shall  not  be  unpunished ;  for  'I  will  call  for  a  sword  upon 
all  the  inhabtitants  of  the  earth,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.

7  work  of  your  hands ;  and  I  will  do  you  no  hurt.  Yet  ye 
have  not  hearkened  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord  ;  that  ye 
might  provoke  me  to  anger  with  the  work  of  your 

8  hands  to  your  own  hurt.  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts :  Because  ye  have  not  heard  my  words,

saith  the  Lord,  and  I  will  send  unto  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  my  servant,  and  will  bring  them 
against  this  land,  and  against  the  inhabitants  thereof,

'utterly  destroy  them,  and  make  them  an  astonishment, 

10  and  an  hissing,  and  perpetual  desolations.  Moreover 
I  will  ^take  from  them  the  voice  of  mirth  and  the  voice 
of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the  bridegroom  and  the  voice

11  of  the  candle.  And  this  whole  land  shall  be  a  deso- 
lation, and  an  astonishment ;  and  these  nations  shall 

12  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  seventy  years.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  when  seventy  years  are  accomplished, 
that  I  will  punish  the  kingof  Bab'y-lon,  and  that  na- 
tion, saith  the  Lord,  for  their  iniquity,  and  the  land  of 
the  Chal-de'ans ;   and  I  will  make  it  ^desolate  for 

13  ever.  And  I  will  bring  upon  that  land  all  my  words 
which  I  have  pronounced  against  it,  even  all  that  is 
written  in  this  book,  which  Jer-e-mi'ah  hath  prophe- 

14  sied  against  all  the  nations.  For  many  nations  and 
great  kings  *shall  serve  themselves  of  them,  even  of 
them :  and  I  will  recompense  them  according  to  their 
deeds,  and  according  to  the  work  of  their  hands. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  unto 
me :  Take  the  cup  of  the  wine  of  this  fury  at  my 
hand,  and  cause  all  the  nations,  to  whom  I  send  thee, 

16  to  drink  it.  And  they  shall  drink,  and  reel  to  and 
fro,  and  be  mad,  because  of  the  sword  that  I  will 

17  send  among  them.  Then  took  I  the  cup  at  the 
Lord's  hand,  and  made  all  the  nations  to  drink,  unto 

18  whom  the  Lord  had  sent  me :  to  wit,  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  kings  thereof,  and  the

20 princes,  and  all  his  people; 'and  all  the  mingled  peo- 
ple, and  all  the  kings  of  the  land  of  Uz,  and  all  the

25 that  dwell  in  the  wilderness;    and  all  the  kings  of 

Zim'ri,  and  all  the  kings  of  E'lam,  and  all  thie  kings 

26  of  the  Medes;  and  all  the  kings  of  the  north,  far  and 
near,  one  with  another ;  and  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
world,  which  are  upon  the  face  of  the  earth :  and 
the    king    of  "She'shach    shall    drink    after    them. 

27  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Drink  ye,  and  be  drunken, 
and  spue,  and  fall,  and  rise  no  more,  because  of  the 

28  sword  which  I  will  send  among  you.  And  it  shall  be, 
if  they  refuse  to  take  the  ciip  at  thine  hand  to  drink, 
then  shalt  thou  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 

29  of  hosts:  Ye  shall  surely  drink.  For,  lo,  I  begin  to 
work  evil  at  the  city  which  is  called  by  my  name,  and 
should  ye  be  utterly  unpunished  ?  Ye  shall  not  be 
unpunished:  for  I  will  call  for  a  sword  upon  all  the 
inhabitants  of  the  earth,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.

30  Therefore  prophesy  thou  against  them  all  these  words, 
and  say  unto  them,  The  Lord  shall  "roar  from  on  high,  and 
utter  his  voice  from  ""his  holy  habitation ;  he  shall  mightily 
roar  upon  "his  habitation;  he  shall  give  'a  shout,  as  they 
that  tread  the  grapes,  against  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  earth. 

31  A  noise  shall  come  even  to  the  ends  of  the  earth ;  for 
the  Lord  hath  "a  controversy  with  the  nations,  'he  will 
plead  with  all  flesh ;  he  will  give  them  that  are  wicked  to 
the  sword,  saith  the  Lord. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Behold,  evil  shall  go 
forth  from  nation  to  nation,  and  "a  great  whirlwind  shall  be 
raised  up  from  the  coasts  of  the  earth. 

33  ''And  the  slain  of  the  Lord  shall  be  at  that  day  from 
one  end  of  the  earth  even  unto  the  other  end  of  the  earth  : 
they  shall  not  be  'lamented,  ^neither  gathered,  ncr  buried ; 
they  shall  be  dung  upon  the  ground. 

34  ^"Howl,  ye  shepherds,  and  cry ;  and  wallow  yourselves 
in  the  ashes,  ye  principal  of  the  flock :  for  fthe  days  of  your 
slaughter  and  of  your  dispersions  are  accomplished ;  and 
ye  shall  fall  like  fa  pleasant  vessel. 

35  And  fthe  shepherds  shall  have  no  way  to  flee,  nor  the 
principal  of  the  flock  to  escape. 

36  A  voice  of  the  cry  of  the  shepherds,  and  a  howling  of 
the  principal  of  the  flock,  shall  be  heard :  for  the  Lord  hath 
spoiled  their  pasture. 

37  And  the  peaceable  habitations  are  cut  down  because  of 
the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord. 

38  He  hath  forsaken  'his  covert,  as  the  lion :  for  their  land 
is  fdesolate  because  of  the  fierceness  of  the  oppressor,  and 
because  of  his  fierce  anger. 

CHAPTER  XXVI. 

Jeremiah  exkorteth  to  repentance — He  is  apprehended  and  arraigned,   &c. 

IN  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of 
Jo-si'ah,kingofJu'dah,came  this  word  from  the  LoRD,saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Stand  in  "■\h^  court  of  the 
Lord's  house,  and  speak  unto  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah, 
which  come  to  worship  in  the  Lord's  house,  *all  the  words 
that  I  command  thee  to  spep.k  unto  them;  "diminish  not  a 
word : 

3  ""If  so  be  they  will  hearken,  and  turn  every  man  from  his 
evil  way,  that  I  may  'repent  me  of  the  evil,  which  I  purpose 
to  do  unto  them  because  of  the  evil  of  their  doings. 

4  And  thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  -Tf 
ye  will  not  hearken  to  me,  to  walk  in  my  law,  which  I  have 
set  before  you, 

5  To  hearken  to  the  words  of  my  servants  the  prophets, 
'whom  I  sent  unto  you,  both  rising  up  early,  and  sending 
them,  but  ye  have  not  hearkened ; 

6  Then  will  I  make  this  house  like  *Shi'loh,  and  will  make 
this  city  'a  curse  to  all  the  nations  of  the  earth. 

7  So  the  priests  and  the  prophets  and  all  the  people  heard 
Jer-e-mi'ah  speaking  these  words  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

8  ^Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jer-e-mi'ah  had  made  an 
end  of  speaking  all  that  the  Lord  had  commanded  him  to 
speak  unto  all  the  people,  that  the  priests  and  the  prophets 
and  all  the  people  took  him,  saying.  Thou  shalt  surely  die. 

9  Why  hast  thou  prophesied  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
saying.  This  house  shall  be  like  Shi'loh,  and  this  city  shall 
be  desolate  without  an  inhabitant?  And  all  the  people 
were  gathered  against  Jer-e-mi'ah  in  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

10  i[When  the  princes  of  Ju'dah  heard  these  things,  then 
they  came  up  from  the  king's  house  unto  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  sat  down  |1  in  the  entry  of  the  new  gate  of  the 
Lord's  house. 

11  Then  spake  the  priests  and  the  prophets  unto  the 
princes  and  to  all  the  people,  saying,  fThis  man  is  worthy 
to  die ;  'for  he  hath  prophesied  against  this  city,  as  ye  have 
heard  with  your  ears. 

12  ^Then  spake  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  all  the  princes,  and  to  all 


30  Therefore  prophesy  thou  against  them  all  these  words, 
and  say  unto  them.  The  Lord  shall  roar  from  on  high, 
and  utter  his  voice  from  his  holy  habitation ;  he  shall 
mightily  roar  against  his  'fold ;  he  shall  give  a  shout,  as 
they  that  tread  the  grapes,  against  all  the  inhabitants 

31  of  the  earth.  A  noise  shall  come  even  to  the  end  of 
the  earth ;  for  the  Lord  hath  a  controversy  with  the 
nations,  he  will  plead  with  all  flesh ;  as  for  the  wicked, 
he  will  give  them  to  the  sword,  saith  the  Lord. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  Behold,  evil  shall 
go  forth  from  nation  to  nation,  and  a  great  tempest 
shall  be  raised  up  from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the 

33  earth.  And  the  slain  of  the  Lord  shall  be  at  that 
day  from  one  end  of  the  earth  even  unto  the  other 
end  of  the  earth :  they  shall  not  be  lamented,  neither 
gathered,  nor  buried ;   they  shall  be  dung  upon  the 

34  fece  of  the  ground.  Howl,  ye  shepherds,  and  cry ; 
and  wallow  yourselves  in  ashes,  ye  principal  of  the 
flock :  for  the  days  of  your  slaughter  are  fully  come, 
^and  I  will   break  you  in  pieces,  and  ye  shall  fall 

35  like  a  pleasant  vessel.  And  'the  shepherds  shall 
have  no  way  to  flee,  nor  the  principal  of  the  flock 

36  to  escape.  A  voice  of  the  cry  of  the  shepherds, 
and  the  howling  of  the  principal  of  the  flock !    for 

37  the  Lord  layeth  waste  their  pasture.  And  the 
peaceable  folds  are    brought  to  silence  because  of 

38  the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord.  He  hath  forsaken 
his  covert,  as  the  lion :  for  their  land  is  become  an 
astonishment  because  of  Hhe  fierceness  of  the  op- 
pressing sword,  and  because  of  his  fierce  anger. 

^0  In  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the 
son  of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  came  this  word  from 

2 the  Lord,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  Stand  in 
the  court  of  the  Lord's  house,  and  speak  unto  all 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  which  come  to  worship  in  the 
XiORD's  house,  all  the  words  that  I  command  thee 

3 to  speak  unto  them;  keep  not  back  a  word.  It 
may  oe  they  will  hearken,  and  turn  every  man  from 
his  evil  way;  that  I  may  repent  me  of  the  evil, 
which  I  purpose  to  do  unto  them  because   of  the 

4  evil  of  their  doings.  And  thou  shalt  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  If  ve  will  not  hearken 
to  me,  to  walk  in  my  law,  which  I  have   set   be- 

5  fore  you,  to  hearken  to  the  words  of  my  servants 
the  prophets,  whom  I  send  unto  you,  even  rising  up 
early  and  sending  them,  but  ye  have  not  hearkened ; 

6  then  will  I  make  this  house  like  Shi'loh,  and  will 
make  this  city  a  curse  to  all  the  nations  of  tne  earth. 

7  And  the  priests  and  the  prophets  and  all  the  peo- 

Ele  heard  Jer-e-mi'ah  speaking  these  words  in  the 
ouse  of  the  Lord.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jer-e-mi'ah  had  made  an  end  of  speaking  all  that  the 
Lord  had  commanded  him  to  speak  unto  all  the 
people,  that  the  priests  and  the  prophets  and  all  the 
people  laid  hold  on  him,  saying.  Thou  shalt  surely) 
9  die.  Why  hast  thou  prophesied  in  the  name  of  the' 
Lord,  saying,  This  house  shall  be  like  Shi'loh,  anui 
this  city  shall  be  desolate,  without  inhabitants' 
And  all  the  people  were  gathered  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

10  And  when  the  princes  of  Ju'dah  heard  these  things, 
they  came  up  from  the  king's  house  unto  the  house  of 
the  Lord  ;  and  they  sat  in  the  entry  of  the  new  gate 

11  of  the  Lord's  house.  Then  spake  the  priests  and  the 
prophets  unto  the  princes  and  to  all  the  people,  saying. 
This  man  is  worthy  of  death ;  for  he  hath  prophesied 
against  this  city,  as  ye  have  heard  with  your  ears.

the  people,  saying,  The  Lord  sent  me  to  prophesy  against  this 
house  and  against  this  city  all  the  words  that  ye  have  heard. 

13  Therefore  now  'amend  your  ways  and  your  doings,  and 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God ;  and  the  Lohd  will 
"repent  him  of  the  evil  that  he  hath  pronounced  against  you. 

14  As  for  me,  behold,  "I  am  in  your  hand :  do  with  me 
fas  ^eeffiech  good  and  meet  unto  you. 

15  But  know  ye  for  certain,  that  if  ye  put  me  to  death,  ye 
shall  surely  bring  innocent  blood  upon  yourselves,  and 
upon  this  city,  and  upon  the  inhabitants  thereof:  for  of  a 
truth  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  unto  you  to  speak  all  these 
words  in  your  ears. 

16  ^Then  said  the  princes  and  all  the  people  unto  the 
priests  and  to  the  prophets ;  This  man  is  not  worthy  to  die : 
for  he  hath  spoken  to  us  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

17  "Then  rose  up  certain  of  the  elders  of  the  land,  and 
spake  to  all  the  assembly  of  the  people,  saying, 

•  18  "Mi'cah  the  Mo'ras-thite  prophesied  in  the  days  of  Hez'e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  spake  to  all  the  people  of  Ju'dah, 
.saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  'Zi'on  shall  be 
ploughed  like  a  field,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  become  heaps,  and 
the  mountain  of  the  house  as  the  high  places  of  a  forest. 

19  Did  Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  and  all  Ju'dah  put  him 
at  all  to  death?  'did  he  not  fear  the  Lord,  and  besought 
tthe  Lord,  and  the  Lord  "repented  him  of  the  evil  which 
he  had  pronounced  against  them  ?  'Thus  might  we  procure 
great  evil  against  our  souls. 

20  And  there  was  also  a  man  that  prophesied  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  U-ri'jah  the  son  of  Shem-a-i'ah  of  Kir'jath- 
je'a-rim,  who  prophesied  against  this  city  and  against  this 
land  according  to  all  the  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  ; 

21  And  when  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  king  with  all  his  mighty 
men,  and  all  the  princes,  heard  his  words,  the  king  sought 
to  put  him  to  death :  but  when  U-ri'jah  heard  it,  he  was 
afraid,  and  fled,  and  went  into  E'gypt ; 

22  And  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  king  sent  men  into  E'gypt,  namely, 
El'na-than  the  son  of  Ach'bor,  and  certain  men  with  him 
into  E'gypt. 

23  And  they  fetched  forth  U-ri'jah  out  of  E'gypt,  and 
brought  him  unto  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  king;  who  slew  him 
with  the  sword,  and  cast  his  dead  body  into  the  graves  of 
the  fcommon  people. 

24  Nevertheless,  "the  hand  of  A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'- 
phan  was  with  Jer-e-mi'ah,  that  they  should  not  give  him 
into  the  hand  of  the  people  to  put  him  to  death. 

CHAPTER  XXVII. 

Th*  subduing  of  the  neighbouring  kings  unto  Neb%schadnezxar. 

IN  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of 
Jo-si'ah  "king  of  Ju'dah  came  this  word  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah 
from  the  Lord,  saying, 

2  Thus  II saith  the  Lord  to  me;  Make  thee  bonds  and 
yokes,  'and  put  them  upon  thy  neck, 

3  And  send  them  to  the  king  of  E'dom,  and  to  the  king  of 
Mo'ab,  and  to  the  king  of  the  Am'mon-ites,  and  to  the 
king  of  Ty'rus,  and  to  the  king  of  Zi'don,  by  the  hand  of 
the  messengers  which  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  Zed-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah; 

4  And  command  them  I|  to  say  unto  their  masters,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  Thus  shall  ye 
say  unto  your  masters; 

5  "I  have  made  the  earth,  the  man  and  the  beast  that  are  upon 
the  ground,  by  my  great  power  and  by  my  outstretched  arm, 
and  ''have  given  it  unto  whom  it  seemed  meet  unto  me. 

6  'And  now  have  I  given  all  these  lands  into  the  hand  of 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar,  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  ■'my  servant ;  and 
"the  beasts  of  the  field  have  I  given  him  also  to  serve  hira. 

7  *And  all  nations  shall  serve  him,  and  his  son,  and  his 
son's  son,  'until  the  very  time  of  his  land  come:  *and  then 
many  nations  and  great  kings  shall  serve  themselves  of  him. 


the  people,  saying,  the  Lord  sent  me  to  prophesy 
against  this  house  and  against  this  city  all  the  words 

13  that  ye  have  heard.  Therefore  now  amend  your  ways 
and  your  doings,  and  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your 
God ;  and  the  Lord  will  repent  him  of  the  evil  that  he 

14  hath  pronounced  against  you.  But  as  for  me, 
behold,   I   am  in    your   hand:    do    with   me  as  is 

15  good  and  right  in  your  eyes.  Only  know  ye  for 
certain  that,  if  ye  put  me  to  death,  ye  shall  bring 
innocent  blood  upon  yourselves,  and  upon  this  city, 
and  upon  the  inhabitants  thereof:  for  of  a  truth  the 
Lord  hath  sent  me  unto   you  to  speak    all    these 

16  words  in  your  ears.  Then  said  the  princes  and  all 
the  people  unto  the  priests  and  to  the  prophets: 
This  man  is  not  worthy  of  death ;  for  he  hath 
spoken  to  us  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

17  Then  rose  up  certain  of  the  elders  of  the  land,  and 
spake   to  all  the  assembly   of  the   people,  saying, 

18  'Mi-ca'iah  the  Mo'rash-tite  prophesied  in  the  days  of 
Hez-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah ;  and  he  spake  to  all  the 
people  of  Ju'dah,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts :  ^Zi'on  shall  be  plowed  as  a  field,  and  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  shall  become  heaps,  and  the  mountain  of  the 

19  house  as  the  high  places  of  a  forest.  Did  Hez-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah  and  all  Ju'dah  put  him  at  all  to  death  ? 
did  he  not  fear  the  Lord,  and  intreat  the  favour  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  Lord  repented  him  of  the  evil 
which  he  had  pronounced  against  them?  Thus 
should  we  commit  great  evil  against  our  own  souls. 

20  And  there  was  also  a  man  that  prophesied  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  U-ri'ah  the  son  of  Shem-a-i'ah  of 
Kir'i-ath-je'a-rim ;  and  he  prophesied  against  this  city 
and  against  this  land  according  to  all  the  words  of 

21  Jer-e-mi'ah :  and  when  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  king,  with  all 
his  mighjy  men,  and  all  the  princes,  heard  his  words, 
the  king  sought  to  put  him  to  death ;  but  when 
U-ri'ah  heard  it,  he  was  afraid,  and  fled,  and  went 

22  into  E'gypt :  and  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  king  sent  men  into 
E'gypt,  namely,  El'na-than  the  son  of  Ach'bor,  and 

23  certain  men  with  him,  into  E'gypt :  and  they  fetched 
forth  U-ri'ah  out  of  E'gypt,  and  brought  him  unto 
Je-hoi'a-kim  the  king;  who  slew  him  with  the  sword, 
and  cast  his  dead  body  into  the  graves  of  the  'common 

24  people.  But  the  hand  of  A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan 
was  with  Jer-e-mi'ah,  that  they  should  not  give  him 
into  the  hand  of  the  people  to  put  him  to  death. 

^/  In  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  ^Je-hoi'a-kim  the 
son  of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  came  this  word  unto 

2Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  to  me:  Make  thee  bands  and  'bars,  and  put 

3  them  upon  thy  neck ;  and  send  them  to  the  king  of 
E'dom,  and  to  the  king  of  Mo'ab,  and  to  the  king  of 
the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  to  the  king  of  Tyre, 
and  to  the  king  of  Zi'don,  by  the  hand  of  the  mes- 
sengers which  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  Zed-e-ki'ah 

4 king  of  Ju'dah;  and  give  them  a  charge  unto  their 
masters,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el :  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  your  masters; 

5 1  have  made  the  earth,  the  man  ami  the  beast  that  are 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth,  by  my  great  jiower  and  by 
my  outstretched  arm ;  and  Igive  it  unto  whomkt  seem- 

6  eth  right  unto  me.  And  now  have  I  given  all  these 
lands  into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  my  servant ;  and  the  beasts  of  the  field  also 

7  have  I  given  him  to  serve  him.  And  all  the  nations 
shall  serve  him,  and  his  son,  and  his  son's  son,  until 
the  time  of  his  own  land  come  :  and  then  many  nations 
and   great  kings   shall    serve   themselves    of   him.

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the  nation  and  kingdom 
which  will  not  serve  the  same  Neb-u-chad'nez-zar  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  and  that  will  not  put  their  neck  under  the  yoke 
of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  that  nation  will  I  punish,  saith  the 
Lord,  with  the  sword,  and  with  the  famine,  and  with  the 
pestilence,  until  I  have  consumedthem  by  his  hand. 

9  Therefore  hearken  not  ye  to  your  prophets,  nor  to  your 
diviners,  nor  to  your  fdreamers,  nor  to  your  enchanters,  nor 
to  your  sorcerers,  which  speak  unto  you,  saying,  Ye  shall 
not  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  : 

10  Tor  they  prophesy  a  lie  unto  you,  to  remove  you  far 
from  your  land ;  and  that  I  should  drive  you  out,  and  ye 
should  perish. 

11  But  the  nations  that  bring  their  neck  under  the  yoke 
of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  serve  him,  those  will  I  let  re- 
main still  in  their  own  laud,  saith  the  Loed  ;  and  they  shall 
till  it,  and  dwell  therein. 

12  ^I  spake  also  to  "Zed-e-ki'ah  kingof  Ju'dah  according 
to  all  these  words,  saying.  Bring  your  necks  under  the 
yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  serve  him  and  his  people, 
and  live. 

13  "Why  will  ye  die,  thou  and  thy  people,  by  the  sword,  by 
the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence,  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
against  the  nation  that  will  not  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  ? 

14  Therefore  hearken  not  unto  the  words  of  the  prophets 
that  speak  unto  you,  saying.  Ye  shall  not  serve  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon :  for  they  prophesy  °a  lie  unto  you. 

15  For  I  have  not  sent  them,  saith  the  Lord,  yet  they 
prophesy  fa  lie  in  my  name;  that  I  might  drive  you  out, 
and  that  ye  might  perish,  ye,  and  the  prophets  that  prophesy 
unto  you. 

16  Also  I  spake  to  the  priest  and  to  all  this  people,  say- 
ing, Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Hearken  not  to  the  words  of 
your  prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you,  saying,  Behold, ''the 
vessels  of  the  Lord's  house  shall  now  shortly  be  brought 
again  from  Bab'y-lon :  for  they  prophesy  a  lie  unto  you. 

17  Hearken  not  unto  them;  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y-loUj 
and  live :  wherefore  should  this  city  be  laid  waste  ? 

18  But  if  they  be  prophets,  and  if  the  word  of  the  Lord 
be  with  them,  let  them  now  make  intercession  to  the  Lord 
of  hosts  that  the  vessels  which  are  left  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  the  house  of  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  go  not  to  Bab'y-lon. 

19  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts  'concerning  the 
pillars,  and  concerning  the  sea,  and  concerning  the  bases, 
and  concerning  the  residue  of  the  vessels  that  remain  in 
this  city, 

20  Which  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  took  not, 
when  he  carried  away  ''captive  Jec-o-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'- 
a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  all 
the  nobles  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 

21  Yea,  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
concerning  the  vessels  that  remain  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  in  the  house  of  the  king  of  Ju'dah  and  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 

22  They  shall  be  'carried  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  there  shall  they 
be  until  the  day  that  I  'visit  them,  saith  the  Lord;  then 
"will  I  bring  them  up,  and  restore  them  to  this  place. 

CHAPTER    XXVIII. 

Hananiah  prophesieth  the  return  of  the  vessels  and  of  Jeconiah. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass  the  same  year,  in  the  beginning  of 
the  reign  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the  fourth 
year,  and  in  the  fifth  month,  that  Han-a^ni'ah  the  son  of 
A'zur  the  prophet,  which  was  of  Gib'e-on,  spake  unto  me  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  in  the  presence  of  the  priests  and 
of  all  the  people,  saying, 

2  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra^^l) 
saying,  I  have  broken  ''the  yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon. 

3  "Within  ftwo  full  years  will  I  bring  again  into  this 
place  all  the  vessels  of  the  Lord's  house,  that  Neb-u-chad- 


8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the  nation  and  the  king-

kingof  Bab'y-lon, and  thatwill  not  puttheir  neck  under 
the  yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  that  nation  will  I 
punish,  saith  the  Lord,  with  the  sword,  and  with  the 
famine,  and  with  the  pestilence,  until  I  have  con- 

9  sumed  them  by  his  hand.  But  as  for  you,  hearken 
ye  not  to  your  prophets,  nor  to  your  diviners,  nor  to 
your  dreams,  nor  to  your  soothsayers,  nor  to  your 
sorcerers,  which  speak  unto  you,  saying,  Ye  shall  not 

10  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon :  for  they  prophesy  a  lie 
unto  you,  to  remove  you  far  from  your  land;  and 
that  I  should  drive  you  out  and  ye  should  perish. 

11  But  the  nation  that  shall  bring  their  neck  under  the 
yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  serve  him,  that 
nation  will  I  let  remain  in  their  own  land,  saith  the 
Lord  ;  and  they  shall  till  it,  and  dwell  therein. 

12  And  I  spake  to  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  accord- 
ing to  all  these  words,  saying.  Bring  your  necks 
under  the  yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  serve 

13  him  and  his  people,  and  live.  Why  will  ye  die, 
thou  and  thy  people,  by  the  sword,  by  the  famine, 
and  by  the  pestilence,  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
concerning  the  nation  that  will  not  serve  the  king 

14  of  Bab'y-lon?  And  hearken  not  unto  the  words  of 
the  prophets  that  speak  unto  you,  saying,  Ye  shall 
not  serve  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon :  for  they  prophesy  a 

15  lie  unto  you.  For  I  have  not  sent  them,  saith  the 
Lord,  but  they  prophesy  falsely  in  my  name;  that 
I  might  drive  you  out,  and  that  ye  might  perish,  ye, 

16  and  the  prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you.  Also  I 
spake  to  the  priests  and  to  all  this  people,  saying. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  Hearken  not  to  the  words  of 
your  prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you,  saying.  Be- 
hold, the  vessels  of  the  Lord's  house  shall  now 
shortly  be  brought  again  from  Bab'y-lon  :  for  they 

17  prophesy  a  lie  unto  you.  Hearken  not  unto  them; 
serve   the   king   of  Bab'y-lon,  and  live:    wherefore 

18  should  this  city  become  a  desolation?  But  if  they 
be  prophets,  and  if  the  word  of  the  Lord  be  with 
them,  let  them  now  make  intercession  to  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  that  the  vessels  which  are  left  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  house  of  the  king  of  Ju'dah, 

19  and  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  go  not  to  Bab'y-lon.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts  concerning  the  -pillars,  and 
concerning  the  sea,  and  concerning  the  bases,  and 
concerning  the  residue  of  the  vessels  that  are  left  in 

20  this  city,  which  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
took  not,  when  he  carried  away  captive  Jec-o-ni'ah 
the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  king  of  Ju'dah,  from  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem to  Bab'y-lon,  and  all   the   nobles  of  Ju'dah 

21  and  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  yea,  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hostSj 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  concerning  the  vessels  that  are 
left  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  house  of 

22  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  :  They  shall 
be  carried  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  there  shall  they  be,  until 
the  day  that  I  visit  them,  saith  the  Lord  ;  then  will 
I  bring  them  up,  and  restore  them  to  this  place. 

^O  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same  year,  in  the  begin- 
ning of  the  reign  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the 
fourth  year,  in  the  fifth  month,  that  Han-a-ni'ah  the 
son  of  Az'zur  the  prophet,  which  was  of  Gib'e-on, 
spake  unto  me  in  the  house  of  the  Lord  in  the  pres- 

2ence  of  the  priests  and  of  all  the  people,  saying,. Thus 
speaketh.  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  say- 
ing, I  have  broken  the  yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon. 

3  Within  two  full  years  will  I  bring  again  into  this  place 
all  the  vessels  of  the  Lord's  house,  that  Neb-u-chad-

nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  took  away  from  this  place,  and 
carried  them  to  Bab'y-lon: 

4  And  I  will  bring  again  to  this  place  Jec-o-ni'ah  the  son 
of  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah,  with  all  the  feaptives  of 
Ju'dah,  that  went  into  Bab'y-lon,  saith  the  Lord;  for  I 
will  break  the  yoke  of  the  king  Bab'y-lon. 

5  ^Then  the  prophet  Jer-e-rai'ah  said  unto  the  prophet 
Han-a-ni'ah  in  the  presence  of  the  priests,  and  in  the  pres- 
ence of  all  the  people  that  stood  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

6  Even  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah  said,  ''Amen :  the  IjORD 
do  so :  the  iX)RD  perform  thy  words  which  thou  hast  proph- 
esied, to  bring  again  the  vessels  of  the  Lord's  house,  and  all 
that  is  carried  away  captive,  from  Bab'y-lon  into  this  place. 

7  Nevertheless,  hear  thou  now  this  word  that  I  speak  in 
thine  ears,  and  in  the  ears  of  all  the  people ; 

8  The. prophets  that  have  been  before  me  and  before  thee 
of  old  prophesied  both  against  many  countries,  and  against 
great  kingdoms,  of  war,  and  of  evil,  and  of  pestilence. 

9  'The  prophet  which  prophesieth  of  peace,  when  the 
word  of  the  prophet  shall  come  to  pass,  then  shall  the 
prophet  be  known,  that  the  Lord  hath  truly  sent  him. 

10  ^Then  Han-a-ni'ah  the  prophet  took  the  -^yoke  from 
off  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah's  neck,  and  brake  it. 

11  And  Han-a-ni'ah  spake  in  the  presence  of  all  the 
people,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Even  so  will  I  break 
the  yoke  of  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  "from  the 
neck  of  all  nations  within  the  space  of  two  full  years.  And 
the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah  went  his  way. 

12  iJThen  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah 
the  prophet,  after  that  Han-a-ni'ab  the  prophet  had  broken 
the  yoke  from  off  the  neck  of  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

13  Go  and  tell  Han-a-ni'ah,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Thou  hast  broken  the  yokes  of  wood ;  but  thou  shalt  make 
for  them  yokes  of  iron. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ; 
*I  have  put  a  yoke  of  iron  upon  the  neck  of  all  these 
nations,  that  they  may  serve  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of 
Bab'y-lon ;  and  they  shall  serve  him :  and  •!  have  given 
him  the  beasts  of  the  field  also. 

15  ^Then  said  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  Han-a-ni'ah 
the  prophet.  Hear  now,  Han-a-ni'ah ;  The  Lord  hath  not 
sent  thee ;  but  *thou  makest  this  people  to  trust  in  a  lie. 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord;  Behold,  I  will  cast 
thee  from  off  the  face  of  the  earth :  this  year  thou  shalt  die, 
because  thdu  hast  taught  'frebellion  against  the  Lord. 

17  So  Han-a-ni'ah  the  prophet  died  the  same  year  in  the 
seventh  month. 

CHAPTER   XXIX. 

Jeremiah  sendeth  a  letter  to  the  captives  in  Babylon. 

OW  these  are  the  words  of  the  letter  that  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  sent  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the  residue  of  the 
elders  which  were  carried  away  captives,  and  to  the  priests,and 
to  the  prophets,  and  to  all  the  people  whom  Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar had  carried  away  captive  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Bab'y-lon  : 

2  (After  that  "Jec-o-ni'ah  the  king,  and  the  queen,  and  the 
II eunuchs,  the  princes  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the 
carpenters,  and  the  smiths,  were  departed  from  Je-ru'sa-lem ;) 

3  Bythehandof  El'a-sah  the  son  of  Sha'phan,and  Gem-a-ri'ah 
the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  (whom  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  sent 
unto  Bab'y-lon  to  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  kingof  Bab'y-lon,)  saying, 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  unto 
all  that  are  carried  away  captives,  whom  I  have  caused  to 
be  carried  away  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  Bab'y-lon ; 

5  'Build  ye  houses,  and  dwell  in  them;  and  plant  gardens, 
and  eat  the  fruit  of  them ; 

6  Take  ye  wives,  aud  beget  sons  and  daughters;  and  take 
wives  for  your  sons,  and  give  your  daughters  to  husbands, 
that  they  may  bear  sons  and  daughters;  that  ye  may  be 
increased  there,  and  not  diminished. 


w 


nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  took  away  from  this  place, 

4  and  carried  them  to  Bab'y-lon :  and  I  will  bring 
again  to  this  place  Jec-o-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-kim, 
king  of  Ju'dah,  with  all  the  captives  of  Ju'dah, 
that  went  to  Bab'y-lon,  saith  the  Lord  :  for  I  will 

5  break  the  yoke  of  the  king  of  Bab'ylon.  Then  the 
prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  the  prophet  Han-a-ni'ah 
in  the  presence  of  the  priests,  and  in  the  presence  of 
all  the  people  that  stood  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 

6  even  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah  said,  Amen :  the  Lord  do 
the  Lord  perform  thy  words  which  thou  hast 


so: 


prophesied,  to  bring  again  the  vessels  of  the  Lord's 
house,  and  all  them  of  the  captivity,  from  Bab'y-lon 

7  unto  this  place.  Nevertheless  hear  thou  now  this 
word  that  I  speak  in  thine  ears,  and  in  the  ears  of 

8  all  the  people :  The  prophets  that  have  been  before 
me  and  before  thee  of  old  prophesied  against  many 
countries,  and  against  great  kingdoms,  of  war,  and 

9  of  evil,  and  of  pestilence.  The  prophet  which 
prophesieth  of  peace,  when  the  word  of  the  prophet 
shall  come  to  pass,  then  shall  the  prophet  be  known, 

10  'that  the  Lord  hath  truly  sent  him.  Then  Han-a-ni'ah 
the  prophet  took  the  bar  from  off  the  prophet  Jer-e- 

1 1  mi'ah's  neck,  and  brake  it.  And  Han-a-ni'ah  spake  in 
the  presence  of  all  the  people,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  :  Even  so  will  I  break  the  yoke  of  Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  within  two  full  years  from 
off  the  neck  of  all  the   nations.     And  the  prophet 

12  Jer-e-mi'ah  went  his  way.  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  after  that  Han-a-ni'ah  the  prophet 
had  .broken  the  bar  from  off  the  neck  of  the  prophet 

13  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying.  Go,  and  tell  Han-a-ni'ah,  saying. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  Thou  hast  broken  the  bars 
of  wood ;  but  thou  shalt  make  in  their  stead  bars  of 

14  iron.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el :  I  have  put  a  yoke  of  iron  iipon  the  neck  of 
all  these  nations,that  they  may  serve  Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar king  of  Bab'y-lon;  and  they  shall  serve  him :  and 

151  have  given  him  the  beasts  of  the  field  also.-  Then 
said  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  Han-a-ni'ah  the 
prophet.  Hear  now,  Han-a-ni'ah ;  the  Lord  hath  not 
sent  thee ;  but  thou  makest  this  people  to  trust  in  a 

16  lie.  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will 
send  thee  away  from  off  the  face  of  the  earth :  this 
year  thou  shalt  die,  because  thou   hast  spoken  re- 

17bellionagain.stthe  Lord.  So  Han-a-ni'ah  the  prophet 
died  the  same  year  in  the  seventh  month. 

«v  Now  these  are  the  words  of  the  letter  that  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  the  prophet  sent  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the 
residue  of  the  elders  of  the  captivity,  and  to  the 
priests,  and  to  the  prophets,  and  to  all  the  people, 
whom  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  had  carried  away  captive 

2  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Bab'y-lon:  (afterthat  Jec-o-ni'ah  the 
king,  and  the  queen-mother,  and  the  eunuchs,  and 
the  princes  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  crafts- 
men,and  the  smiths, were  departed  from  Je-ru'sa-lem;) 

3  by  the  hand  of  El'a-sah  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  and 
Gem-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Hil-ki'ah,  (whom  Zed-e-ki'ah  king 
of  J  u'dah  sent  unto  Bab'y-lon  to  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king 

4  of  Bab'y-lon^  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  all  the  captivity,  whom  I 
have  caused  to  be  carried  away  captive  from  Je-ru'- 

5  sa-lem  unto  Bab'y-lon  :  Build  ye  houses  and  dwell  in 
them ;  and  plant  gardens,  and  eat  the  fruit  of  them ; 

6  take  ye  wives,  and  beget  sons  and  daughters ;  and 
take  wives  for  your  sons,  and  give  your  daughters  to 
husbands,  that  they  may  bear  sons  and  daughters; 
and    multiply    ye   there,   and    be    hot   diminished.

7  And  seek  the  peace  of  the  city  whither  I  have  caused 
you  to  be  carried  away  captives,  "^and  pray  unto  the  Lord 
for  it :  for  in  the  peace  thereof  shall  ye  have  peace. 

8  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el; 
Let  not  your  prophets  and  your  diviners,  that  be  in  the 
midst  of  you,  ''deceive  you,  neither  hearken  to  your  dreams 
which  ye  cause  to  be  dreamed. 

9  'For  they  prophesy  ffelsely  unto  you  in  my  name :  I 
have  not  sent  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  That  •'after  seventy  years  be 
accomplished  at  Bab'y-lon  I  will  visit  you,  and  perform  my 
good  word  toward  you,  in  causing  you  to  return  to  this  place. 

11  For  I  know  the  thoughts  that  I  think  toward  you,  saith 
the  Lord,  thoughts  of  peace,  and  not  of  evil,  to  give  you 
an  fexpected  end. 

12  Then  shall  ye  "call  upon  me,  and  ye  shall  go  and  pray 
unto  me,  and  I  will  hearken  unto  you. 

13  And  *ye  shall  seek  me,  and  find  me,  when  ye  shall 
search  for  me  'with  all  your  heart. 

14  And  *I  will  be  found  of  you,  saith  the  LoRD:  and  I 
will  turn  away  your  captivity,  and  'I  will  gather  you  from 
all  the  nations,  and  from  all  the  places  whither  I  have  driven 
you,  saith  the  Lord  ;  and  I  will  bring  you  again  into  the 
place  whence  I  caused  you  to  be  carried  away  captive. 

15  ^Because  ye  have  said,  The  Lord  hath  raised  us  up 
prophets  in  Bab'y-lon ; 

16  Know  that  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  the  king  that  sitteth 
upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid,  and  of  all  the  people  that  dwelleth 
in  this  city,  and  of  your  brethren  that  are  not  gone  forth 
with  you  into  captivity ; 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  Behold,  I  will  send  upon 
them  the  ""sword,  the  famine,  and  the  pestilence,  and  will  make 
them  like  "vile  figs,  that  cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so  evil. 

18  And  I  will  persecute  them  with  the  sword,  with  the 
famine,  and  with  the  pestilence,  and  "will  deliver  them  to  be 
removed  to  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth,  fto  be  "a.  curse, 
and  an  astonishment,  and  a  hissing,  and  a  reproach,  among 
all  the  nations  whither  I  have  driven  them : 

19  Because  they  have  not  hearkened  to  my  words,  saith 
the  Lord,  which  'I  sent  unto  them  by  my  servants  the 
prophets,  rising  up  early  and  sending  them;  but  ye  would 
not  hear,  saith  the  Lord. 

20  ^Hear  ye  therefore  the  word  of  the  Lord,  all  ye  of  the 
captivity,  whom  I  have  sent  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Bab'y-lon. 

21  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is-ra'el,  of 
A'hab  the  son  of  Kol-a-i'ah,  and  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of 
Ma-a-se'iah,  which  prophesy  a  lie  unto  you  in  my  name ;  Be- 
hold, I  will  deliver  them  into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon ;  and  he  shall  slay  them  before  your  eyes ; 

22  'And  of  them  shall  be  taken  up  a  curse  by  all  the 
captivity  of  Ju'dah  which  are  in  Bab'y-lon,  saying.  The 
Lord  make  thee  like  Zed-e-ki'ah  and  like  A'hab,  "whom  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  roasted  in  the  fire; 

23  Because  they  have  committed  villany  in  Is'ra-el,  and 
have  committed  adultery  with  their  neighbours'  wives,  and 
have  spoken  lying  words  in  my  name,  which  I  have  not 
commanded  them;  even  I  know,  and  am  a  witness,  saith 
the  Lord. 

24  %Thus  shalt  thou  also  speak  to  Shem-a-i'ah  the  ||Ne- 
hel'a-mite,  saying, 

25  Thua  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
saying.  Because  thou  hast  .sent  letters  in  thy  name  unto  all 
the  people  that  are  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  "and  to  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the 
son  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  priest,  and  to  all  the  priests,  saying, 

26  The  Lord  hath  made  thee  priest  in  the  stead  of  Je-hoi'- 
a-da  the  priest,  that  ye  should  be  ''officers  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  for  every  man  that  is  "mad,  and  maketh  himself 
a  prophet,  that  thou  shouldest  "put  him  in  prison,  and  in 
the  stocks. 


7  And  seek  the  peace  of  the  city  whither  I  have  caused 
you  to  be  carried  away  captive,  and  pray  unto  the 
Lord  for  it :  for  in  the  peace  thereof  shall  ye  have 

8  peace.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el :  Let  not  your  prophets  that  be  in  the  midst  of 
you,  and  your  diviners,  deceive  you,  neither  hearken 
ye  to  your  dreams  which  ye  'cause  to  be  dreamed. 

9  For  they  prophesy  falsely  unto  you  in  my  name : 
101  have  not  sent  them,  saiih  the  Lord.     For  thus 

saith  the  Lord,  After  seventy  years  be  accom- 
plished for  Bab'y-lon,  I  will  visit  you,  and  perform  my 
good  word  toward  you,  in  causing  you  to  return  to 

11  this  place.  For  I  know  the  thoughts  that  I  think 
toward  you,  saith  the  Lord,  thoughts  of  peace,  and 
not  of  evil,  to  give  you  %ope  in  your  latter  end. 

12  And  ye  shall  call  upon  me,  and  ye  shall  go  and  pray 

13  unto  me,  and  I  will  hearken  unto  you.  And  ye 
shall  seek  me,  and  find  me,  when  ye  shall  search  for 

14  me  with  all  your  heart.  And  I  will  be  found  of 
you,  saith  the  Lord,  and  I  will  'turn  again  your 
captivity,  and  I  will  gather  you  from  all  the  nations, 
and  from  all  the  places  whither  I  have  driven  you, 
saith  the  Lord;  and  I  will  bring  you  again  unto 
the  place  whence  I  caused  you  to  be   carried  away 

15  captive.     For  ye  have  said.  The  Lord  hath  raised 

16  us  up  prophets  in  Bab'y-lon.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  concerning  the  king  that  sitteth  upon  the 
throne  of  Da'vid,  and  concerning  all  the  people  that 
dwell  in  this  city,  your  brethren  that  are  not  gone 

17 forth  with  you  into  captivity;  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts :  Behold,  I  will  send  upon  them  the  sword, 
the  famine,  and  the  pestilence,  and  will  make  them 
like  vile  figs,  that  cannot  be  eaten,  they  are  so  bad. 

18  And  I  will  pursue  after  them  with  the  sword,  with 
the  famine,  and  with  the  pestilence,  and  will  deliver 
them  to  be  Hossed  to  and  fro  among  all  the  king- 
doms of  the  earth,  to  be  an  execration,  and  an 
astonishment,  and  an  hissing,  and  a  reproach,  among 

19 all  the  nations  whither  I  have  driven  them:  because 
they  have  not  hearkened  to  my  words,  saith  the 
Lord,  wherewith  I  sent  unto  them  my  servants  the 
prophets,  rising  up  early  and  sending  them;  but  ye 

20  would  not  hear,  saith  the  Lord.  Hear  ye  therefore 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  all  ye  of  the  captivity,  whom 
I  have  sent   away  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Bab'y-lon. 

21  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
concerning  A'hab  the  son  of  Kol-a-i'ah,  and  concerning 
Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah,  which  prophesy  a 
lie  unto  you  in  my  name :  Behold,  I  will  deliver  them 
into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon; 

22  and  he  shall  slay  them  before  your  eyes ;  and  of  them 
shall  be  taken  up  a  curse  by  all  the  captives  of  Ju'dah 
which  are  in  Bab'y-lon,  saying.  The  Lord  make  thee 
like  Zed-e-ki'ah  and  like  A'hab,whom  the  king  of  Bab'- 

23  y-lon  roasted  in  the  fire :  because  they  have  wrought 
folly  in  Is'ra-el,  and  have  committed  adultery  with  their 
neighbours'  wives,  and  have  spoken  words  in  my 
name  falsely,  which  I  commanded  them  not;  and  I 
am  he  that  knoweth,  and  am  witness,  saith  the  Lord. 

24  And^'concerning  Shem-a-i'ah  the  Ne-hel'a-mite  thou 

25  shalt  speak,  saying,  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  say  ing,  Because  thou  hast  sent  letters 
in  thine  own  name  untoall  the  people  that  are  at  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  and  to  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  priest, 

26  and  to  all  the  priests,  saying,The  Lord  hath  made  thee 
priest  in  the  stead  of  Je-hoi'a-da  the  priest,  that  ye  should 
be  officers  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  for  every  man 
that  is  mad,  and  maketh  himself  a  prophet,  that  thou 
shouldest  put  him  in  the  stocks  ana  in  ^shackles.

27  Now  therefore  why  hast  thou  not  reproved  Jer-e-mi'ah 
of  An'a-thoth,  which  maketh  himself  a  prophet  to  you  ? 

28  For  therefore  he  sent  uuto  us  in  Bab'y-lon,  saying,  This 
captivity  is  long :  "build  ye  houses,  and  dwell  in  them ;  and 
plant  gardens,  and  eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

29  And  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  priest  read  this  letter  in  the  ears 
of  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet. 

30  ^Then  came  the  word  of.the  Lobd  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  .saying, 

31  Send  to  all  them  of  the  captivity,  saying,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  concerning  Shem-a-i'ah  the  Ne-hel'a-mite ;  Because 
that  Shem-a-i'ah  hath  prophesied  unto  you,  ''and  I  sent  him 
not,  and  he  caused  you  to  trust  in  a  lie : 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord;  Behold,  I  will  punish 
Shem-a-i'ah  the  Ne-hel'a-mite,  and  his  seed :  he  shall  not  have 
a  man  to  dwell  among  this  people ;  neither  shall  he  behold 
the  good  that  I  will  do  for  my  people,  saith  the  Lord  ;  "be- 
cause he  hath  taught  frebellion  against  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  XXX. 

God  sheweth  Jeremiah  the  return  of  the  Jews. 

THE  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  saying, 
2  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  AVrite 
thee  all  the  words  that  I  have  spoken  unto  thee  in  a  book 

3  For,  lo,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  "I  will  bring 
again  the  captivity  of  my  people  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  saith  the 
Lord  :  ''and  I  will  cause  them  to  return  to  the  land  that  I 
gave  to  their  fathers,  and  they  shall  possess  it. 

4  ^And  these  are  the  words  that  the  Lord  spake  con- 
cerning Is'ra-el,  and  concerning  Ju'dah. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord;  We  have  heard  a  voice  of 
trembling,  ||  of  fear,  and  not  of  peace. 

6  Ask  ye  now,  and  see  whether  fa  man  doth  travail  with 
child?  wherefore  do  I  see  every  man  with  his  hands  on  his 
loins,  'as  a  woman  in  travail,  and  all  faces  are  turned  into 
paleness? 

7  ""Alas !  for  that  day  is  great,  'so  that  none  is  like  it :  it  is 
eventhetime  of  Ja'cob's  trouble,  but  he  shall  be  saved  out  of  it. 

8  For  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  that  I  will  break  his  yoke  from  off  thy  neck,  and 
will  burst  thy  bonds,  and  strangers  shall  no  more  serve 
themselves  of  him : 

9  But  they  shall  serve  the  Lord  their  God,  and-^Da'vid 
their  king,  whom  I  will  'raise  up  unto  them. 

10  ^Therefore  *fear  thou  not,  O  my  servant  Ja'cob,  saith 
the  Lord  ;  neither  be  dismayed,  O  Is'ra-el :  for,  lo,  I  will  save 
thee  from  afar,  and  thy  seed  'from  the  land  of  their  captiv- 
ity ;  and  Ja'cob  shall  return,  and  shall  be  in  rest,  and  be 
quiet,  and  none  shall  make  him  afraid. 

1 1  For  I  am  with  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  to  save  thee;  *though 
I  make  a  full  end  of  all  nations  whither  1  have  scattered  thee, 
^et  will  I  not  make  a  full  end  of  thee :  but  I  will  correct  thee 
"in  measure,  and  will  not  leave  thee  altogether  unpunished. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  "Thy  bruise  is  incurable,  and 
thy  wound  is  grievous. 

13  There  is  none  to  plead  thy  cause,  ftbat  thou  mayest  be 
bound  up:  "thou  hast  no  healing  medicines. 

14  ''All  thy  lovers  have  forgotten  thee;  they  seek  thee 
not;  for  I  have  wounded  thee  with  the  wound «of  an  enemy, 
with  the  chastisement  ""of  a  cruel  one,  for  the  multitude  of 
thine  iniquity ;  'beeaiise  thy  sins  were  increa.sed. 

15  Why  'criest  thou  for  thine  affliction  ?  thy  sorrow  is  in- 
curable for  the  multitude  of  thine  iniquity:  became  thy  sins 
were  increased,  I  have  done  these  things  unto  thee. 

16  Therefore  all  they  that  devour  thee  "shall  be  devoured; 
and  all  thine  adversaries,  every  one  of  them  shall  go  into 
captivity;  and  they  that  spoil  thee  shall  be  a  spoil,  and  all 
that  prey  upon  thee  will  I  give  for  a  prey. 

17  "For  I  will  restore  health  unto  thee,  and  I  will  heal  thee 
of  thy  wounds,  saith  the  Lord  ;  because  they  called  thee  an 
Outcast,  saying,  This  m  Zi'on,  whom  no  man  seeketh  after. 


27  Now  therefore,  why  hast  thou  not  rebuked  Jer-e-mi'ah 
of  An'a-thoth,  which  maketh  himself  a  prophet  to  you, 

28  forasmuch  as  he  hath  seat  unto  us  in  Bab'y-lon,  saying, 
The  captivity  is  long :  build  ye  houses,  and  dwell  in 
them ;  and  plant  gardens,  and  eat  the  fruit  of  them  ? 

29  And  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  priest  read  this  letter  in  the  earsof 

30  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet.     Then  came  the  word  of  the 

31  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying.  Send  to  all  them  ofthe 
captivity,  .saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning 
Shem-a-i'ah  the  Ne-hel'a-mite :  Because  that  Shem-a-i'ah 
hath  prophesied  unto  you,  and  I  sent  him  not,  and  he 

32  hath  cau.sedyou  to  trust  in  a  lie ;  therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  punish  Shem-a-i'ah  the  Ne- 
hel'a-mite,  and  his  seed ;  he  shall  not  have  a  man  to 
dwell  among  this  people,  neither  shall  he  behold  the 
good  that  I  will  do  unto  my  people,  saith  the  Lord  : 
because  he  hath  spoken  rebellion  against  the  Lord. 

vV      The  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 

2  saying,  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
saying.   Write    thee    all    the    words   that    I     have 

3  spoken  unto  thee  in  a  book.  For,  lo,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  'turn  again  the 
captivity  of  my  people  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah,  saith  the 
Lord  :  and  I  will  cause  them  to  return  to  the  land 
that  I  gave  to  their  fathers,  and  they  shall  possess  it. 

4  And  these  are  the  words  that   the    Lord  spake 

5  concerning  Is'ra-el  and  concerning  Ju'dah.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord  :  We  have  heard  a  voice  of  trembling, 

6^of  fear,  and  not  of  peace.  Ask  ye  now,  and  see 
whether  a  man  doth  travail  with  child:  wherefore 
do  I  see  every  man  with  his  hands  on  his  loins,  a? 
a  woman  in  travail,  and  all  faces  are  turned    into 

7 paleness?  Alas!  for  that  day  is  great,  so  that  none 
IS  like  it:  it  is  even  the  time  of  Ja'cob's  trouble;  but 

8  he  shall  be  saved  out  of  it.     And  it  shall  come  to 

Eass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  I  will 
reak  his  yoke  from  off  thy  neck,  and  will  burst  thy 
bands ;    and  strangers  shall  no  more  serve  themselves 

9  of  him :  but  they  shall  serve  the  Lord  their  God,  and 
Da'vid  their  king,  whom  I  will  raise  up  unto  them. 

10  Therefore  fear  thou  not,  O  Ja'cob  my  servant,  saith 
the  Lord  ;  neither  be  dismayed,  O  Is'ra-el:  for,  lo,  I 
will  save  thee  from  afar,  and  thy  seed  from  the  land 
of  their  captivity ;  and  Ja'cob  shall  return,  and  shall 
be  quiet  and  at  ease,  and  none  shall  make  him  afraid. 

11  For  I  am  with  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  to  save  thee: 
for  I  will  make  a  full  end  of  all  the  nations  whither 
I  have  scattered  thee,  but  I  will  not  make  a  full  end 
of  thee;  but  I  will  correct  thee  with  judgement,  and 
will  in  no  wise  'leave  thee -unpunished. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Thy  hurt  is  incurable, 

13  and  thy  wound  grievous.  There  is  none  to  plead 
■•thy  cause,  "that  thou   mayest  be   bound   up:  thou 

14  hast  no  healing  medicines.  All  thy  lovers  have  or- 
gotten  thee ;  they  seek  thee  not :  for  I  have  wounoed 
thee  with  the  wound  of  an  enemy,  with  the  chastise- 
ment of  a  cruel  one ;  for  the  'greatness  of  ttino  in- 

ISiquity,  because  thy  sins  were  increased.  Why  criest 
thou  'for  thy  hurv  ?  thy  pain  is  incurable :  for  the  'great- 
ness of  thine  iniquity,  because  thy  sins  weraincreased, 

161  have  done  these  things  unto  thee.  Therefore  all  they 
tliat  devour  thee  shall  be  devoured ;  and  all  thine  ad- 
versaries, every  one  of  them,  shall  go  into  captivity  ; 
and  they  that  spoil  thee  shall  be  a  spoil,  and  all  that 

17  prey  upon  thee  will  I  give  for  a  prey.  For  I  will  restore 
'health  unto  thee,  and  I  will  heal  thee  of  thy  wounds, 
saith  the  Lord  ;  because  they  have  called  thee  an  out- 
cast, saying,  It  is  Zi'on,  whom  no  man  'seeketh  afber.

and  the  jjalace  shall  remain  after  the  manner  thereof. 

19  And  "out  of  them  shall  proceed  thanksgiving  and  the 
voice  of  them  that  make  merry :  ''and  I  will  multiply  them, 
and  they  shall  not  be  few ;  I  will  also  glorify  them,  and  they 
shall  not  be  small. 

20  Their  children  also  shall  be  "as  aforetime,  and  their 
congregation  shall  be  established  before  me;  and  I  will 
punish  all  that  oppress  them. 

21  And  their  nobles  .shall  be  of  themselvei  -  ''and  their  gover- 
nor shall  proceed  from  the  midst  of  them;  ana  I  will  'cause  him 
to  draw  near,  and  he  shall  approach  unto  me  :  for  who  is  this 
that  engaged  his  heart  to  approach  unto  me?  saith  the  Lord. 

22  And  ye  shall  be-'^my  people,  and  I  will  be  your  God. 

23  Behold,  the  "whirlwind  of  the  Lord  goeth  forth  with 
fury,  a  fcontinuing  whirlwind :  it  shall  ||  fall  with  pain  upon 
the  head  of  the  wicked. 

24  The  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  shall  not  return  "until  he 
have  done  it,  and  until  he  have  performed  the  intents  of  his 
heart :  *in  the  latter  days  ye  shall  consider  it. 

CHAPTER    XXXI. 

The  restoration  of  Israel — Christ  is  promised. 

AT  *the  same  time,  saith  the  Lord,  'will  I  be  the  God  of 
all  the  families  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  shall  be  my  people. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  people  which  were  left  of  the 
sword  found  grace  in  the  wilderness;  even  Is'ra-el,  when  "I 
went  to  cause  him  to  rest. 

3  The  Lord  hath  appeared  fof  old  unto  me,  saying,  Yea, 
''I  have  loved  thee  with  'an  everlasting  love :  therefore 
II  with  lovingkindness  have  I-'^drawn  thee. 

4  Again  "I  will  build  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  built,  O  virgin 
of  Is'ra-el ;  thou  shalt  again  be  adorned  with  thy  *||  tabrets, 
and  shalt  go  forth  in  the  dances  of  them  that  make  merry. 

5  *Thou  shalt  yet  plant  vines  upon  the  mountains  of 
Sa-ma'ri-a:  the  planters  shall  plant,  and  shall  feat  them  as 
common  things. 

6  For  there  shall  be  a  day,  that  the  watchmen  upon  the 
mount  E'phra-im  shall  cry,  *Arise  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to 
Zi'on  unto  the  Lord  our  God. 

7  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  'Sing  with  gladness  for  Ja'cob, 
and  shout  among  the  chief  of  the  nations :  publish  ye,  praise 
ye,  and  say,  O  Lord,  save  thy  people,  the  remnant  of  Is  ra-el. 

8  Behold,  I  will  bring  them  ""from  the  north  country,  and 
"gather  them  from  the  coasts  of  the  earth,  and  with  them 
the  blind  and  the  lame,  the  woman  with  child  and  her  that 
travaileth  with  child  together :  a  great  company  shall  return 
thither. 

9  "They  shall  come  with  weeping,  and  with  ||  supplications 
will  I  lead  them ;  I  will  cau.se  them  to  walk  "by  the  rivers 
of  waters  in  a  straight  way,  wherein  they  shall  not  stumble : 
for  I  am  a  father  to  Is'ra-el,  and  E'phra-im  is  my  'firstborn. 

10  ^Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  ye  nations,  and  declare 
it  in  the  isles  afar  off,  and  say.  He  that  scattered  Is'ra-el  'will 
gather  him,  and  keep  him,  as  a  shepherd  doth  his  flock. 

11  For  'the  Lord  hath  redeemed  Ja'cob,  and  ransomed 
him  'from  the  hand  of  him  that  was  stronger  than  he. 

12  Therefore  they  shall  come  and  sing  in  "the  height  of 
Zi'on,  and  shall  flow  together  to  ''the  goodness  of  the  Lord, 
for  wheat,  and  for  wine,  and  for  oil,  and  for  the  young  of 
the  flock  and  of  the  herd:  and  their  soul  shall  be  as  a 
"watered  garden ;  'and  they  shall  not  sorrow  any  more  at  all. 

13  Then  shall  the  virgin  rejoice  in  the  dance,  both  young 
men  and  old  together,  for  I  will  turn  their  mourning  into 
joy,  and  will  comfort  them,  and  make  them  rejoice  from 
their  sorrow. 

14  And  I  will  satiate  the  soul  of  the  priest  'with  fatness,  and 
my  people  shall  be  satisfied  with  my  goodness,  saith  the  Lord. 


18 Thus  saith  the  Lord:  Behold,  I  will  'turn  again  the 
captivity  of  Ja'cob's  tents,  and  have  compassion  on  his 
dwelling  places ;  and  the  city  shall  be  builded  upon 
her  own  4ieap,  and  the  place  shall  'remain  after  the 

19  manner  thereof.  And  out  of  them  shall  proceed 
thanksgiving  and  the  voice  of  them  that  make  merry : 
and  I  will  multiply  them,  and  they  shall  not  be  few;  I 
will  also  glorify  them,  and  they  shall  not  be  small. 

20  Their  children  also  shall  be  as  aforetime,  and  their  con- 
gregation shall  be  established  before  me,  and  I  will 

21  punish  all  that  oppress  them.  And  their  prince  shall 
be  of  themselves,  and  their  ruler  shall  proceed  from  the 
midst  of  them :  and  I  will  cause  him  to  draw  near,  and 
he  shall  approach  unto  me :  for  who  is  he  that  *hath 
had  boldness  to  approach  unto  me?  saith  the  Lord. 

22  And  ye  shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be  your  God. 

23  'Behold,  the  tempest  of  the  Lord,  even  his  fury,  is 
gone  forth,  a  "sweeping  tempest :  it  shall  burst  upon 

24  the  head  of  the  wicked.  The  fierce  anger  of  the 
Lord  shall  not  return,  until  he  have  executed,  and 
till  he  have  performed  the  intents  of  his  heart:  in 
the  latter  days  ye  shall  understand  it. 

0+  At  that  time,  saith  the  Lord,  will  I  be  the  God  of 
all  the  femilies  of  Is'ra-el,  and  they  shall  be  my  people. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  people  which  were  left  of 
the  sword  %und  grace  in  the  wilderness ;  even  Is'ra-el 

3  *when  I  went  to  cause  him  to  rest.  The  Lord  appeared 
'of  old  unto  me,  8aying,Yea.,  I  have  loved  thee  with  an 
everlasting  love:  therefore  '"with  lovingkindness  have 

4 1  drawn  thee.  Again  will  I  build  thee,  and  thou  shalt 
be  built,  O  virgin  of  Is'ra-el :  again  shalt  thou  be 
adorned  with  thy  tabrets,  and  shalt  go  forth  in  the 

5  dances  of  them  that  make  merry.  Again  shalt  thou 
plant  vineyards  upon  the  mountains  of  Sa-ma'ri-a :  the 
planters  shall  plant,  and  shall  "enjoy  the  fruit  thereof. 

6  For  there  shall  be  a  day,  that  the  watchmen  upon 
the  hills  of  E'phra-im  shall  cry,  Arise  ye,  and  let  us 

7  go  up  to  Zi'on  unto  the  Lord  our  God.  For  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Sing  with  gladness  for  Ja'cob,  and 
shout  '^for  the  chief  of  the  nations:  publish  ye, 
praise  ye,  and   say,  O  Lord,  save  thy  people,  the 

8  remnant  of  Is'ra-el.  Behold,  I  will  bring  them  from 
the  north  country,  and  gather  them  fi-om  the  utter- 
most parts  of  the  earth,  and  with  them  the  blind  and 
the  lame,  the  woman  with  child  and  her  that 
travaileth  with  child  together :    a   great  company 

9  shall  they  return  hither.  They  shall  come  with 
weeping  and  with  supplications  will  I  lead  them:  I 
will  "cause  them  to  walk  by  rivers  of  waters,  in  a 
straight  way  wherein  they  shall  not  stumble :  for  I 
am  a  father  to  I.s' ra-el,  and  E'phra-im  is  my  firstborn. 

10  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  ye  nations,  and  de- 
clare it  in  the  isles  afar  off;  and  say.  He  that  scattered 
Is'ra-el  will  gather  him,  and  keep  him,  as  a  shepherd 

11  doth  his  flock.  For  the  Lord  hath  ransomed  Ja'cob, 
and  redeemed  him  from  the  hand  of  him  that  was 

12  stronger  than  he.  And  they  shall  come  and  sing  in 
the  height  of  Zi'on,  and  shall  flow  together  unto  the 
goodness  of  the  Lord,  to  the  corn,  and  to  the  wine,  and 
to  the  oil,  and  to  the  young  of  the  flock  and  of  the 
herd :  and  their  soul  shall  be  as  a  watered  garden ;  and 

13  they  shall  not  sorrow  any  more  at  all.  Then  shall  the 
virgin  rejoice  in  the  dance,  and  the  young  men  and 
the  old  together :  for  I  will  turn  their  mourning  into 
joy,  and  will  comfort  them,  and  make  them  rejoice 

14  from  their  sorrow.  And  I  will  satiate  the  soul  of 
the  priests  with  fatness,  and  my  people  shall  be

15  ^Thus  saith  the  Lokd;  "A  voice  was  heard  in  ''Ra'mah, 
lamentation,  a7id  bitter  weeping;  Ra'chel  weeping  for  her 
children  refused  to  be  comforted  for  her  children,  because 
"^they  we7'e  not. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Refrain  thy  voice  from  weeping, 
and  thine  eyes  from  tears ;  for  thy  work  shall  be  rewarded, 
saith  the  LoED;  and  ''they  shall  come  again  from  the  land 
of  the  enemy. 

17  And  there  is  hope  in  thine  end,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
thy  children  shall  come  again  to  their  own  border. 

18  ^I  have  surely  heard  E'phra-im  bemoaning  himself 
thris;  Thou  hast  chastised  me,  and  I  was  chastised,  as  a 
bullock  unaccustomed  to  the  yoke:  'turn  thou  me,  and  I 
shall  be  turned;  for  thou  art  the  Lord  my  God. 

19  Surely -'after  that  I  Avas  turned,  I  repented;  and  after 
that  I  was  instructed,  I  smote  upon  my  thigh :  I  was 
ashamed,  yea,  even  confounded,  because  I  did  bear  the 
reproach  of  my  youth. 

20  Is  E'phra-im  my  dear  son?  is  he  a  pleasant  child?  for 
since  I  spake  against  him,  I  do  earnestly  remember  him 
still :  'therefore  my  bowels  fare  troubled  for  him ;  ''I  will 
surely  have  mercy  upon  him,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  Set  thee  up  waymarks,  make  thee  high  heaps:  'set 
thine  heart  toward  the  highway,  even  the  way  which  thou 
wentest :  turn  again,  O  virgin  of  Is'ra-el,  turn  again  to  these 
thy  cities. 

22  51How  long  wilt  thou  *go  about,  O  thou  Hbacksliding 
daughter?  for  the  Lord  hath  created  a  new  thing  in  the 
earth,  A  woman  shall  compass  a  man. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  As 
yet  they  shall  use  this  speech  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah  and  in 
the  cities  thereof,  when  I  shall  bring  again  their  captivity ; 
"The  Lord  bless  thee,  O  habitation  of  justice,  and  "mount- 
ain of  holiness. 

24  And  there  shall  dwell  in  Ju'dah  itself,  and  "in  all  the 
cities  thereof  together,  husbandmen,  and  they  that  go  forth 
with  flocks. 

25  For  I  have  satiated  the  weary  soul,  and  I  have  replen- 
ished every  sorrowful  soul. 

26  Upon  this  I  awaked,  and  beheld;  and  my  sleep  was 
sweet  unto  me. 

27  ^Behold,  the  days  come  saith  the  Lord,  that  "I  will 
sow  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  house  of  Ju'dah  with  the 
seed  of  man,  and  with  the  seed  of  beast. 

28  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  like  as  I  have  'watched 
over  them,  'to  pluck  up,  and  to  break  down,  and  to  throw 
down,  and  to  destroy,  and  to  afflict :  so  will  I  watch  over 
them,  'to  build  and  to  plant,  saith  the  Lord. 

29  'In  those  days  they  shall  say  no  more.  The  fathers  have 
eaten  a  sour  grape,  and  the  children's  teeth  are  set  on  edge. 

30  "But  every  one  shall  die  for  his  own  iniquity :  every  man 
that  eateth  the  sour  grape,  his  teeth  shall  be  set  on  edge. 

31  ^Behold,  the  "days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
make  a  new  covenant  with  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  with 
the  house  of  Ju'dah : 

32  Not  according  to  the  covenant  that  I  made  with  their 
fathers,  in  the  day  that  "1  took  them  by  the  hand  to  bring  them 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  which  my  covenant  they  brake, 
1 1  although  I  was  a  husband  unto  them,  saith  the  Lord  : 

33  'But  this  shall  be  the  covenant  that  I  will  make  with 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el ;  After  those  days,  saith  the  Lord,  "I 
will  put  my  law  in  their  inward  parts,  and  write  it  in  their 
hearts ;  'and  will  be  their  God,  and  they  shall  be  my  people. 

34  And  they  shall  teach  no  more  every  man  his  neigh- 
bour, and  every  man  his  brother,  saying,  Know  the  Lord  : 
for  "they  shall  all  know  me,  from  the  least  of  them  unto 
the  greatest  of  them,  saith  the  Lord  :  for  ''I  will  forgive 
their  iniquity,  and  I  will  remember  their  sin  no  more. 

36  IfThus  saith  the  Lord,  'which   giveth  the  sun  for  a 


15  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  A  voice  is  heard  in  Ra'mah, 
lamentation,  and  bitter  weeping,  Ra'chel  weeping 
for  her  children  :  she  refusetn  to  be   comforted  for 

16 her  children;  because  they  are  not.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord:  Refrain  thy  voice  from  weeping,  and  thine 
eyes  from  tears :  for  thy  work  shall  be  rewarded, 
saith  the  Lord  ;  and  they  shall  come  again  from  the 

17  land  of  the  enemy.  And  there  is  hope  for  thy  latr 
ter  end,  saith  the  Lord  ;  and  thy  children  shall  come 

18  again  to  their  own  border.  I  have  surely  heard 
E'phra-im  bemoaning  himself  thus,  Thou  hast  chas- 
tised me,  and  I  was  cha-stised,  as  a  calf  unaccus- 
tomed  to  the  yoke:  turn   thou   me,  and   I   shall  be 

19 turned;  for  thou  art  the  Lord  my  God.  Surely 
after  that  I  was  turned,  I  repented ;  and  after  that 
I  was  instructed,  I  smote  upon  my  thigh :  I  was 
ashamed,  yea,  even  confounded,  because  I  did  bear 

20  the  reproach  of  my  youth.  Is  E'phra-im  my  dear 
son  ?  is  he  a  pleasant  child  ?  for  as  often  as  I  speak 
against  him,  I  do  earnestly  remember  him  still : 
therefore  my  bowels  'are  troubled  for  him;  I  will 
surely  have  mercy  upon  him,  saith  the  Lord. 

21  Set  thee  up  waymarks,  make  thee  guide-posts : 
set  thine  heart  toward  the  high  way,  even  the  way 
by  which   thou    wentest :    turn   again,  O  virgin    of 

22  Is'ra-el,  turn  again  to  these  thy  cities.  How  long 
wilt  thou  go  hither  and  thither,  O  thou  backsliding 
daughter?  for  the  Lord  hath  created  a  new  thing 
in  the  earth,  A  woman  shall  encompass  a  man. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el : 
Yet  again  shall  they  use  this  speech  in  the  land  of 
Ju'dah  and  in  the  cities  thereof,  when  I  shall  ^bring 
again    their   captivity:    The    Lord   bless   thee,   O 

24  habitation  of  justice,  O  mountain  of  holiness.  And 
Ju'dah  and  all  the  cities  thereof  shall  dwell  therein 
together;  the  husbandmen,  and  they  that  go  about 

25  with  flocks.     For  I   have  satiated  the  weary  soul, 

26  and  every  sorrowful  soul  have  I  replenished.  Upon 
this  I  awaked,  and  beheld ;  and  my  sleep  was  sweet 

27  unto  me.  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  I  will  sow  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  house  of 
Ju'dah  with  the  seed  of  man,  and  with  the  seed  of 

28  beast.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  like  as  I 
have  watched  over  them  to  pluck  up  and  to  break 
down,  and  to  overthrow  and  to  destroy,  and  to  af- 
flict; so   will   I  watch   over  them  to  build  and  to 

29  plant,  saith  the  Lord.  In  those  days  they  shall  say 
no  more.  The  fathers  have  eaten  sour  grapes,  and 

30  the  children's  teeth  are  set  on  edge.  But  every 
one  shall  die  for  his  own  iniquity :  every  man  that 
eateth  the  sour  grapes,  his  teeth  shall  be  set  on  edge. 

31  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
make  a  new  covenant  with  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and 

32  with  the  house  of  Ju'dah :  not  according  to  the  cov- 
enant that  I  made  with  their  fathers  in  the  day  that 
I  took  them  by  the  hand  to  bring  them  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt;  Vhich  my  covenant  they  brake, 
although  I  was  ^an   husband  unto   them,  saith    the 

33  Lord.  But  this  is  the  covenant  that  I  will  make 
with  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  after  those  days,  saith  the 
Lord  ;  I  will  put  my  law  in  their  inward  parts,  and 
in  their  heart  will  I  write  it;  and  I  will   be  their 

34 God,  and  they  shall  be  my  people:  and  they  shall 
teach  no  more  every  man  his  neighbour,  and  every 
man  his  brother,  saying,  Know  the  Lord:  for  they 
shall  all  know  me,  from  the  least  of  them  unto  the 
greatest  of  them,  saith  the  Lord  :  for  I  will  forgive 
their  iniquity,  and  their  sin  will  I  remember  no  more.

CHAPTER    XXXII. 

Jeremiah  imprisoned  by  Zedekiah  for  his  prophecy. 

rpHE  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord  "in 
J-  the  tenth  year  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  kingof  Ju'dah,  which  was 
the  eighteenth  year  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar. 

2  For  then  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  army  besieged  Je-ru'sa- 
lem :  and  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  was  shut  up  Mn  the  court 
of  the  prison,  which  was  in  the  king  of  Ju'dah's  house. 

3  For  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  had  shut  him  up,  saying. 
Wherefore  dost  thou  prophesy,  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 

Behold,  I  will  give  this  city  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  and  he  shall  take  it, 

4  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  ''shall  not  escape  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  but  shall  surely  be  delivered 
into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  shall  speak  with 
him  mouth  to  mouth,  and  his  eyes  shall  behold  his  eyes; 

5  And  he  shall  lead  Zed-e-ki'ah  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  there 
shall  he  be  'until  I  visit  him,  saith  the  Lord,  •'^though  ye 
fight  with  the  Chal'de-ans,  ye  shall  not  prosper? 

6  ^And  Jer-e-mi'ah  said.  The  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

7  Behold,  Ha-nam'e-el,  the  son  of  Shal'lum  thine  uncle, 
shall  come  unto  thee  saying,  Buy  thee  my  field  that  is  in 
An'a-thoth :  for  the  "right  of  redemption  is  thine  to  buy  it. 

8  So  Ha-nam'e-el  mine  uncle's  son  came  to  me  in  the  court 
of  the  prison,  according  to  the  word  of  the  IX)RD,  and  said 
unto  me,  Buy  my  field,  I  pray  thee,  that  is  in  An'a-thoth, 
which  is  in  the  country  of  Ben'ja-min  :  for  the  right  of  in- 
heritance is  thine,  and  the  redemption  is  thine ;  buy  it  for 
thyself.     Then  I  knew  that  this  was  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

9  And  I  bought  the  field  of  Ha-nam'e-el  mine  uncle's  son, 
that  was  in  An'a-thoth,  and  'weighed  him  the  money,  even 

II  seventeen  shekels  of  silver. 

10  And  I  fsubscribed  the  evidence,  and  sealed  it,  and  took 
witnesses,  and  weighed  him  the  money  in  the  balances. 

11  So  I  took  the  evidence  of  the  purchase,  both  that 
which  was  sealed  according  to  the  law  and  custom,  and 
that  which  was  open  : 

12  And  I  gave  the  evidence  of  the  purchase  unto  'Ba'ruch 
the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah,  in  the  sight  of 
Ha-nam'e-el  mine  uncle's  son,  and  in  the  presence  of  the 
'witnes.ses  that  subscribed  the  book  of  the  purchase  before 
all  the  Jews  that  sat  in  the  court  of  the  prison. 

13  And  I  charged  Ba'ruch  before  them,  saying, 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ; 
Take  these  evidences,  this  evidence  of  the  purchase,  both 
which  is  sealed,  and  this  evidence  which  is  open ;  and  put 
them  in  an  earthen  vessel,  that  they  may  continue  many  days. 

1 5  For  thussaith  the  Lord  ofhosts,the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Houses 
and  fields  and  vineyards  'shall  be  possessed  again  in  this  land. 


light  by  day,  and  the  ordinances  of  the  moon  and  of  the 
stars  for  a  light  by  night,  which  'stirreth  up  the  sea, 
that  the  waves  thereof  roar;  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his 

36  name :  If  these  ordinances  depart  from  before  me, 
saith  the  Lord,  then  the  seed  of  Is'ra-el  also  shall  cease 

37  from  being  a  nation  before  me  for  ever.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  :  If  heaven  above  can  be  measured,  and  the 
foundations  of  the  earth  searched  out  beneath,  then 
will  lalsocastoffalltheseedofls'ra-elforallthatthey 

38  have  done,  saith  the  Lord.  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  the  city  shall  be  built  to  the  Lord 
from  the  tower  of  Han'a-nel  unto  the  gate  of  the  corner. 

39  And  the  measuring  line  shall  yet  go  out  straight 
onward  unto  the  hill  Ga'reb,  and  shall  turn  about  unto 

40  Go'ah.  And  the  whole  valley  of  the  dead  bodies,  and 
of  the  ashes,  and  all  the  fields  unto  the  brook  Kid'ron, 
unto  the  corner  of  the  horse  gate  toward  the  east, 
shall  be  holy  unto  the  Lord;  it  shall  not  be  plucked 
up,  nor  thrown  down  any  more  for  ever. 

t5A  The  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord 
in  the  tenth  year  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  which 

2  was  the  eighteenth  year  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar.  Now 
at  that  time  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  army  besieged 
Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  was  shut 
up  in  the  court  of  the  guard,  which  was  in  the  king 

3  of  Ju'dah's  house.  For  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
had  shut  him  up,  saying.  Wherefore  dost  thou  proph- 
esy, and  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold  I  will 
give  this  city  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 

4  and  he  shall  take  it;  and  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
shall  not  escape  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans, 
but  shall  surely  be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  shall  .speak  with  him  mouth 

5  to  mouth,  and  his  eyes  shall  behold  his  eyes ;  and  he 
shall  lead  Zed-e-ki'ah  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  there  shall 
he  be  until  I  visit  him,  saith  the  Lord  :  though  ye 
fight  with  the  Chal-de'ans,  ye  shall  not  prosper? 

6  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  said.  The  word  of  the  Lord  came 

7  unto  me,  saying,  Behold,  Han'a-mel  the  son  of  Shal' 
lum  thine  uncle  shall  come  unto  thee, saying,  Buy  thee 
my  field  that  is  in  An'a-thoth:  for  the  right  of  redemp- 

8tion  is  thine  to  buy  it.  So  Han'a-mel  mine  uncle's  son 
came  to  me  in  the  court  of  the  guard  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  said  unto  me.  Buy  my  field,  I 
pray  thee,  that  is  in  An'a-thoth,  which  is  in  the  land 
of  Ben'ja-min :  for  the  right  of  inheritance  is  thine, 
and  the  redemption  is  thine;  buy  it  for  thyself.  Then  I 

9  knew  that  thiswas  the  word  of  the  Lord.  And  I  bought 
the  field  that  was  in  An'a-thoth  of  Han'a-mel  mine 
uncle's  son,  and  weighed  him  the  money,  even  seven- 

10  teen  shekels  of  silver.  And  I  subscribed  the  deed,  and 
sealed  it,  and  called  witnesses,  and  weighed  him  the 

1 1  money  in  the  balances.  So  I  took  the  deed  of  the 
purchase,  both  that  which  was  sealed  'according  to 

12 the  law  and  custom,  and  that  which  was  open:  and 
I  delivered  the  deed  of  the  purchase  unto  Ba'ruch  the 
son  of  Ne-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Mah-se'iah,  in  the  presence 
of  Han'a-mel  mine  uncle's  son,  and  in  the  presence 
of  the  witnesses  that  subscribed  the  deed  of  the 
purchase,  before  all  the  Jews  that  sat  in  the  court 

13  of  the  guard.     And  I  charged  Ba'ruch  before  them, 

14  saying.  Thus  saith  the  LpRD  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el:  Take  these  deeds,  this  deed  of  the  purchase, 
both  that  which  is  sealed,  and  this  deed  which  is 
open,  and  put  them  in  an  earthen  vessel;  that  they 

15  may  continue  many  days.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Houses  and  fields  and 
vineyards  shall  yet  again  be  bought  in  this  land.

16  ^Now  wiien  I  had  delivered  the  evidence  of  the  pur- 
chase unto  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah,  I  prayed  unto  the 
Loud,  saying, 

17  Ah  Lord  God!  behold,  "Hhou  hast  made  the  heaven 
and  the  earth  by  thy  great  power  and  stretched  out  arm, 
and  "there  is  nothing  ||  too  hard  for  thee : 

18  Thou  shewest  "lovingkindness  unto  thousands,  and 
recompensest  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  into  the  bosom  of 
their  children  after  them :  The  Great,  "The  Mighty  God, 
'The  Lord  of  hosts,  is  his  name ; 

19  'Great  in  counsel,  and  mighty  in  fwork:  for  thine 
'eyes  are  open  upon  all  the  ways  of  the  sons  of  men ;  'to 
give  every  one  according  to  his  ways,  and  according  to  the 
fruit  of  his  doings : 

20  Which  hast  set  signs  and  wonders  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  even  unto  this  day,  and  in  Is'ra-el,  and  among  other 
men;  and  hast  made  thee  "a  name,  as  at  this  day ; 

21  And  "'hast  brought  forth  thy  people  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land 
of  E'gypt  with  signs,  and  with  wonders,  and  with  a  strong 
hand,  and  with  a  stretched  out  arm,  and  with  great  terror; 

22  And  hast  given  them  this  land,  which  thou  didst  swear  to 
their  fathers  to  give  them,  "a  land  flowing  with  milk  and  honey; 

23  And  they  came  in,  and  possessed  it ;  but  'they  obeyed 
not  thy  voice,  neither  walked  in  thy  law;  they  have  done 
nothing  of  all  that  thou  commandedst  them  to  do :  therefore 
thou  hast  caused  all  this  evil  to  come  upon  them. 

24  Behold  the  ||  mounts,  they  are  come  unto  the  city  to 
take  it ;  and  the  city  °is  given  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal- 
de'ans,  that  fight  against  it,  because  of  ''the  sword,  and  of 
the  famine  and  of  the  pestilence:  and  what  thou  hast 
spoken  is  come  to  pass ;  and,  behold,  thou  seest  it. 

25  And  thou  hast  said  unto  me,  O  Lord  God,  Buy  thee 
the  field  for  money,  and  take  witnesses;  Hfor  "the  city  is 
given  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans. 

26  ^Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

27  Behold,  I  am  the  Lord,  the  ''God  of  all  flesh  :  'is  there 
any  thing  "too  hard  for  me  ? 

28  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Behold,  -^I-  will  give 
this  city  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and  into  the  hand 
of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,and  he  shall  take  it. 

29  And  the  Chal-de'ans,  that  fight  against  this  city,  shall 
come  and  'set  fire  on  this  city,  and  burn  it  with  the  houses, 
''upon  whose  roofs  they  have  offered  incense  unto  Ba'al, 
and  poured  out  drink  offerings  unto  other  gods,  to  provoke 
me  to  anger. 

30  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
•have  only  done  evil  before  me  from  their  youth:  for  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  have  only  provoked  me  to  anger  with 
the  work  of  their  hands,  saith  the  Lord. 

31  For  this  city  hath  been  to  me  as  fa  provocation  of  mine 
anger  and  of  my  fury  from  the  day  that  they  built  it  even  unto 
this  day,  *that  I  should  remove  it  from  before  my  face ; 

32  Because  of  all  the  evil  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and 
of  the  children  of  Ju'dah,  which  they  have  done  to  provoke 
me  to  anger,  'they,  their  kings,  their  princes,  their  priests, 
and  their  prophets,  and  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  inhab- 
itants of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

33  And  they  have  turned  unto  me  the  fback,  and  not  the 
face :  though  I  taught  them,  "rising  up  early  and  teaching 
them,  yet  they  have  not  hearkened  to  receive  instruction. 

34  But  they  "set  their  abominations  in  the  house,  which 
is  called  by  my  name,  to  defile  it. 

35  And  they  built  the  high  places  of  Ba'al,  which  are  in  the 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom,  to  ''cause  their  sons  and  their 
daughters  to  pa.ss  through  the  fire  unto  "Mo'lech :  'which  I 
commanded  them  not,  neither  came  it  into  my  mind,  that 
they  should  do  this  abomination,  to  cause  Ju'dah  to  sin. 

36  HAnd  now  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  concerning  this  city,  whereof  ye  say,  'It  shall  be 


16  Now  after  I  had  delivered  the  deed  of  the  pur- 
chase unto  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah,  I  prayed  unto 

17 the  Lord,  saying, Ah  Lord  God!  behold,  thgu  hast 
made  the  heaven  and  the  earth  by  thy  great  power 
and  by  thy  stretched  out  arm;  there  is  nothing  too 

18  'hard  for  thee :  which  shewest  mercy  unto  thousands, 
and  recompensest  the  iniquity  of  the  fethers  into  the 
bosom  of  their  children  after  them :  the  great,  the 

19  mighty  God,  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name :  great 
in  counsel,  and  mighty  in  work :  whose  eyes  are 
open  upon  all  the  ways  of  the  sons  of  men ;  to  give 
every  one  according  to  his  ways,  and  according  to  the 

20  fruit  of  his  doings :  which  didst  set  signs  and  won 
ders  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  even  unto  this  day,  ^both 
in  Is'ra-el  and  among  other  men ;  and  madest  thee  a 

21  name,  as  at  this  day;  and  didst  bring  forth  thy  peo- 
ple Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  with  signs,  and 
with  wonders,  and  with  a   strong   hand,  and  with 

22a  stretched  out  arm,  and  with  great  terror;  and 
gavest  them  this  land,  which  thou  didst  swear  to 
their  fathers  to  give  them,  a  land  flowing  with  milk 

23 and  honey;  and  they  came  in  and  possessed  it;  but 
they  obeyed  not  thy  voice,  neither  walked  in  thy  law ; 
they  have  done  nothing  of  all  that  thou  commandedst 
them  to  do :  therefore  thou  hast  caused  all  this  evil  to 

24  come  upon  them :  behold  the  mounts,  they  are  come 
unto  the  city  to  take  it ;  and  the  city  is  given  into  the 
hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans  that  fight  against  it,  because  of 
the  sword,and  of  the  famine,  and  of  the  pestilence:  and 
what  thou  hast  spoken  is  come  to  pass;  and,  behold, 

25  thou  seest  it.  And  thou  hast  said  unto  me,0  Lord  God, 
Buy  thee  the  field  for  money,  and  call  witnesses;  where- 
as the  city  is  given  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans. 

26  Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah, 

27  saying.  Behold,  I  am  the  Lord,  the  God  of  all  flesh: 
is  there  any  thing  too  hard  for  me  ? 

28  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  :  Behold,  I  will  give 
this  city  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and  into 
the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and 

29  he  shall  take  it :  and  the  Chal-de'ans,  that  fight  against 
this  city,  shall  come  and  set  this  city  on  fire,  and 
burn  it,  with  the  houses,  upon  whose  roofs  they  have 
offered  incense  unto  Ba'al,  and  poured  out  drink  of- 
ferings unto  other  gods,   to  provoke  me  to  anger. 

30  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and  the  children  of  Ju'dah 
have  only  done  that  which  was  evil  in  my  sight  from 
their  youth :  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  have  only 
provoked  me  to  anger  with  the  work  of  their  hands, 

31  saith  the  Lord.  For  this  city  hath  been  ,to  me  a 
provocation  of  mine  anger  and  of  my  fury  from  the 
day  that  they  built  it   even  unto  this  day;   that  I 

32  should  remove  it  from  before  my  face:  because  of  all 
the  evil  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  and  of  the  children 
of  Ju'dah,  which  they  have  done  to  provoke  me  to 
anger,  they  their  kings,  their  princes,  their  priest6,and 
their  prophets,  and  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  in- 

33  habitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  they  have  turned  unto 
me  the  back,  and  not  the  face :  and  though  I  taught 
them,  rising  up  early  and  teaching  them,  yet  they  have 

34  not  hearkened  to  receive  instruction.  But  they  set 
their  abominations  in  the  house  which  is  called  by  my 

35  name,  to  defile  it.  And  they  built  the  high  places  of 
Ba'al,  which  are  in  the  valley  of  the  son  of  Hin'nom, 
to  cause  their  sons  and  their  daughters  to  pass 
through  the  fire  unto  Mo'lech ;  which  I  commanded 
them  not,  neither  came  it  into  my  ^mind,  that  they 
should  do  this  abomination ;  to  cause  Ju'dah  to  sin. 

36  And  now  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el,  concerning  this  city,  whereof  ye  say.  It  is

I  have  driven  them  in  mine  anger,  and  in  my  fury,  and  in

38  And  they  shall  be  "my  people,  and  I  will  be  their  God :

CHAPTER    XXXIII. 

A  gracious  relurn  promised— Christ  the  branch  of  righteousness  promised. 

MOREOVER  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah 
the  second  time,  while  he  was  yet  "shut  up  in  the  court 
of  the  prison,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  the  ''maker  thereof,  the  Lord  that 
formed  it,  to  establish  it ;  H'The  Lord  is  his  name ; 

3  ''Call  unto  me,  and  I  will  answer  thee,  and  shew  thee 
great  and  ||  mighty  things,  which  thou  knowest  not. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  concerning 
the  houses  of  this  city,  and  concerning  the  houses  of  the 
kings  of  Ju'dah,  which  are  thrown  down  by  'the  mounts, 
and  by  the  sword ; 

5  -They  come  to  fight  with  the  Chal-de'ans,  but  it  is  to  fill 
them  with  the  dead  bodies  of  men,  whom  I  have  slain  in 
mine  anger  and  in  my  fury,  and  for  all  whose  wickedness  I 
have  hid  my  face  from  this  city. 

6  Behold,  "I  will  bring  it  health  and  cure,  and  I  will  cure 
them,  and  will  reveal  unto  them  the  abundance  of  peace 
and  truth. 

7  And  *I  will  cause  the  captivity  of  Ju'dah  and  the  cap- 
tivity of  Is'ra-el  to  return,  and  will  build  them,  'as  at  the  first. 

8  And  I  will  ^cleanse  them  from  all  their  iniquity,  whereby 
they  have  sinned  against  me;  and  I  will  'pardon  all  their 
iniquities,  whereby  they  have  sinned,  and  whereby  they 
have  transgressed  against  me. 

9  ^"And  it  shall  be  to  me  a  name  of  joy,  a  praise  and 
an  honour  before  all  the  nations  of  the  earth,  which  shall 
hear  all  the  good  that  I  do  unto  them :  and  they  shall  "fear 
and  tremble  for  all  the  goodness  and  for  all  the  prosperity 
that  I  procure  unto  it. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Again  there  shall  be  heard  in 
this  place,  "which  ye  say  shall  be.  desolate  without  man  and 
without  beast,  even  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  are  desolate,  without  man,  and  without 
inhabitant,  and  without  beast,

of  the  bridegroom,  and  the  voice  of  the  bride,  the  voice  of 
them  that  shall  say,  "Praise  the  Lord  of  hosts :  for  the  Lord 
is  good ;  for  his  mercy  endureth  for  ever :  cmd  of  them  that 
shall  bring  ""the  sacrifice  of  praise  into  the  house  of  the  Lord.

41  Yea,  I  will  rejoice  over  them  to  do  them  good,  and  I 
will  plant  them  in  this  land  ^'assuredly  with  my  whole 

42  heart  and  with  my  whole  soul.  For  thus  .saith  the 
Lord  :  Like  as  I  have  brought  all  this  great  evil  upon 
this  people,  so  will  I  bring  upon  them  all  the  good  that 

43  I  have  promised  them.  And  fields  shall  be  bought

For  •!  will  cause  to  return  tiie  captivity  of  the  land;  as  of 
the  first,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  'Again  in  this  place, 
which  is  desolate  without  man  and  without  beast,  and  in  all 
the  cities  thereof,  shall  be  a  habitation  of  shepherds  causing 
their  flocks  to  lie  down. 

13  "In  the  cities  of  the  mountains,  in  the  cities  of  the  vale, 
and  in  the  cities  of  the  south,  and  in  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min, 
and  in  the  places  about  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  in  the  cities  of  Ju'- 
dah,  shall  the  flocks  "'pass  again  under  the  hands  of  him  that 
telleth  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  "Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  "I  will 

Eerform  that  good  thing  which  I  have  promised  unto  the 
ouse  of  Is'ra-el  and  to  the  house  of  Ju'aah. 

15  ^In  those  days,  and  at  that  time,  will  I  cause  the 
"Branch  of  righteousness  to  grow  up  unto  Da'vid;  and  he 
shall  execute  judgment  and  righteousness  in  the  land. 

16  'In  those  days  shall  Ju'dah  be  saved,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall  dwell  safely ;  and  this  t«  the  name  wherewith  she  shall 
be  called,  fThe  Lord  our  Righteousness. 

17  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord;  fDa'vid  shall  never  "want 
a  man  to  sit  upon  the  throne  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el ; 

18  Neither  shall  the  priests  the  Le'vites  want  a  man  before 
me  to  ''offer  burnt  offerings,  anil  to  kindle  meat  offerings, 
and  to  do  sacrifice  continually. 

1 9  ^  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  'If  ye  can  break  my  covenant 
of  the  day,  and  my  covenant  of  the  night,  and  that  there 
should  not  be  dry  and  night  in  their  season; 

21  Then  may  also  •'^my  covenant  be  broken  with  Da'vid  my 
servant,  that  he  should  not  have  a  son  to  reign  upon  his 
throne ;  and  with  the  Le'vites  the  priests,  my  ministers. 

22  As  "the  host  of  heaven  cannot  be  numbered,  neither 
the  sand  of  the  sea  measured ;  so  will  I  multiply  the  seed 
of  Da'vid  my  servant,  and  the  Le'vites  that  minister  unto  me. 

23  Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
saying, 

24  Considerest  thou  not  what  this  people  have  spoken, 
saying,  ''The  two  families  which  the  Lord  hath  chosen,  he 
hath  even  cast  them  off?  thus  they  have  despised  my 
people,  that  they  should  be  no  more  a  nation  before  them. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  If  'my  covenant  be  not  with  day 
and  night,  and  if  I  have  not  *appointed  the  ordinances  of 
heaven  and  earth; 

26  'Then  will  I  cast  away  the  seed  of  Ja'cob,  and  Da'vid 
my  servant,  so  that  I  will  not  take  any  of  his  seed  to  be 
rulers  over  the  seed  of  A'bra-ham,  I'.saac,  and  Ja'cob :  for  "I 
will  cause  their  captivity  to  return,  and  have  mercy  on  them.

Jeremiah  prophesieth  the  captivity  of  Zedekiah  and  the  city, 

THE  word  which  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 
"when  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  all  his 
army,  and  'all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  fof  his  dominion, 
and  all  the  people,  fought  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  against 
all  the  cities  thereof,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  Go  and  speak 
to  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  tell  him,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  ;  Behold,  °I  will  give  this  city  unto  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  ""he  shall  burn  it  with  fire : 

3  And  'thou  shalt  not  escape  out  of  his  baud,  but  shalt 
surely  be  taken,  and  delivered  into  his  hand;  and  thine 
eyes  shall  behold  the  eyes  of  the  king  of  3ab'y-lon,  and  fhe 
shall  speak  with  thee  mouth  to  mouth,  and  thou  shalt  go 
to  Bab'y-lon. 

4  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah ;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  thee.  Thou  shalt  not  die 
by  the  sword : 

5  But  thou  shalt  die  in  peace :  and  with  -^the  burnings  of 
thy  fathers,  the  former  kings  which  were  before  thee,  "so  shall 


For  I  will  cause  the  captivity  of  the  land  to  return 

12  as  at  the  first,  saith  the  Lord.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts :  Yet  again  shall  there  be  in  this 
place,  which  is  waste  without  man  and  without 
bea.st,  and  in  all  the  cities  thereof,  an  habitation  of 

13  shepherds  causing  their  flocks  to  lie  down.  In  the 
cities  of  the  hill  country,  in  the  cities  of  the  low- 
land, and  in  the  cities  of  the  South,  and  in  the  land  of 
Ben'ja-min, and  in  the  places  about  Je-ru'sa-lem, and  in 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  shall  the  flocks  again  paiss  under 
the  hands  of  him  that  telleth  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  perform  that  good  word  which  I  have  spoken 
concerning  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  concerning  the 

15  house  of  Ju'dah.  In  those  days,  and  at  that  time, 
will  I  cause  a  'Branch  of  righteousness  to  grow  up 
unto  Da'vid;  and  he   shall   execute  judgement  and 

16  righteousness  in  the  land.  In  those  days  shall 
Ju'dah  be  saved,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  dwell  safely : 
and  this  is  the  name  whereby  she  shall  be  called,  ^The 

17  Lord  is  our  righteousness.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  :  'Da'vid  shall  never  want  a  man  to  sit  upon 

18  the  throne  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el;  neither  shall  the 
priests  the  Le'vites  want  a  man  before  me  to  offer 
burnt  offerings,  and  to  burn  ^oblations,  and  to  do 

19  sacrifice  continually.     And  the  word  of  the  Lord 

20  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  : 
If  ye  can  break  my  covenant  of  the  day,  and  my 
covenant  of  the  night,   so  that  there  should  not  be 

21  day  and  night  in  their  season ;  then  may  also  my 
covenant  be  broken  with  Da'vid  my  servant,  that  he 
should  not  have  a  son  to  reign  upon    his    throne; 

22  and  with  the  Le'vites  the  prie.sts,  my  ministers.  As 
the  host  of  heaven  cannot  be  numbered,  neither  the 
sand  of  the  sea  measured;  so  will  I  multiply  the 
seed  of  Da'vid   my  servant,  and  the  Le'vites  that 

23  minister   unto    me.     And    the    word   of  the    Lord 

24  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying,  Considerest  thou  not 
what  this  people  have  spoken,  saying.  The  two 
families  which  the  Lord  did  choose,  he  hath  cast 
them  off?  thus  do  they  despise  my  people,  that   they 

25  should  be  no  more  a  nation  before  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  :  If  my  covenant  of  day  and  night 
stand  not,  if  I  have  not  appointed  the  ordinances  of 

26 heaven  and  earth;  then  will  I  also  cast  away  the 
seed  of  Ja'cob,  and  of  Da'vid  my  servant,  so  that  I 
will  not  take  of  his  seed  to  be  rulers  over  the  seed 
of  A'bra-ham,  I'saac,  and  Ja'cob :  for  I  will  'cause  their 
captivity  to  return,  and  will  have  mercy  on  them. 

O^  The  word  which  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the 
Lord,  when  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and 
all  his  army,  and  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  that 
were  under  his  dominion,  and  all  the  peoples,  fought 
against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  against  all  the  cities  thereof, 

2  saying :  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
Go,  and  speak  to  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  tell 
him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  give  this 
city  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  he 

3 shall  burn  it  with  fire:  and  thou  shalt  not  escape 
out  of  his  hand,  but  shalt  surely  be  taken,  and 
delivered  into  his  hand ;  and  thine  eyes  shall  behold 
the  eyes  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  he  shall  speak 
with    thee    mouth    to  mouth,  and  thou  shalt  go  to 

4  Bab'y-lon.  Yet  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  Zed-e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah:    thus  saith  the  Lord  concern- 

5  ing  thee.  Thou  shalt  not  die  by  the  sword ;  thou  shalt 
die  in  peace;  and  with  the  burnings  of  thy  fathers, 
the  former  kings  which  were  before  thee,  so  shall

they  burn  odours  for  thee ;  and  *they  will  lament  thee,  saying, 
Ah  lord !  for  I  have  pronounced  the  word,  saith  the  Lord. 

6  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  spake  all  these  words  unto 
Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  in  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

7  When  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  army  fought  against  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  againist  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  that  were  left, 
against  La'chish,  and  again.st  A-ze'kah :  for  'these  defenced 
cities  remained  of  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

8  ^This  is  the  word  that  came  unto  Jer-e-rai'ah  from  the 
Lord,  after  that  the  king  Zed-e-ki'ah  had  made  a  covenant 
with  all  the  people  which  tvere  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  proclaim 
*liberty  unto  them ; 

9  'That  every  man  should  let  his  manservant,  and  every 
man  his  maidservant,  being  a  He'brew  or  a  He'brew-ess,  go 
free ;  "that  none  should  serve  himself  of  them,  to  wit,  of  a 
Jew  his  brother. 

10  Now  wl^n  all  the  princes,  and  all  the  people  which 
had  entered  into  the  covenant,  heard  that  every  one  should 
let  his  manservant,  and  every  one  his  maidservant,  go  free, 
that  none  should  serve  themselves  of  them  any  more ;  then 
they  obeyed,  and  let  them  go. 

1 1  But  "afterwards  they  turned,  and  caused  the  servants  and 
the  handmaids,  whom  they  had  let  go  free,  to  return,  and 
brought  them  into  subjection  for  servants  and  for  handmaids. 

12  '^Therefore  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
from  the  Lord,  saying, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  I  made  a 
covenant  with  your  fathers  in  the  day  that  I  brought  them 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  out  of  the  house  of  bond- 
men, saying, 

14  At  the  end  of  "seven  years  let  ye  go  every  man  his 
brother  a  He'brew,  which  ||hath  been  sold  unto  thee;  and 
when  he  hath  served  thee  six  years,  thou  shalt  let  him  go 
free  from  thee:  but  your  fathers  hearkened  not  unto  me, 
neither  inclined  their  ear. 

15  And  ye  were  fnow  turned,  and  had  done  right  in  my 
sight,  in  proclaiming  liberty  every  man  to  his  neighbour ; 
and  ye  had  ''made  a  covenant  before  me  'in  the  house 
f  which  is  called  by  my  name : 

16  But  ye  turned  and  ''polluted  my  name,  and  caused  every 
man  his  servant,  and  every  man  his  handmaid,  whom  he 
had  set  at  liberty  at  their  pleasure,  to  return,  and  brought 
them  into  subjection,  to  be  unto  you  for  servants  and  for 
handmaids. 

17  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Ye  have  not  hearkened 
unto  me,  in  proclaiming  liberty,  every  one  to  his  brother, 
and  every  man  to  his  neighbour :  'behold,  I  proclaim  a  lib- 
erty for  you,  saith  the  Lord,  'to  the  sword,  to  the  pestilence, 
and  to  the  famine ;  and  I  will  make  you  f to  be  "removed 
into  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth. 

18  And  I  will  give  the  men  that  have  transgressed  my 
covenant,  which  have  not  performed  the  words  of  the  cove- 
nant, which  they  had  made  before  me  when  Hhey  cut  the 
calf  in  twain,  and  passed  between  the  parts  thereof, 

19  The  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  princes  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
the  eunuchs,  and  the  priests,  and  all  the  people  of  the  land, 
which  passed  between  the  parts  of  the  calf; 

20  I  will  even  give  them  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies, 
and  into  the  hand  of  them  that  seek  their  life :  and  their 
"dead  bodies  shall  be  for  meat  unto  the  fowls  of  the  heaven, 
and  to  the  beasts  or'tlie  earth. 

21  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  and  his  princes  will  I 
give  into  the  hand  of  their  enemies,  and  into  the  hand  of 
them  that  seek  their  life,  and  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon's  army,  'which  are  gone  up  from  you. 

22  "Behold,  I  will  command,  saith  the  Lord,  and  cause 
them  to  return  to  this  city  and  they  shall  fight  against  it, 
'and  take  it,  and  burn  it  with  fire:  and  "I  will  make  the 
cities  of  Ju'dah  a  desolation  without  an  inhabitant. 


they  'make  a  burning  for  thee ;  and  they  shall  lament 
thee,  saying,  Ah  lord!  for  I  have  spoken  the  word, 

6  saiththeLoRD.  ThenJer-e-mi'ahtheprophetspakeall 
these  words  unto  Zed-e-ki'ah  kingof  Ju'dah  in  Je-ru'sa- 

7  lem,  when  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  army  fought  against 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  against  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  that 
were  left,  against  La'chish  and  against  A-ze'kah;  for  these 
alone  remained  of  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  as  fenced  cities. 

8  The  word  that  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the 
Lord,  after  that  the  king  Zed-e-ki'ah  had  made  a 
■covenant  with  all  the  people  which  were  at  Je-ru'- 

9sa-lem,  to  proclaim  liberty  unto  them;  that  every 
man  should  let  his  man.servant  and  every  man  his 
maidservant,  being  an  He'brew  or  an  He'brew-ess, 
go  free ;  that  none  should  serve  himself  of  them,  to 

10  wit,  of  a  Jew  his  brother:  and  all  the  princes  and  all 
the  people  obeyed,  which  had  entered  into  the  cove- 
nant that  every  one  should  let  his  manservant,  and 
every  one  his  maid.servant,  go  free,  that  none  should 
serve  themselves  of  them  any  more ;  they  obeyed,  and 

11  let  them  go:  but  afterwards  they  turned  and  caused 
the  servants  and  the  handmaids,  whom  they  had  let 
go  free,  to  return,  and  brought  them  into  subjection 

12  for  servants  and  for  handmaids:  therefore  the  word 
of  the  Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 

13  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  I 
made  a  covenant  with  your  fathers  in  the  day  that 
I  brought  them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  out 

14  of  the  house  of  ^bondage,  saying,  At  the  end  of 
seven  years  ye  shall  let  go  every  man  his  brother 
that  is  an  He'brew,  which  'hath  been  sold  unto  thee, 
and  hath  served  thee  six  years,  thou  shalt  let  him 
go  free  from  thee :  but  your   fathers   hearkened   not 

15  unto  me,  neither  inclined  their  ear.  And  ye  were 
now  turned,  and  had  done  that  which  is  right  in 
mine  eyes,  in  proclaiming  liberty  every  man  to  his 
neighbour ;  and  ye  had  made  a  covenant  before  me 

16  in  the  house  which  is  called  by  my  name :  but  ye 
turned  and  profaned  my  name,  and  caused  every 
man  his  servant,  and  every  man  his  handmaid,  whom 
ye  had  let  go  free  at  their  pleasure,  to  return ;  and  ye 
brought  them  into  subjection,  to  be  unto   you  for 

17  servants  and  for  handmaids.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  :  Ye  have  not  hearkened  unto  me,  to  pro- 
claim liberty,  every  man  to  his  brother,  and  every 
man  to  his  neighbour;  behold,  I  proclaim  unto  you 
a  liberty,  saith  the  Lord,  to  the  sword,  to  the  pes- 
tilence, and  to  the  famine ;  and  I  will  make  you  to 
be  Hossed  to   and   fro   among   all  the  kingdoms  of 

18  the  earth.  And  I  will  give  the  men  that  have  trans- 
gressed my  covenant,  which  have  not  performed  the 
words  of  the  covenant  which  they  made  before  me, 
'when  they  cut  the  calf  in  twain  and  passed  between 

19  the  parts  thereof;  the  princes  of  Ju'dah,  and  the 
princes  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  eunuchs,  and  the  priests, 
and  all  the  people  of  tlie  land,  which  passed  between 

20  the  parts  of  the  calf;  I  will  even  give  them  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies,  and  into  the  hand  of  them 
that  seek  their  life :  and  their  dead  bodies  shall  be 
for  meat  unto  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  to  the 

21  beasts  of  the  earth.  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah 
and  his  princes  will  I  give  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies,  and  into  the  hand  of  them  that  seek  their 
life,  and  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's 

22  army,  which  are  gone  up  from  you.  Behold,  I  will 
command,  saith  the  Lord,  and  cause  them  to  return 
to  this  city;  and  they  shall  fight  against  it,  and  take 
it,  and  burn  it  with  fire :  and  I  will  make  the  cities 
of  Ju'dah  a  desolation,  without  inhabitant.

CHAPTER  XXXV. 

God  blesseth  the  Rechabites  for  tketr  obedience. 

THE  word  which  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 
in  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of 
Ju'dah,  saying, 

2  Go  unto  the  house  of  the  "Re'chab-ites,  and  speak  unto 
them,  and  bring  them  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  into  one 
of  Hhe  chambers,  and  give  them  wine  to  drink. 

3  Then  I  took  Ja-az-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,  the 
son  of  Hab-a-zi-ni'ah,  and  his  brethren,  and  all  his  sons,  and 
the  whole  house  of  the  Re'chab-ites ; 

4  And  I  brought  them  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  into 
the  chamber  of  the  sons  of  Ha' nan,  the  son  of  Ig-da-li'ah,  a 
man  of  Grod,  which  was  by  the  chamber  of  the  princes, 
which  was  above  the  chamber  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  son  of 
Shal'lum,  ""the  keeper  of  the  fdoor : 

5  And  I  set  before  the  sons  of  the  house  of  the  Re'chab- 
ites  pots  full  of  wine,  and  cups;  and  I  said  unto  them. 
Drink  ye  wine. 

6  But  they  said.  We  will  drink  no  wine :  for  ''Jon'a-dab  the 
son  of  Re'chab  our  father  commanded  us,  saying.  Ye  shall 
drink  no  wine,  neither  ye,  nor  your  sons  for  ever: 

7  Neither  shall  ye  build  house,  nor  sow  seed,  nor  plant  vine- 
yard, nor  have  any :  but  all  your  days  ye  shall  dwell  in  tents ; 

that  ye  may  live  many  days  in  the  land  where  ye  be  strangers. 

8  Thus  haveweobeyed  thevoice  of  Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'- 
chab our  father  in  all  that  he  hath  charged  us,  to  drink  no  wine 
all  our  days,  we,  our  wives,  our  sons,  nor  our  daughters; 

9  Nor  to  build  houses  for  us  to  dwell  in ;  neither  have  we 
vineyard,  nor  field,  nor  seed : 

10  But  we  have  dwelt  in  tents,  and  have  obeyed,  and  done 
according  to  all  that  Jon'a-dab  our  father  commanded  us. 

11  But  it  came  to  pass,  when  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  came  up  into  tlie  land,  that  we  said.  Come,  and  let  us 
JO  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  fear  of  the  army  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and 
or  fear  of  the  army  of  the  Syr'i-ans:  so  we  dwell  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12  ^Then  came  the  word  of  theLoRD  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah, saying, 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Go 
and  tell  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  Will  ye  not  ^receive  instruction  to  hearken  to  my 
words?  saith  the  Lord. 

14  The  words  of  Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab,  that  he 
commanded  his  sons  not  to  drink  wine,  are  performed ;  for 
unto  this  day  they  drink  none,  but  obey  their  father's  com- 
mandment:   "notwithstanding    I    have    spoken    unto    you, 

ri.sing  early  and  speaking;  but  ye  hearkened  not  unto  me. 

15  'I  have  sent  also  unto  you  all  my  servants  the  prophets, 
rising  up  early  and  sending  them,  saying,  *Return  ye  now 
every  man  from  his  evil  way,  and  amend  your  doings,  and 
go  not  after  other  gods  to  serve  them,  and  ye  shall  dwell  in 
the  land  which  I  have  given  to  you  and  to  your  fathers: 
but  ye  have  not  inclined  your  ear,  nor  hearkened  unto  me. 

16  Becau.se  the  sons  of  Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab  have 
performed  the  commandment  of  their  &ther,  which  he  com- 
manded them ;  but  this  people  hath  not  hearkened  unto  me : 

17  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el ;  Behold,  I  will  bring  upon  Ju'dah  and  upon  all 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'.sa-lem  all  the  evil  that  I  have  pro- 
nounced against  them:  'because  I  have  spoken  unto  them, 
but  they  have  not  heard ;  and  I  have  called  unto  them,  but 
they  have  not  answered. 

18  ^And  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  the  house  of  the  Re'chab- 
ites,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ; 
Becau.se  ye  have  obeyed  the  commandment  of  Jon'a-dab 
your  father,  and  kept  all  his  precepts,  and  done  according 
unto  all  that  he  hath  commanded  you: 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el ;  f  Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab  shall  not  want  a 
man  to  "stand  before  me  for  ever. 


vO  The  word  which  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord 
in  the  days  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jo'si'ah,  king  of 

2  Ju'dah,  saying.  Go  unto  the  house  of  the  Re'chab-ites, 
and  speak  unto  them,  and  bring  them  into  the  house  of 
the  LoRD,into  one  of  the  chambers,  and  give  them  wine 

3  to  drink.  Then  I  took  Ja-az-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
the  son  of  Hab-az-zi-ni'ah,and  his  brethren,  and  all  his 

4  sons,  and  the  whole  house  of  the  Re'chab-ites ;  and  I 
brought  them  into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  into  the 
chamber  of  the  sonsof  Ha'nanthe  son  of  Ig-da-li'ah,the 
man  of  God,  which  was  by  the  chamber  of  the  princes, 
which  was  above  the  chamber  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  son 

5 of  Shal'lum,  the  keeper  of  the  'door:  and  I  set  be 
fore  the  sons  of  the  house  of  the  Re'chab-ites  bowls 
full  of  wine,  and  cups,  and  I  said  unto  them.  Drink 

6  ye  wine.  But  they  said.  We  will  drink  no  wine : 
for  Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab  our  father  com- 
manded us,  saying,  Ye  shall  drink  no  wine,  neither 

7  ye,  nor  your  sons,  for  ever :  neither  shall  ye  build 
house,  nor  sow  seed,  nor  plant  vineyard,  nor  have 
any :  but  all  your  days  ye  shall  dwell  in  tents ;  that 
ye    may    live    many   days   in  the    land   wherein   ye 

8  sojourn.  And  we  have  obeyed  the  voice  of  Jon'a-dab 
the  son  of  Re'chab  our  father  in  all  that  he  charged 
us,  to  drink  no  wine  all  our  days,  we,  our  wives,  our 

9 sons,  nor  our  daughters;  nor  to  build  houses  for  us 

to  dwell  in :  neither  have  we  vineyard,  nor  field,  nor 

10 seed:  but  we  have  dwelt  in  tents,  and  have  obeyed, 

and  done  according  to  all  that  Jon'a-dab  our  father 

11  commanded  us.  But  it  came  to  pass,  when  Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  up  into  the  land,  that 
we  said.  Come,  and  let  us  go  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  fear  of 
the  army  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and  for  fear  of  the  army 
of  the  Syr'i-ans ;  so  we  dwell  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

12  Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah, 

13  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el :  Go,  and  say  to  the  men  of  Ju'dah  and  the  in- 
habitants of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Will  ye  not  receive  instruction 

14  to  hearken  to  my  words?  saith  the  Lord.  The  words  of 
Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab,  that  he  commanded  his 
sons,  not  to  drink  wine,  are  }>erformed,  and  unto  this 
day  they  drink  none,  for  they  obey  their  father's  com- 
mandment: but  I  have  spoken  unto  you,  rising  up 
early  and  speaking;  and  ye  have  not  hearkened  unto 

15  me.  I  have  sent  also  unto  youall  my  servants  the  proph- 
ets, rising  up  early  and  sending  them,  saying.  Return 
ye  now  every  man  from  his  evil  way,  and  amend  your 
doings,  and  go  not  after  other  gods  to  serve  them,  and 
ye  shall  dwell  in  the  land  which  I  have  given  to  you 
and  to  your  fathers:  but  ye  have  not  inclined  your 

16  ear,  nor  hearkened  unto  me.  Forasmuch  as  the 
sons  of  Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab  have  performed 
the  commandment  of  their  father  which  he  com- 
manded them,  but  this  people  hath  not  hearkened 

17  unto  me;  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
ho.sts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Behold,  I  will  bring  upon 
Ju'dah  and  upon  all  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  all 
the  evil  that  I  have  pronounced  against  them :  be- 
cause I  have  spoken  unto  them,  but  they  have  not 
heard;  and  I  have  called  unto  them,  but  they  have 

18  not  answered.  And  Jef-e-mi'ah  said  unto  the  house 
of  the  Re'chab-ites,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Because  ye  have  obeyed  the 
commandment  of  Jon'a-dab  your  father,  and  kept  all 
his   precepts,  and  done   according  unto  all  that  he 

19 commanded  you;  therefore  thus  saith  the  Ix)RD  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Jon'a-dab  the  son  of  Re'chab 
shall  not  want  a  man  to  stand  before  me  for  ever.

CHAPTER   XXXVI. 

Jeremiah  cauxeth  Baruch  to  Vfrtie  his  prophecy. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fourtli  year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim 
the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  that  this  word  came 
unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  saying, 

2  Take  thee  a  "roll  of  a  book,  and  ''write  therein  all  the 
words  that  I  have  spoken  unto  thee  against  Is'ra-el,  and 
against  Ju'dah,  and  against  ''all  the  nations,  from  the  day  I 
spake  unto  thee,  from  thedays  of  ''Jo-si'ah,  even  unto  this  day. 

3  'It  may  be  that  the  house  of  Ju'dah  will  hear  all  the 
evil  which  I  purpose  to  do  unto  them  ;  that  they  may  ■''return 
every  man  from  his  evil  way ;  that  I  may  forgive  their  in- 
iquity and  their  sin. 

4  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  'called  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah  :  and 
*Ba'ruch  wrote  from  the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  all  the  wordsof  the 
Lord,  which  he  had  spoken  unto  him,  upon  a  roll  of  a  book. 

5  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  commanded  Ba'ruch,  saying,  I  am  shut 
up ;  I  cannot  go  into  the  house  of  the  Lord  : 

6  Therefore  go  thou,  and  read  in  the  roll,  which  thou  hast 
written  from  my  mouth,  the  words  of  the  Lord  in  the  ears 
of  the  people  in  the  Lord's  house  upon  'the  fasting  day : 
and  also  thou  shalt  read  them  in  the  ears  of  all  Ju'dah 
that  come  out  of  their  cities. 

7  *It  may  be  fthey  will  present  their  supplication  before 
the  Lord,  and  will  return  every  one  from  his  evil  way :  for 
great  is  the  anger  and  the  fury  that  the  Lord  hath  pro- 
nounced against  this  people. 

8  And  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah  did  according  to  all 
that  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  commanded  him,  reading  in  the 
book  the  words  of  the  Lord  in  the  Lord's  house. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fifth  year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the 
son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the  ninth  month,  that  they 
proclaimed  a  fast  before  the  Lord  to  all  the  people  in  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  to  all  the  people  that  came  from  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah  unto  Je-ru'.sa-lem. 

10  Then  read  Ba'ruch  in  the  book  the  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  in  the  chamber  of  Gem-a-ri'ah 
the  son  of  Sha'phan  the  scribe,  in  the  higher  court,  at  the 

'entry  of  the  new  gate  of  the  Lord's  house,  in  the  ears  of 
all  the  people. 

1 1  ^  When  Mi-cha'iah  the  son  of  Gem-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Sha'- 
phan, had  heard  out  of  the  book  all  the  words  of  the  Lord, 

12  Then  he  went  down  into  the  king's  house,  into  the 
scribe's  chamber:  and,  lo,  all  the  princes  sat  there,  even 
E-lish'a-ma  the  scribe,  and  Del-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Shem-a-i'ah,  and 
El'na-than  the  son  of  Ach'bor,and  Gem-a-ri'ah  theson  of  Sha'- 
phan, and  Zed-e-ki'ah  theson  of  Han-a-ni'ah,andall  the  princes. 

13  Then  Mi-cha'iah  declared  unto  them  all  the  words  that  he 
had  heard,  when  Ba'ruch  read  the  book  in  the  ears  of  the  people. 

14  Therefore  all  the  princes  sent  Je-hu'di  the  son  of  Neth- 
a-ni'ah,  the  son  of  Shel-e-mi'ah,  the  son  of  Cu'shi,  unto  Ba'- 
ruch, saying.  Take  in  thine  hand  the  roll  wherein  thou  hast 
read  in  the  ears  of  the  people,  and  come.  So  Ba'ruch  the  son 
of  Ne-ri'ah  took  the  roll  in  his  hand,  and  came  unto  them. 

15  And  they  said  unto  him.  Sit  down  now,  and  read  it  in 
our  ears.     So  Ba'ruch  read  it  in  their  ears. 

16  Now  it  came  to  pa.ss,  when  they  had  heard  all  the  words, 
they  were  afraid  both  one  and  other,  and  said  unto  Ba'ruch, 
We  will  surely  tell  the  king  of  all  these  words. 

17  And  they  asked  Ba'ruch,  saying.  Tell  us  now.  How  didst 
thou  write  all  these  words  at  his  mouth  ? 

18  Then  Ba'ruch  answered  them.  He  pronounced  all  these 
words  unto  me  with  his  mouth,  and  I  wrote  them  with  ink 
in  the  book. 

19  Then  said  the  princes  unto  Ba'ruch,  Go,  hide  thee,  thou 
and  Jer-e-mi'ah ;  and  let  no  man  know  where  ye  be. 

20  ^And  they  went  in  to  the  king  into  the  court,  but 
they  laid  up  the  roll  in  the  chamber  of  E-lish'a-ma  the  scribe, 
and  told  all  the  words  in  the  ears  of  the  king. 


And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fourth  year  of  Je-hoi'- 
a-kim the  son  of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  that  this  word 

2  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord,  saying,Take  thee 
a  roll  of  a  book,  and  write  therein  all  the  words  that 
I  have  spoken  unto  thee  against  Is'ra-el,  and  against 
Ju'dah,  and  against  all  the  nations,  from  the  day  I  spake 
unto  thee,  from  the  days  of  Jo-si'ah,even  unto  this  day. 

3  It  may  be  that  the  house  of  Ju'dah  will  hear  all  the 
evil  which  I  purpose  to  do  unto  them ;  that  they  may 
return  every  man  from  his  evil  way ;  that  I  may  forgive 

4their  iniquity  and  their  sin.  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  called 
Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah  ;  and  Ba'ruch  wrote  from 
the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  all  the  words  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  had  spoken  unto  him,  upon  a  roll  of  a  book. 

5  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  commanded  Ba'ruch,  saying,  lam  'shut 

6  up ;  I  cannot  go  into  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  therefore 
go  thou,  and  read  in  the  roll,  which  thou  hast  written 
from  my  mouth,  the  words  of  the  Lord  in  the  ears 
of  the  people  in  the  Lord's  hou.se  upon  ^the  fast  day  : 
and  also  thou  shalt  read  them  in  the  ears  of  all  Ju'- 

7dah  that  come  out  of  their  cities.  It  may  be  they 
will  present  their  supplication  before  the  Lord,  and 
will  return  every  one  from  his  evil  way :  for  great 
is  the  anger  and  the  fury  that  the  Lord  hath  prO' 

8  nounced  again.st  this  people.  And  Ba'ruch  the  son 
of  Ne-ri'ah  did  according  to  all  th^t  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  commanded  him,  reading  in  the  book  the 
words  of  the  Lord  in  the  Lord's  house. 

9  Now  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fifth  year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim 
the  son  of  Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the  ninth  month, 
that  all  the  people  in  Je-rr'sa-lem,  and  all  the  people 
that  came  from  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

10  proclaimed  a  fast  before  the  Lord.  Then  read  Ba'- 
ruch in  the  book  the  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  in  the  chamber  of  Gem-a-ri'ah  the  son  of 
Sha'phan  the  scribe,  in  the  upper  court,  at  the  entry 
of  the  new  gate  of  the  Lord's  hou.se,  in  the  ears  of 

11  all  the  people.  And  when  Mi-ca'iah  the  .son  of  Gem- 
a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  had  heard  out  of  the 

12  book  all  the  words  of  the  Lord,  he  went  down  into 
the  king's  house,  into  the  scribe's  chamber :  and,  lo, 
all  the  princes  sat  there,  even  E-lish'a-ma  the  scribe, 
and  Del-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Shem-a-i'ah,  and  El'na-than  the 
son  of  Ach'bor,  and  Gem-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Sha'phan, and 
Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Han-a-ni'ah,  and  all  the  princes, 

13  Then  Mi-ca'iah  declared  unto  them  all  the  words 
that  he  had  heard,  when  Ba'ruch  read  the  book  in 

14  the  ears  of  the  people.  Therefore  all  the  princes 
sent  Je-hu'di  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  theson  of  Shel'- 
e-mi'ah,  the  .son  of  Cu'shi,  unto  Ba'ruch,  saying,  Take 
in  thine  hand  the  roll  wherein  thou  hast  read  in  the 
ears  of  the  people,  and  come.  So  Ba'ruch  the  son 
of  Ne-ri'ah  took  the  roll  in  his  hand,  and  came  unto 

15  them.     And  they  said  unto  him.  Sit  down  now,  and 
•    read  it  in  our  ears.     So  Ba'ruch  read  it  in  their  ears. 

16  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  they  had  heard  all  the 
words,  they  turned  in  fear  one  toward  another,and  said 
unto  Ba'ruch,  We  will  surely  tell  the  king  of  all  these 

17  words.  And  they  asked  Ba'ruch,  saying.  Tell  us 
now.  How  didst  thou  write  all  these  words  at  his 

18  mouth?  Then  Ba'ruch  answered  them.  He  pro- 
nounced all  these  words  unto  me  with  his  mouth,  and 

19 1  wrote  them  with  ink  in  the  book.  Then  said  the 
princes  unto  Ba'ruch,  Go,  hide  thee,  thou  and  Jer-e- 

20  mi'ah ;  and  let  no  man  know  where  ye  be.  And  they 
went  in  to  the  king  into  the  court;  but  they  had  laid 
up  the  roll  in  the  chamber  of  E-lish'a-ma  the  scribe ; 
and  they  told  all  the  words  in  the  ears  of  the  king.

21  So  the  king  sent  Je-hn'di  to  fetch  the  roll :  and  he  took 
it  out  of  E-lish'a-ma  the  scribe's  chamber.  And  Je-hu'di 
read  it  in  the  ears  of  the  king,  and  in  the  ears  of  all  the 
princes  which  stood  beside  the  king. 

22  Now  the  king  sat  in  "the  winter  house  in  the  ninth 
month ;  and  there  was  afire  on  the  hearth  burning  before  him. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  Je-hu'di  had  read  three 
or  four  leaves,  he  cut  it  with  the  penknife,  and  ca.st  it  into 
the  fire  that  was  on  the  hearth,  until  all  the  roll  was  con- 
sumed in  the  fire  that  was  on  the  hearth. 

24  Yet  they  were  not  afraid,  nor  "rent  their  garments,  neither 
the  king,  nor  any  of  his  servants  that  heard  all  these  words. 

25  Nevertheless  El'na-than  and  Del-a-i'ah  and  Gem-a-ri'ah 
had  made  intercession  to  the  king  that  he  would  not  burn 
the  roll ;  but  he  would  not  hear  them. 

26  But  the  king  commanded  Je-rah'me-el  the  son  ||of 
Ham'me-lech,  and  Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Az'ri-el,  and  Shel-e- 
mi'ah  the  son  of  Ab'de-el,  to  take  Ba'ruch  the  scribe  and 
Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet:  but  the  Lord  hid  them. 

27  ^Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah,  after 
that  the  king  had  burned  the  roll,  and  the  words  which 
Ba'ruch  wrote  at  the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

28  Take  thee  again  another  roll,  and  write  in  it  all  the 
former  words  that  were  in  the  first  roll,  which  Je-hoi'a-kim 
the  king  of  Ju'dah  hath  burned. 

29  And  thou  shalt  say  to  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Thou  hast  burned  this  roll,  saying, 
Why  hast  thou  written  therein,  saying,  The  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon  shall  certainly  come  and  destroy  this  land,  and  shall 
cause  to  cease  from  thence  man  and  beast? 

30  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of 
Ju'dah ;  "He  shall  have  none  to  sit  upon  the  throne  of 
Da'vid:  and  his  dead  body  shall  be  "cast  out  in  the  day  to 
the  heat,  and  in  the  night  to  the  frost. 

31  And  I  will  fpuuish  him  and  his  seed  and  his  servants  for 
their  iniquity;  and  I  will  bring  upon  them,  and  upon  the  inhab- 
itants of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  upon  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  all  the  evil 
that  I  have  pronounced  against  them ;  but  they  hearkened  not. 

32  ^Then  took  Jer-e-mi'ah  another  roll,  and  gave  it  to 
Ba'ruch  the  scribe,  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah ;  who  wrote  therein 
from  the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  all  the  words  of  the  book 
which  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  had  burned  in  the  fire : 
and  there  were  added  besides  unto  them  many  flike  words. 

CHAPTER    XXXVII. 

Jeremiah  prophesieth  the  Chaldeans*  certain  return  and  victory. 

AND  king  "Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  reigned  instead 
of  Co-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  whom  Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  made  king  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

2  'But  neither  he,  nor  his  servants,  nor  the  people  of 
the  land,  did  hearken  unto  the  words  of  the  Lord,  which 
he  spake  fby  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

3  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  kingsent  Je-hu'cal  theson  of  Shel-e-mi'ah, 
and^Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  priest  to  the  prophet 
Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying,  Pray  now  unto  the  Lord  our  God  for  us. 

4  Now  Jer-e-mi'ah  came  in  and  went  out  among  the  peo- 
ple :  for  they  had  not  put  him  into  prison. 

5  Then  ''Pha'raoh's  army  was  come  forth  out  of  E'gypt : 
and  when  the  Chal-de'ans  that  besieged  Je-ru'sa-lem  heard 
tidings  of  them,  they  departed  from  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

6  ^Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  the  prophet 
Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying, 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  Thus  shall  ye 
say  to  the  king  of  Ju'dah, -that  sent  you  unto  me  to  inquire 
of  me ;  Behold,  Pha'raoh's  army,  which  is  come  forth  to 
help  you,  shall  return  to  E'gypt  into  their  own  land. 

8  "And  the  Chal'de-ans  shall  come  again  and  fight  against 
this  city,  and  take  it,  and  burn  it  with  fire. 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Deceive  not  fyourselves,  saying,  The 
Chal'de-ans  shall  surely  depart  from  us:  for  they  shall  not  depart. 


21  So  the  king  sent  Je-hu'di  to  fetch  the  roll :  and  he  took 
it  out  of  the  chamber  of  E-lish'a-ma  the  scribe.  And 
Je-hu'di  read  it  in  the  ears  of  the  king,  and  in  the  ears 

22  of  all  the  princes  which  stood  beside  the  king.  Now 
the  king  .sat  in  the  winter  house  in  the  ninth  month  : 
and  there  was  afire  in  the  brasier  burning  before  him. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Je-hu'di  had  read  three  or 
four  'leaves,  that  the  Icing  cut  it  with  the  penknife,  and 
cast  it  into  the  fire  that  was  in  the  brasier,  until  all  the 
roll  was  consumed  in  the  fire  that  was  in  the  brasier. 

24  And  they  were  not  afraid,  nor  rent  their  garments, 
neither  the  king,  nor  any  of  his  servants  that  heard  all 

25  these  words.  Moreover  El'na-than  and  Del-a-i'ah  and 
Gem-a-ri'ah  had  made  intercession  to  the  king  that 
he  would  not  burn  the  roll :  but  he  would  not  hear 

26  them.  And  the  king  commanded  Je-rah'me-el  ^the 
king's  son,  and  Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Az'ri-el,  and  Shel- 
e-mi'ah  the  son  of  Ab'de-el,  to  take  Ba'ruch  the  scribe 
and  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet:  but  the  Lord  hid  them. 

27  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
after  that  the  king  had  burned  the  roll,  and  the  words 
which  Ba'ruch  wrote  at  the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,  say- 

28  ing,  Take  thee  again  another  roll,  and  write  in  it  all  the 
former  words  that  were  in  the  first  roll,  which  Je-hoi'- 

29a-kim  the  king  of  Ju'dah  hath  burned.  And  concern- 
ing Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  thou  shalt  say.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  :  Thou  hast  burned  this  roll,  saying. 
Why  hast  thou  written  therein,  saying,  The  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  shall  certainly  come  and  destroy  this  land, 
and    shall    cause    to    cease    from    thence    man    and 

30 beast?  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning 
Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  :  He  shall  have  none  to  sit 
upon  the  throne  of  Da'vid :  and  his  dead  body  shall 
be  cast  out  in  the  day  to  the  heat,  and  in  the  night  to 

31  the  frost.  And  I  will  punish  him  and  his  seed  and  his 
servants  for  their  iniquity;  and  I  will  bring  upon  them, 
and  upon  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  upon  the 
men  of  Ju'dah,  all  the  evil  that  I  have  pronounced 

32  against  them,  but  they  hearkened  not.  Then  took 
Jer-e-mi'ah  another  roll,  and  gave  it  to  Ba'ruch  the 
scribe,  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah ;  who  wrote  therein  from  the 
mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  all  the  words  of  the  book  which 
Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  had  burned  in  the  fire:  and 
there  were  added  besides  unto  them  many  like  words. 

V  /  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  reigned  as  king, 
instead  of  ^Co-ni'ah  the  son  of  Je-hoi'a-kim,  whom  Neb- 
u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  made  king  in  the  land 

2  of  Ju'dah.  But  neither  he,  nor  his  servants,  nor  the 
people  of  the  land  did  hearken  unto  the  words  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  spake  by  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

3  AndZed-e-ki'ahthekingsentJe-hu'calthesonofShel- 
e-mi'ah,and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah  the  priest, 
to  the  prophet  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying,  Pray  now  unto  the 

4  Lord  our  God  for  us.  Now  Jer-e-mi'ah  came  in  and  went 
out  among  the  people  :  for  they  had  not  put  him  into 

5  prison.  And  Pha'raoh's  army  was  come  forth  out  of 
E'gy  pt :  an  d  when  the  Chal-de'ans  that  besieged  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  heard  tidings  of  them,  they  brake  up  from  Je-ru'sa- 

6  lem.  Then  came  the  word  of  tihe  Lord  unto  the  prophet 

7  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el :  Thus  shall  ye  say  to  the  king  of  Ju'dah,  that 
sent  you  unto  me  to  inquire  of  me  :  Behold,  Pha'raoh's

8  E'gypt  into  their  own  land.  And  the  Chal-de'ans  shall 
come  again,  and  fight  against  this  city ;  and  they  shall 

9  take  it,  and  burn  it  with  fire.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  : 
Deceive  not  'yourselves,  saying.  The  Chal-de'ans  shall 
surely  depart  from  us:   for  they  shall  not  depart.

10  *For  though  ye  had  smitten  the  whole  army  of  the 
Chal-de'ans  that  fight  against  you,  and  there  remained  but 
fwounded  men  among  them,  yet  should  they  rise  up  every 
man  in  his  tent,  and  burn  this  city  with  fire. 

11^' And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  the  army  of  the 
Chal-de'ans  was  fbroken  up  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  fear  of 
Pha'raoh's  army, 

12  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  went  forth  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  go 
into  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min,  ||to  separate  himself  thence  in 
the  midst  of  the  people. 

13  And  when  he  was  in  the  gate  of  Ben'ja-min,  a  captain 
of  the  ward  was  there,  whose  name  was  I-ri'jah,  the  son  of 
Shel-e-mi'ah,  the  son  of  Han-a-ni'ah ;  and  he  took  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  the  prophet,  say ing,Thou  fallest  away  to  the  Chal-de'ans. 

14  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah,  It  is  ffalse ;  I  fall  not  away  to 
the  Chal-de'ans.  But  he  hearkened  not  to  him :  so  I-ri'jah 
took  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  brought  him  to  the  princes. 

15  Wherefore  the  princes  were  wroth  with  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
and  smote  him,  *and  put  him  in  prison  in  the  house  of  Jon'a- 
than  the  scribe ;  for  they  had  made  that  the  prison. 

1 6  If  When  Jer-e-mi'ah  was  entered  into  'the  dungeon,  and  into 
the  1 1  cabins,  and  Jer-e-mi'ah  had  remained  there  many  days; 

1 7  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  sent,  and  took  him  out ;  and  the 
king  asked  him  secretly  in  his  house,  and  said.  Is  there  any 
word  from  the  Lord  ?  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  said,  There  is:  for,  said 
he,thoushaltbedeliveredintothehandofthekingofBab'y-lon. 

18  Moreover  Jer-e-miah  said  unto  king  Zed-e-ki'ah, What 
have  I  offended  against  thee,  or  against  thy  servants,  or 
against  this  people,  that  ye  have  put  me  in  prison  ? 

19  Where  are  now  your  prophets  which  prophesied  unto 
you,  saying.  The  king  of  Bab'y-lon  shall  not  come  against 
you,  nor  against  this  land  ? 

20  Therefore  hear  now,  I  pray  thee,  O  my  lord  the  king: 
flet  my  supplication,  I  pray  thee,  be  accepted  before  thee ; 
that  thou  cause  me  not  to  return  to  the  house  of  Jon'a-than 
the  scribe,  lest  I  die  there. 

21  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  commanded  that  they  should 
commit  Jer-e-mi'ah  "into  the  court  of  the  prison,  and  that 
they  should  give  him  daily  a  piece  of  bread  out  of  the 
bakers'  street,  "until  all  the  bread  in  the  city  were  spent. 
Thus  Jer-e-mi'ah  remained  in  the  court  of  the  prison. 

CHAPTER    XXXVIII. 

Jeremiah  put  into  the  dungeon  of  Malchiah. 

THEN  Sheph-a-ti'ah  the  son  of  Mat'tan,  and  Ged-a-li'ah 
the- son  of  Pash'ur,  and  "Ju'cal  the  son  of  Shel-e-mi'ah, 
and  'Pash'ur  the  son  of  Mal-chi'ah,  ''heard  the  words  that 
Jer-e-mi'ah  had  spoken  unto  all  the  people,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lokd,  ''He  that  remaineth  in  this  city 
shall  die  by  the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by  the  pesti- 
lence :  but  he  that  goeth  forth  to  the  Chal-de'ans  shall  live ; 
for  he  shall  have  his  life  for  a  prey,  and  shall  live. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  'This  city  shall  surely  be  given  into 
the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  army,  which  shall  take  it. 

4  Therefore  the  princes  said  unto  the  king,  We  beseech  thee, 
■'^let  this  man  be  put  to  death ;  for  thus  he  weakeneth  the  hands 
of  the  men  of  war  that  remain  in  this  city,  and  the  hands  of  all 
the  people,  in  speaking  such  words  unto  them  :  for  this  man 
seeketh  not  the  fwelfare  of  this  people,  but  the  hurt. 

5  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  said,  Behold,  he  is  in  your  hand : 
for  the  king  is  not  he  that  can  do  any  thing  against  you. 

6  "Then  took  they  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  cast  him  into  the  dun- 
geon of  Mal-chi'ah  the  son  ||  of  Ham'me-Iech,  that  was  in  the 
court  of  the  prison :  and  they  let  down  Jer-e-mi'ah  with 
cords.  And  in  the  dungeon  there  was  no  water,  but  mire : 
so  Jer-e-mi'ah  sunk  in  the  mire. 

7  ^'■Now  when  E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'pi-an,  one  of  the 
eunuchs  which  was  in  the  king's  house,  heard  that  they 
had  put  Jer-e-mi'ah  in  the  dungeon ;  the  king  then  sitting 
in  the  gate  of  Ben'ja-min ; 


10  For  though  ye  had  smitten  the  whole  army  of  the 
Chal-de'ans  that  fight  against  you,  and  there  remained 
but  'wounded  men  among  them,  yet  should  they  rise 
up  every  man  in  his  tent,  and  burn  this  city  with  fire. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  that  when  the  army  of  the 
Chal-de'ans  was  broken  up  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  fear 

12  of  Pha'raoh's  army,  then  Jer-e-mi'ah  went  forth  out  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  to  go  into  the  land  of  Ben'ja-min,  to  receive 

13  his  portion  Hhere  in  the  midst  of  the  people.  And 
when  he  was  in  the  gate  of  Ben'ja-min,  a  captain  of 
the  ward  was  there,  whose  name  was  I-ri'jah,  the  son 
of  Shel-e-mi'ah,  the  son  of  Han-a-ni'ah  ;  and  he  laid 
hold  on  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  saying,  Thou  fallest 

14  away  to  the  Chal-de'ans.  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah,  It 
is  false ;  I  fall  not  away  to  the  Chal-de'ans ;  but  he 
hearkened  not  to  him  :  so  I-ri'jah  laid  hold  on  Jer-e 

15mi'ah,  and  brought  him  to  the  princes.  And  the 
princes  were  wroth  with  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  smote  him, 
and  put  him  in  prison  in  the  house  of  Jon'a-than  the 

16 scribe;  for  they  had  made  that  the  prison.  When 
Jer-e-mi'ah  was  come  into  theMungeon  house,  and  into 
the  cells,  and  Jer-e-mi'ah  had  remained  there  many  days; 

17  then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  sent,  and  fetched  him  :  and 
the  king  asked  him  secretly  in  his  house,  and  said.  Is 
there  any  word  from  the  Lord  ?  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  said. 
There  is.     He  said  also,  Thou  shalt  be  delivered  into 

18  the  handof  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon.  Moreover  Jer-e-mi'ah 
said  unto  king  Zed-e-ki'ah,  Wherein  have  I  sinned 
against  thee,  or  against  thy  servants,  or  against  this 

1 9  people,  that  ye  ha ve  put  me  in  prison  ?  Where  now  are 
your  prophets  which  prophesied  unto  you,  saying. 
The  king  of  Bab'y-lon  shall  not  come  against  you,  nor 

20 against  this  land?  And  now  hear,  I  pray  thee,  O  my 
lord  the  king :  let  my  supplication,  1  pray  thee,  *be 
accepted  before  thee ;  that  thou  cause  me  not  to  re- 
turn to  the  house  of  Jon'a-than  the  scribe,  lest  I  die 

21  there.  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  commanded,  and 
they  committed  Jer-e-mi'ah  into  the  court  of  the  guard, 
and  they  gave  him  daily  a  loaf  of  bread  out  of  the 
bakers'  street,  until  all  the  bread  in  the  city  was  spent, 
Thus  Jer-e-miah  remained  in  thie  court  of  the  guard. 

OO  And  Sheph-a-ti'ah  the  son  of  Mat'tan,  and  Ged-a-li'ah 
the  son  of  Pash'hur,and  Ju'cal  the  son  of  Shel-e-mi'ah, 
and  Pash'hur  the  son  of  Mal-chi'ah,  heard  the  words 

2  that  Jer-e-mi'ah  spake  unto  all  the  people,  saying,Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  He  that  abideth  in  this  city  shall  die 
by  the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence :  but 
he  that  goeth  forth  to  the  Chal-de'ans  shall  live,  and  his 
life  shall  be  unto  him  for  a  prey,  and  he  shall  live. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  This  city  shall  surely  be  given 
into  the  hand  of  the  army  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and 

4  he  shall  take  it.  Then  the  princes  said  unto  the  king. 
Let  this  man,  we  pray  thee,  be  put  to  death;  foras- 
much as  he  weakeneth  the  hands  of  the  men  of  war 
that  remain  in  this  city,  and  the  hands  of  all  the  people, 
in  speaking  such  words  unto  them;  for  this  man 
seeketh  not  the  welfare  of  this  people,  but  the  hurt. 

5  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  said,  Behold,  he  is  in  your 
hand  •  for  the  king  is  not  he  that  can  do  any  thing 

6  against  you.  Then  took  they  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  cast 
him  into  the  'dungeon  of  Mal-chi'ah  ^the  king's  son, 
that  was  in  the  court  of  the  guard :  and  they  let 
down  Jer-e-mi'ah  with  cords.  And  in  the  dungeon 
there  was  no  water,  but  mire  :  and  Jer-e-mi'ah  sank 

7  in  the  mire.  Now  when  E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'- 
pi-an, an  eunuch,  which  was  in  the  king's  house, 
heard  that  they  had  put  Jer-e-mi'ah  in  the  dungeon  ; 
the  king  then   sitting   in    the  gate  of  Ben'ja-min;

8  E'bed-me'lech  went  forth  out  of  the  king's  house,  and 
spake  to  the  king,  saying, 

9  My  lord  the  king,  these  men  have  done  evil  in  all  that 
they  have  done  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  whom  they 
have  cast  into  the  dungeon ;  and  fhe  is  like  to  die  for  hun- 
ger in  the  place  where  he  is:  for  there  is  no  more  bread 
in  the  city. 

10  Then  the  king  commanded  E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'- 
pi-an,  saying.  Take  from  hence  thirty  men  fwith  thee,  and 
take  up  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  out  of  the  dungeon,  before 
he  die. 

11  So  E'bed-me'lech  took  the  men  with  him,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  the  king  under  the  treasury,  and  took  thence 
old  cast  clouts  and  old  rotten  rags,  and  let  them  down  by 
cords  into  the  dungeon  to  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

12  And  E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'pi-an  said  unto  Jer-e- 
mi'ah,  Put  now  these  old  cast  clouts  and  rotten  rags  under 
thine  armholes  under  the  cords.     And  Jer-e-mi'ah  did  so. 

13  'So  they  drew  up  Jer-e-mi'ah  with  cords,  and  took  him 
up  out  of  the  dungeon;  and  Jer-e-mi'ah  remained  *in  the 
court  of  the  prison. 

14  ^Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  sent,  and  took  Jer-e-mi'ah 
the  prophet  unto  him  into  the  1|  third  entry  that  is  in  the 
house  of  the  Lobd:  and  the  king  said  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  I 
will  ask  thee  a  thing ;  hide  nothing  from  me. 

15  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  Zed-e-ki'ah,  If  I  declare  it 
unto  thee,  wilt  thou  not  surely  put  me  to  death?  and  if  I 
give  thee  counsel,  wilt  thou  not  hearken  unto  me  ? 

16  So  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  sware  secretly  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
saying,  As  the  Loed  liveth,  'that  made  us  this  soul,  I  will 
not  put  thee  to  death,  neither  will  I  give  thee  into  the  hand 
of  these  men  that  seek  thy  life. 

17  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  Zed-e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  If  thou  wilt  as- 
suredly "go  forth  "unto  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  princes,  then 
thy  soul  shall  live,  and  this  city  shall  not  be  burned  with 
fire ;  and  thou  shalt  live,  and  thine  house : 

18  But  if  thou  wilt  not  go  forth  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's 
princes,  then  shall  this  city  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the 
Chal-de'ans,  and  they  shall  burn  it  with  fire,  and  "thou  shalt 
not  escape  out  of  their  hand. 

19  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  said  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  I  am 
afraid  of  the  Jews  that  are  fallen  to  the  Chal-de'ans,  lest  they 
deliver  me  into  their  hand,  and  they  ''mock  me. 

20  But  Jer-e-mi'ah  said.  They  shall  not  deliver  thee.  Obey, 
I  beseech  thee,  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  which  I  speak  unto 
thee :  so  it  shall  be  well  unto  thee,  and  thy  soul  shall  live. 

21  But  if  thou  refuse  to  go  forth,  this  is  the  word  that  the 
Lord  hath  shewed  me : 

22  And,  behold,  all  the  women  that  are  left  in  the  king  of 
Ju'dah's  house  shall  be  brought  forth  to  the  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon's  princes,  and  those  women  shall  say,  fThy  friends  have 
set  thee  on,  and  have  prevailed  against  thee :  thy  feet  are 
sunk  in  the  mire,  and  they  are  turned  away  back. 

23  So  they  shall  bring  out  all  thy  wives  and  «thy  chil- 
dren to  the  Chal-de'ans :  and  'thou  shalt  not  escape  out 
of  their  hand,  but  shalt  be  taken  by  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon :  and  fthou  shalt  cause  this  city  to  be  burned 
with  fire. 

24  ^Then  said  Zed-e-ki'ah  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  Let  no  man 
know  of  these  words,  and  thou  shalt  not  die. 

26  But  if  the  princes  hear  that  I  have  talked  with  thee, 
and  they  come  unto  thee,  and  say  unto  thee.  Declare  unto 
us  now  what  thou  hast  said  unto  the  king,  hide  it  not  from 
us,  and  we  will  not  put  thee  to  death ;  also  what  the  king 
said  unto  thee: 

26  Then  thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  'I  presented  my  sup- 
plication before  the  king,  that  he  would  not  cause  me  to 
return  to  Jon'a-than's  house,  to  die  there. 


8  E'bed-me'lech  went  forth  out  of  the  king's  house, 

9  and  spake  to  the  king,  saying.  My  lord  the  king, 
these  men  have  done  evil  in  all  that  they  have  done 
to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  whom  they  have  cast  into 
the  dungeon ;  and  'he  is  like  to  die  in  the  place 
where  he  is  because  of  the  famine :    for  there  is  no 

10  more  bread  in  the  city.  Then  the  king  commanded 
E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'pi-an,  saying.  Take  from 
hence  thirty  men  with  thee,  and  take  up  Jer-e-mi'ah 

lithe  prophet  out  of  the  dungeon,  before  he  die.  So 
E'bed-me'lech  took  the  men  with  him,  and  went  into 
the  house  of  the  king  under  the  treasury,  and  took 
thence  old  cast  clouts  and  old  rotten  rags,  and  let 
them  down  by  cords  into  the  dungeon  to  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

12  And  E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'pi-an  said  unto  Jer-e- 
mi'ah,  Put  now  these  old  cast  clouts  and  rotten  rags 
under  thine  armholes  under  the  cords.     And  Jer-e- 

13mi'ah  did  so.  So  they  drew  up  Jer-e-mi'ah  with  the 
cords,  and  took  him  up  out  of  the  dungeon :  and  Jer- 
e-mi'ah  remained  in  the  court  of  the  guard. 

14  Then  Zed-e-ki'ah  thekingsent,andtook  Jer-e-mi'ah 
the  prophet  unto  him  into  the  third  entry  that  is  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and  the  king  said  unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah,  I  will  ask  thee  a  thing;  hide  nothing  from 

15  me.  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  Zed-e-ki'ah,  If  I 
declare  it  unto  thee,  wilt  thou  not  surely  put  me  to 
death?    and   if  I   give   thee  counsel,  thou  wilt  not 

16  hearken  unto  me.  So  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  sware 
secretly  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying,  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
that  made  us  this  soul,  I  will  not  put  thee  to  death, 
neither  will  I  give  thee  into  the  hand  of  these  men 

17  that  seek  thy  life.  Then  said  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  Zed- 
e-ki'ah,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el :  If  thou  wilt  go  forth  unto  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon's  princes,  then  thy  soul  shall  live,  and 
this  city  shall  not  be  burned  with   fire;    and   thou 

18  shalt  live,  and  thine  house:  but  if  thou  wilt  not  go 
forth  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  princes,  then  shall 
this  city  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans, 
and  they  shall  burn  it  with  fire,  and  thou  shalt  not 

19  escape  out  of  their  hand.  And  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king 
said  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  I  am  afraid  of  the  Jews  that  are 
fallen  away  to  the  Chal-de'ans,  lest  they  deliver  me 

20into  their  hand,  and  they  mock  me.  But  Jer-e-mi'ah 
said.  They  shall  not  deliver  thee.  Obey,  I  beseech 
thee,  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  in  that  which  I  speak 
unto  thee :  so  it  shall  be  well  with  thee,  and  thy  soul 

21  shall  live.     But  if  thou  refuse  to  go  forth,  this  is  the 

22  word  that  the  Lord  hath  shewed  me :  Behold,  all 
the  women  that  are  left  in  the  king  of  Ju'dah's  house 
shall  be  brought  forth  tothe  kingof  Bab'y-lon'sprinces, 
and  those  women  shall  say,  ^Thy  familiar  friends 
have  'set  thee  on,  and  have  prevailed  over  thee  :  now 
that  thy  feet  are  sunk  in  the  mire,  they  are  turned 

23  away  back.  And  they  shall  bring  out  all  thy  wives 
and  thy  children  to  the  Chal-de'ans:  and  thou 
shalt  not  escape  out  of  their  hand,  but  shalt  be 
taken  by  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon :  and 
*thou  shalt  cause  this  city  to  be  burned  with  fire. 

24  Then  said  Zed-e-ki'ah  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  Let  no  man 
know    of   these    words,    and    thou    shalt    not   die. 

25  But  if  the  princes  hear  that  I  have  talked  with 
thee,  and  they  come  unto  thee,  and  say  unto 
thee.  Declare  unto  us  now  what  thou  hast  said  unto 
the  king;  hide  it  not  from  us,  and  we  will  not  put 
thee  to  death  :    also  what  the  king  said  unto  thee :

27  Then  came  all  the  princes  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  asked 
him :  and  he  told  them  according  to  all  these  words  that  the 
king  had  commanded.  So  fthey  left  off  speaking  with  him ; 
for  the  matter  was  not  perceived. 

28  So  "Jer-e-mi'ah  abode  in  the  court  of  the  prison  until 
the  day  that  Je-ru'sa-lera  was  taken :  and  he  was  there  when 
Je-ru'sa-lem  was  taken. 

CHAPTER   XXXIX. 

Jerusalem  is  taken — Zedekiah  is  made  blind, and  sent  to  Babylon. 

IN  the  "ninth  year  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  in  the 
tenth  month,  came  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
and  all  his  army  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  they  besieged  it. 

2  And  in  the  eleventh  year  of  Zed-e-ki'ah,  in  the  fourth 
month,  the  ninth  day  of  the  month,  the  city  was  broken  up. 

3  'And  all  the  princes  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  in, 
and  sat  in  the  middle  gate,  even  Ner'gal-sha-re'zer,  Sam'- 
gar-ne'bo,  Sar-se'chim,  Rab'sa-ris,  Ner'gal-sha-re'zer,  Rab'- 
mag,  with  all  the  residue  of  the  princes  of  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon. 

4  ^°And  it  came  to  pass,  thai  when  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king 
of  Ju'dah  saw  them,  and  all  the  men  of  war,  then  they  fled, 
and  went  forth  out  of  the  city  by  night,  by  the  way  of  the 
king's  garden,  by  the  gate  betwixt  the  two  walls:  and  he 
went  out  the  way  of  the  plain. 

5  But  the  Chal-de'ans'  army  pursued  after  them,  and  ''over- 
took Zed-e-ki'ah  in  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho :  and  when  they 
had  taken  him,  they  brought  him  up  to  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  'Rib'lah  in  the  land  of  Ha'math,  where 
he  tgave  judgment  upon  him. 

6  Then  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  slew  the  sons  of  Zed-e-ki'ah 
in  Rib'lah  before  his  eyes:  also  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  slew 
all  the  nobles  of  Ju'dah. 

7  Moreover  •'he  put  out  Zed-e-ki'ah's  eyes,  and  bound  him 
fwith  chains,  to  carry  him  to  Bab'y-lon. 

8  51' And  the  Chal-de'ans  burned  the  king's  house,  and  the 
houses  of  the  people,  with  fire,  and  brake  down  the  walls  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9  *Then  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  ||  fcaptain  of  the  guard  carried 
away  captive  into  Bab'y-lon  the  remnant  of  the  people  that 
remained  in  the  city,  and  those  that  fell  away,  that  fell  to 
him,  with  the  rest  of  the  people  that  remained. 

10  But  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  left  of  the 
poor  of  the  people,  which  had  nothing,  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah, 
and  gave  them  vineyards  and  fields  fat  the  same  time. 

1 1  ^No  w  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  gave  charge 
concerning  Jer-e-mi'ah  fto  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of 
the  guard,  saying, 

12  Take  him,  and  flook  well  to  him,  and  do  him  no  harm; 
but  do  unto  him  even  as  he  shall  say  unto  thee. 

13  So  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  sent,  and 
Neb-u-shas'ban,  Rab'sa-ris,  and  Ner'gal-sha-re'zer,  Rab'mag, 
and  all  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon's  princes ; 

14  Even  they  sent,  'and  took  Jer-e-mi'ah  out  of  the  court 
of  the  prison,  and  committed  him  ''unto  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son 
of  'A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  that  he  should  carry  him 
home:  so  he  dwelt  among  the  people. 

15  ^Now  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
while  he  was  shut  up  in  the  court  of  the  prison,  saying, 

16  Go  and  speak  to  ""E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'pi-an,  say- 
ing. Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ; 
Behold,  "I  will  bring  my  words  upon  this  city  for  evil,  and 
not  for  good;  and  they  shall  be  accomplished  in  that  day 
before  thee. 

17  But  I  will  deliver  thee  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord: 
and  thou  shalt  not  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the  men  of 
whom  thou  art  afraid. 

18  For  I  will  surely  deliver  thee,  and  thou  shalt  not  fall 
by  the  sword,  but  "thy  life  shall  be  for  a  prey  unto  thee; 
''because  thou  hast  put  ti»y  fust  in  me,  saith  the  Lord. 


27  Then  came  all  the  princes  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and 
asked  him :  and  he  told  them  according  to  all  these 
words  that  the  king  had  commanded.  So  they 
left  off  speaking  with  him ;  for  the  matter  was  not 

28  'perceived.  So  Jer-e-mi'ah  abode  in  the  court  of  the 
guard  until  the  day  that  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  taken. 

vv  And  it  came  to  pass  when  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  taken, 
^(in  the  ninth  year  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  kingof  Ju'dah,inthe 
tenth  month,  came  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon  and  all  his  army  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  be- 

2  sieged  it ;  in  the  eleventh  year  of  Zed-e-ki'ah,  in  the 
fourth  month,  the  ninth  day  of  the  month,  a  breach 

3  was  made  in  the  city :)  that  all  the  princes  of  the 
kingof  Bab'y-lon  came  in,  and  sat  in  the  middle  gate, 
even  Ner'gal-sha-re'zer,  Sam'gar-ne'bo,  Sar-ee'chim, 
'Rab'sa-ris,  Ner'gal-sha-re'zer,  'Rab'mag,  with  all  the 

4  rest  of  the  princes  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon.  And  it 
came  to  pass  that  when  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  of  Ju'dah 
and  all  the  men  of  war  saw  them,  then  they  fled, 
and  went  forth  out  of  the  city  by  night,  by  the  way 
of  the  king's  garden,  by  the  gate  betwixt  the  two 
walls:  and  he  went  out  the  way   of  the  Ar'a-bah. 

6  But  the  army  of  the  Chal-de'ans  pursued  after  them, 
and  overtook  Zed-e-ki'ah  in  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho : 
and  when  they  had  taken  him,  they  brought  him  up 
to  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah 
in  the  land  of  Ha'math,  and  he  ^gave  judgement  upon 

6  him.  Then  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  slew  the  sons  of 
Zed-e-ki'ah  in  Rib'lah  before  his  eyes :  also  the  king 

7  of  Bab'y-lon  slew  all  the  nobles  of  Ju'dah.  Moreover 
he   put   out    Zed-e-ki'ah's  eyes,  and  bound  him   in 

8  fetters,  to  carry  him  to  Bab'y-lon.  And  the  Chal- 
de'ans  burned  the  king's  house,  and  the  houses  of 
the  people,  with  fire,  and  brake  down  the  walls  of  Je- 

9  ru'sa-lem.  Then  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  ^captain  of  the 
guard  carried  away  captive  into  Bab'y-lon  the  resi- 
due of  the  people  that  remained  in  the  city,  the 
deserters  also,  that  fell  away  to  him,  and  the  residue 

10  of  the  people  that  remained.  But  Neb-u-zar-a'dan 
the  captain  of  the  guard,  left  of  the  poor  of  the 
people,  which  had  nothing,  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah, 
and  gave   them  vineyards   and  fields  at   the    same 

11  time.  Now  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  gave 
charge  concerning  Jer-e-mi'ah  to  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the 

12  captain  of  the  guard,  saying.  Take  him,  and  look 
well  to  him,  and  do  him  no  harm ;  but  do  unto  him 

13  even  as  he  shall  say  unto  thee.  So  Neb-u-zar-a'dan 
the  captain  of  the  guard  sent,  and  Neb-u-shaz'ban, 
Rab'sa-ris,  and  Ner'gal-sha-re'zer,  Rab'mag,  and  all 

14  the  chief  officers  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon ;  they  sent, 
and  took  Jer-e-mi'ah  out  of  the  court  of  the  guard, 
and  committed  him  unto  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'- 
kam, the  son  of  Sha'phan,  that  he  should  carry  him 
home :  so  he  dwelt  among  the  people. 

15  Now  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,

IGsaying,  Go,  and  speak  to  E'bed-me'lech  the  E-thi-o'- 
pi-an, saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el :  Behold,  I  will  bring  my  words  upon 
this  city  for  evil,  and  not  for  good ;  and  they  ^shall 

17  be  accomplished  before  thee  in  that  day.  But  I 
will  deliver  thee  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  :  and 
thou  shalt  not  be  given  into  the  hand  of  the  men  of 

18  whom  thou  art  afraid.  For  I  will  surely  save  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  not  fall  by  the  sword,  but  thy  life 
shall  be  for  a  prey  unto  thee:  because  thou  hast  put 
thy  trust  in  me,  saith  the  Lord.

CHAPTER     XIv. 

Jeremiah,  being  set  free  by  Nebuzar-adan,goeth  to  Gedaliah. 

THE  word  which  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  LoRD,'"aft€r 
that  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  had  let  him 
go  from  Ra'mahjwhen  he  had  taken  him  being  bound  in  [{chains 
among  all  that  were  carried  away  captive  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  and 
Ju'dah,  which  were  carried  away  captive  unto  Bab'y-lon. 

2  And  the  captain  of  the  guard  took  Jer-e-mi'ah,  and  'said 
unto  him,  The  Lord  thy  God  hath  pronounced  this  evil 
upon  this  place. 

3  Now  the  Lord  hath  brought  it,  and  done  according  as  he 
hath  said :  'because  ye  have  sinned  against  the  Lord,  and  have 
not  obeyed  his  voice,  therefore  this  thing  is  come  upon  you. 

4  And  now,  behold,  I  loose  thee  this  day  from  the  chains 
which  II  were  upon  thine  hand.  ''If  it  seem  good  unto  thee 
to  come  with  me  into  Bab'y-lon,  come ;  and  flwill  look  well 
unto  thee ;  but  if  it  seem  ill  unto  thee  to  come  with  me  into 
Bab'y-lon,  forbear:  behold, 'all  the  land  is  before  thee:  whither 
it  seemeth  good  and  convenient  for  thee  to  go,  thither  go. 

5  Now  while  he  was  not  yet  gone  back,  he  said,  Go  back  also 
to  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  -^whom 
the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  hath  made  governor  over  the  cities  of 
Ju'dah,  and  dwell  with  him  among  the  people :  or  go  where- 
soever it  seemeth  convenient  unto  thee  to  go.  So  the  captain 
of  the  guard  gave  him  victuals  and  a  reward,  and  let  him  go. 

6  'Then  went  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of 
A-hi'kam  to  *Miz'pah;  and  dwelt  with  him  among  the  peo- 
ple that  were  left  in  the  land. 

7  ^'Now  when  all  the  captains  of  the  forces  which  were  in 
the  fields,  even  they  and  their  men,  heard  that  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  had  made  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  gov- 
ernor in  the  land,  and  had  committed  unto  him  men,  and 
women,  and  children,  and  of  *the  poor  of  the  land,  of  them 
that  were  not  carried  away  captive  to  Bab'y-lon ; 

8  Then  they  came  to  Ged-a-li'ah  to  Miz'pah,  'even  Ish'- 
ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  Jo-ha'nan  and  Jon'a- 
than  the  sons  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Tan'- 
hu-meth,  and  the  sons  of  E'phai  the  Ne-toph'a-thite,  and 
Jez-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  a  Ma-ach'a-thite,  they  and  their  men. 

9  And  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan 
sware  unto  them  and  to  their  men,  saying,  Fear  not  to  serve 
the  Chal-de'ans:  dwell  in  the  land,  and  serve  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  and  it  shall  be  well  with  you. 

10  As  for  me,  behold,  I  will  dwell  at  Miz'pah,  fto  serve 
the  Chal-de'ans,  which  will  come  unto  us:  but  ye,  gather 
ye  wine,  and  summer  fruits,  and  oil,  and  put  them  in  your 
vessels,  and  dwell  in  your  cities  that  ye  have  taken. 

11  Likewise  when  all  the  Jews  that  were  in  Mo'ab,  and 
among  the  Am'mon-ites,  and  in  E'dom,  and  that  were  in  all 
the  countries,  heard  that  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  left  a 
rem'nant  of  Ju'dah,  and  that  he  had  set  over  them  Ged- 
a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan ; 

12  Even  all  the  Jews  returned  out  of  all  places  whither 
they  were  driven,  and  came  to  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  to  Ged-a- 
li'ah,  unto  Miz'pah,  and  gathered  wine  and  summer  fruits 
very  much. 

13  ^Moreover,  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  that  were  in  the  fields,  came  to  Ged-a- 
li'ah  to  Miz'pah, 

14  And  said  unto  him.  Dost  thou  certainly  know  that 
"Ba'al-is  the  king  of  the  Am'mon-ites  hath  sent  Ish'ma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  fto  slay  thee?  But  Ged-a-li'ah  the 
son  of  A-hi'kam  believed  them  not. 

15  Then  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah  spake  to  Ged-a- 
li'ah  in  Miz'pah  secretly,  saying.  Let  me  go,  I  pray  tliee,  and 
I  will  .slay  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'aii,  and  no  man 
shall  know  it :  wherefore  should  he  slay  thee,  that  all  the 
Jews  which  are  gathered  unto  thee  should  be  scattered,  and 
the  remnant  in  Ju'dah  perish  ? 


'^U  The  word  which  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  from  the  Lord, 
after  that  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  had 
let  him  go  from  Ra'mah,  when  he  had  taken  him  being 
bound  in  chains  among  all  the  captives  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
and  Ju'dah,  which  were  carried  away  captive  unto 

2  Bab'y-lon.  Andthecaptain  ofthe  guard  took  Jer-e-mi'ah, 
and  said  unto  him.  The  Lord  thy  God  pronounced 

3  this  evil  upon  this  place :  and  the  Lord  hath  brought 
it,  and  done  according  as  he  spake ;  because  ye  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord,  and  have  not  obeyed  his 

4  voice,  therefore  this  thing  is  come  upon  you.  And 
now,  behold,  I  loose  thee  this  day  from  the  chains  which 
are  upon  thine  hand.  If  it  seem  good  unto  thee  to 
come  with  me  into  Bab'y-lon,  come,and  I  will  look  well 
unto  thee ;  but  if  it  seem  ill  unto  thee  to  come  with 
me  into  Bab'y-lon,  forbear :  behold,  all  the  land  is  be- 
fore thee;  whither  it  seemeth  good  and  'convenient 

5  unto  thee  to  go,  thither  go.  Now  while  he  was  not 
yet  gone  back.  Go  back  then, said  he,  to  Ged-a-li'ah  the 
sonof  A-hi'kam,theson  of  Sha'phan,whom  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  hath  made  governor  over  the  cities  of  Ju'dah, 
and  dwell  with  him  among  the  people :  or  go  where- 
soever it  seemeth  'convenient  unto  thee  to  go.  So  the 
captain  of  the  guard  gave  him  ^victuals  and  a  present, 

6  and  let  him  go.  Then  went  Jer-e-mi'ah  unto  Ged-a- 
li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  to  Miz'pah,  and  dwelt  with 
him  among  the  people  that  were  left  in  the  land. 

7  ^Now  when  all  the  captains  of  the  forces  which 
were  in  the  fields,  even  they  and  their  men,  heard  that 
the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  mack,  Sed-a-li'ah  the  son  I 
of  A-hi'kam  governor  in  the  land,  and  had  committed 
unto  him  men,  and  women,  and  children,  *and  of  the 
poorest  of  the  land,  of  them  that  were  not  carried 

8  away  captive  to  Bab'y-lon ;  then  they  came  to  Ged-a- 
li'ah  to  Miz'pah,  even  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah, 
and  Jo-ha'nan  and  Jon'a-than  the  sonsof  Ka-re'ah,and 
Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Tan'hu-meth,  and  the  sons  of 
E'phai  the  Ne-toph'a-thite,  and  Jez-a-ni'ah  the  son  ofthe 

9  Ma-ac'a-thite,  they  and  their  men.  And  Ged-a-li'ah  the 
son  of  A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan  sware  unto  them 
and  to  their  men,  saying.  Fear  not  to  serve  the 
Chal-de'ans :  dwell  in  the  land,  and  serve  the  king  of 

10  Bab'y-lon,  and  it  shall  be  well  with  you.  As  for  me, 
behold,  I  will  dwell  at  Miz'pah,  to  stand  before  the 
Chal-de'ans,  which  shall  come  unto  us :  but  ye,  gather 
ye  wine  and  summer  fruits  and  oil,  and  put  them  in 
your   vessels,  and  dwell  in  your  cities  that  ye  have 

11  taken.  Likewise  when  all  the  Jews  that  were  in 
Mo'ab,  and  among  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  in 
E'dom,  and  that  were  in  all  the  countries,  heard  that 
the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  left  a  remnant  of  Ju'dah,  and 
that  he  had  set  over  them  Ged-a-li'ah  the  sonof  A-hi'- 

12  kam,  the  son  of  Sha'phan ;  then  all  the  Jews  returned 
out  of  all  places  whither  they  were  driven,  and  came 
to  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  to  Ged-a-li'ah,  unto  Miz'pah, 
and  gathered  wine  and  summer  fruits  very  much. 

13  Moreover  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all 
the  captains  of  the  forces  that  were  in  the  fields,  came 

14  to  Ged-a-li'ah  to  Miz'pah,  and  said  untohim,Dost  thou 
know  that  Ba'al-is  the  kingof  the  childrenof  Am'mon 
hath  sent  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  to  take  thy 
life?  But  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  believed  them 

15  not.  Then  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah  spake  to  Ged-a- 
li'ah  in  Miz'pah  secretly,  saying,Let  me  go,  I  pray  thee, 
and  I  will  slay  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah, and  no 
man  shall  know  it:  wherefore  should  he  take  thy  life, 
that  all  the  Jews  which  are  gathered  unto  thee  should 
be  scattered,   and   the    remnant  of  Ju'dah   perish?!

16  But  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  said  unto  Jo-ha'- 
nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  Thou  shalt  not  do  this  thing :  for 
thou  speakest  falsely  of  Ish'ma-el. 

CHAPTER    XLI. 

Ishniael  treacherously  kitteth  Gedaliah  and  others, 

"VTOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seventh  month,  Hhai  Ish'- 
-lN  ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  E-Iish'a-ma,  of 
the  seed  royal,  and  the  princes  of  the  king,  even  ten  men 
with  him,  came  unto  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  to  Miz'- 
pah ;  and  there  they  did  eat  bread  together  in  Miz'pah. 

2  Then  rose  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  the  ten 
men  that  were  with  him,  and  ''smote  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of 
A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'phan  with  the  sword,  and  slew  him, 
whom  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  made  governor  over  the  land. 

3  Ish'ma-el  also  slew  all  the  Jews  that  were  with  him,  even 
with  Ged-a-li'ah,  at  Miz'pah,  and  the  Chal-de'ans  that  were 
found  there,  and  the  men  of  war. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  the  second  day  after  he  had  slain 
Ged-a-li'ah,  and  no  man  knew  it, 

5  That  there  came  certain  from  She'chem,  from  Shi'loh, 
and  from  Sa-ma'ri-a,  even  fourscore  men,  'having  their  beards 
shaven,  and  their  clothes  rent,  and  having  cut  themselves, 
with  offerings  and  incense  in  their  hand,  to  bring  them,  to 
■•the  house  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  went  forth  from 
Miz'pah  to  meet  them,  fweeping  all  along  as  he  went :  and 
it  came  to  pass,  as  he  met  them,  he  said  unto  them,  Come 
to  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam. 

7  And  it  was  so,  when  they  came  into  the  midst  of  the  city, 
that  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  slew  them,  and  cast  them 
into  the  midst  of  the  pit,  he,  and  the  men  that  were  with  him. 

8  But  ten  men  were  found  among  them  that  said  unto 
Ish'ma-el,  Slay  us  not:  for  we  have  treasures  in  the  field, 
of  wheat,  and  of  barley,  and  of  oil,  and  of  honey.  So  he 
forbare,  and  slew  them  not  among  their  brethren. 

9  Now  the  pit  wherein  Ish'ma-el  had  cast  all  the  dead 
bodies  of  the  men,  whom  he  had  slain  Hfbecause  of 
Ged-a-li'ah,  was  it%hich  A'sa  the  king  had  made  for  fear  of 
Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is'ra-el :  and  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a- 
ni'ah  filled  it  with  them  that  were  slain. 

10  Then  Ish'ma-el  carried  away  captive  all  the  residue  of 
the  people  that  were  in  Miz'pah,  'even  the  king's  daughters, 
and  all  the  people  that  remained  in  Miz'pah,  *whom  Neb- 
u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  had  committed  to  Ged- 
a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam :  and  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a- 
ni'ah  carried  them  away  captive,  and  departed  to  go  over 
to  'the  Am'mon-ites. 

11  ^But  when  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  *the 
captains  of  the  forces  that  were  with  him,  heard  of  all  the 
evil  that  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  had  done, 

12  Then  they  took  all  the  men,  and  went  to  fight  with 
Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  found  him  by  'the 
great  waters  that  are  in  Gib'e-on. 

13  Now  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  all  the  people  which 
were  with  Ish'ma-el  saw  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and 
all  the  captains  of  the  forces  that  were  with  him,  then  they 
were  glad. 

14  So  all  the  people  that  Ish'ma-el  had  carried  away  cap- 
tive from  Miz'pah  cast  about  and  returned,  and  went  unto 
Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah. 

15  But  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  escaped  from 
Jo-ha'nan  with  eight  men,  and  went  to  the  Am'mon-ites. 

16  Then  took  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  that  were  with  him,  all  the  remnant 
of  the  people  whom  he  had  recovered  from  Ish'ma-el  the 
son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  from  Miz'pah,  after  that  he  had  slain 
Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam,  even  mighty  men  of  war, 
and  the  women,  and  the  children  and  the  eunuchs,  whom  he 
had  brought  again  from  Gib'e-on : 


16  But  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  said  unto  Jo-ha'- 
nan the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  Thou  shalt  not  do  this 
thing :  for  thou  speakest  felsely  of  Ish'ma-el. 

^*-  'Now  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seventh  month,  that 
Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  the  son  of  E-lish'a-ma, 
of  the  seed  royal,  and  one  of  the  chief  officers  of 
the  king,  and  ten  men  with  him,  came  unto  Ged-a- 
li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  to  Miz'pah;    and   there 

2  they  did  eat  bread  together  in  Miz'pah.  Then  arose 
Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  the  ten  men  that 
were  with  him,  and  smote  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'- 
kam the  son  of  Sha'phan  with  the  sword,  and  slew 
him,  whom  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  had  made  governor 

3  over  the  land.  Ish'ma-el  also  slew  all  the  Jews  that 
were  with  him,  even  with  Ged-a-li'ah,  at  Miz'pah,  and 
the  Chal-de'ans  that  were  found  there,  even  the  men 

4  of  war.     And  it  came  to  pass  the  second  day  after 

5  he  had  slain  Ged-a-li'ah,  and  no  man  knew  it,  that 
there  came  certain  from  She'chem,  from  Shi'loh,  and 
from  Sa-ma'ri-a,  even  fourscore  men,  having  their 
beards  shaven  and  their  clothes  rent,  and  having  cut 
themselves,  with  ^oblations  and  frankincense  in  their 

6  hand,  to  bring  them  to  the  house  of  the  Loed.  And 
Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  went  forth  from  Miz'- 
pah to  meet  them,  weeping  all  along  as  he  went; 
and  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  met  them,  he  said  unto 

7  them.  Come  to  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam.  And 
it  was  so,  when  they  came  into  the  midst  of  the 
city,  that  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  slew  them, 
and  cast  them  into  the  midst  of  the  pit,  he,  and  the 

8  men  that  were  with  him.     But  ten  men  were  found 
among  them  that  said  unto  Ish'ma-el,  Slay  us  not 
for  we  have  stores  hidden  in  the  field,  of  wheat,  and 
of  barley,  and  of  oil,  and  of  honey.     So  he  forbare, 

9  and  slew  them  not  among  their  brethren.  Now  the 
pit  wherein  Ish'ma-el  cast  all  the  dead  bodies  of  the 
men  whom  he  had  slain,  by  the  side  of  Ged-a-li'ah, 
(the  same  was  that  which  A'sa  the  king  had  made 
for  fear  of  Ba'a-sha  king  of  Is'ra-el,)  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of 

10  Neth-a-ni'ah  filled  it  with  them  that  were  slain.  Then 
Ish'ma-el  carried  away  captive  all  the  residue  of  the 
people  that  were  in  Miz'pah,  even  the  king's  daugh- 
ters, and  all  the  people  that  remained  in  Miz'pah, 
whom  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  had 
committed  to  Ged-a-1  i'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam :  Ish'ma-el 
the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  carried  them  away  captive, 
and  departed  to  go  over  to  the  children  of  Am  mou. 

1 1  But  when  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  that  were  with  him,  heard  of 
all  the  evil  that  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  had 

12  done,  then  they  took  all  the  men,  and  went  to  fight 
with  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  and  found  him 

13  by  the  great  waters  that  are  in  Gib'e-on.  Now  it 
came  to  pass  that  when  all  the  people  which  were 
with  Ish'ma-el  saw  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and 
all  the  captains  of  the  forces  that  were  with  him,  then 

14  they  were  glad.  So  all  the  people  that  Ish'ma-el  had 
carried  away  captive  from  Miz'pah  cast  about  and 
returned,  and  went  unto  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah. 

15  But  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  escaped  from  Jo- 
ha'nan  with  eight  men,  and  went  to  the  children  of  Am'- 

16  mon.  Thentook  Jo-ha'nan  theson  of  Ka-re'ah, andall  the 
captains  of  the  forces  that  were  with  him,  all  the  rem- 
nant of  the  people  whom  he  had  recovered  from  Ish'- 
ma-el theson  of  Neth-a-ni'ah,  from  Miz'pah,  after  that 
he  had  slain  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam,  even  the 
men  of  war,  and  the  women,  and  the  children,  and  the 
eunuchs,  whom  he  had  brought  again  from  Gib'e-on :

17  And  they  departed,  and  dwelt  in  the  habitation  of  "Chira'- 
ham,  which  is  by  Beth'le-hem,  to  go  to  enter  into  E'gypt, 

18  Because  of  the  Chal-de'ans:  for  they  were  afraid  of 
them,  because  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  had  slain 
Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam,  "whom  the  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon  made  governor  in  the  land. 

CHAPTKR    XIvII. 

Jokanan  desireth  Jeremiah  to  inquire  of  God,  promising  obedience. 

THEN  all  the  captains  of  the  forces,  "and  Jo-ha'nan  the 
sonof  Ka^re'ah,  andJez-a-ni'alithesonofHosh-a-i'ah,and 
all  the  people  irom  the  least  even  unto  the  greatest,  came  near, 

2  And  said  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  ||  Let,  we  beseech 
thee,  our  supplication  be  accepted  before  thee,  and  ''pray  for 
us  unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  even  for  all  this  remnant ;  (for 
we  are  left  but  'a,  few  of  many,  as  thine  eyes  do  behold  us :) 

3  That  the  Lord  thy  God  may  shew  us  ''the  way  wherein 
we  may  walk,  and  the  thing  that  we  may  do. 

4  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  said  unto  them,  I  have 
heard  you;  behold,  I  will  pray  unto  the  Lord  your  God 
according  to  your  words;  and  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
'whatsoever  thing  the  Lord  shall  answer  you,  I  will  declare 
it  unto  you  j  I  will  -^keep  nothing  back  from  you. 

5  Then  they  said  to  Jer-e-mi'ah,  "The  Lord  be  a  true  and 
faithful  witness  between  us,  if  we  do  not  even  according  to  all 
things  for  the  which  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  send  thee  to  us. 

6  Whether  it  be  good,  or  whether  it  be  evil,  we  will  obey 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God,  to  whom  we  send  thee; 
*that  it  may  be  well  with  us,  when  we  obey  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  our  God. 

7  51  And  it  came  to  pass  after  ten  days,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

8  Then  called  he  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the 
captains  of  the  forces  which  were  with  him,  and  all  the 
people  from  the  least  even  to  the  greatest, 

9  And  said  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  unto  whom  ye  sent  me  to  present  your  supplication 
before  him; 

10  If  ye  will  still  abide  in  this  land,  then  *will  I  build  you, 
and  not  pull  you  down ;  and  I  will  plant  you,  and  not  pluck  you 
up :  for  I  *repent  me  of  the  evil  that  I  have  done  unto  you. 

11  Be  not  afraid  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  of  whom  ye  are 
afraid ;  be  not  afraid  of  him,  saith  the  Lord  :  'for  I  am  with 
you,  to  save  you,  and  to  deliver  you  from  his  hand. 

12  And  "I  will  shew  mercies  unto  you,  that  he  may  have 
mercy  upon  you,  and  cause  you  to  return  to  your  own  land. 

13  ^But  if  "ye  say,  We  will  not  dwell  in  this  land,  neither 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God, 

14  Saying,  No ;  but  we  will  go  into  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
where  we  shall  see  no  war,  nor  hear  the  sound  of  tne 
trumpet,  nor  have  hunger  of  bread ;  and  there  will  we  dwell : 

15  And  now  therefore  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye 
remnant  of  Ju'dah;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el :  If  ye  "wholly  set  'your  faces  to  enter  into  E'gypt, 
and  go  to  sojourn  there : 

16  Then  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the  sword,  'which  ye 
feared,  shall  overtake  you  there  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  and 
the  famine,  whereof  ye  were  afraid,  fshall  follow  close  after 
you  there  in  E'gypt;  and  there  ye  shall  die. 

17  fSo  shall  it  be  with  all  the  men  that  set  their  feces  to 
go  into  E'gypt  to  sojourn  there ;  they  shall  die  'by  the 
sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence :  and  'none  of 
them  shall  remain  or  escape  from  the  evil  that  I  will  bring 
upon  them. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el; 
As  mine  anger  and  my  fury  hath  been  "poured  forth  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  so  shall  my  fury  be  poured 
forth  upon  you,  when  ye  shall  enter  intfl  E'gypt:  and  "ye 
shall  be  an  execration,  and  an  astonishment,  and  a  curse, 
■and  a  reproach ;  and  y^.  shall  see  this  place  no  naore. 


17  and  they  departed,  and  dwell  in  'Ge'ruth  Chim'ham, 
which  is  by  Beth'-le-hem,  to  go  to  enter  into  E'gypt, 

18 because  of  tha  Chal-de'ans:  for  they  were  afraid  of 
them,  because  Ish'ma-el  the  son  of  Neth-a-ni'ah  had 
slain  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam,  whom  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon  made  governor  over  the  land. 

^^  Then  all  the  captains  of  the  forces,  and  Jo-ha'nan  the 
sonofKa-re'ah,and^Jez-a-ni'ahthesonofHosh-a-i'ah, 
and  all  the  people  from  the  least  even  unto  the  greatest, 

2  came  near,  and  said  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  Let, 
we  pray  thee,  our  supplication  ^be  accepted  before 
thee,  and  pray  for  us  unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  even  for 
all  this  remnant ;  for  we  are  left  but  a  few  of  many, 

3  as  thine  eyes  do  behold  us :  that  the  Lord  thy  God 
may  shew  us  the  way  wherein  we  should  walk,  and 

4  the  thing  that  we  should  do.  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  said  unto  them,  I  have  heard  you ;  behold,  I 
will  pray  unto  the  Lord  your  God  according  to  your 
worcls ;  and  it  shall  come  to  pass  that  whatsoever  thing 
the  Lord  shall  answer  you,  I  will  declare  it  unto  you : 

5 1  will  keep  nothing  back  from  you.  Then  they  said 
to  Jer-e-mi'ah,  The  Lord  be  a  true  and  feithful  witness 
^amongst  us,  if  we  do  not  even  according  to  all  the 
word  wherewith  the  Lord  thy  God  shall  send  thee 

6  to  us.  Whether  it  be  good,  or  whether  it  be  evil, 
we  will  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God,  to 
whom  we  send  thee ;  that  it  may  be  well  with  us, 
when  we  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass  after  ten  days,  that  the  word 

8  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah.  Then  called  he 
Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  captains  of 
the  forces  which  were  with  him,  and  all  the  people 

9  from  the  least  even  to  the  greatest,  and  said  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  unto 
whom  ye  sent  me  to  "present  your  supplication  before 

10  him :  If  ye  will  still  abide  in  this  land,  then  will  I  build 
you,  and  not  pull  you  down,  and  I  will  plant  you,  and 
not  pluck  you  up :  for  I  repent  me  of  the  evil  that  I 

11  have  done  unto  you.  Be  not  afraid  of  the  king  of 
Bab'y-lon,  of  whom  ye  are  afraid;  be  not  afraid  of  him, 
saith  the  Lord:  for  I  am  with  you  to  save  you,  and  to 

12  deliver  you  from  his  hand.  And  I  will  grant  you 
mercy,  that  he  may  have  mercy  upon  you,  and  cause 

13  you  to  return  to  your  own  land.  But  if  ye  say,  We 
will  not  dwell  in  this  land;  so  that  ye  obey  not  the 

14  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God;  saying, No;  but  we  will 
go  into  the  land  of  E'gypt,  where  we  shall  see  no  war, 
nor  hear  the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  nor  have  hunger 

15 of  bread;  and  there  will  we  dwell:  now  therefore 
hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O  remnant  of  Ju'dah : 
thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  If  ye 
wholly  set  your  faces  to  enter  into  E'gypt,  and  go  to 

16 sojourn  there;  then  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the 
sword,  which  ye  fear,  shall  overtake  you  there  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  and  the  femine,  whereof  ye  are  afraid, 
•shall  follow  hard  after  you  there  in   E'gypt ;  and 

17  there  ye  shall  die.  So  shall  it  be  with  all  the  men 
that  set  their  facet*  to  go  into  E'gypt  to  sojourn 
there;  they  shall  die  by  the  sword,  by  the  famine, 
and  by  the  pestilence :  and  none  of  them  shall 
remain  or  escape  from   the  evil  that  I  will  bring 

18  upon  them.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
Giod  of  Is'ra-el;  As  mine  anger  and  my  fury  hath 
been  poured  forth  upon  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
so  shall  my  fury  be  poured  forth  upon  you,  when 
ye  shall  enter  into  E'gypt:  and  ye  shall  be  an  exe- 

•  cration,  and  an  astonishment,  and  a  curse,  and  a 
reproach;    and  ye  shall  -see   this   place   no    more.

19  IfThe  LoED  hath  said  concerning  you,  O  ye  remnant 
of  Ju'dah ;  ''Go  ye  not  into  E'gypt :  know  certainly  that  I 
have  fadmonished  you  this  day. 

20  For  II  ye  dissembled  in  your  hearts,  when  ye  sent  me 
unto  the  Lokd  your  God,  saying,  "Pray  for  us  unto  the 
Lord  our  God;  and  according  unto  all  that  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  say,  so  declare  unto  us,  and  we  will  do  it. 

21  And  now  I  have  this  day  declared  it  to  you;  but  ye 
have  not  obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God,  nor  any 
thing  for  the  which  he  hath  sent  me  unto  you. 

22  Now  therefore  know  certainly  that  'ye  shall  die  by  the 
sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence,  in  the  place 
whither  ye  desire  ||  to  go  and  to  sojourn. 

CHAPTER    XLIII. 

Jeremiah  prophesieth  the  conquest  of  Egypt  by  the  Babylonians. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  thai  when  Jer-e-mi'ah  had  made  an 
end  of  speaking  unto  all  the  people  all  the  words  of 
the  Lord  their  God,  for  which  the  Lord  their  God  had 
sent  him  to  them,  even,  all  these  words, 

2  "Then  spake  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Hosh-a-i'ah,  and  Jo-ha'- 
nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  proud  men,  saying  unto 
Jer-e-mi'ah,  Thou  speakest  falsely :  the  Lord  our  God  hath 
not  sent  thee  to  say.  Go  not  into  E'gypt  to  sojourn  there : 

3  But  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah  setteth  thee  on  against  us, 
fortodeliverusintothehandoftheChal-de'ans,that  they  might 
put  us  to  death,  and  carry  us  away  captives  into  Bab'y-lon. 

4  So  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  captains  of 
the  forces,  and  all  the  people,  obeyed  not  the  voice  of  the 
Lord,  to  dwell  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

5  But  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  captains  of 
the  forces,  took  ^all  the  remnant  of  Ju'dah,  that  were  returned 
from  all  nations,  whither  they  had  been  driven,  to  dwell  in 
the  land  of  Ju'dah  ; 

6  .Been  men,  and  women,andchildren,  "and  the  king'sdaugh- 
ters,  ''and  every  person  that Neb-u-zar-a' dan  the  captain  of  the 
guard  had  left  with  Ged-a-li'ah  the  son  of  A-hi'kam  the  son  of  Sha'- 
phan.and  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,and  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah. 

7  So  they  came  into  the  land  of  E'gypt :  for  they  obeyed  not 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  :  thus  came  they  efoe,n  to  'Tah'pan-hes. 

8  ^Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  in 
Tah'pan-hes,  saying, 

9  'Take  great  stones  in  thine  hand,  and  hide  them  in  the 
clay  in  the  brickkiln,  which  is  at  the  entry  of  Pha'raoh's 
house  in  Tah'pan-hes,  in  the  sight  of  the  men  of  Ju'dah ; 

10  And  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el ;  Behold,  I  will  send  and  take  Neb-u-chad- 
rez'zar  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  ^my  servant,  and  will  set  his 
throne  upon  these  stones  that  I  have  hid;  and  he  shall 
spread  his  royal  pavilion  over  them. 

11  "And  when  he  cometh,  he  shall  smite  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
and  deliver  *such  as  are  for  death  to  death  ;  and  such  as  are  for 
captivity  to  captivity;  and  such  as  are  for  the  sword  to  the  sword. 

12  Andl  will  kindle  a  fire  in  the  houses  of'the  gods  of  E'gypt; 
and  he  shall  burn  them,  and  carry  them  away  captives :  and  he 
shall  array  himself  with  the  land  of  E'gypt,  as  a  shepherd  put- 
teth  on  his  garment ;  and  he  shall  go  forth  from  thence  in  peace. 

13  He  shall  break  also  the  fimages  of  ||  Beth-she'mesh, 
that  is  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  and  the  houses  of  the  gods  of 
the  E-gyp'tians  shall  he  burn  with  fire. 

CHAPTER   XLIV. 

Jeremiah  prophesieth  their  destruction  who  commit  idolatry. 

rpHE  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  concerning  all  the 
-L  Jews  which  dwell  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  which  dwell 
at  "Mig'dol,  and  at  'Tah'pan-hes,  and  at  "Noph,  and  in  the 
country  of  Path'ros,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  Ye 
have  seen  all  the  evil  that  I  have  brought  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  upon  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah;  and,  behold,  this  day  they 
lore  ""a  desolation,  and  no  mandwelleth  therein; 


19  The  Lord  hath  spoken  concerning  you,  O  remnant 
of  Ju'dah,  Go  ye  not  into  E'gypt :  know  certainly  that 

20 1  have  testified  unto  you  this  day.  For  ye  have  dealt 
deceitfully  'against  your  own  souls;  for  ye  sent  me 
unto  the  Lord  your  God,  saying,  Pray  for  ns  unto  the 
Lord  our  God;  and  according  unto  all  that  the  Lord 
our  God  shall  say,  so  declare  unto  us,  and  we  will  do 

21  it:  and  I  have  this  day  declared  it  to  you;  but  ye 
have  not  obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God  in 
any  thing  for  the  which  he  hath  sent  me  unto  you. 

22  Now  therefore  know  certainly  that  ye  shall  die  by 
the  sword,  by  the  fiimine,  and  by  the  pestilence,  in 
the   place  whither  ye  desire  to  go  to  sojourn  there. 

AA     And  it  came  to  pass  that  when  Jer-e-mi'ah  had  made 

an  end  of  speaking  unto  all  the  people  all  the  words 

of  the  Lord  their  God,  wherewith  the  Lord  their 

God  had  sent  him  to  them,  even  all  these   words, 

2  then  spake  Az-a-ri'ah  the  son  of  Hosh-a-i'ah,  and  Jo- 
ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  proud  men, 
saying  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah,  Thou  speakest  falsely:  the 
Lord  our  God  hath  not  sent  thee  to  say.  Ye  shall  not 

3  go  into  E'gypt  to  sojourn  there :  but  Ba'ruch  the  son  of 
Ne-ri'ah  setteth  thee  on  against  us,  for  to  deliver  us 
into  the  hand  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  that  they  may  put 
us  to  death,  and  carry  us  away  captives  to  Bab'y-lon. 

4  So  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  captains 
of  the  forces,  and  all  the  people,  obeyed  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lord,  to  dwell  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah. 

5  But  Jo-ha'nan  the  son  of  Ka-re'ah,  and  all  the  captains 
of  the  forces,  took  all  the  remnant  of  Ju'dah,  that 
were  returned  from  all  the  nations  whither  they 
had  been  driven  to  sojourn  in  the  land  of  Ju'dah ; 

6  the  men,  and  the  women,  sftid  the  children,  and  the 
king's  daughters,  and  every  person  that  Neb-u-zar-a'- 
dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  had  left  with  Ged-a-li'ah 
the  son  of  A-hi'kam,  the  son  of  Sha'phan,  and  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  the  prophet,  and  Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah ; 

7 and  they  came  into  the  land  of  E'gypt;  for  they 
obeyed  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord  :  and  they  came 
Seven  to  Tah'pan-hes.  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
9  Lord  unto  Jer-e-mi'ah  in  Tah'pan-hes,  saying,  Take 
great  stones  in  thine  hand,  and  ^hide  them  in  mortar 
in  the  brickwork,  which  is  at  the  entry  of  Pha'raoh's 
house  in  Tah'pan-hes,  in  the  sight  of  the  men  of 

10  Ju'dah;  and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Behold,  I  will  send  and  take 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  the  kingof  Bab'y-lon, my  servant,and 
will  set  his  throne  upon  these  stones  that  I  have  hid ; 
and  he  shall  spread  his  *royal   pavilion  over  them. 

11  And  he  shall  come,  and  shall  smite  the  lacd  of  E'gypt; 
such  as  are  for  death  shall  be  given  to  death,  and  such 
as  are  for  captivity  to  captivity,  and  such  as  are  for  the 

12  sword  to  the  sword.  And  I  will  kindle  a  fire  in  the 
houses  of  the  gods  of  E'gypt;  and  he  shall  burn  them, 
and  carry  them  away  captives:  and  he  shall  array 
himself  with  the  land  of  E'gypt,  as  a  shepherd  putteth 
on  his  garment;  and  he  shall  go  forth   from  thence 

13  in  peace.  He  shall  also  break  the  *pillars  of  'Beth- 
she'mesh,  that  is  in  the  land  of  E'gypt;  and  the 
houses  of  the  gods  of  E'gypt  shall  he  burn  with  fire. 

A.  A  The  word  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  concerning  all 
the  Jews  which  dwelt  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  which 
dwelt  at  Mig'dol,and  at  Tah'pan-hes,  and  at  N  oph,  and 
2  in  the  country  of  Path'ros,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Ye  have  seen 
all  the  evil  that  I  have  brought  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  upon  all  the  cities  of  Ju'dah ;  and,  behold,  this  day 
they  are  a  desolation,  and  no  man  dwelleth  therein ;

3  Because  of  their  wickedness,  which  they  have  committed 
to  provoke  me  to  anger,  in  that  they  went  'to  burn  incense, 
and  to  ■'serve  other  gods,  whom  they  knew  not,  neither  they, 
ye,  nor  your  fathers. 

4  Howbeit,  "I  sent  unto  you  all  my  servants  the  prophets, 
ri.sing  early  and  sending  thevi,  saying.  Oh,  do  not  this 
abominable  thing  that  I  hate. 

5  But  they  hearkened  not,  nor  inclined  their  ear  to  turn 
from  their  wickedness,  to  burn  no  incense  unto  other  gods. 

6  Wherefore  'my  fury  and  mine  auger  was  poured  forth, 
and  was  kindled  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  and  in  the  streets  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  they  are  wasted  and  desolate,  as  at  this  day. 

7  Therefore  now  thus  saith  the  Loed,  the  God  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el;  Wherefore  commit  ye  this  great  evil 
•against  your  souls,  to  cut  off  from  you  man  and  woman, 
child  and  suckling,  font  of  Ju'dah,  to  leave  you  none  to 
remain ; 

8  In  that  ye  *provoke  me  unto  wrath  with  the  works  of 
your  hands,  burning  incense  unto  other  gods  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  whither  ye  be  gone  to  dwell,  that  ye  might  cut 
yourselves  off,  and  that  ye  might  be  'a  curse  and  a  reproach 
among  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  ? 

9  Have  ye  forgotten  the  f  wickedness  of  your  fathers,  and 
the  wickedness  of  the  kings  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  wickedness  of 
their  wives,  and  your  own  wickedness,  and  the  wickedness 
of  your  wives,  which  they  have  committed  in  the  land  of 
Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  ? 

10  They  are  not  fhumbled  even  unto  this  day,  neither 
have  they  "feared,  ncr  walked  in  my  law,  nor  in  my  stat- 
utes, that  I  set  before  you  and  before  your  fathers. 

11  If  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el ;  Behold,  "I  will  set  my  face  against  you  for  evil, 
and  to  cut  off  all  Ju'dah. 

12  And  I  will  take  the  remnant  of  Ju'dah,  that  have  set 
their  faces  to  go  into  the  land  of  E'gypt  to  sojourn  there,  and 
"they  shall  all  be  consumed,  and  fall  in  the  land  of  E'gypt  • 
they  shall  even  be  consumed  by  the  sword  a7id  by  the 
famine:  they  shall  die,  from  the  least  even  unto  the  greatest, 
by  the  sword  and  by  the  famine :  and  "they  shall  be  an  exe- 
cration, and  an  astonishment,  and  a  curse,  and  a  reproach. 

13  «For  I  will  punish  them  that  dwell  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  as  I  have  punished  Je-ru'sa-lem,  by  the  sword,  by 
the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence : 

14  So  that  none  of  the  remnant  of  Ju'dah,  wbich  are  gone 
into  the  land  of  E'gypt  to  sojourn  there,  shall  escape  or 
remain,  that  they  should  return  into  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  to 
the  which  they  fhave  a  desire  to  return  to  dwell  there : 
for  'none  shall  return  but  such  as  shall  escape. 

15  ^Then  all  the  men  which  knew  that  their  wives  had 
burned  incense  unto  other  gods,  and  all  the  women  that 
stood  by,  a  great  multitude,  even  all  the  people  that  dwelt 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  Path'ro8,answeredJer-e-mi'ah,saying, 

16  As  for  the  word  that  thou  hast  spoken  unto  us  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  'we  will  not  hearken  unto  thee: 

1 7  But  we  will  certainly  do  'whatsoever  thing  goeth  forth 
out  of  our  own  mouth,  to  burn  incense  unto  the  [["queen 
of  heaven,  and,  to  pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  her,  as  we 
have  done,  we,  and  our  fathers,  our  kings,  and  our  princes, 
in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem : 
for  then  had  we  plenty  of  fvictuals,  and  were  well,  and 
saw  no  evil. 

18  But  since  we  left  off  to  burn  incense  to  the  queen  of 
heaven,  and  to  pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  her,  we  have 
wanted  all  things,  and  have  been  consumed  by  the  sword 
and  by  the  femine. 

19  "And  when  we  burned  incense  to  the  queen  of  heaven, 
and  poured  out  drink  offerings  unto  her,  did  we  make  her 
cakes  to  worship  her,  and  pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  her, 
without  our  |lmen? 


3  because  of  their  wickedness  which  they  have  com- 
mitted to  provoke  me  to  anger,  in  that  they  went  to 
burn  incense,  and  to  serve  other  gods,  whom  they 
knew   not,  neither  they,  nor  ye,  nor  your  fathers. 

4  Howbeit  I  sent  unto  you  all  my  servants,  the  prophets, 
rising  up  early  and  sending  them,  saying.   Oh,  do 

5  not  this  abominable  thing  that  I  hate.  But  they 
hearkened  not,  nor  inclined  their  ear  to  turn  from  their 
wickedness,  to  burn  no  incense  unto  other  gods. 

6  Wherefore  my  fury  and  mine  anger  was  poured  forth, 
and  was  kindled  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah  and  in  the 
streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  they  are  wasted  and  des- 

7  olate,  as  it  is  this  day.     Therefore  now  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el :  Where- 
fore commit  ye  this  great  evil  against  your  own  souls, 
to  cut  off  from  you  man  and  woman,  infant  and  suck 
ling,  out  of  the  midst  of  Ju'dah,  to  leave  you  none 

8 remaining;  in  that  ye  provoke  me  unto  anger  with 
the  works  of  your  hands,  burning  incense  unto  other 
gods  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  whither  ye  be  gone  to 
sojourn ;  that  ye  may  be  cut  off,  and  that  ye  may  be  a 
curse  and  a  reproach  among  all  the  nations  of  the  earth? 

9  Have  ye  forgotten  the  wickedness  of  your  fethers,  and 
the  wickedness  of  the  kingsof  Ju'dah,  and  the  wicked 
ness  of  their  wives,  and  your  own  wickedness,  and  the 
wickedness  of  your  wives,  which  they  committed  in  the 
land  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem? 

10  They  are  not  humbled  even  unto  this  day,  neither  have 
they  feared,  nor  walked  in  my  law,  nor  in  my  statutes, 

11  that  I  set  before  you  and  before  your  fathers.    There- 
fore thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el 
Behold,  I  will  set  my  face  against  you  for  evil,  even  to 

12  cut  off  all  Ju'dah.  And  I  will  take  the  remnant  of 
Ju'dah,  that  have  set  their  faces  to  go  into  the  land  of 
E'gypt  to  sojourn  there,  and  they  shall  all  be  consumed; 
in  the  land  of  E'gypt  shall  they  fall ;  they  shall  be  con- 
sumed by  the  sword  and  by  the  famine;  they  shall  die, 
from  the  least  even  unto  the  greatest,  by  the  sword,  and 
by  the  famine :  and  they  shall  be  an  execration,  and 

13  an  astonishment,  and  a  curse,  and  a  reproach.  For 
I  will  punish  them  that  dwell  in  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
as  I  have  punished  Je-ru'sa-lem,  by  the  sword,  by  tne 

14  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence :  so  that  none  of  the 
remnant  of  Ju'dah,  which  are  gone  into  the  land  of 
E'gypt  to  sojourn  there,  shall  escape  or  remain,  that 
they  should  return  into  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  to  the 
which  they  'have  a  desire  to  return  to  dwell  there: 
for  none  shall  return  save  such  as  shall  escape. 

15  Then  all  the  men  which  knew  that  their  wives 
burned  incense  unto  other  gods,  and  all  the  women 
that  stood  by,  a  great  assembly,  even  all  the  people 
that  dwelt  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  in  Path'ros,  answered 

16  Jer-e-mi'ah,  saying.  As  for  the  word  that  thou  hast 
spoken  unto  us  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  we  will 

17  not  hearken  unto  thee.  But  we  will  certainly  per- 
form every  word  that  is  gone  forth  out  of  our  mouth, 
to  burn  incense  unto  the  queen  of  heaven,  and  to 
pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  her,  as  we  have  done, 
we  and  our  fathers,  our  kings  and  our  princes,  in 
the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem : 
for  then  had  we  plenty  of  ^victuals,  and  were  well, 

18  and  saw  no  evil.  But  since  we  left  off  to  burn  in- 
cense to  the  queen  of  heaven,  and  to  pour  out  drink 
offerings  unto  her,  we  have  wanted  all  things,  and 
have  been  consumed  by  the  sword  and  by  the  famine. 

19  And  when  we  burned  incense  to  the  queen  of  heaven, 
and  poured  out  drink  offerings  unto  her,  did  we 
make  her  cakes  to  ^worship  her,  and  pour  out 
drink   offerings  unto  her,  without  our  husbands?

20  *^[Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  all  the  people,  to  the 
men,  and  to  the  women,  and  to  all  the  people  which  had 
given  him  that  answer,  saying, 

21  The  incense  that  ye  burned  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and 
in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ye  and  your  fathers,  your  kings 
and  your  princes,  and  the  .people  of  the  land,  did  not  the 
Lord  remember  them,  and  came  it  not  into  his  mind? 

22  So  that  the  Lord  could  no  longer  bear,  because  of  the 
evil  of  your  doings,  and  becau.se  of  the  abominations  which 
ye  have  committed;  therefore  is  your  land  "a  desolation,  and 
an  astonishment,  and  a  curse,  without  an  inhabitant,  'as 
at  this  day.    ' 

23  Because  ye  have  burned  incense,  and  because  ye  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord",  and  have  not  obeyed  the  voice  of 
the  Lord,  nor  walked  in  his  law,  nor  in  his  statutes,  nor  in 
his  testimonies;  "therefore  this  evil  is  happened  unto  you, 
as  at  this  day. 

24  Moreover  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  all  the  people,  and  to 
all  the  women,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  all  Ju'dah  'that 
are  in  the  land  of  E'gypt : 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  saying ; 
"Ye  and  your  wives  have  both  spoken  with  your  mouths, 
and  fulfilled  with  your  hand,  saying.  We  will  surely  perform 
our  vows  that  we  have  vowed  to  burn  incense  to  the  queen 
of  heaven,  and  to  pour  out  drink  offerings  unto  her:  ye 
will  surely  accomplish  your  vows,  and  surely  perform 
your  vows. 

26  Therefore  hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord,  all  Ju'dah 
that  dwell  in  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  Behold,  ''I  have  sworn  by 
my  great  name,  saith  the  Lord,  that  'my  name  shall  no 
more  be  named  in  the  mouth  of  any  man  of  Ju'dah  in  all 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  saying,  The  Lord  God  liveth. 

27  ■'^Behold,  I  will  watch  over  them  for  evil,  and  not  for 
good :  and  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah  that  are  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt  "shall  be  consumed  by  the  sword  and  by  the  famine, 
until  there  be  an  end  of  them. 

28  Yet ''a  small  number  that  escape  the  sword  shall  return  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt  into  the  land  of  Ju'dah ;  and  all  the  rem- 
nant of  Ju'dah,  that  are  gone  into  the  land  of  E'gypt  to  sojourn 
there,  shall  know  whose  'words  shall  stand,  fmine,  or  theirs. 

29  T[And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  you,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  I  will  punish  you  in  this  place,  that  ye  may  know  that 
my  words  shall  'surely  stand  against  you  for  evil : 

30  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Behold,  'I  will  give  Pha'raoh- 
hoph'ra  king  of  E'gypt  into  the  hand  of  his  enemies,  and 
into  the  hand  of  them  that  seek  his  life ;  as  I  gave  ""Zed-e- 
ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah  into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  his  enemy,  and  that  sought  hiu  life. 

CHAPTER   XLV. 

Baruch  being  dismayed,  Jeremiah  comforieth  him. 

THE  "word  that  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  spake  unto  Ba'- 
ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah,  when  he  had  written  these 
words  in  a  book  at  the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,  in  the  fourth 
year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of  Jo-si'ah  king  of  .Ju'dah,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  unto  thee,  O 
Ba'ruch ; 

3  Thou  didst  say,  "Woe  is  me  now !  for  the  Lord  hath  added 
grief  to  my  sorrow  ;  I  fainted  in  my  sighing,  and  I  find  no  rest. 

4  "[[Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  him.  The  Lord  saith  thus; 
Behold,  Hhat  which  I  have  built  will  I  break  down,  and  that 
which  I  have  planted  I  will  pluck  up,  even  this  whole  land. 

5  And  seekest  thou  great  things  for  thyself?  seek  them 
not:  for,  behold,  "I  will  bring  evil  upon  all  flesh,  saith  the 
Lord  :  but  thy  life  will  I  give  unto  thee  ''for  a  prey  in  all 
places  whither  thou  goest. 

CHAPTER  XLVI. 

Jeremiah  prophesieth  the  overthrow  of  Pharaoh's  army  at  Euphrates. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  which  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet  against  "the  Gentiles  ; 


20  Then  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  all  the  people,  to  the  men, 
and  to  the  women,  even  to  all  the  people  which  had 

21  given  him  that  answer,  saying.  The  incense  that  ye 
burned  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  streets  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  ye  and  your  fathers,  your  kings  and  your 
princes,  and  the  people  of  the  land,  did  not  the  Lord 

22  remember  them,  and  came  it  not  into  his  mind  ?  so 
that  the  Lord  could  no  longer  bear,  because  of  the 
evil  of  your  doings,  and  because  of  the  abomina- 
tions which  ye  have  committed;  therefore  is  your 
land  become  a  desolation,  and  an  astonishment,  and 

23  a  curse,  without  inhabitant,  as  it  is  this  day.  Because 
ye  have  burned  incense,  and  because  ye  have  sinned' 
against  the  Lord,  and  have  not  obeyed  the  voicb  of 
the  Lord,  nor  walked  in  his  law,  nor  in  his  statutes, 
nor  in  his  testimonies ;  therefore  this  evil  is  happened 
unto  you,  as  it  is  this  day. 

24  Moreover  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  unto  all  the  people,  and 
to  all  the  women,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  all 

25  Ju'dah  that  are  in  the  land  of  E'gypt:  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  saying:  Ye  and 
your  wives  have  both  spoken  with  your  mouths,  and 
with  your  hands  have  fulfilled  it,  saying.  We  will 
surely  perform  our  vows  that  we  have  vowed,  to 
burn  incense  to  the  queen  of  heaven,  and  to  pour 
out  drink   offerings  unto  her:    establish  then  your 

26  vows,  and  perform  your  vows.  Therefore  hear  ye 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  all  Ju'dah  that  dwell  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt :  Behold,  I  have  sworn  by  my  great 
name,  saith  the  Lord,  that  my  name  shall  no  more 
be  named  in  the  mouth  of  any  man  of  Ju'dah  in  all 
the  land  of  E'gypt,  saying.  As  the  Lord  GoD  liveth. 

27  Behold,  I  watch  over  them  for  evil,  and  not  for  good : 
and  all  the  men  of  Ju'dah  that  are  in  the  land  of  E'gypt 
shall  be  consumed  by  the  sword  and  by  the  famine, 

28  until  there  be  an  end  of  them.  And  they  that  escape 
the  sword  shall  return  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  into 
the  land  of  Ju'dah,  few  in  number ;  and  all  the  rem- 
nant of  Ju'dah,  that  are  gone  into  the  land  of  E'gypt 
to  sojourn  there,  shall  know  whose  word  shall  stand, 

29  mine  or  theirs.  And  this  shall  be  the  sign  unto 
you,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  punish  you  in  this 
place,  that  ye  may  know  that  my  words  shall  surely 

30 stand  against  you  for  evil:  thus  saith  the  Lord: 
Behold,  I  will  give  Pha'raoh  Hoph'ra  king  of 
E'gypt  into  the  hand  of  his  enemies,  and  unto  the 
hand  of  them  that  seek  his  life ;  as  I  gave  Zed-e-ki'ah 
king  of  Ju'dah  into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  his  enemy,  and  that  sought  his  life. 

^v  The  word  that  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  spake  unto 
Ba'ruch  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah,when  he  wrote  these  words 
in  a  book  at  the  mouth  of  Jer-e-mi'ah,  in  the  fourth 
year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  ofJo-si'ah,king  of  Ju'dah, 
2  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el, 
3 'unto  thee,  O  Ba'ruch:  Thou  didst  say.  Woe  is  me 
now !  for  the  Lord  hath  added  sorrow  to  my  pain ; 
^I  am  weary  with  my  groaning,  and  I  find  no  rest. 

4  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  : 
Behold,  that  which  I  have  built  will  I  break  down,  and 
that  which  I  have  planted  I  will  pluck  up;  and  this  in 

5  the  whole  land.  And  seekest  thou  great  things  for 
thyself?  seek  them  not :  for,  behold,  I  will  bring  evil 
upon  all  flesh,  saith  the  Lord  ;  but  thy  life  will  I  give 
unto  thee  for  a  prey  in  all  places  whither  thou  goest.

2  Against  E'gypt,  "against  the  army  of  Pha'raoh-ne'cho 
king  of  E'gypt,  which  was  by  the  river  Eu-phra'tes  in  Car*- 
che-mish,  which  Neb-u-cfaad-rez'zar  king  of  Bal/y-lon  8mot«  in 
thefourthyear  of Je-hoi'a-kimtheson  of  Jo-si'ahking  of  Ju'dah. 

3  "Order  ye  the  buckler  and  shield,  and  draw  near  to  battle. 

4  Harness  the  horses;  and  get  up,  ye  horsemen,  and  stand 
forth  with  your  helmets ;  furbish  the  spears,  and  put  on  the 
brigandines. 

5  Wherefore  have  I  seen  them  dismayed  and  turned  away 
back?  and  their  mighty  ones  are  fbeaten  down,  and  are 
filed  apace,  and  look  not  back :  for  '*fear  was  round  about, 
saith  the  Loed. 

6  Let  not  the  swift  flee  away,  nor  the  mighty  man  escape :  they 
shall''stumble,and  fall  toward  the  north,by  the  river  Eu-phra'tes. 

7  Who  is  this  that  cometh  up  -^a  a  flood,  whose  waters 
are  moved  as  the  rivers? 

8  E'gypt  riseth  up  like  a  flood,  and  his  waters  are  moved 
like  the  rivers ;  and  he  saith,  I  will  go  up,  and  will  cover 
the  earth ;  I  will  destroy  the  city  and  the  inhabitants  thereof. 

9  Come  up,  ye  horses;  and  rage,  ye  chariots;  and  let  the 
mighty  men  come  forth :  f  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans  and  fthe  Lib'y- 
ans,  that  handle  the  shield ;  and  the  Lyd'i-ans,  'that  handle 
and  bend  the  bow. 

10  For  this  is  *the  day  of  the  Lord  GrOD  of  hosts,  a  day 
of  vengeance,  that  he  may  avenge  him  of  his  adversaries: 
and  'the  sword  shall  devour,  and  it  shall  be  satiate  and  made 
drunk  with  their  blood :  for  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  *hath  a 
sacrifice  in  the  north  country  by  the  river  Eu-phra'tes. 

11  'Go  up  into  Gil'e-ad,  and  take  balm,  "O  virgin,  the 
daughter  of  E'gypt:  in  vain  shalt  thou  use  many  medicines; 
for  t"thou  shalt  not  be  cured. 

12  The  nations  have  heard  of  thy  shame,  and  thy  cry 
hath  filled  the  land:  for  the  mighty  man  hath  stumbled 
against  the  mighty,  and  they  are  fallen  both  together. 

13  1[The  word  that  the  Lord  spake  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet,  how  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  should 
come  and  "smite  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

14  Declare  ye  in  E'gypt,  and  publish  in  Mig'dol,  and  pub- 
lish in  Noph  and  in  Tah'pan-hes:  say  ye,  "Stand  fast,  and 
prepare  thee ;  for  'the  sword  shall  devour  round  about  thee. 

15  Why  are  thy  valiant  men  swept  away?  they  stood  not, 
because  the  Lord  did  drive  them. 

16  He  fmademany  to  fall,  yea,  "^one  fell  upon  another:  and 
they  said.  Arise,  and  let  us  go  again  to  our  own  people,  and 
to  the  land  of  our  nativity,  from  the  oppressing  sword. 

17  They  did  cry  there,  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  is  but  a 
noise ;  he  hath  passed  the  time  appointed. 

18  -48  I  live,  saith  the  King,  'whose  name  is  The  Lord  of 
hosts.  Surely  as  Ta'bor  is  among  the  mountains,  and  as 
Car'mel  by  the  sea,  so  shall  he  come. 

19  O  thou  daughter  dwelling  in  E'gypt,  ffurnish  thyself 
"to  go  into  captivity :  for  Noph  shall  be  waste  and  desolate 
without  an  inhabitant. 

20  E'gypt  is  like  a  very  fair  ^heifer, 6w< destruction  cometh; 
it  cometh  "out  of  the  north. 

21  Also  her  hired  men  are  in  the  midst  of  her  like  ffatted 
bullocks;  for  they  also  are  turned  back,  and  are  fled  away 
together:  they  did  not  stand,  because  'the  day  of  their  ca- 
lamity was  come  upon  them,  and  the  time  of  their  visitation. 

22  "The  voice  thereof  shall  go  like  a  serpent ;  for  they 
shall  march  with  an  army,  and  come  against  her  with  axes, 
as  hewers  of  wood. 

23  They  shall  ''cut  down  her  forest,  saith  the  Lord,  though 
it  cannot  be  searched;  because  they  are  more  than  "the 
grasshoppers,  and  are  innumerable. 

24  The  daughter  of  E'gypt  shall  be  confounded ;  she  shall 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  ''people  of  the  north. 

25  The  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  saith ;  Behold, 
I  will  punish  the  Hfmultitude  of 'No,  and  Pha'raoh,  and 


2  Of  E'gypt :  concerning  the  army  of  Pha'raoh-ne'co 
king  of  E'gypt,  which  was  by  the  river  Eu-phra'tes  in 
Carche-misn,  which  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon  smote  in  the  fourth  year  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  the  son  of 
Jo-si'ah,  king  of  Ju'dah. 

3  Order  ye  the  buckler  and   shield,  and  draw  near 

4  to  battle.  Harness  the  horses,  and  get  up,  ye  horse- 
men, and  stand  forth  with  your  helmets ;  furbish  the 

5  spears,  put  on  the  coats  of  mail.  Wherefore  have  I 
seen  it  ?  they  are  dismayed  and  are  turned  backward  ; 
and  their  mighty  ones  are  beaten  down,  and  are  fled 
apace,  and   look  not  back :  terror  is  on  every  side, 

6  saith  the  Lord.  Let  not  the  swift  flee  away,  nor  the 
mighty    man    escape;   in   the    north    by   the    river 

7  Eu-phra'tes  have  they  stumbled  and  fallen.  'Who 
is  this  that  riseth  up  like  the  Nile,  whose  waters  to.ss 

8  themselves  like  the  rivers  ?  E'gypt  riseth  up  like  the 
Nile,  and  his  waters  toss  themselves  like  the  rivers: 
and  he  saith,  I  will  rise  up,  I  will  cover  the  earth ;  I  will 

9  destroy  the  city  and  the  inhabitants  thereof.  Go  up, 
ye  horses;  and  rage,  ye  chariots;  and  let  the  mighty 
men  go  forth :  Gush  and  Put,  that  handle  the  shield ; 

10  and  the  Lu'dim,  that  handle  and  bend  the  bow.  For 
that  day  is  a  day  of  the  Lord,  the  Lord  of  hosts,  a  day 
of  vengeance,  that  he  may  avenge  him  of  his  adver- 
saries :  and  the  sword  shall  devour  and  be  satiate,  and 
shall  drink  its  fill  of  their  blood :  for  the  Lord,  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  hath  a  sacrifice  in  the  north  country  by 

11  the  river  Eu-phra'tes.  Go  up  into  Gil'e-ad,  and  take 
balm,  O  virgin  daughter  of  E'gypt :  in  vain  dost  thou 

1 2  use  many  medicines  ;  there  is  no  healing  for  thee.  The 
nations  have  heard  of  thy  shame,  and  the  earth  is  full 
of  thy  cry ;  for  the  mighty  man  hath  stumbled  against 
the  mighty,  they  are  feUen  both  of  them  together. 

13  The  word  that  the  Lord  spake  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the 
prophet,  how  that  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  kingof  Bab'y-lon 
should  come  and  smite  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

14  Declare  ye  in  E'gypt,  and  publish  in  Mig'dol,  and 
publish  in  Noph  and  in  Tah'pan-hes:  say  ye.  Stand 
forth,  and  prepare  thee;  for  the  sword  hath  devoured 

15  round  about  thee.  ^Why  are  thy  strong  ones  swept 
away?  they  stood  not,  because  the  Lord  did  ^drive 

16  them.  He  made  many  to  stumble,  yea,  they  fell 
one  upon  another:  and  they  said.  Arise,  and  let  us 
go  again  to  our  own  people,  and  to  the  land  of  our 

17  nativity,  from  the  oppressing  sword.  They  cried 
there,  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt  is  but  a   noise ;  he 

18  hath  let  the  appointed  time  pass  by.  As  I  live,  saith 
the  King,  whose  name  is  the  Lord  of  hosts,  surely 
like  Ta'bor  among  the  mountains,  and  like  Car'mel 

19  by  the  sea,  so  shall  he  come.  *0  thou  daughter 
that  dwellest  in  E'gypt,  'furnish  thyself  to  go  into 
captivity :  for  Noph  shall  become  a  desolation,  and 

20  shall  be  burnt  np,  without  inhabitant.  E'gypt  is  a  very 
fair  heifer ;  but  destruction  out  of  the  north  is  come, 

21  'it  is  come.  Also  her  hired  men  in  the  midst  of  her 
are*  like  calves  of  the  stall ;  for  they  also  are  turned 
back,  they  are  fled  away  together,  they  did  not  stand : 
for  the  day  of  their  calamity  is  come  upon  them,  the 

22  time  of  their  visitation.  *The  sound  thereof  shall  go 
like  the  serpent ;  for  they  shall  march  with  an  army, 
and  come  against  her  with  axes,  as  hewers  of  wood. 

23They  shall  cut  down  her  forest,  saith  the  Lord, 
'though    it   cannot  be  searched;    because    they   are 

24  more  than  the  locusts,  and  are  innumerable.  The 
daughter  of  E'gypt  shall  be  put  to  shame ;  she  shall 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  people  of  the  north. 

25The  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  saith :  Be^

CHAPTER    XL VII. 

T/ie  destruction  of  the  Phihstines. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet 
"against  the  Phi-lis'tines,''before  that  Pha'raoh  smote  fGa'za. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Behold,  "waters  rise  up  ''out  of  the 
north,  and  shall  be  an  overflowing  flood,  and  shall  overflow 
the  land,  and  fall  that  is  therein;  the  city,  and  them  that 
dwell  therein  :  then  the  men  shall  cry,  and  allthe  inhabitants 
of  the  land  shall  howl. 

3  At  the  'noise  of  the  stamping  of  the  hoofs  of  his  strong 
horses^  at  the  rushing  of  his  chariots,  and  at  the  rumbling 
of  his  wheels,  the  fathers  shall  not  look  back  to  their  chil- 
dren for  feebleness  of  hands ; 

4  Because  of  the  day  that  cometh  to  spoil  all  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines,  and  to  cut  off  from  -^Ty'rus  and  Zi'don  every  helper 
that  remaineth :  for  the  Lord  will  sp6il  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
"the  remnant  of  fthe  country  of  ''Caph'tor. 

6  'Baldness  is  come  upon  Ga'za;  *Ash'ke-lon  is  cut  off  with 
the  remnant  of  their  valley :  how  long  wilt  thou  'cut  thy.self  ? 

6  O  thou  "sword  of  the  Lord,  how  long  will  it  be  ere  thou 
be  quiet?  fput  up  thyself  into  thy  scabbard,  rest,  and  be  still. 

7  fHow  can  it  be  quiet,  seeing  the  Lord  hath  "given  it  a 
charge  againsst  Ash'ke-lon,  and  against  the  sea  shore?  there 
hath  he  "appointed  it. 

CHAPTER    XLVIII. 

The  judgment  of  Moab  for  their  contempt  of  God. 

AGAINST  "Mo'ab  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el;  Woe  unto ''Ne'bo!  foritisspoiled:  "Kir-i-a-tha'im  is 
confounded  and  taken:  ||Mi.s'gab  is  confounded  and  dismayed. 

2  ^  There  shall  be  no  more  praise  of  Mo'ab  :  in  "Hesh'bon 
they  have  devised  evil  against  it ;  come,  and  let  us  cut  it  oif 
from  being  a  nation.  Also  thou  shalt  ||  be  cut  down,  O 
Mad'men ;  the  sword  shall  fpursue  thee. 

3  -'^A  voice  of  crying  shall  be  from  Hor-o-na'im,  spoiling 
and  great  destruction. 

4  Mo'ab  is  destroyed;  her  little  ones  have  caused  a  cry  to 
be  heard. 

5  "For  in  the  going  up  of  Lu'hith  fcontinual  weeping  shall 
go  up;  for  in  the  going  down  of  Hor-o-na'im  the  enemies 
have  heard  a  cry  of  destruction. 

6  ''Flee,  save  your  lives,  and  be  like  ||  the  *heath  in  the 
wilderness. 

7  ^For  because  thou  hast  trusted  in  thy  works  and  in  thy 
treasures,  thou  shalt  also  be  taken :  and  *Che'mosh  shall  go 
forth  into  captivity  with  his  'priests  and  his  princes  together. 

8  And  "'the  spoiler  shall  come  upon  every  city,  and  no 
city  shall  escape :  the  valley  also  shall  perish,  and  the  plain 
shall  be  destroyed,  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken. 

9  "Give  wings  unto  Mo'ab,  that  it  may  flee  and  get  away : 
for  the  cities  thereof  shall  be  desolate,  without  any  to 
dwell  therein. 

10  "Cursed  fie  he  thatdoeththeworkoftheLoRD  ||deceitfully, 
and  cursed  be  he  that  keepeth  back  his  sword  from  blood. 

11  ^Mo'ab  hath   been  at  ease   from  his  youth,  and  he 


E'gypt,  with  her  gods,  and  her  kings :  even  Pha'raoh, 

26  and  them  that  trust  in  him :  and  I  will  deliver  them 
into  the  hand  of  those  that  seek  their  lives,  and 
into  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon,  and  into  the  hand  of  his  servants:  and  after- 
wards it  shall  be  inhabited,  as  in  the  days  of  old, 

27  saith  the  Lord.  'But  fear  not  thou,  O  Ja'cob  my  serv- 
ant, neither  be  dismayed,  O  Is'ra-el:  for,  lo,  I  will  save 
thee  from  afar,  and  thy  seed  from  the  land  of  their 
captivity  ;  and  Ja'cob  shall  return,  and  shall  be  quiet 

28  and  at  ease,  and  none  shall  make  him  afraid.  Fear  not 
thou,  O  Ja'cob  my  servant,  saith  the  Lord  ;  for  I  am 
with  thee :  for  I  will  make  a  full  end  of  all  the  nations 
whither  I  have  driven  thee,  but  1  will  not  make  a 
full  end  of  thee;  but  I  will  correct  thee  with  judge- 
ment, and  will  in  no  wise  ^leave  thee  nnj)unished. 

"*♦  The  word  of  the  Lord  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah 
the  prophet  concerning  the  Phi-lis'tines,  before  ^hat 
Pha'raoh  smote  Ga'za. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  Behold,  waters  rise  up  out 
of  the  north,  and  shall  become  an  overflowing  stream, 
and  shall  overflow  the  land  and  all  that  is  therein, 
the  city  and  them  that  dwell  therein :  and  the  men 
shall  cry,  and  all  the  inhabitantc  of  the  land  shall 

3  howl.  At  the  noise  of  the  stamping  of  the  hoofs  of 
his  strong  ones,  at  the  rushing  of  his  chariots,  at  the 
rumbling  of  his  wheels,  the  fathers  look  not  back  to 

4 their  children  for  feebleness  of  hands;  because  of 
the  day  that  cometh  to  spoil  all  the  Phi-lis'tines,  to  cut 
off  from  Tyre  and  Zi'don  every  helper  that  remain- 
eth :  for  the  Lord  will  spoil  the  Phi-lis'tines,  the  rem- 

5  nant  of  the  ^isle  of  Caph'tor.  Baldness  is  come  upon 
Ga'za;  Ash'ke-lon  is  brought  to  nought,  the  remnant 

6  of  their  valley :  how  long  wilt  thou  cut  thyself?  O 
thou  sword  of  the  Lord,  how  long  will  it  be  ere  thou 
be  quiet?  put  up  thyself  into  thy  scabbard;  rest, and 

7  be  still.  How  canst  thou  be  quiet,  seeing  the  Lord 
hath  given  Hhee  a  charge?  against  Ash'kelon,  and 
against  the  sea  shore,  there  hath  he  appointed  it, 

^O  Of  Mo'ab.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the 
God  of  Is'ra-el :  Woe  unto  Ne'bo !  for  it  is  laid  waste ; 
Kir-i-a-tha'im  is  put  to  shame,  it  is  taken :  ^Mis'gab  is 

2  put  to  shame  and  ^broken  down.  The  praise  of 
Mo'ab  is  no  more :  in  Hesh'bon  they  have  devised 
evil  against  her.  Come,  and  let  us  cut  her  off  from 
being  a  nation.  Thou  also,  O  Mad'men,  shalt  be 
brought  to  silence;    the    sword    shall    pursue  thee. 

3  The  sound  of  a  cry  from  Hor-o-na'im,  spoiling  and 

4  great  destruction !  Mo'ab  is  destroyed ;  her  little  ones 

5  have  caused  a  cry  to  be  heard.  'For  by  the  ascent 
of  Lu'hith  with  continual  weeping  shall  they  go  up ; 
for  in  the  going  down  of  Hor-o-na'im  they  have  heard 

6  the  distress  of  the  cry  of  destruction.  Flee,  save 
your  lives,  and  be  like   Hhe   heath   in   the   wilder- 

7  ness.  For,  because  thou  hast  trusted  in  thy  works 
and  in  thy  treasures,  thou  also  shalt  be  taken : 
and    Che'mosh   shall    go    forth    into    captivity,  his 

8  priests  and  his  princes  together.  And  the  spoiler 
shall  come  upon  every  city,  and  no  city  shall  escape ; 
the  valley  also  shall  perish,  and  'the  plain  shall  be 

9 destroyed;  as  the  Lord  hath  spoken.  Give  wings 
unto  Mo'ab,  '"that  she  may  fly  and  get  her  away :

10  any  to  dwell  therein.  Cursed  be  he  that  doeth 
the  work  of  the  Lord  "negligently,  and  cursed

^hath  settlied  on  Ms  liees,  and  hath  not  been  emptied  from. 
vessel  to  vessel,  neitJaer  nath  he  gone  into  captivity :  therefore 
his  taste  fremained  in  him,  and  his  scent  is  not  changed. 

12  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  I  will  send  unto  him  wanderers  that  shall  cause  him  to 
wander,  and  shall  empty  his  vessels,  and  break  their  bottles. 

13  And  Mo'ab  shall  be  ashamed  of 'Che'mosh,as  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  'was  ashamed  of  'Beth'-el  their  confidence. 

14  ^Howsayye,'We  are  mighty  and  strong  men  for  the  war? 

15  "Mo'ab  is  spoiled,  and  gone  up  out  of  her  cities,  and 
this  chosen  young  men  are  ^gone  down  to  the  slaughter, 
saith  "the  King,  whose  name  is  The  Lord  of  hosts. 

16  The  calamity  of  Mo'ab  is  near  to  come,  and  his  afflic- 
tion hasteth  fast. 

17  All  ye  that  are  about  him  bemoan  him;  and  all  ye  that 
know  his  name,  say,  'How  is  the  strong  staff  broken,  and 
the  beautiful  rod ! 

18  "Thou  daughter  that  dost  inhabit  ""Di'bon,  come  down 
from  thy  glory,  and  sit  in  thirst ;  for  "lihe  spoiler  of  Mo'ab 
shall  come  upon  thee,  and  he  shall  destroy  thy  strong  holds. 

1 9  O  finhabitant  of '' Ar'o-er,''8tand  by  the  way,  and  espy;  ask 
him  that  fleeth,  and  her  that  escapeth,  and  say.  What  is  done? 

20  Mo'ab  is  confounded;  for  it  is  broken  down  •  -^howl  and 
ry ;  tell  ye  it  in  "Ar'non,  that  Mo'ab  is  spoiled, 

21  And  judgment  is  come  upon  ''the  plain  country ;  upon 
Ho'lon,  and  upon  Ja-ha'zah,  and  upon  Meph'a-ath, 

22  And  upon  Di'bon,  and  upon  Ne'bo,  and  upon  Beth- 
dib-la-tha'im, 

23  And  upon  Kir-i-a-tha'im,  and  upon  Beth-ga'mul,  and 
upon  Beth-me'on, 

24  And  upon  'Ke'ri-oth,  and  upon  Boz'rah,  and  upon  all 
the  cities  of  the  land  of  Mo'ab,  far  or  near. 

25  *The  horn  of  Mo'ab  is  cut  off,  and  his  'arm  is  broken, 
saith  the  Lord. 

26  ^""Make  ye  him  drunken;  for  he  magnified  himself 
against  the  Lord  :  Mo'ab  also  shall  wallow  in  his  vomit, 
and  he  also  shall  be  in  derision. 

27  For  "was  not  Is'ra-el  a  derision  unto  thee?  "was  he 
found  among  thieves?  for  since  thou  spakest  of  him,  thou 
II  skippedst  for  joy. 

28  O  ye  that  dwell  in  Mo'ab,  leave  the  cities,  and  "dwell 
in  the  rock,  and  be  like  'the  dove  that  maketh  her  nest  in 
the  sides  of  the  hole's  mouth. 

29  We  have  heard  the  •'pride  of  Mo'ab,  (he  is  exceeding 
proud,)  his  loftiness,  and  his  arrogancy,  and  his  pride,  and 
the  haughtiness  of  his  heart. 

30  I  know  his  wrath,  saith  the  Lord;  but  it  shall  not  be 
so;  'II his  lies  shall  not  so  effect  it. 

31  Therefore 'will  I  howl  for  Mo'ab,  and  I  will  cry  out  for 
all  Mo'ab ;  mine  heart  shall  mourn  for  the  men  of  Kir-he'res. 

32  "O  vine  of  Sib'mah,  I  will  weep  for  thee  with  the  weep- 
ing of  Ja'zer :  thy  plants  are  gone  over  the  sea,  they  reach 
even  to  the  sea  of  Ja'zer:  the  spoiler  is  fallen  upon  thy 
summer  fruits  and  upon  thy  vintage. 

33  And  'joy  and  gladness  is  taken  from  the  plentiful  field, 
and  from  the  land  of  Mo'ab ;  and  I  have  caused  wine  to  fail 
from  the  winepresses:  none  shall  tread  with  shouting; 
their  shouting  shall  be  no  shouting. 

34  "From  the  cry  of  Hesh'bon  even  unto  E-le-a'leh,  and 
even  unto  Ja'haz,  have  they  uttered  their  voice,  from  'Zo'ar 
even  unto  Hor-o-na'im,  as  a  heifer  of  three  years  old:  for 
the  waters  also  of  Nim'rim  shall  be  fdesolate. 

35  Moreover  I  will  cause  to  cease  in  Mo'ab,  saith  the 
Lord,  "him  that  offereth  in  the  high  places,  and  him  that 
burneth  incense  to  his  gods. 

36  Therefore  'mine  heart  shall  sound  for  Mo'ab  like  pipes, 
and  mine  heart  shall  sound  like  pipes  for  the  men  of  Kir- 
he'res:  because  "the  riches  that  he  hath  gotten  are  perished. 

37  For  ''every    head    shall    be  bald,   and    every    beard 


hath  settled  on  his  lees,  and  hath  not  been  emptied 
from  vessel  to  vessel,  neither  hath  he  gone  into  captiv- 
ity :  therefore  his  taste  remaineth  in  him,  and  his  scent 

12  is  not  changed.  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  send  unto  him  them  that 
'pour  off,  and  they  shall  'pour  him  off:  and  they 
shall  empty  his  vessels,  and  break  their  ^bottles  in 

13  pieces.  And  Mo'ab  shall  be  ashamed  of  Che'mosh, 
as  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  was  ashamed  of  Beth'-el  their 

14  confidence.     How  say  ye.  We  are  mighty  men,  and 
15 valiant  men  for  the  war?     Mo'ab  is  laid  waste,  and 

Hhey  are  gone  up  into  her  cities,  and  his  chosen 
young  men   are   gone  down  to  the  slaughter,  saith 

16  the  King,  whose  name  is  the  Lord  of  hosts.  The 
calamity  of  Mo'ab  is  near  to  come,  and  his  affliction 

17  hasteth  fast.  All  ye  that  are  round  about  him,  be- 
moan him,  and  all  ye  that  know  his  name ;  say. 
How  is  the  strong  *staff  broken,  the  beautiful  rod ! 

18  O  thou  daughter  that 'dwellest  in  Di'bon,  come  down 
from  thy  glory,  and  sit  in  thirst;  for  the  spoiler  of 
Mo'ab  is  come  up  against  thee,  he  hath  destroyed 

19  thy  strong  holds.  O  ^inhabitant  of  Ar'o-er,  stand 
by  the  way,  and  espy :  ask  him  that  fleeth,  and  her 

20 that  escapeth;  say,  What  hath  been  done?  Mo'ab 
is  put  to  shame ;  for  it  is  'broken  down :  howl  and 
cry;  tell  ye  it  in  Ar'non,  that  Mo'ab  is  laid  waste. 

21  And  judgement  is  come  upon  *the  plain  country ; 
upon  Ho'lon,  and  upon  Jah'zah,  and  upon  Meph'a-ath; 

22  and  upon  Di'bon,  and  upon  Ne'bo,  and  upon  Beth- 

23  dib-la-tha'im ;  and  upon  Kir-i-a-tha'im,  and  upon  Beth- 

24  ga'mul,  and  flpon  Beth-me'on ;  and  upon  Ke'ri-oth, 
and   upon   Boz'rah,  and   upon  all  the  cities  of  the 

25  land  of  Mo'ab,  far  or  near.  The  horn  of  Mo'ab  is 
cut   off,   and   his   arm  is  broken,  saith   the   Lord. 

26  Make  ye  him  drunken ;  for  he  magnified  himself 
against  the  Lord:   and  Mo'ab  shall  wallow  in  his 

27  vomit,  and  he  also  shall  be  in  derision.  For  was 
not  Is'ra-el  a  derision  unto  thee  ?  was  he  found 
among  thieves  ?   for  as  often  as  thou  speakest  of 

28  him,  thou  waggest  the  head.  O  ye  inhabitants  of 
Mo'ab,  leave  the  cities,  and  dwell  in  the  rock;  and 
be  like  the  dove  that  maketh  her  nest  in  the  sides 

29  of  the  hole's  mouth.  'We  have  heard  of  the  pride 
of  Mo'ab,  that  he  is  very  proud ;  his  loftiness,  and 
his  pride,  and  his  arrogancy,  and  the  haughtiness  of 

30  his  heart.  I  know  his  wrath,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
it  is  nought;  his  boastings  have  wrought  nothing. 

31  '"Therefore  will  I  howl  for  Mo'ab ;  yea,  I  will  cry  out 
for  all  Mo'ab :  for  the  men  of  Kir-he'res  shall  they 

32  mourn.  With  more  than  the  weeping  of  Ja'zer  will 
I  weep  for  thee,  "O  vine  of  Sib'mah :  thy  branches 

Sassea  over  the  sea,  they  reached  even  to  the  sea  of 
a'zer :  upon  thy  summer  fruits  and  upon  thy  viut- 

33  age  the  spoiler  is  fallen.  '^And  gladness  and  joy  is 
taken  away,  from  the  fruitful  field  and  from  the  land 
of  Mo'ab ;  and  I  have  caused  wine  to  cease  from 
the  winepresses:    none  shall  tread   with    shouting; 

34  the  shouting  shall  be  no  shouting.  "From  the  cry 
of  Hesh'bon  even  unto  E-le-a'leh,  even  unto  Ja'haz 
have  they  uttered  their  voice,  from  Zo'ar  even  unto 
Hor-o-na'im,'*to  Eg'lath-she-li-shi'yah :  for  the  waters 

35  of  Nim'rim  also  shall  become  "^desolate.  Moreover 
I  will  cause  to  cease  in  Mo'ab,  saith  the  Lord,  him 
that    offereth    in    the    high    place,   and    him    that 

36  burneth  incense  to  his  gods.  Therefore  mine 
heart  soundeth  for  Mo'ab  like  pipes,  and  mine 
heart  soundeth  like  pipes  for  the  men  of  Kir-he' rer : 
therefore   the    abundance    that  he    hath   gotten   is 

37  perished.     For  every  head  is  bald,  and  every  beard

38  There  shall  he  lamentation  generally  upon  all  the  house- 
tops of  Mo'ab,  and  in  the  streets  thereof:  for  I  have  broken 
Mo'ab  like  -^a  vessel  wherein  is  no  pleasure,  saith  the  Lord. 

39  They  shall  howl,  saying,  How  is  it  broken  down !  how 
bath  Mo'ab  turned  the  fbaek  with  shame!  so  shall  Mo'ab 
be  a  derision  and  a  dismaying  to  all  them  about  him, 

40  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Behold,  'he  shall  fly  as  an 
eagle,  and  shall  ""spread  his  wiugs  over  Mo'ab. 

41  'II  Ke'ri-oth  is  taken,  and  the  strong  holds  are  surprised, 
and  *the  mighty  men's  hearts  in  Mo'ab  at  that  day  shall  be 
as  the  heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs. 

42  And  Mo'ab  shall  be  destroyed  'from  being  a  people, 
because  he  hath  magnified  himself  against  the  Lord. 

43  ""Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the  snare,  shall  be  upon  thee,  O 
inhabitant  of  Mo'ab,  saith  the  Lord. 

44  He  that  fleeth  from  the  fear,  shall  fall  into  the  pit ;  and 
he  that  getteth  up  out  of  the  pit,  shall  be  taken  in  the 
snare  :  for  "I  will  bring  upon  it,  even  upon  Mo'ab,  the  year 
of  their  visitation,  saith  the  Lord. 

45  They  that  fled  stood  under  the  shadow  of  Hesh'bon  be- 
cause of  the  force:  but  "a  fire  shall  come  forth  out  of  Hesh'-

CHAFTER    XLIX. 

The  judgment  of  the  Ammonites;  their  restoration, 

II  pONCERNING  "the  Am'mon-ites,  thus  saith  the  Lord-" 

\J  Hath  Is'ra-el  no  sons  ?  Hath  he  no  heir  ?  why  then  doth 

II  their  king  inherit  ''Gad,  and  his  people  dwell  in  his  cities? 

2  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
I  will  cause  an  alarm  of  war  to  be  heard  in  'Rab'bah  of  the 
Am'mon-ites;  and  it  shall  be  a  desolate  heap,  and  her 
daughters  shall  be  burned  with  fire:  then  shall  Is'ra-el  be 
heir  unto  them  that  were  his  heirs,  saith  the  Lord. 

3  Howl,  O  Hesh'bon,  for  A'i  is  spoiled:  cry,  ye  daughters 
of  Rab'bah,  ''gird  you  with  sackcloth ;  lament,  and  run  to 
and  fro  by  the  hedges;  for  || their  king  shall  go  into  cap- 
tivity, and  his  'priests  and  his  princes  together. 

4  Wherefore  gloriest  thou  in  the  valleys,  ||thy  flowing 
valley,  O  •'backsliding  daughter?  that  trusted  in  her 
treasures,  'saying,  "Who  shall  come  unto  me? 

5  Behold,  I  will  bring  a  fear  upon  thee,  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  hosts,  from  ail  those  that  be  about  thee :  and  ye 
shall  be  driven  out  every  man  right  forth ;  and  none  shall 
gather  up  him  that  wandereth. 

6  And  "afterward  I  will  bring  again  the  captivity  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  ^'Concerning  E'dom,  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  */s 
wisdom  no  more  in  Te'raan  ?  'is  counsel  perished  from  the 
prudent?  is  their  wisdom  vanished? 

8  "Flee  ye,  ||turn  back,  dwell  deep,  O  inhabitants  of 
"De'dan ;  for  I  will  bring  the  calamity  of  E'sau  upon  him, 
the  time  that  I  will  visit  him. 

9  If  "grapegatherers  come  to  thee,  would  they  not  leave 
some  gleaniD<5  grapes?  if  thieves  by  night,  they  will  destroy 
j^till  they  have  enough. 

10  "But  I  have  made  E'sau  bare,  I  have  uncovered  his  secret 
places,  and  he  shall  not  be  able  to  hide  himself:  his  seed  is 
spoiled,  and  his  brethren,  and  his  neighbours,  and  'he  is  not. 

11  Leave  thy  fatherless  children,  I  will  preserve  them 
alive;  and  let  thy  widows  trust  in  me. 

12  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Behold,  'they  whose  judgment 


clipped:  upon  all  the  hands  are  cuttings^  and  upon 

38  the  loins  sackcloth.  On  all  the  housetops  of  Mo'ab 
and  in  the  streets  thereof  there  is  lamentation  every 
where :  for  I  have  broken  Mo'ab  like  a  vessel  wherein 

39  is  no  pleasure,  saith  the  Lord.  How  is  it  broken 
down !  'Aow  do  they  howl !  how  hath  Mo'ab  turned 
the  back  with  shame !  so  shall  Mo'ab  become  a  de- 
rision and  a  dismaying  to  all  that  are  round  about  him. 

40 For  thus  saith  the  Lord:  Behold,  he  shall  fly  as  an 
eagle,  and  shall  spread  out  his  wings  against  Mo'ab. 

41  ^Ke'ri-oth  is  taken,  and  the  strongholds  are  surprised, 
and  the  heart  of  the  mighty  men  of  Mo'ab  at  that 
day  shall  be  as  the  heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs. 

42  And  Mo'ab  shall  be  destroyed  from  being  a  peo- 
ple,   because    he    hath    magnified    himself  against 

43  the  Lord.  'Fear,  and  the  pit,  and  the  snare,  are 
upon  thee,  O  inhabitant  of  Mo'ab,  saith  the  Lord. 

44  He  that  fleeth  from  the  fear  shall  fall  into  the  pit ; 
and  he  that  getteth  up  out  of  the  pit  shall  be  taken 
in  the  snare:  for  I  will  bring  upon  her,  even  upon 
Mo'ab,  the  year  of  their  visitation,  saith  the  Lord. 

45*They  that  fled  stand  without  strength  under  the 
shadow  of  Hesh'bon :  'for  a  fire  is  gone  forth  out  of 
Hesh'bon,  and  a  flame  from  the  midst  of  Si'hon,  and 
hath  devoured  the  corner  of  Mo'ab,  and  the  crown 

46  of  the  head  of  the  tumultuous  ones.  Woe  unto 
thee,  O  Mo'ab !  the  people  of  Che'mosh  is  undone : 
for  thy  sons  are  taken  away  captive,  and  thy  daugh- 

47  ters  into  captivity.     Yet  will  I  ^bring  again  the  cap 
tivity  of  Mo'ab  in  the  latter  days,  saith  the  Lord. 
Thus  far  is  the  judgment  of  Mo'ab. 

^v  Oftbe  children  of  Am'mon.  Thus  saith  the  LoBD : 
Hath  Is'ra-el  no  sons?  hath  he  no  heir?  why  then 
doth  ^Mal'cam  'possess  Gad,  and  his  people  dwell  in 

2  the  cities  thereof?  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  cause  an  alarm  of  war  to 
be  heard  against  Rab'bah  of  the  children  of  Am'mon ; 
and  it  shall  become  a  desolate  'heap,  and  her  daugh- 
ters shall  be  burned  with  fire :  then  shall  Is'ra-el  *pos- 
sess  them  that  did  'possess  him,  saith  the  Lord. 

3  Howl,  O  Hesh'bon,  for  A'i  is  spoiled  ;  cry,  ye  daugh- 
ters of  Rab'bah,  gird  you  with  sackcloth :  lament,  and 
run  to  and  fro  among  the  fences ;  for  ^Mal'cam  shall 
go  into  captivity,  his  priests  and  his  princes  together. 

4 '"Wherefore  gloriest  thou  in  the  valleys,  thy  flowing 
valley,  O  backsliding  daughter?  that  trusted  in  her 

5 treasures,  saying,  Who  shall  come  unto  me?  Behold, 
I  will  bring  a  fear  upon  thee,  saith  the  Lord,  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  from  all  that  are  round  about  thee; 
and  ye  shall  be  driven  out  every  man  right  forth, 
and  there  shall  be  none  to  gather  up  him  that  wan- 

6dereth.  But  afterward  I  will  bring  again  the  cap- 
tivity of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  Of  E'dom.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  Is 
wisdom  no  more  in  Te'man?   is  counsel  perished 

8 from  the  prudent?  is  their  wisdom  vanished?  Flee 
ye,  turn  back,  dwell  deep,  O  inhabitants  of  De'dan ; 
for  I  will  bring  the  calamity  of  E'sau  upon  him,  the 

9  time  that  I  shall  visit  him.  If  grapegatherers  came 
to  thee,  "would  they  not  leave  some  gleaning  grapes? 
if  thieves  by  night,  would  they  not  destroy  till  they 

10  had  enough  ?  But  I  have  made  E'sau  bare,  I  have

11  brethren,  and  his  neighbours,  and  he  is  not.  Leave 
thy  fatherless  children,  I  will  preserve  them  alive ;

was  not  to  drink  of  the  cup,  have  assnredly  drunken ;  and 
art  thou  he  that  shall  altogether  go  unpunished  ?  thou  shalt 
not  go  unpunished,  but  thou  shalt  surely  drink  of  it. 

13  For  'I  have  sworn  by  myself,  saith  the  Lord,  that 
'Boz'rah  shall  become  a  desolation,  a  reproach,  a  waste,  and 
a  curse ;  and  all  the  cities  thereof  shall  be  perpetual  wastes. 

14  I  have  heard  a  "rumor  from  the  Lord,  and  an  ambas- 
sador is  sent  unto  the  heathen,  saying,  Gather  ye  together, 
and  come  against  her,  and  rise  up  to  the  battle. 

15  For,  lo,  I  will  make  thee  small  among  the  heathen,  and 
despised  among  men. 

16  Thy  terribleness  hath  deceived  thee,  and  the  pride  of 
thine  heart,  O  thou  that  dwellest  in  the  clefts  of  the  rock, 
that  boldest  the  height  of  the  hill :  "'though  thou  shouldest 
make  thy  "nest  as  high  as  the  eagle,  'I  will  bring  thee  down 
from  thence,  saith  the  Lord. 

17  Also  E'dom  shall  be  a  desolation :  "every  one  that 
goeth  by  it  shall  be  astonished,  and  shall  hiss  at  all  the 
plagues  thereof. 

18  'As  in  the  overthrow  of  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah  and 
the  neighbour  cities  thereof,  saith  the  Lord,  no  man  shall 
abide  there,  neither  shall  a  son  of  man  dwell  in  it. 

19  "Behold,  he  shall  come  up  like  a  lion  from  ''the  swell- 
ing, of  Jor'dan  against  the  habitation  of  the  strong :  but  I 
will  suddenly  make  him  run  away  from  her :  aud  who  is  a 
chosen  man,  that  I  may  appoint  over  her?  for  "who  is  like 
me?  and  who  will  ||  appoint  meihe  time?  and  ■'^who  is  that 
shepherd  that  will  stand  before  me  ? 

20  "Therefore  hear  the  counsel  of  the  Lord,  that  he  hath 
taken  against  E'dom ;  and  his  purposes,  that  he  hath  pur- 
posed against  the  inhabitants  of  Te'man:  Surely  the  least 
of  the  flock  shall  draw  them  out :  surely  he  shall  make  their 
habitations  desolate  with  them. 

21  ''The  earth  is  moved  at  the  noise  of  their  fall ;  at  the  cry 
the  noise  thereof  was  heard  in  the  fRed  sea. 

22  Behold,  'he  shall  come  up  and  fly  as  the  eagle,  and  spread 
his  wings  over  Boz'rah :  and  at  that  day  shall  the  heart  of  the 
mighty  men  of  E'dom  be  as  the  heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs. 

23  ^*Concerning  Da-mas'cus.  Ha'math  is  confounded,  and 
Ar'pad;  for  they  have  heard  evil  tidings:  they  are  ffaint- 
hearted;  'there  is  sorrow  ||on  the  sea;  it  can  not  be  quiet. 

24  Da-mas'cus  is  waxed  feeble,  and  turneth  herself  to  flee, 
and  fear  hath  seized  on  her:  "anguish  and  sorrows  have 
t^ken  her,  as  a  woman  in  travail. 

25  How  is  "the  city  of  praise  not  left,  the  city  of  my  joy  ! 

26  "Therefore  her  young  men  shall  fall  in  her  streets,  and 
all  the  men  of  war  shall  be  cut  ofi"  in  that  day,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

27  And  I  will  kindle  a  "fire  in  the  wall  of  Da-mas'cus,  and 
it  shall  consume  the  palaces  of  Ben-ha'dad. 

28  ^"Concerning  Ke'dar,  and  concerning  the  kingdoms  of 
Ha'zor,  which  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  shall 
smite,  thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Arise  ye,  go  up  to  Ke'dar,  and 
spoil  'the  men  of  the  east. 

29  Their  'tents  and  their  flocks  shall  they  take  away: 
they  shall  take  to  themselves  their  curtains,  and  all  their 
vessels,  and  their  camels;  and  they  shall  cry  unto  them, 
'Fear  is  on  every  side. 

30  ^"Flee,  fget  you  far  ofl',  dwell  deep,  O  ye  inhabitants 
of  Ha'zor,  saith  the  Lord  ;  for  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of 
Bab'y-lon  hath  taken  counsel  against  you,  and  hath  con- 
ceived a  purpose  against  you. 

31  Arise,  get  you  up  unto  ""the  ||  wealthy  nation,  that 
dwelleth  without  care,  saith  the  Lord,  which  have  neither 
gates  nor  bars,  which  "dwell  alone. 

32  And  their  camels  shall  be  a  booty,  and  the  multitude 
of  their  cattle  a  spoil:  and  I  will  "scatter  into  all  winds 
"them  that  are  jin  the  utmost  corners;  and  I  will  bring 
their  calamity  from  all  sides  thereof,  saith  the  liORD. 


not  to  drink  of  the  cup  shall  assuredly  drink ;  and 
art  thou  he  that  shall  altogether  go  unpunished? 
thou  shalt  not  go  unpunished,  but  thou  shalt  surely 

13  drink.  For  I  have  sworn  by  myself,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  Boz'rah  shall  become  an  astonishment,  a  reproach, 
a  waste,  and  a  curse  ;  and  all  the  cities  thereof  shall  be 

14  perpetual  wastes.  'I  have  heard  tidings  from  the 
Lord,  and  an  ambassador  is  sent  among  the  nations, 
saying.  Gather  yourselves  together,  and  come  against 

15  her,  and  rise  up  to  the  oattle.  For,  behold,  I  have 
made  thee   small  among  the    nations,  and   despised 

16  among  men.  As  for  thy  terribleness,  the  pride  of 
thine  heart  hath  deceived  thee,  O  thou  that  dwellest 
in  the  clefts  of  ^the  rock,  that  boldest  the  height  of 
the  hill :  though  thou  shouldest  make  thy  nest  as  high 
as  the  eagle,  I  will  bring  thee  down  from  thence,  saith 

1 7  the  Lord.  And  E'dom  shall  become  an  astonishment : 
every  one  that  passeth  by  it  shall  be  astonished,  and 

18  shall  hiss  at  all  the  plagues  thereof.  As  in  the  over- 
throw of  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah  and  the  neighbour 
cities  thereof,  saith  the  Lord,  no  man  shall  dwell  there, 

19  neither  shall  any  son  of  man  sojourn  therein.  Behold, 
he  shall  come  up  like  a  lion  from  the  ^pride  of  Jor'dan 
^against  the  strong  habitation :  "but  I  will  suddenly 
make  him  run  away  from  her;  and  whoso  is  chosen, 
him  will  I  appoint  over  her ;  for  who  is  like  me  ?  and 
who  will  appoint  me  a  time  ?  and  who  is  the  shep- 

20  herd  that  will  stand  before  me  ?  Therefore  hear  ye 
the  counsel  of  the  Lord,  that  he  hath  taken  against 
E'dom  ;  and  his  purposes,  that  he  hath  purposed 
against  the  inhabitants  of  Te'man :  Surely  ^they  shall 
drag  them  away,  even  the  little  ones  of  the  flock ; 
surely  he  shall  make  their  'habitation  ^desolate  with 

21  them.  The  earth  trembleth  at  the  noise  of  their 
fall;  there  is  a  cry,  the  noise   thereof  is  heard   in 

22  the  Red  Sea.  Behold,  he  shall  come  up  and  fly  as 
the  eagle,  and  spread  out  his  wings  against  Boz'rah : 
and  the  heart  of  the  mighty  men  of  E'dom  at  that 
day  shall  be  as  the  heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs 

23  Of  Da-mas'cus.  Ha'math  is  ashamed,  and  Ar'pad  ; 
for  they  have  heard  evil  tidings,  they  are  melted 
away :  there  is  'sorrow  on  the  sea  ;  it  can  not  be  quiet. 

24  Da-mas'cus  is  waxed  feeble,  she  turneth  herself  to 
flee,  and  trembling  hath  seized  on  her:  anguish  and 
sorrows  have  taken  hold  of  her,  as  of  a  woman  in 

25  travail.     How  is  the  city  of  praise  not  forsaken,  the 
26 city  of  my  joy?     Therefore    her  young  men   shall 

fall  in  her  streets,  and  all  the  men  of  war  shall  be 
brought  to  silence  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of 

27  hosts.  And  I  will  kindle  a  fire  in  the  wall  of  Da- 
mas'cus,  and  it  shall  devour  the  palaces  of  Ben-ha'dad. 

28  Of  Ke'dar,  and  of  the  kingdoms  of  Ha'zor,  which 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  smote. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  Arise  ye,  go  up  to  Ke'dar,  and 

29  spoil  the  children  of  the  east.  Their  tents  and  their 
flooks  shall  they  take ;  they  shall  carry  away  for  them- 
selves their  curtains,  and  all  their  vessels,  and  their 
camels :  and  they  shall  cry  unto  them,  Terror  on  every 

SOfiide.  Flee  ye,  wander  far  off,  dwell  deep,  O  ye  inhab- 
itants of  Ha'zor,  saith  the  Lord;  for  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  hath  taken  counsel  against  you,  and 

31  hath  conceived  a  purpose  against  you.  Arise,  get  you 
up  unto  a  nation  tnat  is  at  ease,  that  dwelleth  without 
care,  saith  the  Lord;  which  have  neither  gates  nor 

32  bars,  which  dwell  alone.  And  their  camels  shall  be 
a  booty,  and  the  multitude  of  their  cattle  a  spoil: 
and  I  will  scatter  unto  all  winds  them  that  have  the 
corners  of  their  hair  polled;  and  I  will  bring  their 
calftmity  from  every  side  of  them,  saith  the  Lord.

THE  word  that  the  IjORDspake°againstBab'y-lonandagainst 
the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans  fby  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet. 

2  Declare  ye  among  the  nations,  and  publish,  and  fset 
up  a  standard;  publish,  and  conceal  not:  say,  Bab'y-lon  is 
taken,  'Bel  is  confounded,  Me-ro'dach  is  broken  in  pieces; 
"^her  idols  are  confounded,  her  images  are  broken  in  pieces. 

3  "Tor  out  of  the  north  there  cometh  up  'a  nation  against 
her,  which  shall  make  her  land  desolate,  and  none  shall 
dwell  therein:  they  shall  remove,  they  shall  depart,  both 
man  and  beast. 

4  %In  those  days,  and  in  that  time,  saith  the  Lord,  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  come,  -they  and  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  together,  "going  and  weeping:  they  shall  go,  ''and 
seek  the  Lord  their  God. 

5  They  shall  ask  the  way  to  Zi'on  with  their  faces  thither- 
ward, saying,  Come,  and  let  us  join  ourselves  to  the  Lord 
in  'a  perpetual  covenant  that  shall  not  be  forgotten. 

6  My  people  hath  been  *lost  sheep:  their  shepherds  have 
caused  them  go  to  astray,  they  have  turned  them  away  on 
'the  mountains:  they  have  gone  from  mountain  to  hill, 
they  have  forgotten  their  fresting  place. 

7  All  that  found  them  have  "'devoured  them:  and  "their 
adversaries  said,  "We  offend  not,  because  they  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord,  'the  habitation  of  justice,  even  the  Lord, 
''the  hope  of  their  fathers. 

8  'Remove  out  of  the  midst  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  go  forth  out 
of  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and  be  as  the  he-goats  before 
the  flocks. 

9  ^'For,  lo,  I  will  raise  and  cause  to  come  up  against 
Bab'y-lon  an  assembly  of  great  nations  from  the  north 
country :  and  they  shall  'set  themselves  in  array  against  her; 
from  thence  she  shall  be  taken  ;  their  arrows  shall  be  as  of  a 
mighty  || expert  man;  "none  shall  return  in  vain. 

10  And  Chal-de'a  shall  be  a  spoil:  "'all  that  spoil  her  shall 
be  satisfied,  saith  the  Lord. 

11  '■Because  ye  were  glad,  because  ye  rejoiced,  O  ye  de- 
stroyers of  mine  heritage,  because  ye  are  grown  ffat  'as  the 
heifer  at  grass,  and  ||bellow  as  bulls; 

12  Your  mother  shall  be  sore  confounded;  she  that  bare 
you  shall  be  ashamed :  behold,  the  hindermost  of  the 
nations  shall  be  a  wilderness,  a  dry  land,  and  a  desert. 

13  Because  of  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  it  shall  not  be 
inhabited,  "but  it  shall  be  wholly  desolate :  'every  one  that 
goeth  by  Bab'y-lon  shall  be  astonished,  and  hiss  at  all  her 
plagues. 

14  "Put  yourselves  in  array  against  Bab'y-lon  round  about : 


33  And  Ha'zor  shall  be  a  dwelling  place  of  jackals, 
a  desolation  for  ever:  no  man  shall  dwell  there, 
neither  shall  any  son  of  man  sojourn  therein. 

34  The  word  of  the  Lord  that  came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah 
the  prophet  concerning  E'lam  in  the  beginning  of 

35  the  reign  of  Z jd-e-ki'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  saying,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  Behold,  I  will  break  the 

36  bow  of  E'lam,  the  chief  of  their  might.  And  upon 
E'lam  will  I  bring  the  four  winds  from  the  four 
quarters  of  heaven,  and  will  scatter  them  toward  all 
those  winds;   and  there  shall  be  no  nation  whither 

37  'the  outcasts  of  E'lam  shall  not  come.  And  I  will 
cause  E'lam  to  be  dismayed  before  their  enemies, 
and  before  them  that  seek  their  life:  and  I  will 
bring  evil  upon  them,  even  my  fierce  anger,  saith 
the  Lord;  and  I  will  send  the  sword  after  them. 

38  till  I  have  consumed  them :  and  I  will  set  my  thront 
in    E'lam,   and   will   destroy   from  thence  king  and 

39  princes,  saith  the  Lord.  But  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  the  latter  days,  that  I  will  bring  again  the  cap- 
tivity of  E'lam,  saith  the  Lord. 

vv  The  word  that  the  Lord  spake  concerning  Bab'y- 
lon,  concerning  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  by  Jer- 
e-mi'ah  the  prophet. 

2  Declare  ye  among  the  nations  and  publish,  and 
set  up  a  standard;  publish,  and  conceal  not:  say, 
Bab'y-lon  is  taken,  Bel  is  put  to  shame,  Me-ro'dach 
is  Mismayed ;  her  images  are  put  to  shame,  her  idols 

3  are  dismayed.  For  out  of  the  north  there  cometh 
up  a  nation' against  her,  which  shall  make  her  land 
desolate,  and   none  shall    dwell  therein :    they   are 

4  fled,  they  are  gone,  both  man  and  beast.  In  those 
d^ys,  and  in  that  time,  saith  the  Lord,  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  come,  they  and  the  children  of 
Ju'dah  together ;  they  shall  go  on  their  way  weeping, 

5  and  shall  seek  the  Lord  th^ir  God.  They  shall  in- 
quire concerning  Zi'on  with  their  faces  Hhitherward, 
saying,  Come  ye,  and  ''join  yourselves  to  the  Lord  in 
an  everlasting  covenant  that  shall  not  be  forgotten. 

6  My  people  hath  been  lost  sheep:  their  shepherds 
have  caused  them  to  go  astray,  they  have  turned 
them  away  on  the  mountains:  they  have  gone  from 
mountain  to  hill,  they  have  forgotten' their  resting 

7  place.  All  that  found  them  have  devoured  them : 
and  their  adversaries  said.  We  offend  not,  because 
they  have  sinned  against  the  Lord,  the  habitation 
of  justice,  even  the  Lord,  the  hope  of  their  fathers. 

8  Flee  out  of  the  midst  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  go  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and  be  as  the 

9  he-goats  before  the  flocks.  For,  lo,  I  will  stir 
up  and  cause  to  come  up  against  Bab'y-lon  an 
a.ssembly  of  great  nations  from  the  north  country: 
and  they  shall  set  themselves  in  array  against  her;

10 in  vain.     And  Chal-de'a  shall  be  a  spoil:  all  that 

11  spoil  her  shall  be  satisfied,  saith  the  Lord.  Be- 
cause ye  are  glad,  because  ye  rejoice,  O  ye  that 
plunder  mine  heritage,  because  ye  are  wanton  as 
an  heifer  "that  treadeth  out  the  corn,  and  neigh  as 

12 strong  horses;  your  mother  shall  be  sore  ashamed 
she  that  bare  you  shall  be  confounded  :  behold,  she 
shall  be  the  hindermost  of  the  nations,  a  wilderness, 

13  a  dry  land,  and  a  desert.  Because  of  the  wrath  of 
the  Lord  it  shall  not  be  inhabited,  but  it  shall  be 
wholly  desolate:  every  one  that  goeth  by  Bab'y-lon 

14shall  be  astonished,  and  hiss  at  ail  her  plagues.  Set

forth  "the  weapons  of  his  indignation  :  for  this  is  the  work

the  Lord  God  of  hosts :  for  "thy  day  is  come,  the  time  that 

1  will  visit  thee. 

32  And  fthe  most  proud  shall  stumble  and  fall,  and  none 
shall  raise  him  up :  and  *I  will  kindle  a  fire  in  his  cities,  and 
it  shall  devour  all  round  about  him. 

33  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  The  children  of  Is'ra-el

15  Shout  against  her  round  about;  she  hath  'submitted

19  punished  the  king  of  As-syr'i-a.  And  I  will  bring

The  judgment  of  God  against  Babylon  in  revenge  of  Israel, 

rpHUS  saith  the  Lord;  Behold  I  will  raise  up  against 
\-  Bab'y-lon,  and  against  them  that  dwell  in  the  fmidst  of 
them  that  rise  up  against  me,  °a  destroying  wind ; 

2  And  will  send  unto  Bab'y-lon  ''fanners,  that  shall  fan 
her,  and  shall  empty  her  land :  ''for  in  the  day  of  trouble 
they  shall  be  against  her  round  about. 

3  Against  him  that  bendeth  ''let  the  archer  bend  his  bow,  and 
against  him  thai  lifteth  himself  up  in  his  brigandine :  and  spare 
ye  not  her  young  men ;  'destroy  ye  utterly  all  her  host. 

4  Thus  the  slain  shall  fall  in  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans, 
•^and  they  that  are  thrust  through  in  her  streets. 

5  For  Is'ra-el  hath  not  been  forsaken,  nor  Ju'dah  of  his 
God,  of  the  Lord  of  hosts;  though  their  land  was  filled 
with  sin  against  the  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el.

hi.'?  soul :  be  not  cut  off  in  her  iniquity ;  for  *this  is  the  time  of 
the  Lord's  vengeance ;  'he  will  render  unto  her  a  recompense. 

7  *Bab'y-lon  hath  been  a  golden  cup  in  the  Lord's  hand, 
that  made  all  the  earth  drunken :  'the  nations  have  drunken 
of  her  wine ;  therefore  the  nations  ""are  mad. 

8  Bab'y-lon  is  suddenly  "fallen  and  destroyed:  "howl  for 
her;  "take  balm  for  her  pain,  if  so  be  she  may  be  healed. 

9  We  would  have  healed  Bab'y-lon,  but  she  is  not  healed : 
forsake  her,  and  'let  us  go  every  one  into  his  own  country : 
"■for  her  judgment  reacheth  unto  heaven,  and  is  lifted  up 
even  to  the  skies. 


upon   the   inhabitants  of  Bab'y-lon,  aud   upon   her 

36  princes,  and  upon  her  wise  men.  A  sword  is  upon 
the  'boasters,  and  they  shall  dote;  a  sword  is 
upon  her  mighty  men,  and  they  shall  !)e  dismayed, 

37  A  sword  is  upon  their  horses,  and  upon  their 
chariots,  and  upon  all  the  mingled  people  that  are 
in  the  midst  of  her,  and  they  shall  become  as 
women :   a  sword  is  upon   her   treasures,  and  they 

38  shall  be  robbed.  A  drought  is  upon  her  waters,  and 
they  shall  be  dried  up :  for  it  is  a  land  of  graven 

39  images,  and  they  are  mad  upon  ''idols.     'Therefore 
the  wild  beasts  of  the  desert  with  the  'wolves  shall 
dwell  there,  and  the  ostriches  shall  dwell  therein 
and  it  shall  be  no  more  inhabited  for  ever;  neither 
shall  it  be  dwelt  in  from  generation  to  generation. 

40  As  when  God  overthrew  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah  and 
the  neighbour  cities  thereof,  saith  the  Lord;  so 
shall  no  man  dwell  there,  neither  shall  any  son  of 

41  man  sojourn  therein.  'Behold,  a  people  cometh 
from  the  north ;  and  a  great  nation,  and  many  kings 
shall  be  stirred  up  from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the 

42 earth.  They  lay  hold  on  bow  and  spear;  they  are 
cruel,  and  have  no  mercy;  their  voice  roareth  like 
the  sea,  and  they  ride  upon  horses ;  every  one  set  in

43  ter  of  Bab'y-lon.  The  king  of  Bab'y-lon  hath  heard 
the  fame  of  them,  and  his  hands  wax  feeble  :  anguish 
hath  taken  hold  of  him,  and  pangs  as  of  a  woman 

44  in  travail.  ^Behold,  he  shall  come  up  like  a  lion 
from  the  pride  of  Jor'dan  against  the  strong  habita- 
tion :  but  I  will  suddenly  make  them  run  away  from 
her;  and  whoso  is  chosen,  him  will  I  appoint  over 
her:  for  who  is  like  me?  and  who  will  appoint  me 
a   time?   and  who  is  the    shepherd  that  will  stand 

45  before  me  ?  Therefore  hear  ye  the  counsel  of  the 
Lord,  that  he  hath  taken  against  Bab'y-lon ;  and  his 
purposes,  that  he  hath  purposed  against  the  land  of 
the  Chal-de'ans :  Surely  they  shall  drag  them  away, 
even   the   little   ones  of  the   flock ;  surely  he   shall 

46  make  their  habitation  desolate  with  them.  At  the 
noise  of  the  taking  of  Bab'y-lon  the  earth  trembleth, 
and  the  cry  is  heard  among  the  nations.

against  Bab'y-lon,  and  against  them  that  dwell  in 

2  "Leb-ka'ma-i,  a  destroying  wind.  And  I  will  send 
unto  Bab'y-lon  'strangers,  that  shall  fan  her;  and  they

3  shall  be  against  her  round  about.  'Let  not  the 
archer  bend  his  bow,  and  let  him  not  lift  himself  up

4 men;  '"destroy  ye  utterly  all  her  host.  And  they 
shall  fall  down  slain  in  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans, 

5  and  thrust  through  in  her  streets.  For  Is'ra-el  is  not 
forsaken,  nor  Ju'dah,  of  his  God,  of  the  Lord  of

6  Holy  One  of  Is'ra-el.  Flee  out  of  the  midst  of

in  her  iniquity:  for  it  is  the  time  of  the  Lord's 
vengeance ;  he  will  render  unto  her  a  recompence. 

7  Bab'y-lon  hath  been  a  golden  cup  in  the  Lord's 
hand,  that  made  all  the  earth  drunken :  the  nations 
have  drunk  of  her  wine ;  therefore  the  nations  are 

8 mad.  Bab'y-lon  is  suddenly  fallen  and  destroyed:

9  may  be  healed.  We  would  have  healed  Bab'y-lon,  but 
she  is  not  healed :  forsake  her,  and  let  us  go  every 
one  into  his  own  country:  for  her  judgement  reach-

11  "Make  fbright  the  arrows;  gather  the  shields:  "the 
Lord  hath  raised  up  the  spirit  of  the  kings  of  the  Medes : 
"for  his  device  is  against  Bab'y-lon,  to  destroy  it ;  because  it 
is  'the  vengeance  of  the  Lord,  the  vengeance  of  his  temple. 

12  "Set  up  the  standard  upon  the  walls  of  Bab'y-lon,  make 
the  watch  strong,  set  up  the  watchmen,  prepare  the  fam- 
bushes :  for  the  Lord  hath  both  devised  and  done  that  which 
he  spake  against  the  inhabitants  of  Bab'y-lon. 

13  'O  thou  that  dwellest  upon  many  waters,  abundant  in 
treasures,  thine  end  is  come,  and  the  measure  of  thy 
covetousness. 

14  "The  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sworn  fby  himself,  saying, 
Surely  I  will  fill  thee  with  men,  ''as  with  caterpillars;  and 
they  shall  f lift  'up  a  shout  against  thee. 

15  -Tie  hath  made  the  earth  by  his  power,  he  hath  estab- 
lished the  world  by  his  wisdom,  and  "hath  stretched  out 
the  heaven  by  his  understanding. 

16  ''When  he  uttereth  his  voice  there  is  a  ||  multitude  of 
waters  in  the  heavens;  and  'he  causeth  the  vapours  to 
ascend  from  the  ends  of  the  earth :  he  maketh  lightnings 
with  rain,  and  bringeth  forth  the  wind  out  of  his  treasures. 

17  *Every  man  ||  is  brutish  by  his  knowledge ;  every 
founder  is  confounded  by  the  graven  image  :  'for  his  molten 
image  is  falsehood,  and  there  is  no  breath  in  them. 

18  "They  are  vanity,  the  work  of  errors:  in  the  time  of 
their  visitation  they  shall  perish. 

19  "The  portion  of  Ja'cob  is  not  like  them;  for  he  is  the 
former  of  all  things :  and  Is'ra-el  is  the  rod  of  his  inherit- 
ance :  the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

20  "Thou  ar<  my  battle  axe,  and  weapons  of  war :  for  ||  with 
thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  nations,  and  with  thee  will  I 
destroy  kingdoms; 

21  And  with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  horse  and  his 
rider;  and  with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  chariot  and 
his  rider; 

22  With  thee  also  will  I  break  in  pieces  man  and  woman  ; 
and  with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  "old  and  young;  and 
with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  young  man  and  the 
maid; 

23  I  will  also  break  in  pieces  with  thee  the  shepherd  and 
his  flock  ;  and  with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  husband- 
man and  his  yoke  of  oxen ;  and  with  thee  will  I  break  in 
pieces  captains  and  rulers. 

24  'And  I  will  render  unto  Bab'y-lon  and  to  all  the  in- 
habitants of  Chal-de'a  all  their  evil  that  they  have  done  in 
Zi'on  in  your  sight,  saith  the  Lord. 

25  Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  'O  destroying  mountain, 
saith  the  Lord,  which  destroyest  all  the  earth :  and  I  will 
stretch  out  my  hand  upon  thee,  and  roll  thee  down  from  the 
rocks,  'and  will  make  thee  a  burnt  mountain. 

26  And  they  .'(hall  not  take  of  thee  a  stone  for  a  corner, 
nor  a  stone  for  foundations ;  'but  thou  shalt  be  fdesolate 
for  ever,  saith  the  Lord. 

27  "Set  ye  up  a  standard  in  the  land,  blow  the  trumpet 
among  the  nations,  ""prepare  the  nations  against  her,  call 
together  against  her  "the  kingdoms  of  Ar'a-rat,  Min'ni,  and 
Ash'che-naz;  appointa captain  against  her;  cause  the  horses 
to  come  up  as  the  rough  caterpillars. 

28  Prepare  against  her  the  nations  with  the  kings  of  the 
Medes,  the  captains  thereof,  and  all  the  rulers  thereof,  and 
all  the  land  of  his  dominion. 

29  And  the  land  shall  tremble  and  sorrow;  for  every 
purpose  of  the  Lord  shall  be  performed  against  Bab'y-lon, 
°to  make  the  land  of  Bab'y-lon  a  desolation  without  an  in- 
habitant. 

30  The  mighty  men  of  Bab'y-lon  have  forborne  to  fight, 


10 The  Lord  hath  brought  forth  our  righteousness: 
come,  and  let  us  declare  in  Zi'on  the  work  of  the 

11  Lord  our  God.  Make  'sharp  the  arrows;  %old 
firm  the  'shields :  the  Lord  hath  stirred  up  the  spirit 
of  the  kings  of  the  Medes;  because  his  device  is 
against  Bab'y-lon,  to  destroy  it :  for  it  is  the  vengeance 

12  of  the  Lord,  the  vengeance  of  his  temple.  Set  up  a 
standard  against  the  walls  of  Bab'y-lon,  make  the 
watch  strong,  set  the  watchmen,  prepare  the  am- 
bushes :  for  the  Lord  hath  both  devised  and  done 
that  which  he  spake  concerning  the  inhabitants  of 

13  Bab'y-lon.  O  thou  that  dwellest  upon  many  waters, 
abundant  in  treasures,  thine  end  is  come,  the  meas- 

14  ure  of  thy  ''covetousness.  The  Lord  of  hosts  hath 
sworn  by  himself,  saying,  Surely  I  will  fill  thee  with 
men,  as  with  the  cankerworm ;  and  they  shall  lift  up 
a  shout  against  thee. 

15  'He  hath  made  the  earth  by  his  power,  he  hath 
established  the  world  by  his  wisdom,  and  by  his 
understanding  hath   he  stretched  out  the  heavens: 

16  when  he  uttereth  his  voice,  there  is  a  tumult  of 
waters  in  the  heavens,  and  h«  causeth  the  vapours 
to  ascend  from  the  ends  of  the  earth;  he  maketh 
lightnings  for  the  rain,  and  bringeth  forth  the  wind 

17  out  of  his  treasuries.  Every  man  is  become 
brutish  and  is  without  knowledge;  every  goldsmith 
is  put  to  shame  by  his  graven  image :  for  his  molten 
image  is  falsehood,  and  there  is  no  breath  in  them. 

18  They  are  vanity^  a  work  of  delusion :  in  the  time  of 

19  their  visitation  they  shall  perish,  ihe  portion  of 
Ja'cob  is  not  like  these ;  for  he  is  the  former  of  all 
things;  and  Is'ra-el  is  the  tribe  of  his  inheritance r 
the  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

20  Thou  art  my  'battle  axe  and  weapons  of  war ;  and 
with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces   the  nations ;  and 

21  with  thee  will  I  destroy  kingdoms;  and  with  thee 
will  I  break  in  pieces  the  horse  and  his  rider;  and 
with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  chariot  and  him 

22 that  rideth  therein;  and  with  thee  will  I  break  in 
pieces  man  and  woman ;  and  with  thee  will  I  break 
in  pieces  the  old  man  and  the  youth :  and  with  thee 
will  I  break  in  pieces  the  young  man  and  the  maid ; 

23  and  with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  the  shepherd 
and  his  flock;  and  with  thee  will  I  break  in  pieces 
the  husbandman  and  his  yoke  of  oxen;  and  with 
thee  will  I  break  in  pieces  ^governors  and  deputies. 

24  And  I  will  render  unto  Bab'y-lon  and  to  all  the  in- 
habitants of  Chal-de'a  all  their  evil  that  they  have 
done  in  Zi'on  in  your  sight,  saith  the  Lord. 

25  Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  O  destroying  mount- 
ain, saith  the  Lord,  which  destroyest  all  the  earth : 
and  I  will  stretch  out  mine  hand  upon  thee,  and  roll 
thee  down  from  the  rocks,  and  will  make  thee  a  burnt 

26  mountain.  And  they  shall  not  take  of  thee  a  stone 
for  a  corner,  nor  a  stone  for  foundations;  but  thou 

27  shalt  be  desolate  for  ever,  saith  the  Lord.  Set  ye 
up  a  standard  in  the  land,  blow  the  trumpet  among 
the  nations,  'prepare  the  nations  against  her, 
call  together  against  her  the  kingdoms  of  Ar'a- 
rat,  Min'ni,  and  Ash'ke-naz;  appoint  a  marshal 
against    her;    cause    the    horses  to  come  up  as  the 

28  rough  cankerworm.  'Prepare  against  her  the 
nations,  the  kings  of  the  Medes,  the  governors 
thereof,  and   all    the  deputies   thereof,  and  all  the 

29  land  of  his  dominion.  And  the  land  trembleth 
and  is  in  pain :  for  the  purposes  of  the  Lord 
against  Bab'y-lon    do   stand,  to  make  the  land  of 

30  Bab'y-lon  a  desolation,  without  inhabitant.  The

they  have  remained  in  their  holds:  their  might  hath  failed; 
'they  became  as  women :  they  have  burned  her  dwelling 
places;  ''her  bars  are  broken. 

31  ''One  post  shall  run  to  meet  another,  and  one  messen- 
ger to  meet  another,  to  shew  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  that  his 
city  is  taken  at  one  end, 

32  And  that  "the  passages  are  stopped,  and  the  reeds  they 
have  burned  with  fire,  and  the  men  of  war  are  affrighted. 

33  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ; 
The  daughter  of  Bab'y-lon  ts -^like  a  thresh ingfloor,  "Wit  is 
time  to  thresh  her :  yet  a  little  while,  *and  the  time  of  her 
harvest  shall  come. 

34  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  hath  'devoured 
me,  he  hath  crushed  me,  he  hath  made  me  an  empty  ves- 
sel, he  hath  swallowed  me  up  like  a  dragon,  he  hath  filled 
his  belly  with  my  delicates,  he  hath  cast  me  out. 

35  fThe  violence  done  to  me  and  to  my  H  flesh  be  upon 
Bab'y-lon,  shall  the  finhabitant  of  Zi'on  say:  and  my  blood 
upon  the  inhabitants  of  Chal-de'a,  shall  Je-ru'sa-lem  say. 

36  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lokd;  Behold,  *I  will  plead 
thy  cause,  and  take  vengeance  for  thee;  'and  I  will  dry  up 
her  sea,  and  make  her  springs  dry. 

37  ""And  Bab'y-lon  shall  become  heaps,  a  dwellingplace 
for  dragons,  "an  astonishment,  and  a  hissing,  without  an 
inhabitant. 

38  They  shall  roar  together  like  lions:  they  shall  ||yell  as 
lions'  whelps. 

39  In  their  heat  I  will  make  their  feast,  and  "I  will  make 
them  drunken,  that  they  may  rejoice,  and  sleep  a  perpetual 
sleep,  and  not  wake,  saith  the  Lord. 

40  I  will  bring  them  down  like  lambs  to  the  slaughter, 
like  rams  with  he-goats. 

41  How  is  "She'shach  taken !  and  how  is  'the  praise  of 
the  whole  earth  surprised !  how  is  Bab'y-lon  become  an  as- 
tonishment among  the  nations! 

42  'The  sea  is  come  up  upon  Bab'y-lon :  she  is  covered 
with  the  multitude  of  the  waves  thereof. 

43  'Her  cities  are  a  desolation,  a  dry  land,  and  a  wilderness, 
a  land  wherein  no  man  dwelleth,  neither  doth  any  son  of 
man  pass  thereby. 

44  'And  I  will  punish  Bel  in  Bab'y-lon,  and  I  will  bring 
forth  out  of  his  mouth  that  which  he  hath  swallowed  up: 
and  the  nations  shall  not  flow  together  any  more  unto  him ; 
yea,  "the  wall  of  Bab'y-lon  shall  fall. 

45  ''My  people,  go  ye  out  of  the  midst  of  her,  and  deliver 
ye  every  man  his  soul  from  the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord. 

46  And  II  lest  your  heart  faint,  and  ye  fear  "for  the  rumour 
that  shall  be  heard  in  the  land;  a  rumour  shall  both  come 
one  year,  and  after  that  in  another  year  shall  come  a  rumour, 
and  violence  in  the  laud,  ruler  against  ruler. 

47  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come,  that  'I  will  fdo 
j  udgment  upon  the  graven  images  of  Bab'y-lon :  and  her 
whole  land  shall  be  confounded,  and  all  her  slain  shall  fall 
in  the  midst  of  her. 

48  Then  "the  heaven  and  the  earth,  and  all  that  is  therein, 
shall  sing  for  Bab'y-lon :  ''for  the  spoilers  shall  come  unto 
her  from  the  north,  saith  the  Lord. 

49  II  As  Bab'y-ion  hath  caused  the  slain  of  Is'ra-el  to  fall, 
.so  at  Bab'y-lon  shall  fall  the  slain  of  all  ||  the  earth. 

5,0  "Ye  that  have  escaped  the  sword,  go  away,  stand  not 
still :  remember  the  Lord  afar  off,  and  let  Je-ru'sa-lem  come 
into  your  mind. 

51  ''We  are  confounded,  because  we  have  heard  reproach: 
shame  hath  covered  our  faces ;  for  strangers  are  come  into 
the  sanctuaries  of  the  Lord's  house. 

52  Wherefore,  behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
"that  I  will  do  judgment  upon  her  graven  images:  and 
through  all  her  land  the  wounded  shall  groan. 

53,  /^Though  Bab'y-lon  should  mount  up  to  heaven,  and 


they  remain  in  their  strong  holds ;  their  might  hath 
failed;    they  are   become  as  women:    her  dwelling 

31  places  are  set  on  fire ;  her  bars  are  broken.  One 
post  shall  run  to  meet  another,  and  one  messenger 
to  meet  another,  to  shew  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  that 

32  his  city  is  taken  on  every  quarter :  and  the  'passages 
are  surprised,  and  the  ^reeds  they  have  burned  with 
fire,  and  the  men  of  war  are  affrighted. 

33  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is'- 
ra-el :  The  daughter  of  Bab'y-lon  is  like  a  threshing- 
floor  at  the  time  when  it  is  trodden;  yet  a  little 
while,  and  the  time  of  harvest  shall  come  for  her. 

34  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  hath  de- 
voured 'me,  he  hath  crushed  'me,  he  hath  made 
'me  an  empty  vessel,  he  hath  swallowed  'me  up  like 
a  dragon,  he  hath  filled  his  maw  with  my  delicates ; 

35  he   hath   cast  'me  out.     *The  violence  done  to  me 
and  to  my  flesh  be  upon  Bab'y-lon,  shall  the  "inhabit 
ant  of  Zi'on  say;   and.  My  blood  be  upon  the  in^ 

36  habitants  of  Chal-de'a,  shall  Je-ru'sa-lem  say.  There- 
fore thus  saith  the  Lord  :  Behold,  I  will  plead  thy 
cause,  and  take  vengeance  for  thee ;  and  I  will  dry 

37  up  her  sea,  and  make  her  fountain  dry.    And  Bab'y 
Ion  shall  become  heaps,  a  dwelling  place  for  jackals, 
an  astonishment,  and  an  hissing,  without  inhabitant, 

38 They  shall    roar   together   like  young  lions;  they 

39  shall  growl  as  lions'  whelps.  When  they  are 
heated,  I  will  make  their  feast,  and  I  will  make 
them   drunken,  that  they  may  rejoice,  and  sleep  a 

40  perpetual  sleep,  and  not  wake,  saith  the  Lord.  ,  I 
will  bring  them  down  like  lambs  to  the  slaughter, 

41  like  rams  with  he-goats.  How  is  'She'shach  taken ! 
and  the  praise  of  the  whole  earth  surprised!  how 
is  Bab'y-lon  become  ^a  desolation  among  the  nations ! 

42  The  sea  is  come  up  upon  Bab'y-lon :  she  is  covered 

43  with  the  ^multitude  of  the  waves  thereof.  Her  cities 
are  become  'a  desolation,  a  dry  land,  and  a  desert, 
a  land  wherein  no  man  dwelleth,  neither  doth  any 

44  son  of  man  pass  thereby.  And  I  will  'do  judge- 
ment upon  Bel  in  Bab'y-lon,  and  I  will  bring  forth 
out  of  his  mouth  that  which  he  hath  swallowed  up ; 
and  the  nations  shall  not  flow  together  any  more 
unto  him :  yea,  the  wall  of  Bab'y-lon  shall  fall. 

45  My  people,  go  ye  out  of  the  midst  of  her,  .and 
save   yourselves  every  man   from  the  fierce  anger 

46  of  the  Lord.  And  let  not  your  heart  faint,  neither 
fear  ye  for  the  rumour  that  shall  be  heard  in  the 
land;  for  a  rumour  shall  come  one  year,  and  after 
that  in  another  year  shall  come  a  rumour,  and  vio- 

471ence  in  the  land,  ruler  against  ruler.  Therefore, 
behold,  the  days  come,  that  I  will  do  judgement 
upon  the  graven  images  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  her  whole 
land  shall  be  ashamed ;  and  all  her  slain  shall  fall 

48  in  the  midst  of  her.  Then  the  heaven  and  the 
earth,  and  all  that  is  therein,  shall  sing  for  joy  over 
Bab'y-lon ;  for  the  spoilers  shall  come  unto  her  from 

49  the  north,  saith  the  Lord.  '°As'  Bab'y-lon  hath 
caused    the    slain  of   Is'ra-el  to    fall,  so   at  Bab'y- 

50  Ion  shall  fall  the  slain  of  all  the  "land.  Ye  that 
have  escaped  the  sword,  go  ye,  stand  not  still ;  re- 
member the  Lord  from  afar,  and  let  Je-ru'sa-lem 

51  come  into  your  mind.  We  are  ashamed,  because 
we  have  heard  reproach;  confusion  hath  covered 
our     faces:     for     strangers     are     come     into     the 

52  sanctuaries  of  the  Lord's  bouse.  Whereforej 
behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  do  judgement  upon  her  graven  images;  and 
through    all    her    land    the    wounded   shall   groan.

though  she  should  fortify  the  height  of  her  strength,  yet  from 
me  shall  spoilers  come  unto  her,  saith  the  Lord. 

54  "A  sound  of  a  cry  cometh  from  Bab'y-lon,  and  great 
destruction  from  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans : 

55  Because  the  Lord  hath  spoiled  Bab'y-lon,  and  destroyed 
out  of  her  the  great  voice;  when  her  waves  do  roar  like 
great  waters,  a  noise  of  their  voice  is  uttered ; 

56  Because  the  spoiler  is  come  upon  her,  even  upon  Bab'y- 
lon,  and  her  mighty  men  are  taken,  every  one  of  their  bows 
is  broken :  ''for  the  Lord  God  of  recompenses  shall  surely 
requite. 

67  'And  I  will  make  drunk  her  princes,  and  her  wise  men, 
her  captains,  and  her  rulers,  and  her  mighty  men ;  and  they 
shall  sleep  a  perpetual  sleep,  and  not  wake,  saith  *the  King, 
whose  name  is  The  Lord  of  hosts. 

58  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  ||'The  broad  walls  of 
Bab'y-lon  shall  be  utterly  ||  broken,  and  her  high  gates  shall 
be  burned  with  fire;  and  the  "people  shall  labour  in  vain, 
and  the  folk  in  the  fire,  and  they  shall  be  weary. 

59  ^The  word  which  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  commanded 
Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  ofNe-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Ma-a-se'iah,  when  he 
went  II  with  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  of  Ju'dah  into  Bab'ylon  in  the 
fourth  year  of  his  reign.  And  <Ai«  Ser-a-i'ah  was  a  ||quiet  prince. 

60  So  Jer-  e-mi'ah  wrote  in  a  book  all  the  evil  that  should 
come  upon  Bab'y-lon,  even  all  these  words  that  are  written 
against  Bab'y-lon. 

61  And  Jer-e-mi'ah  said  to  Ser-a-i'ah,  When  thou  comest  to 
Bab'y-lon,  and    shalt  see,  and  shalt  read  all  these   words; 

62  Then  shalt  thou  say,  O  Lord,  thou  hast  spoken  against 
this  place,  to  cut  it  off,  that  "none  shall  remain  in  it,  neither 
man  nor  beast,  but  that  it  shall  be  fdesolate  for  ever, 

63  And  it  shall  be,  when  thou  hast  made  an  end  of  reading 
this  book,  'that  thou  .shalt  bind  a  stone  to  it,  and  cast  it  into 
the  midst  of  Eu-phra'tes : 

64  And  thou  shalt  say,  Thus  shall  Bab'y-lon  sink,  and 
shall  not  rise  from  the  evil  that  I  will  bring  upon  her ;  ''and 
they  shall  be  weary.     Thus  far  are  the  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah. 

CHAPTER   LII 

Zedekiah  rebelteth— Jerusalem  is  besieged  and  taken, 

ZED-E-KI'AH  was  "one  and  twenty  years  old  when  he 
fbegan  to  reign,  and  he  reigned  eleven  years  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem.  And  his  mother's  name  waa  Ha-mu'tal  the  daughter 
of  Jer-e-mi'ah  of  Lib'nah. 

2  And  he  did  that  which  was  evil  in  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
according  to  all  that  Je-hoi'a-kim  had  done. 

3  For  through  the  anger  of  the  Lord  it  came  to  pass  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  till  he  had  cast  them  out  from  his  pres- 
ence, that  Zed-e-ki'ah  rebelled  against  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon. 

4  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  'ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in 
the  tenth  month,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the  month,  that  Neb-u- 
chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  came,  he  and  all  his  army, 
against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  pitched  against  it,  and  built  forts 
against  it  round  about. 

5  So  the  city  was  besieged  unto  the  eleventh  year  of  king 
Zed-e-ki'ah. 

6  And  in  the  fourth  month,  in  the  ninth  day  of  the  month, 
the  famine  was  sore  in  the  city,  so  that  there  was  no  bread 
for  the  people  of  the  land. 

7  Then  the  city  was  broken  up,  and  all  the  men  of  war 
fled,  and  went  forth  out  of  the  city  by  night  by  the  way  of 
the  gate  between  the  two  walls,  which  was  by  the  king's 
garden ;  (now  the  Chal-de'ans  were  by  the  city  round  about:) 
and  they  went  by  the  way  of  the  plain. 

8  ^But  the  army  of  the  Chal-de'anfi  j^ursued  after  the  king, 
and  overtook  2ied-e-ki'ah  in  the  plains  of  Jer'i-cho;  and  all 
his  army  was  scattered  from  him. 

9  "Then  they  took  the  king,  and  carried  him  up  unto  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah,  in  the  land  of  Ha'math ;  where 
he  gave  judgment  upon  him. 


though  she  should  fortify  the  height  of  her  strength, 
yet  from  me  shall  spoilers  come  unto  her,  saith  the 

54  Lord.  The  sound  of  a  cry  from  Bab'y-lon,  and  of 
great  destruction  from  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans ! 

55  for  the  Lord  spoileth  Bab'y-lon,  and  destroyeth  out  of 
her  the  great  voice ;  and  their  waves  roar  like  many 

56  waters,  the  noise  of  their  voice  is  uttered :  for  the 
spoiler  is  come  upon  her,  even  upoij  Bab'y-lon,  and 
her  mighty  men  are  taken,  their  bows  are  broken  in 
pieces :  for  the  Lord  is  a  God  of  recompences,  he  shall 

57  surely  requite.  And  I  will  make  drunk  her  princes 
and  her  wise  men,  her  governors  and  her  deputies, 
and  her  mighty  men ;  and  they  shall  sleep  a  perpetual 
sleep,  and  not  wake,  saith  the  King,  whose  name  is 

58  the  Lord  of  hosts.     Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts 
'The  broad  walls  of  Bab'y-lon  shall  be  utterly  ^over- 
thrown, and  her  high   gates  shall  be   burned   with 
fire ;  'and  the  peoples  shall  labour  for  vanity,  and 
the  nations  for  the  fire ;  and  they  shall  be  weary. 

59  The  word  which  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet  com- 
manded Ser-a-i'ah  the  son  of  Ne-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Mah- 
se'iah,  when  he  went  with  Zed-e-ki'ah  the  king  of 
Ju'dah  to  Bab'y-lon  in  the  fourth  year  of  his  reign. 

60  Now  Ser-a-i'ah  was  ^chief  chamberlain.  And  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  wrote  in  'a  book  all  the  evil  that  should  come 
upon  Bab'y-lon,  even  all  these  words  that  are  written 

61  concerning  Bab'y-lon.  And  Jer-e-mi'ahsaidtoSer-a-i'ah 
When  thou  comest  to  Bab'y-lon,  Hhen  see  that  thou 

62  read  all  these  words,  and  say,  O  Lord,  thou  hast 
spoken  concerning  this  place,  to  cut  it  off,  that  none 
shall  dwell  therein,  neitner  man  nor  beast,  but  that 

63  it  shall  be  desolate  for  ever.  And  it  shall  be,  when 
thou  hast  made  an  end  of  reading  this  book,  that  thou 
shalt  bind  a  stone  to  it,  and  cast  it  into  the  midst  of 

64  Eu-phra'tes :  and  thou  shalt  say.  Thus  shall  Bab'y-lon 
sink,  and  shall  not  rise  again  because  of  the  evil  that 
I  will  bring  ^upon  her:  and  they  shall  be  weary 

Thus  far  are  the  words  of  Jer-e-mi'ah, 

Oa  *Zed-e-ki'ah  was  one  bad  twenty  years  old  when 
he  began  to  reign;  and  he  reigned  eleven  years  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  his  mother's  name  was  Ha-mu'tal 

2  the  daughter  of  Jer-e-mi'ah  of  Lib'nah.  And  he  did 
that    which   was   evil   in   the   sight  of  the    Lord, 

3  according  to  all  that  Je-hoi'a-kim  had  done.  For 
through  the  anger  of  the  Lord  did  it  come  to  pass 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  Ju'dah,  until  he  had  cast  them  out 
from  his  presence:  and  Zed-e-ki'ah  rebelled  against 

4  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon.  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in  the  tenth  month,  in  the 
tenth  day  of  the  month,  that  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king 
of  Bab'y-lon  came,  he  and  all  his  army,  against  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  encamped  against  it ;  and  they  built  forts 

5  against  it  round  about.     So  the  city   was  besieged 

6  unto  the  eleventh  year  of  king  Zed-e-ki'ah.  In  the 
fourth  month,  in  the  ninth  day  of  the  month,  the 
famine  was  sore  in  the  city,  so   that   there   was  no 

7  bread  for  the  people  of  the  land.  Then  a  breach  was 
made  in  the  city,  and  all  the  men  of  war  fled,  and 
went  forth  out  of  the  city  by  night  by  the  way  of 
the  gate  between  the  two  walls,  which  was  by  the 
king's  garden;  (now  the  Chal-de'ans  were  against 
the  city  round  about:)  and  they  went  by  the  way 

8  of  the  Ar'a-bah.  But  the  army  of  the  Chal-de'ans  pur- 
sued after  the  king,  and  overtook  Zed-e-ki'ah  in  the 
plains  of  Jer'i-cho;  and  all  his  army  was  scattered 

9  from  him.  Then  they  took  the  king,  and  carried  him 
up  unto  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah  in  the  land 
of  Ha'math ;   and   he  'gave  judgement  upon    him.

10  ""And  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  slew  the  sons  of  Zed-e-ki'ah  be- 
fore his  eyes:  he  slew  also  alIthe'princes|of  Ju'dah,in  Rib'lah. 

11  Then  he  fput  out  the  eyes  of  Zed-e-ki'ah ;  and  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon  bound  him  in  ||  chains,  and  carried  him  to 
Bab'y-lon,  and  put  him  in  fprison  till  the  day  of  his  death. 

12  V^ow  in  the  fifth  month,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  ■''which  was  the  nineteenth  year  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon,  "came  Neb-u-zar-a'dan,  Hfcaptain  of  the 
guard,  which  f  served  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  into  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

13  And  burned  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  king's 
house ;  and  all  the  houses  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the  houses 
of  the  great  men,  burned  he  with  fire : 

14  And  ail  the  army  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  that  were  with  the 
captain  of  the  guard,  brake  down  all  the  walls  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
round  about. 

15  *Then  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  carried 
away  captive  certain  of  the  poor  of  the  people,  and  the 
residue  of  the  people  that  remained  in  the  city,  and  those 
that  fell  away,  that  fell  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  the  rest 
of  the  multitude. 

16  But  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  left  certain 
of  the  poor  of  the  land  for  vinedressers  and  for  husbandmen. 

17  'Also  the  *pillars  of  brass  that  were  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  bases,  and  the  brazen  sea  that  was  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  the  Chal-de'ans  brake,  and  carried  all 
the  brass  of  them  to  Bab'y-lon. 

18  'The  caldrons  also,  and  the  ||  shovels,  and  the  snuffers, 
and  the  ||  bowls,  and  the  spoons,  and  all  the  vessels  of  brass 
wherewith  they  ministered,  took  they  away. 

19  And  the  basins,  and  the  ||  firepans,  and  the  bowls,  and 
the  caldrons,  and  the  candlesticks,  and  the  spoons,  and  the 
cups ;  that  which  was  of  gold  in  gold,  and  that  which  was 
of  silver  in  silver,  took  the  captain  of  the  guard  away. 

20  The  two  pillars,  one  sea,  and  twelve  brazen  bulls  that 
were  under  the  bases,  which  king  Sol'o-mon  had  made  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord  :  "fthe  brass  of  all  these  vessels  was 
without  weight. 

21  And  concerning  the  "pillars,  the  height  of  one  pillar  was 
eighteen  cubits ;  and  a  ffillet  of  twelve  cubits  did  compass  it ; 
and  the  thickness  thereof  was  four  fingers :  it  was  hollow. 

22  And  a  chapiter  of  brass  was  upon  it;  and  the  height 
of  one  chapiter  was  five  cubits,  with  network  and  pome- 
granates upon  the  chapiters  round  about,  all  of  brass.  The 
second  pillar  also  and  the  pomegranates  were  like  unto  these. 

23  And  there  were  ninety  and  six  pomegranates  on  a  side ; 
and  'all  the  pomegranates  upon  the  network  were  a  hun- 
dred round  about. 

24  ^And  "the  captain  of  the  guard  took  Ser-a-i'ah  the  chief 
priest,  «and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  second  priest,  and  the  three 
keepers  of  the  fdoor: 

25  He  took  also  out  of  the  city  a  eunuch,  which  had 
the  charge  of  the  men  of  war ;  and  seven  men  of  them  that 
fwere  near  the  king's  person,  which  were  found  in  the 
city;  and  the  ||  principal  scribe  of  the  host,  who  mustered 
the  people  of  the  land;  and  threescore  men  of  the  people 
of  the  land,  that  were  found  in  the  midst  of  the  city. 

26  So  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  took  them, 
and  brought  them  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah. 

27  And  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  smote  them,  and  put  them 
to  death  in  Rib'lah  in  the  land  of  Ha'math.  Thus  Ju'dah  was 
carried  away  captive  out  of  his  own  land. 

28  'This  IS  the  people  whom  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  carried 
away  captive :  in  the  'seventh  year  'three  thousand  Jews  and 
three  and  twenty : 

29  "In  the  eighteenth  year  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  he  carried 
away  captive  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  eight  hundred  thirty  and  two 
tpersons : 

30  In  the  three  and  twentieth  year  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar, 
Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the  guard  carried  away  captive 


10  And  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  slew  the  sons  of  Zed-e-ki'ah 
before  his  eyes :  he  slew  also  all  the  princes  of  Ju'dah 

11  in  Rib'lah.  And  he  put  out  the  eyes  of  Zed-e-ki'ah ; 
and  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  bound  him  in  fetters,  and 
carried  him  to  Bab'y-lon,  and  put  him  in  prison  till 
the  day  of  his  death. 

12  Now  in  the  fifth  month,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  which  was  the  nineteenth  year  of  king  Neb-u- 
chad-rez-zar,  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  came  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the 
captain  of  the  guard,  which  stood  before  the  king  of 

1 3  Bab'y-lon,  into  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  he  burned  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  king's  house;  and  all  the  houses 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  even  'every  great  house,  burned  he  with 

14  fire.  And  all  the  army  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  that  were 
with  the  captain  of  the  guard,  brake  down  all  the 

15  wallsofJe-ru'sa-lem  round  about.  Then  Neb-u-zar-a'dan 
the  captain  of  the  guard  carried  away  captive  of  the 
poorest  sort  of  the  people,  and  the  residue  of  the  peo- 
ple that  were  left  in  the  city,  and  those  that  fell  away, 
that  fell  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  and  the  residue  of  the 

16  ^multitude.  But  Neb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  of  the 
guard  left  of  the  poorest  of  the  land  to  be  vinedress- 

17ers  and  husbandmen.  And  the  pillars  of  brass  that 
were  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  bases  and 
the  brasen  sea  that  were  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
did  the  Chal-de'ans  break  in  pieces,  and  carried  all 

18  the  brass  of  them  to  Bab'y-lon.  The  pots  also,  and 
the  shovels,  and  the  snuffers,  and  the  basons,  and 
the  spoons,  and  all  the  vessels  of  brass  wherewith 

19  they  ministered,  took  they  away.  And  the  cups,  and 
the  firepans,  and  the  basons,  and  the  pots,  and  the 
candlesticks,  and  the  spoons,  and  the  bowls ;  that 
which  was  of  gold,  in  gold,  and  that  which  was  of 
silver,  in  silver,  the  captain  of  the  guard  took  away. 

20  The  two  pillars,  the  one  sea,  and  the  twelve 
brasen  bulls  that  were  under  the  bases,  which  king 
Sol'o-mon  had  made  for  the  house  of  the  LoBD :  the 

21  brass  of  all  these  vessels  was  without  weight.  And 
as  for  the  pillars,  the  height  of  the  one  pillar  was  eigh- 
teen cubits ;  and  a  line  of  twelve  cubits  did  compass 
it :  and  the  thickness  thereof  was  four  fingers :   it  was 

22  hollow.  And  a  chapiter  of  brass  was  upon  it ;  and 
the  height  of  the  one  chapiter  was  five  cubits,  with 
network  and  pomegranates  upon  the  chapiter  round 
about,  all  of  brass :  and  the  second  pillar  also  had 

23  like  unto  these,  and  pomegranates.  And  there  were 
ninety  and  six  pomegranates  'on  the  sides;  all  the 
pomegranates    were  an  hundred  upon  the  network 

24  round  about.  And  the  captain  of  the  guard  took 
Ser-a-i'ah  the  chief  priest,  and  Zeph-a-ni'ah  the  second 

25  priest,  and  the  three  keepers  of  the  *door:  and 
out  of  the  city  he  took  an  'officer  that  was  set  over 
the  men  of  war ;  and  seven  men  of  them  that  saw  the 
king's  face,  which  were  found  in  the  city;  and  the 
scribe  of  the  captain  of  the  host,  who  mustered  the 
people  of  the  land;  and  threescore  men  of  the  people 
of  the  land,  that  were  found  in  the  midst  of  the  city. 

26  AndNeb-u-zar-a'dan  the  captain  ofthe  guard  took  them, 
and  brought  them  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  to  Rib'lah. 

27  And  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  smote  them,  and  put  them 
to  death  at  Rib'lah  in  the   land    of  Ha'math.     So 

28  Ju'dah  was  carried  away  captive  out  of  his  land.  This 
is  the  people  whom  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  carried  away 
captive:    in  the  seventh  year  three  thousand  Jews 

29 and  three  and  twenty:  in  the  eighteenth  year  of 
Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  he  carried  away  captive  from  Je-ru'- 

30  sa-lem  eight  hundred  thirty  and  two  persons  :  in  the 
three  and  twentieth  year  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  Neb-u- 
zar-a'dan  the  captain  ofthe  guard  carried  away  captive

THE 


LAMENTATIONS 


OF  JEREMIAH. 


CHAF'TER    I. 

The  miserable  estate  of  Jerusalem  by  reason  of  her  sin — Her  complaint. 

HOW  doth  the  city  sit  solitary,  that  was  full  of 
people !  "^how  is  she  become  as  a  widow !  she  that  was 
great  among  the  nations,  and  'princess  among  the  prov- 
inces, how  is  she  become  tributary  ! 

2  She  "weepeth  sore  in  the  ''night,  and  her  tears  are 
on  her  cheeks :  'among  all  her  lovers  'she  hath  none 
to  comfort  her :  all  her  friends  have  dealt  treacherously 
with  her,  they  are  become  her  enemies. 

3  'Ju'dah  is  gone  into  captivity  because  of  affliction, 
and  fbecause  of  great  servitude :  *she  dwelleth  among 
the  heathen,  she  findeth  no  rest:  all  her  persecutors 
overtook  her  between  the  straits. 

4  The  ways  of  Zi'on  do  mourn,  because  none  come 
to  the  solemn  feasts :  all  her  gates  are  desolate :  her 
priests  sigh,  her  virgins  are  afflicted,  and  she  is  in  bit- 
terness. 

5  Her  adversaries  'are  the  chief,  her  enemies  prosper ; 
for  the  Lord  hath  afflicted  her  *for  the  multitude  of  her 
transgressions:  her  'children  are  gone  into  captivity 
before  the  enemy. 

6  And  from  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  all  her  beauty  is 
departed:  her  princes  are  become  like  harts  that  find 
no  pasture,  and  they  are  gone  without  strength  before 
the  pursuer. 

7  Je-ru'sa-lem  remembered  in  the  days  of  her  affliction 
and  of  her  miseries  all  her  ||  pleasant  things  that  she 
had  in  the  days  of  old,  when  her  people  fell  into  the 
hand  of  the  enemy,  and  none  did  help  her :  the  adver- 
.saries  saw  her,  and  did  mock  at  her  sabbaths. 

8  "Je-ru'sa-lem  hath  grievously  sinned :  therefore  she 
fis  removed:  all  that  honoured  her  despise  her,  be- 
cause "they  have  seen  her  nakedness :  yea,  she  sigheth 
and  turneth  backward. 

&  Her  filthiness  is  in  her  skirts;  she  "remembereth 
not  her  last  end ;  therefore  she  came  down  wonderfally : 
"she  had  no  comforter.  O  Loed,  behold  my  affliction : 
for  the  enemy  hath  magnified  himself. 


THE 


LAMENTATIONS 


OF  JEREMIAH. 


How  doth  the  city  sit  solitary,  that  was  full  of  people ! 

How  is  she  become  as  a  widow! 

She  that  was    great  among   the   nations,  and    princess 

among  the  provinces. 
How  is  she  become  tributary ! 

2  Sheweepeth  sore  in  the  night,andher  tearsareouhercheeks; 
Among  all  her  lovers  she  hath  none  to  comfort  her : 

All  her  friends  have  dealt  treacherously  with  her. 
They  are  become  her  enemies. 

3  Ju'dah  is  gone  into  ^captivity  because  of  affliction,  and 

because  of  great  servitude ; 
She  dwelleth  among  the  heathen,  she  findeth  no  rest : 
All  her  persecutors  overtook  her  within  the  straits. 

4  The  ways  of  Zi'on  do  mourn,  because  none  come  to  the 

'solemn  assembly; 
All  her  gates  are  desolate,  her  priests  do  sigh : 
Her  virgins  are  afflicted,  and  she  herself  is  in  bitterness. 

5  Her  adversaries  are  become  the  head,  her  enemies  prosper ; 
For  the  Lord  hath  afflicted  her  for  the  multitude  of  her 

transgressions : 
Her  young  children  are  gone  into  captivity  before  the 
adversary. 

6  And  from  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  all  her  ^majesty  is  departed : 
Her  princes  are  become  like  harts  that  find  no  pasture. 
And  they  are  gone  without  strength  before  the  pursuer. 

7  Je-ru'sa-lem  remembereth  in  the  days  of  her  affliction  and 

of  her  "miseries 
All  her  pleasant  things  that  were  from  the  days  of  old: 
When  her  people  fell  into  the  hand  of  the  adversary,  and 

none  did  help  her, 
The  adversaries  saw  her,  they  did  mock  at  her  'desolations. 

8  Je-ru'sa-lem  hath  grievously  sinned ;  therefore  she  'is  be- 

come as  an  unclean  thing: 
All  that  honoured  her  despise  her,  because  they  have  seen 

her  nakedness : 
Yea,  she  sigheth,  and  tumeth  backward. 

9  Her  filthiness  was  in  her  skirts;  she  remembered  not  her 

latter  end ; 
Therefore  is  she  come  down   wonderfully ;  she  hath  no 

comforter : 
Behold,  O   IjOrd,  my  affliction;    for  the   enemy   hath 

magnified  himself.

10  The  adversary  hath  spread  out  his  hand  upon  'all 
her  II  pleasant  things:  for  she  hath  seen  that  'the 
heathen  entered  into  her  sanctuary,  whom  thou  didst 
command  that  'they  should  not  enter  into  thy  congre- 
gation. 

1 1  All  her  people  sigh,  'they  seek  bread ;  they  have 
given  their  pleasant  things  for  meat  jj  to  relieve  the 
soul :  see,  O  LoKD,  and  consider ;  for  I  am  become 
vile. 

12  ^\\Is  it  nothing  to  you,  all  ye  that  fpass  by? 
behold,  and  see  "if  there  be  any  sorrow  like  unto  my 
sorrow,  which  is  done  unto  me,  wherewith  the  Lord 
hath  afflicted  me  in  the  day  of  his  fierce  anger. 

13  From  above  hath  he  sect  fire  into  my  bones,  and 
it  prevaileth  against  them;  he  hath  ''spread  a  net  for 
my  feet,  he  hath  turned  me  back:  he  hath  made  me 
desolate  and  faint  all  the  day. 

14  "The  yoke  of  my  transgressions  is  bound  by  his 
hand ;  they  are  wreathed,  and  come  up  upon  my  neck ; 
he  hath  made  my  strength  to  fall,  the  Lord  hath  deliv- 
ered me  into  their  hands, /rom  whom  I  am  not  able  to 
rise  up. 

15  The  Lord  hath  trodden  under  foot  all  my  mighty 
men  in  the  midst  of  me :  he  hath  called  an  assembly 
against  me  to  crush  my  young  men :  'the  Lord  hath 
trodden  ||the  virgin,  the  daughter  of  Ju'dah,  as  in  a 
winepress. 

16  For  these  things  I  weep;  "mine  eye,  mine  eye  run- 
i.eth  down  with  water,  because  'the  comforter  that 
should  frelieve  my  soul  is  far  from  me:  my  children 
are  desolate,  because  the  enemy  prevailed. 

17  "Zi'on  spreadeth  forth  her  hands,  and  Hhere  is 
none  to  comfort  her:  the  Lord  hath  commanded  con- 
cerning Ja'cob,  that  his  adversaries  should  be  round 
about  him:  Je-ru'sa-lem  is  as  a  menstruous  woman 
among  them. 

18  ^The  Lord  is  'righteous;  for  I  have  -^rebelled 
against  his  fcommandment ;  hear,  I  pray  you,  all 
people,  and  behold  my  sorrow :  my  virgins  and  my 
young  men  are  gone  into  captivity. 

19  I  called  for  my  lovers,  but  "they  deceived  me: 
my  priests  and  mine  elders  gave  up  the  ghost  in  the 
city,  ''while  they  sought  their  meat  to  relieve  their 
souls. 

20  Behold,  O  Lord  ;  for  I  am  in  distress :  my  "bowels 
are  troubled;  mine  heart  is  turned  within  me;  for  I 
have  grievously  rebelled :  ^abroad  the  sword  bereaveth, 
at  home  there  is  as  death. 

21  They  have  heard  that  I  sigh;  Hhere  is  none  to 
comfort  me:  all  mine  enemies  have  heard  of  my 
trouble;  they  are  glad  that  thou  hast  done  it:  thou 
wilt  bring  ""the  day  that  thou  hast  ||  called,  and  they 
shall  be  like  unto  me. 

22  "Let  all  their  Avickedness  come  before  thee ;  and 
do  unto  them,  as  thou  hast  done  unto  me  for  all  my 
transgressions;  for  my  sighs  are  many,  and  °my  heart 
is  faint. 

CHAPTER  II. 

JeremicLh  lamfnteth  the  misery  of  Jerusalem. 

HOW  hath  the  Lord  covered  the  daughter  of  Zi'on 
with  a  cloud  in  his  anger,  "and  cast  down  from 
heaven  unto  the  earth  'the  beauty  of  Is'ra-el,  and  re- 
membered not  "his  footstool  in  the  day  of  his  anger ! 


10  The  adversary  hath  spread  out  his  hand  upon  all  her 

pleasant  things: 
For  she  hath   Seen   that  the  heathen  are  entered  into, 

her  sanctuary. 
Concerning    whom    thou    didst    command    that    they 

should  not  enter  into  thy  congregation. 

11  All  her  people  sigh,  they  seek  bread; 

They  have  given  their  pleasant  things  for  meat  to  re- 
fresh the  soul : 

See,  O  Lord,  and  behold ;  for  I  am  become  vile. 
12 Is  it  nothing  to  you,  all  ye  that  pass  by? 

Behold,  and  see  if  there  be  any  sorrow  like  unto  my 
sorrow,  which  is  done  unto  me, 

'Wherewith  the  Lord  hath  afflicted  me  in  the  day  of 
his  fierce  anger. 

13  From   on   high   hath  he  sent   fire  into  my  bones,  and 

it  prevaileth  against  them : 
He  hath  spread  a  net  for  my  feet,  he  hath  turned  me  back ; 
He  hath  made  me  desolate  and  faint  all  the  day. 

14  The  yoke  of  my  transgressions  is  bound  by  his  hand ; 
They  are  knit  together,  they  are  come  up  upon  my  neck ; 

he  hath  made  my  strength  to  ^fail: 
The  Lord  hath  delivered  me  into  their  hands,  'against 
whom  I  am  not  able  to  stand. 

15  The  Lord  hath  set  at  nought  all  my  mighty  men  in  the 

midst  of  me ; 
He  hath  called  a  solemn  assembly  against  me  to  crush 

my  young  men : 
The   Lord   hath   trodden  as  in  a  winepress  the  virgin 

daughter  of  Ju'dah, 

16  For  these  things  I  weep;    mine  eye,  mine  eye  runneth 

down  with  water; 

Because  the  comforter  that  should  refresh  my  soul  is  &r 
from  me: 

My  children  are  desolate,  because  the  enemy  hath  pre- 
vailed. 

17  Zi'on  spreadeth  forth  her  hands;  there  is  none  to  com- 

fort her; 
The  Lord  hath  commanded  concerning  Ja'cob,  that  they 

that  are  round  about  him  should  be  his  adversaries : 
Je-ru'sa-lem  is  among  them  as  an  unclean  thing. 
18 The  Lord  is  righteous;   for  I  have  rebelled  against  his 

commandment : 
Hear,  I  pray  you,  all  ye  peoples,  and  behold  my  sorrow : 
My  virgins  and  my  young  men  are  gone  into  captivity. 
191  called  for  my  lovers,  but  they  deceived  me : 

My  priests  and  mine  elders  gave  up  the  ghost  in  the  city, 
While  they  sought  them  meat  to  refresh  their  souls. 
20 Behold,  O  Lord;   for  I  am  in  distress;  my  bowels  are 

troubled ; 
Mine  heart  is  turned  within  me;    for  I  have  grievously 

rebelled : 
Abroad  the  sword  bereaveth,  at  home  there  is  as  death. 

21  They  have  heard  that  I  sigh ;  there  is  none  to  comfort  me ; 
All  mine  enemies  have   heard  of  my  trouble;   they  are 

glad  that  thou  hast  done  it : 
Thou  wilt  bring  the  day  that  thou  hast  proclaimed,  and 
they  shall  be  like  unto  me. 

22  Let  all  their  wickedness  come  before  thee; 

And  do  unto  them,  as  thou  hast  done  unto  me  for  all 

my  transgressions : 
For  my  sighs  are  many,  and  my  heart  is  &int. 

^  How  hath  the  Lord  covered  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  with 

a  cloud  in  his  anger ! 
He   hath   cast  down  from  heaven   unto  the  earth  the 

beauty  of  Is'ra-el, 
And  hath  not  remembered  his  footstool  in  the  day  of 

his  anger.

2  The  Lord  hath  swallowed  up  all  the  habitations  of 
Ja'cob,  ''and  hath  not  pitied:  he  hath  thrown  down  in 
his  wrath  the  strong  holds  of  the  daughter  of  Ju'dah ; 
he  hath  f  brought  them  down  to  the  ground :  'he  hath 
polluted  the  kingdom  and  the  princes  thereof. 

3  He  hath  cut  off  in  his  fierce  anger  all  the  horn  of 
Is'ra-el :  -^he  hath  drawn  back  his  right  hand  from  be- 
fore the  enemy,  "and  he  burned  against  Ja'cob  like  a 
flaming  fire,  which  devoureth  round  about. 

4  'He  hath  bent  his  bow  like  an  enemy :  he  stood  with 
his  right  hand  as  an  adversary  and  slew  fall  that  were 
pleasant  to  the  eye  in  the  tabernacle  of  the  daughter 
of  Zi'on :  he  poured  out  his  fury  like  fire. 

5  *The  Lord  was  as  an  enemy :  he  hath  swallowed  up 
Is'ra-el,  'he  hath  swallowed  up  all  her  palaces :  he  hath 
destroyed  his  strong  holds,  and  hath  increased  in  the 
daughter  of  Ju'dah  mourning  and  lamentation. 

6  And  he  hath  violently  ""taken  away  his  ||  tabernacle, 
"as  if  it  were  of  a  garden :  he  hath  destroyed  his  places 
of  the  assembly :  "the  Lord  hath  caused  the  solemn 
feasts  and  sabbaths  to  be  forgotten  in  Zi'on,  and  hath 
despised  in  the  indignation  of  his  anger  the  king  and 
the  priest. 

7  The  Lord  hath  cast  off  his  altar,  he  hath  abhorred 
his  sanctuary,  he  hath  fgiven  up  into  the  hand  of  the 
enemy  the  walls  of  her  palaces;  ''they  have  made  a 
noise  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  as  in  the  day  of  a 
solemn  feast. 

8  The  LoBD  hath  purposed  to  destroy  the  wall  of  the 
daughter  of  Zi'on:  «he  hath  stretched  out  a  line,  he 
hath  not  withdrawn  his  hand  from  fdestroying ;  there- 
fore he  made  the  rampart  and  the  wall  to  lament; 
they  languish  together. 

9  Her  gates  are  sunk  into  the  ground;  he  hath  de- 
stroyed and  'broken  her  bars :  'her  king  and  her 
princes  are  among  the  Gentiles :  the  law  is  no  more : 
her  "prophets  also  find  no  vision  from  the  Lobd. 

10  The  elders  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  ""sit  upon  the 
ground,  and  keep  silence ;  they  have  "cast  up  dust  upon 
their  heads :  they  have  'girded  themselves  with  sack- 
cloth: the  virgins  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  hang  down  their 
heads  to  the  ground. 

11  "Mine  eyes  do  fail  with  tears,  'my  bowels  are 
troubled,  "my  liver  is  poured  upon  the  earth,  for  the 
destruction  of  the  daughter  of  my  people;  because 
■the  children  and  the  sucklings  ||  swoon  in  the  streets 
of  the  city. 

12  They  say  to  their  mothers.  Where  is  corn  and 
wine?  when  they  swooned  as  the  wounded  in  the 
streets  of  the  city,  when  their  soul  was  poured  out  into 
their  mothers'  bosom. 

13  What  thing  shall  I  take  to  witness  for  thee? 
•what  thing  shall  I  liken  to  thee,  O  daughter  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem ?  What  shall  I  equal  to  thee,  that  I  may  comfort 
thee,  O  virgin  daughter  of  Zi'on  ?  for  thy  breach  is  great 
like  the  sea :  who  can  heal  thee  ? 

14  Thy  ■'prophets  have  seen  vain  and  foolish 
things  for  thee:  and  they  have  'not  discovered 
thine     iniquity,     to     turn     away     thy     captivity; 


2  The  Lord  hath  swallowed  up  all  the  habitations  of  Ja'cob, 

and  hath  not  pitied  : 
He  hath  thrown  down  in  his  wrath  the  strong  holds  of 

the  daughter  of  Ju'dah ; 
He  hath  brought  them  down  to  the  ground : 
He  hath  profaned  the  kingdom  and  the  princes  thereof. 

3  He  hath  cut  off  in  fierce  anger  'all  the  horn  of  Is'ra-el ; 
He  hath  drawn  back   his  right  hand  from    before  the 

enemy : 
And  he  hath  burned  up  Ja'cob  like  a  flaming  fire,  which 
devoureth  round  about. 

4  He  hath  bent  his  bow  like  an  enemy,  he  hath  stood  with 

his  right  hand  as  an  adversary, 
And  hath  slain  all  that  were  pleasant  to  the  eye : 
^In  the  tent  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  he  hath  poured  out 

his  fury  like  fire. 

5  The  Lord  is  become  as  an  enemy,  he  hath  swallowed  up 

Is'ra-el ; 

He  hath  swallowed  up  all  her  palaces,  he  hath  destroyed 
his  strong  holds : 

And  he  hath  multiplied  in  the  daughter  of  Ju'dah  mourn- 
ing and  lamentation. 

6  And  he  hath  violently  taken  away  his  'tabernacle,  as  if 

it  were  of  a  garden  ; 
He  hath  destroyed  his  place  of  assembly ; 
The  Lord  hath  caused  ^solemn  assembly  and  sabbath  to 

be  forgotten  in  Zi'on, 
And  hath  despised  in  the  indignation  of  his  anger  the 

king  and  the  priest. 

7  The  Lord  hath  cast  off  his  altar,  he  hath  abhorred  his 

sanctuary, 
He  hath  given  up  into  the  hand  of  the  enemy  the  walls 

of  her  palaces : 
They  have  made  a  noise  in  the  house  of  the  Lord,  as  in 

the  day  of  a  solemn  assembly. 

8  The  Lord  hath  purposed  to  destroy  the    wall   of  the 

daughter  of  Zi'on ; 
He  hath  stretched  out  the  line,  he  hath  not  withdrawn 

his  hand  from  'destroying : 
But   he   hath   made   the    rampart  and   wall  to  lament; 

they  languish  together. 

9  Her  gates  are  sunk  into  the  ground ;  he  hath  destroyed 

and  broken  her  bars : 
Her  king  and  her  princes  are  among  the  nations  where 

the  law  is  not ; 
Yea,  her  prophets  find  no  vision  from  the  Lord. 

10  The  elders  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on  sit  upon  the  ground,

They  have  cast  up  dust  upon  their  heads;  they  have 

girded  themselves  with  sackcloth : 
The  virgins  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  hang  down  their  heads  to  the 

ground. 

11  Mine  eyes  do  fail  with  tears,  my  bowels  are  troubled, 
My  liver  is  poured  upon  the  earth,  for  the  ^destruction  of 

the  daughter  of  my  people ; 
Because  the  young  chilaren  and  the  sucklings  swoon  in 
the  streets  of  the  city.

When  they  swoon  as  the  wounded  in  the  streets  of  the  city. 
When  their  soul  is  poured  out  into  their  mothers'  bosom. 

13  What  shall  I  'testify  unto  thee?  what  shall  I  liken  to 

thee,  O  daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  ? 
What  shall  I  equal  to  thee,  that  I  may  comfort  thee,  O 

virgin  daughter  of  Zi'on  ? 
For  thy  breach  is  great  like  the  sea:  who  can  heal  thee?

CHAPTER  III. 

The  prophet  bewaiteth  his  own  calamities  ;  his  humble  confession  of  sins. 

I  .43/ the  man  that  hath  seen  affliction  by  the  rod  of 
his  wrath. 

2  He  hath  led  me,  and  brought  me  into  darkness,  but 
not  into  light. 

3  Surely  against  me  is  he  turned;  he  turneth  his 
hand  against  me  all  the  day. 

4  "My  flesh  and  my  skin  hath  he  made  old;  he  hath 
'broken  my  bones. 

5  He  hath  builded  against  me,  and  compassed  me 
with  gall  and  travail. 

6  'He  hath  set  me  in  dark  places,  as  they  that  be  dead 
of  old. 

7  ''He  hath  hedged  me  about,  that  I  cannot  get  out: 
he  hath  made  my  chain  heavy. 

8  Also  'when  I  cry  and  shout,  he  shutteth  out  my  prayer. 

9  He  hath  inclosed  my  ways  with  hewn  stone,  he 
hath  made  my  paths  crooked. 

10  -^He  loas  unto  me  as  a  bear  lying  in  wait,  and  as  a 
lion  in  secret  places. 

11  He  hath  turned  aside  my  ways,  and  "pulled  me  in 
pieces:  he  hath  made  me  desolate. 

12  He  hath  bent  his  bow,  and  *8et  me  as  a  mark  for 
the  arrow. 

13  He  hath  caused  *the  farrows  of  his  quiver  to  enter 
into  mv  reins. 


But  have  seen  for  thee  'burdens  of  vanity  and  'causes  of 
banishment. 

15  All  that  pass  by.  clap  their  hands  at  thee ; 

They  hiss  and  wag  their  head  at  the  daughter  of  Je-ru'- 

sa-lem,  saying: 
Is  this  the  city  that  men  called  The  perfection  of  beauty. 

The  joy  of  the  whole  earth  ? 

16  All  thine  enemies  have  opened  their  mouth  wide  against 

thee; 
They  hiss  and  gnash  the  teeth,  they  say,  We  have  swal- 
lowed her  up; 
Certainly  this  is  the  day  that  we  looked  for;  we  have 
found,  we  have  seen  it. 
17 The  Lord  hath  done  that  which  he  devised; 

He  hath  'fulfilled  his  word  that  he  commanded  in  the 

days  of  old; 
He  hath  thrown  down,  and  hath  not  pitied : 
And  he  hath  caused  the  enemy  to  rejoice  over  thee, 
He  hath  exalted  the  horn  of  thine  adversaries. 

18  Their  heart  cried  unto  the  Lord: 

O  wall  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on,  let  tears  run  down  like 

a  river  day  and  night; 
Give  thyself  no  respite;  let  not  the  apple  of  thine  eye  cease. 

19  Arise,  cry  out  in  the  night,  at  the  beginning  of  the  watches; 
Pour  out  thine  heart  like  water  before  the  face  of  the  Lord : 
Lift  up  thy  hands  toward  him  for  the  life  of  thy  young 

children. 
That  faint  for  hunger  at  the  top  of  every  street. 
20 See,  O  Lord,  and  behold,  to  whom  thou  hast  done  thus! 
Shall  the  women  eat  their  fruit,  the  children  that  are 

dandled  in  the  hands? 
Shall  the  priest  and  the  prophet  be  slain  in  the  sanctuary 

of  the  Lord  ? 

21  The  youth  and  the  old  man  lie  on  the  ground  in  the  streets ; 
My  virgins  and  my  young  men  are  fallen  by  the  sword 
Thou   hast  slain  them  in  the  day  of  thine  anger;  thou 

hast  slaughtered,  and  not  pitied. 

22  Thou  hast  called,  as  in  the  day  of  a  solemn  assembly, 

*my  terrors  on  every  side. 
And  there  was  none  that  escaped  or  remained  in  the  day 

of  the  Lord's  anger: 
Those  that  I  have  dandled  and  brought  up  hath  mine 

enemy  consumed. 

O      I  am  the  man  that  hath  seen  affliction  by  the  rod  of 
his  wrath. 

2  He  hath  led  me  and  caused  me  to  walk  in  darkness  'and 

not  in  light. 

3  Surely  against  me  he  turneth  his  hand  again  and  again 

all  the  day. 

4  My  flesh  and  my  skin  hath  he  'made  old ;  he  hath  broken 

my  bones. 

5  He  hath  builded  against  me,  and  compassed   me  with 

^gall  and  travail. 
6*He  hath  made  me  to  dwell  in  dark  places,  as  those  that 
have  been  long  dead. 

7  He   hath  fenced  me  about,  that  I  cannot  go   forth ;  he 

hath  made  my  chain  heavy. 

8  Yea,  when  I  cry  and  call  for  help,  he  shutteth  out  my  prayer. 

9  He  hath  fenced  up  my  ways  with  hewn  stone,  he  hath 

made  my  paths  crooked. 

10  He    is   unto    me   as  a  bear  lying  in  wait,   as  a  lion   in 

secret  places. 

1 1  He  hath  turned  aside  my  ways,  and  pulled  me  in  pieces ; 

he  hath  made  me  desolate. 

12  He  hath  bent  his  bow,  and  set  me  as  a  mark  for  the  arrow. 

13  He  hath  caused  the  'shafts  of  his  quiver  to  enter  into 

my  reins.

25  The  Lord  is  good  unto  them  that  'wait  for  him,  to 
the  soul  that  seeketh  him. 

26  It  is   good   that   a  man  should  both   hope  'and

31  For  the  Lord  will  not  cast  off  for  ever. 

32  For  though  he  cause  grief,  yet  will  he  have  compassion 

according  to  the  multitude  of  his  mercies. 

33  For  he  doth  not  afflict  ^willingly,  nor  grieve  the  children 

of  men.

commandeth  it  not  ? 

38  Out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Most  High  cometh  there  not

CHAPTER   IV. 

Zion*s  pitiful  estate  bewailed;  she  confesseth  her  sins. 

HOW  is  the  gold  become  dim !  how  is  the  most  fine 
gold  changed  !  the  stones  of  the  sanctuary  are  poured 
out  °in  the  top  of  every  street. 

2  The  precious  sons  of  Zi'on,  comparable  to  fine  gold, 
how  are  they  esteemed  ''as  earthen  pitchers,  the  work  of 
the  hands  of  the  potter ! 

3  Even  the  ||  sea  monsters  draw  out  the  breast,  they 
give  suck  to  their  young  ones:  the  daughter  of  my 
people  is  become  cruel,  "like  the  ostriches  in  the 
wilderness. 

4  ''The  tongue  of  the  sucking  child  cleaveth  to  the 
roof  of  his  mouth  for  thirst :  'the  young  children  ask 
bread,  and  no  man  breaketh  it  unto  them. 

5  They  that  did  feed  delicately  are  desolate  in  the 
streets :  they  that  were  brought  up  in  scarlet  •''embrace 
dunghills. 

6  For  the  ||  punishment  of  the  iniquity  of  the  daughter 
of  my  people  is  greater  than  the  punishment  of  the  sin 
of  Sod'om,  that  was  "overthrown  as  in  a  moment,  and 
no  bands  stayed  on  her. 

7  Her  Naz'a-rites  were  purer  than  snow,  they  were 
whiter  than  milk,  they  were  more  ruddy  in  body  than 
jjbies,  their  polishing  was  of  sapphire: 

8  Their  visage  is  f'blacker  than  a  coal ;  they  are  not 
known  in  the  streets:  *their  skin  cleaveth  to  their 
bones;  it  is  withered,  it  is  become  like  a  stick. 

9  They  that  be  slain  with  the  sword  are  better  than 
they  that  be  slain  with  hunger:  for  these  fpine  away, 
stricken  through  for  want  of  the  fruits  of  the  field. 

10  *The  hands  of  the  'pitiful  women  have  sodden  their 
own  children:  they  were  their  "meat  in  the  destruction 
of  the  daughter  of  my  people. 


50  Till  the  Lord  look  down,  and  behold  from  heaven. 

51  Mine  eye  affecteth  my  soul,  because  of  all  the  daughters 

of  my  city. 

52  They  have  chased  me  sore  like  a  bird,  that    are   mine 

enemies  without  cause. 

53  They  have  cut  off  my  life  in  the  dungeon,  and  have  cast 

a  stone  upon  me. 

54  Waters  flowed  over  mine  head ;  I  said,  I  am  cut  off. 

55 1  called  upon  thy  name,  O  Lord,  out  of  the  lowest  duugeon. 
56 Thou    heardest   my    voice;    hide   not  thine  ear  at  my 
breathing,  at  my  cry. 

57  Thou  drewest  near  in  the  day  that  I  called  upon  thee : 

thou  saidst.  Fear  not. 

58  O  Lord,  thou  hast  pleaded  the  causes  of  my  soul ;  thou 

hast  redeemed  my  life. 

59  O  Lord,  thou  hast  seen  my  wrong ;  judge  thou  my  cause. 

60  Thou  hast  seen  all  their  vengeance  and  all  their  devices 

against  me. 

61  Thou  hast  heard  their  reproach,  O  Lord,  and  all  their 

devices  against  me ; 

62  The  lips  of  those  that  rose  up  against  me,  and  their  imag- 

ination against  me  all  the  day. 

63  Behold  thou  their  sitting  down,  and  their  rising  up ;  I  am 

their  song. 

64  Thou  wilt  render  unto  them  a  recompence,    O    Lord, 

according  to  the  work  of  their  hands. 

65  Thou  wilt  give  them  'hardness  of  heart,  thy  curse  unto 

them. 

66  Thou  wilt  pursue  them  in  anger,  and  destroy  them  from 

under  the  heavens  of  the  Lord. 

^  How  is  the  gold  become  dim  I  how  is  the  most  pure  gold 
changed ! 
The  stones  of  the  sanctuary  are  poured  out  at  the  top  of 
every  street. 

2  The  precious  sons  of  Zi'on,  'comparable  to  fine  gold. 
How  are  they  esteemed  as  earthen  pitchers,  the  work  of 

the  hands  of  the  potter ! 

3  Even  the  jackals  draw  out  the  breast,  they  give  suck  to 

their  young  ones : 
The  daughter  of  my  people  is  become   cruel,    like  the 
ostriches  in  the  wilderness. 

4  The  tongue  of  the  sucking  child  cleaveth  to  the  roof  of 

his  mouth  for  thirst : 
The  young  children  ask  bread,  and  no  man  breaketh  it 
unto  them. 

5  They  that  did  feed  delicately  are  desolate  in  the  streets 
They  that  were  brought  up  in  scarlet  embrace  dunghills. 

6  For  Hhe  iniquity  of  the  daughter  of  my  people  is  greater 

than  ^the  sin  of  Sod'om, 
That  was  overthrown  as  in  a  moment,  and  no  hands  'were 
laid  upon  her. 

7  Her  'nobles  were  purer  than  snow,  they  were  whiter  than 

milk. 
They  were  more  ruddy  in  body  than  Vubies,  their  polish- 
ing was  as  of  sapphire : 

8  Their  visage  is  ^blacker  than  a  coal  j  they  are  not  known 

in  the  streets ; 
Their  skin  cleaveth  to  their  bones ;  it  is  withered,  it  is 
become  like  a  stick. 

9  They  that  be  slain  with  the  sword  are  better  than  they 

that  be  slain  with  hunger; 

For  these  'pine  away,  stricken  through,  for  want  of  the 
fruits  of  the  field. 
10  The  hands  of  the  pitiful  women  have  sodden  their  own 
children ; 

They  were  their  meat  in  the  destruction  of  the  daugh- 
ter of  my  people.

11  The  LoBD  hath  accomplished  his  fiiir;  "he 
hath  poured  out  his  fierce  anger,  and  "hath  kindled 
a  fire  in  Zi'on,  and  it  hath  devoured  the  foundations 
thereof. 

12  The  kings  of  the  earth,  and  all  the  inhabitants  of

and  the  enemy  should  have  entered  into  the  gates  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13  ^''For  the  sins  of  her  prophets,  and  the  iniqui- 
ties of  her  priests,  'that  have  shed  the  blood  of  the 
just  in  the  midst  of  her, 

14  They  have  wandered  as  blind  men  in  the  streets, 
'they  have  polluted  themselves  with  blood,  ||'so  that 
men  could  not  touch  their  garments.

CHAPTER   V. 

A  pitiful  complaint  of  Zion,  in  prayer  unto  God. 

"■p  EMEMBER,  O  Lord,  what  is  come   upon   us : 
-LVi  consider,  and  behold  ""our  reproach. 

2  'Our  inheritance  is  turned  to  strangers,  our  houses 
to  aliens. 

3  We  are  orphans  and  &therlcss,  our  mothers  are  aa 
widows. 

4  We  have  drunken  our  water  for  money  ;  our  wood 
fis  sold  unto  us. 

5  ''fOur  necks  are  under  persecution  :  we  labour, 
and  have  no  rest. 

6  'We  have  given  the  hand  ^to  the  E-gyp'tians,  and  to 
the  As-syr'i-ans,  to  be  satisfied  with  bread. 

7  'Our  fathers  have  sinned,  and  ''are  not ;  and  we 
have  borne  their  iniquities. 

8  'Servants  have  ruled  over  us:  there  is  none  that 
doth  deliver  us  out  of  their  hand. 

9  We  gat  our  bread  with  the  peril  of  our  lives,  be- 
cause of  the  sword  of  the  wilderness. 

10  Our  *8kin  was  black  like  an  oven  because  of  the 
II  terrible  famine. 

11  'They  ravished  the  women  in  Zi'on,  and  the  maids 
in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

12  Princes  are  hanged  up  by  their  hand:  "the  feces 
of  elders  were  not  honoured. 


1 1  The  Lord  hath  accomplished  his  fury,  he  hath  poured 

out  his  fierce  anger ; 
And  he  hath  kindled  a  fire  in  Zi'on,  which  hath  devoured 
the  foundations  thereof. 

12  The  kings  of  the  earth  believed  not,  neither  all  the  in 

habitants  of  the  world, 
That  the  adversary  and  the  enemy  should  enter  into  the 
gates  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13  It  is  because  of  the  sins  of  her  prophets,  and  the  in- 

iquities of  her  priests. 
That    have  shed  the  blood  of  the  just  in  the  midst  of 
her. 

14  They    wander  as  blind   men    in    the    streets,    they    are 

polluted  with  blood. 
So  that  men  can  not  touch  their  garments. 

15  Depart  ye,  they  cried  unto  them.  Unclean !  depart,  de 

part,  touch  not : 
'When  they  fled  away  and  wandered,  men  oaid  among 
the  nations.  They  shall  no  more  sojourn  here. 

16  The  'anger  of  the  Lord  hath  divided  them ;  he  will  no 

more  regard  them: 
They    respected    not    the    persons  of  the   priests,  they 
favoured  not  the  elders. 

17  Our  eyes  do  yet  fail  in  looking  for  our  vain  help : 
In  our  watching  we  have  watched  for  a  nation  that  could 

not  save. 
18 They  hunt  our  steps,  that  we  can  not  go  in  our  streets: 
Our  end  is  near,  our  days  are  fulfilled ;  for  our  end  is  come. 

19  Our  pursuers  were  swifter  than  the  eagles  of  the  heaven: 
They  chased  us  upon  the  mountains,  they  laid  wait  for  us 

in  the  wilderness. 

20  The  breath  of  our  nostrils,  the  anointed  of  the  Lord, 

was  taken  in  their  pits; 
Of  whom  we  said.  Under  his  shadow  we  shall  live  among 
the  nations. 

21  Rejoice  and  be  glad,  O  daughter  of  E'dom,  that  dwellest 

in  the  land  of  Uz  : 
The  cup  shall  pass  through  unto  thee   also ;  thou   shalt 

be  drunken,  and  shalt  make  thyself  naked. 
22 'The  punishment  of  thine   iniquity  is  accomplisned,  O 

daughter  of  Zi'on ; 
He  will  no  more  carry  thee  away  into  captivity : 
He  will  visit  thine  iniquity,  O  daughter  of  E'dom; 
He  will  discover  thy  sins. 

O  Remember,  O  Lord,  what  is  come  upon  us  s 
Behold,  and  see  our  reproach. 

2  Our  inheritance  is  turned  unto  strangers. 
Our  houses  unto  aliens. 

3  We  are  orphans  and  fatherless, 
Our  mothers  are  as  widows. 

4  We  have  drunken  our  water  for  money ; 
Our  wood  Ms  sold  unto  us. 

5 Our  pursuers  are  upon  our  necks: 
We  are  weary,  and  have  no  rest. 

6  We  have  given  the  hand  to  the  E-gyp'tians, 
And  to  the  As-syr'i-ans,  to  be  satisfied  with  bread. 

7  Our  fathers  have  sinned,  and  are  not ; 
And  we  have  borne  their  iniquities. 

8  Servants  rule  over  us  : 

There  is  none  to  deliver  us  out  of  their  hand. 

9  We  get  our  bread  with  the  peril  of  our  lives 
Because  of  the  sword  of  the  wilderness. 

10  Our  skin  is  "black  like  an  oven 
Because  of  the  burning  heat  of  famine. 

1 1  They  ravished  the  women  in  Zi'on, 
The  maidens  in  the  cities  of  Ju'dah. 

12 Princes  were  hanged  up  by  their  hand: 
The  faces  of  elders  were  not  honoured.

CHAPTER    I 

The  time  of  EtekieTs  prophecy  at  Cheiat — ffis  vision. 

"VTOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  thirtieth  year,  in  the  fourth 
IM  month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the  month,  as  I  was  among 
the  fcaptives  °by  the  river  of  Che'bar,  that  'the  heavens 
were  opened,  and  I  saw  "visions  of  God. 

2  In  the  fifth  day  of  the  month  which  was  the  fifth  year 
of  ''king  Je-hoi'a-chin's  captivity, 

3  The  word  of  the  Lord  came  expressly  unto  fE-ze'ki-el  the 
priest,  the  son  of  Bu'zi,  in  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans  by  the 
river  Che'bar;  and  'the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  there  upon  him. 

4  ^And  I  looked,  and,  behold,  -^a  whirlwind  came  "out  of 
the  north,  a  great  cloud,  and  a  fire  finfolding  itself,  and  a 
brightness  was  about  it,  and  out  of  the  midst  thereof  as  the 
colour  of  amber,  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire. 

5  'Also  out  of  the  midst  thereof  came  the  likeness  of  four 
living  creatures.  And  'this  was  their  appearance;  they 
had  *the  likeness  of  a  man. 

6  And  every  one  had  four  faces,and  everj'  one  had  four  wings. 

7  And  their  feet  tvere  fstraight  feet;  and  the  sole  of  their 
feet  was  like  the  sole  of  a  calf  s  foot ;  and  they  sparkled 
'like  the  colour  of  burnished  brass. 

8  "And  they  had  the  hands  of  a  man  under  their  wings  on 
their  four  sides;  and  they  four  had  their  faces  and  their  wings. 

9  "Their  wings  were  joined  one  to  another ;  "they  turned 
not  when  they  went;  they  went  every  one  straight  forward. 

10  As  for  "the  likeness  of  their  faces,  they  four  «had  the 
face  of  a  man  'and  the  face  of  a  lion  on  the  right  side: 
'and  they  four  had  the  face  of  an  ox  on  the  left  side ;  'they 
four  also  had  the  face  of  an  eagle. 

11  Thus  were  their  faces:  and  their  wings  were  || stretched 
upward;  two  wings  of  every  one  were  joined  one  to  another, 
and  "two  covered  their  bodies. 

12  And  'they  went  every  one  straight  forward ;  "whither  the 
spirit  was  to  go,they  went;  andHhey  turned  not  when  they  went. 

13  As  for  the  likeness  of  the  living  creatures,  their  appear- 
ance was  like  burning  coals  of  fire,  "and  like  the  appearance  of 
lamps :  it  went  up  and  down  among  the  living  creatures ;  and 
the  fire  was  bright,  and  out  of  the  fire  went  forth  lightning. 

14  And  the  living  creatures  ""ran  and  returned  "as  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  flash  of  lightning.

■»-  Now  it  came  to  pass  in  the  thirtieth  year,  in  the 
fourth  month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the  month,  as  I  was 
among  the  ^captives  by  the  river  Che'bar,  that  the 

2  heavens  were  opened,  and  I  saw  visions  of  God.  In 
the  fifth  day  of  the  month,  which  was  the  fifth  year 

3  of  king  Je-hoi'a-chin's  captivity,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  expressly  unto  E-ze'ki-el  the  priest,  the  son  of 
Bu'zi,  in  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans  by  the  river  Che'- 
bar; and  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  there  upon  him. 

4  And  I  looked,  and,  behold,  a  stormy  wind  came  out  of 
the  north,a  great  cloud,  with  a  fire  'infolding  itself,  and 
a  brightness  round  about  it,  and  out  of  the  midst 
thereof  ^as  the  colour  of 'amber,  out  of  the  midst  of  the 

5  fire.  And  out  of  the  midst  thereof  came  the  likeness  of 
four  living  creatures.  And  this  was  their  appearance ; 

6  they  had  the  likeness  of  a  man.     And  every  one  had 

7  four  faces,  and  every  one  of  them  had  four  wings.  And 
their  feet  were  straight  feet ;  and  the  sole  of  their  feet 
was  like  the  sole  of  a  calf's  foot;  and  they  sparkled 

8  like  the  colour  of  burnished  brass.  And  they  had 
the  hands  of  a  man  under  their  wings  on  their  four 
sides :  and  they  four  had  their  faces  and  their  M'ings 

9 thus;  their  wings  were  joined  one  to  another;  they 
turned  not  when  they  went;  they   went  every  one 

10  straight  forward.  As  for  the  likeness  of  their  faces, 
they  had  the  face  of  a  man ;  and  they  four  had 
the  face  of  a  lion  on  the  right  side ;  and  they  four 
had  the  face  of  an  ox  on  the  left  side ;  they  four  had 

1 1  also  the  face  of  an  eagle.  *And  their  faces  and  their 
wings  were  separate  above ;  two  wings  of  every  one 
were  joined  one  to  another,  and  two  covered  their 

1 2  bodies.  And  they  went  every  one  straight  forward : 
whither   the   spirit   was    to    go,    they    went;    they 

13  turned  not  when  they  went.  'As  for  the  likeness  of 
the  living  creatures,  their  appearance  was  like  burn- 
ing coals  of  fire,  like  the  appearance  of  torches ;  it 
went  up  and  down  among  the  living  creatures: 
and  the  fire  was  bright,   and   out  of  the  fire  went 

14  forth  lightning.  Aud  the  living  creatures  ran  and 
returned  as  the  appearance  of  a  flash  of  lightning.

15  ^[Now  as  I  beheld  the  living  creatnies,  behoid  "one  wheel 
upon  the  earth  by  the  living  creatures,  with  his  four  faces. 

16  'The  appearance  of  tlie  wheels  and  their  work  was 
•^like  unto  the  colour  of  a  beryl :  and  they  four  had  one  like- 
ness :  and  their  appearance  and  their  work  was  as  it  were  a 
wheel  in  the  middle  of  a  wheel. 

17  When  they  went,  they  went  upon  their  four  sides: 
'and  they  turned  not  when  they  went. 

18  As  for  their  rings,  they  were  so  high  that  they  were 
dreadful ;  and  their  ||  rings  were  'full  of  eyes  round  about 
them  four. 

19  And  'when  the  living  creatures  went,  the  wheels  went 
by  them :  and  when  the  living  creatures  were  lifted  up 
from  the  earth,  the  wheels  were  lifted  up, 

20  *Whithersoever  the  spirit  was  to  go,  they  went,  thither 
was  their  spirit  to  go ;  and  the  wheels  were  lifted  up  over 
against  thems:  'for  the  spirit  |]  of  the  living  creature  was  in 
the  wheels. 

21  "When  those  went,  these  went;  and  when  those  stood, 
these  stood;  and  when  those  were  lifted  up  from  the  earth, 
the  wheels  were  lifted  up  over  against  them :  for  the  spirit 
II  of  the  living  creature  was  in  the  wheels. 

22  "And  the  likeness  of  the  firmament  upon  the  heads  of 
the  living  creature  was  as  the  colour  of  the  terrible  crystal, 
stretched  forth  over  their  heads  above. 

23  And  under  the  firmament  were  their  wings  straight, 
the  one  toward  the  other:  every  one  had  two,  which 
covered  on  this  side,  and  every  one  had  two,  which  covered 
on  that  side,  their  bodies. 

24  "And  when  they  went,  I  heard  the  noise  of  their  wings, 
"like  the  noise  of  great  waters,  as  «the  voice  of  the 
Almighty,  the  voice  of  speech,  as  the  noise  of  a  host: 
when  they  stood,  they  let  down  their  wings. 

25  And  there  was  a  voice  from  the  firmament  that  was 
over  their  heads,  when  they  stood,  and  had  let  down  their 
wings. 

26  Y'And  above  the  firmament  that  was  over  their  heads 
was  the  likeness  of  a  throne, 'as  the  appearance  of  a  sap- 

f)hire   stone:   and   upon  the  likeness  of  the  throne  was  the 
ikeness  as  the  appearance  of  a  man  above  upon  it, 

27  'And  I  saw  as  the  colour  of  amber,  as  the  appearance  of 
fire  round  about  within  it,  from  the  appearance  of  his  loins 
even  upward,  and  from  the  appearance  of  his  loins  even 
downward,  I  saw  as  it  were  the  appearance  of  fire,  and  it 
had  brightness  round  about. 

28  "As  the  appearance  of  the  bow  that  is  in  the  cloud  in 
the  day  of  rain,  so  toas  the  appearance  of  the  brightness 
round  about.  ""This  ttxis  the  appearance  of  the  likeness  of 
the  glory  of  the  Lord.  And  when  I  saw  it,  "I  fell  upon  my 
fkccj  and  I  heard  a  voice  of  one  that  spake. 

CHAF'TER  II. 

Ezekigts  commission  ;   his  instruction  ;  his  prophecy. 

AND  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  "stand  upon  thy  feet, 
and  I  will  speak  unto  thee. 

2  And  'the  spirit  entered  into  me  when  he  spake  unto  me, 
and  set  me  upon  my  feet,  that  I  heard  bim  that  spake  unto  me. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  I  send  thee  to  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  to  a  rebellious  fnation  that  hath  rebelled 
against  me:  "^hey  and  their  fathers  have  transgressed 
against  me,  even  unto  this  very  day. 

4  ''For  they  are  f  impudent  children  and  stiffhearted.  I  do 
send  thee  unto  them ;  and  thou  shalt  say  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  Gob. 

5  'And  they,  whether  they  will  hear,  or  whether  they  will 
forbear,  (for  they  are  a  rebellious  house,)  yet  •'shall  know 
that  there  hath  been  a  prophet  among  them. 

6  ^And  thou,  son  of  man,  'be  not  afraid  of  them,  neither 
be  afraid  of  their  words,  though  ||*brier8  and  thorns  be  with 
thee>  and  thou  dost  dwell  among  scorpions :  'be  not  afraid 


15  Now  as  I  beheld  the  living  creatures,  behold  one  wheel 
upon  the  earth  beside  the  living  creatures,  for  each  of 

16  the  four  faces  thereof.  The  appearance  of  the  wheels 
and  their  work  was,  like  unto  the  colour  of  a  beryl ; 
and  they  four  had  one  likeness;  and  their  appear- 
ance and  their  work  was  as  it  were  a  wheel  'within 

17  a  wheel.     When   they  went,  they  went  upon  their 
18 four  sides:    they  turned  not  when  they  went.     As 

for  their  ^rings,  they  were  high  and  dreadful ;    and 
they  four  had  their  rings  full  of  eyes  round  about. 

19  And  when  the  living  creatures  went,  the  wheels 
went  beside  them  :  and  when  the  living  creatures 
were  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  the  wheels  were  lifted 

20  up.  Whithersoever  the  spirit  was  to  go,  they 
went;  thither  was  the  spirit  to  go:  and  the 
wheels  were  lifted  up  'beside  them ;  for  the  spirit 
*of    the     living     creature     was     in     the     wheels. 

2! When  those  went,  these  went;  and  when  those 
stood,  these  stood;  and  when  those  were  lifted  up 
from  the  earth,  the  wheels  were  lifted  up  'beside 
them :    for  the  spirit  *of  the  living  creature  was  in 

22  the  wheels.  And  over  the  head  of  the  living  crea- 
ture there  was  the  likeness  of  a  firmament,  like  the 
colour  of  the  terrible  'crystal,  stretched  forth  ever 

23  their  heads  above.  And  under  the  firmament  were 
their  wings  straight,  the  one  toward  the  other : 
every  one  had  two  which  covered  "on  this  side,  and 
every  one  had  two  which  covered  "on  that  side,  their 

24  bodies.  And  when  they  went,  I  heard  the  noise  of 
their  wings  like  the  noise  of  great  waters,  like  the 
voice  of  the  Almighty,  a  noise  of  tumult  like  the 
noise    of    an    host:     when    they    stood,     they    let 

25  down  their  wings.  And  there  was  a  voice  above 
the    firmament    that   was   over   their  heads:    when 

26  they  stood,  they  let  down  their  wings.  And  above 
the  firmament  that  was  over  their  heads  was  the 
likeness  of  a  throne,  as  the  appearance  of  a  sapphire 
stone:  and  upon  the  likeness  of  the  throne  was  a 
likeness  as  the  appearance  of  a  man  upon  it  above. 

27  And  I  saw  as  the  colour  of  'amber,  as  the  appearance 
of  fire  within  it  round  about,  from  the  appearance 
of  his  loins  and  upward;  and  from  the  appearance 
of  his  loins  and  downward  I  saw  as  it  were  the 
appearance  of  fire,  and  there  was  brightness  round 

28  about  *him.  As  the  appearance  of  the  bow  that  is 
in  the  cloud  in  the  day  of  rain,  so  was  the  appear- 
ance of  the  brightness  round  about.  This  was  the 
appearance  of  the  likeness  of  the  glory  of  the 
Lord.  And  when  I  saw  it,  I  fell  upon  my  face, 
and  I  heard  a  voice  of  one  that  spake. 

^      And  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  stand  upon 

2 thy  feet,  and  I  will  speak  with  thee.     And  the  spirit 

entered  into  me  when  he  spake  unto  me,  and  set  me 

upon  my  feet;   and  I  heard  him  that  spake  unto  me. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  I  send  thee  to 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  to  nations  that  are  rebellious, 
which  have  rebelled  against  me:  they  and  their 
fathers  have  transgressed  against  me,  even  unto  this 

4  very  day.  And  the  children  are  impudent  and 
stiifhearted ;  'I  do  send  thee  unto  them:  and 
thou    shalt    say    unto    them.   Thus   saith   the   Lord 

5  God.  And  they,  whether  they  will  hear,  or 
whether  they  will  forbear,  (for  they  are  a  rebell- 
ious house,)  yet  shall  know  that  there  hath  been  a 

6  prophet  among  them.  And  thou,  son  of  man,  be 
not  afraid  of  them,  neither  be  afraid  of  their 
words^  though  briers  and  thorns  be  with  thee,  and 
thou    dost  dwell   among  scorpions:    be  not  afraid

7  'And  thou  shalt  speak  my  words  unto  them,  "whether 
they  "will  hear,  or  whether  they  will  forbear:  for  they  are 
frnost  rebellious. 

8  But  thou,  son  of  man,  hear  what  I  say  unto  thee;  Be 
not  thou  rebellious  like  that  rebellious  house:  open  thy 
mouth,  and  "eat  that  I  give  thee. 

9  ^And  when  I  looked,  behold,  °a  hand  was  sent  unto 
me;  and,  lo,  "s.  roll  of  a  book  was  therein; 

10  And  lie  spread  it  before  me:  and  it  was  written  within 
and  without:  and  there  was  written  therein  lamentations, 
and  mourning,  and  woe. 

CHAPTER  III. 

Ezekiel  eateih  the  roll—God  encourageth  him. 

MOREOVER  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  eat  that  thou 
iindest;  "eat  this  roll,  and  go  speak  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  So  I  opened  my  mouth,  and  he  caused  me  to  eat  that  roll. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  cause  thy  belly  to 
eat,  and  fill  thy  bowels  with  this  roll  that  I  give  thee.  Then 
did  I  *eat  it;  and  it  was  in  my  mouth  'as  honey  for  sweetness. 

4  XAnd  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  go,  get  thee  unto 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  speak  with  my  words  unto  them. 

5  For  thou  art  not  sent  to  a  people  fof  a  strange  speech 
and  of  a  hard  language,  but  to  the  house  of  Is'ra-el ; 

6  Not  to  many  people  fof  a  strange  speech  and  of  a  hard 
language,  whose  words  thou  canst  not  understand.  ||  Surely, 
''had  I  sent  thee  to  them,  they  would  have  hearkened  unto  thee. 

7  But  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  will  not  hearken  unto  thee ;  'for 
they  will  not  hearken  unto  me :  -^for  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
are  fimpudent  and  hardhearted. 

8  Behold,  I  have  made  thy  face  strong  against  their  faces, 
and  thy  forehead  strong  against  their  foreheads. 

9  "As  an  adamant  harder  than  flint  have  I  made  thy  fore- 
head: 'fear  them  not,  neither  be  dismayed  at  their  looks, 
though  they  be  a  rebellious  house. 

10  Moreover  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  all  my  words 
that  I  shall  speak  unto  thee  receive  in  thine  heart,  and  hear 
with  thine  ears. 

11  And  go,  get  thee  to  them  of  the  captivity,  unto  the 
children  of  thy  people,  and  speak  unto  them,  and  tell  them, 
•Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  whether  they  will  hear,  or 
whether  they  will  forbear. 

12  Then  the  ^spirit  took  me  up,  and  I  heard  behind  me  a 
voice  of  a  great  rushing,  saying,  Blessed  be  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  from  his  place. 

13  I  heard  also  the  noise  of  the  wings  of  the  living  crea- 
tures that  ftouched  one  another,  and  the  noise  of  the  wheels 
over  against  them,  and  a  noise  of  a  great  rushing. 

14  So  'the  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and  took  me  away,  and  I 
went  fin  bitterness,  in  the  \he3.t  of  my  spirit;  out  "the 
hand  of  the  Lord  was  strong  upon  me. 

15  ^Then  I  came  to  them  of  the  captivity  at  Tel'a-bib, 
that  dwelt  by  the  river  of  Che'bar,  and  "I  sat  where  they  sat, 
and  remained  there  astonished  among  them  seven  days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  seven  days,  that  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

17  "Son  of  man,  I  have  made  thee  ''a  watchman  unto  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el :  therefore  hear  the  word  at  my  mouth,  and 
give  them  warning  from  me. 

18  When  I  say  unto  the  wicked.  Thou  shalt  surely  die; 
and  thou  givest  him  not  warning,  nor  speakest  to  warn  the 
wicked  from  his  wicked  way,  to  save  his  life;  the  same 
wicked  vian  'shall  die  in  his  iniquity;  but  his  blood  will  I 
require  at  thine  hand. 

19  Yet  if  thou  warn  the  wicked,  and  he  turn  not  from  his 
wickedness,  nor  from  his  wicked  way,  he  shall  die  in  his 
iniquity ;  ''but  thou  hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

20  Again,   AVhen    a  'righteous   man  doth    turn  from    his 


of  their   words,   nor  be  dismayed  at  their,  looks, 

7  though  they  be  a-  rebellious  house.  And  thoa  shalt 
speak  my  words  unto  them,  whether  they  will  hear 
or  whether  they  will  forbear :  for  they  are  most  rebell 

8  ious.  But  thou,  son  of  man,  hear  what  I  say  unto 
thee ;  be  not  thou  rebellious  like  that  rebellious  house : 

9  open  thy  mouth,  and  eat  that  I  give  thee.  And 
when  I  looked,  behold,  an  hand  was  put  forth  unto 

10 me;  and,  lo,  a  roll  of  a  book  was  therein;  and  he 
spread  it  before  me;  and  it  was  written  within  and 
without:  and  there  was  written  therein   lamenta- 

Otions,  and  mourning,  and  woe.  And  be  said  unto 
me.  Son  of  man,  eat  that  thou  findest ;  eat  this  roll, 

2  and  go,  speak  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el.  So  I 
opened  my  mouth,  and  he  caused  me  to  eat  the  roll. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  cause  thy  belly 
to  eat,  and  fill  thy  bowels  with  this  roll  that  I  give 
thee.  Then  did  I  eat  it;  and  it  was  in  my  mouth 
as  honey  for  sweetness. 

4  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  go,  get  thee 
unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  speak  with  my  words 

5  unto  them.  For  thou  art  not  sent  to  a  people^  'of  a 
strange  speech  and  of  an  hard  language,  but  to  the 

6 house  of  Is'ra-el;  not  to  many  peoples  of  a  strange 
speech  and  of  an  hard  language,  whose  words  thou 
canst  not  understand.     Surely,  if  I  sent  thee  to  them, 

7  they  would  hearken  unto  thee.  But  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  will  not  hearken  unto  thee ;  for  they  will  not 
hearken  unto  me:  for  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
are    of   an    hard    forehead    and    of   a    stiff   heart. 

8  Behold,  I  have  made  thy  face  hard  against  their 
faces,  and  thy  forehead  hard  against  their  foreheads, 

9  As  an  adamant  harder  than  flint  have  I  made  thy 
forehead :  fear  them  not,  neither  be  dismayed  at  their 

10  looks,  though  they  be  a  rebellious  house.  Moreover 
he  said  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  all  my  words  that  I 
shall  speak  unto  thee  receive  in  thine  heart,  and  hear 

1 1  with  thine  ears.  And  go,  get  thee  to  them  of  the 
captivity,  unto  the  children  of  thy  people,  and  speak 
unto  them,  and  tell  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
whether  they  will  hear,  or  whether  they  will  forbear. 

12  Then  the  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and  I  heard  behind 
me  the  voice  of  a  great  rushing,  saying,  Blessed  be 

13  the  glory  of  the  Lord  from  his  place.  And  I  heard 
the  noise  of  the  wings  of  the  living  creatures  as  they 
touched  one  another,  and  the  noise  of  the  wheels 

14  ^beside  them,  even  the  noise  of  a  great  rushing.  So 
the  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and  took  me  away :  and  I 
went  in  bitterness,  in  the  heat  of  my  spirit,  and  the 

15  hand  of  the  Lord  was  strong  upon  me.  Then  I  came 
to  them  of  the  captivity  at  TelVbib,  that  Mwelt  by 
the  river  Che'bar,  %nd  to  where  they  'dwelt ;  and  I 
sat  there  astonied  among  them  seven  days. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end  of  seven  days,  that 

17  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying.  Son 
of  man,  I  have  made  thee  a  watchman  unto  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el:   therefore  hear  the  word  at  my 

18  mouth,  and  give  them  warning  from  me.  When  I 
say  unto  the  wicked.  Thou  shalt  surely  die ;  and  thou 
givest  him  not  warning,  nor  speakest  to  warn  the 
wicked  from  his  wicked  way,  to  save  his  life;  the 
same   wicked    man    shall   die   in    his  iniquity;    but 

19  his  blood  will  I  require  at  thine  hand.  Yet  if 
thou  warn  the  wicked,  and  he  turn  not  from  his 
wickedness,  nor  from  his  wicked  way,  he  shall  die  ia 
his    iniquity;    but    thou    hast   delivered    thy    soul.

which  he  hath  done  shall  not  be  remembered ;  but  his  blood 
will  I  require  at  thine  hand. 

21  Nevertheless,  if  thou  warn  the  righteous  man,  that  the

because  he  is  warned ;  also  thou  bast  delivered  thy  soul. 

22  ^'And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  there  upon  me ;  and 
he  said  unto  me,  Arise,  go  forth  "into  the  plain,  and  I  will 
there  talk  with  thee. 

23  Then  I  arose,  and  went  forth  into  the  plain :  and,  be- 
hold, '^he  glory  of  the  Lord  stood  there,  as  the  glory  which 

I  "saw  by  the  river  of  Che'bar :  'and  I  fell  on  my  face. 

24  Then  "the  spirit  entered  into  me,  and  set  me  upon  my 
feet,  and  spake  with  me,  and  said  unto  me.  Go,  shut  thyself 
within  thine  house. 

25  But  thou,  O  son  of  man,  behold,  Hhey  shall  put  bands 
upon  thee,  and  shall  bind  thee  with  them,  and  thou  shalt  not 
go  out  among  them: 

26  And  "^I  will  make  thy  tongue  cleave  to  the  roof  of  thy 
mouth,  that  thou  shalt  be  dumb,  and  shalt  not  be  to  them

He  that  heareth,  let  him  hear ;  and  he  that  forbeareth,  let 
him  forbear :  "for  they  are  a  rebellious  house. 

CHAPTER    IV. 

By  the  provision  of  the  siege  is  shewed  the  hardness  of  the /amine, 

THOU  also,  son  of  man,  take  thee  a  tile,  and  lay  it  before 
thee,  and  portray  upon  it  the  city,  even  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 

2  And  lay  siege  against  it,  and  build  a  fort  against  it,  and 
cast  a  mount  against  it ;  set  the  camp  also  against  it,  and  set 

II  battering  rams  against  it  round  about. 

3  Moreover  take  thou  unto  thee  ||  an  iron  pan,  and  set  it 
for  a  wall  of  iron  between  thee  and  the  city :  and  set  thy 
face  against  it,  and  it  shall  be  besieged,  and  thou  shalt  lay 
siege  against  it.  "This  shall  be  a  sign  to  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  Lie  thou  also  upon  thy  left  side,  and  lay  the  iniquity  of 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el  upon  it:  according  to  the  number  of  the 
days  that  thou  shalt  lie  upon  it  thou  shalt  bear  their  iniquity. 

5  For  I  have  laid  upon  thee  the  years  of  their  iniquity, 
according  to  the  number  of  the  days,  three  hundred  and 
ninety  days :  'so  shalt  thou  bear  the  iniquity  of  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el. 

6  And  when  thou  hast  accomplished  them,  lie  again  on  thy 
right  side,  and  thou  shalt  bear  the  iniquity  of  the  house  of 
Ju'dah  forty  days :  I  have  appointed  theefeaeh  day  for  a  year. 

7  Therefore  thou  shalt  set  thy  face  toward  the  siege  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  thine  arm  shall  be  uncovered,  and  thou  shalt 
prophesy  against  it. 

8  'And,  behold,  I  will  lay  bands  upon  thee,  and  thou  shalt 
not  turn  thee  ffrom  one  side  to  anotner,  till  thou  hast  ended 
the  days  of  thy  siege. 

9  %Take  thou  also  unto  thee  wheat,  and  barley,  and  beans, 
and  lentiles,  and  millet,  and  ||  fitches,  and  put  them  in  one 
vessel,  and  make  thee  bread  thereof,  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  the  days  that  thou  shalt  lie  upon  thy  side;  three 
hundred  and  ninety  days  shalt  thou  eat  thereof 

10  And  thy  meat  which  thou  shalt  eat  shall  be  by  weight, 
twenty  shekels  a  day :  from  time  to  time  shalt  thou  eat  it. 

11  Thou  shalt  drink  also  water  by  measure,  the  sixth  part 
of  a  bin :  from  time  to  time  shalt  thou  drink. 

12  And  thou  shalt  eat  it  a«  barley  cakes,  and  thou  shalt 
bake  it  with  dung  that  cometh  out  of  man,  in  their  sight. 

13  And  the  Lord  .said,  Even  thus  ''shall  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  eat  their  defiled  bread  among  the  Gentiles  whither  I 
will  drive  them. 

14  Then  said  I,  'Ah  Ix)rd  God!  behold,   my  soul   hath 


righteousness,  and  commit  iniquity,  and  I  lay  a 
stumblingblock  before  him,  he  shall  die:  because 
thou  hast  not  given  him  warning,  he  shall  die  in  his 
sin,  and  his  righteous  deeds  which  he  hath  done 
shall  not  be  remembered ;  but  his  blood  will   I  re- 

21  quire  at  thine  hand.  Nevertheless  if  thou  warn  the 
righteous  man,  that  the  righteous  sin  not,  and  he 
doth  not  sin,  he  shall  surely  live,  because  he  took 
warning ;  and  thou  hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

22  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  there  upon  me ; 
and  he  said  unto  me,  Arise,  go  forth  into  the  'plain, 

23  and  I  will  there  talk  with  thee.  Then  I  arose,  and 
went  forth  into  the  'plain :  and,  behold,  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  stood  there,  as  the  glory  which  I  saw  by 

24 the  river  Che'bar:  and  I  fell  on  my  face.  Then  the 
spirit  entered  into  me,  and  set  me  upon  my  feet ;  and 
he  spake  with  me,  and  said  unto  me.  Go,  shut  thyself 

25  within  thine  house.  But  thou,  son  of  man,  behold, 
they  shall  lay  bands  upon  thee,  and  shall  bind  thee 
with  them,  and  thou  shalt  not  go  out  among  them : 

26  and  I  will  make  thy  tongue  cleave  to  the  roof  of  thy 
mouth,  that  thou  shalt  be  dumb,  and  shalt  not  be  to 
them  a  reprover:    for  they  are  a  rebellious  ■  house. 

27  But  when  I  speak  with  thee,  I  will  open  thy  mouth,  and 
thou  shalt  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  : 
He  that  heareth,  let  him  hear ;  and  he  that  forbear- 
eth, let  him  forbear :   for  they  are  a  rebellious  house. 

^  Thou  also,  son  of  man,  take  thee  a  tile,  and  lay  it 
before  thee,  and  pourtray  upon  it  a  city,  even  Je-ru'- 

2sa-lem:  and  lay  siege  against  it,  and  build  forts 
against  it,  and  cast  up  a  mount  against  it;  set 
camps   also    against  it,    and    plant    battering    rams 

3  against  it  round  about.  And  take  thou  unto  thee 
an  iron  ^pan,  and  set  it  for  a  wall  of  iron  between 
thee  arid  the  city  :  and  set  thy  face  toward  it,  and  it 
shall  be  besieged,  and  thou  shalt  lay  siege  against 
it.     This  shall  be  a  sign  to  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  Moreover  lie  thou  upon  thy  left  side,  and  lay  the 
iniquity  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  upon  it:  according 
to  the  number  of  the  days  that  thou  shalt  lie  upon 

5  it,  thou  shalt  bear  their  iniquity.  For  I  have 
appointed  the  years  of  their  iniquity  to  be  unto  thee 
a  number  of  days,  even  three  hundred  and  ninety 
days:  so  shalt  thou  bear  the   iniquity  of  the  house 

6  of  Is'ra-el.  And  again,  when  thou  hast  accomplished 
these,  thou  shalt  lie  on  thy  right  side,  and  shalt  bear 
the  iniquity  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah :  forty  days,  each 

7  day  for  a  year,  have  I  appointed  it  unto  thee.  And 
thou  shalt  set  thy  face  toward  the  siege  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, with  thine  arm  uncovered ;  and  thou  shalt 

8  prophesy  against  it.  And,  behold,  I  lay  bands  upon 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  not  turn  thee  from  one  side  to 
another,  till  thou  hast  accomplished  the  days  of  thy 

9  siege.  Take  thou  also  unto  thee  wheat,  and  barley, 
and  beans,  and  lentils,  and  millet,  and  spelt,  and  put 
them  in  one  vessel,  and  make  thee  bread  thereof; 
according  to  the  number  of  the  days  that  thou  shalt 
lie  upon  thy  side,  even  three  hundred  and  ninety  days, 

10  shalt  thou  eat  thereof.  And  thy  meat  which  thou 
shalt  eat  shall  be  by  weight,  twenty   shekels  a  day : 

11  from  time  to  time  shalt  thou  eat  it.  And  thou  shalt 
drink  water  by  measure,  the  sixth  part  of  an  hin :  from 

12  time  to  time  shalt  thou  drink.  And  thou  shalt  eat  it  as 
barley  cakes,  and  thou  shalt  bake  it  in  their  sight  with 

13  dung  that  cometh  out  of  man.  And  the  Lord  said. 
Even  thus  shall  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  eat  their  bread 
unclean,  among  the  nations  whither  I  will  drive  them. 

14 Then  said  I,  Ah  Lord  God!  behold,  my  soul  hath

bread  by  weight,  and  with  care;  and  they  shall  *driuk

17  That  they  may  want  bread  and  water,  and  be  astonied

CHAPTER   V. 

The  judgment  of  Jerusalem  /or  their  rebellion, 

AND  thou,  son  of  man,  take  thee  a  sharp  knife,  take  thee 
a  barber's  razor,  "and  cause  it  to  pass  upon  thine  head 
and  upon  thy  beard :  then  take  thee  balances  to  weigh,  and 
divide  the  hair. 

2  ""Thou  shalt  burn  with  fire  a  third  part  in  the  midst  of 
'the  city,  when  ''the  days  of  the  siege  are  fulfilled  :  and  thou 
shalt  take  a  third  part,  and  smite  about  it  with  a  knife :  and 
a  third  part  thou  shalt  scatter  in  the  wind ;  and  I  will  draw 
out  a  sword  after  them. 

3  'Thou  shalt  also  take  thereof  a  few  in  number,  and  bind 
them  in  thy  fskirts. 

4  Then  take  of  them  again,  and  '^cast  them  into  the  midst 
of  the  fire,  and  burn  them  in  the  fire :  for  thereof  shall  a  fire 
come  forth  into  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  1[Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  This  is  Je-ru'sa-lem  ;  I  have 
it  set  in  the  midst  of  the  nations  and  countries  thxit  are 
round  about  her. 

6  And  she  hath  changed  my  judgments  into  wickedness 
more  than  the  nations,  and  my  statutes  more  than  the  coun- 
tries that  are  round  about  her :  for  they  have  refused  my 
judgments  and  my  statutes,  they  have  not  walked  in  them. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Because  ye  multi- 
plied more  than  the  nations  that  are  round  about  you,  and 
nave  not  walked  in  my  statutes,  neither  have  kept  my 
judgments,  "neither  have  done  according  to  the  judgments 
of  the  nations  that  are  round  about  you ; 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I,  even  I, 
am  against  thee,  and  will  execute  judgments  in  the  midst 
of  thee  in  the  sight  of  the  nations. 

9  'And  I  will  do  in  thee  that  which  I  have  not  done,  and 
whereunto  I  will  not  do  any  more  the  like,  because  of  all 
thine  abominations. 

10  Therefore  the  fathers  'shall  eat  the  sons  in  the  midst  of 
thee,  and  the  sons  shall  eat  their  fathers ;  and  I  will  exe- 
cute judgments  in  thee,  and  the  whole  remnant  of  thee  will 
I  *scatter  into  all  the  winds. 

11  Wherefore,  as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God;  Surely,  be- 
cause thou  hast  'defiled  my  sanctuary  with  all  thy  "detest- 
able things,  and  with  all  thine  abominations,  therefore  will 
I  also  diminish  thee;  "neither  shall  mine  eye  spare,  neither 
will  I  have  any  pity. 

12  1[°A  third  part  of  thee  shall  die  with  the  pestilence, 
and  with  famine  shall  they  be  consumed  in  the  midst  of 
thee :  and  a  third  part  shall  fall  by  the  sword  round  about 
thee ;  and  "I  will  scatter  a  third  part  into  all  the  winds,  and 
'I  will  draw  out  a  sword  after  them. 

13  Thus  shall  mine  anger  'be  accompli.shed,  and  I  will 
'cause  my  fury  to  rest  upon  them,  'and  I  will  be  comforted : 
"and  they  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it  in  my 
zeal,  when  I  have  accomplished  my  fury  in  them. 

14  Moreover  ""I  will  make  thee  waste,  and  a  reproach 
among  the  nations  that  are  round  about  thee,  in  the  sight 
of  all  that  pass  by. 

15  So  it  shall  be  a  "reproach  and  a  taunt,  an  instruction 
and  an  astonishment  unto  the  nations  that  are  round  about 
thee,  when   I   shall   execute   judgments  in  thee  in  anger. 


not  been  polluted ;  for  from  my  youth  up  even  till  now 
have  I  not  eaten  of  that  which  dieth  of  itself,  or  is 
torn  of  beasts;  neither  came  there  abominable  flesh 

15  into  my  mouth.  Then  he  said  unto  me.  See,  I  have 
given  thee  cow's  dung  for  man's  dung,  and  thou  shalt 

16  prepare  thy  bread  thereon.  Moreover  he  said  unto 
me.  Son  of  man,  behold,  I  will  break  the  staff"  of 
bread  in  Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  they  shall  eat  bread  by 
weight,  and  with  carefulness ;  and  they  shall  drink 

17 water  by  measure,  and  with  astonishment:  that  they 
may  want  bread  and  water,  and  be  astonied  one  with 
another,  and  pine  away  in  their  iniquity. 

■0  And  thou,  son  of  man,  take  thee  a  sharp  sword,  as 
a  barber's  razor  shalt  thou  take  it  unto  thee,  and 
shalt  cause  it  to  pass  upon  thine  head  and  upon  thy 
beard :  then  take  thee  balances  to  weigh,  and  'divide 

2  the  hair.  A  third  part  shalt  thou  burn  in  the  fire 
in  the  midst  of  the  city,  when  the  days  of  the  siege 
are  fulfilled ;  and  thou  shalt  take  a  third  part,  and 
smite  with  the  sword  round  about  it ;  and  a  third  part 
thou  shalt  scatter  to  the  wind,  and  I  will  draw  out  a 

3  sword  after  them.     And  thou   shalt  take  thereof  a 

4  few  in  number,  and  bind  them  in  thy  skirts.  And  of 
these  again  shalt  thou  take,  and  cast  them  into  the 
midst  of  the  fire,  and  burn  them  in  the  fire ;  therefrom 
shall  a  fire  come  forth  into  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  This  is  Je-ru'sa-lem :  I 
have  set  her  in  the  midst  of  the  nations,  and  coun- 

6  trjes  are  round  aboat  her.  And  she  hath  'rebelled 
against  my  judgements  in  doing  wickedness  more 
than  the  nations,  and  against  my  statutes  more  than 
the  countries  that  are  round  about  her :  for  they 
have    rejected    my    judgements,    and    as    for    my 

7  statutes,  they  have  not  walked  in  them.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD :  Because  ye  are  turbulent 
more  than  the  nations  that  are  round  about  you, 
and  have  not  walked  in  my  statutes,  neither  have 
kept  my  judgements,  neither  have  done  after  the 
^ordinances  of  the  nations  that  are  round  about  you ; 

8  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I,  even 
I,  am  against  thee;  and  I  will  execute  judgements 
in    the   midst  of  thee  in  the   sight  of  the    nations, 

9  And  I  will  do  in  thee  that  which  I  have  not  done, 
and    whereunto  I  will  not   do    any  more  the  like, 

10  because  of  all  thine  abominations.  Therefore  the 
fathers  shall  eat  the  sons  in  the  midst  of  thee,  and 
the  sons  shall  eat  their  fathers ;  and  I  will  execute 
judgements  in  thee,  and  the  whole  remnant  of  thee 

11  will  I  scatter  unto  all  the  winds.  Wherefore,  as  I 
live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  surely,  because  thou  hast 
defiled  my  sanctuary  with  all  thy  detestable  things, 
and  with  all  thine  abominations,  therefore  will  I 
also  'diminish  thee;  neither  shall  mine  eye  spare,  and 

121  also  will  have  no  pity.  A  third  part  of  thee  shall  die 
with  the  pestilence,  and  with  famine  shall  they  be  con- 
sumed in  the  midst  of  thee ;  and  a  third  part  shall  fall 
by  the  sword  round  about  thee  ;  and  a  third  part  I  will 
scatter  unto  all  the  winds,  and  will  draw  out  a  sword 

13  after  them.  Tnus  shall  mine  anger  be  accomplished, 
and  I  will  'satisfy  my  fury  'upon  them,  and  I  will 
be  comforted :  and  they  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord 
have  spoken  in  my   zeal,  when  I  have  accomplished 

14  my  fury  upon  them.  Moreover  I  will  make  thee  a 
desolation  and  a  reproach,  among  the  nations  that  are 

15  round  about  thee,  in  the  sight  of  all  that  pass  by.  So  it 
shall  be  a  reproach  and  a  taunt,  an  instruction  and  an 
astonishment,  unto  the  nations  that  are  round  about 
thee,  when  I  shall  execute  judgements  in  thee  in  anger

spoken  it. 

16  When  I  shall  "send  upon  them  the  evil  arrows  of 
famine,  which  shall  be  for  their  destruction,  and  which  I  will 
send  to  destroy  you :  and  I  will  increase  the  famine  upon 
you,  and  will  break  ''your  staff  of  bread. 

17  So  will  I  send  upon  you  famine,  and  'evil  beasts,  and 
they  shall  bereave  thee;  and  ''pestilence  and  blood  shall 
pass  through  thee ;  and  I  will  bring  the  sword  upon  thee. 
I  the  LoKD  have  spoken  it. 

CHAF-TER    VI. 

The  faiikful  are  exhsrted  to  lament  their  calamities. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  "set  thy  face  toward  the  'mountains  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  prophesy  against  them, 

3  Audsay,Yemountainsof  Is'ra-el,hear  thewordof  the  Lord 
God  ;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to  the  mountains  and  to  the 
hills,  to  the  rivers  and  to  the  valleys ;  Behold,  I,  even  I,  will 
bring  a  sword  upon  you,  and  'I  will  destroy  your  high  places. 

4  And  your  altars  shall  be  desolate,  and  your  ||  images 
shall  be  broken :  and  ''I  will  cast  down  your  slain  men  be- 
fore your  idols. 

5  And  I  will  f  lay  the  dead  carcasses  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el  before  their  idols ;  and  I  will  scatter  your  bones  round 
about  your  altars, 

6  In  all  your  dwellingplaces  the  cities  shall  be  laid  waste, 
and  the  high  places  shall  be  desolate ;  that  your  altars  may 
be  laid  waste  and  made  desolate,  and  your  idols  may  be 
broken  and  cease,  and  your  images  may  be  «ut  down,  and 
your  works  may  be  abolished." 

7  And  the  slain  shall  fall  in  the  midst  of  you,  and  *ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lokd. 

8  U-'^Yet  will  I  leave  a  remnant,  that  ye  may  have  some 
that  shall  escape  the  sword  among  the  nations,  when  ye 
shall  be  scattered  through  the  countries. 

9  And  they  that  escape  of  you  shall  remember  me  among 
the  nations  whither  they  shall  be  carried  captives,  because 
'I  am  broken  with  their  whorish  heart,  which  hath  departed 
from  me,  and  *with  their  eyes  which  go  a  whoring  after 
their  idols:  and  'they  shall  loathe  themselves  for  the  evils 
which  they  have  committed  in  all  their  abominations. 

10  And  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  and  thai  I 
have  not  said  in  vain  that  I  would  do  this  evil  unto  them. 

11  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Smite  *with  thine  hand, 
and  stamp  with  thy  foot,  and  say,  Alas,  for  all  the  evil 
abominations  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el !  'for  they  shall  Ml  by 
the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence. 

12  He  that  is  far  off  shall  die  of  the  pestilence ;  and  he 
that  is  near  shall  fall  by  the  sword ;  and  he  that  remaineth 
and  is  besieged  shall  die  by  the  famine :  "thus  will  I  lacconi- 
pHsh  my  fury  npon  them. 

13  Then  "shall  ye  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  their 
slain  wi«7t  shall  be  among  their  idols  round  about  their  altars, 
"upon  every  high  hill,  "in  all  the  tojis  of  the  mountain.s,  and 
''under  every  green  tree,  and  under  every  thick  oak,  the 
place  where  they  did  offer  sweet  savour  to  all  their  idols. 

14  So  will  I  'stretch  out  my  hand  upon  them,  and  make 
the  land  desolate,  yea,  Ijmore  desolate  than  the  wilderness 
toward  'Dib'lath,  in  all  their  habitations:  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

CHAF'TER    VII. 

The  final  desolation  of  Israel.     Their  miserable  captivity. 

MOREOVER  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD 
unto  the  land  of  Is'ra-el;  "An  end,  the  ead  is  come  upon 
the  four  comers  of  the  land. 

3  Now  %»  the  end  came  ujwn  thee,  and  I  will  send  mine 
anger  upon  thee,  and  'will  judge  thee  according  to  thy  ways, 
land  will  frecompenge  upon  thee  all  thine  abonuBations. 


and  in  fury,  and  in  furious  rebukes:  I  the  LoED 
16 have  spoken  it:  when  I  shall  send  upon  them  the 
evil  arrows  of  famine,  that  are  for  destruction,  which 
I  will  send  to  destroy  you ;  and  I  will  increase  the 
famine  upon  you,  and  will  break  your  staff  of  bread ; 
17  and  I  will  send  upon  you  famine  and  evil  beasts, 
and  they  shall  bereave  thee;  and  pestilence  and 
blood  shall  pass  through  thee ;  and  I  will  bring  the 
sword  upon  thee :  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

V     And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  toward  the  mountains  of 

3  Is'ra-el,  and  prophesy  'unto  them,  and  say,  Ye  moun- 
tains of  Is'ra-el,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  God: 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD  to  the  mountains  and  to 
the  hills,  to  the  ^water-courses  and  to  the  valleys : 
Behold,  I,  even  I,  will  bring  a  sword  upon  you,  and 

41  will  destroy  your  high  places.  And  your  altars 
shall  become  desolate,  and  your  sun-images  shall 
be  broken :  and  I  will  cast  down  your  slain  men 

5  before  your  idols.  And  I  will  lay  the  carcases  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  before  their  idols;  and  I  will 

6  scatter  your  bones  round  about  your  altars.  In  all 
your  dwelling  places  the  cities  shall  be  laid  waste, 
and  the  high  places  shall  be  desolate;  that  your 
altars  may  be  laid  waste  and  ^made  desolate,  and 
your  idols  may  be  broken  and  cease,  and  your  sun- 
images  may  be  hewn  down,  and  your  works  may  be 

7  Abolished.     And  the  slain  shall  fall  in  the  midst  of 

8  you,  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  Yet 
will  I  leave  a  remnant,  in  that  ye  shall  have  some 
thdt  escape  the  sword  among  the  nations,  when  ye 

9  shall  be  scattered  through  the  countries.  And  they 
that  escape  of  you  shall  remember  me  among  the 
nations  whither  they  shall  be  carried  captives,  how 
that  'I  have  been  broken  with  their  whorish  heart, 
which  hath  departed  from  me,  and  with  their  eyes 
which  go  a  whoring  after  their  idols :  and  they  shall 
loathe  them.selves  in  their  own  sight  for  the  evils 
which  they  have  committed  in  all  their  abominations. 

10 And  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord:  I  have 
not  said  in  vain  that  I  would  do  this  evil  unto  them. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Smite  with  thine  hand, 
and  stamp  with  thy  foot  and  say,  Alas !  because  of  all 
the  evil  abominations  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el;  for 
they  shall  fall  by  the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by 

12  the  pestilence.  He  that  is  far  oft'  shall  die  of  the 
pestilence;  and  he  that  is  near  shall  fall  by  the 
sword ;  and  he  that  remaineth  and  is  'besieged  shall 
die  by  the  famine :  thus  will  I  accomplish  my  fury 

13  upon  them.  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord, 
when  their  slain  men  shall  be  among  their  idols 
round  about  their  altars,  upon  every  high  hill,  in 
all  the  tops  of  the  mountains,  and  under  every  green 
tree,  and  under  every  thick  'oak,  the  place  where 

14  they  did  offer  sweet  savour  to  all  their  idols.  And 
I  will  stretch  out  my  hand  upon  them,  and  make 
the  land  desolate  and  waste,  *from  the  wilderness 
toward  Dib'lah,  throughout  all  their  habitations; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

/     Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 

2  ing.  And  thou,  son  of  man,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
unto  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  An  end :  the  end  is  come 

3  upon  the  four  corners  of  the  land.  Now  is  the  end 
upon  thee,  and  I  will  send  mine  anger  upon  thee, 
Aud  will  judge  thee  according  to  thy  ways;  and 
I  will    bring    upon    thee  .all   thine   abominations

4  And  "^mine  eye  shall  not  spare  thee,  neither  will  I  have 
pity :  but  I  will  recompense  thy  ways  upon  thee,  and  thine 
abominations  shall  be  in  the  midst  of  thee :  ''and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  An  evil,  an  only  evil,  behold, 
is  come. 

6  An  end  is  come,  the  end  is  come :  it  fwatcheth  for 
thee ;  behold,  it  is  come. 

7  'The  morning  is  come  unto  thee,  O  thou  that  dwellest 
in  the  land  :  •'^tbe  time  is  come,  the  day  of  trouble  is  near, 
and  not  the  ||  sounding  again  of  the  mountains. 

8  Now  will  I  shortly  "pour  out  my  fury  upon  thee  and  accom- 
plish mineangerupon  thee:  'andl  will  judge  thee  according  to 
thy  ways,and  will  recompense  thee  for  all  thine  abominations. 

9  And  'mine  eye  shall  not  spare,  neither  will  I  have  pity : 

I  will  recompense  fthee  according  to  thy  ways,  and  thine 
abominations  that  are  in  the  midst  of  thee ;  *and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord  that  smiteth. 

10  Behold  the  day,  behold,  it  is  come:  'the  morning  is 
gone  forth;  the  rod  hath  blossomed,  pride  hath  budded. 

11  "Violence  is  risen  up  into  a  rod  of  wickedness:  none 
of  them  shall  remain,  nor  of  their  ||  multitude,  nor  of  any 
of  II  theirs:  "neither  shall  there  be  wailing  for  them. 

12  °The  time  is  come,  the  day  draweth  near:  let  not  the 
buyer  rejoice,  nor  the  seller  mourn :  for  wrath  is  upon  all 
the  multitude  thereof. 

13  For  the  seller  shall  not  return  to  that  which  is  sold, 
falthough  they  were  yet  alive:  for  the  vision  is  touching 
the  whole  multitude  thereof,  which  shall  not  return ;  neither 
shall  any  strengthen  himself  ||  in  fthe  iniquity  of  his  life. 

14  They  have  blown  the  trumpet, even  to  make  all  ready; 
but  none  goeth  to  the  battle :  for  my  wrath  is  upon  all  the 
multitude  thereof. 

15  ''The  sword  is  without,  and  the  pestilence  and  the  famine 
within  :  he  that  is  in  the  field  shall  die  with  the  sword ;  and 
he  that  is  in  the  city,  famine  and  pestilence  shall,  devour  him. 

16  5[But  'they  that  escape  of  them  shall  escape,  and  shall 
be  on  the  mountains  like  doves  of  the  valleys,  all  of  them 
mourning,  every  one  for  his  iniquity. 

17  All  'hands  shall  be  feeble,  and  all  knees  shall  fbe  weak 
as  water. 

18  They  shall  also  'gird  themselves  with  sackcloth,  and 
'horror  shall  cover  them ;  and  shame  shaH  be  upon  all  feces, 
and  baldness  upon  all  their  heads. 

19  They  shall  cast  their  silver  in  the  streets,  and  their  gold 
shall  be  fremoved :  their  "silver  aud  their  gold  shall  not  be 
able  to  deliver  them  in  the  day  of  the  wrath  of  the  Lord  : 
they  shall  not  satisfy  their  souls,  neither  fill  their  bowels: 

II  because  it  is  ""the  stumblingblock  of  their  iniquity. 

20  1[  As  for  the  beauty  of  his  ornament,  he  set  it  in  majesty  : 
"but  they  made  the  images  of  their  abominations  and  of  their 
detestable  things  therein:  therefore  have  I  ||set  it  far  from  them. 

21  And  I  will  give  it  into  the  hands  of  the  strangers  for 
a  prey,  and  to  the  wicked  of  the  earth  for  a  spoil ;  and  they 
shall  pollute  it. 

22  My  face  will  I  turn  also  from  them,  and  they  shall 
pollute  my  secret  place;  for  the  ||  robbers  shall  enter  into 
it,  and  defile  it. 

23  ^Make  a  chain:  for  'the  land  is  full  of  bloody  crimes, 
and  the  city  is  full  of  violence. 

24  Wherefore  I  will  bring  the  worst  of  the  heathen,  and 
they  shall  possess  their  houses :  I  will  also  make  the  pomp  of 
the  strong  to  cease;  and  jj  their  holy  places  shall  be  defiled. 

25  fDestruction  cometh ;  and  they  shall  seek  peace,  and 
there  shall  be  none. 

26  "Mischief  shall  come  upon  mischief,  and  rumour  shall 
•be  upon  rumour;  'then  shall  they  seek  a  vision  of  the 
prophet;  but  the  law  shall  perish  from  the  priest,  and 
counsel  from  the  ancients. 


4  And  mine  «ye  shall  not  spare  thee,  neither  will  I 
have  pity  :  but  I  will  bring  thy  ways  upon  thee,  and 
thine  abominations  shall  be  in  the  midst  of  thee : 
and  ye  8ha.ll  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  An  evil,  an  only  evil ; 

6  behold,  it  cometh.  An  end  is  come,  the  end  is 
come,  it  awaketh  against  thee ;  behold,  it  cometh. 

7 'Thy  doom  is  come  unto  thee,  O  inhabitant  of 
the  land:  the  time  is  come,  the  day  is  near;  a  day 
of  tumult,  and   not  of  joyful    shouting,   ^npon   the 

8  mountains.  Now  will  I  shortly  pour  out  my  fury 
upon  thee,  and  accomplish  mine  anger  against  thee, 
and  will  judge  thee  according  to  thy  ways; 
and  I  will  bring  upon  thee  all  thine  abominations. 

9  And  mine  eye  shall  not  spare,  neither  will  I  have 
pity :  I  will  bring  upon  thee  according  to  thy 
ways,  and  thine  abominations  shall  be  in  the  midst 
of  thee ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  do  smite. 

lOBehold,  the  day,  behold,  it  cometh:  ^thy  doom  is 
gone  forth;    the    rod   hath  blossomed,   pride   hath 

11  budded.  Violence  is  risen  up  into  a  rod  of 
wickedness;  *none  of  them  shall  remain,  nor  of 
their     multitude,    nor     of    their    wealth :    neither 

12  shall  there  be  'eminency  among  them.  The 
time  is  come,  the  day  draweth  near:  let  not  the 
buyer  rejoice,   nor  the  seller  mourn :    for  wrath  is 

13  upon  all  the  multitude  thereof.  For  the  seller  shall 
not  return  to  that  which  is  sold,  ^although  they  be 
yet  alive :  for  the  vision  is  touching  the  whole  mul- 
titude thereof,  'none  shall  return  ;  neither  shall  any 

14  strengthen  himself 'in  the  iniquity  of  his  life.  They 
have  blown  the  trumpet,  and  have  made  all  ready  : 
but  none  goeth  to  the  battle :  for  my  wrath  is  upon 

15  all  the  multitude  thereof.  The  sword  is  without, 
and  the  pestilence  and  the  famine  within :  he  that 
is  in  the  field  shall  die  with  the  sword ,  and  he  that  is 
in  the  city,  famine  and  pestilence  shall  devour  him. 

16  But  they  that  escape  of  them  shall  escape,  and  shall 
be  on  the  mountains  like  doves  of  the  valleys,  all  of 

17  them  -mourning,  every  one  in  his  iniquity.  All 
hands  shall  be  feeble,  and  all  knees  shall   be  weak 

18  as  water.  They  shall  also  gird  themselves  with 
sackcloth,  and  horror  shall  cover  them ;  and  shame 
shall  be  upon  all  faces,  and-  baldness  upon  all  their 

19  heads.  They  shall  cast  their  silver  in  the  streets, 
and  their  gold  shall  be  as  an  unclean  thing;  their 
silver  and  their  gold  shall  not  be  able  to  deliver 
them  in  the  day  of  the  wrath  of  the  Lord;  they 
shall  not  satisfy  their  souls,  neither  fill  their  bowels ; 
because   it  hath  been   the  stumblingblock  of  their 

20  iniquity.  As  for  the  beauty  of  his  ornament,  'he  set 
it  in  majesty  :  but  they  made  the  images  of  their 
abominations  and  their  detestable  things  '"therein  : 
therefore  have  I  made  it  unto  them  as  an  unclean 

21  thing.  And  I  will  give  it  into  the  bands  of  the 
strangers  for  a  prey,  and  to  the  wicked  of  the  earth 

22  for  a  spoil ;  and  they  shall  profane  it.  My  face  will  I 
turn  also  from  them,  and  they  shall  profane  my  "secret 
place:  aud  robbers  shall  enter  into  it,  and  profane  it. 

23  Make  the  chain  :  for  the  land  is  full  of '^bloody  crimes, 

24  and  the  city  is  full  of  violence.  Wherefore  I  will 
bring  the  worst  of  the  heathen,  and  they  shall  possess 
their  houses :  I  will  also  make  the  pride  of  the  strong 
to  cease ;  and  'Hheir  holy  places  shall  be  profaned. 

25  "Destruction  cometh ;  and  they  shall  seek  peace,  and 

26  there  shall  be  none.  Mischief  shall  come  upon  mis- 
chief, and  rumour  shall  be  upon  rumour,  and  they 
shall  seek  a  vision  of  the  prophet ;  but  the  law  shall 
perish  from  the  priest,  and  counsel  from  the  ancients.

CHAPTER   VIII. 

.    ExekieTs  vision — Gocfs  wrath/or  idolatry. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  sixth  year,  in  the  sixth  month, 
in  the  fifth  day  of  the  month,  as  I  sat  in  mine  house, 
and  "the  elders  of  Ju'dah  sat  before  me,  that  Hhe  hand  of 
the  Lord  God  fell  there  upon  me. 

2  "Then  I  beheld,  and  lo  a  likeness  as  the  appearance  of 
fire ;  from  the  appearance  of  his  loins  even  downward,  fire ; 
and  from  his  loins  even  upward,  as  the  appearance  of 
brightness,  ''as  the  colour  of  amber. 

3  And  he  'put  forth  the  form  of  a  hand,  and  took  me  by 
a  lock  of  mine  head ;  and  ^the  spirit  lifted  me  up  between 
the  earth  and  the  heaven,  and  "brought  me  in  the  visions 
of  God  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  the  door  of  the  inner  gate  that 
looketh  toward  the  north ;  ''where  was  the  seat  of  the  image 
of  jealousy,  which  "provoketh  to  jealousy. 

4  And,  behold,  the  glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  was  there, 
according  to  the  vision  that  I  *saw  in  the  plain. 

5  ^Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  lift  up  thine  eyes 
now  the  way  toward  the  north.  So  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes 
the  way  toward  the  north,  and  behold  northward  at  the 
gate  of  the  altar  this  image  of  jealousy  in  the  entry. 

6  He  said  furthermore  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  seest  thou 
what  they  do  ?  even  the  great  abominations  that  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  committeth  here,  that  I  should  go  far  off  from 
my  sanctuary  ?  but  turn  thee  yet  again,  and  thou  shalt  see 
greater  abominations. 

7  ^And  he  brought  me  to  the  door  of  the  court;  and 
when  I  looked,  behold  a  hole  in  the  wall- 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  dig  now  in  the  wall : 
and  when  I  had  digged  in  the  wall,  behold  a  door. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me.  Go  in,  and  behold  the  wicked 
abominations  that  they  do  here. 

10  So  I  went  in  and  saw:  and  behold  every  form  of 
creeping  things,  and  abominable  beasts,  and  all  the  idols  of 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  portrayed  upon  the  wall  round  about. 

11  And  there  stood  before  them  seventy  men  of  the 
ancients  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  in  the  midst  of  them 
stood  Ja-az-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  Sha'pban,  with  every  man  his 
censer  in  his  hand ;  and  a  thick  cloud  of  incense  went  up. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  hast  thou  seen 
what  the  ancients  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  do  in  the  dark, 
every  man  in  the  chambers  of  his  imagery  ?  for  they  say, 
'The  Lord  seeth  us  not ;  the  Lord  hath  forsaken  the  earth. 

13  HHe  said  also  unto  me.  Turn  thee  yet  again,  and  thou 
shalt  see  greater  abominations  that  they  do. 

14  Then  he  brought  me  to  the  door  of  the  gate  of  the 
Lord's  house  which  was  toward  the  north;  and,  behold, 
there  sat  women  weeping  for  Tam'muz. 

15  ^Then  said  he  unto  me.  Hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son  of 
man?  turn  thee  yet  again,  and  thou  shalt  see  greater 
abominations  than  these. 

16  And  he  brought  me  into  the  inner  court  of  the  Lord's 
house,  and,  behold,  at  the  door  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord, 
"between  the  porch  and  the  altar,  "were  about  five  and 
twenty  men,  "with  their  backs  toward  the  temple  of  the 
Lord,  and  their  faces  toward  the  east;  and  they  worshipped 
"the  sun  toward  the  east. 

17  ^Then  he  said  unto  me.  Hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son 
of  man?  ||Is  it  a  light  thing  to  the  hou.se  of  Ju'dah  that 
they  commit  the  abominations  which  they  commit  here? 
for  they  have  'filled  the  land  with  violence,  and  have 
returned  to  provoke  me  to  anger:  and,  lo,  they  put  the 
branch  to  their  nose. 


27  The  king  shall  mourn,  and  the  prince  shall  be  clothed 
with  desolation,  and  the  hands  of  the  people  of  the 
land  shall  be  troubled ;  I  will  do  unto  them  afl«r 
their  way,  and  according  to  their  deserts  will  I  judge 
them ;  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

O  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  sixth  year,  in  the  sixth 
month  in  the  fifth  day  of  the  month,  as  I  sat  in  mine 
house,  and  the  elders  of  Ju'dah  sat  before  me,  that 

2  the  hand  of  the  Lord  God  fell  there  upon  me.  Then 
I  beheld,  and,  lo,  a  likeness  as  the  appearance  of 
fire ;  from  the  appearance  of  his  loins  and  down- 
ward, fire:  and  from  his  loins  and  upward,  as  the 
appearance  of  brightness,  'as  the  colour  of  %mber. 

3  And  he  put  forth  the  form  of  an  hand,  and  took  me 
by  a  lock  of  mine  head ;  and  the  spirit  lifted  me  up 
between  the  earth  and  the  heaven,  and  brought  me 
in  the  visions  of  God  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  the  door 
of  the  gate  of  the  inner  court  that  looketh  toward 
the  north ;  where  was  the  seat  of  the  image  of  jeal- 

4ousy,  which  provoketh  to  jealousy.  And,  behold, 
the  glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  was  there,  accord- 
ing  to   the  'appearance   that   I  saw   in   the  plain. 

5  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  lift  up  thine 
eyes  now  the  way  toward  the  north.  So  I  lifted 
up  mine  eyes  the  way  toward  the  north,  and 
behold   northward   of  the   gate    of  the   altar    this 

6  image  of  jealousy  in  the  entry.  And  he  said  unto 
me.  Son  of  man,  seest  thou  what  they  do?  even  the 
great  abominations  that  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  do 
commit  here,  *that  I  should  go  far  off  from  my 
sanctuary  ?  but  *thou  shalt  again  see  yet  other  great 

7  abominations.  And  he  brought  me  to  the  door  of 
the  court ;  and  when  I  looked,  behold  a  hole  in  the 

8  wall.  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  dig  now 
in  the  wall :  and  when  I  had  digged  in  the  wall,  be 

9  hold  a  door.     And  he  said  unto  me.  Go  in,  and  see 

10  the  wicked  abominations  that  they  do  here.  So  I 
went  in  and  saw ;  and  behold  every  form  of  creep' 
ing  things,  and  abominable  beasts,  and  all  the 
idols  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  pourtrayed  upon  the 

11  wall  round  about.  And  there  stood  before  them 
seventy  men  of  the  elders,  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  in  the  midst  of  them  stood  Ja-az-a-ni'ah  the  son 
of  Sha'pban,  with  every  man  his  censer  in  his  hand  ; 

12  and  the  odour  of  the  cloud  of  incense  went  up.  Then 
said  he  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  hast  thou  seen  what 
the  elders  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  do  in  the  dark, 
every  man  in  his  chambers  of  imagery  ?  for  they  say, 
The  Lord  seeth  us  not;  the  Lord  hath  forsaken  the 

13 'earth.  He  said  also  unto  me,  Thou  shalt  again  see 
14  yet  other  great  abominations  which  they  do.     Then 

he  brought  me  to  the  door  of  the  gate  of  the  Lord's 

house  which  was  toward  the  north;  and  behold, 
16  there  sat  the  women  weeping  for  Tam'muz.     Then 

said  he  unto  me,  hast  thou  seen  this,  O  son  of  man  ? 

thou  shalt  again  see  yet  greater  abominations  than 

16  these.  And  he  brought  me  into  the  inner  court  of 
the  Lord's  house,  and  behold,  at  the  door  of  the 
temple  of  the  Lord,  between  the  porch  and  the 
altar,  were  about  five  and  twenty  men,  with  their 
backs  toward  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  and  their 
faces  toward  the  east ;  and  they  worshipped  the  sun 

17  toward  the  east.  Then  he  said  unto  me.  Hast  thou 
seen  this,  O  son  of  man  ?  Is  it  a  light  thing  to  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  that  they  commit  the  abominations 
which  they  commit  here?  for  they  have  filled  the  land 
with  violence,  and  have  turned  again  to  provoke  me 
to  anger :  and,  lo,  they  put  the  branch  to  their  nose.

spare,  neither  will  I  have  pity:    and   though  they  'cry  in 
mine  ears  with  a  loud  voice,  yet  will  I  not  hear  them. 
CHAPTER    IX. 

A  vision,  shewing  the  preservation  of  some,  and  tht  destruction  of  the  rest. 

HE   cried   also   in   mine   ears  with  a  loud  voice,  saying. 
Cause  them  that  have  charge  over  the  city  to  draw  near, 
even  every  man  with  his  destroying  weapon  in  his  hand. 

2  And,  behold,  six  men  came  from  the  way  of  the  higher 
gate,  fwhich  lieth  toward  the  north,  and  every  man  fa 
slaughter  weapon  in  his  hand;  "and  one  man  among  them 
was  clothed  with  linen,  with  a  writer's  inkhorn  fby  his  side  : 
and  they  went  in,  and  stood  beside  the  brazen  altar. 

3  And  'the  glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  was  gone  up  from 
the  cherub  whereupon  he  was,  to  the  threshold  of  the 
house.  And  he  called  to  the  man  clothed  with  linen, 
which  had  the  writer's  inkhorn  by  his  side ; 

4  And  the  LoKD  said  unto  him.  Go  through  .the  midst  of 
the  city,  through  the  midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  fset  "a  mark 
upon  the  foreheads  of  the  men  ''that  sigh  and  that  cry  for 
all  the  abominations  that  be  done  in  the  midst  thereof. 

5  ^And  to  the  others  he  said  in  fmine  hearing.  Go  ye 
after  him  through  the  city,  and  smite :  'let  not  your  eye 
spare,  neither  have  ye  pity : 

6  ■'Slay  futterly  old  and  young,  both  maids,  and  little 
children,  and  women  :  but  "come  not  near  any  man  upon 
whom  i8  the  mark;  and  *begin  at  my  sanctuary.  'Then 
they  began  at  the  ancient  men  which  were  before  the  house. 

7  And  he  said  unto  them.  Defile  the  house,  and  fill  the 
courts  with  the  slain:  go  ye  forth.  And  they  went  forth, 
and  slew  in  the  city. 

8  ^And  it  came  to  pass  while  they  were  slaying  them, 
and  I  was  left,  that  I  *fell  upon  my  face,  and  cried,  and 
said,  'Ah  Lord  God!  wilt  thou  destroy  all  the  residue  of 
Is'ra-el  in  thy  pouring  out  of  thy  fury  upon  Je-nu'salem  ? 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me.  The  iniquity  of  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah  is  exceeding  great,  and  ""the  land  is  ffull 
of  blood,  and  the  city  full  of  ||  perverseness :  for  they  say, 
"The  Lord  hath  forsaken  the  earth,  and  "the  Lord  seeth  not. 

10  And  as  for  me  also,  mine  ''eye  shall  not  spare,  neither  will 
I  have  pity,  bid  "I  will  recompense  their  way  upon  their  head. 

11  And  behold,  the  man  clothed  with  linen,  which  had 
the  inkhorn  by  his  side,  freported  the  matter,  saying,  I 
have  done  as  thou  hast  commanded  me. 

CHAPTER     X. 

The  vision  of  the  coals  of  fire,  and  of  the  cherubim. 

THEN  I  looked,  and,  behold,  in  the  "firmament  that  was 
above  the  head  of  the  cherubim  there  appeared  over  them 
as  it  were  a  sapphire  stone,  as  the  appearance  of  the  like- 
ness of  a  throne. 

2  'And  he  spake  unto  the  man  clothed  with  linen,  and  said. 
Go  in  between  the  wheels,  even  under  the  cherub,  and  fill 
fthine  hand  with  "coals  of  fire  from  between  the  cherubim, 
and  ''scatter  <Aem  over  the  city.     And  he  went  in  in  my  sight. 

3  Now  the  cherubim  stood  on  the  right  side  of  the  house, 
when  the  man  went  in ;  and  the  cloud  filled  the  inner  court. 

4  "Then  the  glory  of  the  Lord  fwent  up  from  the 
cherub,  and  stood  over  the  threshold  of  the  house ;  and  'the 
house  was  filled  with  the  cloud,  and  the  court  was  full  of 
the  brightness  of  the  Lord's  glory. 

5  And  the  'sound  of  the  cherubim's  wings  was  heard  even 
to  the  outer  court,  as  *the  voice  of  the  Almighty  God  when 
he  speaketh. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  he  had  commanded  the 
man  clothed  with  linen,  saying.  Take  fire  from  between  the 
wheels,  from  between  the  cherubim ;  then  he  went  in,  and 
stood  beside  the  wheels. 

7  And  one  cherub  fstretched  forth  his  hand  from  between 
the  cherubim  unto  the  fire  that  was  between  the  cherubim, 


18  Therefore  will  I  also  deal  in  fury :  mine  eye  shall  not 
spare,  neither  will  I  have  pity :  and  though  they  cry  in 
mine  ears  with  a  loud  voice,  yet  will  I  not  hear  them. 

V  Then  he  cried  in  mine  ears  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying,  'Cause  ye  them  that  have  charge  over  the 
city   to   draw  near,  every  man  with  his  destroying 

2  weapon  in  his  hand.  And  behold,  six  men  came 
from  the  way  of  the  upper  gate,  which  lieth  toward 
the  north,  every  man  with  his  ''slaughter  weapon  in 
his  hand ;  and  one  man  in  the  midst  of  them  clothed 
in  linen,  with  a  writer's  inkhorn  ^by  his  side.  And 
they   went   in,   and   stood  beside  the  brasen  altar. 

3  And  the  glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  was  gone  up 
from  the  cherub,  whereupon  it  was,  to  the  thresh- 
old of  the  house :  and  he  called  to  the  man  clothed 
in  linen,  which  had   the  writer's   inkhorn  'by   his 

4  side.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go  through  the 
midst  of  the  city,  through  the  midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  set  a  mark  upon  the  foreheads  of  the  men  that 
sigh  and  that  cry  for  all  the  abominations  that  be 

5  done  in  the  midst  thereof.  And  to  the  others  he 
said  in  mine  hearing.  Go  ye  through  the  city  after  him, 
and  smite:    let  not   your   eye  spare,  neither  have 

6  ye  pity :  slay  'utterly  the  old  man,  the  young 
man  and  the  maiden,  and  little  children  and  women  : 
but  come  not  near  any  man  upon  whom  is  the  mark; 
and  begin  at  my  sanctuary.     Then  they  began  at  the 

7  'ancient  men  which  were  before  the  house.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  Defile  the  house,  and  fill  the  courts 
with  the  slain :  go  ye  forth.     And  they  went  forth. 

Sand  smote  in  the  city.  And  it  came  to  pass,  while 
they  were  smiting,  and  I  was  left,  that  I  fell  upon 
my  face,  and  cried,  and  said,  Ah  Lord  God!  wilt 
thou  destroy  all  the  residue  of  Is'ra-el  in  thy  pouring 

9  out  of  thy  fury  upon  Je-ru'salem  ?  Then  said  he  unto 
me,  The  iniquity  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  Ju'dah  is 
exceeding  great,  and  the  land  is  full  of  blood,  and  the 
city  full  of  'wresting  of  judgement :  for  they  say,  The 
Lord  hath  forsaken  the  'earth,  and  the  Lord  seeth 

10  not.  And  as  for  me  also,  mine  eye  shall  not  spare, 
neither  will  I  have  pity,'but  I  will  bring  their  way  upon 

11  their  head.  And  behold,  the  man  clothed  in  linen, 
which  had  the  inkhorn  by  his  side,  reported  the  mat- 
ter, saying,  I  heve  done  as  thou  hast  commanded  me. 

4-v  Then  I  looked,  and  behold,  in  the  firmament  that 
was  over  the  head  of  the  cherubim,  there  appeared 
above   them    as   it   were   a   sapphire   stone,   as   the 

2  appearance  of  the  likeness  of  a  throne.  And  he 
spake  unto  the  man  clothed  in  linen,  and  said.  Go  in 
between  the  whirling  wheels,  even  under  the  cherub, 
and  fill  both  thine  hands  with  coals  of  fire  from  be- 
tween the  cherubim,  and  'scatter  them  over  the  city. 

3  And  he  went  in  in  my  sight.  Now  the  cherubim 
stood  on  the  right  side  of  the  house,  when  the  man 

4  went  in ;  and  the  cloud  filled  the  inner  court.  And  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  mounted  up  from  the  cherub,  and 
stood  over  the  threshold  of  the  house ;  and  the  house 
was  filled  with  the  cloud,  and  the  court  was  full  of  the 

5  brightness  of  the  Lord's  glory.  And  the  sound  of 
the  wings  of  the  cherubim  was  heard  even  to  the  outer 
court,  as  the  voice  of  'God  Almighty  when  he  speak- 

6eth.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  commanded  the 
man  clothed  in  linen,  saying.  Take  fire  from  between 
the  whirling  loheels,  from  between  the  cherubim,  that 

7  he  went  in,  and  stood  beside  a  wheel.  And  the  cherub 
stretched  forth  his  hand  from  between  the  cheru- 
bim unto  the  fire  that  was  between  the  cherubim,

and  took  thereof,  and  put  it  into  the  hands  of  him  thai  wxts 
clothed  Avith  linen ;  who  took  it,  and  went  out. 

8  ^'And  there  appeared  in  the  cherubim  the  form  of  a 
man's  hand  under  their  wings. 

9  *And  when  I  looked,  behold  the  four  wheels  by  the 
cherubim,  one  wheel  by  one  cherub,  and  another  wheel  by 
another  cherub:  and  the  appearance  of  the  wheels  was  as 
the  colour  of  a  'beryl  stone. 

10  And  as  for  their  appearances,  they  four  had  one  like- 
ness, as  if  a  wheel  had  been  in  the  midst  of  a  wheel. 

11  "When  they  went,  they  went  upon  their  four  sides; 
they  turned  not  as  they  went,  but  to  the  place  whither  the 
head  looked  they  followed  it;  they  turned  not  as  they  went. 

12  And  their  whole  fbody,  and  their  backs,  and  their 
hands,  and  their  wings,  and  "the  wheels,  were  full  of  eyes 
round  about,  even  the  wheels  that  they  four  had. 

13  As  for  the  wheels,  |i  it  was  cried  unto  them  in  my  hear- 
ing, O  wheel. 

14  "And  every  one  had  four  faces:  the  first  face  was  the  face 
of  a  cherub,  and  the  second  face  was  the  face  of  a  man,  and  the 
third  the  face  of  a  lion,  and  the  fourth  the  face  of  an  eagle. 

15  And  the  cherubim  were  lifted  up.  This  is  ''the  living 
creature  that  I  saw  by  the  river  of  Che'bar. 

16  'And  when  the  cherubim  went, the  wheels  went  by  them: 
and  when  the  cherubim  lifted  up  their  wings  to  mount  up  from 
the  earth,  the  same  wheels  also  turned  not  from  beside  them. 

17  'When  they  stood,  these  stood;  and  when  they  were 
lifted  up,  these  lifted  up  themselves  also:  for  the  spirit  ||of 
the  living  creature  was  in  them. 

18  Then  'the  glory  of  the  Lokd  'departed  from  oflF  the 
threshold  of  the  house,  and  stood  over  the  cherubim. 

19  And  "the  cherubim  lifted  up  their  wings,  and  mounted 
up  from  the  earth  in  my  sight:  when  they  went  out,  the 
wheels  also  were  beside  them,  and  every  one  stood  at  the 
door  of  the  east  gate  of  the  Lord's  house ;  and  the  glory 
of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  roas  over  them  above. 

20  'This  is  the  living  creature  that  I  saw  under  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el  "by  the  river  of  Che'bar;  and  I  knew  that  they 
were  the  cherubim. 

21  "Every  one  had  four  faces  apiece,and  every  onefourwings; 
"and  the  likeness  of  the  hands  of  a  man  was  under  their  wings. 

22  And  *the  likeness  of  their  faces  was  the  same  faces 
which  I  saw  by  the  river  of  Che'bar,  their  appearances  and 
themselves:  they  went  every  one  straight  forward. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

God  sheweth  Ezekiel  his  purpose  in  saving  a  remnant* 

MOREOVER,  "the  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and  brought  me 
unto  'the  east  gate  of  the  Lord's  house,  which  looketh 
eastward :  and  behold  "at  the  door  of  the  gate  five  and  twenty 
men ;  among  whom  I  saw  Ja-az-a-ni'ah  the  son  of  A'zur, 
and  Pel-a-ti  ah  the  son  of  Be-na'iah,  princes  of  the  people. 

2  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  these  are  the  men 
that  devise  mischief,  and  give  wicked  counsel  in  this  city : 

3  Which  say,  \\It  is  not  ''near;  let  us  build  houses:  'this 
city  is  the  caldron,  and  we  be  the  flesh. 

4  ^Therefore  prophesy  against  them,  prophesy,  O  son  of 
man. 

5  And  ■'the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  fell  upon  me,  and  said  unto 
me.  Speak;  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Thus  have  ye  said,  O 
house  of  Is'ra-el :  for  I  know  the  things  that  come  into  your 
mind,  every  one  of  them. 

6  »Ye  have  multiplied  your  slain  in  this  city,  and  ye  have 
filled  the  streets  thereof  with  the  slain. 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  *Your  slain  whom  ye 
have  laid  in  the  midst  of  it,  they  are  the  flesh,  and  this  city  is 
the  caldron :  'but  I  will  bring  you  forth  out  of  the  midst  of  it. 

8  Ye  have  feared  the  sword;  and  I  will  bring  a  sword 
upon  you,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

w  And  I  will  bring  you  out  of  the  midst  thereof, and  deliv«r 


and  took  thereof,  and  put  it  into  the  hands  of  him 
that  was  clothed  in  linen,  who  took  it  and  went  out. 

8  And  there  appeared  in  the  cherubim  the  form  of  a 

9  man's  hand  under  their  wings.  And  I  looked, 
and  behold,  four  wheels  beside  the  cherubim,  one 
wheel  beside  one  cherub,  and  another  wheel  beside 
another  cherub :  and   the  appearance   of  the  wheels 

10  was  'as  the  colour  of  a  ^beryl  stone.  And  as  for 
their  appearance,  they  four  had  one  likeness,  as  if  a 

11  wheel  had  been  'within  a  wheel.  When  they  went, 
they  went  ''upon  their  four  sides :  they  turned  not 
as  they  went,  but  to  the  place  whither  the  head 
looked   they  followed   it;  they  turned  not  as  they 

12  went.  And  their  whole  body,  and  their  backs,  and 
their  hands,  and  their  wings,  and  the  wheels,  were 
full  of  eyes  round  about,  even  the  wheels  that  they 

13  four  had.     As  for  the  wheels,  they  were  called  in 

14  my  hearing,  the  whirling  wheels.  And  every  one 
had  four  faces:  the  first  face  was  the  face  of  the 
cherub,  and  the  second  face  was  the  face  of  a  man, 
and  the  third  the  face  of  a  lion,  and  the  fourth  the 

15 face  of  an  eagle.  And  the  cherubim  mounted  up: 
this  is  the  living  creature  that  I  saw  by  the  river  Che'- 

16  bar.  And  when  the  cherubim  went,  the  wheels  went 
beside  them:  and  when  the  cherubim  lifted  up 
their  wings  to  mount  up  from  the  earth,  the  wheels 

17  also  turned  not  from  beside  them.  When  they 
stood,  these  stood;  and  when  they  mounted  up, 
these  mounted  up  with  them :  for  the  spirit  ^of  the 

18  living  creature  was  in  them.  And  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  went  forth  from  over  the  threshold  of  the  house, 

19  and  stood  over  the  cherubim.  And  the  cherubim 
lifled  up  their  wings,  and  mounted  up  from  the  earth 
in  my  sight  when  they  Avent  forth,  and  the  wheels 
'beside  them :  and  they  stood  at  the  door  of  the  east 
gate  of  the  Lord's  house ;  and  the  glory  of  the  God 

20  of  Is'ra-el  was  over  them  above.  This  is  the  living 
creature  that  I  saw  under  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  by  the 
river  Che'bar;  and  I  knew  that  they  were  cherubim. 

21  Every  one  had  four  faces  apiece,  and  every  one  four 
wings ;  and  the  likeness  of  the  hands  of  a  man  was 

22  under  their  wings.  And  as  for  the  likeness  of 
their  faces,  they  were  the  faces  which  I  saw  by  the 
river  Che'bar,  their  appearances  and  themselves; 
they  went  every  one  straight  forward. 

4-1-  Moreover  the  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and  brought  me 
unto  the  east  gate  of  the  Lord's  house,  which  looketh 
eastward  :  and  behold,  at  the  door  of  the  gate  five  and 
twenty  men ;  and  I  saw  in  the  midst  of  them  Ja-az-a- 
ni'ah  the  son  of  Az'zur,  and  Pel-a-ti'ah  the  son  of  Be- 

2  na'iah,  princes  of  the  people.  And  he  said  unto  me. 
Son  of  man,  these  are  the  men  that  devise  iniquity. 

Sand  that  give  wicked  counsel  in  this  city:  which 
say,  ''The  time  is  not  near  to  build  houses:  this  city 

4  is  the  caldron,  and  we  be  the  flesh.    Therefore  proph- 

5esy  against  them,  prophesy,  O  son  of  man.  And 
the  spirit  of  the  Lord  fell  upon  me,  and  he  said  unto 
me,  Speak,  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  Thus  have  ye 
said,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el;  for  I  know  the  things  that 

6come  into  your  mind.  Ye  have  multiplied  your 
slain  in  this  city,  and  ye  have  filled  the  streets  there- 

7  of  with  the  slain.  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God:  Your  slain  whom  ye  have  laid  in  the  midst 
of  it,  they  are  the  flesh,  and  this  city  is  the  caldron  : 
but  *ye  shall  be  brought  forth  out  of  the  midst  of  it. 

8  Ye  have  feared   the  sword ;  and   I  will  bring  the 

9  sword  upon  you,  saith  the  Lord  God.  And  I  will 
bring  you  forth  out  of  the  midst  thereof,  and  deliver

10  'Ye  shall  fall  by  the  sword;  I  will  judge  you  in  "the 
border  of  Is'ra-el ;  "and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  LoRD. 

11  "This  city  shall  not  be  your  caldron,  neither  shall  ye 
be  the  flesh  in  the  midst  thereof;  but  I  will  judge  you  in 
the  border  of  Is'ra-el : 

12  And  "ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  :  ||  for  ye 
have  not  walked  in  my  statutes,  neither  executed  my  judg- 
ments, but  "have  done  after  the  manners  of  the  heathen 
that  are  round  about  you. 

13  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  I  prophesied,  that  ''Pel-a- 
ti'ah  the  son  of  Be-na'ian  died.  Then  'fell  I  down  upon  my 
face,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  and  said,  Ah  Lord  God  ! 
wilt  thou  make  a  full  end  of  the  remnant  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

14  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

15  Son  of  man,  thy  brethren,  even  thy  brethren,  the  men 
of  thy  kindred,  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  wholly,  are  they 
unto  whom  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  have  said,  Get  you 
fer  from  the  Lord:  unto  us  is  this  land  given  in  possession. 

16  Therefore  say,Thussaith  the  Lord  God;  Although  1  have 
cast  them  far  off  among  the  heathen,  and  although  I  have 
scattered  them  among  the  countries,  'yet  will  I  be  to  them 
as  a  little  sanctuary  in  the  countries  where  they  shall  come. 

17  Therefore  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  "I  will  even 
gather  you  from  the  people,  and  assemble  you  out  of  the 
countries  where  ye  have  been  scattered,  and  I  will  give  you 
the  land  of  Is'ra-el. 

18  And  they  shall  come  thither,  and  "'they  shall  take  away 
all  the  detestable  things  thereof  and  all  the  abominations 
thereof  from  thence. 

19  And  "I  will  give  them  one  heart,  and  I  will  put 'a  new 
spirit  within  you;  and  I  will  take  "the  stony  heart  out  of 
their  flesh,  and  will  give  them  a  heart  of  flesh  : 

20  'That  they  may  walk  in  my  statutes,  and  keep  mine 
ordinances,  and  do  them:  ''and  they  shall  be  my  people, 
and  I  will  be  their  God. 

21  But  as  for  them  whose  hea"^.  walketh  after  the  heart  of 
their  detestable  things  and  their  abominations,  ''I  will 
recompense  their  way  upon  their  own  heads,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

22  ^Then  did  the  cherubim  'lift  up  their  wings,  and  the 
wheels  beside  them ;  and  the  glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el 
was  over  them  above. 

23  And  ■'the  glory  of  the  Lord  went  up  from  the  midst 
of  the  city,  and  stood  'upon  the  mountain  *which  is  on  the 
east  side  of  the  city. 

24  ^Afterwards  'the  spirit  took  me  up,  and  brought  me  in 
a  vision  by  the  Spirit  of  God  into  Chal-de'a,  to  them  of  the 
captivity.     So  the  vision  that  I  had  seen  went  up  from  me. 

25  Then  I  spake  unto  them  of  the  captivity  all  the  things 
that  the  Lord  had  shewed  me. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

Zedekiah's  captivity  typified. 

rpHE  word  of  the  Lord  also  came  unto  me,  saying, 
A    2  Son  of  man,  thou  dwellest  in  the  midst  of  "a  rebellious 
house,  which  'have  eyes  to  see,  and  see  not;  they  have  ears 
to  hear,  and  hear  not ;  "for  they  are  a  rebellious  house. 

3  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man,  prepare  thee  ||  stuff  for 
removing,  and  remove  by  day  in  their  sight;  and  thou  shalt 
remove  from  thy  place  to  another  place  in  their  sight;  it 
may  be  they  will  consider,  though  they  he  a  rebellious  house. 

4  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  thy  stuff  by  day  in  their 
sight,  as  stuff  for  removing:  and  thou  shalt  go  forth  at 
even  in  their  sight,  fas  they  that  go  forth  into  captivity. 

5  fDig  thou  through  the  wall  in  their  sight,  and  carry  out 
thereby. 

6  In  their  sight  shalt  thou  bear  it  upon  thy  shoulders,  and 
carry  it  forth  in  the  twilight :  thou  shalt  cover  thy  fece,  that 


you  into   the  hands  of  strangers  and   will   execute 

10  judgements  among  you.  Ye  shall  fall  by  the  sword; 
I  will  judge  you  in  the  border  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  ye 

11  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  This  dty  shall  not 
be  your  caldron,  neither  shall  ye  be  the  flesh  in  the 
midst  thereof;  I  will  judge  you  in  the  border  of  Is'ra-ei; 

Jl  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  :  for  ye  have 
not  walked  in  my  statutes,  neither  have  ye  executed 
my  judgements,  but  have  done  after  the  'ordinances 

13  of  the  nations  that  are  round  about  you.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  when  I  prophesied,  that  Pel-a-ti'ah  the 
son  of  Be-na'iah  died.  Then  fell  I  down  upon  my 
face,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  and  said,  Ah  Lord 
God  !  wilt  thou  make  a  full  end  of  the  remnant  of 
Is'ra-el  ? 

14  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 
15ing,  Son  of  man,  thy  brethren,  even  thy  brethren, 

the  men  of  thy  ^kindred,  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
all  of  them,  are  they  unto  whom  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  have  said.  Get  you  far  from  the  Lord  ; 

16  unto  us  is  this  land  given  for  a  possession  :  there- 
fore say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD:  Whereas  I 
have  removed  them  far  off  among  the  nations,  and 
whereas  I  have  scattered  them  among  the  countries, 
'yet  will  I  be  to  them  a  sanctuary  for  a  little  while  in 

17  the  countries  where  they  are  come.  Therefore  say, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  I  will  gather  you 
from  the  peoples,  and  assemble  you  out  of 
the  countries  where  ye  have  been  scattered,  and  T 

18  will  give  you  the  land  of  Is'ra-el.  And  they  shall 
come  thither,  and  they  shall  take  away  all  the 
detestable   things  thereof  and  all  the  abominations 

19  thereof  from  thence.  And  I  will  give  them  one 
heart,  and  I  Avill  put  a  new  spirit  within  you; 
and  I  will  take   the   stony  heart  out  of  their  flesh, 

20  and  will  give  them  an  heart  of  flesh :  that  they  may 
walk  in  my  statutes,  and  keep  mine  ordinances,  and 
do  them :    and  they  shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will 

21  be  their  God.  But  as  for  them  whose  heart  walketh 
after  the  heart  of  their  detestable  things  and  their 
abominations,  I  will  bring  their  way  upon  their  own 

22  heads,  saith  the  Lord  God.  Then  did  the  cherubim 
lift  up  their  wings,  and  the  wheels  were  *beside 
them ;  and  the  glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  was  over 

23  them  above.  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  went  up 
from  the  midst  of  the  city,  and  stood  upon  the 
mountain  which    is   on   the   east   side   of  the  city. 

24  And  the  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and  brought  me  in  the 
vision  by  the  spirit  of  God  into  Chal-de'a,  to  them  of 
the  captivity.     So  the  vision  that  I  had  seen  went  up 

25  from  me.  Then  I  spake  unto  them  of  the  captivity 
all  the  things  that  the  Lord  had  shewed  me. 

+«  The  word  of  the  Lord  also  came  unto  me,  say- 
2ing,  Son  of  man,  thou  dwellest  in  the  midst  of  the 
rebellious  house,  which  have  eyes  to  see,  and  see 
not,  which  have  ears  to  hear,  and  hear  not ;  for  they 
3 are  a  rebellious  house.  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man, 
prepare  thee  stuff  for  'removing,  and  remove  by 
day  in  their  sight ;  and  thou  shalt  remove  from  thy 
place  to  another  place  in  their  sight:  it  may  be 
they   will  ^consider,   though    they    be   a    rebellious 

4  house.  And  thou  shalt  bring  forth  thy  stuff  by  day 
in  their  sight,  as  stuff  for  'removing ;  and  thou 
shalt  go  forth  thyself  at  even  in  their  sight,  as  when 

5  men  go  forth  into  exile.    Dig  thou  through  the  wall 

6  in  their  sight,  and  carry  out  thereby.  In  their  sight 
shalt  thou  bear  it  upon  thy  shoulder,  and  carry  it 
forth  in  the  dark;   thou  shalt  cover  thy  fece,  that

thou  see  not  the  ground :  ''for  I  have  set  thee/or  a  sign  unto 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  .^nd  I  did  so  as  I  was  commanded  :  I  brought  forth  my 
stuff  by  day,  as  stuff  for  captivity,  and  in  the  even  I 
fdigged  through  the  wall  with  mine  hand;  I  brought  it 
forth  in  the  twilight,  and  I  bare  it  upon  my  shoulder  in  their 
sight. 

8  ^And  in  the  morning  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto 
me,  saying, 

9  Son  of  man,  hath  not  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  'the  rebellious 
house,  said  unto  thee,  ■''^Yhat  doest  thou  ? 

10  Say  thou  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  This 
"burden  coneerneth  the  prince  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  that  are  among  them. 

1  ]  Say,  ''I  am  your  sign :  like  as  I  have  done,  so  shall  it 
be  done  unto  them:  f'they  shall  remove  and  go  into  cap- 
tivity. 

12  And  *the  prince  that  is  among  them  shall  bear  upon 
his  shoulder  in  the  twilight,  and  shall  go  forth :  they  shall 
dig  through  the  wall  to  carry  out  thereby:  he  shall  cover 
his  face,  that  he  see  not  the  ground  with  his  eyes. 

13  My  'net  also  will  I  spread  upon  him,  and  he  shall  be 
taken  in  my  snare :  and  "'I  will  bring  him  to  Bab'y-lon  to  the 
land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  yet  shall  he  not  see  it,  though  he 
shall  die  there. 

14  And  "I  will  scatter  toward  every  wind  all  that  are  about 
him  to  help  him,  and  all  his  bands ;  and  "I  will  draw  out  the 
sword  after  them. 

15  "And  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I 
shall  scatter  them  among  the  nations,  and  disperse  them  in 
the  countries. 

16  'But  I  will  leave  fa  few  men  of  them  from  the  sword, 
from  the  famine,  and  from  the  pestilence;  that  they  may 
declare  all  their  abominations  among  the  heathen  whither 
they  come ;  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  LoED. 

17  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  'eat  thy  bread  with  quaking,  and  drink 
thy  water  with  trembling  and  with  carefulness ; 

19  And  say  unto  the  people  of  the  land,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  of  the  land 
of  Is'ra-el ;  They  shall  eat  their  bread  with  carefulness,  and 
drink  their  water  with  astonishment,  that  her  land  may  'be 
desolate  from  fall  that  is  therein,  'because  of  the  violence 
of  all  them  that  dwell  therein. 

20  And  the  cities  that  are  inhabited  shall  be  laid  waste, 
and  the  land  shall  be  desolate;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord. 

21  ^And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

22  Son  of  man,  what  is  that  proverb  that  ye  have  in  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el,  saying  "The  days  are  prolonged,  and  every 
vision  faileth? 

23  Tell  them  therefore.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will 
make  this  proverb  to  cease,  and  they  shall  no  more  use  it 
as  a  proverb  in  Is'ra-el ;  but  say  unto  them,  "The  days  are  at 
hand,  and  the  effect  of  every  vision. 

24  For  "there  shall  be  no  more  any  'vain  vision  ncr 
flattering  divination  within  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

25  For  I  am  the  Lord  :  I  will  speak,  and  "the  word  that 
I  shall  speak  shall  come  to  pass;  it  shall  be  no  more 
prolonged :  for  in  your  days,  O  rebellious  house,  will  I  say 
the  word,  and  will  perform  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

26  ^  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

27  ""Son  of  man,  behold,  they  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  say, 
The  vision  that  he  seeth  is  "for  many  days  to  come,  and  he 
prophesieth  of  the  times  that  are  far  off. 

28  ''Therefore  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
There  shall  none  of  my  words  be  prolonged  any  more,  but 
the  word  which  I  have  spoken  shall  be  done,  saith  the 
Lord  God, 


thou  see  not  the  ground:  for   I  have  set  thee  for 

7  a  sign  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el.  And  I  did  so  as  I 
was  commanded :  I  brought  forth  my  stuff  by  day, 
as  stuff  for  removing,  and  in  the  even  I  digged 
through  the  wall  with  mine  hand ;  I  brought  it  forth 
in  the  dark,  and  bare  it  upon  my  shoulder  in  their 

8  sight.     And  in  the  morning  came  the  word  of  the 

9  Lord  unto  me,  saying,  Son  of  man,  hath  not  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el,  the  rebellious  house,  said  unto  thee, 

10 What  doest  thou?  Say  thou  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God:  This  'burden  coneerneth  the  prince 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  ^among 

11  whom  they  are.     Say,  I  am  your  sign:    like   as 
have  done,  so  shall  it  be  done  unto  them :  they  shall 

12  go  into  exile,  into  captivity.  And  the  prince  that 
is  among  them  shall  bear  upon  his  shoulder  in  the 
dark,  and  shall  go  forth:  they  shall  dig  through 
the  wall  to  carry  out  thereby:  he  shall  cover  his 
face,  because  he  shall  not  see  the  Aground  with  his 

13  eyes.  My  net  also  will  I  spread  upon  him,  and  he 
shall  be  taken  in  my  snare :  and  I  will  bring  him  to 
Bab'y-lon  to  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans ;  yet  shall  he 

14  not  see  it,  though  he  shall  die  there.  And  I  will 
scatter  toward  every  wind  all  that  are  round  about 
him  to  help  him,  and  all  his  bands ;  and  I  will  draw 

15  out  the  sword  after  them.  And  they  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall  disperse  them 
among    the     nations,     and     scatter    them    through 

16  the  countries.  But  I  will  leave  a  few  men  of 
them  from  the  sword,  from  the  famine,  and  from 
the  pestilence ;  that  they  may  declare  all  their 
abominations  among  the  nations  whither  they  come; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

17  Moreover  the  word  of  the    Lord   came  to   me, 

18  saying.  Son  of  man,  eat  thy  bread  with  quaking, 
and  drink  thy  water  with  trembling  and  with  care- 

19 fulness;  and  say  unto  the  people  of  the  land.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  concerning  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  land  of  Is  ra-el :  .They  shall  eat 
their  bread  with  carefulness,  and  drink  their  water 
with  astonishment,  that  her  land  may  be  desolate 
from  ''all  that  is  therein,  because  of  the  violence  of 

20 all  them  that  dwell  therein.  And  the  cities  that  are 
inhabited  shall  be  laid  wa.ste,  and  the  land  shall  be  a 
desolation;   and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

21  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 

22  ing,  Son  of  man,  what  is  this  proverb  that  ye  have 
in  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  .saying.  The  days  are    pro- 

23 longed,  and  every  vision  faileth?  Tell  them  there- 
fore. Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will  make  this 
proverb  to  cease,  and  they  shall  no  more  use  it  as 
a  proverb  in  Is'ra-el ;  but  say  unto  them.  The  days 

24  are  at  hand,  and  the  'effect  of  every  vision.  For 
there  shall  be  no  more  any  vain  vision  nor  flattering 

25  divination  within  the  house  of  Is'ra-el.  For  I  am  the 
Lord;  I  will  speak,  and  the  Avord  that  I  shall  speak 
shajl  be  performed ;  it  shall  be  no  more  deferred : 
for  in  your  days,  O  rebellious  house,  will  I  speak^ 
the  word,  and  will  perform  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

26  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  me,  saying, 

27  Son  of  man,  behold,  they  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
say.  The  vision  that  he  seeth  is  for  many  days  to 
come,  and  he  prophesieth  of  times  that  are  far  off. 

28  Therefore  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  : 
There  shall  none  of  my  words  be  deferred  any 
more,  but  the  word  which  I  shall  speak  shall  be 
performed,  saith  the  Lord  God.

CHAPTER    XIII. 

The  reproof  of  lying  prophets. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against  the  prophets  of  Is'ra-el 
that  prophesy,  and  say  thou  unto  "fthem  that  prophesy  out 
of  their  own  'hearts,  Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord; 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Woe  unto  the  foolish  prophets, 
that  ffollow  their  own  spirit,  ||and  have  seen  nothing! 

4  O  Is'ra-el,  thy  prophets  are  "like  the  foxes  in  the  deserts. 

5  Ye  ''have  not  gone  up  into  the  1 1  gaps,  neither  fmade  up  the 
hedge  for  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  to  stand  in  the  battle  in  the 
day  of  the  Lord. 

6  'They  have  seen  vanity  and  lying  divination,  saying.  The 
Lord  saith :  and  the  Lord  hath  not  sent  them :  and  they 
have  made  others  to  hope  that  they  would  confirm  the  word. 

7  Have  ye  not  seen  a  vain  vision,  and  have  ye  not  spoken 
a  lying  divination,  whereas  ye  say,  The  Lord  saith  it,  albeit 
I  have  not  spoken? 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Because  ye  have 
spoken  vanity,  and  seen  lies,  therefore,  behold,  I  am  against 
you,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

9  And  mine  hand  shall  be  upon  the  prophets  that  see 
vanity,  and  that  divine  lies:  they  shall  not  be  in  the 
II assembly  of  my  people,  •^neither  shall  they  be  written  in 
the  writing  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  "neither  shall  they  enter 
into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el ;  ''and  ye  shall  know  that  I  avi  the 
Lord  God. 

10  ^Because,  even  because  they  have  seduced  my  people, 
saying,  'Peace ;   and   there  xoas  no  peace ;  and  one  built  up 

a  wall,  and,  lo,  others  *daubed  it  with  untemjjered  mortar  : 

11  Say  unto  them  Avhich  daub  it  with  untempered  mortar, 
that  it  shall  fall:  'there  shall  be  an  overflowing  shower; 
and  ye,  O  great  hailstones,  shall  fall ;  and  a  stormy  wind 
shall  rend  it. 

12  Lo,  when  the  wall  is  fallen,  shall  it  not  be  said  unto 
you,  AVhere  is  the  daubing  wherewith  ye  have  daubed  it? 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  I  will  even  rend 
it  with  a  stormy  wind  in  my  fury;  and  there  shall  be  an 
overflowing  shower  in  mine  anger,  and  great  hailstones  in 
my  fury  to  consume  it. 

14  So  will  I  break  down  the  wall  that  ye  have  daubed  with 
untempered  mortar,  and  bring  it  down  to  the  ground,  so  that 
the  foundation  thereof  shall  be  discovered,  and  it  shall  fall, 
and  ye  shall  be  consumed  in  the  midst  thereof :  ""and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

15  Thus  will  I  accomplish  my  wrath  upon  the  wall,  and 
upon  them  that  have  daubed  it  with  untempered  mortar,  and 
will  say  unto  you.  The  wall  is  no  more,  neither  they  that 
daubed  it; 

16  To  wit,  the  prophets  of  Is'ra-el  which  prophesy  con- 
cerning Je-ru'sa-Iem,  and  which  "see  visions  oi  peace  for 
her,  and  there  is  no  peace,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

17  ^Likewise,  thou  son  of  man,  "set  thy  face  against  the 
daughters  of  thy  people,  ''which  prophesy  out  of  their  own 
heart ;  and  prophesy  thou  against  them, 

18  And  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Woe  to  the  women 
that  sew  pillows  to  all  ||armholes,  and  make  kerchiefs  upon 
the  head  of  every  stature  to  hunt  souls!  Will  ye  'hunt  the 
souls  of  my  people,  and  will  ye  save  the  souls  alive  that 
come  unto  you? 

19  And  will  ye  pollute  me  among  my  people  ""for  handfuls 
of  barley  and  for  pieces  of  bread,  to  slay  the  souls  that 
should  not  die,  and  to  save  the  souls  alive  that  should  not 
live,  by  your  lying  to  my  people  that  hear  your  lies? 

20  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold  I  am 
against  your  pillows,  wherewith  ye  there  hunt  the  souls  ||to 
make  them  fly,  and  I  will  tear  them  from  your  arms,  and 
will  let  the  souls  go,  even  the  souls  that  ye  hunt  to  make 
them  fly. 


18 

And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against  the  prophets  of 
Is'ra-el  that  prophesy,  and  say  thou  unto  them  that 
prophesy  out  of  their  own  heart.   Hear  ye  the  word 

3  of  the  Lord  ;  Thus  .saith  the  Lord  God  :  Woe  unto 
the  foolish  prophets  that  follow  their  own   spirit, 

4 'and  have  seen  nothing!      O  Is'ra-el,  thy  prophets 

5  have  been  like  foxes  in  the  waste  places.  Ye 
have  not  gone  up  into  the  ^gaps,  neither  made  up 
the  fence  for  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  to  stand  in  the 

6  battle  in  the  day  of  the  Lord.  They  have  seen 
vanity  and  lying  divination,  that  say.  The  Lord 
saith;  and  the  Lord  hath  not  sent  them:  and  they 
^have  made  men  to  hope  that  the  word  should  be 

7  confirmed.  Have  ye  not  seen  a  vain  vi.sion,  and 
have  ye  not  spoken  a  lying  divination,  Avhereas  ye 
say.  The  Lord  saith ;  albeit  I  have  not  spoken  ? 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Because  ye 
have  spoken  vanity,  and  seen  lies,  therefore,  behold, 

9  I  am  against  you,  saith  the  Lord  GoD.  And  mine 
hand  shall  be  against  the  prophets  that  see  vanity, 
and  that  divine  lies:  they  shall  not  be  in  the  ^council 
of  my  people,  neither  shall  they  be  written  in  the 
'writing  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  neither  shall  they 
enter  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el;   and  ye  shall  know 

10  that  I  am  the  Lord  God.  Because,  even  because  they 
have  seduced  my  people,  saying.  Peace;  and  there  is 
no  peace ;  and  when  one  buildeth  up  'a  wall,  behold, 

1 1  they  daub  it  with  untempered  mortar:  say  unto  them 
which  daub  it  with  untempered  mortar,  that  it  shall 
fall :  there  shall  be  an  overflowing  shower ;  and  ye, 

0  great  hailstones,   shall  fall ;   and  a  stormy  wind 

12  shall  rend  it.  Lo,  when  the  wall  is  fallen,  shall  it 
not  be  said  unto  you.  Where  is  the  daubing  where- 

13 with  ye  have  daubed  it?  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  I  will  even  rend  it  with  a  stormy  wind 
in  my  fury;  and  there  shall  be  an  overflowing 
shower    in    mine    anger,    and    great    hailstones    in 

14  fury  to  consume  it.  So  will  I  break  down  the  wall 
that  ye  have  daubed  with  untempered  mortar,  and 
bring  it  down  to  the  ground,  so  that  the  fouudation 
thereof  shall  be  discovered :  and  it  shall  fall,  and 
ye    shall  be  consumed  in  the  midst  thereof;    and 

15  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  Thus  will 
t  accomplish  my  fury  upon  the  wall,  and  upon  them 
that  have  daubed  it  with  untempered  mortar;  and 

1  will  say  unto  you.  The  wall  is  no  more,  neither 
16 they  that  daubed  it;  to  wit,  the  prophets  of  Is'ra-el 

which  prophesy  concerning  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  which 
see  visions  of  peace  for  her,  and  there  is  no  peace, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

17  And  thou,  son  of  man,  set  thy  face  against  the 
daughters  of  thy  people,  which  prophesy  out  of 
their  own  heart;  and  prophesy  thou  against  them, 

18 and  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Woe  to  the 
women  that  sew  pillows  upon  all  'elbows,  and  make 
kerchiefs  for  the  head  of  persons  o/"  every  stature  to 
hunt  souls !     'Will  ye  hunt  the  souls  of  my  people, 

19  and  save  souls  alive 'for  yourselves  ?     And  ye  aave 

i)rofaned  me  among  my  people  for  handfuls  of  bar- 
ey  and  for  pieces  of  bread  to  slay  the  souls  that 
should  not  die,  and  to  save  the  souls  alive  that 
should  not  live,  by  your  lying  to  my  people  that 

20  hearken  unto  lies.  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God:  Behold  I  am  against  your  pillows,  "wherewith 
ye  there  hunt  the  souls  "to  make  them  fly,  and  I  will 
tear  them  from  your  arms ;  and  I  will  let  the  souls 
go,  even  the  souls  that  ye  hunt  "to  make  them  fly.

hands  of  the  wicked,  that  he  should  not  return  from  his

CHAPTER  XIV. 

Hypocrites  reproved,  who  inquire  of  God  with  idolatry  in  their  hearts. 

THEN  "came  certain  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  unto  me,  and 
sat  before  me. 

2  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

3  Son  of  man,  these  men  have  set  up  their  idols  in  their 
heart,  and  put  'the  stumblingblock  of  their  iniquity  before 
their  face :  "should  I  be  inquired  of  at  all  by  them  ? 

4  Therefore  speak  unto  them,  and  say  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Every  man  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  that 
setteth  up  his  idols  in  his  heart,  and  putteth  the  stumbling- 
block  of  his  iniquity  before  his  face,  and  cometh  to  the 
prophet;  I  the  Lord  will  answer  him  that  cometh  accord- 
ing to  the  multitude  of  his  idols ; 

5  That  I  may  take  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  in  their  own  heart, 
because  they  are  all  estranged  from  me  through  their  idols. 

6  ^Therefore  say  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Repent,  and  turn  \\yourselves  from  your 
idols;  and  turn  away  your  feces  from  all  your  abominations. 

7  For  every  one  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  or  of  the  stranger 
that  sojourneth  in  Is'ra-el,  which  separateth  himself  from 
me,  and  setteth  up  his  idols  in  his  heart,  and  putteth  the  stum- 
blingblock of  his  iniquity  before  his  face,  and  cometh  to  a 
prophet  to  inquire  of  him  concerning  me ;  I  the  Lord  will 
answer  him  by  myself: 

8  And  ''I  will  set  my  face  against  that  man,  and  will  make 
him  a  "sign  and  a  proverb,  and  I  will  cut  him  off  from  the 
midst  of  my  people ;  -'and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

9  And  if  the  prophet  be  deceived  when  he  hath  spoken  a 
thing,  I  the  Lord  "have  deceived  that  prophet,  and  I  will 
stretch  out  my  hand  upon  him,  and  will  destroy  him  from 
the  midst  of  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

10  And  they  shall  bear  the  punishment  of  their  iniquity : 
the  punishment  of  the  prophet  shall  be  even  as  the  punish- 
ment of  him  that  setketh  unto  him  ; 

11  That  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  may  *go  no  more  astray  from 
me,  neither  be  polluted  any  more  with  all  their  trangres- 
sions ;  "but  that  they  may  be  my  people,  and  I  may  be  their 
God,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

12  ^The  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  to  me,  saying, 

13  Son  of  man,  when  the  land  sinneth  against  me  by  tres- 
passing grievously,  then  will  I  stretch  out  mine  hand  upon 
it,  and  will  break  the  *staff  of  the  bread  thereof,  and  will 
send  famine  upon  it,  and  will  cut  off  man  and  beast  from  it ; 

14  'Though  these  three  men,  No'ah,  Dan'iel,  and  Job, 
were  in  it,  they  should  deliver  but  their  own  souls  "by  their 
righteousness,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  ^If  I  cause  "noisome  beasts  to  pass  through  the  land, 
and  they  ||  spoil  it,  so  that  it  be  desolate,  that  no  man  may 
pass  through  because  of  the  beasts : 

16  "Though  these  three  men  were  fin  it,  as  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver  neither  sons  nor  daughters ; 
they  only  shall  be  delivered,  but  the  land  shall  be  desolate. 

17  %Qr  if  ''I  bring  a  sword  upon  that  land,  and  say, 
Sword,  go  through  the  land;  so  that  I  'cut  off  man  and 
beast  from  it : 

18  "Though  these  three  men  were  iu  it,  as  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver  neither  sons  nor  daughters, 
but  they  only  shall  be  delivered  themselves. 


21  Your  kerchiefs  also  will  I  tear,  and  deliver  my  people 
out  of  your  hand,  and  they  shall  be  no  more  in  your 
hand  to  be  hunted ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 

22  Lord.  Because  with  lies  ye  have  grieved  the  heart 
of  the  righteous,  whom  I  have  not  made  sad ;  and 
strengthened  the  hands  of  the  wicked,  that  he  should 
not  return  from  his  wicked  way,  'and  be  saved  alive 

23  therefore  ye  shall  no  more  see  vanity,  nor  divine 
divinations :  and  I  will  deliver  my  people  out  of 
your  hand ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

X^  Then  came  certain  of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  unto 

2  me,  and  sat  before  me.     And  the  word  of  the  Lord 

3  came  unto  me,  saying.  Son  of  man,  these  men  have 
^taken  their  idols  into  their  heart,  and  put  the  stum- 
blingblock of  their  iniquity  before  their  face  :  should 

41  be  inquired  of  at  all  by  them?  Therefore  speak 
unto  them,  and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  :  Every  man  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  that  taketh 
his  idols  into  his  heart,  and  putteth  the  stumbling- 
block  of  his  iniquity  before  his  face,  and  cometh  to 
the  prophet ;  I  the  Lord  will  answer  him  Hherein 

5 according  to  the  multitude  of  his  idols;  that  I  may 
take  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  in  their  own  heart,  because 
they  are  all  estranged  from  me  through  their  idols. 

6  Therefore  say  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  :  Return  ye,  and  turn  yourselves  from 
your  idols ;  and  turn  away  your  faces  from  all  your 

7  abominations.  For  every  one  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
or  of  the  strangers  that  sojourn  in  Is'ra-el,  which 
separateth  himself  from  me,  and  taketh  his  idols  into 
his  heart,  and  putteth  the  stumblingblock  of  his 
iniquity  before  his  face,  and  cometh  to  the  prophet 
to  inquire  *for  himself  of  me ;  I  the  Lord  will  answer 

8  him  by  myself:  and  I  will  set  my  face  against  that  man, 
and  will  make  him  an  a.stonishment,  for  a  sign  and 
a  proverb,  and  I  mil  cut  him  off  from  the  midst 
of   my    people ;  and   ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 

9  Lord.  Ana  if  the  prophet  be  'deceived  and  speak- 
eth  a  word,  I  the  Lord  have  deceived  that 
prophet,  and  I  will  stretch  out  my  hand  upon  him, 
and  will  destroy  him  from  the  midst  of  my  people 

10 Is'ra-el.  And  they  shall  bear  "their  iniquity:  the 
iniquity  of  the  prophet  shall  be  even  as  the  iniquity 

11  of  him  that  seeketh  unto  him;  that  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  may  go  no  more  astray  from  me,  neither  de- 
file themselves  any  more  with  all  their  transgres- 
sions ;  but  that  they  may  be  my  people,  and  I  may 
be  their  God,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

12  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 
13ing,  Son   of  man,  when  a  land  sinneth  against  me 

by  committing  a  trespass,  and  I  stretch  out  mine 
hand  upon  it,  and  break  the  staff  of  the  bread 
thereof,  and  send  famine  upon  it,  and  cut  off  from 
14 it  man  and  beast;  though  these  three  men,  No'ah, 
Dan'iel,  and  Job,  were  in  it,  they  should  deliver  but 
their  own    souls    by    their   righteousness,  saith  the 

15  Lord  God.  If  I  cause  noisome  beasts  to  pass 
through  the  land,  and  they  ^spoil  it,  so  that  it  be 
desolate,    that    no   man   may    pass   through  because 

16  of  the  beasts;  though  these  three  men  were  in  it, 
as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver 
neither  sons  nor  daughters;  they  only  shall  be  de- 

17  livered,  but  the  land  shall  be  desolate.  Or  if  I  bring 
a  sword  upon  that  land,  and  say, 'Sword,  go  through 
the  land;  so  that  I  cut  off  from  it  man  and  beast; 

18  though  these  three  men  were  in  it,  as  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver  neither  sons  nor  daugh- 
ters, but  they  only   shall  be  delivered  themselves.

20  "Though  No'ah,  Dan'iel,  and  Job,  were  in  it,  as  I  live, 
saith  th3  Lord  God,  they  shall  deliver  neither  son  nor

21  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  ]1How  much  more 
whon  ''I  send  my  four  sore  judgments  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the

CHAPTER     XV. 

T/te  rejection  of  Jerusalem  foreshewn. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  What   is  the  vine  tree  more  than  any 
tree,  or  than  a  branch  which  is  among  the  trees  of  the  forest  ? 

3  Shall  wood  be  taken  thereof  to  do  any  work  ?  or  will 
men  take  a  pin  of  it  to  hang  any  vessel  thereon  ? 

4  Behold,  "it  is  cast  into  the  fire  for  fuel ;  the  fire  devoureth 
both  the  ends  of  it,  and  the  midst  of  it  is  burned,  fls  it 
meet  for  any  work  ? 

5  Behold,  when  it  was  whole,  it  was  fmeet  for  no  work: 
how  much  less  shall  it  be  meet  yet  for  any  work,  when  the 
fire  hath  devoured  it,  and  it  is  burned? 

6  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  As  the  vine  tree 
among  the  trees  of  the  forest,  which  I  have  given  to  the 
fire  for  fuel,  so  will  I  give  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7  And  'I  will  set  my  face  against  them ;  ""they  shall  go  out 
from  one  fire,  and  another  fire  shall  devour  them ;  ''and  ye  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  set  my  face  against  them. 

8  And  I  will  make  the  land  desolate,  because  they  have 
fcommitted  a  trespass,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER    XVI. 

God^s  extraordinary  love  toward  Jerusalem. 

AGAIN  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  ofman,''cause  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  know  her  abominations, 

3  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem; 
Thy  tbirth  ""and  thy  nativity  is  of  the  land  of  Ca'naan ;  'thy 
father  was  an  Am'o-rite,  and  thy  mother  a  Hit'tite. 

4  And  as  for  thy  nativity,  ''in  the  day  thou  wast  born  thy 
navel  was  not  cut,  neither  wast  thou  washed  in  water  ||to 
supple  thee;  thou  wast  not  .salted  at  all,  nor  swaddled  at  all. 

5  None  eye  pitied  thee,  to  do  any  of  these  unto  thee,  to 
have  compassion  upon  thee ;  but  thou  wast  cast  out  in  the 
open  field,  to  the  loathing  of  thy  person,  in  the  day  that 
thou  wast  born. 

6  ^And  when  I  passed  by  thee,  and  saw  thee  ||  polluted 
in  thine  own  blood,  I  said  unto  thee  tvhen  thou  wast  'in  thy 
blood.  Live ;  yea,  I  said  unto  thee  when  thou  wad  in  thy 
blood.  Live. 

7  *I  have  fcaused  thee  to  multiply  as  the  bud  of  the  field, 
and  thou  hast  increased  and  waxen  great,  and  thou  art 
come  to  fexcellent  ornaments :  thy  breasts  are  feshioned, 
and  thine  hair  is  grown,  whereas  thou  wast  naked  and  bare. 

8  Now  when  I  passed  by  thee,  and  looked  upon  thee, 
behold,  thy  time  was  the  time  of  love;  •'and  I  spread  my 
skirt  over  thee,  and  covered  thy  nakedness :  yea,  I  sware 
unto  thee,  and  entered  into  a  covenant  with  thee,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  and  'thou  becaraest  mine. 

9  Then  washed  I  thee  with  water ;  yea,  I  thoroughly  washed 
away  thy  fblood  from  thee,  and  I  anointed  thee  with  oil.

19  Or  if  I  send  a  pestilence  into  that  land,  and  pour 
out  my  fury   upon  it  in  blood,  to  cut    off  from  it 

20 man  and  beast:  though  No'ah,  Dan'iel,  and  Job, 
were  in  it,  as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  they 
shall  deliver  neither  son  nor  daughter;  they  shall 
but  deliver  their  own  souls  by  their  righteousness. 

21  For  thus  .saith  the  Lord  God  :  How  much  more 
when  I  send  my  foursorej  udgements  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
the  sword  and  the  famine,  and  the  noisome  beasts, 
and  the  pestilence,  to  cut  off  from  it  man  and  beast? 

22  Yet,  behold,  therein  shall  be  left  'a  remnant  that  shall 
be  carried  forth,  both  sons  and  daughters :  behold, 
they  shall  come  forth  unto  you,  and  ye  shall  see 
their  way  and  their  doings:  and  ye  shall  be  com- 
forted concerning  the  evil  that  I  have  brought  upon 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  even  concerning  all  that  I  have  brought 

23  upon  it.  And  they  shall  comfort  you,  when  ye  see 
their  way  and  their  doings :  and  ye  shall  know  that 

1  have  not  done  ^without  cause  all  that  I  have  done 
in  it,  saith  the  Lord  GoD. 

And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  what  is  the  vine  tree  more  than  any 
tree,  the  vine  branch  which  'is  among  the  trees  of 

3 the  forest?  Shall  wood  be  taken  thereof  to  make 
any  work?  or  will  men  take  a  pin  of  it  to  hang  any 

4  ves.sel  thereon  ?  Behold,  it  is  cast  into  the  fire  for 
fuel :  the  fire  hath  devoured  both  the  ends  of  it,  and 
the  midst  of  it  is  burned ;  is  it  profitable  for  any  work  ? 

5  Behold,  when  it  was  whole,  it  was  *meet  for  no 
work:  how  much  less,  Avhen  the  fire  hath  devoured 
it,  and  it   is  burned,  shall    it  yet    be  *meet  for  any 

6  work  ?  Tlierefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  As  the 
vine  tree  among  the  trees  of  the  forest,  which  I  have 
given  to  the  fire  for  fuel,  so  'will  I  give  the  inhabit- 

7  ants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  I  will  set  my  face  against 
them  ;  they  'shall  go  forth  from  the  fire,  but  the  fire 
shall  devour  them;  and   ye   shall  know   that  I  am 

8  the  Lord,  when  I  set  my  face  against  them.  And 
I  will  make  the  land  desolate,  because  they  have 
committed  a  trespass,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

ib     Again  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 
2  ing.  Son  of  man,  cause  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  know  her 

3  abominations,  and  .say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD 
unto  Je-ru'sa-lem :  'Thy  birth  and  thy  nativity  is  of 
the  land  of  the  Ca'naan-ite ;  the  Am'o-rite  was  thy 

4  father,  and  thy  mother  was  an  Hit'tite.  And  as  for 
thy  nativity,  in  the  day  thou  wast  born  thy  navel 
was  not  cut,  neither  wast  thou  washed  in  water  to 
cleanse    thee;    thou    wast    not    salted    at   all,    nor 

5  swaddled  at  all.  None  eye  pitied  thee,  to  do  any  of 
these  unto  thee,  to  have  compassion  upon  thee ;  but 
thou  wast  cast  out  in  the  open  field,  for  that  thy 
person    was   abhorred,  in    the   day    that   thou   wast 

6  born.  And  when  I  pa.ssed  by  thee,  and  saw  thee 
weltering  in  thy  blood,  I  said  unto  thee.  Though  thou 
art  in  thy  blood,  live;  yea,  I  said  unto  thee.  Though 

7  thou  art  in  thy  blood,  live.  I  ^caused  thee  to  multiply 
as  the  bud  of  the  field,  and  thou  didst  increase  and 
wax  great,  and  thou  attainedst  to 'excellent  ornament ; 
thy  breasts  were  fa.shioned,  and  thine  hair  was  grown  ; 

8  yet  thou  wast  naked  and  bare.  Now  when  I  passed

and   entered    into  a  covenant  with   thee,  saith   the

10  I  clothed  thee  also  with  broidered  work,  and  shod 
thee  with  badgers'  skin,  and  I  girded  thee  about  with  fine 
linen,  and  I  covered  thee  with  silk. 

11  I  decked  thee  also  with  ornaments,  and  I  ''put  brace- 
lets upon  thy  hands,  'and  a  chain  on  thy  neck. 

12  And  I  put  a  jewel  on  thy  fforehead,  and  earrings  in 
thine  ears,  and  a  beautiful  crown  upon  thine  head. 

13  Thus  wast  thou  decked  with  gold  and  silver;  and  thy 
raiment  was  of  fine  linen  and  silk,  and  broidered  work; 
*thou  didst  eat  fine  flour,  and  honey,  and  oil ;  and  thou  wast 
exceeding  'beautiful,  and  thou  didst  prosper  into  a  kingdom. 

14  And  "'thy  renown  went  forth  among  the  heathen  for 
thy  beauty :  for  it  was  perfect  through  my  comeliness, 
which  I  had  put  upon  thee,  saith  the  Lord  GoD. 

15  ^"But  thou  didst  trust  in  thine  own  beauty,  "and 
playedst  the  harlot  because  of  thy  renown,  and  pouredst 
out  thy  fornications  on  every  one  that  passed  by ;  his  it  was. 

16  "And  of  thy  garments  thou  didst  take,  and  deckedst 
thy  high  places  with  divers  colours,  and  playedst  the  har- 
lot thereupon :  the  like  things  shall  not  come,  neither  shall 
it  be  so. 

17  Thou  hast  also  taken  thy  fair  jewels  of  my  gold  and 
of  my  silver,  which  I  had  given  thee,  and  madest  to  thyself 
images  fof  men,  and  didst  commit  whoredom  with  them ; 

18  And  tookest  thy  broidered  garments,  and  coveredst 
them:  and  tnou  hast  set  mine  oil  and  mine  incense  before 
tnem. 

19  «My  meat  also  which  I  gave  thee,  fine  flour  and  oil,  and 
honey,  wherewith  I  fed  thee,  thou  hast  even  set  it  before  them 
for  fa  sweet  savour :  and  thiis  it  was,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

20  ''Moreover  thou  hast  taken  thy  sous  and  thy  daugh- 
ters, whom  thou  hast  borne  unto  me,  ai'd  these  hast  thou 
sacrificed  unto  them  fto  be  devoured.  Is  'his  of  thy  whore- 
doms a  small  matter, 

21  That  thou  hast  slain  my  children,  and  delivered  them 
to  cause  them  to  pass  through  the  fire  for  them? 

22  And  in  all  thine  abominations  and  thy  whoredoms 
thou  hast  not  remembered  the  days  of  thy  'youth,  'when 
thou  wast  naked  and  bare,  and  wast  polluted  in  thy  blood. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  all  thy  wickedness,  (woe, 
woe  unto  thee,  saith  the  Lord  God,) 

24  That  "thou  hast  also  built  unto  thee  an  || eminent  place, 
and  "hast  made  thee  a  high  place  in  every  street. 

25  Thou  hast  built  thy  high  place  "at  every  head  of  the 
way,  and  hast  made  thy  beauty  to  be  abhorred,  and  hast 
opened  thy  feet  to  every  one  that  passed  by,  and  multiplied 
thy  whoredoms. 

26  Thou  hast  also  committed  fornication  with  the  E-gyp'- 
tians,  thy  neighbours,  great  of  flesh ;  and  hast  increased  thy 
whoredoms,  to  provoke  me  to  anger. 

27  Behold,  therefore  I  have  stretched  out  my  hand  over 
thee,  and  have  diminished  thine  ordinary /oorf,  and  delivered 
thee  unto  the  will  of  them  that  hate  thee,  "the  ||  daughters 
of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  which  are  ashamed  of  thy  lewd  way. 

28  'Thou  hast  played  the  whore  also  with  the  As-syr'i-ans, 
because  thou  wast  unsatiable;  yea,  thou  hast  played  the 
harlot  with  them,  and  yet  couldest  not  be  satisfied. 

29  Thou  hast,  moreover,  multiplied  thy  fornication  in  the 
land  of  Ca'uaan  ''unto  Chal-de'a ;  and  yet  thou  wast  not  sat- 
isfied herewith. 

30  How  weak  is  thine  heart,  saith  the  Lord  God,  seeing 
thou  doest  all  these  things,  the  work  of  an  imperious  whorish 
woman ; 

31  II  In  that  ''thou  buildest  thine  eminent  place  in  the  head 
of  every  way,  and  makest  thine  high  place  in  every  street; 
and  hast  not  been  as  a  harlot,  in  that  thou  scornest  hire ; 

32  But  as  a  wife  that  committeth  adultery,  which  taketh 
strangers  instead  of  her  husband. 

33  They  give  gifts  to  all  whores :  but  thou  givest  thy  gifts 


101  clothed  thee  also  with  broidered  work,  and  shod 
thee  with  'sealskin,  and  I  ^girded  thee  about  with 

11  fine  linen,  and  covered  thee  with  silk.  I  decked  thee 
also  with  ornaments,  and  I  put  bracelets  upon  thy 

12  hands,  and  a  chain  on  thy  neck.  And  I  put  a  ring 
upon   thy  nose,  and  earrings  in  thine  ears,  and  a 

13  beautiful  crown  upon  thine  head.     Thus  wast  thou 
decked  with  gold  and  silver;  and  thy  raiment  was 
of  fine  linen,  and  silk,  and  broidered  work ;  thou  didst 
eat  fine  flour,  and  honey,  and  oil :  and  thou  wast  ex 
ceeding  beautiful,  and  thou  didst  prosper  unto  royal 

14  estate.  And  thy  renown  went  forth  among  the  nations 
for  thy  beauty ;  for  it  was  perfect,  through  my  majesty 
which  I  had  put  upon  thee,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  But  thou  didst  trust  in  thy  beauty,  and  playedst 
the  harlot  because  of  thy  renown,  and  pouredst  out 
thy  whoredoms  on  every  one  that  passed  by ;  his  it 

16  was.  And  thou  didst  take  of  thy  garments,  and 
madest  for  thee  high  places  decked  with  divers 
colours,  and  playedst  the  harlot  upon  them :  the  like 

n  things  shall  not  come,  neither  shall  it  be  so.  Thou 
didst  also  take  thy  'fair  jewels  of  my  gold  and  ot 
my  silver,  which  I  had  given  thee,  and  madest  for 
thee  ^images  of  men,  and  didst  play  the  harlot  with 

18 them;  and  thou  tookest  thy  broidered  garments, 
and  coveredst  them,  and  didst  set  mine  oil  and  mine 

19  incense  before  them.  My  bread  also  which  I  gave 
thee,  fine  flour,  and  oil,  and  honey,  wherewith 
fed  thee,  thou  didst  even  set  it  before  them  for  a 
sweet  savour,  and  thus  it  was;  saith  the  Lord  God, 

20  Moreover  thou  hast  taken  thy  sons  and  thy  daugh- 
ters, whom  thou  hast  borne  unto  me,  and  these 
hast    thou    sacrificed    unto    them    to    be    devoured 

21  Were  thy  whoredoms  a  small  matter,  that  thou 
hast  slain  my  children,  and  delivered  them  up, 
in   'causing    them    to    pass    through    the  fire   unto 

22 them?  And  in  all  thine  abominations  and  thy 
whoredoms  thou  hast  not  remembered  the  days 
of   thy  youth,   when    thou   wast   naked   and    bare, 

23  and  wast  weltering  in  thy  blood.  And  it  is  come 
to  pass  after  all   thy  wickedness,   (woe,   woe   unto 

24 thee!  saith  the  Lord  God,)  that  thou  hast  built  unto 
thee  "'an  eminent  place,  and  hast  made  thee  a  lofty 

25  place  in  every  street.  Thou  hast  built  thy  lofty 
place  at  every  head  of  the  way,  and  hast  made  thy 
beauty  an  abomination,  and  hast  opened  thy  feet  to 
every  one  that  passed  by,  aud  multiplied  thy  whore- 

26dom.  Thou  hast  also  committed  fornication  with 
the  E-gyp'tians,  thy  neighbours,  great  of  flesh ;  and 
hast  multiplied  thy  whoredom,  to  provoke  me  to 

27  anger.  Behold  therefore,  I  have  stretched  out  my 
hand  over  thee,  and  have  diminished  thine  'ordinary 
Jood,  and  delivered  thee  unto  the  will  of  them  that 
hate  thee,  the  daughters  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  which 

28  are  ashamed  of  thy  lewd  way.  Thou  hasi  played 
the  harlot  also  with  the  As-syr'i-ans,  because  thou 
wa.st  unsatiable;   yea,  thou   hast  played  the  harlot 

29  with  them,  and  yet  thou  wast  not  satisfied.  Thou 
hast  moreover  multiplied  thy  whoredom  *in  the  land 
of  Ca'naan,  unto  Chal-de'a;  and  yet  thou  wast  not 

30  satisfied  herewith.  How  weak  is  thine  heart,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  seeing  thou  doest  all  these  things, 

31  the  work  of  an  imperious  whorish  woman;  in  that 
thou  buildest  thine  eminent  place  in  the  head  of 
every  way,  and  makest  thy  lofty  place  in  every  street ; 
and  hast  not  been  as  an  harlot, 'in  that  thou  scorn- 

32  est  hire.     A  wife  that  committeth  adultery !   that 

33  taketh  strangers  instead  of  her  husband !  They 
give  gifts  to  all  harlots:  but  thou  givest  thy  gifts

to  all  thy  lovers,  and  fhirest  them,  that  they  may  come  unto 
thee  on  every  side  for  thy  whoredom. 

34  And  the  contrary  is  in  thee  from  other  women  in  thy 
whoredoms,  whereas  none  followeth  thee  to  commit  whore- 
doms: and  in  that  thou  givest  a  reward,  and  no  reward  is 
given  unto  thee ;  therefore  thou  art  contrary. 

35  ^Wherefore,  O  harlot,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord: 

36  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Because  thy  filthiness  was 
poured  out,  and  thy  nakedness  discovered  through  thy 
whoredoms  with  thy  lovers,  and  with  all  the  idols  of  thy 
abominations,  and  by -^ the  blood  of  thy  children,  which  thou 
didst  give  unto  them ; 

37  Behold,  therefore  'I  will  gather  all  thy  lovers,  with 
whom  thou  hast  taken  pleasure,  and  all  them  that  thou  hast 
loved,  with  all  them  tnat  thou  hast  hated :  I  will  even 
gather  them  round  about  against  thee,  and  will  discover  thy 
nakedness  unto  them,  that  they  may  see  all  thy  nakedness. 

38  And  I  will  judge  thee,  fas  'women  that  break  wedlock 
and  'shed  blood  are  judged ;  and  I  will  give  thee  blood  in 
fury  and  jealousy. 

39  And  I  will  also  give  thee  into  their  hand,  and  they 
shall  throw  down  Hhine  eminent  place,  and  shall  break 
down  thy  high  places:  'they  shall  strip  thee  also  of  thy 
clothes,  and  shall  take  fthy  fair  jewels,  and  leave  thee  naked 
and  bare. 

40  "They  shall  also  bring  up  a  company  against  thee, 
'and  they  shall  stone  thee  with  stones,  and  thrust  thee 
through  with  their  swords. 

41  And  they  shall  "burn  thine  houses  with  fire,  and  'exe- 
cute judgments  upon  thee  in  the  sight  of  many  women ; 
and  I  will  cause  thee  to  'cease  from  playing  the  harlot,  and 
thou  also  shalt  give  no  hire  any  more. 

42  So  ''will  I  make  my  fury  toward  thee  to  rest,  and  my 
jealousy  shall  depart  from  thee,  and  I  will  be  quiet,  and  will 
be  no  more  angry. 

43  Because  'thou  hast  not  remembered  the  days  of  thy 
youth,  but  hast  fretted  me  in  all  these  things ;  behold,  there- 
fore 'I  also  will  recompense  thy  way  upon  thine  head,  saith 
the  Lord  God:  and  thou  shalt  not  commit  this  lewdness 
above  all  thine  abominations. 

44  ^Behold,  every  one  that  useth  proverbs  shall  use  this 
proverb  against  thee  saying.  As  is  the  mother,  so  is  her 
daughter. 

45  Thou  art  thy  mother's  daughter,  that  loatheth  her 
husband  and  her  children :  and  thou  art  the  sister  of  thy 
sisters,  which  loathed  their  husbands  and  their  children : 
"your  mother  was  a  Hit'tite,  and  your  father  an  Am'o-rite. 

46  And  thine  elder  sister  is  Sa-ma'ri-a,  she  aud  her  daughters 
that  dwell  at  thy  left  hand :  and  ''fthy  younger  sister,  that 
dwelleth  at  thy  right  hand,  is  Sod'om  and  her  daughters. 

47  Yet  hast  thou  not  walked  after  their  ways,  nor  done 
after  their  abominations,  but  ||as  if  that  were  a  very  little 
thing,  "thou  wast  corrupted  more  than  they  in  all  thy  ways. 

48  As  I  live  saith  the  Lord  God,  'Sod'om  thy  sister  hath 
not  done,  she  nor  her  daughters,  as  thou  hast  done,  thou 
and  thy  daughters. 

49  Behold,  this  was  the  iniquity  of  thy  sister  Sod'om,  pride, 
"fulness  of  bread,  and  abundance  of  idleness  was  in  her  and 
in  her  daughters,  neither  did  she  strengthen  the  hand  of  the 
poor  and  needy. 

50  And  they  were  haughty,  and  'committed  abomination 
before  me :  therefore  'I  took  them  away  as  I  saw  good. 

51  Neither  hath  Sa-ma'ri-a  committed  half  of  thy  sins:  but 
thou  hast  multiplied  thine  abominations  more  than  they, 
and  "Tiast  justified  tliy  sisters  in  all  thine  abominations 
which  thou  hast  done. 

52  Thou  also,  which  hast  judged  thy  sisters,  bear  thine  own 
shame  for  [thy  sins  that  thou  hast  committed  more  abomi- 
nable than  they :  they  are  more  righteous  than  thou  :  yea,  be 


to  all  thy  lovers,  and  bribest  them,  that  they  may  come 

34  unto  thee  on  every  side  for  thy  whoredoms.  And  the 
contrary  is  in  thee  from  other  women  in  thy  whore- 
doms, in  that  none  followeth  thee  to  commit  whore- 
dom: and  whereas  thou  givest  hire,  and  no  hire  is 
given  unto  thee,  therefore  thou  art  contrary. 

35  Wherefore,  O  harlot,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  : 

36  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  because  thy  'filthiness 
was  poured  out,  and  thy  nakedness  discovered 
through  thy  whoredoms  with  thy  lovers;  and  be- 
cause of  all  the  idols  of  thy  abominations,  and  for 
the   blood  of  thy  children,  which   thou  didst  give 

37  unto  them ;  therefore  behold,  I  will  gather  all  thy 
lovers,  with  whom  thou  hast  taken  pleasure,  and  all 
them  that  thou  hast  loved,  with  all  them  that  thou 
hast  hated ;  I  will  even  gather  them  against  thee  on 
every   side,   and   will  discover  thy   nakedness  unto 

38  thera,  that  they  may  see  all  thy  nakedness.  And  I 
will  judge  thee,  as  women  that  break  wedlock  and 
shed  blood  are  judged ;  and  I  will  bring  upon  thee 

39  the  blood  of  fury  and  jealousy.  I  will  also  give 
thee  into  their  hand,  and  they  shall  throw  down 
thine  eminent  place,  and  break  down  thy  lofty  places  ; 
and  they  shall  strip  thee  of  thy  clothes,  and  take  thy 
fair  jewels :  and  they  shall  leave  thee  naked  and  bare 

40  They  shall  also  bring  up  an  a.ssembly  against  thee, 
and  they  shall   stone  thee  with  stones,  and  thrust 

41  thee  through  with  their  swords.  And  they  shall 
burn  thine  houses  with  fire,  and  execute  judgements 
upon  thee  in  the  sight  of  many  women ;  and  I  will 
cause  thee  to  cease  from  playing  the  harlot,  and  thou 

42  shalt  also  give  no  hire  any  more.  So  will  I  ^satisfy 
my  fury  'upon  thee,  aud  my  jealousy  shall  depart 
from  thee,  and  I  will  be  quiet,  and  will  be  no  more 

43 angry.     Because  thou  hast  not  remembered  the  days 
of  thy  youth,  but  hast  fretted  me  in  all  these  things; 
therefore  behold,  I  also  will  bring  thy  way  upon  thine 
head,  saith  the  Lord  God  :  and  *thou  shalt  not  com 
niit  this  lewdness  above  all  thine  abominations. 

44  Behold,  every  one  that  useth  proverbs  shall  use 
this  proverb  against  thee,  saying.  As  is  the  mother, 

45  so  is  her  daughter.  Thou  art  thy  mother's  daugh- 
ter, that  loatheth  her  husband  and  her  children ;  and 
thou  art  the  sister  of  thy  sisters,  which  loathed  their 
husbands  and   their  children :  your  mother  was  an 

46  Hit'tite,  and  your  father  an  Am'o-rite.  And  thine 
elder  sister  is  Sa-ma'ri-a,  that  dwelleth  at  thy  left 
hand,  she  and  her  daughters :  and  thy  younger  sis- 
ter, that  dwelleth  at  thy  right  hand,  is  Sod'om  and 

47  her  daughters.  Yet  hast  thou  not  walked  in  their 
ways,  nor  done  after  their  abominations ;  but,  as  if 
that  were  a  very  little  thing,  thou  wast  more  corrupt 

48  than  they  in  all  thy  ways.  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Sod'om  thy  sister  hath  not  done,  she  nor  her 
daughters,  as  thou  hast  done,  thou  and  thy  daugh- 

49  ters.  Behold,  this  was  the  iniquity  of  thy  sister  Sod'- 
om ;  pride,  fulness  of  bread,  and  prosperous  ease 
was    in   her  and  in  her  daughters;  neither  did  she 

50  strengthen  the  hand  of  the  poor  aud  needy.  And 
they  were  haughty,  and  committed  abomination  be- 
fore me :  therefore  I  took  them  away  'as  I  saw  good. 

51  Neither  hath  Sa-ma'ri-a  committed  half  of  thy  sins ; 
but  thou  hast,  multiplied  thine  abominations  more 
than    they,    and    hast  justified    thy    sisters    by   all 

52  thine  abominations  which  thou  hast  done.  Thou 
also,  bear  thine  own  shame,  in  that  thou  hast 
given  judgement  for  thy  "sisters;  through  thy  sins 
that  thou  hast  committed  more  abominable  than 
they,  they  are  more  righteous  than  thou:  yea,  be

thou  confounded  also,  and  bear  thy  shame  in  that  thou  hast 
justified  thy  sisters. 

53  'When  I  shall  bring  again  their  captivity,  •'the  captivity 
of  Sod'om  and  her  daughters,  and  the  captivity  of  Sa-ma'ri-a 
and  her  daughters,  then  will  I  bring  again  the  captivity  of 
thy  captives  in  the  midst  of  them : 

54  That  thou  mayest  bear  thine  own  shame,  and  mayest 
be  confounded  in  all  that  thou  hast  done,  in  that  thou  art 
'a  comfort  unto  them. 

55  When  thy  sisters,  Sod'om  and  her  daughters,  shall 
return  to  their  former  estate,  and  Sa-ma'ri-a  and  her  daugh- 
ters shall  return  to  their  former  estate,  then  thou  and  thy 
daughters  shall  return  to  your  former  estate. 

56  For  thy  sister  Sod'om  was  not  fnientioned  by  thy 
mouth  in  the  day  of  thy  fpride, 

57  Before  thy  wickedness  was  discovered,  as  at  the  time 
of  thy  *reproach  of  the  daughters  of  fSyr'i-a,  and  all  that 
are  round  about  her,  'the  daughters  of  the  Phi-lis'tines, 
which  II  despise  thee  round  about. 

58  'Thou  hast  fborne  thy  lewdness  and  thine  abomina- 
tions, saith  the  Lord. 

59  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  I  will  even  deal  with 
thee  as  thou  hast  done,  which  hast  'despised  "the  oath  in 
breaking  the  covenant. 

60  ^Nevertheless,  I  will  "remember  my  covenant  with 
thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth,  and  I  will  establish  unto  thee 

an  everlasting  covenant. 

61  Then  "thou  shalt  remember  thy  ways,  and  be  ashamed, 
when  thou  shalt  receive  thy  sisters,  thine  elder  and  thy 
younger :  and  I  will  give  them  unto  thee  for  'daughters,  'but 
not  by  thy  covenant. 

62  'And  I  will  establish  my  covenant  with  thee;  and  thou 
shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord: 

63  That  thou  mayest  'remember,  and  be  confounded,  "and 
never  open  thy  mouth  any  more  because  of  thy  shame, 
when  I  am  pacified  toward  thee  for  all  that  thou  hast  done, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAF'TER   XVII. 

The  parable  of  the  two  eagles  and  the  vine. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  put  forth  a  riddle,  and  speak  a  parable 
unto  the  house  of  Is  ra-el ; 

3  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  "A  great  eagle 
with  great  wings,  long  winged,  full  of  feathers,  which  had 
tdivers  colours,  came  unto  Leb'a-non,  and  'took  the  highest 
branch  of  the  cedar : 

4  He  cropped  off  the  top  of  his  young  twigs,  and  carried 
it  into  a  land  of  traffic  ;  he  set  it  in  a  city  of  merchants. 

5  He  took  also  of  the  seed  of  the  land,and  fplanted  it  in  "^a  fruit- 
ful field ;  he  placed  it  by  great  waters,a7id  set  it  *as  a  willow  tree. 

6  And  it  grew,  and  became  a  spreading  vine  'of  low  stature, 
whose  branches  turned  toward  him,  and  the  roots  thereof 
were  under  him:  so  it  became  a  vine,  and  brought  forth 
branches,  and  shot  forth  sprigs. 

7  There  was  also  another  great  eagle  with  great  wings  and 
many  feathers:  and  behold,  ■'this  vine  did  bend  her  roots 
toward  him,  and  shot  forth  her  branches  toward  him,  that 
he  might  water  it  by  the  furrows  of  her  plantation. 

8  It  was  planted  in  a  good  fsoil  by  great  waters,  that  it 
might  bring  forth  branches,  and  that  it  might  bear  fruit, 
that  it  might  be  a  goodly  vine. 

9  Say  thou,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Shall  it  prosper? 
"shall  he  not  pull  up  the  roots  thereof,  and  cut  off  the  fruit 
thereof,  that  it  wither?  it  shall  wither  in  all  the  leaves  of  her 
spring,  even  without  great  power  or  many  people  to  pluck  it 
up  by  the  roots  thereof. 

10  Yea,  behold,  being  planted,  shall  it  prosper?  ''shall  it  not 
utterly  wither,  when  the  east  wind  toucheth  it?  it  shall 
wither  in  the  furrows  where  it  grew. 


thou  also  confounded,  and  bear  thy  shame,  in  that  thou 

53  hast  j  ustified  thy  sisters.  And  I  will  'turn  again  their 
captivity,  the  captivity  of  Sod'om  and  her  daughters 
and  the  captivity  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  and  her  daughters,  and 
the  captivity  of  thy  captives  in  the  midst  of  them 

54  that  thou  mayest  bear  thine  own  shame,  and  mayest 
be  ashamed  because  of  all  that  thou  hast  done,  in 

55  that  thou  art  a  comfort  unto  them.  And  thy  sis- 
ters, Sod'om  and  her  daughters,  shall  return  to  their 
former  estate,  and  Sa-ma'ri-a  and  her  daughters  shall 
return  to   their  former  estate,  and   thou  and   thy 

56  daughters  shall  return  to  your  former  estate.  For 
thy  sister  Sod'om  was  not  mentioned  by  thy  mouth 

57  in  the  day  of  thy  pride ;  before  thy  wickedness  was 
discovered,  as  at  the  time  of  the  reproach  of  the 
daughters  of  Syr'i-a,  and  of  all  that  are  round  about 
her,  the  daughters  of  the  Phi-lis'tines,  which  do  despite 

58  unto  thee  round  about.     Thou  hast  borne  thy  lewd 

59  ness  and  thine  abominations,  saith  the  Lord.  For 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  I  will  even  deal  with  thee 
as  thou  hast  done,  which  hast  despised  the  oath  in 

60  breaking  the  covenant.  Nevertheless  I  will  remem- 
ber my  covenant  with  thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth, 
and  I  will  establish  unto  thee  an  everlasting  cove- 

61  nant.  Then  shalt  thou  remember  thy  ways  and  be 
ashamed,  when  thou  shalt  receive  thy  sisters,  thine 
elder  sisters  and  thy  younger:  and  I  will  give  them 
unto  thee  for  daughters,  but  not  by  thy  covenant. 

62 And   I  will  establish  my  covenant  with  thee;  and 
63 thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord:   that  thou 

mayest  remember,  and   be   confounded,  and  never 

open  thy  mouth   any  more,  because  of  thy   shame; 

when  I  have  forgiven  thee  all  that  thou  hast  done, 

saith  the  Lord  God. 

i/      And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  put  forth  a  riddle,  and  speak  a  pa^-able 

3  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el;  and  say,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  :  A  great  eagle  with  great  wings  and  long 
pinions,  full  of  feathers,  which  had  divers  colours, 
came  unto  Leb'a-non,  and  took  the  top  of  tht  cedar : 

4  he  cropped  off  the  topmost  of  the  young  twigs 
thereof,  and  carried  it  into  ^a  land  of  traffic ;  he  set  it 

5  in  a  city  of  merchants.  He  took  also  of  the  seed  of 
the  land,  and  planted  it  in  'a  fruitful  soil ;  he  placed 
it  beside  *many  waters;  he  set  it  as  a  M'illow  tree. 

6  And  it  grew,  and  became  a  spreading  vine  of  low 
stature,  whose  branches  turned  toward  him,  and  the 
roots  thereof  were  under  him:  so  it  became  a  vine, 
and  brought  forth  branches,  and  shot   forth  sprigs. 

7  There  was  also  another  great  eagle  with  great  wings 
and  many  feathers :  and,  behold,  this  vine  did  bend 
its  roots  toward  him,  and  shot  forth  its  branches 
toward  him,  from  the  beds  of  its  plantation,  that  he 

8  might  water  it.  It  was  planted  in  a  good  'soil  by 
*many  waters,  that  it  might  bring  forth  branches, 
and  that  it  might  bear  fruit,  that  it  might  be  a  goodly 

9  vine.  Say  thou,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Shall  it 
prosper?  shall  he  not  pull  up  the  roots  thereof,  and 
cut  off  the  fruit  thereof,  that  it  may  wither :  that  all 
its  fresh  springing  leaves  may  wither ;  even  without 
great  power  or  much  'people  to  pluck  it  up  by  the 

10  roots  thereof?  Yea,  behold,  being  planted,  shall  it 
prosper?  shall  it  not  utterly  Avither,  when  the  east 
wind  toucheth  it?  it  shall  wither  in  the  beds  where 
it  grew.

12  Say  now  to  *the  rebellious  house,  Know  ye  not  what 
these  things  mean  f  tell  them,  Behold,  *the  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
is  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  hath  taken  the  king  thereof,  and 
the  princes  thereof,  and  led  them  with  him  to  Bab'y-lon ; 

13  'And  hath  taken  of  the  king's  seed,  and  made  a  cove- 
nant with  him,""  and  hath  ftaken  an  oath  of  him :  he  hath 
also  taken  the  mighty  of  the  land: 

14  That  the  kingdom  might  be  "base,  that  it  might  not 
lift  itself  up,  ■\but  that  by  keeping  of  his  covenant  it  might 
stand. 

15  Bat  "he  rebelled  against  him  in  sending  his  ambas- 
sadors into  E'gypt,  ''that  they  might  give  him  horses  and 
much  people.  'Shall  he  prosper?  shall  he  escape  that 
doeth  such  things?  or,  shall  he  break  the  covenant  and  be 
delivered  ? 

\%  As  1  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  surely  'in  the  place 
where  the  king  dwelleth  that  made  him  king,  whose  oath 
he  despised,  and  whose  covenant  he  brake,  even  with  him 
in  the  midst  of  Bab'y-lon  he  shall  die. 

17  'Neither  shall  Pha'raoh  with  his  mighty  array  and

when,  lo,  he  had  "given  his  hand,  and  hath  done  all  these 
things,  he  shall  not  escape. 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  As  I  live,  surely 
mine  oath  that  he  hath  despised,  and  my  covenant  that  he 
hath  broken,  even  it  will  I  recompense  upon  his  own  head. 

20  And  I  will  ''spread  my  net  upon  him,  and  he  shall  be

sword,  and  they  that  remain  shall  be  scattered  toward  all

22  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will  also  take  of  the

CHAPTER    XVIII. 

God  reproveth  the  unjust  parable  of  sour  grapes. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me  again,  saying, 
2  What  mean  ye,  that  ye  use  this  proverb  concerning 
the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  The  "fathers  have  eaten  sour 
grapes,  and  the  children's  teeth  are  set  on  edge? 

3  ^s  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  ye  shall  not  have  occa- 
sion any  more  to  use  this  proverb  in  Is'ra-el. 

4  Behold,  all  souls  are  mine ;  as  the  soul  of  the  father,  so  also 
the  soul  01  the  son  is  mine  :  'the  soul  that  sinneth,  it  shall  die. 

5  ^But  if  a  man  be  just,  and  do  fthat  which  is  lawful 
and  right, 

6  ''And  hath  not  eaten  upon  the  mountains,  neither  hath 
lifted  up  his  eyes  to  the  idols  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  neither 
hath  ''defiled  his  neighbour's  wife,  neither  hath  come  near  to 
'a  menstruous  woman, 

7  And  hath  not-^oppressed  any,  hut  hath  restored  to  the  debtor 
his 'pledge,  hath  spoi  led  none  by  violence,  hath  *given  his  bread 
to  the  hungry,  and  hath  covered  the  naked  with  a  garment ; 

8  He  <Aa<.  hath  not  given  forth  upon  'usury,  neither  hath 


11  Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 

12  saying.  Say  now  to  the  rebellious  house.  Know  ye 
not  what  these  things  mean?  tell  them.  Behold,  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  took  the 
king  thereof,  and  the  princes  thereof,  and  brought 

13  them  to  him  to  Bab'y-lon ;  and  he  took  of  the  seed 
royal,  and  made  a  covenant  with  him;  he  also 
brought   him    under  an   oath,    and   took  away  the 

14 mighty  of  the  land:  that  the  kingdom  might  be 
'base,  that  it  might  not  lift  itself  up,    but  that   by 

15  keeping  of  his  covenant  it  might  stand.  But  he 
rebelled  against  him  in  sending  his  ambassadors 
into  E'gypt,  that  they  might  give  him  horses  and 
much  people.  Shall  he  prosper?  shall  he  escape 
that  doeth  such  things?   shall   he   break   the   cove- 

1 6  nant,  and  yet  escape  ?  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  in  the  place  where  the  king  dwelleth  that 
made  him  king,  whose  oath  he  despised,  and  whose 
covenant  he  brake,  even  with  him  in  the  midst  of 

17  Bab'y-lon  he  shall  die.  Neither  shall  Pha'raoh  with 
his  mighty  army  and  great  company  make  for  him 
in  the  war,  when  they  cast  up  mounts   and   build 

18  forts,  to  cut   off  many   persons.     For  he    hath  de 
spised   the    oath    by    breaking    the    covenant;    and 
behold,  he  had  given  his  hand,  and  yet  hath  done 

19 all  these  things;  he  shall  not  escape.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  As  I  live,  surely  mine 
oath  that  he  hath  despised,  and  my  covenant  that 
he  hath  broken,  I  will  even  bring  it  upon  his  own  head, 

20  And  I  will  spread  my  net  upon  him,  and  he  shall  be 
taken  in  my  snare,  and  I  will  bring  him  to  Bab'y-lon, 
and  will  plead  with  him  there  for  his  trespass  that 

21  he  hath  trespassed  against   me.     And   all    his  fugi- 
tives in  all  his  bands  shall  fall  by  the  sword,  and  they 
that  remain  shall  be  scattered  toward  every  wind 
and  ye  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  I  will  also  take  of 
the  lofty  top  of  the  cedar,  and  will  set  it;  I  will 
cr.op  off  from  the  topmost  of  his  young  twigs  a 
tender    one,    and    I    will    plant    it    upon    an    high 

23 mountain  and  eminent:  in  the  mountain  of  the 
height  of  Is'ra-el  will  I  plant  it:  and  it  shall  bring 
forth  boughs,  and  bear  fruit,  and  be  a  goodly  cedar : 
and  under  it  shall  dwell  all  fowl  of  every  wing;  in 
the  shadow  of  the  branches  thereof  shall  they  dwell. 

24  And  all  the  trees  of  the  field  shall  know  that  I  the 
Lord  have  brought  down  the  high  tree,  have  exalted 
the  low  tree,  have  dried  up  the  green  tree,  and  have 
made  the  dry  tree  to  flourish:  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  and  have  done  it. 

■lo  The  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me  again,  say- 
2ing,  What  mean  ye,  that  ye  use  this  proverb  ^con- 
cerning the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  The  fathers  have 
eaten  sour  grapes,  and  the  children's  teeth  are  set  on 
3 edge?  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  GrOD,  ye  shall  not 
have  occasion  any  more  to  use  this  proverb  in  Is'ra-el. 
Behold,  all  souls  are  mine;  as  the  soul  of  the 
father,  so  also  the  soul  of  the  son  is  mine  :  the  soul  that 

5  sinneth,  it  shall  die.    But  if  a  man  be  just,  and  do  Hhat 

6  which  is  lawful  and  right,  and  hath  not  eaten  upon  the 
mountains,  neither  hath  lifted  up  his  eyes  to  the 
idols  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  neither  hath  defiled 
his  neighbour's  Avife,  neither  hath   come   near   to   a 

7  woman  in  her  separation  ;  and  hath  not  wronged  any, 
but  hath  restored  to  the  debtor  his  pledge,  hath  spoiled 
none  by  violence,  hath  given  his  bread  to  the 
hungry,  and  hath  covered  the  naked  with  a  garment :

the  Lord  God. 

10  ^If  he  beget  a  son  that  is  a  |I  robber,  "a  shedder  of

eaten  upon  the  mountains,  and  defiled  his  neighbour's  wife, 

12  Hath  oppressed  the  poor  and  needy,  hath  spoiled  by 
violence,  hath  not  restored  the  pledge,  and  hath  lifted  up

shall  he  then  live  ?  he  shall  not  live :  he  hath  done  all  these 
abominations;  he  shall  surely  die;  "his  fblood  shall  be

14  ^Now,  lo,  if  he  beget  a  son,  that  seeth  all  his  father's  sins

among  his  people,  lo,  even  'he  shall  die  in  his  iniquity. 

19  1[Yet  say  ye.  Why?  ""doth  not  the  son  bear  the  in- 
iquity of  the  father  ?  When  the  son  hath  done  that  which 
is  lawful  and  right,  and  hath  kept  all  my  statutes,  and  hath 
done  them,  he  shall  surely  live. 

20  'The  soul  that  sinneth,  it  shall  die.  'The  son  shall  not 
bear  the  iniquity  of  the  father,  neither  shall  the  father  bear 
the  iniquity  of  the  son :  "the  righteousness  of  the  righteous 
shall  be  upon  him,  ''and  the  wickedness  of  the  wicked  shall 
be  upon  him. 

21  But  "if  the  wicked  will  turn  from  all  his  sins  that  he 
hath  committed,  and  keep  all  my  statutes,  and  do  that  which 
is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  surely  live,  he  shall  not  die. 

22  "All  his  transgressions  that  he  hath  committed,  they 
.shall  not  be  mentioned  unto  him:  in  his  righteousness 
that  he  hath  done  he  shall  live. 

23  "Have  I  any  pleasure  at  all  that  the  wicked  should  die? 
saith  the  Lord  God:  and  not  that  he  should  return  from 
his  ways,  and  live  ? 

24  ^But  ''when  the  righteous  turneth  away  from  his  right- 
eousness, and  committeth  iniquity,  and  doeth  according  to 
all  the  abominations  that  the  wicked  man  doeth,  shall  he 
live?  "AH  his  righteousness  that  he  hath  done  shall  not 
be  mentioned:  in  his  trespass  that  he  hath  trespassed,  and 
in  his  sin  that  he  hath  sinned,  in  them  shall  he  die. 

25  ^Yet  ye  say,  ''The  way  of  the  Lord  is  not  equal. 
Hear  now,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el ;  Is  not  my  way  equal  ?  are 
not  your  ways  unequal  ? 

26  'When  a  righteous  man  turneth  away  from  his  right- 
eousness, and  committeth  iniquity,  and  dieth  in  them;  for 
his  iniquity  that  he  hath  done  shall  he  die. 

27  Again,  •'^when  the  wicked  man  turneth  away  from  his 
wickedness  that  he  hath  committed,  and  doeth  that  which 
is  lav/ful  and  right,  he  shall  save  his  soul  alive. 

28  Because  he  "considereth,  and  turneth  away  from  all  his 
transgressions  that  he  hath  committed,  he  shall  surely  live, 
he  shall  not  die. 

29  *Yet  saith  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  The  way  of  the  Lord 


taken  any  increase,  thai  hath  withdrawn  his  hand 
from  iniquity,  hath  executed  true  judg^ement  be- 
9tween  man  and  man,  hath  walked  in  my  statutes, 
and  hath  kept  my  judgements,  to  deal  truly;  he  is 
lOjust,  he  shall  surely  live,  saith  the  Lord  GoD.  If 
he  beget  a  son  that  is  a  robber,  a  shedder  of  blood, 

11  and  'that  doeth  any  one  of  these  things,  and  that 
doeth  not  any  of  those  duties,  but  even  hath  eaten 
upon  the    mountains,   and    defiled    his    neighbour's 

12  wife,  hath  wronged  the  poor  and  needy,  hath  spoiled 
by  violence,  hath  not  restored  the  pledge,  and  hath 
lifted  up  his  eyes  to  the  idols,  hath  committed  abomi- 

13  nation,  hath  given  forth  upon  usury,  and  hath  taken 
increase:  shall  he  then  live?  he  shall  not  live:  he 
hath  done  all  the.se  abominations:    he   shall   surely 

14Mie:  his  blood  shall  be  upon  him.  Now,  lo,  if  he 
beget  a  son,  that  seeth  all  his  father's  sins,  which  he 
hath    done,   and    'feareth,  and  doeth  not  such  like, 

15  that  hath  not  eaten  upon  the  mountains,  neither 
hath  lifted  up  his  eyes  to  the  idols  of  the  hou.se  of 

16  Is'ra-el,  hath  not  defiled  his  neighbour's  wife,  neither 
hath  wronged  any,  hath  not  taken  aught  to  pledge, 
neither  hath  spoiled  by  violence,  but  hath  given  his 
bread  to  the  hungry,  and  hath  covered  the    naked 

17  with  a  garment,  that  hath  withdrawn  his  hand  from 
the  poor,  that  hath  not  received  usury  nor  increase, 
hath  executed  my  judgements,  hath  walked  in  my 
statutes;    he  shall  not  die  for   the    iniquity    of  his 

18  father,  he  shall  surely  live.  As  for  his  father,  be- 
cause he  cruelly  oppressed,  spoiled  his  brother  by 
violence,  and  did  that  which  is  not  good  among  his 

19  people,  behold,  he  shall  die  *in  his  iniquity.  Yet  say 
ye,  wherefore  doth  not  the  sou  bear  the  iniquity  of 
the  father?  When  the  son  hath  done  that  which  is 
lawful  and  right,  and  hath  kept  all  my  statutes,  and 

20  hath  done  them,  he  shall  surely  live.  The  soul  that 
sinneth,  it  shall  die :  the  son  shall  not  bear  the 
iniquity  of  the  father,  neither  shall  the  father 
bear  the  iniquity  of  the  son;  the  righteousness 
of   the    righteous    shall    be    upon    him,    and    the 

21  wickedness  of  the  wicked  shall  be  upon  him.  But 
if  the  wicked  turn  from  all  his  sins  that  he 
hath  committed,  and  keep  all  my  statutes,  and  do  that 
which  is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  surely  live,  he 

22  shall  not  die.  None  of  his  transgressions  that  he 
hath  comipitted  shall  be  remembered  against  him: 
in  his  righteousness  that  he  hath  done  he  shall  live. 

23  Have  I  any  pleasure  in  the  death  of  the  wicked  ? 
saith  the  Lord  God  :  and  not  rather  that  he  should 

24 return  from  his  way,  and  live?  But  when  tiie 
righteous  turneth  away  from  his  righteousness,  and 
committeth  iniquity,  and  doeth  according  to  all  the 
abominations  that  the  wicked  man  doeth,  shall  he 
live  ?  None  of  his  righteous  deeds  that  he  hath 
done  shall  be  remembered:  in  his  trespass  that  he 
hath  trespassed,   and  in  his  sin  that  he  hath  sinned, 

25  in  them  shall  he  die.  Yet  ye  say.  The  way  of  the 
Lord  is  not  equal.  Hear  now,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el : 
Is  not  my  way  equal  ?  are  not  your  ways  unequal  ? 

26  When  the  righteous  man  turneth  away  from  his 
righteousness,  and  committeth  iniquity,  'and  dieth 
'therein ;  ^in  his  iniquity  that  he  hath  done  shall  he 

27  die.  Again,  when  the  wicked  man  turneth  away 
from  his  wickedness  that  he  hath  committed,  and 
doeth  that  which  is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  save 

28  his  soul  alive.  Because  he  considereth,  and  turneth 
away  from  all  his  transgressions  that  he  hath  com- 

29mitted,  he  shall  surely  live,  he  shall  not  die.  Yet 
saith   the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  The  way  of  the   Lord

CHAPTER   XIX. 

A  lamentation  ^or  the  princes  of  Israel,  and  for  Jerusalem. 

MOREOVER,  "take    thou    up    a    lamentation    for   the 
princes  of  Is'ra-el, 

2  And  say,  What  is  thy  mother?  A  lioness:  she  lay  down 
among  lions,  she  nourished  her  whelps  among  young  lions. 

3  And  she  brought  up  one  of  her  whelps:  Mt  became  a 
young  lion,  and  it  learned  to  catch  the  prey;  it  devoured  men. 

4  The  nations  also  heard  of  him;  he  was  taken  in  their  pit, 
and  they  brought  him  with  chains  unto  the  land  of  "E'gypt. 

5  Now  when  she  saw  that  she  had  waited,  and  her  hope 
was  lost,  then  she  took  ''another  of  her  whelps,  and  made 
him  a  young  lion. 

6  'And  he  went  up  and  down  among  the  lionSj-'he  became  a 
young  lion,  and  learned  to  catch  the  prey,  and  devoured  men. 

7  And  he  knew  ||  their  desolate  palaces,  and  he  laid  waste 
their  cities;  and  the  land  was  desolate,  and  the  fulness 
thereof,  by  the  noise  of  his  roaring. 

8  "Then  the  nations  set  against  him  on  every  side  from 
the  provinces,  and  spread  their  net  over  him :  ''he  was 
taken  in  their  pit. 

9  'And  they  put  him  in  ward  ||  in  chains,  and  brought  him 
to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon :  they  brought  him  into  holds,  that  his 
voice  should  no  more  be  heard  upon*the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el. 

10  TThy  mother  is  'like  a  vine  ||  in  thy  blood,  planted  by 
the  waters :  she  was  ""fruitful  and  full  of  branches  by  reason 
of  many  waters. 

1 1  And  she  had  strong  rods  for  the  sceptres  of  them  that, 
bear  rule,  and  her  "stature  was  exalted  among  the  thick 
branches,  and  she  appeared  in  her  height  with  the  multi- 
tude of  her  branches. 

12  But  she  was  plucked  up  in  fury,  she  was  cast  down  to  the 
ground,  and  the  "east  wind  dried  up  her  fruit:  her  strong 
rods  were  broken  and   withered;  the  fire  consumed  them. 

13  And  now  she  t«  planted  in  the  wilderness,  in  a  dry  and 
thirsty  ground. 

14  "And  fire  is  gone  out  of  a  rod  of  her  branches,  wAtcA  hath 
devoured  her  fruit,  so  that  she  hath  no  strong  rod  to  Jeasceptre 
to  rule.  'This  w  a  lamentation, and  shall  be  for  a  lamentation.

God  promiseth  'o  gather  the  children  of  Israel  by  the  gospel. 

AND  it  came  t)  pass  in  the  seventh  year,  in  the  fifth 
nu<nth,  the  ter  th  day  of  the  month,  that  "certain  of  the  el- 
ders of  Is'ra-el  cr»me  to  inquire  of  the  LoRD,and  sat  before  me. 

2  Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  me,  saying, 

3  Son  of  man,  speak  unto  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say 
unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Are  ye  come  to 
inquire  of  me  ?  As  1  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  ""I  will  not  be 
inquired  of  by  you. 

4  Wilt  thou  II  "judge  them,  son  of  man,  wilt  thou  judge 
them  ?  ''cause  them  to  Know  the  abominations  of  their  fathers : 

5  %^And  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  In 
the  day  when  'I  chose  Is'ra-el,  and  ||  lifted  up  mine  hand 
unto  the  seed  of  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  made  myself 
^nown  unto  them  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  when  I  lifted  up 
mine  hand  unto  them,  saying,  'I  am  the  Lord  your  God ; 

6  In  the  day  that  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  unto  them,  Ho 
bring  them  forth  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  into  a  land  that  I  had 


is  not  equal.     O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  are  not  my  ways 
30 equal?   are    not  your   ways  unequal?     Therefore  I 
will   judge   you,    O    house    of    is'ra-el,    every   one 
according  to  his  ways,  saith  the  Lord  God.    Return 
ye,   and   turn  yourselves   from  all   your  transgres- 
31sions;  'so  iniquity  shall    not   be   your  ^ruin.     Cast 
away  from  you  all  your  transgressions,  wherein  ye 
have  transgressed :    and  make  you  a  new  heart  and 
a  new  spirit :  for  why  will  ye  die,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el  ? 
32  For  I  have  no  pleasure  in  the  death  of  him  that 
dieth,  saith   the  Lord  God:    wherefore  turn  your- 
selves, and  live. 

-ly      Moreover,  take  thou   up  a  lamentation  for  the 

2  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  and  say.  What  was  thy  mother? 

A    lioness:     she    couched    among    lions,    in     the 

midst  of  the  young  lions  she  nourished  her  whelps, 

3  And  she  brought  up  one  of  her  whelps ;  he  became 
a  young  lion :  and  he  learned  to  catch  the  prey,  he 

4  devoured  men.  The  nations  also  heard  of  him  ;  he 
was  taken  in  their  pit:   and  they  brought  him  with 

5  hooks  unto  the  land  of  E'gypt.  Now  when  she  saw 
that  she  had  waited,  and  her  hope  was  lost,  then 
she  took  another  of  her  whelps,  and  made  him  a 

6  young  lion.  And  he  went  up  and  down  among  the 
lions,  he  became  a  young  lion :   and  he  learned  to 

7  catch  the  prey,  he  devoured  men.  And  he  knew 
their  'palaces,  and  laid  waste  their  cities ;  and  the 
land  was  desolate,  and  the   fulness  thereof,  because 

8  of  the  noise  of  his  roaring.  Then  the  nations  set 
against  him  on  every  side  from  the  provinces:  and 
they  spread  their  net  over  him;   he  v/as  taken  in 

9  their  pit.  And  they  put  him  in  a  cage  with  hooks, 
and  brought  him  to  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon;  they 
brought  him  into  strong  holds,  that  his  voico  should 
no  more  be  heard  upon  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el. 

10  Thy  mother  was  like  a  vine,  *in  thy  blood,  planted 
by  the  waters  :  she  was  fruitful  and  full  of  branches 

11  by  reason  of  many  waters.  And  she  had  strong  rods 
for  the  sceptres  of  them  that  bare  rule,  and  'their 
stature  was  exalted  among  the  'thick  boughs,  and 
'they  were  seen  in  Hheir  height  with  the  multitude 

12of 'their  branches.  But  she  was  plucked  up  in  fury, 
she  was  cast  down  to  the  ground,  and  the  east 
wind  dried  up  her  fruit:  her  strong  rods  were 
broken  off  and  withered ;  the  fire  consumed  them. 

13  And  now  she  is  planted  in  the  wilderness,  in  a  dry 

14  and  thirsty  land.  And  fire  is  gone  out  of  Hhe  rods 
of  her  branches,  it  hath  devoured  her  fruit,  so  that 
there  is  in  her  no  strong  rod  to  be  a  sceptre  to  rule. 
This  is  a  lamentation,  and  shall  be  for  a  lamentation. 

aU     And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seventh  year,  in  the 

fifth  month,  the  tenth  day  of  the  month,  that  certain 

of  the  elders  of  Is'ra-el  came  to  inquire  of  the  Lord, 

2  and  sat  before  me.     And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 

3  unto  me,  saying.  Son  of  man,  speak  unto  the  elders 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God:  Are  ye  come  to  inquire  of  me?  As  I  live, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will  not  be  inquired  of  by 

4  you.  Wilt  thou  judge  them,  son  of  man,  wilt  thou 
judge  them  ?  cause  them  to  know  the  abominations  of 

5 their  fathers;  and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  :  In  the  day  when  I  chose  Is'ra-el,  and 
lifted  up  mine  hand  unto  the  seed  of  the  house  of 
Ja'cob,  aud  made  myself  known  unto  them  in  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  when  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  unto 

6  them,  .saying,  I  am  the  Lord  your  God ;  in  that  day 
I  lifted  up  mine  hand  unto  them,  to  bring  them 
forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  into  a  land  that  I  had

espied  for  them,  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  'which  is  the' 
glory  of  ail  lands : 

7  Then  said  I  unto  them,  *Cast  ye  away  every  man  'the 
abominations  of  his  eyes,  and  defile  not  yourselves  with 
""the  idols  of  E'gypt :  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

8  But  they  rebelled  against  me,  and  would  not  hearken 
unto  me:  they  did  not  every  man  cast  away  the  abomina- 
tions of  their  eyes,  neither  did  they  forsake  the  idols  of 
E'gypt:  then  I  said,  I  will  "pour  out  my  fury  upon  them, 
to  accomplish  my  anger  against  them  in  the  midst  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt. 

9  "But  I  wrought  for  my  name's  sake,  that  it  should  not 
be  polluted  before  the  heathen,  among  whom  they  were,  in 
whose  sight  I  made  myself  known  unto  them,  in  bringing 
them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

10  ^Wherefore,  I  ''caused  them  to  go  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  E'gypt,  and  brought  them  into  the  wilderness* 

11  'And  I  gave  them  my  statutes,  and  fshewed  them  my 
judgments,  'which  if  &  man  do,  he  shall  even  live  in  them. 

12  Moreover  also  I  gave  them  my  'sabbaths,  to  be  a  sign 
between  me  and  them,  that  they  might  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord  that  sanctify  them. 

13  ^[But  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  'rebelled  against  me  in  the 
wilderness:    they    walked    not   in   my   statutes,    and  they 

despised  my  judgments,  which  if  a  man  do  he  shall  even 
live  in  them :  and  my  sabbaths  they  greatly  ''polluted :  then 
I  said,  I  would  pour  out  my  fury  upon  them  in  the  "wilder- 
ness, to  consume  them. 

14  'But  I  wrought  for  my  name's  sake,  that  it  should  not  be 
polluted  before  the  heathen,  in  whose  sight  I  brought  them  out. 

15  Yet  also  "I  lifted  up  my  hand  unto  them  in  the  wilder- 
ness, that  I  would  not  bring  them  into  the  land  which  I 
had  given  them,  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  'which  is  the 
glory  of  all  lands; 

16  "Because  they  despised  my  judgments,  and  walked  not 
in  my  statutes,  but  polluted  my  sabbaths:  for  ''their  heart 
went  after  their  idols. 

17  'Nevertheless  mine  eye  spared  them  from  destroying 
them,  neither  did  I  make  an  end  of  them  in  the  wilderness. 

18  But  I  said  unto  their  children  in  the  wilderness,  Walk 
ye  not  in  the  statutes  of  your  fathers,  neither  observe  their 
judgments,  nor  defile  yourselves  with  their  idols: 

19  1  am  the  Lord  your  God ;  -^walk  in  my  statutes,  and 
keep  my  judgments,  and  do  them; 

2D  "And  hallow  my  sabbaths;  and  they  shall  be  a  sign 
between  me  and  you,  that  ye  may  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 
your  God. 

21  Notwithstanding,  'the  children  rebelled  against  me :  they 
walked  not  in  my  statutes,  neither  kept  my  judgments  to  do 
them,  'which  if  a  man  do,  he  shall  even  live  in  them;  they  pol- 
luted my  sabbaths :  then  I  said,  *I  wouldpour  out  my  fury  upon 
them,  to  accomplish  my  anger  against  them  in  the  wilderness. 

22  'Nevertheless  I  withdrew  mine  hand,  and  "wrought  for 
my  name's  sake,  that  it  should  not  be  polluted  in  the  sight 
of  the  heathen,  in  whose  sight  I  brought  them  forth. 

23  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  unto  them  also  in  the  wilderness, 
that  "I  would  scatter  them  among  the  heathen,  and  disperse 
them  through  the  countries ; 

24  "Because  the>  had  not  executed  my  judgments,  but 
had  despised  my  statutes,  and  had  polluted  my  sabbaths, 
and  "their  eyes  were  aft«r  their  fathers'  idols. 

2.5  Wherefore  »I  gave  them  also  statutes  that  were  not 
good,  and  judgments  whereby  they  should  not  live ; 

26  And  I  polluted  them  in  their  own  gifts,  in  that  they 
cau.sed  to  pass  ""through  the  fire  all  that  openeth  the  womb, 
that  I  might  make  them  desolate,  to  the  end  that  they 
'migb.t  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

27  ^Therefore,  son  of  man,  speak  unto  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  say  unto   them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 


espied  for  them,  flowing  with  milk  and  honey,  which 

7  is  the  glory  of  all  lands :  and  I  said  unto  them,  Cast 
ye  away  every  man  the  abominations  of  his  eyes,  and 
defile  not  yourselves  with  the  idols  of  E'gypt;  I  am 

8  the  Lord  your  God.  But  they  rebelled  against  me, 
and  would  not  hearken  unto  me ;  they  did  not  every 
man  cast  away  the  abominations  of  their  eyes, 
neither  did  they  forsake  the  idols  of  E'gypt:  then 
I  said  I  would  pour  out  my  fury  upon  them,  to 
accomplish  my  anger  against  them  in  the  midst  of 

9  the  land  of  E'gypt.  But  I  wrought  for  my  name's 
sake  that  it  should  not  be  profaned  in  the  sight  of 
the  nations,  among  whom  they  were,  in  whose 
sight  I  made  myself  known  unto  them,  in  bringing 

10  them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt.  So  I  caused 
them  to  go   forth   out  of  the   land  of  E'gypt,  and 

11  brought  them  into  the  wilderness.  And  I  gave 
them  my  statutes,  and  'shewed  them  my  judgements, 

12  which  if  a  man  do,  he  shall  live  ^in  them.  More- 
over also  I  gave  them  my  sabbaths,  to  be  a  sign  be- 
tween me  and  them,  that  they  might  know  that  ^I  am 

13  the  Lord  that  sanctify  them.  But  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  rebelled  against  me  in  the  wilderness:  they 
walked  not  in  my  statutes,  and  they  rejected  my 
judgements,  which  if  a  man  do  he  shall  live  ^in  them ; 
and  my  sabbaths  they  greatly  profaned :  then  I  said  I 
would  pour  out  my  fury  upon  them  in  the  wilder- 

14nes8,  to  consume  them.  But  I  wrought  for  my 
name's  sake,  that  it  should  not  be  profaned  in  the 
sight  of  the  nations,  in  whose  sight  1  brought  them 

15  out.  Moreover  also  I  lifted  up  my  hand  unto  them 
in  the  wilderness,  that  I  would  not  bring  them  into 
the  land  which  I  had  given  them,  flowing  with  milk 

16  and  honey,  .which  is  the  glory  of  all  lands;  because 
they  rejected  my  judgements,  and  walked  not  in  my 
statutes,  and  profaned  my  sabbaths :  for  their  heart 

17  went  after  their  idols.  Nevertheless  mine  eye  spared 
them  from  destroying  them,  neither  did  I  make  a 

18  full  end  of  them  in  the  wilderness.  And  I  said  unto 
their  children  in  the  wilderness.  Walk  ye  not  in  the 
statutes  of  your  fathers,  neither  observe  their judge- 

19ments,  nor  defile  yourselves  with  their  idols :  lam 
the  Lord  your  God ;  walk  in  my  statutes,  and  keep 

20 my  judgements,  and  do  them:  and  hallow  my 
sabbaths;  and  they  shall  be  a  sign  between  me  and 
you,  that  ye  may  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 

21  God.  But  the  children  rebelled  against  me ;  they 
walked  not  in  my  statutes,  neither  kept  my  judge- 
ments to  do  them,  which  if  a  man  do,  he  shall  live 
^in  them ;  they  profaned  my  sabbaths :  then  I  said 
I  would  pour  out  my  fury  upon  them,  to  accomplish 

22  my  anger  again.st  them  in  the  wilderness.  Never- 
theless I  withdrew  mine  hand,  and  wrought  for 
my  name's  sake,  that  it  should  not  be  profaned  in 
the  sight  of  the  nations,  in  whose  sight  I  brought 

23  them  forth.  Moreover  I  lifted  up  mine  han<'  unto 
them  in  the  wilderness,  that  I  would  scatter  them 
among  the  nations,  and  disperse  them  through   the 

24 countries;  because  Ihey  had  not  executed  my  judge- 
ments, but  had  rejected  my  statutes  and  had  pro- 
faned my  sabbaths,  and  their  eyes  were  after  their 

25  fathers'  idols.  Moreover  also  I  gave  them  statutes  that 
were  not  good,  and  judgements  ^wherein  they  should 

26  not  live  ;  and  I  polluted  them  in  their  own  gifts,  in

27  Therefore,  son  of  man,  speak  unto  the  house  of

Yet  in  this  your  fathers  have  'blasphemed  me,  in  that  they 
have  fcommitted  a  trespass  against  me. 

28  For  Avhen  I  had  brought  them  into  the  land,  for  the 
which  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  to  give  it  to  them,  then  "they 
saw  every  high  hill,  and  all  the  thick  trees,  and  they  offered 
there  their  sacrifices,  and  there  they  presented  the  provoca- 
tion of  their  offering :  there  also  they  made  their  *sweet 
savour,  and  poured  out  there  their  drink  offerings. 

29  Then  ||I  said  unto  them,  What  is  the  high  place 
whereunto  ye  go?  and  the  name  thereof  is  called  Ba  mah 
unto  this  day. 

30  Wherefore  say  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  are  ye  polluted  after  the  manner  of  your 
fathers?  and  oommit  ye  whoredom  after  their  abominations? 

31  For  when  ye  offer  "your  gifts,  when  ye  make  your 
sons  to  pass  through  the  fire,  ye  pollute  yourselves  with  all 
your  idols,  even  unto  this  day :  and  'shall  I  be  inquired  of 
by  you,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el  ?  Aa  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
I  will  not  be  inquired  of  by  you. 

32  And  that  "which  cometh  into  your  mind  shall  not  be 
at  all,  that  ye  say.  We  will  be  as  the  heathen,  as  the  families 
of  the  countries,  to  serve  wood  and  stone. 

33  %As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  surely  with  a  mighty 
hand,  and  ''with  a  stretched  out  arm,  and  with  fury  poured 
out,  will  I  rule  over  you : 

34  And  I  will  bring  you  out  from  the  people,  and  will 
gather  you  out  of  the  countries  wherein  ye  are  scattered, 
with  a  mighty  hand,  and  with  a  stretched  out  arm,  and  with 
fury  poured  out. 

3.5  And  I  will  bring  you  into  the  wilderness  of  the  peo- 
ple, and  there  "will  I  plead  with  you  fece  to  face. 

36  ■'Like  as  I  pleaded  with  your  fathers  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  so  will  I  plead  with  you,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

37  And  I  will  cause  you  to  'pass  under  the  rod,  and  I 
will  bring  you  into  ||the  bond  of  the  covenant : 

38  And  ^I  will  purge  out  from  among  you  the  rebels, 
and  them  that  transgress  against  me:  I  will  bring  them 
forth  out  of  the  country  where  they  sojourn,  and  'they  shall 
not  enter  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el :  ''and  ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord. 

39  As  for  you,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  'Go  ye,  serve  ye  every  one  his  idols,  and  hereafter 
also,  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  me :  *but  pollute  ye  my 
holy  name  no  more  with  your  gifts,  and  with  your  idols. 

40  For  'in  mine  holy  mountain,  in  the  mountain  of  the 
height  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God,  there  shall  all  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  all  of  them  in  the  land,  serve  me :  there  "will  I 
accept  them,  and  there  will  I  require  your  offerings,  and  the 
llfirstfruits  of  your  oblations,  with  all  your  holy  things. 

41  I  will  accept  you  with  your  fsweet  savour,  when  I 
bring  you  out  from  the  people,  and  gather  you  out  of 
the  countries  wnerein  ye  have  been  scattered;  and  I  will  be 
sanctified  in  you  before  the  heathen. 

42  "And  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  "when  I  shall 
bring  you  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  into  the  country /or  the 
which  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  to  give  it  to  your  fathers. 

43  And  "there  shall  ye  remember  your  ways,  and  all  your 
doings  wherein  ye  have  been  defiled ;  and  'ye  shall  loathe 
yourselves  in  your  own  sight  for  all  your  evils  that  ye  have 
committed. 

44  'And  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  have 
wrought  with  you  'for  my  name's  sake,  not  according  to 
your  wicked  ways,  nor  according  to  your  corrupt  doings, 
O  ye  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

45  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

46  "Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  toward  the  south,  and  drop 
thy  word  toward  the  south,  and  prophesy  against  the  forest 
of  the  south  field ; 


In  this  moreover  have  your  fathers  blasphemed  me, 
in  that  they  have  committed  a  trespass  against  me. 

28  For  when  I  had  brought  them  into  the  land,  which 
I  lifted  up  mine  hand  to  give  unto  them,  then  they 
'saw  every  high  hill,  and  every  thick  tree,  and  they 
offered  there  their  sacrifices,  and  there  they  presented 
the  provocation  of  their  offering,  there  also  they  made 
their  sweet  savour,  and  they  poured  out  thers  their 

29  drink  offerings.  Then  I  said  unto  them.  What 
meaneth  the  high  place  ^whereunto  ye  go  ?  So  the 
name   thereof    is    called    'Ba'mah    unto    this    day. 

30  Wherefore  say  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God:  Do  ye  pollute  yourselves  after  the 
manner  of  your  fathers?  and  go  ye  a  whoring  after 

31  their  abominations  ?  and  when  ye  offer  your  gifts, 
when  ye  make  your  sons  to  pass  through  the  fire, 
do  ye  pollute  yourselves  with  all  your  idols,  unto  this 
day?  and  shall  I  be  inquired  of  by  you,  O  house  of 
Is'ra-el  ?     As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will  not 

32  be  inquired  of  by  you ;  and  that  which  cometh  into 
your  mind  shall  not  be  at  all ;  in  that  ye  say.  We 
will  be  as  the  nations,  as  the  families  of  the  coun- 

33  tries,  to  serve  wood  and  stone.  As  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  surely  ^yith  a  mighty  hand,  and  with  a 
stretched  out  arm,  and  with  furj'  poured  out,  will  I 

34  be  king  over  you :  and  I  will  bring  you  out  from 
the  peoples,  and  will  gather  you  out  of  the  countries 
wherein  ye  are  scattered,  with  a  mighty  hand, 
and  with  a  stretched  out  arm,  and  with  fury  poured 

35  out:  and  I  will  bring  you  into  the  wilderness  of  the 
peoples,  and  there  will  I  plead  with  you  face  to  face. 

36  Like  as  I  pleaded  with  your  fathers  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  so  will  I  plead  with  you, 

37  saith  the  Lord  God.  And  I  will  cause  you  to  pass 
under  the  rod,  and  I  will  bring  you  into  the  bond  of 

38  the  covenant ;  and  I  will  purge  out  from  among  you 
the  rebels,  and  them  that  transgress  against  me ;  I 
will  bring  them  forth  out  of  the  land  where  they 
sojourn,  but  they   shall  not   enter  into  the  land  of 

39  Is'ra-el :  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  As 
for  you,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God: 
Go  ye,  serve  every  one  his  idols,  ''and  hereafter  also, 
if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  me :  but  my  holy  name 
shall  ye  no  more  profane  with  your  gifts,  and  with 

40  your  idols.  For  in  mine  holy  mountain,  in  the 
mountain  of  the  height  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  there  shall  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  all  of  them, 
serve  me  in  the  land :  there  will  I  accept  them,  and 
there  will  I  require  your  offerings,  and  the  ''first- 
fruits  of  your  ^oblations,  with  all  your  holy  things. 

41 'As  a  sweet  savour  will  I  accept  you,  when  I  bring 
you  out  from  the  peoples,  and  gather  you  out  of  the 
countries  wherein  ye  have  been  scattered  ;  and  I  will 

42  be  sanctified  in  you  in  the  sight  of  the  nations.  And 
ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall 
bring  you  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  into  the  country 
which   I    lifted   up  mine  hand  to  give    unto   your 

43  fathers.  And  there  shall  ye  remember  your  ways, 
and  all  your  doings,  wherein  ye  have  polluted  your- 
selves ;  and  ye  shall  loathe  yourselves  in  your  own 

44  sight  for  all  your  evils,  that  ye  have  committed.  And 
ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  have 
wrought  with  you  for  my  name's  sake,  not  according 
to  your  evil  ways,  ^nor  according  to  your  corrupt 
doings,  O  ye  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

45  And    the    word   of    the    Lord    came    unto    me, 

46  saying.  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  toward  the 
south,  and  drop  thy  word  toward  the  south,  and 
prophesy  against  the  forest  of  the  field  in  the  South;

47  And  say  to  the  forest  of  the  south,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  "'I  will  kindle  a 
fire  in  thee,  and  it  shall  devour  "every  green  tree  in  thee,  and 
every  dry  tree :  the  flaming  flame  shall  not  be  quenched,  and 
all  faces  "from  the  south  to  the  north  shall  be  burned  therein. 

48  And  all  flesh  shall  see  that  I  the  Lord  have  kindled 
it :  it  shall  not  be  quenched. 

49  Then  said  I,  Ah  Lord  God  I  they  say  of  me,  Doth  he 
not  speak  parables? 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

Eeekiel  prophesieth  against  Jerusalem  with  a  sign  of  sighing, 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  "Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  toward  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
'drop  thy  word  toward  the  holy  places,  and  prophesy  against 
the  land  of  Is'ra-el, 

3  And  say  to  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Loed; 
Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  and  will  draw  forth  my  sword  out 
of  his  sheath,  and  will  cut  off  from  thee  'the  righteous  and 
the  wicked. 

4  Seeing  then  that  I  will  cut  off  from  thee  the  righteous 
and  the  wicked,  therefore  shall  my  sword  go  forth  out  of 
his  sheath  against  all  flesh  ''from  the  south  to  the  north : 

5  That  all  flesh  may  know  that  I  the  Lord  have  drawn  forth 
my  sword  out  of  his  sheath :  it  .'shall  not  return  any  more. 

6  /Sigh  therefore,  thou  son  of  man,  with  the  breaking  of 
thy  loins;  and  with  bitterness  sigh  before  their  eyes. 

7  And  it  shall  be,  when  they  say  unto  thee.  Wherefore 
sighest  thou?  that  thou  shalt  answer,  For  the  tidings,  be- 
cause it  Cometh :  and  every  heart  shall  melt,  and  "all  hands 
shall  be  feeble,  and  every  spirit  shall  faint,  and  all  knees 
fshall  be  weak  as  water:  behold,  it  cometh,  and  shall  be 
brought  to  pass,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

8  ^Again  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

9  Son  of  man,  prophesy,  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Say,  *A  sword,  a  sword  is  sharpened,  and  also  furbished : 

10  It  is  sharpened  to  make  a  sore  slaughter ;  it  is  furbished 
that  it  may  glitter:  should  we  then  make  mirth?  ||it  con- 
temneth  the  rod  of  my  son,  as  every  tree. 

11  And  he  hath  given  it  to  be  furbished,  that  it  may  be 
handled:  this  sword  is  sharpened,  and  it  is  furbished,  to 
give  it  into  the  hand  of  'the  slayer. 

12  Cry  and  howl,  son  of  man:  for  it  shall  be  upon  my 
people,  it  shall  be  upon  all  the  princes  of  Is'ra-el:  ||  terrors 
by  reason  of  the  sword  shall  be  upon  my  people:  *8mite 
therefore  upon  thy  thigh. 

13  II  Because  it  is  'a  trial,  and  what  if  the  sword  contemn 
even  the  rod  ?  "it  shall  be  no  more,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

14  Thou,  therefore,  son  of  man,  prophesy,  and  "smite  thine 
fhands  together,  and  let  the  sword  be  doubled  the  third 
time,  the  sword  of  the  slain :  it  is  the  sword  of  the  great  men 
that  are  slain,  which  entereth  into  their  "privy  chambers. 

15  1  have  set  the  ||  point  of  the  sword  against  all  their  gates, 
that  their  heart  may  faint  and  their  ruins  be  multiplied :  ah ! 
"it  is  made  bright,  it  is  ||  wrapped  up  for  the  slaughter. 

16  'Go  thee  one  way  or  other,  either  on  the  right  hand,  ^or 
on  the  left,  whithersoever  thy  fiice  is  set. 

17  I  will  also  ''smite  mine  hands  together,  and  "I  will  cause 
my  fury  to  rest :  I  the  Lord  have  said  it. 

18  ^The  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me  again,  saying, 

19  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  appoint  thee  two  ways,  that  the 
sword  of  the  king  of  Babylon  may  come :  both  twain  shall 
come  forth  out  of  one  land :  and  choose  thou  a  place,  choose 
it  at  the  head  of  the  way  to  the  city. 

20  Appoint  a  way,  that  the  sword  may  come  to  'Rab'bath  of 
the  Am'mon-ites,  and  to  Ju'dah  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  the  defenced. 

21  For  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  stood  at  the  fparting  of  the 
way,  at  the  head  of  the  two  ways,  to  use  divination;  he 
made  his  ||  arrows  bright,  he  consulted  with  flniages,  he 
looked  in  the  liver. 


47  and  say  to  the  forest  of  the  South,  Hear  the  word  of 
the  Lord  ;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  will 
kindle  a  fire  in  thee,  and  it  shall  devour  every  green 
tree  in  thee,  and  every  dry  tree:  the  flaming  flame 
shall  not  be  quenched,  and  all  faces  from  the  south 

48  to  the  north  shall  be  burnt  thereby.  And  all  flesh 
shall  see  that  I  the  Lord  have  kindled  it:  it  shall 

49  not  be  quenched.  Then  said  I,  Ah  Lord  God  !  they 
say  of  me,  Is  he  not  a  speaker  of  parables  ? 

^i-  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  toward  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
drop  thy  word  toward  the  sanctuaries,  and  prophesy 
3 against  the  land  of  Is'ra-el;  and  say  to  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  Behold,  I  am  against 
thee,  and  will  draw  forth  my  sword  out  of  its 
sheath,  and  will  cut  off  from  thee  the  righteous  and 

4  the  wicked.  Seeing  then  that  I  will  cut  off  from 
thee  the  righteous  and  the  wicked,  therefore  shall 
my  sword  go  forth  out  of  its  sheath  against  all  flesh 

5  from  the  south  to  the  north :  and  all  flesh  shall  know 
that  I  the  Lord  have  drawn  forth  my  sword  out  of 

6  its  sheath ;  it  shall  not  return  any  more.  Sigh  there- 
fore, thou  son  of  man;  with  the  breaking  of  thy  loins 
and  with  bitterness  shalt  thou  sigh  before  their  eyes. 

7  And  it  shall  be,  when  they  say  unto  thee.  Wherefore 
sighest  thou  ?  that  thou  shalt  say.  Because  of  the 
tidings,  for  it  cometh :  and  every  heart  shall  melt,  and 
all  hands  shall  be  feeble,  and  every  spirit  shall  'faint, 
and  all  knees  shall  be  weak  as  water:  behold,  it 
cometh,  and  it  shall  be  done  saith  the  Lord  God. 

8  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

9  Son  of  man,  prophesy,  and  say.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  :  Say,  A  sword,  a  sword,  it  is  sharpened,  and 

lOalso  furbished:  it  is  sharpened  that  it  may  make  a 
slaughter;  it  is  furbished  that  it  may  be  as  light- 
ning: shall  we  then  make  mirth?  ^the  rod  of  my 

11  son,  it  contemneth  every  tree.  And  it  is  given  to  be 
furbished,  that  it  may  be  handled :  the  sword,  it  is 
sharpened,  yea,  it  is  furbished,  to  give  it  into  the 

12  hand  of  the  slayer.  Cry  and  howl,  son  of  man  :  for 
it  is  upon  my  people,  it  is  upon  all  the  princes  of 
Is'ra-el :  Hhey  are  delivered  over  to  the  sword  with 

13  my  people :  smite  therefore  upon  thy  thigh.  For 
there  is  a  trial ;  and  ''what  if  even  the  rod  that  con- 
temneth  shall  be   no   more?  saith   the  Lord   God. 

14  Thou  therefore,  son  of  man,  prophesy,  and  smite 
thine  hands  together;  and  let  the  sword  be  doubled 
the  third  time,  the  sword  of  the  deadly  wounded :  it  is 
the  sword  of  the  great  one  that  is  deadly  wounded, 

15  which 'entereth  into  their  chambers.  I  have  set  the 
'point  of  the  sword  against  all  their  gates,  that  their 
heart  may  melt,  and  their  stumblings  be  multiplied : 
ah !  it  is  made  as  lightning,  it  is  pointed  for  slaughter. 

16 'Gather  thee  together, go  to  the  right;  set  thyself  in 
array,  go  to  the  left;  ^whithersoever  thy  face  is  set. 

171  will  also  smite  mine  hands  together,  and  I  will 
'satisfy  my  fury :  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

18  The  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  nie  again,  saying, 

19  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  appoint  thee  two  ways,  that  the 
sword  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  may  come ;  they  twain 
shall  come  forth  out  of  one  land :  and  mark  out  a 
'"place,  mark  it  out  at  the  head  of  the  way  to  the  city. 

20  Thou  shalt  appoint  a  way,  for  the  sword  to  come  to 
Rab'bah  of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  and  to  Ju'dah  in 

21  Je-ru'sa-lem  the  defenced.  For  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
stood  at  the  parting  of  the  way,  at  the  head  of  the  two 
ways,  to  use  divination :  he  shook  the  arrows  to  and 
fro,  he  consulted  the  teraphim,  he  looked  in  the  liver.

22  At  his  right  hand  was  the  divination  for  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to 
appoint  llfcaptains,  to  open  the  mouth  in  the  slaughter,  to 
"lift  up  the  voice  with  shouting,  'to  appoint  battering  rams 
against  the  gates,  to  oast  a  mount,  and  to  build  a  fort. 

23  And  it  shall  be  unto  them  as  a  false  divination  in  their 
sight,  II  to  them  that  "have  sworn  oaths :  but  he  will  call  to 
remembrance  the  iniquity,  that  they  may  be  taken. 

24  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD ;  Because  ye  have 
made  your  iniquity  to  be  remembered,  in  that  your  trans- 
gressions are  discovered,  so  that  in  all  your  doings  your 
sins  do  appear :  because,  /  say,  that  ye  are  come  to  remem- 
brance, ye  shall  be  taken  with  the  hand. 

25  ^And  thou,  "profane  wicked  prince  of  Is'ra-el,  "whose 
day  is  come,  when  iniquity  shall  have  an  end, 

26  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Remove  the  diadem,  and 
take  off  the  crown :  this  shall  not  be  the  same :  'exalt  him 
that  is  low,  and  abase  him  that  is  high. 

27  fl  will  overturn,  overturn,  overturn  it :  "and  it  shall  be 
no  more,  until  he  come  whose  right  it  is;  and  I  will  give 
it  him. 

28  ^And  thou,  son  of  man,  prophesy  and  say,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ''concerning  the  Am'mon-ites,  and  concern- 
ing their  reproach;  even  say  thou,  'The  sword,  the  sword 
is  drawn :  for  the  slaughter  it  is  furbished,  to  consume 
because  of  the  glittering : 

29  While  they  -^see  vanity  unto  thee,  while  they  divine 
a  lie  unto  thee,  to  bring  thee  upon  the  necks  of  them  that 
are  slain,  of  the  wicked,  'whose  day  is  come,  when  their 
iniquity  shall  have  an  end. 

30  ||*Shall  I  cause  it  to  return  into  his  sheath?  *I  will 
judge  thee  in  the  place  where  thou  wast  created,  *in  the 
land  of  thy  nativity. 

31  And  I  will  'pour  out  mine  indignation  upon  thee;  I 
will  "blow  against  thee  in  the  fire  of  my  wrath,  and  deliver 
thee  into  the  hand  of  ||  brutish  men,  and  skilful  to  destroy. 

32  Thou  shalt  be  for  fuel  to  the  fire ;  thy  blood  shall  be  in 
the  midst  of  the  land ;  "thou  shalt  be  no  more  remembered : 
for  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

CHAPTER    XXII. 

The  general  corruption  of  all  orders  of  men, 

MOREOVER   the   word   of  the  Lohd  came  unto  me, 
saying, 

2  Now,  thou  son  of  man,  "wilt  thou  jjjudge,  wilt  thou 
judge  Hhe  fbloody  city?  yea,  thou  shalt  fshew  her  all 
her  abominations. 

3  Then  say  thou.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  The  city 
sheddeth  blood  in  the  midst  of  it,  that  her  time  may  come, 
and  maketh  idols  against  herself  to  defile  herself. 

4  Thou  art  become  guilty  in  thy  bipod  that  thou  hast 
"shed ;  and  hast  defiled  thyself  in  thine  idols  which  thou 
hast  made ;  and  thou  hast  caused  thy  days  to  draw  near,  and 
art  come  even  unto  thy  years :  ''therefore  have  I  made  thee  a 
reproach  unto  the  heathen,  and  a  mocking  to  all  countries. 

5  Those  that  be  near,  and  those  that  he  far  from  thee,  shall 
mock  thee,  which  art  finfamous  and  much  vexed. 

6  Behold,  'the  princes  of  Is'ra-el,  every  one  were  in  thee 
to  their  fpower  to  shed  blood. 

7  In  thee  have  they-'^set  light  by  father  and  mother:  in  the 
midst  of  thee  have  they  "dealt  by  ||  oppression  with  the  stran- 
ger :  in  thee  have  they  vexed  the  fatnerless  and  the  widow. 

8  Thou  hast  ''despised  mine  holy  things,  and  hast  'pro- 
faned my  sabbaths. 

9  In  thee  are  t*nien  that  carry  tales  to  shed  blood :  'and 
in  thee  they  eat  upon  the  mountains :  in  the  midst  of  thee 
they  commit  lewdness.

thee  have  they  humbled  her  that  was  "set  apart  for  pollution.

22  In  his  right  hand  was  the  divination /or  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
to  set  battering  rams,  to  open  the  mouth  'in  the 
slaughter,  to  lift  up  the  voice  with  shouting,  to  set 
battering  rams  against  the  gates,  to  cast  up  mounts, 

23  to  build  forts.  And  it  shall  be  unto  them  as  a  vain 
divination  in  their  sight,  which  have  sworn  oaths 
unto  them :  but  he  bringeth  iniquity  to  remem- 
brance, that  they  may  be  taken. 

24  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Because  ye 
have  made  your  iniquity  to  be  remembered,  in 
that  your  trangressions  are  discovered,  so  that  in 
all  your  doings  your  sins  do  appear ;  because  that 
ye  are  come  to  remembrance,  ye  shall  be  taken  with 

25  the  hand.  And  thou,  O  deadly  wounded  wicked  one, 
the  prince  of  Is'ra-el  whose  day  is  come,  in  the  time  of 

26  the  ^iniquity  of  the  end ;  thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD  : 
'Remove  the  mitre,  and  take  off  the  crown :  this 
shall  be  *no  more  the  same :  exalt  that  which  is  low, 

27  and  abase  that  which  is  high.  'I  will  overturn,  over- 
turn, overturn  it :  this  also  shall  be  no  more,  until 
he  come  whose  right  it  is;   and  I  will  give  it  him. 

28  And  thou,  son  of  man,  prophesy,  and  say.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  concerning  the  children  of  Am'- 
mon,  and  concerning  their  reproach ;  and  say  thou, 
A  sword,  a  sword  is  drawn,  for  the  slaughter  it  is 
furbished,  'to  cause  it  to  devour,  that  it  may  be  as 

29  lightning :  whiles  they  see  vanity  unto  thee,  whiles 
they  divine  lies  unto  thee,  to  lay  thee  upon  the 
necks  of  the  wicked  that  are  deadly  wounded,  whose 
day  is  come,  in  the  time  of  the  ^iniquity  of  the  end. 

30  Cause  it  to  return  into  its  sheath.  In  the  place  where 
thou  \sast  created,  in  the  land  of  'thy  birth,  will  I 

31  judge  thee.  And  I  will  pour  out  mine  indignation 
upon  thee;  I  will  blow  upon  thee  with  the  fire  of 
my  wrath :  and  I  will  deliver  thee  into  the  hand  of 

32  brutish  men,  skilful  to  destroy.  Thou  shalt  be  for 
fuel  to  the  fire;  thy  blood  shall  be  in  the  midst  of 
the  land ;  thou  shalt  be  no  more  remembered :  for 
I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

^^     Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 

2  saying,  And  thou,  son  of  man,  wilt  thou  judge, 
wilt  thou  judge  the  bloody  city?  then  cause  her 

3  to  know  all  her  abominations.  And  thou  shalt  say. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  A  city  that  sheddeth 
blood  in  the  midst  of  her,  that  her  time  may  come, 
and  that  maketh  idols  against  herself  to  defile  her! 

4  Thou  art  become  guilty  in  thy  blood  that  thou  hast 
shed,  and  art  defiled  in  thine  idols  which  thou  hast 
made ;  and  thou  hast  caused  thy  days  to  draw  near, 
and  art  come  even  unto  thy  years :  therefore  have  I 
made  thee  a  reproach  unto  the  nations,  and  a  mock- 

5ing  to  all  the  countries.  Those  that  be  near,  and 
those  that  be  far  from  thee,  shall  mock  thee,  thou 

6 'infamous  one  and  full  of  tumult.  Behold,  the 
princes  of  Is'ra-el  every  one  according  to  his  "power, 

7  have  been  in  thee  to  shed  blood.  In  thee  have  they 
set  light  by  father  and  mother ;  in  the  midst  of  thee 
have  they  dealt  by  oppression  with  the  stranger :  in 
thee    have    they    wronged    the    fatherless    and    the 

8  widow.     Thou  hast  despised  mine  holy  things,  and 

9  hast  profaned  my  sabbaths.  Slanderous  men  have 
been  in  thee  to  shed  blood :  and  in  thee  they  have 
eaten   upon   the   mountains :    in  the  midst  of  thee 

10  they  have  committed  lewdness.  In  thee  have  they 
discovered  their  father's  nakedness;  in  thee  have 
they  humbled  her  that  was  unclean  in  her  separa- 

11  tion.  And  one  hath  committed  abomination  witn  his

12  In  thee  ""have  they  taken  gifts  to  shed  blood;  'thou 
hast  taken  usury  and  increase,  and  thou  hast  greedily

13  ^Behold,  therefore  I  have  "smitten  mine  hand  at  thy 
dishonest  gain  which  thou  hast  made,  and  at  thy  blood 
which  hath  been  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

14  ^Can  thine  heart  endure,  or  can  thine  hands  be  strong, 
in  the  days  that  I  shall  deal  with  thee?  "I  the  Loed  have 
spoken  it,  and  will  do  it. 

15  And  "I  will  scatter  thee  among  the  heathen,  and 
disperse  thee  in  the  countries,  and  "will  consume  thy  filthi-

16  And  thou  ||  shalt  take  thine  inheritance  in  thyself  in  the 
sight  of  the  heathen,  and  Hhou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

17  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  "^the  house  of  Is'ra-el  is  to  me  become 
dross :  all  they  are  brass,  and  tin,  and  iron,  and  lead,  in  the

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Because  ye  are 
all  become  dross,  behold,  therefore  I  will  gather  you  into 
the  midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20  t-4s  they  gather  silver,  and  brass,  and  iron,  and  lead,

ye  be  melted  in  the  midst  thereof;  and  ye  stall  know  that 
I  the  Lord  have  'poured  out  my  fury  upon  you.

tween the  unclean  and  the  clean,  and  have  hid  their  eyes 
from  my  sabbaths,  and  I  am  profaned  among  them.

ravening  the  prey,  to  shed  blood,  and  to  destroy  souls,  to 
get  dishonest  gain.

The  utkoredoms  of  Aholah  and  Aholihah. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  there  were  "two  women,  the  daughters  of 
one  mother: 

3  And  'they  committed  wnoredoms  in  E'gypt ;  they  com- 
mitted whoredoms  in  ""their  youth:  there  were  their  breasts 
pressed,  and  there  they  bruised  the  teats  of  their  virginity. 


daughter  in  law;  and  another  in  thee  hath  humbled 

12  his  sister,  his  father's  daughter.  In  thee  have  they 
taken  bribes  to  shed  blood ;  thou  hast  taken  usury 
and  increase,  and  thou  hast  greedily  gained  of  thy 
neighbours  by  oppression,  and  hast  forgotten  me,  saith 

13  the  Lord  God.  Behold,  therefore,  I  have  smitten 
mine  hand  at  thy  dishonest  gain  which  thou  hast 
made,  and  at  thy  blood  which  hath  been  in  the  mid.st 

14  of  thee.  Can  thine  heart  endure,  or  can  thine  hands 
be  strong,  in  the  days  that  I  shall  deal  with  thee?  I  the 

15  Lord  have  spoken  it,  and  will  do  it.  And  I  will  scatter 
thee  among  the  nations,  and  disperse  thee  through  the 
countries;  and  I  willconsumethj-filthinessoutof  thee. 

16  And  thou  shalt  be  profaned  in  thyself,  in  the  sight  of 
the  nations ;  and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

17  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  .saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  is  become  dross 
unto  me:  all  of  them  are  brass  and  tin  and  iron 
and  lead,  in  the  midst  of  the  furnace ;  they  are  the 

19  dross  of  silver.  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  : 
Because  ye  are  all  become  dross,  therefore  behold, 

201  will  gather  you  into  the  midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  As 
they  'gather  silver  and  brass  and  iron  and  lead  and 
tin  into  the  midst  of  the  furnace,  to  blow  the  fire 
upon  it,  to  melt  it ;  so  will  I  gather  you  in  mine 
anger  and  in  my  fury,  and  I  will  lay  you  there,  and 

21  melt  you.  Yea,  I  will  gather  you,  and  blow  upon 
you  with  the  fire  of  my    wrath,    and    ye    shall   be 

22  melted  in  the  midst  thereof.  As  silver  is  melted  in 
the  midst  of  the  furnace,  so  shall  ye  be  melted  in 
the  midst  thereof;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  the 
Lord  have  poured  out  my  fury  upon  you. 

23  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

24  Son  of  man,  say  unto  her,  Thou  art  a  land  that 
is  not  cleansed,  nor  rained  upon  in  the  day  of  indig- 

25  nation.  There  is  a  conspiracy  of  her  prophets  in 
the  midst  thereof,  like  a  roaring  lion  ravening  the 
prey :  they  have  devoured  souls ;  they  take  treasure 
and  precious  things;  they  have   made  her  widows 

26  many  in  the  midst  thereof  Her  priests  have  done 
violence  to  my  law,  and  have  profaned  mine  holy 
things:  they  have  put  no  difference  between  the 
holy  and  the  common,  neither  have  they  caused 
men  to  discern  between  the  unclean  and  the  clean, 
and  have  hid  their  eyes  from  my  sabbaths,  and  I 

27  am  profaned  among  them.  Her  princes  in  the  midst 
thereof  are  like  wolves  ravening  the  prey  ;  to  shed 
blood,  and  to  destroy  souls,  that  they  may  get  dis- 

28  honest  gain.  And  her  prophets  have  daubed  for 
them  with  untempered  mortar,  seeing  vanity,  and 
divining  lies  unto  them,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 

29  God,  when  the  Lord  hath  not  spoken.  The  people 
of  the  land  have  used  oppression,  and  exercised 
robbery ;  yea,  they  have  vexed  the  poor  and  needy, 

30  and  have  oppressed  the  stranger  wrongfully.  And  I 
sought  for  a  man  among  them,  that  should  make  up 
the  fence,  and  stand  in  the  gap  before  me  for  the  land, 
that   I  should   not  destroy   it:    but  I    found   nore. 

31  Therefore  have  I  poured  out  mine  indignation  upon 
them ;  I  have  consumed  them  with  the  fire  of  my 
wrath:  their  own  way  have  I  brought  upon  their 
heads,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

-40     The  word   of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me, 

2  saying.  Son  of  man,  there   were    two    women,    the 

3 daughters    of   one    mother:     and    they    committed 

whoredoms  in  E'gypt;  they  committed  whoredoms 

in   their  youth:   there  were  their    breasts    pressed, 

and  there  they  bruised  the  teats  of  their  virginity.

4  And  the  names  of  them  were  A-ho'lah  the  elder,  and 
A-hol'i-bah  her  sister ;  and  ''they  were  mine,  and  they  bare 
sons  and  daughters.  Thus  were  their  names;  Sa-ma'ri-a  is 
II  A-ho'iah,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  ||  A-hol'i-bah. 

5  And  A-ho'lah  played  the  harlot  when  she  was  mine ;  and 
she  doted  on  her  lovers,  on  'the  As-syr'i-ans  her  neighbours, 

6  miieh  tcere  clothed  with  blue,  captains  and  rulers,  all  of 
them  desirable  young  men,  horsemen  riding  upon  hor.ses. 

7  Thus  she  fcommitted  her  whoredoms  with  them,  with  all 
them  that  were  fthe  chosen  men  of  As-syr'i-a,  and  with  all 
on  whom  she  doted;  with  all  their  idols  she  defiled  herself. 

8  Neither  left  she  her  whoredoms  brought -^fiom  E'gypt:  for 
in  her  youth  they  lay  with  her,  and  they  bruised  the  breasts 
of  her  virginity,  and  poured  their  whoredom  upon  her. 

9  Wherefore,  I  have  delivered  her  into  the  hand  of  her 
lovers,  into  the  hand  of  the'As-syr'i-ans,  upon  whom  she  doted. 

10  These  ''discovered  her  nakedness:  they  took  her  sons 
and  her  daughters,  and  slew  her  with  the  sword :  and  she 
became  ffamous  among  women ;  for  they  had  executed 
judgment  upon  her. 

1 1  And  *wnen  her  sister  A-hol'i-bah  saw  this,''  fshe  was 
more  corrupt  in  her  inordinate  love  than  she,  and  in  her 
whoredoms  fmore  than  her  sister  in  her  whoredoms. 

12  She  doted  upon  the  'As-syr'i-ans  her  neighbours,  "cap- 
tains and  rulers  clothed  most  gorgeously,  horsemen  riding 
upon  horses,  all  of  them  desirable  young  men. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  she  was  defiled,  that  they  took  both  one 
way; 

14  And  that  she  increased  her  whoredoms:  for  when  she 
saw  men  portrayed  upon  the  wall,  the  images  of  the  Chal- 
de'ans  portrayed  with  vermilion, 

1 5  Girded  with  girdles  upon  their  loins,  exceeding  in  dyed 
attire  upon  their  heads,  all  of  them  princes  to  look  to,  after 
the  manner  of  the  Bab-y-lo'ni-ans  of  Chal-de'a,  the  land  of 
their  nativity : 

1 6  "And  fas  soon  as  she  saw  them  with  her  eyes,  she  doted 
upon  them,  and  sent  messengers  unto  them  into  Chal-de'a. 

17  And  the  fBab-y-lo'ni-ans  came  to  her  into  the  bed  of 
love,  and  they  defiled  her  with  their  whoredom,  and  she 
was  polluted  with  them,  and  "her  mind  was  falienated 
from  them. 

18  So  she  discovered  her  whoredoms,  and  discovered  her 
nakedness :  then  "my  mind  was  alienated  from  her,  like  as 
my  mind  was  alienated  from  her  sister. 

19  Yet  she  multiplied  her  whoredoms,  in  calling  to  re- 
membrance the  days  of  her  youth,  'wherein  she  had  played 
the  harlot  in  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

20  For  she  doted  upon  their  paramours,  'whose  flesh  is  as 
the  flesh  of  asses,  and  whose  issue  is  like  the  issue  of 
horses. 

21  Thus  thou  calledst  to  remembrance  the  lewdness  of 
thy  youth,  in  bruising  thy  teats  by  the  E-gyp'tians  for  the 
paps  of  thy  youth. 

22  ^Therefore,  O  A-hol'i-bah,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
•Behold,  I  will  raise  up  thy  lovers  against  thee,  from  whom 
thy  mind  is  alienated,  and  I  will  bring  them  against  thee 
on  every  side ; 

23  The  Bab-y-lo'ni-ans,  and  all  the  Chal-de'ans,  'Po'kod, 
and  Sho'a,  and  Ko'a,  and  all  the  As-syr'i-ans  with  them :  "all 
of  them  desirable  young  men,  captains  and  rulers,  great 
lords  and  reno\vned,  all  of  them  riding  upon  horses. 

24  And  they  shall  come  against  thee  with  chariots, 
wagons,  and  wheels,  and  with  an  assembly  of  people,  which 
shall  set  against  thee  buckler  and  shield  and  helmet  round 
about :  and  I  will  set  judgment  before  them,  and  they 
shall  judge  thee  according  to  their  judgments. 

25  And  I  will  set  my  jealousy  against  thee,  and  they  shall 
deal  furiously  with  thee:  they  shall  take  away  thy  nose 
land  thine  ears;  and  thy  remnant  shall  fiiU  by  the  sword: 


4  And  the  names  of  them  were  0-ho'lah  the  elder,  and 
O-hol'i-bah  her  sister :  and  they  became  mine,  and  they 
bare  sons  and  daughters.  And  as  for  their  names, 
Sa-ma'ri-a  is  '0-ho  lah,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  K)-hol'i-bah. 

5  And  O-ho'lah  played  the  harlot  'when  she  was  mine ; 
and  she  doted  on  her  lovers,  on  the  As-syr'i-ans  her 

6  neighbours,  which  were  clothed  with  blue,  governors 
and  ■'rulers,  all  of  them  desirable  young  men,  horse- 

7  men  riding  upon  horses.  And  she  bestowed  her 
whoredoms  upon  them,  the  choicest  men  of  As-syr'i-a 
all  of  them :   and   on   whomsoever  she  doted,  with 

8  all  their  idols  she  defiled  herself.  Neither  hath  she 
left  her  whoredoms  'since  the  days  of  E'gypt;  for 
in  her  youth  they  lay  with  her,  and  they  bruised 
the   teats   of  her  virginity :    and  they   poured   out 

9  their  whoredom  upon  her.  Wherefore  I  delivered 
her  into  the  hand  of  her  lovers,  into  the  hand  of  the 

10  As-syr'i-ans,  upon  whom  she  doted.  These  discovered 
her  nakedness:  they  took  her  sons  and  her  daugh 
ters,and  her  they  slew  with  the  sword :  and  she  became 
a  'byword  among  women ;  for  they  executed  judge 

1 1  ments  upon  her.  And  her  sister  O-hol'i-bah  saw  this, 
yet  was  she  more  corrupt  in  her  doting  than  she, 
and  in  her  whoredoms  which  were   more  than  the 

12  whoredoms  of  her  sister.  She  doted  upon  the  As- 
syr'i-ans,  governors  and  rulers,  her  neighbours,  clothed 
most   gorgeously,  horsemen  riding  upon  horses,  all 

13  of  them  desirable  young  men.     And  I  saw  that  she 
14 was  defiled;  they  both  took  one  way.     And  she  in- 
creased her  whoredoms ;  for  she  saw  men  pourtrayed 
upon  the  wall,  the  images  of  the  Chal-de'ans  pour 

15  tray ed  with  vermilion,  girded  with  girdles  upon 
their  loins,  ^exceeding  in  dyed  attire  upon  their 
heads,  all  of  them  princes  to  look  upon,  after  the 
likeness  of  the  Bab-y-lo'ni'ans  *in  Chal-de'a,  the  land 

16  of  their  nativity.  And  'as  soon  as  she  saw  them 
she  doted  upon  them,  and  sent  messengers  unto  them 

17  into  Chal-de'a.  And  the  Bab-y-lo'ni-ans  came  to  her 
into  the  bed  of  love,  and  they  defiled  her  with  their 
whoredom,  and  she  was  polluted  with  them,  and  her 

18  soul  was  alienated  from  them.     So  she  discovered 
her    whoredoms,   and    discovered    her    nakedness 
then   my  soul  was  alienated  from   her,  like   as  my 

19soul  was  alienated  from  her  sister.  Yet  she  mul 
tiplied  her  whoredoms,  remembering  the  days  of 
her  youth,  wherein  she  had  played  the  harlot  in  the 

20  land  of  E'gypt.  And  she  doted  upon  their  paramours, 
whose  flesh  is  as  the  flesh  of  asses,  and  whose  issue 

21  is  like  the  issue  of  horses.  Thus  thou  calledst  to 
remembrance  the  lewdness  of  thy  youth,  in  the 
bruising  of  thy  teats  by  the  E-gyp'tians  for  the 
breasts  of  thy  youth. 

22  Therefore,  O  O-hol'i-bah,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  : 
Behold,  I  will  raise  up  thy  lovers  against  thee,  from 
whom  thy  soul  is  alienated,  and  I  will  bring  them 

23 against  thee  on  every  side;  the  Babylonians  and  all 
the  Chal-de'ans,  Pe'kod  and  Sho'a  and  Ko'a,  and  all 
the  As-syr'i-ans  with  them:  desirable  young,  me 
governors  and  all  rulers  of  them,  princes  and  '"men 

24  of  renown,  all  of  them  riding  upon  horses.  And 
they  shall  come  against  thee  with  weapons,  chariots, 
and  "wagons,  and  with  an  assembly  of  peoples; 
they  shall  set  themselves  against  thee  with  buckler 
and  shield  and  helmet  round  about:  and  I  will 
commit  the  judgement   unto   them,  and  they   shall 

25 judge  thee  according  to  their  judgements.  And  I 
will  set  my  jealousy  against  thee,  and  they  shall  deal 
with  thee  in  fury ;  they  shall  take  away  thy  nose  and 
thine  ears ;  and  thy  residue  shall  fall  by  the  sword :

ch.  24.  21. 


they  shall  take  thy  sons  and  thy  daughters ;  and  thy  resi- 
due shall  be  devoured  by  the  fire. 

26  'They  shall  also  strip  thee  out  of  thy  clothes,  and  take 
away  thy  ffair  jewels. 

27  Thus  "will  I  make  thy  lewdness  to  cease  from  thee,  and 
'thy  whoredom  brought  from  the  land  of  E'gypt :  so  that 
thou  shalt  not  lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  them,  nor  remember 
E'gypt  any  more. 

28  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Behold,  I  will  deliver 
thee  into  the  hand  of  them  "whom  thou  hatest,  into  the 
hand  of  them  'from  whom  thy  mind  is  alienated : 

29  And  they  shall  deal  with  thee  hatefully,  and  shall  take 
away  all  thy  labour,  and  "shall  leave  thee  naked  and  bare : 
and  the  nakedness  of  thy  whoredoms  shall  be  discovered, 
both  thy  lewdness  and  thy  whoredoms. 

30  I  will  do  these  things  unto  thee,  because  thou  hast 
gone  a  whoring  after  the   heathen,  and  because  thou  art 

polluted  with  their  idols. 

31  Thou  hast  walked  in  the  way  of  thy  sister;  therefore 
will  I  give  her  'cup  into  thine  hand. 

32  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Thou  shalt  drink  of  thy 
sister's  cup  deep  and  large :  -^thou  shalt  be  laughed  to  scorn 
and  had  in  derision ;  it  containeth  much. 

33  Thou  shalt  be  filled  with  dnmkenness  and  sorrow, 
with  the  cup  of  astonishment  and  desolation,  with  the  cup 
of  thy  sister  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

34  Thou  shalt  'even  drink  it  and  suck  it  out,  and  thou 
shalt  break  the  sherds  thereof,  and  pluck  oiF  thine  own 
breasts :  for  I  have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

35  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Because  thou 
*hast  forgotten  me,  and  'cast  me  behind  thy  back,  therefore 
bear  thou  also  thy  lewdness  and  thy  whoredoms. 

36  l[The  LoHD  said,  moreover,  unto  me;  Son  of  man, 
wilt  thou  *||  judge  A-ho'lah  and  A-hol'i-bah?  yea,  'declare 
unto  them  their  abominations ; 

37  That  they  have  committed  adultery,  and  "blood  is  in 
their  hands,  and  with  their  idols  have  they  committed  adul- 
tery, and  have  also  caused  their  sons,  "whom  they  bare 
unto  me,  to  pass  for  them  through  the  fire  to  devour  them. 

38  Moreover  this  they  have  done  unto  me:  they  have 
defiled  my  sanctuary  in  the  same  day,  and  "have  profaned 
my  sabbaths. 

39  For  when  they  had  slain  their  children  to  their  idols, 
then  they  came  the  same  day  into  my  sanctuary  to  profane 
it ;  and,  lo,  "thus  have  they  done  in  the  midst  of  mine  house. 

40  And  furthermore,  that  ye  have  sent  for  men  fto  come 
from  far,  'unto  whom  a  messenger  was  sent ;  and,  lo,  they 
came :  for  whom  thou  didst  'wash  thyself,  'paintedst  thy 
eyes,  and  deckedst  thyself  with  ornaments, 

41  And  satest  upon  a  fstately  'bed,  and  a  table  prepared 
before  it,  "whereupon  thou  hast  set  mine  incense  and  mine  oil. 

42  And  a  voice  of  a  multitude  being  at  ease  wa»  with  her : 
and  with  the  men  fof  the  common  sort  were  brought  ||Sa- 
be'ans  from  the  wilderness,  which  put  bracelets  upon  their 
hands,  and  beautiful  crowns  upon  their  heads. 

43  Then  said  I  unto  her  thai  was  old  in  adulteries,  Will  they 
now  commit  fwhoredoms  with  her,  and  she  with  them  f 

44  Yet  they  went  in  unto  her,  as  they  go  in  unto  a  woman 
that  playeth  the  harlot :  so  went  they  in  unto  A-ho'lah  and 
unto  A-hol'i-bah,  the  lewd  women. 

45  ^Aud  the  righteous  men,  they  shall  '^udge  them  after 
the  manner  of  adulteresses,  and  after  the  manner  of  women 
that  shed  blood;  because  they  are  adulteresses,  and  "blood 
is  in  their  hands. 

46  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  "I  will  bring  up  a  company 
upon  them,  and  will  give  them  fto  be  removed  and  spoiled. 

47  "And  the  company  shall  stone  them  with  stones,  and 
II dispatch  them  with  their  swords;  'they  shall  slay  their  sons 

land  their  daughters,  and  burn  up  their  houses  with  fire. 


they   shall   take    thy    sons  and  thy  daughters ;  and 

26  thy  residue  shall  be  devoured  by  the  fire.  They 
shall  also  strip  thee  of  thy  clothes,  and  take  away 

27  thy  fair  jewels.  Thus  will  I  make  thy  lewdness  to 
cease  from  thee,  and  thy  whoredom  ^brought  from 
the  land  of  E'gypt:  so  that  thou  shalt  not  lift  up 
thine    eyes    unto  them,  nor   remember   E'gypt  any 

28  more.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  will 
deliver  thee  into  the  hand  of  them  whom  thou 
hatest,  into  the  hand  of  them  from  whom  thy  soul  is 

29  alienated :  and  they  shall  deal  with  thee  in  hatred, 
and  shall  take  away  all  thy  labour,  and  shall  leave 
thee  naked  and  bare:  and  the  nakedness  of  thy 
whoredoms  shall  be  discovered,  both  thy  lewdness 

30  and  thy  whoredoms.  These  things  shall  be  done 
unto  thee,  for  that  thou  hast  gone  a  whoring  after 
the  heathen,  and  because  thou  art  polluted  with  their 

31  idols.     Thou  hast  walked  in  the  way  of  thy  sister; 

32  therefore  will  I  give  her  cup  into  thine  hand.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  :  Thou  shalt  drink  of  thy  sis- 
ter's cup,  which  is  deep  and  large :  thou  shalt  be 
laughed  to  scorn  and  had  in  derision ;  ^it  containeth 

33  much.  Thou  shalt  be  filled  with  drunkenness  and 
sorrow,  with  the  cup  of  astonishment  and  desolation, 

34  with  the  cup  of  thy  sister  Sa-ma'ri-a.  Thou  shalt  even 
drink  it  and  drain  it  out,  and  thou  shalt  gnaw  the 
sherds  thereof,  and  shalt  tear  thy  breasts :  for  I  have 

35  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  :  Because  thou  hast  forgotten  me,  and 
cast  me  behind  thy  back,  therefore  bear  thou  also 
thy  lewdness  and  thy  whoredoms. 

36  The  Lord  said  moreover  unto  me :  Son  of  man,  wilt 
thou  judge  0-ho'lah  and  0-hol'i-bah?  then  declare 

37  unto  them  their  abominations.  For  they  have  com- 
mitted adultery,  and  blood  is  in  their  hands,  and  with 
their  idols  have  they  committed  adultery ;  and  they 
have  also  ^caused  their  sons,  whom  they  bare  unto  me, 
to  pass  through  the  fire   unto  them  to  be  devoured. 

38  Moreover  this  they  have  done  unto  me :  they  have 
defiled  my  sanctuary  in   the  same   day,  and   have 

39  profaned  my  sabbaths.  For  when  they  had  slain 
their  children  to  their  idols,  then  they  came  the 
same  day  into  my  sanctuary  to  profane  it;  and,  lo, 
thus    have  they  done  in  the  midst  of  mine  house. 

40  And  furthermore  ye  have  sent  for  men  ^that  come 
from  far :  unto  whom  a  messenger  was  sent,  and, 
lo,  they  came ;  for  whom  thou  didst  wash  thyself, 
paintedst  thine  eyes,  and  deckedst  thyself  with  orna- 

41  meuts :  and  satest  upon  a  stately  bed,  with  a  table 
prepared  before  it,  whereupon  thou  didst  set  mine 

42  incense  and  mine  oil.  And  the  voice  of  a  multitude 
being  at  ease  was  with  her:  and  with  men  of  the 
common  sort  were  brought  drunkards  from  the 
wilderness ;  and  they  put  bracelets  upon  the  hands  of 
them  twain,  and  beautiful  crowns  upon  their  heads. 

43  Then  said  I  'of  her  that  was  old  in  adulteries.  Now 
will  they  commit  "whoredoms  with  her,  'and  she  with 

a  them.  And  they  went  in  unto  her,  as  they  go  in 
unto  an  harlot :  so  they  went  in  unto  0-ho'lah  and  unto 

45  O-hol'i-bah,  the  lewd  women.  And  righteousmen,  they 
shall  judge  them  with  the  judgement'  of  adulteresses, 
and  with  the  judgement  of  women  that  shed  blood ; 
because  they  are  adulteresses,  and  blood  is  in  their 

46  hands.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  I  will  bring 
up  an  assembly  against  them,  and  will  give  them  to 

47  be  tossed  to  and  fro  and  spoiled.  And  the  assem- 
bly shall  stone  them  with  stones,  and  despatch  them 
with  their  swords;  they  shall  slay  their  sons  and 
their  daughters,  and  burn  up  their  houses  with  fire.

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

ff^-  a  boiling  pot,  is  shewed  Jerusalem's  destruction. 

AGAIN  in  the  ninth  year,  in  the  tenth  month,  in  the  tenth  day 
of  the  month,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  write  thee  the  name  of  the  day,  even  of 
this  same  day :  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  set  himself  against 
Je-ru'sa-lem  "this  same  day. 

3  'And  utter  a  parable  unto  the  rebellious  house,  and  say 
unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  ''Set  on  a  pot,  set  it 
on,  and  also  pour  water  into  it : 

4  Gather  the  pieces  thereof  unto  it,  even  every  good  piece, 
the  thigh,  and  the  shoulder ;  fill  it  with  the  choice  bones. 

5  Take  the  choice  of  the  flock,  and  ||burn  also  the  bones 
under  it,  and  make  it  boil  well,  and  let  them  seethe  the 
bones  of  it  therein. 

6  ^Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Woe  to  ''the 
bloody  city,  to  the  pot  whose  scum  is  therein,  and  whose 
scum  is  not  gone  out  of  it!  bring  it  out  piece  by  piece;  let 
no  'lot  fall  upon  it. 

7  For  her  blood  is  in  the  midst  of  her;  she  set  it  upon 
the  top  of  a  rock;  -^she  poured  it  not  upon  the  ground,  to 
cover  it  with  dust ; 

8  That  it  might  cause  fury  to  come  up  to  take  vengeance ; 
"I  have  set  her  blood  upon  the  top  of  a  rock,  that  it  should 
not  be  covered. 

9  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  ''Woe  to  the  bloody 
city !     I  will  even  make  the  pile  for^re  great. 

10  Heap  on  wood,  kindle  tlie  fire,  consume  the  flesh,  and 
spice  it  well,  and  let  the  bones  be  burned. 

11  Then  set  it  empty  upon  the  coals  thereof,  that  the  brass 
of  it  may  be  hot,  and  may  burn,  and  that  'the  filthincss  of  it 
may  be  molten  in  it,  that  the  scum  of  it  may  be  consumed. 

12  She  hath  wearied  herself  with  lies,  and  her  great  scum 
went  not  forth  out  of  her:  her  scum  shall  be  in  the  fire. 

13  In  thy  filthiness  is  lewdness:  because  I  have  purged 
thee,  and  thou  wast  not  purged,  thou  shalt  not  be  purged 
from  thy  filthiness  any  more,  *'till  I  have  caused  my  fury  to 
rest  upon  thee. 

14  'I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it:  it  shall  come  to  pass,  and 
I  will  do  it;  I  will  not  go  back,  "neither  will  1  spare, 
neither  will  I  repent;  according  to  thy  ways,  and  accord- 
ing to  thy  doings,  shall  they  judge  thee,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  TAlso  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

16  Son  of  man,  behold,  I  take  away  from  thee  the  desire 
of  thine  eyes  with  a  stroke :  yet  neither  shalt  thou  mourn 
nor  weep,  neither  shall  thy  tears  frun  down. 

17  t^orbear  to  cry,  "make  no  mourning  for  the  dead, 
"bind  the  tire  of  thine  head  upon  thee,  and  ''put  on  thy 
shoes  upon  thy  feet,  and  "cover  not  thy  flips,  and  eat  not 
the  bread  of  men. 

18  So  Isi)ake  unto  the  people  in  the  morning:  and  at  even 
my  wife  died  ;  aud  I  did  in  the  morning  as  I  was  commanded. 

19  \And  the  people  said  unto  me,  '"Wilt  thou  not  tell  us 
what  these  things  are  to  us,  that  thou  doest  so  f 

20  Then  I  answered  them.  The  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

21  Speak  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Behold,  'I  will  profane  my  sanctuary,  the  excellency 
of  your  strength,  'the  desire  of  your  eyes,  and  fthat  which 
your  soul  pitieth ;  "and  your  sons  aud  your  daughters  whom 
ye  have  left  shall  fall  by  the  sword. 

22  And  je  shall  do  as  I  have  done:  "'ye  shall  not  cover 
your  lips,  nor  eat  the  bread  of  men. 

23  And   your   tires   shall  be  upon  your  heads,  and  your 


48  Thus  will  I  cause  lewdness  to  cease  out  of  the  land, 
that  all  women  may  be  taught  not  to  do  after  your 

49  lewdness.  And  they  shall  recompense  your  lewd- 
ness upon  you,  and  ye  shall  bear  the  sins  of  your 
idols :  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 

^^  Again  in  the  ninth  year,  in  the  tenth  month,  in 
the  tenth  day  of  the  month,  the  word  of  the  Lord 

2  came  unto  me  saying.  Son  of  man,  write  thee  the 
name  of  the  day,  even  of  this  selfsame  day :  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  'drew  close  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  this 

3  selfsame  day.  And  utter  a  parable  unto  the  rebell- 
ious house,  and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  Set  on  the  caldron,  set  it  on,  and  also 

4  pour  water  into  it :  gather  the  pieces  thereof  into  it, 
even  every  good  piece,  the  thigh,  and  the  shoulder; 

5  fill  it  wi^  the  choice  bones.  Take  the  choice  of  the 
flock,  and  pile  also  the  bones  under  it :  make  it  boil 
well ;  yea,  let  the  bones  thereof  be  seethed  in  the 
midst  of  it. 

6  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Woe  to  the 
bloody  city,  to  the  caldron  who.se  ^rust  is  therein, 
and  whose  ^rust  is  not  gone  out  of  it !  bring  it  out 

7  piece  by  piece ;  no  lot  is  fallen  upon  it.  For  her 
blood  is  in  the  midst  of  her ;  she  set  it  upon  the 
bare  rock  she   poured   it  not  upon  the   ground,  to 

8  cover  it  with  dust ;  that  it  might  cause  fury  to  come 
up  to  take  vengeance,  I  have  set    her  blood    upon 

9  the  bare  rock,  that  it  should  not  be  covered.  There- 
fore thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Woe  to  the  bloody 

lOcity!  I  also  will  make  the  pile  great.  Heap  on  the 
wood,  make  the  fire  hot,  boil  well  the  flesh,  and 
make  thick  the  broth,  and  let  the  bones  be  burned. 

11  Then  set  it  empty  upon  the  coals  thereof,  that 
it  may  be  hot,  and  the  brass  thereof  may  burn, 
and  that  the  filthiness  of  it  may  be  molten  in  it,  that 

12  the  rust  of  it  may  be  consumed.  She  hath  wearied 
herself  with  toil :  yet  her  great  rust  goeth  not 
forth  out  of  her ;  her  rust  *goeth  not  forth  by  fire. 

13'In  thy  filthiness  is  lewdness:  because  I  have 
purged  thee  and  thou  wast  not  purged,  thou  shalt 
not  be  purged   from   thy  filthiness  any  more,  till  I 

14  have  'satisfied  my  fury  ^upon  thee.  I  the  Lord 
have  spoken  it;  it  shall  come  to  pass,  and  I  will  do 
it;  I  will  not  go  back,  neither  will  I  spare,  neither 
will  I  repent ;  according  to  thy  ways,  and  accord- 
ing to  thy  doings,  shall  they  judge  thee,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

15  Also  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

16  Son  of  man,  behold,  I  take  away  from  thee  the  de- 
sire of  thine  eyes  with  a  stroke:  yet  neither  shalt 
thou  mourn  nor  weep,  neither  shall  thy  tears  run 

17  down.  Sigh,  *but  not  aloud;  make  no  mourning 
for  the  dead,  bind  thy  head-tire  upon  thee,  and  put 
thy  shoes  upon  thy  feet,  and  cover  not  thy  lips,  and 

18^eat  not  the  bread  of  men.  So  I  spake  unto  the  peo- 
ple in  the  morning;  and  at  even  my  wife  died:  and 

191  did  in  the  morning  as  I  was  commanded.  And 
the  people  said  unto  me,  Wilt  thou  not  tell  us  what 

20 these  things  are  to  us,  that  thou  doest  so?  Then  I 
said  unto  them.  The  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 

21  me,  saying.  Speak  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  will  profane  my  sanc- 
tuary, the  pride  of  your  power,  the  desire  of  your 
eyes,  and  '"that  which  your  soul  pitieth;  and  your 
sons  and  your  daughters  whom  ye  have  left  behind 

22  shall  fall  by  the  sword.  And  ye  shall  do  as  I  have  done : 
ye  shall  not  cover  your  lips,  nor  eat  the  bread  of  men. 

23  And  your  tires  shall  be  upon  your  heads,  and  your

CHAPTER    XXV. 

God's  vengeance  on  the  nations  on  account  of  the  Jews. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  "set  thy  face  'against  the  Am'mon-ites, 
and  prophesy  against  them ; 

3  And  say  unto  the  Am'mon-ites,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord  God;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  "Because  thou 
saidst,  Aha,  against  my  sanctuary,  when  it  was  profaned; 
and  against  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  when  it  was  desolate ;  and 
against  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  when  they  went  into  captivity: 

4  Behold,  therefore  I  will  deliver  thee  to  the  fmen  of  the 
east  for  a  possession,  and  they  shall  set  their  palaces  in 
thee,  and  make  their  dwellings  in  thee :  they  shall  eat  thy 
fruit,  and  they  shall  drink  thy  milk. 

5  And  I  Aviil  make  ''Rab'bah  "a  stable  for  camels,  and  the 
Am'mon-ites  a  couching  place  for  flocks :  •'and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Because  thou  "hast 
clapped  thine  fhands,  and  stamped  with  the  ffeet,  and 
'rejoiced  in  fheart  with  all  thy  despite  against  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el ; 

7  Behold,  therefore  I  will  'stretch  out  mine  hand  upon 
thee, and  will  deliver  thee  for  ||a  spoil  to  the  heathen;  and 

I  will  cut  thee  off  from  the  people,  and  I  will  cause  thee  to 
perish  out  of  the  countries :  I  will  destroy  thee ;  and  thou 
shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

8  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Because  that  *Mo'ab  and 
'Se'ir  do  say.  Behold,  the  house  of  Ju'dah  is  like  unto  all 
the  heathen; 

9  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  open  the  fside  of  Mo'ab  from 
the  cities,  from  his  cities  which  are  on  his  frontiers,  the 
glory  of  the  country,  Beth-jesh'i-moth,  Ba'al-me'on,  and 
Kir-i-a-tha'im, 

10  "'Unto  the  men  of  the  east  ||  with  the  Am'mon-ites,  and 
will  give  them  in  possession,  that  the  Am'mon-ites  "may  not 
be  remembered  among  the  nations. 

11  And  I  will  execute  judgments  upon  Mo'ab;  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

12  *|[Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  "Because  that  E'dom  hath 
dealt  against  the  house  of  Ju'dah  fby  taking  vengeance,  and 
batn  greatly  offended,  and  revenged  himself  upon  them ; 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will  also  stretch 
out  mine  hand  upon  E'dom,  and  will  cut  off  man  and  beast 
from  it;  and  I  will  make    it    desolate  from  Te'man ;  and 

II  they  of  De'dan  shall  fall  by  the  sword. 

14  And  ''I  will  lay  my  vengeance  upon  E'dom  by  the 
hand  of  my  people  Is'ra-el:  and  they  shall  do  in  E'dom 
according  to  mine  auger  and  according  to  my  fury  ;  and  they 
shall  know  my  vengeance,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  ^Th us  saith  the  Lord  God;  'Because 'the  Phi-lis'tines 
have  dealt  by  revenge,  and  have  taken  vengeance  with  a 
despiteful  heart,  to  destroy  it  \\  for  the  old  hatred  ; 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  'I  will 


shoes    upon    your    feet:    ye    shall   not   mourn   nor 
weep ;  but  ye  shall  pine  away  in  your  iniquities,  and 

24  moan  one  toward  another.  Thus  shall  E-ze'ki-el  be 
unto  you  a  sign ;  according  to  all  that  he  hath  done 
shall  ye  do:  when  this  cometh,  then  shall  ye  knoAV 
that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 

25  And  thou,  son  of  man,  shall  it  not  be  in  the  day 
when  I  take  from  them  their  'strength,  the  joy  of  their 
^glory,  the  desire  of  their  eyes,  and  'that  whereupon 
they  set  their  heart,  their  sons  and  their  daughters, 

26  that  in  that  day  he  that  escapeth  shall  come  unto 

27  thee,  to  cause  thee  to  hear  it  with  thine  ears  ?  In  that 
day  shall  thy  mouth  be  opened  *to  him  which  is  es- 
caped, and  thou  shalt  speak,  and  be  no  more  dumb: 
so  shalt  thou  be  a  sign  unto  them;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

^O     And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 
2  ing,  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  toward  the  children  of 
3Am'mon,  and  prophesy  'against  them:  and  say  unto 
the  children  of  Am'mon,  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord 
God  ;   Thus   saith    the    Lord   God  :    Because  thou 
saidst,  Aha,  against  my  sanctuary,  when  it  was  pro- 
faned; and  against  the  land  of  Israel,  when  it  was  made 
desolate ;    and    against  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  when 
4 they  went  into  captivity:   therefore  behold,  I  will 
deliver  thee  to  the  children  of  the  east  for  a  pos- 
session, and  they  shall  set  their  encampments  in  thee, 
and  make   their   dwellings  in  thee ;    they  shall  eat 

5  thy  fruit,  and  they  shall  drink  thy  milk.  And  I  will 
make  Rab'bah  a  stable  for  camels,  and  the  children 
of  Am'mon  a  couching  place  for  flocks:  and  ye  shall 

6  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God:  Because  thou  hast  clapped  thine  hands,  and 
stamped  with    the    feet,  and    rejoiced    with  all  the 

7  despite  of  thy  soul  against  the  land  of  Is'ra-el;  there- 
fore behold,  I  have  stretched  out  mine  hand  upon 
thee,  and  will  deliver  thee  for  a  spoil  to  the  nations; 
and  I  will  cut  thee  off  from  the  peoples,  and  I  will 
cause  thee  to  perish  out  ot  the  countries:  I  will  de- 
stroy thee ;  and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

8  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Because  that  Mo'ab 
and  Se'ir  do  say,  Behold,  the  house  of  Ju'dah  is  like 

9 unto  all  the  nations;  therefore  behold,  I  will  open 
the  side  of  Mo'ab  from  the  cities,  from  his  cities 
which  are  ''on  his  frontiers,  the  glory  of  the  coun- 
try, Beth-jesh'i-moth,  Ba'al-me'on,  and  Kir-i-a-tha'im, 
lO'unto  the  children  of  the  east,  to  go  against  the  chil- 
dren of  Am'mon,  and  I  will  give  them  for  a  posses- 
sion, that  the    children   of  Am'mon    may   not   be 

11  remembered  among  the  nations:  and  I  will  execute 
judgements  upon  Mo'ab;  and  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord. 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Because  that  E'dom 
hath  dealt  against  the  house  of  Ju'dah  by  taking 
vengeance,  and  hath  greatly  offended,  and  revenged 

13 himself  upon  them;  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  I  will  stretch  out  mine  hand  upon  E'dom,  and 
will  cut  off  man  and  beast  from  it:  and  I  will  make  it 
desolate  from  Te'man;  even  unto  De'dan  shall  they 

14  fall  by  the  sword.  And  I  will  lay  my  vengeance 
upon  E'dom  by  the  hand  of  my  people  Is'ra-el ;  and 
they  shall  do  in  E'dom  according  to  mine  anger

have  dealt  by  revenge,  and  have  taken  vengeance  with 
despite  of  soul  to  destroy  it  with  perpetual  enmity ;

CHAPTER  XXVI. 

Tyrus,  for  insulting  against  Jerusalem,  is  threatened. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eleventh  year,  in  the  first 
day  of  the  month,  that  the  word  of  the  liOED  came  unto 
me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  "because  that  Ty'rus  hath  said  against  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  ''Aha,  she  is  broken  that  was  the  gates  of  the 
people :  she  is  turned  unto  me ;  I  shall  be  replenished  now 
she  is  laid  waste : 

3  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I  am 
against  thee,  O  Ty'rus,  and  will  cause  many  nations  to  come 
up  against  thee,  as  the  sea  causeth  his  waves  to  come  up. 

4  And  they  shall  destroy  the  walls  of  Ty'rus,  and  break 
doM'n  her  towers :  I  will  also  scrape  her  dust  from  her,  and 
''make  her  like  the  top  of  a  rock. 

5  It  shall  be  a  place  for  the  spreading  of  nets  ''in  the  midst 
of  the  sea :  for  I  have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God  :  and 
it  shall  become  a  spoil  to  the  nations. 

6  And  her  daughters  which  are  in  the  field  shall  be  slain 
by  the  sword ;  'and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

7  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  will  bring 
upon  Ty'rus  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  •'a  king 
of  kings,  from  the  north,  with  horses,  and  with  chariots,  and 
with  horsemen,  and  companies,  and  much  people. 

8  He  shall  slay  with  the  sword  thy  daughters  in  the  field : 
and  he  shall  "make  a  fort  against  thee,  and  ||cast  a  mount 
against  thee,  and  lift  up  a  buckler  against  thee. 

9  And  he  shall  set  engines  of  war  again.st  thy  walls,  and 
with  his  axes  he  shall  break  down  thy  towers. 

10  By  reason  of  the  abundance  of  his  horses  their  dust 
shall  cover  thee:  thy  walls  shall  shake  at  the  noise  of  the 
horsemen,  and  of  the  wheels,  and  of  the  chariots,  when  he 
shall  enter  into  thy  gates,  fas  men  enter  into  a  city  wherein 
is  made  a  breach. 

11  With  the  hoofs  of  his  horses  shall  he  tread  down  all 
thy  streets :  he  shall  slay  thy  people  by  the  sword,  and  thy 
.strong  garrisons  shall  go  down  to  the  ground. 

12  And  they  shall  make  a  spoil  of  thy  riches,  and  make  a 
prey  of  thy  merchandise :  and  they  shall  break  down  thy 
walls,  and  destroy  fthy  pleasant  houses:  and  they  shall  lay 
thy  stones  and  thy  timber  and  thy  dust  in  the  midst  of  the 
water. 

13  *And  I  will  cause  the  noise  of  'thy  songs  to  cease ;  and 
the  sound  of  thy  harps  shall  be  no  more  heard. 

14  And  *I  will  make  thee  like  the  top  of  a  rock:  thou 
shalt  be  a  place  to  spread  nets  upon  ;  thou  shalt  be  built  no 
more :  for  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  I^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to  Ty'rus;  Shall  not  the 
isles  'shake  at  the  sound  of  thy  fall,  Avhen  the  wounded  cry, 
when  the  slaughter  is  made  in  the  midst  of  thee? 

16  Then  all  the  ""princes  of  the  sea  shall  "come  down 
from  their  thrones,  and  lay  away  their  robes,  and  put  off 
their  broidered  garments:  they  shall  clothe  themselves  with 
ftrembling;  "they  shall  sit  upon  the  ground,  and  "shall 
tremble  at  every  moment,  and  "be  astonished  at  thee. 

17  And  they  shall  take  up  a  ''lamentation  for  thee,  and 
say  to  thee,  How  art  thou  destroyed,  that  want  inhabited 
fof  seafaring  men,  the  renowned  city,  which  wast  'strong  in 
the  sea,  she  and  her  inhabitants,  which  cause  their  terror 
to  be  on  all  that  haunt  it. 

18  Now,  shall  the  isles  tremble  in  the  day  of  thy  fall ; 
yea,  the  isles  that  are  in  the  sea  shall  be  troubled  at  thy 
departure. 


stretch  out  mine  hand  upon  the  Phi-lis'tines,  and  I 
will  cut  off  the  Che're-thites,  and  destroy  the  rem 
17nant  of  the  sea  coast.  And  I  will  execute  great 
vengeance  upon  them  with  furious  rebukes ;  and 
they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall 
lay  my  vengeance  upon  them. 

^0  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eleventh  year,  in  the 
first  day  of  the  month,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord 

2  came  unto  me,  saying.  Son  of  man,  because  that 
Tyre  hath  said  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Aha,  she  is 
broken  that  %cas  the  gate  of  the  peoples;  she  is 
turned  unto  me :   I  shall  be  replenished,  now  that 

3 she  is  laid  waste:  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  O  Tyre,  and  will 
cause  many  nations  to  come  up  against  thee,  as  the 

4  sea  causeth  his  waves  to  come  up.  And  they  shall 
destroy  the  walls  of  Tyre,  and  break  down  her 
towers:  I  will  also  scrape   her  du.st  from   her,  and 

6  make  her  a  bare  rock.  She  shall  be  a  place  for  the 
spreading  of  nets  in  the  midst  of  the  sea ;  for  I 
have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God:  and  she  shall 

6  become  a  spoil  to  the  nations.  And  her  daughters 
Avhich  are  in  the  field  shall  be  slain  with  the  sword: 

7  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  For 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Behold,  I  will  bring 
upon  Tyre  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 
king  of  kings,  from  the  north,  with  horses,  and  Avith 
chariots,  and  with  horsemen,  and  a  company,  and 

8  much  people.  He  shall  slay  with  the  sword  thy 
daughters  in  the  field:  and  he  shall  make  forts 
against  thee,  and  cast  up  a  mount  against  thee,  and 

9  raise  up  the  buckler  against  thee.  And  he  shall 
set  his  battering  engines  against  thy  walls,  and  with 

10  his   'axes   he    shall    break   down    thy    towers.     By 
.  reason  of  the  abundance  of  his  horses  their  dust 

shall  cover  thee:  thy  walls  shall  shake  at  the  noise 
of  the  horsemen,  and  of  the  ^wagons,  and  of  the 
chariots,  when  he  shall  enter  into  thy  gates,  as  men 

1 1  enter  into  a  city  wherein  is  made  a  breach.  With 
the  hoofs  of  his  horses  shall  he  tread  down  all  thy 
streets:  he  shall  slay  thy  people  with  the  sword, 
and  the  'pillars  of  thy  strength  shall  go  down  to  the 

12  ground.  And  they  shall  make  a  spoil  of  thy  riches, 
and  make  a  prey  of  thy  merchandise :  and  they  shall 
break  down  thy  walls,  and  destroy  thy  pleasant 
houses:  and  they  shall  lay  thy  stones  and  thy  timber 

13  and  thy  dust  in  the  midst  of  the  waters.  And  I  will 
cause  the  noise  of  thy  songs  to  cease ;  and  the  .sound 

14  of  thy  harps  shall  be  no  more  heard.  And  I  will 
make  thee  a  bare  rock :  thou  shalt  be  a  place  for  the 
spreading  of  nets ;  thou  shalt  be  built  no  more  •  for 
I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to  Tyre;  Shall  not  the 
isles  shake  at  the  sound  of  thy  fall,  when  the 
wounded  groan,  when  the  slaughter  is  made  in  the 

16 midst  of  thee?  Then  all  the  princes  of  the  sea 
shall  come  down  from  their  thrones,  and  lay  aside 
their  robes,  and  strip  off  their  broidered  garments: 
they  shall  clothe  themselves  with  trembling;  they 
shall  sit  upon  the  ground,  and  shall  tremble  every 

17  moment,  and  be  astonished  at  thee.  And  they 
shall  take  up  a  lamentation  for  thee,  and  say  to  thee, 
How  art  thou  destroyed,  that  wast  inhabited  'of  sea- 
faring men,  the  renowned  city,  which  wast  strong  in 
the  sea,  she  and  her  inhabitants,  which  caused  their 

18 terror  to  be  on  all  that  ^haunt  it!  Now  shall  the 
isles  tremble  in  the  day  of  thy  fall ;  yea,  the  isles 
that  are  in  the  sea  shall  be  dismayed  at  thy  departure.

in  the  low  parts  of  the  earth,  in  places  desolate  of  old,  with

CHAPTER  XXVIL 

The  rich  supply  of  Tyrus — The  irrecoverable  fall  thereof. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Now,  thou  son  of  man,  "take  up  a  lamentation  for  Ty'rus ; 

3  And  say  unto  Ty'rus,  'O  thou  that  art  situate  at  the 
entry  of  the  sea,  which  art  %  merchant  of  the  people  for 
many  isles,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  O  Ty'rus,  thou  hast 
said,  ''I  am  fof  perfect  beauty. 

4  Thy  borders  are  in  the  fmidst  of  the  seas,  thy  builders 
have  perfected  thy  beauty. 

5  They  have  fmade  all  thy  ship  boards  of  fir  trees  of 'Se'nir: 
they  have  taken  cedars  from  Leb'a-non  to  make  masts  for  thee. 

6  Of  the  oaks  of  Ba'shan    have   they   made   thine   oars; 

II  fthe  company  of  the  Ash'ur-ites  have  made  thy  benches 
of  ivory,  brought  out  of  •'the  isles  of  Chit'tim. 

7  Fine  linen  with  broidered  work  from  E'gypt  was  that 
which  thou  spreadest  forth  to  be  thy  sail;  ||blue  and  purple 
from  the  isles  of  E-li'shah  was  that  which  covered  thee. 

8  The  inhabitants  of  Zi'don  and  Ar'vad  were  thy  mariners ; 
thy  wise  men,  O  Ty'rus,  that  were  in  thee,  were  thy  pilots. 

9  The  ancients  of  "Ge'bal  and  the  wise  men  thereof  were 
in  thee  thy  Hfcalkers:  all  the  ships  of  the  sea  with  their 
mariners  were  in  thee  to  occupy  thy  merchandise. 

10  They  of  Per'si-a  and  of  Lud  and  of ''Phut  were  in  thine 
army,  thy  men  of  war :  they  hanged  the  shield  and  helmet 
in  thee;  they  set  forth  thy  comeliness. 

11  The  men  of  Ar'vad  with  thine  army  were  upon  thy 
walls  round  about,  and  the  Gam' ma-dim  were  in  thy  towers: 
they  hanged  their  shields  upon  thy  walls  round  about; 
they  have  made  'thy  beauty  perfect. 

12  *Tar'shish  teas  thy  merchant  by  reason  of  the  multi- 
tude of  all  hind  q/"  riches;  with  silver,  iron,  tin,  and  lead, 
they  traded  in  thy  fairs. 

13  'Ja'van,Tu'bal,andMe'shech,theywerethy merchants: they 
traded  "the  persons  of  men  and  vessels  of  brass  in  thy  1 1  market. 

14  They  of  the  house  of  "To-gar'mah  traded  in  thy  fiiirs 
with  horses  and  horsemen  and  mules. 

15  The  men  of  "De'dan  were  thy  merchants;  many  isles 
were  the  merchandise  of  thine  hand :  they  brought  thee  for 
a  present,  horns  of  ivory  and  ebony. 

16  Syr'i-a  was  thy  merchant  by  reason  of  the  multitude  of 
fthe  wares  of  thy  making :  they  occupied  in  thy  fairs  with 
emeralds,  purple,  and  broidered  work,  and  fine  linen,  and 
coral,  and  fagate. 

17  Ju'dah,  and  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,theywerethy  merchants: 
they  traded  in  thy  market  ''wheat  of  'Min'nith,  and  Pan'nag, 
and  honey,  and  oil,  and  'I |  balm. 

18  Da-mas'cus  was  thy  merchant  in  the  multitude  of  the 
wares  of  thy  making,  for  the  multitude  of  all  riches;  in  the 
wine  of  Hel'bon,  and  white  wool. 

19  Dan  also  and  Ja'van  ||going  to  and  fro  occupied  in  thy 
fairs:  bright  iron,  cassia,  and  calamus,  were  in  thy  market. 

20  'De'dan  was  thy  merchant  in  fprecious  clothes  for 
chariots. 

21  A-ra'bi-a,  and  all  the  princes  of 'Ke'dar,  fthey  occupied 
with  thee  in  lambs,  and  rams,  and  goats :  in  these  were  they 
thy  merchants. 


19 For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  When  I  shall  make 
thee  a  desolate  city,  like  the  cities  that  are  not 
inhabited;  when  I  shall  bring  up  the   deep    upon 

20 thee,  and  the  great  waters  shall  cover  thee;  then 
will  I  bring  thee  down  with  them  that  descend  into 
the  pit,  to  the  people  of  old  time,  and  will  make 
thee  to  dwell  in  the  nether  parts  of  the  earth,  'in  the 
places  that  are  desolate  of  old,  with  them  that  go 
down  to  the  pit,  that  thou  be  not  inhabited ;  ^and  I 

21  will  set  glory  in  the  land  of  the  living:  I  will  make 
thee  'a  terror,  and  thou  shalt  be  no  more:  though 
thou  be  sought  for,  yet  shalt  thou  never  be  found 
again,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

^  /      The  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  say- 

2  ing.  And  thou,  son  of  man,  take  up  a  lamentation 

3  for  Tyre ;  and  say  unto  Tyre,  O  thou  that  dwellest 
at  the  *entry  of  the  sea,  which  art  the  merchant  of 
the  peoples  unto  many  isles,  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God:  Thou,  O  Tyre,   hast   said,    I  am   perfect  in 

4  beauty.     Thy  borders  are  in  the  heart  of  the  seas, 

5  thy  builders  have  perfected  thy  beauty.  They  have 
'made  all  thy  planks  of  fir  trees  from  Se'nir:  they 
have  taken  cedars  from  Leb'a-non  to  make  a  mast  for 

6  thee.  Of  the  oaks  of  Ba'shan  have  they  made 
thine  oars;  they  have  made  thy  'benches  of  ivory 

7  inlaid  in  boxwood,  from  the  isles  of  Kit'tim.  Of  fine 
linen  with  broidered  work  from  E'gypt  was  thy  sail, 
that  it  might  be  to  thee  for  an  ensign;  blue  and 
purple  from  the  isles  of  E-li'shah  was  thine  awning. 

8  The  inhabitants  of  Zi'don  and  Ar'vad  were  thy 
rowers:  thy  wise  men,  O  Tyre,  were  in  thee,  they 

9  were  thy  pilots.  The  ^ancients  of  Ge'bal  and  the  wise 
men  thereof  were  in  thee  thy  calkers :  all  the  ships 
of  the  sea  with  their  mariners    were    in    thee    to 

10 'occupy  thy  merchandise.  Per'si-a  and  Lud  and  Put 
were  in  thine  army,  thy  men  of  war:  they  hanged 
the  shield  and  helmet  in  thee;  they  set  forth  thy 

11  comeliness.  The  men  of  Ar'vad  with  thine  army  were 
upon  thy  walls  round  about,  and  'the  Gam'ma-dim 
were  in  thy  towers:  they  hanged  their  shields  upon 
thy  walls  roundabout;  they  have  perfected  thy  beauty. 

12Tar'shish  was  thy  merchant  by  reason  of  the  multi- 
tude of  all  kinds  of  riches;  with  silver,  iron,  tin,  and 

13  lead,  they  traded  for  thy  wares.  Ja'van,  Tu'bal,  and 
Me'shech,  they  were  thy  traffickers :  they  traded  the 
persons  of  men  and  vessels  of  brass  for   thy  mer- 

14  chandise.  They  of  the  house  of  To-gar'mah  traded 
for  thy  wares  with  horses  and  war-horses  and  mules. 

15 The  men  of  De'dan  were  thy  traffickers:  many  isles 
were  the  mart  of  thine  hand  :  they  brought  thee  '"in 

16  exchange  horns  of  ivory  and  ebony.  Syr'i-a  was  thy 
merchant  by  reason  of  the  multitude  of  thy  handy- 
works  :  they  traded  for  thy  wares  with  "emeralds, 
purple,   and   broidered    work,   and   fine    linen,  and 

17  coral,  and  rubies.  Ju'dah,  and  the  land  of  Is'ra-el, 
they  were  thy  traffickers:  they  traded  for  thy  mer- 
chandise wheat  of  Min'nith,  and  '^pannag,  and  honey, 

18  and  oil,  and  balm.  Da-mas'cus  was  thy  merchant 
for  the  multitude  of  thy  handyworks,  by  reason  of 
the  multitude  of  all  kinds  of  riches;  with  the  wine 

19  of  Hel'bon,  and  white  wool.  Ve'dan  and  Ja'van 
traded  "with  yarn  for  thy  wares:  "bright  iron, 
cassia,  and  calamus,  were  among  thy  merchandi.se. 

20  De'dan   was   thy  trafficker   in   precious  cloths    for 

21  riding.  A-ra'bi-a,  and  all  the  princes  of  Ke'dar,  they 
were  the  merchants  of  thy  hand;  in  lambs,  and 
rams,  and  goats,  in  these  were  they  thy  merchants.

bound  with  cords,  and  made  of  cedar,  among  thy  merchandise.

CHAPTER  XXVIII. 

GoiTs  judgment  upon  the  princf  of  Tyrus  for  his  impious  pride, 

rpHE  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  saying, 
J-  2  Son  of  man,  say  unto  the  prince  of  Ty'rus,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ;  Because  thine  heart  is  lifted  up,  and  "thou 
hast  said,  I  am  a  god,  I  sit  in  the  seat  of  God,  ''in  the 
fmidst  of  the  seas ;  'yet  thou  art  a  man,  and  not  God, 
though  thou  set  thine  heart  as  the  heart  of  God: 

3  Behold,  ''thou  art  wiser  than  Dan'iel ;  there  is  no  secret 
that  they  can  hide  from  thee : 

4  "With  thy  wisdom  and  with  thine  understanding  thou 
hast  gotten  thee  riches,  and  hast  gotten  gold  and  silver 
into  thy  treasures : 

5  f'By  thy  great  wisdom  and  by  thy  traffic,  hast  thou 
increased  thy  riches,  and  thine  heart  is  lifted  up  because  of 
thy  riches : 

6  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Because  thou 
hast  set  thine  heart  as  the  heart  of  God ; 

7  Behold,  therefore  I  will  bring  strangers  upon  theCj-'^the  ter- 
rible of  the  nations:  and  they  shall  draw  their  swords  against 
the  beauty  of  thy  wisdom,  and  they  shall  defile  thy  brightness. 

8  They  shall  bring  thee  down  to  the  pit,  and  thou  shalt  die 
the  deaths  of  them  that  are  slain  in  the  midst  of  the  seas. 

9  Wilt  thou  yet  "say  before  him  that  slayeth  thee,  I  am 
God?  but  thou  shalt  he  a  man,  and  no  God,  in  the  hand  of 
him  that  ||  slayeth  thee. 


22  The  trafflcKers  of  She'ba  and  Ra'a-mah,  they  were  thy 
traffickers:  they  traded  for  thy  wares  with  chief  of 
all  spices,  and  with  all  precious  stones,  and  gold. 

23Ha'ran  and  Can'neh  and  E'den,  the  traffickers  of 
She'ba,  As'shur  and  Chil'mad,  were  thy  traffickers. 

24  These  were  thy  traffickers  in  choice  wares,  in  'wrap- 
pings of  blue  and  broidered  work,  and  in  chests  of 
rich  apparel,  bound  with  cords  and  made  of  cedar, 

25  among  thy  merchandise.  The  ships  of  Tar'shish 
were  thy  caravans  for  thy  merchandise:  and  thou 
wast  replenished,  and   made   very  glorious  in   the 

26  heart  of  the  seas.  Thy  rowers  have  brought  thee 
into  great  waters:  the  ea.st  wind  hath  broken  thee 

27  in  the  heart  of  the  seas.  Thy  riches,  and  thy  wares, 
thy  merchandise,  thy  mariners,  and  thy  pilots,  thy 
calkers,  and  the  ^occupiers  of  thy  merchandise,  and 
all  thy  men  of  war,  that  are  in  thee,  %ith  all  thy 
company  which  is  in  the  midst  of  thee,  shall  fall 
into  the  heart  of  the  seas  in  the  day  of  thy   ruin. 

28  At  the  sound  of  the  cry  of  thy  pilots  the  ^suburbs 

29  shall  shake.  And  all  that  handle  the  oar,  the 
mariners,  and  all  the  pilots  of  the  sea,  shall  come 
down  from  their  ships,  they  shall  stand  upon  the 

30  land,  and  shall  cause  their  voice  to  be  heard  over 
thee,  and  shall  cry  bitterly,  and  shall  cast  up  dust 
upon  their   heads,  they  shall  wallow  themselves  in 

31  the  ashes :  and  they  shall  make  themselves  bald  for 
thee,  and  gird  them  with  sackcloth,  and  they  shall 
weep   for   thee   in    bitterness    of   soul    with    bitter 

32  mourning.  And  in  their  wailing  they  shall  take  up 
a  lamentation  for  thee,  and  lament  over  thee,  saying. 
Who  is  there  like  Tyre,  like  her  that  is  brought  to 

33  silence  in  the  midst  of  the  sea  ?  When  thy  wares 
went  forth  out  of  the  seas,  thou  filledst  many 
peoples;  thou  didst  enrich  the  kings  of  the  earth 
with  the  multitude  of  thy  riches  and  of  thy  mer 

34  chandise.  'In  the  time  that  thou  wast  broken  by  the 
seas  in  the  depths  of  the  waters,  thy  merchandise 
and  all  thy  company  did  fall  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

35  All  the  inhabitants  of  the  isles  are  astonished  at 
thee,  and  their  kings   are   horribly  afraid,  they  are 

36  troubled  in  their  countenance.  The  merchants 
among  the  peoples  hiss  at  thee ;  thou  art  become  'a 
terror,  and  thou  shalt  never  be  any  more. 

^O     The  word  of  the  Lord  came  again   unto   me, 

2  saying,  Son  of  man,  say  unto  the  prince  of  Tyre, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Because  tl  ine  heart  is 
lifted  up,  and  thou  hast  said,  I  am  a  god,  I  sit  in  the 
seat  of  God,  in  the  'midst  of  the  seas ;  yet  thou  art 
man,  and    not   God,  though    thou   didst   set   thine 

3  heart  as  the  heart  of  God :  behold,  thou  art  wiser 
than  Dan'iel;  there  is  no  secret  that  they  can  hide 

4  from  thee :  by  thy  wisdom  and  by  thine  understand- 
ing thou  hast  gotten  thee  'riches,  and   hast  gotten 

5 gold  and  silver  into  thy  treasures:  by  thy  great 
wisdom  and  by  thy  traffic  hast  thou  increased  thy 
'riches,  and  thine  heart  is  lifted  up  because  of   thy 

6 'riches:  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Be- 
cause thou  hast  set  thine  heart  as  the  heart  of  God ; 

7  therefore  behold,  I  will  bring  strangers  upon  thee, 
the  terrible  of  the  nations:  and  they  shall  draw 
their   swords   against   the    beauty   of   thy    wisdom, 

8  and  they  shall  'defile  thy  brightness.  They  shall 
bring  thee  down  to  the  pit;  and  thou  shalt  die 
the  deaths   of   them    that   are   slain,    in    the    heart 

9  of  the  seas.  Wilt  thou  yet  say  before  him  that 
slayeth  thee,  I  am  God?  but  thou  art  man,  and 
not  God,  in  the  hand  of  him  that  '"woundeth  thee.

10  Thou  shalt  die  the  deatlis  of  *tlie  UDCircumcised  by  the 
hand  of  strangers :  for  I  have  spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

11  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

12  Son  of  man,  'take  up  a  lamentation  upon  the  king  of 
Ty'rus,  and  say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  *Thou 
sealest  up  the  sum,  full  of  wisdom,  and  perfect  in  beauty. 

13  Thou  hast  been  in  'E'den  the  garden  of  God;  every 
precious  stone  was  thy  covering,  the  ||sardius,  topaz,  and 
the  diamond,  the  ||  beryl,  the  onyx,  and  the  jasper,  the  sap- 
phire, the  II emerald,  and  the  carbuncle,  and  gold:  the 
workmanship  of  "'thy  tabrets  and  of  thy  pipes  was  prepared 
in  thee  in  the  day  that  thou  wast  created. 

14  Thou  art  the  anointed  "cherub  that  covereth ;  and  I  have 
set  thee  80 :  thou  wast  upon  "the  holy  mountain  of  God ;  thou 
hast  walked  up  and  down  in  the  midst  of  the  stones  of  fire. 

15  Thou  wast  perfect  in  thy  ways  from  the  day  that  thou 
wast  created,  till  iniquity  was  found  in  thee. 

16  By  the  multitude  of  thy  merchandise  they  have  filled 
the  midst  of  thee  with  violence,  and  thou  hast  sinned: 
therefore  I  will  cast  thee  as  profane  out  of  the  mountain  of 
God:  and  I  will  destroy  thee, ''O covering  cherub,  from  the 
midst  of  the  stones  of  fire. 

17  'Thine  heart  Avas  lifted  up  because  of  thy  beauty,  thou 
hast  corrupted  thy  wisdom  by  reason  of  thy  brightness :  I 
will  cast  thee  to  the  ground,  I  will  lay  thee  before  kings,, 
that  they  may  behold  thee. 

18  Thou  ha.st  defiled  thy  sanctuaries  by  the  multitude  of 
thine  iniquities,  by  the  iniquity  of  thy  traffic ;  therefore  will 
I  bring  forth  a  fire  from  the  midst  of  thee,  it  shall  devour 
thee,  and  I  will  bring  thee  to  ashes  upon  the  earth  in  the 
sight  of  all  them  that  behold  thee. 

19  All  they  that  know  thee  among  the  people  shall  be 
astonished  at  thee :  ''thou  shalt  be  fa  terror,  and  never  shali 
thou  be  any  more. 

20  ^Again  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

21  Son  of  man,  'set  thy  face  'against  Zi'don,  and  prophesy 
against  it, 

22  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  "Behold,  I  am 
again.st  thee,  O  Zi'don ;  and  I  will  be  glorified  in  the  midst 
of  thee :  and  ^they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I 
shall  have  executed  judgments  in  her,  and  shall  be  "sancti- 
fied in  her. 

23  'For  I  will  send  into  her  pestilence,  and  blood  into  her 
streets;  and  the  wounded  shall  be  judged  in  the  midst  of 
her  by  the  sword  upon  her  on  every  side;  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

24  %^And  there  shall  be  no  more  °a  pricking  brier  unto 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  nor  any  grieving  thorn  of  all  that  are 
round  about  them,  that  despised  them ;  and  they  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  When  I  shall  have  ""gathered 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el  from  the  people  amoug  whom  they  are 
scattered,  and  shall  be  "sanctified  in  them  in  the  sight  of  the 
heathen,  then  shall  they  dwell  in  their  land  that  I  have  given 
to  my  servant  Ja'cob. 

26  And  they  shall  ''dwell  ||  safely  therein,  and  shall  'build 
houses,  and  -^plant  vineyards;  yea,  they  shall  dwell  with 
confidence,  when  I  have  executed  judgments  upon  all  those 
that  II  despise  them  round  about  them ;  and  they  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord  their  God. 

CHAPTER  XXIX. 

The  judgment  of  Pharaoh— The  desolation  of  Egypt. 

IN  the   tenth    year,   in    the  tenth  month,   in  the  twelfth 
day  of  the  month,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 
saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  "set  thy  face  against  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt,  and  prophesy  against  him,  and  'against  all  E'gypt: 

3  Speak,  and  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  "^Behold,  I 
am  against  thee,  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  the  great  ""dragon 


10  Thou  snait  die  the  deaths  of  the  uncircumcised  by 
the  hand  of  strangers :  for  I  have  spoken  it,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

1 1  Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 

12  ing.  Son  of  man,  take  up  a  lamentation  for  the  king  of 
Tyre,  and  say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  : 
Thou  sealest  up  the  'sum,  full  of  wisdom,  and  perfect 

13  in  beauty.  Thou  wast  in  E'den  the  garden  of  God; 
every  precious  stone  was  thy  covering,  the  ^sardius, 
the  topaz,  and  the  diamond,  the  beryl,  the  onyx,  and 
the  jasper,  the  sapphire,  the 'emerald,  and  the^carbun- 
cle,  and  gold :  the  workmanship  of  thy  tabrets  and  of 
thy  pipes  was  in  thee ;  in  the  day  that  thou  wast  created 

14  they  were  prepared.  Thou  wast  the  anointed  cherub 
that  covereth :  and  I  set  thee,  so  that  thou  wast  upon 
the  holy  mountain  of  God ;  thou  hast  walked  up  and 

15  down  in  the  midst  of  the  stones  of  fire.  Thou  wast 
perfect  in  thy  Avays  from  the  day  that  thou   wast 

16  created,  till  unrighteousness  was  found  in  thee.  By 
the  multitude  of  thy  traffic  they  filled  the  midst  of 
thee  with  violence,  and  thou  hast  sinned :  therefore 
have  I  cast  thee  as  profane  out  of  the  mountain  of 
God ;  and  I  have  destroyed  thee,  O  covering  cherub, 

17  from  the  midst  of  the  stones  of  fire.  Thine  heart 
was  lifted  up  because  of  thy  beauty,  thou  hast  cor- 
rupted thy  wisdom  by  reason  of  thy  brightness :  I 
have  cast  thee  to  the  ground,  I  have  laid  thee  before 

18  kings,  that  they  may  behold  thee.  By  the  multi- 
tude of  thine  iniquities,  in  the  unrighteousness  of  thy 
traffic,  thou  hast  profaned  thy  sanctuaries;  therefore 
have  I  brought  forth  a  fire  from  the  midst  of  thee,  it 
hath  devoured  thee,  and  I  have  turned  thee  to  ashes 
upon  the  earth  in  the  sight  of  all  them  that  behold 

19  thee.  All  they  that  know  thee  among  the  peoples 
shall  be  astonished  at  thee:  thou  art  become  °a 
terror,  and  thou  shalt  never  be  any  more. 

20  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 

21  ing,  Son  of  man,  set  thy   face   toward  Zi'don,  and 

22  prophesy  against  it,  and  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  :  Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  O  Zi'don ;  and  I 
will  be  glorified  in  the  midst  of  thee :  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall  have 
executed  judgements  in  her,  and  shall  be  sanctified 

23  in  her.  For  I  will  send  into  her  pestilence  and 
blood  in  her  streets;  and  the  Avounded  shall  *fall  in 
the  midst  of  her,  with  the  SAVord  upon  her  on  e\-ery 
side;  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

24  And  there  shall  be  no  more  a  pricking  brier  unto 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  nor  a  grieving  thorn  of  any  that 
are  round  about  them,  that  did  despite  unto  them; 
and  they  shall  knoAv  that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 

25  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  When  I  shall  have  gath- 
ered the  house  of  Is'ra-el  from  the  peoples  among 
whom  they  are  scattered,  and  shall  be  sanctified  in 
them  in  the  sight  of  the  nations,  then  shall  they  dwell 
in  their  OAvn  land  Avhich  I  gave  to  my  servant  Ja'cob. 

26  And  they  shall  dAvell  securely  therein ;  yea,  they  .shall 
build  houses,  and  plant  vineyards,  and  shall  dAvell 
securely  ;  Avhen  I  haA^e  executed  judgements  upon  all 
those  that  do  them  despite  round  about  them;  and 
they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  their  God. 

'^v  In  the  tenth  year,  in  the  tenth  month,  in  the 
twefth  day  of  the  month,  the  Avord  of  the  Lord 

2  came  unto  me,  saying,  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face 
against    Pha'raoh    king    of  E'gypt,    and    prophesy 

3  against  him,  and  against  all  E'gypt :  speak,  and  say. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Behold,  I  am  against 
thee,  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  the   great   dragon

that  lieth  in  the  midst  of  his  nvers,  'wtuch  hath  said,  My 
river  is  mine  own,  and  I  have  made  it  for  myself. 

4  But  ^I  will  put  hooks  in  thy  jaws,  and  I  will  cause  the 
fish  of  thy  rivers  to  stick  unto  thy  scales,  and  I  will  bring 
thee  up  out  of  the  midst  of  thy  rivers,  and  all  the  fish  of 
thy  rivers  shall  stick  unto  thy  scales. 

5  And  I  will  leave  thee  throvm  into  the  wilderness,  thee 
and  all  the  fish  of  thy  rivers :  thou  shalt  fall  upon  the  fopen 
fields ;  "thou  shalt  not  be  brought  together,  nor  gathered : 
*!  have  given  thee  for  meat  to  the  beasts  of  the  field  and  to 
the  fowls  of  the  heaven. 

6  And  all  the  inhabitants  of  E'gypt  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  LoBD,  because  they  have  been  a  'staflP  of  reed  to  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  *\Vhen  they  took  hold  of  thee  by  thy  hand,thou  didst  break, 
and  rend  all  their  shoulder :  and  when  they  leaned  upon  thee, 
thou  brakest,and  madest  all  their  loins  to  be  at  a  stand. 

8  ^Therefore  thussaith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I  will  bring 
'a  sword  upon  thee,  and  cut  off  man  and  beast  out  of  thee. 

9  And  the  land  of  E'gypt  shall  be  desolate  and  waste ;  and 
they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  :  because  he  hath  said. 
The  river  is  mine,  and  I  have  made  it. 

10  Behold,  therefore  I  am  against  thee,  and  against  thy 
rivers,  "and  X  will  make  the  land  of  E'gypt  futterly  waste 
and  desolate,  ||"from  the  to^ver  of  fSy-e'ne  even  unto  the 
border  of  E-thi-o'pi-a. 

1 1  "No  foot  of  man  shall  pass  through  it,  nor  foot  of  beast 
shall  pass  through  it,  neither  shall  it  be  inhabited  forty  years. 

12  ^And  I  will  make  the  land  of  E'gypt  desolate  in  the 
midst  of  the  countries  that  are  desolate,  and  her  cities 
among  the  cities  that  are  laid  waste  shall  be  desolate  forty 
years  :  and  I  will  scatter  the  E-gyp'tians  among  the  nations, 
and  will  disperse  them  through  the  countries. 

13  1[Yet  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  At  the  «end  of  forty 
years  will  I  gather  the  E-gyp'tians  from  the  people  whither 
they  were  scattered: 

14  And  I  will  bring  again  the  captivity  of  E'gypt,  and  will 
cause  them  to  return  into  the  land  of  Path'ros,  into  the  land  of 
their  ||  habitation;  and  they  shall  be  there  a  fba.se  kingdom. 

15  It  shall  be  the  basest  of  the  kingdoms;  neither  shall 
it  exalt  itself  any  more  above  the  nations :  for  I  will  dimin- 
ish them,  that  they  shall  no  more  rule  over  the  nations. 

16  And  it  shall  be  no  more  'the  confidence  of  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  bringeth  their  iniquity  to  remembrance, 
when  they  shall  look  after  them :  but  they  shall  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord  God. 

17  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seven  and  twentieth  year, 
in  the  first  month,in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  'Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  caused 
his  army  to  serve  a  great  service  against  Ty'rus :  every  head 
ivas  made  bald,  and  every  shoulder  was  peeled :  yet  had  he 
no  wages,  nor  his  army,  for  Ty'rus,  for  the  service  that  he 
had  served  against  it : 

19  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD ;  Behold,  I  will  give 
the  land  of  E'gypt  unto  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  ; 
and  he  shall  take  her  multitude,  and  ftake  her  spoil,  and 
take  her  prey ;  and  it  shall  be  the  wages  for  his  army. 

20  I  have  given  him  the  land  of  E'gypt  \\for  his  labour 
wherewith  he  "served  against  it,  because  they  wrought  for 
me,  .saith  the  Lord  God. 

21  %In  that  day  "'will  I  cause  the  horn  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el 
to  bud  forth,  and  I  will  give  thee  "the  opening  of  the  mouth  in 
the  midst  of  them  ;  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  LoKD. 

CHAPTER    XXX. 

The   desolation    of  Egypt   and   key   helpers. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  and  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  'Howl  ye,  Woe  worth  the  day ! 


that  lieth  in  the  midst  of  his  rivers,  which  hath  said. 
My  river  is  mine  own,  and  I  have  made  it  for  myself. 

4  And  I  will  put  hooks  in  thy  jaws,  and  I  will  cause 
the  fish  of  thy  rivers  to  stick  unto  thy  scales  ;  and  I  will 
bring  thee  up  out  of  the  midst  of  thy  rivers,  with  all  the 

5fi3h  of  thy  rivers  which  stick  unto  thy  scales.  And  I 
will  leave  thee  thrown  into  the  wilderness,  thee  and  all 
the  fish  of  thy  rivers  :  thou  shalt  fall  upon  the  'open 
field ;  thou  shalt  not  be  brought  together,  nor  gath- 
ered :  I  have  given  thee  for  meat  to  the  beasts  of  the 

6  earth  and  to  the  fowls  of  the  heaven.  And  all  the  in- 
habitants of  E'gypt  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord, 
because  they  have  been  a  staff  of  reed  to  the  house  of 

7  Is'ra-el.     When  they  took  hold  of  thee  ^by  thy  hand, 
thou  didst  break,  and  didst  rend  all  their  shoulders 
and  when  they  leaned  upon  thee,  thou  brakest,  and 

8  madest  all  their  loins  to  'be  atastand.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God:  Behold,  I  will  bring  a  sword 
upon  thee,  and  will  cut  off  from  thee  man  and  beast. 

9  And  the  land  of  E'gypt  shall  be  a  desolation  and  a 
waste ;  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  : 
because  he  hath  said.  The  river  is  mine,  and  I  have 

10  made  it.  Therefore  behold,  I  am  againit  thee,  and 
against  thy  rivers,  and  I  will  make  the  land  of  E'gypt 
an  utter  waste   and  desolation,  *from  the  tower   of 

11  Sev'e-neheven  unto  the  border  of  E-thi-o'pi-a.  No  foot 
of  man  shall  pass  through  it,  nor  foot  of  beast  shall 
pass  through  it,  neither  shall  it  be  inhabited  forty 

12  years.  And  I  will  make  the  land  of  E'gypt  a  desola- 
tion in  the  midst  of  the  countries  that  are  desolate, 
and  her  cities  among  the  cities  that  are  laid  waste 
shall  be  a  desolation  forty  years :  and  I  will  scatter 
the  E-gyp'tians  among  the  nations,  and  will  disperse 

13  them  through  the  countries.  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  :  At  the  end  of  forty  years  will  I  gather  the 
E-gyp'tians  from  the  peoples  whither  they  were  scat- 

14  tered  :  and  I  will  bring  again  the  captivity  of  E'gypt, 
and  will  cause  them  to  return  into  the  land  of  Path'- 
ros, into  the  land  of  their  ''birth ;  and  they  shall  be 

15  there  a 'base  kingdom.  It  shall  be  the  basest  of  the 
kingdoms;  neither  shall  it  any  more  lift  itself  up  above 
the  nations :  and  I  will  diminish  them,  that  they  shall 

16  no  more  rule  over  the  nations.  And  it  shall  be  no 
more  the  confidence  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  bringing 
iniquity  to  remembrance,  when  they  turn  to  look  after 
them :  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  God 

17  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  seven  and  twentieth  year, 
in  the  first  month,  in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  the 

18  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying,  Son  of 
man,  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon  caused  his 
army  to  serve  a  great  service  against  Tyre:  every 
head  was  made  bald,  and  every  shoulder  was  peeled : 
yet  had  he  no  wages,  nor  his  army,  from  Tyre,  for 

19  the  service  that  he  had  served  against  it:  therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Behold,  I  will  give  the 
land  of  E'gypt  unto  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar  king  of  Bab'y- 
lon  ;  and  he  shall  carry  off  her  multitude,  and  take 
her  spoil,  and  take  her  prey ;    and  it  shall  be  the 

20  wages  for  his  army.  I  have  given  him  the  land  of 
E'gypt  ^as  his  recompence  for  which  he  served,  be- 
cause they  wrought  for  me,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

21  In  that  day  will  I  cause  an  horn  to  bud  forth  unto 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  I  will  give  thee  the  open- 
ing of  the  mouth  in  the  midst  of  them;  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

OU  The  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  say- 

2ing,  Son    of  man,   prophesy,  and   say.  Thus    saith 

1      the   Lord   God:     Howl  ye.  Woe  worth  the  day!

3  For  Hhe  day  is  near,  even  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  near, 
a  cloudy  day ;  it  shall  be  the  time  of  the  heathen. 

4  And  the  sword  shall  come  upon  E'gypt,  and  great  ||  pain 
shall  be  in  E-thi-o'pi-a,  when  the  slain  shall  fall  in  E'gypt, 
and  they  "shall  take  away  her  multitude,  and  ''her  foundation 
shall  be  broken  down. 

5  E-thi-o'pi-a,  and  fLib'y-a,  and  Lyd'i-a,  and  'all  the 
mingled  people,  and  Chub,  and  the  fmen  of  the  land  that  is 
in  league,  shall  fall  with  them  by  the  sword. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  They  also  that  uphold  E'gypt 
shall  fall ;  and  the  pride  of  her  power  shall  come  down : 
jl-'from  the  tower  of  Sy-e'ne  shall  they  fall  in  it  by  the 
sword,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

7  "And  they  shall  be  desolate  in  the  midst  of  the  coun- 
tries that  are  desolate,  and  her  cities  shall  be  in  the  midst 
of  the  cities  that  are  wasted. 

8  And  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  have  set 
a  fire  in  E'gypt,  and  xchen  all  her  helpers  shall  be  fdestroyed. 

9  In  that  day  ''shall  messengers  go  forth  from  me  in  ships 
to  make  the  careless  E-thi-o'pi-ans  afraid,  and  great  pain  shall 
come  upon  them,  as  in  the  day  of  E'gypt :  for,  lo,  it  cometh. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  'T  will  also  make  the  multi- 
tude of  E'gypt  to  cease  by  the  hand  of  Neb-u-chad-rez'zar 
king  of  Bab'y-lon. 

11  He  and  his  people  with  him,  *the  terrible  of  the 
nations  shall  be  brought  to  destroy  the  land:  and  they 
shall  draw  their  swords  against  E'gypt,  and  fill  the  land 
with  the  slain. 

12  And  'I  will  make  the  rivers  fdry,  and  "sell  the  land 
into  the  hand  of  the  wicked :  and  I  will  make  the  land 
waste,  and  fall  that  is  therein,  by  the  hand  of  strangers :  I 
the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will  also  "destroy  the 
idols,  and  I  will  cause  their  images  to  cease  out  of  Noph ; 
"and  there  shall  be  no  more  a  prince  of  the  land  of  E'gypt : 
"and  I  will  put  a  fear  in  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

14  And  I  will  make  'Path'ros  desolate,  and  will  set  fire 
in  ''llZo'an,  'and  will  execute  judgments  in  No. 

15  And  I  will  pour  my  fury  upon  ||Sin,  the  strength  of 
E'gypt ;  and  'I  will  cut  off  the  multitude  of  No. 

16  And  I  will  "set  fire  in  E'gypt:  Sin  shall  have  great 
pain,  and  No  shall  be  rent  asunder,  and  Noph  shall  have 
distresses  daily. 

17  The  young  men  of  ||A'ven  and  of  ||Pi-be'seth  shall  fall 
by  the  sword :  and  these  cities  shall  go  into  captivity. 

18  *At  Te-haph'ne-hes  also  the  day  shall  be  ||  darkened, 
when  I  shall  break  there  the  yokes  of  E'gypt:  and  the 
pomp  of  her  strength  shall  cease  in  her :  as  for  her,  a  cloud 
shall  cover  her,  and  her  daughters  shall  go  into  captivity. 

19  Thus  will  I  execute  judgments  in  E'gypt:  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

20  %And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eleventh  year,  in  the  first 
month,  in  the  seventh  day  of  the  month,  that  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

21  Son  of  man,  I  have  "broken  the  arm  of  Pha'raoh  king 
of  E'gypt;  and,  lo,  'it  shall  not  be  bound  up  to  be  healed, 
to  put  a  roller  to  bind  it,  to  make  it  strong  to  hold 
the  sword. 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  behold,  I  am 
against  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  and  will  "break  his  arms, 
the  strong,  and  that  which  was  broken;  and  I  will  cause 
the  sword  to  fall  out  of  his  hand.  • 

23  'And  I  will  scatter  the  E-gyp'tians  among  the  nations, 
and  will  disperse  them  through  the  countries. 

24  And  I  will  .itrengtheu  the  arms  ot  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 
and  put  r^y&NVora  in  his  hand:  but  I  will  break  Pha'raoh's 
arm.s,  and  he  shall  groan  before  him  with  the  groanings  of 

jto  deadly  wounded  man. 

\  26  But  I  will  strengthen  the  arms  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon, 


3  For  the  day  is  near,  even  the  day  of  the  Lord  is 
near,  a  day  of  clouds ;  it  shall  be  the  time  of  the 

4  heathen.  And  a  sword  shall  come  upon  E'gypt,  and 
anguish  shall  be  in  'E-thi-o'pi-a,  when  the  slain  shall 
fall  in  E'gypt ;  and  they  shall  take  away  her  multi- 
tude, and  her  foundations  shall    be  broken   down 

5  'E-thi-o'pi-a,  and  Put,  and  Lud,  and  all  the  mingled 
people,  and  Cub,  and  the  children  of  ^the  land  that 
is  in  league,  shall  fall  with  them  by  the  sword. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  They  alsc  .aat  uphold 
E'gypt  shall  fall,  and  the  pride  of  her  pc  ,ver  shall 
come  down  :  ^from  the  tower  of  Sev'e-nen  shall  they 

7  fell  in  it  by  the  sword,  saith  the  Lord  God.  And 
they  shall  be  desolate  in  the  midst  of  the  countries 
that  are  desolate,   and    her   cities   shall  be   in   the 

8  midst  of  the  cities  that  are  wasted.  And  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  have  set  a 
fire  in  E'gypt,  and  all    her  helpers   are  Mestroyed. 

9  In  that  day  shall  messengers  go  forth  from  before 
me  in  ships  to  make  the  careless  E-thi-o'pi-ans  afraid ; 
and  there  shall  be  anguish  upon  them,  as  in  the  day 
of  E'gypt ;  for,  lo,  it  cometh. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  I  will  also  make  the 
multitude  of  E'gypt  to  cease,  by  the  hand  of  Neb-u- 

11  chad-rez'zarkingofBab'y-lon.  Heandhispeoplewith 
him,  the  terrible  of  the  nations,  shall  be  brought  in 
to  destroy  the  land ;  and  they  shall  draw  their  swords 

12  against  E'gypt,  and  fill  the  land  with  the  slain.  And 
I  will  make  the  rivers  dry,  and  will  sell  the  land 
into  the  hand  of  evil  men  ;  and  I  will  make  the  land 
desolate,  and  ''all  that  is  therein,  by  the  hand  of 
strangers :  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  I  will  also  destroy 
the  idols,  and  I  will  cause  the  'images  to  cease 
from  Noph ;  and  there  shall  be  no  more  a  prince 
out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt:  and    I  will   put  a   fear 

14  in  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And  I  will  make  Path'ros 
desolate,  and  will  set  a  fire  in    Zo'an,  and  will  exe- 

15  cute  judgements  in  No.  And  I  will  pour  my  fury 
upon  Sin,  the  strong  hold  of  E'gypt ;  and  I  will  cut 

16  off  the  multitude  of  No.  And  I  will  set  a  fire 
in  E'gypt;  Sin  shall  be  in  great  anguish,  and  No 
shall   be   broken   up:  and  Noph  shcdl  have  adver- 

17saries'in  the  day-time.  The  young  men  of  A'ven 
and  of  Pi-be'seth  shall  fall  by  the  sword:  and  these 

18  cities  shall  go  into  captivity.  At  Te-haph'ne-hes  also 
the  day  shall  'withdraw  it.self,  when  1  shall  break 
there  the  yokes  of  E'gypt,  and  the  pride  of  her 
power  shall  cease  in  her:  as  for  her,  a  cloud  shall 
cover  her,  and  her  daughters  shall  go  into  captivity. 

19 Thus  will  I  execute  judgements  in  E'gypt:  and 
they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eleventh  year,  in  the 
first  month,  in  the  seventh  day  of  the  month,  that 

21  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying,  Son 
of  man,  I  have  broken  the  arm  of  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt ;  and,  lo,  it  hath  not  been  bound  up  to  apply 
healing  medicine,  to  put  a  roller  to  bind  it,  that  it 

22  be  strong  to  hold  the  sword.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  am  again.st  Pha'raoh  king 
of  E'gypt,  and  will  break  his  arms,  the  strong,  and  that 
which  M'as  broken ;  and  I  will  cause  the  sword  to  fall 

23  out  of  his  hand.  And  I  will  scatter  the  E-gyp'tians 
among  the  nations,  and  will  disperse  them  through  the 

24  countries.  And  I  will  strengthen  the  arms  of  the  king 
of  Bab'y-lon,  and  put  ray  sword  in  his  hand :  but  I  will 
break  the  arms  of  Pha'raoh,  and  he  shall  groan  before 
him  with  the  groanings  of  a  deadly  wounded  man. 

25  And  I  will  holdup  the  arms  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon,

CHAPTER    XXXI. 

A  recital  unto  Pharaoh  of  the  glory  of  Assyria. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eleventh  year,  in  the  third 
month,  in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying. 

2  Sou  of  man,  speak  unto  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  and  to 
his  multitude;  "Whom  art  thou  like  in  thy  greatness? 

3  ^'Behold,  the  As-syr'i-an  was  a  cedar  in  Leb'a-non 
fwith  fair  branches,  and  with  a  shadowing  shroud,  and  of  a 
high  stature ;  and  his  top  was  among  the  thick  boughs. 

4  "The  waters  ||  made  him  great,  the  deep  ||  set  him  up  on 
high  with  her  rivers  running  round  about  his  plants,  and 
sent  out  her  ||  little  rivers  unto  all  the  trees  of  the  field. 

5  Therefore  ''his  height  was  exalted  above  all  the  trees  of 
the  field,  and  his  boughs  were  multiplied,  and  his  branches 
became  long  because  of  the  multitude  of  waters,  j|  when  he 
shot  forth. 

6  All  the  'fowls  of  heaven  made  their  nests  in  his  boughs, 
and  under  his  branches  did  all  the  beasts  of  the  fi**ld  bring 
forth  their  young,  and  under  his  shadow  dwelt  all  great 
nations. 

7  Thus  was  he  fair  in  his  greatness,  in  the  length  of  his 
branches:  for  his  root  was  by  great  waters. 

8  The  cedars  in  the  ■'garden  of  God  could  not  hide  him : 
the  fir  trees  were  not  like  his  boughs,  and  the  chestnut 
trees  were  not  like  his  branches :  not  any  tree  in  the  garden 
of  God  was  like  unto  him  in  his  beauty. 

9  I  have  made  him  fair  by  the  multitude  of  his  branches : 
so  that  all  the  trees  of  E'den,  that  were  in  the  garden  of  God, 
envied  him. 

10  •lITherefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Because  thou  hast 
lifted  up  thyself  in  height,  and  he  hath  shot  up  his  top  among 
the  thick  boughs,  and  "his  heart  is  lifted  up  in  his  height ; 

11  I  have  therefore  delivered  him  into  tne  hand  of  the 
mighty  one  of  the  heathen;  f^e  shall  surely  deal  with 
him :  I  have  driven  him  out  for  his  wickedness. 

12  And  strangers,  Hhe  terrible  of  the  nations,  have  cut 
him  off,  and  have  left  him :  'upon  the  mountains  and  in  all 
the  valleys  his  branches  are  fallen,  and  his  boughs  are 
broken  by  all  the  rivers  of  the  land ;  and  all  the  people  of 
the  earth  are  gone  down  from  his  shadow,  and  have  lett  him. 

13  'Upon  his  ruin  shall  all  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  remain, 
and  all  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  be  upon  his  branches : 

14  To  the  end  that  none  of  all  the  trees  by  the  waters 
exalt  themselves  for  their  height,  neither  shoot  up  their  top 
among  the  thick  boughs,  neither  their  trees  ||  stand  up  in 
their  height,  all  that  drink  water :  for  'they  are  all  delivered 
unto  death,  "to  the  nether  parts  of  the  earth,  in  the  midst  of 
the  children  of  men,  with  them  that  go  down  to  the  pit. 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  In  the  day  when  he  went 
down  to  the  grave  I  caused  a  mourning:  I  covered  the 
deep  for  him,  and  I  restrained  the  floods  thereof,  and  the 
great  waters  were  stayed  :  and  I  caused  Leb'a-non  fto  mourn 
for  him,  and  all  the  trees  of  the  field  fainted  for  him. 

16  I  made  the  nations  to  "shake  at  the  sound  of  his  fall, 
when  I  "cast  him  down  to  hell,  with  them  that  descend  into 
the  pit :  and  "all  the  trees  of  E'den,  the  choice  and  best  of 
Leb  a-non,  all  that  drink  water,  'shall  be  comforted  in  the 
nether  parts  of  the  earth. 

17  They  also  went  down  into  hell  with  him,  unto  them 
that  be  slain  with  the  sword ;  and  they  that  were  his  arm, 
thai  'dwelt  under  his  shadow  in  the  midst  of  the  heathen. 


and  the  arms  of  Pha'raoh  shall  fall  down :  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  shall  put 
my  sword  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  and 
26  he  shall  stretch  it  out  upon  the  land  of  E'gypt.  And 
I  will  scatter  the  E-gyp'tians  among  the  nations,  and 
disperse  them  through  the  countries:  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

Ol  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  eleventh  year,  in  the  third 
month,  in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  that  the  word  of 

2  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying,  Son  of  man,  say  unto 
Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt,  and  to  his  multitude :  Whom 

3art  thou  like  in  thy  greatness  ?  Behold,  the  As-syr'i-an 
was  a  cedar  in  Leb'a-non  with  fair  branches,  and  with 
a  shadowing  shroud,  and  of  an  high  stature;  and  his 

4  top  was  among  the  'thick  boughs.  The  waters  nour- 
ished him,  the  deep  made  him  to  grow :  her  rivers  ran 
round  about  her   plantation ;   and  she  sent  out  her 

5  channels  unto  all  the  trees  of  the  field.  Therefore  his 
stature  was  exalted  above  all  the  trees  of  the  field ;  and 
his  boughs  were  multiplied,  and  his  branches  became 
long  by  reason  of  ^many  waters,  when  he  shot  them 

6  forth.  All  the  fowls  of  heav^en  made  their  nests  in 
his  boughs,  and  under  his  branches  did  all  the 
beasts  of  the  field  bring  forth  their  young,  and  under 

7  his  shadow  dwelt  all  great  nations.  Thus  was  he 
fair  in  his  greatness,  in  the  length  of  his  branches: 

8  for  his  root  was  by  ^many  waters.  The  cedars  in  the 
garden  of  God  could  not  hide  him :  the  fir  trees  were 
not  like  his  boughs,  and  the  plane  trees  were  not  as 
his  branches;  nor  was  any  tree  in  the  garden  of  God 

9  like  unto  him  in  his  beauty.  I  made  him  fair  by  the 
multitude  of  his  branches:  so  that  all  the  trees  of 
E'den,  that  were  in  the  garden  of  God,  envied  him. 

10  Therefore  thus  'said  the  Lord  God  :  Because  thou 
art  exalted  in  stature,  and  he  hath  set  his  top 
among  the  'thick  boughs,  and  his  heart  is  lifted  up 

11  in  his  height;  I  will  even  deliver  him  into  the  hand 
of  the  mighty  one  of  the  nations;  he  shall  surely 
deal  with  him  :  I  have  driven  him  out  for  his  wicked- 

12ness.  And  strangers,  the  terrible  of  the  nations, 
have  cut  him  off,  and  have  left  him:  upon  the 
mountains  and  in  all  the  valleys  his  branches  are 
fallen,  and  his  boughs  are  broken  by  all  the  water- 
courses of  the  land ;  and  all  the  peoples  of  the  earth 
are  gone  down  from  his  shadow,  and  have  left  him. 

IS  Upon  his  ruin  all  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  shall 
dwell,  and  all  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  be  upon 

14  his  branches  :  to  the  end  that  none  of  all  the  trees  by 
the  waters  exalt  themselves  in  their  stature,  neither 
set  their  top  among  the  thick  boughs,  nor  that  their 
mighty  ones  stand  up  in  their  height,  even  all  that 
drink  water:  for  they  are  all  delivered  unto  death, 
to  the  nether  parts  of  the  earth,  in  the  midst  of  the 
children  of  men,  with  them  that  go  down  to  the  pit. 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  In  the  day  when  he 
went  down  to  *hell  I  caused  a  mourning :  I  covered 
the  deep  for  him,  and  I  restrained  the  rivers  thereof, 
and  the  great  waters  were  stayed :  and  I  caused 
Leb'a-non  'to  mourn  for  him,  and  all  the  trees  of  the 

16  field  tainted  for  him.  I  made  the  nations  to  shake 
at  the  sound  of  his  fall,  when  I  cast  him  down  to 
*hell  with  them  that  descend  into  the  pit:  and  all 
the  treps  of  E'den,  the  choice  and  best  of  Leb'a-non, 
all  that  drink  water,  were  comforted  in  the  nether 

17  parts  of  the  earth.  They  also  went  down  into  *hell 
with  him  unto  them  that  be  slain  by  the  sword;  yea, 
they  that  were  his  arm,  that  dwelt  under  his  shadow 
in  the  midst  of  the  nations.

CHAPTER    XXXII. 

A  lamentation  for  the  fearful  /all  of  Egypt. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  twelfth  year,  in  the  twelfth 
month,  in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  thai  the  word  of 
the  LoKD  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  "take  up  a  lamentation  for  Pha'raoh  king 
of  E'gypt,  and  say  unto  him,  'Thou  art  like  a  young  lion  of 
the  nations,  "and  thou  art  as  a  ||  whale  in  the  seas:  and  thou 
camest  forth  with  thy  rivers,  and  troubledst  the  waters  with 
thy  feet,  and  ''fouledst  their  rivers. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  I  will  therefore  'spread  out 
my  net  over  thee  with  a  company  of  many  people ;  and 
they  shall  bring  thee  up  in  my  net. 

4  Then  Avill  I  leave  thee  upon  the  land,  I  will  cast  thee 
forth  upon  the  open  field,  and  "will  cause  all  the  fowls  of 
the  heaven  to  remain  upon  thee,  and  I  will  fill  the  beasts 
of  the  whole  earth  with  thee. 

5  And  I  will  lay  thy  flesh  *upon  the  mountains,  and  fill 
the  valleys  with  thy  height. 

6  I  will  also  water  with  thy  blood  ||  the  land  wherein  thou 
swimmest,  even  to  the  mountains ;  and  the  rivers  shall  be 
full  of  thee. 

7  And  when  I  shall  ||put  thee  out,  'I  will  cover  the 
heaven,  and  make  the  stars  thereof  dai  k ;  I  will  cover  the 
sun  with  a  cloud,  and  the  moon  shall  not  give  her  light. 

8  All  the  fbright  lights  of  heaven  will  I  make  fdark  over 
thee,  and  set  darkness  upon  thy  land,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

9  I  will  also  fvex  the  hearts  of  many  people,  when  I  shall 
bring  thy  destruction  among  the  nations,  into  the  countries 
which  thou  hast  not  known. 

10  Yea,  I  will  make  many  people  'amazed  at  thee,  and  their 
kings  shall  be  horribly  afraid  for  thee,  when  I  shall  bran- 
dish my  sword  before  them ;  and  "they  shall  tremble  at  every 
moment,  every  man  for  his  own  life,  in  the  day  of  thy  fall. 

11  ^""For  thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD;  The  sword  of  the 
king  of  Bab'y-lon  shall  come  upon  thee. 

12  By  the  swords  of  the  mighty  will  I  cause  thy  multitude 
to  fall,  "the  terrible  of  the  nations,  all  of  them :  and  "they 
shall  spoil  the  pomp  of  E'gypt,  and  all  the  multitude  thereof 
shall  be  destroyed. 

13  I  will  destroy  also  all  the  beasts  thereof  from  beside  the 
great  waters;  "neither  shall  the  foot  of  man  trouble  them 
any  more,  nor  the  hoofs  of  beasts  trouble  them^ 

14  Then  will  I  make  their  waters  deep,  and  cause  their 
rivers  to  run  like  oil,  saith  the  Lord  GoD. 

15  When  I  shall  make  the  land  of  E'gypt  desolate,  and 
the  country  shall  be  fdestitute  of  that  whereof  it  was  full, 
when  I  shall  smite  all  them  that  dwell  therein,  «then  shall 
they  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

16  This  is  the  "^lamentation  wherewith  they  shall  lament 
her :  the  daughters  of  the  nations  shall  lament  her :  they 
shall  lament  for  her,  even  for  E'gypt,  and  for  all  her  multi- 
tude, saith  the  Lord  God. 

17  ^It  came  to  pass  also  in  the  twelfth  year,  in  the 
fifteenth  day  of  the  month,  that  the  word  of  the  LoED  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  wail  for  the  multitude  of  E'gypt,  and  'cast 
them  down,  even,  her,  and  the  daughters  of  the  famous 
nations,  unto  the  nether  parts  of  the  earth,  with  them  that 
go  down  into  the  pit. 

19  'Whom  dost  thou  pa.s8  in  beauty?  "go  down,  and  be 
thou  laid  with  the  uncircumci.sed. 

20  They  shall  fall  in  the  midst  of  <iewi  tlwi  are  slain  by 


18  To  whom  art  thou  thus  like  in  glory  and  in  great- 
ness among  the  trees  of  E'den  ?  yet  shalt  thou  be 
brought  down  with  the  trees  of  E'den  unto  the 
nether  parts  of  the  earth :  thou  shalt  lie  in  the  midst 
of  the  uncircnmcised,  with  them  that  be  slain  by 
the  sword.  This  is  Pha'raoh  and  all  his  multitude 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

0<4  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  twelfth  year,  in  the 
twelfth  month,  in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  that  the 

2  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying,  Son  of 
man,  take  up  a  lamentation  for  Pha'raoh  king  of 
E'gypt,  and  say  unto  him,  Thou  wast  likened  unto 
a  young  lion  of  the  nations:  yet  art  thou  as  a 
dragon  in  the  seas ;  and  thou  brakest  forth  'with  thy 
rivers,  and  troubledst  the  waters  with  thy  feet,  and 

3  fouledst  their  rivers.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  I 
will  spread  out  my  net  over  thee  with  a  company  of 
many  peoples;  and  they  shall  bring  thee  up  in  my 

4  net.  And  I  will  leave  thee  upon  the  land,  I  will 
cast  thee  forth  upon  the  open  field,  and  will  cause  all 
the  fowls  of  the  heaven  to  settle  upon  thee,  and  I 
will  satisfy  the  beasts  of  the  whole  earth  with  thee. 

5  And  I  will  lay  thy  flesh   upon  the  mountains,  and 

6  fill  the  valleys  with  thy  ^height.  I  will  also  water 
with  thy  blood  the  land  wherein  thou  swimmest, 
even  to  the  mountains;  and  the  watercourses  shall 

7  be  full  of  thee.  And  when  I  shall  extinguish  thee, 
I  will  cover  the  heaven,  and  make  the  stars  thereof 
'dark ;  I  will  cover  the  sun  with  a  cloud,  and  the 

8  moon  shall  not  give  her  light.  All  the  bright  lights 
of  heaven  will  I  make  'dark  over  thee,  and  set  dark- 

9  ness  upon  thy  land,  saith  the  Lord  God.  I  will  also 
vex  the  hearts  of  many  peoples,  when  I  shall  bring 
thy  destruction  among  the  nations,  into  the  coun- 

10  tries  which  thou  hast  not  known.  Yea,  I  will  make 
many  peoples  amazed  at  thee,  and  their  kings  shall 
be  horribly  afraid  for  thee,  when  I  shall  brandish  my 
sword  before  them ;  and  they  shall  tremble  at  every 
moment,  every  man  for  his  own  life,  in  the  day  of 

1 1  thy  fall.     For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  The  sword 

12  of  the  king  of  Bab'y-lon  shall  come  upon  thee.  By 
the  swords  of  the  mighty  will  I  cause  thy  multitude 
to  fall ;  the  terrible  of  the  nations  are  they  all :  and 
they  shall  spoil  the  pride  of  E'gypt,  and  all  the  mul- 

13titude  thereof  shall  be  destroyed.  I  will  destroy 
also  all  the  beasts  thereof  from  beside  ''many  waters ; 
neither  shall  the  foot  of  man  trouble  them  any  more, 

14nor  the  hoofs  of  beasts  trouble  them.  Then  will  I 
'make  their  waters  clear,  and  cause  their   rivers   to 

15  run  like  oil,  saith  the  Lord  God.  When  I  shall 
make  the  land  of  E'gypt  desolate  and  was-te,  a  land 
destitute  of  'that  whereof  it  was  full,  when  I  shall 
smite  all  them   that  dwell  therein,  then  shall  they 

16  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  This  is  the  lamentation 
whertwith  they  shall  lament ;  the  daughters  of  the 
nations  shall  lament  therewith :  for  E'gypt,  and  for 
all  her  multitude,  shall  they  lament  therewith,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

17  It  came  to  pass  also  in  the  twelfth  year,  in  the

CHAPTER  XXXIII. 

God  sheweih  the  justice  of  his  ways  toward  the  penitent. 

AGAIN  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  speak  to  "the  children  of  thy  people,  and 
say  unto  them,  'fWhen  I  bring  the  sword  upon  a  land,  if 
the  people  of  the  land  take  a  man  of  their  coasts,  and  set 
him  for  their  'watchman  : 

3  If  when  he  seeth  the  sword  come  upon  the  land,  he 
blow  the  trumpet,  and  warn  the  people ; 

4  Then  fwhosoever  heareth  the  sound  of  the  trumpet, 
and  taketh  not  warning;  if  the  sword  come  and  take  him 
away,  ''his  blood  sfiall  be  upon  his  own  head. 

5  He  heard  the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  took  not  warn- 
ing; his  blood  shall  be  upon  him.  But  he  that  taketh 
warning  shall  deliver  his  soul. 

6  But  if  the  watchman  see  the  sword  come,  and  blow 
not  the  trumpet,  mxA  the  people  be  not  warned ;  if  the 
sword    come,  and    take    any    person    from    among   them, 


the  sword :    'she  is  delivered   to   the  sword :   draw 

21  her  away  and  all  her  multitudes.  The  strong 
among  the  mighty  shall  speak  to  him  out  of  the 
midst  of  ^hell  with  them  that  help  him:  they  are 
gone  down,  they  lie  still,  even  the  uncircumcised, 

22  slain  by  the  sword.  As'shur  is  there  and  all  her 
company ;  his  graves  are  round  about  him :   all  of 

23  them  slain,  fallen  by  the  sword :  whose  graves  are 
set  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  pit,  and  her  com- 
pany is  round  about  her  grave:  all  of  them  slain, 
fallen  by  the  sword,  which  caused  terror  in  the  land 

24  of  the  living.  There  is  E'lam  and  all  her  multitude 
round  about  her  grave :  all  of  them  slain,  fallen  by 
the  sword,  which  are  gone  down  uncircumcised  into 
the  nether  parts  of  the  earth,  which  caused  their 
terror  in  the  land  of  the  living,  and  have  borne  their 

25  shame  with  them  that  go  down  to  the  pit.  They 
have  set  her  a  bed  in  the  midst  of  the  slain  with  all 
her  multitude :  her  graves  are  round  about  her :  all 
of  them  uncircumcised,  slain  by  the  sword;  for 
their  terror  was  caused  in  the  land  of  the  living,  and 
they  have  borne  their  shame  with  them  that  go  down 
to  the  pit :  he  is  put  in  the  midst  of  them  that  be 

26  slain.  There  is  Me'shech,  Tu'bal,  and  all  her  multi- 
tude; her  graves  are  round  about  her:  all  of  them 
uncircumcised,  slain  by  the  sword ;  for  they  caused 

27  their  terror  in  the  land  of  the  living.  ^And  they 
shall  not  lie  with  the  mighty  that  are  fallen  of  the  un- 
circumcised, which  are  gone  down  to  ^hell  with  their 
weapons  of  war,  and  have  laid  their  swords  under 
their  heads,  and  their  iniquities  are  upon  their  bones; 
for  they  were  the  terror  of  the  mighty  in  the  land  of 

28  the  living.  But  thou  shalt  be  broken  in  the  midst  of 
the  uncircumcised,  and  shalt  lie  with  them  that  are 

29  slain  by  the  sword.  There  is  E'dom,  her  kings  and 
all  her  princes,  which  *in  their  might  are  laid  with 
them  that  are  slain  by  the  sword:  they  shall  lie 
with  the  uncircumcised,  and  with  them  that  go  down 

30  to  the  pit.  There  be  the  princes  of  the  north,  all  of 
them,  and  all  the  Zi-do'ni-ans,  which  are  gone  down 
with  the  slain ;  '^in  the  terror  which  they  caused  by 
their  might  they  are  ashamed;  and  they  lie  uncir- 
cumcised with  them  that  are  slain  by  the  sword, 
and  bear  their  shame  with  them  that  go  down  to 

31  the  pit.  Pha'raoh  shall  see  them,  and  shall  be  com- 
forted over  all  his  multitude  :  'even  Pha'raoh  and  all 
his  army,  slain  by  the  sword,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

32  For  I  have  put  'his  terror  in  the  land  of  the  living: 
and  he  shall  be  laid  in  the  midst  of  the  uncircum- 
cised, with  them  that  are  slain  by  the  sword,  even 
Pha'raoh  and  all  his  multitude,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

vO      And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 

2  ing,  Son  of  man,  speak  to  the  children  of  thy  people, 
and  say  unto  them.  When  I  bring  the  sword  upon  a 
land,   if  the    people  of  the  land  take  a  man  from 

3  among  them,  and  set  him  for  their  watchman :  if 
when    he   seeth   the  sword  come  upon  the  land,  he 

4  blow  the  trumpet,  and  warn  the  people ;  then  who- 
soever heareth  the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  taketh 
not  warning,  if  the  sword  come,  and  take  him  away, 

5  his  blood  shall  be  upon  his  own  head.  He  heard 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  took  not  warning; 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  him  :  whereas  if  he  had 
taken  warning   he   should   have   delivered  his  soul. 

6  But  if  the  watchman  see  the  sword  come,  and  blow  not 
the  trumpet,  and  the  people  be  not  w-arned,  and  the 
sword  come,  and  take  any  person  from  among  them;

word  at  my  mouth,  and  warn  them  from  me. 

8  When  I  say  unto  the  wicked,  O  wicked  man,  thou  shalt 
surely  die ;  if  thou  dost  not  speak  to  warn  the  wicked  from 
his  way,  that  wicked  man  shall  die  in  his  iniquity ;  but  his 
blood  will  I  require  at  thine  hand. 

9  Nevertheless,  if  thou  warn  the  wicked  of  his  way  to 
turn  from  it ;  if  he  do  not  turn  from  his  way,  he  shall  die 
in  his  iniquity;  but  thou  hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

10  Therefore,  O  thou  son  of  man,  speak  unto  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el;  Thus  ye  speak,  saying.  If  our  transgressions  and 

ir  sins  be  upon  us,  and  we  "pine  away  in  them,  'how 
should  we  then  live? 

11  Say  unto  them,  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  'I 
have  no  pleasure  in  the  death  of  the  wicked;  but  that 
the  wicked  turn  from  his  way  and  live :  turn  ye,  turn 
ye  from  your  evil  ways;  for  *why  will  ye  die,  O  house  of 
Is'ra-el? 

12  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man,  say  unto  the  children  of 
thy  people.  The  'righteousness  of  the  righteous  shall  not 
deliver  nim  in  the  day  of  his  transgression :  as  for  the 
wickedness  of  the  wicked,  '"he  shall  not  fall  thereby  in  the 
day  that  he  turneth  from  his  wickedness:  neither  shall  the 
righteous  be  able  to  live  for  his  righteousness  in  the  day 
that  he  sinneth. 

13  When  I  shall  say  to  the  righteous,  that  he  shall  surely 
live ;  "if  he  trust  to  his  own  righteousness,  and  commit  in- 
iquity, all  his  righteousnesses  shall  not  be  remembered ;  but 
for  his  iniquity  that  he  hath  committed,  he  shall  die  for  it. 

14  Again,  "when  I  say  unto  the  wicked.  Thou  shalt 
surely  die ;  if  he  turn  from  his  sin,  and  do  fthat  which  is 
lawful  and  right ; 

15  Jf  the  wicked  "restore  the  pledge,  'give  again  that  he 
had  robbed,  walk  in  "^the  statutes  of  life,  without  commit- 
ting iniquity ;  he  shall  surely  live,  he  shall  not  die. 

16  'None  of  his  sins  that  he  hath  committed  shall  be 
mentioned  unto  him:  he  hath  done  that  which  is  lawful 
and  right ;  he  shall  surely  live. 

17  %'Yet  the  children  of  thy  people  say.  The  way  of  the 
Lord  is  not  equal :  but  as  for  them,  their  way  is  not  equal. 

18  "When  the  righteous  turneth  from  his  righteousness, 
and  committeth  iniquity,  he  shall  even  die  thereby. 

19  But  if  the  wicked  turn  from  his  wickedness,  and  do 
that  which  is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  live  thereby. 

20  %Yet  ye  say,  "The  way  of  the  Lokd  is  not  equal.  O 
ye  house  of  Is'ra-el,  I  will  judge  you  every  one  after  his 
ways. 

21  ^And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  twelfth  year  "of  our  cap- 
tivity, in  the  tenth  month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the  month, 
'that  one  that  had  escaped  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  came  unto  me, 
saying,  "The  city  is  smitten. 

22  Now  ""the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  upon  me  in  the 
evening,  afore  he  that  was  escaped  came;  and  had  opened 
my  mouth,  until  he  came  to  me  in  the  morning;  "and  my 
mouth  was  opened,  and  I  was  no  more  dumb. 

23  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

24  Son  of  man,  ''they  that  inhabit  those  'wastes  of  the 
land  of  Is'ra-el  speak,  saying,  ■'^A'bra-ham  was  one,  and  he 
inherited  the  laua  :  "but  we  are  many ;  the  land  is  given  us 
for  inheritance. 

25  Wherefore  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
"■Ye  eat  with  the  blood,  and  'lift  up  your  eyes  toward  your 
idols,  and  *shed  blood  :  and  shall  ye  possess  the  land  ? 

26  Ye  stand  upon  your  sword,  ye  work  abomination,  and 
ye  "defile  every  one  his  neighbour's  wife :  and  shall  ye  pos- 
sess the  land? 


he  is  taken  away  'in    his   iniquity,   but  his  blood 

7  will  I  require  at  the  watchman's  hand.  So  thou, 
son  of  man,  I  have  set  thee  a  watchman  unto  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el;  therefore  hear  the   word   at  my 

8  mouth,  and  give  them  warning  from  me.  When  I 
say  unto  the  wicked,  O  wicked  man,  thou  shalt 
surely  die,  and  thou  dost  not  speak  to  warn 
the  wicked  from  his  way ;  that  wicked  man  shall  die 
'in  his  iniquity,  but  his  blood  will  I  require  at  thine 

9  hand.  Nevertheless,  if  thou  warn  the  wicked  of 
his  way  to  turn  from  it,  and  he  turn  not  from  his 
way;  he  shall  die  'in  his  iniquity,  but  thou  hast 
delivered  thy  soul. 

10  And  thou,  son  of  man,  say  unto  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el :  Thus  ye  speak,  saying,  ^Our  transgressions 
and  our  sins  are  upon  us,  and  we    pine    away    'in 

11  them;  how  then  should  we  live?  Say  unto  them, 
As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  I  have  no  pleasure  in 
the  death  of  the  wicked;  but  that  the  wicked  turn 
from  his  way  and  live :  turn  ye,  turn  ye  from  your 
evil  ways ;  for  why  will  ye  die,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el  ? 

12  And  thou,  son  of  man,  say  unto  the  children  of  thy 
people.  The  righteousness  of  the  righteous  shall 
not  deliver  him  in  the  day  of  his  transgression  ;  and 
as  for  the  wickedness  of  the  wicked,  he  shall  not 
fall  thereby  in  the  day  that  he  turneth  from  his 
wickedness:  neither  shall  he  that  is  righteous  be 
able  to  live  thereby  in  the   day   that  he    sinneth. 

13  When  I  say  to  the  righteous,  that  he  shall  surely 
live;  if  he  trust  to  his  righteousness,  and  commit 
iniquity,  none  of  his  righteous  deeds  shall  be  remem- 
bered; but  'in  his  iniquity  that  he  hath  committed, 

14 'therein  shall  he  die.  Again,  when  I  say  unto  the 
wicked.  Thou  shalt  surely  die ;  if  he  turn  from  his 

15 sin  and  do  *that  which  is  lawful  and  right;  if  the 
wicked  restore  the  pledge,  give  again  that  he  had 
taken  by  robbery,  walk  in  the  statutes  of  life,  com- 
mitting no  iniquity;  he  shall    surely  live,  he  shall 

16  not  die.  None  of  his  sins  that  he  hath  committed 
shall  be  remembered  against  him':  he  hath  done 
that  which  is  lawful  and  right;    he  shall  surely  live. 

17  Yet  the  children  of  thy  people  say.  The  way  of  the 
Lord  is  not  equal :  but  as  for  them,   their   way    is 

18  not  equal.  When  the  righteous  turneth  from  his 
righteousness,    and    committeth    iniquity,    he    shall 

19  even  die  'therein.  And  when  the  wicked  turneth 
from  his  wickedness,  and  doeth  that  which  is  law- 

20  ful  and  right,  he  shall  live  thereby.  Yet  ye  say.  The 
way  of  the  Lord  is  not  equal.  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  I 
will  judge  you  every  one  after  his  ways. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  twelfth  year  of  our 
captivity,  in  the  tenth  month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the 
month,  that  one  that  had  escaped  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 

22  came  unto  me,  saying.  The  city  is  smitten.  'Now 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  had  been  upon  me  in  the 
evening,  afore  he  that  was  escaped  came;  and  he 
had  opened  my  mouth,  until  he  came  to  me  in  the 
morning ;  and  my  mouth  was  opened,  and  I  was  no 

23  more  dumb.     And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto 

24  me,  saying.  Sou  of  man,  they  that  inhabit  those 
waste  places  in  the  land  of  Is'ra-el  speak,  saying, 
A'bra-ham  was  one,  and  he  inherited  the  land :  but 
we  are   many;  the  land  is  given  us  for  inheritance. 

25  Wherefore  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  :  Ye  eat  with  the  blood,  and  lift  up  your  eyes 
unto  your  idols,  and  shed  blood :  and  shall  ye  pos- 

26sess  the  land?  Ye  stand  upon  your  sword,  ye 
work  abomination,  and  ye  defile  every  one  his

27  Say  thou  thus  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
As  I  live,  surely  "they  that  are  in  the  wastes  shall  fall  by 
the  sword,  and  him  that  is  in  the  open  field  "will  I  give  to 
the  beasts  fto  be  devoured,  and  they  that  be  in  the  forts 
and  "in  the  caves  shall  die  of  the  pestilence. 

28  "For  I  will  lay  the  land  fmost  desolate  and  the  ''pomp 
of  her  strength  shall  cease;  and  'the  mountains  of  Is  ra-el 
shall  be  desolate,  that  none  shall  pass  through. 

29  Then  shall  they  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I 
have  laid  the  land  most  desolate,  because  of  all  their  abom- 
inations which  they  have  committed. 

30  ^Also,  thou  son  of  man,  the  children  of  thy  people 
still  are  talking  || against  thee  by  the  walls  and  in  the  doors 
of  the  houses,  and  'speak  one  to  another,  every  one  to  his 
brother,  saying.  Come,  I  pray  you,  and  hear  what  is  the 
word  that  cometh  forth  from  the  Lord. 

31  And  "they  come  unto  thee  faa  the  people  cometh, 
and  1 1  they  'sit  before  thee  as  my  people,  ana  they  hear  thy 
words,  but  they  will  not  do  them ;  "for  with  their  mouth 
fthey  shew  much  love,  but  "their  heart  goeth  after  their 
covetousness. 

32  And,  lo,  thou  art  unto  them  as  fa  very  lovely  song  of 
one  that  bath  a  pleasant  voice,  and  can  play  well  on  an  in- 
strument :  for  they  hear  thy  words,  but  they  do  them  not.

''shall  they  know  that  a  prophet  hath  been  among  them, 

CHAF-TER    XXXIV 

God's  providence  for  his  flock— The  kingdom  of  Christ. 

AKD  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against  the  "shepherds  of  Is'- 
ra-el,  prophesy,  and  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  unto  the  shepherds;  'Woe  be  to  the  shepherds  of  Is'- 
ra-el  that  do  feed  themselves!  should  not  the  shepherds 
feed  the  flocks? 

3  "Ye  eat  the  fat,  and  ye  clothe  you  with  the  wool,  ""ye  kill 
them  that  are  fed :  bid  ye  feed  not  the  flock. 

4  'The  diseased  have  ye  not  strengthened,  neither  have 
ye  healed  that  which  was  sick,  neither  have  ye  bound  up 
that  which  was  broken,  neither  have  ye  brought  again  that 
which  was  driven  away,  neither  have  ye  -^sought  that  which 
was  lost;  but  witVi  'force  and  with  cruelty  have  ye  ruled 
them. 

5  *And  they  were  'scattered,  || because  there  is  no  shep- 
herd ;  *and  they  became  meat  to  all  the  beasts  of  the  field, 
when  they  were  scattered. 

6  My  sheep  wandered  through  all  the  mountains,  and 
upon  every  high  hill :  yea,  my  flock  was  scattered  upon  all 
the  face  of  the  earth,  and  none  did  search  or  seek  ajter 
them. 

7  ^Therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  ; 

8  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  surely  because  my  flock 
became  a  prey,  and  my  flock  'became  meat  to  every  beast 
of  the  field,  because  there  was  no  shepherd,  neither  did  my 
shepherds  search  for  my  flock,  "'but  the  shepherds  fed  them- 
selves, and  fed  not  my  flock ; 

9  Therefore,  O  ye  shepherds,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  ; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I  am  against  the 
.shepherds;  and  "I  Avill  require  my  flock  at  their  hand,  and 
cause  them  to  cease  from  feeding  the  flock;  neither  shall 
the  shepherds  "feed  themselves  any  more ;  for  I  will  deliver 
my  flock  from  their  mouth,  that  they  may  not  be  meat  for 
them. 

11  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold  I,  even  I,  \Vill 
both  search  my  sheep,  and  seek  them  out. 

12  fAs  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his  flock  in  the  day  that 
he  is  among  his  sheep  that  are  scattered ;  so  will  I  seek  out' 
my  sheep,  and  will  deliver  them  out  of  all  places  where 
they  have  been  scattered  in  "the  cloudy  and  d"ark  day. 

13  And  «I  will  bring  them  out  from  the  people,  and  gather 


27  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  them,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  :  As  I  live,  surely  they  that  are  in  the  waste 
places  shall  fall  by  the  sword,  and  him  that  is  in  the 
open  field  will  I  give  to  the  beasts  to  be  devoured, 
and  they  that  be  in  the  strong  holds  and  in  the  caves 

28 shall  die  of  the  pestilence.  And  I  will  make  the 
land  a  desolatiou  and  an  astonishment,  and  the  pride 
of  her  power  shall  cease;  and  the  mountains  of 
Is'ra-el    shall    be    desolate,    that    none    shall    pass 

29  through.  Then  shall  they  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord,  when  I  have  made  the  land  a  desolation  and 
an  astonishment,  because  of  all  their  abominations 

30  which  they  have  committed.  And  as  for  thee,  son 
of  man,  the  children  of  thy  people  talk  of  thee  by 
the  walls  and  in  the  doors  of  the  houses,  and  speak 
one  to  another,  every  one  to  his  brother,  saying. 
Come,  I  pray  you,  and  hear  what  is  the  word  that 

31  cometh  forth  from  the  Lord.  And  they  come  unto 
thee  as  the  people  cometh,  and  they  sit  before  thee 
as  my  people,  and  they  hear  thy  words,  but  do  them 
not :  for  with  their  mouth  they  shew  much  love,  but 

32  their  heart  goeth  after  their  gain.  And,  lo,  thou  art 
unto  them  as  'a  very  lovely  song  of  one  that  hath  a 
pleasant  voice,  and  can  play  well  on  an  instrument : 

33  for  they  hear  thy  words,  but  they  do  them  not.  And 
when  this  cometh  to  pass,  (behold,  it  cometh,)  then 
shall  they  know  that  a  prophet  hath  been  among  them. 

v"if     And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 

2ing,  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against  the  shepherds  of 
Is'ra-el  prophesy,  and  say  unto  them,  even  to  the 
shepherds.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Woe  unto 
the  shepherds  of  Is'ra-el  that  do  feed  themselves ! 

3 should  not  the  shepherds  feed  the  sheep?  Ye  eat 
the  fat,  and  ye  clothe  you  with  the  wool,  ye  kill  the 

4 fallings;  but  ye  feed  not  the  sheep.  The  diseased 
have  ye  not  strengthened,  neither  have  ye  healed 
that  which  was  sick,  neither  have  ye  bound  up  that 
which  was  broken,  neither  have  ye  brought  again 
that  which  was  driven  away,  neither  have  ye  sought 
that  which  was  lost;  but  with  force  and  with  rigour 

5  have  ye  ruled  over  them.  And  they  were  scattered, 
because  there  was  no  shepherd:  and  they  became 
meat  to  all  the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  were  scat- 

Gtered.  My  sheep  wandered  through  all  the  mount- 
ains, and  upon  every  high  hill :  yea,  my  sheep  were 
scattered  upon  all  the  face  of  the  earth;  and  there 

7  was  none  that  did  search  or  seek  after  them.     There- 

8  fore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  :  As 
I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God,  surely  forasmuch  as  my 
sheep  became  a  prey,  and  my  she^p  became  meat 
to  all  the  beasts  of  the  field,  because  there  was  no 
shepherd,  neither  did  my  shepherds  search  for  my 
sheep,  but  the  shepherds  fed  themselves,  and  fed  not 

9 my  sheep;  therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the  word 
10 of  the  Lord;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Behold,  I 
am  against  the  shepherds ;  and  I  will  require  my 
sheep  at  their  hand,  and  cause  them  to  cease  from 
feeding  the  sheep ;  neither  shall  the  shepherds  feed 
themselves  any  more;  and  I  will  deliver  my  sheep 
from  their  mouth,  that  they  may  not  be  meat  for 

11  them.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD :  Behold,  I  my- 
self, even  I,  will  search  for  my  sheep,  and  will  seek 

12  them  out.  As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his  flock  in 
191  the  day  that  he  is  among  his  shee])  that  are  .scat- 
^  tered  abroad,  so  M'ill  I  seek  out  my  sheep;  and  I 

will  deliver  them  out  of  all  places  whither  they  have 

13  been  scattered  in  ^the  cloudy  and  dark  day.  And 
I  will  bring  them  out  from  the  peoples,  and  gather

them  from  the  countries,  and  will  bring  them  to  their  own 
land,  and  feed  them  upon  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el  by  the 
rivers,  and  in  all  the  inhabited  places  of  the  country. 

14  'I  will  feed  them  in  a  good  pasture,  and  upon  the  high 
mountains  of  Is'ra-el  shall  their  fold  be :  'there  shall  they 
lie  in  a  good  fold,  and  in  a  fat  pasture  shall  they  feed  upon 
the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el. 

15  1  will  feed  my  flock,  and  I  will  cause  them  to  lie  down, 
saith  the  Lord  GoD. 

16  'I  will  seek  that  which  was  lost,  and  bring  again  that 
which  was  driven  away,  and  will  bind  up  that  which  teas 
broken,  and  will  strengthen  that  which  was  sick :  but  I  will 
destroy  "the  fat  and  the  strong;  I  will  feed  them  "with 
judgment. 

17  And  as  for  you,  O  my  flock,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
"Behold,  I  judge  between  fcattle  and  cattle,  between  the 
rams  and  the  fhe-goats. 

18  Seemeth  it  a  small  thing  unto  you  to  have  eaten  up  the 
good  pasture,  but  ye  must  tread  down  with  your  feet  the 
residue  of  your  pastures?  and  to  have  drunk  of  the  deep 
waters,  but  ye  must  foul  the  residue  with  your  feet? 

19  And  as  for  my  flock,  they  eat  that  which  ye  have 
trodden  with  your  feet ;  and  they  drink  that  which  ye  have 
fouled  with  your  feet. 

20  ^Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto  them ; 
'Behold,  I,  even  I,  will  judge  between  the  fat  cattle  and 
between  the  lean  cattle. 

21  Because  ye  have  thrust  with  side  and  with  shoulder, 
and  pushed  all  the  diseased  with  your  horns,  till  ye  have 
scattered  them  abroad; 

22  Therefore  will  I  save  my  flock,  and  they  shall  no  more 
be  a  prey;  and  "I  will  judge  between  cattle  and  cattle. 

23  And  I  will  set  up  one  'Shepherd  over  them,  and  he 
shall  feed  them,  'even  my  servant  Da'vid;  he  shall  feed 
them,  and  he  shall  be  their  shepherd. 

24  And  ■'I  the  Lord  will  be  their  God,  and  my  servant 
Da'vid  'a  prince  among  them;  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 

25  And  'l  will  make  with  them  a  covenant  of  peace,  and 
"will  cause  the  evil  beasts  to  cease  out  of  the  land :  and  they 
*shall  dwell  safely  in  the  wilderness,  and  sleep  in  the  woods. 

26  And  I  will  make  them  and  the  places  round  about  *my 
hill  'a  blessing;  and  I  will  'cause  the  shower  to  come  down 
in  his  season ;  there  shall  be  ""showers  of  blessing. 

27  And  "the  tree  of  the  field  shall  yield  her  fruit,  and  the 
earth  shall  yield  her  increase,  and  they  shall  be  safe  in  their 
land,  and  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  have 
"broken  the  bands  of  their  yoke,  and  delivered  them  out  of 
the  hand  of  those  that  "served  themselves  of  them. 

28  And  they  shall  no  more  «be  a  prey  to  the  heathen, 
neither  shall  the  beasts  of  the  land  devour  them ;  but  'they 
shall  dwell  safely-,  and  none  shall  make  tliem  afraid. 

29  And  I  will  raise  up  for  them  a  'plant  ||of  renown,  and 
they  shall  be  no  more  ^consumed  with  hunger  in  the  land, 
'neither  bear  the  shame  of  the  heathen  any  more. 

30  Thus  shall  they  know  that  "I  the  Lord  their  God  am 
with  them,  and  that  they,  even  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  are  my 
people,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

31  And  ye  my  'flock,  the  flock  of  my  pasture,  are  men, 
and  I  am  your  God,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER  XXXV. 

The  judgment  of  mount  Seir  for  their  hatred  of  Israel. 

MOREOVER  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  Son  of  man,  "set  thy  face  against  *mount  Se'ir,  and 
"prophesy  against  it, 

3  And  say  unto  it.  Thus  saith  the  Ivord  God;  Behold,  O 
mount  Se'ir,  I  am  against  thee,  and  ''I  will  stretch  out  iniue 
hand  against  thee,  and  I  will  make  thee  fnost  desolate. 

4  •!  will  lay  thy  cities  waste,  and  thou  shalt  be  desolate, 
and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 


them  fromthe  countries,  andwillbring  them  into  their 
own  land ;  and  I  will  feed  them  upon  the  mountains 
of  Is'ra-el,  by  the  watercourses,  and  in  all  the  inhabited 

14  places  of  the  country.  I  will  feed  them  with  good 
pasture,  and  upon  \he  mountains  of  the  height  of 
I.s'ra-el  shall  their  fold  be :  there  shall  they  lie  down  in 
a  good  fold,  and  on  fat  pasture  shall  they  feed  upon 

15  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el.  I  myself  will  feed  my  sheep, 
and  I  Avill  cause  them  to  lie   down,  saith  the  Lord 

16  God.  I  will  seek  that  which  was  lost,  and  will 
bring  again  that  which  was  driven  away,  and  will 
bind  up  that  which  was  broken,  and  will  strengthen 
that  which  was  sick :  and  the  fat  and  the  strong  I 

17  will  destroy;  I  will  feed  them  in  judgement.  And 
as  for  you,  O  my  flock,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  : 
Behold,  I  judge   between  cattle  and    cattle,  as  well 

18  the  rams  as  the  he-goats.  Seemeth  it  a  small  thing 
Unto  you  to  have  fed  upon  the  good  pasture,  but  ye 
■must  tread  down  with  your  feet  the  residue  of  your 
pasture?  and  to  have  drunk  of  the  clear  waters,  but 

19 ye  must  foul  the  residue  with  your  feet?  And  as 
for  my  sheep,  they  eat  that  which  ye  have  trodden 
with  your  feet,  and  they  drink  that  which  ye  have 
fouled  with  your  feet. 

20  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto  them: 
Behold,  I,  even  I,  will  judge  between  the  fat  cattle 

21  and  the  lean  cattle.  Because  ye  thrust  with  side 
and  with  shoulder,  and  push  all  the  diseased  with 
your    horns,   till    ye    have  scattered    them   abroad ; 

22  therefore  will  I  save  my  flock,  and  they  shall  no 
more  be  a  prey;  and  I  will  judge   between  cattle 

23  and  cattle.  And  I  will  set  up  one  shepherd  over 
them,  and  he  shall  feed  them,  even  my  servant 
Da'vid;  he  shall  feed  them,  and  he  shall  be   their 

24  shepherd.  And  I  the  Lord  will  be  their  God,  and 
rcy  servant  Da'vid  prince  among  them ;  I  the  Lord 

25  have  spoken  it.  And  I  M'ill  make  with  them  a  covenant 
of  peace,  and  will  cause  evil  beasts  to  cease  out  of 
the  land:  and  they  shall  dwell  securely   in  the  wil- 

26derness,  and  sleep  in  the  woods.  And  I  will  make 
them  and  the  places  round  about  my  hill  a  blessing; 
and  I  will  cau.se   the  shower  to   come  down  in  its 

27  seasons ;  there  shall  be  showers  of  blessing.  And  the 
tree  of  the  field  shall  yield  its  fruit,  and  the  earth 
shall  yield  her  increase,  and  they  shall  be  secure  in 
theirland ;  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord, 
when  I  have  broken  the  bars  of  their  yoke,  and  have 
delivered  them  out  of  the  hand  of  those  that  'served 

28  themselves  of  them.  And  they  shall  no  more  be  a 
prey  to  the  heathen,  neither  shall  the  beast  of  the 
earth  devour  them;  but  they  shall  dwell  securely, 

29  and  none  shall  make  them  afraid.  And  I  will  raise 
up  unto  them  a  ^plantation  for  renown,  and  they  shall 
be  no  more  'consumed  with  famine  in  the  land, 
neither  bear  the  shame  of  the   heathen  any  more. 

30  And  they  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  their  God 
am  with  them,  and  that  they,  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 

31  are  my  people,  saith  the  Lord  God.  And  ye  my 
sheep,  the  sheep  of  my  pasture,  are  men,  and  I  am 
your  God,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

00      Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 

2  saying.   Son   of  man,   set   thy  face  against  mount 

3  Se'ir,  and  prophesy  against  it,  and  say  unto  it.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  O 
mount  Se'ir,  and  I  will  stretch  out  mine  hand  against 
thee,  and  I  will  make  thee  a  desolation  and- an  aston- 

4  ishment.  I  will  lay  thy  cities  waste,  and  thou  shalt  be 
desolate ;  and  thou  shalt  know  that  I  ani  the  Lord.

5  •'Because  thou  hast  had  a  fperpetual  hatred,  and  hast 
fshed  the  blood  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  by  the  fforce  of 
the  sword  in  the  time  of  their  calamity,  "in  the  time  that 
their  iniquity  had  an  end : 

6  Therefore,  as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  GoD,  I  will  prepare 
thee  unto  blood,  and  blood  shall  pursue  thee:  ''since  thou 
hast  not  hated  blood,  even  blood  shall  pursue  thee. 

7  Thus  will  I  make  mount  Se'ir  fmost  desolate,  and  cut 
off  from  it  'him  that  passeth  out  and  him  that  returneth. 

8  *And  I  will  fill  his  mountains  with  his  slain  men:  in  thy 
hills,  and  in  thy  valleys,  and  in  all  thy  rivers,  shall  they  fall 
that  are  slain  with  the  sword. 

9  T  will  make  thee  perpetual  desolations,  and  thy  cities 
shall  not  return :  "and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

10  Because  thou  hast  said.  These  two  nations  and  these 
two  countries  shall  be  mine,  and  we  will  "possess  it;  ||  where- 
as "the  Lord  was  there: 

11  Therefore,  as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  GoD,  I  will  even 
do  "according  to  thine  anger,  and  according  to  thine  envy, 
which  thou  hast  used  out  of  thy  hatred  against  them;  and 
I  will  make  myself  known  among  them,  when  I  have 
judged  thee. 

12  'And  thou  shalt  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  and  that 
I  have  heard  all  thy  blasphemies  which  thou  hast  spoken 
against  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  saying.  They  are  laid 
desolate,  they  are  given  us  fto  consume. 

13  Thus  'with  your  mouth  ye  have  fboasted  against  me,  and 
have  multiplied  your  words  against  me :  I  have  heard  them. 

14  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  'When  the  whole  earth  re- 
joieeth,  I  will  make  thee  desolate. 

15  'As  thou  didst  rejoice  at  the  inheritance  of  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  because  it  was  desolate,  so  will  I  do  unto  thee : 
"thou  shalt  be  desolate,  O  mount  Se'ir,  and  all  I-du-me'a, 
even  all  of  it :  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

'  CHAPTKR    XXXVI. 

The  iand  of  Israel  is  comforted ;  the  blessings  of  Christ's  kingdom. 

ALSO,  thou  son  of  man,  prophesy  unto  the  "mountains  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  say,  Ye  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord  : 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Because  Hhe  enemy  hath 
said  against  you.  Aha,  ''even  the  ancient  high  places  ''are 
ours  in  possession : 

3  Therefore  prophesy  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
fBecause  they  have  made  you  desolate,  and  swallowed  you 
up  on  every  side,  that  y^  might  be  a  possession  unto  the 
residue  of  the  heathen,  'and  ||  ye  are  taken  up  in  the  lips  of 
talkers,  and  are  an  infamy  of  the  people : 

4  Therefore,  ye  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord  God  ;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  to  the  mountains,  and 
to  the  hills,  to  the  ||Jrivers,  and  to  the  valleys,  to  the  deso- 
late wastes,  and  to  the  cities  that  are  forsaken,  which  •'^became 
a  prey  and  "derision  to  the  residue  of  the  heathen  that  are 
round  about; 

5  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  ''Surely  in  the  fire 
of  my  jealousy  have  I  spoken  against  the  residue  of  the 
heathen,  and  against  all  I-du-me'a,  'which  have  appointed 
my  land  into  their  possession  with  the  joy  of  all  their  heart, 
with  despiteful  minds,  to  cast  it  out  for  a  prey. 

6  Prophesy  therefore  concerning  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
say  unto  the  mountains  and  to  the  hills,  to  the  rivers  and 
to  the  valleys,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I  have 
spoken  in  my  jealousy  and  in  my  fury,  because  ye  have 
*borne  the  shame  of  the  heathen  : 

7  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  I  have  'lifted  up 
mine  hand.  Surely  the  heathen  that  are  about  you,  they 
shall  bear  their  shame. 

8  ^But  ye,  O  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  ye  shall  shoot  forth 
your  branches,  and  yield  your  fruit  to  my  people  of  Is'rarcl; 
for  they  are  at  hand  to  come. 


5  Because  thou  hast  had  a  perpetual  enmity,  and  hast 
given  over  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  to  the  power  of 
the  sword  in  the  time  of  their  calamity,  in  the  time 

6  of  the  'iniquity  of  the  end  :  therefore,  as  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  I  will  prepare  thee  unto  blood,  and 
blood  shall  pursue  thee :  saith  thou  hast  not  hated 

7  blood,  therefore  blood  shall  pursue  thee.  Thus  will 
I  make  mount  Se'ir  an  astonishment  and  a  desola- 
tion ;  and  I  will  cut  off  from  it  him  that  passeth 

8  through  and  him  that  returneth.  And  I  will  fill  his 
mountains  with  his  slain :  in  thy  hills  and  in  thy 
valleys  and  in  all  thy  watercourses,  shall  they   fall 

9  that  are  slain  with  the  sword.  I  will  make  thee 
perpetual  desolations,  and  thy  cities  shall  not  ^be 
inhabited :  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

10  Because  thou  hast  said.  These  two  nations  and  these" 
two  countries  shall  be  mine,  and  we  will  possess  it ; 

llHvhereas  the  Lord  was  there:  therefore,  as  I  live, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  I  will  do  according  to  thine 
anger,  and  according  to  thine  envy  which  thou  hast 
shewed  out  of  thy  hatred  against  them ;  and  I  will 
make   myself  known  among  them,   ''when   I   shall 

12 judge  thee.  And  thou  shalt  know  *that  I  the 
Lord  have  heard  all  thy  blasphemies  which  thou 
hast  spoken  against  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el, 
saying,  *They  are  laid   desolate,  they  are  given  us 

13  to  devour.  And  ye  have  magnified  yourselves 
against    me   with   your  mouth,  and  have  multiplied 

14 your  words  against  me:  I  have  heard  it.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  :  When  the  whole  earth  rej.oiceth, 

151  will  make  thee  desolate.  As  thou  didst  rejoice 
over  the  inheritance  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  because 
it  was  desolate,  so  will  I  do  unto  thee :  thou  shalt  be 
desolate,  O  mount  Se'ir,  and  all  E'dom,  even  all  of 
it :  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

vO  And  thou,  son  of  man,  prophesy  unto  the  mount- 
ains of  Is'ra-el,  and  say,  Ye  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  hear 

2the  word  of  the  Lord.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God: 
Because  the  enemy  hath  said  against  you.  Aha!  and, 

3 The  ancient  high  places  are  ours  in  possession:  there- 
fore prophesy,  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God: 
Because,  even  because  they  have  made  you  desolate, 
and  swallowed  you  up  on  every  side,  that  ye  might 
be  a  possession  unto  the  residue  of  the  nations,  and 
yeare  taken  upin  the  lips  of  talkers,  and  the  evil  report 

4  of  the  people :  therefore,  ye  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord  God  ;  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
to  the  mountains  and  to  the  hills,  to  the  watercourses 
and  to  the  valleys,  to  the  desolate  wastes  and  to 
the  cities  that  are  forsakeui,  which  are  become  a  prey 
and  derision  to  the  residue  of  the  nations  that  are 

5  round  about :  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  : 
Surely  in  the  fire  of  my  jealousy  have  I  spoken 
against  the  residue  of  the  nations,  and  against  all 
E'dom,  which  have  appointed  my  land  unto  them- 
selves for  a  possession  with  the  joy  of  all  their 
heart,    with    despite    of  soul,   to    cast    it   out  for   a 

6  prey  :  therefore  prophesy  concerning  the  land  of  Is'- 
ra-el, and  say  unto  the  mountains  and  to  the  hills, 
to  the  watercourses  and  to  the  valleys.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  have  spoken  in  my 
jealousy  and  in  my  fury,  because  ye  have  borne  the 

7  shame  of  the  heathen :  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God:  I  have  lifted  up  mine  hand,  saying,  Surely 
the  heathen   that  are  round  about  you,   they  shall 

Shear  their  shame.  But  ye,  O  mountains  of  Is'ra-el, 
ye  shall  shoot  forth  your  branches,  and  yield  your  fruit 
to  my  people  Is'ra-el ;  for  they  are  at  hand  to  come.  I

9  For,  behold,  I  am  for  you,  and  I  will  turn  unto  you,  and 
ye  shall  be  tilled  and  sown  : 

10  And  I  will  multiply  men  upon  you,  all  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  even  all  of  it ;  and  the  cities  shall  be  inhabited,  and 
"the  wastes  shall  be  builded : 

11  And  "I  will  multiply  upon  you  man  and  beast;  and 
they  shall  increase  and  bring  fruit:  and  I  will  settle  you 
after  your  old  estates,  and  will  do  better  unto  you  than  at 
your  beginnings :  "and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

12  Yea,  I  will  cause  men  to  walk  upon  you,  even  my 
people  Is'ra-el ;  "and  they  shall  possess  thee,  and  thou  shalt 
be  their  inheritance,  and  thou  shalt  no  more  henceforth 
'bereave  them  of  men. 

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Because  they  say  unto  you, 
•"Thou  land  devourest  up  men,  and  hast  bereaved  thy  nations; 

14  Therefore  thou  shalt  devour  men  no  more,  neither 
II  bereave  thy  nations  any  more,  saith  the  Lord  GoD. 

15  'Neither  will  I  cause  men  to  hear  in  thee  the  shame  of 
the  heathen  any  more,  neither  shalt  thou  bear  the  reproach 
of  the  people  any  more,  neither  shalt  thou  cause  thy  nations 
to  fall  any  more,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

16  ^Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

17  Son  of  man,  when  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  dwelt  in  their 
own  land,  'they  defiled  it  by  their  own  way  and  by  their 
doings :  their  way  was  before  me  as  the  "uncleanness  of  a 
removed  woman. 

18  "Wherefore  I  poured  my  fury  upon  them  'for  the  blood 
that  they  had  shed  upon  the  land,  and  for  their  idols  where- 
with they  had  polluted  it : 

19  And  I  "scattered  them  among  the  heathen,  and  they 
were  dispersed  through  the  countries:  "according  to  their 
way  and  according  to  their  doings  I  judged  them. 

20  And  when  they  entered  unto  the  heathen  whither  they 
went,  they  "profaned  my  holy  name,  when  they  said  to 
them,  These  are  the  people  of  the  Lord,  and  are  gone  forth 
out  of  his  land. 

21  ^But  I  had  pity  'for  mine  holy  name,  which  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  had  profaned  among  the  heathen,  whither  they  went. 

22  Therefore  say  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  I  do  not  this  for  your  sakes,  O  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  "but  for  mine  holy  name's  sake,  which  ye  have  pro- 
faned among  the  heathen,  whither  ye  went. 

23  And  I  will  sanctify  my  great  name,  which  was  pro- 
faned among  the  heathen,  which  ye  have  profaned  in  the 
midst  of  them ;  and  the  heathen  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord,  saith  the  Lord  God,  when  I  shall  be  ''sanctified  in  you 
before  ||  their  eyes. 

24  For  'I  will  take  you  from  among  the  heathen,  and 
gather  you  out  of  all  countries,  and  will  bring  you  into 
your  own  land.  r. 

25  \^Then  will  I  sprinkle  clean  water  upon  you,  and  ye 
shall  be  clean:  "from  all  your  filthiness,  and  from  all  your 
idols,  will  I  cleanse  you. 

26  A  ''new  heart  also  will  I  give  you,  and  a  new  spirit 
will  I  put  within  you:  and  I  will  take  away  the  stony  heart 
out  of  your  flesh,  and  I  will  give  you  a  heart  of  flesh., 

27  And  I  will  put  my  'Spirit  within  you, and  cause  you  to  walk 
in  my  statutes,  and  ye  shall  keep  my  judgments,  and  do  them, 

28  *And  ye  shall  dwell  in  the  land  that  I  gave  to  your 
fathers;  'and  ye  shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be  your  God. 

29  I  will  also  ""save  you  from  all  your  uucleaunesses :  and 
"I  wijl  call  for  the  corn,  and  will  increase  it,  and  "lay  no 
famine  upon  you. 

30  "And  I  will  multiply  the  fruit  of  the  tree,  and  the 
increase  of  the  field,  that  ye  shall  receive  no  more  reproach 
of  famine  among  the  heathen. 

31  Then  'shall  ye  remember  your  own  evil  ways,  and  your 
doings  that  were  not  good,  and  'shall  loathe  yourselves  in  your 
own  sight  for  your  iniquities,  and  for  your  abominations. 


9  For,  behold,  I  am    for  you,   and  I  will  turn  unto 

10 you,  and  ye  shall  be  tilled  and  sown:  and  I  will 
multiply  men  upon  you,  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
even  all  of  it :  and  the  cities  shall  be  inhabited,  and 

lithe  waste  places  shall  be  builded:  and  I  will 
multiply  upon  you  man  and  beast;  and  they  shall 
increase  and  be  fruitful :  and  I  will  cause  you  to  be 
inhabited  after  your  former  estate,  and  will  do  better 
unto   you   than    at  your   beginnings:    and    ye  shall 

12 know  that  lam  the  Lord.  Yea,  I  will  cause  men  to 
walk  upon  you,  even  my  people  Is'ra-el;  and  they  shall 
possess  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  their  inheritance, 
and  thou  shalt  no  more  henceforth  bereave  them  of 

13 children.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Becau.se  they 
say  unto  you,  Thou  land  art  a  devourer  of  men,  and 

14 hast  been  a  bereaver  of  thy  'nation:  therefore 
thou  shalt  devour  men  no  more,  neither  ^bereave  thy 

15 'nation  any  more,  saith  the  Lord  God;  neither  will 
I  ^let  thee  hear  any  more  the  shame  of  the  heathen, 
neither  shalt  thou  bear  the  reproach  of  the  peoples 
any  more,  neither  shalt  thou  cause  thy  'nation  to 
stumble  any  more,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

16  Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto   me 

17  saying,  Son  of  man,  when  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  dwelt 
in  their  own  land,  they  defiled  it  by  their  way 
and  by  their  doings:  their  way  before  me  was  as 
the    uncleanness    of   a    woman    in    her   separation. 

18  Wherefore  I  poured  out  my  fury  upon  them  for  the 
blood  which  they    had   poured   out  upon  the   land, 

19  and  because  they  had  defiled  it  with  their  idols:  and 
I  scattered  them  among  the  nations,  and  they  were 

,  dispersed  through  the  countries :  according  to  their 
way  and  according  to  their  doings  I  judged  them. 

20  And  when  they  came  unto  the  nations,  whither  they 
went,  they  profaned  my  holy  name ;  in  that  men  said 
of  them.  These  are  the  people  of  the  Lord,  and  are 

21  gone  forth  out  of  his  land.  But  I  had  pity  for  mine 
holy  name,  which  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  had  profaned 

22  among  the  nations,  whither  they  went.  Therefore 
say  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God:  *I  do  not  this  for  your  sake,  O  house  of  Is'- 
ra-el, but  for  mine  holy  name,  which  ye  have  pro- 

23  faned  among  the  nations,  whither  ye  went.  And  I  will 
sanctify  my  great  name,  which  hath  been  profaned 
among  the  nations,  which  ye  have  profaned  in  the 
midst  of  them ;  and  the  nations  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord,  saith  the  Lord  God,  when  I  shall  be 

24  sanctified  in  you  before  "their  eyes.  For  I  will  take 
you  from  among  the  nations,  and  gather  you  out  of 
all   the    countries,  and   will    bring  you   into    your 

25  own  land.  And  I  will  sprinkle  clean  water  upon 
you,  and  ye  shall  be  clean  :  from  all  your  filthiness, 

26  and  from  all  your  idols,  will  I  cleanse  you.  A  new 
heart  also  will  I  give  you,  and  a  new  spirit  will  I 
put  within  you :  and  I  will  take  away  the  stony 
heart  out  of  your  flesh,  and  I  will  give  you  an  heart  of 

27  flesh.  And  I  will  put  my  spirit  within  you,  and  cause 
you  to  walk  in  my  statutes,and  ycshall  keep  my  judge- 

28  ments,  and  do  them.  And  ye  shall  dwell  in  the  land 
that  I  gave  to  your  fathers;  and  ye  shall  be  my  people, 

29  and  I  will  be  your  God.  And  I  will  save  you  from 
all  your  uncleannesses :  and  I  will  call  for  the  corn,  and 

30  will  multiply  it,  and  lay  no  famine  upon  you.  And  I 
will  multiply  the  fruit  of  the  tree,  and  the  increase  of 
the  field,  that  ye  shall  receive  no  more  the  reproach 

31  of  famine  among  the  nations.  Then  shall  ye  remem- 
ber vour  evil  ways,  and  your  doings  that  were  not 
good;  and  ye  shall  loathe  yourselves  in  your  own 
sight  for  your  iniquities  and  for  your  abominations.

32  'Not  for  your  sakes  do  I  this  saith  the  Lord  God,  be 
it  known  unto  you:  be  ashamed  and  confounded  for  your 
own  ways,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

33  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  In  the  day  that  I  shall  have 
cleansed  you  from  all  your  iniquities  I  will  also  cau.se  you  to 
dwell  in  the  cities,  'and  the  wastes  .shall  be  builded. 

34  And  the  desolate  land  shall  be  tilled,  whereas  it  lay

35  And  they  shall  say,  This  land  that  was  desolate  is  be-

that  that  was  desolate:  "'I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  and  I 
will  do  it. 

37  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  "I  will  yet  for  this  be  in- 
quired of  by  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  to  do  it  for  them;  I  will 
'increase  them  with  men  like  a  flock. 

38  As  the  flioly  flock,  as  the  flock  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  her 
solemn  feasts ;  so  shall  the  wasste  cities  be  filled  with  flocks 
of  men :  and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER    XXXVII. 

The  resurrection  o/  dry  bones — The  promises  of  Christ's  kingdom. 

11HE  "hand  of  the  Lord  was  upon  me,  and  carried  me  out 
-    'in  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord,  and  set  me  down  in  the  midst 
of  the  valley  which  xcas  full  of  bones, 

2  And  caused  me  to  pass  by  them  round  about:  and,  be- 
hold, there  were  very  many  in  the  open  ||  valley ;  and,  lo, 
they  were  very  dry. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  can  these  bones 
live?  And  I  answered,  O  Lord  God,  ''thou  knowest. 

4  Again  he  said  unto  me.  Prophesy  upon  these  bones,  and 
say  unto  them,  O  ye  dry  bones,  hear  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto  these  bones:  Behold,  I 
will  ''cau.se  breath  to  enter  into  you,  and  ye  shall  live: 

6  And  I  will  lay  sinews  upon  you,  and  will  bring  up  flesh 
upon  you,  and  cover  you  with  skin,  and  put  breath  in  you, 
and  ye  shall  live;  'and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  liORD. 

7  So  I  prophesied  as  I  was  commanded :  and  as  I  prophe- 
sied, there  was  a  noise,  and  behold  a  shaking,  and  the  bones 
came  together,  bone  to  his  bone. 

8  And  when  I  beheld,  lo,  the  sinews  and  the  flesh  came  up 
upon  them,  and  the  skin  covered  them  above :  but  there  was 
no  breath  in  them. 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Prophesy  unto  the  ||  wind,  proph- 
esy, son  of  man,  and  say  to  the  wind.  Thus  saith  the  Ijord 
God;  -^Come  from  the  four  winds,  O  breath,  and  breathe 
upon  these  slain,  that  they  may  live. 

10  So  I  prophesied  as  he  commanded  me,  "and  the  breath 
came  into  them,  and  they  lived,  and  stood  up  upon  their 
feet,  an  exceeding  great  army. 

11  TIThen  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  these  bones  are 
the  whole  house  of  Is'ra-el :  behold,  they  say,  "Our  bones 
are  dried,  and  our  hope  is  lost :  we  are  cut  off  for  our  parts. 

12  Therefore  prophesy  and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Behold,  'O  my  people,  I  will  open  your  graves, 
and  cause  you  to  come  up  out  of  your  graves,  and  'bring  you 
into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el. 

13  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  LoKD,  when  I  have 
opened  your  graves,  O  my  people,  and  brought  you  up  out 
of  your  graves, 

14  And  'shall  put  my  Spirit  in  you,  and  ye  shall  live,  and 
I  shall  place  you  in  your  own  land:  then  shall  ye  know 
that  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  and  performed  it,  saith  the 
Lord. 

15  *ffThe  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  saying, 

16  Moreover,  thou  son  of  man,  ""take  thee  one  stick,  and 
write  upon  it.  For  Ju'dah  and  for  "the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
his  companions:  then  take  another  stick,  and  write  upon 


32  Not  for  your  sake  'do  I  this,  saith  the  Lord  God,  be  it 
known  unto   you:  be  ashamed  and  confounded  for 

33  your  ways,  O  house  of  Ls'ra-el.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  :  In  the  day  that  I  cleanse  you  from  all  your  ini- 
quities, I  will  cau.se  the  cities  to  be  inhabited,  and  the 

34  waste  places  shall  be  builded.  And  the  land  that 
was  d&solate  shall  be  tilled,  whereas  it  was  a  desola- 

35  tion  in  the  sight  of  all  that  passed  by.  And  they 
shall  say,  This  land  that  was  desolate  is  become  like 
the  garden  of  E'den ;  and  the  waste  and  desolate  and 

36  ruined  cities  are  fenced  and  inhabited.  Then  the 
nations  that  are  left  round  about  you  shall  know  that 
I  the  Lord  have  builded  the  ruined  places,  and 
planted  that  which  was  desolate :  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  it,  and  I  will  do  it. 

37  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  For  this  moreover 
will  I  be  inquired  of  by  the  hou.se  of  Is'ra-el,  to  do 
it  for  them;  I  will  increase  them  with  men  like  a 

38  flock.  As  the  ^flock  for  sacrifice,  as  the  flock  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem  in  her  appointed  feasts;  so  shall  the 
waste  cities  be  filled  with  flocks  of  men:  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

Oi    The  hand  of  the  Lord  was  upon  me,  and  he  car- 
ried me  out  in  the  spirit  of  the  Lord,  and  set  me 
down  in  the  midst  of  the  valley ;  and  it  was  full  of 
2 bones;  and  he  caused    me    to   pass  by   them   round 
about:   and  behold,   there  were  very  many  'in  the 

3  open  valley  ;  and  lo,  they  were  very  dry.  And  he 
said  unto  me,  Son   of  man,  can  these  bones  live? 

4  And  I  answered,  O  Lord  God,  thou  knowest.  Again 
he  said  unto  me.  Prophesy  over  these  bones,  and 
say  unto  them,  O  ye  dry  bones,  hear  the  word  of 

6  the  Lord.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  unto  these 
bones :  Behold,  I  will  cause  ^breath  to  enter  into  you, 

6  and  ye  shall  live.  And  I  will  lay  sinews  upon  you, 
and  will  bring  up  flesh  upon  you,  and  cover  you 
with  skin,  and  put  breath  in  you,  and  ye  shall  live; 

7  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  So  I  proph- 
esied as  I  was  commanded:  and  as  I  prophesied, 
there   was  a  'noise,  and  behold  an   earthquake,  and 

8  the  bones  came  together,  bone  to  his  bone.  And  I 
beheld,  and  lo,  there  were  sinews  upon  them,  and 
flesh  came  up,  and  skin  covered  them  above :  but 

9  there  was  no  breath  in  them.  Then  said  he  unto 
me,  Prophesy  unto  the  "wind,  prophesy,  .son  of  man, 
and  say  to  the  *wind,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God: 
Come  from  the  four  winds,  O  "breath,  and  breathe 

10  upon  these  slain,  that  they  may  live.  So  I  prophesied 
as  he  commanded  me,  and  the  breath  came  into  them, 
and  they  lived,and  stood  up  upon  their  feet,an  exceed- 

11  ing  great  army.  Then  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man, 
these  bones  are  the  whole  house  of  Is'ra-el :  behold, 
they  say.  Our  bones  are  dried  up,  and  our  hope  is 

12 lost;  we  are  clean  cut  oiF.  Therefore  prophesy, 
and  say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Be- 
hold, I  will  open  your  graves,  and  cause  you  to 
come  up  out  of  your  graves,  O  my  people;  and  I 

13  will  bring  you  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el.  And  ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  have  opened 
your  graves,  and  caused  you  to  come  up  out  of  your 

14  graves,  O  my  people.  And  I  will  put  ray  'spirit  in 
you,  and  ye  shall  live,  and  I  will  place  you  in  your 
own  land :  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord  have 
spoken  it,  and  performed  it,  saith  the  Lord. 

15  The  word  of  the  Lord  came  again  unto  me,  saying, 

16  And  thou,  son  of  man,  take  thee  one  stick,  and  write 
upon  it.  For  Ju'dah,  and  for  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  his 
companions :  then  take  another  stick,  and  write  upon

CHAPTER   XXXVIII. 

The  malice  of  Gog — GotV s  judgment  against  him. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 
2  "Son  of  man,  'set  thy  face  against  "Gog,  the  land  of 
Ma'gog,  II  the  chief  prince  of  ''Me'shech  and  Tu'bal,  and 
prophesy  against  him, 

3  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Behold  I  am  against 
thee;  O  Gog,  the  chief  prince  of  Me'.shech  and  Tu'bal : 

4  And  'I  will  turn  thee  back,  and  put  hooks  into  thy  jaws,  and 
I  will  bring  thee  forth,and  all  thine  army,  horsesand  horsemen, 
'all  of  them  clothed  with  all  sorts  of  armour,  even  a  great  com- 
pany, with  bucklers  and  shields,  all  of  them  handling  swords : 

6  Per'si-a,  E-thi-o'pi-a,  and  ||  Lib'y-a  with  them ;  all  of  them 
with  shield  and  helmet : 

6  'Go'mer,  and  all  his  bands ;  thehou8eof*To-gar'mahofthe 
north  quarters, and  all  his  bands:  and  many  people  with  thee. 

7  'Be  thou  prepared,  and  prepare  for  thy.self,  thou,  and 
all  thy  company  that  are  assembled  unto  thee,  and  be  thou 
a  guard  unto  them. 

8  ^*After  many  days  'thou  shalt  be  visited :  in  the  latter 
years  thou  shalt  come  into  the  land  thai  is  brought  back 
from  the  sword,  "^and  is  gathered  out  of  many  people,  against 
"the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  which  have  been  always  waste : 
but  it  is  brought  forth  out  of  the  nations,  and  they  shall 
"dwell  safely  aU  of  them. 


it,  For  Jo'seph,  the  stick  of  E'phra-im,  and  ^for  all 
17 the  house  of  Is'ra-el  his  companions:  and  join  them 
for  thee  one  to  another  into  one  stick,  that  they 
18  may  become   one   in  thine   hand.     And  when  the 
children   of  thy  people  shall  speak  unto  thee,  say- 
ing,  Wilt   thou   not   shew   us   what    thou   meanest 
19 by  these?    say    unto    them,  Thus  saith   the  Lord 
God:    Behold,   I   will   take   the   stick   of  Jo'seph, 
which  is  in  the  hand  of  E'phra-im,  and  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el  his  companions;  and  I  will  put  them  ^with  it, 
even  with  the  stick  of  Ju'dah,  and  make  them  one 

20  stick,  and  they  shall  be  one  in  mine  hand.  And 
the  sticks   whereon   thou   writest  shall  be  in  thine 

21  hand  before  their  eyes.  And  say  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  will  take  the  chil- 
dren of  Is'ra-el  from  among  the  nations,  whither  they 
be  gone,  and  will  gather  them  on   every  side,  and 

22 bring  them  into  their  own  land:  and  I  will  make 
them  one  nation  in  the  land,  upon  the  mountains  of 
Is'ra-el;  and  one  king  shall  be  king  to  them  all: 
and  they  shall  be  no  more  two  nations,  neither  shall 
they  be  divided  into  two  kingdoms  any  more  at  all : 

23  neither  shall  they  defile  themselves  any  more  with 
their  idols,  nor  with  their  detestable  things,  nor 
with  any  of  their  transgressions:  but  I  will  save 
them  'out  of  all  their  dwelling  places,  wherein  they 
have  sinned,  and  will  cleanse  them  :    so  shall  they 

24  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be  their  God.  And  my 
servant  Da'vid  shall  be  king  over  them ;  and  they 
all  shall  have  one  shepherd :  they  shall  also  walk 
in   my   judgements,  and   observe    my  statutes,   and 

25  do  them.  And  they  shall  dwell  in  the  land  that  I 
have  given  unto  Ja'cob  my  servant,  wherein  your 
fathers  dwelt;  and  they  shall  dwell  therein,  they, 
and  their  children,  and  their  children's  children,  for 
ever:  and  Da'vid  my  servant  shall  be  their  prince 

26  for  ever.  Moreover  I  will  make  a  covenant  of 
peace  with  them:  it  shall  be  an  everlasting  cove- 
nant with  them :  and  I  will  *place  them,  and  multi- 
ply them,  and  will  set  my  sanctuary  in  the  midst  of 

27  them  for  evermore.  My  tabernacle  also  shall  be 
*with  them ;  and  I  will  be  their  God,  and  they  shall 

28  be  my  people.  And  the  nations  shall  know  that  *I 
am  the  Lord  that  sanctify  Is'ra-el,  when  my  sanctuary 
shall  be  in  the  midst  of  them  for  evermore. 

OO      And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  say- 

2  ing.  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  toward  Gog,  of  the  land 
of  Ma'gog,  the  'prince  of  Rosh,  Me'shech,  and  Tu'bal, 

3  and  prophesy  against  him,  and  say.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  :    Behold,  I  am   against   thee,   O   Gog, 

4  'prince  of  Rosh,  Me'shech,  and  Tu'bal :  and  I  will  turn 
thee  about,  and  put  hooks  into  thy  jaws,  and  I 
will  bring  thee  forth,  and  all  thine  army,  horses 
and  horsemen,  all  of  them  clothed  in  full  armour, 
a   great   company   with    buckler  and  shield,  all  of 

5  them  handling  swords:  Per'si-a,  Cush,  and  Put  with 

6  them ;  all  of  them  with  shield  and  helmet :  Go'mer 
and  all  his  hordes;  the  house  of  To-gar'mah  in  the 
uttermost   parts  of  the  north,  and  all  his  hordes: 

7  even  many  peoples  with  thee.  Be  thou  prepared,  yea, 
prepare  thyself,  thou,  and  all  thy  companies  that  are  as- 
sembled unto  thee,  and  be  thou  a  'guard  unto  them. 

8  After  many  days  thou  shalt  be  visited :  in  the  latter 
years  thou  shalt  come  into  the  land  that  is  'brought 
back  from  the  sword,  that  is  gathered  out  of  many 
peoples  upon  the  monntainsof  Is'ra-el,whichhavebeen 
a  continual  waste  :  but  it  is  brought  forth  out  of  the 
peoples,  and  they  shall  dwell  securely,  all  of  them.

9  Thou  shalt  ascend  and  come  "like  a  storm,  thou  shalt 
be  'like  a  cloiid  to  cover  the  land,  thou,  and  all  thy  bands, 
and  many  people  with  thee. 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  It  shall  also  come  to  pass, 
that  at  the  same  time  shall  things  come  into  thy  mind,  and 
thou  shalt  II think  an  evil  thought: 

11  And  thou  shalt  say,  I  will  go  up  to  the  land  of  un- 
walled  villages ;  I  will  'go  to  them  that  are  at  rest,  'that 
dwell  II safely,  all  of  them  dwelling  without  walls,  and  hav- 
ing neither  bars  nor  gates, 

12  fTo  take  a  spoil,  and  to  take  a  prey;  to  turn  thine 
hand  upon  'the  desolate  places  that  are  now  inhabited,  "and 
upon  the  people  that  are  gathered  out  of  the  nations,  which 
have  gotten  cattle  and  goods,  that  dwell  in  the  fmidst  of 
the  land. 

13  "'She'ba,  and  >'De'dan,  and  the  merchants  "of  Tar'shish, 
with  all  "the  young  lions  thereof,  shall  say  unto  thee,  Art 
thou  come  to  take  a  spoil  ?  hast  thou  gathered  thy  com- 
pany to  take  a  prey  ?  to  carry  away  silver  and  gold,  to  take 
away  cattle  and  goods,  to  take  a  great  spoil  ? 

14  TJTherefore,  son  of  man,  prophesy  and  say  unto  Gog, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  'In  that  day  when  my  people  of 
Is'ra-el  "dwelleth  safely,  shalt  thou  not  know  itf 

15  "^And  thou  shalt  come  from  thy  place  out  of  the  north 
parts,  thou,  and  'many  people  with  thee,  all  of  them  riding 
upon  horse.s,  a  great  company,  and  a  mighty  army  : 

16  •'And  thou  shalt  come  up  again.st  my  people  of  Is'ra-el, 
as  a  cloud  to  cover  the  land;  "it  shall  be  in  the  latter  days, 
and  I  will  bring  thee  against  my  land,  'that  the  heathen 
may  know  me,  when  I  shall  be  sanctified  in  thee,  O  Gog, 
before  their  eyes. 

17  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Art  thou  he  of  whom  I 
have  spoken  in  old  time  fby  my  servants  the  prophets  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  prophesied  in  those  days  many  years,  that  I 
would  bring  thee  against  them? 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at  the  same  time  when  Gog 
shall  come  again.st  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
that  my  fury  shall  come  up  in  my  face. 

19  For  'in  my  jealousy  ''and  in  the  fire  of  my  wrath 
have  I  spoken,  'Surely  in  that  day  there  shall  be  a  great 
shaking  in  the  land  of  Ls'ra-el ; 

20  So  that  "'the  fishes  of  the  sea,  and  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven,  and  the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  all  creeping  things 
that  creep  upon  the  earth,  and  all  the  men  that  are  upon 
the  face  of  the  earth,  shall  shake  at  my  presence,  "and  the 
mountains  shall  be  thrown  down,  and  the  ||  steep  places 
shall  fall,  and  every  wall  shall  fall  to  the  ground. 

21  And  I  will  "call  for  "a  sword  against  him  throughout 
all  my  mountains,  saith  the  Lord  God:  'every  man's  sword 
shall  be  against  his  brother. 

22  And  I  will  ""plead  against  him  with  'pestilence  and 
with  blood;  and  'I  will  rain  upon  him,  and  upon  his  bands, 
and  upon  the  many  people  that  are  with  him,  an  overflow- 
ing rain,  and  "great  hailstones,  fire,  and  brimstone. 

23  Thus  will  I  magnify  myself,  and  "'sanctify  myself;  "and 
I  will  be  known  in  the  eyes  of  many  nations,  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER    XXXIX. 

GciTs  judgments  upon  Gog;  IsraeVs  victory  ;  the  feast  of  the  fowls  and  beasts. 

ri")HEREFORE,  "thou  son  of  man,  prophesy  against  Gog, 
-L  and  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  BehoW,  I  am  against 
thee,  O  Gog,  the  chief  prince  of  Me'shech  and  Tu'bal : 

2  And  I  will  turn  thee  back,  and  ||  leave  but  the  sixth  part 
of  thee,  'and  will  cause  thee  to  come  up  from  fthe  north 
parts,  and  will  bring  thee  upon  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el : 

3  And  I  will  smite  thy  bow  out  of  thy  left  hand,  and 
will  cause  thine  arrows  to  fall  out  of  thy  right  hand. 

4  'Thou  shalt  fall  upon  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  thou, 
and  all  thy  bands,  ana  the  people  that  is  with  thee :  ''I  will 


9  And  thou  shalt  ascend,  thou  shalt  come  like  a  storm, 
thou  shalt  be  like  a  cloud  to  cover  the  land,  thou,  and 

10  all  thy  hordes,  and  many  peoples  with  thee.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord'GoD :  It  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day, 
that  things  shall  come  into  thy  mind,  and  thou  shalt 

11  devise  an  evil  device :  and  thou  shalt  say,  I  will  go  up 
to  'the  land  of  unwalled  villages;  I  will  go  to  them 
that  are  at  quiet,  that  dwell  securely,  all  of  them 
dwelling  without  walls,  and  having  neither  bars  nor 

12  gates :  to  take  the  spoil  and  to  take  the  prey  ;  to  turn 
thine  hand  against  the  waste  places  that  are  now  in- 
habited, and  against  the  people  that  are  gathered  out 
of  the  nations,  which  have  gotten  cattle  and  goods, 

13  that  dwell  in  the^middle  of  the  earth.  She'ba,  and  De'- 
dan,  and  the  merchants  of  Tar'shish,  with  all  the  young 
lions  thereof,  shall  say  unto  thee.  Art  thou  come  to 
take  the  spoil?  hast  thou  assembled  thy  company 
to  take  the  prey  ?  to  carry  away  silver  and  gold,  to 
take  away  cattle  and  goods,  to  take  great  spoil  ? 

14  Therefore,  son  of  man,  prophesy,  and  say  unto 
Gog,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  In  that  day  when 
my  people  Is'ra-el  dwelleth  securely,  shalt  thou  not 

15  know  it?  And  thou  shalt  come  from  thy  place 
out  of  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  north,  thou,  and 
many  peoples  with   thee,  all   of  them    riding   upon 

16 horses,  a  great  company  and  a  mighty  army:  and 
thou  shalt  come  up  against  my  people  Is'ra-el,  as  a 
cloud  to  cover  the  land ;  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
the  latter  days,  that  I  will  bring  thee  against  my 
landj  that  the  nations  may  know  thee,  when  I  shall 
be   sanctified    in    thee,  O    Gog,  before    their    eyes. 

17 Thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Art  thou  he  of  whom 
I  spake  in  old  time  by  my  servants  the  prophets  of 
Is'ra-el,  which  prophesied  in  those   days   for   many 

18 years  that  I  would  bring  thee  against  them?  And 
it  shall  come  to  pass  in.  that  day,  when  Gog  shall 
come  against  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  that  my  fury  shall  come  up  into  my  nostrils. 

19  For  in  my  jealousy  and  in  the  fire  of  my  wrath 
have  I  spoken.  Surely  in  that  day  there  shall  be  a 

20  great  shaking  in  the  land  of  Is'ra-cl;  so  that  the 
fishes  of  the  sea,  and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  and  the 
beasts  of  the  field,  and  all  creeping  things  that  creep 
upon  the  earth,  and  all  the  men  that  are  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth,  shall  shake  at  my  presence,  and  the 
mountains  shall  be  thrown  down,  and  the  steep  places 

21  shall  fall,  and  every  wall  shall  fall  to  the  ground.  And 
I  will  call  for  a  sword  against  him  unto  all  my  mount- 
ains, saith  the  Lord  God  :  every  man's  sword  shall 

22  be  against  his  brother.  And  I  will  plead  against  him 
with  pestilence  and  with  blood ;  and  I  will  rain  upon 
him,  and  upon  his  hordes,  and  upon  the  many 
peoples  that  are  with    him,  an  overflowing  shower, 

23  and  great  hailstones,  fire,  and  brimstone.  And  I 
will  magnify  myself,  and  sanctify  myself,  and  I  will 
make  myself  known  in  the  •  eyes  of  many  nations ; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lokd. 


And  thou^  son  of  man,  prophesy  against  Gog, 
and  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  Behold,  I  am 
against  thee,  O  Gog,  ^prince  of  Rosh,  Me'shech,  and 

2  Tu'bal :  and  I  will  turn  thee  about,  and  will  lead 
thee  on>  and  will  cause  thee  to  come  up  from  the 
uttermost  parts  of  the  north ;  and  I  will  bring  thee 

3 upon  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el:  and  I  will  smite 
thy  bow  out  of  thy  left  hand,  and  will  cause  thine 

4  arrows  to  fall  out  of  thy  right  hand.  Thou  shalt 
fall  upon  the  mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  thou,  and  all  thy 
hordes,  and  the  peoples  that  are  with  thee :   I  will

the  beasts  of  the  field,  tto  be  devoured. 

5  Thou  shall  fall  upon  fthe  open  field:  for  I  have 
spoken  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

6  'And  I  will  send  a  fire  on  Ma'gog,  and  among  them  that 
dwell  II  carelessly  in  •'the  isles:  and  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord. 

7  "So  will  I  make  my  holy  name  known  in  the  midst  of 
my  people  Is'ra-el ;  and  I  will  not  let  them  ''pollute  my  holy 
name  any  more :  'and  the  heathen  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord,  the  Holy.  One  in  Is'ra-el. 

8  ^*Behold  it  is  come,  and  it  is  done,  saith  the  Lord  God  ; 
this  is  the  day  'whereof  I  have  spoken. 

9  And  they  that  dwell  in  the  cities  of  Is'ra-el  shall  go  forth, 
and  shall  set  on  fire  and  burn  the  weapons,  both  the  shields 
and  the  bucklers,  the  bows  and  the  arrows,  and  the  || hand- 
staves,  and  the  spears,  and  they  shall  ||burn  them  with  fire 
seven  years: 

10  So  that  they  shall  take  no  wood  out  of  the  field, 
neither  cut  down  any  out  of  the  forests;  for  they  shall 
burn  the  Aveapons  with  fire:  "and  they  shall  spoil  those 
that  spoiled  them,  and  rob  those  that  robbed  them,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

11  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  I  will 
give  unto  Gog  a  place  there  of  graves  in  Is'ra-el,  the  valley 
of  the  passengers  on  the  east  of  the  sea :  and  it  shall  stop 
the  II  noses  of  the  passengers:  and  there  shall  they  bury 
Gog  and  all  his  multitude:  and  they  shall  call  it  The  val- 
ley of  II  Ha'mon-gog. 

12  And  seven  months  shall  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  be  bury- 
ing of  them,  "that  they  may  cleanse  the  land. 

13  Yea,  all  the  people  of  the  land  shall  bury  them:  and 
it  shall  be  to  them  a  renown  the  day  that  "I  shall  be  glori- 
fied, saith  the  Lord  God. 

14  And  they  shall  sever  out  fmen  of  continual  employ- 
ment, passing  through  the  land  to  bury  with  the  passengers 
those  that  remain  upon  the  face  of  the  earth,  "to  cleanse  it : 
after  the  end  of  seven  months  shall  they  search. 

15  And  the  pa.ssengers  that  pass  through  the  land,  when 
any  seeth  a  man's  bone,  then  shall  he  fset  up  a  sign  by  it,

may  'eat  flesh,  and  drink  blood. 

18  "Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the  mighty,  and  drink  the

be  drunken,  of  my  sacrifice  which  I  have  sacrificed  for  you. 

20  "Thus  ye  shall  be  filled  at  my  table  with  horses  and 
chariots,  'with  mighty  men,  and  with  all  men  of  war,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

21  "And  I  will  set  my  glory  among  the  heathen,  and  all 
the  heathen  shall  see  my  judgment  that  I  have  executed,

23  ^''And  the  heathen  shall  know  that  the  house  of  Is'ra-el

give  thee  unto  the  ravenous  birds  of  every  sort,  and 

5  to  the  beasts  of  the  field  to  be  devoured.  Thou 
shalt  fall  upon  the  open  field :  for  I  have  spoken  it, 

6  saith  the  Lord  God.  And  I  will  send  a  fire  on 
Ma'gog,  and  on  them  that  dwell  securely  in  the 
'isles:    and   they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

7  And  my  holy  name  will  I  make  known  in  the 
midst  of  my  people  Is'ra-el ;  neither  will  I  suffer  my 
holy  name  to  be  profaned  any  more :  and  tha 
nations  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  the  Holy 

8  One  in  Is'ra-el.  Behold,  it  cometh,  and  it  shall  be 
done,  saith  the  Lord  God;    this  is  the  day  whereof 

9  I  have  spoken.  And  they  that  dwell  in  the  cities 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  go  forth,  and  shall  make  fires  of  the 
weapons  and  burn  them,  both  the  shields  and  the 
bucklers,  the  bows  and  the  arrows,  and  the  hand-

forests;  for  they  shall  make  fires  of  the  weapons: 
and  they  shall  spoil  those  that  spoiled  them,  and 
rob  those  that  robbed  them,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

11  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  I  will 
give  unto  Gog  a  place  for  burial  in  Is'ra-el,  the 
valley  of  them  that  pass  through  ^on  the  east  of 
the  sea :  and  it  shall  stop  them  that  pass  through  : 
and  there  shall  they  bury  Gog  and  all  his  mul- 
titude:    and    they     shall    call    it    The    valley    of 

12 'Ha'mon-gog.  And  seven  months  shall  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  be  burying  of  them,  that  they  may  cleanse 

13  the  land.  Yea,  all  the  people  of  the  land  shall 
bury  them;  and  it  shall  be  to  them  a  renown, 
in  the  day  that  I  shall  be  glorified,  saith  the  Lord 

14  God.  And  they  shall  sever  out  men  of  continual 
employment,  that  shall  pass  through  the  land  to 
bury  ^them  Hhat  pass  through,  that  remain  upon 
the  face  of  the  land,  to  cleanse  it:  after  the  end  of 

15  seven  months  shall  they  search.  And  they  that 
pass  through  the  land  shall  pass  through ;  and 
when  any  seeth  a  man's  bone,  then  shall  he  'set  up  a 
sign  by  it,  till  the  buriers  have  buried  it  in  the  valley 

16  of  Ha'mon-gog.  And  "Ha-mo'nah  shall  also  be  the 
name  of  a  city.     Thus  shall  they  cleanse   the  land. 

17  And  thou,  son  of  man,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God: 
Speak  unto  the  birds  of  every  sort,  and  to  every 
beast  of  the  field.  Assemble  yourselves,  and  come; 
gather  yourselves  on  every  side  to  my  sacrifice  that  I 
do  sacrifice  for  you,  even  a  great  sacrifice  upon  the 
mountains  of  Is'ra-el,  that  ye  may  eat  flesh  and  drink 

18  blood.  Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the  mighty,  and  drink 
the  blood  of  the  princes  of  the  earth,  of  rams,  of 
lambs,  and  of  goats,  of  bullocks,  all  of  them  fallings 

19  of  Ba'shan.  And  ye  shall  eat  fat  till  ye  be  full, 
and  drink  blood  till  ye  be  drunken,  of  my  sacrifice 

20  which  I  have  sacrificed  for  you.  And  ye  shall  be 
filled  at  my  table  with  horses  and  chariots,  with 
mighty  men,  and  with  all  men  of  war,  saith  the  Lord 

21  God.  And  I  will  set  my  glory  among  the  nations, 
and  all  the  nations  shall  see  my  judgement  that  I 
have  executed,  and  my  hand  that  I  have  laid  upon 

22  them.  ^So  the  house  of  I.s'ra-el  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord  their  God,  from  that  day    and   forward. 

23  And  the  nations  shall  know  that  the  house  of  Ls'ra-el 
went  into  captivity  for  their  iniquity :  because  they 
trespas-sed  against  me,  and  I  hid  my  face  from  them : 
so  I  gave  them  into  the  hand  of  their  adversaries,  and 

24  they  fell  all  of  them  by  the  sword.  According  to 
their  uncleanness  and  according  to  their  transgres- 
sions did  I  unto  them ;  and  I  hid  my  face  from  them.

25  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  "Now  will  I  bring 
again  the  captivity  of  Ja'cob,  and  have  mercy  upon  the 
'whole  house  of  Is'ra-el,  and  will  be  jealous  for  my  holy  name; 

26  *After  that  they  have  borne  their  shame,  and  all  their 
trespasses  whereby  they  have  trespassed  against  me,  when 
they  'dwelt  safely  in  their  land,  and  none  made  them  afraid. 

27  "'When  I  have  brought  them  again  from  the  people, 
and  gathered  them  out  of  their  tjemies'  lands,  and  "am 
sanctified  in  them  in  the  sight  of  many  nations ; 

28  "Then  shall  they  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  their  God, 
fwhich  caused  them  to  be  led  into  captivity  among  the 
heathen:  but  I  have  gathered  them  unto  their  own  land, 
and  have  left  none  of  them  any  more  there. 

29  ^Neither  will  I  hide  my  face  any  more  from  them :  for 
I  have  'poured  out  my  Spirit  upon  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER   XL. 

The  time,  manner,  and  end  of  EzekieVs  vision. 

IN  the  five  and  twentieth  year  of  our  captivity,  in  the 
beginning  of  the  year,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the  month,  in 
the  fourteenth  year  after  that  "the  city  was  smitten,  in  the  self- 
same day  'the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  upon  me,  and  brought 
me  thither. 

2  "In  the  visions  of  God  brought  he  me  into  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el,  ''and  set  me  upon  a  very  high  mountain,  ||  by  which 
xoas  as  the  frame  of  a  city  on  the  south. 

3  And  he  brought  me  thither,  and,  behold,  there  was  a 
man,  whose  appearance  was  "like  the  appearance  of  brass, 
%ith  a  line  of  flax  in  his  hand,  "and  a  measuring  reed  :  and 
he  stood  in  the  gate. 

4  And  the  man  said  unto  me,  ''Son  of  man,  behold  with 
thine  eyes,  and  hear  with  thine  ears,  and  set  thine  heart 
upon  all  that  I  shall  shew  thee ;  for  to  the  intent  that  I 
might  shew  them  unto  thee  art  thou  brought  hither:  'de- 
clare all  that  thou  seest  to  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  behold  ^a  wall  on  the  outside  of  the  house  round 
about,  and  in  the  man's  hand  a  measuring  reed  of  six  cubits 
long  by  the  cubit  and  a  handbreadth :  so  he  measured  the 
breadth  of  the  building,  one  reed  :  and  the  height  one  reed. 

6  ^Then  came  he  unto  the  gate  fwhich  looketh  toward 
the  east,  and  went  up  the  stairs  thereof,  and  measured  the 
threshold  of  the  gate,  which  loas  one  reed  broad ;  and 
the  other  threshold  of  the  gate,  which  was  one  reed  broad. 

7  And  every  little  chamber  was  one  reed  long,  and  one 
reed  broad;  and  between  the  little  chambers  were  five 
cubits;  and  the  threshold  of  the  gate  by  the  porch  of  the 
gate  within  was  one  reed. 

8  He  measured  also  the  porch  of  the  gate  within,  one  reed. 

9  Then  measured  he  the  porch  of  the  gate,  eight  cubits; 
and  the  posts  thereof,  two  cubits ;  and  the  porch  of  the 
gate  was  inward. 

10  And  the  little  chambers  of  the  gate  eastward  were  three  on 
this  side,and  three  on  that  side;  they  three  wereof  one  measure: 
and  the  posts  had  one  measure  on  this  side  and  on  that  side. 

11  And  he  measured  the  breadth  of  the  entry  of  the  gate, 
ten  cubits;  and  the  length  of  the  gate,  thirteen  cubits. 

12  The  fspace  also  before  the  little  chambers  was  one 
cubit  on  this  side,  and  the  space  was  one  cubit  on  that  side : 
and  the  little  chambers  were  six  cubits  on  this  side,  and  six 
cubits  on  that  side. 

13  He  measured  then  the  gate  from  the  roof  of  one  little 
chamber  to  the  roof  of  another :  the  breadth  was  five  and 
twenty  cubits,  door  against  door. 

14  He  made  also  posts  of  threescore  cubits,  even  unto 
the  post  of  the  court  round  about  the  gate. 

15  And  from  the  face  of  the  gate  of  the  entrance  unto  the 
fece  of  the  porch  of  the  inner  gate  were  fifty  cubits. 

16  And  the7-e  were  'fnarrow  windows  to  the  little  cham- 
bers, and  to  their  posts  within  the  gate  round  about,  and 


25     Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God:  Now  will 
bring  again  the  captivity  of  Ja'cob,  and  have  mercy 
upon  the   whole  house  of  Is'ra-el;   and  I  will  be 

26jealous  for  my  holy  name.  And  they  shall  bear 
their  shame,  and  all  their  trespasses  whereby  they 
have  trespassed  against  me,  when  they  shall  dwell 
securely  in   their  land,  and  none  shall  make  them 

27  afraid ;  when  I  have  brought  them  again  from  the 
peoples,  and  gathered  them  out  of  their  enemies' 
lands,  and  am  .sanctified  in  them  in  the  sight  of  many 

28  nations.  And  they  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord 
their  God,  in  that  I  caused  them  to  go  into  cap- 
tivity among  the  nations,  and  have  gathered  them 
unto  their  own  land;  and  I  will  leave  none  of  them 

29 any  more  there;  neither  will  I  hide  my  face  any 
more  from  them :  for  I  have  poured  out  ray  spirit 
upon  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

'^ v  In  the  five  and  twentieth  year  of  our  captivity,  in 
the  beginning  of  the  year,  in  the  tenth  day  of  the 
month,  in  the  fourteenth  year  after  that  the  city  was 
smitten,  in  the  selfsame  "day,  the  hand  of  the  Lord 

2  was  upon  me,  and  he  brought  me  thither.  In  the 
visions  of  God  brought  he  me  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el, 
and  set  me  down  upon  a  very  high  mountain,  whereon 
was  as  it  were  the  frame  of  a  city  on  the  south. 

3  And  he  brought  me  thither,  and  behold,  there  was 
a  man,  who.se  appearance  was  like  the  appearance  of 
brass,  with  a  line  of  flax  in  his  hand,  and  a  mea.suring 

4  reed ;  and  he  stood  in  the  gate.  And  the  man  said 
unto  me.  Son  of  man,  behold  with  thine  eyes,  and 
hear  with  thine  ears,  and  set  thine  heart  upon  all 
that  I  shall  shew  thee ;  for  to  the  intent  that  I  might 
shew  them  unto  thee  art  thou  brought  hither:  de- 
clare all  that  thou  seest  to  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  And  behold,  a  wall  on  the  outside  of  the  house 
round  about,  and  in  the  man's  hand  a  measuring,  reed 
of  six  cubits  long,  of  a  cubit  and  an  handbreadth 
each  :    so  he  measured  the  thickness  of  the  building, 

6  one  reed ;  and  the  height,  one  reed.  Then  came  he 
unto  the  gate  which  looketh  toward  the  east,  and  went 
up  the  steps  thereof;  and  he  measured  the  threshold 
of  the  gate,  one  reed  broad :  'and  the  other  threshold, 

7  one  reed  broad.  And  every  ^lodge  was  one  reed 
long,  and  one  reed  broad;  and  the  space  between  the 
lodges  was  five  cubits ;  and  the  threshold  of  the 
gate  by  the  porch  of  the  gate  toward  the  house  was 

8  one  reed.     'He  measured  also  the  porch  of  the  gate 

9  toward  the  house,  one  reed.  Then  measured  he  the 
porch  of  the  gate,  eight  cubits;  and  the  *posts 
thereof,  two  cubits;    and  the  porch  of  the  gate  was 

10  toward  the  house.  And  the  lodges  of  the  gate  east- 
ward were  three  on  this  side,  and  three  on  that  side ; 
they  three  were  of  one  measure :   and  the  posts  had 

11  one  measure  on  this  side  and  on  that  side.  And  he 
measured  the  breadth  of  the  opening  of  the  gate,  ten 
cubits;   and  the  length  of  the  gate,  thirteen  cubits; 

12  and  a  border  before  the  lodges,  one  cubit  on  this  side, 
and  a  border,  one  cubit  on  that  side ;  and  the  lodges, 
six  cubits  on  this  side,  and  six  cubits  on  that  side. 

13  And  he  measured  the  gate  from  the  roof  of  the  one 
lodge  to  the  roof  of  the  other,  a  breadth  of  five  and 

14 twenty  cubits;  door  against  door.  He  made  also 
posts,  threestore  cubits  ;  and  the  court  reached  unto 

15  the  post,  the  gate  being  round  about.  And  from  the 
forefront  of  the  gate  at  the  entrance  unto  the  fore- 
front of  the  "inner  porch  of  the  gate  were  fifty  cubits. 

16  And  there  were  closed  windows  to  the  lodges, 
and  to  their  posts  within  the  gate  round  about,  and

likewise  to  the   Hatches:  and  windows  were  round-about 
II  inward :  and  upon  each  post  were  palm  trees. 

17  Then  brought  he  me  into  ""the  outward  court,  and,  lo, 
there  were  "chambers,  and  a  pavement  made  for  the  court 
round  about:  "thirty  chambers  were  upon  the  pavement. 

18  And  the  pavement  by  the  side  of  the  gates  over  against 
the  length  of  the  gates  was  the  lower  pavement. 

19  Then  he  measured  the  breadth  from  the  forefront  of  the 
lower  gate  unto  the  forefront  of  the  inner  court  1|  without, 
a  hundred  cubits  eastward  and  northward. 

20  ^And  the  gate  of  the  outward  court  fthat  looked 
toAvard  the  north,  he  measured  the  length  thereof,  and  the 
breadth  thereof. 

21  And  the  little  chambers  thereof  were  three  on  this 
side  and  three  on  that  side ;  and  the  posts  thereof  and  the 
II arches  thereof  were  after  the  measure  of  the  first  gate: 
the  length  thereof  was  fifty  cubits,  and  the  breadth  five  and 
twenty  cubits. 

22  And  their  windows,  and  their  arches,  and  their  palm 
trees,  were  after  the  measure  of  the  gate  that  looketh  toward 
the  east :  and  they  went  up  unto  it  by  seven  steps ;  and  the 
arches  thereof  were  before  them. 

23  And  the  gate  of  the  inner  court  wa«  over  against  the 
gate  toward  the  north,  and  toward  the  east;  and  he  meas- 
ured from  gate  to  gate  a  hundred  cubits. 

24  ^After  that  he  brought  me  toward  the  south,  and  be- 
hold a  gate  toward  the  south :  and  he  measured  the  posts 
thereof,  and  the  arches  thereof,  according  to  these  measures. 

25  And  there  were  windows  in  it  and  in  the  arches  thereof 
round  about,  like  those  windows:  the  length  was  fifty  cubits, 
and  the  breadth  five  and  twenty  cubits. 

26  And  there  were  seven  steps  to  go  up  to  it,  and  the  arches 
thereof  were  before  them :  and  it  had  palm  trees,  one  on 
this  side,  and  another  on  that  side,  upon  the  posts  thereof. 

27  And  there  was  a  gate  in  the  inner  court  toward  the 
south:  and  he  measured  from  gate  to  gate  toward  the 
south,  a  hundred  cubits. 

28  And  he  brought  me  to  the  inner  court  by  the  south- 
gate:  and  he  measured  the  south  gate  according  to  these 
measures ; 

29  And  the  little  chambers  thereof,  and  the  posts  thereof, 
and  the  arches  thereof,  according  to  these  measures :  and 
there  were  windows  in  it  and  in  the  arches  thereof  round 
about:  it  was  fifty  cubits  long,  and  five  and  twenty  cubits 
broad. 

30  And  the  arches  round  about  were  "five  and  twenty 
cubits  long,  and  five  cubits  fbroad. 

31  And  the  arches  thereof  were  toward  the  outer  court; 
and  palm  trees  were  upon  the  posts  thereof:  and  the  going 
up  to  it  had  eight  steps. 

32  %And  he  brought  me  into  the  inner  court  toward  the 
east :  and  he  measured  the  gate  according  to  these  measures. 

33  And  the  little  chambers  thereof,  and  the  posts  thereof, 
and  the  arches  thereof,  were  according  to  these  measures: 
and  there  were  windows  therein  and  in  the  arches  thereof 
round  about :  it  was  fifty  cubits  long,  and  five  and  twenty 
cubits  broad. 

34  And  the  arches  thereof  were  toward  the  outward  court ; 
and  palm  trees  were  upon  the  posts  thereof,  on  this  side,  and 
on  that  side :  and  the  going  up  to  it  had  eight  steps. 

35  ^And  he  brought  me  to  the  north  gate,  and  measured 
it  according  to  these  measures ; 

36  The  little  chambers  thereofj  the  pests  thereof,  and  the 
arches  thereof,  and  the  windows  to  it  round  about:  the 
length  was  fifty  cubits,  and  the  breadth  five  and  twenty 
cubits. 

37  And  the  posts  thereof  were  toward  the  outer  court; 
and  palm  trees  were  upon  the  posts  thereof,  on  this  side, 
and  on  that  side :  and  the  going  up  to  it  had  eight  steps. 


likewise  to  the  'arches :  and  windows  were  round 
about  inward :  and  upon  each  post  were  palm  trees. 

17  Then  brought  he  me  into  the  outer  court,  and,  lo, 
there  were  chambers  and  a  pavement,  made  for  the 
court  round  about:  thirty  chambers  were  upon  the 

18  pavement.  And  the  pavement  was  by  the  ^side  of 
the  gates,  answerable  unto  the  length  of  the  gates, 

19  even  the  lower  pavement.  Then  he  measured  the 
breadth  from  the  forefront  of  the  lower  gate  unto 
the  forefront  of  the  inner  court  without,  au  hundred 

20  cubits,  both  on  the  ea.st  and  on  the  north.  And  the 
gate  of  the  outer  court  whose  prospect  is  toward 
the  north,  he  measured  the  length  thereof  and  the 

21  breadth  thereof.  And  the  lodges  thereof  were  three 
on  this  side  and  three  on  that  side;  and  the  posts 
thereof  and  the  arches  thereof  were  after  the 
measure  of  the  first  gate :  the  length  thereof  was 
fifty  cubits,  and  the  breadth  five  and  twenty  cubits. 

22  And  the  windows  thereof  and  the  arches  thereof, 
and  the  palm  trees  thereof,  were  after  the  measure 
of  the  gate  whose  prospect  is  toward  the  east;  and 
they  went  up  unto  it  by  seven  steps;  and  the  arches 

23  thereof  were  before  them.  And  there  was  a  gate  to 
the  inner  court  over  against  the  other  gate,  both  on 
the   north  and  on  the  east ;  and  he  measured  from 

24  gate  to  gate  an  hundred  cubits.  And  he  led  me 
toward  the  south,  and  behold  a  gate  toward  the 
south :  and  he  measured  the  posts  thereof  and  the 

25 arches  thereof  according  to  these  measures.  And 
there  were  windows  in  it  and  in  the  arches  thereof 
rciiLind  about,  like  those  windows:  the  length  was 
fifty  cubits,  and  the  breadth  five  and  twenty  cubits. 

26  And  there  were  seven  steps  to  go  up  to  it,  and  the 
arches  thereof  were  before  them :  and  it  had  palm 
trees,  one  on  this  side,  and  another  on  that  side, 

27  upon  the  posts  thereof.  And  there  was  a  gate  to  the 
inner  court  toward  the  south :  and  he  measured  from 
gate  to  gate  toward  the  south  an  hundred  cubits. 

28  Then  he  brought  me  to  the  inner  court  by  the 
south  gate :  and  he  measured  the  south  gate  accord- 

29ing  to  these  measures;  and  the  lodges  thereof, 
and  the  posts  thereof,  and  the  arches  thereof, 
according  to  these  measures:  and  there  were  win- 
dows in  it  and  in  the  arches  thereof  round  about: 
it  was  fifty  cubits  long,  and  five  and   twenty  cubits 

30  broad.     And  there  were  arches  round  about,   five 

31  and  twenty  cubits  long,  and  five  cubits  broad.  And 
the  arches  thereof  were  toward  the  outer  court; 
and     palm    trees    were     upon    the    posts     thereof: 

32  and  the  going  up  to  it  had  eight  steps.  And  he 
brought  me  into  the  inner  court  toward  the  east: 
and  he  measured  the  gate  according  to  these  meas- 

33ures;  and  the  lodges  thereof,  and  the  ppsts  thereof, 
and  the  arches  thereof,  according  to  these  measures : 
and  there  were  windows  therein  and  in  the  arches

38  And  the  chambers  and  the  entries  thereof  were  by  the 
posts  of  the  gates,  where  they  washed  the  burnt  offering. 

39  ^And  in  the  porch  of  the  gate  were  two  tables  on  this 
side,  and  two  tables  on  that  side,  to  slay  thereon  the  burnt 
offering,  and  'the  sin  offering,  and  ''the  trespa.ss  offering. 

40  And  at  the  side  without,  ||as  one  goeth  up  to  the  entry 
of  the  north  gate,  were  two  tables ;  and  on  the  other  side, 
which  was  at  the  porch  of  the  gate,  were  two  tables. 

41  Four  tables  were  on  this  side,  and  four  tables  on  that 
side,  by  the  side  of  the  gate ;  eight  tables,  whereupon  they 
slew  their  sacrifices. 

42  And  the  four  tables  were  of  hewn  stone  for  the  burnt 
offering,  of  a  cubit  and  a  half  long,  and  a  cubit  and  a 
half  broad,  and  one  cubit  high ;  whereupon  also  they  laid 
the  instruments  wherewith  they  slew  the  burnt  offering  and 
the  sacrifice. 

43  And  within  were  ||  hooks,  a  hand  broad,  fastened  round 
about :  and  upon  the  tables  teas  the  flesh  of  the  offering. 

44  ^  And  without  the  inner  gate  were  the  chambers  of  'the 
singers  in  the  inner  court,  which  was  at  the  side  of  the  north 
gate ;  and  their  prospect  was  toward  the  south :  one  at  the 
side  of  the  east  gate  having  the  prospect  toward  the  north. 

45  And  he  said  unto  me.  This  chamber,  whose  prospect  is 
toward  the  south,  is  for  the  priests,  'the  keepers  of  the  ||  charge 
of  the  house. 

46  And  the  chamber  whose  prospect  is  toward  the  north 
is  for  the  priests,  "the  keepers  of  the  charge  of  the  altar : 
these  are  the  sons  of  "'Za'dok  among  the  sons  of  Le'vi, 
which  come  near  to  the  Lord  to  minister  unto  him. 

47  So  he  measured  the  court,  a  hundred  cubits  long,  and  a 
hundred  cubits  broad,  foursquare;  and  the  altar  that  was 
before  the  house. 

48  ^And  he  brought  me  to  the  porch  of  the  house,  and 
measured  each  post  of  the  porch,  five  cubits  on  this  side,  and 
five  cubits  on  that  side  :  and  the  breadth  of  the  gate  was  three 
cubits  on  this  side,  and  three  cubits  on  that  side. 

49  "The  length  of  the  porch  was  twenty  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  eleven  cubits ;  and  he  brought  me  by  the  steps  whereby 
they  went  up  to  it :  and  there  were  'pillars  by  the  posts,  one 
on  this  side,  and  another  on  that  side. 

CHAF-XER    XT^I. 

The  measures,  parts, chambey-s,  and  ornaments  of  the  temple. 

AFTERWARD  he  brought  me  to  the  temple,  and 
measured  the  posts,  six  cubits  broad  on  the  one  side,  and 
six  cubits  broad  on  the  other  side,  which  was  the  breadth 
of  the  tabernacle. 

2  And  the  breadth  of  the  ||door  toas  ten  cubits;  and  the 
sides  of  the  door  were  five  cubits  on  the  one  side,  and  five 
cubits  on  the  other  side  :  and  he  measured  the  length  thereof, 
forty  cubits,  and  the  breadth,  twenty  cubits. 

3  Then  went  he  inward,  and  measured  the  posts  of  the 
door,  two  cubits  ;  and  the  door  six  cubits ;  and  the  breadth 
of  the  door,  seven  cubits. 

4  So  "he  measured  the  length  thereof,  twenty  cubits ;  and 
the  breadth,  twenty  cubits,  before  the  temple:  and  he  said 
unto  me.  This  is  the  most  holy  place. 

5  After  he  measured  the  wall  of  the  house,  six  cubits ;  and 
the  breadth  of  every  side  chamber,  four  cubits,  round  about 
the  house  on  every  side. 

6  ''And  the  side  chambers  were  three,  tone  over  another, 
and  II thirty  in  order;  and  they  entered  into  the  wall  which 
was  of  the  house  for  the  side  chambers  round  about,  that 
they  might  fhave  hold,  but  they  had  not  hold  in  the  wall 
of  the  house. 

7  And  t'</iere  was  an  enlarging,  and  a  winding  about  still 
upward  to  the  side  chambers :  for  the  winding  about  of  the 
house  went  still  upward  round  about  the  house :  therefore 
the  breadth  of  the  house  was  still  upward,  and  so  increased 
from  the  lowest  chamber  to  the  highest  by  the  midst. 


38  And  a  chamber  with  the  door  thereof  was  by  the 
posts  at  the  gates ;  ther§  they  washed  the  burnt  offer- 

39  ing.  And  'in  the  porch  of  the  gate  were  two  tables  on 
this  side,  and  two  tables  on  that  side,  to  slay  thereon 
the  burnt  offering  and  the  sin  offering  and  the  guilt 

40  offering.  And  on  the  one  side  without,  ^as  one  goeth 
up  to  the  entry  of  the  gate  toward  the  north,  were 
two  tables;  and  on  the  other  side,  which  belonged  to 

41  the  porch  of  the  gate,  were  two  tables.  Four  tables 
were  on  this  side,  and  four  tables  on  that  side,  by  the 
side  of  the  gate ;  eight  tables,  whereupon  they  slew 

42  the  sacrifices.  And  there  were  four  tables  for  the  burnt 
offering,  of  hewn  stone,  a  cubit  and  an  half  long,  and 
a  cubit  and  an  half  broad,  and  one  cubit  high  :  where- 
upon they  laid  the  instruments  wherewith  they  slew 

43  the  burnt  offering  and  the  sacrifice.  And  the  ^hooks, 
an  handbreadth  long,  were  fastened  ''within  round 
about :  and  upon  the  tables  was  the  flesh  of  the  ob 

44  lation.  'And  without  the  inner  gate  were  chambers 
for  the  singers  in  the  inner  court,  which  was  at  the 
side  of  the  north  gate ;  and  their  prospect  was  toward 
the  south :  one  at    the  side  of  the  east  gate  having 

45  the  prospect  toward  the  north.  And  he  said  unto 
me.  This  chamber,  whose  prospect  is  toward  the 
south,  is  for  the  priests,  the  keepers  of  the  charge  of 

46  the  house.  And  the  chamber  whose  prospect  is 
toward  the  north  is  for  the  priests,  the  keepers  of  the 
charge  of  the  altar:  these  are  the  sons  of  Za'dok, 
which  from  among  the  sons  of  Le'vi  come  near  to  the 

47  Lord  to  minister  unto  him.  And  he  measured  the 
court, an  hundred  cubits  long,  and  an  hundred  cubits 
broad,  foursquare ;  and  the  altar  was  before  the  house. 

48  Then  he  brought  me  to  the  porch  of  the  house,  and 
measured  each  po.st  of  the  porch,  five  cubitson  this  side, 
and  five  cubits  on  that  side :  and  the  breadth  of  the  gate 
was  three  cubits  on  this  side,  and  three  cubits  on  that 

49  side.  The  length  of  the  porch  was  twenty  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  eleven  cubits;  ^even  by  the  steps  whereby 
they  went  up  to  it :  and  there  were  pillars  by  the 
posts,  one  on  this  side,  and  another  on  that  side. 


u 


And  he  brought  me  to  the  temple,  and  measured 


the  posts,  six  cubits  broad  on  the  one  side,  and  six 
cubits  broad  on  the  other  side,  which  was  the 
2 breadth  of  the  ^tabernacle.  And  the  breadth  of  the 
entrance  was  ten  cubits;  and  the^sides  of  the  entrance 
were  five  cubits  on  the  one  side,  and  five  cubits  on  the 
other  side :   and  he  measured   the    length    thereof, 

3  forty  cubits,  and  the  breadth,  twenty  cubits.  Then 
went  he  inward,  and  measured  each  post  of  the 
entrance,  two  cubits:  and  the   entrance,  six  cubits; 

4  and  the  breadth  of  the  entrance,  seven  cubits.  And 
he  measured  the  length  thereof,  twenty  cubits,  and 
the  breadth,  twenty  cubits,  before  the  Hemple : 
and  he  said  unto   me,  This  is  the  most  holy  place. 

5 Then  he  measured  the  wall  of  the  house,  six  cubits; 
and  the  breadth  of  every  side-chamber,  four  cubits, 

Ground  about  the  house  on  every  side.  And  the 
side-chambers  were  in  three  stories,  one  over  an- 
other, and  thirty  in  order;  and  they  entered  into 
the  wall  which  belonged  to  the  house  for  the  side- 
chambers  round  about,  that  they  might  have  hold 
therein,  and  not  have  hold  in  the  wall  of  the  house, 

7  And  *°the  side-chambers  were  broader  as  they  encom- 
passed the  house  higher  and  higher;  for  the  encom- 
passing of  the  house  went  higher  and  higher  round 
about  the  house :  therefore  the  breadth  of  the  house 
continued  upward;  and  so  one  went  up  from  the  low- 
est chamber  to  the  highest  by  the  middle  ohamber.

8  I  saw  also  the  height  of  the  house  round  about:  the 
foundations  of  the  side  chambers  were  *&  full  reed  of  six 
great  cubits. 

9  The  thickness  of  the  wall,  which  was  for  the  side 
chamber  without,  was  five  cubits :  and  that  which  was  left 
was  the  place  of  the  side  chambers  that  were  within. 

10  And  between  the  chambers  was  the  wideness  of  twenty 
cubits  round  about  the  house  on  every  side. 

11  And  the  doors  of  the  side  chambers  tvere  toward  the 
place  that  was  left,  one  door  toward  the  north,  and  another 
door  toward  the  south:  and  the  breadth  of  the  place  that 
was  left  was  five  cubits  round  about. 

12  Now  the  building  that  was  before  the  separate  place 
at  the  end  toward  the  west  was  seventy  cubits  broad ;  and 
the  wall  of  the  building  was  five  cubits  thick  round  about, 
and  the  length  thereof  ninety  cubits. 

13  So  he  measured  the  house,  a  hundred  cubits  long;  and 
the  separate  place,  and  the  building,  with  the  walls  thereof, 
a  hundred  cubits  long; 

14  Also  the  breadth  of  the  face  of  the  house,  and  of  the 
separate  place  toward  the  east,  a  hundred  cubits. 

15  And  he  measured  the  length  of  the  building  over  against 
the  separate  place  which  was  behind  it,  and  the  ||  galleries 
thereof  on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other  side,  a  hundred 
cubits,  with  the  inner  temple,  and  the  porches  of  the  court; 

16  The  door  posts,  and  'the  narrow  windows,  and  the 
galleries  round  about  on  their  three  stories,  over  against 
the  door,  fceiled  with  wood  round  about,  ||and  from  the 
ground  up  to  the  windows,  and  the  windows  were  covered ; 

17  To  that  above  the  door,  even  unto  the  inner  house, 
and  without,  and  by  all  the  wall  round  about  within  and 
without,  by  fmeasure. 

18  And  it  was  made  Avith  cherubim  and  palm  trees, 
so  that  a  palm  tree  was  between  a  cherub  and  a  cherub,  and 
every  cherub  had  two  faces ; 

19  "So  that  the  face  of  a  man  was  toward  the  palm  tree  on 
the  one  side,  and  the  face  of  a  young  lion  toward  the  palm 
tree  on  the  other  side :  it  was  made  through  all  the  house 
round  about. 

20  From  the  ground  unto  above  the  door  were  cherubim 
and  palm  trees  made,  and  on  the  wall  of  the  temple. 

21  The  tposts  of  the  temple  toere  squared,  ayid  the  face  of 
the  sanctuary ;  the  appearance  of  the  one  as  the  appearance 
of  the  other. 

22  'The  altar  of  wood  was  three  cubits  high,  and  the 
length  thereof  two  cubits;  and  the  corners  thereof,  and  the 
length  thereof,  and  the  walls  thereof,  were  of  wood :  and  he 
said  unto  me,  This  is  'the  table  that  is  *before  the  Lord. 

23  'And  the  temple  and  the  sanctuary  had  two  doors. 

24  And  the  doors  had  two  leaves  apiece,  two  turning  leaves ; 
two  leaves  for  the  one  door,  and  two  leaves  for  the  other  door. 

25  And  there  were  made  on  them,  on  the  doors  of  the 
temple,  cherubim  and  i)alm  trees,  like  as  were  made  upon 
the  walls;  and  there  were  thick  planks  upon  the  face  of  the 
porch  without. 

26  And  there  were  "narrow  windows  and  j)alin  trees  on  the 
one  side  and  on  the  other  side,  on  the  sides  of  the  porch,  and 
upon  the  side  chambers  of  the  house,  and  thick  planks. 

CHAF-TER    XLII. 

The  chambers  for  the  priests— The  use  thereof. 

11HEN  he  brought  me  forth  into  the  outer  court,  the  way 
-  toward  the  north :  and  he  brought  me  into  "the  chamber 
that  was  over  again.st  the  separate  place,  and  which  was 
before  the  building  toward  the  north. 

2  Before  the  length  of  a  hundred  cubits  was  the  north 
door,  and  the  breadth  was  fifty  cubits. 

3  Over  against  the  twenty  cubits  which  were  for  the  inner 
court,  and  over  against  the  pavement  which  was  for  the 
outer  court,  was  ''gallery  against  gallery  in  three  stories. 


8 1  saw  also  'that  the  house  had  ^a  raised  basement 
round  about;  the  foundations  of  the  side-chambers 

9  were  a  full  reed  'of  six  great  cubits.  The  thickness 
of  the  wall,  which  was  for  the  side-chambers,  on  the 
outside,  was  five  cubits:  ^and  that  which  was  left  was 
the  place  of  the  side-chambers  that  belonged  to  the 

10  house.  And  between  the  chambers  was  a  breadth  of 
twenty  cubits  round  about  the  house  on  every  side. 

11  And  the  doors  of  the  side-chambers  were  toward  the 
place  that  was  left,  one  door  toward  the  north,  and 
another  door  toward  the  south :  and  the  breadth  of 
the  place  that  was  left  was  five  cubits  round  about. 

12  And  the  building  that  .was  before  the  separate  place 
at  the  side  toward  the  west  was  seventy  cubits  broad ; 
and  the  wall  of  the  building  was  five  cubits  thick 
round  about,  and  the  length  thereof  ninety  cubits. 

13 So  he  measured  the  house  an  hundred  cubits  long; 
and  the  separate  place,  and  the  building,  with  the 

14 walls  thereof,  an  hundred  cubits  long;  also  the 
breadth  of  the  face  of  the  house,  and  of  the  separate 
place  toward  the  east,  an  hundred  cubits. 

15  And  he  measured  the  length  of  the  building  before 
the  separate  place  which  was  at  the  back  thereof,  and 
the  galleries  thereof  on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other 
side,  an  hundred  cubits ;  and  the  inner  temple,  and  the 

16 porches  of  the  court;  the  thresholds,  and  the  closed 
windows,  and  the  galleries  round  about  on  their  three 
stories,  over  against  the  threshold,  cieled  with  wood 
round  about,  and  from  the  ground  up  to  the  windows; 

17 now  the  windows  were  covered;  to  the  space  above 
the  door,  even  unto  the  inner  house,  and  without,  and 
by  all  the  wall  round  about  within  and  without,  'by 

18  measure.  And  it  was  made  with  cherubim  and 
palm  trees;   and  a   palm  tree  was  between   cherub 

19 and  cherub,  and  every  cherub  had  two  faces;  so 
that  there  was  the  face  of  a  man  toward  the  palm 
tree  on  the  one  side,  and  the  face  of  a  young  lion 
toward  the  palm  tree  on  the  other  side :  thus  was  it 

20  made  through  all  the  house  round  about.  From  the 
ground  unto  above  the  door  were  cherubim  and 
palm  trees  made:  ^thus  was  the  wall  of  the  temple. 

21  As  for  the  temple,  the  door  posts  were  squared;  and 
as   for  the  face  of  the    sanctuary,  the  appearance 

22  thereof  was  'as  the  appearance  of  the  temple.  The 
altar  was  of  wood,  three  cubits  high,  and  the  length 
thereof  two  cubits;  and  *the  corners  thereof,  and 
the  'length  thereof,  and  the  walls  thereof,  were  of 
wood:  and  he  said  unto  me.  This  is  the  table  that 

23  is  before  the  Lord.    And  the  temple  and  the  sanc- 

24  tuary  had  two  doors.  And  the  doors  had  two  leaves 
apiece,  two  turning  leaves ;  two   leaves  for  the  one 

25  door,  and  two  leaves  for  the  other.  And  there  were 
made  on  them,  on  the  doors  of  the  temple,  cheru- 
bim and  palm  trees,  like  as  were  made  upon  the 
walls ;  and  there  were  thick  beams  of  wood  '"upon  the 

26  face  of  the  porch  without.  And  there  were  closed 
windows  and  palm  trees  on  the  one  side  and  on  the 
other  side,  on  the  sides  of  the  porch :  thus  were  the 
side-chambers  of  the  house,  and  the  thick  beams. 

*^  Then  he  brought  me  forth  into  the  outer  court,  the 
way  toward  the  north:  and  he  brought  me  into  the 
chamber  that  was  over  against  the  separate  place,  and 
which  was  over  against  the  building  toward  the  north. 
2  Before  the  length  of  "an  hundred  cubits  was  the  north 
3 door, and  the  breadth  was  fifty  cubits.  Over  against 
the  twenty  cubits  which  belonged  to  the  inner  court,and 
over  again.st  the  pavement  which  belonged  totheouter

4  And  before  the  chambers  was  a  walk  of  ten  cubits 
breadth  inward,  a  way  of  one  cubit ;  and  their  doors  toward 
the  north. 

5  Now  the  upper  chambers  were  shorter :  for  the  galleries 
were  ||  higher  than  these,  ||than  the  lower,  and  than  the 
middlemost  of  the  building. 

6  For  they  were  in  three  stories,  but  had  not  pillars  as  the 
pillars  of  the  courts :  therefore  (he  building  was  straitened 
more  than  the  lowest  and  the  middlemost  from  the  ground. 

7  And  the  wall  that  was  without  over  against  the  cham- 
bers, toward  the  outer  court  on  the  forepart  of  the  chambers, 
the  length  thereof  was  fifty  cubits. 

8  For  the  length  of  the  chambers  that  were  in  the  outer 
court  was  fifty  cubits:  and,  lo,  before  the  temple  were  a 
hundred  cubits. 

9  And  1 1  from  under  these  chambers  was  ||the  entry  on 
the  east  side,  ||as  one  goeth  into  them  from  the  outer  court. 

10  The  chambers  wei-e  in  the  thickness  of  the  wall  of 
the  court  toward  the  east,  over  against  the  separate  place, 
and  over  against  the  building. 

11  And  "the  way  before  them  was  like  the  appearance  of 
the  chambers  which  were  toward  the  north,  as  long  as  they, 
and  as  broad  as  they:  and  all  their  goings  out  were  both 
according  to  their  fashions,  and  according  to  their  doors. 

12  And  according  to  the  doors  of  the  chambers  that  were 
toward  the  south  was  a  door  in  the  head  of  the  way,  even 
the  way  directly  before  the  wall  toward  the  east,  as  one 
entereth  into  them. 

13  ^Then  said  he  unto  me.  The  north  chambers  and  the 
south  chambers,  which  are  before  the  separate  place,  they  be 
holy  chambers,  where  the  priests  that  approach  unto  the 
Lord  ''shall  eat  the  most  holy  things :  there  shall  they  lay 
the  most  holy  things,  and  'the  meat  ofiering,  and  the  sin 
offering,  and  the  trespass  offering ;  for  the  place  is  holy. 

14  AVhen  the  priests  enter  therein,  then  shall  they  not  go 
out  of  the  holy  place  into  the  outer  court,  but  there  they 
shall  lay  their  garments  wherein  they  minister ;  for  they  are 
holy ;  and  shall  put  on  other  garments,  and  shall  approach 
to  those  things  which  are  for  the  people. 

15  Now  when  he  had  made  an  end  of  measuring  the 
inner  house,  he  brought  me  forth  toward  the  gate  whose 
prospect  is  toward  the  east,  and  measured  it  round  about. 

16  He  measured  the  east  fside  with  the  measuring  reed, 
five  hundred  reeds,  with  the  measuring  reed  round  about. 

17  He  measured  the  north  side,  five  hundred  reeds,  with 
the  measuring  reed  round  about. 

18  He  measured  the  south  side,  five  hundred  reeds,  with 
the  measuring  reed. 

19  1[He  turned  about  to  the  west  side,  and  measured  five 
hundred  reeds,  with  the  measuring  reed. 

20  He  measured  it  by  the  four  sides :  'it  had  a  wall  round 
about,  'five  hundred  reeds  long,  and  five  hundred  broad,  to 
make  a  separation  between  the  sanctuary  and  the  profane  place. 

CHAPTER  XIvIII. 

The  glory  of  the  Lord  returneth  into  the  temple. 

AFTERWARD  he  brought  me  to  the  gate,  even  the  gate 
"that  looketh  toward  the  east : 

2  ''And,  behold,  the  glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  came  from 
the  way  of  the  east:  and  ''his  voice  was  Ifke  a  noise  of 
many  waters :  ""and  the  earth  shined  with  his  glory. 

3  And  it  was  'according  to  the  appearance  of  the  vision 
which  I  saw,  even  according  to  the  vision  that  I  saw 
II when  I  came  -^to  destroy  the  city:  and  the  visions  were 
like  the  vision  that  I  saw  "by  the  river  Che'bar;  and  I  fell 
upon  my  face. 

4  'And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  came  into  the  house  by  the 
way  of  the  gate  whose  prospect  is  toward  the  east. 

5  'So  the  spirit  took  me  up,  and  brought  me  into  the  inner 
court ;  and,  Toehold,  *the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  house. 


4  And  before  the  chambers  was  a  walk  of  ten  cubits 
breadth  inward,  a  way  of  'one  cubit ;  and  their  doors 

5  were  toward  the  north.  Now  the  upper  chambers 
were  shorter  :  for  the  galleries  took  away  from  these, 
more  than  from  the  lower  and  the  middlemost,  in  the 

6  building.  For  they  were  in  three  stories,  and  they  had 
not  pillars  as  the  pillars  of  the  courts :  therefore  the 
uppermost  was  straitened  more  than  the  lowest  and  the 

7  middlemost  from  the  ground.  And  the  h\&\\  that  was 
without  by  the  side  of  the  chambers,  toward  the  outer 
court  before  the  chambers,  the  length  thereof  was  fifty 

8  cubits.  For  the  length  of  the  chambers  that  were  in 
the  outer  court  was  fifty  cubits :  and,  lo,  before  the 

9  temple  were  an  hundred  cubits.  And  from  under 
these  chambers  was  the  entry  on  the  east  side,  as  one 

10  goeth  into  them  from  the  outer  court.  In  the  thick- 
ness of  the  ^wall  of  the  court  toward  the  east,  before 
the  separate  place,  and  before  the  building,  there 

11  were  chambers.  And  the  way  before  them  was  like 
the  appearance  of  the  way  of  the  chambers  which 
were  toward  the  north ;  'according  to  their  length 
so  was  their  breadth :  and  all  their  goings  out  were 
both  according  to  their  fashions,  and  according  to 

12  their  doors.  And  according  to  the  doors  of  the 
chambers  that  were  toward  the  south  was  a  door  in 
the  head  of  the  way,  even  the  way  directly  before 
the  ^wall  toward  the  east,  as  one  entereth  into  them. 

13  Then  said  he  unto  me.  The  north  chambers  and  the 
south  chambers,  which  are  before  the  separate  place, 
they  be  the  holy  chambers,  where  the  priests  that  are 
near  unto  the  Lord  shall  eat  the  most  holy  things : 
there  shall  they  lay  the  most  holy  things,  and  the 
meal  offering,  and  the  sin  offering,  and  the  guilt 

14 offering;  for  the  place  is  holy.  When  the  priests 
enter  in,  then  shall  they  not  go  out  of  the  holy  place 
into  the  outer  court,  but  there  they  shall  lay  their 
garments  wherein  they  minister ;  for  they  are  holy : 
and  they  shall  put  on  other  garments,  and  shall  ap- 
proach to  that  which  pertaineth  to  the  people. 

15  Now  when  he  had  made  an  end  of  measuring  the 
inner  house,  he  brought  me  forth  by  the  way  of  the 
gate  whose  prospect  is  toward  the  east,  and  meas- 

16ured  it  round  about.  He  measured  on  the  east  *side 
with  the  measuring  reed,  five  hundred  reeds,  with 

17  the  measuring  reed  round  about.  He  measured  on 
the  north  *side,  five  hundred  reeds,  with  the  measur- 

18ing  reed  round  about.  He  measured  on  the  south 
*side,  five  hundred  reeds  with  the  measuring  reed. 

19  He  turned  about  to  the  west  ^side,  and  measured 

20  five  hundred  reeds  with  the  measuring  reed.  He 
measured  it  'on  the  four  sides :  it  had  a  wall  round 
about,  the  length  five  hundred,  and  the  breadth  five 
hundred,  to  make  a  separation  between  that  which 
was  holy  and  that  which  was  common. 

+^0     Afterward  he  brought  me  to  the  gate,  even  the 

2 gate  that  looketh  toward  the  east:  and  behold,  the 

glory  of  the  God  of  Is'ra^el  came  from  the  way  of 

the  east :  and  his  voice  was  like  the  sound  of  many 

3 waters:  and  the  earth  shined  with  his  glory.     And 

it  was  according  to   the  appearance  of  the  vision 

.which  I  saw,  even  according  to  the  vision  that  I  saw 

when  I  came  to  destroy  the  city;  and  the  visions 

were  like  the  vision  that  I  saw  by  the  river  Che'bar : 

4  and  I  fell  upon  my  face.  And  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  came  into  the  house  by  the  way  of  the  gate 

5  whose  prospect  is  toward  the  east.  And  the  spirit 
took  me  up,  and  brought  me  into  the  inner  court; 
and  behold,  the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  house.

6  And  I  heard  him  speaking  unto  me  out  of  the  house ; 
and  'the  man  stood  by  me. 

7  ^And  he.  said  unto  me,  Son  of  man,  ""the  place  of  my 
throne,  and  "the  place  of  the  soles  of  my  feet,  "where  I  will 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  for  ever,  and 
ray  holy  name,  shall  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  ''no  more  defile, 
neither  they,  nor  their  kings,  by  their  whoredom,  nor  by 'the 
carcasses  of  their  kings  in  their  high  places. 

8  ''In  their  setting  of  their  threshold  by  my  thresholds, 
and  their  post  by  my  posts,  ||  and  the  wall  between  me  and 
them,  they  have  even  defiled  my  holy  name  by  their 
abominations  that  they  have  committed  :  wherefore  I  have 
coiisumed  them  in  mine  anger. 

'^  Now  let  them  put  away  their  whoredom,  and  'the  car- 
c>*s8es  of  their  kings,  far  from  me,  'and  I  will  dwell  in  the 
Aiidst  of  them  for  ever. 

10  ^Thou  son  of  man,  "shew  the  house  to  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  they  may  be  ashamed  of  their  iniquities :  and 
let  them  measure  the  ||  pattern. 

11  And  if  they  be  ashamed  of  all  that  they  have  done, 
shew  them  the  form  of  the  house,  and  the  fashion  thereof, 
and  the  goings  out  thereof,  and  the  comings  in  thereof,  and 
ail  the  forms  thereof,  and  all  the  ordinances  thereof,  and 
all  the  forms  thereof,  and  all  the  laws  thereof:  and  M'rite  it 
in  their  sight,  that  they  may  keep  the  whole  form  thereof, 
and  all  the  ordinances  thereof,  and  do  them. 

12  This  is  the  law  of  the  house;  Upon  ""the  top  of  the 
mountain  the  whole  limit  thereof  round  about  shall  be  most 
holy.     Behold,  this  is  the  law  of  the  house. 

13  ^And  these  are  the  measures  of  the  altar  after  the 
cubits:  "The  cubit  is  a  cubit  and  a  handbreadth;  even 
the  fbottom  shall  be  a  cubit,  and  the  breadth  a  cubit,  and 
the  border  thereof  by  the  fedge  thereof  round  about  shall 
be  a  span ;  and  this  shall  be  the  higher  place  of  the  altar. 

14  And  from  the  bottom  upon  the  ground  even  to  the 
lower  settle  shall  be  two  cubits,  and  the  breadth  one  cubit ; 
and  from  the  lesser  settle  even  to  the  greater  se**l«  shall  be 
four  cubits,  and  the  breadth  one  cubit. 

15  So  fthe  altar  shall  be  four  cubits:  and  from  fthe  alt:xr 
and  upward  shall  be  four  horns. 

16  And  the  altar  sAoW  be  twelve  cubits  long,  twelve  broad, 
square  in  the  four  squares  thereof. 

17  And  the  settle  shall  be  fourteen  cubits  long,  and  four- 
teen broad  in  the  four  squares  thereof;  and  the  border  about 
it  shall  be  half  a  cubit ;  and  the  bottom  thereof  shall  be  a 
cubit  about;  and  'his  stairs  shall  look  toward  the  east. 

18  ^And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  These  are  the  ordinances  of  the  altar  in  the  day 
when  they  shall  make  it,  to  offer  burnt  offerings  thereon, 
and  to  "sprinkle  blood  thereon. 

19  And  thou  shalt  give  to  'the  priests  the  Le'vites  that  be  of 
the  seed  of  Za'dok,  which  approach  unto  me,  to  minister  uuto 
me,  saith  the  Lord  God,  "a  young  bullock  for  a  sin  offering. 

20  And  thou  shalt  take  of  the  blood  thereof,  and  put  it  on 
the  four  horns  of  it,  and  on  the  four  corners  of  the  settle, 
and  upon  the  border  round  about :  thus  shalt  thou  cleanse 
and  purge  it. 

21  Thou  shalt  take  the  bullock  also  of  the  sin  offering,  and 
he  ''shall  burn  it  in  the  appointed  place  of  the  house,  'with- 
out the  sanctuary. 

22  And  on  the  second  day  thou  shalt  offer  a  kid  of  the 
goats  without  blemish  for  a  sin  offering;  and  they  shall 
cleanse  the  altar,  as  they  did  cleange  it  with  the  bullock. 

2.3  When  thou  ha.st  made  an  end  of  cleansing  it,  thou  shalt 
offer  a  young  bullock  without  blemish,  and  a  ram  out  of  the 
flock  without  blemish. 

24  And  thou  shalt  offer  them  before  the  Lord,  •'and  the 
priests  shall  cast  .salt  upon  them,  and  they  shall  offer  them 
up /or  a  burnt  offering  unto  the  LoKD. 


6  And  I  heard  one  speaking  unto  me  out  of  the  house ; 

7  and  a  man  stood  by  me.  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son 
of  man,  this  is  the  place  of  my  throne,  and  the  place 
of  the  soles  of  my  feet,  where  I  will  dwell  in  the 
midst  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  for  ever :  and  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  no  more  defile  my  holy  name,  neither 
they,  nor  their  kings,  by  their  whoredom,  and  by  the 

8  carcasses  of  their  kings  Hn  their  high  places;  in  their 
setting  of  their  threshold  by  my  threshold,  and  their 
door  post  beside  my  door  post,  and  there  was  6^' 
the  wall  between  me  and  them ;  and  they  have  de- 
filed my  holy  name  by  their  abominations  which  they 
have   committed:  wherefore  I  have  consumed  them 

9  in  mine  anger.  Now  let  them  put  away  their  whore- 
dom, and  the  carcases  of  their  kings,  far  from  me, 
and  I  will  dwell  in  the  midst  of  them  for  ever. 

10  Thou,  son  of  man,  shew  the  house  to  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el,  that  they  may  be  ashamed  of  their  iniquities: 

Hand  let  them  measure  the  ^pattern.  And  if  they  be 
ashamed  of  all  that  they  have  done,  make  known  unto 
them  the  form  of  the  house, and  the  fashion  thereof,  and 
the  goings  out  thereof,  and  the  comings  in  thereof,  and 
all  the  forms  thereof,and  all  the  ordinances  thereof,  and 
all  the  forms  thereof,  and  all  the  laws  thereof,  and  write 
it  in  their  sight :  that  they  may  keep  the  whole  form 
thereof,  and  all  the  ordinances  thereof,  and  do  them. 

12 This  is  the  law  of  the  house:  upon  the  top  of  the 
mountain  the  whole  limit  thereof  round  about  shall 
be  most  holy.     Behold,  this  is  the  law  of  the  house. 

13  And  these  are  the  measures  of  the  altar  by  cubits: 
(the  cubit  is  a  cubit  and  an  handbreadth :)  the  ^bot- 
tom shall  be  a  cubit,  and  the  breadth  a  cubit,  and  the 
border  thereof  by   the   edge  thereof  rouad  about  a 

14  span  :  and  this  shall  be  the  *base  of  the  altar.  And 
from  the  bottom  ''upon  the  ground  to  the  lower  ^settle 
shall  be  two  cubits,  and  the  breadth  one  cubit ;  and 
from  the  lesser  settle  to  the  greater  settle  shall  be  four 

15  cubits,  and  the  breadth  a  cubit.  And  the  dipper 
altar  shall  be  four  cubits ;  and  from  the  *altar  hearth 

16  and  upward  there  shall  be  four  horns.  And  the  altar 
hearth  shall  be  twelve   cubits  long  by  twelve  broad, 

17  square  in  the  four  sides  thereof.  And  the  settle  shall 
be  fourteen  cubits  long  by  fourteen  broad  in  the  four 
sides  thereof;  and  the  border  about  it  shall  be  half  a 
cubit ;  and  the  bottom  thereof  shall  be  a  cubit  about; 
and  the  steps  thereof  shall  look  toward  the  east. 

18  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God:  These  are  the  ordinances  of  the  altar 
in  the  day  when  they  shall  make  it,  to  offer  burnt 
offerings   thereon,   and    to    sprinkle    blood  thereon. 

19  Thou  shalt  give  to  the  priests  the  Le'vites  that  be  of 
the  seed  of  25a'dok,  which  are  near  unto  me,  to 
minister  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord  God,  a  young  bul- 

20  lock  for  a  sin  offering.  And  thou  shalt  take  of  the 
blood  thereof,  and  put  it  on  the  four  horns  of  it,  and 
on  the  four  corners  of  the  settle,  and  upon  the  bor- 
der  round   about :    thus  thalt  thou   cleanse    it  and 

21  make  atonement  for  it.  Thou  shalt  also  take  the 
bullock  of  the  sin  offering,  and  he  shall  burn  it  in 
the  appointed  place  of  the  house,  without  the  sanc- 

22  tuary.  And  on  the  second  day  thou  shalt  offer  a  he- 
goat  without  blemish  for  a  sin  offering;  and  they 
shall  cleanse  the  altar,  as  they  did  cleanse  it  with  the 

23  bullock.  When  thou  hast  made  an  end  of  cleansing 
it,  thou  shalt  offer  a  young  bullock  without  blemish, 

24  and  a  ram  out  of  the  flock  without  blemish.  And 
thou  shalt  bring  them  near  before  the  Lord,  and 
the  priests  shall  cast  salt  upon  them,  and  they  shall 
offer  them  up  for  a  burnt  offering  unto  the  Lord.

25  "Seven  days  shalt  thou  prepare  every  day  a  goat  for 
a  sin  offering:  they  shall  also  prepare  a  young  bullock,  and 
a  ram  out  of  the  flock,  without  blemish. 

26  Seven  days  shall  they  purge  the  altar  and  purify  it; 
and  they  shall  fconsecrate  themselves. 

27  ''And  when  these  days  are  expired,  it  shall  be,  that 
upon  the  eighth  day,  and  so  forward,  the  priests  shall  make 
your  burnt  offerings  upon  the  altar,  and  your  ||  peace  offer- 
ings :  and  I  will  'accept  you,  saitli  the  Lord  God. 

CHAPTER    XLIV. 

The  priests  reproved /or  poUuting  of  the  sanctuary. 

THEN  he  brought  me  back  the  way  of  the  gate  of  the 
outward  sanctuary  "which  looketh  toward  the  east ;  and 
it  was  shut. 

2  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me;  This  gate  shall  be  shut, 
it  shall  not  be  opened,  and  no  man  shall  enter  in  by  it; 
"■because  the  Lord  the  God  of  Is'ra-el  hath  entered  in  by  it, 
therefore  it  shall  be  shut. 

3  It  is  for  the  prince ;  the  2)rince,  he  shall  sit  in  it  to  "eat 
bread  before  the  Lord  ;  ''he  shall  enter  by  the  way  of  the 
porch  of  that  gate,  and  shall  go  out  by  the  way  of  the  same. 

4  ^Then  brought  he  me  the  way  of  the  north  gate  before 
the  house :  and  I  looked,  and,  'behold,  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
filled  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  -'and  I  fell  upon  my  lace. 

5  Andthe  Lord  said  unto  me,  "Son  of  mau,  fmark  well,  and 
behold  with  thine  eyes,  and  hear  with  thine  ears  all  that  I 
say  unto  thee  concerning  all  the  ordinances  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  all  the  laws  thereof;  and  mark  well  the  enter- 
ing in  of  the  house,  with  every  going  forth  of  the  sanctuary. 

6  And  thou  shalt  say  to  the  'rebellious,  even  to  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  O  ye  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
'let  it  suffice  you  of  all  your  abomination.s, 

7  *In  that  ye  have  brought  into  my  sanctuary  f'strangers, 
"'uncircumcised  in  heart,  and  uncircumcised  in  flesh,  to  be  in 
my  sanctuary,  to  pollute  it,  even  my  house,  when  ye  offer  "my 
bread,  "the  fat  and  the  blood,  and  they  have  broken  my 
covenant  because  of  all  your  abominations. 

8  And  ye  have  not  "kept  the  charge  of  mine  holy  things : 
but  ye  have  set  keepers  of  my  ||  charge  in  my  sanctuary  for 
yourselves. 

9  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  »No  stranger,  uncircumcised 
in  heart,  nor  uncircumcised  in  flesh,  shall  enter  into  my  sanc- 
tuary, of  any  stranger  that  is  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

10  ""And  the  Le'vites  that  are  gone  away  far  from  me,  when 
Is'ra-el  went  astray,  which  went  astray  away  from  me  after 
their  idols;  they  shall  even  bear  their  iniquity. 

11  Yet  they  shall  be  ministers  in  my  sanctuary,  'having 
charge  at  the  gates  of  the  house,  and  ministering  to  the 
house :  'they  shall  slay  the  burnt  offering  and  the  sacrifice 
for  the  people,  and  "they  shall  stand  before  them  to  minister 
unto  them. 

12  Because  they  ministered  unto  them  before  their  idols, 
and  "'fcau.sed  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  to  fall  into  iniquity;  there- 
fore have  I  "lifted  up  mine  hand  against  them,  saith  the  Lord 
God,  and  they  shall  bear  their  iniquity. 

13  "And  they  shall  not  come  near  unto  me,  to  do  the  office 
of  a  priest  unto  me,  nor  to  come  near  to  any  of  my  holy 
things,  in  the  most  holy  place:  but  they  shall  "bear  their 
shame,  and  their  abominations  which  they  have  committed. 

14  But  I  will  make  them  ''keepers  of  the  charge  of  the  house, 
for  all  the  service  thereof,  and  for  all  that  shall  be  done  therein. 

15  ^°But  the  priests  the  Le'vites,  ''the  sons  of  Za'dok, 
that  kept  the  charge  of  my  sanctuary  'when  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  went  astray  from  me,  they  shall  come  near  to  me 
to  minister  unto  me,  and  they  •'shall  stand  before  me  to  offer 
unto  me  "the  fat  and  the  blood,  saith  the  Lord  God  : 

16  They  shall  enter  into  my  sanctuary,  and  they  shall 
come  near  to  'my  table,  to  minister  unto  me,  and  they  shall 
keep  my  charge. 


25  Seven  days  shalt  thou  prepare  every  day  a  goat  for  a 
sin  offering :   they  shall  also  prepare  a  young  bullock, 

26  and  a  ram  out  of  the  flock,  without  blemish.  Seven 
days  shall  they  make  atonement  for  the  altar  and 

27  purify  it;  so  shall  they  'consecrate  it.    And  when  they 
have  accomplished  the  days,  it  shall  be  that  upon  the 
eighth  day,  and  forward,  the  priests  shall  make  your 
burnt  offerings  upon  the  altar,  and  your  peace  offer 
ings;  and  I  will  accept  you,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

^^  Then  he  brought  me  back  the  way  of  the  outer 
gate  of  the  sanctuary,  which  looketh  toward  the  east; 

2  and  it  was  shut.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  This 
gate  shall  be  shut,  it  shall  not  be  opened,  neither  shall 
any  man  enter  in  by  it,  for  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  hath  entered  in  by  it ;  therefore  it  shall  be  shut. 

3  As  for  the  prince,  he  shall  sit  therein  as  prince  to  eat 
bread  before  the  Lord  ;  he  shall  enter  by  the  way  of 
the  porch  of  the  gate,  and  shall  go  out  by  the  way  of 

4  the  same.  Then  he  brought  me  the  way  of  the  north 
gate  before  the  house ;  and  I  looked,  and  behold,  the 

flory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  and 
fell  upon  my  face.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Son  of  man,  ^mark  well,  and  behold  with  thine  eyes, 
and  hear  with  thine  ears  all  that  I  say  unto  thee  con- 
cerning all  the  ordinances  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  all  the  laws  thereof;  and  ^mark  well  the  entering 
in  of  the  house,  with  every  going  forth  of  the  sanc- 

6  tuary.  And  thou  shalt  say  to  the  rebellious,  even  to 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  GoD :  O  ye 
house  of  Is'ra-el,  let  it  suffice  you  of  all  your  abomi- 

7  nations,  in  that  ye  have  brought  in  aliens,  uncir- 
cumcised in  heart  and  uncircumcised  in  flesh,  to  be 
in  my  sanctuary,  to  profane  it,  even  my  bouse,  when 
ye  offer  my  bread,  the  fat  and  the  blood,  and  'they 
have  broken  my  covenant.  Ho    add   unto    all    your 

8  abominations..  And  ye  have  not  kept  the  charge 
of  mine  holy  things :  but  ye  have  set  keepers  of  my 

9  charge  in  my  sanctuary  for  yourselves.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  No  alien,  uncircumcised  in  heart 
and  uncircumcised  in  flesh,  shall  enter  into  my 
sanctuary,  of  any  alien  that  is  among  the  children 

10  of  Is'ra-el.  But  the  Le'vites  that  went  far  from  me, 
when  Is'ra-el  went  astray,  which  went  astray  from 
me  after  their  idols;  they  shall  bear  their  iniquity. 

1 1  Yet  they  shall  be  ministers  in  my  sanctuary,  having 
oversight  at  the  gates  of  the  house,  and  ministering 
in  the  house :  they  shall  slay  the  burnt  offering  and 
the  sacrifice  for  the  people,  and  they  shall  stand  before 

12  them  to  minister  unto  them.  Because  they  ministered 
unto  them  before  their  idols,  and  became  a  stumbling- 
block  of  iniquity  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el;  therefore 
have  I  lifted  up  mine  hand  against  them,  saith  the 

13  Lord  God,  and  they  shall  bear  their  iniquity.  And 
they  shall  not  come  near  unto  me,  to  execute  the 
office  of  priest  unto  me,  nor  to  come  near  to  any  of 
my  holy  things,  unto  the  things  that  are  most  holy : 
but  they  shall  bear  their  shame,  and  their  abomina- 

14tions  which  they  have  committed.  Yet  will  I  make 
them  keepers  of  the  charge  of  the  house,  for  all  the 
service  thereof,  and  for  all  that  shall  be  done  therein, 

15  But  the  priests  the  Le'vites,  the  sons  of  Za'dok, 
that  kept  the  charge  of  my  sanctuary  when  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  went  astray  from  me,  they  shall 
come- near  to  me  to  minister  unto  me;  and  they  shall 
stand  before  me  to  offer  unto  me  the  fat  and   the 

16 blood,  saith  the  Lord  God:  they  shall  enter  into  my 
sanctuary,  and  they  shall  come  near  to  my  table,  to 
minister  unto  me,  and  they  shall  keep  my  charge.

the  gates  of  the  inner  court,  "they  shall  be  clothed  with  linen 
garments ;  and  no  wool  shall  come  upon  them,  while  they 
minister  in  the  gates  of  the  inner  court,  and  within. 

18  *They  shall  hav6  linen  bonnets  upon  their  heads,  and 
shall  have  linen  breeches  upon  their  loins;  they  shall  not

19  And  when  they  go  forth  into  the  outer  court,  even  into 
the  outer  court  to  the  people,  'they  shall  put  off  their  gar- 
ments wherein  they  ministered,  and  lay  them  in  the  holy

shall  "not  sanctify  the  people  with  their  garments. 

20  "Neither  shall  they  shave  their  heads,  nor  suffer  their 
locks  to  grow  long;  they  shall  only  poll  their  heads. 

21  "Neither  shall  any  priest  drink  wine,  when  they  enter 
into  the  inner  court. 

22  Neither  shall  they  take  for  their  wives  a  "widow,  nor  her

23  And  "they  shall  teach  my  people  the  difference  between

The  portion  of  land /or  the  sanctuary, /or  the  city,  and /or  the  prince,  dfc. 

MOREOVER,  fwhen  ye  shall  "divide  by  lot  the  land  for  in- 
heritance, ye  shall  ''offer  an  oblation  unto  the  Lord,  fa  holy 
portion  of  the  land :  the  length  shall  be  the  length  of  five  and 
twenty  thousand  reeds,  and  the  breadth  shall  he  ten  thousand. 
This  shall  be  holy  in  all  the  borders  thereof  round  about. 

2  Of  this  there  shall  be  for  the  sanctuary  "five  hundred  in 
length,  with  five  hundred  in  breadth,  square  round  about; 
and  fifty  cubits  round  about  for  the  ||  suburbs  thereof. 

3  And  of  this  measure  shalt  thou  measure  the  length  of 
five  and  twenty  thousand,  and  the  breadth  often  thousand: 
''and  in  it  shall  be  the  sanctuary  and  the  most  holy  place. 

4  'The  holy  portion  of  the  land  shall  be  for  the  priests  the 
ministers  of  the  sanctuary,  which  shall  come  near  to 
minister  unto  the  Lord  :  and  it  shall  be  a  place  for  their 
houses,  and  a  holy  place  for  the  sanctuary. 

5  ■'^And  the  five  and  twenty  thousand  of  length,  and  the 
ten  thousand  of  breadth,  shall  also  the  Le'vites,  the 
ministers  of  the  house,  have  for  themselves,  for  a  posses- 
sion for  'twenty  chambers. 

6  ^*And  ye  shall  appoint  the  possession  of  the  city  five 


17  And  it  shall  be  that  when  they  enter  in  at  the  gates 
of  the  inner  court,  they  shall  be  clothed  with  linen 
garments ;  and  no  wool  shall  come  upon  them, 
whiles  they  minister  in  the  gates  of  the  inner  court, 

18  and  'within.  They  shall  have  linen  tires  upon  their 
heads,  and  shall  have  linen  breeches  upon  their  loins ; 
they  shall  not  gird  themselves  with  any  thing  that 

19  causeth  sweat.  And  when  they  go  forth  into  the  outer 
court,  even  into  the  outer  court  to  the  people,  they 
shall  put  off  their  garments  wherein  they  minister,  and 
lay  them  in  the  holy  chambers,  and  they  shall  put  on 
other  garments,  that  they  sanctify  not  the  people  with 

20  their  garments.  Neither  shall  they  shave  their  head.s, 
nor  suffer  their  locks  to  grow  long;  they  shall  only 

21  poll  their  heads.     Neither  shall  any   priest   drink 

22  wine,  when  they  enter  into  the  inner  court.  Neither 
shall  they  take  for  their  wives  a  widow,  nor  her  that 
is  put  away  :  but  they  shall  take  virgins  of  the  seed 
of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  or  a  widow  that  is  the  widow 

23  of  a  priest.  And  they  shall  teach  my  people  the 
difference  between  the  holy  and  the  common,  and 
cause  them  to  discern  between  the  unclean  and  the 

24  clean.  And  in  a  controversy  they  shall  stand  to  judge; 
according  to  my  judgements  shall  they  judge  it: 
and  they  shall  Jceep  my  laws  and  my  .statutes  in  all

27  unto  him  seven  days.  And  in  the  day  that  he  goeth 
into  the  sanctuary,  into  the  inner  court,  to  minister 
in  the  sanctuary,  he  shall  offer  his  sin  offering,  saith 

28  the  Lord  God.  And  they  shall  have  an  inheritance ; 
I  am  their  inheritance :    and  ye  shall  give  them  no 

29  possession  in  Is'ra-el ;  I  am  their  possession.  They 
shall  eat  the  meal  offering,  and  the  sin  offering, 
and  the  guilt  offering;    and  every  devoted  thing  in 

30  Is'ra-el  shall  be  theirs.  And  the  first  of  all  the  first- 
fruits  of  every  thing,  and  every  ^oblation  of  every 
thing,  of  all  your  oblations,  shall  be  for  the  priests : 
ye  shall  also  give  unto  the  priest  the  first  of  your 
'dough,  to  cause  a  blessing  to  rest  on  thine  house. 

31  The  priests  shall  not  eat  of  any  thing  that  dieth  of 
itself,  or  is  torn,  whether  it  be  fowl  or  beast. 

^0  Moreover,  when  ye  shall  divide  by  lot  the  land 
for  inheritance,  ye  shall  offer  an  oblation  unto  the 
Lord,  *an  holy  portion  of  the  land :  the  length 
shall  be  the  length  of  five  and  twenty  thousand 
reeds,  and  the  breadth  shall  be  "ten  thousand :  it 
shall  be  holy  in  all  the  border  thereof  round  about. 

2  Of  this  there  shall  be  for  the  holy  place  five  hun- 
dred in  length  by  five  hundred  in  breadth,  square 
round    about ;    and    fifty    cubits    for    the    ^suburbs 

3  thereof  round  about.  And  of  this  measure  shalt  thou 
measure,  a  length  of  five  and  twenty  thousand,  and  a 
breadth  of  ten  thousand  :  and  in  it  shall  be  the  sanc- 

4  tuary,  which  is  most  holy.  It  is  an  holy  portion  of  the 
land ;  it  shall  be  for  the  priests,  the  ministers  of  the 
sanctuary,  which  come  near  to  mini.ster  unto  the  Lord  ; 
and  it  shall  be  a  place  for  their  houses,  and  an  holy 

5  place  for  the  sanctuary.  And  five  and  twenty  thou- 
sand in  length,  and  ten  thousand  in  breadth,  shall  be 
unto  the  I-ie'vites,  the  ministers  of  the  house,  for  a 
possession   unto  themselves,  for  ^twenty  chambers. 

6  And  ye  shall  appoint  the  possession  of  the  city  five

whole  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  ^'And  a  portion  shall  be  for  the  prince  on  the  one  side

8  In  the  land  shall  be  his  possession  in  Is'ra-el :  and  *my 
princes  shall  no  more  oppress  my  people;  and  the  rest  of 
the  land  shall  they  give  to  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  according 
to  their  tribes. 

9  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  'Let  it  suffice  you,  O  princes 
of  Is'ra-el:  ""remove  violence  and  spoil,  and  execute  judg-

12  And  the  "shekel  shall  be  twenty  gerahs :  twenty  shekels,

13  This  is  the  oblation  that  ye  shall  oifer;  the  sixth  part

sixth  part  of  an  ephah  of  a  homer  of  barley ; 

14  Concerning  the  ordinance  of  oil,  the  bath  of  oil,  ye 
shall  offer  the  tenth  part  of  a  bath  out  of  the  cor,  which  is 
a  homer  of  ten  baths :  for  ten  baths  are  a  homer :

16  All  the  people  of  the  land  fshall  give  this  oblation 
II  for  the  prince  in  Is'ra-el. 

17  And  it  shall  be  the  prince's  part  to  givehurat  offerings,

first  day  of  the  month,  thou  shalt  take  a  young  bullock 
without  blemish,  and  'cleanse  the  sanctuary: 

19  'And  the  priest  shall  take  of  the  blood  of  the  sin 
offering,  and  put  it  upon  the  posts  of  the  house,  and  upon 
the  four  corners  of  the  settle  of  the  altar,  and  upon  the 
posts  of  the  gate  of  the  inner  court. 

20  And  so  thou  shalt  do  the  seventh  day  of  the  month

21  'In  the  first  month,  in  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  month, 
ye  shall  have  the  passover,  a  feast  of  seven  days ;  unleav-

23  And  "'seven  days  of  the  feast  he  shall  prepare  a  burnt

7  shall  be  for  the  whole  house  of  Is'ra-el.  KnAwhatsoever 
is  for  the  prince  shall  be  on  the  one  side  and  on  the 
other  side  of  the  holy  oblation  and  of  the  possession  of

execute  judgement  and  justice;  take  away  your 
^exactions  from   my   people,  saith   the   Lord   God. 

10  Ye  shall  have  just  balances,  and  a  just  ephah,  and  a

sixth  part  of  an  ephah  from  an  homer  of  wheat,  and 
ye  shall  give  the  sixth  part  of  an  ephah  from  an  homer 

14  of  barley :  and  the  set  portion  of  oil,  of  the  bath  of  oil, 
shall  be  the  tenth  part  of  a  bath  out  of  the  cor,  which  is 
ten  baths,  even  an  homer ;  for  ten  baths  are  an  homer: 

15  and  one  lamb  of  the  flock,  out  "of  two  hundred,  from 
the  'fat  pastures  of  Is'ra-el ;  for  a  meal  offering,  and 
for  a  burnt  offering,  and  for  peace  offerings,  to  make 

16  atonement  for  them,  saith  the  Lord  God.  All  the 
people  of  the  land  *shall  give  unto  this  oblation  for 

17  the  prince  in  Is'ra-el.  And  it  shall  be  the  prince's 
part  to  give  the  burnt  offerings,  and  the  meal  offer- 
ings, and  the  drink  offerings,  in  the  feasts,  and  in 
the  new  moons,  and  in  the  sabbaths,  in  all  the  ap- 
pointed feasts  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el :  he  shall  pre- 
pare the  sin  offering,  and  the  meal  offering,  and  the 
burnt  offering,  and  the  peace  offerings,  to  make 
atonement  for  the  house  of  Is'ra-el.

the  first  day  of  the  month,  thou  shalt  take  a  young 
bullock  without  blemish  ;  and  thou  shalt  cleanse  the 

19  sanctuary.  And  the  priests  shall  take  of  the  blood 
of  the  sin  offering,  and  put  it  upon  the  door  posts 
of  the  house,  and  upon  the  four  corners  of  the 
'settle  of  the  altar,  and  upon  the  posts  of  the  gate 

20  of  the  inner  court.  And  so  thou  shalt  do  "on  the 
seventh  day  of  the  month  for  every  one  that  erreth,

21  ment  for  the  house.  In  the  first  month,  in  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  month,  ye  shall  have  the

Ordinances  for  the  prince  in  his  worship,  and  for  the  people. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord  God;  The  gate  of  the  inner  court 
that  looketh  toward  the  east,  shall  be  shut  the  six  work- 
ing days;  but  on  the  sabbath  it  shall  be  opened,  and  in  the 
day  of  the  new  moon  it  shall  be  opened. 

2  "And  the  prince  shall  enter  by  the  way  of  the  porch  of 
that  gate  without,  and  shall  stand  by  the  post  of  the  gate, 
and  the  priests  shall  prepare  his  burnt  oiFering  and  his 
peace  oiFerings,  and  he  shall  worship  at  the  threshold  of 
the  gate :  then  he  shall  go  forth ;  but  the  gate  shall  not  be 
shut  until  the  evening. 

3  Likewise  the  people  of  the  land  shall  worship  at  the 
door  of  this  gate  before  the  Loed  in  the  sabbaths  and  in 
the  new  moons. 

4  And  the  burnt  offering  that  'the  prince  shall  offer  unto 
the  Lord  in  the  sabbath  day  shall  be  six  lambs  without 
blemish,  and  a  ram  without  blemish. 

5  "And  the  meat  offering  shall  be  an  ephah  for  a  ram,  and 
the  meat  offering  for  the  lambs  fas  he  shall  be  able  to  give, 
and  a  hin  of  oil  to  an  ephah. 

6  And  in  the  day  of  the  new  moon  it  shall  be  a  young  bul- 
lock without  blemish,  and  six  lambs,  and  a  ram :  they  shall 
be  without  blemish. 

7  And  he  shall  prepare  a  meat  offering,  an  ephah  for  a 
bullock,  and  an  ephah  for  a  ram,  and  for  the  lambs  according 
as  his  hand  shall  attain  unto,  and  a  hin  of  oil  to  an  ephah. 

8  ''And  when  the  prince  shall  enter,  he  shall  go  in  by  the 
way  of  the  porch  of  that  gate,  and  he  shall  go  forth  by  the 
way  thereof. 

9  *rBut  when  the  people  of  the  land  'shall  come  before 
the  Lord  in  the  solemn  feasts,  he  that  entereth  in  by  the 
way  of  the  north  gate  to  worship,  shall  go  out  by  the  way 
of  the  south  gate ;  and  he  that  entereth  by  the  way  of  the 
south  gate,  shall  go  forth  by  the  way  of  the  north  gate :  he 
shall  not  return  by  the  way  of  the  gate  whereby  he  came  in, 
but  shall  go  forth  over  against  it. 

10  And  the  prince  in  the  midst  of  them,  when  they  go  in, 
shall  go  in  ;  and  when  they  go  forth,  shall  go  forth. 

1 1  And  in  the  feasts  and  in  the  solemnities  •'the  meat  offering 
shall  be  an  ephah  to  a  bullock,  and  an  ephah  to  a  ram,  and  to 
the  lambs  as  ne  is  able  to  give,  and  a  hin  of  oil  to  an  ephah. 

12  Now  when  the  prince  shall  prepare  a  voluntary  burnt 
offering  or  peace  offerings  voluntarily  unto  the  Lord,  'one 
shall  then  open  him  the  gate  that  looketh  toward  the  east, 
and  he  shall  prepare  his  burnt  offering  and  his  peace  offer- 
ings, as  he  did  on  the  sabbath  day :  then  he  shall  go  forth ; 
and  after  his  going  forth  one  shall  shut  the  gate. 

13  *Thou  shalt  daily  prepare  a  burnt  offering  unto  the 
Lord  of  a  lamb  fwf  the  first  year  without  blemish:  thou 
shalt  prepare  it  fevery  morning. 

14  And  thou  shalt  prepare  a  meat  offering  for  it  every 
morning,  the  sixth  part  of  an  ephah,  and  the  third  part  of 
a  hin  of  oil,  to  temper  with  the  fine  flour;  a  meat  offering 
continually  by  a  perpetual  ordinance  unto  the  Lord. 

15  Thus  shall  they  prepare  the  lamb,  and  the  meat  offering, 
and  the  oil,  every  morning/or  a  continual  burnt  offering. 

16  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  If  the  prince  give  a  gift 
unto  any  of  his  sons,  the  inheritance  thereof  shall  be  his 
sons' ;  it  shall  be  their  jwssession  by  inheritance. 

17  But  if  he  give  a  gift  of  his  inheritance  to  one  of  his 
servants,  then  it  shall  be  his  to  'the  year  of  liberty  ;  after,  it 
shall  return  to  the  prince :  but  his  inheritance  shall  be  his 
sons'  for  them. 

18  Moreover  *the  prince  shall  not  take  of  the  people's  in- 
heritance by  oppression,  to  thrust  them  out  of  their  posses- 
sion ;  but  he  shall  give  his  sons  inheritance  out  of  his  own 
possession;  that  my  people  be  not  scattered  every  man 
from  his  possession. 


^O  Thus  saith  the  Lord  GrOD :  the  gate  of  the  inner 
court  that  looketh  toward  the  east  shall  be  shut  the 
six  working  days;  but  on  the  sabbath  day  it  shall 
be  opened,  and  in  the  day  of  the  new  moon  it  shall 

2  be  opened.  And  the  prince  shall  enter  by  the  way 
of  the  porch  of  the  gate  without,  and  shall  stand  by 
the  post  of  the  gate,  and  the  priests  shall  prepare 
his  burnt  offering  and  his  peace  offerings,  and  he 
shall  worship  at  the  threshold  of  the  gate;  then  he 
shall  go  forth :    but  the  gate  shall  not  be  shut  until 

3  the  evening.  And  the  people  of  the  land  shall 
worship  at  the  door  of  that  gate  before  the  Lord  in 

4  the  sabbaths  and  in  the  new  moons.  And  the  burnt 
offering  that  the  prince  shall  offer  unto  the  Lord 
shall    be    in    the    sabbath    day    six    lambs    without 

5  blemish  and  a  ram  without  .blemish  ;  and  the  meal 
offering  shall  be  an  ephah  for  the  ram,  and  the  meal 
offering  for  the  lambs  as  he  is  able  to  give,  and  an 

6  hin  of  oil  to  an  ephah.  And  in  the  day  of  the  new 
moon  it  shall  be  a  young  bullock  without  blemish; 
and  six  lambs,  and  a  ram;  they  shall   be   without 

7  blemish :  and  he  shall  prepare  a  meal  offering,  an 
ephah  for  the  bullock,  and  an  ephah  for  the  ram, 
and  for  the  lambs  according  as  'he  is  able,  and  an 

8  hin  of  oil  to  an  ephah.  And  when  the  prince  shall 
enter,  he  shall  go  in  by  the  way  of  the  porch  of  the 

9  gate,  and  he  shall  go  forth  by  the  way  thereof  But 
when  the  people  of  the  land  shall,  come  before  the 
Lord  in  the  appointed  feasts,  he  that  entereth  by 
the  way  of  the  north  gate  to  worship  shall  go  forth 
by  the  way  of  the  south  gate;  and  he  that  entereth 
by  the  way  of  the  south  gate  shall  go  forth  by  the 
way  of  the  north  gate:  he  shall  not  return  by  the 
way  of  the  gate  whereby  he  came  in,  but  shall  go 

10  forth  straight  before  him.  And  the  prince,  when  they 
go  in,  shall  go  in  in  the  midst  of  them;    and  when 

11  they  go  forth,  Hhey  shall  go  forth  together.  And  in 
the  feasts  and  in  the  'solemnities  the  meal  offering 
shall  be  an  ephah  for  a  bullock,  and  an  ephah  for  a 
ram,  and  for  the  lambs  as  he  is  able  to  give,  and  an 

12  hin  of  oil  to  an  ephah.  And  when  the  prince  shall 
prepare  a  freewill  offering,  a  burnt  offering  or  peace 
offerings  as  a  freewill  offering  unto  the  Lord,  one  shall 
open  for  him  the  gate  that  looketh  toward  the  east,  and 
he  shall  prepare  his  burnt  offering  and  his  peace  offer- 
ings, as  he  doth  on  the  sabbath  day :  then  he  shall  go 
forth ;  and  after  his  going  forth  one  shall  shut  the  gate 

13  And  thou  shalt  prepare  a  lamb  of  the  first  year  with- 
out blemish  for  a  burnt  offering  unto  the  Lord  daily : 

14  morning  by  morning  shalt  thou  prepare  it.  And 
thou  shalt  prepare  a  meal  offering  with  it  morning 
by  morning,  the  sixth  part  of  an  ephah,  and  the 
third  part  of  an  hin  of  oil,  to  ^moisten  the  fine  flour; 
a  meal  offering  unto  the  Lord  continually  by  a  per- 

16  petual  ordinance.  Thus  shall  they  prepare  the  lamb, 
and  the  meal  offering,  and  the  oil,  morning  by  morn- 
ing, for  a  continual  burnt  offering. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  If  the  prince  give  a  gift 
unto  any  of  his  sons,  it  is  his  inheritance,  it  shall 
belong  tohissons;  it  is  their  possession  by  inheritance. 

17  But  if  he  give  of  his  inheritance  a  gift  to  one  of  his 
servants,  it  shall  be  his  to  the  year  of  liberty;  then 
it  shall  return  to  the  prince ;  but  as  for  his  inherit- 

18ance,  it  shall  be  for  his  sons.  Moreover  the  prince 
shall  not  take  of  the  people's  inheritance,  to  "thrust 
them  out  of  their  possession ;  he  shall  give  inheritance 
to  his  sons  out  of  his  own  possession :  that  my  peo- 
ple be  not  scattered  every  man  from  his  possession.!

19  "[[After  he  brought  me  through  the  entry,  which  was 
at  the  side  of  the  gate,  into  the  holy  chambers  of  the  priests, 
which  looked  toward  the  north:  and,  behold,  there  was  a 
place  on  the  two  sides  westward. 

20  Then  .said  he  unto  me.  This  is  the  place  where  the 
priests  shall  'boil  the  trespass  offering  and  the  sin  offering, 
where  they  shall  ""bake  the  meat  offering;  that  they  bear 
them  not  out  into  the  outer  court,  "to  sanctify  the  people. 

21  Then  he  brought  me  forth  into  the  outer  court,  and 
caused  me  to  pass  by  the  four  corners  of  the  court ;  and, 
behold,  fin  every  corner  of  the  court  there  was  a  court. 

22  In  the  four  corners  of  the  court  there  were  courts  ||  joined 
of  forty  cubits  long  and  thirty  broad :  these  four  f  corners 
were  of  one  measure. 

23  And  there  was  a  row  of  building  round  about  in  them, 
round  about  them  four,  and  it  was  made  with  boiling 
places  under  the  rows  round  about. 

24  Then  said  he  unto  me.  These  are  the  places  of  them 
that  boil,  where  the  ministers  of  the  house  shall  "boil  the 
sacrifice  of  the  people. 

CHAPTER     XLVII. 

The  vision  of  the  holy  waters  ;  the  virtue  of  them. 

AFTERWARD  he  brought  me  again  unto  the  door  of 
the  house;  and,  behold,  "waters  issued  out  from  under 
the  threshold  of  the  house  eastward :  for  the  forefront  of 
the  house  stood  toward  the  east,  and  the  waters  came  down 
from  under,  from  the  right  side  of  the  house,  at  the  south 
side  of  the  altar. 

2  Then  brought  he  me  out  of  the  way  of  the  gate  north- 
ward, and  led  me  about  the  way  without  unto  the  outer 
gate  by  the  way  that  looketh  eastward ;  and,  behold,  there 
ran  out  waters  on  the  right  side. 

3  And  when  Hhe  man  that  had  the  line  in  his  hand  went 
forth  eastward,  he  measured  a  thousand  cubits,  and  he 
brought  me  through  the  waters;  the  fwaters  were  to  the 
ankles. 

4  Again  he  measured  a  thousand,  and  brought  me  through 
the  waters;  the  waters  were  to  the  knees.  Again  he 
measured  a  thousand,  and  brought  me  through ;  the  waters 
were  to  the  loins. 

5  Afterward  he  measured  a  thousand ;  and  it  was  a  river 
that  I  could  not  pass  over:  for  the  waters  were  risen, 
fwaters  to  swim  in,  a  river  that  could  not  be  passed  over. 

6  ^[And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of  man,  hast  thou  seen 
this  f  Then  he  brought  me,  and  caused  me  to  return  to  the 
brink  of  the  river. 

7  Now,  when  I  had  returned,  behold,  at  the  fbank  of  the 
river  were  very  many  trees  on  the  one  side  and  on  the 
other. 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me.  These  waters  issue  out  toward 
the  east  country,  and  go  down  into  the  ||  desert,  and  go 
into  the  sea:  whioh  being  brought  forth  into  the  sea,  the 
waters  shall  be  healed. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every  thing  that  liveth, 
which  moveth,  whithersoever  the  frivers  shall  come,  shall 
live :  and  there  shall  be  a  very  great  multitude  of  fish,  be- 
cause these  waters  shall  come  thither:  for  they  shall  be 
healed;  and  every  thing  shall  live  whither  the  river 
Cometh. 

10  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the  fishers  shall  stand 
upon  it  from  En-ge'di  even  unto  En-eg-la'im ;  they  shall  be 
a  place  to  spread  forth  nets;  their  fish  shall  be  according  to 
their  kinds,  as  the  fish  ''of  the  great  sea,  exceeding  many. 

11  But  the  miry  places  thereof  and  the  marshes  thereof 
shall  not  be  healed ;  they  shall  be  given  to  salt. 

12  And  'by  the  river  upon  the  bank  thereof,  on  this  side 
and  on  that  side,  fshall  grow  all  trees  for  meat,  Avhose  leaf, 
shall  not  fade,  neither  shall  the  fruit  thereof  be  consumed : 
it  shall  bring  forth  |Jnew  fruit  according  to  his  months, 


19  Then  he  brought  me  through  the  entry,  which 
was  at  the  side  of  the  gate,  into  the  holy  chambers 
for  the  priests,  which  looked  toward  the  north :  ano 
behold,  there  was  a  place  on  the  hinder  part  west- 

20  ward.  And  he  said  unto  me.  This  is  the  place 
where  the  priests  shall  boil  the  guilt  offering  and  the 
sin  offering,  where  they  shall  bake  the  meal  offer- 
ing; that  they  bring  them  not  forth  into  the  outer 

21  court,  to  sanctify  the  people.  Then  he  brought  me 
forth  into  the  outer  court,  and  caused  me  to  pass  by 
the  four  corners  of  the  court ;  and  behold,  in  every 

22  corner  of  the  court  there  was  a  court.  In  the  four 
corners  of  the  court  there  were  courts  'inclosed, 
forty  cubits  long  and  thirty  broad :  these  four  in  the 

23  corners  were  of  one  measure.  And  there  was  a  row 
of  building  round  about  in  them,  round  about  the 
four,  and   it   was  made  with    boiling  places  under 

24  the  rows  round  about.  Then  he  said  unto  me.  These 
are  the  boiling  houses,  where  the  ministers  of  the 
house  shall  boil  the  sacrifice  of  the  people. 

*/    And  he  brought  me  back  unto  the  door  of  the 
house ;  and  behold,  waters  issued   out   from   under 
the  threshold  of  the  house  eastward,  for  the  fore 
front  of  the    house   was  toward  the   ea.st:  and  the 
waters  came  down  from  under,  from  the  right  side 

2  of  the  house,  on  the  south  of  the  altar.  Then 
brought  he  me  out  by  the  way  of  the  gate  north- 
ward, and  led  me  round  by  the  way  without  unto 
the  outer  gate,  by  the  way  of  the  gate  that  looketh 
toward  the  east;  and  behold,  there  ^ran  out  waters 

3  on  the  right  side.  When  the  man  went  forth  east- 
ward with  the  line  in  his  hand,  he  measured  a 
thousand  cubits,  and  he  caused  me  to  pass  through 

4  the  waters,  waters  that  were  to  the  ankles.  Again 
he  measured  a  thousand,  and  caused  me  to  pass 
through  the  waters,  waters  that  were  to  the  knees. 
Again  he  measured  a  thousand,  and  caused  me  to 
pass  through   the  waters,  waters   that   were   to   the 

5 loins.  Afterward  he  measured  a  thousand;  and  it 
was  a  river  that  I  could  not  pass  through:  for  the 
waters  were  risen,  waters  to   swim  in,  a  river  that 

6  could  not  be  passed  through.  And  he  said  unto  me. 
Son  of  man,  hast  thou  seen  this?  Then  he  brought 
me,  and   caused   me  to   return    to  the  bank  of  the 

7  river.  Now  when  I  had  returned,  behold,  upon  the 
bank  of  the  river  were  very  many  trees  on  the  one 

8  side  and  on  the  other.  Then  said  he  unto  me.  These 
waters  issue  forth  toward  the  eastern  region,  and 
shall  go  down  into  the  Ar'a-bah :  and  they  shall  go 
toward  the  sea;  into  the  sea  shall  the  waters  go 
which   were    made   to   issue   forth;   and   the  waters 

9  shall  be  healed.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
every  living  creature  which  swarmeth,  in  every 
place  whither  the  'rivers  come,  shall  live;  and  there 
shall  be  a  very  great  multitude  of  fish :  for  these 
waters  are  come  thither,  ''and  the  waters  of  the  sea 
shall  be  healed,  and  every  thing  shall  live  whither- 

10  soever  the  river  cometh.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  fishers  shall  stand  by  it :  from  En-ge'di  even 
unto  En-eg-la'im  shall  be  a  place  for  the  spreading 
of  nets ;  their  fish  shall  be  after  their  kinds,  as  the 

11  fish  of  the  great  sea,  exceeding  many.  But  the  miry 
places  thereof,  and  the  marishes  thereof,  shall  not 

12  be  healed;  they  shall  be  "given  up  to  salt.  And  by 
the  river  upon  the  bank  thereof,  on  this  side  and 
on  that  side,  shall  grow  every  tree  for  meat,  whose 
leaf  shall  not  wither,  neither  shall  the  fruit  thereof 
fail:   it   shall   bring  forth  'new   fruit  every  month.

13  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  This  shall  be  the  border, 
whereby  ye  shall  inherit  the  land  according  to  the  twelve 
tribes  of  Is'ra-el :  *Jo'seph  shall  have  two  portions. 

14  And  ye  shall  inherit  it,  one  as  well  as  another:  concern- 
ing the  which  I  || 'lifted  up  mine  hand  to  give  it  unto  your 
fathers:  and  this  land  shall  *fall  unto  you  for  inheritance. 

15  And  this  shall  be  the  border  of  the  land  toward  the 
north  side,  from  the  great  sea,  'the  way  of  Heth'lon,  as  men 
go  to  "Ze'dad ;

border  of  Da-mas'cus,  and  the  north  northward,  and  the 
border  of  Ha'math.     And  this  is  the  north  side. 

18  And  the  east  side  ye  shall  measure  ffrom  Hau'ran,  and 
from  Da-mas'cus,  and  from  Gil'e-ad,  and  from  the  land  of 
Is'ra-el  by  Jor'dan  from  the  border  unto  the  east  sea.  And 
this  is  the  east  side. 

19  And  the  south  side  southward,  from  Ta'mar  even  to

22  '^And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  ye  shall  divide  it  by

because  the  waters  thereof  issue  out  of  the  sanc-

ance   according   to    the    twelve    tribes    of  Is'ra-el:

15  this  land  shall  fall  unto  you  for  inheritance.  And

side,  from  the  great  sea,  by  the  way  of  Heth'lon, 

16  unto  the  entering  in  of  Ze'dad ;  Ha'math,  Be-ro'thah,

17  is  by  the  border  of  Hau'ran.  And  the  border  from 
the  sea  shall  be  Ha-zar-e'non  at  the  border  of  Da-mas'- 
cus, and  on  the   north  northward   is  the  border  of 

18  Ha'math.  This  is  the  north  side.  And  the  east

and  the  land  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  be  Jor'dan ;  from  the 
north  border  unto  the   east  sea  shall  ye  measure. 

19  This  is  the  east  side.  And  the  south  side  south- 
ward shall  be  from  Ta'mar  as  far  as  the  waters  of

this  land  unto  you  according  to  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el. 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  ye  shall  divide  it  by 
lot  for  an  inheritance  unto  you  and  to  the  strangers 
that  sojourn  among  you,  which  shall  beget  children 
among  you;  and  they  shall  be  unto  you  as  the 
homeborn  among  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  they  shall 
have    inheritance   with   you   among  the    tribes   of 

23  Is'ra-el.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  what 
tribe  the  stranger  sojourneth,  there  shall  ye  give  him 
his  inheritance,  saith  the  Lord  GoD.

CHAF'TER    I. 

Ashpenaz  taketh  Daniel,  Hananiah,  Mishael,  and  Atariah, 

IN  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of 
Ju'dah  "came  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  kingof  Bab'y-lon  unto 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  besieged  it. 

2  And  the  Lord  gave  Je-hoi'a-kim  king  of  Ju'dah  into  his 
hand,  with  'part  of  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  God  :  which 
he  carried  'into  the  land  ofShi'nar  to  the  house  of  his  god;  ''and 
he  brought  the  vessels  into  the  treasure  house  of  his  god. 

3  ^And  the  king  spake  unto  Ash'pe-naz  the  master  of  his 
eunuchs,  that  he  should  bring  *certain  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  of  the  king's  seed,  and  of  the  princes ; 

4  Children  'in  whom  was  no  blemish,  but  well  favoured, 
and  skilful  in  all  wisdom,  and  cunning  in  knowledge,  and 
understanding  science,  and  such  as  had  ability  in  them  to 
stand  in  the  king's  palace,  and  Avhom  they  might  teach  the 
learning  and  the  tongue  of  the  Chal-de'ans. 

5  And  the  king  appointed  them  a  daily  provision  of  the 
king's  meat,  and  of  fthe  wine  which  he  drank :  so  nourish- 
ing them  three  years,  that  at  the  end  thereof  they  might 
"stand  before  the  king. 

6  Now  among  these  were  of  the  children  of  Ju'dah, 
Dan'iel,  Han-a-ni'ah,  Mish'a-el,  and  Az-a-ri'ah  : 

7  'Unto  whom  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs  gave  names :  %r 
he  gave  unto  Dan'iel  the  name  of  Bel-te-shaz'zar ;  and  to 
Hau-a-ni'ah,  of  Shad'rach  ;  and  to  Mish'a-el,  of  Me'shach ; 
and  to  Az-a-ri'ah,  of  A-bed'-ne-go. 

8  ^But  Dan'iel  purposed  in  his  heart  that  he  would  not 
defile  himself  *with  the  portion  of  the  king's  meat,  nor  with 
the  wine  which  he  drank:  therefore,  he  requested  of  the 
prince  of  the  eunuchs  that  he  might  not  defile  himself 

9  Now  'God  had  brought  Dan'iel  into  favour  and  tender 
love  with  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs. 

10  And  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs  said  unto  Dan'iel,  I  fear 
my  lord  the  king,  who  hath  appointed  your  meat  and  your 
drink  :  for  why  should  he  see  your  faces  fworse  liking  than 
the  children  which  are  of  your  ||8ort?  then  shall  ye  make 
me  endanger  my  head  to  the  king. 

11  Then  eaid  Dan'iel  to  ||  Mel'zar,  whom  the  prince  of  the 
eunuchs  had  set  over  Dan'iel,  Han-a-ni'ah,  Mish'a-el,  and 
Az-a-ri'ah, 

12  Prove  thy  servants,  I  beseech  thee,  ten  days;  and  let 
them  give  us  fpulse  fto  eat,  and  water  to  drink. 

13  Then  let  our  countenances  be  looked  upon  before  thee, 
and  the  countenance  of  the  children  that  eat  of  the  portion 
of  the  king's  meat :  and  as  thou  seest,  deal  with  thy  servants.

them    the    learning  and  the   tongue    of    the    Chal- 

5de'ans.  And  the  king  appointed  for  them  a  daily 
portion  of  the  king's  ^meat,  and  of  the  wine  which 
he  drank,  and  that  they  should  be  nourished  three 
years;    that  at  the   end   thereof  they    might  stand 

6  before  the  king.  Now  among  these  were  of  the 
children  of  Ju'dah, Dan'iel,  Han-a-ni'ah,Mish'a-cl, and 

7  Az-a-ri'ah.  And  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs  gave 
names  unto  them :  unto  Dan'iel  he  gave  the  name  of 
Bel-te-shaz'zar;  and  to  Han-a-ni'ah,  of  Shad'rach;  and  to 
Mish'a-el,  o/Me'shach;and  to  Az-a-ri'ah,  of  A-bed'-ne- 

8go.  But  Dan'iel  purposed  in  his  heart  that  he  would  not 
defile  himself  with  the  king's  meat,  nor  with  the  wine 
which  he  drank :  therefore  he  requested  of  the  prince 

9  of  the  eunuchs  that  he  might  not  defile  himself.  Now 
God  made  Dan'iel  to  find  favour  and  compassion  in 

10  the  sight  of  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs.  And  the 
prince  of  the  eunuchs  said  unto  Dan'iel,  I  fear  my 
lord  the  king,  who  hath  appointed  your  meat  and 
your  drink :  for  why  should  he  see  your  faces  worse 
liking  than  the  youths  which  are  of  your  own  age  ?  so 

11  should  ye  endanger  my  head  with  the  king.  Then 
said  Dan'iel  to  hhe  steward,  whom  the  prince  of 
the  eunuchs  had  appointed  over  Dan'iel,  Han-a-ni'ah, 

12 Mish'a-el,  and  Az-a-ri'ah:  Prove  thy  servants,  I 
beseech  thee,  ten  days ;  and  let  them  give  us  fpulse 

13  to  eat,  and  water  to  drink.  Then  let  our  coun- 
tenances be  looked  upon  before  thee,  and  the 
countenance  of  the  youths  that  eat  of  the  king's 
meat;   and  as  thou  seest,  deal  with  thy  servants.

them  ten  days. 

15  And  at  the  end  of  ten  days  their  countenances  ap- 
peared fairer  and  fatter  in  flesh  than  all  the  children  which 
did  eat*  the  portion  of  the  king's  meat.

the  wine  that  they  should  drink ;  and  gave  them  pulse.

had  "understanding  in  all  visions  and  dreams.

should  bring  them  in,  then  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs 
brought  them  in  before  Neb-u-ehad-nez'zar.

all  was  found  none  like  Dan'iel,  Han-a-ni'ah,  Mish'a-el,  and

CHAPTER    II. 

Nebuchadnezzar  forgftteth  his  dream — //  is  revealed  to  Daniel. 

AND  in  the  second  year  of  the  reign  of  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar, 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  dreamed    dreams,  "wherewith    his 
spirit  was  troubled,  and  *his  sleep  brake  from  him. 

2  "Then  the  king  commanded  to  call  the  magicians  and 
the  astrologers,  and  the  sorcerers,  and  the  Chal-de'ans,  for 
to  shew  the  king  his  dreams.  So  they  came  and  stood  be- 
fore the  king. 

3  And  the  king  said  unto  them,  I  have  dreamed  a  dream, 
and  my  spirit  was  troubled  to  know  the  dream. 

4  Then  spake  the  Chal-de'ans  to  the  king  in  Syr'i-ac,  ''O 
king,  live  for  ever :  tell  thy  servants  the  dream,  and  we  will 
shew  the  interpretation. 

6  The  king  answered  and  said  to  the  Chal-de'ans,  The  thing 
is  gone  from  me :  if  ye  will  not  make  known  unto  me  the 
dream,  with  the  interpretation  thereof,  ye  shall  be  'fcut  in 
pieces,  and  your  houses  shall  be  made  a  dunghill. 

6  •''But  if  ye  shew  the  dream,  and  the  interpretation  thereof, 
ye  shall  receive  of  me  gifts  and  ||  rewards  and  great  honour; 
therefore  shew  me  the  dream,  and  the  interpretation  thereof 

7  They  answered  again  and  said.  Let  the  king  tell  his 
servants  the  dream,  and  we  will  shew  the  interpretation  of  it. 

8  The  king  answered  and  said,  I  know  of  certainty  that 
ye  would  fgain  the  time,  because  ye  see  the  thing  is  gone 
from  me. 

9  But  if  ye  will  not  make  known  unto  me  the  dream, 
'there  is  but  one  decree  for  you :  for  ye  have  prepared 
lying  and  corrupt  words  to  speak  before  me,  till  the  time 
be  changed :  therefore  tell  me  the  dream,  and  I  shall  know 
that  ye  can  shew  me  the  interpretation  thereof. 

10  If  The  Chal-de'ans  answered  before  the  king,  and  said, 
There  is  not  a  man  upon  the  earth  that  can  shew  the  king's 
matter:  therefore  there  is  no  king,  lord,  nor  ruler,  that  asked 
such  things  at  any  magician,  or  astrologer,  or  Chal-de'an. 

11  And  it  is  a  rare  thing  that  the  king  requireth,  and  there 
is  none  other  that  can  shew  it  before  the  king,  'except  the 
gods,  whose  dwelling  is  not  with  flesh. 

12  For  this  cause  the  king  was  angry  and  very  furious, 
and  commanded  to  destroy  all  the  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon. 

13  And  the  decree  went  forth  that  the  wise  men  should  be 
slain  ;  and  they  sought  Dan'iel  and  his  fellows  to  be  slain. 

14  %Then  Dan'iel  fanswered  with  coun.sel  and  wisdom  to 
A'ri-och  the  Hfcaptain  of  the  king's  guard,  which  was  gone 
forth  to  slay  the  wise  men  of  "Bab'y-lon : 

15  He  answered  and  said  to  A'ri-och  the  king's  captain, 
Why  is  the  decree  so  hasty  from  the  king?  Then  A'ri-och 
made  the  thing  known  to  Dan'iel. 


14  So  he  hearkened  unto  them  in  this  matter,  and  proved 

15  them  ten  days.  And  at  the  end  of  ten  days  their 
countenances  appeared  fairer,  and  they  were  fatter 
in  flesh,  than  all  the  youths  which   did   eat  of  the 

16  king's  meat.  So  'the  steward  took  away  their 
meat,  and   the    wine   that   they   should   drink,  and 

17  gave  them  pulse.  Now  as  for  these  four  youths, 
God  gave  them  knowledge  and  skill  in  all  learning 
and  wisdom:  and  Dan'iel  had  understanding  in  all 

18  visions  and  dreams.  And  at  the  end  of  the  days 
which  the  king  had  ^aj>pointed  for  bringing  them 
in,  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs  brought  them  in  before 

19  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar.  And  the  king  communed 
with  them;  and  among  them  all  was  found  none 
like  Dan'iel,  Han-a-ni'ah,  Mish'a-el,  and  Az-a-ri'ah  : 

20  therefore  stood  they  before  the  king.  And  in 
every  matter  of  wisdom  and  understanding,  con- 
cerning which  the  king  inquired  of  them,  he  found 
them  ten  times  better  than   all  the  magicians  and 

21  enchanters  that  were  in  all  his  realm.  And  Dan'iel 
continued  even  unto  the  first  year  of  king  Cy'rus. 

'^  And  in  the  .second  year  of  the  reign  of  Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  dreamed  dreams ;  and  his 
spirit  was  troubled,  and  his  sleep  brake  from  him. 

2  Then  the  king  commanded  to  call  the  magicians, 
and  the  enchanters,  and  the  sorcerers,  and  the 
Chal-de'ans,  for  to  tell  the  king  his  dreams.     So  they 

3came  in  and  stood  before  the  king.  And  the  king 
said  unto  them,  I  have  dreamed   a  dream,  and  my 

4  spirit  is  troubled  to  know  the  dream.  Then  spake 
the  Chal-de'ans  to  the  king  'in  the  Syr'i-an  language, 
^O  king,  live  for  ever:  tellthy  servants  the  dream,  and 

5  we  will  shew  the  interpretation.  The  king  answered 
and  said  to  the  Chal-de'ans,  ^The  thing  is  gone  from 
me :  if  ye  make  not  known  unto  me  the  dream  and 
the  interpretation  thereof,  ye  shall  be  cut  in  pieces, 

6  and  your  houses  shall  be  made  a  dunghill.  But  if 
ye  shew  the  dream  aijd  the  interpretation  thereof, 
ye  shall  receive  of  me  gifts  and  rewards  and  great 
honour:  therefore  shew  me  the  dream  and  the  in- 

7  terpretation  thereof.  They  answered  the  second  time 
and  said.  Let  the  king  tell  his  servants  the  dream,  and 

8  we  will  shew  the  interpretation.  The  king  answered 
and  said,  I  know  of  a  certainty  that  ye  would  ^gain 

9  time,  because  ye  see  'the  thing  is  gone  from  me.  But 
if  ye  make  not  known  unto  me  the  dream,  there  is  but 
one  law  for  you:  for  ye  have  prepared  lying  and  corrupt 
words  to  speak  before  me,  till  the  time  be  changed : 
therefore  tell  me  the  dream,  and  I  shall  know  that  ye 

10 can  shew  me  the  interpretation  thereof.  The  Chal- 
de'ans  answered  before  the  king,  and  sa'd.  There  is 
jiot  a  man  upon  the  earth  that  can  shew  the  king's 
matter:  forasmuch  as  no  king,  *lord,  nor  ruler,  hath 
asked  such  a  thing  of  any  magician,  or  enchanter, 

11  or  Chal-de'an.  And  it  is  a  rare  thing  that  the  king 
requireth,  and  there  is  none  other  that  can  shew  it 
before  the  king,  except  the  gods,  whose  dwelling  is 

12  not  with  flesh.  For  this  cause  the  king  was  angry 
and  very  furious,  and  commanded  to  destroy  all  the 

13  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon.  So  the  decree  went  forth, 
and  the  wise  men  were  to  be  slain ;  and  they  sought 

14  Dan'iel  and  his  companions  to  be  slain.  Then 
Dan'iel  returned  answer  with  counsel  and  prudence 
to  A'ri-och  the  captain  of  the  king's  guard,  which 
was  gone  forth  to  slay  the  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon; 

16he  answered  and  said  to  A'ri-och  the  king's  captain. 
Wherefore  is  the  decree  so  urgent  from  the  king? 
Then  A'ri-och  made  the  thing  knovrn  to  Dan'iel.

16  Then  Dan'iel  went  in,  and  desired  of  the  king  that  he 
would  give  him  time,  and  that  he  would  shew  the  king  the 
interpretation. 

17  Then  Dan'iel  went  to  his  house  and  made  the  thing 
known  to  Han-a-ni'ah,Mish'a-el,and  Az-a-ri'ah,  his  companions: 

18  'That  they  would  desire  mercies  fof  the  God  of  heaven 
concerning  this  secret;  ||that  Dan'iel  and  his  fellows  should 
not  perish  with  the  rest  of  the  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon. 

19  ^Then  was  the  secret  revealed  unto  Dan'iel  *in  a  night 
vision.     Then  Dan'iel  blessed  the  God  of  heaven. 

20  Dan'iel  answered  and  said,  'Blessed  be  the  name  of 
God  for  ever  and  ever:  ""for  wisdom  and  might  are  his: 

21  And  he  change^h  "the  times  and  the  seasons:  "he  re- 
moveth  kings,  and  setteth  up  kings;  "he  giveth  wisdom 
unto  the  wise,  and  knowledge  to  them  that  know  under- 
standing : 

22  'He  revealeth  the  deep  and  secret  things :  'he  knoweth 
what  is  in  the  darkness,  and  'the  light  dwelleth  with  him. 

23  I  thank  thee,  and  praise  thee,  O  thou  God  of  my 
fathers,  who  hast  given  me  wisdom  and  might,  and  hast 
made  known  unto  me  now  what  we  'desired  of  thee :  for 
thou  hast  now  made  known  unto  us  the  king's  matter. 

24  ^Therefore  Dan'iel  went  in  unto  A'ri-och,  whom  the 
king  had  ordained  to  destroy  the  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon :  he 
went  and  said  thus  unto  him ;  Destroy  not  the  wise  men  of 
Bab'y-lon  :  bring  me  in  before  the  king,  and  I  will  shew  unto 
the  king  the  interpretation. 

25  Then  A'ri-och  brought  in  Dan'iel  before  the  king  in 
haste,  and  said  thus  unto  him,  fl  have  found  a  man  of  the 
fcaptives  of  Ju'dah,  that  will  make  known  unto  the  king  the 
interpretation. 

26  The  king  answered  and  said  to  Dan'iel,  whose  name 
was  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  Art  thou  able  to  make  known  unto 
me  the  dream  which  I  have  seen,  and  the  interpretation 
thereof? 

27  Dan'iel  answered  iq  the  presence  of  the  king,  and  said. 
The  secret  which  the  king  hath  demanded  cannot  the  wise 
men,  the  astrologers,  the  magicians,  the  soothsayers,  shew 
unto  the  king; 

28  "But  there  is  a  God  in  heaven  that  revealeth  secrets, 
and  fmaketh  known  to  the  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  'what 
shall  be  in  the  latter  days.  Thy  dream,  and  the  visions  of 
thy  head  upon  thy  bed,  are  these : 

29  As  for  thee,  O  king,  thy  thoughts  fcame  into  thy  mind 
upon  thy  bed,  what  should  come  to  pass  hereafter:  "and  he 
that  revealeth  secrets  maketh  known  to  thee  what  shall 
come  to  pass. 

30  "But  as  for  me,  this  secret  is  not  revealed  to  me  for  any 
wisdom  that  I  have  more  than  any  living,  ||but  for  their 
sakes  that  shall  make  known  the  interpretation  to  the  king, 
'and  that  thou  mightest  know  the  thoughts  of  thy  heart. 

31  ^Thou,  O  king,  fsawest,  and  behold  a  great  image. 
This  great  image,  whose  brightness  was  excellent,  stood 
before  thee ;  and  the  form  thereof  was  terrible. 

32  'This  image's  head  was  of  fine  gold,  his  breast  and  his 
arms  of  silver,  his  belly  and  his  ||  thighs  of  brass. 

33  His  legs  of  iron,  his  feet  part  of  iron  and  part  of  clay. 

34  Thou  sawest  till  that  a  stone  was  cut  out  ||  "without 
hands,  which  smote  the  image  upon  his  feet  that  were  of 
iron  and  clay,  and  brake  them  to  pieces. 

35  Then  was  the  iron,  the  clay,  the  brass,  the  silver,  and 
the  gold,  broken  to  pieces  together,  and  became  ''like  the 
chaff  of  the  summer  threshingfloors;  and  the  wind  car- 
ried them  away,  that  'no  place  was  found  for  them :  and  the 
stone  that  smote  the  image  •'became  a  great  mountain,  "and 
filled  the  whole  earth. 

36  ^This  is  the  dream ;  and  we  will  tell  the  interpretation 
thereof  before  the  king. 

37  *Thou,  O  king,  art  a  king  of  kings:  'for  the  God  of 


16  And  Dan'iel  went  in,  and  desired  of  the  king  that 
he  would  'appoint  him  a  time,  ^and  he  would  shew 
the  king  the  interpretation. 

17  Then  Dan'iel  went  to  his  house,  and  made 
the   thing   known   to   Han-a-ni'ah,   Mish'a-tl,    and 

18  Az-a-ri'ah,  his  companions :  that  they  would  desire 
mercies  of  the  God  of  heaven  concerning  this 
secret;  that  Dan'iel  and  his  companions  should  not 

?erish  with  the  rest  of  the  wise  men   of  Bab'y-lon. 
hen  was  the  secret  revealed  unto  Dan'iel  in  a  vision 
of  the  night.     Then    Dan'iel   blessed    the    God    of 

20  heaven.  Dan'iel  answered  and  said.  Blessed  be  the 
name  of  God  for  ever  and  ever:    for   wisdom  and 

21  might  are  his:  and  he  changeth  the  times  and  the 
seasons:  he  removeth  kings,  and  setteth  up  kings: 
he  giveth  wisdom  unto    the    wise,   and    knowledge 

22  to  them  that  know  understanding :  he  revealeth  the 
deep  and  secret  things:  he  knoweth  what  is  in  the 

23  darkness,  and  the  light  dwelleth  with  him.  I  thank 
thee,  and  praise  thee,  O  thou  God  of  my  fathers, 
who  hast  given  me  wisdom  and  might,  and  hast 
now  made  known  unto  me  what  we  desired  of  thee : 
for  thou  hast  made  known  unto  us  the  king's  matter. 

24  Therefore  Dan'iel  Avent  in  unto  A'ri-och,  whom  the 
king  had  appointed  to  destroy  the  wise  men  of  Bab'y- 
lon:  he  went  and  said  thus  untohim;  Destroy  not  the 
wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon :  bring  me  in  before  the  king, 
and  I  will  shew  unto  the  king  the  interpretation. 

25  Then  A'ri-och  brought  in  Dan'iel  before  the  king 
in  haste,  and  said  thus  unto  him,  I  have  found  a 
man  of  the  children  of  the  captivity  of  Ju'dah,  that 
will  make  known  unto  the  king  the    interpretation. 

26  The  king  answered  and  said  to  Dan'iel,  whose  name 
was  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  Art  thou  able  to  make  known 
unto  me  the  dream  which  I  have  seen,  and  the  in- 

27  terpretation  thereof?  Dan'iel  answered  before  the 
king,  and  said.  The  secret  which  the  king  hath  de- 
manded can  neither   wise    men,    enchanters,    magi- 

28cians,  nor  soothsayers,  shew  unto  the  king;  but 
there  is  a  God  in  heaven  that  revealeth  secrets,  and 
he  hath  made  known  to  the  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
what  shall  be  in  the  latter  days.  Thy  dream,  and 
the  visions  of  thy  head  upon  thy  bed,   are    these : 

29  as  for  thee,  O  king,  thy  thoughts  came  into  thy  mind 
upon  thy  bed,  what  should  come  to  pass  hereafter : 
and  he  that  revealeth  secrets  hath  made  known  to 

30  thee  what  shall  come  to  pass.  But  as  for  me,  this 
secret  is  not  revealed  to  me  for  any  wisdom  that  I 
have  more  than  any  living,  but  to  the  intent  that  the 
interpretation  may  be  made  known  to  the  king, 
and  that  thou  mayest   know   the   thoughts   of  thy 

31  heart.  Thou,  O  king,  sawest,  and  behold  a  great 
image.  This  image,  which  was  mighty,  and  whose 
brightness  was  excellent,  stood  before  thee;  and  the 

32  aspect  thereof  was  terrible.  As  for  this  image,  his 
head  was  of  fine  gold,  his  breast  and  his  arms  of  silver, 

33  his  belly  and  his  thighs  of  brass,  his  legs  of  iron,  his 

34  feet  part  of  iron,  and  part  of  clay.  Thou  sawest  till  that 
a  stone  was  cut  out  without  hand.s,  which  smote  the 
image  upon  his  feet  that  were  of  iron  and  clay,  and 

35  brake  them  in  pieces.  Then  was  the  iron,  the  clay, 
the  brass,  the  silver,  and  the  gold,  broken  in  pieces 
together,  and  became  like  the  chaff  of  the  summer 
threshing-floors;  and  the  wind  carried  them  away, 
that  no  place  was  found  for  them  :  and  the  stone  that 
smote  the  image  becam'e  a  great  'mountain,  and  filled 

36  the  whole  earth.  This  is  the  dream ;  and  we  will  tell 

37  the  interpretation  thereof  before  the  king.  Thou, 
O  king,  art  king  of  kings,  unto  whom  the  God  of

and  glory. 

38  *And  wheresoever  the  children  of  men  dwell,  the  beasts 
of  the  field  and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  hath  he  given  into 
thine  hand,  and  hath  made  thee  ruler  over  them  all.  'Thou 
art  this  head  of  gold. 

39  And  after  thee  shall  arise  "another  kingdom  "inferior 
to  thee,  and  another  third  kingdom  of  brass,  which  shall 
bear  rule  over  all  the  earth. 

40  And  "the  fourth  kingdom  shall  be  strong  as  iron :  for- 
asmuch as  iron  breaketh  in  pieces  and  subdueth  all  things  : 
and  as  iron  that  breaketh  all  these,  shall  it  break  in  pieces 
and  bruise. 

41  And  whereas  thou  sawest  'the  feet  and  toes,  part  of 

E otters'  clay,  and  part  of  iron,  the  kingdom  shall  be  divided ; 
ut  there  shall  be  in  it  of  the  strength  of  the  iron,  forasmuch 
as  thou  sawest  the  iron  mixed  with  miry  clay. 

42  And  as  the  toes  of  the  feet  icere  part  of  iron,  and  part  of 
clay, so  the  kingdom  shall  be  partly  strong,and  partly  ||broken. 

43  And  whereas  thou  sawest  iron  mixed  with  miry  clay, 
they  shall  mingle  themselves  with  the  seed  of  men :  but 
they  shall  not  cleave  fone  to  another,  eiren  as  iron  is  not 
mixed  with  clay. 

44  And  in  fthe  days  of  these  kings  'shall  the  God  of 
heaven  set  up  a  kingdom,  'which  shall  never  be  destroyed: 
and  the  fkingdom  shall  not  be  left  to  other  people,  'but  it 
shall  break  in  pieces  and  consume  all  these  kingdoms,  and 
it  shall  stand  for  ever. 

45  "Forasmuch  as  thou  sawest  that  the  stone  was  cut  out 
of  the  mountain  ||  without  hands,  and  that  it  brake  in  pieces 
the  iron,  the  brass,  the  clay,  the  silver,  and  the  gold;  the 
great  God  hath  made  known  to  the  king  what  shall  come 
to  pass  thereafter:  and  the  dream  is  certain,  and  the  inter- 
pretation thereof  sure. 

46  ^^•'Theu  the  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  fell  upon  his  face, 
and  worshipped  Dan'iel,  and  commanded  that  they  should 
offer  an  oblation  "and  sweet  odours  unto  him. 

47  The  king  answered  unto  Dan'iel,  and  said.  Of  a  truth  it 
is,  that  your  God  is  a  God  of  gods,  and  a  Lord  of  kings,  'and 
a  revealer  of  secrets,  seeing  thou  couldest  reveal  this  secret. 

48  Then  the  king  made  Dan'iel  a  great  man,  "and  gave 
him  many  great  gifts,  and  made  him  ruler  over  the  whole 
province  of  Bab'y-lou,  and  ''chief  of  the  governors  over  all 
the  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon. 

49  Then  Dan'iel  reque.sted  of  the  king,  "and  he  set  Shad'- 
rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go  over  the  affairs  of  the  prov- 
ince of  Bab'y-lon :  but  Dan'iel  ''sat  in  the  gate  of  the  king. 

CHAPTER   III. 

Nebuchadnezzar  setteth  up  a  golden  image. 

NEB-U-CHAD-XEZ'ZAR  the  king  made  an  image  of 
gold,  whose  height  was  threescore  cubits,  and  the 
breadth  thereof  six  cubits:  he  set  it  up  in  the  plain  of 
Du'ra,  in  the  province  of  Bab'y-lon. 

2  Then  Xeb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  sent  to  gather  together 
the  princes,  the  governors,  and  the  captains,  the  judges,  the 
treasurers,  the  counsellors,  the  sheriffs,  and  all  the  rulers  of 
the  provinces,  to  come  to  the  dedication  of  the  image  which 
Keb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  had  set  up. 

3  Then  the  princes,  the  governors,  and  captains,  the  judges, 
the  treasurers,  the  counsellors,  the  sheriffs,  and  all  the  rulers 
of  the  provinces,  were  gathered  together  unto  the  dedication 
of  the  image  that  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  kinghad  set  up;  and 
they  stood  before  the  image  that  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  had  set  up. 

4  Then  an  herald  cried  faloud,  To  you  fit  is  commanded, 
"O  people,  nations,  and  languages, 

5  That  at  what  time  ye  hear  the  sound  of  the  cornet, 
flute,  harp,  sackbut,  psalterj',  Hfdulcimer,  and  all  kinds  of 
music,  ye  fall  down  and  worship  the  golden  image  that' 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  hath  set  up: 


heaven  hath  given  the  kingdom,  the  power,  and  the 

38  strength,  and  the  glory ;  and  wheresoever  the  children 
of  men  dwell,  the  beasts  of  the  field  and  the  fowls  of 
the  heaven  hath  he  given  into  thine  hand,  and  hath 
made  thee  to  rule  over  them  all :  thou  art  the  head 

39  of  gold.  And  after  thee  shall  arise  another  king- 
dom inferior  to  thee;  and  another  third  kingdom 
of  brass,  which  shall  bear  rule  over  all  the  earth. 

40 And  the  fourth  kingdom  shall  be  strong  as  iron: 
forasmuch  as  iron  breaketh  in  pieces  and  subdueth 
all  things:  and  as  iron  that  crusheth  all  these,  shall 

41  it  break  in  pieces  and  crush.  And  whereas  thou 
sawest  the  feet  and  toes,  part  of  potters'  clay,  and 
part  of  iron,  it  shall  be  a  divided  kingdom ;  but  there 
shall  be  in  it  of  the  strength  of  the  iron,  forasmuch  as 

42  thou  sawest  the  iron  mixed  with  'miry  clay.  And 
as  the  toes  of  the  feet  were  part  of  iron,  and  part 
of  clay,  so  the  kingdom  shall  be  partly  strong,  and 

43  partly  ^broken.  And  whereas  thou  sawest  the  iron 
mixed  with  'miry  clay,  they  shall  mingle  them- 
selves %ith  the  seed  of  men;  but  they  shall  not 
cleave  one  to  another,  even  as  iron  doth  not  mingle 

44  with  clay.  And  in  the  days  of  those  kings  shall 
the  God  of  heaven  set  up  a  kingdom,  which  shall 
never  be  destroyed,  nor  shall  the  sovereignty 
thereof  be  left  to  another  people;  but  it  shall  break 
in   pieces   and  consume  all  these  kingdoms,  and  it 

45 shall  stand  forever.  Forasmuch  as  thou  sawe.st  that 
a  stone  was  cut  out  of  the  mountain  without  hands, 
and  that  it  brake  in  pieces  the  iron,  the  brass,  the 
clay,  the  silver,  and  the  gold;  the  great  God  hath 
made  known  to  the  king  what  shall  come  to  pass 
hereafter :  and  the  dream  is  certain,  and  the  inter- 

46  pretation  thereof  sure.     Then  the  king  Neb-u-chad 
nez'zar  fell  upon  his  face  and  worshipped  Dan'iel,  and 
commanded  that  they  should  offer  an  oblation  and 

47  sweet  odours  unto  him.  The  king  answered  unto 
Dan'iel,  and  said.  Of  a  truth  your  God  is  the  God  of 
gods,  and  the  Lord  of  king,s,  and  a  revealer  of  secrets, 

48  seeing  thou  hast  been  able  to  reveal  this  secret.  Then 
the  king  made  Dan'iel  great,  and  gave  him  many  great 
gifts,  and  made  him  to  rule  over  the  whole  province 
of  Bab'y-lon,  and  to  be  chief  governor  over  all  the 

49  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon.  And  Dan'iel  requested  of 
the  king,  and  he  appointed  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and 
A-bed-'ne-go,  over  the  affairs  of  the  province  of  Bab'y- 
lou  :  but  Dan'iel  was  ''in  the  gate  of  the  king. 

O  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  made  an  image  of  gold, 
whose  height  was  threescore  cubits,  and  the  breadth 
thereof  six  cubits :  he  set  it  up  in  the  plain  of  Du'ra, 

2  in  the  province  of  Bab'y-lon.  Then  Neb-u-chad-nez'- 
zar the  king  sent  to  gather  together  the  satraps,  the 
deputies,  and  the  governors,  the  'judges,  the  treas- 
urers, the  counsellors,  the  'sheriffs,  and  all  the  rul- 
ers of  the  provinces,  to  come  to  the  dedication  of 
the  image  wnich  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  had  set 

3  up.  Then  the  satraps,  the  deputies  and  the  gover- 
nors, the  •'judges,  the  treasurers,  the  counsellors,  the 

"sheriffs,  and  all  the  rulers  of  the  provinces,  were 
gathered  together  unto  the  dedication  of  the  image 
that  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  had  set  up;  and 
they  stood  before  the  image  that  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 

4  had  set  up.  Then  the  herald  cried  aloud.  To  you  it 
is  commanded,  O  peoples,  nations,  and  languages, 

5  that  at  what  time  ye  hear  the  sound  of  the  cornet, 
flute,  harp,  sackbut,  psaltery,  'dulcimer,  and  all  kinds 
of  music,  ye  fall  down  and  worship  the  golden 
image  that  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  hath  set  up :

6  And  whoso  felleth  not  down  and  worshippeth  shall  the 
same  hour  *be  cast  into  the  midst  of  a  burning  fiery  furnace. 

7  Therefore  at  that  time,  when  all  the  people  heard  the 
sound  of  the  cornet,  flute,  harp,  sackbut,  psaltery,  and  all 
kinds  of  music,  all  the  people,  the  nations,  and  the  lan- 
guages, fell  down  and  worshipped  the  golden  image  that 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  had  set  up. 

8  ^Wherefore  at  that  time  certain  Chal-de'ans  "came  near, 
and  accused  the  Jews. 

9  They  spake  and  said  to  the  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar,  ''O 
king,  live  for  ever. 

10  Thou,  O  king,  hast  made  a  decree,  that  every  man 
that  shall  hear  the  sound  of  the  cornet,  flute,  harp,  sackbut, 
psaltery,  and  dulcimer,  and  all  kinds  of  music,  shall  fall 
down  and  worship  the  golden  image : 

11  And  whoso  falleth  not  down  and  worshippeth,  that  he 
should  be  cast  into  the  midst  of  a  burning  fiery  furnace. 

12  'There  are  certain  Jews  whom  thou  ha.st  set  over  the 
affairs  of  the  province  of  Bab'y-Ion,  Shad'rach,  Me'shach, 
and  A-bed'-ne-go ;  these  men,  O  king,  fhave  not  regarded 
thee :  they  serve  not  thy  gods,  nor  worship  the  golden 
image  which  thou  hast  set  up. 

13  i[Then  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  in  his  rage  and  fury  com- 
manded to  bring  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  aud  A-bed'-ne-go. 
Then  they  brought  these  men  before  the  king. 

14  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  spake  and  said  unto  them,  Jsz<||  true, 
O  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-nego  ?  do  not  ye  serve  my 
gods,  nor  worship  the  golden  image  which  I  have  set  up  ? 

15  Now  if  ye  be  ready  that  at  what  time  ye  hear  the 
sound  of  the  cornet,  flute,  harp,  sackbut,  psaltery,  and  dul- 
cimer, and  all  kinds  of  music,  ye  fall  down  and  worship  the 
image  which  I  have  made;  ^well:  but  if  ye  worship  not,  ye 
shall  be  cast  the  same  hour  into  the  midst  of  a  burning 
fiery  furnace;  "and  who  is  that  God  that  shall  deliver  you 
out  of  my  hands? 

16  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go  answered  and 
said  to  the  king,  O  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar,  ''we  are  not  careful 
to  answer  thee  in  this  matter. 

17  If  it  be  so,  our  God  whom  we  serve  is  able  to  deliver 
us  from  the  burning  fiery  furnace,  and  he  will  deliver  us 
out  of  thine  hand,  O  king. 

18  But  if  not,  be  it  known  unto  thee,  O  king,  that  we 
will  not  serve  thy  gods,  nor  worship  the  golden  image 
which  thou  hast  set  up. 

19  ^Then  was  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  ffull  of  fury,  and  the 
form  of  his  visage  was  changed  against  Shad'rach,  Me'shach, 
and  A-bed'-ne-go :  therefore  he  spake,  and  commanded  that 
they  should  heat  the  furnace  one  seven  times  more  than  it 
was  wont  to  be  heated. 

20  And  he  commanded  the  fmost  mighty  men  that  were 
in  his  army  to  bind  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go, 
and  to  cast  them  into  the  burning  fiery  furnace. 

21  Then  these  men  were  bound  in  their  ||  coats,  their 
hosen,  and  their  ||  hats,  and  their  other  garments,  and  were 
cast  into  the  midst  of  the  burning  fiery  furnace. 

22  Therefore  because  the  king's  fcommandment  was 
urgent,  and  the  furnace  exceeding  hot,  the  ||  flame  of  the 
fire  slew  those  men  that  took  up  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and 
A-bed'-ne-go. 

23  And  these  three  men,  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'- 
ne-go,  fell  down  bound  into  the  midst  of  the  burning  fiery 
furnace. 

24  Then  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king  was  astonied,  and  rose 
up  in  haste,  and  spake,  and  said  unto  his  ||  counsellors,  Did 
not  we  cast  three  men  bound  into  the  midst  of  the  fire? 
They  answered  and  said  unto  the  king,  True,  O  king. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  Lo,  I  see  four  men  loose,  *\valk- 
ing  in  the  midst  of  the  fire,  and  fthey  have  no  hurt:  and 
the  form  of  the  fourth  is  like  'the  Son  of  God. 


6  and  whoso  &lleth  not  down  and  worshippeth  shall 
the  same  hour  be  cast  into  the  midst  of  a  burning 

7  fiery  furnace.  Therefore  at  that  time,  when  all 
the  peoples  heard  the  sound  of  the  cornet,  flute, 
harp,  sackbut,  psaltery,  and  all  kinds  of  music,  all 
the  peoples,  the  nations,  and  the  languages,  fell 
down  and  worshipped  the  golden  image  that  Neb-u- 

8  chad-nez'zar  the  king  had  set  up.  Wherefore  at  that 
time    certain    Chal-de'ans   came   near,  and  brought 

9  accusation  against  the  Jews.  They  answered  and 
said  to  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king,  O  king,  live  for 

10  ever.  Thou,  O  king,  hast  made  a  decree,  that 
every  man  that  shall  hear  the  sound  of  the  cornet, 
flute,  harp,  sackbut,  psaltery,  and  dulcimer,  and  all 
kinds   of  music,   shall   fall  down  and  worship  the 

1 1  golden  image :  and  whoso  falleth  not  down  and 
worshippeth,  shall  be  cast  into  the  midst  of  a  burn- 

12ing  fiery  furnace.  There  are  certain  Jews  whom 
thou  hast  appointed  over  the  affairs  of  the  province 
of  Bab'y-lon,  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go; 
these  men,  O  king,  have  not  regarded  thee:  they 
serve   not  thy  gods,  nor  worship  the  golden  image 

13  which  thou  hast  set  up.  Then  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
in  his  rage  and  fury  commanded  to  bring  Shad'rach, 
Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go.      Then  they  brought 

14  these  men  before  the  king.  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
answered  and  said  unto  them.  Is  it  of  purpose,  O 
Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  that  ye  serve 
not  my  god,  nor  worship  the  golden  image  which 

15  have  set  up?  Now  if  ye  be  ready  that  at  what  time 
ye  hear  the  sound  of  the  cornet,  flute,  harp,  sack- 
but,  psaltery,  and  dulcimer,  and  all  kinds  of  music, 
ye  fall  down  and  worship  the  image  which  I  have 
made,  well:  but  if  ye  worship  not,  ye  shall  be  cast 
the  same  hour  into  the  midst  of  a  burning  fiery 
furnace ;  and  who  is  that  god  that  shall  deliver  you 

16  out  of  my  hands?  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'- 
ne-go,  answered  and  said  to  the  king,  O  Neb-u-chad- 
nez'zar,  'we  have    no   need  to   answer   thee   in  this 

17  matter.  ^If  it  be  so,  our  God  whom  we  serve  is 
able  to  deliver  us  from  the  burning  fiery  furnace; 
and   he  will  deliver  us  out  of  thine  hand,  O  king. 

18  But  if  not,  be  it  known  unto  thee,  O  king,  that  we 
Avill  not  serve  thy   gods,  nor  worship  the    golden 

19  image  which  thou  hast  set  up.  Then  was  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  full  of  fury,  and  the  form  of  his  visage 
was  changed  against  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  aud 
A-bed'-ne-go :  therefore  he  spake,  and  commanded 
that  they  should  heat  the  furnace  seven  times  more 

20 than  it  was  wont  to  be  heated.  And  he  commanded 
certain  mighty  men  that  were  in  his  army  to  bind 
Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  and  to  cast 

21  them  into  the  burning  fiery  fiirnace.  Then  these 
men  were  bound  in  their  hosen,  their  'tunics,  and 
their  mantles,  and  their  other  garments,  and  were 
cast    into    the    midst  of  the  burning  fiery   furnace. 

22  Therefore  because  the  king's  commandment  was 
urgent,  and  the  furnace  exceeding  hot,  the  flame  of 
the  fire  slew  those  men  that  took  up  Shad'rach,  Me'- 

23  shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go.  And  these  three  men,  Shad'- 
rach, Me'shach,  and  A-bed'ne-go,fell  down  bound  into 

24  the  midst  of  the  burning  fiery  furnace.  Then  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  the  king  was  astonied, and  rose  upin  haste: 
he  spake  and  said  unto  his  counsellors.  Did  not  we 
cast  three  men  bound  into  the  midst  of  the  fire  ? 
They  answered  and  said  unto  the  king.  True,  O  king. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  Lo,  I  see  four  men  loose, 
walking  in  the  midst  of  the  fire,  and  they  have  no  hurt; 
and  the  aspect  of  the  fourth  is  like  a  son  of  the  gods.  |

26  ^Then  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  came  near  to  the  fmouth  of 
the  burning  fiery  furnace,  and  spake,  and  said,  Shad'rach, 
Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  ye  servants  of  the  most  high 
God,  come  forth,  and  come  hither.  Then  Shad'rach,  Me'- 
shach, and  A-bed'-ne-go,  came  forth  of  the  midst  of  the  fire. 

27  And  the  princes,  governors,  and  captains,  and  the 
king's  counsellors  being  gathered  together,  saw  these  men, 
"upon  whose  bodies  the  fire  had  no  power,  nor  was  a  hair 
of  their  head  singed,  neither  were  their  coats  changed,  nor 
the  smell  of  fire  had  passed  on  them. 

28  Then  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  spake,  and  said,  Blessed  be  the 
God  of  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  who  hath  sent 
his  angel,  and  delivered  his  servants  that  "trusted  in  him, 
and  have  changed  the  king's  word,  and  yielded  their  bodies, 
that  they  might  not  serve  nor  worship  any  god,  except  their 
own  God. 

29  "Therefore  fl  make  a  decree.  That  every  people, 
nation,  and  language,  which  speak  fany  thing  amiss  against 
the  God  of  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  shall  be 
"fcut  in  pieces,  and  their  houses  shall  be  made  a  dunghill : 
'because  there  is  no  other  God  that  can  deliver  after  this  sort. 

30  Then  the  king  fpromoted  Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and 
A-bed'-ne-go,  in  the  province  of  Bab'y-lon. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

Daniel  heareth  Nebuchadnrzzar^s  dream,  and  interpreteth  it. 

NEB-U-CHAD-NEZ'ZAR   the   king,  -unto   all  people, 
nations,  and  languages,  that  dwell  in  all  the  earth  ;  Peace 
be  multiplied  unto  you. 
2  fl  thought    it    good    to   shew   the    signs   and  wonders 
that  the  high  God  hath  wrought  toward  me. 
.3  "^How   great  are  his   signs !    and   how    mighty    are  his 
wonders !  his  kingdom  is  ''an  everlasting  kingdom,  and  his 
dominion  is  from  generation  to  generation. 

4  ^I  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  was  at  rest  in  mine  house,  and 
flourishing  in  my  palace : 

5  I  saw  a  dream  which  made  me  afraid,  'and  the  thoughts 
upon  my  bed  and  the  visions  of  my  head  •''troubled  me. 

6  Therefore  made  I  a  decree  to  bring  in  all  the  wise  men 
of  Bab'y-lon  before  me,  that  they  might  make  known  unto 
me  the  interpretation  of  the  dream. 

7  "Then  came  in  the  magicians,  the  astrologers,  the  Chal-de'ans, 
and  the  soothsayers :  and  I  told  the  dream  before  them  ;  but 
they  did  not  make  known  unto  me  the  interpretation  thereof. 

8  ^But  at  the  last  Dan'iel  came  in  before  me,  ''whose 
name  loas  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  according  to  the  name  of  my  god, 
'and  in  whom  is  the  spirit  of  the  holy  gods :  and  before  him 
I  told  the  dream,  saying, 

9  O  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  *ma.ster  of  the  magicians,  because  I 
know  that  the  spirit  of  the  holy  gods  is  in  thee,  and  no 
secret  troubleth  thee,  tell  me  the  visions  of  my  dream  that 
I  have  seen,  and  the  interpretation  thereof. 

10  Thus  wo'e  the  visions  of  mine  head  in  my  bed;  fl 
saw,  and  behold  'a  tree  in  the  midst  of  the  earth,  and  the 
height  thereof  was  great. 

1 1  The  tree  grew,  and  was  strong,  and  the  height  thereof 
reached  unto  heaven,  and  the  sight  thereof  to  the  end  of  all 
the  earth : 

12  The  leaves  thereof  were  fair,  and  the  fruit  thereof  much, 
and  in  it  was  meat  for  all :  "the  beasts  of  the  field  had 
shadow  under  it,  and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  dwelt  in  the 
boughs  thereof,  and  all  flesh  was  fed  of  it. 

13  I  saw  in  the  visions  of  my  head  upon  my  bed,  and,  be- 
hold, "a  watcher  and  °a  holy  one  came  down  from  heaven ; 

14  He  cried  faloud,  and  said  thus,  "Hew  down  the  tree, 
and  cut  off  his  branches,  shake  off  his  leaves,  and  scatter 
his  fruit :  'let  the  beasts  get  away  from  under  it,  and  the 
fowls  from  his  branches : 

15  Nevertheless,  leave  the  stump,  of  his  roots  inthe  earth, 
even  with  a  band  of  iron  and  brass,  in  the  tender  grass  of 


26  Then  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  came  near  to  the  ^mouth  of  the 
burning  fiery  furnace :  he  spake  and  said,  Shad'rach^ 
Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  ye  seryants  of  the  Most 
High  God,  come  forth,  and  come  hither.  Then  Shad'- 
rach, Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go  came  forth  out  of 

27  the  midst  of  t  e  fire.  And  the  satraps,  the  deputies, 
and  the  governors,  and  the  king's  counsellors,  being 
gathered  together,  saw  these  men,  that  the  fire  had 
no  power  upon  their  bodies,  nor  was  the  hair  of 
their  head  singed,  neither  were  their  hosen  changed, 

28  nor  had  the  smell  of  fire  pa.ssed  on  them.  Neb-u- 
chad-nez'zar  spake  and  said.  Blessed  be  the  God  of 
Shad'rach,  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  who  hath  sent 
his  angel,  and  delivered  his  servants  that  trusted  in 
him,  and  have  changed  the  king's  word,  and  have 
yielded  their  bodies,  that  they  might  not  serve  nor 

29  worship  any  god,  except  their  own  God.  Therefore 
I  make  a  decree,  that  every  people,  nation,  and  lan- 
guage, which  speak  any  thing  amiss  against  the  God 
of  Shad'rachj  Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  shall  be  cut 
in  pieces,  and  their  houses  shall  be  made  a  dunghill : 
because  there  is  no  other  god  that  is  able  to  deliver 

30  after  this  sort.  Then  the  king  promoted  Shad'rach, 
Me'shach,  and  A-bed'-ne-go,  in  the  province  of  Bab'y-lon. 

^  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  the  king,  unto  all  the  peoples, 
nations,  and  languages,  that  dwell  in  all  the  earth ; 

2  peace  be  multiplied  unto  you.  It  hath  seemed  good 
unto  me  to  shew  the   signs  and  wonders  that  the 

3  Most  High   God  hath  wrought  toward   me.     How 
great  are  his  signs !   and  how  mighty  are  his  won 
ders !    his  kingdom  is  an  everlasting  kingdom,  and 
his  dominion  is  from  generation  to  generation. 

4  I  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  was  at  rest  in  mine  house,  and 

5  flourishing  in  my  palace.  I  saw  a  dream  which 
made  me  afraid;    and  the  ^thoughts  upon  my  bed 

6  and  the  visions  of  my  head  troubled  me.'  There, 
fore  made  I  a  decree  to  bring  in  all  the  wise  men  of 
Bab'y-lon  before  me,  that  they  might  make  known 

7  unto  me  the  interpretation  of  the  dream.  Then 
came  in  the  magicians,  the  enchanters,  the  Chal- 
de'ans,  and  the  soothsayers  :  and  I  told  the  dream 
before  them ;  but  they  did  not  make  known  unto  me 

8  the  interpretation  thereof.  But  at  the  last  Dan'iel  came 
in  before  me,  whose  name  was  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  accord- 
ing to  the  name  of  my  god,  and  in  whom  is  the 
spirit  of  the  holy  gods:    and  I  told  the  dream  be- 

9  fore  him,  saying,  O  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  master  of  the  ma- 
gicians, because  I  know  that  the  spirit  of  the  holy 
gods  is  in  thee,  and  no  secret  troubleth  thee,  tell  me 
the  visions  of  my  dream,  that  I  have  seen,  and  the 

10  interpretation  thereof.  Thus  were  the  visions  of 
my  head  upon  my  bed :  I  saw,  and  behold  a  tree  in 
the  midst  of  the  earth,  and  the  height  thereof  was 

1 1  great.  The  tree  grew,  and  was  strong,  and  the 
height  thereof  reached  unto  heaven,  and  the  sight 

12  thereof  to  the  end  of  all  the  earth.  The  leaves 
thereof  were  fair,  and  the  fruit  thereof  much,  and 
in  it  was  meat  for  all :  the  beasts  of  the  field  had 
shadow  under  it,  and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  dwelt 

13  in  the  branches  thereof,  and  all  flesh  was  fed  of  it. 
saw  in  the  visions  of  my  head  upon  my  bed,  and, 
behold,  a  watcher  and  an  holy  one  came  down  from 

14  heaven.  He  cried  aloud,  and  said  thus.  Hew  down  the 
tree,  and  cut  off  his  branches,  shake  ofl"  his  leaves, 
and  scatter  his  fruit :    let  the  beasts  get  away  from 

15  under  it,  and  the  fowls  from  his  branches.  Neverthe- 
less leave  the  stump  of  his  roots  in  the  earth,  even

the  field ;  and  let  it  be  wet  with  the  dew  of  heaven,  and  let 
his  portion  be  with  the  beasts  in  the  grass  of  the  earth  : 

16  Let  his  heart  be  changed  from  man's,  and  let  a  beast's 
heart  be  given  unto  him;  and  let  seven  'times  pass  over 
him.- 

17  This  matter  is  by  the  decree  of  the  watchers,  and  the 
demand  by  the  M'ord  of  the  holy  ones:  to  the  intent  'that 
the  living  may  know  'that  the  Most  High  ruleth  in  the 
kingdom  of  men,  and  giveth  it  to  whomsoever  he  will,  and 
setteth  up  over  it  the  basest  of  men. 

18  This  dream  I  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  have  seen.  Now 
thou,  O  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  declare  the  interpretation  thereof, 
"forasmuch  as  all  the  wise  men  of  my  kingdom  are  not  able 
to  make  known  unto  me  the  interpretation :  but  thou  art 
able ;  ''for  the  spirit  of  the  holy  gods  is  in  thee. 

19  ^Then  Dan'iel,  "whose  name  was  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  was 
astonied  for  one  hour,  and  his  thoughts  troubled  him.  The 
king  spake,  and  said,  Bel-te-shaz'zar,  let  not  the  dream,  or 
the  interpretation  thereof,  trouble  thee.  Bel-te-shaz'zar 
answered,  and  said.  My  lord,  'the  dream  be  to  them  that 
hate  thee,  and  the  interpretation  thereof  to  thine  enemies. 

20  "The  tree  that  thou  sawest,  which  grew,  and  was 
strong,  whose  height  reached  unto  the  heaven,  and  the 
sight  thereof  to  all  the  earth ; 

21  Whose  leaves  were  fair,  and  the  fruit  thereof  much, 
and  in  it  was  meat  for  all ;  under  which  the  beasts  of  the 
field  dwelt,  and  upon  Avhose  branches  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven  had  their  habitation  : 

22  ''It  is  thou,  O  king,  that  art  grown  and  become  strong : 
for  thy  greatness  is  grown,  and  reacheth  unto  heaven,  'r.nd 
thy  dominion  to  the  end  of  the  earth. 

23  ''And  whereas  the  king  saw  a  watcher  and  a  holy  one 
coming  down  from  heaven,  and  saying.  Hew  the  tree  down, 
and  destroy  it ;  yet  leave  the  stump  of  the  roots  thereof  in 
the  earth,  even  with  a  band  of  iron  and  bras.s,  in  the 
tender  grass  of  the  field ;  and  let  it  be  wet  with  the  dew 
of  heavan,  'and  let  his  portion  be  with  the  beasts  of  the 
field,  till  seven  times  pass  over  him; 

24  This  is  the  interpretation,  O  king,  and  this  is  the 
decree  of  the  Most  High,  which  is  come  upon  my  lord 
the  king: 

25  That  they  shalKdrive  thee  from  men,  and  thy  dwelling 
shall  be  with  the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  they  shall  make 
thee  "to  eat  grass  as  oxen,  and  they  shall  wet  thee  with  the 
dew  of  heaven,  and  seven  times  shall  pass  over  thee,  *tiil 
thou  know  that  the  Most  High  ruleth  in  the  kingdom  of 
men,  and  'giveth  it  to  whomsoever  he  will. 

26  And  whereas  they  commanded  to  leave  the  stump  of 
the  tree  roots;  thy  kingdom  shall  be  sure  unto  thee,  after 
that  thou  shalt  have  known  that  the  'heavens  do  rule. 

27  Wherefore,  O  king,  let  my  counsel  be  acceptable  unto 
thee,  and  'break  off  thy  sins  by  righteousness,  and  thine  in- 
iquities by  shewing  mercy  to  the  poor;  "if  it  may  be  ||"a 
lengthening  of  thy  tranquillity. 

28  ^AU  this  came  upon  the  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar. 

29  At  the  end  of  twelve  months  he  walked  ||in  the  palace 
of  the  kingdom  of  Bab'y-lon. 

30  The  king  "spake,  and  said,  Is  not  this  great  Bab'y-lon, 
that  I  have  built  for  the  house  of  the  kingdom  by  the 
might  of  my  power,  and  for  the  honour  of  my  majesty  ? 

31  "While  the  word  was  in  the  king's  mouth,  there  fell  "a 
voice  from  heaven,  saying,  O  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar,  to 
thee  it  is  spoken;  The  kingdom  is  departed  from  thee. 

32  And  ""they  shall  drive  thee  from  men,  and  thy  dwelling 
shall  be  with  the  beasts  of  the  field :  they  shall  make  thee 
to  eat  grass  as  oxen,  and  seven  times  shall  pass  over  thee, 
until  thou  know  that  the  Most  High  ruleth  in  the  kingdom 
of  men,  and  giveth  it  to  whomsoever  he  will. 

33  The  same  hour  was  the  thing  fulfilled  upon  Neb-u- 


the  field;  and  let  it  be  wet  with  the  dew  of  heaven, 
and  let  his  portion  be  with  the  beasts  in  the  grass  of 

16  the  earth  :  let  his  heart  be  changed  from  man's,  and 
let  a  beast's  heart  be  given  unto  him ;  and  let  seven 

17  times  pass  over  him.  The  sentence  is  by  the  decree 
of  the  watchers,  and  the  'demand  by  the  word  of 
the  holy  ones :  to  the  intent  that  the  living  may 
know  that  the  Most  High  ruleth  in  the  kingdom  of 
men,  and  giveth  it  to  whomsoever  he  will,  and  setteth 

18  up  over  it  the  lowest  of  men.  This  dream  I  king 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  have  seen:  and  thou,  O  Bel-te- 
shaz'zar  declare  the  interpretation,  forasmuch  as  all 
the  wise  men  of  my  kingdom  are  not  able  to  make 
known  unto  me  the  interpretation;  but  thou  art  able, 
for  the  spirit  of  the  holy  gods  is  in  thee. 

19  Then  Dan'iel,  whose  name  was  Bel-te-shaz'zar, 
was  astonied  for  a  while,  and  his  thoughts  troubled 
him.  The  king  answered  and  said,  Bel-te-shaz'zar, 
let  not  the  dream,  or  the  interpretation,  trouble  thee. 
Bel-te-shaz'zar  answered  and  said,  My  lord,  the  dream 
be  to   them  that  hate  thee,  and  the  interpretation 

20  thereof  to  thine  adversaries.  The  tree  that  thou 
sawest,  which  grew,  and  was  strong,  whose  height 
reached  unto  the  heaven,  and  the  sight  thereof  to  all 

21  the  earth ;  whose  leaves  were  fair,  and  the  fruit  thereof 
much,  and  in  it  was  meat  for  all ;  under  which  the  beasts 
of  the  field  dwelt,  and  upon  whose  branches  the  fowls 

22  of  the  heaven  had  their  habitation:  it  is  thou,  O  king, 
that  art  grown  and  become  strong ;  for  thy  greatness 
is  grown,  and  reacheth  unto  heaven,  and  thy  dominion 

23  to  the  end  of  the  earth.  And  whereas  the  king  saw  a 
watcher  and  an  holy  one  coming  down  from  heaven, 
and  saying.  Hew  down  the  tree,  and  destroy  it ;  never- 
theless leave  the  stump  of  the  roots  thereof  in  the 
earth,  even  with  a  band  of  iron  and  brass,  in  the  tender 
grass  of  the  field;  and  let  it  be  wet  with  the  dew  of 
heaven,  and  let  his  portion  be  with  the  beasts  of  the 

24  field,  till  seven  times  pass  over  him  ;  this  is  the  in- 
terpretation, O  king,  and  it  is  the  decree  of  the 
Most  High,  which  is  come  upon  my  lord  the  king: 

25  that  thou  shalt  be  driven  from  men,  and  thy  dwell- 
ing shall  be  with  the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  thou 
shalt  be  made  to  eat  grass  as  oxen,  and  shalt  be  wet 
with  the  dew  of  heaven,  and  seven  times  shall  pass 
over  thee ;  till  thou  know  that  the  Most  High 
ruleth    in    the    kingdom   of  men,   and  giveth   it  to 

26  whomsoever  he  will.  And  whereas  they  commanded 
to  leave  the  stump  of  the  tree  roots ;  thy  kingdom 
shall  be  sure  unto  thee,  after  that  thou  shalt  have 

27  known  that  the  heavens  do  rule.  Wherefore,  O 
king,  let  my  counsel  be  acceptable  unto  thee,  and 
^break  off  thy  sins  by  righteousness,  and  thine 
iniquities  by  shewing  mercy  to  the  poor;    if  there 

28  may  be  'a  lengthening  of  thy  tranquillity.    All  this 

29  came  upon  the  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar.  At  the  end  of 
twelve  months  he  was  walking  *in  the  royal  palace 

30  of  Bab'y-lon.  The  king  spake  and  said.  Is  not  this 
great  Bab'y-lon,  which  I  have  built  for  the  royal 
dwelling  place,  by  the  might  of  my  power  and  for 

31  the  glory  of  my  majesty?  While  the  word  was  in 
the  king's  mouth,  there  fell  a  voice  from  heaven, 
saying,   O  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar,  to   thee    it  is 

32  spoken :  the  kingdom  is  departed  from  thee.  And  thou 
shalt  be  driven  from  men,  and  thy  dwelling  shall  be 
with  the  beasts  of  the  field  ;  thou  shalt  be  made  to  eat 
grass  as  oxen,  and  seven  times  shall  pass  over  thee ; 
until  thou  know  that  the  Most  High  ruleth  in  the 
kingdom  of  men,  and  giveth  it  to  whomsoever  he  will.

34  And  'at  the  end  of  the  days  I  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar

CHAPTER  V. 

Belshazzar's  impious  feast — A  hand  writing  on  the  tvall, 

BEL-SHAZ'ZAR  the  king  "made  a  great  feast  to  a  thou- 
sand of  his  lords,  and  drank  wine  before  the  thousand. 

2  Bel-shaz'zar,  while  he  tasted  the  wine,  commanded  to 
bring  the  golden  and  silver  vessels  'which  his  ||  father 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  had  ftaken  out  of  the  temple  which  was 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  that  the  king  and  his  princes,  his  wives 
and  his  concubines,  might  drink  therein. 

3  Then  they  brought  the  golden  vessels  that  were  taken 
out  of  the  temple  of  the  house  of  God  which  was  at  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem; and  the  king  and  his  princes,  his  wives  and  his 
concubines,  drank  in  them. 

4  They  drank  wine,  "and  praised  the  gods  of  gold,  and  of 
silver,  of  brass,  of  iron,  of  wood,  and  of  stone. 

6  If ''In  the  same  hour  came  forth  fingers  of  a  man's  hand, 
and  wrote  over  against  the  candlestick  upon  the  plaster  of 
the  wall  of  the  king's  palace :  and  the  king  saw  the  part  of 
the  hand  that  wrote. 

6  Then  the  king's  fcountenance  fwas  changed,  and  his 
thoughts  troubled  him,  so  that  the  Hfjoints  of  his  loins 
were  loosed,  and  his  'knees  amote  one  against  another. 

7  ■''The  king  cried  faloud  to  bring  in  "the  astrologers,  the 
Chal-de'ans,  and  the  soothsayers.  And  the  king  spake  and 
said  to  the  wise  men  of  Bab'y-lon,  Whosoever  shall  read  this 
writing,  and  shew  me  the  interpretation  thereof,  shall  be 
clothed  with  ||  scarlet,  and  have  a  chain  of  gold  about  his 
neck,  ''and  shall  be  the  third  ruler  in  the  kingdom. 

8  Then  came  in  all  the  king's  wise  men :  'but  they  could 
not  read  the  writing,  nor  make  known  to  the  king  the 
interpretation  thereof. 

9  Then  was  king  Bel-shaz'zar  greatly  ^troubled,  and  his 
fcountenance  was  changed  in  him,  and  his  lords  were 
astonied. 

10  *i\Now  the  queen,  by  reason  of  the  words  of  the  king 
and  his  loi'ds,  came  into  the  banquet  house :  and  the  queen 
spake  and  said,  'O  king,  live  for  ever :  let  not  thy  thoughts 
trouble  thee,  nor  let  thy  countenance  be  changed : 

11  "'There  is  a  man  in  thy  kingdom,  in  whom  is  the  spirit 
of  the  holy  gods;  and  in  the  days  of  thy  || father  light  and 
understanding  and  wisdom,  like  the  wisdom  of  the  gods, 
was  found  in  him;  whom  the  king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  thy 
II father,  the  king,  /  say,  thy  father,  made  "master  of  the 
magicians,  astrologers,  Chal-de'ans,  and  soothsayers: 

12  "Forasmuch  as  an  excellent  spirit,  and  knowledge,  and 
understanding,   || interpreting  of  dreams,   and  shewing  of 


chad-nez'zar :  and  he  was  driven  from  men,  and  did 
eat  grass  as  oxen,  and  his  body  was  wet  with  the 
dew  of  heaven,  till  his  hair  was  grown  like  eagles' 
B4:feathers,  and  his  nails  like  birds'  claws.  And  at  the 
end  of  the  days  I  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  lifted  up  mine 
eyes  unto  heaven,  and  mine  understanding  returned 
unto  me,  and  I  blessed  the  Most  High,  and  I  praised 
and  honoured  him  that  liveth  for  ever;  for  his 
dominion  is  an  everlasting  dominion,  and  his  kiug- 

35  dom  from  generation  to  generation :  and  all  the  in- 
habitants of  the  earth  are  reputed  as  nothing :  and 
he  doeth  according  to  his  will  in  the  army  of  heaven, 
and  among  the  inhabitants  of  the  earth :  and  none 
can  'stay  his   hand,  or  say   unto  him.  What  doest 

36  thou?  At  the  same  time  mine  understanding  returned 
unto  me;  and  for  the  glory  of  my  kingdom,  my 
majesty  and  brightness  returned  unto  me;  and  my 
counsellors  and  my  lords  sought  unto  me;  and  I 
was  established  in  my  kingdom,  and  excellent  great- 

37  ness  was  added  unto  me.  Now  I  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar 
praise  and  extol  and  honour  the  King  of  heaven  ;  for 
all  his  works  are  truth,  and  his  ways  judgement: 
and  those,  that  walk  in  pride  he  is  able  to  abase. 

V  Bel-shaz'zar  the  king  made  a  great  feast  to  a  thou- 
sand of  his  lords,  and  drank  wine  before  the  thou- 

2  sand.  Bel-shaz'zar,  whiles  he  tasted  the  wine,  com- 
manded to  bring  the  golden  and  silver  vessels  which 
Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  his  father  had  taken  out  of  the 
temple  which  was  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  that  the  king  and 
his  lords,  his  wives  and  his  concubines,  might  drink 

3  therein.  Then  they  brought  the  golden  vessels 
that  were  taken  out  of  the  temple  of  the  house  of 
God  which  was  at  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and  the  king  and  his 
lords,  his  wives  and  his  concubines,  drank  in  them. 

4  They  drank  wine,  and  praised  the  gods  of  gold, 
and  of  silver,   of  brass,  of  iron,  of  wood,  and   of 

5  stone.  In  the  same  hour  came'forth  the  fingers  of  a 
man's  hand,  and  wrote  over  against  the  candlestick 
upon  the  plaister  of  the  wall  of  the  king's  palace : 
and  the  king  saw  the  part  of  the  hand  that  wrote. 

6  Then  the  king's  ^countenance  was  changed  in  him, 
and  his  thoughts  troubled  him;  and  the  joints  of 
his    loins   were    loosed,   and    his    knees    smote    one 

7  against  another.  The  king  cried  aloud  to  bring  in 
the  enchanters,  the  Chal-de'ans,  and  the  soothsayers. 
The  king  spake  and  said  to  the  wise  men  of  Bab'y- 
lon,  Whosoever  shall  read  this  writing,  and  shew 
me  the  interpretation  thereof,  shall  be  clothed  with 
purple,  and  have  a  chain   of  gold  about  his  neck, 

8  and  shall  ^be  the  third  ruler  in  the  kingdom.  Then 
came  in  all  the  king's  wise  men :  but  they  could  not 
read  the    writing,  nor    make    known    to   the   king 

9  the  interpretation.  Then  was  king  Bel-shaz'zar 
greatly  troubled,  and  his  countenance  was  changed  in 

10  him,  and  his  lords  were  perplexed.  Now  the  queen 
by  reason  of  the  words  of  the  king  and  his  lords 
came  into  the  banquet  house :  the  queen  spake  and 
said,  O  king,  live  for  ever;  let  not  thy  thoughts 
trouble  thee,  nor  let  thy  countenance  be  changed: 

11  there  is  a  man  in  thy  kingdom,  in  whom  is  the 
spirit  of  the  holy  gods;  and  in  the  days  of  thy 
father  light  and  understanding  and  wisdom,  like  the 
wisdom  of  the  gods,  was  found  in  him :  and  the 
king  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  thy  father,  ^the  king,  I  say, 
thy  father,  made  him  master  of  the  magicians,  en- 

12 chanters,  Chal-de'an.s,  and  soothsayers;  forasmuch

hard  sentences,  and  ||  dissolving  of  fdoubts,  were  found 
in  the  same  Dan'iel,  "whom  the  king  named  Bel-te-shaz'- 
zar:  now  let  Dan'iel  be  called,  and  he  will  shew  the  inter- 
pretation. 

13  Then  was  Dan'iel  brought  in  before  the  king.  And  the 
king  spake  and  said  unto  Dan'iel,  Ar<  thou  that  Dan'iel,which 
art  of  the  children  of  the  captivity  of  Ju'dah,  whom  the 
king  my  ||  father  brought  out  of  Jew'ry? 

14  I  have  even  heard  of  thee,  that  'the  spirit  of  the  gods 
is  in  thee,  and  that  light  and  understanding  and  excellent 
wisdom  is  found  in  thee. 

15  And  now  'the  wise  men,  the  astrologers,  have  been 
brought  in  before  me,  that  they  should  read  this  writing, 
and  make  known  unto  me  the  interpretation  thereof:  but 
they  could  not  shew  the  interpretation  of  the  thing : 

16  And  I  have  heard  of  thee,  that  thou  canst  fmake  in- 
terpretations, and  dissolve  doubts :  'now  if  thou  canst  read 
the  writing,  and  make  known  to  me  the  interpretation 
thereof,  thou  shalt  be  clothed  with  scarlet j  and  have  a  chain 
of  gold  about  thy  neck,  and  shalt  be  the  third  ruler  in  the 
kingdom. 

17  "UThen  Dan'iel  answered  and  said  before  the  king,  Let 
thy  gifts  be  to  thyself,  and  give  thy  ||  rewards  to  another; 
yet  I  will  read  the  writing  unto  the  king,  and  make  known 
to  him  the  interpretation. 

18  O  thou  king, 'the  most  high  God  gave  Neb-u^chad-nez'zar 
thy  father  a  kingdom,  and  majesty,  and  glory,  and  honour: 

19  And  for  the  majesty  that  he  gave  him,  "all  people, 
nations,  and  languages,  trembled  and  feared  before  him: 
whom  he  would  he  slew;  and  whom  he  would  he  kept 
alive ;  and  whom  he  would  he  set  up ;  and  whom  he  would 
he  put  down. 

20  "'But  when  his  heart  was  lifted  up,  and  his  mind  hard- 
ened II  in  pride,  he  was  fdeposed  from  his  kingly  throne, 
and  they  took  his  glory  from  him : 

21  And  he  was  "driven  from  the  sons  of  men;  and  ||his 
heart  was  made  like  the  beasts,  and  his  dwelling  was  with 
the  wild  asses :  they*  fed  him  with  grass  like  oxen,  and  his 
body  was  wet  with  the  dew  of  heaven ;  "till  he  knew  that 
the  most  high  God  ruled  in  the  kingdom  of  men,  and  that 
he  appointeth  over  it  whom.soever  he  will. 

22  And  thou  his  son,  O  Bel-shaz'zar,  "hast  not  humbled 
thine  heart,  though  thou  knewest  all  this ; 

23  ''But  hast  lifted  up  thyself  against  the  Lord  of  heaven  ; 
and  they  have  brought  the  vessels  of  his  house  before  thee, 
and  thou  and  thy  lords,  thy  wives  and  thy  concubines, 
have  drunk  wine  in  them;  and  thou  hast  praised  the  gods 
of  silver,  and  gold,  of  brass,  iron,  wood,  and  stone,  "whicl 
see  not,  nor  hear,  nor  know :  and  the  God  in  whose  hand, 
thy  breath  is,  ''and  whose  are  all  thy  ways,  hast  thou  not 
glorified : 

24  Then  was  the  part  of  the  hand  sent  from  him;  and  this 
writing  was  written. 

25  ^[And  this  is  the  writing  that  was  written,  ME'NE, 
ME'NE,  TE'KEL,  U-PHAR'SIN. 

26  This  is  the  interpretation  of  the  thing:  ME'NE;  God 
hath  numbered  thy  kingdom,  and  finished  it. 

27  TE'KEL;  'Thou  art  weighed  in  the  balances,  and  art 
found  wanting. 

28  PE'RES;  Thy  kingdom  is  divided,  and  given  to  the 
■'Medes  and  'Per'si-ans. 

29  Then  commanded  Bel-shaz'zar,  and  they  clothed  Dan'iel 
with  scarlet,  and  'put  a  chain  of  gold  about  his  neck,  and 
made  a  proclamation  concerning  him,  'that  he  should  be 
the  third  ruler  in  the  kingdom. 

30  li 'In  that  night  was  Bel-shaz'zar  the  king  of  the  Chal- 
de'ans  slain. 

31  *And  Da-ri'us  the  Me'di-an  took  the  kingdom,  \beinff 
II  about  threescore  and  two  years  old. 


dark  sentences,  and  dissolving  of  doubts,  were  found 
in  the  same  Dan'iel,  whom  the  king  named  Bel-te- 
shaz'zar.  Now  let  Dan'iel  be  called,  and  he  will  shew 
the  interpretation. 

13  Then  was  Dan'iel  brought  in  before  the  king. 
The  king  spake  and  said  unto  Dan'iel,  Art  thou 
that  Dan'iel,  which  art  of  the  children  of  the  cap- 
tivity of  Ju'dah,  whom  the  king  my  father  brought 

14out  of  Ju'dah?  I  have  heard  of  thee,  that  the  spirit 
of  the  gods  is  in  thee,  and  that  light  and  under- 
standing  and   excellent  wisdom    is  found    in   thee. 

15  And  now  the  wise  men,  the  enchanters,  have  been 
brought  in  before  me,  that  they  should  read  this  writ- 
ing, and  make  known  unto  me  the  interpretation 
thereof:  but  they  could  not  shew  the  interpretation 

16  of  the  thing.  But  I  have  heard  of  thee,  that  thou 
canst  give  interpretations,  and  dissolve  doubts :  now 
if  thou  canst  read  the  writing,  and  make  known  to 
me  the  interpretation  thereof,  thou  shalt  be  clothed 
with  purple,  and  have  a  chain  of  gold  about  thy 
neck,  and   shalt    'be   the   third    ruler   in   the    king- 

17dom.  Then  Dan'iel  answered  and  said  before  the 
king.  Let  thy  gifts  be  to  thyself,  and  give  thy  re- 
wards to  another;  nevertheless  I  will  read  the 
writing    unto   the    king,  and    make  known   to   him 

1 8  the  interpretation.  O  thou  king,  the  Most  High 
■God  gave  Neb-u-chad-nez'zar  thy  fiither  the  kingdom, 

19 and  greatness,  and  glory,  and  majesty:  and  because 
of  the  greatness  that  he  gave  him,  all  the  peoples, 
nations,  and  languages  trembled  and  feared  before 
him :  whom  he  would  he  slew,  and  whom  he  would 
he  kept  alive;  and  whom  he  would   he    raised  up, 

20  and  whom  he  would  he  put  down.  But  when  his 
heart  was  lifted  up,  and  his  spirit  was  hardened  that 
he  dealt  proudly,  he  was  deposed  from  his  kingly 

21  throne,  and  they  took  his  glory  from  him :  and  he 
was  driven  from  the  sons  of  men;  and  his  heart 
was  made  like  the  beasts,  and  his  dwelling  was  with 
the  wild  asses;  he  was  fed  with  grass  like  oxen, 
and  his  body  was  wet  with  the  dew  of  heaven : 
until  he  knew  that  the  Most  High  God  ruleth  in 
the  kingdom  of  men,  and  that  he  setteth  up  over  it 

22  whomsoever  he  will.  And  thou  his  son,  O  Bel- 
shaz'zar,  hast  not  humbled  thine  heart,  though  thou 

23  knewest  all  this ;  but  hast  lifted  up  thyself  against 
the  Lord  of  heaven ;  and  they  have  brought  the 
vessels  of  his  house  before  thee,  and  thou  and  thy 
lords,  thy  wives  and  thy  concubines,  have  drunk 
wine  in  them;  and  thou  hast  praised  the  gods  of 
silver,  and  gold,  of  brass,  iron,  wood,  and  stone, 
which  see  not,  nor  hear,  nor  know :  and  the  God  in 
whose   hand  thy  breath   is,  and  whose  are  all   thy 

24  ways,  hast  thou  not  glorified :  then  was  the  part  of 
the  hand  sent  from  before  him,  and  this  writing  was 

25inscribed.      And   this  is  the  writing  that   was  in- 

26  scribed,  ^me'ne,  me'ite,  te'kel,  u-phar'sin.  This  is 

the  interpretation  of  the  thing :    me'ne  ;  God  hath 

numbered  thy  kingdom,  and  brought  it  to  an  end. 

27 te'kel;  thou  art  weighed  in  the  balances,  and  art 

28  found  wanting,  'pe'res  ;  thy  kingdom  is  divided,  and 

29  given  to  the  Medes  and  Per'si-ans.  Then  commanded 
Bel-shaz'zar,  and  they  clothed  Dan'iel  with  jmrple, 
and  put  a  chain  of  gold  about  his  neck,  and  made 
proclamation  concerning  him,  that  he  should  'be  the 

30  third   ruler   in    the   kingdom.     In  that  night   Bel- 

31  shaz'zar  the  Chal-de'an  king  was  slain.  And  Da-ri'us 
the  Mede  received  the  kingdom,  being  about  three- 
score and  two  years  old.

CHAPTER   VI. 

Daniel*  s  pre/erment ;  cast  into  the  den  of  lions  ;  he  ts  miraculously  saved. 

IT  pleased  Da-ri'us  to  set  "over  the  kingdom  a  hundred  and 
twenty  princes,  which  should  be  over  the  whole  kingdom  ; 

2  And  over  these  three  presidents ;  of  whom  Dan'iel  was 
first:  that  the  princes  might  give  accounts  unto  them,  and 
the  king  should  have  no  damage. 

3  Then  this  Dan'iel  was  preferred  above  the  presidents  and 

Erinces,  ''because   an  excellent  spirit  was  in  him ;  and  the 
ing  thought  to  set  him  over  the  whole  realm. 

4  '"[["Then  the  presidents  and  princes  sought  to  find  occa- 
sion against  Dan'iel  concerning  the  kingdom;  but  they 
could  find  none  occasion  nor  fault;  forasmuch  as  he  wa« 
faithful,  neither  was  there  any  error  or  fault  found  in  him. 

5  Then  said  these  men,  We  shall  not  find  any  occasion 
against  this  Dan'iel,  except  we  find  it  against  him  concern- 
ing the  law  of  his  God. 

6  Then  these  presidents  and  princes  ||  assembled  together 
to  the  king,  and  said  thus  unto  him,  ''King  Da-ri'us,  live  for 
ever. 

7  All  the  presidents  of  the  kingdom,  the  governors,  and 
the  princes,  the  counsellors,  and  the  captains,  have  consulted 
together  to  establish  a  royal  statute,  and  to  make  a  firm 
1 1  decree,  that  whosoever  shall  ask  a  petition  of  any  God  or 
man  for  thirty  days,  save  of  thee,  O  king,  he  shall  be  cast 
into  the  den  of  lions. 

8  Now,  O  king,  establish  the  decree,  and  sign  the  writing, 
that  it  be  not  changed,  according  to  the  'law  of  the  Medes 
and  Per'si-ans,  which  faltereth  not. 

9  WhereforekingDa-ri'us  signed  the  writing  and  the  decree. 

10  Now  when  Dan'iel  knew  that  the  writing  was  signed, 
he  went  into  his  house :  and,  his  windows  being  open  in 
his  chamber -^toward  Je-ru'sa-lem,  he  kneeled  upon  his  knees 
"three  times  a  day,  and  prayed,  and  gave  thanks  before  his 
God,  as  he  did  aforetime. 

1 1  Then  these  men  assembled,  and  found  Dan'iel  praying 
and  making  supplication  before  his  God. 

1 2  ''Then  they  came  near,  and  spake  before  the  king  con- 
cerning the  king's  decree ;  Hast  thou  not  signed  a  decree, 
that  every  man  that  shall  ask  a  'petition  of  any  God  or  man 
within  thirty  days,  save  of  thee,  O  king,  shall  be  cast  into 
the  den  of  lions  ?  The  king  answered  and  said.  The  thing 
is  true,  ^according  to  the  law  of  the  Medes  and  Per'si-ans, 
which  altereth  not. 

13  Then  answered  they  and  said  before  the  king,  That 
Dan'iel,  *which  is  of  the  children  of  the  captivity  of  Ju'dah, 
'regardeth  not  thee,  O  king,  nor  the  decree  that  thou  hast 
signed,  but  maketh  his  petition  three  times  a  day. 

14  Then  the  king,  when  he  heard  ihest  words,  "was  sore 
displeased  with  himself,  and  set  Ms  heart  on  Dan'iel  to  de- 
liver him :  and  he  laboured  till  the  going  down  of  the  sun 
to  deliver  him. 

15  Then  these  men  a.ssembled  unto  the  king,  and  said 
unto  the  king.  Know,  O  king,  that  "the  law  of  the  Medes 
and  Per'si-ans  is,  That  no  decree  nor  statute  which  the  king 
establisheth  may  be  changed. 

16  Then  the  king  commanded,  and  they  brought  Dan'iel, 
and  cast  him  into  the  den  of  lions.  Now  the  king  spake 
and  said  unto  Dan'iel,  Thy  God  whom  thou  servest  contin- 
ually, he  will  deliver  thee. 

1 7  "And  a  stone  was  brought,  and  laid  upon  the  mouth  of 
the  den;  "and  the  king  sealed  it  with  his  own  signet,  and 
with  the  signet  of  his  iDrds ;  that  the  purpose  might  not  be 
changed  concerning  Dan'iel. 

18  ^Then  the  king  Avent  to  his  palace,  and  passed  the 
night  fasting:  neither  were  ||  instruments  of  music  brought 
before  him :  "and  his  sleep  went  from  him. 

19  Then  the  king  arose  very  early  in  the  'morning,  and 
"went  in  haste  unto  the  den  of  lions. 


V  It  pleased  Da-ri'us,  to  set  overthe  kingdom  an  hun- 
dred and  twenty  satraps,  which  should  be  throughout 

2  the  whole  kingdom ;  and  over  them  three  presidents, 
of  whom  Dan'iel  was  one ;  that  these  satraps  might 
give  account  unto  them,  and  that  the  king  should 

3  have  no  damage.  Then  this  Dan'iel  was  distinguished 
above  the  presidents  and  the  satraps,  because  an  ex- 
cellent spirit  was  in  him  ;  and  the  king  thought  to  set 

4  him  over  the  whole  realm.  Then  the  presidents  and 
the  satraps  sought  to  find  occasion  against  Dan'iel  as 
touching  the  kingdom;  but  they  could  find  none  oc- 
casion nor  fault;  forasmuch  as  he  was  faithful,  neither 

5  was  there  any  error  orfault  found  in  him.  Then  said 
these  men.  We  shall  not  find  any  occasion  against 
this  Dan'iel,  except  we  find  it  against  him  concern- 

6  ing  the  law  of  his  God.  Then  these  presidents  and 
satraps  'assembled  together  to   the    king,  and    said 

7  thus  unto  him,  King  Da-ri'us,  live  for  ever.  All  the 
presidents  of  the  kingdom,  the  deputies  and  the 
satraps,  the  counsellors  and  the  governors,  have 
consulted  together  ^to  establish  a  royal  statute,  and 
to  make  a  strong  interdict,  that  whosoever  shall 
ask  a  petition  of  any  god  or  man  for  thirty  days, 
save  of  thee,  O  king,  he  shall  be  cast  into  the  den 

8  of  lions.  Now,  O  king,  establish  the  interdict,  and 
sign  the  writing,  that  it  be  not  changed,  according 
to  the  law  of  the  Medes  and  Per'si-ans,  which  'alter- 

9  eth  not.     Wherefore  king  Da-ri'us  signed  the  writing 
10 and  the   interdict.     And   when   Dan'iel   knew  that 

the  writing  was  signed,  he  went  into  his  house ; 
(now  his  windows  were  open  in  his  chamber  toward 
Je-ru'sa-lem ;)  and  he  kneeled  upon  his  knees  three 
times  a   day,  and  prayed,  and   gave  thanks  before 

11  his  God,  as  he  did  aforetime.  Then  these  men  as- 
sembled together,  and  found  Dan'iel  making  peti- 

12tion  and  supplication  before  his  God.  Then  they 
came  near,  and  spake  before  the  king  concerning 
the  king's  interdict;  Hast  thou  not  signed  an  in- 
terdict, that  every  man  that  shall  make  petition 
unto  any  god  or  man  within  thirty  days,  save  unto 
thee,  O  king,  shall  be  cast  into  the  den  of  liofas? 
The  king  answered  and  said.  The  thing  is  true,  ac- 
cording to  the   law  of  the    Medes   and   Per'si-ans, 

13  which  Altereth  not.  Then  answered  they  and  said 
before  the  king,  That  Dan'iel,  which  is  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  captivity  of  Ju'dah,  regardeth  not  thee, 
O  king,  nor  the  interdict  that  thou  hast  signed,  but 

14  maketh  his  petition  three  times  a  day.  Then  the 
king,  when  he  heard  these  words,  was  sore  dis- 
pleased, and  set  his  heart  on  Dan'iel  to  deliver  him  : 

,    and  he  laboured  till  the  going  down  of  the  sun  to 

15  rescue  him.  Then  these  men  assembled  together 
unto  the  king,  and  said  unto  the  king.  Know,  O 
king,  that  it  is  a  law  of  the  Medes  and  Per'si-ans, 
that  no  interdict  nor  statute   which  the  king  estab- 

161isheth  may  be  changed.  Then  the  king  com- 
manded, and  they  brought  Dan'iel,  and  cast  him 
into  the  den  of  lions.  Now  the  king  spake  and 
said  unto  Dan'iel,  Thy  God  whom  ihou  servest  con- 

17tinually,  he  will  deliver  thee.  And  a  stone  was 
brought,  and  laid  upon  the  mouth  of  the  den ;  and 
the  king  sealed  it  with  his  own  signet,  and  with  the 
signet  of  his  lords ;  Hhat  nothing  might  be  changed 

18  concerning  Dan'iel.  Then  the  king  went  to  his  palace, 
and  passed  the  night  fasting  :  neither  were  'instru- 
mente  of  music  brought  before  him:  and   his  sleep 

19  fled  from  him.  Then  the_  king  arose  very  early  in 
the  morning,  and  went  in  haste  unto  the  den  of  lions.

20  And  when  he  came  to  the  den,  he  cried  with  a  lament- 
able voice  unto  Dan'iel:  and  the  king  spake  and  said  to 
Dan'iel,  O  Dan'iel,  servant  of  the  living  God,  'is  thy  God, 
whom  thou  servest  continually,  able  to  deliver  thee  from 
the  lions? 

21  Then  said  Dan'iel  unto  the  king,  "O  king,  live  for  ever. 

22  'My  God  hath  sent  his  angel,  and  hath  "shut  the  lions' 
mouths,  that  they  have  not  hurt  me:  forasmuch  as  before 
him  innocency  was  found  in  me;  and  also  before  thee,  O 
king,  have  I  done  no  hurt. 

23  Then  was  the  king  exceeding  glad  for  him,  and  com- 
manded that  they  ahould  take  Dan'iel  up  out  of  the  den.  So 
Dan'iel  was  taken  up  out  of  the  den,  and  no  manner  of  hurt 
was  found  upon  him,  ^because  he  believed  in  his  God. 

24  ^And  the  king  commanded,  "and  they  brought  those 
men  which  had  accused  Dan'iel,  and  they  cast  them  into  the 
den  of  lions,  them,  'their  children,  and  their  wives ;  and  the 
lions  had  the  mastery  of  them,  and  brake  all  their  bones  in 
pieces  or  ever  they  came  at  the  bottom  of  the  den. 

25  ^"Then  king  Da-ri'us  wrote  unto  all  people,  nations, 
and  languages,  that  dwell  in  all  the  earth ;  Peace  be  mul- 
tiplied unto  you. 

26  'I  make  a  decree.  That  in  every  dominion  of  my  king- 
dom men  ''tremble  and  fear  before  the  God  of  Dan'iel; 
''for  he  ts  the  living  God,  and  steadfast  for  ever,  and  his 
kingdom  that  which  shall  not  be  "destroyed,  and  his  do- 
minion shall  be  even  unto  the  end. 

27  He  delivereth  and  rescueth,  -'^and  he  worketh  signs  and 
wonders  in  heaven  and  in  earth,  who  hath  delivered  Dan'iel 
from  the  fpower  of  the  lions. 

28  So  this  Dan'iel  prospered  in  the  reign  of  Da-ri'us,  'and 
in  the  reign  of  *Cy'rus  the  Per'si-an. 

CHAPTER   VII. 

DanitVs  vision  of  four  beasts,  of  God^s  kingdom  ;  the  interpretation  thereof. 

IN  the  first  year  of  Bel-shaz'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon,  "Dan'- 
iel fhad  a  dream  and  ''visions  of  his  head  upon  his  bed : 
then  he  wrote  the  dream,  and  told  the  sum  of  the  |{  matters. 

2  Dan'iel  spake  and  said,  I  saw  in  my  vision  by  night,  and, 
behold,  the  four  winds  of  the  heaven  strove  upon  the  great  sea. 

3  And  four  great  beasts  "came  up  from  the  sea,  diverse  one 
from  another. 

4"  The  first  vsas  "like  a  lion,  and  had  eagle's  wings ;  I  be- 
held till  the  wings  thereof  were  plucked,  ||  and  it  was  lifted 
up  from  the  earth,  and  made  stand  upon  the  feet  as  a  man, 
and  a  man's  heart  was  given  to  it. 

5  'And  behold  another  beast,  a  second,  like  to  a  bear,  and 
II  it  raised  up  itself  on  one  side,  and  'il  had  three  ribs  in  the 
mouth  of  it  between  the  teeth  of  it:  and  they  said  thus  unto 
it,  Arise,  devour  much  flesh. 

6  After  this,  I  beheld,  and  lo  another,  like  e  leopard, 
which  had  upon  the  back  of  it  four  wings  of  a  fowl ;  the 
beast  had  also  -'four  heads;  and  dominion  was  given  to  it. 

7  After  this  I  saw  in  the  night  visions,  and  behold  'a 
fourth  beast,  dreadful  and  terrible,  and  strong  exceedingly ; 
and  it  had  great  iron  teeth :  it  devoured  and  brake  in  pieces, 
and  stamped  the  residue  with  the  feet  of  it :  and  it  was  di- 
verse from  all  the  beasts  that  were  before  it;  ''and  it  had  ten 
horns. 

8  I  considered  the  horns,  and,  behold,  *there  came  up 
among  them  another  little  horn,  before  whom  there  were 
three  of  the  first  horns  plucked  up  by  the  roots :  and,  be- 
hold, in  this  horn  were  eyes  like  the  eyes  *of  man,  'and  a 
mouth  speaking  great  things. 

9  ^""I  beheld  till  the  thrones  were  cast  down,  and  "the 
Ancient  of  days  did  sit,  "whose  garment  was  white  as  snow, 
and  the  hair  of  his  head  like  the  pure  wool :  his  throne  was 
like  the  fiery  flame,  'and  his  wheels  as  burning  fire. 

10  «A  fiery  stream  issued  and  came  forth  from  before  him: 
'thousand  thousands  ministered  unto  him,  and   ten   thou- 


20  And  when  he  came  near  unto  the  den  to  Dan'iel,  he 
cried  with  a  lamentable  voice :  the  king  spake  and 
said  to  Dan'iel,  O  Dan'iel,  servant  of  the  living  God, 
is  thy  God,  whom  thou  servest  continually,  able  to 

21  deliver  thee  from  the  lions  ?     Then  said  Dan'iel  unto 

22  the  king,  O  king,  live  for  ever.  My  God  hath  sent 
his  angel,  and  hath  shut  the  lions'  mouths,  and  they 
have  not  hurt  me:  forasmuch  as  before  him  inno- 
cency was  found  in  me ;  and  also  before  thee,  O  king, 

23  have  I  done  no  hurt.  Then  was  the  king  exceeding 
glad,  and  commanded  that  they  should  take  Dan'iel  up 
out  of  the  den.  So  Dan'iel  was  taken  up  out  of  the  den, 
and  no  manner  of  hurt  was  found  upon  him,  because 

24  he  had  trusted  in  his  God.  And  the  king  commanded, 
and  they  brought  those  men  which  had  accused  Dan'- 
iel, and  they  cast  them  into  the  den  of  lions,  them, 
their  children,  and  their  wives ;  and  the  lions  had 
the  mastery  of  them,  and  brake  all  their  bones  in 
pieces,  or  ever  they  came  at  the  bottom  of  the  den. 

25  Then  king  Da-ri'us  wrote  unto  all  the  peoples, 
nations,  and  languages,   that  dwell  in  all  the  earth  ; 

26  Peace  be  multiplied  unto  you.  I  make  a  decree, 
that  in  all  the  dominion  of  my  kingdom  men 
tremble  and  fear  before  the  God  of  Dan'iel :  for  he 
is  the  living  God,  and  stedfast  for  ever,  and  his 
kingdom  that  which  shall  not  be  destroyed,  and  his 

27  dominion  shall  be  even  unto  the  end  :  he  delivereth 
and  rescueth,  and  he  worketh  signs  and  wonders  in 
heaven  and  in  earth ;  who  hath    delivered    Dan'iel 

28  from  the  power  of  the  lions.  So  this  Dan'iel  pros- 
pered in  the  reign  of  Da-ri'us,  and  in  the  reign  of 
Cy'rus  the  Per'si-an. 

♦  In  the  first  year  of  Bel-shaz'zar  king  of  Bab'y-lon 
Dan'iel  'had  a  dream  and  visions  of  his  head  upon 
his    bed :    then  he  wrote  the  dream   and    told   the 

2  sum  of  the  matters.  Dan'iel  spake  and  said,  I  saw 
in  my  vision  by  night,  and,  behold,  the  four  winds 

3  of  the  heaven  brake  forth  upon  the  great  sea.  And 
four  great  beasts  came  up  from  the  sea,  diverse  one 

4  from  another.  The  first  was  like  a  lion,  and  had 
eagle's  wings  :  I  beheld  till  the  wings  thereof  were 
plucked,  and  it  was  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  and 
made  to  stand  upon  two  feet  as  a  man,  and  a  man's 

5  heart  was  given  to  it.  And  behold  another  beast,  a 
second,  like  to  a  bear,  and  ^it  was  raised  up  on  one 
side,  and  three  ribs  were  in  his  mouth  between  his 
teeth:   and   they   said  thus  unto  it.  Arise,    devour 

6  much  flesh.  After  this  I  beheld,  and  lo  another, 
like  a  leopard,  which  had  upon  the  back  of  it  four 
wings  of  a  fowl;    the  beast  had  also   four   heads; 

7  and  dominion  was  given  to  it.  After  this  I  saw  in 
the  night  visions,  and  behold  a  fourth  beast,  terrible 
and  'powerful,  and  strong  exceedingly;  and  it  had 
great  iron  teeth:  it  devoured  and  brake  in  pieces, 
and  stamped  the  residue  with  his  feet:  and  it  was 
diverse  from  all  the  beasts  that  were  before  it;  and 

8  it  had  ten  horns.  I  considered  the  horns,  and, 
behold,  there  came  up  among  them  another  horn, 
a  little  one,  before  wnich  three  of  the  first  horns 
were  plucked  up  by  the  roots:  and,  behold,  in  this 
horn  were  eyes  like  the  eyes  of  a  man,  and  a  mouth 

9  speaking  great  things.  I  beheld  till  thrones  were 
^placed,  and  one  that  was  ancient  of  days  did  sit: 
his  raiment  was  white  as  snow,  and  the  hair  of 
his   head   like    pure    wool;    his  throne   was   fiery 

10  flames,  and  the  wheels  thereof  burning  fire.  A  fiery 
stream  issued  and  came  forth  from  before  him :  thou- 
sand thousands  ministered  unto  him,  and  ten  thou-

sand  times  ten  thousand  stood  before  him :  'the  judgment 
was  set,  and  the  books  were  opened. 

11  I  beheld  then,  because  of  the  voice  of  the  great  words 
which  the  horn  spake :  'I  beheld  even  till  the  beast  was  slain, 
and  his  body  destroyed,  and  given  to  the  burning  flame. 

12  As  concerning  the  rest  of  the  beasts,  they  had  their 
dominion  taken  away :  yet  ftheir  lives  were  prolonged  for 
a  season  and  time. 

13  I  saw  in  the  night  visions,  and,  behold,  "one  like  the  Son 
of  man  came  with  the  clouds  of  heaven,  and  came  to  "the 
Ancient  of  days,  and  they  brought  him  near  before  him. 

14  "And  there  was  given  him  dominion,  and  glory,  and  a 
kingdom,  that  all  'people,  nations,  and  languages,  should 
serve  him  :  his  dominion  is  "an  everlasting  dominion,  which 
shall  not  pass  away,  and  his  kingdom  that  which  shall  not 
be  destroyed. 

15  %I  Dan'iel  'was  grieved  in  my  spirit  in  the  midst  of  my 
fbody,  and  the  visions  of  my  head  troubled  me. 

16  1  came  near  unto  one  of  them  that  stood  by,  and  asked 
him  the  truth  of  all  this.  So  he  told  me,  and  made  me 
know  the  interpretation  of  the  things. 

17  "These  great  beasts,  which  are  four,  are  four  kings, 
xchich  shall  arise  out  of  the  earth. 

18  But  ''the  saints  of  the  fMost  High  shall  take  the  king- 
dom, and  possess  the  kingdom  for  ever,  even  for  ever  and 
ever. 

19  Then  I  would  know  the  truth  of  'the  fourth  beast, 
which  was  diverse  ffrom  all  the  others,  exceeding  dreadful, 
whose  teeth  were  of  iron,  and  his  nails  of  brass ;  which  de- 
voured, brake  in  pieces,  and  stamped  the  residue  with  his  feet ; 

20  And  of  the  ten  horns  that  were  in  his  head,  and  of  the 
other  which  came  up,  and  before  whom  three  fell ;  even  of 
that  horn  that  had  eyes,  and  a  mouth  that  spake  very  great 
things,  whose  look  was  more  stout  than  his  fellows. 

21  I  beheld,  -^and  the  same  horn  made  war  with  the  saints, 
and  prevailed  against  them ; 

22  "Until  the  Ancient  of  days  came,  'and  judgment  was 
given  to  the  saints  of  the  Most  Highj  and  the  time  came 
that  the  saints  possessed  the  kingdom. 

23  Thus  he  said,  The  fourth  beast  shall  be  *the  fourth 
kingdom  upon  earth,  which  shall  be  diverse  from  all  king- 
doms, and  shall  devour  the  whole  earth,  and  shall  tread  it 
down,  and  break  it  in  pieces. 

24  *And  the  ten  horns  out  of  this  kingdom  are  ten  kings 
that  shall  arise :  and  another  shall  rise  after  them ;  and  he 
shall  be  diverse  from  the  first,  and  he  shall  subdue  three 
kings. 

25  'And  he  shall  speak  great  words  against  the  Most 
High,  and  shall  "'wear  out  the  saints  of  the  Most  High,  and 
"think  to  change  times  and  laws:  and  "they  shall  be  given 
into  his  hand  ''until  a  time  and  times  and  the  dividing  of  time. 

26  "But  the  judgment  shall  sit,  and  they  shall  take  away 
his  dominion  to  consume  and  to  destroy  U  unto  the  end. 

27  And  the  "^kingdom  and  dominion,  and  the  greatness  of 
the  kingdom  under  the  whole  heaven,  shall  be  given  to  the 
people  of  the  saints  of  the  Most  High,  'whose  kingdom  is 
an  everlasting  kingdom,  'and  all  ||  dominions  shall  serve  and 
obey  him. 

28  Hitherto  is  the  end  of  the  matter.  As  for  me  Dan'iel, 
"my  cogitations  much  troubled  me,  and  my  countenance 
changed  in  me :  but  I  "'kept  the  matter  in  my  heart. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

DanteVs  vision  of  the  ram  and  he-goat. 

IN  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of  king  Bel-shaz'zar  a  vision 
appeared  unto  me,  even  unto  me  Dan'iel,  after  that  which 
appeared  unto  me  "at  the  first. 

2  And  I  saw  in  a  vision;  and  it  came  to  pass,  when  I  saw, 
that  I  teas  at  ''Shu'shan  in  the  palace,  which  is  in  the  province 
of  E'lam;  and  I  saw  in  avision,and  I  was  by  the  river  of  U'la-i. 


sand  times  ten  thousand  stood  before  him:  the 
judgment  was  set,  and  the  books  were  opened. 
HI  beheld  at  that  time  because  of  the  voice  of  the 
great  words  which  the  horn  spake;  I  beheld  even 
till   the   beast   was   slain,  and  his  body  destroyed, 

12  and  he  was  given  'to  be  burned  with  fire.  And  as 
for  the  rest  of  the  beasts,  their  dominion  was  taken 
away :  yet  their   lives  were   prolonged  for  a  season 

13  and  a  time.  I  saw  in  the  night  visions,  and,  behold, 
there  came  with  the  clouds  of  heaven  one  like  unto 
a  son  of  man,  and  he  came  even  to  the  ancient  of 

14  days,  and  they  brought  him  near  before  him.  And 
there  was  given  him  dominion  and  glory,  and  a 
kingdom,  that  all  the  peoples,  nations,  and  lan- 
guages should  serve  him:  his  dominion  is  an  ever- 
lasting dominion,  which  shall  not  pass  away,  and 
his  kingdom  that  which  shall  not  be  destroyed. 

15  As  for  me  Dan'iel,  my  spirit  was  grieved  in  the 
midst  of  ^my  body,  and  the  visions  of  my  head  trou- 

16  bled  me.  I  came  near  unto  one  of  them  that  stood  by, 
and  asked  him  the  truth  concerning  all  this.  So  he 
told  me,  and  made  me  know  the  interpretation  of  the 

17  things.     These  great  beasts,  which  are  four,  are  four 

18  kings,  which  shall  arise  out  of  the  earth.  But  the 
saints  of  the  Most  High  shall  receive  the  kingdom, 
and  possess  the  kingdom  for  ever,  even  for  ever  and 

19  ever.  Then  I  desired  to  know  the  truth  concerning 
the  fourth  beast,  which  was  diverse  from  all  of  them, 
exceeding  terrible,  whose  teeth  were  of  iron,  and  his 

.nails  of  brass;  which  devoured,  brake  in  pieces,  and 

20  stamped  the  residue  with  his  feet;  and  concerning  the 
ten  horns  that  were  on  his  head,  and  the  other  horn 
which  came  up,  and  before  which  three  fell;  even 
that  horn  that  had  eyes,  and  a  mouth  that  spake  great 
things,  whose  look  was  more  stout  than  his  fellows. 

21 1   beheld,   and    the  same  horn  made  war  with  the 

22  saints,  and  prevailed  against  them  ;  until  the  ancient 
of  days  came,  and  judgement  was  given  Ho  the 
saints  of  the  Most  High;  and  the  time  came  that 

23  the  saints  possessed  the  kingdom.  Thus  he  said. 
The  fourth  beast  shall  be  a  fourth  kingdom  upon 
earth,  which  shall  be  diverse  from  all  the  kingdoms, 
and  shall  devour  the  whole  earth,  and  shall  Hread  it 

24  down,  and  break  it  in  pieces.  And  as  for  the  ten 
horns,  ojt  of  this  kingdom  shall  ten  kings  arise : 
and  another  shall  arise  after  them ;  and  he  shall  be 
diverse  from  the  former,  and  he  shall  put  down  three 

25  kings.  And  he  shall  speak  words  against  the  Most 
High,  and  .shall  wear  out  the  saints  of  the  Most 
High :  and  he  shall  think  to  change  the  times  and 
the  law ;  and  they  shall  be  given  into  his  hand  until  a 

26  time  and  times  and  half  a  time.  But  the  judgement 
shall  sit,  and  they  shall  take  away  his  dominion,  to 

27  consume  and  to  destroy  it  unto  the  end.  And  the 
kingdom  and  the  dominion,  and  the  greatness  of  the 
kingdoms  under  the  whole  heaven,  shall  be  given  to 
the  people  of  the  saints  of  the  Most  High  :  Lis  king- 
dom is  an  everlasting  kingdom,  and  all  dominions 

28  shall  serve  and  obey  him.  'Here  is  the  end  of  the 
matter.  As  for  me  Dan'iel,  my  thoughts  much  trou- 
bled me,  and  my  'countenance  was  changed  in  me : 
but  I  kept  the  matter  in  my  heart. 

O  In  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of  king  Bel-shaz'zar  a 
vision  appeared  unto  me,  even  unto  me  Dan'iel,  after 

2  that  which  appeared  unto  me  at  the  fir.st.  And  I  saw  in 
the  vision  ;  now  it  was  so,  that  when  I  saw,  I  was  in 
Shu'shan  the  'palace,  which  is  in  the  province  of  E'lam ; 
and  I  saw  in  the  vision,  and  I  was  by  the  river  U'la-i.

3  Then  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and,  behold,  there 
stood  before  the  river  a  ram  which  had  tioo  horns :  and  the 
two  horns  were  high;  but  one  was  higher  than  fthe  other, 
and  the  higher  came  up  last. 

4  I  saw  the  ram  pushing  westward,  and  northward,  and 
southward;  so  that  no  beasts  migtit  stand  before  him, 
neither  was  there  any  that  could  deliver  out  of  his  hand ; 
■^but  he  did  according  to  his  will,  and  became  great. 

5  And  as  I  was  considering,  behold,  a  lie-goat  came  from 
the  west  on  the  face  of  the  whole  earth,  and  1|  touched  not 
the  ground :  and  the  goat  had  fa  notable  horn  between  his 
eyes'. 

6  And  he  came  to  the  ram  that  had  two  horns,  which  I 
had  seen  standing  before  the  river,  and  ran  unto  him  in  the 
fury  of  his  power. 

7  And  I  saw  him  come  close  unto  the  ram,  and  he  was 
moved  with  choler  against  him,  and  smote  the  ram,  and 
brake  his  two  horns :  and  there  was  no  power  in  the  ram 
to  stand  before  him,  but  he  cast  him  down  to  the  ground, 
and  stamped  upon  him;  and  there  was  none  that  could 
deliver  the  ram  out  of  his  hand. 

8  Therefore  the  he-goat  waxed  very  great :  and  when  he 
was  strong,  the  great  horn  was  broken ;  and  for  it  came  up 
'four  notable  ones  toward  the  four  winds  of  heaven. 

9  -^And  out  of  one  of  them  came  forth  a  little  horn,  which 
waxed  exceeding  great,  "toward  the  south,  and  toward  the 
ea.st,  and  toward  the  *pleasant  land. 

10  'And  it  waxed  great,  even  ||to  *the  host  of  heaven;  and 
'it  cast  down  some  of  the  host  and  of  the  stars  to  the  ground, 
and  stamped  upon  them. 

11  Yea,  ""he  magnified  himself  even  ||to  "the  prince  of  the 
host,  "and  ||by  him  ''the  daily  sacrifice  was  taken  away,  and 
the  place  of  his  sanctuary  was  cast  down. 

12  And  'II  a  host  was  given  him  against  the  daily  sacrifice 
by  reason  of  transgression,  and  it  cast  down  'the  truth  to 
the  ground ;  and  it  'practised,  and  prospered. 

13  ^Then  I  heard  "one  saint  speaking,  and  another  saint 
said  unto  Hfthat  certain  saint  which  spake.  How  long  shall 
be  the  vision  concerning  the  daily  sacrifice,  and  the  trans- 
gression of  II  desolation,  to  give  both  the  sanctuary  and  the 
host  to  be  trodden  under  foot? 

14  And  he  said  unto  me.  Unto  two  thousand  and  three 
hundred  fdays;  then  shall  the  sanctuary  be  fcleansed. 

15  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  I,  even  I  Dan'iel,  had  seen 
the  vision,  and  "sought  for  the  meaning,  then,  behold,  there 
stood  before  me  'as  the  appearance  of  a  man. 

16  And  I  heard  a  man's  voice  "between  the  banks  o/U'la-i, 
which  called  and  said,  'Ga'bri-el,  make  this  man  to  under- 
stand the  vision. 

17  So  he  came  near  where  I  stood;  and  when  he  came,  I 
was  afraid,  and  ''fell  upon  my  face :  but  he  said  unto  me, 
Understand,  O  son  of  man  :  for  at  the  time  of  the  end  shall 
be  the  vision. 

18  fNow  as  he  was  speaking  with  me,  I  was  in  a  deep 
sleep  on  my  face  toward  the  ground :  'but  he  touched  me, 
and  fset  me  upright. 

19  And  he  said.  Behold,  I  will  make  thee  know  what  shall 
be  in  the  last  end  of  the  indignation :  ■'^for  at  the  time  ap- 
pointed the  end  shall  be. 

20  "The  ram  which  thou  sawest  having  two  horns  are  the 
kings  of  Me'di-a  and  Per'si-a. 

21  *And  the  rough  goat  is  the  king  of  Gre'ci-a :  and  the 
great  horn  that  is  between  his  eves  'is  the  first  king. 

22  *Now  that  being  broken,  whereas  four  stood  up  for  it, 
four  kingdoms  shall  stand  up  out  of  the  nation,  but  not  in 
his  power. 

23  And  in  the  latter  time  of  their  kingdom,  when  the 
transgressors  fare  come  to  the  full,  a  king  "of  fierce  coun- 
tenance, and  understanding  dark  sentences,  "shall  stand  up. 


3  Then  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and,  behold, 
there  stood  before  the  river  a  ram  which  had  two 
horns :  and  the  two  horns  were  high ;  but  one  was 
higher  than  the  other,  and  the  higher  came  up  last. 

4 1  saw  the  ram  pushing  westward  and  northward,  and 
southward ;  and  no  beasts  could  stand  before  him, 
neither  was  there  any  that  could  deliver  out  of  his 
hand  ;  but  he  did  according  to  his  will,  and  magnified 

5  himself.  And  as  I  was  considering,  behold,  an  he- 
goat  came  from  the  west  over  the  face  of  the  whole 
earth,  and  'touched  not  the  ground:  and  the  goat  had 

6  a  notable  horn  between  his  eyes.  And  he  came  to 
the  ram  that  had  the  two  horns,  which  I  saw  standing 
before  the  river,  and  ran  upon  him  in  the  fury  of  his 

7  power.  And  I  saw  him  come  close  unto  the  i 
and  he  was  moved  with  choler  against  him,  and  smote 
the  ram,  and  brake  his  two  horns;  and  there  was  no 
power  in  the  ram  to  stand  before  him :  but  he  cast  him 
down  to  the  ground,  and  trampled  upon  him;  and 
there  was  none  that  could  deliver  the  ram  out  of  his 

8  hand.  And  the  he-goat  magnified  himself  exceedingly : 
and  when  he  was  strong,  the  great  horn  was  broken ; 
and  instead  of  it  there  came  up  four  notable  horns 

9  toward  the  four  winds  of  heaven.     And  out  of  one 
of  them  came  forth  a  little  horn,  which  waxed  ex 
ceeding    great,    toward    the  south,  and   toward   the 

10  east,  and  toward  the  glorious  land.  And  it  waxed 
great,  even  to  the  host  of  heaven ;  and  some  of  the 
host  and  of  the  stars  it  cast  down  to  the  ground,  and 

11  trampled  upon  them.  Yea,  it  magnified  itself,  even 
to  the  prince  of  the  host;  and  ^it  took  away  from 
him  the  continual  burnt  offering,  and  the  place   of 

12  his  sanctuary  was  cast  down.  And  *the  host  was 
given  over  to  it  together  with  the  continual  burnt 
offering  through  transgression;  and  it  cast  down 
truth  to  the  ground,  and  it  did  its  pleasure  and  proS' 

13pered.  Then  I  heard  a  holy  one  speaking;  and 
another  holy  one  said  unto  that  certain  one  which 
spake,  How  long  shall  be  the  vision  concerning  the 
continual  burnt  offering,  and  the  transgression  that 
maketh  desolate,  to  give  both  the  sanctuary  and  the 

14 host  to  be  trodden  under  foot?  And  he  said  *unto 
me.  Unto  two  thousand  and  three  hundred  evenings 
and  mornings;  then  shall  the  sanctuary  be  ''cleansed. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  I,  even  I  Dan'iel,  had 
seen  the  vision,  that  I  sought  *to  understand  it;  and, 
behold,  there  stood  before  me  as  the  appearance  of 

16  a  man.  And  I  heard  a  man's  voice  oetween  the 
banks  of  U'la-i,  which  called,  and  said,  Ga'bri-el,  make 

17  this  man  to  understand  the  vision.  So  he  came 
near  where  I  stood;  and  when  he  came,  I  was 
affrighted,  and  fell  upon  my  face :  but  he  said  unto 
me.  Understand,  O  son  of  man ;  for  the  vision  be- 

18  longeth  to  the  time  of  the  end.  Now  as  he  was 
speaking  with  me,  I  fell  into  a  deep  sleep  with  my 
face  toward  the  ground :  but  he  touched  me,  and  set 

19  me  'upright.  And  he  said.  Behold,  I  will  make  thee 
know  what  shall  be  in  the  latter  time  of  the  indig- 
nation :    for  it  belongeth  to  the  appointed  time  of 

20  the  end.  The  ram  which  thou  sawest  that  had  the 
two  horns,  they  are  the  kings  of  Me'di-a  and  Per'si-a. 

21  And  the  rough  he-goat  is  the  king  of  ^Greece :  and  the 
great  horn  that  is  between  his  eyes  is  the  first  king. 

22  And  as  for  that  which  was  broken,  in  the  place 
whereof  four  stood  up,  four  kingdoms  shall  stand  up 

23  out  of  the  nation,  but  not  with  his  power.  And  in  the 
latter  time  of  their  kingdom,  when  the  transgressors 
are  come  to  the  full,  a  king  of  fierce  countenance, 
and   understanding  dark  sentences,  shall  stand  up.

CHAPTER  IX. 

Daniel,  confessing  his  sins ,  prayeth  for  the  restoration  of  Jerusalem. 

IN  the  first  year  °of  Da-ri'us  the  son  of  A-has-u-e'rus,  of 
the  seed  of  the  Medes,  ||  which  was  made  king  over  the 
realm  of  the  Chal-de'aus; 

2  In  the  first  year  of  his  reign  I  Dan'iel  understood  by 
books  the  number  of  the  years,  whereof  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  'Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  that  he  would  accom- 
plish seventy  years  in  the  desolations  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  ^"And  I  set  my  face  unto  the  Lord  God,  to  seek  by  prayer 
and  supplications,  with  fasting,  and  sackcloth,  and  ashes : 

4  And  I  prayed  unto  the  LoED  my  God,  and  made  my 
confession,  and  said,  O  ''Lord,  the  great  and  dreadful  God, 
keeping  the  covenant  and  mercy  to  them  that  love  him, 
and  to  them  that  keep  his  commandments; 

5  'We  have  sinned,  and  have  committed  iniquity,  and  have 
done  wickedly,  and  have  rebelled,  even  by  departing  from 
thy  precepts  and  from  thy  judgments : 

6  -'^  Neither  have  we  hearkened  unto  thy  servants  the  proph- 
ets, which  spake  in  thy  name  to  our  kings,  our  princes, 
and  our  fathers,  and  to  all  the  people  of  the  land. 

7  O  Lord,  "righteousness  \^helongeih  unto  thee,  but  unto 
us  confusion  of  faces,  as  at  this  day ;  to  the  men  of  Ju'dah, 
and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  unto  all  Is'ra-el, 
that  are  near,  and  that  are  far  oflf,  through  all  the  countries 
whither  thou  hast  driven  them,  because  of  their  trespass 
that  they  have  trespassed  against  thee. 

8  O  Lord,  to  us  belongeth  "confusion  of  face,  to  our  kings, 
to  our  princes,  and  to  our  fathers,  because  we  have  sinned 
against  thee. 

9  'To  the  Lord  our  God  belong  hiercies  and  forgivenesses, 
though  we  have  rebelled  against  him ; 

10  ''Neither  have  we  obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lobd  our 
God,  to  walk  in  his  laws,  which  he  set  before  us  by  his 
servants  the  prophets. 

11  Yea,  'all  Is'ra-el  have  transgressed  thy  law,  even  by  de- 
parting, that  they  might  not  obey  thy  voice ;  therefore  the 
curse  is  poured  upon  us,  and  the  oath  that  is  written  in  the 
•"law  of  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  God,  because  we  have  sinned 
against  him. 

12  And  he  hath  "confirmed  his  words,  which  he  spake 
against  us,  and  against  our  judges  that  judged  us,  by  bring- 
ing upon  us  a  great  evil:  "for  under  the  whole  heaven  hath 
not  been  done  as  hath  been  done  upon  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

13  "As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  all  this  evil  is 
come  upon  us :  "yet  fniade  we  not  our  prayer  before  the 
LoED  our  God,  that  we  might  turn  from  our  iniquities,  and 
understand  thy  truth. 

14  Therefore  hath  the  Loed  •'watched  upon  the  evil,  and 
brought  it  upon  us :  for  'the  Lord  our  God  is  righteous  in 
all  his  works  which  he  doeth :  'for  we  obeyed  not  his  voice. 

15  And  now,  O  Lord  our  God,  "that  hast  brought  thy  peo- 
ple forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  with  a  mighty  hand, 
and  hast  fgotten  thee  "'renown,  as  at  this  day ;  "we  have 
sinned,  we  have  done  wickedly. 


24  And  his  power  shall  be  mighty,  but  not  'by  his  own 
power;  and  he  shall  destroy  wonderfully,  and  shall 
prosper  and  do  his  pleasure :  and  he  shall  destroy  the 

25  mighty  ones  and  'the  holy  people.  And  through  his 
policy  he  shall  cause  craft  to  prosper  in  his  hand  ;  and 
he  shall  magnify  himself  in  his  heart,  and  in  their  se- 
curity shall  he  Mestroy  many :  he  shall  also  stand  up 
against  the  prince  of  princes ;  but  he  shall  be  broken 

26  without  hand.  And  the  vision  of  the  evenings  and 
mornings  which  hath  been  told  is  true :  but  shut  thou 
up  the  vision  ;  for  it  belongeth  to  many  days  to  come 

27  And  I  Dan'iel  fainted,  and  was  sick  certain  days ; 
then  I  rose  up,  and  did  the  king's  business :  and  I 
was  astonished  at  the  vision,  ''but  none  understood  it, 

V  In  the  first  year  of  Da-ri'us  the  son  of  A-has-u-e'- 
rus, of  the  seed  of  the  Medes,  which  was  made  king 

2  over  the  realm  of  the  Chal-de'ans;  in  the  first  year 
of  his  reign  I  Dan'iel  understood  by  the  books  the 
number  of  the  years,  whereof  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  for  the  accomplish- 
ing of  the  desolations  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  even  seventy 

3  years.  And  I  set  my  face  unto  the  Lord  God,  Ho 
seek  by  prayer  and  supplications,  with    fasting,  and 

4  sackcloth,  and  ashes.  And  I  prayed  unto  the  Loed 
my  God,  and  made  confession,  and  said,  O  Lord,  the 
great  and  dreadful  God,  which  keepeth  covenant 
and  mercy  with  them  that  love   him  and   keep  his 

5  commandments ;  we  have  sinned,  and  have  dealt 
perversely,  and  have  done  wickedly,  and  have  re- 
belled, even   turning  aside   from   thy   precepts  and 

6  from  thy  judgements  :  neither  have  we  hearkened 
unto  thy  servants  the  prophets,  which  spake  in  thy 
name  to  our  kings,  our  princes,  and  our  fathers,  and 

7  to  all  the  people  of  the  laud.  O  Lord,  righteous- 
ness belongeth  unto  thee,  but  unto  us  confusion  of 
face,  as  at  this  day ;  to  the  men  of  Ju'dah,  and  to 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  unto  all  Is'ra-el, 
that  are  near,  and  that  are  far  off,  through  all  the  coun- 
tries whither  thou  hast  driven  them,  because  of 
their  trespass  that  they  have  trespassed  against  thee. 

8  O  Lord,  to  us  belongeth  confusion  of  face,  to  our 
kings,  to  our  princes,  and  to  our  fathers,  because 

9  we  have  sinned  against  thee.  To  the  Lord  our  God 
belong  mercies  and  forgivenesses;  'for  we  have  re- 

10 belled  against  him;  neither  have  we  obeyed  the 
voice  of  the  Loed  our  God,  to  walk  iu  his  laws, 
which  he  set  before  us  by  his  servants  the  prophets. 

1 1  Yea,  all  Is'ra-el  have  transgressed  thy  law,  even  turn- 
ing aside,  that  they  should  not  obey  thy  voice : 
therefore  hath  the  curse  been  poured  out  upon  us, 
and  the  oath  that  is  written  in  the  lawof  Mo'ses  the  serv- 

12 ant  of  God;  for  we  have  sinned  against  him.  And 
he  hath  confirmed  his  words,  which  he  spake  against 
us,  and  against  our  judges  that  judged  us,  by  bring- 
ing upon  us  a  great  evil :  for  under  the  whole  heaven 
•   hath  not  been  done  as  hath  been  done  upon  Je-ru'sa- 

13  lem.  As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  all  this 
evil  is  come  upon  us :  yet  have  we  not  intreated  the 
favour  of  the  Lord  our  God,  that  we  should  turn 
from  our  iniquities,  and  ^have   discernment   in   thy 

14 truth.  Therefore  hath  the  Lord  watched  over 
the  evil,  and  brought  it  upon  us:  for  the  Lord 
our  God  is  righteous   in  all   his  works  which   he 

15  doeth,  and  we  have  not  obeyed  his  voice.  And 
now,  O  Lord  our  God,  that  hast  brought  thy 
people  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt  with  a 
mighty  hand,  and  hast  gotten  thee  renown,  as  at 
this  day ;  we  have  sinned,  we  have  done  wickedly.

16  ^O  Lord,  according  to  all  thy  righteousness,  I  beseech 
thee,  let  thine  anger  and  thy  fury  be  turned  away  from  thy

'and  for  the  iniquities  of  our  fathers,  "Je-ru'sa-lem  and  thy 
people  ''are  become  a  reproach  to  all  that  are  about  us. 

17  Now  therefore,  O  our  God,  hear  the  prayer  of  thy 
servant,  and  his  supplications,  'and  cause  thy  face  to  shine 
upon  thy  sanctuary  ^that  is  desolate,  'for  the  Lord's  sake. 

18  ''O  my  God,  incline  thine  ear,  and  hear;  open  thine

called  by  thy  name :  for  we  do  not  fpresent  our  supplica- 
tions before  thee  for  our  righteousnesses,  but  for  thy  great

20  ^"And  while  I  was  speaking,  and  praying,  and  con-

senting my  supplication  before  the  Lord  my  God  for  the 
holy  mountain  of  my  God; 

21  Yea,  while  I  was  speaking  in  prayer,  even  the  man 
"Ga'bri-el,  whom  I  had  seen  in  the  vision  at  the  beginning, 
being  caused  to  fly  fswiftly,  "touched  me  "about  the  time

22  And  he  informed  me,  and  talked  with  me,  and  said,  O

derstanding. 

23  At  the  beginning  of  thy  supplications  the  tcom-

CHAPTER   X. 

Daniel^  having  humbled  himself,  seeth  a  vision, 

IN  the  third  year  of  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a  a  thing  was 
revealed  unto  Dan'iel,  "whose  name  was  called  Bel-te- 
shaz'zar ;  ""and  the  thing  was  true,  "but  the  time  appointed 
was  flong  '■  and  ''he  understood  the  thing,  and  had  under- 
standing of  the  vision. 

2  In  those  days  I  Dan'iel  was  mourning  three  ffi'll  weeks. 

3  I  ate  no  fpleasant  bread,  neither  came  flesh  nor  wine 
in  my  mouth,  neither  did  I  anoint  myself  at  all,  till  three 
whole  weeks  were  fulfilled. 

4  And  in  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the  first  month,  as 
I  was  by  the  side  of  the  great  river,  which  is  Hid'de-kel ; 

5  Then  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  looked,  and  behold  fa 
certain  man  clothed  in  linen,  whose  loins  were  girded  with 
fine  'gold  of  U'phaz: 


16  O  Lord,  according  to  all  thy  'righteousness,  let  thine 
anger  and  thy  fury,  I  pray  thee,  be  turned  away  from 
thy  city  Jesru'sa-lem,  thy  holy  mountain  :  because  for 
our  sins,  and  for  the  iniquities  of  our  fathers,  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem and  thy  people  have  become  a  reproach  to  all 

17  that  are  round  about  us.  Now  therefore,  O  our  God, 
hearken  unto  the  prayer  of  thy  servant,  and  to  his  sup- 
plications, and  cause  thy  face  to  shine  upon  thy  sanc- 

18  tuary  that  is  desolate,  for  the  Lord's  sake.  O  my  God, 
incline  thine  ear,  and  hear;  open  thine  eyes,  and  behold 
our  desolations,  and  the  city  which  is  called  by  thy 
name  ;  for  we  do  not  ^present  our  supplicatious  before 
thee  for  our  righteousnesses,  but  for  thy  great  mercies. 

19 O  Lord,  hear;  O  Lord,  forgive;  O  Lord,  hearken  and 
do;  defer  not;  for  thine  own  sake,  O  my  God,  be- 
cause thy  city  and  thy  people  are  called  by  thy  name. 

20  And  whiles  I  was  speaking,  and  praying,  and  con- 
fessing my  sin  and  the  sin  of  my  people  Is'ra-el,  and 
presenting  my  supplication  before  the  Lord  my  God 

21  for  the  holy  mountain  of  my  God;  yea,  whiles  I  was 
speaking  in  prayer,  the  man  Ga'bri-el,  whom  I  had  seen 
in  the  vision  at  the  beginning,  'being  caused  to  fly 
swiftly,  Houched  me  about  the  time  of  the  evening 

22  oblation.  And  he  'instructed  me,  and  talked  with  me, 
and  said,  O  Dan'iel,  I  am  now  come  forth  to  make  thee 

23  skilful  of  understanding.  At  the  beginning  of  thy  sup- 
plications the  commandment  went  forth,  and  I  am 
come  to  tell  thee ;  for  thou  art 'greatly  beloved;  there- 
fore consider  the  matter  and  understand  the  vision. 

24  Seventy  weeks  are  decreed  upon  thy  people  and  upon 
thy  holy  city,  'to  finish  'transgression,  and  Ho  make  an 
end  of  sins,  and  to  '"make  reconciliation  for  iniquity, 
and  to  bring  in  everlasting  righteousness,  and  to  seal 
up  vision  and  "prophecy,  and  to  anoint  'Hhe  most  holy. 

25  Know  therefore  and  discern,  that  from  the  going  forth 
of  the  commandment  to  restore  and  to  build  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  unto  "the  anointed  one,  the  prince,  shall  be  '*seven 
weeks:  and  threescore  and  two  weeks,  it  shall  be 
built  again,  with  street  and  moat,  even  in  troublous 

26  times.  And  after  the  threescore  and  two  weeks  shall 
the  anointed  one  be  cut  ofl^,  and  "shall  have  nothing: 
and  the  people  of  the  prince  that  shall  come  shall 
destroy  the  city  and  the  sanctuary  j  and  ''his  end 
shall  be  with  a  flood,  and  even  unto  the  end  shall 

27 be  war;  desolations  are  determined.  And  he  shall 
make  a  firm  covenant  with  many  for  one  week :  and 
"for  the  half  of  the  week  he  shall  cause  the  sacrifice 
and  the  "oblation  to  cease;  and  "upon  the  wing  of 
abominations  shall  come  one  that  maketh  desolate ; 
and  even  unto  the  consummation,  and  that  deter- 
mined, shall  wrath  be  poured  out  upon  the  ^desolator, 

Iv     In  the  third  year  of  Cy'rus  king  of  Per'si-a  a  thing 

was  revealed  unto  Dan'iel,  whose  name  was  called 

Bel-te-shaz'zar;  and  the  thing  was  true,  even  a  great 

warfare :  and  he  understood  the  thing,  and  had  un 

2derstanding  of  the  vision.     In  those  days  I  Dan'iel 

3  was  mourning  three  whole  weeks.  I  ate  no  pleasant 
bread  neither  came  flesh  nor  wine  in  my  mouth, 
neither  did  I  anoint  myself  at  all,  till  three  whole 

4  weeks  were  fulfilled.  And  in  the  four  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  first  month,  as  I  was  by  the  side  of  the 

5  great  river,  which  is  ^'Hid'de-kel,  I  lifted  up  mine 
eyes,  and  looked,  and  behold  a  man  clothed  in  linen, 
whose  loins  were  girded  with  pure  gold  of  U'phaz:

6  His  body  also  was  like  the  beryl,  and  his  face  ""as 
the  appearance  of  lightning,  "and  his  eyes  as  lamps  of  fire, 
and  his  arms  "and  his  feet  like  in  colour  to  polished  brass, 
"and  the  voice  of  his  words  like  the  voice  of  a  multitude. 

7  And  I  Dan'iel  'alone  saw  the  vision :  for  the  men  that 
were  with  me  saw  not  the  vision;  but  a  great  quaking 
fell  upon  them,  so  that  they  fled  to  hide  themselves. 

8  Therefore  I  was  left  alone,  and  saw  this  great  vision,  ""and 
there  remained  no  strength  in  me:  for  my  || 'comeliness  was 
turned  in  me  into  corruption,  and  I  retained  no  strength. 

9  Yet  heard  I  the  voice  of  his  words :  'and  when  I  heard 
the  voice  of  his  words,  then  -was  I  in  a  deep  sleep  on  my 
face,  and  my  face  toward  the  ground. 

10  T["And,  behold,  a  hand  touched  me,  which  fset  me 
upon  my  knees  and  upon  the  palms  of  my  hands. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  O  Dan'iel,  'fa  man  greatly 
beloved,  understand  the  words  that  I  speak  unto  thee,  and 
fstand  upright:  for  unto  thee  am  I  now  sent.  And  when 
he  had  spoken  this  word  unto  me,  I  stood  trembling. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  "Fear  not,  Dan'iel;  for  from  the 
first  day.  that  thou  didst  set  thine  heart  to  understand,  and 
to  chasten  thyself  before  thy  God,  'thy  words  were  heard, 
and  I  am  come  for  thy  words. 

13  "Butthe  prince  ofthe  kingdom  of  Per'si-awithstoodmeone 
and  twenty  days :  but,  lo,  'Mi'chael,  ||  one  ofthe  chief  princes, 
came  to  help  me;  and  I  remained  there  with  the  kings  of  Per'si-a. 

14  Now  I  am  come  to  make  thee  understand  what  shall  befall 
thy  people'in  the  latter  days:  ''for  yet  the  vision  is  for  many  days. 

15  And  when  he  had  spoken  such  words  unto  me,  'I  set 
my  face  toward  the  ground,  and  I  became  dumb. 

16  And,  behold,  -^one  like  the  similitude  of  the  sons  of 
men  "touched  my  lips:  then  I  opened  my  mouth,  and 
spake,  and  said  unto  him  that  stood  before  me,  O  my  lord, 
by  the  vision  *my  sorrows  are  turned  upon  me,  and  I  have 
retained  no  strength. 

17  For  how  can  ||the  servant  of  this  my  lord  talk  with 
this  my  lord?  for  as  for  me,  straightway  there  remained  no 
strength  in  me,  neither  is  there  breath  left  in  me. 

18  Then  there  came  again  and  touched  me  one  like  the 
appearance  of  a  man,  and  he  strengthened  me, 

19  And  said,  'O  man  greatly  beloved,  *fear  not:  peace  be 
unto  thee,  be  strong,  yea,  be  strong.  And  when  he  had 
spoken  unto  me,  I  was  strengthened,  and  said.  Let  my  lord 
speak;  for  thou  hast  strengthened  me. 

20  Then  said  he,  Kuowest  thou  wherefore  I  come  unto  thee  ? 
and  now  will  I  return  to  fight  'with  the princeof  Per'si-a:  and 
when  I  am  gone  forth,  lo,  the  prince  of  Gre'ci-a  shall  come. 

21  But  I  will  shew  thee  that  which  is  noted  in  the  scrip- 
ture of  truth :  and  there  is  none  that  fholdeth  with  me  in 
these  things,  "but  Mi'ehael  your  prince. 

CHAPTER    XI. 

7%^  overthrow  of  Persia  by  ihe  king  of  Grecia. 

ALSO  I  "in  the  first  year  of  ""Da-ri'us  the  Mede,  eren  I, 
stood  to  confirm  and  to  strengthen  him. 

2  And  now  will  I  shew  thee  the  truth.  Behold,  there 
shall  stand  up  yet  three  kings  in  Per'si-a;  and  the  fourth 
shall  be  far  richer  than  they  all :  and  by  his  strength  through 
his  riches,  he  shall  stir  up  all  against  the  realm  of  Gre'ci-a. 

3  And  "a  mighty  king  shall  stand  up,  that  shall  rule  with 
great  dominion,  and  ''do  according  to  his  will. 

4  And  when  he  shall  stand  up,  'his  kingdom  shall  be 
broken,  and  shall  be  divided  toward  the  four  winds  of 
heaven ;  and  not  to  his  posterity,  •''nor  according  to  his  do- 
minion which  he  ruled :  for  his  kingdom  shall  be  plucked 
up,  even  for  others  besides  those. 

5  "^And  the  king  of  the  south  shall  be  strong,  and  one  of 
his  princes;  and  he  shall  be  strong  above  him,  and  have 
dominion;  his  dominion  shall  he  a  great  dominion. 

6  And  in  the  end  of  years  they  fshall  join  themselves  to- 


6  his  body  also  was  like  the  beryl,  and  his  face  as  the 
appearance  of  lightning,  and  his  eyes  as  lamps  of  fire, 
and  his  arms  and  his  feet  like  in  colour  to  burnished 
brass,  and  the  voice  of  his  words  like  the  voice  of  a 

7  multitude.  And  I  Dan'iel  alone  saw  the  vision :  for  the 
men  that  were  with  me  saw  not  the  vision ;  but  a  great 
quaking  fell  upon  them,  and  they  fled  to  hide  them- 

8  selves.  So  I  was  left  alone,  and  saw  this  great  vision, 
and  there  remained  no  strength  in  me :  for  my  comeli- 
ness was  turned  in  me  into  corruption,  and  I  retained 

9  no  strength.  Yet  heard  I  the  voice  of  his  words :  and 
when  I  heard  the  voice  of  his  words,  then  was  I  fallen 
into  a  deep  sleep  on  my  face,  with  my  face  toward  the 

10  ground.  And,  behold,  a  hand  touched  me,  which  'set 
me  upon  my  knees  and  upon  the  palms  of  my  hands. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  O  Dan'iel,  thou  man  greatly  be- 
loved, understand  the  words  that  I  speak  unto  thee, 
and  stand  upright ;  for  unto  thee  am  I  now  sent :  and 
when  he  had  spoken  this  word  unto  me,  I  stood  trem 

12bling.  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Fear  not,  Dan'iel;  for 
from  the  first  day  that  thou  didst  set  thine  heart  to  un- 
derstand, and  to  humble  thyself  before  thy  God,  thy 
words  were  heard  :  and  I  am  come  for  thy  words'  sake. 

13  But  the  prince  of  the  kingdom  of  Per'si-a  withstood 
me  one  and  twenty  days ;  but,  lo,  Mi'ehael,  one  of 
the  chief  princes,  came  to  help  me :   and  I  ^remained 

14  there  with  the  kings  of  Per'si-a.  Now  I  am  come  to 
make  thee  understand  what  shall  befall  thy  people 
in  the  latter  days:  for  the  vision  is  yet  for  many 

15  days.     And   when  he  had  spoken  unto  me  accord 
ing  to  these  words,  I  set  my  face  toward  the  ground, 

16  and  was  dumb.  And,  behold,  one  like  the  similitude 
of  the  sons  of  men  touched  my  lips  :  then  I  opened 
my  mouth,  and  spake  and  said  unto  him  that  stood 
before  me,  O  my  lord,  by  reason  of  the  vision  my  sor- 
rows are  turned  upon  me,  and  I  retain  no  strength 

17  For  how  can  the  servant  of  this  my  lord  talk  with  this 
my  lord?  for  as  for  me,  straightway  there  remained 
no  strength  in  me,  neither  was  there  breath  left  in  me 

18  Then  there  touched  me  again  one  like  the  appearance 

19  of  a  man,  and  he  strengthened  me.  And  he  said,  O 
man  greatly  beloved,  fear  not :  peace  be  unto  thee,  be 
strong,  yea,  be  strong.     And  when  he  spake  unto  me, 

.    I  was  strengthened,  and  said.  Let  my  lord  speak  ;  for 

20  thou  hast  strengthened  me.  Then  said  he,  Know- 
est  thou  wherefore  I  am  come  unto  thee?  and  now 
will  I  return  to  fight  with  the  prince  of  Per'si-a :  and 
when  I  go  forth,    lo_,  the  prince    of  'Greece    shall 

21  come.  But  I  will  tell  thee  that  which  is  inscribed  in 
the  writing  of  truth :  and  there  is  none  that  *holdeth 
with  me  'against  these,  but  Mi'ehael  your  prince 
And  as  for  me,  in  the  first  year  of  Da-ri'us  the  Mede, 

I  stood  up  to  confirm  and  strengthen  him. 

2  And  now  will  I  shew  thee  the  truth.  Behold, 
there  shall  stand  up  yet  three  kings  in  Per'si-a;  and 
the  fourth  shall  be  far  richer  than  they  all :  and 
when   he   is  waxed    strong  through  his   riches,  *he 

3  shall  stir  up  all  against  the  realm  of  ^Greece.  And 
a  mighty  king  shall  stand  up,  that  shall  rule  with 

4  great  dominion,  and  do  according  to  his  will.  And 
when  he  shall  stand  up,  his  kingdom  shall  be 
broken,  and  shall  be  divided  toward  the  four  winds 
of  heaven ;  but  not  to  his  posterity,  nor  according  to 
his  dominion  wherewith  he  ruled;  for  his  kingdom 

5  shall  be  plucked  up,  even  for  others  beside  these.  And 
the  king  of  the  south  'shall  be  strong,  and  one,  of  his 
princes ;  and  he  shall  be  strong  above  him,  and  have 
dominion;  his  dominion  shall  be  a  great  dominion. 

6  And  at  the  end  of  years  they  shall  join  themselves  to-

gether  |  for  the  king's  daugnter  of  the  south  shall  come  to  the 
king  of  the  north  to  make  fan  agreement:  but  she  shall  not  re- 
tain the  power  of  the  arm;  neither  shall  he  stand,  nor  his  arm: 
but  she  shall  be  given  up,  and  they  that  brought  her,  and  ||  he 
that  begat  her,  and  he  that  strengthened  her  in  these  times. 

7  But  out  of  a  branch  of  her  roots  shall  one  stand  up  ||in 
his  estate,  which  shall  come  with  an  army,  and  shall  enter 
into  the  fortress  of  the  king  of  the  north,  and  shall  deal 
against  them,  and  shall  prevail : 

8  And  shall  also  carry  captives  into  E'gypt  their  gods, 
with  their  princes,  and  with  ftheir  precious  vessels  of  silver 
and  of  gold ;  and  he  shall  continue  more  years  than  the 
king  of  the  north. 

9  So  the  king  of  the  south  shall  come  into  his  kingdom, 
and  shall  return  into  his  own  land. 

10  But  his  sons  || shall  be  stirred  up,  and  shall  assemble  a 
multitude  of  great  forces  :  and  one  shall  certainly  come,  "and 
overflow,  and  pass  through:  ||then  shall  he  return,  and  be 
stirred  up,  ''even  to  his  fortress. 

11  And  the  king  of  the  south  shall  be  moved  with  choler, 
and  shall  come  forth  and  fight  with  him,  even  with  the  king 
of  the  north :  and  he  shall  set  forth  a  great  multitude ;  but 
the  multitude  shall  be  given  into  his  hand. 

12  ^ndwhen  he  hath  taken  away  the  multitude,  his  heart 
shall  be  lifted  up ;  and  he  shall  cast  down  many  ten  thou- 
sands :  but  he  shall  not  be  strengthened  by  it. 

13  For  the  king  of  the  north  shall  return,  and  shall  set  forth 
a  multitude  greater  than  the  former,  and  shall  certainly  come 
fafter  certain  years  with  a  great  army  and  with  much  riches. 

14  And  in  those  times  there  shall  many  stand  up  against 
the  king  of  the  south :  also  fthe  robbers  of  thy  people  shall 
exalt  themselves  to  establish  the  vision ;  but  they  shall  fall. 

15  So  the  king  of  the  north  shall  come,  and  cast  up  a 
mount,  and  take  fthe  most  fenced  cities:  and  the  arms  of 
the  south  shall  not  withstand,  neither  fhis  chosen  people, 
neither  shall  there  be  any  strength  to  withstand. 

16  But  he  that  cometh  against  him  'shall  do  according  to 
his  own  will,  and  *none  shall  stand  before  him:  and  he 
shall  stand  in  the  Hfglorious  land,  which  by  his  hand  shall 
be  consumed. 

17  He  shall  also  'set  his  face  to  enter  with  the  strength  of 
his  whole  kingdom,  and  || upright  ones  with  him;  thus 
shall  he  do:  and  he  shall  give  him  the  daughter  of  women, 
fcorrupting  her:  but  she  shall  not  stand  on  his  side, 
"neither  be  for  him. 

18  After  this  shall  he  turn  his  face  unto  the  isles,  and  shall 
take  many :  but  a  prince  ffor  his  own  behalf  shall  cause 
fthe  reproach  oifered  by  him .  to  cease ;  without  his  own 
reproach  he  shall  cause  it  to  turn  upon  him. 

19  Then  he  shall  turn  his  face  toward  the  fort  of  his  own 
land:  but  he  shall  stumble  and  fall,  "and  not  be  found. 

20  Then  shall  stand  up  ||  in  his  estate  fa  raiser  of  taxes 
in  the  glory  of  the  kingdom :  but  within  few  days  he  shall 
be  destroyed,  neither  in  fanger,  nor  in  battle. 

21  And  liin  his  estate  "shall  stand  up  a  vile  person,  to  whom 
they  shall  not  give  the  honour  of  the  kingdom :  but  he  shall 
come  in  peaceably,  and  obtain  the  kingdom  by  flatteries. 

22  "And  with  the  arms  of  a  flood  shall  they  be  o-"!rflown 
from  before  him,  and  shall  be  broken ;  'yea,  also  the  prince 
of  the  covenant. 

23  And  after  the  league  made  with  him  'he  shall  work 
deceitfully :  for  he  shall  come  up,  and  shall  become  strong 
with  a  small  people. 

24  He  shall  enter  ||  peaceably  even  upon  the  fattest  places 
of  the  province;  and  he  shall  do  that  which  his  fathers  have 
not  done,  nor  his  fathers'  fathers;  he  shall  scatter  among 
them  the  prey,  and  spoil,  and  riches:  ^ea,and  he  shall ffore- 
cast  his  devices  against  the  strong  holds,  even  for  a  time. 

25  And  he  shall  stir  up  his  power  and  his  courage  against 


gether;  and  the  daughter  of  the  king  of  the  south  shall 
come  to  the  king  of  the  north  to  make  'an  agreement : 
but  sheshall  not  retain  thestrength  of  her  arm;  neither 
shall  he  stand,  nor  his  arm;  but  she  shall  be  given  up, 
and  they  that  brought  her,  and  he  that  begat  her,  and 

7  he  that  strengthened  her  in  those  times.  But  out  of  a 
shoot  from  her  roots  shall  one  stand  up  in  his  ^place, 
which  shall  come  ^unto  the  army,  and  shall  enter  into 
the  fortress  of  the  king  of  the  north,  and  shall  deal 

8  against  them,and  shall  prevail :  and  also  their  gods,with 
their  ^molten  images,  awd  with  their  goodly  vessels  of 
silver  and  of  gold,  shall  he  carry  captive  into  E'gypt; 
and  he  shall  'refrain  some  years  from  the  king  of  the 

9  north.  And  he  shall  come  into  the  realm  of  the  king 
of  the  south,  but  he  shall  return  into  his  own  land 

10  And  his  sons  shall  war,  and  shall  assemble  a  multi- 
tude of  great  forces,  'which  shall  come  on,  and  over- 
flow, and  pass  through :  and  Hhey  shall  return  and 

11  war,  even  to  his  fortress.  And  the  king  of  the  south 
shall  be  moved  with  choler,  and  shall  come  forth  and 
fight  with  him,  even  with  the  king  of  the  north :  and 
he  shall  set  forth  a  great  multitude,  and  the  multitude 

1 2  shall  be  given  into  his  hand.  And  the  multitude  shall 
*be  lifted  up,  and  his  heart  shall  be  exalted :  and  he 
shall  cast  down  tens  of  thousands,  but  he  shall  not 

13  prevail.  And  the  king  of  the  north  shall  return,  and 
shall  set  forth  a  multitude  greater  than  the  former; 
and  he  shall  come  on  at  the  end  of  the  times,  even  ^qf 
years,  with  a  great  army  and  with  much  substance 

14  And  in  those  times  there  shall  many  stand  up  against 
the  king  of  the  south :  also  the  children  of  the  violent 
amongthy  people  shall  lift  themselves  up  to  establish 

15  the  vision;  but  they  shall  fall.  So  the  king  of  thenorth 
shall  come,  and  cast  up  a  mount,  and  take  '"a  well 
fenced  city :  and  the  arms  of  the  south  shall  not  with- 
stand, neither  his  chosen  people,  neither  shall  there  be 

1 6  any  strength  to  withstand.  But  he  that  cometh  against 
him  shall  do  according  to  his  own  will,  and  none  shall 
stand  before  him ;  and  he  shall  stand  in  the  glorious 

1 7  land,  and  in  his  hand  shall  be  destruction.  And  he  shall 
set  his  face  to  come  with  the  strength  of  his  whole 
kingdom,  "and  'upright  ones  with  him ;  and  he  shall 
do  hisj^leasure :  and  he  shall  give  him  the  daughter  of 
women, 'Ho  corrupt  her;  but ''she  shall   not  stand, 

18  neither  be  for  him.  After  thisshall  he  turn  his  face  unto 
the  '*isles,  and  shall  take  many :  but  a  "prince  shall 
cause  the  reproach  oficred  by  him  to  cease ;  yea,  more- 
over, he  shall  cause  his  reproach  to  turn  upon  him. 

19  Then  he  shall  turn  his  face  toward  the  fortresses  of 
his  own  land  :  but  he  shall  stumble  and  fall,  and  shall 

20  not  be  found.  Then  shall  stand  up  in  his  ^place  one 
that  shall  cause  an  exactor  to  pass  through  the  glory 
of  the  kingdom :  but  within  few  days  he  shall  be  "de- 

21  stroyed,  neither  in  anger,  nor  in  battle.  And  in  his 
^place  shall  stand  up  a  contemptible  person,  to  whom 
they  had  not  given  the  honour  of  the  kingdom :  but 
he  shall  come  in  time  of  security,  and  shall  obtain  the 

22  kingdom  by  flatteries.  And  with  the  arms  of  a  flood 
shall  they  be  swept  away  from  before  him,  and  shall 
be  broken ;  yea,  also  the   prince  of  "the  covenant. 

23  And  after  the  league  made  with  him  he  shall  work  de- 
ceitfully: for  he  shall  come   up,  and    shall  become 

24  strong,  with  a  small  people.  In  time  of  security  shall 
he  come  even  upon  the  fattest  places  of  the  prov- 
ince ;  and  he  shall  do  that  which  his  fathers  have  not 
done,  nor  his  fathers'  fathers ;  he  shall  scatter  among 
them  prey,  and  spoil,  and  substance:  yea,  he  shall  devise 
his  devices  against  the  strong  holds,  even  for  a  time.

the  king  of  toe  south  •with  a  great  army :  and  the  king  of 
the  south  shall  be  stirred  up  to  battle  with  a  very  great 
and  mighty  army ;  but  he  shall  not  stand :  for  they  shall 
forecast  devices  against  him. 

26  Yea,  they  that  feed  of  the  portion  of  his  meat  shall 
destroy  him,  and  his  army  shall  'overflow :  and  many  shall 
fall  down  slain. 

27  And  both  these  kings'  fhearts  shall  be  to  do  mischief, 
and  they  shall  speak  lies  at  one  table ;  but  it  shall  not  pros- 
per :  for  "yet  the  end  shall  be  at  the  time  appointed. 

28  Then  shall  he  return  into  his  land  with  great  riches; 
and  "his  heart  sAoZ'  be  against  the  holy  covenant;  and  he 
shall  do  exploits,  and  return  to  his  own  land. 

29  At  the  time  appointed  he  shall  return,  and  come  toward 
the  south ;  'but  it  shall  not  be  as  the  former,  "or  as  the  latter. 

30  ^'For  the  ships  of  Chit'tim  shall  come  against  him : 
therefore  he  shall  be  grieved,  and  return,  and  have  indig- 
nation "against  the  holy  covenant :  so  shall  he  do ;  he  shall 
even  return,  and  have  intelligence  with  them  that  forsake 
the  holy  covenant. 

31  And  arms  shall  stand  on  hispart,'and  they  shall  pollute  the 
sanctuary  of  strength,  and  shall  take  away  the  daily  sacrifice, 
and  they  shall  place  the  abomination  that  ||  maketh  desolate. 

32  And  such  as  do  wickedly  against  the  covenant  shall 
he  II  corrupt  by  flatteries:  but  the  people  that  do  know  their 
God  shall  be  strong,  and  do  exploits. 

33  'And  they  that  understand  among  the  people  shall 
instruct  many :  *yet  they  shall  fall  by  the  sword,  and  by 
flame,  by  captivity,  and  by  spoil,  many  days. 

34  Now  when  they  shall  fall,  they  shall  be  holpen  with  a 
little  helj) :  but  many  shall  cleave  to  them  with  flatteries. 

35  And  some  of  them  of  understanding  shall  fall,  "to  try 
II  them,  and  to  purge,  and  to  make  them  white,  "even  to  the 
time  of  the  end :  ''because  it  is  yet  for  a  time  appointed. 

36  And  the  king  'shall  do  according  to  his  will ;  and  he 
shall  ''exalt  himself,  and  magnify  himself  above  every  god, 
and  shall  speak  marvellous  things  'against  the  God  of  gods, 
and  shall  prosper  'till  the  indignation  be  accomplished :  for 
that  that  is  determined  shall  be  done. 

37  Neither  shall  he  regard  the  God  of  his  fathers,  "nor 
the  desire  of  women,  ""nor  regard  any  god:  for  he  shall 
magnify  himself  above  all. 

38  II  But  fin  his  estate  shall  he  honour  the  God  of  ||  f  forces: 
and  a  god  whom  his  fathers  knew  not  shall  he  honour  with 
gold, and  silver,  and  with  precious  stones,  and  fpleasant  things. 

39  Thus  shall  he  do  in  the  fmost  strong  holds  with  a 
strange  god,  whom  he  shall  acknowledge  and  increase  with 
glory :  and  he  shall  cause  them  to  rule  over  many,  and  shall 
divide  the  land  for  fgain; 

40  "And  at  the  time  of  the  end  shall  the  king  of  the  south 
push  at  him :  and  the  king  of  the  north  shall  come  against 
him  Mike  a  whirlwind,  with  chariots,  "and  with  horsemen, 
and  with  many  ships ;  and  he  shall  enter  into  the  countries, 
'and  shall  overflow  and  pass  over. 

41  He  shall  enter  also  into  the  Hfglorious  land,  and  many 
countries  shall  be  overthrown  :  but  these  shall  escape  out  of 
his  iiand,  "even  E'dom  and  Mo'ab,  and  the  chief  of  the 
children  of  Am'mon. 

42  He  shall  fstretch  forth  his  hand  also  upon  the  coun- 
tries :  and  the  land  of  E'gypt  shall  not  escape. 

43  But  he  shall  have  power  over  the  treasures  of  gold  and 
of  silver,  and  over  all  the  precious  things  of  E'gypt:  and 
the  Lib'y-ans  and  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans  shall  be  ""at  his  steps. 

44  But  tidings  out  of  the  east  and  out  of  the  north  shall 
trouble  him :  therefore  he  shall  go  forth  with  great  fury  to 
destroy,  and  utterly  to  make  away  many. 

45  And  he  shall  plant  the  tabernacles  of  his  palace 
between  the  seas  in  'the  ||  fglorious  holy  mountain :  -'yet 
he  shall  come  to  his  end,  and  none  shall  help  him. 


the  king  of  the  south  with  a  great  army ;  and  the  king 
of  the  south  shall  war  in  Dattle  with  an  exceeding 
great  and  mighty  army :  but  he  shall  not  stand,  for 

26  they  shall  devise  devices  against  him.  Yea,  they  that 
eat  of  his  'meat  shall  ^destroy  him,  and  his  army  shall 

27  overflow;  and  many  shall  fall  down  slain.  Andasfbr 
both  these  kings,  their  hearts  shall  be  to  do  mischief, 
and  they  shall  speak  lies  at  one  table :  but  it  shall  not 
prosper ;  for  yet  the  end  shall  be  at  the  time  appointed. 

28  Then  shall  he  return  into  his  land  with  great  sub- 
stance ;  and  his  heart  shall  be  against  the  holy  cove- 
nant ;  and  he  shall  do  his  pleasure,  and  return  to  his 

29  own  land.  At  the  time  appointed  he  shall  return,  and 
come  into  the  south ;  but  it  shall  not  be  in  the  latter 

30  time  as  it  was  in  the  former.  For  ships  of  Kit'tim  shall 
come  against  him  ;  therefore  he  shall  be  grieved,  and 
shall  return,  and  have  indignation  against  the  holy 
covenant,  and  shall  do  his  pleasure :  he  shall  even  re- 
turn, and  have  regard  unto  them  that  forsake  the  holy 

31  covenant.  And  arms  shall  stand  on  his  part,  and  they 
shall  profane  the  sanctuary,  even  the  fortress,  and  shall 
take  away  the  continual  burnt  offering,  and  they  shall 

32  set  up  the  abomination  that  maketh  desolate.  And 
such  as  do  wickedly  against  the  covenant  shall  he  'per- 
vert by  flatteries :  but  the  people  that  know  their  God 

33  shall  be  strong,  and  do  exploits.  And  ''they  that  be  wise 
among  the  people  shall  instruct  many  :  yet  they  shall 
fall  by  the  sword  and  by  flame,  by  captivity  and  by 

34  spoil,  many  days.  Now  when  they  shall  fall,  they  shall 
be  holpen  with  a  little  help :  but  many  shall  join  them- 

35  selves  unto  them  with  flatteries.  And  some  of  Hhem 
that  be  wise  shall  fall,  to  refine  them,  and  to  purify, 
and  to  make  them  white,  even  to  the  time  of  the 

36 end:  because  it  is  yet  for  the  time  appointed.  And 
the  king  shall  do  according  to  his  will ;  and  he  shall 
exalt  himself,  and  magnify  himself  above  every  god,

of  gods:  and  he  shall  prosper  till  the  indignation

38  god :  for  he  shall  magnify  himself  above  all.  But 
in  his  'place  shall  he  honour  the  god  of  fortresses: 
and  a  god  whom  his  fathers  knew  not  shall  he 
honour    with    gold,  and   silver,  and    with   precious 

39  stones,  and  pleasant  things.  And  he  shall  deal  with 
the  strongest  fortresses  by  the  help  of  a  strange  god ; 
^whosoever  acknowledgeth  him  he  will  increase  with 
glory :  and  he  shall  cause  them  to  rule  over  many,  and 

40  shall  divide  the  land  for  a  price.  And  at  the  time  of 
the  end  shall  the  king  of  the  south  'contend  with  him : 
and  the  king  of  the  north  shall  come  against  him  like 
a  whirlwind,  with  chariots,  and  with  horsemen,  and 
with  many  ships ;  and  he  shall  enter  into  the  countries, 

41  and  shall  overflow  and  pass  through.  He  shall  enter 
also  into  the  glorious  land,  and  many  countries  shall

Michtui  shall  deliver  Israel  from  their  troubles. 

AND  at  that  time  shall  "Mi'chael  stand  up,  the  great  prince 
which  standeth  for  the  children  of  thy  people:  "and  there 
shall  be  a  time  of  trouble,  such  as  never  was  since  there  was  a 
nation  even  to  that  same  time :  and  at  that  time  thy  people  ''shall 
be  delivered,  every  one  that  shall  befound'^written  intne  book. 

2  And  many  of  them  that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth 
shall  awake,  'some  to  everlasting  life,  and  some  to  shame 
^and  everlasting  contempt. 

3  And  "they  that  be  |]  wise,  shall  *shine  as  the  brightness  of 
the  firmanent;  'and  they  that  turn  many  to  righteousness, 
*as  the  stars  for  evei'  and  ever. 

4  'But  thou,  O  Dan'iel,  "shut  up  the  words,  and  seal  the 
book,  even  to  "the  time  of  the  end :  many  shall  run  to  and 
fro,  and  knowledge  shall  be  increased. 

•5  ^Then  I  Dan'iel  looked,  and,  behold,  there  stood  other 
two,  the  one  on  this  side  of  the  fbank  of  the  river,  and  the 
other  on  that  side  of  the  bank  °of  the  river. 

6  And  one  said  to  "the  man  clothed  in  linen,  which  was 
II  upon  the  waters  of  the  river,  'How  long  shall  it  be  to  the 
end  of  those  wonders? 

7  And  I  heard  the  man  clothed  in  linen,  which  was  upon 
the  waters  of  the  river,  when  he  ''held  up  his  right  hand  and 
his  left  hand  unto  heaven,  and  sware  by  him  'that  liveth 
for  ever,  'that  it  shall  be  for  a  time,  times,  and  i|a  half;  "and 
when  he  shall  have  accomplished  to  scatter  the  power  of  ''the 
holy  people,  all  these  things  shall  be  finished. 

8  And  I  heard,  but  I  understood  not :  then  said  I,  O  my 
Lord,  what  shall  be  the  end  of  these  things  f 

9  And  he  said,  Go  thy  way,  Dan'iel :  for  the  words  are 
closed  up  and  sealed  "till  the  time  of  the  end. 

10  "Many  shall  be  purified,  and  made  white,  and  tried ;  "but 
the  wicked  shall  do  wickedly:  and  none  of  the  wicked 
shall  understand;  but  'the  wise  shall  understand. 

11  And  from  the  time  "that  the  daily  sacrifice  shall  be  taken 
away,  and  fthe  abomination  that  ||  maketh  desolate  set  up, 
there  shall  be  a  thousand  two  hundred  and  ninety  days. 

12  Blessed  is  he  that  waiteth,  and  cometh  to  the  thousand 
three  hundred  and  five  and  thirty  days. 

13  But  ''go  thou  thy  way  till  the  end  be :  \\  'for  thou  shalt 
rest,  -'and  stand  in  thy  lot  at  the  end  of  the  days=

4-^  And  at  that  time  shall  Mi'cnaei  stand  up,  the  great 
prince  which  standeth  for  the  children  of  thy  people : 
and  there  shall  be  a  time  of  trouble,  such  as  never  was 
since  there  was  a  nation  even  to  that  same  time :  and 
at  that  time  thy  people  shall  be  delivered,  every  one 

2  that  shall  be  found  written  in  the  book.  And  many 
of  them  that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth  shall 
awake,  some  to  everlasting  life,  and  some  to  shame 

Sand  everlasting  'contempt.  And  ^they  that  be  wise 
shall  shine  as  the  brightness  of  the  firmanent ;  and 
they  that  turn  many  to  righteousness  as  the  stars  for 

4  ever  and  ever.  But  thou,  O  Dan'iel,  shut  up  the  words, 
and  seal  the  book,  even  to  the  time  of  the  end :  many 
shall  run  to  and  fro,  and  knowledge  shall  be  increased. 

5  Then  I  Dan'iel  looked,  and,  behold,  there  stood  other 
two,  the  one  on  the  brink  of  the  river  on  this  side,  and 

6  the  other  on  the  brink  of  the  river  on  that  side.  And 
one  said  to  the  man  clothed  in  linen,  which  was  above 
the  waters  of  the  river.  How  long  shall  it  be  to  the 

7  end  of  these  wonders  ?  And  I  heard  the  man  clothed 
in  linen,  which  was  above  the  waters  of  the  river,  when 
he  held  up  his  right  hand  and  his  left  hand  unto 
heaven,  and  sware  by  him  that  liveth  for  ever  that  it 
shall  be  for  a  time,  times,  and  an  half;  and  when  they 
have  made  an  end  of  breaking  in  pieces  the  power  of 
the  holy  people,  all  these  things  shall  be  finished. 

8  And  I  heard,  but  I  understood  not :  then  said  I,  O 
my  lord,  what  shall  be  the  'issue   of  these  things? 

9  And  he  said,  Go  thy  way,  Dan'iel :  for  the  words  are 

10  shut  up  and  sealed  till  the  time  of  the  end.  Many 
shall  purify  themselves,  and  make  themselves  white, 
and  be  refined;  but  the  wicked  shall  do  wickedly; 
and  none  of  the  wicked  shall  understand  :  but  ^they 

11  that  be  wise  shall  understand.  And  from  the  time 
that  the  continual  burnt  offering  shall  be  taken  away, 
and  the  abomination  that  maketh  desolate  set  up, 
there  shall  be  a  thousand  two  hundred  and  ninety 

12  days.  Blessed  is  he  that  waiteth,  and  cometh  to  the 
thousand  three  hundred  and  five  and   thirty   days. 

13 But  go  thou  thy  way  till  the  end  be:  for  thou  shalt 
rest,  and  shalt  stand  in  thy  lot,  at  the  end  of  the  days.

committed  great  whoredom,  departing  from  the  Lord.

which  conceived,  and  bare  him  a  son.

The  idolatry  o/  the  people — God's  judgments  against  them. 

SAY  ye  unto  your  brethren,  ||  Am'mi;  and  to  your  sisters, 
||Ru'ha-mah. 

2  Plead  with  your  mother,  plead ;  for  "she  u  not  my  wife, 
neither  am  I  her  husband :  let  her  therefore  put  away  her 
'whoredoms  out  of  her  sight,  and  her  adulteries  from  be- 
tween her  breasts : 

3  Lest  'I  strip  her  naked,  and  set  her  as  in  the  day  that 
she  was  ''born,  and  make  her  "as  a  wilderness,  and  set  her 
like  a  dry  land,  and  slay  her  with  -thirst. 

4  And  I  will  not  have  mercy  upon  her  children ;  for  they 
he  the  "children  of  whoredoms. 

5  *For  their  mother  hath  played  the  harlot:  she  that  con- 
ceived them  hath  done  shamefully;  for  she  said,  I  will  go 
after  my  lovers,  'that  give  me  my  bread  and  my  water,  my 
wool  and  my  flax,  mine  oil  and  my  fdrink. 

6  ^Therefore,  behold,  *I  will  hedge  up  thy  way  with 
thorns,  and  fmake  a  wall,  that  she  shall  not  find  her  paths. 

7  And  she  shall  follow  after  her  lovers,  but  she  shall  not 
overtake  them ;  and  she  shall  seek  them,  but  shall  not  find 
them:  then  shall  she  say,  'I  will  go  and  return  to  my  "first 
husband ;  for  then  was  it  better  with  me  than  now. 

8  For  she  did  not  "know  that  "I  gave  her  corn,  and  fwine, 
and  oil,  and  multiplied  her  silver  and  gold,  \\which  they  pre- 
pared for  Ba'al. 

9  Therefore  will  I  return,  and  "take  away  my  corn  in  the 
time  thereof,  and  my  wine  in  the  season  thereof,  and  will 
II  recover  my  wool  and  my  flax  given  to  cover  her  nakedness. 

10  And  now  'will  I  discover  her  f  lewdness  in  the  sight  of 
her  lovers,  and  none  shall  deliver  her  out  of  mine  hand. 

11  'I  will  also  cause  all  her  mirth  to  cease,  her  'feast  days, 
her  new  moons,  and  her  sabbaths,  and  all  her  solemn  feasts. 

12  And  I  will  fdestroy  her  vines  and  her  fig  trees,  'whereof 
she  hath  said.  These  are  my  rewards  that  my  lovers  have 
given  me :  and  "I  will  make  them  a  forest,  and  the  beasts  of 
the  field  shall  eat  them. 

13  And  I  will  visit  upon  her  the  days  of  Ba'al-im,  wherein 
she  burned  incense  to  them,  and  she  ''decked  herself  with 
her  ear  rings  and  her  jewels,  and  she  went  after  her  lovers, 
and  forgat  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  Therefore,  behold,!  will  allure  her,  and  "bring  her  into 
the  wilderness,  and  speak  ||  fcomfortably  unto  her. 

15  And  I  will  give  her  her  vineyards  from  thence,  and  'the 
valley  of  A'chor  for  a  door  of  hope:  and  she  shall  sing 
there,  as  in  "the  days  of  her  youth,  and  ''as  in  the  day  when 
she  came  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt. 

16  And  it  shall  be  at  that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  that  thou 
shalt  call  me  j|  I'shi;  and  shalt  call  me  no  more  ||  Ba'al-i. 

17  For  'I  will  take  away  the  names  of  Ba'al-im  out  of  her 
mouth,  and  they  shall  no  more  be  remembered  by  their  name. 

18  And  in  that  day  will  I  make  a  ''covenant  for  them  with 
the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  with  the  fowls  of  heaven,  and 
with  the  creeping  things  of  the  ground ;  and  'I  will  break 


7  But  I  will  have  mercy  upon  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and 
will  save  them  by  the  Lord  their  God,  and  will  not 
save  them  by  bow,  nor  by  sword,  nor  by  battle,  by 

8  horses,  nor  by  horsemen.  Now  when  she  had 
weaned  Lo-ru'ha-mah,  she  conceived,  and  bare  a  son. 

9  And  the  Lord  said,  Call  his  name  'Lo-am'mi:  for  ye 
are  not  my  people,  and  I  will  not  be  ^your  God. 

10  Yet  the  number  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  be 
as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  which  cannot  be  measured 
nor  numbered ;  and  it  shall  come  to  pass  that,  'in  the 
place  where  it  was  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  not  my 
people,  it  shall  be  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  the  sons 

11  of  the  living  God.  And  the  children  of  Ju'dah  and 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  gathered  together, 
and    they    shall  appoint   themselves  one  head,  and 

2  shall  go  up  from  the  land:  for  great  shall  be  the  day 
of  Jez're-el.  Say  ye  unto  your  brethren,  ''Am'mi ; 
and  to  your  sisters,  'Ru'ha-mah. 

2  Plead  with  your  mother,  plead ;  for  she  is  not  my 
wife,  neither  am  I  her  husband:  and  let  her  put 
away  her  whoredoms  from  her  face,  and  her  adul- 

3teries  from  between  her  breasts;  lest  I  strip  her 
naked,  and  set  her  as  in  the  day  that  she  was  born, 
and  make  her  as  a  wilderness,  and  set  her  like  a  dry 

4  land,  and  slay  her  with  thirst ;  yea,  upon  her  children 
will  I  have  no  mercy ;  for  they  be  children  of  whore- 

5dom.  For  their  mother  hath  played  the  harlot: 
she  that  conceived  them  hath  done  shamefully :  for 
she  said,  I  will  go  after  my  lovers>  that  give  me  my 
bread  and  my  water,  my  wool  and  my  flax,  mine  oil 

6  and  my  Mrink.  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  hedge  up 
thy  way  with  thorns,  and  I  will  make  a  fence  against 

7  her,  that  she  shall  not  find  her  paths.  And  she 
shall  follow  after  her  lovers,  but  she  shall  not  over- 
take them ;  and  she  shall  seek  them,  but  shall  not 
find  them :  then  shall  she  say,  I  will  go  and  return  to 
my  first  husband ;    for  then  was  it  better  with  me 

8  than  now.  For  she  did  not  know  that  I  gave  her 
the  corn,  and  the  wine,  and  the  oil,  and  multiplied 
unto  her  silver  and  gold,  which  they  ^used  for  Ba'al. 

9  Therefore  will  I  ^take  back  my  corn  in  the  time 
thereof,  and  my  wine  in  the  season  thereof,  and  will 
pluck  away  my  wool  and  my  flax  which  should  have 

10  covered  her  nakedness.  And  now  will  I  discover  her 
'lewdness  in  the  sight  of  her  lovers,  and  none  shall 

11  deliver  her  out  of  mine  hand.  I  will  also  cause  all 
her  mirth  to  cease,  her  feasts,  her  new  moons,  and 

12  her  sabbaths,  and  all  her  "solemn  assemblies.  And 
I  will  lay  waste  her  vines  and  her  fig  trees,  whereof 
she  hath  said,  These  are  my  hire  that  my  lovers 
have  given  me :  and  I  will  make  them  a  forest,  and 

13  the  beasts  of  the  field  shall  eat  them.  And  I  will 
visit  upon  her  the  days  of  the  Ba'al-im,"unto  which  she 
burned  incense;  when  she  decked  herself  with  her

the  love  of  the  Lord  toward  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  who 
look  to  other  gods,  and  love  flagons  fof  wine. 

2  So  I  bought  her  to  me  for  fifteen  pieces  of  silver,  and/or 
a  homer  of  barley,  and  a  fhalf  homer  of  barley : 

3  And  I  said  unto  her.  Thou  shalt  "abide  for  me  many 
days ;  thou  shalt  not  play  the  harlot,  and  thou  shalt  not  be 
for  another  man :  so  will  I  also  be  for  thee. 

4  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  abide  many  days  ''without 
a  king,  and  without  a  prince,  and  without  a  sacrifice,  and  with- 
out fan  image,  and  without  an  "ephod,  and  without  ^teraT^hiva : 

5  Afterward  shall  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  return,  and 
"seek  the  Lord  their  God,  and  ''Da'vid  their  king ;  and  shall 
fear  the  Lord  and  his  goodness  in  the  'latter  days. 

CHAPTER   IV. 

God^s  judgments  against  the  sins  of  the  people,  &c. 

HEAK  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  children  of  Is'ra-el : 
for  the  Lord  hath  a  "controversy  with  the  inhabitants 
of  the  land,  because  there  is  no  truth,  nor  mercy,  nor  'knowl- 
edge of  God  in  the  land. 

2  By  swearing,  and  lying,  and  killing,and  stealing,  and  com- 
mitting adultery,  they  break  out,  and  fblood  toucheth  blood. 

3  Therefore  "^shall  the  land  mourn,  and  ''every  one  that 
dwelleth  therein  shall  languish,  with  the  beasts  of  the  field, 
and  with  the  fowls  of  heaven ;  yea,  the  fishes  of  the  sea 
also  shall  be  taken  away. 

4  Yet  let  no  man  strive,  nor  reprove  another:  for  thy 
people  are  as  they  'that  strive  with  the  priest. 

5  Therefore  shalt  thou  fall  ^in  the  day,  and  the  prophet  also 
shall  fall  with  thee  in  the  night,andl  will  fdestroy  thy  mother. 

8  ^"My  people  are  fdcstroyed  for  lack  of  knowledge : 
because  thou  hast  rejected  knowledge,  I  will  also  reject 
thee,  that  thou  shalt  be  no  priest  to  me :  seeing  thou  hast 
forgotten  the  law  of  thy  God,  I  will  also  forget  thy  children. 

7  *A8  they  were  increased,  so  they  sinned  against  me: 
therefore  will  I  change  their  glory  into  shame. 

8  They  eat  up  the  sin  of  my  people,  and  they  fset  their 
heart  on  their  iniquity. 

9  And  there  shall  be,  *like  people,  like  priest:  and  I  will 
tpunish  them  for  their  ways,  and  freward  them  their  doings. 

10  For  'they  shall  eat,  and  not  have  enough :  they  shall 
commit  whoredom,  and  shall  not  increase :  because  they  have 
left  off  to  take  heed  to  the  Lord. 

1 1  Whoredom  and  wine  and  new  wine  "take  away  the  heart. 

12  ^My  people  ask  counsel  at  their  "stocks,  and  their 
staff  declareth  unto  them:  for  "the  spirit  of  whoredoms 
hath  caused  them  to  err,  and  they  have  gone  a  whoring  from 
under  their  God. 

13  ""They  sacrifice  upon  the  tops  of  the  mountains,  and 
burn  incense  upon  the  hills,  under  oaks  and  poplars  and 
elms,  because  the  shadow  thereof  is  good :  therefore  your 


the  bow  and  the  sword  and  the  battle  out  of  the  land, 

19  and  will  make  them  to  lie  down  safely.  And  I  will 
betroth  thee  unto  me  for  ever;  yea,  I  will  betroth 
thee  unto  me  in  righteousness,  and  in  judgement,  and 

20  in  lovingkindness,  and  in  mercies.  I  will  even  be- 
troth thee  unto  me  in  faithfulness:  and  thou  shalt 

21  know  the  Lord.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that 
day,  I  will  answer,  saith  the  Lord,  I  will  answer  the 

22  heavens,  and  they  shall  answer  the  earth ;  and  the 
earth  shall  answer  the  corn,  and  the  wine,  and  the 

23  oil ;  and  they  shall  answer  'Jez're-el.  And  I  will  sow 
her  unto  me  in  the  ^earth;  and  I  will  have  mercy 
upon  ^her  that  had  not  obtained  mercy ;  and  I  will 
say  to  ^thern  which  were  not  my  people.  Thou  art 
my  people ;  and  they  shall  say.  Thou  art  my  God. 

V  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Go  yet,  love  a  woman 
beloved  'of  her  friend  and  an  adulteress,  even  as  the 
Lord  loveth  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  though  they  turn 

2  unto  other  gods,  and  *love  cakes  of  raisins.  So  I 
bought  her  to  me  for  fifteen  pieces  of  silver,  and  an 

3 homer  of  barley,  and  an  ^half  homer  of  barley:  and 
I  said  unto  her.  Thou  shalt  abide  for  me  many 
days ;  thou  shalt  not  play  the  harlot,  and  thou  .shalt 
not  be  any    man's  wife:  so  will  I  also  be   toward 

4  thee.  For  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  abide  many 
days  without  king,  and  without  prince,  and  without 
sacrifice,  and  without  "pillar,   and  without  ephod  or 

5teraphim:  afterward  shall  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 
return,  and  seek  the  Lord  their  God,  and  Da'vid 
their  king;  and  shall  come  with  fear  unto  the  Lord 
and  to  his  goodness  in  the  latter  days. 

^  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye  children  of 
Is'ra-el:  for  the  Lord  hath  a  controversy  with  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  because  there  is  no  truth, 
nor   mercy,  nor   knowledge   of  God   in   the   land. 

2  There  is  nought  but  swearing  and  breaking  faith, 
and  killing,  and  stealing,  and  committing  adultery; 

3  they  break  out,  and  blood  toucheth  blood.  There- 
fore shall  the  land  mourn,  and  every  one  that 
dwelleth  therein  shall  languish,  with  the  beasts  of 
the  field  and  the  fowls  of  heaven ;  yea,  the  fishes  of 

4  the  sea  also  shall  be  taken  away.  Yet  let  no  man 
strive,  neither  let  any  man  reprove;  for  thy  people 

6  are  as  they  that  strive  with  the  priest.  And  thou 
shalt  stumble  in  the  day,  and  the  prophet  also  shall 
stumble  with  thee  in  the  night;  and  I  will  destroy 

6  thy  mother.  My  people  are  destroyed  for  lack  of 
knowledge :  because  thou  hast  rejected  knowledge, 
'I  will  also  reject  thee,  that  thou  shalt  be  no  priest 
to  me :  seeing  thou   hast   forgotten  the   law  of  thy 

7  God,  I  also  will  forget  thy  children.  As  they  were 
multiplied,  so  they  sinned  against  me:  I  will  change 

8  their  glory  into  shame.     They  feed  on  the  sin  of  my 

9  people,  and  set  their  heart  on  their  iniquity.  And  it 
shall  be,  like  people,  like  priest :  and  I  will  punish  them 
for  their  ways,  and  will  reward  them  their  doings. 

10  And  they  shall  eat,  and  not  have  enough ;  they  shall 
commit  whoredom,  and  shall  not  increase :  because 

1 1  they  have  left  off  to  take  heed  to  the  Lord.  Whore- 
dom and  wine  and  new  wine  take  away  the  '"under- 

12  standing.  My  people  ask  counsel  at  their  stock,  and 
their  staff  declareth  unto  them:  for  the  spirit  of 
whoredom  hath  caused  them  to  err,  and  they  have 

13  gone  a  whoring  from  under  their  God.  They  sacrifice 
upon  the  tops  of  the  mountains,  and  burn  incense 
upon  the  hills,  under  oaks  and  poplars  and  terebinths,

14  11 1  will  not  punish  your  daughters  when  they  commit 
whoredom,  nor  your  spouses  when  they  commit  adultery: 
for  themselves  are  separated  with  whores,  and  they  sacrifice 
with  ha  '^ots :  therefore  the  people  that  'doth  not  under- 
stand shall  II  fall. 

15  ^Though  thou,  Is'ra-el,  play  the  harlot,  yet  let  not 
Ju'dah  offend ;  'and  come  not  ye  unto  Gil'gal,  neither  go 
ye  up  to  'Beth-a'ven,  "nor  swear.  The  Lord  liveth. 

16  For  Is'ra-el  ''slideth  back  as  a  back.sliding  heifer :  now 
the  Lord  will  feed  them  as  a  lamb  in  a  large  place. 

17  E'phra-im  «s  joined  to  idols:  "let  him  alone. 

18  Their  drink  fis  sour :  they  have  committed  whoredom 
continually:  'her  frulers  leith  shame  do  love.  Give  ye.

shall  be  ashamed  because  of  their  sacrifices. 

CHAPTER   V. 

GotPs  judgments  against  Israel  /or  its  manifold  sins, 

HEAR  ye  this,  O  priests ;  and  hearken  ye  house  of 
Is'ra-el ;  and  give  ye  ear,  O  house  of  the  king ;  for  judg- 
ment is  toward  you,  because  °ye  have  been  a  snare  on 
Miz'pah,  and  a  net  spread  upon  Ta'bor. 

2  And  the  revolters  are  'profound  to  make  slaughter, 
though  I  have  been  fa  rebuker  of  them  all. 

3  "^I  kno  w  E'phra-im,  and  Is'ra-el  is  not  hid  from  me:  for  now, 
OE'phra-im,"'thoucommittestwhoredom,and  Is'ra-el  isdefiled. 

4  til  They  will  not  frame  their  doings  to  .turn  unto  their 
God :  for  'the  spirit  of  whoredoms  is  in  the  midst  of  them, 
and  they  have  not  known  the  Lord. 

5  And  ■'^the  pride  of  Is'ra-el  doth  testify  to  his  face :  there- 
fore shall  Is'ra-el  and  E'phra-im  fall  in  their  iniquity  ;  Ju'dah 
also  shall  fall  with  them. 

6  'They  shall  go  with  their  flocks  and  with  their  herds  to 
seek  the  Lord;  but  they  shall  not  find  him;  he  hath  with- 
drawn himself  from  them. 

7  They  have  'dealt  treacherously  against  the  Lord;  for 
they  have  begotten  strange  children:  now  shall  'a  month 
devour  them  with  their  portions. 

8  *Blow  ye  the  cornet  in  Gib'e-ah,  and  the  trumpet  in 
Ra'mah  :  'cry  aloud  at  ""Beth-a'ven,  "after  thee,  O  Ben'ja-min. 

9  E'phra-im  shall  be  de-solate  in  the  day  of  rebuke:  among  the 
tribes  of  Is'ra-el  have  I  made  known  that  which  snail  surely  be. 

10  The  princes  of  Ju'dah  were  like  them  that  "remove  the 
bound:  therefore  I  will  pourout  my  wrath  upon  them  like  water. 

11  E'phra-im  is  ''oppressed  and  broken  in  judgment,  be- 
■cause  he  willingly  walked  after  'the  commandment. 

12  Therefore  tvill  I  be  unto  E'phra-im  as  a  moth,  and  to  the 
house  of  Ju'dah  'as  ||  rottenness. 

13  When  E'phra-im  saw  his  sickness,  and  Ju'dah  saw  his 
'wound,  then  went  E'phra-im'totheAs-syr'i-an,"andsent||to  king 
Ja'reb:  yet  could  he  not  heal  you,  nor  cure  you  of  your  wound. 

14  For  "^I  loill  be  unto  E'phra-im  as  a  lion,  and  as  a  young 
lion  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah:  "I,  even  I,  will  tear  and  go 
away :  I  will  take  away,  and  none  shall  rescue  him. 

15  T[I  will  go  and  return  to  my  place,  ftill  'they  acknowledge 
their  offence,  and  seek  my  face :  "in  their  affliction  they  will 
seek  me  early.        CHARTER    VI. 

An  exhortation  to  repentance— A  compiaint  of  their  untosvardH€Ss  and  iniquity, 

COME,  and  let  us  return  unto  the  Lord:  for  "he  hath  torn, 
and  ''he  will  heal  us;  he  hath  smitten,andhe  will  bind  us  up. 

2  "^ After  two  days  will  he  revive  us :  in  the  third  day  he 
will  raise  us  up,  and  we  shall  live  in  his  sight. 

3  ''Then  shall  we  know,  if  we  follow  on  to  know  the  Lord  : 
his  going  forth  is  prepared ''as  the  morning ;  and%e  shall  come 
•untous''asthe  rain,  as  the  XaXterand  former  rain  unto  the  earth. 

4  1['<0  E'phra-im,  what  shall  I  do  unto  thee?  O  Ju'dah, 
what  sball  I  do  unto  thee  ?  for  your  ||  goodness  i«  'as  a 
morninig  'Cloud,  and  as  the  early  dew  it  goeth  away.  I 


daughters    commit    whoredom,    and    your    'brides 

14  commit  adultery.  I  will  not  punish  your  daugh- 
ters when  they  commit  whoredom,  nor  your  'brides 
when  they  commit  adultery ;  for  they  themselves 
go  apart  with  whores,  and  they  sacrifice  with 
the  harlots;   and   the  people  that  doth  not  under- 

15  stand  shall  be  overthrown.  Though  thou,  Is'ra-el, 
play  the  harlot,  yet  let  not  Ju'dah  'offend ;  and 
come  not  ye  unto  Gil'gal,  neither  go  ye  up  to  Beth- 

16a'ven,  nor  swear.  As  the  Lord  liveth.  For  Is'ra-e] 
hath  behaved  himself  stubbornly,  like  a  stubborn 
heifer :  now  will  the  Lord  feed  them  as  a  lamb  in  a 

17  larger  place.  E'phra-im  isjoined  to  idols;  let  him  alone. 

18^Their  drink  is  become  sour:   they  commit  whore- 

1 9  dom  continually ;  'her  'rulers  dearly  love  shame.  The 
wind  hath  wrapped  her  up  in  its  Vings;  and  *they 
shall  be  ashamed  because  of  their  sacrifices. 

O  Hear  this,  O  ye  priests,  and  hearken,  ye  house  of 
Is'ra-el  and  give  ear,  O  house  of  the  king,  for  'unto  you 

Sertaineth  the  judgment ;  for  ye  have  been  a  snare  at 
liz'pah,  and  a  net  spread  upon  Ta'bor.    And  the  re- 
volters are  gone  deep  '"in  making  slaughter ;  but  I  am 

3  "a  rebuker  of  them  all.  Iknow  E'phra-im,  and  Is'ra-el 
is  not  hid  from  me  :  for  now,  O  E'phra-im,  thou  hast 

4  committed  whoredom,  Is'ra-el  isdefiled.  '^Theirdoings 
will  not  suffer  them  to  turn  unto  their  God :  for  the 
spirit  of  whoredom  is  '%ithin  them,  and  they  know 

5  not  the  Lord.  And  the  '*pride  of  Is'ra-el  doth  testify 
to  his  face:  therefore  Is'ra-el  and  E'phra-im  shall 
stumble  in  their  iniquity ;  Ju'dah  also  shall  stumble 

6  with  them.  They  shall  go  with  their  flocks  and  with 
their  herds  to  seek  the  Lord;  but  they  shall  not 
find  him:  he  hath  withdrawn   himself  from  them. 

7  They  have  dealt  treacherously  against  the  Lord  ; 
for  they  have  ''borne  strange  children :  now  shall 
■^the  new  moon  devour  them  with  their  "fields. 

8  Blow  ye  the  cornet  in  Gib'e-ah,  and  the  trumpet  in 
Ra'mah:    sound  an   alarm  at  Beth-a'ven;   '^behind 

9  thee,  O  Ben'ja-min.  E'phra-im  shall  become  a  deso- 
lation in  the  day  of  rebuke :  among  the  tribes  of 
Is'ra-el  have  I  made  known  that  which  shall  surely 

lobe.  The  princes  of  Ju'dah  are  like  them  that  remove 
the  landmark :  I  will  pour  out  my  wrath  upon  them 

11  like  water.  E'phra-im  is  oppressed,  he  is  crushed  in 
judgement;   because  he  was  content  to  walk  after 

12  "the  command.  ^Therefore  am  I  unto  E'phra-im  as  a 
moth,  and   to   the    house   of  Ju'dah  as  rottenness. 

13  When  E'phra-im  saw  his  sickness,  and  Ju'dah  saw  his 
wound,  then  went  E'phra-im  to  As-syr'i-a,  and  sent  to 
^'king  Ja'reb :  but  he  is  not  able  to  heal  you,  neither 

14  shall  he  cure  you  of  your  wound.  For  I  will  be 
unto  E'phra-im  as  a  lion,  and  as  a  young  lion  to 
the  house  of  Ju'dah  :  I,  even  I,  will  tear  and  go 
away;    I  will  carry  off,  and  there  shall  be  none  to 

15  deliver.  I  will  go  and  return  to  my  place,  till  they 
^^acknowledge  their  offence,  and  seek  my  face  :  in 
their  affliction  they  will  seek  me  ^'earnestly. 

U  Come,  and  let  us  return  unto  the  Lord  :  for  he 
hath  torn,  and  he  will  heal  us;   he   hath  smitten, 

2  and  he  will  bind  us  up.  After  two  days  will  he 
revive  us :  on  the  third  day  he  will  raise  us  up,  and  we 

3 shall  live  before  him.  And  let  us  know,  let  us  follow 
on  to  know  the  Lord  ;  his  going  forth  is  sure  as  the 
morning:  and  he  shall  come  unto  as  the  rain,  as 
the  latter  rain  that  watereth  the  earth. 

4  O  E'phra-im,  what  shall  I  do  unto  thee  ?  O  Ju'dah, 
what  shall  I  do  unto  thee  ?  for  your  ^'goodness  is  as  a 
morning  cloud,  and  as  the  dew  that  goeth  early  away.

6  Therefore  have  I  hewed  them  *by  the  prophets;  I  have 
slain  them  by  'the  words  of  my  mouth:  ||and  thy  judgments 
are  as  the  light  that  goeth  forth. 

6  For  I  desired  "mercy,  and  "not  sacrifice;  and  the 
"knowledge  of  God  more  than  burnt  offerings. 

7  But  they  ||  like  men  ''have  transgressed  the  covenant : 
'there  have  they  dealt  treacherously  against  me. 

8  ""GiFe-ad  is  a  city  of  them  that  work  iniquity,  and  is 
II  polluted  with  blood. 

9  And  as  troops  of  robbers  wait  for  a  man,  so  the  com- 
pany of  priests  murder  in  the  way  fby  consent:  for  they 
commit  ||  lewdness. 

10  I  have  seen  'a  horrible  thing  in  the  honse  of  Is'ra-el: 
there  is  "the  whoredom  of  E'phra-im,  Is'ra-el  is  defiled. 

11  Also,  O  Ju'dah,  "^he  hath  set  a  harvest  for  thee,  "when 
I  returned  the  captivity  of  my  people. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

A  reproof  of  manifold  sins — God^s  wrath  against  the  people  for  their  hypocrisy. 

WHEN  I  would  have  healed  Is'ra-el,  then  the  iniquity 
of  E'phra-im  was  discovered,  and  the  fwickedness  of 
Sa-ma'ri-a:  for  "they  commit  falsehood;  and  the  thief  cometh 
in  and  the  troop  of  robbers  fspoileth  without. 

2  And  they  fconsider  not  in  their  hearts  that  I  'remember 
all  their  wickedness:  now  "their  own  doings  have  beset 
them  about;  they  are  ''before  ray  face. 

3  They  make  the  king  glad  with  their  wickedness,  and 
the  princes  'with  their  lies. 

4  ■'They  are  all  adulterers,  as  an  oven  heated  by  the  baker, 
\\who  ceaseth  ||from  raising  after  he  hath  kneaded  the 
dough,  until  it  be  leavened. 

5  In  the  day  of  our  king  the  princes  have  made  him  sick  ||  with 
bottles  of  wine ;  he  stretched  out  his  hand  with  scorners. 

6  For  they  have  ||  made  ready  their  heart  like  an  oven, 
while  they  lie  in  wait :  their  baker  sleepeth  all  the  night ; 
in  the  morning  it  burneth  as  a  flaming  fire. 

7  They  are  all  hot  as  an  oven,  and  have  devoured  their 
judges;  "all  their  kings  'are  fallen:  Hhere  is  none  among 
them  that  calleth  unto  me. 

8  E'phra-im,  he  *hath  mixed  himself  among  the  people ; 
E'phra-im  is  a  cake  not  turned. 

9  'Strangers  have  devoured  his  strength,  and  he  knoweth 
it  not:  yea,  gray  hairs  are  fhere  and  there  upon  him,  yet 
he  knoweth  not. 

10  And  the  "pride  of  Is'ra-el  testifieth  to  his  face :  and  "they 
do  not  return  to  the  Lord  their  God,  nor  seek  him  for  all  this. 

11  ^"E'phra-im  also  is  like  a  silly  dove  without  heart: 
"they  call  to  E'gypt,  they  go  to  As-syr'i-a. 

12  When  they  shall  go,  'I  will  spread  my  net  upon  them ; 
I  will  bring  them  down  as  the  fowls  of  the  heaven ;  I  will 
chastise  them,  'as  their  congregation  hath  heard. 

13  Woe  unto  them!  for  they  have  fled  from  me:  fdestruc- 
tion  unto  them!  because  they  have  transgressed  against  me: 
though  'I  have  redeemed  them,  yet  they  have  spoken  lies 
against  me. 

14  'And  they  have  not  cried  unto  me  with  their  heart, 
when  they  howled  upon  their  beds:  they  assemble  them- 
selves for  corn  and  wine,  and  they  rebel  against  me. 

15  Though  I  II  have  bound  and  strengthened  their  arms, 
yet  do  they  imagine  inischief  against  me. 

16  "They  return,  hut  not  to  the  Most  High :  ''they  are  like 
a  deceitful  bow :  their  princes  shall  fall  oy  the  sword  for 
the  "rage  of  their  tongue:  this  shall  be  their  derision  'in 
the  land  of  E'gj'pt. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Destruction  threatened  for  [sraeVs  impiety  and  idolatry. 

SET  "the  trumpet  to  fthy  mouth.     He  shall  come  'as  an 
eagle  against  tlie  house  of  the  Lord,  becau.se  "they  have 
transgressed  my  covenant,  and  trespassed  against  my  law. 
2  ''Is'ra-el  shall  cry  unto  me,  My  God,  'we  know  thee. 


5 Therefore  have  I  hewed  them  by  the  prophets; 
I  have  slain  them  by  the  words  of  my  mouth: 
'and  thy  judgements  are  as   the   light   that  goeth 

6  forth.  For  I  desire  ^mercy,  and  not  sacrifice ;  and 
the    knowledge    of    God    more    than    burnt    offer- 

7  ings.  But  they  Hike  ^Ad'am  have  transgressed  the 
covenant :    there     have    they     dealt    treacherously 

8  against  me.      Gil'e-ad  is  a  city  of  them  that  work 

9  iniquity,  it  is  stained  with  blood.  ''And  as  troops 
of  robbers  wait  for  a  man,  so  the  company  of  priests 
murder  in  the  way  toward  She'chem:  yea,  they  have 

10 committed  lewdness.  In  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  I  have 
seen  an  horrible  thing :  there  whoredom  is  found  in 

11  E'phra-im,  Is'ra-el  is  defiled.  Also,  O  Ju'dah,  there 
is  an  harvest  appointed  for  thee,  when  I  bring  again 
the  captivity  of  my  people. 

♦  When  I  would  heal  Is'ra-el,  then  is  the.  iniquity 
of  E'phra-im  discovered,  and  the  wickedness  of  Sa- 
ma'ri-a;  for  they  commit  falsehood:  and  the  thief 
entereth  in,  and  the  troop  of  robbers  ^spoileth  with- 

2  out.  And  they  consider  not  in  their  hearts  that  I 
remember  all  their  wickedness :  now  have  their  own 
doings  beset  them  about;    they  are  before  my  face. 

3 They  make  the  king  glad  with  their  wickedness,  and 

4  the  princes  with  their  lies.  They  are  all  adulterers  ; 
they  are  as  an  oven  heated  by  the  baker ;  he  ceaseth 
to  stir  the  fire,  from  the  kneading  of  the  dough  until 

5  it  be  leavened.  On  the  day  of  our  king  the  princes 
'made  ^themselves  sick    with  the  heat  of  wine ;  he 

6  stretched  out  his  hand  with  scorners.  For  they 
have  'made  ready  their  heart  like  an  oven,  whiles 
they  lie  in  wait:  '"their  baker  sleepeth  all  the  night;  in 

7  the  morning  it  burneth  as  a  flaming  fire.  They  are  all 
hot  as  an  oven,  and  devour  their  judges;  all  their 
kings   are   fallen:    there   is   none  among  them  that 

8  calleth  unto  me.  E'phra-im,  he  mixeth  himself 
among  the  peoples ;  E'phra-im  is  a  cake  not  turned. 

9  Strangers  have  devoured  his  strength,  and  he  know-

12  to  As-syr'i-a.  When  they  shall  go,  I  will  spread 
my  net  upon  them ;  I  will  bring  them  down  as  the 
fowls  01  heaven :    I  will   chastise  them,  '*as    their 

13 congregation  hath  heard.  Woe  unto  them!  for 
they  have  wandered  from  me;  destruction  unto 
them !  for  thi  have  trespassed  against  me :  though 
I  would  rede^..i   them,  yet  they  have  spoken  lies 

14  against  me.  And  they  have  not  cried  unto  me 
with  their  heart,  but  they  howl  upon  their  beds:

15  rebel  against  me.  Though  I  have  "taught  and 
strengthened  their  arms,  yet  do  they  imagine  mis- 

16  chief  against  me.  They  return,  but  not  to  him  that 
is  on  high ;  they  are  like  a  deceitful  bow :  their 
princes  shall  fall  by  the  sword  for  the  rage  of  their 
tongue:  this  shall  be  their  derision  in  the  land  of 
E'gypt. 

O     "Set  the  trumpet   to  thy  mouth.      As  an  eagle 
he   cometh   against    the    house    of   the    Lord:    be-

2  trespassed     against    my    law.      They    shall     cry 
unto     me.    My    God,    we     Is'ra-el     knew    thee.

3  Is'ra-el  hath  cast  off  the  thing  that  is  good:  the  enemy 
shall  pursue  him. 

4  ■'They  have  set  up  kings,  but  not  by  me :  they  have 
made  princes,  and  I  knew  it  not :  "of  their  silver  and  their 
gold  have  they  made  them  idols,  that  they  may  be  cut  off. 

5  ^Thy  calf,  O  Sa-ma'ri-a,  hath  cast  thee  off;  mine  anger  is 
kindled  against  them :  ''how  long  will  it  be  ere  they  attain 
to  innocency  ? 

6  For  from  Is'ra-el  was  it  also:  the  workman  made  it; 
therefore  it  is  not  God :  but  the  calf  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  shall  be 
broken  in  pieces. 

7  For  'they  have  sown  the  wind,  and  they  shall  reap  the 
whirlwind:  it  hath  no  stalk:  the  bud  shall  yield  no  meal: 
if  so  be  it  yield,  *the  strangers  shall  swallow  it  up. 

8  'Is'ra-el  is  swallowed  up :  now  shall  they  be  among  the 
Gentiles  ""as  a  vessel  wherein  is  no  pleasure. 

9  For  "they  are  gone  up  to  As-syr'i-a,  "a  wild  ass  alone  by 
himself:  E'phra-im  "hath  hired  flovers. 

10  Yea,  though  they  have  hired  among  the  nations,  now 
«will  I  gather  them,  and  they  shall  ||  sorrow  [|  a  little  for  the 
burden  of  ""the  king  of  princes. 

11  Because  E'phra-im  hath  made  'many  altars  to  sin,  altars 
shall  be  unto  him  to  sin. 

12  I  have  written  to  him  'the  great  things  of  my  law,  but 
they  were  counted  as  a  strange  thing. 

13  "They  sacrifice  flesh  for  the  sacrifices  of  mine  offer- 
ings, and  eat  it;  "but  the  Lord  accepteth  them  not;  "now 
will  he  remember  their  iniquity,  and  visit  their  sins:  'they 
shall  return  to  E'gypt. 

1 4  "For  Is'ra-el  hath  forgotten  'his  Maker,  and  "buildeth  tem- 
ples; and  Ju'dah  hath  multiplied  fenced  cities:  but  "'I  will  send 
a  fire  upon  his  cities,  and  it  shall  devour  the  palaces  thereof. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

The  distress  and  captivity  of  Israel  for  sin  and  idolatry. 

REJOICE  not,  O   Is'ra-el,  for  joy,  as  other  people :  for 
thou  "hast  gone  a  whoring  from  thy  God,  thou  hast  loved 
a  ''reward  ||  upon  every  cornfl^oor. 

2  "The  floor  and  the  winepress  shall  not  feed  them,  and 
the  new  wine  shall  fail  in  her. 

3  They  shall  not  dwell  in  ''the  Lord's  land;  "but  E'phra-im  shall 
return  to  E'gypt,  and-'they  shall  eat  unclean  things  "in  As-syr'i-a. 

4  *They  shall  not  offer  wine  offerings  to  the  Lord,  'neither 
shall  they  be  pleasing  unto  him:  *their  sacrifices  shall  be 
unto  them  as  the  bread  of  mourners;  all  that  eat  thereof 
shall  be  polluted:  for  their  bread  'for  their  soul  shall  not 
come  into  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

5  What  will  ye  do  in  "the  solemn  day,  and  in  the  day  of 
the  feast  of  the  Lord  ? 

6  For,  lo,  they  are  gone  because  of  f  destruction :  "E'gypt 
shall  gather  them  up,  Mem'phis  shall  bury  them  :  the  pleas- 
ant places  for  their  silver,  "nettles  shall  possess  them :  tnorns 
shall  be  in  their  tabernacles. 

7  The  days  of  visitation  are  come,  the  days  of  recompense 
are  come ;  Is'ra-el  shall  know  it :  the  prophet  is  a  fool,  fthe 
spiritual  man  is  mad,  for  the  multitude  of  thine  iniquity, 
and  the  great  hatred. 

8  The  'watchman  of  E'phra-im  was  with  my  God :  but  the 
prophet  is  a  snare  of  a  fowler  in  all  his  ways,  and  hatred 
II  in  the  house  of  his  God. 

9  "They  have  deeply  corrupted  themselves  as  in  the  days 
of  'Gib'e-ah :  'therefore  he  will  remember  their  iniquity,  he 
will  visit  their  sins. 

10  I  found  Is'ra-el  like  grapes  in  the  wilderness ;  I  saw  your 
fathers  as  "the  first  ripe  in  the  fig  tree  "'at  her  first  time :  but 
they  went  to  "Ba'al-pe'or,  and  'separated  themselves  "unto  that 
shame;  'and  their  abominations  were  according  as  they  loved. 

11  As  for  E'phra-im,  their  glory  shall  fly  away  like  a  bird, 
from  the  birth,  and  from  the  womb,  and  from  the  conception. 

12  "Though  they  bring   up   their   children,   yet   ''will    I 


3  Is'ra-el  hath  cast  off  that  which  is  good  :  the  ene- 

4  my  shall  pursue  him.  They  have  set  up  kings, 
but  not  by  me;  'they  have  made  princes,  and  I 
knew  it  not:    of  their  silver   and  their  gold  have 

5  they  made  them  idols,  that  they  may  be  cut  off.  He 
hath  cast  off  thy  calf,  O  Sa-ma'ri-a ;  mine  anger  is 
kindled  against  them :  how  long  will  it  be  ere  they 

6  attain  to  innocency  ?  For  from  Is'ra-el  is  even 
this;  the  workman  made  it,  and  it  is  no  God:  yea 
the   calf  of  Sa-ma'ri-a   shall   be   broken   in  pieces 

7  For  they  sow  the  wind,  and  they  shall  reap  the 
whirlwind :  ^he  hath  no  standing  corn  ;  the  blade 
shall   yield   no    meal;    if  so   be   it  yield,   strangers 

8  shall  swallow  it  up.  Is'ra-el  is  swallowed  up :  now 
are  they  among   the    nations   as  a   vessel   wherein 

9  is  no  pleasure.  For  they  are  gone  up  to  As-syr'i-a, 
like  a   wild  ass  alone  by  himself:    E'phra-im  hath 

10  hired  'lovers.  Yea,  though  they  hire  among  the 
nations,  now  will  I  gather  them ;  and  they  *begin  to 
be  minished  by  reason  of  the  burden   of  the   'king 

11  of  princes.     Because  E'phra-im  hath  multiplied  altars 

12  to  sin,  altars  have  been  unto  him  to  sin.  'Though 
I  write  for  him  my  law  in  ten  thousand   precepts, 

13  they  are  counted  as  a  strange  thing.  As  for  the 
sacrifices  of  mine  offerings,  they  sacrifice  flesh  and 
eat  it ;  but  the  Lord  accepteth  them  not :  now  will 
he    remember   their   iniquity,    and  visit  their  sins ; 

14  they  shall  return  to  E'gypt.     For  Is'ra-el   hath  for 
gotten  his  Maker,  and  builded  'palaces;  and  Ju'dah 
hath  multiplied  fenced  cities ;  but  I  will  send  a  fire 
upon  his  cities,   and    it    shall    devour   the   'castles 
thereof. 

V  Rejoice  not,  O  Is'ra-el, 'for  joy,  like  the  peoples;  '"for 
thou  hast  gone  a  whoring  from  thy  God,  thou  hast 

2  loved  hire  upon  every  cornfloor.  The  threshing- 
floor  and  the  winepress  shall  not  feed  them,  and  the 

3  new  wine  shall  fail  her.  They  shall  not  dwell  in  the 
Lord's  land ;  but  E'phra-im  shall  return  to  E'gypt, 

4  and  they  shall  eat  unclean  food  in  As-syr'i-a.  They 
shall  not  pour  out  wine  offerings  to  the  Lord, 
"neither  shall  they  be  pleasing  unto  him :  their 
sacrifices  shall  be  unto  them  as  the  bread  of  mourn 
ers ;  all  that  eat  thereof  shall  be  polluted :  for  their 
bread  shall  be  for  their  appetite;    it  shall  not  come 

6  into  the  house  of  the  Lord.  What  will  ye  do  in 
the  day  of  solemn  assembly,  and  in  the  day  of  the 

6 feast  of  the  Lord?  For,  lo,  they  are  gone  away 
from  destruction,  yet  E'gypt  shall  gather  them  up, 
Mem'phis  shall  bury  them  :  their  pleasant  things  of 
silver,  nettles  shall  possess  them :    thorns  shall  be  in 

7  their  tents.  The  days  of  visitation  are  come,  the 
days  of  recompence  are  come;  Is'ra-el  shall  know 
it:  the  prophet  is  a  fool,  the  man  that  hath  the 
spirit   is   mad,  for  the  multitude  of  thine  iniquity, 

8  and  because  the  enmity  is  great.  E'phra-im  "was  a 
watchman  with  my  God :  as  for  the  prophet,  a 
fowler's  «nare  is  in  all  his  ways,  and  enmity  in  the 

9  house  ,of  his  God.  They  have  deeply  corrupted 
themselves,  as  in  the  days  of  Gib'e-ah:    he  will  re- 

10  member  their  iniquity,  he  will  visit  their  sins.  I 
found  Is'ra-el  like  grapes  in  the  wilderness ;  I  saw 
your  fathers  as  the  firstripe  in  the  fig  tree  at  her  first 
season :  but  they  came  to  Ba'al-pe'or,  and  "consecrated 
themselves   unto   the  "shameful  thing,  and  became 

11  abominable  like  that  which  they  loved.  As  for  E'phra- 
im,  their  glory  shall  fly  away  like  a  bird :  there  shall 
be  no  birth,  and  none  with  child,  and  no  conception. 

12  Though   they   bring   up   their    children,  yet  will  I

bereave  them,  that  there  shall  not  be  a  man  kft:  yea,  'woe 
also  to  them  when  I  ^depart  from  them ! 

13  E'phra-im/as  I  saw  Ty'rus,  is  planted  in  a  pleasant  place : 
*but  E'phra-im  shall  bring  forth  his  children  to  the  murderer. 

14  Give  them,  O  Lord:  what  wilt  thou  give?  give  them 
'a  fmiscarrj'ing  womb  and  dry  breasts. 

15  All  their  wickedness  %  in  Gil'gal :  for  there  I  hated  them : 
'for  the  wickedne.ss  of  their  doings  I  will  drive  them  out  of 
mine  house,  I  will  love  them  no  more:  "all  their  princes 
are  revolters. 

16  E'phra-im  is  smitten,  their  root  is  dried  up,  they  shall 
bear  no  fruit :  yea,  "though  they  bring  forth,  yet  will  I  slay 
even  fthe  beloved  fruit  of  their  womb. 

17  My  God  will  cast  themaway,  because  they  didnot  hearken 
unto  him :  and  they  shall  be  "wanderers  among  the  nations. 

CHAPTER    X. 

Israel  reproved  and  threatened  for  impiety  and  idolatry. 

IS'RA-EL  is  °an  empty  vine,  he  bringeth  forth  fruit  unto 
himself:  according  to  the  multitude  of  his  fruit  ""he  hath 
increased  the  altars;  according  to  the  goodness  of  his  land 
■^they  have  made  goodly  fimages. 

2  II  Their  heart  is  ''divided  ;  now  shall  they  be  found  faulty: 
he  shall  break  down  their  altars,  he  shall  spoil  their  images. 

3  'For  now  they  shall  say.  We  have  no  king,  because  we 
feared  not  the  Lord  ;  what  then  should  a  king  do  to  us? 

4  They  have  spoken  words,  swearing  falsely  in  making 
covenant:  thus  judgment  springeth  up  •'ias  hemlock  in  the 
furrows  of  the  field. 

5  The  inhabitants  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  shall  fear  because  of  "the 
calves  of  *Beth-a'ven :  for  the  people  thereof  shall  mourn 
over  it,  and  ||the  priests  thereof  that  rejoiced  on  it,  'for  the 
glory  thereof,  because  it  is  departed  from  it. 

6  It  shall  be  also  carried  unto  As-syr'i-a,  for  a  present  to 
*king  Ja'reb:  E'phra-im  shall  receive  shame,  and  Is'ra-el 
shall  be  ashamed  'of  his  own  counsel. 

7  ^As  for  Sa-ma'ri-a,  her  king  is  cut  off  as  the  foam  upon 
fthe  water. 

8  "The  high  places  also  of  A'ven,  "the  sin  of  Is'ra-el,  shall 
be  destroyed:  "the  thorn  and  the  thistle  shall  come  up  on 
their  altars ;  'and  they  shall  say  to  the  mountains.  Cover  us ; 
and  to  the  hills.  Fall  on  us. 

9  'O  Is'ra-el,  thou  hast  sinned  from  the  days  of  Gib'e-ah : 
there  they  stood :  the  battle  in  Gib'e-ah  against  the  children 
of  iniquity  did  not  overtake  them. 

10  'It  is  in  my  desire  that  I  should  chastise  them;  and 
"the  people  shall  be  gathered  against  them,  when  they  shall 
bind  themselves  in  their  two  furrows. 

11  And  E'phra-im  isas  "a  heifer  that  is  taught,  aTidloveth 
to  tread  out  the  corn;  but  I  passed  over  upon  her  fair  neck : 
I  will  make  E'phra-im  to  ride ;  Ju'dah  shall  plough,  and 
Ja'cob  shall  break  his  clods. 

12  "Sow  to  yourselves  in  righteousness,  reap  in  mercy; 
'break  up  your  fallow  ground:  for  it  is  time  to  seek  the 
Lord,  till  he  come  and  rain  righteousness  upon  you. 

13  "Ye  have  ploughed  wickedness,  ye  have  reaped  iniquity; 
ye  have  eaten  the  fruit  of  lies :  because  thou  didst  trust  in 
thy  way,  in  the  multitude  of  thy  mighty  men. 

14  ""Therefore  shall  a  tumult  arise  among  thy  people,  and 
all  thy  fortresses  shall  be  spoiled,  as  Shal'man. spoiled  "Beth- 
ar'bel  in  the  day  of  battle  :  ''the  mother  was  dashed  in  pieces 
upon  her  children. 

15  Soshall  Beth'-el  do  unto  you  because  of  fyour  great  wick- 
edness: in  a  morning 'shall  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  utterly  be  cutoff. 

CHAF'TER  XI. 

The  ingratitude  of  Israel  unto  God  for  his  benefits. 

WHEN  "Is'ra-el  was  a  child,  then  I  loved  him,  and  'called 
my  'son  out  of  E'gypt. 
2  As  they  called  them,  so  they  went  from  them  :  ''they  sacri- 
ficed unto  Ba'al-im,  and  burned  incense»to  graven  images. 


bereave    them,  that  there  be  not  a   man   left:  yea, 
woe    also    to    them    when    I    depart    from    them ! 

13  E'phra-im,  'like  as  I  have  seen  Tyre,  is  planted  in 
a   pleasant    place:    but    E'phra-im  shall    bring   out 

14  his  children  to  the  slayer.  Give  them,  O  Lord  : 
what   wilt    thou   give?    give    them    a    miscarrying 

15  womb  and  dry  breasts.  All  their  wickedness  is  in 
Gil'gal ;  for  there  I  hated  them :  because  of  the 
wickedness  of  their  doings  I  will  drive  them  out  of 
mine  house:    I  will  love  them  no  more;   all  their 

1'6  princes  are  revolters.  E'phra-im  is  smitten,  their 
root  is  dried  up,  they  shall  bear  no  fruit:  yea, 
though  they  bring  forth,  yet  will  I  slay  the  beloved 

17  fruit  of  their  womb.  My  God  will  cast  them  away, 
because  they  did  not  hearken  unto  him :  and  they 
shall  be  wanderers  among  the  nations. 

-tv  Is'ra-el  is  a  luxuriant  vine,  which  putteth  forth 
his  fruit:  according  to  the  multitude  of  his  fruit  he 
hath  multiplied  his  altars :  according  to  the  ^good- 
ness of  his    land    they    have   made   goodly  'pillars. 

2*Their  heart  is  "divided;  now  shall  they  be  found 
guilty:    he  shall    smite   their   altars,  he  shall  spoil 

3  their  'pillars.  Surely  now  shall  they  say,  We  have 
no  king:  for  we  fear  not  the  Lord;  and  the  king, 

4 what  can  he  do  for  us?  They  speak  vain  words, 
*swearing  falsely  in  making  covenants :  therefore 
judgement  ^springeth  up  as  ^hemlock  in  the  furrows 

5  of  the  field.  The  inhabitants  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  shall  be 
in  terror  for  the  calves  of  Beth-a'ven  :  for  the  people 
thereof  shall  mourn  over  it,  and  'the  priests  thereof 
that  rejoiced  over  it,  for  the  glory  thereof,  because 

Git  is  departed  from  it.  It  also  shall  be  carried  unto 
As-sy'ri-afora  presentto '"king  Ja'reb:  E'phra-im  shall 
receive  shame,  and  Is'ra-el  shall  be  ashamed  of  his 

7  own  counsel.    ^^  As  for  Sa-ma'ri-a,  her  king  is  cut  off, 

8  as  '^foam  upon  the  water.  The  high  places  also  of 
A'ven,  the  sin  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  be  destroyed :  the 
thorn  and  the  thistle  shall  come  up  on  their  altars ; 
and  they  shall  say  to  the  mountains,  Cover  us ;  and 

9  to  the  hills.  Fall  on  us.  O  Is'ra-el,  thou  hast  sinned 
"from  the  days  of  Gib'e-ah:  "there  they  stood;  'Hhat 
the  battle  against  the   children  of  iniquity   should 

10  not  overtake  them  in  Gib'e-ah.  When  it  is  my  de- 
sire, I  will  chastise  them;  and  the  peoples  shall  be 
gathered  against  them,  when  they  are  "bound  ''to 

11  their  two  transgressions.  And  E'phra-im  is  an  heifer 
that  is  taught,  that  loveth  to  tread  out  the  corn  ;  but 
I  have  passed  over  upon  her  fair  neck  :  I  will  «^t  a 
rider  on  E'phra-im :  Ju'dah  shall  plow,  Ja'cob  snail 

1 2  break  his  clods.  Sow  to  yourseives  in  righteous- 
ness, reap  according  to  mercy ;  break  up  your  fal- 
low ground :  for  it  is  time  to  seek  the  Lord,  till  he 

13  come  and  '"rain  righteousness  upon  you.  Ye  have 
plowed  wickedness,  ye  have  reaped  iniquity;  ye 
have  eaten  the  fruit  of  '"lies :  for  tnou  didst  trust  in 
thy  way,    in    the    multitude   of  thy    mighty    men. 

14  Therefore  shall  a  tumult  arise  ^among  thy  2' people, 
and  all  thy  fortresses  shall  be  spoiled,  as  Shal'nian 
spoiled  Beth-ar'bel  in  the  day  of  battle :  the  mother 

15  was  dashed  in  pieces  with  herchildren.  ^^Soshall  Beth'- 
el  do  unto  you  because  of  your  great  wickedness  :  at 
daybreak  shall  the  king  of  Is'ra-el  be  utterly  cut  off. 

iJ-     When  Is'ra-el  was  a  child,  then  I  loved  him,  and 

2  called  my  son  out  of  E'gypt.     As  they  called  them, 

so  they   went  from   them:  they  sacrificed  unto    the 

Ba'al-im,  and    burned    incense  to   graven    images.

3  'I  taught  E'phra^im  also  to  go,  taking  theiir  by  their 
arms ;  but  they  knew  not  that  ^1  healed  them. 

4  I  drew  them  with  cords  of  a  man,  with  bands  of  love : 
and  "I  was  to  them  as  they  that  take  off  the  yoke  on  their 
jaws,  and  ''I  laid  meat  unto  them. 

5  %'He  shall  not  return  into  the  land  of  E'gypt,  but  the 
As-syr'i-an  shall  be  his  king,  ^because  they  refused  to  return. 

6  And  the  sword  shall  abide  on  his  cities,  and  shall  consume 
his  branches,  and  devour  them,  'because  of  their  own  counsels. 

7  And  my  people  are  bent  to  "'backsliding  from  me :  "though 
they  called  them  to  the  Most  High,  none  at  all  would  exalt  him. 

8  "How  shall  I  give  thee  up,  E'phra-im?  how  shall  I  deliver 
thee,  Is'ra-el?  how  shall  I  make  thee  asPAd'mah?  how  shall 
I  set  thee  as  Ze-bo'im?  'mine  heart  is  turned  within  me,  my 
repentings  are  kindled  together. 

9  I  will  not  execute  the  fierceness  of  mine  anger,  I  will 
not  return  to  destroy  E'phra-im :  ""for  I  am  God,  and  not 
man ;  the  Holy  One  in  the  midst  of  thee :  and  I  will  not 
enter  into  the  city. 

10  They  shall  walk  after  the  LoHD :  'he  shall  roar  like  a  lion : 
when  he  shall  roar,  then  thechildren  shall  tremble'from  the  west. 

11  They  shall  tremble  as  a  bird  out  of  E'gypt,  "and  as  a 
dove  out  of  the  land  of  As-syr'i-a :  ""and  I  will  place  them  in 
their  houses,  saith  the  LoHD. 

12  "E'phra-im  compasseth  me  about  with  lies,  and  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el  with  deceit :  but  Ju'dah  yet  ruleth  with  God, 
and  is  faithful  with  the  saints. 

CHAPTER   XII. 

A  reproof  of  Ephratm,  Judah,  and  Jacob, 

E'PHRA-IM  "feedeth  on  wind,  and  followeth  after  the 
east  wind  :  he  daily  increaseth  lies  and  desolation ;  'and 
they  do  make  a  covenant  with  the  As-syr'i-ans,  and  "oil  is 
carried  into  E'gypt. 

2  ''The  Lord  hath  also  a  controversy  with  Ju'dah,  and  will 
punish  Ja'cob  according  to  his  ways;  according  to  his 
doings  will  he  recompense  him. 

3  ^He  took  his  brother  'by  the  heel  in  the  womb,  and  by 
his  strength  he  ■'^had  power  with  God : 

4  Yea,  he  had  power  over  the  angel,  and  prevailed :  he 
wept,  and  made  supplication  unto  him  :  he  found  him  in 
'Beth'-el,  and  there  he  spake  with  us ; 

5  Even  the  Lord  God  of  hosts ;  the  Lord  is  his  *memoriaI. 

6  'Therefore,  turn  thou  to  thy  God:  keep  mercy  and  judg- 
ment, and  *wait  on  thy  God  continually. 

7  \He  is  II  a  merchant,  'the  balances  of  deceit  are  in  his 
hand  :  he  loveth  to  ||  oppress. 

8  And  E'phra-im  said,  ""Yet  I  am  become  rich,  I  have 
found  me  out  substance :  in  all  my  labours  they  shall  find 
none  iniquity  in  me  that  were  sin. 

9  And  "I  that  am  the  Lord  thy  God  from  the  land  of 
E'gypt  "will  yet  make  thee  to  dwell  in  tabernacles,  as  in  the 
days  of  the  solemn  feast. 

10  *I  have  also  spoken  by  the  prophets,and  I  have  multiplied 
vi-sions,  and  u.sed  similitudes,  fby  the  ministry  of  the  prophets. 

11  "Is  there  iniquity  in  Gil'e-ad?  surely  they  are  vanity: 
they  sacrifice  bullocks  in  ""Girgal ;  yea,  'their  altars  are  as 
heaps  in  the  furrows  of  the  fields. 

12  And  Ja'cob  'fled  into  the  country  of  Syr'i-a,  and  Is'ra-el 
"served  for  a  wife,  and  for  a  wife  he  kept  sheep. 

13  "'And  by  a  prophet  the  Lord  brought  Is'ra-el  out  of 
E'gypt,  and  by  a  prophet  was  he  preserved. 

14  "E'phra-im  provoked  him  to  anger  most  bitterly :  there- 
fore shall  he  leave  his  fblood  upon  him,  'and  his  "reproach 
shall  his  Lord  return  unto  him. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

EphrainCs  glory,  by  reason  of  idolatry,  vanisheth  ;  a  promise  of  God*s  mercy. 

WHEN  E'phra-im  spake  trembling,  he  exalted   himself, 
in  Is'ra-el ;  but  "when  he  offended  in  Ba'al,  he  died. 
2  And   now  fthey  sin  more  and  more,  and  *have  made 


3 Yet  I  taught  E'phra-im  to  go:  'I  took  them  on  my 

4  arms ;  but  they  knew  not  that  I  healed  them.  I  drew 
them  with  cords  of  a  man,  with  bands  of  love ;  and  I 
was  to  them  as  they  that  take  off  the  yoke  on  their 

5  jaws,  and  I  laid  meat  before  them.  He  shall  not  return 
into  the  land  of  E'gypt;  but  the  As-syr'i-an  shall  be 

6  his  king,  because  they  refused  to  return.  And  the 
sword  shall  ^fall  upon  his  cities,  and  shall  consume 
his   bars,  and   devour   them,  because    of  their   own 

7  counsels.  And  my  people  are  bent  to  backsliding 
from  me :  though  they  called  them  to  him  that  is  on 

8  high,  none  at  all  will  'exalt  him.  How  shall  I  give 
thee  up,  E'phra-im  ?  how  shall  I  deliver  thee,  Is'ra-el  ? 
how  shall  I  make  thee  as  Ad'mah?  hem  shall  I  set 
thee  as  Ze-bo'im?  mine  heart  is  turned  within  me, 

9  my  compassions  are  kindled  together.  I  will  not 
execute  the  fierceness  of  mine  anger,  I  will  not  re- 
turn to  destroy  E'phra-im :  for  I  am  God,  and  not 
man ;  the  Holy  One  in  the  midst  of  thee :  and  I  will 

10  not  *enter  into  the  city.  They  shall  walk  after  the 
Lord,  who  .shall  roar  like  a  lion :  for  he  shall  roar, 
and  the  children  shall  come  trembling  from  the  west. 

11  They  shall  come  trembling  as  a  bird  out  of  E'gypt, 
and  as  a  dove  out  of  the  land  of  As-syr'i-a :  and  I  will 
make  them  to  dwell  in  their  houses,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  E'phra-im  compasseth  me  about  with  falsehood, 
and  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  with  deceit:  'but  Ju'dah  yet 

A  (^  ruleth  with  God,  and  is  faithful  with  the  Holy  One. 

A^  E'phra-im  feedeth  on  wind,  and  followeth  after  the 
east  wind :  he  continually  multiplieth  lies  and  deso- 
lation; and  they  make  a  covenant  with  As-syr'i-a, 

2  and  oil  is  carried  into  E'gypt.  The  Lord  hath 
also  a  controversy  with  Ju'dah,  and  will  *punish 
Ja'cob    according    to    his    ways;    according   to   his 

3  doings  will  he  reconsipense  him.  In  the  womb  he 
took  his  brother  by  the  heel ;  and  in  his  'manhood 

4  he  'had  power  with  God :  yea,  he  had  power  over 
the  angel,  and  prevailed :  he  wept,  and  made  sup- 
plication unto  him:  he  found  him  at  Beth'-el,  and 

5 there  he  spake  with  us;  'even  the  Lord,  the  God 

6 of  hosts;    the   Lord   is  his   memorial.     Therefore 

turn  thou  to  thy  God:  keep  mercy  and  judgement, 

and  wait  on  thy  God  continually. 

7     ^"He  is  "a  trafficker,  the  balances  of  deceit  are  in 

8 his  hand:    he  loveth  to  '^oppress.     And  E'phra-im 

said,  Surely   I   am   become   rich,  I   have   found   me 

wealth :  in  all  my  labours  they  shall  find  in  me  none 

9  iniquity   that  were  sin.     But  I  am  the   Lord  thy 

God  from  the  land  of  E'gypt ;  I  will  yet  again  make 

thee  to  dwell  in  tents,  as  in  the  days  of  the  solemn 

10  feast.  I  have  also  spoken  unto  the  prophets,  and  I 
have  multiplied  visions;  and'^by  the  ministry  of  the 

11  prophets  have  I  used  similitudes.  Is  Gil'e-ad  ini- 
quity? they  are  altogether  vanity;  in  Gil'gal  they 
sacrifice  bullocks :  yea,  their  altars  "are  as  heaps  in 

12  the  furrows  of  the  field.  And  Ja'cob  fled  into  the  field 
of  A'ram,  and  Is'ra-el  served  for  a  wife,  and  for  a  wife 

13  he  kept  sheep.  And  by  a  prophet  the  Lord  brought 
Is'ra-el  up  out  of  E'gypt,  and  by  a  prophet  was  he 

14''preserved.  E'phra-im  hath  provoked  to  anger  most 
bitterly :  therefore  shall  his  blood  be  left  upon  him, 
and  his  reproach  shall  his  Lord  return  unto  him. 

AO      When  E'phra-im  '"spake,  there  was  trembling ;  he 

exalted  himself  in  Ls'ra-el :  but  when  he  '^offended  in 

2  Ba'al,  he  died.     And  now  they  sin  more  and  more.

early  dew  that  passethaway,'asthechaflF<Aa<  is  driven  with  the

saviour  besides  me. 

5  ^'I  did  know  thee  in  the  wilderness,  'in  the  land  of 
great  drought. 

6  ^According  to  their  pasture,  so  were  they  filled;  they 
were  filled,  and  their  heart  was  exalted ;  therefore  'have 
they  forgotten  me. 

7  Therefore  "I  will  be  unto  them  as  a  lion :  as  "a  leopard 
by  the  way  will  I  observe  them  :

An  exhortation  to  repentance ;  a  promise  of  God's  blessing. 

0  IS'RA-EL,  "return  unto  the  Lord  thy  God ;  ''for  thou 
hast  fallen  by  thine  iniquity. 

2  Take  with  you  words,  and  turn  to  the  Lord  :  say  unto 
him.  Take  away  all  iniquity,  and  receive  us  graciously :  so 
will  we  render  the  "calves  of  our  lips. 

3  ''As'shur  shall  not  save  us ;  'we  will  not  ride  upon  horses : 
'neither  will  we  say  any  more  to  the  work  of  our  hands.  Ye 
are  our  gods :  "for  in  thee  the  fatherless  findeth  mercy. 

4  ^I  will  heal  *their  backsliding,  I  will  love  them  'freely : 
for  mine  anger  is  turned  away  from  him. 

5  I  will  be  as  *the  dew  unto  Is'ra-el :  he  shall  ||  grow  as 
the  lily,  and  feast  forth  his  roots  as  Leb'a-non. 

6  His  branches  shall  spread,  and  'his  beauty  shall  be  as 
the  olive  tree,  and  ""his  smell  as  Leb'a-non. 

7  "They  that  dwell  under  his  shadow  shall  return;  they 
shall  revive  as  the  corn,  and  grow  as  the  vine :  the  scent 
thereof  shall  be  as  the  wine  of  Leb'a-non. 

8  E'phra-im  shall  say,  "What  have  I  to  do  any  more  with 
idols?  ''I  have  heard  him,  and  observed  him:  I  am  like  a 
green  fir  tree.     'From  me  is  thy  fruit  found. 

9  'Who  is  wise,  and  he  shall  understand  these  things  f 
prudent,  and  he  shall  know  them?  for  'the  ways  of  the 
Lord  are  right,  and  the  just  shall  walk  in  them :  but  the 
transgressors  shall  fall  therein. 


and  have  made  them  molten  images  of  their  silver, 
even  idols  according  to  their  own  understanding, 
all  of  them  the  work  of  the  craftsmen :  they  say  of 
them,   Let   Hhe   men  that  sacrifice  kiss  the  calves. 

3  Therefore  they  shall  be  as  the  morning  cloud,  and 
as  the  dew  that  passeth  early  away,  as  the  chaff 
that  is  driven  with  the  whirlwind  out  of  the  thresh- 
ing-floor, and    as   the   smoke   out  of  the  chimney. 

4  Yet  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God  from  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 
and   thou  ^shalt    know  no  god   but  me,  and  beside 

5  me   there  is    no   saviour.     I  did  know  thee  in  the 

6  wilderness,  in  the  land  of  great  drought.  Accord- 
ing to  their  pasture,  so  were  they  filled;  they  were 
filled,  and  their  heart  was  exalted  :  therefore  have  they 

7  forgotten  me.   Therefore  am  I  unto  them  as  a  lion  :  as 

8  a  leopard  will  I  watch  by  the  way :  I  will  meet  them 
as  a  bear  that  is  bereaved  of  her  whelps,  and  will 
rend  the  caul  of  their  heart :  and  there  will  I  de- 
vour them    like   a  lion;   the  wild   beast  shall  tear 

9  them.     'It  is  thy  destruction,  O  Is'ra-el,  *that  thou 
Wart  against   me,  against  thy  help.     Where  now  is 

thy  king,  that  he   may  save  thee   in  all  thy  cities? 

and  thy  judges,  of  whom  thou'  saidst.  Give  me  a 
liking   and   princes?     I  have  given    thee  a  king  in 

mine  anger,  and  have  taken  him  away  in  my  wrath. 
12 The  iniquity  of  E'phra-im  is  bound  up;    his  sin  is 

13  laid  up  in  store.  The  sorrows  of  a  travailing  wo- 
man shall  come  upon  him :  he  is  an  unwise  son ; 
'for  it  is  time  he  should  not  tarry  in  the  place  of  the 

14  breaking  forth  of  children.  I  will  ransom  them 
from  the  "power  of 'the  grave;  I  will  redeem  them 
from  death :  O  death,  'where  are  thy  plagues  ?  O 
'grave,  'where  is  thy  destruction?  repentance  shall 

15  be  hid  from  mine  eyes.  Though  he  be  fruitful 
among  his  brethren,  an  east  wind  shall  come,  the 
'breath  of  the  Lord  coming  up  from  the  wilder- 
ness, and  his  spring  shall  become  dry,  and  his  fount- 
ain shall  be  dried  up :  '"he  shall  spoil  the  treasure  of 

16  all  pleasant  vessels.  Sa-ma'ri-a  shall  "bear  her  guilt; 
for  she  hath  rebelled  against  her  God :  they  shall  fall 
by  the  sword ;  their  infants  shall  be  dashed  in  pieces, 
and  their  women  with  child  shall  be  ripped  up. 

J-^      O  Is'ra-el,  return  unto  the  Lord  thy  God;  for 

2  thou  hast  fallen  by  thine  iniquity.  Take  with  you 
words,  and  return  unto  the  Lord:  say  unto  him. 
Take  away  all  iniquity,  and  '^accept  that  which  is 
good :  so  will  we  render  "as  bullocks  the  offering  of 

3  our  lips.  As'shur  shall  not  save  us;  we  will  not  ride 
upon  horses:  neither  will  we  say  any  more  to  the 
work  of  our  hands.    Ye  are  our  gods:    for  in  thee 

4  the  fatherless  findeth  mercy.  I  will  heal  their  back- 
sliding, I  will  love  them  freely :    for  mine  anger  is 

5  turned  away  from  him.  I  will  be  as  the  dew  unto 
Is'ra-el :  he  shall  blossom  as  the  lily,  and  cast  forth 

6  his  roots  as  Leb'a-non.  His  branches  shall  spread, 
and  his  beauty  shall  be  as  the  olive  tree,  and  his 

7  smell  as  Leb'a-non.  They  that  dwell  under  his 
shadow  shall  return ;  they  shall  revive  as  the  corn, 
and  blossom  as  the  vine :  "the  scent   thereof  shall 

8  be  as  the  wine  of  Leb'a-non.  '*E'phra-im  shall  say, 
What  have  I  to  do  any  more  with  idols  ?  I  have 
answered,  and  will  regard  him :    I  am  like  a  green 

9  fir  tree ;  from  me  is  thy  fruit  found.  Who  is  wise, 
and  he  shall  understand  these  things?  prudent,  and 
he  shall  know  them  ?  for  the  ways  of  the  Lord  are 
right,  and  the  just  shall  walk  in  them;  but  trans- 
gressors shall  fall  therein.

CHAPTER    I 

^Ofl,  declaring  sundry  Judgments  of  God,  exhorteth  to  observe  them, 

THE  word  of  the  Lobd  that  came  to  Jo'el  the  son   of 
Pe-thu'el. 

2  Hear  this,  ye  old  men,  and  give  ear,  all  ye  inhabitants 
of  the  land.  "Hath  this  been  in  your  days,  or  even  in  the 
days  of  your  fathers  ? 

3  'Tell  ye  your  children  of  it,  and  let  your  children  tell 
their  children,  and  their  children  another  generation. 

4  "fThat  which  the  palmerworm  hath  left  hath  the  locust 
eaten ;  and  that  which  the  locust  hath  left  hath  the  canker- 
worm  eaten ;  and  that  which  the  cankerworm  hath  left  hath 
the  caterpillar  eaten. 

5  Awake,  ye  drunkards,  and  weep ;  and  howl,  all  ye  drink- 
ers of  wine,  because  of  the  new  wine ;  ''for  it  is  cut  off  from 
your  mouth. 

6  For  'a  nation  is  come  up  upon  my  land,  strong,  and 
without  number,  -^whose  teeth  are  the  teeth  of  a  lion,  and 
he  hath  the  cheek  teeth  of  a  great  lion. 

7  He  hath  "laid  my  vine  waste,  and  fbarked  my  fig  tree : 
he  hath  made  it  clean  bare,  and  cast  it  away :  the  branches 
thereof  are  made  white. 

8  ^''Lament  like  a  virgin  girded  with  sackcloth  for  *the 
husband  of  her  youth. 

9  *The  meat  offering  and  the  drink  offering  is  cut  off 
from  the  house  of  the  Lord  ;  the  priests,  the  Lord's  min- 
isters, mourn. 

10  The  field  is  wasted,  'the  land  mourneth ;  for  the  corn  is 
wasted  :  ""the  new  wine  is  |{  dried  up,  the  oil  languisheth. 

1 1  "Be  ye  ashamed,  O  ye  husbanamen ;  howl,  O  ye  vine- 
dressers, for  the  wheat  and  for  the  barley;  because  the 
harvest  of  the  field  is  perished. 

12  "The  vine  is  dried  up,  and  the  fig  tree  languisheth;  the 
pomegranate  tree,  the  palm  tree  also,  and  the  apple  tree, 
even  all  the  trees  of  the  field,  are  withered :  because  'joy  is 
withered  away  from  the  sons  of  men. 

13  'Gird  yourselves,  and  lament,  ye  priests:  howl,  ye 
ministers  of  the  altar :  come,  lie  all  night  in  sackcloth,  ye 
ministers  of  my  God :  for  ""the  meat  offering  and  the  drink 
offering  is  withholden  from  the  house  of  your  God. 

14  ^'Sanctify  ye  a  fast,  call  'a  ||  solemn  assembly,  gather 
the  elders  and  "all  the  inhabitants  of  the  land  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord  your  God,  and  cry  unto  the  Lord, 

15  "=Alas  for  the  day !  for  "the  day  of  the  Lord  is  at 
hand,  and  as  a  destruction  from  the  Almighty  shall  it  come. 

16  Is  not  the  meat  cut  off  before  our  eyes,  yea,  ^oy  and 
gladness  from  the  house  of  our  God  ? 

17  The  fseed  is  rotten  under  their  clods,  the  garners  are  laid 
desolate,  the  barns  are  broken  down ;  for  the  corn  is  withered. 

18  How  do  "the  beasts  groan!  the  herds  of  cattle  are  per- 
plexed, because  they  have  no  pasture ;  yea,  the  flocks  of 
sheep  are  made  desolate. 

19  O  Lord, to  thee  ''will  I  cry :  for  "the  fire  hath  devoured 
the  II  pastures  of  the  wilderness,  and  the  flame  hath  burned 
all  the  trees  of  the  field. 

20  Tlie  beasts  of  the  field  ''cry  also  unto  thee :  for  'the 
rivers  of  water  are  dried  up,  and  the  fire  hath  devoured  the 
pastures  of  the  wilderness. 

CHAPTER  II. 

The  terribleness  of  ^oi's  judgments— He  exhorteth  to  repentance. 

BLOW  "ye  the  ||  trumpet  in  Zi'on,  and  'sound  an  alarm  in  my 
holy  mountain :  let  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  laud  tremble: 
for  "the  day  of  the  Lord  cometh,  for  it  is  nigh  at  hand ;

2  Hear  this,  ye  old  men,  and  give  ear,  all  ye  inhab 
itants  of  the  land.     Hath  this  been  in  your  days, 

3  or  in  the  days  of  your  fathers?  Tell  ye  your

eaten ;  and  that  which  the  locust  hath  left  hath  'the

5  hath  left  hath  'the  caterpiller  eaten.  Awake,  ye 
drunkards,  and  weep;  and  howl,  all  ye  drinkers  of

6  from  your  mouth.  For  a  nation  is  come  up  upon 
my  land,  strong,  and  without  number;  his  teeth 
are  the  teeth  of  a  lion,  and  he  hath  the  jaw  teeth

^barked  my  fig  tree :  he  hath  made  it  clean  bare,

9  for  the  husband  of  her  youth.  The  meal  offering 
and  the  drink  offering  is  cut  off  from  the  house  of 
the  Lord  ;  the  priests,  the  Lord's  ministers,  mourn. 

10  The  field  is  wasted,  the  land  mourneth ;  for  the 
corn  is  wasted,  the  new  wine  is  *dried  up,  the  oil 

11  languisheth.  'Be  ashamed,  O  ye  husbandmen, 
howl,  O  ye  vinedressers,  for  the  wheat  and  for  the 

12  barley ;  for  the  harvest  of  the  field  is  perished.  The 
vine  is  ^withered,  and  the  fig  tree  languisheth :  the

tree,  even  all  the  trees  of  the  field  are  withered :  for 

13  joy  is  *  withered  away  from  the  sons  of  men.  Gird 
yourselves  loith  sackcloth,  and  lament,  ye  priests ; 
howl,  ye  ministers  of  the  altar ;  come,  lie  all  night 
in  sackcloth,  ye  ministers  of  my  God :  for  the  meal 
offering  and  the  drink  offering  is  withholden  from 

14  the  house  of  your  God.  Sanctify  a  fast,  call  a

18  ^withered.  How  do  the  beasts  groan !  the  herds 
of  cattle  are  perplexed,  because  they  have  no  pas- 
ture; yea,  the   flocks  of  sheep  'are  made   desolate. 

19  O  Lord,  to  thee  do  I  cry :  for  the  fire  hath  devoured

20  burned  all  the  trees  of  the  field.  Yea,  the  beasts

his  ways,  and  they  shall  not  break  their  ranks : 

8  Neither  shall  one  thrust  another ;  they  shall  walk  every 
one  in  his  path:  and  when  they  fall  upon  the  || sword,  they 
shall  not  be  wounded. 

9  They  shall  run  to  and  fro  in  the  city;  they  shall  run 
upon  the  wall,  they  shall  climb  up  upon  the  houses;  they 
shall  "enter  in  at  the  windows  "like  a  thief. 

10  'The  earth  shall  quake  before  them ;  the  heavens  shall 
tremble :  'the  sun  and  the  moon  shall  be  dark,  and  the  stars 
shall  withdraw  their  shining: 

1 1  'And  the  Loed  shall  utter  his  voice  before  'his  army : 
for  his  camp  is  very  great :  "for  he  is  strong  that  executeth 
his  word :  for  the  ""day  of  the  Lord  is  great  and  very  terrible ; 
and  "who  can  abide  it? 

12  ^[Therefore  also  now,  saith  the  Lobd,  'Turn  ye  even 
to  me  with  all  your  heart,  and  with  fasting,  and  with  weep- 
ing, and  with  mourning: 

13  And  "rend  your  heart,  and  not  'your  garments,  and  turn 
unto  the  Lord  your  God:  for  he  ts 'gracious  and  merciful,slow 
to  anger,  and  of  great  kindness,  and  repenteth  him  of  the  evil. 

14  ''\Vho  knoweth  if  he  will  return  and  repent,  and  leave 
'a  blessing  behind  him ;  even  ■'a  meat  offering  and  a  drink 
offering  unto  the  Lord  your  God? 

15  ^"Blow  the  trumpet  in  Zi'on,  *sanctify  a  &st,  call  a 
solemn  assembly: 

16  Gather  the  people,  'sanctify  the  congregation,  *assen}ble 
the  elders,  'gather  the  children,  and  those  that  suck  the 
breasts:  ""let  the  bridegroom  go  forth  of  his  chamber,  and 
the  bride  out  of  her  closet. 

17  Let  the  priests,  the  ministers  of  the  Lord,  weep 
"between  the  porch  and  the  altar,  and  let  them  say,  "Spare 
thy  people,  O  Lord,  and  give  not  thine  heritage  to  reproach, 
that  the  heathen  should  ||rule  over  them:  "wherefore  should 
they  say  among  the  people.  Where  is  their  God? 

18  ^Then  will  the  Lord  "be  jealous  for  his  land,  ""and 
pity  his  people. 

19  Yea,  the  Lord  will  answer  and  say  unto  his  people. 
Behold,  I  will  send  you  'corn,  and  wine,  and  oil,  and  ye  shall 
be  satisfied  therewith :  and  I  will  no  more  make  you  a  re- 
proach among  the  heathen : 

20  But  'I  will  remove  far  off'  from  you  "the  northern 
army,  and  will  drive  him  into  a  land  barren  and  desolate, 
with  his  face  ("'toward  the  east  sea,  and  his  hinder  part 
"toward  the  utmost  sea ;  and  his  stink  shall  come  up,  and  his 
ill  savour  shall  come  up,  because  fhe  hath  done  great  things. 

21  ^Fear  not,  O  land ;  be  glad  and  rejoice :  for  the  Lord 
will  do  great  things. 

22  Be  not  afraid,  'ye  beasts  of  the  field :  for  "the  pastures 
of  the  wilderness  do  spring,  for  the  tree  beareth  her  fruit, 
the  fig  tree  and  the  vine  do  yield  their  strength. 

23  Be  glad  then,  ye  children  of  Zi'on,  and  ''rejoice  in  the 
Lord  your  God:  for  he  hath  given  you  ||the  former  rain 


and  thick  darkness,  as  the  dawn  spread  upon  the 
mountains;  a  great  people  and  a  strong,  there  hath 
not  been  ever  the  like,  neither  shall  be  any  more  after 

3  them,  even  to  the  years  of  many  generations.  A  fire 
devoureth  before  them;  and  behind  them  a  flame 
burneth:  the  land  is  as  the  garden  of  E'den  before 
them,  and  behind  them  a  desolate  wilderness ;  yea, and 

4  none  hath  escaped  them.  The  appearance  of  them 
is  as  the  appearance  of  horses ;  and  as  'horsemen,  so 

5  do  they  run.  Like  the  noise  of  chariots  on  the  tops 
of  the  mountains  do  they  leap,  like  the  noise  of  a  flame 
of  fire  that  devoureth  the  stubble,  as  a  strong  people 

6  set  in  battle  array.     At  their  presence  the  peoples 

7  are  in  anguish :  all  faces  are  waxed  pale.  They  run 
like  mighty  men ;  they  climb  the  wall  like  men  of 
war;  and  they  march  every  one  on  his  ways,  and 

8  they  break  not  their  ranks.  Neither  doth  one 
thrust  another ;  they  march  every  one  in  his  path : 
and  ^they  burst  through  the  weapons,  and  'break 

9 not  off"  their  course.  They  leap  upon  the  city; 
they  run  upon  the  wall;  they  olimb  up  into  the 
houses;  they  enter  in  at  the  windows  like  a  thief. 

10  The  earth  quaketh  before  them ;  the  heavens  tremble : 
the  sun  and  the  moon  are  darkened,  and  the  stars 

11  withdraw  their  shining:  and  the  Lord  uttereth  his 
voice  before  his  army;  for  his  camp  is  very  great; 
for  he  is  strong  that  executeth  his  word:  for  the 
day  of  the  Lord  is  great  and  very  terrible ;  and  who 

12 can  abide  it?  Yet  even  now,  saith  the  Lord,  turn 
ye  unto  me  with  all  your  heart,  and  with  &sting, 

13 and  with  weeping,  and  with  mourning:  and  rend 
your  heart,  and  not  your  garments,  and  turn  unto 
the  Lord  your  God:  for  he  is  gracious  and  full 
of   compassion,   slow   to   anger,   and    plenteous   in 

14  mercy,  and  repenteth  him  of  the  evil.  Who 
knoweth  whether  he  will  not  turn  and  repent, 
and  leave  a  blessing  behind  him,  even  a  meal 
offering  and  a  drink  oflFering  unto  the  Lord  your 
God? 

15  Blow  the  trumpet  in  Zi'on,  sanctify  a  fast,  call  a 
16 solemn  assembly:    gather  the  people,  sanctify  the 

congregation,  assemble  the  *old  men,  gather  the 
children,  and  those  that  suck  the  breasts:  let  the 
bridegroom  go  forth  of  his  chamber,  and  the  bride 

17  out  of  her  closet.  Let  the  priests,  the  ministers  of 
the  Lord,  weep  between  the  porch  and  the  altar, 
and  let  them  say,  Sjiare  thy  people,  O  Lord, 
and  give  not  thine  heritage  to  reproach,  that 
the  nations  should  'rule  over  them:  wherefore 
should  they  say  among  the  peoples.  Where  is  their 
God? 

18  Then  was  the  Lord  jealous  for  his  land,  and  had 

19  pity  on  his  people.  And  the  Lord  answered  and 
said  unto  his  people,  Behold,  I  will  send  you  corn, 
and  wine,  and  oil,  and  ye  shall  be  satisfied  there- 
with :  and   I   w^ill    no  more  make   you   a    reproach 

20 among  the  nations:  but  I  will  remove  far  off  from 
you  the  northern  army,  and  will  drive  him  into  a 
land  barren  and  desolate,  'his  forepart  'into  the 
eastern  sea,  and  his  hinder  part  'into  the  western 
sea;  and  his  stink  shall  come  up.  and  his  ill  savour 
shall  come  up,  because  he  hath  done  great  things. 

21  Fear  not,  O  land,  be  glad  and  rejoice;  for  the  Lord 

22  hath  done  great  things.  Be  not  afraid,  ye  beasts 
of  the  field ;  for  the  pastures  of  the  wilderness 
do   spring,  for  the   tret   beareth  her  fruit,  the   fig 

23 tree  and  the  vine  do  yield  their  strength.  Be 
glad  then,  ye  children  of  Zi'oa,  and  rejoice  in  the 
Lord  your  God :  for  he  giveth  you  the  former  rain

24  And  the  floors  shall  be  full  of  wheat,  and  the  fiits  shall

with  you :  and  my  people  shall  never  be  ashamed.

CHAPTER    III. 

GqcPs  judgments  against  the  enemies  of  his  people. 

FOR,  behold,  "in  those  days,  and  in  that  time,  when  I  shall 
bring  again  the  captivity  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

2  'I  will  also  gather  all  nations,  and  will  bring  them  down 
into  'the  valley  of  Je-hosh'a-phat,  and  ''will  plead  with 
them  there  for  my  people  and /or  my  heritage  Is'ra-el,  whom 
they  have  scattered  among  the  nations,  and  parted  my  land. 

3  And  they  have  'cast  lots  for  my  people ;  and  have  given 
a  boy  for  a  harlot,  and  sold  a  girl  for  wine,  that  they  might 
drink. 

4  Yea,  and  what  have  ye  to  do  with  me,  -^O  Tyre,  and 
Zi'don,  and  all  the  coasts  of  Pal'es-tine  ?  'will  ye  render  me 
a  recompense  ?  and  if  ye  recompense  me,  swiftly  and  speed- 
ily will  I  return  your  recompense  upon  your  own  head ; 

5  Because  ye  have  taken  my  silver  and  my  gold,  and  have 
carried  into  your  temples  my  goodly  fpleasant  things : 

6  The  children  also  of  Ju'dah  and  the  children  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem have  ye  sold  unto  fthe  Gre'ci-ans,  that  ye  might  re- 
move them  far  from  their  border. 

7  Behold,  *I  will  raise  them  out  of  the  place  whither  ye 
have  sold  them,  and  will  return  your  recompense  upon  your 
own  head ; 

8  And  I  will  sell  your  sons  and  your  daughters  into  the 
hand  of  the  children  of  Ju'dah,  and  they  shall  sell  them  to 
the  'Sa-be'ans,  to  a  people  *far  off:  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

9  ^'Proclaim  ye  this  among  the  Gen' tiles;  fprepare  war, 
wake  up  the  mighty  men,  let  all  the  men  of  war  draw  near ; 
let  them  come  up: 

10  "Beat  your  ploughshares  into  swords  and  your  ||prun- 
inghooks  into  spears :  "leit  the  weak  say,  I  am  strong. 

11  "Assemble  yourselves,  and  come,  all  ye  heathen,  and 
gather  yourselves  together  round  about:  thither  1| cause 
"thy  mighty  ones  to  come  down,  O  Lord. 

12  Let  the  heathen  be  wakened,  'and  come  up  to  the 
valley  of  Je-hosh'a-phat:  for  there  will  I  sit  to  "judge  all 
the  heathen  round  about. 

13  'Put  ye  in  the  sickle,  for  the  harvest  is  ripe :  come,  get 
you  down ;  for  the  "press  is  full,  the  fats  overflow ;  for  their 
wickedness  is  great. 

14  Multitudes,  multitudes  in  "'the  valley  of  |( decision:  for 
"the  day  of  the  Lord  is  near  in  the  valley  of  decision. 


'in  just  measure,  and  he  causeth  to  come  down  for 
you  the  rain,  the  former  rain  and  the  latter  rain,  ^in 

24  the  first  month.     And  the  floors  shall  be  full  of  wheat, 

25  and  the  fats  shall  overflow  with  wine  and  oil.  And 
I  will  restore  to  you  the  years  that  ^he  locust  hath 
eaten,  the  cankerworm,  and  the  caterpiller,  and  the 
palmerworm,  my  great  army  which  I  sent  among  you. 

26  And  ye  shall  eat  in  plenty  and  be  satisfied,  and  shall 
praise  the  name  of  the  Lord  your  God,  that  hath  dealt 
wondrously  with  you :  and  my  people  shall  never  be 

27  ashamed.  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  in  the  midst 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  that  I  am  the  Lord  your  God,  and 
there  is  none  else:  and  my  people  shall  never  be 
ashamed. 

28  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  afterward,  that  I  will 
pour  out  my  spirit  upon  all  flesh;  and  your  sons 
and  your  daughters  shall  prophesy,  your  old  men 
shall    dream    dreams,   your   young    men    shall    see 

29 visions:  and  also  upon  the  servants  and  upon  the 
handmaids  in  those  days  will  I  pour  out  my  spirit 

30  And  I  will  shew  wonders  in  the  heavens  and  in  the 

31  earth,  blood,  and  fire,  and  pillars  of  smoke.  The  sun 
shall  be  turned  into  darkness,  and  the  moon  into  blood, 
before  the  great  and  terrible  day  of  the  Lord  come 

32  And   it    shall    come  to    pass,  that  whosoever  shall 
call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord  shall  be  delivered 
for  in  mount  Zi'on  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  there  shall 
be  those  that  escape,  as  the  Lord  hath  said,  and 

8*among  the  remnant  those  whom  the  Lord  doth 
call.  For,  behold,  in  those  days,  and  in  that  time, 
when   I  shall  bring  again  the  captivity  of  Ju'dah 

2  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  I  will  gather  all  nations,  and  will 
bring  them  down  into  'the  valley  of  Je-hosh'a-phat ; 
and  I  will  plead  with  them  there  for  my  people  and 
for  my  heritage  Is'ra-el,  whom  they  have  scattered 

3  among  the  nations,  and  parted  my  land.  And  they 
have  cast  lots  for  my  people :  and  have  given  a  boy 
for  an  harlot,  and  sold  a  girl  for  wine,  that  they 

4  might  drink.  Yea,  and  what  are  ye  to  me,  O  Tyre, 
and  Zi'don,  and  all  the  regions  of  Phi-lis'ti-a?  'will 
ye  render  me  a  recompence?  and  if  ye  recompense 
me,  swiftly  and  speedily  will  I  return  your  'recom- 

5  pence  upon  your  own  head.  Forasmuch  as  ye 
have  taken  my  silver  and  my  gold,  and  have  carried 

6 into  your  temples  my  goodly  pleasant  things;  the 
children  also  of  Ju'dah  and  the  children  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
have  ye  sold  unto  the  sons  of  the  Gre'ci-ans,  that  ye 

7  might  remove  them  far  from  their  border :  behold, 
I  will  stir  them  up  out  of  the  place  whither  ye 
have  sold  them,  and  will  return  your  'recompence 

8 upon  your  own  head;  and  I  will  sell  your  sons  and 
your  daughters  into  the  hand  of  the  children  of 
Ju'dah,  and  they  shall  sell  them  to  the  men  of  She'ba, 
to  a  nation  far  ofi^;  ibr  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

9  Proclaim  ye  this  among  the  nations;  'prepare 
war:  stir  up  the  mighty  men ;  let  all  the  men  of  war 

10  draw  near,  let  them  come  up.  Beat  your  plowshares 
into   swords,  and  your  pruninghooks  into   spears: 

11  let  the  weak  say,  I  am  strong.  'Haste  ye,  and  come, 
all  ye  nations  round  about,  and  gather  yourselves 
together:   thither  cause  thy  mighty  ones  to  come 

12  down,  O  Lord.  Let  the  nations  bestir  themselves, 
and  come  up  to  the  valley  of  '"Je-hosh'a-phat :  for  there 

13  will  I  sit  to  judge  all  the  nations  round  about.  Put 
ye  in  the  sickle,  for  the  "harvest  is  ripe:  come, 
'^read  ye ;  for  the  winepress  is  full,  the  fats  over- 

14 flow;  for  their  wickedness  is  great.  Multitudes, 
multitudes  in  the  valley  of  decision !  for  the  day 
of  the   Lord   is  near  in  the    valley   of  decision.

AMOS, 


CHAPTER  I. 

Amos  sheweth  God^ s  judgments  upon  Syria,  &c. 

THE  words  of  A'mos,  "who  was  among  the  herdmen  of 
'Te-ko'a,  which  he  saw  concerning  Is'ra-el  "in  the  days  of 
Uz-zi'ah  kingof  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  days  of ''Jer-o-bo'am  the  son 
of  Jo'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el,  two  years  before  the  'earthquake. 

2  And  he  said.  The  Lord  will  -^roar  from  Zi'on,  and  utter 
his  voice  from  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and  the  habitations  of  the  shep- 
herds shall  mourn,  and  the  top  of  "Car'mel  shall  wither. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  For  three  transgressions  of 
*Da-mas'cus,  ||  and  for  four,  I  will  not  ||  turn  away  the  punish- 
ment thereof;  'because  they  have  threshed  Gil'e-ad  with 
threshing  instruments  of  iron  : 

4  *But  I  will  send  a  fire  into  the  house  of  Haz'a-el,  which 
shall  devour  the  palaces  of  Ben-ha'dad. 

5  I  will  break  also  the  'bar  of  Da-mas'cus,  and  cut  off  the 
inhabitant  from  ||the  plain  of  A'ven,  and  him  that  holdeth 
the  sceptre  from  ||the  house  of  E'den:  and  ""the  people  of 
Syr'i-a  shall  go  into  captivity  "unto  Kir,  saith  the  Lord. 

6  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord;  for  three  transgressions  of 
"Ga'za,  and  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the  punishment 
thereof;  because  they  ||  carried  away  captive  the  whole 
captivity,  ''to  deliver  them  up  to  E'dom : 

7  "But  I  will  send  a  fire  on  the  wall  of  Ga'za,  which  shall 
devour  the  palaces  thereof: 

8  And  I  will  cut  off  the  inhabitant  'from  Ash'dod,  and  him 
that  holdeth  the  sceptre  from  Ash'ke-lon,  and  I  will  'turn 
mine  hand  against  Ek'ron :  and  the  remnant  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines  shall  perish,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

9  5[Thu8  saith  the  Lord;  For  three  transgressions  of 
"Ty'rus,  and  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the  punishment 
thereof;  "'because  they  delivered  up  the  whole  captivity  to 
E'dom,  and  remembered  not  fthe  brotherly  covenant : 

10  "But  I  will  send  a  fire  on  the  wall  of  Ty'rus,  which 
shall  devour  the  palaces  thereof. 

11  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord;  For  three  transgressions  of 
"E'dom,  and  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the  punishment 
thereof;  because  he  did  pursue  "his  brother  'with  the  sword, 
and  fdid  cast  off  all  pity,  'and  his  anger  did  tear  perpetually, 
and  he  kept  his  wrath  for  ever : 

12  But  ''I  will  send  a,  fire  upon  Te'man,  which  shall  devour 
the  palaces  of  Boz'rah. 


AMOS. 


i  The  words  of  A'mos,  who  was  among  the  herd- 
men  of  Te-ko'a,  which  he  saw  concerning  Is'ra-el  in 
the  days  of  Uz-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah,  and  in  the  days 
of  Jer-o-bo'am  the  son  of  Jo'ash  king  of  Is'ra-el,  two 
years  before  the  'earthquake. 

2  And  he  said,  The  Lord  shall  roar  from  Zi'on,  and 
utter  his  voice  irom  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  the  'pastures  of 
the  shepherds  shall  mourn,  and  the  top  of  Car'mel 
shall  wither. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  For  three  transgressions 
of  Da-mas'cus,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not  *turn  away 
'the  punishment  thereof;  because  they  have  threshed 

4  Gil'e-ad  with  threshing  instruments  of  iron :  but  I 
will  send  a  fire  into  the  house  of  Haz'a-el,  and  it 

5  shall  devour  the  palaces  of  Ben-ha'dad.  And  I  will 
break  the  bar  of  Da-mas'cus,  and  cut  off  *the  inhabitant 
from  the  valley  of  'A'ven,  and  him  that  holdeth  the 
sceptre  from  ^°the  house  of  E'den  :  and  the  people  of 
Syr'i-ashall  go  into  captivity  unto  Kir,  saith  the  Lord. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  For  three  transgressions 
of  Ga'za,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof;  because  they  carried  away 
captive  "the  whole  people,  to  deliver  them   up  to 

7  E'dom :  but  I  will  send  a  fire  on  the  wall  of  Ga'za,

holdeth  the  sceptre  from  Ash'ke-lon ;  and  I  will  turn 
mine  hand  against  Ek'ron,  and  the  remnant  of  the 
Fhi-lis'tines  shall  perish,  saith  the  Lord  GoD, 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  For  three  transgressions 
of  Tyre,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof;  because  they  delivered  up  "the 
whole   people  to   E'dom,  and  remembered  not  '^the 

10  brotherly  covenant :  but  I  will  send  a  fire  on  the 
wall  of  Tyre,  and  it  shall  devour  the  palaces  thereof. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  For  three  transgressions 
of  E'dom,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof;  because  he  did  pursue  his 
brother  with  the  sword,  and  "did  cast  off  all  pity, 
and   his  anger  did  tear  perpetually,  and   he  kept 

12 his  wrath  for  ever:  but  1  will  send  a  fire  upon

ishment  thereof;  because  they  have  || -^ripped  up  the  women 
with  child,  of  Gil'e-ad,  'that  they  might  enlarge  their  border : 

14  But  I  will  kindle  a  fire  in  the  wall  of ''Rab'bah,  and  it 
shall  devour  the  palaces  thereof,  'with  shouting  in  the  day 
of  battle,  with  a  tempest  in  the  day  of  the  whirlwind : 

15  And  *their  king  shall  go  into  Captivity,  he  and  his 
princes  together,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER    II. 

God's  wrath  against  Moab;  upon  Judah;  aytd  upon  Israel, 

rnnUS  saith  the  Lord  ;  For  three  transgressions  of  "Mo'ab, 
X  and  for  four,  I  will  notturn  away  the  punishment  thereof;  be- 
cause he  ''burned  the  bones  of  the  king  of  E'doni  into  lime : 

2  But  I  will  send  a  fire  upon  Mo'ab,  and  it  shall  devour 
the  palaces  of  °Kir'i-oth :  and  Mo'ab  shall  die  with  tumult, 
''with  shouting,  and  with  the  sound  of  the  trumpet: 

3  And  I  will  cut  off  'the  judge  from  the  midst  thereof,  and 
will  slay  all  the  princes  thereof  Avith  him,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  5[Thus  saith  the  Lord;  for  three  transgressions  of 
Ju'dah,  and  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the  punishment 
thereof;  ■''because  they  have  despised  the  law  of  the  Lord, 
and  have  not  kept  his  commandments,  and  'their  lies  caused 
them  to  err,  'after  the  which  their  fathers  have  walked : 

5  "But  I  will  send  a  fire  upon  Ju'dah,  and  it  shall  devour 
the  palaces  of  Je-ru'sa-lenj. 

6  1[Thus  saith  the  Lord;  For  three  transgressions  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the  punishment 
thereof;  because  *they  sold  the  righteous  for  silver,  and 
the  poor  for  a  pair  of  shoes ; 

7  That  pant  after  the  dust  of  the  earth  on  the  head  of  the  poor, 
and  'turn  aside  the  way  of  the  meek :  ""and  a  man  and  his  father 
will  go  in  unto  the  same  ||  maid,  "to  profane  my  holy  name : 

8  And  they  lay  themselves  down  upon  clothes  "laid  to 
pledge ''by  every  altar,  and  they  drink  the  wine  of  ||the 
condemned  in  the  house  of  their  god. 

9  "^  Yet  destroyed  I  the  "Am'o-rite  before  them, ''whose  height 
waslike  the  height  of  the  cedars,  and  he  was  strong  as  the  oaks; 
yet  I  'destroyed  his  fruit  from  above,  and  his  roots  from  beneath. 

10  Also  'I  brought  you  up  from  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and 
"led  you  forty  years  through  the  wilderness,  to  possess  the 
land  of  the  Am'o-rite. 

11  And  I  raised  up  of  your  sons  for  prophets,  and  of  your 
young  men  for  "^Isaz'a-rites.  Is  it  not  even  thus,  O  ye 
children  of  Is'ra-el?  saith  the  Lord. 

12  But  ye  gave  the  Naz'a-rites  wine  to  drink;  and  com- 
manded the  prophets,  "saying,  Prophesy  not. 

13  'Behold,  ||  I  am  pressed  under  you,  as  a  cart  is  pressed 
that  is  full  of  sheaves. 

14  "Therefore  the  flight  shall  perish  from  the  swift,  and 
the  strong  .shall  not  strengthen  his  force,  'neither  shall  the 
mighty  deliver  fhimself : 

15  Neither  shall  he  stand  that  handleth  the  bow ;  and  he 
that  is  swift  of  foot  shall  not  deliver  himself:  ''neither  shall 
he  that  rideth  the  horse  deliver  himself. 

16  And  he  that  is  fcourageous  among  the  mighty  shall 
flee  away  naked  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord.

HEAR  this  word  that  the  Lord  hath  spoken  against  you. 
O  children  of  Is'ra-el  against  the  whole  family  which  I

2  "You  only  have  I  known  of  all  the  families  of  the  earth : 
''therefore  I  will  fpunish  you  for  all  your  iniquities. 

3  Can  two  walk  together,  except  they  be  agreed? 

4  Will  a  lion  roar  in  the  forest,  when  he  hath  no  prey?

nothing?

13  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  For  three  transgressions 
of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not 
turn  away  the  punishment  thereof;  because  they 
have  ripped   up  the  women  with  child  of  Gil'e-ad, 

14 that  they  might  enlarge  their  border:  but  I  will

15  and  their  king  shall  go  into  captivity,  he  and  his 
princes  together,  saith  the  Lord. 

/  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  For  three  transgressions 
of  Mo'ab,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof;    because   he  burned  the  bones 

2  of  the  king  of  E'dom  into  lime :  but  I  will  send  a 
fire  upon  Mo'ab,  and  it  shall  devour  the  palaces  of 
Ker'i-oth ;    and  Mo'ab  shall   die  with   tumult,  with 

3 shouting,  and  with  the  sound  of  the  trumpet:  and  I 
will  cut  off  the  judge  from  the  midst  thereof,  and 
will  slay  all  the  princes  thereof  with  him,  saith  the 
Lord. 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  For  three  transgressions 
of  Ju'dah,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof;  because  they  have  rejected  the 
law  of  the  Lord,  and  have  not  kept  his  statutes,  and 
their  lies  have  caused  them  to  err,  after  the  which 

5  their  fathers  did  walk  :  but  I  will  send  a  fire  upon 
Ju'dah,  and  it  shall  devour  the  palaces  of  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  :  For  three  transgressions 
of  Is'ra-el,  yea,  for  four,  I  will  not  turn  away  the 
punishment  thereof:  because  they  have  sold  the 
righteous  for   silver,  and  the   needy  for  a  pair  of 

7 shoes:  that  pant  after  the  dust  of  the  earth  on  the 
head  of  the  poor,  and  turn  aside  the  way  of  the 
meek  :    and  a  man  and  his  father  will  go  unto  the 

8sa»iP  'maid,  to  profane  my  holy  name:  and  they  lay 
themselves  down  beside  every  altar  upon  clothes 
^taken  in  pledge,  and  in  the  house  of  their  God  they 

9  drink  the  wine  of  such  as  have  been  fined.  Yet 
destroyed  I  the  Am'o-rite  before  them,  whose  height 
was  like  the  height  of  the  cedars,  and  he  was  strong 
as  the  oaks;   yet  I  destroyed  his  fruit  from  above, 

10  and  his  roots  from  beneath.  Also  I  brought  you 
up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  led  you  forty  years 
in  the  wilderness,  to  possess  the  land  of  the  Am'o-rite. 

11  And  I  raised  up  of  your  sons  for  prophets,  and  of 
your  young  men  for  Xaz'i-rites.     Is  it  not  even  thus, 

12  O  ye  children  of  Is'ra-el?  saith  the  Lord.  But  ye 
gave  the  Naz'i-rites  wine  to  drink;  and  commanded 

13  the  prophets,  saying.  Prophesy  not.  Behold,  ^I  will 
press  you  in  your  place,  as  a  cart  presseth  that  is  full 

14  of  sheaves.  And  ^flight  shall  perish  from  the  swift, 
and  the  strong  shall  not  strengthen  his  force,  neither 

15  shall  the  mighty  deliver  'himself;  neither  shall  he 
stand  that  handleth  the  bow;  and  he  that  is  swift  of 
foot  shall  not  deliver  himself:    neither  shall  he  that 

16  rideth  the  horse  deliver  'himself:  and  he  that  is 
courageous  among  the  mighty  shall  flee  away  naked 
in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord. 

■0  Hear  this  word  that  the  Lord  hath  spoken  against 
you,  O  children  of  Is'ra-el,  against  the  whole  family 
which  I  brought  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  saying, 

2  You  only  have  I  known  of  all  the  families  of  the 
earth :    therefore    I   will   visit    upon   you   all    vour 

3  iniquities.     Shall    two   walk   together,  except   they 
4 have  ^agreed?    Will  a  lion  roar  in  the  forest,  when 

he  hath   no    prey?    will   a  young   lion  cry  out  of 

5  his   den,    if  he    have   taken    nothing?    Can  a  bird 

fall  in  a  snare  upon  the  earth,  where  no  gin  is  seti

9  ^Publish  in  the  palaces  at  Ash'dod,  and  in  the  palaces

10  For  they  'know  not  to  do  right,  saith  the  Lord,  who 
store  up  violence  and  ||  robbery  in  their  palaces. 

11  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  ''An  adversary 
there  shall  be  even  round  about  the  land;  and  he  shall  bring 
down  thy  strength  from  thee,  and  thy  palaces  shall  be  spoiled. 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  As  the  shepherd  ftaketh  out  of 
the  mouth  of  the  lion  two  legs,  or  a  piece  of  an  ear ;  so  shall 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  be  taken  out  that  dwell  in  Sa-ma'ri-a

Lord  God,  the  God  of  hosts, 

14  That,  in  the  day  that  I  shall  ||  visit  the  transgressions  of 
Is'ra-el  upon  him,  I  will  also  visit  the  altars  of  Beth'-el :  and 
the  horns  of  the  altar  shall  be  cut  off,  and  fall  to  the  ground. 

15  And  I  will  smite  'the  winter  house  with  *the  summer 
house;  and  'the  houses  of  ivory  shall  perish,  and  the  great 
houses  shall  have  an  end,  saith  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

Israel  reproved  /or  oppression  ;  /or  idolatry;  and /or  their  incorrigibleness. 

HEAR  this  word, ye  ""kine  of  Ba'shan,  that  are  in  the  mount- 
ain of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  which  oppress  the  poor,  which  crush 
the  needy,  which  say  to  their  masters.  Bring,  and  let  us  drink. 

2  ^he  Lord  God  hath  sworn  by  his  holiness,  that,  lo,  the 
days  shall  come  upon  you,  that  he  will  take  you  away  "with 
hooks,  and  your  posterity  with  fishhooks. 

3  And  ''ye  shall  go  out  at  the  breaches,  every  cow  at  that 
which  is  before  her;  and  ||ye  shall  cast  them  into  the  palace, 
saith  the  Lord. 

4  ^'Come  to  Beth'-el  and  transgress :  at  'Gil'gal  multiply 
transgression ;  and  "bring  your  sacrifices  every  morning, 
^and  your  tithes  after  fthree  years : 

5  'And  foffer  a  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  with  leaven,  and 
proclaim  and  publish  *the  free  offerings :  'for  fthis  liketh 
you,  O  ye  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

6  ^And  I  also  have  given  you  cleanness  of  teeth  in  all 
your  cities,  and  want  of  bread  in  all  your  places :  "yet  have 
ye  not  returned  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  And  also  I  have  withholden  the  rain  from  you,'  when 
there  were  yet  three  months  to  the  harvest :  and  I  caused  it 
to  rain  upon  one  city,  and  caused  it  not  to  rain  upon  an- 
other city :  one  piece  was  rained  upon,  and  the  piece 
whereupon  it  rained  not  withered. 

8  So  two  or  three  cities  wandered  unto  one  city,  to  drink 
water ;  but  they  were  not  satisfied :  "yet  have  ye  not  re- 
turned unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

9  "I  have  smitten  you  with  blasting  and  mildew :  ||  when 
your  gardens  and  your  vineyards  and  your  fig  trees  and 
your  olive  trees  increased,  "the  palmerworm  devoured  them : 
yet  have  ye  not  returned  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  I  have  sent  among  you  the  pestilence  || 'after  the  man- 
ner of  E'gypt :  your  young  men  nave  I  slain  with  the  sword, 
fand  have  taken  away  your  horses;  and  I  have  made  the 
stink  of  your  camps  to  come  up  unto  your  nostrils :  "^yet  have 
ye  not  returned  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

Ill  have  overthrown  some  of  you,  as  God  overthrew 
•Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  'and  ye  ^ere  as  a  firebrand  plucked 


for  him?  shall  a  snare  spring  up  from  the  ground, 
6 and  have  taken  nothing  at  all?  Shall  the  trumpet 

be  blown  in  a  city,  and  the  people  not  be  afraid? 

shall  evil  befall  a  city,  and  the  Lord  hath  not  done 
7 it?     Surely  the  Lord  God  will  do  nothing,  but  he 

revealeth  his  secret  unto  his  servants  the  prophets. 

8  The  lion  hath  roared,  who  will  not  fear?  the  Lord 
God  hath  spoken,  who  can  but  prophesy? 

9  Publish  ye  'in  the  palaces  at  Ash'dod,  and  Hn  the 
palaces  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  say.  Assemble 
yourselves  upon  the  mountains  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
behold  what  great   tumults  are  therein,  and  what 

10 oppressions  in  the  midst  thereof.  For  they  know 
not  to  do  right,  saith  the  Lord,  who  store  up  vio- 

11  lence  and  robbery  in  their  palaces.  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God:  An  adversary  there  shall  be 
even  round  about  the  land :  and  he  shall  bring  down 
thy  strength   from  thee,  and  thy   palaces  shall    be 

12  spoiled.  Thus  saith  the  Ix)RD:  As  the  shepherd 
rescueth  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  lion  two  legs,  or  a 
piece  of  an  ear ;  so  shall  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  be 
rescued  that  sit  in  Sa-ma'ri-a  in  the  corner  of  a  couch, 

13  and  ^on  the  silken  cushions  of  a  bed.  Hear  ye 
and  testify  against  the  house  of  Ja'cob,    saith    the 

14  Lord  God,  the  God  of  hosts.  For  in  the  day  that 
I  shall  visit  the  transgressions  of  Is'ra-el  upon  him, 
I  will  also  visit  the  altars  of  Beth'-el,  and  the  horns 
of  the  altar  shall  be  cut  off,  and  fall  to  the  ground. 

16  And  I  will  smite  ^the  winter  house  with  the*summer 
house;  and  the  houses  of  ivory  shall  perish,  and 
Hhe  great  houses  shall  have  an  end,  saith  the  Lord. 

^  Hear  this  word,  ye  kine  of  Ba'shan,  that  are  in  the 
mountain  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  which  oppress  the  poor,  which 
crush  the  needy,  which  say  unto  their  lords.  Bring,  and 

2  let  us  drink.  The  Lord  God  hath  sworn  by  his  holi- 
ness, that,  lo,  the  days  shall  come  upon  you,  that  they 
shall  take  you  away  with  hooks,  and  your  residue 

3  with  fish  hooks.  And  ye  shall  go  out  at  the  breaches, 
every  one  straight  before  her;  ''and  ye  shall  cast 
yourselves  into  Har'mon,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  CometoBeth'-el,andtransgress;  to Gil'gal, and  mul- 
tiply transgression ;    and  bring  your  sacrifices  every 

5  morning,  and  your  tithes  every  three  days;  and  'offer 
a  sacrifice  of  thanksgiving  of  that  which  is  leavened, 
and  proclaim  freewill  offerings  and  publish  them :  for 
this  liketh  you,  Oye  children  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord 

6  God.  A^nd  I  also  have  given  you  cleanness  of  teeth  in 
all  your  cities,  and  want  of  bread  in  all  your  places :  yet 

7  have  ye  not  returned  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord.  And  I 
also  have  withholden  the  rain  from  you,  when  there 
were  yet  three  months  to  the  harvest :  and  I  caused  it 
to  rain  upon  one  city,  and  caused  it  not  to  rain  upon 
another  city :  one  piece  was  rained  upon,  and   the 

8  piece  whereupon  it  rained  not  withered.  So  two  or 
three  cities  wandered  unto  one  city  to  drink  water,  and 
were  not  satisfied :   yet  have  ye  not  returned  unto  me, 

9  saith  the  Lord.  I  have  smitten  you  with  blasting  and 
mildew:  the  multitude  of  your  gardens  and  your 
vineyards  and  your  fig  trees  and  your  olive  trees  hath 
the  palmerworm  devoured :  yet  have  ye  not  returned 

10  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord.  I  have  sent  among  you  the 
pestilence  after  the  manner  of  E'gypt :  your  young 
men  have  I  slain  with  the  sword,  'and  have  carried 
away  your  horses;  and  I  have  made  the  stink  of  your 
camp  to  come  up  even  into  your  nostrils :  yet  have  ye 

11  not  returned  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord.  I  have  over- 
thrown som£  among  you,  as  when  God  overthrew  Sod'-

I  will  do  this  unto  thee,  ''prepare  to  meet  thy  God,  O  Is'ra-el.

CHAPTER   V. 

A  lamentation  /or  Isratfl—An  exhortation  to  repentance. 

HEAR  ye  this  word  which  I  "take  up  against  you,  even 
a  lamentation,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

2  The  virgin  of  Is'ra-el  is  fallen ;  she  .shall  no  more  rise : 
she  is  forsaken  upon  her  land :  there  is  none  to  raise  her  up. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  The  city  that  went  out 
by  a  thousand  shall  leave  a  hundred,  and  that  which  went 
forth  by  a  hundred  shall  leave  ten,  to  the  house  of  Ls'i-a-el. 

4  ^For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto  the  house  of  Is'ra-el, 
'Seek  ye  me,  "^and  ye  shall  live : 

5  But  seek  not  ''Beth'-el,  nor  enter  into  Gil'gal,  and  pa.ss 
not  to  'Be'er-she'ba :  for  Gil'gal  shall  surely  go  into  cap- 
tivity, and  ■'^Beth'-el  shall  come  to  nought. 

6  "Seek  the  Lord,  and  ye  shall  live ;  lest  he  break  out 
like  fire  in  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  and  devour  it,  and  there 
be  none  to  quench  it  in  Beth'-el. 

7  Ye  who  *turn  judgment  to  wormwood,  and  leave  off 
righteousness  in  the  earth, 

8  (SeeAAmthatmaketh  the 'seven  starsand  0-ri'on,andturneth 
the  shadow  of  death  into  the  morning,*and  maketh  the  day  dark 
with  night:  that 'calleth  for  the  waters  of  the  sea,  and  poureth 
them  out  upon  the  face  of  the  earth  :  "The  Lord  is  his  name: 

9  That  strengtheneth  the  fsjKiiled  against  the  strong,  so 
that  the  spoiled  shall  come  against  the  fortress. 

10  "They  hate  him  that  rebuketh  in  the  gate,  and  they 
"abhor  him  that  speaketh  uprightly. 

11  Forasmuch  therefore  as  your  treading  is  upon  the  poor, 
and  ye  take  from  him  burdens  of  wheat:  ^ye  have  built  houses 
of  hewn  stone,  but  ye  shall  not  dwell  in  them ;  ye  have  planted 
tpleasant  vineyards,  but  ye  shall  not  drink  wine  of  them. 

12  For  I  know  your  manifold  transgressions  and  your 
mighty  sins:  'they  afflict  the  just,  they  take  ||a  bribe,  and 
they  ''turn  aside  the  poor  in  the  gate  from  their  right. 

13  Therefore  'the  prudent  shall  keep  silence  in  that  time ; 
for  it  is  an  evil  time ; 

14  Seek  good,  and  not  evil,  that  ye  may  live:  and  so  the 
Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  shall  be  with  you, 'as  ye  have  spoken. 

15  "Hate  the  evil,  and  love  the  good,  and  establish  judg- 
ment in  the  gate :  ^it  may  be  that  the  Lord  GoD  of  hosts 
will  be  gracious  unto  the  remnant  of  Jo'seph. 

16  Therefore,  the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  the  Lord,  saith 
thus ;  Wailing  .'ihall  be  in  all  streets ;  and  they  shall  say  in  all 
the  highways,  Alas!  alas!  and  they  shall  call  the  husbandmen 
to  mourning,and  "such  as  are  skilful  of  lamentation  to  wailing. 

17  And  in  all  vineyards  shall  be  wailing:  for  'I  will  pass 
through  thee,  saith  the  Lord. 

1 8  "Woe  unto  you  that  desire  the  day  ofthe  Lord!  to  what  end 
is  it  for  you?  Hhe  day  ofthe  Lord  is  darkness,  and  not  light. 

19  "As  if  a  man  did  flee  from  a  lion,  and  a  bear  met  him ; 
or  went  into  the  house,  and  leaned  his  hand  on  the  wall, 
and  a  serpent  bit  him. 

20  Shall  not  the  day  of  the  Lord  be  darkness,  and  not 
light?  even  very  dark,  and  no  brightness  in  it? 

21  ^""I  hate,  I  despise  your  feast  days,  and  'I  will  not 
II  smell  in  your  solemn  assemblies. 

22  -Though  you  offer  me  burnt  offerings  and  your  meat 
offerings,  I  will  not  accept  them;  neither  will  I  regard  the 
II  peace  offerings  of  your  fat  beasts. 

23  Take  thou  away  from  me  the  noise  of  thy  songs ;  for  I 
will  not  hear  the  melody  of  thy  viols. 


out  ofthe  burning:  yet  have  ye  not  returned  unto  me, 

12  saith  the  Lord.  Therefore  thus  will  I  do  unto  thee, 
O  Is'ra-el :  and  because  I  will  do  this  unto  thee,  prepare 

13  to  meet  thy  God,  O  Is'ra-el.  For,  lo,  he  that  formeth 
the  mountains,  and  createth  the  wind,  and  declareth 
unto  man  what  is  his  thought,  that  maketh  the  morn- 
ing darkness,  and  treadeth  upcn  the  high  places  of 
the  earth ;  the  Lord,  the  God  cf  hosts,  is  his  name. 

O     Hear  ye  this  word  which  I  take  up  for  a  lamen- 

2  tation  over  you,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el.  The  virgin  of 
Is'ra-el  is  fallen ;  she  shall  no  more  rise :  she  'is  cast 
down  upon  her  land ;  there  is  none  to  raise  her  up. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  :  the  city  that  went 
forth  a  thousand  shall  have  an  hundred  left,  and  that 
which  went  forth  an  hundred  shall  have  ten  left,  to 

4  the  house  of  Ls'ra-el.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto 
the  house  of  I.s'ra-el,  Seek  ye  me,  and  ye  shall  live  : 

5  but  seek  not  Beth'-el,  nor  enter  into  Gil'gal,  and 
pass  not  to  Be'er-she'ba :  for  Gil'gal  shall  surely  go 
into  captivity,  and  Beth'-el  shall  ^come  to  nought. 

6  Seek  the  Lord,  and  j'e  shall  live ;  lest  he  break  out 
like  fire  in  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  and  it  devour  and 

7  there  be  none  to  quench  it  in  Beth'-el :  ye  who  turn 
judgement  to  wormwood,  and  cast  down  righteous- 

8  ness  to  the  earth ;  seek  him  that  maketh  the  Ple'ia- 
des  and  O-ri'on,  and  turneth  'the  shadow  of  death 
into  the  morning,  and  maketh  the  day  dark  with 
night;  that  calleth  for  the  waters  of  the  sea,  and 
poureth   them   out  upon  the  face  of  the  earth  ;  the 

9  Lord  is  his  name ;  that  ''bringeth  sudden  destruc- 
tion  upon    the   strong,    so   that  destruction  cometh 

10 upon  the  fortress.  They  hate  him  that  reproveth  in 
the  gate,   and   they   abhor  him  that  speaketh   up- 

11  rightly.  Forasmuch  therefore  as  ye  trample  upon 
the  poor,  and  take  exactions  from  him  of  wheat :  ye 
have  built  houses  of  hewn  stone,  but  ye  shall  not 
dwell  in  them;  ye  have  planted  pleasant  vineyards, 

12  but  ye  shall  not  drink  the  wine  thereof.  For  I 
know  how  manifold  are  your  transgressions  and 
how  mighty  are  your  sins;  ye  that  afflict  the  just, 
that  take  a  bribe,  and  that  turn  aside  the  needy  in 

13  the  gate  from  their  right.  Therefore  he  that  is  pru- 
dent shall  keep  silence  in  such  a  time  ;  for  it  is  an  evil 

14  time.  Seek  good,  and  not  evil,  that  ye  may  live :  and 
so  the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts,  shall  be  with  you,  as  ye 

15  say.  Hate  the  evil,  and  love  the  good,  and  establish 
judgement  in  the  gate :  it  may  be  that  the  Lord,  the 
God  of  hosts,  will  be  gracious  unto  the  remnant  of 

16  Jo'seph.  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of 
hosts,  the  Lord :  Wailing  shall  be  in  all  the  broad 
ways;  and  they  shall  say  in  all  the  streets,  Alas!  alas! 
and  they  shall  call  the  husbandmen  to  mourning,  ''and 

17  such  as  are  skilful  of  lamentation  to  wailing.  And  in 
all  vineyards  shall  be  wailing :  for  I  will  pass  through 

18  the  midst  of  thee,  saith  the  Lord.  Woe  unto  you  that 
desire  the  day  of  the  Lord  !  M-herefore  would  ye  have 
the  day  of  the  Lord?  it  is  darkness,  and  not  light. 

19  As  if  a  man  did  flee  from  a  lion,  and  a  bear  met 
him ;  ^or  went  into  the  house  and  leaned  his  hand 

20  on  the  wall,  and  a  serpent  bit  him.  Shall  not  the 
day  of  the  Lord  be  darkness,  and  not  light?  even 

21  very  dark,  and  no  brightness  in  it  ?  I  hate,  I  de- 
spise your  feasts,  and  I  'will  take  no  delight  in  your 

22  solemn  assemblies.  Yea,  though  ye  offer  me  *your 
burnt  offerings  and  meal  offerings,  I  will  not  accept 
them :  neither  will  I  regard  the  'peace   offerings  of 

23  your  fat  beasts.  Take  thou  away  from  me  the  noise  of 
thy  songs ;  for  I  will  not  hear  the  melody  of  thy  viols.

The  wantonness  o/ Israel  shall  be piagued  with  desolation, 

WOE  "to  them  that  \\are  at  ease  in   Zi'on,  and  trust  in 
the  mountain  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  wAicA  are  named  'H  chief

2  ""Pass  ye  unto  ''Cal'neh,  and  see ;  and  from  thence  go  ye 
to  'Ha'math  the  great ;  then  go  down  to  •'^Gath  of  the  Phi-lis'- 
tines :  'be  they  better  than  these  kingdoms  ?  or  their  border 
greater  than  your  border? 

3  Ye  that *put  faraway  the  'evil  day,  *and  cause  'the  ||seat 
of  violence  to  come  near ; 

4  That  lie  upon  beds  of  ivory,  and  ||  stretch  themselves 
upon  their  couches,  and  eat  the  lambs  out  of  the  flock,  and 
the  calves  out  of  the  midst  of  the  stall ; 

5  ""That  II  chant  to  the  sound  of  the  viol,  and  invent  to

7  ^Therefore  now  shall  they  go  captive  with  the  first 
that  go  captive,  and  the  banquet  of  them  that  stretched

8  "The  Lord  God  hath  sworn  by  himself,  saith  the  Lord  the 
God  of  hosts,  I  abhor  'the  excellency  of  Ja'cob,  and  hate  his  pal-

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  there  remain  ten  men  in 
one  house,  that  they  shall  die. 

10  And  a  man's  uncle  shall  take  him  up,  and  he  that  burneth 
him,  to  bring  out  the  bonesout  of  the  house,  and  shall  say  unto 
him  that  is  by  the  sides  of  the  house,  Is  there  yet  any,with  thee  ?

12  ^Shall  horses  run  upon  the  rock?  will  one  plough  there

Have  we  not  taken  to  us  horns  by  our  own  strength  ? 

14  But,  behold,  "I  will  raise  up  against  you  a  nation,  O  house 
of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord  the  God  of  hosts ;  and  they  shall 
afflict  you  from  the  "entering  in  of  Ha'math  unto  the  ||  river 
of  the  wilderness. 

CHAPTER    VIL 

The  judgments  are  diverted  by  the  prayer  of  Amos,  &c. 

THUS  hath  the  Lord  God  shewed  unto  me ;  and,  behold, 
he  formed  ||  grasshoppers  in  the  beginning  of  the  shoot- 
ing up  of  the  latter  growth ;  and,  lo,  it  was  the  latter 
growth  after  the  king's  mowings. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  thai  when  they  had  made  an  end  of 
eating  the  grass  of  the  land,  then  I  said,  O  Lord  God,  forgive, 
I  beseech  thee:  °||by  whom  shallJa'cob  arise  ?  forheissmall. 

3  'The  Lord  repented  for  this :  It  shall  not  be,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  ^jThus  hath  the  Lord  God  shewed  unto  me :  and,  be- 
hold, the  Lord  God  called  to  contend  by  fire,  and  it  devoured 
the  great  deep,  and  did  eat  up  a  part. 

5  Then  said  I,  O  Lord  God,  cease,  I  beseech  thee :  °by 
whom  shall  Ja'cob  arise?  for  he  is  small. 

6  The  Lord  repented  for  this:  This  also  shall  not  be, 
Baith  the  Lord  God. 


24ButletjudgementroUdownas  waters,  and  righteous 
25ness  as  a  'mighty  stream.     Did  ye  bring  unto  me 

sacrifices  and  ^offerings  in  the  wilderness  forty  years, 
26 O  house  of  Is'ra-el?    Yea,  ye  'have  borne  ^Sic'cuth 

your  king  and  'Chi'un  your  images,  the  star  of  your 
27  god,  which  ye  made  to  yourselves.     Therefore  will 

I  cause  you  to  go  into  captivity  beyond  Da-mas'cus, 

saith  the  Lord,  whose  name  is  the  God  of  hosts. 

O  Woe  to  them  that  are  at  ease  in  Zi'on,  and  to 
them  that  are  secure  in  the  mountain  of  Sa-ma'ri-a, 
the  notable  men  of  the  chief  of  the  nations,  to  whom 

2  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  come !  Pass  ye  unto  Cal'neh,  and 
see ;  and  from  thence  go  ye  to  Ha'math  the  great : 
then  godown  toGath  of  the  Phi-lis'tines:  be  they  better 
than  these  kingdoms?    or  is   their  border  greater 

3 than  your  border?  Ye  that  put  far  away  the  evil 
day,  and  cause  the  *seat  of  violence  to  come  near; 

4  that  lie  upon  beds  of  ivory,  and  stretch  themselves 
upon  their  couches,  and  eat  the  lambs  out  of  the 
flock,  and  the  calves  out  of  the  midst  of  the  stall ; 

5  that  sing  idle  songs  to  the  sound  of  the  viol ;  that 
devise    for   themselves   instruments  of  music,   "like 

6  Da'vid ;  that  drink  *wine  in  bowls,  and  anoint  them- 
selves with  the  chief  ointments:  but  they  are  not 

7  grieved  for  the  affliction  of  Jo'seph.  Therefore  now 
shall  they  go  captive  with  the  first  that  go  captive, 
and  the  revelry  of  them  that  stretched   themselves 

8  shall  pass  away.  The  Lord  God  hath  sworn  by 
himself,  saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts :  I  abhor 
the  'excellency  of  Ja'cob,  and  hate  his  palaces :  there- 
fore will  I  deliver  up  the  city  with  all  that  is  therein. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  there  remain  ten  men 

10  in  one  house,  that  they  shall  die.  And  when  a  man's 
'"uncle  shall  take  him  up,  even  he  that  burneth  him, 
to  bring  out  the  bones  out  of  the  house,  and  shall 
say  unto  him  that  is  in  the  innermost  parts  of  the 
house,  Is  there  yet  any  with  thee  ?  and  he  shall  say. 
No ;  then  shall  he  say,  Hold  thy  peace ;  for  we  may 

11  not  make  mention  of  the  name  of  the  Lord.  For, 
behold,  the  Lord  commandeth,  and  "the  great  house 
shall  be  smitten  with  breaches,  and  the  little  house 

12 with  clefts.  Shall  horses  run  upon  the  rock?  will 
one  plow  there  with  oxen?  that  ye  have  turned  judge- 
ment into  '^gall,  and  the  fruit  of  righteousness  into 

13  wormwood  :  ye  which  rejoice  in  a  thing  of  nought, 
which  say.  Have  we  not  taken  to  us  horns  by  our 

14 own  strength?  For,  behold,  I  will  raise  up  against 
you  a  nation,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el,  saith  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  hosts;  and  they  shall  afflict  you  from 
the  "entering  in  of  Ha'math  unto  the  brook  of  the 
Ar'a-bah. 

/  Thus  the  Lord  God  shewed  me :  and,  behold,  he 
formed  locusts  in  the  beginning  of  the  shooting  up 
of  the  latter  growth  ;  and,  lo,  it  was  the  latter  growth 

2  after  the  king's  mowings.  And  it  came  to  pass  that 
when  they  made  an  end  of  eating  the  grass  of  the 
land,  then  I  said,  O  Lord  God,  forgi  v^e,  I  beseech  thee : 

Show  shall  Ja'cob  stand?  for  he  is  small.  The  Lord 
repented  concerning  this:  It  shall  not  be,  saith  the 
Lord. 

4  Thus  the  Lord  GoD  shewed  me:  and,beho.d,  the 
Lord  God  called  to  contend  by  fire ;  and  it  devoured 
the  great  deep,  and  would  have  eaten  up  the  'Mand. 

5 Then  said   I,  O   Lord   God,  cease,  I  beseech  thee: 

6  how  shall  Ja'cob  stand?  for  he  is  small.  The  Lord 
repented  concerning  this:  This  also  shall  not  be, 
saith  the  Lord  God.

7  ^Thus  he  shewed  me :  and,  behold,  the  Lord  stood  upon 
a  wall  made  by  a  plumbiine,  with  a  plumbline  in  his  hand. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  A'mos,  what  seest  thou? 
and  I  said,  A  plumbline.  Then  said  the  Lord,  Behold,  ''I 
will  set  a  plumbline  in  the  midst  of  my  people  Is'ra-el:  "I 
will  not  again  pass  by  them  any  more : 

9  ■'^And  the  high  places  of  I'f^iac  shall  be  desolate,  and  the 
sanctuaries  of  Is'ra-el  shall  be  laid  waste;  and  "I  will  rise 
against  the  house  of  Jer-o-bo'am  with  the  sword. 

10  "[[Then  Am-a-zi'ah  'the  priest  of  Beth'-el  sent  to  'Jer-o- 
bo'am  king  of  I.s'ra-el,  saying,  A'mos  hath  conspired  against 
thee  in  the  midst  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el :  the  land  is  not 
able  to  bear  all  his  words. 

1 1  For  th  us  A'mos  saith,  Jer-o-bo'am  shall  die  by  the  sword,  and 
Is'ra-el  shall  surely  be  led  away  captive  out  of  their  own  land. 

12  Also,  Am-a-zi'ah  said  unto  A'mos,  O  thou  seer,  go,  flee 
thee  away  into  the  land  of  Ju'dah,  and  there  eat  bread,  and 
prophesy  there: 

13  But  ^prophesy  not  again  any  more  at  Beth'-el :  'for  it  is 
the  king's  ||  chapel,  and  it  is  the  fking's  court. 

14  ^Then  aswered  A'mos,  and  said  to  Am-a-zi'ah,  I  ivas 
no  prophet,  neither  was  I  "a  prophet's  son;  "but  I  was  a 
herdman,  and  a  gatherer  of  || sycamore  fruit: 

15  And  the  Lord  took  me  fas  I  followed  the  flock,  and 
the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Go,  prophesy  unto  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

16  ^Now  therefore  hear  thou  the  word  of  the  Lord: 
Thou  say  est.  Prophesy  not  against  Is'ra-el,  and  "drop  not 
thy  word  against  the  house  of  I'saac. 

17  ''Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord;  'Thy  wife  shall  be  a 
harlot  in  the  city,  and  thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  shall  fall 
by  the  sword,  and  thy  land  shall  be  divided  by  line :  and  thou 
shalt  die  in  a  polluted  land  :  and  Is'ra-el  shall  surely  go  into 
captivity  forth  of  his  land. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

Sy  a  basket  of  summer  fruit  is  shewed  IsraeTs  end. 

THUS  hath  the  Lord  God  shewed  unto  me :  and  behold 
a  basket  of  summer  fruit. 

2  And  he  said,  A'mos,  what  seest  thou?  And  I  said,  A 
basket  of  summer  fruit.  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me,  "The 
end  is  come  upon  my  people  of  Is'ra-el;  'I  will  not  again 
pass  by  them  any  more. 

3  And  "the  songs  of  the  temple  fshall  be.  bowlings  in  that 
day,  saith  the  Lord  God:  there  shall  be  many  dead  bodies  in 
every  place;  ''they  shall  cast  them  forth  fwith  silence. 

4  TJHear  this,  O  ye  that  'swallow  up  the  needy,  even  to 
make  the  poor  of  the  land  to  fail, 

5  Saying,  When  will  the  ||new  moon  be  gone,  that  we  may 
sell  corn?  and  •''the  sabbath,  that  we  may  fset  forth  wheat, 
"making  the  ephah  small,  and  the  shekel  great,  and  ffalsi- 
fying  the  balances  by  deceit? 

6  'That  we  may  buy  the  poor  for  *silver,  and  the  needy  for 
a  pair  of  shoes ;  yea,  and  sell  the  refuse  of  the  wheat? 

7  The  Lord  hath  sworn  by  'the  excellency  of  Ja'cob, 
Surely  *I  will  never  forget  any  of  their  works. 

8  'Shall  not  the  land  tremble  for  this,  and  every  one 
mourn  that  dwelleth  therein?  and  it  shall  rise  up  wholly 
a  a  flood :  and  it  shall  be  cast  out  and  drowned,  "as  by  the 
hood  of  E'gypt. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
"that  I  will  cause  the  sun  to  go  down  at  noon,  and  I  will 
darken  the  earth  in  the  clear  day : 

10  And  I  will  turn  your  feasts  into  mourning,  and  all  your 
songs  into  lamentation ;  "and  I  will  bring  up  sackcloth  upon 
all  loins,  and  baldness  upon  every  head ;  'and  I  will  make  it 
as  the  mourning  of  an  only  son,  and  the  end  thereof  as  a 
bitter  day. 

11  ^Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord  God,  that  I 
will  send  a  famine  in  the  land,  not  a  famine  of  bread,  nor 
a  thirst  for  water,  but  'of  hearing  the  words  of  the  Lord: 


7  Thus  he  shewed  me :  and,  behold,  the  Lord  stood 
'beside  a  wall  made  by  a  plumbline,  with  a  plumb- 

8  line   in  his  hand.     And  the   Lord  said  unto  me, 
'  A'mos,  what  seest  thou  ?     And  I  said,  A  plumbline. 

Then  said  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  set  a  plumbline 
in  the  midst  of  my  people  Is'ra-el ;  I  will  not  again 

9  pass  by  them  any  more :  and  the  high  places  of 
I'saac  shall  be  desolate,  and  the  sanctuaries  of  Is'ra-el 
shall  be  laid  waste;  and  I  will  rise  against  the 
house  of  Jer-o-bo'am  with  the  sword. 

10  Then  Am-a-zi'ah  the  priest  of  Beth'-el  sent  to  Jer-o- 
bo'am  king  of  Is'ra-el,  saying,  A'mos  hath  conspired 
against  thee  in  the  midst  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el :  the 

11  land  is  not  able  to  bear  all  his  words.  For  thus 
A'mos  saith,  Jer-o-bo'am  shall  die  by  the  sword,  and 
Is'ra-el  shall  surely  be  led  away  captive  out  of  his  land. 

12  Also  Am-a-zi'ah  said  unto  A'mos,  O  thou  seer,  go,  flee 
thee  away   into   the  land   of  Ju'dah,  and  there  eat 

13 bread,  and  prophesy  there:  but  prophesy  not  again 
any  more  at  Beth'-el :  for  it  is  the  king's  sanctuary, 

14  and  it  is  a  royal  house.  Then  answered  A'mos,  and 
said  to  Am-a-zi'ah,  I  ^was  no  prophet,  neither  ^was  I 
'a   prophet's  son ;  but  I  %as   an    herdman,   and   a 

15 dresser  of  sycomore  trees:  and  the  Lord  took  me 
from   following  the  flock,  and  the   Lord  said   unto 

16  me.  Go'  prophesy  unto  my  people  Is'ra-el.  Now 
therefore  hear  thou  the  word  of  the  Lord  :  Thou 
sayest,  Prophesy  not  against  Is'ra-el,  and  drop  not  thy 

llword  against  the  house  of  I'saac;  therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord:  Thy  wife  shall  be  an  harlot  in  the  city, 
and  thy  sons  and  thy  daughters  shall  fall  by  the 
sword,  and  thy  land  shall  be  divided  by  line;  and 
thou  thyself  shalt  die  in  a  land  that  is  unclean,  and 
Is'ra-el  shall  surely  be  led  away  captive  out  of  his  land. 

O     Thus  the  Lord  God  shewed  me :  and  behold,  a 

2  basket  of  summer  fruit.  And  he  said,  A'mos,  what 
seest  thou  ?  And  I  said,  A  basket  of  summer  fruit. 
Then  said  the  Lord  unto  me.  The  end  is  come  upon 
my  people  Is'ra-el ;  I  will  not  again  pass  by  them  any 

3  more.  And  the  songs  of  the  Hemple  shall  be  bowl- 
ings in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  God  :  the  dead  bodies 
shall  be  many ;  in  every  place  'shall  they  cast  them 

4  forth  with  silence.  Hear  this,  O  ye  that  would  swal- 
low up  the  needy,  and  cause  the  poor  of  the  land  to 

5  fail,  saying.  When  will  the  new  moon  be  gone,  that 
we  may  sell  corn?  and  the  sabbath,  that  we  may  ^set 
forth  wheat?  making  the  ephah  small,  and  the  shekel 
great,  and  dealing  falsely  with  balances  of  deceit; 

6  that  we  may  buy  the  poor  for  "silver,  and  the  needy 
for  a  pair  of  shoes,  and  sell  the  refuse  of  the  wheat. 

7  The  Lord  hath  sworn  by  the  excellency  of  Ja'cob, 

8  Surely  I  will  never  forget  any  of  their  works.  Shall 
not  the  land  tremble  for  this,  and  every  one  mourn 
that  dwelleth  therein?  yea,  it  shall  rise  up  wholly 
like  the   River;  and  it  shall  be   troubled  and  sink 

9  again,  like  the  River  of  E'gypt.  And  it  shall  come 
to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  God,  that  I  will 
cause  the  sun  to  go  down  at  noon,  and  I  will  rlarken 

10  the  earth  in  the  clear  day.  And  I  will  turn  your 
feasts  into  mourning,  and  all  your  songs  into 
lamentation;  and  I  will  bring  up  sackcloth  upon 
all  loins,  and  baldness  upon  every  head ;  and  I  will 
make  it  as  the  mourning  for  an  only  son,  and  the 

11  end  thereof  as  a  bitter  day.  Behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord  God,  that  I  will  send  a  famine 
in  the  land,  not  a  famine  of  bread,  nor  a  thirst  for 
water,   but   of   hearing   the   words   of   the   Lord.

CHAPTER  IX. 

The  certainty  of  IsraeVs  desolation  ;  the  restoring  of  the  tab&rnacle  of  David. 

I  SAW  the  Lord  standing  upon  the  altar:  and  he  said. 
Smite  the  j|  lintel  of  the  door,  that  the  posts  may  shake : 
and  1 1  "cut  them  in  the  head,  all  of  them;  and  I  will  slay 
the  last  of  them  with  the  sword:  ''he  that  fleeth  of  them 
shall  not  flee  away,  and  he  that  escapeth  of  them  shall  not 
be  delivered. 

2  "Though  they  dig  into  hell,  thence  shall  mine  hand  take 
them;  ''though  they  climb  up  to  heaven^  thence  will  I  bring 
them  down : 

3  And  though  they  hide  themselves  in  the  top  of  Car'mel, 
I  will  search  and  take  them  out  thence;  and  though  they 
be  hid  from  my  sight  in  the  bottom  of  the  sea,  thence  will 
I  command  the  serpent,  and  he  shall  bite  them : 

4  And  though  they  go  into  captivity  before  their  enemies, 
'thence  will  I  command  the  sword,  and  it  shall  slay  them : 
and  -T  will  set  mine  eyes  upon  them  for  e's'il,  and  not  for 
good. 

5  And  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  is  he  that  toucheth  the 
land,  and  it  shall  "melt,  *and  all  that  dwell  therein  shall 
mourn :  and  it  shall  rise  up  wholly  like  a  flood ;  and  shall 
be  drowned,  as  by  the  flood  of  E'gypt. 

6  It  i»  he  that  buildeth  his  ||t'stories  in  the  heaven,  and 
hath  founded  his  ||  troop  in  the  earth;  he  that  *calleth  for 
the  waters  of  the  sea,  and  poureth  them  out  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth :  'The  Lord  is  bis  name. 

7  Are  ye  not  as  the  children  of  the  P]-thi-o'pi-ans  unto  me, 
O  children  of  Is'ra-el  ?  saith  the  Lord.  Have  not  I  brought 
up  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt?  and  the  ""Phi-lis'tines 
from  "Caph'tor,  and  the  Syr'i-ans  from  "Kir? 

8  Behold,  "the  eyes  of  the  Lord  God  are  upon  the  sinful 
kingdom,  and  I  "will  destroy  it  from  oif  the  face  of  the 
earth ;  saving  that  I  will  not  utterly  destroy  the  house  of 
Ja'cob,  saith  the  Lord. 

9  For,  lo,  I  will  command,  and  I  will  fsift  the  house  of 
Is'ra-el  among  all  nations,  like  as  corn  is  sifted  in  a  sieve,  yet 
shall  not  the  least  fgrain  fall  upon  the  earth. 

10  All  the  sinners  of  my  people  shall  die  by  the  sword, 
""which  say,  The  evil  shall  not  overtake  nor  prevent  us. 

11  li'In  that  day  will  I  raise  up  the  tabernacle  of  Da'vid 
that  is  fallen,  and  fclose  up  the  breaches  thereof;  and  I  will 
raise  up  his  ruins,  and  I  will  build  it  as  in  the  days  of  old: 

12  'That  they  may  possess  the  remnant  of  "E'dom,  and  of 
all  the  heathen  fwhich  are  called  by  my  name,  saith  the 
Lord  that  doeth  this. 

13  Behold,  "the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  the 
ploughman  shall  overtake  the  reaper,  and  the  treader  of 
grapes  him  that  fsoweth  seed;  ''and  the  mountains  shall 
drop  II  sweet  wine,  and  all  the  hills  shall  melt. 

14  "And  I  will  bring  again  the  captivity  of  my  people  of 
Is'ra-el,  and  "they  shall  build  the  waste  cities,  and  inhabit  them; 
and  they  shall  plant  vineyards,  and  drink  the  wine  thereof; 
they  shall  also  make  gardens,  and  eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

15  And  I  will  plant  them  upon  their  land,  and  "they  shall 
no  more  be  pulled  up  out  of  their  land  which  I  have  given 
them,  saith  the  Lord  thy  God. 


12  And  they  shall  wander  from  sea  to  sea,  and  from  the 
north  even  to  the  east ;  they  shall  run  to  and  fro  to 
seek  the  word   of  the  Lord,  and  shall  not  find  it. 

13  In  that  day  shall  the   fair  virgins   and   the   young 

14  men  faint  for  thirst.  They  that  swear  by  the  sin  of 
6a-ma'ri-a,  and  say.  As  thy  God,  O  Dan,  liveth ;  and. 
As  the  'way  of  Be'er-she'ba  liveth ;  even  they  shall 
fall,  and  never  rise  up  again. 

9 

I  saw  the  Lord  standing  ^beside  the  altar:  and 

he   said.  Smite   the    chapiters,   that   the    thresholds 

may  shake:  and  break  them  in  pieces  on  the  head 

of  all  of  them  ;  and  I  will  slay  the  last  of  them  with 

the  sword :  %ere  shall  not  one  of  them  flee  away, 

2  and  there  shall  not  one  of  them  escape.  Though 
they  dig  into  *hell,  thence  shall  mine  hand  take  them  ; 
and  though  they  climb  up  to  heaven,  thence  will  I 

3  bring  them  down.  And  though  they  hide  them- 
selves in  the  top  of  Car'mel,  I  will  search  and  take 
them  out  thence ;  and  though  they  be  hid  from  my 
sight  in  the  bottom  of  the  sea,  thence  will    I   com- 

4mand  the  serpent,  and  he  shall  bite  them.  And 
though  they  go  into  captivity  before  their  enemies, 
thence  will  I  command  the  sword,  and  it  shall  slay 
them :  and  I  will  set  mine  eyes  upon  them  for  evil, 

5  and  not  for  good.  For  the  Lord,  the  God  of  hosts, 
is  he  that  toucheth  the  land  and  it  melteth,  and  all 
that  dwell  therein  shall  mourn ;  and  it  shall  rise  up 
wholly  like  the  River;  and  shall  sink  again,  like  the 

6  River  of  E'gypt;  it  is  he  that  buildeth  his  chambers 
in  the  .heaven,  and  hath  founded  his  vault  upon  the 
earth ;  he  that  calleth  for  the  waters  of  the  sea  and 
poureth  them  out  upon  the  face  of  the  earth;   the 

7  Lord  is  his  name.  Are  ye  not  as  the  children  of  the 
E-thi-o'pi-ans  unto  me,0  children  of  Is'ra-el?  saith  the 
Lord.  Have  not  I  brought  up  Is'ra-el  out  of  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  and  the  Phi-lis'tines  from  Caph'tor,  and  the 

8  Syr'i-ans  from  Kir?  Behold,  the  eyes  of  the  Lord 
God  are  upon  the  sinful  kingdom,  and  I  will  destroy 
it  from  off"  the  face  of  the  earth ;  saving  that  I  will 
not  utterly  destroy  the    house   of   Ja'cob,  saith   the 

9  Lord.  For,  lo,  I  will  command,  and  I  will  'sift  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el  among  all  the  nations,  like  as  corn  is 
sifted  in  a  sieve,  yet  shall   not   the  least   grain   fall 

10  upon  the  earth.  All  the  sinners  of  my  people  shall 
die  by  the  sword,  which  say,  The  evil  shall  not 
overtake  nor  prevent  us. 

11  In  that  day  will  I  raise  up  the  tabernacle  of  Da'vid 
that  is  fallen,  and  close  up  the  breaches  thereof; 
and  I  will  raise  up  his  ruins,  and  I  will  build  it  as 

12 in  the  days  of  old;  that  they  may  possess  the  rem- 
nant of  E'dom,  and  all  the  nations,  which  'are 
called  by  my  name,  saith  the  Lord  that  doeth  this. 

13  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  the 
plowman  shall  overtake  the  reaper,  and  the  treader 
of  grapes  him  that  soweth  seed;  and  the  mountains 
shall  drop  sweet  wine,  and  all  the  hills  shall  melt. 

14  And  I  will  bring  again  the  captivity  of  my  people 
Is'ra-el,  and  they  shall  build  the  waste  cities,  and 
inhabit  them ;  and  they  shall  plant  vineyards,  and 
drink  the  wine  thereof;   they  snail  also  make  gar- 

15  dens,  and  eat  the  fruit  of  them.  And  I  will  plant 
them  upon  their  land,  and  they  shall  no  more  be 
plucked  up  out  of  their  land  which  I  have  given 
them,  saith  the  Lord  thy  God.

CHAPTER   r. 

Destruction  of  Edam  for  their  pride— Salvation  and  victory  of  Jacob. 

THE  vision  of  0-ba-di'ah.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
"concerning  E'dom ;  *We  have  heard  a  rumor  from  the 
LoKD,  and  an  ambassador  is  sent  among  the  heathen,  Arise 
ye,  and  let  us  rise  up  against  her  in  battle. 

2  Behold,  I  have  made  thee  small  among  the  heathen: 
thou  art  greatly  despised. 

3  ^The  pride  of  thine  heart  hath  deceived  thee,  thou  that 
dwellest  in  the  clefts  "of  the  rock,  whose  habitation  is  high ; 
''that  saith  in  hisheart,"\Vhosball  bring  me  down  to  the  ground? 

4  'Though  thou  exalt  thyself  as  the  eagle,  and  though  thou 
-'^set  thy  nest  among  the  stars,  thence  will  I  bring  thee 
down,  .saith  the.  Lord. 

5  If  'thieves  came  to  thee,  if  robbers  by  night,  (how  art 
thou  cut  off!)  would  they  not  have  stolen  till  they  had 
enough  ?  if  the  grapegatherers  came  to  thee,  ''would  they 
not  leave  ||  so7ne  grapes? 

6  How  are  the  things  of  E'sau  searched  out !  how  are  his 
hidden  things  sought  up! 

7  All  the  men  of  thy  confederacy  have  brought  thee  even 
to  the  border :  ftbe  men  that  were  at  peace  with  thee  have 
deceived  thee,  and  prevailed  against  thee  ;  \they  that  eat  thy 
bread  have  laid  a  wound  under  thee :  Hhere  is  none  under- 
standing II  in  him. 

8  'Shall  I  not  in  that  day,  saith  the  Loed,  even  destroy 
the  wise  men  out  of  E'dom,  and  understanding  out  of  the 
mount  of  E'sau  ? 

9  And  thy  "mighty  nun,  O  "Te'man,  shall  be  dismayed,  to 
the  end  that  every  one  of  the  mount  of  E'sau  may  be  cut 
off  by  slaughter. 

10  ^For  thy  "violence  against  thy  brother  Ja'cob,  shame 
shall  cover  thee,  and  "thou  shalt  be  cut  off  for  ever. 

11  In  the  day  that  thou  stoodest  on  the  other  side,  in  the 
day  that  the  strangers  ||  carried  away  captive  his  forces,  and 
foreigners  entered  into  his  gates,  and  'cast  lots  upon  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem,  even  thou  wast  as  one  of  them. 

12  But  II  thou  shouldest  not  have  ''looked  on  'the  day  of 
thy  brother  in  the  day  that  he  became  a  stranger;  neither 
shouldest  thou  have  'rejoiced  over  the  children  of  Ju'dah  in 
the  day  of  their  destruction ;  neither  shouldest  thou  have 
fspoken  proudly  in  the  day  of  distress. 

13  Thou  shouldest  not  have  entered  into  the  gate  of  my 
people  in  the  day  of  their  calamity ;  yea,thou  shoulde.stnothave 
looked  on  their  affliction  in  the  day  of  their  calamity,  nor  have 
laid  hands  on  their  ||  substance  in  the  day  of  their  calamity ; 

14  Neither  shouldest  thou  have  stood  in  the  crossway,  to 
cut  off  those  of  his  that  did  escape ;  neither  shouldest  thou 
have  II  delivered  up  those  of  his  that  did  remain  in  the  day 
of  distress. 

1 5  "For  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  near  upon  all  the  heathen : 
"■as  thou  hast  done,  it  shall  be  done  unto  thee :  thy  reward 
shaH  return  upon  thine  own  head. 

16  "For  as  ye  have  drunk  upon  my  holy  mountain,  so 
shall  all  the  heathen  drink  continually ;  yea,  they  shall  drink, 
and  they  .shall  ||  swallow  down,  and  they  shall  be  as  though 
they  had  not  been. 

17  ^"But  upon  mount  Zi'on  ".shall  be  ||  deliverance,  and 
II  there  shall  be  holiness ;  and  the  house  of  Ja'cob  shall  pos- 
sess their  possessions. 

18  And  the  house  of  Ja'cob  'shall  be  a  fire,  and  the  house  of 
Jo'seph  a  flame,  and  the  house  of  E'sau  for  stubble,  and  they  shall 
kindle  in  them,  and  devour  them  ;  and  there  shall  not  he  any 
remaining  of  the  house  of  E'sau  ;  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 


OBADIAH 


J-      The  vision  of  0-ba-di'ah. 

Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  'concerning  E'dom: 
We  have  heard  tidings  from  the  Lord,  and  an 
ambassador  is  sent  among  the  nations,  saying, 
Arise  ye,  and  let  us  rise  up  against  her  in  battle. 

2  Behold,   I   have   made   thee   small   among  the  na- 

Stions:  thou  art  greatly  despised.  The  pride  of 
thine  heart  hath  deceived  thee,  O  thou  that 
dwellest  in  the  clefts  of  Hhe  rock,  whose  habita- 
tion  is  high ;   that   saith  in  his    heart.  Who    shall 

4 bring  me  down  to  the  ground?  Though  thou 
mount  on  high  as  the  eagle,  and  though  thy  nest 
be  set  among  the  .stars,  I  will  bring  thee  down  from 

5  thence,  saith  the  Lord.  If  thieves  came  to  thee, 
if  robbers  by  night,  (how  art  thou  cut  off!)  would 
they  not  steal  till  they  had  enough?  if  grape- 
gatherers  came  to  thee,  would  they  not  leave  some 

6 gleaning  grapes?  How  are  Hhe  things  of  E'sau 
searched  out!  how  are  his  hidden  treasures  sought 

7  up !  All  the  men  of  thy  confederacy  have  'brought 
thee  on  thy  way,  even  to  the  border:  the  men  that 
were  at  peace  with  thee  have  deceived  thee,  and 
prevailed  against  thee;  Hhey  that  eat  thy  bread  lay 
a    ^snare   under   thee:  there  is  none  understanding 

8 'in  him.  Shall  I  not  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord, 
destroy  the  wise  men    out  of   E'dom,   and    under- 

9 standing  out  of  the  mount  of  E'sau?  And  thy 
mighty  men,  O  Te'man,  shall  be  dismayed,  to  the 
end  that  every  one  may  be  cut  off  from  the  mount 

10  of  E'sau  by  slaughter.  For  the  violence  done  to 
thy  brother  Ja'cob  shame  shall  cover  thee,  and  thou 

11  shalt  be  cut  off  for  ever.  In  the  day  that  thou 
stoodest  'on  the  other  side,  in  the  day  that 
strangers  carried  away  his  'substance,  and  foreigners 
entered  into   his   gates,  and   cast  lots    upon  Je-ru'- 

12sa-lem,  even  thou  wast  as  one  of  them.  But  look 
not  thou  on  the  day  of  thy  brother  in  "the  day 
of  his  di-saster,  and  rejoice  not  over  the  children 
of  Ju'dah  in  the  day  of  their  destruction;  neither 

13  speak  proudly  in  the  day  of  distress.  Enter  not 
into  the  gate  of  my  people  in  the  day  of  their 
calamity;  yea,  look  not  thou  on  their  affliction 
in  the  day  of  their  calamity,  neither  lay  ye  hands 
on  their  substance    in   the    day  of  their    calamity. 

14  And  stand  thou  not  in  the  crossway,  to  cut  off 
those  of  his  that  escape ;  and  deliver  not  up  those 

15  of  his  that  remain  in  the  day  of  distress.  For  the 
day  of  the  Lord  is  near  upon  all  the  nations:  as 
thou    hast    done,   it   shall  be  done  unto  thee;    thy 

16  "dealing  shall  return  upon  thine  own  head.  For 
as  ye  have  drunk  upon  my  holy  mountain,  so 
shall  all  the  nations  drink  continually,  yea,  they 
shall    drink,  and    '^swallow  down,  and    shall  be  as 

17  though  they  had  not  been.  But  in  mount  Zi'on  there 
shall  be  those  that  escape,  and  it  shall  be  holy ;  and 
the  house  of  Ja'cob  shall  possess  their  possessions. 

18  And  the  house  of  Ja'cob  shall  be  a  fire,  and  the 
house  of  Jo'seph  a  flame,  and  the  house  of  E'sau 
for  stubble,  and  they  shall  burn  among  them,  and 
devour  them :  and  there  shall  not  be  any  remaining

JONAH. 


CHAPTER    I. 

Jonah,  sent  to  Nineveh,  fieeth  to  Tarshish  ;  he  is  overtaken  by  a  tempest, 

"VTOAV  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  "HJo'nah  the  son 
-L'    of  A-mit'ta-i,  saying, 

2  Arise,  go  to  Nin'e-veh,  that  'great  city,  and  cry  against 
it ;  for  "their  wickedness  is  come  up  before  me. 

3  But  Jo'nah  ''rose  up  to  flee  unto  Tar'shish  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord,  and  went  down  to  'Jop'pa :  and  he 
found  a  ship  going  to  Tar'shish  :  so  he  paid  the  fare  thereof, 
and  went  down  into  it,  to  go  with  them  unto  Tar'shish  %om 
the  presence  of  the  Lord. 

4  4[But  'the  Lord  fsent  out  a  great  wind  into  the  sea, 
and  there  was  a  mighty  tempest  in  the  sea,  so  that  the  ship 
fwas  like  to  be  broken. 

5  Then  the  mariners  were  afraid,  and  cried  every  man  unto 
his  god,  and  ''cast  forth  the  wares  that  were  in  the  ship  into 
the  sea,  to  lighten  it  of  them.  But  Jo'nah  was  gone  down 
'into  the  sides  of  the  ship ;  and  he  lay,  and  was  fast  asleep. 

6  So  the  shipmaster  came  to  him,  and  said  unto  him. 
What  meanest  thou,  O  sleeper  ?  arise,  *call  upon  thy  God, 
'if  so  be  that  God  will  think  upon  us,  that  we  perish  not. 

7  And  they  said  every  one  to  his  fellow,  Come,  and  let  us 
""cast  lots,  that  we  may  know  for  whose  cause  this  evil  is 
upon  us.     So  they  cast  lots,  and  the  lot  fell  upon  Jo'nah. 

8  Then  said  they  unto  him,  "Tell  us,  we  pray  thee,  for 
whofse  cause  this  evil  is  upon  us ;  What  is  thine  occupation  ? 
and  whence  comest  thou?  what  is  thy  country?  and  of 
what  people  art  thou? 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  I  am,  a  He'brew;  and  I  fear 
II  the  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven,  "which  hath  made  the  sea 
and  the  dry  land. 

10  Then  were  the  men  fexceedingly  afraid,  and  said  unto 
him.  Why  hast  thou  done  this?  For  the  men  knew  that  he 
fled  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord,  because  he  had  told  them. 

11  ^Then  said  they  unto  him.  What  shall  we  do  unto 
thee,  that  the  sea  fmay  be  calm  unto  us?  for  the  sea 
llfwrought  and  was  tempestuous. 

12  And  he  said  unto  them,  "Take  me  up,  and  cast  me  forth 
into  the  sea ;  so  shall  the  sea  be  calm  unto  you :  for  I  know 
that  for  my  sake  this  great  tempest  is  upon  you. 

13  Nevertheless  the  men  frowed  hard  to  bring  it  to  the 
land ;  'but  they  could  not :  for  the  sea  wrought,  and  was 
tempestuous  against  them. 

14  Wherefore  they  cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  We 
beseech  thee,  O  Lord,  we  beseech  thee,  let  us  not  perish 
for  this  man's  life,  and  ""lay  not  upon  us  innocent  blood :  for 
thou,  O  Lord,  'hast  done  as  it  pleased  thee. 

15  So  they  took  up  Jo'nah,  and  cast  him  forth  into  the 
sea :  'and  the  sea  fceased  from  her  raging. 

16  Then  the  men  "feared  the  Lord  exceedingly,  and' 
fofFered  a  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord,,  and  made  vows. 

17  ^Now  the  Lord  had  prepared  a  great  fish  to  swallow 
up  Jo'nah.  And  'Jo'nah  was  in  the  fbelly  of  the  fish  three 
days  and  three  nights.

J-      Now  the  word  of  the  Lord   came   unto   Jo'nah 

2  the  son  of  A-mit'ta-i,  saying.  Arise,  go  to  Nin'e-veh, 
that  great  city,  and  cry  against  it;    for  their  wicked- 

3  ness  is  come  up  before  me.  But  Jo'nah  rose  up  to 
flee  unto  Tar'shish  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  he  went  down  to  Jop'pa,  and  found  a  ship 
going  to  Tar'shish :  so  he  paid  the  fare  thereof,  and 
went  down  into  it,  to  go  with  them  unto   Tar'shish 

4  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord.  But  the  Lord 
'sent  out  a  great  wind  into  the  sea,  and  there  was 
a  mighty  tempest  in  the  sea,  so  that  the  ship  was 

5  like  to  be  broken.  Then  the  mariners  were  afraid, 
and  cried  every  man  unto  his  god;  and  they  cast 
forth  the  wares  that  were  in  the  ship  into  the  sea, 
to  lighten  it  unto  them.  But  Jo'nah  was  gone  down 
into  the  innermost  parts  of  the  ship;    and  he   lay, 

6  and  was  fast  asleep.  So  the  shipmaster  came  to 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  What  meanest  thou,  O 
sleeper?   arise,   call   upon   thy   God,   if  so  be  that 

7  God  will  think  upon  us,  that  we  perish  not.  And 
they  said  every  one  to  his  fellow,  Come,  and  let  us 
cast  lots,  that  we  may  know  for  whose  cause  this 
evil  is  upon  us.     So  they  cast    lots,    and   the   lot 

8  fell  upon  Jo'nah.  Then  said  they  unto  him,  Tell  us, 
we  pray  thee,  for  whose  cause  this  evil  is  upon  us ; 
what  is  thine  occupation?  and  whence  comest  thou? 
what  is  thy  country  ?    and  of  what  people  art  thou  ? 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  I  am  an  He'brew ;  and  I 
fear   the    Lord,   the   God   of  heaven,    which    hath 

10  made  the  sea  and  the  dry  land.  Then  were  the 
men  exceedingly  afraid,  and  said  unto  him,  AVhat 
is  this  that  thou  hast  done?  For  the  men  knew  that 
he  fled  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord,  because  he 

1 1  had  told  them.  Then  said  they  unto  him,  What 
shall  we  do  unto  thee,  that  the  sea  may  be  calm 
unto  us?   for  the  sea  grew  more  and  more  tempes- 

12tuou8.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Take  me  up,  and 
cast  me  forth  into  the  sea;  so  shall  the  sea  be  calm 
unto  you :  for  I  know  that  for  my  sake  this  great  tem- 

13  pest  is  upon  you.  Nevertheless  the  men  rowed  hard  to 
get  them  back  to  the  land ;  but  they  could  not :  for  the 
sea    grew     more    and     more     tempestuous     against 

14  them.  Wherefore  they  cried  'into  the  Lord,  and 
said.  We  beseech  thee,  O  Lord,  we  beseech  thee, 
let  us  not  perish  for  this  man's  life,  and  lay  not 
upon  us  innocent  blood  :    for  thou,  O  Lord,    hast 

15  done  as  it  pleased  thee.  So  they  took  up  Jo'nah, 
and  cast  him  forth  into  the  sea ;  and  the  sea  ceased 

16  from  her  raging.  Then  the  men  feared  the  Lord 
exceedingly;   and  they  offered  a  sacrifice  unto   the 

17  Lord,  and  made  vows.  And  the  Lord  prepared  a 
great  fish  to  swallow  up  Jo'nah;  and  Jo'nah  was  in 
the  belly   of  the  fish  three  days  and  three  nights.

CHAPTER    II. 

The  prayer  of  Jonah  ;  he  is  deliveredoui  of  the  belly  of  the  fish. 

rpHEN  Jo'nah  prayed  unto  the  Lord  his  God  out  of  the 
-I-    fish's  belly, 

2  And  said,  I  "cried  ||by  reason  of  mine  affliction  unto  the 
Lcao,  'and  he  heard  me;  out  of  the  belly  of  ||hell  cried  I, 
and  thou  heardest  my  voice. 

3  "For  thou  hadst  cast  me  into  the  deep,  in  the  fmidst  of 
the  seas;  and  the  floods  compassed  me  about:  ''all  thy  bil- 
lows and  thy  waves  passed  over  me. 

4  'Then  I  said,  I  am  cast  out  of  thy  sight;  yet  I  will 
look  again  Aoward  thy  holy  temple. 

5  The  'waters  compassed  me  about,  even  to  the  soul :  the 
depths  closed  me  round  about,  the  weeds  were  wrapped 
about  my  head. 

6  I  went  down  to  the  fbottoms  of  the  mountains;  the 
earth  with  her  bars  was  about  me  for  ever:  yet  hast 
thou  brought  up  my  life  *from  || corruption,  O  LoED 
my  God. 

7  When  my  soul  fainted  within  me  I  remembered  the 
Lord  :  'and  my  prayer  came  in  unto  thee,  into  thine  holy 
temple. 

8  They  that  observe  *lying  vanities  forsake  their  own 
mercy. 

9  Biit  I  will  'sacrifice  unto  thee  with  the  voice  of  thanks- 
giving; I  will  pay  that  that  I  have  vowed.  ""Salvation  is  of 
the  Lord. 

10  ^And  the  Lord  spake  unto  the  fish,  and  it  vomited 
out  Jo'nah  upon  the  dry  land. 

CHAF'TER    III. 

Jonah,  sent  again,  preacheth  to  the  Ninevites,  &c. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jo'nah  the  second 
time,  saying, 

2  Arise,  go  unto  Nin'e-veh,  that  great  city,  and  preach 
unto  it  the  preaching  that  I  bid  thee. 

3  So  Jo'nah  arose  and  went  unto  Nin'e-veh,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord.  Now  Nin'e-veh  was  an  fexceediug 
great  city  of  three  days'  journey. 

4  And  Jo'nah  began  to  enter  into  the  city  a  day's  journey, 
and  "he  cried,  and  said.  Yet  forty  days  and  Nin'e-veh  shall 
be  overthrown. 

5  ^[So  the  people  of  Nin'e-veh  ""believed  God  and  pro- 
claimed a  fast,  and  put  on  sackcloth,  from  the  greatest  of 
them  even  to  the  least  of  them. 

6  For  word  came  unto  the  king  of  Nin'e-veh,  and  he  arose 
from  his  throne,  and  he  laid  his  robe  from  him,  and  covered 
Mm  with  sackcloth,  "and  sat  in  ashes. 

7  ''And  he  caused  it  to  be  proclaimed  and  fpublished 
through  Nin'e-veh  by  decree  of  the  king  and  his  fnobles, 
saying,  Let  neither  roan  nor  beast,  herd  nor  flock,  taste  any 
thing :  let  them  not  feed,  nor  drink  water : 

8  But  let  man  and  beast  be  covered  with  sackcloth,  and 
cry  mightily  unto  God :  yea,  'let  them  turn  every  one  from 
his  evil  way  and  from  ^the  violence  that  is  in  their  hands. 

9  "Who  can  tell  ij  God  will  turn  and  repent,  and  turn 
away  from  his  fierce  anger,  that  we  perish  not? 

10  ^''And  God  saw  their  works,  that  they  turned  from 
their  evil  way ;  and  God  repented  of  the  evil,  that  he  had 
said  that  he  would  do  unto  them ;  and  he  did  it  not. 

CHAPTER     IV. 

Jonah,  repining  at  God's  mercy,  is  reproved,  by  the  type  of  a  gourd. 

BUT  it  displeased  Jo'nah  exceedingly,  and  he  was  very 
angry. 
2  And  he  prayed  unto  the  Lord  and  said,  I  pray  thee,  O 
Lord,  was  not  this  my  saying,  when  I  was  yet  in  my 
country?  Therefore  I  "fled  before  unto  Tar'shish :  for  I 
knew  that  thou  art  a  ''gracious  God,  and  merciful,  slow  to 
anger,  and  of  great  kindness,  and  repentest  thee  of  the  evil. 


^     Then  Jo'nah  prayed  unto  the  Lord  his  God  out 

2  of  the  fish's  belly.     And  he  said, 

I  called  'by  reason  of  mine  affliction  unto  the  Loki), 

And  he  answered  me; 

Out  of  the  belly  of  ^hell  cried  I, 

And  thou  heardest  my  voice. 

3  For  thou  didst  cast  me  into  the  depth,  in  the  heart 

of  the  seas. 
And  the  flood  was  round  about  me ; 
All  thy  waves  and  thy  billows  passed  over  me. 

4  AndT  said,  I  am  cast  out  from  before  thine  eyes; 
Yet  I  will  look  again  toward  thy  holy  temple. 

5  The  waters  compassed  me  about,  even  to  the  soul ; 
The  deep  was  round  about  me; 

The  weeds  were  wrapped  about  my  head. 

6  I  went  down  to  the  bottoms  of  the  mountains; 
The  earth  with  her  bars  dosed  upon  me  for  ever: 
Yet  hast  thou  brought  up  my  life  from  'the  pit,  O 

Lord  my  God. 

7  When  my  soul  fainted  within  me,  I  remembered 

the  Lord : 
And  my  prayer  came  in  unto  thee,  into  thine  holy 
temple. 

8  They  that  regard  lying  vanities 
Forsake  their  own  mercy. 

9  But  I  will  sacrifice  unto  thee  with  the  voice  of 

thanksgiving; 
I  will  pay  that  which  I  have  vowed. 
Salvation  is  of  the  Lord. 
10  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  the  fish,  and  it  vomited 
out  Jo'nah  upon  the  dry  land. 

O     And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Jo'nah  the 

2  second  time,  saying,  Arise,  go  unto  Nin'e-veh,  that 
great  city,  and  *preach   unto   it  the  preaching  that 

3  I  bid  thee.  So  Jo'nah  arose,  and  went  unto  Nin'e-veh, 
according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord.  Now  Nin'e-veh 
was  'an  exceeding  great  city,  of  three  days'  journey. 

4  And  Jo'nah  began  to  enter  into  the  city  a  day's 
journey,  and  he  cried,  and  said.  Yet  forty  days,  and 

5  Nin'e-veh  will  be  overthrown.  And  the  people 
of  Nin'e-veh  believed  God;  and  they  proclaimed 
a    fast,    and   put   on    sackcloth,    from   the   greatest 

6  of  them  even  to  the  least  of  them.  'And  the 
tidings  reached  the  king  of  Nin'e-veh,  and  he  arose 
from  his  throne,  and  laid  his  robe  from  him,  and 
covered    him    with    sackcloth,    and    sat    in    ashes. 

7  And  he  made  proclamation  and  'published  through 
Nin'e-veh  by  the  decree  of  the  king  and  his  nobles, 
saying.  Let  neither  man  nor  beast,  herd  nor  flock, 
taste  any  thing:  let  them  not  feed,  nor  drink  water: 

8  but  let  them  be  covered  with  sackcloth,  both  man 
and  beast,  and  let  them  cry  mightily  unto  God : 
yea,  let  them  turn  every  one  from  his  evil  way,  and 

9  from  the  violence  that  is  in  their  hands.  Who 
knoweth  whether  God  will  not  turn  and  repent, 
and  turn  away  from  his  fierce  anger,  that  we  perish 

10 not?  And  God  saw  their  works,  that  they  turned 
from  their  evil  way ;  and  God  repented  of  the  evil, 

.  which  he  said  he  would  do  unto  them;  and  he  did  it 
*  not.     But  it  displeased  Jo'nah  exceedingly,  and  he 

2  was  angry.  And  he  prayed  unto  the  Lord,  and 
said,  I  pray  thee,  O  Lord,  was  not  this  my  saying, 
when  I  was  yet  in  my  country?  Therefore  I  ^hasted 
to  flee  unto  Tar'shish  :  for  I  knew  that  thou  art  a  gra- 
cious God,  and  full  of  compassion,  slow  to  anger,  and 
plenteous  in  mercy,  aad  repentest  thee  of  the  evil.

3  "Therefore  now,  O  Lord,  take,  I  beseech  thee,  my  life 
from  me ;  for  Ht  is  better  for  me  to  die  than  to  live. 

4  ^Then  said  the  Lord,  ||  Doest  thou  well  to  be  angry? 

6  So  Jo'nah  went  out  of  the  city,  and  sat  on  the  east  side 
of  the  city,  and  there  made  him  a  booth,  and  sat  under  it  in 
the  shadow,  till  he  might  see  what  would  become  of  the  city. 

6  And  the  Lord  God  prepared  a  t||  gourd,  and  made  it  to 
come  up  over  Jo'nah,  that  it  might  be  a  shadow  over  his 
head,  to  deliver  him  from  his  grief.  So  Jo'nah  fwas  ex- 
ceeding glad  of  the  gourd. 

7  But  God  prepared  a  worm  when  the  morning  rose  the 
next  day,  and  it  smote  the  gourd  that  it  withered. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  sun  did  arise,  that  God 
prepared  a  ||  vehement  east  wind;  and  the  sun  beat  upon 
the  head  of  Jo'nah,  that  he  fainted,  and  wished  in  himself  to 
die,  and  said,  'It  is  better  for  me  to  die  than  to  live. 

9  And  God  said  to  Jo'nah,  |1  Doest  thou  well  to  be  angry 
for  the  gourd?  And  he  said,  ||  I  do  well  to  be  angry,  even 
unto  death. 

10  Then  said  the  Lord,  Thou  hast  1|  had  pity  on  the  gourd, 
for  the  which  thou  hast  not  laboured,  neither  madest  it 
grow;  which  fcame  up  in  a  night,  and  perished  in  a  night: 

11  And  should  not  I  spare  Nin'e-veh,  -^that  great  city, 
wherein  are  more  than  sixscore  thousand  persons  "that 
cannot  discern  between  their  right  hand  and  their  left  hand  ; 
and  also  much  *cattle  ? 


3  Therefore  now,  O  Lord,  take,  I  beseech  thee,  my  life 
from  me ;  for  it  is  better  for  me  to  die  than  to  live. 

4  And  the  Lord  said,  'Doest  thou  well  to  be  angry  ? 

5  Then  Jo'nah  went  out  of  the  city,  and  sat  on  the 
east  side  of  the  city,  and  there  made  him  a  booth, 
and  sat  under  it  in  the   shadow,  till  he  might  see 

6  what  would  become  of  the  city.  And  the  Lord  God 
prepared  a  ^gourd,  and  made  it  to  come  up  over 
Jo'nah,  that  it  might  be  a  shadow  over  his  head,  to 
deliver  him  from  his  evil  case.     So  Jo'nah  was  ex- 

Tceeding  glad  because  of  the  gourd.  But  God  pre- 
pared a  worm  when  the  morning  rose  the  next  day,  and 

8  it  smote  the  gourd,  that  it  withered.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  whep  the  sun  arose,  that  God  prepared  a  sultry 
east  wind;  and  the  sun  beat  upon  the  head  of  Jo'nah, 
that  he  fainted,  and  requested  for  himself  that  he 
might  die,  and  said.  It  is  better  for  me  to  die  than  to  live. 

9  And  God  said  to  Jo'nah,  Doest  thou  well  to  be  angry 
for  the  gourd  ?  And  he  said,  I  do  well  to  be  angry 

10  even  unto  death.  And  the  Lord  said,  Thou  hast  had 
pity  on  the  gourd,for  the  which  thou  ha.st  not  laboured, 
neither  madest  it  grow ;  which  came  up  in  a  night,  and 

1 1  perished  in  a  night :  and  should  not  I  have  pity  on  Nin'- 
e-veh, that  great  city  ;  wherein  are  more  than  sixscore 
thousand  persons  that  cannot  discern  between  their 
right  hand  and  their  left  hand ;  and  also  much  cattle?

MICAH. 


CHAPTER    I. 

Micah  skeweih  the  wrath  of  God  against  Jacob ;  he  exhorteth  to  mourning. 

riIHE  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  "Mi'cah  the  Mo'ras-thite 
X  in  the  days  of  Jo'tham,  A'haz,  and  Hez-e-ki'ah,  kings  of 
Ju'dah,  ''which  he  saw  concerning  Sa-ma'ri-a  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  fHear,  all  ye  people;  "hearken,  O  earth,  and  fall  that 
therein  is :  and  let  the  Lord  GoD  ''be  witness  against  you, 
the  Lord  from  'his  holy  temple. 

3  For,  behold,  •''the  Lord  cometh  forth  out  of  his  'place,  and 
will  come  down,  and  tread  upon  the  ''high  places  of  the  earth. 

4  And  "the  mountains  shall  be  molten  under  him,  and  the 
valleys  shall  be  cleft,  as  wax  before  the  fire,  and  as  the 
waters  that  are  poured  down  fa  steep  place. 

5  For  the  transgression  of  Ja'cob  is  all  this,  and  for  the 
sins  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el.  What  is  the  transgression  of 
Ja'cob  ?  is  it  not  Sa-ma'ri-a  ?  and  what  are  the  high  places 
of  Ju'dah?  are  they  not  Je-ru'sa-lem? 

6  Therefore,  I  will  make  Sa-ma'ri-a  *as  a  heap  of  the  field, 
and  as  plantings  of  a  vineyard :  and  I  will  pour  down  the 
stones  thereof  into  the  valley,  and  I  will  'discover  the  foun- 
dations thereof. 

7  And  all  the  graven  images  thereof  shall  be  beaten  to 
pieces,  and  all  the  "hires  thereof  shall  be  burned  with  the 
fire,  and  all  the  idols  thereof  will  I  lay  desolate :  for  she 
gathered  it  of  the  hire  of  a  harlot,  and  they  shall  return  to 
the  hire  of  a  harlot. 

8  Therefore,  "I  will  wail  and  howl,  "I  will  go  stripped 
and  naked :  "J  will  make  a  wailing  like  the  dragons,  and 
mourning  as  the  fowls. 

9  For  II  her  wound  is  incurable;  for  'it  is  come  unto  Ju'dah ; 
he  is  come  unto  the  gate  of  my  people,  even  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10  ^'Declare  ye  it  not  at  Gath,  weep  ye  not  at  all:  in  the 
house  of  II  Aph'rah  'roll  thyself  in  the  du.st. 

11  Pass  ye  away,  ||  thou  finhabitant  of  Sa'phir,  having  thy 
'shame  naked:  the  inhabitant  of  ||  Za'a-nan  camenotforth  in  the 
mourning  of  II  Beth-e'zel ;  he  shall  receive  of  you  his  standing. 

12  For  the  inhabitant  of  Ma' roth  ||  waited  carefully  for  good: 
but"evilcamedown  from  theLoRDuntothegateof  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


MICAH. 


4-     The  word  of  the  Lord  that  came  to  Mi'cah  the 
Mo'rash-tite  in  the  days  of  Jo'tham,  A'haz,  and  Hez-e 
ki'ah,  kings  of  Ju'dah,  which    he  saw  concerning 
Sa-ma'ri-a  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  Hear,  ye  peoples,  all  of  you ;  hearken,  O  earth, 
and  ^all  that  therein  is :  and  let  the  Lord  God  be 
witness  Against  you,  the  Lord  frem  his  holy  temple 

3  For,  behold,  the  Lord  cometh  forth  out  of  his  place, 
and  will  come  down,  and  tread  upon  the  high  places  of 

4  the  earth.  And  the  mountains  shall  be  molten  under 
him,  and  the  valleys  shall  be  cleft,  as  wax  before  the 

6  fire,  as  waters  that  are  poured  down  a  steep  place.  For 
the  transgression  of  Ja'cob  is  all  this,  and  tor  the  sins 
of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el.  What  is  the  transgression  of 
Ja'cob?  is  it  not  Sa-ma'ri-a?  and  whatarethehigh  places 

6  of  Ju'dah?  are  they  not  Je-ru'sa-lem  ?  Therefore  I  will 
make  Sa-ma'ri-a  as  an  heapof  the  field,  and  as  the  plant 
ings  of  a  vineyard :  and  I  will  pour  down  the  stones 
thereof  into  the  valley,  and  I  will  discover  the  foun- 

7  dations  thereof.  And  all  her  graven  images  shall  be 
beaten  to  pieces,  and  all  her  hires  shall  be  burned 
with  fire,  and  all  her  idols  will  I  lay  desolate  :  for  of 
the  hire  of  an  harlot  hath  she  gathered  them,  and 

8  unto  the  hire  of  an  harlot  shall  they  return.  For 
this  will  I  wail  and  howl,  I  will  go  stripped  and 
naked  :  I  will  make  a  wailing  like  the  jackals,  and 

9  a  mourning  like  the  ostriches.  For  her  wounds 
are  incurable :  for  it  is  come  even  unto  Ju'dah ;  it 
reacheth  unto  the  gate  of  my  people,  even  to  Je-ru'- 

lOsa-lem.  Tell  it  not  in  Gath,  weep  not  at  all:  at 
'Beth-le-Aph'rah  'have  I  rolled  myself  in  the  dust. 

11  Pass  ye  away,  O  ^inhabitant  of  Sha'phir,  in  naked- 
ness and  shame :  the  ^inhabitant  of  Za'a-nan  is  not 
come  forth ;  the  wailing  of  Beth-e'zel  shall  take  from 

12  you  the  *stay  thereof  For  the  'inhabitant  of  Ma'roth 
'waiteth  anxiously  for  good :  because  evil  is  come 
down  from  the  Lord  unto  the  gate  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.

16  Make  thee  "bald,  and  poll  thee  for  thy  ''delicate  children; 
enlarge  thy  baldness  as  the  eagle;  for  they  are  gone  into 
captivity  from  thee. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Against  oppression  ;  reproof  of  injustice,  &c. ;  a  promise  of  restoring  Jacob. 

WOE  to  them  "that  devise   iniquity,  and  'work  evil  up- 
on their  beds !  when  the  morning  is  light,  they  prac- 
tise it,  because  "it  is  in  the  power  of  their  hand. 

2  And  they  covet  ''fields,  and  take  them  by  violence;  and 
houses,  and  take  them  away:  so  they  || oppress  a  man  and 
his  house,  even  a  man  and  his  heritage. 

3  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord;  Behold,  against  'this 
family  do  I  devise  an  evil,  from  which  ye  shall  not  remove  your 
necks ;  neither  shall  ye  go  haughtily  :  -^for  this  time  is  evil. 

4  ^In  that  day  shall  one  "take  up  a  parable  against  you,  and 
''lament  fwith  a  doleful  lamentation,  and  say.  We  be  utterly 
spoiled :  'he  hath  changed  the  portion  of  my  people :  ho  w  hath  he 
removed  it  from  me!  ||  turning  away  he  hath  divided  our  fields. 

5  Therefore  thou  shalt  have  none  that  shall  *cast  a  cord 
by  lot  in  the  congregation  of  the  Lord. 

6  llt'Prophesy  ye  not,  say  they  to  them  <Aa<  prophesy :  they 
shall  not  prophesy  to  them,  that  they  shall  not  take  shame. 

7  ^O  thou  that  art  named  The  house  of  Ja'cob,  is  the  Spirit 
of  the  Lord  ||  straitened?  are  these  his  doings?  do  not  my 
words  do  good  to  him  that  walketh  fuprightly  ? 

8  Even  fof  late  my  people  is  risen  up  as  an  enemy  :  ye 
pull  off  the  robe  fwith  the  garment  from  them  that  pass  by 
securely  as  men  averse  from  war. 

9  The  II women  of  my  people  have  ye  cast  out  from  their 
pleasant  houses;  from  their  children  have  ye  taken  away 
my  glory  for  ever. 

10  Arise  ye,  and  depart;  for  this  is  not  your  ""rest:  because 
it  is  "polluted,  it  shall  destroy  you,  even  with  a  sore  destruction. 

11  If  a  man  ||''walking  in  the  spirit  and  falsehood  do  lie, 
saying,  I  will  prophesy  unto  thee  of  wine  and  of  strong 
drink ;  he  shall  even  be  the  prophet  of  this  people. 

12  ^"I  will  surely  assemble,  O  Ja'cob,  all  of  thee;  I  will 
surely  gather  the  remnant  of  Is'ra-el ;  I  will  put  them  to- 
gether "as  the  sheep  of  Boz'rah,  as  the  flock  in  the  midst  of 
their  fold :  'they  shall  make  great  noise  by  reason  of  the 
multitude  of  men. 

13  The  breaker  is  come  up  before  them:  they  have  broken 
up,  and  have  passed  through  the  gate,  and  are  gone  out  by 
it ;  and  'their  king  shall  pass  before  them,  'and  the  LoBD  on 
the  head  of  them. 

CHAPTER    III. 

Cruelty  of  the  princes  ;  falsehood  of  the  prophets  /  security  of  them  both. 

AND  I  said.  Hear,  I   pray  you,  O   heads  of  Ja'cob,  and 
ye  princes  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el :  "/s  it  not  for  you 
to  know  judgment? 

2  Who  hate  the  good,  and  love  the  evil ;  who  pluck  ofl' 
their  skin  from  olf  them,  and  their  flesh  from  off  their  bones ; 

3  Who  also  ""eat  the  flesh  of  my  people,  and  flay  their  skin 
from  off  them ;  and  they  break  their  bones,  and  chop  them 
in  pieces,  as  for  the  pot,  and  "as  flesh  within  the  caldron. 

4  Then  ''shall  they  cry  unto  the  Lord,  but  he  will  not  hear 
them :  he  will  even  hide  his  face  from  them  at  that  time,  as 
they  have  behaved  themselves  ill  in  their  doings. 

5  ^Thus  saith  the  IjORD  'concerning  the  prophets  that 
make  my  people  err,  that  ^bite  with  their  teeth,  and  cry. 
Peace ;  and  "he  that  putteth  not  into  their  mouths,  they  even 
prepare  war  against  him: 


13  Bind  the  chariot  to  the  swift  steed,  O  'inhabitant  of 
La'chish :  forshe  wasthebeginningofsin  to  the  daughter 
of  Zi'on ;  for  the  transgressions  of  Is'ra-el  were  found 

14  in  thee.  Therefore  shalt  thou  give  a  parting  gift  to 
Mor'esh-eth-gath :  the  houses  of  Ach'zib  shall  be  S 

15  deceitful  thing  unto  the  kings  of  Is'ra-el.  I  will  yet 
bring  unto  thee,0  'inhabitant  of  Ma-re'shah,  him  that 
shall  possess  thee :  the  glory  of  Is'ra-el  shall  come  even 

16  unto  A-dul'lam.  Make  thee  bald,  and  poll  thee  for 
the  children  of  thy  delight :  enlarge  thy  baldness  as 
the  'eagle ;  for  they  are  gone  into  captivity  from  thee 

^  Woe  to  them  that  devise  iniquity  and  work  evil 
upon  their  beds !  when  the  morning  is  light,  they 
practise  it,  because  it  is  in  the  power  of  their  hand. 

2  And  they  covet  fields,  and  seize  them;  and  houses, 
and  take  them  away:  and  they  oppress  a  man  and 

3  his  house,  even  a  man  and  his  heritage.  Therefore 
thus  saith  the  Lord:  Behold,  against  this  family  do 
I  devise  an  evil,  from  which  ye  shall  not  remove 
your  necks,  neither  shall  ye  walk  haughtily;  for  it 

4  is  an  evil  time.  In  that  day  shall  they  take  up  a 
parable  against  you,  and  lament  *with  a  doleful 
lamentation,  and  say,  We  be  utterly  spoiled :  he 
changeth  the  portion  of  my  people:  how  doth  he 
'remove   it  from  me!  to  the  rebellious  he  divideth 

5  our  fields.  Therefore  thou  shalt  have  none  that 
shall  cast  the  line  by  lot  in  the  congregation  of  the 

6  Lord.  'Prophesy  ye  not,  thus  they  prophesy.  They 
shall  not  prophesy  'to   these:    reproaches  shall  not 

7  depart.  *Shall  it  be  said,  O  house  of  Ja'cob,  Is  the 
spirit  of  the  Lord  'straitened  ?  are  these  his  doings  ? 
Do  not  my  words  do  good  to  him  that  walketh  up- 

8  rightly  ?  But  '"of  late  my  people  is  risen  up  as  an 
enemy :  ye  strip  the  robe  from  off  the  garment  from 
them  that  pass  by  securely  as  men  averse  from  war. 

9  The  women  of  my  people  ye  cast  out  from  their  pleas- 
ant houses ;  from  their  young  children  ye  take  away 

10  my  glory  for  ever.  Arise  ye,  and  depart ;  for  this  is 
not  your  rest :  because  of  uncleanness  "that  destroy- 

lleth,  even  with  a  grievous  destruction.  If  a  man 
walking  '^in  wind  and  falsehood  do  lie,  saying,  I  will 
prophesy  unto  thee  of  wine  and  of  strong  drink;  he 
shall  even  be  the  prophet  of  this  people. 

12  I  will  surely  assemble,  O  Ja'cob,  all  of  thee;  I 
will  surely  gather  the  remnant  of  Is'ra-el ;  I  will  put 
them  together  as  the  sheep  of  Boz'rah  :  as  a  flock  in 
the  midst  of  their  pasture,  they   shall   make   great 

13  noise  by  reason  otthe  multitude  of  men.  The  breaker 
is  gone  up  before  them:  they  have  broken  forth 
and  passed  on  to  the  gate,  and  are  gone  out  thereat : 
and  their  king  is  passed  on  before  them,  and  the 
Lord  at  the  head  of  them. 

O  And  I  said,  Hear,  I  pray  you,  ye  heads  of  Ja'cob, 
and  rulers  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el :  is  it  not  for  you 

2  to  know  judgement?  who  hate  the  good,  and  love  the 
evil;  who  pluck  off  their  skin    from  off  them,  and 

3  their  flesh  from  off  their  bones ;  who  also  eat  the 
flesh  of  my  people ;  and  they  flay  their  skin  from  off 
them,  and  break  their  bones :  yea,  they  chop  them  in 
pieces,  as  for  the  pot,  and  as  flesh  within  the  caldron. 

4  Then  shall  they  cry  unto  the  Lord,  but  he  will  not 
answer  them :  yea,  he  will  hide  his  face  from  them 
at  that  time,  according  as  they  have  wrought  evil  in 

6  their  doings.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning  the 
prophets  that  make  my  people  to  err ;  that  bite  with 
their  teeth  and  cry,  Peace :  and  whoso  putteth  not  into 
their  mouths,  they  even  "prepare  war  against  him :

6  *Therefore  night  shaU  be  unto  you,  fthat  ye  shall  not 
have  a  vision ;  and  it  shall  be  dark  unto  you,  fthat  ye  shall 
not  divine;  'and  the  sun  shall  go  down  over  the  prophets, 
and  the  day  shall  be  dark  over  them. 

7  Then  shall  the  seers  be  ashamed,  and  the  diviners  con- 
founded ;  yea,  they  shall  all  cover  their  flips ;  *for  there  is 
no  answer  of  God. 

8  ^But  truly  I  am  full  of  power  by  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord, 
and  of  judgment,  and  of  might,  'to  declare  unto  Ja'cob  his 
transgression,  and  to  Is'ra-el  his  sin. 

9  Hear  this,  I  pray  you,  ye  heads  of  the  house  of  Ja'cob, 
and  princes  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  that  abhor  judgment,  and 
pervert  all  equity. 

10  ""They  build  up  Zi'on  with  "fblood,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem 
with  iniquity. 

11  "The  heads  thereof  judge  for  reward,  and  "tHe  priests 
thereof  teach  for  hire,  and  the  prophets  thereof  diviue  for 
money :  «yet  will  they  lean  upon  the  Lord,  f  and  say,  Is 
not  the  Lord  among  us?  none  evil  can  come  upon  us. 

12  Therefore  shall  Zi'on  for  your  sake  be  ''ploughed  as  a 
field,  'and  Je-ru'sa-Iem  shall  become  heaps,  and 'the  mount- 
ain of  the  house  as  the  high  places  of  the  forest. 

CHAPTER   IV. 

Estabhshment  of  Chris fs  kingdom;  peace,  restoration,  kingdom,  <Sfc. 

BUT  "in  the  last  days  it  shall  come  to  pass,  fhat  the 
mountain  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  shall  be  establi.shed 
in  the  top  of  the  mountains,  and  it  shall  be  exalted  above 
the  hills;  and  people  shall  flow  unto  it. 

2  And  many  nations  shall  come,  and  say.  Come,  and  let 
us  go  up  to  the  mountain  of  the  Lord,  and  to  the  house  of 
the  God  of  Ja'cob ;  and  he  will  teach  us  of  his  ways,  and  we 
will  walk  in  his  paths:  for  the  law  shall  go  forth  of  Zi'on, 
and  the  word  of  the  Lord  from  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  5[And  he  shall  judge  among  many  people,  and  rebuke 
strong  nations  afar  off,  and  they  shall  beat  their  swords 
into  'ploughshares,  and  their  spears  into  ||pruninghooks: 
nation  shall  not  lift  up  a  sword  against  nation,  "neither 
shall  they  learn  war  any  more. 

4  ''But  they  shall  sit  every  man  under  his  vine  and  under

6  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  'will  I  assemble  her  that 
halteth,  *and  I  will  gather  her  that  is  driven  out,  and  her 
that  I  have  afflicted ; 

7  And  I  will  make  her  that  halted  *a  remnant,  and  her  that 
was  cast  far  off  a  strong  nation :  and  the  Lord  *shall  reign 
over  them  in  mount  Zi'on  from  henceforth,  even  for  ever. 

8  ^And  thou,  O  tower  of  ||  the  flock,  the  strong  hold  of  the 
daughter  of  Zi'on,  unto  thee  shall  it  come,  even  the  first  do-

9  Now  why  dost  thou  cry  out  aloud  ?  't8  there  no  king  in 
thee  ?  is  thy  counsellor  perished  ?  for  ""pangs  have  taken 
thee  as  a  woman  in  travail. 

10  Be  in  pain,  and  labour  to  bring  forth,  O  daughter  of 
Zi'on,  like  a  woman  in  travail :  for  now  shalt  thou  go  forth  out 
of  the  city,  and  thou  shalt  dwell  in  the  field,  and  thou  shalt 
go  even  to  Bab'y-lon ;  there  shalt  thou  be  delivered ;  there 
the  Lord  shall  redeem  thee  from  the  hand  of  thine  enemies. 

11  ^"Now  also  many  nations  are  gathered  against  thee, 
that  say.  Let  her  be  defiled,  and  let  our  eye  "look  upon  Zi'on. 

12  But  they  know  not ''the  thoughts  of  the  Lord:  neither 
understand  they  his  counsel :  for  he  shall  gather  them  'as 
the  sheaves  into  the  floor.

in  pieces  many  people :  'and  I  will  consecrate  their  gain  unto  the 
Lord,  and  their  substance  unto  "the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth. 


6  Therefore  it  shall  be  night  unto  you,  that  ye  shall 
have  no  vision ;  and  it  shall  be  dark  unto  you,  that 
ye  shall  not  divine ;  and  the  sun  shall  go  down  upon

7  them.  And  the  seers  shall  be  ashamed,  and  the 
diviners  confounded;  yea,  they  shall  all  cover  their 

8  lips:  for  there  is  no  answer  of  God.  But  I  truly  am 
full  of  power  'by  the  spirit  of  the  Lord,  and  of 
judgement,  and  of  might,  to  declare  unto  Ja'cob  his 

9  transgression,  and  to  Is'ra-el  his  sin.  Hear  this,  I  pray 
you„  ye  heads  of  the  house  of  Ja'cob,  and  rulers  of 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el,  that  abhor  judgement,  and  per- 

10  vert  all  equity.     They  build  up  Zi'on  with  blood,  and

lean  upon  the  Lord,  and  say,  Is  not  the  Lord  in  the 

12  midst  of  us?  no  evil  shall  come  upon  us.  Therefore 
shall  Zi'on  for  your  sake  be  plowed  as  a  field,  and 
Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  become  heaps,  and  the  mountain 
of  the  house  as  the  high  places  of  a  forest. 

4^  2gy^  jjj  ^jjg  latter  days  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  the 
mountain  of  the  Lord's  house  shall  be  established  'in 
the  top  of  the  mountains,  and  it  shall  be  exalted  above 

2  the  hills ;  and  peoples  shall  flow  unto  it.  And  many 
nations  shall  go  and  say.  Come  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to 
the  mountain  of  the  Lord,  and  to  the  house  of  the 
God  of  Ja'cob ;  and  he  will  teach  us  of  his  ways,  and 
we  will  walk  in  his  paths :  for  out  of  Zi'on  shall  go  forth 
*the  law,  and  the  word  of  the  Lord  from  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  he  shall  judge 'bet ween 'many  peoples,  and  shall 
'reprove  strong  nations  afar  ofi";  and  they  shall  beat 
their  swords  into  plowshares,  and  their  spears  into 
pruninghooks :  nation  shall  not  lift  up  sword  against 

4  nation,  neither  shall  they  learn  war  any  more.  But 
they  shall  sit  every  man  under  his  vine  and  under  his 
fig  tree ;  and  none  shall  make  them  afraid  :    for  the 

5  mouth  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  spoken  it.  For  all 
the  peoples  'will  walk  every  one  in  the  name  of  his 
god,  and  we  will  walk  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  our 
God  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  In  that  day,  saith  the  LoRD,will  I  assemble  her  that 
halteth,  and  I  will  gather  her  that  is  driven  away,  and 

7  her  that  I  have  afflicted ;  and  I  will  make  her  that 
halted  a  remnant,  and  her  that  was  cast  far  off  a  strong 
nation  :  and  the  Lord  shall  reign  over  them  in  mount 

8  Zi'on  from  henceforth  even  for  ever.  And  thou,  O 
tower  of 'the  flock,  '"the  hill  of  the  daughter  of  Zi'on, 
unto  thee  shall  it  come;  yea,  the  former  dominion  shall 
come,  the  kingdom  of  the  daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

9  Now  why  dost  thou  cry  out  aloud  ?  Is  there  no  king 
in  thee,  is  thy  counsellor  perished,  that  pangs  have 

10  taken  hold  of  thee  as  of  a  woman  in  travail?  Be  in  pain, 
and  labour  to  bring  forth,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on,  like  a 
woman  in  travail :  for  now  shalt  thou  go  forth  out  of 
the  city,  and  shalt  dwell  in  the  field,  and  shalt  come 
even  untoBab'y-lon;there  shalt  thou  be  rescued;  there 
shall  the  Lord  redeem  thee  from  the  hand  of  thine 

11  enemies.  And  now  many  nations  are  assembled 
against  thee,  that  say.  Let  her  be  defiled,  and  let  our  eye 

12  "see  its  desire  upon  Zi'on.  But  they  know  not  the 
thoughts  of  the  Lord,  neither  understand  they  his 
counsel :  for  he  hath  gathered  them  as  the  sheaves  to  the 

13  threshing-floor.  Arise  and  thresh,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on: 
for  I  will  make  thine  horn  iron,  and  I  will  make  thy 
hoofs  brass :  and  thou  shalt  beat  in  pieces  many  peo- 
ples :  and  'Hhou  shalt  devote  their  gain  unto  the  Lord, 
and  their  substance  unto  the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth.

CHAPTER  V. 

The  birth  of  Christ ;  his  kingdom;  his  conquest. 

"Vr  OW  gather  thyself  in  troops,  O  daughter  of  troops :  he 
1.1  hath  laid  siege  against  us :  they  shall  "smite  the  judge 
of  Is'ra-el  with  a  rod  upon  the  cheek. 

2  But  thou,  ''Beth'-le-hem  Eph'ra-tah,  though  thou  be  little 
"among  the  ''thousands  of  Ju'dah,  yet  out  of  thee  shall  he 
come  forth  unto  me  that  is  to  be  'ruler  in  Is'ra-el;  ■''whose 
goings  forth  have  been  from  of  old,  from  feverlasting. 

3  Therefore  will  he  give  them  up,  until  the  time  that  'she 
which  travaileth  hath  brought  forth :  then  ''the  remnant  of 
his  brethren  shall  return  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

4  ^And  he  shall  stand  and  ||'feed  in  thestrength  of  the  Lord, 
in  the  majesty  of  the  name  of  the  Lord  his  God;  and  they 
shallabide:  for  now  ^shall  he  begreat  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

6  And  this  man  'shall  be  the  peace,  when  the  As-syr'i-an 
shall  come  into  our  land:  and  when  he  shall  tread  in  our 
palaces,  then  shall  we  raise  against  him  seven  sh'^pherds, 
and  eight  fprincipal  men. 

6  And  they  shall  fwaste  the  land  of  As-syr'i-a  with  the  sword, 
and  the  land  of  ""Nim'rod  ||in  the  entrances  thereof:  thus 
shall  he  "deliver  its  from  the  As-syr'i-an,  when  he  cometh 
into  our  laud,  and  when  he  treadeth  within  our  borders. 

7  And  "the  remnant  of  Ja'cob  shall  be  in  the  midst  of  many 
people  ""as  the  dew  from  the  Lord,  as  the  showers  upon  the 
grass,  that  tarrieth  not  for  man,  nor  waiteth  for  the  sons  of  men. 

8  ^And  the  remnant  of  Ja'cob  shall  be  among  the  Gentiles 
in  the  midst  of  many  people,  as  a  lion  among  the  beasts  of 
the  forr.st,  as  a  young  lion  among  the  flocks  of  ||  sheep: 
who,  if  he  go  through,  both  treadeth  down,  and  teareth  in 
pieces,  and  none  can  deliver. 

9  Thine  hand  shall  be  lifted  up  upon  thine  adversaries, 
and  all  thine  enemies  shall  be  cut  off. 

10  "And  it  shall  come  to  [)ass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  I  will  cut  off  thy  horses  out  of  the  midst  of  thee,  and  I 
will  destroy  thy  chariots  : 

11  Anrl  1  will  cut  off  the  cities  of  thy  land,  and  throw 
down  all  thy  strong  holds : 

12  And  I  will  cut  off  witchcrafts  out  of  thine  hand;  and 
thou  shalt  have  no  more  ""soothsayers : 

13  'Thy  graven  images  al.so  will  I  cut  off,  and  thy  |(  stand- 
ing images  out  of  the  midst  of  thee;  and  thou  shalt  'no 
more  worship  the  work  of  thy  hands. 

14  And  I  will  pluck  up  thy  groves  out  of  the  midst  of 
thee:  so  will  I  destroy  thy  ||  cities. 

15  And  I  will  "execute  vengeance  in  ang«r  and  fur.y  upon 
the  heathen,  such  as  they  have  not  heard. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

God's  ct^tr over sy  for  uniindness,/or  ignorance,  for  injusti^e^  and  'vr  ittoiaUy. 

HEAR  ye  now   what  the   Lord  saith ;    Arise,  contend 
thou  ybefore  the  mountains,and  let  the  hills  hear  thy  voice. 

2  "Hear  ye,  O  mountains,  Hhe  Lord's  controversy,  and  ye 
strong  foundations  of  the  earth  :  for  ""the  Lord  hath  a  con- 
troversy with  his  people,  and  he  will  plead  with  Is'ra-el. 

3  O  my  people,  ''what  have  I  done  unto  thee  ?  and  wherein 
have  I  wearied  thee?  testify  against  me. 

4  "For  I  brought  thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and 
redeemed  thee  out  of  the  house  of  servants ;  and  I  sent 
before  thee  Mo'ses,  Aa'ron,  and  Mir'i-am. 

5  O  my  people,  remember  now  what  ^Ba'lak  king  of  Mo'ab 
consulted,  and  what  Ba'laam  the  son  of  Be'or  answered  him 
from  "Shit'tim  unto  Gil'gal;  that  ye  may  know  'the  right- 
eousness of  the  Lord. 

6  ^Wherewith  shall  I  come  before  the  Lord,  and  bow 
myself  before  the  high  God?  shall  I  come  before  him  with 
burnt  offerings,  with  calves  fof  a  year  old? 

7  'Will  the  Lord  be  pleased  with  thousands  of  rams,  or  with 
ten  thousands  of  *rivers  of  oil?  'shall  I  give  my  firstborn /oj- 
my  transgression,  the  fruit  of  my  fbody/or  the  sin  of  my  soul? 


V  Now  shalt  thou  gather  thyself  in  troops,  O  daughter 
of  troops :  he  hath  laid  siege  against  us :  they  shall 
smite  the  judge  of  Is'ra-el  with  a  rod  upon  the  cheek. 

2  But  thou,  Beth'-le-hem  Eph'ra-thah,  which  art  little 
to  be  among  the  'thousands  of  Ju'dah,  out  of  thee  shall 
one  come  forth  unto  me  that  is  to  be  ruler  in  Is'ra-el ; 
whose  goings  forth  are  from  of  old,  ^from  everlasting. 

3  Therefore  will  he  give  them  up,  until  the  time  that  she 
which  travaileth  hath  brought  forth :  then  the  residue 
of  his  brethren  shall  return  'unto   the  children  of 

4  Is'ra-el.  And  he  shall  stand,  and  shall  feed  his  flock  in 
the  strength  of  the  Lord,  in  the  majesty  of  the  name 
of  the  Lord  his  God :  and  they  shall  abide ;  for  now 

5  shall  he  be  great  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth.  And  this 
man  shall  be  our  peace :  when  the  As-syr'i-an  shall  come 
into  our  land,  and  when  he  shall  tread  in  our  palaces, 
then  shall  we  raise  against  him  seven  shepherds,  and 

6  eight  ^principal  men.  And  they  shall  'waste  the  land 
of  As-syr'i-a  with  the  sword,and  the  land  of  Nim'rod  in 
the  eiitrances  thereof:  and  he  shall  deliver  us  from  the 
As-syr'i-an,  when  he  cometh  into  our  land,  and  when 

7  he  treadeth  within  our  border.  And  the  remnant  of 
Ja'cob  shall  be  in  the  midst  of  many  peoples  as  dew 
from  the  Lord,  as  showers  upon  the  grass ;  that 
tarrieth  not  for  man,  nor  waiteth  for  the  sons  of  men. 

8  And  the  remnautof  Ja'cob  shall  be  among  the  nations, 
in  the  midst  of  many  peoples,  as  a  lion  among 
the  beasts  of  the  forest,  as  a  young  lion  among 
the  flocks  of  sheep:  who,  if  he  go  through,  treadeth 
down  and  teareth  in  pieces,  and   there   is  none   to 

9  deliver.  Let  thine  hand  be  lifted  up  above  thine 
adversaries,  and  let  all  thine  enemies  be  cut  off. 

10  And  it  hhall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the 
Lord  that  I  will  cut  off  thy  horses  out  of  the  midst 

11  of  thee,  and  will  destroy  thy  chariots:  and  I  -srill 
cut  off  the'  cities  of  thy  land,  and  will  throw  down 

12 all  thy  strong  holds:  and  I  will  cut  off  witchcrafts 
out  of  thine   hand ;    and  thou   shalt   have   no  m<yre 

13 soothsayers;  and  I  will  cut  off  thy  graven  images 
and  thy  *pillars  out  of  the  midst  of  thee ;  and  thou 
shalt  no   more  worship   the   work  of  thine  hands. 

14  And  I  will  pluck  up  thine  'Ash'er-im  out  of  the  midst 

X5  of  thee :  and  I  will  destroy  thy  'cities  And  I  will 
execute  vengeance  in  anger  and  fury  upon  the 
nations  'which  hearkened  not.     . 

0  Hear  ye  now  what  the  Lord  saith :  Arise,  con- 
tend thou  before  the   mountains,  and   let  the  hills 

2  hear  thy  voice.  Hear,  O  ye  mountains,  the  Lord's 
controversy,  and  ye  enduring  foundations  of  the 
earth:    for  the  Lord  hath  a  controversy  with  his 

3  people,  and  he  will  plead  with  Is'ra-el.  O  my  people, 
what  have  I  done  unto  thee?   and  wherein  have  I 

4 wearied  thee?  testify  against  me.  For  I  brought 
thee  up  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  and  redeemed 
thee  out  of  the  house  of  bondage ;  and  I  sent  before 

5  thee  Mo'ses,  Aa'ron,  and  Mir'i-am.  O  my  people, 
remember  now  what  Ba'lak  king  of  Mo'ab  con- 
sulted, and  what  Ba'laam  the  son  of  Be'or  answered 
him ;    remember  from  Shit'tim  unto  Gil'gal,  that  ye 

6  may  know  the  righteous  acts  of  the  Lord.  Where- 
with shall  I  come  before  the  Lord,  and  bow  my- 
self before  the  high  God?  shall  I  come  before 
him   with    burnt   offerings,  with   calves  of  a   year 

Told?  Will  the  Lord  be  pleased  v.-ith  thousands 
of  rams,  or  with  ten  thousands  of  rivers  of  oil? 
shall  I  give  my  firstborn  for  my  transgression, 
the   fruit   of  my   body    for   the   sin    of    my    soul?

WOE  is  me !  for  I  am  as  fwhen  they  have  gathered  the 
summer  fruits,  as  "the  grape  gleanings  of  the  vintage : 
there  is  no  cluster  to  eat :  'my  soul  desired  the  first  ripe  fruit. 

2  The  ° II good  man  is  perished  out  of  the  earth;  and  there 
is  none  upright  among  men :  they  all  lie  in  wait  for  blood ; 

they  hunt  every  man  his  brother  with  a  net. 

3  "[[That  they  may  do  evil  with  both  hands  earnestly,  the 
prince  asketh,  ■'and  the  judge  asketh  for  a  rejvard;  and  the  great 
man,  he  uttereth  f  his  mischievous  desire:  so  they  wrap  it  up. 

4  The  best  of  them  'is  as  a  brier:  the  most  upright  is 
sharper  than  a  thorn  hedge :  the  day  of  thy  watchmen,  and 
thy  visitation  cometh;  now  shall  be  their  perplexity. 

5  ^*Trust  ye  not  in  a  friend,  put  ye  not  confidence  in  a  guide : 
keep  the  doors  of  thy  mouth  from  her  that  lieth  in  thy  bosom. 

6  For  'the  son  dishonoureth  the  father,  the  daughter  riseth 
up  against  her  mother,  the  daughter  in  law  against  her 
mother  in  law;  a  man's  enemies  are  the  men  of  his  own  house. 

7  Therefore  *I  will  look  unto  the  Lord;  I  will  wait  for 
the  God  of  my  salvation :  my  God  will  hear  me.

8 He  hath  shewed  thee,  O  man,  what  is  good;   and

of  violence,  and  the  inhabitants  thereof  have  spr^ken 
lies,  and   their  tongue  is  deceitful  in  their  mouth. 

13  Therefore  I  also  have  smitten  thee  with  a  grievous 
wound;  I  have  made  thee  desolate  because  of  thy 

14  sins.  Thou  shalt  eat,  but  not  be  satisfied ;  and  thy 
^humiliation  shall  be  in  the  midst  of  thee:  and  thou 
shalt  remove,  but  shalt  not  carry  away  safe;  and 
that  which  thou  earnest  away  will  I  give  up  to  the 

15 sword.  Thou  shalt  sow,  but  shalt  not  reap:  thou 
shalt  tread  the  olives,  but  shalt  not  anoint  thee  with

*  Woe  is  me  !  for  I  am  as  when  they  have  gathered 
the  summer  fruits,  as  the  grape  gleanings  of  the

the  earth,  and  there  is  none  upright  among  men : 
they  all  lie  in  wait  for  blood ;  they  hunt  every  man 

3  his  brother  with  a  net.  'Their  hands  are  upon  that 
which  is  evil  to  do  it  diligently;  the  prince  asketh, 
and  the  judge  is  ready  for  a  reward;  and  the  great 
■man,  he  uttereth  the  mischief  of  his  soul :  thus  they 

4  weave  it  together.  The  best  of  them  is  as  a  brier:  'the 
most  upright  is  worse  than  a  thorn  hedge :  the  day 
of  thy  watchmen,  even  thy  visitation,  is  come;  now

7  But  as  for  me,  *I  will  look  unto  the  Lord;  I  will 
wait  for  the  God  of  my  salvation  :  my  God  will  hear 

8  me.  Rejoice  not  against  me,  O  '"mine  enemy :  when 
I  fall,  I  shall  arise ;  when  I  sit  in  darkness,  the  Lord 

9  shall  be  a  light  unto  me.  I  will  bear  the  indignation 
of  the  Lord,  because  I  have  sinned  against  him ;  until 
he  plead  my  cause,  and  execute  judgement  for  me  :  he 
will  bring  me  forth  to  the  light,  and  I  shall  behold  his 

10  righteousness.  Then  mine  enemy  shall  see  it,  and 
shame  shall  cover  her;  which  said  unto  me.  Where 
is  the  Lord  thy  God?  Mine  eyes  shall  behold  her; 
now  shall  she  be  trodden  down  as  the  mire  of  thr. 

11  streets.     "A  day    for   building   thy  walls!    in    that 

12  day  shall  'the  'Mecree  be  far  removed.  In  that  day

might :  they  shall  lay  their  hand  upon  their  mouth, 

17  their  ears  shall  be  deaf.  They  shall  lick  the  dust  like 
a  serpent ;  like  crawling  things  of  the  earth  they  shall 
come  trembling  out  of  their  close  places :  they  shall 
come  with  fear  unto  the  Lord  our  God,  and  shall  be 

18  afraid  because  of  thee.  Who  is  a  God  like  unto  thee, 
that  pardoneth  iniquity,  and  passeth  by  the  trans- 
gression of  the  remnant  of  his  heritage  ?  he  retaineth 
not  his  anger  for  ever,  because  he  delighteth  in  mercy. 

19  He  will  turn  again  and  have  compassion  upon  us;  he 
will  'tread  our  iniquities  under  foot:  and  thou  wilt 

20  cast  all  their  sins  into  the  depths  of  the  sea.  ^Thou 
wilt  'perform  the  truth  to  Ja  cob,  and  the  mercy  to 
A'bra-ham,  which  thou  hast  sworn  unto  our  fathers 
fix)m  the  days  of  old.

rPHE  burden  "of  Nin'e-veh.     The  book  of  the  vision  of 
1    Na'hum  the  El'kosh-ite. 

2  II  God  is  'Jealous,  and  "^he  Lord  revengeth;  the  Lord 
revengeth,  and  fis  furious;  the  Lord  will  take  vengeance 
on  his  adversaries,  and  he  reserveth  wrath  for  his  enemies. 

3  The  Lord  is  ''slow  to  anger,  and  'great  in  power,  and 
will  not  at  all  acquit  the  wicked;  •''the  Lord  hath  his  way  in 
the  whirlwind  and  in  the  storm,  and  the  clouds  are  the  dust 
of  his  feet. 

4  "He  rebuketh  the  sea,  and  maketh  it  dry,  and  drieth  up 
all  the  rivers:  Ba'shan  languisheth,  and  Car'mel,  and  the 
flower  of  Leb'a-non  languisheth. 

5  'The  mountains  quake  at  him,  and  'the  hills  melt,  and 
'the  earth  is  burned  at  his  presence,  yea,  the  world,  and  all 
that  dwell  therein. 

6  Who  can  stand  before  his  indignation?  and  "who  can 
fabide  in  the  fierceness  of  his  anger  ?  "his  fury  is  poured 
out  like  fire,  and  the  rocks  are  thrown  down  by  him, 

7  "The  Lord  is  good,  a  ||  strong  hold  in  the  day  of  trouble; 
and  ''he  knoweth  them  that  trust  in  him. 

8  'But  with  an  overrunning  flood  he  will  make  an  utter  end 
of  the  place  thereof,  and  darkness  shall  pursue  his  enemies. 

9  'What  do  ye  imagine  against  the  Lord?  'he  will  make  an 
utter  end :  affliction  shall  not  rise  up  the  second  time. 

10  For  while  they  be  folden  together  ^as  thorns,  "and  while 
they  are  drunken  as  drunkards,  ''they  shall  be  devoured  a-s 
stubble  fully  dry. 

11  There  is  one  come  out  ot  thee,  "that  imagineth  evil 
against  the  Lord,  fa  wicked  counsellor. 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  ||  Though  they  be  quiet,  and 
likewise  many,  yet  thus  "shall  they  be  fcut  down,  when  he 
shall  "pass  through.  Though  I  have  afflicted  thee,  I  will 
afflict  thee  no  more. 

13  For  now  will  I  ''break  his  yoke  from  ofl"  thee,  and  will 
burst  thy  bonds  in  sunder. 

14  And  the  Lord  hath  given  a  commandment  concerning 
thee,  that  no  more  of  thy  name  be  sown :  out  of  the  house 
of  thy  gods  will  I  cut  off  the  graven  image  and  the  molten 
image:  'I  will  make  thy  grave;  for  thou  art  vile. 

15  Behold  ''upon  the  mountains  the  feet  of  him  that 
bringeth  good  tidings,  that  publisheth  peace !  O  Ju'dah,  fkeep 
thy  solemn  feasts,  perform  thy  vows :  for  f'the  wicked  shall 
no  more  pass  through  thee :  4ie  is  utterly  cut  off.

4-  The  *burden  of  Nin'e-veh.  The  book  of  the  vision 
of  Na'hum  the  El'kosh-ite. 

2  The  Lord  is  a  jealous  God  and  avengeth ;  the 
Lord  avengeth  and  is  full  of  wrath;  the  Lord 
taketh  vengeance  on  his  adversaries,  and  he  reserveth 

3  wrath  for  his  enemies.  The  Lord  is  slow  to  anger, 
and  great  in  power,  and  will  by  no  means  clear  the 
guilty:  the  Lord  hath  his  way  in  the  whirlwind 
and  in  the  storm,  and  the  clouds  are  the  dust  of  his 

4  feet.  He  rebuketh  the  sea,  and  maketh  it  dry,  and 
drieth  up  all  the  rivers:  Ba'shan  languisheth,  and 
Car'mel,  and   the   flower  of  Leb'a-non  languisheth 

5 The  mountains  quake  at  him,  and  the  hills  melt; 
and  the  earth  is  upheaved  at  his  presence,  yea,  the 

6  world,  and  all  that  dwell  therein.  Whj  can  stand 
before  his  indignation?  and  who  can  abide  in  the 
fierceness  of  his  anger?  his  fury  is  poured  out  like 

7  fire,  and  the  rocks  are  broken  asunder  by  him.  The 
Lord  is  good,  a  strong  hold  in  the  day  of  trouble ; 
and  he  knoweth  them  that  put  their  trust  in  him. 

8  But  with  an  overrunning  flood  he  will  make  a  full  end 
of  the  place  thereof,  and  will  pursue  his  enemies  into 

9  darkness.  What  do  ye  imagine  against  the  Lord  ? 
he  will  make  a  full  end :  affliction  shall  not  ris^  up 

10  the  second  time.  For  though  they  be  like  tangled 
thorns,  and  be  drenched  as  it  were  in  their  drink, 
they    shall   be    devoured    'utterly    as    dry    stubble. 

11  There  is  one  gone  forth  out  of  thee,  that  imagineth 
evil  again.st  the  Lord,  'that  counselleth  'wickedness. 

12 Thus  saith  the  Lord:  Though  they  be  in  full 
strength,  and  likewise  many,  even  so  shall  they  be 
cut  down,  and  he  shall  pass  away.     'Though  I  have 

13 afflicted  thee,  I  will  afflict  thee  no  more.'  And  now 
will  I  break  his  yoke  from  off  thee,  and  will  burst 

14  thy  bonds  in  sunder.  And  the  Lord  hath  given 
commandment  concerning  thee,  that  no  more  of 
thy  name  be  sown:  out  of  the  house  of  thy  gods 
will  I  cut  off  the  graven  image  and  the  moulten 
image ;  I  will  make  thy  grave ;  for  thou  art  vile. 

15  Behold,  upon  the  mountains  the  feet  of  him  that 
bringeth  good  tidings,  that  publisheth  peace!  Keep 
thy  feasts,  O  Ju'dah,  perform  thy  vows:  for  'the 
wicked  one  shall  no  more  pass  through  thee;  he  is 
utterly  cut  off.

CHAPTER    II. 

Judah  and  Israel  being  punished,   God  sendeth  armies  against  their  enemies. 

HE  II  "that  dasheth  in  pieces  is  come  up  before  thy  face : 
•"keepthe  munition,  watch  the  way,  make  thy  loins  strong, 
fortify  thy  power  mightily. 

2  ''For  the  Lord  hath  turned  away  jjthe  excellency  of 
Ja'cob,  as  the  excellency  of  Is'ra-el :  for  ''the  emptiers  have 
emptied  them  out,  and  marred  their  vine  branches. 

3  The  shield  of ''is  mighty  men  is  made  'red,  the  valiant  men 
are  1 1  in  scarlet:  the  chariots  sAaZZie  with  ||flaming  torches  in  the 
day  of  his  preparation,  and  the  fir  trees  shall  be  terribly  shaken. 

4  The  chariots  shall  rage  in  the  streets,  they  shall  jostle 
one  against  another  in  the  broad  ways:  fthey  shall  seem 
like  torches,  they  shall  run  like  the  lightnings. 

5  He  shall  recount  his  ||  worthies:  they  shall  stumble  in 
their  walk;  they  shall  make  haste  to  the  wall  thereof,  and 
the  tdefence  shall  be  prepared. 

6  The  gates  of  the  rivers  shall  be  opened,  and  the  palace 
shall  be  ||  dissolved. 

7  And  II  Huz'zab  shall  be  ||  led  away  captive,  she  shall  be

of  Aioves,  tabering  upon  their  breasts.

9  Takeye  the  spoil  of  silver,  take  the  spoil  of  gold:  ||for  there  is 
none  end  of  the  store  a-'id  glory  out  of  all  thefpleasant  furniture. 

10  She  is  empty,  and  void,  and  waste :  and  the  "heart 
melteth,  and  ''the  knees  smite  together,  'and  much  pain  is 
in  all  loins,  and  *the  faces  of  them  all  gather  blackness. 

11  Where  is  the  dwelling  of  'the  lions,  and  the  feeding 
place  of  the  young  lions,  where  the  lion,  even  the  old  lion, 
walked,  and  the  lion's  whelp,  and  none  made  them  afraid. 

1  2  The  lion  did  tear  in  pieces  enough  for  his  whelps,  and 
strangled  for  his  lionesses,  and  filled  his  holes  with  prey, 
and  his  dens  with  ravin. 

13  ""Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  saith  the  Lobd  of  hosts,  and 

I  will  burn  her  chariots  in  the  smoke,  and  the  sword  shall 

devour  thy  young  lions :  and  I  will  cut  ofi^  thy  prey  from  the 

earth,  and  the  voice  of  "thy  messengers  shall  no  more  be  heard. 

CHAPTER    III. 

The  miserabie  ruin  of  Nineveh  ;  no  power  able  to  resist  God. 

WOE  to  the  t"bloody  city !  it  is  all  full  of  lies  and  rob- 
bery ;  the  prey  departeth  not ; 

2  The  noise  of  a  whip,  and  'the  noise  of  the  rattling  of  the 
wheels,  and  of  the  prancing  horses,  and  of  the  jumping  chariots. 

3  The  horseman  lifteth  up  both  fthe  bright  sword  and  the 
glittering  spear:  and  there  is  a  multitude  of  slain,  and  a 
great  number  of  carcasses ;  and  there  is  none  end  of  their 
corbses ;  they  stumble  upon  their  corpses : 

4  Because  of  the  multitude  of  the  Av^oredoms  of  the  well 
favoured  harlot,  "the  mistress  of  witchcrafts,tha:  selleth  nations 
through  her  whoredoms,  and  families  through  her  witchcrafts. 

5  ''Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  and 
'I  will  discover  thy  skirts  upon  thy  face,  •'and  I  will  shew 
the  nations  thy  nakedness,  and  the  kingdoms  thy  shame. 

6  And  I  will  cast  abominable  filth  upon  thee,  and  'make 
thee  vile,  and  will  set  thee  as  ''a  gazingstock. 

7  And  it 'shall  come  to  pass,  that  all  they  that  look  upon 
thee  'shall  flee  from  thee,  and  say,  Nin'e-veh  is  laid  waste:  *who 
will  bemoan  her?   whence  shall  I  seek  comforters  for  thee  ? 

8  'Art  thou  better  than  ||  fpopulous  "'No,  that  was  situate 
among  the  rivers,  that  had  the  waters  round  about  it,  whose 
rampart  was  the  sea,  and  her  wall  was  from  the  sea  ? 

9  E-thi-o'pi-a  and  E'gypt  were  her  strength,  and  it  was  in- 
finite ;  Put  and  Lu'bim  were  fthy  helpers. 

10  Yet  was  she  carried  away,  she  went  into  captivity :  "her 
young  children  also  were  dashed  in  pieces  "at  the  top  of  all 
the  streets:  and  they  "cast  lots  for  her  honourable  men, 
and  ai!  her  great  men  were  bound  in  chains, 


^  He  that  dasheth  in  pieces  is  come  up  before  thy 
face  :  keep  the  munition,  watch  the  way,   make  thy 

2  loins  strong,  fortify  thy  power  mightily.  For  the 
Lord  bringeth  again  the  excellency  of  Ja'cob,  as 
the  excellency  of  Is'ra-el :  for  the  emptiers  have 
emptied  them  out,  and  marred  their  vine  branches. 

3  The  shield  of  nis  mighty  men  is  made  red,  the 
valiant  men  arc  in  scarlet :  the  chariots  'flash  with 
steel  in  the  day  of  his  preparation,  and  the  ^spears 

4  are  sliaken  terribly.  The  chariots  rage  in  the  streets, 
they  justle  one  against  another  ia  the  broad  ways: 
the  appearance  of  them  is    like   torches,   they   run 

5  like  the  lightnings.  He  remembereth  his  worthies : 
they  stumble  in  their  march ;  they  make  haste 
to  the  wall  thereof,  and  the  mantelet  is  prepared. 

6  The  gates  of  the  rivers  are  opened,  and  the   palace 

7  is  dissolved.  ^And  Huz'zab  is  uncovered,  she  is 
carried  away,  and  her  handmaids  Mnourn  as  with 
the   voice   of  doves,    tabering   upon  their  'breasts. 

8  But  Nin'e-veh  hath  been  "from  of  old  like  a  pool  of 
water:    yet  they  flee  away;    Stand^  stand,  they  cry; 

9  but  none  'looketh  back.  Take  ye  the  spoil  of  silver, 
take  the  spoil  of  gold :   for  there  is  none  end  of  the 

10  store,  the  'glory  of  all  pleasant  furniture.  She  is 
empty,  and  void,  and  waste :  and  the  heart  melteth, 
and  the  knees  smite  together,  and  anguish  is  in  all 
loins,  and  the  faces  of  them   all  are  waxed   pale. 

11  Where  is  the  den  of  the  lions,  and  the  feeding  place 
of  the  young  lions,  where  the  lion  ^and  the  lioness 
walked,    the    lion's    whelp,    and    none    made    them 

12 afraid?  The  lion  did  tear  in  pieces  enough  for  his 
whelps,  and  strangled   for  his   lionesses,   and  filled 

13  his  caves  with  prey,  and  his  dens  with  ravin.  Be- 
hold, I  am  against  thee,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
and  I  will  burn  her  chariots  in  the  smoke,  and  the 
sword  shall  devour  thy  young  lions:  and  I  will  cut 
off  thy  prey  from  the  earth,  and  the  voice  of  thy 
messengers  shall  no  more  be  heard. 

O  Woe  to  the  bloody  city !  it  is  all  full  of  lies  and 
2 rapine;  the  prey  departeth  not.  The  noise  of  the 
whip,  and  the  noise  of  the  rattling  of  wheels ;  and 
Spransing  horses,  and  jumping  chariots;  the  horse- 
man '"mounting,  and  the  flashing  sword,  and  the 
glittering  spear;  and  a  multitude  of  slain,  and  a 
great  heap  of  carcases :  and  there  is  none  end  of  the 

4  corpses;  they  stumble  upon  their  corpses  :  because  of 
the  multitude  of  the  whoredoms  of  the  well  favoured 
harlot,  the  mistress  of  witchcrafts,  that  selleth  nations 
through  her  whoredoms,   and  families   through    her 

5  witchcrafts.  Behold,  I  am  against  thee,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  I  will  discover  thy  skirts  "upon

6  and  the  kingdoms  thy  shame.  And  I  will  cast

8  Art  thou  better  than  No-a'mon,  that  was  situate  among 
the  "rivers,  that  had  the  waters  round  about  her; 
whose  rampart  was  '*the  sea,  and  her  wall  "was  of  the 

9  sea?  E-thi-o'pi-a  and  E'gypt  were  her  strength,  and  it 
10 was  infinite;  Put  and  Lu'bim  were  thy  helpers.  Yet

HABAKKUK. 


CHAPTER    I. 

Unto  Habakkuk  is  shewed  the  fearful  vengeance  by  the  Chaldeans, 

I'^HE  burden  which  Ha-bak'kuk  the  prophet  did  see. 
-    2  O  Lord,  how  long  shall  I  cry,"and  thou  wilt  not  hear ! 
even  cry  out  unto  thee  oj  violence,  and  thou  wilt  not  save  ? 

3  Why  dost  thou  shew  me  iniquity,  and  cause  me  to  be- 
hold grievance?  for  spoiling  and  violence  are  before  me: 
and  there  are  that  raise  up  strife  and  contention. 

4  Therefore  the  law  is  slacked,  and  judgment  doth  never 
go  forth :  for  the  'wicked  doth  compass  about  the  righteous ; 
therefore  ||  wrong  judgment  proceedeth. 

5  ^"Behold  ye  among  the  heathen,  and  regard,  and  won- 
der marvellously  :  for  /  will  work  a  work  in  your  days, 
which  ye  will  not  believe,  though  it  be  told  you. 

6  For,  lo,  ''II I  raise  up  the  Chal-de'ans,  that  bitter  and  hasty 
nation,  which  shall  march  through  the  fbreadth  of  the  land, 
to  possess  the  dwellingplaces  that  are  not  theirs. 

7  They  are  terrible  and  dreadful :  ||  their  judgment  and 
their  dignity  shall  proceed  of  themselves. 

8  Their  horses  also  are  swifter  than  the  leopards,  and  are 
more  fierce  fthan  the  'evening  wolves :  and  their  horsemen 
shall  spread  themselves,  and  their  horsemen  shall  come  from 
far;  -'^they  shall  fly  as  the  eagle  that  hasteth  to  eat. 

9  They  shall  come  all  for  violence:  j]  ftheir  faces  shall  sup  up 
as  the  east  wind,  and  they  shall  gather  the  captivity  as  the  sand. 

10  And  they  shall  scoff  at  the  kings,  and  the  princes  shall 
be  a  scorn  unto  them :  they  shall  deride  every  strong  hold ; 
for  they  shall  heap  dust,  and  take  it. 

11  Then  shall  his  mind  change,  and  he  shall  pass  over, 
and  offend,  "imputing  this  his  power  unto  his  god. 

12  %''Art  thou  not  from  everlasting,  O  LoKD  my  God, 
mine  Holy  One?  We  shall  not  die,  O  Lord,  'tbou  hast 
ordained  them  for  judgment;  and,  O  f mighty  God,  thou 
hast  festablished  them  for  correction. 

13  ''Thou  art  of  purer  eyes  than  to  behold  evil,  and  canst 
not  look  on  || iniquity:  'wherefore  lookest  thou  upon  them 
that  deal  treacherously,  and  boldest  thy  tongue,  when  the 
wicked  devoureth  the  man  that  is  more  righteous  than  he  ? 


HABAKKUK. 


i  The  'burden  which  Ha-bak'kuk  the  prophet  did  see. 

2  O  Lord,  how  long  shall  I  cry,  and  thou  wilt  not 
hear?     I  cry  out  unto  thee  of  violence,  and  thou 

3  wilt  not  save.  Why  dost  thou  shew  me  iniquity, 
and  'look  upon  perverseness?  for  spoiling  and  vio- 
lence are  before  me :  and  there  is  strife,  and  conten- 

4tion  riseth  up.  Therefore  the  law  is  slacked,  and 
judgement  Moth  never  go  forth:  for  the  wicked 
doth  compass  about  the  righteous;  therefore  judge- 

5  ment  goeth  forth  perverted.  Behold  ye  among  the 
nations,  and  regard,  aud  wonder  marvellously :  for 
'I    work  a  work  in  your    days,  which   ye  will  not 

6  believe  though  it  be  told  you.  For,  lo,  I  raise  up 
the  Chal-de'ans,  that  bitter  and  hasty  nation;  which 
march  through  the  breadth  of  the  earth,  to  possess 

7  dwelling  places  that  are  not  theirs.  '"They  are 
terrible   and   dreadful :    their  judgement  and  their 

8  dignity  proceed  from  themselves.  Their  horses  also 
are  swifter  than  leopards,  and  are  more  fierce  than 
the  evening  wolves;  and  their  horsemen  "spread 
themselves:    yea,  their    horsemen    come    from    far; 

9  they  fly  as  an  eagle  that  hasteth  to  devour.  They 
come  all  of  them  for  violence;  '^their  faces  are  set 
eagerly  ^^as  the  east  wind ;   and  they  gather  captives 

10 as  the  sand.  "Yea,  he  scoffeth  at  kings,  and  princes 
area  derision  unto  him :  he  derideth  every  strong  hold; 

11  for  he  heapeth  up  dust,  and  taketh  it.  "Then  shall  he 
sweep  by  asawiud,and  shall  '^pass  over,  and  be  guilty: 

12  even  he  whose  might  is  his  god.  Art  not  thou  from 
everlasting,  O  Lord  my  God,  mine  Holy  One?  ''we 
shall  not  die.  O  Lord,  thou  hast  ordained  him  for 
judgement ;  and  thou,  O  '*Rock,  hast  established  him 

13  for  correction.  Thou  that  art  of  purer  eyes  than  to 
behold  evil,  and  that  canst  not  look  on  perverseness, 
wherefore  lookest  thou  upon  them  that  deal  treach- 
erously, and  boldest  thy  peace  when  the  wicked  swal- 
loweth  up  the  man  that  is  more  righteous  than  he;

they  rejoice  and  are  glad. 

16  Therefore  "they  sacrifice  unto  their  net,  and  burn  in- 
cense unto  their  drag:  because  by  them  their  portion  is 
fat,  and  their  meat  Hfplenteous. 

17  Shall  they  therefore  empty  their  net,  and  not  spare 
continually  to  slay  the  nations? 

CHAPTER    II. 

The  judgment  upon  the  Chaldeans  for  their  sins: 

I  WILL  "stand  upon  my  watch,  and  set  me  upon  the 
ftower,  'and  will  watch  to  see  what  he  will  say  ||  unto  me, 
and  what  I  shall  answer  ||f when  I  am  reproved. 

2  And  the  Lord  answered  me,  and  said,  "Write  the  vision, 
and  make  it  plain  upon  tables,  that  he  may  run  that  readeth  it. 

3  For  ''the  vision  is  yet  for  an  appointed  time,  but  at  the 
end  it  shall  speak,  and  not  lie :  though  it  tarry,  wait  for  it ; 
because  it  will  'surely  come,  it  will  not  tariy. 

4  Behold,  his  soul  which  is  lifted  up,  is  not  upright  in 
him :  but  the  •'just  shall  live  by  his  faith. 

5  ^11  Yea  also,  because  he  transgresseth  by  wine,  Ae  is  a  proud 
man,  neither  keepeth  at  home,  who  enlargeth  his  desire  "as 
hell,  and  is  as  death,  and  cannot  be  satisfied,  but  gathereth 
unto  him  all  nations,  and  heapeth  unto  him  all  people : 

6  Shall  not  all  these  *take  up  a  parable  against  him,  and 
a  taunting  proverb  against  him,  and  say,  ||  Woe  to  him  that 
increaseth  that  which  is  not  his !  how  long  ?  and  to  him  that 
ladeth  himself  with  thick  clay! 

7  Shall  they  not  rise  up  suddenly  that  shall  bite  thee,  and 
awake  that  shall  vex  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  for  booties 
unto  them? 

8  'Because  thou  hast  spoiled  many  nations,  all  the  remnant  of 
the  people  shall  spoil  thee ;  ^because  of  men's  fblood,  and /or 
the  violence  of  the  land,  of  thecity,and  of  all  that  dwell  therein. 

9  \Woe  to  him  that  '||coveteth  an  evil  covetousness  to 
his  house,  that  he  may  ""set  his  nest  on  high,  that  he  may 
be  delivered  from  the  fpower  of  evil! 

10  Thou  hast  consulted  shame  to  thy  house  by  cutting  off 
many  people,  and  hast  sinned  against  thy  soul. 

11  For  the  stone  shall  or}-  out  of  the  wall,  and  the  ||  beam 
out  of  the  timber  shall  ||  answer  it. 

12  ^Woe  to  him  that  buildeth  a  town  with  "-j-blood,  and 
establisheth  a  city  by  iniquity ! 

13  Behold,  is  it  not  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  "that  the  people 
shall  labour  in  the  very  fire,  and  the  people  shall  weary 
themselves  ||for  very  vanity? 

14  For  the  earth  shall  be  filled  ||with  the  "knowledge  of 
the  glory  of  the  Lord,  as  the  waters  cover  the  sea. 

lo  ^Woe  unto  him  that  giveth  his  neighbour  drink,  that 
puttest  thy  "bottle  to  him,  and  makest  him  drunken  also, 
that  thon  mayest  'look  on  their  nakedness ! 

16  Thou  art  filled  [Iwith  shame  for  glory:  'drink  thou 
also,  and  let  thy  foreskin  be  uncovered;  the  cup  of  the 
Lord's  right  hand  shall  be  turned  unto  thee,  and  shameftl 
Sj>ewing  shaU  be  on  thy  glory. 

17  For  the  violence  of  Leb'a-non  shall  cover  thee,  and  the 
spoil  of  beasts,  which  made  them,  afraid,  'because  of  men's 
blood,  and  for  the  violence  of  the  land,  of  the  city,  and  of  all 
that  dwell  therein; 

18  ^"^VTiat  profiteth  thegraven  image  that  the  maker  thereof 
hath  graven  it ;  the  molten  image,  and  a  'teacher  of  lies,  that 
fthe  maker  of  his  work  trusteth  therein,  to  make  "dumb  idols? 

1 9  Woe  unto  him  that  saith  to  the  wood,  Awake ;  to  the  dumb 
stone.  Arise,  it  shall  teach  !  Behold,  it  is  laid  over  with  gold' 
and  silver,  "and  there  is  no  breath  at  all  in  the  midst  of  it. 

20  But  "the  Lord  is  in  his  holy  temple:  t*let  all  the  earth 
keep  silence  before  him. 


14and  makest  men  as  the  fishes  of  the  sea,  as  the 

15 creeping  things,  that  have  no  ruler  over  them?  He 

taketh  up  all  of  them  with  the  angle,  he  catcheth 

them  in  his  net,  and  gathereth  them  in  his  drag: 

16  therefore  he  rejoiceth  and  is  glad.  Therefore  he 
sacrificeth  unto  his  net,  and  burneth  incense  unto 
his    drag;    because    by    them    his    portion    is    fat, 

17  and  his  meat  'plenteous.  Shall  he  therefore  empty 
his  net,  and  not  spare  to  slay  the  nations*  con- 
tinually ? 

«  I  will  stand  upon  my  watch,  and  set  me  upon  the 
Hower,  and  will  look  forth  to  see  what  he  will  speak 
'with  me,  and  what  I  shall  answer  concerning  my 

2  complaint.  And  the  Lord  answered  me,  and  said. 
Write  the  vision,  and  make  it  plain  upon  tables,  that 

3  he  may  run  that  readeth  it.  For  the  vision  is  yet  for 
the  appointed  time,  and  it  ^hasteth  toward  the  end, 
and  shall  not  lie :    though  it  tarry,  wait  for  it :    be- 

4  cause  it  will  surely  come,  it  will  not  delay.  Behold, 
his  soul  is  puifed  up,  it  is  not  'upright  in  him :    but 

5  the  just  shall  live  *by  his  faith.  ^Yea,  moreover,  wine 
is  a  treacherous  dealer,  a  haughty  man,  and  'that 
keepeth  not  at  home;  who  enlargeth  his  desire  as 
'hell,  and  he  is  as  death,  and  cannot  be  satisfied, 
but  gathereth  unto  him  all  nations,  and  heapeth  unto 

6  him  all  peoples.  Shall  not  all  these  take  up  a  parable 
against  him,  and  a  taunting  '"proverb  against  him,  and 
say,  Woe  to  him  that  increaseth  that  which  is  not  his ! 
how  long?  and  that  ladeth    himself  with  pledges! 

7  Shall  they  not  rise  up  suddenly  that  shall  "bite  thee, 
and  awake  that  shall  'Vex  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  for 

8  booties  unto  them  ?  Because  thou  hast  spoiled  many 
nations,  all  the  remnant  of  the  peoples  shall  spoil  thee ; 
because  of  men's  blood,  and  for  the  violence  done 
to  the  land,  to  the  city  and  to  all  that  dwell  therein. 

9  Woe  to  him  that  getteth  an  evil  gain  for  his 
house,  that   he   may  set   his   nest  on  high,  that  he 

10 may  be  delivered  from  the  hand  of  evil!  Thou  hast 
consulted  shame  to  thy  house,  by  cutting  off  many 

11  peoples,  and  hast  sinned  against  thy  soul.  For  the 
stone  shall  cry  out  of  the  wall,  and  the  beam  out  of 
the  timber  shall  answer  it. 

12  Woe  to  him  that  buildeth  a  town  with  blood,  and 

13  stablisheth  a  city  by  iniquity !  Behold,  is  it  not  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts  that  the  peoples  labour  for  the 
fire,  and  the  nations  weary  themselves  for  vanity? 

14  For  the  earth  shall  be  filled  with  the  knowledge  of 
the  glory  of  the  Lord,  as  the  waters  cover  the  sea. 

15  Woe  unto  him  that  giveth  his  neighbour  drink, 
that  'Oddest  thy  '*venom  thereto,  and  makest  him 
drunken  also,  that  thou  mayest  look  on  their  naked- 

16ness!  Thou  art  filled  with  shame  for  glory:  drink 
thou  also,  and  "be  as  one  uncircumcised :  the  cup 
of  the  Lord's  right  hand  shall  be  turned  'unto  thee, 

17  and  foul  shame  shall  be  upon  thy  glory.  For  the 
violence  done  to  Leb'a-non  shall  cover  thee,  and  the 
destruction  of  the  beasts,  ''which  made  them  afraid; 
because  of  men's  blood,  and  for  the  violence  done  to 
the  land,  to  the  city  and  to  all  that  dwell  therein. 

18  What  profiteth  the  graven  image,  that  the  maker 
thereof  hath  graven  it ;  the  molten  image,  and  the 
teacher  of  lies,  that  the  maker  of  '"his  work  trusteth 

19therein,  to  make  dumb  idols?  Woe  unto  him  that 
saith  to  the  wood.  Awake ;  to  the  dumb  stone. 
Arise !  Shall  this  teach  ?  Behold,  it  is  laid  over 
with  gold  and  silver,  and  there  is  no  breath  at  all 

20  in  the  midst  of  it.  But  the  Lord  is  in  his  holy 
temple:    "^let  all  the  earth  keep  silence  before  him.

Haiatiuk's  prayer  ;  he  trenibleth  at  God's  majesty  ;  the  stability  of  his  faith. 

A  PRAYER  of  Ha-bak'kuk  the  prophet  "H  upon  Shi- 
gi'o-noth. 

2  O  Lord,  I  have  heard  fthy  speech  and  was  afraid: 
O  Lord,  ||  'revive  thy  work  in  the  midst  of  the  year.s, 
in  the  midst  of  the  years  make  known ;  in  wrath  re- 
member mercy. 

3  God  came  from  ||  Te'man,  "and  the  Holy  One  from 
mount  Pa'ran.  Selah.  His  glory  covered  the  heavens, 
and  the  earth  was  full  of  his  praise. 

4  And  Ma  brightness  was  as  the  light ;  he  had  ||  horns 
coming  out  of  his  hand :  and  there  was  the  hiding  of  his 
power. 

5  ''Before  him  went  the  pestilence,  and  ||  'burning  coals 
went  forth  at  his  feet. 

6  He  stood,  and  measured  the  earth :  he  beheld,  and 
drove  asunder  the  nations;  -^and  the 'everlasing  mount- 
ains were  scattered,  the  perpetual  hills  did  bow :  his 
ways  are  everlasting. 

7  I  saw  the  tents  of  |I  Cu'shan  ||  in  affliction :  and  the 
curtains  of  the  land  of  Mid'i-an  did  tremble. 

8  Was  the  Lord  displeased  against  the  rivers?  was 
thine  anger  against  the  rivers?  was  thy  wrath  against 
the  sea,  *that  thou  didst   ride   upon  thine    horses,  and 

thj  vihariots  of  salvation? 

9  Thy  bow  was  made  quite  naked,  according  to  the 
oaths  of  the  tribes,  even  thy  word.  Selah.  ||  'Thou 
didst  cleave  the  earth  with  rivers. 

10  ^'The  mountains  saw  thee,  and  they  trembled :  the 
overflowing  of  the  water  passed  by :  the  deep  uttered 
his  voice,  and  'lifted  up  his  hands  on  high. 

11  "The  sun  and  moon  stood  till  in  their  habitation  : 
at  the  light  of  thine  "arrows  they  went,  and  at   the 

shining  of  thy  glittering  spear. 

12  Thou  didst  march  through  the  land  in  indignation, 
"thou  didst  thresh  the  heathen  in  anger. 

13  Thou  wentest  forth  for  the  salvation  of  thy  people, 
even  for  salvation  with  thine  anointed ;  ''thou  woundedst 
the  head  out  of  the  house  of  the  wicked,  f  by  discovering 
the  foundation  unto  the  neck.     Selah. 

14  Thou  didst  strike  through  with  his  staves  the  head 
of  his  villages:  they  fcame  out  as  a  whirlwind  to  scatter 
me :  their  rejoicing  was  as  to  devour  the  poor  secretly. 

15  'Thou  didst  walk  through  the  sea  with  thine  horses, 
through  the  ||  heap  of  great  waters. 

16  When  I  heard,  •'my  belly  trembled;  my  lips 
quivered  at  the  voice :  rottenness  entered  into  my  bones, 
and  I  trembled  in  myself,  that  I  might  rest  in  the  day 
of  trouble :  when  he  eometh  up  unto  the  people,  he  will 

invade  them  with  his  troops. 

17  ^Although  the  fig  tree  shall  not  blossom,  neitlier 
shall  fruit  be  in  the  vines;  the  labour  of  the  olive  shall 
ffail,  and  the  fields  shall  yield  no  meat ;  the  flock  shall 
be  cut  off  from  the  fold,  and  there  shall  be  no  herd  in 
the  stalls : 

18  'Yet  I  will  'rejoice  in  the  Lord,  I  will  joy  in  the 
God  of  my  salvation. 

19  The  Lord  God  is  "my  strength,  and  he  will  make 
my  feet  like  'hind.s'  feet,  and  he  will  make  me  to  "walk

A  prayer  of  Ha-bak'kuk  the  prophet,  set  to  Shi-gi'o-noth. 
O  Lord,  I  have  heard  'the  report  of  thee,  and  ^am  afraid : 

0  Lord,  revive  thy  work  in  the  midst  of  the  years. 
In  the  midst  of  the  years  make  it  known ; 

In  wrath  remember  mercy. 

God  'came  from  Te'man, 

And  the  Holy  One  from  mount  Pa'ran.  [Selah 

His  glory  covered  the  heavens, 

And  the  earth  was  full  of  his  praise. 

And  his  brightness  was  as  the  light; 

He  had  *rays  corning  forth  'from  his  handi 

And  there  was  the  hiding  of  his  power. 

Before  him  went  the  pestilence. 

And  *fiery  bolts  went  forth  at  his  feet. 

He  stood,  and  'measured  the  earth ; 

He  beheld,  and  drove  asunder  the  nations: 

And  the  eternal  mountains  were  scattered. 

The  everlasting  hills  did  bow ; 

'His  goings  were  as  of  old. 

1  saw  the  tents  of  Cu'shan  in  affliction : 

The  curtains  of  the  land  of  Mid'i-an  did  tremble. 

Was  the  Lord  di.spleased  against  the  rivers? 

Was  thine  anger  against  the  rivers. 

Or  thy  wrath  against  the  sea. 

That  thou  didst  ride  upon  thine  horses, 

Upon  thy  chariots  of  salvation? 

Thy  bow  was  made  quite  bare; 

'The  oaths  to  the  tribes  were  a  sure  word.  [Belah 

Thou  didst  cleave  the  earth  with  rivers. 

The  mountains  saw  thee,  and  '"were  afraid; 

The  tempest  of  waters  passed  by: 

The  deep  uttered  his  voice, 

And  lifted  up  his  hands  on  high. 

The  sun  and  moon  stood  still  in  their  habitation ; 

At  the  light  of  thine  arrows  as  they  went. 

At  the  shining  of  thy  glittering  spear. 

Thou  didst  march  through  the  land  in  indignation, 

Thou  didst  thresh  the  nations  in  anger. 

Thou  "wentest  forth  for  the  salvation  of  thy  people, 

'Tor  the  salvation  of  thine  anointed; 

''Thou  '*woundedst  the  head  out  of  the   house  of  the 

wicked. 
Laying  bare  the  foundation  even  unto  the  neck.  [Selah 
Thou  ''didst  pierce  with  his  own  staves  the  head  of  his 

"■'warriors : 
They  came  as  a  whirlwind  to  scatter  me : 
Their  rejoicing  was  as  to  devour  the  poor  secretly. 
Thou  "didst  tread  the  sea  with  thine  horses. 
The  "heap  of  mighty  waters. 

I  beard,  and  my  belly  trembled. 

My  lips  quivered  at  the  voice; 

Rottenness  entered  into  my  bones,  and  I  trembled  in 

my  place: 
That  I  should  rest  ''in  the  day  of  trouble,     . 
^"When  it  eometh  up  against  the  people  "which  inyadeth 

him  in  troops. 
For  though  the  fig  tree  shall  not  blossom. 
Neither  shall  fruit  be  in  the  vines; 
The  labour  of  the  olive  shall  fail. 
And  the  fields  shall  yield  no  meat; 
The  flock  shall  be  cut  off  from  the  fold, 
And  there  shall  be  no  herd  in  the  stalls: 
Yet  I  will  rejoice  in  the  Lord, 
I  Avill  joy  in  the  God  of  my  salvation. 
Jehovah,  the  Lord,  is  my  strength, 
And  he  maketh  my  feet  like  hinds' /ed.

ZEPHANIAH. 


CHAPTER    I. 

IVhen  Zephaniah  prophesied  ;  God's  severe  judgment  against  Judah. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  which  came  unto  Zeph-a-ni'ah, 
the  son  of  Cu'shi,  the  son  of  Ged-a-li'ah>  thesonof  Ara- 
a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Hiz-ki'ah,  in  the  days  of  Jo-si'ah  the  son 
of  A'mon,  king  of  Ju'dah. 

2  tl  will  utterly  consume  all  things  from  off  fthe  land, 
saith  the  Lord. 

3  "I  will  consume  man  and  beast;  I  will  consume  the 
fowls  of  the  heaven,  and   the  fishes  of  the  sea,  and  'the 

stumblingblocks  with  the  wicked ;  and  I  will  cut  off  man 
from  off  the  land,  saith  the  Lord. 

4  I  will  also  stretch  out  mine  hand  upon  Ju'dah  and  upon 
all  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  "I  will  cut  off  the 
remnant  of  Ba'al  from  this  place,  and  the  name  of  ''the 
Chem'a-rim  with  the  priests; 

5  And  them  that  worship  the  host  of  heaven  upon  the 
housetops;  ■'^and  them  that  worship  and  "that  swear  ||  by  the 
Lord,  and  that  swear  'by  Mal'cham ; 

6  And  'them  that  are  turned  back  from  the  Lord;  and 
those  that  'have  not  sought  the  liORD,  nor  inquired  for  him. 

7  'Hold  thy  peace  at  the  presence  of  the  Lord  God  :  "for 
the  day  of  the  Lord  is  at  hand :  for  "the  Lord  hath  pre- 
pared a  sacrifice,  he  hath  fbid  his  guests. 

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the  day  of  the  Lord's 
sacrifice,  that  I  will  fpunish  the  princes,  and  the 
king's  children,  and  all  such  as  are  clothed  with  strange 
apparel. 

9  In  the  same  day  also  will  I  punish  all  those  that  leap 
on  the  threshold,  which  fill  their  masters'  houses  with 
violence  and  deceit. 

10  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord, 
that  there  shall  be  the  noise  of  a  cry  from  "the  fish  gate, 
and  a  howling  from  the  second,  and  a  great  crashing  from 
the  hills. 

11  'Howl,  ye  inhabitants  of  Mak'tesh,  for  all  the  mer- 
chant people  are  cut  down;  all  they  that  bear  silver  are 
cut  off. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at  that  time,  that  I  will 
search  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  candles,  an''  •  lish  the  men  that 
are  fsettled  on  their  lees:  that  say  m  their  heart,  The 
Lord  will  not  do  good,  neither  will  he  do  evil. 

13  Therefore,  their  goods  shall  become  a  booty  and  their 
houses  a  desolation :  they  shall  also  build  houses,  but  'not 
inhabit  them;  and  they  shall  plant  vineyards,  but  "not 
drink  the  wine  thereof. 

14  'The  great  day  of  the  Lord  is  near,  it  is  near,  and 
hasteth  greatly,  even  the  voice  of  the  day  of  the  Lord  :  the 
mighty  man  shall  cry  there  bitterly. 

15  "That  day  is  a  day  of  wrath,  a  day  of  trouble  and  dis- 
tress, a  day  of  wasteness  and  desolation,  a  day  of  darkness 
and  gloominess,  a  day  of  clouds  and  thick  darkness, 

16  A  day  of  "the  trumpet  and  alarm  against  the  fenced 
cities,  and  against  the  high  towers. 

17  And  I  will  bring  distress  upon  men,  that  they  shall 
"walk  like  blind  men,  because  they  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord  :  and  'their  blood  shall  be  poured  out  as  dust,  and 
their  flesh  ''as  the  dung. 

18  ''Neither  their  silver  nor  their  gold  shall  be  able  to 
deliver  them  in  the  day  of  the  Lord's  wrath:  but  the  whole 
land  shall  be  'devoured  by  the  fire  of  his  jealousy :  for  ■'he 
shall  make  even  a  speedy  riddance  of  all  them  that  dwell 
in  the  land. 


ZEPHANIAH.

days  of  Jo-si'ah  the  son  of  A'mon,  king  of  Ju'dah. 

2  I  will  utterly  consume  all  things  from  off  the  face 

3  of  the  ground,  saith  the  Lord,  I  will  consume  man 
and  beast ;  I  will  consume  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,

5 the  'Chem'a-rim  with  the  priests;  and  them  that 
worship  the  host  of  heaven  upon  the  housetops; 
and  them  that  worship,  which  swear  to  the  Lord 

6  and  swear  by  ^Mal'cam ;  and  them  that  are  turned 
back  from  following  the  Lord  ;  and  those  that  have 
not  sought  the  Lord,  nor  inquired  after  him. 

7  Hold  thy  peace  at  the  presence  of  the  Lord  God  : 
for  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  at  hand :  for  the  Lord 
hath    prepared  a   sacrifice,   he   hath  ^sanctified   his 

8  guests.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord's  sacrifice,  that  I  will  ^punish  the  princes,  and 
the  king's  sons,  and  all   such  as  are  clothed  with 

9  foreign  apparel.  And  in  that  day  I  will  *punish  all 
those  that  leap  over  the  threshold,  which  fill  their 

10  master's  house  with  violence  and  deceit.  And  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  there  shall  be  the  noise 
of  a  cry  from  the  fish  gate,  and  an  howling  from 
the  'second  quarter,  and  a  great  crashing  from  the 

11  hills.  Howl,  ye  inhabitants  of 'Mak'tesh,  for  all  ^the 
people  of  Ca'naan  are  undone :  all    they  that  were 

12  laden  with  silver  are  cut  off.  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  at  that  time,  that  I  will  search  Je-ru'sa-lem  with 
'candles;  and  I  will  ^punish  the  men  that  are 
'settled  on  their  lees,  that  say  in  their  heart.  The 

13  Lord  will  not  do  good,  neither  will  he  do  evil.  And 
their  wealth  shall  become  a  spoil,  and  their  houses 
a  desolation :  yea,  they  shall  build  houses,  but  shall 
not  inhabit  them ;  and  they  shall  plant  vineyards, 

14  but  shall  not  drink  the  wine  thereof.  The  great  day 
of  the  Lord  is  near,  it  is  near  and  hasteth  greatly,  [ 
even  the  voice  of  the  day  of  the  Lord;  the  mighty 

15  man  crieth  there  bitterly.  That  day  is  a  day  of  wrath, 
a  day  of  trouble  and  distress,  a  day  of  wasteness  and 
desolation,  a  day  of  darkness  and  gloominass,  a  day 

16  of  clouds  and  thick  darkness,  a  day  of  the  trumpet 
and  alarm,  against  the  fenced  cities,  and  against  the 

17  high  '"battlements.  And  I  will  bring  distress  upon 
men,  that  they  shall  walk  like  blind  men,  because 
they  have  sinned  against  the  Lord  :  and  their  blood 
shall  be  poured  out  as  dust,  and  their  flesh  as  dung. 

18  Neither  their  silver  nor  their  gold  shall  be  able  to 
deliver  them  in  the  day  of  the  Lord's  wrath;  but 
the  whole  land  shall  be  devoured  by  the  fire  of  his 
jealousy :  for  he  shall  make  an  end,  yea,  a  "terrible 
end,  of  all  them  that  dwell  in  the  land.

CHAPXER   II. 

Tht  Judgment  of  the  Philistines,  Moab  and  Amman,  Ethiopia  and  Assyria. 

GATHER  "yourselves  together,  yea>  gather  together,  O 
nation  ||not  desired; 

2  Before  the  decree  bring  forth,  before  the  day  pass  'as  the 
chaff,  before  "the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  come  upon  you, 
before  the  day  of  the  Lord's  anger  come  upon  you. 

3  ''Seek  ye  the  Lord,  'all  ye  meek  of  the  earth,  which  have 
wrought  his  judgment;  seek  righteousness,  seek  meekness: 
-'^it  may  be  ye  shall  be  hid  in  the  day  of  the  Lord's  anger. 

4  TIFor  "Ga'za  shall  be  forsaken,  and  A.sh'ke-lon  a  desola- 
tion: they  shall  drive  out  Ash'dod  ''at  the  noonday,^  and 
Ek'ron  shall  be  rooted  up. 

5  Woe  unto  the  inhabitants  of  'the  sea  coast,  the  nation 
of  the  Cher'eth-ites!  the  word  of  the  Lord  is  against  you; 

0  'Ca'naan,  the  land  of  the  Phi-Hs'tines,  I  will  even  destroy 
thee,  that  there  shall  be  no  inhabitant. 

6  And  the  sea  coast  shall  be  dwellings  and  cottages  for 
shepherds,  'and  folds  for  flocks. 

7  And  the  coast  shall  be  for  "the  remnant  of  the  house  of 
Ju'dah ;  they  shall  feed  thereupon :  in  the  houses  of  Ash'- 
ke-lon  shall  they  lie  down  in  the  evening:  ||for  the  Lord 
their  God  shall  "visit  them,  and  "turn  away  their  captivity. 

8  ^"I  have  heard  the  reproach  of  Mo'ab,  and  'the  reviliugs 
of  the  children  of  Am'mon,  whereby  they  have  reproached 
my  people,  and  ''magnified  themselves  against  their  border. 

9  Therefore,  as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Surely  'Mo'ab  shall  be  as  Sod'om,  and  'the  children 
of  Am'mon  as  Go-mor'rah,  "even  the  breeding  of  nettles  and 
saltpits,  and  a  perpetual  desolation:  ""the  residue  of  my 
people  shall  spoil  them,  and  the  remnant  of  my  people  shall 
possess  them. 

10  This  shall  they  have  "for  their  pride,  because  they  have 
reproached  and  magnified  themselves  against  the  people  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

11  The  Lord  tvill  be  terrible  unto  them :  for  he  will  ffamish 
all  the  gods  of  the  earth ;  "and  men  shall  worship  him,  every 
one  from  his  place,  even  all  "the  isles  of  the  heathen. 

12  ^''Ye  E-thi-o'pi-ans  also,  ye  shall  be  slain  by  "my  sword. 

13  And  he  will  stretch  out  his  hand  against  the  north 
and  ''destroy  As-syr'i-a;  and  will  make  Nin'e-veh  a  desola- 
tion, and  dry  like  a  wilderness. 

14  ^nd  "flocks  shall  lie  down  in  the  midst  of  her,  all  Ahe 
beasts  of  the  nations:  both  the  || "cormorant  and  the  bittern 
shall  lodge  in  the  || upper  lintels  of  it;  their  voice  shall  sing 
in  the  windows;  desolation  shall  be  in  the  thresholds:  ||for 
he  shall  uncover  the  ''cedar  work. 

15  This  is  the  rejoicing  city  'that  dwelt  carelessly,  *that 
said  in  her  heart,  I  am,  and  there  is  none  besides  me:  how 
is  she  become  a  desolation,  a  place  for  beasts  to  lie  down  in ! 
every  one  that  passeth  by  her  'shall  hiss,  and  ""wag  his  hand. 

CHAPTER   III, 

Reproof  of  Jerusalem  for  sins  ;  exhortation  to  wait  for  the  restoration  of  Israel. 

WOE  to  llfher  that  is  filthy  and  polluted,  to  the  oppress- 
ing city! 

2  She  "obeyed  not  the  voice;  she  'received  not  ||  correction; 
she  trusted  not  in  the  Lord  ;  she  drew  not  near  to  her  God. 

3  "Her  princes  within  her  are  roaring  lions ;  her  judges 
are  ''evening  wolves;  they  gnaw  not  the  bones  till  the  morrow. 

4  Her  'prophets  are  light  and  treacherous  persons :  her 
priests  have  polluted  the  sanctuary,  they  have  done  •''violence 
to  the  law. 

5  'The  just  Lord  is  in  the  midst  thereof;  he  will  not  do 
iniquity :  fevery  morning  doth  he  bring  his  judgment  to 
light,  he  faileth  not;  but  ''the  unjust  knoweth  no  shame. 

6  I  have  cut  off  the  nations:  their  || towers  are  desolate; 

1  made  their  streets  waste,  that  none  passeth  by :  their 
cities  are  destroyed,  so  that  there  is  no  man,  that  there  is 
none  inhabitant. 


^      Gather  yourselves  together,  yea,  gather  together, 

2  0  nation  that  hath  no  •shame;  before  the  decree 
bring  forth,  before  the  day  pass  as  the  chaff,  before 
the  fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  come  upon  you,  before 

3  the  day  of  the  Lord's  anger  come  upon  you.  Seek 
ye  the  Lord,  all  ye  meek  of  the  earth,  which  have 
wrought  his  judgement;  seek  righteousness,  seek 
meekness:  it  may  be  ye  shall  be  hid  in  the  day   of 

4  the  Lord's  anger.  For  Ga'za  shall  be  forsaken,  and 
Agh'ke-lon  a  desolation:  they  shall  drive  out  Ash'dod 
at   the   noonday,   and   Ek'ron   shall   be   rooted   up. 

5  Woe  unto  the  inhabitants  of  ^the  sea  coast,  the 
nation  of  the  Cher'eth-ites !  The  word  of  the  Lord 
is  against  you,0  Ca'naan,the  land  of  the  Phi-lis'tines; 
I  will  destroy  thee,  that  there  shall  be  no  inhabitant. 

6  And  the  sea  coast  shall  be  pastures,  with  'cottages 

7  for  shepherds  and  folds  for  flocks.  And  the  coast 
shall  be  for  the  remnant  of  the  house  of  Ju'dah ; 
they  shall  feed  their  flocks  thereupon:  in  the  houses 
of  Ash'ke-lon  shall  they  11.^  down  in  the  evening ;  for 
the   Lord   their  God  shall  visit  them,  and   bring 

8  again  their  captivity.  I  have  heard  the  reproach  of 
Mo'ab,  and  the  reviliugs  of  the  children  of  Am'mon, 
wherewith   they   have   reproached   my    people,   and 

9  magnified  themselves  against  their  border.  There- 
fore as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of 
Is'ra-el,  Surely  Mo'ab  shall  be  as  Sod'om,  and  the 
children  of  Am'mon  as  Go-mor'rah,  a  possession  of 
'nettle,  and  saltpits,  and  a  perpetual  desolation: 
the  residue  of  my  people  shall   spoil  them,  and  the 

10  remnant  of  my  nation  shall  inherit  them.  This  shall 
they  have  for  their  pride,  because  they  have  re- 
proached   and    magnified    themselves    against    the 

11  people  of  the  Lord  of  hosts.  The  Lord  will  be 
terrible  unto  them :  for  he  will  famish  all  the  gods 
of  the  earth ;  and  men  shall  worship  him,  every 
one  from  his  place,  even  all  the  ^isles  of  the  nations. 

12  Ye  E-thi-o'pi-ang  also,  ye  shall  be  slain  by  my  sword. 

13  And  he  will  stretch  out  his  hand  against  the  north, 
and  destroy  As-syr'i-a;  and  will  make  Xin'e-veh  a 

14  desolation,  and  dry  like  the  wilderness.  And  herds 
shall  lie  down  in  the  midst  of  her,  "all  the  beasts  of 
the  nations:  both  the  pelican  and  the  porcupine 
shall  lodge  in  the  chapiters  thereof:  their  voice 
shall  sing  in  the  windows;  'desolation  shall  be  in 
the   thresholds:    for    he   hath    laid    bare    the   cedar 

15  work.  This  is  the  joyous  city  that  dwelt  carelessly, 
that  said  in  her  heart,  I  am,  and  there  is  none  else 
beside  me:  how  is  she  become  a  desolation,  a  place 
for  beasts  to  lie  down  in!  every  one  that  passeth 
by  her  shall  hiss,  and  wag  his  hand. 

O     Woe  to  her  that  is  rebellious  and  polluted,  to  the 

2  oppressing  city !  She  obeyed  not  the  voice ;  she 
received    not   ^correction ;    she   trusted    not   in    the 

3  Lord  ;  she  drew  not  near  to  her  God.  Her  princet 
in  the  midst  of  her  are  roaring  lions;  her  judges 
are    evening  wolves;  they  '"leave    nothing   till  the 

4  morrow.  Her  prophets  are  light  and  treacherous 
persons :  her  priests  have  profaned  the  sanctuary, 

5  they  have  done  violence  to  the  law.  The  Lord  in 
the  midst  of  her  is  righteous;  he  will  not  do 
iniquity;  "every  morning  doth  he  bring  his  judge- 
ment to  light,  he  faileth  not;  but  the  unjust  knoweth 

6  no  shame.  I  have  cut  off  nations,  their  '^battlements 
are  desolate;  I  have  made  their  streets  waste,  that 
none  passeth  by :  their  cities  are  destroyed,  so  that 
there    is   no   man,  that  there   is   none   inhabitant.

7  *I  said,  Surely  thou  wilt  fear  me,  thou  wilt  receive 
instruction ;  so  their  dwelling  should  not  be  cut  off,  howso- 
ever I  punished  them:  but  they  rose  early,  and  'corrupted 
all  their  doings. 

8  ^Therefore  "wait  ye  upon  me,  saith  the  Lord,  until 
the  day  that  I  rise  up  to  the  prey:  for  my  determina- 
tion is  to  "gather  the  nations,  that  I  may  assemble  the 
kingdoms,  to  pour  upon  them  mine  indignation,  even  all 
my  fierce  anger:  for  all  the  earth  "shall  be  devoured  with 
the  fire  of  my  jealousy. 

9  For  then  will  I  turn  to  the  people  "a  pure  flanguage, 
that  they  may  all  call  upon  the  name  of  the  Loed,  to  serve 
him  with  one  fconsent. 

10  "From  beyond  the  rivers  of  E-thi-o'pi-a  my  suppliants, 
even  the  daughter  of  my  dispersed,  shall  bring  mine 
offering. 

11  In  that  day  shalt  thou  not  be  ashamed  for  all  thy 
doings,  wherein  thou  hast  transgressed  against  me :  for 
then  I  will  take  away  out  of  the  midst  of  thee  them  that 
■^rejoice  in  thy  pride,  and  thou  shalt  no  more  be  haughty 
fbecause  of  my  holy  mountain. 

12  I  will  also  leave  in  the  midst  of  thee  'an  afflicted  and 
poor  people,  and  they  shall  trust  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

13  The  remnant  of  Is'ra-el  "shall  not  do  iniquity,  *nor 
speak  lies;  neither  shall  a  deceitful  tongue  be  found  in  their 
mouth :  for  "they  shall  feed  and  lie  down,  and  none  shall 
make  them  afraid. 

14  ^'Sing,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on  ;  shout,  O  Is'ra-el ;  be  glad 
and  rejoice  with  all  the  heart,  O  daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

15  The  Lord  hath  taken  away  thy  judgments,  he  hath 
cast  out  thine  enemy :  "the  King  of  Is'ra-el,  even  the  Lord, 
Hs  in  the  midst  of  thee :  thou  shalt  not  see  evil  any 
more. 

16  In  that  day  "it  shall  be  said  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Fear  thou 
not:  and  to  Zi'on,  ''Let  not  thine  hands  be  || slack. 

17  The  Lord  thy  God  'in  the  midst  of  thee  is  mighty ;  he 
will  save,  ^he  will  rejoice  over  thee  with  joy ;  fhe  will  rest 
in  his  love,  he  will  joy  over  thee  with  singing. 

18  I  will  gather  them  that  'are  sorrowful  for  the  solemn 
assembly,  who  are  of  thee,  to  whom  fthe  reproach  of  it  was 
a  burden. 

19  Behold,  at  that  time  I  will  undo  all  that  afflict  thee : 
and  I  will  save  her  that  ''halteth,  and  gather  her  that  was 
driven  out ;  and  fl  will  get  them  praise  and  fame  in  every 
land  fwhere  they  have  been  put  to  shame. 

20  At  that  time  'will  I  bring  you  again,  even  in  the  time 
that  I  gather  you  :  for  I  will  make  you  a  name  and  a  praise 
among  all  people  of  the  earth,  when  I  turn  back  your  cap- 
tivity before  your  eyes,  saith  the  Lord. 


7  I  said.  Surely  thou  wilt  fear  me,  thou  wilt  rsceive 
'correction ;  so  her  dwelling  should  not  be  cut  off, 
'according  to  all  that  I  have  appointed  concerning 
her:   but   they   rose  early  and  corrupted  all  their 

8  doings.  Therefore  wait  ye  for  me,  saith  the  Lord, 
until  the  day  that  I  rise  up  to  the  prey :  for  my  de- 
termination is  to  gather  the  nations,  that  I  may 
assemble  the  kingdoms,  to  pour  upon  them  mine 
indignation,  even  all  my  fierce  anger;  for  all  the 
earth  shall  be  devoured  with  the  fire  of  my  jealousy. 

9  For  then  will  I  turn  to  the  peoples  a  pure  ''language, 
that  they  may  all  call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord, 

10  to  serve  him  with  one  'consent.  From  beyond  the 
rivers  ofE-thi-o'pi-a  'my  suppliants,  even  the  daughter 

11  of  my  dispersed,  shall  bring  mine  offering.  In  that 
day  shalt  thou  not  be  ashamed  for  all  thy  doings, 
wherein  thou  hast  transgressed  against  me :  for 
then  I  will  take  away  out  of  the  midst  of  thee  "thy 
proudly  exulting  ones,  and  thou  shalt  no  more  be 

12  haughty  in  my  holy  mountain.  But  I  will  leave  in 
the  midst  of  thee  an  afflicted  and  poor  people,  and 

13  they  shall  trust  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.  The 
remnant  of  Is'ra-el  shall  not  do  iniquity,  nor  speak 
lies;  neither  shall  a  deceitful  tongue  be  found  in 
their  mouth :    for  they  shall  feed  and  lie  down,  and 

14  none  shall  make  them  afraid.  Sing,  O  daughter  of 
Zi'op ;  shout,  O  Is'ra-el ;  be  glad  and  rejoice  with  all 

15  the  heart,  O  daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  The  Lord  hath 
taken  away  thy  judgements,  he  hath  cast  out  thine 
enemy:  the  king  of  Is'ra-el,  even  the  Lord,  is  in  the 
midst  of  thee :    thou  shalt   not  *fear  evil  any  more. 

16  In  that  day  it  shall  be  said  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Fear  thou 
17 not:     'O  Zi'on,  let  not  thine  hands  be  slack.     The 

Lord  thy  God  is  in  the  midst  of  thee,  a  mighty  one 
who  will  save:  he  will  rejoice  over  thee  with  joy, 
he  will  '"rest  in  his  love,  he  will  joy  over  thee  with 

18  singing.  "I  will  gather  them  that  "sorrow  for  the 
solemn  assembly,  who  were  of  thee:  "to  ichom  the 

19  burden  upon  '*her  was  a  reproach.  Bekold,  at  that 
time  I  will  deal  with  all  them  that  afflict  thee :  and 
I  will  save  her  that  halteth,  and  gather  her  that  was 
driven  away;    and  I  will  make  them  a  praise  and  a 

20  name,  whose  shame  hath  been  in  all  the  earth.  At 
that  time  will  I  bring  you  in,  and  at  that  time  Avill 
I  gather  you:  for  I  will  make  you  a  name  and  a 
praise  among  all  the  peoples  of  the  earth,  when  I 
bring  again  your  captivity  before  your  eyes,  saith 
the  Lord.

CHAPTER   I. 

Haggai  reproving  ike  people* s  negligence,  inciieth  them  to  bvild  the  house. 

IN  "the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us  the  king,  in  the  sixth 
month,  in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  came  the  word  of 
the  Lord  fby  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet  unto  'Ze-rub'ba-bel  the 
son  of  She-al'ti-el,  || governor  of  Ju'dah,  and  to  "Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  ''Jos'e-dech,  the"  high  priest,  saying, 

2  Thus  speaiceth  the  Lord  of  hosts,  saying.  This  people 
say,  The  time  is  not  come,  the  time  that  the  Lord's  house 
should  be  built. 

3  Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  'by  Hag'ga-i  the 
prophet,  saying, 

4  ^Is  it  time  for  you,  O  ye,  to  dwell  in  your  ceiled  houses, 
and  this  house  lie  waste? 

5  Now  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  fConsider 
your  ways. 

6  Ye  have  'sown  much,  and  bring  in  little;  ye  eat,  but  ye 
have  not  enough ;  ye  drink,  but  ye  are  not  filled  with  drink ; 
ye  clothe  you,  but  there  is  none  warm ;  and  'be  that  earneth 
wages,  earneth  wages  to  put  it  into  a  bag  fwith  holes. 

7  *^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  Consider  your  ways. 

8  Go  up  to  the  mountain,  and  bring  wood,  and  build  the 
house ;  and  I  will  take  pleasure  in  it,  and  I  will  be  glorified, 
saith  the  Lord. 

9  *Ye  looked  for  much,  and,  lo,  it  came  to  little ;  and  when 
ye  brought  it  home,  'I  did  l|blow  upon  it.  Why?  saith 
tile  Lord  of  hosts.  Because  of  mine  house  that  is  waste, 
and  ye  run  every  man  unto  his  own  house. 

10  Therefore  ""the  heaven  over  you  is  stayed  from  dew, 
and  the  earth  is  stayed  from  her  fruit. 

11  And  I  "called  for  a  drought  upon  the  land,  and  upon 
the  mountains,  and  upon  the  corn,  and  upon  the  new  wine, 
and  upon  the  oil,  and  upon  that  which  the  ground  bringeth 
forth,  and  upon  men,  and  upon  cattle,  and  "upon  all  the 
labour  of  the  hands. 

12  ^''Then  Ze-rub'ba-bel  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  and  Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  Jo.s'e-dech,  the  high  priest,  with  all  the  remnant 
of  the  people,  obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord  their  God, 
and  the  words  of  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet,  as  the  Lord  their 
God  had  sent  him,  and  the  people  did  fear  before  the  Lord. 

13  Then  spake  Hag'ga-i  the  Lord's  messenger  in  the  Lord's 
message  unto  the  people,  saying,'!  am  with  you,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  And  ''the  Lord  stirred  up  the  spirit  of  Ze-rub'ba-bel 
the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  'governor  of  Ju'dah,  and  the  spirit 
of  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Jos'e-dech,  the  high  priest,  and  the 
spirit  of  all  the  remnant  of  the  people ;  'and  they  came  and 
did  work  in  the  hou.se  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  their  God, 

15  In  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the  sixth  month,  in 
the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us  the  king. 

CHAPTER   II. 

Haggai  encourageth  the  people  to  the  work. 

IN  the  seventh  month,  in  the  one  and  twentieth  day  of 
the  month,  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  fby  the  prophet 
Hag'^a-i,  saying, 

2  Speak  now  to  Ze-rub'b*-bel  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  gov- 
ernor of  Ju'dah,  and  to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Jos'e-dech  the 
high  priest,  and  to  the  residue  of  the  people,  saying, 

3  "AVho  is  left  among  you  that  saw  this  house  in  her  first 
glory?  and  how  do  ye  see  it  now?  'is  it  not  in  your  eyes 
in  comparison  of  it  as  nothing? 

4  Yet  now  "be  strong,  O  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  saith  the  Lord  ; 
and  be  strong,  O  Josh'u-a,  son  of  Jos'e-dech  the  high  priest; 
and  be  strong,  all  ye  people  of  the  land,  saith  the  Lord,  and 
work :  for  I  am  with  you,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 


HAGGAI. 


1  In  the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us  the  king,  in  the 
sixth  month,  in  the  first  day  of  the  month,  came  the 
word  of  the  Lord  by  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet  unto  Ze- 
rub'ba-bel  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  governor  of  Ju'dah, 
and  to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Je-hoz'a-dak,  the  high  priest, 

2  saying.  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts,  saying, 
This  people  say,  'It  is  not  the  time  for  us  to  come, 

3  the  time  for  the  Lord's  house  to  be  built.  Then 
came  the  word  of  the  I>ORD  by  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet, 

4  saying.  Is  it  a  time  for  you  yourselves  to  dwell  in 
your  cieled   houses,   while  this  house   lieth  waste? 

5 Now  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  ^Con- 

6  sider  your  ways.  Ye  have  sown  much,  and  bring  in 
little ;  ye  eat,  but  ye  have  not  enough ;  ye  drink,  but 
ye  are  not  filled  with  drink  ;  ye  clothe  you,  but  there 
is  none  warm;  and  he  that  earneth  wages  earneth 

7  wages  to  put  it  into  a  bag  with  holes.     Thus  saith  the 

8  Lord  of  hosts :  ^Consider  your  ways.  Go  up  to  the 
^mountain,  and  bring  wood,  and  build  the  house ;  and 
I  will  take  pleasure  in  it,  and  I  will  be  glorified,  saith 

9  the  Lord.  Ye  looked  for  much,  and,  lo,  it  came  to 
little ;  and  when  ye  brought  it  home,  I  did  *blow 
upon  it.  Why  ?  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Because 
of  mine  house  that  lieth  waste,  while  ye  run  every 

10  man  to  bis  own  house.  Therefore  "for  your  sake 
the   heaven    is   stayed  from  dew,  and   the   earth   is 

1 1  stayed  from  her  fruit.  And  I  called  for  a  drought 
upon  the  land,  and  upon  the  mountains,  and  upon 
the  corn,  and  upon  the  wine,  and  upon  the  oil,  and 
upon  that  which  the  ground  bringeth  forth,  and 
upon  men,  and  upon  cattle,  and  upon  all  the  labour 
of  the  hands. 

12  Then  Ze-rub'ba-bel  the  son  ofShe-al'ti-el,  and  Josh'u-a 
the  son  of  Je-hoz'a-dak,  the  high  priest,  with  all  the 
remnant  of  the  people,  obeyed  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  their  God,  and  the  words  of  Hag'ga-i  the 
prophet,  as  the  Lord  their  God  had  sent  him;  and 

1 3  the  people  ,did  fear  before  the  Lord.  Then  spake 
Hag'ga-i  the  Lord's  messenger  in  the  Lord's  mes- 
sage unto  the  people,  saying,  I  am  with  you,  saith 

14  the  Lord.  And  the  Lord  stirred  up  the  spirit  of 
Ze-rub'ba-belthesonof  She-al'ti-el, governor  of  Ju'dah, 
and  the  spirit  of  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Je-hoz'a-dak,  the 
high  priest,  and  the  spirit  of  all  the  remnant  of  the 
people ;  and  they  came  and  did  work  in  the  house 

15  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  their  God,  in  the  four  and 
twentieth  day  of  the  month,  in  the  sixth  month,  in 
the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us  the  king. 

>^  In  the  seventh  month,  in  the  one  and  twentieth 
day  of  the  month,  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  by 

2  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet,  saying.  Speak  now  to  Ze-rub'- 
ba-bel the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  governor  of  Ju'dah,  and 
to  Josh'u-a  the  son  of  Je-hoz'a-dak,  the  high  priest, 

Sand  to  the  remnant  of  the  people,  saying.  Who  is 
left  among  you  that  saw  this  house  in  its  former 
glory?   and  how  do  you   see   it   now?   is  it  not  in 

4  in  your  eyes  as  nothing  ?  Yet  now  be  strong,  O 
Ze-rub'ba-bel,  saith  the  Lord  ;  and  be  strong,0  Josh'u-a, 
son  of  Je-hoz'a-dak,  the  high  priest;  and  be  strong, 
all  ye  people  of  the  land,  saith  the  liORD,  and

when  ye  came  out  of  E'gypt,  so  'my  Spirit  remaineth  among 
you ;  fear  ye  not. 

6  For  thus  saith  the  Lokd  of  hosts;  •'Yet  once,  it  is  a 
little  while,  and  "I  will  shake  the  heavens,  and  the  earth, 
and  the  sea,  and  the  dry  land; 

7  And  I  will  shake  all  nations,  *and  the  De-sire  of  all 
nations  shall  •",ome :  and  I  will  fill  this  house  with  glory, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

8  The  silver  is  mine,  and  the  gold  is  mine,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts. 

9  'The  glory  of  this  latter  house  shall  be  greater  than  of 
the  former,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :  and  in  this  place  will 
I  give  *peace,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

10  %In  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the  ninth  month,  in 
the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us,  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  by 
Hag'ga-i  the  prophet,  saying, 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  'Ask  now  the  priests 
concerning  the  law,  saying, 

12  If  one  bear  holy  flesh  in  the  skirt  of  his  garment,  and 
with  his  skirt  do  touch  bread,  or  pottage,  or  wine,  or  oil,  or  any 
meat,  shall  it  be  holy  ?  And  the  priests  answered  and  said,  No. 

13  Then  said  Hag'ga-i,  If  one  that  is  "unclean  by  a  dead 
body  touch  any  of  these,  shall  it  be  unclean?  And  the 
priests  answered  and  said.  It  shall  be  unclean. 

14  Then  answered  Hag'ga-i,and  said,"So  is  this  people,and  so 
is  this  nation  before  me,  saith  the  Lord  ;  and  so  is  every  work 
of  their  hands;  and  that  which  they  offer  there  is  unclean. 

15  And  now,  I  pray  you,  "consider  from  this  day  and 
upward,  from  before  a  stone  was  laid  upon  a  stone  in  the 
temple  of  the  Lord  : 

16  Since  those  days  were,  "when  one  came  to  a  heap  of 
twenty  measures,  there  were  but  ten :  when  one  came  to  the 
pressfat  for  to  draw  out  fifty  vessels  out  of  the  press,  there 
were  hid  twenty. 

17  «I  smote  you  with  blasting  and  with  mildew  and  with 
hail  'in  all  the  labours  of  your  hands ;  'yet  ye  turned  not  to 
me,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  Consider  now  from  this  day  and  upward,  from  the  four 
and  twentieth  day  of  the  ninth  month,  even  from  'the  day 
that  the  foundation  of  the  Lord's  temple  was  laid,  consider  t7. 

19  "Is  the  seed  yet  in  the  barn?  yea,  as  yet  the  vine,  and 
the  fig  tree,  and  the  pomegranate,  and  the  olive  tree,  hath 
not  brought  forth :  from  this  day  will  I  bless  you. 

20  5iAnd  again  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Hag'ga-i 
in  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the  month,  saying, 

21  Speak  to  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  ""governor  of  Ju'dah,  saying,  "I 
will  shake  the  heavens  and  the  earth ; 

22  And  'I  will  overthrow  the  throne  of  kingdoms,  and  I 
will  destroy  the  strength  of  the  kingdoms  of  the  heathen  ; 
and  °I  will  overthrow  the  chariots,  and  those  that  ride  in 
them ;  and  the  horses  and  their  riders  shall  come  down, 
every  one  by  the  sword  of  his  brother. 

2.3  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  will  I  take  thee, 
O  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  my  servant,  the  son  of  She-al'ti-el,  saith  the 
Lord,  'and  will  make  thee  as  a  signet;  for  "I  have  chosen 
thee,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 


5  ^according  to  the  word  that  I  covenanted  with  you 
when  ye  came  out  of  E'gypt,  and  my  spirit  ''abode 

6  among  you  :  fear  ye  not.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts :  Yet  once,  it  is  a  little  while,  and  I  will 
shake  the  heavens,  and  the  earth,  and  the  sea,  and 

7  the  dry  land ;  and  I  will  shake  all  nations,  and  'the 
desirable  things  of  all  nations  shall  come,  and  I 
will  fill  this  house  M'ith  glory,  saith  the  Lord  of 

8  ho.sts.      The  silver  is  mine,  and  the  gold  is  mine, 

9  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  The  latter  glory  of  this 
house  shall  be  greater  than  the  former,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts :  and  in  tliis  place  will  I  give  peace, 
saith  the  Loud  of  hosts. 

10  In  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the  ninth  month, 
in  the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us,  came  the  word  of  the 

11  Lord  by  Hag'ga-i  the  prophet,  saying.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts  :  Ask  now  the  priests  concerning 

12  the  law,  saying.  If  one  be^ir  holy  flesh  in  the  skirt 
of  his  garment,  and  with  his  skirt  do  touch  bread, 
or  pottage,  or  wine,  or  oil,  or  any  meat,  shall  it  be- 
come   holy?     And    the    priest    answered   and    said, 

13  No.  Then  said  Hag'ga-i,  If  one  that  is  unclean  by  a 
dead  body  touch  any  of  these,  shall  it  be  unclean  ? 
And  the  priests  answered  and  said.  It  shall  be  un- 

14  clean.  Then  answered  Hag'ga-i  and  said.  So  is  this 
people,  and  so  is  this  nation  before  me,  saith  the 
Lord  ;   and  so  is  every  work  of  their  hands ;   and 

15  that  which  they  offer  there  is  unclean.     And  now,  I 

Eray  you,  consider  from  this  day  and  upward,  from 
efore  a  stone  was  laid  upon  a  stone  in  the  temple 

16  of  the  Lord  :  'through  all  that  time,  when  one  came 
to  an  heap  of  twenty  measures,  there  were  but  ten ; 
when  one  came  to  the  winefat  for  to  draw  out  fifty 

17  vessels,  there  were  but  twenty.  I  smote  you  with 
blasting  and  with  mildew  and  with  hail  in  all  the 
work  of  your  hands ;  yet  ye  turned  not  to  me,  saith 

18  the  Lord.  Consider,  I  pray  you,  from  this  day  and 
upward,  from  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the 
ninth  month,  since  the  day  that  the   foundation  of 

19  the  Lord's  temple  was  laid,  consider  it.  Is  the  seed 
yet  in  the  barn  ?  yea,  the  vine,  and  the  fig  tree,  and 
the  pomegranate,  and  the  olive  tree  hath  not 
brought  forth ;  from  this  day  will  I  bless  you. 

20  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  the  second  time 
unto  Hag'ga-i  in  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the 

21  month,  saying.  Speak  to  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  governor  of 
Ju'dah,  saying,  I  will  shake  the   heavens  and  the 

22  earth  :  and  I  will  overthrow  the  throne  of  kingdoms, 
and  I  will  destroy  the  strength  of  the  kingdoms  of 
the  nations ;  and  I  will  overthrow  the  chariots,  and 
those  that  ride  in  them;  and  the  horses  and  their 
riders  shall  come  down,  every  one  by  the  sword  of 

23  his  brother.  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
will  I  take  thee,  O  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  my  servant,  the  son 
of  She-al'ti-el,  saith  the  Lord,  and  will  make  thee  as 
a  signet :  for  I  have  chosen  thee,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts.

ZECHARIAH. 


CHAPTER  I. 

Zechariah  exhorteih  to  repentanct ;  the  vision  of  the  horses, 

IN  the  eighth  month,  "in  the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us,  came 
the  word  of  the  Lord  'unto  Zech-a-ri'ah,  the  son  of  Ber- 
e-chi'ah,  the  son  of  Id'dO)  the  prophet,  saying, 

2  The  Lord  hath  been  fsore  displeased  with  your  fathers. 

3  Therefore  say  thou  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts;  Turn  'ye  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  I 
will  turn  unto  you,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

4  Be  ye  not  as  your  fathers,  ""unto  whom  the  former 
prophets  have  cried,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
'Turn  ye  now  from  your  evil  ways,  and  jrom  your  evil 
doings :  but  they  did  not  hear,  nor  hearken  unto  me,  saith 
the  Lord. 

5  Your  fathers,  where  are  they  ?  and  the  prophets,  do  they 
liv3  for  ever  ? 

6  But  ■'my  words  and  my  statutes,  which  I.  commanded 
my  _ervants  the  prophets,  did  they  not  ||  take  hold  of  your 
fathers?  and  they  returned  and  said,  'Like  as  the  Lord  of 
hosts  thought  to  do  unto  us,  according  to  our  ways,  and 
according  to  our  doings,  so  hath  he  dealt  with  us. 

7  %^Upon  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the  eleventh 
month,  which  is  the  month  Se'bat,  in  the  second  year  of 
Da-ri'us,  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Zech-a-ri'ah,  the 
son  of  Ber-e-chi'ah,  the  son  of  Id'do  the  prophet,  saying, 

8  I  saw  by  night,  and  behold  ''a  man  riding  upon  a  red 
horse,  and  he  stood  among  the  myrtle  trees  that  were  in  the 
bottom;  and  behind  him  were  there  'red  horses,  ||  speckled, 
and  white. 

9  Then  said  I,  O  my  lord,  what  are  these?  And  the 
angel  that  talked  with  me  said  unto  me,  I  will  shew  thee 
what  these  he. 

10  And  the  man  that  stood  among  the  myrtle  trees  an- 
swered and  said,  'These  are  they  whom  the  Lord  hath  sent 
to  walk  to  and  fro  through  the  earth. 

11  'And  they  answered  the  angel  of  the  Lord  that  stood 
among  the  myrtle  trees,  and  said.  We  have  walked  to  and 
fro  through  the  earth,  and,  behold,  all  the  earth  sitteth  still, 
and  is  at  rest. 

12  ^Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord  answered  and  said,  "O 
Lord  of  hosts,  how  long  wilt  thou  not  have  mercy  on 
Je-ru'sa-lem  and  on  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  against  which  thou 
hast  had  indignation  "these  threescore  and  ten  years? 

13  And  the  Lord  answered  the  angel  that  talked  with  me 
with  "good  words  and  comfortable  words. 

14  So  the  angel  that  communed  with  me  said  unto  me.  Cry 
thou,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  I  am  'jealous 
for  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  for  Zi'on  with  a  great  jealousy. 

15  And  I  am  very  sore  displeased  with  the  heathen  that 
are  at  ease:  for  'I  was  but  a  little  displeased,  and  they 
helped  forward  the  affliction. 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord;  ""I  am  returned  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem  with  mercies  :  my  house  shall  be  built  in  it, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  'a  line  shall  be  stretched  forth 
upon  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

17  Cry  yet,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  My  cities 
through  tprosperity  shall  yet  be  spread  abroad;  'and  the 
Lord  shall  yet  comfort  Zi'on, and"shallyetchoose  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18  5[Then  lifted  I  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and  behold  four 
horns. 

19  And  I  said  unto  the  angel  that  talked  with  me.  What 
be  these?  And  he  answered  me,  ''These  are  the  horns  which 
have  scattered  Ju'dah,  Is'ra-el,  and  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

20  And  the  Lord  shewed  me  four  carpenters. 


ZECHARIAH. 


4-  In  the  eighth  month,  in  the  second  year  of  Da-ri'us, 
came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Zech-a-ri'ah  the 
son  of  Ber-e-chi'ah,  the  son  of  Id'do  the  prophet,  say- 

2  ing.  The  Lord  hath  been  sore  displeased  with  your 

3  fathers.  Therefore  say  thou  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts  :  Return  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  and  I  will  return  unto  you,  saith  the  Lord 

4  of  hosts.  Be  ye  not  as  your  fathers,  unto  whom 
the  former  prophets  cried,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts.  Return  ye  now  from  your  evil  ways, 
and  from  your  evil  doings :  but  they  did  not  hear, 

5  nor  hearken  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord.  Your  fathers, 
where  are  they?  and  the  prophets,  do  they  live  for 

6 ever?  But  my  words  and  my  statutes,  which  I 
commanded  my  servants  the  prophets,  did  they  not 
overtake  your  fathers?  and  they  turned  and  said. 
Like  as  the  Ix)RD  of  hosts  thought  to  do  unto  us,  ac 
cording  to  our  ways,  and  according  to  our  doings,  so 
hath  he  dealt  with  us. 

7  Upon  the  four  and  twentieth  day  of  the  eleventh 
month,  which  is  the  month  She'bat,  in  tne  second 
year  of  Da-ri'us,  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto 
Zech-a-ri'ah  the  scnof  Ber-e-chi'ah,  the  son  of  Id'do, 

8  the  prophet,  saying,  I  saw  in  the  night,  and  behold 
a  man  riding  upon  a  red  horse,  and  he  stood  among 
the  myrtle  trees  that  were  in  the  'bottom;  and  behind 

9  him  there  were  horses,  red,  sorrel,  and  white.  Then 
said  I,  O  my  lord,  what  are  these  ?  And  the  nngel 
that  talked  with  me  said  unto  me,  I  will  shew  thee 

10  what  these  be.  And  the  man  that  stood  among  the 
myrtle  trees  answered  and  said.  These  are  they  whom 
the  Lord  hath  sent  to  walk  to  and  fro  through  the 

Hearth.  And  they  answered  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
that  stood  among  the  myrtle  trees,  and  said.  We 
have  walked  to  and  fro  through  the  earth,  and,  behold, 

12  all  the  earth  sitteth  still,  and  is  at  rest.  Then  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  answered  and  said,  O  Lord  of  hosts, 
how  long  wilt  thou  not  have  mercy  on  Je-ru'-sa-lem 
and  on  the  cities  of  Ju'dah,  against  which  thou  hast 
had  indignation   these    threescore    and  ten   years? 

13  And  the  Lord  answered  the  angel  that  talked  with 

14  me  with  good  words,  even  comfortable  words.  So 
the  angel  that  talked  with  me  said  unto  me.  Cry  thou, 
saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :  I  am  jealous 
for  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  for  Zi'on  with  a  great  jealousy. 

15  And  I  am  very  sore  displeased  with  the  nations  that 
are  at  ease :  for  I  was  but  a  little  displeased,  and  they 

16  ^helped  forward  the  affliction.  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  :  I  am  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  mercies; 
my  house  shall  be  built  in  it,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
and  a  line  shall  be  stretched  forth  over  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

17 Cry  yet  again,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts: 
My  cities  'through  prosperity  shall  yet  be  spread 
abroad ;  and  the  Lord  shall  yet  comfort  Zi'on,  and 
shall  yet  choose  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

18  And  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and  behold  four 

19  horns.  And  I  said  unto  the  angel  that  talked  with 
me,  What  be  these  ?  And  he  answered  me.  These  are 
the  horns  which  have  scattered  Ju'dah,  Is'ra-el,  and 

20  Je-ru'sa-lem.     And  the  Lord  shewed  me  four  smiths.

spake,  saying,  These  are  the  horns  which  have  scattered 
Ju'dah,  so  that  no  man  did  lift  up  his  head :  but  these  are 
come  to  fray  them,  to  cast  out  the  horns  of  the  Gentiles, 
which  "lifted  up  their  horn  over  the  land  of  Ju'dah  to 
scatter  it. 

CHAPTER    II. 

An  angel  sent  to  measure  Jerusalem  ;  its  flourishing  state  foretold. 

I  LIFTED  up  mine  eyes  again,  and  looked,  and  behold 
"a  man  with  a  measuring  line  in  his  hand. 

2  Then  said  I,  Whither  goest  thou?  And  he  said  unto 
me,  ''To  measure  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to  see  what  is  the  breadth 
thereof,  and  what  is  the  length  thereof. 

3  And,  behold,  the  angel  that  talked  with  me  went  forth, 
and  another  angel  went  out  to  meet  him, 

4  And  said  unto  him.  Run,  speak  to  this  young  man, 
saying,  "Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  be  inhabited  as  towns  without 
walls  for  the  multitude  of  men  and  cattle  therein : 

5  For  I,  saith  the  Lord,  will  be  unto  her  ''a  wall  of  fire 
round  about,  'and  will  be  the  glory  in  the  midst  of  her. 

6  ^Ho,  ho,  come  forth,  and  flee  •'^from  the  land  of  the  north, 
saith  the  Lord  :  for  I  have  "spread  you  abroad  as  the  four 
winds  of  the  heaven,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  *Deliver  thyself,  O  Zi'on,  that  dwellest  wiih  the  daugh- 
ter of  Bab'y-lon. 

8  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  After  the  glory  hath 
he  sent  me  unto  the  nations  which  spoiled  you :  for  he  that 
'toucheth  you,  toucheth  the  apple  of  his  eye. 

9  For,  behold,  I  will  *shake  my  hand  upon  them,  and  they 
shall  be  a  spoil  to  their  servants :  and  ye  shall  know  that 
the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me. 

10  ^"'Sing  and.  rejoice,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on:  for,  lo,  I 
coiiie,  and  I  "will  dwell  in  the  midst  of  thee,  saith  the 
Lord. 

11  "And  many  nations  shall  be  joined  to  the  Lord  "in 
that  day,  and  shall  be  'my  people :  and  I  will  dwell  in  the 
midst  of  thee,  and  'thou  shalt  know  that  the  Lord  of  hosts 
hath  sent  me  unto  thee. 

12  And  the  Lord  shall  'inherit  Ju'dah  his  portion  in  the 
holy  land,  and  'shall  choose  Je-rn'sa-lem  again. 

13  "Be  silent,  O  all  flesh,  before  the  Lord:  for  he  is 
raised  up  "out  of  fhis  holy  habitation. 

CHAPTER  III. 

Under  the  type  of  Joshua^  the  restoration  of  the  church  promised. 

AND  he  shewed  me  "Josh'u-a  the   high   priest  standing 
before  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  and  '11  Sa'tan  standing  at 
his  right  hand  fto  resist  him. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa'tan,  "The  Lord,  rebuke 
thee,  O  Sa' tan ;  even  the  Lord  that ''hath  chosen  Je-ru'sa-lem 
rebuke  thee :  'is  not  this  a  brand  plucked  out  of  the  fire  ? 

3  Now  Josh'u-a  was  clothed  with  ■''filthy  garments,  and 
stood  before  the  angel. 

4  And  he  answered  and  spake  unto  those  that  stood  be- 
fore him,  saying.  Take  away  the  filthy  garments  from  him. 
And  unto  him  he  said,  Behold,  I  have  caused  thine  iniquity 
to  pass  from  theCj  'and  I  will  clothe  thee  with  change  of 
raiment. 

5  And  I  said,  Letthem  seta  fair ''mitre  upon  his  head.  So 
they  set  a  fair  mitre  upon  his  head,  and  clothed  him  with 
garments.     And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  stood  by. 

6  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  protested  unto  Josh'u-a, 
saying, 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  If  thou  wilt  walk  in  my 
ways,  and  if  thou  wilt  'keep  my  ||  charge,  then  thou  shalt 
also  *judge  my  house,  and  shalt  also  keep  my  courts,  and  I 
will  give  thee  fplaces  to  walk  among  these  that  'stand  by. 

8  Hear  now,  O  Josh'u-a  the  high  priest,  thou  and  thy  fel- 
lows that  sit  before  thee :  for  they  are  ""fmen  wondered  at : 
for,  behold,  I  will  bring  forth  "^my  servant  the  "BRANCH. 


21  Then  said  I,  What  come  these  to  do?  And  he 
spake,  saying.  These  are  the  horns  which  scattered 
Ju'dah,  so  that  no  man  did  lift  up  his  head:  but 
these  are  come  to  fray  them,  to  cast  down  the 
horns  of  the  nations,  which  lifted  up  their  horn 
against  the  land  of  Ju'dah  to  scatter  it. 

^      And  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and  behold 

2  a  man  with  a  measuring  line  in  his  hand.  Then  said 
I,  Whither  goest  thou?  And  he  said  unto  me.  To 
measure  Je-ru'sa-lem,  to    see   what  is  the  breadth 

3  thereof,  and  what  is  the  length  thereof.  And,  behold, 
the  angel  that  talked  with  me  went  forth,  and  another 

4  angel  went  out  to  meet  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Run,  speak  to  this  young  man,  saying,  Je-ru'sa-lem 
shall  'be  inhabited  as  villages  without  walls,  by 
reason  of  the  multitude  of  men  and  cattle  therein. 

5  For  I,  saith  the  Lord,  will  be  unto  her  a  M'all  of  fire 
round  about,  and  I  will  be  the  glory  in  the  midst  of 

6  her.  Ho,  ho,  flee  from  the  land  of  the  north,  saith 
the  Lord  :  for  I  have  spread  you  abroad  as  the  four 

7  winds  of  the  heaven,  saith  the  Lord.  Ho  Zi'on, 
escape,  thou    that   dwellest    with    the  daughter  of 

8  Bab'y-lon.  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  ^After 
glory  hath  he  sent  me  unto  the  nations  which 
spoiled  you:  for  he  that  toucheth  you  toucheth  the 

9  apple  of  his  eye.  For,  behold,  I  will  shake  mine 
hand  over  them,  and  they  shall  be  a  spoil  to  those 
that  served  them :  and  ye  shall  know  that  the  Lord 

10  of  hosts  hath  sent  me.  Sing  and  rejoice,  O  daughter 
of  Zi'on:   for,'lo,  I  come,  and  I  will  dwell  in  the 

11  midst  of  thee,  saith  the  Lord.  And  many  nations 
shall  join  themselves  to  the  Lord  in  that  day,  and 
shall  be  my  people  :  and  I  will  dwell  in  the  midst  of 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  know  that  the  Lord  of  hosts 

12  hath  sent  me  unto  thee.  And  the  Lord  shall  inherit 
Ju'dah  as  his  portion  in  the  holy  land,  and  shall  yet 

13  choose  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Be  silent,  all  flesh,  befdre  the 
Lord:  for  he  is  waked  up  out  of  his  holy  habi- 
tation. 

O  And  he  shewed  me  Josh' ua  the  high  priest  standing 
before  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  and  ^Sa'tan  standing  at 

2  his  right  hand  to  be  his  adversary.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Sa'tan,  The  Lord  rebuke  thee,  O  Sa'tan ; 
yea,  the  Lord  that  hath  chosen  Je-ru'sa-lem  rebuke 
thee:    is  not  this  a  brand  plucked  out  of   the  fire? 

3  Now  Josh'u-a  was  clothed  with  filthy  garments,  and 

4  stood  before  the  angel.  And  he  answered  and  spake 
unto  those  that  stood  before  him,  saying.  Take  the 
filthy  garments  from  off'  him.  And  unto  him  he 
said.  Behold,  I  have  caused  thine  iniquity  to  pass 
from  thee,  and  I  will  clothe  thee  with  rich  apparel. 

5  And  ■*!  said.  Let  them  set  a  fair  'mitre  upon  his 
head.  So  they  set  a  fair  '^mitre  upon  his  head,  and 
clothed  him  with  garments ;   and  the  angel  of  the 

6  Lord  stood  by.     And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  pro- 

7  tested  unto  Josh'u-a,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts :  If  thou  wilt  walk  in  my  ways,  and 
if  thou  wilt  keep  my  charge,  then  thou  also  shalt 
judge  my  house,  and  shalt  also  keep  my  courts, 
and    I    will    give    thee  'a    place   of  access   among 

8  these  that  stand  by:  Hear  now,  O  Josh'u-a  the 
high  priest,  thou  and  thy  fellows  that  sit  before 
thee ;  for  they  are  men  which  are  a  'sign :  for,  be- 
hold, I    will   bring   forth    my   servant  the  ^Branch.

CHAPTER    IV. 

ZerubbabeV s  foundation  ;  its  success  foreshewed  by  the  golden  candlestick. 

AND  "the   angel   that  talked  with   me  came  again,  and 
waked  me,  ''as  a  man  that  is  wakened  out  of  his  sleep, 

2  And  said  unto  me.  What  seest  thou  ?  And  I  said,  I  have 
looked,  and  behold  "a  candlestick  all  0/  gold,  fwith  a  bowl 
upon  the  top  of  it, ''and  his  seven  lamps  thereon,  and  1|  seven 
pipes  to  the  seven  lamps,  M'hich  are  upon  the  top  thereof: 

3  "And  two  olive  trees  by  it,  one  upon  the  right  side  of 
the  bowl,  and  the  other  upon  the  left  side  thereof. 

4  So  I  answered  and  spake  to  the  angel  that  talked  with 
me,  saying,  What  are  these,  my  lord? 

5  Then  the  angel  that  talked  with  me  answered  and  said 
unto  me,  Knowest  thou  not  what  these  be?  And  I  said, 
No,  my  lord. 

6  Then  he  answered  and  spake  unto  me  saying.  This  is  the 
word  of  the  Lord  unto  Ze-rub'ba-bel,saying,-^Not  by  ||  might, 
nor  by  power,  but  by  my  Spirit,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

7  Who  art  thou,  "O  great  mountain?  before  Ze-rub'ba-bel 
thou  shall  become  a  plain  :  and  he  shall  bring  forth  ""the  head- 
stone thereof  'vnth  shoutings,  crying,  Grace,  grace,  unto  it. 

8  Moreover  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

9  The  hands  of  Ze-rub'ba-bel  *have  laid  the  foundation  of 
this  house;  his  hands  'shall  also  finish  it;  and  "'thou  shalt 
know  that  the  "Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me  unto  you. 

10  For  who  hath  despised  the  day  of  "small  things?  ||for 
they  shall  rejoice,  and  shall  see  the  tplummet  in  the  hand 
of  Ze-rub'ba-bel  with  those  seven  ;  ''they  are  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord,  which  run  to  and  fro  through  the  whole  earth. 

11  ^Then  answered  I,  and  said  unto  him,  What  are  these 
'two  olive  trees  upon  the  right  side  of  the  candlestick  and 
upon  the  left  side  thereof? 

12  And  I  answered  again,  and  said  unto  him.  What  be 
these  two  olive  branches  which  fthrough  the  two  golden 
pipes  II empty  fthe  golden  oil  out  of  themselves? 

13  And  he  answered  me  and  said,  Knowest  thou  not  what 
these  be?     And  I  said.  No,  my  lord. 

14  Then  said  he,  'These  are  the  two  fanointed  ones,  'that 
stand  by  'the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth. 

CHAPTER  V. 

By  thejtying  roll,  is  shewed  the  curse  of  thieves  and  of  false  swearers. 

THEiN  I  turned  and  lifted  up  mine  3yes,  and  looked,  and 
behold  a  flying  "roll. 

2  And  he  said  unto  me.  What  seest  thou  ?  And  I  an- 
swered, I  see  a  flying  roll ;  the  length  thereof  is  twenty 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof  ten  cubits. 

3  Then  .said  he  unto  me,  This  is  the  ''curse  that  goeth 
forth  over  the  face  of  the  whole  earth:  for  ||  every  one  that 
stealeth  shall  be  cut  ofl'  as  on  this  side  according  to  it; 
and  every  one  that  sweareth  shall  be  cut  off  as  on  that  side 
according  to  it. 

4  I  will  bring  it  forth,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  it 
shall  enter  into  the  house  of  the  thief,  and  into  the  house 
of  "him  that  sweareth  falsely  by  my  name :  and  it  shall  re- 
main in  the  midst  of  his  house,  and  ''shall  consume  it  with 
the  timber  thereof  and  the  stones  thereof. 

5  ^Then  the  angel  that  talked  with  me  went  forth,  and 
said  unto  me.  Lift  up  now  thine  eyes,  and  see  what  is  this 
that  goeth  forth. 

6  And  I  said.  What  is  it?  And  he  said.  This  is  an  ephah 
that  goeth  forth.     He  said  moreover.  This  is  their  resem- 

Iblance  through  all  the  earth. 


9  For  behold,  the  stone  that  I  have  set  before  Josh'u-a ; 
upon  one  stone  are  seven  eyes :  behold  I  will  engrave 
the  graving  thereof,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  I 

10  will  remove  the  iniquity  of  that  land  in  one  day. 
In  that  day  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  shall  ye  call 
every  man  his  neighbour  under  the  vine  and  under 
the  fig  tree. 

^  And  the  angel  that  talked  with  me  came  again^ 
and  waked  me,  as  a  man  that  is  wakened  out  of  his 
2 sleep.  And  he  said  unto  me.  What  seest  thou? 
And  I  said,  I  have  seen,  and  behold,  a  candlestick 
all  of  gold,  with  its  bowl  upon  the  top  of  it,  and  its 
seven  lamps  thereon ;  'there  are  seven  pipes  to  each 

3  of  the  lamps,  which  are  upon  the  top  thereof:  and 
two  olive  trees  by  it,  one  upon  the  right  side  of  the 

4  bowl,  and  the  other  upon  the  left  side  thereof.  And 
I  answered  and  spake  to  the  angel  that  talked  with 

5 me,  saying,  What  are  these,  my  lord?  Then  the 
angel  that  talked  with  me  answered  and  said  unto 
me,  Knowest  thou  not  what  these  be?    And  I  said, 

6  No,  my  lord.  Then  he  answered  and  spake  unto 
m€,  saying,  This  is  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Ze- 
rub'ba-bel,  saying,  Not  by  ^might,  nor  by  power,  but 

7  by  my  spirit,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Who  art  thou, 
O  great  mountain  ?  before  Ze-rub'ba-bel  thou  shalt  be- 
come a  plain :  and  he  shall  bring  forth  the  headstone 

8  with  shoutings  of  Grace,  grace,  unto  it.       Moreover 

9  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying,  The 
hands  of  Ze-rub'ba-bel  have  laid  the  foundation  of 
this  house;  his  hands  shall  also  finish  it;  and  thou 
shalt  know  that  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me  unto 

lOyou.  For  who  hath  despised  the  day  of  small  things? 
for  they  shall  rejoice,  and  shall  see  the  plummet  in  the 
hand  of  Ze-rub'ba-bel,  even  these  seven,  wAicA  are  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord  ;  they  run  two  and  fro  through  the 

1 1  whole  earth.  Then  answered  I,  and  said  unto  him, 
What  are  these  two  olive  trees  upon  the  right  side 
of  the  candlestick  and  upon   the  left  side  thereof? 

12  And  I  answered  the  second  time,  and  said  unto  him, 
What  be  these  two  olive  branches,  'which  are  beside 
the  two  golden  spouts,  that  empty  Hhe  golden  oil  out 

13  of  themselves?  And  he  answered  me  and  said, 
Knowest  thou  not  what  these  be  ?     And  I  said.  No, 

14  my  lord.  Then  said  he.  These  are  the  two  sons  of 
oil,  that  stand  by  the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth. 

O      Then  again  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and 

2  behold,  a  flying  roll.  And  he  said  unto  me.  What 
seest  thou?  And  I  answered,  I  see  a  flying  roll; 
the  length  thereof  is  twenty  cubits,  and  the  breadth 

3  thereof  ten  cubits.  Then  said  he  unto  me.  This  is  the 
curse  that  goeth  forth  over  the  face  of  the  whole 
land:  for  every  one  that  stealeth  shall  be  purged 
out  'on  the  one  side  according  to  it ;  and  every  one 
that  sweareth  shall  be  purged  out  °on  the  other  side 

4  according  to  it.  I  will  cause  it  to  go  forth,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  it  shall  enter  into  the  house  of 
the  thief,  and  into  the  house  of  him  that  sweareth 
falsely  by  my  name :  and  it  shall  abide  in  the  midst 
of  his  house,  and  shall  consume  it  with  the  timber 
thereof  and  the  stones  thereof. 

5  Then  the  angel  that  talked  with  me  went  forth,  and 
said  unto  me.  Lift  up  now  thine  eyes,  and  see  what  is 

6  this  that  goeth  forth.  And  I  said.  What  is  it  ?  And 
he  said.  This  is  the  ephah  that  goeth  forth.  He  said 
moreover,  This  is  their  ^resemblance  in  all  the  land:

7  And,  behold,  there  was  lifted  up  a  i|  talent  of  lead  :  and 
this  is  a  woman  that  sitteth  in  the  midst  of  the  ephah. 

8  And  he  said,  This  is  wickedness.  And  he  cast  it  into 
the  midst  of  the  ephah ;  and  he  cast  the  weight  of  lead  upon 
the  mouth  thereof. 

9  Then  lifted  I  up  mine  eyes,  and  looked,  and,  behold, 
there  came  out  two  women,  and  the  wind  was  in  their 
wings ;  for  they  had  wings  like  the  wings  of  a  stork ;  and 
they -lifted  up  the  ephah  between  the  earth  and  the  heaven. 

10  Then  said  I  to  the  angel  that  talked  with  me.  Whither 
do  these  bear  the  ephah  ? 

1 1  And  he  said  unto  me.  To  "build  it  an  house  in  -^the 
land  of  Shi'nar ;  and  it  shall  be  established,  and  set  there 
upon  her  own  base. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

The  vision  of  the  four  chariots  ;  the  temple  and  kingdom  of  Christ. 

AND  I  turned,  and  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  looked,  and, 
behold,  there  came  four  chariots  out  from  between  two 
mountains ;  and  the  mountains  were  mountains  of  brass. 

2  In  the  first  chariot  were  "red  horsey ;  and  in  the  second 
chariot  ''black  horses; 

3  And  in  the  third  chariot  "white  horses ;  and  in  the  fourth 
chariot  grizzled  and  1|  bay  horses. 

4  Then  I  answered  ''and  said  unto  the  angel  that  talked 
with  me.  What  art  these,  my  lord? 

5  And  the  angel  answered  and  said  unto  me,  'These  are 
the  four  ||  spirits  of  the  heavens,  which  go  forth  from 
■^standing  before  the  Lord  of  all  the  earth. 

6  The  black  horses  which  are  therein  go  forth  into  "the 
north  country ;  and  the  white  go  forth  after  them ;  and  the 
grizzled  go  forth  toward  the  south  country. 

7  And  the  bay  went  forth,  and  sought  to  go  that  they 
might  'walk  to  and  fro  through  the  earth :  and  he  said,  Get 
ye  hence,  walk  to  and  fro  through  the  earth.  So  they 
walked  to  and  fro  through  the  earth. 

8  Then  cried  he  upon  me,  and  spake  unto  me  saying. 
Behold,  these  that  go  toward  the  north  country  have  quieted 
my  'spirit  in  the  north  country. 

9  TJAnd  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

10  Take  of  ihem.  of  the  captivity,  even  of  Hel'da-i,  of  To-bi'- 
jah,  and  of  Je-da'iah,  which  are  come  from  Bab'y-lon,  and 
come  thou  the  same  day,  and  go  into  the  house  of  Jo-si'ah 
the  son  of  Zeph-a-ni'ah  : 

11  Then  take  silver  and  gold,  and  make  *crowns,  and  set 
them  upon  the  head  of  Josn'u-a  the  son  of  Jos'e-dech,  the 
high  priest ; 

12  And  speak  unto  him,  saying.  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  saying.  Behold  'the  man  whose  name  is  The 
"BRANCH;  and  he  shall  Hgrow  up  out  of  his  place,  "and 
he  shall  build  the  temple  of  the  Lord  : 

13  Even  he  shall  build  the  temple  of  the  Lord  ;  and  he 
"shall  bear  the  glory,  and  shall  sit  and  rule  upon  his  throne : 
and  "he  shall  be  a  priest  upon  his  throne :  and  the  counsel 
of  peace  shall  be  between  them  both. 

14  And  the  crowns  shall  be  to  He'lem,  and  to  To-bi'jah, 
and  to  Je-da'iah,  and  to  Hen  the  son  of  Zeph-a-ni'ah,  "for  a 
memorial  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord. 

15  And  'they  that  are  far  off  shall  come  and  build  in  the 
temple  of  the  Lord  ;  and  'ye  shall  know  that  the  Lord  of 
hosts  hath  sent  me  unto  you.  And  this  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  ye  will  diligently  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

The  captives  inquire  of  fasting  ;  Zechariah  reproveth  them. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fourth  year  of  king  Da-ri'us, 
that  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Zech-a-ri'ah  in 
the  fourth  day  of  the  ninth  month,  even  in  Chis'leu ; 

2  When  they  had  sent  unto  the  house  of  God,  She-re'zer 
and  Re-gem-me'lech,  and  their  men,  fto  pray  before  the 
Lord, 


7  (and  behold,  there  was  lifted  up  a  'talent  of  lead;) 
and    this  is  a  woman    sitting   in   the   midst  of  the 

8 ephah.  And  he  said.  This  is  Wickedness;  and  he 
cast  her  down  into  the  midst  of  the  ephah :  and  he 
cast   the   weight  of  lead    upon    the   mouth   thereof. 

9  Then  lifted  I  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and  behold, 
there  came  forth  two  women,  and  the  wind  was  in 
their  wings;  now  they  had  wings  like  the  wings  of 
a  stork :  and  they  lifted  up  the  ephah  between  the 

10  earth  and  the  heaven.  Then  said  I  to  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me.  Whither  do  these  bear  the  ephah  ? 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  to  build  her  an  house  in  the 
land  of  Shi'nar :  and  when  it  is  'prepared,  she  shall 
be  set  there  ^in  her  own  place. 

0  And  again  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and 
behold,  there  came  four  chariots  out  from  between 
*two  mountains ;  and  the  mountains  were  mountains 

2  of  brass.     In  /;he  first  chariot  were  red  horses ;  and 

3  in  the  second  chariot  black  horses ;  and  in  the  third 
chariot   white   horses;    and  in    the   fourth    chariot 

4  grisled  'bay  horses.  Then  I  answered  and  said  unto 
the  angel  that  talked  with  me.  What  are  these,  my 

5 lord?  And  the  angel  answered  and  said  unto  me. 
These  are  the  four  *winds  of  heaven,  which  go  forth 

6  from  'standing  before  the  Lord  of  all  the  earth.  The, 
chariot  wherein  are  the  black  horses  goeth  forth 
toward  the  north  country ;  and  the  white  went  forth 
after  tjiem;  and  the  grisled  went  forth  toward  the 

7  south  Country.  And  the  *bay  went  forth,  and  sought 
to  go  that  they  might  walk  to  and  fro  through  the 
earth:  and  he  said,  Get  you  hence,  walk  to  and  fro 
through    the    earth.     So   they    walked   to   and    fro 

8  through  the  earth.  Then  cried  he  upon  me,  and 
spake  unto  me,  saying.  Behold,  they  that  go  toward 
the  north  country  have  quieted  my  spirit  in  the  north 
country. 

9  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

10  Take  of  them  of  the  captivity,  even  of  Hel'da-i,  of 
To-bi'jah,  and  of  Je-da'iah ;  and  come  thou  the  same 
day,  and  go  into  the  house  of  Jo-si'ah  the  son  of 
Zeph-a-ni'ah,  whither  they  are  come  from  Bab'y-lon  ; 

11  yea,  take  of  them  silver  and  gold,  and  make  'crowns, 
and  set  them  upon  the  head  of  Josh'u-a  the  son  of 

12  Je-hoz'a-dak,the  high  priest ;  andspeak  unto  him,say- 
ing.  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  o/hosts,  saying.  Behold, 
the  man  '"whose  name  is  the  "Branch ;  and  he  shall 
''grow  up  out  of  his  place,  and  he  shall  build  the 

13 temple  of  the  Lord:  even  he  shall  build  the  temple 
of  the  Lord  ;  and  he  shall  bear  the  glory,  and  shall 
sit  and  rule  upon  his  throne:  and  '*he  shall  be  a 
priest    upon    his   throne ;  and   the   counsel  of  peace 

14  shall  be  between  them  both.  And  the  '^crowns  shall 
be  to  He'lem,and  to  To-bi'jah, and  toJe-da'iah,and"'to 
Hen  the  son  of  Zeph-a-ni'ah,  for  a   memorial  in  the 

15  temple  of  the  Lord.  And  they  that  are  far  off  shall 
come  and  build  in  the  temple  of  the  Lord,  and  ye 
shall  know  that  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me 
unto  you.  And  this  shall  come  to  pass,  if  ye  will 
diligently  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord  your  God. 

♦  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  fourth  year  of  king  Da-ri'us,

3  And  to  "speak  unto  the  priests  which  were  in  the  house 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  to  the  prophets,  saying.  Should 
I  weep  in  'the  fifth  month,  separating  myself,  as  I  have 
done  these  so  many  years? 

4  ^Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  unto  me, 
saying, 

5  Speak  unto  all  the  people  of  the  land,  and  to  the  priests, 
saying,  When  ye  "fasted  and  mourned  in  the  fifth  ''and 
seventh  month,  'even  those  seventy  years,  did  ye  at  all  fast 
•'^unto  me,  even  to  me? 

6  And  when  ye  did  eat,  and  when  ye  did  drink,  ||  did  not 
ye  eat /or  yourselves,  and  drink /or  yourselves? 

7  ]|  Should  ye  not  hear  the  words  which  the  Lord  hath 
cried  fby  the  former  prophets,  when  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  in- 
habited and  in  prosperity,  and  the  cities  thereof  round  about 
her,  when  men  inhabited  "the  south  and  the  plain? 

8  ^And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Zech-a-ri'ah, 
saying, 

9  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts,  saying,  ''fExecute 
true  judgment,  and  shew  mercy  and  compassions  every  man 
to  his  brother: 

10  And  'oppress  not  the  widow,  nor  the  fatherless,  the 
stranger,  nor  the  poor;  'and  let  none  of  you  imagine  evil 
against  his  brother  in  your  heart. 

11  But  they  refused  to  hearken,  and  'f pulled  away  the 
shoulder,  and  fstopped  their  ears  that  they  should  not  hear. 

12  Yea,  they  made  their  "hearts  as  an  adamant  stone, 
"lest  they  should  hear  the  law,  and  the  words  which  the 
Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  in  his  Spirit  fby  the  former 
prophets :  "therefore  came  a  great  wrath  from  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

13  Therefore  it  is  come  to  pass,  that  as  he  cried,  and  they 
would  not  hear:  so  'they  cried,  and  I  would  not  hear,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts : 

14  But  'I  scattered  them  with  a  whirlwind  among  all  the 
nations  'whom  they  knew  not.  Thus  'the  land  was  desolate 
after  them,  that  no  man  passed  through  nor  returned:  for 
they  laid  "the  fpleasant  land  desolate.

saying.

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  "I  was  jealous  for  Zi'on 
with  great  jealousy,  and  I  was  jealous  for  her  with  great 
fury. 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  ''I  am  returned  unto  Zi'on,  and 
"will  dwell  in  the  midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  Je-ru'sa-lem ''shall 
be  called,  A  city  of  truth ;  and  'the  mountain  of  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  •'The  holy  mountain. 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  "There  shall  yet  old 
men  and  old  women  dwell  in  the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
every  man  with  his  staff  in  his  hand  ffor  very  age. 

5  And  the  streets  of  the  city  shall  be  full  of  boys  and  girls 
playing  in  the  streets  thereof. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  If  it  be  ||  marvellous  in 
the  eyes  of  the  remnant  of  this  people  in  these  days,  ''should 
it  also  be  marvellous  in  mine  eyes?  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  Behold,  'I  will  save  my 
people  from  the  ea.st  country,  and  from  fthe  west   country ; 

8  And  I  will  bring  them,  and  they  shall  dwell  in  the  midst 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem  :  ''and  they  shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be 
their  God,  'in  truth  and  in  righteousness. 

9  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  ""Let  your  hands  be 
strong,  ye  that  hear  in  these  days  these  words  by  the  mouth 
of  "the  prophets,  which  were  in  "the  day  that  the  foundation 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  was  laid,  that  thS  temple 
might  be  built. 

10  For  before  these  days  ||  there  was  no  "hire  for  man, 
nor  any  hire  for  beast ;  'neither  wa«  there  any  peace  to  him 


Zand  to  speak  unto  the  priests  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  to  the  prophets,  saying.  Should 
I  weep  in  the  fifth  month,  separating  myself,  as  I 

4 have  done  these  so  many  years?    Then  came  the 

5  word  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  unto  me,  saying.  Speak 
unto  all  the  people  of  the  land,  and  to  the  priests, 
saying.  When  ye  fasted  and  mourned  in  the  fifth 
and  in  the  seventh  month,  even  these  seventy  years, 

6  did  ye  at  all  fast  unto  me,  even  to  me  ?  And  when 
ye  eat,  and  when  ye  drink,  'do  not  ye  eat  for  your- 

7  selves,  and  drink  for  yourselves  ?  Should  ye  not 
hear  the  words  which  the  Lord  hath  cried  by 
the  former  prophets,  when  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  inhab- 
ited and  in  prosperity,  and  the  cities  thereof  round 
about  her,  and  the  South  and  the  lowland  were 
inhabited  ? 

8  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  Zech-a-ri'ah, 

9  saying.  Thus  hath  the  Lord  of  hosts  spoken,  say- 
ing. Execute  true  judgement,   and  shew  mercy  and 

10 compassion  every  man  to  his  brother:  and  oppress 
not  the  widow,  nor  the  fatherless,  the  stranger,  nor 
the  poor;  and  let  none  of  you  imagine  evil  against 

11  his  brother  in  your  heart.  But  they  refused  to 
hearken,  and  ^pulled  away  the  shoulder,  and  'stopped 

12  their  ears,  that  they  should  not  hear.  Yea,  they 
made  their  hearts  as  an  adamant  stone,  lest  they 
should  hear  the  law,  and  the  words  which  the  Lord 
of  hosts  had  sent  by  his  spirit  by  the  hand  of  the 
former  prophets:    therefore  came  there  great  wrath 

13  from  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And  it  came  to  pass  that, 
as  he  cried,  and  they  M'ould  not  hear;  so  they  shall 
cry,  and  I  will  not  hear,  said  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 

14  but  I  will  scatter  them  with  a  whirlwind  among  all 
the  nations  whom  they  have  not  known.  Thus  the 
land  was  desolate  after  them,  that  no  man  passed 
through  nor  returned:  for  they  laid  the  ^pleasant 
land  desolate. 

O  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  came  to  m£, 
2 saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  I  am  jealous 
for  Zi'on  with  great  jealousy,  and  I  am  jealous  for 
3 her  with  great  fury.  Thus  saith  the  Lord:  I  am 
returned  unto  Zi'on,  and  will  dwell  in  the  midst  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  be  called  The  city 
of  truth ;   and  the  mountain   of  the  Lord  of  hosts 

4  The  holy  mountain.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts: 
There  shall  yet  old  men  and  old  women  'dwell  in 
the  streets  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  every  man  with  his  staff  in 

5  his  hand  ^for  very  age.  And  the  streets  of  the  city 
shall  be  full  of  boys  and  girls  playing  in  the  streets 

6 thereof.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  If  it  be 
marvellous  in  the  eyes  of  the  remnant  of  this  peo- 
ple in  those  days,  should  it  also  be  marvellous  in 

7  mine  eyes  ?  .saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts:  Behold,  I  will  save  my  people 
from  the  east  country,  and  from  the  west  country  : 

Sand  I  will  bring  them,  and  they  shall  dwell  in  the 
midst  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  they  shall  be  my  people, 
and  I  will  be  their  God,  in  truth  and  in  righteous- 

9ness.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  Let  your 
hands  be  strong,  ye  that  hear  in  these  days  these 
words  from  the  mouth  of  the  prophets,  which 
were  in  the  day  that  the  foundation  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  was  laid,  even  the  temple, 
10  that  it  might  be  built.  For  before  those  days 
there  was  no  hire  for  man,  nor  any  hire  for 
beast;    neither     was    there     any    peace     to     him

that  went  out  or  came  in  because  of  the  affliction :  for  I 
set  all  men  every  one  against  his  neighbour. 

11  But  now  I  will  not  he  unto  the  residue  of  this  people 
as  in  the  former  days,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

12  'For  the  seed  shall  6e  prosperous ;  the  vine  shall  give 
her  fruit,  and  'the  ground  shall  give  her  increase,  and  'the 
heavens  shall  give  their  dew ;  and  I  will  cause  the  remnant 
of  this  people  to  possess  all  these  things. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  as  ye  were  "a  curse 
among  the  heathen,  O  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  house  of  Is'ra-el ; 
so  will  I  save  you,  and  ''ye  shall  be  a  blessing :  fear  not, 
but  "let  your  hands  be  strong. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  'As  I  thought  to 
punish  you,  when  your  fathers  provoked  me  to  wrath,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  "and  I  repented  not : 

15  So  again  have  I  thought  in  these  days  to  do  well  unto 
Je-ru'sa-lem  and  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah :  fear  ye  not. 

16  %^These  are  the  things  that  ye  shall  do;  ''Speak  ye 
every  man  the  truth  to  his  neighbour;  fexecute  the  judg- 
ment of  truth  and  peace  in  your  gates : 

17  "And  let  none  of  you  imagine  evil  in  your  hearts 
against  his  neighbour ;  and  ''love  no  false  oath :  for  all  these 
are  things  that  I  hate,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  ^And  the  word  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  came  unto  me, 
saying, 

19  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  'The  fast  of  the  fourth 
month,  ■'and  the  fast  of  the  fifth,  "and  the  fast  of  the  seventh, 
'and  the  fast  of  the  tenth,  shall  be  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah 
joy  and  gladness,  and  cheerful  |1  feasts;  ^therefore  love  the 
truth  and  peace. 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  It  shall  yet  come'  to  pass, 
thatthere  shall  come  people,  and  the  inhabitants  of  many  cities: 

21  And  the  inhabitants  of  one  city  shall  go  to  another, 
saying,  'Let  us  go  Hfspeedily  fto  pray  before  the  Lord, 
and  to  seek  the  Lord  of  hosts :  I  will  go  also. 

22  Yea,  "many  people  and  strong  nations  shall  come  to 
seek  the  Lord  of  ho^a  in  Je-ra'sa-lem,  and  to  pray  before 
the  Lord. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  In  those  days  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  ten  men  shall  "take  hold  out  of  all  lan- 
guages of  the  nations,  even  shall  take  hold  of  the  skirt  of 
him  that  is  a  Jew,  saying,  We  will  go  with  you:  for  we 
have  heard  "that  God  is  with  you. 

CHAPTER    IX, 

j7fV>»  is  exhorted  to  rejoice  for  the  coming  of  Christ. 

rpHE  "burden  of  the  word  of  the  Lord  in  the  land  of 
X  Ha'drach,  and  ""Da-mas'cus  shall  be  the  rest  thereof:  when 
"the  eyes  of  man,  as  of  all  the  tribes  of  Is'ra-el,  shall  be 
toward  the  Lord. 

2  And  ''Ha'math  also  shall  border  thereby ;  'Ty'rus  and 
•''Zi'don,  though  it  be  very  "wise. 

3  And  Ty'rus  did  build  herself  a  strong  hold,  and  'heaped 
up  silver  as  the  dust,  and  fine  gold  as  the  mire  of  the  streets. 

4  Behold,  'the  Lord  will  cast  her  out,  and  he  will  smite 
*her  power  in  the  sea ;  and  she  shall  be  devoured  with  fire. 

5  'A.sh'ke-lon  shall  see  it,  and  fear ;  Ga'za  also  shall  see  it, 
and  be  very  sorrowful,  and  Ek'ron;  for  her  expectation 
shall  be  a.shamed ;  and  the  king  shall  perish  from  Ga'za> 
and  Ash'ke-lon  shall  not  be  inhabited. 

6  And  a  bastard  shall  dwell  "in  Ash'dod,  and  I  will  cut  off 
the  pride  of  the  Phi-lis'tines. 

7  And  I  will  take  away  his  fblood  out  of  his  mouth,  and 
his  abominations  from  between  his  teeth :  but  he  that  re- 
maineth,  even  he,  shall  be  for  our  God,  and  he  shall  be  as 
a  governor  in  Ju'dah,  and  Ek'ron  as  a  Jeb'u-site. 

8  And  "I  will  encamp  about  mine  house  because  of  the 
army,  lx»cause  of  him  that  passeth  by,  and  because  of  him 
that  returneth  :  and  °no  oppressor  shall  pass  through  them 
any  more  ;  for  now  "have  I  seen  with  mine  eyes. 


that  went  out  or  came  in  because  of  the  adversary : 
for  I  set  all  men  every  one  against  his  neighbour. 

11  But  now  I  will  not  be  unto  the  remnant  of  this  people 

12  as  in  the  former  days,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  For 
there  shall  be  the  seed  of  peace ;  the  vine  shall  give 
her  fruit,  and  the  ground  shall  give  her  increase, 
and  the  heavens-  shall  give  their  dew;  and  I  will 
cause  the  remnant  of  this  people  to  inherit  all  these 

13  things.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  that,  as  ye  were 
a  curse  among  the  nations,  O  house  of  Ju'dah  and 
house  of  Is'ra-el,  so  will'  I  save  you,  and  ye  shall  be 
a  blessing :    fear  not,  but  let  your  hands  be  strong. 

14 For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  As  I  thought  to 
do  evil  unto  you,  when  your  fathers  provoked  me 
to  wrath,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  I  repented 

15  not ;  so  again  have  I  thought  in  these  days  to  do 
good  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah : 

16  fear  ye  not.  These  are  the  things  that  ye  shall  do ; 
Speak  ye  every  man  the  truth  with  his  neighbour ; 
'execute  the  judgement  of  truth  and  peace  in  your 

17  gates:  and  let  none  of  you  imagine  evil  in  your 
hearts  against  his  neighbour;  and  love  no  false 
oath :  for  all  these  are  things  that  I  hate,  saith  the 
Lord. 

18  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  came  unto 
19 me,  saying,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  The  fast 

of  the  fourth  month,  and  the  fast  of  the  fifth,  and 
the  fast  of  the  seventh,  and  the  fast  of  the  tenth, 
shall  be  to  the  house  of  Ju'dah  joy  and  gladness 
and  cheerful  feasts;   therefore  love  truth  and  peace. 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :  It  shall  yet  come  to 
pass,  that  there  shall  come  peoples,  and  the  inhab- 

21  itants  of  ^many  cities :  and  the  inhabitants  of  one 
city  shall  go  to  another,  saying,  Let  us  go  speedily 
to  intreat  the  favour  of  the  Lord,  and  to  seek  the 

22  Lord  of  hosts :  I  will  go  also.  Yea,  many  peoples 
and  strong  nations  shall  come  to  seek  the  Lord  of 
hosts  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  to  intreat  the  favour  of  the 

23  Lord.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :  In  those 
days  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  ten  men  shall  take 
hold,  out  of  all  the  languages  of  the  nations,  shall 
even  take  hold  of  the  skirt  of  him  that  is  a  Jew, 
saying.  We  will  go  with  you,  for  we  have  heard  that 
God  is  with  you. 

V  The  ^burden  of  the  word  of  the  Lord  upon 
the  land  of  Ha'drach,  and  Da-mas'cus  shall  be  its 
resting  place :    for  'the  eye  of  man  and  of  all  the 

2 tribes  of  Is'ra-el  is  toward  the  Lord:  and  Ha'math 
also    which    bordereth    thereon :    Tyre   and   Zi'don, 

3  '^because  she  is  very  wise.  And  Tyre  did  build  her- 
self a  strong  hold,  and  heaped  up  silver  as  the  dust, 

4  and  fine  gold  as  the  mire  of  the  streets.  Behold, 
the  Lord  will  dispossess  her,  and  he  will  smite  'her 
power  in  the  sea ;   and  she   shall  be  devoured  with 

5  fire.  Ash'ke-lon  shall  see  it,  and  fear;  Ga'za  also,  and 
shall  be  sore  pained ;  and  Ek'ron,  for  her  expectation 
shall   be  ashamed :    and  the  king  shall  perish  from 

6  Ga'za,  and  Ash'ke-lon  shall  not  be  inhabited.  And  'a 
bastard  shall  'dwell  in  Ash'dod,  and  I  will  cut  off 

7  the  pride  of  the  Phi-lis'tines.  And  I  will  take  away 
his  blood  out  of  his  mouth,  and  his  abominations 
from  between  his  teeth ;  and  he  also  shall  be  a  rem- 
nant for  our  God :  and  he  shall  be  as  a  chieftain  in 

8  Ju'dah,  and  Ek'ron  as  a  Jeb'u-site.  And  I  will  encamp 
jfbout  mine  house  'against  the  army,  that  none  pass 
through  or  return :  and  no  '"oppressor  shall  pass 
through  them  any  more :  for  now  have  I  seen  with 
mine  eyes.

9  ^'Rejoice  greatly,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on;  shout,  O  daugh- 
ter of  Je-ru'sa-lem :  behold,  'thy  King  cometh  unto  thee : 
he  is  just,  and  ||  having  salvation;  lowly,  and  riding  upon 
an  ass,  and  upon  a  colt  the  foal  of  an  ass. 

10  And  I  'will  cut  off  the  chariot  from  E'phra-im,  and  the 
horse  from  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  battle  bow  shall  be  cut  off' 
and  he  shall  speak  'peace  unto  the  heathen:  and  his  do- 
minion shall  be  "from  sea  even  to  sea,  and  from  the  river 
even  to  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

11  As  for  thee  also,  ||  by  the  blood  of  thy  covenant  I  have 
sent  forth  thy  "^prisoners  out  of  the  pit  wherein  is  no  water. 

12  ^Turn  you  to  the  strong  hold,  "ye  prisoners  of  hope: 
even  to-day  do  I  declare  that'l  will  render  double  unto -thee; 

18  When  I  have  bent  Ju'dah  for  me,  filled  the  bow  with 
E'phra-im,  and  raised  up  thy  sons,  O  Zi'on,  against  thy  sons, 
O  Greece,  and  made  thee  as  the  sword  of  a  mighty  man. 

14  And  the  Lord  shall  be  seen  over  them,  and  "his  arrow- 
shall  go  forth  as  the  lightning:  and  the  Lord  GoD  shall 
blow  the  trumpet,  and  shall  go  'with  whirlwinds  of  the 
south. 

15  The  Lord  of  hosts  shall  defend  them;  and  they  shall 
devour  and  ||  subdue  with  sling  stones;  and  they  shall  drink, 
and  make  a  noise  as  through  wine;  and  they  || shall  be 
filled  like  bowls,  and  as  "the  corners  of  the  altar. 

16  And  the  Lord  their  God  shall  save  them  in  that  day 
as  the  flock  of  his  people:  for  ''they  shall  be  as  the  stones 
of  a  crown,  'lifted  up  as  an  ensign  upon  his  land. 

17  For  -'^how  great  is  his  goodness,  and  how  great  is  his 
beauty !  'corn  shall  make  the  young  men  ||  cheerful,  and

CHAPTER   X. 

God  is  to  be  sought  unto,  and  not  idols. 

ASK  ye  "of  the  Lord  'rain  ""in  the  time  of  the  latter  rain ; 
so  the  Lord  shall  make  ||  bright  clouds,  and  give  them 
showers  of  rain,  to  every  one  grass  in  the  field. 

2  For  the  ''fidols  have  spoken  vanity,  and  the  diviners 
have  seen  a  lie,  and  have  told  false  dreams;  they  'comfort 
in  vain:  therefore  they  went  their  way  as  a  flock,  they 
II  were  troubled -Hjecause  there  was  no  shepherd. 

3  Mine  anger  was  kindled  against  the  shepherds,  'and  I 
tpunished  the  goats:  for  the  Lord  of  hosts  *hath  visited 
hLs  flock  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  "hath  made  them  as  his 
goodly  horse  in  the  battle. 

4  Out  of  him  came  forth  *the  corner,  out  of  him  'the  nail, 
out  of  him  the  battle  bow,  out  of  him  every  oppressor  to- 
gether. 

5  ^[And  they  shall  be  as  mighty  men,  which  ""tread  down 
their  enemies  in  the  mire  of  the  streets  in  the  battle :  and 
they  shall  fight,  because  the  Lord  is  with  them,  and  ||the 
riders  on  horses  shall  be  confounded. 

6  And  I  will  strengthen  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  I  will 
save  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  and  "I  will  bring  them  again  to 
place  them;  for  I  "have  mercy  upon  them:  and  they  shall 
be  as  though  I  had  not  cast  them  off:  for  I  am  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  "will  hear  them. 

7  And  they  of  E'phra-im  shall  be  lik«  a  mighty  man,  and 
their  'heart  shall  rejoice  as  through  wine :  yea,  their  chil- 
dren shall  see  it,  and  be  glad;  their  heart  shall  rejoice  in 
the  Lord. 

8  I  will  ""hiss  for  them,  and  gather  them;  for  I  have  re- 
deemed them:  'and  they  shall  increase  as  they  have  in- 
creased. 

9  And  'I  will  sow  them  among  the  people :  and  they  shall 
"remember  me  in  far  countries;  and  they  shall  live  with 
their  children,  and  turn  again. 

10  "1  will  bring  the.m  again  also  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 
and  gather  them  out  of  As-syr'i-a;  and  I  will  bring  them 
into  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad  and  Leb'a-non ;  and  "place  shall  not 
be  found  for  them. 


9  Rejoice  greatly,  O  daughter  of  Zi'on;  shout,  O 
daughter  of  Je-ru'sa-lem :  behold,  thy  king  cometh 
unto  thee:  he  is  just,  and  'having  ^salvation;  lowly, 
and  riding  upon  an  ass,  even  upon  a  colt  the  foal 

10  of  an  ass.  And  I  will  cut  off  the  chariot  from 
E'phra-im,  and  the  horse  from  .Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the 
battle  bow  shall  be  cut  off;  and  he  shall  speak 
peace  unto  the  nations:  and  his  dominion  shall  be 
from  sea  to  sea,  and  from  Hhe  River  to  the  ends  of 

11  the  earth.  As  for  thee  also,  because  of  the  blood  of 
thy  covenant  I  have  sent  forth  thy  prisoners  out  of 

12  the  pit  wherein  is  no  water.  *Turn  you  to  the 
strong  hold,  ye  prisoners  of  hope:  even  to-day  do 

131  declare  that  I  will  render  double  unto  the«.  For 
I  have  bent  Ju'dah  for  me,  I  have  filled  the  bow 
with  E'phra-im ;  and  I  will  stir  up  thy  sons,  O  Zi'on, 
against  thy  sons,  O  ''Greece,  and  will  make  thee  as 

14  the  sword  of  a  mighty  man.  And  the  Lord  shall 
be  seen  over  them,  and  his  arrow  shall  go  forth  as 
the  lightning:  and  the  Lord  God  shall  blow  the 
trumpet,  and  shall  go  with  whirlwinds  of  the  south 

15 The  Lord  of  hosts  shall  defend  them;  and  they 
shall  devour,  and  shall  tread  down  the  sling  stones ; 
and  they  shall  drink,  and  make  a  noise  as  through 
wine :  and  they  shall  be  filled  like  bowls,  like  the 

16  corners  of  the  altar.     And  the  Lord  their  God  shall 
save  them  in  that  day  as  the  flock  of  his  people 
for  they  shall  be  as  the  stones  of  a  crown,  'lifted  on 

17  high  over  his  land.  For  how  great  is  ^his  'goodness, 
and  how  great  is  ^his  beauty  I  corn  shall  make  the 
young  men  flourish,  and  new  wine  the  maids. 

4- V  Ask  ye  of  the  Lord  raia  in  the  time  of  the  latter 
rain,  even  of  the  Lord  that  maketh  lightnings;  and 
he  shall  give  them  showers  of  rain,  to  every  one 

2  grass  in  the  field.  For  the  teraphim  have  spoken 
vanity,  and  the  diviners  have  seen  a  lie ;  and  'they 
have  told  fiilse  dreams,  they  comfort  in  vain :  there- 
fore they  go  their  way  like  sheep,  they  are  afflicted, 

3  because  there  is  no  shepherd.  Mine  anger  is  kindled 
against  the  shepherds,  and  I  will  punish  the  he- 
goats:  for  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  visited  his  flock 
the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  shall  make  them  as  his 

4  goodly  horse  in  the  battle.  From  him  shall  come 
forth  the  corner  stone,  from  him  the  nail,  from  him 
the   battle  bow,  from  him  every  '"exactor  together. 

5  And  they  shall  be  as  mighty  men,  treading  down 
their  enemies  in  the  mire  of  the  streets  in  the  battle ; 
and  they  shall  fight,  because  the  Lord  is  with 
them :  and  the  riders  on  horses  shall  be  confounded. 

6  And  I  will  strengthen  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  I 
will  save  the  house  of  Jo'seph,  and  I  will  "bring 
them  again,  for  I  have  mercy  upon  them ;  and  they 
shall  be  as  though  I  had  not  cast  them  off:  for  I 
am  the    Lord   their   God,   and  I  will    hear  them. 

7  And  they  of  E'phra-im  shall  be  like  a  mighty  man, 
and  their  heart  shall  rejoice  as  through  wine:  yea, 
their  children  shall  see  it,  and  rejoice ;  their  heart 

8  shall  be  glad  in  the  Lord.  I  will  hiss  for  them, 
and  gather  them;  for  I  have  redeemed  them:  and 

9  they  shall  increase  as  they  have  increased.  '^And 
I  will  sow  them  among  the  peoples;  and  they 
shall  remember  me  in  far  countries:  and  they 
shall    live   with   their    children,  and    shall   return. 

101  will  bring  them  again  also  out  of  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  and  gather  them  out  of  As-syr'i-a ;  and 
I  will  bring  them  into  the  land  of  Gil'e-ad  and 
Leb'a-non ;  and  place  shall  not  be  found  for  them.

CHARTER    XI. 

By  a  type  is  showed  Christ's  care  of  his  flock. 

OPEN  "thy  doors,  O  Leb'a-non,  that  the  fire  may  devour 
thy  cedars. 

2  Howl,  fir  tree,  for  the  cedar  is  fallen ;  because  the 
II mighty  are  spoiled:  howl,  O  ye  oaks  of  Ba'shan;  'for  jjthe 
forest  of  the  vintage  is  come  down. 

3  *^Thtre  is  a  voice  of  the  howling  of  the  shepherds;  for 
their  glory  is  spoiled:  a  voice  of  the  roaring  of  young 
lions;  for  the  pride  of  Jor'dan  is  spoiled. 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  my  God ;  'Feed  the  flock  of  the 
slaughter ; 

5  Whose  possessors  slay  them,  and  ''hold  themselves  not 
guilty :  and  they  that  sell  them  'say,  Blessed  be  the  Lord  ; 
for  I  am  rich :  and  their  own  shepherds  pity  them  not. 

6  For  I  will  no  more  pity  the  inhabitants  of  the  land, 
saith  the  Lord:  but,  lo,  I  will  fdeliver  the  men  every  one 
into  his  neighbour's  hand,  and  into  the  hand  of  his  king: 
and  they  shall  smite  the  land,  and  out  of  their  hand  I  will 
not  deliver  them. 

7  And  I  will  -^feed  the  flock  of  slaughter,  ||  even  you,  "O 
poor  of  the  flock.  And  I  took  unto  me  two  staves ;  the 
one  I  called  Beauty,  and  the  other  I  called  ||  Bands;  and  I 
fed  the  flock. 

8  Three  shepherds  also  I  cut  ofl'  ''in  one  month ;  and  my 
soul  floathed  them,  and  their  soul  also  abhorred  me. 

9  Then  said  I,  I  will  not  feed  you :  'that  that  dieth,  let  it 
die ;  and  that  that  is  to  be  cut  off,  let  it  be  out  off;  and  let 
the  rest  eat  every  one  the  flesh  fof  another. 

1 0  ^ And  I  took  my  staff,  even  Beauty,  and  cut  it  asunder, 
that  I  might  break  my  covenant  which  I  had  made  with  all 
the  people. 

11  And  it  was  broken  in  that  day:  and  ||  so  *the  poor  of 
the  flock  that  waited  upon  me  knew  that  it  was  the  word  of 
the  Lord. 

12  And  I  said  unto  them,  flf  ye  think  good,  give  me  my 
price ;  and  if  not,  forbear.  So  they  'weighed  for  my  price 
thirty  pieces  of  silver. 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Cast  it  unto  the  "potter : 
a  goodly  price  that  I  was  prized  at  of  them.  And  I  took 
the  thirty  pieces  of  silver,  and  cast  them  to  the  potter  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

14  Then  I  cut  asunder  mine  other  staff,  even  \\  Bands,  that 
I  might  break  the  brotherhood  between  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el. 

15  ^And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  "Take  unto  thee  yet  the 
instruments  of  a  foolish  shepherd. 

16  For,  lo,  I  will  raise  up  a  shepherd  in  the  land,  which 
shall  not  visit  those  that  be  ||cut  off,  neither  shall  seek  the 
young  one,  nor  heal  that  that  is  broken,  nor  ||  feed  that  that 
standeth  still :  but  he  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the  fat,  and  tear 
their  claws  in  pieces. 

1 7  "Woe to  the  |  |idol  shepherd  that  leaveth  the  flock!  the  sword 
shall  be  upon  his  arm,  and  upon  his  right  eye:  his  arm  shall 
be  clean  dried  up,  and  his  rignt  eye  shall  be  utterly  darkened. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

The  victorious  restoring  of  Judah  ;  the  repentance  of  Jerusalem, 

THE  burden  of  the  word  of  the  Lord  for  Is'ra-el,  saith 
the  Lord,  "which  stretcheth  forth  the  heavens,  and  layeth 
the  foundation  of  the  earth,  and  'formeth  the  spirit  of  man 
within  him. 

2  Behold,  I  will  make  Je-ru'sa-lem  "a  cup  of  ||  trembling 
unto  all  the  people  round  about,  ||  when  they  shall  be  in 
the  siege  both  against  Ju'dah  and  against  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


11  And  he  shall  pass  through  the  sea  of  aflliction,  and 
shall  smite  'the  waves  in  the  sea,  and  all  the  depths 
of  the  Nile  shall  dry  up :  and  the  pride  of  As-syr'i-a 
shall  be  brought  down,  and  the  sceptre   of  E'gypt 

12  shall  depart  away.  And  I  will  strengthen  them 
in  the  Lord;  and  they  shall  walk  up  and  down 
in  his  name,  saith  the  Lord. 

iJ-      Open  thy  doors,  O  Leb'a-non,  that  the  fire  may 

2  devour  thy  cedars.     Howl,  O  fir  tree,  for  the  cedar 

is  fallen,  because  the  ^goodly  ones  are  spoiled :  howl, 

0  ye  oaks  of  Ba'shan,  for  the  ^strong  forest  is  come 
■  3  down.     A  voice  of  the  howling  of  the  shepherds ! 

for  their  glory  is  spoiled :  a  voice  of  the  roaring  of 
young  lions !  for  the  pride  of  Jor'dan  is  spoiled. 
4 Thus  said  the  Lord  my  God:  Feed  the  flock  of 
5 slaughter;  whose  ^possessors  slay  them,  and  hold 
themselves  not  guilty;  and  they  that  sell  them  say. 
Blessed  be  the  Lord,  for  I  am  rich :  and  'their  own 

6  shepherds  pity  them  not.  For  I  will  no  more  pity 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land,  saith  the  Lord  :  but,  lo, 

1  will  deliver  the  men  every  one  into  his  neighbour's 
hand,  and  into  the  hand  of  his  king :  and  they  shall 
smite  the  land,  and  out  of  their  hand   I   will  not 

7  deliver  them.  So  I  fed  the  flock  of  slaughter,  verily 
^the  poor  of  the  flock.  And  I  took  unto  me  two 
staves ;    the   one   I   called  "Beauty,  and  the   other 

8 1  called  *Bands ;  and  I  fed  the  flock.  And  I 
cut  off  the  three  shepherds  in  one  month;  for 
my  soul  was  weary   of  them,  and   their  soul  also 

9  loathed  me.  Then  said  I,  I  will  not  feed  you :  that 
that  dieth,  let  it  die ;  and  'that  that  is  to  be  cut  off, 
let  it  be  cut  off;    and  let  them  which  are  left  eat 

10  every  one  the  flesh  of  another.  And  I  took  my 
staff  Beauty,  and  cut  it  asunder,  that  I  might  break 
my  covenant  which  I  had  made  with  all  the  peoples. 

11  And  it  was  broken  in  that  day:  and  "'thus  ''the 
poor  of  the  flock  that  gave  heed   unto  me   knew 

12  that  it  was  the  word  of  the  Lord.  And  I  said  unto 
them,  If  ye  think  good,  give  me  my  hire ;  and  if 
not,  forbear.     So  they  weighed  for   my  hire  thirty 

12, pieces  of  silver.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Cast 
it  "unto  the  potter,  the  goodly  price  that  I  was 
prised  at  of  them.  And  I  took  the  thirty  pieces  of 
silver,  and  cast  them  "unto  the  potter,  in  the  house 

14  of  the  Lord.  Then  I  cut  asunder  mine  other  staff, 
even  Bands,  that  I  might  break  the  brotherhood 
between  Ju'dah  and  Is'ra-el. 

15  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Take  unto  thee  yet 

16  again  the  instruments  of  a  foolish  shepherd.  For, 
lo,  I  will  raise  up  a  shepherd  in  the  land,  which 
shall  not  "  visit  those  that  be  "cut  off,  neither  shall 
seek  "those  that  be  scattered,  nor  heal  that  that  is 
broken ;  neither  shall  he  feed  that  which  "is  sound, 
but  he  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the  fat,  and  shall  tear 

17  their  hoofs  in  pieces.  Woe  to  the  worthless  shep- 
herd that  leaveth  the  flock !  the  sword  shall  be  upon 
his  arm,  and  upon  his  right  eye:  his  arm  shall 
be  clean  dried  up,  and  his  right  eye  shall  be  utterly 
darkened.

3  ^"^And  in  that  day  yrill  I  make  Je-ru'sa-iem  'a  burden- 
some stone  for  all  people :  all  that  burden  themselves  with 
it  shall  be  cut  in  pieces,  though  all  the  people  of  the  earth 
be  gathered  together  against  it. 

4  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  -T  will  smite  every  horse 
with  astonishment,  and  his  rider  with  madness:  and  I  will 
open  mine  eyes  upon  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  will  smite 
every  horse  of  the  people  with  blindness. 

5  And  the  governors  of  Ju'dah  shall  say  in  their  heart, 
II  The  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'salem  shall  be  my  strength  in  the 
Lord  of  hosts  their  God. 

6  ^In  that  day  will  I  make  the  governors  of  Ju'dah  "like 
a  hearth  of  fire  among  the  wood,  and  like  a  torch  of  fire  in 
a  sheaf;  and  they  shall  devour  all  the  people  round  about, 
on  the  right  hand  and  on  the  left :  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  be 
inhabited  again  in  her  own  place,  even  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7  The  Lord  also  shall  save  the  tents  of  Ju'dah  first,  that 
the  glory  of  the  house  of  Da'vid  and  the  glory  of  the  in- 
habitants of  Je-ru'sa-lem  do  not  magnify  themselves  against 
Ju'dah. 

8  In  that  day  shall  the  Lord  defend  the  inhabitants  of 
Je-ru'sa-lem;  and  ''he  that  is  jlffeeble  among  them  at  that 
day  shall  be  as  Da'vid ;  and  the  house  of  Da'vid  shall  be  as 
God,  as  the  angel  of  the  Lord  before  them. 

9  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  I  will  seek 
to  'destroy  all  the  nations  that  come  against  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

10  *And  I  will  pour  upon  the  house  of  Da'vid,  and  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  spirit  of  grace  and  of 
supplications:  and  they  shall  'look  upon  me  whom  they 
have  pierced,  and  they  shall  mourn  for  him,  '"as  one  mourn- 
eth  for  his  only  son,  and  shall  be  in  bitterness  for  him,  as 
one  that  is  in  bitterness  for  his  firstborn. 

11  In  that  day  shall  there  be  a  great  "mourning  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, °as  the  mourning  of  Ha-dad-rim'mon  in  the  valley 
of  Me-gid'don. 

12  "And  the  land  shall  mourn,  fevery  family  apart;  the 
family  of  the  house  of  Da'vid  apart,  and  their  wives  apart; 
the  family  of  the  house  of  "Na'than  apart,  and  their  wives 
ajjart ;

apart;  the  family  ||of  Shim'e-i  apart,  and  their  wives  apart;

CHAF-TER    XIII. 

The  fountain  of  purgation  for  ferusalem,  from  idolatry  and  false  prophecy. 

IN  "that  day   there   shall   be  ''a   fountain   opened   to  the 
house  of  Da'vid  and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem 
for  sin  and  for  tuncleanness. 

2  1[And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  that  I  will  "^cut  off  the  names  of  the  idols  out  of 
the  land,  and  they  shall  no  more  be  remembered:  and  also 
I  will  cause  ''the  prophets  and  the  unclean  spirit  to  pass 
out  of  the  land. 

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  when  any  shall  yet 
prophesy,  then  his  father  and  his  mother  that  begat  him 
shall  say  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  not  live;  for  thou  speakest 
lies  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  :  and  his  father  and  his  mother 
that  begat  him  'shall  thrust  him  through  when  he  prophesieth. 

4  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  -^the  prophets 
shall  be  ashamed  every  one  of  his  vision,  when  he  hath 
prophesied ;  neither  shall  they  wear  "fa  rough  garment  fto 
deceive : 

5  ''But  he  shall  say,  I  am.  no  prophet,  I  am  a  husbandman ; 
for  man  taught  me  to  keep  cattle  from  my  youth. 

6  And  one  shall  say  unto  him,  What  are  these  wounds  in 
thy  hands?  Then  he  shall  answer.  Those  with  which  I  was 
wounded  in  the  house  of  my  friends. 

7  %Awake,  O  sword,  against  .'my  Shepherd,  and  against 
the  man  Hhat  is  my  fellow,    saith    the    Lord    of  hosts: 


3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  I  will  make 
Je-ru'sa-lem  a  burdensome  stone  for  all  the  peoples ; 
all  that  burden  themselves  with  it  shall  be  sore 
wounded;  and  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  shall  be 

4  gathered  together  against  it.  In  that  day,  saith  the 
Lord,  I  will  smite  every  horse  with  astonishment, 
and  his  rider  with  madness :  and  I  will  open  mine 
eyes  upon  the  house  of  Ju'dah,  and  will  smite  every 

5  horse  of  the  peoples  with  blindness.  And  the  chief- 
tains of  Ju'dah  shall  say  in  their  heart,  The  inhabit 
ants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  are  my  strength  in  the  Lord  of 

6  hosts  their  God.  In  that  day  will  I  make  the  chieftains 
of  Ju'dah  like  a  pan  of  fire  among  wood,  and  like  a 
torch  of  fire  among  sheaves;  and  they  shall  devour 
all  the  peoples  round  about,  on  the  right  hand  and 
on  the  left ;  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  yet  again  dwell  in 

7  her  own  place,  even  in  Je-ru'sa-lem.  The  Lord  also 
shall  save  the  tents  of  Ju'dah  first,  that  the  glory 
of  the  house  of  Da'vid  and  the  glory  of  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Je-ru'sa-lem  be  not  magnified  above  Ju'dah 

8  In  that  day  shall  the  Lord  defend  the  inhabitants 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  he  'that  is  feeble  among  them  at 
that  day  shall  be  as  Da'vid;  and  the  house  of  Da'vid 
shall  be  as  God,  as  the  angel  of  the  Lord  before 

9  them.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  I 
will  seek  to  destroy  all  the  nations  that  come  against 

10  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  I  will  pour  upon  the houseof  Da'vid, 
and  upon  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  spirit  of 
grace  and  of  supplication ;  and  they  shall  look  unto 
^me  whom  they  have  pierced :  aud  they  shall  mourn 
for  him,  as  one  mourneth  for  his  only  son,  and  shall 
be  in  bitterness  for  him,  as  one  that  is  in  bitterness 

11  for  his  firstborn.  In  that  day  shall  there  be  a  great 
mourning  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  as  the  mourning  of  Ha 

12dad-rim'mon  in  the  valley  of  Me-gid'don.  And  the 
land  shall  mourn,  every  family  apart ;  the  family  of 
the  house  of  Da'vid  apart,  and  their  wives  apart ;  the 
family  of  the  house  of  Na'than  apart,  and  their  wives 

13 apart;  the  family  of  the  house  of  Le'vi  apart,  and 
their  wives  apart;  the  family  of  the  Shim'e-ites  apart, 

14 and  their  wives  apart;  all  the  families  that  remain, 
every  family  apart,  and  their  wives  apart. 

-t^  In  that  day  there  shall  be  a  fountain  opened  to 
the  house  of  Da'vid  and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Je-ru'- 

2  sa-lem,  for  sin  and  for  uncleanness.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
that  I  will  cut  off  the  names  of  the  idols  out  of  the 
land,  and  they  shall  no  more  be  remembered:  and 
also  I  will  cause  the  prophets  and  the  unclean  spirit 

3  to  pass  out  of  the  land.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
that,  when  any  shall  yet  prophesy,  then  his  father 
and  his  mother  that  begat  him  shall  say  unto  him, 
Thou  shalt  not  live;  for  thou  speakest  lies  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  :  and  his  father  and  his  mother 
that  begat  him  shall  thrust  him  through  when  he 

4  prophesieth.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day 
that  the  prophets  shall  be  ashamed  every  one  of  his 
vision,   when    he    prophesieth ;    neither    shall    they 

5 wear  a  hairy  mantle  to  deceive:  but  he  shall  say, 
I  am  no  prophet,  I  am  a  tiller  of  the  ground;  for  I 

6  have  been  made  a  bondman  from  my  youth.  And  one 
shall  say  unto  him,  What  are  these  wounds  between 
thine  'arms?  Then  he  shall  answer,  Those  with 
which  I  was  wounded  in  the  house  of  my  ^friends. 

7  Awake,  O  sword,  against  my  shepherd,  and  against 
the  man  that  is  my  fellow,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :

CHAPTER    XIV. 

The  coming  of  Christ,  and  the  graces  of  his  kingdom,  &c. 

BEHOLD,  nhe  day  of  the  Lord  cometh,  and  thy  spoil 
shall  be  divided  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

2  For  ''I  will  gather  all  nations  against  Je-ru'sa-lem  to 
battle;  and  the  city  shall  be  taken,  and  the  "houses  rifled, 
and  the  women  ravished  ;  and  half  of  the  city  shall  go  forth 
into  captivity,  and  the  residue  of  the  people  shall  not  be  cut 
off  from  the  city. 

3  Then  shall  the  Lord  go  forth,  and  fight  against  those 
nations,  as  when  he  fought  in  the  day  of  battle. 

4  ^And  his  feet  shall  stand  in  that  day  ''upon  the  mount 
of  Olives,  which  is  before  Je-ru'sa-lem  on  the  east,  and  the 
mount  of  Olives  shall  cleave  in  the  midst  thereof  toward 
the  ea.st  and  toward  the  west,  'and  there  shall  be  a  very  great 
valley ;  and  half  of  the  mountain  shall  remove  toward  the 
north,  and  half  of  it  toward  the  south. 

5  And  ye  shall  flee  to  the  valley  of  ||the  mountains;  ||for 
the  valley  of  the  mountains  shall  reach  unto  A'zal :  yea,  ye 
shall  flee,  like  as  ye  fled  from  before  the  -'earthquake  in  the 
days  of  Uz-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah :  "and  the  Lord  my  God 
shall  come,  and  ''all  the  saints  with  thee. 

6  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  ||  that  the  light 
shall  not  be  felear,  nor  fdark  : 

7  But  II  it  shall  be  'one  day  *which  shall  be  known  to  the 
Lord,  not  day,  nor  night :  but  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  at 
'evening  time  it  shall  be  light. 

8  And  it  shall  be  in  that  day,  thai  living  ""waters  shall  go 
out  from  Je-ru'sa-lem;  half  of  them  toward  the  ||  former 
sea,  and  half  of  them  toward  the  hinder  sea :  in  summer  and 
in  winter  shal'  H  be. 

9  And  the  Lcrd  shall  be  "King  over  all  the  earth :  in 
that  day  shall  there  be  "one  Lord,  and  his  name  one. 

10  All  the  land  shall  be  ||  turned  "as  a  plain  from  Ge'ba  to 
Rim'mon,  south  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  :  and  it  shall  be  lifted  up,  and 
*||  inhabited  in  her  place,  from  Ben'ja-min's  gate  unto  the 
place  of  the  first  gate,  unto  the  corner  gate,  ''and /rom  the 
tower  of  Ha-nan'e-el  unto  the  king's  winepresses. 

11  And  men  shall  dwell  in  it,  and  there  shall  be  "no  more 
utter  destruction ;  'but  Je-ru'sa-lem  ||  shall  be  safely  inhabited. 

12  ^And  this  shall  be  the  plague  wherewith  the  Lord  will 
smite  all  the  people  that  have  fought  against  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
Their  flesh  shall  consume  away  while  they  stand  upon  their 
feet,  and  their  eyes  .shall  consume  away  in  their  holes,  and 
their  tongue  shall  consume  away  in  their  mouth. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  "a  great 
tumult  from  the  Lord  shall  be  among  them ;  and  they  shall 
lay  hold  every  one  on  the  hand  of  his  neighbour,  and  ^his 
hand  shall  rise  up  against  the  hand  of  his  neighbour. 

14  And  II  Ju'dah  also  shall  fight  jj  at  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  "and  the 
wealth  of  all  the  heathen  round  about  shall  be  gathered 
together,  gold,  and  silver,  and  apparel,  in  great  abundance. 

15  And  "so  shall  be  the  plague  of  the  horse,  of  the  mule, 
of  the  camel,  and  of  the  ass,  and  of  all  the  beasts  that  shall 
be  in  these  tents,  as  this  plague. 

16  ^And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  thai  every  one  that  is  left 
of  all  the  nations  which  came  against  Je-ru'sa-lem,  shall  even 
"go  up  from  year  to  year  to  worship  the  King,  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  and  to  keep  'the  feast  of  tabernacles.  i 


smite    the    shepherd,  and   the  sheep  shall  be  scat- 
tered; and  I  will  turn  mine  hand    upon  the  little 

8  ones.  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  all  the 
land,  saith  the  Lord,  two  parts  therein  shall  be  cut 

9  off  and  die;  but  the  third  shall  be  left  therein.  And 
I  will  bring  the  third  part  through  the  fire,  and  will 
refine  them  as  silver  is  refined,  and  will  try  them  as 
gold  is  tried :  they  shall  call  on  my  name,  and  I  will, 
hear  them  :  I  will  say.  It  is  my  people ;  and  they 
shall  say.  The  Lord  is  my  God.  i 

1^  Behold,  a  day  of  the  Lord  cometh,  when  thy  spoil] 

2  shall  be  divided  in  the  midst  of  thee.  For  I  will  gather 
all  nations  against  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  battle ;  and  the  city 
shall  be  taken,  and  the  houses  rifled,  and  the  women 
ravished  :  and  half  of  the  city  shall  go  forth  into  cap- 
tivity, and  the  residue  of  the  people  shall  not  be  cut 

3  off  from  the  city.  Then  shall  the  Lord  go  forth,  and 
fight  against  those  nations,  as  when  he  fought  in  the 

4  day  of  battle.  And  his  feet  shall  stand  in  that  day 
upon  the  mount  of  Olives,  which  is  before  Je-ru'sa-lem 
on  the  east,  and  the  mount  of  Olives  shall  cleave  in 
the  midst  thereof  toward  the  east  and  toward  the 
west,  and  there  shall  be  a  very  great  valley ;  and  half 
of  the  mountain  shall  remove  toward  the  north,  and 

5  half  of  it  toward  the  south.  And  'ye  shall  flee  ^by  the 
valley  of  ^my  mountains :  for  the  valley  of  the  mount 
ains  shall  reach  unto  A'zel :  yea,  ye  shall  flee,  like  as 
ye  fled  from  before  the  earthquake  in  the  days  of 
Uz-zi'ah  king  of  Ju'dah :  and  the  Lord  my  God  .shall 

6  come,  and  all  the  holy  ones  with  thee.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  Hhe  light  shall  not  be 

7  'with  brightness  and  with  gloom :  but  it  shall  be  one 
day  which  is  known  unto  the  Lord  :  not  day,  and 
not  night :  but  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  at  evening 

8  time  there  shall  be  light.     And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
in  that  day,  that  living  waters  shall  go  out  from  Je-ru' 
sa-lem ;  half  of  them  toward  the  eastern  sea,  and  half 
of  them  toward  the  western  sea :  in  summer  and  in 

9  winter  shall  it  be.  And  the  Lord  shall  be  king  over 
all  the  earth :  in  that  day  shall  the  Lord  be  one,  and 

10  his  name  one.  All  the  land  shall  be  turned  as  the 
Ar'a-bah,from  Ge'ba  to  Rim'mon  south  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
and  she  shall  be  lifted  up,  and  shall  dwell  in  her  place, 
from  Ben'ja-min's  gate  unto  the  place  of  the  first  gate, 
unto  the  corner  gate,  and  from  the  tower  of  Han'a-nel 

11  unto  the  king's  winepresses.  And  men  shall  dwell 
therein,  and  there  shall  be  no  more  *curse ;  but  Je-ru'- 

12  sa-lem  shall  dwell  safely.  And  this  shall  be  the  plague 
wherewith  the  Lord  will  smite  all  the  peoples  that 
have  warred  against  Je-ru'sa-lem :  their  flesh  shall 
consume  away  while  they  stand  upon  their  feet,  and 
their  eyes  shall  consume  away  in  their  sockets,  and 
their  tongue  shall   consume    away  in  their  mouth. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  a  great 
'tumult  from  the  Lord  shall  be  among  them ;  and 
they  shall  lay  hold  every  one  on  the  hand  of  his 
neighbour,    and  his  hand  shall  rise  up  against  the 

14  hand  of  his  neighbour.  And  Ju'dah  also  shall  fight 
"against  Je-ru'sa-lem  ;  and  the  wealth  of  all  the  nations 
round  about   shall  be  gathered  together,  gold,  and 

15  silver,  and  apparel,  in  great  abundance.  And  so  shall 
be   the    plague    of  the    horse,  of  the  mule,  of  the 

camel,  and  of  the  ass,  and  of  all  the  beasts  that  shall 

16  be  in  those  camps,  as  this  plague.  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  every  one  that  is  left  of  all  the 
nations  which  came  against  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  go 
up  from  year  to  year  to  worship  the  King,  the 
IX)HD  of  hosts,  and  to  keep  the  feast  of  tabernacles.

CHAPTER    I. 

Malachicomplaineth  of  israeVs  unkindness,  of  their  irreligiousness, 

rpHE   burden  of  the  word  of  the  Lord  to  Is'ra-el   ^hy 
J-    Mal'a-chi. 

2  "I  have  loved  you,  saith  the  Lord.  Yet  ye  say.  Wherein 
hast  thou  loved  us  ?  Was  not  E'sau  Ja'cob's  brother  ?  saith 
the  Lord:  yet  ''I  loved  Ja'cob, 

3  And  I  hated  E'sau,  and  ''laid  his  mountains  and  his 
heritage  waste  for  the  dragons  of  the  wilderness. 

4  Whereas  E'dom  saith,  We  are  impoverished,  but  we  will 
return  and  build  the  desolate  places;  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  They  shall  build,  but  I  will  throw  down;  and  they 
shall  call  them,  The  border  of  wickedness,  and,  The  people 
against  whom  the  Lord  hath  indignation  for  ever. 

6  And  your  eyes  shall  see,  and  ye  shall  say,  ''The  Lord 
will  be  magnified  ||tfrom  the  border  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  ^ A  son  "honoureth  his  father,  and  a  servant  his  master : 
■^if  then  I  6e  a  father,  where  is  mine  honour?  and  if  I  be  & 
master,  where  is  my  fear?  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts  unto 
you,  O  priests,  that  despise  my  name.  'And  ye  say,  Wherein 
have  we  despised  thy  name? 

7  II  Ye  offer  ''polluted  bread  upon  mine  altar  ;  and  ye  say. 
Wherein  have  we  polluted  thee?  In  that  ye  say,  'The 
table  of  the  Lord  is  contemptible. 

8  And  *if  ye  olfer  the  blind  ffor  sacrifice,  is  it  not  evil? 
and  if  ye  offer  the  lame  and  sick,  is  it  not  evil?  ofi^er  it 
now  unto  thy  governor ;  will  he  be  pleased  with  thee,  or 
'accept  thy  person?  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

9  And  now,  I  pray  you,  beseech  fGod  that  he  will  be 
gracious  unto  us :  "this  hath  been  fby  your  means :  will 
he  regard  your  persons  ?  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

10  Who  is  there  even  among  you  that  would  shut  the 
doors /or  nought?  "neither  do  ye  kindle  fire  on  mine  altar 
for  nought.  I  have  no  pleasure  in  you,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts,  "neither  will  I  accept  an  offering  at  your  hand. 

11  For, ''from  the  rising  of  the  sun  even  unto  the  going 
down  of  the  same,  my  name  shall  be  great  «among  the 
Gentiles ;  ''and  in  every  place  'incense  shall  be  offered  unto 
my  name,  and  a  pure  offering :  'for  my  name  shall  be  great 
among  the  heathen,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

12  ^But  ye  have  profaned  it,  in  that  ye  say,  "The  table  of 
the  Lord  is  polluted ;  and  the  fruit  thereof,  even  his  meat, 
is  contemptible. 

13  Ye  said  also,  Behold,  what  a  weariness  is  it!  ||and  ye 
have  snuffed  at  it,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts;  and  ye  brought

*by  Mal'-a-chi. 
21   have   loved   you,  saith  the  Lord.     Yet  ye  say. 

Wherein  hast  thou  loved  us  ?  'Was  not  E'sau  Ja'cob's 
3 brother?  saith  the  Lord:  Yet  I  loved  Ja'cob;  but 

E'sau  I  hated,  and  made  his  mountains  a  desolation, 

and  gave  his  heritage  to  the  jackals  of  the  wilderness. 

4  'Whereas  E'dom  saith.  We  are  ^beaten  down,  but  we 
will  return  and  build  the  waste  places ;  thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts.  They  shall  build,but  I  will  throw  down : 
and  men  shall  call  them  The  border  of  wickedness,  and 
The  people  against  whom  the  Lord  hath  indignation 

5  for  ever.  And  your  eyesshall  see,and  ye  shall  say, The 
Lord  'be  magnified  '"beyond  the  border  of  Is'ra-el. 

6  A  son  honoureth  his  father,  and  a  servant  his 
master:  if  then  I  be  a  father,  where  is  mine  honour? 
and  if  I  be  a  master,  where  is  my  fear  ?  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts  unto  you,  O  priests,  that  despise  my 
name.     And  ye  say,  Wherein  have  we  despised  thy 

7 name?  Ye  offer  polluted  bread  upon  mine  altar. 
And  ye  say.  Wherein  have  we  polluted  thee?  In 
that  ye  say,  The  table  of  the  Lord  is  contemptible. 

8  And  when  ye  offer  the  blind  for  sacrifice,  it  is  no 
evil !  and  when  ye  offer  the  lame  and  sick,  it  is  no 
evil !  Present  it  now  unto  thy  governor ;  will  he  be 
pleased  with   thee?  or   will  he   accept  thy  person? 

9  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And  now,  I  pray  you, 
intreat  the  favour  of  God,  that  he  may  be  gracious 
unto  us :  this  hath  been  "by  your  means :  will  he 
'Accept  any  of  your  persons?   saith  the  Lord  of 

10  hosts.  Oh  that  there  were  one  among  you  that 
would  shut  the  doors,  that  ye  might  not  kindle  _^r€ 
on  mine  altar  in  vain  !  I  have  no  pleasure  in  you, 
saith  the   Lord  of  hosts,  neither  will  I  accept  an

ye  say,  The  table  of  the  Lord  is  polluted,  and  the  fruit 

13  thereof,  even  his  meat,  is  contemptible.  Ye  say  also.

that  which  was  torn,  and  the  lame,  and  the  sick;  thus  ye 
brought  an  offering 5  'should  I  accept  this  of  your  hand? 
saith  the  Loed. 

14  But  cursed  be  "the  deceiver,  ||  which  hath  in  his  flock 
a  male,  and  voweth,  and  sacrificeth  unto  the  Lord  a  cor- 
rupt thing:  for  'lam  a  great  King,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
and  my  name  is  dreadful  among  the  heathen. 
CHAPTER    II. 

Malachi  severely  reproveik  the  priests  and  the  people  /or  their  sins. 

AND    now,    O    ye    priests,    this   commandment   is    for 
you. 

2  "If  ye  will  not  hear,  and  if  ye  will  not  lay  U  to  heart,  to 
give  glorj'  unto  my  name,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I  will 
even  send  a  curse  upon  you,  and  I  will  curse  your  bless- 
ings; yea,  I  have  cursed  them  already,  because  ye  do  not 
lay  it  to  heart. 

3  Behold,  I  will  ||  corrupt  your  seed,  and  fspread  dung 
upon  your  faces,  even  the  dung  of  your  solemn  feasts;  and 
II  one  shall  Hake  you  away  with  it. 

4  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  have  sent  this  commandment 
unto  you,  that  my  covenant  might  be  with  Le'vi,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

5  "My  covenant  was  with  him  of  life  and  peace;  and  I 
gave  tiaem  to  him  'for  the  fear  wherewith  he  feared  me, 
and  was  afraid  before  my  name. 

6  'The  law  of  truth  was  in  his  mouth,  and  iniquity  was 
not  found  in  his  lips:  he  walked  with  me  in  peace  and 
equity,  and  did  -^turn  many  away  from  iniquity. 

7  "For  the  priest's  lips  should  keep  knowledge,  and  they 
should  seek  the  law  at  his  mouth :  *for  he  is  the  messenger 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

8  But  ye  are  departed  out  of  the  way ;  ye  "have  caused 
many  to  || stumble  at  the  law;  *ye  have  corrupted  the  cov- 
enant of  Le'vi,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

9  Therefore  'have  I  also  made  you  contemptible  and  base 
before  all  the  people,  according  as  ye  have  not  kept  my 
ways,  but  Hfhave  been  partial  in  the  law. 

10  "Have  we  not  all  one  father?  "hath  not  one  God  created 
us?  why  do  we  deal  treacherously  every  man  against  his 
brother,  by  profaning  the  covenant  of  our  fathers  ? 

11  ^Ju'dah  hath  dealt  treacherously,  and  an  abomination  is 
committed  in  Is'ra-el  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  for  Ju'dah  hath 
profaned  the  holiness  of  the  Lord  which  he  ||  loved,  "and 
hath  married  the  daughter  of  a  strange  god. 

12  The  Lord  will  cut  off  the  man  that  doeth  this, 
1 1  the  master  and  the  scholar,  out  of  the  tabernacles  of 
Ja'cob,  "and  him  that  offereth  an  offering  unto  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

13  And  this  have  ye  done  again,  covering  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  with  tears,  with  weeping,  and  with  crying  out,  inso- 
much that  he  regardeth  not  the  offering  any  more,  or  re- 
ceiveth  it  with  good  will  at  your  hand. 

14  ^Yet  ye  say,  Wherefore  ?  Because  the  Lord  hath  been 
witness  between  thee  and  'the  wife  of  thy  youth,  against 
whom  thou  hast  dealt  treacherously;  'yet  is  she  thy  cora- 
panion,  and  the  wife  of  thy  covenant. 

15  And  'did  not  he  make  one?  Yet  had  he  the  || residue 
of  the  Spirit.  And  wherefore  one  ?  That  he  might  seek  fa 
godly  seed.  Therefore  take  heed  to  your  spirit,  and  let 
none  deal  ||  treacherously  against  the  wife  of  his  youth. 

16  For  "the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  saith,  ||that  he 
hateth  fputting  away :  for  one  covereth  violence  with  his 
garment,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  therefore  take  heed  to 
your  spirit,  that  ye  deal  not  treacherously. 

17  ^"^Ye  have  wearied  the  Lord  with  your  words.  Yet 
ye  say.  Wherein  have  we  wearied  Mmf  When  ye  say. 
Every  one  that  doeth  evil  is  good  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  he  delighteth  in  them;  or,  Where  is  the  God  of 
judgment? 


that  which  was  takea  by  violence,  and  the  lame 
and  the  sick;  thus  ye  bring  the  offering:  should 
14 1  accept  this  of  your  hand  ?  saith  the  Lord.  But 
cursed  be  the  deceiver,  which  hath  in  his  flock 
a  male,  and  voweth,  and  sacrificeth  unto  the  Lord 
a  blemished  thing:  for  I  am  a  great  king,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  my  name  is  terrible  among  the 
Gentiles. 

^      And  now,  O  ye  priests,  this  commandment  is  for 

2  you.  If  ye  will  not  hear,  and  if  ye  will  not  lay  it 
to  heart,  to  give  glory  unto  my  name,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  then  will  I  send  the  curse  upon  you,  and 
I  will  curse  your  blessings:  yea,  I  have  cursed  them 

3  already,  because  ye  do  not  lay  it  to  heart.  Behold, 
I  will  rebuke  Hhe  seed  for  your  sake,  and  will 
spread  dung  upon  your  faces,  even  the  dung  of 
your  ^sacrifices;  and  ye  shall  be  taken  away  %ith 

4  it.  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  have  sent  this  com- 
mandment  unto   you,  that  my   covenant   might   be 

5  with  Le'vi,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  My  covenant 
was  with  him  of  life  and  peace;  and  I  gave  them 
to   him  that  he  might  fear,  and  he  feared  me,  and 

6  stood  in  awe  of  my  name.  The  law  of  truth  was  in 
his  mouth,  and  unrighteousness  was  not  found  in 
his  lips:  he  walked  with  me  in  peace  and  upright- 

7  ness,  and  did  turn  many  away  from  iniquity.  For 
the  priest's  lips  should  keep  knowledge,  and  they 
should  seek  the  law  at  his  mouth :   for  he  is  the 

8  messenger  of  the  Lord  of  hosts.  But  ye  are  turned 
aside  out  of  the  way;  ye  have  caused  many  to 
stumble  in  the  law;  ye  have  corrupted  the  covenant 

9  of  Le'vi,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  Therefore  have  I 
also  made  you  contemptible  and  base  before  all  the 
people,  according  as  ye  have  not  kept  my  ways,  but 
have  had  respect  of  persons  in  the  law. 

10  Have  we  not  all  one  father?  hath  not  one  God 
created  us?  why  do  we  deal  treacherously  every 
man  against  his  brother,  profaning  the  covenant  of 

11  our  fathers?  Ju'dah  hath  dealt  treacherously,  and  an 
abomination  is  committed  in  Is'ra-el  and  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem ;  for  Ju'dah  hath  profaned  the  ^holiness  of  the 
Lord  which  he  loveth,  and  hath  married  the  daugh- 

12ter  of  a  strange  god.  The  Lord  will  cut  off  to  the 
man  that  doeth  this  him  that  waketh  and  him  that 
answereth,  out  of  the  tents  of  Ja'cob,  and  him  that 

13  offereth  an  offering  unto  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And 
this  'again  ye  do:  ye  cover  the  altar  of  the  Lord 
with  tears,  with  weeping,  and  with  sighing,  insomuch 
that  he  regardeth  not  the  offering  any  more,  neither 

14receiveth  it  with  good  will  at  your  hand.  Yet  ye 
say,  Wherefore?  Because  the  Lord  hath  been 
witness  between  thee  and  the  wife  of  thy  youth, 
against  whom  thOu  hast  dealt  treacherously,  though 
she  is  thy  companion,  and  the  wife  of  thy  covenant. 

15 'And  did  he  not  make  one,  although  he  had  the  resi- 
due of  the  spirit?  And  wherefore  one?  He  sought  a 
godly  seed.  Therefore  take  heed  to  your  .spirit, 
and  let  none  deal  treacherously  against  the  wife  of 

16  his  youth.  For  "I  hate  putting  away,  saith  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Is'ra-el,  and  him  that  covereth  his  garment 
with  violence,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  therefore  take 
heed  to  your  spirit,  that  ye  deal  not  treacherously. 

17  Ye   have  wearied   the   Lord   with   your  words. 
Yet    ye    say.    Wherein 
In    that    ye  say.    Every

Majesty,  and  face  of  Christ,  and  of  the  infidelity  of  the  people. 

BEHOLD,  'I  will  send  my  messenger,  and  he  shall  'pre- 
pare the  way  before  me :  and  the  Lord,  whom  ye  seek, 
shall  suddenly  come  to  his  temple,  "even  the  messenger  of 
the  covenant,  whom  ye  delight  in :  behold,  ''he  shall  come, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

2  But  who  may  abide  'the  day  of  his  coming?  and  -^who 
shall  stand  when  he  appeareth?  for  "he  is  like  a  refiner's 
fire,  and  like  fullers'  soap. 

3  And  *he  shall  sit  as  a  refiner  and  purifier  of  silver :  and 
he  shall  purify  the  sons  of  Le'vi,  and  purge  them  as  gold 
and  silver,  that  they  may  'offer  unto  the  Lord  an  offering 
in  righteousness. 

4  Then  'shall  the  offering  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  be 
pleasant  unto  the  Lord,  as  in  the  days  of  old,  and  as  in 
II  former  years. 

5  And  I  will  come  near  to  you  to  judgment:  and  I  will 
be  a  swift  witness  against  the  sorcerers,  and  against  the 
adulterers,  'and  against  false  swearers,  and  against  those 
that  II  oppress  the  hireling  in  his  wages,  the  widow,  and  the 
fatherless,  and  that  turn  aside  the  stranger  from  his  right, 
and  fear  not  me,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

6  For  I  am  the  Lord,  "'I  change  not;  "therefore  ye  sons 
of  Ja'cob  are  not  consumed. 

7  ^Even  from  the  days  of  "your  fathers  ye  are  gone  away 
from  mine  ordinances,  and  have  not  kept  them.  ''Return 
unto  me,  and  I  will  return  unto  you,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts.     'But  ye  .said.  Wherein  shall  we  return? 

8  ^Will  a  man  rob  God?  Yet  ye  have  robbed  me.  But 
ye  say.  Wherein  have  we  robbed  thee?  ""In  tithes  and 
offerings. 

9  Ye  are  cursed  with  a  curse:  for  ye  have  robbed  me, 
even  this  whole  nation. 

10  'Bring  ye  all  the  tithes  into  'the  storehouse,  that  there 
may  be  meat  in  mine  house,  and  prove  me  now  herewith, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  if  I  will  not  open  you  the  "win- 
dows of  heaven,  and  t^'pour  you  out  a  blessing,  that  there 
shall  not  be  room  enough  to  receive  it. 

11  And  I  will  rebuke  "the  devourer  for  your  sakes,  and 
he  shall  not  fdestroy  the  fruits  of  your  ground ;  neither 
shall  your  vine  cast  her  fruit  before  the  time  in  the  field, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

12  And  all  nations  shall  call  you  blessed:  for  ye  shall  be 
'a  delightsome  land,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

13  1["Your  words  have  been  stout  against  me,  saith  the 
Lord.  Yet  ye  say.  What  have  we  spoken  so  much  against 
thee  ? 

14  ''Ye  have  said,  It  is  vain  to  serve  God :  and  what  profit 
is  it  that  we  have  kept  fhis  ordinance,  and  that  we  have 
walked  fmournfuUy  before  the  Lord  of  hosts  ? 

15  And  now  "we  call  the  proud  happy;  yea,  they  that 
work  wickedness  fare  set  up;  yea,  they  that  ''tempt  God  are 
even  delivered. 

16  TIThen  they  'that  feared  the  Lord  4pake  often 
one  to  another:  and  the  Lord  hearkened,  and  heard  it; 
and  "a  book  of  remembrance  was  written  before  him  for 
them  that  feared  the  Lord,  and  that  thought  upon  his 
name. 

17  And  '^they  shall  be  mine,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
in  that  day  when  I  make  up  my  || 'jewels;  and  *I  will 
spare  them,  as  a  man  spareth  his  own  son  that  serveth 
him. 

18  'Then  shall  ye  return  and  discern  between  th°  right- 
eous and  the  wicked,  between  him  that  serveth  God  and 
him  that  serveth  him  not. 


^  Behold,  I  send  my  messenger,  and  he  shall  prepare 
the  way  before  me :  and  the  Lord,  whom  ye  seek, 
shall  suddenly  come  to  his  temple ;  'and  the  ''mes- 
senger of  the  covenant,  whom  ye  delight  in,  behold, 

2  he  Cometh,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  But  who  may 
abide  the  day  of  his  coming?  and  who  .shall  stand 
when  he  appeareth?  for  he  is  like  a  refiner's  fire,  and 

3  like  fullers'  soap :  and  he  shall  sit  as  a  refiner  and 
purifier  of  silver,  and  he  shall  purify  the  sons  of 
Le'vi,  and  purge  them  as  gold  and  silver;  and  they 
shall  offer  unto  the  Lord  offerings  in  righteousness 

4  Then  shall  the  offering  of  Ju'dah  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  be 
pleasant  unto  the  Lord,  as  in  the  days  of  old,  and 

5  as  in  ancient  years.  And  I  will  come  near  to  you 
to  judgement;  and  I  will  be  a  swift  witness  against 
the  sorcerers,  and  against  the  adulterers,  and  against 
false  swearers;  and  against  those  that  oppress  the 
hireling  in  his  wages,  the  widow,  and  the  fatherless, 
and  that  turn  aside  the  stranger  from  his  right,  and 

6  fear  not  me,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  For  I  the 
Lord  change  not;  therefore  ye,  O  sons  of  Ja'cob, 
are  not  consumed. 

7  From  the  days  of  your  fathers  ye  have  turned 
aside  from  mine  ordinances,  and  have  not  kept  them 
Return  unto  me,  and  I  will  return  unto  you,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts.     But  ye  say.   Wherein  shall  we 

8 return  ?     Will  a  man  rob  God?  yet  ye  rob  me.     But 

ye   say.   Wherein  have  we  robbed  thee?     In   tithes 

9 and  'offerings.     Ye  are  cursed  with  the  curse;   for 

10  ye  rob  me,  even  this  whole  nation.  Bring  ye  the 
whole  tithe  into  the  storehouse,  that  there  may  be 
meat  in  mine  house,  and  prove  me  now  herewith, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  if  I  will  not  open  you  the 
windows  of  heaven,    and  pour  you  out  a  blessing, 

11  that  there  shall  not  be  room  enough  to  receive  it.  And 
I  will  rebuke  the  devourer  for  your  sakes,  and  he 
shall  not  destroy  the  fruits  of  your  ground ;  neither 
shall  your  vine  cast  her  fruit  before  the  time  in  the 

12  field,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  And  all  nations  shall 
call  you  happy :  for  ye  shall  be  a  delightsome  land, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

13  Your  words  have  been  stout  against  me,  saith  the 
Lord.     Yet  ye  say,  Wherein  have  we  spoken  against 

14  thee  ?  Ye  have  said.  It  is  vain  to  serve  God :  and 
what  profit  is  it  that  we  have  kept  his  charge,  and 
that  we  have  walked  'mournfully  before  the  Lord 

15  of  hosts?  And  now  we  call  the  proud  happy;  yea, 
they  that  work  wickedness  are  built  up;  yea,  they 

16  tempt  God,  and  are  delivered.  Then  they  that 
feared  the  Lord  spake  one  with  another:  and  the 
Lord  hearkened,  and  heard,  and  a  book  of  remem- 
brance was  written  before  him,  for  them  that  feared 

17  the  Lord,  and  that  thought  upon  his  name.  And 
they  shall  be  mine,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  in  the 
day  'that  I  "do  make,  even  a  peculiar  treasure;  and 
I  wall  spare  them,  as  a  man  spareth  his   own  son 

18  that  serveth  him.  Then  shall  ye  return  and  discern 
between  the  righteous  and  the  wicked,  between  him 
that  serveth  God  and  him  that  serveth  him  not.

CHAPTER    IV. 

God't  jttdfmait  on  tht  wicked,  and  Kis  blessing  on  the  good, 

FOR,  behold,  "the  day  cometh,  that  shall  burn  as  an 
oven ;  and  all  'the  proud,  yea,  and  all  that  do  wickedly, 
shall  be  ''stubble :  and  the  day  that  cometh  shall  burn  them 
up,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  it  shall  ''leave  them  neither 
root  nor  branch. 

2  ^But  unto  yon  that  'fear  my  name  shall  the  -^Sun  of 
righteousness  arise  with  healing  in  his  wings ;  and  ye  shall 
go  forth,  and  grow  up  as  calves  of  the  stall. 

3  'And  ye  shall  tread  down  the  wicked ;  for  they  shall  be 
ashes  under  the  soles  of  your  feet  in  the  day  that  I  shall  do 
this,  saith  the  Lobd  of  hosts. 

4  llTlemember  ye  the  *law  of  Mo'ses  my  servant,  which  I 
commanded  unto  him  'in  Ho'reb  for  all  Is'ra-el,  vnih  *the 
statutes  and  judgments. 

5  TfBehold,  I  will  send  you  'E-li'jah  the  prophet  "before 
the  coming  of  the  great  and  dreadful  day  of  the  Lord  : 

6  And  he  shall  turn  the  heart  of  the  fathers  to  the 
children,  and  the  heart  of  the  children  to  their  fiithers, 
lest  I  come  and  "smite  the  earth  with  "a  curse. 


^  For,  behold,  the  day  cometh,  it  burneth  as  a  furnace ; 
and  all  the  proud,  and  all  that  work  wickedness,  shall 
be  stubble :  and  the  day  that  cometh  shall  burn  them 
up,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  it  shall  leave  them 

2  neither  root  nor  branch.  But  unto  you  that  fear  ray 
name  shall  the  sun  of  righteousness  arise  with  heal- 
ing   in    his  wings;    and    ye    shall    go    forth,    and 

3  gambol  as  calves  of  the  stall.  And  ye  shall  tread 
down  the  wicked ;  for  they  shall  be  ashes  under  the 
soles  of  your  feet  in  the  day  that  I  'do  make,  saith

APPENDIX. 


The  American  Old  Testament  Revision  Company,  while  recognizing  the  cordial  acceptance  given  to  many  of  their  suggestions,  present 
the  following  instances  in  which  they  differ  from  the  English  Company,  as  of  sufficient  importance  to  be  appended  to  the  Revision  in  accord- 
ance with  the  original  agreement.

the  marg.  at  Ex.- iii.  15;  also  substitute  "Jehovah"  for  "the 
Lord  "or  "  Jah"  wherever  the  latter  occurs  in  the  Hebrew  text, 
and  retain  or  insert  "Heb.  Jah"  in  the  marg. ;  where  "Jeho- 
vah" immediately  follows,  viz.  in  Is.  xii.  2,  xxvi.  4,  read  "Je- 
hovah, even  Jehovah"  and  omit  "■Jehovah"  from  the  marg. 
n.  Substitute  "Sheol"  wherever  it  occurs  in  the  Hebrew  text,  for

substitute  "enter  into  judgment"  for  "plead"  in  Jer.  xxv.

1.  Moderats  drinking  tends  to 
dmnkeuuess,  while  total  abstinence 
directly  from  it. 

2.  While  no  one  means  to  become 
a  drunkard,  there  is  said  to  be  over 

six   hundred   thousand    confirmed 
drunkards  in  our  country  to-day. 

3.  Intoxicating  drinks  can  do 
no  good  as  a  beverage,  and  there 
are  always  safer  and  surer  remedies 
to  use  in  case  of  sickness. 

4.  The  idea  of  moderation  is  full 
of  deceit,  and  our  estimate  of  the 
power  of  our  own  will  is  usually  a 
mistaken  one. 

5.  The  drinking  habit  is  the  cause 
of  the  larger  portion  of  the  misery, 
poverty  and  crime  in  our  land. 

6.  Both  science  and  experience 
prove  that  even  moderate  drinking 

is  injurious  to  health.

THE  UNDERSIGNED  SOLEMNIY  PROMISE, 

TO  ABSTAIN  FROM  THE  USE  OF  ALL 
INTOXICATING  DRINKS  AS  A  BEVERAGE. 


7.  Eternal  interests  are  often  for 
feited  through  drink,  for  the  Bible 
declares  that  no  drunkard  shall  en- 
ter heaven. 

8.  The  Bible  pronounces  no  bless- 
ing upon  drinking,  but  many  up- 
on total  abstinence. 

9.  It  is  easier  to  keep  a  pledge 
publicly,     solemnly    given    than    a 
simple  resolution. 

10.  The  pledge  protects  us  from 
the  solicitations  of  friends  and  re- 
moves us  from  the  temptations  of 
the  saloon. 

11.  Persons  miscalculate  their 
ability  to  drink  in  moderation,  and 
become  slaves  to  the  drinking  habit 
before  they  are  aware  of  it. 

12.  Intemperance  obstructs  civil- 
isation,    education,     religion    and 

every  useful  reform.

REVISERS'   PREFACE. 


The  English  version  of  the  New  Testament  here  pre- 
sented to  the  reader  is  a  Revision  of  the  Translation 
published  in  the  year  of  Our  Lord  1611,  and  commonly 
known  by  the  name  of  the  Authorised  Version. 

That  Translation  was  the  work  of  many  hands  and  of 
several  generations.  The  foundation  was  laid  by  William 
Tyndale.  His  translation  of  the  New  Testament  was  the 
true  primary  version.  The  Versions  that  followed  were 
either  substantially  reproductions  of  Tyndale's  transla- 
tion in  its  final  shape  or  revisions  of  Versions  that  had 
been  themselves  almost  entirely  based  on  it.  Three  suc- 
cessive stages  may  be  recognised  in  this  continuous  work 
of  authoritative  revision :  first,  the  publication  of  the 
Great  Bible  of  1539-41  in  the  reign  of  Henry  Vlll; 
next,  the  publication  of  the  Bishops'  Bible  of  1568  and 
1572  in  the  reign  of  Elizabeth ;  and  lastly,  the  publica- 
tion of  the  King's  Bible  of  1611  in  the  reign  of  James  I. 
Besides  these,  the  Genevan  Version  of  1560,  itself  founded 
on  Tyndale's  translation,  must  here  be  named;  which, 
though  not  put  forth  by  authority,  was  widely  circulated 
in  this  country  and  largely  used  by  King  James'  Trans- 
lators. Thus  the  form  in  which  the  English  New  Testa- 
ment has  now  been  read  for  270  years  was  the  result  of 
various  revisions  made  between  1525  and  1611;  and  the 
present  Revision  is  an  attempt,  after  a  long  interval,  to 
follow  the  example  set  by  a  succession  of  honoured  pre- 
decessors. 

I.  Of  the  many  points  of  interest  connected  with  the 
Translation  of  1611,  two  require  special  notice ;  first,  the 
Greek  Text  which  it  appears  to  have  represented;  and 
secondly,  the  character  of  the  Translation  itself. 

1.  With  regard  to  the  Greek  Text,  it  would  appear 
that,  if  to  some  extent  the  Translators  exercised  an  inde- 
pendent judgement,  it  was  mainly  in  choosing  amongst 
readings  contained  in  the  principal  editions  of  the  Greek 
Text  that  had  appeared  in  the  sixteenth  century.  Wher- 
ever they  seem  to  have  followed  a  reading  which  is  not 
found  in  any  of  those  editions,  their  rendering  may 
probably  be  traced  to  the  Latin  Vulgate.  Their  chief 
guides  appear  to  have  been  the  later  editions  of  Stephanus 
and  of  Beza,  and  also,  to  a  certain  extent,  the  Complu- 
tensian  Polyglott.  All  these  were  founded  for  the  most 
part  on  manuscripts  of  late  date,  few  in  number,  and  used 
with  little  critical  skill.  But  in  those  days  it  could 
hardly  have  been  otherwise.     Nearly  all  the  more  ancient 

65 


of  the  documentary  authorities  have  become  known  only 
within  the  last  two  centuries;  some  of  the  most  important 
of  them,  indeed,  within  the  last  few  years.  Their  publi- 
cation has  called  forth  not  only  improved  editions  of  the 
Greek  Text,  but  a  succession  of  instructive  discussions  on 
the  variations  which  have  been  brought  to  light,  and  on 
the  best  modes  of  distinguishing  original  readings  from 
changes  introduced  in  the  course  of  transcription.  While 
therefore  it  has  long  been  the  opinion  of  all  scholars  that 
the  commonly  received  text  needed  thorough  revision,  it 
is  but  recently  that  materials  have  been  acquired  for  ex- 
ecuting such  a  work  with  even  approximate  completeness. 

2.  The  character  of  the  Translation  itself  will  be  best 
estimated  by  considering  the  leading  rules  under  which  it 
was  made,  and  the  extent  to  which  these  rules  appear  to 
have  been  observed. 

The  primary  and  fundamental  rule  was  expressed  in 
the  following  terms : — '  The  ordinary  Bible  read  in  the 
Church,  commonly  called  the  Bishops'  Bible,  to  be  fol- 
lowed, and  as  little  altered  as  the  truth  of  the  Original 
will  permit.'  There  was,  however,  this  subsequent  pro- 
vision : — '  These  translations  to  be  used,  when  they  agree 
better  with  the  text  than  the  Bishops'  Bible :  Tindale's, 
Matthew's,  Coverdale's,  Whitchurch's,  Geneva.'  The  first 
of  these  rules,  which  was  substantially  the  same  as  that 
laid  down  at  the  revision  of  the  Great  Bible  in  the  reign 
of  Elizabeth,  was  strictly  observed.  The  other  rule  was 
but  partially  followed.  The  Translators  made  much  use 
of  the  Genevan  Version.  They  do  not  however  appear 
to  have  frequently  returned  to  the  renderings  of  the  other 
Versions  named  in  the  rule,  where  those  Versions  differed 
from  the  Bishops'  Bible.  On  the  other  hand,  their  work 
shews  evident  traces  of  the  influence  of  a  Version  not 
specified  in  the  rules,  the  Rhemish,  made  from  the  Latin 
Vulgate,  but  by  scholars  conversant  with  the  Greek 
Original. 

Another  rule,  on  which  it  is  stated  that  those  in 
authority  laid  great  stress,  related  to  the  rendering  of 
words  that  admitted  of  different  interpretations.  It  was 
as  follows: — 'When  a  word  hath  divers  significations, 
that  to  be  kept  which  hath  been  most  commonly  used  by 
the  most  of  the  ancient  fathers,  being  agreeable  to  the 
propriety  of  the  place  and  the  Jinalogy  of  the  faith.' 
With  this  rule  was  associated  the  following,  on  which 
equal  stress  appears  to  have  been  laid : — '  The  old 
ecclesiastical  words  to  be  kept;  viz.,  the  word  Church  not 

1029 


1030 


RKVISERS'   PREFACE. 


to  be  translated  Congregation,  &c.'  This  latter  rule  was 
for  the  most  part  carefully  observed;  but  it  may  be 
doubted  whether,  in  the  case  of  words  that  admitted  of 
different  meanings,  the  instructions  were  at  all  closely 
followed.  In  dealing  with  the  more  difficult  words  of  this 
class,  the  Translators  appear  to  have  paid  much  regard  to 
traditional  interpretations,  and  especially  to  the  authority 
of  the  Vulgate ;  but,  as  to  the  large  residue  of  words 
■which  might  properly  fall  under  the  rule,  they  used  con- 
siderable freedom.  Moreover  they  profess  in  their  Preface 
to  have  studiously  adopted  a  variety  of  expression  which 
would  now  be  deemed  hardly  consistent  with  the  require- 
ments of  faithful  translation.  They  seem  to  have  been 
guided  by  the  feeling  that  their  Version  would  secure  for 
the  words  they  used  a  lasting  place  in  the  language :  and 
they  express  a  fear  lest  they  should  'be  charged  (by 
scoflFers)  with  some  unequal  dealing  towards  a  great  num- 
of  good  English  words,'  which,  without  this  liberty  on 
their  part,  would  not  have  a  place  in  the  pages  of  the 
English  Bible.  Still  it  cannot  be  doubted  that  they  car- 
ried this  liberty  too  far,  and  that  the  studied  avoidance 
of  uniformity  in  the  rendering  of  the  same  words,  even 
when  occurring  in  the  same  context,  is  one  of  the  blem- 
ishes in  their  work. 

A  third  leading  rule  was  of  a  negative  character,  but 
was  rendered  necessary  by  the  experience  derived  from 
former  Versions.  The  words  of  the  rule  are  as  fol- 
lows : — '  No  marginal  notes  at  all  to  be  aflBxed,  but  only 
for  the  explanation  of  the  Hebrew  or  Greek  words  which 
cannot  without  some  circumlocution  so  briefly  and  fitly 
be  expressed  in  the  text.'  Here  again  the  Translators 
used  some  liberty  in  their  application  of  the  rule.  Out 
of  more  than  760  marginal  notes  originally  appended  to 
the  Authorised  Version  of  the  New  Testament,  only  a 
seventh  part  consists  of  explanations  or  literal  render- 
ings ;  the  great  majority  of  the  notes  being  devoted  to 
the  useful  and  indeed  necessary  purpose  of  placing  before 
the  reader  alternative  renderings  which  it  was  judged  that 
the  passage  or  the  words  would  fairly  admit.  The  notes 
referring  to  variations  in  the  Greek  Text  amount  to 
about  thirty-five. 

Of  the  remaining  rules  it  may  be  sufficient  to  notice 
one,  which  was  for  the  most  part  consistently  followed : — 
'  The  names  of  the  prophets  and  the  holy  writers,  with 
the  other  names  of  the  text,  to  be  retained,  as  nigh  as 
may  be,  accordingly  as  they  were  vulgarly  used.'  The 
Translators  had  also  the  liberty,  in  '  any  place  of  special 
obscurity ,' to  consult  those  who  might  be  qualified  to  give 
an  opinion. 

Passing  from  these  fundamental  rules,  which  should  be 
borne  in  mind  by  any  one  who  would  rightly  understand 
the  nature  and  character  of  the  Authorised  Version,  we 
must  call  attention  to  the  manner  in  which  the  actual 
work  of  the  translation  was  carried  on.     The  New  Testa- 


ment was  assigned  to  two  separate  Companies,  the  one 
consisting  of  eight  members,  sitting  at  Oxford,  the  other 
consisting  of  seven  members,  sitting  at  Westminster. 
There  is  no  reason  to  believe  that  these  Companies  ever 
sat  together.  They  communicated  to  each  other,  and 
likewise  to  the  four  Companies  to  which  the  Old  Testa- 
ment and  the  Apocrypha  had  been  committed,  the  results 
of  their  labours ;  and  perhaps  afterwards  reconsidered 
them :  but  the  fact  that  the  New  Testament  was  divided 
between  two  separate  bodies  of  men  involved  a  grave 
inconvenience,  and  was  beyond  all  doubt  the  cause  of 
many  inconsistencies.  These  probably  would  have  been 
much  more  serious,  had  it  not  been  provided  that  there 
should  be  a  final  supervision  of  the  whole  Bible,  by 
selected  members  from  Oxford,  Cambridge,  and  West- 
minster, the  three  centres  at  which  the  work  had  been 
carried  on.  These  supervisors  are  said  by  one  authority 
to  have  been  six  in  number,  and  by  another  twelve. 
When  it  is  remembered  that  this  supervision  was  com- 
pleted in  nine  months,  we  may  wonder  that  the  incon- 
gruities which  remain  are  not  more  numerous. 

The  Companies  appear  to  have  been  occupied  in  the 
actual  business  of  revision  about  two  years  and  three 
quarters. 

Such,  so  far  as  can  be  gathered  from  the  rules  and 
modes  of  procedure,  is  the  character  of  the  time-hon- 
oured version  which  we  have  been  called  upon  to  revise. 
We  have  had  to  study  this  great  Version  carefully  and 
minutely,  line  by  line ;  and  the  longer  we  have  been 
engaged  upon  it  the  more  we  have  learned  to  admire  its 
simplicity,  its  dignity,  its  power,  its  happy  turns  of  ex- 
pression, its  general  accuracy,  and,  we  must  not  fail  to 
add,  the  music  of  its  cadences,  and  the  felicities  of  its 
rhythm.  To  render  a  work  that  had  reached  this  high 
standard  of  excellence  still  more  excellent,  to  increase 
its  fidelity  without  destroying  its  charm,  was  the  task 
committed  to  us.  Of  that  task,  and  of  the  conditions 
under  which  we  have  attempted  its  fulfillment,  it  will  now 
be  necessary  for  us  to  speak. 

II.  The  present  Revision  had  its  origin  in  action  taken 
by  the  Convocation  of  the  Province  of  Canterbury  in 
February  1870,  and  it  has  been  conducted  throughout 
on  the  plan  laid  down  in  Resolutions  of  both  Houses  of 
the  Province,  and,  more  particularly,  in  accordance  with 
Principles  and  Rules  drawn  up  by  a  special  Committee 
of  Convocation  in  the  following  May.  Two  Companies, 
the  one  for  the  revision  of  the  Authorised  Version  of  the 
Old  Testament,  and  the  other  for  the  revision  of  the  same 
Version  of  the  New  Testament,  were  formed  in  the  man- 
ner specified  in  the  Resolutions,  and  the  work  was  com- 
menced on  the  twenty-second  day  of  June  1870.  Shortly 
afterwards,  steps  were  taken,  under  a  resolution  passed 
by  both  houses  of  Convocation,  for  inviting  the  co-opera-

tion  of  American  scholars;  and  eventually  two  Committees 
were  formed  in  America  for  the  purpose  of  acting  with 
the  two  English  Companies,  on  the  basis  of  the  Principles 
and.  Rules  drawn  up  by  the  Committee  of  Convocation. 

The  fundamental  Resolutions  adopted  by  the  Convo- 
cation of  Canterbury  on  the  third  and  fifth  days  of  May 
1870  were  as  follows: — 

'  1.  That  it  is  desirable  that  a  revision  of  the  Author- 
ised Version  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  be  undertaken. 

'2.  That  the  revision  be  so  conducted  as  to  comprise 
both  marginal  renderings  and  such  emendations  as  it  may 
be  found  necessary  to  insert  in  the  text  of  the  Authorised 
Version. 

*  3.  That  in  the  above  resolutions  we  do  not  contem- 
plate any  new  translation  of  the  Bible,  or  any  alteration 
of  the  language,  except  where  in  the  judgment  of  the 
most  competent  scholars  such  change  is  necessary. 

*  4.  That  in  such  necessary  changes,  the  style  of  the 
language  employed  in  the  existing  Version  be  closely 
followed. 

*5.  That  it  is  desirable  that  Convocation  should  nomi- 
nate a  body  of  its  own  members  to  undertake  the  work 
of  revision,  who  shall  be  at  liberty  to  invite  the  co-oper- 
ation of  any  eminent  for  scholarship,  to  whatever  nation 
or  religious  body  they  may  belong.' 

The  Principles  and  Rules  agreed  to  by  the  Committee 
of  Convocation  on  the  twenty-fith  day  of  May  1870  were 
as  follows: — 

'  1.  To  introduce  as  few  alterations  as  possible  into 
the  Text  of  the  Authorised  Version  consistently  with 
faithfulness. 

'  2.  To  limit,  as  far  as  possible,  the  expression  of  such 
alterations  to  the  language  of  the  Authorised  and  earlier 
English  Versions. 

'  3.  Each  Company  to  go  twice  over  the  portion  to  be 
revised,  once  provisionally,  the  second  time  finally,  and 
on  principles  of  voting  as  hereinafter  is  provided. 

'  4.  That  the  Text  to  be  adopted  be  that  for  which  the 
evidence  is  decidedly  preponderating;  and  that  when 
the  Text  so  adopted  differs  from  that  from  which  the 
Authorised  Version  was  made,  the  alteration  be  indicated 
in  the  margin. 

*  5.  To  make  or  retain  no  change  in  the  Text  on  the 
second  final  revision  by  each  Company,  except  two  thirds 
of  those  present  approve  of  the  same,  but  on  the  first 
revision  to  decide  by  simple  majorities. 

'  6.  In  every  case  of  proposed  alteration  that  may  have 
given  rise  to  discussion,  to  defer  the  voting  thereupon 
till  the  next  Meeting,  whensoever  the  same  shall  be 
required  by  one  third  of  those  present  at  the  Meeting, 
such  intended  vote  to  be  announced  in  the  notice  for  the 
next  Meeting. 

'  7.  To  revise  the  headings  of  chapters  and  pages, 
paragraphs,  italics,  and  punctuation. 


'  8.  To  refer,  on  the  part  of  each  Company,  when  con- 
sidered desirable,  to  Divines,  Scholars,  and  Literary 
Men,  whether  at  home  or  abroad,  for  their  opinions.' 

These  rules  it  has  been  our  endeavour  faithfully  and 
consistently  to  follow.  One  only  of  them  we  found  our- 
selves unable  to  observe  in  all  particulars.  In  accordance 
with  the  seventh  rule,  we  have  carefully  revised  the  para- 
graphs, italics,  and  punctuation.  But  the  revision  of  the 
headings  of  chapters  and  pages  would  have  involved 
so  much  of  indirect,  and  indeed  frequently  of  direct 
interpretation,  that  we  judged  it  best  to  omit  them 
altogether. 

Our  communications  with  the  American  Committee 
have  been  of  the  following  nature.  We  transmitted  to 
them  from  time  to  time  each  several  portion  of  our  First 
Revision,  and  received  from  them  in  return  their  criti- 
cisms and  suggestions.  These  we  considered  with  much 
care  and  attention  during  the  time  we  were  engaged  on 
our  Second  Revision.  We  then  sent  over  to  them  the 
various  portions  of  the  Second  Revision  as  they  were 
completed,  and  received  further  suggestions,  which,  like 
the  former,  were  closely  and  carefully  considered.  Last 
of  all,  we  forwarded  to  them  the  Revised  Version  in  its 
final  form;  and  a  list  of  those  passages  in  which  they 
desire  to  place  on  record  their  preference  of  other  read- 
ings and  renderings  will  be  found  at  the  end  of  the 
volume.  We  gratefully  acknowledge  their  care,  vigil- 
ance, and  accuracy ;  and  we  humbly  pray  that  their 
labours  and  our  own,  thus  happily  united,  may  be  per- 
mitted to  bear  a  blessing  to  both  countries,  and  to  all 
English-speaking  people  throughout  the  world. 

The  whole  time  devoted  to  the  work  has  been  ten 
years  and  a  half.  The  First  Revision  occupied  about 
six  years ;  the  Second,  about  two  years  and  a  half.  The 
remaining  time  has  been  spent  in  the  consideration  of 
the  suggestions  from  America  on  the  Second  Revision, 
and  of  many  details  and  reserved  questions  arising  out 
of  our  own  labours.  As  a  rule,  a  session  of  four  days 
has  been  held  every  month  (with  the  exception  of  August 
and  September)  in  each  year  from  the  commencement 
of  the  work  in  June  1870.  The  average  attendance  for 
the  whole  time  has  been  sixteen  each  day;  the  whole 
Company  consisting  at  first  of  twenty-seven,  but  for  the 
greater  part  of  the  time  of  twenty -four  members,  many 
of  them  residing  at  great  distances  from  London.  Of 
the  original  number  four  have  been  removed  from  us  by 
death. 

At  an  early  stage  in  our  labours,  we  entered  into  an 
agreement  with  the  Universities  of  Oxford  and  Cam- 
bridge for  the  conveyance  to  them  of  our  copyright  in 
the  work.  This  arrangement  provided  for  the  necessary 
expenses  of  the  undertaking ;  and  procured  for  the  Revised 
Version  the  advantage  of  being  published  by  Bodies  long 
connected  with  the  publication  of  the  Authorised  Version.

REVISBRS'   PREKACK. 


III.  We  now  pass  onward  to  give  a  brief  account  of 
the  particulars  of  the  present  work.  This  we  propose  to 
do  under  the  four  heads  of  Text,  Translation,  Language, 
and  Marginal  Notes. 

1.  A  revision  of  the  Greek  text  was  the  necessary 
foundation  of  our  work;  but  it  did  not  fall  within  our 
province  to  construct  a  continuous  and  complete  Greek 
text.  In  many  cases  the  English  rendering  was  con- 
sidered to  represent  correctly  either  of  two  competing 
readings  in  the  Greek,  and  then  the  question  of  the  text 
was  usually  not  raised.  A  sufficiently  laborious  task 
remained  in  deciding  between  the  rival  claims  of  various 
readings  which  might  properly  affect  the  translation. 
When  these  were  adjusted,  our  deviations  from  the  text 
presumed  to  underlie  the  Authorised  Version  had  next 
to  be  indicated,  in  accordance  with  the  fourth  rule ;  but 
it  proved  inconvenient  to  record  them  in  the  margin.  A 
better  mode  however  of  giving  them  publicity  has  been 
found,  as  the  University  Presses  have  undertaken  to 
print  them  in  connection  with  complete  Greek  texts  of 
the  New  Testament. 

In  regard  of  the  readings  thus  approved,  it  may  be 
observed  that  the  fourth  rule,  by  requiring  that  '  the  text 
to  be  adopted'  should  be  'that  for  which  the  evidence  is 
decidedly  preponderating,'  was  in  effect  an  instruction  to 
follow  the  authority  of  documentary  evidence  without 
deference  to  any  printed  text  of  modern  times,  and  there- 
fore to  employ  the  best  resources  of  criticism  for  estimat- 
ing the  value  of  evidence.  Textual  criticism,  as  applied 
to  the  Greek  New  Testament,  forms  a  special  study  of 
much  intricacy  and  difficulty,  and  even  now  leaves  room 
for  considerable  variety  of  opinion  among  competent 
critics.  Different  schools  of  criticism  have  been  repre- 
sented among  us,  and  have  together  contributed  to  the 
final  result.  In  the  early  part  of  the  work  every  various 
reading  requiring  consideration  was  discussed  and  voted 
on  by  the  Company.  After  a  time  the  precedents  thus 
established  enabled  the  process  to  be  safely  shortened ; 
but  it  was  still  at  the  option  of  every  one  to  raise  a  full 
discussion  on  any  particular  reading,  and  the  option  was 
freely  used.  Oa  the  first  revision,  in  accordance  with 
the  fifth  rule,  the  decisions  were  arrived  at  by  simple 
majorities.  On  the  second  revision,  at  which  a  majority 
of  two  thirds  was  required  to  retain  or  introduce  a  read- 
ing at  variance  with  the  reading  presumed  to  underlie 
the  Authorised  Version,  many  readings  previously  adopted 
were  brought  again  into  debate,  and  either  re-affirmed  or 
set  aside. 

Many  places  still  remain  in  which,  for  the  present,  it 
would  not  be  safe  to  accept  one  reading  to  the  absolute 
exclusion  of  others.  In  these  cases  we  have  given  alter- 
native readings  in  the  margin,  wherever  they  seem  to  be 
of  sufficient  importance  or  interest  to  deserve  notice.  In 
the  introductory  formula,  the  phrases  '  many  ancient  au- 


thorities,' 'some  ancient  authorities,'  are  used  with  some 
latitude  to  denote  a  greater  or  lesser  proportion  of  those 
authorities  which  have  a  distinctive  right  to  be  called 
ancient.  These  ancient  authorities  comprise  not  only 
Greek  manuscripts,  some  of  which  were  written  in  the 
fourth  and  fifth  centuries,  but  versions  of  a  still  earlier 
date  in  different  languages,  and  also  quotations  by  Chris- 
tian writers  of  the  second  and  following  centuries. 

2.  We  pass  now  from  the  Text  to  the  Translation. 
The  character  of  the  Revision  was  determined  for  us  from 
the  outset  by  the  first  rule,  '  to  introduce  as  few  altera- 
tions as  possible,  consistently  with  faithfulness.'  Our 
task  was  revision,  not  re-translation. 

In  the  application  however  of  this  principle  to  the 
many  and  intricate  details  of  our  work,  we  have  found 
ourselves  constrained  by  faithfulness  to  introduce  changes 
which  might  not  at  first  sight  appear  to  be  included  under 
the  rule. 

The  alterations  which  we  have  made  in  the  Authorised 
Version  may  be  roughly  grouped  in  five  principal  classes. 
First,  alterations  positively  required  by  change  of  read- 
ing in  the  Greek  Text.  Secondly,  alterations  made 
where  the  Authorised  Version  appeared  either  to  be 
incorrect,  or  to  have  chosen  the  less  probable  of  two 
possible  renderings.  Thirdly,  alterations  of  obscure  or 
ambiguous  renderings  into  such  as  are  clear  and  express 
in  their  import.  For  it  has  been  our  principle  not  to 
leave  any  translation,  or  any  arrangement  of  words, 
which  could  adapt  itself  to  one  or  other  of  two  inter- 
pretations, but  rather  to  express  as  plainly  as  was 
possible  that  interpretation  which  seemed  best  to  de- 
serve a  place  in  the  text,  and  to  put  the  other  in  the 
margin. 

There  remain  yet  two  other  classes  of  alterations 
which  we  have  felt  to  be  required  by  the  same  principle 
of  faithfulness.  These  are, — Fourthly,  alterations  of  the 
Authorised  Version  in  cases  where  it  was  inconsistent 
with  itself  in  the  rendering  of  two  or  more  passages  con- 
fessedly alike  or  parallel.  Fifthly,  alterations  rendered 
necessary  hy  consequence,  that  is,  arising  out  of  changes 
already  made,  though  not  in  themselves  required  by  the 
general  rule  of  faithfulness.  Both  these  classes  of  alter- 
ations call  for  some  further  explanation. 

The  frequent  inconsistencies  in  the  Authorised  Ver- 
sion have  caused  as  much  embarrassment  from  the  fact 
already  referred  to,  namely,  that  a  studied  variety  of 
rendering,  even  in  the  same  chapter  and  context,  was  a 
kind  of  principle  with  our  predecessors,  and  was  defended 
by  them  on  grounds  that  have  been  mentioned  above. 
The  problem  we  had  to  solve  was  to  discriminate  between 
varieties  of  rendering  which  were  compatible  with  fidelity 
to  the  true  meaning  of  the  text,  and  varieties  which  in- 
volved inconsistency,  and  were  suggestive  of  differences 
that  had  no  existence  in  the  Greek.     This  problem  we 


RBVISERS'    PREKACB.

h&ve  solved  to  the  best  of  our  power  and  for  the  most 
part  in  the  following  way. 

Where  there  was  a  doubt  as  to  the  exact  shade  of 
meaning,  we  have  looked  to  the  context  for  guidance.  If 
the  meaning  was  fairly  expressed  by  the  word  or  phrase 
that  was  before  us  in  the  Authorised  Version,  we  made 
no  change,  even  where  rigid  adherence  to  the  rule  of 
translating,  as  far  as  possible,  the  same  Greek  word  by 
the  same  English  word  might  have  prescribed  some 
modification. 

There  are  however  numerous  passages  in  the  Author- 
ised Version  in  which,  whether  regard  be  had  to  the 
recurrence  (as  in  the  first  three  Gospels)  of  identical 
clauses  and  sentences,  to  the  repetition  of  the  same  word 
in  the  same  passage,  or  to  the  characteristic  use  of 
particular  words  by  the  same  writer,  the  studied  variety 
adopted  by  the  Translators  of  1611  has  produced  a  de- 
gree of  inconsistency  that  cannot  be  reconciled  with  the 
principle  of  faithfulness.  In  such  cases  we  have  not 
hesitated  to  introduce  alterations,  even  though  the  sense 
might  not  seem  to  the  general  reader  to  be  materially 
affected. 

The  last  class  of  alterations  is  that  which  we  have  de- 
scribed as  rendered  necessary  hy  consequence;  that  is, 
by  reason  of  some  foregoing  alteration.  The  cases  in 
which  these  consequential  changes  have  been  found  neces- 
sary are  numerous  and  of  very  different  kinds.  Some- 
times the  change  has  been  made  to  avoid  tautology ;  some- 
times to  obviate  an  unpleasing  alliteration  or  some  other 
infelicity  of  sound ;  sometimes,  in  the  case  of  smaller 
words,  to  preserve  the  familiar  rhythm ;  sometimes  for  a 
convergence  of  reasons  which,  when  explained,  would  at 
once  be  accepted,  but  until  so  explained  might  never  be 
surmised  even  by  intelligent  readers. 

This  may  be  made  plain  by  an  example.  When  a 
particular  word  is  found  to  recur  with  characteristic  fre- 
quency in  any  one  of  the  Sacred  Writers,  it  is  obviously 
desirable  to  adopt  for  it  some  uniform  rendering.  Again, 
where,  as  in  the  case  of  the  first  three  Evangelists,  pre- 
cisely the  same  clauses  or  sentences  are  found  in  more 
than  one  of  the  Gospels,  it  is  no  less  necessary  to  trans- 
late them  in  every  place  in  the  same  way.  These  two 
principles  may  be  illustrated  by  reference  to  a  word  that 
perpetually  recurs  in  St.  Mark's  Gospel,  and  that  may  be 
translated  either  *  straightway,'  '  forthwith,'  or  *  immedi- 
ately.' Let  it  be  supposed  that  the  first  rendering  is 
chosen,  and  that  the  word,  in  accordance  with  the  first  of 
the  above  principles,  is  in  that  Gospel  uniformly  trans- 
lated 'straightway.'  Let  it  be  further  supposed  that  one 
of  the  passages  of  St.  Mark  in  which  it  is  so  translated  is 
found,  word  for  word,  in  one  of  the  other  Gospels,  but 
that  there  the  rendering  of  the  Authorised  Version  hap- 
pens to  be  '  forthwith '  or  '  immediately.'  That  rendering 
must  be  changed  on  the  second  of  the  above  principles  ; 


and  yet  such  a  change  would  not  have  been  made  but  for 
this  concurrence  of  two  sound  principles,  and  the  conse- 
quent necessity  of  making  a  change  on  grounds  extraneous 
to  the  passag*^  itself. 

This  is  but  one  of  many  instances  of  consequential 
alterations  which  might  at  first  sight  appear  unnecessary, 
but  which  nevertheless  have  been  deliberately  made,  and 
are  not  at  variance  with  the  rule  of  introducing  as  few 
changes  in  the  Authorised  Version  as  faithfulness  would 
allow. 

There  are  some  other  points  of  detail  which  it  may  be 
here  convenient  to  notice.  One  of  these,  and  perhaps  the 
most  important,  is  the  rendering  of  the  Greek  aorist. 
There  are  numerous  cases,  especially  in  connexion  with 
particles  ordinarily  expressive  of  present  time,  in  which 
the  use  of  the  indefinite  past  tense  in  Greek  and  English 
is  altogether  different ;  and  in  such  instances  we  have  not 
attempted  to  violate  the  idiom  of  our  language  by  forms 
of  expression  which  it  could  not  bear.  But  we  have  often 
ventured  to  represent  the  Greek  aorist  by  the  English 
preterite,  even  where  the  reader  may  find  some  passing 
difficulty  in  such  a  rendering,  because  we  have  felt  con- 
vinced that  the  true  meaning  of  the  original  was  obscured 
by  the  presence  of  the  familiar  auxiliary.  A  remarkable 
illustration  may  be  found  in  the  seventeenth  chapter  of 
St.  John's  Gospel,  where  the  combination  of  the  aorist  and 
the  perfect  shews,  beyond  all  reasonable  doubt,  that  dif- 
ferent relations  of  time  were  intended  to  be  expressed. 

Changes  of  translation  will  also  be  found  in  connexion 
with  the  aorist  participle,  arising  from  the  fact  that  the 
usual  periphrasis  of  this  participle  in  the  Vulgate,  which 
was  rendered  necessary  by  Latin  idiom,  has  been  largely 
reproduced  in  the  Authorised  Version  by  '  when'  with  the 
past  tense  (as  for  example  in  the  second  chapter  of  St. 
Matthew's  Gospel),  even  where  the  ordinary  participial 
rendering  would  have  been  easier  and  more  natural  in 
English. 

In  reference  to  the  perfect  and  the  imperfect  tenses 
but  little  needs  to  be  said.  The  correct  translation  of  the 
former  has  been  for  the  most  part,  though  with  some 
striking  exceptions,  maintained  in  the  Authorised  Ver- 
sion :  while  with  regard  to  the  imperfect,  clear  as  its 
meaning  may  be  in  the  Greek,  the  power  of  expressing  it 
is  so  limited  in  English,  that  we  have  been  frequently 
compelled  to  leave  the  force  of  the  tense  to  be  inferred 
from  the  context.  In  a  few  instances,  where  faithfulness 
imperatively  required  it,  and  especially  where,  in  the 
Greek,  the  significance  of  the  imperfect  tense  seemed  to 
be  additionally  marked  by  the  use  of  the  participle  with 
the  auxiliary  verb,  we  have  introduced  the  corresponding 
form  in  English.  Still,  in  the  great  majority  of  cases  we 
have  been  obliged  to  retain  the  English  preterite,  and  to 
rely  either  on  slight  changes  in  the  order  of  the  words,  or 
on  prominence  given  to  the  accompanying  temporal  parti-

clea,  for  the  inxliGation  of  tlie  meaning  wiiich,  in  the 
Greek,  the  imperfect  tense  was  designed  to  convey. 

On  other  points  of  grammar  it  may  be  snfficient  to 
speak  more  briefly. 

Many  changes,  as  might  be  anticipated,  have  been 
made  in  the  case  of  the  definite  article.  Here  again  it 
was  necessary  to  consider  the  peculiarities  of  English 
idiom,  as  well  as  the  general  tenor  of  each  passage.  Some- 
times we  have  felt  it  enough  to  prefix  the  article  to  the 
first  of  a  series  of  words  to  all  of  which  it  is  pre- 
fixed in  the  Greek,  and  thus,  as  it  were,  to  impart 
the  idea  of  definiteness  to  the  whole  series,  without 
running  the  risk  of  overloading  the  sentence.  Some- 
times, conversely,  we  have  had  to  tolerate  the  presence 
of  the  definite  article  in  our  Version,  when  it  is  absent 
from  the  Greek,  and  perhaps  not  even  grammatically 
latent;  simply  because  English  idiom  would  not  allow 
the  noun  to  stand  alone,  and  because  the  introduction  of 
the  indefinite  article  might  have  introduced  an  idea  of 
oneness  or  individuality,  which  was  not  in  any  degree 
traceable  in  the  original.  In  a  word,  we  have  been  care- 
ful to  observe  the  use  of  the  article  wherever  it  seemed 
to  be  idiomatically  possible :  where  it  did  not  seem  to  be 
possible,  we  have  yielded  to  necessity. 

As  to  the  pronouns  and  the  place  they  occupy  in  the 
sentence,  a  subject  often  overlooked  by  our  predecessors, 
we  have  been  particularly  careful;  but  here  again  we 
have  frequently  been  baffled  by  structural  or  idiomatical 
peculiarities  of  the  English  language  which  precluded 
changes  otherwise  desirable. 

In  the  case  of  the  particles  we  have  met  with  less 
difficulty,  and  have  been  able  to  maintain  a  reasonable 
amount  of  consistency.  The  particles  in  the  Greek  Testa- 
ment are,  as  is  well  known,  comparatively  few,  and  they 
are  commonly  used  with  precision.  It  has  therefore  been 
the  more  necessary  here  to  preserve  a  general  uniformity 
of  rendering,  especially  in  the  case  of  the  particles  of 
causality  and  inference,  so  far  as  English  idiom  would 
allow. 

Lastly,  many  changes  have  been  introduced  in  the 
rendering  of  the  prepositions,  especially  where  ideas  of 
instrumentality  or  of  mediate  agency,  distinctly  marked 
in  the  original,  had  been  confused  or  obscured  in  the 
translation.  We  have,  however,  borne  in  mind  the  com- 
prehensive character  of  such  prepositions  as  'of*  and 
'  by,'  the  one  in  reference  to  agency  and  the  other  in 
reference  to  means,  especially  in  the  English  of  the 
seventeenth  century ;  and  have  rarely  made  any  change 
where  the  true  meaning  of  the  original  as  expressed  in 
the  Authorised  Version  would  be  apparent  to  a  reader 
of  ordinary  intelligence. 

3.  We  now  come  to  the  subject  of  Language. 

The  second  of  the  rules,  by  which  the  work  has  been 
governed,  prescribed  that  the  alterations  to  be  introduced 


should  be  expressed,  as  far  as  possible,  in  the  language 
of  the  Authorised  Version  or  of  the  Versions  that  pre- 
ceded it. 

To  this  rule  we  have  faithfully  adhered.  We  have 
habitually  consulted  the  earlier  Versions ;  and  in  our 
sparing  introduction  of  words  not  found  in  them  or  in 
the  Authorised  Version  we  have  usually  satisfied  our- 
selves that  such  words  were  employed  by  standard 
writers  of  nearly  the  same  date,  and  had  also  that  gen- 
eral hue,  which  justified  their  introduction  into  a  Version 
which  has  held  the  highest  place  in  the  classical  litera- 
ture of  our  language.  We  have  never  removed  any 
archaisms,  whether  in  structure  or  in  words,  except 
where  we  were  persuaded  either  that  the  meaning  of  the 
words  was  not  generally  understood,  or  that  the  nature 
of  the  expression  led  to  some  misconception  of  the  true 
sense  of  the  passage.  The  frequent  inversions  of  the 
strict  order  of  the  words,  which  add  much  to  the  strength 
and  variety  of  the  Authorised  Version,  and  give  an  archaic 
colour  to  many  felicities  of  diction,  have  been  seldom 
modified.  Indeed,  we  have  often  adopted  the  same  ar- 
rangement in  our  own  alterations ;  and  in  this,  as  in 
other  particulars,  we  have  sought  to  assimilate  the  new 
work  to  the  old. 

In  a  few  exceptional  cases  we  have  failed  to  find  any 
word  in  the  older  stratum  of  our  language  that  appeared 
to  convey  the  precise  meaning  of  the  original.  There, 
and  there  only,  we  have  used  words  of  a  later  date ;  but 
not  without  having  first  assured  ourselves  that  they  are 
to  be  found  in  the  writings  of  the  best  authors  of  the 
period  to  which  they  belong. 

In  regard  of  Proper  Names  no  rule  was  prescribed  to 
us.  In  the  case  of  names  of  frequent  occurrence  we  have 
deemed  it  best  to  follow  generally  the  rule  laid  down  for 
our  predecessors.  That  rule,  it  may  be  remembered, 
was  to  this  effect,  '  The  names  of  the  prophets  and  the 
holy  writers,  with  the  other  names  of  the  text,  to  be  re- 
tained, as  nigh  as  may  be,  accordingly  as  they  were 
vulgarly  used.*  Some  difficulty  has  been  felt  in  dealing 
with  names  less  familiarly  known.  Here  our  general 
practice  has  been  to  follow  the  Greek  form  of  names, 
except  in  the  case  of  persons  and  places  mentioned  in 
the  Old  Testament:  in  this  case  we  have  followed  the 
Hebrew. 

4.  The  subject  of  the  Marginal  Notes  deserves  special 
attention.  They  represent  the  results  of  a  large  amount 
of  careful  and  elaborate  discussion,  and  will,  perhaps,  by 
their  very  presence,  indicate  to  some  extent  the  intricacy 
of  many  of  the  questions  that  have  almost  daily  come 
before  us  for  decision.  These  Notes  fall  into  four  main 
groups  :  first,  notes  specifying  such  differences  of  read- 
ing as  were  judged  to  be  of  sufficient  importance  to  re- 
quire a  particular  notice  ;  secondly,  notes  indicating  the 
exact  rendering  of  words  to  which,  for  the  sako  of  English 


RKVISERS'    PREKACE. 


1035 


idiom,  we  were  obliged  to  give  a  less  exact  rendering  in 
the  text;  thirdly,  notes,  very  few  in  number,  affording 
some  explanation  which  the  original  seemed  to  require; 
fourthly,  alternative  renderings  in  difficult  or  debatable 
passages.  The  notes  of  this  last  group  are  numerous, 
and  largely  in  excess  of  those  which  were  admitted  by 
our  predecessors.  In  the  270  years  that  have  passed 
away  since  their  labours  were  concluded,  the  Sacred  Text 
has  been  minutely  examined,  discussed  in  every  detail, 
and  analysed  with  a  grammatical  precision  unknown  in 
the  days  of  the  last  Revision.  There  has  thus  been  ac- 
cumulated a  large  amount  of  materials  that  have  prepared 
the  way  for  different  renderings,  which  necessarily  came 
under  discussion.  We  have  therefore  placed  before  the 
reader  in  the  margin  other  renderings  than  those  which 
were  adopted  in  the  text,  wherever  such  renderings 
seemed  to  deserve  consideration.  The  rendering  in  the 
text,  where  it  agrees  with  the  Authorised  Version,  was 
supported  by  at  least  one  third,  and,  where  it  differs  from 
the  Authorised  Version,  by  at  least  two  thirds  of  those 
who  were  present  at  the  second  revision  of  the  passage 
in  question. 

A  few  supplementary  matters  have  yet  to  be  men- 
tioned. These  may  be  thus  enumerated, — the  use  of 
Italics,  the  arrangement  into  Paragraphs,  the  mode  of 
printing  Quotations  from  the  Poetical  Books  of  the  Old 
Testament,  the  Punctuation,  and,  last  of  all,  the  Titles  of 
the  different  Books  that  make  up  the  New  Testament, — 
all  of  them  particulars  on  which  it  seems  desirable  to  add 
a  few  explanatory  remarks. 

(a)  The  determination,  in  each  place,  of  the  words  to 
be  printed  in  italics  has  not  been  by  any  means  easy ; 
nor  can  we  hope  to  be  found  in  all  cases  perfectly  con- 
sistent. In  the  earliest  editions  of  the  Authorised  Ver- 
sion the  use  of  a  different  type  to  indicate  supplementary 
words  not  contained  in  the  original  was  not  very  frequent, 
and  cannot  easily  be  reconciled  with  any  settled  principle. 
A  review  of  the  words  so  printed  was  made,  after  a 
lapse  of  some  years,  for  the  editions  of  the  Authorised 
Version  published  at  Cambridge  in  1629  and  1638. 
Further,  though  slight,  modifications  were  introduced  at 
intervals. between  1638  and  the  more  systematic  revisions 
undertaken  respectively  by  Dr.  Paris  in  the  Cambridge 
Edition  of  1762,  and  by  Dr.  Blayney  in  the  Oxford 
Edition  of  1769.  None  of  them  however  rest  on  any 
higher  authority  than  that  of  the  persons  who  from  time 
to  time  superintended  the  publication.  The  last  attempt  to 
bring  the  use  of  italics  into  uniformity  and  consistency 
was  made  by  Dr.  Scrivener  in  the  Paragraph  Bible  pub- 
lished at  Cambridge  in  1870-73.  In  succeeding  to  these 
labours,  we  have  acted  on  the  general  principle  of  print- 
ing in  italics  words  which  did  not  appear  to  be  neces- 
sarily involved  in  the  Greek.     Our  tendency  has  been  to 


diminish  rather  than  to  increase  the  amount  of  italic 
printing ;  though,  in  the  case  of  difference  of  readings,  we 
have  usually  marked  the  absence  of  any  words  in  the 
original  which  the  sense  might  nevertheless  require  to  be 
present  in  the  Version ;  and  again,  in  the  case  of  inserted 
pronouns,  where  the  reference  did  not  appear  to  be  per- 
fectly certain,  we  have  similarly  had  recourse  to  italics. 
Some  of  these  cases,  especially  when  there  are  slight  dif- 
ferences of  reading,  are  of  singular  intricacy,  and  make  it 
impossible  to  maintain  rigid  uniformity. 

(b)  We  have  arranged  the  Sacred  Text  in  paragraphs, 
after  the  precedent  of  the  earliest  English  Versions,  so 
as  to  assist  the  general  reader  in  following  the  current 
of  narrative  or  argument.  The  present  arrangement  will 
be  found,  we  trust,  to  have  preserved  the  due  mean  be- 
tween a  system  of  long  portions  which  must  often  include 
several  separate  topics,  and  a  system  of  frequent  breaks 
which,  though  they  may  correctly  indicate  the  separate 
movements  of  thought  in  the  writer,  often  seriously  im- 
pede a  just  perception  of  the  true  continuity  of  the 
passage.  The  traditional  division  into  chapters,  which 
the  Authorised  Version  inherited  from  Latin  Bibles  of 
the  later  middle  ages,  is  an  illustration  of  the  former 
method.  These  paragraphs,  for  such  in  fact  they  are, 
frequently  include  several  distinct  subjects.  Moreover 
they  sometimes,  though  rarely,  end  where  there  is  no 
sufficient  break  in  the  sense.  The  division  of  chapters 
into  verses,  which  was  introduced  into  the  New  Testa- 
ment for  the  first  time  in  1551,  is  an  exaggeration  of  the 
hitter  method,  with  its  accompanying  inconveniences. 
The  serious  obstacles  to  the  right  understanding  of  Holy 
Scripture,*which  are  interposed  by  minute  subdivision, 
iire  often  overlooked ;  but  if  any  one  will  consider  for  a 
moment  the  injurious  effect  that  would  be  produced  by 
breaking  up  a  portion  of  some  great  standard  work  into 
separate  verses,  he  will  at  once  perceive  how  necessary  has 
been  an  alteration  in  this  particular.  The  arrangement 
by  chapters  and  verses  undoubtedly  affords  facilities  for 
reference :  but  this  advantage  we  have  been  able  to  retain 
by  placing  the  numerals  on  the  inside  margin  of  each  page. 

(c)  A  few  words  will  suffice  as  to  the  mode  of  printing 
quotations  from  the  Poetical  Books  of  the  Old  Testament. 
Wherever  the  quotjition  extends  to  two  or  more  lines, 
our  practice  has  been  to  recognise  the  parallelism  of  their 
structure  by  arranging  the  lines  in  a  manner  that  appears 
to  agree  with  the  metrical  divisions  of  the  Hebrew 
original.  Such  an  arrangement  will  be  found  helpful  to 
the  reader ;  not  only  as  directing  his  attention  to  the 
poetical  character  of  the  quotation,  but  as  also  tending  to 
make  its  force  and  pertinence  more  fully  felt.  We  have 
treated  in  the  same  way  the  hymns  in  the  first  two 
chapters  of  the  Gospel  according  to  St.  Luke. 

(d)  Great  care  has  been  bestowed  on  the  punctuation. 
Our  practice  has  been   to   maintain  what  is   sometimes

called  til®  heavier  system  of  stopping,  or,  in  other  words, 
that  system  which,  especially  for  convenience  in  reading 
aloud,  suggests  such  pauses  as  will  best  ensure  a  clear  and 
intelligent  setting  forth  of  the  true  meaning  of  the  words. 
This  course  has  rendered  necessary,  especially  in  the 
Epistles,  a  larger  use  of  colons  and  semicolons  than  is 
customary  in  modern  English  printing. 

(e)  We  may  in  the  last  place  notice  one  particular  to 
which  we  were  not  expressly  directed  to  extend  our  re- 
vision, namely,  the  titles  of  the  Books  of  the  New  Testa- 
ment. These  titles  are  no  part  of  the  original  text;  and 
the  titles  found  in  the  most  ancient  manuscripts  are  of  too 
short  a  form  to  be  convenient  for  use.  Under  these  cir- 
cumstances, we  have  deemed  it  best  to  leave  unchanged 
the  titles  which  are  given  in  the  Authorised  Version  as 
printed  in  1611. 

We  now  conclude,  humbly  commending  our  labours  to 
Almighty  God,  and  praying  that  his  favour  and  blessing 
may  be  vouchsafed  to  that  which  has  been  done  in  his 
name.  We  recognised  from  the  first  the  responsibility  of 
the  undertaking ;  and  through  our  manifold  experience  of 
its  abounding  difficulties  we  have  felt,  more  and  more,  as 
we  went  onv?ar'd,  that  such  a  work  can  never  be  accom- 
plished by  organized  efforts  of  scholarship  and  criticism, 
unless  assisted  by  Divine  help. 

We  know  full  well  that  defects  must  have  their  place 
in  a  work  so  long  and  so  arduous  as  this  which  has  nov.

come  to  an  end.  Blemishes  and  imperfections  there  are 
in  the  noble  Translation  which  we  have  been  called  upon 
to  revise ;  blemishes  and  imperfections  will  assuredly  be 
found  in  our  own  Revision.  All  endeavours  to  translate 
the  Holy  Scriptures  into  another  tongue  must  fall  short 
of  their  aim,  when  the  obligation  is  imposed  of  produc- 
ing a  Version  that  shall  be  alike  literal  and  idiomatic, 
faithful  to  each  thought  of  the  original,  and  yet,  in  the 
expression  of  it,  harmonious  and  free.  While  we  dare  to 
hope  that  in  places  not  a  few  of  the  New  Testament  the 
introduction  of  slight  changes  has  cast  a  new  light  upon 
much  that  was  difficult  and  obscure,  we  cannot  forget  how 
often  we  have  failed  in  expressing  some  finer  shade  of 
meaning  which  we  recognized  in  the  original,  how  often 
idiom  has  stood  in  the  way  of  a  perfect  rendering,  and 
how  often  the  attempt  to  preserve  a  familiar  form  of 
words,  or  even  a  familiar  cadence,  has  only  added  another 
perplexity  to  those  which  already  beset  us. 

Thus,  in  the  review  of  the  work  which  we  have  been 
permitted  to  complete,  our  closing  words  must  be  words 
of  mingled  thanksgiving,  humility,  and  prayer.  Of 
thanksgiving,  for  the  many  blessings  vouchsafed  to  us 
throughout  the  unbroken  progress  of  our  corporate 
labours;  of  humility,  for  our  failings  and  imperfections 
in  the  fulfilment  of  our  task ;  and  of  prayer  to  Almighty 
God,  that  the  Gospel  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus 
Christ  may  be  more  clearly  and  more  freshly  shewn  forth 
to  all  who  shall  be  readers  of  this  Book.

HISTORY  OF  HEROD,  KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 


By  Rev  G.  F.  Maclear,  D.D. 


?' 


A  NTIPATER  appointed  hig  eldest  son,  Phasael,  Governor  of  Judsea, 

/\  and  conferred  the  tetrarchy  of  Galilee  on  his  youngst  son,  Herod. 
'^  Of  the  two  sons  thus  appointed  to  prominent  positions,  the  younger, 
Herod,  soon  began  to  display  uncommon  abilities,  and  the  most  unbounded 
ambition.  Though  only  twenty-five  years  of  age,  the  new  governor  of 
Galilee  turned  his  energies  at  once  to  the  efficient  management  of  his 
province.  Numerous  robber-bands,  which  infested  the  confines  of  Syria, 
were  resolutely  attacked ;  their  chief,  Hezekiaa,  was  put  to  death,  and 
security  was  restored.  Such  decision  won  the  praises  of  multitudes  in  the 
towns  and  cities  of  Syria. 

Two  years  later,  B.  c.  44,  Caesar  was  assassinated  at  Kome,  and  Antipater 
addressed  himself  to  the  task  of  meeting  the  new  situation,  unexpected 
even  by  his  sagacity.  Cassius,  the  chief  conspirator  in  the  murder  of 
Caesar,  became  pro-consul  of  Syria,  and  arriving  in  Judaea,  enlibrced  upon 
the  country  the  enormous  tribute  of  seven  hundred  talents  of  silver. 
Antipater  commissioned  Herod  to  collect  the  quota  from  Galilee,  while 
Malichus,  a  powerful  Jew,  and  an  adherent  of  Hyrcanus,  was  directed  to 
obtain  the  rest.  Herod,  with  characteristic  energy,  employed  himself  in 
raising  two  hundred  talents  for  Galilee,  and  so  gained  the  favour  of  Cassius, 
while  the  people  of  Lydda,  Gophna,  and  Emmaus,  being  backward  in 
their  contributions,  were  sold  into  slavery ;  but  so  incensed  was  the  pro- 
consul at  Malichus  for  his  dilatoriness,  that  he  would  have  put  him  to 
death,  had  it  not  been  for  the  intervention  of  Antipater,  who  advanced 
one  hundred  talents  on  his  account.  Herod  was  now  confirmed  in  the 
government  of  Coele-Syria,  and  Cassius  even  promised  him  the  kingdom 
of  Judsea,  if  the  arms  of  the  Republic  proved  triumphant. 

An  unexpected  power  appeared  in  the  country,  and  Judaea  became  the 
victim  cf  the  strife  for  empire  between  Eome  and  Parthia.  While 
Antonius  was  wasting  his  time  in  the  society  of  Cleopatra,  Queen  of 
Egypt,  the  Parthians,  under  Pacorus,  having  been  bribed  by  Antigonus, 
advanced  through  Syria,  and  made  themselves  masters  of  Sidon,  Ptolemais, 
and  all  the  coast  except  Tyre.  Hence  a  division  of  the  Parthian  forces 
marched  against  Jerusalem,  and  their  leader,  admitted  within  the  walls, 
roposed  to  act  as  umpire  between  the  rival  claimants  for  the  throne  of 
ua«a. 

Meanwhile  the  Parthians  had  obtained  possession  of  Jerusalem. 
Antigonus  was  made  king,  and  Hyrcanus  and  Phasael  were  delivered  into 
his  power.  The  latter,  knowing  his  death  was  certain,  beat  out  his  brains 
against  the  walls  of  his  prison.  Thus  Jerusalem  was  left  in  the  hands  of 
a  foreign  army,  who  committed  the  greatest  excesses. 

Herod  in  the  meantime  had  not  oeen  idle.  On  arriving  at  Rome  he 
found  Antonius  at  the  summit  of  power.  The  triumvir  received  him  with 
the  utmost  distinction,  and  introduced  him  to  Octavius,  who  at  once  re- 
called the  services  which  the  Idumean  had  rendered  to  the  great  Julius. 
A  Parthian  campaign  was  at  this  time  being  diligently  planned  by  An- 
tonius, and  he  found  in  Herod  a  useful  ally.  Within  seven  days,  therefore, 
he  procured  a  decree  of  the  senate,  nominating  him  king  of  Judaea,  and 
Herod,  successful  beyond  his  most  sanguine  hopes,  walked  in  procession 
between  Octavius  and  Antonius,  preceded  by  the  consuls  and  other  magis- 
trates, to  the  Capitol,  where  the  usual  sacrifices  were  ofiered,  and  the 
decree  investing  him  with  royal  power  was  enrolled. 

Herod  did  not  remain  long  at  Eome.  Everything  depended  on  the 
celerity  of  his  movements.  The  close  of  thts  week,  therefore,  saw  him 
appointed  king,  and  hurrying  to  Brundusium.  Thence  he  took  ship  for 
Ptolemais,  ana  arrived  there  after  an  absence  of  barely  three  months. 
Collecting  a  body  of  troops,  he  speedily  won  over  all  Galilee,  where  the 
recollection  of  his  energy  as  governor  was  still  fresh.  Then  he  set  out  to 
attack  Antigonus,  who  had  unsuccessfully  laid  siege  to  MasMa,  in  the 
hope  of  obtaining  possession  of  Mariamne.  Joppa  next  fell  into  his  hands ; 
and  having  raised  the  siege  of  Masada,  and  liberated  his  relatives,  he 
proceeded,  in  conjunction  with  the  Roman  general  Silo,  to  lay  siege  to 
Jerusalem,  b.  c.  37,  and  recommenced  the  siege,  aided  by  Sosius,  at  the 
head  of  50,000  troops. 

But  his  progress  was  still  slow.  Forty  days  were  spent  in  taking  the 
first  wall,  fifteen  in  taking  the  second.  Then  the  outer  court  of  the  Temple 
and  the  lower  city  w'ere  reduced.  At  last  the  signal  for  the  assault  was 
given,  and  an  indiscriminate  massacre  ensued.  Multitudes  were  cut  down 
in  the  narrow  streets,  many  more  while  crowded  together  in  their  houses. 
The  fury  of  the  legions  was  roused,  and  the  massacre  was  only  stayed  by 
the  repeated  solicitations  of  Herod,  who  stood  with  a  drawn  sword  before 
the  entrance  of  the  Holy  of  Holies,  and  threatened  to  cut  down  any  one 
of  the  Roman  soldiers  who  attempted  to  enter. 

Herod  had  now  attained  the  highest  object  of  his  ambition.  By  Roman 
aid,  and  under  the  influence  of  Roman  supremacy,  he  had  become  sole 
ruler  of  Palestine,  and  he  maintained  his  power  unchallenged  until  his 
death.  The  eventful  year,  B.C.  31,  was  drawing  on.  The  rival  potentates 
of  Judaea  and  Egypt  had  long  been  watching  and  fencing  with  each  other, 
when  the  battle  of  Actium  ended  all  their  intrigues,  and  both  found  them- 
selves obliged  to  petition  for  existence  from  the  conqueror.  Herod  had 
raised  a  body  of  troops  to  assist  Antonius,  but  the  designs  of  Cleopatra 
had  involved  him  in  a  wax  with  Malchus,  an  Arabian  prince.    In  the  first 


campaign  he  had  been  signally  defeated,  owing  to  the  unwillingness  of  tlM 
Jews  to  undertake  a  war  against  a  nation  with  whom  they  had  no  quarrel. 
But  in  the  spring  of  B.C.  31,  a  sudden  earthquake  convulsed  the  cities  of 
southern  Palestine,  and  the  Arabs,  taking  advantage  of  the  constematioUj 
slew  the  Jewish  ambassadors  who  had  come  to  treat  for  peace.  The  news 
of  their  barbarity  roused  the  whole  people,  and  enabled  Herod  to  win  a 
decisive  victory  over  his  foes  at  Philadelphia,  and  to  gain  something  like 
popular  favour  from  his  subjects.  Thus,  successful  beyond  all  his  expec- 
tations, Herod  returned  to  Jerusalem  with  greater  power  secured  to  nim 
than  he  had  ever  enjoyed  before. 

Herod's  return  to  his  capital  was  the  signal  for  fresh  cruelties.  The 
secret  orders  entrusted  to  the  guardian  of  Mariamne  had  been  a  second 
time  divulged;  "she  persisted  in  refusing  the  monarch's  afiection,  and  re- 
proached him  bitterly  with  his  cruelty  towards  her  family.  At  length, 
carried  away  by  rage  and  jealousy,  Herod  executed  not  only  Mariamne'a 
guardian,  Soemus,  but  his  queen  herself.  Mariamne  submitted  to  the  axe 
of  the  executioner  with  calmness  and  intrepidity,  B.  c.  29,  and  showed  her- 
self in  death  worthy  of  the  noble  race  of  which  she  camt-  The  horrible 
reality  of  the  deed,  and  a  sense  of  his  own  loss,  wrung  his  spirit  to  mad< 
ness.  It  was  long  before  he  recovered  ftilly  from  the  mental  derangement 
which  came  on. 

By  the  tribute  he  paid  to  Rome  year  by  year  he  acknowledged  the 
tenure  on  which  he  held  his  power.  He  filled  Jerusalem  with  edifices 
built  in  the  Greek  taste.  He  inaugurated  public  exhibitions,  and  spectacle* 
of  all  kinds.  A  theatre  rose  within,  an  amphitheatre  without,  the  walls 
of  Jerusalem.  Quinquennial  games  were  celebrated  on  a  scale  of  the 
utmost  magnificence.  Shows  of  gladiators  and  combats  of  wild  beast* 
were  exhibited  within  the  City  of  David  itself. 

He  had  already  built  two  castles  in  the  southern  part  of  Jerusalem, 
erected  a  palace  on  the  impregnable  hill  of  Sion,  restored  and  enlarged  the 
Baris,  ana  called  it  Antonia,  in  memory  of  his  former  patron.  He  now 
converted  other  places  into  strong  fortresses.  South-western  Galilee 
needed  a  defence  against  Phoenicia,  and  his  kingdom  required  a  naval 
harbour  and  a  maritime  city.  Thirty  miles  south  of  Mount  Carmel  a  con- 
venient point  offered  itself  for  the  latter  purpose,  at  a  spot  called  Strato's 
Tower.  This  he  converted  into  a  magnificent  city,  called  Caesarea,  with  a 
harbour  equal  in  size  to  the  Piraeus  at  Athens.  West  of  Mount  Tabor  he 
built  Gabatha;  east  of  the  Jordan  he  fortified  the  ancient  Heshbon ;  while 
Samaria,  which  had  been  destroyed  by  John  Hyrcanus,  rose  once  more 
from  its  ruins,  not  only  considerably  increased,  but  also  adorned  with  a 
new  and  magnificent  temple,  and  called  Sebaste  or  Augusta,  in  honour  of 
the  Roman  Emperor. 

While  thus  rebuilding  the  ruined  cities  of  his  kingdom,  Herod  re- 
peatedly endeavoured,  by  acts  of  munificence  and  liberality,  to  conciliate 
the  good-will  of  his  subjects.  Thus,  when  in  B.  c.  24,  the  crops  in  Palestine 
failed  for  the  second  time,  he  not  only  opened  his  own  private  stores,  but 
sent  to  Petronius,  the  Roman  governor  of  Egypt,  a  personal  friend,  and 
obtained  permission  to  export  corn  from  that  country,  with  which  he  not 
only  supplied  the  wants  of  his  own  people,  but  was  even  able  to  send  seed 
into  Syria.  In  this  way,  and  by  remitting  more  than  once  a  great  part  of 
the  heavy  taxation,  he  earned  for  himself  general  gratitude,  both  from  hia 
heathen  and  Jewish  subjects. 

At  length  he  resolved  to  take  a  step  which  should  ingratiate  himself 
with  all  classes.  He  determined  to  rival  Solomon,  and  rebuild  the  Temple. ' 
Since  the  restoration  of  the  second  Temple  by  Zorobabel,  that  structure 
had  fallen  in  many  places  into  ruin,  and  had  suffered  much  during  the 
recent  wars.  He  announced  his  intention,  about  the  year  B.  c.  20,  on  the 
occasion  of  the  Feast  of  the  Passover.  But  his  proposition  roused  the 
greatest  mistrust,  and  he  found  himself  obliged  to  proceed  with  the  utmost 
caution,  and  to  use  every  means  to  allay  suspicion.  Two  years  were  spent 
in  bringing  together  the  materials,  and  vast  preparations  were  made  before 
a  single  stone  of  the  old  building  was  touched.  At  last,  in  the  year  b.  c. 
18,  the  foundations  of  the  Temple  of  Zorobabel  were  removed,  and  on 
those  laid  centuries  before  by  Solomon,  the  new  pile  arose,  built  of  hard 
white  stones  of  enormous  size.  Eighteen  months  were  spent  in  building 
the  Porch,  the  Holy  Place,  and  the  Holy  of  Holies.  Eight  years  more 
elapsed  before  the  courts  and  cloisters  and  other  extensive  and  splendid 
buildings  around  the  sacred  structure  were  completed. 

On  the  highest  level  of  the  rocky  platform  of  Moriah  rose  the  Naos,  ot 
Temple  proper,  erected  solely  by  priestly  hands,  divided,  as  in  the  days  of 
Solomon,  into  a  Holy  Place  and  a  Holy  of  Holies  by  a  veil  or  curtain  of 
the  finest  work.  "  No  figures,  no  sculpture,  as  in  Persian  and  Egyptian 
temples,  adorned  the  front.  Golden  vines  and  clusters  of  grapes,  the 
typical  plant  and  fruit  of  Israel,  ran  along  the  wall;  and  the  greater  and 
lesser  lights  of  heaven  were  wrought  into  the  texture  of  the  veil.  The 
whole  fayade  was  covered  with  plates  of  gold,  which,  when  the  «un  shone 
upon  them  in  the  early  day,  sent  back  his  rays  with  an  added  glory,  so  great 
that  gazers  standing  on  Olivet  had  to  shade  their  eyes  when  turning 
towards  the  Temple  mount." 

The  pavement  was  inlaid  with  marble  of  many  colours.  The  most 
beautiful  gateways  led  into  this  court,  of  great  height,  and  ornamented

wiA  the  utmost  skill.  One  of  these,  on  the  eastern  side,  looking  towards 
the  Mount  of  Olives,  was  known  as  "Solomon's  Porch;"  close  by  it  was 
another,  the  pride  of  the  Temple  area,  as  one  writer  says,  "more  like  the 
gopura  of  an  Indian  temple  than  anything  we  are  acquainted  with  in 
architecture."  This,  in  all  probability,  was  the  one  called  the  "  Beautiful 
Gate"  in  the  New  Testament. 

The  Sanctuary  was  completed  in  the  year  B.  c.  16,  the  anniversary  of 
Herod's  inauguration,  and  was  celebrated  with  a  magnificent  feast  and  the 
most  lavish  sacrifices.  Immediately  afterwards  Herod  undertook  a  jour- 
ney to  Eome  to  fetch  home  his  two  sons,  Alexander  and  Aristobulus.  He 
was  received  with  every  mark  of  attention  by  Augustus,  and  returned  to 
his  capital  about  the  spring  of  B.  C.  15.  Agrippa  was  now  on  a  visit  to 
Asia,  to  inspect  these  provinces  of  the  empire  for  his  master.  Herod 
thereupon  invited  him  to  visit  Judtea.  Agrippa  consented,  and  escorted 
by  Herod,  passed  through  big  new  cities  of  Sebaste  and  Csesarea. 

Eetuming  from  Asia  Minor,  b.  c.  14,  Herod  landed  at  his  new  port  of 
Csesarea,  and  proceeding  to  Jerusalem,  recounted  the  privileges  he  had 
secured  for  the  nation,  and  remitted  a  fourth  of  the  yeiw's  tribute.  It 
might  have  been  hoped  that  the  close  of  his  reign  would  make  some  atone- 
ment for  the  atrocities  of  earlier  years;  but  a  scene  of  bloodshed  was  now 
to  be  enacted  far  more  awful  than  any  which  had  darkened  his  reign,  as 
if  to  show  that  the  "spirit  of  the  injured  Mariamne  hovered  over  Herod's 
devoted  house,  and,  involving  the  innocent  as  well  as  the  guilty  in  the 
common  ruin,  designated  the  dwelling  of  her  murderous  husband  as  the 
perpetual  scene  of  misery  and  bloodshed." 

On  the  return  of  the  young  princes,  Alexander  and  Aristobulus,  they 
were  received  by  the  populace  with  the  utmost  enthusiasm,  in  spite  of  their 
education  in  a  foreign  land.  Their  grace  and  beauty,  their  engaging  man- 
ners, above  all  their  descent  from  the  ancient  Asmonean  line,  made  them 
objects  of  hope  and  joy  on  the  part  of  the  nation.  But  the  keenest  hatred 
of  Pherdras  and  Salome  was  now  aroused,  and  they  began  to  whisper  into 
Herod's  ear  that  the  young  men  were  bent  on  avenging  their  mother's 
death.  The  king  had  given  them  in  marriage,  Alexander  to  Galphyra, 
the  daughter  of  Archelaus,  king  of  Cappadocia;  Aristobulus  to  Mariamne, 
a  daughter  of  Salome.  Proud  of  the  popularity  his  sons  had  acquired, 
Herod  for  some  time  refused  to  attach  any  credence  to  these  vile  insinu- 
ations. At  length  he  adopted  an  expedient  which  led  to  the  most 
disastrous  results.  By  an  earlier  wife,  named  Doris,  he  had  a  son  Anti- 
pater.  After  his  alliance  with  the  Asmonean  princess  he  had  put  Doris 
away.  Now  he  recalled  her  and  her  son,  and  made  the  young  man  a  sort 
of  spy  over  his  two  step-brothers.  Cunning,  ambitious,  and  unscrupulous, 
Antipater  threw  himself  heart  and  soul  into  all  the  plots  of  Pher6ras  and 
Salome,  and  continued  to  make  the  two  princes  objects  of  more  and  more 
suspicion  to  their  father. 

'The  arrival  at  Jerusalem  of  Archelaus,  king  of  Cappadocia,  and  father- 
in-law  of  Alexander,  caused  a  temporary  lull.  This  monarch  succeeded 
in  reinstating  the  young  prince  in  his  father's  favour;  but  the  reconciliation 
was  only  on  the  surface.  His  brother  Pherdras,  Salome,  and,  worst  of  all, 
Antipater,  again  filled  Herod's  mind  with  apprehensions  and  suspicions, 
and  he  determined  once  more  to  seek  the  advice  of  Augustus.  Accord- 
ingly he  set  out  for  Rome  in  b.  c.  8,  and  preferred  his  complaints  against 
his  sons  before  the  emperor.  Augustus  advised  that  he  should  hold  a 
court  of  arbitration,  and  recommended  Berytus,  in  Phoenicia,  as  the  place 
of  meeting.  There  one  hundred  and  fifty  princes  therefore  assembled 
together,  with  Saturninus  and  Volumnius,  the  prefects  of  Syria.  Before 
this  tribunal  Herod  laid  his  complaints,  pleaded  his  cause,  and  publicly 
accused  hie  sons.  After  hearing  the  charge  Saturninus  advised  that  mercy 
should  be  extended  towards  the  young  men ;  Volumnius  and  the  majority 
urged  their  condemnation,  and  eventually  they  were  strangled  at  Samaria, 
at  the  very  same  place  where  their  father  had  celebrated  his  marriage  with 
their  mother. 

But  the  execution  of  those  unfortunate  princes  did  but  little  towards 
removing  the  elements  of  discord  in  Herod's  household.  Repeated  dis- 
sensions had  arisen  between  him  and  his  brother  Pherdras,  who  was  at 
length  ordered  to  retire  to  his  own  tetrarchy  of  Peraea.  There  he  sickened 
and  died,  and  his  widow  was  accused  of  having  poisoned  him.  The  inves- 
tigation that  ensued  revealed  a  new  and  still  more  formidable  conspiracy, 
which  Antipater  and  Pherdras  had  formed  against  Herod's  life.  Antipater 
was  absent  at  Rome,  but  he  was  allowed  to  return  to  Caesarea,  and  on 
reaching  Jerusalem  was  instantly,  seized,  and  brought  to  trial  before  the 
Roman  governor  of  Syria,  Quintilius  "Varus.  The  charge  was  proved,  and 
he  was  condemned  to  death,  but  his  execution  was  respited  till  the  will  of 
the  emperor  could  be  ascertained. 

Herod  was  now  upwards  of  seventy  years  of  age,  and  already  felt  the 
approach  of  his  last  mortal  malady.  Removing  for  change  of  air  to  Jericho, 
he  resolved  to  make  the  final  alterations  in  his  will.  Passing  over 
Archelaus  and  Philip,  whom  Antipater  had  accused  of  treachery,  he 
nominated  Antipas,  a  son  by  Malthace,  a  Samaritan,  his  successor  in  the 
kingdom;  and  left  magnificent  bequests  to  Ctesar,  to  Caesar's  wife  Julia,  to 
her  sons,  and  to  the  members  of  his  own  family. 

Before  Herod  left  for  Jericho,  and  while  he  was  still  residing  in  the 
magnificent  palace  he  had  built  on  Zion,  his  fears  and  suspicions  were  still 
furmer  increased  by  the  visit  to  his  capital  of  certain  magi  from  the  East, 
bearing  the  strange  intelligence  that  they  had  seen  in  the  East  the  star 
of  a  new-born  King  of  the  Jews,  and  had  come  to  worship  Him. 

The  inquiry  respecting  an  keredUary  King  of  the  Jews  roused  the  alarm 


of  the  Idumean  tyrant,  and,  hastily  convening  an  assemdly  of  the  chief 
priests  and  scribes,  he  inquired  where,  according  to  their  prophetical  books, 
the  long-expected  Messiah  was  to  be  bom.  Without  any  hesitation  they 
pointed  to  the  words  of  the  prophet  Micah,  which  declared  that  Bethlehem, 
in  Judaea,  was  the  favoured  spwt.  Concealing  his  wicked  intentions,  the 
monarch  therefore  bade  the  magi  repair  to  Bethlehem,  bidding  them  let 
him  know  as  soon  as  they  had  founa  the  young  child,  that  he,  too,  might 
come  and  do  Him  reverence. 

Thus  advised,  the  magi  set  out,  and  at  Bethlehem  they  found  "the 
young  Child,  and  Mary  his  Mother,  and  they  fell  down  and  worshippeil 
Him."  For  true  it  was  that  while  Herod's  blood-stained  reign  was  drawing 
near  its  close,  and  when,  after  a  life  of  tyranny  and  unsurpation,  he  was  sink- 
ing "into  the  jealous  decrepitude  of  his  savage  old  age,"  a  lowly  Virgin 
had  at  Bethlehem  brought  "  forth  her  first-born  Son,  and  wrapped  Him 
in  swaddling  clothes,  and  laid  Him  in  a  manger."  The  advent  of  this  true 
King  of  kings,  "in  great  humility,"  had  moved  all  heaven  to  its  centre; 
and  while  Herod's  palaces  were  the  scenes  of  jealousies,  suspicion,  and 
murders,  and  his  subjects  were  groaning  under  the  yoke  of  his  iron  rule, 
the  heavenly  song  had  floated  over  the  hills  of  Bethlehem,  and  shepherds 
keeping  watch  over  their  flocks  had  heard  the  words,  breaking  the  stillness 
of  the  night,  "  Glory  to  God  in  the  highest,  and  on  earth  peace,  good- 
will toward  men." 

After  they  had  offered  their  homage  and  their  gifts  to  the  heavenly 
Child,  the  magi  would  naturally  have  returned  to  Herod ;  but  warned  of 
God  in  a  dream  of  peril  awaiting  them  if  they  did  so,  they  returned  to 
their  own  land  another  way.  Thus  foiled,  the  jealousy  of  Herod  assumed 
a  more  malignant  aspect,  and,  unable  to  identify  the  royal  Infant  of  the 
seed  of  David,  he  issued  an  edict  that  all  the  children  of  Bethlehem  and 
its  neighbourhood,  from  two  years  old  and  under,  should  be  slain. 

"Herod's  whole  career  was  red  with  the  blood  of  murder.  He  had 
massacred  priests  and  nobles;  he  had  decimated  the  Sanhedrin;  he  had 
caused  the  nigh  priest,  his  brother-in-law,  the  young  and  noble  Aristobulus, 
to  be  drowned  in  pretended  sport  before  his  eyes ;  he  had  ordered  the 
strangulation  of  his  favourite  wife,  the  beautiful  Asmonean  princess 
Mariamne,  though  she  seems  to  have  been  the  only  human  being  whom 
he  passionately  loved.  His  sons  Alexander,  Aristobulus,  and  Anti- 
pater; his  uncle  Joseph;  Antigonus  and  Alexander,  the  uncle  and 
father  of  his  wife;  his  mother-in-law  Alexandra ;  his  kinsman  Cortobanus; 
his  friends  Dositheus  and  Gadias  were  but  a  few  of  the  multitudes  who 
fell  victims  to  his  sanguinary,  suspicious,  and  guilty  terrors.  His  reign 
which  was  so  cruel  that,  in  the  energetic  language  of  the  Jewish  ambas- 
sadors to  the  Emperor  Augustus,  '  the  survivors  during  his  lifetime  were 
even  more  miserable  than  the  sufferers.' " 

Herod's  disorder  increased  with  the  utmost  violence.  He  lay  in  the 
magnificent  palace  which  he  had  built  for  himself  under  the  palm-trees 
of  Jericho,  racked  with  pain,  and  tormented  with  thirst.  Still  cherishing 
hopes  of  recovery,  he  now  caused  himself  to  be  conveyed  across  the  Jordan 
to  Callirrhoe,  not  far  from  the  Dead  Sea,  hoping  to  obtain  relief  from  its 
warm  bituminous  springs.  But  the  use  of  the  waters  produced  no  effect. 
He  was  conveyed  back  to  Jericho,  where  he  ordered  the  chiefs  of  the 
nation,  under  pain  of  death,  to  assemble.  As  they  arrived  they  were 
shut  up  in  the  Hippodrome,  and  Herod  charged  Salome  and  Alexas, 
immediately  upon  his  decease,  to  put  them  to  death.  Scarcely  had  he 
given  these  orders  when  a  dispatch  arrived  from  Rome,  announcing  the 
ratification  by  the  emperor  of  the  sentence  pronounced  upon  Antipater. 
Thereupon  the  tyrant's  desire  for  life  instantly  returned,  but  a  paroxysm 
of  racking  pain  coming  on,  he  called  for  an  apple  and  a  knife,  and  in  an 
unguarded  moment  tried  to  stab  himself.  His  cousin  Achiab  stayed  his 
hand,  and  Antipater,  hearing  the  clamour  from  a  neighbouring  apart- 
ment, and  thinking  his  father  was  dead,  made  a  determined  effort  to  escape 
by  bribing  his  guards.  No  sooner  did  Herod  hear  of  this,  than,  though 
almost  insensible,  he  raised  himself  on  his  elbow,  and  ordered  one  of  the 
spearmen  to  dispatch  his  son  on  the  spot.  Thus  Antipater  paid  the 
penalty  of  his  life  of  treachery  and  hypocrisy.  Herod  now  once  more  amen- 
ded his  will,  nominating  his  eldest  son  Archelaus  as  his  successor  on  the 
throne,  and  appointing  Herod  Antipas  tetrarch  of  Galilee  and  Peraea; 
Herod  Philip,  tetrarch  of  Auranitis,  Trachonitis  and  Batansea ;  and  Sa- 
lome mistress  of  Jamnia,  Azotus,  and  some  other  towns. 

Five  days  more  of  excruciating  agony  remained  for  the  miserable 
monarch,  and  then,  "choking  as  it  w«re  with  blood,  devising  massacres  in 
its  very  delirium,  the  soul  of  Herod  passed  forth  inte  the  night."  Arche- 
laus at  once  assumed  the  direction  of  afiairs  at  Jerusalem,  and  proceeded 
to  give  his  father  a  magnificent  funeral.  First,  clad  in  armour,  advanced 
a  numerous  force  of  troops,  with  their  generals  and  oflScers ;  then  followed 
five  hundred  of  Herod's  domestics  and  freedmen,  bearing  aromatic  spicea. 
Next  came  the  body,  covered  with  purple,  with  a  diadem  on  the  head,  and 
a  sceptre  in  the  right  hand,  and  lying  on  a  bier  of  gold  studded  with 
precious  stones.  After  the  bier,  which  was  surrounded  by  Herod's  soa 
and  relatives,  came  his  body-guard;  then  his  foreign  mercenaries,  jjien 
from  Thrace,  Germany,  and  Gaul,  "whose  stalwart  and  ruddy  persons 
were  at  this  time  familiar  in  Jerusalem."  In  this  order  the  procession 
advanced  slowly  from  Jericho  to  Herodium,  not  far  from  Tekoa,  a  dis- 
tance of  about  twenty-five  miles,  where  the  late  monarch  had  erected  a 
fortress.  Here,  in  the  tower-crowned  citadel  to  which  he  had  given  his 
name,  and  not  far  from  the  spot  where  He  was  born  whom  the  Idumean 
king  had  sought  to  cut  off  with  tbeinnocentB  of  £ethlehem,Herod  was  buried. 


Synagogues  and  Forms  of  Worship. 


The  word  synagogtie,  which  means  a  "  congregation,"  is  used  in  the  New 
Testament  to  signify  a  recognised  place  of  worship.  A  knowledge  of  the  history 
and  worship  of  the  synagogues  is  of  importance  to  the  student,  since  they  are  the 
great  characteristic  institutions  of  the  later  phase  of  Judaism.  More  even  than 
the  temple  and  its  services,  in  the  time  of  which  the  New  Testament  treats,  they 
at  once  represented  and  determined  the  religious  life  of  the  people.  We  cannot 
separate  them  from  the  most  intimate  connection  with  our  Lord's  life  and  ministry. 
In  them  he  worshiped  in  his  youth  and  in  his  manhood.  Whatever  we  can  learn 
of  the  ritual  which  then  prevailed  tells  us  of  a  worsliip  which  he  recognized  and 
eanctioned,  which  for  that  reason,  if  for  no  other — though,  like  the  statelier  ser- 
vices of  the  temple,  it  was  defined  to  pa.'is  away — is  worthy  of  our  respect  and 
honor.  They  were  the  sctnes,  too,  of  no  small  portion  of  his  work.  In  them  were 
wrought  some  of  his  mightiest  works  of  healing.  In  them  were  spoken  some  of 
the  Toosi  glorious  of  his  recorded  words ;  many  more,  beyond  all  reckoning,  which 
are  not  recorded. 

We  know  too  little  of  the  life  of  Israel,  both  before  and  under  the  monarchy, 
to  be  able  to  say  with  certainty  whether  there  was  anything  at  all  corresponding 
to  the  synagogues  of  later  date.  They  appear  to  have  arisen  during  the  exile,  in 
the  abeyance  of  the  temple-worship,  and  to  have  received  their  full  development 
on  the  return  of  the  Jews  from  captivity.  The  whole  history  of  Ezra  presupposes 
the  habit  of  solemn,  probably  of  periodic,  meetings.  The  "  ancient  days  "  of  which 
St.  James  speaks  may,  at  least,  go  back  so  far.  After  the  Maccabean  struggle  for 
independence,  we  find  almost  every  town  or  village  had  its  one  or  more  synagogues. 
Where  the  Jews  were  not  in  sufficient  numbers  to  be  able  to  erect  and  fill  a  build- 
ing, there  was  the  Proseucha,  or  place  of  prayer,  sometimes  open,  sometimes 
covered  in,  commonly  by  a  running  stream  or  on  the  sea-shore,  in  which  devout 
Jews  and  proselytes  met  to  worship,  and  perhaps  to  read. 

It  is  hardly  possible  to  overestimate  the  influence  of  the  system  thus  developed. 
To  it  we  may  ascribe  the  tenacity  with  which,  after  the  Maccabean  struggle,  the 
Jews  adhered  to  the  religion  of  their  fathers  and  never  again  relapsed  into  idol- 
atry. The  people  were  now  in  no  danger  of  forgetting  the  law  and  the  external 
ordinances  that  hedged  it  round.  If  pilgrimages  were  still  made  to  Jerusalem  at 
the  great  feasts,  the  habitual  religion  of  the  Jews  in,  and  yet  more  out  of,  Pales- 
tine was  connected  much  more  intimately  with  the  synagogue  than  with  the  temple. 
Its  simple  edifying  devotion,  into  which  mind  and  heart  could  alike  enter,  attracted 
the  heathen  proselytes  who  might  have  been  repelled  by  the  sacrifices  of  the  tem- 
ple, or  would  certainly  have  been  driven  from  it  unless  they  could  make  up  their 
minds  to  submit  to  circumcision.  Here,  too,  there  was  an  influence  tending  to 
diminish,  and  ultimately  almost  to  destroy,  the  authority  of  the  hereditary  priest- 
hood. The  services  of  the  synagogue  required  no  sons  of  Aaron,  gave  them  noth- 
ing more  than  a  complimentary  precedence.  The  way  was  silently  prepared  for  a 
new  and  higher  order,  which  should  rise  in  "the  fullness  of  time"  out  of  the  decay 
and  abolition  of  both  the  priesthood  and  temple.     In  another  way,  too,  the  syna- 

fogues  everywhere  prepared  the  way  for  that  order.     Not  "  Moses  "  only,  but "  the 
'rophets,"  were  read  in  them  every  Sabbath  day,  and  thus  the  Messianic  hopes  of 
Israel,  the  expectation  of  a  kingdom  of  heaven,  were  universally  diffiised. 

llie  stsie  of  a  synagogue,  like  that  of  a  church  or  chapel,  varied  with  the 
population.  We  have  no  reason  for  believing  that  there  were  any  fixed  laws  of 
proiwrtion  for  its  dimensions,  like  those  which  are  traced  in  the  tabernacle  and  the 
temple.  Its  position  was,  liowever,  determinate.  It  stood,  if  possible,  on  the  highest 
ground,  in  or  near  the  city  to  which  it  belonged.  Failing  this,  a  tall  pole  rose  from 
the  roof  to  render  it  conspicuous.  And  its  direction  too  was  fixed.  Jerusalem 
was  the  Kibleh  of  Jewish  devotion ;  and  the  synagogue  was  so  constructed  that  the 
worshii)ers  as  they  entered  and  as  they  prayed  looked  toward  it.  The  building 
was  commonly  erected  at  the  cost  of  the  district,  whether  by  a  church-rate  levied 
for  the  purpose  or  by  free  gifts  must  remain  uncertain.  Sometimes  it  was  built  by 
a  rich  J  ew,  or  even,  as  in  Luke  7 :  5,  by  a  friendly  proselyte.  In  the  later  stages 
of  Eastern  Judaism  it  was  often  erected,  like  the  mosques  of  Mohammedans,  near 
the  tombs  of  famous  rabbis  or  holy  men.  When  the  building  was  finished,  it  was 
set  apart,  as  the  temple  had  been,  by  a  special  prayer  of  dedication.  From  that 
time  it  nad  a  consecrated  character.  The  common  acts  of  life — eating,  drinking, 
reckoning  up  accounts — were  forbidden  in  it.  No  one  was  to  pass  through  it  as  a 
short  cut.  Even  if  it  ceased  to  be  used,  the  building  was  not  to  be  applied  to  any 
base  purpose — might  not  be  turned  into  a  bath,  a  laundry  or  a  tannery. 

In  the  internal  arrangement  of  the  synagogue  we  trace  an  obvious 
analogy  to  the  type  of  the  tabernacle.  At  the  upper  or  Jerusalem  end  stood  the 
ark,  the  chest  which,  like  the  older  and  more  sacred  ark,  contained  the  book  of  the 
law.  This  part  of  the  synagogue  was  naturally  the  place  of  honor.  Here  were 
the  "  chief  seats "  after  which  Pharisees  and  scribes  strove  so  eagerly,  to  which 
the  wealthy  and  honored  worshiper  was  invited.  Here,  too,  in  front  of  the  ark, 
still  reproducing  the  type  of  the  tabernacle,  was  the  eight-branched  lamp,  lighted 
only  on  the  greater  festivals.  Besides  tliis,  there  was  one  lamp  kept  burning  per- 
petually. Others,  brought  by  devout  worshipers,  were  lighted  at  tiie  beginning 
of  the  Sabbath — ;'.  e.,  on  Friday  evening.  A  little  farther  toward  the  middle  of  the 
building  was  a  raised  platform,  on  which  several  persons  could  stand  at  once,  and  in 
the  middle  of  this  rose  a  pulpit,  in  which  the  reader  stood  to  read  the  lesson  or  sat 
down  to  teach.  The  congregation  were  divided,  men  on  one  side,  women  on  the 
otlier.  Within  the  ark,  as  above  stated,  were  the  rolls  of  the  sacred  books.  The 
rollers  round  which  they  were  wound  were  often  elaborately  decorated,  the  cases 
for  them  embroidered  or  enameled,  according  to  their  material.  Such  cases  were 
customary  oflerings  from  the  rich  when  they  brought  their  infant  children,  on  the 
first  anniversary  of  their  birthday,  to  be  blessed  by  the  rabbi  of  the  synagogue. 
As  part  of  the  fittings  we  have  also  to  note  (1)  another  chest  for  the  Haphtarolh, 
or  rolls  of  the  prophets ;  (2)  alms-boxes  at  or  near  the  door,  after  the  pattern  of 
those  at  the  temple,  one  for  the  poor  at  Jenisalem,  the  other  for  local  charities  ; 
(3)  notiee-boards,  on  which  were  written  the  names  of  offenders  who  had  been 
"  put  out  of  the  synagogue ;''  (4)  a  chest  for  trumpets  and  other  musical  instru- 
ments used  at  the  New  Years,  Sabbaths  and  other  festivals. 


The  most  prominent  functionary  in  a  large  synagogue  was  known  M 
the  Sheliach  (^  legatua),  the  officiating  minister,  who  acted  as  the  delegate  of  the 
congregation,  and  was  therefore  the  chief  reader  of  prayers,  etc.,  in  their  name.  The 
conditions  laid  down  for  this  office  remind  us  of  St.  Paul's  rule  for  the  choice  of 
a  bishop.  He  was  to  be  active,  of  fidl  a^e,  the  father  of  a  family,  not  rich  or 
engaged  in  business,  possessing  a  good  voice,  apt  to  teach.  In  him  we  find  tlie 
prototype  of  the  "  angel  of  the  church  "  of  Rev.  1 :  20 ;  2:1,  etc. 

The  Chazzdn,  or  servant  of  the  synagogue,  had  duties  of  a  lower  kind,  resem- 
bling  those  of  the  Christian  deacon  or  sub-deacon.  He  was  to  open  the  door,  to 
get  the  building  ready  for  service.  For  him,  too,  there  were  conditions  like  those 
for  the  legalus.  Like  the  legatus  and  the  elders,  he  was  appointed  by  the  imposi- 
tion of  hands.  Practically,  he  often  acted  during  the  week  as  schoolmaster  of  the 
town  or  village,  and  in  this  way  came  to  gain  a  prominence  which  placed  him 
nearly  on  the  same  level  as  the  legalus. 

Besid^  these,  there  were  ten  men  attached  to  every  synagogue,  known  a,s  the 
Ballanim  (=  Otiosi),  and  no  synagogue  was  complete  without  them.  They  were 
to  be  men  of  leisure,  not  obliged  to  labor  for  their  livelihood,  able,  therefore,  to 
attend  the  week-day  as  well  as  the  Sabbath  services. 

The  ritual  of  the  synagogue  was  to  a  large  extent  the  reproduction 
(here  also,  as  with  the  fabric,  with  many  inevitable  changes)  of  the  statelier  liturgy 
of  the  temple.  It  will  be  enough  in  this  place  to  notice  in  what  way  the  ritual,  no 
less  than  the  organization,  was  connected  with  the  facts  of  the  New  Testament  his- 
tory and  with  the  life  and  order  of  the  Christian  Church.  Here,  too,  we  meet 
with  multiplied  coincidences.  It  would  hardly  be  an  exaggeration  to  say  that  the 
worship  of  the  Church  was  identical  with  that  of  the  synagogue,  modified  (1)  by 
the  new  truths,  (2)  by  the  new  institution  of  the  Supper  of  tiie  Lord,  (3)  by  the 
spiritual  Charismata. 

From  the  synagogue  came  the  use  of  fixed  forms  of  prayer.  To  that  the  first 
disciples  had  been  accustomed  from  their  youth.  They  had  asked  their  Master  to 
give  them  a  distinctive  one,  and  he  had  complied  with  their  request,  as  the  Baptist 
had  done  before  for  his  disciples,  as  every  rabbi  did  for  his.  The  forms  might 
be,  and  were,  abused,  but  for  the  disciples  this  was  as  yet  the  true  pattern  of  devo' 
tion,  and  their  Master  sanctioned  it.  To  their  minds  there  would  seem  nothing 
inconsistent  with  true  heart-worship  in  the  recurrence  of  a  fixed  order,  of  tlie  same 
prayers,  hymns,  doxologies,  such  as  all  liturgical  study  leads  us  to  think  of  as 
existing  in  the  apostolic  age. 

The  large  admixture  of  a  didactic  element  in  Christian  worship — that  by  which 
it  was  distinguished  from  all  Gentile  forms  of  adoration — was  derived  from  the 
older  order.  "  Moses"  was  "  read  in  the  synagogues  every  Sabbath-day,"  tlie  whole 
law  being  read  consecutively,  so  as  to  be  completed,  according  to  one  cycle,  in  three 
years,  or  according  to  that  wliich  ultimately  prevailed  and  determined  the  existing 
divisions  of  the  Hebrew  text,  in  the  fifty-two  weeks  of  a  single  year.  The  writings 
of  the  prophets  were  read  as  second  lessons  in  a  corresponding  order.  They  were 
followed  by  the  Derash,  "the  word  of  exhortation,"  the  exposition,  the  sermon  of 
the  synagogue.  The  first  Christian  synagogues,  we  must  believe,  followed  this 
order  with  but  little  deviation.  It  remained  for  them  before  long  to  add  "  the 
other  Scriptures,"  which  they  had  learned  to  recognize  as  more  precious  even  than 
the  law  itself,  the  "  prophetic  word  "  of  the  New  Testament.  The  synagogue  use 
of  Psalms,  again,  on  the  plan  of  selecting  those  which  had  a  special  fitness  for 
special  times,  answered  to  that  which  appears  to  have  prevailed  in  the  Church  of 
the  first  three  centuries. 

The  conformity  extends  also  to  the  times  of  prayer.  In  the  hours  of  service  this 
was  obviously  the  case.  The  third,  sixth  and  ninth  hours  were  in  the  times  of  the 
New  Testament,  and  had  been  probably  for  some  time  before,  the  fixed  times  of 
devotion.  The  same  hours,  it  is  well  known,  were  recognized  in  the  Church  of 
the  second,  probably  in  that  of  the  first,  century  also.  The  sacred  days  belonging 
to  the  two  systems  seem  at  first  to  present  a  contrast  rather  than  a  resemblance, 
but  here  too  there  is  a  symmetry  which  points  to  an  original  connection.  The 
solemn  days  of  the  synagogue  were  the  second,  the  fifth  and  the  seventh,  the  last, 
or  Sabbath,  being  the  conclusion  of  the  whole.  In  whatever  way  the  change  was 
brought  about,  the  transfer  of  the  sanctity  of  the  Sabbath  to  the  Lord's  day  in- 
volved a  corresponding  change  in  the  order  of  the  week,  afnd  the  first,  the  fourth 
and  the  sixth  became  to  the  Christians  what  the  other  days  had  berai  to  the  Jews. 

The  language  of  the  New  Testament  shows  that  the  officers  of  the  synagogue 
exercised  in  certain  cases  a  judicial  power.  The  synagogue  itself  was  the  place  of 
trials-even,  strange  as  it  may  seem,  of  the  actual  punishment  of  scourging.  They 
do  not  appear  to  have  had  the  right  of  inflicting  any  severer  penalty,  unless  under 
this  head  we  may  include  that  of  excommunication,  or  "  putting  a  man  out  of  the 
synagogue,"  placing  him  under  an  anathema,  "  delivering  him  to  Satan."  In 
some  cases  they  exercised  the  right,  even  outside  the  limits  of  Palestine,  of  seizing 
the  persons  of  the  accused  and  sending  them  in  chains  to  take  tiieir  trial  before  the 
supreme  council  at  Jerusalem. 

It  is  not  quite  so  easy,  however,  to  define  the  nature  of  the  tribunal  and  the  pre- 
cise limits  of  its  jurisdiction.  In  two  of  the  passages  referred  to  they  are  carefullir 
distinguished  from  the  cmiiicils,  yet  both  appear  as  instruments  by  which  the  spirit 
of  religious  persecution  might  fasten  on  its  victims.  The  explanation  commonly 
given,  that  the  council  sat  in  the  synagogue,  and  was  thus  identified  with  it,  is 
hardly  satisfactory.  It  seems  more  probable  that  the  council  was  the  larger  tribu- 
nal of  twenty-three,  which  sat  in  every  city,  identical  with  that  of  the  seven,  with 
two  Levites  as  assessors  to  each,  which  Josephus  describes  as  acting  in  the  small- 
er provincial  towns,  and  that  under  the  term  synagogue  we  are  to  understand  a 
smaller  court,  probably  that  of  the  ten  judges  mentioned  in  the  Talmud,  consisting 
either  of  the  elders,  the  chaztdn  and  the  tegatus,  or  otherwise  of  the  ten  BaUanim  or 
Otiosi. 

Here,  also,  we  trace  the  outline  of  a  Christian  institution.  The  church,  either 
by  itself  or  by  appointed  delegates,  was  to  act  as  a  cour>  of  arbitration  in  all  dis- 
putes among  its  members.  The  elders  of  the  church  were  not,  however,  to  descend 
to  the  trivial  disputes  of  daily  life.

CHAPTER    I. 

The  Genealogy  of  Christ. 

THE  book  of  the  "generation  of  Jesus  Christ,  'the  son 
of  Da'vid,  ""the  son  of  A'bra-ham. 

2  ''A'bra-ham  begat  I'saac ;  and  'I'saac  begat  Ja'cob ;  and 
■^Ja'cob  begat  Ju'das  and  his  brethren ; 

3  And  "Ju'das  begat  Pha'res  and  Za'ra  of  Tha'mar;  and 
*Pha'res  begat  Es'rom ;  and  Es'rom  begat  A'ram ; 

4  And  A'ram  begat  A-min'a-dab ;  and  A-min'a-dab  begat 
Na-as'son ;  and  Na-as'son  begat  Sal'mon ; 

5  And  Sal'mon  begat  Bo'oz  of  Ra'chab;  and  Bo'oz  begat 
O'bed  of  Ruth ;  and  O'bed  begat  Jes'se ; 

6  And  'Jes'se  begat  Da'vid  the  liing;  and  *Da'vid  the  king 
begat  Sol'o-mon  of  her  thai  had  been  the  wife  of  U-ri'as ; 

7  And  'Sol'o-mon  begat  Rob'o-am;  and  Rob'o-am  begat 
A-bi'a ;  and  A-bi'a  begat  A'sa ; 

8  And  A'sa  begat  Jos'a-phat ;  and  Jos'a-phat  begat  Jo'ram; 
and  Jo'ram  begat  O-zi'as; 

9  And  O-zi'as  begat  Jo'a-tham;  and  Jo'a-tham  begat 
A'chaz ;  and  A'chaz  begat  Ez-e-ki'as ; 

10  And  ""Ez-e-ki'as  begat  Ma-nas'ses ;  and  Ma-nas'ses  begat 
A'mon  ;  and  A'mon  begat  Jo-si'as ; 

11  And  II  "Jo-si'as  begat  Jech-o-ni'as  and  his  brethren, 
about  the  time  they  were  "carried  away  to  Bab'y-lon  : 

12  And  after  they  were  brought  to  Bab'y-lon,  "Jech-o-ni'as 
begat  Sa-la'thi-el ;  and  Sa-la'thi-el  begat  «Zo-rob'a-bel ; 

13  And  Zo-rob'a-bel  begat  A-bi'ud;  and  A-bi'ud  begat 
E-li'a-kim ;  and  E-li'a-kim  begat  A'zor ; 

14  And  A'zor  begat  Sa'doc ;  and  Sa'doc  begat  A'chim ;  and 
A'chim  begat  E-li'ud; 

15  And  E-li'ud  begat  E-le-a'zar;  and  E-Ie-a'zar  begat 
Mat'than ;  and  Mat'than  begat  Ja'cob ; 

16  And  Ja'cob  begat  Jo'seph  the  husband  of  Ma'ry,  of 
whom  was  born  Jesus,  who  is  called  Christ. 

17  So  all  the  generations  from  A'bra-ham  to  Da'vid  are  four- 
teen generations;  and  from  Da'vid  until  the  carrying  away 
into  Bab'y-lon  are  fourteen  generations ;  and  from  the  carrying 
away  into  Bab'y-lon  unto  Christ  are  fourteen  generations. 

18  ^Now  the  ''birth  of  Jesus  Christ  was  on  this  wise: 
When  as  his  mother  Ma'ry  was  espoused  to  Jo'seph,  before 
they  came  together,  she  was  found  with  child  'of  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

19  Then  Jo'seph  her  husband,  being  a  just  man,  and  not 
willing  to  make  her  a  public  example,  was  minded  to  put 
her  away  privily. 

20  But  while  he  thought  on  these  things,  behold,  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  a  dream,  saying, 
Jo'seph,  thou  son  of  Da'vid,  fear  not  to  take  unto  thee  Ma'ry 
thy  wife :  "for  that  which  is  fconceived  in  her  is  of  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

21  ''And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son,  and  thou  shalt  call  his 
name  ||  JESUS:   for  "he  shall  save  his  people  from  their  sins. 

22  Now  all  this  was  done,  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  of  the  Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying, 

23  "Behold,  a  virgin  shall  be  with  child,  and  shall  bring 
forth  a  son,  and  ||  they  shall  call  his  name  Em-man' u-el,  which 
being  interpreted  is,  God  with  us. 

24  Then  Jo'seph  being  raised  from  sleep  did  as  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  had  bidden  him,  and  took  unto  him  his  wife : 

25  And  knew  her  not  till  she  had  brought  forth  "her  first- 
born son ;  and  he  called  his  name  JESUS. 


THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 


S.  MATTHEW. 


A     'The  book  of  the  ^generation  of  Jesus  Christ,  the 
son  of  Da'vid  the  son  of  A'bra-ham. 

2  A'bra-ham  begat  I'saac ;  and  I'saac  begat  Ja'cob ; 

3  and  Ja'cob  begat  Ju'dah  and  his  brethren ;  and  Ju'- 
dah  begat  Pe'rez  and  Ze'rah  of  Ta'mar ;  and  Pe'rez 

4  begat  Hez'ron ;  and  Hez'ron  begat  ^Ram ;  and  'Ram 
begat  Am-min'a-dab ;  and  Am-min'a-dab  begat  Nah'- 

5  shon ;    and  Nah'shon  begat  Sal'mon ;  and  Sal'mon 
begat  Bo'az  of  Ra'hab;  and  Bo'az  begat  O'bed  of 

6  Ruth ;  and   O'bed  begat  Jes'se ;   and  Jes'se    begat 
Da'vid  the  king. 

And  Da'vid  begat  Sol'o-mon  of  her  that  had  been 

7  the  wife  of  U-ri'ah  ;  and  Sol'o-mon  begat  Re-ho-bo'am; 
and  Re-ho-bo'am  begat  A-bi'jah ;  and  A-bi'jah  begat 

8* A'sa;  and^A'sa  begat  Je-hosh'a-phat;  and  Je-hosh'a- 

9  phat  begat  Jo'ram ;   and  Jo'ram  begat  Uz-zi'ah ;  and 

Uz-zi'ah  begat  Jo'tham;  and  Jo'tham  begat  A'haz; 

10  and  A'haz  begat  Hez-e-ki'ah;  and  Hez-e-ki'ah  begat 
Ma-nas'seh ;    and    Ma-nas'seh    begat    'A'mon ;    and 

11  "A'mon  begat  Jo-si'ah ;  and  Jo-si'ah  begat  Jech-o- 
ni'ah  and  his  brethren,  at  the  time  of  the  ^carrying 
away  to  Bab'y-lon. 

12  And  after  the  'cairying  away  to  Bab'y-lon,  Jech-o- 
ni'ah  begat 'She-al'ti-el;  and 'She-al'ti-el  begat  Ze-rub'- 

13ba-bel;  and  Ze-rub'ba-bel  begat  A-bi'ud ;  and  A-bi'ud 
14 begat  E-li'a-kim;  and  E-li'a-kim  begat  A'zor;  and 

A'zor  begat  Sa'doc;  and  Sa'doc  begat  A'chim;  and 
15  A'chim  begat  E-li'ud ;  and  E-li'ud  begat  E-le-a'zar ; 

and  E-le-a'zar  begat  Mat'than ;  and  Mat'than  begat 
16 Ja'cob;  and  Ja'cob  begat  Jo'seph  the  husband  of 

Ma'ry,  of  whom  was  born  Jesus,  who  is  called  Christ. 

17  So  all  the  generations  from  A'bra-ham  unto  Da'vid 
are  fourteen  generations ;  and  from  Da'vid  unto  the 
'carrying  away  to  Bab'y-lon  fourteen  generations; 
and  from  the  'carrying  away  to  Bab'y-lon  unto  the 
Christ  fourteen  generations. 

18  Now  the  'birth  'of  Jesus  Christ  was  on  this  wise : 
When  his  mother  Ma'ry  had  been  betrothed  to  Jo'- 
seph, before  they  came  together  she  was  found  with 

19  child  of  the  '"Holy  Ghost.  And  Jo'seph  her  hus- 
band, being  a  righteous  man,  and  not  willing  to 
make  her  a  public  example,   was    minded   to   put 

20  her  away  privily.  But  when  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
him  in  a  dream,  saying,  Jo'seph,  thou  son  of  Da'vid, 
fear  not  to  take  unto  thee  Ma'ry  thy  wife :  for  that 
which  is  "conceived  in  her  is  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

21  And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son ;  and  thou  shalt 
call  his  name  Jesus  ;  for  it  is  he  that  shall  save  his 

22  people  from  their  sins.  Now  all  this  is  come  to 
pass,  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
by  the  Lord  through  the  prophet,  saying, 

23  Behold,  the  virgin  shall  be  with  child,  and  shall 

bring  forth  a  son, 
And  they  shall  call  his  name  '^Im-man'u-el ; 

24  which  is,  being  interpreted,  God  with  us.  And  Jo'- 
seph arose  from  his  sleep,  and  did  as  the  angel  of 
the   Lord   commanded   him,  and  took  unto  him  his 

25 wife;  and  knew  her  not  till  she  had  brought  forth 
a  son ;  and  he  called  his  name  Jesus.

CHAPTER   II. 

Thg    wise    mfn    directed   to    Christ* 

I^OW  when  "Jesus  was  born  in  Beth'le-hem  of  Ju-de'a 
Xi  in  the  days  of  Her'od  the  king,  behold,  there  came 
wise  men  'from  the  east  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

2  Saying,''Where  is  he  that  is  born  King  of  the  Jews?  for  we 
have  seen  ''his  star  in  the  east,  and  are  come  to  worshijhim. 

3  When  Her'od  the  king  had  heard  these  things,  he  was 
troubled,  and  all  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  him.  ^ 

4  And  when  he  had  gathered  all  ''the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  of  the  people  together,  'he  demanded  of  them  where 
Christ  should  be  born. 

5  And  they  said  unto  him.  In  Beth'le-hem  of  Ju-de'a :  for 
thus  it  is  written  by  the  prophet, 

6  ''And  thou  Beth'le-hem,  in  the  land  of  Ju'da,  art  not  the 
least  among  the  princes  of  Ju'da  :  for  out  of  thee  shall  come 
a  Governor,  'that  shall  ||rule  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

7  Then  Her'od,  when  he  had  privily  called  the  wise  men, 
inquired  of  them  diligently  what  time  the  star  appeared. 

8  And  he  sent  them  to  Beth'le-hem,  and  said,  Go  and  search 
diligently  for  the  young  child ;  and  when  ye  have  found  him, 
bring  me  word  again,  that  I  may  come  and  worship  him  also. 

9  When  they  had  heard  the  king,  they  departed;  and,  lo, 
the  star,  which  they  saw  in  the  east,  went  before  them,  till 
it  came  and  stood  over  where  the  young  child  was. 

10  When  they  saw  the  star,  they  rejoiced  with  exceeding 
great  joy. 

11  5i  And  when  they  were  come  into  the  house,  they  saw 
the  young  child  with  Ma'ry  his  mother,  and  fell  down,  and 
worshipped  him :  and  when  they  had  opened  their  treasures, 
*they  II  presented  unto  him  gifts;  gold,  and  frankincense, 
and  myrrh. 

12  And  being  warned  of  God  'in  a  dream  that  they  should 
net  return  to  Her'od,  they  departed  into  their  own  country 
another  way. 

13  And  when  they  were  departed,  behold,  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  appeareth  to  Jo'seph  in  a  dream,  saying.  Arise, 
and  take  the  young  child  and  his  mother,  and  flee  into 
E'gypt,  and  be  thou  there  until  I  bring  thee  word:  for 
Her'od  will  seek  the  young  child  to  destroy  him. 

14  When  he  arose,  he  took  the  young  child  and  his  mother 
by  night,  and  departed  into  E'gypt : 

15  And  was  there  until  the  death  of  Her'od :  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  of  the  Lord  by  the  prophet, 
saying,  "Out  of  E'gypt  have  I  called  my  son. 

16  ^Then  Her'od,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  mocked  of 
the  wise  men,  was  exceeding  wroth,  and  sent  forth,  and 
slew  all  the  children  that  were  in  Beth'le-hem,  and  in  all  the 
coasts  thereof,  from  two  years  old  and  under,  according  to 
the  time  which  he  had  diligently  inquired  of  the  wise  men. 

17  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which  was  spoken  by  "Jer'e-my 
the  prophet,  saying, 

18  In  Ra'ma  was  there  a  voice  heard,  lamentation, and  weep- 
ing, and  great  mourning,  Ra'chel  weeping  for  her  children, 
and  would  not  be  comforted,  because  they  are  not. 

19  ^But  when  Her'od  was  dead,  behold,  an  angel  of  the 
Lord  appeareth  in  a  dream  to  Jo'seph  in  E'gypt, 

20  Saying,  Arise,  and  take  the  young  child  and  his  mother, 
and  go  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el :  for  they  are  dead  which 
sought  the  young  child's  life. 

21  And  he  arose,  and  took  the  young  child  and  his  mother, 
and  came  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el. 

22  But  when  he  heard  tiiat  Ar-che-la'us  did  reign  in  Ju-de'a 
in  the  room  of  his  father  Her'od,  he  was  afraid  to  go  thither: 
notwithstanding,  being  warned  of  God  in  a  dream,  he  turned 
aside  "into  the  parts  of  Gal'i-lee : 

23  And  he  came  and  dwelt  in  a  city  called  "Naz'a-reth : 
that  it  might  be  fulfilled  "which  was  spoken  by  the  prophets, 
He  shall  be  called  a  Naz'a-rene. 


^  Now  when  Jesus  was  born  in  Beth'le-hem  of  Ju-dse'a 
in  the  days  of  Her'od  the  king,  behold,  'wise  men 

2  from  the  east  came  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying,  ^Where  is 
he  that  is  born  King  of  the  Jews?  for  we  saw  his 
star   in   the  east,  and    are    come   to   worship   him. 

3  And    when    Her'od    the    king    heard    it,    he    was 

4  troubled,  and  all  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  him.  And  gath- 
ering together  all  tht  chief  priests  and  scribes  of  the 
people,  he  inquired  of  them  where  the  Christ  should 

5  be  born.  And  they  said  unto  him.  In  Beth'le-hem 
of  Ju-d«e'a :  for  thus  it  is  written  ^by  the  prophet, 

6  And  thou  Beth'le-hem,  land  of  Ju'dah, 

Art  in  no  wise  least  among  the  princes  of  Ju'dah : 
For  out  of  thee  shall  come  forth  a  governor. 
Which  shall  be  shepherd  of  my  people  Is'ra-el. 

7  Then  Her'od  privily  called  the  'wise  men,  and  learned 

8  of  them  carefully  *what  time  the  star  appeared.  And 
he  sent  them  to  Beth'le-hem,  and  said.  Go  and  search 
out  carefully  concerning  the  young  child;  and  when 
ye  have  found  him,  bring  me  word,  that  I  also  may 

9  come  and  worship  him.  And  they,  having  heard 
th«  king,  went  their  way ;  and  lo,  the  star,  which 
they  saw  in  the  east,  went  before  them,  till  it  came 

10  and  stood  over  where  the  young  child  was.  And 
when  they  saw  the  star,  they  rejoiced  with  exceed- 

lling  great  joy.  And  they  came  into  the  house  and 
saw  the  young  child  with  Ma'ry  his  mother;  and 
they  fell  down  and  worshipped  him;  and  opening 
their  treasures  they  offered  unto  him  gifts,  gold  and 

12  frankincense  and  myrrh.  And  being  warned  o/  God 
in  a  dream  that  they  should  not  return  to  Her'od, 
they  departed  into  their  own  country  another  way 

13  Now  when  they  were  departed,  behold,  an  angel 
of  the  Lord  appeareth  to  Jo'seph  in  a  dream,  saying. 
Arise  and  take  the  young  child  and  his  mother,  and 
flee  into  E'gypt,  and  be  thou  there  until  I  tell  thee : 
for  Her'od  will  seek  the  young  child  to  destroy  him. 

14  And  he  arose  and    took    the    young  child  and  his 

15  mother  by  night,  and  departed  into  E'gypt;  and 
was  there  until  the  death  of  Her'od :  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  the  Lord  through 
the  prophet,  saying.  Out  of  E'gypt  did  I  call  my  son. 

16  Then  Her'od,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  mocked  of  the 
'wise  men,  was  exceeding  wroth,  and  sent  forth,  and 
slew  all  the  male  children  that  were  in  Beth'le-hem, 
and  in  all  the  borders  thereof,  from  two  years  old  and 
under,  according  to  the  time  which  he  had  carefully 

17  learned  of  the  'wise  men.  Then  was  fulfilhd  that 
which  was  spoken  'by  Jer-e-mi'ah  the  prophet,  saying, 

18  A  voice  was  heard  in  Ra'mah, 
Weeping  and  great  mourning, 
Rachel  weeping  for  her  children  ; 

And  she  would  not  be  comforted,  because  they  are 
not. 

19  But  when  Her'od  was  dead,  behold,  an  angel  of 
the  Lord  appeareth  in  a  dream  to  Jo'seph  in  E'gypt, 

20  saying.  Arise  and  take  the  young  child  and  his 
mother,  and  go  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el :  for  they 

21  are  dead  that  sought  the  young  child's  life.  And 
he  arose  and  took  the  young  child  an-d  his  mother, 

22  and  came  into  the  land  of  Is'ra-el.  But  when  he 
heard  that  Ar-che-la'us  was  reigning  over  Ju-dse'a  in 
the  room  of  his  father  Her'od,  he  was  afraid  to  go 
thither;  and   being   warned  of  God  in  a  dream,  he 

23  withdrew  into  the  parts  of  Gal'i-lee,  and  came  and 
dwelt  in  a  city  called  Naz'a-reth  :  that  it  might  be 
fulfilled  which  was  spoken  'by  the  prophets,  that  he 
should  be  called  a  Naz'a-rene.

CHAPTER     III. 

The  preaching  of  John  the  Baptist. 

IN  those  days  came  "John  the  Baptist,  preaching  'in  the 
wilderness  of  Ju-de'a, 

2  And  saying,  Repent  ye :  for  "the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
at  hand. 

3  For  this  is  he  that  was  spoken  of  by  the  prophet  E-sa'ias, 
saying,  ''The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness,  'Prepare 
ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make  his  paths  straight. 

4  And-'^the  same  John  "had  his  raiment  of  camel's  hair, 
and  a  leathern  girdle  about  his  loins;  and  his  meat  was 
*locusts  and  'wild  honey. 

5  *Then  went  out  to  him  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  Ju-de'a, 
and  all  the  region  round  about  Jor'dan, 

6  'And  were  baptized  of  him  in  Jor'dan,  confessing  their 
sins. 

7  ^But  when  he  saw  many  of  the  Phar'i-sees  and  Sad'- 
du-cees  come  to  his  baptism,  he  said  unto  them,  "O  genera- 
tion of  vipers,  who  hath  warned  you  to  flee  from  "the  wrath 
to  come? 

8  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits  ||meet  for  repentance: 

9  And  think  not  to  say  within  yourselves,  "We  have 
A'bra-ham  to  oxir  father :  for  I  say  unto  you,  that  God  is 
able  of  these  stones  to  raise  up  children  unto  A'bra-ham. 

10  And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid  unto  the  root  of  the  trees : 
"therefore  every  tree  which  bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit  is 
hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire. 

11  'I  indeed  baptize  you  with  water  unto  repentance :  but 
he  that  cometh  after  me  is  mightier  than  I,  whose  shoes  I 
am  not  worthy  to  bear :  ""he  shall  baptize  you  with  the 
Holy  Ghost,  and  with  fire : 

12  'Whose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and  he  will  thoroughly 
purge  his  floor,  and  gather  his  wheat  into  the  garner;  but 
he  will  'burn  up  the  chaS"with  unquenchable  fire. 

13  ^"Then  cometh  Jesus  "'from  Gal'i-lee  to  Jor'dan  unto 
John,  to  be  baptized  of  him. 

14  But  John  forbade  him,  saying,  I  have  need  to  be  bap- 
tized of  thee,  and  comest  thou  to  me? 

15  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  him,  Suffer  it  to  be  so 
now :  for  thus  it  becometh  us  to  fulfil  all  righteousness. 
Then  he  suffered  him. 

16  "And  Jesus,  when  he  was  baptized,  went  up  straightway 
out  of  the  water:  and,  lo,  the  heavens  were  opened  unto 
him,  and  he  saw  'the  Spirit  of  God  descending  like  a  dove, 
and  lighting  upon  him: 

17  "And  lo  a  voice  from  heaven,  saying,  ""This  is  my  be- 
loved Son,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased. 

CHAPTER     IV. 

Christ's  fasting  and  temptation. 

THEN  was  "Jesus  led  up  of  ''the  Spirit  into  the   wilder- 
ness to  be  tempted  of  the  devil. 

2  And  when  he  had  fasted  forty  days  and  forty  nights,  he 
was  afterward  a  hungered. 

3  And  when  the  tempter  came  to  him,  he  said.  If  thou  be 
the  Son  of  God,  command  that  these  stones  be  made 
bread. 

4  But  he  answered  and  said.  It  is  written,  "Man  shall  not 
live  by  bread  alone,  but  by  every  word  that  proceedeth  out 
of  the  mouth  of  God. 

5  Then  the  devil  taketh  him  up  ''into  the  holy  city,  and 
setteth  him  on  a  pinnacle  of  the  temple, 

6  And  saith  unto  him,  If  thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  cast 
thyself  down  :  for  it  is  written,  'He  shall  give  his  angels 
charge  concerning  thee :  and  in  their  hands  they  shall  bear 
thee  up,  lest  at  any  time  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

7  Jesus  said  unto  him.  It  is  written  again,  ■'Thou  shalt  not 
tempt  the  Lord  thy  God. 

8  Again,  the  devil  taketh  him  up  into  an  exceeding  high 


^     And   in    those    days   cometh    John    the    Baptist, 

2  preaching  in  the  wilderness  of  Ju-dse'a,  saying,  Re- 
pent ye;  for  the    kingdom   of  heaven   is   at   hand. 

3  For  this  is  he  that  was  spoken  of  'by  I-sa'iah  the 
prophet,  saying. 

The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness, 
Make  ye  ready  the  way  of  the  Lord, 
Make  his  paths  straight. 

4  Now  John  himself  had  his  raiment  of  camel's  hair, 
and  a  leathern  girdle  about  his  loins ;  and  his  food 

5  was  locusts  and  wild  honey.  Then  went  out  unto 
him  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  Ju-das'a,  and  all  the  region 

6  round  about  Jor'dan  ;  and  they  were  baptized  of  him 

7  in  the  river  Jor'dan,  confessing  their  sins.  But  when 
he  saw  many  of  the  Phar'i-sees  and  Sad'du-cees  com- 
ing to  his  baptism,  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  offspring 
of  vipers,  who  warned  you  to  flee  from  the  wrath 

8 to    come?     Bring    forth   therefore    fruit  worthy  of 

9  ^repentance  :  and  think  not  to  say  within  yourselves. 

We  have  A'bra-ham  to  our  father :  for  I  say  unto  you, 

that  God  is  able  of  these  stones  to  raise  up  children 

10  unto  A'bra-ham.  And  even  now  is  the  axe  laid  unto 
the  root  of  the  trees:  every  tree  therefore  that 
bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast 

11  into  the  fire.  I  indeed  baptize  you  'with  water  unto 
repentance :  but  he  that  cometh  after  me  is  mightier 
than  I,  whose  shoes  I  am  not  Vorthy  to  bear :  he 
shall  baptize  you  %ith   the  Holy  Ghost  and  vnth 

12  fire :  whose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and  he  will  thoroughly 
cleanse  his  threshing-floor;  and  he  will  gather  his 
wheat  into  the  garner,  but  the  chaff  he  will  burn  up 
with  unquenchable  fire. 

13  Then  cometh  Jesus  from  Gal'i-lee  to  the  Jor'dan 

14  unto  John,  to  be  baptized  of  him.  But  John  would 
have   hindered  him,  saying,  I  have  need  to  be  bap 

15tized  of  thee,  and  comest  thou  to  me?  But  Jesus 
answering  said  unto  him.  Suffer  Ht  now :  for  thus  it 
becometh  us   to   fulfil  all  righteousness.     Then   he 

16suffereth  him.  And  Jesus,  when  he  was  baptized, 
went  up  straightway  from  the  water :  and  lo,  the 
heavens  were  opened  *unto  him  and  he  saw  the 
Spirit  of  God    descending  as  a  dove,  and   coming 

17  upon  him ;  and  lo,  a  voice  out  of  the  heavens,  say- 
ing, 'This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I  am  well 
pleased. 

^     Then  was  Jesus  led  up  of  the  Spirit  into  the  wil- 

2  derness  to  be  tempted  of  the  devil.  And'when  he 
had  fasted  forty  days  and  forty  nights,  he  afterward 

3  hungered.  And  the  tempter  came  and  said  unto 
him.  If  thou  art   the    son  of  God,   command   that 

4  these  stones  become  'bread.  But  he  answered  and 
said,  It  is  written,  Man  shall  not  live  by  bread  alone, 
but  by  every  word  that  proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth 

5  of  God.    Then  the  devil  taketh  him  into  the  holy  city ; 

6  and  he  set  him  on  the  'pinnacle  of  the  temple,  and 
saith  unto  him.  If  thou  art  the  Son  of  God,  cast 
thyself  down  :  for  it  is  written. 

He  shall  give  his  angels  charge  concerning  thee: 
And  on  their  hands  they  shall  bear  thee  up. 
Lest  haply  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

7  Jesus    said    unto  him.  Again    it  is    written.  Thou 

8  shalt  not  tempt  the  Lord  thy  God.  Again 
the    devil    taketh   him    unto    an    exceeding   high

9  And  saith  unto  him,  All  these  things  will  I  give  thee,  if 
thou  wilt  fall  down  and  worship  me. 

10  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  him,  Get  thee  hence,  Sa'tan :  for 
it  is  written,  "Thou  shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 

11  Then  the  devil  leaveth  him,  and,  behold,  ''angels  came 
and  ministered  unto  him. 

12  ^'Now  when  Jesus  had  heard  that  John  was  ||  cast  into 
prison,  he  departed  into  Gal'i-lee ; 

13  And  leaving  Naz'a-reth,  he  came  and  dwelt  in  Ca-per'- 
na-um,  which  is  upon  the  sea  coast,  in  the  borders  of  Zab'u- 
lon  and  Neph'tha-lim : 

14  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  E-sa'ias 
the  prophet,  saying, 

15  *The  land  of  Zab'u-lon,  and  the  land  of  Neph'tha-lim,  by 
the  way  of  the  sea,  beyond  Jor'dan,  Gal'i-lee  of  the  Gentiles ; 

16  'The  people  which  sat  in  darkness  saw  great  light; 
and  to  them  which  sat  in  the  region  and  shadow  of  death, 
light  is  sprung  up. 

17  ^'"From  that  time  Jesus  began  to  preach,  and  to  say, 
"Repent :  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

18  ^°And  Jesus,  walking  by  the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee,  saw  two 
brethren,  Si'mon  "called  Pe'ter,  and  An'drew  his  brother, 
casting  a  net  into  the  sea :  for  they  were  fishers. 

19  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Follow  me,  and  'I  will  make 
you  fishers  of  men. 

20  ""And  they  straightway  left  their  nets,  and  followed  him. 

21  "And  going  on  from  thence,  he  saw  other  two  breth- 
ren, James  the  son  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  John  his  brother,  in  a 
ship  with  Zeb'e-dee  their  father,  mending  their  nets :  and  he 
called  them. 

22  And  they  immediately  left  the  ship  and  their  father, 
and  followed  him. 

23  ^And  Jesus  went  about  all  Gal'i-lee,  'teaching  in  their 
synagogues,  and  preaching  "the  gospel  of  the  kingdom, 
^and  healing  all  manner  of  sickness  and  all  manner  of  dis- 
ease among  the  people. 

24  And  his  fame  went  throughout  all  Syr'i-a :  and  they 
brought  unto  him  all  sick  people  that  were  taken  with  divers 
diseases  and  torments,  and  those  which  were  possessed  with 
devils,  and  those  which  were  lunatic,  and  those  that  had  the 
palsy ;  and  he  healed  them. 

25  "And  there  followed  him  great  multitudes  of  people 
from  Gal'i-lee,  and  from  De-cap'o-lis,  and  from  Je-ru'sa-lem,

came  and  dwelt  in  Ca-per'na-um,  which  is  by  the  sea, 

14  in  the  borders  of  Zeb'-u-lun  and  Naph'ta-li:  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  'by  I-sa'iah  the 
prophet,  saying, 

15  The  land  of  Zeb'u-lun  and  the  land  of  Naph'ta-li, 
^Toward  the  sea,  beyond  Jor'dan, 

Gal'i-lee  of  the  ^Gentiles, 

16  The  people  which  sat  in  darkness 
Saw  a  great  light, 

And  to  them  which  sat  in  the  region  and  shadow 

of  death. 
To  them  did  light  spring  up. 

17  From  that  time  began  Jesus  to  preach,  and  to 
say.  Repent  ye ;  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at 
hand. 

18  And  walking  by  the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee,  he  saw  two 
brethren,  Si'mon  who  is  called  Pe'ter,  and  An'drew 
his  brother, casting  a  net  into  the  sea;  for  they  were 

19  fishers.     And  he  saith    unto  them.  Come  ye  after 

20  me,  and  I  will  make  you  fishers  of  men.     And  they 

21  straightway  left  the  nets,  and  followed  him.  And 
going  on  from  thence,  he  saw  other  two  brethren, 
*James  the  son  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  John  his  brother,  in 
the  boat  with  Zeb'e-dee  their  father,  mending  their 

22 nets;  and  he  called  them.  And  they  straightway 
left  the  boat  and  their  father,  and  followed  him. 

23  And  'Jesus  went  about  in  all  Gal'i-lee,  teaching  in 
their  synagogues,  and  preaching  the  ^gospel  of  the 
kingdom,  and  healing  all  manner  of  disease  and  all 

24  manner  of  sickness  among  the  people.  And  the 
report  of  him  went  forth  into  all  Syr'i-a:  and  they 
brought  unto  him  all  that  were  sick,  holden  with 
divers  diseases  and  torments,  'possessed  with  devils, 
and   epileptic,  and   palsied;   and   he   healed   them. 

25  And  there  followed  him  great  multitudes  from  Gal'i- 
lee  and  De-cap'o-lis  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  Ju-dse'a 
and  from  beyond  Jor'dan. 

O  And  seeing  the  multitudes,  he  went  up  into  the 
mountain :  and  when  he  had  sat  down,  his  disciples 

2  came  unto  him :  and  he  opened  his  mouth  and 
taught  them,  saying, 

3  Blessed  are  the  poor  in  spirit:  for  theirs  is  the 
kingdom  of  heaven. 

4  'Blessed  are  they  that  mourn:  for  they  shall  be 
comforted. 

5  Blessed  are  the  meek :  fortheyshall  inheritthe  earth. 

6  Blessed  are  they  that  hunger  and  thirst  after 
righteousness:  for  they  shall  be  filled. 

7  Blessed  are  the  merciful:  for  they  shall  obtain 
mercy. 

8  Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart :  for  they  shall  see  God. 

9  Blessed  are  the  peacemakers:  for  they  shall  be 
called  sons  of  God. 

10  Blessed  are  they  that  have  been  persecuted 
for    righteousness'    sake:    for   theirs    is    the    king- 

1 1  dora  of  heaven.  Blessed  are  ye  when  rtien  shall 
reproach  you,  and  persecute  you,  and  say  all 
manner  of  evil  against  you  &Isely,  for  my  sake.

12  "Rejoice,  and  be  exceeding  glad;  for  great  is  your  re- 
ward in  heaven :  for  °so  persecuted  they  the  prophets  which 
were  before  you. 

13  ^Ye  are  the  salt  of  the  earth:  "but  if  the  salt  have  lost  his 
savour,  wherewith  shall  it  be  salted  ?  it  is  thenceforth  good  for 
nothing,  but  to  be  cast  out,  and  to  be  trodden  under  foot  of  men. 

14  'Ye  are  the  light  of  the  world.  A  city  that  is  set  on 
a  hill  cannot  be  hid. 

15  Neither  do  men  'light  a  candle,  and  put  it  under  l|a 
bushel,  but  on  a  candlestick;  and  it  giveth  light  unto  all 
that  are  in  the  house. 

16  Let  your  light  so  shine  before  men,  "that  they  may  see 
your  good  works,  and  'glorify  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

17  "[["Think  not  that  I  am  come  to  destroy  the  law,  or 
the  prophets:  I  am  not  come  to  destroy,  but  to  fulfil. 

18  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  "Till  heaven  and  earth 
pass,  one  jot  or  one  tittle  shall  in  no  wise  pass  from  the 
law,  till  all  be  fulfilled. 

1 9  'Whosoever  therefore  shall  break  one  of  these  least  com- 
mandments, and  shall  teach  men  so,  he  shall  be  called  the  least 
in  the  kingdom  of  heaven :  but  whosoever  shall  do  and  teach 
them,  the  same  shall  be  called  great  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

20  For  I  say  unto  you,  That  except  your  righteousness 
shall  exceed  "the  righteousness  of  the  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees, 
ye  shall  in  no  case  enter  into  th6  kingdom  of  heaven. 

21  ^Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said  ||  by  them  of  old  time, 
•Thou  shalt  not  kill ;  and  whosoever  shall  kill  shall  be  in 
danger  of  the  judgment : 

22  But  I  say  unto  you.  That  "whosoever  is  angry  with 
his  brother  without  a  cause  shall  be  in  danger  of  the  judg  • 
ment:  and  whosoever  shall  say  to  his  brother,  ll'Raca, 
shall  be  in  danger  of  the  council :  but  whosoever  shall  say. 
Thou  fool,  shall  be  in  danger  of  hell  fire. 

23  Therefore,  "if  thou  bring  thy  gift  to  the  altar,  and  there 
rememberest  that  thy  brother  hath  aught  against  thee ; 

24  ''Leave  there  thy  gift  before  the  altar,  and  go  thy  way ;  first 
be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and  then  come  and  offer  thy  gift. 

25  'Agree  with  thine  adversary  quickly,  -'^while  thou  art  in 
the  way  with  him ;  lest  at  any  time  the  adversary  deliver 
thee  to  the  judge,  and  the  judge  deliver  thee  to  the  officer, 
and  thou  be  cast  into  prison. 

26  Verily  I  say  unto  thee.  Thou  shalt  by  no  means  come 
out  thence,  till  thou  hast  paid  the  uttermost  farthing. 

27  T[Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old  time, 
"Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery : 

28  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  Mooketh  on  a 
woman  to  lust  after  her  hath  committed  adultery  with  her 
already  in  his  heart. 

29  *And  if  thy  right  eye  ||  offend  thee,  *pluck  it  out,  and 
cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profitable  for  thee  that  one  of  thy 
members  should  perish,  and  not  that  thy  whole  body  should 
be  cast  into  hell. 

30  And  if  thy  right  hand  offend  thee,  cut  it  off,  and  cast 
it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profitable  for  thee  that  one  of  thy 
members  should  perish,  and  not  that  thy  whole  body  should 
be  cast  into  hell. 

31  It  hath  been  said,  'Whosoever  shall  put  away  his  wife, 
let  him  give  her  a  writing  of  divorcement : 

32  But  I  say  unto  you.  That  "whosoever  shall  put  away 
his  wife,  saving  for  the  cause  of  fornication,  causeth  her  to 
commit  adultery :  and  whosoever  shall  marry  her  that  is 
divorced  committeth  adultery. 

33  T[ Again,  ye  have  heard  that  "it  hath  been  said  by  them 
of  old  time,  "Thou  shalt  not  forswear  thyself,  but  "shalt 
perform  unto  the  Lord  thine  oaths: 

34  But  I  say  unto  you,  'Swear  not  at  all;  neither  by 
heaven;  for  it  is  'God's  throne: 

35  Nor  by  the  earth;  for  it  is  his  footstool:  neither  by 
Je-ru'sa-lem ;  for  it  is  'the  city  of  the  great  King. 


12 Rejoice,  and  be  exceeding  glad:  for  great  is  your 
reward  in  heaven :  for  so  persecuted  they  the 
prophets  which  were  before  you. 

13  Ye  are  the  salt  of  the  earth :  but  if  the  salt  have 
lost  its  savour,  wherewith  shall  it  be  salted?  it  is 
thenceforth  good  for  nothing,  but  to  be  cast  out 

14  and  trodden  under  foot  of  men.  Ye  are  the  light 
of  the  world.     A  city  set  on  a  hill  cannot  be  hid, 

15  Neither  do  men  light  a  lamp,  and  put  it  under  the 
bushel,   but  on  the  stand;  and  it  shineth  unto  all 

16  that  are  in  the  house.  Even  so  let  your  light  shine 
before  men,  that  they  may  see  your  good  works, 
and  glorify  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

17  Think  not  that  I  came  to  destroy  the  law  or  the 
18 prophets:  I  came  not  to  destroy,  but  to  fulfil.     For 

verily  I  say  unto  you.  Till  heaven  and  earth  pass 
away,  one  jot  or  one  tittle  shall  in  no  wise  pass  away 

19  from  the  law,  till  all  things  be  accomplished.  Who- 
soever therefore  shall  break  one  of  these  least  com- 
mandments, and  shall  teach  men  so,  shall  be  called 
least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven:  but  whosoever 
shall  do  and  teach  them,  he  shall  be  called  great  in 

20  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  For  I  say  unto  you,  that 
except  your  righteousness  shall  exceed  the  righteous- 
ness of  the  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  ye  shall  in  no  wise 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

21  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said  to  them  of  old 
time.  Thou  shalt  not  kill;  and  whosoever  shall  kill 

22 shall  be  in  danger  of  the  judgement:  but  I  say  unto 
you,  that  every  one  who  is  angry  with  his  brother 
'shall  bie  in  danger  of  the  judgement;  and  whoso- 
ever shall  say  to  his  brother,  ^Raca,  shall  be  in 
danger  of  the  council;  and  whosoever  shall  say, 
^Thou  fool,  shall  be  in  danger  *of  the  'hell  of  fire. 

23  If  therefore  thou  art  offering  thy  gift  at  the  altar, 
and  there  rememberest  that  thy  brother  hath  aught 

24  against  thee,  leave  there  thy  gift  before  the  altar, 
and  go  thy  way,  first  be  reconciled  to  thy  brother, 

25  and  then  come  and  offer  thy  gift.  Agree  with  thine 
adversary  quickly,  whiles  thou  art  with  him  in  the 
way;  lest  haply  the  adversary  deliver  thee  to  the 
judge,  and  the  judge  'deliver  thee  to  the  officer,  and 

26  thou  be  cast  into  prison.  Verily  I  say  unto  thee, 
Thou  shalt  by  no  means  come  out  thence,  till  thou 
have  paid  the  last  farthing. 

27  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said,  Thou   shalt  not 

28  commit  adultery :  but  I  say  unto  you,  that  every 
one  that  looketh  on  a  woman  to  lust  after  her  hath 
commited  adultery  with  her  already  in  his  heart. 

29  And  if  thy  right  eye  causeth  thee  to  stumble,  pluck 
it  out,  and  cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profitable  for 
thee  that  one  of  thy  members  should  perish,  and  not 

30  thy  whole  body  be  cast  into  'hell.  And  if  thy  right 
hand  causeth  thee  to  stumble,  cut  it  off,  and  cast  it 
from  thee:  for  it  is  profitable  for  thee  that  one  of 
thy  members  should  perish,  and  not  thy  whole  body 

31  go  into  'hell.  It  was  said  also.  Whosoever  shall  put 
away  his  wife,  let  him  give  her  a  writing  of  divorce- 

32  ment :  but  I  say  unto  you,  that  every  one  that  putteth 
away  his  wife,  saving  for  the  cause  of  fornication, 
maketh  her  an  adulteress :  and  whosoever  shall  marry 
her  when  she  is  put  away  committeth  adultery. 

33  Again,  ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said  to  them 
of  old  time.  Thou  shalt  not  forswear  thyself, 
but    shalt    perform    unto    the    Lord    thine    oaths: 

34 but   I   say    unto    you.    Swear   not  at  all;   neither 

35  by  the  heaven,  for  it  is  the  throne  of  God ;  nor  by 

the  earth,  for  it  is  the  footstool  of  his  feet ;  nor 

'by  Je-ru'sa-lem,  for  it  is  the  city  of  the  great  King.

37  'But  let  your  communication  be,  Yea,  yea;  nay,  nay: 
for  whatsoever  is  more  than  these  cometh  of  evil. 

38  ^Ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  "An  eye  for  an

45  That  ye  may  be  the  children  of  your  Father  which  is 
in  heaven :  for  -^he  maketh  his  sun  to  rise  on  the  evil  and 
on  the  good,  and  sendeth  rain  on  the  just  and  on  the  unjust. 

46  "For  if  ye  love  them  which  love  you,  what  reward  have 
ye  ?  do  not  even  the  publicans  the  same  ? 

47  And  if  ye  salute  your  brethren  only,  what  do  ye  more 
than  others?  do  not  even  the  publicans  so? 

48  *Be  ye  therefore  perfect,  even  *as  your  Father  which  is 
in  heaven  is  perfect. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

Of  aims,  prayer,  forgiveness,  &c. 

TAKE  heed  that  ye  do  not  your  ||alms  before  men,  to 
be  seen  of  them :  otherwise  ye  have  no  reward  ||of  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

2  Therefore  "when  thou  doest  thine  alms,  ||do  not  sound 
a  trumpet  before  thee,  as  the  hypocrites  do  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  streets,  that  they  may  have  glory  of  men. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you.  They  have  their  reward. 

3  But  when  thou  doest  alms,  let  not  thy  left  hand  know 
what  thy  right  hand  doeth : 

4  That  thine  alms  may  be  in  secret :  and  thy  Father  which 
seeth  in  secret  himself  'shall  reward  thee  openly. 

5  ^And  when  thou  prayest,  thou  shalt  not  be  as  the  hypo- 
crites art:  for  they  love  to  pray  standing  in  the  synagogues 
and  in  the  comers  of  the  streets,  that  they  may  be  seen  of 
men.     Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They  have  their  reward. 

6  But  thou,when  thou  prayest,''enter  into  thy  closet,  and  when 
thou  hast  shut  thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father  which  is  in  secret ; 
and  thy  Father  which  seeth  in  secret  shall  reward  thee  openly. 

7  But  when  ye  pray,  ""use  not  vain  repetitions,  as  the 
heathen  do:  'for  they  think  that  they  shall  be  heard  for 
their  much  speaking. 

8  Be  not  ye  therefore  like  unto  them:  for  your  Father 
knoweth  what  things  ye  have  need  of,  before  ye  ask  him. 

9  After  this  manner  therefore  pray  ye :  ■'Our  Father  which 
art  in  heaven.  Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

10  Thy  kingdom  come.  'Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  *as 
t<  is  in  heaven. 

11  Give  us  this  day  our  'daily  bread. 

12  And  *forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive  our  debtors. 

13  'And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  "deliver  us  from 
evil:  "For  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the 
glory,  for  ever.     Amen. 

14  "For  if  ye  forgive  men  their  trespasses,  your  heavenly 
Father  will  also  forgive  you : 

15  But  "if  ye  forgive  not  men  their  trespasses,  neither  will 
your  Father  forgive  your  trespasses. 

16  ^Moreover 'when  ye  fast, be  not,as  the  hypocrites,  ofa  sad 
countenance:  for  theydisfigure  their  faces,that  they  may  appear 
onto  men  to  fast.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,They  have  their  reward. 


36  Neither  shalt  thou  swear  by  thy  head,  for  thou  canst 

37  not  make  one  hair  white  or  black.  'But  let  your 
speech  be,  Yea,  yea;  nay,  nay:  and  whatsoever  is 
more  than  these  is  of  ^the  evil  one. 

38  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said.  An  eye  for  an 
39 eye,  and  a  tooth  for  a  tooth:  but  I  say  unto  you, 

Resist  not  ^him  that  is  evil :  but  whosoever  smiteth 
thee  on  thy  right  cheek,  turn  to  him  the  other  also. 

40  And  if  any  man  would  go  to  law  with  thee,  and 
take   away  thy  coat,  let  him   have  thy  cloke  also. 

41  And  whosoever  shall  ^compel  thee  to  go  one  mile, 

42  go  with  him  twain.  Give  to  him  that  asketh  thee, 
and  from  him  that  would  borrow  of  thee  turn  not 
thou  away. 

43  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said,  Thou  shalt  love 
44 thy  neighbour,  and  hate  thine  enemy:  but  I  say 

unto  you.  Love  your  enemies,  and  pray  for  them 

45  that  persecute  you ;  that  ye  may  be  sons  of  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven :  for  he  maketh  his  sun  to 
rise  on  the  evil  and  the  good,  and  sendeth  rain  on 

46  the  just  and  the  unjust.  For  if  ye  love  them  that 
love   you,  what  reward  have  ye?  do  not  even  the 

47 'publicans  the  same?  And  if  ye  salute  your  bretli.- 
ren  only,  what  do  ye  more  than  others  f  do  not  even 

48 the  Gentiles  the  same?  Ye  therefore  shall  be  per- 
fect, as  your  heavenly  Father  is  perfect. 

O  Take  heed  that  ye  do  not  your  righteousness  be- 
fore men,  to  be  seen  of  them :  else  ye  have  no  reward 
with  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

2  When  therefore  thou  doest  alms,  sound  not  a 
trumpet  before  thee,  as  the  hypocrites  do  in  the 
synagogues  and  in  the  streets,  that  they  may  have 
glory  of  men.     Verily  I  say  unto  you.  They  have 

3  received  their  reward.  But  when  thou  doest  alms, 
let  not  thy  left  hand  know  what  thy  right  hand 

4 doeth:  that  thine  alms  may  be  in  secret:  and 
thy  Father  which  seeth  in  secret  shall  recompense 
thee. 

5  And  when  ye  pray,  ye  shall  not  be  as  the  hypo- 
crites :  for  they  love  to  stand  and  pray  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  corners  of  the  streets,  that  they 
may  be  seen  of  men.     Verily  I  say  unto  you.  They 

6  have  received  their  reward.  But  thou,  when  thou 
prayest,  enter  into  thine  inner  chamber,  and  hav- 
ing shut  thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father  which  is  in 
secret,  and  thy  Father  which  seeth  in  secret  shall 

7  recompense  thee.  And  in  praying  use  not  vain 
repetitions,  as  the  Gentiles  do:  for  they  think  that 

8  they  shall  be  heard  for  their  much  speaking.  Be 
not  therefore  like  unto  them :  for  'your  Father 
knoweth  what  things  ye  have  need  of,  before  ye  ask 

9  him.  After  this  manner  therefore  pray  ye :  Our 
Father  which  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

10  Thy  kingdom  come.     Thy  will  be  done,  as  in  heaven, 

1 1  so  on  earth.     Give  us   this   day  ^our  daily   bread. 

12  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  also  have  forgiven 

13  our  debtors.     And  bring  us  not  into  temptation,  but 

14  deliver  us  from  *the  evil  one?  For  if  ye  forgive 
men  their  trespasses,  your  heavenly  Father  will  also 

15  forgive  you.  But  if  ye  forgive  not  men  their  tres- 
passes, neither  will  your  Father  forgive  your  tres- 
passes. 

16  Moreover  when  ye  fast,  be  not,  as  the  hypocrites, 
of  a  sad  countenance :  for  they  disfigure  their  faces, 
that  they  may  be  seen  of  men  to  fast.  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  They   have   received  their  reward.

17  But  thou,  when  thou  fastest,  'anoint  thine  head,  and 
wash  thy  face; 

18  That  thou  appear  not  unto  men  to  fast,  but  unto  thy 
Father  which  is  in  secret :  and  thy  Father  which  seeth  in 
secret  shall  reward  thee  openly. 

19  ^'Lay  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures  upon  earth, 
where  moth  and  rust  doth  corrupt,  and  where  thieves  break 
through  and  steal : 

20  'But  lay  up  for  yourselves  treasures  in  heaven,  where 
neither  moth  nor  rust  doth  corrupt,  and  where  thieves  do 
not  break  through  nor  steal : 

21  For  where  your  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

22  "The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye :  if  therefore  thine  eye 
be  single,  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full  of  light. 

23  But  if  thine  eye  be  evil,  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full 
of  darkness.  If  therefore  the  light  that  is  in  thee  be  dark- 
ness, how  great  is  that  darkness ! 

24  ^■'No  man  can  serve  two  masters :  for  either  he  will  hate 
the  one,  and  love  the  other;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the  one, 
and  despise  the  other.    "Ye  cannot  serve  God  and  mammon. 

25  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  'Take  no  thought  for  your 
life,  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink ;  nor  yet  for 
your  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  Is  not  the  life  more  than 
meat,  and  the  body  than  raiment? 

26  'Behold  the  fowls  of  the  air :  for  they  sow  not,  neither 
do  they  reap,  nor  gather  into  barns :  yet  your  heavenly 
Father  feedeth  them.     Are  ye  not  much  better  than  they  ? 

27  Which  of  you  by  taking  thought  can  add  one  cubit 
unto  his  stature? 

28  And  why  take  ye  thought  for  raiment?  Consider  the  lilies 
of  the  field  how  they  grow ;  they  toil  not,  neither  do  they  spin : 

29  And  yet  I  say  unto  you.  That  even  Sol'o-mon  in  all  his 
glory  was  not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

30  Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe  the  grass  of  the  field, 
which  to-day  is,  and  to-morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven,  shall 
he  not  much  more  clothe  you,  O  ye  of  little  faith  ? 

31  Therefore  take  no  thought,  saying.  What  shall  we  eat  ?  or, 
What  shall  we  drink?  or,  Wherewithal  shall  we  be  clothed? 

32  (For  after  all  these  things  do  the  Gen'tiles  seek :)  for 
your  heavenly  Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  all 
these  things. 

33  But  'seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  his  right- 
eousness; and  all  these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you. 

34  Take  therefore  no  thought  for  the  morrow:  for  the 
morrow  shall  take  thought  for  the  things  of  itself.  Suffi- 
cient unto  the  day  is  the  evil  thereof. 

CHAPTER    VII. 


Christ  endetk  his  sermon. 


JUDGE  "not,  that  ye  be  not  judged. 
2  For  with  what  judgmentye  judge,  yeshall  be  judged:  'and 
with  what  measure  ye  mete,  it  shall  be  measured  to  you  again. 

3  "And  why  beholdest  thou  the  mote  that  is  in  thy  brother's 
eye,  but  considerest  not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own  eye  ? 

4  Or  how  wilt  thou  say  to  thy  brother.  Let  me  pull  out  the 
mote  out  of  thine  eye;  and,  behold,  a  beam  is  in  thine  own  eye  ? 

5  Thou  hypocrite,  first  cast  out  the  beam  out  of  thine  own 
eye ;  and  then  shalt  thou  see  clearly  to  cast  out  the  mote 
cut  of  thy  brother's  eye. 

6  ^''Give  not  that  which  is  holy  unto  the  dogs,  neither 
cast  ye  your  pearls  before  swine,  lest  they  trample  them 
under  their  feet,  and  turn  again  and  rend  you. 

7  ^'Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you;  seek,  and  ye  shall 
find ;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened  unto  you : 

8  For  -^every  one  that  asketh  receiveth  ;  and  he  that  seek- 
eth  findeth;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  .shall  be  opened. 

9  "Or  what  man  is  there  of  you,  whom  if  his  son  ask  bread, 
will  he  give  him  a  stone? 

10  Or  if  he  ask  a  fish,  will  he  give  him  a  serpent? 

11  If  ye  then,  ''being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts 


17  But  thou,  when  thou  fastest,  anoint  thy  head,  and 

18  wash  thy  face ;  that  thou  be  not  seen  of  men  to  fast, 
but  of  thy  Father  which  is  in  secret:  and  thy 
Father,  which  seeth  in  secret,  shall  recompense  thee. 

19  Lay  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures  upon  the 
earth,   where    moth    and    rust   doth    consume,    and 

20  where  thieves  'break  through  and  steal ;  but  lay  up 
for  yourselves  treasures  in  heaven,  where  neither 
moth  nor  rust  doth  consume,  and  where  thieves  do 

21  not  'break  through  nor  steal :  for  where  thy  treasure 

22  is,  there  will  thy  heart  be  also.  The  lamp  of  the 
body  is  the  eye :   if  therefore  thine  eye  be  single, 

23  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full  of  light.  But  if  thine 
eye  be  evil,  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full  of  dark- 
ness.    If  therefore  the  light  that  is  in  thee  be  dark- 

24  ness,  how  great  is  the  darkness !  No  man  can  serve 
two  masters:  for  either  he  will  hate  the  one,  and 
love  the  other ;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  one,  and  de- 
y)ise  the  other.    Ye  cannot  serve  God  and  mammon. 

25  Therefore  I  say  unto  you.  Be  not  anxious  for  your 
life,  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink;  nor 
yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  Is  not  the 
life  more   than   the   food,  and  the  body  than  the 

26  raiment?  Behold  the  birds  of  the  heaven,  that  they 
sow  not,  neither  do  they  reap,  nor  gather  into  barns ; 
and  your  heavenly  Father  feedeth  them.     Are  not 

27 ye  of  much  more  value  than  they?  And  which  of 
you  by  being  anxious  can  add  one  cubit  unto  his 

28 ^stature?  And  why  are  ye  anxious  concerning 
raiment?  Consider  the  lilies  of  the  field,  how  they 

29  grow ;  they  toil  not,  neither  do  they  spin  :  yet  I  say 
unto  you,  that  even  Sol'o-mon  in  all  his  glory  was 

30  not  arrayed  like  one  of  these.  But  if  God  doth  so 
clothe  the  grass  of  the  field,  which  to-day  is,  and  to- 
morrow is  cast  into  the  oven,  shall  he  not  much 

31  more  clothe  you,  O  ye  of  little  faith  ?  Be  not  there- 
fore anxious,  saying.  What  shall  we  eat?  or,  What 
shall    we    drink?    or.    Wherewithal    shall   we    be 

32  clothed  ?  For  after  all  these  things  do  the  Gen'tiles 
seek;    for   your   heavenly  Father  knoweth  that  ye 

33  have  need  of  all  these  things.  But  seek  ye  first  his 
kingdom,    and    his    righteousness ;    and    all    these 

34  things  shall  be  added  unto  you.  Be  not  therefore 
anxious  for  the  morrow :  for  tke  morrow  will  be 
anxious  for  itself.  Sufficient  usto  the  day  is  the 
evil  thereof. 

'  JJudge  not,  that  ye  be  not  judged.  For  with  what 
judgement  ye  judge,  ye  shall  be  judged:  and  with 
what   measure  ye  mete,  it  shall  be  measured  unto 

3  you.  And  why  beholdest  thou  the  mote  that  is  in 
thy  brother's  eye,  but  considerest  not  the  beam  that 

4  is  in  thine  own  eye  ?  Or  how  wilt  thou  say  to  thy 
brother,  Let  me  cast  out  the  mote  out  of  thine  eye ; 

5  and  lo,  the  beam  is  in  thine  own  eye  ?  Thou  hypo- 
crite, cast  out  first  the  beam  out  of  thine  own  eye ; 
and  then  shalt  thou  see  clearly  to  cast  out  the  mote 
out  of  thy  brother's  eye. 

6  Give  not  that  which  is  holy  unto  the  dogs,  neither 
cast  your  pearls  before  the  swine,  lest  haply  they 
trample  them  under  their  feet,  and  turn  and  rend  you. 

7  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ;  seek,  and  ye  shall 

8  find ;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened  unto  you ;  for 
every  one  that  asketh  receiveth ;  and  he  that  seeketh 
findeth ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall  be  opened. 

9  Or    what  man   is    there    of  you,    who,    if  his   son 
10 shall  ask  him  for  a  loaf,  will  gi^«  him  a  stone;   or 

if  he  shall  ask  for  a  fish,  will  give  him  a  serpent? 
11  If  ye  then,  being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts

unto    your   children,   how  much  more  shall    your   Father 
which  is  in  heaven  give  good  things  to  them  that  ask  him  ? 

12  Therefore  all  things  'whatsoever  ye  would  that  men 
should  do  to  you,  do  ye  even  so  to  them:  for  *this  is  the 
law  and  the  prophets. 

13  ^'Enter  ye  in  at  the  strait  gate  :  for  wide  is  the  gate, 
and  broad  is  the  way,  that  leadeth  to  destruction,  and  many 
there  be  which  go  in  thereat: 

14  II  Because  strait  is  the  gate,  and  narrow  is  the  way, 
which  leadeth  unto  life,  and  few  there  be  that  find  it. 

15  ^""Beware  of  false  prophets,  "which  come  to  you  in 
sheep's  clothing,  but  inwardly  they  are  "ravening  wolves. 

16  "Ye  shall  know  them  by  their  fruits.  »Do  men  gather 
grapes  of  thorns,  or  figs  of  thistles  ? 

17  Even  so  ""every  good  tree  bringeth  forth  good  fruit; 
but  a  corrupt  tree  bringeth  forth  evil  fruit. 

18  A  good  tree  cannot  bring  forth  evil  fruit,  neither  caw  a 
corrupt  tree  bring  forth  good  fruit. 

19  'Every  tree  that  bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit  is  hewn 
down,  and  cast  into  the  fire. 

20  Wherefore  by  their  fruits  ye  shall  know  them. 

21  ^Not  every  one  that  saith  unto  me,  'Lord,  Lord,  shall 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven;  but  he  that  doeth  the 
will  of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

22  Many  will  say  to  me  in  that  day,  Lord,  Lord,  have  we 
"not  prophesied  in  thy  name  ?  and  in  thy  name  have  cast 
out  devils  ?  and  in  thy  name  done  many  wonderful  works  ? 

23  And  "'then  will  I  profess  unto  them  ?  I  never  knew  you : 
"depart  from  me,  ye  that  work  iniquity. 

24  ^Therefore  'whosoever  heareth  these  sayings  of  mine, 
and  doeth  them,  I  will  liken  him  unto  a  wise  man,  which 
built  his  house  upon  a  rock : 

25  And  the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods  came,  and  the 
winds  blew,  and  beat  upon  that  house ;  and  it  fell  not :  for 
it  was  founded  upon  a  rock.

27  And  the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods  came,  and  the 
winds  blew,  and  beat  upon  that  house ;  and  it  fell :  and  great 
was  the  fall  of  it. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  ended  these  say- 
ings, Hhe  people  were  astonished  at  his  doctrine : 

29  'For  he  taught  them  as  one  having  authority,  and  not 
as  the  scribe^. 

CHAPTER   VIII. 

Chrisfs  miracles. 

WHEN  he  was  come  down  from  the  mountain,  great  mul- 
titudes followed  him. 

2  "And,  behold,  there  came  a  leper  and  worshipped  him, 
saying,  Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

3  And  Jesus  put  forth  his  hand,  and  touched  him,  saying,  I 
will;  be  thou  clean.  And  immediately  his  leprosy  was  cleansed. 

4  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  'See  thou  tell  no  man ;  but  go 
thy  way,  shew  thyself  to  the  priest,  and  offer  the  gift  that 
''Mo'ses  commanded,  for  a  testimony  unto  them. 

6  ^''And  when  Jesus  was  entered  into  Ca-per'na-um,  there 
'lame  unto  him  a  centurion,  beseeching  him, 

6  And  saying.  Lord,  my  servant  lietn  at  home  sick  of  the 
palsy,  grievously  tormented. 

7  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  will  come  and  heal  him. 

8  The  centurion  answered  and  said.  Lord,  "I  am  not  worthy 
that  thou  shouldest  come  under  my  roof:  but  ■'speak  the 
word  onhr,  and  my  servant  shall  be  healed. 

9  For  I  am  a  man  under  authority,  having  soldiers  under 
me :  and  I  say  to  this  man,  Go,  and  he  goeth ;  and  to 
another.  Come,  and  he  cometh;  and  to  my  servant.  Do  this, 
and  he  doeth  ii. 

10  When  Jesus  heard  il,  he  marvelled,  and  said  to  them 


unto  your  children,  how  much  more  shall  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven  give  good  things  to  them 
12 that  ask  him?  All  things  therefore  whatsoever  ye 
would  that  men  should  do  unto  you,  even  so  do  ye 
also  unto  them :  for  this  is  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

13  Enter  ye  in  by  the  narrow  gate:  for  wide  'is  the 
gate,  and  broad  is  the  way,  that  leadeth  to  destruc 

14  tion,  and  many  be  they  that  enter  in  thereby.  Tor 
narrow  is  the  gate,  and  straitened  the  way,  that  lead- 
eth unto  life,  and  few  be  they  that  find  it. 

15  Beware  of  false  prophets,  which  come  to  you  in 
sheep's  clothing,  but  inwardly  are  ravening  wolves. 

16  By  their  fruits  ye  shall  know  them.     Do  men  gather 

17  grapes  of  thorns,  or  figs  of  thistles  ?  Even  so  every 
good  tree  bringeth  forth  good  fruit ;  but  the  corrupt 

18  tree  bringeth  forth  evil  fruit.  A  good  tree  cannot 
bring  forth  evil  fruit,  neither  can  a  corrupt  tree  bring 

19  forth  good  fruit.     Every  tree  that  bringeth  not  forth 

food  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire. 
„  herefore  by  their  fruits  ye  shall  know  them.  Not 
every  one  that  saith  unto  me.  Lord,  Lord,  shall  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  heaven ;  but  he  that  doeth  the 
22  will  of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven.  Many  will 
say  to  me  in  that  day,  Lord,  Lord,  did  we  not  proph 
esy  by  thy  name,  and  by  thy  name  cast  out  Mevils, 
23 and  by  thy  name  do  many  ^mighty  works?  And 
then  will  I  profess  unto  them,  I  never  knew  you : 

24  depart  from  me,  ye  that  work  iniquity.  Every  one 
therefore  which  heareth  these  words  of  mine,  and 
doeth  them,  shall  be  likened  unto  a  wise  man,  which 

25  built  his  house  upon  the  rock :  and  the  rain  descended, 
and  the  floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and  beat 
upon  that  house ;  and  it  fell  not :  for  it  was  founded 

26  upon  the  rock.  And  every  one  that  heareth  these 
words:  of  mine,  and  doeth  them  not,  shall  be  likened 
unto  a  foolish  man,  which  built  his  house  upon  the 

27  sand :  and  the  rain  descended,  and  the  floods  came, 
and  the  winds  blew,  and  smote  upon  that  house ; 
and  it  fell :  and  great  was  the  fall  thereof. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  ended  these 
words,  the  multitudes  were  astonished  at  his  teach- 

29  ing :  for  he  taught  them  as  one,  having  authority,  and 
not  as  their  scribes. 

O    And  when  he  was  come  down  from  the  mountain, 

2  great  multitudes  followed  him.  And  behold,  there 
came  to  him  a  leper  and  worshipped  him,  saying, 

3  Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean.  And 
he  stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  touched  him,  saying, 
I    will ;    be    thou    made   clean.     And    straightway 

4  his  leprosy  was  cleansed.  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him. 
See  thou  tell  no  man :  but  go  thy  way,  shew  thyself 
to  the  priest,  and  offer  the  gift  that  Mo'ses  com- 
manded, for  a  testimony  unto  them. 

5  And  when  he  was  entered  into  Ca-per'na-um,  there 

6  came  unto  him  a  centurion,  beseeching  him,  and  say- 
ing. Lord,  my  'servant  lieth  in  the  house  sick  of  the 

7  palsy, grievously  tormented.     And  he  saith  unto  him, 
81  will  come  and  heal  him.     And  the  centurion  an- 
swered and  said.  Lord,  I  am  not  'worthy  that  thou 
shouldest  come  under  my  roof:  but  only  say  'the 

9  word,  and  my  'servant  shall  be  healed.  For  I 
also  am  a  man  *under  authority,  having  under 
myself  soldiers :  and  I  say  to  this  one.  Go,  and 
he  goeth ;  and  to  another.  Come,  and  he  cometh ; 
and  to  my  'servant.  Do  this,  and  he  doeth  it.  And 
10  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  marvelled,  and  said  to  them

that  followed,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  have  not  found  so 
great  faith,  no,  not  in  Is'ra-el. 

11  And  I  say  unto  you.  That  "many  shall  come  from  the 
east  and  west,  and  shall  sit  down  with  A'bra-ham,  and  I'saac, 
and  Ja'cob,  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven : 

12  But  *the  children  of  the  kingdom  %hall  be  cast  out  into 
outer  darkness:  there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

13  And  Jesus  said  unto  the  centurion.  Go  thy  way;  and 
as  thou  hast  believed,  so  be  it  done  unto  thee.  And  his 
servant  was  healed  in  the  selfsame  hour. 

14  ^*And  when  Jesus  was  come  into  Pe'ter's  house,  he 
saw  'his  wife's  mother  laid,  and  sick  of  a  fever. 

15  And  he  touched  her  hand,  and  the  fever  left  her:  and 
she  arose,  and  ministered  unto  *hem. 

16  ^'"When  the  even  was  come,  they  brought  unto  him 
many  that  were  possessed  with  devils:  and  he  cast  out  the 
spirits  with  his  word,  and  healed  all  that  were  sick : 

17  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  E-.sa'ias 
the  prophet,  saying,  "Himself  took  our  infirmities,  and  bare 
our  sicknesses. 

18  %Xow  when  Jesus  saw  great  multitudes  about  him,  he 
gave  commandment  to  depart  unto  the  other  side. 

19  "And  a  certain  scribe  came,  and  said  unto  him,  Master, 
I  will  follow  thee  whithersoever  thou  goest. 

20  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  The  foxes  have  holes,  and 
the  birds  of  the  air  have  nests ;  but  the  Son  of  man  hath  not 
where  to  lay  his  head. 

21  "And  another  of  his  disciples  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
'suffer  me  first  to  go  and  bury  my  father. 

22  But  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Follow  me ;  and  let  the  dead 
bury  their  dead. 

23  5[And  when  he  Avas  entered  into  a  ship,  his  disciples  fol- 
lowed him. 

24  ''And,  behold,  there  arose  a  great  tempest  in  the  sea, 
insomuch  that  the  ship  was  covered  with  the  waves :  but 
he  was  asleep. 

25  And  his  disciples  came  to  him,  and  awoke  him,  saying, 
Lord,  save  us :  we  perish. 

26  And  he  .saith  unto  them,  Why  are  ye  fearful,  O  ye  of 
little  faith?  Then  'he  arose  and  rebuked  the  winds  and  the 
sea;  and  there  was  a  great  calm. 

27  But  the  men  marvelled,  saying.  What  manner  of  man 
is  this,  that  even  the  winds  and  the  sea  obey  him ! 

28  ^'And  when  he  was  come  to  the  other  side,  into  the 
country  of  the  Ger'ge-senes,  there  met  him  two  possessed 
with  devils,  coming  out  of  the  tombs,  exceeding  fierce,  so 
that  no  man  might  pass  by  that  way. 

29  And,  behold,  they  cried  out,  .saying,  What  have  we  to 
do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  God  ?  art  thou  come  hither 
to  torment  us  before  the  time  ? 

30  And  there  was  a  good  way  off  from  them  a  herd  of 
many  swine  feeding. 

31  So  the  devils  besought  him,  saying,  If  thou  cast  us  out, 
suffer  us  to  go  away  into  the  herd  of  swine. 

32  And  he  said  unto  them.  Go.  And  when  they  were 
come  out,  they  went  into  the  herd  of  swine  :  and,  behold,  the 
whole  herd  of  swine  ran  violently  down  a  steep  place  into 
the  sea,  and  perished  in  the  waters. 

33  And  they  that  kept  them  fled  and  went  their  ways  into 
the  city,  and  told  every  thing ;  and  what  was  befallen  to  the 
possessed  of  the  devils. 

34  And,  behold,  the  whole  city  came  out  to  meet  Jesus :  and 
when  they  saw  him,  "they  besought  Am  that  he  would  depart 
out  of  their  coasts. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Christ  cureth  the  palsy. 

AND  he  entered  into  a  ship,  and  passed  over,  "and  came 
into  his  own  city. 
2  "And,  behold,  they  brought  to  him  a  man  sick  of  the  palsy. 


that  followed,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  'I  have  not 
11  found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in  Is'ra-el.  And  I  say 
unto  you,  that  many  shall  come  from  the  east  and 
the  west,  and  shall  ^sit  down  with  A'bra-ham,  and 
12 I'saac,  and  Ja'cob,  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven:  but 
the  sons  of  the  kingdom  shall  be  cast  forth  into 
the   outer  darkness:    there   shall    be    the    weeping 

13  and  gnashing  of  teeth.  And  Jesus  said  unto  the 
centurion.  Go  thy  way ;  as  thou  hast  believed,  so 
be  it  done  unto  thee.  And  the  'servant  was  healed 
in  that  hour. 

14  And  when  Jesus  was  come  into  Pe'ter's  house,  he 

15  saw  his  wife's  mother  lying  sick  of  a  fever.  And  he 
touched  her  hand,  and  the  fever  left  her;   and  she 

16  arose,  and  ministered  unto  him.  And  when  even 
was  come,  they  brought  unto  him  many  ^possessed 
with  devils :  and  he  cast  out  the  spirits  with  a  word, 

17 and  healed  all  that  were  sick:  that  it  might  be  ful 
filled   which  was   spoken  'by  I-sa'iah  the  prophet, 
saying,  Himself  took  our  infirmities,  and  bare  our 
diseases. 

18  Now  when  Jesus  saw  great  multitudes  about  him, 
he  gave  commandment  to  depart  unto  the  other  side. 

19  And  there  came  *a  scribe,  and  said  unto  him,  'Mas- 
ter, I  will    follow   thee    Avhithersoever  thou   goest. 

20  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  The  foxes  have  holes, 
and  the  birds  of  the  heaven   have  'nests;    but  the 

21  Son  of  man  hath  not  where  to  lay  his  head.  And 
another  of  his  disciples  said  unto  him,  Lord,  suffer 

22  me  first  to  go  and  bury  my  father.  But  Jesus  saith 
unto  him,  Follow  me;  and  leave  the  dead  to  bury 
their  own  dead. 

23  And  when  he  was  entered  into  a  boat,  his  disciples 

24  followed  him.  And  behold,  there  arose  a  great  tem- 
pest in  the  sea,  insomuch  that  the  boat  was  covered 

25  with  the  waves :  but  he  was  asleep.  And  they  came 
to    him,  and   awoke    him,  saying.   Save,  Lord;  we 

26  perish.  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Why  are  ye 
fearful,  O  ye  of  little  faith  ?  Then  he  arose,  and 
rebuked  the  winds  and  the   sea;    and  there  was  a 

27  great  calm.  And  the  men  marvelled,  saying,  What 
manner  of  man  is  this,  that  even  the  winds  and  the 
sea  obey  him? 

28  And  when  he  was  come  to  the  other  side  into 
the  country  of  the  Gad'a-renes,  there  met  him  two 
^possessed  with  devils,  coming  forth  out  of  the 
tombs,  exceeding  fierce,  so  that  no  man  could  pass 

29  by  that  way.  And  behold,  they  cried  out,  saying. 
What  have  we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Son  of  God? 
art  thou  come  hither  to  torment  us  before  the  time  ? 

30  Now  there  was  afar  off  from  them  a  herd  of  many 

31  swine  feeding.  And  the  'devils  besought  him,  say- 
ing. If  thou  cast  us  out,  send  us  away  into  the  herd 

32  of  swine.  And  he  said  unto  them,  Go.  And  they 
came  out,  and  went  into  the  swine :  and  behold,  the 
whole  herd  rushed  down  the  steep  into  the  sea,  and 

33peri.shed  in  the  waters.  And  they  that  fed  them 
fled,  and  went  away  into  the  city,  and  told  every 
thing,  and   what   was  befallen  to  them   that  were 

34 ''possessed  with  devils.  And  behold,  all  the  city 
came  out  to  meet  Jesus.:  and  when  they  saw  him, 
they  besought  him,  that  he  would  depart  from  their 
borders.

lying  on  a  bed :  'and  Jlesus  seeing  their  faith  said  unto  the  sick 
of  the  palsy;  Son,  be  of  good  cheer;  thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee. 

3  And,  behold,  certain  of  the  scribes  said  within  themselves, 
This  man  blasphemeth. 

4  And  Jesus  ''knowing  their  thoughts  said.  Wherefore 
think  ye  evil  in  your  hearts? 

5  For  whether  is  easier,  to  say,  Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee; 
or  to  say.  Arise,  and  walk? 

6  But  that  ye  may  know  that  the  Son  of  man  hath  power 
on  earth  to  forgive  sins,  (then  saith  he  to  the  sick  of  the  palsy,) 
Arise,  take  up  thy  bed,  and  go  unto  thine  house. 

7  And  he  arose,  and  departed  to  his  house. 

8  But  when  the  multitudes  saw  it,  they  marvelled,  and  glo- 
rified God,  which  had  given  such  power  unto  men. 

9  ^*And  as  Jesus  passed  forth  from  thence,  he  saw  a  man, 
named  Mat'thew,  sitting  at  the  receipt  of  custom :  and  he  saith 
unto  him,  Follow  me.     And  he  arose,  and  followed  him. 

10  ^-^And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Jesus  sat  at  meat  in  the  house, 
behold,  many  publicans  and  sinners  came  and  sat  down  with 
him  and  his  disciples. 

11  And  when  the  Phar'i-sees  saw  it,  they  said  unto  his  disci- 
ples, Why  eateth  your  master  with  "publicans  and  ''sinners? 

12  But  when  Jesus  heard  that,  he  said  unto  them.  They  that 
be  whole  need  not  a  physician,  but  they  that  are  sick. 

13  But  go  ye  and  learn  what  thai  meaneth,  'T  will  have 
mercy,  and  not  sacrifice:  for  I  am  not  come  to  call  the 
righteous,  *but  sinners  to  repentance. 

14  TfThen  came  to  him  the  disciples  of  John,  saying,  'Why 
do  we  and  the  Phar'i-sees  fast  oft,  but  thy  disciples  fast  not? 

15  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Can  "the  children  of  the 
bridechamber  mourn,  as  long  as  the  bridegroom  is  with 
them?  but  the  days  will  come,  when  the  bridegroom  shall 
be  taken  from  them,  and  "then  shall  they  fast. 

16  No  man  putteth  a  piece  of  ||  new  cloth  unto  an  old  gar- 
ment :  for  that  which  is  put  in  to  fill  it  up^  taketh  from  the 
garment,  and  the  rent  is  made  worse. 

17  Neither  do  men  put  new  wine  into  old  bottles:  else  the 
bottles  break,  and  the  wine  runneth  out,  and  the  bottles 
perish :  but  they  put  new  wine  into  new  bottles,  and  both 
are  preserved. 

18  ^° While  he  spake  these  things  unto  them,  behold,  there 
came  a  certain  ruler,  and  worshipped  him,  saying.  My  daugh- 
ter is  even  now  dead :  but  come  and  lay  thy  hand  upon  her, 
and  she  shall  live. 

19  And  Jesus  arose,  and  followed  him,  and  so  did  his  dis- 
ciples. 

20  ^"And,  behold  a  woman  which  was  diseased  with  an 
issue  of  blood  twelve  years,  came  behind  him,  and  touched 
the  hem  of  his  garment : 

21  For  she  said  within  herself,  If  I  may  but  touch  his  gar- 
ment, I  shall  be  whole. 

22  But  Jesus  turned  him  about,  and  when  he  saw  her,  he 
said.  Daughter,  be  of  good  comfort ;  "thy  faith  hath  made 
thee  whole.    And  the  woman  was  made  whole  from  that  hour. 

23  ''And  when  Jesus  came  into  the  ruler's  house,  and  saw 
'the  minstrels  and  the  people  making  a  noise, 

24  He  said  unto  them,  'Give  place:  for  the  maid  is  not 
dead,  but  sleepeth.     And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn. 

25  But  when  the  people  were  put  forth,  he  went  in,  and 
took  her  by  the  hand,  and  the  maid  arose. 

26  And  II  the  fame  hereof  went  abroad  into  all  that  land. 

27  ^And  when  Jesus  departed  thence,  two  blind  men  fol- 
lowed him,  crying,  and  saying,  "Thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have 
mercy  on  us. 

28  And  when  he  was  come  into  the  house,  the  blind  men 
came  to  him :  and  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Believe  ye  that  I 
am  able  to  do  this  ?     They  said  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord. 

29  Then  touched  he  their  eyes,  saying.  According  to  your 
&ith  be  it  unto  you. 


lying  on  a  bed:  and  Jesus  seeing  their  faith  said  unto 
the  sick  of  the  palsy,  'Son,  be  of  good  cheer ;  thy  sins 

3  are  forgiven.  And  behold,  certain  of  the  scribes 
said    within    themselves.    This    man    blasphemeth. 

4  And  Jesus  ^knowing  their  thoughts  said.  Wherefore 
5 think  ye    evil    in    your    hearts?     For  whether    is 

easier,  to  say.  Thy  sins   are   forgiven ;   or  to   say, 

6  Arise,  and  walk?  But  that  ye  may  know  that 
the  Son  of  man  hath  'power  on  earth  to  forgive 
sins  (then  saith  he  to  the  sick  of  the  palsy),  Arise, 

7  and  take  up  thy  bed,  and  go  unto  thy  house.     And 
She   arose,   and   departed  to  his  house.     But  when 

the  multitudes  saw  it,  they  were  afraid,  and  glori- 
fied God,  which  had  given  such  'power  unto  men. 
9  And  as  Jesus  passed  by  from  thence,  he  saw  a 
man,  called  Mat'thew,  sitting  at  the  place  of  toll : 
and  he  saith  unto  him,  Follow  me.  And  he  arose, 
and  followed  him. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  *sat  at  meat  in  the 
house,  behold,   many  publicans   and    sinners   came 

11  and  sat  down  with  Jesus  and  his  disciples.  And 
when  the  Phar'i-sees  saw  it,  they  said  unto  his  dis- 
ciples. Why  eateth  your  'Master  with  the   publicans 

12  and  sinners?  But  when  he  heard  it,  he  said,  They 
that  are  'whole  have  no  need  of  a  physician,  but  they 

13  that  are  sick.  But  go  ye  and  learn  what  this  mean- 
eth, I  desire  mercy,  and  not  sacrifice :  for  I  came  not 
to  call  the  righteous,  but  sinners. 

14  Then  come  to  him  the  disciples  of  John,  saying. 
Why  do  we  and  the  Phar'i-sees  fast  ^oft,  but  thy  dis- 

15ciples  fast  not?  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Can  the 
sons  of  the  bride-chamber  mourn,  as  long  as  the 
bridegroom  is  with  them?  but  the  days  will  come, 
when  the  bridegroom   shall    be    taken    away    from 

16  them,  and  then  will  they  fast.  And  no  man  put- 
teth a  piece  of  undressed  cloth  upon  an  old  gar- 
ment; for  that  which  should  fill  it  up  taketh  from 

17  the  garment,  and  a  worse  rent  is  made.  Neither  do 
men  put  new  wine  into  old  'wine-skins :  else  the 
skins  burst,  and  the  wine  is  spilled,  and  the  skins 
perish :  but  they  put  new  wine  into  fresh  wine-skins, 
and  both  are  preserved. 

18  While  he  spake  these  things  unto  them,  behold, 
there  came  'a  ruler,  and  worshipped  him,  saying. 
My  daughter  is  even  now  dead:  but  come  and  lay 

19  thy  hand  upon  her,  and  she  shall  live.  And  Jesus 
arose,  and  followed  him,  and  so  did  his    disciples. 

20  And  behold,  a  woman,  who  had  an  issue  of  blood 
twelve    years,    came    behind   him,  and  touched  the 

21  border  of  his  garment:  for  she  said  within  herself. 
If  I  do  but  touch  his  garment,  I  shall    be    '"made 

22  whole.  But  Jesus  turning  and  seeing  her  said. 
Daughter,  be  of  good  cheer;  thy  faith  hath  "made 
thee  whole.     And   the   woman   was   '"made    whole 

23  from  that  hour.  And  when  Jesus  came  into  the 
ruler's  house,  and  saw  the    flute-players,  and   the 

24 crowd  making  a  tumult,  he  said.  Give  place:  for 
the   damsel    is  not  dead,   but  sleepeth.     And    they 

25  laughed  him  to  scorn.  But  when  the  crowd  was 
put  forth,  he  entered  in,  and  took  her  by  the  hand ; 

26  and  the  damsel  arose.  And  '^the  fame  hereof  went 
forth  into  all  that  land. 

27  And  as  Jesus  passed  by  from  thence,  two  blind  men 
followed  him,  crying  out,  and  saying.  Have  mercy  on 

28  us,  thou  son  of  Da'vid.  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  house,  the  blind  men  came  to  him  :  and  Jesus  saith 
unto  them.  Believe  ye  that  I  am  able  to  do  this?     They 

29  say  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord.  Then  touched  he  their  eyes, 
saying,  According  to  your  faith  be  it  done  unto  you.  I

30  And  their  eyes  were  opened ;  and  Jesus  straitly  charged 
them,  saying,  'See  that  no  man  know  it. 

3 1  "But  they,  when  they  were  departed,  spread  abroad  his 
fame  in  all  that  country. 

32  ^*As  they  went  out,  behold,  they  brought  to  him  a 
dumb  roan  possessed  with  a  devil. 

33  And  when  the  devil  was  cast  out)  the  dumb  spake : 
and  the  multitudes  marvelled,  saying.  It  was  never  so  seen  in 
Is'ra-el. 

34  But  the  Phar'i-sees  said,  "He  casteth  out  devils,  through 
the  prince  of  the  devils. 

35  ''And  Jesus  went  about  all  the  cities  and  villages, 
'teaching  in  their  synagogues,  and  preaching  the  gospel  of 
the  kingdom,  and  healing  every  sickness  and  every  disease 
among  the  people. 

36  ^{''But  when  he  saw  the  multitudes,  he  was  moved 
with  compassion  on  them,  because  they  |1  fainted,  and  were 
scattered  abroad,  'as  sheep  having  no  shepherd. 

37  Then  saith  he  unto  his  disciples,  -^The  harvest  truly  is 
plenteous,  but  the  labourers  are  few; 

38  "Pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he  will 
send  forth  labourers  into  his  harvest. 

CHAPTER    X. 

Christ  sendeth  his  apostles  to  do  miracles. 

AND  "when  he  had  called  unto  Aim  his  twelve  disciples,  he 
gave  them  Y>ovier\\  against  unclean  spirits, to castthem  out, 
and  to  heal  all  manner  of  sickness  and  all  manner  of  disease. 

2  Now  the  names  of  the  twelve  apostles  are  these ;  The 
first,  Si'mon,  'who  is  called  Pe'ter,  and  An'drew  his  brother; 
James  the  son  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  John  his  brother; 

3  Phil'ip,  and  Bar-thol'o-mew ;  Thom'as,  and  Mat'thew  the 
publican  ;  James  the  son  of  Al-phe'us,  and  Leb-be'us,  whose 
surname  was  Thad-de'us; 

4  ''Si'mon  the  Ca'naan-ite,  and  Ju'das  ''Is'car-i-ot,  who  also 
betrayed  him. 

5  These  twelve  Jesus  sent  forth,  and  commanded  them, 
saying,  'Go  not  into  the  way  of  the  Gen'tiles,  and  into  any 
city  of  ''the  Sa-mar'i-tans  enter  ye  not : 

6  'But  go  rather  to  the  *lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

7  'And  as  ye  go,  preach,  saying,  *The  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  at  nand.

11  "And  into  whatsoever  city  or  town  ye  shall  enter,  in- 
quire who  in  it  is  worthy  ;  and  there  abide  till  ye  go  thence. 

12  And  when  ye  come  into  a  house,  salute  it. 

13  'And  if  the  house  be  worthy,  let  your  peace  come  upon 
it:  'but  if  it  be  not  worthy,  let  your  peace  return  to  you. 

14  'And  whosoever  shall  not  receive  you,  nor  hear  your 
words,  when  ye  depart  out  of  that  house  or  city,  'shake  oif

15  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  "It  shall  be  more  tolerable  for

17  But  beware  of  men,:  for  "they  will  deliver  you  up  to 
the  councils,  and ''they  will  scourge  you  in  their  synagogues ; 

18  And  'ye  shall  be  brought  before  governors  and  kings 
for  my  sake,  for  a  testimony  against  them  and  the  Gen'tiles. 

19  ''But  when  they  deliver  you  up,  take  no  thought  how

same  hour  what  ye  shall  speak. 

20  •'For  it  is  not  ye  that  speak,  but  the  Spirit  of  your 
Father  which  speaketh  in  you. 

21  "And  the  brother  shall  deliver  up  the  brother  to  death, 


30  And  their  eyes  were  opened.  And  Jesus  'strictly 
charged   them,  saying,  See  that  no    man  know    it. 

31  But  they  went  forth,  and  spread  abroad  his  fame  in 
all  that  land. 

32  And  as  they  went  forth,  behold,  there  was  brought 

33  to  him  a  dumb  man  possessed  with  a  Mevil.  And 
when  the  Mevil  was  cast  out,  the  dumb  man  spake : 
and  the  multitudes  marvelled,  saying.  It  was  never  so 

34  seen  in  Is'ra-el.  But  the  Phar'i-sees  said,  'By  the 
prince  of  the  ^devils  casteth  he  out  ^devils. 

35  And  Jesus  went  about  all  the  cities  and  the  vil- 
lages, teaching  in  their  synagogues,  and  preaching 
the  gospel  of  the  kingdom,  and  healing  all  manner 

36  of  disease  and  all  manner  of  sickness.  But  when 
he  saw  the  multitudes,  he  was  moved  with  compas- 
sion  for  them,  because   they   were    distressed    and 

37  scattered,  as  sheep  not  having  a  shepherd.  Then 
saith    he   unto  his   disciples,  The   harvest  truly   is 

38  plenteous,  but  the  labourers  are  few.  Pray  ye  there- 
^  ^  fore  the  Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he  send  forth 
^v  labourers  into  his   harvest.     And   he  called   unto 

him  his  twelve  disciples,  and  gave  them  author- 
ity over  unclean  spirits,  to  cast  them  out,  and 
to  heal  all  manner  of  disease  and  all  manner  of 
sickness. 

2  Now  the  names  of  the  twelve  apostles  are  these : 
The  first,  Si'mon,  who  is  called  Pe'ter,  and  An'drew 
his  brother ;  James  the  son  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  John  his 

3  brother ;  Phil'ip,  and  Bar-thol'o-mew ;  Thom'as,  and 
Mat'thew  the  publican ;  James  the  son  of  Al-phae'us, 

4  and  Thad-dse'us ;  Si'mon  the  '*Ca-nan-se'an,  and  Ju'das 

5  Is-car'i-ot,  who  also  ^betrayed  him.  These  twelve 
Jesus  sent  forth,  and  charged  them,  saying. 

Go  not  into  any  way  of  the  Gen'tiles,  and  enter 

6  not  into  any  city  of  the  Sa-mar'i-tans  :  but  go  rather 

7  to  the  lost  sheep  of  ■ihe  house  of  Is'ra-el.  And  as; 
ye  go,  preach,  saying,  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at' 

8  hand.  Heal  the  sick,  raise  the  dead,  cleanse  the 
lepers,  cast  out  ^devils :    freely  ye   received,  freely 

9  give.     Get    you    no  gold,    nor   silver,  nor  brass  in 

10  your 'purses;  no  wallet  for  yowr  journey,  neither  two 
coats,  nor  shoes,  nor  staff:  for  the  labourer  is  worthy 

11  of  his  food.  And  into  whatsoever  city  or  village  ye 
shall   enter,  search   out   who  in  it  is  worthy;  and 

12  there  abide   till    ye   go    forth.     And   as   ye    enter 

13  into  the  house,  salute  it.  And  if  the  house  be 
worthy,  let  your  peace  come  upon  it :  but  if  it  be 

14  not  worthy,  let  your  peace  return  to  you.  And 
whosoever  shall  not  receive  you,  nor  hear  your 
words,  as  ye  go  forth  out  of  that  house  or  that  city, 

15  shake  off  the  dust  of  your  feet.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you.  It  shall  be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of  Sod'om 
and  Go-mor'rah  in  the  day  of  judgement,  than  for 
that  city. 

16  Behold,  I  send  you  forth  as  sheep  in  the  midst 
of  wolves:    be   ye    therefore  wise   as  serpents,  and 

17 'harmless  as  doves.  But  beware  of  men:  for  they 
will  deliver  you  up  to  councils,  and  in  their  syna- 

ISgogues  they  will  scourge  you  ;  yea  and  before  gov- 
ernors and  kings  shall  ye  be  brought  for  my  sake, 

19  for  a  testimony  to  them  and  to  the  Gen'tiles.  But 
when  they  deliver  you  up,  be  not  anxious  how  or 
what  ye  shall  speak  :  for  it  shall  be  given  you  in  that 

20  hour  what  ye  shall  speak.  For  it  is  not  ye  that 
speak,  but  the  Spirit  of  your  Father  that  speaketh  in 

21  you.     And  brother  shall  deliver  up  brother  to  death,

CHAPTKR   XI. 

Christ's  testimony  of  John. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  made  an  end  of 
commanding  his  twelve  disciples,  he  departed  thence  to 
teach  and  to  preach  in  their  cities. 

2  "Now  when  John  had  heard  'in  the  prison  the  works  of 
Christ,  he  sent  two  of  his  disciples, 

3  And  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  "he  that  should  come,  or 
do  we  look  for  another? 

4  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Go  and  shew  John 
again  those  things  which  ye  do  hear  and  see : 

5  ''The  blind  receive  their  sight,  and  the  lame  walk,  the 
lepers  are  cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear,  the  dead  are  raised 
up,  and  'the  poor  have  the  gospel  preached  to  them. 

6  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever  shall  not  -^be  offended  in  me. 

7  ^"And  as  they    departed,    Jesus    began   to   say    unto 


and  the  &ther  his   child:  and   children  shall   rise 
up  against  parents,  and  'cause  them  to  be  put  to 

22  death.  And  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men  for 
my  name's  sake:  but  he  that  endureth  to  the  end, 

23  the  same  shall  be  saved.  But  when  they  persecute 
you  in  this  city,  flee  into  the  next:  for  verily  I  say 
unto  you,  Ye  shall  not  have  gone  through  the  cities 
of  Is'ra-el,  till  the  Son  of  man  be  come. 

24  A  disciple  is  not  above  his  ^master,  nor  a  'servant 

25  above  his  lord.  It  is  enough  for  the  disciple  that 
he  be  as  his  ^master,  and  the  'servant  as  his  lord. 
If  they  have  called  the  master  of  the  house  ^Be-el'ze- 
bub,  how  much  more   shall  they   call  them  of  his 

26 household!  Fear  them  not  therefore:  for  there  is 
nothing  covered,  that  shall   not  be   revealed;  and 

27  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known.  What  I  tell  you  in 
the  darkness,  speak  ye  in  the  light:  and  what  ye 

28  hear  in  the  ear,  proclaim  upon  the  housetops.  And 
be  not  afraid  of  them  which  kill  the  body,  but  are 
not  able  to  kill  the  soul :  but  rather  fear  him  which 

29  is  able  to  destroy  both  soul  and  body  in  'hell.  Are 
not  two  sparrows  sold  for  a  farthing  ?  and  not  one 
of  them    shall   fall    on   the   ground   without   your 

30  Father :  but   the  very   hairs  of  your  head   are  all 

31  numbered.      Fear   not  therefore ;    ye  are   of  more 

32  value  than  many  sparrows.  Every  one  therefore 
who  shall  confess  'me  before  men,  'him  will  I  also 

33  confess  before  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven.  But 
whosoever  shall  deny  me  before  men,  him  will  I 
also  deny  before  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

34  Think  not  that  I  came  to  'send  peace  on  the  earth : 
35 1  came   not  to  'send  peace,  but  a   sword.     For  J 

came  to  set  a  man  at  variance  against  his  father, 
and    the    daughter    against   her    mother,    and    the 

36  daughter  in  law  against  her  mother  in  law :  and  a 

37  man's  foes  shall  be  they  of  his  own  household.  He 
that  loveth  father  or  mother  more  than  me  is  not 
worthy  of  me ;  and  he  that  loveth  son  or  daughter 

38  more  than  me  is  not  worthy  of  me.  And  he  that 
doth  not  take  his  cross  and  follow  after  me,  is  not 

39  worthy  of  me.  He  that  'findeth  his  '"life  shall  lose 
it;  and  he  that  "loseth  his  '"life  for  my  sake  shall 
find  it. 

40  He  that  receiveth  you  receiveth  me,  and  he  that 

41  receiveth  me  receiveth  him  that  sent  me.  He  that 
receiveth  a  prophet  in  the  name  of  a  prophet  shall 
receive  a  prophet's  reward;  and  he  that  receiveth  a 
righteous  man  in  the  name  of  a  righteous  man  shall 

42  receive  a  righteous  man's  reward.  And  whosoever 
shall  give  to  drink  unto  one  of  these  little  ones  a 
cup  of  cold  water  only,  in  the  name  of  a  disciple, 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  he  shall  in  no  wise  lose  his 
reward. 

4-4-  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  made  an 
end  of  commanding  his  twelve  disciples,  he  de- 
parted thence  to  teach  and  preach  in  their  cities. 

2  Now  when  John  heard  in  the  prison  the  works  of 

3  the  Christ,  he  sent  by  his  disciples,  and  said  unto 
him,   Art    thou    he  that    cometh,  or  look   we    for 

4 another?  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them. 
Go  your  way  and  tell  John  the  things  which  ye  do 

5  hear  and  see :  the  blind  receive  their  sight,  and  the 
lame  walk,  the  lepers  are  cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear, 
and  the  dead  are  raised  up,  and  the  poor  have  ''good 

6  tidings  preached  to  them.  And  blessed  is  he,  whoso- 
ever shall  find  none  occasion  of  stumbling  in  me. 

7  And  as  these  went  their  way,  Jesus  began  to  say  unto

the  multitudes  concerning  John,  Wisat  went  ye  out  into 
the  wilderness  to  see?    "A  reed  shaken  with  the  wind? 

8  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see]?  A  man  clothed  in  soft  rai- 
ment? behold,  they  that  wear  soft  clothing  are  in  king's  houses. 

9  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see?  A  prophet?  yea,  I 
say  unto  you,  'and  more  than  a  prophet. 

10  For  this  is  he,  of  whom  it  is  written,  *Behold  I  send 
my  messenger  before  thy  face,  which  shall  prepare  thy  way 
before  thee. 

11  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Among  them  that  are  born  of 
woman  there  hath  not  risen  a  greater  than  John  theBapti.st: 
notwithstanding,  he  that  is  least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  greater  than  he. 

12  'And  from  the  days  of  John  the  Baptist  until  now  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  ||suffereth  violence,  and  the  violent  take 
it  by  force. 

13  "For  all  the  prophets  and  the  law  prophesied  until  John. 

14  And  if  ye  will  receive  i<,thisis"E-iras,  which  was  for  tocome. 

15  "He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

16  ^''But  whereunto  shall  I  liken  this  generation?  It  is 
like  unto  children  sitting  in  the  markets,  and  calling  unto 
their  fellows, 

17  And  saying,  We  have  piped  unto  you,  and  ye  have  not 
danced ;  we  have  mourned  unto  you,  and  ye  have  not  lamented. 

18  For  John  came  neither  eating  nor  drinking,  and  they 
say.  He  hath  a  devil. 

19  The  Son  of  man  came  eating  and  drinking,  and  they  say. 
Behold  a  man  gluttonous,  and  a  winebibber,  'a  friend  of  pub- 
licans and  sinners.  ""But  wisdom  is  justified  of  her  children. 

20  ^'Then  began  he  to  upbraid  the  cities  wherein  most  of 
his  mighty  works  were  done,  because  they  repented  not. 

21  Woe  unto  thee,  Cho-ra'zin  !  woe  unto  thee  Beth-sa'i-da ! 
for  if  the  mighty  works,  which  were  done  in  you,  had  been 
done  in  Tyre  and  Si'don,  they  would  have  repented  long 
ago  'in  sackcloth  and  ashes. 

22  But  I  say  unto  you,  "It  shall  be  more  tolerable  for 
Tyre  and  Si'don  at  the  day  of  judgment,  than  for  you. 

23  And  thou,  Ca-per'na-um,  °^which  art  exalted  unto 
heaven,  shalt  be  brought  down  to  hell:  for  if  the  mighty 
works,  which  have  been  done  in  thee,  had  been  done  in 
Sod'om,  it  would  have  remained  until  this  day. 

24  But  I  say  unto  you,  "That  it  shall  be  more  tolerable  for 
the  land  of  Sod'om  in  the  day  of  judgment,  than  for  thee. 

25  ^"At  that  time  Jesus  answered  and  said,  I  thauk  thee, 
O  Father,  Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  because  "thou  hast 
hid  these  things  from  the  wise  and  prudent,  'and  ha.st  re- 
vealed them  unto  babes. 

26  Even  so,  Father ;  for  so  it  seemed  good  in  thy  sight. 

27  "All  things  are  delivered  unto  me  of  my  Father :  and 
no  man  knoweth  the  Son,  but  the  Father;  ''neither  knoweth 
any  man  the  Father,  save  the  Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever 
the  Son  will  reveal  Aim. 

28  ^Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that  labour  and  are  heavy 
laden,  and  I  will  give  you  rest. 

29  Take  my  yoke  upon  you,  'and  learn  of  me ;  for  I  am 
meek  and  -^lowly  in  heart:  "and  ye  shall  find  rest  unto 
your  souls. 

30  *For  my  yoke  is  easy,  and  my  burden  is  light. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

Tfie  nature  0/  the  sabbath. 

AT  that  time  "Jesus  went  on  the  sabbath  day  through  the 
corn ;  and  his  disciples  were  a  hungered,  and  began  to 
pluck  the  ears  of  corn,  and  to  eat. 

2  But  when  the  Phar'i-sees  saw  it,  they  said  unto  him,  Be- 
hold, thy  disciples  do  that  which  is.not  lawful  to  do  upon 
the  sabbath  day. 

3  But  he  said  unto  them.  Have  ye  not  read  'what  Da'vid 
did  when  he  was  a  hungered,  and  they  that  were  with  him; 

4  How  he  entered  into  the  house  of  God,  and  did  eat  'the 


the  maititudes  concerning  John,  What  went  ye  out 
into  the   wilderness  to  behold  ?  a  reed  shaken  with 

8  the  wind  ?     But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see  ?  a  man 
clothed  in  soft  raiment?     Behold,  they  that  wear 

9  soft  raiment  are  in  king's  houses.     'But  wherefore 
went  ye  out?  to  see  a  prophet?     Yea,  I  say  unto 

10 you,  and  much  more  than  a  prophet.     This   is  he, 
of  whom  is  written, 
Behold,  I  send  my  messenger  before  thy  face, 
Who  shall  prepare  thy  way  before  thee. 

11  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Among  them  that  are  born 
of  women  there  hath  not  arisen  a  greater  than  John 
the  Baptist :  yet  he  that  is  ^but  little  in  the  kingdom 

12  of  heaven  is  greater  than  he.  And  from  the  days 
of  John  the  Baptist  until  now  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
suffereth   violence,  and  men  of  violence  take  it  by 

13  force.     For  all  the  prophets  and  the  law  prophesied 

14  until  John.     And  if  ye  are  willing  to  receive 'i<,  this 

15  is  E-li'jah  which  is  to  come.     He  that  hath  ears  Ho 

16  hear,  let  him  hear.  But  whereunto  shall  I  liken 
this  generation?  It  is  like  unto  children  sitting  in 
marketplaces,   which   call   unto   their   fellows,   and 

17  say.  We  piped  unto  you,  and  ye  did  not  dance;  we 

18  wailed,  and  ye  did  not  'mourn.  For  John  came 
neither  eating  nor  drinking,  and  they  say.  He  hath 

19  a  Mevil.  The  Son  of  man  came  eating  and  drinking, 
and  they  say.  Behold  a  gluttonous  man,  and  a  wine- 
bibber, a  friend  of  publicans  and  sinners!  And 
wisdom  ^is  justified  by  her  'works. 

20  Then  began  he  to  upbraid  the  cities  wherein  most 
of  his  'mighty   works    were    done,    because    they 

21  repented  not.  Woe  unto  thee,  Cho-ra'zin !  woe 
unto  thee,  Beth-sa'i-da !  for  if  the  'mighty  works  had 
been  done  in  Tyre  and  Si'don  which  were  done  in 
you,  they  would  have  repented  long  ago  in  sackcloth 

22  and  a.shes.  Howbeit  I  say  unto  you,  it  shall  be  more 
tolerable  for  Tyre  and  Si'don  in  the  day  of  judge 

23  ment,  than  for  you.  And  thou,  Ca-per'na-um,  shalt 
thou  be  exalted  unto  heaven  ?  thou  shalt  '"go  down 
unto  Ha'des :  for  if  the  'mighty  works  had  been  done 
in  Sod'om  which  were  done  in  thee,  it  would  have 

24  remained  until  this  day.  Howbeit  I  say  unto  you, 
that  it  shall  be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of  Sod'om 
in  the  day  of  judgement,  than  for  thee. 

25  At  that  season  Jesus  answered  and  said,  I  "thank 
thee,  O  Father,  Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  that  thou 
didst  hide  these  things  from  the  wise  and  under- 

26  standing,  and  didst  reveal  them  unto  babes :  yea, 
Father,  '^for  so  it  was  well-pleasing  in   thy   sight. 

27  All  things  have  been  delivered  unto  me  of  my  Father: 
and  no  one  knoweth  the  Son,  save  the  Father;  neither 
doth  any  know  the  Father,  save  the  Son,  and  he  to 

28  whomsoever  the  Son  willeth  to  reveal  him.  Come 
unto  me,  all  ye  that  labour  and  are  heavy  laden,  and 

29 1  will  give  you  rest.  Take  my  yoke  upon  you,  and 
learn  of  me ;  for  I  am  meek  and  lowly  in  heart :  and 

30  ye  shall  find  rest  unto  your  souls.  For  my  yoke  is 
easy,  and  my  burden  is  light. 

*^  At  that  season  Jesus  went  on  the  sabbath  day 
through  the  corn  fields;  and  his  disciples  were  an 
hungred,  and  began  to  pluck  ears  of  corn,  and   to 

2  eat.  But  the  Phar'i-sees,  when  they  saw  it  said  unto 
him,  Behold  thy  disciples  do  that  which  it  is  not 

3  lawful  to  do  upon  the  sabbath.  But  he  said  unto 
them,  Have  ye  not  read  what  Da'vid  did,  when  he 

4 was  an  hungred,  and  they  that  were  with  him;  how 
he  entered  into  the  house  of  God,  and  "did  eat  the

shewbread,  which  was  not  lawfiil  for  him  to  eat,  neither  for 
them  which  were  with  him,  *but  only  for  the  priests  ? 

5  Or  have  ye  not  read  in  the  "law  how  that  on  the  sab- 
bath days  the  priests  in  the  temple  profane  the  sabbath,  and 
are  blameless  ? 

6  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  in  this  place  is  ^one  greater 
than  the  temple. 

7  But  if  ye  had  known  what  this  meaneth,  'I  will  have  mercy, 
and  not  sacrifice,  ye  would  not  have  condemned  the  guiltless. 

8  For  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  even  of  the  sabbath  day. 

9  'And  when  he  was  departed  thence,  he  went  into  their 
synagogue : 

10  ^And,  behold,  there  was  a  man  which  had  his  hand 
withered.  And  they  asked  him,  saying,  'Is  it  lawful  to  heal 
on  the  sabbath  days  ?  that  they  might  accuse  him. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them,  What  man  shall  there  be  among 
you,  that  shall  have  one  sheep,  and  *if  it  fall  into  a  pit  on 
the  sabbath  day,  will  he  not  lay  hold  on  it,  and  lift  it  out? 

12  How  much  then  is  a  man  better  than  a  sheep?  Where- 
fore it  is  lawful  to  do  well  on  the  sabbath  days. 

13  Then  saith  he  to  the  man.  Stretch  forth  thine  hand.  And 
he  stretched  it  forth;  and  it  was  restored  whole, like  as  the  other. 

14  ^Then  'the  Phar'i-sees  went  out,  and  ||  held  a  council 
against  him,  how  they  might  destroy  him. 

15  But  when  Jesus  knew  z<,'"he  withdrew  himself  from  thence: 
"and  great  multitudes  followed  him,  and  he  healed  them  all ; 

16  And'eharged  them  that  they  should  not  make  him  known: 

17  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  E-sa'ias 
the  prophet,  saying, 

18  "Behold  my  servant,  whom  I  have  chosen ;  my  beloved, 
'in  whom  my  soul  is  well  pleased:  I  will  put  my  Spirit  upon 
him,  and  he  shall  shew  judgment  to  the  Gentiles. 

19  He  shall  not  strive,  nor  cry;  neither  shall  any  man 
hear  his  voice  in  the  streets. 

20  A  bruised  reed  shall  he  not  break,  and  smoking  flax 
shall  he  not  quench,  till  he  send  forth  judgment  unto  victory. 

21  And  in  his  name  shall  the  Gentiles  trust. 

22  ^''Then  was  brought  unto  him  one  possessed  with  a 
devil,  blind,  and  dumb :  and  he  healed  him,  insomuch  that 
the  blind  and  dumb  both  spake  and  saw. 

23  And  all  the  people  were  amazed,  and  said.  Is  not  this 
the  Son  of  Da'vid? 

24  'But  when  the  Phar'i-sees  heard  it,  they  said,  This  fellow 
doth  not  cast  out  devils,  but  by  fBe-el'ze-bub  the  prince  of 
the  devils. 

25  And  Jesus  'knew  their  thoughts,  and  said  unto  them. 
Every  kingdom  divided  against  itself  is  brought  to  desolation; 
and  every  city  or  house  divided  against  itself  shall  not  stand : 

26  And  if  Sa'tan  cast  out  Sa'tan,  he  is  divided  against  him- 
self; how  then  shall  his  kingdom  stand? 

27  And  if  I  by  Be-el'ze-bub  cast  out  devils,  by  whom  do  your 
children  cast  them  out?  therefore  they  shall  be  your  judges. 

28  But  if  I  cast  out  devils  by  the  Spirit  of  God,  then  "the 
kingdom  of  God  is  come  unto  you. 

29  ^Or  else,  how  can  one  enter  into  a  strong  man's  house, 
and  spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first  bind  the  strong  man  ? 
and  then  he  will  spoil  his  house. 

30  He  that  is  not  with  me  is  against  me;  and  he  that 
gathereth  not  with  me  scattereth  abroad. 

31  ^Wherefore  I  say  unto  you,  "AH  manner  of  sin  and 
blasphemy  shall  be  forgiven  untc  men :  'but  the  blasphemy 
against  the  Holy  Ghost  shall  not  be  forgiven  unto  men. 

32  And  whosoever  "speaketh  a  word  against  the  Son  of 
man,  Mt  shall  be  forgiven  him :  but  whosoever  speaketh 
against  the  Holy  Ghost,  it  shall  not  be  forgiven  him,  neither 
in  this  world,  neither  in  the  loorld  to  come. 

33  Either  make  the  tree  good,  and  'his  fruit  good ;  or  else 
make  the  tree  corrupt,  and  his  fruit  corrupt:  for  the  tree  is 
known  by  his  fruit. 


shewbread,  which  it  was  not  lawful  for  him  to  eat, 

neither  for  them  that  were  with  him,  but  only  for 
5  the  priests  ?     Or  have  ye  not  read  in  the  law,  how 

that  on  the  sabbath  day  the  priests  in  the  temple 
6 profane  the  sabbath,  and  are  guiltless?     But  I  say 

unto  you,  that  'one  greater  than  the  temple  is  here. 

7  But  if  ye  had  known  what  this  meaneth,  I  desire 
mercy,  and   not  sacrifice,  ye  would  not  have  con 

8  demned  the  guiltless.     For  the  Son  of  man  is  lord 
of  the  sabbath. 

9  And  he  departed  thence,  and  went  into  their  syna- 
lOgogue  :  and  behold,  a  man  having  a  withered  hand. 

And  they  asked  him,  saying.  Is  it  lawful  to  heal  on 

11  the  sabbath  day?  that  they  might  accuse  him.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  What  man  shall  there  be  of  you, 
that  shall  have  one  sheep,  and  if  this  fall  into  a  pit 
on  the  sabbath  day,  will  he  not  lay  hold  on  it,  and 

12  lift  it  out?  How  much  then  is  a  man  of  more  value 
than  a  sheep !     Wherefore  it  is  lawful  to  do  good  on 

13  the  sabbath  day.  Then  saith  he  to  the  man.  Stretch 
forth  thy  hand.     And  he  stretched  it  forth;  and  it 

14  was  restored  whole,  as  the  other.  But  the  Phar'i-sees 
went  out,  and  took  counsel  against  him,  how  they 

15  might  destroy  him.  And  Jesus  perceiving  it  with- 
drew from  thence :  and  many  followed  him ;  and  he 

16  healed  them  all,  and  charged,  them  that  they  should 
17 not  make  him  known:    that   it  might  be   fulfilled 

which  was  spoken  ^by  I-sa'iah  the  prophet,  saying, 
18    Behold,  my  servant  whom  I  have  chosen; 
My  beloved  in  whom  my  soul  is  well  pleased: 
I  will  put  my  Spirit  upon  him. 
And  he  shall  declare  judgement  to  the  Gentiles. 
He  shall  not  strive,  nor  cry  aloud; 
Neither  shall  any  one  hear  his  voice  in  the  streets. 
A  bruised  reed  shall  he  not  break. 
And  smoking  flax  shall  he  not  quench. 
Till  he  send  forth  judgement  unto  victory. 

21  And  in  his  name  shall  the  Gentiles  hope. 

22  Then  was  brought  unto  him  ^one  possessed  with  a 
devil,  blind  and  dumb  :  and  he  healed  him,  insomuch 

23  that  the  dumb  man  spake  and  saw.  And  all  the 
multitudes  were  amazed,  and  said,  Is  this  the  son  of 

24  Da'vid  ?  But  when  the  Phar'i-sees  heard  it,  they  said, 
This  man  doth  not  cast  out  ^devils,  but  'by  Be-el'ze 

25  bub  the  prince  of  the  Mevils.  And  knowing  their 
thoughts  he  said  unto  them,  Every  kingdom  divided 
against  itself  is  brought  to  desolation  ;  and  every  city 

26  or  house  divided  against  itself  shall  not  stand :  and 
if  Sa'tan  castetb  out  Sa'tan,  he  is  divided  against  him- 

27  self;  how  then  shall  his  kingdom  stand?  And  if  I 
'by  Be-el'ze-bub  cast  out  ^devils,  'by  whom  do  your 
sons  cast  them  out?   therefore  shall  they   be  your 

28judges.  But  if  I  'by  the  Spirit  of  God  cast  out 
*devils,  then  is  the  kingdom  of  God  come  upon  you. 

29  Or  how  can  one  enter  into  the  house  of  the  strong 
man,  and  spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first  bind  the 
strong   man?   and    then    he    will  spoil  his  house. 

30 He  that  is  not  with  me  is  againsst  me;  and  he  that 

31  gathereth  not  with  me  scattereth.  Therefore  I  say 
unto  you.  Every  sin  and  blasphemy  shall  be  forgiven 
*unto  men;  but  the  blasphemy  against  the  Spirit  shall 

32  not  be  forgiven.  And  whosoever  shall  speak  a  word 
against  the  Son  of  man,  it  shall  be  forgiven  him ;  but 
whosoever  shall  speak  against  the  Holy  Spirit,  it 
shall  not  be  forgiven  him,  neither  in  this  Vorld,  nor 

33  in  that  which  is  to  come.  Either  make  the  tree  good, 
and  its  fruit  good ;  or  make  the  tree  corrupt,  and 
its  fruit  corrupt :  for  the  tree  is  known  by  its  fruit.

34  O  ''generation  of  vipers,  how  can  ye,  being  evil,  speak 
good  things?  'for  out  of  the  abundance  of  the  heart  the 
mouth  speaketh. 

35  A  good  man  out  of  the  good  treasure  of  the  heart 
bringeth  forth  good  things:  and  an  evil  man  out  of  the  evil 
treasure  bringeth  forth  evil  things. 

36  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  every  idle  word  that  men  shall 
speak,  they  shall  give  account  thereof  in  the  day  of  judgment. 

37  For  by  thy  words  thou  shalt  be  justified,  and  by  thy 
words  thou  shalt  be  condemned. 

38  ^•'^Then  certain  of  the  scribes  and  of  the  Phar'i-sees 
answered,  saying.  Master,  we  would  see  a  sign  from  thee. 

39  But  he  answered  and  said  unto  them.  An  evil  and 
'adulterous  generation  seeketh  after  a  sign  ;  and  there  shall 
no  sign  be  given  to  it,  but  the  sign  of  the  prophet  Jo'nas. 

40  Tor  as  Jo'nas  was  three  days  and  three  nights  in  the 
whale's  belly ;  so  shall  the  Son  of  man  be  three  days  and 
three  nights  in  the  heart  of  the  earth. 

41  *The  men  of  Nin'e-veh  shall  rise  in  judgment  with  this 
generation,  and  'shall  condemn  it:  Tiecause  they  repented 
at  the  preaching  of  Jo'nas;  and,  behold,  a  greater  than 
Jo'nas  is  here. 

42  "The  queen  of  the  south  shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment 
with  this  generation,  and  shall  condemn  it :  for  she  came 
from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  to  hear  the  wisdom  of 
Sol'o-mon ;  and,  behold,  a  greater  than  Sol'o-mon  is  here. 

43  "When  the  unclean  spirit  is  gone  out  of  a  man,  "he 
walketh  through  dry  places,  seeking  rest,  and  findeth  none. 

44  Then  he  saith,  I  will  return  into  my  house  from  whence 
i  came  out;  and  when  he  is  come,  he  findeth  it  empty, 
swept,  and  garnished. 

45  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh  with  himself  seven  other 
spirits  more  wicked  than  himself,  and  they  enter  in  and 
dwell  there  :  ^aud  the  last  state  of  that  man  is  worse  than  the 
first.     Even  so  shall  it  be  also  unto  this  wicked  generation. 

46  ^  While  he  yet  talked  to  the  people, 'behold,  Ais  mother 
and  ''his  brethren  stood  without,  desiring  to  speak  with  him. 

47  Then  one  said  unto  him,  Behold,  thy  mother  and  thy 
brethren  stand  without,  desiring  to  speak  with  thee. 

48  But  he  answered  and  said  unto  him  that  told  him, 
Who  is  my  mother?  and  who  are  my  brethren? 

49  And  he  stretched  forth  his  hand  toward  his  disciples, 
and  said,  Behold  my  mother  and  my  brethren ! 

50  For  'whosoever  shall  do  the  will  of  my  Father  which 
is  in  heaven,  the  same  is  my  brother,  and  sister,  and  mother. 

CHAPTER   XIII. 

Of  the  sower  and  the  seed. 

rpHE  same  day  went  Jesus  out  of  the  house,  "and  sat  by 
A    the  sea  side. 

2  'And  great  multitudes  were  gathered  together  unto 
him,  so  that  °he  went  into  a  ship,  and  sat;  and  the  whole 
multitude  stood  on  the  shore. 

3  And  he  spake  many  things  unto  them  in  parables,  say- 
ing, ''Behold,  a  sower  went  forth  to  sow ; 

4  And  when  he  sowed,  some  setds  fell  by  the  way  side,  and 
the  fowls  came  aud  devoured  them  up : 

5  Some  fell  upon  stony  places,  where  they  had  not  much 
aarth :  and  forthwith  they  sprung  up,  because  they  had  no 
deepness  of  earth : 

6  And  when  the  sun  was  up,  they  were  scorched;  and 
because  they  had  no  root,  they  withered  away. 

7  And  some  fell  among  thorns ;  and  the  thorns  sprung  up, 
aud  choked  them: 

8  But  other  fell  into  good  ground,  and  brought  forth  fruit, 
some  'a  hundredfold,  some  sixtyfold,  some  thirtyfold. 

9  -''Who  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

10  And  the  disciples  came,  and  said  unto  him,  Why 
speakest  thou  unto  them  in  parables? 

11  He  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Because  "it  is  given 


34  Ye  offspring  of  vipers,  how  can  ye,  being  evil, 
speak   good   things?    for  out  of  the  abundance  of 

35  the  heart  the  mouth  speaketh.  The  good  man  out 
of  his  good  treasure  bringeth  forth  good  things : 
and  the  evil  man  out  of  his  evil  treasure  bringeth 

36  forth  evil  things.  And  I  say  unto  you,  that  every 
idle   word    that   men   shall    speak,  they   shall  give 

37  account  thereof  in  the  day  of  judgement.  For  by 
thy  words  thou  shalt  be  justified,  and  by  thy  words 
thou  shalt  be  condemned. 

38  Then  certain  of  the  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees  answered 
him,  saying,  'Master,  we  would  see  a  sign  from  thee. 

39  But  he  answered  and  said  unto  them.  An  evil  and 
adulterous  generation  seeketh  after  a  sign ;  and  there 
shall  no  sign  be  given  to  it  but  the  sign  of  Jo'nah  the 

40 prophet:  for  as  Jo'nah  was  three  days  and  three 
nights  in  the  belly  of  the%hale;  so  shall  the  Son  of 
man  be  three  days  and  three  nights  in  the  heart  of 

41  the  earth.  The  men  of  Nin'e-veh  shall  stand  up  in 
the  judgement  with  this  generation,  and  shall  con- 
demn it:  for  they  repented  at  the  preaching  of 
Jo'nah ;  and  behold,  'a  greater  than  Jo'nah  is  here. 

42  The  queen  of  the  south  shall  rise  up  in  the  judge- 
ment with  this  generation,  and  shall  condemn  it :  for 
she  came  from  the  ends  of  the  earth  to  hear  the 
wisdom  of  Sol'o-mon;  and  behold,  'a  greater  than 

43  Sol'o-mon  is  here.  But  the  unclean  spirit,  when  *he 
is  gone  out  of  the   man,  passeth  through  waterless 

44  places,  seeking  rest,  and  findeth  it  not.  Then  *he 
saith,  I  will  return  into  my  house  whence  I  came 
out;   and  when  ^6  is  come,  *he  findeth   it  empty, 

45  swept,  and  garnished.  Then  goeth  %e,  and  taketh 
with  'himself  seven  other  spirits  more  evil  than 
'himself,  and  they  enter  in  and  dwell  there  :  and  the 
last  state  of  that  man  becometh  worse  than  the  first. 
Even  so  shall  it  be  also  unto  this  evil  generation. 

46  While  he  was  yet  speaking  to  the  multitudes,  be- 
hold, his  mother   and  his  brethren   stood  without, 

47  seeking  to  speak  to  him.  'And  one  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  thy  mother  and  thy  brethren  stand  without, 

48  seeking  to  speak  to  thee.  But  he  answered  and  said 
unto  him  that  told  him.  Who  is  my  mother?  and  who 

49 are  my  brethren?  Aud  he  stretched  forth  his  hand 
towards  his  disciples,  and  .said.  Behold,  my  mother 

50 and  my  brethren!  For  whosoever  shall  do  the  will 
of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven,  he  is  my  brother, 
and  sister,  and  mother. 

-Lo     On  that  day  went  Jesus  out  of  the  house,  and  sat 

2  by  the  sea  side.  And  there  were  gathered  unto  him 
great  multitudes,  so  that  he  entered  into  a  boat,  and 

3  sat,  and  all  the  multitude  stood  on  the  beach.  And 
he  spake  to  them  many  things  in  parables,  saying, 

4 Behold,  the  sower  went  forth  to  sow;  and  as  he 
sowed,  some  seeds  fell  by  the  way  side,  and  the  birds 

5 came  and  devoured  them:  and  others  fell  upon  the 
rocky  places,  where  they  had  not  much  earth:  and 
straightway   they    sprang  up,  because   they  had  no 

6  deepness  of  earth  :  and  when  the  sun  was  risen,  they 
were  scorched;  and  because  they  had  no  root,  they 

7  withered  away.     And   others  fell  upon  the  thorns ; 
8 and  the  thorns  grew  up,    and   choked   them:    and 

others  fell  upon  the  good  ground,  and  yielded  fruit, 
9  some  a  hundredfold,  some  sixty,  some  thirty.     He 
that  hath  ears^,  let  him  hear. 

10  And  the  disciples  came,  and  said  unto  him.  Why 

11  speakest  thou  unto  them  in  parables?  And  he 
answered  and  said  unto  them.  Unto  you  it  is  given

unto  you  to  know  tne  mysteries  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven, 
but  to  them  it  is  not  given. 

12  *For  whosoever  hath,  to  him  shall  be  given,  and  he 
shall  have  more  abundance :  but  whosoever  hath  not,  from 
him  shall  be  taken  away  even  that  he  hath. 

13  Therefore  speak  I  to  them  in  parables:  because  they 
seeing,  see  not ;  and  hearing,  they  hear  not ;  neither  do  they 
understand. 

14  And  in  them  is  fulfilled  the  prophecy  of  E-sa'ias,  which 
saith,  *By  hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and  shall  not  understand ; 
and  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  shall  not  perceive : 

15  For  this  people's  heart  is  waxed  gross,  and  their  ears 
*are  dull  of  hearing,  and  their  eyes  they  have  closed ;  lest 
at  any  time  they  should  see  with  their  eyes,  and  hear  with 
their  ears,  and  should  understand  with  their  heart,  and  should 
be  converted,  and  I  should  heal  them. 

16  But  Halessed  are  your  eyes,  for  they  see:  and  your 
ears,  for  they  hear. 

17  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  "That  many  prophets  and 
righteous  men  have  desired  to  see  those  things  which  ye  see, 
and  have  not  seen  them;  and  to  hear  those  things  which  ye 
hear,  and  have  not  heard  them. 

18  ^"Hear  ye  therefore  the  parable  of  the  sower. 

19  "When  any  one  heareth  the  word  °of  the  kingdom,  and 
understandeth  it  not,  then  cometh  the  wicked  one,  and 
catcheth  away  that  which  was  sown  in  his  heart.  This  is 
he  which  received  seed  by  the  way  side. 

20  But  he  that  received  the  seed  into  stony  places^  the 
same  is  he  that  heareth  the  word,  and  anon  "with  joy  re- 
ceiveth  it; 

21  Yet  hath  he  not  root  in  himself,  but  dureth  for  a  while  : 
for  when  tribulation  or  persecution  ariseth  because  of  the 
word,  by  and  by  «he  is  offended. 

22  'He  also  that  received  seed  'among  the  thorns  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word ;  and  the  care  of  this  world,  and  the 
deceitfulness  of  riches  choke  the  word,  and  he  becometh 
unfruitful. 

23  But  he  that  'received  seed  into  the  good  ground  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word,  and  understandeth  it;  which  also 
beareth  fruit,  and  bringeth  forth,  some  a  hundredfold, 
some  sixty,  some  thirty. 

24  ^Another  parable  put  he  forth  unto  them,  saying.  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  likened  unto  a  man  which  sowed 
good  seed  in  his  field : 

25  But  while  men  slept,  his  enemy  came  and  sowed  tares 
among  the  wheat,  and  went  his  way. 

26  But  when  the  blade  was  sprung  up,  and  brought  forth 
fruit,  then  appeared  the  tares  also. 

27  So  the  servants  of  the  householder  came  and  said  unto 
him,  Sir,  didst  not  thou  sow  good  seed  in  thy  field?  from 
whence  then  hath  it  tares? 

28  He  said  unto  them,  An  enemy  hath  done  this.  The 
servants  said  unto  him.  Wilt  thou  then  that  we  go  and 
gather  them  up? 

29  But  he  said,  Nay ;  lest  while  ye  gather  up  the  tares,  ye 
root  up  also  the  wheat  with  them. 

30  Let  both  grow  together  until  the  harvest :  and  in  the 
time  of  harvest  I  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather  ye  together 
first  the  tares,  and  bind  them  in  bundles  to  burn  them  :  but 
'gather  the  wheat  into  my  barn. 

31  ^Another  parable  put  he  forth  unto  them,  saying, 
"The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  to  a  grain  of  mustard  seed, 
which  a  man  took,  and  sowed  in  his  field : 

32  Which  indeed  is  the  least  of  all  seeds:  but  when  it  is 
grown,  it  is  the  greatest  among  herbs,  and  becometh  a  tree, 
so  that  the  birds  of  the  air  come  and  lodge  in  the  branches 
thereof. 

33  ^'Another  parable  spake  he  unto  them;  The  king- 
dom of  heaven  is  like  unto  leaven,  which  a  woman  took. 


to  know  the  mysteries  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven, 

12  but  to  them  it  is  not  given.  For  whosoever  hath, 
to  him  shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have  abundance : 
but  whosoever  hath  not,  from  him  shall  be  taken 

13  away  even  that  which  he  hath.  Therefore  speak  I 
to  them  in  parables;  because  seeing  they  see  not, 
and  hearing  they  hear  not,  neither  do  they  under- 

14  stand.  And  unto  them  is  fulfilled  the  prophecy  of 
I-sa'iah,  which  saith. 

By  hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and  shall  in  no  wise 
understand : 

And  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  shall  in  no  wise  per- 
ceive : 

15  For  this  people's  heart  is  waxed  gross, 
And  their  ears  are  dull  of  hearing. 
And  their  eyes  they  have  closed ; 

Lest  haply  they  should  perceive  with  their  eyes, 

And  hear  with  their  ears. 

And  understand  with  their  heart, 

And  should  turn  again. 

And  I  should  heal  them. 

16  But  blessed  are  your  eyes,  for  they  see  :  and  your 

17  ears,  for  they  hear.  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that 
many  prophets  and  righteous  men  desired  to  see  the 
things  which  ye  see,  and  saw  them  not ;  and  to  hear 

18  the  things  which  ye  hear,  and  heard  them  not.  Hear 

19  then  ye  the  parable  of  the  sower.  When  any  one 
heareth  the  word  of  the  kingdom,  and  understandeth 
it  not,  then  cometh  the  evil  one,  and  snatcheth  away 
that  which  hath  been  sown  in  his  heart.     This  is  he 

20  that  was  sown  by  the  way  side.  And  he  that  was 
sown  upon  the  rocky  places,  this  is  he  that  heareth 

21  the  word,  and  straightway  with  joy  receiveth  it;  yet 
hath  he  not  root  in  himself,  but  endureth  for  a  while; 
and  when  tribulation  or  persecution  ariseth  because 

22  of  the  word,  straightway  he  stumbleth.  And  he  that 
was  sown  among  the  thorns,  this  is  he  that  heareth 
the  word ;  and  the  care  of  the  'world,  and  the  deceit- 
fulness  of  riches,  choke  the  word,  and  he  becometh 

23  unfruitful.  And  he  that  was  sown  upon  the  good 
ground,  this  is  he  that  heareth  the  word,  and  under- 
standeth it ;  who  verily  beareth  fruit,  and  bringeth 
forth,  some  a  hundredfold,  some  sixty,  some  thirty. 

24  Another  parable  set'  he  before  them,  .saying,  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  likened  unto  a  man  that  sowed 

25  good  seed  in  his  field :  but  while  men  slept,  his  enemy 
came  and  sowed  Hares  also  among  the  wheat,  and 

26  went  away.  But  when  the  blade  sprang  up,  and 
brought  forth   fruit,  then   appeared   the  tares  also. 

27  And  the  'servants  of  the  householder  came  and  said 
unto  him.  Sir,  didst  thou  not  sow  good  seed  in  thy 

28  field  ?  whence  then  hath  it  tares?  And  he  said  unto 
them,  *An  enemy  hath  done  this.  And  the  'servants 
say  unto  him.  Wilt  thou  then  that  we  go  and  gather 

29 them  up?  But  he  saith.  Nay;  lest  haply  while  ye 
gather  up  the  tares,  ye  root  up  the  wheat  with  them. 

30  Let  both  grow  together  until  the  harvest :  and  in  the 
time  of  the  harvest  I  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather 
up  first  the  tares,  and  bind  them  in  bundles  to  burn 
them :  but  gather  the  wheat  into  my  barn. 

31  Another  parable  set  he  before  them,  saying.  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  grain  of  mustard 

32  seed,  which  a  man  took  and  sowed  in  his  field :  which 
indeed  is  less  than  all  seeds;  but  when  it  is  grown, 
it  is  greater  than  the  herbs,  and  becometh  a  tree,  so 
that  the  birds  of  the  heaven  come  and  lodge  in  the 
branches  thereof. 

33  Another  parable  spake  he  unto  them ;  The  kingdom 
of  heaven  is  like  unto  leaven,  which  a  woman  took,

34  "AH  these  things  spake  Jesus  unto  the  multitude  in 
parables ;  and  without  a  parable  spake  he  not  unto  them  : 

35  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  the  prophet, 
saying,  "I  will  open  my  mouth  in  parables ;  "I  will  utter  things 
which  have  been  kept  secret  from  the  foundation  of  the  world. 

36  Then  Jesus  sent  the  multitude  away,  and  went  into  the 
house :  and  his  disciples  came  unto  him,  saying,  Declare 
unto  us  the  parable  of  the  tares  of  the  field. 

37  He  answered  and  said  unto  them.  He  that  soweth  the 
good  seed  is  the  Son  of  man ; 

38  'The  field  is  the  world ;  the  good  seed  are  the  children  of 
the  kingdom ;  but  the  tares  are  ''the  children  of  the  wicked  one; 

39  The  enemy  that  sowed  them  is  the  devil ;  ''the  harvest 
is  the  end  of  the  world ;  and  th^  reapers  are  the  angels. 

40  As  therefore  the  tares  are  gathered  and  burned  in  the 
fire;  so  shall  it  be  in  the  end  of  this  world. 

41  The  Son  of  man  shall  send  forth  his  angels,  'and  they 
shall  gather  out  of  his  kingdom  all  ||  things  that  offend, 
and  them  which  do  iniquity; 

42  ■'And  shall  cast  them  into  a  furnace  of  fire :  "there 
shall  be  wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

43  ''Then  shall  the  righteous  shine  forth  as  the  sun  in  the 
kingdom  of  their  Father.  'Who  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

44  ^Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  treasure 
hid  in  a  field ;  the  which  when  a  man  hath  found,  he  hideth, 
and  for  joy  thereof  goeth  and  'selleth  all  that  he  hath,  and 
'buyeth  that  field. 

45  ^Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  merchant- 
man seeking  goodly  pearls : 

46  "Who,  when  he  had  found  ""one  pearl  of  great  price, 
went  and  sold  all  that  he  had,  and  bought  it. 

47  ^Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  net 
that  was  cast  into  the  sea,  and  "gathered  of  every  kind : 

48  Which,  whenitwasfull,theydrewto  shore,  andsatdown, 
and  gathered  the  good  into  vessels,  but  cast  the  bad  away. 

49  So  shall  it  be  at  the  end  of  the  world:  the  angels  shall 
come  forth,  and  "sever  the  wicked  from  among  the  just. 

50  ''And  shall  cast  them  into  the  furnace  of  fire :  there 
shall  be  wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

51  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Have  ye  understood  all  these 
things?     They  say  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord. 

52  Then  said  he  unto  them.  Therefore  every  scribe  which 
is  instructed  unto  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  is  like  unto  a 
man  that  is  a  householder,  which  bringeth  forth  out  of  his 
treasure  "things  new  and  old. 

53  TJAnd  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  Jesus  had  finished 
these  parables,  he  departed  thence. 

54  ''And  when  he  was  come  into  his  own  country,  he 
taught  them  in  their  synagogue,  insomuch  that  they  were 
astonished,  and  said,  Whence  hath  this  man  this  wisdom, 
and  these  mighty  works? 

55  'Is  not  this  the  carpenter's  son?  is  not  his  mother 
called  Ma'ry?  and  'his  brethren,  "James,  and  Jo'ses,  and 
Si'mon,  and  Ju'das? 

56  And  his  sisters,  are  they  not  all  with  us?  Whence 
then  hath  this  man  all  these  things? 

57  And  they  "'were  offended  in  him.  But  Jesus  said  unto 
them,  "A  prophet  is  not  without  honour,  save  in  his  own 
country,  and  in  his  own  house. 

58  And  'he  did  not  many  mighty  works  there,  because  of 
their  unbelief. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

HerotVs  opinion  of  Christ. 

AT  that  time  "Her'od  the  tetrarch  heard  of  the  fame  of  Jesus, 
2  And  said  unto  his  servants.  This  is  John  the  Baptist ; 
he  is  risen  from  the  dead  ;  and  therefore  mighty  works  ||do 
shew  forth  themselves  in  him. 


and  hid  in  three  'measures  of  meal,  till  it  was  all 
leavened. 

34  All  these  things  spake  Jesus  in  parables  unto  the 
multitudes;  and  without  a  parable  spake  he  nothing 

35  unto  them :  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
^by  the  prophet,  saying, 

1  will  open  my  mouth  in  parables; 
I  will  utter  things  hidden  from  the  foundation  'of 
the  world. 

36  Then  he  left  the  multitudes,  and  went  into  the 
house:  and  his  disciples  came  unto  him,  saying. 
Explain  unto  us  the  parable  of  the  tares  of  the  field. 

37  And  be  answered  and  said.  He  that  soweth  the  good 

38  seed  is  the  Son  of  man ;  and  the  field  is  the  world ; 
and  the  good  seed,  these  are  the  sons  of  the  king- 

39  dom ;  and  the  tares  are  the  sons  of  the  evil  one;  and 
the  enemy  that  sowed  them  is  the  devil :  and  the 
harvest  is  *the  end  of  the  world;  and   the   reapers 

40  are  angels.  As  therefore  the  tares  are  gathered  up 
and  burned  with  fire ;  so  shall  it  be  in  Hhe  end  of  the 

41  world.  The  Son  of  man  shall  send  forth  his  angels, 
and  they  shall  gather  out  of  his  kingdom  all  things 

42  that  cause  stumbling,  and  them  that  do  iniquity,  and 
shall  cast  them  into  the  furnace  of  fire:   there  shall 

43  be  the  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth.  Then  shall 
the  righteous  shine  forth  ag  the  sun  in  the  kingdom 
of  their  Father.     He  that  hath  ears,  let  him  hear. 

4^  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  treasure 
hidden  in  the  field;  which  a  man  found,  and  hid; 
and  'in  his  joy  he  goeth  and  selleth  all  that  he  hath, 
and  buyeth  that  field. 

45  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man 

46  that  is  a  merchant  seeking  goodly  pearls :  and  hav- 
ing found  one  pearl  of  great  price,  he  went  and  sold 
all  that  he  had,  and  bought  it. 

47  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  'net, 
that  was  cast  into  the  sea,  and  gathered   of  every 

48  kind  :  which,  when  it  was  filled,  they  drew  up  on  the 
beach ;  and   they   sat  down,  and  gathered  the  good 

49  into  vessels,  but  the  bad  they  cast  away.  So  shall 
it  be  in  Hhe  end  of  the  world :  the  angels  shall  come 
forth,  and  sever  the  wicked  from  among  the  right- 

50 eons,  and  shall  cast  them  into  the  furnace  of  fire: 
there  shall  be  the  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

51  Have  ye  understood  all  these  things?     They  say 

52  unto  him,  Yea.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Therefore 
every  scribe  who  hath  been  made  a  disciple  to  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that  is  a 
householder,  which  bringeth  forth  out  of  his  treasure 
things  new  and  old. 

53  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus    had   finished 

54  these  parables,  he  departed  thence.  And  coming 
into  his  own  country  he  taught  them  in  their  syna- 
gogue, insomuch  that  they  were  astonished,  and 
said.  Whence  hath  this  man  this  wisdom,  and  these 

55 ^mighty  works?     Is  not  this   the    carpenter's    son? 

Is  not  his  mother  called  Ma'ry?  and  his  brethren, 
56  James,  and  Jo'seph,  and  Si'mon,  and  Ju'das?     And 

his  sisters,  are  they  not  all  with  us?  Whence  then 
57 hath  this  man  all  these  things?     And   they    were 

'offended   in  him.      But  Jesus  said   unto   them,    A 

prophet  is  not  without  honour,  save  in  his  own  coun- 
58  try,   and  his  own   house.     And  he   did    not   many 

'mighty  works  there  because  of  their  unbelief. 

-•■4*      At  that  season  Her'od  the  tetrarch  heard  the  re- 

2  port  concerning  Jesus,  and  said  unto  his  servants. 

This  is   John    the    Baptist;    he   is   risen    from    the 

dead;  and  therefore  do  these  powers  work  in  him.

3  "lyFor  Her'od  had  laid  hold  on  John,  and  bound  him,  and 
put  Aim  in  prison  for  He-ro'di-as'  sake,  his  brotherPhil'ip's  wife. 

4  For  John  said  unto  him,  "It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to 
have  her. 

5  And  when  he  would  have  put  him  to  death,  he  feared 
the  multitude,  ''because  they  counted  him  as  a  prophet. 

6  But  when  Her'od's  birthday  was  kept,  the  daughter  of 
He-ro'di-as  danced  fbefore  them,  and  pleased  Her'od. 

7  Whereupon  he  promised  with  an  oath  to  give  her  what- 
soever she  would  asK. 

8  And  she,  being  before  instructed  of  her  mother,  said, 
Give  me  here  John  Baptist's  head  in  a  charger. 

9  And  the  king  was  sorry:  nevertheless  for  the  oath's 
sake,  and  them  that  sat  with  him  at  meat,  he  commanded 
it  to  be  given  her. 

10  And  he  sent,  and  beheaded  John  in  the  prison. 

11  And  his  head  was  brought  in  a  charger,  and  given  to 
the  damsel :  and  she  brought  it  to  her  mother. 

12  And  his  disciples  came,  and  took  up  the  body,  and 
buried  it,  and  went  and  told  Jesus. 

13  ^'When  Jesus  heard  of  it,  he  departed  thence  by  ship, 
into  a  desert  place  apart:  and  when  the  people  had  heard 
thereof,  they  followed  him  on  foot  out  of  the  cities. 

14  And  Jesus  went  forth,  and  saw  a  great  multitude,  and 
'was  moved  with  compassion  toward  them,  and  he  healed 
their  sick. 

15  ^'And  when  it  was  evening,  his  disciples  came  to  him, 
saying,  This  is  a  desert  place,  and  the  time  is  now.  past; 
send  the  multitude  away,  that  they  may  go  into  the  villages, 
and  buy  themselves  victuals. 

16  But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  They  need  not  depart ;  give 
ye  them  to  eat. 

17  And  they  say  unto  him,  We  have  here  but  five  loaves, 
and  two  fishes. 

18  He  said,  Bring  them  hither  to  me. 

19  And  he  commanded  the  multitude  to  sit  down  on  the 
grass,  and  took  the  five  loaves,  and  the  two  fishes,  and  look- 
ing up  to  heaven,  *he  blessed,  and  brake,  and  gave  the  loaves 
to  his  disciples,  and  the  disciples  to  the  multitude. 

20  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were  filled:  and  they  took 
up  of  the  fragments  that  remained  twelve  baskets  full. 

21  And  they  that  had  eaten  were  about  five  thousand 
men,  besides  women  and  children. 

22  •(JAnd  straightway  Jesus  constrained  his  disciples  to 
get  into  a  ship,  and  to  go  before  him  unto  the  other  side, 
while  he  sent  the  multitudes  away. 

23  And  when  he  had  sent  the  multitudes  away,  he  went 
up  into  a  mountain  apart  to  pray:  *and  when  the  evening 
was  come,  he  was  there  alone. 

24  But  the  ship  was  now  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  tossed 
with  waves:  for  the  wind  was  contrary. 

25  And  in  the  fourth  watch  of  the  night  Jesus  went  unto 
them,  walking  on  the  sea. 

26  And  when  the  disciples  saw  him  'walking  on  the  sea,  they 
were  troubled,  saying.  It  is  a  spirit ;  and  they  cried  out  for  fear. 

27  But  straightway  Jesus  spake  unto  them,  saying.  Be  of 
good  cheer ;  it  is  I ;  be  not  afraid. 

28  And  Pe'ter  answered  him  and  said.  Lord,  if  it  be  thou, 
bid  me  come  unto  thee  on  the  water. 

29  And  he  said.  Come.  And  when  Pe'ter  was  come  down 
out  of  the  ship,  he  walked  on  the  water,  to  go  to  Jesus. 

30  But  when  he  saw  the  wind  || boisterous,  he  was  afraid; 
and  beginning  to  sink,  he  cried,  saying,  Lord,  save  me. 

31  And  immediately  Jesus  stretched  forth  his  hand,  and 
caught  him,  and  said  unto  him,  O  thou  of  little  faith,  where- 
fore didst  thou  doubt? 

32  And  when  they  were  come  into  the  ship,  the  wind  ceased. 

33  Then  they  that  were  in  the  ship  came  and  worshipped 
him,  saying.  Of  a  truth  "thou  art  the  Son  of  God. 


3  For  Her'od  had  laid  hold  on  John,  and  bound  him, 
and  put  him  in  prison  for  the  sake  of  He-ro'di-as,  his 

4  brother  Phil'ip's  wife.     For  John  said  unto  him.  It 

5  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have  her.  And  when  he 
would  have  put  him  to  death,  he  feared  the  multi- 

6tude,  because  they  counted  him  as  a  prophet.  But 
when  Her'od's  birthday  came,  the  daughter  of 
He-ro'di-as  danced  in  the  midst,  and  pleased  Her'od. 

7  Whereupon  he  promised  with  an  oath  to  give  her 

8  whatsoever  she  should  ask.  And  she,  being  put 
forward  by  her  mother,  saith.  Give  me  here  in  a 

9  charger  the  head  of  John  the  Baptist.  And  .the 
king  was  grieved ;  but  for  the  sake  of  his  oa^hs,  and 
of  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him,  he  commanded 

10 it  to  be  given;  and  he  sent,  and  beheaded  John  in 

lithe  prison.     And  his  head  was  brought  in  a  charger, 

and  given  to  the  damsel :  and  she  brought  it  to  her 

12  mother.  And  his  disciples  came,  and  took  up  the 
corpse,  and  buried  him;  and  they  went  and  told 
Jesus. 

13  Now  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  withdrew  from 
thence  in  a  boat  to  a  desert  place  apart :  and  when 
the  multitudes  heard  thereof,  they  followed  him  'on 

14  foot  from  the  cities.  And  he  came  forth,  and  saw  a 
great  multitude,  and  he  had  compassion  on  them, 

15  and  healed  their  sick.  And  when  even  was  come, 
the  disciples  came  to  him,  saying.  The  place  is 
desert,  and  the  time  is  already  past;  send  the  multi' 
tudes  away,  that  they  may.  go  into  the  villages,  and 

16  buy  themselves  food.  But  Jesus  said  unto  them. 
They  have  no  need  to  go  away;  give  ye  them  to 

17  eat.     And  they  say  unto  him.  We  have  here  but 

18  five  loaves,  and  two  fishes.     And  he   said.  Bring 

19  them  hither  to  me.  And  he  commanded  the  multi- 
tudes to  ^sit  down  on  the  grass;  and  he  took  the 
five  loaves,  and  the  two  fishes,  and  looking  up  to 
heaven,  he  blessed,  and  brake  and  gave  the  loaves 
to  the  disciples,  and  the  disciples  *o  the  multitudes. 

20  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were  filled :  and  they  took 
up  that  which  remained  over  of  the  broken  pieces, 

21  twelve  baskets  full.  And  they  that  did  eat  were 
about  five  thousand  men,  besides  women  and  chil- 
dren. 

22  And  straightway  he  constrained  the  disciples  to 
enter  into  the  boat,  and  to  go  before  him  unto  the 
other  side,  till  he  should  send  the  multitudes  away. 

23  And  after  he  had  sent  the  multitudes  away,  he  went 
up  into  the  mountain  apart  to  pray :  and  when  even 

24  was  come,  he  was  there  alone.  But  the  boat  *was 
now  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  distressed  by  the  waves; 

25  for  the  wind  was  contrary.  And  in  the  fourth  watch 
of  the  night  he  came  unto  them,  walking  upon  the 

26  sea.  And  when  the  disciples  saw  him  walking  on 
the  sea,  they  were  troubled,  saying,  It  is  au  appari- 

27tion;  and  they  cried  out  for  fear.  But  straightway 
Jesus  spake  unto  them,  saying,  Be  of  good  cheer ;  it 

28  is  I ;  be  not  afraid.  And  Pe'ter  answered  him  and 
said,  Lord,  if  it  be  thou,  bid  me  come  unto  thee 

29  upon  the  waters.  And  he  said.  Come.  And  Pe'tei 
went    down    from    the  boat,  and  walked  upon  the 

30  waters,  Ho  come  to  Jesus.  But  when  he  saw  the 
wind,"  he   was  afraid:    and    beginning  to  sink,  he 

31  cried  out,  saying.  Lord,  save  me.  And  immediately 
Jesus  stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  took  hold  of 
him,  and  saith  unto  him,  O  thou  of  little  faith,  where- 

32 fore  didst  thou  doubt?     And  when  they  were  gone 
33  up  into  the  boat,  the  wind  ceased.     And  they  that 

were  in  the  boat  worshipped  him,  saying,  Of  a  truth 

thou  art  the  Son  of  God.

CHAPTER  XV. 

God's  commandments, 

THEN  "came  to  Jesus  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  which  were 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying, 

2  'Why  do  thy  disciples  trangress  ''the  tradition  of  the 
elders?  for  they  wash  not  their  hands  when  they  eat  bread. 

3  But  he  answered  and  said  unto  them.  Why  do  ye  also 
transgress  the  commandment  of  God  by  your  tradition  ? 

4  For  God  commanded,  saying,  ''Honour  thy  father  and 
mother:  and,  'He  that  curseth  father  or  mother,  let  him  die 
the  death. 

5  But  ye  say,  Whosoever  shall  say  to  his  father  or  his  mother, 
■^It  is  a  gift,  by  whatsoever  thou  mightest  be  profited  by  me ; 

6  And  honour  not  his  father  or  his  mother,  he  shall  be  free. 
Thus  have  ye  made  the  commandment  of  God  of  none  effect 
by  your  tradition. 

7  "Ye  hypocrites,  well  did  E-sa'ias  prophesy  of  you,  saying, 

8  *This  people  draweth  nigh  unto  me  with  their  mouth,  and 
honoureth  me  with  (heir  lips ;  but  their  heart  is  far  from  me. 

9  But  in  vain  do  they  worship  me,  'teaching  for  doctrines 
the  commandments  of  men. 

10  ^*And  he  called  the  multitude,  and  said  unto  them. 
Hear,  and  understand : 

1 1  'Not  that  which  goeth  into  the  mouth  defileth  a  man ; 
but  that  which  cometh  out  of  the  mouth,  this  defileth  a  man. 

12  Then  came  his  disciples,  and  said  unto  him,  Knowest  thou 
that  the  Phar'i-sees  were  offended,  after  they  heard  this  saying? 

13  But  he  answered  and  said,  ""Every  plant,  which  my 
heavenly  Father  hath  not  planted,  shall  be  rooted  up. 

14  Let  them  alone :  "they  be  blind  leaders  of  the  blind. 
And  if  the  blind  lead  the  blind,  both  shall  fall  into  the  ditch. 

15  "Then  answered  Pe'ter  and  said  unto  him.  Declare  unto 
us  this  parable. 

16  And  Jesus  said,  ^Are  ye  also  yet  without  understanding  ? 

17  Do  not  ye  yet  understand,  that  'whatsoever  entereth  in  at 
the  mouth  goeth  into  the  belly,andiscastout  into  the  draught? 

18  But  'those  things  which  proceed  out  of  the  mouth  come 
forth  from  the  heart;  and  they  defile  the  man. 

19  'For  out  of  the  heart  proceed  evil  thoughts,  murders, 
adulteries,  fornications,  thefts,  false  witness,  blasphemies  : 

20  These  are  the  things  which  defile  a  man :  but  to  eat 
with  uuwashen  hands  defileth  not  a  man. 

21  %'Then  Jesus  went  thence,  and  departed  into  the  coasts 
of  Tyre  and  Si'don. 

22  And,  behold,  a  woman  of  Ca'naan  came  out  of  the  same 
coasts,  and  cried  unto  him,  saying,  Have  mercy  on  me,  O 
Lord,  thoti  son  of  Da'vid;  my  daughter  is  grievously  vexed 
with  a  devil. 

23  But  he  answered  her  not  a  word.  And  his  disciples  came 
and  besought  him,saying.  Send  her  away;  for  she  crieth  after  us. 

24  But  he  answered  and  said,  "I  am  not  sent  but  unto  the 
lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Is'ra-el. 

25  Then  came  she  and  worshipped  him,  saying.  Lord, 
help  me. 

26  But  he  answered  and  said.  It  is  not  meet  to  take  the 
children's  bread  and  to  cast  it  to  ""dogs. 

27  And  she  said.  Truth,  Lord :  yet  the  dogs  eat  of  the 
crumbs  which  fall  from  their  masters'  table. 

28  Then  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her,  O  woman, 
great  is  thy  faith:  be  it  unto  thee  even  as  thou  wilt.  And 
her  daughter  was  made  whole  from  that  very  hour. 


34  And  when  they  had  crossed  over,  they  came  to  the 

35  land,  unto  Gen-nes'a-ret.  And  when  the  men  of  that 
place  knew  him,  they  sent  into  all  that  region  round 
about,  and  brought  unto  him  all  that  were  sick; 

36  and  they  besought  him  that  they  might  only  touch 
the  border  of  his  garment :  and  as  many  as  touched 
were  made  whole. 

Then  there  come  to  Jesus  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  Phar'i- 

2  sees  and  scribes,  saying.  Why  do  thy  disciples 
transgress    the   tradition   of  the   elders?     for    they 

3  wash  not  their  hands  when  they  eat  bread.  And 
he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Why  do  ye  also 
transgress    the    commandment    of  God    because  of 

4 your  tradition?  For  God  said,  Honour  thy  father 
and  thy   mother :    and,  He  that  speaketh  evil  of 

5  father  or  mother,  let  him  'die  the  death.  But  ye 
say.  Whosoever  shall  say  to  his  father  or  his 
mother.  That   whw-ewith  thou  mightest  have  been 

6 profited  by  me  is  given  to  God;  he  shall  not 
honour  his  father^     And  ye  have    made  void  the 

7  'word  of  God  because  of  your  tradition.  Ye  hypo- 
crites, well  did  I-sa'iah  prophesy  of  you,  saying, 

8  This  people  honoureth  me  with  their  lips ; 
But  their  heart  is  far  from  me. 

9  But  in  vain  do  they  worship  me. 

Teaching  as  their  doctrines  the  precepts  of  men. 

10  And  he  called  to  him  the  multitude,  and  said  unto 

11  them.  Hear,  and  understand:  Not  that  which  enter- 
eth into  the  mouth  defileth  the  man  ;  but  that  which 
proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth,  this  defileth  the  man. 

12  Then  came  the  disciples,  and  said  unto  him,  Know- 
est thou  that  the  Phar'i-sees  were  ^offended,  when 


13 they  heard  this  saying?  But  he  answered  and 
said.    Every    'plant    which    my    heavenly    Father 

14 planted  not,  shall  be  rooted  up.  Let  them  alone: 
they  are  blind  guides.     And  if  the  blind  guide  the 

15  blind,  both  shall  fall  into  a  pit.  And  Pe'ter  an- 
swered and    said   unto   him,  Declare   unto    us   the 

16  parable.     And  he  said.  Are  ye  also  even  yet  with- 

17  out  understanding?  Perceive  ye  not,  that  whatso- 
ever  goeth  into  the  mouth  passeth  into  the  belly, 

18  and  is  cast  out  into  the  draught?  But  the  things 
which  proceed  out  of  the  mouth  come  forth  out  of 

19 the  heart;  and  they  defile  the  man.  For  out  of  the 
heart  come  forth  evil  thoughts,  murders,  adulteries, 

20 fornications,  thefts,  false  witness,  railings:  these  are 
the  things  which  defile  the  man :  but  to  eat  with 
unwashen  hands  defileth  not  the  man. 

21  And   Jesus  went  out  thence,  and    "withdrew  into 

22  the  parts  of  Tyre  and  Si'don.  And,  behold,  a  Ca- 
naan-i'tish  woman  came  out  from  those  borders,  and 
cried,  saying.  Have  mercy  on  me,  O  Lord,  thou  son 
of  Da'vid  ;  my  daughter  is  gTievou.sly  vexed  with  a 

23 'devil.  But  he  answered  her  not  a  word.  And  his 
disciples  came  and  besought  him,  saying.  Send  her 

24 away;  for  she  crieth  after  us.  But  he  answered  and 
said,  I  was  not  sent  but  unto  the  lost  sheep  of  the 

25  house  of  Is'ra-el.     But  she  came    and    worshipped 

26  him,  saying.  Lord,  help  me.  And  he  answered 
and    said.  It    is    not    meet   to  take    the    children's 

27 'bread  and  cast  it  to  the  dogs.  But  she  said. 
Yea,    Lord :    for  even  the  dogs  eat  of  the  crumbs 

28  which  fall  from  their  masters'  table.  Then  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  her,  O  woman,  great  is  thy 
&ith :  be  it  done  unto  thee  even  as  thou  wilt.  And 
her  daughter  was  healed  from  that  hour.

29  "And  Jesus  departed  from  hence,  and  came  nigh  'unto 
the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee ;  and  went  up  into  a  mountain,  and  sat 
down  there. 

30  "And  great  multitudes  came  unto  him,  having  with  them 
those  that  were  lame,  blind,  dumb,  maimed,  and  many  others, 
and  cast  them  down  at  Jesus'  feet ;  and  he  healed  them : 

31  Insomuch  that  the  multitude  wondered,  when  they 
saw  the  dumb  to  speak,  the  maimed  to  be  whole,  the  lame 
to  walk,  and  the  blind  to  see :  and  they  glorified  the  God 
of  Is'ra-el. 

32  ^'Then  Jesus  called  his  disciples  unto  him,  and  said, 
I  have  compassion  on  the  multitude,  because  they  continue 
with  me  now  three  days,  and  have  nothing  to  eat:  and  I 
will  not  send  them  away  fasting,  lest  they  faint  in  the  way. 

33  "And  his  disciples  say  unto  him,  Whence  should  we 
have  so  much  bread  in  the  wilderness,  as  to  fill  so  great  a 
multitude? 

34  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  How  many  loaves  have  ye  ? 
And  they  said.  Seven,  and  a  few  little  fishes. 

35  And  he  commanded  the  multitude  to  sit  down  on  the 
ground. 

36  And  ''he  took  the  seven  loaves  and  the  fishes,  and  'gave 
thanks,  and  brake  them,  and  gave  to  his  disciples,  and  the 
disciples  to  the  multitude. 

37  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were  filled :  and  they  took  up 
of  the  broken  meat  that  was  left  seven  baskets  full. 

38  And  they  that  did  eat  were  four  thousand  men,  besides 
women  and  children. 

39  -^And  he  sent  away  the  multitude,  and  took  ship,  and 
came  into  the  coasts  of  Mag'da-la. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

The  Pharisees  require  a  sign. 

r  nHE''Phar'i-8eesalso  with  the  Sad'du-ceescame,  and  tempting 
-L    desired  him  that  he  would  shew  them  a  sign  from  heaven. 

2  He  answered  and  said  unto  them,  When  it  is  evening, 
ye  say.  It  will  be  fair  weather :  for  the  sky  is  red. 

3  And  in  the  morning,  It  will  be  foul  weather  to-day :  for 
the  sky  is  red  and  lowering.  O  ye  hypocrites,  ye  can  discern 
the  face  of  the  sky;  but  can  ye  not  discern  the  signs  of  the  times? 

4  'A  wicked  and  adulterous  nation  seeketh  after  a  sign ; 
and  there  shall  no  sign  be  given  unto  it,  but  the  sign  of  the 
prophet  Jo'nas.     And  he  left  them,  and  departed. 

5  And  "when  his  disciples  were  come  to  the  other  side, 
they  had  forgotten  to  take  bread. 

6  ^Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  ''Take  heed  and  beware  of 
the  leaven  of  the  Phar'i-sees  and  of  the  Sad'du-cees. 

7  And  they  reasoned  among  themselves,  saying.  It  is  be- 
cause we  have  taken  no  bread. 

8  Which  when  Jesus  perceived,  he  said  unto  them,  O  ye  of 
little  faith,  why  reason  ye  among  yourselves,  because  ye 
have  brought  no  bread? 

9  'Do  ye  not  yet  understand,  neither  remember  the  five 
loaves  of  the  five  thousand,  and  how  many  baskets  ye  took  up  ? 

10  -TNeither  the  seven  loaves  of  the  four  thousand,  and 
how  many  baskets  ye  took  up? 

11  How  is  it  that  ye  do  not  understand  that  I  spake  it  not 
to  you  concerning  bread,  that  ye  should  beware  of  the  leaven 
of  the  Phar'i-sees  and  of  the  Sad'du-cees  ? 

12  Then  understood  they  how  that  he  bade  them  not  be- 
ware of  the  leaven  of  bread,  but  of  the  doctrine  of  the  Phar'- 
i-sees and  of  the  Sad'du-cees. 

13  ^[When  Jesus  came  unto  the  coasts  of  Ces-a-re'a  Phi- 
lip'pi,  he  asked  his  disciples,  saying,  "Whom  do  men  say  that 
I,  the  Son  of  man,  am  ? 

14  And  they  said,  *Some  say  that  thou  art  John  the  Baptist ; 
some,  E-li'as;  and  others,  Jer-e-mi'as,  or  one  of  the  prophets. 

15  He  saith  unto  them.  But  whom  say  ye  that  I  am? 

16  And  Si'mon  Pe'ter  answered  and  said,  'Thou  art  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of  the  living  God. 


29  And  Jesus  departed  thence,  and  came  nigh  unto 
the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee ;  and  he  went  up  into  the  mount- 

30ain,  and  sat  there.  And  there  came  unto  him 
great  multitudes,  having  with  them  the  lame, 
blind,  dumb,  maimed,  and  many  others,  and  they 
cast  them  down  at  his  feet ;   and  he  healed  them : 

31  insomuch  that  the  multitude  wondered,  when  they 
saw  the  dumb  speaking,  the  maimed  whole,  and  the 
lame  walking,  and  the  blind  seeing :  and  they  glori- 
fied the  God  of  Is'ra-el. 

32  And  Jesus  called  unto  him  his  disciples,  and  said, 
I  have  compas.sion  on  the  multitude,  because  they 
continue  with  me  now  three  days  and  have  nothing 
to  eat :  and  I  would  not  send  them  away  fasting,  lest 

33  haply  they  faint  in  the  way.  And  the  disciples  say 
unto  him.  Whence  should  we  have  so  many  loaves 
in  a  desert  place,  as  to  fill  so  great  a  multitude? 

34  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  How  many  loaves 
have  ye?     And  they  said.  Seven,  and  a  few  small 

35  fishes.     And   he   commanded   the  multitude   to   sit 
36 down  on  the  ground;  and  he  took  the  seven  loaves 

and  the  fishes ;  and  he  gave  thanks  and  brake,  and 
gave  to  the  disciples,  and  the  disciples  to  the  multi- 

37  tudes.  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were  filled  :  and 
they   took   up  that   which    remained    over    of  the 

38  broken  pieces,  seven  baskets  full.  And  they  that 
did  eat  were  four  thousand  men,  beside  women  and 

39  children.  And  he  sent  away  the  multitudes,  and 
entered  into  the  boat,  and  came  into  the  borders  of 
Mag'a-dan. 

-1-0  And  the  Phar'i-seesandSad'du-ceescame,and tempt- 
ing him  asked  him  to  shew  them  a  sign  from  heaven. 

2  But  he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  'When  it  is 
evening,  ye   say.  It  will  be  fair  weather:    for  the 

3  heaven  is  red.  And  in  the  morning.  It  will  be  foul 
weather  to-day :  for  the  heaven  is  red  and  lowring. 
Ye  know  how  to  discern  the  face  of  the  heaven ;  but 

4  ye  cannot  discern  the  signs  of  the  times.  An  evil 
and  adulterous  generation  seeketh  after  a  sign ;  and 
there  shall  no  sign  be  given  unto  it,  but  the  sign  of 
Jo'nah.     And  he  left  them,  and  departed. 

5  And  the  disciples  came  to  the  other  side  and  for- 

6  got  to  take  ^bread.  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Take 
heed  and  beware  of  the  leaven  of  the  Phar'i-sees  and 

7  Sad'du-cees.     And  they  reasoned  among  themselves, 

8  saying,  ^We  took  no  ^bread.  And  Jesus  perceiving 
it  said,  O  ye  of  little  faith,  why  reason  ye  among 

9  yourselves,  because  ye  have  no  ^bread  ?  Do  ye  not 
yet  perceive,  neither  remember  the  five  loaves  of 
the  five  thousand,  and  how  many  ''baskets  ye   took 

10  up  ?     Neither  the  seven  loaves  of  the  four  thousand, 

11  and  how  many  'baskets  ye  took  up?  How  is  it  that 
ye  do  not  perceive  that  I  spake  not  to  you  concern- 
ing   ^bread?     But    beware    of   the    leaven    of   the 

12  Phar'i-sees  and  Sad'du-cees.  Then  understood  they 
how  that  he  bade  them  not  beware  of  the  leaven  of 
^bread,  but  of  the  teaching  of  the  Phar'i-sees  and 
Sad'du-cees. 

13  Now  when  Jesus  came  into  the  parts  of  Cses-a-re'a 
Phi-lip' pi,  he  asked  his  disciples,  saying.  Who  do  men 

14  say  'that  the  Son  of  man  is?  And  they  said,  Some  say 
John  the  Baptist;  some,  E-lijah:  and  others,  Jer-e-mi'ah, 

15  or  one  of  the  prophets.    He  saith  unto  them.  But  who 
16 say  ye  that  I  am?     And  Si'mon  Pe'ter  answered  and 

said.  Thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  the  living  God.

17  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Blessed  art 
thou,  Si'mon  Bar-jo'na:  *for  flesh  and  blood  hath  not  re- 
vealed it  unto  thee,  but  'my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

18  And  I  say  also  unto  thee.  That  "thou  art  Pe'ter,  and 
"upon  this  rock  I  will  build  my  church :  and  "the  gates  of 
hell  shall  not  prevail  against  it. 

19  "And  I  will  give  unto  thee  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of 
heaven :  and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  bind  on  earth  shall  be 
bound  in  heaven ;  and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  loose  on  earth 
shall  be  loosed  in  heaven. 

20  "Then  charged  he  his  disciples  that  they  should  tell  no 
man  that  he  was  Jesus  the  Christ. 

21  ^From  that  time  forth  began  Jesus  'to  shew  unto  his 
disciples,  how  that  he  must  go  uuto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  suffer 
many  thing  of  the  elders  aud  chief  priests  and  scribes,  and 
be  killed,  and  be  raised  again  the  third  day. 

22  Then  Pe'ter  took  him,  and  began  to  rebuke  him,  say- 
ing, fBe  it  far  from  thee.  Lord:  this  shall  not  be  unto  thee. 

23  But  he  turned,  and  said  unto  Pe'ter,  Get  thee  behind 
me,  'Sa'tan ;  'thou  art  an  offence  unto  me :  for  thou  savour- 
est  not  the  things  that  be  of  God,  but  those  that  be  of  men. 

24  V'Then  said  Jesus  unto  his  disciples,  If  any  man  will 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself,  aud  take  up  his  cross, 
and  follow  me. 

25  For  ''whosoever  will  save  his  life  shall  lose  it:  and 
whosoever  will  lose  his  life  for  my  sake  shall  find  it. 

26  For  what  is  a  man  profited,  if  he  shall  gain  the  whole 
world,  and  lose  his  own  soul  ?  or  "what  shall  a  man  give  in 
exchange  for  his  soul. 

27  For  'the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  the  glory  of  his 
Father  "with  his  angels;  'and  then  he  shall  reward  every 
man  according  to  his  works. 

28  Verily,  I  say  unto  you,  "There  be  some  standing  here, 
which  shall  not  taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the  Son  of  man 
coming  in  his  kingdom. 

CHAPTER   XVII. 

The  transjiguration  of  Christ— He  healeth  the  lunatic. 

AND^after  six  days  Jesus  taketh  Pe'ter,  James, and  John  his 
brother,and  bringeth  them  up  into  a  high  mountain  apart, 

2  And  was  transfigured  before  them :  and  his  face  did 
shine  as  the  sun,  and  his  raiment  was  white  as  the  light. 

3  And,  behold,  there  appeared  unto  them  Mo'ses  and 
E-li'as  talking  with  him. 

4  Then  answered  Pe'ter,  and  said  unto  Jesus,  Lord,  it  is  good 
for  us  to  be  here :  if  thou  wilt,  let  us  make  here  three  taber- 
nacles ;  one  for  thee,  and  one  for  Mo'ses,  and  one  for  E-li'as. 

5  'While  he  yet  spake,  behold,  a  bright  cloud  overshadowed 
them :  and  behold  a  voice  out  of  the  cloud,  which  said,  "This 
is  my  beloved  Son, ''in  whom  I  am  well  pleased;  'hear  ye  him. 

6  /And  when  the  disciples  heard  it,  they  fell  on  their  face, 
and  were  sore  afraid. 

7  And  Jesus  came  and  "touched  them,  and  said,  Arise, 
and  be  not  afraid. 

8  And  when  they  had  lifted  up  their  eyes,  they  saw  no  man, 
save  Jesus  only. 

9  And  as  they  came  down  from  the  mountain,  *Jesus 
charged  them,  saying,  Tell  the  vision  to  no  man,  until  the 
Son  of  man  be  risen  again  from  the  dead. 

10  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying,  'Why  then  say  the 
scribes  that  E-li'as  must  first  come? 

11  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  E-li'as  truly 
shall  first  come,  and  ^restore  all  things : 

12  'But  I  say  unto  you,  that  E-li'as  is  come  already,  and  they 
knew  him  not,  but  ""have  done  unto  him  whatsoever  they 
listed.     Likewise  "shall  also  the  Son  of  man  suffer  of  them. 

13  "Then  the  disciples  understood  that  he  spake  unto  them 
of  John  the  Baptist. 

14  ^"And  when  they  were  come  to  the  multitude,  there 
came  to  him  a  certain  man  kneeling  down  to  him,  and  saying. 


17  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Blessed  art 
thou,  Si'mon  Bar-Jo'nah :  for  flesh  and  blood  hath  not 
revealed   it  unto  thee,  but  my  Father  which   is  in 

18  heaven.  And  I  also  say  unto  thee,  that  thou  art 
'Pe'ter,  and  upon  this  ^rock  I  will  build  my  church  ; 
and  the  gates  of  Ha'des  shall  not  prevail  against  it. 

191  will  give  unto  thee  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of 
heaven:  and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  bind  on  earth 
shall  be  bound  in  heaven :  and  whatsoever  thou  shalt 

20  loose  on  earth  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven.  Then 
charged  he  the  disciples  that  they  should  tell  no  man 
that  he  was  the  Christ. 

21  Froin  that  time  began  'Jesus  to  shew  unto  his 
disciples,  how  that  he  must  go  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
suffer  many  things  of  the  elders  and  chief  priests 
and  scribes,  and   be   killed,  and  the  third  day   be 

22  raised  up.  And  Pe'ter  took  him,  and  1  egan  to  re- 
buke him,  saying,  ^Be  it  far  from  thee,  Lord:  this 

23  shall  never  be  uuto  thee.  But  he  turned,  and 
said  unto  Pe'ter,  Get  thee  behind  me,  Sa'tan :  thou 
art  a  stumbling-block   unto  me:    for  thou  mindest 

24  not  the  things  of  God,  but  the  things  of  men.  Then 
said  Jesus  unto  his  disciples,  If  any  man  would  come 
after  me,  let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his  cross, 

25  and  follow  me.  For  whosoever  would  save  his  'life 
shall  lose  it:  and  whosoever  shall  lose  his  Hife  for 

26  my  sake  shall  find  it.  For  what  shall  a  man  be 
profited,  if  he  shall  gain  the  whole  world,  and  forfeit 
his  'life?  or  what  shall  a  man  give  in  exchange  for 

27  his  'life  ?  For  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  the 
glory  of  his  Father  with  his  angels;  and  then  shall 
he  render  unto  every  man  according  to  his  Meeds. 

28  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  There  be  some  of  them  that 
stand  here,  which  shall  in  no  wise  taste  of  death,  till 
they  see  the  Son  of  man  coming  in  his  kingdom. 

1/      And  after  six  days  Jesus  taketh  with  him  Pe'ter, 
and  James,  and  John  his  brother,  and  bringeth  them 
2 up  into  a  high  mountain  apart:  and  he  was  trans- 
figured before  them :  and  his  face  did  shine  as  the 
sun,  and  his  garments   became  white  as  the  light. 

3  And  behold,  there  appeared  unto  them  Mo'ses  and 

4  E-lr'jah  talking  with  him.  And  Pe'ter  answered,  and 
said  unto  Jesus,  Lord,  it  is  good  for  us  to  be  here: 
if  thou  wilt,  I  will  make  here  three  'tabernacles;  one 
for  thee,  and  one  for  Mo'ses,  and  one  for  E-li'jah. 

5  While  he  was  yet  speaking,  behold,  a  bright  cloud 
overshadowed  them :  and  behold,  a  voice  out  of  the 
cloud,  saying.  This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I 

6am  well  pleased;  hear  ye  him.  And  when  the 
disciples  heard  it,  they  fell  on  their  face,  and  were 

7  sore  afraid.     Aud  Jesus  came  and  touched  them  and 

8  said.  Arise,  and  be  not  afraid.  And  lifting  up  their 
eyes,  they  saw  no  one,  save  Jesus  only. 

9  And  as  they  were  coming  down  from  the  mount- 
ain, Jesus  commanded  them,  saying.  Tell  the  vision 
to  no  man,  until  the  Son  of  man  be  risen  from  the 

10  dead.  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying.  Why 
then  say  the  scribes  that  E-li'jah  must  first  come  ? 

11  And  he  answered  and  said,  E-li'jah  indeed  cometh, 
12 and   shall  restore  all  things:  but  I  say   unto  you, 

that  E-Ii'jah  is  come  already,  and  they  knew  him  not, 
but  did  unto  him  whatsoever  they  listed.     Even  so 

13  shall  the  Son  of  man  also  suffer  of  them.  Then 
understood  the  disciples  that  he  spake  unto  them  of 
John  the  Baptist. 

14  And  when  they  were  come  to  the  multitude,  there 
came  to  him  a  man,  kneeling  to  him,  and  saying.

15  Lord,  have  mercy  on  my  son;  for  he  is  lunatic,  and 
sore  vexed :  for  ofttimes  he  fiiHeth  into  the  fire,  and  oft 
into  the  water. 

16  And  I  brought  him  to  thy  disciples,  arid  they  could 
not  cure  him. 

17  Then  Jesus  answered  and  said,  O  feithless  and  perverse 
generation,  how  long  shall  I  be  with  you?  how  long  shall 
I  suffer  you?  bring  him  hither  to  me. 

18  And  Jesus  rebuked  the  devil:  and  he  departed  out  of 
him :  and  the  child  was  cured  from  that  very  hour. 

'19  Then  came  the  disciples  to  Jesus  apart,  and  said,  Why 
could  not  we  cast  him  out? 

20  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Because  of  your  unbelief: 
for  verily  I  say  unto  you,  «If  ye  have  faith  as  a  grain  of 
mustard  seed,  ye  shall  say  unto  this  mountain.  Remove 
hence  to  yonder  place ;  and  it  shall  remove :  and  nothing 
shall  be  impossible  unto  you. 

21  Howbeit,this  kind  goeth  not  out  but  by  prayerand  fasting. 

22  ^'Andwhile  they  abode inOal'i-lee,  Jesus  saiduntothem. 
The  Son  of  man  shall  be  betrayed  into  the  hands  of  men : 

23  And  they  shall  kill  him,  and  the  third  day  he  shall  be 
raised  again.     And  they  were  exceeding  sorry. 

24  ^  And  'when  they  were  come  to  Ca-per'na-um,  they  that 
received  ||  tribute  money  came  to  Pe'ter,  and  said.  Doth  not 
your  master  pay  tribute? 

25  He  saith.  Yes.  And  when  he  was  come  into  the 
house,  Jesus  prevented  him,  saying.  What  thinkest  thou, 
Si'mon?  of  whom  do  the  kings  of  the  earth  take  custom  or 
tribute?  of  their  own  children  or  of  strangers  ? 

26  Pe'ter  saith  unto  him.  Of  strangers.  Jesus  saith  unto 
him.  Then  are  the  children  free. 

27  Notwithstanding,  lest  we  should  offend  them,  go  thou 
to  the  sea,  and  cast  a  hook,  and  take  up  the  fish  that  first 
cometh  up;  and  when  thou  hast  opened  his  mouth,  thou 
shall  find  || a  piece  of  money :  that  take,  and  give  unto  them 
for  me  and  thee. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Chr*ist  teachetk  to  be  hutnble — Touching-  offences,  and  forgiving  one  another. 

AT  "the  same  time  came  the  disciples  unto  Jesus,  saying. 
Who  is  the  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  ? 

2  And  Jesus  called  a  little  child  unto  him,  and  set  him 
in  the  midst  of  them, 

3  And  said.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  'Except  ye  be  con- 
verted, and  become  as  little  children,  ye  shall  not  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

4  "Whosoever  therefore  shall  humble  himself  as  this  little 
child,  the  same  is  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

5  And  whoso  ''shall  receive  one  such  little  child  in  my 
name  receiveth  me. 

6  ''But  whoso  shall  offend  one  of  these  little  ones  which 
believe  in  me,  it  were  better  for  him  that  a  millstone  were 
hanged  about  his  neck,  and  that  he  ^vere  drowned  in  the 
depth  of  the  sea. 

7  ^Woe  unto  the  world  because  of  offences!  for  ■'it  must 
needs  be  that  offences  come ;  but  'woe  to  that  man  by  whom 
the  offence  cometh ! 

8  *Wherefore  if  thy  hand  or '  thy  foot  offend  thee,  cut 
them  off,  and  cast  thtm  from  thee :  it  is  better  for  thee  to 
enter  into  life  halt  or  maimed,  rather  than  having  two  hands 
or  two  feet  to  be  cast  into  everlasting  fire. 

9  And  if  thine  eye  offend  thee,  pluck  it  out,  and  cast  it 
from  thee :  it  is  better  for  thee  to  enter  into  life  with  one 
eye,  rather  than  having  two  eyes  to  be  cast  into  hell  fire. 

10  Take  heed  that  ye  despise  not  one  of  these  little  ones; 
for  I  say  unto  you.  That  in  heaven  'their  angels  do  always 
*behold  the  face  of  my  Father  iFhich  is  in  heaven. 

11  'For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to  save  that  which  was  lost. 

12  "How  think  ye?  if  a  man  have  a  hundred  sheep,  and 
one  of  tliem  be  gone  astray,  doth  he  not  leave  the  ninety  aaad 


1 5  Lord  have  mercy  on  «iy '  son ;  for  he  is  epileptic, 
and  Suffereth  grievously ;  for  oft-times  he  falleth  into' 

16  the  fire,  and  oft-times  into  the  water.  And  I  brought 
him  to  thy  disciples,  and  they  could  not  cure  him. 

17  And  Jesus  answered  and  said,  O  faithless  and  per- 
verse generation,  how  long  shall  I  be  with  you?  how 
long  shall  I  bear  with  j'ou  ?  bring  him  hither  to  me. 

18 And  Jesus  rebuked  him;  and  the  'devil  went  out 
from  him :  and  the  boy  was  cured  from  that  hour. 

19  Then  came  the  disciples  to  Jesus  apart,  and  said, 

20  Why  could  not  we  cast  it  out  ?  And  he  saith  unto 
them.  Because  of  your  little  faith :  for  verily  I  say 
unto  you.  If  ye  have  faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard  seed, 
ye  shall  say  unto  this  mountain,  Remove  hence  to 
yonder  place;  and  it  shall  remove;  and  nothing 
shall  be  impossible  unto  you.^ 

22  And  while  they  'abode  in  Gral'i-lee,  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  The  Son  of  man  shall  be  delivered  up  into  the 

23  hands  of  men ;  and  they  shall  kill  him,  and  the  third 
day  he  shall  be  raised  up.  And  they  were  exceed- 
ing .sorj-y. 

24  And  when  they  were  come  to  Ca-per'na-um,  they 
that  received  the  *half-shekel  came  to  Pe'ter,  and  said, 

25  Doth  not  your  'master  pay  the  *half-shekel  ?  He 
saith.  Yea.  And  when  he  came  into  the  house, 
Jesus  spake  first  to  him,  saying,  What  thinkest  thou, 
Si'mon?  the  kings  of  the  earth,  from  whom  do  they 
receive   toll  or  tribute?    from  their  sons,  or  from 

26 strangers?  And  when  he  said.  From  strangers, 
Jesus  said  unto  him.  Therefore  the  sons  are   free. 

27  But,  lest  we  cause  them  to  stumble,  go  thou  to  the 
sea,  and  cast  a  hoOk,  and  take  up  the  fish  that  first 
cometh  up ;  and  when  thou  hast  opened  his  mouth, 
thou  shalt  find  a  ^shekel :  that  take,  and  give  unto 
them  for  me  and  thee. 

J-Q  In  that  hour  came  the  disciples  unto  Jesus,  saying, 
Who  then   is  'greatest  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  ? 

2  And  he  called  to  him  a  little  child,  and  set  him  in 

3  the  midst  of  them,  and  said.  Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
Except  ye  turn,  and  become  as  little  children,  ye 
shall  in  no  wise  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

4  Whosoever  therefore  shall  humble  himself  as  this 
little  child,  the  same  iS  the  'greatest  in  the  kingdom 

6  of  heaven.     And  whoso  shall  receive  one  such  little 
6 child  in  my  name,  receiveth  me:  but  whoso  shall 

cause  one  of  these  little  ones  which  believe  on  me 
to  stumble,  it  is  profitable  for  him  that  *a  great  mill- 
stone should  be  hanged  about  his  neck,  and  that  he 

7  should  be  sunk  in  the  depth  of  the  sea.  Woe  unto 
the  world  because  of  occasions  of  stumbling !  for  it 
must  needs  be  that  the  occasions  come ;  but  woe  to 

8  that  man  through  whom  the  occasion  cometh  !  And 
if  thy  hand  or  thy  foot  causeth  thee  to  stumble,  cut 
it  off",  and  cast  it  from  thee :  it  is  good  for  thee  to 
enter  into  life  maimed  or  halt,  rather  than  having 
two  hands  or  two  feet  to  be  cast  into  the  eternal  fire. 

9  And  if  thine  eye  causeth  thee  to  stumble,  pluck  it 
out,  and  cast  it  from  thee :  it  is  good  for  thee  to  enter 
into  life  with  one  eye,  rather  than  having  two  eyes 

lOto  be  cast  into  the  'hell  of  fire.  See  that  ye  despise 
not  one  of  these  little  ones ;  for  I  say  unto  you,  that 
in  heaven  their  angels  do  always  behold  the  face  of 

12 my  Father  which  is  in  heaven.'"  How  think  ye? 
if  any  man  have  a  hundred  sheep,  and  one  of  them 
be  gone  astray,  doth  'he  not  leave  the  ninety  and  |

is  gone  astray 

13  And  if  so  be  that  he  find  it,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  he 
rejoiceth  more  of  that  sheep,  than  of  the  ninety  and  nine 
which  went  not  astray. 

14  Even  so  it  is  not  the  will  of  your  Father  which  is  in 
heaven,  that  one  of  these  little  ones  should  perish. 

15  ^Moreover  "if  thy  brother  shall  trespass  against  thee, 
go  and  tell  him  his  fault  between  thee  and  him  alone :  if 
he  shall  hear  thee,  "thou  hast  gained  thy  brother. 

16  But  if  he  will  not  hear  thee,  then  take  with  thee  one  or 
two  more,  that  in  ''the  mouth  of  two  or  three  witnesses  every 
word  may  be  established. 

1'  And  if  he  shall  neglect  to  hear  them,  tell  it  unto  the 
church:  but  if  he  neglect  to  hear  the  church,  let  him  be 
unto  thee  as  a  'heathen  man  and  a  publican. 

18  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  'Whatsoever  ye  shall  bind  on 
earth  shall  be  bound  in  heaven ;  and  whatsoever  ye  shall 
loose  on  earth  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven. 

19  'Again  I  say  unto  you.  That  if  two  of  you  shall  agree 
on  earth  as  touching  any  thing  that  they  shall  ask,  'it  shall 
be  done  for  them  of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

20  For  where  two  or  three  are  gathered  together  in  my 
name,  there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them. 

21  51  Then  came  Pe'ter  to  him,  and  said,  Lord,  how  oft 
shall  my  brother  sin  against  me,  and  I  forgive  him  ?  "till 
seven  times? 

22  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  say  not  unto  thee,  Until  seven 
times:  ''but.  Until  seventy  times  seven. 

23  ^Therefore  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven  likened  unto  a 
certain  king,  which  would  take  account  of  his  servants. 

24  And  when  he  had  begun  to  reckon,  one  was  brought 
unto  him,  which  owed  him  ten  thousand  ||  talents. 

25  But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not  to  pay,  his  lord  com- 
manded him  "to  be  sold,  and  his  wife  and  children,  and  all 
that  he  had,  and  payment  to  be  made. 

26  The  servant  therefore  fell  down,  and  ||  worshipped  him, 
saying,  Lord,  have  patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay  thee  all. 

27  Then  the  lord  of  that  servant  was  moved  with  com- 
passion, and  loosed  him,  and  forgave  him  the  debt. 

28  But  the  same  servant  went  out,  and  found  one  of  his 
fellow  servants,  which  owed  him  a  hundred  || pence:  and  he 
laid  hands  on  him,  and  took  him  by  the  throat,  saying.  Pay 
me  that  thou  owest. 

29  And  his  fellow  servant  fell  down  at  his  feet,  and  besought 
him,  saying.  Have  patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay  thee  all. 

30  And  he  would  not :  but  went  and  cast  him  into  prison, 
till  he  should  pay  the  debt. 

31  So  when  his  fellow  servants  saw  what  was  done,  they 
were  very  sorry,  and  came  and  told  unto  their  lord  all  that 
was  done. 

32  Then  his  lord,  after  that  he  had  called  him,  said  unto 
him,  O  thou  wicked  servant,  I  forgave  thee  all  that  debt, 
because  thou  desiredst  me : 

33  Shouldest  not  thou  also  have  had  compassion  on  thy 
fellow  servant,  even  as  I  had  pity  on  thee? 

34  And  his  lord  was  wroth,  and  delivered  him  to  the 
tormentors,  till  he  should  pay  all  that  was  due  unto  him. 

35  "So  likewise  shall  my  heavenly  Father  do  also  unto  you, 
if  ye  from  your  hearts  forgive  not  every  one  his  brother 
their  trespasses.

AND  it  came  to  pass,  Hhat  when  Jesus  had  finished  these 
sayings,  he  departed  from  Gal'i-lee,  and  came  into  the 
coasts  of  Ju-de'a,  beyond  Jor'dan ; 

2  ""And  great  multitudes  followed  him ;  and  he  healed  them 
there. 

3  ^The  Phar'i-sees  also  came  unto  him,  tempting  him, 


nine,  and  go    unto  the  mountains,  and  seek  that 

13  which  goeth  astray  ?  And  if  so  be  that  he  find  it, 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  he  rejoiceth  over  it  more  than 
over  the  ninety  and   nine  which   have    not    gone 

14  astray.  Even  so  it  is  not  'the  will  of  ^your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven,  that  one  of  these  little  ones 
should  perish. 

15  And  if  thy  brother  sin  'against  thee,  go,  shew  him 
his  fault  between  thee  and  him  alone:   if  he  hear 

16  thee,  thou  hast  gained  thy  brother.  But  if  he  hear 
thee  not,  take  with  thee  one  or  two  more,  that  at  the 
mouth  of  two  witnesses  or  three  every  word  may  be 

17  established.  And  if  he  refuse  to  hear  them,  tell  it 
unto  the  'church :  and  if  he  refuse  to  hear  the  'church 
also,  let  him  be  unto  thee  as  the  Gentile  and  the 

18  publican.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  What  things  soever 
ye  shall    bind  on  earth  shall  be  bound  in  heaven 
and  what  things  soever  ye  shall  loose  on  earth  shall  be 

19  loosed  in  heaven.  Again  I  say  unto  you,  that  if  two 
of  you  shall  agree  on  earth  as  touching  anything 
that  they  shall  ask,  it  shall  be  done  for  them  of  my 

20  Father  which  is  in  heaven.  For  where  two  or  three 
are  gathered  together  in  my  name,  there  am  I  in  the 
midst  of  them. 

21  Then  came  Pe'ter,  and  said  to  him.  Lord,  how  oft 
shall  my  brother  sin  against  me,  and  I  forgive  him? 

22  until  seven  times  ?  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  say  not 
unto  thee,  Until  seven  times;    but.    Until  'seventy 

23  times  seven.  Therefore  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
likened  unto   a  certain  king,  which   would  make  a 

24  reckoning  with  his  ^servants.  And  when  he  had 
begun  to  reckon,  one  was  brought  unto  him,  which 

25  owed  him  ten  thousand  'talents.  But  forasmuch  as 
he  had  not  wherewith  to  pay,  his  lord  commanded 
him  to  be  sold,  and  his  wife  and  children,  and  all 

26  that  he  had,  and  payment  to  be  made.  The  "servant 
therefore  fell  down  and  worshipped  him,  saying.  Lord, 

27  have  patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay  thee  all.  And 
the  lord  of  that  'servant,  being  moved  with  comms- 

28sion,  released  him,  and  forgave  him  the  'debt.  But 
that  'servant  went  out,  and  found  one  of  his  fellow- 
servants,  which  owed  him  a  hundred  '"pence :  and  he 
laid  hold  on  him,  and  took  him  by  the  throat,  saying, 

29  Pay  what  thou  owest.  So  his  fellow-servant  fell  down 
and  besought  him,  saying,  Have  patience  with  me, 

30 and  I  will  pay  thee.  And  he  would  not:  but  went 
and  cast  him  into  prison,  till  he  should  pay  that  which 

31  was  due.  So  when  his  fellow-servants  saw  what  was 
done,  they  were  exceeding  sorry,  and  came  and  told 

32  unto  their  lord  all  that  was  done.  Then  his  lord 
called  him  unto  him,  and  saith  to  him.  Thou  wicked 
'servant,  I  forgave  thee  all  that  debt,  because  thou 

33  besoughtest  me :  shouldest  not  thou  also  have  had 
mercy  on  thy  fellow-servant,  even  as  I  had  mercy  on 

34  thee?  And  his  lord  was  wroth,  and  delivered  him 
to  the  tormentors,  till  he  should  pay  all  that  was 

35  due.  So  shall  also  my  heavenly  Father  do  unto 
you,  if  ye  forgive  not  every  one  his  brother  from 
your  hearts.

and  saying  unto  him,  Is  it  lawful  for  a  man  to  put  away  his 
wife  for  every  cause  ? 

4  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Have  ye  not  read, 
''that  he  which  made  them  at  the  beginning  made  them  male 
and  female, 

5  And  said,  "Tor  this  cause  shall  a  man  leave  father  and 
mother,  and  shall  cleave  to  his  wife :  and  *they  twain  shall 
be  one  flesh? 

6  Wherefore  they  are  no  more  twain,  but  one  flesh.  What 
•therefore  God  hath  joined  together,  let  not  man  put  asunder. 

7  They  say  unto  him,  -^Why  did  Mo'ses  then  command  to 
give  a  writing  of  divorcement,  and  to  put  her  away? 

8  He  saith  unto  them,  Mo'ses  because  of  the  hardness  of 
your  hearts  suffered  you  to  put  away  your  wives  :  but  from 
the  beginning  it  was  not  so. 

9  "And  I  say  unto  you.  Whosoever  shall  put  away  his 
wife,  except  it  be  for  foruication,  and  shall  marry  another, 
committeth  adultery :  and  whoso  marrieth  her  which  is  put 
away  doth  commit  adultery. 

10  IJHis  disciples  say  unto  him,  *If  the  case  of  the  man  be 
so  with  his  wife,  it  is  not  good  to  many. 

11  But  he  said  unto  them,  'All  vien  cannot  receive  this 
saying,  save  they  to  whom  it  is  given. 

12  For  there  are  some  eunuchs,  which  were  so  born  from 
their  mother's  womb:  and  there  are  some  eunuchs,  which 
were  made  eunuchs  of  men :  and  *there  be  eunuchs,  which 
have  made  themselves  eunuchs  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven's 
sake.     He  that  is  able  to  receive  it,  let  him  receive  it. 

13  ^'Then  were  there  brought  unto  him  little  children, 
that  he  should  put  his  hands  on  them,  and  pray:  and  the 
disciples  rebuked  them. 

14  But  Jesus  said.  Suffer  little  children,  and  forbid  them  not, 
to  come  unto  me ;  for  "'of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

15  And  he  laid  his  hands  on  them,  and  departed  thence. 

16  ^"And,  behold,  one  came  and  said  unto  him,  "Good 
Master,  what  good  thing  shall  I  do,  that  I  may  have  eter- 
nal life? 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  Why  callest  thou  me  good? 
there  is  none  good  but  one,  that  is,  God :  but  if  thou  wilt 
enter  into  life,  keep  the  commandments. 

18  He  saith  unto  him.  Which?  Jesus  said,  "Thou  shalt  do 
no  murder.  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery,  Thou  shalt  not 
steal,  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness, 

19  'Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother:  and,  ''Thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 

20  The  young  man  saith  unto  him.  All  these  things  have 
I  kept  from  my  youth  up:  what  lack  I  yet? 

21  Jesus  said  unto  him.  If  thou  wilt  be  perfect,  'go  and 
sell  that  thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt 
have  treasure  in  heaven :  and  come  and  follow  me. 

22  But  when  the  young  man  heard  that  saying,  he  went 
away  sorrowful :  for  he  had  great  possessions. 

23  IJThen  said  Jesus  unto  his  disciples.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you.  That  'a  rich  man  shall  hardly  enter  into  the  kingdom 
of  heaven. 

24  And  again  I  say  unto  you,  It  is  easier  for  a  camel  to  go 
through  the  eye  of  a  needle,  than  for  a  rich  man  to  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

25  When  his  disciples  heard  it,  they  were  exceedingly 
amazed,  saying.  Who  then  can  be  saved  ? 

26  But  Jesus  beheld  them,  and  said  unto  them.  With  men 
this  is  impossible;  but  "with  God  all  things  are  possible. 

27  ^"'Then  answered  Pe'ter  and  said  unto  him.  Behold, 
"we  have  forsaken  all,  and  followed  thee ;  what  shall  we  have 
therefore  ? 

28  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  That 
ye  which  have  followed  me,  in  the  regeneration  when  the  Son

and  saying.  Is  it  lawful  for  a  man  to  put  away  his 

4  wife  for  every  cause  ?  And  he  answered  and  said, 
Have  ye  not  read,  that  he  which   'made   them  from 

5  the  beginning  made  them  male  and  female,  and  said, 
For  this  cause  shall  a  man  leave  his  father  and 
mother,  and  shall  cleave  to  his  wife;  and  the  twain 

6  shall  become  one  flesh  ?  So  that  they  are  no  more 
twain,  but  one  flesh.    What  therefore  God  hath  joined 

7  together,  let  not  man  put  asunder.  They  say  unto 
him.  Why  then  did  Mo'ses  command  to  give  a  bill 

8  of  divorcement,  and  to  put  her  away  ?  He  saith 
unto  them,  Mo'ses  for  your  hardness  of  heart  suffered 
you  to  put  away  your  wives:  but  from  the  beginning 

9  it  hath  not  been  so.  And  I  say  unto  you.  Whoso- 
ever shall  put  away  his  wife,  ^except  for  fornication, 
and  shall  marry  another,  committeth  adultery:  ^and 
he  that  marrieth  her  when  she  is  put   away    com 

lOmitteth  adultery.  The  disciples  say  unto  him.  If  the 
case  of  the  man  is  so  with  his  wife,  it  is  not  expedient 

11  to  marry.  But  he  said  unto  them,  All  men  cannot 
receive  this  saying,  but  they  to  whom  it  is  given 

12  For  there  are  eunuchs,  which  were  so  born  from 
their  mother's  womb :  and  there  are  eunuchs,  which 
were  made  eunuchs  by  men :  and  there  are  eunuchs, 
which  made  themselves  eunuchs  for  the  kingdom  of 
heaven's  sake.  He  that  is  able  to  receive  it,  let  him 
receive  it. 

13  Then  were  there  brought  unto  him  little  children 
that  he  should  lay  his   hands    on   them,   and   pray 

14  and  the  disciples  rebuked  them.  But  Jesus  said. 
Suffer  the  little  children,  and  forbid  them  not,  to 
come  unto   me :    for  of    such  is  the    kingdom    of 

15  heaven.  And  he  laid  his  hands  on  them,  and  de- 
parted thence. 

16  And  behold,  one  came  to  him  and  said,  * 'Master, 
what  good  thing  shall  I  do,  that  I  may  have  eternal 

17 life?  And  he  said  unto  him,  'Why  askest  thou  me 
concerning  that  which  is  good?  One  there  is  who 
is  good :  but  if  thou  wouldest  enter  into  life,  keep 

18 the  commandments.  He  saith  unto  him.  Which? 
And  Jesus  said.  Thou  shalt  not  kill.  Thou  shalt  not 
commit  adultery,  Thou  shalt  not  steal,  Thou  shalt 

19  not  bear  false  witness,  Honour  thy  father  and  thy 
mother:  and.   Thou    shalt    love    thy   neighbour   as 

20  thyself.     The  young  man  saith  unto  him,  All  these 

21  things  have  I  observed:  what  lack  I  yet?  Jesus 
said  unto  him.  If  thou  wouldest  be  perfect,  go,  sell 
that  thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt 

22  have  treasure  in  heaven :  and  come,  follow  me.  But 
when  the  young  man  heard  the  saying,  he  went 
away  sorrowful:  for  he  was  one  that  had  great 
possessions. 

23  And  Jesus  said  unto  his  disciples,  Verily  I  say 
unto  you.  It  is  hard  for  a  rich  man  to  enter  into  the 

24  kingdom  of  heaven.  And  again  I  say  unto  you. 
It  is  easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through  a  needle's  eye, 
than  for  a  rich  man   to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 

25  God.  And  when  the  disciples  heard  it,  they  were 
astonished  exceedingly,  saying,    Who  then   can    be 

26 saved?  And  Jesus  looking  upon  them  said  to  them, 
With  men    this    is    impossible;   but    with    God   all 

27  things  are  possible.  Then  answered  Pe'ter  and  said 
unto  him,  Lo,  we  have  left  all,  and  followed  thee; 

28  what  then  shall  we  have?  And  Jesus  .said  unto  them. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  ye  which  have  followed 
me,  in  the  regeneration  when  the  Son  of  man  shall 
sit  on  the  throne  of  his  glory,  ye  also  shall  sit  upon 
twelve  thrones,  judging  the  twelve  tribes  of  Is'ra-el.

CHAPTER    XX. 

Of  the  labourers  in  the  vineyard. 

FOR  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that  is  a 
householder,  which  went  out  early  in  the  morning  to 
hire  labourers  into  his  vineyard. 

2  And  when  he  had  agreed  with  the  labourers  for  a  ||  penny 
a  day,  he  sent  them  into  his  vineyard. 

3  And  he  went  out  about  the  third  hour,  and  saw  others 
standing  idle  in  the  marketplace, 

4  And  said  unto  them.  Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard ;  and 
whatsoever  is  right  I  will  give  you.    And  they  went  their  way. 

5  Again  he  went  out  about  the  sixth  and  ninth  hour,  and 
did  likewise. 

6  And  about  the  eleventh  hour  he  went  out,  and  found 
others  standing  idle,  and  saith  unto  them,  Why  stand  ye 
here  all  the  day  idle? 

7  They  say  unto  him,  Because  no  man  hath  hired  us. 
He  saith  unto  them.  Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard ;  and 
whatsoever  is  right,  that  shall  ye  receive. 

8  So  when  even  was  come,  the  lord  of  the  vineyard  saith 
unto  his  steward.  Call  the  labourers,  and  give  them  their 
hire,  beginning  from  the  last  unto  the  first. 

9  And  when  they  came  that  were  hired  about  the  eleventh 
hour,  they  received  every  man  a  penny. 

10  But  when  the  first  came,  they  supposed  that  they  should 
have  received  more :  and  they  likewise  received  every  man 
a  penny. 

11  And  when  they  had  received  it,  they  murmured  against 
the  goodman  of  the  house, 

12  Saying,  These  last  ||have  wrought  but  one  hour,  and 
thou  hast  made  them  equal  unto  us,  which  have  borne  the 
burden  and  heat  of  the  day. 

13  But  he  answered  one  of  them,  and  said,  Friend,  I  do 
thee  no  wrong  :  didst  .not  thou  agree  with  me  for  a  penny  ? 

14  Take  that  thine  is,  and  go  thy  way:  I  will  give  unto 
this  last,  even  as  unto  thee. 

15  "Is  it  not  lawful  for  me  to  do  what  I  will  with  mine 
own  ?  'Is  thine  eye  evil,  because  I  am  good  ? 

16  "^So  the  last  shall  be  first,  and  the  first  last :  ''for  many 
be  called,  but  few  chosen. 

17  ^"And  Jesus  going  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  took  the  twelve 
disciples  apart  in  the  way,  and  said  unto  them, 

18  ■''Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  the  Son  of  man 
shall  be  betrayed  unto  the  chief  priests  and  unto  the  scribes, 
and  they  shall  condemn  him  to  death, 

19  "And  shall  deliver  him  to  the  Gentiles  to  mock,  and  to 
scourge, and  to  crucify  him:  andthe  third  day  he  shall  rise  again. 

20  ^[''Then  came  to  him  the  mother  of  'Zeb'e-dee's  chil- 
dren, with  her  sons,  worshipping  him,  and  desiring  a  certain 
thing  of  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  her,  What  wilt  thou?  She  saith 
unto  him.  Grant  that  these  my  two  sons  *raay  sit,  the  one 
on  thy  right  hand,  and  the  other  on  the  left,  in  thy  kingdom. 

22  But  Jesus  answered  and  said.  Ye  know  not  what  ye 
ask.  Are  ye  able  to  drink  of  'the  cup  that  I  shall  drink  of, 
and  to  be  baptized  with  ""the  baptism  that  I  am  baptized 
with  ?     They  say  unto  him.  We  are  able. 

23  And  he  saith  unto  them,"Ye  shall  drink  indeed  of  my  cup, 
and  be  bajjtized  with  the  baptism  that  I  am  baptized  with  :  but 
to  sit  on  my  right  hand,  and  on  my  left,  is  not  mine  to  "give,  but 
it  shall  be  given  to  them  for  whom  it  is  prepared  of  my  Father. 

24  ''And  when  the  ten  heard  it,  they  were  moved  with  in- 
dignation against  the  two  brethren. 


29  And  every  one  that  hath  left  houses,  or  brethren, 
or  sisters,  or  father,  or  mother,  'or  children,  or 
lands,   for    my    name's  sake,   shall  receive    %  hun- 

30dredfold,  and  shall  inherit  eternal  life.  But  many 
shall  be    last  that  are  first;    and  first  that  are  la.st. 

OQ  For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that 
is  a  householder,  which    went    out   early    in    the 

2  morning  to  hire  labourers  into  his  vineyard.  And 
when  he  had  agreed  with  the  labourers  for  a  'penny 

3  a  day,  he  sent  them  into  his  vineyard.  And  he 
went  out  about  the  third  hour,  and  saw  others  stand 

4ing  in  the  marketplace  idle;  and  to  them  he  said, 
Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard,  and  whatsoever  is 
right  I  will  give  you.     And  they  went  their  way. 

5  Again  he  went   out   about  the  sixth  and  the  ninth 

6  hour,  and  did  likewise.  And  about  the  eleventh 
hour  he  went  out  and  found  others  standing;  and 
he  saith  unto  them.  Why  stand  ye  here  all  the  day 

7 idle?  They  say  unto  him.  Because  no  man  hath 
hired  us.     He  saith  unto  them.  Go  ye  also  into  the 

8  vineyard.  And  when  even  was  come,  the  lord  of  the 
vineyard  said  unto  his  steward.  Call  the  labourers, 
and  pay  them    their    hire,  beginning  from  the  last 

9  unto  the  first.  And  when  they  came  that  were 
hired  about  the  eleventh  hour,  they  received  every 

10  man  a  'penny.  And  when  the  first  came,  they  sup- 
posed that  they  would  receive  more ;  and  they  like- 

11  wise  received  every  man  a  'penny.  And  when  they 
received  it,  they  murmured  against  the  householder, 

12  saying.  These  last  have  spent  but  one  hour,  and 
thou  hast  made  them  equal  unto  us,  which  have 
borne  the  burden  of  the  day  and  the  ^scorching  heat. 

13  But  he  answered  and  said  to  one  of  them.  Friend, 
I  do  thee  no  wrong :  didst  not  thou  agree  with  me 

14 for  a  'penny?  Take  up  that  which  is  thine,  and  go 
thy   way ;  it  is  my  will  to  give  unto  this  last,  even 

15  as  unto  thee.  Is  it  not  lawful  for  me  to  do  what  I 
will  with  mine  own  ?  or  is  thine  eye  evil,  because  I 

16am  good?  So  the  last  shall  be  first,  and  the  first 
last. 

17  And  as  Jesus  was  going  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  he  took 
the  twelve  disciples  apart,  and  in  the  way  he  said 

18  unto  them.  Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lera ;  and  the 
Son  of  man  shall  be  delivered  unto  the  chief  priests 
and  scribes;  and  they  shall  condemn  him  to  death, 

19  and  shall  deliver  him  unto  the  Gentiles  to  mock,  and 
to  scourge,  and  to  crucify:  and  the  third  day  he 
shall  be  raised  up. 

20  Then  came  to  him  the  mother  of  the  sons  of  Zeb'- 
e-dee  with  her  sons,  worshipping  him,  and  asking 

21a  certain  thing  of  him.  And  he  said  unto  her, 
What  wouldest  thou?  She  saith  unto  him.  Com- 
mand that  these  my  two  sons  may  sit,  one  on  thy 
right  hand,  and  one  on  thy  left  hand,  in  thy  king- 

22  dom.  But  Jesus  answered  and  said.  Ye  know  not 
what  ye  ask.  Are  ye  able  to  drink  the  cup  that 
I  am   about  to  drink?     They    say    unto   him.  We 

23  are  able.  He  saith  unto  them.  My  cup  indeed  ye 
shall  drink:  but  to  sit  on  my  right  hand,  and  on 
my  left  hand,  is  not  mine  to  give,  but  it  is  for 
them  for  whom   it  hath  been  prepared  of  my  Fa- 

24ther.  And  when  the  ten  heard  it,  they  were 
moved  with  indignation  concerning  the  two  brethren.]

25  But  Jesus  called  them  unto  him,  and  said,  Ye  know 
that  the  princes  of  the  Gentiles  exercise  dominion  over  them, 
and  they  that  are  great  exercise  authority  upon  them. 

26  But  'it  shall  not  be  so  among  you :  but  "^ whosoever  will 
be  great  among  you,  let  him  be  your  minister ; 

27  "And  whosoever  will  be  chief  among  you,  let  him  be 
your  servant : 

28  'Even  as  the  "Son  of  man  came  not  to  be  ministered  unto, 
^but  to  minister,  and  "to  give  his  life  a  ransom  'for  many. 

29  "And  as  they  departed  from  Jer'i-cho,  a  great  multitude, 
followed  him. 

30  *[[And,  behold,  'two  blind  men  sitting  by  the  way  side, 
when  they  heard  that  Jesus  passed  by,  cried  out,  saying, 
Have  mercy  on  us,  O  Lord,  thou  son  of  Da'vid. 

31  And  the  multitude  rebuked  them,  because  they  should 
hold  their  peace :  but  they  cried  the  more,  saying.  Have 
mercy  on  us,  O  Lord,  thou  son  of  Da'vid. 

32  And  Jesus  stood  still,  and  called  them,  and  said.  What 
will  ye  that  I  shall  do  unto  you? 

33  They  say  unto  him.  Lord,  that  our  eyes  may  be  opened. 

34  So  Jesus  had  compassion  on  them,  and  touched  their 
eyes:  and  immediately  their  eyes  received  sight,  and  they 
followed  him. 

CHAPTER    XXI. 

Christ^s  entry  into  Jerusalem. 

AND  "when  they  drew  nigh  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  were 
come  to  Beth'pha-ge,  unto  Hhe  mount  of  Olives,  then 
sent  Jesus  two  disciples, 

2  Saying  unto  them.  Go  into  the  village  over  against  you, 
and  straightway  ye  shall  find  an  ass  tied,  and  a  colt  with 
her :  loose  them,  and  bring  them  unto  me. 

3  And  if  any  man  say  aught  unto  you,  ye  shall  say,  The 
Lord  hath  need  of  them ;  and  straightway  he  will  send  them. 

4  All  this  was  done,  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophet,  saying, 

5  "Tell  ye  the  daughter  of  Si'on,  Behold,  thy  King  cometh 
unto  thee,  meek,  and  sitting  upon  an  ass,  and  a  colt  the  foal 
of  an  ass. 

6  ""And  the  disciples  went,and  did  as  Jesus  commanded  them, 

7  And  brought  the  ass,  and  the  colt,  and  'put  on  them 
their  clothes,  and  they  set  him  thereon. 

8  And  a  very  great  multitude  spread  their  garments  in  the 
way ;  -^others  cut  down  branches  from  the  trees,  and  strewed 
them  in  the  way. 

9  And  the  multitudes  that  went  before,  and  that  followed', 
cried,  saying,  "Hosanna  to  the  Son  of  Da'vid  :  ''Blessed  is  he 
that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord;  Hosanna  in  the  highest. 

10  'And  when  he  was  come  into  Je-ru'salemy  all  the  city 
was  moved,  saying,  Who  is  this  ? 

11  And  the,  multitude  said.  This  is  Jesus  *the  prophet  of 
Naz'a-reth  of  Gal'i-lee. 

12  ^'And  Jesus  went  into  the  temple  of  God,  and  cast  out 
all  them  that  sold  and  bought  in  the  temple,  and  overthrew 
the  tables  of  the  "money  changers,  and  the  seats  of  them 
that  sold  doves, 

13  And  said  unto  them.  It  is  written,  "My  house  shall  be 
called  the  house  of  prayer;  "but  ye  have  made  it  a  den  of 
thieves. 

14  And  the.  blind  and  the  lame  came  to  him  in  the  temple; 
and  he  healed  them. 

15  And  when  the  chief  priests  and  scribes  saw  the  wonder- 
ful things  that  he  did,  and  the  children  crying  in  the  temple, 
and  saying,  Hosanna  to  the  Son  of  Da'vid ;  they  were  sore 
displeased, 

16  And  said  unto  him,  Hearest  thou  what  the.se  say?  And 
Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Yea;  have  ye  never  read,  "Out  of  the 
mouth  of  babes  and  sucklings  thou  hast  perfected  praise? 

17  ^And  he  left  them,  and  went  out  of  the  city  into 
«Beth'a-ny;  and  he  lodged  there. 


25  But  Jesus  called  them  unto  him,  and  said.  Ye  know 
that  the  rulers  of  the  Gentiles  lord  it  over  them,  and 

26  their  great  ones  exercise  authority  over  them.  Not 
so  shall  it  be  among  you :  but  whosoever  would  be- 

27 come  great  among  you  shall  be  your  'minister;  and 
whosoever  would  be  first  among  you  shall  be  your 

28  ^servant :  even  as  the  Son  of  man  came  not  to  be 
ministered  unto,  but  to  minister,  and  to  give  his  life 
a  ransom  for  many. 

29  And  as  they  went  out  from  Jer'i-cho,  a  great  mul- 
30titude  followed  him.     And  behold,  two  blind  men 

sitting  by  the  way  side,  when  they  heard  that  Jesus 
was  passing  by,  cried  out,  saying.  Lord,  have  mercy 

31  on  us,  thou  son  of  Da'vid.     And  the  multitude  re 
buked  them,  that  they  should  hold  their  peace :  but 
they  cried  out  the  more,  saying.  Lord,  have  mercy 

32  on  us,  thou  son  of  Da'vid.  And  Jesus  stood  still, 
and    called    them,   and    said.   What    will    ye    that 

331    should    do    unto    you?     They    say    unto    him 
34  Lord,  that  our  eyes  may  be  opened.     And  Jesus, 
being  moved  with  compassion,  touched  their  eyes: 
and  straightway  they  received  their  sight,  and  fol 
lowed  him. 

'^i  And  when  they  drew  nigh  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
came  unto  Beth'pha-ge,  unto  the  mount  of  Olives, 

2  then  Jesus  sent  two  disciples,  saying  unto  them,  Go 
into  the  village  that  is  over  against  you,  and  straight- 
way ye  shall  find  an  ass  tied,  and  a  colt  with  her: 

3  loose  them,  and  bring  them  unto  me.  And  if  any 
one  say  aught  unto  you,  ye  shall  say.  The  Lord 
hath  need  of  them;  and   straightway   he   will   send 

4  them.  Now  this  is  come  to  pass,  that  it  might  be 
fulfilled  which  was  spoken  'by  the  prophet,  saying, 

5  Tell  ye  the  daughter  of  Zi'on, 
Behold,  thy  King  cometh  unto  thee, 
Meek,  and  riding  upon  an  ass. 

And  upon  a  colt  the  foal  of  an  ass. 

6  And  the  disciples  went,  and   did  even  as  Jesus  ap- 

7  pointed  them,  and  brought  the  ass,  and  the  colt,  and 
put  on  them  their  garments;   and  he  sat  thereon. 

8  And  the  most  part  of  the  multitude  spread  their 
garments  in  the  way ;  and  others  cut  branches  from 

9  the  trees,  and  spread  them  in  the  way.  And  the 
multitudes  that  went  before  him,  and  that  followed, 
cried,  saying,  Hosanna  to  the  son  of  Da'vid :  Blessed 
is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord ;  Hosanna 

lOin  the  highest.     And  when  he  was  come  into  Je-ru 
sa-lem,  all  the  city  was  stirred,  saying.  Who  is  this? 

11  And  the  multitudes  .said.  This  is  the  prophet,  Jesus, 
from  Naz'a-reth  of  Gal'i-lee. 

12  And  Jesus  entered  into  the  temple  ^of  God,  and 
cast  out  all  them  that  sold  and  bought  in  the  temple, 
and  overthrew  the  tables  of  the  money-changers, 

13 and  the  seats  of  them  that  sold  the  doves;  and  he 
saith  unto  them.  It  is  written.  My  house  shall  be 
called  a  house  of  prayer :  but  ye  make  it  a  den  of 

14  robbers.     And  the  blind  and  the  lame  came  to  him 

15in  the  temple:  and  he  healed  them.  But  when  the 
chief  priests  and  the  scribes  saw  the  wonderful  things 
that  he  did,  and  the  children  that  were  crying  in  the 
temple  and  saying,  Hosanna  to  the  son  of  Da'vid; 

16  they  were  moved  with  indignation,  and  said  unto 
him,  Hearest  thou  what  these  are  saying?  And 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Yea :  did  ye  never  read,  Out 
of  the  mouth  of  babes  and  sucklings  thou  hast  per- 

17fected  praise?  And  he  left  them,  and  went  forth 
out  of  the  city  to  Beth'a-ny,  and  lodged  there.

18  •'Now  in  the  morning,  as  he  returned  into  the  city,  he 
hungered. 

19  'And  when  he  saw  a  ffig  tree  in  the  way,  he  came  to  it, 
and  found  nothing  thereon,  but  leaves  only,  and  said  unto 
it,  Let  no  fruit  grow  on  thee  ■  henceforward  for  ever. 
And  presently  the  fig  tree  withered  away. 

20  'And  when  the  disciples  saw  it,  they  marveled,  saying. 
How  soon  is  the  fig  tree  withered  away  ! 

21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  "If  ye  have  faith,  and  ""doubt  not,  ye  shall  not  only  do 
this  which  is  done  to  the  fig  tree,  "bat  also  if  ye  shall  say 
unto  this  mountain,  Be  thou  removed,  and  be  thou  cast 
into  the  sea ;  it  shall  be  done. 

22  And  "all  things,  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  prayer,  be- 
lieving, ye  shall  receive. 

23  ^"And  when  he  was  come  into  the  templcj,  the  chief 
priests  and  the  elders  of  the^  people  came  unto  him  as  he 
was  teaching,  and  'said,  By  what  authority  doest  thou  these 
things  ?  and  who  gave  thee  this  authority  ? 

24  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I  also  will  ask 
you  one  thing,  which  if  ye  tell  me,  I  in  like  wise  will  tell  you 
by  what  authority  I  do  these  things. 

25  The  baptism  of  John,  whence  was  it  ?  from  heaven,  or 
of  men?  And  they  reasoned  with  themselves,  saying.  If 
we  shall  say.  From  heaven ;  he  will  say  unto  us,  Why  did 
ye  not  then  believe  him? 

26  But  if  we  shall  say,  Of  men  ;  we  fear  the  people ;  ""for 
all  hold  John  as  a  prophet. 

27  And  they  answered  Jesus,  and  said.  We  cannot  tell. 
And  he  said  unto  them.  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what  author- 
ity I  do  these  things. 

28  ^But  what  think  ye  ?  A  certain  man  had  two  sons  ; 
and  he  came  to  the  first,  and  said,  Son,  go  work  to-day  in 
my  vineyard. 

29  He  answered  and  said,  I  will  not;  but  afterward  he 
repented,  and  went. 

30  And  he  came  to  the  second,  and  said  likewise.  And 
he  answered  and  said,  I  go,  sir ;  and  went  not. 

31  Whether  of  them  twain  did  the  will  of  his  father? 
They  say  unto  him.  The    first.     Jesus    saith  unto   them. 

Verily  I  say  unto  you,  That  the  publicajQS  and  harlots  go 
into  the  kingdom  of  God  before  you. 

32  For  •''John  came  unto  you  in  the  way  of  righteousness, 
and  ye  believed  him  not;  "but  the  publicans  and  the  har- 
lots believed  him :  and  ye,  when  ye  had  seen  it,  repented 
not  afterward,  that  ye  might  believe  him. 

33  ^Hear  another  parable:  There  was  a  certain  house- 
holder, ''which  planted  a  vineyard,  and  hedged  it  round 
about,  and  digged  a  winepress  in  it,  and  built  a. tower,  and 
let  it  out  to  husbandmen,  and  'went  into  a  fer  country: 

34  And  when  the  time  of  the  fruit  drew  near,  he  sent  his  serv- 
ants to  the  husbandmen,*that  they  might  receive  the  fruits  of  it. 

35  'And  the  husbandmen  took  his  servants,  and  beat  one, 
and  killed  another,  and  stoned  another. 

36  Again,  he  sent  other  servants  more  than  the  first :  and 
they  did  unto  them  likewise. 

37  But  last  of  all  he  sent  unto  them  his  son,  saying.  They 
will  reverence  my  son. 

38  But  when  the  husbandmen  saw  the  soo,  they  said 
among  them.selves,  ""This  is  the  heir;  "come,  let  us  kill  him, 
and  let  us  seize  on  his  inheritance. 

39  °And  they  caught  him,  and  cast  him  out  of  the  vine- 
yard, and  slew  him. 

40  AVhen  the  lord  therefore  of  the  vineyard  cometh,  what 
will  he  do  unto  those  husbandmen? 

41  "They  say  unto  him,  'He  will  miserably  destroy  those 
wicked  men,  ''and  will  let  out  his  vineyard  unto  other  hus- 
bandmen, which  shall  render  him  the  fruit&  in  their  seasons. 

42  Jesus  saith  unto  them,''Did  ye  never  read  in  thescriptures, 


18  Now  in  the  morning  as  he  returned  to  the  city,  he 

19  hungered.  And  seeing  'a  fig  tree  by  the  way  side, 
he  came  to  it,  and  found  nothing  thereon,  but  leaves 
only ;  and  he  saith  unto  it.  Let  there  be  no  fruit 
from  thee  henceforward  forever.     And  immediately 

20  the  fig  tree  withered  away.  And  when  the  disciples 
saw  it,  they  marvelled,  saying.  How  did  the  fig  tree 

21  immediately  wither  away?  And  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  If  ye 
have  faith,  and  doubt  not,  ye  shall  not  only  do  what 
is  done  to  the  fig  tree,  but  even  if  ye  shall  say  unto 
thi«  mountain.  Be  thou  taken  up  and  cast  into  the 

22  sea,  it  shall  be  done.  And  all  things,  whatsoever  ye 
shall  ask  in  prayer,  believing,  ye  shall  receive. 

23  And  when  he  was  come  into  the  temple,  the  chief 
priests  and  the  elders  of  the  people  came  unto,  him 
as  he  was  teaching,  and  said,  By  what  authority 
doest  thou  these  things?  and  who  gave  thee  this 

24 authority?  And  .Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I  also  will  ask  you  one  ^question,  which  if  ye 
tell  mC)  I  likewise  will  tell  you  by  wha*  authority  I 

25  do  these  things.  The  baptism  of  John,  whence  was 
it  ?  from  heaven  or  from  men  ?  And  they  reasoned 
with  themselves,  saying.  If  we  shall  say.  From 
heaven ;  he  will  say  unto  us,  Why  then  did  ye  not 

26 believe  him?  But  if  we  shall  say.  From  men;  we 
fear  the  multitude;  for  ail  hold  John  as  a  prophet. 

27  And  they  answered  Jesus,  and  said.  We  know  not. 
He  also  said  unto  them,  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what 

28 authority  I  do  the.se  things.  But  what  think  ye? 
A  man  had  two  sons;  and  he  came  to  the  first,  and 

29  said,  ^Son,  go  work  to-day  in  the  vineyard.  And 
he  answeifed  and  said,  I  will  not:  but  afterward  he 

30  repented  himself,  and  went.  And  he  came  to  the 
second,  and  said  likewise.      And   he  answered  and 

31  said,  I  go,  sir :  and  went  not.  Whether  of  the  twain 
did  the  will  of  his  father?  They  say.  The  first. 
Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that 
the  publicans  and  the  harlots  go  into  the   kingdom 

32  of  God  before  you.  For  John  came  unto  you  in  the 
way  of  righteousness,  and  ye  believed  him  not :  but 
the  publicans  and  the  harlots  believed  him:  and  ye, 
when  ye  saw  it,  did  not  even  repent  yourselves 
afterward,  that  ye  might  believe  him. 

33  Hear  another  parable :  There  was  a  man  that  was 
a  householder,  which  planted  a  vineyard,  and  set  a 
hedge  about  it,  and  digged  a  wintipress  in  it,  and 
built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out  to  husbandmen,   and 

34  went  into  another  country.  And  when  the  season 
of  the  fruits  drew  near,  he  sent  his  *servants  to  the 

35  husbandmen,  to  receive  'his  fruits.  And  the  hus- 
bandmen took  his  ^servants,  and  beat  one,  and  killed 

36  another,  and  stoned  another.  Again,  he  sent  other 
'servants  more   than   the   first:   and  they  did  unto 

37  them  in  like  manner.  But  afterward  he  sent  unto 
them  his  son,  saying.  They  will  reverence  roy  son. 

38  But  the  husbandmen,  when  they  saw  the  son,  said 
among  thetnselves.   This  is   the   heir ;   come,  let  us 

39  kill  him,  and  take  his  inheritance.  And  they  took 
him,  and  cast  him  forth  out   of  the  vineyard,  and 

40  killed  him.  W^ben  therefi^re  the  lord  of  the  vine- 
yard shall  come,  what  will  he  do  unto  those  husband- 

41  m«n  ?  They  say  unto  him,  He  will  miserably  destroy 
those  miserable  men,  and  will  let  out  the  vineyard 
unto  other  husbandmen,  which  shall  render  him  the 

42  fruits  in  their  seasons.  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Did 
ye  never  read  in  the  scriptures,

The  Stone  wnicn  tne  builders  rejected,  the  same  is  become 
the  head  of  the  corner  i  this  is  the  Lord*s  doing,  and  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes? 

43  Therefore  say  I  unto  you,  'The  kingdom  of  God  shall 
be  taken  from  you,  and  given  to  a  nation  bringing  forth 
the  fruits  thereof. 

44  And  whosoever  "shall  fall  on  this  stone,  shall  be

him  to  powder. 

45  And  when  the  chief  priests  and  Phar'i-sees  had  heard 
his  parables,  they  perceived  that  he  spake  of  them. 

46  But  when  they  sought  to  lay  hands  on  him,  they  feared 
the  multitude,  because  "they  took  him  for  a  prophet. 

CHAPTER  XXII. 

7%^  marriage  of  the  king^s  son. 

AND  Jesus  answered  "and  spake  unto  them  again  by  par- 
ables, and  said, 

2  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  certain  king, 
which  made  a  marriage  for  his  son, 

3  And  sent  forth  his  servants  to  call  them  that  were  bid- 
den to  the  wedding:  and  they  would  not  come. 

4  Again,  he  sent  forth  other  servants,  saying,  Tell  them 
which  are  bidden,  Behold,  I  have  prepared  my  dinner  :  'my 
oxen  and  my  fatlings  are  killed,  and  all  things  are  ready: 
come  unto  the  marriage. 

5  But  they  made  light  of  H,  and  went  their  ways,  one  to 
his  farm,  another  to  his  merchandise : 

6  And  the  remnant  took  his  servants,  and  entreated  (hem 
spitefully,  and  slew  them. 

7  But  when  the  king  heard  thereof,  he  was  wroth  :  and  he 
sent  forth  ""his  armies,  and  destroyed  those  murderers,  and 
burned  up  their  city. 

8  Then  saith  he  to  his  servants.  The  wedding  is  ready,  but 
they  which  were  bidden  were  not  ''worthy. 

9  Go  ye  therefore  into  the  highways,  and  as  many  as  ye 
shall  find,  bid  to  the  marriage. 

10  So  those  servants  went  out  into  the  highways,  and 
'gathered  together  all  as  many  as  they  found,  both  bad  and' 
good :  and  the  wedding  was  furnished  with  guests. 

11  ^And  when  the  king  came  in  to  see  the  guests,  he  saw 
there  a  man  Avhich  had  not  on  a  wedding  garment : 

12  And  he  saith  unto  him, Friend, how  camest  thou  in  hither, 
not  having  a  wedding  garment?     And  he  was  speechless. 

13  Then  said  the  king  to  the  servants.  Bind  him  hand  and 
foot,  and  take  him  away,  and  cast  him  "into  outer  darkness ; 
there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

14  ''For  many  are  called,  but  few  are  chosen. 

15  H'Then  went  the  Phar'i-sees,  and  took  counsel  how  they 
might  entangle  him  in  his  talk. 

16  And  they  sent  out  unto  him  their  disciples,  with  the 
He-ro'di-ans,  saying.  Master,  we  know  that  thou  art  true,  and 
teachest  the  way  of  God  in  truth,  neither  carest  thou  for 
any  man:  for  thou  regardest  not  the  person  of  men. 

17  Tell  us  therefore.  What  thinkest  thou?  Is  it  lawful 
to  give  tribute  unto  Ce'sar,  or  not? 

18  But  Jesus  perceived  their  wickedness,  and  said.  Why 
tempt  ye  me,  ye  hypocrites? 

19  Shew  me  the  tribute  money.  And  they  brought  unto 
him  a  ||  penny. 

20  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Whose  is  this  image  and 
II  superscription? 

21  They  say  unto  him,  Ce'sar's.  Then  saith  he  unto  them, 
'Render  therefore  unto  Ce'sar  the  things  which  are  Ce'sar's; 
and  unto  God  the  things  that  are  God  s. 

22  When  they  had  heard  these  words,  they  marvelled,  and 
left  him  and  went  their  way. 

23  ^'The  same  day  came  to  him  the  Sad'du-cees,  "which 
say  that  there  is  no  resurrection,  and  asked  him, 

24  Saying,  Master,  "Mo'ses  said,  If  a  man  die,  having  no 


The  stone  which  the  builders  rejected, 
The  same  was  made  the  head  of  the  corner; 
This  was  from  the  Lord, 
And  it  is  marvellous  in  our  eyes? 
43  Therefore  say  I  unto  you.  The  kingdom  of  God  shall 
be  taken  away  from  you,  and  shall  be  given  to  a  na- 
44tion  bringing  forth  the  fruits  thereof.     'And  he  that 
falleth  on  this  stone  shall  be  broken  to  pieces :  but  on 
whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  it  will  scatter  him  as  dust. 

45  And  when  the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar'i-sees  heard 
his  parables,  they  perceived  that  he  spake  of  them. 

46  And  when  they  sought  to  lay  hold  on  him,  they  feared 
the  multitudes,  because  they  took  him  for  a  prophet. 

^'^     And  Jesus  answered  and  spake  again  in  parables 

2  unto  them,  saying.  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  likened 
unto  a  certain  king,  which  made  a  marriage  feast  for 

Shis  son,  and  sent  forth  his  ^servants  to  call  them  that 
were  bidden  to  the  marriage  feast:  and  they  would 

4  not  come.  Again  he  sent  forth  other  ^servants,  say- 
ing. Tell  them  that  are  bidden.  Behold,  I  have  made 
ready  my  dinner :  my  oxen  and  my  fatlings  are 
killed,  and  all  things  are  ready:  come  to  the  mar- 

5riage  feast.  But  they  made  light  of  it,  and  went 
their  ways,   one   to   his   own  farm,   another  to   his 

6  merchandise :  and  the  rest  laid  hold  on  his  ^servants, 
and  entreated   them   shamefully,  and  killed  them. 

7  But  the  king  was  wroth ;  and  he  sent  his  armies, 
and   destroyed  those  murderers,  and  burned  their 

8  city.  Then  saith  he  to  his  ^servants.  The  wedding 
is  ready,  but  they  that  were  bidden  were  not  worthy. 

9  Go  ye  therefore  unto  the  partings  of  the  highways, 
and  as  many  as  ye  shall  find,  bid  to  the  marriage 

10  feast.  And  those  ^servants  went  out  into  the  high- 
ways, and  gathered  together  all  as  many  as  they 
found,  both  bad  and  good :    and  the  wedding  was 

11  filled  with  guests.  But  when  the  king  came  in  to 
behold  the  guests,  he  saw  there  a  man  which  had 

12  not  on  a  wedding-garment :  and  he  saith  unto  him. 
Friend,  how  camest  thou   in    hither  not   having  a 

13 wedding-garment?  And  he  was  speechless.  Then 
the  king  said  to  the  'servants,  Bind  him  hand  and 
foot,  and  cast  him  out  into  the  outer  darkness;  there 

14  shall  be  the  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth.  For 
many  are  called,  but  few  chosen. 

15  Then  went  the  Phar'i-sees,  and  took  counsel  how 

16  they  mJght  ensnare  him  in  his  talk.  And  they  send 
to  him  their  disciples,  with  the  He-ro'di-ans,  saying, 
'Master,  we  know  that  thou  art  true,  and  teachest 
the  way  of  God  in  truth,  and  carest  not  for  any  one : 

17  for  tbou  regardest  not  the  person  of  men.  Tell  us 
therefore,  What  thinkest  thou  ?     Is  it  lawful  to  give 

18 tribute  unto  Cse'sar,  or  not?     But  Jesus  perceived 

their  wickedness,  and  said,  Why  tempt  ye  me,  ye 

19 hypocrites?     Shew    me   the   tribute    monev.     And 

20  they  brought  unto  him  a  'penny.  And  lie  saith 
unto  them.  Whose  is  this  image  and  superscription  ? 

21  They  say  unto  him,  Cae'sar's.  Then  saith  he  unto 
them,  Render  therefore  unto  Cse'sar  the  things  that 
are  Cae'sar's;   and  unto  God   the  things    that  are 

22  God's.  And  when  they  heard  it  they  marvelled, 
and  left  him,  and  went  their  way. 

23  On  that  day  there  came  to  him  Sad'du-cees,  'which 
say  that  there  is  no  resurrection :  and  they  asked  him,

children,  his  brother  shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed 
unto  his  brother. 

25  Now  there  were  with  us  seven  brethren :  and  the  first, 
when  he  had  married  a  wife,  deceased ;  and,  having  no  issue, 
left  his  wife  unto  his  brother : 

26  Likewise  the  second  also,  and  the  third,  unto  the  fseventh. 

27  And  last  of  all  the  woman  died  also. 

28  Therefore  in  the  resurrection,  whose  wife  shall  she  be 
of  the  seven  ?  for  they  all  had  her. 

29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Ye  do  err,  "not 
knowing  the  scriptures,  nor  the  power  of  God. 

30  For  in  the  resurrection  they  neither  marry,  nor  are 
given  in  marriage,  but  "are  as  the  angels  of  God  in  heaven. 

31  But  as  touching  the  resurrection  of  the  dead,  have  ye 
not  read  that  which  was  spoken  unto  you  by  God,  saying, 

32  'I  am  the  God  of  A'bra-ham.and  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the 
God  of  Ja'cob?  God  is  not  the  Godof  the  dead,  but  of  the  living. 

33  And  when  the  multitude  heard  this,  'they  were  aston- 
ished at  his  doctrine. 

34  ^'But  when  the  Phar'i-sees  had  heard  that  he  had  put 
the  Sad'du-cees  to  silence,  they  were  gathered  together. 

35  Then  one  of  them  which  was  'a  lawyer  asked  him  a 
question,  tempting  him,  and  saying, 

36  Master,  which  is  the  great  commandment  in  the  law? 

37  Jesus  said  unto  him,  "Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God 
with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind. 

38  This  is  the  first  and  great  commandment. 

39  And  the  second  is  like  unto  it,  *Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbour  as  thyself. 

40  "On  these  two  commandments  hang  all  the  law  and 
the  prophets. 

41  ^'While  the  Phar'i-sees  were  gathered  together,  Jesus 
asked  them, 

42  Saying,  What  think  ye  of  Christ?  whose  son  is  he? 
They  say  unto  him.  The  son  of  Da'vid. 

43  He  saith  unto  them,  How  then  doth  Da'vid  in  spirit 
call  him  Lord,  saying, 

44  "The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right 
hand,  till  I  make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool? 

45  If  Da'vid  then  call  him  Lord,  how  is  he  his  son  ? 

46  ""And  no  man  was  able  to  answer  him  a  word,  "^neither 
durst  any  7nan  from  that  day  forth  ask  him  any  more 
questions. 

CHAPTER  XXIII. 

The  destruction  of  Jerusalem  foretold. 

THEN  spake  Jesus  to  the  multitude,  and  to  his  disciples : 
2  Saying,''Thescribesandthe  Phar'i-sees  sit  in  Mo'ses'seat. 

3  All  therefore  whatsoever  they  bid  you  observe,  that  ob- 
serve and  do ;  but  do  not  ye  after  their  works :  for  Hhey 
say,  and  do  not. 

4  "For  they  bind  heavy  burdens  and  grievous  to  be  borne, 
and  lay  them  on  men's  shoulders ;  but  they  themselves  will 
not  move  them  with  one  of  their  fingers. 

5  But  '*all  their  works  they  do  for  to  be  seen  of  men  :  'they 
make  broad  their  phylacteries,  and  enlarge  the  borders  of 
their  garments, 

6  ■''And  love  the  uppermost  rooms  at  feasts,  and  the  chief 
seats  in  the  synagogues, 

7  And  greetings  iu  the  markets,  and  to  be  called  of  men. 
Rabbi,  Rabbi. 

8  "But  be  not  ye  called  Rabbi :  for  one  is  your  Master, 
even  Christ ;  and  all  ye  are  brethren. 

9  And  call  no  man  your  father  upon  the  earth :  *for  one  is 
your  Father,  which  is  in  heaven. 

10  Neither  be  ye  called  masters :  for  one  is  your  Master, 
even  Christ. 

1 1  But  'he  that  is  greatest  among  you  shall  be  your  servant. 

12  *And  whosoever  shall  exalt  himself  shall  be  abased; 
and  he  that  shall  humble  himself  shall  be  exalted. 


children,  his  brother  'shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise 
25  up  seed  unto  his  brother.     Now  there  were  with 
us  seven  brethren :    and  the  first  married  and  de- 
ceased, and  having  no  seed  left  his  wife  unto  his 
26 brother;    in  like   manner  the  second  also,  and  the 

27  third,  unto   the  ^seventh.     And  after  them  all  the 

28  woman  died.  In  the  resurrection  therefore  whose 
wife  shall  she  be  of  the  seven  ?  for  they  all  had  her. 

29  But  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Ye  do  err, 
not  knowing  the  scriptures,  nor  the  power  of  God. 

30  For  in  the  resurrection  they  neither  marry,  nor  are 
given   in    marriage,  but  are   as  angels  'in    heaven. 

31  But  as  touching  the  resurrection  of  the  dead,  have 
ye  not   read   that  which   was  spoken   unto  you  by 

32  God,  saying,  I  am  the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  and  the 
God  of  I'saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob?    God  is  not 

33<Ae  God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the  living.  And  when 
the  multitudes  heard  it,  they  were  astonished  at  his 
teaching. 

34  But  the  Phar'i-sees,  when  they  heard  that  he  had 
put  the  Sad'du-cees  to  silence,  gathered  themselves 

35  together.     And  one  of  them,  a  lawyer,  asked  him  a 

36  question,  tempting,  him,  ^Master,  which  is  the  great 

37  commandment  in  the  law?  And  he  said  unto  him, 
Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy 
heart,   and   with   all   thy   soul,   and   with    all    thy 

38  mind.     This   is  the  great  and  first  commandment. 
39 'And  a  second  like  unto  it  is  this.  Thou  shalt  love 

40  thy  neighbour  as  thyself.  On  these  two  command- 
ments hangeth  the  whole  law,  and  the  prophets. 

41  Now  while  the  Phar'i-sees  were  gathered  together, 

42  Jesus  asked  them  a  question,  saying,  What  think 
ye  of  the  Christ  ?    whose  son  is  he  ?    They  say  unto 

43  him,  The  son  of. Da'vid.  He  saith  unto  them.  How 
then  doth  Da'vid  in  the  Spirit  call  him  Lord,  saying, 

44  The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand. 

Till  I  put  thine  enemies  underneath  thy  feet? 

45  If  Da'vid  then  calleth  him  Lord,  how  is  he  his  son  ? 

46  And  no  one  was  able  to  answer  him  a  word,  neither 
durst  any  man  from  that  day  forth  ask  him  any 
more  questions. 

-^O     Then  spake  Jesus  to  the  multitudes  and  to  his 

2  disciples,  saying,  The  scribes  and  the  Phar'i-sees  sit 

3  on  Mo'ses'  seat :  all  things  therefore  whatsoever 
they  bid  you,  these  do  and  observe :    but  do  not  ye 

4  after  their  works ;  for  they  say,  and  do  not.  Yea, 
they  bind  heavy  burdens  *and  grievous  to  be  borne, 
and  lay  them  on   men's  shoulders;  but  they  them- 

5  selves  will  not  move  them  with  their  finger.  But 
all  their  works  they  do  for  to  be  seen  of  men :  for 
they  make  broad  their  phylacteries,  and  enlarge  the 

6  borders  of  their  garments,  and  love  the  chief  place 
at  feasts,  and   the   chief  seats   in   the   synagogues, 

7  and  the  salutations  in  the  market-places,  and  to  be 
8 called  of  men.  Rabbi.     But  be  not  ye  called  Rabbi: 

for  one  is  your  teacher,  and  all  ye  are  brethren. 
9  And  call  no  man  your  father  on  the  earth :  for  one 

10  is  your  Father,  'which  is  in  heaven.  Neither  be  ye 
called   masters :    for  one   is   your  master,  even  the 

11  Christ.     But  he  that  is  'greatest  among  you  shall  be 

12  your  'servant.  And  whosoever  shall  exalt  himself 
shall  be  humbled ;  and  whosoever  shall  humble 
himself  shall  be  exalted.

21  And  whoso  shall  swear  by  the  temple,  sweareth  by  it, 
and  by  ''him  that  dwelleth  therein. 

22  And  he  that  shall  swear  by  heaven,  sweareth  by  'the 
throne  of  God,  and  by  him  that  sitteth  thereon. 

23  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites!  'for  ye 
pay  tithe  of  mint  and  fanise  and  cummin,  and  "have  omitted 
the  weightier  matters  of  the  law,  judgment,  mercy,  and  faith: 
these  ought  ye  to  have  done,  and  not  to  leave  the  other  undone. 

24  Ye  blind  guides,  which  strain  at  a  gnat,  and  swallow  a 
camel. 

25  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites !  ''for 
ye  make  clean  the  outside  of  the  cup  and  of  the  platter,  but 
within  they  are  full  of  extortion  and  excess. 

26  Thou  blind  Phar'i-see, cleanse  first  that  which  is  within  the 
cup  and  platter,  that  the  outside  of  them  may  be  clean  also. 

27  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites !  "for 
ye  are  like  unto  whited  sepulchres,  which  indeed  appear 
beautiful  outward,  but  are  within  full  of  dead  men's  bones, 
and  of  all  uncleanness. 

28  Even  so  ye  also  outwardly  appear  righteous  unto  men, 
but  within  ye  are  full  of  hypocrisy  and  iniquity. 

29  "Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites!  be- 
cause ye  build  the  tombs  of  the  prophets,  and  garnish  the 
sepulchres  of  the  righteous, 

30  And  say.  If  we  had  been  in  the  days  of  our  fathers,  we 
would  not  have  been  partakers  with  them  in  the  blood  of 
the  prophets. 

31  wherefore  ye  be  witnesses  unto  yourselves,  that  "ye 
are  the  children  of  them  which  killed  the  prophets. 

32  'Fill  ye  up  then  the  measure  of  your  fathers. 

33  Ye  serpents,  ye  "generation  of  vipers,  how  can  ye  escape 
the  damnation  of  hell  ? 

34  ^''Wherefore,  behold,  I  send  unto  you  prophets,  and 
wise  men,  and  scribes :  and  'some  of  them  ye  shall  kill  and 
crucify ;  and  ^some  of  them  shall  ye  scourge  in  your  syna- 
gogues, and  persecute  them  from  city  to  city : 

35  "That  upon  you  may  come  all  the  righteous  bloo|d  shed 
upon  the  earth,  *from  the  blood  of  righteous  A'bel,  unto  'the 
blood  of  Zaeh-a-ri'as,  son  of  Bar-a-chi'as,  whom  ye  slew  be- 
tween the  temple  and  the  altar. 

36  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  All  these  things  shall  come 
upon  this  generation. 

37  *0  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Je-ru'sa-lem,<AoMthat  killest  the  prophets, 
'and  stonest  them  which  are  .sent  unto  thee,  how  often  would 

I  have  gathered  thy  children  together,  even  as  a  hen  gath- 
ereth  her  chickens  "under  her  wings,  and  ye  would  not! 

38  Behold,  your  house  is  left  unto  you  desolate. 

39  For  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  not  see  me  henceforth,  till 
ye  shall  say,  "Blessed  is  he  thatcometh  in  the  same  of  the  Lord. 


13     But  woe  unto  you,  Bcribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypo 
crites!    because   ye   shut    the    kingdom  of  heaven 
4igainst  men  :  for  ye  enter  not  in  yourselves,  neither 
suffer  ye  them  that  are  entering  in  to  enter.^ 

15  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites! 
for  ye  compass  sea  and  land  to  make  one  proselyte  ; 
and   when  he  is  become  so,  ye   make   him  twofold 

'  more  a  son  of 'hell  than  yourselves. 

16  Woe  unto  you,  ye  blind  guides,  which  say.  Who- 
soever shall  swear  by  the  ■'temple,  it  is  nothing; 
but    whosoever    shall    swear    by  the    gold   of  the 

17Hemple,  he  is  'a  debtor.  Ye  fools  and  blind:  for 
whether  is  greater,  the   gold,  or  the  ^temple   that 

18 hath  sanctified  the  gold?  And,  Whosoever  shall 
swear  by  the  altar,  it  is  nothing;  but  whosoever 
shall  swear  by  the  gift  that  is  upon  it,  he  is  ^a  debtor. 

19  Ye  blind  :  for  whether  is  greater,  the  gift,  or  the  altar 

20  that  sanctifieth  the  gift  ?  He  therefore  that  sweareth 
by  the  altar,  sweareth  by  it,  and  by  all  things  there- 

21  on.     And  he  that  sweareth  by  the  Hemple,  sweareth 

22  by  it,  and  by  him  that  dwelleth  therein.  And  he 
that  sweareth  by  the  heaven,  sweareth  by  the  throne 
of  God,  and  by  him  that  sitteth  thereon. 

23  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites ! 
for  ye  tithe  mint  and  "anise  and  cummin,  and  have 
left  undone  the  weightier  matters  of  the  law,  judge- 
ment, and  mercy,  and  faith :  but  these  ye  ought  to 
have  done,  and  not  to  have  left  the  other  undone. 

24  Ye  blind  guides,  which  strain  out  the  gnat,  and  swal- 
low the  camel. 

25  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites  I 
for  ye  cleanse  the  outside  of  the  cup  and  of  the  plat- 
ter, but  within  they  are  full  from  extortion  and  ex- 

26  cess.  Thou  blind  Phar'i-see,  cleanse  first  the  inside 
of  the  cup  and  of  the  platter,  that  the  outside  thereof 
may  become  clean  also. 

27  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites 
for  ye  are  like   unto  whited  sepulchres,  which  out- 
wardly appear  beautiful,  but  inwardly  are  full  of  dead 

28  men's  bones,  and  of  all  uncleanness.  Even  so  ye 
also  outwardly  appear  righteous  unto  men,  but  in- 
wardly ye  are  full  of  hypocrisy  and  iniquity. 

29  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites ! 
for  ye  build  the  sepulchres   of  the    prophets,  and 

30  garnish  the  tombs  of  the  righteous,  and  say,  If  we 
had  been  in  the  days  of  our  fathers,  we  should  not 
have  been  partakers  with  them  in  the  blood  of  the 

31  prophets.     Wherefore  ye  witness  to  yourselves,  that 

32  ye  are  sons  of  them  that  slew  the  prophets.     Fill  ye 

33  up  then  the  measure  of  your  fathers.  Ye  serpents, 
ye  offspring  of  vipers,  how  shall  ye  escape  the  judge- 

34  ment  of  %ell  ?  'Therefore,  behold,  I  send  unto  you 
prophets,  and  wise  men,  and  scribes:  some  of  them 
shall  ye  kill  and  crucify ;  and  some  of  them  shall  ye 
scourge  in  your  synagogues,  and  persecute  from  city 

35  to  city :  that  upon  you  may  come  all  the  righteous 
blood  shed  on  the  earth,  from  the  blood  of  A'bel  the 
righteous  unto  the  blood  of  Zach-a-ri'ah  son  of  Bar-^a- 
chi'ah,  whom  ye  slew  between  the  sanctuary  and  the 

36  altar.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  All  these  things  shall 
come  upon  this  generation. 

37  O  Je-ru'sa-lem,Je-ru'sa-lem, which  killeth  the  proph- 
ets; and  stoneth  them  that  are  sent  unto  her!  how 
often  would  I  have  gathered  thy  children  together, 
even   as  a   hen   gathereth    her  chickens  under  her 

38  wings,  and  ye  would  not !     Behold,  your  house  is 

39  left  unto  you  "desolate.  For  I  say  unto  you,  Ye 
shall  not  see  me  henceforth,  till  ye  i^all  say,  Blessed 
is  he  that  c»meth  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.

Christ  foreteUeth  the  destruction  of  the  temple. 

AND  "Jesus  went  out,  and  departed  from  the  temple :  and 
his  disciples  came  to  him.  for  to  shew  him  the  buildings 
of  the  temple. 

2  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  See  ye  not  all  these  things? 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  ''There  shall  not  be  left  here  one  stone 
upon  another,  that  shall  not  be  thtown  down. 

3  ^And  as  he  sat  upon  the  mount  of  Olives,  "the  disciples 
came  unto  him  privately,  saying,  ''Tell  us,  when  shall  these 
things  be?  and  what  shall  be  the  sign  of  thy  coming,  and  of 
the  end  of  the  world? 

4  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  'Take  heed 
that  no  man  deceive  you. 

5  For  ■''many  shall  come  in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  Christ ; 
"and  shall  deceive  many. 

6  And  ye  shall  hear  of  wars  and  rumours  of  wars:  see 
that  ye  be  not  troubled :  for  all  these  things  must  come  to 
pass,  but  the  end  is  not  yet. 

7  For  ''nation  shall  rise  against  nation,  and  kingdom 
against  kingdom :  and  there  shall  be  famines,  and  pesti- 
lences, and  earthquakes,  in  divers  places. 

8  All  these  are  the  beginning  of  sorrows. 

9  'Then  shall  they  deliver  you,up  to  be  afflicted,  and  shall 
kill  you:  andyeshall  be  hated  of  all  nationsfor  my  name'ssake. 

10  And  then  shall  many  *be  ofifended,  and  shall  betray  one 
another,  and  shall  hate  one  another. 

1 1  And  'many  false  prophets  shall  rise,and"'shall  deceive  many. 

12  And  because  iniquity  shall  abound,  the  love  of  many 
shall  wax  cold. 

13  "But  he  that  shall  endure  unto  the  end,  the  same  shall 
be  saved. 

14  And  this  "gospel  of  the  kingdom  "shall  be  preached  in 
all  the  world  for  a  witness  unto  all  nations;  and  then  shall 
the  end  come. 

15  'When  ye  therefore  shall  see  the  abomination  of  deso- 
lation, spoken  of  by  "^Dan'iel  the  prophet,  stand  in  the  holy 
place,  ('whoso  readeth,  let  him  understand,) 

16  Then  letthem  which  be  in  Ju-de'a  flee  into  the  mountains : 

17  Let  him  which  is  on  the  housetop  not  come  down  to 
take  any  thing  out  of  his  house: 

18  Neither  let  him  which  is  in  the  field  return  back  to  take 
his  clothes. 

19  And  'woe  unto  them  that  are  with  child,  and  to  them 
that  give  suck  in  those  days ! 

20  But  pray  ye  that  your  flight  be  not  in  the  winter, 
neither  on  the  sabbath  day : 

21  For  "then  shall  be  great  tribulation,  such  as  was  not  since 
the  beginning  of  the  world  to  this  time,  no,  nor  ever  shall  be. 

22  And  except  those  days  be  shortened,  there  should 
no  flesh  be  saved:  "'but  for  the  elect's  sake  those  days 
shall  be  .shortened. 

23  "Then  if  any  man  shall  say  unto  you,  Lo,  here  is 
Christ,  or  there ;  believe  it  not. 

24  For  ''there  shall  arise  false  Christs,  and  false  prophets, 
and  shall  shew  great  signs  and  wonders;  insomuch  that,  "if 
it  were  possible,  they  shall  deceive  the  very  elect. 

2.5  Behold,  I  have  told  you  before. 

26  Wherefore  if  they  shall  say  unto  you.  Behold,  he  is  in 
the  desert ;  go  not  forth :  behold,  he  is  in  the  secret  cham- 
bers; believe  it  not. 

27  ''For  as  the  lightning  cometh  out  of  the  east,  and  shineth 
even  unto  the  west;  so  shall  also  thecoming  of  the  Son  of  man  be. 

28  "For  wheresoever  the  carcass  is,  there  will  the  eagles  be 
gathered  together. 

29  ^''Immediately  after  the  tribulation  of  those  days 'shall 
the  sun  be  darkened,  and  the  moon  shall  not  give  her  light, 
and  the  stars  .shall  fall  from  heaven,  and  the  powers  of  the 
heavens  shall  be  shaken : 


^^  And  Jesus  went  out  from  the  temple,  and  was 
going  on  his  way ;  and  his  disciples  came  to  him  to 

2  shew  him  the  buildings  of  the  temple.  But  he  an- 
swered and  said  unto  them.  See  ye  not  all  these 
things?  verily  I  say  unto  you,  There  shall  not  be 
left  here  one  stone  upon  another,  that  shall  not  be 
thrown  down. 

3  And  as  he  sat  on  the  mount  of  Olives,  the  dis- 
ciples came  unto  him  privately,  saying.  Tell  us,  when 
shall  these  things  be  ?  and  what  shaU  be  the  sign  of 

4  thy  'coming,  and  of  ^the  end  of  the  world  ?  And 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Take  heed  that 

5  no  man  lead  you  astray.  For  many  shall  come  in 
my  name,  saying,  I  am  the  Christ;  and  shall  lead 

6  many  astray.  And  ye  shall  hear  of  wars  and  rumours 
of  wars:  see  that  ye  be  not  troubled :  for  these  things 
must  needs  come  to  pass;    but  the  end  is  not  yet. 

7  For  nation  shall  rise  against  nation,  and  kingdom 
against  kingdom :   and  there  shall  be  famines    and 

8  earthquakes  in  divers  places.     But  all  these  things 

9  are  the  beginning  of  travail.  Then  shall  they  deliver 
you  up  unto  tribulation,  and  shall  kill  you :  and  ye 
shall  be  hated  of  all  the  nations  for  my  name's  sake. 

10  And  then  shall  many  stumble,  and  shall  deliver  up 

11  one  another,  and  shall  hate  one  another.  And  many 
false  prophets  shall  arise,  and  shall  lead  many  astray. 

12  And  because  iniquity  shall  be  multiplied,  the  love 

13  of  the  many  shall  wax  cold.     But  he  that  endureth 

14  to  the  end,  the  same  shall  be  saved.  And  Hhis  gospel 
of  the  kingdom  shall  be  preached  in  the  whole  *  world 
for  a  testimony  unto  all  the  nations;  and  then  shall 
the  end  come. 

15  When  therefore  ye  see  the  abomination  of  deso- 
lation, which  was  spoken  of  'by  Dan'iel  the  prophet, 
standing  in  Hhe  holy  place    (let  him   that    readeth 

16  understand),   then  let  them  that  are  in  Ju-dae'a  flee 

17  unto  the  mountains :  let  him  that  is  on  the  house- 
top not  go  down  to  take  out  the  things  that  are  in 

18 his  house:   and  let  him  that  is  in  the  field  not  re- 

19  turn  back  to  take  his  eloke.     But  woe  unto  them 

that  are  with  child  and  to  them  that  give  suck  in 

20 those  days!     And  pray  ye  that  your  flight  be  not 

21  in  the  winter,  neither  on  a  sabbath  :  for  then  shall 
be  great  tribulation,  such  as  hath  not  been  from  the 
beginning  of  the  world  until  now,  no,  nor  ever  shall 

22  be.  And  except  those  days  had  been  shortened,  no 
flesh  would  have  been    saved :    but   for  the  elect's 

23  sake  those  days  shall  be  shortened.  Then  if  any 
man  shall  say  unto  you,  Lo,  here  is  the  Christ,  or, 

24 Here;  believe  ''it  not.  For  there  shall  arise  false 
Christs,  and  false  prophets,  and  shall  shew  great 
signs  and  wonders;  so  as  to  lead  astray,  if  possible, 

25  even  the  elect.     Behold,  I  have    told    you  before- 

26  hand.  If  therefore  they  shall  say  unto  you,  Behold, 
he  is  in  the  wilderness ;  go  not  forth :  Behold,  he  is 

27  in  the  inner  chambers ;  believe  Ht  not.  For  as  the 
lightning  cometh  forth  from  the  east,  and  is  seen 
even  unto  the  west ;   so  shall  be  the  'coming  of  the 

28  Son  of  man.  Wheresoever  the  carcase  is,  there  will 
the  'eagles  be  gathered  together. 

29  But  immediately,  after  the  tribulation  of  those  days, 
the  sun  shall  be  darkened,  and  tlie  moon  shall  not 
give  her  light,  and  the  stars  shall  fall  from  heaven, 
and  the  powers  of  the  heavens  shall   be   shaken:

31  "And  he  shall  send  his  angels  ||  with  a  great  sound  of

were  eating  and  drinking,  marrying  and  giving  in  marriage,

CHAPTER   XXV. 

Parables  of  the  ten  virgins,  etc. 

THEN  shall  the  kingdom  of  heaven  be  likened  unto  ten 
virgins,  which  took  their  lamps,  and  went  forth  to  meet 
"the  bridegroom. 

2  'And  five  of  them  were  wise,  and  five  were  foolish. 

3  They  that  were  foolish  took  their  lamps,  and  took  no  oil 
with  them: 

4  But  the  wise  took  oil  in  their  vessels  with  their  lamps. 

5  AVhile  thebridegroom  tarriedj^they  all  slumbered  and  slept. 

6  And  at  midnight  ''there  was  a  cry  made,  Behold,  the 
bridegroom  cometh;  go  ye  out  to  meet  him. 

7  Then  all  those  virgins  arose,  and  'trimmed  their  lamps. 

8  And  the  foolish  said  unto  the  wise.  Give  us  of  your  oil ; 
for  our  lamps  are  ||  gone  out. 

9  But  the  v/i.se  answered,  saying,  Not  so;  lest  there  be  not 
enough  for  us  and  you :  but  go  ye  rather  to  them  that  sell, 
and  buy  for  yourselves. 


30  and  then  shall  appear  the  sign  of  the  Son  of  man 
in  heaven :  and  then  shall  all  the  tribes  of  the  earth 
mourn,  and  they  shall  see  the  Son  of  man  coming 
on  the  clouds  of  heaven  with  power  and  great  glory. 

31  And  he  shall  send  forth  his  angels  'with  %  great 
sound  of  a  trumpet,  and  they  shall  gather  together 
his  elect  from  the  four  winds,  from  one  end  of 
heaven  to  the  other. 

32  Now  from  the  fig  tree  learn  her  parable:  when 
her  branch  is  now  become  tender,  and  putteth  forth 

33  its  leaves,  ye  know  that  the  summer  is  nigh ;  even 
so  ye  also,  when  ye  see  all  these  things,  know  ye 

34  that  'he  is  nigh,  even  at  the  doors.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you.  This  generation  shall  not  pass  away,  till 

35 all  these  things  be  accomplished.  Heaven  and 
earth    shall  pass   away,   but    my   words    shall   not 

36  pass  away.  But  of  that  day  and  hour  knoweth 
no   one,  not  even   the  angels  of  heaven,   ^neither 

37  the  Son,  but  the  Father  only.  And  as  loere  the 
days  of  No'ah,  so  shall  be  the  'coming  of  the  Son 

38  of  man.  For  as  in  those  days  which  were  before 
the  flood  they  were  eating  and  drinking,  marrying 
and  giving  in  marriage,  until  the  day  that  No'ah 

39  entered  into  the  ark,  and  they  knew  not  until  the 
flood  came,  and  took  them  all  away ;  so  shall  be  the 

40 'coming  of  the  Son  of  man.     Then  shall  two  men 

41  be  in  the  field;  one  is  taken,  and  one  is  left:  two 
women  shall  be  grinding  at  the  mill ;  one  is  taken, 

42  and  one  is  left.     Watcl)  therefore :  for  ye  know  not 

43  on  what  day  your  Lord  cometh.  ^But  know  this, 
that  if  the  master  of  the  house  had  known  in  what 
watch  the  thief  was  coming,  he  would  have  watched, 
and  would  not  have  suffered  his  house  to  be  'broken 

44  through.  Therefore  be  ye  also  ready :  for  in  an 
hour  that  ye  think  not  the  Son  of  man  cometh. 

45  Who  then  is  the  faithful  and  wise  'servant,  whom 
his  lord  hath  set  over  his  household,  to  give  them 

46  their  food  in  due  sea.son  ?  Blessed  is  that  'servant, 
whom  his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find  so  doing. 

47  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  will  set  him  over  all 

48  that  he  hath.     But  if  that  evil  'servant  shall  say  in 

49  his  heart.  My  lord  tarrieth ;  and  shall  begin  to  beat 
his  fellow-servants,  and  shall  eat  and  drink  with  the 

50  drunkep  ;  the  lord  of  that  'servant  shall  come  in  a 
day  when  he  expecteth  not,  and  in  an  hour  when 

51  he  knoweth  not,  and  shall  "cut  him  asunder,  and 
appciLt  his  portion  with  the  hypocrites:  there  shall 
be  the  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

^O  Then  shall  the  kingdom  of  heaven  be  likened  unto 
ten  virgins,  which  took  their  '"lamps,  and  went  forth 

2  to  meet  the  bridegroom.     And  five  of  them  were 

3  foolish,  and  five  were  wise.  For  the  foolish,  when 
they  took   their  '"lamps,  took   no    oil  with   them: 

4  but   the  wi.se  took   oil  in    their  vessels  with   their 
5 '"lamps.     Now  while  the  bridegroom  tarried,  they 

6  all  slumbered  and  slept.  But  at  midnight  there 
is  a  cry,  Behold,  the  bridegroom !     Come  ye  forth 

7  to  meet   him.     Then  all   those  virgins  arose,   and 

8  trimmed  their  '"lamps.  And  the  fooli.sh  said  unto 
the  wise.  Give  us  of  your  oil ;  for  our  '"lamps  are  go- 

9  ing  out.  But  the  wise  answered,  saying,  Peradven- 
ture  there  will  not  be  enough  for  us  aud  you:  go 
ye  rather  to  tHem  that  sell,  and  buy  for  yourselves.

10  And  while  they  went  to  buy,  the  bricegroom  came; 
and  they  that  were  ready  went  in  with  him  ^d  the  marriage: 
and  -^the  door  was  shut. 

11  Afterward  came  also  the  other  virgins,  saying,  "Lord, 
Lord,  open  to  us. 

12  But  he  answered  and  said,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  *I 
know  you  not. 

13  'Watch  therefore;  for  ye  know  neither  the  day  nor  the 
hour  wherein  the  Son  of  man  cometh. 

14  Ty*For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  'as  a  man  travelling 
into  a  far  country,  wAo  called  his  own  servants,  and  delivered 
unto  them  his  goods. 

15  And  unto  one  he  gave  five  ][  talents,  to  another  two, 
and  to  another  one  ;  "to  every  man  according  to  his  several 
ability;  and  straightway  took  his  journey. 

16  Then  he  that  had  received  the  five  talents,  went  and 
traded  with  the  same,  and  made  them  other  five  talents. 

17  And  likewise  he  that  had  received  two,  he  also  gained 
other  two. 

18  But  he  that  had  received  one  went  and  digged  in  the 
earth,  and  hid  his  lord's  money. 

19  After  a  long  time  the  lord  of  those  servants  cometh, 
and  reckoneth  with  them. 

20  And  so  he  that  had  received  five  talents  came  and  brought 
other  five  talents,  saying,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto  me  five 
talents :  behold,  I  have  gained  besides  them  five  talents  more. 

21  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well  done,  thou  good  and  faithful 
servant:  thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,"!  will  make 
thee  ruler  over  many  things:  enter  thou  into  "the  joy  of  thylord. 

22  He  also  that  had  received  two  talents  came  and  said. 
Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto  me  two  talents:  behold,  I  have 
gained  two  other  talents  besides  them. 

23  His  lord  said  unto  him,  "Well  done,  good  and  faithful 
servant;  thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,  I  will  make 
thee  ruler  over  many  things:  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord. 

24  Then  he  which  bad  received  the  one  talent  came  and  said. 
Lord,  I  knew  thee  that  thou  art  a  hard  man,  reaping  where 
thou  hast  not  sown,and  gathering  where  thou  hast  not  strewed: 

25  And  I  was  afraid,  and  went  and  hid  thy  talent  in  the 
earth :  lo,  there  thou  hast  that  is  thine. 

26  His  lord  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Thou  wicked 
and  slothful  servant,  thou  knewest  that  I  reap  where  I  sowed 
not,  and  gather  where  I  have  not  strewed : 

27  Thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have  put  my  money  to  the 
exchangers,  and  then  at  my  coming  I  should  have  received 
mine  own  with  usury. 

28  Take  therefore  the  talent  from  him,  and  give  it  unto  him 
which  hath  ten  talents. 

29  'For  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given,  and  he 
shall  have  abundance :  but  from  him  that  hath  not  shall  be 
taken  away  even  that  which  he  hath. 

30  And  cast  ye  the  unprofitable  servant  ""into  outer  dark- 
ness :  there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

31  ^'When  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  his  glory,  and 
all  the  holy  angels  with  him,  then  shall  he  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  his  glory: 

32  And  'before  him  shall  be  gathered  all  nations :  and  "he 
shall  separate  them  one  from  another,  as  a  shepherd  divideth 
his  sheep  from  the  goats : 

33  And  he  shall  set  the  sheep  on  his  right  hand,  but  the 
goats  on  the  left. 

34  Then  shall  the  King  say  unto  them  on  his  right  hand. 
Come,  ye  blessed  of  my  Father,  ''inherit  the  kingdom  "pre- 
pared for  you  from  the  foundation  of  the  world : 

35  "For  I  was  a  hungered,  and  ye  gave  me  meat :  I  was 
thirsty,  and  ye  gave  me  drink:  "I  was  a  stranger,  and  ye 
took  me  in : 

36  ''Naked,  and  ye  clothed  me :  I  was  sick,  and  ye  visited 
me:  '^I  was  in  prison,  and  ye  came  unto  me. 


10  And  while  they  went  away  to  buy,  the  bridegroom 
came;    and  they  that  were  ready  went  in  with  him 

11  to  the  marriage  feast:  and  the  door  was  shut.  After- 
ward come  also  the   other  virgins,  saying.  Lord, 

12  Lord,  open  to  us.     But  he  answered  and  said.  Verily 
13 1  say  unto  you,  I  know  you  not.     Watch  therefore, 

for  ye  know  not  the  day  nor  the  hour. 

14  For  if  is  as  when  a  man,  going  into  another  coun- 
try, called  his  own    'servants,  and  delivered  unto 

15  them  his  goods.  And  unto  one  he  gave  five  talents, 
to  another  two,  to  another  one ;  to  each  according 
to  his  several  ability ;   and  he  went  on  his  journey. 

16  Straightway  he  that  received  the  five  talents  went 
and  traded  with  them,  and  made  other  five  talents 

17  In  like  manner  he  also  that  received  the  two  gained 

18  other  two.  But  he  that  received  the  one  went  away 
and  digged  in  the  earth,  and  hid  his  lord's  money, 

19  Now  after  a  long  time  the  lord  of  those  'servants 

20  cometh,  and  maketh  a  reckoning  with  them.  And 
he  that  received  the  five  talents  came  and  brought 
other  five  talents,  saying,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst 
unto  me  five  talents:  lo,  I  have  gained   other  five 

21  talents.  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well  done,  good 
and  faithful  ^servant :  thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a 
few  things,  I  will  set  thee  over  many  things:  enter 

22  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord.  And  he  also  that  re- 
ceived the  two  talents  came  and  said.  Lord,  thou 
deliveredst  unto  me  two  talents :  lo,  I  have  gained 

23  other  two  talents.  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well 
done,  good  and  faithful  ^servant;  thou  hast  been 
faithful  over  a  few  things,  I  will  set  thee  over  many 

24  things :  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord.  And 
he  also  that*  had  received  the  one  talent  came  and 
said.  Lord,  I  knew  thee  that  thou  art  a  hard  man 
reaping  where  thou  didst  not  sow,  and  gathering 

25  where  thou  didst  not  scatter :  and  I  was  afraid,  and 
went  away  and  hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth :  lo,  thou 

26  hast  thine  own.  But  his  lord  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Thou  wicked  and  slothful  'servant,  thou 
knewest  that  I  reap  where  I  sowed  not,  and  gather 

27  where  I  did  not  scatter ;  thou  oughtest  therefore  to 
have  put  my  money  to  the  bankers,  and  at  my  com- 
ing I  should  have  received  back  mine   own   with 

28  interest.  Take  ye  away  therefore  the  talent  from 
him,  and  give  it  unto  him  that  hath  the  ten  talents. 

29  For  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given,  and 
he  shall  have  abundance:  but  from  him  that  hath 
not,  even  that  which  he  hath  shall  be  taken  away. 

30  And  cast  ye  out  the  unprofitable  'servant  into  the 
outer  darkness:  there  shall  be  the  weeping  and 
gnashing  of  teeth. 

31  But  when  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  his  glory, 
and  all  the  angels  with  him,  then  shall  he  sit  on  the 

32  throne  of  his  glory :  and  before  him  shall  be  gath- 
ered all  the  nations :  and  he  shall  separate  them  one 
from  another,  as  the  shepherd  separateth  the  sheep 

33  from  the  ^goats:  and  he  shall  set  the  sheep  on  his 

34  right  hand,  but  the  'goats  on  the  left.  Then  shall  the 
King  say  unto  them  on  his  right  hand.  Come,  ye 
blessed  of  my  Father,  inherit  the  kingdom  prepared 

35  for  you  from  the  foundation  of  the  world :  for  I  was 
an  hungred,  and  ye  gave  me  meat :  I  was  thirsty,  and 
ye  gave  me  drink :  I  was  a  stranger,  and  ye   took 

36  me  in ;  naked,  and  ye  clothed  me :  I  was  sick,  and 
ye  visited  me :  I  was  in  prison,  and  ye  came  unto  me.

when  saw  we  thee  a  hungered,  and  fed  thee?  or  thirsty, 
and  gave  thee  drink  ? 

38  When  saw  we  thee  a  stranger,  and  took  thee  in  ?  or

saw  we  thee  a  hungered,  or  athirst,  or  a  stranger,  or  naked, 
or  sick,  or  in  prison,  and  did  not  minister  unto  thee?

CHAPTER    XXVL 

The  rulers  conspire  against  Christ^udas  selleth  him—The  passaver. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  finished  all  these 
sayings,  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 

2  "Ye  know  that  after  two  days  is  <Ae/eas<  0/ the  passover, 
and  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  to  be  crucified. 

3  'Then  assembled  together  the  chief  priests,  and  the  scribes, 
and  the  elders  of  the  people,  unto  the  palace  of  the  high 
priest,  who  was  called  Ca'ia-phas, 

4  And  consulted  that  they  might,  take  Jesus  by  subtilty, 
and  kill  Aim.  • 

0  But  they  said.  Not  on  the  feast  day,  1  lest  there  bean  up- 
roar among  the  people. 

6  ^°Now  when  Jesus  was  in  ''Beth'a-ny,  in  the  house  of 
Si'mon.the  leper, 

7  There  came  unto  him  a  woman  having  an  alabaster  box 
of  very  precious  ointment,  and  poured  it  on  his  head  as  he 
sat  at  meat. 

8  'But  when  his  disciples  saw  it,  they  had  indignation,  say- 
ing, To  what  purpose  is  this  waste? 

9  For  this  ointment  might  have  been  sold  for  much,  and 
given  to  the  poor. 

10  When  Jesus  understood  it,  he  said  unto  them.  Why 
trouble  ye  the  woman?  for  she  hath  wrought  a  good  work 
upon  me. 

11  •'For  ye  have  the  poor  always  with  you;  but 'me  ye 
have  not  always. 

12  For  in  that  she  hath  poured  this  ointment  on  my  body, 
she  did  it  for  my  burial. 

13  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Wheresoever  this  gospel  shall 
be  preached  in  the  Avhole  world,  there  shall  also  this,  that 
this  woman  hath  done,  be  told  for  a  memorial  of  her. 

14  li*Then  one  of  the  twelve,  called  'Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot, 
went  unto  the  chief  priests, 

15  And  said  unto  them,  *What  will  ye  give  me,  and  I  will 
deliver  him  unto  you?  And  they  covenanted  with  him  for 
thirty  pieces  of  silver. 

16  And  from  that  time  he  sought  opportunity  to  betray  him. 

17  ^'Now  the  first  day  oi  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread, 
the  disciples  came  to  Jesus,  saying  unto  him.  Where  wilt 
thou  that  we  prepare  for  thee  to  eat  the  passover? 

18  And  he  said.  Go  into  the  city  to  such  a  man,  and  say 
unto  him.  The  Master  saith.  My  time  is  at  hand ;  I  will  keep 
the  passover  at  thy  house  with  nay  disciple*. 


37  Then  shall  the  righteous  answer  him,  saying.  Lord, 
when    saw  we   thee  an  hungred,  and    fed   thee?  or 

38  athirst,  and  gave  thee  drink  ?  And  when  saw  we 
thee  a  stranger,  and  took    thee  in?  or   naked,  and 

39  clethed   thee  ?     And   when   saw  .  we   thee   sick,   or 
40 in   prison,    and   came  unto    thee?     And  the   King 

shall  answer  and  say  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  Inasmuch   as  ye  did  it  unto  one  of  these  my 

41  brethren,  even  these  least,  ye  did  it  unto  me.  Then 
shall  he  say  also  unto  them  on  the  left  hand, 
'Depart  from  me,  ye  cursed,  into  the  eternal  fire 
which  is   prepared    for  the   devil   and   his  angels : 

42  for  I  was  an   hungred,  and  ye  gave  me  no  meat 
43 1  was  thirsty,  and  ye  gave  me  no  drink :  I  was  a 

stranger,  and  ye  took  me  not  in ;  naked,  and  ye 
clothed  me    not ;  sick,  and  in   prison,  and  ye   vis 

44  ited  me  not.  Then  shall  they  also  answer,  saying. 
Lord,  when  saw  we  thee  an  hungred,  or  athirst,  or 
a  stranger,  or  naked,  or  sick,  or  in  prison,  and  did 

45 not  minister  unto  thee?  Then  shall  he  answer 
them,  saying,  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Inasmuch  as 
ye  did  it  not  imto  one  of  these  least,  ye  did  it  not 

46  unto  me.  And  these  shall  go  away  into  eternal 
punishment :  but  the  righteous  into  eternal  life. 

-^v)     And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  finished  all 

2  these  words,  he  said  unto  his  disciples.  Ye  know 
that  after  two  days  the.  passover  cometh,  and  the 

3  Son  of  man  is  delivered  up  to  be  crucified.  Then 
were  gathered  together  the  chief  priests,  and  the 
elders   of  the  people,  unto  the   court  of  the  high 

4 priest,  who  was  called  Ca'ia-phas;  and  they  took 
counsel   together  that   they   might  take    Jesus   by 

5  subtilty,  and  kill  him.     But  they  said,  Not  during 

the  feast,  lest  a  tumult  arise  among  the  people. 

6  Now  when  Jesus  was  in  Beth'a-ny,  in  the  house  of 

7  Si'mon  the  leper,  there  came  unto  him  a  woman 
having  %n  alabaster  cruse  of  exceeding  precious 
ointment,  and  she  poured  it  upon  his  head,  as  he 

8  sat  at  meat.  But  when  the  disciples  saw  it,  they 
had  indignation,  saying.  To   what   purpose   is  this 

9 waste?     For  this  ointment  might  have  been  sold  for 

lOmuch,  and  given  to  the  poor.     But  Jesus  perceiving 

it  said  unto  them,  Why  trouble  ye  the  woman  ?  for 

11  she  hath  wrought  a  good  work  upon  me.  For  ye 
have  the  poor  always  with  you ;  but  me  ye  have  not 

12  always.     For  in  that  she  'poured  this  ointment  upon 

13  my  body,  she  did  it  to  prepare  me  for  burial.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you.  Wheresoever  Hhis  gospel  shall  be 
preached  in  the  whole  world,  that  also  which  this 
woman  hath  done  shall  -ie  spoken  of  for  a  memorial 
of  her. 

14  Then  one  of  the  twelve,  who  was  called  Ju'das 

15  Is-car'i-ot,  went  unto  the  chief  priests,  and  said,  What 
are  ye  willing  to  give  m^,  and  I  will  deliver  him 
unto   you?     And    they   weighed    unto    him   thirty 

16  pieces  of  silver.  And  from  that  time  he  sought  op- 
portunity to  deliver  him.tinto  them. 

17  Now  on  the  first  day  of  unleavened  bread  the  dis- 
ciples came  to  Jesus  saying,  Where  wilt  thou  that 

18  we  make  ready  for  thee  to  eat  the  passover?  And 
he  said.  Go  into  the  city  to  such  a  man,  and  say 
unto  him.  The  'Master  saith,  My  time  is  at  hand ;  I 
keep  the  passover  at  thy  house  with  my  disciples.

19  Aad  the  disciples  did  as  Jesus  had  appointed  them  5  aad 
they  made  ready  the  passover. 

20  "'Now  when  the  even  was  come,  he  sat  down  ,with  the 
twelve. 

21  And  as  they  did  .eat,  he  said.  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
that  one  of  you  shall  betray  me. 

22  And  they  were  exceeding  sorrowful,  and  began  every 
one  of  them  to  say  unto  him,  Lord,  is  it  I? 

23  And  he  answered  and  said,  "He  that  dippeth  his  hand 
with  me  in  the  dish,  the  same  shall  betray  me. 

24  The  Son  of  man  goeth  "as  it  is  written  of  him :  but 
"woe  unto  that  man  by  whom  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed !  it 
had  been  good  for  that  man  if  he  had  not  been  born. 

25  Then  Ju'das,  which  betrayed  him,  answered  and  said. 
Master,  is  it  I  ?     He  said  unto  him.  Thou  hast  said. 

26  ^'And  as  they  were  eating,  'Jesus  took  bread,  and 
II  blessed  it,  and  brake  it,  and  gave  it  to  the  disciples,  and 
said.  Take,  eat;  'this  is  my  body. 

27  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  gave  thanks,  and  gave  it  to 
them,  saying,  'Drink  ye  all  of  it ; 

28  For  "this  is  my  blood  "'of  the  new  testament,  which  is 
shed  "for  many  for  the  remission  of  sins. 

29  But  'I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  drink  henceforth  of  this 
fruit  of  the  vine,  "until  that  day  when  I  drink  it  new  with 
you  in  my  Father's  kingdom. 

30  'And  when  they  had  sung  a  ||  hymn,  they  went  out  into 
the  mount  of  Olives. 

31  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  them,  "AH  ye  shall  ""be  offended  be- 
cause of  me  this  night:  for  it  is  written,  'I  will  smite  the  Shep- 
herd, and  the  sheep  of  the  flock  shall  be  scattered  abroad. 

32  Butafter  I  am  risen  agaiuj-^Iwillgo  before  you  intoGal'i-lee. 

33  Pe'ter  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Though  all  men  shall 
be  offended  because  of  thee,  yet  will  I  never  be  offended. 

34  Jesus  said  unto  him,  'Verily  I  say  unto  thee,  That  this 
night,  before  the  cock  crow,  thou  shalt  deny  me  thricci 

35  -Pe'ter  said  unto  him,  Though  I  should  die  with  thee,  yet 
will  I  not  deny  thee.     Likewise  also  said  all  the  disciples. 

36  TJ^Then  cometh  Jesus  with  them  unto  a  place  called 
Geth-sem'a-ne,  and  saith  unto  the  disciples,  Sit  ye  here, 
while  I  go  and  pray  yonder. 

',  37  And  he  took  with  him  Pe'ter  and  the   two   sons  of 
jZeb'e-dee,  and  began  to  be  sorrowful  and  very  heavy. 
1   38  Then  saith  he  unto   them,  *My  soul  is  exceeding  sor- 
rowful, even  unto  death :  tarry  ye  here,  and  watch  with  me. 

39  And  he  went  a  little  further,  and  fell  on  his  face,  and 
'prayed,  saying,  "'O  my  Father,  if  it  be  possible,  "let  this  cup 
pass  from  me  :  nevertheless,  "not  as  I  will,  but  as  thou  wilt. 

40  And  he  cometh  unto  the  disciples,  and  findeth  them 
asleep,  and  saith  unto  Pe'ter,  What,  could  ye  not  watch 
with  me  one  hour? 

41  "Watch  and  pray,  that  ye  enter  not  into  temptation : 
the  spirit  indeed  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak. 

42  He  went  away  again  the  secon'd  time,  and  prayed,  say- 
ing, O  my  Father,  if  this  cup  may  not  pass  away  from  me, 
except  I  drink  it,  thy  will  be  done. 

43  And  he  came  and  found  them  asleep  again:  for  their 
eyes  were  heavy. 

44  And  he  left  them,  and  went  away  again,  and  prayed 
the  third  time,  saying  the  same  words. 

45  Then  cometh  he  to  his  disciples  and  saith  unto  them. 
Sleep  on  now,  and  take  your  rest :  behold,  the  hour  is  at  hand, 
and  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  into  the  hands  of  sinners. 

46  Rise,  let  us  be  going:  behold,  he  is  at  hand  that  doth 
betray  me. 

47  ^[  And 'while  he  yet  spake,  lo,  Ju'das,  one  of  the  twelve, 
came,  and  with  him  a  great  multitude  with  swords  and 
staves,  from  the  chief  priests  and  elders  of  the  people. 

48  Now  he  that  betrayed  him,  gave  them  a  sign,  saying, 
Whomsoever  I  shall  kiss,  that  same  is  he ;  hold  him  fast. 


ly  And  the  disciples  did  as  Jesus  appointed  them-;  and 

20  they  made  ready  the  passover.  Now  when  even 
was  come,  he  was  sitting  at  meat  with  the  twelve 

21  "disciples;  and  as  they  were  eating,  he  said.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  that  one  of  you  shall  betray  me. 

22  And  they  were  exceeding  sorrowful,  and  began  to 
23 say  unto  him  every  one.  Is   it  I,  Lord?     And  he 

answered  and  said.  He  that  dipped  his  hand  with  me 

24  in  the  dish,  the  same  shall  betray  me.  The  Son  of 
man  goeth,  even  as  it  is  written  of  him :  but  woe 
unto  that  man  through  whom  the  Son  of  man  is  be- 
trayed !  good    were  it  ^for  that  man   if  he  had  not 

25  been  born.  And  Ju'das,  which  betrayed  him,  an- 
swered and  said.  Is  it  I,  Rabbi?     He  saith  unto  him, 

26  Thou  hast  said.  And  as  they  were  eating,  Jesus  took 
'bread,  and  blessed,  and  brake  it ;  and  he  gave  to  the 

27 disciples,  and  said.  Take,  eat;  this  is  my  body.  And 
he  took  *a  cup,  and  gave  thanks,  and  gave  to  them, 

28 saying,  Drink  ye  all  of  it;  for  this  is  my  blood  of 
^thc'  ^covenant,  which  is  shed  for  many  unto  remis- 

29sion  of  sins.  But  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  drink 
henceforth  of  this  fruit  of  the  vine,  until  that  day 
when  I  drink  it  new  with  you  in  my  Father's 
kingdom. 

30  And  when  they  had  sung  a  hymn,  they  went  out 
unto  the  mount  of  Olives. 

31  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  them.  All  ye  shall  be  ^of- 
fended in  me  this  night :  for  it  is  written,  I  will  smite 
the  shepherd,  and  the  sheep  of  the  flock   shall  be 

32  scattered  abroad.     But  after  I  am  raised  up,  I  will 

33  go  before  you  into  Gal'i-lee.  But  Pe'teranswered  and 
said  unto  him,  If  all  shall  be  ^offended  in  thee,  I  will 

34  never  be  'offended.  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Verily  I 
say  unto  thee,  that  this  night,  before  the  cock  crow, 

35  thou  shalt  deny  me  thrice.  Pe'ter  saith  unto  him. 
Even  if  I  must  die  with  thee,  yet  will  I  not  deny 
thee.     Likewise  also  said  all  the  disciples. 

36  Then  cometh  Jesus  with  them  unto  *a  place  called 
Geth-sem'a-ne,  and  saith  unto  his  disciples.  Sit  ye  here, 

37  while  I  go  yonder  and  pray.  And  he  took  with  him 
Pe'ter  and  the  two  sons  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  began  to  be 

38  sorrowful  and  sore  troubled.  Then  saith  he  unto 
them.  My  soul   is   exceeding  sorrowful,   even  unto 

39  death  :  abide  ye  here,  and  watch  with  me.  And  he 
went  forward  a  little,  and  fell  on  his  face,  and  prayed, 
saying,  O  my  Father,  if  it  be  possible,  let  this  cup 
pass  away  from  me:  nevertheless,  not  as  I  will,  bat 

40  as  thou  wilt.  And  he  cometh  unto  the  disciple.s,  and 
findeth  them  sleeping,  and  saith  unto  Pe'ter,  What, 

41  could  ye  not  watch  with  me  one  hour?  'Watch 
and  pray,   that   ye   enter   not  into   temptation:  the 

42  spirit  indeed  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak.  Again 
a  second  time  he  went  away,  and  prayed,  saying,  O 
my  Father,  if  this  cannot  pass  away,  except  I  drink 

43  it,  thy  will  be  done.     And  he  came  again  and  found 

44  them  sleeping,  for  their  eyes  were  heavy.  And  he 
left  them  again,  and  went  away,  and  prayed  a  third 

45  time,  saying  again  the  .same  words.  Then  cometh 
he  to  the  disciples,  and  saith  unto  them,  Sleep  on 
now,  and  take  your  rest :  behold,  the  hour  is  at  hand, 
and  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  unto  the  hands  of 

46  sinners.  Arise,  let  us  be  going :  behold,  he  is  at 
hand  that  betrayeth  me. 

47  And  while  he  yet  spake,  lo,  Ju'das,  one  of  the  twelve, 
came,  and  with  him  a  great  multitude  with  swords 
and  staves,  from  the  chief  priests  and  elders  of  the 

48  people.  Now  he  that  betrayed  him  gave  them  a  sign, 
saying,  Whomsoever  I  shall  kiss,  that  is  he :  lake  him.

49  And  forthwith  he  came  to  Jesus,  and  said,  Hail,  Mas- 
ter; 'and  kissed  him. 

50  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  'Friend,  wherefore  art  thou 
come  ?  Then  came  they,  and  laid  hands  on  Jesus,  and  took 
him. 

51  And,  behold,  'one  of  them  -which  were  with  Jesus 
stretched  out  his  hand,  and  drew  his  sword,  and  struck  a 
servant  of  the  high  priest,  and  smote  off  his  ear. 

52  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  Put  up  again  thy  sword  into 
his  place:  "for  all  they  that  take  the  sword  shall  perish 
with  the  sword. 

53  Thinkest  thou  that  I  cannot  now  pray  to  my  Father, 
and  he  shall  presently  give  me  'more  than  twelve  legions 
of  angels  ? 

54  But  how  then  shall  the  Scriptures  be  fulfilled,  "that  thus 
it  must  be  ? 

55  In  that  same  hour  said  Jesus  to  the  multitudes.  Are  ye 
come  out  as  against  a  thief  with  swords  and  staves  for  to 
take  me?  I  sat  daily  with  you  teaching  in  the  temple,  and 
ye  laid  no  hold  on  me. 

56  But  all  this  was  done,  that  the  'Scriptures  of  the 
prophets  might  be  fulfilled.  Then  "all  the  disciples  forsook 
him,  and  fled. 

57  ^'And  they  that  had  laid  hold  on  Jesus  led  him  away 
to  Ca'ia-phas  the  high  priest,  where  the  scribes  and  the 
elders  were  assembled. 

58  But  Pe'ter  followed  him  afar  off  unto  the  high  priest's 
palace,  and  went  in,  and  sat  with  the  servants,  to  see  the  end. 

59  Now  the  chief  priests,  and  elders,  and  all  the  council, 
sought  false  witness  against  Jesus,  to  put  him  to  death ; 

60  But  found  none :  yea,  though  "many  false  witnesses  came, 
yet  found  they  none.     At  the  last  came  "'two  false  witnesses, 

61  And  said,  This  fellow  said,  'I  am  able  to  destroy  the 
temple  of  God,  and  to  build  it  in  three  days. 

62  ^And  the  high  priest  arose,  and  said  unto  him, 
Answerest  thou  nothing?  what  ia  it  which  these  witness 
against  thee? 

63  But  "Jesus  held  his  peace.  And  the  high  priest  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  *I  adjure  thee  by  the  living  God,  that 
thou  tell  us  whether  thou  be  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God. 

64  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Thou  hast  said :  nevertheless  I  say 
unto  you,  'Hereafter  shall  ye  see  the  Son  of  man  *sitting  on 
the  right  hand  of  power,  and  coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven. 

65  'Then  the  high  priest  rent  his  clothes,  saying,  He  hath 
spoken  blasphemy;  what  further  need  have  we  of  wit- 
nesses? behold,  now  ye  have  heard  his  blasphemy. 

66  What  think  ye?  They  answered  and  said,  "He  is 
guilty  of  death. 

67  "Then  did  they  spit  in  his  face,  and  buffeted  him ;  and 
"others  smote  him  with  ||  the  palms  of  their  hands, 

68  Saying,  "Prophesy  unto  us,  thou  Christ,  Who  is  he  that 
smote  thee? 

69  VNow  Pe'ter  sat  without  in  the  palace :  and  a  damsel 
came  unto  him,  saying,  Thou  also  wast  with  Jesus  of  Gal'i-lee. 

70  But  he  denied  before  them  all,  saying,  I  know  not  what 
thou  sayest. 

71  And  when  he  was  gone  out  into  the  porch,  another 
maid  saw  him,  and  said  unto  them  that  were  there.  This 
fellow  was  also  with  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth. 

72  And  again  he  denied  with  an  oath,  I  do  not  know  the 
man. 

73  And  after  a  while  came  unto  him  they  that  stood  by, 
and  said  to  Pe'ter,  Surely  thou  also  art  one  of  them ;  for  thy 
""speech  bewrayeth  thee. 

74  Then  'began  he  to  curse  and  to  swear,  saying,  I  know 
not  the  man.     And  immediately  the  cock  crew. 

75  And  Pe'ter  remembered  the  word  of  Jesus,  which  said 
unto  him,  'Before  the  cock  crow,  thou  shalt  deny  me  thrice. 
And  he  went  out,  and  wept  bitterly. 


49  And  straightway  he  came  to  Jesus,  and  said.  Hail, 

50 Rabbi;  and  'kissed  him.     And  Jesus  said  unto  him, 

Friend,  do   that  for  which  thou  art  come.     Then 

they  came  and  laid  hands  on  Jesus,  and  took  him. 

51  And  behold,  one  of  them  that  were  with  Jesus 
stretched  out  his  hand,  and  drew  his  sword,  and 
smote  the  ^servant  of  the  high  priest,  and  struck  off 

52  his  ear.  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  him,  Put  up  again 
thy  sword  into  its  place:  for  all  they  that  take  the 

53  sword  shall  perish  with  the  sword.  Or  thinkest  thou 
that  I  cannot  beseech  my  Father,  and  he  shall  even 
now  send  me  more  than   twelve  legions  of  angels  ? 

54  How  then  should  the  scriptures  be  fulfilled,  that  thus 
55 it  must  be?     In  that  hour  said  Jesus  to  the  multi 

tudes.  Are  ye  come  out  as  against  a  robber  with 
swords  and  staves  to  seize  me?     I  sat  daily  in  the 

56  temple  teaching,  and  ye  took  me  not.  But  all  this 
is  come  to  pass,  that  the  scriptures  of  the  prophets 
might  be  fulfilled.  Then  all  the  disciples  left  him, 
and  fled. 

57  And  they  that  had  taken  Jesus  led  him  away  to 
the   house  of  Ca'ia-phas  the  high  priest,  where  the 

58  scribes  and  the  elders  were  gathered  together.  But 
Pe'ter  followed  him  afar  off,  unto  the  court  of  the 
high  priest,  and  entered  in,  and  sat  with  the  officers, 

59  to  see  the  end.  Now  the  chief  priests  and  the  whole 
council  sought  false  witness  against  Jesus,  that  they 

60 might  put  him  to  death;  and  they  found  it  not, 
though  many  false  witnesses  came.     But  afterward 

61  came  two,  and  said,  This  man  said,  I  am  able  to  de- 
stroy the  'temple  of  God,  and  to  build  it  in   three 

62  days.  And  the  high  priest  stood  up,  and  said  unto 
him,  Answerest  thou   nothing?    what   is   it  which 

63 these  witness  against  thee?  But  Jesus  held  his 
peace.  And  the  high  priest  said  unto  him,  I  adjure 
thee  by  the  living  God,  that  thou  tell  us  whether 

64  thou  be  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God.  Jesus  saith 
unto  hipi,  Thou  hast  said :  nevertheless  I  say  unto 
you.  Henceforth  ye  shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting 
at  the  right  hand  of  power,  and  coming  on  the  clouds 

65  of  heaven.  Then  the  high  priest  rent  his  garments, 
saying,  He  hath  spoken  blasphemy:  what  further 
need  have  we  of  witnesses?    behold,  now  ye  have 

66  heard  the  blasphemy :    what  think  ye  ?     They  an- 

67  swered  and  said,  He  is  Vorthy  of  death.  Then  did 
they  spit  in  his  face  and  buffet  him :  and  some  smote 

68  him  'with  the  palms  of  their  hands,  saying,  Prophesy 
unto  us, thou  Christ:  who  is  he  that  struck  thee? 

69  Now  Pe'ter  was  sitting  without  in  the  court :  and 
a  maid  came  unto  him,  saying,  Thou  also  wast  with 

70  Jesus  the  Gal-i-lse'an.    But  he  denied  before  them  all, 

71  saying,  I  know  not  what  thou  sayest.  And  when 
he  was  gone  out  into  the  porch,  another  maid  saw 
him,  and  saith  unto  them  that  were  there,  This  man 

72  also  was  with  Jesus  the  Naz'a-rene.     And  again  he 

73  denied  with  an  oath,  I  know  not  the  man.  And 
after  a  little  while  they  that  stood  by  came  and  said 
to  Pe'ter,  Of  a  truth  thou  also  art  one  of  them ;  for 

74  thy  speech  bewrayeth  thee.  Then  began  he  to  curse 
and  to  swear,  I  know  not  the  man.     And  straight- 

75  way  the  cock  crew.  And  Pe'ter  remembered  the 
word  which  Jesus  had  said.  Before  the  cock  crow, 
thou  shall  deny  me  thrice.  And  he  went  out,  and 
wept  bitterly.

CHAPTER    XXVII. 

Christ  delivered  to  Pilate— Judas  hangeth  himself— Christ  is  crucified. 

WHEN  the  morning  was  come,  "all  the  chief  priests  and 
elders  of  the  people  took  counsel  against  Jesus  to  put 
him  to  death : 

2  And  when  they  had  bound  him  they  led  Aim  away,  and 
delivered  him  to  Pon'ti-us  Pi'late  the  governor. 

3  ^°Then  Ju'das,  which  had  betrayed  him,  when  he  saw 
that  he  was  condemned,  repented  himself,  and  brought  again 
the  thirty  pieces  of  silver  to  the  chief  priests  and  elders, 

4  Saying,  I  have  sinned  in  that  I  have  betrayed  the  innocent 
blood.     And  they  said,  What  is  that  to  us  ?  see  thou  to  that. 

5  And  he  cast  down  the  pieces  of  silver  in  the  temple,  ''and 
departed,  and  went  and  hanged  himself. 

6  And  the  chief  priests  took  the  silver  pieces,  and  said.  It 
is  not  lawful  for  to  put  them  into  the  treasury,  because  it 
is  the  price  of  blood. 

7  And  they  took  counsel,  and  bought  with  them  the  pot- 
ter's field,  to  bury  strangers  in. 

8  Wherefore  that  field  was  called,  'The  field  of  blood,  unto 
this  day. 

9  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which  was  spoken  by  Jer'e-my 
the  prophet,  saying,  •'And  they  took  the  thirty  pieces  of 
silver,  the  price  of  him  that  was  valued,  1|  whom  they  of  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el  did  value ; 

10  And  gave  them  for  the  potter's  field,  as  the  Lord  ap- 
pointed me. 

11  And  Jesus  stood  before  the  governor:  "and  the  gov- 
ernor asked  him,  saying.  Art  thou  the  King  of  the  Jews  ? 
And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  ''Thou  sayest. 

12  And  when  he  was  accused  of  the  chief  priests  and  elders, 
'he  answered  nothing. 

13  Then  saith  Pi'late  unto  him,  *Hearest  thou  not  how 
many  things  they  witness  against  thee? 

14  And  he  answered  him  to  never  a  word;  insomuch  that 
the  governor  marvelled  greatly. 

15  'Now  at  that  feast  the  governor  was  wont  to  release 
unto  the  people  a  prisoner,  whom  they  would. 

16  And  they  had  then  a  notable  prisoner,  called  Ba-rab'bas. 

17  Therefore  when  they  were  gathered  together,  Pi'late 
said  unto  them.  Whom  will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you? 
Ba-rab'bas,  or  Jesus  which  is  called  Christ  ? 

18  1  or  he  knew  that  for  envy  they  had  delivered  him. 

19  ^When  he  was  set  down  on  the  judgment  seat,  his 
wife  sent  unto  him,  saying.  Have  thou  nothing  to  do  with 
that  just  man :  for  I  have  suffered  many  things  this  day  in 
a  dream  because  of  him. 

20  "But  the  chief  priests  and  elders  persuaded  the  multi- 
tude that  they  should  ask  Ba-rab'bas,  and  destroy  Jesus. 

21  The  governor  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Whether  of 
the  twain  will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you?  They  said,  Ba-rab'bas. 

22  Pi'late  saith  unto  them.  What  shall  I  do  then  with  Jesus, 
which  is  called  Christ?  They  all  say  unto  him.  Let  him  be 
crucified. 

23  And  the  governor  said,  Why,  what  evil  hath  he  done? 
But  they  cried  out  the  more,  saying.  Let  him  be  crucified. 

24  *([When  Pi'late  saw  that  he  could  prevail  nothing,  but 
that  rather  a  tumult  was  made,  he  "took  water,  and  washed 
his  hands  before  the  multitude,  saying,  I  am  innocent  of  the 
blood  of  this  just  person :  see  ye  to  it. 

25  Then  answered  all  the  people  and  said,  "His  blood  be 
on  us,  and  on  our  children. 

26  ^Then  released  he  Ba-rab'bas  unto  them :  and  when  "he 
had  scourged  Jesus,  he  delivered  him  to  be  crucified. 

27  «Then  the  soldiersof  the  governortook  Jesus  into  the  |  |com- 
mon  hall,  and  gathered  unto  him  the  whole  band  of  soldiers. 

28  And  they  stripped  him,  and  'put  on  him  a  scarlet  robe. 

29  T['And  when  they  had  platted  a  crown  of  thorns,  they 
put  it  upon  his  head,  and  a  reed  in  his  right  hand:  and 


^  ♦  Now  when  morning  was  come  all  the  chief  priests 
and  the  elders  of  the  people  took  counsel  against 

2  Jesus  to  put  him  to  death :  and  they  bound  him,  and 
led  him  away,  and  delivered  him  up  to  Pi'late  the 
governor. 

3  Then  Ju'das,  which  betrayed  him,  when  he  saw 
that  he  was  condemned,  repented  himself,  and  brought 
back  the  thirty  pieces  of  silver  to  the  chief  priests 

4  and  elders,  saying,  I  have  sinned  in  that  I  betrayed 
'innocent  blood.     But  they  said.  What  is  that  to  us  ? 

5  see  thou  to  it.  And  he  cast  down  the  pieces  of  silver 
into  the  sanctuary,  and  departed ;  and  he  went  away 

6  and  hanged  himself.  And  the  chief  priests  took  the 
pieces  of  silver,  and  said,  It  is  not  lawful  to  put  them 
into  the  treasury,  since  it  is  the  price  of  blood. 

7  And  they  took  counsel,  and  bought  with  them  the 

8  potter's  field,  to  bury  strangers  in.  Wherefore  that 
field  was  called.  The  field  of  blood,  unto  this  day. 

9  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which  was  spoken  'by  Jer-e- 
mi'ah  the  prophet,  saying.  And  Hhey  took  the  thirty 
pieces  of  silver,  the  price  of  him  that  was  priced, 
"whom  certain  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  did  price : 

10  and  'they  gave  them  for  the  potter's  field,  as  the 
Lord  appointed  me. 

11  Now  Jesus  stood  before  the  governor:  and  the 
governor  asked  him,  saying,  Art  thou  the  King  of 
the  Jews?     And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thou  sayest. 

12  And  when  he  was  accused  by  the  chief  priests  and 

13  elders,  he  answered  nothing.  Then  saith  Pi'late 
unto  him,  Hearest  thou  not  how  many  things  they 

14 witness  against  thee?  And  he  gave  him  no  answer, 
not  even  to  one  word :  insomuch  that  the  governor 

15  marvelled  greatly.  Now  at  'the  feast  the  governor 
was  wont  to  release  unto  the  multitude  one  prisoner, 

16  whom  they  would.     And  they  had  then  a  notable 

17  prisoner,  called  Ba-rab'bas.  When  therefore  they  were 
gathered  together,  Pi'late  said  unto  them.  Whom  will 
ye  that   I   release  unto  you?  Ba-rab'bas,  or  Jesus 

18 which  is  called  Christ?  For  he  knew  that  for  envy 

19  they  had  delivered  him  up.  And  while  he  was  sit- 
ting on  the  judgment  seat,  his  wife  sent  unto  him, 
saying,  Have  thou  nothing  to  do  with  that  righteous 
man :  for  I  have  suffered  many  things  this  day  in  a 

20  dream  because  of  him.  Now  the  chief  priests  and 
the  elders  persuaded  the  multitudes  that  they  should 

21  ask  for  Ba-rab'bas,  and  destroy  Jesus.  But  the  gover- 
nor answered  and  said  unto  them.  Whether  of  the 
twain  will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you?   And  they 

22  said,  Ba-rab'bas.  Pi'late  saith  unto  them,  What  then 
shall  I  do  unto  Jesus  which  is  called  Christ?  They 

23  all  say.  Let  him  be  crucified.  And  he  said,  Why, 
what  evil  hath  he  done?   But  they  cried  out  ex- 

24ceedingly,  saying.  Let  him  be  crucified.  So  when 
Pi'late  saw  that  he  prevailed  nothing,  but  rather  that 
a  tumult  was  arising,  he  took  water,  and  washed  his 
hands  before  the  multitude,  saying,  I  am  innocent 
'of  the   blood  of  this  righteous  man :    see  ye  to  it. 

25  And  all  the  people  answered  and  said.  His  blood  be 

26  on  us,  and  on  our  children.  Then  released  he  unto 
them  Ba-rab'bas :  but  Jesus  he  scourged  and  delivered 
to  be  crucified. 

27  Then  the  soldiers  of  the  governor  took  Jesus  into 
the  'palace,  and  gathered  unto  him  the  whole  '"band. 

28  And  they  "stripped  him,  and  put  on  him  a  scarlet 

29  robe.  And  they  plaited  a  crown  of  thorns  and  put 
it  upon  his  head,  and  a  reed  in  his  right  hand ;  and

they  bowed  the  knee  before  him,  and  mocked  him,  saying, 
Hail,  King  of  the  Jews! 

30  And  'they  spit  upon  him,  and  took  the  reed,  and  smote 
him  on  the  head. 

31  And  after  that  they  had  mocked  him,  they  took  the 
robe  off  from  him,  and  put  his  own  raiment  on  him,  "and 
led  him  away  to  crucify  him. 

32  ""And  as  they  came  out,  "they  found  a  man  of  Cy-re'ne, 
Si'mon  by  name :  him  they  compelled  to  bear  his  cross. 

33  ^"And  when  they  were  come  unto  a  place  called  Gol'- 
go-tha,  that  is  to  say,  A  place  of  a  skull, 

34  "They  gave  him  vinegar  to  drink  mingled  with  gall: 
and  when  he  had  tasted  thereof,  he  would  not  drink. 

35  ''And  they  crucified  him,  and  parted  his  garments,  cast- 
ing lots :  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  Avas  spoken  by  the 
prophet,  'They  parted  my  garments  among  them,  and  upon 
my  vesture  did  they  cast  lots. 

36  ''And  sitting  down  they  watched  him  there ; 

37  And  'set  up  over  his  head  his  accusation  written,  THIS 
IS  JESUS  THE  KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

38  -Then  were  there  two  thieves  crucified  with  him ;  one 
on  the  right  hand,  and  another  on  the  left. 

39  ^  And'they  that  passed  by  reviled  him,waggingtheir  heads, 

40  And  saying,  ''Thou  that  destroyest  the  temple,  and 
buildest  it  in  three  days,  save  thyself.  'If  thou  be  the  Son 
of  God,  come  down  from  the  cross. 

41  Likewise  also  the  chief  priests  mocking  him,  with  the 
scribes  and  elders,  said, 

42  He  saved  others,  himself  he  cannot  save.  If  he  be 
the  King  of  Is'ra-el,  let  him  now  come  down  from  the 
cross,  and  we  will  believe  him. 

43  'He  trusted  in  God;  let  him  deliver  him  now,  if  he 
will  have  him :  for  he  said,  I  am  the  Son  of  God. 

44  'The  thieves  also,  which  were  crucified  with  him,  cast 
the  same  in  his  teeth. 

45  "Now  from  the  sixth  hour  there  was  darkness  over  all 
the  land  unto  the  ninth  hour. 

46  And  about  the  ninth  hour  "Jesus  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  saying,  E'li,  E'li,  la'ma  sa-baeh-tha'ni  ?  that  is  to  say, 
"My  God,  my  God,  why  hast  thou  forsaken  me? 

47  Some  of  them  that  stood  there,  when  they  heard  that, 
said,  This  vian  calleth  for  E-li'as. 

48  And  straightway  one  of  them  ran,  and  took  a  sponge,  ?and 
filled  itwith  vinegar,  and  put  it  on  areed,andgavehirD  to  drink. 

49  The  rest  said,  Let  be,  let  us  see  whether  E-li'as  will 
come  to  save  him. 

50  ^'Jesus,  when  he  had  cried  again  with  a  loud  voice, 
yielded  up  the  ghost. 

51  And,  behold,  'the  veil  of  the  temple  was  rent  in  twain 
from  the  top  to  the  bottom;  and  the  earth  did  quake,  and 
the  rocks  rent; 

52  And  the  graves  were' opened ;  and  many  bodies  of  the 
saints  which  slept  arose, 

53  And  came  out  of  the  graves  after  his  resurrection,  and 
went  into  the  holy  city,  and  appeared  unto  many. 

54  'Now  when  the  centurion,  and  they  that  were  with  him, 
watching  Jesus,  saw  the  earthquake  and  those  things  that  were 
done,  they  feared  greatly,  saying,  Truly  this  was  the  Son  of  God. 

55  And  many  women  were  there  beholding  afar  off,  'which 
followed  Jesus  from  Gal'i-lee,  ministering  unto  him  : 

56  "Among  which  was  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne,  and  Ma'ry  the 
mother  of  James  and  Jo'ses,  and  the  mother  of  Zeb'e-dee's 
children. 

57  'When  the  even  was  come,  there  came  a  rich  man  of  Ar-i- 
ma-the'a,  named  Jo'seph,  who  also  himself  was  Jesus'  disciple: 

58  He  went  to  Pi'late,  and  begged  the  body  of  Jesus.  Then 
Pi'iate  commanded  the  body  to  oe  delivered. 

69  And  when  Jo'seph  had  taken  the  body,  he  wrapped  it 
in  a  clean  linen  cloth', 


they  kneeled  down  before   him,  and   mocked  him, 

30 saying,  Hail,  King  of  the  Jews!     And  they  spat 

upon  him,  and  took  the  reed  and  smote  him  on  the 

31  head.  And  when  they  had  mocked  him,  they  took 
off  from  him  the  robe,  and  put  on  him  his  garments, 
and  led  him  away  to  crucify  him. 

32  And  as  they  came  out,  they  found  a  man  of 
Cy-re'ne,  Si'mon  by  name  :  him  they  'compelled  to 

33 go  with  them,  that  he  might  bear  his  cross.  And 
when  they  were  come  unto  a  place  called  Gol'go-tha, 

34  that  is  to  say.  The  place  of  a  skull,  they  gave  him 
wine  to  drink  mingled  with  gall :  and  when  he  had 

35  tasted  it,  he  would  not  drink.  And  when  they  had 
crucified  him,  they  parted  his  garments  among  them, 

36 casting  lots:  and  they  sat  and  watched  him  there. 

37  And  they  set  up  over  his  head  his  accusation  written, 

38  THIS  IS  JESUS  THE  KING  OF  THE  JEWS.  Then  are 
there  crucified  with  him  two  robbers,  one  on  the 

39 right  hand,  and   one  on.  the  left.     And  they  that 

40  passed  by  railed  on  him,  wagging  their  heads,  and 
saying.  Thou  that  destroyest  the  ^temple,  and  build 
est  it  in  three  days,  save  thyself:    if  thou  art  the 

41  Son  of  God,  come  down  from  the  cross.  In  like 
manner    also   the  chief  priests   mocking  him,  with 

42  the  scribes  and  elders,  said,  He  saved  others ;  him- 
self he  cannot  save.  He  is  the  King  of  Is'ra-el; 
let  him  now  come  down  from  the  cross,  and  we  will 

43 believe  on  him.  He  trusteth  on  God;  let  him  de- 
liver him  now,  if  he  desireth  him :  for  he  said,  I  am 

44  the  Son  of  God.  And  the  robbers  also  that  were 
crucified  with  him  cast  upon  him  the  same  re' 
proaeh. 

45  Now  from  the  sixth  hour  there  was  darkness  over 

46  all  the  ^land  until  the  ninth  hour.  And  about  the 
ninth  hour  Jesus  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying, 
E'li,  E'li,  la'ma  sa-bach-tha'ni  ?  that  is.  My  God,  my 

47  God,  "why  hast  thou  forsaken  me?  And  some  of 
them   that  stood   there,  when  they  heard  it,  said, 

48  This  man  calleth  E-li'jah.  And  straightway  one  of 
them  ran,  and  took  a  sponge,  and  filled  it  with 
vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a  reed,  and  gave  him  to  drink. 

49  And  the  rest  said,  Let  be ;  let  us  see  whether  E-Ii'jah 

50  Cometh  to  save  him.^     And  Jesus  cried  again  with  a 

51  loud  voice,  and  yielded  up  his  spirit.  And  behold, 
the  veil  of  the  Hemple  was  rent  in  twain  from  the 
top  to  the   bottom ;  and  the   earth   did  quake ;  and 

52 the  rocks  were  rent;  and  the  tombs  were  opened; 

and  many  bodies  of  the  saints  that  had  fallen  asleep 
53 were  raised;  and   coming  forth  out  of  the  tombs 

after  his  resurrection  they  entered  into  the  holy  city 

54  and  appeared  unto  many.  Now  the  centurion,  and 
they  that  were  with  him  watching  Jesus,  when  they 
saw  the  earthquake,  and  the  things  that  were  done, 
feared  exceedingly,  saying.  Truly  this  was  'the  Son 

55  of  God.  And  many  women  were  there  beholding 
from  afar,  which  had  followed  Jesus  from  Gal'i-lee, 

56  ministering  unto  him :  among  whom  was  Ma'ry 
Mag-da-le^e,  and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of  James  and 
Jo'ses,  and  the  mother  of  the  sons  of  Zeb'e-dee. 

57  And  when  even  was  come,  there  came  a  rich 
man  from  Ar-i-ma-thse'a,  named  Jo'seph,  who  also 

58 himself  was  Jesus'  disciple:  this  man  went  to  Pi'late, 
and  asked   for  the   body  of  Jesus.     Then    Pi'late 

59  commanded  it  to  be  given  up.  And  Jo'seph  took 
the  body,  and  wrapped  it  in  a  clean   linen  cloth^

60  And  "laid  it  in  his  own  new  tomb,  which  he  had  hewn 
out  in  the  rock:  and  he  rolled  a  great  stone  to  the  door  of 
the  sepulchre,  and  departed. 

61  And  there  was  Ma'ry  Mag-da-Ie'ne,  and  the  other  Ma'ry, 
sitting  over  against  the  sepulchre. 

62  "^Now  the  next  day,  that  followed  the  day  of  the  prep- 
aration, the  chief  priests  and  Phar'i-sees  came  together  unto 
Pi'late, 

63  Saying,  Sir,  we  remember  that  that  deceiver  said,  while 
he  was  yet  alive,  'After  three  days  I  will  rise  again. 

64  Command  therefore  that  the  sepulchre  be  made  sure 
until  the  third  day,  lest  his  disciples  come  by  night,  and 
steal  him  away,  and  .say  unto  the  people.  He  is  risen  from 
the  dead :  so  the  last  error  shall  be  worse  than  the  first. 

65  Pi'late  said  unto  them.  Ye  have  a  watch:  go  your  way, 
make  it  as  sure  as  ye  can. 

66  So  they  went,  and  made  the  sepulchre  sure,  "sealing  the 
,stone,  and  setting  a  watch. 

CHAPTER   XXVIII. 

Christ's  resurrection  declared— Sendeth  his  disciples  to  teach  and  baptize. 

IN  the  "end  of  the  sabbath,  as  it  began  to  dawn  toward  the 
first  day  of  the  week,  came  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne  ''and  the 
other  Ma'ry  to  see  the  sepulchre. 

2  And,  behold,  there  ||was  a  great  earthquake:  for  "^he 
angel  of  the  Lord  descended  from  heaven,  and  came  and 
rolled  back  the  stone  from  the  door,  and  sat  upon  it. 

3  ''His  countenance  was  like  lightning,  and  his  raiment 
white  as  snow : 

4  And  for  fear  of  him  the  keepers  did  shake,  and  became 
as  dead  men. 

5  And  the  angel  answered  and  said  unto  the  women.  Fear 
not  ye :  for  I  know  that  ye  seek  Jesus,  which  was  crucified. 

6  He  is  not  here :  for  he  has  risen,  'as  he  said.  Come, 
see  the  place  where  the  Lord  lay. 

7  And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his  disciples  that  he  is  risen 
from  the  dead ;  and,  behold,  -^he  goeth  before  you  into  Gal'i- 
lee;  there  shall  ye  see  him :  lo,  I  have  told  you. 

8  And  they  departed  quickly  from  the  sepulchre  with 
fear  and  great  joy;  and  did  run  to  bring  his  disciples  word. 

9  ^And  as  they  went  to  tell  his  disciples,  behold,  "Jesus 
met  them,  saying,  All  hail.  And  they  came  and  held  him 
by  the  feet,  and  worshipped  him. 

10  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them.  Be  not  afraid :  go  tell  *my 
brethren  that  they  go  into  Gal'i-lee,  and  there  shall  they 
see  me. 

11  ^Now  when  they  were  going,  behold,  some  of  the 
watch  came  into  the  city,  and  shewed  unto  the  chief  priests 
all  the  things  that  were  done. 

12  And  when  they  were  assembled  with  the  elders,  and 
had  taken  counsel,  they  gave  large  money  unto  the  soldiers, 

13  Saying,  Say  ye.  His  disciples  came  by  night,  and  stole 
him  away  while  we  slept. 

14  And  if  this  come  to  the  governor's  ears,  we  will  per- 
suade him,  and  secure  you. 

15  So  they  took  the  money,  and  did  as  they  were  taught: 
and  this  saying  is  commonly  reported  among  the  Jews  until 
this  day. 

16  %Then  the  eleven  disciples  went  away  into  Gal'i-lee, 
into  a  mountain  'where  Jesus  had  appointed  them. 

17  And  when  they  saw  him,  they  worshipped  him:  but 
some  doubted. 

18  And  Jesus  came,  and  spake  unto  them,  saying,  *A11 
power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth. 

19  ^'Go  ye  therefore,  and  "H  teach  all  nations,  baptizing 
them  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the 
Holy  Ghost: 

20  "Teaching  them  to  observe  all  things  whatsoever  I  have 
commanded  you:  and,  lo,  I  am  with  you  alway,  even  unto 
the  end  of  the  world.     Amen. 


60  and  laid  it  in  his  own  new  tomb,  which  he  had 
hewn  out  in  the  rock :  and  he  rolled  a  great  stone 

61  to  the  door  of  the  tomb,  and  departed.  And  Ma'ry 
Mag-da-le'ne  was  there,  and  the  other  Ma'ry,  sitting 
over  against  the  sepulchre. 

62  Now  on  the  morrow,  which  is  the  day  after  th« 
Preparation,  the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar'i-sees  were 

63  gathered  together  unto  Pi'late,  saying.  Sir,  we  remem- 
ber that  that  deceiver  said,   while  he  was  yet  alive, 

64  After  three  days  I  rise  again.  Command  therefore 
that  the  sepulchre  be  made  sure  until  the  third  day, 
lest  haply  his  disciples  come  and  steal  him  away, 
and  say  unto  the  people.  He  is  risen  from  the  dead : 
and  the  last   error   will    be   worse   than   the   first. 

65 Pi'late  said  unto  them,  'Ye  have  a  guard:    go  your 
66  way,  ^make  it  a«  sure  as  ye  can.     So  they  went,  and 

made  the  sepulchre  sure,  sealing  the  stone,  the  guard 

being  with  them. 

^O  Now  late  on  the  sabbath  day,  as  it  began  to 
dawn  toward  the  first  day  of  the  week,  came  Ma'ry 
Mag-da-le'ne  and  the  other  Ma'ry  to  see  the  sepulchre 

2  And  behold,  there  was  a  great  earthquake;  for  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  descended  from  heaven,  and  came 

Band  rolled  away  the  stone,  and  sat  upon  it.  His 
appearance  was  as  lightning,  and  his  raiment  white 

4 as  snow:   and  for  fear   of  him    the  watchers    did 

5  quake,  and  became  as  dead  men.  And  the  angel 
answered  and  said  unto  the  women.  Fear  not  ye: 
for  I  know  that  ye  seek  Jesus,    which   hath    been 

6  crucified.  He  is  not  here ;  for  he  is  risen,  even  as 
he  said.     Come,  see  the  place  'where  the  Lord  lay. 

7  And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his  disciples,  He  is  risen 
from  the  dead;  and  lo,  he  goeth  before  you  into 
Gal'i-lee;  there  shall  ye  see  him:  lo,  I  have  told  you 

8  And  they  departed  quickly  from  the  tomb  with  fear 
and  great  joy,  and  ran  to  bring  his  disciples  word. 

9  And  behold,  Jesus  met  them,  saying.  All  hail.  And 
they  came  and  took  hold  of  his  feet,  and  worshipped 

10 him.  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  them,  Fear  not:  go 
tell  my  brethren  that  they  depart  into  Gal'i-lee,  and 
there  shall  they  see  me. 

11  Now  while  they  were  going,  behold,  some  of  the 
guard  came  into  the  city,  and  told  unto  the  chief 

12  priests  all  the  things  that  were  come  to  pass.  And 
when  they  were  assembled  with  the  elders,  and  had 
taken  counsel,  they    gave    large    money   unto   the 

13  soldiers,    saying,    Say    ye,   His   disciples  came    by 

14  night,  and  stole  him  away  while  we  slept.  And  if 
this  ^come  to  the  governor's  ears,  we  will  persuade 

15  him,  and  rid  you  of  care.  So  they  took  the  money, 
and  did  as  they  were  taught:  and  this  saying  was 
spread  abroad  among  the  Jews,  and  continueth  until 
this  day. 

16  But  the  eleven  disciples  went  into  Gal'i-lee,  unto 
the    mountain    where    Jesus   had   appointed    them. 

17  And  when  they  saw  him,  they  worshipped  him:  but 

18  some  doubted.  And  Jesus  came  to  them  and  spake 
unto  them,   saying.    All   authority  hath  been  given 

19  unto  me  in  heaven  and  on  earth.  Go  ye  therefore, 
and  make  disciples  of  all  the  nations,  baptizing  them 
into  the  name  of  the  Father  and  of  the  Son  and  of 

20 the  Holy  Ghost:  teaching  them  to  observe  all 
things  whatsoever  I  commanded  you:  and  lo,  I 
am  with  you  ''alway,  even  unto  *the  end  of  the 
world.

THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 

S.  MARK. 


CHAPTER    I. 

Jesus  baptized—He  is  tempted— Caileth  Peter  and  others^  and  cureth  many, 

rilHE  beginning  of  the  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ,  "the  Son  of 


T 


God; 


2  As  it  is  written  in  the  prophets,  ''Behold,  I  send  my 
messenger  before  thy  face,  which  shall  prepare  thy  way 
before  thee. 

3  ''The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness.  Prepare  ye 
the  way  of  the  Lord,  make  his  paths  straight. 

4  ■'John  did  baptize  in  the  wilderness,  and  preach  the 
baptism  of  repentance  ||  for  the  remission  of  sins. 

5  'And  there  went  out  unto  him  all  the  land  of  Ju-de'a, 
and  they  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  were  all  baptized  of  him  in 
the  river  of  Jor'dan,  confessing  their  sins. 

6  And  John  was  •'^clothed  with  camel's  hair,  and  with  a  girdle 
of  skin  about  his  loins ;  and  he  did  eat  "locusts  and  wild  honey; 

7  And  preached,  saying,  *There  cometh  one  mightier  than 
I  after  me,  the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am  not  worthy  to 
stoop  down  and  unloose. 

8  *I  indeed  have  baptized  you  with  water:  but  he  shall 
baptize  you  *with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

9  'And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  Jesus  came  from 
Naz'a-reth  of  Gal'i-lee,  and  was  baptized  of  John  in  Jor'dan. 

10  ""And  straightway  coming  up  out  of  the  water,  he  saw 
the  heavens  ||  opened,  and  the  S})irit  like  a  dove  descending 
upon  him: 

11  And  there  came  a  voice  from  heaven,  saying,  "Thou 
art  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased. 

12  "And  immediately  the  Spirit  driveth  him  into  the 
wilderness. 

13  And  he  was  there  in  the  wilderness  forty  days  tempted 
of  Sa'tan ;  and  was  with  the  wild  beasts ;  "and  the  angels 
ministered  unto  him. 

14  'Now  after  that  John  was  put  in  prison,  Jesus  came 
into  Gal'i-lee,  'preaching  the  gospel  of  the  kingdom  of  God, 

15  And  saying,  'The  time  is  fulfilled,  and 'the  kingdom  of 
God  is  at  hand :  repent  ye,  and  believe  the  gospel. 

16  "Now  as  he  walked  by  the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee,  he  saw 
Si'mon  and  An'drew  his  brother  casting  a  net  into  the  sea : 
for  they  were  fishers. 

17  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Come  ye  after  me,  and  1 
will  make  you  to  become  fishers  of  men. 

18  And  straightway  *they  forsook  their  nets,  and  followed 
him. 

19  "And  when  he  had  gone  a  little  further  thence,  he  saw 
James  the  son  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  John  his  brother,  who  also 
were  in  the  ship  mending  their  nets. 

20  And  straightAvay  he  called  them :  and  they  left  their  father 
Zeb'e-dee  in  the  ship  with  the  hired  servants,  and  went  after  him. 

21  'And  they  went  into  Ca-per'na-um;  and  straightway  on 
the  sabbath  day  he  entered  into  the  synagogue,  and  taught. 

22  "And  they  were  astonished  at  his  doctrine :  for  he  taught 
them  as  one  that  had  authority,  and  not  as  the  scribes. 

23  ""And  there  was  in  their  synagogue  a  man  with  an  un- 
clean spirit;  and  he  cried  out, 

24  Saying,  Let  us  alone;  "what  have  we  to  do  with  thee, 
thou  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth  ?  art  thou  come  to  destroy  us  ?  I 
know  thee  who  thou  art,  the  Holy  One  of  God. 

25  And  Jesus  ''rebuked  him,  saying,  Hold  thy  peace,  and 
come  out  of  him. 

26  And  when  the  unclean  spirit  'had  torn  him,  and  cried 
■with  a  loud  voice,  he  came  out  of  him. 


THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 


S.  MARK. 


I 


The  beginning  of  the  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ,  'the 
son  of  God. 

2  Even  as  it  is  written  ^in  I-sa'iah  the  prophet, 
Behold,  I  send  my  messenger  before  thy  face. 
Who  shall  prepare  thy  way; 

3  The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness, 
Make  ye  ready  the  way  of  the  Lord, 
Make  his  paths  straight; 

4  John  came,  who  baptized  in  the  wilderness  and 
preached  the  baptism  of  repentance  unto  remission 

5  of  sins.  And  there  went  out  unto  him  all  the 
country  of  Ju-dse'a,  and  all  they  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and 
they  were  baptized  of  him  in  the  river  Jor'dan,  con 

6fessing  their  sins.  And  John  was  clothed  with 
camel's  hair,  and  had  a  leathern  girdle  about  his 

7  loins,  and  did  eat  locusts  and  wild  honey.  And  he 
preached,  saying,  There  cometh  after  me  he  that  is 
mightier  than  I,  the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am  not 

8  Worthy  to  stoop  down  and  unloose.  I  baptize  you 
Vith  water;  but  he  shall  baptize  you  *with  the 
*Holy  Ghost. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  Jesus 
came  from  Naz'a-reth  of  Gal'i-lee,  and  was  baptized 

10  of  John  'in  the  Jor'dan.  And  straightway  coming 
up  out  of  the  water,  he  saw  the  heavens  rent 
asunder,  and  the  Spirit  as  a  dove  descending  upon 

11  him :  and  a  voice  came  out  of  the  heavens,  Thou 
art  my  beloved  Son,  in  thee  I  am  well  pleased. 

12  And  straightway  the  Spirit  driveth  him  forth  into 

13  the  wilderness.  And  he  was  in  the  wilderness  forty 
days  tempted  of  Sa'tan ;  and  he  Avas  with  the  wild 
beasts;  and  the  angels  ministered  unto  him. 

14  Now  after  that  John  was  delivered  up,  Jesus 
came  into  Gal'i-lee,  preaching  the  gospel  of  God, 

15  and  saying.  The  time  is  fulfilled,  and  the  kingdom 
of  God  is  at  hand:  repent  ye,  and  believe  in  the 
gospel. 

16  And  passing  along  by  the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee,  he  saw 
Si'mon  and  An'drew  the  brother  of  Si'mon  casting 

17a  net  in  the  sea:  for  they  were  fishers.  And  Jesus 
said  unto  them.  Come  ye  after  me,  and  I  will  make 

18  you  to  become  fishers  of  men.     And  straightway 

19  they  left  the  nets,  and  followed  him.  And  going 
on  a  little  further,  he  saw  James  the  son  of  Zeb'e- 
dee,  and  John  his  brother,  who  also  were  in  the 

20  boat  mending  the  nets.  And  straightway  he 
called  them :  and  they  left  their  father  Zeb'e-dee 
in  the  boat  with  the  hired  servants,  and  went  after 
him. 

21  And  they  go  into  Ca-per'na-um ;  and  straightway 
on  the  sabbath  day  he  entered  into  the  synagogue  and 

22  taught.  And  they  were  astonished  at  his  teaching : 
for  he  taught  them  as  having  authority,  and  not  as 

23  the  scribes.  And  straightway  there  was  in  their  syn- 
agogue a  man  with  an  unclean  spirit ;  and  he  cried 

24  out,  saying.  What  have  we  to  do  with  thee,  thou 
Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth?  art  thou  come  to  destroy  us? 
I  know  thee  who  thou  art,  the  Holy  One  of  God. 

25  And  Jesus  rebuked 'him,  saying.  Hold  thy  peace,  and 

26  come  out  of  him.  And  the  unclean  spirit,  'tearing 
him  and  crying  with  a  loud  voice,  came  out  of  him.

27  And  they  were  all  amazed,  insomuch  that  they  ques- 
tioned among  themselves,  saying,  What  thing  is  this?  what 
new  doctrine  is  this  ?  for  with  authority  commandeth  he  even 
the  unclean  spirits,  and  they  do  obey  him. 

28  And  immediately  his  fame  spread  abroad  throughout 
all  the  region  round  about  Gal'i-lee. 

29  -^And  forthwith,  when  they  were  come  out  of  the  syna- 
gogue, they  entered  into  the  house  of  Si'mon  and  An'drew, 
with  James  and  John. 

30  But  Si'raon's  wife's  mother  lay  sick  of  a  fever;  and  anon 
they  tell  him  of  her. 

31  And  he  came  and  took  her  by  the  hand,  and  lifted  her 
up;  and  immediately  the  fever  left  her,  and  she  ministered 
unto  them. 

32  "And  at  even,  when  the  sun  did  set,  they  brought  unto  him 
all  that  were  diseased,  and  them  that  were  possessed  with  devils. 

33  And  all  the  city  was  gathered  together  at  the  door. 

34  And  he  healed  many  that  were  sick  of  divers  diseases, 
and  cast  out  many  devils;  and  *suffered  not  the  devils  ||  to 
speak,  because  they  knew  him.  . 

35  And  'in  the  morning,  rising  up  a  great  while  before  day,  he 
went  out,  and  departed  into  a  solitary  place,  and  there  prayed. 

36  A.nd  Si'mon  and  they  that  were  with  him  followed  after  him. 

37  And  when  they  had  found  him,  they  said  unto  him. 
All  men  seek  for  thee. 

38  And  he  said  unto  them,  *Let  us  go  into  the  next  towns, 
that  I  may  preach  there  also  :  for  'therefore  came  I  forth. 

39  "'And  he  preached  in  their  synagogues  throughout  all 
Gal'i-lee,  and  cast  out  devils. 

40  "And  there  came  a  leper  to  him,  beseeching  him,  and 
kneeling  down  to  him,  and  saying  unto  him,  If  thou  wilt, 
thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

41  And  Jesus,  moved  with  compassion,  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  touched  him,  and  saith  unto  him,  I  will;  be  thou  clean. 

42  And  as  soon  as  he  had  spoken,  immediately  the  leprosy 
departed  from  him,  and  he  was  cleansed. 

43  And  he  straitly  charged  him,  and  forthwith  sent  him 
away; 

44  And  saith  unto  him.  See  thou  say  nothing  to  any  man  : 
but  go  thy  way,  shew  thyself  to  the  priest,  and  offer  for 
thy  cleansing  those  things  "which  Mo'ses  commanded,  for  a 
testimony  unto  them. 

45  "But  he  went  out,  and  began  to  publish  it  much,  and 
to  blaze  abroad  the  matter,  insomuch  that  Jesus  could  no 
more  openly  enter  into  the  city,  but  was  without  in  desert 
places :  'and  they  came  to  him  from  every  quarter. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Christ  healeth  one  sick  of  the  palsy, 

AND  again  °he  entered  into  Ca-per'na-um  after  some  days; 
and  it  was  noised  that  he  was  in  the  house. 

2  And  straightway  many  were  gathered  together,  insomuch 
that  there  was  no  room  to  receive  them,  no,  not  so  much  as 
about  the  door :  and  he  preached  the  word  unto  them. 

3  And  they  come  unto  him,  bringing  one  sick  of  the  palsy, 
which  was  borne  of  four. 

4  And  when  they  could  not  come  nigh  untohim  for  the  press, 
they  uncovered  the  roof  where  he  was:  and  when  they  had  brok- 
en it  up,  they  let  down  the  bed  wherein  the  sick  of  the  palsy  lay. 

5  When  Jesus  saw  their  faith,  he  said  unto  the  sick  of  the 
palsy,  Son,  thy  .sins  be  forgiven  thee. 

6  But  there  wei'e  certain  of  the  scribes  sitting  there,  and 
reasoning  in  their  hearts, 

7  Why  doth  this  man  thus  speak  blasphemies?  'who  can 
forgive  sins  but  God  only? 

8  And  immediately,  "^when  Jesus  perceived  in  his  spirit 
that  they  so  reasoned  within  themselves,  he  said  unto  them. 
Why  reason  ye  these  things  in  your  hearts  ? 

9  "Whether  is  it  easier  to  say  to  the  sick  of  the  palsy.  Thy  sins 
be  forgiven  thee;  or  to  say,  Arise,  and  take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk? 


27  And  they  were  all  amazed,  insomuch  that  they 
questioned  among  themselves,  saying,  What  is  this  ? 
a  new  teaching !  with  authority  he  commandeth  even 

28  the  unclean  spirits,  and  they  obey  him.  And  the 
report  of  him  went  out  straightway  everywhere  into 
all  the  region  of  Gal'i-lee  round  about. 

29  And  straightway,  'when  they  were  come  out  of 
the  synagogue,  they  came  into  the  house  of  Si'mon 

30  and  An'drew,  with  James  and  John.  Now  Si'mon's 
wife's  mother  lay  sick  of  a  fever;  and  straightway 

31  they  tell  him  of  her :  and  he  came  and  took  her  by 
the  hand,  and  raised  her  up;  and  the  fever  left  her, 
and  she  ministered  unto  them. 

32  And  at  even,  when  the  sun  did  set,  they  brought 
unto  him  all  that  were  sick,  and  them  that  were  ^pos- 

33sessed  with  devils.     And  all  the  city  was  gathered 

34  together  at  the  door.  And  he  healed  many  that 
were  sick  with  divers  diseases,  and  cast  out  many 
Mevils;  and  he  suffered  not  the  'devils  to  speak, 
because  they  knew  him^ 

35  And  in  the  morning,  a  great  while  before  day,  he 
rose  up  and  went  out,  and  departed  into  a  desert 

36  place,  and  there  prayed.     And  Si'mon  and  they  that 

37  were  with  him  followed  after  him ;  and  they  found 

38  him,  and  say  unto  him.  All  are  seeking  thee.  And 
he  saith  unto  them.  Let  us  go  elsewhere  into  the 
next  towns,  that  I  may  preach  there  also;  for  to 

39  this  end  came  I  forth.  And  he  went  into  their 
synagogues  throughout  all  Gal'i-lee,  preaching  and 
casting  out  'devils. 

40  And  there  cometh  to  him  a  leper,  beseeching 
him,  'and  kneeling  down  to  him,  and  saying  unto 

41  him.  If  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean.  And 
being  moved  with  compassion,  he  stretched  forth 
his  hand,  and  touched  him,  and  saith  unto  him,  I 

42 will;  be  thou  made  clean.  And  straightway  the 
leprosy  departed  from  him,  and  he  was  made  clean. 

43  And  he  'strictly  charged  him,  and  straightway  sent 

44  him  out,  and  saith  unto  him,  See  thou  say  nothing  to 
any  man :  but  go  thy  way,  shew  thyself  to  the  priest, 
and  offer  for  thy  cleansing  the  things  which  Mo'ses 

45  commanded,  for  a  testimony  unto  them.  But  he  went 
out,  and  began  to  publish  it  much,  and  to  spread 
abroad  the  ^matter,  insomuch  that  'Jesus  could  no 
more  openly  enter  into  'a  city,  but  was  without  in  des- 
ert places:  and  they  came  to  him  from  every  quarter. 

^  And  when  he  entered  again  into  Ca-per'na-um  after 
some  days,  it  was  noised  that  he  was  "in  the  house. 

2  And  many  were  gathered  together,  so  that  there  was 
no  longer  room  jor  them,  no,  not   even   about  the 

3  door :  and  he  spake  the  word  unto  them.  And  they 
come,  bringing  unto  him  a  man  sick  of  the  palsy, 

4  borne  .of  four.  And  when  they  could  not  "come 
nigh  unto  him  for  the  crowd,  they  uncovered  the 
roof  where  he  was :  and  when  they  had  broken  it 
up,  they  let  down  the  bed  whereon  the  sick  of  the 

5  palsy  lay.  And  Jesus  seeing  their  faith  saith  unto 
the   sick  of  the   palsy,  "Son,  thy  sins  are   forgiven. 

6  But  there  were  certain  of  the  scribes  sitting  there, 

7  and  reasoning  in  their  hearts.  Why  doth  this  man 
thus  speak?  he  blasphemeth:  who  can  forgive  sins 

8 but  one,  even  God?  And  straightway  Jesus,  per- 
ceiving in  his  spirit  that  they  so  reasoned  within 
themselves,  saith  unto  them.  Why  reason  ye  these 

9 things  in  your  hearts?  Whether  is  easier,  to  say 
to  the  sick  of  the  palsy.  Thy  sins  are  forgiven ;  or 
to  say.   Arise,  and  take   up  thy  bed,    and  walk?

10  Bat  that  ye  may  know  that  the  Son  of  man  hath  power 
on  earth  to  forgive  sins,  (he  saith  to  the  sick  of  the  palsy,) 

11  I  say  unto  thee,  Arise,  and  take  up  thy  bed,  and  go 
thy  way  into  thine  house. 

12  And  immediately  he  arose,  took  up  the  bed,  and  went 
forth  before  them  all ;  insomuch  that  they  were  all  amazed, 
and  glorified  God,  saying,  We  never  saw  it  on  this  fashion. 

13  "And  he  went  forth  again  by  the  sea  side;  and  all  the 
multitude  resorted  unto  him,  and  he  taught  them. 

14  -^And  as  he  passed  by,  he  saw  Le'vi  the  son  of  Al-phe'us 
sitting  II at  the  receipt  of  custom,  and  said  unto  him.  Follow 
me.     And  he  arose  and  followed  him. 

15  "And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  Jesus  sat  at  meat  in  his 
house,  many  publicans  and  sinners  sat  also  together  with  Jesus 
and  his  disciples ;  for  there  were  many,  and  they  followed  h'  ;. 

16  And  when  the  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees  saw  him  eat  with 
publicans  and  sinners,  they  said  unto  his  disciples,  How  is 
it  that  he  eateth  and  drinketh  with  publicans  and  sinners? 

17  When  Jesus  heard  it,  he  saith  unto  them,  *They  that  are 
whole  have  no  need  of  the  physician,  but  they  that  are  sick : 
I  came  not  to  call  the  righteous,  but  sinners  to  repentance. 

18  'And  the  disciples  of  John  and  of  the  Phar'i-sees  used  to 
fast :  and  they  come,  and  say  unto  him.  Why  do  the  disciples 
of  John  and  of  the  Phar'i-sees  fast,  but  thy  disciples  fast  not? 

19  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Can  the  children  of  the  bride- 
chamber  fast,  while  the  bridegroom  is  with  them?  as  long 
as  they  have  the  bridegroom  with  them,  they  can  not  fast. 

20  But  the  days  will  come,  when  the  bridegroom  shall  be 
taken  away  from  them,  and  then  shall  they  fast  in  those  days. 

21  No  man  also  seweth  a  piece  of  ||new  cloth  on  an  old 
garment;  else  the  new  piece  that  filled  it  up  taketh  away 
from  the  old,  and  the  rent  is  made  worse. 

22  And  no  man  putteth  new  wine  into  old  bottles;  else 
the  new  wine  doth  burst  the  bottles,  and  the  wine  is  spilled, 
and  the  bottles  will  be  marred :  but  new  wine  must  be  put 
into  new  bottles. 

23  *And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he  went  through  the  corn- 
fields on  the  sabbath  day;  and  his  disciples  began,  as  they 
went,  'to  pluck  the  ears  of  corn. 

24  And  the  Phar'i-sees  said  unto  him.  Behold,  why  do 
they  on  the  sabbath  day  that  which  is  not  lawful? 

25  And  he  said  unto  them,  Have  ye  never  read  "what 
Da'vid  did,  when  he  had  need,  and  was  a  hungered,  he,  and 
they  that  were  with  him? 

26  How  he  went  into  the  house  of  God  in  the  days  of 
A-bi'a-thar  the  high  priest,  and  did  eat  the  shewbread, 
"which  is  not  lawful  to  eat  but  for  the  priests,  and  gave  also 
to  them  which  were  with  him  ? 

27  And  he  said  unto  them.  The  sabbath  was  made  for 
man,  and  not  man  for  the  sabbath  : 

28  Therefore,  "the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  also  of  the 
sabbath. 

CHAPTER   III. 

The  twelve  apostles  chosen. 

AND  "he  entered  again  into  the  synagogue;  and  there 
was  a  man  there  which  had  a  withered  hand. 

2  And  they  watched  him,  whether  he  would  heal  him  on 
the  sabbath  day,  that  they  might  accuse  him. 

3  And  he  saith  unto  the  man  which  had  the  withered 
hand,  fStaild  forth. 

4  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Is  it  lawful  to  do  good  on  the 
sabbath  days,  or  to  do  evil  ?  to  save  life,  or  to  kill  ?  But 
they  held  their  peace. 

5  And  when  be  had  looked  round  about  on  them  with  anger, 
being  grieved  for  the  ||  hardness  of  their  hearts,  he  saith  unto 
the  man.  Stretch  forth  thine  hand.  And  he  stretched  it  out : 
and  his  hand  was  restored  whole  as  the  other. 

6  ''Andthe  Phar'i-sees  wentforth,and  straightway  took  counsel 
with  "the  He-ro'di-ansagainst  him,  how  they  might  destroy  him. 


lOBut  that  ye  may  know  that  the  Son  of  man  hath 
'power  on  earth  to  forgive  sins  (he  saith  to  the  sick 

11  of  the  palsy),  I  say  unto  thee.  Arise,  take  up  thy  bed, 

12  and  go  unto  thy  house.  And  he  arose,  and  straight- 
way took  up  the  bed,  and  went  forth  before  them 
all ;  insomuch  that  they  were  all  amazed,  and  glori- 
fied God,  saying,  We  never  saw  it  on  this  fashion. 

13  And  he  went  forth  again  by  the  sea  side ;  and  all 
the  multitude  resorted  unto  him,  and  he  taught  them. 

14  And  as  he  passed  by,  he  saw  Le'vi  the  son  of  Al- 
phse'us  sitting  at  the  place  of  toll,  and  he  gaith  unto 
him.  Follow  me.     And  he  arose  and  followed  him. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he  was  sitting  at  meat  ib 
his  house,  and  many  ^publicans  and  sinners  sat  down 
with  Jesus  and  his  disciples:  for  there  were  many, 

16  and  they  followed  him.  And  the  scribes  'of  the 
Phar'i-sees,  when  they  saw  that  he  was  eating  with 
the  sinners  and  publicans,  said  unto  his  disciples, 
■"He  eateth  'and  drinketh  with  publicans  and  sinners. 

17  An^  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  saith  unto  them.  They 
that  are  'whole  have  no  need  of  a  physician,  but 
they  that  are  sick :  I  came  not  to  call  the  righteous, 
but  sinners. 

18  And  John's  disciples  and  the  Phar'i-sees  were  fast- 
ing: and  they  come  and  say  unto  him,  Why  do 
John's  disciples  and  the  disciples  of  the  Phar'i-sees 

19  fast,  but  thy  disciples  fast  not  ?  And  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  Can  the  sons  of  the  bride-chamber  fast,  while 
the  bridegroom  is  with  them  ?  as  long  as  they  have 

20  the  bridegroom  with  them,  they  can  not  fast.  But 
the  days  will  come,  when  the  bridegroom  shall  be 
taken  away  from  them,  and   then  will  they  fast  in 

21  that  day.  No  man  seweth  a  piece  of  undressed  cloth 
on  an  old  garment:  else  that  which  should  fill  it  up 
taketh  from  it,  the  new  from  the   old,  and  a  worse 

22  rent  is  made.  And  no  man  putteth  new  wine  into 
old  'wine-skins:  else  the  wine  will  burst  the  skins, 
and  the  wine  perisheth,  and  the  skins :  but  they  put 
new  wine  into  fresh  wine-skins. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he  was  going  on  the 
sabbath  day  through  the  cornfields ;  and  his  disciples 

24  'began,  as  they  went,  to  pluck  the  ears  of  corn.  And 
the  Phar'i-sees,  said  unto  him.  Behold,  why  do  they 

25 on  the  sabbath  day  that  which  is  not  lawful?  And 
he  said  unto  them.  Did  ye  never  read  what  Da'vid 
did,  when  he  had  need,  and  was  an  hungred,  he,  and 

26  they  that  were  with  him  ?  How  he  entered  into  the 
house  of  God  'when  A-bi'a-thar.  was  high  prie.st,  and 
did  eat  the  shewbread,  which  it  is  not  lawful  to  eat 
save  for  the  priests,  and  gave  also  to  them  that  were 

27  with  him  ?     And   he  said  unto   them.  The  sabbath 

28  was  made  for  man,  and  not  man  for  the  sabbath :  so 
that  the  Son  of  man  is  lord  even  of  the  sabbath. 

^  And  he  entered  again  into  the  synagogue;  and 
there  was  a  man  there  which  had  his  hand  withered. 

2  And  they  watched  him,  whether  he  would  heal  him 
on  the  sabbath  day;  that  they  might  accuse   him. 

3  And  he  saith  unto  the  man  that  had  his  hand  withered, 
4 '"Stand  forth.     And  he  saith  unto  them.  Is  it  lawful 

on  the  sabbath  day  to  do  good,  or  to  do  harm  ?  to 
save  a  life,  or  to  kill  ?     But  they  held  their  peace. 

5  And  when  he  had  looked  round  about  on  them  with 
anger,  being  grieved  at  the  hardening  of  their  heart, 
he  saith  unto  the  man.  Stretch  forth  thy  hand.  And 
he  stretched  it  forth :  and  his  hand   was  restored. 

6  And  the  Phar'i-sees  went  out,  and  straightway  with 
the  He-ro'di-ans  took  counsel  against  him,  how  they 
might  destroy  him.

7  But  Jesus  withdrew  himself  with  his  disciples  to  the  sea ;  and 
agreat  multitude  from  Gal'i-iee  followed  him/and  from  Ju-de'a, 

8  And  from  Je-ru'sa-lem, and  from  I-du-me'a,aDd/»'ombeyond 
Jor'dan ;  and  they  about  Tyre  and  Si'don,  a  great  multitude, 
when  they  had  heard  what  great  things  he  did,  came  unto  him. 

9  And  he  spake  to  his  disciples,  that  a  small  ship  should 
wait  on  him,  because  of  the  multitude,  lest  they  should 
throng  him. 

10  For  he  had  healed  many;  insomuch  that  they  || pressed 
upon  him  for  to  touch  him,  as  many  as  had  plagues. 

11  'And  unclean  spirits,  when  they  saw  him,  fell  down  be- 
fore him,  and  cried,  saying,  ■''Thou  art  the  Son  of  God. 

12  And  "he  straitly  charged  them  that  they  should  not 
make  him  known. 

13  *And  he  goeth  up  into  a  mountain,  and  callethwri^o  him 
whom  he  ivould :  and  they  came  unto  him.

18  And  A.n'drew,  and  Phil'ip,  and  Bar-thol'o-mew,  and 
Mat'thew,  and  Thotn'as,  and  James  the  son  of  Al-phe'us, 
and  Thad-de'us,  and  Si'mon  the  Ca'naan-ite, 

19  And  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,  which  also  betrayed  him  :  and 
they  went  ||  into  a  house. 

20  And  the  multitude  cometh  together  again,  'so  that  they 
could  not  so  much  as  eat  bread. 

21  And  when  his  ||  friends  heard  of  it,  they  went  out  to  lay 
hold  on  him :  'for  they  said,  He  is  beside  himself. 

22  ^And  the  scribes  which  came  down  from  Je-ru'sa-lem 
said,  ""He  hath  Be-el'ze-bub,  and  by  the  prince  of  the  devils 
casteth  he  out  devils. 

23  "And  he  called  them  unto  him,  and  said  unto  them  in 
parables,  How  can  Sa'tan  cast  out  Sa'tan  ? 

24  And  if  a  kingdom  be  divided  against  itself,  that  king- 
dom cannot  stand. 

25  And  if  a  house  be  divided  against  itself,  that  house 
cannot  stand. 

26  And  if  Sa'tan  rise  up  against  himself,  and  be  divided, 
he  cannot  stand,  but  hath  an  end. 

27  "No  man  can  enter  into  a  strong  man's  house,  and  spoil 
his  goods,  except  he  will  first  bind  the  strong  man ;  and  then 
he  will  spoil  his  house. 

28  "Verily  I  say  unto  you,  All  sins  shall  be  forgiven  unto 
the  sons  of  men,  and  blasphemies  wherewith  soever  they 
shall  blaspheme: 

29  But  he  that  shall  blaspheme  against  the  Holy  Ghost 
hath  never  forgiveness,  but  is  in  danger  of  eternal  damnation : 

30  Because  they  said.  He  hath  an  unclean  spirit. 

31  Tl'There  came  then  his  brethren  and  his  mother,  and, 
standing  without,  sent  unto  him,  calling  him. 

32  And  the  multitude  sat  about  him,  and  they  said  unto  him, 
Behold,  thy  mother  and  thy  brethren  without  seek  for  thee. 

33  And  he  answered  them,  saying,  Who  is  my  mother,  or 
my  brethren? 

34  And  he  looked  round  about  on  them  which  sat  about 
him,  and  said,  Behold  my  mother  and  my  brethren ! 

35  For  whosoever  shall  do  the  will  of  God,  the  same  is  my 
brother,  and  my  sister,  and  mother. 

CHAF"rER    IV. 

Parable  of  the  sower. 

AKD  "he  began  again  to  teach  by  the  sea  side:  and  there 
was  gathered  unto  him  a  great  multitude,  so  that  he 
entered  into  a  ship,  and  sat  in  the  sea ;  and  the  whole  mul- 
titude was  by  the  sea  on  the  land. 


7  And  Jesus  with  his  disciples  withdrew  to  the  sea : 
and  a  great  multitude  from  Gal'i-lee  followed :   and 

8  from  Ju-dse'a,  and  from  Je-ru'8a-lem,and  from  I-du-mse'a 
and  beyond  Jor'dan,  and  about  Tyre  and  Si'don,  a 
great  multitude,  hearing  'what  great  things  he  did, 

9  came  unto  him.  And  he  spake  to  his  disciples, 
that  a  little  boat  should  wait  on  him  because  of  the 

10 crowd,  lest  they  should  throng  him:  for  he  had 
healed  many ;  insomuch  that  as  many  as  had 
^plagues  'pressed   upon  him  that  they  might  touch 

11  him.  And  the  unclean  spirits,  whensoever  they  be- 
held him,  fell  down  before  him,  and  cried,  saying, 

12  Thou  art  the  Son  of  God.  And  he  charged  them 
much  that  they  should  not  make  him  known. 

13  And  he  goeth  up  into  the  mountain,  and  calleth 
unto  him  whom  he  himself  would :   and  they  went 

14  unto  him.  And  he  appointed  twelve,*  that  they 
might  be  with  him,  and  that  he  might  send  them 

15  forth   to  preach,  and  to  have  authority  to  cast  out 
j7  "devils :  'and  Si  mon  he  surnamed  Pe'ter ;  and  James 

the  son  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  John  the  brother  of  James; 
and  them  he  surnamed  Bo-a-ner'ges, which  is.  Sons  of 

18  thunder:  and  An'drew,  and  Phil'ip,and  Bar-thol'o-mew, 
and  Mat'thew,  and  Thom'as,  and  James  the  son  of 
Al-phse'us,  and  Thad-dse'us,  and  Si'mon  the  'Ca-nan- 

19  8e'an,  and  Ju'das  Is-car'iot,  which  also  betrayed  him. 

20  And  he  cometh  *into  a  house.  And  the  multi- 
tude Cometh  together  again,  so  that  they  could  not 

21  so  much  as  eat  bread.  And  when  his  friends  heard 
it,  they  went  out  to  lay  hold  on  him :    for  they  said, 

22  He  is  beside  himself.  And  the  scribes  which  came 
down  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  said,  He  hath  Be-el'ze-bub, 
and, 'By  the  prince  of  the  'devils  casteth  he  out  the 

23*devils.  And  he  called  them  unto  him,  and  said 
unto    them    in    parables,  How   can   Sa'tan  cast  out 

24  Sa'tan  ?     And  if  a  kingdom  be  divided  against  itself, 

25  that  kingdom  cannot  stand.  And  if  a  house  be 
divided  against  itself,  that  house  will  not  be  able  to 

26  stand.  And  if  Sa'tan  hath  risen  up  against  himself, 
and  is  divided,  he  cannot   stand,  but  hath  an  end. 

27  But  no  one  can  enter  into  the  house  of  the  strong 
man,  and  spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first  bind  the 
strong   man;    and    then    he    will   spoil    his  house. 

28  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  All  their  sins  shall  be  for- 
given unto  the  sons  of  men,  and  their  blasphemies 

29  wherewith  soever  they  shall  blaspheme :  but  who- 
soever shall  blaspheme  against  the  Holy  Spirit  hath 
never  forgiveness,  but  is  guilty  of  an  eternal  sin : 

30  because  they  said.  He  hath  an  unclean  spirit. 

31  And  there  come  his  mother  and  his  brethren; 
and,  standing  without,  they  sent  unto  him,  calling 

32 him.  And  a  multitude  was  sitting  about  him;  and 
they  say  unto   him.  Behold,  thy   mother  and  thy 

33  brethren  without  seek  for  thee.  And  he  answereth 
them,  and  sahh.  Who  is  my  mother,  and  my  breth- 

34  ren  ?  And  looking  round  on  them  which  sat  round 
about  him,  he  saith,  Behold,  my  mother  and  my 

35  brethren!  For  whosoever  shall  do  the  will  of  God, 
the  same  is  my  brother,  and  sister,  and  mother. 

4^  And  again  he  began  to  teach  by  the  sea  side.  And 
there  is  gathered  unto  him  a  very  great  multitude, 
so  that  he  entered  into  a  boat,  and  sat  in  the  sea ; 
and  all  the  multitude  were  by  the  sea  on  the  land.

2  And  he  taught  them  many  things  hj  parables,  ^and  said 
unto  them  in  his  doctrine, 

3  Hearken ;  Behold,  there  went  out  a  sower  to  sow : 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sowed,  some  fell  by  the  way 
side,  and  the  fowls  of  the  air  came  and  devoured  it  up. 

5  And  some  fell  on  stony  ground,  where  it  had  not  much 
earth;  and  immediately  it  sprang  up,  because  it  had  no  depth 
of  earth : 

6  But  when  the  sun  was  up,  it  was  scorched ;  and  because 
it  had  no  root,  it  withered  away. 

7  And  some  fell  among  thorns,  and  the  thorns  grew  up, 
and  choked  it,  and  it  yielded  no  fruit. 

8  And  other  fell  on  good  ground,  "and  did  yield  fruit  that 
sprang  up  and  increased,  and  brought  forth,  some  thirty, 
and  some  sixty,  and  some  a  hundred. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them.  He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let 
him  hear. 

10  ''And  when  he  was  alone,  they  that  were  about  him 
with  the  twelve  asked  of  him  the  parable. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them,  Unto  you  it  is  given  to  know 
the  mystery  of  the  kingdom  of  God :  but  unto  'them  that 
are  without,  all  these  things  are  done  in  parables : 

12  •'That  seeing  they  may  see,  and  not  perceive ;  and  hear- 
ing they  may  hear,  and  not  understand ;  lest  at  any  time  they 
should  be  converted,  and  their  sins  should  be  forgiven  them. 

13  And  he  said  unto  them,  Know  ye  not  this  parable? 
and  how  then  will  ye  know  all  parables? 

14  ^"The  sower  soweth  the  word. 

15  And  these  are  they  by  the  way  side,  where  the  word  is 
sown ;  but  when  they  have  heard,  Sa'tan  cometh  immediately, 
and  taketh  away  the  word  that  was  sown  in  their  hearts. 

16  And  these  are  they  likewise  which  are  sown  on  stony 
ground ;  who,  when  they  have  heard  the  word,  immediately 
receive  it  with  gladness ; 

17  And  have  no  root  in  themselves,  and  so  endure  but  for 
a  time :  afterward,  when  affliction  or  persecution  ariseth  for 
the  word's  sake,  immediately  they  are  offended. 

18  And  these  are  they  which  are  sown  among  thorns; 
such  as  hear  the  word, 

19  And  the  cares  of  this  world,  'and  the  deceitfulness  of 
riches,  and  the  lusts  of  other  things  entering  in,  choke  the 
word,  and  it  becometh  unfruitful. 

20  And  these  are  they  which  are  sown  on  good  ground; 
such  as  hear  the  word,  and  receive  it,  and  bring  forth  fruit, 
some  thirtyfold,  some  sixty,  and  some  a  hundred. 

21  ^'And  he  said  unto  them, Isa  candle  brought  to  be  put  un- 
der a  I  Ibushel,  or  under  a  bed?  and  not  to  be  set  on  a  candlestick? 

22  *For  there  is  nothing  hid,  which  shall  not  be  manifested; 
neither  was  anything  kept  secret,  but  that  it  should  come 
abroad. 

23  'If  any  man  have  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them.  Take  heed  what  ye  hear. 
"With  what  measure  ye  mete,  it  shall  be  measured  to  you : 
and  unto  you  that  hear  shall  more  be  given. 

25  "For  he  that  hath,  to  him  shall  be  given ;  and  he  that 
hath  not,  from  him  shall  be  taken  even  that  which  he  hath. 

26  ^And  he  said,  "So  is  the  kingdom  of  God,  as  if  a  man 
should  cast  seed  into  the  ground ; 

27  And  should  sleep,  and  rise  night  and  day,  and  the  seed 
should  spring  and  grow  up,  he  knoweth  not  how. 

28  For  the  earth  briugeth  forth  fruit  of  herself;  first  the 
blade,  then  the  ear,  after  that  the  full  corn  in  the  ear. 

29  But  when  the  fruit  is  ||  brought  forth,  immediately  "he 
putteth  in  the  sickle,  because  the  harvest  is  come. 

30  ^And  he  said,  'Whereunto  shall  we  liken  the  kingdom 
of  God?  or  with  what  comparison  shall  we  compare  it? 

31  It  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  which,  when  it  is  sown 
in  the  earth,  is  less  than  all  the  seeds  that  be  in  the  earth : 

32  But   when  it  is  sown,   it   groweth  up,  and  becometh 


2  And  he  taught  them  many  things  in  parables,  and 
3 said  unto  them  in  his  teaching,  Hearken:  Behold, 
4 the  sower  went  forth  to  sow:  and  it  came  to  pass, 

as  he  sowed,  some  seed  fell  by  the  way  side,  and 
5  the  birds  came  and  devoured  it.     And  other  fell  on 

the  rocky  ground,  where   it   had  not  much    earth ; 

and  straightway  it  sprang  up,  because  it  had  no 
6 deepness  of  earth:  and  when  the  sun  was  risen,  it 

was  scorched ;  and  becau.se  it  had  no  root,  it  withered 

7  away.  And  other  fell  among  the  thorns,  and  the 
thorns  grew  up,  and  choked  it,  and  it  yielded  no  fruit. 

8  And  others  fell  into  the  good  ground,  and  yielded 
fruit,  growing  up  and  increasing ;  and  brought  forth, 

9  thirtyfold,  and  sixtyfold,  and  a  hundredfold.  And 
he  said.  Who  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

10  And  when  he  was  alone,  they  that  were  about 
him    with   the   twelve  asked  of  him  the   parables. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them.  Unto  you  is  given  the 
mystery  of  the  kingdom  of  God :  but  unto  them 
that  are  without,  all  things   are    done  in  parables: 

12 that  seeing  they  may  see,  and  not  perceive;  and 
hearing  they  may  hear,  and  not  understand;  lest 
haply  they  should  turn  again,  and  it  should  be  for 

13  given  them.  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Know  yi 
not  this  parable?  and  how  shall  ye  know  all  tm 
"parables?  The  sower  soweth  the  word.  And  these 
are  they  by  the  way  side,  where  the  word  is  sown ; 
and  when  they  have  heard,  straightway  cometh 
Sa'tan,  and  taketh  away  the  word  which  hath  been 

16  sown  in  them.  And  these  in  like  manner  are  they 
that  are  sown  upon  the  rocky  places,  who,  when  they 
have  heard  the  word,  straightway  receive  it  with  joy 

1 7  and  they  have  no  root  in  themselves,  but  endure  for 
a  while;  then,  when  tribulation  or  persecution  ariseth 
because    of  the    word,    straightway   they    stumble. 

18  And  others  are  they  that  are  sown  among  the  thorns; 

19  these  are  they  that  have  heard  the  word,  and  the 
cares  of  the  'world,  and  the  deceitfulness  of  riches, 
and  the  lusts  of  other  things  entering  in,  choke  the 

20  word,  and  it  becometh  unfruitful.     And  those  are 
they  that  were  sown  upon  the  good  ground ;  such  as 
hear  the  word,  and  accept  it,  and  bear  fruit,  thirty 
fold,  and  sixtyfold,  and  a  hundredfold. 

21  And  he  said  unto  them,  Is  the  lamp  brought  to 
be  put  under  the  bushel,  or  under  the  bed,  and  not 

22  to  be  put  on  the  stand  ?  For  there  is  nothing  hid, 
save  that  it  should  be  manifested ;  neither  was  any- 
thing made  secret,  but  that  it  should  come  to  light. 

^If  any  man  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear.  And 
he  said  unto  them,  Take  heed  what  ye  hear:  with 
what  measure  ye   mete   it  shall  be   measured  unto 

25  you :  and  more  shall  be  given  unto  you.  For  he 
that  hath,  to  him  shall  be  given:  and  he  that  hath 
not,  from  him  shall  be  taken  away  even  that  which 
he  hath. 

26  And  he  said,  So  is  the  kingdom   of  God,  as  if  a 

27  man  should  cast  seed  upon  the  earth ;  and  should 
sleep  and  rise  night  and  day,  and  the  seed  should 

28  spring  up  and  grow,  he  knoweth  not  how.  The 
earth  ^beareth  fruit  of  herself;    first  the  blade,  then 

29  the  ear,  then  the  full  corn  in  the  ear.  But  when  the 
fruit  'is  ripe,  straightway  he  ^putteth  forth  the  sickle, 
because  the  harvest  is  come. 

30  And  he  said.  How  shall  we  liken  the  king- 
dom   of  God?     or  io  what    parable    shall    we    set 

31  it  forth  ?  "It  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard  seed, 
which,  when  it  is  sown  upon  the  earth,  though  it 
be  less  than  all  the  seeds  that  are  upon  the  earth, 

32  yet  when  it  is  sown,  groweth    up,  and    becometh

33  ''And  with  many  such  parables  spake  he  the  word  unto 
them,  as  they  were  able  to  hear  it. 

34  But  without  a  parable  spake  he  not  unto  them :  and  when 
they  were  alone,  he  expounded  all  things  to  his  disciples. 

35  'And  the  same  day,  when  the  even  was  come,  he  saith 
unto  them.  Let  us  jfess  over  unto  the  other  side. 

36  And  when  they  had  sent  away  the  multitude,  they  took 
him  even  as  he  was  in  the  ship.  And  there  were  also  with 
him  other  little  ships. 

37  And  there  arose  a  great  storm  of  wind,  and  the  waves 
beat  into  the  ship,  so  that  it  was  now  full. 

38  And  he  was  in  the  hinder  part  of  the  ship,  asleep  on 
a  pillow :  and  they  awake  him,  and  say  unto  him,  Master, 
carest  thou  not  that  we  perish? 

39  And  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the  wind,andsaid  unto  thesea. 
Peace, be  still.  And  the  wind  ceased,and  there  was  a  great  calm. 

40  And  he  said  unto  them.  Why  are  ye  so  fearful?  how  is 
it  that  ye  have  no  faith  ? 

41  And  they  feared  exceedingly,  and  said  one  to  another, 
What  manner  of  man  is  this,  that  even  the  wind  and  the  sea 
obey  him? 

CHAPTER  V. 

A  legion  of  devils  cast  out. 

AND  "they  came  over  unto  the  other  side  of  the  sea,  into 
the  country  of  the  Gad'a-renes. 

2  And  when  he  was  come  out  of  the  ship,  immediately 
there  met  him  out  of  the  tombs  a  man  with  an  unclean  spirit, 

3  Who  had  Ms  dwelling  among  the  tombs;  and  no  man 
could  bind  him,  no,  not  with  chains : 

4  Because  that  he  had  been  often  bound  with  fetters  and 
chains,  and  the  chains  had  been  plucked  asunder  by  him,  and 
the  fetters  broken  in  pieces :  neither  could  any  man  tame  him. 

5  And  always,  night  and  day,  he  was  in  the  mountains,  and 
in  the  tombs,  crying,  and  cutting  himself  with  stones. 

6  But  when  he  saw  Jesus  afar  off,  he  ran  and  worshipped  him, 

7  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice  and  said.  What  have  I  to 
do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  the  most  high  God?  I 
adjure  thee  by  God,  that  thou  torment  me  not. 

8  (For  he  said  unto  him,  Come  out  of  the  man,  thou  un- 
clean spirit.) 

9  And  he  asked  him.  What  is  thy  name?  And  he  an- 
swered, saying.  My  name  is  Legion :  for  we  are  many. 

10  And  he  besought  him  much  that  he  would  not  send 
them  away  out  of  the  country. 

11  Now  there  was  there  nigh  unto  the  mountains  a  great 
herd  of  swine  feeding. 

12  And  all  the  devils  besought  him,  saying.  Send  us  into 
the  swine,  that  we  may  enter  into  them. 

13  And  forthwith  Jesus  gave  them  leave.  And  the  unclean 
spirits  went  out,  and  entered  into  the  swine ;  and  the  herd 
ran  violently  down  a  steep  place  into  the  sea,  (there  were 
about  two  thousand,)  and  were  choked  in  the  sea. 

14  And  they  that  fed  the  swine  fled,  and  told  it  in  the 

And  they  went  out  to  see  what  it 


city,  and  in  the  country, 
was  that  was  done. 

15  And  they  come  to 
sessed   with   the   devil, 


Jesus,  and   see  him  that  was  pos- 
and    had    the    legion,  sitting,  and 
clothed,  and  in  his  right  mind ;  and  they  were  afraid. 

16  And  they  that  saw  it  told  them  how  it  befell  to  him  that 
was  possessed  with  the  devil,  and  also  concerning  the  swine. 

17  And  Hhey  began  to  pray  him  to  depart  out  of  their  coasts. 

18  And  when  he  was  come  into  the  ship,  "^he  that  had  been 
possessed  with  the  devilprayed  him  that  he  might  be  with  him. 

19  Howbeit  Jesus  suffered  him  not,  but  saith  unto  him.  Go 
home  to  thy  friends,  and  tell  them  how  great  things  the 
Lord  hath  done  for  thee,  and  hath  had  compassion  on  thee. 

20  And  he  departed,  and  began  to  publish  in  De-cap'o-lis 


greater  than  alii  the  kerbs,  smd  putteth  out  great 
branches  \  so  that  the  birds  of  the  heaven  can  lodge 
under  the  shadow  thereof. 

33  And  with  many  such  parables  spake  he  the  word 

34  unto  them,  as  they  were  able  to  hear  it :  and  with- 
out a  parable  spake  he  not  unto  them :  but  privately 
to  his  own  disciples  he  expounded  all  things. 

35  And  on  that  day,  when  even  was  come,  he  saith 

36  unto  them.  Let  us  go  over  unto  the  other  side.  And 
leaving  the  multitude,  they  take  him  with  them,  even 
as  he  was,  in  the  boat.     And  other  boats  were  with 

37  him.  And  there  ariseth  a  great  storm  of  wind,  and 
the    waves   beat  into  the  boat,   insomuch   that  the 

38  boat  was  now  filling.  And  he  himself  was  in  the 
stern,  asleep  on  the  cushion :  and  they  awake  him, 
and  say  unto  him,  'Master,  carest  thou  not  that  we 

39  perish  ?  And  he  awoke,  and  rebuked  the  wind, 
and  said  unto   the   sea.  Peace,  be   still.     And   the 

40  wind  ceased,  and  there  was  a  great  calm.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  Why  are  ye  fearful  ?  have  ye  not  yet 

41  faith  ?  And  they  feared  exceedingly,  and  said  one 
to  another.  Who  then  is  this,  that  even  the  wind 
and  the  sea  obey  him? 

O      And  they  came  to  the  other  side  of  the  sea,  into 

2  the  country  of  the  Ger'a-senes.  And  when  he  was 
come  out  of  the   boat,  straightway  there   met   him 

3  out  of  the  tombs  a  man  with  an  unclean  spirit,  who 
had  his  dwelling  in  the  tombs:    and  no  man  could 

4  any  more  bind  him,  no,  not  with  a  chain ;  because 
that  he  had  been  often  bound  with  fetters  and 
chains,  and  the  chains  had  been  rent  asunder  by 
him,  and  the  fetters  broken  in  pieces :  and  no  man 

5  had  strength  to  tame  him.  And  always,  night  and 
day,  in  the  tombs  and  in  the  mountains,  he  was  cry- 

6  ing  out,  and  cutting  himself  with  stones.  And  when 
he  saw  Jesus  from  afar,  he  ran  and  worshipped  him ; 

7  and  crying  out  with  a  loud  voice,  he  saith,  What 
have  I  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  the  Most 
High   God?     I   adjure   thee   by    God,  torment  me 

Snot.     For  he  said  unto   him,  Come  forth,  thou  un- 
9 clean  spirit,  out  of  the  man?     And  he  asked  him, 
What  is  thy  name?     And   he   saith   unto  him.  My 
10 name  is  Legion;    for  we  are   many.     And    he   be- 
sought  him    much    that   he  would   not  send    them 

11  away  out  of  the  country.  Now  there  was  there 
on  the  mountain  side  a  great  herd  of  swine  feeding. 

12  And  they  besought  him,  saying,  Send  us  into  the 

13  swine,  that  we  may  enter  into  them.  And  he  gave 
them  leave.  And  the  unclean  spirits  came  out,  and 
entered  into  the  swine :  and  the  herd  rushed  down 
the  steep  into  the  sea,  in  number  about  two  thou- 

14 sand;  and  they  were  choked  in  the  sea.  And  they 
that  fed  them  fled,  and  told  it  in  the  city,  and  in  the 
country.     And  they  came  to  see  what  it  was  that 

15  had  come  to  pass.  And  they  come  to  Jesus,  and 
behold  ^him  that  was  possessed  with  devils  sitting, 
clothed  and  in  his  right  mind,  even  him  that  had  the 

16  legion  :  and  they  were  afraid.  And  they  tliMl  .«aw  it 
declared  unto  them  how  it  befell  %im  that  wa.-;  pos- 

17  sessed  with  devils,  and  concerning  the  swine.  And 
they  began  to  beseech  him  to  depart  from  their  bor-

had  been  possessed  with  ^devils  besought  him  that 

19  he  might  be  with  him.  And  he  suffered  him  not, 
but  saith  unto  him.  Go  to  thy  house  unto  thy  friends, 
and  tell  them  how  great  things  the  Lord  hath  done

how  great  tkiags  JesuHS  had  done  for  Mm:  and  all  men  did 
marvel. 

21  ""And  when  Jesus  was  passed  over  again  hj  ship  unto 
the  other  side,  much  peojde  gathered  unto  him ;  and  he  was 
nigh  unto  the  sea. 

22  'And,  behold,  there  cometh  one  of  the  rulers  of  the  syna- 
gogue, Ja-i'rus  by  name;  and  when  he  saw  him,  he  fell  at  his  feet, 

23  And  besought  him  greatly,  •  saying.  My  little  daughter 
lieth  at  the  point  of  death :  I  pray  thee,  come  and  lay  thy 
hands  on  her,  that  she  may  be  healed ;  and  she  shall  live. 

24  And  Jesus  went  with  him;  and  much  people  followed 
him,  and  thronged  him. 

25  And  a  eertein  woman  Avhich  had  an  issue  of  blood 
twelve  years, 

26  And  had  suffered  many  things  of  many  physicians, 
and  had  spent  all  that  she  had,  and  was  nothing  bettered,  but 
rather  grew  worse, 

27  When  she  had  heard  of  Jesus,  came  in  the  press  behind, 
and  touched  his  garment. 

28  For  shesaid,lfl  may  touch  but  hisclothes,Ishallbe  whole, 

29  And  straightway  the  fountain  of  her  blood  was  dried  up ; 
and  she  felt  in  her  body  that  she  was  healed  of  that  plague. 

30  And  Jesus,  immediately  knowing  in  himself  that  "virtue 
had  gone  out  of  him,  turned  him  about  in  the  press,  and 
said.  Who  touched  my  clothes  ? 

31  And  his  disciples  said  anto  him.  Thou  seest  the  multi- 
tude thronging  thee,  and  sayest  thou,  Wb'  rouched  me  ? 

32  And  he  looked  round  about  to  see  Ler  that  had  done 
this  thing. 

33  But  the  woman  fearing  and  trembling,  knowing  what 
was  done  in  her,  came  and  fell  down  before  him,  and  told 
him  all  the  truth. 

34  And  he  said  unto  her,  Daughter,  *thy  faith  hath  made 
thee  whole ;  go  in  peace,  and  be  whole  of  thy  plague. 

35  'While  he  yet  spake,  there  came  from  the  ruler  of  the 
synagogue's  house  certain  which  said.  Thy  daughter  is  dead ; 
why  troublest  thou  the  Master  any  further? 

36  As  soon  as  Jesus  heard  the  word  that  was  spoken,  he  saith 
unto  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue.  Be  not  afraid,  only  believe. 

37  And  he  suffered  no  man  to  follow  him,  save  Pe'ter,  and 
James,  and  John  the  brother  of  James. 

38  And  he  cometh  to  thehouse  of  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue, 
and  seeth  the  tumult,  and  them  that  wept  and  wailed  greatly. 

39  And  when  he  was  come  in,  he  saith  unto  them.  Why  make 
ye  this  ado,  and  weep  ?  the  damsel  is  not  dead,  but  *sleepeth. 

40  And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn.  'But  when  he  had 
put  them  all  out,  he  taketh  the  fether  and  the  mother  of  the 
damsel,  and  them  that  were  with  him,  and  eutereth  in  .where 
the  damsel  was  lying. 

41  And  he  took  the  damsel  by  the  hand,  and  said  unto 
hery  Tal'i-tha  cu'mi :  which  is,  being  interpreted,  Damsel,  (I 
say  unto  thee,)  arise. 

42  And  straightway  the  damsel  arose,  and  walked ;  for  she 
was  of  the  age  of  twelve  years.  And  they  were  astonished 
with  a  great  astonishment. 

43  And  ""he  charged  them  straitly  that  no  man  should 
know  it;  and  commanded  that  something  should  be  given 
her  to  eat.

77te  apostles  sent  to  preach. 

AND  °he  went  out  from  thence,  and  came  into  his  own 
country ;  and  his  disciples  follow  him. 

2  And  when  the  sabbath  day  was  come,  he  began  to  teaoh 
in  the  synagogue:  and  many  hearing  ^im  were  astonished, 
saying,  'From  whence  hath  this  man  these  things?  and 
what  wisdom  ia  this  which  is  given  unto  him,  that  even 
such  mighty  works  are  wrought  by  his  hands? 

3  Is  not  this  the  carpenter,  the  son  of  Ma'ry,  "the  brother 
of  Jaioes^  and  Jo'ses,  and  of  Ju'da,  and  Si'mon?  and  are 


how  great  things  Jesua  had  done  for  him:  and  all 

men  did  marvel. 
21     And  when  Jesus  had  crossed  over  again  in   the 

boat  unto  the   other    side,  a  great    multitude   was 
22 gathered  unto  him:    and  he  was  by  the  sea.     And 

there  cometh   one  of  the  rulers  of  the  synagogue, 

Ja-i'rus  by  name ;  and  seeing  him,  he  fellethat  his  feet, 

23  and  beseecheth  him  much,  sayiifg.  My  little  daughter 
is  at  the  point  of  death :  I  pray  thee,  that  thou  come 
and  lay  thy  hands  on  her,  that  she  may  be   'made 

24  whole,  and  live.  And  he  went  with  him ;  and  a  great 
multitude  followed  him,  and  they  thronged  him. 

25  And  a  woman,  which  had  an  issue  of  blood  twelve 

26  years,  and  had  suffered  many  things  of  many  physi- 
cians, and   had  spent  all    that   she   had,   and   was 

27  nothing  bettered,  but  rather  grew  worse,  having 
heard   the   things   concerning   Jesus,   came   in   the 

28  crowd  behind,  and  touched  his  garment.  For  she 
said.  If  I  touch  but  his  garments,  I  shall  be  'made 

29  whole.  And  straightway  the  fountain  of  her  blood 
was  dried  up ;  and  she  felt  in  her  body  that  she  was 

30  healed  of  her  ^plague.  And  straightway  Jesus,  per- 
ceiving in  himself  that  the  power  proceeding  from 
him  had  gone  forth,  turned  him  about  in  the  crowd, 

31  and  said.  Who  touched  my  garments?  And  his 
disciples  said  unto  him,  Thou  seest  the  multitude 
thronging  thee,  and  sayest  thou.  Who  touched  me? 

32  And  he  looked  round  about  to   see    her  that   had 

33  done  this  thing.  But  the  woman  fearing  and  trem- 
bling, knowing  what  had  been  done  to  her,  came 
and  fell  down  before  him,  and  told  him  all  the  truth. 

34  And  he  said  unto  her,  Daughter,  thy  faith  hath 
'made  thee  whole ;  go  in  peace,  and  be  whole  of  thy 
^plague. 

35  While  he  yet  spake,  they  eome  from  the  ruler  of 
the  synagogue's  house,  saying,  Thy  daughter  is 
dead :  why  troublest  thou  the  ^Master  any  further  ? 

36  But  Jesus,  'not  heeding  the  word  spoken,  saith  unto 
the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  Fear  not,   only  believe. 

37  And  he  suffered  no  man  to  follow  with  him,  save 
Pe'ter,  and  James,  and  John  the  brother  of  James. 

38  And  they  come  to  the  house  of  the  ruier  of  the 
synagogue;  and  he  beholdeth  a  tumult,  and   many 

39  weeping  and  wailing  greatly.  And  when  he  was 
entered  in,  he  saith  unto  them.  Why  make  ye  a 
tumult,  and  weep?  the  child  is  not  dead,  but  sleep- 

40eth»  And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn.  But  he, 
having  put  them  all  forth,  taketh  the  father  of  the 
child  and  her  mother  and  them  that  were  with  him, 

41  and  goeth  in  where  the  child  was.  And  taking  the 
child  by  the  hand,  he  saith  unto  her,  Tal'i-tha  cu'mi ; 
which  is,  being  interpreted,  Damsel,  I  say  unto  thee, 

42  Arise.  And  straightway  the  damsel  rose  up,  and 
walked ;  for  she  was  twelve  years  old.  And  they 
were  amazed  straightway  with  a  great  amazement. 

43  And  he  charged  them  much  that  no  man  should 
know  this :  and  he  commanded  that  something 
should  be  given  her  to  eat. 

V  And  he  went  out  from  thence;  and  he  cometh 
into   his    own    country;   and    his    disciples   follow 

2  him.  And  when  the  sabbath  was  come,  he  be- 
gan to  teach  in  the  synagogue:  and  "many  hear- 
ing him  were  astonished,  saying,  Whence  hath 
this  man-  these  things?  and.  What  is  the  wisdom 
that  is  given  unto  this  man,  and  what  mean   such 

3 'mighty  works  wrought  by  his  hands?  Is  not

4  But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  'A  prophet  is  not  without 
honour,  but  in  his  own  country,  and  among  his  own  kin, 
aud  in  his  own  house. 

5  -'^And  he  could  there  do  no  mighty  work,  save  that  he 
laid  his  hands  upon  a  few  sick  folk,  and  healed  them. 

6.  And  "he  marvelled  because  of  their  unbelief.  *And  he 
went  round  about  the  villages,  teaching. 

7  ^'And  he  called  unto  him  the  twelve,  and  began  to 
send  them  forth  by  two  and  two;  and  gave  them  power 
over  unclean  spirits ; 

8  And  commanded  them  that  they  should  take  nothing 
for  <A«*V  journey,  save  a  staff  only:  no  scrip,  no  bread,  no 
II  money  in  their  purse  : 

9  Bat  ''he  shod  with  sandals;  and  not  put  on  two  coats. 

10  'And  he  said  unto  them.  In  what  place  soever  ye  enter 
into  a  house,  there  abide  till  ye  depart  from  that  place. 

11  "And  whosoever  shall  not  receive  you,  nor  hear  you, 
when  ye  depart  thence,  "shake  off  the  dust  under  your  feet

shall  be  more  tolerable  for  Sod'om,  fand  Go-mor'rah  in  the 
day  of  judgment,  than  for  that  city. 

12  And  they  went  out,  and  preached  that  men  should 
repent. 

13  And  they  cast  out  many  devils,  "and  anointed  with  oil 
many  that  were  sick,  and  healed  them.

forth  themselves  in  him. 

15  'Others  said.  That  it  is  E-li'as.  And  others  said.  That 
it  is  a  prophet,  or  as  one  of  the  prophets. 

16  ''But  when  Her'od  heard  thereof,  he  said.  It  is  John, 
whom  I  beheaded:  he  is  ri-sen  from  the  dead. 

17  For  Her'od  himself  had  sent  forth  and  laid  hold  upon 
John,  and  bound  him  in  prison  for  He-ro'di-as'  sake,  his 
brother  Phil'ip's  wife;  for  he  had  married  her. 

18  For  John  had  said  unto  Her'od,  'It  is  not  lawful  for 
thee  to  have  thy  brother's  wife. 

19  Therefore  He-ro'di-as  had  ||a  quarrel  against  him,  and 
would  have  killed  him ;  but  she  could  not : 

20  For  Her'od  'feared  John,  knowing  that  he  was  a  ju,st 
man  and  a  holy,  and  ||  observ'ed  him ;  and  when  he  heard 
him,  he  did  many  things,  and  heard  him  gladly. 

21  "And  when  a  convenient  day  was  come,  that  Her'od 
on  his  birthday  made  a  supper  to  his  lords,  high  captains, 

and  chief  e«<a<es  of  Gal'i-lee; 

22  And  when  the  daughter  of  the  said  He-ro'di-as  came 
in,  and  danced,  and  pleased  Her'od  and  them  that  sat  with 
him,  the  king  said  unto  the  damsel.  Ask  of  me  whatsoever 
thou  wilt,  and  I  will  give  it  thee. 

23  And  he  sware  unto  her,  "Whatsoever  thou  shalt  ask  of 
me,  I  will  give  it  thee,  unto  the  half  of  my  kingdom. 

24  And  she  went  forth,  and  said  unto  her  mother,  What 
shall  I  ask?    And  she  said,  The  head  of  John  the  Baptist. 

25  And  she  came  in  straightway  with  haste  unto  the  King, 
and  asked,  saying,  I  will  that  thou  give  me  by  and  by  in  a 
charger  the  head  of  John  the  Baptist. 

26  'And  the  king  was  exceeding  sorry;  ye<  for  his  oath's  sake, 
ar.  I  for  their  sakes  which  sat  with  him,  he  would  not  reject  her. 

27  And  immediately  the  king  sent  ||an  executioner,  and 
commanded  his  head  to  be  brought:  and  he  went  and  be- 
headed him  in  the  prison, 

28  And  brought  his  head  in  a  charger,  and  gave  it  to  the 
damsel ;  and  the  damsel  gave  it  to  her  mother. 

29  And  when  his  disciples  heard  of  it,  they  came  and  took 
up  his  corpse,  and  laid  it  in  a  tomb. 

30  "And  the  apostles  gathered  themselves  together  unto 


not  his   sisters  here  with  us?  And  they  were  'of- 

4  fended  in  him.  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  A 
prophet  is  not  without  honour,  save  in  his  own 
country,  and  among  his  own  kin,  and  in  his  own 

5  house.  And  he  could  there  do  no  ^mighty  work, 
save  that   he   laid  his  hands  upon  a  few  sick  folk, 

6  and  healed  them.  And  he  marvelled  because  of 
their  unbelief. 

And  he  went  round  about  the  villages  teaching. 

7  And  he  called  unto  him  the  twelve,  and  began  to 
send  them  forth  by  two  and  two;  and  he  gave  them 

8 authority  over  the  unclean  spirits;  and  he  charged 
them  that  they  should  take  nothing  for  their  jour- 
ney, save  a   staff  only;   no  bread,   no  wallet,  no 

9  'money  in  their  *purse ;  but  to  go  shod  with  sandals ; 

10  and,  said  he,  put  not  on  two  coats.  And  he  said 
unto  them.  Wheresoever  ye  enter  into  a  house,  there 

11  abide  till  ye  depart  thence.  And  whatsoever  place 
shall  not  receive  you,  and  they  hear  you  not,  as  ye 
go  forth  thence,  shake  off  the  dust  that  is  under 

12  your  feet  for  a  testimony  unto  them.  And  they 
went  out,   and   preached  that  vien  should  repent. 

13  And  they  cast  out  many  Mevils,  and  anointed  with 
oil  many  that  were  sick,  and  healed  them. 

14  And  king  Her'od  heard  thereof;  for  his  name  had 
become  known:  and  'he  said,  John  'the  Baptist  is 
risen  from  the  dead,  and  therefore  do  these  powers 

15  work  in  him.  But  others  said,  It  is  E-li'jah.  And 
others   said.   It  is   a   prophet,    even   as   one    of  the 

1 6  prophets.     But  Her'od  when  he  heard  thereof,  said, 

17  John,  whom  I  beheaded,  he  is  risen.  For  Her'od 
himself  had  sent  forth  and  laid  hold  upon  John,  and 
bound  him  in  prison  for  the  sake  of  He-ro'di-as  his 

18 brother  Phil'ip's  wife:  for  he  had  married  her.  For 
John  said  unto  Her'od,  It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to 

19  have  thy  brother's  wife.  And  He-ro'di-as  set  herself 
against  him,  and  desired  to  kill  him ;  and  she  could 

20 not;  for  Her'od  feared  John,  knowing  that  he  was  a 
righteous  man  and  a  holy,  and  kept  him  safe.  And 
when  he  heard  him,  he  *was  much  perplexed;    and 

21  he  heard  him  gladly.  And  when  a  convenient  day 
was  come,  that  Her'od  on  his  birthday  made  a  sup- 
per to  his   lords,  and  the  'high  captains,  and  the 

22  chief  men  of  Gal'i-lee ;  and  when  '"the  daughter  of 
He-ro'di-as  herself  came  in  and  danced,  "she  pleased 
Her'od  and  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him ;  and  the 
king  said  unto  the  damsel.  Ask  of  me  whatsoever 

23  thou  wilt,  and  I  will  give  it  thee.  And  he  sware 
unto  her^  Whatsoever  thou  shalt  ask  of  me,  I  will 

24  give  it  to  thee,  unto  the  half  of  my  kingdom.  And  she 
went  out,  and  said  unto  her  mother,  What  shall  I 
ask?  And  she  said.  The  head  of  John  Hhe  Baptist. 

25  And  she  came  in  straightway  with  haste  unto  the 
king,  and  asked,  saying,  I  will  that  thou  forthwith 
give  me  in  a  charger  the  head  of  John  "the  Baptist. 

2&And  the  king  was  exceeding  sorry;  but  for  the 
sake  of  his  oaths,  and  of  'them  that  sat  at  meat,  he 

27  would  not  reject  her.  And  straightway  the  king 
sent  forth  a  soldier  of  his  guard,  and  commanded  to 
bring  his  head:  and  he  went  and  beheaded  him  in 

28  the  prison,  and  brought  his  head  in  a  charger,  and 
gave  it  to  the  damsel ;    and  the  damsel  gave  it  to 

29  her  mother.  And  when  his  disciples  heard  thereof, 
they  came  and  took  up  bis  corpse,  and  laid  it  in  a 
tomb.

Jesus,  and  told  him  all  things,  both  what  they  had  done, 
and  what  they  had  taught. 

31  'And  he  said  unto  them,  Come  ye  yourselves  apart  into 
a  desert  place,  and  rest  a  while :  for  "^there  were  many  com- 
ing and  going,  and  they  had  no  leisure  so  much  as  to  eat. 

32  ""And  they  departed  into  a  desert  place  by  ship  pri- 
vately. 

33  And  the  people  saw  them  departing,  and  many  knew 
him,  and  ran  afoot  thither  out  of  all  cities,  and  outwent 
them,  and  came  together  unto  him. 

34  'And  Jesus,  when  he  came  out,  saw  much  people,  and 
was  moved  with  compassion  toward  them,  because  they 
were  as  sheep  not  having  a  shepherd :  and  ■'^he  began  to 
teach  them  many  things. 

35  "And  when  the  day  was  now  far  spent,  his  disciples 
came  unto  him,  and  said.  This  is  a  desert  place,  and  now  the 
time  is  far  passed : 

36  Send  them  away,  that  they  may  go  into  the  country 
round  about,  and  into  the  villages,  and  buy  themselves 
bread :  for  they  have  nothing  to  eat. 

37  He  answered  and  said  unto  them.  Give  ye  them  tt)  eat. 
And  they  say  unto  him,  '"Shall  we  go  and  buy  two  hundred 
II  pennyworth  of  bread  and  give  them  to  eat. 

38  He  saith  unto  them.  How  many  loaves  have  ye  ?  go  and 
see.     And  when  they  knew,  they  say,  'Five,  and  two  fishes. 

39  And  he  commanded  them  to  make  all  sit  down  by 
companies  upon  the  green  grass. 

40  And  they  sat  down  in  ranks,  by  hundreds,  and  by  fifties: 

41  And  when  he  had  taken  the  five  loaves  and  the  two 
fishes,  he  looked  up  to  heaven,  *and  blessed,  and  brake  the 
loaves,  and  gave  them  to  his  disciples  to  set  before  them; 
and  the  two  fishes  divided  he  among  them  all. 

42  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were  filled. 

43  And  they  took  up  twelve  baskets  full  of  the  fragments, 
and  of  the  fishes. 

44  And  they  that  did  eat  of  the  loaves  were  about  five 
thousand  men. 

45  'And  straightway  he  constrained  his  disciples  to  get 
into  the  ship,  and  to  go  to  the  other  side  before  ||  unto  Beth- 
sa'i-da,  while  he  sent  away  the  people. 

46  And  when  he  had  sent  them  away,  he  departed  into  a 
mountain  to  pray. 

47  "And  when  even  was  come,  the  ship  was  in  the  midst 
of  the  sea,  and  he  alone  on  the  land, 

48  And  he  saw  them  toiling  in  rowing ;  for  the  wind  was 
contrary  unto  them  :  and  about  the  fourth  watch  of  the  night 
he  Cometh  unto  them,  walking  upon  the  sea,  and  "would 
have  passed  by  them. 

49  But  when  they  saw  him  walking  upon  the  sea,  they 
supposed  it  had  been  a  spirit,  and  cried  out : 

50  For  they  all  saw  him,  and  were  troubled.  And  im- 
mediately he  talked  with  them,  and  saith  unto  them.  Be  of 
good  cheer :  it  is  I ;  be  not  afraid. 

51  And  he  went  up  unto  them  into  the  ship;  and  the  wind 
ceased:  and  they  were  sore  amazed  in  themselves  beyond 
measure,  and  wondered. 

52  For  "they  considered  not  the  miracle  of  the  loaves ;  for 
their  "heart  was  hardened. 

53  »And  when  they  had  passed  over,  they  came  into  the 
land  of  Gen-nes'a-ret,  and  drew  to  the  shore.  . 

54  And  when  they  were  come  out  of  the  ship,  straightway 
they  knew  him, 

55  And  ran  through  that  whole  region  round  about,  and 
began  to  carry  about  in  beds  those  that  were  sick,  where 
they  heard  he  was. 

56  And  whithersoever  he  entered,  into  villages,  or  cities, 
or  country,  they  laid  the  sick  in  the  streets,  and  besought 
him  that  'they  might  touch  if  it  were  but  the  border  of  his 
garment :  and  as  many  as  touched  H  him  were  made  whole. 


Jesus ;  and  they  told  him  all  things,  whatsoever  they 

31  had  done,  and  whatsoever  they  had  taught.  And 
he  saith  unto  them.  Come  ye  yourselves  apart  into 
a  desert  place,  and  rest  a  while.  For  there  were 
many  coming  and  going,  and  they  had  no   leisure 

32  so  much  as  to  eat.     And  they  went  away   in  the 

33  boat  to  a  desert  place  apart.  And  the  people  saw 
them  going,  and  many  knew  them,  and  they  ran 
there  together  'on  foot  from  all  the  cities,  and  out- 

34  went  them.  And  he  came  forth  and  saw  a  great 
multitude,  and  he  had  compassion  on  them,  because 
they  were  as  sheep  not  having  a  shepherd :  and  he 

35  began  to  teach  them  many  things.  And  when  the 
day  was  now  far  spent,  his  disciples  came  unto  him, 
and  said.  The  place  is  desert,  and  the  day  is  now  far 

36 spent:  send  them  away,  that  they  may  go  into  the 
country  and  villages  round  about,  and  buy  them- 

37  selves  somewhat  to  eat.  But  he  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  Give  ye  them  to  eat.  And  they  say 
unto  him.  Shall  we  go  and  buy  two  hundred  ^penny- 

38  worth  of  bread,  and  give  them  to  eat  ?  And  he 
saith  unto  them.  How  many  loaves  have  ye?  go 
and  see.     And  when  they  knew,  they  say,  Five,  and 

39  two  fishes.  And  he  commanded  them  that  all 
should  'sit    down    by    companies    upon    the    green 

40  grass.     And  they  sat  down  in  ranks,  by  hundreds, 

41  and  by  fifties.  And  he  took  the  five  loaves  and  the 
two  fishes,  and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he  blessed, 
and  brake  the  loaves;  and  he  gave  to  the  disciples 
to  set  before  them;  and  the  two  fishes  divided  he 

42  among   them  all.     And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were 

43  filled.     And  they   took   up  broken   pieces,   twelve 

44  basketfuls,  and  also  of  the  fishes.  And  they  that 
ate  the  loaves  were  five  thousand  men. 

45  And  straightway  he  constrained  his  disciples  to 
enter  into  the  boat,  and  to  go  before  him  unto  the 
other  side  to  Beth-sa'i-da,  while  he  himself  sendeth  the 

46  multitude  away.     And  after  he  had  taken  leave  of 

47  them,  he  departed  into  the  mountain  to  pray.  And 
when  even  was  come,  the  boat  was  in  the  midst  of 

48  the  sea,  and  he  alone  on  the  land.  And  seeing  them 
distressed  in  rowing,  for  the  wind  was  contrary  unto 
them,  about  the  fourth  watch  of  the  night  he  cometh 
unto  them,  walking  on  the  sea;  and  he  would  have 

49  passed  by  them :  but  they,  when  they  saw  him 
walking  on  the  sea,  supposed  that  it  was  an  appari- 

50  tion,  and  cried  out :  for  they  all  saw  him,  and  were 
troubled.  But  he  straightway  spake  with  them,  and 
saith  unto  them,  Be  of  good  cheer :  it  is  I ;  be  not 

51  afraid.  And  he  went  up  unto  them  into  the  boat ; 
and  the  wind  ceased  :  and  they  were  sore  amazed  in 

52  themselves ;  for  they  understood  not  concerning  the 
loaves,  but  their  heart  was  hardened. 

53  And  when  they  had  ^crossed  over,  they  came  to 
the  land  unto  Gen-nes'a-ret,  and  moored  to  the  shore. 

54  And  when  they  were  come  out  of  the  boat,  straight- 

55  way  the  people  knew  him,  and  ran  round  about  that 
whole  region,  and  began  to  carry  about  on  their  beds 

56  those  that  were  sick,  where  they  heard  he  was.  And 
wheresoever  he  entered,  into  villages,  or  into  cities, 
or  into  the  country,  they  laid  the  sick  in  the  market- 
places, and  besought  him  that  they  might  touch  if 
it  were  but  the  border  of  his  garment :  and  as  many 
as  touched  'him  were  made  whole.

CHAPTER     VII. 

Afeal  defiUth  not. 

THEN  "came  together  unto  him  the  Phar'i-sees,  and  cer- 
tain of  the  scribes,  which  came  from  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  And  when  they  saw  some  of  his  disciples  eat  bread  with 
1 1  defiled,  that  is  to  say,  with  unwashen  hands,  they  found  fault. 

3  For  the  Phar'i-sees,  and  all  the  Jews,  except  they  wash 
their  hands  ||oft,  eat  not,  holding  the  tradition  of  the  elders. 

4  And  when  they  come  from  the  market,  except  they  wash, 
taey  eat  not.  And  many  other  things  there  be,  which  they 
has'e  received  to  hold,  as  the  washing  of  cups,  and  Upots, 
and  brazen  vessels,  and  of  ||  tables. 

5  'l.hen  the  Phar'i-sees  and  scribes  asked  him.  Why  walk 
not  thy  disciples  according  to  the  tradition  of  the  elders,  but 
eat  bread  with  unwashen  hands? 

6  He  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "Well  hath  E-sa'ias 
prophesied  of  you  hyproorites,  as  it  is  written,  ''This  people 
honoureth  me  with  their  lips,  but  their  heart  is  far  from  me. 

7  Howbeit  in  vain  do  they  worship  me,  teaching /o?-  doc- 
trines the  commandments  of  men. 

8  For  laying  aside  the  commandment  of  God,  ye  hold  the 
tradition  of  men,  as  the  washing  of  pots  and  cups  :  and 
many  other  such  like  things  ye  do. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  Full  Avell  ye  ||  reject  the  com- 
mandment of  God,  that  ye  may  keep  your  own  tradition. 

10  For  Mo'ses  said,  ''Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother; 
and,  'Whoso  curseth  father  or  mother,  let  him  die  the  death  : 

11  But  ye  say.  If  a  man  shall  say  to  his  father  or  mother. 
It  is  -^Cor'ban,  that  is  to  say,  a  gift,  by  whatsoever  thou 
mightest  be  profited  by  me ;  he  shall  be  free. 

1'2  And  ye  suffer  him  no  more  to  do  aught  for  his  father 
or  his  mother; 

13  Makingthe  word  of  God  of  none  effect  through  yourtradi- 
tion,  which  ye  havedelivered:  andmanysuch  like  things  doye. 

14  ^'And  when  he  had  called  all  the  people  unto  him,  he  said 
unto  them.  Hearken  unto  me  every  one  of  you,  and  understand : 

15  There  is  nothing  from  without  a  man,  that  entering 
into  him  can  defile  him :  but  the  things  which  come  out  of 
him,  those  are  they  that  defile  the  man. 

16  *If  any  man  have  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

17  'And  when  he  was  entered  into  the  house  from  the 
people,  his  disciples  asked  him  concerning  the  parable. 

18  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Are  ye  so  without  under- 
standing also?  Do  ye  not  perceive,  that  whatsoever  thing 
from   without  entereth  into  the  man,  it  can  not  defile  him; 

19  Because  it  entereth  not  into  his  heart,  but  into  the 
belly,  and  goeth  out  into  the  draught,  purging  all  meats? 

20  And  he  said  that  which  cometh  out  of  the  man,  that 
defileth  the  man. 

21  'For  from  within,  out  of  the  heart  of  men,  proceed 
evil  thoughts,  adulteries,  fornications,  murders, 

22  Thefts,  fcovetou.sness,  wickedness,  deceit,  lascivious- 
ness,  an  evil  eye,  blasphemy,  pride,  foolishness; 

23  All  these  evil  things  come  from  within,  and  defile  the  man. 

24  ^'And  from  thence  he  arose,  and  went  into  the  borders 
of  Tyre  and  Si'don,  and  entered  into  a  house,  and  would 
have  no  man  know  it :  but  he  could  not  be  hid. 

25  1  or  a  certain  woman,  whose  young  daughter  had  an 
unclean  spirit,  heard  of  him,  and  came  and  fell  at  his  feet : 

26  The  woman  was  a  ||  Greek,  a  Sy-ro-phe-ni'ci-an  by 
nation ;  and  she  besought  him  that  he  would  cast  forth  the 
devil  out  of  her  daughter. 

27  But  Jesus  said  unto  her.  Let  the  children  first  be  filled : 
for  it  is  not  meet  to  take  the  children's  bread,  and  cast  it 
unto  the  dogs. 

28  And  she  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Yes,  Lord:  yet 
the  dogs  under  the  table  eat  of  the  children's  crumbs. 

29  And  he  said  unto  her,  For  this  saying  go  thy  way ;  the 
devil  is  gone  out  of  thy  daughter. 


♦  And  there  are  gathered  together  unto  him  the 
Phar'i-sees,  and   certain  of  the  scribes,  which  had 

2  come  from  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  had  seen  that  some  of 
his  disciples  ate  their  bread  with  'defiled,  that  is, 

3  unwashen,  hands.  For  the  Phar'i-sees,  and  all  the 
Jews,  except  they  wash  their  hands  Miligently,  eat 

4  not,  holding  the  tradition  of  the  elders :  and  when 
they  come  from  the  marketplace,  except  they  'wash 
themselves,  they  eat  not :  and  many  other  things 
there  be,  which  they  have  received  to  hold,  *wash- 

5ings  of  cups,  and  pots,  and  brasen  vessels.'  And 
the  Phar'i-sees  and  the  scribes  ask  him,  Why  walk 
not  thy  disciples  according  to  the  tradition  of  the 
elders,  but  eat   their   bread    with    'defiled    hands? 

6  And  he  said  unto  them.  Well  did  I'sa-iah  prophesy 
of  you  hypocrites,  as  it  is  written. 

This  people  honoureth  me  with  their  lips, 
But  their  heart  is  far  from  me. 

7  But  in  vain  do  they  worship  me. 
Teaching  as  their  doctrines  the  precepts  of  "men 

8  Ye  leave  the  commandment  of  God,  and  hold  fast 

9  the  tradition  of  men.  And  he  said  unto  them,  Full 
well  do  ye   reject  the   commandment  of  God,  that 

10 ye  may  keep  your  tradition.  For  Mo'ses  said. 
Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother;  and.  He  that 
speaketh  evil  of  father  or  mother,  let  him  Mie  the 

11  death  :  but  ye  say.  If  a  man  shall  say  to  his  father 
or  his  mother.  That  wherewith  thou  mightest  have 
been  profited  by  me  is  Cor'ban,  that  is  to  say.  Given 

12 to  God;  ye  no  longer  suffer  him  to  do  aught  for 

13 his  father  or  his  mother;  making  void  the  word  of 
God  by  your  tradition,  which   ye  have   delivered : 

14  and  many  such  like  things  ye  do.  And  he  called  to 
him  the  multitude  again,  and  said  unto  them.  Hear 

15 me  all  of  you,  and  understand:  there  is  nothing 
from  without  the  man,  that  going  into  him  can 
defile  him :  but  the  things  which  proceed  out  of  the 

17  man  are  those  that  defile  the  man.'  And  when  he 
was  entered  into  the  house  from  the   multitude,  his 

18  disciples  asked  of  him  the  parable.  And  he  saith 
unto  them,  Are  ye  so  without  understanding  also? 
Perceive  ye  not,  that  whatsoever  from  without  goeth 

19  into  the  man,  it  can  not  defile  him  ;  because  it  goeth 
not  into  his  heart,  but  into  his  belly,  and  goeth  out 
into  the  draught  ?     This  he  said,  making  all   meats 

20  clean.     And  he  said,  That  which  proceedeth  out  of 

21  the  man,  that  defileth  the  man.  For  from  within, 
out  of  the   heart  of  men,  'evil  thoughts  proceed, 

22  fornications,  thefts,  murders,  adulteries,  covetings, 
wickednesses,  deceit,  lasciviousness,  an  evil  eye,  rail- 

23  ing,  pride,  foolishness :  all  these  evil  things  proceed 
from  within,  and  defile  the  man. 

24  And  from  thence  he  arose,  and  went  away  into 
the  borders  of  Tyre  'and  Si'don.  And  he  entered 
into  a  house,  and  would  have  no  man  know  it:  and 

25  he  could  not  be  hid.  But  straightway  a  woman, 
whose  little  daughter  had  an  amclean  spirit,  having 

26  heard  of  him,  came  and  fell  down  at  his  feet.  New 
the  woman  was  a  '"Greek,  a  Sy-ro-phoe-ni'ci-an  by  race. 
And  she  besought  him  that  he  would  cast  forth  the 

27  "devil  out  of  her  daughter.  And  he  said  unto  her. 
Let  the  children  first  be  filled :  for  it  is  not  meet  to 
take  the  children's  '^bread  and   cast  it  to  the  dogs. 

28  But  she  answered  and  saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord : 
even  the  dogs  under  the  table  eat  of  the  children's 

29  crumbs.  And  he  said  unto  her.  For  this  saying  go 
thy  way ;  the  "devil  is  gone  out  of  thy  daughter.

CHAPTER    VIII. 

Four  thousand  miraculously  fod. 

IN  those  days  "the  multitude  being  very  great,  and  hav- 
ing nothing  to  eat,  Jesus  called  his  disciples  unto  him, 
and  saith  unto  them, 

2  I  have  compassion  on  the  multitude,  because  they  have 
now  been  with  me  three  days,  and  have  nothing  to  eat: 

3  And  if  I  send  them  away  fasting  to  their  own  houses, 
they  will  faint  by  the  way :  for  divers  of  them  came  from  far. 

4  And  his  disciples  answered  him,  From  whence  can  a  man 
satisfy  these  men  with  bread  here  in  the  wilderness  ? 

5  ''And  he  asked  them,  How  many  loaves  have  ye?  And 
they  said.  Seven. 

6  And  he  commanded  the  people  to  sit  down  on  the 
ground :  and  he  took  the  seven  loaves,  and  gave  thanks, 
and  brake,  and  gave  to  his  disciples  to  set  before  them,;  and 
they  did  set  them  before  the  people. 

7  And  they  had  a  few  small  fishes;  and  °he  blessed,  and 
commanded  to  set  them  also  before  them. 

8  So  they  did  eat,  and  were  filled :  and  they  took  up  of 
the  broken  meat  that  was  left  seven  baskets. 

9  And  they  that  had  eaten  were  about  four  thousand : 
and  he  sent  them  away. 

10  ^And  ''straightway  he  entered  into  a  ship  with  his  dis- 
ciples, and  came  into  the  parts  of  Dal-ma-nu  tha. 

11  "And  the  Phar'i-sees  came  forth,  and  began  to  ques- 
tion with  him,  seeking  of  him  a  sign  from  heaven,  tempt- 
ing him. 

12  And  he  sighed  deeply  in  his  spirit,  and  saith,  Why 
doth  this  generation  seek  after  a  sign?  verily  I  say  unto 
you.  There  shall  no  sign  be  given  unto  this  generation. 

13  And  he  left  them,  and  entering  into  the  ship  again  de- 
parted to  the  other  side. 

14  ^KNow  the  disciples  had  foi^otten  to  take  bread,  neither 
had  they  in  the  ship  with  them  more  than  one  loaf. 

15  'And  he  charged  them,  saying.  Take  heed,  beware  of 
the  leaven  of  the  Phar'i-eees,  and  of  the  leaven  of  Her'od. 

16  And  they  reasoned  among  themselves,  saying.  It  is 
*because  we  have  no  bread. 

17  And  when  Jesus  knew  it,  he  saith  unto  them.  Why 
reason  ye,  because  ye  have  no  bread?  'perceive  ye  not  yet, 
neither  understand?  have  ye  your  heart  yet  hardened? 

18  Having  eyes,  see  ye  not?  and  having  ears,  hear  ye 
not?  and  do  ye  not  remember? 

19  *When  I  brake  the  five  loaves  among  five  thousand, 
how  many  baskets  full  of  fragments  took  ye  up?  They 
say  unto  him.  Twelve. 

20  And  'when  the  seven  among  four  thou.sand,  how  many 
baskets  full  of  fragments  took  ye  up?     And  they  said.  Seven. 


30  And  she  went  away  unto  her  house,  and  found  the 
child  laid  upon  the  bed,  and  the  'devil  gone  out. 

31  And:  again  he  went  out  from  the  borders  of  Tyre, 
and  came  through  Si'don  unto  the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee, 
through  the  midst  of  the  borders  of  De-cap'o-lis. 

32  And  they  bring  unto  him  one  tliat  Avas  deaf,  and 
had  an  impediment  in  his  speech ;  and  they  beseech 

33  him  to  lay  his  hand  upon  him.  And  he  took  him 
aside  from  the  multitude  privately,  and  put  his 
fingers  into  his  ears,  and  he  spat,  and  touched  his 

34 tongue;  and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he  sighed,  and 

saith    unto  him,  Eph'pha-tha,  that  is.  Be   opened. 

36  And   his   ears  were    opened,   and   the   bond  of  his 

36  tongue  was  loosed,  and  he  spake  plain.  And  he 
charged  them  that  they  should  tell  no  man :  but 
the   more   he   charged  tbem,  so   much    the  more  a 

37  great  deal  they  published  it.  And  they  were  be- 
yond measure  astonished,  saying,  He  hath  done  all 
things  well :  he  maketh  even  the  deaf  to  hear,  and 
the  dumb  to  speak. 

O  In  those  days,  when  there  was  again  a  great 
multitude,  and  they  had  nothing  to  eat,  he  called 

2  unto  him  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto  them,  I  have 
compassion  on  the  multitude,  because  they  continne 
with  me  now  three  days,  and  have  nothing  to  eat : 

3  and  if  I  send  them  away  fasting  to  their  home,  they 
will  iaint  in  the  way ;  and  some  of  them  are  come 

4  from  far.  And  his  disciples  answered  him.  Whence 
shall  one  be  able  to  fill  these  men  with  ^bread  here 

5  in  a  desert  place  ?     And  he  asked  them,  How  many 
6 loaves  have   ye?     And  they  said.  Seven.     And  he 

commandeth  the  multitude  to  sit  down  on  the 
ground:  and  he  took  the  seven  loaves,  and  having 
given  thanks,  he  brake,  and  gave  to  his  disciples,  to 
set   before    them;    and   they    set    them    before    the 

7  multitude.  And  they  had  a  few  small  fishes :  and 
having  blessed  them,  he  commanded  to  set  these 

8  also  before  them.  And  they  did  eat,  and  were 
filled :  and  they  took  up,  of  broken  pieces  that  re- 

9  mained  over,  seven  baskets.     And  they  were  about 

10  four  thousand :  and  he  sent  them  away.  And 
straightway  he  entered  into  the  boat  with  his  dis- 
ciples, and  came  into  the  parts  of  Dal-ma-nu'tha. 

11  And  the  Phar'i-sees  came  forth,  and  began  to 
question  with   him,   seeking  of  him   a   sign   from 

12  heaven,  tempting  him.  And  he  sighed  deeply  in 
his  spirit,  and  saith.  Why  doth  this  generation  seek 
a  sign?  verily  I  say  unto  you.  There  shall  no  sign 

13  be  given  unto  this  generation.  And  he  left  them, 
and  again  entering  into  the  boat  departed  to  the 
other  side. 

14  And  they  forgot  to  take  bread;  and  they  had 
not   in  the   boat   with  them   more  than  one   loaf. 

15  And  he  charged  them,  saying,  Take  heed,  beware 
of  the   leaven   of  the   Phar'i-sees   and    the    leaven 

16  of  Her'od.     And  they  reasoned  one  with  another, 
17 'saying,  *We  have  no  bread.     And  Jesus  perceiving 

it  saith  unto  them.  Why  reason  ye,  because  ye 
have  no  bread?  do  ye  not  yet  perceive,  neither  un- 

ISderstand?  have  ye  your  heart  hardened?  Having 
eyes,  see  ye  not?   and  having  ears,  hear  ye  not? 

19and  do  ye  not  remember?  When  I  brake  the  five 
loaves  among  the  five  thousand,  how  many  'baskets 
full  of  broken  pieces  took  ye  up?    They  say  unto 

20  him.  Twelve.  And  when  the  seven  among  the 
four  thousand,  how  many  'basketfuls  of  broken 
pieces  took  ye  up?     And  they  say  unto  him,  Seven.

21  And  he  eaid  tinto  them,  How  is  it  that  "^e  do  not 
unaerstand  ? 

22  ^And  he  cometh  to  Beth-sa'i-da ;  and  they  bring  a 
blind  man  unto  him,  and  besought  him  to  touch  him. 

23  And  he  took  the  blind  man  by  the  hand,  and  led  him 
out  of  the  town;  and  when  "he  had  spit  on  his  eyes,  and 
put  his  hands  upon  him,  he,  asked  him  if  he  saw  aught. 

24  And  he  looked  up,  and  said,  I  see  men  as  trees,  walking. 

25  After  that  he  put  his  hands  again  upon  his  eyes,  and 
made  him  look  up ;  and  he  was  restored,  and  saw  every  man 
clearly. 

26  And  he  sent  him  away  to  his  house,  saying.  Neither  go 
into  the  town,  °nor  tell  it  to  any  in  the  town. 

27  51" And  Jesus  went  out,  and  his  disciples,  into  the  towns 
of  Ces-a-re'a  Phi-lip'pi :  and  by  the  way  he  asked  his  disciples, 
saying  unto  them.  Whom  do  men  say  that  I  am  ? 

28  And  they  answered,  "John  the  Baptist :  but  some  say, 
E-li'as :  and  others,  One  of  the  prophets. 

29  And  he  saith  unto  them,  But  whom  say  ye  that  I  am? 
And  Pe'ter  answereth  and  saith  unto  him,  'Thou  art  the  Christ. 

30  'And  he  charged  them  that  they  should  tell  no  man  of  him. 

31  And  'he  began  to  teach  them,  that  the  Son  of  man  must 
suffer  many  things,  and  be  rejected  of  the  elders,  and  of  the 
chief  priests,  and  scribes,  and  be  killed,  and  after  three  days 
rise  again. 

32  And  he  spake  that  saying  openly.  And  Pe'ter  took  him, 
and  began  to  rebuke  him. 

33  But  when  he  had  turned  about  and  looked  on  his  dis- 
ciples, he  rebuked  Pe'ter,  saying;  Get  thee  behind  me, 
Sa'tan :  for  thou  savourest  not  the  things  that  be  of  God, 
but  the  things  that  be  of  men. 

34  ^And  when  he  had  called  the  people  wnto  Aim  with  his 
disciples  also,  he  said  unto  them,  "Whosoever  will  come  after 
me,  let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his  cross,  and  follow  me. 

35  For  "whosoever  will  save  his  life  shall  lose  it :  but  who- 
soever shall  lose  his  life  for  my  sake  and  the  gospel's,  the 
same  shall  save  it. 

36  For  what  shall  it  profit  a  man,  if  he  shall  gain  the  whole 
world,  and  lose  his  own  soul  ? 

37  Or  what  shall  a  man  give  in  exchange  for  his  soul  ? 

38  "Whosoever  therefore  'shall  be  ashamed  of  me  and  of 
my  words,  in  this  adulterous  and  sinful  generation,  of  him 
also  shall  the  Son  of  man  be  ashamed,  when  he  cometh  in 
the  glory  of  his  Father  with  the  holy  angels. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

The  transfiguration  of  Christ, 

AND  he  said  unto  them,  "Verily  I  say  unto  you,  That 
there  be  some  of  them  that  stand  here,  which  shall  not 
taste  of  death,  till  they  have  seen  *the  kingdom  of  God 
come  with  power. 

2  ^"And  after  six  days  Jesus  taketh  with  him  Pe'ter,  and 
James,  and  John,  and  leadeth  them  up  into  a  high  mountain 
apart  by  themselves ;  and  be  was  transfigured  before  them. 

3  And  his  raiment  became  shining,  exceeding  ''white  as 
snow;  so  as  no  fuller  on  earth  can  white  them. 

4  And  there  appeared  unto  them  E-li'as  with  Mo'ses :  and 
they  were  talking  with  Jesus. 

5  And  Pe'ter  answered  and  said  to  Jesus,  Master,  it  is 
good  for  us  to  be  here :  and  let  us  make  three  tabernacles ; 
one  for  thee,  and  one  for  Mo'ses,  and  one  for  E-li'as. 

6  For  he  wist  not  what  to  say ;  for  they  were  sore  afraid. 

7  And  there  was  a  cloud  that  overshadowed  them :  and  a 
voice  came  out  of  the  cloud,  saying.  This  is  my  beloved 
Son :  hear  him. 

8  And  suddenly,  when  they  had  looked  round  about,  they 
saw  no  man  any  more  save  Jesus  only  with  themselves. 

9  'And  as  they  came  down  from  the  mountain,  he -charged 
tiiem  that  they  should  tell  no  man  Tvhat  things  they  bad 
seen,  till  the  Son  of  man  were  risen  from  theidead. 


21  And  he  said  onto  them,  Do  ye  not  yet  under- 
stand? 

22  And  they  come  unto  Beth-sa'i-da.  And  they  bring 
to  him  a  blind  man,  and  beseech  him  to  touch  him. 

23  And  he  took  hold  of  the  blind  man  by  the  hand,  and 
brought  him  out  of  the  village  ;  and  when  he  had 
spit  on   his  eyes,  and  laid   his  hands  upon  him,  he 

24 asked  him,  Seest  thou  aught?  And  he  looked  up, 
and  said,   I   see  men;  for   I  behold  them  as  trees, 

25  walking.  Then  again  he  laid  his  hands  upon  his 
eyes;  and  he  looked  stedfestly,  and  was  restored, 

26  and  saw  all  things  clearly.  And  he  sent  him  away 
to  his  home,  saying.  Do  not  even  enter  into  the 
village. 

27  And  Jesus  went  forth,  and  his  disciples,  into  the 
villages  of  Oses-a-re'a  Phi-lip'pi :  and  in  the  way  he 
asked  his  disciples,  saying  unto  them.  Who  do  men 

28  say  that  I  am?  And  they  told  him,  saying,  John 
the  Baptist :  and  others,  E-li'jah ;  but  others.  One  of 

29  the  prophets.  And  he  asked  them.  But  who  say  ye 
that  I  am?      Pe'ter  answereth  and  saith  unto  him, 

30  Thou  art  the  Christ.      And  he  charged  them  that 

31  they  should  tell  no  man  of  him.  And  he  began  to 
teach  them,  that  the  Son  of  man  must  suffer  many 
things,  and  be  rejected  by  the  elders,  and  the  chief 
priests,  and  the  scribes,  and  be  killed,  and  after  three 

32  days  rise  again.      And  he  spake  the  saying  openly. 

33  And  Pe'ter  took  him,  and  began  to  rebuke  him.  But 
he  turning  about,  and  seeing  his  disciples,  rebuked 
Pe'ter,  and  saith.  Get  thee  behind  me,  Sa'tan  :  for 
thou  mindest  not  the  things  of  God,  but  the  things 

34  of  men.  And  he  called  unto  him  the  multitude  with 
his  disciples,  and  said  unto  them.  If  any  man  would 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his 

35  cross,  and  follow  me.  For  "whosoever  would  save 
his  'life  shall  lose  it ;  and  whosoever  shall   lose  his 

36  'life  for  my  sake  and  the  gospel's  shall  save  it.  For 
what  doth  it  profit  a  man,  to  gain  the  whole  world, 

37  and  forfeit  his  'life  ?      For  what  should  a  man  give 

38  in  exchange  for  his  'life  ?  For  whosoever  shall  be 
ashamed  of  me  and  of  my  words  in  this  adulterous 
and  sinful  generation,  the  Son  of  man  also  shall  be 
ashamed  of  him,  when  he  cometh  in  the  glory  of  his 
Father  with  the  holy  angels. 

V  And  he  said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
There  be  some  here  of  them  that  stand  by,  which 
shall  in  no  wise  taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the  king- 
dom of  God  come  with  power. 

2  And  after  six  days  Jesus  taketh  with  him  Pe'ter, 
and  James,  and  John,  and  bringeth  them  up  into  a 
high   mountain    apart  by  themselves:   and   he  was 

3 transfigured  before  them:  and  his  garments  became 
glistening,  exceeding  white ;  so  as  no  fuller  on  earth 

4  ean  whiten  them.  And  there  appeared  unto  them 
E-li'jah   with   Mo'ses :   and  they  were  talking  with 

5  Jesus.  And  Pe'ter  answereth  and  saith  to  Jesus,  Rabbi, 
it  is  good  for  us  to  be  here:  and  let  us  make  three 
^tabernacles;  one  for  thee,  and  one  for  Mo'ses,  and  one 

6  for  E-li'jah.     For  he  wist  not  what  to  answer ;  for 

7  they  became  sore  afraid.  And  there  came  a  cloud 
overshadowing  them  :  and  there  came  a  voice  out  of 
the  cloud.   This  is  my  beloved  Son :   hear  ye  him. 

8  And  suddenly  looking  round  about,  they  saw  no  one 
any  more,  save  Jesus  only  with  themselves. 

9  Asd  as  they  were  coming  down  from  the  mount- 
ain, he  charged  them  ih&t  they  should  tell  no 
man  what  things  they  had  seen,  save  ■when  the 
Son  of  man  should  have  risen  again  from  the  dead.

10  And  they  kept  that  saying  with  themselves,  questioning 
one  with  another  what  the  rising  from  the  dead  should  mean. 

ll^And  they  asked  him,  saying,  Why  say  the  scribes -^that 
E-li'as  must  first  come? 

1 2  A  nd  he  answered  and  told  them,E-li'as  verily  cometh  first, 
and  restoreth  all  things;  and  "how  it  is  written  of  the  Son  of 
man,  that  he  must  sufier  many  things,  and  *be  set  at  nought. 

13  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  'E-li'as  is  indeed  come,  and 
they  have  done  unto  him  whatsoever  they  listed,  as  it  is 
written  of  him. 

14  1[*And  when  he  came  to  Ms  disciples,  he  saw  a  great 
multitude  about  them,  and  the  scribes  questioning  with  them. 

15  And  straightway  all  the  people,  when  they  beheld  him, 
were  greatly  amazed,  and  running  to  him  saluted  him. 

16  And  he  asked  the  scribes.  What  question  ye  ||  with  them  ? 

17  And  'one  of  the  multitude  answered  and  said,  Master,  I 
have  brought  unto  thee  my  son,  which  hath  a  dumb  spirit; 

18  And  wheresoever  he  taketh  him,  he  ||  teareth  him  ;  and 
he  foameth,  and  gnasheth  with  his  teeth,  and  pineth  away  ; 
and  I  spake  to  thy  disciples  that  they  should  cast  him  out; 
and  they  could  not. 

19  He  answereth  him,  and  saith,  O  faithless  generation, 
how  long  shall  I  be  with  you?  how  long  shall  I  suffer  you? 
bring  him  unto  me. 

20  And  they  brought  him  unto  him:  and  ""when  he  saw 
him,  straightway  the  spirit  tare  him;  and  he  fell  on  the 
ground,  and  wallowed  foaming. 

21  And  he  asked  his  father.  How  long  is  it  ago  since  this 
came  unto  him  ?     And  he  said.  Of  a  child. 

22  And  ofttimes  it  hath  cast  him  into  the  fire,  and  into 
the  waters  to  destroy  him :  but  if  thou  canst  do  any  thing, 
have  compassion  on  us,  and  help  us. 

23  Jesus  said  unto  him,  "If  thou  canst  believe,  all  things 
are  possible  to  him  that  believeth. 

24  And  straightway  the  father  of  the  child  cried  out,  and 
said  with  tears.  Lord,  I  believe ;  help  thou  mine  unbelief. 

25  When  Jesus  saw  that  the  people  came  running  together, 
he  rebuked  the  foul  spirit,  saying  unto  him.  Thou  dumb  and 
deaf  spirit,  I  charge  thee,  come  out  of  him,  and  enter  no 
more  into  him. 

26  And  the  spirit  cried,  and  rent  him  sore,  and  came  out 
of  him :  and  he  was  as  one  dead ;  insomuch  that  many  said, 
He  is  dead. 

27  But  Jesus  took  him  by  the  hand,  and  lifted  him  up; 
and  he  arose. 

28  "And  when  he  was  come  into  the  house,  his  disciples 
asked  him  privately.  Why  could  not  we  cast  him  out? 

29  And  he  said  unto  him.  This  kind  can  come  forth  by 
nothing,  but  by  prayer  and  fasting. 

30  "[[And  they  departed  thence,  and  passed  through  Gal'i- 
lee ;  and  he  would  not  that  any  man  should  know  it. 

31  "For  he  taught  his  disciples,  and  said  unto  them.  The 
Son  of  man  is  delivered  into  the  hands  of  men,  and  they  shall 
kill  him ;  and  after  that  he  is  killed,  he  shall  rise  the  third  day. 

32  But  they  understood  not  that  saying,  and  were  afraid 
to  ask  him. 

33  TI'And  he  came  to  Ca-per'na-um :  and  being  in  the 
house  he  asked  them.  What  was  it  that  ye  disputed  among 
yourselves  by  the  way  ? 

34  But  they  held  their  peace;  for  by  the  way  they  had 
disputed  among  themselves,  who  should  be  the  greatest. 

35  And  he  sat  down,  and  called  the  twelve,  and  saith 
unto  them,  'If  any  man  desire  to  be  first  the  same  shall  be 
last  of  all,  and  servant  of  all. 

36  And  "he  took  a  child,  and  set  him  in  the  mid.st  of  them : 
and  when  he  had  taken  him  in  his  arms,  he  said  unto  them, 

37  Whosoever  shall  receive  one  of  such  children  in  my 
name,  receiveth  me:  and  'whosoever  shall  receive  me,  re- 
ceiveth  not  me,  but  him  that  sent  me. 


10  And  they  kept  the  saying,  questioning  among  them- 
selves what  the  rising  again  from  the  dead  should 

11  mean.     And  they  asked  him,    saying,  'The  scribes 

12  say  that  E-li'jah  must  first  come.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  E-li'jah  indeed  cometh  first,  and  restoreth  all 
things:  and  how  is  it  written  of  the  Son  of  man, 
that  he  should    suffer   many    things  and  be   set   at 

13 nought?  But  I  say  unto  you,  that  E-li'jah  is  come, 
and  they  have  also  done  unto  him  whatsoever  they 
listed,  even  as  it  is  written  of  him. 

14  And  when  they  came  to  the  disciples,  they  saw  a 
great  multitude  about  them,  and  scribes  questioning 

15  with  them.  And  straightway  all  the  multitude,  when 
they  saw  him,  were  greatly  amazed,  and  running  to 

16  him  saluted  him.     And  he  asked  them.  What  ques- 
17tion    ye    with    them?     And    one  of   the  multitude 

answered  him,  ^Master,  I  brought  unto  thee  my  son, 

18  which  hath  a  dumb  spirit;  and  wheresoever  it  taketh 
him,  it  Masheth  him  down :  and  he  foameth,  and 
grindeth  his  teeth,  and  pineth  away :  and  I  spake  to 
thy  disciples  that  they  should  cast  it  out;  and  they 

19  were  not  able.  And  he  answereth  them  and  saith,  O 
faithless  generation,  how  long  shall  I  be  with  you  ? 
how  long  shall  I  bear  with  you  ?  bring  him  unto  me. 

20  And  they  brought  him  unto  him :  and  when  he  saw 
him,  straightway  the  spirit  *tare  him  grievously ;  and 

21  he  fell  on  the  ground,  and  wallowed  foaming.  And 
he  asked  his  father.  How  long  time  is  it  since  this 
hath  come   unto   him?     And  he  said.  From  a  child. 

22  And  oft-times  it  hath  cast  him  both  into  the  fire  and 
into  the  waters,  to  destroy  him :  but  if  thou  canst 
do  anything,  have  compassion  on  us,  and  help  us. 

23  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  If  thou  canst !     All  things 

24  are  possible  to  him  that  believeth.  Straightway  the 
father  of  the  child  cried  out,  and  said',  I  believe ;  help 

25  thou  mine  unbelief.  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  a 
multitude  came  running  together,  he  rebuked  the 
unclean  spirit,  saying  unto  him,  Thou  dumb  and 
deaf  spirit,  I  command  thee,  come  out  of  him,  and 

26  enter  no  more  into  him.  And  having  cried  out,  and 
*torn  him  much,  he  came  out :  and  the  child  became 
as  one  dead ;  insomuch  that  the  more  part  said,  He 

27  is  dead.     But   Jesus   took  him  by  the   hand,   and 

28  raised  him  up ;  and  he  arose.  And  when  he  was 
■come  into  the  house,   his  disciples   asked  him  pri- 

29  vately,  ^saying,  We  could  not  cast  it  out.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  This  kind  can  come  out  by  nothing, 
save  by  prayer'. 

30  And  they  went  forth  from  thence,  and  passed 
through  Gal'i-lee ;  and  he  would  not  that  any  man 

31  should  know  it.  For  he  taught  his  disciples,  and 
said  unto  them.  The  Son  of  man  is  delivered  up  into 
the  hands  of  men,  and  they  shall  kill  him ;  and  Avhen 
he   is  killed,  after  three  days  he  shall    rise    again. 

32  But  they  understood  not  the  saying,  and  were  afraid 
to  ask  him. 

33  And  they  came  to  Ca-per'na-um:  and  when  he  was 
in  the   house  he  asked  them.  What  were  ye  reason- 

34  ing  in  the  way  ?  But  they  held  their  peace :  for  they 
had  disputed  one  with  another  in  the  way,  who  was 

35  the  'greatest.  And  he  sat  down,  and  called  the 
twelve ;  and  he  saith  unto  them,  If  any  man  would 
be  first,  he  shall  be  last   of  all,  and  minister  of  all. 

36  And  he  took  a  little  child,  and  set  him  in  the  midst 
of  them:  and  taking  him  in  his  arms,  he  said  unto 

37  them,  Whosoever  shall  receive  one  of  such  little

38  ^"And  John  answered  him,  saying,  Master,  we  saw 
one  casting  out  devils  in  thy  name,  and  he  followeth  not 
us ;  and  we  forbade  him,  because  he  followeth  not  us. 

39  But  Jesus  said,  Forbid  him  not:  "'for  there  is  no  man 
which  shall  do  a  miracle  in  my  name,  that  can  lightly  speak 
evil  of  me. 

40  For  "he  that  is  not  against  us  is  on  our  part. 

41  'For  whosoever  shall  give  you  a  cup  of  water  to  drink 
in  my  name,  because  ye  belong  to  Christ,  verily  I  say  unto 
you,  he  shall  not  lose  his  reward. 

42  "And  whosoever  shall  oftend  one  of  these  little  ones 
that  believe  in  me,  it  is  better  for  him  that  a  millstone  were 
hanged  about  his  neck,  and  he  were  east  into  the  sea. 

43  'And  if  thy  hand  ||  offend  thee,  cut  it  off:  it  is  better 
for  thee  to  enter  into  life  maimed,  than  having  two  hands 
to  go  into  hell,  into  the  fire  that  never  shall  be  quenched : 

44  "Where  their  worm  dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched. 

45  And  if  thy  foot  offend  thee,  cut  it  off:  it  is  better  for 
thee  to  enter  halt  into  life,  than  having  two  feet  to  be  cast 
into  hell,  into  the  fire  that  never  shall  be  quenched  : 

46  Where  their  worm  dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched. 

47  And  if  thine  eye  ||  offend  thee,  pluck  it  out :  it  is  better 
for  thee  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God  with  one  eye,

48  Where  their  worm  dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched.

CHAPTER   X. 

Christ  dispttteth  with  the  Pharisees  touching  divorcement. 

AND  "he  arose  from  thence,  and  cometh  into  the  coasts  of 
Ju-de'a  by  the  farther  side  of  Jor'dan:  and  the  people  resort 
unto  him  again  ;  and  as  he  was  wont,  he  taught  them  again. 

2  ^'And  the  Phar'i-sees  came  to  him,  and  asked  him.  Is 
it  lawful  for  a  man  to  put  away  Ms  wife  ?  tempting  him. 

3  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  What  did  Mo'ses 
command  you  ? 

4  And  they  said,  "Mo'ses  suffered  to  write  a  bill  of  divorce- 
ment, and  to  put  her  away. 

5  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  For  the  hard- 
ness of  your  heart  he  wrote  you  this  precept : 

6  But  from  the  beginning  of  the  creation  ''God  made  them 
male  and  female. 

7  'For  this  cause  shall  a  man  leave  his  fiither  and  mother, 
and  cleave  to  his  wife; 

8  And  they  twain  shall  be  one  flesh :  so  then  they  are  no 
more  twain,  but  one  flesh. 

9  What  therefore  God  hath  joined  together,  let  not  man 
put  asunder. 

10  And  in  the  house  his  disciples  asked  him  again  of  the 
same  matter. 

11  And  he  saith  unto  them, -^Whosoever  shall  put  away 
his  wife,  and  marry  another,  committeth  adultery  against  her. 

12  And  if  a  woman  shall  put  away  her  husband,  and  be 
married  to  another,  she  committeth  adultery. 

13  ^"And  they  brought  young  children  to  him,  that  he 
should  touch  them;  and  his  disciples  rebuked  those  that 
brought  them. 

14  But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he  was  much  displeased,  and 
said  unto  them,  Suffer  the  little  children  to  come  unto  me, 
and  forbid  them  not ;  for  'of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  God. 

1 5  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  'Whosoever  shall  not  receive  the 
kingdom  of  God  as  a  little  child,  he  shall  not  enter  therein. 

16  And  he  took  them  up  in  his  arms,  put  his  hands  upon 
them,  and  blessed  them. 

17  ^*And  when  he  was  gone  forth  into  the  way,  there 
came   one   running,  and   kneeled  to  him,  and  asked  him. 


38  John  said  unto  him,  'Master,  we  saw  one  casting 
out  'devils  in  thy  name :   and  we  forbade  him,  be- 

39  cause  he  followed  not  us.  But  Jesus  said.  Forbid 
him  not :  for  there  is  no  man  which  shall  do  a  ^mighty 
work  in  my  name,  and  be  able  quickly  to  speak  evil 

40  of  me.     For  he  that   is   not   against   us   is   for   us. 

41  For  whosoever  shall  give  you  a  cup  of  water  to 
drink,  'because  ye  are  Christ's,  verily  I  say  unto  you, 

42  he  shall  in  no  wise  lose  his  reward.  And  whosoever 
shall  cause  one  of  these  little  ones  that  believe  'on 
me  to  stumble,  it  were  better  for  him  if  *a  great  mill- 
stone were  hanged  about  his  neck,  and  he  were  cast 

43  into  the  sea.  And  if  thy  hand  cause  thee  to  stumble, 
cut  it  off:  it  is  good  for  thee  to  enter  into  life  maimed, 
rather  than  having  thy  two  hands  to  go  into  ^hell, 

45  into  the  unquenchable  fire.'  And  if  thy  foot  cause 
thee  to  stumble,  cut  it  off:  it  is  good  for  thee  to 
enter  into  life  halt,  rather  than  having  thy  two  feet 

47  to  be  cast  into  'hell.  And  if  thine  eye  cause  thee 
to  stumble,  cast  it  out :  it  is  good  for  thee  to  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  God  with  one  eye,  rather  than 

48  having  two  eyes  to  be  cast  into  'hell ;    where  their 

49  worm  dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched.     For 

50  every  one  shall  be  salted  with  fire'.     Salt  is  good 
but  if  the  salt  have  lost  its  saltness,  wherewith  will 
ye   season   it  ?     Have  salt  in  yourselves,  and  be  at 
peace  one  with  another. 

-•-V      And  he  arose  from  thence,  and  cometh  into  the 
borders  of  Ju-dse'a  and  beyond  Jor'dan:  and  multi 
tudes  come  together  unto  him  again ;  and,  as  he  was 

2  wont,  he  taught  them  again.     And  there  came  unto 
him  Phar'i-sees,  and  asked  him.  Is  it  lawful  for  a  man 

3 to  put  away  his  wife?  tempting  him.     And  he  an 
swered  and  said  unto  them,  What  did  Mo'ses  com 

4  mand  you  ?     And  they  said,  Mo'ses  suffered  to  write 

5  a  bill  of  divorcement,  and  to   put   her  away.     But 
•Jesus  said  unto  them.  For  your  hardness   of  heart 

6  he    wrote   you  this   commandment.      But  from  the 
beginning  of  the  creation,  Male  and  female  made  he 

7  them.     For  this  cause  shall  a  man  leave  his  father 
Sand  mother,  '"and  shall  cleave  to  his  wife;    and  the 

twain  shall  become  one  flesh :    so  that  they  are  no 
9  more   twain,  but  one   flesh.     What  therefore  God 

10  hath  joined  together,  let  not  man  put  asunder.  And 
in  the  house  the  disciples  asked    him    again  of  this 

11  matter.  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Whosoever  shall 
put  away  his  wife,  and  marry  another,  committeth 

12 adultery  against  her:  and  if  she  herself  shall  put 
away  her  husband,  and  marry  another,  she  com- 
mitteth adultery. 

13  And  they  brought  ynto  him  little  children,  that 
he  should  touch  them :    and  the   disciples   rebuked 

14  them.  But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he  was  moved  with 
indignation,  and  said  unto  them.  Suffer  the  little 
children  to  come  unto   me;   forbid   them   not:    for 

15  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  God,  Vterily  I  say  unto 
you,  Whosoever  shall  not  receive  the  kingdom  of 
God  as  a  little  child,  he  shall  in  no  wise  enter  there- 

16  in.  And  he  took  them  in  his  arms,  and  blessed 
them,  laying  his  hands  upon  them. 

17  And  as  he  was  going  forth  "into  the  way,  there 
ran  one  to  him,  and  kneeled  to  him,  and  asked  him,

Good  Master,  what  shall  I  do  that  I  may  inherit  eternal 
life? 

18  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Why  callest  thou  me  good  ? 
there  is  none  good  but  one,  that  is,  God. 

19  Thou  knovvest  the  commandments,  'Do  not  commit 
adultery.  Do  not  kill.  Do  not  steal,  Do  not  bear  false  wit- 
ness, Defraud  not.  Honour  thy  father  and  mother. 

20  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Master,  all  these 
have  I  observed  from  my  youth. 

21  Then  Jesus  beholding  him  loved  him,  and  said  unto 
him,  One  thing  thou  lackest:  go  thy  way,  sell  whatsoever 
thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have 
""treasure  in  heaven:  and  come,  take  up  the  cross,  and 
follow  me. 

22  And  he  was  sad  at  that  saying,  and  went  away  grieved : 
for  he  had  great  possessions. 

23  ^"And  Jesus  looked  round  about,  and  saith  unto  his 
disciples,  How  hardly  shall  they  that  have  riches  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  God ! 

24  And  the  disciples  were  astonished  at  his  words.  But 
Jesus  answereth  again,  and  saith  unto  them.  Children,  how 
hard  is  it  for  them  "that  trust  in  riches  to  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  God ! 

25  It  is  easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through  the  eye  of  a 
needle,  than  for  a  rich  man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

26  And  they  were  astonished  out  of  measure,  saying 
among  themselves.  Who  then  can  be  saved  ? 

27  And  Jesus  looking  upon  them  saith,  With  men  it  is 
impossible,  but  not  with  God :  for  ''with  God  all  things  are 
possible. 

28  ^"Then  Pe'ter  began  to  say  unto  him,  Lo,  we  have  left 
all,  and  have  followed  thee. 

29  And  Jesus  answered  and  said,  "Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
There  is  no  man  that  hath  left  house,  or  brethren,  or  sisters, 
or  father,  or  mother,  or  wife,  or  children,  or  lands,  for  my 
sake,  and  the  gospel's, 

30  'But  he  shall  receive  a  hundredfold  now  in  this  time, 
houses,  and  brethren,  and  sisters,  and  mothers,  and  chil- 
dren, and  lands,  with  persecutions;  and  in  the  world  to 
come  eternal  life. 

31  'But  many  that  are  first  shall  be  last ;  and  the  last  first. 

32  ^'And  they  were  in  the  way  going  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
and  Jesus  went  before  them:  and  they  were  amazed;  and 
as  they  followed,  they  were  afraid.  "And  he  took  again 
the  twelve,  and  began  to  tell  them  what  things  should 
happen  unto  him, 

33  Saying,  Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  the  Son 
of  man  shall  be  delivered  unto  the  chief  priests,  and  unto 
the  scribes;  and  they  shall  condemn  him  to  death,  and 
shall  deliver  him  to  the  Gentiles: 

34  And  they  shall  mock  him,  and  shall  scourge  him,  and 
shall  spit  upon  him,  and  shall  kill  him ;  and  the  third  day 
he  shall  rise  again. 

35  *||'And  James  and  John,  the  sons  of  Zeb'e-dee,  come 
unto  him,  saying.  Master,  we  would  that  thou  shouldest  do 
for  us  whatsoever  we  shall  desire. 

36  And  he  said  unto  them,  What  would  ye  that  I  should 
do  for  you  ? 

37  They  said  unto  him.  Grant  unto  us  that  we  may  sit, 
one  on  thy  right  hand,  and  the  other  on  thy  left  hand,  in 
thy  glory. 

38  But  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask : 
can  ye  drink  of  the  cup  that  I  drink  of?  and  be  baptized 
with  the  baptism  that  1  am  baptized  with  ? 

39  And  they  said  unto  him,  We  can.  And  Jesus  said 
unto  them.  Ye  shall  indeed  drink  of  the  cuj)  that  I  drink  of; 
and  with  the  baptism  that  I  am  baptized  withal  shall  ye  be 
baptized : 

40  But  to  sit  on  my  right  hand  and  on  my  left  hand  is 


Good  'Master,  what  shall  I  do  that  I  may  inherit 

18  eternal  life?  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Why  callest 
thou   me  good?  none  is  good  save  one,  even  God. 

19  Thou  knowest  the  commandments.  Do  not  kill.  Do 
not  commit  adultery.  Do  not  steal.  Do  not  bear  false 
witness.  Do  not  defraud,    Honour    thy    father   and 

20  mother.     And  he  said  unto  him,  'Master,   all  these 

21  things  have  I  observed  from  my  youth.  And  Jesus 
looking  upon  him  loved  him,  and  said  unto  him. 
One  thing  thou  lackest:  go,  sell  whatsoever  thou 
hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and    thou   shalt   have 

22  treasure  in  heaven ;  and  come,  follow  me.  But 
his  countenance  fell  at  the  saying,  and  he  went 
away  sorrowful:  for  he  was  one  that  had  great 
possessions. 

23  And  Jesus  looked  round  about,  and  saith  unto 
his    disciples.    How    hardly    shall   they   that   have 

24  riches  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God !  And  the 
disciples  were  amazed  at  his  words.  But  Jesus 
answereth  again,  and  saith  unto  them.  Children, 
how  hard  is  it  ^for  them  that  trust  in    riches   to 

25 enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God!  It  is  easier  for 
a  camel  to  go  through  a  needle's  eye,  than    for  a 

26  rich  man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God.  And 
they   were    astonished    exceedingly,    saying   ^unto 

27 him.  Then  who  can  be  saved?  Jesus  looking 
upon  them  saith.  With  men  it  is  impossible,  but 
not  with  God:    for    all    things   are   possible   with 

28  God.     Pe'ter  began  to  say  unto  him,  Lo,  we  have 

29  left  all,  and  have  followed  thee.  Jesus  said,  Verily 
I  say  unto  you.  There  is  no  man  that  hath  left 
house,  or  brethren,  or  sisters,  or  mother,  or  father, 
or  children,  or  lands,  for  my  sake,  and  for  the  gos- 

30  pel's  sake,  but  he  shall  receive  a  hundredfold  now 
in  this  time,  houses,  and  brethren,  and  sisters,  and 
mothers,  and  children,  and  lands,  with  persecutions ; 

31  and  in  the  *world  to  come  eternal  life.  But  many 
that  are  first  shall  be  last ;  and  the  last  first. 

32  And  they  were  in  the  way,  going  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem; 
and  Jesus  was  going  before  them:  and  they  were 
amazed ;  'and  they  that  followed  were  afraid.  And 
he  took  again  the  twelve,   and  began  to  tell  them 

33  the  things  that  were  to  happen  unto  him,  saying, 
Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  the  Son  of 
man  shall  be  delivered  unto  the  chief  priests  and 
the  scribes;   and  they  shall  condemn  him  to  death, 

84 and  shall  deliver  him  unto  the  Gentiles:  and  they 
shall  mock  him,  and  shall  spit  upon  him,  and  shall 
scourge  him,  and  shall  kill  him ;  and  after  three 
days  he  shall  rise  again. 

35  And  there  come  near  unto  him  James  and  John, 
the  sons  of  Zeb'e-dee,  saying  unto  him,  'Master,  we 
would  that  thou  shouldest  do  for  us  whatsoever  we 

36  shall  ask  of  thee.     And  he  said  unto  them.  What 

37  would  ye  that  I  should  do  for  you  ?  And  they  said 
unto  him,  Grant  unto  us  that  we  may  sit,  one  on 
thy  right  hand,  and  one  on  thy  left  hand,    in   thy 

38  glory.  But  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Ye  know  not 
what  ye  ask.  Are  ye  able  to  drink  the  cup  that 
I  drink?   or  to  be  baptized  with  the  baptism  that 

391  am  baptized  with?  And  they  said  unto  him. 
We  are  able.  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  The  cup 
that  I  drink  ye  shall  drink ;  and  with  the  baptism 
that  I  am  baptized  withal   shall    ye    be    baptized : 

40  but  to  sit  on  my  right  hand  or  on  my  left  band  is

41  "And  when  the  ten  heard  it,  they  began  to  be  much 
displeased  with  James  and  John. 

42  But  Jesus  called  them  to  him,  and  saith  unto  them, 'Ye 
know  that  they  which  ||  are  accounted  to  rule  over  the  Gen- 
tiles exercise  lordship  over  them ;  and  their  great  ones  ex- 
ercise authority  upon  them. 

43  "But  so  shall  it  not  be  among  you :  but  whosoever 
will  be  great  among  you,  shall  be  your  minister : 

44  And  whosoever  of  you  will  be  the  chiefest,  shall  be 
servant  of  all. 

45  For  even  'the  Son  of  man  came  not  to  be  ministered 
unto,  but  to  minister,  and  "to  give  his  life  a  ransom  for  many. 

46  ^''And  they  cam^  to  Jer'i-cho :  and  as  he  went  out 
of  Jer'i-cho  with  his  disciples,  and  a  great  number  of  people, 
blind  Bar-ti-me'us,  the  son  of  Ti-me'us,  sat  by  the  highway 
side  begging. 

47  And  when  he  heard  that  it  was  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  he 
began  to  cry  out,  and  say,  Jesus,  thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have 
mercy  on  me. 

48  And  many  charged  him  that  be  should  hold  his  peace : 
but  he  cried  the  more  a  great  deal.  Thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have 
mercy  on  me. 

49  And  Jesus  stood  still,  and  commanded  him  to  be 
called.  And  they  call  the  blind  man,  saying  unto  him,  Be 
of  good  comfort,  rise ;  he  calleth  thee. 

50  And  he, casting  away  his  garment,  rose, and  came  to  Jesus. 

51  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  What  wilt 
thou  that  I  should  do  unto  thee?  The  blind  man  said 
unto  him.  Lord,  that  I  might  receive  my  sight. 

52  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Go  thy  way ;  'thy  faith  hath 
II  made  thee  whole.  And  immediately  he  received  his  sight, 
and  followed  Jesus  in  the  way. 

CHAPTER    XI. 

Christ  rideth  into  Jerusalem, 

AND  "when  they  came  nigh  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  unto  Beth'- 
pha-ge,   and   Beth'a-ny,   at   the   mount   of  Olives,  he 
sendeth  forth  two  of  his  disciples, 

2  And  saith  unto  them.  Go  your  way  into  the  village  over 
against  you  :  and  as  soon  as  ye  be  entered  into  it,  ye  shall  find 
a  colt  tied,  whereon  never  man  sat ;  loose  him,  and  bring  him. 

3  And  if  any  man  say  unto  you,  ,Why  do  ye  this  ?  say  ye 
that  the  Lord  hath  need  of  him;  and  straightway  he  will 
send  him  hither. 

4  And  they  went  their  way,  and  found  the  colt  tied  by  the 
door  without  in  a  place  where  two  ways  met;  and  they 
loose  him. 

5  And  certain  of  them  that  stood  there  said  unto  them. 
What  do  ye,  loosing  the  colt? 

6  And  they  said  unto  them  even  as  Jesus  had  commanded : 
and  they  let  them  go. 

7  And  they  brought  the  colt  to  Jesus,  and  cast  their  gar- 
ments on  him ;  and  he  sat  upon  him. 

8  'And  many  spread  their  garments  in  the  way ;  and  others 
cut  down  branches  off  the  trees,  and  strewed  them  in  the  way. 

9  And  they  that  went  before,  and  they  that  followed,  cried, 
saying,  '^Hosanna :  Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord : 

10  Blessed  he  the  kingdom  of  our  father  Da'vid,  that 
cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord :  ''Hosanna  in  the  highest. 
11  'And  Jesus  entered  into  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  into  the  temple  : 
and  when  he  had  looked  round  about  upon  all  things,  and 
now  the  eventide  was  come,  he  went  out  unto  Beth'a-ny, 
with  the  twelve. 

12  ^■'^And  on  the  morrow,  when  they  were  come  from 
Beth'a-ny,  he  was  hungry  : 

13  'And  seeing  a  fig  tree  afar  ofT  having  leaves,  he  came, 
if  haply  he  might  find  any  thing  thereon  :  and  when  he  came 


not  mine  to  give :  but  it  is  for  them  for  whom  it  hath 

41  been  prepared.  And  when  the  ten  heard  it,  they 
began   to    be    moved   with    indignation   concerning 

42  James  and  John.  And  Jesus  called  them  to  him, 
and  saith  unto  them.  Ye  know  that  they  which  are 
accounted  to  rule  over  the  Gentiles  lord  it  over 
them;  and  their  great  ones  exercise  authority  over 

43  them.  But  it  is  not  so  among  you :  but  whosoever 
would  become  great  among  you,  shall  be  your  'min- 

44  ister  :  and  whosoever  would  be  first  among  you,  shall 

45  be  ^servant  of  all.  For  verily  the  Son  of  man  came 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to  minister,  and  to 
give  his  life  a  ransom  for  many. 

46  And  they  come  to  Jer'i-cho :  and  as  he  went  out 
from  Jer'i-cho,  with  his  disciples  and  a  great  multi- 
tude, the  son  of  Ti-mse'us,  Bar-ti-mse'us,  a  blind  beggar, 

47  was  sitting  by  the  way  side.  And  when  he  heard 
that  it  was  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  he  began  to  cry  out, 
and  say,  Jesus,  thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have  mercy  on 

48  me.  And  many  rebuked  him,  that  he  should  hold 
his  peace,  but  he   cried   out  the  more  a  great  deal, 

49  Thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have  mercy  on  me.  And  Jesus 
stood  still,  and  said.  Call  ye  him.  And  they  call 
the  blind  man,  saying  unto  him.  Be  of  good  cheer: 

50  rise,  he  calleth  thee.     And  he,  casting  away  his  gar- 

51  ment,  sprang  up,  and  came  to  Jesus.  And  Jesus 
answered  him,  and  said.  What  wilt  thou  that  I 
should  do  unto  thee?  And  the  blind  man  said 
unto   him,  'Rabboni,  that  I  may  receive  my  sight. 

52  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Go  thy  way;  thy  faith 
hath  *made  thee  whole.  And  straightway  he  re- 
ceived his  sight,  and  followed  him  in  the  way. 

*■*■  And  when  they  draw  nigh  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  unto 
Beth'pha-ge  and  Beth'a-ny,  at  the  mount  of  Olives, 

2  he  sendeth  two  of  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto 
them.  Go  your  way  into  the  village  that  is  over 
against  you :  and  straightway  as  ye  enter  into  it,  ye 
shall  find  a  colt  tied,  whereon  no  man  ever  yet  sat; 

3  loose  him,  and  bring  him.  And  if  any  one  say  unto 
you.  Why  do  ye  this  ?  say  ye,  The  Lord  hath  need 
of  him;   and   straightway   he  'will  send   him  ^back 

4  hither.  And  they  went  away,  and  found  a  colt  tied 
at  the  door  without  in   the  open  street;   and  they 

5  loose  him.  And  certain  of  them  that  stood  there 
said    unto    them.  What    do    ye,  loosing    the    colt? 

6  And  they  said  unto  them  even  as  Jesus  had  said 

7  and  they  let  them  go.  And  they  bring  the  colt 
unto  Jesus,  and    cast  on  him  their  garments;   and 

8  he  sat  upon  him.  And  many  spread  their  gar- 
ments upon  the  way;   and  others  'branches,  which 

9  they  had  cut  from  the  fields.  And  they  that  went 
before,  and  they  that  followed,  cried,  Hosanna; 
Blessed    is    he    that   cometh    in   the   name    of  the 

10 Lord:  Blessed  is  the  kingdom  that  cometh,  the 
kingdom  of  our  fiither  Da'vid:  Hosanna  in  the 
highest. 

11  And  he  entered  into  Je-ru'sa-lem,  into  the  temple; 
and  when  he  had  looked  round  about  upon  all 
things,  it  being  now  eventide,  he  went  out  unto 
Beth'a-ny  with  the  twelve.  ♦ 

12  And    on    the    morrow,  when    they  were  come  out 

13  from  Beth'a-ny,  he  hungered.  And  seeing  a  fig 
tree  afar  off  having  leaves,  he  came,  if  haply  he 
might  find  anything  thereon :    and  when  he  came

to  it,  he  found  nothing  but  leaves ;  for  the  time  of  figs  was 
not  yet. 

14  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  it,  No  man  eat 
fruit  of  thee  hereafter  for  ever.     And  his  disciples  heard  it. 

15  ^*And  they  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  Jesus  went  into 
the  temple  and.  began  to  cast  out  them  that  sold  and  bought 
in    the   temple,   and    overthrew  the  tables  of  the  money 
changers,  and  the  seats  of  them  that  sold  doves ; 

16  And  would  not  suffer  that  any  man  should  carry  any 
vessel  through  the  temple. 

17  And  he  taught,  saying  unto  them,  Is  it  not  written, 
'My  house  shall  be  called  ||of  all  nations  the  house  of 
prayer?  but  *ye  have  made  it  a  den  of  thieves. 

18  And  'the  scribes  and  chief  priests  heard  it,  and  sought 
how  they  might  destroy  him:  for  they  feared  him,  because 
'"all  the  people  was  astonished  at  his  doctrine. 

19  And  when  even  was  come,  he  went  out  of  the  city. 

20  ^"And  in  the  morning,  as  they  passed  by,  they  saw 
the  fig  tree  dried  up  from  the  roots. 

21  And  Pe'ter  calling  to  remembrance  saith  unto  him, 
Master,  Behold  the  fig  tree  which  thou  cursedst  is  withered 
away. 

22  And  Jesus  answering,  saith  unto  them,  ||  Have  faith 
in  God. 

23  For  "verily  I  say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  shall  say 
unto  this  mountain.  Be  thou  removed,  and  be  thou  cast 
into  the  sea;  and  shall  not  doubt  in  his  heart,  but  shall 
believe  that  those  things  which  he  saith  shall  come  to  pass ; 
he  shall  have  whatsoever  he  saith. 

24  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  ''What  things  soever  ye  de- 
sire, when  ye  pray,  believe  that  ye  receive  them,  and  ye  shall 
have  them. 

25  And  when  ye  stand  praying,  'forgive,  if  ye  have  aught 
against  any ;  that  your  Father  also  which  is  in  heaven  may 
forgive  you  your  trespasses. 

26  But  'if  ye  do  not  forgive,  neither  will  your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven  forgive  your  trespasses. 

27  ^And  they  come  again  to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  'and  as  he  was 
walking  in  the  temple,  there  come  to  him  the  chief  priests, 
and  the  scribes,  and  the  elders, 

28  And  say  unto  him,  By  what  authority  doest  thou  these 
things?  and  who  gave  thee  this  authority  to  do  these  things? 

29  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I  will  also 
ask  of  you  one  ||  question,  and  answer  me,  and  I  will  tell 
you  by  what  authority  I  do  these  things. 

30  The  baptism  of  John,  was  it  from  heaven,  or  of  men  ? 
answer  me. 

31  And  they  reasoned  with  themselves,  saying.  If  we  shall 
say,  From  heaven ;  he  will  say,  why  then  did  ye  not  believe 
him? 

32  But  if  we  shall  say.  Of  men ;  they  feared  the  people : 
for  'all  men  counted  John,  that  he  was  a  prophet  indeed. 

33  And  they  answered  and  said  unto  Jesus,  We  cannot 
tell.  And  Jesus  answering  saith  unto  them,  Neither  do  I 
tell  you  by  what  authority  I  do  these  things. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

Parable  of  ike  vineyard—Paying  of  tribute— The  Sadducees  confuted^  &c. 

AND  "he  began  to  speak  unto  them  by  parables.  A  cer- 
tain man  planted  a  vineyard,  and  set  a  hedge  about  it, 
and  digged  a  place  for  the  winefat,  and  built  a  tower,  and 
let  it  out  to  husbandmen,  and  went  into  a  far  country. 

2  And  at  the  season  he  sent  to  the  husbandmen  a  servant, 
that  he  might  receive  from  the  husbandmen  of  the  fruit  of 
the  vineyard. 

3  And  they  caugM  him,  and  beat  him,  and  sent  him  away 
empty. 

4  And  again  he  sent  unto  them  another  servant ;  and  at 
him  they  cast  stones,  and  wounded  him  in  the  head,  and 
sent  him  away  shamefully  handled. 


to  it,  he  found  nothing  but  leaves;  for  it  was  not 

14  the  season  of  figs.  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
it.  No  man  eat  fruit  from  thee  henceforward  for  ever. 
And  his  disciples  heard  it. 

15  And  they  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  he  entered 
into  the  temple,  and  began  to  cast  out  them  that  sold 
and  them  that  bought  in  the  temple,  and  overthrew 
the  tables  of  the  money-changers,  and  the  seats  of 

16 them  that  sold  the  doves;  and  he  would  not  suffer 
that  any  man  should  carry  a  vessel  through    the 

17  temple.     And  he  taught,  and  said  unto  them.  Is  it 
*    not  written,  My  house  shall  be  called  a  house  of 

prayer  for  all  the  nations?  but  ye  have  made  it  a  den  of 

18  robbers.  And  the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes  heard 
it,  and  sought  how  they  might  destroy  him :  for  they 
feared  him,  for  all  the  multitude  was  astonished  at 
his  teaching. 

19  And  'every  evening  %e  went  forth  out  of  the  city. 

20  And  as  they   passed   by   in  the  morning,  they  saw 

21  the  fig  tree  withered  away  from  the  roots.  And 
Pe'ter  calling  to  remembrance  saith  unto  him.  Rabbi, 
behold,  the  fig  tree  which  thou  cursedst  is  withered 

22  away.     And  Jesus  answering  saith  unto  them,  Have 

23  faith  in  God.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Whosoever 
shall  say  unto  this  mountain,  Be  thou  taken  up  and 
cast  into  the  sea;  and  shall  not  doubt  in  his  heart, 
but  shall  believe  that  what  he  saith  cometh  to  pass ; 

24  he  shall  have  it.  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  All 
things  whatsoever  ye  pray  and  ask  for,  believe  that 
ye  have  received  them,   and  ye   shall    have   them. 

25  And  whensoever  ye  stand  praying,  forgive,  if  ye 
have  aught  against  any  one ;  that  your  Father  also 
which  is  in  heaven  may  forgive  you  your  tres- 
passes.^ 

27  And  they  come  again  to  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  as  he 
was  walking  in  the  temple,  there  come  to  him  the 

28  chief  priests,  and  the  scribes,  and  the  elders :  and 
they  said  unto  him.  By  what  authority  doest  thou 
these  things  ?  or  who  gave  thee  this  authority  to  do 

29 these  things?  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  I  will 
ask  of  you  one  ^question,  and  answer  me,  and  I  will 

SOtell  you  by  what  authority  I  do  these  things.  The 
baptism  of  John,  was  it  from  heaven,  or  from  men  ? 

31  answer  me.  And  they  reasoned  with  themselves, 
saying.  If  we  shall  say.  From  heaven ;  he  will  say, 

32  Why  then  did  ye  not  believe  him?  *But  should  we 
say.  From  men — they   feared  the  people:  *for  all 

33  verily  held  John  to  be  a  prophet.  And  they  an- 
swered Jesus  and  say,  We  know  not.  And  Jesus 
saith  unto  them.  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what  author- 
ity I  do  these  things. 

-l>4  And  he  began  to  speak  unto  them  in  para- 
bles. A  man  planted  a  vineyard,  and  set  a  hedge 
about  it,  and  digged  a  pit  for  the  wine-press,  and 
built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out  to  husbandmen,  and 

2  went  into  another  country.  And  at  the  season 
he  sent  to  the  husbandmen  a  'servant,  that  he 
might   receive  from   the  husbandmen  of  the  fruits 

3  of  the  vineyard.      And  they  took  him,  and   beat 

4  him,  and  sent  him  away  empty.  And  again  he 
sent  unto  them  another  'servant;  and  him  they 
wounded    in    the    head,    and    handled    shamefully.

5  And  again  he  sent  anotneri  and  him  they  killed,  and 
many  others;  beating  some,  and  killing  some. 

6  Having  yet  therefore  one  son,  his  well  beloved,  he 
sent  him  also  last  unto  them,  saying,  They  will  reverence 
my  son. 

7  But  those  husbandmen  said  among  themselves.  This  is 
the  heir;  come,  let  us  kill  him,  and  the  inheritance  shall 
be  ours. 

8  And  they  took  him,  and  killed  him,  and  cast  him  out  of 
the  vineyard. 

9  What  shall  therefore  the  lord  of  the  vineyard  do?  he 
will  come  and  destroy  the  husbandmen,  and  will  give  the 
vineyard  unto  others. 

10  And  have  ye  not  read  this  Scripture ;  ''The  stone  which 
the  builders  rejected  is  become  the  head  of  the  corner: 

11  This  was  the  Lord's  doing,  and  it  is  marvellous  in  our 
eyes? 

12  "And  they  sought  to  lay  hold  on  him,  but  feared  the 
people;  for  they  knew  that  he  had  spolcen  the  parable 
again.i^t  them  :  and  they  left  him,  and  went  their  way. 

13  %''And  they  .send  unto  him  certain  of  the  Phar'i-sees, 
and  of  the  He-ro'di-ans,  to  catch  him  in  his  words. 

14  And  when  they  were  come,  they  say  unto  him, 
Master,  we  know  that  thou  art  true,  and  carest  for  no  man ; 
for  thou  regardest  not  the  per.son  of  men,  but  teachest  the 
way  of  God  in  truth :  Is  it  lawful  to  give  tribute  to  Ce'sar, 
or  not? 

15  Shall  we  give,  or  shall  we  not  give?  But  he,  knowing 
their  hypocri.sy,  said  unto  them.  Why  tempt  ye  me?  bring 
me  a  ||  penny,  that  I  may  see  it. 

16  And  they'brought  it.  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Whose 
is  this  image  and  superscription?  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Ce'sar's. 

17  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  them,  Render  to  Ce'sar 
the  things  that  are  Ce'sar's,  and  to  God  the  things  that  are 
God's.     And  they  marvelled  at  him. 

18  ^'Then  come  unto  him  the  Sad'du-cees,  Avhich  say 
there  is  no  resurrection ;  and  they  asked  him,  saying, 

19  Master,  "Mo'ses  wrote  unto  us,  If  a  man's  brother  die, 
and  leave  his  wife  behind  him,  and  leave  no  children,  that 
his  brother  should  take  his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed  unto  his 
brother. 

20  Now  there  were  seven  brethren :  and  the  first,  took  a 
wife,  and  dying  left  no  seed. 

21  And  the  second  took  her,  and  died,  neither  left  he  any 
seed:  and  the  third  likewise. 

22  And  the  seven  had  her,  and  left  no  seed :  last  of  all 
the  woman  died  also. 

23  In  the  resurrection  therefore,  when  they  shall  rise,  whose 
wife  shall  she  be  of  them  ?  for  the  seven  had  her  to  wife. 

24  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  them.  Do  ye  not  there- 
fore err,  because  ye  know  not  the  Scriptures,  neither  the 
power  of  God  ? 

25  For  when  they  shall  rise  from  the  dead,  they  neither 
marry,  nor  are  given  in  marriage ;  but  *are  as  the  angels 
which  are  in  heaven. 

26  And  as  touching  the  dead,  that  they  rise ;  have  ye  not 
read  in  the  book  of  Mo'ses,  how  in  the  bush  God  spake 
unto  him,  saying,  'I  am  the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  and  the  God 
of  I'saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob? 

27  He  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead,  but  the  God  of  the 
living:  ye  therefore  do  greatly  err. 

28  'ly'And  one  of  the  scribes  came,  and  having  heard 
them  reasoning  together,  and  perceiving  that  he  had 
answered  them  well,  asked  him.  Which  is  the  first  com- 
mandment of  all  ? 

29  And  Jesus  answered  him,  The  first  of  all  the  com- 
mandments is,  'Hear,  O  Is'ra-el ;  The  Lord  our  God  is  one 
Lord: 


5 And  he   sent   another;    and  him  they  killed:  and 

6  many  others ;  beating  some,  and  killing  some.  He 
had  yet  one,  a  beloved   son :  he  sent  him  last  unto 

7  them,  saying,  They  will  reverence  my  son.  But 
those  husbandmen  said  among  themselves,  This 
is  the  heir:    come,  let  us  kill  him,  and  the  inher- 

8  itance  shall  be  ours.     And  they  took  him,  and  killed 

9  him,  and  cast  him  forth  out  of  the  vineyard.  What 
therefore  will  the  lord  of  the  vineyard  do?  he  will 
come    and    destroy  the  husbandmen,  and  will  give 

10  the  vineyard  unto  others.  Have  ye  not  read  even 
this  scripture  ? 

The  stone  which  the  builders  rejected. 
The  same  was  made  the  head  of  the  corner : 

11  This  was  from  the  Lord, 

And  it  is  marvellous  in  our  eyes  ? 

12  And  they  sought  to  lay  hold  on  him ;  and  they 
feared  the  multitude;  for  they  perceived  that  he 
spake  the  parable  against  them :  and  they  left  him, 
and  went  away. 

13  And  they  send  unto  him  certain  of  the  Phar'i-sees 
and  of  the  He-ro'di-an.s,  that  they  might  catch  him  in 

14  talk.  And  when  they  were  come,  they  say  unto 
him,  'Master,  we  know  that  thou  art  true,  and  carest 
not  for  any  one :  for  thou  regardest  not  the  person 
of  men,  but  of  a  truth  teachest  the  way  of  God :  Is 

15  it  lawful  to  give  tribute  unto  Cse'sar,  or  not  ?  Shall 
we  give,  or  shall  we  not  give?  But  he,  knowing 
their  hypocrisy,  said  unto  them.  Why  tempt  ye  me? 

16  bring  me  a  ^penny,  that  I  may  see  it.  And  they 
brought  it.  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Whose  is  this 
image  and  superscription  ?     And  they  said  unto  him, 

17  Cse'sar's.  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Render  unto 
Cse'sar  the  things  that  are  Cse'sar's,  and  unto  God 
the  things  that  are  God's.  And  they  marvelled 
greatly  at  him. 

18  And  there  come  unto  him  Sad'du-cees,  which  say 
that   there   is   no   resurrection;  and    they  ask  him, 

19  saying,  'Master,  Mo'ses  wrote  unto  us.  If  a  man's 
brother  die,  and  leave  a  wife  behind  him,  and  leave 
no  child,  that  his  brother  should  take  his  wife,  and 

20  raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother.  There  were  seven 
brethren :  and  the  first  took  a  wife,  and  dying  left 

21  no  seed ;  and  the  second  took  her,  and  died,  leav- 
ing no  seed  behind  him ;  and  the  third  likewise : 

22  and  the  seven  left  no  seed.     Last  of  all  the  woman 

23  also  died.     In  the  resurrection  whose  wife  shall  she 

24  be  of  them  ?  for  the  seven  had  her  to  wife.  Jesus 
said  unto  them.  Is  it  not  for  this  cause  that  ye  err, 
that  ye  know  not  the  scriptures,  nor  the  power  of 

25 God?  For  when  they  shall  rise  from  the  dead,  they 
neither  marry,  nor  are  given  in  marriage ;  but  are  as 

26  angels  in  heaven.  But  as  touching  the  dead,  that 
they  are  raised;  have  ye  not  read  in  the  book  of 
Mo'ses,  in  the  place  concerning  the  Bush,  how  God 
spake  unto  him,  saying,  I  am  the  God  of  A'bra-ham, 

27  and  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob  ?  He 
is  not  the  God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the  living :  ye  do 
greatly  err. 

28  And  one  of  the  scribes  came,  and  heard  them 
ouestioning  together,  and  knowing  that  he  had  an- 
wered  them  well,  asked  him.  What  commandment  is 

29  the  first  of  all  ?  Jesus  answered.  The  first  is.  Hear, 
O  Is'ra-el;  'The  Lord  our  God,  the  Lord  is  one:

30  And  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind,  and  with 
all  thy  strength :  this  is  the  first  commandment. 

31  And  the  second  is  like,  namely  this,  "Thou  shalt  love 
thy  neighbour  as  thyself:  there  is  none  other  command- 
ment greater  than  these. 

32  And  the  scribe  said  unto  him,  Well,  Master,  thou  hast 
said  the  truth:  for  there  is  one  God;  "and  there  is  none 
other  but  he: 

33  And  to  love  him  with  all  the  heart,  and  with  all  the 
understanding,  and  with  all  the  soul,  and  with  all  the 
strength,  and  to  love  his  neighbour  as  himself,  °is  more  than 
all  whole  burnt  oiferings  and  sacrifices. 

34  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he  answered  discreetly,  he 
said  unto  him.  Thou  art  not  far  from  the  kingdom  of  God. 
"And  no  man  after  that  durst  ask  him  any  question. 

35  ^«And  Jesus  answered  and  said,  while  he  taught  in 
the  temple.  How  say  the  scribes  that  Christ  is  the  son  of 
Da'vid  ? 

36  For  Da'vid  himself  said  %  the  Holy  Gh(jst,  'The 
Lord  said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand,  till  I 
make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool. 

37  Da'vid  therefore  himself  calleth  him  Lord;  and  whence 
is  he  then  his  sou?  And  the  common  people  heard  him 
gladly. 

38  *f[And  'he  said  unto  them  in  his  doctrine,  "Beware  of 
the  scribes,  which  love  to  go  in  long  clothing,  and  ''love 
salutations  in  the  marketplaces, 

39  And  the  chief  seats  in  the  synagogues,  and  the  upper- 
most rooms  at  feasts: 

40  "Which  devour  widows'  houses,  and  for  a  pretence 
make  long  prayers:  these  shall  receive  greater  damna- 
tion. 

41  ^'And  Jesus  sat  over  against  the  treasury,  and  beheld 
how  the  people  cast  || money  "into  the  treasury:  and  many 
that  were  rich  cast  in  much. 

42  And  there  came  a  certain  poor  widow,  and  she  threw  in 
two  ]|  mites,  which  make  a  farthing. 

43  And  he  called  unto  him  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto 
them.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  That  ""this  poor  widow  hath 
cast  more  in,  than  all  they  which  have  cast  into  the 
treasury : 

44  For  all  they  did  cast  in  of  their  abundance ;  but  she  of 
her  want  did' cast  in  all  that  she  had,  'even  all  her  living. 

CHAPTER    XIII. 

Chyist /oreUllftk  the  destruction  of  the  temple — What  signs  should  go  before,  &c. 

AND  "as  he  went  out  of  the  temple,  one  of  his  disciples 
saith  unto  him,  Master,  see  what  manner  of  stones  and 
what  buildings  are  here! 

2  And  Jesus  answering,  said  unto  him,  Seest  thou  these 
great  buildings?  Hhere  shall  not  be  left  one  stone  upon  an- 
other, that  shall  not  be  thrown  down. 

3  And  as  he  sat  upon  the  mount  of  Olives,  over  against 
the  temple,  Pe'ter  and  James  and  John  and  An'drew  asked 
him  privately, 

4  ''Tell  us,  when  shall  these  things  be?  and  what  shall  be 
the  sign  when  all  these  things  shall  be  fulfilled? 

5  And  Jesus  answering  them  began  to  say,  ''Take  heed  lest 
any  man  deceive  you : 

6  For  many  shall  come  in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  Lhrist; 
and  shall  deceive  many. 

7  And  when  ye  shall  hear  of  wars,  and  rumours  of  wars, 
be  ye  not  troubled  :  for  such  things  must  needs  be ;  but  the 
end  shall  not  be  yet. 

8  For  nation  shall  rise  against  nation,  and  kingdom  against 
kingdom :  and  there  shall  be  earthquakes  in  divers  places, 
and  there  shall  be  famines,  and  trouoles :  'these  are  the  be- 
ginnings II  of  sorrows. 


30  and  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  'with  all 
thy  heart,  and  'with  all  thy  soul,  and  'with  all  thy 

31  mind,  and  'with  all  thy  strength.  The  second  is 
this.  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself 
There   is   none    other   commandment   greater  than 

32  these.  And  the  scribe  said  unto  him.  Of  a  truth, 
^Master,  thou  hast  well  said  that  he  is  one ;  and  there 

33  is  none  other  but  he :  and  to  love  him  with  all  the 
heart,  and  with  all  the  understanding,  and  with  all 
the  strength,  and  to  love  his  neighbour  as  himself, 
is  much  more    than   all  whole  burnt  offerings  and 

34  sacrifices.  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he  answered 
discreetly,  he  said  unto  him.  Thou  art  not  far  from 
the  kingdom  of  God.  And  no  man  after  that  durst 
ask  him  any  question. 

35  And  Jesus  answered  and  said,  as  he  taught  in  the 
temple,  How  say  the  scribes  that  the  Christ  is  the 

36  son  of  Da'vid  ?  Da'vid  himself  said  in  the  Holy 
Spirit, 

The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

Till  I  make  thine  enemies  'the  footstool  of  thy 
feet. 

37  Da'vid  himself  calleth  him  Lord ;  and  whence  is  he 
his  son?  And  *the  common  people  heard  him 
gladly. 

38  And  in  his  teaching  he  said.  Beware  of  the  scribes, 
which  desire  to  walk  in  long  robes,  and  to  have  salu- 

39  tations  in  the  marketplaces,  and  chief  seats  in  the 
40 synagogues,  and  chief  places  at  feasts:    they  which 

devour  widows'  houses,  'and  for  a  pretence  make 
long  prayers;  these  shall  receive  greater  condem- 
nation. 

41  And  he  sat  down  over  against  the  treasury,  and 
beheld  how  the  multitude  cast  'money  into  the 
treasury :   and  many  that  were  rich  cast  in  much. 

42  And  there  came  ^a  poor  widow,  and  she  cast  in  two 
43 mites,  which  make  a  farthing.     And  he  called  unto 

him  his  disciples,  and  said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  This  poor  widow  cast  in  more  than  all 
44 they  which  are  casting  into  the  treasury:  for  they 
all  did  cast  in  of  their  superfluity;  but  she  of  her 
want  did  cast  in  all  that  she  had,  even  all  her 
living. 

It)  And  as  he  went  forth  out  of  the  temple,  one 
of  his  disciples  saith  unto  him,  ^Master,  behold, 
what  manner  of  stones  and  what  manner  of  build- 

2  ings !  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Seest  thou  these 
great  buildings?  there  shall  not  be  left  here  one 
stone  upon  another,  which  shall  not  be  thrown  down. 

3  And  as  he  sat  on  the  mount  of  Olives  over  against 
the  temple,  Pe'ter  and  James  and  John  and  An'drew 

4  asked  him  privately.  Tell  us,  when  shall  these  things 
be?  and  what  shall  be  the   .sign  when  these  things 

5  are  all  about  to  be  accomplished  ?  And  Jesus  began 
to  say  unto  them,  Take  heed  that  no  man  lead  you 

6  astray.     Many  shall  come  in  my  name,  saying,  1  am 
The;    and   shall   lead   many  astray.     And   when   ye 

shall  hear  of  wars  and  rumours  of  wars,  be  not 
troubled:  these  things  must  needs  come  to  pass;  but 
8  the  end  is  not  yet.  For  nation  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against  kingdom :  there  shall 
be  earthquakes  in  divers  places;  there  shall  be 
famines  :  these  things  are  the  beginning  of  travail.

9  -TBut  take  heed  to  yourselves :  for  they  shall  deliver  you 
up  to  councils ;  and  in  the  synagogues  ye  shall  be  beaten : 
and  ye  shall  be  brought  before  rulers  and  kings  for  my  sake, 
for  a  testimony  against  them. 

10  And  "the  gospel  must  first  be  published  among  all  nations. 

11  'But  when  they  shall  lead  you,  and  deliver  you  up,  take 
no  thought  beforehand  what  ye  shall  speak,  neither  do  ye 
premeditate ;  but  whatsoever  shall  be  given  you  in  that  hour, 
that  speak  ye :  for  it  is  not  ye  that  speak,  'but  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

12  Now  *the  brother  shall  betray  the  brother  to  death,  and 
the  father  the  son;  and  children  shall  rise  up  against  their 
parents,  and  shall  cause  them  to  be  put  to  death. 

13  'And  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men  for  my  name's  sake : 
but  ""he  that  shall  endure  unto  the  end,  the  same  shall  be  saved. 

14  "But  when  ye  shall  see  the  abomination  of  desolation, 
"spoken  of  by  Dan'iel  the  prophet,  standing  where  it  ought 
not,  (let  him  that  readeth  understand,)  then''let  them  that  be 
in  Ju-de'a  flee  to  the  mountains: 

15  And  let  him  that  is  on  the  hou.setop  not  go  down  into 
the  house,  neither  enter  therein,  to  take  any  thing  out  of  his 
house : 

16  And  let  him  that  is  in  the  field  not  turn  back  again 
for  to  take  up  his  garment. 

17  'But  woe  to  them  that  are  with  child,  and  to  them  that 
give  suck  in  those  days! 

18  And  pray  ye  that  your  flight  be  not  in  the  winter, 

1 9  ""For  in  those  days  shall  be  affliction,  such  as  was  not 
from  the  beginning  of  the  creation  which  God  created  unto 
this  time,  neither  shall  be. 

20  And  except  that  the  Lord  had  shortened  those  days,  no 
flesh  should  be  saved ;  but  for  the  elect's  sake,  whom  he 
hath  chosen,  he  hath  shortened  the  days. 

21  'And  then  if  any  man  shall  say  to  you,  Lo,  here  is 
Christ ;  or  lo,  he  is  there ;  believe  him  not : 

22  For  false  Christs  and  false  prophets  shall  rise,  and  shall 
shew  signs  and  wonders,  to  seduce,  if  it  were  possible,  even 
the  elect. 

23  But 'take  ye  heed  :  behold,  I  have  foretold  you  all  things. 

24  ^"But  in  those  days,  after  that  tribulation,  the  sun  shall 
be  darkened,  and  the  moon  shall  not  give  her  light, 

25  And  the  stars  of  heaven  shall  fall,  and  the  powers  that 
are  in  heaven  shall  be  shaken. 

26  ^And  then  shall  they  see  the  Son  of  man  coming  in  the 
clouds  with  great  power  and  glory.  ■» 

27  And  then  shall  he  send  his  angels,  and  shall  gather  to- 
gether his  elect  from  the  four  winds,  from  the  uttermost  part 
of  the  earth  to  the  uttermost  part  of  heaven. 

28  "Now  learn  a  parable  of  the  fig  tree:  When  hel' branch 
is  yet  tender,  and  putteth  forth  leaves,  ye  know  that  summer 
is  near: 

29  So  ye  in  like  manner,  when  ye  shall  see  these  things 
come  to  pass,  know  that  it  is  nigh,  even  at  the  doors. 

30  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  this  generation  shall  not 
pass,  till  all  these  things  be  done. 

31  Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away :  but  'my  words 
shall  not  pass  away. 

32  ^But  of  that  day  and  that  hour  knoweth  no  man,  no,  not 
the  angels  which  are  in  heaven,  neither  the  Son,  but  the  Father. 

33  "Take  ye  heed,  watch  and  pray :  for  ye  know  not  when 
the  time  is. 

34  ''For  the  Son  of  man  is  as  a  man  taking  a  far  journey, 
who  left  his  house,  and  gave  authority  to  his  servants,  and 
to  every  man  his  work,  and  commanded  the  porter  to  watch. 

35  "Watch  ye  therefore :  for  ye  know  not  when  the  master 
of  the  house  cometh,  at  even,  or  at  midnight,  or  at  the  cock- 
crowing,  or  in  the  morning  : 

36  Lest  coming  suddenly  he  find  you  sleeping. 

37  And  what  I  say  unto  you  I  say  unto  all.  Watch. 


9  But  take  ye  heed  to  yourselves:  for  they  shall 
deliver  you  up  to  councils ;  and  in  synagogues  shall 
ye  be  beaten ;  and  before  governors  and  kings  shall 
ye  stand  for  my  sake,  for  a  testimony  unto  them. 

10  And  the  gospel  must  first  be  preached  unto  all  the 

11  nations.  And  when  they  lead  you  to  judgement,  and 
deliver  you  up,  be  not  anxious  beforehand  what  ye 
shall  speak :  but  whatsoever  shall  be  given  you  in 
that  hour,  that  speak  ye :  for  it  is  not  ye  that  speak, 

12  but  the  Holy  Ghost.  And  brother  shall  deliver  up 
brother  to  death,  and  the  father  his  child;  and 
children   shall  rise  up  against   parents,  and  'cause 

13  them  to  be  put  to  death.  And  ye  shall  be  hated  of 
all  men  for  my  name's  sake :  but  he  that  endureth 
to  the  end,  the  same  shall  be  saved. 

14  But  when  ye  see  the  abomination  of  desolation 
standing  where  he  ought  not  (let  him  that  readeth 
understand),  then  let  them  that  are  in  Ju-dse'a  flee 

15 unto   the   mountains:    and   let  him   that   is  on   the 

housetop   not  go  down,  nor  enter   in,  to  take  any 

16 thing  out  of  his  house:   and   let  him  that  is  in  the 

17  field  not  return  back  to  take  his  cloke.  But  woe 
uni.G  i,hem  that  are  with  child  and  to  them  that  give 

18  suck  in  those  days  !     And  pray  ye  that  it  be  not  in 

19  the  winter.  For  those  days  shall  be  tribulation, 
such  as  there 'hath  not  been  the  like  from  the  be- 
ginning of  the  creation  which  God  created  until  now, 

20  and  never  shall  be.  And  except  the  Lord  had 
shortened  the  days,  no  flesh  would  have  been  saved : 
but  for  the  elect's  sake,  whom  he  chose,  he  shortened 

21  the  days.  And  then  if  any  man  shall  say  unto  you, 
Lo,  here  is  the  Christ ;  or,  Lo,  there ;  believe  Ht  not : 

22  for  there  shall  arise  false  Christs  and  false  prophets, 
and  shall  shew  signs  and    wonders,  that  they  may 

23  lead  astray,  if  possible,  the  elect.     But  take  ye  heed 
behold,  I  have  tgld  you  all  things  beforehand. 

24  But  in  those  days,  after  that  tribulation,  the  sun 
shall  be  darkened,  and  the  moon  shall  not  give  her 

25  light,  and  the  stars  shall  be  falling  from  heaven,  and 
the  powers  that  are  in  the  heavens  shall  be  shaken. 

26  And  then  shall  they  see  the  Son  of  man  coming  in 

27  clouds  with  great  power  and  glory.  And  then  shall 
he  send  forth  the  angels,  and  shall  gather  together 
his  elect  from  the  four  winds,  from  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  earth  to  the  uttermost  part  of  heaven 

28  Now  from  the  fig  tree  learn  her  parable:  when  her 
branch  is  now  become  tender,  and  putteth  forth  its 

29  leaves,  ye  know  that  the  summer  is  nigh ;  even  so 
ye  also,  when  ye   see  these  things  coming  to   pass, 

30  know  ye  that  ^he  is  nigh,  even  at  the  doors.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you.  This  generation  shall  not  pass  away, 

31  until  all  these  things  be  accomplished.  Heaven  and 
earth  shall  pass  away :  but  my  words  shall  not  pass 

32  away.  But  of  that  day  or  that  hour  knoweth  no 
one,  not  even  the  angels  in  heaven,  neither  the  Son, 

33  but  the  Father.     Take   ye  heed,  watch  *and  pray : 

34  for  ye  know  not  when  the  time  is.  It  is  as  when  a 
man,  sojourning  in  another  country,  having  left  his 
house,  and  given  authority  to  his  'servants,  to  each 
one  his  work,  commanded  also  the  porter  to  watch. 

35  Watch  therefore :  for  ye  know  not  when  the  lord  of 
the  house  cometh,  whether  at  even,  or  at  midnight, 

36  or  at  cockcrowing,  or  in  the  morning;  lest  coming 

37  suddenly  he  find  you  sleeping.  And  what  I  say 
unto  yon  I  say  unto  all,  Watch.

Cofupiraey  egatHat  Christ— Judo}  bitraytih  mm— The  tost  tu^er, 

AFTER  "two  days  was  tht  Jeast  of  the  passover,  and  of 
unleavened  bread ;  and  the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes 
sought  how  they  might  take  him  by  craft,  and  put  him  to 
death. 

2  But  they  said,  Not  on  the  feast  day,  lest  there  be  an  up- 
roar of  the  people. 

3  ^''And  being  in  Beth'a-ny,  in  the  house  of  Si'mon  the 
leper,  as  he  sat  at  meat,  there  came  a  woman  having  an 
alabaster  box  of  ointment  of  |1  spikenard  very  precious; 
and  she  brake  the  box,  and  poured  it  on  his  head. 

4  And  there  were  some  that  had  indignation  within 
themselves,  and  said.  Why  was  this  waste  of  the  ointment 
made? 

5  For  it  might  have  been  sold  for  more  than  three  hun- 
dred II  pence,  and  have  been  given  to  the  poor.  And  they 
murmured  against  her. 

6  And  Jesus  said.  Let  her  alone;  why  trouble  ye  her? 
she  hath  wrought  a  good  work  on  me. 

7  For  "ye  have  the  poor  with  you  always,  and  whensoever 
ye  will  ye  may  do  them  good ;  but  me  ye  have  not  always. 

8  She  hath  done  what  she  could:  she  is  come  aforehand 
to  anoint  nay  body  to  the  burying. 

9  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Wheresoever  this  gospel  shall 
be  preached  throughout  the  whole  world,  this  also  that  she 
hath  done  shall  be  spoken  of  for  a  memorial  of  her. 

10  ^''And  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,  one  of.  the  twelve,  went  unto 
the  chief  priests,  to  betray  him  unto  them. 

11  And  when  they  heard  it,  they  were  glad,  and  promised 
to  give  him  money.  And  he  sought  how  he  might  con- 
veniently betray  him. 

12  ^'And  the  first  day  of  unleavened  bread,  when  they 
|{  killed  the  passover,  his  disciples  said  unto  him,  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  go  and  prepare  that  thou  mayest  eat  the 
passover  ? 

13  And  he  sendeth  forth  two  of  his  disciples,  and  saith 
unto  them,  Go  ye  into  the  city,  and  there  shall  meet  you  a 
man  bearing  a  pitcher  of  water :  follow  him. 

14  And  wheresoever  he  shall  go  in,  say  ye  to  the  good- 
man  of  the  house.  The  Master  saith.  Where  is  the  guest- 
chamber,  where  I  shall  eat  the  passover  with  my  disciples? 

15  And  he  will  shew  you  a  large  upper  room  furnished 
and  prepared :  there  make  ready  for  us. 

16  And  his  disciples  went  forth,  and  came  into  the  city, 
and  found  as  he  had  said  unto  them :  and  they  made  ready 
the  passover. 

17  -^And  in  the  evening  he  cometh  with  the  twelve. 

18  And  as  they  sat  and  did  eat,  Jesus  said.  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  One  of  you  which  eateth  with  me  shall  be- 
tray me. 

19  And  they  began  to  be  sorrowful,  and  to  say  unto  him 
one  by  one,  i«  it  I  ?  and  another  said,  /«  it  I  ? 

20  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them.  It  is  one  of  the 
twelve,  that  dippeth  with  me  in  the  dish. 

21  'The  Son  of  man  indeed  goeth,  as  it  is  written  of 
him :  but  woe  to  that  man  by  whom  the  Son  of  man  is 
betrayed!  good  were  it  for  that  man  if  he  had  never  been 
born. 

22  %*And  as  they  did  eat,  Jesus  took  bread,  and  blessed, 
and  brake  it,  and  gave  to  them,  and  said,  Take,  eat;  this  is 
my  body. 

23  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  when  he  had  given  thanks, 
he  gave  it  to  them :  and  they  all  drank  of  it. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them,  This  is  my  blood  of  the  new 
testament,  which  is  shed  for  many. 

25  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  drink  no  more  of  the 
fruit  of  the  vine,  until  that  day  that  I  drink  it  new  in  the 
kingdom  of  God. 


+^  Now  after  two  days  was  the  feasi  of  the  pass- 
over  and  the  unleavened  bread :  and  the  chief  priests 
and  the  scribes  sought  how  they  might  take  him 

2  with  subtilty,  and  kill  him :  for  they  said,  Not  dur- 
ing the  feast,  lest  haply  there  shall  be  a  tumult  of 
the  people. 

3  And  while  he  was  in  Beth'a-ny  in  the  house  of 
Si'mon  the  leper,  as  he  sat  at  meat,  there  came  a 
woman  having  'an  alabaster  cruse  of  ointment  of 
^spikenard  very  costly;  and  she  brake  the  cruse,  and 

4  poured  it  over  his  head.  But  there  were  some  that 
had  indignation  among  themselves,  saying.  To  what 
purpose  hath  this  waste  of  the  ointment  been  made? 

5  For  this  ointment  might  have  been  sold  for  above 
three  hundred  'pence,  and  given  to  the  poor.     And 

6  they  murmured  against  her.  But  Jesus  said,  Let 
her  alone;  why  trouble  ye  her?   she  hath  wrought 

7  a  good  work  on  me.  For  ye  have  the  poor  always 
with  you,  and  whensover  ye  will  ye  can  do   them 

8 good:  but  me  ye  have  not  always.  She  hath  done 
what  she  could :  she  hath  anointed  my  body  afore- 
9  hand  for  the  burying.  And  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Wheresoever  the  gospel  shall  be  preached  through- 
out the  whole  world,  that  also  whicn  this  woman  hath 
done  shall  be  spoken  of  for  a  memorial  of  her. 

10  And  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,*he  that  was  one  of  the  twelve, 
went  away  unto  the  chief  priests,  that  he  might  de- 
ll liver  him  unto  them.  And  they,  when  they  heard 
it,  were  glad,  and  promised  to  give  him  money.  And 
he  sought  how  he  might  conveniently  deliver  him 
unto  them. 

12  And  on  the  first  day  of  unleavened  bread,  when 
they  sacrificed  the  passover,  his  disciples  say  unto 
him.  Where  wilt  thou  that  we  go  and  make  ready 

13 that  thou  mayest  eat  the  passover?  And  he  sendeth 
two  of  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto  them.  Go  into 
the  city,  and  there  shall  meet  you  a  man  bearing  a 

14  pitcher  of  water :  follow  him  ;  and  wheresoever  he 
shall  enter  in,  say  to  the  goodman  of  the  house.  The 
•'Master  saith.  Where  is  my  guest-chamber,  where  I 

15 shall  eat  the  passover  with  my  disciples?  And  he 
will  himself  shew  you  a  large  upper  room  furnished 

16 and  ready:  and  there  make  ready  for  us.  And  the 
disciples  went  forth,  and  came  into  the  city,  and 
found  as  he  had  said  unto  them :  and  they  made 
ready  the  passover. 

17  And   when   it  was  evening  he  cometh  with  the 

18  twelve.  And  as  they  'sat  and  were  eating,  Jesus 
said,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  One  of  you  shall  betray 

19  me,  even  he  that  eateth  with  me.  They  began  to  be 
sorrowful,  and  to  say  unto  him  one  by  one.  Is  it  I? 

20  And  he  said  unto  them.  It  is  one  of  the  twelve,  he 

21  that  dippeth  with  me  in  the  dish.  For  the  Son  of 
man  goeth,  even  as  it  is  written  of  him :  but  woe 
unto  that  man  through  whom  the  Son  of  man  is 
betrayed !  good  were  it  'for  that  man  if  he  had  not 
been  born. 

22  And  as  they  were  eating,  he  took  'bread,  and  when 
he  had  blessed,  he  brake  it,  and  gave  to  them,  and 

23  said.  Take  ye :  this  is  my  body.  And  he  took  a  cup, 
and  when  he  had  given  thanks,  he   gave  to   them : 

24  and  they  all  drank  of  it.  And  he  said  unto  them. 
This  is  my  blood  of  'the  '"covenant,  which  is  shed 

25  for  many.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  no  more 
drink  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine,  until  that  day  when  I 
drink  it  new  in  the  kingdom  of  God.

26  "^'And  when  they  had  sung  a  j|hymn,  they  went  out 
into  the  mount  of  Olives. 

27  *And  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  All  ye  shall  be  offended 
because  of  me  this  night :  for  it  is  written,  'I  will  smite  the 
Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be  scattered. 

28  But  "after  that  I  am  risen,  I  will  go  before  you  into 
Gal'i-lee. 

29  "But  Pe'ter  said  unto  him.  Although  all  shall  be 
offended,  yet  will  not  I. 

30  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Verily  I  say  unto  thee.  That 
this  day,  even  in  this  night,  before  the  cock  crow  twice,  thou 
shalt  deny  me  thrice. 

31  But  he  spake  the  more  vehemently,  If  I  should  die 
with  thee,  I  will  not  deny  thee  in  any  wise.  Likewise  also 
said  they  all. 

32  "And  they  came  to  a  place  which  was  named  Geth-sem'a-ne : 
and  he  saith  to  his  disciples,  Sit  ye  here  while  I  shall  pray. 

33  And  he  taketh  with  him  Pe'ter  and  James  and  John, 
and  began  to  be  sore  amazed,  and  to  be  very  heavy; 

34  And  saith  unto  them,  ''my  soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful 
unto  death  :  tarry  ye  here,  and  watch. 

35  And  he  went  forward  a  little,  and  fell  on  the  ground, 
and  prayed  that,  if  it  were  possible,  the  hour  might  pass 
from  him. 

36  And  he  said  'Abba,  Father,  'all  things  are  possible 
unto  thee ;  take  away  this  cup  from  me :  'nevertheless,  not 
what  I  will,  but  what  thou  wilt. 

37  And  he  cometh  and  findeth  them  sleeping,  and  saith 
unto  Pe'ter,  Si'mon,  sleepest  thou?  couldest  not  thou  watch 
one  hour? 

38  Watch  ye  and  pray,  lest  ye  enter  into  temptation. 
'The  spirit  truly  is  ready,  but  the  flesh  is  weak. 

39  And  again  he  went  away,  and  prayed,  and  spake  the 
same  words. 

40  And  when  he  returned,  he  found  them  asleep  again, 
(for  their  eyes  were  heavy,)  neither  wist  they  what  to  answer 
him. 

41  And  he  cometh  the  third  time,  and  saith  unto  them, 
Sleep  on  now,  and  take  your  rest:  it  is  enough,  "tne  hour 
is  come;  behold,  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  into  the  hands 
of  sinners. 

42  ""Rise  up,  let  us  go ;  lo,  he  that  betrayeth  me  is  at  hand. 

43  ^"And  immediately,  while  he  yet  spake,  cometh  Ju'das, 
one  of  the  twelve,  and  with  him  a  great  multitude  with 
swords  and  staves,  from  the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes 
and  the  elders. 

44  And  he  that  betrayed  him  had  given  them  a  token, 
saying.  Whomsoever  I  shall  kiss,  that  same  is  he ;  take  him, 
and  lead  him  away  safely. 

45  And  as  soon  as  he  was  come,  he  goeth  straightway  to 
him,  and  saith.  Master,  Master;  and  kissed  him. 

46  ^And  they  laid  their  hands  on  him,  and  took  him. 

47  And  one  of  them  that  stood  by  drew  a  sword,  and 
smote  a  servant  of  the  high  priest,  and  cut  off  his  ear. 

48  'And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them.  Are  ye  come 
out  as  against  a  thief,  with  swords  and  with  staves  to  take  me? 

49  I  was  daily  with  you  in  the  temple  teaching,  and  ye 
took  me  not :  but  "the  scriptures  must  be  fulfilled. 

50  ""And  they  all  forsook  him,  and  fled. 

51  And  there  followed  him  a  certain  young  man  having  a 
linen  cloth  cast  about  his  naked  body;  and  the  young  men 
laid  hold  on  him. 

52  And  he  left  the  linen  cloth,  and  fled  from  them  naked. 

53  ^"And  they  led  Jesus  away  to  the  high  priest :  and 
with  him  were  assembled  all  the  chief  priests  and  the  elders 
and  the  scribes. 

54  And  Pe'ter  followed  him  afar  off,  even  into  the  palace 
of  the  high  priest :  and  he  sat  with  the  servants,  and  warmed 
himself  at  the  fire. 


26  And  when  tiiey  had  sung  a  hymn,  they  went  out 
unto  the  mount  of  Olives. 

27  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  All  ye  shall  be  'offended : 
for  it  is  written,  I  will  smite  the  shepherd,  and  the 

28  sheep  shall  be  scattered  abroad.     Howbeit,  after  I 

29  am  raised  up,  I  will  go  before  you  into  Gal'i-lee.  But 
Pe'ter  said  unto  him,  Although  all  shall  be  'offended, 

30  yet  will  not  I.  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Verily  I 
say  unto  thee,  that  thou  to-day,  even  this  night,  be- 

31  fore  the  cock  crow  twice,  shalt  deny  me  thrice.  But 
he  spake  exceeding  vehemently.  If  I  must  die  with 
thee,  I  will  not  deny  thee.  And  in  like  manner  also 
said  they  all. 

32  And  they  come  unto  'a  place  which  wias  named 
Geth-sem'a-ne :  and  he  saith  unto  his  disciples.  Sit  ye 

33  here,  while  I  pray.  And  he  taketh  with  him  Pe'ter 
and  James  and  John,  and  began  to  be  greatly  amazed, 

34  and  sore  troubled.  And  he  saith  unto  them.  My 
soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful  even  unto  death :  abide 

35  ye  here,  and  watch.  And  he  went  forward  a  little, 
and  fell  on  the  ground,  and  prayed  that,  if  it  were 

36  pos.sible,  the  hour  might  pass  away  from  him.  And 
he  said,  Abba,  Father,  all  things  are  possible  unto 
thee ;  remove  this  cup  from  me :  howbeit  not  what 

37 1  will,  but  what  thou  wilt.  And  he  cometh,  and 
findeth  them  sleeping,  and  saith  unto  Pe'ter,  Si'mon, 
sleepest  thou?  couldest  thou  not  watch  one  hour? 

38 'Watch  and  pray,  that  ye  enter  not  into  temptation: 
the  spirit  indeed  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak. 

39  And  again   he  went  away,  and  prayed,  saying  the 

40  same  words.  And  again  he  came,  and  found  them 
sleeping,  for  their  eyes  were  very  heavy;  and  they 

41  wist  not  what  to  answer  him.  And  he  cometh  the 
third  time,  and  saith  unto  them.  Sleep  on  now,  and 
take  your  rest :  it  is  enough ;  the  hour  is  come ;  be- 
hold, the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  into  the  hands  of 

42 sinners.  Arise,  let  us  be  going:  behold,  he  that  be 
trayeth  me  is  at  hand. 

43  And  straightway,  while  he  yet  spake,  cometh  Ju'- 
das, one  of  the  twelve,  and  with  him  a  multitude  with 
swords  and  staves,  from   the  chief  priests  and  the 

44  scribes  and  the  elders.  Now  he  that  betrayed  him 
had  given  them  a  token,  saying.  Whomsoever  I  shall 
kiss,  that  is  he;  take  him,  and  lead  him  away  safely. 

45  And  when   he  was  come,  straightway  he  came  to 

46  him,  and  saith.  Rabbi ;  and  *kissed  him.     And  they 

47  laid  hands  on  him,  and  took  him.  But  a  certain  one 
of  them  that  stood  by  drew  his  sword,  and  smote 
the  'servant  of  the  high  priest,  and  struck  off  his  ear, 

48  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Are  ye 
come  out  as  against  a  robber,  with  swords  and  staves 

49 to  seize  me?  I  was  daily  Avith  you  in  the  temple 
teaching,  and  ye  took  me  not:  but  this  is  done  that 

50  the  scriptures  might  be  fulfilled.  And  they  all  left 
him,  and  fled. 

51  And  a  certain  young  man  followed  with  him, 
having  a  linen  cloth  cast  about  him,  over  his  naked 

52 body:  and  they  lay  hold  on  him;  but  he  left  the 
linen  cloth,  and  fled  naked. 

53  And  they  led  Jesus  away  to  the  high  priest:  and 
there  come  together  Avith  him  all  the  chief  priests 

54  and  the  elders  and  the  scribes.  And  Pe'ter  had 
followed  him  afar  off,  even  within,  into  the  court 
of  the  high  priest ;  and  he  was  sitting  with  the  offi- 
cers, and  warming  himself  in  the  light  of  the  fire.

55  ""And  the  chief  priests  and  all  the  council  sought  for 
witness  against  Jesus  to  put  him  to  death ;  and  found  none. 

56  For  many  bare  false  witness  against  him,  but  their 
witness  agreed  not  together. 

57  And  there  arose  certain,  and  bare  false  witness  against 
him,  saying, 

58  We  heard  him  say,  'I  will  destroy  this  temple  that  is 
made  with  hands,  and  within  three  days  I  will  build  another 
made  without  hands. 

59  But  neither  so  did  their  witness  agree  together. 

60  -^And  the  high  priest  stood  up  in  the  midst,  and  asked 
Jesus,  saying,  Answerest  thou  nothing?  what  is  it  which 
these  witness  against  thee? 

61  But  "he  held  bis  peace,  and  answered  nothing.  *Again 
the  high  priest  asked  him,  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of  the  Blessed  ? 

62  And  Jesus  said,  I  am:  'and  ye  shall  see  the  Son  of 
man  sitting  on  the  right  hand  of  power,  and  coming  in  the 
clouds  of  heaven. 

63  Then  the  high  priest  rent  his  clothes,  and  saith,  AVhat 
need  we  any  further  witnesses? 

64  Ye  have  heard  the  bla.spbemy:  what  think  ye?  And 
they  all  condemned  him  to  be  guilty  of  death. 

65  And  some  began  to  spit  on  him,  and  to  cover  his 
face,  and  to  buffet  him,  and  to  say  unto  him.  Prophesy :  and 
the  servants  did  strike  him  with  the  palms  of  their  hands. 

66  ^'And  as  Pe'ter  was  beneath  in  the  palace,  there  cometh 
one  of  the  maids  of  the  high  priest : 

67  And  when  she  saw  Pe'ter  warming  himself,  she  looked 
upon  him,  and  said.  And  thou  also  wast  with  Jesus  of 
Isaz'a-reth. 

68  But  he  denied,  saying,  I  know  not,  neither  understand 

I  what  thou  sayest.     And  he  went  out  into  the  porch ;  and 
the  cock  crew. 

69  'And  a  maid  saw  him  again,  and  began  to  say  to  them 
that  stood  by.  This  is  one  of  them. 

70  And  he  denied  it  again.  "And  a  little  after,  they  that 
stood  by  said  again  to  Pe'ter,  Surely  thou  art  one  of  them : 
"for  thou  art  a  Gal-i-le'an,  and  thy  speech  agreeth  thereto. 

71  But  he  began  to  curse  and  to  swear,  saying,  I  know  not 
this  man  of  whom  ye  speak. 

72  "And  the  second  time  the  cock  crew.  And  Pe'ter 
called  to  mind  the  word  that  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Before 
the    cock    crow    twice,    thou    shalt   deny  me  thrice.     And 

II  when  he  thought  thereon,  he  wept. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

Christ  brought  be/ore  Pilate. 

AJf  D  "straightway  in  the  morning  the  chief  priests  held  a 
consultation  with  the  elders  and  scribes  and  the  whole 
council,  and  bound  Jesus,  and  carried  him  away,  and  de- 
livered him  to  Pi'late. 

2  'And  Pi'late  asked  him.  Art  thou  the  King  of  the  Jews? 
And  he  answering  said  unto  him.  Thou  sayest  it. 

3  And  the  chief  priests  accused  him  of  many  things;  but 
he  answered  nothing. 

4  ''And  Pi'late  asked  him  again,  saying,  Answerest  thou 
nothing?  behold  how  many  things  they  witness  against  thee. 

5  ''But  Je.^us  yet  answered  nothing;  .sothatPi'lateraarvelled. 

6  Now  'at  that  fea.st  he  released  unto  them  one  prisoner, 
whomsoever  they  desired. 

7  And  there  was  one  named  Ba-rab'bas,  which  lay  bound 
with  them  that  had  made  insurrection  with  him,  who  had 
committed  murder  in  the  insurrection. 

8  And  the  multitude  crying  aloud  began  to  desire  him  to 
do  as  he  had  ever  done  unto  them. 

9  But  Pi'late  answered  them,  saying.  Will  ye  that  I  release 
unto  you  the  King  of  the  Jews? 

10  For  he  knew  that  the  chief  priests  had  delivered  him 
for  envy. 


55  Now  the  chief  priests  and  the  whole  council  sought 
witness  against  Jesus  to   put   him    to    death ;    and 

56  found  it  not.     For  many  bare  false  witness  against 

57  him,  and  their  witness  agreed  not  together.  And 
there  stood  up  certain,  and  bare  false  witness  against 

58  him,  saying,  We  heard  him  say,  I  will  destroy  this 
'temple  that  is  made  with  hands,  and  in  three  days  I 

59  will  build  another  made  without  hands.     And  not 

60  even  so  did  their  witness  agree  together.  And  the 
high  priest  stood  up  in  the  midst,  and  asked  Jesus, 
saying,  Answerest  thou  nothing?  what  is  it  which 

61  these  witness  against  thee  ?  But  he  held  his  peace, 
and  answered  nothing.  Again  the  high  prjest  asked 
him,  and  saith  unto  him.  Art  thou  the  Christ,  the 

62 Son  of  the  Blessed?  And  Jesus  said,  ,T  am:  and 
ye  shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting  at  the  right  hand 
of  power,  and  coming  with  the  clouds  of  heaven 
63  And  the  high  priest  rent  his  clothes,  and  saith, 
64 What  further  need  have  we  of  witnesses?  Ye 
have  heard  the  blasphemy :  what  think  ye?  And 
they  all  condemned   him  to  be  ^vorthy    of  death. 

65  And  some  began  to  spit  on  him,  and  to  cover  his 
face,  and  to  buffet  him,  and  to  say  unto  him, 
Prophesy :  and  the  officers  received  him  with 
'blows  of  their  hands. 

66  And  as  Pe'ter  was  beneath  in   the   court,   there 

67  cometh  one  of  the  maids  of  the  high  priest;  and 
seeing  Pe'ter  warming  himself,  she  looked  upon  him, 
and  saith.  Thou  also  wast  with  the  Naz'a-rene,  even 

68  Jesus.  But  he  denied,  saying,  ^I  neither  know,  nor 
understand  what  thou  sayest :  and  he  went  out  into 

69  the  'porch ;  ^and  the  cock  crew.  And  the  maid  saw 
him,  and  began  again  to  say  to  them  that  stood  by, 

70  This  is  one  of  them.  But  he  again  denied  it.  And 
after  a  little  while  again  they  that  stood  by  said  to 
Pe'ter,  Of  a  truth  thou  art  one  of  them ;  for  thou  art 

71  a  Gal-i-lse'an.     But  he  began  to  curse,  and  to  swear,  I 

72  know  not  this  man  of  whom  ye  speak.  And  straight- 
way the  second  time  the  cock  crew.  And  Pe'ter 
called  to  mind  the  word,  how  that  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  Before  the  cock  crow  twice,  thou  shalt  deny 
me  thrice.  'And  when  he  thought  thereon,  he 
wept. 

*-0  And  straightway  in  the  morning  the  chief  priests 
with  the  elders  and  scribes,  and  the  whole  council, 
held  a  consultation,   and  bound  Jesus,  and  carried 

2  him  away,  and  delivered  him  up  to  Pi'late.  And 
Pi'late  asked  him.  Art  thou  the  King  of  the  Jews? 
And  he    answering  saith    unto    him.    Thou    sayest. 

3  And  the  chief  priests  accused  him  of  many  things. 

4  And  Pi'late  again  asked  him,  saying,  Answerest  thou 
nothing?  behold  how  many  things  they  accuse  thee 

5 of.  But  Jesus  no  more  answered  anything;  inso- 
much that  Pi'late  marvelled. 

6  Now  at  'the  feast  he  used  to  release  unto  them 

7  one  prisoner,  whom  they  asked  of  him.  And  there 
was  one  called  Ba-rab'bas,  lying  bound  with  them 
that  had  made  insurrection,   men    who   in   the  in- 

Ssurrection  had  committed  murder.  And  the  mul- 
titude  went    up   and    began    to    ask    him    to   do  as 

9  he  was  wont  to  do  unto  them.  And  Pi'late  an- 
swered them,  saying,  Will  ye  that  I  release  unto 
10 you  the  King  of  the  Jews?  For  he  perceived  that 
for  envy  the  chief  priests  had  delivered  him  up.

11  But-*^the  chief  priests  moved  the  people,  that  he  should 
rather  release  Ba-rab'bas  unto  ttiem. 

12  And  Pi'late  answered  and  said  again  unto  them,  What 
will  ye  then  that  I  shall  do  unto  him  whom  ye  call  the  King 
of  the  Jews  ? 

13  And  they  cried  out  again,  Crucify  him. 

14  Then  Pi'late  said  unto  them,  Why,  what  evil hathhe  done? 
And  they  cried  out  the  more  exceedingly.  Crucify  him. 

15  ^"And  so  Pi'late,  willing  to  content  the  people,  released 
Ba-rab'bas  unto  them,  and  delivered  Jesus,  when  he  had 
scourged  him,  to  be  crucified. 

16  'And  the  soldiers  led  him  away  into  the  hall,  called 
Pre-to'ri-um ;  and  they  call  together  the  whole  band. 

17  And  they  clothed  him  with  purple,  and  platted  a  crown 
of  thorns,  and  put  it  about  his  head, 

18  And  began  to  salute  him.  Hail,  King  of  the  Jews! 

19  And  they  smote  him  on  the  head  with  a  reed,  and  did 
spit  upon  him,  and  bowing  their  kuees  worshipped  him. 

20  And  when  they  had  mocked  him,  they  took  off  the  pur- 
ple from  him,  and  put  his  own  clothes  on  him,  and  led  him 
out  to  crucify  him. 

21  'And  they  compel  one  Si'mon  a  Cy-re'ni-an,  who  passed 
by,  coming  out  of  the  country,  the  father  of  Al-ex-an'der 
and  Ru'fus,  to  bear  his  cross. 

22  *And  they  bring  him  unto  the  place  Gol'go-tha,  which 
is  being  interpreted.  The  place  of  a  skull. 

23  'And  they  gave  him  to  drink  wine  mingled  with 
myrrh  :  but  he  received  it  not. 

24  And  when  they  had  crucified  him,  ""they  parted  his  gar- 
ments, casting  lots  upon  them,  what  every  man  should  take. 

25  And  "it  was  the  third  hour,  and  they  crucified  him. 

26  And  "the  superscription  of  his  accusation  was  written 
over,  THE  KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

27  And  Pwith  him  they  crucify  two  thieves;  the  one  on 
his  right  hand,  and  the  other  on  his  left. 

28  And  the  Scripture  was  fulfilled,  which  saith,  'And  he 
was  numbered  with  the  transgressors. 

29  And  'they  that  passed  by  railed  on  him,  wagging  their 
heads,  and  saying.  Ah,  'thou  that  destroyest  the  temple, 
and  buildest  it  in  three  days, 

30  Save  thyself,  and  come  down  from  the  cross. 

31  Likewise  also  the  chief  priests  mocking  said  among 
themselves  with  the  scribes.  He  saved  others;  himself  he 
cannot  save. 

32  Let  Christ  the  King  of  Is'ra-el  descend  now  from  the 
cross,  that  we  may  see  and  believe.  And  'they  that  were 
crucified  with  him  reviled  him. 

33  And  "when  the  sixth  hour  was  come,  there  M'as  dark- 
ness over  the  whole  land  until  the  ninth  hour. 

34  And  at  the  ninth  hour  Jesus  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
.saying, ''E-lo'i,  E-lo'i,  la'ma  .sa-bach'tha-ni  ?  which  is,  being 
interpreted,  My  God,  My  God,  Why  ha,st  thou  for-saken  me? 

35  And  some  of  them  that  stood  by,  when  they  heard  it, 
said.  Behold,  he  calleth  E-li'as. 

36  And  "one  ran  and  filled  a  sponge  full  of  vinegar,  and 

f)ut  it  on  a  reed,  and  "gave  him  to  drink,  saying.  Let  alone; 
et  us  see  whether  E-li'as  will  come  to  take  him  down. 

37  "And  Jesus  cried  withaloud  voice, and  gave  up  theghost. 

38  And  Hhe  veil  of  the  temple  was  rent  in  twain  from 
the  top  to  the  bottom. 

39  ^f  And  "when  the  centurion,  which  stood  over  against 
him,  saw  that  he  so  cried  out,  and  gave  up  the  ghost,  he 
said.  Truly  this  man  was  the  Son  of  God. 

40  ''There  were  also  women  looking  on  'afar  off:  among 
whom  was  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne,  and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of 
James  the  less  and  of  Jo'ses,  and  Sa-lo'me ; 

41  Who  also,  when  he  was  in  Gal'i-lee,  -^followed  him,  and 
ministered  unto  him ;  and  many  other  women  which  came 
up  with  him  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem. 


11  But  the  chief  priests  stirred  up  the  multitude,  that 

12  he  should  rather  release  Ba-rab'bas  unto  them.  And 
Pi'late  again  answered  and  said  unto  them.  What 
then   shall  I  do   unto   him  whom  ye  call  the  King 

13 of  the  Jews?    And  they  cried  out  again.  Crucify 

14  him.  And  Pi'late  said  unto  them.  Why,  what  evil 
hath   he   done?     But  they    cried    out    exceedingly, 

15  Crucify  him.  And  Pi'late,  wishing  to  content  the 
multitude,  released  unto  them  Ba-rab'bas,  an.l  de- 
livered Jesus,  when  he  had  scourged  him,  to  be 
crucified. 

16  And  the  soldiers  led  him  away  within  the  court, 
which  is  the  'Prse-to'ri-um ;  and  they  call  together  the 

17  whole  ^band.  And  they  clothe  him  Avith  purple, 
and  plaiting  a  crown  of  thorns,  they  put  it  on  him ; 

18  and  they   began   to  salute   him,   Hail,  King  of  the 

19  Jews!  And  they  smote  his  head  with  a  reed,  and 
did  spit  upon  him,   and  bowing   their  knees   wor- 

20  shipped  him.  And  when  they  had  mocked  him, 
they  took  off  from  him  the  purple,  and  put  on 
him  his  garments.  And  they  lead  him  out  to 
crucify  him. 

21  And  they  'compel  one  passing  by,  Si'mon  of  Cy- 
re'ne,  coming  from  the  country,  the  father  of  Al-ex- 
an'der  and  Ru'fus,  to  go  with  them,  that  he  might 

22  bear  his  cross.  And  they  bring  him  unto  the 
place   Gol'go-tha,  which  is,  being  interpreted.  The 

23  place  of  a  skull.  And  they  offered  him  wine 
mingled    with    myrrh :    but    he    received    it    not. 

24  And  they  crucify  him,  and  part  his  garments 
among   them,  casting    lots   upon    them,   what  each 

25  should    take.      And    it    was    the   third    hour,   and 

26  they  crucified  him.  And  the  superscription  of 
his  accusation    was    written    over,  the    king    of 

27  THE  JEWS.  And  with  him  they  crucify  two  rob- 
bers; one  on  his   right  hand,  and  one  on  his  left.* 

29  And  they  that  passed   by   railed    on  him,  wagging 

their  heads,  and  saying.  Ha !  thou    that  destroyest 

30 the   '^temple,    and   buildest  it   in   three    days,    save 

31  thyself,  and  come  down  from  the  cross.  In  like 
manner  also  the  chief  priests  mocking  him  among 
themselves  with  the  scribes  said,  He  saved  others; 

32  ^himself  he  cannot  save.  Let  the  Christ,  the  King 
of  Is'ra-el,  now  come  down  from  the  cross,  that  we 
may  see  and  believe.  And  they  that  were  crucified 
with  him  reproached  him. 

33  And  when  the  sixth  hour  was  come,  there  was 
darkness  over  the  whole  ^land  until  the  ninth  hour. 

34  And  at  the  ninth  hour  Jesus  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
E-lo'i,  E-lo'i,  la'ma  sa-bach'tha-ni  ?  which  is,  being 
interpreted.  My  God,  My  God,  *why  hast  thou  for- 

35  saken  me  ?     And  some  of  them  that  stood  by,  when 

36  they  heard  it,  said,  Behold,  he  calleth  E-li'jah.  And 
one  ran,  and  filling  a  sponge  full  of  vinegar,  put  it 
on  a  reed,  and  gave  him  to  drink,  saying.  Let  be ; 
let  us  see  whether  E-li'jah  cometh  to  take  him  down. 

37  And  Jesus    uttered  a  loud   voice,  and   gave  up  the 

38  ghost.     And   the  veil   of  the   'temple  was   rent   in 

39  twain  from  the  top  to  the  bottom.  And  when  the 
centurion,  which  stood  by  over  against  him,  saw 
that  he  'so   gave  up  the  ghost,  he  said,  Truly  this 

40  man  was  '"the  Son  of  God.  And  there  were  also 
women  beholding  from  afar:  among  whom  were 
both  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne,  and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of 

41  James  the  "less  and  of  Jo'ses,  and  Sa-lo'me;  who, 
when  he  was  in  Gal'i-lee,  followed  him,  and  minis- 
tered unto  him;  and  many  other  women  which 
came  up  with  him  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem.

42  ^»And  now  when  the  even  was  come,  because  it  was 
the  preparation,  that  is,  the  day  before  the  sabbath, 

43  Jo  seph  of  Ar-i-ma-the'a,  an  honourable  counsellor, which 
also  'waited  for  the  kingdom  of  God,  came,  and  went  in 
boldly  unto  Pi'late,  and  craved  the  body  of  Jesus. 

44  And  Pi'late  marvelled  if  he  were  already  dead :  and 
calling  unto  him  the  centurion,  he  asked  him  whether  he  had 
been  any  while  dead. 

45  And  when  he  knew  it  of  the  centurion,  he  gave  the 
body  to  Jo'seph. 

46  'And  he  bought  fine  linen,  and  took  him  down,  and 
wrapped  him  in  the  linen,  and  laid  him  in  a  sepulchre 
which  was  hewn  out  of  a  rock,  and  rolled  a  stone  unto  the 
door  of  the  sepulchre. 

47  And  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne  and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of  Jo'ses 
beheld  where  he  was  laid. 

CHAPTKR   XVI. 

An  angel  declareth  the  resurrection  of  Christ  to  three  women. 

AND  "when  the  sabbath  was  past,  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne,  and 
Ma'ry  the  mother  of  James,  and  Sa-lo'me,  ""had  bought 
sweet  spices,  that  they  might  come  and  anoint  him. 

2  "And  very  early  in  the  morning,  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
they  came  unto  the  sepulchre  at  the  rising  of  the  sun. 

3  And  they  said  among  themselves.  Who  shall  roll  us 
away  the  stone  from  the  door  of  the  sepulchre? 

4  And  when  they  looked,  they  saw  that  the  stone  was 
rolled  away:  for  it  was  very  great. 

5  ''And  entering  into  the  sepulchre,  they  saw  a  young  man 
sitting  on  the  right  side,  clothed  in  a  long  white  garment; 
and  they  were  affrighted. 

6  'And  he  saith  unto  them.  Be  not  affrighted :  ye  seek 
Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  which  was  crucified :  he  is  risen ;  he  is 
not  here :  behold  the  place  where  they  laid  him. 

7  But  go  your  way,  tell  his  disciples  and  Pe'ter,  that  he 
goeth  before  you  into  Gal'i-lee:  there  shall  ye  see  him,  •'as 
he  said  unto  you. 

8  And  they  went  out  quickly,  and  fled  from  the  sepulchre ; 
for  they  trembled,  and  were  amazed :  "neither  said  they  any 
thing  to  any  man;  for  they  were  afraid. 

9  ^Xow  when  Jesus  was  risen  early,  the  first  day  of  the 
week,  *he  appeared  first  to  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne,  *out  of  whom 
he  had  cast  seven  devils. 

10  ''And  she  went  and  told  them  that  had  been  with  him, 
as  they  mourned  and  wept. 

11  'And  they,  when  they  had  heard  that  he  was  alive, 
and  had  been  seen  of  her,  believed  not. 

12  ^  After  that  he  appeared  in  another  form  "unto  two  of 
them,  as  they  walked,  and  went  into  the  country. 

13  And  they  went  and  told  it  unto  the  residue:  neither 
believed  they  them. 

14  ^"Afterward  he  appeared  unto  the  eleven  as  they  sat 
II  at  meat,  and  upbraided  them  with  their  unbelief  and  hard- 
ness of  heart,  because  they  believed  not  them  which  had 
seen  him  after  he  was  risen. 

15  "And  he  said  unto  them,  Go  ye  into  all  the  world,  "and 
preach  the  gospel  to  every  creature. 

16  «He  that  belie veth  and  is  baptized  shall  be  saved;  ""but 
he  that  believeth  not  shall  be  damned. 

17  And  these  signs  shall  follow  them  that  believe:  'In 
my  name  shall  they  cast  out  devils;  'they  shall  speak  with 
new  tongues; 

18  "They  shall  take  up  serpents;  and  if  tliey  drink  any 
deadly  thing,  it  shall  not  hurt  them ;  'they  shall  lay  hands 
on  the  sick,  and  they  shall  recover. 

19  ^So  then,  "after  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto  them,  he  was 
'received  up  into  heaven,  and  "s&i  on  the  right  hand  of  God. 

20  And  niey  went  forth,  and  preached  every  where,  the 
Lord  working  with  them,  'and  confirming  the  word  with 
signs  following.     Amen. 


42  And  when  even  was  now  come,  because  it  was 
the  Preparation,  that  is,  the  day  before  the  sabbath, 

43  there  came  Jo'seph  of  Ar-i-ma-thse'a,  a  councillor  of 
honourable  estate,  who  also  himself  was  looking  for 
the  kingdom  of  God ;  and  he  boldly  went  in  unto 

44  Pi'late,  and  askW  for  the  body  of  Jesus.  And  Pi'late 
marvelled  if  he  were  already  dead:  and  calling  unto 
him  the  centurion,  he  asked  him   whether  he   'had 

45  been  any  while  dead.  And  when  he  learned  it  of 
the   centurion,   he    granted    the   corpse  to   Jo'seph. 

46  And  he  bought  a  linen  cloth,  and  taking  him  down, 
wound  him  in  the  linen  cloth,  and  laid  him  in  a  tomb 
which  had  been  hewn  out  of  a  rock ;  and  he  rolled 

47  a  stone  against  the  door  of  the  tomb.  And  Ma'ry 
Mag-da-le'ne  and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of  Jo'ses  beheld 
where  he  was  laid. 

J-U  And  when  the  sabbath  was  past,Ma'ry  ^lag-da-le'ne 
and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of  James,  and  Sa-lo'me,  bought 

2  spices,  that  they  might  come  and  anoint  him.  And 
very  early  on  the  first  day  of  the  week,  they  come 

3  to  the  tomb  when  the  sun  was  risen.  And  they 
were  saying  among  themseU-es,  Who  shall  roll  us 

4 away  the  stone  from  the  door  of  the  tomb?  and 
looking  up,  they  see  that  the  stone  is  rolled  back : 

5  for  it  was  exceeding  great.  And  entering  into  the 
tomb,  they  saw  a  young  man  sitting  on  the  right 
side,  arrayed  in  a  white  robe  ;  and  they  were  amazed. 

6  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Be  not  amazed :  ye  seek 
Jesus,  the  Naz'a-rene,  which  hath  been  crucified :  he 
is  risen ;    he   is  not  here :    behold,  the  place  where 

7  they  laid  him  !  But  go,  tell  his  disciples  and  Pe'ter, 
He  goeth  before  you  into  Gal'i-lee :    there  shall  ye 

8  see  him,  as  he  said  unto  you.  And  they  went  out, 
and  fled  from  the  tomb ;  for  trembling  and  astonish- 
ment had  come  upon  them :  and  they  said  nothing 
to  any  one;  for  they  were  afraid. 

9  ^Now  when  he  was  risen  early  on  the  first  day  of 
the  week,  he  appeared  first  to  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne, 

10  from  whom  he  had  cast  out  seven  'devils.  She 
went  and  told  them  that  had  been  with  him,  as  they 

11  mourned  and  wept.  And  they,  when  they  heard 
that  he  was  alive,  and  had  been  seen  of  her,  dis- 
believed. 

12  And  after  these  things  he  was  manifested  in  an- 
other form  unto  two  of  them,  as  they  walked,  on  their 

13  way  into  the  country.  And  they  went  away  and 
told  it  unto  the  rest :  neither  believed  they  them. 

14  And  afterward  he  was  manifested  unto  the  eleven 
themselves  as  they  sat  at  meat;  and  he  upbraided 
them  with  their  unbelief  and  hardness  of  heart,  be- 
cause they  believed  not  them  which   had  seen  him 

15  after  he  was  ri.sen.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Go  ye 
into  all  the  world   and   preach   the   gospel    to    the 

16  whole  creation.  He  that  believeth  and  is  baptized 
shall  be  saved;  but  he  that   disbelieveth  shall  be 

17  condemned.  And  these  signs  shall  follow  them 
that  believe:  in  my  name  shall  they  cast  out  'devils; 

18 they  shall  speak  with  ^new  tongues;  they  shall  take 
up  serpents,  and  if  they  drink  any  deadly  thing,  it 
shall  in  no  wise  hurt  them ;  they  shall  lay  hands  on 
the  sick,  and  they  shall  recover. 

19  So  then  the  Lord  Jesus,  after  he  had  spoken  unto 
them,  was  received  up  into  heaven,  and  sat  down  at 

20  the  right  hand  of  God.  And  they  went  forth,  and 
preached  everywhere,  the  Lord  working  with  them, 
and  confirming  the  word  by  the  signs  that  followed. 

I       Amen.

CHAPTER    I. 

Conception  of  John  Baptist,  and  of  Christ— Prophecy  of  Zacharias. 

FORASMUCH  as  many  have  taken  in  hand  to  set  forth 
in  order  a  declaration  of  those  things  which  are  most 
surely  believed  among  us, 

2  "Even  as  they  delivered  them  uuto  us,  which  ''from  the  be- 
ginning were  eyewitnesses,  and  ministers  of  the  word; 

3  ''It  seemed  good  to  me  also,  having  had  perfect  under- 
standing of  all  things  from  the  very  first,  to  write  unto  thee 
''in  order,  'most  excellent  The-oph'i-lus, 

4  -^That  thou  mightest  know  the  certainty  of  those  things 
whereir  thou  hast  been  instructed. 

5  ^There  was'in  the  days  of  Her'od,  the  king  of  Ju-de'a,  acer- 
tain  priest  named  Zach-a- ri'as,  *of  the  course  of  A-bi'a:  and  his 
wife  wasof  the  daughters  of  Aa'ron,andher  name  was E-lis'a-beth. 

6  And  they  were  both  'righteous  before  God,  walking  in  all 
the  commandments  and  ordinances  of  the  Lord  blameless. 

7  And  they  had  no  child,  because  that  E-lis'a-beth  was 
barren ;  and  they  both  were  now  well  stricken  in  years. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while  he  executed  the  priest's 
office  before  God  ''in  the  order  of  his  course, 

9  According  to  the  custom  of  the  priest's  office,  his  lot  was 
'to  burn  incense  when  he  went  into  the  temple  of  the  Lord. 

10  "And  the  whole  multitude  of  the  people  were  praying 
without  at  the  time  of  incense. 

11  And  there  appeared  unto  him  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
standing  on  the  right  side  of  "the  altar  of  incense. 

12  And  when  Zach-a-ri'as  saw  him,  "he  was  troubled,  and 
fear  fell  upon  him. 

13  But  the  angel  said  unto  him,  Fear  not,  Zach-a-ri'as :  for 
thy  prayer  is  heard;  and  thy  wife  E-lis'a-beth  shall  bear 
thee  a  son,  and  "thou  shalt  call  his  name  John. 

14  And  thou  shalt  have  joy  and  gladness ;  and  'many  shall 
rejoice  at  his  birth. 

15  For  he  shall  be  great  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  'shall 
drink  neither  wine  nor  strong  drink;  and  he  shall  be  filled 
with  the  Holy  Ghost,  'even  from  his  mother's  womb. 

16  And  many  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  shall  he  turn  to 
the  Lord  their  God. 

17  "And  he  shall  go  before  him  in  the  spirit  and  power  of 
E-li'as,  to  turn  the  hearts  of  the  fathers  to  the  children,  and 
the  disobedient  ||to  the  wisdom  of  the  just;  to  make  ready 
a  people  prepared  for  the  Lord. 

1 8  And  Zach-a-ri'as  said  unto  theangel,''Whereby  shall  I  know 
this  ?  for  I  am  an  old  man,  and  my  wife  well  stricken  in  years. 

19  And  the  angel  answering  said  unto  him,  I  am  'Ga'bri-el, 
that  stand  in  the  presence  of  God ;  and  am  sent  to  speak 
unto  thee,  and  to  shew  thee  these  glad  tidings. 

20  And,  behold, "thou  shalt  be  dumb,  and  not  able  to  speak, 
until  the  day  that  these  things  shall  be  performed,  because  thou 
believest  not  my  words, which  shall  be  fulfilled  in  their  season. 

21  And  the  people  waited  for  Zach-a-ri'as,  and  marvelled  that 
he  tarried  so  long  in  the  temple. 

22  And  when  he  came  out,  he  could  not  speak  unto  them : 
and  they  perceived  that  he  had  seen  a  vision  in  the  temple; 
for  he  beckoned  unto  them,  and  remained  speechless. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  that,  as  soon  as  ''the  days  of  his  min- 
istration were  accomplished,  he  departed  to  his  own  house. 

24  And  after  those  days  his  wife  E-lis'a-beth  conceived, 
and  hid  herself  five  months,  saying, 

25  Thus  hath  the  Lord  dealt  with  me  in  the  days  wherein 
he  looked  on  me,  to  ''take  away  my  reproach  among  men. 


THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 

S.  LUKE. 


J-  Forasmuch  as  many  have  taken  in  hand  to  draw 
up  a  narrative  concerning  those  matters  which  have 

2 been  'fulfilled  among  us,  even  as  they  delivered  them 
unto  us,  which  from  the  beginning  were  eyewitnesses 

3  and  ministers  of  the  word,  it  seemed  good  to  me  also, 
having  traced  the  course  of  all  things  accurately  from 
the  first,  to  write  unto  thee  in  order,  most  excellent 

4  The-oph'i-lus;  that  thou  mightest  know  the  certainty 
concerning  the  Hhings  'wherein  thou  wast  instructed. 

5  There  was  in  the  days  of  Her'od,  king  of  Ju-dse'a,  a 
certain  priest  named  Zach-a-ri'as,  «f  the  course  of  A-bi' 
jah :  and  he  had  a  wife  of  the  daughters  of  Aa'ron, 

6  and  her  name  was  E-lis'a-beth.  And  they  were  both 
righteous  before  God,  walking  in  all  the  command- 

7  meuts  and  ordinances  of  the  Lord  blameless.  And 
they  had  no  child,  because  that  E-lis'a-beth  was  barren, 
and  they  both  were  now  *well  stricken  in  years. 

8  Now  it  came  to  pass,  while  he  executed  the 
priest's  office  before  God  in  the  order  of  his  course, 

9  according  to  the  custom  of  the  priest's  office,  his  lot 
was  to  enter  into  the  'temple  of  the  Lord  and  burn 

10  incense.     And  the   whole   multitude  of  the  people 

11  were  praying  without  at  the  hour  of  incense.  And 
there  appeared  unto  him  an  angel  of  the  Lord  stand- 

12ing  on  the  right  side  of  the  altar  of  incense.  And 
Zach-a-ri'as  was  troubled  when  he  saw  him,  and  fear 

13  fell  upon  him.  But  the  angel  said  unto  him.  Fear 
not,  Zach-a-ri'as :  because  thy  supplication  is  heard, 
and  thy  wife  E-lis'a-beth  shall  bear  thee  a  son,  and 

14  thou  shalt  call  his  name  John.  And  thou  shalt 
have  joy  and  gladness;    and   many  shall  rejoice  at 

15  his  birth.  For  he  shall  be  great  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  and  he  shall  drink  no  wine  nor  'strong  drink ; 
and  he  shall  be  filled  with  the  'Holy  Ghost,  even 

16  from  his  mother's  womb.  And  many  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el  shall  he  turn  unto  the  Lord  their  God. 

1 7  And  he  shall  'go  before  his  face  in  the  spirit  and 
power  of  E-li'jah,  to  turn  the  hearts  of  the  iathers  to 
the  children,  and  the  disobedient  to  walk  in  the  wis- 
dom of  the  just;  to  make  ready  for  the  Lord  a  people 

18  prepared/or  him.  And  Zach-a-ri'as  said  unto  theangel. 
Whereby  shall  I  know  this?  for  I  am  an  old  man, 

19  and  my  wife  'well  stricken  in  years.  •  And  the  angel 
answering  said  unto  him,  I  am  Ga'bri-el,  that  stand 
in  the  presence  of  God ;  and  I  was  sent  to  speak  un- 

20  to  thee,  and  to  bring  thee  these  good  tidings.  And 
behold,  thou  shalt  be  silent  and  not  able  to  speak, 
until  the  day  that  these  things  shall  come  to  pass, 
because  thou  believedst   not  my  words,  which  shall 

21  be  fulfilled  in  their  season.  And  the  people  were 
waiting  for  Zach-a-ri'as,  and  they  marvelled  '"while  he 

22  tarried  in  the  Hemple.  And  when  he  came  out,  he 
could  not  speak  unto  them :  and  they  perceived  that 
he  had  seen  a  vision  in  the 'temple:  and  he  continued 

23  making  signs  unto  them,  and  remained  dumb.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  when  the  days  of  his  ministration 
were  fulfilled,  he  departed  unto  his  house. 

24  And  after  these  days  E-lis'a-beth  his  wife  conceived ; 

25  and  she  hid  herself  five  months,  saying.  Thus  hath 
the  Lord  done  unto  me  in  the  days  wherein  he  looked 
upon  me,  to  take  away  my  reproach  among  men.

26  And  in  the  sixth  month  the  angel  Ga'bri-el  was  sent 
from  God  unto  a  city  of  Gal'i-lee,  named  Naz'a-reth, 

27  To  a  virgin  ''espoused  to  a  man  whose  name  was  Jo'seph, 
of  the  house  of  Da'vid ;  and  the  virgin's  name  was  Ma'ry. 

28  And  the  angel  came  in  unto  her,  and  said,  'Hail,  thou 
that  art  \\  highly  favoured,  -^the  Lord  is  with  thee :  blessed 
a?'<  thou  among  women. 

29  And  when  she  saw  him,  "she  was  troubled  at  his  saying, 
and  east  in  her  mind  what  manner  of  salutation  this  should  be. 

30  And  the  angel  said  unto  her.  Fear  not,  Ma'ry :  for  thou 
hast  found  favour  with  God. 

31  ''And,  behold,  thou  shalt  conceive  in  thy  womb,  and 
bring  forth  a  son,  and  'shalt  call  his  name  JESUS. 

32  He  shall  be  great,  *and  shall  be  called  the  Son  of  the 
Highest;  and  'the  Lord  God  shall  give  unto  him  the 
throne  of  his  father  Da'vid : 

33  ""And  he  shall  reign  over  the  house  of  Ja'cob  for  ever; 
and  of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end. 

34  Then  said  Ma'ry  unto  the  angel,  How  shall  this  be, 
seeing  I  know  not  a  man  ? 

35  And  the  angel  answered  and  said  unto  her,  "The  Holy 
Ghost  shall  come  upon  thee,  and  the  power  of  the  Highest 
shall  overshadow  thee:  therefore  also  that  holy  thing  which 
shall  be  born  of  thee,  shall  be  called  "the  Son  of  God. 

36  And,  behold,  thy  cousin  E-lis'a-beth,  she  hath  also  con- 
ceived a  son  in  her  old  age ;  and  this  is  the  sixth  month 
with  her,  who  was  called  barren. 

37  For  ''with  God  nothing  shall  be  impossible. 

38  And  Ma'ry  said.  Behold  the  handmaid  ofthe  Lord ;  be  it  un- 
to me  accordingto  thy  word.  And  the  angel  departed  from  her. 

39  And  Ma'ry  arose  in  those  days,  and  went  into  the  hill 
country  with  haste,  'into  a  city  of  Ju'da ; 

40  And  entered  -into  the  house  of  Zach-a-ri'as,  and 
saluted  E-lis'a-beth. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  E-lis'a-beth  heard  the 
salutation  of  Ma'ry,  the  babe  leaped  in  her  womb;  and 
E-lis'a-beth  was  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost: 

42  And  she  spake  out  with  a  loud  voice,  and  said,  'Blessed 
art  thou  among  women,  and  blessed  is  the  fruit  of  thy  womb. 

43  And  whence  is  this  to  me,  that  the  mother  of  my  Lord 
should  come  to  me? 

44  For,  lo,  as  soon  as  the  voice  of  thy  salutation  sounded 
in  mine  ears,  the  babe  leaped  in  my  womb  for  joy. 

45  And  blessed  is  she  ||that  believed:  for  there  shall  be  a 
performance  of  those  things  which  were  told  herfrom  the  Lord. 

46  And  Ma'ry  said,  'My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord, 

47  And  my  spirit  hath  rejoiced  in  God  my  Saviour. 

48  For  'he  hath  regarded  the  low  estate  of  his  hand- 
maiden :  for,  behold,  from  henceforth  "all  generations  shali 
call  me  blessed. 

49  For  he  that  is  mighty  "hath  done  to  me  great  things ; 
and  ""holy  is  his  name. 

50  And  "his  mercy  is  on  them  that  fear  him,  from  gener- 
ation to  generation. 

51  'He  hath  shewed  strength  with  his  arm ;  "he  hath 
scattered  the  proud  in  the  imagination  of  their  hearts. 

52  'He  hath  put  down  the  mighty  from  their  seats,  and 
exalted  them  of  low  degree. 

53  'He  hath  filled  the  hungry  with  good  things ;  and  the 
rich  he  hath  sent  empty  away. 

54  He  hath  holpen  his  servant  Is'ra-el,  ''in  remembrance 
of  his  mercy ; 

55  'As  he  spake  to  our  fathers,  to  A'bra-ham,  and  to  his 
seed  for  ever. 

56  And  Ma'ry  abode  with  her  about  three  months,  and 
returned  to  her  own  house. 

57  Now  E-lis'a-beth's  full  time  came  that  she  should  be 
delivered ;  and  she  brought  forth  a  son. 

58  And  her  neighbours  and  her  cousins  heard  how  the 


26  Now  in  the  sixth  month  the  angel  Ga'bri-el  was  sent 

27  from  God  unto  acity  of  Gal'i-lee,  named  Naz'a-reth,  to 
a  virgin  betrothed  to  a  man  whose  name  was  Jo'seph, 
of  the  house  of  Da'vid ;  and  the  virgin's  name  was 

28  Ma'ry.  And  he  came  in  unto  her,  and  said.  Hail,  thou 

29  that  art 'highly  favoured,  the  Lord  tswith  thee.^  But 
she  was  greatly  troubled  at  the  .saying,  and  cast  in 
her  mind  what   manner  of  salutation  this  might  be. 

30  And  the  angel  said  unto  her.  Fear  not,  Ma'ry :  forthou 

31  hast  found  'favour  with  God.  And  behold,  thou  sbait 
conceive  in  thy  womb,  and  bring  forth  a  son,  and  shalt 

32  call  his  name  Jesus.  He  shall  be  great,  and  shall  be 
called  the  Son  of  the  Most  High :  and  the  Lord  God 
shall  give  unto  him  the  throne  of  his  father  Da'vid  : 

33  and  he  shall  reign  over  the  house  of  Ja'cob  *for  ever  ; 

34  and  of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end.  And 
Ma'ry  said  unto  the  angel.  How  shall  this  be,  seeing 

35 1  know  not  a  man  ?  And  the  angel  answered  and 
said  unto  her.  The  Holy  Ghost  shall  come  upon  thee, 
and  the  power  of  the  Most  High  shall  overshadow 
thee :   wherefore  also  'that  which  *is  to  be  born  'shall 

36  be  called  holy,  the  Son  of  God.  And  behold,  E-lis'a- 
beth  thy  kinswoman,  she  also  hath  conceived  a  son 
in  her  old  age  :  and  this  is  the  sixth  month  with  her 

37  that  'was  called  barren.     For  no  word  from  God 

38  shall  be  void  of  power.  And  Ma'ry  said.  Behold,  the 
'handmaid  of  the  Lord;  be  it  unto  me  according  to 
thy  word.     And  the  angel  departed  from  her. 

39  And  Ma'ry  arose  in  these  days  and  went  into  the 

40  hill  country  with  haste,  into  a  city  of  Ju'dah;  and 
entered  into   the  house  of  Zach-a-ri'as  and  saluted 

41  E-lis'a-beth.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  E-lis'a-beth 
heard  the  salutation  of  Ma'ry,  the  babe  leaped  in  her 
womb ;  and  E-lis'a-beth  was  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost ; 

42  and  she  lifted  up  her  voice  with  a  loud  cry,  and  said, 
Blessed  art  thou  among  women,  and  blessed  is  the 

43  fruit  of  thy  womb.     And  whence  is  this  to  me,  that 

44  the  mother  of  my  Lord  should  come  unto  me  ?  For 
behold,  when  the  voice  of  thy  salutation  came  into 
mine  ears,  the  babe   leaped   in  my   womb   for  joy. 

45  And  blessed  is  she  that  '"believed ;  for  there  shall  be 
a  fulfilment  of  the  things  which  have  been  spoken 

46  to  her  from  the  Lord.     And  Ma'ry  said, 

My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord, 

47  And  my  spirit  hath  rejoiced  in  God  my  Saviour. 

48  For  he   hath   looked  upon  the  low  estate   of  his 

"handmaiden : 
For  behold,  from  henceforth  all  generations  shall 

call  me  blessed. 
For  he  that  is  mighty  hath  done  to  me  great  things ; 
And  holy  is  his  name. 

And  his  mercy  is  unto  generations  and  generations 
On  them  that  fear  him. 
He  hath  shewed  strength  with  his  arm ; 
He  hath  scattered  the  proud  '^in  the  imagination 

of  their  heart. 
He  hath  put  down  princes  from  their  thrones, 
And  hath  exalted  them  of  low  degree. 
The  hungry  he  hath  filled  with  good  things;

Lord  had  shewed  great  mercy  upon  her ;  and  •'^they  rejoiced 
with  her. 

59  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  'on  the  eighth  day  they  came 
to  circumcise  the  child;  and  they  called  him  Zach-a-ri'as, 
after  the  name  of  his  father. 

60  And  his  mother  answered  and  said,  'Not  so;  but  he 
shall  be  called  John. 

61  And  they  said  unto  her.  There  is  none  of  thy  kindred 
that  is  called  by  this  name. 

62  And  they  made  signs  to  his  father,  how  he  would  have 
him  called. 

63  And  he  asked  for  a  writing  table,  and  wrote,  saying, 
'His  name  is  John.     And  they  marvelled  all. 

64  *And  his  mouth  was  opened  immediately,  and  his 
tongue  loosed,  and  he  spake,  and  praised  God. 

65  And  fear  came  on  all  that  dwelt  round  about  them : 
and  all  these  ||  sayings,  were  noised  abroad  throughout  all 
'the  hill  country  of  Ju-de'a. 

66  And  all  they  that  heard  them,  '"laid  them  up  in  their 
hearts,  saying,  What  manner  of  child  shall  this  be?  And 
"the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with  him. 

67  And  his  father  Zach-a-ri'as  "was  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  prophesied,  saying, 

68  ''Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Is'ra-el ;  for  «he  hath  visited 
and  redeemed  his  people, 

69  ""And  hath  raised  up  a  horn  of  salvation  for  us  in  the

have  been  since  the  world  began ; 

71  That  we  should  be  saved  from  our  enemies,  and  from 
the  hand  of  all  that  hate  us ; 

72  'To  perform  the  mercy  promised  to  our  fathers,  and  to 
remember  his  holy  covenant;

74  That  he  would  grant  unto  us,  that  we,  being  delivered 
out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies,  might  "serve  him  without  fear, 

75  "In  holiness  and  righteousness  before  him,  all  the  days 
of  our  life. 

76  And  thou,  child,  shalt  be  called  the  prophet  of  the  High- 
est :  for  'thou  shalt  go  before  the  face  of  the  Lord  to  prepare 
his  ways; 

77  To  give  knowledge  of  salvation  unto  his  people  °||by 
the  remission  of  their  sins,

79  'To  give  light  to  them  that  sit  in  darkness  and  in  the 
shadow  of  death,  to  guide  our  feet  into  the  way  of  peace.

''was  in  the  deserts  till  the  day  of  his  shewing  unto  Is'ra-el. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Augustus  taxeth  the  Roman  empire — Christ's  nativity,  &c. 

AXD  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  there  went  out  a  decree 
fromCe'sar  Au-gus'tus,thatalltheworldshould  be  ||taxed. 

2  {'And  this  taxing  was  first  made  when  Cy-re'ni-us  was 
governor  of  Syr'i-a.) 

3  And  all  went  to  be  taxed,  every  one  into  his  own  city. 

4  And  Joseph  also  went  up  from  Gari-lee,out  of  the  city  of  Naz'- 
a-reth,  into  Ju-de'a,  unto  'the  city  of  Da' vid.which  is  called  Beth'- 
le-hem,  ('because  he  was  of  the  house  and  lineage  of  Da'vid,) 

5  To  be  taxed  with  Ma'ry  ''his  espoused  wife,  being  great 
with  child. 

6  And  so  it  was,  that,  while  they  were  there,  the  days  were 
accomplished  that  she  should  be  delivered. 

7  And  'she  brought  forth  her  firstborn  son,  and  wraj)ped 
him  in  swaddling  clothes,  and  laid  him  in  a  manger;  because 
there  was  no  room  for  them  in  the  inn. 

8  And  there  were  in  the  same  country  shepherds  abiding 
in  the  field,  keeping  ||  watch  over  their  flock  by  night. 

9  And,  lo,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came  upon  them,  and 


Lord  had   magnified  his   mercy  towards   her;    and 

59  they  rejoiced  with  her.  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
eighth  day,  that  they  came  to  circumcise  the  child ; 
and  they  would  have  called  him  Zach-a-ri'as,  after  the 

60  name  of  his  father.     And  his  mother  answered  and 

61  said.  Not  so;  but  he  shall  be  called  John.  And  they 
said  unto  her.  There  is  none  of  thy  kindred  that  is 

62  called  by  this  name.     And  they  made  signs  to  his 

63  father,  what  he  would  have  him  called.  And  he 
asked   for  a  writing  tablet,  and  wrote,  saying.  His 

64  name  is  John.  And  they  marvelled  all.  And  his 
mouth   was    opened    immediately,  and    his    tongue 

65  loosed,  and  he  spake,  blessing  God.  And  fear  came 
on  all  that  dwelt  round  about  them :  and  all  these 
sayings  were  noised  abroad  throughout  all  the  hill 

66  country  of  Ju-de'a.  And  all  that  heard  them  laid 
them  up  in  their  heart,  saying.  What  then  shall  this 
child  be  ?  For  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with  him 

67  And  his  father  Zach-a-ri'as  was  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  prophesied,  saying, 

68  Blessed  be  the  Lord,  the  God  of  Is'ra-el ; 
For  he  hath  visited  and  wrought  redemption  for 

his  people. 
And  hath  raised  up  a  horn  of  salvation  for  us 
In  the  house  of  his  servant  Da'vid 
(As  he  spake  by  the  mouth  of  his  holy  prophets 

which  have  been  since  the  world  began,) 
Salvation  from  our  enemies,  and  from  the  hand  of 

all  that  hate  us; 
To  shew  mercy  towards  our  fathers, 
And  to  remember  his  holy  covenant; 
The  oath  which  he  sware  unto  A'bra-ham  our  father. 
To  grant  unto  us  that  we  being  delivered  out  of  the 

hand  of  our  enemies 
Should  serve  him  without  fear, 
In  holiness  and  righteousness  before  him  all  our  days. 
Yea  and  thou,  child,  shalt  be  called  the  prophet  of 

the  Most  High : 
For  thou  shalt  go  before  the  face  of  the  Lord  to 

make  ready  his  ways; 
To  give  knowledge  of  salvation  unto  his  people 
In  the  remission  of  their  sins. 
Because  of  the  'tender  mercy  of  our  God, 
^Whereby  the  dayspring  from  on  high  'shall  visit  us. 
To  shine  upon  them  that  sit  in  darkness  and  the 

shadow  of  death ; 
To  guide  our  feet  into  the  way  of  peace. 
And  the  child  grew,  and  waxed  strong  in  spirit,  and 
was  in  the  deserts  till  the  day  of  his  shewing  unto  Is'ra-el.

2  world  would  be  enrolled.  This  was  the  first  enrol- 
ment made  when  Q,ui-rin'i-us  was  governor  of  Syr'i-a. 

3  And  all  went  to  enrol  themselves,  every  one  to  his 

4  own  city.  And  Jo'seph  also  went  up  from  Gal'i-lee, 
out  of  the  city  of  Naz'a-reth,  into  Ju-dse'a,  to  the  city 
of  Da'vid,  which  is  called  Beth'le-hem,  because  he

6  great  with  child.  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  they 
were  there,  the  days  were  fulfilled  that  she  should

son;  and  she  wrapped  him  in  swaddling  clothes,

the  glory  of  the  Lord  shone  round  about  them ;  •'^and  they 
were  sore  afraid. 

10  And  the  angel  said  unto  them,  Fear  not :  for,  behold,  I 
bring  you  good  tidings  of  great  joy,  'which  shall  be  to  all 
people. 

1 1  ''For  unto  you  is  born  this  day  in  the  city  of  Da'vid  'a 
Saviour,  'which  is  Christ  the  Lord. 

12  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  you;  Ye  shall  find  the 
babe  wrapped  in  swaddling  clothes,  lying  in  a  manger. 

13  'And  suddenly  there  was  with  the  angel  a  multitude  of 
the  heavenly  host  praising  God,  and  saying, 

14  "Glory  to  God  in  the  highest,  and  on  earth  "peace,  "good 
will  toward  men. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  angels  were  gone  away  from 
them  into  heaven,  fthe  shepherds  said  one  to  another,  Let 
us  now  go  even  unto  Beth'le-hem,  and  see  this  thing  which 
is  come  to  pass,  which  the  Lord  hath  made  known  unto  us. 

16  And  they  came  with  haste,  and  found  Ma'ry  and  Jo'seph, 
and  the  babe  lying  in  a  manger. 

17  And  when  they  had  seen  it,  they  made  known  abroad 
the  saying  which  was  told  them  concerning  this  child. 

18  And  all  they  that  heard  it,  wondered  at  those  things 
which  were  told  them  by  the  shepherds. 

19  "But  Ma'ry  kept  all  these  things,  and  pondered  them  in 
her  heart. 

20  And  the  shepherds  returned,  glorifying  and  praising 
God  for  all  the  things  that  they  had  heard  and  seen,  as  it 
was  told  unto  them. 

21  'And  when  eight  days  were  accomplished  for  the  circum- 
cising of  the  child,  his  name  was  called  ''JESUS,  which  was 
so  named  of  the  angel  before  he  was  conceived  in  the  womb. 

22  And  when  'the  days  of  her  purification  according  to  the 
law  of  Mo'ses  were  accomplished,  they  brought  him  to  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  to  present  him  to  the  Lord ; 

23  (As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  'Every  male 
that  openeth  the  womb  shall  be  called  holy  to  the  I^ord ;) 

24  And  to  offer  a  sacrifice  according  to  "that  which  is  said 
in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  A  pair  of  turtledoves,  or  two  young 
pigeons. 

25  And,  behold,  there  was  a  man  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  whose 
name  «7a«Sim'e-on;  and  the  same  man  was  just  and  devout, 
'waiting  for  the  consolation  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  the  Holy  Ghost 
was  upon  him. 

26  And  it  was  revealed  unto  him  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  that 
he  should  not  "see  death,  before  he  had  seen  the  Lord's  Christ. 

27  And  he  came  'by  the  Spirit  into  the  temple :  and  when 
the  parents  brought  in  the  child  Jesus,  to  do  for  him  after 
the  custom  of  the  law, 

28  Then  took  he  him  up  in  his  arms,  and  blessed  God 
and  said, 

29  Lord,  "now  lettest  thou  thy  servant  depart  in  peace, 
according  to  thy  word : 

30  For  mine  eyes  'have  seen  thy  salvation, 

31  Which  thou  hast  prepared  before  the  face  of  all  people ; 

32  "A  light  to  lighten  the  Gentiles,  and  the  glory  of  thy 
people  Is'ra-el. 

33  And  Jo'seph  and  his  mother  marveled  at  those  things 
which  were  spoken  of  him. 

34  And  Sim'e-on  blessed  them,  and  said  unto  Ma'ry  his 
mother,  Behold,  this  child  is  set  for  the  ''fall  and  rising  again  of 
many  in  Is'ra-el ;  and  for  'a  sign  which  shall  be  spoken  against; 

35  (Yea,  -^a  sword  shall  pierce  through  thy  own  soul  also ;) 
that  the  thoughts  of  many  hearts  may  be  revealed. 

36  And  there  was  one  An'na,  a  prophetess,  the  daughter  of 
Fha-nu'el,  of  the  tribe  of  A'ser :  she  was  of  a  great  age,  and 
had  lived  with  a  husband  seven  years  from  her  virginity ; 

37  And  she  was  a  widow  of  about  fourscore  and  four 
years,  which  departed  not  from  the  temple,  but  served  God 
with  fastings  and  prayers  'night  and  day. 


the  glory  of  the  Lord  shone  round  about  them :  and 

10  they  were  sore  afraid.  And  the  angel  said  unto 
them.  Be  not  afraid  ;  for  behold,  I  bring  you  good 
tidings  of  great  joy  which  shall  be  to  all  the  people : 

11  for  there  is  born  to  you  this  day  in  the  city  of  Da  vid 

12  a  Saviour,  which  is  'Christ  the  Lord.  And  this  is 
the  sign  unto  you;  Ye  shall  find  a  babe  wrapped  in 

13  swaddling  clothes,  and  lying  in  a  manger.  And 
suddenly  there  was  with  the  angel  a  multitude  of  the 
heavenly  host  praising  God,  and  saying, 

14  Glory  to  God  in  the  highest, 

And  on  earth  ^peace  among  ^menin  whom  he  is 
well  pleased. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  angels  went  away 
from  them  into  heaven,  the  shepherds  said  one  to  an- 
other, Let  us  now  go  even  unto  Beth'le-hem,  and  see 
this  Hhing  that  is  come  to  pass,  which  the  Lord  hath 

16  made  known  unto  us.  And  they  came  with  haste,  and 
found  both  Ma'ry  and  Jo'seph,  and  the  babe  lying  in 

17  the  manger.  And  when  they  saw  it,  they  made  known 
concerning  the  saying  which  was  spoken  to  them 

18  about  this  child.  And  all  that  heard  it  wondered  at 
the  things  which  were  spoken  unto  them  by  the  shep- 

19  herds.     But  Ma'ry  kept  all  these  'sayings,  pondering 

20  them  in  her  heart.  And  the  shepherds  returned,  glori 
fying  and  praising  God  for  all  the  things  that  they  had 
heard  and  seen,  even  as  it  was  spoken  unto  them. 

21  And  when  eight  days  were  fulfilled  for  circumcising 
him,  his  name  was  called  Jesus,  which  was  so  called 
by  the  angel  before  he  was  conceived  in  the  womb. 

22  And  when  the  days  of  their  purification  according 
to  the  law  of  Mo'ses  were  fulfilled,  they  brought  him 

23  up  to  Je-ru'sa^lem,  to  present  him  to  the  Lord  (as  it  is 
written  in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  Every  male  that 
openeth  the  womb  shall  be  called  holy  to  the  Lord), 

24  and  to  offer  a  sacrifice  according  to  that  which  is 
said  in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  A  pair  of  turtledoves,  or 

25  two  young  pigeons.     And  behold,  there  was  a  man 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  whose  name  was  Sim'e-on ;  and  this 
man  was  righteous  and  devout,  looking  for  the  con 
solation  of  Is'ra-el :  and  the  Holy  Spirit  was  upon 

26  him.  And  it  had  been  revealed  unto  him  by  the 
Holy  Spirit,  that  he  should  not  see  death,  before  he 

27  had  seen  the  Lord's  Christ.  And  he  came  in  the 
Spirit  into  the  temple :  and  when  the  parents  brought 
in  the  child  Jesus,  that  they  might  do  concerning 

28  him  after  the  custom  of  the  law,  then  he  received 
him  into  his  arms,  and  blessed  God,  and  said, 

29  Now  lettest  thou  thy  'servant  depart,  O  "Lord, 
According  to  thy  word,  in  peace ; 

30  For  mine  eyes  have  seen  thy  salvation, 

31  Which  thou  hast  prepared  before  the  face  of  all 

peoples ; 

32  A  light  for  'revelation  to  the  Gentiles, 
And  the  glory  of  thy  people  Is'ra-el. 

33  And  his  father  and  his  mother  were  marveling  at 
34 the  things  which  were  spoken  concerning  him;  and 

Sim'e-on  blessed  them,  and  said  unto  Ma'ry  his 
mother.  Behold,  this  child  is  set  for  the  falling  and 
rising  up  of  many  in  Is'ra-el ;  and  for  a  sign  which  is 

35  spoken  against ;  yea  and  a  sword  shall  pierce  through 
thine  own  soul ;   that  thoughts  out  of  many  hearts 

36  may  be  revealed.  And  there  was  one  An'na,  a 
prophetess,  the  daughter  of  Pha-nu'el,  of  the  tribe  of 
Ash'er  (she  was  'of  a  great  age,  having  lived  with  a 

37  husband  seven  years  from  her  virginity,  and  she 
had  been  a  widow  even  for  fourscore  and  four 
years),  wliich  departed  not  from  the  temple,  worship- 
ping with  fastings  and  supplications  night  and  day.  I

38  And  she  coming  in  that  instant  gave  thanks  likewise 
unto  the  Lord,  and  spake  of  him  to  all  them  that  ''looked 
for  redemption  in  ||  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

39  And  when  they  had  performed  all  things  according  to 
the  law  of  the  Lord,  they  returned  into  Gal'i-lee,  to  their 
own  city  Naz'a-reth. 

40  'And  the  child  grew,  and  waxed  strong  in  spirit,  filled 
with  wisdom;  and  the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 

41  Now  his  parents  went  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  *every  year  at 
the  feast  of  the  passover. 

42  And  when  he  was  twelve  years  old  they  went  up  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem  after  the  custom  of  the  feast. 

43  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  the  days,  as  they  returned, 
the  child  Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  Jo'seph 
and  his  mother  knew  not  of  it. 

44  But  they,  supposing  him  to  have  been  in  the  company, 
went  a  day's  journey ;  and  they  sought  him  among  their 
kinsfolk  and  acquaintance. 

45  And  when  they  found  him  not,  they  turned  back  again 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  seeking  him. 

46  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after  three  days  they  found 
him  in  the  temple,  sitting  in  the  midst  of  the  doctors,  both 
hearing  them,  and  asking  them  questions. 

47  And  'all  that  heard  him  were  astonished  at  his  under- 
standing and  answers. 

48  And  when  they  saw  him,  they  were  amazed :  and  his 
mother  said  unto  him,  Son,  why  hast  thou  thus  dealt  with 
us?  behold,  thy  father  and  I  have  sought  thee  sorrowing. 

49  And  he  said  unto  them.  How  is  it  that  ye  sought  me? 
wist  ye  not  that  I  must  be  about  ""my  Father's  business? 

50  And  "they  understood  not  the  saying  which  he  spake 
unto  them. 

51  And  he  went  down  with  them,  and  came  to  Naz'a-reth, 
and  was  subject  un^o  them:  but  his  mother  "kept  all  these 
sayings  in  her  heart. 

52  And  Jesus  "increased  in  wisdom  and  1|  stature,  and  in 
favour  with  God  and  man. 

CHAPTER    III. 

John^s  testimony  of  Christ — Christ  is  baptXMed. 

"^TOW  in  the  fifteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Ti-be'ri-us 
-Ll  Ce'sar,  Pon'ti-us  Pi'late  being  governor  of  Ju-de'a, 
and  Her'od  being  tetrarch  of  Gal'i-lee,  and  his  brother 
Phil'ip  tetrarch  of  It-u-re'a  and  of  the  region  of  Trach-o- 
ni'tis,  and  Ly-sa'ni-as  the  tetrarch  of  Ab-i-le'ne, 

2  "An'nas  and  Ca'ia-phas  being  the  high  priests,  the  word 
of  God  came  unto  John  the  son  of  Zach-a-ri'as  in  the  wilderness. 

3  'And  he  came  into  all  the  country  about  Jor'dan,  preach- 
ing the  baptism  of  repentance  "for  the  remission  of  sms ; 

4  As  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  the  words  of  E-sa'ias  the 
prophet,  saying,  ''The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness, 
Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make  his  paths  straight. 

5  Every  valley  shall  be  filled,  and  every  mountain  and 
hill  shall  be  brought  low;  and  the  crooked  shall  be  made 
straight,  and  the  rough  ways  shall  be  made  smooth ; 

6  And  'all  flesh  shall  see  the  salvation  of  God. 

7  Then  said  he  to  the  multitude  that  came  forth  to  be 
baptized  of  him,  ■''O  generation  of  vipers,  who  hath  warned 
you  to  flee  from  the  wrath  to  come? 

8  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits  ||  worthy  of  repentance,  and 
begin  not  to  say  within  yourselves,  We  have  A'bra-ham  to 
our  father :  for  I  say  unto  you.  That  God  is  able  of  these 
stones  to  raise  up  children  unto  A'bra-ham. 

9  And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid  unto  the  root  of  the  trees : 
'every  tree  therefore  which  bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit,  is 
hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire. 

10  And  the  people  asked  him,  saying,*  What  shall  we  do  then? 

11  He  answereth  and  saith  unto  them,  'He  that  hath  two 
coats,  let  him  impart  to  him  that  hath  none;  and  he  that 
hath  meat,  let  him  do  likewise. 


38  And  coming  up  at  that  very  hour  she  gave  thanks 
unto  God,  and  spake  of  him  to  all  them  that  were 

39  looking  for  the  redemption  of  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And 
when  they  had  accomplished  all  things  that  were 
according  to  the  law  of  the  Lord,  they  returned  into 
Gal'i-lee,  to  their  own  city  Naz'a-reth. 

40  And  the  child  grew,  and  waxed  strong,  'filled 
with  wisdom :  and  the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 

41  And  his  parents  went  every  year  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  at 

42  the  feast  of  the  passover.  And  when  he  was  twelve 
years  old,  they  went  up  after  the  custom  of  the  feast; 

43  and  when  they  had  fulfilled  the  days,  as  they  were 
returning,  the  boy  Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Je-ru'sa- 

441em;  and  his  parents  knew  it  not;  but  supposing 
him  to  be  in  the  company,  they  went  a  day's  jour- 
ney ;  and  they  sought  for  him  among  their  kinsfolk 

45 and  acquaintance:  and  when  they  found   him  not, 

46  they  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  seeking  for  him.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  after  three  days  they  found  him 
in  the  temple,  sitting  in  the  midst  of  the  ^doc- 
tors, both  hearing  them,  and  asking  them  questions : 

47  and  all  that  heard  him  were  amazed  at  his  under- 

48  standing  and  his  answers.  And  when  they  saw  him, 
they  were  astonished :  and  his  mother  said  unto 
him,  ^Son,  why  hast  thou  thus  dealt  with  us?  be- 

49  hold,  thy  father  and  I  sought  thee  sorrowing.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  How  is  it  that  ye  sought  me? 
wist  ye  not  that  I  must  be  'in  my  Father's  house? 

50  And   they    understood   not   the    saying   which    he 

51  spake  unto  them.  And  he  went  down  with  them, 
and  came  to  Naz'a-reth ;  and  he  was  subject  unto 
them:  and  his  mother  kept  all  these  'sayings  in  her 
heart. 

52  And  Jesus  advanced  in  wisdom  and  'stature,  and 
in  'favour  with  God  and  men. 

O  Now  in  the  fifteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Ti-be'ri-us 
Cse'sar,  Pon'ti-us  Pi'late  being  governor  of  Ju-dte'a, 
and  Her'od  being  tetrarch  of  Gal'i-lee,  and  his  brother 
Phil'ip  tetrarch  of  the  region  of  It-ii-rse'a  and  Trach- 

2  o-ni'tis,  and  Ly-sa'ni-as  tetrarch  of  Ab-i-le'ne,  in  the 
high-priesthood  of  An'nas  and  Ca'ia-phas,  the  word 
of  God  came  unto  John  the  son  of  Zach-a-ri'as  in  the 

3  wilderness.  And  he  came  into  all  the  region  round 
about  Jor'dan,  preaching  the  baptism  of  repentance 

4 unto  remission  of  sins;  as  it  is  written  in  the  book 
of  the  words  of  I-sai'ah  the  prophet, 
The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness, 
Make  ye  ready  the  way  of  the  Lord, 
Make  his  paths  straight. 

5  Every  valley  shall  be  filled, 

And  every  mountain  and  hill  shall  be  brought  low; 
And  the  crooked  shall  become  straight^ 
And  the  rough  ways  smooth; 

6  And  all  flesh  shall  see  the  salvation  of  God. 

7  He  said  therefore  to  the  multitudes  that  went  out 
to  be  baptized  of  him.  Ye  oflspring  of  vipers,  who 

8  warned  you  to  flee  from  the  wrath  to  come?  Bring 
forth  therefore  fruits  worthy  of  ^repentance,  and  be- 
gin not  to  say  within  yourselves.  We  have  A'bra-ham 
to  our  father :  for  I  say  unto  you  that  God  is  able 
of  these  stenes  to  raise  up  children  unto  A'bra-ham. 

9  And  even  now  is  the  axe  ajso  laid  unto  the  root  of 
the  trees :  every  tree  therefore  that  bringeth  not  forth 

10  good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire.  And 
the  multitudes  asked  him,  saying.  What  then  must 

11  we  do?  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  He 
that  hath  two  coats,  let  him  impart  to  him  that  hath 
none;  and  he  that  hath  food,  let  him  do  likewise.

12  Then  *came  also  publicans  to  be  baptized,  and  said  unto 
hira,  Master,  what  shall  we  do? 

13  And  he  said  unto  them,  'Exact  no  more  than  that  which 
is  appointed  you. 

14  And  the  soldiers  likewise  demanded  of  him,  saying, 
And  what  shall  we  do?  And  he  said  unto  them,  ||  Do 
violence  to  no  man,  ""neither  accuse  any  falsely ;  and  be 
content  with  your  ||  wages. 

15  Andasthepeoplewere||inexpectation,andallmen||mused 
in  their  hearts  of  John,  M'hether  he  were  the  Christ,  or  not ; 

16  John  answered,  saying  unto  them  all,  "I  indeed  baptize 
you  with  water;  but  one  mightier  than  I  cometh,  the  latchet 
of  whose  shoes  I  am  not  worthy  to  unloose :  he  shall  baptize 
you  with  the  Holy  Ghost  and  with  fire : 

17  Whose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and  he  will  thoroughly  purge 
his  floor,  and  "will  gather  the  wheat  into  his  garner;  but 
the  chafl"  he  will  burn  with  fire  unquenchable. 

18  And  many  other  things  in  his  exhortation  preached  he 
unto  the  people. 

19  ""But  Her'od  the  tetrarch,  being  reproved  by  him  for 
He-ro'di-as  his  brother  Phil'ip's  wife,  and  for  all  the  evils 
which  Her'od  had  done, 

20  Added  yet  this  above  all,  that  he  shut  up  John  in  prison. 

21  Now  when  all  the  people  were  baptized,  «it  came  to 
pass,  that  Jesus  also  being  baptized,  and  praying,  the  heaven 
was  opened, 

22  And  the  Holy  Ghost  descended  in  a  bodily  shape  like 
a  dove  upon  him,  and  a  voice  came  from  heaven,  which  said, 
Thou  art  my  beloved  Son ;  in  thee  I  am  well  pleased. 

23  And  Jesus  himself  began  to  be  'about  thirty  years  of 
age,  being  (as  was  supposed)  'the  son  of  Jo'seph,  which  was 
the  son  of  He'li,

26  Which  was  the  son  of  Ma'ath,  which  was  the  son  of 
Mat-ta-thi'as,  which  was  the  son  of  Sem'e-i,  which  was  the  son 
of  Jo'seph,  which  was  the  son  of  Ju'da,

12  And  there  came  also  'publicans  to  be  baptized,  and 
they  said  unto  him,   ^Master,   what   must    we   do? 

13  And  he  said  unto  them.  Extort  no  more  than  that 

14  which  is  appointed  you.  And  'soldiers  also  asked 
him,  saying,  And  we,  what  must  we  do  ?  And  he 
said  unto  them,  Do  violence  to  no  man,  neither  *ex- 
act  anything  wrongfully;  and  be  content  with  your 
wages. 

15  And  as  the  people  were  in  expectation,  and  all 
men    reasoned    in    their    hearts    concerning    John, 

16  whether  haply  he  were  the  Christ;  John  answered, 
saying  unto  them  all,  I  indeed  baptize  you  with 
water;  but  there  cometh  he  that  is  mightier  than 
I,  the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am  not  'worthy  to 
unloose :  he  shall  baptize  you  *with  the  Holy  Ghost 

17aud  with  fire:  whose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  throughly 
to  cleanse  his  threshing-floor,  and  to  gather  the 
wheat  into  his  garner;  but  the  chaff  he  will  burn 
up  with  unquenchable  fire. 
18  With  many  other  exhortations  therefore  preached 
19 he  'good  tidings  unto  the  people;  but  Her'od  the 
tetrarch,  being  reproved  by  him  for  He-ro'di-as  his 
brother's   wife,  and   for  all  the   evil    things    which 

20  Her'od  had  done,  added  yet  this  above  all,  that  he 
shut  up  John  in  prison. 

21  Now  it  came  to  pass,  when  all  the  people  were 
baptized,   that,    Jesus   also   having   been    baptized, 

22  and  praying,  the  heaven  was  opened,  and  the 
Holy  Ghost  descended  in  a  bodily  form  as  a 
dove,  upon  him,  and  a  voice  came  out  of  heaven. 
Thou  art  my  beloved  Son;  in  thee  I  am  well 
pleased. 

23  And  Jesus  himself,  when  he  began  to  teach,  was 
about  thirty  years  of  age,  being  the  son    (as  was 

24  supposed)  of  Jo'seph,  the  son  of  He'li,  the  son  of

CHAPTER   IV. 

Christ's  temptation— Overcometh  the  devil— Begtnneth  to  preach. 

AND  "Jesus  being  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  returned  from 
Jor'dan,  and  'was  led  by  the  Spirit  into  the  wilderness, 

2  Being  forty  days  tempted  of  the  devil.  And  'in  those 
days  he  did  eat  nothing:  and  when  they  were  ended,  he 
afterward  hungered. 

3  And  the  devil  said  unto  him,  If  thou  be  the  Son  of  God, 
command  this  stone  that  it  be  made  bread. 

4  And  Jesus  answered  him,  saying,  ''It  is  written.  That  man 
shall  not  live  by  bread  alone,  but  by  every  word  of  God. 

5  And  the  devil,  taking  him  up  into  a  high  mountain,  shewed 
unto  him  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  world  in  a  moment  of  time. 

6  And  the  devil  said  unto  him.  All  this  power  will  I  give 
thee,  and  the  glory  of  them  :  for  'that  is  delivered  unto  me ; 
and  to  whomsoever  I  will,  I  give  it. 

7  If  thou  therefore  wilt  ||  worship  me,  all  shall  be  thine. 

8  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Get  thee  behind 
me,  Sa'tan :  for  -^it  is  written.  Thou  shalt  worship  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 

9  "And  he  brought  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  set  him  on  a 
pinnacle  of  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him,  If  thou  be  the 
Son  of  God,  cast  thyself  down  from  hence: 

10  For  ''it  is  written,  He  shall  give  his  angels  charge  over 
thee,  to  keep  thee : 

11  And  in  their  hands  they  shall  bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any 
time  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

12  And  Jesus  answering,  said  unto  him,  'It  is  said.  Thou 
shalt  not  tempt  the  Lord  thy  God. 

13  And  when  the  devil  had  ended  all  the  temptation,  he 
departed  from  him  *for  a  season. 

14  "[['And  Jesus  returned  "in  the  power  of  the  Spirit  into 
"Gal'i-lee:  and  there  went  out  a  fame  of  him  through  all 
the  region  round  about. 

15  And  he  taught  in  their  synagogues,  beingglorified  of  all. 

16  ^And  he  came  to  "Naz'a-reth,  where  he  had  been 
brought  up :  and,  as  his  custom  was,  "he  went  into  the 
synagogue  on  the  sabbath  day,  and  stood  up  for  to  read. 

17  And  there  was  delivered  unto  him  the  book  of  the 
prophet  E-sa'ias.  And  when  he  had  opened  the  book,  he 
found  the  place  where  it  was  written, 

18  'The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon  me,  because  he  hath 
anointed  me  to  preach  the  gospel  to  the  poor;  he  hath  sent 
me  to  heal  the  brokenhearted,  to  preach  deliverance  to  the 
captives,  and  recovering  of  sight  to  the  blind,  to  set  at  lib- 
erty them  that  are  bruised, 

19  To  preach  the  acceptable  year  of  the  Lord. 

20  And  he  closed  the  book,  and  he  gave  it  again  to  the 
minister,  and  sat  down.  And  the  eyes  of  all  them  that 
were  in  the  synagogue  were  fastened  on  him. 

21  And  he  began  to  say  unto  them.  This  day  is  this  scrip- 
ture fulfilled  in  your  ears. 

22  And  all  bare  him  witness,  and  'wondered  at  the  gra- 
cious woi'ds  which  proceeded  out  of  his  mouth.  And  they 
said,  'Is  not  this  Jo'seph's  son  ? 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  will  surely  say  unto  me 
this  proverb.  Physician,  heal  thyself:  whatsoever  we  have 
heard  done  in  'Ca-per'na-um,  do  also  here  in  "thy  country. 

24  And  he  said.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  No  ^prophet  is 
accepted  in  his  own  country. 

25  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth,  "many  widows  were  in  Is'ra-el 


Ar-phax'ad,  the  son  of  Shem,  the  son  of  No'ah,  the 

37  sew  of  La'mech,  the  son  of  Me-thu'se-lah,  the  son  of 
E'noch,  the  son  of  Ja'red,  the  son  of  Ma-ha'la-le-el, 

38  the  son  of  Ca-i'nan,  the  son  of  E'nos,  the  son  of  Seth, 
the  son  of  A'dam,  the  son  of  God. 

^  And  Jesus,  full  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  returned  from 
the  Jor'dan,  and  was  Ued  by  the  Spirit  in  the  wilder- 

2  ness  during  forty  days,  being  tempted  of  the  devil. 
And  he  did  eat  nothing  in  those  days :    and  when 

3  they  were  completed,  he  hungered.  And  the  devil 
said  unto  him.  If  thou  art  the  Son  of  God,  command 

4  this  stone  that  it  become  ^bread.  And  Jesus  an- 
swered unto  him.  It  is  written,  Man  shall  not  live 

5  by  bread  alone.  And  he  led  him  up,  and  shewed 
him  all  the  kingdoms  of  Hhe  world  in  a  moment  of 

6  time.  And  the  devil  said  unto  him.  To  thee  will  I 
give  all  this  authority,  and  the  glory  of  them :  for 
it  hath  been  delivered  unto  me ;  and  to  whomsoever 

7 1  will  I  give  it.     If  thou  therefore  wilt  worship  be- 

8  fore  me,  it  shall  all  be  thine.  And  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  him.  It  is  written,  Thou  shall  wor- 
ship the   Lord  thy  God,  and  him  only  shalt  thou 

9  serve.  And  he  led  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  set  him 
on  the  ^pinnacle  of  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him. 
If  thou  art  the  Son  of  God,  cast  thyself  down  from 

10 hence:  for  it  is  written. 

He  shall  give  his  angels  charge  concerning  thee, 
to  guard  thee: 

Hand, 

On  their  hands  they  shall  bear  thee  up, 

Lest  haply  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

12  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  him,  It  is  said,  Thou 
shalt  not  tempt  the  Lord  thy  God. 

13  And  when  the  devil  had  completed  every  tempta- 
tion, he  departed  from  him  'for  a  season. 

14  And  Jesus  returned  in  the  power  of  the  Spirit  into 
Gal'i-lee :    and    a    fame  went   out   concerning   him 

15  through  all  the  region  round  about.  And  he  taught 
in  their  synagogues,  being  glorified  of  all. 

16  And  he  came  to  Naz'a-reth,  where  he  had  been 
brought  up :  and  he  entered,  as  his  custom  was,  into 
the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath  day,  and  stood  up  to 

17  read.  And  there  was  delivered  unto  him  'the  book 
of  the  prophet  I-sa'iah.  And  he  opened  the  'book, 
and  found  the  place  where  it  was  written, 

18  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon  me, 

'Because  he  anointed  me  to  preach  'good  tidings  to 
the  poor: 

He  hath  sent  me  to  proclaim  release  to  the  cap- 
tives. 

And  recovering  of  sight  to  the  blind. 

To  set  at  liberty  them  that  are  bruised, 

19  To  proclaim  the  acceptable  year  of  the  Lord. 

20  And  he  closed  the  'book,  and  gave  it  back  to  the 
attendant,  and  sat  down :  and  the  eyes  of  all  in  the 

21  synagogue  were  fastened  on  him.  And  he  began 
to  say  unto  them.  To-day  hath  this  scripture  been 

22  fulfilled  in  your  ears.  And  all  bare  him  witness, 
and  wondered  at  the  words  of  grace  which  pro- 
ceeded out  of  his  mouth :   and    they  said.  Is  not 

23 this  Jo'seph's  son?  And  he  said  unto  them.  Doubt- 
less ye  will  say  unto  me  this  parable,  Physician, 
heal  thyself:  whatsoever  we  have  heard  done  at 
Ca-per'na-um,  do  also  here  in  thine  own   country. 

24  And  he  said.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  No  prophet  is 

25  acceptable  in  his  own  country.  But  of  a  truth  I 
say  unto  you.  There  were  many  widows  in  Is'ra-el

in  the  days  of  E-li'as,  when  the  heaven  was  shut  up  three  years 
and  six  months,  when  great  famine  was  throughout  all  the  land ; 

26  But  unto  none  of  them  was  E-li'as  sent,  save  unto  Sa- 
rep'ta,  a  city  of  Si'don,  unto  a  woman  that  was  a  widow. 

27  'And  many  lepers  were  in  Is'ra-el  in  the  time  of  E-li-se'us 
the  prophet;  and  none  of  them  was  cleansed,  saving  Na'a- 
man  the  Syr'i-an. 

28  And  all  they  in  the  synagogue,  when  they  heard  these 
things,  were  filled  with  wrath, 

29  And  rose  up,  and  thrust  him  out  of  the  city,  and  led 
him  unto  the  ||brow  of  the  hill  whereon  their  city  was 
built,  that  they  might  cast  him  down  headlong. 

30  But  he,  "passing  through  the  midst  of  them,  went  his  way, 

31  And  'came  down  to  Ca-per'na-um,  a  city  of  Gal'i-lee, 
and  taught  them  on  the  sabbath  days. 

32  And  they  were  astonished  at  his  doctrine :  "for  his 
word  was  with  power. 

33  ^''And  in  the  synagogue  there  was  a  man  which  had 
a  spirit  of  an  unclean  devil,  and  he  cried  out  with  a  loud 
voice, 

34  Saying,  |i  Let  ua  alone;  what  have  we  to  do  with  thee, 
thou  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth  ?  art  thou  come  to  destroy  us  ?  'I 
know  thee  who  thou  art ;  -^the  Holy  One  of  God. 

35  And  Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying.  Hold  thy  peace,  and 
come  out  of  him.  And  when  the  devil  had  thrown  him  in 
the  mid.st,  he  came  out  of  him,  and  hurt  him  not. 

36  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and  spake  among  them- 
selves, saying.  What  a  word  is  this !  for  with  authority  and 
power  he  commandeth  the  unclean  spirits,  and  they  come 
out. 

37  And  the  fame  of  him  went  out  into  every  place  of  the 
country  round  about. 

38  ^f'A-ud  he  arose  out  of  the  synagogue,  and  entered  into 
Si'mon's  house.  And  Si'mon's  wife's  mother  was  taken  with 
a  great  fever ;  and  they  besought  him  for  her.  - 

39  And  he  stood  over  her,  and  rebuked  the  fever ;  and  it 
left  her:  and  immediately  she  arose  and  ministered  unto 
them.

Miraculous  draught  of  fishes— A  leper  cleansed— Palsy  healed,  &c. 

AND  "it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  the  people  pressed  upon 
him  to  hear  the  word  of  God,  he  stood  by  the  lake  of 
Gen-nes'a-ret, 

2  And  saw  two  ships  standing  by  the  lake :  but  the  fish- 
ermen were  gone  out  of  them,  and  were  washing  their  nets. 

3  And  he  entered  into  one  of  the  ships,  which  was  Si'mon's, 
and  prayed  him  that  he  would  thrust  out  a  little  from  the  land. 
And  he  sat  down,  and  taught  the  people  out  of  the  ship. 

4  Now  when  he  had  left  speaking,  he  said  unto  Si'mon, 
•"Launch  outinto the  deep,and  letdown  your  nets  for  a  draught. 

5  And  Si'mon  answering,  said  unto  him,  Master,  we  have 
toiled  all  the  night,  and  have  taken  nothing ;  nevertheless 
at  thy  word  I  will  let  down  the  net. 

6  Aud  when  they  had  this  done,  they  inclosed  a  great 
multitude  of  fishes  :  and  their  net  brake. 

7  And  they  beckoned  unto  their  partners,  which  were  in  the 


in  the  days  of  E-li'jah,  when  the  heaven  was  shut  up 
three  years  and  six  months,  when  there  came  a  great 

26  famine  over  all  the  land ;  and  unto  none  of  them  was 
E-li'jah  sent,  but  only  to  'Zar'e-phath,  in  the  land 

27  of  Si'don,  unto  a  woman  that  was  a  widow.  And 
there  were  many  lepers  in  Is'ra-el  in  the  time  of 
E-li'sha  the  prophet;  and  none  of  them  was  cleansed, 

28  but  only  Na  a-man  the  Syr'i-an.  And  they  were  all 
filled   with  wrath  in  the   synagogue,  as  they  heard 

29 these  things;  and  they  rose  up,  and  cast  him  forth 
out  of  the  city,  and  led  him  unto  the  brow  of  the 
hill  whereon  their  city  was  built,  that  they  might 

30throw  him  down  headlong.  But  he  passing  through 
the  midst  of  them  went  his  way. 

31  And hecamedowntoCa-per'na-um,a  city  of  Gal'i-lee. 

32  And  he  was  teaching  them  on  the  sabbath  day  :  and 
they  were  astonished  at  his  teaching;  for  his  word 

33  was  with  authority.  And  in  the  synagogue  there 
was  a  man,  which  had  a  spirit  of  an  unclean  Mevil ; 

34  and  he  cried  out  with  a  loud  voice,  'Ah  !  what  have 
we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth?  art 
thou  come  to  destroy  us?     I  know  thee  who  thou 

35  art,  the  Holy  One  of  God.  And  Jesus  rebuked  him, 
saying.  Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out  of  him.  And 
when  the  Mevil  had  thrown  him  down  in  the  midst, 

36  he  came  out  of  him,  having  done  him  no  hurt.  And 
amazement  came  upon  all,  and  they  spake  together, 
one  with  another,  saying.  What  is  Hhis  word?  for 
with  authority  and  power  he  commandeth  the  un- 

37  clean  spirits,  and  they  come  out.  And  there  went 
forth  a  rumour  concerning  him  into  every  place  of 
the  region  round  about. 

38  And  he  rose  up  from  the  synagogue,  and  entered 
into  the  house  of  Si'mon.  And  Si'mon's  wife's 
mother  was  holden  with  a  great  fever;  and  they  be- 

39  sought  him  for  her.  And  he  stood  over  her,  and 
rebuked  the  fever ;  and  it  left  her :  and  immediately 
she  rose  up  and  ministered  unto  them. 

40  And  when  the  sun  was  setting,  all  they  that  had 
any  sick  with  divers  diseases  brought  them  unto  him ; 
and  he  laid  his  hands  on   every  one  of  them,  and 

41  healed  them.  And  '^devils  also  came  out  from  many, 
crying  out,  and  saying.  Thou  art  the  Son  of  God. 
And  rebuking  them,  he  suffered  them  not  to  speak, 
because  they  knew  that  he  was  the  Christ. 

42  And  when  it  was  day,  he  came  out  and  went  into 
a  desert  place :  and  the  multiudes  sought  after  him, 
and  came  unto  him,  and  would  have  stayed  him,  that 

43  he  should  not  go  from  them.  But  he  said  unto  them, 
I  must  preach  the  'good  tidings  of  the  kingdom  of 
God  to  the  other  cities  also :  for  therefore  was  I  sent. 

44  And  he  was  preaching  in  the  synagogues  of  "Gal'i-lee. 

V  Now  it  came  to  pass,  while  the  multitude  pressed 
upon  him  and  heard  the  word  of  God,  that  ne  was 

2  standing  by  the  lake  of  Gen-nes'a-ret ;  and  he  saw  two 
boats  standing  by  the  lake :  but  the  fishermen  had 
gone  out  of  them,   and  were    washing   their  nets. 

3  And  he  entered  into  one  of  the  boats,  which  was 
Si'mon's,  and  asked  him  to  put  out  a  little  from  the 
land.     And  he  sat  down  and  taught  the  multitudes 

4 out  of  the  boat.  And  when  he  had  left  speaking, 
he  said  unto  Si'mon,  Put  out  into  the  deep,  and  let 

5 down  your  nets  for  a  draught.  And  Simon  an- 
swered and  said.  Master,  we  toiled  all  night,  and 
took  nothing:  but  at  thy  word  I  will  let  down  the 

6  nets.  And  when  they  had  this  done,  they  inclosed  a 
great  multitude  of  fishes ;  and  their  nets  were  break- 

7ing;  and  they  beckoned  unto  their  partners  in  the

came,  and  filled  both  the  ship.s,  so  that  they  began  to  sink. 

8  When  Si'mon  Pe'ter  saw  it,  he  fell  down  at  Jesus'  knees, 
saying,  "Depart  from  me ;  for  I  am  a  sinful  man,  O  Lord. 

9  For  he  was  astonished,  and  all  that  were  with  him,  at 
the  draught  of  the  fishes  which  they  had  taken : 

10  And  so  was  also  James,  and  John,  the  sons  of  Zeb'e- 
dee,  which  were  partners  with  Si'mon.  And  Jesus  said  unto 
Si'mon,  Fear  not;  ''from  henceforth  thou  shalt  catch  men. 

11  And  Avhen  they  had  brought  their  ships  to  laud,  'they 
forsook  all,  and  followed  him. 

12  %^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  in  a  certain  city, 
behold  a  man  full  of  leprosy ;  who  seeing  Jesus  fell  on  his 
face,  and  besought  him,  saying,  Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou 
canst  make  me  clean. 

13  And  he  put  forth  his  hand,  and  touched  him,  saying,  I 
will :  Be  thou  clean.  And  immediately  the  leprosy  departed 
from  him. 

14  "And  he  charged  him  to  tell  no  man:  but  go, and  shew 
thyself  to  the  priest,  and  offer  for  thy  cleansing,  ''according 
as  Mo'ses  commanded,  for  a  testimony  unto  them. 

15  But  so  much  the  more  went  there  a  fame  abroad  of 
him:  'and  great  multitudes  came  together  to  hear,  and  to 
be  healed  by  him  of  their  infirmities. 

16  ^*And  he  withdrew  himself  into  the  wilderness,  and 
prayed. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass  on  a  certain  day,  as  he  was  teaching, 
that  there  were  Phar'i-sees  and  doctors  of  the  law  sitting  by, 
which  were  come  out  of  every  town  of  Gal'i-lee,  and  Ju-de'a,  and 
Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  the  power  of  the  Lord  was  jo/-esen<to  heal  them. 

18  ^'And,  behold,  men  brought  in  a  bed  a  man  which  was 
taken  with  a  palsy :  and  they  sought  means  to  bring  him 
in,  and  to  lay  him  before  him. 

19  And  when  they  could  not  find  by  what  way  they  might 
bring  him  in  because  of  the  multitude,  they  went  upon  the 
housetop,  and  let  him  down  through  the  tiling  with  his 
couch  into  the  midst  before  Jesus. 

20  And  when  he  saw  their  faith,  he  said  unto  him,  Man, 
thy  sius  are  forgiven  thee. 

21  '"And  the  scribes  and  the  Phar'i-sees  began  to  reason, 
saying,  Who  is  this  which  speaketh  bla.sphemies ?  "AVho 
can  forgive  sius  but  God  alone? 

22  But  when  Jesus  perceived  their  thoughts,  he  answer- 
ing, said  unto  them.  What  reason  ye  in  your  hearts? 

23  Whether  is  easier  to  say.  Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee ;  or 
to  say,  Ri.<e  up  and  walk  ? 

24  But  that  ye  may  know  that  the  Son  of  man  hath  power 
upon  earth  to  forgive  sins,  (he  said  unto  the  sick  of  the 
palsy,)  I  .say  unto  thee,  Arise,  and  take  up  thy  couch,  and 
go  into  thine  house. 

25  And  immediately  he  ro.se  up  before  them,  and  took  up  that 
whereon  he  lay,  and  departed  to  his  own  house,  glorifying  God. 

26  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and  they  glorified  God,  and 
were  filled  with  fear,  saying,  We  have  seen  strange  things 
to-day. 

27  ^^'And  after  these  things  he  went  forth,  and  saw  a 
publican,  named  Le'vi,  sitting  at  the  receipt  of  custom  :  and 
he  said  unto  him,  Follow  me. 

28  And  he  left  all,  rose  up,  and  followed  him. 

29  "And  Le'vi  made  him  a  great  feast  in  his  own  house : 
and  ''there  was  a  great  company  of  publicans  and  of  others 
that  sat  down  witii  them. 

30  But  their  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees  murmured  against  his 
disciples,  saying.  Why  do  ye  eat  and  drink  with  publicans 
and  sinners? 

31  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  them,  They  that  are 
whole  need  not  a  physician ;  but  they  that  are  sick. 

32  ''I  came  not  to  call  the  righteou8,but  sinners  to  repentance. 

33  51  And  they   said  unto  him,  'Why  do  the  disciples  of 


other  boat,  that  they  should  come  and  help  them. 
And   they  came,  and  filled  both  the  boats,  so  that 

8  they  began  to  sink.     But  Si'mon   Pe'ter,  when  he 
saw  it,  fell  down  at  Jesus'  knees,  saying.  Depart 

9  from  me ;  for  I  am  a  sinful   man,  O  Lord.     For  he 
was   amazed,   and  all  that   were   with    him,   at  the 

lOdraught  of  the  fishes  which  they  had  taken;  and  so 
were  also  James  and  John,  sons  of  Zeb'e-dee,  which 
were  partners  with  Si'mon.  And  Jesus  said  unto 
Si'mon,  Fear  not ;  from  henceforth  thou  shalt  'catch 

11  men.  And  when  they  had  brought  their  boats  to 
land,  they  left  all,  and  followed  him. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  he  was  in  one  of  the 
cities,  behold,  a  man  full  of  leprosy :  and  when  he 
saw  Jesus,  he  fell  on  his  face,  and  besought  him, 
saying,  Lord,  if  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

13  And  he  stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  touched  him, 
saying,  I  will;  be  thou  made  clean.     And  straight- 

14  way  the  leprosy  departed  from  him.  And  he  charged 
him  to  tell  no  man :  but  go  thy  way,  and  shew  thy- 
self to  the  priest,  and  offer  for  thy  cleansing,  accord- 
ing as   Mo'ses    commanded,   for  a  testimony    unto 

15  them.  But  so  much  the  more  went  abroad  the 
report  concerning  him:  and  great  multitudes  came 
together  to  hear,  and  to  be  healed   of  their  infirm- 

IGities.  But  he  withdrew  himself  in  the  deserts,  and 
prayed. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass  on  one  of  those  days,  that  he 
was  teachiug ;  and  there  were  Phar'i-sees  and  doctors 
of  the  law  sitting  by,  which  were  come  out  of  every 
village  of  Gal'i-lee  and  Ju-dse'a  and  Je-ru'.sa-lem :  and 

18  the  power  of  the  Lord  was  with  him  Ho  heal.  And 
behold,  men  bring  on  a  bed  a  man  that  was  palsied : 
and   they   sought   to   bring  him  in,  and  to  lay  him 

19  before  him.  And  not  finding  by  what  way  they 
might  bring  him  in  because  of  the  multitude,  they 
went  up  to  the  housetop,  and  let  him  down  through 
the  tiles  with  his  couch  into  the  midst  before  Jesus. 

20  And  seeing  their  faith,  he  said,  Man,  thy  sins  are 

21  forgiven  thee.  And  the  scribes  and  the  Phar'i-sees 
began  to  reason,  .saying,  Who  is  this  that  speaketh 
blasphemies?     Who  can  forgive  sins,  but  God  alone? 

22  But  Jesus  perceiving  their  reasonings,  answered  and 
said  unto   them,  'What   reason  ye  in  your   hearts? 

23  Whether   is   easier,   to  say.  Thy   sins  are  forgiven 

24  thee ;  or  to  say,  Arise  and  walk  ?  But  that  ye  may 
know  that  the  Son  of  man  hath  *power  on  earth  to 
forgive  sins  (he  said  unto  him  that  was  palsied),  I 
say  unto  thee.  Arise,  and  take  up  thy  couch,  and  go 

25  unto  thy  house.  And  immediately  he  rose  up  be- 
fore them,  and  took  up  that  whereon  he  lay,   and 

26  departed  to  his  house,  glorifying  God.  And  amaze- 
ment took  hold  on  all,  and  they  glorified  God ;  and 
they  were  filled  with  fear,  saying.  We  have  seen 
strange  things  to-day. 

27  And  after  these  things  he  went  forth,  and  beheld 
a  publican,  named  Le'vi,  sitting  at  the  place  of  toll, 

28  and   said  unto    him.   Follow   me.     And  he  forsook 

29  all,  and  rose  up  and  followed  him.  And  Le'vi 
made  him  a  great  feast  in  his  house :  and  there 
was  a  great   multitude   of  publicans  and   of  others 

30  that  were  sittiug  at  meat  with  them.  And  Hhe 
Phar'i-sees  and  their  scribes  murmured  again.st  his

31  the  publicans  and  sinners  ?  And  Jesus  answering 
said  unto  them.  They  that  are  whole  have  no  need 

32  of  a  physician ;  but  they  that  are  sick.  I  am  not 
come  to  call  the  righteous  but  sinners  to  repent-

John  fast  often,  and  make  prayers,  and  likewise  the  disciples 
of  the  Phar'i-sees ;  but  thine  eat  and  drink  ? 

34  And  he  said  unto  them.  Can  ye  make  the  children  of  the 
bridechamber  fast,  while  the  bridegroom  is  with  them  ? 

35  But  the  days  will  come,  when  the  bridegroom  shall  be 
taken  away  from  them,  and  then  shall  they  fast  in  those  days. 

36  ^'And  he  spake  also  a  parable  unto  them;  No  man 
putteth  a  piece  of  a  new  garment  upon  an  old :  if  otherwise, 
then  both  the  new  maketh  a  rent,  and  the  piece  that  was  taken 
out  of  the  new  agreeth  not  with  the  old. 

37  And  no  man  putteth  new  wine  into  old  bottles;  else 
the  new  wine  will  burst  the  bottles,  and  be  spilled,  and  the 
bottles  shall  perish. 

38  But  new  wine  must  be  put  into  new  bottles ;  and  both 
are  preserved. 

39  No  man  also  having  drunk  old  wine,  straightway  de- 
sireth  new ;  for  he  saith,  The  old  is  better. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

Christ  chooseth  the  twelve  apostles. 

AND  °it  came  to  pass  on  the  second  sabbath  after  the 
first,  that  he  went  through  the  corn  fields;  and  his  dis- 
ciples plucked  the  ears  of  corn,  and  did  eat,  rubbing  them  in 
their  hands. 

2  And  certain  of  the  Phar'i-sees  said  unto  them,  Why  do  ye 
that  ''which  is  not  lawful  to  do  on  the  sabbath  days? 

3  And  Jesus  answering  them,  said,  Have  ye  not  read  so 
much  as  this,  "what  Da'vid  did,  when  himself  was  a  hungered, 
and  they  which  were  with  him ; 

4  How  he  went  into  the  house  of  God,  and  did  take  and 
eat  the  shewbread,  and  gave  also  to  them  that  were  with  him ; 
''which  it  is  not  lawful  to  eat  but  for  the  priests  alone? 

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  That  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord 
also  of  the  sabbath. 

6  "And  it  came  to  pass  also  on  another  sabbath,  that  he 
entered  into  the  synagogue  and  taught:  and  there  was  a 
man  whose  right  hand  was  withered. 

7  And  the  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees  watched  him,  whether  he 
would  heal  on  the  sabbath  day ;  that  they  might  find  an  ac- 
cusation against  him. 

8  But  he  knew  their  thoughts,  and  said  to  the  man  which 
had  the  withered  hand,  Rise  up,  and  stand  forth  in  the  midst. 
And  he  arose  and  stood  forth. 

9  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  I  will  ask  you  one  thing;  Is 
it  lawful  on  the  sabbath  days  to  do  good,  or  to  do  evil  ?  to 
save  life,  or  to  destroy  itf 

10  And  looking  round  about  upon  them  all,  he  said  unto 
the  man,  Stretch  forth  thy  hand.  And  he  did  so :  and  his 
hand  was  restored  whole  as  the  other. 

11  And  they  were  filled  with  madness;  and  communed  one 
with  another  what  they  might  do  to  Jesus. 

12  -^And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  he  went  out  into 
a  mountain  to  pray,  and  continued  all  night  in  prayer  to  God. 

13  ^And  when  it  was  day,  he  called  tmto  him  his  disciples : 
"and  of  them  he  chose  twelve,  whom  also  he  named  apostles ; 

14  Si'mon,  (*whom  he  also  named  Pe'ter,)  and  An'drewhis 
brother,  James  and  John,  Phil'ip  and  Bar-thol'o-mew, 

15  Mat'thew  and  Thom'as,  James  the  son  of  Al-phe'us,  and 
Si'mon  called  Ze-lo'tes, 

16  And  Ju'das  'the  brother  of  James,  and  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot, 
which  also  was  the  traitor. 

17  ^And  he  came  down  with  them,  and  stood  in  the  plain, 
and  the  company  of  his  disciples,  *and  a  great  multitude  of 
people  out  of  all  Ju-de'a  and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  from  the  sea- 
coast  of  Tyre  and  Si'don,  which  came  to  hear  him,  and  to  be 
healed  of  their  diseases; 

18  And  they  that  were  vexed  with  unclean  spirits :  and  they 
were  healed. 

19  And  the  whole  multitude  'sought  to  touch  him:  for 
"there  went  virtue  out  of  him,  and  healed  them  all. 


John  fast  often,  and  make   supplications;   likewise 

also  the  di&dples  of  the  Phar'i-sees ;  but  thine  eat  and 
34  drink.     And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Can  ye  make  the 

sons  of  the  bride-chamber  fast^  while  the  bridegroom 
35 is  with  them ?     But  the  days  will  come;  and  when 

the  bridegroom  shall  be  taken  away  from  them,  then 

36  will  they  fast  in  those  days.  And  he  spake  also  a 
parable  unto  them;  No  man  rendeth  a  piece  from  a 
new  garment  and  putteth  it  upon  an  old  garment ; 
else  he  will  rend  the  new,  and  also  the  piece  from  the 

37  new  will  not  agree  with  the  old.  And  no  man 
putteth  new  wine  into  old  'wine-skins;  else  the 
new  wine  will  burst  the  skins,  and    itself  will  be 

38  spilled,  and  the  skins  will  perish.     But   new  wine 

39  must  be  put  into  fresh  wine-skins.  And  no  man 
having  drunk  old  wine  desireth  new :  for  he  saith, 
The  old  is  ^good. 

v)  Now  it  came  to  pass  on  a  'sabbath,  that  he  was 
going  through  the  cornfields;  and  his  disciples 
plucked  the  ears  of  corn,  and  did  eat,  rubbing  them 

2  in  their  hands.  But  certain  of  the  Phar'i-sees  said, 
Why  do  ye  that  which  it  is  not  lawful  to  do  on  the 

3. sabbath  day?  And  Jesus  answering  them  said. 
Have  ye  not  read  even  this,  what  Da'vid  did,  when 
he  was  an  hungred,  he,  and  they   that  were   with 

4 him;  how  he  entered  into  the  house  of  God,  and 
did  take  and  eat  the  shewbread,  and  gave  also  to 
them  that  were  with  him ;  which  it  is   not  lawful  to 

5 eat  save  for  the  priests  alone?  And  he  said  unto 
them,  The  Son  of  man  is  lord  of  the  sabbath. 

6  And  it  came  to  pa.ss  on  another  sabbath,  that  he 
entered  into  the  synagogue  and  taught:  and  there 
was  a  man  there,  and  his  right  hand  was   withered. 

7  And  the  scribes  and  the  Phar'i-sees  watched  him, 
whether  he  would  heal   on  the  sabbath;   that  they 

8  might  find  how  to  accuse  him.  But  he  knew  their 
thoughts ;  and  he  said  to  the  man  that  had  his  hand 
withered.  Rise  up,  and  stand  forth  in   the  midst 

9  And  he  arose  and  stood  forth.  And  .Jesus  said  unto 
them,  I  ask  you,  Is  it  lawful  on  the  sabbath  to  do 
good,  or  to  do  harm?  to  save  a  life,  or  to  destroy 

10 it?  And  he  looked  round  about  on  them  all,  and 
said  unto  him,  Stretch  forth  thy  hand.     And  he  did 

11  so;  and  his  hand  was  restored.  But  they  were  filled 
with  ^madness;  and  communed  one  with  another 
what  they  might  do  to  Jesus. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass  in  these  days,  that  he  went 
out  into  the  mountain  to  pray;  and  he  continued 

13  all  night  in  prayer  to  God.  And  when  it  was  day, 
he    called    his  disciples:   and   he  chose   from   them 

14 twelve,  whom  also  he  named  apostles;  Si'mon,  whom 
he  also  named  Pe'ter,  and  An'drew  his  brother,  and 

15  James  and  John,  and  Phil'ip  and  Bar-thol'o-mew,  and 
Mat'thew  and  Thom'as,  and  James  <Aesonof Al-phae'us, 

16  and  Si'mon  which  was  called  the  Zealot,  and  Ju'das 
the^son  of  James,  and  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,  which  was  the 

17  traitor ;  and  he  came  down  with  them,  and  stood  on 
a  level  place,  and  a  great  multitude  of  his  disciples, 
and  a  great  number  of  the  people  from  all  Ju-dse'a 
and  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  the  sea  coast  of  Tyre  and  Si'don, 
which  came  to  hear  him,  and  to  be  healed  of  their 

18 diseases;  and  they  that  were  troubled  with  unclean 
19  spirits  were  healed.     And  all  the  multitude  sought 

to  touch   him:  for  power  came  forth  from  him,  and 

healed  them  all.

20  ^And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  on  his  disciples,  and  said, 
"Blessed  be  ye  poor :  for  yours  is  the  kingdom  of  God. 

21  "Blessed  are  ye  that  hunger  now :  for  ye  shall  be  filled. 
""Blessed  are  ye  that  weep  now :    for  ye  shall  laugh. 

22  «Blessed  are  ye,  when  men  shall  hate  you,  and  when  they 
""shall  separate  you  from  their  company,  and  shall  reproach 
you,  and  cast  out  your  name  as  evil,  for  the  Son  of  man's  sake. 

23  'Rejoice  ye  in  that  day,  and  leap  for  joy:  for,  behold, 
your  reward  is  great  in  heaven  :  for  'in  the  like  manner  did 
their  fathers  unto  the  prophets. 

24  "But  woe  unto  you  ""that  are  rich !  for  "ye  have  received 
your  consolation. 

25  'Woe  unto  you  that  are  full !  for  ye  shall  hunger.  "Woe 
unto  you  that  laugh  now !  for  ye  shall  mourn  and  weep. 

26  ^Woe  unto  you,  when  all  men  shall  speak  well  of  you  ! 
for  so  did  their  fathers  to  the  false  prophets. 

27  ^'But  I  say  unto  you  which  hear,  Love  your  enemies, 
do  good  to  them  which  hate  you, 


curse  you, 


and 


'pray 


for  them  which 


28  Bless  them  that 
despitefully  use  you. 

29  'And  unto  him  that  smiteth  thee  on  the  one  cheek  oifer 
also  the  other;  •'and  him  that  taketh  away  thy  cloak  forbid 
not  to  take  thy  coat  also. 

30  "Give  to  every  man  that  asketh  of  thee;  and  of  him  that 
taketh  away  thy  goods  ask  them  not  again. 

31  ''And  as  ye  would  that  men  should  do  to  you,  do  ye  also 
to  them  likewise. 

32  'For  if  ye  love  them  which  love  you,  what  thank  h?ve 


ye 


for  sinners  also  love  those  that  love  them 

33  And  if  ye  do  good  to  them  which  do  good  to  you,  what 
thank  have  ye?  for  sinners  also  do  even  the  same. 

34  *  And  if  ye  lend  to  them  of  whom  ye  hope  to  recelve,what 
thank  have  ye?  for  sinners  also  lend  to  sinners,  to  receive 
as  much  again. 

35  But  'love  ye  your  enemies,  and  do  good,  and  "lend, 
hoping  for  nothing  again ;  and  your  reward  shall  be  great, 
and  "ye  shall  be  the  children  oi  the  Highest:  for  he  is  kind 
unto  the  unthankful  and  to  the  evil. 

36  "Be  ye  therefore  merciful,  as  your  Father  also  is  merciful. 

37  "Judge  not,andye  shall  not  be  judged :  condemn  not,  and 
ye  shall  not  be  condemned:  forgive,  and  ye  shall  be  forgiven  : 

38  'Give,  and  it  shall  be  given  unto  you;  good  measure, 
pressed  down,  and  shaken  together,  and  running  over,  shall 
men  give  into  your  'bosom.  For  'with  the  same  measure 
that  ye  mete  withal  it  shall  be  measured  to  you  again. 

39  And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them ;  'Can  the  blind  lead 
the  blind?  shall  they  not  both  fall  into  the  ditch? 

40  "The  disciple  is  not  above  his  master :  but  every  one 
II  that  is  perfect  shall  be  as  his  master. 

41  ^And  why  beholdest  thou  the  mote  that  is  in  thy  brother's 
eye,  but  perceivest  not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own  eye? 

42  Either  how  canst  thou  say  to  thy  brother.  Brother,  let  me 
pull  out  the  mote  that  is  in  thine  eye,  when  thou  thyself  behold- 
est not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own  eye  ?  Thou  hypocrite, 
"cast  out  first  the  beam  out  of  thine  own  eye,  and  then  shalt 
thou  see  clearly  to  pull  out  the  mote  that  is  in  thy  brother's  eye. 

43  'For  a  good  tree  bringeth  not  forth  corrupt  fruit ;  neither 
doth  a  corrupt  tree  bring  forth  good  fruit. 

44  For  "every  tree  is  known  by  his  own  fruit.  For  of  thorns 
men  do  not  gather  figs,  nor  of  a  bramble  bush  gather  they 
tgrapes. 

45  ''A  good  man  out  of  the  good  treasure  of  his  heart 
bringeth  forth  that  which  is  good ;  and  an  evil  man  out  of  the 
evil  trea.sure  of  his  heart  bringeth  forth  that  which  is  evil : 
for  "of  the  abundance  of  the  heart  his  mouth  speaketh. 

46  ^''And  why  call  ye  me  Lord,  Lord,  and  do  not  the 
things  which  I  say? 

47  'Whosoever  cometh  to  me,  and  heareth  my  sayings,  and 
doeth  them,  I  will  shew  you  to  whom  he  is  like. 


20  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  on  his  disciples,  and  said, 
Blessed  are  ye  poor :  for  yours  is  the  kingdom  of  God 

21  Blessed  are  ye  that  hunger  now:  for  ye  shall  be  filled 
Blessed  are  ye  that  weep  now:   for  ye  shall  laugh 

22  Blessed  are  ye,  when  men  shall  hate  you,  and  when 
they  shall  separate  you  from  their  company,  and  re 
proach  you,  and  cast  out  your  name  as  evil,  for  the 

23  Son  of  man's  sake.  Rejoice  in  that  day,  and  leap/or 
joy:  forbehold,  your  reward  is  great  in  heaven:  for  in 
the  same  manner  did  their  fathers  unto  the  prophets. 

24  But  woe  unto  you  that  are  rich !  for  ye  have  received 

25  your  consolation.  Woe  unto  you,  ye  that  are  full 
now !    for  ye  shall  hunger.     Woe  unto  you,  ye  that 

26  laugh  now !  for  ye  shall  mourn  and  weep.  Woe  unto 
you  when  all  men  shall  speak  well  of  you !  for  in  the 
same  manner  did  their  fathers  to  the  false  prophets. 

27  But  I  say  unto  you  which  hear.  Love  your  enemies, 

28  do  good  to  them  that  hate  you,  bless  them  that  curse 

29  you,  pray  for  them  that  despitefully  use  you.  To 
him  that  smiteth  thee  on  the  one  cheek  offer  also 
the  other;  and  from  him  that  taketh  away  thy  cloke 

30  withhold  not  thy  coat  also.  Give  to  every  one  that 
asketh  thee;  and  of  him  that  taketh  away  thy  goods 

31  ask  them  not  again.     And  as  ye  would  that  men 

32  should  do  to  you,  do  ye  also  to  them  likewi.se.  And 
if  ye  love  them  that  love  you,  what  thank  have  ye? 

33  for  even  sinners  love  those  that  love  them.  And  if 
ye    do    good    to    them   that  do  good  to  you,  what 

34 thank  have  ye?  for  even  sinners  do  the  same.  And 
if  ye  lend  to  them  of  whom  ye  hope  to  receive,  what 
thank    have    ye?    even    sinners  lend  to  sinners,  to 

35  receive  again  as  much.  But  love  your  enemies,  and 
do  them  good,  and  lend,  'never  despairing;  and  your 
reward  shall  be  great,  and  ye  shall  be  sons  of  the 
Most  High :   for  he  is  kind  toward  the  unthankful 

36  and  evil.     Be  ye   merciful,  even  as  your  Father  is 

37  merciful.  And  judje  not,  and  ye  shall  not  be 
judged :  and  condemn  not,  and  ye  shall  not  be  con- 

38demned:  release,  and  ye  shall  be  released:  give, 
and  it  shall  be  given  unto  you;  good  measure, 
pres.sed  down,  shaken  together,  running  over,  shall 
they  give  into  your  bosom.  For  with  what  meas- 
ure ye  mete  it  shall  be  measured  to  you  again. 

39  And  he  spake  also  a  parable  unto  them.  Can  the 
blind  guide  the  blind  ?  shall  they  not  both  fall  into 

40a  pit?  The  disciple  is  not  above  his  ^master:  but 
every  one   when    he    is   perfected    shall    be   as  his 

41  ^master.  And  why  beholdest  thou  the  mote  that  is 
in  thy  brother's  eye,  but  considerest  not  the  beam 

42 that  is  in  thine  own  eye?  Or,  how  canst  thou  say 
to  thy  brother.  Brother,  let  me  cast  out  the  mote 
that  is  in  thine  eye,  when  thou  thyself  beholdest  not 
the  beam  that  is  in  thine  own  eye?  Thou  hypo- 
crite, cast  out  first  the  beam  out  of  thine  own  eye, 
and  then  shalt  thou  see  clearly  to  cast  out  the  mote 

43  that  is  in  thy  brother's  eye.  For  there  is  no  good 
tree  that  bringeth  forth  corrupt  fruit ;   nor  again  a 

44  corrupt  tree  that  bringeth  forth  good  fruit.  For 
each  tree  is  known  by  its  own  fruit.  For  of  thorns 
men    do    not    gather  figi5,  nor  of  a    bramble  bush 

45  gather  they  grapes.  The  good  man  out  of  the  good 
treasure  of  his  heart  bringeth  forth  that  which  is 
good ;  and  the  evil  man  out  of  the  evil  treasure 
bringeth  forth  that  which  is  evil :  for  out  of  the 
abundance  of  the  heart  his  mouth  speaketh. 

46  And   why  call    ye   me.  Lord,  Lord,  and  do  not 
47 the   things    which    I   say?     Every   one    that   com- 
eth  unto    me,   and    heareth    my    words,    and    do- 
eth  them   I   will   shew   you  to  whom   he  is  like:

48  He  is  like  a  man  which  built  a  house,  and  digged  deep, 
and  laid  the  foundation  on  a  rock:  and  when  the  flood  arose, 
the  stream  beat  vehemently  upon  that  house,  and  could  not 
shake  it ;  for  it  was  founded  upon  a  rock. 

49  But  he  that  heareth,  and  doeth  not,  is  like  a  man  that 
without  a  foundation  built  a  house  upon  the  earth ;  against 
which  the  stream  did  beat  vehemently,  and  immediately  it 
fell;  and  the  ruin  of  that  house  was  great. 

CHAFTER  VII. 

The  centu7-ioiC X  faith — The  widow^s  son  raised, 

"VTOW  when  he  had  ended  all  his  sayings  in  the  audience 
-1-^    of  the  people,  "he  entered  into  Ca-per'na-um. 

2  And  a  certain  centurion's  servant,  who  was  dear  unto 
him,  was  sick,  and  ready  to  die. 

3  And  when  he  heard  of  Jesus,  he  sent  unto  him  the  elders 
of  the  Jews,  beseeching  him  that  he  would  come  and  heal 
his  servant. 

4  And  when  they  came  to  Jesus,  they  besought  him  instantly, 
saying.  That  he  was  worthy  for  whom  he  should  do  this:. 

5  For  he  loveth  our  nation ,  and  he  hath  built  us  a  synagogue. 

6  Then  Jesus  went  with  them.  And  when  he  was  now 
not  far  from  the  house,  the  centurion  sent  friends  to  him, 
saying  unto  him,  J^ord,  trouble  not  thyself:  for  I  am  not 
worthy  that  thou  shouldest  enter  under  my  roof: 

7  AVherefore  neither  thought  I  myself  worthy  to  come 
unto  thee :  but  say  in  a  word,  and  my  servant  shall  be  healed. 

8  For  I  also  am  a  man  set  under  authority,  having  under 
me  soldiers,  and  I  say  unto  fone,  Go,  and  he  goeth ;  and  to 
another.  Come,  and  he  cometh ;  and  to  my  servant.  Do  this, 
and  he  doeth  it. 

9  When  Jesus  heard  these  things,  he  marvelled  at  him,  and 
turned  him  about,  and  said  unto  the  people  that  followed  him, 
I  say  unto  you,  I  have  not  found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in  Is'ra-el. 

10  And  they  that  were  sent,  returning  to  the  house  found 
the  servant  whole  that  lad  been  sick. 

11  \And  it  came  to  pass  t.'ie  day  after,  that  he  went  into  a 
city  called  Na'in :  and  many  of  his  disciples  went  with  him, 
and  much  people. 

12  Now  when  he  came  nigh  to  tko  gfite  of  the  city,  behold, 
there  was  a  dead  man  carried  out,  the  only  son  of  his  mother, 
and  she  was  a  widow :  and  much  people  of  the  city  was  with  her. 

13  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her,  he  had  compassion  on  her, 
and  said  unto  her,  Weep  not. 

14  And  he  came  and  touched  the  ||bier:  and  they  that 
bare  him  stood  still.  And  he  said.  Young  man,  I  say  unto 
thee,  'Arise. 

15  And  he  that  was  dead  sat  up,  and  began  to  speak.  And 
he  delivered  him  to  his  mother. 

16  'And  there  came  a  fear  on  all :  and  they  glorified  God, 
saying,  ''That  a  great  prophet  is  risen  up  among  us;  and, 
'That  God  hath  visited  his  people. 

17  And  this  rumor  of  him  went  forth  throughout  all 
Ju-de'a,  and  throughout  all  the  region  round  about. 

18  -^And  the  disciples  of  John  shewed  him  of  all  these  things. 

19  ^And  John,  calling  mito  him  two  of  his  disciples,  sent 
them  to  Jesus,  saying,  Art  thou  he  that  should  come?  or 
look  we  for  another? 

20  When  the  men  were  come  unto  him,  they  said,  John 
BaptLst  hath  sent  us  unto  thee,  .saying.  Art  thou  he  that 
should  come?  or  look  we  for  another? 

21  And  in  that  same  hour  he  cured  many  oi  their  infirmi- 
ties and  plagues,  and  of  evil  spirits;  and  unto  many  that 
were  blind  he  gave  sight. 

22  "Then  Jesus  answering  said  unto  them.  Go  your  way, 
and  tell  John  what  things  ye  have  seen  and  heard ;  ''how 
that  the  blind  see,  the  lame  walk,  the  lepers  are  cleansed, 
the  deaf  hear,  the  dead  are  raised,  'to  the  poor  the  gospel  is 
preached. 

23  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever  shall  not  be  offended  in  me. 


48  he  is  like  a  man  building  a  house,  who  digged 
and  went  deep,  and  laid  a  foundation  upon  the  rock : 
and  when  a  flood  arose,  the  stream  brake  against 
that  house,  and  could  not  shake  it :  'because  it  had 

49  been  well  builded.  But  he  that  heareth,  and  doeth 
not,  is  like  a  man  that  built  a  hou.se  upon  the  earth 
without  a  foundation ;  against  which  the  stream 
brake,  and  straightway  it  fell  in;  and  the  ruin  of 
that  house  was  great. 

/      After  he  had  ended  all  his  sayings  in  the  ears  of 

the  people,  he  entered  into  Ca-per'na-um. 

2     And  a  certain  centurion's  ^servant,  Avho  was  'dear 

3 unto  him,  was  sick  and  at  the  point  of  death.     And 

when  he  heard  concerning  Jesus,  he  sent  unto  him 

elders  of  the  Jews,  asking  him  that  he  would  come 

4  and  save  his  ^servant.  And  they,  when  they  came 
to   Jesus,    besought   him    earnestly,   saying.    He   is 

5  worthy  that  thou  shouldest  do  this  for  him :  for  he 
loveth   our  nation,  and  himself  built  us  our  syna- 

6  gogue.  And  Jesus  went  with  them.  And  when  he 
was  now  not  far  from  the  house,  the  centurion  sent 
friends  to  him,  saying  unto  him.  Lord,  trouble  not 
thyself:   for  I   am  not  ^worthy  that  thou  shouldest 

7  come  under  my  roof:  wherefore  neither  thought  I 
myself  worthy  to  come  unto  thee :  but  'say  the  word. 

Sand  my  'servant  shall  be  healed.  For  I  also  am  a 
man  set  under  authority,  having  under  myself 
soldiers:  and  I  say  to  this  one.  Go,  and  he  goeth; 
and  to  another,  Come,  and  he  cometh ;  and  to  my 

9  ^servant.  Do  this,  and  he  doeth  it.  And  when  Jesus 
heard  these  things,  he  marvelled  at  him,  and  turned 
and  said  unto  the  multitude  that  followed  him,  I  say 
unto  you,  I  have  not  found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in 

10  Is'ra-el.  And  they  that  were  sent,  returning  to  the 
house,  found  the  ^servant  whole. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  ^soon  afterwards,  that  he  went 
to  a  city  called  Na'in;  and  his  disciples  went  with 

12  him,  and  a  great  multitude.  Now  when  he  drew 
near  to  the  gate  of  the  city,  behold,  there  was 
carried  out  one  that  was  dead,  the  only  son  of  his 
mother,  and  she  was  a  widow :  and  much  people  of 

13  the  city  was  with  her.  And  when  the  Lord  saw 
her,  he  had  compassion  on  her,  and  said  unto  her, 

14  Weep  not.  And  he  came  nigh  and  touched  the 
bier:  and  the  bearers   stood  still.      And   he  said, 

15  Young  man,  I  say  unto  thee.  Arise.  And  he  that 
was  dead  sat  up,  and  began  to  speak.     And  he  gave 

16  him  to  his  mother.  And  fear  took  hold  on  all :  and 
they  glorified  God,  saying,  A  great  prophet  is  arisen 

17 among  us:  and,  God  hath  visited  his  people.  And 
this  report  went  forth  concerning  him  in  the  whole 
of  Ju-dse'a,  and  all  the  region  round  about. 

18  And  the  disciples  of  John  told  him  of  all  these 

19  things.  And  John  calling  unto  him  'two  of  his 
disciples  sent  them  to  the  Lord,  saying.  Art  thou 

20 he  that  cometh,  or  look  we  for  another?  And 
when  the  men  were  come  unto  him  they  said,  John 
the  BaptifBt  hath  sent  us  unto  thee,  saying.  Art  thou 

21  he  that  cometh,  or  look  we  for  another?  In  that 
hour  he  cured  many  of  diseases  and  'plagues  and  evil 
spirits;  and  on  many  that  were  blind  he  bestowed 

22  sight.  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them.  Go 
your  way,  and  tell  John  what  things  ye  have  seen 
and  heard;  the  blind  receive  their  sight,  the  lame 
walk,  the  lepers  are  cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear,  the 
dead  are  raised  up,  the  poor   have  '"good  tidings 

23  preached  to  them.  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever 
shall  find  none  occasion  of  stumbling  in  me.

24  •[[*And  wnen  tne  messengers  of  John  were  departed, 
he  began  to  speak  unto  the  people  concerning  John,  What 
went  ye  out  into  the  wilderness  for  to  see  ?  A  reed  shaken 
Avith  the  wind? 

25  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see?  A  man  clothed  in 
soft  raiment?  Behold,  they  which  are  gorgeously  appar- 
elled, and  live  delicately,  are  in  kings'  courts. 

26  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see  ?  A  prophet  ?  Yea, 
I  say  unto  you,  and  much  more  than  a  prophet. 

27  This  is  he,  of  whom  it  is  written,  'Behold,  I  send  my 
messenger  before  thy  face,  which  shall  prepare  thy  way  be- 
fore thee. 

28  For  I  say  unto  you.  Among  those  that  are  born  of  wo- 
men there  is  not  a  greater  prophet  than  John  the  Baptist: 
but  he  that  is  least  in  the  kingdom  of  God  is  greater  than  he. 

29  And  all  the  people  that  heard  him,  and  the  publicans, 
justified  God,  '"being  baptized  with  the  baptism  of  John. 

30  But  the  Phar'i-sees  and  lawyers  ||  rejected  "the  counsel 
of  God  11  against  themselves,  being  not  baptized  of  him. 

31  ^And  the  Lord  said,  "Whereuuto  then  shall  I  liken 
the  men  of  this  generation?  and  to  what  are  they  like? 

32  They  are  like  unto  children  sitting  in  the  marketplace, 
and  calling  one  to  another,  and  saying.  We  have  piped  unto 
you,  and  ye  have  not  danced;  we  have  mourned  to  you, 
and  ye  have  not  wept. 

33  For  ''John  the  Baptist  came  neither  eating  bread,  nor 
drinking  wine;  and  ye  say.  He  hath  a  devil. 

34  The  Son  of  man  is  come  eating  and  drinking  ;  and  ye 
say,  Behold  a  gluttonous  man,  and  a  winebibber,  a  friend 
of  publicans  and  sinners! 

35  'But  wisdom  is  justified  of  all  her  children. 

36  ^'And  one  of  the  Phar'i-sees  desired  him  that  he  would 
eat  with  him.  And  he  went  into  the  Phar'i-see's  house,  and 
sat  down  to  meat. 

37  And,  behold,  a  woman  in  the  city,  which  was  a  sinner, 
when  she  knew  that  Jesus  sat  at  meat  in  the  Phar'i-see's 
house,  brought  an  alabaster  box  of  ointment, 

38  And  stood  at  his  feet  behind  him  weeping,  and  began  to 
wash  his  feet  with  tears,  and  did  wipe  them  with  the  hairs  of  her 
head,  and  kissed  his  feet,  and  anointed  them  with  the  ointment. 

39  Now  when  the  Phar'i-see  which  had  bidden  him  saw  it, 
he  spake  within  himself,  saying,  'This  man,  if  he  were  a 
prophet,  Avould  have  known  who  and  what  manner  of  wo- 
man this  is  that  toucheth  him ;  for  she  is  a  sinner. 

40  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  him,  Si'mon,  I  have 
somewhat  to  say  unto  thee.     And  he  saith.  Master,  say  on. 

41  There  was  a  certain  creditor  which  had  two  debtors: 
the  one  owed  five  hundred  jj  pence,  and  the  other  fifty. 

42  And  when  they  had  nothing  to  pay,  he  frankly  forgave 
them  both.  Tell  me  therefore,  which  of  them  will  love  him 
most? 

43  Si'mon  answered  and  said,  I  suppose  that  he,  to  whom  he 
forgave  most.  And  he  said  unto  him,Thou  hast  rightly  judged. 

44  And  he  turned  to  the  woman,  and  said  unto  Si'mon, 
Seest  thou  this  wgman?  I  entered  into  thine  house,  thou 
gavest  me  no  water  for  my  feet:  but  she  hath  washed  my 
feet  with  tears,  and  wiped  them  with  the  hairs  of  her  head. 

45  Thou  gavest  me  no  kiss :  but  this  woman,  since  the 
time  I  came  in,  hath  not  ceased  to  kiss  my  feet 

4.6  'Mine  head  with  oil  thou  didst  not  anoint:  but  this 
woman  hath  anointed  my  feet  with  ointment. 

47  "Wherefore  I  say  unto  thee,'  Her  sins,  which  are  many, 
are  forgiven ;  for  she  loved  much  :  but  to  whom  little  is  for- 
given, the  same  loveth  little. 

48  And  he  said  unto  her,  'Thy  sins  are  forgiven. 

49  And  they  that  sat  at  meat  with  him  began  to  say  within 
themselves,  "Who  is  this  that  forgiveth  sins  also? 

50  And  he  said  to  the  woman,  'Thy  faith  hath  saved  thee ; 
go  in  peace. 


24  And  when  the  messengers  of  John  were  departed, 
he  began  to  say  unto  the  multitudes  concerning 
John,  What    went    ye   out  into  the  wilderness  to 

25 behold?  a  reed  shaken  with  the  wind?  But  what 
went  ye  out  to  see?  a  man  clothed  in  soft  raiment? 
Behold,  they  which   are  gorgeously  apparelled,  and 

26  live  delicately,  are  in  kings'  courts.  But  what  went 
ye  out  to  see  ?  a  prophet  ?     Yea,  I  say  unto  you,  and 

27  much  more  than  a  prophet.  This  is  he  of  whom  it 
is  written. 

Behold,  I  send  my  messenger  before  thy  face, 
Who  shall  prepare  thy  way  before  thee. 

28  I  say  unto  you.  Among  them  that  are  born  of  women 
there  is  none  greater  than  John  :  yet  he  that  is  'but 
little  in   the   kingdom  of  God  is  greater  than   he. 

29  And  all  the  people  when  they  heard,  and  the  pub- 
licans, justified  God,  ^being  baptized  with  the  bap- 

30tism  of  John.  But  the  Phar'i-sees  and  the  lawyers 
rejected  for  themselves  the  counsel  of  God,  'being 

31  not  baptized  of  him.  Whereunto  then  shall  I  liken 
the  men  of  this  generation,  and   to  what  are  they 

32  like?  They  are  like  unto  children  that  sit  in  the 
marketplace,  and  call  one  to  another;  which  say 
We   piped   unto  you,  and   ye   did   not   dance ;    we 

33  wailed,  and  ye  did  not  weep.     For  John  the  Bap 
tist  is  come  eating  no  bread  nor  drinking  wine ;  and 

34  ye  say.  He  hath  a  *devil.  The  Son  of  man  is  come 
eating  and  drinking ;  and  ye  say,  Behold,  a  glut- 
tonous man,  and  a  winebibber,  a  friend  of  publicans 

35and  sinners!  And  wisdom  ^is  justified  of  all  her 
children. 

36  And  one  of  the  Phar'i-sees  desired  him  that  he 
would  eat   with   him.     And    he    entered    into    the 

37  Phar'i-see's  house,  and  sat  down  to  meat.  And  be- 
hold, a  woman  which  was  in  the  city,  a  sinner;  and 
when  she  knew  that  he  was  sitting  at  meat  in  the 
Phar'i-see's  house,  she  brought  "an  alabaster  cruse  of 

38  ointment,  and  standing  behind  at  his  feet,  weeping, 
she  began  to  wet  his  feet  with  her  tears,  and  wiped 
them  with  the  hair  of  her  head,  and  "kissed  his  feet, 

39  and  anointed  them  with  the  ointment.  Now  when 
the  Phar'i-see  which  had  bidden  him  saw  it,  he 
.spake  within  himself,  saying,  This  man,  if  he  were  *a 
j^rophet,  would  have  perceived  who  and  what  man- 
ner of  woman  this  is  which  toucheth  him,  that  she  is  a 

40  sinner.  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  him,  Si'mon, 
I  have  somewhat  to  say  unto  thee.     And  he  saith, 

41 'Master,  say  on.  A  certain  lender  had  two  debtors: 
the  one  owed  five  hundred  '"pence,  and  the  other 

42  fifty.  When  they  had  not  wherewith  to  pay,  he  for- 
gave them  both.     Which  of  them  therefore  will  love 

43  him  most?  Si'mon  answered  and  said.  He,  I  sup- 
pose, to  whom  he  forgave  the   most.     And   he  said 

44  unto  him,  Thou  hast  rightly  judged.  And  turning 
to  the  woman,  he  said  unto  Si'mon,  Seest  thou  this 
woman?  I  entered  into  thine  house,  thou  gavest 
me  no  water  for  my  feet :  but  she  hath  wetted  my 
feet  with  her  tears,  and  wiped  them  with  her  hair. 

45 Thou  gavest  me  no  kiss:  but  she,  since  the  time  I 

46  came  in,  hath  not  ceased  to  "kiss  my  feet.  My  head 
with  oil  thou  didst  not  anoint:  but  she  hath  anointed 

47  my  feet  with  ointment.  Wherefore  I  say  unto  thee. 
Her  sins,  which  are  many,  are  forgiven ;  for  she  loved 
much :  but  to  whom  little  is  forgiven,  the  same  loveth 

48  little.     And  he  said  unto  her.  Thy  sins  are  forgiven. 

49  And  they  that  sat  at  meat  with  him  began  to  say 
"'within  themselves.  Who  is  this  that  even  forgiveth 

50 sins?  And  he  said  unto  the  woman,  Thy  faith  hath 
saved  thee;  go  in  peace.

CHAPTER  VIII. 

TTu  parabU  of  the  sower,  and  of  the  candle — Devils  cast  out,  &c. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  afterward,  that  he  Avent  throughout 
every  city  and  village,  preaching  and  shewing  the  glad 
tidings  of  the  kingdom  of  God  :  and  the  twelve  were  with  him, 

2  And  "certain  women,  which  had  been  healed  of  evil 
spirits  and  infirmities,  Ma'ry  called  Mag-da-le'ne,  ''out  of 
whom  went  seven  devils, 

3  And  Jo-an'na  the  wife  of  Chu'za  He'rod's  steward,  and 
Su-san'na,  and  many  others,  which  ministered  unto  him  of 
their  substance. 

4  ^°And  when  much  people  were  gathered  together,  and 
were  come  to  him  out  of  every  city,  he  spake  by  a  parable : 

5  A  sower  went  out  to  sow  his  seed :  and  as  he  sowed, 
some  fell  by  the  way  side ;  and  it  was  trodden  down,  and 
the  fowls  of  the  air  devoured  it. 

6  And  some  fell  upon  a  rock ;  and  as  soon  as  it  was  sprung 
up,  it  withered  away,  because  it  lacked  moisture. 

7  And  some  fell  among  thorns ;  and  the  thorns  sprang  up 
with  it,  and  choked  it. 

8  And  other  fell  on  good  ground,  and  sprang  up,  and  bare 
fruit  a  hundredfold.  And  when  he  had  said  these  things, 
he  cried,  He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hoar. 

9  ''And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying,  What  might  this 
parable  be? 

10  And  he  said.  Unto  you  it  is  given  to  know  the  mysteries 
of  the  kingdom  of  God :  but  to  others  in  parables;  'that  see- 
ing they  might  not  see,  and  hearing  they  might  not  understand. 

1 1  -^Xow  the  parable  is  this :  The  seed  is  the  word  of  God. 

12  Those  by  the  way  side,  are  they  that  hear;  then  com- 
eth  the  devil,  and  taketh  away  the  word  out  of  their  hearts, 
lest  they  should  believe  and  be  saved. 

13  They  on  the  rock  are  they,  which,  when  they  hear, 
receive  the  word  with  joy ;  and  these  have  no  root,  which 
for  a  while  believe,  and  in  time  of  temptation  fall  away. 

14  And  that  which  fell  among  thorns  are  they,  which, 
when  they  have  heard,  go  forth,  and  are  choked  with  cares 
and  riches  and  pleasures  of  this  life,  and  bring  no  fruit  to 
perfection. 

16  But  that  on  the  good  ground  are  they,  which  in  an 
honest  and  good  heart,  having  heard  the  word,  keep  it,  and 
bring  forth  fruit  with  patience. 

16  ^"No  man,  when  he  hath  lighted  a  candle,  covereth  it 
with  a  vessel,  or  putteth  it  under  a  bed ;  but  setteth  it  on 
a  candlestick,  that  they  which  enter  in  may  see  the  light. 

17  'For  nothing  is  secret,  that  shall  not  be  made  manifest; 
neither  any  thing  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known,  and  come 
abroad. 

18  Take  heed  therefore  how  ye  hear;  *for  whosoever  hath, 
to  him  shall  be  given ;  and  whosoever  hath  not,  from  him 
shall  be  taken  even  that  which  he  ||seemeth  to  have. 

19  ^'Then  came  to  him  his  mother  and  his  brethren,  and 
could  not  come  at  him  for  the  press. 

20  And  it  was  told  him  by  certain  which  said,  Thy  mother 
and  thy  brethren  stand  without,  desiring  to  see  thee. 

21  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them.  My  mother  and 
my  brethren  are  these  which  hear  the  word  of  God,  and 
do  it. 

22  ^'Now  it  came  to  pass  on  a  certain  day,  that  he  went 
into  a  ship  with  his  disciples ;  and  he  said  unto  them.  Let 
us  go  over  unto  the  other  side  of  the  lake.  And  they 
launched  forth. 

23  But  as  they  sailed  he  fell  asleep:  and  there  came  down 
a  .storm  of  wind  on  the  lake ;  and  they  were  filled  with  water, 
and  were  in  jeopardy. 

24  And  they  came  to  him,  and  awoke  him,  saying,  Ma.ster, 
Master,  we  perish.  Then  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the  wind  and 
the  raging  of  the  water :  and  they  ceased,  and  there  was  a  calm. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them.  Where  is  your  faith?     And 


O  And  it  came  to  pass  soon  afterwards,  that  he  went 
about  through  cities  and  villages,  preaching  and 
bringing  the  'good  tidings  of  the  kingdom  of  God, 

2  and  with  him  the  twelve,  and  certain  women  which 
had  been  healed  of  evil  spirits  and  infirmities,  Ma'ry 
that  was  called  Mag-da-le'ne,  from  whom  seven  devils 

3  had  gone  out,  and  Jo-an'na  the  wife  of  Chu'za  Her'od's 
steward,  and  Su-san'na,  and  many  others,  which 
ministered  unto  'them  of  their  substance. 

4  And  when  a  great  multitude  came  together,  and 
they  of  every  city  resorted  unto  him,  he  spake  by  a 

5  parable :  The  sower  went  forth  to  sow  his  seed :  and 
as  he  sowed,  some  fell  by  the  way  side;  and  it  was 
trodden  under  foot,  and  the  birds  of  the  heaven  de- 

6  voured  it.  And  other  fell  on  the  rock ,  and  as  soon 
as  it  grew,  n  withered  away,  because  it  had  no  moist- 

7  ure.     And  other  fell  amidst  the  thorns;    and   the 

8  thorns  grew  with  it,  and  choked  it.  And  other  fell 
into  the  good  ground,  and  grew  and  brought  forth 
fruit  a  hundredfold.  And  as  he  .said  these  things,  he 
cried.  He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

9  And  his  disciples  asked  him  what  this  parable 
10  might  be.     And  he  said.  Unto  you  it  is  given  to 

know  the  mysteries  of  the   kingdom  of  God :   but 

to   the  rest  in  parables;  that  seeing  they  may  not 

Usee,  and  hearing  they  may  not  understand.     Now 

the  parable  is  this :    The  seed  is  the  word  of  God. 

12  And  those  by  the  way  side  are  they  that  have  heard ; 
then  cometh  the  devil,  and  taketh  away  the  word 
from  their  heart,  that  they  may  not  believe  and  be 

13  saved.  And  those  on  the  rock  are  they  which, 
when  they  have  heard,  receive  the  word  with  joy; 
and  these  have  no  root,  which  for  a  while  believe, 

14  and  in  time  of  temptation  fall  away.  And  that 
which  fell  among  the  thorns,  these  are  they  that 
have  heard,  and  as  they  go  on  their  way  they  are 
choked  with  cares  and  riches  and  pleasures  of  this 

15  life,  and  bring  no  fruit  to  perfection.  And  that  in 
the  good  ground,  these  are  such  as  in  an  honest 
and  good  heart,  having  heard  the  word,  hold  it 
fast,  and  bring  forth  fruit  with  patience. 

16  And  no  man,  when  he  hath  lighted  a  lamp,  cov- 
ereth it  with  a  vessel,  or  putteth  it  under  a  bed;  but 
putteth  it  on  a  stand,  that  they  which  enter  in  may 

I7see  the  light.  For  nothing  is  hid,  that  shall  not  be 
made  manifest;  nor  anything  secret,  that  shall  not 

18  be  known  and  come  to  light.  Take  heed  therefore 
how  ye  hear :  for  whosoever  hath,  to  him  shall  be 
given ;  and  whosoever  hath  not,  from  him  shall  be 
taken  away  even   that  which  he  Hhinketh  he  hath. 

19  And  there  came  to  him  his  mother  and  brethren, 
and  they  could  not  come  at  him  for  the   crowd. 

20  And  it  was  told  him.  Thy  mother  and  thy  brethren 

21  stand  without,  desiring  to  see  thee.  But  he  an- 
swered and  said  unto  them.  My  mother  and  my 
brethren  are  these  which  hear  the  word  of  God, 
and  do  it. 

22  Now  it  came  to  pass  on  one  of  those  days,  that  he 
entered  into  a  boat,  himself  and  his  disciples;  and  he 
said  unto  them,  Let  us  go  over  unto  the  other  side 

23 of  the  lake:  and  they  launched  forth.  But  as  they 
sailed  he  fell  asleep:  and  there  came  down  a  storm 
of  wind  on  the  lake ;  and  they  were  filling  with  water, 

24  and  were  in  jeopardy.  And  they  came  to  him,  and 
awoke  him,  saying.  Master,  master,  we  perish.  And 
he  awoke,  and  rebuked  the  wind  and  the  raging  of 
the  water :  and  they  ceased,  and  there  was  a  calm. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them.  Where  is  your  faith?  And

they  being  afraid  wondered,  saying  one  to  another,  What 
manner  of  man  is  this !  for  he  commandeth  even  the  winds 
and  water,  and  they  obey  him. 

26  ^'"Aud  they  arrived  at  the  country  of  the  Gad'a-renes, 
which  is  over  against  Gal'i-lee. 

27  And  when  he  went  forth  to  land,  there  met  him  out  of 
the  city  a  certain  man,  which  had  devils  long  time,  and  ware 
no  clothes,  neither  abode  in  any  house,  but  in  the  tombs. 

28  When  he  saw  Jesus,  he  cried  out,  and  fell  down  before 
him,  and  with  a  loud  voice  said,  What  have  I  to  do  with 
thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  God  most  high?  I  beseech  thee, 
torment  me  not. 

29  (For  he  had  commanded  the  unclean  spirit  to  come  out 
of  the  man.  For  oftentimes  it  had  caught  him :  and  he  was 
kept  bound  with  chains,  and  in  fetters;  and  he  brake  the 
bands,  and  was  driven  of  the  devil  into  the  wilderness.) 

30  And  Jesus  asked  him,  saying,  What  is  thy  name  ?  And 
he  said.  Legion :  becau.se  many  devils  were  entered  into  him. 

31  And  they  besought  him  that  he  would  not  command 
them  to  go  out  "into  the  deep. 

32  And  there  was  there  a  herd  of  many  swine  feeding  on 
the  mountain :  and  they  besought  him  that  he  would  suffer 
them  to  enter  into  them.     And  he  suffered  them. 

33  Then  went  the  devils  out  of  the  man,  and  entered  into 
the  swine :  and  the  herd  ran  violently  down  a  steep  place 
into  the  lake,  and  were  choked. 

34  When  they  that  fed  them  saw  what  was  done,  they  fled, 
and  went  and  told  it  in  the  city  and  in  the  country. 

35  Then  they  went  out  to  see  what  was  done;  and  came 
to  Jesus,  and  found  the  man  out  of  whom  the  devils  were 
departed,  sitting  at  the  feet  of  Jesus,  clothed,  and  in  his 
right  mind :  and  they  were  afraid. 

3(3  They  also  that  saw  it  told  them  by  what  means  he  that 
was  possessed  of  the  devils  was  healed. 

37  ^°Then  the  whole  multitude  of  the  country  of  the 
Gad'a-renes  round  about,  "besought  him  to  depart  from 
them ;  for  they  were  taken  with  great  fear :  and  he  went 
up  into  the  ship,  and  returned  back  again. 

38  Now  'the  man,  out  of  whom  the  devils  were  departed, 
besought  him  that  he  might  be  with  him :  but  Jesus  sent 
him  away,  saying, 

39  Return  to  thine  own  house,  and  shew  how  great  things 
God  hath  done  unto  thee.  And  he  went  his  way,  and  pub- 
lished throughout  the  whole  city  how  great  things  Jesus 
had  done  unto  him. 

40  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  that,  when  Jesus  was  returned,  the 
people  gladly  received  him  :  for  they  were  all  waiting  for  him. 

41  51"^ And,  behold,  there  came  a  man  named  Ja-i'rus,  and  he 
was  a  ruler  of  the  synagogue ;  and  he  fell  down  at  Jesus' 
feet,  and  besought  him  that  he  would  come  into  his  hou-se: 

42  For  he  had  one  only  daughter,  about  twelve  years  of  age, 
and  she  lay  a  dying.    But  as  he  went  the  people  thronged  him. 

43  ^'And  a  woman  having  an  issue  of  blood  twelve  years, 
which  had  spent  all  her  living  upon  physicians,  neither  could 
be  healed  of  any, 

44  Came  behind  him  and  touched  the  border  of  his  gar- 
ment: and  immediately  her  i.ssue  of  blood  stanched. 

45  And  Jesus  said.  Who  touched  me?  When  all  denied, 
Pe'ter,  and  they  that  were  with  him,  said.  Master,  the  mul- 
titude throng  thee  and  press  thee,  and  sayest  thou,  Who 
touched  me? 

46  And  Jesus  said,  Somebody  hath  touched  me :  for  I  per- 
ceive that  'virtue  is  gone  out  of  me. 

47  And  when  the  woman  saw  that  she  was  not  hid,  she 
came  trembling,  and  falling  down  before  him,  she  declared 
unto  him  before  all  the  people  for  what  cause  she  had 
touched  him,  and  how  .she  was  healed  immediately. 

48  And  he  said  unto  her.  Daughter,  be  of  good  comfort: 
thy  faith  hath  made  thee  whole ;  go  in  peace. 


being  afraid  they  marvelled,  saying  one  to  another, 
Who  then  is  this,  that  he  commandeth  even  the 
winds  and  the  water,  and  they  obey  him? 

26  And  they  arrived  at  the  country  of  the  'Ger'a-senes, 

27  which  is  over  against  Gal'i-lee.  And  when  he  was 
come  forth  upon  the  land,  there  met  him  a  certain 
man  out  of  the  city,  who  had  Mevils ;  and  for  a  long 
time  he  had  worn  no  clothes,  and  abode  not  in  any 

28  house,  but  in  the  tombs.  And  when  he  saw  Jesus, 
he  cried  out,  and  fell  down  before  him,  and  with  a 
loud  voice  said.  What  have  I  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus, 
thou  Son  of  the  Most  High  God?     I  beseech  thee, 

29  torment  me  not.  For  he  commanded  the  unclean 
spirit  to  come  out  from  the  man.  For  'oftentimes  it 
had  seized  him:  and  he  was  kept  under  guard,  and 
bound  with  chains  and  fetters;  and  breaking  the 
bands  asunder,  he  was  driven  of  the  Mevil  into  the 

30  deserts.  And  Jesus  asked  him.  What  is  thy  name? 
And  he  said,  Legion ;  for  many  ^devils  were  entered 

31  into  him.     And  they  entreated  him  that  he  would 

32  not  command  them  to  depart  into  the  abyss.  Now 
there  was  there  a  herd  of  many  swine  feeding  on  the 
mountain :  and  they  entreated  him  that  he  would 
give  them  leave  to  enter  into  them.     And  he  gave 

33  them  leave.  And  the  Mevilscame  out  from  the  man, 
and  entered  into  the  swine;  and  the  herd  rushed 
down    the   steep  into   the  lake,  and  were   choked 

34  And  when  they  that  fed  them  saw  M'hat  had  come 
to  pass,  they  fled,  and  told  it  in  the  city  and  in  the 

35  country.  And  they  went  out  to  see  what  had  come 
to  pass ;  and  they  came  to  Jesus,  and  found  the  man, 
from  whom  the  Mevils  were  gone  out,  sitting,  clothed 
and  in  his  right  mind,  at  the  feet  of  Jesus ;  and  they 

36  were  afraid.  And  they  that  saw  it  told  them  how 
he  that  was  possessed  with  ^devils  was  'made  Avhole 

37  And  all  the  people  of  the  country  of  the  Ger'a-senes 
round  about  a.sked  him  to  depart  from  them;  for 
they  were  holden  with  great  fear:  and  he  entered 

38  into  a  boat,  and  returned.  But  the  man  from  whom 
the  ^devils  were  gone  out  prayed  him  that  he  might 

39  be  with  him  :  but  he  sent  him  away,  .saying.  Return 
to  thy  house,  and  declare  how  great  things  God  hath 
done  for  thee.  And  he  went  his  way,  publishing 
throughout  the  whole  city  how  great  things  Jesus 
had  done  for  him. 

40  And  as  Jesus  returned,  the  multitude  welcomed 

41  him ;  for  they  were  all  waiting  for  him.  And  be- 
hold, there  came  a  man  named  Ja-i'rus,  and  he  was  a 
ruler  of  the  synagogue :  and  he  fell  down  at  Jesus' 

42  feet,  and  besought  him  to  come  into  his  house ;  for 
he  had  an  only  daughter,  about  twelve  years  of  age, 
and  she  lay  a  dying.  But  as  he  went  the  multitudes 
thronged  him. 

43  And  a  woman  having  an  issue  of  blood  twelve 
years,  which  %ad  spent  all  her   living  upon  physi- 

44  cians,  and  could  not  be  healed  of  any,  came  behind 
him,  and  touched  the  border  of  his  garment :  and 

45  immediately  the  issue  of  her  blood  stanched.  And 
Jesus  said.  Who  is  it  that  touched  me  ?  And  when 
all  denied,  Pe'ter  said,  "and  they  that  were  with  him, 
Master,  the  multitudes  press  thee  and    crush    thee. 

46 But  Jesus  said,  Some  one  did  touch  me:  for  I  per- 
47ceived  that  power  had  gone  forth  from  me.  And 
when  the  woman  saw  that  she  was  not  hid,  she  came 
trembling,  and  falling  down  before  him  declared  in 
the  presence  of  all  the  people  for  what  cause  she 
touched  him,  and  how  she  was  healed  immediately. 
48  And  he  said  unto  her.  Daughter,  thy  faith  hath  *made 
thee  whole;  go  in  peace.

49  ^" While  he  yet  Spake,  there  cometh  one  from  the  ruler 
of  the  synagogue'.s  house,  saying  to  him,  Thy  daughter  is 
dead;  trouble  not  the  Master. 

50  But  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  answered  him,  saying,  Fear 
not :  believe  only,  and  she  shall  be  made  .whole. 

51  And  when  he  came  into  the  house,  he  suiFered  no  man 
to  go  in,  save  Pe'ter,  and  James,  and  John,  and  the  father 
and  the  mother  of  the  maiden. 

52  And  all  wept,  and  bewailed  her :  but  he  said,  Weep  not : 
she  is  not  dead,  ""but  sleepeth. 

53  And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn,  knowing  that  she  was 
dead. 

54  And  he  put  them  all  out,  and  took  her  by  the  hand, 
and  called,  saying,  Maid,  "arise. 

55  And  her  spirit  came  again,  and  she  arose  straightway : 
and  he  commanded  to  give  her  meat. 

56  And  her  parents  were  astonished :  but  'he  charged  them 
that  they  should  tell  no  man  what  was  done. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

Christ  sendeth  out  his  apostles — His  transfiguration^  &c. 

THEN  "he  called  his  twelve  disciples  together,  and  gave  them 
power  and  authority  over  all  devils,  and  to  cure  diseases. 

2  And  ''he  sent  them  to  preach  the  kingdom  of  God,  and 
to  heal  the  sick. 

3  "And  he  said  unto  them,  Take  nothing  for  your  journey, 
neither  staves,  nor  scrip,  neither  bread,  neither  money ; 
neither  have  two  coats  apiece. 

4  ''And  whatsoever  house  ye  enter  into,  there  abide,  and 
thence  depart. 

5  'And  whosoever  will  not  receive  you,  when  ye  go  out 
of  that  city,  -^shake  off  the  very  dust  from  your  feet  for  a 
testimony  against  them. 

6  "And  they  departed,  and  went  through  the  towns,  preach- 
ing the  gospel,  and  healing  every  where. 

7  ^'Now  Her'od  the  tetrarch  heard  of  all  that  was  done  by 
him  :  and  he  was  perplexed,  because  that  it  was  said  of  some, 
that  John  was  risen  from  the  dead; 

8  And  of  some,  that  E-li'as  had  appeared;  and  of  others, 
that  one  of  the  old  prophets  was  risen  again. 

9  And  Her'od  said,  John  have  I  beheaded ;  but  who  is  this, 
of  whom  I  hear  such  things?    'And  he  desired  to  see  him. 

10  ^*And  the  apostles,  when  they  were  returned,  told  him 
all  that  they  had  done.  'And  he  took  them,  and  went  aside 
privately  into  a  desert  place  belonging  to  the  city  called 
Beth-sa'i-da. 

11  And  the  people,  when  they  knew  it,  followed  him :  and 
he  received  them,  and  spake  Unto  them  of  the  kingdom  of 
God,  and  healed  them  that  had  need  of  healing. 

12  '"And  when  the  day  began  to  wear  away,  then  came  the 
twelve,  and  said  unto  him.  Send  the  multitude  away,  that 
they  may  go  into  the  towns  and  country  round  about,  and 
lodge,  and  get  victuals :  for  we  are  here  in  a  desert  place. 

13  But  he  said  unto  them.  Give  ye  them  to  eat.  And  they 
said.  We  have  no  more  but  five  loaves  and  two  fishes;  ex- 
cept we  should  go  and  buy  meat  for  all  this  people. 

14  For  they  were  about  five  thousand  men.  And  he  said 
to  his  disciples,  Make  them  sit  down  by  fifties  in  a  company. 

15  And  they  did  so,  and  made  them  all  sit  down. 

16  Then  he  took  the  five  loaves  and  the  two  fishe.s,  and 
looking  up  to  heaven,  he  blessed  them,  and  brake,  and  gave 
to  the  disciples  to  set  before  the  multitude. 

17  And  they  did  eat,  and  were  all  filled :  and  there 
was  taken  up  of  fragments  that  remained  to  them  twelve 
baskets. 

18  5[''And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  alone  praying,  his 
disciples  were  with  him;  and  he  asked  them,  saying.  Whom 
say  the  people  that  I  am? 

19  They  answering  said,  "John  the  Baptist;  but  some  say, 
E-li'as;  and  others  «ay,thatoneof  the  old  prophets  is  risen  again. 


49  While  he  yet  spake,  there  cometh  one  from  the 
ruler  of  the  synagogue's  house,  saying.  Thy  daughter 

50  is  dead ;  trouble  not  the  ^Master.  But  Jesus  hearing 
it,  answered  him.   Fear  not:  only  believe,  and  she 

51  shall  be  ^made  whole.  And  when  he  came  to  the 
house,  he  suffered  not  any  man  to  enter  in  with  him, 
save  Pe'ter,  and  John,  and  James,  and  the  father  of 

52  the  maiden  and  her  mother.  And  all  were  weeping, 
and  bewailing  her :  but  he  said.  Weep  not ;  for  she 

53  is  not  dead,  but  sleepeth.     And  they  laughed  him 

54  to  scorn,  knowing  that  she  was  dead.  But  he,  taking 
her   by   the   hand,   called,    saying,    Maiden,   arise. 

55  And  her  spirit  returned,  and  she  rose  up  imme- 
diately :   and  he  commanded  that  something  be  given 

56  her  to  eat.  And  her  parents  were  amazed :  but 
he  charged  them  to  tell  no  man  what  had  been 
done. 

V  And  he  called  the  twelve  together,  and  gave  them 
power  and  authority  over  all  'devils,  and  to  cure  dis- 

2  eases.     And  he  sent  them  forth  to  preach  the  king- 

3  dom  of  God,  and  to  heal  *the  sick.  And  he  said 
unto  them.  Take  nothing  for  your  journey,  neither 
staff,  nor  wallet,  nor  bread,  nor  money  ;  neither  have 

4  two  coats.     And  into  whatsoever  house    ye    enter, 

5  there  abide,  and  thence  depart.  And  as  many  as 
receive  you  not,  when  ye  depart  from  that  city,  shake 
off  the  dust  from  your  feet  for  a  testimony  against 

6  them.  And  they  departed,  and  went  throughout 
the  villages,  preaching  the  gospel,  and  healing  every- 
where. 

7  Now  Her'od  the  tetrarch  heard  of  all  that  was 
done :  and  he  was  much  perplexed,  because  that  it 
was  said  by  some,   that  John  was  risen  from  the 

8 dead;  and  by  some,  that  E-li'jah  had  appeared;  and 
by  others,  that  one  of  the  old  prophets  was    risen 

9  again.  And  Her'od  said,  John  I  beheaded  :  but  who 
is  this,  about  whom  I  hear  such  things?  And  he 
sought  to  see  him. 

10  And  the  apostles,  when  they  were  returned,  de- 
clared unto  him  what  things  they  had  done.  And 
he  took  them,  and  withdrew  apart  to  a  city  called 

11  Beth-sa'i-da.  Butthe  multitudes  perceivingit  followed 
him :  and  he  welcomed  them,  and  spake  to  them  of 
the  kingdom  of  God,  and  them  that  had  need  of  heal- 

12ing  he  healed.  And  the  day  began  to  wear  away; 
and  the  twelve  came,  and  said  unto  him.  Send  the 
multitude  away,  that  they  may  go  into  the  villages 
and  country  round  about,  and  lodge,  and  get  victuals: 

13  for  we  are  here  in  a  desert  place.  But  he  said  unto 
them.  Give  ye  them  to  eat.  And  they  said.  We  have 
no  more  than  five  loaves  and  two  fishes ;  except  we 

14  should  go  and  buy  food  for  all  this  people.  For 
they  were  about  five  thousand  men.  And  he  said 
unto  his  disciples.  Make  them  'sit  down  in  companies, 

15  about  fifty  each.     And  they  did  so,  and  made  them 

16  all  'sit  down.  And  he  took  the  five  loaves  and  the 
two  fishes,  and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he  blessed 
them,  and  brake;  and  gave  to  the  disciples  to  set  be- 

17  fore  the  multitude.  And  they  did  eat,  and  were  all 
filled :  and  there  Avas  taken  up  that  which  remained 
over  to  them  of  broken  pieces,  twelve  baskets. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  praying  alone,  the 
disciples  were  with  him  :  and  he  asked  them,  .saying, 

19  Who  do  the  multitudes  say  that  I  am  ?  And  they  an- 
swering said,  John  the  Baptist;  but  others  say,  E-li'jah; 
and  others,  that  one  of  the  old  prophets  is  risen  again.

20  He  said  unto  them,  But  whom  say  ye  that  I  am? 
"Pe'ter  answering  said,  The  Christ  of  God. 

21  'And  he  straitly  charged  them,  and  commanded  them 
to  tell  no  man  that  thing; 

22  Saying,  ''The  Son  of  man  must  suffer  many  things,  and 
be  rejected  of  the  elders  and  chief  priests  and  scribes,  and 
be  slain,  and  be  raised  the  third  day. 

23  ^'And  he  said  to  them  all.  If  any  man  will  come  after 
me,  let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his  cross  daily,  and 
follow  me. 

24  For  whosoever  will  save  his  life,  shall  lose  it :  but  who- 
soever will  lose  his  life  for  my  sake,  the  same  shall  save  it. 

25  'For  what  is  a  man  advantaged,  if  he  gain  the  whole 
world,  and  lose  himself,  or  be  cast  away? 

26  "For  whosoever  shall  be  ashamed  of  me  and  of  my 
words,  of  him  shall  the  Sou  of  man  be  ashamed,  when  he 
shall  come  in  his  own  glory,  and  in  his  Father's,  and  of  the 
holy  angels. 

27  *But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth,  there  be  some  standing 
here  which  shall  not  taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

28  ^"And  it  came  to  pass  about  an  eight  days  after  these 
II  saying.?,  he  took  Pe'ter  and  John  and  James,  and  went  up 
into  a  mountain  to  pray. 

29  And  as  he  prayed,  the  fashion  of  his  countenance  was 
altered,  and  his  raiment  loas  white  and  glistering. 

30  Aud,  behold,  there  talked  with  him  two  men,  which 
were  Mo'ses  and  E-li'as : 

31  Who  appeared  in  glory,  and  spake  of  his  decease  which 
he  should  accomplish  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

32  But  Pe'ter  and  they  that  were  with  him  'were  heavy 
with  sleep :  and  when  they  were  awake,  they  .saw  his  glory, 
and  the  two  men  that  stood  with  him. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  departed  from  him,  Pe'ter 
said  unto  Jesus,  Master,  it  is  good  for  us  to  be  here :  and  let 
us  make  three  tabernacles ;  one  for  thee,  and  one  for  Mo'ses, 
and  one  for  E-li'as :  not  knowing  what  he  said. 

34  While  he  thus  spake,  there  came  a  cloud,  and  over- 
shadowed them :  and  they  feared  as  they  entered  into  the 
cloud. 

35  And  there  came  a  voice  out  of  the  cloud,  saying,  "This 
is  my  beloved  Son :  'hear  him. 

36  And  when  the  voice  was  past,  Jesus  was  found  alone. 
"And  they  kept  it  close,  and  told  no  man  in  those  days  any 
of  those  things  which  they  had  seen. 

37  ^''And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  next  day,  when 
they  were  comp       wn  from  the  hill,  much  people  met  him. 

38  And,  beLciQ,  a  man  of  the  company  ci'ied  out,  saying. 
Master,  I  beseech  thee,  look  upon  my  son;  for  he  is  mine 
only  child. 

39  And,  lo,  a  spirit  taketh  him,  and  he  suddenly  crieth 
out;  and  it  teareth  him  that  he  foameth  again,  and  bruising 
him,  hardly  departeth  from  him. 

40  And  I  besought  thy  disciples  to  cast  hirn  out ;  and  they 
could  not. 

41  And  Jesus  answering  said,  O  faithless  and  perverse 
generation,  how  long  shall  I  be  with  you,  and  suffer  you? 
Bring  thy  son  hither. 

42  And  as  he  was  yet  a  coming,  the  devil  threw  him  down, 
and  tare  him.  And  Jesus  rebuked  the  unclean  spirit,  and 
healed  the  child,  and  delivered  him  again  to  his  father. 

43  ^And  they  were  all  amazed  at  the  mighty  power  of 
God.  But  while  they  wondered  every  one  at  all  things 
which  Jesus  did,  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 

44  'Let  these  sayings  sink  down  into  your  ears :  for  the  Son 
of  man  shall  be  delivered  into  the  hands  of  men. 

45  -^ut  they  understood  not  this  saying,  and  it  was  hid 
from  them,  that  they  perceived  it  not :  and  they  feared  to 
ask  him  of  that  saying. 


20  And  he  said  unto  them.  But  who  say  ye  that  I  am  ? 

21  And  Pe'ter  answering  said.  The  Christ  of  God.  But 
he  charged  them,  and  commanded  them  to  tell  this 

22  to  no  man ;  saying.  The  Son  of  man  must  suffer 
many  things,  and  be  rejected  of  the  elders  and  chief 
priests   and   scribes,   and   be  killed,  and  the  third 

23  day  be  raised  up.  And  he  said  unto  all,  If  any 
man   would  come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself, 

24  and  take  up  his  cross  daily,  and  follow  me.  For 
whosoever  would  save  his  'life  shall  lose  it;  but 
whosoever  shall  lose  his  'life  for  my  sake,  the  same 

25  shall  save  it.  For  what  is  a  man  profited,  if  he 
gain   the  whole   world,  and  lose  or  forfeit  his  own 

26  self?  For  whosoever  shall  be  ashamed  of  me  and 
of  my  words,  of  him  shall  the  Son  of  man  be 
ashamed,  when  he  cometh  in  his  own  glory  and  the 

21  glory  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  holy  angels.  But  I 
tell  you  of  a  truth.  There  be  some  of  them  that  stand 
here,  which  shall  in  no  wise  taste  of  death,  till  they 
see  the  kingdom  of  God. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass  about  eight  days  after  these 
sayings,  he  took  with  him  Pe'ter  and  John  and  James, 

29  and  went  up  into  the  mountain  to  pray.  And  as  he 
was  praying,  the  fashion  of  his  countenance  was 
altered,  and  his  raiment  became  white  and  dazzling. 

30  And  behold,  there  talked  with  him  two  men,  which 

31  were  Mo'ses  and  E-li'jah ;  who  appeared  in  glory, 
and  spake  of  his  Mecease  which  he  was  about  to  ac- 

32  complish  at  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Now  Pe'ter  and  they  that 
were  with  him  were  heavy  with  sleep :  but  'when  they 
were  fully  awake,   they  saw  his  glory,  and  the  two 

33  men  that  stood  with  him.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
they  were  parting  from  him,  Pe'ter  said  unto  Jesus, 
Master,  it  is  good  for  us  to  be  here :  and  let  us  make 
three  'tabernacles ;  one  for  thee,  and  one  for  Mo'ses, 
and   one  for  E-li'jah :    not   knowing  what  he  said. 

34  And  while  he  said  these  things,  there  came  a  cloud, 
and  overshadowed  them :  and  they  feared   as  they 

35  entered  into  the  cloud.  And  a  voice  came  out  of 
the   cloud,   saying.   This   is  'my    Son,    my   chosen : 

36  hear  ye  him.  And  when  the  voice  *came,  Jesus  was 
found  alone.  And  they  held  their  peace,  and  told 
no  man  in  those  days  any  of  the  things  which  they 
had  seen. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  on  the  next  day,  Avhen  they 
were  come  down  from  the  mountain,  a  great  multi- 

38tude  met  him.  And  behold,  a  man  from  the  mul- 
titude cried,  saying,  'Master,  I  beseech  thee  to  look 

39  upon  my  son;  for  he  is  mine  only  child :  and  behold, 
a  spirit  taketh  him,  and  he  suddenly  crieth  out ;  and 
it  *teareth  him  that  he  foameth,  and  it  hardly  de- 

40parteth  from  him,  bruising  him  sorely.  And  I  be- 
sought thy  disciples  to  cast  it  out;    and   they  could 

41  not.  And  Jesus  answered  and  said,  O  faithless  and 
perverse  generation,  how  long  shall  I  be  with  you, 

42 and  bear  with  you?  bring  hither  thy  son.  And  as 
he  was  yet  a  coming,  the  "devil  '"dashed  him  down, 
and  "tare  him  grievously.  But  Jesus  rebuked  the 
unclean   spirit,   and   healed   the  boy,  and  gave  him 

43  back  to  his  father.  And  they  were  all  astonished 
at  the  majesty  of  God. 

But  while  all  were  marvelling  at  all  the  things 

44  which  he  did,  he  said  unto  his  disciples.  Let  these 
words  sink  into  your  ears :  for  the  Son  of  man  shall 

45  be  delivered  up  into  the  hands  of  men.  But  they 
understood  not  this  saying,  and  it  Avas  concealed 
from  them,  that  they  should  not  perceive  it:  and 
they  were  afraid  to  ask  him  about  this  saying.

46  ^"Then  there  arose  a  reasoning  among  them,  which  of 
them  should  be  greatest. 

47  And  Jesus,  perceiving  the  thought  of  their  heart,  took 
a  child,  and  set  him  by  him, 

48  And  said  unto  them,  ''Whosoever  shall  receive  this  child 
in  my  name  receiveth  me ;  and  whosoever  shall  receive  me, 
receiveth  him  that  sent  me :  'for  he  that  is  least  among  you 
all,  the  same  shall  be  great. 

49  •[[*And  John  answered  and  said,  Master,  we  saw  one 
casting  out  devils  in  thy  name ;  and  we  forbade  him,  because 
he  followeth  not  with  us. 

50  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Forbid  him  not :  for  "he  that 
is  not  against  us  is  for  us. 

51  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  time  was  come  that 
"■he  should  be  received  up,  he  steadfastly  set  his  face  to  go 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

52  And  sent  messengers  before  his  face :  and  they  went,  and 
entered  intoa  village  of  the  Sa-mar'i-tans,to  make  ready  for  him. 

53  And  "they  did  not  receive  him,  because  his  face  was  as 
though  he  would  go  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

54  And  when  his  disciples  James  and  John  saw  this,  they 
said,  Lord,  wilt  thou  that  we  command  fire  to  come  down 
from  heaven,  and  consume  them,  even  as  °E-li'as  did? 

56  But  he  turned,  and  rebuked  them,  and  said.  Ye  know 
not  what  manner  of  spirit  ye  are  of. 

56  For  "the  Son  of  man  is  not  come  to  destroy  men's  lives, 
but  to  save  them.     And  they  went  to  another  village. 

57  ^'And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  they  went  in  the  way, 
a  certain  man  said  unto  him,  Lord,  I  will  follow  thee  whither- 
soever thou  goest. 

58  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Foxes  have  holes,  and  birds 
of  the  air  have  nests ;  but  the  Son  of  man  hath  not  where  to 
lay  his  head. 

59  'And  he  said  unto  another.  Follow  me.  But  he  said. 
Lord,  suffer  me  first  to  go  and  bury  my  father. 

60  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Let  the  dead  bury  their  dead :  but 
go  thou  and  preach  the  kingdom  of  God. 

61  And  another  also  said,  Lord,  'I  will  follow  thee ;  but  let 
me  first  go  bid  them  farewell,  which  are  at  home  at  my  house. 

62  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  No  man,  having  put  his  hand 
to  the  plough,  and  looking  back,  is  fit  for  the  kingdom  of  God. 

CHAPTER   X. 

Christ  sendetk  out  seventy  disciples. 

AFTER  these  things,  the  Lord  appointed  other  seventy 
also,  and  "sent  them  two  and  two  before  his  face  into 
every  city  and  place,  whither  he  himself  would  come. 

2  Therefore  said  he  unto  them,  Hhe  harvest  truly  is  great, 
but  the  labourers  are  few:  ''pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of  the 
harvest,  that  he  would  send  forth  labourers  into  his  harvest. 

3  Go  your  ways  :  ''behold,  I  send  you  forth  as  lambs  among 
wolves. 

4  'Carry  neither  purse,  nor  scrip,  nor  shoes:  and  •'salute 
no  man  by  the  way. 

5  'And  into  whatsoever  house  ye  enter,  first  say.  Peace 
be  to  this  house. 

6  And  if  the  son  of  peace  be  there,  your  peace  shall  rest 
upon  it :  if  not,  it  shall  turn  to  you  again. 

7  *And  in  the  same  hou.se  remain,  'eating  and  drinking 
such  things  as  they  give :  for  *the  labourer  is  worthy  of  his 
hire.     Go  not  from  house  to  house. 

8  And  into  whatsoever  city  ye  enter,  and  they  receive  you, 
eat  such  things  as  are  set  before  you : 

9  'And  heal  the  sick  that  are  therein,  and  say  unto  them, 
"The  kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh  unto  you. 

10  But  into  whatsoever  city  ye  enter,  and  they  receive  you 
not,  go  your  ways  out  into  the  streets  of  the  same,  and  say, 

1 1  "Even  the  very  dust  of  your  city,  which  cleaveth  on  us, 
we  do  wipe  off  against  you  :  notwithstanding,  be  ye  sure  of 
this,  that  the  kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh  unto  you. 


46  And  there  arose  a  reasoning  among  them,  which 

47  of  them  should  be  'greatest.  But  when  Jesus  saw 
the  reasoning  of  their  heart,  he  took  a  little  child, 

48  and  set  him  by  his  side,  and  said  unto  them.  Who- 
soever shall  receive  this  little  child  in  my  name 
receiveth  me :  and  whosoever  shall  receive  me  re- 
ceiveth him  that  sent  me :  for  he  that  is  ^least  among 
you  all,  the  same  is  great. 

49  And  John  answered  and  said.  Master,  we  saw  one 
casting  out  Mevils  in  thy  name ;  and  we  forbade  him, 

50  because  he  followeth  not  with  us.  But  Jesus  said 
unto  him,  Forbid  him  not :  for  he  that  is  not  against 
you  is  for  you. 

51  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  days  Vere  well- 
nigh  come  that  he  should  be  received  up,  he  sted 

52  fastly  set  his  face  to  go  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  sent 
messengers  before  his  face :  and  they  went,  and 
entered  into  a  village  of  the  Sa-mar'i-tans,  to  make 

53  ready  for  him.  And  they  did  not  receive  him, 
because  his  face  was  as  though  he  were  going  to  Je- 

54ru'sa-lem.  And  when  his  disciples  James  and  John 
saw  this,  they  said.  Lord,  wilt  thou  that  we  bid  fire 
to    come  down   from   heaven,  and  consume  them'? 

5g  But  he  turned,  and  rebuked  them'.  And  they  went 
to  another  village. 

57  And  as  they  went  in  the  way,  a  certain  man  said 
unto   him,  I   will   follow   thee   whithersoever  thou 

58  goest.  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  The  foxes  have 
holes,  and  the  birds  of  the  heaven  have  'nests ;  but 
the  Son  of  man  hath  not  where  to  lay  his  head. 

59  And  he  said  unto  another.  Follow  me.     But  he  said, 

60  Lord,  suffer  me  first  to  go  and  bury  my  father.  But 
he  said  unto  him.  Leave  the  dead  to  bury  their  own 
dead ;  but  go  thou  and  publish  abroad  the  kingdom 

61  of  God.  And  another  also  said,  I  will  follow  thee. 
Lord;  but  first  suffer  me  to  bid  farewell  to  them 

62  that  are  at  my  house.  But  Jesus  said  unto  him. 
No  man,  having  put  his  hand  to  the  plough,  and 
looking  back,  is  fit  for  the  kingdom  of  God. 

+V  Now  after  these  things  the  Lord  appointed  seventy' 
others,  and  sent  them  two  and  two  before  his  face 
into  every   city   and   place,  whither  he  himself  was 

2  about  to  come.  And  he  said  unto  them,  The  harvest 
is  plenteous,  but  the  labourers  are  few :  pray  ye 
therefore  the  Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he  send  forth 

3  labourers  into  his  harvest.  Go  your  ways :  behold, 
I  send  you  forth  as  lambs   in  the  midst  of  wolves. 

4 Carry  no  purse,  no  wallet,  no  shoes:   and  salute  no 

5  man  on  the  way.     And  into  whatsoever  house  ye 

6  shall  'enter,  first  say.  Peace  be  to  this  house.  And 
if  a  son  of  peace  be  there,  your  peace  shall  rest 
upon  "*him:  but  if  not,  it  shall  turn  to  you  again. 

7  And  in  that  same  house  remain,  eating  and  drink- 
ing such  things  as  they  give :  for  the  labourer  is 
worthy  of  his  hire.     Go  not  from  house  to  house. 

8  And  into  whatsoever  city  ye  enter,  and  they  re- 
ceive you,  eat  such  things  as  are  set  before  you : 

9  and  heal  the  sick  that  are  therein,  and  say  unto 
'them,  The  kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh  unto  you. 

10  But  into  whatsoever  city  ye  shall  enter,  and  they 
receive  you   not,  go   out  into   the   streets  thereof 

Hand  say,  Even  the  dust  from  your  city,  that  cleaveth 
to  our  feet,  we  do  wipe  off  against  you:  howbeit 
know  this,  that  the  kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh.

12  But  I  say  unto  you,  that  "it  shall  be  more  tolerable  in 
that  day  for  Sod'om,  than  for  that  city. 

13  ^Woe  unto  thee,  Cho-ra'zin  !  woe  unto  thee,  Beth-sa'i-da! 
'for  if  the  mighty  works  had  been  done  in  Tyre  and  Si'don, 
which  have  been  done  in  you,  they  had  a  great  while  aat 
repented,  sitting  in  sackcloth  and  ashes. 

14  But  it  shall  be  more  tolerable  for  Tyre  and  Si'don  at 
the  judgment,  than  for  you. 

15  ""And  thou,  Ca-per'na-um,  which  art  'exalted  to  heaven, 
'shalt  be  thrust  down  to  hell. 

16  "He  that  heareth  you  heareth  me;  and  "^he  that  de- 
spiseth  you  despiseth  me;  "and  he  that  despiseth  me  de- 
spiseth  him  that  sent  me. 

17  ^And  'the  seventy  returned  again  with  joy,  saying. 
Lord,  even  the  devils  are  subject  unto  us  through  thy  name. 

18  And  he  said  unto  them,  °I  beheld  Sa'tan  as  lightning 
fall  from  heaven. 

19  Behold,  ''I  give  unto  you  power  to  tread  on  serpents 
and  scorpions,  and  over  all  the  power  of  the  enemy ;  and 
nothing  shall  by  any  means  hurt  you. 

20  Notwitstanding,  in  this  rejoice  not,  that  the  spirits  are 
subject  unto  you;  but  rather  rejoice,  because  "your  names 
are  written  in  heaven. 

21  ^''In  that  hour  Jesus  rejoiced  in  spirit,  and  said,  I  thank 
thee,  O  Father,  Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  that  thou  hast 
hid  these  things  from  the  wise  and  prudent,  and  hast  re- 
vealed them  unto  babes :  even  so.  Father ;  for  so  it  seemed 
good  in  thy  sight. 

22  'il  All  things  are  delivered  to  me  of  my  Father  :  and  -'no 
man  knoweth  who  the  Son  is,but  the  Father;  and  who  the  Fa- 
ther is,  but  the  Son,  and  he  to  whom  the  Son  will  reveal  him. 

23  ^And  he  turned  him  unto  his  disciples,  and  said  pri- 
vately, "Blessed  are  the  eyes  which  see  the  things  which  ye  see. 

24  For  I  tell  you,  'that  many  prophets  and  kings  have  de- 
sired to  see  those  things  which  ye  see,  and  have  not  seen 
them;  and  to  hear  those  things  which  ye  hear,  and  have 
not  heard  them. 

25  ^And,  behold,  a  certain  lawyer  stood  up,  and  tempted 
him,  saying,  'Master,  what  shall  I  do  to  inherit  eternal  life  ? 

26  He  said  unto  him,  What  is  written  in  the  law?  how 
readest  thou? 

27  And  he  answering  said,  *Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy 
strength,  and  with  all  thy  mind ;  and  'thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 

28  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thou  hast  answered  right :  this 
do,  and  "thou  shalt  live. 

29  But  he,  willing  to  "justify  himself,  said  unto  Jesus,  And 
who  is  my  neigbour? 

30  And  Jesus  answering  said,  A  certain  man  went  down 
from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  Jer'i-cho,and  fell  among  thieves,  which 
stripped  him  of  his  raiment,  and  wounded  him,  and  de-» 
parted,  leaving  him  half  dead. 

31  And  by  chance  there  came  down  a  certain  priest  that 
way;  and  when  he  saw  him,  "he  passed  by  on  the  other  side. 

32  And  likewise  a  Le'vite,  when  he  was  at  the  place,  came 
and  looked  on  him,  and  passed  by  on  the  other  side. 

33  But  a  certain  ''Sa-mar'i-tan,  as  he  journeyed,  came  where 
he  was ;  and  when  he  saw  him,  he  had  compassion  on  him, 

34  And  went  to  him,  and  bound  up  his  wounds,  pouring 
in  oil  and  wine,  and  set  him  on  his  own  beast,  and  brought 
him  to  an  inn,  and  took  care  of  him. 

35  And  on  the  morrow  when  he  departed,  he  took  out 
two  II  pence,  and  gave  them  to  the  host,  and  said  unto  him. 
Take  care  of  him :  and  whatsoever  thou  spendest  more, 
when  I  come  again,  I  will  repay  thee. 

36  Which  now  of  these  three,  thinkest  thou,  was  neigh- 
bour unto  him  that  fell  among  the  thieves  ? 

37  And  he  said.  He  that  shewed  mercy  on  him.  Then 
said  Jesus  unto  him,  Go,  and  do  thou  likewise. 


121  say  unto  you.  It  shall  be  more  tolerable  in  that 

13  day  for  Sod'om,  than  for  that  city.  Woe  unto  thee, 
Cho-ra'zin !  woe  unto  thee  Beth-sa'i-da :  for  if  the 
'mighty  works  had  been  done  in  Tyre  and  Si'don, 
which  were  done  in  you,  they  would  have  repented 

14  long  ago,  sitting  in  sackcloth  and  ashes.  Howbeit  it 
shall  be  more  tolerable  for  Tyre  and  Si'don  in  the 

15 judgement,  than  for  you.  And  thou,  Ca-per'na-um, 
shalt  thou  be  exalted   unto   heaven  ?  thou  shalt  be 

16  brought  down  unto  Ha'des.  He  that  heareth  you 
heareth  me;  and  he  that  rejecteth  you  rejecteth  me; 
and  he  that  rejecteth  me  rejecteth  him  that  sent  me. 

17  And  the  seventy  returned  with  joy,  saying.  Lord, 
even  the  Mevils  are  subject  unto  us  in  thy  name. 

18  And  he  said  unto   them,  I  beheld  Sa'tan  fallen   as 

19  lightning  from  heaven.  Behold,  I  have  given  you 
authority  to  tread  upon  serpents  and  sco.  pious,  and 
over  all  the  power  of  the  enemy :  and  nothing  shall 

20  in  any  wise  hurt  you.  Howbeit  in  this  rejoice  not, 
that  the  spirits  are  subject  unto  you;  but  rejoice 
that  your  names  are  written  in  heaven. 

21  In  that  same  hour  he  rejoiced  'in  the  Holy  Spirit, 
and  said,  I  Hhank  thee,  O  Father,  Lord  of  heaven 
and  earth,  that  thou  didst  hide  these  things  from 
the  wise  and  understanding,  and  didst  reveal  them 
unto  babes:  yea.  Father;  'for  so  it  was  well-pleas- 

22  ing  in  thy  sight.  All  things  have  been  delivered 
unto  me  of  my  Father :  and  no  one  knoweth  who 
the  Son  is,  save  the  Father;  and  who  the  Father  is, 
save  the  Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever  the  Son  willeth 

23  to  reveal  him.  And  turning  to  the  disciples,  he  said 
privately.  Blessed  are  the  eyes  which  see  the  things 

24  that  ye  see :  for  I  say  unto  you,  that  many  prophets 
and  kings  desired  to  see  the  things  which  ye  see, 
and  saw  them  not ;  and  to  hear  the  things  which  ye 
hear,  and  heard  them  not. 

25  And  behold,  a  certain  lawyer  stood  up  and  tempted 
him,  saying,  'Master,  what  shall  I  do  to  inherit  eter- 

26  nal  life  ?     And  he  said  unto  him.  What  is  written  in 
27 the  lav/?  how    readest  thou?     And   he  answering 

said.  Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  'with  all 
thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy 
strength,  and  with  all  thy  mind ;  and  thy  neighbour 

28  as  thyself.     And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  an- 

29  swered  right :  this  do,  and  thou  shalt  live.  But  he, 
desiring  to  justify  himself,  said  unto  Jesus,  And  who 

30 is  my  neighbour?  Jesus  made  answer  and  said,  A 
certain  man  was  going  down  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  to 
Jer'i-cho;  and  he  fell  among  robbers,  which  both 
stripped  him  and   beat  him,  and  departed,  leaving 

31  him  half  dead.  And  by  chance  a  certain  priest 
was  going  down  that  way :  and   when  he  saw  him, 

32  he  passed  by  on  the  other  side.  And  in  like  man- 
ner a  Le'vite  also,  when  he  came  to  the  place,  and 

33  saw  him,  passed  by  on  the  other  side.  But  a  cer- 
tain Sa-mar'i-tan,  as  he  journeyed,  came  where  he 
was:  and    when  he  saw   him,   he    was   moved  with 

34  compassion,  and  came  to  him,  and  bound  up  bis 
wounds,  pouring  on  them  oil  and  wine;  and  he  set 
him  on  his  own  beast,  and  brought   him  to  an  inn, 

35  and  took  care  of  him.  And  on  the  morrow  he  took 
out  two  *pence,  and  gave  them  to  the  host,  and 
said.  Take  care  of  him;  and  whatsoever  thou 
spendest  more,   I,  when   I    come  back    again,  will 

36  repay  thee.  Which  of  these  three,  thinkest  thou, 
proved   neighbour   unto    him    that   fell   among   the 

37 robbers?  And  he  said.  He  that  shewed  mercy 
on  him.  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Go,  and  do 
thou  likewise.

38  ^Now  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  went,  that  he  entered 
into  a  certain  village :  and  a  certain  woman  named  'Mar'tha 
received  him  into  her  house. 

39  And  she  had  a  sister  called  Ma'ry,  'which  also  'sat  at 
Jesus'  feet,  and  heard  his  word. 

40  But  Mar'tha  was  cumbered  about  much  serving,  and 
came  to  him,  and  said,  Lord,  dost  thou  not  care  that  my 
sister  hath  left  me  to  serve  alone?  bid  her  therefore  that 
she  help  me. 

41  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her,  Mar'tha,  Mar'- 
tha, thou  art  careful  and  troubled  about  many  thin'gs : 

42  But  'one  thing  is  needful ;  and  Ma'ry  hath  chosen  that 
good  part,  which  shall  not  be  taken  away  from  her. 

CHAPTER   XI. 

Christ  teacheth  to  pray. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  he  was  praying  in  a  certain 
place,  when  he  ceased  one  of  his  disciples  said  unto 
him,  Lord,  teach  us  to  pray,  as  John  also  taught  his  disciples. 

2  And  he  said  unto  them.  When  ye  pray,  say,  "Our  Father 
which  art  in  heaven.  Hallowed  be  thy  name.  Thy  kingdom 
come.     Thy  will  be  done,  as  in  heaven,  so  in  earth. 

3  Give  us  ||day  by  day  our  daily  bread. 

4  And  forgive  us  our  sins;  for  we  also  forgive  every  one 
that  is  indebted  to  us.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation; 
but  deliver  us  from  evil. 

5  And  he  said  unto  them.  Which  of  you  shall  have  a 
friend,  and  shall  go  unto  him  at  midnight,  and  say  unto 
him.  Friend,  lend  me  three  loaves; 

6  For  a  friend  of  mine  ||in  his  journey  is  come  to  me,  and 
I  have  nothing  to  set  before  him  ? 

7  And  he  from  within  shall  answer  and  say,  Trouble  me 
not :  the  door  is  now  shut,  and  my  children  are  with  me  in 
bed ;  I  cannot  rise  and  give  thee. 

8  I  say  unto  you,  'Though  he  will  not  rise  and  give  him, 
because  he  is  his  friend,  yet  because  of  his  importunity  he 
will  rise  and  give  him  as  many  as  he  needeth. 

9  "And  I  say  unto  you,  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you;  seek, 
and  ye  shall  find ;  knock,  and  it  shall  be  opened  unto  you. 

10  For  every  one  that  asketh  receiveth ;  and  he  that  seek- 
eth  findeth ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall  be  opened. 

11  ''If  a  son  shall  ask  bread  of  any  of  you  that  is  a  father, 
will  he  give  him  a  stone  ?  of  if  he  ask  a  fish,  will  he  for  a 
fish  give  him  a  serpent? 

12  Or  if  he  shall  ask  an  egg,  will  he  foffer  him  a  scorpion  ? 

13  If  ye  then,  being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts 
unto  your  children;  how  much  more  shall  your  heavenly 
Father  give  the  Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him? 

14  ^'And  he  was  casting  out  a  devil,  and  it  was  dumb. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  devil  was  gone  out,  the  dumb 
spake;  and  the  people  wondered. 

15  But  some  of  them  said, -^He  casteth  out  devils  through 
fBe-el'ze-bub  the  chief  of  the  devils. 

16  And  others,  tempting  him;  'sought  of  him  a  sign  from 
heaven. 

17  'But  'he,  knowing  their  thoughts,  said  unto  them.  Every 
kingdom  divided  against  itself  is  brought  to  desolation;  and 
a  house  divided  against  a  house  falleth. 

18  If  Sa'tan  also  be  divided  against  himself,  how  shall  his 
kingdom  stand?  because  ye  say  that  I  cast  out  devils 
through  Be-el'ze-bub. 

19  And  if  I  by  Be-el'ze-bub  cast  out  devils,  by  Avhom  do 
your  sons  cast  them  out?  therefore  shall  they  be  your  judges. 

20  But  if  I  *with  the  finger  of  God  cast  out  devils,  no 
doubt  the  kingdom  of  God  is  come  upon  you. 

21  'When  a  strong  man  armed  keepeth  his  palace,  his 
goods  are  in  peace: 

22  But  "'when  a  stronger  than  he  shall  come  upon  him, 
and  overcome  him,  he  taketh  from  him  all  his  armour 
wherein  he  trusted,  and  divideth  his  spoils. 


38  Now  as  they  went  on  their  way,  he  entered  into  a 
certain  village :  and  a  certain  woman  named  Mar'tha 

39  received  him  into  her  house.  And  she  had  a  sister 
called  Ma'ry,  which  also  sat  at  the  Lord's  feet,  and 

40  heard  his  word.  But  Mar'tha  was  'cumbered  about 
much  serving;  and  she  came  up  to  him,  and  said. 
Lord,  dost  thou  not  care  that  my  sister  did  leave 
me  to  serve  alone?  bid  her  therefore  that  she  help 

41  me.  But  the  Lord  answered  and  said  unto  her, 
^Mar'tha,  Mar'tha,  thou  art  anxious  and  troubled 

42 about  many  things:  'but  one  thing  is  needful:  for 
Ma'ry  hath  chosen  the  good  part,  which  shall  not 
be  taken  away  from  her. 

J-4-     And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  praying  in  a  cer 
tain  place,  that  when  he  ceased,  one  of  his  disciples 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  teach  us  to  pray,  even  as  John 

2  also  taught  his  disciples.  And  he  said  unto  them. 
When  ye  pray,  say,  ^Father,  Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

3  Thy   kingdom    come.'     Give   us   day  by  day  *our 

4  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  sins ;  for  we  our- 
selves also  forgive  every  one  that  is  indebted  to  us. 
And  bring  us  not  into  temptation.' 

5  And  he  said  unto  them.  Which  of  you  shall  have 
a  friend,  and  shall  go  unto  him  at  midnight,  and  say 

6  to  him,  Friend,  lend  me  three  loaves ;  for  a  friend 
of  mine  is  come  to  me  from  a  journey,  and  I  have 

7  nothing  to  set  before  him ;  and  he  from  within  shall 
answer  and  say,  Trouble  me  not:  the  door  is  now 
shut,  and  my  children  are  with  me  in  bed;  I  can- 
Snot  rise  and  give  thee?     I  say  unto  you.  Though 

he  will  not  rise  and  give  him,  because  he  is  his 
friend,  yet  because  of  his  importunity  he  will  arise 
9  and  give  him  'as  many  as  he  needeth.  And  I  say 
unto  you.  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ;  seek, 
and  ye  shall  find ;    knock,  and   it   shall  be  opened 

10  unto  you.  For  every  one  that  asketh  receiveth ; 
and    he    that    seeketh    findeth ;    and    to    him    that 

11  knocketh  it  shall  be  opened.  And  of  which  of 
you  that  is  a  father  shall  his  son  ask  'a  loaf,  and 
he  give  him  a  stone?  or  a  fi.sh,  and  he  for  a  fish 

12 give  him  a  serpent?     Or  if  he  shall  ask  an  egg, 
13 will  he  give  him  a  scorpion?     If  ye  then,  being 
evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your  chil- 
dren, how  much  more  shall  your  heavenly  Father 
give  the  Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him? 

14  And  he  was  casting  out  a  '"devil  which  was  dumb 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  '"devil  was  gone  out, 
the  dumb  man  spake ;  and  the  multitudes  marvelled 

15  But  some  of  them  said,  "By  Be-el'ze-bub  the  prince 

16  of  the  'Mevils  casteth  he  out  '^devils.  And  others, 
tempting  him,  sought  of  him  a  sign  from  heaven. 

17  But  he,  knowing  their  thoughts,  said  unto  them, 
Every  kingdom  divided  against  itself  is  brought 
to  desolation ;  ''and  a  house  divided  against  a  house 

18  falleth.  And  if  Sa'tan  also  is  divided  against  him- 
self,  how    shall    his    kingdom    stand?    because    ye 

19  .say  that  I  cast  out  'Mevils  "by  Be-el'ze-bub.  And 
if  I  "by  Be-el'ze-bub  cast  out  'Mevils,  by  whom  do 
your  sons  cast  them  out?  therefore  shall  they  be 

20your  judges.  But  if  I  by  the  finger  of  God  cast 
out  '^devils,  then  is  the  kingdom  of  God  come  upon 
21  you.  When  the  strong  man  fully  armed  guardeth 
22 his  own  court,  his  goods  are  in  peace:  but  when 
a  stronger  than  he  shall  come  upon  him,  and 
overcome  him,  he  taketh  from  him  his  whole  ar- 
mour wherein  he  trusted,  and  divideth  his  spoils.  I

23  "He  that  is  not  with  me  is  against  me;  and  he  that 
gathereth  not  with  me  scattereth. 

24  "When  the  unclean  spirit  is  gone  out  of  a  man,  he 
waliieth  through  dry  places,  seeking  rest ;  and  finding  none, 
he  saith,  I  will  return  unto  my  house  whence  I  came  out. 

25  And  when  he  cometh,  he  findeth  it  swept  and  garnished. 

26  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh  to  him  seven  other  spirits 
more  wicked  than  himself;  and  they  enter  in  and  dwell 
there  :  and  ''the  last  state  of  that  man  is  worse  than  the  first. 

27  "HAud  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  spake  these  things,  a  cer- 
tain woman  of  the  company  lifted  up  her  voice,  and  said 
unto  him,  'Blessed  is  the  womb  that  bare  thee,  and  the  paps 
which  thou  hast  sucked. 

28  But  he  said.  Yea,  ''rather,  blessed  are  they  that  hear  the 
word  of  God,  and  keep  it. 

29  ^'And  when  the  people  were  gathered  thick  together, 
he  began  to  say.  This  is  an  evil  generation :  they  seek  a 
sign ;  and  there  shall  no  sign  be  given  it,  but  the  sign  of 
Jo'nas  the  prophet. 

30  For  as  'Jo'nas  was  a  sign  unto  the  Nin'e-vites,  so  shall 
also  the  Son  of  man  be  to  this  generation. 

31  "The  queen  of  the  south  shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment 
with  the  men  of  this  generation,  and  condemn  them  :  for  she 
came  from  the  utmost  parts  of  the  earth,  to  hear  the  wisdom 
of  Sol'o-mon ;  and,  behold,  a  greater  than  Sol'o-mon  is  here. 

32  The  men  of  Nin'e-veh  shall  rise  up  in  the  judgment  with 
this  generation,  and  shall  condemn  it :  for  ''they  repented  at  the 
preaching  of  Jo'nas ;  and,  behold,  a  greater  than  Jo'nas  is  here. 

33  "No  man,  when  he  hath  lighted  a  candle,  putteth  it  in  a 
secret  place,  neither  under  a  ||  bushel,  but  on  a  candlestick, 
that  they  which  come  in  may  see  the  light. 

34  "The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye :  therefore  when  thine 
eye  is  single,  thy  M'hole  body  also  is  full  of  light;  but  when 
thine  eye  is  evil,  thy  body  also  is  full  of  darkness. 

35  Take  heed  therefore,  that  the  light  which  is  in  thee  be 
not  darkness. 

36  If  thy  whole  body  therefore  be  full  of  light,  having  no 
part  dark,  the  whole  shall  be  full  of  light,  as  when  fthe 
bright  shining  of  a  candle  doth  give  thee  light. 

37  ^And  as  he  .spake  a  certain  Phar'i-see  besought  him  to 
dine  with  him :  and  he  went  in,  and  sat  down  to  meat. 

38  And  "when  the  Phar'i-see  saw  it,  he  marvelled  that  he 
had  not  first  washed  before  dinner. 

.39  'And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Now  do  ye  Phar'i-sees 
make  clean  the  outside  of  the  cup  and  the  platter ;  but  "your 
inward  part  is  full  of  ravening  and  wickedness. 

40  Ye  fools,  did  not  he,  that  made  that  which  is  without, 
make  that  which  is  within  also? 

41  ''But  rather  give  alms  ||  of  such  things  as  ye  have ;  and, 
behold,  all  things  are  clean  unto  you. 

42  'But  woe  unto  you,  Phar'i-sees !  for  ye  tithe  mint  and  rue 
and  all  manner  of  herbs,  and  pass  over  judgment  and  the 
love  of  God :  these  ought  ye  to  have  done,  and  not  to  leave 
the  other  undone. 

43  ■''Woe  unto  you,  Phar'i-sees!  for  ye  love  the  uppermost 
seats  in  the  synagogues,  and  greetings  in  the  markets.] 

44  "Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees,  hypocrites !  'for 
ye  are  as  graves  which  appear  not,  and  the  men  that  walk 
over  them  are  not  aware  of  them. 

45  TJThen  answered  one  of  the  lawyers,  and  said  unto  him, 
Master,  thus  saying,  thou  reproachest  us  also. 

46  And  he  said.  Woe  unto  you  also,  ye  lawyers !  'for  ye  lade 
men  with  burdens  grievous  to  be  borne,  and  ye  yourselves 
touch  not  the  burdens  with  one  of  your  fingers. 

47  *Woe  unto  you!  for  ye  build  the  sepulchres  of  the 
prophets,  and  your  fathers  killed  them. 

48  Truly  ye  bear  witness  that  ye  allow  the  deeds  of  your  fa- 
thers: for  they  indeed  killed  them,andye  build  their  sepulchres. 
I  49  Therefore  also  said  the  wisdom  of  God,  'I  will  send 


23 He  that  is  not  with  me  is  against  me;  and  he  that 

24  gathereth  not  with  me  scattereth.  The  unclean 
spirit  when  'he  is  gone  out  of  the  man,  passeth 
through  waterless  places,  seeking  rest ;  and  finding 
none,  'he  saith,   I   will   turn  back  unto   my  house 

25  whence   I   came  out.     And  when  'he   is  come,  'he 

26  findeth  it  swept  and  garnished.  Then  goeth  'he,  and 
taketh  to  him  seven  other  spirits  more  evil  than  ^him- 
self; and  they  enter  in  and  dwell  there ;  and  the  last 
state  of  that  man  becometh  worse  than  the  first. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  said  these  things,  a  cer- 
tain woman  out  of  the  multitude  lifted  up  her  voice, 
and  said  unto  him.  Blessed  is  the  womb  that  bare 

28  thee,  and  the  breasts  which  thou  didst  suck.  But 
he  said,  Yea  rather,  blessed  are  they  that  hear  the 
word  of  God,  and  keep  it. 

29  And  when  the  multitudes  were  gathering  together 
unto  him,  he  began  to  say,  This  generation  is  an  evil 
generation  :  it  seeketh  after  a  sign;   and  there  shall 

30 no  sign  be  given  to  it  but  the  sign  of  Jo'nah.  For 
even  as  Jo'nah  became  a  sign  unto  the  Nin'e-vites,  so 

31  shall  also  the  Son  of  man  be  to  this  generation.  The 
queen  of  the  south  shall  rise  up  in  the  judgement 
with  the  men  of  this  generation,  and  shall  condemn 
them :  for  she  came  from  the  ends  of  the  earth  to 
hear  the  wisdom  of  Sol'o-mon ;  and  behold,  'a  greater 

32  than  Sol'o-mon  is  here.  The  men  of  Nin'e-veh  shall 
stand  up  in  the  judgement  with  this  generation,  and 
shall  condemn  it :  for  they  repented  at  the  preaching 
of  Jo'nah  ;  and  behold,  ^a  greater  than  Jo'nah  is  here. 

33  No  man,  when  he  hath  lighted  a  lamp,  putteth  it 
in  a  cellar,  neither  under  the  bushel,  but  on  the  stand, 

34  that  they  which  enter  in  may  see  the  light.  The 
lamp  of  thy  body  is  thine  eye :  when  thine  eye  is 
single,  thy  whole  body  also  is  full  of  light ;   but  when 

35  it  is  evil,  thy  body  also  is  full  of  darkness.  Look 
therefore  whether  the  light  that  is  in  thee  be  not 

36  darkness.  If  therefore  thy  whole  body  be  full  of 
light,  having  no  part  dark,  it  shall  be  wholly  full  of 
light,  as  when  the  lamp  with  its  bright  shining  doth 
give  thee  light. 

37  Now  as  he  spake,  a  Phar'i-see  asketh  him  to  *dine 
with  him :   and  he  went  in,  and  sat  down  to  meat 

38  And  when  the  Phar'i-see  saw  it,  he  marvelled  that  he 

39  had  not  first  washed  before  ^dinner.  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  him.  Now  do  ye  Phar'i-sees  cleanse  the  out- 
side of  the  cup  and  of  the  platter ;    but  your  inward 

40  part  is  full  of  extortion  and  wickedness.  Ye  foolish 
ones,  did  not  he  that  made  the  outside  make  the  in 

41  side  also?  Howbeit  give  for  alms  those  things  which 
"are  within  ;  and  behold,  all  things  are  clean  unto  you. 

42  But  woe  unto  you  Phar'i-sees !  for  ye  tithe  mint  and 
rue  and  every  herb,  and  pass  over  judgement  and  the 
love  of  God :    but  these  ought  ye  to  have  done,  and 

43  not  to  leave  the  other  undone.  Woe  unto  you  Phar'i- 
sees!  for  ye  love  the  chief  seats  in  the  synagogues, 

44  and  the  salutations  in  the  marketplaces.  Woe  unto 
you !  for  ye  are  as  the  tombs  which  appear  not,  and 
the  men  that  walk  over  them  know  it  not. 

45  And  one  of  the  lawyers  answering  saith  unto  him, 
46'Master,  in  saying  this  thou  reproachest  us  also.     And 

he  said,  Woe  unto  you  lawyers  also!    for  ye  lade 
men  with  burdens  grievous  to  be  borne,  and  ye  your- 
selves touch  not  the  burdens  with  one  of  your  fingers, 
47 Woe    unto    you!    for   ye  build  the  tombs  of  the 

48  prophets,  and  your  fathers  killed  them.  So  ye  are 
witnesses  and  consent  unto  the  works  of  your  fa- 
thers: for  they  killed  them,  and  ye  build  their  tomis. 

49  Therefore  also  said  the  wisdom  of  God,  I  will  send

and  persecute: 

50  That  the  blood  of  all  the  prophets,  which  was  shed  from 
the  foundation  of  the  world,  may  be  required  ofthisgeneration; 

51  "From  the  blood  of  A'bel  unto  the  "blood  of  Zach-a-ri'as,

key  of  knowledge :  ye  entered  not  in  yourselves,  and  them 
that  were  entering  in  ye  ||  hindered. 

53  And  as  he  said  these  things  unto  them,  the  scribes  and 
the  Phar'i-sees  began  to  urge  him  vehemently,  and  to  pro- 
voke him  to  speak  of  many  things : 

54  Laying  wait  for  him,  and  ''seeking  to  catch  something 
out  of  his  mouth,  that  they  might  accuse  him. 

CHAPTER    XII. 

Christ  teacheth  to  avoid  hypocrisy. 

IN  "the  mean  time,  when  there  were  gathered  together 
an  innumerable  multitude  of  people,  insomuch  that  they 
trode  one  upon  another,  he  began  to  say  unto  his  disciples 
first  of  all,  'Beware  ye  of  the  leaven  of  the  Phar'i-sees, 
which  is  hypocrisy. 

2  "For  there  is  nothing  covered,  that  shall  not  be  re- 
vealed ;  neither  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known. 

3  Therefore,  whatsoever  ye  have  spoken  in  darkness  shall 
be  heard  in  the  light ;  and  that  which  ye  have  spoken  in  the 
ear  in  closets  shall  be  proclaimed  upon  the  housetops. 

4  ''And  I  say  unto  you  'my  friends,  Be  not  afraid  of  them  that 
kill  the  body,  and  after  that  have  no  more  that  they  can  do. 

5  But  ~  wi''  foi-ewarn  you  whom  ye  shall  fear;  Fear  him, 
which  after  he;  hath  killed  hath  power  to  cast  into  hell ; 
yea,  I  say  unto  you.  Fear  him.

6  Are  not  five  sparrows  sold  for  two 
one  of  them  is  forgotten  before  God  ? 

7  Buteventheveryhairsofyourheadareallnumbered.  Fear 
not  therefore  :  ye  are  of  more  value  than  many  sparrows. 

8  -^Also  I  say  unto  you.  Whosoever  shall  confess  me  be- 
fore men,  him  shall  the  Son  of  man  also  confess  before  the 
angels  of  God : 

9  But  he  that  denieth  me  before  men  shall  be  denied  be- 
fore the  angels  of  God. 

10  And  'whosoever  shall  speak  a  word  against  the  Son  of 
man,  it  shall  be  forgiven  him:  but  unto  him  that  blas- 
phemeth  against  the  Holy  Ghost  it  shall  not  be  forgiven. 

11  ''And  when  they  bring  you  unto  the  synagogues,  and 
unto  magistrates,  and  powers,  take  ye  no  thought  how  or 
what  thing  ye  shall  answer,  or  what  ye  shall  say  : 

12  For  the  Holy  Ghost  shall  teach  y  )u  in  the  same  hour 
what  ye  ought  to  say. 

13  %And  one  of  the  company  said  unto  him.  Master,  speak 
to  my  brother,  that  he  divide  the  inheritance  with  me. 

14  And  he  said  unto  him,  'Man,  who  made  me  a  judge, 
or  a  divider  over  you? 

15  And  he  said  unto  them,  *Take  heed,  and  beware  of 
covetousness :  for  a  man's  life  consisteth  not  in  the  abun- 
dance of  ihe  things  which  he  possesseth. 

16  And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them,  saying.  The  ground 
of  a  certain  rich  man  brought  forth  plentifully: 

17  And  he  thought  within  himself,  saying.  What  shall  I  do, 
because  I  have  no  room  where  to  bestow  my  fruits  ? 

18  And  he  said.  This  will  I  do:  I  will  pull  down  my 
barns,  and  build  greater ;  and  there  will  I  bestow  all  my 
fruits  and  my  goods. 

19  And  I  will  say  to  my  soul,  'Soul,  thou  hast  much  goods 
laid  up  for  many  years ;  take  thine  ease,  eat,  drink,  and  be 
merry. 

20  But  God  said  unto  him.  Thou  fool,  this  night  ||"thy 
soul   shall   be   required  of  thee:    "then  whose  shall  those 

I  things  be,  which  tnou  hast  provided? 


unto  them  prophets  and  apostles ;  and  some  of  them 

50 they  shall  kill  and  persecute;  that  the  blood  of  all 

the  prophets,  which  was  shed  from  the  foundation  of 

51  the  world,  may  be  required  of  this  generation ;  from 
the  blood  of  A'bel  unto  the  blood  of  Zach-a-ri'ah,  who 
perished  between  the  altar  and  the  'sanctuary  :  yea 
I  say  unto  you,  it  shall  be  required  of  this  generation 

52  Woe  unto  you  lawyers !  for  ye  took  away  the  key  of 
knowledge:  ye  entered  not  in  yoursejves,  and  them 
that  were  entering  in  ye  hindered. 

53  And  when  he  was  come  out  from  hence,  the  scribes 
and  the  Phar'i-sees  began  to  ^press  upon  him  vehe- 
mently, and    to    provoke    him    to   speak  of  'many 

54  things ;  laying  wait  for  him,  to  catch  something  out 
of  his  mouth. 

1^  In  the  mean  time,  when  Hhe  many  thousands  of 
the  multitude  were  gathered  together,  insomuch  that 
they  trode  one  upon  another,  he  began  to  'say  unto 
his  disciples  first  of  all.  Beware  ye  of  the  leaven  of 

2  the  Phar'i-sees  which  is  hypocrisy.  But  there  is 
nothing  covered  up,  that  shall  not  be  revealed  :  and 

3  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known.     Wherefore  whatso 
ever  ye  have  said  in  the  darkness  shall  be  heard  in 
the  light ;  and  what  ye  have  spoken  in  the  ear  in  the 
inner  chambers  shall  be  proclaimed  upon  the  house 

4  tops.  And  I  say  unto  you  my  friends.  Be  not  afraid 
of  them  which  kill  the  body,  and  after  that  have  no 

5  more  that  they  can  do.  But  I  will  warn  you  whom 
ye  shall  fear :  Fear  him,  which  after  he  hath  killed 
hath  "power  to  cast  into  'hell ;  yea,  I  say  unto  you, 

6  Fear  him.  Are  not  five  sparrows  sold  for  two  far- 
things? and  not  one  of  them  is  forgotten  in  the  sight 

7  of  God.  But  the  very  hairs  of  your  head  are  all 
numbered.     Fear   not:  ye  are  of  more  value  than 

8  many  sparrows;  And  I  say  unto  you,  Every  one 
who  shall  confess  'me  before  men,  'him  shall  the 
Son  of  man  also  confess  before  the  angels   of  God : 

9  but  he  that  denieth  me  in  the  presence  of  men  shall 
be  denied  in   the   presence  of  the  angels  of  God. 

10  And  every  one  who  shall  .speak  a  word  against  the 
Son  of  man,  it  shall  be  forgiven  him :  but  unto  him 
that  blasphemeth  against  the  Holy  Spirit  it  shall  not 

11  be  forgiven.  And  when  they  bring  you  before  the 
synagogues,  and  the  rulers,  and  the  authorities,  be 
not  anxious  how  or  M-hat  ye    shall  answer,  or  what 

12  ye  shall  say  :  for  the  Holy  Spirit  shall  teach  you  in 
that  very  hour  what  ye  ought  to  say. 

13  And  one  out  of  the  multitude  said  unto  him, 
'"Master,  bid  my  brother  divide  the  inheritance  with 

14  me.     But   he  said  unto  him,  Man,  who  made  me  a 
15 judge  or   a  divider  over  you?     And  he  said   unto 

:hem.  Take  heed,  and  keep  yourselves  from   all  cov- 
etousness:   "for  a  man's  life  consisteth  not  in  the 

16  abundance  of  the  things  which  he  possesseth.  And 
he  spake  a  parable  unto  them,  saying,  The  ground 
of  a  certain    rich    man    brought   forth    plentifully: 

17  and  he  reasoned  within  himself,  saying.  What  shall 
I  do,  because  I  have  not  where  to  bestow  my  fruits  ? 

18  And  he  said.  This  will  I  do:  I  will  pull  down  my 
barns,  and  build  greater;  and  there  will  I  bestow 

19  all  my  corn  and  my  goods.  And  I  will  say  to  my 
'''soul,  "'Soul,  thou  hast  much  goods  laid  up  for 
many  years;  take  thine  ease,  eat,  drink,  be  merry. 

20  But  God  said  unto  him,  Thou  foolish  one,  this 
night  "is  thy  '^soul  required  of  thee;  and  the  things 
which  thou  hast    prepared,  whose  shall    they   be?

21  So  is  he  that  layeth  up  treasure  for  himself,  "and  is  not 
rich  toward  God. 

22  ^And  he  said  unto  his  disciples,  Therefore  I  say  unto 
you,  ''Take  no  thought  for  your  life,  what  ye  shall  eat; 
neither  for  the  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on. 

23  The  life  is  more  than  meat,  and  the  body  is  more  than 
raiment. 

24  Consider  the  ravens :  for  they  neither  sow  nor  reap ; 
which  neither  have  storehouse  nor  barn ;  and  'God  feedeth 
them :  how  much  more  are  ye  better  than  the  fowls  ? 

25  And  which  of  you  with  taking  thought  can  add  to  his 
stature  one  cubit? 

26  If  ye  then  be  not  able  to  do  that  thing  which  is  least, 
why  take  ye  thought  for  the  rest? 

27  Consider  the  lilies  how  they  grow :  they  toil  not,  they 
spin  not;  and  yet  I  say  unto  you,  that  Sol'o-mon  in  all  his 
glory  was  not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

28  If  then  God  so  clothe  the  grass,  which  is  to-day  in  the 
field,  and  to-morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven ;  how  much  more 
will  he  clothe  you,  O  ye  of  little  faith  ? 

29  And  seek  not  ye  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall 
drink,  ||  neither  be  ye  of  doubtful  mind. 

30  For  all  these  things  do  the  nations  of  the  world  seek  after : 
and  your  Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  these  things. 

31  ^'But  rather  seek  ye  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  all 
these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you. 

32  Fear  not,  little  flock ;  for  'it  is  your  Father's  good 
pleasure  to  give  you  the  kingdom. 

33  'Sell  that  ye  have,  and  give  alms;  "provide  yourselves 
bags  which  wax  not  old,  a  treasure  in  the  heavens  that  fail- 
eth  not,  where  no  thief  approacheth,  neither  moth  corrupteth. 

34  For  where  your  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

35  "Let  your  loins  be  girded  about,  and  "yowr  lights  burning ; 

36  And  ye  yourselves  like  unto  men  that  wait  for  their 
lord,  when  he  will  return  from  the  wedding;  that,  when  he 
Cometh  and  knocketh,  they  may  open  unto  him  immediately. 

37  "Blessed  are  those  servants,  whom  the  lord  when  he 
Cometh  shall  find  watching:  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he 
shall  gird  himself,  and  make  them  to  sit  down  to  meat,  and 
will  come  forth  and  serve  them. 

38  And  if  he  shall  come  in  the  second  watch,  or  come  in 
the  third  watch,  and  find  them  so,  blessed  are  those  servants. 

39  "And  this  know,  that  if  the  goodman  of  the  house  had 
known  what  hour  the  thief  would  come,  he  would  have 
watched,  and  not  have  suffered  his  house  to  be  broken  through. 

40  'Be  ye  therefore  ready  also  :  for  the  Son  of  man  cometh 
at  an  hour  when  ye  think  not. 

41  *iyThen  Pe'ter  said  unto  him.  Lord,  speakest  thou  this 
parable  unto  us,  or  even  to  all  ? 

42  And  the  Lord  said,  "Who  then  is  that  faithful  and  wise 
steward,  whom  his  lord  shall  make  ruler  over  his  household, 
to  give  them  their  portion  of  meat  in  due  season  ? 

43  Blessed  is  that  servant,  whom  his  lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  so  doing. 

44  ''Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  will  make  him 
ruler  over  all  that  he  hath. 

45  'But  and  if  that  servant  say  in  his  heart.  My  lord  de- 
layeth  his  coming ;  and  shall  begin  to  beat  the  menservants, 
and  maidens,  and  to  ed  and  drink,  and  to  be  drunken ; 

46  The  lord  of  that  servant  will  come  in  a  day  when  he 
looketh  not  for  him,  and  at  an  hour  when  he  is  not  aware, 
and  will  ||  cut  him  in  sunder,  and  will  appoint  him  his  portion 
with  the  unbelievers. 

47  And  -^that  servant  which  knew  his  lord's  will,  and  pre- 
pared not  himself,  neither  did  according  to  his  will,  shall  be 
beaten  with  many  stripes. 

48  "But  he  that  knew  not,  and  did  commit  things  worthy 
of  stripes,  shall  be  beaten  with  few  stripes.  For  unto  whom- 
soever much  is  given,  of  him  shall  be  much  required ;  and 


21  So  is  he  that  layeth  up  treasure  for  himself,  and  is 
not  rich  toward  God. 

22  And  he  said  unto  his  di.sciples,  Therefore  I  say 
unto  you.  Be  not  anxious  for  your  'life,  what  ye  shall 
eat;  nor  yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on. 

23  For  the  'life  is  more  than  the   food,  and   the   body 

24  than  the  raiment.  Consider  the  ravens,  that  they 
sow  not,  neither  reap ;  which  have  no  store-chamber 
nor  barn ;    and   God  feedeth   them :    of  how  much 

26  more  value  are  ye  than  the  birds !  And  which  of 
you  by  being   anxious   can   add   a   cubit  unto    his 

26  ^stature  ?  If  then  ye  are  not  able  to  do  even  that 
which  is  least,  why  are  ye   anxious  concerning  the 

27  rest?  Consider  the  lilies,  how  they  grow :  they  toil 
not,  neither  do  they  spin ;  yet  I  say  unto  you.  Even 
Sol'o-mon  in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed  like  one 

28  of  these.  But  if  God  doth  so  clothe  the  grass  in  the 
field,  -which  to-day  is,  and  to-morrow  is  cast  into  the 
oven ;  how  much  more  shall  he  clothe  you,  O  ye  of 

29  little  faith  ?  And  seek  not  ye  what  ye  shall  eat,  and 
what  ye  shall  drink,  neither  be  ye  of  doubtful  mind. 

30  For  all  these  things  do  the  nations  of  the  world  seek 
after :  but  your  Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need 

31  of  these  things.     Howbeit   seek   ye  'his   kingdom, 

32  and  these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you.  Fear 
not,  little  flock ;  for  it  is  your  Father's  good  pleasure 

33  to  give  you  the  kingdom.  Sell  that  ye  have,  and 
give  alms;  make  for  yourselves  purses  which  wax 
not  old,  a  treasure  in  the  heavens  that  faileth  not, 
where    no   thief  draweth    near,   neither    moth    de- 

34  stroyeth.  For  where  your  treasure  is,  there  will 
your  heart  be  also. 

35  Let  your  loins  be  girded  about,  and  your  lamps 
36 burning;  and  be  ye  yourselves  like  unto  men  look- 
ing for  their  lord,  when   he  shall  return   from   the 
marriage  feast ;  that,  when  he  cometh  and  knocketh, 

37  they  may  straightway  open  unto  him.  Blessed  are 
those  ^servants,  whom  the  lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  watching:  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he 
shall  gird  himself,  and  make  them  sit  down  to  meat, 

38  and  shall  come  and  serve  them.  And  if  he  shall 
come  in  the  second  watch,  and  if  in  the  third,  and 

39  find  them  so,  blessed  are  those  servants.  'But  know 
this,  that  if  the  master  of  the  house  had  known  in 
what  hour  the  thief  was  coming,  he  would  have 
watched,  and  not  have  left  his  house  to  be  'broken 

40 through.     Be  ye  also  ready:  for  in  an  hour  that  ye 

think  not  the  Son  of  man  cometh. 
41      And  Pe'ter  said.  Lord,  speakest  thou  this  parable 
42 unto   us,  or  even    unto   all?     And   the    Lord   said. 

Who  then  is  'the  faithful  and   wise    steward,  whom 

his  lord  shall  set  over  his  household,  to  give  them 
43 their  portion  of  food   in  due  season?     Blessed   is 

that  'servant,  whom  his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall 

44  find  so  doing.     Of  a   truth    I   say    unto   you,  that 

45  he  will  set  him  over  all  that  he  hath.     But  if  that 
"servant  shall  say    in    his   heart,  My    lord   delayeth 
his  coming;  and  shall  begin  to  beat   the  menserv 
ants  and   the  maidservants,  and  to   eat  and  drink, 

46 and  to  be  drunken;  the  lord  of  that  'servant  shall 
come  in  a  day  when  he  expecteth  not,  and  in  an 
hour  when  he  knoweth  not,  and  shall  'cut  him 
asunder,  and  appoint  his  portion  with   the  unfaith 

47  ful.  And  that  'servant,  which  knew  his  lord's  will, 
and    made    not    ready,    nor    did    according    to    his 

48  will,  shall  be  beaten  with  many  sbipes ;  but  he  that 
knew  not,  and  did  things  worthy  of  stripes,  shall 
be  beaten  with  few  stripes.  And  to  whomsoever 
much  is  given,  of  him  shall  much  be  required :  and

49  ^'■I  am  come  to  send  fire  on  the  earth ;  and  what  will 
I,  if  it  be  already  kindled  ? 

50  But  'I  have  a  baptism  to  be  baptized  with ;  and  how 
am  I  II straitened  till  it  be  accomplished! 

51  ^Suppose  ye  that  I  am  come  to  give  peace  on  earth? 
I  tell  you,  Nay ;  'but  rather  division : 

52  "For  from  henceforth  there  shall  be  five  in  one  house 
divided,  three  against  two,  and  two  against  three. 

53  The  father  shall  be  divided  against  the  son,  and  the 
son  against  the  father;  the  mother  against  the  daughter, 
and  the  daughter  against  the  mother;  the  mother  in  law 
against  her  daughter  in  law,  and  the  daughter  in  law  against 
her  mother  in  law. 

54  ^And  he  said  also  [to  the  people,  "When  ye  see  a 
cloud  rise  out  of  the  west,  straightway  ye  say.  There  cometh 
a  shower ;  and  so  it  is. 

55  And  when  ye  see  the  south  wiud  blow,  ye  say,  There 
will  be  heat ;  and  it  cometh  to  pass. 

56  Ye  hypocrites,  ye  can  discern  the  face  of  the  sky  and 
of  the  earth ;  but  how  is  it  that  ye  do  not  discern  this  time  ? 

57  Yea,and  why  even  of  yourselvesjudgeye  not  what  is  right? 

58  ^°\Vhen  thou  goest  with  thine  adversary  to  the  magis-

judge,  and  the  judge  deliver  thee  to  the  officer,  and  the 
officer  cast  thee  into  prison.

CHAPTER   XIII, 

Christ  teacketh  repentance. 

TPHERE  were  present  at  that  sca.son  some  that  told  him  of 
-L  the  Gal-i-le'ans,  whose  blood  Pi'late  had  mingled  with 
their  sacrifices. 

2  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  them.  Suppose  ye  that 
these  Gal-i-le'ans  were  sinners  above  all  the  Gal-i-le'ans, 
because  they  suffered  such  things  ? 

3  I  tell  you,  Nay ;  but  except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all  like- 
wise perish. 

4  Or  those  eighteen,  upon  whom  the  tower  in  Si-lo'am  fell, 
and  slew  them,  think  ye  that  they  were  ||  sinners  above  all 
men  that  dwelt  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  ? 

5  I  tell  you,  Nay :  but,  except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all  like- 
wise perish. 

6  ^He  spake  also  this  parable;  "A  certain  man  had  a  fig 
tree  planted  in  his  vineyard;  and  he  came  and  sought  fruit 
thereon,  and  found  none. 

7  Then  said  he  unto  the  dresser  of  his  vineyard,  Behold, 
these  three  years  I  come  seeking  fruit  on  this  fig  tree,  and 
find  none :  cut  it  down ;  why  cumbereth  it  the  ground  ? 

8  And  he  answering  said  unto  him,  Lord,  let  it  alone  this 
year  also,  till  I  shall  dig  about  it  and  dung  it: 

9  And  if  it  bear  fruit,  vsell:  and  if  not,  then  after  that  thou 
shalt  cut  it  down. 

10  And  he  was  teaching  in  one  of  the  synagogues  on  the 
sabbath. 

11  ^And,  behold,  there  was  a  woman  which  had  a  spirit 
of  infirmity  eighteen  years,  and  was  bowed  together,  and 
could  in  no  wise  lift  up  herself. 

12  And  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he  called  her  to  him,  and 
said  unto  her.  Woman,  thou  art  loosed  from  thine  infirmity. 

13  ""And  he  laid  his  hands  on  her:  and  immediately  she 
was  made  straight,  and  glorified  God. 

14  And  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue  answered  with  indig- 
nation, because  that  Jesus  had  healed  on  the  sabbath  day, 
and  said  unto  the  people,  "There  are  six  days  in  which  men 
ought  to  work  :  in  them  therefore  come  and  be  healed,  and 
''not  on  the  sabbath  day. 


to  whom  they  commit  much,  of  him  will  they  ask 

the  more. 

49     I  came  to  cast  fire  upon  the  earth;  and  what  will 
501,  if  it  is  already  kindled?    But  I  have  a  baptism  to 

be  baptized  with :  and  how  am  I  straitened  till  it  be 
51  accomplished !     Think  ye  that  I  am  come   to  give 

peace  in  the  earth?     I  tell  you.  Nay;  but  rather 
52 division:   for  there  shall  be  from  henceforth  five 

in  one  house  divided,  three  against  two,  and  two 

53  against  three.  They  shall  be  divided,  father  agaiust 
son,  and  son  against  father;  mother  against  daughter, 
and  daughter  against  her  mother;  mother  in  law 
against  her  daughter  in  law,  and  daughter  in  law 
against  her  mother  in  law. 

54  And  he  said  to  the  multitudes  also,  When  ye  see 
a  cloud  rising  in  the  west,  straightway  ye  say.  There 

55 cometh  a  shower;  and  so  it  cometh  to  pass.  And 
when  ye  see  a  south  wind  blowing,  ye  say,  There 
will   be  a  'scorching  heat;  and  it  cometh  to  pass 

56  Ye  hypocrites,  ye  know  how  to  ^interpret  the  face 
of  the  earth  and  the  heaven ;  but  how  is  it  that  ye 

57  know  not  how  to  ^interpret  this  time  ?  And  why 
even   of  yourselves  judge  ye   not   what   is  right? 

58  For  as  thou  art  going  with  thine  adversary  before 
the  magistrate,  on  the  way  give  diligence  to  be 
quit  of  him;  lest  haply  he  hale  thee  unto  the  judge, 
and  the  judge  shall  deliver  thee  to  the  ^officer,  and 

59  the  'officer  shall  cast  thee  into  prison.  I  say  unto 
thee.  Thou  shalt  by  no  means  come  out  hence,  till 
thou  have  paid  the  very  last  mite. 

-to  Now  there  were  some  present  at  that  very  season 
which   told   him  of  the  Gal-i-le'ans,   whose  blood 

2  Pi'late  had  mingled  with  their  sacrifices.  And  he 
answered  and  said  unto  them.  Think  ye  that  these 
Gal-i-le'ans  were  sinners  above  all  the  Gal-i-le'ans, 

3  because  they  have  suffered  these  things  ?  I  tell  you, 
Nay:   but,   except  ye  repent,  ye   shall  all   in  like 

4  manner  perish.  Or  those  eighteen,  upon  whom  the 
tower  in  Si-lo'am  fell,  and  killed  them,  think  ye  that 
they  were  ^offenders  above  all  the  men  that  dwell  in 

5  Je-ru'sa-lem  ?  I  tell  you.  Nay :  but,  except  ye  repent, 
ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

6  And  he  spake  this  parable;  A  certain  man  had  a 
fig  tree  planted  in  his  vineyard ;  and  he  came  seek- 

7  ing  fruit  thereon,  and  found  none.  And  he  said  unto 
the  vinedresser.  Behold,  these  three  years  I  come 
seeking  fruit  on  this  fig  tree,  and  find  none :  cut  it 

8  down ;  why  doth  it  also  cumber  the  ground  ?  And 
he  answering  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  let  it  alone  this 

9  year  also,  till  I  shall  dig  about  it,  and  dung  it :  and 
if  it  bear  fruit  thenceforth,  well;  but  if  not,  thou 
shalt  cut  it  down. 

10  And  he  was  teaching  in  one  of  the  synagogues  on 

1 1  the  sabbath  day.  And  behold,  a  woman  which  had 
a  spirit  of  infirmity  eighteen  years;  and  she  was 
bowed  together,  and  could  in  no  wise  lift  herself  up. 

1 2  And  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he  called  her,  and  said  to 
her,  Woman,  thou  art  loosed  from  thine  infirmity. 

13 And  he  laid  his  hands  upon  her:  and  immediately 
14  she  was  made  straight  and  glorified  God.  And  the 
ruler  of  the  synagogue,  being  moved  with  indignation 
because  Jesus  had  healed  on  the  sabbath,  answered 
and  said  to  the  multitude.  There  are  six  days  in 
which  men  ought  to  work:  in  them  therefore  come 
and  be  healed,  and  not  on  the  day  of  the  sabbath.

15  The  Lord  then  answered  him,  and  said,  Thou  hypo- 
crite, 'doth  not  each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath  loose  his 
ox  or  his  ass  from  the  stall,  and  lead  him  away  to  watering? 

16  And  ought  not  this  woman,  A)eing  a  daughter  of  .Vbra- 
hani,  whom  Sa'tan  hath  bound,  lo,  these  eighteen  years,  be 
loosed  from  this  bond  on  the  sabbath  day  ? 

17  And  when  he  had  said  these  things,  all  his  adversaries 
were  ashamed :  and  all  the  people  rejoiced  for  all  the  glo- 
rious things  that  were  done  by  him. 

18  ^'Then  said  he.  Unto  what  is  the  kingdom  of  God 
like?  and  whereunto  shall  I  resemble  it? 

19  It  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  which  a  man  took, 
and  cast  into  his  garden ;  and  it  grew,  and  waxed  a  great 
tre§;  and  the  fowls  of  the  air  lodged  in  the  branches  of  it. 

20  And  again  he  said,  Whereunto  shall  I  liken  the  king- 
dom of  God? 

21  It  is  like  leaven,  which  a  woman  took  and  hid  in  three 
II  measures  of  meal,  till  the  whole  was  leavened. 

22  *And  he  went  through  the  cities  and  villages,  teaching, 
and  journeying  toward  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

23  Then  said  one  unto  him.  Lord,  are  there  few  that  be 
saved?     And  he  said  unto  them, 

24  ^*Strive  to  enter  in  at  the  strait  gate :  for  'many, 
I  say  unto  you,  will  seek  to  enter  in,  and  shall  not  be  able. 

25  "When  once  the  master  of  the  house  is  risen  up,  and 
"hath  shut  to  the  door,  and  ye  begin  to  stand  without,  and  to 
knock  at  the  door,  saying,  "Lord,  Lord,  open  unto  us;  and  he 
shall  answer  and  say  unto  you,  ''I  know  you  not  whence  ye  are: 

26  Then  shall  ye  begin  to  say.  We  have  eaten  and  drunk 
in  thy  presence,  and  thou  hast  taught  in  our  streets. 

27  "But  he  shall  say,  I  tell  you,  I  know  you  not  whence 
ye  are;  Mepart  from  me,  all  ye  workers  of  iniquity. 

28  'There  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth, 'when  ye 
shall  see  A'bra-ham,and  I'saac,and  Ja'cob,  andallthe  prophets, 
in  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  you  yourselves  thrust  out. 

29  And  they  shall  come  from  the  east,  and  from  the  west, 
and  from  the  north,  and/rom  the  south,  and  shall  sit  down 
in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

30  "And,  behold,  there  are  last  which  shall  be  first;  and 
there  are  first  which  shall  be  last. 

31  ^The  same  day  there  came  certain  of  the  Phar'i-sees, 
saying  unto  him.  Get  thee  out,  and  depart  hence ;  for  Her'od 
will  kill  thee. 

32  And  h^  said  unto  them.  Go  ye,  and  tell  that  fox,  Behold, 
I  cast  out  devils,  and  I  do  cures  to-day  and  to-morrow,  and 
the  third  day  'I  shall  be  perfected. 

33  Nevertheless  I  must  walk  to-day,  and  to-morrow,  and 
the  day  following:  for  it  cannot  be  that  a  prophet  perish 
out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

34  "O  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  killestthe  prophets, 
and  stonest  them  that  are  sent  unto  thee ;  how  often  would 
I  have  gathered  thy  children  together,  as  a  hen  doth  gather 
her  brood  under  her  wings,  and  ye  would  not ! 

35  Behold,  "your  house  is  left  unto  you  desolate:  and 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  not  see  me,  until  the  tim£ 
come  when  ye  shall  say,  "Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

The  parable  of  the  great  supper. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  went  into  the   house   of  one 
of  the  chief  Phar'i-sees  to  eat  bread  on  the  sabbath  day, 
that  they  watched  him. 

2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  certain  man  before  him  which 
had  the  dropsy. 

3  And  Jesus  answering  spake  unto  the  lawyers  and  Phar'- 
i-sees, saying,  "Is  it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath  day? 

4  And  they  held  their  peace.  And  he  took  him,  and 
healed  him,  and  let  him  go; 

5  And  answered  them,  saying,  'Which  of  you  shall  have 


15  But  the  Lord  answered  him,  and  said.  Ye  hypo- 
crites, doth  not  each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath 
loose  his  ox  or  his  ass  from^^  the  'stall,  and  lead  him 

16 away  to  watering?  And  ought  not  this  woman, 
being  a  daughter  of  A'bra-ham,  whom  Sa'tan  had 
bound,  lo,  these  eighteen  years,  to  have  been  loosed 

17  from  this  bond  on  the  day  of  the  sabbath?  And  as 
he  said  these  things,  all  his  adversaries  were  put  to 
shame:  and  all  the  multitude  rejoiced  for  all  the 
glorious  things  that  were  done  by  him. 

18  He  .said  therefore,  Unto  what  is  the  kingdom  of 
19 God  like?  and  whereunto  shall  I  liken  it?     It  is 

like  unto  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  which  a  man  took, 
and  cast  into  his  own  garden ;  and  it  grew,  and  be- 
came a  tree;  and  the  birds  of  the  heaven  lodged  in 

20  the  branches  thereof.     And  again  he  said,  Where- 

21  unto  shall  I  liken  the  kingdom  of  God?  It  is  like 
unto  leaven,  which  a  woman  took  and  hid  in  three 
^measures  of  meal,  till  it  was  all  leavened. 

22  And  he  went  on  his  way  through  cities  and  vil- 
lages, teaching,  and  journeying  on  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

23  And  one  said  unto  him.  Lord,  are  they  few  that  be 
24 saved?    And  he  said  unto  them.  Strive  to  enter  in 

by  the  narrow  door :  for  many,  I  say  unto  you,  shall 

25  seek  to  enter  in,  and  shall  not  be  %ble.  When  once 
the  master  of  the  house  is  risen  up,  and  hath  shut 
to  the  door,  and  ye  begin  to  stand  without,  and  to 
knock  at  the  door,  saying.  Lord,  open  to  us ;  and  he 
shall  answer  and  say  to  you,  I  know  you  not  whence 

26  ye  are ;  then  shall  ye  begin  to  say.  We  did  eat  and 
drink  in  thy  presence,  and  thou  didst  teach  in  our 

27  streets ;  and  he  shall  say,  I  tell  you,  I  know  not 
whence  ye   are ;  depart  from  me,  all  ye  workers  of 

28  iniquity.  There  shall  be  the  weeping  and  gnashing 
ofteeth,  when  ye  shall  see  A'bra-ham,  and  I'saac,  and 
Ja'cob,  and  all  the  prophets,  in  the  kingdom  of  God, 

29  and  yourselves  cast  forth  without.  And  they  shall 
come  from  the  east  and  west,  and  from  the  north 
and  south,  and  shall  ''sit  down  in  the  kingdom  of 

30  God.  And  behold,  there  are  last  which  shall  be 
first,  and  there  are  first  which  shall  be  last. 

31  In  that  very  hour  there  came  certain  Phar'i-sees, 
saying  to  him.  Get  thee  out,  and  go  hence :  for  Her'od 

32  would  fain  kill  thee.  And  he  said  unto  them,  Go 
and  say  to  that  fox.  Behold,  I  cast  out  'devils  and 
perform  cures  to-day  and  to-morrow,  and  the  third

to-day  and  to-morrow  and  the  day  following :  for  it 
cannot  be  that  a  prophet  perish  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

64i  O  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Je-ru'sa-lem,which  killeth  the  prophets, 
and  stoneth  them  that  are  sent  unto  her !  how  often 
would  I  have  gathered  thy  children  together,  even

35  and  ye  would  not  I  Behold,  your  house  is  left  unto 
you  desolate:  and  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  not  see

the  name  of  the  Lord.

of  one  of  the  rulers  of  the  Phar'i-sees  on  a  sabbath  to

lawyers  and  Pharisees,  saying.  Is  it  lawful  to  heal 

4 on  the  sabbath,  or  not?     But  they  held  their  peace. 

And  he  took  him,  and  healed  him,  and  let  him  go.

pull  him  out  on  the  sabbath  day  ? 

6  And  they  could  not  answer  him  again  to  these  things. 

7  ^fAnd  he  put  forth  a  parable  to  those  which  were 
bidden,  when  he  marked  how  they  chose  out  the  chief 
rooms;  saying  unto  them, 

8  When  thou  art  bidden  of  any  man  to  a  wedding,  sit  not 
down  in  the  highest  room;  lest  a  more  honourable  man  than 
thou  be  bidden  of  him; 

9  And  he  that  bade  thee  and  him  come  and  say  to  thee. 
Give  this  man  place;  and  thou  begin  with  shame  to  take 
the  lowest  room. 

10  "But  when  thou  art  bidden,  go  and  sit  down  in  the 
lowest  room ;  that  when  he  that  bade  thee  cometh,  he  may 
say  unto  thee,  Friend,  go  up  higher :  then  shalt  thou  have 
worship  in  the  presence  of  them  that  sit  at  meat  with  thee. 

11  "Tor  whosoever  exalteth  himself  shall  be  abased;  and 
he  that  humbleth  himself  shall  be  exalted. 

12  ^Then  said  he  also  to  him  that  bade  him,  When  thou 
raakest  a  dinner  or  a  supper,  call  not  thy  friends,  nor  thy 
brethren,  neither  thy  kinsmen,  nor  thy  rich  neighbours;  lest 
they  also  bid  thee  again,  and  a  recompense  be  made  thee. 

13  But  when  thou  makest  a  feast,  call  'the  poor,  the 
maimed,  the  lame,  the  blind : 

14  And  thou  shalt  be  blessed ;  for  they  cannot  recompense 
thee :  for  thou  shalt  be  recompensed  at  the  resurrection  of 
the  just. 

15  ^And  when  one  of  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him 
heard  these  things,  he  said  unto  him,  -^Blessed  is  he  that 
shall  eat  bread  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

16  "Then  said  he  unto  him,  A  certain  man  made  a  great 
supper,  and  bade  many : 

17  And  ''sent  his  servant  at  supper  time  to  say  to  them 
that  were  bidden,  Come ;  for  all  things  are  now  ready. 

18  And  they  all  with  one  consent  began  to  make  excuse. 
The  first  said  unto  him,  I  have  bought  a  piece  of  ground,  and 
I  must  needs  go  and  see  it :  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused. 

19  And  another  said,  I  have  bought  five  yoke  of  oxen,  and 
I  go  to  prove  them :  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused. 

20  And  another  said,  I  have  married  a  wife,  and  therefore 
I  cannot  come. 

21  So  that  servant  came,  and  shewed  his  lord  these  things. 
Then  the  master  of  the  house  being  angry  said  to  his  servant. 
Go  out  quickly  into  the  streets  and  lanes  of  the  city,  and  bring 
in  hither  the  poor,  and  the  maimed,  and  the  halt,  and  the  blind. 

22  And  the  servant  said.  Lord,  it  is  done  as  thou  hast 
commanded,  and  yet  there  is  room. 

23  And  the  lord  said  unto  the  servant.  Go  out  into  the 
highways  and  hedges,  and  compel  them  to  come  in,  that  my 
house  may  be  filled. 

24  For  I  say  unto  you,  'That  none  of  those  men  which 
were  bidden,  shall  taste  of  my  supper. 

25  ^And  there  went  great  multitudes  with  him :  and  he 
turned,  and  said  unto  them, 

26  *If  any  man  come  to  me,  'and  hate  not  his  fether,  and 
mother,  and  wife,  and  children,  and  brethren,  and  sisters, 
■"yea,  and  his  own  life  also,  he  cannot  be  my  disciple. 

27  And  "whosoever  doth  not  bear  his  cross,  and  come  after 
me,  cannot  be  my  disciple. 

28  For  "which  of  you,  intending  to  build  a  tower,  sitteth 
not  down  first,  and  counteth  the  cost,  whether  he  have  suffi- 
cient to  finish  it? 

29  Lest  haply,  after  he  hath  laid  the  foundation,  and  is  not 
able  to  finish  it,  all  that  behold  it  begin  to  mock  him, 

30  Saying, This  man  began  tobuild,and  vvasnotabletofini.sh. 

31  Or  what  king,  going  to  make  war  against  another  king, 
sitteth  not  down  first,  and  consulteth  whether  he  be  able 
with  ten  thousand  to  meet  him  that  cometh  against  him  with 
twenty  thousand? 


'an  ass  or  an   ox  &llen  into   a  well,  and  will  not 
6 straightway  draw  him  up  on  a  sabbath  day?    And 

they  could  not  answer  again  unto  these  things. 
7      And   he   spake  a  parable  unto  those  which  were 

bidden,  when  he  marked   how   they   chose   out  the 
8 chief  seats;  saying  unto  them,When  thou  art  bidden 

of  any  man  to  a  marriage  feast,  ^sit  not  down  in  the 

chief  seat;  lest  haply  a  more  honourable  man  than 
9  thou  be  bidden  of  him,  and  he  that  bade  thee  and  him. 

shall  come  and  say  to  thee.  Give  this  man  place; 

and  then  thou  shalt  begin  with  shame  to  take  the 

10  lowest  place.  But  when  thou  art  bidden,  go  and  sit 
down  in  the  lowest  place;  that  when  he  that  hath 
bidden  thee  cometh,  he  may  say  to  thee.  Friend,  go 
up  higher:    then  shalt  thou  have  glory  in  the  pres- 

1 1  ence  of  all  that  sit  at  meat  with  thee.  For  every 
one  that  exalteth  himself  shall  be  humbled ;  and  he 
that  humbleth  himself  shall  be  exalted. 

12  And  he  said  to  him  also  that  had  bidden  him. 
When  thou  makest  a  dinner  or  a  supper,  call  not 
thy  friends,  nor  thy  brethren,  nor  thy  kinsmen,  nor 
rich  neighbours ;  lest  haply  they  also  bid  thee  again, 

13  and  a  recompense  be  made  thee.  But  when  thou 
makest  a  feast,  bid  the  poor,  the  maimed,  the  lame, 

14  the  blind :  and  thou  shalt  be  blessed ;  because  they 
have  not  wherewith  to  recompense  thee :  for  thou 
shalt  be  recompensed  in  the  resurrection  of  the 
just. 

15  And  when  one  of  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him 
heard  these  things,  he  said  unto  him.  Blessed  is  he 

16  that  shall  eat  bread  in  the  kingdom  of  God.  But  he 
said  unto  him,  A  certain  man  made  a  great  supper ; 

17  and  he  bade  many:  and  he  sent  forth  his  'servant  at 
supper  time  to  say  to  them  that  were  bidden.  Come ; 

18  for  all  things  are  now  ready.  And  they  all  with  one 
consent  began  to  make  excuse.  The  first  said  unto 
him,  I  have  bought  a  field,  and  I  must  needs  go  out 

19 and  see  it:  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused.  And  an- 
other said,  I  have  bought  five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I 
go  to  prove  them :    I  pray  thee   have  me  excused. 

20  And  another  said,  I  have  married  a  wife,  and  there- 

21  fore  I  cannot  come.  And  the  'servant  came,  and 
told  his  lord  these  things.  Then  the  master  of  the 
house  being  angry  said  to  his  'servant,  Go  out 
quickly  into  the  streets  and  lanes  of  the  city,  and 
bring  in  hither  the  poor  and  maimed  and  blind  and 

22  lame.     And  the  'servant  said.  Lord,  what  thou  didst 

23  command  is  done,  and  yet  there  is  room.  And  the 
lord  said  unto  the  'servant.  Go  out  into  the  high- 
ways and    hedges,  and  constrain  them  to  come  in, 

24  that  my  house  may  be  filled.  For  I  say  unto  you, 
that  none  of  those  men  which  were  bidden  shall  taste 
of  my  supper. 

25  Now  there  went  with  him  great  multitudes:  and 

26  he  turned,  and  said  unto  them.  If  any  man  cometh 
unto  me,  and  hateth  not  his  own  father,  and  mother, 
and  wife,  and  children,  and  brethren,  and  sisters,  yea, 

27  and  his  own  life  also,  he  cannot  be  my  disciple.  AY ho- 
soever  doth  not  bear  his  own  cross,  and  come  after 

28  me,  cannot  be  my  disciple.  For  which  of  you,  desir- 
ing to  build  a  tower,  doth  not  first  sit  down  and  count 
the  cost,  whether  he  have  wherewith  to  complete  it  ? 

29  Lest  haply,  when  he  hath  laid  a  foundation,  and  is 
notable  to  finish,  all  that  behold  begin  to  mock  him, 

30 saying,  This  man  began  to  build,  and  was  not  able 

31  to  finish.     Or  what  king,  as  he  goeth  to  encounter 

another  king  in  war,  will  not  sit  down  first  and  take 

counsel  whether  he  is  able  with  ten  thousand  to  meet 

him  that  cometh  against  him  with  twenty  thousand?

CHAPTER    XV. 

The  parable  of  the  lost  sheep  ;  of  the  piece  of  silver  ;  of  the  prodigal  son. 

THEN  "drew  near  unto  him  all  the  publicans  and  sinners 
for  to  hear  him. 

2  And  the  Phar'i-sees  and  scribes  murmured,  saying,  This 
man  receiveth  sinners,  'and  eateth  with  them. 

3  ^And  he  spake  this  parable  unto  them,  saying, 

4  "What  man  of  you  having  a  hundred  sheep,  if  he 
lose  one  of  them,  doth  not  leave  the  ninety  and  nine  in 
the  wilderness,  and  go  after  that  which  is  lost,  until  he 
find  it? 

5  And  when  he  hath  found  it,  he  layeth  it  on  his  shoulders, 
rejoicing. 

6  And  when  he  cometh  home,  he  calleth  together  hia  friends 
and  neighbours,  saying  unto  them,  Rejoice  with  me;  for  I 
have  found  my  sheep  ''which  was  lost. 

7. 1  say  unto  you,  that  likewise  joy  shall  be  in  heaven  over 
one  sinner  that  repenteth,  'more  than  over  ninety  and  nine 
just  persons,  which  need  no  repentance. 

8  ^Either  what  woman  having  ten  ||  pieces  of  silver,  if  she 
lose  one  piece,  doth  not  light  a  candle,  and  sweep  the  house, 
and  seek  diligently  till  she  find  it  f 

9  And  when  she  hath  found  it  she  calleth  her  friends  and 
her  neighbours  together,  saying,  Rejoice  with  me ;  for  I  have 
found  the  piece  which  I  had  lost. 

10  Likewise,  I  say  unto  you.  There  is  joy  in  the  presence 
of  the  angels  of  God  over  one  sinner  that  repenteth. 

11  l|And  he  said,  A  certain  man  had  two  sons: 

12  And  the  youngerof  them  said  to  his  father.  Father,  give 
me  the  portion  of  goods  that  falleth  to  me.  And  he  divided 
unto  them  -'Ais  living. 

13  And  not  many  days  after  the  younger  son  gathered  all 
together,  and  took  his  journey  into  a  ::ar  country,  and  there 
wasted  his  substance  with  riotous  living. 

14  And  when  he  had  spent  all,  there  arose  a  mighty 
famine  in  that  land ;  and  he  began  to  be  in  want. 

15  And  he  went  and  joined  himself  to  a  citizen  of  that 
country ;  and  he  sent  him  into  his  fields  to  feed  swine. 

16  And  he  would  fain  have  filled  his  belly  with  the  I  'sks 
that  the  swine  did  eat:  and  no  man  gave  unto  him. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  himself,  he  said,  How  many  hired 
servants  of  my  father's  have  bread  enough  and  to  spare,  and 
I  perish  with  hunger ! 

18  I  will  arise  and  go  to  my  father,  and  will  say  unto  him, 
Father,  I  have  sinned  against  heaven,  and  before  thee, 

19  And  am  no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son :  make 
me  as  one  of  thy  hired  servants. 

20  And  he  arose,  and  came  to  his  father.  But  "when  he 
was  yet  a  great  way  off,  his  father  saw  him,  and  had  com- 
passion, and  ran,  and  fell  on  his  neck,  and  kissed  him. 

21  And  the  son  said  unto  him.  Father,  I  have  sinned 
against  heaven,  ''and  in  thy  sight,  and  am  no  more  worthy 
to  be  called  thy  son. 

22  But  the  father  .said  to  his  servants,  Bring  forth  the  best 
robe,  and  put  it  on  him;  and  put  a  ring  on  his  hand,  and 
shoes  on  his  feet : 

23  And  bring  hither  the  fatted  calf,  and  kill  it;  and  let  us 
eat,  and  be  merry  : 

24  *For  this  my  son  was  dead,  and  is  alive  again ;  he  was 
lost,  and  is  found.     And  they  began  to  be  merry. 


32  Or  else,  while  the  other  is  yet  a  great  way  off,  he 
sendeth  an   ambassage,   and   asketh    conditions  of 

33  peace.  So  therefore  whosoever  he  be  of  you  that 
renounceth  not  all  that  he  hath,  he  cannot   be   my 

34  disciple.  Salt  therefore  is  good:  but  if  even  the  salt 
have  lost  its  savour,  wherewith  shall  it  be  seasoned  ? 

35 It  is  fit  neither  for  the  land  nor  for  the  dunghill: 
men  cast  it  out.  He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him 
hear. 

-1-0  Xow  all  the  publicans  and  sinners  were  drawing 

2  near  unto  him  for  to  hear  him.  And  both  the 
Phar'i-sees  and  the  scribes  murmured,  saying.  This 
man  receiveth  sinners,  and  eateth  with  them. 

3  And   he  spake  unto  them    this  parable,  saying, 

4  What  man  of  you,  having  a  hundred  sheep,  and 
having  lost  one  of  them,  doth  not  leave  the  ninety 
and  nine  in  the  wildernes.s,  and  go  after  that  which 

5 is  lost,  until  he  find  it?  And  when  he  hath 
found  it,  he    layeth  it  on   his  shoulders,   rejoicing. 

6  And  when  he  cometh  home,  he  calleth  together 
his  friends  and  his  neighbours,  saying  unto  them. 
Rejoice  with  me,  for  I  have  found  my  sheep  which 

7  was  lost.  I  say  unto  you,  that  even  so  there  shall 
be  joy  in  heaven  over  one  sinner  that  repenteth,  more 
than  over  ninety  and  nine  righteous  persons,  which 
need  no  repentance. 

8  Or  what  woman  having  ten  'pieces  of  silver,  if  she 
lose  one  piece,  doth  not  light  a  lamp,  and  sweep  the 

9 house,  and  seek  diligently  until  she  find  it?  And 
when  she  hath  found  it,  she  calleth  together  her 
friends  and    neighbours,  saying,   Rejoice    with  me, 

10  for  I  have  found  the  piece  which  I  had  lost.  Even 
so,  I  say  unto  you,  there  is  joy  in  the  presence  of 
the  angels  of  God  over  one  sinner  that  repenteth. 

11  And    he    said,    A    certain    man    had   two    sons: 

12  and  the  younger  of  them  said  to  his  father,  Father, 
give  me  the  portion  of  Hhy  substance  that  falleth  to 

13  me.  And  he  divided  unto  them  his  living.  And 
not  many  days  after  the  younger  son  gathered  all 
together,  and  took  his  journey  into  a  far  country ; 
and  there  he  wasted  his  substance  with  riotous  liv- 

14ing.  And  when  he  had  spent  all,  there  arose  a 
mighty   famine   in    that  country;  and  he   began  to 

15  be  in  want.  And  he  went  and  joined  himself  to 
one   of  the  citizens  of  that   country;  and    he    sent 

16  him  into  his  fields  to  feed  swine.  And  he  would 
fain  have  been  filled  with  'the  husks  that  the  swine 

17 did  eat:  and  no  man  gave  unto  him.  But  when 
he  came  to  himself  he  said.  How  many  hired  serv- 
ants  of   my    father's    have    bread    enough    and    to 

18 spare,  and  I  perish  here  with  hunger!  I  will  arise 
and  go  to  my  father,  and  will  say  unto  him,  Fa- 
ther, I  have    sinned   against    heaven,  and    in    thy 

19 sight:  I  am  no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son: 

20  make  me  as  one  of  thy  hired  servants.  And  he 
arose,  and  came  to  his  father.  But  while  he  was  yet 
afar  off,  his  fatVer  saw  him,  and  was  moved  with

26  Now  his  elder  son  was  in  tke  field:  and  as  he  came 
and  drew  nigh  to  the  house,  he  heard  music  and  dancing. 

26  And  he  called  one  of  the  servants,  and  asked  what 
these  things  meant. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thy  brother  is  come ;  and  thy 
father  hath  killed  the  fetted  calf,  because  he  hath  received 
him  safe  and  sound. 

28  And  he  was  angry,  and  would  not  go  in :  therefore 
came  his  father  out,  and  entreated  him. 

29  And  he  answering  said  to  his  father,  Lo,  these  many 
years  do  I  serve  thee,  neither  transgressed  I  at  any  time 
thy  commandment;  and  yet  thou  never  gavest  me  a  kid, 
that  I  might  make  merry  with  my  friends: 

30  Bui  as  soon  as  this  thy  son  was  come,  which  hath  devoured 
thy  living  with  harlots,  thou  hast  killed  for  him  the  fatted  calf. 

31  And  he  said  unto  him.  Son,  thou  art  ever  with  me,  and 
all  that  1  have  is  thine. 

32  It  was  meet  that  we  should  make  merry,  and  be  glad : 
*for  this  thy  brother  was  dead,  and  is  alive  again ;  and  was 
lost,  and  is  found. 

CHAPTER   XVI. 

The  unjust  steward— Hypocrisy  of  the  covetous  Pharisees  reproved^  &c. 

AND  he  said  also  unto  his  disciples,  There  was  a  certain 
rich  man  which  had  a  steward ;  and  the  same  was  ac- 
cused unto  him  that  he  had  wasted  his  goods. 

2  And  he  called  him,  and  said  unto  him.  How  is  it  that 

I  hear  this  of  thee  ?   give  an  account  of  thy  stewardship ; 
for  thou  mayest  be  no  longer  steward. 

3  Then  the  steward  said  within  himself,  What  shall  I  do  ? 
for  my  lord  taketh  away  from  me  the  stewardship :  I  cannot 
dig ;  to  beg  I  am  ashamed. 

4  I  am  resolved  what  to  do,  that,  when  I  am  put  out  of  the 
stewardship,  they  may  receive  me  into  their  houses. 

5  So  he  called  every  one  of  his  lord's  debtors  unio  him, 
and  said  unto  the  first.  How  much  owest  thou  unto  my  lord  ? 

6  And  he  said,  A  hundred  ||  measures  of  oil.  And  he  said 
unto  him,  Take  thy  bill,  and  sit  down  quickly,  and  write  fifty. 

7  Then  said  he  to  another,  And  how  much  owest  thou? 
And  he  said,  A  hundred  |1  measures  of  wheat.  And  he  said 
unto  him.  Take  thy  bill,  and  write  fourscore. 

8  And  the  lord  commended  the  unjust  steward,  because 
he  had  done  wisely :  for  the  children  of  this  world  are  in 
their  generation  wiser  than  "the  children  of  light. 

9  And  I  say  unto  you,  ""Make  to  yourselves  friends  of  the 

II  mammon  of  unrighteousness;  that,  when  ye  fail,  they  may 
receive  you  into  everlasting  habitations. 

10  "He  that  is  faithful  in  that  which  is  least  is  faithful 
also  in  much:  and  he  that  is  unjust  in  the  least  is  unjust 
also  in  much. 

11  If  therefore  ye  have  not  been  faithful  in  the  unrighteous 
II  mammon,  who  will  commit  to  your  trust  the  true  riches  f 

12  And  if  ye  have  not  been  faithful  in  that  which  is  an- 
other man's,  who  shall  give  you  that  which  is  your  own  ? 

13  ^''No  servant  can  serve  two  masters:  for  either  he  will 
hate  the  one,  and  love  the  other;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the 
one,  and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot  serve  God  and 
mammon. 

14  And  the  Phar'i-sees  also,  'who  were  covetous,  heard  all 
these  things :  and  they  derided  him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  they  which  -justify 
yourselves  before  men  ;  but  "God  knoweth  your  hearts :  for 
Hhat  which  is  highly  esteemed  among  men  is  abomination 
in  the  sight  of  God. 

16  'The  law  and  the  prophets  were  until  John:  since  that 
time  the  kingdom  of  God  is  preached,  and  every  man 
presseth  into  it. 

17  *And  it  is  easier  for  heaven  and  earth  to  pass,  than  one 
tittle  of  the  law  to  fail. 

18  'Whosoever    putteth    away    his    wife,   and    marrieth 


25  Now  his  elder  son  was  in  the  field :  and  as  he  came 
and  drew  nigh  to  the  house,  he   heard  music  and 

26  dancing.  And  he  called  to  him  one  of  the  'serv- 
ants,   and    inquired    what    these   things  might    be. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thy  brother  is  come ;  and 
thy   father  hath   killed   the  fatted  calf,  because  he 

28  hath  received  him  safe  and  sound.  But  he  was 
angry,  and  would  not  go  in :  and  his  father  came 

29  out,  and  intreated  him.  But  he  answered  and  said 
to  his  father,  Lo,  these  many  years  do  I  serve 
thee,  and  I  never  transgressed  a  commandment 
of  thine :  and  yet  thou  never  gavest  me  a  kid,  that 

301  might  make  merry  with  my  friends:  but  when 
this  thy  son  came,  which  hath  devoured  thy  living 
with  harlots,  thou  killedst  for  him   the   fatted  calf. 

31  And  he  said  unto  him,  ^Son,  thou  art  ever  with  me, 

32  and  all  that  is  mine  is  thine.  But  it  was  meet  to 
make  merry  and  be  glad:  for  this  thy  brother  was 
dead,  and  is  alive  again;  and  was  lost,  and  is 
found. 

-LO  And  he  said  also  unto  the  disciples.  There  was  a 
certain  rich  man,  which  had  a  steward ;  and  the 
same  was  accused   unto   him  that  he  was  wasting 

2  his  goods.  And  he  called  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  What  is  this  that  I  hear  of  thee?  render  the 
account  of  thy  stewardship ;    for  thou  canst  be  no 

3  longer  steward.  And  the  steward  said  within  him- 
self, What  shall  I  do,  seeing  that  my  lord  taketh 
away  the  stewardship  from  me  ?  I  have  not  strength 

4 to  dig;  to  beg  I  am  ashamed.  I  am  resolved  what 
to  do,  that,  when  I  am  put  out  of  the  stewardship, 

5  they  may  receive  me  into  their  hou.ses.  And  call- 
ing to  him  each  one  of  his  lord's  debtors,  he  said 
to  the  first,  How  much  owest  thou  unto  my  lord  ? 

6  And  he  said,  A  hundred  ^measures  of  oil.  And  he 
said  unto  him.  Take  thy  *bond,  and  sit  down  quickly 

7  and  write  fifty.  Then  said  he  to  another,  And  how 
much  owest  thou  ?  And  he  said,  A  hundred  'meas- 
ures of  wheat.     He  saith  unto  him.  Take  thy  ''bond, 

8  and  write  fourscore.  And  his  lord  commended 'the 
unrighteous  steward  because  he  had  done  wisely: 
for  the  sons  of  this  'world  are  for  their  own  gener- 

9ation  wiser  than  the  sons  of  the  light.  And  I  say 
unto  you.  Make  to  yourselves  friends  'by  means  of 
the  mammon  of  unrighteousness;  that,  when  it  shall 
fail,  they  may  receive  you  into  the  eternal  taber- 
lOnacles.  He  that  is  faithful  in  a  very  little  is  faithful 
also  in  much:  and  he  that  is  unrighteous  in  a  very 

11  little  is  unrighteous  also  in  much.  If  therefore  ye 
have  not  been  faithful  in  the  unrighteous  mammon, 
who    will   commit  to   your   trust    the   true   riches  f 

12  And  if  ye  have  not  been  faithful  in  that  which  is 
another's,  who  will   give   you   that   which   is  'your 

13 own?  No  '"servant  can  serve  two  masters:  for 
either  he  will  hate  the  one,  and  love  the  other ;  or 
else  he  will  hold  to  one,  and  despise  the  other.  Ye 
cannot  serve  God  and  mammon. 

14  And  the  Phar'i-sees,  who  were  lovers  of  money, 

15  heard  all  these  things ;  and  they  scofied  at  him.  And 
he  said  unto  them,  Ye  are  they  that  justify  yourselves 
in  the  sight  of  men ;  but  God  knoweth  your  hearts: 
for  that  which  is  exalted  among  men  is  an  abomina- 

16tion  in  the  sight  of  God.  The  law  and  the  prophets 
were  until  John :  from  that  time  the  gospel  of  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  preached,  and  every  man  entereth 

17  violently  into  it.  But  it  is  easier  for  heaven  and 
earth  to  pass  away,  than  for  one  tittle  of  the  law  to  fall.

another,  committeth  adultery :  and  whosoever  marrieth  her 
that  is  put  away  from  her  husband,  committeth  adultery. 

19  ^Thera  was  a  certain  rich  man,  which  was  clothed  in 
purple  and  fine  linen,  and  fared  sumptuously  every  day: 

20  And  there  was  a  certain  beggar  named  Laz'a-rus,  which 
was  laid  at  his  gate,  full  of  sores, 

21  And  desiring  to  be  fed  with  the  crumbs  which  fellfrom  the 
rich  man's  table :  moreover  the  dogs  came  and  licked  his  sores. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass  that  the  beggar  died,  and  was 
carried  by  the  angels  into  A'bra-ham's  bosom :  the  rich  man 
also  died,  and  was  buried : 

2-3  And  in  hell  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  being  in  torments, 
and  seeth  A'bra-ham  afar  off,  and  Laz'a-rus  in  his  bosom. 

24  And  he  cried  and  said.  Father  A'bra-ham,  have  mercy  on 
me,  and  send  Laz'a-rus,  that  he  may  dip  the  tip  of  his  finger  in 
water,  and  "'cool  my  tongue;  for  I  "am  tormented  in  this  flame. 

2.5  But  A'bra-ham  said.  Son,  "remember  that  thou  in  thy 
lifetime  receivedst  thy  good  things,  and  likewise  Laz'a-rus 
evil  things :  but  now  he  is  comforted,  and  thou  art  tormented. 

26  And  besides  all  this,  between  us  and  you  there  is  a 
great  gulf  fixed  :  so  that  they  which  would  pass  from  hence 
to  you  cannot;  neither  can  they  pass  to  us,  that  would  come 
from  thence. 

27  Then  he  said,  I  pray  thee  therefore,  father,  that  thou 
wouldest  send  him  to  my  father's  house: 

28  For  I  have  five  brethren ;  that  he  may  testify  unto 
them,  lest  they  al.so  come  into  this  place  of  torment. 

29  A'bra-ham  saith  unto  him,  "They  have  Mo'ses  an-  the 
prophets ;  let  them  hear  them. 

30  And  he  said.  Nay,  father  A'bra-ham :  but  if  one  -went 
unto  them  from  the  dead,  they  will  repent. 

31  And  he  said  unto  them  if  they  hear  not  Mo'ses  and 
the  prophets,  'neither  will  they  be  persuaded,  though  one 
rose  from  the  dead. 

CHAF'TER    XVII. 

Avoid  occasions  of  offence, 

THEN   said    he   unto  the  disciples^  "It  is  impossible  but 
that  offences  will  come :  but  woe  unto  him,  through  w':^om 
they  come ! 

2  It  were  better  for  him  that  a  millstone  were  hanged 
about  his  neck,  and  he  cast  into  the  sea,  than  that  he  should 
offend  one  of  these  little  ones. 

3  ^Take  heed  to  yourselves:  'If  thy  brother  trespass 
against  thee,  "rebuke  him ;  and  if  he  repent,  forgive  him. 

4  And  if  he  trespass  against  thee  seven  times  in  a  day,  and 
seven  times  in  a  day  turn  again  to  thee,  saying,  I  repent; 
thou  shalt  forgive  him. 

5  And  the  apo.stlps  said  unto  the  Lord,  Increase  our  faith. 

6  ''And  the  Lord  said.  If  ye  had  faith  as  a  grain  of  mus- 
tard seed,  ye  might  say  unto  this  sycamine  tree.  Be  thou 
plucked  up  by  the  root,  and  be  thou  planted  in  the  sea; 
and  it  should  obey  you. 

.'  But  which  of  you,  having  a  servant  ploughing  or  feed- 
ing cattle,  will  say  unto  him  by  and  by,  when  he  is  come 
from    'le  field,  Go  and  sit  down  to  meat? 

8  And  will  not  rather  say  unto  him.  Make  ready  wherewith 
I  may  sup,  and  gird  thyself,  ''and  serve  me,  till  I  have  eaten 
and  drunken  ;  and  afterward  thou  shalt  eat  and  drink? 

9  Doth  he  thank  that  servant  because  he  did  the  things 
that  were  commanded  him  ?     I  trow  not. 

10  So  likewi.se  ye,  when  ye  shall  have  done  all  those  things 
which  are  commanded  you,  say.  We  are  ■'^unprofitable  serv- 
ants :  we  have  done  that  which  was  our  duty  to  do. 

11  %^And  it  came  to  pass,  "as  he  went  to  Je-ru'.sa-lem,  that 
he  passed  through  the  midst  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  and  Gal'i-lee. 

12  And  as  he  entered  into  a  certain  village,  there  met 
him  ten  men  that  were  lepers,  ''which  stood  afar  off: 

13  And  they  lifted  up  their  voices,  and  said,  Jesus,  Master, 
have  mercy  on  us. 


another,  committeth  adultery :  and  he  that  marrieth 
one  that  is  put  away  from  a  husband  committeth 
adultery. 

19  Now  there  was  a  certain  rich  man,  and  he  was 
clothed  in  purple  and  fine  linen,  'faring  sumptuously 

20  every  day :  and  a  certain  beggar  named  Laz'a-rus  was 

21  laid  at  his  gate,  full  of  sores,  and  desiring  to  be  fed 
with  the  crumbs  that  fell  from  the  rich  man's  table ; 

22  yea,  even  the  dogs  came  and  licked  his  sores.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that  the  beggar  died,  and  that  he  was 
carried  away  by  the  angels  into  A'bra-ham's  bosom : 

23  and  the  rich  man  also  died  and  was  buried.  And  in 
Ha'des  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  being  in  torments,  and 
seeth  A'bra-ham  afar  off,  and  Laz'a-rus  in  his  bosom. 

24  And  he  cried  and  said.  Father  A'bra-ham,  have  mercy 
on  me,  and  send  Laz'a-rus,  that  he  may  dip  the  tip  of 
his  finger  in  water,  and  cool  my  tongue ;  for  I  am  in 

25  anguish  in  this  flame.  But  A'bra-ham  said,  ^Son,  re- 
member that  thou  in  thy  lifetime  receivedst  thy  good 
things,  and  Laz'a-rus  in  like  manner  evil  things:  but 
now  here  he  is  comforted,  and  thou  art  in  anguish. 

26  And  ^beside  all  this,  between  us  and  you  there  is  a 
great  gulf  fixed,  that  they  which  would  pass  from 
hence  to  you  may  not  be  able,  and  that  none  may 

27  cross  over  from  thence  to  us.  And  he  said,  I  pray  thee 
therefore,  father,  that  thou  wouldest  send  him  to  my 

28  father's  house ;  for  I  have  five  brethren ;  that  he  may 
testify  unto  them,  lest  they  also  come  into  this  place 

29  of  torment.     But  A'bra-ham  saith.  They  have  Mo'ses 
30 and  the  prophets;  let  them  hear  them.    And  he  said, 

Nay,  father  A'bra-ham :  but  if  one  go  to  them  from 
31  the  dead,  they  will  repent.     And  he  said  unto  him, 
If  they  hear  not  Mo'ses  and  the  prophets,  neither  will 
they  be  persuaded,  if  one  rise  from  the  dead. 

i-*  And  he  said  unto  his  disciples.  It  is  impossible 
but  that  occasions  of  stumbling  should  come :    but 

2  woe  unto  him,  through  whom  they  come  !  It  were 
well  for  him  if  a  millstone  were  hanged  about  his 
neck,  and  he  were  thrown  into  the  sea,  rather  than 
that  he  should  cause  one  of  these  little  ones  to  stum- 

3  ble.      Take  heed  to   yourselves ;  if  thy  brother  sin, 

4  rebuke  him ;  and  if  he  repent,  forgive  him.  And 
if  he  sin  against  thee  seven  times  in  the  day,  and 
seven  times  turn  again  to  thee,  saying,  I  repent ; 
thou  shalt  forgive  him. 

6     And  the  apostles  said  unto  the  Lord,  Increase  our 

6  faith.  And  the  Lord  said,  If  ye  have  faith  as  a  grain 
of  mustard  seed,  ye  would  .say  unto  this  sycamine 
tree.  Be  thou  rooted  up,  and  be  thou  planted  in  the 

7 sea;  and  it  would  have  obeyed  you.  But  who  is 
there  of  you,  having  a  ^servant  plowing  or  keeping 
sheep,  that  will  say  unto  him,  when  he  is  come  in 
from  the  field.  Come   straightway  and  sit  down  to 

8 meat;  and  will  not  rather  say  unto  him.  Make 
ready  wherewith  I  may  sup,  and  gird  thyself,  and 
serve  me  till  I  have  eaten  and  drunken;  and  after- 

9  ward  thou  shalt  eat  and  drink?  Doth  he  thank  the 
^servant  because  he  did  the  things  that  were  com- 
lOmanded?  Even  so  ye  also,  when  ye  shall  have  done 
all  the  things  that  are  commanded  you,  say.  We  are 
unprofitable  ''servants ;  we  have  done  that  which  it 
was  our  duty  to  do. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  ^as  they  were  on  the  way  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  that  he  was  passing  ^through  the  midst 

12  of  Sa-ma'ri-a  and  Gal'i-lee.  And  as  he  entered  into  a 
certain  village,  there  met  him  ten  men   that  were 

13  lepers,  which  stood  afar  off:  and  they  lifted  up  their 
voices,  saying,  Jesus,  Master,   have   mercy  on   us.

14  And  when  he  saw  them,  he  said  unto  them,  *Go  shew 
yourselves  unto  the  priests.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
they  went,  they  were  cleansed. 

15  And  one  of  them,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  healed, 
turned  back,  and  with  a  loud  voice  glorified  God, 

16  And  fell  down  on  his  face  at  his  feet,  giving  him 
thanks :  and  he  was  a  Sa-mar'i-tan. 

17  And  Jesus  answering  said,  Were  there  not  ten 
cleansed  ?  but  where  are  the  nine  ? 

18  There  are  not  found  that  returned  to  give  glory  to  God, 
save  this  stranger. 

19  *And  he  said  unto  him.  Arise,  go  thy  way:  thy  faith 
hath  made  thee  whole. 

20  TIAnd  when  he  was  demanded  of  the  Phar'i-sees,  when 
the  kingdom  of  God  should  come,  he  answered  them  and 
said, The  kingdom  of  God  cometh  not  ||with  observation: 

21  'Neither  shall  they  say,  Lo  here !  or,  Lo  there !  for,  be- 
hold, ""the  kingdom  of  God  is  ||  within  you. 

22  And  he  said  unto  the  disciples,  "The  days  will  come, 
when  ye  shall  desire  to  see  one  of  the  days  of  the  Son  of 
man,  and  ye  shall  not  .see  it. 

23  "And  they  shall  say  to  you,  See  here ;  or,  See  there : 
go  not  after  them,  nor  follow  them. 

24  ''Forasthe  lightning,  that  lighteneth  out  of  the  one  7>ar< 
under  heaven,  shineth  unto  the  other  part  under  heaven ; 
so  shall  also  the  Son  of  man  be  in  his  day. 

25  'But  first  must  he  suffer  many  things,  and  be  rejected 
of  this  generation. 

26  ""And  as  it  was  in  the  days  of  No'e,  so  shall  it  be  also 
in  the  days  of  the  Son  of  man. 

27  They  did  eat,  they  drank,  they  married  wives,  they  were 
given  in  marriage,  until  the  day  that  No'e  entered  into  the 
ark,  and  the  flood  came,  and  destroyed  them  all. 

28  'Likewise  also  as  it  was  in  the  days  of  Lot;  they  did 
eat,  they  drank,  they  bought,  they  sold,  they  planted,  they 
builded; 

29  'But  the  same  day  that  Lot  went  out  of  Sod'om  it  rained 
fire  and  brimstone  from  heaven,  and  destroyed  them  all. 

30  Even  thus  shall  it  be  in  the  day  when  the  Son  of  man 
"is  revealed. 

31  In  that  day,  he  "which  shall  be  upon  the  housetop,  and 
his  stuff  in  the  house,  let  him  not  come  down  to  take  it 
away :  and  he  that  is  in  the  field,  let  him  likewise  not  re- 
turn back. 

32  "Remember  Lot's  wife. 

33  "Whosoever  shall  seek  to  save  his  life  shall  lose  it; 
and  whosoever  shall  lose  his  life  shall  preserve  it. 

34  °I  tell  you,  in  that  night  there  shall  be  two  men  in  one 
bed;  the  one  shall  be  taken,  and  the  other  shall  be  left. 

35  Two  women  shall  be  grinding  together;  the  one  shall 
be  taken,  and  the  other  left. 

36  II  Two  men  shall  be  in  the  field ;  the  one  shall  be  taken, 
and  the  other  left. 

37  And  they  answered  and  said  unto  him, 'Where,  Lord? 
And  he  said  unto  them.  Wheresoever  the  body  is,  thither 
will  the  eagles  be  gathered  together. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

The  importunate  widow. 

AND  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them  to  this  end,  that  men 
ought  "always  to  pray,  and  not  to  faint; 

2  Saying,  There  was  fin  a  city  a  judge,  which  feared  not 
God,  neither  regarded  man  : 

3  And  there  was  a  widow  in  that  city ;  and  she  came  unto 
him,  saying.  Avenge  me  of  mine  adversary. 

4  And  he  would  not  for  a  while :  but  afterward  he  said 
within  himself.  Though  I  fear  not  God,  nor  regard  man ; 

5  'Yet  because  this  widow  troubleth  me,  I  will  avenge 
her,  lest  by  her  continual  coming  she  weary  me. 

6  And  the  Lord  said,  Hear  what  the  unjust  judge  saith. 


14  And  when  he  saw  them,  he  said  unto  them.  Go 
and  shew  yourselves  unto  the  priests.     And  it  came 

15  to  pass,  as  they  went,  they  were  cleansed.  And 
one    of  them,  when    he  saw    that  he   was   healed, 

16 turned  back,  with  a  loud  voice  glorifying  God;  and 

he  fell  upon  his  face  at  his  feet, giving  him  thanks: 
17  and  he  was  a  Sa-mar'i-tan.     And  J^sus  answering 

said,  Were  not  the  ten  cleansed?  but  where  are  the 
18 nine?  'Were  there  none  found  that  returned  to 
19 give   glory  to  God,  save  this  ^stranger?     And   he 

said   unto   him.  Arise,  and   go   thy    way :  thy    faith 

hath  'made  thee  whole. 

20  And  being  asked  by  the  Phar'i-sees,  when  the  king- 
dom of  God  cometh,  he  answered  them  and  said, 
The  kingdom  of  God  cometh  not  with  observation : 

21  neither  shall  they  say,  Lo,  here!  or.  There!  for  lo, 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  Svithin  you. 

22  And  he  said  unto  the  disciples.  The  days  will 
come,  when  ye  shall  desire  to  see   one  of  the  days 

23  of  the  Son  of  man,  and  ye  shall  not  see  it.  And 
they  shall   say  to  you,  Lo,   there !    Lo,   here !   go 

24 not  away,  nor  follow  after  them:  for  as  the  light- 
ning, when  it  lighteneth  out  of  the  one  part  under 
the  heaven,  shineth  unto  the  other  part  under 
heaven ;  so  shall  the  Son  of  man  be  'in  his  day. 
25  But  first  must  he  suffer  many  things  and  be  re- 
26jected  of  this  generation.  And  as  it  came  to  pass 
in  the  days  of  No'ah,  even  so  shall  it  be  also  in  the 

27  days  of  the  Son  of  man.  They  ate,  they  drank, 
they  married,  they  were  given  in  marriage,  until 
the  day   that   No'ah  entered  into  the  ark,  and  the 

28  flood  came,  and  destroyed  them  all.  Likewise 
even  as  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  Lot;  they 
ate,    they    drank,    they    bought,    they    sold,    they 

29  planted,  they  builded :  but  in  the  day  that  Lot 
went  out  from  Sod'om  it  rained  fire  and  brimstone 

30 from  heaven,  and  destroyed  them  all:  after  the 
same  manner  shall   it  be  in  the  day  that  the  Son 

31  of  man  is  irevealed.  In  that  day,  he  which  shall 
be  on  the  housetop,  and  his  goods  in  the  house, 
let  him  not  go  down  to  take  them  away:  and  let 

32  him  that  is  in  the  field  likewise  not  return  back.    Re- 

33  member  Lot's  wife.  Whosoever  shall  seek  to  gain 
his  'life  shall   lose  it:  but  whosoever  shall  lose  his 

S4^life  shall  'preserve  it.  I  say  unto  you.  In  that 
night  there  shall  be  two  men  in  one  bed ;  the  one 

35  shall  be  taken,  and  the  other  shall  be  left.  There 
shall  be   two  women   grinding  together;    the   one 

37  shall  be  taken,  and  the  other  shall  be  left.'  And 
they  answering  say  unto  him.  Where,  Lord?  And 
he  said  unto  them.  Where  the  body  w,  thither  will 
the  'eagles  also  be  gathered  together. 

AO     And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them  to  the  end  that 

2 they  ought  always  to  pray,  and  not  to  faint;  saying, 

There  was  in  a  city  a  judge,  which  feared  not  God, 

3  and  regarded  not  man :  and  there  was  a  widow  in 
that  city  ;  and  she  came  oft  unto  him,  saying,  '"Avenge 

4  me  of  mine  adversary.  And  he  would  not  for  a 
while  :  but  afterward  he  said  within  himself.  Though 

51  fear  not  God,  nor  regard  man;  yet  because  this 
widow  troubleth    me,   I    will  avenge   her,  lest   she 

6"wear  me  out  by  her  continual  coming.  And  the 
Lord  said.  Hear  what  "the  unrighteous  judge  saith.

7  And  "slaall  not  God  avenge  his  own  elect,  wnioh  cry  day 
and  night  unto  him,  though  he  bear  long  with  them  ? 

8  I  tell  you  "that  he  will  avenge  them  speedily.  Never- 
theless, when  the  Son  of  man  cometh,  shall  he  find  faith 
on  the  earth? 

9  And  he  spake  this  parable  unto  certain  'which  trusted  in 
themselves  ythat  they  wore  righteous,  and  despised  others: 

10  Two  men  went  up  into  the  temple  to  pray;  the  one  a 
Phar'i-see,  and  the  other  a  publican. 

11  The  Phar'i-see  -^stood  and  prayed  thus  with  him.self, 
"God,  I  thank  thee  that  I  am  not  as  other  men  are,  extor- 
tioners, unjust,  adulterers,  or  even  as  this  publican. 

12  1  fast  twice  in  the  week,  I  give  tithes  of  all  that  I  possess. 

13  And  the  publican,  standing  afar  off,  would  not  lift  up  so 
much  as  his  eyes  unto  heaven,  but  smote  upon  his  breast, 
saying,  God  be  merciful  to  me  a  sinner. 

14  1  tell  you,  this  man  went  down  to  his  house  justified 
rather  than  the  other:  'for  every  one  that  exalteth  himself 
shall  be  abased;  and  he  that  humbleth  himself  shall  be 
exalted. 

15  'And  they  brought  unto  him  also  infants,  that  he  would 
touch  them :  but  when  his  disciples  saw  it,  they  rebuked 
them. 

16  But  Jesus  called  them  unto  him,  and  said.  Suffer  little 
children  to  come  unto  me,  and  forbid  them  not :  for  *of  such 
is  the  kingdom  of  God. 

17  'Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Whosoever  shall  not  receive  the 
kingdom  of  God  as  a  little  child  shall  in  no  wise  enter  therein. 

18  "And  a  certain  ruler  asked  him,  saying,  Good  Master, 
what  shall  I  do  to  inherit  eternal  life? 

19  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Why  callest  thou  me  good? 
none  is  good  save  one,  that  is,  God. 

20  Thou  knowest  the  commandments,  "Do  not  commit 
adultery.  Do  not  kill,  Do  not  steal.  Do  not  bear  false  wit- 
ness, "Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother. 

21  And  he  said,  All  these  have  I  kept  from  my  youth  up. 

22  Now  when  Jesus  heard  these  things,  he  said  unto  him. 
Yet  lackest  thou  one  thing:  "sell  all  that  thou  hast,  and  dis- 
tribute unto  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have  treasure  in  heaven: 
and  come,  follow  me. 

23  And  when  he  heard  this,  he  was  very  sorrowful :  for  he 
was  ver}'  rich. 

24  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he  was  very  sorrowful,  he 
said,  'How  hardly  shall  they  that  have  riches  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  God ! 

25  For  it  is  easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through  a  needle's 
eye,  than  for  a  rich  man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

26  And  they  that  heard  it  said,  Who  then  can  be  saved  ? 

27  And  he  said,  ''The  things  which  are  impossible  with  men 
are  po.ssible  with  God. 

28  'Then  Pe'ter  said,  Lo,  we  have  left  all,  arl  followed  thee. 

29  And  he  said  unto  them,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  'There 
is  no  man  that  hath  left  house,  or  parents,  or  brethren,  or 
wife,  or  children,  for  the  kingdom  of  God's  sake, 

30  "Who  shall  not  receive  manifold  more  in  this  present 
time,  and  in  the  world  to  come  life  everlasting. 

31  ^^Then  he  took  unto  him  the  twelve,  and  said  unto 
them,  Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  things  "that 
are  written  by  the  prophets  concerning  the  Son  of  man  shall 
be  accomplished. 

32  For  ^he  shall  be  delivered  unto  the  Gentiles,  and  shall 
be  mocked,  and  spitefully  entreated,  and  spitted  on : 

33  And  they  shall  scourge  him,  and  put  him  to  death ;  and 
the  third  day  he  shall  rise  again. 

34  "And  they  understood  none  of  these  things:  and  this 
saying  was  hid  from  them,  neither  knew  they  the  things 
which  were  spoken. 

35  ^'And  it  came  to  pass,  that  as  he  was  come  nigh  unto 
Jer'i-cho,  a  certain  blind  man  sat  by  the  way  side,  begging: 


7  And  shall  not  God  avenge  his  elect,  which  cry  to 
him  day  and  night,  and  he  is  longsuffering  over 
8 them?  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  will  avenge  them 
speedily.  Howbeit  when  the  Son  of  man  cometh, 
shall  he  find  'faith  on  the  earth  ? 
9  And  he  spake  also  this  parable  unto  certain  which 
trusted  in  themselves  that  they  were  righteous,  and 

lOset  ^all  others  at  nought:  Two  men  went  up  into 
the  temple  to  pray;  the  one  a  Phar'i-see,  and  the 

11  other  a  publican.  The  Phar'i-see  stood  and  prayed 
thus  with  himself,  God,  I  thank  thee,  that  I  am  not 
as  the  rest  of  men,  extortioners,  unjust,  adulterers, 

12 or  even  as  this  publican.     I  fast  twice  in  the  week; 

131  give  tithes  of  all  that  I  get.  But  the  publican, 
standing  afar  of,  would  not  lift  up  so  much  as  his 
eyes  unto  heaven,  but  smote  his  breast,  saying,  God, 

14 ''be  merciful  to  me,  ^a  sinner.  I  say  unto  you,  This 
man  went  down  to  his  house  justified  rather  than 
the  other :  for  every  one  that  exalteth  himself  shall 
be  humbled ;  but  he  that  humbleth  himself  shall  be 
exalted. 

15  And  they  brought  unto  him  also  their  babes,  that 
he  should  touch  them:  but  when  the  disciples  saw 

16  it,  they  rebuked  them.  But  Jesus  called  them  unto 
him,  saying,  Suffer  the  little  children  to  come  unto 
me,  and  forbid  them  not :  for  of  such  is  the  kingdom 

17  of  God.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever  shall 
not  receive  the  kingdom  of  God  as  a  little  child,  he 
shall  in  no  wise  enter  therein. 

18  And  a  certain  ruler  asked  him,  saying,  Good 
'Master,  what  shall  I  do  to   inherit  eternal   life? 

19  And   Jesus  said  unto   him.  Why  callest  thou   me 
20 good?    none  is   good   save   one,   even  God.     Thou 

knowest  the  commandments,  Do  not  commit  adul- 
tery. Do  not  kill.  Do  not  steal,  Do  not  bear  false 

21  witness,  Honour  thy  father  and  mother.  And  he 
said.  All  these   things  have  I  observed  from  my 

22  youth  up.  And  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  said  unto 
him,  One  thing  thou  lackest  yet:  sell  all  that  thou 
hast,  and  distribute  unto  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt 

23  have  treasure  in  heaven :  and  come,  follow  me.  But 
when  he  heard  these  things,  he  became  exceeding 

24 sorrowful;  for  he  was  very  rich.  And  Jesus  seeing 
him  said.  How  hardly  shall  they  that  have  riches 

25  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God !  For  it  is  easier  for 
a  camel  to  enter  in  through  a  needle's  eye,  than  for 

26  a  rich  man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God.  And 
they  that  heard  it  said.  Then  who  can  be  saved? 

27  But  he  said,  The  things  which  are  impossible  with 

28  men  are  possible  with  God.     And  Pe'ter  said,  Lo, 

29  we  have  left  *our  own,  and  followed  thee.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  There  is  no 
man  that  hath  left  house,  or  wife,  or  brethren,  or 
parents,  or  children,  for  the  kingdom  of  God's  sake, 

30  who  shall  not  receive  manifold  more  in  this  time, 
and  in  the  'world  to  come  eternal  life. 

31  And  he  took  unto  him  the  twelve,  and  said  unto 
them.  Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  all  the 
things  that  are  written  *by  the  prophets  shall  be  ac- 

32complished  unto  the  Son  of  man.  For  he  shall  be 
delivered  up  unto  the  Gentiles,  and  shall  be  mocked, 

33 and  shamefully  entreated,  and  spit  upon:  and  they 
shall  scourge  and  kill  him:  and  the  third  day  he 

34  shall  rise  again.  And  they  understood  none  of  these 
things;  and  this  saying  was  hid  from  them,  and  they 
perceived  not  the  things  that  were  said. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  drew  nigh  unto  Jer'i-cho, 
a  certain  blind  man  sat  by  the  way  side,  begging:

36  And  hearing  the  multitude  pass  by,  he  asked  what  it 
meant. 

37  And  they  told  him,  that  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth  passeth  by. 

38  And  he  cried,  saying,  Jesus,  thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have 
mercy  on  me. 

39  And  they  which  went  before  rebuked  him,  thatheshould 
hold  his  peace:  but  he  cried  so  much  the  more,  Hiou  son 
of  Da'vid,  have  mercy  on  me. 

40  And  Jesus  stood  and  commanded  him  to  be  brought 
unto  him :  and  when  he  was  come  near,  he  asked  him, 

41  Saying,  What  wilt  thou  that  I  shall  do  unto  thee?  And 
he  said,  Lord,  that  I  may  receive  my  sight. 

42  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Receive  thy  sight :  "thy  faith 
hata  saved  thee. 

43  And  immediately  he  received  his  sight,  and  followed  him, 
''glorifying  God :  and  all  the  people,  when  they  saw  it,  gave 
praise  unto  God. 

CHAPTER    XIX. 

0/  Zacckeus  the  publican. 

AND  Jesus  entered  and  passed  through  Jer'i-cho. 
2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  man  named  Zac-che'us,  which 
was  the  chief  among  the  publicans,  and  he  was  rich. 

3  And  he  sought  to  see  Jesus  who  he  was ;  and  could  not 
for  the  press,  because  he  was  little  of  stature. 

4  And  he  ran  before,  and  climbed  up  into  a  sycamore  tree 
to  see  him ;  for  he  was  to  pass  that  way. 

5  And  when  Jesus  came  to  the  place,  he  looked  up,  and 
saw  him,  and  said  unto  him,  Zac-che'us,  make  haste,  and  come 
down;  for  to-day  I  must  abide  at  thy  house. 

6  And  he  made  haste,  and  came  down,  and  received  him 
joyfully. 

7  And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all  murmured,  saying,  "That 
he  was  gone  to  be  guest  with  a  man  that  is  a  sinner. 

8  And  Zac-che'us  stood,  and  said  unto  the  Lord ;  Behold, 
Lord,  the  half  of  my  goods  I  give  to  the  poor ;  and  if  I 
have  taken  any  thing  from  any  man  by  ''false  accusation,  "I 
restore  him  fourfold. 

9  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  This  day  is  salvation  come  to 
this  house,  forasmuch  as  ''he  also  is  'a  son  of  A'bra-ham. 

10  ^For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to  seek  and  to  save  that 
which  was  lost. 

11  And  as  they  heard  these  things,  he  added  and  spake  a 
parable,  because  he  was  nigh  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  because'they 
thought  that  the  kingdom  of  God  should  immediately  appear. 

12  "He  said  therefore,  A  certain  nobleman  went  into  a  far 
country  to  receive  for  himself  a  kingdom,  and  to  return. 

13  And  he  called  his  ten  servants,  and  delivered  them  ten 
II  pounds,  and  said  unto  them,  Occupy  till  I  come. 

14  'But  his  citizens  hated  him,  and  sent  a  message  after 
him,  saying,  We  will  not  have  this  man  to  reign  over  us. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  he  was  returned,  having 
received  the  kingdom,  then  he  commanded  these  servants  to 
be  called  unto  him,  to  whom  he  had  given  the  fuioney,  that 
he  might  know  how  much  every  man  had  gained  by  trading. 

16  Then  came  the  first,  saying.  Lord,  thy  pound  hath 
gained  ten  pounds. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  Well,  thou  good  servant:  be- 
cause thou  hast  been  'faithful  in  a  very  little,  have  thou 
authority  over  ten  cities. 

18  And  the  second  came,  saying,  Lord,  thy  pound  hath 
gained  five  pounds. 

19  And  he  said  likewise  to  him.  Be  thou  also  over  five  cities. 

20  And  another  came,  saying,  Lord,  behold,  here  is  thy 
pound,  which  I  have  kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin : 

21  'For  I  feared  thee,  because  thou  art  an  austere  man : 
thou  takest  up  that  thou  layedst  not  down,  and  reapest  that 
thou  didst  not  sow. 

22  And  he  saith  unto  him,  "Out  of  thine  own  mouth  will 
I  judge  thee,  thou  wicked  servant.     "Thou  knewest  that  I 


36  and   hearing  a    multitude   going  by,   he    inquired 

37  what  this  meant.     And  they  told  him  that  Jesus  of 

38  Nazareth  passeth  by.     And  he  cried,  saying,  Jesus, 

39  thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have  mercy  on  me.  And  they 
that  went  before  rebuked  him,  that  he  should  hold 
his  peace:  but  he  cried  out  the  more  a  great  deal, 

40  Thou  son  of  Da'vid,  have  mercy  on  me.  And 
Jesus  stood,  and  commanded  him  to  be  brought 
unto  him:  and  when  he  was  come  near,    he  asked 

41  him.  What  wilt  thou  that  I  should  do  unto  thee  ? 
And  he  said.   Lord,   that  I  may  receive  my  sight. 

42  And   Jesus  said  unto  him,  Receive  thy  sight :  thy 

43  faith  hath  'made  thee  whole.  And  immediately  he 
received  his  sight,  and  followed  him,  glorifying  God : 
and  all  the  people,  when  they  saw  it,  gave  praise 
unto  God. 

+V      And  he  entered  and  was  passing  through  Jer'i-cho. 

2  And  behold,  a  man  called  by  name  Zac-chse'us;  and 

3  he  was  a  chief  publican,  and  he  was  rich.  And  he 
sought  to  see  Jesus  who  he  was;  and  could  not  for 

4  the  crowd,  because  he  was  little  of  stature.  And  he 
ran  on  before,  and  climbed  up  into  a  sycomore  tree 

5  to  see  him :  for  he  was  to  pass  that  way.  And  when 
Jesus  came  to  the  place,  he  looked  up,  and  said  unto 
him,  Zac-chse'us,  make  haste,  and  come  down ;  for 

6  to-day  I  must  abide  at  thy  house.  And  he  made 
haste,  and  came  down,  and  received  him  joyfully 

7  And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all  murmured,  saying, 
He  is  gone  in  to  lodge  with  a  man  that  is  a  sinner. 

8  And  Zac-chse'us  stood,  and  said  unto  the  Lord,  Be 
hold,  Lord,  the  half  of  my  goods  I  give  to  the  poor ; 
and  if  I  have  wrongfully  exacted  aught  of  any  man, 

9  I  restore  fourfold.     And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  To 
day  is  salvation  come  to  this  house,  forasmuch  as  he 

10  also  is  a  son  of  A'bra-ham.  For  the  Son  of  man 
came  to  seek  and  to  save  that  which  was  lost. 

11  And  as  they  heard  these  things,  he  added  and 
spake  a  parable,  because  he  was  nigh  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  because  they  supposed  that  the  kingdom  of  God 

12  was  immediately  to  appear.  He  said  therefore,  A 
certain  nobleman  went  into  a  far  country,  to  receive 

13  for  himself  a  kingdom,  and  to  return.  And  he  called 
ten  ''servants  of  his,  and  gave  them  ten  ^pounds,  and 

14  said  unto  them.  Trade  ye  herewith  till  I  come.  But 
his  citizens  hated  him,  and  sent  an  amba.ssage  after 
him,  saying.  We  will  not  that  this  man  reign  over 

15  us.  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come  back 
again,  having  received  the  kingdom,  that  he  com- 
manded these  ^servants,  unto  whom  he  had  given 
the   money,  to  be    called    to   him,   that   he   might 

16  know  what  they  had  gained  by  trading.  And  the 
first    came    before    him,    saying.    Lord,    thy    pound 

17  hath  made  ten  pounds  more.  And  he  said  unto 
him.  Well  done,  thou  good  ^servant:  because  thou 
wast   found   faithful    in    a   very    little,    have   thou 

18  authority  over  ten  cities.  And  the  second  came, 
saying.  Thy  pound.  Lord,  hath  made  five  pounds. 

1 9  And  he  said  unto    him   also.    Be   thou   also    over 

20  five  cities.  And  "another  came,  saying,  Lord,  be- 
hold, here  is  thy  pound,  which  I  kept  laid    up    in 

21  a  napkin :  for  I  feared  thee,  because  thou  art  an 
austere  man :   thou  takest  up  that  thou  layedst  not 

22  down,  and  reapest  that  thou  didst  not  sow.  He 
saith  unto  him.  Out  of  thine  own  mouth  will  I  judge

was  an  austere  man,  taking  up  that  I  laid  not  down,  and 
reaping  that  I  did  not  sow : 

23  Wherefore  then  gavest  not  thou  my  money  into  the 
bank,  that  at  my  coming  I  might  have  required  mine  own 
with  usury? 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that  stood  by.  Take  from  him 
the  pound,  and  give  it  to  him  that  hath  ten  pounds. 

25  (And  they  said  unto  him,  Lord,  he  hath  ten  pounds.) 

26  For  I  say  unto  you,  "That  unto  every  one  which  hath 
shall  be  given;  and  from  him  that  hath  not,  even  that  he 
hath  shall  be  taken  away  from  him. 

27  But  those  mine  enemies,  which  would  not  that  I  should 
reign  over  them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  them  before  me. 

28  ^And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  "he  went  before,  as- 
cending up  to  Jc-ru'sa-lem. 

29  'And  it  came  to  pass,  when  '\e  was  come  nigh  to  Beth'- 
pha-ge  and  Beth'a-ny,  ai  the  mount  called  the  mount  of 
Olives,  he  sent  two  of  his  disciples, 

30  Saying,  Go  ye  into  the  village  over  against  you;  in 
the  which  at  your  entering  ye  shall  find  a  colt  tied,  whereon 
yet  never  man  sat :  loose  him,  and  bring  him  thither. 

31  And  if  any  man  ask  you,  Why  do  ye  loose  him?  thus 
shall  ye  say  unto  him.  Because  the  Lord  hath  need  of  him. 

32  And  they  that  were  sent  went  their  way,  and  found 
even  as  he  had  said  unto  them. 

33  And  as  they  were  loosing  the  colt,  the  owners  thereof 
said  unto  them,  Why  loose  ye  the  colt? 

34  And  they  said,  The  Lord  hath  need  of  him. 

.3ii  And  they  brought  him  to  Jesus:   'and  they  cast  their 
garments  upon  the  colt,  and  they  set  Jesus  thereon. 
3G  'And  as  he  went,  they  spread  their  clothes  in  the  way. 

37  And  when  he  was  come  nigh,  even  now  at  the  descent 
of  the  mount  of  Olives,  the  whole  multitude  of  the  disci- 
ples began  to  rejoice  and  praise  God  with  a  loud  voice  for 
all  the  mighty  works  that  they  had  seen ; 

38  Saying,  'Blessed  be  the  King  that  cometh  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord :  "peace  in  heaven,  and  glory  in  the  highest. 

39  And  some  of  the  Phar'i-sees  from  among  the  multitude 
said  unto  him.  Master,  rebuke  thy  disciples. 

40  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I  tell  you  that, 
if  these  should  hold  their  peace,  "'the  stones  would  imme- 
diately cry  out. 

41  ^And  when  he  was  come  near,  he  beheld  the  city,  and 
wept  over  it, 

42  Saying,  If  thou  hadst  known,  even  thou,  at  least  in 
this  thy  day,  the  things  which  belong  unto  thy  peace!  but 
now  they  are  hid  from  thine  eyes. 

43  For  the  days  shall  come  upon  thee,  that  thine  enemies 
shall  'cast  a  trench  about  thee,  and  compass  thee  round, 
and  keep  thee  in  on  every  side, 

44  And  "shall  lay  thee  even  with  the  ground,  and  thy 
children  within  thee ;  and  'they  shall  not  leave  in  thee  one 
stone  upon  another;  "because  thou  knewest  not  the  time 
of  thy  visitation. 

45  ''And  he  went  into  the  temple,  and  began  to  cast  out 
them  that  sold  therein,  and  them  that  bought ; 

46  Saying  unto  them,  "It  is  written.  My  house  is  the  house 
of  prayer ;  but  -^^ye  have  made  it  a  den  of  thieves. 

47  And  he  taught  daily  in  the  temple.  But  "the  chief 
priests  and  the  scribes  and  the  chief  of  the  people  sought 
to  destroy  him, 

48  And  could  not  find  what  they  might  do :  for  all  the 
people  II  were  very  attentive  to  hear  him. 

CHAPTER    XX. 

Christ  avouchetk  his  authority, 

AND  "it  came  to  pass,  that  on  one  of  those  days,  as  he 
taught  the  people  in  the  temple,  and  preached  the  gospel, 
the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes  came  upon  him  with  the  elders, 


am  an  austere  man,  taking  up  that  I  laid  not  down, 

23 and   reaping   that  I  did  not  sow;    then  wherefore 

gavest  thou  not  my  money  into  the  bank,  and  'I  at 

my  coming  should  have  required  it  with  interest? 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that  stood  by.  Take  away 
from  him  the  pound,  and  give  it  unto  him  that  hath 

25  the  ten  pounds.     And  they  said  unto  him.  Lord,  he 

26  hath  tec  pounds.  I  say  unto  you,  that  unto  every 
one  that  hath  shall  be  given;  but  from  him  that 
hath  not,  even  that  which  he  hath  shall  be  taken 

27  away  from  him.  Howbeit  these  mine  enemies,  which 
would  not  that  I  should  reign  over  them,  bring 
hither,  and  slay  them  before  me. 

28  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  went  on  be- 
fore, going  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  drew  nigh  unto 
Beth'pha-ge  and  Beth'a-ny,  at  the  mount  that  is  called 
the  mount  of  Olives,  he  sent  two  of  the  disciples, 

30 saying.  Go  your  way  into  the  village  over  against 
you;  in  the  which  as  ye  enter  ye  shall  find  a  colt 
tied,  whereon  no  man  ever  yet  sat :  loose  him,  and 

31  bring  him.  And  if  any  one  ask  yoa.  Why  do  ye 
loose  him?  thus  shall  ye  say,  The  Lord  hath  need 

32  of  him.     And  they  that  were  sent  went  away,  and 

33  found  even  as  he  had  said  unto  them.  And  as  they 
were  loo.sing  the  colt,  the  owners  thereof  said  unto 

34  them.  Why  loose  ye  the  colt  ?   And  they  said,  The 

35  Lord  hath  need  of  him.  And  they  brought  him  to 
Jesus :    and  they   threw   their   garments   upon   the 

36  colt,  and  set  Jesus  thereon.     And  as  he  went,  they 

37  spread  their  garments  in  the  way.  And  as  he  was 
now  drawing  nigh,  even  at  the  descent  of  the  fnount 
of  Olives,  the  whole  multitude  of  the  disciples  began 
to  rejoice  and  praise  God  with  a  loud  voice  for  all 

38 the  ^mighty  works  which  they  had  seen;  saying. 
Blessed  is  the  King  that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord :   peace  in  heaven,  and  glory  in  the  highest. 

39  And  some  of  the  Phar'i-sees  from  the  multitude  said 

40  unto  him,  'Master,  rebuke  thy  disciples.  And  he 
answered  and  said,  I  tell  you  that,  if  these  shall  hold 
their  peace,  the  stones  will  cry  out. 

41  And  when  he  drew  nigh,  he  saw  the  city  and  wept 

42  over  it,  saying,  *lf  thou  hadst  known  in  this  day,  even 
thou,  the  things  which  belong  unto  peace !    but  now 

43  they  are  hid  from  thine  eyes.  For  the  days  shall 
come  upon  thee,  when  thine  enemies  shall  cast  up 
a  'bank  about  thee,  and  compass  thee  round,  and 

44  keep  thee  in  on  every  side,  and  shall  dash  thee 
to  the  ground,  and  thy  children  within  thee;  and 
they  shall  not  leave  in  thee  one  stone  upon  an- 
other ;  because  thou  knewest  not  the  time  of  thy 
visitation. 

45  And  he  entered  into  the  temple,  and  began  to 

46  cast  out  them  that  sold,  saying  unto  them.  It  is 
written.  And  my  house  shall  be  a  house  of  prayer: 
but  ye  have  made  it  a  den  of  robbers. 

47  And  he  was  teaching  daily  in  the  temple.  But 
the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes  and  the  principal 

48  men  of  the  people  sought  to  destroy  him :  and  they 
could  not  find  what  they  might  do ;  for  the  people 
all  hung  upon  him,  listening. 

^V  And  it  came  to  pass,  on  one  of  the  days,  as 
he  was  teaching  the  people  in  the  temple,  and 
preaching  the  gospel,  there  came  upon  him  the 
chief  priests    and    the    scribes    with    the    elders;

2  And  spake  unto  him,  saying,  Tell  us  ""by  what  authority 
doest  thou  these  things?  or  who  is  he  that  gave  thee  this 
authority  ? 

3  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I  will  also  ask 
you  one  thing;  and  answer  me : 

4  The  baptism  of  John,  was  it  from  heaven,  or  of  men  ? 

5  And  they  reasoned  with  themselves,  saying,  If  we 
shall  say,  From  heaven;  he  will  say,  Why  then  believed 
ye  him  not? 

6  But  and  if  we  say.  Of  men  ;  all  the  people  will  stone  us : 
for  they  be  persuaded  that  John  was  a  prophet. 

7  And  they  answered,  that  they  could  not  tell  whence  it 
was. 

8  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what 
authority  I  do  these  things. 

9  Then  began  he  to  speak  to  the  people  this  parable;  ''A 
certain  man  planted  a  vineyard,'  and  let  it  forth  to  husband- 
men, and  went  into  a  far  country  for  a  long  time. 

10  And  at  the  season  he  sent  a  servant  to  the  husband- 
men, that  they  should  give  him  of  the  fruit  of  the  vineyard : 
but  the  husbandmen  beat  him,  and  sent  Aim  away  empty. 

11  And  again  he  sent  another  servant :  and  they  beat  him 
also,  and  entreated  him  shamefully,  and  sent  him  away  empty. 

12  And  again  he  sent  a  third:  and  they  wounded  him 
also,  and  cast  him  out. 

13  Then  said  the  Iwd  of  the  vineyard.  What  shall  I  do  ? 
I  will  send  my  beloved  son :  it  may  be  they  will  reverence 
him  when  they  see  him. 

14  But  when  the  husbandmen  saw  him,  they  reasoned 
among  themselves,  saying,  This  is  the  heir:  come,  let  us 
kill  him,  that  the  inheritance  may  be  ours. 

15  So  they  cast  him  out  of  the  vineyard,  and  killed  him. 
What  therefore  shall  the  lord  of  the  vineyard  do  unto  them  ? 

16  He  shall  come  and  destroy  these  husbandmen,  and 
shall  give  the  vineyard  to  others.  And  when  they  heard  it, 
they  said,  God  forbid. 

17  And  he  beheld  them,  and  said,  What  is  this  then  that 
is  written,  'The  stone  which  the  builders  rejected,  the  same 
is  become  the  head  of  the  corner? 

18  Whosoever  shall  fall  upon  that  stone,  shall  be  broken; 
but  ■'on  whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  it  will  grind  him  to  powder. 

19  *f[And  the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes  the  same  hour 
sought  to  lay  hands  on  him ;  and  they  feared  the  people : 
for  they  perceived  that  he  had  spoken  this  parable  against 
them. 

20  "And  they  watched  him,  and  sent  forth  spies,  which 
should  feign  themselves  just  men,  that  they  might  take  hold 
of  his  words,  that  so  they  might  deliver  him  unto  the  power 
and  authority  of  the  governor. 

21  And  they  asked  him,  saying,  ^Master,  we  know  that 
thou  sayest  and  teachest  rightly,  neither  acceptest  thou  the 
person  of  any,  but  teachest  the  way  of  God  ||  truly: 

22  Is  it  lawful  for  us  to  give  tribute  unto  Ce'sar,  or  no  ? 

23  But  he  perceived  their  craftiness,  and  said  unto  them. 
Why  tempt  ye  me  ? 

24  Shew  me  a  ||  penny.  AVhose  image  and  superscription 
hath  it?     They  answered  and  said,  Ce'sar's. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them.  Render  therefore  unto  Ce'sar 
the  things  which  be  Ce'sar's,  and  unto  God  the  things  which 
be  God's. 

26  And  they  could  not  take  hold  of  his  words  before  the 
people :  and  they  marvelled  at  his  answer,  and  held  their 
peace. 

27  ^'Then  came  to  him  certain  of  the  Sad'du-cees,  *which 
deny  that  there  is  any  resurrection ;  and  they  asked  him, 

28  Saying,  Master,  'Mo'ses  wrote  unto  us,  If  any  man's 
brother  die,  having  a  wife,  and  he  die  without  children,  that 
his  brother  should  take  his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed  unto  his 
brother. 


2  and  they  spake,  saying  unto  him.  Tell  us :  By  what 
authority  doest   thou   these   things?    or  who  is  he 

3 that  gave  thee  this  authority?  And  he  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  I  also  will  ask  you  a  'question ; 

4  and   tell   me :    The   baptism  of  John,  was  it  from 

5 heaven,  or  from  men?  And  they  reasoned  with 
themselves,  saying.  If  we  shall  say.  From  heaven ; 

6 he  will  say.  Why  did  ye  not  believe  him?  But  if 
we  shall  say.  From  men ;  all  the  people  will  stone 
us :  for  they  be  persuaded  that  John  was  a  prophet. 

7  And  they  answered,  that  they  knew  not  whence  it 

8  was.  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Neither  tell  I  you 
by  what  authority  I  do  these  things. 

9  And  he  began  to  speak  unto  the  people  this  par- 
able: A  man  planted  a  vineyard,  and  let  it  out  to 
husbandmen,  and  went  into  another  country  for  a 

10  long  time.  And  at  the  season  he  sent  unto  the 
husbandmen  a  'servant,  that  they  should  give  him 
of  the  fruit  of  the  vineyard :  but  the  husbandmen 

11  beat  him,  and  sent  him  away  empty.  And  he  sent 
yet  another  'servant:  and  him  also  they  beat,  and 
handled  him  shamefully,  and  sent  him  away  empty. 

12  And  he  sent  yet  a  third :  and  him  also  they  wounded, 

13  and  cast  him  forth.  And  the  lord  of  the  vineyard 
said.  What  shall  I  do  ?    I  will  send  my  beloved  son : 

14  it  may  be  they  will  reverence  him.  But  when  the 
husbandmen  saw  him,  they  reasoned  one  with  an- 
other, saying.  This  is  the  heir:   let  us  kill  him,  that 

15  the  inheritance  may  be  ours.  And  they  cast  him 
forth  out  of  the  vineyard,  and  killed  him.  What 
therefore  will  the  lord  of  the  vineyard  do  unto  them? 

16  He  will  come  and  destroy  these  husbandmen,  and 
will  give  the  vineyard  unto  others.     And  when  they 

17  heard  it,  they  said,  'God  forbid.  But  he  looked 
upon  them,  and  said.  What  then  is  this  that  is 
written. 

The  stone  which  the  builders  rejected. 
The  same  was  made  the  head  of  the  corner  ? 

18  Every  one  that  falleth  on  that  stone  shall  be  broken 
to  pieces;  but  on  whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  it  will 
scatter  him  as  dust. 

19  And  the  scribes  and  the  chief  priests  .sought  to 
lay  hands  on  him  in  that  very  hour;  and  they  feared 
the  people :    for  they  perceived  that  lie  spake  this 

20  parable  against  them.  And  they  watched  him,  and 
sent  forth  spies,  which  feigned  themselves  to  be 
righteous,  that  they  might  take  hold  of  his  speech, 
so  as  to  deliver  him  up  to  the  rule  and  to  the  au- 

21  thority  of  the  governor.  And  they  asked  him,  say- 
ing, ■'Master,  we  know  that  thou  sayest  and  teachest 
rightly,  and  acceptest  not  the  person  of  any,  but  of 

22  a  truth  teachest  the  way  of  God :    Is  it  lawful  for  us 
23 to  give  tribute  unto  Cse'sar,  or  not?     But  he  per- 

24  ceived  their  craftiness,  and  said  unto  them,  Shew  me 
a  'penny.     Whose  image  and  superscription  hath  it? 

25  And  they  said,  Cse'sar's.  And  he  said  unto  them, 
Then  render  unto  Cse'sar  the  things  that  are  Cse'sar's, 

26  and  unto  God  the  things  that  are  God's.  And  they 
were  not  able  to  take  hold  of  the  saying  before  the 
people :  and  they  marvelled  at  his  answer,  and  held 
their  peace. 

27  And  there  came  to  him  certain  of  the  Sad'du- 
cees,   they   which   say   that   there   is   no   resurrec- 

28tion;  and  they  asked  him,  saying,  ^Master,  Mo'ses 
wrote  unto  us,  that  if  a  man's  brother  die,  having 
a  wife,  and  he  be  childless,  his  brother  should 
tcRe  the  wife,  and  raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother,

29  There  were  therefore  seven  brethren :  and  the  first  took 
a  wife,  and  died  without  children. 

30  And  tbe  second  took  her  to  wife,  and  he  died  childless. 

31  And  the  third  took  her;  and  in  liks  manner  the  seven 
also :  and  they  left  no  children,  and  died. 

32  Last  of  all  the  woman  died  also. 

33  Therefore  in  the  resurrection  whose  wife  of  them  is 
she?  for  seven  had  her  to  wife. 

34  And  Jesus  answering,  said  .:nto  them.  The  children  of 
this  world  marry,  and  are  given  in  marriage: 

35  But  they  which  shall  be  accounted  worthy  to  obtain 
that  world,  and  the  resurrection  from  the  dead,  neither 
marry,  nor  are  given  in  marriage : 

36  Neither  can  they  die  any  more:  for  "they  are  equal 
unto  the  angels;  and  are  the  children  of  God,  "being  the  cnil- 
dren  of  the  resurrection. 

37  Now  that  the  dead  are  raised,  "even  Mo'ses  shewed  at 
the  bush,  when  he  calleth  the  Lord  the  God  of  A'bra-ham, 
and  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the  C(od  of  Ja'cob. 

38  For  he  is  not  a  God  of  the  dead,  but  of  the  living :  for 
"all  live  unto  him. 

39  ^[Then  certain  of  the  scribes  answering,  said,  Master, 
thou  ha.st  well  said. 

40  And  after  that  they  durst  not  ask  him  any  question  at  all. 

41  And  he  said  unto  them,  'How  say  they  that  Christ  is 
Da'vid's  son? 

42  And  Da'vid  himself  saith  in  the  book  of  Psalms,  ''The 
Lord  said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

43  Till  I  make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool. 

44  Da'vid  therefore  calleth  him  Lord,  how  is  he  then  his 
son? 

45  ^'Then  in  the  audience  of  all  the  people  he  said  unto 
hi.s  disciples, 

46  'Beware  of  the  scribes,  which  desire  to  walk  in  long 
robes,  and  "love  greetings  in  the  markets,  and  the  highest 
seats  in  the  synagogues,  and  the  chief  rooms  at  feasts; 

47  ""Which  devour  widows'  houses,  and  for  a  shew  make 
long  prayers :  the  same  shall  receive  greater  damnation. 

CHAPTER   XXI. 

Destruction  of  the  temple  and  city  foretold, 

AND  he  Ic  aked  up  "and  saw  the  rich  men  casting  their 
gifts  into  the  treasury. 

2  And  he  saw  also  a  certain  poor  widow  casting  in  thither 
two  II  mites. 

3  And  he  said.  Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you,  'that  this  poor 
widow  hath  cast  in  more  than  they  all, 

4  For  all  these  have  of  their  abundance  cast  in  unto  the 
offerings  of  God :  but  she  of  her  penury  hath  cast  in  all  the 
living  that  she  had. 

5  ^''And  as  some  spake  of  the  temple,  how  it  was  adorned 
with  goodly  stones  and  gifts,  he  said, 

6  As  for  these  things  which  ye  behold,  the  days  will  come, 
in  the  which  ''there  shall  not  be  left  one  stone  upon  another, 
that  shall  not  be  thrown  down. 

7  And  they  asked  him,  saying,  Master,  but  when  shall 
these  things  be?  and  what  sign  will  there  be  when  these 
things  shall  come  to  pass? 

8  And  he  said,  'Take  heed  that  ye  be  not  deceived :  for 
many  shall  come  in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  Christ;  ||and 
the  time  draweth  near:  go  ye  not  therefore  after  them. 

9  But  when  ye  shall  hear  of  wars  and  commotions,  be  not 
terrified :  for  these  things  must  first  come  to  pass ;  but  the 
end  is  not  by  and  by. 

10  -rrhen  said  he  unto  them.  Nation  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against  kingdom : 

11  And  great  earthquakes  shall  be  in  divers  places,  and 
famines,  and  pestilences :  and  fearful  sights,  and  great  signs 
shall  there  be  from  heaven. 

12  'But  before  all  these,  they  shall  lay  their  hands  on  you. 


29  There  were  therefore  seven  brethren :  and  the  first 
30 took   a    wife,  and   died  childless;    and  the  second; 

31  and  the  third  took  her;  and  likewise  the  seven  also 

32  left  no  children,  and  died.     Afterward  the  woman 

33  also  died.  In  the  resurrection  therefore  whose  wife 
of  them  shall  she  be  ?  for  the  seven  had  her  to  wife. 

34  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  The  sons  of  this  Hvorld 

35  marry,  and  are  given  in  marriage :  but  they  that  are 
accounted  worthy  to  attain  to  that ''world,  and  the 
resurrection  from  the  dead,  neither  marry,  nor  are 

36  given  in  marriage :  for  neither  can  they  die  any 
more:  for  they  are  equal  unto  the  angels;  and  are 

37  sons  of  God,  being  sons  of  the  resurrection.  But 
that  the  dead  are  raised,  even  Mo'ses  shewed,  in  the 
place  concerning  the  Bush,  when  he  calleth  the  Lord 
the  God  of  A'bra-ham,  and  the  God  of  I'saac,  and  the 

38  God  of  Ja'cob.     Now  he  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead, 

39  but  of  the  living:  for  all  live  unto  him.  And  certain 
of  the  scribes  answering  said,  ^Master,  thou  hast  well 

40  said.  For  they  durst  not  any  more  ask  him  any 
question. 

41  And  he  said  unto  them,  How  say  they  that  the 

42  Christ  is  Da'vid's  son  ?  For  Da'vid  himself  saith  in 
the  book  of  Psalms, 

The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

43  Till  I  make  thine  enemies  the  footstool  of  thy 

feet. 

44  Da'vid  therefore  calleth  him  Lord,  and  how  is  he 
his  son? 

45  And  in  the  hearing  of  all  the  people  he  said  unto 

46  his  disciples,  Beware  of  the  scribes,  which  desire  to 
walk  in  long  robes,  and  love  salutations  in  the  mar- 
ketplaces, and   chief  seats   in   the   synagogues,  and 

47 chief  places  at  feasts;  which  devour  widows'  houses, 
and  for  a  pretence  make  long  prayers:  these  shall 
receive  greater  condemnation. 

>h4-     And  he  looked  up,  'and  saw  the  rich  men  that 

2  were  casting  their  gifts  into  the  treasury.  And  he 
saw  a  certain  poor  widow  casting  in  thither  two 

3  mites.     And  he  said.  Of  a  truth  I  say   unto   you, 
4 This  poor  widow  cast  in  more  than  they   all:    for 

all  the.se  did  of  their  superfluity  cast  in  unto  the 
gifts :  but  she  of  her  want  did  cast  in  all  the  living 
that  she  had. 

5  And  as  some  spake  of  the  temple,  how  it  was 
adorned  with   goodly  stones  and  offerings,  he  said, 

6  As  for  these  things  which  ye  behoM,  the  days  will 
come,  in  which  there  shall  not  be  left  here  one 
stone  upon  another,  that  shall  not  be  thrown  down. 

7  And  they  asked  him,  saying,  ^Master,  when  there- 
fore shall  these  things  be  ?  and  what  shall  be  the 
sign  when  these  things  are  about  to  come  to  pass? 

8  And  he  said.  Take  heed  that  ye  be  not  led  astray : 
for  many  shall  come  in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  he; 
and,  The   time   is  at   hand  :    go  ye  not  after  them. 

9  And  when  ye  shall  hear  of  wars  and  tumults,  be 
not  terrified :  for  these  things  must  needs  come  to 
pass  first ;  ,but  the  end  is  not  immediately. 

10  Then  said  he  unto  them,  Nation  shall  rise  against 

11  nation,  and  kingdom  against  kingdom:  and  there 
e^'"'.  be  great  earthquakes,  and  in  divers  places 
famines   and    pestilences;    and   there    shall  be  ter- 

12rors  and  great  signs  from  heaven.  But  before  all 
these   things,  they  shall  lay  their  hands  on   you.

16  "And  ye  shall  be  betrayed  both  by  parents,  and  brethren,

to  be  put  to  death. 

1 7  And  "ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men  for  my  name's  sake. 

18  'But  there  shall  not  a  hair  of  your  head  perish. 

19  In  your  patience  possess  ye  your  souls. 

20  'And  when  ye  shall  see  Je-ru'sa-lem  compa.ssed  with

21  Then  let  them  which  are  in  Ju-de'a  flee  to  the  mount-

23  "But  woe  unto  them  that  are  with  child,  and  to  them 
that  give  suck,  in  those  days !  for  there  shall  be  great  dis-

own  selves  that  summer  is  now  nigh  at  hand.

know  ye  that  the  kingdom  of  God  is  nigh  at  hand. 

32  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  This  generation  shall  not  pass 
away,  till  all  be  fulfilled. 

33  ''Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away ;  but  my  words  shall 
not  pass  away.

the  face  of  the  whole  earth. 

36  'Watch  ye  therefore,  and  *pray  always,  that  ye  may  be 
accounted  worthy  to  escape  all  these  things  that  shall  come 
to  pass,  and  *to  stand  before  the  Son  of  man. 

37  *And  in  the  daytime  he  was  teaching  in  the  temple; 
and  'at  night  he  went  out,  and  abode  in  the  mount  that  is 
called  the  mount  of  Olives. 

38  And  all  the  people  came  early  in  the  morning  to  him 
in  the  temple,  for  to  hear  him. 

CHAPTER    XXII. 

The  Jews  conspire  against  Christ. 

"VTOW  "the  feast  of  unleavened  bread  drew  nigh,  which  is 
-Li    called  the  passover. 

2  And  'the  chief  priests  and  scribes  sought  how  they  might 
kill  him ;  for  they  feared  the  people. 


and  shall  persecute   you, 'lelivering  you  up   to   the 
synagogues  and  prisons,  'bringing  you  before  kings 

13  and  governors  for  my  name's  sake.     It  shall  turn 

14  unto  you  for  a  testimony.  Settle  it  therefore  in  your 
hearts,  not  to  meditate  beforehand  how  to  answer: 

15  for  I  will  give  you  a  mouth  and  wisdom,  which  all 
your  adversaries  shall   not  be  able  to  withstand  or 

16  to  gainsay.  But  ye  shall  be  delivered  up  even  by 
parents,  and  brethren,  and  kinsfolk,  and  friends; 
and  some  of  you  ^shall  they  cause  to  be  put  to  death. 

17  And  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men  for  my  name's 

18  sake.     And    not  a  hair  of  your  head  shall  perish. 

19  In  your  patience  ye  shall  win  your  'souls. 

20  But  when  ye  see  Je-ru'sa-lem  compassed  with  armies, 

21  then  know  that  her  desolation  is  at  hand.  Then  let 
them  that  are  in  Ju-dse'a  flee  unto  the  mountains ;  and 
let  them  that  are  in  the  midst  of  her  depart  out ;  and 
let  not  them  that  are  in  the  country  enter  therein 

22  For  these  are  days   of  vengeance,   that  all  things 

23  which  are  written  may  be  fulfilled.  Woe  unto  them 
that  are  with  child  and  to  them  that  give  suck  in  those 
days !  for  there  shall  be  great  distress  upon  the  ^land, 

24  and  wrath  unto  this  people.  And  they  shall  fall  by 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  shall  be  led  captive  into 
all  the  nations :  and  Je-ru'sa-lem  shall  be  trodden  down 
of  the  Gentiles,  until  the  times  of  the  Gentiles  be 

25  fulfilled.  And  there  shall  be  signs  in  sun  and  moon 
and  stars ;  and  upon  the  earth  distress  of  nations,  in 
perplexity  for  the  roaring  of  the  sea  and  the  billows ; 

26  men  'fainting  for  fear,  and  for  expectation  of  the  things 
which  are  coming  on  *the  world :  for  the  powers  of 

27  the  heavens  shall  be  shaken.  And  then  shall  they 
see  the  Son  of  man   coming  in  a  cloud  with  power 

28  and  great  glory.  But  when  these  things  begin  to 
come  to  pass,  look  up,  and  lift  up  your  heads ;  be- 
cause your  redemption  draweth  nigh. 

29  And  he  spake  to  them  a  parable :  Behold  the  fig 
30 tree,  and  all  the  trees:  when  they  now  shoot  forth 

ye  see  it  and  know  of  your  own  selves  that  the  sum- 

31  mer  is  now  nigh.  Even  so  ye  also,  when  ye  see  these 
things  coming  to  pass,  know  ye  that  the  kingdom  of 

32  God  is  nigh.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  This  genera- 
tion shall  not  pass  away,  till  all  things  be  accom- 

33  plished.  Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away :  but  my 
words  shall  not  pass  away. 

34  But  take  heed  to  yourselves,  lest  haply  your  hearts 
be  overcharged  with  surfeiting,  and  drunkenness,  and 
cares  of  this  life,  and  that  day  come  on  you  suddenly 

35  as  a  snare :  for  so  shall  it  come  upon  all  them  that 

36  dwell  on  the  face  of  all  the  earth.  But  watch  ye  at 
every  season,  making  supplication,  that  ye  may  pre- 
vail to  escape  all  these  things  that  shall  come  to  pass, 
and  to  stand  before  the  Son  of  man. 

37  And  every  day  he  was  teaching  in  the  temple ;  and 
every  night  he  went  out,  and  lodged  in  the  mount 

38  that  is  called  the  mount  of  Olives.  And  all  the 
people  came  early  in  the  morning  to  him  in  the  tem- 
ple, to  hear  him. 

^'H     Now  the  feast  of  unleavened  bread  drew  nigh, 
2  which  is  called  the  Passover.     And  the  chief  priests- 
and  the  scribes  sought  how  they  might  put  him  to 
tieath;  for  they  feared  the  people.

3  ^"Then  entered  Sa'tan  into  -Tud'as  surnamed  Is-car'i-ot, 
being  of  the  number  of  the  twelve. 

4  And  he  went  his  way,  and  communed  with  the  chief 
priests  and  captains,  how  he  might  betray  him  unto  them. 

5  And  they  were  glad,  and  ''covenanted  to  give  him  money. 

6  And  he  promised,  and  sought  opportunity  to  betray  him 
unto  them  \\\n  the  absence  of  the  multitude. 

7  ^'Then  came  the  day  of  unleavened  bread,  when  the 
passover  must  be  killed. 

8  And  he  sent  Pe'ter  and  John,  saying.  Go  and  prepare 
us  the  passover,  that  we  may  eat. 

9  And  they  said  unto  him,  Where  wilt  thou  that  we  prepare? 

10  And  he  said  unto  them.  Behold,  when  ye  are  entered 
into  the  city,  there  shall  a  man  meet  you,  bearing  a  pitcher 
of  water;   follow  him  into  the  house  where  he  entereth  in. 

11  And  ye  shall  say  unto  the  goodman  of  the  house.  The 
Master  saith  unto  thee,  Where  is  the  guestchamber,  where 
I  shall  eat  the  passover  with  my  disciples? 

12  And  he  shall  shew  you  a  large  upper  room  furnished : 
there  make  ready. 

13  And  they  went  and  found  as  he  had  said  unto  them: 
and  they  made  ready  the  passover, 

14  -^And  when  the  hour  was  come,  he  sat  down,  and  the 
twelve  apostles  with  him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them,  ||With  de.sire  I  have  desired  to 
eat  this  passover  with  you  before  I  suffer : 

16  For  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  any  more  eat  thereof, 
"until  it  be  fulfilled  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

17  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  gave  thanks,  and  said,  Take 
this,  and  divide  it  among  yourselves : 

18  For  *I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  driuk  of  the  fruit  of  the 
vine,  until  the  kingdom  of  God  shall  come. 

19  ^'And  he  took  bread,  and  gave  thanks,  and  brake  it, 
and  gave  unto  them,  saying.  This  is  my  body  which  is  given 
for  you  :  'this  do  in  remembrance  of  me. 

20  Likewise  also  the  cup  after  supper,  saying,  'This  cup  is 
the  new  testament  in  my  blood,  which  is  shed  for  yon. 

21  %^'"But,  behold,  the  hand  of  him  that  betrayeth  me  is 
with  me  on  the  table. 

22  "And  truly  the  Son  of  man  goeth,  "as  it  was  determined : 
but  woe  unto  that  man  by  whom  he  is  betrayed ! 

23  ''And  they  began  to  inquire  among  themselves,  which 
of  them  it  was  that  should  do  this  thing. 

24  ^'And  there  was  also  a  strife  among  t^hem,  which  of 
them  should  be  accounted  the  greatest. 

25  'And  he  said  unto  them.  The  kings  of  the  Gentiles 
exercise  lordship  over  them ;  and  they  that  exercise  author- 
ity upon  them  are  called  benefactors. 

26  'But  ye  shall  not  be  so :  'but  he  that  is  greatest  among 
you,  let  him  be  as  the  younger;  and  he  that  is  chief,  as  he 
that  doth  serve. 

27  "For  whether  is  greater,  he  that  sitteth  at  meat,  or  he 
that  serveth?  is  not  he  that  sitteth  at  meat?  but  "'I  am 
among  you  as  he  that  serveth. 

28  Ye  are  they  which  have  continued  with  me  in  "my 
temptations. 

29  And  'I  appoint  unto  you  a  kingdom,  as  my  Father  hath 
appointed  unto  me; 

30  That  °ye  may  eat  and  drink  at  my  table  in  my  king- 
dom,'and  sit  on  thrones  judging  the  twelve  tribes  of  Is'ra-el. 

31  IJAnd  the  Lord  said,  Si'mon,  Si'mon,  behold,  "Sa'tan 
hath  desired  to  have  you,  that  he  may  ''sift  you  as  wheat: 

32  But  'I  have  prayed  for  thee,  that  thy  faith  fail  not : 
■^and  when  thou  art  converted,  strengthen  thy  brethren. 

33  And  he  said  unto  him.  Lord,  I  am  ready  to  go  with 
thee,  both  into  prison,  and  to  death. 

34  "And  he  said,  I  tell  thee,  Pe'ter,  the  cock  shall  not  crow 
this  day,  before  that  thou  shalt  thrice  deny  that  thou  know- 
est  me. 


3  And  Sa'tan  entered  into  Ju'das  who  was  called 

4  Is-car'i-ot,  being  of  the  number  of  the  twelve.  And  he 
went  away  and  communed  with  the  chief  priests  and 

5  captains,  how  he  might  deliver  him  unto  them.    And 
they  were  glad,  and  covenanted  to  give  him  money, 

6  And  he  consented,  and  sought  opportunity  to  deliver 
him  unto  them  'in  the  absence  of  the  multitude. 

7  And  the  day  of  unleavened  bread  came  on  which 

8  the  passover  must  be  sacrificed.     And  he  sent  Pe'ter 
and  John,   saying.   Go  and   make  ready  for  us  the 

9  passover,  that  we  may  eat.    And  they  said  unto  him, 

10  Where  wilt  thou  that  we  make  ready?  And  he  said 
unto  them.  Behold,  when  ye  are  entered  into  the  city, 
there  shall  meet  you  a  man  bearing  a  pitcher  of 
water ;  follow  him  into  the  house  whereinto  he  goeth 

11  And  ye  shall  say  unto  the  goodman  of  the  house, 
The  ^Master  saith  unto  thee.  Where  is  the  guest- 
chamber,  where  I  shall  eat  the  passover  with  my 

12  disciples?  And  he  will  shew  you  a  large  upper  room 
13 furnished:  there  make  ready.     And  they  went,  and 

found  as  he  had  said  unto  them:  and  they  made 
ready  the  passover. 

14  And  when  the  hour  was  come,  he  sat  down,  and 

15  the  apostles  with  him.  And  he  said  unto  them_ 
With  desire  I  have  desired  to  eat  this  passover  with 

16 you  before  I  suffer:  for  I  say  unto  you,  .1  will  not  eat 

17  it,  until  it  be  fulfilled  in  the  kingdom  of  God.  And 
he  received  a  cup,  and  when  he  had  given  thanks, 
he  said.  Take  this  and  divide  it  among  youselves 

18  for  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  drink  from  henceforth 
of  the  fruit  of  the  vine,  until  the  kingdom  of  God 

19  shall  come.  And  he  took  'bread,  and  when  he  had 
given  thanks,  he  brake  it,  and  gave  to  them,  saying, 
This  is  my  body  ^which  is  given  for  you :  this  do  in 

20  remembrance  of  me.  And  the  cup  in  like  manner 
after  supper,  saying.  This  cup  is  the  new  "covenant 
in  my  blood,  even  that  which  is  poured  out  for  you. 

21  But  behold,  the  hand  of  him  that  betrayeth  me  is  witl 

22  me  on  the  table.  For  the  Son  of  man  indeed  goeth, 
as  it  hath  been  determined :  but  woe  unto  that  man 

23 through  whom  he  is  betrayed!  And  they  began  to 
question  among  themselves,  which  of  them  it  was 
that  should  do  this  thing. 

24  And  there  arose  also  a   contention  among  them, 

25  which  of  them  is  accounted  to  be  ^greatest.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  The  kings  of  the  Gentiles  have  lord- 
ship over  them ;  and  they  that  have  authority  over 

26  them  are  called  Benefactors.  But  ye  shall  not  he  so : 
but  he  that  is  the  greater  among  you  let  him  become 
as  the  younger;  and  he  that  is  chief,  as  he  that  doth 

27  serve.  For  whether  is  greater,  he  that  'sitteth  at 
meat,  or  he  that  serveth  ?  is  not  he  that  'sitteth  at 
meat?  but  I  am  in  the  midst  of  you  as  he  that  serveth. 

28  But  ye  are  they  which  have  continued  with  me  in 

29  my  temptations;  and^I  appoint  unto  you  a  kingdom, 

30  even  as  my  Father  appointed  unto  me,  that  ye  may 
eat  and  drink  at  my  table  in  my  kingdom :  and  ye 
shall   sit  on   thrones  judging  the   twelve  tribes  of 

31  Is'ra-el.      Si'mon,  Si'mon,  behold,  Sa'tan  'asked  to 
32 have  you,  that  he  might  sift  you  as  wheat:   but  I 

made  supplication  for  thee,  that  thy  faith  fail  not: 

and  do  thou  when  once  thou  hast  turned  again, 
33  stablish  thy  brethren.    And  he  said  unto  him.  Lord, 

with  thee  I  am  ready  to  go  both  to  prison  and  to 
34 death.      And  he  said,   I   tell  thee,  Peter,  the  cock 

shall  not  crow  this  day,  until  thou  shalt  thrice  deny 

that  thou  knowest  me.

35  *And  he  said  unto  them,  When  I  sent  you  without  purse, 
and  scrip,  and  shoes,  lacked  ye  any  thing?  And  they  said, 
Nothing. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  them.  But  now,  he  that  hath  a  purse, 
let  him  take  it,  and  likewise  his  scrip :  and  he  that  hath  no 
sword,  let  him  sell  his  garment,  and  buy  one. 

37  For  I  say  unto  you,  that  this  that  is  written  must  yet 
be  accomplished  in  me,  'And  he  was  reckoned  among  the 
transgressors;  for  the  things  concerning  me   have  an  end. 

38  And  they  said.  Lord,  behold,  here  are  two  swords. 
And  he  said  unto  them.  It  is  enough. 

39  ^*And  he  came  out,  and  'went,  as  he  was  wont,  to  the 
mount  of  Olives ;  and  his  disciples  also  followed  him. 

40  ™And  when  he  was  at  the  place,  he  said  unto  them, 
Pray  that  ye  enter  not  into  temptation. 

41  "And  he  was  withdrawn  from  them  about  a  stone's  cast, 
and  kneeled  down,  and  prayed, 

42  Saying,  Father,  if  thou  be  fwilling,  remove  this  cup 
from  me :  nevertheless,  "not  my  will,  but  thine  be  done. 

43  And  there  appeared  "an  angel  unto  him  from  heaven, 
strengthening  him. 

44  "And  being  in  an  agony  he  prayed  more  earnestly: 
and  his  sweat  was  as  it  were  great  drops  of  blood  falling 
down  to  the  ground. 

45  And  when  he  rose  up  from  prayer,  and  was  come  to 
his  disciples,  he  found  them  sleeping  for  sorrow, 

46  And  said  unto  them,  Why  sleep  ye?  rise  and  'pray, 
lest  ye  enter  into  temptation. 

47  ^And  while  he  yet  spake,  'behold  a  multitude,  and  he 
that  was  called  Ju'das,  one  of  the  twelve,  went  before  them, 
and  drew  near  unto  Jesus  to  kiss  him. 

48  But  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Ju'das,  betrayest  thou  the 
Son  of  man  with  a  kiss  ? 

49  When  they  which  were  about  him,  saw  what  would  fol- 
low, they  said  unto  him,  Lord,  shall  we  smite  with  the  sword? 

50  ^And  'one  of  them  smote  the  servant  of  the  high 
priest,  an4  cut  off  his  right  ear. 

51  And  Jesus  answered  and  said.  Suffer  ye  thus  far.  And 
he  touched  his  ear,  and  healed  him, 

52  "Then  Jesus  said  unto  the  chief  priests,  and  captains  of 
the  temple,  and  the  elders,  which  were  come  to  him.  Be  ye 
come  out,  as  against  a  thief,  with  swords  and  staves? 

53  When  I  was  daily  with  you  in  the  temple,  ye  stretched 
forth  no  hands  against  me :  "but  this  is  your  hour,  and  the 
power  of  darknes-s. 

54  ^"Theu  took  they  him,  and  led  him,  and  brought  him 
into  the  high  priest's  house.     "And  Pe'ter  followed  afar  off. 

55  "And  when  they  had  kindled  a  fire  in  the  midst  of  the 
hall,  and  were  sat  down  together,  Pe'ter  satdown  among  them. 

56  But  a  certain  maid  beheld  him  as  he  sat  by  the  fire, 
and  earnestly  looked  upon  him,  and  said.  This  man  was  also 
with  him. 

57  And  he  denied  him,  saying.  Woman,  I  know  him  not. 
68  'And  after  a  little  while  another  saw  him,  and  said. 

Thou  art  also  of  them.     And  Pe'ter  said,  Man,  I  am  not. 

59  "And  about  the  space  of  one  hour  after,  another  con- 
fidently affirmed,  saying.  Of  a  truth  this  fellow  also  was  with 
him ;  for  he  is  a  Gal-i-le'an. 

60  And  Pe'ter  said,  Man,  I  know  not  what  thou  sayest. 
And  immediately,  while  he  yet  spake,  the  cock  crew. 

61  And  the  Lord  turned,  and  looked  upon  Pe'ter.  "'And 
Pe'ter  remembered  the  word  of  the  Lord,  how  he  had  said 
unto  him,  'Before  the  cock  crow,  thou  shalt  deny  me  thrice. 

62  And  Pe'ter  went  out,  and  wept  bitterly. 

63  ^-^And  the  men  that  held  Jesus  mocked  him,  and 
smote  him. 

64  And  when  they  had  blindfolded  him,  they  struck  him 
on  the  face,  and  asked  him,  saying.  Prophesy,  who  is  it  that 
smote  thee  ? 


35  And  he  said  unto  them.  When  I  sent  you  forth 
without  purse,  and  wallet,  and  shoes,  lacked  ye  any 

36  thing?  And  they  said.  Nothing.  And  he  said  unto 
them.  But  now,  he  that  hath  a  purse,  let  him  take  it, 
and  likewise  a  wallet:  'and   he  that  hath  none,  let 

37  him  sell  his  cloke,  and  buy  a  sword.  For  I  say 
unto  you,  that  this  which  is  written  mast  be  fulfilled 
in  me.  And  he  was  reckoned  with  transgressors  :  for 

38  that  which  concerneth  me  hath  ^fulfilment.  And 
they  said.  Lord,  behold,  here  are  two  swords.  And 
he  said  unto  them.  It  is  enough. 

39  And  he  came  out,  and  went,  as  his  custom  was, 
unto   the    mount  of  Olives ;  and   the  disciples  also 

40  followed  him.  And  when  he  was  at  the  place,  he 
said  unto  them.  Pray  that  ye  enter  not  into  tempta- 

41tion.     And  he  was  parted  from  them  about  a  stone's 

42 cast;    and    he   kneeled   down   and   prayed,    saying. 

Father,  if  thou  be  willing,  remove  this  cup  from  me : 

43  nevertheless  not  my  will,  but  thine,  be  done.  'And 
there   appeared   unto    him  an   angel    from   heaven, 

44  strengthening  him.  And  being  in  an  agony  he 
prayed  more  earnestly :  and  his  sweat  became  as  it

45  ground.  And  when  he  rose  up  from  his  prayer,  he 
came  unto  the   disciples,  and   found  them  sleeping 

46  for  sorrow,  and  said  unto  them.  Why  sleep  ye  ?  rise 
and  pray,  that  ye  enter  not  into  temptation. 

47  While  he  yet  spake,  behold,  a  multitude,  and  he 
that  was  called  Ju'das,  one  of  the  twelve,  went  before 
them;  and   he  drew  near   unto  Jesus  to  kiss  him. 

48  But  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Ju'das,  betrayest  thou  the 

49  Son  of  man  with  a  kiss  ?  And  when  they  that  were 
about  him  saw  what  would  follow,  they  said.  Lord, 

50  shall  we  smite  with  the  sword  ?  And  a  certain  one 
of  them  smote  the  ^servant  of  the  high  priest,  and 

51  struck  off  his  right  ear.  But  Jesus  answered  and 
said.  Suffer  ye  thus  far.     And  he  touched  his  ear, 

52  and  healed  him.  And  Jesus  said  unto  the  chief 
priests,  and  captains  of  the  temple,  and  elders,  which 
were  come  against  him,  Are  ye  come  out  as  against 

53a  robber,  with  swords  and  staves?  When  I  was 
daily  with  you  in  the  teihple,  ye  stretched  not  forth 
your  hands  against  me :  but  this  is  your  hour,  and 
the  power  of  darkness. 

54  And  they  seized  him,  and  led  him  away,  and 
brought    him    into    the    high    priest's    house.     But 

55  Pe'ter  followed  afar  off.  And  when  they  had 
kindled  a  fire  in  the  midst  of  the  court,  and  had 
sat  down  together,  Pe'ter  sat  in  the  midst  of  them. 

56  And  a  certain  maid  seeing  him  as  he  sat  in  the  light 
of  the  fire,  and   looking   stedfastly  upon    him,  said, 

57  This  man  also  was  with  him.     But  he  denied,  say- 
58ing,  AVoman,  I  know  him   not.     And  after  a   little 

while  another  saw  him,  and  said.  Thou  also  art  one 
59  of  them.  But  Pe'ter  said,  Man,  I  am  not.  And  after 
the  space  of  about  one  hour  another  confidently  af- 
firmed, saying,  Of  a  truth  this  man  also  was  with 
60 him:  for  he  is  a  Gal-i-le'an.  But  Pe'ter  said,  Man, 
I  know  not  what  thou   sayest.     And   immediately, 

61  while  he  yet  spake,  the  cock  crew.  And  the  Lord 
turned,  and  looked  upon  Pe'ter.  And  Pe'ter  remem- 
bered the  word  of  the  Lord,  how  that  he  said  unto 
him.  Before  the  cock  crow  this  day,  thou  shalt  deny 

62  me  thrice.     And  he  went  out,  and  wept  bitterly. 

63  And  the  men  that  held  '^Jesus  mocked  him,  and 

64  beat  him.  And  they  blindfolded  him,  and  asked

65  And  many  other  things  blasphemously  spake  they 
against  him. 

66  ^"And  as  soon  as  it  was  day,  ''the  elders  of  the  people 
and  the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes  came  together,  and  led 
him  into  their  council,  saying, 

67  'Art  thou  the  Christ?  tell  us.  And  he  said  unto  them. 
If  I  tell  you,  ye  will  not  believe : 

68  And  if  I  also  ask  you,  ye  will  not  answer  me,  nor  let 
me  go. 

69  *Hereafter  shall  the  Son  of  man  sit  on  the  right  hand 
of  the  power  of  God. 

70  Then  said  they  all.  Art  thou  then  the  Son  of  God? 
And  he  said  unto  them,  TTe  eay  that  I  am. 

71  ""And  they  said,  What  need  we  any  further  witness? 
for  we  ourselves  have  heard  of  his  own  mouth. 

CHAPTER  XXIII. 

Herod  mocketh  Christ. 

AND  "the  whole  multitude  of  them  arose,  and  led  him 
unto  Pi'late. 

2  And  they  began  to  accuse  him,  saying,  We  found  this 
fellow  'perverting  the  nation,  and  "forbidding  to  give  trib- 
ute to  Ce'sar,  saying,  ''That  he  himself  is  Christ  a  king. 

3  'And  Pi'late  asked  him,  saying,  Art  thou  the  King  of  the 
Jews?     And  he  answered  him  and  said,  Thou  sayest  it. 

4  Then  said  Pi'late  to  the  chief  priests  and  to  the  people, 
'\  find  no  fault  in  this  man. 

5  And  they  were  the  more  fierce,  saying,  He  stirreth  up 
tlie  people,  teaching  throughout  all  Jew'ry,  beginning  from 
Gal'i-lee  to  this  place. 

6  When  Pi'late  heard  of  Gal'i-lee,  he  asked  whether  the 
man  were  a  Gal-i-le'an. 

7  And  as  soon  as  he  knew  that  he  belonged  unto  "Her'od's 
jurisdiction,  he  sent  him  to  Her'od,  who  himself  also  was  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem  at  that  time. 

8  ^And  when  Her'od  saw  Jesus,  he  was  exceeding  glad: 
for  ''he  was  desirous  to  see  him  of  a  long  season,  because 
'he  had  heard  many  things  of  him ;  and  he  hoped  to  have 
seen  some  miracle  done  by  him. 

9  Then  he  questioned  with  him  in  many  words;  but  he 
answered  him  nothing. 

10  And  the  chief  priests  and  scribes  stood  and  vehemently 
accused  him. 

11  *And  Her'od  with  his  men  of  war  set  him  at  nought, 
and  mocked  him,  and  arrayed  him  in  a  gorgeous  robe,  and 
sent  him  again  to  Pi'late. 

1 2  And  the  same  day  'Pi'late  and  Her'od  were  made  friends 
together ;  for  before  they  were  at  enmity  between  themselves. 

13  ^"And  Pi'late,  when  he  had  called  together  the  chief 
priests  and  the  rulers  and  the  people, 

14  Said  unto  them,  "Ye  have  brought  this  man  unto  me, 
as  one  that  perverteth  the  people :  and,  behold,  "I,  having 
examined  him  before  you,  have  found  no  fault  in  this  man 
touching  those  things  whereof  ye  accuse  him ; 

15  No,  nor  yet  Her'od:  for  I  sent  you  to  him;  and,  lo, 
nothing  worthy  of  death  is  done  unto  him. 

16  ''I  will  therefore  chastise  him,  and  release  him. 

17  '(For  of  necessity  he  must  release  one  unto  them  at 
the  feast.) 

18  And  ""they  cried  out  all  at  once,  saying.  Away  with 
this  man,  and  release  unto  us  Ba-rab'bas : 

19  (Who,  for  a  certain  sedition  made  in  the  city,  and  for 
murder,  Avas  cast  into  prison.) 

20  Pi'late  therefore,  willing  to  release  Jesus,  spake  again 
to  them. 

21  But  they  cried,  saying,  Crucify  him,  crucify  him. 

22  And  he  said  unto  them  the  third  time.  Why,  what  evil 
hath  he  done  ?  I  have  found  no  cause  of  death  in  him ;  I 
will  therefore  chastise  him,  and  let  him  go. 


65  And  many  other  things  spake  they  against  him,  re- 
viling him. 

66  And  as  soon  as  it  was  day,  the  assembly  oi  the 
elders  of  the  people  was  gathered  together,  both 
chief  priests  and  scribes ;   and  they  led  him  away 

67  into  their  council,  saying.  If  thou  art  the  Christ, 
tell  us.     But  he  said  unto  them.  If  I  tell  you,  ye 

68  will   not  believe :    and  if  I  ask  you,  ye   will   not 

69  answer.  But  from  henceforth  shall  the  Son  of 
man  be  seated  at  the  right  hand  of  the  power  of 

70  God.  And  they  all  said.  Art  thou  then  the  Son 
of  God?     And  he  said  unto  them,  'Ye  say  that  I 

71  am.  And  they  said.  What  further  need  have  we  of 
witness?  for  we  ourselves  have  heard  from  his  own 
mouth. 

^^     And  the  whole  company  of  them   rose  up,  and 

2  brought  him  before  Pi'late.  And  they  began  to 
accuse  him,  saying,  We  found  this  man  perverting 
our  nation,  and  forbidding  to  give  tribute  to  Cse'sar, 

3  and  saying  that  he  himself  is  ^Christ  a  king.  And 
Pi'late  asked  him,  saying.  Art  thou  the  King  of  the 
Jews  ?     And  he  answered  him  and  said.  Thou  sayest. 

4  And  Pi'late  said  unto  the  chief  priests  and  the  mul- 
5titudes,  I  find  no  fault  in  this  man.     But  they  were 

the  more  urgent,  saying.  He  stirreth  up  the  people, 
teaching  throughout  all  Ju-dse'a,  and  beginning  from 

6  Gal'i-lee  even  unto  this  place.  But  when  Pi'late  heard 

7  it,  he  asked  whether  the  man  were  a  Gal-i-lse'an.  And 
when  he  knew  that  he  was  of  Her'od's  jurisdiction, 
he  sent  him  unto  Her'od,  who  himself  also  was  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem  in  these  days. 

8  Now  when  Her'od  saw  Jesus,  he  was  exceeding 
glad:  for  he  was  of  a  long  time  desirous  to  see  him, 
because  he  had  heard  concerning  him ;  and  he  hoped 

9  to  see  some  'miracle  done  by  him.  And  he  ques- 
tioned him  in  many  words;    but  he   answered  him 

10  nothing.     And    the    chief  priests   and   the   scribes 

11  stood,  vehemently  accusing  him.  And  Her'od  with 
his  soldiers  set  him  at  nought,  and  mocked  him,  and 
arraying  him  in  gorgeous  apparel  sent  him  back  to 

12  Pi'late.  And  Her'od  and  Pi'late  became  friends  with 
each  other  that  very  day:  for  before  they  were  at 
enmity  between  themselves. 

13  And  Pi'late  called  together  the  chief  priests  and 

14  the  rulers  and  the  people,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye 
brought  unto  me  this  man,  as  one  that  perverteth 
the  people :  and  behold,  I,  having  examined  him 
before  you,  found  no  fault  in  this  man  touching  those 

15 things  whereof  ye  accuse  him:  no,  nor  yet  Her'od: 
for  he  sent  him  back  unto  us ;  and  behold,  nothing 

16  worthy  of  death  hath  been  done  by  him.     I  will 

18  therefore  chastise  him,  and  release  him.*  But  they 
cried  out  all  together,  saying.  Away  with  this  man. 

19 and  release  unto  us  Ba-rab'bas:  one  who  for  a  cer- 
tain insurrection  made  in  the  city,  and  for  murder, 

20  was  cast  into  prison.     And  Pi'late  spake  unto  them 

21  again,  desiring  to  release  Jesus;   but  they  shouted. 

22  saying.  Crucify,  crucify  him.  And  he  said  unto 
them  the  third  time,  Wliy,  what  evil  hath  this 
man  done?  I  have  found  no  cause  of  death  in 
him  :  I  will  therefore  chastise  him  and  release  him.

23  And  they  were  instant  with  loud  voices,  requiring  that 
he  might  be  crucified :  and  the  voices  of  them  and  of  the 
chief  priests  prevailed. 

24  And  'Pi'late  ||gave  sentence  that  it  should  be  as  they 
required. 

25  And  he  released  unto  them  him  that  for  sedition  and 
murder  was  cast  into  prison,  whom  they  had  desired;  but 
he  delivered  Jesus  to  their  will. 

26  'And  as  they  led  him  away,  they  laid  hold  upon  one 
Si'mon  a  Cy-re'ni-an,  coming  out  of  the  country,  and  on  him 
they  laid  the  cross,  that  he  might  bear  it  after  Jesus. 

27  ^And  there  followed  him  a  great  company  of  people, 
and  of  women,  which  also  bewailed  and  lamented  him. 

28  But  Jesus  turning  ijntothem,  said.  Daughters  of  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem,  weep  not  for  me,  but  weep  for  yourselves,  and  for 
your  children. 

29  "For,  behold,  the  days  are  coming,  in  the  which  they 
shall  say,  Blessed  are  the  barren,  and  the  wombs  that  never 
bare,  and  the  paps  which  never  gave  suck. 

30  "=Then  shall  they  begin  to  say  to  the  mountains.  Fall  on 
us;  and  to  the  hills.  Cover  us. 

31  "For  if  they  do  these  things  in  a  green  tree,  what  shall 
be  done  in  the  dry? 

32  'And  there  were  also  two  others,  malefactors,  led  with 
him  to  be  put  to  death. 

33  And  "when  they  were  come  to  the  place  which  is  called  i 
]|Cal'va-ry,  there  they  crucified  him,  and  the  malefactors,  I 
one  on  the  right  hand,  and  the  other  on  the  left. 

34  ^Then  said  Jesus,  Father,  'forgive  them ;  for  "they  know 
not  what  they  do.  And  "'they  parted  his  raiment,  and  cast  lots. 

35  And  'the  people  stood  beholding.  And  the  ■'rulers 
also  with  them  derided  him,  saying.  He  saved  others;  let 
him  save  himself,  if  he  be  Christ,  the  chosen  of  God. 

36  And  the  soldiers  also  mocked  him,  coming  to  him,  and 
offering  him  vinegar, 

37  And  saying,  If  thou  be  the  Kingof  the  Jews,  save  thyself. 

38  "And  a  superscription  also  was  written  over  him,  in 
letters  of  Greek,  and  Latin,  and  He'brew,  THIS  IS  THE 
KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

39  ^*And  one  of  the  malefactors  which  were  hanged 
railed  on  him,  saying.  If  thou  be  Christ,  save  thyself  and  us. 

40  But  the  other  answering  rebuked  him,  saying.  Dost  not 
thou  fear  God,  seeing  thou  art  in  the  same  condemnation  ? 

41  And  we  indeed  justly;  for  we  receive  the  due  reward 
of  our  deeds :  but  this  man  hath  done  nothing  amiss. 

42  And  he  said  unto  Jesus,  Lord,  remember  me  when 
thou  comest  into  thy  kingdom. 

43  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Verily  I  say  unto  thee.  To- 
day shalt  thou  be  with  me  in  paradise. 

44  *And  it  was  about  the  sixth  hour,  and  there  was  a 
darkness  over  all  the  ||  earth  until  the  ninth  hour. 

45  And  the  sun  was  darkened,  and  *the  veil  of  the  temple 
was  rent  in  the  midst. 

46  l[And  when  Jesus  had  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  he 
said,  'Father,  into  thy  hands  I  commend  my  spirit:  "and 
having  said  thus,  he  gave  up  the  ghost. 

47  "Now,  when  the  centurion  saw  what  was  done,  he  glori- 
fied God,  saying.  Certainly  this  was  a  righteous  man. 

48  And  all  the  people  that  came  together  to  that  sight,  be- 
holding the  things  which  were  done,  smote  their  breasts  and 
returned. 

49  "And  all  his  acquaintance,  and  the  women  that  followed 
him  from  Gal'i-lee,  stood  afar  oif,  beholding  these  things. 

50  ^"And,  behold,  tJiere  was  a  man  named  Jo'seph,  a  coun- 
sellor; and  he  was  a  good  man,  and  a  just: 

51  (The  same  had  not  consented  to  the  counsel  and  deed 
of  them :)  he  was  of  Ar-i-ma-the'a,  a  city  of  the  Jews ;  'who 
also  himself  waited  for  the  kingdom  of  God. 

52  This  man  went  unto  Pi'late,  and  begged  the  body  of  Jesus. 


23  But  they  were  instant  with  loud  voices*  asking  that 
he  miglit  be  crucified.     And  their  voices  prevailed. 

24  And  Pi'late  gave  sentence  that  what  they  asked  for 

25  should  be  done.  And  he  released  him  that  for  in- 
surrection and  murder  had  been  cast  into  prison, 
whom  they  asked  for;  but  Jesus  he  delivered  up  to 
their  will. 

26  And  when  they  led  him  away,  they   laid    hold 
upon  one  Si'mon  of  Cy-re'ne,  coming  from  the  coun 
try,   and   laid   on   him   the   cross,   to  bear  it  after 
Jesus. 

27  And  there  followed  him  a  great  multitude  of  the 
people,  and  of  women  who  bewailed  and  lamented 

28  him.  But  Jesus  turning  unto  them  said,  Daughters 
of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  weep  not  for  me,  but  weep  for  your- 

29  selves,  and  for  your  children.  For  behold,  the  days 
are  coming,  in  which  they  shall  say,  Blessed  are  the

32  And  there  Avere  also  two  others,  malefectors,  led 
with  him  to  be  put  to  death. 

33  And  when  they  came  unto  the  place  which  is 
called  'The  skull,  there  they  crucified  him,  and  the 
malefactors,  one  on  the  right  hand  and  the  other  on 

34 the  left.  ^And  Jesus  said.  Father,  forgive  them;  for 
they  know  not  what  they  do.     And  parting  his  gar 

35  ments  among  them,  they  cast  lots.     And  the  people 
stood    beholding.     And    the  rulers  also  scoffed 
him,  saying.  He  saved  others;   let   him  save  him-

39  And  one  of  the  malefactors  which  were  hanged 
railed  on  him,  saying,  Art  not  thou  the  Christ  ?  save 

40  thyself  and  us.  But  the  other  answered,  and  re 
buking  him  said.  Dost  thou  not  even  fear  God,  seeing 

41  thou  art  in  the  same  condemnation?  And  we  in- 
deed justly;  for  we  receive  the  due  reward  of  our 

42  deeds:  but  this  man  hath  done  nothing  amiss.  And 
he  said,  Jesus,   remember   me    when   thou    comest 

43*in  thy  kingdom.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Verily  I 
say  unto  thee,  To-day  shalt  thou  be  with  me  in 
Paradise. 

44  And  it  was  now  about  the  sixth  hour,  and  a  dark- 
ness came  over  the  whole  ^land  until  the  ninth  hour, 

45'the  sun's  light  falling:  and  the  veil  of  the 'temple

-L'  morning,  they  came  unto  the  sepulchre,  ^bringing  the 
spices  which  they  had  prepared,  and  certain  others  with  them.

about, 'behold,  two  men  stood  by  them  in  shining  garments: 

5  And  as  they  were  afraid,  and  bowed  down  their  faces  to 
the  earth,  they  said  unto  them,  Why  seek  ye  ||the  living

of  sinful  men,  and  be  crucified,  and  the  third  day  rise  again. 

8  And  'they  remembered  his  words, 

9  'And  returned  from  the  sepulchre,  and  told  all  these 
things  unto  the  eleven,  and  to  all  the  rest. 

10  It  was  Mary  Mag-da-le'ne,  and  'Jo-an'na,  and  Ma'ry 
the  mother  of  James,  and  other  women  that  were  with  them, 
which  told  these  things  unto  the  apostles. 

11  *And  their  words  seemed  to  them  as  idle  tales,  and 
they  believed  them  not. 

12  'Then  arose  Pe'ter,  and  ran  unto  the  sepulchre:  and 
stooping  down,  he  beheld  the  linen  clothes  laid  by  them- 
selves, and  departed,  wondering  in  himself  at  that  which 
was  come  to  pass. 

13  ^"And,  behold,  two  of  them  went  that  same  day  to  a 
village  called  Em'ma-us,  which  was  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  about 
threescore  furlongs. 

14  And  they  talked  together  of  all  these  things  which  had 
happened. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while  they  communed  together 
and  reasoned,  "Jesus  himself  drew  near,  and  went  with  them. 

16  But  "their  eyes  were  holden  that  they  should  not  know 
him. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them,  What  manner  of  communica- 
tions are  these  that  ye  have  one  to  another,  as  ye  walk,  and 
are  sad? 

18  And  the  one  of  them,  "whose  name  was  Cle'o-pas,  an- 
swering said  unto  him,  Art  thou  only  a  stranger  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, and  hast  not  known  the  things  which  are  come  to 
pass  there  in  these  days? 

19  And  he  said  unto  them.  What  things?  And  they  said 
unto  him.  Concerning  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  'which  was  a 
prophet  'mighty  in  deed  and  word  before  God  and  all  the 
people : 

20  "And  how  the  chief  priests  and  our  rulers  delivered 
him  to  be  condemned  to  death,  and  have  crucified  him  ? 

21  But  we  trusted  that  it  had  been  he  which  should  have 
redeemed  Is'ra-el :  and  besides  all  this,  to-day  is  the  third 
day  since  these  things  were  done. 

22  Yea,  and  "certain  women  also  of  our  company  made  us 
astonished,  which  were  early  at  the  sepulchre; 

23  And  when  they  found  not  his  body,  they  came,  saying, 
that  they  had  also  seen  a  vision  of  angels,  which  said  that 
he  was  alive. 


53  And  he  took  it  down,  and  wrapped  it  in  a  linen 
cloth,  and   laid   him  in  a  tomb   that  was  hewn   in 

54  stone,  where  never  man  had  yet  lain.  And  it  was 
the  day  of  the  Preparation,  and  the  sabbath  'drew 

65  on.     And  the  women,  which    had  come  with  him 

out  of  Gal'i-lee,  followed  after,  and  beheld  the  tomb, 

56  and  how  his  body  was  laid.     And  they  returned, 

and  prepared  spices  and  ointments. 
^  .      And  on  the  sabbath  they  rested  according  to  the 
^^  commandment.     But  on  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
at  early  dawn,  they  came  unto  the  tomb,  bringing 
2  the  spices  which   they    had    prepared.     And   they 
3 found  the  stone  rolled  away  from  the  tomb.     And 
they  entered   in,  and   found    not  the  body  'of  the 
4  Lord  Jesus.     And  it  came  to  pass,  while  they  were 
perplexed   thereabout,  behold,  two   men   stood   by 
5 them   in   dazzling  apparel:   and  as  they  were  af- 
frighted, and  bowed  down  their  faces  to  the  earth, 
they  said  unto  them.  Why  seek  ye  hlae  living  among 

6  the  dead  ?    ''He  is  not  here,  but  is  risen :  remember 
how  he  spake  unto  you  when  he  was  yet  in  Gal'i-lee, 

7  saying  that  the  Son  of  man  must  be  delivered  up 
into  the  hands  of  sinful  men,  and  be  crucified,  and 

8  the  third  day  rise  again.     And  they  remembered 

9  his  words,  and  returned  '^from  the  tomb,  and  told 
all  these  things  to  the  eleven,  and  to  ail  the  rest. 

10  Now  they  were  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne,  and  Jo-an'na,  and 
Ma'ry  the  mother  of  James :  and  the  other  women 

11  with  them  told  these  things  unto  the  apostles.  And 
these  words  appeared  in  their  sight  as  idle  talk ; 

12  and  they  disbelieved  them.  'But  Pe'ter  arose,  and 
ran  unto  the  tomb;  and  stooping  and  looking  in 
he  seeth  the  linen  cloths  by  themselves;  and  he 
'departed  to  his  home,  wondering  at  that  which  was 
come  to  pass. 

13  And  behold,  two  of  them  were  going  that  very 
day  to  a  village  named  Em'ma-us,  which  was  three- 

14  score  furlongs  from  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  they  com- 
muned with   each  other  of  all  these  things  which 

15  had  happened.  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  they 
communed  and  questioned  together,  that  Jesus  him- 

16  self  drew  near,  and  went  with  them.  But  their 
eyes    were    holden    that    they    should    not    know 

17  him.  And  he  said  unto  them,  'What  communica- 
tions are  these  that  ye   have  one  with  another,  as 

18 ye  walk?  And  they  stood  still,  looking  sad.  And 
one  of  them,  named  Cle'o-pas,  answering  said  unto 
him,  'Dost  thou  alone  sojourn  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  and  not 
know  the  things  which  are  come  to  pass  there  in 

19  these  days?  And  he  said  unto  them.  What  things? 
And  they  said  unto  him,  The  things  concerning 
Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  which  was  a  prophet  mighty  in 

20 deed  and  word  before  God  and  all  the  people:  and 
how  the  chief  priests  and  our  rulers  delivered  him 
up  to  be  condemned  to   death,  and  crucified  him. 

21  But  we  hoped  that  it  was  he  which  should  redeem 
Is'ra-el.     Yea  and  beside  all  this,  it  is  now  the  third 

22  day  since  these  things  came  to  pass.  Moreover 
certain  women  of  our  company  amazed  us,  having 

23 been  early  at  the  tomb;  and  when  they  found  not 
his  body,  they  came,  saying  that  they  had  also  seen 
a  vision    of  angels,  which  said  that  he  was  alive.

24  And  *centain  of  them  which  were  with  us  went  to  the 
sepulchre,  and  found  U  even  so  as  the  women  had  said :  but 
him  they  saw  not. 

25  Then  he  said  unto  them,  O  fools,  and  slow  of  heart  to 
believe  all  that  the  prophets  have  spoken : 

26  "Ought  not  Christ  to  have  suffered  these  things,  and  to 
enter  into  his  glory  ? 

27  "And  beginning  at  "Mo'ses  and  ''all  the  prophets,  he 
expounded  unto  them  in  all  the  Scriptures  the  things  con- 
cerning himself. 

28  And  they  drew  nigh  unto  the  village,  whither  they  went : 
and  "he  made  as  though  he  would  have  gone  further. 

29  But  ''they  constrained  him,  saying.  Abide  with  us ;  for 
it  is  toward  evening,  and  the  day  is  far  .spent.  And  he  went 
in  to  tarry  with  them. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sat  at  meat  with  them,  'he 
took  bread,  and  blessed  it,  and  brake,  and  gave  to  them. 

31  And  their  eyes  were  opened,  and  they  knew  him ;  and 
he  II  vanished  out  of  their  sight. 

32  And  they  said  one  to  another,  Did  not  our  heart  burn 
within  us  while  he  talked  with  us  by  the  way,  and  while  he 
opened  to  us  the  Scriptures  ? 

33  And  they  rose  up  the  same  hour,  and  returned  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  found  the  eleven  gathered  together,  and 
them  that  were  with  them, 

34  Saying,  The  Lord  is  risen  indeed,  and  •'hath  appeared 
to  Si'mon. 

35  And  they  told  what  things  were  done  in  the  way,  and 
how  he  was  known  of  them  in  breaking  of  bread. 

36  ^"And  as  they  thus  spake,  Jesus  himself  stood  in  the 
midst  of  them,  and  saith  unto  them.  Peace  be  unto  you. 

37  But  they  were  terrified  and  affrighted,  and  supposed 
that  they  had  seen  *a  spirit. 

38  And  he  said  unto  them,  Why  are  ye  troubled?  and 
why  do  thoughts  arise  in  your  hearts  ? 

39  Behold  my  hands  and  my  feet,  that  it  is  I  myself: 
'handle  me,  and  see ;  for  a  spirit  hath  not  flesh  and  bones, 
as  ye  see  me  have. 

40  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  shewed  them  his 
hands  and  his  feet. 

41  And  while  they  yet  believed  not  *for  joy,  and  wondered, 
he  said  unto  them,  'Have  ye  here  any  meat  ? 

42  And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a  broiled  fish,  and  of  a 
honeycomb. 

43  "And  he  took  it,  and  did  eat  before  them. 

44  And  he  said  unto  them,  "These  are  the  words  which  I 
spake  unto  you,  while  I  was  yet  with  you,  that  all  things 
must  be  fulfilled,  which  were  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses, 
and  in  the  prophets,  and  in  the  p.salms,  concerning  me. 

45  Then  "opened  he  their  understanding,  that  they  might 
understand  the  Scriptures, 

46  And  said  unto  them, ''Thus  it  is  written,  and  thus  it 
behooved  Christ  to  suffer,  and  to  rise  from  the  dead  the 
third  day : 

47  And  that  repentance  and  'remission  of  sins  should  be 
preached  in  his  name  ''among  all  nations,  beginning  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

48  And  'ye  are  witnesses  of  these  things. 

49  ^'And,  behold,  I  send  the  promise  of  my  Father  upon 
you :  but  tarry  ye  in  the  city  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  until  ye  be 
endued  with  power  from  on  high. 

50  ^And  he  led  them  out  as  "far  as  to  Beth'a-ny,  and  he 
lifted  up  his  hands,  and  blessed  them. 

51  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  while  he  blessed  them,  he  was 
parted  from  them,  and  carried  up  into  heaven. 

52  "And  they  worshipped  him,  and  returned  to  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  with  great  joy : 

53  And  were  continually  'in  the  temple,  praising  and 
blessing  God.     Amen. 


'Or, 
after 


20r, 


24  And  certain  of  them  that  were  with  us  went  to  the 
tomb,  and  found  it  even  so  as  the  women  had  said 

25  but  him  they  saw  not.  And  he  said  unto  them,  O 
foolish  men,  and  slow  of  heart  to  believe  'in  all  that 

26  the  prophets  have  spoken !  Behoved  it  not  the 
Christ  to  suffer  these  thing.s,  and  to  enter  into  his 

27 glory?  And  beginning  from  Mo'ses  and  from  all 
the  prophets,  he  interpreted  to  them  in  all  the  scrip- 

28  tures  the  things  concerning  himself.  And  they  drew 
nigh  unto  the  village,  whither  they  were  going:  and 

29  he  made  as  though  he  would  go  further.  And 
they  constrained  him,  saying.  Abide  with  us:  for  it 
is  toward  evening,  and   the  day  is  now  far  spent. 

30  And  he  went  in  to  abide  with  them.  And  it  came 
to  pass,  when  he  had  sat  down  with  them  to  meat, 
he  took  the  ^bread,  and  blessed  it,  and  brake,  and 

31  gave  to  them.  And  their  eyes  were  opened,  and 
they  knew  him ;  and  he  vanished  out  of  their  sight. 

32  And  they  said  one  to  another,  Was  not  our  heart 
burning  within  us,  while  he  spake  to  us  in  the  way, 

33 while  he  opened  to  us  the  scriptures?  And  they 
rose  up  that  very  hour,  and  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
and  found  the  eleven  gathered  together,  and  them 

34 that  were  with  them,  saying,  The  Lord  is  risen  in- 

35  deed,  and  hath  appeared  to  Si'mon.  And  they  re- 
hearsed the  things  that  happened  in  the  way,  and 
how  he  was  known  of  them  in  the  breaking  of  the 
bread. 

36  And  as  they  spake  these  things,  he  himself  stood 
in  the  midst  of  them,  'and  saith  unto  them.  Peace  be 

37  unto  you.     But  they  were  terrified  and  affrighted, 

38  and  supposed  that  they  beheld  a  spirit.  And  he 
said  unto  them.  Why  are  ye  troubled?  and  where- 

39  fore  do  reasonings  arise  in  your  heart  ?  See  my 
hands  and  my  feet,  that  it  is  I  myself:  handle  me, 
and  see;    for  a  spirit  hath   not  flesh  and  bones,  as 

40 ye  behold  me  having.    ^And  when  he  had  said  this, 

41  he  shewed  them  his  hands  and  his  feet.  And  while 
they  still  disbelieved  for  joy,  and  wondered,  he  said 

42  unto  them.  Have   ye   here  anything  to  eat?     And 

43  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a  broiled  fish'.  And  he 
took  it,  and  did  eat  before  them. 

44  And  he  said  unto  them.  These  are  my  words 
which  I  spake  unto  you,  while  I  was  yet  with  you, 
how  that  all  things  must  needs  be  fulfilled,  which 
are  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  and  the  prophets, 

45  and  the  psalms,  concerning  me.  Then  opened  he 
their  mind,  that  they  might  understand  the  scrip- 

46 tures;  and  he  said  unto  them.  Thus  it  is  written, 
that  the  Christ  should  suffer,  and  rise  again  from 

47  the  dead  the  third  day ;  and  that  repentance  'and 
remission  of  sins   should  be  preached  in  his  name 

48  unto  all  the  ^nations,  beginning  from  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Ye 

49  are  witnesses  of  these  thing.s.     And  behold,  I  send  «some 
forth   the   promise  of  my   Father   upon   you :   but 
tarry  ye  in  the  city,  until  ye  be  clothed  with  power 
from  on  high. 

50  And  he  led  them  out  until  they  were  over  against 
Beth'a-ny :   and  he  lifted  up  his  hands,  and  bles.sed 

51  them.  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  he  blessed  them, 
he    parted    from    them,  'and    was  carried   up  into 

52  heaven.     And  they 'worshipped  him,  and  returned 

53  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  great  joy :  and  were  continually 
in  the  temple,  blessing  God.

THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 

S.  JOHN. 


CHAPTER   I. 

The  divinity  of  Christ— John' s  testimony  of  him. 

IN  the  beginning  "was  the   Word,  and   the  Word  was 
^with  God,  ''and  the  Word  was  God. 

2  ■'The  same  was  in  the  beginning  with  God. 

3  'All  things  were  made  by  him ;  and  without  him  was 
not  any  thing  made  that  was  made. 

4  •'^In  him  was  life;  and  "the  life  was  the  light  of  men. 

5  And  *the  light  shineth  in  darkness;  and  the  darkness 
comprehended  it  not. 

6  il'There  was  a  man  sent  from  God,  whose  name  was  John. 

7  ''The  same  came  for  a  witness,  to  bear  witness  of  the 
Light,  that  all  men  through  him  might  believe. 

8  He  was  not  that  Light,  but  was  sent  to  bear  witness  of 
that  Light. 

9  ^That  was  the  true  Light,  which  lighteth  every  man  that 
Cometh  into  the  world. 

10  He  was  in  the  world,  and  "the  world  was  made  by  him, 
and  the  world  knew  him  not. 

11  "He  came  unto  his  own,  and  his  own  received  him  not. 

12  But  "as  many  as  received  him,  to  them  gave  he  ||powerto 
become  the  sons  of  God,  even  to  them  that  belie  ve  on  his  name : 

13  ''AVhich  were  born,  not  of  blood,  nor  of  the  will  of  the 
flesh,  nor  of  the  will  of  man,  but  of  God. 

14  "And  the  Word  ""was  made  'flesh,  and  dwelt  among  us, 
(and  'we  beheld  his  glory,  the  glory  as  of  the  only  begotten 
of  the  Father,)  "full  of  grace  and  truth. 

15  ^""John  bare  witness  of  him,  and  cried,  .saying,  This 
was  he  of  whom  I  spake,  ""He  that  cometh  after  me  is  pre- 
ferred before  me  ;  "for  he  was  before  me. 

16  And  of  his  'fulness  have  all  we  received,  and  grace  for 
grace. 

17  For  "the  law  was  given  by  Mo'ses,  hut  'grace  and  ''truth 
came  by  Jesus  Christ. 

18  ''No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any  time;  'the  only  begotten 
Son,  which  is  in  the  bosom  of  the  Father,  he  hath  declared  him. 

19  ^And  this  is^the  record  of  John,  when  the  Jews  sent 
priests  and  Le'vitesfrom  Je-ru'salem,  toask  him.  Who  art  thou? 

20  And  "he  confessed,  and  denied  not;  but  confessed,  I  am 
not  the  Christ. 

21  And  they  asked  him.  What  then?  Art  thou  'E-li'as? 
And  he  saith,  I  am  not.  Art  thou  'Hthat  prophet?  And 
he  answered.  No. 

22  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Who  art  thou?  that  we  may  give 
an  answer  to  them  that  sent  us.    What  saye.st  thou  of  thyself? 

23  'He  said,  I  am  the  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness. 
Make  straigiit  the  way  of  the  Lord,  as  'said  the  prophet  E-sa'ias. 

24  And  they  which  were  sent  were  of  the  Phar'i-sees. 

25  And  they  asked  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Why  bap- 
tizest  thou  then,  if  thou  be  not  that  Christ,  nor  E-li'as, 
neither  that  prophet? 

26  John  answered  them,  saying,  "I  baptize  with  water: 
"but  there  standeth  one  among  you,  whom  ye  know  not; 

27  °He  it  is,  who  coming  after  me  is  preferred  before  me, 
whose  shoe's  latehet  I  am  not  worthy  to  unloose. 

28  These  things  were  done  "in  Beth-ab'a-ra  beyond  Jor'dan, 
where  John  was  baptizing. 

29  TJThe  next  day  John  seeth  Jesus  coming  unto  him,  and 
saith.  Behold  "the  Lamb  of  God,  •'which  |1  taketh  away  the 
sin  of  the  world ! 

30  'This  is  he  of  whom  I  said,  After  me  cometh  a  man 
which  is  preferred  before  me ;  for  he  was  before  me. 


THE  GOSPEL  ACCORDING  TO 


S.  JOHN. 


*■     In  the  beginning  was  the  Word,  and  the  Word 

2  was  with  God,  aud  the  Word  was  God.     The  same 

3  was  in  the  beginning  with  God.     All  things  were 
made  'by  him :  aud  without  him  ^was  not  anything 

4  made  that  hath  been  made.     In  him  was  life;    and 

5  the  life  was  the  light  of  men.     And  the  light  shineth 
in  the  darkness ;  and  the  darkness  'apprehended  it 

6  not.     There  came  a  man,  sent  from  God,  whose  name 

7  was  John.     The  same  came  for  witnes.s,  that  he  might 
bear  witness  of  the   light,  that  all    might   believe 

8  through  him.     He  was  not  che  light,  but  came  that 

9  he  might  bear  witness  of  the  light.     ''There  was  the 
true  light,  even  the  light  which  lighteth  'every  man, 

lOcoming  into  the  world.  He  was  in  the  world,  and 
the  world  was  made  'by  him,  and  the  world  knew 

11  him   not.     He  came  unto  'his  own,  and  they  that 

12  were  his  own  received  him  not.  But  as  many  as  re- 
ceived him,  to  them  gave  he  the  right  to  become 
children  of  God,  even  to  them   that  believe  on  his 

13 name:  which  were  'born,  not  of  'blood,  nor  of  the 
will  of  the  flesh,  nor  of  the  will  of  man,  but  of  God. 

14  And  the  Word  became  flesh,  aud  'dwelt  among  us 
(and  we  beheld  his  glory,  glory  as  of  '"the  only  be- 
gotten  from  the   Father),   full  of  grace  and  truth. 

15  John  beareth  witness  of  him,  and  crieth,  saying, 
"This  was  he  of  whom  I  said.  He  that  cometh  after 
me  is  become  before  me :    for  he  was  '^before  me. 

16  For  of  his  fulness  we  all  received,  and   grace  for 

17  grace.     For   the   law  was  given 'by  Mo'ses;    grace 

18  and  truth  came  'by  Jesus  Christ.  No  man  hath 
seen  God  at  any  time ;  ''the  only  begotten  Son, 
which  is  in  the  bosom  of  the  Father,  he  hath  de- 
clared him. 

19  And  this  is  the  witness  of  John,  when  the  Jews 
sent  unto  him  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  priests  and  Le'vites  to 

20ask  him.  Who  art  thou?  And  he  confessed,  and 
denied  not;  and  he  confessed,  I  am  not  the  Christ. 

21  And  they  asked  him.  What  then?  Art  thou  E-li'jah? 
And  he  saith,  I  am  not.     Art  thou  the  prophet? 

22  And  he  answered.  No.  They  said  therefore  unto 
him.  Who  art  thou  ?  that  we  may  give  an  answer  to 
them  that  sent  us.     What  sayest  thou  of  thyself? 

23  He  said,  I  am  the  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilder- 
ness. Make   straight  the  way  of  the  Lord,  as  said 

24 1-sa'iah  the  prophet.    '^And  they  had  been  sent  from 
25  the  Phar'i-.sees.     And  they  asked  him,  and  said  unto 

him.  Why  then  baptizest  thou,  if  thou  art  not  the 
26 Christ,  neither  E-li'jah,  neither  the  prophet?   John 

answered  them,  saying,  I  baptize  "with  water:  in  the 
27  midst  of  you  standeth  one  whom  ye  know  not,  even 

he  that  cometh  after  me,  the  latehet  of  whose  shoe 
28 1  am  not  worthy  to  unloose.     These   things  were 

done  in  '*Beth'a-ny  beyond  Jor'dan,  where  John  was 

baptizing. 
29      On    the    morrow   he    seeth    Jesus    coming    unto 

him,  and   saith,  Behold,  the  Lamb  of  God,  which 
30 "taketh   away   the   sin    of  the  world!    This  is   he 

of  whom   I  said,  After  me  cometh  a  man  which 

is    become    before    me:    for    he    was    '^before    me.

32  "And  John  bare  record,  saying,  I  saw  the  Spirit  de- 
scending from  heaven  like  a  dove,  and  it  abode  upon  him. 

33  And  I  knew  him  not:  but  he  that  sent  me  to  baptize 
with  water,  the  same  said  unto  me,  Upon  whom  thou  shalt 
see  the  Spirit  descending  and  remaining  on  him,  "'the  same 
is  he  which  baptizeth  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

34  And  I  saw,  and  bare  record,  that  this  is  the  Son  of  God. 

35  T[ Again  the  next  day  after,  John  stood,  and  two  of  his 
disciples ; 

36  And  looking  upon  Jesus  as  he  walked,  he  saith,  "Be- 
hold the  Lamb  of  God ! 

37  And  the  two  disciples  heard  him  speak,  and  they  fol- 
lowed Jesus. 

38  Then  Jesus  turned,  and  saw  them  following,  and  saith 
unto  them,  What  seek  ye?  They  said  unto  him.  Rabbi, 
(which  is  to  say,  being  interpreted.  Master,)  where  |i  dwell- 
est  thou  ? 

39  He  saith  unto  them.  Come  and  see.  They  came  and 
saw  where  he  dwelt,  and  abode  with  him  that  day :  for  it 
was  II  about  the  tenth  hour. 

40  One  of  the  two  which  heard  John  speak,  and  fol- 
lowed him,  was  'An'drew,  Si'mon  Pe'ter's  brother. 

41  He  first  findeth  his  own  brother  Si'mon,  and  saith  unto 
him.  We  have  found  the  Mes-si'as;  which  is,  being  inter- 
preted, II  the  Christ. 

42  And  he  brought  him  to  Jesus.  And  when  Jesus  beheld 
him,  he  said.  Thou  art  Si'mon  the  son  of  Jo'na:  "thou  shalt 
be  called  Ce'phas,  which  is  by  interpretation,  ||  A  stone. 

43  "[[The  day  following  Jesus  would  go  forth  into  Gal'i-lee, 
and  findeth  Phil'ip,  and  saith  unto  him.  Follow  me. 

44  Now  '"Phil'ip  was  of  Beth-sa'i-da,  the  city  of  An'drew 
and  Pe'ter. 

45  Phil'ip  findeth  "Na-than'a-el,  and  saith  unto  him.  We  have 
found  him  of  whom  ''Mo'ses  in  the  law,  and  the  'prophets, 
did  write,  Jesus  •'^of  Naz'a-reth,  the  son  of  Jo'seph. 

46  And  Na-than'a-el  said  unto  him,  "Can  there  any  good 
thing  come  out  of  Naz'a-reth  ?  Phil'ip  saith  unto  him. 
Come  and  see. 

47  Jesus  saw  Na-than'a-el  coming  to  him,  and  saith  of  him. 
Behold  'an  Is'ra-el-ite  indeed,  in  whom  is  no  guile ! 

48  Na-than'a-el  saith  unto  him,  Whence  knowest  thou  me  ? 
Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Before  that  Phil'ip  called 
thee,  when  thou  wast  under  the  fig  tree,  I  saw  thee. 

49  Na-than'a-el  answered  and  saith  unto  him.  Rabbi,  'thou 
art  the  Son  of  God ;  thou  art  *the  King  of  Is'ra-el. 

50  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Because  I  said  unto 
thee,  I  saw  thee  under  the  fig  tree,  believest  thou?  thou 
shalt  see  greater  things  than  these. 

51  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
'Hereafter  ye  shall  see  heaven  open,  and  the  angels  of  God 
ascending  and  descending  upon  the  Son  of  man. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Christ  turneth  water  into  wine. 

AND  the  third  day  there  was  a  marriage  in  "Ca'na  of 
Gal'i-lee ;  and  the  mother  of  Jesus  was  there : 

2  Andboth  Jesus  wascalled,and  his  disciples,  to  the  marriage. 

3  And  when  they  wanted  wine,  the  mother  of  Jesus  saith 
unto  him.  They  have  no  wine. 

4  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  'Woman,  "what  have  I  to  do  with 
thee?  ''mine  hour  is  not  yet  come. 

5  His  mother  saith  unto  the  servants.  Whatsoever  he  saith 
unto  you,  do  U. 

6  And  there  were  set  there  six  waterpots  of  stone,  'after 
the  manner  of  the  purifying  of  the  Jews,  containing  two  or 
three  1|  firkins  apiece. 

7  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Fill  the  waterpots  with  water. 
And  they  filled  them  up  to  the  brim. 


SI  And  I  knew  him  not ;  bnt  that  he  should  be  made 
manifest  to  Is'ra-el,  for  this  cause  came  I  baptizing 

32 'with  water.  And  John  bare  witness,  saying,  I  have 
beheld  the  Spirit  descending  as  a  dove  out  of  heaven ; 

33 and  it  abode  upon  him.  And  I  knew  him  not:  but 
he  that  sent  me  to  baptize  'with  water,  he  said  unto 
me.  Upon  whom.soever  thou  shalt  see  the  Spirit 
descending,  and  abiding  upon  him,  the  same  is  he 

34  that  baptizeth  'with  the  Holy  Spirit.  And  I  have 
seen,  and  have  borne  witness  that  this  is  the  Son 
of  God. 

35  Again  on  the  morrow  John  was  standing,  and  two 
36 of  his  disciples;  and  he   looked  upon   Jesus  as  he 

37  walked,  and  saith.  Behold  the  Lamb  of  God !  And 
the  two  disciples  heard  him  speak,  and  they  followed 

38  Jesus.  And  Jesus  turned,  and  beheld  them  follow- 
ing, and  saith  unto  them.  What  seek  ye  ?  And  they 
said  unto  him.  Rabbi  (which  is  to  say,  being  inter- 

39preted,  ^Master),  where  abidest  thou?  He  saith 
unto  them,  Come,  and  ye  shall  see.  They  came 
therefore  and  saw  where  he  abode ;  and  they  abode 
with  him  that  day:    it   was   about  the   tenth  hour. 

40  One  of  the  two  that  heard  John  speak,  and  followed 

41  him,  was  An'drew,  Si'mon  Pe'ter's  brother.  He  find- 
eth first  his  own  brother  Si'mon,  and  saith  unto  him. 
We  have  found  the  Mes-si'ah  (which  is,  being  inter- 

42  preted,  'Christ).  He  brought  him  unto  Jesus.  Jesus 
looked  upon  him,  and  said.  Thou  art  Si'mon  the  son 
of  ^John :  thou  shalt  be  called  Ce'phas  (which  is  by 
interpretation,  'Pe'ter). 

43  On  the  morrow  he  was  minded  to  go  forth  into 
Gal'i-lee,  and  he  findeth  Phil'ip:  and  Jesus  saith  unto 

44  him.  Follow  me.     Now  Phil'ip  was  from  Beth-sa'i-da, 

45  of  the  city  of  An'drew  and  Pe'ter.  Phil'ip  findeth 
Na-than'a-el,  and  saith  unto  him.  We  have  found  him, 

of  whom   Mo'ses  in  the   law,  and  the  prophets,  did 

46  write,  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  the  son  of  Jo'seph.  And 
Na-than'a-el  said  unto  him.  Can  any  good  thing  come 
out  of  Naz'a-reth  ?  Phil'ip  saith  unto  him.  Come  and 

47  see.  Jesus  saw  Na-than'a-el  coming  to  him,  and  saith 
of  him.  Behold,  an  Is'ra-el-ite  indeed,  in  whom  is  no 

48  guile !  Na-than'a-el  saith  unto  him.  Whence  kuowest 
thou  me?  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Be- 
fore Phil'ip  called  thee,  when   thou  wast  under  the 

49  fig  tree,  I  saw  thee.  Na-than'a-el  answered  him,  Rabbi, 
thou  art  the  Son  of  God;  thou  art  King  of  Is'ra-el. 

50  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Because  I  said 
unto  thee,  I  saw  thee  underneath  the  fig  tree,  be- 
lievest thou?    thou   shalt  see  greater  things  than 

51  these.  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you.  Ye  shall  see  the  heaven  opened,  and  the 
angels  of  God  ascending  and  descending  upon  the 
Son  of  man. 

^  And  the  third  day  there  was  a  marriage  in  Ca'na 
of  Gal'i-lee ;  and  the  mother  of  Jesus   was  there : 

2  and  Jesus  also    was  bidden,  and   his   disciples,  to 

3  the  marriage.  And  when  the  wine  failed,  the 
mother    of  Jesus   saith   unto    him.  They    have  no 

4  wine.  And  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Woman,  what 
have   1  to    do    with    thee?   mine    hour  is  not   yet 

5  come.     His  mother  saith  unto  the  servants,  What- 

6  soever  he  saith  unto  you,  do  it.  Now  there  were 
six  waterpots  of  stone  set  there  after  the  Jews' 
manner  of  purifying,  containing  two  or  three  firkins 

7  apiece.  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Fill  the  waterpots 
with  water.     And  they  filled  them  up  to  the  brim.

8  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out  now,  and  bear  unto 
the  governor  of  the  feast.     And  they  bare  it. 

9  When  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had  tasted  •^the  water  that 
was  made  wine,  and  knew  not  whence  it  was,  (but  the  serv- 
ants which  drew  the  water  knewj)  the  governor  of  the  feast 
called  the  bridegroom, 

10  And  saith  unto  him,  Every  man  at  the  beginning  doth  set 
forth  good  wine;  and  when  men  have  well  drunk,  then  that 
which  is  worse :  but  thou  hast  kept  the  good  wine  until  now. 

11  This  beginning  of  miracles  did  Jesus  in  Ca'na  of  Gal'i- 
lee,  "and  manifested  forth  his  glory;  and  his  disciples  be- 
lieved on  him. 

12  ^  After  this  he  went  down  to  Ca-per'na-um,  he,  and  his 
mother,  and  ''his  brethren,  and  his  disciples ;  and  they  con- 
tinued there  not  many  days. 

13  ^'And  the  Jews'  passover  was  at  hand,  and  Jesus  went 
up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14  *And  found  in  the  temple  those  that  sold  oxen  and 
sheep  and  doves,  and  the  changers  of  money  sitting: 

15  And  when  he  had  made  a  scourge  of  small  cords,  he 
drove  them  all  out  of  the  temple,  and  the  sheep,  and  the  oxen ; 
and  poured  out  the  changers'  money,  and  overthrew  the  tables ; 

16  And  said  unto  them  that  sold  doves.  Take  these  things 
hence ;  make  not  'my  Father's  house  a  house  of  merchandise. 

17  And  his  disciples  remembered  that  it  was  written, 
'"The  zeal  of  thine  house  hath  eaten  me  up. 

18  ^Then  answered  the  Jews  and  said  unto  him,  "What  sign 
shewest  thou  unto  us,  seeing  that  thou  doest  these  things? 

19  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "Destroy  this  tem- 
ple, and  in  three  days  I  will  raise  it  up. 

20  Then  said  the  Jews,  Forty  and  six  years  was  this  tem- 
ple in  building,  and  wilt  thou  rear  it  up  in  three  days? 

21  But  he  spake  "of  the  temple  of  his  body. 

22  When  therefore  he  was  risen  from  the  dead,  'his  disci- 
ples remembered  that  he  had  said  this  unto  them ;  and  they 
believed  the  Scripture,  and  the  word  which  Jesus  had  said. 

23  ^Now  when  he  was  in  Je-ru'sa-lera  at  the  passover,  in 
the  feast  day,  many  believed  in  his  name,  when  they  saw 
the  miracles  which  he  did. 

24  But  Jesus  did  not  commit  himself  unto  them,  because 
he  knew  all  men, 

25  And  needed  not  that  any  should  testify  of  man  :  for  'he 
knew  what  was  in  man. 

CHAPTER  III. 

The  necessity  of  regeneration, 

THERE  was  a  man  of  the  Phar'i-sees  named  Nic-o-de'mus, 
a  ruler  of  the  Jews : 

2  "The  same  came  to  Jesus  by  night,  and  said  unto  him,  Rab- 
bijWe  know  that  thou  art  a  teacher  come  from  God :  for ''no  man 
can  do  these  miracles  that  thou  doest,  except  "God  be  with  him. 

3  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  thee,  ''Except  a  man  be  born  ||  again,  he  cannot  see 
the  kingdom  of  God. 

4  Nic-o-de'mus  saith  unto  him,  How  can  a  man  be  born 
when  he  is  old?  can  he  enter  the  second  time  into  his 
mother's  womb,  and  be  born? 

5  Jesus  answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  'Except 
a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he  cannot  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

6  That  which  is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh ;  and  that  which 
is  born  of  the  Spirit  is  spirit. 

7  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee.  Ye  must  be  born  ||  again. 

8  •'^The  wind  bloweth  where  ,it  listeth,  and  thou  hearest 
the  sound  thereof,  but  canst  not  tell  whence  it  cometh,  and 
whither  it  goeth :  so  is  every  one  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit. 

9  Nic-o-de'mus  answered  and  said  unto  h  im,  "How  can 
these  things  be? 

10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  a  master 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  knowest  not  these  things? 


8  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out  now,  and  bear 

9  unto  the  'ruler  of  the  feast.  And  they  bare  it.  And 
when  the  ruler  of  the  feast  tasted  the  water  ^now 
become  wine,  and  knew  not  whence  it  was  (but  the 
servants  which  had  drawn  the  water  knew),  the  ruler 

10  of  the  feast  calleth  the  bridegroom,  and  saith  unto 
him.  Every  man  setteth  on  first  the  good  wine ;  and 
when  men  have  drunk  freely,  then  that  which  is 
worse:  thou   hast   kept  the  good  wine  until   now. 

11  This  beginning  of  his  signs  did  Jesus  in  Ca'na  of 
Gal'i-lee,  and  manifested  his  glory ;  and  his  disciples 
believed  on  him. 

12  After  this  he  went  down  to  Ca-per'na-um,  he,  and 
his  mother,  and  his  brethren,  and  his  disciples :  and 
there  they  abode  not  many  days. 

13  And  the  passover  of  the  Jews  was  at  hand,  and 

14  Jesus  went  up  to  Je-ru'.sa-len.  And  he  found  in  the 
temple  those  that  sold  oxen  and  sheep  and  doves, 

15 and  the  changers  of  money  sitting:  and  he  made  a 
scourge  of  cords,  and  cast  all  out  of  the  temple,  both 
the  sheep  and   the   oxen;    and   he   poured  out   the 

16 changers'  money,  and  overthrew  their  tables;  and 
to  them  that  sold  the  doves  he  said.  Take  these 
things  hence;  make  not  my  Father's  house  a  house 

17  of  merchandise.  His  disciples  remembered  that  it 
was  written.  The  zeal  of  thine  house  shall  eat  me 

18  up.  The  Jews  therefore  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  What  sign  shewest  thou  unto   us,  seeing  that 

19 thou  doest  these  things?  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  Destroy  this  Hemple,  and  in  three  days 

201  will  raise  it  up.  The  Jews  therefore  said.  Forty 
and  six  years  was  this  Hemple  in  building,  and  wilt 

21  thou  raise  it  up  in  three  days  ?     But  he  spake  of  the 

22 'temple  of  his  body.  When  therefore  he  was  raised 
from  the  dead,  his  disciples  remembered  that  he 
spake  this ;  and  they  believed  the  scripture,  and  the 
word  which  Jesus  had  said. 

23  Now  when  he  was  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  at  the  passover, 
during  the  feast,  many  believed  on  his  name,  beholding 

24  his  signs  which  he  did.     But  Jesus  did  not  trust  him- 

25  self  unto  them,  for  that  he  knew  all  men,  and  because 
he  needed  not  that  any  one  should  bear  witness  con- 
cerning ^man ;  for  he  himself  knew  what  was  in  man. 

V      Now  there  was  a  man   of  the  Phar'i-sees,  named 

2  Nic-o-de'mus,  a  ruler  of  the  Jews:  the  same  came  unto 
him  by  night,  and  said  to  him,  Rabbi,  we  know  that 
thou  art  a  teacher  come  from  God :  for  no  man  can 
do  these  signs  that  thou  doest,  except  God  be  with 

3  him.  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Except  a  man  be  born  'anew, 

4  he  cannot  see  the  kingdom  of  God.  Nic-o-de'mus 
saith  unto  him.  How  can  a  man  be  born  when  he  is 
old?   can  he  enter  a  second  time  into  his  mother's 

5  womb,  and  be  born  ?  Jesus  answered,  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  thee,  Except  a  man  be  born  of  water  and 
the  Spirit,  he  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

6  That  which  is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh ;    and  that 

7  which  is  born  of  the  Spirit  is  spirit.     Marvel  not 

8  that  I  said  unto  thee,  Ye  must  be  born  'anew.  *The 
wind  bloweth  where  it  listeth,  and  thou  hearest 
the  voice  thereof,  but  knowest  not  whence  it  com- 
eth, and   whither   it   goeth ;    so    is   every   one   that 

9  is  born  of  the  Spirit.     Nic-o-de'mus  answered  and 
10 said  unto   him,  How  can    these   things  be?     Jesus 

answered  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  the  teacher 
of  Is'ra-el,  and  understandest    not    these   things?

1 1  *  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee.  We  speak  that  we  do  know, 
and  testify  that  we  have  seen ;  and 'ye  receive  notour  witness. 

12  If  I  have  told  you  earthly  things,  and  ye  believe  not, 
how  shall  ye  believe,  if  I  tell  you  of  heavenly  things? 

13  And  *no  man  hath  ascended  up  to  hea  ven,but  he  that  came 
down  from  heaven,  even  the  Son  of  man  which  is  in  heaven. 

14  ^'And  as  Mo'ses  lifled  up  the  serpent  in  the  wilderness, 
even  so  ""must  the  Son  of  man  be  lifted  up : 

15  That  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should  not  perish, 
but  "have  eternal  life. 

16  ^°For  God  so  loved  the  world,  that  he  gave  his  only 
begotten  Son,  that  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should  not 
perish,  but  have  everlasting  life. 

17  ''For  God  sent  not  his  Son  into  the  world  to  condemn 
the  world ;  but  that  the  world  through  him  might  be  saved. 

18  ^'He  that  believeth  on  him,  is  not  condemned :  but  he 
that  believeth  not  is  condemned  already,  because  he  hath 
not  believed  in  the  name  of  the  only  begotten  Son  of  God. 

19  And  this  is  the  condemnation,  ''that  light  is  come  into 
the  world,  and  men  loved  darkness  rather  than  light  be- 
cause their  deeds  were  evil. 

20  For  'every  one  that  doeth  evil  hateth  the  light,  neither 
Cometh  to  the  light,  lest  his  deeds  should  be  ||  reproved. 

21  But  he  that  doeth  truth,  cometh  to  the  light,  that  his 
deeds  may  be  made  manifest,  that  they  are  wrought  in  God. 

22  ^After  these  things  came  Jesus  and  his  disciples  into  the 
land  of  Ju-de'a ;  and  there  he  tarried  with  them,  'and  baptized. 

23  ^[And  John  also  was  baptizing  in  E'non,  near  to  "Sa'lim, 
because  there  was  much  water  there :  ''and  they  came,  and 
were  baptized. 

24  For  "John  was  not  yet  cast  into  prison. 

25  ^Then  there  arose  a  question  between  some  of  John's 
disciples  and  the  Jews  about  purifying. 

26  And  they  came  unto  John,  and  said  unto  him.  Rabbi, 
he  that  was  with  thee  beyond  Jor'dan,  'to  whom  thou  barest 
witness,  behold,  the  same  baptizeth,  and  all  men  come  to  him. 

27  John  answered  and  said,  "A  man  can  ||  receive  nothing, 
except  it  be  given  him  from  heaven. 

28  Ye  yourselves  bear  me  witness,  that  I  said,  'I  am  not 
the  Christ,  but  'that  I  am  sent  before  him. 

29  ''He  that  hath  the  bride  is  the  bridegroom ;  but  'the 
friend  of  the  bridegroom,  which  standeth  and  heareth  him, 
rejoiceth  greatly  because  of  the  bridegroom's  voice:  this 
my  joy  therefore  is  fulfilled. 

30  He  must  increase,  but  I  must  decrease. 

31  ''^He  that  cometh  from  above  "is  above  all :  'he  that  is 
of  the  earth  is  earthly,  and  speaketh  of  the  earth :  'he  that 
cometh  from  heaven  is  above  all. 

32  And  *what  he  hath  seen  and  heard,  that  he  testifieth ; 
and  no  man  receiveth  his  testimony. 

33  He  that  hath  received  his  testimony  'hath  set  to  his 
seal  that  God  is  true. 

34  ""For  he  whom  God  hath  sent  speaketh  the  words  of 
God :  for  God  giveth  not  the  Spirit  "by  measure  unto  him. 

35  "The  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  hath  given  all  things 
into  his  band. 

36  "He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  hath  everlasting  life : 
and  he  that  believeth  not  the  Son  shall  not  "ee  life;  but 
the  wrath  of  God  abideth  on  him.

WHEN  therefore  theLordknewhowthePhar'i-seeshad  heard 
that  Jesus  made  and  "baptized  more  disciples  than  John, 

2  (Though  Jesus  himself  baptized  not,  but  his  disciples,) 

3  He  left  Ju-de'a,  and  departed  again  into  Gal'i-lee. 

4  And  he  must  needs  go  through  Sa-ma'ri-a. 

5  Then  cometh  he  toacity  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  which  iscalledSy 'char, 
near  to  the  parcel  of  ground''that  Ja'cob  gave  to  his  son  Jo'seph. 

6  Now  Jacob's  well  was  there.  Jesus  therefore,  being  wearied 


11  Verily,  verily,  I  say  umo  thee.  We  speak  that  we  do 
know,  and  bear  witness  of  that  we  have  seen ;  and  ye 

12  receive  notour  witness.  If  I  told  you  earthly  things, 
and  ye  believe  not,  how  shall  ye  believe,  if  I  tell  you 

13 heavenly  things?  And  no  man  hath  ascended  into 
heaven,  but  he  that   descended  out  of  heaven,  even 

14  the  Son  of  man,  'which  is  in  heaven.  And  as  Mo'ses 
lifted  up  the  serpent  in  the  wilderness,  even  so  must 

15  the  Son  of  man  be  lifted  up :  that  whosoever  ^be 
lieveth  may  in  him  have  eternal  life. 

16  For  God  so  loved  the  world,  that  he  gave  his 
only  begotten  Son,  that  whosoever  believeih  on  him 

17  should  not  perish,  but  have  eternal  life.  For  God 
sent  not  the  Son  into  the  world  to  judge  the  world ; 
but  that  the  world  should  be  saved  through  him. 

18  He  that  believeth  on  him  is  not  judged :  he  that  be- 
lieveth not  hath  been  judged  already,  because  he 
hath  not  believed  on  the  name  of  the  only  begotten 

19  Son  of  God.  And  this  is  the  judgment  that  the 
light  is  come  into  the  world,  and  men  loved  the 
darkness  rather  than  the  light ;  for  their  works  were 

20  evil.  For  every  one  that  Moeth  ill  hateth  the  light, 
and  cometh    not  to  the  light,  lest  his  works  should 

21  be  ^reproved.  But  he  that  doeth  the  truth  cometh 
to  the  light,  that  his  works  may  be  made  manifest, 
*that  they  have  been  wrought  in  God. 

22  After  these  things  came  Jesus  and  his  disciples 
into  the  land  of  Ju-dse'a ;  and  there  he  tarried  with 

23  them,  and  baptized.  And  John  also  was  baptizing 
in  ^'non  near  to  Sa'lim,  because  there  ^vvas  much 

24  water  there :  and  they  came,  and  were  baptized.    For 

25  John  was  not  yet  cast  into  prison.  There  arose 
therefore  a  questioning  on  the  part  of  John's  disciples 

26  with  a  Jew  about  purifying.  And  they  came  unto 
John,  and  said  to  him,  Rabbi,  he  that  was  with  thee 
beyond  Jor'dan,  to  whom  thou  hast  borne  witness, 
behold,  the  same  baptizeth,  and  all  men   come  to 

27  him.  John  answered  and  said,  A  man  can  receive 
nothing,  except  it  have  been  given  him  from  heaven. 

28  Ye  yourselves  bear  me  witness,  that  I  said,  I  am  not 

29  the  Christ,  but,  that  I  am  sent  before  him.  He  that 
hath  the  bride  is  the  bridegroom :  but  the  friend  of 
the  bridegroom,  which  standeth  and  heareth  him, 
rejoiceth  grea'ly  because  of  the  bridegroom's  voice : 

30  this  my  joy  therefore  is  fulfilled.  He  must  increase, 
but  I  must  decrease. 

31  He  that  cometh  from  above  is  above  all :  he  that 
is  of  the  earth  is  of  the  earth,  and  of  the  earth  he 
speaketh :  'he  that  cometh  from  heaven  is  above  all. 

32  What  he  hath  seen  and  heard,  of  that  he  heareth 
33 witness;   and  no   man    receiveth    his    witness.     He 

that  hath  received  his  witness  hath  set  his  seal  to 

34  this  that  God  is  true.  For  he  whom  God  hath  sent 
speaketh  the  words  of  God:  for  he  giveth  not  the 

35  Spirit  by  measure.     The  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and 

36  hath  given  all  things  into  his  hand.  He  that  be- 
lieveth on  the  Son  hath  eternal  life ;  but  he  that 
*obeyeth  not  the  Son  shall  not  see  life,  but  the  wrath 
of  God  abideth  on  him.

with  his  journey,  sat  thus  on  the  well :  and  it  was  about  the 
sixth  hoar. 

7  There  cometh  a  woman  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  to  draw  water : 
Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Give  me  to  drink. 

8  (For  his  disciples  were  gone  away  unto  thecity  to  buy  meat.) 

9  Then  saith  the  woman  of  Sa-nia'ri-a  unto  him,  How  is  it  that 
thou,  being  a  Jew,  askest  drink  of  me,  which  am  a  woman  of 
Sa-ma'ri-a?  for  "the  Jews  have  no  dealings  with  the  Sa-mar'i-tans. 

10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her.  If  thou  knewest  the 
gift  of  God,  and  who  it  is  that  saith  to  thee.  Give  me  to 
drink ;  thou  wouldest  have  asked  of  him,  and  he  would 
have  given  thee  ''living  water. 

11  The  woman  saith  unto  him.  Sir,  thou  hast  nothing  to 
draw  with,  and  the  well  is  deep :  from  whence  then  hast 
thou  that  living  water? 

12  Art  thou  greaterthan  our  father  Ja'cob,  which  gave  usthe 
well,andhimselfdrankthereof,and  his  children,  and  hiscattle? 

13  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her,  Whosoever  drinketh 
of  this  water,  shall  thirst  again : 

14  But 'whosoever  driuketh  of  the  water  that  I  shallgivehim 
shall  never  thirst;  but  the  water  that  I  shall  give  him-'shall 
be  in  him  a  well  of  water  springing  up  into  everlasting  life. 

15  "The  woman  saith  unto  him.  Sir,  give  me  this  water, 
that  I  thirst  not,  neither  come  hither  to  draw. 

1 6  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Go,  call  thy  husband,  and  come  hither. 

17  The  woman  answered  and  said,  I  have  no  husband. 
Jesus  said  unto  her.  Thou  hast  well  said,  I  have  no  husband  : 

18  For  thou  hast  had  five  husbands;  and  he  whom  thou 
now  hast  is  not  thy  husband :  in  that  saldst  thou  truly. 

19  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  Sir,  ''I  perceive  that  thou 
art  a  prophet. 

20  Our  fathers  worshiped  in  'this  mountain ;  and  ye  say, 
that  in  *Je-ru'sa-lera  is  the  place  where  men  ought  to  worship. 

21  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Woman,  believe  me,  the  hour 
cometh,  'when  ye  shall  neither  in  this  mountain,  nor  yet  at 
Je-ru'sa-Iem,  worship  the  Father. 

22  Ye  worship  ™ye  know  not  what:  we  know  what  we 
worship ;  for  "salvation  is  of  the  Jews. 

23  But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now  is,  when  the  true  wor- 
shippers shall  worship  the  Father  in  "spirit  ""and  in  truth  : 
for  the  Father  seeketh  such  to  worship  him. 

24  'God  is  a  Spirit:  and  they  that  worship  him  must 
worship  him  in  spirit  and  in  truth. 

25  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  I  know  that  Mes-si'as  cometh, 
which  iscalled  Christ:  whenhe  is  come,''he  will  tell  us  all  things. 

26  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  'I  that  speak  unto  thee  am  he. 

27  ^And  upon  this  came  his  disciples,  and  marvelled 
that  he  talked  with  the  woman :  yet  no  man  said,  What 
seekest  thou?  or.  Why  talkest  thou  with  her? 

28  The  woman  then  left  her  waterpot,  and  went  her  way 
into  the  city,  and  saith  to  the  men, 

29  Come,  see  a  man,  'which  told  me  all  things  that  ever  I 
did :  is  not  this  the  Christ  ? 

30  Then  they  went  out  of  the  city,  and  came  unto  him. 

31  ^lu  the  mean  while  his  disciples  prayed  him,  saying. 
Master,  eat. 

32  But  he  said  unto  them,  Ihavemeatto  eat  that  ye  know  notof. 

33  Therefore  said  the  disciples  one  to  another.  Hath  any 
man  brought  him  aught  to  eat? 

34  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "My  meat  is  to  do  the  will  of 
him  that  sent  me,  and  to  finish  his  work. 

35  Say  not  ye,  There  are  yet  four  months,  and  then  cometh 
harvest?  behold,  I  say  unto  you.  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  look 
on  the  fields;  ""for  they  are  white  already  to  harvest. 

36  "And  lie  that  reapeth  receiveth  wages,  and  gathereth 
fruit  unto  life  eternal :  tliat  both  he  that  soweth  and  he  that 
reapeth  may  rejoice  together. 

37  And  herein  is  that  saying  true,  One  soweth,  and  another 
reapeth. 


with  his  journey,  sat  Hhus  by  the  *well.     It  was 

7  about  the  sixth  hour.  There  cometh  a  woman  of 
Sa-ma'ri-a  to  draw  water :  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Give 

8  me  to  drink.     For  his  disciples  were  gone  away  into 

9  the  city  to  buy  food.  The  Sa-mar'i-tan  woman  there- 
fore saith  unto  him.  How  is  it  that  thou,  being  a  Jew, 
askest  drink  of  me,  which  am  a  Sa-mar'i-tan  womau  ? 

10  ("For  Jewshave  no  dealings  with  Sa-mar'i-tans.)  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  her.  If  thou  knewest  the  gift 
of  God,  and  who  it  is  that  saith  to  thee.  Give  me  to 
drink :  thou  wouldest  have  asked  of  him,  and    he 

11  would  have  given  thee  living  water.  The  woman 
saith  unto  him,  *Sir,  thou  hast  nothing  to  draw  with, 
and  the  well  is  deep:  from  whence  then  hast  thou 

12 that  living  water?  Art  thou  greater  than  our  lather 
Ja'cob,  which  gave  us  the  well,  and  drank  thereof 

IShimself,  and  his  sons,  and  hiscattle?  Jesus  answered 
and  said  unto  her.  Every  one  that  drinketh  of  this 

14 water  shall  thirst  again:  but  whosoever  drinketh  of 
the  water  that  I  shall  give  him  shall  never  thirst 
but  the  water  that  I  shall  give  him  shall  become  in 
him  a  well  of  water  springing  up  unto  eternal  life. 

15  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  ^Sir,  give  me  this 
water,  that  I  thirst   not,  neither  come  all  the  way 

16  hither  to  draw.     Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Go,  call  thy 
17hui3band,  and  come  hither.     The  woman   answered 

and  said  unto  him,  I  have  no  husband.  Jesus  saith  unto 
18  her, Thousaidstwelljlhave no  husband:  for  thou  hast 

had  five  husbands ;  and  he  whom  thou  now  hast  is 
19 not   thy   husband:  this   hast  thou  said  truly.     The 

woman  saith  unto  him,  ^Slr,  I  perceive  that  thou  art 

20  a  prophet.  Our  fathers  worshipped  in  this  mount- 
ain ;  and  ye  say,  that  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  is  the  place  where 

21  men  ought  to  worship. ,  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Wom- 
an, believe  me,  the  hour  cometh,  when  neither  in 
this  mountain,  nor  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  shall  ye  worship 

22 the  Father.  Ye  worship  that  which  ye  know  not: 
we  worship   that  which  we  know:  for   salvation  is 

23  from  the  Jews.  But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now  is, 
when  the  true  worshippers  shall  worship  the  Father 
in  spirit  and  truth :  'for  such  doth  the  Father  seek 

24  to  be  his  worshippers.  'God  is  a  Spirit :  and  they 
that  worship  him  must  worship  in  spirit  and  truth. 

25  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  I  know  that  Mes-si'ah 
cometh  (which  is  called  Christ) :  when  he  is  come, 

26  he  will  declare  unto  us  all  things.  Jesus  saith  unto 
her,  I  that  speak  unto  thee  am  he. 

27  And  upon  this  came  his  disciples;  and  they  mar- 
velled that  he  was  speaking  with  a  woman ;  yet  no 
man  said,   What   seekest   thou?   or.  Why  speakest 

28 thou  with  her?  So  the  woman  left  her  waterpot, 
and  went  away  into  the  city,  and  saith  to  the  men, 

29  Come,  see  a  man,   which   told   me  all  things   that 

30  eva-  I  did :    can  this  be   the    Christ  ?     They   went 

31  out  of  the  city,  and  were  coming  to  him.  In  the 
mean  while  the  disciples  prayed  him,  saying,  Rabbi, 

32  eat.     But  he  said    unto    them,  I   have  meat   to  eat 
33that  ye  know  not.     The  disciples  therefore  said  one 

to  another.  Hath  any  man  brought  him  aught 
34  to  eat  ?  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  My  meat  is  to 
do  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me,  and  to  accora- 
35plish  his  work.  Say  not  ye,  There  are  yet  four 
months,  and  then  cometh  the  harvest?  behold,  I 
say  unto  you.  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  look  on  the 
fields,  that  they    are  'white   already   unto   harvest. 

36  He  that  reapeth  receiveth  wages,  and  gathereth 
fruit  unto  life  eternal ;  that  he  that  soweth  and  he 

37  that  reapeth  may  rejoice  together.  For  herein  is 
the  saying  true.  One  soweth,  and  another  reapeth.

38  I  sent  you  to  reap  that  whereon  ye  bestowed  no  labour: 
other  men  laboured,  and  ye  are  entered  into  their  labours. 

39  ^And  many  of  the  Sa-mar'i-tans  of  that  city  believed  on 
him,  'for  the  saying  of  the  woman,  which  testified.  He  told 
me  all  that  ever  I  did. 

40  So  when  the  Sa-mar'i-tans  were  come  unto  him,  they  be- 
sought him  that  he  would  tarry  with  them:  and  he  abode 
there  two  days. 

41  And  many  more  believed  because  of  his  own  word ; 

42  And  said  unto  the  woman.  Now  we  believe,  not  because 
of  thy  saying :  for  "we  have  heard  him  ourselves,  and  know 
that  this  is  indeed  the  Christ,  the  Saviour  of  the  world. 

43  ^Now  after  two  days  he  departed  thence,  and  went  into 
Gal'i-lee. 

44  For  •* Jesus  himself  testified,  that  a  prophet  hath  no 
honour  in  his  own  country. 

45  Then  when  he  was  come  into  Gal'i-lee,  the  Gal-i-le'ans  re- 
ceived him,  "having  seen  all  the  things  that  he  did  at  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem  at  the  feast:  ''for  they  also  went  unto  the  feast. 

46  So  Jesus  came  again  into  Ca'na  of  Gal'i-lee,  'where  he 
made  the  water  wine.  And  there  was  a  certain  ||  nobleman, 
whose  son  was  sick  at  Ca-per'na-um. 

47  When  he  heard  that  Jesus  was  come  out  of  Ju-de'a  intc 
Gal'i-lee,  he  went  unto  him,  and  besought  him  that  he  would 
come  down,  and  heal  his  son:  for  he  was  at  the  point  of 
death. 

48  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  -Except  ye  see  signs  and 
wonders,  ye  will  not  believe. 

49  The  nobleman  saith  unto  him.  Sir,  come  down  ere  my 
child  die. 

50  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Go  thy  way ;  thy  son  liveth.  And 
the  man  believed  the  word  that  Jesus  had  spoken  unto  him, 
and  he  went  his  way. 

51  And  as  he  was  now  going  down,  his  servants  met  him, 
and  told  him,  saying,  Thy  son  liveth. 

52  Then  inquired  he  of  them  the  hour  when  he  began  to 
amend.  And  they  said  unto  him,  Yesterday  at  the  seventh 
hour  the  fever  left  him. 

.  53  So  the  father  knew  that  it  was  at  the  same  hour,  in  the 
which  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thy  sou  liveth :  and  himself  be- 
lieved, and  his  whole  house. 

54  This  is  again  the  second  miracle  that  Jesus  did,   when 
he  was  come  out  of  Ju-de'a  into  Gal'i-lee. 
CHAPTER  V 

Tftf  impotent  man  heated. 

AFTER  "this  there  was  a  feast  of  the  Jews;  and  Jesus 
went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  Now  there  is  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  *by  the  sheep  \^marhet,  a 
pool,  which  is  called  in  the  He'brew  tongue,  Be-thes'da,  hav- 
ing five  porches. 

3  In  these  lay  a  great  multitude  of  impotent  folk,  of  blind, 
halt,  withered,  waiting  for  the  moving  of  the  water. 

4  For  an  angel  went  down  at  a  certain  season  into  the 
pool,  and  troubled  the  water:  whosoever  then  first  after  the 
troubling  of  the  water  stepped  in  was  made  whole  of  what- 
soever disease  he  had. 

5  And  a  certain  man  was  there,  which  had  an  infirmity 
thirty  and  eight  years. 

6  When  Jesus  saw  him  lie,  and  knew  that  he  had  been 
now  a  long  time  in  that  case,  he  saith  unto  him,  Wilt  thou 
be  made  whole? 

7  The  impotent  man  answered  him,  Sir,  I  have  no  man, 
when  the  water  is  troubled,  to  put  me  into  the  pool :  but 
while  I  am  coming,  another  steppeth  down  before  me. 

8  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "Rise,  take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

9  And  immediately  the  man  was  made  whole,  and  took  up 
his  bed,  and  walked :  and  ''on  the  same  day  was  the  sabbath. 

10  ^The  Jews  therefore  said  unto  him  that  was  cured,  It 
is  the  sabbath  day :  'it  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  carry  thy  bed. 


38 1  sent  you  to  reap  that  whereon  ye  have  not  la- 
boured :  others  have  laboured,  and  ye  are  entered 
into  their  labour. 

39  And  from  that  city  many  of  the  Sa-mar'i-tans  be- 
lieved on  him  because  of  the  word  of  the  woman, 
who  testified,  He  told  me  all  things  that  ever  I  did. 

40  So  when  the  Sa-mar'i-tans  came  unto  him,  they  be- 
sought him  to  abide  with  them :  and  he  abode  there 

41  two  days.     And  many  more  believed  because  of  his 

42  word ;  and  they  said  to  the  woman,  Now  we  believe, 
not  because  of  thy  speaking :  for  we  have  heard  for 
ourselves,  and  know  that  this  is  indeed  the  Saviour 
of  the  world. 

43  And  after  the  two  days  he  went  forth  from  thence 

44  into   Gal'i-lee.     For   Jesus  himself  testified,  that  a 

45  prophet  hath  no  houour  in  his  own  country.  So 
when  he  came  into  Gal'i-lee,  the  Gal-i-lse'ans  received 
him,  having  seen  all  the  things  that  he  did  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem at  the  feast :  for  they  also  went  unto  the  feast. 

46  He  came  therefore  again  unto  Ca'na  of  Gal'i-lee, 
where  he  made  the  water  wine.  And  there  was  a 
certain  'nobleman,  whose  son  was  sick  at  Ca-per'- 

47  na-um.  When  he  heard  that  Jesus  was  come  out  of 
Ju-dse'a  into  Gal'i-lee,  he  went  unto  him,  and  besought 
him  that  he  would  come  down,  and  heal    his   son ; 

48  for  he  was  at  the  point  of  death.  Jesus  therefore 
said  unto  him.  Except  ye  see  signs  and  wonders,  ye 

49  will  in  no  wise  believe.     The  'nobleman  saith  unto 

50  him,  ^Sir,  come  down  ere  my  child  die.  Jesus  .«aith 
unto  him.  Go  thy  way;  thy  son  liveth.  The  man 
believed  the  word  that  Jesus  spake  unto  him,  and  he 

51  went  his  way.  And  as  he  was  now  going  down, 
his  ^servants  met  him,  saying,    that   his  son  lived. 

52  So  he  inquired  of  then  the  hour  when  he  began  to 
amend.     They   said   therefore  unto  him.  Yesterday 

53  at  the  seventh  hour  the  fever  left  him.  So  the 
father  knew  that  it  was  at  that  hour  in  which  Jesus 
said  unto  him.  Thy  son  liveth:  and  himself  believed, 

54  and  his  whole  house.  This  is  again  the  second 
sign  that  Jesus  did,  having  come  out  of  Ju-dse'a  into 
Gal'i-lee. 

0  Alter  these  things  there  was  *&  feast  of  the  Jews ; 
and  Jesus  went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  Now  there  is  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  by  the  sheep  gate  a 
pool,  which  is  called  in  He'brew  'Be-thes'da,  having 

3  five  porches.     In  these  lay  a  multitude  of  them  that 

5  were  sick,  blind,  halt,  withered^.  And  a  certain 
man  was  there,  which  had  been  thirty  and    eight 

6  years  in  his  infirmity.  When  Jesus  saw  him  lying. 
and  knew  that  he  had  been  now  a  long  time  in  thaii 
case,  he  saith  unto  him,  Wouldest   thou  be  made 

7 whole?  The  sick  man  answered  him,  'Sir,  I  have 
no  )i?an,  when  the  water  is  troubled,  to  put  me  into 
the  |Ajol :  but  while  I  am  coming,  another  steppeth 

8  down    before    me.     Jesus  saith   unto   him.    Arise, 

9  take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk.  And  straightway  the 
man  was  made  whole,  and  took  up  his  bed  and 
walked. 

10  Now  it  was  the  sabbath  on  that  day.  So  the 
Jews  said  unto  him  that  was  cured.  It  is  the  sabbath, 
and  it  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  take   up  thy  bed.

11  He  answered  them,  He  that  made  me  whole,  the  same 
said  unto  me,  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

12  Then  asked  they  him,  What  man  is  that  which  said 
unto  thee.  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk  ? 

13  And  he  that  was  healed  wist  not  who  it  was :  for  Jesus 
had  conveyed  himself  away,  ||  a  multitude  being  in  that  place. 

14  Afterward  Jesus  findeth  him  in  the  temple,  and  said 
unto  him,  Behold,  thou  art  made  whole :  -^sin  no  more,  lest 
a  worse  thing  come  unto  thee. 

15  The  man  departed,  and  told  the  Jews  that  it  was  Jesus 
which  had  made  him  whole. 

16  And  therefore  did  the  Jews  persecute  Jesus,  and  sought  to 
slay  him,  because  he  had  done  these  things  on  the  sabbath  day. 

17  ^But  Jesus  answered  them, 'My  Father  worketh  hith- 
erto, and  I  work. 

18  Therefore  the  Jews  'sought  the  more  to  kill  him,  be- 
cause he  not  only  had  broken  the  sabbath,  but  said  also  that 
God  was  his  Father,  'making  himself  equal  with  God. 

19  Then  answered  Jesus  and  said  unto  them.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  'The  Son  can  do  nothing  of  himself, 
but  what  he  seeth  the  Father  do ;  for  what  things  soever 
he  doeth,  these  also  doeth  the  Son  likewise. 

20  For  'the  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  sheweth  him  all 
things  that  himself  doeth :  and  he  will  shew  him  greater 
works  than  these,  that  ye  may  marvel. 

21  For  as  the  Father  raiseth  up  the  dead,  and  quickeneth 
them;  "'even  so  the  Son  quickeneth  whom  he  will. 

22  For  the  Father  judgeth  no  man,  but  "hath  committed 
all  judgment  unto  the  Son: 

23  That  all  men  should  honour  the  Son,  even  as  they 
honour  the  Father.  °He  that  honoureth  not  the  Son 
honoureth  not  the  Father  which  hath  sent  him. 

24  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  ''He  that  heareth  my 
word,  and  believeth  on  him  that  sent  me,  hath  everlasting 
life,  and  shall  not  come  into  condemnation ;  'but  is  passed 
from  death  unto  life. 

25  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  The  hour  is  coming,  and 
now  is,  when  ""the  dead  shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of 
God :  and  they  that  hear  shall  live. 

26  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in  himself,  so  hath  he  given 
to  the  Son  to  have  life  in  himself; 

27  And  'hath  given"  him  authority  to  execute  judgment 
also,  'because  he  is  the  Son  of  man. 

28  Marvel  not  at  this :  for  the  hour  is  coming,  in  the  which 
all  that  are  in  the  graves  shall  hear  his  voice, 

29  "And  shall  come  forth;  "'they  that  have  done  good,  unto 
the  resurrection  of  life ;  and  they  that  have  done  evil,  unto 
the  resurrection  of  damnation. 

30  "I  can  of  mine  own  self  do  nothing :  as  I  hear,  I  judge : 
and  my  judgment  is  ju.st;  because  'I  seek  not  mine  own 
will,  but  the  will  of  the  Father  which  hath  sent  me. 

31  "If  I  bear  witness  of  myself,  my  witness  is  not  true. 

32  •U'There  is  another  that  beareth  witness  of  me,  and  I 
know  that  the  witness  which  he  witnesseth  of  me  is  true. 

33  Ye  sent  unto  John,  ''and  he  bare  witness  unto  the  truth. 

34  But  I  receive  not  testimony  from  man :  but  these 
things  I  say,  that  ye  might  be  saved. 

35  He  was  a  burning  and  ^a.  shining  light:  and  'ye  were 
willing  for  a  season  to  rejoice  in  his  light. 

36  ^But  -'^I  have  greater  witness  that  that  of  John  :  for  "the 
works  which  the  Father  hath  given  me  tofinish,thesame  works 
that  I  do,  bear  witness  of  me,  that  the  Father  hath  sent  me. 

37  And  the  Father  himself  which  hath  sent  me,  'hath 
borne  witness  of  me.  Ye  have  neither  heard  his  voice  at 
any  time,  'nor  seen  his  shape. 

38  And  ye  have  not  his  word  abiding  in  you ;  for  whom 
he  hath  sent,  him  ye  believe  not. 

39  ^'Search  the  Scriptures;  for  in  them  ye  think  ye  have 
eternal  life :  and  'they  are  they  which  testify  of  me. 


11  But  he  answered  them,  He  that  made  me  whole, 
the  same  said  unto  me,  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

12  They    asked   him.  Who  is  the   man  that  said  unto 
13 thee.  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk?     But  he  that  was 

healed  wist  not  who  it  was:- for  Jesus  had  conveyed 

14  himself  away,  a  multitude  being  in  the  place.  After- 
ward Jesus  findeth  him  in  the  temple,  and  said  unto 
him.   Behold,   thou  art  made  whole :    sin  no  more, 

15  lest  a  worse  thing  befall  thee.  The  man  went  away, 
and  told  the  Jews  that  it  was  Jesus  which  had  made 

16  him  whole.  And  for  this  cause  did  the  Jews  persecute 
Jesus,  because  he  did  these   things  on  the  sabbath. 

17  But  Jesus  answered  them.  My  Father  worketh  even 

18  until  now,  and  I  work.  For  this  cause  therefore 
the  Jews  sought  the  more  to  kill, him,  because  he 
not  only  brake  the  sabbath,  but  also  called  God  his 
own  Father,  making  himself  equal  with  God. 

19  Jesus  therefore  answered  and  said  unto  them. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  The  Son  can  do 

nothing  of  himself  but  what   he  seeth  the  Father 
doing :    for  what  things  soever  he  doeth,  these  the 

20  Son  also  doeth  in  like  manner.  For  the  Father 
loveth  the  Son,  and  sheweth  him  all  things  that 
himself  doeth:  and  greater  works  than   these  will 

21  he  shew  him,  that  ye  may  marvel.  For  as  .the 
Fatlier  raiseth  the  dead  and  quickeneth  them,  even 

22  so  the  Son  also  quickeneth  whom  he  will.  For 
neither  doth  the  Father  judge  any  man,  but  he  hath 

23 given  all  judgement  unto  the  Son;  that  all  may 
honour  the  Son,  even  as  they  honour  the  Father. 
He  that  honoureth  not  the  Son  honoureth  not  the 

24  Father  wtich  sent  him.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you.  He  that  heareth  my  word,  and  believeth  him 
that  sent  me,  hath  eternal  life,  and  cometh  not  into 
judgement,  but  hath   passed  out  of  death   into  life 

25  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  The  hoi/'*  cometh, 
and  now  is,  when  the  dead  shall  hear  the  voice 
of  the   Son    of   God;    and    they    that    bear    shall 

26  live.  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in  himself,  even 
so  gave  he  to  the  Son  also  to  have  life  in  himself: 

27  and    he    gave    him    authority    to    execute    judge- 
28ment,  because  he  is  'the  Son  of  man.     Marvel  not 

at  this:  for  the  hour  cometh,  in  which  all  that  are 

29  in  the  tombs  shall  hear   his  voice,  and   s^all  come 
forth;  they  that  have  done  good,  unto  the  resurrec 
tion  of  life ;  and  they  that  have  Mone  ill,  unto  the 
resurrection  of  judgement. 

30  I  can  of  myself  do  nothing:  as  I  hear,  I  judge : 
and  my  judgement  is  righteous;  because  1  seek  not 

31  mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  him  that  seni  me.     If 
32 1  bear  witness  of  myself,  my  witness  is  not  true.     It 

is  another  that  beareth  witness  of  me ;  and  t  know 
that  the  witness  which  he  witnesseth  of  me  is  true. 

33  Ye  have  sent  unto  John,  and  he  hath  borne  witness 

34  unto  the  truth.  But  the  witness  which  I  recpive  is 
not  from  man:  howbeit  I  say  these  things,  that  ye 

35  may  be  saved.  He  was  the  lamp  that  burneth  and 
shineth :  and  ye  were  willing  to  rejoice  for  a  season 

36  in  his  light.  But  the  witness  which  I  have  is  greater 
than  that  of  John :  for  the  works  which  the  Father 
hath  given  me  to  accomplish,  the  very  works  that 
I   do,    bear   witness    of   me    that    the  Father  hath 

37  sent  me.  And  the  Father  which  sent  me,  he  hath 
borne   witness  of  me.-    Ye   have   neither  heard  his 

38  voice  at  any  time,  nor  seen  his  form.  And  ye  have 
not  his   word  abiding  in    you;  for  whom  he   sent, 

39  him  ye  believe  not.  'Ye  search  the  scriptures, 
because  ye  think  that  in  them  ye  have  eternal 
life,  and  these  are  they  which  bear  witness  of  me ;

CHAPTER    VI. 

F'tvg  thousand  mtracutously  fed. 

AFTER  "^hese  things  Jesus  went  over  the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee, 
which  is  the,  sea  of  Ti-be'ri-as. 

2  And  a  great  multitude  followed  him,  because  they  saw 
his  miracles  which  he  did  on  them  that  were  diseased. 

3  And  Jesus  went  up  into  a  mountain,  and  there  he  sat 
with  his  disciples. 

4  'And  the  passover,  a  feast  of  the  Jews,  was  nigh. 

5  ^°When  Jesus  then  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  a  great 
company  come  unto  him,  he  saith  unto  Phil'ip,  Whence  shall 
we  buy  bread,  that  these  may  eat  ? 

6  And  this  he  said  to  prove  him:  for  he  himself  knew 
what  he  would  do. 

7  Phil'ip  answered  him,''Two  hundred  pennyworth  of  bread 
is  not  sufficient  for  them,  that  every  one  of  them  may  take 
a  little. 

8  One  of  his  disciples,  An'drew,  Si'mon  Pe'ter's  brother, 
saith  unto  him, 

9  There  is  a  lad  here,  which  hath  five  barley  loaves,  and 
two  small  fishes :  'but  what  are  they  among  so  many  ? 

10  And  Jesus  said.  Make  the  men  sit  down.  Now  there 
was  much  grass  in  the  place.  So  the  men  sat  down,  in 
number  about  five  thousand. 

11  And  Jesus  took  the  loaves;  and  when  hehad  given  thanks, 
he  distributed  to  the  disciples,  and  the  disciples  to  them  that 
were  set  down;and  likewiseofthefishesasmuchas  they  would. 

12  When  they  were  filled,  he  said  unto  his  disciples.  Gather 
up  the  fragments  that  remain,  that  nothing  be  lost. 

13  Therefore  they  gathered  them  together,  and  filled  twelve 
baskets  with  the  fragments  of  the  five  barley  loaves,  which 
remained  over  and  above  unto  them  that  had  eaten. 

14  Then  those  men,  when  they  had  seen  the  miracle  that 
Jesus  did,  said.  This  is  of  a  truth  ■'that  Prophet  that  should 
come  into  the  world. 

15  ^When  Jesus  therefore  perceived  that  they  would 
come  and  take  him  by  force,  to  make  him  a  king,  he  de- 
parted again  into  a  mountain  himself  alone. 

16  "And  when  even  was  now  come,  his  disciples  went 
down  unto  the  sea, 

17  And  entered  into  a  ship,  and  went  over  the  sea  toward 
Ca-per'na-um.  And  it  was  now  dark,  and  Jesus  was  not 
come  to  them. 

18  And  the  sea  arose  by  reason  of  a  great  wind  that  blew. 

19  So  when  they  had  rowed  about  five  and  twenty  or 
thirty  furlongs,  they  see  Jesus  walking  on  the  sea,  and 
drawing  nigh  unto  the  ship;  and  they  were  afraid. 

20  But  he  saith  unto  them.  It  is  I ;  be  not  afraid. 

21  Then  they  willingly  received  him  into  the  ship :  and 
immediately  the  ship  was  at  *the  land  whither  they  went. 

22  ^[The  day  following,  when  the  people,  which  stood  on 
the  other  side  of  the  sea,  saw  that  there  was  none  other  boat 
there,  save  that  one  whereinto  his  disciples  were  entered, 
and  that  Jesus  went  not  with  his  disciples  into  the  boat,  but 
<Aa<  his  disciples  were  gone  away  alone ; 

23  Howbeit    there    came    other    boats    from    Ti-be'ri-as 


40  and  ye  will  not  come  to  me,  that  ye  may  have  life. 
42 1  receive  not  glory  from  men.    But  I  know  you,  that 

43  ye  have  not  the  love  of  God  in  yourselves.  I  am 
come  in  my  Father's  name,  and  ye  receive  me  not : 
if  another  shall  come  in  his  own  name,  him  ye  will 

44  receive.  How  can  ye  believe,  which  receive  glory 
one  of  another,  and  the  glory  that  cometh  from  'the 

45 only  God  ye  seek  not?  Think  not  that  I  will  accuse 
you  to  the  Father:  there  is  one  that  accuseth  you, 

46  even  Mo'ses,  on  whom  ye  have  set  your  hope.  For 
if  ye  believed  Mo'ses,  ye  would  believe  me ;  for  he 

47  wrote  of  me.  But  if  ye  believe  not  his  writings,  how 
shall  ye  believe  my  words? 

v      After  these  things  Jesus  went  away  to  the  other 
side  of  the  sea  of  Gal'i-lee,  which  is  thesea  of  Ti-be'ri-as. 

2  And  a  great  multitude  followed  him,  because  they 
beheld  the  signs  which  he  did  on  them  that  were  sick. 

3  And  Jesus  went  up  into  the  mountain,  and  there  he 

4  sat  with  his  disciples.     Now  the  passover,  the  feast 
6  of  the  Jews,  was  at  hand.     Jesus  therefore  lifting  up 

his  eyes,  and  seeing  that  a  great  multitude  cometh 
unto  him,  saith  unto  Phil'ip,  Whence  are  we  to  buy 

6  %read,  that  these  may  eat  ?     And  this  he  said  to 
prove  him :  for  he  himself  knew  what  he  would  do. 

7  Phil'ip  answered  him,  Two  hundred  'pennyworth  of 
^bread  is  not  sufficient  for  them,  that  every  one  may 

8  take  a  little.     One  of  his  disciples,  An'drew,  Si'mon 

9  Pe'ter's  brother,  saith  unto  him.  There  is  a  lad  here, 
which  hath  five  barley  loaves,  and  two  fishes :    but 

10 what  are  these  among  so  many?  Jesus  said.  Make 
the  people  sit  down.  Now  there  was  much  grass  in 
the  place.     So  the  men  sat  down,  in  number  about 

11  five  thousand.  Jesus  therefore  took  the  loaves;  and 
having  given  thanks,  he  distributed  to  them  that  were 
set  down  ;  likewise  also  of  the  fishes  as  much  as  they 

12  would.  And  when  they  were  filled,  he  saith  unto 
his  disciples.  Gather  up  the  broken  pieces  which  re- 

13  main  over,  that  nothing  be  lost.  So  they  gathered 
them  up,  and  filled  twelve  baskets  with  broken  pieces 
from  the  five  barley  loaves,  which  remained  over  unto 

14  them  that  had  eaten.  When  therefore  the  people 
saw  the  ^sign  which  he  did,  they  said.  This  is  of  a 
truth  the  prophet  that  cometh  into  the  world. 

15  Jesus  therefore  perceiving  that  they  were  about  to 
come  and  take  him  by  force,  to  make  him  king,  with- 
drew again  into  the  mountain  himself  alone. 

16  And  when  evening  came,  his  disciples  went  down 

17  unto  the  sea;  and  they  entered  into  a  boat, and  were 
going  over  the  sea  unto  Ca-per'na-um.     And  it  was 

18  now  dark,  and  Jesus  had  not  yet  come  to  them.  And 
the  sea  was  rising  by  reason  of  a  great  wind  that 

19  blew.  When  therefore  they  had  rowed  about  five 
and  twenty  or  thirty  furlongs,  they  behold  Jesus 
walking  on  the  sea,  and  drawing  nigh  unto  the  boat: 

20  and  they  were  afraid.    But  he  saith  unto  them,  It  is 
21 1;  be  not  afraid.     They  were  willing  therefore  to 

receive  him  into  the  boat :  and  straightway  the  boat 
was  at  the  land  whither  they  were  going. 

22  On  the  morrow  the  multitude  which  stood  on  the 
other  side  of  the  sea  saw  that  there  was  none  other 
"boat  there,  save  one,  and  that  Jesus  entered  not  with 
his  disciples  into  the  boat,  but  that  his  disciples  went 

23  away  alone  (howbeit  there  came 'boats  from  Ti-be'ri-as

nigh  unto  the  place  where  they  did  eat  bread,  after  that  the 
Lord  had  given  thanks : 

24  When  the  people  therefore  saw  that  Jesus  was  not 
there,  neither  his  disciples,  they  also  took  shipping,  and 
came  to  Ca-per'na-um,  seeking  for  Jesus. 

25  And  when  they  had  found  him  on  the  other  side  of  the 
sea,  they  said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  when  earnest  thou  hither? 

26  Jesus  answered  them  and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you.  Ye  seek  me,  not  because  ye  saw  the  miracles,  but  be- 
cause ye  did  eat  of  the  loaves,  and  were  filled. 

27  II  Labour  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth,  but  'for  that 
meat  which  endureth  unto  everlasting  life,  which  the  Son  of 
man  shall  give  unto  you:  'for  him  hath  God  the  Father  sealed. 

28  Then  said  they  unto  him.  What  shall  we  do  that  we 
might  work  the  works  of  God? 

29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  ''This  is  the  work 
of  God,  that  ye  believe  on  him  whom  he  hath  sent. 

30  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  'What  sign  shewest  thou 
then,  that  we  may  see,  and  believe  thee?  whatdost  thou  work? 

31  "Our  fathers  did  eat  manna  in  the  desert;  as  it  is  written, 
"He  gave  them  bread  from  heaven  to  eat. 

32  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  Moses  gave  you  not  that  bread  from  heaven ;  but  my 
Father  giveth  you  the  true  bread  from  heaven. 

33  For  the  bread  of  God  is  he  which  cometh  down  from 
heaven,  and  giveth  life  unto  the  world. 

34  "Then  said  they  unto  him.  Lord,  evermore  give  us  this 
bread. 

35  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  ''I  am  the  bread  of  life :  'he 
that  cometh  to  me  shall  never  hunger;  and  he  that  believ- 
eth  on  me  shall  never  thirst. 

36  'But  I  said  unto  you,  That  ye  also  have  seen  me,  and 
believe  not. 

37  'All  that  the  Father  giveth  me  shall  come  to  me ;  and 
'him  that  cometh  to  me  I  will  in  no  wise  ca.st  out. 

38  For  I  came  down  from  heaven,  "not  to  do  mine  own 
will,  ''but  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me. 

39  And  this  is  the  Father's  will  which  hath  sent  me,  "that 
of  all  which  he  hath  given  me  I  should  lose  nothing,  but 
should  raise  it  up  again  at  the  last  day. 

40  And  this  is  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me,  that  every 
one  which  seeth  the  Son,  and  believeth  on  him,  may  have 
everlasting  life :  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

41  The  Jews  then  murmured  at  him,  because  he  said,  I  am 
the  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven. 

42  And  they  said,  °Is  not  this  Jesus,  the  son  of  Jo'seph, 
whose  father  and  mother  we  know  ?  how  is  it  then  that  he 
saith,  I  came  down  from  heaven? 

43  Jesus  therefore  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Murmur 
not  among  yourselves. 

44  'No  man  can  come  to  me,  except  the  Father  which  hath 
sent  me  draw  him :  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

45  "It  is  written  in  the  prophets.  And  they  shall  be  all 
taught  of  God.  ''Every  man  therefore  that  hath  heard,  and 
hath  learned  of  the  Father,  cometh  unto  me. 

46  'Not  that  any  man  hath  seen  the  Father,  ■'save  he  which 
is  of  God,  he  hath  seen  the  Father. 

47  Verily,  verily,  I  .say  unto  you,  'He  that  believeth  on 
me  hath  everlasting  life. 

48  ''I  am  that  bread  of  life. 

49  "Yourfathersdid  eat  manna  in  the  wilderness,andare  dead. 

50  *This  is  the  bread  which  cometh  down  from  heaven, 
that  a  man  may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die. 

51  I  am  the  living  bread  'which  came  down  from  heaven : 
if  any  man  eat  of  this  bread,  he  shall  live  forever:  and  "the 
bread  that  I  will  giye  is  my  flesh,  which  I  will  give  for  the 
life  of  the  world. 

52  The  Jews  therefore  "strove  among  themselves,  saying, 
"How  cau  this  man  give  us  his  flesh  to  eat? 


nigh  unto  the  place  where  they  ate  the  bread  after 

24 the   Lord   had  given  thanks):  when  the  multitude 

therefore  saw  that  Jesus  was  not  there,  neither  his 

disciples,  they  themselves  got  into  the  'boats,  and 

25  came  to  Ca-per'na-um,  seeking  Jesus.     And  when 

they  found  him  on  the  other  side  of  the  sea,  they  said 

26 unto  him.  Rabbi,  when  earnest  thou  hither?     Jesus 

answered  them  and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 

you,  Ye  seek  me,  not  because  ye  saw  signs,  but  be- 

27  cause  ye  ate  of  the  loaves,  and  were  filled.  Work 
not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth,  but  for  the  meat 
which  abideth  unto  eternal  life,  which  the  Son  of  man 
shall  give  unto  you :  for  him  the  Father,  even  God, 

28  hath  sealed.  They  said  therefore  unto  him.  What 
must  we  do,  that  we  may  work  the  works  of  God? 

29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them.  This  is  the  work 
of  God,  that  ye  believe  on  hiip  whom  ^he  hath  sent. 

30  They  said  therefore  unto  him.  What  then  doest  thou 
for  a  sign,  that  we  may  see,  and  believe  thee  ?  what 

31  workest  thou?  Our  fathers  ate  the  manna  in  the 
wilderness;   as  it  is  Avritten,  He  gave  them  bread 

32  out  of  heaven  to  eat.  Jesus  therefore  said  unto 
them.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  It  was  not  Mo'- 
ses  that  gave  you  the  bread  out  of  heaven ;  but  my 
Father  giveth  you  the  true  bread   out  of  heaven. 

33  For  the  bread  of  God  is  that  which  cometh   down 

34  out  of  heaven,  and  giveth  life  unto  the  world.  They 
said  therefore  unto  him.  Lord,  evermore  give  us  this 

35  bread.  Jesus  said  unto  them,  I  am  the  bread  of  life : 
he  that  cometh  to  me  shall  not  hunger,  and  he  that 

36  believeth  on  me  shall  never  thirst.     But  I  said  unto 

37  you,  that  ye  have  seen  me,  and  yet  believe  not.  All 
that  which  the  Father  giveth  me  shall  come  unto 
me ;  and  him  that  cometh  to  me  I  will  in  no  wise 

38  cast  out.  For  I  am  come  down  from  heaven,  not 
to  do  mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  him  that  sent 

39  me.  And  this  is  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me,  that 
of  all  that  which  he  hath  given   me  I  should  lose 

40  nothing,  but  should  raise  it  up  at  the  last  day.  For 
this  is  the  will  of  my  Father,  that  every  one  that 
beholdeth  the  Son,  and  believeth  on  him,  should 
have  eternal  life;  and  *I  will  raise  him  up  at  the 
last  day. 

41  The  Jews  therefore  murmured  concerning  him, 
because  he  said,  I  am  the  bread  which  came  down 

42  out  of  heaven.  And  they  said.  Is  not  this  Jesus,  the 
son  of  Jo'seph,  whose  father  and  mother  we  know? 
how  doth  he  now  say,  I  am  come  down   out   of 

43  heaven  ?     Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Mur- 
44nuir  not  among  yourselves.     No  man  can  come  to 

me,  except  the  Father  which  sent  me  draw  him:  and 

45 1  will  raise  him  up  in  the  last  day.     It  is  t\Titten  in 

the  prophets.  And  they  shall  all  be  taught  of  God. 

Every   one  that  hath   heard   from  the  Father,  and 

46  hath  learned,  cometh  unto  me.  Not  that  any  man 
hath  seen  the  Father,  save  he  which  is  from  God,  he 

47  hath  seen  the   Father.     Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 

48  you.  He  that  believeth  hath  eternal  life.     I  am  the 

49  bread  of  life.     Your  fathers  did  eat  the  manna  in 

50  the  wilderness,  and  they  died.  This  is  the  bread 
which  cometh  down  out  of  heaven,  that  a  man  m.jy 

51  eat  thereof,  and  not  die.  I  am  the  living  bread 
which  came  down  out  of  heaven :  if  any  man  eat 
of  this  bread,  he  shall  live  forever:  yea  and  the 
bread  which  I  will  give  is  my  flesh,  for  the  life  of 
the  world. 

52  The  Jews  therefore  strove  one  with  another,  say- 
ing, How  can  this  man  give  us  his  flesh  to  eat?

53  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you.  Except  "ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son  of  man,  and  drink 
his  blood,  ye  have  no  life  in  you, 

54  «Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood,  hath 
eternal  life ;  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

55  For  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and  my  blood  is  drink  indeed. 

56  He  that  eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood, 
'dwelleth  in  me,  and  I  in  him. 

57  As  the  living  Father  hath  sent  me,  and  I  live  by  the 
Father;  so  he  that  eateth  me,  even  he  shall  live  by  me. 

58  'This  is  that  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven :  not 
as  your  fathers  did  eat  manna,  and  are  dead :  he  that  eateth 
of  this  bread  shall  live  foi  ever. 

59  These  things  said  he  in  the  synagogue,  as  he  taught  in 
Ca-peyna-um. 

60  'Many  therefore  of  his  disciples,  when  they  had  heard 
this,  said.  This  is  a  hard  saying;  who  can  hear  it? 

61  When  Jesus  knew  in  himself  that  his  disciples  mur- 
mured at  it,  he  said  unto  them.  Doth  this  offend  you? 

62  "What  and  if  ye  shall  see  the  Son  ot  man  ascend  up 
where  he  was  before? 

63  *It  is  the  Spirit  that  quickeneth;  the  flesh  profitetb 
nothing:  the  words  that  I  speak  unto  you,  they  are  spirit, 
and  they  are  life. 

64  But  "there  are  some  of  you  that  believe  not.  For  "Jesus 
knew  from  the  beginning  who  they  were  that  believed  not, 
and  who  should  betray  him. 

65  And  he  said.  Therefore  "said  I  unto  you,  that  no  man 
can  come  unto  me,  except  it  were  given  unto  him  of  my 
Father. 

66  ^'From  that  time  many  of  his  disciples  went  back,  and 
walked  no  more  with  him. 

67  Then  said  Jesus  unto  the  twelve,  Will  ye  also  go  away? 

68  Then  Si'mon  Pe'ter  answered  him.  Lord,  to  whom  shall 
we  go  ?  thou  hast  ''the  words  of  eternal  life. 

69  ''And  we  believe  and  are  sure  that  thou  art  that  Christ, 
the  Son  of  the  living  God. 

70  Jesus  answered  them,  "Have  not  I  chosen  you  twelve, 
•'and  one  of  you  is  a  devil  ? 

71  He  spake  of  Ju'das  Is-ca/i-ot,  the  son  of  Si'mon :  for  he 
it  was  that  should  betray  him,  being  one  of  the  twelve. 

CHAPTER    VII. 

Christ  teacheik  in  the  temple. 

AFTER  these  things  Jesus  walked  in  Gal'i-lee:  for  he  would 
not  walk  in  Jew'ry,  "because  the  Jews  sought  to  kill  him. 

2  *Now  the  Jews'  feast  of  tabernacles  was  at  hand. 

3  'His  brethren  therefore  said  unto  him.  Depart  hence,  and 
go  into  Ju-de'a,  that  thy  disciples  also  may  see  the  works  that 
thou  doest. 

4  For  there  is  no  man  that  doeth  any  thing  in  secret,  and 
he  himself  seeketh  to  be  known  openly.  If  thou  do  these 
things,  shew  thyself  to  the  world. 

5  For  ''neither  did  his  brethren  believe  in  him. 

6  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  'My  time  is  not  yet  come: 
but  your  time  is  always  ready. 

7  ■'^The  world  cannot  hate  you;  but  me  it  hateth,  "because 
I  testify  of  it,  that  the  works  thereof  are  evil. 

8  Go  ye  up  unto  this  feast:  I  go  not  up  yet  unto  this 
feast;  ''for  my  time  is  not  yet  full  come. 

9  When  he  had  said  these  words  unto  them,  he  abode  still 
in  Gal'i-lee. 

10  ^But  when  his  brethren  were  gone  up,  then  went  he 
also  up  unto  the  feast,  not  openly,  but  as  it  were  in  secret. 

11  Then  'the  Jews  sought  him  at  the  feast,  and  said.  Where 
is  he? 

12  And  *there  was  much  murmuring  among  the  people 
concerning  him :  for  'some  said.  He  is  a  good  man :  others 
said,  Nay ;  but  he  deceiveth  the  people. 

13  Howbeit  no  man  spake  openly  of  him,'"for  fear  of  the  Jews. 


53  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you.  Except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son  of  man 
and  drink  his  blood,  ye  have  not  life  in  yourselves. 

54  He  that  eateth  my  flesh  and  drinketh  my  blood  hath 
eternal  life ;  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day 

55  For  my  flesh  is  'meat  indeed,  and  my  blood  is  Mrink 

56  indeed.     He  that  eateth  my  flesh  and  drinketh  my 

57  blood  abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him.  As  the  living 
Father  sent  me,  and  I  live  because  of  the  Father; 
so  he  that  eateth  me,  he  also  shall  live  because  of 

58  me.  This  is  the  bread  which  came  down  out  of 
heaven  :  not  as  the  fathers  did  eat,  and  died :  he  that 

59  eateth  this  bread  shall  live  for  ever.  These  things 
said  he  in  'the  synagogue,  as  he  taught  in  Ca-per'- 
na-um. 

60  Many  therefore  of  his  disciples,  when  they  heard 
this,  said,  This  is  a  hard  saying;  who  can  hear  ^it? 

61  But  Jesus  knowing  in  himself  that  his  disciples  mur- 
mured at  this,  said  unto  them.  Doth  this  cause  you 

62 to  stumble?     What  then  if  ye  should  behold  the 

63  Son  of  man  ascending  where  he  was  before?  It  is 
the  spirit  that  quickeneth;  the  flesh  profiteth  noth- 
ing:   the  words  that   I   have  spoken   unto  you  are 

64  spirit,  and  are  life.  But  there  are  some  of  you  that 
believe  not.  For  Jesus  knew  from  the  beginning 
who  they  were  that  believed  not,  and  who  it  was 

65  that  should  betray  him.  And  he  said.  For  this 
cause  have  I  said  unto  you,  that  no  man  can  come 
unto  me,  except  it  be  given  unto  him  of  the  Father. 

66  Upon  this  many  of  his  disciples  went  back,  and 

67  walked  no  more  with  him.     Jesus  said  therefore  unto 

68  the  twelve.  Would  ye  also  go  away  ?  Si'mon  Pe'ter 
answered  him,  Lord,  to  whom   shall  we  go  ?   thou 

69  'hast  the  words  of  eternal  life.  And  we  have  be- 
lieved and  know  that  thou  art  the  Holy  One  of  God. 

70  Jesus  answered  them.  Did  not  I  choose  you  the 

71  twelve,  and  one  of  you  is  a  devil  ?  Now  he  spake 
of  Ju'das  the  son  of  Si'mon  Is-car'i-ot,  for  he  it  was 
that  should  betray  him,  being  one  of  the  twelve. 

♦  And  after  these  things  Jesus  walked  in  Gal'i-lee : 
for  he  would  not  walk  in  Ju-dse'a,  because  the  Jews 

2  sought  to  kill  him.     Now  the  feast  of  the  Jews,  the 

3  feast  of  tabernacles,  was  at  hand.  His  brethren 
therefore  said  unto  him.  Depart  hence,  and  go  into 
Ju-dse'a,  that  thy  disciples  also  may  behold  thy  works 

4  which  thou  doest.  For  no  man  doeth  anything  in 
secret,  'and  himself  seeketh  to  be  known  openly. 
If  thou  doest  these  things,  manifest  thyself  to  the 

5  world.     For  even  his  brethren  did   not   believe  on 

6  him.     Jesus  therefore  saith  qnto  them,  My  time  is 

7  not  yet  come ;  but  your  time  is  alway  ready.  The 
world  cannot  hate  you ;  but  me  it  hateth,  because  I 

8  testify  of  it,  that  its  works  are  evil.  Go  ye  up  unto 
the  feast:  I  go  not  up  'yet  unto  this  feast;  because 

9  my  time  is  not  yet  fulfilled.  And  having  said  these 
things  unto  them,  he  abode  still  in  Gal'i-lee. 

10  But  when  his  brethren  were  gone  up  unto  the 
feast,  then  went  he  also  up,  not   publicly,  but  as  it 

11  were  in  secret.     The  Jews  therefore  sought  him  at 
12 the  feast, and  said.  Where  is  he?     And  there  was 

much  murmuring  among  the  multitudes  concerning 
him :  some  said,  He  is  a  good  man ;  others  said, 
13  Not  so,  but  he  leadeth  the  multitude  astray.  How- 
beit no  man  spake  openly  of  him  for  fear  of  the 
Jews.

14  ^Now  about  the  midst  of  the  feast  Jesus  went  up  into 
the  temple,  and  taught. 

15  "And  the  Jews  marvelled,  saying,  How  knoweth  this 
man  |1  letters,  having  never  learned? 

16  Jesus  answered  them,  and  said,  "My  doctrine  ,is  not 
mine,  but  his  that  seut  me. 

17  "If  any  man  will  do  his  will,  he  shall  know  of  the  doc- 
trine, whether  it  be  of  God,  or  whether  I  speak  of  myself. 

18  «He  that  speaketh  of  himself  seeketa  his  own  glory : 
but  he  that  seeketh  his  glory  that  sent  him,  the  same  is 
true,  and  no  unrighteousness  is  in  him. 

19  ""Did  not  Mo'ses  give  you  the  law,  and  yet  none  of  you 
keepeth  the  law?    'Why  go  ye  about  to  kill  me? 

20  The  people  answered  and  said,  'Thou  hast  a  devil ;  who 
goeth  about  to  kill  thee  ? 

21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I  have  done  one 
work,  and  ye  all  marvel. 

22  "Mo'ses  therefore  gave  unto  you  circumcision ;  (not  be- 
cause it  is  of  Mo'ses,  "'but  of  the  fathers;)  and  ye  on  the 
sabbath  day  circumcise  a  man. 

23  If  a  man  on  the  sabbath  day  receive  circumcision, 
II  that  the  law  of  Mo'ses  should  not  be  broken ;  are  ye 
angry  at  me,  because  "I  have  made  a  man  every  whit  whole 
on  the  sabbath  day? 

24  'Judge  not  according  to  the  appearance;  but  judge 
righteous  judgment. 

25  Then  said  some  of  them  of  Je-ru'sa-lem,  Is  not  this  he, 
whom  they  seek  to  kill  ? 

26  But,  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly ,  and  they  say  nothing  unto  him. 
°Do  the  rulers  know  indeed  that  this  is  the  very  Christ  ? 

27  ''Howbeit  we  know  this  man  whence  he  is :  but  when 
Christ  Cometh,  no  man  knoweth  whence  he  is. 

28  Then  cried'  Jesus  in  the  temple  as  he  taught,  saying,  "Ye 
both  know  me,  and  ye  know  whence  I  am :  and  ''I  am  not  come 
of  myself,  but  he  that  sent  me  "is  true,  ■'whom  ye  know  not. 

29  But  "I  know  him:  forIamfromhim,and  hehathsentme. 

30  Then  *they  sought  to  take  him :  but  *no  man  laid  hands 
on  him,  because  his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 

31  And  *many  of  the  people  believed  on  him,  and  said. 
When  Christ  cometh,  will  he  do  more  miracles  than  these 
which  this  man  hath  done  ? 

32  ^The  Phar'i-sees  heard  that  the  people  murmured  such 
things  concerning  him ;  and  the  Phar  i-sees  and  the  chief 
priests  sent  officers  to  take  him. 

33  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  TTet  a  little  while  am  I 
with  you,  and  then  I  go  unto  him  that  sent  me. 

34  Ye  "shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not  find  me:  and  where 
I  am,  thither  ye  cannot  come. 

35  Then  said  the  Jews  among  themselves.  Whither  will 
he  go,  that  we  shall  not  find  him?  will  he  go  unto  "the  dis- 
persed among  the  || Gentiles,  and  teach  the  Gentiles? 

36  What  manner  of  saying  is  this  that  he  said.  Ye  shall 
seek  me,  and  shall  not  find  me;  and  where  I  am,  thither  ye 
cannot  come  ? 

37  °In  the  last  day,  that  great  day  of  the  feast,  Jesus  stood 
and  cried,  saying,  ''If  any  man  thirst,  let  him  come  unto  me, 
and  drink. 

38  «He  that  believeth  on  me,  as  the  Scripture  hath  said, 
'out  of  his  belly  shall  flow  rivers  of  living  water. 

39  ('But  this  spake  he  of  the  Spirit,  which  they  that  be- 
lieve on  him  should  receive :  for  the  Holy  Ghost  was  not 
yet  given :  because  that  Jesus  was  not  yet  'glorified.) 

40  TJMany  of  the  people  therefore,  when  they  heard  this 
saying,  said.  Of  a  truth  this  is  "the  Prophet. 

41  Others  said,  "'This  is  the  Christ.  But  some  said.  Shall 
Christ  come  "out  of  Gal'i-lee  ? 

42  "HathnottheScripturesaid,ThatChristcometli  oftheseed 
ofDa'vid,andoutofthetownofBeth'le-hem,''whereDa'vidwas? 

43  So  Hhere  was  a  division  among  the  people  because  of  him. 


14  But  when  it  was  now  the  midst  of  the  feast  Jesus 

15  went  up  into  the  temple,  and  taught.  The  Jews 
therefore  marvelled,  saying.  How  knoweth  this  man 

16 letters,  having  never  learned?  Jesus  therefore  an 
swered  them,  and  said.  My  teaching  is  not  mine,  but 

17  his  that  sent  me.  If  any  man  willeth  to  do  his  will,  he 
shall  know  of  the  teaching,  whether  it  be  of  God,  or 

18  whether  I  speak  from  myself.  He  that  speaketh 
from  himself  seeketh  his  own  glory:  but  he  that 
seeketh  the  glory  of  him  that  sent  him,  the  same  is 

19  true,  and  no  unrighteousness  is  in  him.  Did  not 
Mo'ses  give  you  the  law,  and  yet  none  of  you  doeth 

20 the  law?  Why  seek  ye  to  kill  me?  The  multi 
tude  answered.  Thou  hast  a  'devil :  who  seeketh  to 

21  kill  thee?    Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I 

22  did  one  work,  and  ye  all  'marvel.  For  this  cause 
hath  Mo'ses  given  you  circumcision  (not  that  it  is  of 
Mo'ses,  but  of  the    fathers) ;  and  on  the  sabbath  ye 

23  circumcise  a  man.  If  a  man  receiveth  circumcision 
on  the  sabbath,  that  the  law  of  Mo'ses  may  not  be 
broken ;    are   ye    wroth  with    me,  because   I   made 

24a  man  every  whit  whole  on  the  sabbath?  Judge 
not  according  to  appearance,  but  judge  righteous 
judgement, 

25  Some  therefore  of  them  of  Je-ru'sa-lem  said.  Is  not 

26  this  he  whom  they  seek  to  kill  ?  And  lo,  he  speaketh 
openly,  and  they  say  nothing  unto  him.  Can  it  be 
that  the  rulers  indeed  know  that  this  is  the  Christ? 

27  Howbeit  we  know  this  man  whence  he  is :  but  when 
the  Christ  cometh,  no  one  knoweth  whence  he  is. 

28  .Jesus  therefore   cried   in   the   temple,  teaching   and 
saying,  Ye  both  know  me,  and  know -whence  I  am 
and  I  am  not  come  of  myself,  but  he  that  sent  me  is 

29  true,  whom   ye   know   not.     I    know  him ;  because 
30 1  am  from  him,  and  he  sent  me.     They  sought  there- 
fore to  take  him :  and  no  man  laid  his  hand  on  him, 

31  because  his  hour  was  not  yet  come.  But  of  the 
multitude  many  believed  on  him ;  and  they  said. 
When  the  Christ  shall  come,  will  he  do  more  signs 

32  than  those  which  this  man  hath  done  ?  The  Phar'i- 
sees  heard  the  multitude  murmuring  these  things 
concerning  him  ;  and  the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar'i- 

33  sees  sent  officers  to  take  him.  Jesus  therefore  said, 
Yet  a  little  while  am  I  with  you,  and  I  go  unto  him 

34  that  sent  me.     Ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not  find 

35  me :  and  where  I  am,  ye  cannot  come.  The  Jews 
therefore  said  among  themselves,  Whither  will  this 
man  go  that  we  shall  not  find  him  ?  will  he  go  unto 
the   Dispersion  ^among  the  Greeks,  and  teach    the 

36  Greeks?  What  is  this  word  that  he  said.  Ye  shall 
seek  me,  and  shall  not  find  me :  and  where  I  am,  ye 
cannot  come? 

37  Now  on  the  last  day,  the  great  day  of  the  feast, 
Jesus  stood  and  cried,  saying.  If  any  man  thirst,  let 

38  him  come  unto  me,  and  drink.  He  that  believeth 
on  m«,  as  the   scripture  hath  said,  out  of  his  belly 

39  shall  flow  rivers  of  living  water.  But  this  spake  he 
of  the  Spirit,  which  they  that  believed  on  him  were 
to  receive:  *for  the  Spirit  was  not  yet  given;  because 

40  Jesus  was  not  yet  glorified.  Some  of  the  multitude 
therefore,  when  they  heard  these  words,  said.  This 

41  is  of  a  truth  the  prophet.  Others  said.  This  is  the 
Christ.     But  some  said,  What,  doth  the  Christ  come 

42  out  of  Gal'i-lee?  Hath  not  the  scripture  said  that 
the   Christ  cometh  of  the  seed  of  Da'vid,  and  from 

43  Beth'le-hem,  the  village  were  Da'vid  was  ?  So  there 
arose  a  division  in  the  multitude  because  of  him.

44  And  'some  of  them  would  have  taken  him ;  but  no  man 
laid  hands  on  him. 

45  l[Then  came  the  officers  to  the  chief  priests  and  Phar'i- 
sees;  and  they  said  unto  them,  Why  have  ye  not  brought 
him? 

46  The  officers  answered,  ''Never  man  spake  like  this  man. 

47  Then  answered  them  the  Phar'i-sees,  Are  ye  also  deceived? 

48  'Have  any  of  the  rulers  or  of  the  Phar'i-sees  believed 
on  him? 

49  But  this  people  who  knoweth  not  the  law  are  cursed. 

50  Nic-o-de'mus  saith  unto  them,  (^he  that  came  fto  Jesus 
by  night,  being  one  of  them,) 

51  "Doth  our  law  judge  any  man,  before  it  hear  him,  and 
know  what  he  doeth? 

52  They  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  also  of  Gal'- 
i-lee?  Search,  and  look:  for*out  of  Gal'i-lee ariseth  no  prophet. 

53  And  every  man  went  unto  his  own  house. 

CHAPTER   VIII. 

O/ ttu  woman  taken  in  adultery, 

JESUS  went  unto  the  mount  of  Olives. 
2  And  early  in  the  morning  he  came  again  into  the  tem- 
ple, and  all  the  people  came  unto  him;   and  he  sat  down 
and  taught  them. 

3  And  the  scribes  and  Phar'i-sees  brought  unto  him  a 
woman  taken  in  adultery;  and  when  they  had  set  her  in 
the  midst, 

4  They  say  unto  him.  Master,  this  woman  was  taken  in 
adultery,  in  the  very  act. 

5  "Now  Mo'ses  in  the  law  commanded  us,  that  such  should 
be  stoned :  but  what  sayest  thou  ? 

6  This  they  said,  tempting  him,  that  they  might  have  to 
accuse  him.  But  Jesus  stooped  down,  and  with  his  finger 
wrote  on  the  ground,  as  though  he  heard  them  not. 

7  So  when  they  continued  asking  him,  he  lifted  up  him- 
self, and  said  unto  them  'He  that  is  without  sin  among  you, 
let  him  iirst  cast  a  stone  at  her. 

8  And  again  he  stooped  down,  and  wrote  on  the  ground. 

9  And  they  which  heard  it,  ''being  convicted  by  their  own 
conscience,  went  out  one  by  one,  beginning  at  the  eldest, 
even  unto  the  last :  and  Jesus  was  left  alone,  and  the  woman 
standing  in  the  midst. 

10  When  Jesus  had  lifted  up  himself,  and  saw  none  but 
the  woman,  he  said  unto  her,  Woman,  where  are  those  thine 
accusers?  hath  no  man  condemned  thee? 

11  She  said,  No  man.  Lord.  And  Jesus  said  unto  her, 
■•Neither  do  I  condemn  thee:  go, and  'sin  no  more. 

12  "^Then  spake  Jesus  again  unto  them,  saying,  •'^I  am  the 
light  of  the  world :  he  that  followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in 
darkness,  but  shall  have  the  light  of  life. 

13  The  Phar'i-sees  therefore  said  unto  him,  'Thou  bearest 
record  of  thyself;  thy  record  is  not  true. 

14  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Though  I  bear 
record  of  myself,  yet  my  record  is  true :  for  I  know  whence 
I  came,  and  whither  I  go;  but  *ye  cannot  tell  whence  I 
come,  and  whither  I  go. 

15  'Ye  judge  after  the  flesh ;  *I  jndge  no  man. 

16  And  yet  if  I  judge,  my  judgment  is  true:  for  'I  am 
not  alone,  but  I  and  the  Father  that  sent  me. 

17  "It  is  also  written  in  your  law,  that  the  testimony  of 
two  men  is  true. 

18  I  am  one  that  bear  witness  of  myself,  and  "the  Father 
that  sent  me  beareth  witness  of  me. 

19  Then  said  they  uuto  him.  Where  is  thy  Father?  Jesus 
answered,  "Ye  neither  know  me,  nor  my  Father:  "if  ye  had 
known  me,  ye  should  have  known  my  Father  also. 

20  These  words  spake  Jesus  in  «the  treasury,  as  he  taught 
in  the  temple :  and  'no  man  laid  hands  on  him ;  for  'his 
hour  was  not  yet  come. 


44  And  some  of  them  would  have  taken  him ;  but  no 
man  laid  hands  on  him. 

45  The  officers  therefore  came  to  the  chief  priests  and 
Phar'i-sees ;  and  they  said  unto  them,  Why  did  ye  not 

46  bring  him  ?   The  officers  answered.  Never  man  so 

47  spake.   The  Phar'i-sees  therefore  answered  them.  Are 

48  ye  also  led  astray  ?    Hath  any  of  the  rulers  believed 
49 on  him,  or  of  the  Phar'i-sees?    But  this  multitude 

50  which  knoweth  not  the  law  are  accursed.  Nic-o-de'mus 
saith  unto  them  (he  that  came  to  him  before,  being 

51  one  of  them),  Doth  our  law  judge  a  man,  except  it 
first  hear  from  himself  and  know  what  he  doeth  ? 

52  They  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  also  of 
Gal'i-lee?  Search,  and  's''"  that  out  of  Gal'i-lee 
ariseth  no  prophet. 

53  ^[And    they    went    every    man     unto    his    own 
O house:    but  Jesus  went  unto  the  mount  of  Olives. 

2  And  early  in  the  morning  he  came  again  into  the 
temple,  and    all   the   people   came  unto   him ;   and 

3  he  sat  down,  and  taught  them.  And  the  scribes 
and  the  Phar'i-sees  bring  a  woman  taken  in  adul- 

4tery;  and  having  set  her  in  the  midst,  they  say 
unto  him,   ^Master,  this  woman   hath  been   taken 

5  in  adultery,  in  the  very  act.  Now  in  the  law  Mo'- 
ses commanded  us  to  stone  such :    what  then  say- 

6 est  thou  of  her?  And  this  they  said,  ^tempting 
him,  that  they  might  have  whereof  to  accuse  him. 
But  Jesus  stooped  down,  and  with  his  finger  wrote 

7  on  the  ground.  But  when  they  continued  asking 
him,  he  lifted  up  himself,  and  said  unto  them,  He 
that  is  without  sin  among  you,  let  him  first  cast  a 

8  stone  at  her.     And  again  he  stooped  down,  and  with 

9  his  finger  wrote  on  the  ground.  And  they,  when 
they  heard  it,  went  out  one  by  one,  beginning  from 
the  eldest,  even  unto  the  last:  and  Jesus  was  left 
alone,  and  the  woman,  where  she  was,  in  the  midst 

10  And  Jesus  lifted  up  himself,  and  said  unto  her. 
Woman,  where  are  they  ?  did  no  man  condemn  thee? 

1 1  And   she   said.   No   man.  Lord.     And   Jesus   said. 
Neither  do  I  condemn  thee  :  go  thy  way;  from  hence 
forth  sin  no  more.] 

12  Again  therefore  Jesus  spake  unto  them,  saying,  I 
am  the  light  of  the  world  :  he  that  followeth  me  shall 
not  walk  in  the  darkness,  but  shall  have  the  light  of 

13  life.  The  Phar'i-sees  therefore  said  unto  him,  Tliou 
bearest  witness  of  thyself;   thy  witness  is  not  true. 

14  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them.  Even  if  I  bear 
witness  of  myself,  my  witness  is  true;  for  I  know 
whence  I  came,  and  whither  I  go ;  but  ye  know  not 

15  whence  I  come,  or  whither  I  go.    Ye  judge  after  the 

16  flesh;  I  judge  no  man.  Yea  and  if  I  judge,  my 
judgement  is  true ;  for  I  am  not  alone,  but  I  and  the 

17  Father  that  sent  me.    Yea  and  in  your  law  it  is  writ- 

18  ten,  that  the  witness  of  two  men  is  true.  I  am  he 
that  beareth  witness  of  myself,  and  the  Father  that 

19  sent  me  beareth  witness  of  me.  They  said  therefore 
unto  him,  Where  thy  Father?  Jesus  answered, 
Ye  know  neither  m^,,  nor  my  Father:  if  ye  knew  me, 

20  ye  would  know  my  Father  also.  These  words  spake 
he  in  the  treasury,  as  he  taught  in  the  temple :  and 
no  man  took  him;  because  bis  hour  was  not  yet 
come.

21  Then  said  Jesus  again  unto  them,  I  go  my  way,  and 
'ye  shall  seek  me,  and  "shall  die  in  your  sins :  whither  I  go 
ye  cannot  come. 

22  Then  said  the  Jews,  Will  he  kill  himself?  because  he 
saith.  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them,  "'Ye  are  from  beneath;  I  am 
from  above :  "ye  are  of  this  world ;  I  am  not  of  this  world. 

24  'I  said  therefore  unto  you,  that  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins : 
"for  if  ye  believe  not  that  I  am  he,  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins. 

25  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Who  art  thou?  And  Jesus 
saith  unto  them.  Even  the  same  that  I  said  unto  you  from 
the  beginning. 

26  I  have  many  things  to  say  and  to  judge  of  you :  but 
'he  that  sent  me  is  true ;  and  "I  speak  to  the  world  those 
things  which  I  have  heard  of  him. 

27  They  understood  not  that  he  spake  to  them  of  the  Father. 

28  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  When  ye  have  ''lifted  up 
the  Son  of  man,  'then  shall  ye  know  that  I  am  he,  and  -^that 
I  do  nothing  of  myself;  but  'as  my  Father  hath  taught  me, 
I  speak  these  things. 

29  And  'he  that  sent  me  is  with  me :  'the  Father  hath  not 
left  me  alone ;  *for  I  do  always  those  things  that  please  him. 

30  As  he  spake  these  words,  'many  believed  on  him. 

31  Then  said  Jesus  to  those  Jews  which  believed  on  him, 
If  ye  continue  in  my  word,  then  are  ye  my  discipies  indeed  ; 

32  And  ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and  ""the  truth  shall 
make  you  free. 

33  ^They  answered  him,  "We  be  A'bra-ham's  seed,  and 
were  never  in  bondage  to  any  man:  how  sayest  thou,  Ye 
shall  be  made  free? 

34  Jesus  answered  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
"Whosoever  committeth  sin  is  the  servant  of  sin. 

35  And ''the  servant  abideth  not  in  the  house  for  ever: 
but  the  Son  abideth  ever. 

36  'If  the  Son  therefore  shall  make  you  free,  ye  shall  be 
free  indeed. 

37  I  know  that  ye  are  A'bra-ham's  seed;  but  'ye  seek  to 
kill  me,  because  my  word  hath  no  place  in  you. 

38  'I  speak  that  which  I  have  seen  with  my  Father:  and 
ye  do  that  which  ye  have  seen  with  your  father. 

39  They  answered  and  said  unto  him,  'A'bra-ham  is  our 
father.  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "If  ye  were  A'braham's 
children,  ye  would  do  the  works  of  A'bra-ham. 

40  "But  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a  man  that  hath  told  you 
the  truth,  "which  I  have  heard  of  God :  this  did  not  A'bra-ham. 

41  Ye  do  the  deeds  of  your  father.  Then  said  they  to  him, 
We  be  not  born  of  fornication;  'we  have  one  Father,  even 
God. 

42  Jesus  said  unto  them,  "If  God  were  your  father,  ye 
would  love  me ;  ""for  I  proceeded  forth  and  came  from  God ; 

neither  came  I  of  myself,  but  he  sent  me. 

43  ''Why  do  ye  not  understand  my  speech  ?  even  because 
ye  cannot  hear  my  word. 

44  'Ye  are  of  your  father  the  devil,  and  the  lusts  of  your 
father  ye  will  do :  he  was  a  murderer  from  the  beginning, 
and  •'abode  not  in  the  truth,  because  there  is  no  truth  in 
him.  When  he  speaketh  a  lie,  he  speaketh  of  his  own  :  for 
he  is  a  liar,  and  the  father  of  it. 

45  And  because  I  tell  you  the  truth,  ye  believe  me  not. 

46  Which  of  you  convinceth  me  of  sin?  And  if  I  say  the 
truth,  why  do  ye  not  believe  me  ? 

47  "He  that  is  of  God,  beareth  God's  words :  ye  therefore 
hear  them  not,  because  ye  are  not  of  God. 

48  Then  answered  the  Jews,  and  said  unto  him.  Say  we 
not  well  that  thou  art  a  Sa-mar'i-tan,  and  ''hast  a  devil? 

49  Jesus  answered,  I  Iiave  not  a  devil ;  but  I  honour  my 
Father,  and  ye  do  dishonour  me. 

50  And  I  'seek  uot  mine  own  glory :  there  is  one  that 
seeketh  and  judgeth. 


21  He  said  therefore  again  unto  them,  I  go  away, 
and  ye  shall   seek   me,  and  shall  die   in  your  sin : 

22  whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come.  The  Jews  therefore 
said.  Will  he  kill  himself,  that  he  saith.  Whither  I 

23  go,  ye  cannot  come  ?  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye 
are  from  beneath ;  I  am  from  above :  ye  are  of  this 

[  24  world  ;  I  am  not  of  this  world.  I  said  therefore  unto 
you,  that  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins :  for  except  ye 
believe   that  'I   am  he,  ye  shall   die  in  your  sins. 

25  They  said  therefore  unto  him.  Who  art  thou  ?  Jesus 
said  unto  them,  ^Even  that  which  I  have  also  spoken 

26  unto  you  from  the  beginning.  I  have  many  things 
to  speak  and  to  judge  concerning  you :  howbeit  he 
that  sent  me  is  true ;  and  the  things  which  I  heard 

27  from  him,  these  speak  I  ^unto  the  world.  They 
perceived  not  that  he  spake  to  them  of  the  Father. 

28  Jesus  therefore  said.  When  ye  have  lifted  up  the 
Son  of  man,  then  shall  ye  know  that  *I  am  he,  and 
that   I   do   nothing   of  myself,  but  as  the    Father 

29  taught  me,  I  speak  these  things.  And  he  that  sent 
me  is  with  me ;  he  hath  net  left  me  alone ;  for  I  do 

30  always  the  things  that  are  pleasing  to  him.  As  he 
spake  these  things,  many  believed  on  him. 

31  Jesus  therefore  said  to  thos-.  Jews  which  had  be- 
lieved him,  If  ye  abide  in    my  word,    then  are  ye 

32 truly  my  disciples;  and  ye   shall   know    the  truth, 

33  and  the  truth  shall  make  you  free.     They  answered 

unto  him.  We  be  A'bra-ham's  seed,  and  have  never 

yet  been  in  bondage  to  any  man  :  how  sayest  thou, 

34 Ye   shall    be   made    free?       Jesus   answered    them, 

Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Every  one  that  com- 

35  mitteth  sin  is  the  bondservant  of  sin.  And  the 
bondservant  abideth  not  in  the  house  for  ever :  the 

36  son   abideth  for  ever.     If  therefore   the   Son  shall 

37  make  you  free,  ye  shall  be  free  indeed.  I  know  that 
ye   are  A'bra-ham's  seed ;    yet  ye  seek  to  kill  me, 

38  because  my  word  'hath  not  free  course  in  you.  I 
speak  the  things  which  I  have  seen  with  'my  Father  : 
and  ye  also  do  the  things  which  ye  heard  from  your 

39  father.  They  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Our 
father  is  A'bra-ham.  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  If  ye 
'wore  A'bra-ham's  children,  *ye  would  do  the  works 

40  of  A'bra-ham.  But  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a  man 
that  hath  told  you  the  truth,  which  I    heard  from 

41  God :  this  did  not  A'bra-ham.  Ye  do  the  works  of 
your  father.     They  said  unto  him,  We  were  not  born 

42  of  fornication  ;  we  have  one  Father,  even  God.  Jesus 
said  unto  them.  If  God  were  your  Father,  ye  would 
love  me :  for  I  came  forth  and  am  come  from  God  ; 
for  neither  have  I  come  of  myself,  but  he   sent  me. 

43  Why  do  ye  not  'understand  my  speech  ?     Even  be- 

44  cause  ye  cannot  hear  my  word.  Ye  are  of  your 
father  the  devil,  and  the  lusts  of  your  father  it  is 
your  will  to  do.  He  was  a  murderer  from  the  be- 
ginning, and  '"stood  not  in  the  truth,  because  there 
is  no  truth  in  him.  "When  he  speaketh  a  lie,  he 
speaketh  of  his  own :  for  he  is  a  liar,  and  the  father 

45  thereof.     But  because  I  say  the  truth,  ye  believe  me 

46  not.     Which  of  you  convicteth  me  of  sin  ?     If  I  say 
47 truth,  why   do   ye   not  believe  me?     He  that  is  of 

God  heareth  the  words  of  God :  for  this  cause  ye 

48  hear  them  not,  because  ye  are  not  of  God.  The 
Jews  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Say  we  not  well 

49  that  thou  art  a  Sa-mar'itan,and  hast  a  '^devil?  Jesus 
answered,  I  have  not  a  "devil ;  but  I  honour  my  Fa- 

50ther,  and  ye  dishonour  me.  But  I  seek  not  mine 
own  glory :  there  is  one  that  seeketh  and  judgeth.

51  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  *If  a  man  keep  my  say- 
ing, he  shall  never  see  death. 

52  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him.  Now  we  know  that  thou 
hast  a  devil.  'A'bra-ham  is  dead,  and  the  prophets;  and  thou 
sayest.  If  a  man  keep  my  saying,  he  shall  never  taste  of  death. 

53  Art  thou  greater  than  our  fatherA'bra-ham,  which  is  dead? 
and  the  prophets  are  dead :  whom  makest  thou  thyself? 

54  Jesus  answered,  "'If  I  honour  myself,  my  honour  is 
nothing :  "it  is  my  Father  that  honoureth  me ;  of  whom  ye 
say,  that  he  is  your  God : 

55  Yet  "ye  have  not  known  him ;  but  I  know  him :  and  if 
I  should  say,  I  know  him  not,  I  shall  be  a  liar  like  unto  you : 
but  I  know  him,  and  keep  his  saying. 

56  Your  father  A'bra-ham  "rejoiced  to  see  my  day :  'and 
he  saw  it,  and  was  glad. 

67  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him.  Thou  art  not  yet  fifty 
years  old,  and  hast  thou  seen  A'bra-ham? 

58  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
Before  A'bra-ham  was,  'I  am. 

59  Then  'took  they  up  stones  to  cast  at  him:  but  Jesus 
hid  himself,  and  went  out  of  the  temple,  'going  through  the 
midst  of  them,  and  so  passed  by. 

CHARTER    IX. 

A  man  born  biind  restored  to  stght, 

AND  as  Jesus  passed  by,  he  saw  a  man  which  was  blind 
from  his  birth. 

2  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying,  Master,  "who  did 
sin,  this  man,  or  his  parents,  that  he  was  born  blind? 

3  Jesus  answered.  Neither  hath  this  man  sinned,  nor  his 
parents :  'but  that  the  works  of  God  should  be  made  mani- 
fest in  him. 

4  "I  must  work  the  works  of  him  that  sent  me,  while  it  is 
day :  the  night  oometh,  when  no  man  can  work. 

5  As  long  as  I  am  in  the  world,  ''I  am  the  light  of  the  world. 

6  When  he  had  thus  spoken,  *he  spat  on  the  ground,  and 
made  clay  of  the  spittle,  and  he  ||  anointed  the  eyes  of  the 
blind  man  with  the  clay, 

7  And  said  unto  him,  Go,  wash  ^in  the  pool  of  Si-lo'am, 
(which  is  by  interpretation.  Sent.)  'He  went  his  way  there- 
fore, and  washed,  and  came  seeing. 

8  li  The  neighbours  therefore,  and  they  which  before  had 
seen  him  that  he  was  blind,  said.  Is  not  this  he  that  sat  and 
begged  ? 

9  Some  said.  This  is  he :  others  said.  He  is  like  him :  but 
he  said,  I  am  he. 

10  Therefore  said  they  unto  him,  How  were  thine  eyes 
opened? 

11  He  answered  and  said,  *A  man  that  is  called  Jesus 
made  clay,  and  anointed  mine  eyes,  and  said  unto  me.  Go 
to  the  pool  of  Si-lo'am,  and  wash :  and  I  went  and  washed, 
and  I  received  sight. 

12  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Where  is  he?  He  said,  I 
know  not. 

13  ^They  brought  to  the  Phar'i-sees  him  that  aforetime 
was  blind. 

14  And  it  was  the  sabbath  day  when  Jesus  made  the  clay, 
and  opened  his  eyes. 

15  Then  again  the  Phar'i-sees  also  asked  him  how  he  had 
received  his  sight.  He  said  unto  them.  He  put  clay  upon 
mine  eyes,  and  I  washed,  and  do  see. 

16  Therefore  said  some  of  the  Phar'i-sees,  This  man  is  not 
of  God,  because  he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath  day.  Others 
said,  *How  can  a  man  that  is  a  sinner  do  such  miracles? 
And  *there  was  a  division  among  them. 

17  They  say  unto  the  blind  man  again.  What  sayest  thou  of 
him,  that  he  hath  opened  thine  eyes  ?  He  said,  'He  is  a  prophet. 

18  But  the  Jews  did  not  believe  concerning  him,  that  he 
had  been  blind,  and  received  his  sight,  until  they  called  the 
parents  of  him  that  had  received  his  sight. 


51  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  If  a  man   keep  my 

52  word,  he  shall  never  see  death.  The  Jews  said  un- 
to him.  Now  we  know  that  thou  hast  a  'devil.  A'bra- 
ham  is  dead,  and  the  prophets ;  and  thou  sayest.  If 
a  man  keep  my  word,  he  shall  never  taste  of  death. 

53  Art  thou  greater  than  our  father  A'bra-ham,  which  is 
dead?  and  the    prophets   are    dead:    whom    makest 

54  thou  thyself?  Jesus  answered.  If  I  glorify  myself, 
my  glory  is  nothing:  it  is  my  Father  that  glorifieth 

55  me ;  of  whom  ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God ;  and  ye 
have  not  known  him:  but  I  know  him;  and  if  I 
should  say,  I  know  him  not,  I  shall  be  like  unto  you, 

56a  liar: 'but  I  know  him,  and  keep  his  word.     Your 

father  A'bra-ham  rejoiced  Ho  see  my  day ;  and  he  saw 
57  it,  and   was   glad.     The  Jews  therefore   said   unto 

him.  Thou  art  not  yet  fifty  years  old,  and  hast  thou 
58 seen    A'bra-ham?     Jesus    said    unto   them,    Verily, 

verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Before  A'bra-ham  'was,  I  am. 
59 They  took  up  stones  therefore  to  cast  at  him*  but 

Jesus  *hid  himself,  and  went  out  of  the  temple^. 

V  And  as  he  passed  by,  he  saw  a  man  blind  from 
2  his   birth.     And   his    disciples   asked   him,  saying. 

Rabbi,  who  did  sin,  this  man,  or  his  parents,  that  he 
3 should   be   born   blind?     Jesus   answered,   Neither 

did  this  man  sin,  nor  his  parents :  but  that  the  works 

4  of  God  should  be  made  manifest  in  him.  We  must 
work  the  works  of  him  that  sent  me,  while  it  is  day : 

5  the  night  cometh,  when  no  man  can  work.  When 
I  am  in   the  world,  I  am  the  light  of  the  world. 

6  When  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  spat  on  the  ground, 
and  made  clay  of  the  spittle,  'and  anointed  his  eyes 

7  with  the  clay,  and  said  unto  him.  Go,  wash  in  the 
pool  of  Si-lo'am  (which  is  by  interpretation,  Sent). 
He    went  away   therefore,  and   washed,   and   came 

8  seeing.  The  neighbours  therefore,  and  they  which 
saw'  him  aforetime,  that  he  was  a  beggar,  said.  Is 

9  not  this  he  that  sat  and  begged?  Others  said,  It  is 
he :  others  said.  No,  but  he  is  like  him.     He  said,  I 

10  am  he.     They  said  therefore  unto  him.   How  then 

1 1  were  thine  eyes  opened  ?  He  answered.  The  man 
that  is  called  Jesus  made  clay,  and  anointed  mine 
eyes,  and  said  unto  me.  Go  to  Si-lo'am,  and  wash :  so 
I  went  away  and   washed,    and  I  received    sight. 

12  And  they  said  unto  him.  Where  is  he?  He  saith, 
I  know  not. 

13  They  bring  to  the  Phar'i-sees  him  that  aforetime 

14  was  blind.  Now  it  was  the  sabbath  on  the  day 
when  Jesus  made  the  clay,   and    opened   his  eyes. 

15  Again  therefore  the  Phar'i-sees  also  asked  him  how 
he  received  his  sight.  And  he  said  unto  them.  He 
put  clay  upon  mine  eyes,  and  I  washed,  and  do  see. 

16  Some  therefore  of  the  Phar'i-sees  said.  This  man  is 
not  from  God,  because  he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath. 
But  others  said.  How  can  a  man  that  is  a  sinner  do 
such  signs?     And  there  was  a  division  among  them. 

17  They  say  therefore  unto  the  blind  man  again.  What 
sayest  thou  of  him.  In  that  he  opened  thine  eyes? 

18  And  he  said.  He  is  a  prophet.  The  Jews  therefore 
did  not  believe  concerning  him,  that  he  had  been 
blind,  and  had  received  his  sight,  until  they  called 
the    parents   of  him   that   had   received   his  sight,

19  And  they  asked  them,  saying,  Is  this  your  son,  who  ye 
say  was  born  blind  ?  how  then  doth  he  now  see  ? 

20  His  parents  answered  them  and  said,  We  know  that 
this  is  our  son,  and  that  he  was  born  blind : 

21  But  by  what  meaus  he  now  seeth,  we  know  not ;  or 
who  hath  opened  his  eyes,  we  know  not:  he  is  of  age;  ask 
him:  he  shall  speak  for  himself. 

22  These  words  spake  his  parents,  because  "they  feared 
the  Jews :  for  the  Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any  man 
did  confess  that  he  was  Christ,  he  "should  be  put  out  of  the 
synagogue. 

23  Therefore  said  his  parents,  He  is  of  age;  ask  him. 

24  Then  again  called  they  the  man  that  was  blind,  and 
said  unto  him,  "Give  God  the  praise :  "we  know  that  this 
man  is  a  sinner. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  Whether  he  be  a  sinner  or  no,  I 
know  not:  one  thing  I  know,  that,  whereas  I  was  blind, 
now  I  see. 

26  Then  said  they  to  him  again.  What  did  he  to  thee? 
how  opened  he  thine  eyes? 

27  He  answered  them,  I  have  told  you  already,  and  ye 
did  not  hear :  wherefore  would  ye  hear  it  again  ?  will  ye 
also  be  his  disciples? 

28  Then  they  reviled  him,  and  said.  Thou  art  his  disciple ; 
but  we  are  Mo'ses'  disciples. 

29  We  know  that  God  spake  unto  Mo'ses ;  as  for  this  fel- 
loic,  "we  know  not  from  whence  he  is. 

30  The  man  answered  and  said  unto  them,  'Why  herein  is 
a  marvellous  thing,  that  ye  know  not  from  whence  he  is, 
and  yet  he  hath  opened  mine  eyes. 

31  Now  we  know  that  'God  heareth  not  sinners;  but  if  any 
man  be  a  worshipper  of  God,  and  doeth  his  will,  him  he  heareth. 

32  Since  the  world  began  was  it  not  heard  that  any  man 
opened  the  eyes  of  one,  that  was  born  blind. 

33  'If  this  man  were  not  of  God,  he  could  do  nothing. 

34  They  answered  and  said  unto  liim,  "Thou  wast  altogether 
born  in  sins,  and  dost  thou  teach  us?     And  they  ||  cast  him  out. 

35  Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast  him  out;  and  when  he 
had  found  him,  he  said  unto  him.  Dost  thou  believe  on  ''the 
Son  of  God? 

36  He  answered  and  said.  Who  is  he.  Lord,  that  I  might 
believe  on  him? 

37  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Thou  hast  both  seen  him, 
and  "it  is  he  that  talketh  with  thee. 

38  And  he  said.  Lord,  I  believe.    And  he  worshipped  him. 

39  T[And  Jesus  said,  'For  judgment  I  am  come  into  this 
world,  "that  they  which  see  not  might  see ;  and  that  they 
which  see  might  be  made  blind. 

40  And  some  of  the  Phar'i-sees  which  were  with  him  heard 
these  words,  '"and  said  unto  him.  Are  we  blind  also? 

41  Jesus  said  unto  them,  "If  ye  were  blind,  ye  should  have 
no  sin :  but  now  ye  say,  We  see ;  therefore  your  sin  remaineth. 

CHAPTER  X. 

Christ  the  good  shepherd. 

VERILY,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  entereth  not 
by  the  door  into  the  sheepfold,  but  climbeth  up  some 
other  way,  the  same  is  a  thief  and  a  robber. 

2  But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door  is  the  shepherd  of 
the  sheep. 

3  To  him  the  porter  openeth;  and  the  sheep  hear  his  voice: 
and  he  calleth  his  own  sheep  by  name,  and  leadeth  them  out. 

4  And  when  he  putteth  forth  his  own  sheep,  he  goeth  be- 
fore them,  and  the  sheep  follow  him :  for  they  know  his  voice. 

5  And  a  stranger  will  they  not  follow,  but  will  flee  from 
him ;  for  they  know  not  the  voice  of  strangers. 

6  This  parable  spake  Jesus  unto  them ;  but  they  under- 
stood not  what  things  they  were  which  he  spake  unto  them. 

7  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  again,  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  I  am  the  door  of  the  sheep. 


19  and  asked  them,  saying.  Is  this  your  son,  who  ye 
say  was  born   blind  ?  how  then   doth  he   now  see  ? 

20  His  parents  answered  and  said.  We  know  that  this  is 

21  our  son,  and  that  he  was  born  blind :  but  how  he 
now  seeth,  we  know  not;  or  who  opened  his  eyes, 
we  know  not :  ask  him ;  he  is  of  age  ;  he  shall  speak 

22  for  himself.  These  things  said  his  parents,  because 
they  feared  the  Jews:  for  the  Jews  had  agreed  al- 
ready, that  if  any  man  should  confess  him  to  be 
Christ,  he   should   be    put  out  of  the    synagogue. 

23 Therefore  said  his  parents.  He  is  of  age;  ask  him. 

24  So  they  called  a  second  time  the  man  that  was  blind, 
and  said  unto  him.  Give  glory  to  God:  we  know 

25  that  this  man  is  a  sinner.  He  therefore  answered, 
Whether  he  be  a  sinner,  I  know  not:  one  thing  I 

26  know,  that,  whereas  I  was  blind,  now  I  see.  They 
said   therefore  unto   him.   What   did    he    to   thee? 

27 how  opened  he  thine  eyes?     He  answered  them,  I 

told  you  even  now,  and  ye  did  not  hear:  wherefore 

would  ye  hear  it  again?  would  ye  also  become  his 

28 disciples?     And  they   reviled  him,  and  said.  Thou 

29 art  his  disciple;  but  we  are  disciples  of  Mo'ses.    We 

know  that  God  hath  spoken  unto  Mo'ses ;  but  as  for 

30  this  man,  we  know  not  whence  he  is.  The  man 
answered  and  said  unto  them.  Why,  herein  is  the 
marvel,  that  ye  know  not  whence  he  is,  and  yet  he 

31  opened  mine  eyes.  We  know  that  God  heareth  not 
sinners:   but  if  any  man  be  a  worshipper  of  God, 

32  and  do  his  will,  him  he  heareth.  Since  the  world 
began  it  was  never  heard  that  any  one   opened  the 

33  eyes  of  a  man  born  blind.     If  this  man   were  not 

34  from  God,  he  could  do  nothing.  They  answered 
and  said  unto  him.  Thou  wast  altogether  born 
in  sins,  and  dost  thou  teach  us?  And  they  cast 
him  out. 

35  Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast  him  out ;  and  find- 
ing him,  he  said.  Dost  thou   believe  on  'the  Sou  of 

36 God?     He  answered  and  said.  And  who  is  he.  Lord, 

37  that  I  may  believe  on  him  ?  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
Thou  hast  both  seen  him,  and  he  it  is  that  speaketh 

38  with  thee.     And  he  said.  Lord,  I  believe.     And  he 

39  worshipped  him.  And  Jesus  said.  For  judgement 
came  1  into  this  world,  that  they  which  see  not  may 
see;  and  that   they    Avhich   see  may  become  blind. 

40  Those  of  the  Phar'i-sees  which  were  with  him  heard 
these  things,  and  said  unto  him.  Are  we  also  blind  ? 

41  Jesus  said  unto  them.  If  ye  were  blind,  ye  would 
have  no  sin :  but  now  ye  say.  We  see :  your  sin  re- 
maineth. 

Iv  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  entereth 
not  by  the  door  into  the  fold  of  the  sheep,  but 
climbeth  up  some  other  way,  the  same  is  a  thief 

2  and  a  robber.     But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door 

3  is  Hhe  shepherd  of  the  sheep.  To  him  the  porter 
openeth ;  and  the  sheep  hear  his  voice :  and  he 
calleth  his  own  sheep  by  name,  and  leadeth  them 

4  out.  When  he  hath  put  forth  all  his  own,  he  goeth 
before  them,  and    the    sheep  follow  him :  for  they 

5  know  his  voice.  And  a  stranger  will  they  not  fol- 
low, but  will  flee  from  him :  for  they  know  not  the 

6  voice  of  strangers.  This  'parable  spake  Jesus  unto 
them:  but  they  understood  not  what  things  they 
were  which  he  spake  unto  them. 

7  Jesus  therefore  said  unto  them  again.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  am  the  door  of  the  sheep.

8  All  that  ever  came  before  me  are  thieves  and  robbers: 
bnt  the  sheep  did  not  hear  them. 

9  "I  am  the  door :  by  me  if  any  man  enter  in,  he  shall  be 
saved,  and  shall  go  in  and  out,  and  find  pasture. 

10  The  thief  cometh  not,  but  for  to  steal,  and  to  kill,  and 
to  destroy:  I  am  come  that  they  might  have  life,  and  that 
they  might  have  it  more  abundantly. 

11  'I  am  the  good  shepherd:  the  good  shepherd  giveth 
Iiis  life  for  the  sheep. 

12  But  he  that  is  a  hireling,  and  not  the  shepherd,  whose 
own  the  sheep  are  not,  seeth  the  wolf  coming,  and  'leaveth 
the  sheep,  and  fleeth ;  and  the  wolf  catcheth  them,  and  scat- 
tereth  the  sheep. 

13  The  hireling  fleeth,  because  he  is  a  hireling,  and  careth 
not  for  the  sheep. 

14  I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and  ''know  my  sheep,  and  am 
known  of  mine. 

15  'As  the  Father  knoweth  me,  even  so  know  I  the 
Father :  ^and  I  lay  down  my  life  for  the  sheep. 

16  And  "other  sheep  I  have,  which  are  not  of  this  fold : 
them  also  I  must  bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my  voice ;  ''and 
there  shall  be  one  fold,  and  one  shepherd. 

17  Therefore  doth  my  Father  love  me,  'because  I  lay  down 
my  life,  that  I  might  take  it  again. 

18  No  man  taketh  it  from  me,  but  I  lay  it  down  of  myself. 
I  have  power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I  *have  power  to  take  it 
again.     'This  commandment  have  I  received  of  my  Father. 

19  ^"There  was  a  division  therefore  again  among  the 
Jews  for  these  sayings. 

20  And  many  of  them  said,  "He  hath  a  devil,  and  is  mad ; 
why  hear  ye  him  ? 

21  Others  said,  These  are  not  the  words  of  him  that  hath 
a  devil.     "Can  a  devil  "open  the  eyes  of  the  blind  ? 

22  ^  And  it  was  at  Je-m'sa-lem  the  feast  of  the  dedication, 
and  it  was  winter. 

23  And  Jesus  walked  in  the  temple  'in  Sol'o-mon's  porch. 

24  Then  came  the  Jews  round  about  him,  and  said  unto 
him,  How  long  dost  thou  1|  make  us  to  doubt?  If  thou  be 
the  Christ,  tell  us  plainly. 

25  Jesus  answered  them,  I  told  you,  and  ye  believed  not :  'the 
works  that  I  do  in  my  Father's  name,  they  bear  witness  of  me. 

26  But  'ye  believe  not,  because  ye  are  not  of  my  sheep,  as 
I  said  unto  you. 

27  "My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I  know  them,  and  they 
follow  me : 

28  And  I  give  unto  them  eternal  life ;  and  ""they  shall  never 
perish,  neither  shall  any  pluck  them  out  of  my  hand. 

29  "My  Father,  'which  gave  them  me,  is  greater  than  all; 
and  none  is  able  to  pluck  them  out  of  my  Father's  hand. 

30  "I  and  my  Father  are  one. 

31  Then  *the  Jews  took  up  stones  again  to  stone  him. 

32  Jesus  answered  them,  Many  good  works  have  I  shewed 
you  from  my  Father ;  for  which  of  those  works  do  ye  stone  me  ? 

33  The  Jews  answered  him,  saying.  For  a  good  work  we 
stone  thee  not;  but  for  bla.sphemy,  and  because  that  thou, 
being  a  man,  'makest  thyself  God. 

34  Jesus  answered  them,  ''Is  it  not  written  in  your  law,  I 
said,  Ye  are  gods? 

35  If  he  called  them  gods,  "unto  whom  the  word  of  God 
came,  and  the  Scripture  cannot  be  broken ; 

36  Say  ye  of  him,  ■'whom  the  Father  hath  sanctified,  and 
"sent  into  the  world,  Thou  blasphemest;  *because  I  said,  I 
am  'the  Son  of  God  ? 

37  *If  I  do  not  the  works  of  my  Father,  believe  me  not. 

38  But  if  I  do,  though  ye  believe  not  me,  'believe  the 
works ;  that  ye  may  know,  and  believe,  "'that  the  Father  is 
in  me,  and  I  in  him. 

39  "Therefore  they  sought  again  to  take  him;  but  he 
escaped  out  of  their  hand,  I 


8 All  that  came  before  me  are  thieves  and  robbers: 

9  but  the  sheep  did  not  hear  them.     I  am  the  door : 

by  me  if  any  man  enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved,  and 

10  shall  go  in  and  go  out,  and  shall  find  pasture.    The 

thief  cometh  not,  but  that  he  may  steal,  and  kill,  and 

destroy :  I  came  that  they  may  have  life,  and  may 

11 'have  it  abundantly.     I  am  the  good  shepherd:   the 

good  shepherd  layeth  down  his  life  for  the  sheep. 

12  He  that  is  a  hireling,  and  not  a  shepherd,  whose 
own  the  sheep  are  not,  beholdeth  the  wolf  com- 
ing, and   leaveth   the   sheep,  and    fleeth,   and   the 

13  wolf  snatcheth  them,  and  scattereth  them:  he 
fleeth  because  he   is  a  hireling,  and  careth  not  for 

14 the  sheep.     I  am  the  good  shepherd;   and  I  know 

15  mine  own,  and  mine  own  know  me,  even  as  the 
Father  knoweth  me,  and  I  know  the  Father ;  and  I 

16  lay  down  my  life  for  the  sheep.  And  other  sheep  I 
have,  which  are  not  of  this  fold :  them  also  I  must 
^bring,  and  they  shall  hear   my  voice ;   and  Hhey 

17  shall  become  one  flock,  one  shepherd.  Therefore 
doth  the  Father  love  me,  because  I  lay  down  my 

18  life,  that  I  may  take  it  again.     No  one  *taketh  it 
away  from  me,  but  I  lay  it  down  of  myself, 
'power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  'power  to  take 
it  again.     This  commandment  received  I  from  my 
Father. 

19  There  arose  a  division  again  among  the  Jews  be- 

20  cause  of  these  words.  And  many  of  them  said,  He 
hath    a  'devil,  and    is    mad;    why    hear    ye    him? 

21  Others  said.  These  are  not  the  sayings  of  one  pos- 
sessed with  a  'devil.  Can  a  fdevil  open  the  eyes  of 
the  blind? 

22  'And  it  was  the  feast  of  the  dedication  at  Je-ru'- 
23sa-lem  :  it  was  winter;  and  Jesus  was  walking  in  the 

24  temple  in  Sol'o-mon's  porch.  The  Jews  therefore 
came  round  about  him,  and  said  unto  him.  How 
long  dost  thou  hold  us  in  su.spense?     If  thou  art 

25  the  Christ,  tell  us  plainly.  Jesus  answered  them,  I 
told  you,  and  ye  believe  not :  the  works  that  I  do  in 

26  my  Father's  name,  these  bear  witness  of  me.     But 

27  ye  believe  not,  because  ye  are  not  of  my  sheep.  My 
sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I  know  them,  and  they  fol- 

28  low  me :  and  I  give  unto  them  eternal  life;  and  they 
shall  never  perish,  and  no  one  shall  snatch  them  out 

29  of  my  band.  *My  Father,  which  hath  given  them 
unto  me,  is  greater  than  all;  and  no  one  is  able  to 

30  snatch  Hhem  out  of  the   Father's  hand.     I  and  the 

31  Father  are  one.     The  Jews  took  up  stones  again  to 

32  stone  him.  Jesus  answered  them.  Many  good  works 
have  I  shewed  you  from  the  Father;  for  which  of 

33 those  works  do  ye  stone  me?  The  Jews  answered 
him.  For  a  good  work  we  stone  thee  not,  but  for 
blasphemy;    and    because   that  thou,  being  a  man, 

34  makest  thyself  God.     Jesus  answered  them,  Is  it  not 

35  written  in  your  law,  I  said.  Ye  are  gods  ?  If  he 
called  them  gods,  unto  whom  the  word  of  God  came 

36  (and  the  scripture  cannot  be  broken),  say  ye  of  him, 
whom  the  Father  '"sanctified  and  sent  into  the  world, 
Thou  blasphemest;  because  I  said,  1  am  the  Son  of 

37  God  ?     If  I  do  not  the  works  of  my  Father,  believe 

38  me  not.  But  if  I  do  them,  though  ye  believe  not 
me,  believe  the  works:  that  ye  may  know  and  un- 
derstand that   the   Father  is   in  me,  and  I  in  the 

39  Father.  They  sought  again  to  take  him :  and  he 
went  forth  out  of  their  Uand.

40  And  went  away  again  beyond  Jor'dan,  into  the  place 
"where  John  at  first  baptized ;  and  there  he  abode. 

41  And  many  resorted  unto  him,  and  said,  John  did  no  mir- 
acle; ''but  all  things  that  John  spake  of  this  man  were  true. 

42  "  knd  many  believed  on  him  there. 

CHAPTER    XI. 

Lazarus  restored  to  life. 

"VTOW  a  certain  man  was  sick,  named  Laz'a-rus,  of  Beth'- 
-Lil    a-ny,  the  town  of  "Ma'ry  and  her  sister  Mar'tha. 

2  (''It  was  that  Ma'ry  which  anointed  the  Lord  with  oint- 
ment, and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair,  whose  brother 
Laz'a-rus  was  sick.) 

3  Therefore  his  sisters  sent  unto  him,  saying,  Lord,  behold, 
he  whom  thou  lovest  is  sick. 

4  When  Jesus  heard  that,  he  said.  This  sickness  is  not 
unto  death,  "but  for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the  Son  of  God 
might  be  glorified  thereby. 

5  Now  Jesus  loved  Mar'tha,  and  her  sister,  and  Laz'a-rus. 

6  When  he  had  heard  therefore  that  he  was  sick,  ''he  abode 
two  days  still  in  the  same  place  where  he  was. 

7  Then  after  that  saith  he  to  his  disciples.  Let  us  go  into 
Ju-de'a  again. 

8  His  disciples  say  unto  him.  Master,  'the  Jews  of  late 
sought  to  stone  thee ;  and  goest  thou  thither  again  ? 

9  Jesus  answered.  Are  there  not  twelve  hours  in  the  day? 
•Tf  any  man  walk  in  the  day,  he  stumbleth  not,  because 
he  seeth  the  light  of  this  world. 

10  But  "if  a  man  walk  in  the  night,  he  stumbleth,  because 
there  is  no  light  in  him. 

11  These  things  said  he:  and  after  that  he  saith  unto  them. 
Our  friend  Laz'a-rus  ''sleepeth ;  but  I  go,  that  I  may  awake 
him  out  of  sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  disciples.  Lord,  if  he  sleep,  he  shall  do  well. 

13  Howbeit  Jesus  spake  of  his  death :  but  they  thought 
that  he  had  spoken  of  taking  of  rest  in  sleep. 

14  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  plainly,  Laz'a-rus  is  dead. 

15  And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes  that  I  was  not  there,  to 
the  intent  ye  may  believe ;  nevertheless  let  us  go  unto  him. 

16  Then  said  Thom'as,  which  is  called  Did'y-mus,  unto  his 
fellow  disciples.  Let  us  also  go,  that  we  may  die  with  him. 

17  Then  when  Jesus  came,  he  found  that  he  had  lain  in 
the  grave  four  days  already. 

18  Now  Beth'a-ny  was  nigh  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ||  about 
fifteen  furlongs  oif : 

19  And  many  of  the  Jews  came  to  Mar'tha  and  Ma'ry,  to 
comfort  them  concerning  their  brother. 

20  Then  Mar'tha,  as  soon  as  she  heard  that  Jesus  was 
coming,  went  and  met  him:  but  Ma'ry  sat  still  in  the  house. 

21  Then  said  Mar'tha  uuto  Jesus,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been 
here,  my  brother  had  not  died. 

22  But  I  know,  that  even  now,  'whatsoever  thou  wilt  ask 
of  God,  God  will  give  it  thee. 

23  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Thy  brother  shall  rise  again. 

24  Mar'tha  saith  unto  him,  'I  know  that  he  shall  rise  again 
in  the  resurrection  at  the  last  day. 

25  Jesus  said  uuto  her,  I  am  'the  resurrection,  and  the  "life : 
"he  thatbelieveth  in  me,  though  he  were  dead,  yet  shall  he  live: 

26  And  whosover  liveth  and  believeth  in  me  shall  never 
die.     Believest  thou  this  ? 

27  She  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord :  "I  believe  that  thou 
art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  which  should  come  into  the 
world. 

28  And  when  she  had  so  said,  she  went  her  way,  and  called 
Ma'ry  her  sister  secretly,  saying,  The  Master  is  come,  and 
calleth  for  thee. 

29  As  soon  as  she  heard  that,  she  arose  quickly,  and  came 
unto  him. 

30  Now  Jesus  was  not  yet  come  into  the  t&wn,  but  wan  in 
that  place  where  Mar'tha  met  him. 


40     And  he  went  away  again  beyond  Jor'dan  into  the 

Elace  where  John  was  at  the  first  baptizing ;  and  there 
e  abode.     And  many  came  unto  him ;  and  they  said, 
John  indeed  did  no  sign :  but  all  things  whatsoever 
42  John  spake  of  this  man  were  true.     And  many  be- 
lieved on  him  there. 

*-*■     Now  a  certain  man  was  sick,  Laz'a-rus  of  Beth'a-ny, 

2  of  the  village  of  Ma'ry  and  her  sister  Mar'tha.  And 
it  was  that  Ma'ry  which  anointed  the  Lord  with 
ointment,  and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair,  whose 

3  brother  Laz'a-rus  was  sick.  The  sisters  therefore 
sent  unto  him,  saying,  Lord,  behold,  he  whom  thou 

4  lovest  is  sick.  But  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  said, 
This  sickness  is  not  unto  death,  but  for  the  glory  of 
God,  that  the  Son  of  God  may  be  glorified  thereby. 

5  Now  Jesus  loved  Mar'tha,  and  her  sister,  and  Laz'a- 

6  rus.  When  therefore  he  heard  that  he  was  sick,  he 
abode  at  that  time  two  days  in  the  place  where  he 

7  was.     Then  after  this  he  saith  to  the  disciples.  Let 

8  us  go  into  Ju-dse'a  again.  The  disciples  say  unto 
him,  Rabbi,  the  Jews  were  but  now  seeking  to  stone 

9 thee;  and  goest  thou  thither  again?  Jesus  an- 
swered. Are  there  not  twelve  hours  in  the  day?  If 
a  man  walk  in   the  day,  he  stumbleth  not,  because 

10  he  seeth  the  light  of  this  world.  But  if  a  man  walk 
in   the   night,  he   stumbleth,   because    the   light   is 

11  not  in  him.  These  things  spake  he:  and  after  this 
he  saith  unto  them.  Our  friend  Laz'a-rus  is  fallen 
asleep;  but  I  go,  that  I  may  awake  him  out  of  sleep. 

12  The  disciples  therefore  said  unto  him.  Lord,  if  he  is 

13  fallen  asleep,  he  will  'recover.  Now  Jesus  had  spoken 
of  his  death :    but  they  thought   that   he  spake  of 

14  taking  rest  in  sleep.     Then  Jesus  therefore  said  unto 

15  them  plainly,  Laz'a-rus  is  dead.  And  I  am  glad  for 
your  sakes  that  I  was  not  there,  to  the  intent  ye  may 

16 believe;  nevertheless  let  us  go  unto  him.  Thom'as 
therefore,  who  is  called  ^Did'y-mus,  said  unto  his 
fellow-disciples.  Let  us  also  go,  that  we  may  die 
with  him. 

17  So  when  Jesus  came,  he  found   that  he  had  been 

18  in  the  tomb  four  days  already.     Now  Beth'a-ny  was 

19  nigh  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  about  fifteen  furlongs  off;  and 
many  of  the  Jews  had  come  to  Mar'tha  and  Ma'ry, 

20  to  console  them  concerning  their  brother.  Mar'tha 
therefore,  when  she  heard  that  Jesus  was  coming, 
went  and  met  him :  but  Ma'ry  still  sat  in  the  house. 

21  Mar'tha  therefore  said  unto  Jesus,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst 

22  been  here,  my  brother  had  not  died.  And  even  now 
I  know  that,  whatsoever  thou  shalt  ask  of  God,  God 

23  will  give  thee.     Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Thy   brother 

24  shall  rise  again.  Mar'tha  saith  unto  him,  I  know 
that  he  shall  rise  again  in  the  resurrection  at  the  last 

25  day.  Jesus  said  uuto  her,  I  am  the  resurrection, 
and  the  life :  he  that  believeth  on  me,  though  he  die, 

26  yet  shall  he  live  :  and  whosoever  liveth  and  believeth 
27 on  me  shall  never  die.     Believest  thou  this?    She 

saith    unto    him.  Yea,  Lord :    I  have  believed  that 
thou   art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  even  he  that 

28  Cometh  into  the  world.  And  when  she  had  said  this, 
she  went  away,  and  called  Ma'ry  'her  sister  secretly, 

29  saying.  The  ^Master  is  here,  and  calleth  thee.  And 
she,  when  she  heard  it,  arose  quickly,  and  went  unto 

30  him.  (Now  Jesus  was  not  yet  come  into  the  village, 
but  was  still  in  the  place  where  Mar'tha  met  him.)  j

31  'The  Jews  then  wbica  were  with  her  in  the  house,  and 
comforted  her,  when  they  saw  Ma'ry,  that  she  rose  up  hastily, 
and  went  out,  followed  her,  saying,  She  goeth  unto  the  grave 
to  weep  there. 

32  Then  when  Ma'ry  was  come  where  Jesus  was,  and  saw 
him,  she  fell  down  at  his  feet,  saying  unto  him,  'Lord,  if 
thou  hadst  been  here,  my  brother  had  not  died. 

33  AVhen  Jesus  therefore  saw  her  weeping,  and  the  Jews 
also  weeping  which  came  with  her,  he  groaned  in  the  spirit, 
and  fwas  troubled, 

34  And  said.  Where  have  ye  laid  him?  They  say  unto 
him.  Lord,  come  and  see. 

35  ""Jesus  wept. 

36  Then  said  the  Jews,  Behold  how  he  loved  him ! 

37  And  some  of  thein  said.  Could  not  this  man,  "which 
opened  the  eyes  of  the  blind,  have  caused  that  even  this 
man  should  not  have  died? 

38  Jesus  therefore  again  groaning  in  himself  cometh  to 
the  grave.     It  was  a  cave,  and  a  stone  lay  upon  it. 

39  Jesus  said.  Take  ye  away  the  stone.  Mar'tba,  the  sister 
of  him  that  was  dead,  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  by  this  time  he 
stinketh ;  for  he  hath  been  dead  four  days. 

40  Jesus  Sfiith  unto  her.  Said  I  not  unto  thee,  that  if  thou 
wouldest  believe,  thou  shouldest  'see  the  glory  of  God? 

41  Then  they  took  away  the  stone  frovi  the  place  where  the 
dead  was  laid.  And  Jesus  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  said.  Father, 
I  thank  thee  that  thou  hast  heard  me. 

42  And  I  knew  that  thou  hearest  me  always :  but  "because 
of  the  people  which  stand  by  I  said  it,  that  they  may  be- 
lieve that  thou  hast  sent  me. 

43  And  when  he  thus  had  spoken,  he  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  Laz'a-rus,  come  forth. 

44  And  he  that  was  dead  came  forth,  bound  hand  and  foot 
with  graveclothes ;  and  ''his  face  was  bound  about  with  a 
napkin.     Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Loose  him,  and  let  him  go. 

45  Then  many  of  the  Jews  which  came  to  Ma'ry,  "and 
had  seen  the  things  which  Jesus  did,  believed  on  him. 

46  But  some  of  them  went  their  ways  to  the  Phar'i-sees, 
and  told  them  what  things  Jesus  had  done. 

47  ^"Then  gathered  the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar'i-sees  a 
council,  and  said,  "What  do  we?  for  this  man  doeth  many 
miracles. 

48  If  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all  men  will  believe  on  him : 
and  the  Ro'mans  shall  come,  and  take  away  both  our  place 
and  nation. 

49  And  one  of  them,  named  *Ca'ia-phas,  being  the  high 
priest  that  same  year,  said  unto  them,  Ye  know  nothing  at  all, 

50  "Nor  consider  that  it  is  expedient  for  us,  that  one  man 
should  die  for  the  people,  and  that  the  whole  nation  perish  not. 

51  And  this  spake  he  not  of  himself:  but  being  high  priest 
that  year,  he  prophesied  that  Jesus  should  die  for  that  nation  ; 

52  And  ''not  for  that  nation  only,  'but  that  also  he  should 
gather  together  in  one  the  children  of  God  that  were  scat- 
tered abroad. 

53  Then  from  that  day  forth  they  took  counsel  together 
for  to  put  him  to  death. 

54  Jesus  -^therefore  walked  no  more  openly  among  the 
Jews;  but  went  thence  unto  a  country  near  to  the  wilderness, 
into  a  city  called  "E'phra-im,  and  there  continued  with  his 
disciples. 

55  ^*And  the  Jews'  passover  was  nigh  at  hand  :  and  many 
went  out  of  the  country  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  before  the  pass- 
over,  to  purify  themselves. 

56  'Then  sought  they  for  Jesus,  and  spake  among  them- 
selves, as  they  stood  in  the  temple,  What  think  ye,  that  he 
will  not  come  to  the  feast? 

57  Now  both  the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar'i-sees  had  given 
a  commandment,  that,  if  any  man  knew  where  he  were,  he 
should  shew  it,  that  they  might  take  him. 


31  The  Jews  then  which  were  with  her  in  the  house, 
and  were  comforting  her,  when  they  saw  Ma'ry, 
that  she  rose  up  quickly  and  went  out,  followed 
her,  supposing  that  she  was  going  unto  the  tomb 

32  to  'weep  there.  Ma'ry,  therefore,  when  she  came 
where  Jesus  was,  and  saw  him,  fell  down  at  his  feet, 
saying  unto   him.  Lord,  if  thou   hadst   been   here, 

33  my  brother  had  not  died.  When  Jesus  therefore 
saw  her  keeping,  and  the  Jews  also  ^weeping  which 
came   with   her,  he  'groaned  in  the  spirit,  Sw.id  *was 

34  troubled,  and  said.  Where  have  ye  laid  him  ?     They 

35  say   unto  him.  Lord,  come  and  see.     Jesus  wept. 

36  The  Jews  therefore  said.  Behold  how  he  loved  him ! 

37  But  some  of  them  said.  Could  not  this  man,  which 
opened  the  eyes  of  him  that  was  blind,  have  caused 

38  that  this  man  also  should  not  die  ?  Jesus  therefore 
again   '^groaning   in    himself  cometh   to   the   tomb. 

39  Now  it  was  a  cave,  and  a  stone  lay  ^against  it.  Jesus 
saith.  Take  ye  away  the  stone.  Mar'tha,  the  sister 
of  him  that  was  dead,  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  by  this 
time  he  stinketh :  for  he  hath  been  dead  four  days. 

40  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Said  I  not  unto  thee,  that  if 
thou  believedst,  thou  shouldest  see  the  glory  of  God  ? 

41  So  they  took  away  the  stone.  And  Jesus  lifted  up 
his  eyes,  and   said.  Father,  I  thank   thee   that  thou 

42  heardest  me.  And  I  knew  that  thou  hearest  me 
always :  but  because  of  the  multitude  which  stand- 
eth  around  I  said  it,  that  they  may  believe  that  thou 

43  didst  send  me.     And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he 

44  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  Laz'a-rus,  come  forth.  He 
that  was  dead  came  forth,  bound  hand  and  foot  with 
'grave-clothes;  and  his  face  Avas  bound  about  with 
a  napkin.  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Loose  him,  and 
let  him  go. 

45  Many  therefore  of  the  Jews,  which  came  to  Ma'ry 
and  beheld  *that   which    he   did,  believed   on   him. 

46  But  some  of  them  went  away  to  the  Phar'i-sees,  and 
told  them  the  things  which  Jesus  had  done.    * 

47  The  chief  priests  therefore  and  the  Phar'i-sees  gath- 
ered a  council,  and  said.  What  do  we?  for  this  man 

48  doeth  many  signs.  If  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all 
men  will  believe  on  him  :  and  the  Ro'mans  will  come 

49  and  take  away  both  our  place  and  our  nation.  But 
a  certain  one  of  them,  Ca'ia-phas,  being  high  priest 
that  year,  said  unto  them,  Ye  know  nothing  at  all, 

50  nor  do  ye  take  account  that  it  is  expedient  for  you 
that  one  man  should  die  for  the  people,  and  that  the 

51  whole  nation  perish  not.  Now  this  he  said  not  of 
himself:  but  being  high  priest  that  year,  he  prophe- 

52sied  that  Jesus  should  die  for  the  nation;  and  not 
for  the  nation  only,  but  that  he  might  also  gather 
together  into  one  the  children  of  God  that  are  scat- 

53tered  abroad.  So  from  that  day  forth  they  took 
counsel  that  they  might  put  him  to  death. 

54  Jesus  therefore  walked  no  more  openly  among 
the  Jews,  but  departed  thence  into  the  country  near 
to  the  wilderness,  into  a  city  called  E'phra-im;  and 

55 there  he  tarried  with  the  disciples.  Now  the  pass- 
over  of  the  Jews  was  at  hand :  and  many  went  up 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem  out  of  the  country  before  the  passover, 

56  to  purify  themselves.  They  sought  therefore  for 
Jesus,  and  spake  one  with  another,  as  they  stood  in 
the  temple.  What  think  ye?     That  he  will  not  come 

57  to  the  iea.st?  Now  the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar'i- 
sees  had  given  commandment,  that,  if  any  man 
knew  where  he  was,  he  should  shew  it,  that  they 
might  take  him.

CHAPTER    XII. 

Mary  anoinitlh  the  feet  of  Jesus. 

THEN  Jesus,  six  days  before  the  passover,  came  to  Beth'- 
a-ny,  "where  Laz'a-rus  was  which  had  been  dead,  whom 
he  raised  from  the  dead. 

2  'There  they  made  him  a  supper;  and  Mar'tha  served: 
but  Laz'a-rus  was  one  of  them  that  sat  at  the  table  with  him. 

3  Then  took  "=Ma'ry  a  pound  of  ointment  of  spikenard,  very 
costly,  and  anointed  the  feet  of  Jesus,  and  wiped  h  is  feet  with  her 
hair:  and  the  house  was  filled  with  the  odour  of  the  ointment. 

4  Then  saith  one  of  his  disciples,  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,  Si'- 
mon's  son,  which  should  betray  him, 

5  Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold  for  three  hundred  pence, 
and  given  to  the  poor? 

6  This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared  for  the  poor ;  but  because  he 
was  a  thief,  and  ''had  the  bag,  and  bare  what  was  put  therein. 

7  Then  said  Jesus,  Let  her  alone:  against  the  day  of  my 
burying  hath  she  kept  this. 

8  For  'the  poor  always  ye  have  with  you ;  but  me  ye  have 
not  always. 

9  Much  people  of  the  Jews  therefore  knew  that  he  was 
there  :  and  they  came,  not  for  Jesus'  sake  only,  but  that  they 
might  see  Laz'a-rus  also,  Avhom  he  had  raised  from  the  dead. 

10  ^"But  the  chief  priests  consulted  that  they  might  put 
Laz'a-rus  also  to  death ; 

11  ''Because  that  by  reason  of  him  many  of  the  Jews  went 
away,  and  believed  on  Jesus. 

12  H'On  the  next  day,  much  people  that  were  come  to  the 
feast,  when  they  heard  that  Jesus  was  coming  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

13  Took  branches  of  palm  trees,  and  went  forth  to  meet 
him,  and  cried,  *Hosanna:  Blessed  is  the  King  of  Is'ra-el 
that  Cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

14  'And  Jesus  when  he  had  found  a  young  ass,  sat  thereon; 
as  it  is  written, 

15  "Fear  not,  daughter  of  Si'on  :  behold  thy  King  cometh, 
sitting  on  an  ass's  colt. 

16  These  things  "understood  not  his  disciples  at  the  first: 
"but  when  Jesus  was  glorified,  ''then  remembered  they  that 
these  things  were  written  of  him,  and  thai  they  had  done 
these  things  unto  him. 

17  The  people  therefore  that  was  with  him  when  hecalled  Laz'- 
a-rus out  of  his  grave,  and  raised  him  from  thedead,  bare  record. 

18  'For  this  cause  the  people  also  met  him,  for  that  they 
heard  that  he  had  done  this  miracle. 

19  The  Phar'i-sees  therefore  said  amongthemselves,''Perceive 
ye  how  ye  prevail  nothing?  behold  the  world  has  gone  after  him . 

20  ^And  there  'were  certain  Greeks  among  them  that 
came  up  to  worship  at  the  feast : 

21  The  same  came  therefore  to  Phil'ip,  "which  was  of  Beth- 
sa'i-da  of  Gal'i-lee,  and  desired  him,  saying.  Sir,  we  would 
see  .Jesus. 

22  Phil'ip  cometh  and  telleth  An'drew :  and  again  An'drew 
and  Phil'ip  tell  Jesus. 

23  IJAnd  Jesus  answered  them  saying,  ^The  hour  is  come, 
that  the  Son  of  man  should  be  glorified. 

24  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  "Except  a  corn  of  wheat 
fall  into  the  ground  and  die,  it  abideth  alone :  but  if  it  die, 
it  bringeth  forth  much  fruit. 

25  "He  that  loveth  his  life  shall  lose  it ;  and  he  that  hateth 
his  life  in  this  world  shall  keep  it  unto  life  eternal. 

26  If  any  man  serve  me,  let  him  follow  me ;  and  "where  I 
am,  there  shall  also  my  servant  be  :  if  any  man  serve  me,  him 
will  my  Father  honour. 

27  ''Nowismy  soul  troubled;  and  what  shall  I  say?  Father, 
save  me  from  this  hour:  "^but  for  this  cause  came  I  unto  this  hour. 

28  Father,  glorify  thy  name.  ''Then  came  there  a  voice  from 
heaven,  saying,  I  have  both  glorified  it,  and  will  glorify  i<  again. 

29  The  people  therefore  that  stood  by,  and  heard  it,  said 
that  it  thundered :  others  said.  An  angel  spake  to  him. 


J-^  Jesus  therefore  six  days  before  tne  passover  came 
to    Beth'a-ny,  where   Laz'a-rus    was,   whom    Jesus 

2  raised  from  the  dead.  So  they  made  him  a  supper 
there :  and  Mar'tha  served ;  but  Laz'a-rus  was  one  of 

3  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him.  Ma'ry  therefore 
took  a  pound  of  ointment  of  'spikenard,  very  pre- 
cious, and  anointed  the  feet  of  Jesus,  and  wiped  his 
feet  with  her  hair:  and  the  house  was  filled  with 

4  the  odour  of  the  ointment.  But  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot, 
one  of  his  disciples,  which  should  betray  him,  saith, 

5  Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold  for  three  hundred 

6  ^pence,  and  given  to  the  poor  ?  Now  this  he  said,  not 
because  he  cared  for  the  poor ;  but  because  he  was  a 
thief,  and  having  the  'bag  Hook  away  what  was  put 

7  therein.     Jesus  therefore  said,  ^Suffer  her  to  keep  it 

8  against  the  day  of  my  burying.  For  the  poor  ye 
have  always  with  you ;  but  me  ye  have  not  always. 

9  The  common  people  therefore  of  the  Jews  learned 
that  he  was  there ;  and  they  came,  not  for  Jesus' 
sake  only,  but  that  they  might  see  Laz'a-rus  also, 

10  whom  he  had  raised  from  the  dead.  But  the  chief 
priests  took  counsel  that  they  might  put  Laz'a-rus 

11  also  to  death;  because  that  by  reason  of  him  many 
of  the  Jews  went  away,  and  believed  on  Jesus. 

12  On  the  morrow  'a  great  multitude  that  had  come 
to  the  feast,  when  they  heard  that  Jesus  was  coming 

13  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  took  the  branches  of  the  palm  trees, 
and  Avent  forth  to  meet  him,  and  cried  out,  Hosanna 
Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord 

14  even  the  King  of  Is'ra-el.     And  Jesus,  having  found 
15a  young  ass,  sat  thereon;  as  it  is  written.  Fear  not, 

daughter  of  Zi'on :  behold,  thy  King  cometh,  sitting 

16  on  an  ass's  colt.  These  things  understood  not  his 
disciples  at  the  first:  but  when  Jesus  was  glorified, 
then  remembered  they  that  these  things  were  writ- 
ten of  him,  and  that  they  had  done  these  things 

17  unto  him.  The  multitude  therefore  that  was  with 
him  when  he  called  Laz'a-rus  out  of  the  tomb,  and 

18  raised  him  from  the  dead,  bare  witness.  For  this 
cause  also  the  multitude  went  and  met  him,  for  that 

19  they  heard  that  he  had  done  this  sign.  The  Phar'i- 
sees  therefore  said  among  themselves,  'Behold  how 
ye  prevail  nothing:  lo,  the  world  is  gone  after,  him. 

20  Now  there  were  certain  Greeks  among  those  that 

21  went  up  to  worship  at  the  feast :  these  therefore 
came  to  Phil'ip,  which  was  of  Beth-sa'i-da  of  Gal'i- 
lee,  and  asked  him,  saying.  Sir,  we  would  see  Jesus. 

22  Phil'ip  cometh  and  telleth  An'drew :  An'drew  cometh, 

23  and  Phil'ip,  and  they  tell  Jesus.  And  Jesus  answer- 
eth  them,  saying,  The  hour  is  come,  that  the  Son 

24  of  man  should  be  glorified.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  Except  a  grain  of  wheat  fall  into  the 
earth  and  die,  it  abideth   by  itself  alone;  but  if  it 

25  die,  it  beareth  much  fruit.  He  that  loveth  his  *life 
loseth  it;  and  he  that  hateth  his  *life  in  this  world 

26  shall  keep  it  unto  life  eternal.  If  any  man  serve  me, 
let  him  follow  me ;  and  where  I  am,  there  shall  also 
my  servant  be :  if  any  man  serve  me,  him  will  the 

27 Father  honour;  Now  is  my  soul  troubled;  and 
what  shall  I  say  ?     Father,  save  me  from  this  'hour. 

28  But  for  this  cause  came  I  unto  this  hour.  Father, 
glorify  thy  name.  There  came  therefore  a  voice 
out   of   heaven,   saying,   I  have    both   glorified    it 

29  and  will  glorify  it  again.  The  multitude  therefore, 
that  stood  by,  and  heard  it,  said  that  it  had  thun- 
dered: others  said,  An  augel   hath  spoken  to  him.

30  Jesus  answered  and  said,  'This  voice  came  not  because 
of  me,  but  for  your  sakes. 

31  Now  is  the  judgment  of  this  world 
prince  of  this  world  be  cast  out. 

32  And  I,  "if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  will  draw  *all 
men  unto  me. 

33  'This  he  said,  signifying  what  death  he  should  die. 

34  The  people  answered  him,  ''We  have  heard  out  of  the 
law  that  Christ  abideth  for  ever:  and  how  sayest  thou, 
The  Son  of  man  must  be  lifted  up?  who  is  this  Son  of 
man? 

35  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Yet  a  little  while  'is  the 
light  with  you.  "Walk  while  ye  have  the  light,  lest  dark- 
ness come  upon  you:  for  "he  that  walketh  in  darkness 
knoweth  not  whither  he  goeth. 

36  While  ye  have  light,  believe  in  the  light,  that  ye  may 
be  "the  children  of  light.  These  things  spake  Jesus,  and 
departed,  and  ^did  hide  himself  from  them. 

37  ^But  though  he  had  done  so  many  miracles  before 
them,  yet  they  believed  not  on  him : 

38  That  the  saying  of  E-sa'ias  the  prophet  might  be  ful- 
filled, which  he  spake,  ?Lord,  who  hath  believed  our  report? 
and  to  whom  hath  the  arm  of  the  Lord  been  revealed  ? 

39  Therefore  they  could  not  believe,  because  that  E-sa'ias 
said  again, 

40  'He  hath  blinded  their  eyes,  and  hardened  their  heart ; 
that  they  should  not  see  with  their  eyes,  nor  understand 
with  their  heart,  and  be  converted,  and  I  should  heal  them. 

41  'These  things  said  E-sa'ias,  when  he  saw  his  glory,  and 
spake  of  him. 

42  *IINevertheless  among  the  chief  rulers  also  many  be- 
lieved on  him ;  but  'because  of  the  Phar'i-sees  they  did  not 
confess  him,  lest  they  should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue : 

43  "For  they  loved  the  praise  of  men  more  than  the  praise 
of  God. 

44  ^Jesus  cried  and  said,  ''He  that  believeth  on  me,  be- 
lieveth  not  on  me,  but  on  him  that  sent  me. 

45  And  he  "that  seeth  me  seeth  him  that  sent  me. 

46  'I  am  come  a  light  into  the  world,  that  whosoever  be- 
lieveth on  me  should  not  abide  in  darkness. 

47  And  if  any  man  hear  my  words,  and  believe  not,  "I 
judge  him  not :  for  ''I  came  not  to  judge  the  world,  but  to 
save  the  world. 

48  ""He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  receiveth  not  my  words, 
hath  one  that  judgeth  him:  ''the  word  that  I  have  spoken, 
the  same  shall  judge  him  in  the  last  day. 

49  For  "I  have  not  spoken  of  myself;  but  the  Father 
which  sent  me,  he  gave  me  a  commandment,  'what  I  should 
say,  and  what  I  should  speak. 

50  And  I  know  that  his  commandment  is  life  everlasting : 
whatsoever  I  speak  therefore,  even  as  the  Father  said  unto 
me,  so  I  speak. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

Jesus  washeth  his  disciples*  feet. 

"VTOW  "before  the  feast  of  the  passover,  when  Jesus  knew 
-i-'  that  ''his  hour  was  come  that  he  should  depart  out  of 
this  world  unto  the  Father,  having  loved  his  own  which  were 
in  the  world,  he  loved  them  unto  the  end. 

2  And  supper  being  ended,  "the  devil  having  now  put  into 
the  heart  of  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,  Si'mon's  Hon,  to  betray  him; 

3  Jesus  knowing  ''that  the  Father  had  given  all  things  into 
his  hands,  and  'that  he  was  come  from  God,  and  went  to  God  ; 

4  ■'He  riseth  from  supper,  and  laid  aside  his  garments;  and 
took  a  towel,  and  girded  himself. 

5  After  that,  he  poureth  water  into  a  basin,  and  began  to 
wash  the  disciples'  feet,  and  to  wipe  them  with  the  towel 
wherewith  he  was  girded. 

6  Then  cometh  he  to  Si'mon  Pe'ter :  and  fPe'ter  saith  unto 
him.  Lord,  "dost  thou  wash  my  feet? 


30  Jesus  answered  and  said.  This  voice  hath  not  come 

31  for  my  sake,  but  for  your  sakes.  Now  is  'the  judge- 
ment of  this   world :    now  shall  the  prince  of  this 

32  world  be  cast  out.     And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  ^from  the 

33  earth,  will  draw  all  men  unto  myself  But  this  he 
said,  signifying  by  what  manner  of  death  he  should 

34  die.  The  multitude  therefore  answered  him.  We 
have  heard  out  of  the  law  that  the  Christ  abideth  for 
ever:    and   how  sayest  thou.  The  Son  of  man  must 

35  be  lifted  up?  who  is  this  Son  of  man?  Jesus  there- 
fore said  unto  them,  Yet  a  little  while  is  the  light 
'among  you.  M'^alk  while  ye  have  the  light,  that 
darkness  overtake  you  not:  and  he  that  walk- 
eth in  the  darkness  knoweth  not  .whither  he  goeth. 

36  While  ye  have  the  light,  believe  on  the  light,  that 
ye  may  become  sons  of  light. 

These  things  spake  Jesus,  and   he   departed  and 

37  *hid  himself  from  them.  But  though  he  had  done 
so  many  signs  before  them,  yet  they  believed  not 

38 on  him:  that  the  word  of  I-sa'iah  the  prophet  might 
be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake, 
Lord,  who  hath  believed  our  report? 
And  to  whom  hath  the  arm  ofthe  Lord  been  revealed? 

39  For  this  cause  they  could  not  believe,  for  that  I-sa'iah 
said  again, 

40  He  hath  blinded  their  eyes,  and  he  hardened  their 

heart ; 
Lest  they  should  see  with  their  eyes,  and  perceive 

with  their  heart, 
And  should  turn, 
And  I  should  heal  them. 

41  The.se  things  said  I-sa'iah,  because  he  saw  his  glory ; 

42  and  he  spake  of  him.  Nevertheless  even  of  the 
rulers  many  believed  on  him ;  but  because  of  the 
Phar'i-sees  they  did  not  confess  Hi,  lest  they  should 

43  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue :  for  they  loved  the 
glory  of  men  more  than  the  glory  of  God. 

44  And  Jesus  cried  and  said,  He  that  believeth  on 
me,  believeth  not  on  me,  but  on  him  that  sent  me.* 

45  And  he  that  beholdeth  me  beholdeth   him  that  sent 

46  me.  I  am  come  a  light  into  the  world,  that  who- 
soever believeth  on  me  may  not  abide  in  the  dark- 

47ness.  And  if  any  man  hear  my  sayings,  and  keep 
them  not,  I  judge  him  not:  for  I  came  not  to  judge 

48  the  world,  but  to  save  the  world.  He  that  rejecteth 
me,  and  receiveth  not  my  sayings,  hath  one  that 
judgeth  him:    the  word  that  I  spake,  the  same  shall 

49jiKlge  him  in  the  last  day.  For  I  spake  not  from  my- 
self; but  the  Father  which  sent  me,  he  hath  given 
me  a  commandment,  what  I  should  say,  and  what  I 

50  should  speak.  And  I  know  that  Us  commandment 
is  life  eternal :  the  things  therefore  which  I  speak, 
even  as  the  Father  hath  said  unto  me,  so  I  speak. 

lO  Now  before  the  feast  of  the  passover,  Jesus  know- 
ing that  his  hour  was  come  that  he  should  depart 
out  of  this  world  unto  the  Father,  having  loved  his 
own  which  were  in  the  world,  he  loved  them  'unto 

2  the  end.  And  during  supper,  the  devil  having  al- 
ready put  into  the  heart  of  Ju'das  Is-car'i-ot,  Si'mon's 

3  son,  to  betray  him,  Jesus,  knowing  that  the  Father 
had  given  all  things   into   his  hands,  and  that  he 

4  came  forth  from  God,  and  goeth  unto  God,  riseth 
from  supper,  and  layeth  aside  his  garments;  and  he 

6  took  a  towel,  and  girded  himself.  Then  he  poureth 
water  into  the  bason,  and  began  to  wash  the  disci- 
ples' feet,  and  to  wipe  them  with  the  towel  where- 

6  with  he  was  girded.  So  he  cometh  to  Si'mon  Pe'ter. 
He  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  dost  thou  wash  my  feet?

7  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  What  I  do  then 
knowest  not  now ;  *but  thou  shalt  know  hereafter. 

8  Pe'ter  saith  unto  him,  Thou  shalt  never  wash  my  feet.  Jesus 
answered  him,  'If  I  wash  thee  not,  thou  hast  no  part  with  me. 

9  Si'mon  Pe'ter  .said  unto  him.  Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but 
also  my  hands  and  my  head. 

10  Jesus  saith  to  him.  He  that  is  washed  needeth  not 
save  to  wash  his  feet,  but  is  clean  every  whit :  and  *ye  are 
clean,  but  not  all. 

11  For  'he  knew  who  should  betray  him;  therefore  said 
he.  Ye  are  not  all  clean. 

12  So  after  he  had  washed  their  feet,  and  had  taken  his 
garments,  and  was  set  down  again,  he  said  unto  them,  Know 
ye  what  I  have  done  to  you  ? 

13  "'Ye  call  me  Master  and  Lord:  and  ye  say  well;  for  «o  lam. 

14  "If  I  then,  your  Lord  and  Master,  have  washed  your 
feet ;  "ye  also  ought  to  wash  one  another's  feet. 

15  For  "I  have  given  you  an  example,  that  ye  should  do 
as  I  have  done  to  you. 

16  'Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  The  servant  is  not 
greater  than  his  lord;  neither  he  that  is  sent  greater  than 
he  that  sent  him. 

17  'If  ye  know  these  things,  happy  are  ye  if  ye  do  them. 

18  T[I  speak  not  of  you  all :  I  know  whom  I  have  chosen  : 
but  that  the  Scripture  may  be  fulfilled,  'He  that  eateth  bread 
with  me  hath  lifted  up  his  heel  against  me. 

19  'II  Now  I  tell  you  before  it  come,  that,  when  it  is  come 
to  pass,  ye  may  believe  that  I  am  he. 

20  "Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that  receiveth 
whomsoever  I  send  receiveth  me;  and  he  that  receiveth 
me  receiveth  him  that  sent  me. 

21  ""When  Jesus  had  thus  said,  "he  was  troubled  in  spirit, 
and  testified,  and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that 
"one  of  you  shall  betray  me. 

22  Then  the  disciples  looked  one  on  another,  doubting  of 
whom  he  spake. 

23  Now  "there  was  leaning  on  Jesus'  bosom  one  of  his 
disciples,  whom  Jesus  loved. 

24  Si'mon  Pe'ter  therefore  beckoned  to  him,  that  he  should 
ask  who  it  should  be  of  whom  he  spake. 

25  He  then  lying  on  Jesus'  breast  saith  unto  him,  Lord, 
who  is  it? 

26  Jesus  answered,  He  it  is,  to  whom  I  shall  give  a  Hsop, 
when  I  have  dipped  it.  And  when  he  had  dipped  the  sop, 
he  gave  it  to  Ju'das  Is-car'1-ot,  the  son  of  Si'mon. 

27  'And  after  the  sop  Sa'tan  entered  into  him.  Then  said 
Jesus  unto  him,  That  thou  doest,  do  quickly. 

28  Now  no  man  at  the  table  knew  for  what  intent  he  spake 
this  unto  him. 

29  For  some  of  them  thought,  because  "Ju'das  had  the  bag, 
that  Jesus  had  said  unto  him.  Buy  those  things  that  we  have 
need  of  against  the  feast ;  or,  that  he  should  give  something 
to  the  poor. 

30  He  then,  having  received  the  sop,  went  immediately 
out;  and  it  was  night. 

31  ^Therefore,  when  he  was  gone  out,  Jesus  said,  ''Now 
is  the  Son  of  man  glorified,  and  'God  is  glorified  in  him. 

32  -^If  God  be  glorified  in  him,  God  shall  also  glorify  him 
in  himself,  and  "shall  straightway  glorify  him. 

33  Little  children,  yet  a  little  while  I  am  with  you.  Ye 
shall  seek  me ;  ''and  as  I  said  unto  the  Jews,  Whither  I  go, 
ye  can  not  come ;  so  now  I  say  to  you. 

34  'A  new  commandment  I  give  unto  you.  That  ye  love  one 
another;  as  I  have  loved  you,  that  ye  also  love  one  another. 

35  *By  this  shall  all  men  know  that  ye  are  my  disciples,  if 
ye  have  love  one  to  another. 

36  ^Si'mon  Pe'ter  said  unto  him,  Lord,  whither  goest 
thou?  Jesus  answered  him.  Whither  I  go,  thou  canst  not 
follow  me  now ;  but  'thou  shalt  follow  me  afterwards. 


7  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  What  I  do  thou 
knowest  not  now ;  but  thou  shalt  understand  here- 

8  after.     Pe'ter  saith  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  never  wash 
my  feet.     Jesus  answered  him.  If  I  wash  thee  not, 

9  thou  hast  no  part  with  me.     Si'mon  Pe'ter  saith  unto 
him.  Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but  also  my  hands  and 

10  my  head.  Jesus  saith  to  him,  He  that  is  bathed 
needeth  not  'save  to  wash  his  feet,  but  is  clean  every 

11  whit:  and  ye  are  clean,  but  not  all.  For  he  knev.' 
him  that  should  betray  him ;  therefore  said  he,  Ye 
are  not  all  clean. 

12  So  when  he  had  washed  their  feet,  and  taken  his 
garments,  and  'sat  down  again,  he  said  unto  them, 

13  Know  ye  what  I  have  done  to  yotf?  Ye  call  me, 
'Master,  and.  Lord :  and  ye  say  well ;  for  so  I  am. 

14  If  I  then,  the  Lord  and  the  'Master,  have  washed 
your  feet,  ye  also  ought  to  wash  one  another's  feet. 

15  For  I  have  given  you  an  example,  that  ye  also  should 

16  do  as  I  have  done  to  you.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  A  ^servant  is  not  greater  than  his  lord ;  neither 

17  "one  that  is  sent  greater  than  he  that  sent  him.  If 
ye  know  these  things,  blessed  are  ye  if  ye  do  them. 

181  speak  not  of  you  all :  I  know  whom  I  'have  chosen : 
but  that  the  scripture  may  be  fulfilled.  He  that  eateth 

19 'ray  bread  lifted  up  his  heel  against  me.  From 
henceforth  I  tell  you  before  it  come  to  pass,  that, 
when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  may  believe  that  ''I  am 

20  he.     Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that  receiveth 
whomsoever  I  send  receiveth   me ;  and  he  that  re 
ceiveth  me  receiveth  him  that  sent  me. 

21  When  Jesus  had  thus  said,  he  was  troubled  in  the 
spirit,  and  testified,  and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 

22  you,  that  one  of  you  shall  betray  me.  The  disciples 
looked  one  on  another,  doubting  of  whom  he  spake 

23  There  was  at  the  table  reclining  in  Jesus' bosom  one 

24  of  his  disciples,  whom  Jesus  loved.  Si'mon  Pe'ter 
therefore  beckoneth  to  him,  and  saith  unto  him,  Tell 

25  us  who  it  is  of  whom  he  speaketh.  He  leaning  back, 
as  he  was,  on  Jesus'  breast  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  who 

26  is  it  ?  Jesus  therefore  answereth.  He  it  is,  for  whom 
I  shall  dip  the  sop,  and  give  it  him.  So  when  he  had 
dipped  the  sop,  he  taketh  and  giveth  it  to  Ju'das,  the 

27  son  of  Si'mon  Is-car'i-ot.     And  after  the  sop,  then  en 
tered  Sa'tan  into  him.    Jesus  therefore  saith  unto  him, 

28  That  thou  doest,  do  quickly.  Now  no  man  at  the 
table  knew  for  what  intent  he  spake  this  unto  him, 

29  For  some  thought,  because  Ju'das  had  the  'bag,  that 
Jesus  said  unto  him,  Buy  what  things  we  have  need 
of  for  the  feast ;  or,  that  he  should  give  something 

30  to  the  poor.  He  then  having  received  the  sop  went 
out  straightway:  and  it  was  night. 

31  When  therefore  he  was  gone  out,  Jesus  saith.  Now 
'"is  the  Son  of  man  glorified,  and  God  '"is  glorified 

32  in  him ;  and  God  shall  glorify  him  in  himself,  and 

33  straightway  shall  he  glorify  him.  Little  children. 
Yet  a  little  while  I  am  with  you.  Ye  shall  seek  me : 
and  as  I  said  unto  the  Jews,  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot 

34  come ;  so  now  I  say  unto  you.  A  new  command- 
ment I  give  unto  you,  that  ye  love  one  another; 
"even  as  I  have  loved  you,  that  ye  also  love  one  an- 

35  other.  By  this  shall  all  men  know  that  ye  are  my 
disciples,  if  ye  have  love  one  to  another. 

36  Si'mon  Pe'ter  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  whither  goest 
thou  ?  Jesus  answered.  Whither  I  go,  thou  canst  not 
follow  me  now;  but  tiiou  shalt  follow  afterwards.

Christ  cnm/orteth  his  disciples^ 

LET  "not  your  heart  be  troubled :  ye  believe  in  God,  be- 
lieve also  in  me. 

2  In  my  Father's  house  are  many  mansions:  if  t<  were  not 
so,  I  would  have  told  you.    ''I  go  to  prepare  a  place  for  you. 

3  And  if  I  go  and  prepare  a  place  for  you,  "I  will  come 
again,  and  receive  you  unto  myself;  that  ''where  I  am,  there 
ye  may  be  also. 

4  And  whither  I  go  ye  know,  and  the  way  ye  know. 

5  Thom'as  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  we  know  not  whither 
thou  goest;  and  how  can  we  know  the  way? 

6  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  am  'the  way,  and  ■'the  truth,  and 
"the  life :  *no  man  cometh  unto  the  Father,  but  by  me. 

7  'If  ye  had  known  me,  ye  should  have  known  my  Father 
also :  and  from  henceforth  ye  know  him,  and  have  seen  him, 

8  Phil'ip  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  shew  us  the  Father,  and  it 
sufficeth  us.  * 

9  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Have  I  been  so  long  time  with  you, 
and  yet  hast  thou  not  known  me,  Phil'ip  ?  *he  that  hath  seen 
me,  hath  seen  the  Father;  and  how  say  est  thou  then.  Shew 
us  the  Father? 

1 0  Believest  thou  not  that  1  am  in  the  Father,and  the  Father 
in  me  ?  the  words  that  I  speak  unto  you  "'I  speak  not  of  my- 
self: but  the  Father  that  dwelleth  in  me,  he  doeth  the  works. 

11  Believe  me  that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and  the  Father  in 
me:  "or  else  believe  me  for  the  very  works'  sake. 

12  "Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that  believeth  on 
me,  the  works  that  I  do  shall  he  do  also;  and  greater worfe 
than  these  shall  he  do;  because  I  go  unto  my  Father. 

13  "And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name,  that  will  I 
do,  that  the  Father  may  be  glorified  in  the  Son, 

14  If  ye  shall  ask  any  thing  in  my  name,  I  will  do  it, 

15  ^'If  ye  love  me,  keep  my  commandments. 

16  And  I  will  pray  the  Father,  and  'he  shall  give  you 
another  Comforter,  that  he  may  abide  with  you  for  ever; 

17  Even  'the  Spirit  of  truth;  'whom  the  world  cannot  re- 
ceive, because  it  seeth  him  not,  neither  knoweth  him :  but 
ye  know  him;  for  he  dwelleth  with  you,  "and  shall  be  in  you. 

18  *I  will  not  leave  you  |I comfortless:  "I  will  come  to  you. 

19  Yet  a  little  while,  and  the  world  seeth  me  no  more; 
but  'ye  see  me:  "because  I  live,  ye  shall  live  also. 

20  At  that  day  ye  shall  know  that  'I  am,  in  my  Father, 
and  ye  in  me,  and  I  in  you. 

21  •'He  that  hath  my  commandments,  and  keepeth  them,  he 
itisthatloveth  me:  and  he  that  loveth  me,  shall  be  loved  of  my 
Father,  and  I  will  love  him,  and  will  manifest  myself  to  him. 

22  ""Ju'das  saith  untohim,  not  Is-car'i-ot,  Lord,  how  is  it  that 
thou  wilt  manifest  thyself  unto  us,  and  not  unto  the  world? 

23  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  'If  a  man  love  me, 
he  will  keep  my  words:  and  my  Father  will  love  him.^aiid 
we  will  come  unto  him,  and  make  our  abode  with  him. 

24  He  that  loveth  me  not  keepeth  not  my  sayings :  and  "the 
word  which  ye  hear  is  not  mine,butthe  Father'swhich  sentme. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  being  yet  present 
with  you. 

26  But  *the  Comforter,  which  is  the  Holy  Ghost,  whom 
the  Father  will  send  in  my  name,  'he  shall  teach  you  all 
things,  and  bring  all  things  to  your  remembrance,  whatso- 
;ver  I  have  said  unto  yD'.i. 

27  *Peace  I  leave  with  you,  my  peace  I  give  unto  you :  not 
as  the  world  giveth,  give  I  unto  you.  'Let  not  your  heart 
be  troubled,  neither  let  .'^  "je  afraid. 


37  Pe'ter  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  why  cannot  I  follow  thee 

38  even  now  ?  I  will  lay  down  my  life  for  thee.  Jesus 
answereth,  Wilt  thou  lay  down  thy  life  for  me? 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee.  The  cock  shall  not 


crow,  till  thou  hast  denied  me  thrice. 


I^   Let  not  your  heart  be  troubled :  'ye  believe  in  God, 

2  believe  also  in  me.  In  my  Father's  house  are  many 
^mansions ;  if  it  were  not  so,  t  would  have  told  you ; 

3  for  I  go  to  prepare  a  place  for  you.  And  if  I  go  and 
prepare  a  place  for  you,  I  come  again,  and  will  re- 
ceive you   unto  myself;  that  where   I  am,  there  ye 

4  may  be  also.     'And  whither  I  go,  ye  know  the  way. 

5  Thom'as  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  we  know  not  whither 
6 thou  goest;   how  know  we  the  way?    Jesus  saith 

unto  him,  I  am  the  way,  and  the  truth,  and  the  life : 

7  no  one  cometh  unto  the  Father,  but  *by  me.  If  ye 
had  known  me,  ye  would  have  known  my  Father  also : 
from  henceforth  ye  know  him,  and  have  seen  him. 

8  Phil'ip  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  shew  us  the  Father,  and 

9  it  sufficeth  us.  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Have  I  been 
so  long  time  with  you,  and  dost  thou  not  know  me, 
Phil'ip  ?  he  that  hath  seen  me  hath  seen  the  Father ; 

10 how  sayest  thou.  Shew  us  the  Father?  Believest 
thou  not  that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and  the  Father  in 
me  ?  the  words  that  I  say  unto  you  I  speak  not  from 
myself:  but  the  Father  abiding  in  me  doeth  his  works 

11  Believe  me  that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and  the  Father 
in  me :  or  else  believe  me  for  the  very  works'  sake. 

12  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that  believeth  on 
me,  the  works  that  I  do  shall  he  do  also ;  and  greater 
works  than  these  shall  he  do ;  because  I  go  unto  the 

13  Father.  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name, 
that  will  I  do,  that  the  Father  may  be  glorified  in  the 

14  Son.     If  ye  shall  ask  'me  anything  in  my  name,  that 

15  will  I  do.     If  ye  love  me,  ye  will  keep  my  command- 

16  meuts.  And  I  will  ^pray  the  Father,  and  he  shall  give 
you  another  'Comforter,  that  he  may  be  with  you  for 

17  ever,  even  the  Spirit  of  truth:  whom  the  world  can- 
not receive  ;  for  it  beholdeth  him  not,  neither  knoweth 
him :  ye    know  him ;  for  he  abideth  with  you,  and 

18 shall  be  in  you.     I  will   not  leave  you  'desolate:  I 

19  come  unto  you.  Yet  a  little  while,  and  the  world 
beholdeth  me  no  more ;  but  ye  behold  me :  because 

20  I  live,  'ye  shall  live  also.  In  that  day  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  in  my  Father,  and  ye  in  me,  and  I  in  you. 

21  He  that  hath  my  commandments,  and  keepeth  them, 
he  it  is  that  loveth  me :  and  he  that  loveth  me  shall 
be  loved  of  my  Father,  and  I  will  love  him,  and  will 

22  manifest  myself  unto  him.  Ju'das  (not  Is-car'i-ot)  saith 
unto  him.  Lord,  what  is  come  to  pass  that  thou  wilt 
manifest   thyself  unto  us,  and  not  unto  the  world? 

23  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  If  a  man  love  me, 
he  will  keep  my  word :  and  my  Father  will  love  him, 
and   we  will  come  unto  him,  and  make   our  abode 

24  with  him.  He  that  loveth  me  not  keepeth  not  my 
words:  and  the  word  which  ye  hear  is  not  mine, 
but  the  Father's  who  sent  me. 

25  These  things  have   I  spoken  unto  you,  while  yet 

26  abiding  with  you.  But  the  'Comforter,  et;e7i  the 
Holy  Spirit,  whom  the  Father  will  send  in  my 
name,  he  shall  teach  you  all  things,  and  bring 
to   your   remembrance    all    that    I    said    unto   you. 

27  Peace  I  leave  with  you ;  my  peace  I  give  unto  you : 
not  as  the  world  giveth,  give  I  unto  you.  Let 
not  your  heart  be  troubled  neither  let  it  be  fearful.!

28  Ye  have  heard  how  "I  said  unto  you,  I  go  away,  and  come 
again  unto  you.  Ifye  loved  me,  ye  would  rejoice,  because  I 
said,  "I  go  unto  the  Father :  for  °my  Father  is  greater  than  I. 

29  And  "now  I  have  told  you  before  it  come  to  pass,  that, 
when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  might  believe. 

30  Hereafter  I  will  not  talk  much  with  you:  'for  the 
prince  of  this  world  cometh,  and  hath  nothing  in  me. 

31  But  that  the  world  may  know  that  I  love  the  Father ;  and 
"■as  the  Father  gave  me  commandment,  even  so  I  do.  ■  Arise, 
let  us  go  hence. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

The  union  between  Christ  and  his  church. 

I  AM  the  true  vine,  and  my  Father  is  the  husbandman. 
2  "Every  branch  in  me  that  beareth  not  fruit  he  taketh 
away :  and  every  branch  that  beareth  fruit,  he  purge th  it, 
that  it  may  bring  forth  more  fruit. 

3  ''Now  ye  are  clean  through  the  word  which  I  have 
spoken  unto  you. 

4  "Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As  the  branch  cannot  bear 
fruit  of  itself,  except  it  abide  in  the  vine ;  no  more  can  ye, 
except  ye  abide  in  me. 

5  I  am  the  vine,  ye  are  the  branches.  He  that  abideth  in 
me,  and  I  in  him,  the  same  bringeth  forth  much  ''fruit;  for 
II  without  me  ye  can  do  nothing. 

6  If  a  man  abide  not  in  me,  'he  is  cast  forth  as  a  branch, 
and  is  withered ;  and  men  gather  them,  and  cast  them  into 
the  fire,  and  they  are  burned. 

7  If  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my  words  abide  in  you,  ■'ye  shall 
ask  what  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you. 

8  'Herein  is  my  Father  glorified,  that  ye  bare  much  fruit ; 
*80  shall  ye  be  my  disciples. 

9  As  the  Father  hath  loved  me,  so  have  I  loved  you :  con- 
tinue ye  in  my  love. 

10  'If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye  shall  abide  in  my 
love ;  even  as  I  have  kept  my  Father's  commandments,  and 
abide  in  his  love. 

11  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  my  joy 
might  remain  in  you,  and  Hhat  your  joy  might  be  full. 

12  'This  is  my  commandment.  That  ye  love  one  another, 
as  I  have  loved  you. 

13  "Greater  love  hath  no  man  than  this,  that  a  man  lay 
down  his  life  for  his  friends. 

14  "Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do  whatsoever  I  command  you. 

15  Henceforth  I  call  you  not  servants;  for  the  servant 
knoweth  not  what  his  lord  doeth:  but  I  have  called  you 
friends ;  "for  all  things  that  I  have  heard  of  my  Father  I  have 
made  known  unto  you. 

16  "Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you,  and 
'ordained  you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth  fruit,  and 
<Aa<  your  fruit  should  remain ;  that  'whatsoever  ye  shall  ask 
of  the  Father  in  my  name,  he  may  give  it  you. 

17  'These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye  love  one  another. 

18  'If  the  world  hate  you,  ye  know  that  it  hated  me  be- 
fore it  hated  you. 

19  "If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the  world  would  love  his  own ; 
but  ^because  ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I  have  chosen  you 
out  of  the  world,  therefore  the  world  hateth  you. 

20  Remember  the  word  that  I  said  unto  you,  "The  servant 
is  not  greater  than  his  lord.  If  they  have  persecuted  me, 
they  will  also  persecute  you ;  'if  they  have  kept  my  saying, 
they  will  keep  yours  also. 

21  But  "all  these  things  will  they  do  unto  you  for  my 
name's  sake,  because  they  know  not  him  that  sent  me. 

22  *If  I  had  not  come  and  spoken  unto  them,  they  had  not 
had  sin  ;  "^but  now  they  have  no  ||cloak  for  their  sin. 

23  ''He  that  hateth  me  hateth  my  Father  also. 

24  If  I  had  not  done  among  them  «the  works  which  none 
other  man  did,  they  had  not  had  sin :  but  now  have  they 
both  seen  and  hated  both  me  and  my  Father. 


28  Ye  heard  how  I  said  to  you,  I  go  away,  and  I  come 
unto  you.  If  ye  loved  me,  ye  would  have  rejoiced, 
because  I  go  unto  the   Father:    for  the  Father  is 

29  greater  than  I.  And  now  I  have  told  you  before  it 
come  to  pass,  that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  may 

30 believe.  I  will  no  more  speak  much  with  you,  for 
the  prince  of  the  world  cometh :  and  he  hath  nothing 

31  in  me;  but  that  the  world  may  know  that  I  love  the 
Father,  and  as  the  Father  gave  me  commandment, 
even  so  I  do.     Arise,  let  us  go  hence. 

i-0     I  am  the  true  vine,  and  my  Father  is  the  husband- 

2  man.  Every  branch  in  me  that  beareth  not  fruit, 
he  taketh  it  away :  and  every  branch  that  beareth 
fruit,  he  cleanseth  it,  that  it   may  bear  more  fruit. 

3  Already  ye  are  clean  because  of  the  word  which  I 

4  have  spoken  unto  you.  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you. 
As  the  branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself,  except  it 
abide  in  the  vine ;  so  neither  can  ye,  except  ye  abide 

5  in  me.  I  am  the  vine,  ye  are  the  branches :  He  that 
abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him,  the  same  beareth  much 

6  fruit :  for  apart  from  me  ye  can  do  nothing.  If  a 
man  abide  not  in  me,  he  is  cast  forth  as  a  branch, 
and  is  withered ;   and  they  gather  them,  and  cast 

7  them  into  the  fire,  and  they  are  burned.  If  ye  abide 
in  me,  and  my  words  abide  in  you,  ask  whatsoever 

8  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you.  Herein  'is 
my  Father  glorified,  Hhat  ye  bear  much  fruit ;  and  sc 

9  shall  ye  be  my  disciples.  Even  as  the  Father  hath 
loved  me,  I  also  have  loved  you :   abide  ye  in  my 

10  love.  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye  shall  abide 
in  my  love ;  even  as  I  have  kept  my  Father's  com- 

llmandments,  and  abide  in  his  love.  These  things 
have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  my  joy  may  be  in  you, 

12 and  that  your  joy  may  be  fulfilled.  This  is  my  com- 
mandment, that  ye  love  one  another,  even  as  I  have 

13  loved  you.     Greater  love  hath  no   man  than  this, 

14  that  a  man  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friends.  Y"  are 
my  friends,  if  ye  do  the  things  which  I  command 

15 you.  No  longer  do  I  call  you  'servants;  for  the 
^servant  knoweth  not  what  his  lord  doeth :  but  I 
have  called  you  friends;  for  all  things  that  I  heard 

16  from  my  Father  I  have  made  known  unto  you.  Ye 
did  not  choose  me,  but  I  chose  you,  and  appelated 
you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bear  fruit,  and  that  your 
fruit  should  abide ;  that  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask 
of  the   Father   in   my  name,   he   may   give  it  you. 

17  These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye  may  love  one 

18  another.     If  the  world  hateth  you,  ^ye  know  that  i.; 

19  hath  hated  me  before  it  hated  you.  If  ye  were  of  the 
world,  the  world  would  love  its  own :  but  because 
ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I  chose  you  out  of  the 

20  world,  therefore  the  world  hateth  you.  Remember 
the  word  that  I  said  unto  you,  A  ^servant  is  not 
greater  than  his  lord.  If  they  persecuted  me,  they 
will  also  persecute  you  ;  if  they  kept  my  word,  they 

21  will  keep  yours  also.  But  all  these  things  will  they 
do  unto  you  for  my  name's  sake,  because  they  know 

22  not  him  that  sent  me.  If  I  had  not  come  and  spoken 
unto  them,  they  had  not  had  sin :  but  now  they  have 

23  no  excuse  for  their  sin.     He  that  hateth  me  hateth  my 

24  Father  also.  If  I  had  not  done  among  them  the  works 
which  none  other  did,  they  had  not  had  sin :  but  now 
have  they  both  seen  and  hated  both  me  and  my  Father.

25  But  this  Cometh  to  pass,  that  the  word  might  be  ful- 
filled that  is  written  in  their  law,  -^They  hated  me  without  a 
cause. 

26  "But  when  the  Comforter  is  come,  whom  I  will  send 
unto  you  from  the  Father,  even  the  Spirit  of  truth,  which 
proceedeth  from  the  Father,  ''he  shall  testify  of  me  : 

27  And  'ye  also  shall  bear  witness,  because  *ye  have  been 
with  me  from  the  beginning. 

CHAPTER    XVI. 

The  Holy  Ghost  promised, 

^PHESE  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  ye  "should 
J-    not  be  offended. 

2  'They  shall  put  you  out  of  the  synagogues:  yea,  the 
time  coraeth,  "that  whosoever  killeth  you  will  think  that  he 
doeth  God  service. 

3  And  ''these  things  will  they  do  unto  you,  because  they 
have  not  known  the  Father,  nor  me. 

4  But  'these  things  have  I  told  you,  that  when  the  time 
shall  come,  ye  may  remember  that  I  told  you  of  them.  And 
■'^these  things  I  said  not  unto  you  at  the  beginning,  because  I 
was  with  you. 

5  But  now  "I  go  my  way  to  him  that  sent  me ;  and  none 
of  you  asketh  me,  Whither  goest  thou  ? 

6  But  because  I  have  said  these  things  unto  you,  *sorrow 
hath  filled  your  heart. 

7  Nevertheless  I  tell  you  the  truth ;  It  is  expedient  for  you 
that  I  go  away :  for  if  I  go  not  away,  *the  Comforter  will  not 
come  unto  you ;  but  'if  I  depart,  I  will  send  him  unto  you; 

8  And  when  he  is  come,  he  will  ||  reprove  the  world  of  sin, 
and  of  righteousness,  and  of  judgment: 

9  'Of  sin,  because  they  believe  not  on  me  ; 

10  "Of  righteousness,  "because  I  go  to  my  Father,  and  ye 
see  me  no  more  ; 

11  "Of  judgment,  because  "the  prince  of  this  world  is  judged. 

12  1  have  yet  many  things  to  say  unto  you,  »but  ye  can- 
not bear  them  now. 

13  Howbeit  when  he,  'the  Spirit  of  truth,  is  come,  'he  will 
guide  you  into  all  truth :  for  he  shall  not  speak  of  himself; 
but  whatsoever  he  shall  hear,  thai  shall  he  speak  :  and  he  will 
shew  you  things  to  come. 

14  He  shall  glorify  me :  for  he  shall  receive  of  mine,  and 
shall  shew  it  unto  you. 

15  'All  things  that  the  Father  hath  are  mine:  therefore 
said  I,  that  he  shall  take  of  mine,  and  shall  shew  it  unto  you. 

16  "A  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me :  and  again,  a 
little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me,  "'because  I  go  to  the  V  ather. 

17  Then  said  some,  of  his  disciples  among  themselves,  What 
is  this  that  he  saith  unto  us,  A  little  while,  and  j'e  shall  not 
see  me :  and  again,  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me :  and. 
Because  I  go  to  the  Father  ? 

18  They  said  therefore,  What  is  this  that  he  saith,  A  little 
while  ?  we  cannot  tell  what  he  saith. 

19  Now  Jesus  knew  that  they  were  desirous  to  ask  him, 
and  said  unto  them,  Do  ye  inquire  among  yourselves  of  that 
I  said,  A  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me:  and  again, a 
little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me? 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  That  ye  shall  weep  and 
lament,  but  the  world  shall  rejoice;  and  ye  shall  be  sorrow- 
ful, but  your  sorrow  shall  be  turned  into  joy. 

21  "A  woman  when  she  is  in  travail  hath  sorrow,  because 
her  hour  is  come :  but  as  soon  as  she  is  delivered  of  the 
child,  she  remembereth  no  more  the  anguish,  for  joy  that  a 
man  is  born  into  the  world. 

22  'And  ye  now  therefore  have  sorrow :  but  I  will  see 
you  again,  and  "your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your  joy  no 
man  taketh  from  you. 

23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask  me  nothing.  'Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  the  Father 
in  my  name,  he  will  give  ii  you. 


25  But  this  Cometh  to  pass,  that  the  word  may  be  ful- 
filled that  is  written  in  their   law.  They   hated   me 

26  without  a  cause.  But  when  the  'Comforter  is  come, 
whom  I  will  send  unto  you  from  the  Father,  eve7i 
the    Spirit  of  truth,   which    ^proceedeth    from    the 


27  Father,  he  shall  bear

the  beginning. 


witness  of  me :  %nd  ye  also 
ye  have  been  with  me  from 


le 


These   things   have   I   spoken  unto  you,  that   ye 


2  should  not  be  made  to  stumble.  They  shall  put 
you  out  of  the  synagogues :  yea,  the  hour  cometh, 
that  whosoever  killeth  you  shall  think  that  he  offereth 

3  service  unto  God.  And  these  things  will  they  do, 
because  they  have  not  known  the  Father,  nor  me. 

4  But  these  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  when 
their  hour  is  come,  ye  may  remember  them,  how 
that  I  told  you.  And  these  things  I  said  not  unto 
you  from   the    beginning,  because  I  was   with   you. 

5  But  now  I  go  unto  him  that  sent  me ;  and  none  of 

6  you  asketh  me.  Whither  goest  thou  ?  But  because  I 
have  spoken  these  things  unto  j'ou,  sorrow  hath  filled 

7  your  heart.  Nevertheless  I  tell  you  the  truth ;  It  is 
expedient  for  you  that  I  go  away :  for  if  I  go  not 
away,  the  'Comforter  will  not  come  unto  you ;  but 

8  if  I  go,  I  will  send  him  unto  you.  And  he,  when 
he  is  come,  will  convict  the  world  in  respect  of  sin, 

9  and  of  righteousness,  and  of  judgement:  of  sin,  be- 
10 cause  they  believe  not  on  me;  of  righteousness,  be- 
cause I  go  to  the  Father,  and  ye  behold  me  no  more  ; 

11  of  judgement,  because  the  prince  of  this  world  hath 

12  been  judged.     I  have  yet  many  things  to  say  unto 

13  you,  but  ye  cannot  bear  them  now.     Howbeit  when 
he,  the  Spirit  of  truth,  is  come,  he   shall  guide  you 
into  all  the  truth :  for  he  shall  not  speak  from  him 
self;  but  what  things  soever  he  shall  hear,  these  shall 
he  speak :  and  he  shall  declare   unto  you  the  things 

14  that  are  to  come.     He  shall  glorify  me :  for  he  shall 

15  take  of  mine,  and  shall  declare  it  unto  you.  All 
things  whatsoever  the  Father  hath  are  mine:  there- 
fore said  I,  that  he  taketh  of  mine,  and  shall  declare 

16  it  unto  you.  A  little  while,  and  ye  behold  me  no 
more ;  and  again  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me. 

n  Some  of  his  disciples  therefore  said  one  to  another. 
What  is  this  that  he  saith  unto  us,  A  little  while, 
and  ye  behold  me  not ;  and  again  a  little  while,  and 
ye  shall  see  me:  and,  Because  I  go  to  the  Father? 

18  They  said  therefore,  What  is  this  that  he  saith,  A 

19 little  while?  We  know  not  what  he  saith.  Jesus 
perceived  that  they  were  desirous  to  ask  him,  and 
he  said  unto  them,  Do  ye  inquire  among  yourselves 
concerning  this,  that  I  said,  A  little  while,  and  ye 
behold  me  not,  and  again  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall 

20see  me?  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that  ye 
shall  weep  and  lament,  but  the  world  shall  rejoice : 
ye   shall   be   sorrowful,   but   your   sorrow   shall   be 

21  turned  into  joy.  A  woman  when  she  is  in  travail 
hath  sorrow,  because  her  hour  is  come :  but  when 
she  is  delivered  of  the  child,  she  remembereth  no 
more   the  anguish,   for  the  joy  that  a  man  is  born 

22  into  the  world.  And  ye  therefore  now  have  sorrow : 
but  I  will  see  you  again,  and  your  heart  shall  re- 
joice, and   your  joy  no  one  taketh  away  from  you. 

23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  *ask  me  nothing.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  If  ye  shall  ask  anything 
of  the   Father,   he  will  give  it  you.  in  my   name.

24  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing  in  my  name :  ask,  and 
ye  shall  receive,  "that  your  joy  may  oe  full. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you  in  || proverbs: 
but  the  time  cometh  when  I  shall  no  more  speak  unto  you 
in  llproverb.s,  but  I  shall  shew  you  plainly  of  the  Father. 

26  ''At  that  day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name :  and  I  say  not 
unto  you,  that  I  will  pray  the  Father  for  you  : 

27  'For  the  Father  himself  loveth  you,  because  ye  have 
loved  me,  and  ^have  believed  that  I  came  out  from  God. 

28  "I  came  forth  from  the  Father,  and  am  come  into  the 
world :  again,  I  leave  the  world,  and  go  to  the  Father. 

29  His  disciples  said  unto  him,  Lo,  now  speakest  thou 
plainly,  and  speakest  no  ||  proverb. 

30  Now  are  we  sure  that  "thou  knowest  all  things,  and 
needest  not  that  any  man  should  ask  thee :  by  this  *we  be- 
li'ive  that  thou  earnest  forth  from  God. 

31  Jesus  answered  them.  Do  ye  now  believe  ? 

32  *Behold,  the  hour  cometh,  yea,  is  now  come,  that  ye 
shall  be  scattered  'every  man  to  |]  his  own,  and  shall  leave 
me  alone :  and  "yet  I  am  not  alone,  because  the  Father 
is  with  me. 

33  These  things  I  have  spoken  unto  you,  that  "in  me  ye 
might  have  peace.  "In  the  world  ye  shall  have  tribulation  ; 
"but  be  of  good  cheer;  "I  have  overcome  the  world. 

CHAPTER    XVII. 

Christ  prayeih  for  his  apostles. 

THESE   words   spake   Jesus,  and  lifted  up  his  eves  to 
heaven,  and  said,  Father,  "the  hour  is  come;  glorify  thy 
Son,  that  thy  Son  also  may  glorify  thee : 

2  ''As  thou  bast  given  him  power  over  all  flesh,  that  he 
should  give  eternal  life  to  as  many  "as  thou  hast  given  him. 

3  And  ''this  is  life  eternal,  that  they  might  know  thee  'the 
only  true  God,  and  Jesus  Christ  ''whom  thou  hast  sent. 

4  "I  have  glorified  thee  on  the  earth ;  *I  have  finished  the 
work  'which  thou  gavest  me  to  do. 

5  And  now,  O  Father,  glorify  thou  me  with  thine  own  self 
witn  the  glory  *which  I  had  with  thee  before  the  world  was. 

6  'I  have  manifested  thy  name  unto  the  men  ""which  thou 
gavest  me  out  of  the  world :  thine  they  were,  and  thou  gav- 
est them  me;  and  they  have  kept  thy  word. 

7  Now  they  have  known  that  all  things  whatsoever  thou 
hast  given  me  are  of  thee : 

8  For  I  have  given  unto  them  the  words  "which  thou  gav- 
est me ;  and  they  have  received  them,  "and  have  known  surely 
that  I  came  out  from  thee,  and  they  have  believed  that  thou 
didst  send  me. 

9  I  pray  for  them  :  "I  pray  not  for  the  world,  but  for  them 
which  thou  hast  given  me;  for  they  are  thine. 

10  And  all  mine  are  thine,  and  «thine  are  mine  ;  and  I  am 
glorified  in  them. 

11  'And  now  I  am  no  more  in  the  world,  but  these  are  in 
the  world,  and  I  come  to  thee.  Holy  Father,  'keep  through 
thine  own  name  those  whom  thou  hast  given  me,  'that  they 
may  be  one,  "as  we  are.. 

3 '/,  While  I  was  with  them  in  the  world,  'I  kept  them  in 
thy  name :  those  that  thou  gavest  me  I  have  kept,  and 
"none  '^f  them  is  lost,  'but  the  son  of  perdition ;  "that  the 
Scripture  might  be  fulfilled. 

13  And  now  come  I  to  thee ;  and  these  things  I  speak  in  the 
world,  that  they  might  have  my  joy  fulfilled  in  themselves. 

1 4  ""I  have  given  them  thy  word ;  "'and  the  world  hath  hated 
them,  because  they  are  not  of  the  world,  "'even  as  I  am  not 
of  the  world. 

15  I  pray  not  that  thou  shouldest  take  them  out  of  the 
world,  but  'that  thou  shouldest  keep  them  from  the  evil. 

16  ■^They  are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I  am  not  of  the  world. 

17  "Sanctify  them  through  thy  truth:  Hhy  word  is  truth. 

18  'As  thou  hast  sent  me  into  the  world,  even  so  have  I 
also  sent  them  into  the  world. 


24  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing  in  my  name  :  ask, 
and  ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may  be  fulfilled. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you  in  'prov- 
erbs: the  hour  cometh,  when  I  shall  no  more  speak 
unto  you  in  'proverbs,  but  shall  tell  you  plainly  of 

26  the  Father.  In  that  day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name : 
and  I  say  not  unto  you,  that  I  will  ^pray  the  Father 

27  for  you ;  for  the  Father  himself  loveth  you,  because 
ye  have  loved  me,  and  have  believed  that  I  came  forth 

28  from  the  Father.  I  came  out  from  the  Father,  and 
am  come  into  the  world:  again,  I  leave  the  world, 

29  and  go  unto  the  Father.  His  disciples  say,  Lo,  now 
speakest  thou    plainly,  and   speakest   no  ^proverb. 

30  Now  know  we  that  thou  knowest  all  things,  and 
needest  not  that  any  man  should  ask  thee :  by  this 

31  we  believe  that  thou  earnest  forth  from  God.     Jesus 
32 answered  them.  Do  ye  now  believe?     Behold,  the 

hour  cometh,  yea,  is  come,  that  ye  shall  be  scattered, 
every  man  to  his  own,  and  shall  leave  me  alone : 
and  yet  I  am  not  alone,  because  the  Father  is  with 
33  me.  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  in 
me  ye  may  have  peace.  In  the  world  ye  have  tribu- 
lation :  but  be  of  good  cheer;  I  have  overcome  the 
world. 

+  4  These  things  spake  Jesus ;  and  lifting  up  his  eyes 
to  heaven,  he  said.  Father,  the  hour  is  come ;  glorify 

2  thy  Son,  that  the  Son  may  glorify  thee :  even  as  thou 
gavest  him  authority  over  all  flesh,  that  whatsoever 
thou  hast  given  him,  to  them  he  should  give  eternal 

3  life.  And  this  is  life  eternal,  that  they  should  know 
thee  the  only  true    God,  and    him  who   thou  didst 

4send,  even  Jesus  Christ.  I  glorified  thee  on  the 
earth,  having  accomplished   the  work  which  thou 

5  hast  given  me  to  do.  And  now,  O  Father,  glorify 
thou  me  with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory  which 

6 1  had  with  thee  before  the  world  was.  I  manifested 
thy  name  unto  the  men  whom  thou  gavest  me  out 
of  the  world :  thine  they  were,  and  thou  gavest  them 

7 to  me;  and  they  have  kept  thy  word.  Now  they 
know  that  all  things  whatsoever  thou  hast  given  me 

8 are  from  thee:  for  the  words  which  thou  gavest  me 
I  have  given  unto  them ;  and  they  received  them, 
and  knew  of  a  truth  that  I  came  forth  from  thee,  and 

9  they  believed  that  thou  didst  send  me.     I  *pray  for 

them :  I  *pray  not  for  the  world,  but  for  those  whom 

10 thou  hast   given  me;    for  they  are  thine:    and  all 

things  that  are  mine  are  thine,  and  thine  are  mine : 

11  and  I  am  glorified  in  them.  And  I  am  no  more  in 
the  world,  and  these  are  in  the  world,  and  I  come 
to  thee.  Holy  Father,  keep  them  in  thy  name  which 
thou  hast  given  me,  that  they  may  be  one,  even  as 

12  we  are.  While  I  was  with  them,  I  kept  them  in  thy 
name  which  thou  hast  given  me:  and  I  guarded 
them,  and  not  one  of  them  perished,  but  the  son  of 
perdition;  that    the    scripture   might    be    fulfilled. 

13 But  now  I  come  to  thee;  and  these  things  I  speak 

in  the  world,  that  they  may  have  my  joy  fulfilled 

14 in  themselves.     I  have  given  them  thy  word;  and 

the    world    hated   them,    because    they    are  not    of 

15  the    world,    even    as   I    am    not   of  the   world.     I 

*pray  not  that  thou   shouldest  take  them  "from  the 

world,  but  that  thou    shouldest    keep    them   'from 

16*the   evil  one.     They   are    not   of  the    world,  even 

17  as  I  am   not  of  the  world.     'Sanctify   them  in  the 

18 truth:  thy  word  is  truth.     As  thou  didst  send  me 

into  the  world,  even  so  sent  I  them  into  the  world.

19  And  *for  their  sakes  I  sanctify  myself,  that  they  also 
might  be  1|  sanctified  through  the  truth. 

20  Neither  pray  I  for  these  alone:  but  for  them  also 
which  shall  believe  on  me  through  their  word; 

21  'That  they  all  may  be  one;  "'as  thou,  Father,  art  in 
me,  and  I  in  thee,  that  they  also  may  be  one  in  us:  that 
the  world  may  believe  that  thou  hast  sent  me, 

22  And  the  glory  which  thou  gavest  me  I  have  given 
them :  "that  they  may  be  one,  even  as  we  are  one : 

23  I  in  them,  and  thou  in  me,  "that  they  may  be  made 
perfect  in  one;  and  that  the  world  may  know  that  thou 
hast  sent  me,  and  hast  loved  them  as  thou  hast  loved  me. 

24  "Father,  I  will  that  they  also,  whom  thou  hast  given 
me,  be  with  me  where  I  am;  that  they  may  behold  my 
glory,  which  thou  hast  given  me ;  'for  thou  lovedst  me  be- 
fore the  foundation  of  the  world. 

25  O  righteous  Father,  'the  world  hath  not  known  thee: 
but  'I  have  known  thee,  and  these  have  known  that  thou 
hast  sent  me. 

26  "And  I  have  declared  unto  them  thy  name,  and  will 
declare  it;  that  the  love  "'wherewith  thou  hast  loved  me,  may 
be  in  them,  and  I  in  them. 

CHAPTER   XVIII. 

Judas  betrayethjeius. 

WHEN  Jesus  had  spoken  these  words,  "he  went  forth 
with  his  disciples  over  ''the  brook  Ce'dron,  where  was 
a  garden,  into  the  which  he  entered,  and  his  disciples. 

2  And  Ju'das  also,  which  betrayed  him,  knew  the  place : 
"for  Jesus  ofttimes  resorted  thither  with  his  disciples. 

3  ''Ju'das,  then,  having  received  a  band  of  men  and  officers 
from  the  chief  priests  and  Phar'i-sees,  cometh  thither  with 
lanterns  and  torches  and  weapons. 

4  Jesus  therefore,  knowing  all  things  that  should  come 
upon  him,  went  forth,  and  said  unto  them.  Whom  seek  ye? 

5  They  answered  him,  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth.  Jesus  saith 
unto  them,  I  am  he.  And  Ju'das  also,  which  betrayed  him, 
stood  with  them. 

6  As  soon  then  as  he  had  said  unto  them,  I  am  he,  they 
went  backward,  and  fell  to  the  ground. 

7  Then  asked  he  them  again,  Whom  seek  ye?  And  they 
said,  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth. 

8  Jesus  answered,  I  have  told  you  that  I  am  he :  if  there- 
fore ye  seek  me,  let  these  go  their  way : 

9  That  the  saying  might  be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake,  'Of 
them  which  thou  gavest  me,  have  I  lost  none. 

10  -^Then  Si'mon  Pe'ter  having  a  sword  drew  it,  and  smote 
the  high  priest's  servant,  and  cut  off  his  right  ear.  The 
servant's  name  was  Mal'chus. 

11  Then  said  Jesus  unto  Pe'ter,  Put  up  thy  sword  into  the 
sheath :  'the  cup  which  my  Father  hath  given  me,  shall  I 
not  drink  it? 

12  Then  the  band  and  the  captain  and  officers  of  the 
Jews  took  Jesus,  and  bound  him, 

13  And  *led  him  away  to  'An'nas  first ;  for  he  was  father  in 
law  to  Ca'ia-phas,  which  was  the  high  priest  that  same  year.|| 

14  *Now  Ca'ia-phas  was  he,'which  gave  counsel  to  the  Jews, 
that  it  was  expedient  that  one  man  should  die  for  the  people. 

1 5  ^'And  Si'mon  Pe'ter  followed  Jesus,  and  so  did  another 
disciple:  that  disciple  was  known  unto  the  high  priest, 
and  went  in  with  Jesus  into  the  palace  or  the  high  priest. 

16  "But  Pe'ter  stood  at  the  door  without.  Ther  went  out 
that  other  disciple  which  was  known  unto  the  high  priest, 
and  spake  unto  her  that  kept  the  door,  and  brought  in  Pe'ter. 

17  Then  saith  the  damsel  that  kept  the  door  unto  Pe'ter, 
Art  not  thou  also  one  of  this  man's  disciples?  He  saith,  I 
am  not. 

18  And  the  servants  and  officers  stood  there,  who  had  made 
a  fire  of  coals,  for  it  was  cold;  and  they  warmed  them- 
selves: and  Pe'ter  stood  with  them,  and  warmed  himself.    | 


19  And  for  their  sakes  I  'sanctify  myself,  that  they 

20 themselves  also  may  be  sanctified  in  truth.    Neither 

for  these  only  do  I  ^pray,  but  for  them  also  that 

21  believe  on  me  through  their  word;  that  they  may 
all  be  one;  even  as  thou.  Father,  art  in  me,  and 
I  in  thee,  that  they  also  may  be  in  us :  that  the 

22  world  may  believe  that  thou  didst  send  me.  And 
the  glory  which  thou  hast  given  me  I  have  given 
unto  them ;    that  they  may  be  one,  even  as  we  are 

23  one ;  I  in  them,  and  thou  in  me,  that  they  may  be  per- 
fected into  one ;  that  the  world  may  know  that  thou 
didst  send  me,  and  lovedst  them,  even  as  thou  lovedst 

24  me.  Father,  ^that  which  thou  hast  given  me,  I  will 
that,  where  I  am,  they  also  may  be  with  me ;  that  they 
may  behold  my  glory,  which  thou  hast  given  me : 
for  thou  lovedst  me  before  the  foundation  of  the 

25  world.  O  righteous  Father,  the  world  knew  thee 
not,  but  I  knew  thee;  and  these  knew  that  thou  didst 

26  send  me ;  and  I  made  known  unto  them  thy  name, 
and  will  make  it  known ;  that  the  love  wherewith 
thou  lovedst  me  may  be  in  them,  and  I  in  them. 

■to  When  Jesus  had  spoken  these  words,  he  went 
forth  with  his  disciples  over  the  *brook  ''Kid'ron, 
where  was  a  garden,  into  the  which  he  entered,  him- 

2  self  and  his  disciples.  Now  Ju'das  also,  which  be- 
trayed  him,   knew  the  place :    for    Jesus   ofttimes 

3  resorted  thither  with  his  disciples.  Ju'das  then,  hav- 
ing received  the  'band  of  soldiers,  and  officers  from 
the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar'i-sees,  cometh  thither 

4  with  lanterns  and  torches  and  weapons.  Jesus 
therefore,  knowing  all  the  things  that  were  coming 
upon  him,  went  forth,  and  saith  unto  them,  Whom 

5 seek  ye?  They  answered  him,  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth. 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  I  am  he.     And  Ju'das  also, 

6  which  betrayed  him,  was  standing  with  them.  When 
therefore  he  said  unto  them,  I  am  he,  they  went  back- 

7  ward,  and  fell  to  the  ground.  Again  therefore  he 
asked  them.  Whom  seek  ye?  And  they  said,  Jesus 

8  of  Naz'a-reth.  Jesus  answered,  I  told  you  that  I  am 
he :  if  therefore  ye  seek  me,  let  these  go  their  way : 

9  that  the  word  might  be  fulfilled  which  he  spake,  Of 
those  whom  thou  hast  given  me  I  lost  not  one. 

10  Si'mon  Pe'ter  therefore  having  a  sword  drew  it,  and 
struck  the  high  priest's  'servant,  and  cut  off  his  right 

1 1  ear.  Now  the  servant's  name  was  Mal'chus.  Jesus 
therefore  said  unto  Pe'ter,  Put  up  the  sword  into  the 
sheath :  the  cup  which  the  Father  hath  given  me, 
shall  I  not  drink  it? 

12  So  the  'band  and  the  'chief  captain,  and  the  offi- 
13cers  of  the  Jews,  seized  Jesus  and  bound  him,  and 

led  him  to  An'nas  first ;  for  he  was  father  in  law  to 

14  Ca'ia-phas,  which  was  high  priest  that  year.  Now 
Ca'ia-phas  was  '^e  which  gave  counsel  to  the  Jews, 
that  it  was  expedient  that  one  man  should  die  for 
the  people. 

15  And  Si'mon  Pe'ter  followed  Jesus,  and  so  did  an- 
other disciple.  Now  that  disciple  was  known  unto 
the  high  priest,  and  entered  in  with  Jesus  into  the 

16co_rt  of  the  h'gh  priest;  but  Pe'ter  was  standing  at 
the  door  without.  So  the  other  disciple,  which  was 
known  unto  the  high  priest,  went  out  and  spake  unto 

17 her  that  kept  the  door,  and  brought  in  Peter.  The 
maid  therefore  that  kept  the  door  saith  unto  Pe'ter, 
Art  thou  also  one  of  this  man's  disciples  ?   He  saith, 

18 1  am  not.  Now  the  'servants  and  the  officers  were 
standing  there,  having  made  '"a  fire  of  coals;  for  it  was 
cold ;  and  they  were  warming  themselves  :  and  Pe'ter 
also  was  with  them,  standing  and  warming  himself.

19  ^The  high  priest  then  asked  Jesus  of  his  disciples,  and 
of  his  doctrine. 

20  Jesus  answered  him,  "I  spake  openly  to  the  world;  I 
ever  taught  in  the  synagogue,  and  in  the  temple,  whither 
the  Jews  always  resort ;  and  in  secret  have  I  said  nothing. 

21  Why  askest  thou  me?  ask  them  which  heard  me,  what 
I  have  said  unto  them :  behold,  they  know  what  I  said. 

22  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  one  of  the  officers 
which  stood  by,  "struck  Jesus  ||  with  the  palm  of  his  hand, 
saying,  Answerest  thou  the  high  priest  so? 

23  Jesus  answered  him.  If  I  have  spoken  evil,  bear  witness 
of  the  evil :  but  if  well,  why  smitest  thou  me? 

24  ("Now  An'nas  had  sent  him  bound  unto  Ca'ia-phas  the 
high  priest.) 

25  And  Si'mon  Pe'ter  stood  and  warmed  himself.  'They 
said  therefore  unto  him.  Art  not  thou  also  one  of  his  dis- 
ciples?    He  denied  it,  and  said,  I  am  not. 

26  One  of  the  servants  of  the  high  priest,  being  his  kins- 
man whose  ear  Pe'ter  cut  off,  saith,  Did  not  I  see  thee  in 
the  garden  with  him? 

27  Pe'ter  then  denied  again;  and'immediatelythe  cock  crew. 

28  ^'Then  led  they  Jesus  from  Ca'ia-phas  unto  ||the  hall 
of  judgment:  and  it  was  early;  'and  they  themselves  went 
not  into  the  judgment  hall,  lest  they  should  be  defiled ;  but 
that  they  might  eat  the  passover. 

29  Pi'late  then  went  out  unto  them,  and  said.  What  accu- 
sation bring  ye  against  this  man  ? 

30  They  answered  and  said  unto  him.  If  he  were  not  a 
malefactor,  we  would  not  have  delivered  him  up  unto  thee. 

31  Then  said  Pi'late  unto  them.  Take  ye  him,  and  judge 
him  according  to  your  law.  The  Jews  therefore  said  unto 
him.  It  is  not  lawful  for  us  to  put  any  man  to  death : 

32  "That  the  saying  of  Jesus  might  be  fulfilled,  which  he 
sj)ake,  signifying  what  death  he  should  die. 

33  "Then  Pi'late  entered  into  the  judgment  hall  again,  and 
called  Jesus,  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  the  King  of  the  Jews? 

34  Jesus  answered  him,  Sayest  thou  this  thing  of  thyself, 
or  did  others  tell  it  thee  of  me  ? 

35  Pi'late  answered,  Am  I  a  Jew?  Thine  own  nation 
and  the  chief  priests  have  delivered  thee  unto  me:  what 
hast  thou  done? 

36  "Jesus  answered,  'My  kingdom  is  not  of  this  world :  if 
my  kingdom  were  of  this  world,  then  would  my  servants 
fight,  that  I  should  not  be  delivered  to  the  Jews :  but  now 
is  my  kingdom  not  from  hence. 

37  Pi'late  therefore  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  a  king  then  ? 
Jesus  answered.  Thou  sayest  that  I  am  a  king.  To  this 
end  was  I  born,  and  for  this  cause  came  I  into  the  world, 
that  I  should  bear  witness  unto  the  truth.  Every  one  that 
"is  of  the  truth  heareth  my  voice. 

38  Pi'late  saith  unto  him.  What  is  truth?  And  when  he 
had  said  this,  he  went  out  again  unto  the  Jews,  and  saith 
unto  them,  'I  find  in  him  no  fault  at  all. 

39  "But  ye  have  a  custom,  that  I  should  release  unto  you 
one  at  the  passover:  will  ye  therefore  that  I  release  unto 
you  the  King  of  the  Jews? 

40  ''Then  cried  they  all  again,  saying.  Not  this  man,  but 
Ba-rab'bas.     'Now  Ba-rab'bas  was  a  robber. 

CHAPTER   XIX. 

Jesus  arraigned  and  crucified. 

rpHEN  "Pi'late  therefore  took  Jesus,  and  scourged  him. 
X.    2  And  the  soldiers  platted  a  crown  of  thorns,  and  put  i< 
on  his  head,  and  they  put  on  him  a  purple  robe, 

3  And  said.  Hail,  King  of  the  Jews !  and  they  smote  him 
with  their  hands. 

4  Pi'late  therefore  went  forth  again,  and  saith  unto  them. 
Behold,  I  bring  him  forth  to  you,  Hhat  ye  may  know  that 
I  find  no  fault  in  him. 

5  Then  came  Jesus  forth,  wearing  the  crown  of  thorns. 


19      The  high  priest  therefore  asked  Jesus  of  his  dis- 

20ciples,  and  of  his  teaching.     Jesus  answered  him,  I 

have  spoken  openly  to  the  world ;  I  ever  taught  in 

'synagogues,  and  in  the  temple,  where  all  the  Jews 

21  come  together;  and  in  secret  spake  I  nothing.  Why 
askest  thou  me  ?  ask  them  that  have  heard  me,  what 
I  spake  unto  them :    behold,  these  know  the  things 

22  which  I  said.  And  when  he  had  said  this,  one  of  the 
officers  standing  by  struck  Jesus  ^with  his  hand,  say- 

23ing,  AnsWerest  thou  the  high  priest  so?  Jesus  an- 
swered him,  If  I  have  spoken  evil,  bear  witness  of  the 

24  evil :  but  if  well,  why  smitest  thou  me  ?  An'nas  there- 
fore sent  him  bound  unto  Ca'ia-phas  the  high  priest. 

25  Now  Si'mon  Pe'ter  was  standing  and  warming  him- 
self. They  said  therefore  ux}to  him.  Art  thou  also 
one  of  his  disciples?     He  denied,  and  said,  I  am  not. 

26  One  of  the  'servants  of  the  hig-h  priest,  being  a 
kinsman  of  him  whose  ear  Pe'tnr  cut  off,  saith,  Did 

27  not  I  see  thee  in  the  garden  with  h'p^?  Pe'ter  there- 
fore denied  again :   and  straightway  the  cock  crew. 

28  They  lead  Jesus  therefore  from  Ca'ia-f>has  into  the 
*palace:  and  it  was  early;  and  they  theni'ie^ves  en- 
tered not  into  the  'palace,  that  they  might  not  be 

29  defiled,  but  might  eat  the  passover.  Pi'late  there- 
fore went  out  unto  them,  and  saith.  What  accusation 

30  bring  ye  against  this  man  ?  They  answered  and 
said  unto  him.  If  this  man  were  not  an  evil-doer,  we 

31  should  uot  have  delivered  him  up  unto  thee.  Pi'late 
therefore  said  unto  them,  Take  him  yourselves,  and 
judge  him  according  to  your  law.  The  Jews  said 
unto  him,  It  is  not  lawful  for  us  to  put  any  man  to 

32 death:    that  the  word  of  Jesus  might  be  fulfilled, 

which  he  spake,  signifying  by  what  manner  of  death 

he  should  die. 
33     Pi'late  therefore  entered  again  into  the  'palace,  and 

called  Jesus,  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  the  King 
34 of  the  Jews?    Jesus  answered,  Sayest  thou  this  of 

thyself,  or  did  others   tell  it  thee  concerning  me? 

35  Pi'late  answered.  Am  I  a  Jew  ?  Thine  own  nation 
and  the  chief  priests  delivered  thee  unto  me :  what 

36  hast  thou  done  ?  Jesus  answered.  My  kingdom  is 
not  of  this  world :  if  my  kingdom  were  of  this  world, 
then  would  my  'servants  fight,  that  I  should  not  be 
delivered  to  the  Jews :  but  now  is  my  kingdom  not 

37  from  hence.  Pi'late  therefore  said  unto  him.  Art 
thou  a  king  then  ?  Jesus  answered,  'Thou  sayest 
that  I  am  a  king.  To  this  end  have  I  been  born, 
and  to  this  end  am  I  come  into  the  world,  that  I 
should  bear  witness  unto  the  truth.     Every  one  that 

38  is  of  the  truth  heareth  my  voice.  Pi'late  saith  unto 
him.  What  is  truth  ? 

And   when  he  had  said  this,  he  went  out  again 
unto  the  Jews,  and  saith  unto  them,  I  find  no  crime 

39  in  him.  But  ye  have  a  custom,  that  I  should  release 
unto  you  one  at  the  passover :  will  ye  therefore  that 

40  I  release  unto  you  the  King  of  the  Jews  ?  They 
cried  out  therefore  again,  saying.  Not  this  man,  but 
Ba-rab'bas.     Now  Ba-rab'bas  was  a  robber. 

iv  Then  Pi'late  therefore  took  Jesus,  and  scourged 
2  him.     And  the  soldiers  plaited  a  crown  of  thorns, 

and  put  it  on  his  head,  and  arrayed  him  in  a  pur- 
3 pie  garment;    and  they  came  unto  him,  and  said. 

Hail,  King  of  the  Jews !  and  they  struck  him  Vith

unto  them.  Behold,  I  bring  him  out  to  you,  that 

5  ye  may  know  that  I  find  no  crime  in  him.     Jesus 
therefore  came  out,  wearing  the   crown  of  thorns

and  the  purple  robe.     And  Pi'late  saith  unto  them.  Behold 
the  man ! 

6  "When  the  chief  priests  therefore  and  officers  saw  him, 
they  cried  out,  saying,  Crucify  him,  crucify  him.  Pi'late 
saith  unto  them,  Take  ye  him,  and  crucify  him:  for  I  find 
no  fault  in  him. 

7  The  Jews  answered  him,  ''We  have  a  law,  and  by  our 
law  he  ought  to  die,  because  'he  made  himself  the  Son  of 
God. 

8  ^When  Pi'late  therefore  heard  that  saying,  he  was  the 
more  afraid; 

9  And  went  again  into  the  judgment  hall,  £[tid  saith 
unto  Jesus,  Whence  art  thou?  •''But  Jesus  gave  him  no 
answer. 

10  Then  saith  Pi'late  unto  him,  Sp'eakest  thou  not  unto 
me?  knowest  thou  not,  that  I  have  power  to  crucify  thee, 
and  have  power  to  release  thee? 

11  Jesus  answered,  "Thou  couldest  have  no  power  at  all 
against  me,  except  it  were  given  thee  from  above:  there- 
fore he  that  delivered  me  unto  thee  hath  the  greater  sin. 

12  And  from  thenceforth  Pi'late  sought  to  release  him: 
but  the  Jews  cried  out,  saying,  ''If  thou  let  this  man  go, 
thou  art  not  Ce'sar's  friend :  'whosoever  maketh  himself  a 
king  speaketh  against  Ce'sar. 

13  *|yWhen  Pi'late  therefore  heard  that  saying,  he  brought 
Jesus  forth,  and  sat  down  in  the  judgment  seat  in  a  place 
that  is  called  the  Pavement,  but  in  the  He'brew,  Gab'ba-tha. 

14  And  *it  was  the  preparation  of  the  passover,  and 
about  the  sixth  hour :  and  he  saith  unto  the  Jews,  Behold 
your  King! 

15  But  they  cried  out.  Away  with  him,  away  with  him, 
crucify  him.  Pi'late  saith  unto  them,  Shall  I  crucify  your 
King?  The  chief  priests  answered,  'We  have  no  king  but 
Ce'sar. 

16  "Then  delivered  he  him  therefore  unto  them  to  be 
crucified.     And  they  took  Jesus,  and  led  him  away. 

17  "And  he  bearing  his  cross  "went  forth  into  a  place 
called  the  place  of  a  skull,  which  is  called  in  the  He'brew, 
Gol'go-tha : 

18  Where  they  crucified  him,  and  two  others  with  him,  on 
either  side  one,  and  Jesus  in  the  midst. 

19  ^"And  Pi'late  wrote  a  title,  and  put  it  on  the  cross. 
And  the  writing  was,  JESUS  OF  NAZ'A-RETH  THE 
KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

20  This  title  then  read  many  of  the  Jews;  for  the  place 
where  Jesus  was  crucified  was  nigh  to  the  city :  and  it  was 
written  in  He'brew,  and  Greek,  and  I^t'in. 

21  Then  said  the  chief  priests  of  the  Jews  to  Pi'late,  Write 
not,  The  King  of  the  Jews ;  but  that  he  said,  I  am  King  of 
the  Jews. 

22  Pi'late  answered,  What  I  have  written  I  have  written. 

23  ^'Then  the  soldiers,  when  they  had  crucified  Jesus, 
took  his  garments,  and  made  four  parts,  to  every  soldier  a 
part;  and  also   his  coat:  now  the   coat  was  without  seam, 

woven  from  the  top  throughout. 

24  They  said  therefore  among  themselves,  Let  us  not  rend 
it,  but  cast  lots  for  it,  whose  it  shall  be,  that  the  Scripture 
might  be  fulfilled,  which  saith,  ''They  parted  my  raiment 
among  them,  and  for  my  vesture  they  did  cast  lots.  These 
things  therefore  the  soldiers  did. 

25  ^'Now  there  stood  by  the  cross  of  Jesus,  his  mother, 
and  his  mother's  sister,  Ma'ry  the  wife  of  ||'Cle'o-phas,  and 
Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne. 

26  When  Jesus  therefore  saw  his  mother,  and  "the  disciple 
standing  by,  whom  he  loved,  he  saith  unto  his  mother, 
"=Woman,  behold  thy  son. 

27  Then  saith  he  to  the  disciple,  Behold  thy  mother! 
And  from  that  hour  that  disciple  took  her  "unto  his  own 
home.  I 


and  the  purple  garment.  And  Pi'late  saith  unto 
6 them,  Behold  the  man!  When  therefore  the  chief 
priests  and  the  officers  saw  him  they  cried  out, 
saying,  Crucify  him,  crucify  him.  Pi'late  saith  unto 
them,  Take  him   yourselves,  and  crucify  him :    for 

7  I  find  no  crime  in  him.     The  Jews  answered  him, 
We  have  a   law,  and  by  that   law  he  ought  to  die, 

8  because  he  made  himself  the  Son  j)f  God.     When 
Pi'late  therefore  heard  this  saying,  he  %vas  the  more 

9  afraid ;  and  he  entered  into  the  'palace  again,  and 
saith   unto    Jesus,  Whence   art  thou?     But   Jesus 

10  gave  him  no  answer.  Pi'late  therefore  saith  unto 
him,  Speakcst  thou  not  unto  me  ?  knowest  thou 
not  that  I  have  ^power  to  release  thee,  and  have 

ll^power  to  crucify  thee?  Jesus  answered  him,  Thou 
wouldest  have  no  ^power  against  me,  except  it  were 
given  thee  from  above:  therefore  he  that  delivered 

12  me  unto  thee  hath  greater  sin.  llpon  this  Pi'late 
sought  to  release  him :  but  the  Jews  cried  out,  say- 
ing. If  thou  release  this  man,  thou  art  not  Cse'sar's 
friend:  every  one  that  maketh  himself  a  king  'speak- 

13eth  against  Cse'sar.  When  Pi'late  therefore  heard 
these  words,  he  brought  Jesus  out,  and  sat  down  on 
the  judgement-seat  at  a  place  called  The  Pavement, 

14  but  in  He'brew,  Gab'ba-tha.  Now  it  was  the  Prep- 
aration of  the  Passover :  it  was  about  the  sixth  hour. 
And  he  saith  unto  the  Jews,  Behold,  your  King! 

16  They  therefore  cried  out,  Away  with  him,  away 
with  him,  crucify  him.  Pi'late  saith  unto  them,  Shall 
I  crucify  your  King?     The  chief  priests  answered, 

16  We  have  no  king  but  Cse'sar.  Then  therefore  he 
delivered  him  unto  them  to  be  crucified. 

17  They  took  Jesus  therefore :  and  he  went  out  bear- 
ing the  cross  for  himself,  unto  the  place  called  The 
place  of  a  skull,  which  is  called  in  He'brew  Gol'go-tha : 

18  where  they  crucified  him,  and  with  him  two  others, 

19  on  either  side  one,  and  Jesus  in  the  midst.  And 
Pi'late  wrote  a  title  also,  and  put  it  on  the  cross. 
And  there  was  written,  jestjs  of  naz'a-reth,  the 

20  KING  OF  THE  JEWS.  This  title  therefore  read  many 
of  the  Jews :  *for  the  place  where  Jesus  was  crucified 
was  nigh  to  the  city :  and  it  was  written  in  He'brew, 

21  and  in  Lat'in,  and  in  Greek.  The  chief  priests  of 
the  Jews  therefore  said  to  Pi'late,  Write  not.  The 
King  of  the  .Jews ;  but,  that  he  .said,  I  am  King  of 

22  the  Jews.  Pi'late  answered.  What  I  have  written  I 
have  written. 

23  The  soldiers  therefore  when  they  had  crucified 
Jesus,  took  his  garments,  and  made  four  parts,  to 
every  soldier  a  part;  and  also  the  'coat:  now  the 
'coat  was  without  seam,  woven  from  the  top  through- 

24  out.  They  said  therefore  one  to  another.  Let  us  not 
rend  it,  but  cast  lots  for  it,  whose  it  shall  be :  that 
the  scripture  might  be  fulfilled,  which  saith, 

They  parted  my  garments  among  them, 
And  upon  my  vesture  did  they  cast  lots. 

25  These  things  therefore  the  soldiers  did.  But  ther« 
were  standing  by  the  cross  of  Jesus  his  mother,  and 
his  mother's  sister,  Ma'ry  the  wife  of  Clo'pas,  and 

26  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne.  When  Jesus  therefore  saw  his 
mother,  and  the  disciple  standing  by,  whom  he 
loved,  he  saith    unto    his   mother,  Woman,  behold 

27  thy  son !  Then  saith  he  to  the  disciple.  Behold  thy 
mother !  And  from  that  hour  the  disciple  took  her 
unto  his  own  home.

28  ^After  this,  Jesus  knowing  that  all  things  were  now 
accomplished,  'that  the  Scripture  might  be  fulfilled,  saith,  I 
thirst. 

29  Now  there  was  set  a  vessel  full  of  vinegar:  and  "they 
filled  a  sponge  with  vinegar,  and  put  it  upon  hyssop,  and 
put  it  to  his  mouth. 

30  When  Jesus  therefore  had  received  the  vinegar,  he  said, 
'It  is  finished :  and  he  bowed  his  head,  and  gave  up  the 
ghost. 

31  The  Jews  therefore,  'because  it  was  the  preparation, 
"Hhat  the  bodies  should  not  remain  upon  the  cross  on  the 
sabbath  day,  (for  that  sabbath  day  was  a  high  day,)  be- 
sought Pi'late  that  their  legs  might  be  broken,  and  that  they 
might  be  taken  away. 

32  Then  came  the  soldiers,  and  brake  the  legs  of  the  first, 
and  of  the  other  which  was  crucified  with  him. 

33  But  when  they  came  to  Jesus,  and  saw  that  he  was  dead 
already,  they  brake  not  his  legs  : 

34  But  one  of  the  soldiers  with  a  spear  pierced  his  side, 
and  forthwith  'came  thereout  blood  and  water. 

35  And  he  that  saw  it  bare  record,  and  his  record  is 
true ;  and  he  knoweth  that  he  saith  true,  that  ye  might 
believe. 

36  For  these  things  were  done,  •'^that  the  Scripture  should 
be  fulfilled,  A  bone  of  him  shall  not  be  broken. 

37  And  again  another  Scripture  saith,  'They  shall  look  on 
him  whom  they  pierced. 

38  ^''And  after  this  Jo'seph  of  Ar-i-ma-the'a,  being  a  dis- 
ciple of  Jesus,  but  secretly  'for  fear  of  the  Jews,  besought 
Pi'late  that  he  might  take  away  the  body  of  Jesus:  and 
Pi'late  gave  him  leave.  He  came  therefore,  and  took  the 
body  of  Jesus. 

39  And  there  came  also  *Nic-o-de'mus,  (which  at  the  first 
came  to  Jesus  by  night,)  and  brought  a  mixture  of  myrrh 
and  aloes,  about  a  hundred  pound  weight. 

40  Then  took  they  the  body  of  Jesus,  and  'wound  it  in 
linen  clothes  with  the  spices,  as  the  manner  of  the  Jews  is 
to  bury. 

41  Now  in  the  place  where  he  was  crucified  there  was  a 
garden;  and  in  the  garden  a  new  sepulchre,  wherein  was 
never  man  yet  laid. 

42  ""There  laid  they  Jesus  therefore  "because  of  the  Jews' 
preparation-rfay  /  for  the  sepulchre  was  nigh  at  hand. 

CHAPTER    XX. 

The  resurrection  of  Christ. 

THE  "first  day  of  the  week  cometh  Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne 
early,  when  it  was  yet  dark,  unto  the  sepulchre,  and  seeth 
the  stone  taken  away  from  the  sepulchre. 

2  Then  she  runneth,  and  cometh  to  Si'mon  Pe'ter,  and  to 
the  'other  disciple,  whom  Jesus  loved,  and  saith  unto  them, 
They  have  taken  away  the  Lord  out  of  the  sepulchre,  and 
we  know  not  where  they  have  laid  him. 

3  ''Pe'ter  therefore  went  forth,  and  that  other  disciple,  and 
came  to  the  sepulchre. 

4  So  they  ran  both  together:  and  the  other  disciple  did 
outrun  Pe'ter,  and  came  first  to  the  sepulchre. 

5  And  he  stooping  down,  and  looking  in,  saw  ''the  linen 
clothes  lying ;  yet  went  he  not  in. 

6  Then  cometh  Si'mon  Pe'ter  following  him,  and  went  into 
the  sepulchre,  and  seeth  the  linen  clothes  lie, 

7  And  'the  napkin,  that  was  about  his  head,  not  lying 
with  the  linen  clothes,  but  wrapped  together  in  a  place  by 
itself. 

8  Then  went  in  also  that  other  disciple,  which  came  first 
to  the  sepulchre,  and  he  saw,  and  believed. 

9  For  as  yet  they  knew  not  the  'Scripture,  that  he  must 
rise  again  from  the  dead. 

10  Then  the  disciples  went  away  again  unto  their  own 
home. 


28  After  this  Jesus,  knowing  that  all  things  are  now 
finished,  that  the  scripture  might  be   accomplished, 

29  saith,  I  thirst.  There  was  set  there  a  vessel  full  of 
vinegar :  so  they  put  a  sponge  full  of  the  vinegar 

30  upon  hyssop,  and  brought  it  to  his  mouth.  When 
Jesus  therefore  had  received  the  vinegar,  he  said.  It 
is  finished :  and  he  bowed  his  head,  and  gave  up  his 
spirit. 

31  The  Jews  therefore,  because  it  was  the  Prepara- 
tion, that  the  bodies  should  not  remain  on  the  cross 
upon  the  sabbath  (for  the  day  of  that  sabbath  was  a 
high  day),  asked  of  Pi'late  that  their  legs  might  be 

32  broken,  and  that  they  might  be  taken  away.  The 
soldiers  therefore  came,  and  brake  the  legs  of  the 
first,  and  of  the  other  which  was  crucified  with  him: 

33  but  when  they  came  to  Jesus,  and  saw  that  he  was 

34  dead  already,  they  brake  not  his  legs :  howbeit  one 
of  the  soldiers  with  a  spear  pierced  his  side,  and 

35  straightway  there  came  out  blood  and  water.  And 
he  that  hath  seen  hath  borne  witness,  and  his  wit- 
ness is  true  :  and  he  knoweth  that  he  saith  true,  that 

36  ye  also  may  believe.  For  these  things  came  to  pass, 
that  the  scripture  might  be  fulfilled,  A  bone  of  him 

37  shall  not  be  'broken.  And  again  another  scrip- 
ture saith.  They  shall  look  on  him  whom  they 
pierced. 

38  And  after  these  things  Jo'seph  of  Ar-i-ma-thse'a, 
being  a  disciple  of  Jesus,  but  secretly  for  fear  of  the 
Jews,  asked  of  Pi'late  that  he  might  take  away  the 
body  of  Jesus :  and  Pi'late  gave  him  leave.     He  came 

39  therefore,  and  took  away  his  body.  And  there 
came  also  Nic-o-de'mus,  he  who  at  the  first  came  to 
him  by  night,  bringing  a  'mixture   of  myrrh   and 

40  aloes,  about  a  hundred  pound  weight.  So  they  took 
the  body  of  Jesus,  and  bound  it  in  linen  cloths  with 
the  spices,  as  the  custom  of  the  Jews  is  to  bury. 

41  Now  in  the  place  where  he  was  crucified  there  was 
a  garden;    and  in  the  garden  a  new  tomb  wherein 

42  was  never  man  yet  laid.  There  then  because  of  the 
Jews'  Preparation  (for  the  tomb  was  nigh  at  hand) 
they  laid  Jesus. 

m\)  Now  on  the  first  day  of  the  week  cometh  Ma'ry 
Mag-da-le'ne  early,  while  it  was  yet  dark,  unto  the 
tomb,  and  seeth   the  stone   taken  away   from    the 

2  tomb.  She  runneth  therefore,  and  cometh  to  Si'mon 
Pe'ter,  and  to  the  other  disciple,  whom  Jesus  loved, 
and  saith  unto  them,  They  have  taken  away  the 
Lord  out  of  the  tomb,  and  we  know  not  where  they 

3  have  laid  him.     Pe'ter  therefore  went  forth,  and  the 

4  other  disciple,  and  they  went  toward  the  tomb.  And 
they  ran  both  together:  and  the  other  disciple  out- 

5  ran  Pe'ter,  and  came  first  to  the  tomb ;  and  stooping 
and  looking  in,  he  seeth  the  linen  cloths  lying;  yet 

6  entered  he  not  in.  Si'mon  Pe'ter  therefore  also  com- 
eth, following  hJtai,  and  entered  into  the  tomb ;  and 

7  he  beholdeth  the  linen  cloths  lying,  and  the  napkin, 
that  was  upon  his  head,  not  lying  with   the    linen 

8  cloths,  but  rolled  up  in  a  place  by  itself.  Then 
entered  in  therefore  the  other  disciple  also,  which 
came  first  to  the  tomb,  and  he  saw,  and   believed. 

9  For  as  yet  they  knew  not  the  scripture,  that  he  must 
10  rise  again   from  the  dead.     So  the  disciples  wentt 

away  again  unto  their  own  home.  )

11  ^"But  Ma'ry  stood  without  at  the  sepulchre  weeping: 
and  as  she  wept,  she  stooped  down,  and  looked  into  the 
sepulchre, 

12  And  seeth  two  angels  in  white  sitting,  the  one  at  the 
head,  and  the  other  at  the  feet,  where  the  body  of  Jesus  had 
lain. 

13  And  they  say  unto  her,  Woman,  why  weepest  thou? 
She  saith  unto  them,  Because  they  have  taken  away  my 
Lord,  and  I  know  not  where  they  have  laid  him. 

14  ''And  when  she  had  thus  said,  she  turned  herself  back, 
and  saw  Jesus  standing,  and  'knew  not  that  it  was  Jesus. 

15  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Woman,  why  weepest  thou? 
whom  seekest  thou  ?  She,  supposing  him  to  be  the  gar- 
dener, saith  unto  him.  Sir,  if  thou  have  borne  him  hence, 
tell  me  where  thou  hast  laid  him,  and  I  will  take  him  away. 

16  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Ma'ry.  She  turned  herself,  and 
saith  unto  him,  Rab-bo'ni,  which  is  to  say,  Master. 

17  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Touch  me  not:  for  I  am  not  yet 
ascended  to  my  Father:  but  go  to  'my  brethren,  and  say 
unto  them,  'I  ascend  unto  my  Father,  and  your  Father;  and 
to  "my  God,  and  your  God. 

18  "Ma'ry  Mag-da-le'ne  came  and  told  the  disciples  that 
she  had  seen  the  Lord,  and  that  he  had  spoken  these  things 
unto  her. 

19  ^°Then  the  same  day  at  evening,  being  the  first  day  of 
the  week,  when  the  doors  were  shut  where  the  disciples 
were  assembled  for  fear  of  the  Jews,  came  Jesus  and  stood 
in  the  midst,  and  saith  unto  them.  Peace  be  unto  you. 

20  And  when  he  had  so  said,  he  shewed  unto  them  his 
hands  and  his  side.  "Then  were  the  disciples  glad,  when 
they  saw  the  Lord. 

21  Then  said  Jesus  to  them  again.  Peace  be  unto  you :  'as 
my  Father  hath  sent  me,  even  so  send  I  you. 

22  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  breathed  on  them,  and 
saith  unto  them,  Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost ; 

23  ''Whosesoever  sins  ye  remit,  they  are  remitted  unto 
them ;  and  whosesoever  sins  ye  retain,  they  are  retained. 

24  ^But  Thom'as,  one  of  the  twelve,  'called  Did'y-mus, 
was  not  with  them  when  Jesus  came. 

25  The  other  disciples  therefore  said  unto  him,  We  have 
seen  the  Lord.  But  he  said  unto  them.  Except  I  shall  see 
in  his  hands  the  print  of  the  nails,  and  put  my  finger  into 
the  print  of  the  nails,  and  thrust  my  hand  into  his  side,  I 
will  not  believe. 

26  •[[And  after  eight  days  again  his  disciples  were  within, 
and  Thom'as  with  them :  then  came  Jesus,  the  doors  being 
shut,  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and  said.  Peace  be  unto  you. 

27  Then  saith  he  to  Thom'as,  Reach  hither  thy  finger,  and 
behold  my  hands ;  and  'reach  hither  thy  hand,  and  thrust 
it  into  my  side ;  and  be  not  faithless,  but  believing. 

28  And  Thom'as  answered  and  said  unto  him,  My  Lord 
and  my  God. 

29  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Thom'as,  because  thou  hast  seen 
me,  thou  hast  believed :  "blessed  are  they  that  have  not 
seen,  and  yet  have  believed. 

30  ^""And  many  other  signs  truly  did  Jesus  in  the  pres- 
ence of  his  disciples,  which  are  not  written  in  this  book : 

31  •'But  these  are  written,  that  ye  might  believe  that  Jesus 
is  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God ;  "and  that  believing  ye  might 
have  life  through  his  name. 

CHAPTER    XXI. 

Christ  again  appeareik  to  his  disciples. 

AFTER  these  things  Jesus  shewed  himself  again  to  the 
disciples  at  the  sea  of  Ti-be'ri-as;  and   on  this  wise 
shewed  he  himself. 

2  There  were  together  Si'mon  Pe'ter,  and  Thom'as  called 
Did'y-mus,  and  "Na-than'a-el  of  Ca'na  in  Gal'i-lee,  and  'the 
sons  of  Zeb'e-dee,  and  two  other  of  his  disciples. 

3  Si'mon  Pe'ter  saith  unto  them,  I  go  a  fishing.     They  say 


11  But  Ma'ry  was  standing  without  at  the  tomb 
weeping:  so,  as  she  wept,   she  stooped  and  looked 

12 into  the  tomb;  and  she  beholdeth  two  angels  in 
white  sitting,  one  at  the  head,  and  one  at  the  feet, 

13  where  the  body  of  Jesus  had  lain.  And  they  say 
unto  her.  Woman,  why  weepest  thou?  She  saith 
unto  them,  Because  they  have  taken  away  my  Lord, 

14  and  I  know  not  where  they  have  laid  him.  When 
she  had  thus  said,  she  turned  herself  back,  and  be- 
holdeth Jesus  standing,  and  knew  not  that  it  was 

15  Jesus.  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Woman,  why  weepest 
thou?  whom  seekest  thou?  She,  supposing  him  to 
be  the  gardener,  saith  unto  him,  Sir,  if  thou  hast 
borne  him  hence,  tell  me  where  thou  hast  laid  him, 

16  and  I  will  take  him  away.  Jesus  saith  unto  her, 
Ma'ry.     She  turneth  herself,  and  saith  unto  him  in 

17  He'brew,  Rab-bo'ni ;  which  is  to  say,  'Master.  Jesus 
saith  to  her,  ^ouch  me  not;  for  I  am  not  yet  as- 
cended unto  the  Father:  but  go  unto  my  brethren, 
and  say  to  them,  I  ascend  unto  my  Father  and  your 

18  Father,  and  my  God  and  your  God.  Ma'ry  Mag- 
da-le'ne  cometh  and  telleth  the  disciples,  I  have  seen 
the  Lord ;  and  how  that  he  had  said  these  things 
unto  her. 

19  When  therefore  it  was  evening,  on  that  day,  the 
first  day  of  the  week,  and  when  the  doors  were  shut 
where  the  disciples  were,  for  fear  of  the  Jews,  Jesus 
came  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and  saith  unto  them, 

20 Peace  be  unto  you.  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he 
shewed  unto  them  his  hands  and  his  side.  The 
disciples   therefore    were   glad,  when   they  saw  the 

21  Lord.  Jesus  therefore  said  to  them  again.  Peace  be 
unto  you :  as  the  Father  hath  sent  me,  even  so  send 

22 1  you.  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  breathed  on 
them,  and  saith  unto,  them.  Receive  ye  the  'Holy 

23  Ghost :  whose  soever  sins  ye  forgive,  they  are  for- 
given unto  them ;  whose  soever  sins  ye  retain,  they 
are  retained. 

24  But  Thom'as,  one  of  the  twelve,  called  <Did'y-mus, 

25  was  not  with  them  when  Jesus  came.  The  other 
disciples  therefore  said  unto  him,  We  have  seen  the 
Lord.  But  he  said  unto  them.  Except  I  shall  see 
in  his  hands  the  print  of  the  nails,  and  put  my  finger 
into  the  print  of  the  nails,  and  put  my  hand  into  his 
side,  I  will  not  believe. 

26  And  after  eight  days  again  his  disciples  were 
within,  and  Thom'as  with  them.  Jesus  cometh,  the 
doors  being  shut,  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and  said, 

27  Peace  be  unto  you.  Then  saith  he  to  Thomas, 
Reach  hither  thy  finger,  and  see  my  hands;  and 
reach  hither  thy  hand,  and  put  it  into  my  side :  and 

28  be  not  faithless,  but  believing.     Thom'as  answered 

29  and  said  unto  him.  My  Lord  and  my  God,  Jesus 
saith  unto  him.  Because  thou  hast  seen  me,  *thou 
hast  believed :  blessed  are  they  that  have  not  seen, 
and  yet  have  believed. 

30  Many  other  signs  therefore  did  Jesus  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  disciples,  which  are  not  written  in  this 

31  book :  but  these  are  written,  that  ye  may  believe  that 
Jesus  is  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God ;  and  that  be- 
lieving ye  may  have  life  in  his  name. 

«-!-  After  these  things  Jesus  manifested  himself  again 
to  the   disciples  at  the  sea  of  Ti-be'ri-as;  and  he 

2  manifested  himself  on  this  wise.  There  were  to- 
gether Si'mon  Pe'ter,  and  Thom'as  called  <Did'y-mus, 
and  Na-than'a-el  of  Ca'na  in  Gal'i-lee,  and  the  sons  of 

3  Zeb'e-dee,  and  two  other  of  his  disciples.  Si'mon 
Pe'ter  saith  unto  them,  I  go  a  fishing.     They  say

unto  him,  We  also  go  with  thee.  They  went  forth,  and  en- 
tered into  a  ship  immediately;  and  that  night  they  caught 
nothing. 

4  But  when  the  morning  was  now  come,  Jesus  stood  on 
the  shore;  but  the  disciples  "knew  not  that  it  was  Jesus. 

5  Then  ''Jesus  saith  unto  them,  ||  Children, -have  ye  any 
meat?     They  answered  him,  No. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them,  'Cast  the  net  on  the  right  side 
of  the  ship,  and  ye  shall  find.  They  cast  therefore,  and  now 
they  were  not  able  to  draw  it  for  the  multitude  of  fishes. 

7  Therefore  -^^that  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved  saith  unto 
Pe'ter,  It  is  the  Lord.  Now  when  Si'mon  Pe'ter  heard  that 
it  was  the  Lord,  he  girt  his  fisher's  coat  unto  him,  (for  he 
was  naked,)  and  did  cast  him.self  into  the  sea. 

8  And  the  other  disciples  came  in  a  little  ship,  (for  they 
were  not  far  from  land,  but  as  it  were  two  hundred  cubits,) 
dragging  the  net  with  fishes. 

9  As  soon  then  as  they  were  come  to  land,  they  saw  a  fire 
of  coals  there,  and  fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread. 

10  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Bring  of  the  fish  which  ye  have 
now  caught. 

11  Si'mon  Pe'ter  went  up,  and  drew  the  net  to  land  full  of 
great  fishes,  a  hundred  and  fifty  and  three :  and  for  all  there 
were  so  many,  yet  was  not  the  net  broken. 

12  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "Come  and  dine.  And  none  of 
the  disciples  durst  ask  him.  Who  art  thou?  knowing  that  it 
was  the  Lord. 

13  Jesus  then  cometh,  and  taketh  bread,  and  giveth  them, 
and  fish  likewise. 

14  This  is  now  *the  third  time  that  Jesus  shewed  himself 
to  his  disciples,  after  that  he  was  risen  from  the  dead. 

15  So  when  they  had  dined,  Jesus  saith  to  Si'mon  Pe'ter, 
Si'mon  son  of  Jo'nas,  lovest  thou  me  more  than  these?  He 
saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord ;  thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee. 
He  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  lambs. 

16  He  saith  to  him  again  the  second  time,  Si'mon  son  of 
Jo'nas,  lovest  thou  me?  He  saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord; 
thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee.  'He  saith  unto  him.  Feed 
my  sheep. 

17  He  saith  unto  him  the  third  time,  Si'mon  son  of  Jo'nas, 
lovest  thou  me?  Pe'ter  was  grieved  because  he  said  unto 
him  the  third  time,  Lovest  thou  me?  And  he  said  unto 
him,  Lord,  *thou  knowest  all  things;  thou  knowest  that  I 
love  thee.     Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep. 

18  'Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee.  When  thou  wa.st  young, 
thou  girdedst  thyself,  and  walkedst  whither  thou  wouldest : 
but  when  thou  shalt  be  old,  thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thy 
hands,  and  another  shall  gird  thee,  and  carry  thee  whither 
thou  wouldest  not. 

19  This  spake  he,  signifying  "by  what  death  he  should 
glorify  God.  And  when  he  had  spoken  this,  he  saith  unto 
him.  Follow  me. 

20  Then  Pe'ter,  turning  about,  seeth  the  disciple  "whom 
Jesus  loved  following;  which  also  leaned  on  his  brea.st  at 
supper,  and  said.  Lord,  which  is  he  that  betrayeth  thee? 

21  Pe'ter  seeing  him  saith  to  Jesu.s,  Lord,  and  what  shall 
this  man  do  f 

Tl  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  "till  I  come, 
what  is  that  to  thee?  follow  thou  me. 

23  Then  went  this  saying  abroad  among  the  brethren,  that 
that  disciple  should  not  die :  yet  Jesus  said  not  unto  him, 
He  shall  not  die;  but.  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come, 
what  is  that  to  thee? 

24  This  is  the  di-sciple  which  testifieth  of  the-se  things,  and 
wrote  these  things:  and  "we  know  that  his  testimony  is  true. 

25  »And  there  are  also  many  other  things  which  Jesus 
did,  the  which,  if  they  should  be  written  every  one,  'I  sup- 
pose that  even  the  world  itself  could  not  contain  the  books 
that  should  be  written.     Amen. 


unto  him.  We  also  come  with  thee.  They  went  forth, 

and  entered  into  the  boat ;  and  that  night  they  took 
4  nothing.     But    when  day  was  now  breaking,  Jesus 

stood  on  the  beach :  howbeit  the  disciples  knew  not 
6  that  it  was  Jesus.     Jesus  therefore  saith  unto  them, 

Children,  have  ye  aught  to  eat?  They  answsred  him, 

6  No.  And  he  said  unto  them,  Cast  the  net  on  the  right 
side  of  the  boat,  and  ye  shall  find.  They  cast  there- 
fore, and  now  they  were  not  able  to  draw  it  for  the 

7  multitude  of  fishes.  That  disciple  therefore  whom 
Jesus  loved  saith  unto  Pe'ter,  It  is  the  Lord.  So  when 
Si'mon  Pe'ter  heard  that  it  was  the  Lord,  he  girt  his 
coat  about  him  (for  he  was  naked),  and  cast  himself 

8  into  the  sea.  But  the  other  disciples  came  in  the 
little  boat  (for  they  were  not  far  from  the  land,  but 
about  two  hundred  cubits  off),  dragging  the  net  ftdl 

9  of  fishes.  So  when  they  got  out  upon  the  land,  they 
see  'a  fire  of  coals  there,  and  ^fish  laid  thereon,  and 

lO^bread.     Jesus   saith    unto  them,  Bring  of  the  fish 

1 1  which  ye  have  now  taken.  Si'mon  Pe'ter  therefore 
went  *up,  and  drew  the  net  to  land,  full  of  great  fishes, 
a  hundred  and  fifty  and  three  :   and  for  all  there  were 

12  so  many,  the  net  was  not  rent.  Jesus  saith  unto 
them,  Come  and  break  your  fa.st.  And  none  of  the 
disciples  durst  inquire  of  him.  Who  art  thou?  know- 

13ing  that  it  was  the  Lord.  Jesus  cometh,  and  taketh 
the  'bread,  and  giveth  them,  and   the  fish   likewise. 

14  This  is  now  the  third  time  that  Jesus  was  mani- 
fested to  the  disciples,  after  that  he  was  risen  from 
the  dead. 

15  So  when  they  had  broken  their  fa.st,  Jesus  saith  to 
Si'mon  Pe'ter,  Si'mon,  son  of  *John,  'lovest  thou  me 
more  than  these?  He  saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord  ; 
thou  know&st  that  I  *love  thee.     He  saith  unto  him, 

16  Feed  my  lambs.  He  saith  to  him  again  a  second 
time,  Si'mon,  son  of  *John,  Hovest  thou  me?  He 
saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord;   thou  knowest  that  I  'love 

17  thee.  He  saith  unto  hita,  Tend  my  sheep.  He  saith 
unto  him  the  third  time,  Si'mon,  son  of  *John,*lovest 
thou  me?  Pe'ter  was  grieved  because  he  said  unto 
him  the  third  time,  'Lovest  thou  me?  And  he  said 
unto  him.  Lord,  thou  knowest  all  things;  thou 
'knowest  that  I  *love  thee.     Jesus  saith  unto  him, 

18  Feed  my  sheep.  Verily,  verily,  I  .say  unto  thee, 
When  thou  wast  young,  thou  girdedst  thyself,  and 
walkedst  whither  thou  wouldest:  but  when  thou 
shalt  be  old,  thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and 
another  shall  gird  thee,  and  carry  thee  whither  thou 

19  wouldest  not.  Now  this  he  spake,  signifying  by  what 
manner  of  death  he  should  glorify  God.  And  when 
he  had  spoken  this,  he  saith  unto  him.  Follow  me. 

20  Pe'ter,  turning  about,  seeth  the  disciple  whom  Jesus 
loved  following ;  which  also  leaned  back  on  his  breast 
at  the  supper,  and  said.  Lord,  who  is  he  that  betrayeth 

21  thee?     Pe'ter    therefore  seeing  him  .saith  to  Jesus, 
22 Lord,  '"and  what  shall  this  man  do?    Jesus  saith 

unto  him.  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is 
23 that  to  thee?  follow  thou  me.  This  saying  therefore 
went  forth  among  the  brethren,  that  that  di.sciple 
should  not  die :  yet  Jesus  said  hot  unto  him,  that  he 
should  not  die ;  but.  If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come, 
what  is  that  to  thee? 

24  This  is  the  disciple  which  beareth  witness  of  these 
things,  and  wrote  these  things:  and  we  know  that 
his  witness  is  true.  . 

25  And  there  are  also  many  other  things  which  Jesus 
did,  the  which  if  they  should  be  written  every  one, 
I  suppose  that  even  the  world  itself  would  not  con- 
tain the  books  that  should  be  written.  I

Acts  of  the  Apostles. 


CHAF»TER   I. 

The  ascension  of  Christ. 

niHE  former  treatise  have  I  made,  O  "The-oph'i-lus,  of 
J-    all  that  Jesus  began  both  to  do  and  teach, 

2  *Until  the  day  in  which  he  was  taken  up,  aft«r  that  he 
through  the  Holy  Ghost  "^had  given  commandments  unto 
the  apostles  whom  he  had  chosen : 

3  ''To  whom  also  he  shewed  himself  alive  after  his  passion, 
by  many  infallible  proofs,  being  seen  of  them  forty  days,  and 
speaking  of  the  things  pertaining  to  the  kingdom  of  God : 

4  'And,  II  being  assembled  together  with  <Ae?n,  commanded 
themthattheyshouldnotdepart  from  Je-ru'sa-lem,  but  wait  for 
the  promise  of  the  Father,  which,^«az<A  he,  ye  have  heard  of  me. 

5  "For  John  truly  baptized  with  water;  ''but  ye  shall  be 
baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost  not  many  days  hence. 

6  When  they  therefore  were  come  together,  they  asked 
of  him,  saying,  'Lord,  wilt  thou  at  this  time  'restore  again 
the  kingdom  to  Is'ra-el  ? 

7  And  he  said  unto  them,  'It  is  not  for  you  to  know  the 
times  or  the  seasons,  which  the  Father  hath  put  in  his  own 
power. 

8  ""But  ye  shall  receive  ||  power,  "after  that  the  Holy  Ghost 
is  come  upon  you:  and  "ye  shall  be  witnesses  unto  me, 
both  in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  in  all  Ju-de'a,  and  in  Sa-ma'ri-a, 
and  unto  the  uttermost  part  of  the  earth, 

9  "And  when  he  had  spoken  these  things,  while  they  be- 
held, «he  was  taken  up;  and  a  cloud  received  him  out  of 
their  sight. 

10  And  while  they  looked  steadfastly  toward  heaven  as  he 
went  up,  behold,  two  men  stood  by  them  "^in  white  apparel ; 

11  Which  also  said,  'Ye  men  of  Gal'i-lee,  why  stand  ye 
gazing  up  into  heaven  ?  this  same  Jesus  which  is  taken  up 
from  you  into  heaven,  'shall  so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye 
have  seen  him  go  into  heaven. 

12  "Then  returned  they  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  from  the  mount 
called  Ori-vet,which  is  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  a  sabbath  day'sjourney . 

13  And  when  they  were  come  in,  they  went  up  ''into  an 
upper  room,  where  abode  both  "Pe'ter,  and  James,  and  John, 
and  An'drew,  Phil'ip,  and  Thom'as,  Bar-thol'o-mew,  and 
Mat'thew,  James  ihe  son  of  Al-phe'us,  and  'Si'mon  Ze-lo'tes, 
and  "Ju'das  the  brother  of  James. 

14  ''These  all  continued  with  one  accord  in  prayer  and 
supplication,  with  "the  women,  and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of 
Jesus,  and  with  ''his  brethren. 

15  i[And  in  those  days  JP«?'ter  stood  up  in  the  midst  of  the 
distsiples,  and  said,  (the  number  'of  the  names  together  were 
aboFit  a  hundred  and  twenty), 

16  Men  and  brethren,  this  Scripture  must  needs  have  been 
fulfilled,  'which  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the  mouth  of  Da'vid 
spake  before  concerning  Ju'das,  "which  was  guide  to  them 
that  took  Jesus. 

17  For  *he  was  numbered  with  us,  and  had  obtained  part 
of  'this  ministry. 

18  *Now  this  man  purchased  a  field  with  'the  reward  of 
iniquity;  and  falling  headlong,  he  burst  asunder  in  the 
midst,  and  all  his  bowels  gushed  out. 

19  And  it  was  known  unto  all  the  dwellers  at  Je-ru'sa-lem ; 
insomuch  as  that  fi^d  is  called  in  their  proper  tongue, 
A-cel'da-ma,  that  is  to  say.  The  field  of  blood. 

20  For  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  Psalms,  ""Let  his  habi- 
tation be  desolate,  and  let  no  man  dwell  therein :  and,  "His 
II  hishoprick  let  another  take.

Acts  of  the  ApOvSTles. 


4-  The  'former  treatise  I  made,  O  The-oph'i-lus,  con- 
concerning  all  that  Jesus  began  both  to  do  and  to  teach, 

2  until  the  day  in  which  he  was  received  up  after  that 
he  had  given  commandment  through  the  ^Holy  Ghost 

3  unto  the  apostles  whom  he  had  chosen :  to  whom  he 
also  'shewed  himself  alive  after  his  passion  by  many 
proofs,  appearing  unto  them  by  the  space  of  forty 
days,  and  speaking  the  things  concerning  the  king- 

4  dom  of  God :  and,  *being  assembled  together  with 
them,hecharged  them  not  todepart  from  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
but  to  wait  for  the  promise  of  the  Father,  which,  snjtf 

5  he,  ye  heard  from  me :  for  John  indeed  baptized  with 
water;  but  ye  shall  be  baptized  'with  the  Holy  Ghost 
not  many  days  hence. 

6  They  therefore,  when  they  were  come  together, 
asked  him,  saying,  Lord,  dost  thou  at  this  time  re- 

7  storethe  kingdom  to  Is'ra-el?  And  he  said  unto  them, 
It  is  not  for  you  to  know  times  or  seasons,  which  the 

8  Father  hath  *set  within  his  own  authority.  But  ye 
shall  receive  poAver,  when  the  Holy  Ghost  is  come 
upon  you :  and  ye  shall  be  my  witnesses  both  in 
Je-ru'salem,  and  in  all  Ju-dse'a  and  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  n  nto 

9  the  uttermost  part  of  the  earth.  And  when  he  had 
said  these  things,  as  they  were  looking,  he  was  taken 
up ;  and  a  cloud  received  him   out  of  their  sight. 

10  And  while  they  were  looking  stedfastly  into  heaven 
as  he  went,  behold,  two  men  stood  by  them  in  white 

11  apparel;  which  also  said.  Ye  men  of  Gal'i-lee,  why 
stand  ye  looking  into  heaven?  this  Jesus,  which  was 
received  up  from  you  into  heaven,  shall  so  come  in 
like  manner  as  ye  beheld  him  going  into  heaven. 

12  Then  returned  they  unto  Je-ru'sa-lera  from  themount 
called  Ol'i-vet,  which  is  nigh  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  a  sab- 

13  bath  day'sjourney  off.  And  when  they  were  come 
in,  they  went  up  into  the  upper  chamber,  where  they 
were  abiding  ;  both  Pe'ter  and  John  and  James  and 
An'drew,  Phil'ip  and  Thom'as,  Bar-thol'o-mew  and 
Mat'thew,  James  the  son  of  Al-phse'us,  and  Si'mon  the 

14  Zealot,  and  Ju'das  the  ''son  of  James.  These  all  with 
one  accord  continued  stedfastly  in  prayer,  'with  the 
women,  and  Ma'ry  the  mother  of  Jesus,  and  with  his 
brethren. 

15  And  in  these  days  Pe'ter  stood  up  in  the  midst  of 
the  brethren,  and  said  (and  there  was  a  multitude  of 
'persons  gathered    together,   about  a    hundred    and 

16  twenty),  Brethren,  it  was  needful  that  the  scripture 
should  be  fulfilled,  which  the  Holy  Ghost  spake  be- 
fore by  the  mouth  of  Da'vid  concerning  Ju'das,  who 

17  was  guide  to  them  that  took  Jesus.  For  he  was 
numbered  among  us,  and  received  his  '°po''tioD  in  this 

18  ministry.  (Now  this  man  obtained  a  field  with  the 
reward  of  his  iniquity ;  and  falling  headlong,  he  burst 
asunder  in  the  midst,  and  all  his  bowels  gushed  out. 

19  And  it  became  known  to  all  the  dwellers  at  Je-ru'sa- 
lem;  insomuch  that  in  their  language  that  field  was 

20  called  A-kel'da-ma,  that  is,  The  field  of  blood.)  For 
it  is  written  in  the  book  of  Psalms, 

Let  his  habitation  be  made  desolate, 
And  let  no  man  dwell  therein : 
and, 

His  "office  let  another  take.

21  Wherefore  of  these  men  which  have  companied  with  us, 
all  the  time  that  the  Lord  Jesus  went  in  and  out  among  us, 

22  "Beginning  from  the  baptism  of  John,  unto  that  same 
day  that  ''he  was  taken  up  from  us,  must  one  be  ordained 
'to  be  a  witness  with  us  of  his  resurrection. 

23  And  they  appointed  two,  Jo'seph  called  ""Bar'sa-bas, 
who  was  surnamed  Jus'tus,  and  Mat-thi'as. 

24  And  they  prayed,  and  said,  Thou,  Lord,  'which  knowest 
the  hearts  of  all  men,  shew  whether  of  these  two  thou  hast 
chosen, 

25  'That  he  may  take  part  of  this  ministry  and  apostle- 
ship,  from  which  Ju'das  by  transgression  fell,  that  he  might 
go  to  his  own  place. 

26  And  they  gave  forth  their  lots;  and  the  lot  fell  upon 
Mat-thi'as;  and  he  was  numbered  with  the  eleven  apostles. 

CHAPTER   II. 

The  apostles,  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  speak  divers  languages — Peter^s  sermon. 

AND  when  "the   day   of  Pentecost  was   fully  come,  Hhey 
were  all  with  one  accord  in  one  place. 

2  And  suddenly  there  came  a  sound  from  heaven,  as  of  a 
rushing  mighty  wind,  and  "it  filled  all  the  house  where  they 
were  sitting. 

3  And  there  appeared  unto  them  cloven  tongues  like  as 
of  fire,  and  it  sat  upon  each  of  them. 

4  And  ''they  were  all  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
began  'to  speak  with'  other  tongues,  as  the  Spirit  gave 
them  utterance. 

5  And  there  were  dwelling  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  Jews,  devout 
men,  out  of  every  nation  under  heaven. 

6  Now  fwhen  this  was  noised  abroad,  the  multitude  came 
together,  and  were  ||  confounded,  because  that  every  man 
heard  them  speak  in  his  own  language. 

7  And  they  were  all  amazed  and  marvelled,  saying  one  to 
another.  Behold,  are  not  all  these  which  speak -'Gal-i-le'ans  ? 

8  And  how  hear  we  every  man  in  our  own  tongue,  wherein 
we  were  born  ? 

9  Par'thi-ans,  and  Medes,  and  E'lam-ites,  and  the  dwellers 
in  Me.s-o-po-ta'mi-a,  and  in  Ju-de'a,  and  Cap-pa-do'ci-a,  in 
Pon'tus,  and  A'si-a, 

10  Phryg'i-a,  and  Pam-phyl'i-a,  in  E'gypt,  and  in  the 
parts  of  Lib'y-a  about  Cy-re'ne,  and  strangers  of  Rome, 
Jews  and  proselytes, 

11  Cretes  and  A-ra'bi-ans,  we  do  hear  them  speak  in  our 
tongues  the  wonderful  works  of  God. 

12  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and  were  in  doubt,  saying 
one  to  another.  What  meaneth  this? 

13  Others  mocking  said,  These  men  are  full  of  new  wine. 

14  %But  Pe'ter,  standing  up  with  the  eleven,  lifted  up  his 
voice,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye  men  of  Ju-de'a,  and  all  ye 
that  dwell  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  be  this  known  unto  you,  and 
hearken  to  my  words: 

15  For  these  are  not  drunken,  as  ye  suppose,  'seeing  it  is 
but  the  third  hour  of  the  day. 

16  But  this  is  that  which  was  spoken  by  the  prophet  Jo'el ; 

17  *And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the  last  days,  saith  God, 
'I  will  pour  out  of  my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh  :  and  your  sous 
and  *your  daughters  shall  prophesy,  and  your  young  men 
shall  see  visions,  and  your  old  men  shall  dream  dreams: 

18  And  on  my  servants  and  on  my  handmaidens  I  will 
pour  out  in  those  days  of  my  Spirit;  'and  they  shall 
prophesy : 

19  "And  I  will  shew  wonders  in  heaven  above,  and  signs 
in  the  earth  beneath  ;  blood,  and  fire,  and  vapour  of  smoke: 

20  "The  sun  shall  be  turned  into  darkness,  and  the  moon 
into  blood,  before  that  great  and  notable  day  of  the  Lord 
come: 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  "whosoever  shall  call 
on  the  name  of  the  Lord  shall  be  saved. 


21  Of  the  men  therefore  which  have  companied  with 
US  all  the   time  that   the  Lord  Jesus  went  in  and 

22  went  out  'among  us,  beginning  from  the  baptism 
of  John,  unto  the  day  that  he  was  received  up  from 
us,  of  these  must  one  become  a  witness  with  us  of 

23  his  resurrection.  And  they  put  forward  two,  Jo'seph 
called  Bar-sab'bas,  who  was  surnamed  Jus'tus,  and 

24  Mat-thi'as.  And  they  prayed,  and  said.  Thou,  Lord, 
which  knowest  the  hearts  of  all  men,  shew  of  these 

25  two  the  one  whom  thou  hast  chosen,  to  take  the 
place  in  this  ministry  and  apostleship,  from  which 
Ju'das  fell  away,  that  he  might  go  to  his  own  place. 

26  And  they  gave  lots  ^for  them ;  and  the  lot  fell  upon 
Mat-thi'as;  and  he  was  numbered  with  the  eleven 
apostles. 

•4     And  when  the  day  of  Pentecost  'was  now  come, 

2  they  were  all  together  in  one  place.  And  suddenly 
there  came  from  heaven  a  sound  as  of  the  rushing 
of  a  mighty  wind,  and   it  filled  all  the  house  where 

3  they  were  sitting.  And  there  appeared  unto  them 
tongues,  ^parting  asunder,  like  as  of  fire ;  and  it  sat 

4  upon  each  one  of  them.  And  they  were  all  filled 
with  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  began  to  speak  with  other 
tongues,  as  the  Spirit  gave  them  utterance. 

5  Now  there  Avere  dwelling  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  Jews,  de- 
6vout  men,  from  every  nation  under  heaven.     And 

when  this  sound  was  heard,  the  multitude  came  to- 
gether, and  were  confounded,  because  that  every 
man    heard   them   speaking   in    his   own  language. 

7  And  they  were  all  amazed  and  marvelled,  saying, 
Behold,  are  not  all  these  which  speak  Gal-i-lae'ans  ? 

8  And  how  hear  we,  every  man  in  our  own  language, 

9  wherein  we  were  born  ?  Par'thi-ans  and  Medes  and 
E'lam-ites,  and  the  dwellers  in  Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a,  in 
Ju-dse'a  and  Cap-pa-do'ci-a,  in   Pon'tus  and  A'si-a, 

10  in  Phryg'i-a  and  Pam-phyl'i-a,  in  E'gypt  and  the 
parts  of  Lib'y-a  about  Cy-re'ne,  and  sojourners  from 

11  Rome,  both  Jews  and  proselytes,  Cre'tans  and  A-ra' 
bi-ans,  we  do  hear  them  speaking  in  our  tongues  the 

12  mighty  works  of  God.  And  they  were  all  amazed, 
and  were  perplexed,  saying  one  to  another,  What 

13 meaneth  this?  But  others  mocking  said,  They  are 
filled  with  new  wine. 

14  But  Pe'ter,  standing  up  with  the  eleven,  lifted  up 
his  voice,  and  spake  forth  unto  them,  saying,  Ye 
men  of  Ju-dse'a,  and  all  ye  that  dwell  at  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
be  this  known  unto  you,  and  give  ear  unto  my  words. 

15  For  these  are  not  drunken,  as  ye  suppose  ;  seeing  it 

16  is  but  the  third  hour  of  the  day ;  but  this  is  that 
which  hath  been  spoken  'by  the  prophet  Jo'el ; 

17  And  it  shall  be  in  the  last  days,  saith  God, 

I  will  pour  forth  of  my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh : 
And  your  sons  and  your  daughters  shall  prophesy, 
And  your  young  men  shall  see  visions. 
And  your  old  men  shall  dream  dreams : 

18  Yea  and  on  my  'servants  and  on  my  'handmaidens 

in  those  days 
Will    I   pour  forth  of  my  Spirit;  and  they  shall 
prophesy. 

19  And  I  will  shew  wonders  in  the  heaven  above, 
And  signs  on  the  earth  beneath ; 

Blood,  and  fire,  and  vapour  of  smoke: 

20  The  sun  shall  be  turned  into  darkness, 
And  the  moon  into  blood. 

Before  the  day  of  the  Lord  come, 
That  great  and  notable  day  : 

21  And  it  shall  be,  that  whosoever  shall  call  on  the

22  Ye  men  of  Is'^ra-el,  hear  these  words  j  Jesus  of  Naz'a- 
reth,  a  man  approved  of  God  amone  you  *by  miracles  and 
wonders  and  signs,  which  God  did  by  him  in  the  midst  of 
you,  as  ye  yourselves  also  know : 

23  Him,  'being  delivered  by  the  determinate  counsel  and 
foreknowledge  of  God,  'ye  have  taken,  and  by  wicked  hands 
have  crucified  and  slain  : 

24  'Whom  God  hath  raised  up,  having  loosed  the  pains  of 
death :  because  it  was  not  possible  that  he  should  be  holden 
of  it. 

25  For  Da'vid  speaketh  concerning  him,  'I  foresaw  the 
Lord  always  before  my  face;  for  he  is  on  my  right  hand, 
that  I  should  not  be  moved : 

26  Therefore  did  my  heart  rejoice,  and  my  tongue  was 
glad ;  moreover  also  my  flesh  shall  rest  in  hope : 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul  in  hell,  neither 
wilt  thou  suffer  thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

28  Thou  hast  made  known  to  me  the  ways  of  life;  thou 
shalt  make  me  full  of  joy  with  thy  countenance. 

29  Men  and  brethren,  ||  let  me  freely  speak  unto  you  "of 
the  patriarch  Da'vid,  that  he  is  both  dead  and  buried,  and 
his  sepulchre  is  with  us  unto  this  day. 

30  Therefore  being  a  prophet,  "'and  knowing  that  God  had 
sworn  with  an  oath  to  him,  that  of  the  fruit  of  his  loins,  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh,  he  would  raise  up  Christ  to  sit  on  his 
throne ; 

31  He  seeing  this  before,  spake  of  the  resurrection  of 
Christ,  "that  his  soul  was  not  left  in  hell,  neither  his  flesh 
did  see  corruption. 

32  'This  Jesus  hath  God  raised  up,  "whereof  we  all  are 
witnesses. 

33  Therefore  'being  by  the  right  hand  of  God  exalted,  and 
''having  received  of  the  Father  the  promise  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  he  ''hath  shed  forth  this,  which  ye  now  see  and  hear. 

34  For  Da'vid  is  not  ascended  into  the  heavens:  but  he 
saith  himself,  "The  Lord  saith  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on 
my  right  hand, 

35  Until  I  make  thy  foes  thy  footstool. 

36  Therefore  let  all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  know  assuredly, 
that  God  ■'^hath  made  that  same  Jesus  whom  ye  have  cru- 
cified, both  Lord  and  Christ. 

37  ^Now  when  they  heard  this,  "they  were  pricked  in 
their  heart,  and  said  unto  Pe'ter  and  to  the  rest  of  the 
apostles.  Men  and  brethren,  what  shall  we  do? 

38  Then  Pe'ter  said  unto  them,  *Repent,  and  be  baptized 
every  one  of  you  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  for  the  remis- 
sion of  sins,  and  ye  shall  receive  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

39  For  the  promise  is  unto  you,  and  *to  your  children, 
and  *to  all  that  are  afar  off,  even  as  many  as  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  call. 

40  And  with  many  other  words  did  he  testify  and  exhort, 
saying,  Save  yourselves  from  this  untoward  generation. 

41  •[[Then  they  that  gladly  received  his  word  were  bap- 
tized: and  the  same  day  there  were  added  unto  them  about 
three  thousand  souls. 

42  'And  they  continued  steadfastly  in  the  apostles'  doc- 
trine and  fellowship,  and  in  breaking  of  bread,  and  in  prayers. 

43  And  fear  came  upon  every  soul :  and  "many  wonders 
and  signs  were  done  by  the  apostles. 

44  And  all  that  believed  were  together,  and  "had  all  things 
common ; 

45  And  sold  their  possessions  and  goods,  and  "parted 
them  to  all  men  as  every  man  had  need. 

46  "And  they,  continuing  daily  with  one  accord  «in  the 
temple,  and  ""breaking  bread  ||  from  house  to  house,  did  eat 
their  meat  with  gladness  and  singleness  of  heart, 

47  Praising  God,  and  'having  favour  with  all  the  people. 
And  'the  Lord  added  to  the  church  daily  such  as  should 
be  saved 


and  my  tongue  re- 


22  Ye  men  of  Is'ra-ell,  hear  these  words :  Jesus  of  Naz'a- 
reth,  a  man  approved  of  God  unto  you  by  'mighty 
works  and  wonders  and  signs,  which  God  did  by 
him  in  the   midst  of  you,  even  as   ye  yourselves 

23  know ;    him,   being  delivered   up  by   the   determi 
nate  counsel  and  foreknowledge  of  God,  ye  by  the 

24  hand  of  ^lawless  men  did  crucify  and  slay :  whom 
God  raised  up,  having  loosed  the  pangs  of  death : 
because  it  was  not  possible  that  he  should  be  holden 

25  of  it.     For  Da'vid  saith  concerning  him, 

I  beheld  the  Lord  always  before  my  face ; 
For  he  is  on  my  right  hand,  that  I  should  not  be 
moved : 

26  Therefore  my  heart  was 

joiced ; 
Moreover  my  flesh  also  shall  'dwell  in  hope ; 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul  in  H^'des, 
Neither  wilt  thou  give  thy  Holy  One  to  see  corrup- 
tion. 

28  Thou  madest  known  unto  me  the  ways  of  life; 
Thou   shalt  make  me   full  of  gladness   *with  thy 

countenance. 

29  Brethren,  I  may  say  unto  you  freely  of  the  patriarch 
Da'vid,  that  he  both  died  and  was  buried,  and  hij; 

30  tomb  is  with  us  unto  this  day.  Being  therefore  a 
prophet,  and  knowing  that  God  had  sworn  with  an 
oath  to  him,  that  of  the  fruit  of  his  loins  'he  would 

31  set  one  upon  his  throne ;  he  foreseeing  this  spake  of 
the  resurrection  of  the  Christ,  that  neither  was  he 

32  left  in  Ha'des,  nor  did  his  flesh  see  corruption.  This 
Jesus  did  God  raise  up,  'whereof  we  all  are  witnesses. 

33  Being  therefore  'by  the  right  hand  of  God  exalted, 
and  having  received  of  the  Father  the  promise  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  he  hath  poured  forth  this,  which  ye 

34  see  and  hear.  For  Da'vid  ascended  not  into  the 
heavens :  but  he  saith  himself. 

The   Lord   said   unto   my   Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my 
right  hand, 

35  Till  I  make  thine  enemies  the  footstool  of  thy  feet. 

36  Let  'all  the  house  of  Is'ra-el  therefore  know  as- 
suredly, that  God  hath  made  him  both  Lord  and 
Christ,  this  Jesus  whom  ye  crucified. 

37  Now  when  they  heard  this  they  were  pricked  in 
their  heart,  and  said  unto  Pe'ter  and  the  rest  of  the 

38 apostl&s,  Brethren,  what  shall  we  do?  And  Pe'ter 
said  unto  them.  Repent  ye,  and  be  baptized  every 
one  of  you  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  unto  the  re- 
mission of  your  sins ;  and  ye  shall  receive  the  gift  of 

39  the  Holy  Ghost.  For  to  you  is  the  promise,  and 
to  your  children,  and  to  all  that  are  afar  off,  even  as 
many  as  the  Lord  our  God  shall  call   unto    him. 

40  And  with  many  other  words  he  testified,  and  ex- 
horted  them,   saying,   Save    yourselves    from    this 

41  crooked  generation.  They  then  'that  received  his 
word  were  baptized  :  and  there  were  added  unto  them 

42  in  that  day  about  three  thousand  souls.  And  they 
continued  stedfastly  in  the  apostles'  teaching  and 
'"fellowship,  in  the  breaking  of  bread  and  the  prayers. 

43  And  fear  came  upon  every  soul :  and  many  won- 
44ders  and  signs  were  done  "by  the  apostles'^     And 

all   that  believed   were  together,  and  had  all  things 

45  common  ;  and  they  sold  their  po,s.se.s.sions  and  goods, 
and   parted   them  to  all,  according  as  any  man  had 

46  need.  And  day  by  day,  continuing  .stedfastly  witl. 
one  accord  in  the  temple,  and  breaking  bread  at 
home,  they  did  take  their   food  with  gladness  and 

47  singleness  of  heart,  praising  God,  and  having  favour 
with  all  the  people.  And  the  Lord  added  '4o  them 
day  by  day  those  that  were  being  saved.

CHARTER    III. 

Feter  cureih  a  lame  man,  &c, 

"^TOW  Pe'ter  and  John  went  up  together  "into  the  temple 
-Ll    at  the  hour  of  prayer,  ^being  the  ninth  hour. 

2  And  "a  certain  man  lame  from  his  mother's  womb  was 
carried,  whom  they  laid  daily  at  the  gate  of  the  temple 
which  is  called  Beautiful,  ''to  ask  alms  of  them  that  entered 
into  the  temple ; 

3  Who,  seeing  Pe'ter  and  John  about  to  go  into  the  temple, 
asked  an  alms. 

4  And  Pe'ter,  fastening  his  eyes  upon  him  Avith  John,  said, 
Look  on  us. 

5  And  he  gave  heed  unto  them,  expecting  to  receive  some- 
thing of  them. 

6  Then  Pe'ter  said.  Silver  and  gold  have  I  none;  but  such 
as  I  have  give  I  thee:  'In  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Naz'a-reth,  rise  up  and  walk. 

7  And  he  took  him  by  the  right  hand,  and  lifted  him  up : 
and  immediately  his  feet  and  ankle-bones  received  strength. 

8  And  he  ■''leaping  up  stood,  and  walked,  and  entered  with 
them  into  the  temple,  walking,  and  leaping,  and  praising  God. 

9  "And  all  the  people  saw  him  walking  and  praising  God: 

10  And  they  knew  that  it  was  he  which  ''sat  for  alms  at  the 
Beautiful  gate  of  the  temple  :  and  they  were  filled  with  won- 
der and  amazement  at  that  which  had  happened  unto  him. 

1 1  And  as  the  lame  man  which  was  healed  held  Pe'ter  and 
John,  all  the  people  ran  together  unto  them  in  the  porch 
'that  is  called  Sol'o-mon's,  greatly  wondering. 

12  ^And  when  Pe'ter  saw  it,  he  answered  unto  the  people, 
Ye  men  of  Is'ra-el,  why  marvel  ye  at  this?  or  why  look  ye 
80  earnestly  on  us,  as  though  by  our  own  power  or  holiness 
we  had  made  this  man  to  walk  ? 

13  *The  God  of  A'bra-ham,  and  of  I'saac,  and  of  Ja'cob, 
the  God  of  our  fathers,  'hath  glorified  his  son  Jesus ;  whom 
ye  "delivered  up,  and  "denied  him  in  the  presence  of  Pi'late, 
when  he  was  determined  to  let  him  go. 

14  But  ye  denied  "the  Holy  One,  'and  the  Just,  and  de- 
sired a  murderer  to  be  granted  unto  you  ; 

15  And  killed  the  ||  Prince  of  life,  'whom  God  hath  raised 
from  the  dead ;  'whereof  we  are  witnesses. 

16  'And  his  name,  through  faith  in  his  name,  hath  made 
this  man  strong,  whom  ye  see  and  know:  yea,  the  faith 
which  is  by  him  hath  given  him  this  perfect  soundness  in 
the  presence  of  you  all. 

17  And  now,  brethren,  I  wot  that  'through  ignorance  ye 
did  it,  as  did  also  your  rulers. 

18  But  "those  things  which  God  before  had  shewed  "'by 
the  mouth  of  all  his  prophets,  that  Christ  should  suffer,  he 
hath  so  fulfilled. 

19  ^"Repent  ye  therefore,  and  be  converted,  that  your  sins 
may  be  blotted  out,  when  the  times  of  refreshing  shall  come 
from  the  presence  of  the  Lord ; 

20  And  he  shall  send  Jesus  Christ,  which  before  was 
preached  unto  you : 

21  "Whom  the  heaven  must  receive,  until  the  times  of 
"restitution  of  all  things,  'which  God  hath  spoken  by  the 
mouth  of  all  his  holy  prophets  since  the  world  began. 

22  For  Mo'ses  truly  said  unto  the  fathers,  "A  Prophet  shall 
the  Lord  your  God  raise  up  unto  you  of  your  brethren,  like 
unto  me ;  him  shall  ye  hear  in  all  things  whatsoever  he  shall 
say  unto  you. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every  soul,  which  will  not 
hear  that  Prophet,  shall  be  destroyed  from  among  the  people. 

24  Yea,  and  all  the  prophets  from  Sam'u-el  and  those  that 
follow  after,  as  many  as  have  spoken,  have  likewise  foretold 
of  these  days. 

25  ''Ye  are  the  children  of  the  prophets,  and  of  the  covenant 
which  God  made  with  our  fathers,  saying  untoA'bra-ham,'And 
in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  kindreds  of  the  earth  be  blessed. 


V  Now  Pe'ter  and  John  were  going  up  into  the  tem- 
2  pie  at  the  hour  of  prayer,  being  the  ninth  hour.  And 
a  certain  man  that  was  lame  from  his  mother's  womb 
was  carried,  whom  they  laid  daily  at  the  door  of  the 
temple  which  is  called  Beautiful,  to  ask  alms  of  them 
3 that  entered  into  the  temple;  who  seeing  Pe'ter  and 
John  about  to  go  into  the  temple,  asked  to  receive 

4  an  alms.     And  Pe'ter,  fastening  his  eyes  upon  him, 

5  with  John,  said.  Look  on  us.  And  he  gave  heed 
unto    them,    expecting   to    receive  something  from 

6  them.  But  Pe'ter  said,  Silver  and  gold  have  I  none ; 
but  what  I  have,  that  give  I  thee.     In  the  name  of 

7  Jesus  Christ  of  Naz'a-reth,  walk.  And  he  took  him 
by  the  right  hand,  and  raised  him  up:  and  immedi- 
ately his  feet  and  his  ankle-bones  received  strength. 

8 And  leaping  up,  he  stood,  and  began  to  walk;  and 
he  entered  with  them  into  the  temple,  walking,  and 

9  leaping,  and  praising  God.  And  all  the  people  saw 
10 him  walking  and  praising  God:  and  they  took  knowl- 
edge of  him,  that  it  was  he  which  sat  foi;  alms  at 
the  Beautiful  Gate  of  the  temple :  and  they  were 
filled  with  wonder  and  amazement  at  that  which  had 
happened  unto  him. 

11  And  as  he  held  Pe'ter  and  John,  all  the  people  ran 
together  unto  them  in  the  'porch  that  is  called  Sol'- 

12  o-mon's,  greatly  wondering.  And  when  Pe'ter  saw 
it,  he  answered  unto  the  people.  Ye  men  of  Is'ra-el, 
why  marvel  ye  at  this  ^man  ?  or  why  fasten  ye  your 
eyes  on  us,  as  though  by  our  own  power  or  godli- 

13  ness  we  had  made  him  to  walk  ?    The  God  of  A'bra 
ham,  and  of  I'saac,  and  of  Ja'cob,  the  God  of  our 
fathers,  hath  glorified  his  'Servant  Jesus ;  whom  ye 
delivered  up,  and  denied  before  the  face  of  Pi'late, 

14  when  he  had  determined  to  release  him.  But  ye 
denied  the  Holy  and  Righteous  One,  and  asked  for 

15  a  murderer  to  be  granted  unto  you,  and  killed  the 
*Prince  of  life ;   whom   God  raised  from  the  dead ; 

16°whereof  we  are  witnesses.  And  ^by  faith  in  his 
name  hath  his  name  made  this  man  strong,  whom 
ye  behold  and  know :  yea,  the  faith  which  is  through 
him  hath  given   him  this  perfect  soundness  in  the 

1 7  presence  of  you  all.     And  now,  brethren,  I  wot  that 

18  in  ignorance  ye  did  it,  as  did  also  your  rulers.  But 
the  things  which  God  foreshewed  by  the  mouth  of 
all  the  prophets,   that    his  Christ  should  suffer,  he 

19  thus  fulfilled.  Repent  ye  therefore,  and  turn  again, 
that  your  sins  may  be  blotted  out,  that  so  there  may 
come  seasons  of  refreshing  from  the  presence  of  the 

20 Lord;  and   that  he   may  send  the  Christ  who  hath 

21  been  appointed  for  you,  even  Jesus:  whom  the  heaven 
must  recei  ve  until  the  times  of  restoration  of  all  things, 
whereof  God  spake  by  the  mouth  of  his  holy  proph- 

22  ets  which  have  been  since  the  world  began.  Mo'ses 
indeed  said,  A  prophet  shall  the  Lord  God  raise  up 
unto  you  from  among  your  brethren,  "like  unto  me  ; 
to  him  shall  ye  hearken    in    all  things  whatsoever 

23  he  shall  speak  unto  you.  And  it  shall  be,  that 
every  soul,  which  shall  not  hearken  to  that  prophet, 
shall  be  utterly  destroyed  from  among  the  people. 

24  Yea  and  all  the  prophets  from  Sam'u-el  and  them 
that  followed  after,  as  many  as  have  spoken,  they 

25  also  told  of  these  days.  Ye  are  the  sons  of  the 
prophets,  and  of  the  covenant  which  God  *made 
with  your  fathers,  saying  unto  A'bra-ham,  And  in 
thy  seed  shall  all  the  families  of  the  earth  be  blessed.

CHAPTER  IV. 

PeUr  and  John  imprisoned. 

AND  as  they  spake  unto  the  people,  the  priests,  and  the 
I  [captain  of  the  temple,  and  the  Sad'du-ceescameupon  them, 

2  "Being  grieved  that  they  taught  the  people,  and  preached 
through  Jesus  the  resurrection  from  the  dead. 

3  And  they  laid  hands  on  them,  and  put  them  in  hold  unto 
the  next  day :  for  it  was  now  eventide. 

4  Howbeit  many  of  them  which  heard  the  wx.'fd  believed ; 
and  the  number  of  the  men  was  about  five  thouta^v;^. 

5  ^And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  thej..  rulers, 
and  elders,  and  scribes, 

6  And  *An'nas  the  high  priest,  and  Ca'ia-phas,  and  John, 
and  Al-ex-an'der,  and  as  many  as  were  of  the  kindred  of  the 
high  priest,  were  gathered  together  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

7  And  when  they  had  set  them  in  the  midst,  they  asked, 
"By  what  power,  or  by  what  name,  have  ye  done  this? 

8  ''Then  Pe'ter,  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  said  unto  them. 
Ye  rulers  of  the  people,  and  elders  of  Is'ra-el, 

9  If  we  this  day  be  examined  of  the  good  dee,'1  done  to 
the  impotent  man,  by  what  means  he  is  made  whoi?-. ; 

10  Be  it  known  unto  you  all,  and  to  all  the  people  of  Is'- 
ra-el, *that  by  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Naz'a-reth,  whom 
ye  crucified,  ■''whom  God  raised  from  the  dead,  even  by  him 
doth  this  man  stand  here  before  you  whole. 

11  "This  is  the  stone  which  was  set  at  nought  of  you 
builders,  which  is  become  the  head  of  the  corner. 

12  ''Neither  is  there  salvation  in  any  other :  for  there  is 
none  other  name  under  heaven  given  among  men,  whereby 
we  must  be  saved. 

13  ^Now  when  they  saw  the  boldness  of  Pe'ter  and  John, 
'and  perceived  that  they  were  unlearned  and  ignorant  men, 
they  marvelled;  and  they  took  knowledge  of  them,  that  they 
had  been  with  Jesus. 

14  And  beholding  the  man  which  was  healed  ^standing 
with  them,  they  could  say  nothing  against  it. 

15  But  when  they  had  commanded  them  to  go  aside  out 
of  the  council,  they  conferred  among  themselves, 

16  Saying,  'What  shall  we  do  to  the.se  men?  for  that  in- 
deed a  notable  miracle  hath  been  done  by  them  is  ""manifest 
to  all  them  that  dwell  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  we  cannot  deny  it. 

17  But  that  it  spread  no  further  among  the  people,  let  us 
straitly  threaten  them,  that  they  speak  henceforth  to  no  man 
in  this  name. 

18  "And  they  called  them,  and  commanded  them  not  to 
speak  at  all  nor  teach  in  the  name  of  Jesus. 

19  But  Pe'ter  and  John  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
"Whether  it  be  right  in  the  sight  of  God  to  hearken  unto 
you  more  than  unto  God,  judge  ye. 

20  "For  we  cannot  but  speak  the  things  which  'we  have 
seen  and  heard. 

21  So  when  they  had  further  threatened  them,  they  let 
them  go,  finding  nothing  how  they  might  punish  them, 
""because  of  the  people:  for  all  men  glorified  God  for  'that 
which  was  done. 

22  For  the  man  was  above  forty  years  old,  on  whom  this 
miracle  of  healing  was  shewed. 

23  ^And  being  let  go,  'they  went  to  theip  own  company, 
and  reported  all  that  the  chief,  priests  and  elders  had  said 
unto  them. 

24  And  when  they  heard  that,  they  lifted  up  th  >ir  voice  to 
God  with  one  accord,  and  said.  Lord,  "thou  art  God,  which 
hast  made  heaven,  and  earth,  and  the  sea,  and  all  that  in 
them  is; 

25  Who,  by  the  mouth  of  thy  servant  Da'vid  hast  said,  ''Why 
did  the  heathen  rage,  and  the  people  imagine  vain  things? 


26  Unto  you  first  God,  having  raised  up  his  Servant, 
sent  him  to  bless  you,  in  turning  away  every  one  of 
you  from  your  iniquities. 

^  And  as  they  spake  unto  the  people,  'the  priests 
and  the  captain  of  the  temple  and  the  Sad'du-cees 

2  came  upon  them,  being  sore  troubled  because  they 
taught  the  people,  and  proclaimed  in  Jesus  the  resur- 

3rection  from  the  dead.  And  they  laid  hands  on 
them,  and  put  them  in  ward  unto  the  morrow :  for 

4  it  was  now  eventide.  But  many  of  them  that  heard 
the  word  believed ;  and  the  number  of  the  men  came 
to  be  about  five  thousand. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,  that  their 
rulers  and  elders  and  scribes  were  gathered  together 

6  in  Je-ru'sa-lem;  and  An'nas  the  high  priest  was  there, 
and  Ca'ia-phas,  and  John,  and  Al-ex-an'der,  and  as 
many  as  were  of  the   kindred   of  the   high    priest. 

7  And  when  they  had  set  them  in  the  midst,  they  in- 
quired, By  what  power,  or  in  what   name,  have  ye 

8  done  this  ?  Then  Pe'ter,  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost, 
said  unto  them.  Ye  rulers  of  the  people,  and  elders, 

9  if  we  this  day  are  examined  concerning  a  good  deed 
done  to  an  impotent  man,  ^by  what  means  this  man 

10  is  'made  whole ;  be  it  known  unto  you  all,  and  to 
all  the  people  of  Is'ra-el,  that  in  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ  of  Naz'a-reth,  whom  ye  crucified,  whom  God 
raised  from  the  dead,  even  in  *him  doth   this   man 

11  stand  here  before  you  whole.  He  is  the  stone  which 
was  set  at  nought  of  you  the  builders,  which  was 

12  made  the  head  of  the  corner.  And  in  none  other  is 
there  salvation :  for  neither  is  there  any  other  name 
under  heaven,  that  is  given  among  men,  wherein  we 
must  be  saved. 

13  Now  when  they  beheld  the  boldness  of  Pe'ter  and 
John,  and  had  perceived  that  they  were  unlearned 
and  ignorant  men,  they  marvelled ;  and  they  took 
knowledge  of  them,  that  they  had  been  with  Jesus. 

14  And  seeing  the  man  which  was  healed  standing  with 

15  them,  they  could  say  nothing  against  it.  But  when 
they  had  commanded  them  to  go  aside  out  of  the 

16  council,  they  conferred  among  themselves,  saying. 
What  shall  we  do  to  these  men?  for  that  indeed  a 
notable  '^miracle  hath  been  wrought  through  them,  is 
manifest  to  all  that  dwell  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and  we  can- 

17  not  deny  it.  But  that  it  spread  no  further  among 
the    people,  let   us  threaten  them,  that   they   speak 

18  henceforth  to  no  man  in  this  name.  And  they  called 
them,  and  charged  them  not  to  speak  at  all  nor  teach 

19  in  the  name  of  Jesus.  But  Pe'ter  and  John  answered 
and  said  unto  them.  Whether  it  be  right  in  the  sight 
of  God  to  hearken  unto  you  rather  than  unto  God, 

20judge  ye :  for  we  cannot  but  speak  the  things  which 

21  we  saw  and  heard.  And  they,  when  they  had  further 
threatened  them,  let  them  go,  finding  nothing  how 
they  might  punish  them,  because  of  the  people ;  for 

22  all  men  glorified  God  for  that  which  was  done.  For 
the  man  was  more  than  forty  years  old,  on  whom 
this  'miracle  of  healing  was  wrought. 

23  And  being  let  go,  they  came  to  their  own  com- 
pany, and  reported  all  that  the  chief  priests  and  the 

24  elders  had  said  unto  them.  And  they,  when  they 
heard  it,  lifted  up  their  voice  to  God  with  one  ac- 
cord, and  said,  O  'Lord,  'thou  that  didst  make  the 
heaven  and  the  earth  and  the  sea,  and  all  that  in 

25  them  is :  'who  by  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the  mouth  of 
our  father  Da'vid  thy  servant,  didst  say. 

Why  did  the  Gentiles  rage. 

And  the  peoples  'imagine  vain  things?

26  The  kings  of  the  earth  stood  up,  and  the  rulers  were 
gathered  together  against  the  Lord,  and  against  his  Christ. 

27  For  "of  a  truth  against  'thy  holy  child  Jesus,  "whom 
thou  hast  anointed,  both  Her'od,  and  Pon'ti-us  Pi'late,  with 
the  Gentiles,  and  the  people  of  Is' ra-el,  were  gathered  together, 

28  '"For  to  do  whatsoever  thy  hand  and  thy  counsel  de- 
termined before  to  be  done. 

29  And  now,  Lord,behold  their  threatenings:  and  grant  unto 
thy  servants,  'that  with  all  boldness  they  may  speak  thy  word, 

30  By  stretching  forth  thine  hand  to  heal;  ''and  that  signs 
and  wonders  may  be  done  'by  the  name  of  •'^thine  holy  child 
Jesus. 

31  5[And  when  they  had  prayed,  'the  place  was  shaken 
where  they  were  assembled  together;  and  they  were  all 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  ''and  they  spake  the  word  of 
God  with  boldness. 

32  And  the  multitude  of  them  that  believed  'were  of  one 
heart  and  of  one  soul :  ^neither  said  any  of  them  that  aught 
of  the  things  which  he  possessed  was  his  own ;  but  they 
had  all  things  common. 

33  And  with  'great  power  gave  the  apostles  "witness  of 
the  resurrection  of  the  Lord  Jesus :  and  "great  grace  was 
upon  them  all. 

34  Neither  was  there  any  among  them  that  lacked:  "for 
as  many  as  were  possessors  of  lands  or  houses  sold  them, 
and  brought  the  prices  of  the  things  that  were  sold, 

35  "And  laid  them  down  at  the  apostles'  feet :  'and  distri- 
bution was  made  unto  every  man  according  as  he  had  need. 

36  And  Jo'ses,  who  by  the  apostles  was  surnamed  Bar'na- 
bas,  (which  is,  being  interpreted.  The  son  of  consolation,)  a 
Le'vite,  and  of  the  country  of  Cy'prus, 

37  'Having  land,  sold  it,  and  brought  the  money,  and  laid 
it  at  the  apostles'  feet. 

CHAPTER    V. 

Ananias  and  Sapphira  fall  down  dead. 

BUT  a  certain  man  named  An-a-ni'as,  with  Sap-phi'ra  his 
wife,  sold  a  possession, 

2  Andkeptbackjjarioftheprice,  his  wife  also  being  privy  <o 
it,  "and  brought  a  certain  part,  and  laid  it  at  the  apostles'  feet. 

3  ''But  Pe'ter  said,  An-a-ni'as,  why  hath  'Sa'tan  filled  thine 
heart  ||to  lie  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  keep  back  j»ar<  of 
the  price  of  the  land  ? 

4  While  it  remained,  was  it  not  thine  own  ?  and  after  it 
was  sold,  was  it  not  in  thine  own  pow.er?  why  hast  thou 
conceived  this  thing  in  thine  heart?  thou  hast  not  lied  unto 
men,  but  unto  God. 

5  And  An-a-ni'as  hearing  these  words  ''fell  down,  and  gave 
up  the  ghost :  and  great  fear  came  on  all  them  that  heard 
these  things. 

6  And  the  young  men  arose,  'wound  him  up,  and  carried 
him  out,  and  buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space  of  three  hours  after,  when 
his  wife,  not  knowing  what  was  done,  came  in. 

8  And  Pe'ter  answered  unto  her.  Tell  me  whether  ye  sold 
the  land  for  so  much  ?     And  she  said.  Yea,  for  so  much. 

9  Then  Pe'ter  said  unto  her.  How  is  it  that  ye  have  agreed 
together  -^to  tempt  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  ?  behold,  the  feet 
of  them  which  have  buried  thy  husband  are  at  the  door, 
and  shall  carry  thee  out. 

10  "Then  fell  she  down  straightway  at  his  feet,  and  yielded 
up  the  ghost :  and  the  young  men  came  in,  and  found  her 
dead,  and,  carrying  her  forth,  buried  her  by  her  husband. 

11  ''And  great  fear  came  upon  all  the  church,  and  upon  as 
many  as  heard  these  things. 

12  ^And  'by  the  hands  of  the  apostles  were  many  signs 
and  wonders  wrought  among  the  people;  (*and  they  were 
all  with  one  accord  in  Sol'o-mon's  porch. 

13  And  'of  the  rest  durst  no  man  join  himself  to  them: 
"'but  the  people  magnified  them. 


26  The  kings  of  the  earth  set  themselves  in  array, 
And  the  rulers  were  gathered  together, 
Against  the  Lord,  and  against  his  'Anointed : 

27  for  of  a  truth  in  this  city  against  thy  holy  Servant 
Jesus,  whom  thou  didst  anoint,  both  Her'od  and 
Pon'ti-us  Pi'late,  with  the  Gentiles  and  the  peoples  of 

28  Is' ra-el,  were  gathered  together,  to  do  whatsoever  thy 
hand  and  thy  counsel  foreordained  to  come  to  pass. 

29  And  now,  Lord,  look  upon  their  threatenings :  and 
grant  unto  thy  ^servants  to  speak  thy  word  with  all 

30  boldness,  while  thou  stretchest  forth  thy  hand  to 
heal;    and  that  signs   and   wonders   may    be   done 

31  through  the  name  of  thy  holy  Servant  Jesus.  And 
when  they  had  prayed,  the  place  was  shaken  wherein 
they  were  gathered  together;  and  they  were  all  filled 
with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  they  spake  the  word  of 
God  with  boldness. 

32  And  the  multitude  of  them  that  believed  were  of 
one  heart  and  soul :  and  not  one  of  them  said  that 
aught  of  the  things  which  he  possessed  was  his  own ; 

33  but  they  had  all  things  common.  And  with  great 
power  gave  the  apostles  their  witness  of  the  resur- 
rection of  the  Lord  Jesus':    and   great   grace    was 

34  upon  them  all.  For  neither  was  there  among  them 
any  that  lacked :  for  as  many  as  were  possessors  of 
lands  or  houses  sold  them,  and  brought  the  prices 

35  of  the  things  that  were  sold,  and  laid  them  at  the 
apostles'  feet :  and  distribution  was  made  unto  each, 
ac<:ording  as  any  one  had  need. 

36  And  Jo'seph,  who  by  the  apostles  was  surnamed 
Bar'na-bas  (which  i.s,  being  interpreted,  Son  of  *ex 

37  hortation),  a  Le'vite,  a  man  of  Cy'prus  by  race,  hav- 
ing a  field,  sold  it,  and  brought  the  money,  and  laid 
it  at  the  apostles'  feet. 

v      But  a  certain  man  named  An-a-ni'as,  with  Sap- 

2phi'ra  his  wife,  sold  a  possession,  and  kept  back  pari 
of  the  price,  his  wife  also  being  privy  to  it,  and 
brought  a  certain  part,  and  laid  it  at  the  apostles' 

3  feet.  But  Pe'ter  said,  An-a-ni'as,  why  hath  Sa'tan  filled 
thy  heart  to  'lie  to  the  Holy  Ghost,   and    to  keep 

4 back  part  of  the  price  of  the  land?  Whiles  it  re- 
mained, did  it  not  remain  thine  own?  and  after  it 
Avas  sold,  was  it  not  in  thy  power?  How  is  it  that 
thou  hast  conceived  this  thing  in  thy  heart?  thou 

5  hast  not  lied  unto  men,  but  unto  God.  And  An-a- 
ni'as  hearing  these  words  fell  down  and  gave  up  the 
ghost:  and   great  fear  came  upon  all  that  heard  it 

6  And  the  ^young  men  arose  and  wrapped  him  round, 
and  they  carried  him  out  and  buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space  of  three  hours  after, 
when  his  wife,  not  knowing  what  was  done,  came  in. 

8  And  Pe'ter  answered  unto  her,  Tell  me  whether  ye 
sold  the  land  for  so  much.     And  she  said.  Yea,  for 

9  so  much.  But  Pe'ter  said  unto  her,  How  is  it  that 
ye  have  agreed  together  to  tempt  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord?  behold,  the  feet  of  them  which  have  buried 
thy  husband  are  at  the   door,  and  they  shall  carry 

10  thee  out.  And  she  fell  down  immediately  at  his 
feet,  and  gave  up  the  ghost:  and  the  young  men 
came  in  and  found  her  dead,   and  they   carried  her 

11  out  and  buried  her  by  her  husband.  And  great  fear 
came  upon  the  whole  church,  and  upon  all  that 
heard  these  things. 

12  And  by  the  hands  of  the  apostles  were  many 
signs  and  wonders  wrought  among  the  people; 
and  they  were  all  with  one  accord  in    Sol'o-mon's 

13  porch.  But  of  the  rest  durst  no  man  join  him- 
self to  them :  howbeit  the  people   magnified  them ;

14  And  believers  were  the  more  added  to  the  Lord,  mul 
titudes  both  of  rhen  and  women ;) 

15  Insomuch  that  they  brought  forth  the  sick  ||into  the 
streets  and  laid  them  on  beds  and  couches,  "that  at  the  least  the 
shadow  of  Pe'ter  passing  by  might  overshadow  some  of  them. 

16  There  came  also  a  multitude  out  of  the  cities  round  about 
unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  bringing  "sick  folks,  and  them  which  were 
vexed  with  unclean  spirits :  and  they  were  healed  every  one. 

17  ^"Then  the  high  priest  rose  up,  and  all  they  that  were 
with  him,  (which  is  the  sect  of  the  Sad'du-cees,)  and  were 
filled  with  II  indignation, 

1 8  'And  laid  their  hands  on  the  apostles,  and  put  them  in 
the  common  prison. 

19  But  "^the  angel  of  the  Lord  by  night  opened  the  prison- 
doors,  and  brought  them  forth,  and  said, 

20  Go,  stand  and  speak  in  the  temple  to  the  people,  "all 
the  words  of  this  life. 

21  And  when  they  heard  that,  they  entered  into  the  temple 
early  in  the  morning,  and  taught.  'But  the  high  prie.st 
came,  and  they  that  were  with  him,  and  called  the  council 
together,  and  all  the  senate  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and 
sent  to  the  prison  to  have  them  brought. 

22  But  when  the  officers  came,  and  found  them  not  in  the 
prison,  they  returned,  and  told, 

23  Saying,  The  prison  truly  found  we  shut  with  all  safety, 
and  the  keepers  standing  without  before  the  doors :  but 
when  he  had  opened,  we  found  no  man  within. 

24  Now  when  the  high  priest  and  "the  captain  of  the 
temple  and  the  chief  priests  heard  these  things,  they  doubted 
of  them  whereunto  this  would  grow. 

25  Then  came  one  and  told  them,  saying,  Behold,  the 
men  whom  ye  put  in  prison  are  standing  in  the  temple,  and 
teaching  the  people. 

26  Then  went  the  captain  with  the  officers,  and  brought 
them  without  violence :  "'for  they  feared  the  people,  lest  they 
should  have  been  stoned. 

27  And  when  they  had  brought  them,  they  set  them  before 
the  council :  and  the  high  priest  asked  them, 

28  Saying,  "Did  not  we  straitly  command  you  that  ye 
should  not  teach  in  this  name?  and,  behold,  ye  have  filled 
Je-ru'sa-lem  with  your  doctrine,  "and  intend  to  bring  this 
man's  "blood  upon  us. 

29  ^Then  Pe'ter  and  the  other  apostles  answered  and  said, 
'We  ought  to  obey  God  rather  than  men. 

30  "The  God  of  our  fathers  raised  up  Jesus,  whom  ye 
slew  and  ''hanged  on  a  tree. 

31  'Him  hath  God  exalted  with  his  right  hand  to  be  -^a 
Prince  and  "a  Saviour,  *for  to  give  repentance  to  Is'ra-el,  and 
forgiveness  of  sins. 

32  And  'we  are  his  witnesses  of  these  things;  and  so  is  also 
the  Holy  Ghost,  *whom  God  hath  given  to  them  that  obey  him. 

33  ^'When  they  heard  that,  they  were  cut  to  the  heart,  and 
took  counsel  to  slay  them. 

34  Then  stood  there  one  up  in  the  council,  a  Phar'i-see, 
named  ""Ga-ma'li-el,  a  doctor  of  the  law,  had  in  reputation 
among  all  the  people,  and  commanded  to  put  the  apostles 
forth  a  little  space ; 

35  And  said  unto  them.  Ye  men  of  Ls'ra-el,  take  heed  to 
yourselves  what  ye  intend  to  do  as  touching  these  men. 

36  For  before  these  days  rose  up  Theu'das,  boasting  him- 
self to  be  somebody ;  to  whom  a  number  of  men,  about  four 
hundred,  joined  themselves :  who  was  slain  ;  and  all,  as  many 
as  1 1  obeyed  him,  were  scattered,  and  brought  to  nought. 

37  After  this  man  rose  up  Ju'das  of  Gal'i-lee  in  the  days  of 
the  taxing,  and  drew  away  much  people  after  him :  he  also  per- 
ished ;  and  all,  even  as  many  as  obeyed  him,  were  dispensed. 

38  And  now  I  say  unto  you,  Refrain  from  these  men,  and 
let  them  alone :  "for  if  thic  counsel  or  this  work  be  of  men, 
it  will  come  to  nought : 


14 'and  believers  were  the  more  added  to  the  Lord, 

15  multitudes  both  of  men  and  women ;  insomuch  that 
they  even  carried  out  the  sick  into  the  streets,  and 
laid  them  on  beds  and  couches,  that,  as  Pe'ter  came 
by,  at  the  least  his  shadow  might  overshadow  some 

16  one  of  them.  And  there  also  came  together  the  mul 
titude  from  the  cities  round  about  Je-ru'sa-lem,  bring- 
ing sick  folk,  and  them  that  were  vexed  with  unclean 
spirits :  and  they  were  healed  every  one. 

17  But  the  high  priest  rose  up,  and  all  they  that  were 
with  him  (which  is  the  sect  of  the  Sad'du-cees),  and 

18  they  were  filled  with  jealousy,  and  laid  hands  on  the 

19  apostles,  and  put  them  in  public  ward.  But  an  an- 
gel of  the   Lord  by  night  opened  the  prison  doors, 

20  and  brought  them  out,  and  said,  Go  ye,  and  stand 
and  speak  in  the  temple  to  the  people  all  the  words 

21  of  this  Life.  And  when  they  heard  this,  they  en- 
tered into  the  temple  about  daybreak,  and  taught. 
But  the  high  priest  came,  and  they  that  were  with 
him,  and  called  the  council  together,  and  all  the 
senate  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el,  and   sent  to  the 

22  prison-house  to  have  them  brought.  But  the  offi- 
cers that  came   found  them  not  in   the  prison ;  and 

23  they  returned  and  told,  saying.  The  prison-house 
we  found  shut  in  all  safety,  and  the  keepers  standing 
at  the  doors :  but  when  we  had  opened,  W3  found  no 

24  man  within.  Now  when  the  captain  of  the  temple 
and  the  chief  priests  heard  these  words,  they  were 
much    perplexed   concerning    them    whereunto  this 

25  would  grow.  And  there  came  one  and  told  them. 
Behold,  the  men  whom  ye  put  in  the  prison  are  in 

26  the  temple  standing  and  teaching  the  people.  Then 
went  the  captain  with  the  officers,  and  brought  them, 
but  without  violence ;  for  they  feared  the  people,  lest 

27  they  should  be  stoned.  And  Avhen  they  had  brought 
them,  they  set  them   before  the  council.     And  the 

28  high  priest  asked  them,  saying,  We  straitly  charged 
you  not  to  teach  in  this  name :  and  behold,  ye  have 
filled  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  your  teaching,  and  intend  to 

29  bring  this  man's  blood  upon  us.  But  Pe'ter  and  the 
apostles  answered  and    said.   We    must   obey  God 

30  rather  than  men.     The  God  of  our  fathers  raised  up 

31  Jesus,  whom  ye  slew,  hanging  him  on  a  tree.  Him 
did  God  exalt  ^with  his  right  hand  to  be  a  Prince 
and  a  Savior,  for  to  give  repentance  to  Is'ra-el,  and 

32  remission  of  sins.  And  we  are  witnesses'  of  these 
Hhings ;  'and  so  is  the  Holy  Ghost,  whom  God  hath 
given  to  them  that  obey  him. 

33  But  they,  when  they  heard  this,  were  cut  to  the 

34  heart,  and  were  minded  to  slay  them.  But  there 
stood  up  one  in  the  council,  a  Phar'i-see,  named 
Ga-ma'li-el,  a  doctor  of  the  law,  had  in  honour  of  all 
the  people,  and  commanded  to  put  the  men  forth  a 

35  little  while.  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  men  of 
Is'ra-el,  take  heed  to  yourselves  as  touching  these 

36  men,  what  ye  are  about  to  do.  For  before  these 
days  rose  up  Theu'das,  giving  himself  out  to  be 
somebody;  to  whom  a  number  of  men,  about  four 
hundred,  joined  themselves :  who  was  slain ;  and 
all,  as  many   as    obeyed  him,  were   dispersed,  and 

37  came  to  nought.  After  this  man  rose  up  Ju'das 
of  Gal'i-lee  in  the  days  of  the  enrolment,  and  drew 
away  some  of  the  people  after  him  :  he  also  perished  ; 
and  all,  as   mauy   as    obeyed    him,  were    scattered 

38  abroad.  And  now  I  say  unto  you.  Refrain  from 
these  men,  and  let  them  alone :  for  if  this  coun- 
sel or  this  work  be  of  men,  it  will  be  overthrown :

40  And  to  him  they  agreed:  and  when  they  had  'called 
the  apostles,  ''and  beaten  them,  they  commanded  that  they 
should  not  speak  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  and  let  them  go. 

41  ^And  they  departed  from  the  presence  of  the  council, 
'rejoicing  that  they  were  counted  worthy  to  suflFer  shame  for 
his  name. 

42  And  daily  'in  the  temple,  and  in  every  house,  "they 
ceased  not  to  teach  and  preach  Jesus  Christ. 

CHAF-TER    VI. 

The  apostles'  care  for  the  poor — Seven  deacons  chosen. 

AND  in  those  days,  "when  the  number  of  the  disciples 
was  multiplied,  there  arose  a  murmuring  of  the  'Gre'- 
cians  against  the  He'brews,  because  their  widows  were  neg- 
lected ""m  the  daily  ministration. 

2  Then  the  twelve  called  the  multitude  of  the  disciples 
unto  them,  and  said,  ''It  is  not  reason  that  we  should  leave 
the  word  of  God,  and  serve  tables. 

3  Wherefore,  brethren,  'look  ye  out  among  you  seven  men 
of  honest  report,  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and  wisdom,  whom 
we  may  appoint  over  this  business. 

4  But  we  Avill  give  ourselves  continually  to  prayer,  and 
to  the  ministry  of  the  word. 

5  ^And  the  saying  pleased  the  whole  multitude:  and  they 
chose  Ste'phen,  "a  man  full  of  faith  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
and  *Phil'ip,  and  Proch'o-rus,  and  Ni-ca'nor,  and  Ti'mon, 
and  Par'me-nas,  and  'Nic'o-las  a  proselyte  of  An'ti-och ; 

6  Whom  they  set  before  the  apostles:  and  'when  they  had 
prayed,  'they  laid  their  hands  on  them. 

7  And  "'the  word  of  God  increased ;  and  the  number  of 
the  disciples  multiplied  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  greatly ;  and  a  great 
company  "of  the  priests  were  obedient  to  the  faith. 

8  And  Ste'phen,  full  of  faith  and  power,  did  great  wonders 
and  miracles  among  the  people. 

9  ^Then  there  arose  certain  of  the  synagogue,  which  is 
called  the  synagogue  of  the  Lib'er-tines,  and  Cy-re'ni-ans, 
and  Al-ex-an'dri-aus,  and  of  them  of  Ci-li'ci-a,  and  of 
A'si-a,  disputing  with  Ste'phen. 

10  And  "they  were  not  able  to  resist  the  wisdom  and  the 
spirit  by  which  he  spake. 

11  "Then  they  suborned  men,  which  said, We  have  heard  him 
speak  blasphemous  words  against  Mo'ses,  and  against  God. 

12  And  they  stirred  up  the  people,  and  the  elders,  and  the 
scribes,  and  came  upon  him,  and  caught  him,  and  brought 
him  to  the  council, 

13  And  set  up  false  witnesses,  which  said.  This  man  cea.seth 
not  to  speak  blasphemous  words  against  this  holy  place,  and 
the  law : 

14  'For  we  have  heard  him  say,  that  this  Jesus  of  Naz'a- 
reth  shall  ''de.stroy  this  place,  and  shall  change  the  || customs 
which  Mo'ses  delivered  us. 

15  And  all  that  sat  in  the  council,  looking  steadfastly  on 
him,  saw  his  face  as  it  had  been  the  face  of  an  angel. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

Stephen  answereth  to  his  accusation— They  stone  him  to  death, 

THEN  said  the  high  priest.  Are  these  things  so  ? 
2  And  he  said,  "Men,  brethren,  and  fathers,  hearken ; 
The  God  of  glory  appeared  unto  our  father  A'bra-ham  when 
he  was  in  Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a,  before  he  dwelt  in  Char'ran, 

3  And  said  unto  him,  'Get  thee  out  of  thy  country,  and 
from  thy  kindred,  and  come  into  the  land  which  I  shall 
shew  thee. 

4  Then  ''came  he  out  of  the  land  of  the  Chal-de'ans,  and 
dwelt  in  Char'ran ;  and  from  thence,  when  his  father  was 
dead,  he  removed  him  into  this  land  wherein  ye  now  dwell. 

5  And  he  gave  him  none  inheritance  in  it,  no,  not  so  much 
as  to  set  nis  foot  on :  ""yet  he  promised  that  he  would  give 


39  but  if  it  is  of  God,  ye  will  not  be  able  to  overthrow 
them;    lest  haply  ye  be  found  even  to  be  fighting 

40 against  God.  And  to  him  they  agreed:  and  when 
they  had  called  the  apostles  unto  them,  they  beat 
them,  and  charged  them  not  to  speak  in  the  name 

41  of  Jesus,  and  let  them  go.  They  therefore  departed 
from  the  presence  of  the  council,  rejoicing  that  they 
were   counted    worthy  to    suffer  dishonour   for  the 

42  Name.  And  every  day,  in  the  temple  and  at  home, 
they  ceased  not  to  teach  and  to  preach  Jesus  as  the 
Christ. 

O  Now  in  these  days,  when  the  number  of  the  dis- 
ciples was  multiplying,  there  arose  a  murmuring  of 
the  'Gre'cian  Jews  against  the  He'brews,  because  their 
widows  were   neglected  in   the   daily  ministration. 

2  And  the  twelve  called  the  multitude  of  the  disciples 
unto  them,  and  said.  It  is  not  ^fit  that  we  should  for 

3  sake  the  word  of  God,  and  'serve  tables.  *Look  ye 
out  therefore,  brethren,  from  among  you  seven  men 
of  good   report,   full  of  the  Spirit  and  of  wisdom, 

4  whom  we  may  appoint  over  this  business.  But  we 
will  continue  stedfastly  in  prayer,  and  in  the  ministry 

5  of  the  word.     And   the  saying  pleased  the  whole 
multitude :  and  they  chose  Ste'phen,  a  man  full  of 
faith  and  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  Phil'ip,  and  Proch' 
o-rus,  and  Ni-ca'nor,  and  Ti'mon,  and  Par'me-nas, 

6  and  Nic'o-las  a  proselyte  of  An'ti-och :  whom  they 
set  before  the  apostles:  and  when  they  had  prayed, 
they  laid  their  hands  on  them. 

7  And  the  word  of  God  increased;  and  the  number 
of  the  disciples  multiplied  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  exceed 
ingly ;  and  a  great  company  of  the  priests  were  obe 
dient  to  the  faith. 

8  And  Ste'phen,  full  of  grace  and  power,  wrought 

9  great  wonders  and  signs  among  the  people.  But 
there  arose  certain  of  them  that  were  of  the  synagogue 
called  the  synagogue  of  the  Lib'er-tines,  and  of  the 
Cy-re'ni-ans,  and  of  the  Al-ex-an'dri-ans,  and  of  them 

10  of  Ci-li'ci-a  and  A'si-a,  disputing  with  Ste'phen.  And 
they  were  not  able  to  withstand  the  wisdom  and  the 

11  Spirit  by  which  he  spake.  Then  they  suborned  men, 
which  said.  We  have  heard  him  speak  blasphemous 

12  words  against  Mo'ses,  and  against  God.  And  they 
stirred  up  the  people,  and  the  elders,  and  the  scribes, 
and  came  upon  him,  and  seized  him,  and  brought  him 

13  into  the  council,  and  set  up  false  witnesses,  which 
said.  This  man   ceaseth  "not  to  speak  words  against 

14 this  holy  place,  and  the  law:  for  we  have  heard  him 
say,  that  this  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth  shall  destroy  this 
place,  and  shall  change  the  customs  which  Mo'ses 

15  delivered  unto  us.  And  all  that  sat  in  the  council, 
fastening  their  eyes  on  him,  saw  his  face  as  it  had 
been  the  face  of  an  angel. 

/      And  the  high  priest  said.  Are  these  things  so? 

2  And  he  said. 

Brethren  and  fathers,  hearken.     The  God  of  glory 
appeared  unto  our  father  A'bra-ham,  when  he  was  in 

3  Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a,  before  he  dwelt  in  Ha'ran.and  said 
unto  him.  Get  thee  out  of  thy  land,  and  from  thy 
kindred,  and  come  into  the  land  which  I  shall  shew 

4  thee.  Then  came  he  out  of  the  land  of  the  Chal- 
dse'ans,  and  dwelt  in  Ha'ran :  and  from  thence,  when 
his   father  was   dead,    God  removed   him  into  this 

5 land,    wherein   ye   now   dwell:    and    he    gave    him 
none  inheritance   in   it,  no,  not  so  much  as  to  setl 
his  foot  on:  and  he  promised  that  he  would  give  I

as  yet  he  had  no  child. 

6  And  God  spake  on  this  wise,  'That  his  seed  should  so- 
journ in  a  strange  land  ;  and  that  they  should  bring  them 
into  bondage,  and  entreat  them  evil  -^four  hundred  years. 

7  And  the  nation  to  whom  they  shall  be  in  bondage  will 
I  judge,  said  God:  and  after  that  shall  they  come  forth, 
and  'serve  me  in  this  place. 

8  ''And  he  gave  him  the  covenant  of  circumcision :  'and  so 
A'bra-ham  begat  I'saac,  and  circumcised  him  the  eighth  day ; 
*and  I'saac  begat  Ja'cob,and'Ja'cob6e5'a<the  twelve  patriarchs. 

9  "'And  the  patriarchs,  moved  with  envy,  sold  Jo'seph  into 
E'gypt :  "but  God  was  with  him, 

10  And  delivered  him  out  of  all  his  afflictions,  "and  gave  him 
favour  and  wisdom  in  the  sight  of  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt ; 
and  he  made  him  governor  over  E'gypt  and  all  his  house. 

11  'Now  there  came  a  dearth  over  all  the  land  of  E'gypt 
and  Cha'naan,  and  great  affliction ;  and  our  fathers  found 
no  sustenance. 

12  'But  when  Ja'cob  heard  that  there  was  corn  in  E'gypt, 
he  sent  out  our  fathers  first. 

13  ''And  at  the  second  time  Jo'seph  was  made  known  to 
his  brethren ;  and  Jo'seph's  kindred  was  made  known  unto 
Pha'raoh. 

14  'Then  sent  Jo'seph,  and  called  his  father  Ja'cob  to  him, 
and  'all  his  kindred,  threescore  and  fifteen  souls. 

15  "So  Ja'cob  went  down  into  E'gypt,  "and  died,  he,  and 
our  fathers, 

16  And  "'were  carried  over  into  Sy'chem,  and  laid  in  "the 
sepulchre  that  A'bra-ham  bought  for  a  sum  of  money  of  the 
sons  of  Em'mor,  the  father  of  Sy'chem. 

17  But  when  'the  time  of  the  promise  drew  nigh,  which 
God  had  sworn  to  A'bra-ham,  "the  people  grew  and  multi- 
plied in  E'gypt, 

18  Till  another  king  arose,  which  knew  not  Jo'seph. 

19  The  same  dealt  subtilely  with  our  kindred,  and  evil 
entreated  our  fathers,  ''so  that  they  cast  out  their  young 
children,  to  the  end  they  might  not  live. 

20  'In  which  time  Mo'ses  was  born,  and  ""was  |1  exceeding 
fair,  and  nourished  up  in  his  father's  house  three  months : 

21  And  'when  he  was  cast  out,  Pha'raoh's  daughter  took 
him  up,  and  nourished  him  for  her  own  son. 

22  And  Mo'ses  was  learned  in  all  the  wisdom  of  the 
E-gyp'tians,  and  was  ■'^mighty  in  words  and  in  deeds. 

23  "And  when  he  was  full  forty  years  old,  ii  came  into 
his  heart  to  visit  his  brethren  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  seeing  one  of  them  suffer  wrong,  he  defended  him, 
and  avenged  him  that  was  oppressed,  and  smote  the  E-gyp'tian: 

25  II  For  he  supposed  his  orethren  would  have  understood 
how  that  God  by  his  hand  would  deliver  them ;  but  they 
understood  not. 

26  *And  the  next  day  he  shewed  himself  unto  them  as 
they  strove,  and  would  have  set  them  at  one  again,  saying, 
Sirs,  ye  are  brethren  ;  why  do  ye  wrong  one  to  another? 

27  But  he  that  did  his  neighbour  wrong,  thrust  him  away, 
saying,  'Who  made  thee  a  ruler  and  a  judge  over  us? 

28  Wilt  thou  kill  me,  as  thou  didst  the  E-gyp'tian  yesterday? 

29  *Then  fled  Mo'ses  at  this  saying,  and  was  a  stranger  in 
the  land  of  Ma'di-an,  where  he  begat  two  sons. 

30  'And  when  forty  years  were  expired,  there  appeared  to 
him  in  the  wilderness  of  mount  Si'na  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
in  a  flame  of  fire  in  a  bush. 

31  When  Mo'ses  saw  it,  he  wondered  at  the  sight :  and  as  he 
drew  near  to  behold  it,  the  voice  of  the  Lord  came  unto  him, 

32  Saying,  "I  am  the  God  of  thy  fathers,  the  God  of  A'bra- 
ham,  and  the  God  of  I'.saac,  and  the  God  of  Ja'cob.  Then 
Mo'ses  trembled,  and  durst  not  behold. 

33  "Then  said  the  Lord  to  him.  Put  off  thy  shoes  from  thy 
feet:  for  the  place  where  thou  standest  is  holy  ground. 


it  to  him  in  possession,  and  to  his  seed  after  him, 

6  when  as  yet  he  had  no  child.  And  God  spake  on  this 
wise,  that  his  seed  should  sojouru  in  a  strange  land, 
and  that  they  should  bring  them  into  bondage,  and 

7  entreat  them  evil,  four  hundred  years.  And  the  na 
tion  to  which  they  shall  be  in  bondage  will  I  judge, 
said  God :  and  after  that  shall  they  come  forth,  and 

8  serve  me  in  this  place.     And  he  gave  him  the  cove 
nant  of  circumcision  :  and  so  A'bra-ham  begat  I'saac, 
and  circumcised  him  the  eighth  day;  and  I'saac  begat 

9  Ja'cob,  and  Ja'cob  the  twelve  patriarchs.  And  the 
patriarchs,  moved  with  jealousy  against  Jo'seph,  sold 

10  him  into  E'gypt :  and  God  was  with  him,and  delivered 
him  out  of  all  his  afflictions,  and  gave  him  favour  and 
wisdom  before  Pha'raoh  king  of  E'gypt ;  and  he  made 

11  him  governor  over  E'gypt  and  all  his  house.  Now 
there  came  a  famine  over  all  E'gypt  and  Ca'naan,  and 
great  affliction  :  and  our  fathers  found  no  sustenance. 

12  But  when  Ja'cob  heard  that  there  was  corn  in  E'gypt, 

13  he  sent  forth  our  fathers  the  first  time.  And  at  the 
second  time  Jo'seph  was  made  known  to  his  brethren ; 
and  Jo'seph's  race  became  manifest  unto  Pha'raoh. 

14  And  Jo'seph  sent,  and  called  to  him  Ja'cob  his  father, 

15  and  all  his  kindred,  threescore  and  fifteen  souls.  And 
Ja'cob  went  down  into  E'gypt ;  and  he  died,  himself, 

16 and  our  fathers;  and  they  were  carried  over  unto 
She'chem,  and  laid  in  the  tomb  that  A'bra-ham  bought 
for  a  price  in  silver  of  the  sons  of  'Ha'mor  in  She'- 

17chem.  But  as  the  time  of  the  promise  drew  nigh, 
which  God  vouchsafed  unto   A'bra-ham,  the  people 

18  grew  and  multiplied  in  E'gypt,  till  there  arose  another 

19  king  over  E'gypt,  which  knew  not  Jo'seph.  The  same 
dealt  subtilly  with  our  race,  and  evil  entreated  our 
fathers,  that  Hhey  should  cast  out  their  babes  to  the 

20  end  they  might  not  'live.  At  which  season  Mo'ses 
was    born,   and  was  ^exceeding   fair;    and   he   was 

21  nourished  three  months  in  his  father's  house :  and 
when  he  was  cast  out,  Pha'raoh's  daughter  took  him 

22  up,  and  nourished  him  for  her  own  son.  And  Mo'ses 
was  instructed  in  all  the  wisdom  of  the  E-gyp'tians ; 

23  and  he  was  mighty  in  his  words  and  works.  But 
Avhen  he  was  well-nigh  forty  years  old,  it  came  into 
his  heart  to  visit  his  brethren  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

24  And  seeing  one  of  them  suffer  wrong,'  he  defended 
him,  and  avenged  him  that  was  oppressed,  smiting 

25  the  E-gyp'tian :  and  he  supposed  that  his  brethren 
understood   how  that  God   by  his  hand  was  giving 

26  them  'deliverance;  but  they  understood  not.  And 
the  day  following  he  appeared  unto  them  as  they 
strove,  and  would  have  set  them  at  one  again,  say- 
ing, Sirs,  ye  are  brethren ;  why  do  ye  wrong  one  to 

27  another  ?  But  he  that  did  his  neighbour  wrong 
thrust  him  away,  saying.  Who  made  thee  a  ruler  and 

28a  judge  over  us?     Wouldest  thou  kill  me,  as  thou 

29  killedst  the  E-gyp'tian  yesterday  ?  And  Mo'ses  fled 
at  this  saying,  and  became  a  sojourner  in  the  land 

30  of  Mid'i-an,  where  he  begat  two  sons.  And  when 
forty  years  were  fulfilled,  an  angel  appeared  to  him 
in  the  wilderness  of  mount  Si'nai,  in  a  flame  of  fire 

31  in  a  bush.  And  when  Mo'ses  saw  it,  he  wondered  at 
the  sight :  and  as  he  drew  near  to  behold,  there  came 

32  a  voice  of  the  Lord,  I  am  the  God  of  thy  fathers,  the 
God  of  A'bra-ham,  and  of  I'saac,  and  of  Ja'cob.  And 

33  Mo'.ses  trembled,  and  durst  not  behold.  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  him.  Loose  the  shoes  from  thy  feet : 
for  the  place  whereon  thou  standest  is  holy  ground.

34  "I  have  seen,  I  have  seen  the  affliction  of  my  people 
which  is  in  E'gypt,  and  I  have  heard  their  groaning,  and 
am  come  down  to  deliver  them.  And  now  come,  I  will 
send  thee  into  E'gypt. 

35  This  Mo'ses,  whom  they  refused,  saying.  Who  made 
thee  a  ruler  and  a  judge?  the  same  did  God  send  to  be  a 
ruler  and  a  deliverer  "by  the  hand  of  the  angel  which  ap- 
peared to  him  in  the  bush. 

36  'He  brought  them  out,  after  that  he  had  'shewed  won- 
ders and  signs  in  the  land  of  E'gypt,  'and  in  the  Red  sea, 
'and  in  the  wilderness  forty  years. 

37  ^This  is  that  Mo'ses,  which  said  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  "A  Prophet  shall  the  Lord  your  God  raise  up  unto 
you  of  your  brethren,  ||  like  unto  "me ;  "him  shall  ye  hear. 

38  "This  is  he,  that  was  in  the  church  in  the  wilderness 
with  "the  angel  which  spake  to  him  in  the  mount  Si'na,  and 
with  our  fathers :  "who  received  the  lively  ''oracles  to  give 
unto  us  :  ^  '^ 

39  To  whom  our  fathers  would  not  obey,  but  thrtist  him 
from  them,  and  in  their  hearts  turned  back  again  into  E'gypt, 

40  ''Saying  unto  Aa'rou,  Make  us  gods  to  go  before  us: 
for  as  for  this  Mo'ses,  which  brought  us  out  of  the  land  of 
E'gypt,  we  wot  not  what  is  become  of  him. 

41  ''And  they  made  a  calf  in  those  days,  and  offered  sacrifice 
unto  the  idol,  and  rejoiced  in  the  works  of  their  own  hands. 

42  Then  'God  turned,  and  gave  them  up  to  worship -^the 
host  of  heaven;  as  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  the  prophets, 
"O  ye  house  of  Is'ra-el,  have  ye  offered  to  me  slain  beasts 
and  sacrifices  by  the  space  of  forty  years  in  the  wilderness  ? 

43  Yea,  ye  took  up  the  tabernacle  of  Mo'loch,  and  the 
star  of  your  god  Rem'phan,  figures  which  ye  made  to  wor- 
ship them:  and  I  will  carry  you  away  beyond  Bab'ylon. 

44  Our  fathers  had  the  tabernacle  of  witness  in  the  wilder- 
ness, as  he  had  appointed,  ||  speaking  unto  Mo'ses,  *that  he 
should  make  it  according  to  the  fashion  that  he  had  seen. 

45  'Which  also  our  fathers  ||that  came  after  brought  in 
with  t  Je'sus  into  the  possession  of  the  Gentiles,  'whom  God 
drave  out  before  the  face  of  our  fathers,  unto  the  days  of 
Da'vid ; 

46  'Who  found  favour  before  God,  and  "desired  to  find  a 
tabernacle  for  the  God  of  Ja'cob. 

47  "But  Sol'o-mon  built  him  a  house. 

48  Howbeit  "the  Most  High  dwelleth  not  in  temples  made 
with  hands;  as  saith  the  prophet, 

49  "Heaven  is  my  throne,  and  earth  is  my  footstool :  what 
house  will  ye  build  me?  saith  the  Lord:  or  what  is  the 
place  of  my  rest? 

50  Hath  not  my  hand  made  all  these  things  ? 

51  T[Ye  'stiffnecked,  and  ''uncircumcised  in  heart  and 
ears,  ye  do  always  resist  the-  Holy  Ghost :  as  your  fathers 
did,  so  do  ye. 

52  'Which  of  the  prophets  have  not  your  fathers  perse- 
cuted ?  and  they  have  slain  them  which  shewed  before  of  the 
coming  of  'the  Just  One ;  of  whom  ye  have  been  now  the 
betrayers  and  murderers: 

53  "Who  have  received  the  law  by  the  disposition  of 
angels,  and  have  not  kept  it. 

54  ^"'When  they  heard  these  things,  they  were  cut  to  the 
heart,  and  they  gnashed  on  him  with  their  teeth. 

55  But  he,  "being  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  looked  up  stead- 
fastly into  heaven,  and  saw  the  glory  of  God,  and  Jesus 
standing  on  the  right  hand  of  God, 

56  And  said,  Behold,  'I  see  the  heavens  opened,  and 
the  ""Son  of  man  standing  on  the  right  hand  of  God. 

57  Then  they  cried  out  with  a  loud  voice,  and  stopped 
their  ears,  and  ran  upon  him  with  one  accord, 

58  And  'cast  him  out  of  the  city,  "and  stoned  him:  and 
''the  witnesses  laid  down  their  clothes  at  a  young  man's 
feet,  whose  name  was  Saul. 


34 1  have  surely  seen  the  affliction  of  my  people  which 
is  in  E'gypt,  and  have  heard  their  groaning,  and 
I  am  come  down  to  deliver  them  :  and  now  come, 

351  will  send  thee  into  E'gypt.  This  Mo'ses  whom 
they  refused,  saying.  Who  made  thee  a  ruler  and  a 
judge?  him  hath  God  sent  to  be  both  a  ruler  and 
a  'deliverer  with  the  hand  of  the  angel  which  ap- 

36  peared  to  him  in  the  bush.  This  man  led  them 
forth,  having  wrought  wonders  and  signs  in  E'gypt, 
and  in  the  Red  Sea,  and  in  the  wilderness  forty  years. 

37  This  is  that  Mo'ses,  which  said  unto  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el,  A  prophet  shall  God  raise  up  unto  you  from 

38  among  your  brethren,  ^like  unto  me.  This  is  he 
that  was  in  the  'church  in  the  wilderness  with  the 
angel  which  spake  to  him  in  the  mount  Si'nai,  and 
with  our  fathers :  who  received  living  oracles  to  give 

39  unto  us :  to  whom  our  fathers  would  not  be  obedi- 
ent, but  thrust  him  from  them,  and  turned  back  in 

40  their  hearts  unto  E'gypt,  saying  unto  Aa'ron,  Make 
us  gods  which  shall  go  before  us :  for  as  for  this 
Mo'ses,  which  led  us  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 

41  we  wot  not  what  is  become  of  him.  And  they  made 
a  calf  in  those  days,  and  brought  a  sacrifice  unto  the' 

42  idol,  and  rejoiced  in  the  works  of  their  hands.  But 
God  turned,  and  gave  them  up  to  serve  the  host  of 
heaven ;  as  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  the  prophets, 

Did  ye  offer  unto  me  slain  beasts  and  sacrifices 
Forty  years  in  the  wilderness,  O  house  of  Is'ra-el? 

43  And  ye  took  up  the  tabernacle  of  Mo'loch, 
And  the  star  of  the  god  Re'phan, 

The  figures  which  ye  made  to  worship  them : 
And  I  will  carry  you  away  beyond  Bab'y-lon. 

44  Our  fathers  had  the  tabernacle  of  the  testimony  in 
the  wilderness,  even  as  he  appointed  who  spake  unto 
Mo'ses,  that  he  should  make  it  according  to  the  figure 

45  that  he  had  seen.  Which  also  our  fathers,  in  their 
turn,  brought  in  with  *Josh'u-a  when  they  entered  on 
the  possession  of  the  nations,  which  God  thrust  out 
before  the  face  of  our  fathers,  unto  the  days  of  Da'vid ; 

46  who  found  favour  in  the  sight  of  God,  and  asked  to 

47  find  a  habitation  for  the  God  of  Ja'cob.  But  Sol'o-mon 

48  built  him  a  house.  Howbeit  the  Most  High  dwelleth 
not  in  houses  made  with  his  hands;  as  saith  the  prophet, 

49  The  heaven  is  my  throne, 

And  the  earth  the  footstool  of  my  feet : 

What  manner  of  house  will  ye  build  me?  saith  the 

Lord : 
Or  what  is  the  place  of  my  rest? 

50  Did  not  my  hand  make  all  these  things? 

51  Ye  stiffnecked  and  uncircumcised  in  heart  and 
ears,  ye  do  always  resist  the  Holy   Ghost :  as  your 

52  fathers  did,  so  do  ye.  Which  of  the  prophets  did 
not  your  fathers  persecute?  and  they  killed  them 
which  shewed  before  of  the  coming  of  the  Righteous 
One;  of  whom  ye  have  now  become  betrayers  and 

53 murderers;  ye  who  received  the  law  °as  it  was  or- 
dained by  angels,  and  kept  it  not. 

54  Now  when  they  heard  these  things,  they  were 
cut   to  the  heart,  and    they  gnashed  on  him  with 

55  their  teeth.  But  he,  being  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
looked  up  stedfastly  into  heaven,  and  saw  the  glory 
of  God,  and   Jesus  standing  on  the  right   hand  of 

56  God,  and  said.  Behold,  I  see  the  heavens  opened, 
and  the  Son    of  man  standing   on   the  right  hand 

57  of  God.  But  they  cried  out  with  a  loud  voice, 
and  stopped  their  ears,  and  rushed  upon  him  with 

58  one  accord ;  and  they  cast  him  out  of  the  city, 
and  stoned  him :  and  the  witnesses  laid  down  their 
garments  at  the  feet  of  a  young  than   named  Saul.

59  And  they  stoned  Ste'phen,  'calling  upon  God,  and  say-

CHAPTER    VIII. 

Persecution  in  Jerusalem. 

AND  "Saul  was  consenting  unto  his  death.  And  at  that  time 
there  was  a  great  persecution  against  the  church  which 
wasat  Je-ru'sa-lem;andHhey  were  all  scattered  abroad  through- 
out the  regions  of  Ju-de'a  and  Sa-ma'ri-a,  except  the  apostles. 

2  And  devout  men  carried  Ste'phen  to  his  burial,  and  'made 
great  lamentation  over  him. 

3  As  for  Saul,  ''he  made  havoc  of  the  church,  entering 
into  every  house,  and  haling  men  and  women  committed 
them  to  prison. 

4  Therefore  'they  that  were  scattered  abroad  went  every 
where  preaching  the  word. 

5  Then  ^Phil'ip  went  down  to  the  city  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and 
preached  Christ  unto  them. 

6  And  the  people  with  one  accord  gave  heed  unto  those 
things  which  Phil'ip  spake,  hearing  and  seeing  the  miracles 
which  he  did. 

7  For  "unclean  spirits,  crying  with  loud  voice,  came  out  of 
many  that  were  possessed  with  them:  and  many  taken  with 
palsies,  and  that  were  lame,  were  healed. 

8  And  there  was  great  joy  in  that  city. 

9  But  there  was  a  certain  man,  called  Si'mon,  which  before- 
time  in  the  same  city  ''used  sorcery,  and  bewitched  the  peo- 
ple of  Sa-ma'ri-a'  'giving  out  that  himself  was  some  great  one: 

10  To  whom  they  all  gave  heed,  i'rom  the  least  to  the 
greatest,  saying,  This  man  is  the  great  power  of  God. 

1 1  And  to  him  they  had  regard,  because  that  of  long  time 
he  had  bewitched  them  with  sorceries. 

12  But  when  they  believed  Phil'ip  preaching  the  things 
'concerning  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ,  they  were  baptized,  both  men  and  women. 

13  Then  Si'mon  himself  believed  also :  and  when  he  was 
baptized,  he  continued  with  Phil'ip,  and  wondered,  behold- 
ing the  fmiracles  and  signs  which  were  done. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  which  were  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  heard 
that  Sa-ma'ri-a  had  received  the  word  of  God,  they  sent  unto 
them  Pe'ter  and  John: 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come  down,  prayed  for  them 
'that  they  might  receive  the  Holy  Ghost: 

16  (For  "as  yet  he  was  fallen  upon  none  of  them:  only 
"they  were  baptized  in  "the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.) 

17  Then  "laid  they  their  hands  on  them,  and  they  received 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  when  Si'mon  saw  that  through  laying  on  of  the 
apostles'  hands  the  Holy  Ghost  was  given,  he  offered  them 
money,- 

19  Saying,  Give  me  also  this  power,  that  on  whomsoever 
I  lay  hands,  he  may  receive  the  Holy  Ghost. 

20  But  Pe'ter  said  unto  him.  Thy  money  perish  with  thee, 
because  «thou  hast  thought  that  'the  gift  of  God  may  be 
purchased  with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot  in  this  matter:  for  thy 
heart  is  not  right  in  the  sight  of  God. 

22  Repent  therefore  of  this  thy  wickedness,  and  pray  God, 
'if  perhaps  the  thought  of  thine  heart  may  be  forgiven  thee. 

23  For  I  perceive  that  thou  art  in  'the  gall  of  bitterness, 
and  in  the  bond  of  iniquity. 

24  Then  answered  Si'mon,  and  said,  "Pray  ye  to  the  Lord 
for  me,  that  none  of  these  things  which  ye  have  spoken 
come  upon  me. 

25  Aud  they,  when  they  had  testified  and  preached  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  preached  the 
gospel  in  many  villages  of  the  Sa-mar'i-tans. 


59  And  they  stoned  Ste'phen,  calling  upon  the  Lord, 

60  and  saying.  Lord  Jesus,  receive  my  spirit.  And  he 
kneeled  down,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice.  Lord, 

Slay  not  this  sin  to  their  charge.  And  when  he  had 
said  this,  he  fell  asleep.  And  Saul  was  consenting 
unto  his  death. 

And  there  arose  on  that  day  a  great  persecution 
against  the  church  which  was  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  and 
they  were  all  scattered  abroad  throughout  the  re- 
gions of  Ju-dse'a  and  Sa-ma'ri-a,  except  the  apostles, 

2  And  devout  men  buried  Ste'phen,  and  made  great 

3  lamentation  over  him.  But  Saul  laid  waste  the 
church,  entering  into  every  house,  and  haling  men 
and  women  committed  them  to  prison. 

4  They  therefore  that  were  scattered  abroad  went 
6  about  preaching  the  word.     And  Phil'ip  went  down 

to  the  city  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  proclaimed  unto  them 

6  the  Christ.  And  the  multitudes  gave  heed  with  one 
accord  unto  the  things  that  were  spoken  by  Phil'ip, 
when  they  heard  and  saw  the  signs  which  he   did. 

7  'For  from  many  of  those  which  had  unclean  spirits, 
they  came  out,  crying  with  a  loud  voice :  and  many 
that  were  palsied,  and  that  were  lame,  were  healed 

8  And  there  was  much  joy  in  that  city. 

9  But  there  was  a  certain  man,  Si'mon  by  name 
which  beforetime  in  the  city  used  sorcery,  and  amazed 
the  ^people  of  Sa-ma'ri-a,  giving  out  that  himself  was 

10 some  great  one:  to  whom  they  all  gave  heed,  from 
the  least  to  the  greatest,  saying,  This  man  is  that 

11  power  of  God  which  is  called  Great.  And  they 
gave  heed  to  him,  because  that  of  long  time  he  had 

12  amazed  them  with  his  sorceries.  But  when  they 
believed  Phil'ip  preaching  good  tidings  concerning 
the  kingdom  of  God  and  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ, 

13  they  were  baptized,  both  men  and  women.  And 
Si'mon  also  himself  believed :  and  being  baptized,  he 
continued  with  Phil'ip;  and  beholding  signs  and 
great  ^miracles  wrought,  he  was  amazed. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  which  were  at  Je-ru'sa-lem 
heard  that  Sa-ma'ri-a  had  received  the  word  of  God, 

15 they  sent  unto  them  Pe'ter  and  John:  who,  when 
they  were  come  down,  prayed  for  them,  that  they 

16  might  receive  the  Holy  Ghost:  for  as  yet  he  was 
fallen  upon  none  of  them :  only  they  had  been  bap- 

17tized  into  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.  Then  laid 
they  their  hands  on   them,  and  they  received  the 

18  Holy  Ghost.  Now  when  Si'mon  saw  that  through 
the  laying  on  of  the  apostles'  hands  the  *Holy  Ghost 

19  was  given,  he  offered  them  money,  saying.  Give  me 
also  this  power,  that  on  whomsoever  I  lay  my  hands, 

20  he  may  receive  the  Holy  Ghost.  But  Pe'ter  said 
unto  him.  Thy  silver  perish  with  thee,  because  thou 
hast  thought  to  obtain  the  gift  of  God  with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot  in  this  'matter:   for 

22  thy  heart  is  not  right  before  God.  Repent  therefore 
of  this  thy  wickedness,  and  pray  the  Lord,  if  per- 
haps the  thought  of  thy  heart  shall  be  forgiven  thee. 

23  For  I  see  that  thou  "art  in  the  gall  of  bitterness  and 

24  in  the  bond  of  iniquity.  And  Si'mon  answered  and 
said,  Pray  ye  for  me  to  the  Lord,  that  none  of  the 
things  which  ye  have  spoken  come  upon  me. 

25  They  therefore,  when  they  had  testified  and  spoken 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and 
preached  the  gospel  to  many  villages  of  the  Sa- 
mar'i-tans.  I

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  spake  unto  Phil'ip,  saying, 
Arise,  and  go  toward  the  south,  unto  the  way  that  goeth 
down  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  Ga'za,  which  is  desert. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went :  and,  behold,  ^a  man  of  E-thi- 
o'pi-a,  a  eunuch  of  great  authority  under  Can'da-ce  queen 
of  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans,  v/ho  had  the  charge  of  all  her  treasure, 
and  "had  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  to  worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and  sitting  in  his  chariot  read  E-sa'ias 
the  prophet. 

9.9  Then  the  Spirit  said  unto  Phil'ip,  Go  near,  and  join  thy- 
self to  this  chariot. 

30  And  Phil'ip  ran  thither  to  him,  and  heard  him  read  the 
prophet  E-sa'ias,  and  said,  Understandest  thou  what  thou 
readest  ? 

31  And  he  said.  How  can  I,  except  some  man  should 
guide  me  ?  And  he  desired  Phil'ip  that  he  would  come  up, 
and  sit  M'ith  him. 

32  The  place  of  the  Scripture  which  he  read  was  this,  'He 
was  led  as  a  sheep  to  the  slaughter;  and  like  a  lamb  dumb 
before  his  shearer,  so  opened  he  not  his  mouth : 

33  In  his  humilation  his  judgment  was  taken  away:  and 
who  shall  declare  his  generation  ?  for  his  life  is  taken  from 
the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered  Phil'ip,  and  said,  I  pray  thee, 
of  whom  speaketh  the  prophet  this  ?  of  himself,  or  of  some 
other  man  ? 

35  Then  Phil'ip  opened  his  mouth,  "and  began  at  the  same 
Scripture,  and  preached  unto  him  Jesus. 

36  And  as  they  went  on  their  way,  they  came  unto  a  cer- 
tain water :  and  the  eunuch  said.  See,  here  is  water ;  ''what 
doth  hinder  me  to  be  baptized  ? 

37  And  Phil'ip  said,  "If  thou  belie  vest  with  all  thine  heart, 
thou  mayest.  And  he  answered  and  said,  ''1  believe  that 
Jesus  Christ  is  the  Son  of  God. 

38  And  he  commanded  the  chariot  to  stand  still :  and  they 
went  down  both  into  the  water,  both  Phil'ip  and  the  eunuch ; 
and  he  baptized  him. 

39  And  when  they  were  come  up  out  of  the  water,  'the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  caught  away  Phil'ip,  that  the  eunuch  saw 
him  no  more  :  and  he  went  on  his  way  rejoicing. 

40  But  Phil'ip  was  found  at  A-zo'tus  :  and  passing  through 
he  preached  in  all  the  cities,  till  he  came  to  Ces-a-re'a. 

CHAF"rER  IX. 

SauVs  Conversion, 

AND  "Saul,  yet  breathing  out  threatenings  and  slaughter 
againstthedisciplesof  the  Lord, went  unto  the  high  priest, 

2  And  desired  of  him  letters  to  Da-mas'cus  to  the  synagogues, 
that  if  he  found  any  fof  this  way,  whether  they  were  men 
or  women,  he  might  bring  them  bound  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

3  And  'as  he  journeyed,  he  came  near  Da-mas'cus :  and 
suddenly  there  shined  round  about  him  a  light  from  heaven : 

4  And  he  fell  to  the  earth,  and  heard  a  voice  saying  unto 
him,  Saul,  Saul,  ""why  persecutest  thou  me? 

5  And  he  said,  Who  art  thou,  Lord  ?  And  the  Lord  said, 
I  am  Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest :  Ht  is  hard  for  thee  to 
kick  against  the  pricks. 

6  And  he  trembling  and  astonished  said.  Lord,  'what  wilt 
thou  have  me  to  do?  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Arise,  and 
go  into  the  city,  and  it  shall  be  told  thee  what  thou  must  do. 

7  And  -^the  men  which  journeyed  with  him  stood  speech- 
less, hearing  a  voice,  but  seeing  no  man. 

8  And  Saul  arose  from  the  earth ;  and  when  his  eyes  were 
opened,  he  saw  no  man  :  but  they  led  him  by  the  hand,  and 
brought  him  into  Da-mas'cus. 

9  And  he  was  three  days  without  sight,  and  neither  did 
eat  nor  drink. 

10  ^And  there  was  a  certain  disciple  at  Da-mas'cus, 'named 
An-a-ni'as ;  and  to  him  .said  the  Lord  in  a  vision,  An-a-ni'as. 
And  he  said.  Behold,  I  am  here,  Lord. 


26  But  an  angel  of  the  Lord  spake  unto  Phil'ip,  say- 
ing. Arise,  and  go  Howard  the  south  unto  the  way 
that  goeth  down  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  Ga'za :  the 

27  same  is  desert.  And  he  arose  and  went :  and  behold, 
a  man  of  E-thi-o'pi-a,  a  eunuch  of  great  authority  under 
Can'da-ce,  queen  of  the  E-thi-o'pi-ans,  who  was  over  all 
her  treasure,  who  had  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  to  wor- 

28  ship ;  and  he  was  returning  and  sitting  in  his  chariot, 

29  and  was  reading  the  prophet  I-sa'iah.  And  the  Spirit 
said  unto  Phil-ip,  Go  near,  and  join  thyself  to  this 

30  chariot.  And  Phil'ip  ran  to  him,  and  heard  him  read- 
ing I-sa'iah  the  prophet,  and  said,  Understandest  thou 

31  what  thou  readest?  And  he  said.  How  can  I  except 
some  one  shall  guide  me  ?    And  he  besought  Phil'ip 

32  to  come  up  and  sit  with  him.  Now  the  place  of  the 
scripture  which  he  was  reading  was  this, 

He  was  led  as  a  sheep  to  the  slaughter; 
And  as  a  lamb  before  his  shearer  is  dumb, 
So  he  openeth  not  his  mouth : 

33  In  his  humiliation  his  judgement  was  taken  away : 
His  generation  who  shall  declare  ? 

For  his  life  is  taken  from  the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered  Phil'ip,  and  said,  I  pray 
thee,  of  whom  speaketh  the  prophet  this?    of  him- 

35  self,  or  of  some  other?  And  Phil'ip  opened  his 
mouth,  and  beginning  from  this  scripture,  preached 

36  unto  him  Jesus.  And  as  they  went  on  the  way, 
they  came  unto  a  certain  water;  and  the  eunuch 
saith.  Behold,  here  is  water;    what  doth  hinder  me 

38 to  be  baptized?^  And  he  commanded  the  chariot 
to  stand  still:  and  they  both  went  down  into  the 
water,  both  Phil'ip  and  the  eunuch ;  and  he  baptized 

39  him.  And  when  they  came  up  out  of  the  water, 
the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  caught  away  Phil'ip;  and  the 
eunuch  saw  him  no  more,  for  he  went  on  his  way 

40 rejoicing.  But  Phil'ip  was  found  at  A-zo'tus:  and 
passing  through  he  preached  the  gospel  to  all  the 
cities,  till  he  came  to  Cses-a-re'a, 

V  But  Saul,  yet  breathing  threatening  and  slaughter 
against   the  disciples  of  the  Lord,  went    unto    the 

2  high  priest,  and  asked  of  him  letters  to  Da-mas'cus 
unto  the  synagogues,  that  if  he  found  any  that  were 
of  the  Way,  whether  men  or  women,  he  might  bring 

3  them  bound  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  as  he  journeyed, 
it  came  to  pass  that  he  drew  nigh  unto  Da-mas'cus : 
and  suddenly  there  shone  round  about  him  a  light 

4  out  of  heaven  :  and  he  fell  upon  the  earth,  and  heard 
a  voice  saying  unto  him,  Saul,  Saul,  why  persecutest 

5 thou  me?   And  he  said,  Who  art  thou.  Lord?   And 

6 he  said,   I  am  Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest:    but 

rise,  and  enter  into  the  city,  and  it  shall  be  told  thee 

7  what  thou  must  do.  And  the  men  that  journeyed 
with  him   stood  speechless,  hearing  the  'voice,  but 

8  beholding  no  man.  And  Saul  arose  from  the  earth ; 
and  when  his  eyes  were  opened,  he  saw  nothing; 
and  they  led  him   by  the  hand,  and  brought  him 

9  into  Da-mas'cus.  And  he  was  three  days  without 
sight,  and  did  neither  eat  nor  drink. 

10  Now  there  was  a  certain  disciple  at  Da-mas'cus, 
named  An-a-ni'as  ;  and  the  Lord  said  unto  him  in  a  vis- 
ion, An-arui'as.  And  he  said.  Behold,  I  am  here,  Lord.

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Arise,  and  go  into  the 
street  which  is  called  Straight,  and  inquire  in  the  house  of 
Ju'das  for  one  called  Saul,  ''of  Tar'sus :  for,  behold,  he  prayeth, 

12  And  hath  seen  in  a  vision  a  man  named  An-a-iii'as, 
coming  in,  and  putting  his  hand  on  him,  that  he  might  re- 
ceive his  sight. 

13  Then  An-a-ni'as  answered,  Lord,  I  have  heard  by  many 
of  this  man,  'how  much  evil  he  hath  done  to  thy  saints  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem : 

14  And  here  he  hath  authority  from  the  chief  priests  to 
bind  all  *that  call  on  thy  name. 

15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go  thy  way :  for  'he  is  a 
chosen  vessel  unto  me,  to  bear  my  name  before  "the  Gen- 
tiles, and  "kings,  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el : 

16  For  °I  will  shew  him  how  great  things  he  must  suffer 
for  my  name's  sake. 

17  "And  An-a-ni'as  went  his  way,  and  entered  into  the 
house;  and  'putting  his  hands  on  him,  said.  Brother  Saul, 
the  Lord,  even  Jesus  that  appeared  unto  thee  in  the  way  as 
thou  earnest,  hath  sent  me,  that  thou  mightest  receive  thy 
sight,  and  ''be»filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  immediately  there  fell  irom  his  eyes  as  it  had  been 
scales:  and  he  received  sight  forthwith,  and  arose,  and  was 
baptized. 

19  And  when  he  had  received  meat,  he  was  strengthened. 
'Then  was  Saul  certain  days  with  the  disciples  which  were 
at  Da-mas'cus. 

20  And  straightway  he  preached  Christ  in  the  synagogues, 
'that  he  is  the  Son  of  God. 

21  But  all  that  heard  him  were  amazed,  and  said;  "Is  not 
this  he  that  destroyed  them  which  called  on  this  name  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  came  hither  for  that  intent,  that  he  might 
bring  them  bound  unto  the  chief  priests? 

22  But  Saul  increased  the  more  in  strength,  "and  con- 
founded the  Jews  which  dwelt  at  Da-mas'cus,  proving  that 
this  is  very  Christ. 

23  ^And  after  that  many  days  were  fulfilled,  "the  Je-/vs 
took  counsel  to  kill  him : 

24  'But  their  laying  wait  was  known  of  Saul.  And  they 
watched  the  gates  day  and  night  to  kill  him. 

25  Then  the  disciples  took  him  by  night,  and  "let  him 
down  by  the  wall  in  a  basket. 

26  ''And  when  Saul  was  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  he  assayed  to 
join  him.self  to  the  disciples :  but  they  were  all  afraid  of 
him,  and  believed  not  that  he  was  a  disciple. 

27  "But  Bar'na-bas  took  him,  and  brought  him  to  the 
apostles,  and  declared  unto  them  how  he  had  seen  the  Lord 
in  the  way,  and  that  he  had  spoken  to  him,  ''and  how  he 
had  preached  boldly  at  Da-mas'cus  in  the  name  of  Jesus. 

28  And  'he  was  with  them  coming  in  and  going  out  at 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

29  And  he  spake  boldly  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus, 
and  disputed  against  the  ■'Gre'cians:  'but  they  went  about 
to  slay  him. 

30  i^ich,  when  the  brethren  knew,  they  brought  him  down 
to  Ces-a-re'a,  and  sent  him  forth  to  Tar'sus. 

31  '^Then  had  the  churches  rest  throughout  all  Ju-de'a,and 
Gal'i-lee,  and  Sa-ma'ri-a,  and  were  edified :  and  walking  in 
the  fear  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  comfort  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
were  multiplied. 

32  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Pe'ter  passed  'throughout  all 
quarters,he  came  down  also  tothe  saints  which  dwelt  at  Lyd'da. 

33  And  there  he  found  a  certain  man  named  E'ne-as,  which 
had  kept  his  bed  eight  years,  and  was  sick  of  the  palsy, 

34  And  Pe'ter  said  unto  him,  E'ne-as,*  JesusChrLstmakcth  thee 
whole:  arise,  and  make  tny  oea.     And  he  arose  immediately. 

35  And  all  that  dwelt  at  Lyd'da  and  'Sa'ron  saw  him,  and 
"turned  to  the  Lord. 

36  ^Now  there  was  at  Jop'pa  a  certain  disciple  named 


11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Arise,  and  go  to  the 
street  which  is  called  Straight,  and  inquire  in  the 
hou.se  of  Ju'das  for  one  named  Saul,  a  man  of  Tar'- 

12sus:  for  behold,  he  prayeth;  and  he  hath  seen  a 
man  named  An-a-ni'as  coming  in,  and  laying  his  hands 

13  on  him,  that  he  might  receive  his  sight.  But  An- 
a-ni'as  answered.  Lord,  I  have  heard  from  many  of 
this  man,   how  much  evil  he  did   to   thy    saints  at 

14  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  here  he  hath  authority  from  the 
chief  priests  to  bind  all  that  call  upon  thy  name 

15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go  thy  way:  for  he  is 
a  'chosen  vessel  unto  me,  to  bear  my  name  before 
the  Gentiles  and  kings,  and  the  children  of  Is'ra-el 

16  for  I  will  shew  him  how  many  things  he  must  suffer 

17  for  my  name's  sake.  And  An-a-ni'as  departed,  and 
entered  into  the  house ;  and  laying  his  hands  on  him 
said.  Brother  Saul,  the  Lord,  even  Jesus,  who  ap- 
peared unto  thee  in  the  way  which  thou  earnest, 
hath  sent  me,  that  thou  mayest   receive  thy  sight, 

18  and  be  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost.  And  straight- 
way there  fell  from  his  eyes  as  it  were  scales,  and  he 
received  his  sight ;  and  he  arose  and  was  baptized ; 

19  and  he  took  food  and  was  strengthened. 

And  he  was  certain  days  with  the  disciples  which 

20  were  at  Da-mas'cus.  And  straightway  in  the  syna- 
gogues he  proclaimed  Jesus,  that  he  is  the  Son  of 

21  God.  And  all  that  heard  him  were  amazed,  and 
said.  Is  not  this  he  that  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  made  havock 
of  them  which  called  on  this  name  ?  and  he  had 
come  hither  for  this  intent,  that  he  might  bring  them 

22  bound  before  the  chief  priests.  But  Saul  increased 
the  more  in  strength,  and  confounded  the  Jews 
which  dwelt  at  Da-mas'cus,  proving  that  this  is  the 
Christ. 

23  And  when  many  days  were  fulfilled,  the  Jews  took 

24  counsel  together  to  kill  him :  but  their  plot  became 
known  to  Saul.     And  they  watched  the  gates  also 

25 day  and  night  that  they  might  kill  him:  but  his  dis- 
ciples took  him  by  night,  and  let  him  down  through 
the  wall,  lowering  him  in  a  basket. 

26  And  ■when  he  was  come  to  Je-ru'sa-iem,  he  assayed 
to  join  himself  to  the  disciples :  and  they  were  all 
afraid  of  him,  not  believing  that  he  was  a  disciple. 

27  But  Bar'na-bas  took  him,  and  brought  him  to  the 
apostles,  and  declared  unto  them  how  he  had  seen 
the  Lord  in  the  way,  and  that  he  had  spoken  to  him, 
and  how  at  Da-mas'cus  he  had  preached  boldly  in 

28  the  name  of  Jesus.     And  he  was  with  them  going  in 

29  and  going  out  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  preaching  boldly  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord :  and  he  spake  and  disputed 
against  the  ^Gre'cian  Jews;  but  they  went  about  to 

30  kill  him.  And  when  the  brethren  knew  it,  they 
brought  him  down  to  Cses-a-re'a,  and  sent  him  forth 
to  Tar'sus. 

31  So  the  church  throughout  all  Ju-dse'a  and  Gal'i-lee 
and  Sa-ma'ri-a  had  peace,  being  'edified;  and,  walk- 
ing *in  the  fear  of  the  Lord  and  *in  the  comfort  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  was  multiplied. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Pe'ter  went  throughout  all 
parts,  he  came  down  also  to  the  saints  which  dwelt 

33  at  Lyd'da.  And  there  he  found  a  certain  man  named 
-iE'ne-as,  which  had  kept  his  bed  eight  years ;  for  he 

34  was  palsied.  And  Pe'ter  said  unto  him,  JE'ne-as,  Jesus 
Chri.st  healeth  thee :  arise,  and  make  thy  bed.     And 

35  straightway  he  arose.  And  all  that  dwelt  at  Lyd'da 
and  in  Shar'on  saw  him,  and  they  turned  to  the 
Lord. 

36  Now  there  was  at  Jop'pa  a  certain  disciple  named

Tab'i-tha,  which  by  interpretation  is  called  ||Dor'cas;  this 
woman  wa.s  full  "of  good  works  and  alrasdeeds  which  she  did. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass  in  tho.se  days,  that  she  was  sick, 
and  died:  wliom  when  they  had  washed,  they  laid  her  in 
°an  upper  chamber. 

38  And  forasmuch  as  Lyd'da  was  nigh  to  Jop'pa,  and  the 
disciples  had  heard  that  Pe'ter  was  there,  they  sent  unto  him 
two  men,  desiring  him  that  he  would  not  ||  delay  to  come 
to  them. 

39  Then  Pe'ter  arose  and  went  with  them.  When  he  was 
come,  they  brought  him  into  the  upper  chamber:  and  all 
the  widows  stood  by  him  weeping,  and  shewing  the  coats 
and  garments  which  Dor'cas  made,  while  she  was  with  them. 

40  But  Peter  ''put  them  all  forth,  and  "kneeled  down,  and 
prayed;  andturning/u»itothebody,''said,Tab'i-tha,arise.  And 
she  opened  her  eyes:  and  when  she  saw  Pe'ter,  she  sat  up. 

41  And  he  gave  her  his  hand,  and  lifted  her  up ;  and  when 
he  had  called  the  saints  and  widows,  he  presented  her  alive. 

42  And  it  was  known  throughout  all  Jop'pa;  'and  many 
believed  in  the  Lord. 

43  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he  tarried  many  days  in 
Jop'pa  with  one  'Si'mon  a  tanner. 

CHAPTER   X. 

Cornelius  sendeth  for  Peter. 

rpHERE  was  a  certain  man  in  Ces-a-re'a,  called  Cor-ne'li-us, 
-L    a  centurion  of  the  band  called  the  I-tal'ian  hand, 

2  "A  devout  man,  and  one  that  'feared  God  with  all  his  house, 
which  gave  much  alms  to  the  people,  and  prayed  to  God  always. 

3  "He  saw  in  a  vision  evidently,  about  the  ninth  hour  of 
the  day,  an  angel  of  God  coming  in  to  him,  and  saying  unto 
him,  Cor-ne'li-us. 

4  And  when  he  looked  on  him,  he  was  afraid,  and  said, 
What  is  it,  Lord  ?  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thy  prayers  and 
thine  alms  are  come  up  for  a  memorial  before  God. 

5  And  now  send  men  to  Jop'pa,  and  call  for  one  Si'mon, 
whose  surname  is  Pe'ter: 

6  He  lodgeth  with  one  ''Si'mon  a  tanner,  whose  house  is  by 
the  sea  side :  'he  shall  tell  thee  what  thou  oughtest  to  do. 

7  And  when  the  angel  which  spake  unto  Cor-ne'li-us  was 
departed,  he  called  two  of  his  household  servants,  and  a 
devout  soldier  of  them  that  waited  on  him  continually ; 

8  And  whec  he  had  declared  all  these  things  unto  them, 
he  sent  them  to  Jop'pa. 

9  ^On  the  morrow,  as  they  went  on  their  journey,  and 
drew  nigh  unto  the  city, •'Pe'ter  went  up  upon  the  housetop 
to  pray  about  the  sixth  hour; 

10  And  he  became  very  hungry,  and  would  have  eaten: 
but  while  they  made  ready,  he  fell  into  a  trance, 

11  And  "saw  heaven  opened,  and  a  certain  vessel  descend- 
ing unto  him,  as  it  had  been  a  great  sheet  knit  at  the  four 
corner.?,  and  let  down  to  the  earth : 

12  Wherein  were  all  mannar  of  fourfooted  beasts  of  the 
earth,  and  wild  beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and  fowls  of 
the  air. 

13  Andtherecameavoicetohim,  Rise,  Pe'ter;  kill,  and  eat. 

14  But  Pe'ter  said,  Not  so.  Lord ;  *for  I  have  never  eaten 
any  thing  that  is  common  or  unclean. 

15  And  the  voice  spake  unto  him  again  the  second  time, 
'What  God  hath  cleansed,  that  call  not  thou  common. 

16  This  was  done  thrice:  and  the  vessel  was  received  up 
again  into  heaven. 

17  Now  while  Pe'ter  doubted  in  himself  what  this  vi.slon 
which  he  had  seen  should  mean,  behold,  the  men  whicn 
were  sent  from  Cor-ne'li-us  had  made  inquiry  for  Si'mou's 
house,  and  stood  before  the  gate, 

18  And  called,  and  asked  whether  Si'mon,  which  was  sur- 
named  Pe'ter,  were  lodged  there. 

19  ^While  Pe'ter  thought  on  the  vision,  *the  Spirit  said 
unto  him.  Behold,  three  men  seek  thee. 


Tab'i-tha,  which  by  interpretation  is  called 'Dor'cas: 
this  woman  was  full  of  good  works  and  almsdeeds 

37  which  she  did.  And  it  came  to  pass,  in  those  days, 
that  she  fell  sick,  and  died:  and  when  they  had 
washed    her,    they    laid  her  in  an  upper    chamber. 

38  And  as  Lyd'da  was  nigh  unto  Jop'pa,  the  disciples, 
hearing  that  Pe'ter  was  there,  sent  two  men  unto 
him,  intreating  him.  Delay  not  to  come  on  unto  us. 

39  And  Pe'ter  arose  and  went  with  them.  And  when 
he  was  come,  they  brought  him  into  the  upper 
chamber :  and  all  the  widows  stood  by  him  weeping, 
and  shewing  the  coats  and  garments  which  Dor'cas 

40  made,  while  she  was  with  them.  But  Pe'ter  put 
them  all  forth,  and  kneeled  down,  and  prayed;  and 
turning  to  the  body,  he  said,  Tab'i-tha,  arise.  And 
she  opened  her  eyes ;  and  when  she  saw  Pe'ter,   she 

41  sat  up.  And  he  gave  her  his  hand,  and  raised  her 
up;  and  calling  the  saints  and  widows,  he  presented 

42  her  alive.     And  it  became  known  throughout  all 
43 Jop'pa:  and  many  believed  on  the  Lord.     And  it 

came  to  pass,  that  he  abode  many  days  in   Jop'pa 
with  one  Si'mon  a  tanner. 

-Iv      Now  there  was  a  certain  man  in  Ctes-a-re'a,  Cor 

ne'li-us  by  name,  a  centurion  of  the  band  called  the 

2 1-tal'i-an  ^band,  a  devout  man,  and  one  that  feared  God 

with  all  his  house,  who  gave  much  alms  to  the  peo- 

3  pie,  and  prayed  to  God  alway.  He  saw  in  a  vision 
openly,  as  it  were  about  the  ninth  hour  of  the  day, 
an  angel  of  God  coming  in  unto  him,  and  saying  to 

4  him,  Cor-ne'li-us.  And  he,  fastening  his  eyes  upon 
him,  and  being  affrighted,  said,  What  is  it.  Lord? 
And  he  said  unto  him.  Thy  prayers  and  thine  alms 

5  are  gone  up  for  a  memorial  before  God.  And  now 
send  men  to  Jop'pa,  and  fetch  one  Si'mon,  who  is  sur- 

6  named  Pe'ter:  he  lodgeth  with  one  Si'mon  a  tanner, 

7  whose  house  is  by  the  sea  side.  And  when  the  an- 
gel that  spake  unto  him  was  departed,  he  called  two 
of  his  household-servants,  and  a  devout  soldier  of 

8 them  that  waited  on  him  continually;  and  having 
rehearsed  all  things  unto  them,  he  sent  them  to 
Jop'pa. 

9  Now  on  the  morrow,  as  they  were  on  their  jour- 
ney, and  drew  nigh  unto  the  city,  Pe'ter  went  up 
upon  the  housetop  to  pray,  about  the  sixth  hour : 
10 and   he    became    hungry,    and   desired  to  eat:    but 

11  while  they  made  ready,  he  fell  into  a  trance;  and 
he  beholdeth  the  heaven  opened,  and  a  certain  vessel 
descending,  as  it  were  a  great  sheet,    let  down  by 

12  four  corners  upon  the  earth  :  wherein  were  all  man- 
ner of  fourfooted  beasts  and  creeping  things  of  the 

13  earth  and  fowls  of  the  heaven.     And  there  came  a 
14 voice  to  him.  Rise,  Pe'ter;  kill  and  eat.     But  Pe'ter 

.said,  Not  so.  Lord ;  for  I  have  never  eaten  any  thing 

15  that  is  common  and  unclean.  And  a  voice  came  unto 
him  again  the  second  time.  What  God  hath  cleansed, 

16  make  not  thou  common.  And  this  was  done  thrice: 
and  straightway  the  vessel  was  received  up  into 
heaven. 

17  Now  while  Pe'ter  was  much  perplexed  in  him- 
self what  the  vision  which  he  had  seen  might 
mean,  behold,  the  men  that  were  sent  by  Cor- 
ne'li-us,  having  made   inquiry   for  Si'mon's    house, 

18  stood  before  the  gate,  and  called  and  asked  whether 
Si'mon,  which  was  suruamed  Pe'ter,    were  lodging 

19  there.  And  while  Pe'ter  thought  on  the  vision,  the 
Spirit  said  unto  him.  Behold,  three   men  seek  thee.

20  'Arise  therefore,  and  get  thee  down,  and  go  with  them, 
doubting  nothing :  for  I  have  sent  them. 

21  Then  Pe'ter  went  down  to  the  men  which  were  sent 
unto  him  from  Cor-ne'li-us ;  and  said,  Behold,  I  am  he  whom 
ye  seek  :  what  is  the  cause  wherefore  ye  are  come  ? 

22  And  they  said,  "'Cor-ne'li-us  the  centurion,  a  just  m^n, 
and  one  that  feareth  God,  and  "of  good  report  among  all  the 
nation  of  the  Jews,  was  warned  from  God  by  a  holy  angel 
to  send  for  thee  into  his  house,  and  to  hear  words  of  thee. 

23  Then  called  he  them  in,  and  lodged  them.  And  on 
the  morrow  Pe'ter  went  away  with  them,  "and  certain  breth- 
ren from  Jop'pa  accompanied  him. 

24  And  the  morrow  after  they  entered  into  Ce.s-a-re'a.  And 
Cor-ne'li-us  waited  for  them,  and  had  called  together  his 
kinsmen  and  near  friends. 

25  And  as  Pe'ter  was  coming  in,  Cor-ne'li-us  met  him,  and 
fell  down  at  his  feet,  and  worshipped  him. 

20  But  Pe'ter  took  him  up,  saying,  ^Stand  up :  I  myself 
also  am  a  man. 

27  And  as  he  talked  with  him,  he  went  in,  and  found 
many  that  were  come  together. 

28  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  know  how  'that  it  is  an 
unlawful  thing  for  a  man  that  is  a  Jew  to  keep  company,  or 
come  unto  one  of  another  nation ;  but  'God  hath  shewed 
me  that  I  should  not  call  any  man  common  or  unclean. 

29  Therefore  came  I  unto  you  without  gainsaying  as  soon 
as  I  was  sent  for:  I  ask  therefore  for  what  intent  ye  have 
sent  for  me? 

30  And  Cor-ne'li-us  said,  Four  days  ago  I  was  fasting  until 
this  hour;  and  at  the  ninth  hour  I  prayed  in  my  house, 
and,  behold,  'a  man  stood  before  me  'in  bright  clothing, 

31  And  said,  Cor-ne'li-us,  'thy  prayer  is  heard,  'and  thine 
alms  are  had  in  remembrance  in  the  sight  of  God. 

32  Send  therefore  to  Jop'pa,  and  call  hither  Si'mon,  whose 
surname  is  Pe'ter;  he  is  lodged  in  the  house  of  one  Si'mon 
a  tanner  by  the  sea  side :  who,  when  he  cometh,  shall 
speak  unto  thee. 

33  Immediately  therefore  I  sent  to  thee;  and  thou  hast  well 
done  that  ihou  art  come.  Now  therefore  are  we  all  here  present 
before  God,  to  hear  all  things  that  are  commanded  thee  of  God. 

34  %Then  Pe'ter  opened  his  mouth,  and  said,  "Of  a  truth 
I  perceive  that  God  is  no  respecter  of  persons : 

35  But  'in  every  nation  he  that  feareth  him  and  worketh 
righteousness  is  accepted  with  him. 

36  The  word  which  God  sent  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
"preaching  peace  by  Jesus  Christ :  ('he  is  Lord  of  all :) 

37  That  word,  /  say,  ye  know,  which  was  published 
throughout  all  Ju-de'a,  and  ""began  from  Gal'i-lee,  after  the 
baptism  which  John  preached; 

38  How  ''God  anointed  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth  with  the  Holy 
Ghost  and  with  power:  who  went  about  doing  good,  and  heal- 
ing all  that  were  oppressed  of  the  devil ;  'for  God  was  with  him. 

39  And  ■''we  are  witnesses  of  all  things  which  he  did  both 
in  the  land  of  the  Jews,  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  "whom  they 
slew  and  hanged  on  a  tree  : 

40  Him  *God  raised  up  the  third  day,  and  shewed  him  openly; 

41  'Not  to  all  the  people,  but  unto  witnesses  chosen  before 
of  God,  even  to  us,  *who  did  eat  and  drink  with  him  after  he 
ro.se  from  the  dead. 

42  And  'he  commanded  us  to  preach  unto  the  people,  and 
to  testify  "that  it  is  he  which  was  ordained  of  God  to  be  the 
Judge  "of  quick  and  dead. 

43  "To  him  give  all  the  prophets  witness,  that  through  his 
name  ''whosoevnr  believeth  in  him  shall  receive  remission 
of  sins. 

44  %^While  Pe'ter  yet  spake  these  words,  'the  Holy  Ghost 
fell  on  all  them  which  heard  the  word. 

45  'And  they  of  the  circumcision  which  believed  were 
astonished,   as    many  »8   came    with    Pe'ter,  'because  that 


20  But  arise,  and  get  thee  down,  and  go  with  them, 

21  nothing  doubting :  for  I  have  sent  them.  And  Pe'ter 
went  down  to  the  men,  and  said.  Behold,  I  am  he 
whom  ye  seek :  what  is  the  cause  wherefore  ye  are 

22 come?  And  they  said,  Cor-ne'li-us  a  centurion,  a 
righteous  man  and  one  that  feareth  God,  and  well 
reported  of  by  all  the  nation  of  the  Jews,  was  warned 
of  God  by  a  holy   angel    to  send  for  thee  into  his 

23  house,  and  to  hear  words  from  thee.  So  he  called 
them  in  and  lodged  them. 

And  on  the  morrow  he  arose  and  went  forth  with 
them,  and  certain  of  the  brethren  from  Jop'pa  accom- 

24  panied  him.  And  on  the  morrow  Hhey  entered  into 
Caes-a-re'a.  And  Cor-ne'li-us  was  waiting  for  them, 
having  called    together  his    kinsmen    and  his  near 

25  friends.  And  when  it  came  to  pass  that  Pe'ter  en- 
tered, Cor-ne'li-us  met  him,  and  fell  down  at  his  feet, 

26  and  worshipped  him.     But  Pe'ter  raised  him  up,  say- 
27ing,  Stand  up;    I  myself  also  am  a  man.     And  as 

he  talked  with  him,  he  went  in,  and  findeth  many 
28 come  together:  and  he  said   unto  them,  Ye  your- 
selves know  ^how  that  it  is  an  unlawful  thing  for  a 
man  that  is  a  Jew  to  join  himself  or  come  unto  one 
of  another  nation  ;  and  yet  unto  me  hath  God  shewed 
that  I  should  not  call  any  man  common  or  unclean  : 
29  wherefore  also  I  came   without  gainsaying,  when  I 
was  sent  for.     I  ask  therefore  with  what  intent  ye 
30 sent  for  me.     And  Cor-ne'li-us  said.  Four  days  ago, 
until  this  hour,  1  was    keeping  the  ninth  hour  of 
prayer  in  my  house ;  and  behold,  a  man  stood  be- 

31  fore  me  in  bright  apparel,  and  saith,  Cor-ne'li-us,  thy 
prayer  is  heard,  and  thine  alms  are  had    in  remem- 

32  brance  in  the  sight  of  God.  Send  therefore  to  Jop'pa, 
and  call  unto  thee  Si'mon,  who  is  surnamed  Pe'ter ; 
he  lodgeth   in  the  house  of  Si'mon  a  tanner,  by  the 

33 sea  side.     Forthwith  therefore  I  sent  to  thee;  and 
thou  hast  well  done  that  thou  art  come.     Now  there 
fore  we  are  all   here   present  in   the  sight  of  God, 
to  hear  all  things  that  have  been  commanded  thee 

34  of  the  Lord.  And  Pe'ter  opened  his  mouth,  aad 
said, 

Of  a  truth  I  perceive  that  God  is  no  respecter  of 

35  persons :  but  in  every  nation  he  that  feareth  him, 
and    worketh    righteousness,    is    acceptable  to  him. 

36  'The  word  which  he  sent  unto  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
preaching  'good  tidings  of  peace  by  Jesus  Christ  (he  is 

37  Lord  of  all) — that  saying  ye  yourselves  know,  which 
was  published  throughout  all  Ju-dee'a,  beginning  from 

38  Gal'i-lee,  after  the  baptism  which  John  preached ;  even 
Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  how  that  God  anointed  him  with 
the  Holy  Ghost  and  with  power;  who  went  a'.)0ut 
doing  good,  and  healing  all  that  were  oppressed  of 

39 the  devil;  for  God  was  with  him.  And  we  are  wit- 
nesses of  all  things  which  he  did  both  in  the  country 
of  the  Jews,  and  in  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  whom  also  they 

40  slew,  hanging  him  on  a  tree.  Him  God  raised  up 
the  third  day,  and  gave  him  to   be  made  manifest, 

41  not  to  all  the  people,  but  unto  witnesses  that  were 
chosen  before  of  God,  even  to  us,  who  did  eat  and 

42  drink  with  him  after  he  rose  from  the  dead.  And 
he  charged  us  to  preach  unto  the  people,  and  to  tes- 
tify that  this  is  he  which  is  ordained  of  God  to  be 

43  the  Judge  of  quick  and  dead.  To  him  bear  all  the 
prophets  witness,  that  through  his  name  every  one 
that  believeth  on  him  shall  receive  remission  of  sins. 

44  While  Pe'ter  yet  spake  these  words,  the  Holy 
Gho.st    fell    on  all    them    which    heard    the    word. 

45  And  they  of  the  circumcision  which  believed  were 
amazed,  as  many  as  came  with  Pe'ter,  because  that

on  the  Gentiles  also  was  poured  out  the  gift  of  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

46  For  they  heard  them  speak  with  tongues,  and  magnify 
God.     Then  answered  Pe'ter,

tized, which  have  received  the  Holy  Ghost  'as  well  as  we? 

48  "And  he  commanded  them  to  be  baptized  "'in  the  name 
of  the  Lord.     Then  prayed  they  him  to  tarry  certain  days. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

Peter  maketh  his  defence. 

AND  the  apostles  and  brethren  that  were  in  Ju-de'a,  heard 
that  the  Gentiles  had  also  received  the  word  of  God. 

2  And  when  Pe'ter  was  come  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  "they  that 
were  of  the  circumcision  contended  with  him, 

3  Saying,  'Thou  wentest  in  to  men  uncircumcised,  'and 
didst  eat  with  them. 

4  But  Pe'ter  rehearsed  the  matter  from  the  beginning,  and 
expounded  it  ''by  order  unto  them,  saying, 

5  'I  was  in  the  city  of  Jop'pa  praying :  and  in  a  trance  I 
saw  a  vision,  A  certain  vessel  descend,  as  it  had  been  a  great 
sheet,  let  down  from  heaven  by  four  corners;  and  it  came 
even  to  me : 

6  Upon  the  which  when  I  had  fastened  mine  eyes,  I  con- 
sidered, and  saw  fourfooted  beasts  of  the  earth,  and  wild 
beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and  fowls  of  the  air. 

7  And  I  heard  a  voice  saying  unto  me,  Arise,  Pe'ter;  slay, 
and  eat. 

8  But  I  said,  Not  so,  Lord :  for  nothing  common  or  un- 
clean hath  at  any  time  entered  into  my  mouth. 

9  But  the  voice  answered  me  again  from  heaven,  What 
God  hath  cleansed,  that  call  not  thou  common. 

10  And  this  was  done  three  times :  and  all  were  drawn  up 
again  into  heaven. 

11  And,  behold,  immediately  there  were  three  men  already 
come  unto  the  house  where  I  was,  sent  from  Ces-a-re'a  unto  me. 

12  And  ■'^the  Spirit  bade  me  go  with  them,  nothing  doubt- 
mg.  Moreover  "these  six  brethren  accompanied  me,  and 
we  entered  into  the  man's  house : 

13  ''And  he  showed  us  how  he  had  seen  an  angel  in  his 
house,  which  stood  and  said  unto  him.  Send  men  to  Jop'pa, 
and  cal!  for  Si'mon,  whose  surname  is  Pe'ter; 

14  Who  shall  tell  thee  words,  whereby  thou  and  all  thy 
house  shall  be  saved. 

1 5  And  as  I  began  to  speak,  the  Holy  Ghost  fell  on  them, 
'as  on  us  at  the  beginning. 

16  Then  remembered  I  the  word  of  the  Lord,  how  that  he 
said,  *John  indeed  baptized  with  water;  but  'ye  shall  be  bap- 
tized with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

17  "Forasmuch  then  as  God  gave  them  the  like  gift  as  he 
did  unto  us,  who  believed  on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  "what 
was  I,  that  I  could  withstand  God? 

18  When  they  heard  these  things,  they  held  their  peace, 
and  glorified  God,  saying,  "Then  hath  God  also  to  the  Gen- 
tiles granted  repentance  unto  life. 

19  ^"Now  they  which  were  scattered  abroad  upon  the 
persecution  that  arose  about  Ste'phen  travelled  as  far  as 
Phe-ni'ce,  and  Cy'prus,  and  An'ti-och,  preaching  the  word  to 
none  but  unto  the  Jews  only. 

20  And  some  of  them  were  men  of  Cy'prus  and  Cy-re'ne, 
which,  when  they  were  come  to  An'ti-och,  spake  unto  'the 
Gre'cians,  preaching  the  Lord  Jesus. 

21  And  'the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with  them :  and  a  great 
number  believed,  and  'turned  unto  the  Lord. 

22  ^Then  tidings  of  the.se  things  came  unto  the  ears  of 
the  church  which  was  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  they  sent  forth 
'Bar'na-bas,  that  he  should  go  as  far  as  An'ti-och. 

23  Who,  when  he  came,  and  had  seen  the  grace  of  God, 
was  glad,  and  "exhorted  them  all,  that  with  purpose  of 
heart  they  would  cleave  unto  the  Lord. 


on  the  Gentiles  also  was  poured  out  the  gift  of  the 

46  Holy  Ghost.  For  they  heard  them  speak  with 
tongues,  and  magnify  God.     Then  answered  Pe'ter, 

47  Can  any  man  forbid  the  water,  that  these  should  not 
be  baptized,  which  have  received  the  Holy  Ghost  as 

48  well  as  we  ?  And  he  commanded  them  to  be  bap- 
tized in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ.  Then  prayed 
they  him  to  tarry  certain  days. 

+J-  Now  the  apostles  and  the  brethren  that  were  in 
Ju-dffi'a  heard  that  the  Gentiles  also  had  received  the 

2  word  of  God.  And  when  Pe'ter  was  come  up  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  they  that  were  of  the  circumcision  con- 

3  tended  with  him,  saying,  Thou   wentest  in   to  men 

4  uncircumcised,  and  didst  eat  with  them.  But  Pe'ter 
began,  and  expounded  the  matter  unto  them  in  order, 

5 saying,  I  was  in  the  city  of  Jop'pa  praying:  and  in  a 
trance  I  saw  a  vision,  a  certain  vessel  descend- 
ing, as  it  were  a  great  sheet  let  down  from  heaven 

6 by  four  corners;  and  it  came  even  unto  me:  upon 
the  which  when  I  had  fastened  mine  eyes,  I  con- 
sidered, and  saw  the  fourfooted  beasts  of  the  earth 
and   wild    beasts   and    creeping   things   and    fowls 

7  of  the   heaven.     And    I    heard  also   a  voice   say- 

8  ing  unto  me,  Rise,  Pe'ter ;  kill  and  eat.  But  I  said, 
Not  so.  Lord:  for  nothing  common  or  unclean  hath 

9  ever  entered  into  my  mouth.  But  a  voice  answered 
the  second  time  out  of  heaven.  What  God   hath 

10 cleansed,  make  not  thou  common.  And  this  was 
done    thrice:    and   all   were    drawn   up   again    into 

11  heaven.  And  behold,  forthwith  three  men  stood  be 
fore  the  house  in  which  we  were,  having  been  sent 

12  from  Cses-a-re'a  unto  me.  And  the  Spirit  bade  me  go 
with  them,  making  no  distinction.  And  these  six 
brethren  also  accompanied  me ;  and  we  entered  into 

13 the  man's  house:  and  he  told  us  how  he  had  seen 
the  angel  standing  in  his  house,  and  saying.  Send  to 
Jop'pa,  and  fetch  Si'mon,  whose  surname  is  Pe'ter; 

14  who  shall  speak  unto  thee  words,  whereby  thou  shalt 

15  be  saved,  thou  and  all  thy  house.  And  as  I  began 
to  speak,  the  Holy  Ghost  fell  on  them,  even  as  on 

16  us  at  the  beginning.  And  I  remembered  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  how  that  he  said,  John  indeed  baptized 
with  water;  but  ye  shall  be  baptized  'with  the  Holy 

17  Ghost.  If  then  God  gave  unto  them  the  like  gift 
as  he  did  also  unto  us,  when  we  believed  on  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who  was  I,  that   I  could  with- 

18 stand  God?  And  when  they  heard  these  things, 
they  held  their  peace,  and  glorified  God,  saying. 
Then  to  the  Gentiles  also  hath  God  granted  repent- 
ance unto  life. 

19  They  therefore  that  were  scattered  abroad  upon 
the  tribulation  that  arose  about  Ste'phen  travelled  as 
far  as  Phce-ni'ci-a,  and  Cy'prus,  and  An'ti-och,  speaking 

20  the  word  to  none  save  only  to  Jews.  But  there 
were  some  of  them,  men  of  Cy'prus  and  Cy-re'ne, 
who,  when  they  were  come  to  An'ti-och,  spake  unto 

21  the  ^Greeks  also,  preaching  the  Lord  Jesus.  And 
the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with  them :    and  a  great 

22  number  that  believed  turned  unto  the  Lord.  And 
the  report  concerning  them  came  to  the  ears  of 
the  church  which  was  in  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  they  sent 

23  forth  Bar'na-bas  as  far  as  An'ti-och :  who,  when  ho 
was  come,  and  had  seen  the  grace  of  God,  was 
glad;  and  he  exhorted  them  all, 'that  with  pur- 
pose of  heart  they  would  cleave   unto   the  Lord:

24  For  he  was  a  good  man,  and  "full  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
and  of  faith  :  "and  much  people  was  added  unto  the  Lord. 

25  Then  departed  Bar'na-bas  to  'Tar'sus,  for  to  seek  Saul : 

26  And  when  he  had  found  him,  he  brought  him  unto 
An'ti-och.  And  it  came  to  pa.ss,  that  a  whole  year  they 
assembled  themselves  ||with  the  church,  and  taught  much 
people.  And  the  disciples  were  called  Christians  first  in 
An  ti-och. 

27  ^And  in  these  days  came  "prophets  from  Je-ru'sa-Iem 
unto  An'ti-och. 

28  And  there  stood  up  one  of  them  named  'Ag'a-bus,  and 
signified  by  the  Spirit  that  there  should  be  great  dearth 
throughout  all  the  world :  which  came  to  pass  in  the  days 
of  Clau'di-us  Ce'sar. 

29  Then  the  disciples,  every  man  according  to  his  ability,  de- 
termined to  send  'relief  unto  the  brethren  which  dwelt  in  Ju-de'a: 

30  ■'Which  also  they  did,  and  sent  it  to  the  elders  by  the 
hands  of  Bar'na-bas  and  Saul. 

CHAPTER   XII. 

Herod  persecuUth  the  Christians. 

"VrOW  about  that  time,  Her'od  the  king  ||  stretched  forth 
i-N    his  hands  to  vex  certain  of  the  church. 

2  And  he  killed  James  "the  brother  of  John  with  the  sword. 

3  And  because  he  saw  it  pleased  the  Jews,  he  proceeded 
further  to  take  Pe'ter  also.  (Then  were  'the  days  of  un- 
leavened bread.) 

4'  And  "when  he  had  apprehended  him,  he  put  him  in  prison, 
and  delivered  him  to  four  quaternions  of  soldiers  to  keep  him ; 
intending  after  Easter  to  bring  him  forth  to  the  people. 

5  Pe'ter  therefore  was  kept  in  prison:  but  || prayer  was 
made  without  ceasing  of  the  church  unto  God  for  him. 

6  And  when  Her'od  would  have  brought  him  forth,  the  same 
night  Pe'ter  was  sleeping  between  two  soldiers,  bound  with 
two  chains:  and  the  keepers  before  the  door  kept  the  prison. 

7  And,  behold,  "'the  angel  of  the  Lord  came  upon  him,  and 
a  light  shined  in  the  prison :  and  he  smote  Pe'ter  on  the 
sid'j,  and  raised  him  up,  saying.  Arise  up  quickly.  And 
his  chains  fell  off  from  his  hands. 

8  And  the  angel  said  unto  him,  Gird  thyself,  and  bind  on 
thy  sandals:  and  so  he  did.  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Cast 
thy  garment  about  thee,  and.  follow  me. 

9  And  he  went  out,  and  followed  him;  and'  wist  not  thatit  was 
true  which  was  done  by  the  angel;  but  though  t-'he  sawa  vi.sion. 

10  When  they  were  past  the  first  and  the  second  ward,  they 
came  unto  the  iron  gate  that  leadeth  unto  the  city;  "which 
opened  to  them  of  his  own  accord  :  and  they  went  out,  and 
passed  on  through  one  street ;  and  forthwith  the  angel  de- 
parted from  him. 

11  And  when  Pe'ter  was  come  to  himself,  he  said.  Now  I 
know  of  a  surety,  that  ''the  Lord  hath  sent  his  angel,  and 
'hath  delivered  me  out  of  the  hand  of  Her'od,  and  from  all 
the  expectation  of  the  people  of  the  Jews. 

12  And  when  he  had  considered  Ihe  thing,  *he  came  to 
the  hou.se  of  Ma'ry  the  mother  of  'John,  whose  surname 
was  Mark ;  where  many  were  gathered  together  ""praying. 

13  And  as  Pe'ter  knocked  at  the  door  of  the  gate,  a  damsel 
came  ||to  hearken,  named  Rho'da. 

14  And  when  she  knew  Pe'ter's  voice,  she  opened  not  the 
gate  for  gladness,  but  ran  in,  and  told  how  Pe'ter  stood  be- 
fore the  gate. 

15  And  they  said  unto  her,  Thou  art  mad.  But  she  constantly 
affirmed  that  it  was  even  so.  Then  .said  tliey,  "Itis  his  angel. 

16  But  Pe'ter  continued  knocking  :  and  wlien  they  had 
opened  the  door,  and  .saw  him,  they  were  astonished. 

17  But  he,  "beckoning  unto  them  with  the  hand  to  hold 
their  peace,  declared  unto  them  how  the  Lord  had  brought 
him  out  of  the  prison.  And  he  said.  Go  shew  these  things 
unto  James,  and  to  the  brethren.  And  he  dej)arted,  and 
went  into  another  place.  • 


24  for  he  was  a  good  man,  and  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost 
and  of  faith :  and  much  people  was  added  unto  the 

25  Lord.     And  he  went  forth  to  Tar'sus  to  seek  for 

26  Saul :  and  when  he  had  found  him,  he  brought  him 
unto  An'ti-och.     And  it  came  to  pass,  that  even  for 
a  whole  year  they  were  gathered  together  'with  the 
church,  and  taught  much  people ;  and  that  the  dis 
ciples  were  called  Christians  first  in  An'ti-och. 

27  Now   in  these  days   there   came   down   prophets 

28  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  An'ti-och.  And  there  stood  up 
one  of  them  named  Ag'a-bus,  and  signified  by  the 
Spirit  that  there  should  be  a  great  famine  over  all 
Hhe  world:  which   came   to  pass  in    the    days    of 

29  Clau'di-us.  And  the  disciples,  every  man  according 
to    his  ability,  determined   to    send  'relief  unto  the 

30  brethren  that  dwelt  in  Ju-dse'a :  which  also  they  did, 
sending  it  to  the  elders  by  the  hand  of  Bar'na-bas 
and  Saul. 

+^     Now  about  that  time  Her'od  the  king  put  forth  his 

2  hands  to  afflict  certain  of  the  church.    And  he  killed 

3  James  the  brother  of  John  with  the  sword.  And 
when  he  saw  that  it  pleased  the  Jews,  he  proceeded 
to  seize  Pe'ter  also.     And  those  were  the  days  of  un- 

4  leavened  bread.  And  when  he  had  taken  him,  he 
put  him  in  prison,  and  delivered  him  to  four  quater- 
nions of  soldiers  to  guard  him,  intending  after  the 

5  Passover  to  bring  him  forth  to  the  people.  Pe'ter 
therefore  was  kept  in  the  prison:  but  prayer  was 
made   earnestly   of  the  church    unto    God  for  him. 

6  And  when  Her'od  was  about  to  bring  him  forth,  the 
sanie  night  Pe'ter  was  sleeping  between  two  soldiers, 
bound  with  two  chains  :  and  guards  before  the  door 

7  kept  the  prison.  And  behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
stood  by  him,  and  a  light  shined  in  the  cell :  and  he 
smote  Pe'ter  on  the  side,  and  awoke  him,  saying, 
Rise  up  quickly.     And   his  chains  fell  off  from  his 

8  hands.  And  the  angel  said  unto  him.  Gird  thyself, 
and  bind  on  thy  sandals.  And  he  did  so.  And  he 
saith  unto  him.  Cast  thy  garment  about  thee,  and 

9  follow  me.  And  he  went  out,  and  followed  ;  and  he 
wist  not  that  it  was  true  which  was  done  ^by  "the 

lOaugel,  but  thought  he  saw  a  vision.  And  when  they 
were  past  the  first  and  the  second  ward,  they  came 
unto  the  iron  gate  that  leadeth  into  the  city;  which 
opened  to  them  of  its  own  accord:  and  they  went 
out,  and  passed  on  through  one  street;  andstraight- 

11  way  the  angel  departed  from  him.  And  Mhen 
Pe'ter  was  come  to  himself,  he  said,  Now  I  know  of 
a  truth,  that  the  Lord  hath  sent  forth  his  angel  and 
delivered  me  out  of  the  hand  of  Her'od,  and  from 

12ali  the  expectation  of  the  people  of  the  Jews.  And 
when  he  had  considered  the  thing,  he  came  to  the 
house  of  Ma'ry  the  mother  of  John  whose  surname 
was  Mark;  where  many  were  gathered  together  and 

13  were  praying.  And  when  he  knocked  at  the  door 
of  the  gate,  a  maid  came  to  answer,  named  Rho'da. 

14  And  when  she  knew  Pe'ter's  voice,  she  opened  not 
the  gate  for  joy,  but  ran    in,  and  told  that  Pe'ter 

15  stood  before  the  gate.  And  they  said  unto  her, 
Thou  art  mad.     But  she  confidently  affirmed  that  it 

16was  even  so.  And  they  said,  It  is  his  angel.  But 
Pe'ter    continued    knocking:    and   when    they  had 

17  opened,  they  saw  him,  and  were  amazed.  But  he, 
beckoning  unto  them  with  the  hand  to  hold  tlieir 
peace,  declared  unto  them  how  the  Lord  had 
brought  him  forth  out  of  the  prison.  And  he  said. 
Tell  these  tilings  unto  James,  and  to  tiie  breth- 
ren.     And  he  departed,  and  went  to  another  place.

18  Now  as  soon  as  it  was  day,  there  was  no  small  stir 
among  the  soldiers,  what  was  become  of  Pe'ter. 

19  And  when  Her'od  had  sought  for  him,  and  found  him 
not,  he  examined  the  keepers,  and  commanded  that  they 
should  be  put  to  death.  And  he  went  down  from  Ju-de'a 
to  Ces-a-re'a,  and  there  abode. 

20  ^[And  Her'od  ||  was  highly  displeased  with  them  of  Tyre 
and  Si'don  :  but  taey  came  with  one  accord  to  him,  and 
having  made  Blas'tus  fthe  king's  chamberlain  their  friend, 
desired  peace;  because  "their  country  was  nourished  by  the 
king's  country. 

21  And  upon  a  set  day  Her'od,  arrayed  in  royal  apparel, 
sat  upon  his  throne,  and  made  an  oration  unto  them. 

22  And  the  people  gave  a  sliout,  saying,  It  is  the  voice  of 
a  god,  and"  not  of  a  man. 

23  And  immediately  the  angel  of  the  Lord  'smote  him 
because  'he  gave  not  God  the  glory :  and  he  was  eaten  of 
worms,  and  gave  up  the  ghost. 

24  IfBut  'the  word  of  God  grew  and  multiplied. 

25  And  Bar'ua-bas  and  Saul  returned  from  Je-ru'sa-lem, 
when  they  had  fulfilled  their  ||  ministry,  and  'took  with  them 
"John,  whose  surname  was  Mark. 

CHAPTER   XIII, 

Faui  and  Barnadas  sent  to  the  Gentiles. 

NOW  there  were  °in  the  church  thai  was  at  An'ti-och 
certain  prophets  and  teachers ;  as  'Bar'na-ba.?,  and 
Sim'e-on  that  was  called  Ni'ger,  and  "Lu'ci-us,  of  Cy-re'ne, 
and  Mau'a-en,  || which  had  been  brought  up  with  Her'od 
the  tetrarch,  and  Saul. 

2  As  they  ministered  to  the  Lord,  and  fasted,  the  Holy 
Ghost  said,  ''Separate  me  Bar'na-bas  and  Saul  for  the  work 
'whereunto  I  have  called  them, 

3  And  Avheu  they  had  fasted  and  prayed,  and  laid  their 
hands  on  them,  they  sent  them  away. 

4  ^So  they,  being  sent  forth  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  departed 
unto  Se-leu'ci-a ;  and  from  thence  they  sailed  to  "Cy'prus. 

5  And  when  they  were  at  Sal'a-mis,  'they  preached  the 
word  of  God  in  the  synagogues  of  the  Jews:  and  they 
had  also  'John  to  their  minister. 

6  And  when  they  had  gone  through  the  isle  unto  Pa'phos, 
they  found  'a  certain  sorcerer,  a  false  prophet,  a  Jew,  whose 
name  was  Bar-je'sus : 

7  Which  was  with  the  deputy  of  the  country,  Ser'gi-us 
Pau'lus,  a  prudent  man ;  who  called  for  Bar'na-bas  and 
Saul,  and  desired  to  hear  the  word  of  God. 

8  But  'El'y-mas  the  sorcerer  (for  so  is  his  name  by  inter- 
pretation) withstood  them,  seeking  to  turn  away  the  deputy 
from  the  faith. 

9  Then  Saul,  (who  also  is  called  Paul,)  "filled  with  the 
Holy  Ghost,  set  his  eyes  on  him, 

10  And  said,  O  full  of  all  subtilty  and  all  mischief,  "thou 
child  of  the  devil,  thou  enemy  of  all  righteousness,  wilt  thou 
not  cease  to  pervert  the  right  ways  of  the  Lord? 

11  And  now,  behold,  "the  hand  of  the  Lord  is  upon  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  be  blind,  not  seeing  the  sun  for  a  season. 
And  immediately  there  fell  on  him  a  mist  and  a  darkness; 
and  he  went  about  seeking  some  t(-  lead  him  by  the  hand. 

12  Then  the  deputy,  when  he  saw  what  was  done,  be- 
lieved, being  astonished  at  the  doctrine  of  the  Lord. 

13  Now  when  Paul  and  his  company  loosed  from  Pa'phos, 
they  came  to  Per'ga  in  Pam-phyl'i-a :  and  "John  departing 
from  them  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

14  ^But  when  they  departed  from  Per'ga,  they  came  to 
An'ti-och  in  Pi-sid'i-a,  and  'went  into  the  synagogue  on  the 
sabbath  day,  and  sat  down. 

15  And  'after  the  reading  of  the  law  and  the  prophets,  the 
rulers  of  the  synagogue  sent  unto  them,  saying,  Ye  men  and 
brethren,  if  ye  have  'any  word  of  exhortation  for  the  people, 
say  on. 


18  Now  as  soon  at  it  was  day,  there  was  no  small  stir 

19  among  the  soldiers,  what  was  become  of  Pe'ter.  And 
when  Her'od  had  sought  for  him,  and  found  him 
not,  he  examined  the  guards,  and  commanded  that 
they  should  be  'put  to  death.  And  he  went  down 
from  Ju-dse'a  to  Cses-a-re'a,  and  tarried  there. 

20  Now  he  was  highly  displeased  with  them  of  Tyre 
and  Si'don :  and  they  came  with  one  accord  to  him, 
and,  having  made  Blas'tus  the  king's  chamberlain 
their  friend,  they  asked  for  peace,  because  their  coun- 

21  try  was  fed  from  the  king's  country.  And  upon  a 
set  day  Her'od  arrayed  himself  in  royal  apparel,  and 
sat  on  the  ^throne,  and  made  an  oration  unto  them. 

22  And  the  people  shouted,  saying,  The  voice  of  a  god, 

23  and  not  of  a  man.  And  immediately  an  angel  of 
the  Lord  smote  him,  because  he  gave  not  God  the 
glory :  and  he  was  eaten  of  worms,  and  gave  up  the 
ghost. 

24  But  the  word  of  God  grew  and  multiplied. 

25  And  Bar'na-bas  and  Saul  returned  'from  Je-ru'sa- 
lem,  when  they  had  fulfilled  their  ministration,  taking 
with  them  John  whose  surname  was  Mark. 

iO  Now  there  were  at  An'ti-och,  in  the  church  that 
was  there,  prophets  and  teachers,  Bar'na-bas,  and  Sym'- 
e-on  that  was  called  Ni'ger,  and  Lu'ci-us,  of  Cy-re'ne, 
and  Man'a-en  the  foster-brother  of  Her'od  the  te- 

2  trarch,  and  Saul.  And  as  they  ministered  to  the 
Lord,  and  fasted,  the  Holy  Ghost  said.  Separate  me 
Bar'na-bas  and  Saul  for  the  work  whereunto  I  have 

3  called  them.  Then,  when  they  had  fasted  and  prayed 
and  laid  their  hands  on  them,  they  sent  them  away 

4  So,  they  being  sent  forth  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  went 
down  to  Se-leu'ci-a ;  and  from  thence  they  sailed  to 

5  Cy'prus.  And  when  they  were  at  Sal'a-mis,  they 
proclaimed  the  word  of  God  in  the  synagogues  of  the 
Jews:  and  they  had  also  John  as  their  attendant 

6  And  when  they  had  gone  through  the  whole  island 
unto  Pa'phos,  they  found  a  certain  ''sorcerer,  a  false 

7  prophet,  a  Jew,  whose  name  was  Bar-Je'sus;  which 
was  with  the  proconsul  Ser'gi-us  Pau'lus,  a  man  of 
understanding.     The  same  called  unto  him  Bar'na-bas 

Sand  Saul,  and  sought  to  hear  the  word  of  God.     But 
El'y-mas  the  ^sorcerer  (for  so  is  his  name  by  intorpre 
tation)  withstood  them,   seeking  to   turn  aside  the 

9  proconsul  from  the  faith.  But  Saul,  who  is  also 
calkd  Paul,  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  fastened  his 

10  eyes  on  him,  and  said,  O  full  of  all  guile  and  all 
villany,  thou  son  of  the  devil,  thou  enemy  of  all 
righteousness,  wilt  thou  not  cease  to  pervert  the  right 

11  ways  of  the  Lord?  And  now,  behold,  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be  blind,  not 
seeing  the  sun  'for  a  season.  And  immediately  there 
fell  on  him  a  mist  and  a  darkness ;  and  he  went  about 

12  seeking  some  to  lead  him  by  the  hand.     Then  the 

Eroconsul,  when   he  saw  what  was  done,  believed, 
eing  astonished  at  the  teaching  of  the  Lord. 

13  Now  Paul  and  his  company  set  sail  from  Pa'phos, 
and  came  to  Per'ga  in  Pam-phyl'i-a:  and  John  departed 

14  from  them  and  returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  But  they, 
passing  through  from  Per'ga,  came  to  An'ti-och  of 
Pi-sid'i-a ;  and  they  went  into  the  synagogue  on  the 

15sabbath  day,  and  sat  dow".  And  after  the  reading 
of  the  law  and  the  prophets  the  rulers  of  the  syna- 
gogue sent  unto  them,  saying.  Brethren,  if  ye  nave 
any  word   of  exhortation  for  the   people,  say  on.

16  Then  Paul  stood  up,  and  'beckoning  with  his  hand, 
said.  Men  of  Is'ra-el,  and  "ye  that  fear  God,  give  audience. 

17  The  God  of  this  people  of  Is'ra-el  "'cho.se  our  fathers,  and 
exalted  the  people  "when  they  dwelt  as  strangers  in  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  'and  with  a  high  arm  brought  he  them  out  of  it. 

18  And  "about  the  time  of  forty  years  fsuffered  he  their 
manners  in  the  wilderness. 

19  And  when  ''he  had  destroyed  seven  nations  in  the  land 
of  Cha'naan,  "he  divided  their  land  to  them  by  lot. 

20  And  after  that  ''he  gave  unto  them  judges  about  the  space 
of  four  hundred  and  fifty  years,  'until  Sam'u-el  the  prophet. 

21  -^And  afterward  they  desired  a  king:  and  God  gave 
unto  them  Saul  the  son  of  Cis,  a  man  of  the  tribe  of  Ben'- 
ja-min,  by  the  space  of  forty  years. 

22  And  'when  he  had  removed  him,  *he  raised  up  unto 
them  Da'vid  to  be  their  king :  to  whom  also  he  gave  testi- 
mony, and  said,  'T  have  found  Da'vid  the  son  of  Jes'se,  *a 
man  after  mine  own  heart,  which  shall  fulfil  all  my  will. 

23  'Of  this  man's  seed  hath  God,  according  ""to  his  promise, 
raised  unto  Is'ra-el  "a  Saviour,  Jesus: 

24  "When  John  had  first  preached  before  his  coming  the 
baptism  of  repentance  to  all  the  people  of  Is'ra-el. 

25  And  as  John  fulfilled  his  course,  he  said,  ^Whom  think 
ye  that  I  am  ?  I  am  not  he.  But,  behold,  there  cometh  one 
after  me,  whose  shoes  of  his  feet  I  am  not  worthy  to  loose. 

26  Men  and  brethren,  children  of  the  stock  of  A'bra-ham, 
and  whosoever  among  you  feareth  God,  «to  you  is  the  word 
of  this  salvation  sent. 

27  For  they  that  dwell  at  Je-ru'salem,  and  their  rulers,  "^be- 
cause  they  knew  him  not,  nor  yet  the  voices  of  the  prophets 
'which  are  read  every  sabbath  day,  'they  have  fulfilled  them 
in  condemning  him. 

28  "And  though  they  found  no  cause  of  death  in  him,  "yet 
desired  they  Pi'late  that  he  should  be  slain. 

29  "And  when  they  had  fulfilled  all  that  was  written  of  him, 
'they  took  him  down  from  the  tree,  and  laidAiwiin  a  sepulchre. 

30  "But  God  raised  him  from  the  dead : 

31  And  ""he  was  seen  many  days  of  them  which  came  up 
with  him  'from  Gal'i-lee  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ''who  are  his  wit- 
nesses unto  the  people. 

32  And  we  declare  unto  you  glad  tidings,  how  that  'the 
promise  which  was  made  unto  the  fathers, 

33  God  hath  fulfilled  the  same  unto  us  their  children,  in  that 
he  hath  raised  up  Jesus  again :  as  it  is  also  written  in  the  second 
psalm,  •'Thou  art  my  Son,  this  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

34  And  as  concerning  that  he  raised  him  up  from  the 
dead,  now  no  more  to  return  to  corruption,  he  said  on  this 
wise,  'I  will  give  you  the  sure  fmercies  of  Da'vid. 

35  Wherefore  he  saith  also  in  another  -psalm,  ''Thou  shalt 
not  suffer  thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

36  For  Da'vid,  ||  after  he  had  served  his  own  generation 
by  the  will  of  God,  'fell  on  sleep,  and  was  laid  unto  his 
fathers,  and  saw  corruption : 

37  But  he,  whom  God  rai.scd  again,  .saw  no  corruption. 

38  II Be  it  known  unto  you  therefore,  men  and  brethren, 
that  ^through  this  man  is  preached  unto  you  the  forgiveness 
of  sins  ; 

39  And  'by  him  all  that  believe  are  justified  from  all  things, 
from  which  ye  could  not  be  ju.stified  by  the  law  of  Mo'ses. 

40  Beware  therefore,  lest  that  comfe  upon  you,  which  is 
.spoken  of  in  "the  prophets; 

41  Behold,  ye  dcspisers,  and  wonder,  and  perish :  for  I 
work  a  work  in  your  days,  a  work  which  ye  shall  in  no 
wise  believe,  though  a  man  declare  it  unto  you. 

42  And  when  the  Jews  were  gone  out  of  the  synagogue, 
the  Gentiles  besought  that  these  words  might  be  preached 
to  them  fthe  next  sabbath. 

43  Now  when  the  congregation  was  broken  up,  many 
of  the  Jews  and   religious   proselytes  followed   Paul  and 


16  And  Paul  stood  up,  and  beckoning  with  the  hand 


Men  of  Is'j-a-el,  and  ye  that   fear  God,  hearken. 

17  The  God  of  this  people  Is'ra-el  chose  our  fathers,  and 
exalted  the  people  when  they  sojourned  in  the  land 
of  E'gypt,  and  with  a  high  arm  led  he  them  forth  out 

18  of  it.     And  for  about  the  time  of  forty  years  'suffered 

19  he  their  manners  in  the  wilderness.  And  when  he 
had  destroyed  seven  nations  in  the  land  of  Ca'naan, 
he  gave  them  their  land  for  an  inheritance,  for  about 

20  four  hundred  and  fifty  years :  and  after  these  things 

21  he  gave  i^em  judges  until  Sam'u-el  the  prophet.  And 
afterward  they  asked  for  a  king :  and  God  gave  unto 
them  Saul  the  son  of  Kish,  a  man  of  the  tribe  of 

22  Ben'ja-min,  for  the  space  of  forty  years.  'And  when 
he  had  removed  him,  he  raised  up  Da'vid  to  be  their 
king ;  to  whom  also  he  bare  witness,  and  said,  I  have 
found  Da'vid  the  son  of  Jes'se,  a  man  after  my  heart, 

23  who  shall  do  all  my  H\'\\\.  Of  this  man's  seed  hath 
God  according  to   promise  brought  unto  Is'ra-el  a 

24  Saviour,  Jesus ;  when  John  had  first  preached  'before 
his  coming  the   baptism   of  repentance   to  all   the 

25  people  of  Is'ra-el.  And  as  John  was  fulfilling  his 
course,  he  said.  What  suppose  ye  that  I  am  ?  I  am 
not  he.  But  behold,  there  cometh  one  after  me,  the 
shoes  of  whose   feet  I  am  not  worthy   to    unloose. 

26  Brethren,  children  of  the  stock  of  A'bra-ham,  and 
those  among  you  that  fear  God,  to  us  is  the  word  of 

27  this  salvation  sent  forth.  For  they  that  dwell  in 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  their  rulers,  because  they  knew  him 
not,  nor  the  voices  of  the  prophets  which  are  read 
every  sabbath,   fulfilled  them  by   condemning  him. 

28  And  though  they  found  no  cause  of  death  in  him, 
yet  asked  they  of  Pi'late  that  he  should  be  slain. 

29  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  all  things  that  were 
written  of  him,  they  took  him  down  from  the  tree, 

30  and  laid  him  in  a  tomb.     But  God  raised  him  from 

31  the  dead :  and  he  was  seen  for  many  days  of  them 
that  came  up  with  him  from  Gal'i-lee  to  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

32  who  are  now  his  witnessess  unto  the  people.  And 
we  bring  you  good  tidings  of  the  promise  made  unto 

33 the  fathers,  how  that  God  hath  fulfilled  the  same 
unto  our  children,  in  that  he  raised  up  Jesus ;  as  also 
it  is  written  in  the  second  psalm.  Thou  art  my  Son, 

34  this  day  have  I  begotten  thee.  And  as  concerning 
that  he  raised  him  up  from  the  dead,  now  no  more 
to  return  to  corruption,  he  hath  spoken  on  this  wise, 
I  will  give  you  the  holy  and  sure  blessings  of  Da'vid. 

35  Because  he  saith  also   in    another  psalm,  Thou  wilt 

36  not  give  thy  Holy  One  to  see  corruption.  For  Da'vid, 
after  he  had  ''in  his  own  generation  served  the  coun- 
sel of  God,  fell  on  sleep,  and  was  laid  unto  his  fathers, 

37  and  saw  corruption  :  but  he  whom  God  raised  up  saw 

38  no  corruption.  Be  it  known  unto  you  therefore, 
brethren,  that  through  this  man  is  proclaimed   unto 

39  you  remission  of  sins :  and  by  him  every  one  that 
believeth  is  justified  from  all  things,  from  which  ye 

40could  not  be  justified  by  the  law  of  Mo'ses.  Beware 
therefore,  lest  that  come  upon  you,  which  is  spoken 
in  the  prophets; 

41  Behold,  ye  despisers,  and  wonder,  and  'perish ; 
For  I  work  a  work  in  your  days, 
A  work  which  ye  shall  iu  no  wise  believe,  if  one 

declare  it  unto  you. 

42  And  as  they  went  out,  they  besought  that  these 
words  might  be  spoken  to  them  the  next  sabbath. 

43  Now  when  the  synagogue  broke  up,  many  of  the 
Jews  and  of  the  devout  proselytes  followed  Paul  and

Bar'na-bas ;  who,  speaking  to  them,  "persuaded  them  to  con- 
tinue in  "the  grace  of  God. 

44  ^And  the  next  sabbath  day  came  almost  the  whole 
city  together  to  hear  the  word  of  God. 

45  But  when  the  Jews  saw  the  multitudes,  they  were  filled 
with  envy,  and  "spake  against  those  things  which  were 
spoken  by  Paul,  contradicting  and  blaspheming. 

46  Then  Paul  and  Bar'na-bas  waxed  bold,  and  said, 'It  was 
necessary  that  the  word  of  God  should  first  have  been  spoken 
to  you :  but  'seeing  you  put  it  from  you,  and  judge  yourselves 
unworthy  of  everlasting  life,  lo,  'we  turn  to  the  Gentiles. 

47  For  so  hath  the  Lord  commanded  us,  saying,  'I  have 
set  thee  to  be  a  light  of  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  shouldest  be 
for  salvation  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

48  And  when  the  Gentiles  heard  this,  they  were  glad,  and 
glorified  the  word  of  the  Lord :  and  "as  many  as  were  or- 
dained to  eternal  life  believed. 

49  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  published  throughout 
all  the  region. 

50  But  the  Jews  stirred  up  the  devout  and  honourable 
women,  and  the  chief  men  of  the  city,  and  ^raised  persecu- 
tion against  Paul  and  Bar'na-bas,  and  expelled  them  out  of 
their  coasts. 

51  "But  they  shook  off  the  dust  of  their  feet  against  them, 
and  came  unto  I-co'ni-um. 

52  And  the  disciples  'were  filled  with  joy,  and  with  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

CHAPTER    XIV. 

Paul  and  Barnabas  are  persecuted. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  I-co'ni-u  m,  that  they  went  both  together 
into  the  synagogue  of  the  Jews,  and  so  spake,  that  a  great 
multitude  both  of  the  Jews  and  also  of  the  Greeks  believed. 

2  But  the  unbelieving  Jews  stirred  up  the  Gentiles,  and 
made  their  minds  evil  affected  against  the  brethren. 

3  Long  time  therefore  abode  they  speaking  boldly  in  the 
Lord,  "which  gave  testimony  unto  the  word  of  his  grace, 
and  granted  signs  and  wonders  to  be  done  by  their  hands. 

4  But  the  multitude  of  the  city  was  divided :  and  part  held 
with  the  Jews,  and  part  with  the  ''apostlesv 

5  And  when  there  was  an  assault  made  both  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  also  of  the  Jews  ith  their  rulers,  'to  use  them 
despitefully,  and  to  stone  them, 

6  They  were  ware  of  ii,  and  ''fled  unto  Lys'tra  and  Der'be, 
citiesof  Ly-ca-o'ni-a,and  unto  the  region  that  lieth  roundabout: 

7  And  there  they  preached  the  gospel. 

8  ^'AndtheresatacertainmanatLys'tra,impotentinhisfeet, 
being  a  cripple  from  his  mother's  womb,who  never  had  walked. 

9  The  same  heard  Paul  speak :  who  steadfastly  beholding 
him,  and  •'^perceiving  that  he  had  faith  to  be  healed, 

10  Said  with  a  1  id  voice,  "Stand  upright  on  thy  feet. 
And  he  leaped  and  walked. 

11  And  when  the  people  saw  what  Paul  had  done,  they 
lifted  up  their  voices,  saying  in  the  speech  of  Ly-ca-o'ni-a, 
The  *gods  are  come  down  to  us  in  the  likeness  of  men. 

12  And  they  called  Bar'na-bas,  Ju'pi-ter ;  and  Paul,  Mer- 
cu'ri-us,  because  he  was  the  chief  speaker. 

13  Then  the  priest  of  Ju'pi-ter,  which  was  before  their  city, 
brought  oxen  and  garlands  unto  the  gates,  'and  would  have 
done  sacrifice  with  the  people. 

14  Which  when  the  apostles,  Bar'na-bas  and  Paul,  heard 
of,  'they  rent  their  clothes,  and  ran  in  among  the  people, 
crying  out, 

15  And  saying,  Sirs,  'why  do  ye  these  things?  ™We  also 
are  men  of  like  passions  with  you,  and  preach  unto  you,  that 
ye  should  turn  from  "these  vanities  "unto  the  living  God, 
"which  made  heaven,  and  earth,  and  the  sea,  and  all  things 
that  are  therein  : 

16  'Who  in  times  past  suffered  all  nations  to  walk  in  their 
own  ways. 


Bar'na-bas:  who,  speaking  to  them,  urged  them  to 
continue  in  the  grace  of  God. 

44  And  the  next  sabbath  almost  the  whole  city  was 

45  gathered  together  to  hear  the  word  of  'God.  But 
when  the  Jews  saw  the  multitudes,  they  were  filled 
with   jealousy,   and  contradicted   the   things  which 

46  were  spoken  by  Paul,  and  ^blasphemed.  And  Paul 
and  Bar'na-bas  spake  out  boldly,  and  said,  It  was 
necessary  that  the  word  of  God  should  first  be 
spoken  to  you.  Seeing  ye  thrust  it  from  you,  and 
judge    yourselves   unworthy  of  eternal   life,  lo,  we 

47  turn  to  the  Gentiles.  For  so  hath  the  Lord  com- 
manded us,  saying, 

I  have  set  thee  for  a  light  of  the  Gentiles, 
That  thou  shouldest  be  for  salvation  unto  the  utter- 
most part  of  the  earth. 

48  And  as  the  Gentiles  heard  this,  they  were  glad,  and 
glorified  the  word  of  'God :  and  as  many  as  were 

49  ordained  to  eternal  life  believed.  And  the  word  of 
the   Lord   was   spread    abroad    throughout   all  the 

50  region.  But  the  Jews  urged  on  the  devout  women 
of  honourable  estate,  and  the  chief  men  of  the  city, 
and  stirred  up  a  persecution  against  Paul  and  BaP- 

51  na-bas,  and  cast  them  out  of  their  borders.  But  they 
shook  off  the  dust  of  their  feet  against  them,  and 

52  came  unto  I-co'ni-um.  And  the  disciples  were  filled 
with  joy  and  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

I  ^^  And  it  came  to  pass  in  I-co'ni-um,  that  they  entered 

together   into  the   synagogue  of  the   Jews,  and   so 
spake,  that  a  great  multitude   both  of  Jews  and  of 

2  Greeks  believed.  But  the  Jews  that  were  disobe- 
dient stirred  up  the  souls  of  the  Gentiles,  and  made 

3  them  evil  affected  against  the  brethren.  Long  time 
therefore  they  tarried  there,  speaking  boldly  in  the 
Lord,  which  bare  witness  unto  the  word  of  his  grace, 
granting  signs  and   wonders  to  be  done    by    their 

4 hands.  But  the  multitude  of  the  city  was  divided; 
and  part  held  with  the  Jews,  and  part  with  the  apos- 

5  ties.  And  when  there  was  made  an  onset  both  of 
the  Gentiles  and  of  the  Jews  with  their  rulers,  to 

6  entreat  them  shamefully,  and  to  stone  them,  they 
became  aware  of  it,  and  fled  unto  the  cities  of  Ly- 
ca-o'ni-a,  Lys'tra,  and  Der'be,  and  the  region  round 

7  about :  and  there  they  preached  the  gospel. 

8  And  at  Lys'tra  there  sat  a  certain  man,  impo- 
tent in  his  feet,  a  cripple  from  his  mother's  womb, 

9  who  never  had  walked.  The  same  heard  Paul 
speaking:  who,  fastening   his  eyes  upon    him,   and 

10  seeing  that  he  had  faith  to  be  'made  whole,  said 
with    a    loud    voice.   Stand    upright    on    thy    feet. 

II  And  he  leaped  up  and  walked.  And  when  the 
multitudes  saw  what  Paul  had  done,  they  lifted  up 
their  voice,  saying  in  the  speech  of  Ly-ca-o'ni-a,  The 
gods  are  come  down  to  us  in  the  likeness  of  men. 

12  And  they  called  Bar'ua-bas,*Ju'pi-ter;  and  Paul, 'Mer'- 

13cu-ry,  becau.se  he   was  the  chief  speaker.     And  the 

priest  of  ''Ju'pi-ter  whose  temple  was  before  the  city, 

brought    oxen    and    garlands    unto    the   gates,  and 

14  would  have  done  sacrifice  with  the  multitudes.  But 
when  the  apostles,  Bar'na-bas  and  Paul,  heard  of  it, 
they  rent  their  garments,  and  sprang  forth  among 

15  the  multitude,  crying  out  and  saying,  Sirs,  why  do 
ye  these  things?  We  also  are  men  of  like  ^passions 
with  you,  and  bring  you  good  tidings,  that  ye  should 
turn  from  these  vain  things  unto  the  living  God, 
who  made  th3  heaven  and  the  earth  and  the  sea,  and 

16 all  that  in  them  is:  who  in  the  generations  gone  by 
suffered  all  the  nations  to  walk  in  their  own  ways.

17  'Nevertheless  he  leift  not  himself  without  witness,  in 
that  he  did  good,  and  'gave  us  rain  irom  heaven,  and  fruit- 
ful seasons,  filling  our  hearts  with  food  and  gladness. 

18  And  with  these  saying  scarce  restrained  they  the  peo- 
ple, that  they  had  not  done  sacrifice  unto  them. 

19  ^'And  there  came  thither  certain  Jews  from  An'ti-och, 
and  I-co'ni-um,  who  persuaded  the  people,  "and,  having 
stoned  Paul,  drew  him  out  of  the  city,  supposing  he  had 
been  dead. 

20  Howbeit,  as  the  disciples  stood  round  about  him,  he 
rose  up,  and  came  into  the  city :  and  the  next  day  he  de- 
parted with  Bar'na-bas  to  Der'be. 

21  And  when  they  had  preached  the  gospel  to  that  city, 
'and  fhad  taught  many,  they  returned  again  to  Lys'tra,  and 
to  I-co'ni-uin,  and  An'ti-och, 

22  Confirming  the  souls  of  the  disciples,  and  "exhorting 
them  to  continue  in  the  faith,  and  that  'we  must  through 
much  tribulation  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

23  And  when  they  had  "ordained  them  elders  in  every 
church,  and  had  prayed  with  fasting,  they  commended  them 
to  the  Lord,  on  whom  they  believed. 

24  And  after  they  had  passed  throughout  Pi-sid'i-a,  they 
came  to  Pam-phyl'i-a. 

25  And  when  they  had  preached  the  word  in  Per'ga,  they 
went  down  into  At-ta'li-a: 

26  And  thence  sailed  to  An'ti-och,  ""from  whence  they  had 
been  'recommended  to  the  grace  of  God,  for  the  work  which 
they  fulfilled. 

27  And  when  they  were  come,  and  had  gathered  the 
cluirch  together,  ''they  rehearsed  all  that  God  had  done 
with  them,  and  how  he  had  'opened  the  door  of  faith  unto 
the  Gentiles. 

28  And  there  they  abode  long  time  with  the  disciples. 

CHAPTER    XV. 

Dissension  about  circumcision. 

AND  "certain  men  which  came  down  from  Ju-de'a  taught 
the  brethren,  and  said,  ^Except  ye  be  circumcised  "after 
the  manner  of  Mo'ses,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 

2  AVhen  therefore  Paul  and  Bar'na-bas  had  no  small  dis- 
sension and  disputation  with  them,  they  determined  that 
■•Paul  and  Bar'na-ba.s,  and  certain  other  of  them,  should  go 
up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the  apostles  and  elders  about  this 
question. 

3  And  'being  brought  on  their  way  by  the  church,  they 
passed  through  Phe-ni'ce  and  Sa-ma'ri-a,  -'^declaring  the  con- 
version of  the  Gentiles :  and  they  caused  great  joy  unto  all 
the  brethren. 

4  And  when  they  were  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  they  were  re- 
ceived of  the  church,  and  of  the  apostles  and  elders,  and 
"they  declared  all  things  that  God  had  done  with  them. 

5  But  there  ||  rose  up  certain  of  the  sect  of  the  Phar'i-sees, 
which  believed,  saying,  ''Tliat  it  was  needful  to  circumcise 
them,  and  to  command  them  to  keep  the  law  of  Mo'ses. 

6  ^And  the  apostles  and  elders  came  together  for  to  con- 
sider of  this  matter. 

7  And  when  there  had  been  much  disputing,  Pe'ter  rose 
up  and  said  unto  them,  'Men  and  brethren,  ye  know  how 
that  a  good  while  ago  God  made  choice  among  us,  that  the 
Gentiles  by  my  mouth  should  hear  the  word  of  the  gospel, 
and  believe. 

8  And  God,  *which  knoweth  the  hearts,  bare  them  witness, 
'giving  them  the  Holy  Ghost,  even  as  he  did  unto  us; 

9  ""And  put  no  difference  between  us  and  them,  "purifying 
their  hearts  by  faith. 

10  Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye  God,  "to  put  a  yoke  upon 
the  neck  of  the  disciples,  which  neither  our  fathers  nor  we 
were  able  to  bear? 

11  But  "we  believe  that  through  the  grace  of  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  we  shall  be  saved,  even  as  they. 


17  And  yet  he  left  not  himself  without  witness,  in  that 
he  did  good,  and  gave  you  from  heaven  rains  and 
fruitful  seasons,  filling  your  hearts  with  food  and 

18  gladness.  And  with  these  sayings  scarce  restrained 
they  the  multitudes  from  doing  sacrifice  unto  them. 

19  But  there  came  Jews  thither  from  An'ti-och  and 
I-co'ni-um :  and  having  persuaded  the  multitudes, they 
stoned  Paul,  and  dragged  him  out  of  the  city,  sup- 

20  posing  that  he  was  dead.  But  as  the  disciples  stood 
round  about  him,  he  rose  up,  and  entered  into  the 
city  :  and  on  the  morrow  he  went  forth  with  Bar'na- 

21  bas  to  Der'be.  And  when  they  had  preached  the 
gospel  to  that  city,  and  had  made  many  disciples, 
they  returned  to  Lys'tra,  and  to  I-co'ni-um,  anu  to 

22  An'ti-och,  confirming  the  souls  of  the  disciples,  ex- 
horting them  to  continue  in  the  faith,  and  that 
through  many  tribulations  we  must  enter  into  the 

23  kingdom  of  God.  And  when  they  had  appointed 
for  them  elders  in  every  church,  and  had  prayed 
with  fasting,  they  commended  them  to  the  Lord,  on 

24  whom  they  had  believed.     And  they  passed  through 

25  Pi-sid'i-a,  and  came  to  Pam-phyl'i-a.  And  when  they 
had  spoken  the  word  in  Per'ga,  they  went  down  to 

26  At-ta'li-a ;  and  thence  they  sailed  to  An'ti-och,  from 
whence   they  had   been  committed  to  the  grace  of 

27  God  for  the  work  which  they  had  fulfilled.  And 
when  they  Avere  come,  and  had  gathered  the  church 
together,  they  rehearsed  all  things  that  God  had 
done   with    them,  and   how    that  he  had  opened  a 

28  door  of  faith  unto  the  Gentiles.  And  they  tarried 
no  little  time  with  the  disciples. 

i-0  And  certain  men  came  down  from  Ju-dse'a  and 
taught  the  brethren,  saying,  Except  ye  be  circum- 
cised after  the  custom  of  Mo'ses,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 

2  And  when  Paul  and  Bar'na-bas  had  no  small  dissen- 
sion and  questioning  with  them,  the  brethren  ap- 
pointed that  Paul  and  Bar'na-bas,  and  certain  other 
of  them,  should  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  unto  the  apostles 

Sand  elders  about  this  question.  They  therefore, 
being  brought  on  their  way  by  the  church,  passed 
through  both  Phoe-ni'ci-a  and  Sa-ma'ri-a,  declaring  the 
conversion  of  the   Gentiles :  and  they  caused  great 

4joy  unto  all  the  brethren.  And  when  they  were 
come  to  Je-ru'i3a-lem,  they  were  received  of  the  church 
and  the  apc-tles  and  the  elders,  and  they  rehearsed 

5  all  things  thai  God  had  done  with  them.  But  there 
rose  up  certain  of  the  sect  of  the  Phar'i-sees  who  be- 
lieved, saying.  It  is  needful  to  circumcise  them,  and 
to  charge  them  to  keep  the  law  of  Mo'ses. 

6  And  the  apostles   and    the  elders  were  gathered 

7  together  to  consider  of  this  matter.  And  when  there 
had  been  much  questioning,  Pe'ter  rose  up,  and  said 
unto  them, 

Brethren,  ye  know  how  that  'a  good  while  ago 
God  made  choice  among  you,  that  by  my  mouth 
the  Gentiles  should  hear  the  word  of  the  gospel,  and 

8  believe.  And  God,  which  knoweth  the  heart,  bare 
them  witness,  giving  them  the  Holy  Ghost,  even  as 

9 he  did  unto  us;  and  he  made  no  distinction  between 
10 us  and  them,  cleansing  their  hearts  by  faith.     Now 

therefore  why  tempt  ye  God,  that  ye  should  put  a 

yoke  upon  the  neck  of  the  disciples,  which  neither 
11  our  fathers  nor  we  were  able  to  bear?    But  we  believe 

that  we  shall  be  saved  through  the  grace  of  the  Lord 

Jesus,  in  like  manner  as  they.

12  •([Then  all  the  multitude  kept  silence,  and  gave  audience 
to  Bar'na-bas  and  Paul,  deciaring  what  miracles  and  wonders 
God  had  'wrought  among  the  Gentiles  by  them. 

13  ^And  after  they  had  held  their  peace,  'James  answered, 
saying,  Men  and  brethren,  hearken  unto  mo. 

14  'Si'me-on  hath  declared  how  God  at  the  first  did  visit 
the  Gentiles,  to  take  out  of  them  a  people  for  his  name. 

15  And  to  this  agree  the  words  ofthe  prophets;  as  it  is  written, 

16  'After  this  I  will  return,  and  will  build  again  the  taber- 
nacle of  Da'vid,  which  is  fallen  down ;  and  I  will  build  again 
the  ruins  thereof,  and  I  will  set  it  up : 

17  That  the  residue  of  men  might  seek  after  the  Lord,  and 
all  the  Gentile.s,  upon  whom  my  name  is  called,  saith  the 
Lord,  who  doeth  all  these  things. 

18  Known  unto  God  are  all  his  works  from  the  beginning 
of  the  world. 

19  Wherefore  "my  sentence  i.s,  that  we  trouble  not  them, 
which  from  among  the  Gentiles  ''are  turned  to  God: 

20  But  that  we  write  unto  them,  that  they  abstain  "from 
pollutions  of  idols,  and  'frora  foruication,  and  from  things 
strangled,  "and/ro»i  blood. 

21  For  Mo',ses  of  old  time  hath  in  every  city  them  that 
preach  him,  'being  read  in  the  synagogues  every  sabbath 
day. 

22  Then  pleased  it  the  apostles  and  elders,  with  the  whole 
church,  to  send  cho.sen  men  of  their  own  company  to  An'- 
ti-och,  with  Paul  and  Bar'na-bas;  namely,  Ju'das  surnamed 
"^Bar'sa-bas,  and  Si'las,  chief  men  among  the  brethren: 

2.3  And  they  wrote  letters  by  them  after  this  manner;  The 
apostles  and  elders  and  brethren  send  greeting  unto  the 
brethren  which  are  ofthe  Gentiles  in  An'ti-och,  andSyr'i-a, 
and  Ci-li'ci-a : 

24  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard,  that  ''certain  which  weat 
out  from  us  have  troubled  you  with  word.s,  subverting  your 
souls,  saying,  Ye  must  be  circumcised,  and  keep  the  law;  to 
wliom  we  gave  no  such  commandment: 

25  It  seemed  good  unto  us,  being  assembled  with  one  ac- 
cord, to  send  chosen  men  unto  you  with  our  beloved  Bar'- 
na-bas and  Paul, 

26  'Men  that  have  hazarded  their  lives  for  the  name  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

27  "We  have  sent  therefore  Ju'das  and  Si'las,  who  shall  also 
tell  you  tlie  same  things  by  fmouth. 

28  For  it  seemed  good  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  us,  to 
lay  upon  you  no  greater  burden  than  these  necessary  things ; 

29  ■'That  ye  abstain  from  meats  offered  to  idols,  and  "from 
blood,  and  from  things  .strangled,  and  from  fornication  :  from 
which  if  ye  keep  yourselves,  ye  shall  do  well.  Fare  ye  well. 

30  So  when  they  were  dismi.ssed,  they  came  to  An'ti-och : 
and  when  they  had  gathered  the  multitude  together,  they 
delivered  the  epistle: 

31  Which  when  they  had  read,  they  rejoiced  for  the  ||  con- 
solation. 

32  And  Ju'dasand  Si'las,  beingprophets  also  themselves, 'ex- 
horted the  brethren  with  many  words,  and  confirmed  them. 

33  And  after  they  had  tarried  there  a  space,  they  were  let 
'go  in  peace  from  the  brethren  unto  the  apostles. 

34  Notwithstanding  it  plea.sed  Si'las  to  abide  there  still. 

35  *Paulalsoand  Bar'na-bas  continued  inAn'ti-oeli, teaching 
and  preaching  the  word  ofthe  Lord,  witli  many  others  also. 

36  TIAnd  some  days  after,  Paul  said  unto  Bar'na-bas,  Let 
us  go  again  and  visit  our  brethren  'in  every  city  where  we 
have  preaciied  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  see  how  they  do. 

37  And  Bar'na-bas  determined  to  take  with  them  "John, 
whose  surname  was  Mark. 

38  But  Paul  thought  not  good  to  take  him  with  them, 
"wlio  departed  from  them  from  Paiu-phyl'i-a,  and  went  not 
with  them  to  the  work. 

39  And  the  contention  was  so  sharp  between  them,  that 


12  And  all  the  multitude  kept  silence  j  and  they 
hearkened  unto  Bar'na-bas  and  Paul  rehearsing  what 
signs  and  wonders    God    had   wrought   among    the 

13  Gentiles  by  them.  And  after  they  had  held  their 
peace,  James  answered,  saying, 

14  Brethren,  hearken  unto  me:  Sym'e-on  hath  re 
hearsed  how  first  God  did  visit  the  Gentiles,  to  take 

15  out  of  them  a  people  for  his  name.  And  to  this 
agree  the  words  of  the  prophets ;  as  it  is  written, 

16  After  these  things  I  will  return. 
And  I  will  build  again  the  tabernacle  of  Da'vid, 

which  is  fallen ; 
And  I  will  build  again  the  ruins  thereof, 
And  I  will  set  it  up : 

17  That  the  residue  of  men  may  seek  after  the  Lord, 
And  all  the  Gentiles,  upon  whom  my  name  is  called, 

18  Saith  the  Lord,  'who  maketh  these  things  known 

from  the  beginning  of  the  world. 

19  Wherefore  my  judgement  is,  that  we  trouble  not  them 
20 which  from  among  the  Gentiles  turn   to   God;  but 

that  we  Vrite  unto  them,  that  they  abstain  from  the 
pollutions  of  idols,  and  from  fornication,  and  from 

21  what  is  strangled,  and  from  blood.  For  Mo'ses  from 
generations  of  old  hath  in  every  city  them  that  preach 
him,  being  read  in  the  synagogues  every  sabbath. 

22  Then  it  seemed  good  to  the  apostles  and  the 
elders,  with  the  whole  church,  to  choose  men  out 
of.  their  company,  and  send  them  to  An'ti-och  with 
Paul  and  Bar'na-bas;  name/i/,  Ju'das  called  Bar-sab'bas, 

23  and  Si'las,"  chief  men  among  the  brethren:  and  they 
wrote  thus  by  them,    The    apostles    and    the    elder 
brethren  unto  the  brethren  which  are  of  the  Gen 
tiles  in  An'ti-och  and  Syr'i-a  and  Ci-li'ci-a,  greeting 

24  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard  that  certain  ''which 
went  out  from  us  have  troubled  you  with  words, 
subverting  your  souls;  to  whom  we  gave   no  com- 

25maudment;  it  seemed  good  unto  us,  having  come 
to  one  accord,  to  choose  out  men   and    send    them 

26  unto  you  with  our  beloved  Bar'na-bas  and  Paul,  men 
that  have  hazarded  their  lives  for  the   name  of  our 

27  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  We  have  sent  therefore  Ju'das 
and  Si'las,  who  themselves  also   shall  tell  you  the 

28  same  things  by  word  of  mouth.  For  it  seemed 
good  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  us,  to  lay  upon 
you  no  greater  burden  than  these  necessary  things ; 

29  that  ye  abstain  from  things  sacrificed  to  idols,  and 
from  blood,  and  from  things  strangled,  and  from 
fornication ;  from  which  if  ye  keep  yourselves,  it 
shall  be  well  with  you.     Fare  ye  well. 

30  So  they,  when  they  were  disniis.sed,  came  down 
to  An'ti-och;  and  having  gathered  the  multitude  to- 

31  gether,  they  delivered  the  epistle.     And  when  they 

32  had  read  it,  they  rejoiced  for  the  'consolation.  And 
Ju'das  and  Si'las,  being  themselves  also  prophets, 
'^exhorted  the  brethren  with  many  words,  and  con- 

33  firmed  them.  And  after  they  had  spent  .some  time 
there,  they  were  dismi.ssed  in  peace  from  the  brethren 

35  unto  those  that  had  sent  them  forth".  But  Paul  and 
Bar'na-bas  tarried  in  An'ti-och,teachingand  preaching 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  with  many  others  also. 

36  And  after  .some  days  Paul  said  unto  Bar'na- 
bas,  Let  us  return  now  and  visit  the  brethren  in 
every    city    wherein    we    proclaimed   the    word   of 

37  the  Lord,  and  see  how  they  fare.  And  Bar'na-bas 
was    minded    to   take    with   them  John    also,    who 

38  was  called  !Mark.  But  Paul  thought  not  good 
to  take  with  tiiem  liim  who  withdrew  from  them 
from  Pam-phyl'i-a,  and  went  not  with  them  to  the 

39  work.     And  there  arose  a  sharp  contention,  so  that

40  A nd  Paul  chose  Si'las  and  departed,  "being  recommended 
by  the  brethren  unto  the  grace  of  God. 

41  And  he  went  through  Syr'i-a  and  Ci-li'ci-a,  ''confirming 
the  churches. 

CHAPTER    XVI. 

Paul  circumciseth  Timothy. 

rpHEN  came  he  to  "Der'be  and  Lys'tra:  and,  behold,  a 
A  certain  disciple  was  there,  ''named  Ti-mo'the-us,  "the  son 
of  a  certain  woman  which  was  a  Jew'ess,  and  believed ;  but 
his  father  was  a  Greek : 

2  Which  ''was  well  reported  of  by  the  brethren  that  were 
at  Lys'tra  and  I-co'ni-um. 

3  Him  would  Paul  have  to  go  forth  with  him ;  and  'took 
and  circumcised  him,  because  of  the  Jews  which  were  in 
those  quarters:  for  they  knew  all  that  his  father  was  a 
Greek. 

4  And  as  they  went  through  the  cities,  they  delivered 
them  the  decrees  for  to  keep,  -'^that  were  ordained  of  the 
apostles  and  elders  which  were  at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  And  "so  were  the  churches  established  in  the  faith,  and 
increased  in  number  daily. 

6  Now  when  they  had  gone  throughout  Phryg'i-a,  and  the 
region  of  Ga-la'ti-a,  and  were  forbidden  of  the  Holy  Ghost 
to  preach  the  word  in  A'si-a, 

7  After  they  were  come  to  Mys'i-a,  they  assayed  to  go  into 
Bi-thyn'i-a  :  but  the  Spirit  suffered  them  not. 

8  And  they  passing  by  Mys'i-a  ''came  down  to  Tro'as. 

9  And  a  vision  appeared  to  Paul  in  the  night ;  There 
stood  a 'man  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  and  prayed  him,  saying.  Come 
over  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  and  help  us. 

10  And  after  he  had. seen  the  vision,  immediately  we  en- 
deavoured to  go  *into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  assuredly  gathering  that 
the  Lord  had  called  us  for  to  preach  the  gospel  unto  them. 

11  Therefore  loosing  from  Tro'as,  we  came  with  a  straight 
course  to  Sam-o-thra'ci-a,  and  the  next  day  to  Ne-ap'o-lis ; 

12  And  from  thence  to  'Phi-lip'pi,  which  is  ||the  chief  city 
of  that  part  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  and  a  colony :  and  we  were  in 
that  city  abiding  certain  days. 

13  And  on  the  fsabbath  we  went  out  of  the  city  by  a 
river  side,  where  prayer  was  wont  to  be  made ;  and  we  sat 
down,  and  spake  unto  the  women  which  resorted  thither. 

14  And  a  certain  woman  named  Lyd'i-a,  a  seller  of  purple, 
of  the  city  of  Thy-a-ti'ra,  which  worshipped  God,  heard  ms; 
whose  "heart  the  Lord  opened,  that  she  attended  unto  the 
things  which  were  spoken  of  Paul. 

15  And  when  she  was  baptized,  and  her  household,  she  be- 
sought us,  saying,  If  ye  have  judged  me  to  be  faithful  to  the 
Lord,  come  into  my  house,  and  abide  there.  And  "she 
constrained  us. 

16  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we  went  to  prayer,  a  certain 
damsel  "possessed  with  a  spirit  ||  of  divination  met  us,  which 
brought  her  ma.sters  ''much  gain  by  soothsaying: 

17  The  same  followed  Paul  and  us,  and  cried,  saying. 
These  men  are  the  servants  of  the  mo.st  high  God,  which 
shew  unto  us  the  way  of  .salvation. 

18  And  this  did  she  many  days.  Bat  Paul,  "being  grieved, 
turned  and  said  to  the  spirit,  I  command  tiiee  in  the  name 
of  Jesus  Christ  to  come  out  of  her.  'And  he  came  out  the 
same  hour. 

19  ^[And  'when  her  masters  saw  that  the  hope  of  their 
gains  was  gone,  'they  caught  Paul  and  Si'las,  and  "drew 
them  into  the  ||  marketplace  unto  the  rulers, 

20  And  brought  them  to  the  magi.strates,  saying.  These 
men,  being  Jews,  ""do  exceedingly  trouble  our  city, 

21  And  teach  customs,  wiiich  are  not  lawful  for  us  to  re- 
ceive, neither  to  ob.serve,  being  Ro'mans. 

22  And  the  multitude  rose  up  together  against  them;  and 


they  parted  asunder  one  from  the  other,  and  Bar'na- 
bas  took  Mark  with  him,  and  sailed  away  unto  Cy'- 

40  prus ;  but  Paul  chose  Si'las,  and  went  forth,  being 
commended   by   the    brethren    to  the  grace  of  the 

41  Lord.  And  he  went  through  Syr'i-a  and  Ci-li'ci-a, 
confirming  the  churches. 

4-0  And  he  oame  also  to  Der'be  and  to  Lys'tra:  and 
behold,  a  certain  disciple  was  there,  named  Tim'o-thy, 
the  son  of  a  Jew'ess  which  believed ;  but  his  father 
2  was  a  Greek.  The  same  was  well  reported  of  by  the 
3 brethren thatwereatLys'traandLco'ni-um.  Himwould 
Paul  have  to  go  forth  with  him ;  and  he  took  and  cir- 
cumcised him  because  of  the  Jews  that  were  in  those 
parts :  for  they  all  knew  that  his  father  was  a  Greek. 

4  And  as  they  went  on  their  way  through  the  cities, 
they  delivered  them  the  decrees  for  to  keep,  which 
had  been  ordained  of  the  apostles  and   elders  that 

5  were  at  Je-ru'sa-lem.  So  the  churches  were  strength- 
ened in  the  faith,  and  increased  in  number  daily. 

6  And  they  went  through  the  region  of  Phryg'i-a  and 
Ga-la'ti-a,  having  been  forbidden  of  the  Holy  Ghost 

7  to  speak  the  word  in  A'si-a ;  and  when  they  were  come 
over  against  Mys'i-a,  they  assayed  to  go  into  Bi-thyn'i-a; 

Sand  the  Spirit  of  Jesus  suffered  them  not;  and  pass- 

9  ing  by  Mys'i-a,  they  came  down  to  Tro'as.     And  a 

vision  appeared  to  Paul  in  the  night;  There  was  a 

man  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a  standing,  beseechinghim, and  say- 

10  ing.  Come  over  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  and  help  us.  And 
when  he  had  seen  the  vision,  straightway  we  sought 
to  go  forth  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  concluding  that  God 
had  called  us  for  to  preach  the  gospel  unto  them. 

11  Setting  sail  therefore  from'  Tro'as,  Ave  made  a 
straight  course  to  Sam-o-thra'ce,  and  the  day  follow- 

12  ing  to  Ne-ap'o-lis;  and  from  thence  to  Phi-lip'pi, which 
is  a  city  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  the  first  of  the  district,  a 
Ro'man  colony :  and  we  were   in  this  city  tarrying 

13  certain  days.  And  on  the  sabbath  day  we  went 
forth  without  the  gate  by  a  river  side,  where  we 
supposed  there  was  a  place  of  prayer;  and  we  sat 
down  and  spake  unto  the   women  which  were  come 

14  together.  And  a  certain  woman  named  Lyd'i-a,  a 
seller  of  purple,  of  the  city  of  Thy-a-ti'ra,  one  that 
worshipped  God,  heard  us:  whose  heart  the  Lord 
opened,  to  give   heed    unto   the  things  which  were 

15  spoken  by  Paul.  And  when  she  was  baptized,  and 
her  household,  she  besought  us,  saying.  If  ye  have 
judged  me  to  be  faithful  to  the  Lord,  come  into  my 
house,  and  abide  there.     And  she  constrained  us. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we  were  going  to  the 
place  of  prayer,  that  a  certain  maid  having  'a  spirit 
of  divination   met   us,  which   brought   her  masters 

17  much  gain  by  soothsaying.  The  same  following 
after  Paul  and  us  cried  out,  saying.  These  men  are 
^servants   of  the  Most  High    God,  which   proclaim 

18  unto  you  'the  way  of  salvation.  And  this  she  did 
for  many  days.  But  Paul,  being  sore  troubled, 
turned  and  said  to  the  spirit,  I  charge  thee  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  Chri.st  to  come  out  of  her.  And  it 
came  out  that  very  hour. 

19  But  when  her  masters  saw  that  the  hope  of  their 
gain  was  *gone,  they  laid  hold  on  Paul  and  Si'las, 
and    dragged    them    into    the    marketplace    before 

20  the  rulers,  and  when  they  had  brought  them  un- 
to  the   "magistrates,  they    said.    These    men,  being 

21  Jews,  do  exceedingly  trouble  our  city,  and  set 
forth  customs  whiclv  it   is  not  lawful  for  us  to  re- 

22ceive,  or  to  observe,  being  Ro'mans.  And  the 
multitude    rose    up    together    against    them :    and

the  magistrates  rent  o£F  their  clothes,  "and  commanded  to 
beat  them. 

23  And  when  they  had  laid  many  stripes  upon  them,  they 
cast  them  into  prison,  charging  the  jailer  to  keep  them  safely: 

24  Who,  having  received  such  a  charge,  thrust  them  into 
the  inner  prison,  and  made  their  feet  fast  in  the  stocks. 

25  ^And  at  midnight  Paul  and  Si'las  prayed,  and  sang 
praises  unto  God :  and  the  prisoners  heard  them. 

26  'And  suddenly  there  was  a  great  earthquake,  so  that 
the  foundations  of  the  prison  were  shaken  :  and  immediately 
"all  the  doors  were  opened,  and  every  one's  bands  were 
loosed. 

27  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  awaking  out  of  his  sleep, 
and  seeing  the  prison  doors  open,  he  drew  out  his  sword, 
and  would  have  killed  himself,  supposing  that  the  prisoners 
had  been  fled. 

28  But  Paul  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying.  Do  thyself  no 
harm :  for  we  are  all  here. 

29  Then  he  called  for  a  light,  and  sprang  in,  and  came 
trembling,  and  fell  down  before  Paul  and  Si  las, 

30  And  brought  them  out,  and  said,  ''Sirs,  what  must  I  do 
to  be  saved? 

31  And  they  said,  "Believe  on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and 
thou  shalt  be  saved,  and  thy  house. 

32  And  they  spake  unto  him  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and 
to  all  that  were  in  his  house. 

33  And  he  took  them  the  same  hour  of  the  night,  and  washed 
their  stripes ;  and  was  baptized,  he  and  all  his,  straightway. 

34  And  when  he  had  brought  them  into  his  house,  ''he 
set  meat  before  them,  and  rejoiced,  believing  in  God  with 
all  his  house. 

35  And  when  it  was  day,  the  magistrates  sent  the  serjeant.s, 
saying,  Let  those  men  go. 

36  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  told  this  saying  to  Paul, 
The  magistrates  have  sent  to  let  you  go :  now  therefore 
depart,  and  go  in  peace. 

37  But  Paul  said  unto  them.  They  have  beaten  us  openly 
uncondemned,  'being  Ro'mans,  and  have  cast  us  into  prison  ; 
and  now  do  they  thrust  us  out  privily?  nay  verily;  but  let 
them  come  themselves  and  fetch  us  out. 

38  And  the  Serjeants  told  these  words  unto  the  magistrates  : 
and  they  feared,  when  they  heard  that  they  were  Ro'mans. 

39  And  they  came  and  besought  them,  and  brought  them 
out,  and  -^desired  them  to  depart  out  of  the  city. 

40  And  they  went  out  of  the  prison,  "and  entered  into 
the  house  of  Lyd'i-a :  and  when  they  had  seen  the  brethren, 
they  comforted  them,  and  departed. 

CHAF-TER  XVII. 

Paul preacheth  at  Thessalonica. 

1\T0W  when  they  had  passed  through  Am-phip'o-lis  and 
1-1  Ap-ol-lo'ni-a,  they  came  to  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca,  where  was 
a  synagogue  of  the  Jews: 

2  And  Paul,  as  his  manner  was,  "went  in  unto  them,  and 
three  sabbath  days  reasoned  with  them  out  of  the  Scriptures, 

3  Opening  and  alleging,  ''that  Christ  must  needs  have  suf- 
fered, and  risen  again  from  the  dead ;  and  that  this  Jesus, 
II  whom  I  preach  unto  you,  is  Christ. 

4  "And  some  of  them  believed,  and  consorted  with  Paul 
and  ''Si'las;  and  of  the  devout  Greeks  a  great  multitude,  and 
of  the  chief  women  not  a  few. 

5  ^But  the  Jews  which  believed  not,  moved  with  envy,  took 
unto  them  certain  lewd  fellows  of  the  baser  sort,  and  gathered 
a  company,  and  set  all  the  city  on  an  uproar,  and  as.'saulted  the 
house  of  "Ja'son,  and  sought  to  bring  them  out  to  the  people. 

6  And  when  they  found  them  not,  they  drew  Ja'son  and  cer- 
tain brethren  unto  the  rulers  of  the  city,  crying, -^These  that 
have  turned  the  world  upside  down  are  come  hither  also ; 

7  WhomJa'son  hath  received:  and.theseall  do  contrary  to  the 
decrees  of  Ce'sar,  "saying  that  there  is  another  king,  one  Jesus. 


the  'magistrates  rent  their  garments  off  them,  and 

23  commanded  to  beat  them  with  rods.  And  when  they 
had  laid  many  stripes  upon  them,  they  cast  them 
into  prison,  charging  the  jailor  to  keep  them  safely : 

24  who,  having  received  such  a  charge,  cast  them  into 
the  inner  prison,  and   made  their  feet  fast  in   the 

25  stocks.  But  about  midnight  Paul  and  Si'las  were 
praying  and  singing  hymns  unto  God,  and  the  pris- 

26  oners  were  listening  to  them ;  and  suddenly  there 
was  a  great  earthquake,  so  that  the  foundations  of 
the  prison-house  were  shaken :  and  immediately  all 
the    doors    were    opened;    and   every    one's    bands 

27  were  loosed.  And  the  jailor  being  roused  out  of 
sleep,  and  seeing  the  prison  doors  open,  drew  his 
sword,  and  was   about   to    kill   himself,  supposing 

28  that  the  prisoners  had  escaped.  But  Paul  cried 
with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  Do  thyself  no  harm:  for 

29  we  are  all  here.  And  he  called  for  lights,  and 
sprang  in,  and  trembling  for  fear,  fell  down  before 

30  Paul  and   Si'las,  and    brought   them   out,  and   said, 

31  Sirs,  what  must  I  do  to  be  saved?  And  they  said. 
Believe  on  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  thou  shalt  be  saved, 

32  thou  and  thy  house.  And  they  spake  the  word  of 
^the  Lord  unto  him,  with  all  that  were  in  his  house. 

33  And  he  took  them  the  same  hour  of  the  night,  and 
washed  their  stripes;  and  %vas  baptized,  he  and  all 

34  his,  immediately.  And  he  brought  them  up  into 
his  house,  and  set  'meat  before  them,  and  rejoiced 
greatly,  with  all  his  house,  'having  believed  in  God. 

35  But   when  it  was  day,  the  'magistrates  sent  the 

36  "Serjeants,  saying.  Let  those  men  go.  And  the 
jailor  reported  the  words  to  Paul,  saying,  The 
'magistrates  have  sent  to    let  you   go :    now  there- 

37  fore  come  forth,  and  go  in  peace.  But  Paul  said 
unto  them.  They  have  beaten  us  publicly,  uncon- 
demned, men  that  are  Ro'mans,  and  have  cast  us 
into  prison;  and  do  they  now  cast  us  out  privily? 
nay  verily ;  but  let  them  come  themselves  and  bring 

38  us  out.  And  the  "serjeants  reported  these  words 
unto  the  'magistrates :    and  they  feared,  when  they 

39  heard  that  they  were  Ro'mans ;  and  they  came  and 
besought  them ;  and  when  they  had  brought  them 
out,  they  asked   them  to  go  away   from   the   city. 

40  And  they  went  out  of  the  prison,  and  entered  into 
the  house  of  Lyd'i-a:  and  when  they  had  seen  the 
brethren,  they  ^comforted  them,  and  departed. 

1  /  Now  when  they  had  passed  through  Am-phip'o-lis 
andAp-ol-lo'ni-a,they  came  toThes-sa-lo-ni'ca,  where  was 

2  a  synagogue  of  the  Jews :  and  Paul,  as  his  custom 
was,  went  in  unto  them,  and  for  three  'sabbath  days 

3  reasoned  with  them  from  the  scriptures,  opening  and 
alleging,  that  it  behoved  the  Christ  to  suffer,  and  to 
rise  again  from  the  dead ;  and  that  this  Jesus,  whom, 

4  said  he,  I  proclaim  unto  you,  is  the  Christ.  And 
some  of  them  were  persuaded,  and  consorted  with 
Paul  and  Si'las ;  and  of  the  devout  Greeks  a  great 

5  multitude,  and  of  the  chief  women  not  a  few.  But 
the  Jews,  being  moved  with  jealousy,  took  unto  them 
certain  vile  fellows  of  the  rabble,  and  gathering  a 
crowd,  set  the  city  on  an  uproar;  and  assaulting  the 
house  of  Ja'son,  they  sought  to  bring  them  forth  to 

6  the  people.  And  when  they  found  them  not,  they 
dragged  Ja'son  and  certain  brethren  before  the  rulers 
of  the  city,  crying,  These  that  have  turned  'the  world 

7  upside  down  are  come  hitner  also ;  whom  Ja'son  hath 
received :  and  these  all  act  contrary  to  the  decrees  of 
Cse'sar,  saying  that  there  is  another  king,  one  Jesus.

8  And  they  troubled  the  people  and  the  rulers  of  the  city, 
when  they  heard  these  things. 

9  And  when  they  had  taken  security  of  Ja'son,  and  of  the 
others,  they  let  them  go. 

10  "[[And  *the  brethren  immediately  sent  away  Paul  and 
Si'las  by  night  unto  Be-re'a :  who  coming  thither  went  into 
the  synagogue  of  the  Jews. 

11  These  were  more  noble  than  those  in  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca,  in 
that  they  received  the  word  with  all  readiness  of  mind,  and 
'searched  the  Scriptures  daily,  whether  those  things  were  so. 

12  Therefore  many  of  them  believed;  also  of  honourable 
women  which  were  Greeks,  and  of  men,  not  a  few. 

13  But  when  the  Jews  of  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca  had  knowledge 
that  the  word  of  God  was  preached  of  Paul  at  Be-re'a,  they 
came  thither  also,  and  stirred  up  the  people. 

14  *And  then  immediately  the  brethren  sent  away  Paul  to  go 
as  it  were  to  the  sea:  but  Si'lasandTi-mo'tbe-usabode  there  still. 

15  And  they  that  conducted  Paul  brought  him  unto  Ath'ens: 
and  'receiving  a  commandment  unto  Si'las  and  Ti-mo'the-us 
for  to  come  to  him  with  all  speed,  they  departed, 

16  ^Now  while  Paul  waited  for  them  at  Ath'ens,  "his 
spirit  was  stirred  in  him,  when  he  saw  the  city  ||  wholly 
given  to  idolatry. 

17  Therefore  disputed  he  in  the  synagogue  with  the  Jews, 
and  with  the  devout  persons,  and  in  the  market  daily  with 
them  that  met  with  him. 

18  Then  certain  philosophers  of  the  Ep- i-cu-re'ans,  and  of 
the  Sto'ics,  encountered  him.  And  some  said,  What  will 
this  babbler  say?  other  some.  He  seemeth  to  be  a  setter 
forth  of  strange  gods  r  because  he  preached  unto  them  Jesus, 
and  the  resurrection. 

19  And  they  took  him,  and  brought  him  unto  ||A-re-op'- 
a-gus,  saying.  May  we  know  what  this  new  doctrine, 
whereof  thou  speakest,  isf 

20  For  thou  bringest  certain  strange  things  to  our  ears ; 
we  would  know  therefore  what  these  things  mean. 

21  (For  all  the  A-the'ni-ans,  and  strangers  which  were 
there,  spent  their  time  in  nothing  else,  but  either  to  tell  or 
to  hear  some  new  thing.) 

22  ^Then  Paul  stood  in  the  midst  of  ||  Mars'  hill,  and 
said,  Ye  men  of  Ath'ens,  I  perceive  that  in  all  things  ye 
are  too  superstitious. 

23  For  as  I  passed  by,  and  beheld  your  ||devotions,  I  found 
an  altar  with  this  in.scription,  TO  THE  UNKNOWN  GOD. 
Whomthereforeyeignorantlyworship,him  declare  I  unto  you. 

24  "God  that  made  the  world  and  all  things  therein,  see- 
ing that  he  is  "Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  Pdwelleth  not  in 
temples  made  with  hands; 

25  Neither  is  worshipped  with  men's  hands,  'as  though 
he  needed  any  thing,  seeing  'he  giveth  to  all  life,  and 
breath,  and  all  things ; 

26  And  hath  made  of  one  blood  all  nations  of  men  for  to 
dwell  on  all  the  face  of  the  earth,  and  hath  determined  the 
times  before  appointed,  and  'the  bounds  of  their  habitation ; 

27  'That  they  should  seek  the  Lord,  if  haply  they  might 
feel  after  him,  and  find  him,  "though  he  be  not  far  from 
every  one  of  us : 

28  For  'in  him  we  live,  and  move,  and  have  our  being; 
"as  certain  also  of  your  own  poets  have  said.  For  we  are  also 
his  offspring. 

29  Forasmuch  then  as  we  are  the  offspring  of  God,  'we 
ought  not  to  think  that  the  Godhead  is  like  unto  gold,  or 
silver,  or  stone,  graven  by  art  and  man's  device. 

30  And  "the  times  of  this  ignorance  God  winked  at;  but 
'now  commandeth  all  men  every  where  to  repent : 

31  Becau.se  he  hath  appointed  a  day,  in  the  which  "he  will 
judge  the  world  in  righteousness  by  that  man  whom  he  hath 
ordained;  whereof  he  hath  ||  given  assurance  unto  all  men, 
in  that  ''he  hath  raised  him  from  the  dead. 


8  And  they  troubled  the  multitude  and  the  rulers  of 

9  the  city,  when  they  heard  these  things.  And  when 
they  had  taken  security  from  Ja'son  and  the  rest, 
they  let  them  go. 

10  And  the  brethren  immediately  sent  away  Paul 
and  Si'las  by  night  unto  Be-rce'a :  who  when  they 
were  come  thither  went  into   the  synagogue  of  the 

11  Jews.  Now  these  were  more  noble  than  those  in 
Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca,  in  that  they  received  the  word  with 
all  readiness  of  mind,  examining  the  scriptures  daily, 

12  whether  these  things  were  so.  Many  of  them  there- 
fore believed ;  also  of  the  Greek  women  of  bono ur- 

13  able  estate,  and  of  men,  not  a  few.  But  when  the 
Jews  of  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca  had  knowledge  that  the  word 
of  God  was  proclaimed  of  Paul  at  Be-roe'a  also,  they 
came  thither  likewise,  stirring  up  and  troubling  the 

14  multitudes.  And  then  immediately  the  brethren  sent 
forth  Paul  to  go  as  far  as  to  the  sea:  and  Si'las  and 

15  Tim'o-thy  abode  there  still.  But  they  that  conducted 
Paul  brought  him  as  far  as  Ath'ens :  and  receiving  a 
commandment  unto  Si'las  and  Tim'o-thy  that  they 
should  come  to  him  with  all  speed,  they  departed. 

16  Now  while  Paul  waited  for  them  at  Ath'ens,  his 
spirit  was  provoked  within  him,  as  he  beheld  the 

17  city  full  of  idols.  So  he  reasoned  in  the  synagogue 
with  the  Jews  and  the  devout  persons,  and  in  the 
marketplace  every  day  with  them  that  met  with  him. 

18  And  certain  also  of  the  Ep-i-cu-re'an  and  Sto'ic  philoso 
phers  encountered  him.    And  some  said.  What  would 
this  babbler  say  ?  other  some,  He  seemeth  to  be  a  set 
ter  forth  of  strange  'gods  :  because  he  preached  Jesus 

19  and  the  resurrection.  And  they  took  hold  of  him, 
and  brought  him  ^unto'the  A-re-op'a-gus,saying,May 
we  know  what  this  new  teaching  is,  which  is  spoken 

20  by  thee?  For  thou  bringest  certain  strange  things  to 
our  ears:  we  would  know  therefore  what  these  things 

21  mean.  (Now  all  the  A-the'ni-ans  and  the  strangers 
sojourning  there  *spent  their  time  in  nothing  else, 

22  but  either  to  tell  or  to  hear  some  new  thing.)  And 
Paul  stood  in  the  midst  of  the  A-re-op'a-gus,  and  said, 

Ye  men  of  Ath'ens,  in  all  things  I  perceive  that  ye 

23  are  somewhat  'superstitious.  For  as  I  passed  along, 
and  observed  the  objects  of  your  worship,  I  found 
also  an  altar  with  this  inscription,  "to  an  unknown 
GOD.     What  therefore  ye  worship  in  ignorance,  this 

24  set  I  forth  unto  you.  The  God  that  made  the  world 
and  all  things  therein,  he,  being  Lord  of  heaven  and 
earth,  dwelleth  not  in  'temples  made  with  hands; 

25  neither  is  he  served  by  men's  hands,  as  though  he 
needed  any  thing,  seeing  he  himself  giveth  to  all  life, 

26 and  breath,  and  all  things;  and  he  made  of  one 
every  nation  of  men  for  to  dwell  on  all  the  face  of 
the  earth,  having  determined  their   appointed  sea- 

27 sons,  and  the  bounds  of  their  habitation;  that  they 
should  seek  God,  if  haply  they  might  feel  after  him, 
and  find  him,  though  he  is  not  far  from  each  oae  of 

28  us:  for  in  him  we  live,  and  move,  and  have  our  be- 
ing; as  certain  even  of  your  own  poets  have  .said, 

29  For  we  are  also  his  offspring.  B^ing  then  the  off- 
spring of  God,  we  ought  not  to  tnink  that  'the  God- 
head is  like  unto  gold,  or  silver,  or  stone,  graven 

30 by  art  and  device  of  man.  The  times  of  ignorance 
tliercfore  God  overlooked;  but  now  he 'commandeth 

31  men  that  they  should  all  everywhere  repent:  inas- 
much as  he  hath  appointed  a  day,  in  the  which  he 
will  judge  '"the  world  in  righteousness  "by  '^the 
man  whom  he  hath  ordained ;  whereof  he  hath 
given  assurance  unto  all  men,  in  that  he  hath  raised 
nim  from  the  dead.

32  5[And  when  they  heard  of  the  resurrection  of  the  dead, 
some  mocked :  and  others  said,  We  will  hear  thee  again  of 
this  malter. 

33  So  Paul  departed  from  among  them. 

34  Howbeit  certain  men  clave  unto  him,  and  believed: 
among  the  which  was  Di-o-ny'si-us  the  A-re-op'a-gite,  and 
a  woman  named  Dam'a-ris,  and  others  with  them. 

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

Paul  accused  be/ore  Gallio. 

AFTER  these  things  Paul  departed  from  Ath'ens,  and 
came  to  Cor'inth; 

2  And  found  a  certain  Jew  named  " Aq'ui-la,  born  in  Pon,'tus, 
lately  come  from  It'a-ly,  with  his  wife  Pris-cil'la,  (because 
that  Claii'di-us  had  commauded  all  Jews  to  depart  from 
Rome,)  and  came  unto  them. 

3  And  bjcause  he  was  of  the  same  craft,  he  abode  with  them, 
''and  wrought:  (for  by  their  occupation  they  were  tentmakers.) 

4  "And  he  reasoned  in  the  synagogue  every  sabbath,  and 
p9rsuaded  the  Jews  and  the  Greeks. 

5  And  ''when  Si'las  and  Ti-mo'the-us  were  come  from 
Mac-e-do'ni-a,  Paul  was  'pres.sed  in  the  spirit,  and  testified 
to  the  Jews  that  Jesus  H  was  Christ. 

G  And  Avhen  they  opposed  themselves,  and  blasphemed, 
"he  shook  Ms  raiment,  and  said  unto  them,  ''Your  blood  be 
upon  your  own  heads ;  'I  am  clean :  *from  henceforth  I  will 
go  unto  the  Gentiles. 

7  ^And  he  departed  thence,  and  entered  into  a  certain 
man's  house  named  Jus'tus,  one  that  worshipped  God,  whose 
house  joined  hard  to  the  synagogue. 

8  'And  Cris'pus,  the  chief  ruler  of  the  synagogue  believed 
ontheLord  with  ail  his  house  ;  and  many  of  the  Co-rin'thi-ans 
hearing  believed,  and  were  baptized. 

9  Then  ""spake  the  Lord  to  Paul  in  the  night  by  a  vision, 
Be  not  afraid,  but  speak,  and  hold  not  thy  peace : 

10  "For  I  am  with  thee,  and  no  man  shall  set  on  thee,  to 
hurt  thee :  for  I  have  much  people  in  this  "city. 

11  And  he  fcontinued  there  a  year  and  six  months,  teach- 
ing the  word  of  God  among  them. 

12  ^And  when  Gal'li-o  was  the  deputy  of  A-cha'ia,  the 
Jews  made  insurrection  with  one  accord  again.st  Paul,  and 
brought  him  to  the  judgment  seat, 

13  Saying,  This  fellow  persuadeth  men  to  worship  God 
contrary  to  the  law. 

14  And  when  Paul  was  now  about  to  open  his  mouth,  Gal'- 
li-o said  unto  the  Jews,  "If  it  were  a  matter  of  wrong,  or 
wicked  lewdness,  O  ye  Jews,  reason  would  that  I  should  bear 
with  you  : 

15  But  if  it  be  a  question  of  words  and  names,  and  of  your 
law,  look  ye  to  it;  for  I  will  be  no  judge  of  such  matters. 

16  And  he  drave  them  from  the  judgment  seat. 

17  Then  all  the  Greeks  took  ""Sos  the-nes,  the  cbief  ruler  of 
the  synagogue,  and  beat  him  before  the  judgment  seat.  And 
Gal'li-o  cared  for  none  of  those  things. 

18  ^And  Paul  after  this  tarried  there  yet  a  good  while,  and 
then  took  his  leave  of  the  brethren,  and  sailed  thence  into 
Syr'i-a,  and  with  him  Pri.s-cil'la,  and  Aq'ui-Ia ;  having  "shorn 
his  head  in  ''Cen'chre-a :  for  he  had  a  vow. 

19  And  he  came  to  Eph'e-sus,  and  left  them  there:  buthehim- 
self  entered  into  the  synagogue,  and  reasoned  with  the  Jews. 

20  When  they  desired  him  to  tarry  longer  time  with  them, 
he  consented  not ; 

21  But  bade  them  farewell,  saying,  'I  must  by  all  means 
keep  this  feast  that  Cometh  in  Je-ru'sa-lem  :  but  I  will  return 
again  unto  you, 'if  God  will.    And  he  sailed  from  Eph'e-sus. 

22  And  when  he  had  landed  at  Ces-a-re'a,  and  gone  up,  and 
saluted  the  church,  he  went  down  to  An'ti-och. 

23  And  after  he  had  spent  some  time  there,  he  departed, 
and  went  over  all  the  country  of  "Ga-la'ti-a  and  Phryg'i-a 
in  order,  ""strengthening  all  the  disciples. 


32  Now  when  they  heard  of  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  some  mocked;  but  others  said.  We  will  hear 
33 thee  concerning  this  yet  again.  Thus  Paul  went 
34  out  from  among  them.  But  certain  men  clave  unto 
him, and  believed :  among  whom  also  was  Di-o-ny'si-us 
the  A-re-op'a-gite,  and  a  woman  named  Dam'a-ris, 
and  others  with  them. 

J-0  After  these  things  he  departed  from  Ath'ens,  and 
2  came  to  Cor'inth.  And  he  found  a  certain  Jew 
named  Aq'ui-la,  a  man  of  Pon'tus  by  race,  lately  come 
from  It'a-ly,  with  his  wife  Pris-cil'la,  because  Clau'di-us 
had  commanded  all  the  Jews  to  depart  from  Rome : 
Sand  he  came  unto  them;  and  because  he  was  of  the 
same  trade,  he  abode  with  them,  and  they  wrought; 

4  for  by  their  trade  they  were  tentmakers.  And  he 
reasoned  in  the  synagogue  every  sabbath,  and  'per- 
suaded Jews  and  Greeks. 

5  But  when  Si'las  and  Tim'o-thy  came  down  from 
Mac-e-do'ni-a,  Paul  was  constrained  by  the   word, 

6  testifying  to  the  Jews  that  Jesus  was  the  Christ.  And 
when  they  opposed  themselves,  and  ^blasphemed,  he 
shook  out  his  raiment,  and  said  unto  them.  Your 
blood  be  upon  your  own  heads ;  I  am  clean  :  from 

7  henceforth  I  will  go  unto  the  Gentiles.  And  he  de- 
parted thence,  and  went  into  the  house  of  a  certain 
man  named  Ti'tus  Jus'tus,  one  that  worshipped  God, 

8  whose  house  joined  hard  to  the  synagogue.  And 
Cris'pus,  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  'believed  in  the 
Lord  with  all  his  house ;  and  many  of  the  Co-rin'- 

9  thi-ans  hearing  believed,  and  were  baptized.  And 
the  Lord  said  unto  Paul  in  the  night  by  a  vision.  Be 

10 not  afraid,  but  speak,  and  hold  not  thy  peace:  for  I 
am  with  thee,  and  no  man  shall  set  on  thee  to  harm 

11  thee:  for  I  have  much  people  in  this  city.  And  he 
dwelt  there  a  year  and  six  months,  teaching  the  word 
of  God  among  them. 

12  But  when  Gal'li-o  was  proconsul  of  A-cha'ia,  the 
Jews   with   one   accord   rose   up  against   Paul,  and 

13 brought  him  before  the  judgement-seat,  saying, 
This  man  persuadeth  men  to  worship  God  contrary 

14  to  the  law.  But  when  Paul  was  about  to  open  his 
mouth,  Gal'li-o  said  unto  the  Jews,  If  indeed  it  were 
a  matter  of  wrong  or  of  wicked  villany,  O  ye  Jews, 

15 reason  would  that  I  should  bear  with  you:  but  if 
they  are  questions  about  words  and  names  and  your 
own  law,  look  to  it  yourselves;    I  am  not  minded 

16  to  be  a  judge  of  the.se  matters.     And  he  drave  them 

17  from  the  judgement-seat.  And  they  all  laid  hold 
on  Sos'the-nes,  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  and  beat 
him  before  the  judgement-seat.  And  Gal'li-o  cared 
for  none  of  these  things. 

18  And  Paul  having  tarried  after  this  yet  many  days, 
took  his  leave  of  the  brethren,  and  sailed  thence  for 
Syr'i-a,  and  with  him  Pris-cil'la  and  Aq'ui-la;  hav- 
ing shorn  his  head  in  Cen'chre-£e:  for  he  had  a  vow. 

19  And  they  came  to  Eph'e-sus,  and  he  left  them  there: 
but  he  himself  entered  into  the  synagogue,  and  rea- 

20soned   with   the  Jews.     And   when  they  asked  him 

21  to  abide  a  longer  time,  he  consented  not;  but  taking 
his  leave  of  them,  and  saying,  I  will  return  again 
unto  you,  if  God  will,  he  set  sail  from   Eph'e-sus. 

22  And  when  he  had  landed  at  Ca;s-a-re'a,  he  went  up 
and  saluted  the  church,  and  went  down  to  An'ti-och. 

23  And  having  spent  some  time  there,  he  departed,  and 
went  through  the  region  of  Ga-la'ti-a  and  Phryg'i-a 
in  order,  stablishing  all  the  disciples.

24  ^"And  a  certain  Jew  named  Apol'los,  born  at  Al-ex- 
an'dri-a,  an  eloquent  man,  and  mighty  in  the  Scriptures,  came 
to  Eph'e-sus. 

25  This  man  was  instructed  in  the  way  of  the  Lord ;  and 
being  'fervent  in  the  spirit,  he  spake  and  taught  diligently 
the  things  of  the  Lord,  "knowing  only  the  baptism  of  John. 

26  And  he  began  to  speak  boldly  in  the  synagogue :  whom 
when  Aq'ui-la  and  Pris-cil'la  had  heard,  they  took  him  unto 
them, and  expounded  unto  him  the  way  of  God  more  perfectly. 

27  And  when  he  was  disposed  to  pass  into  A-cha'ia,  the 
brethren  wrote,  exhorting  the  disciples  to  receive  him :  who, 
when  he  was  come,  'helped  them  much  which  had  believed 
through  grace : 

28  For  he  mightily  convinced  the  Jews,  and  that  publicly, 
""shewing  by  the  Scriptures  that  Jesus  ||was  Christ. 

CHAPTER    XIX. 

Thg  Holy  Ghost  given, 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while  "A-pol'los  was  at  Cor'inth, 
Paul  having  passed  through  the  upper  coasts  .came  to 
Eph'e-sus;  and  finding  certain  disciples, 

2  He  said  unto  them,  Have  ye  received  the  Holy  Ghost 
since  ye  believed?  And  they  said  unto  him,  "We  have  not 
so  much  as  heard  whether  there  be  any  Holy  Ghost. 

3  And  he  said  unto  them,  Unto  what  then  were  ye  bap- 
tized?    And  they  said,  ''Unto  John's  baptism. 

4  Then  said  Paul,  'John  verily  baptized  with  the  baptism  of 
repentance,  saying  unto  the  people,  that  they  should  believe 
on  him  which  should  come  after  him,  that  is,  on  Christ  Jesus. 

5  When  they  heard  this,  they  were  baptized  ^n  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

6  And  when  Paul  had  "laid  his  hands  upon  them,  the 
Holy  Ghost  came  on  them;  and  *they  spake  with  tongues, 
and  prophesied. 

7  And  all  the  men  were  about  twelve. 

8  'And  he  went  into  the  synagogue,  and  spake  boldly  for 
the  space  of  three  months,  disputing  and  persuading  the 
things  ^concerning  the  kingdom  of  God. 

9  But  'when  divers  were  hardened,  and  believed  not,  but 
spake  evil  ""of  that  way  before  the  multitude,  he  departed 
from  them,  aud  separated  the  disciples,  disputing  daily  in 
the  school  of  one  Ty-ran'nus. 

10  And  "this  continued  by  the  space  of  two  years;  so 
that  all  they  which  dwelt  in  A'si-a  heard  the  word  of  the 
Lord  Jesus,  both  Jews  and  Greeks. 

1 1  And  "God  wrought  special  miracles  by  the  hands  of  Paul : 

12  ''So  that  from  his  body  were  brought  unto  the  sick 
handkerchiefs  or  aprons,  and  the  diseases  departed  from 
them,  and  the  evil  spirits  went  out  of  them. 

13  ^«Then  certain  of  the  vagabond  Jews,  exorcists,  ''took 
upon  them  to  call  over  them  which  had  evil  spirits  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  saying,  We  adjure  you  by  Jesus  whom 
Paul  preacheth. 

14  And  there  were  seven  sons  of  one  Sce'va  a  Jew,  and 
chief  of  the  priests,  which  did  so. 

15  And  the  evil  spirit  answered  and  said,  Jesus  I  know, 
and  Paul  I  know ;  but  who  are  ye  ? 

16  And  the  man  in  whom  the  evil  spirit  was  leaped  on 
them,  and  overcame  them,  and  prevailed  against  them,  so 
that  they  fled  out  of  that  house  naked  and  wounded. 

17  And  this  was  known  to  all  the  Jews  and  Greeks  also 
dwelling  at  Eph'e-sus;  and  'fear  fell  on  them  all,  and  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus  was  magnified. 

18  And  many  that  believed  came,  and  'confessed,  and 
shewed  their  deeds. 

19  Many  of  them  also  which  used  curious  arts  brought 
their  books  together,  and  burned  them  before  all  men;  and 
they  counted  the  price  of  them,  and  found  it  fifty  thousand 
pieces  of  silver. 

20  "So  mightily  grew  the  word  of  God  and  prevailed. 


24  Now  a  certain  Jew  named  A-pol'los,  an  Al-ex-an'dri-an 
by  race,  'a  learned  man,  came  to  Eph'e-sus,  and  he 

25  was  mighty  in  the  scriptures.  This  man  had  been 
^instructed  in  the  way  of  the  Lord;  and  being  fer- 
vent in  spirit,  he  spake  and  taught  carefully  the 
things  concerning  Jesus,  knowing  only  the  baptism 

26  of  John :  and  he  began  to  speak  boldly  in  the  syna- 
gogue. But  when  Pris-cil'la  and  Aq'ui-la  heard  him, 
they  took  him  unto  them,  and  expounded  unto  him 

27  the  way  of  God  more  carefully.  And  when  he  was 
minded  to  pass  over  into  A-cha'ia,  the  brethren  en- 
couraged him,  and  wrote  to  the  disciples  to  receive 
him:    and   when    he    was    come,  he    helped    them 

28 much  which  had  believed  through  grace:  for  he 
powerfully  confuted  the  Jews,  *and  that  publicly, 
shewing  by  the  scriptures  that  Jesus  was  the  Christ. 

J-v  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while  A-pol'los  was  at 
Cor'inth,  Paul  having  passed  through  the  upper  coun- 
try came  to  Eph'e-sus,  and  found  certain  disciples : 

2  and  he  said  unto  them,  Did  ye  receive  the  Holy 
Ghost  when  ye  believed?  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Nay,  we  did  not  so  much  as  hear  whether  Hhe  Holy 

3  Ghost  was  given.  And  he  said.  Into  what  then  were 
ye  baptized?     And  they  said.  Into  John's  baptism 

4  And  Paul  said,  John  baptized  with  the  baptism  of 
repentance,  saying  unto  the  people,  that  they  should 
believe  on  him  which  should  come  after  him,  that  is, 

6  on  Jesus.     And  when  they  heard  this,  they  were 

6  baptized  into  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.  And 
when  Paul  had  laid  his  hands  upon  them,  the  Holy 
Ghost  came  on  them ;  and  they  spake  with  tongues, 

7  and  prophesied.  And  they  were  in  all  about  twelve 
men. 

8  And  he  entered  into  the  synagogue,  and  spake 
boldly  for  the  space  of  three  months,  reasoning  and 
persuading  as  to  the  things  concerning  the  kingdom 

9  of  God.  But  when  some  were  hardened  and  diso- 
bedient, speaking  evil  of  the  Way  before  the  multi- 
tude, he  departed  from  them,  and  separated  the  dis- 
ciples, reasoning  daily  in  the  school  of  Ty-ran'nus. 

10 And  this  continued  for  the  space  of  two  years;  so 

that  all  they  which  dwelt  in  A'si-a  heard  the  word  of 

1 1  the  Lord,  both  Jews  and  Greeks.     And  God  wrought 

12 special  ^miracles  by  the  hands   of  Paul:    insomuch 

that  unto  the  sick  were  carried  away  from  his  body 

handkerchiefs  or  aptons,  and  the  diseases  departed 

13  from  them,  and  the  evil  spirits  went  out.  But  cer- 
tain also  of  the  strolling  Jews,  exorcists,  took  upon 
them  to  name  over  them  which  had  the  evil  spirits 
the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  saying,  I  adjure  you  by 

14  Jesus  whom  Paul  preacheth.  And  there  were  seven 
sons  of  one  Sce'va,  a  Jew,  a  chief  priest,  which  did 

15  this.  And  the  evil  spirit  answered  ^nd  said  unto 
them,  Jesus  I  'know,  and  Paul  I  know ;  but  who  are 

16 ye?  And  the  man  in  whom  the  evil  spirit  was 
leaped  on  them,  and  mastered  both  of  them,  and 
prevailed  against  them,  so  that  they  fled  out  of  that 

17  house  naked  and  wounded.  And  this  became  known 
to  all,  both  Jews  and  Greeks,  that  dwelt  at  Eph'e-sus ; 
and  fear  fell  upon  them  all,  and  the  name  of  the  Lord 

18  Jesus  was  magnified.  Many  also  of  them  that  had 
believed  came,  confessing,  and  declaring  their  deeds. 

19  And  not  a  few  of  them  that  practised  'curious  arts 
brought  their  books  together,  and  burned  them  in 
the  sight  of  all:  and  they  counted  the  price  of 
them,  and   found  it  fifty  thousand  pieces  of  silver. 

20 So  mightily  grew  the  word  of  the  Lord  and  pre- 
vailed.

21  H"^ After  these  things  were  ended,  Paul  "purposed  in  the 
spirit,  when  he  had  passed  through  Mac-e-do'ni-a  and 
A-eha'ia,  to  go  to  Je-ru'-sa-lem,  saying.  After  I  have  been 
there  'I  must  also  see  Rome. 

22  So  he  sent  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a  two  of  "them  that  minis- 
tered unto  him,  Ti-mo'the-us  and  'E-ras'tus :  but  he  himself 
stayed  in  A'si-a  for  a  season. 

23  And  ''the  same  time  there  arose  no  small  stir  about 
''that  way. 

24  For  a  certain  man  named  De-me'tri-us,  a  silversmith, 
which  made  silver  shrines  for  Di-an'a,  brought  'no  small  gain 
unto  the  craftsmen ; 

25  Whom  he  called  together  with  the  workmen  of  like 
occupation,  and  said,  Sirs,  ye  know  that  by  this  craft  we 
have  our  wealth. 

26  Moreover  ye  see  and  hear,  that  not  alone  at  Eph'e-sus, 
but  almost  throughout  all  A'si-a,  this  Paul  hath  persuaded 
and  turned  away  much  people,  saying  that  -^they  be  no  gods, 
which  are  made  with  hands : 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft  is  in  danger  to  be  set  at 
naught;  but  also  that  the  temple  of  the  great  goddess 
Di-an'a  should  be  despised,  and  her  magnificence  should  be 
destroyed,  whom  all  A'si-a  and  the  world  worshippeth. 

28  And  when  they  heard  thesesayings,they  were  fuUof  wrath, 
and  cried  out,  saying,  Great  is  Di-an'a  of  the  E-phe'si-ans. 

29  And  the  whole  city  was  filled  with  confusion :  and  hav- 
ing caught  "Ga'ius  and  "Ar-is-tar'chus,  men  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a, 
Paul's  companions  in  travel,  they  rushed  with  one  accord 
into  the  theatre. 

30  And  when  Paul  would  have  entered  in  unto  the  people, 
the  disciples  suffered  him  not. 

31  And  certain  of  the  chief  of  A'si-a,  which  were  his 
friends,  sent  unto  him,  desiring  him  that  he  would  not  ad- 
venture himself  into  the  theatre. 

32  Some  therefore  cried  one  thing,  and  some  another :  for 
the  assembly  was  confused;  and  the  more  part  knew  not 
wherefore  they  were  come  together. 

33  And  they  drew  Al-ex-an'der  out  of  the  multitude,  the 
Jews  putting  him  forward.  And  'Al-ex-an'der  *beckoned  with 
the  hand,  and  would  have  made  his  defence  unto  the  people. 

34  But  when  they  knew  that  he  was  a  Jew,  all  with  one 
voice  about  the  space  of  two  hours  cried  out.  Great  is  Di-an'a 
of  the  E-phe'si-ans

35  And  when  the  townclerk  had  appeased  the  people,  he 
said.  Ye  men  of  Eph'e-sus,  what  man  is  there  that  knoweth 

'i,mpb>.  ]  °ot  ^o"^^  t^at  tlie  city  of  the  E-phe'si-ans  is  fa  worshipper 
I  of  the  great  goddess  Di-an'a,  and  of  the  image  which  fell 
'down  from  Ju'pi-ter? 

36  Seeing  then  that  these  things  cannot  be  spoken  against, 
ye  ought  to  be  quiet,  and  to  do  nothing  rashly. 

37  For  ye  have  brought  hither  these  men,  which  are  neither 
robbers  of  churches,  nor  yet  bla.sphemers  of  your  goddess. 

38  Wherefore  if  De-me'tri-us,  and  the  craftsmen  which  are 
with  him,  have  a  matter  against  any  man,  ||the  law  is  open, 
and  there  are  deputies :  let  them  implead  one  another. 

39  But  if  ye  inquire  any  thing  concerning  other  matters,  it 
shall  be  determined  in  a  ||  lawful  assembly. 

40  For  we  are  in  danger  to  be  called  in  question  for  this 
day's  uproar,  there  being  no  cause  whereby  we  may  give  an 
account  of  this  concourse. 

41  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  dismissed  the  as- 
sembly. 

CHAPTER    XX. 

Paul  preacheth  at  Troas.  * 

AND  after  the  uproar  was  ceased,  Paul  called  unto  him.  the 
disciples,  and  embraced  them,  and  "departed  for  to  go 
into  Mac-e-do'ni-a. 

2  And  when  he  had  gone  over  those  parts,  and  had  given 
them  much  exhortation,  he  came  into  Greece,

21      Now  after  these  things  were  ended,  Paul  purposed 
in  the  spirit,  when  he  had  passed  through  Mac-e-do 
ni-a  and  A-cha'ia,  to  go  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  saying,  After 

22 1  have  been  here,  I  must  also  see  Rome.     And  hav 
ing  sent  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a  two  of  them  that  minis- 
tered unto  him,  Tim'o-thy  and  E-ras'tus,  he  himself 
stayed  in  A'si-a  for  a  while. 

23  And  about  that   time  there  arose  no  small  stir 

24  concerning  the  Way.  For  a  certain  man  named 
De-me'tri-us,  a  silversmith,  which  made  silver  shrines 
of 'Di-an'a,  brought  no  little  business  unto  the  crafts- 

25  men ;  whom  he  gathered  together,  with  the  work- 
men of  like  occupation,  and  said.  Sirs,  ye  know  that 

26  by  this  business  we  have  our  wealth.  And  ye  see 
and  hear,  that  not  alone  at  Eph'e-sus,  but  almost 
throughout  all  A'si-a,  this  Paul  hath  persuaded  and 
turned  away  much  people,  saying  that  they  be  no 

27 gods,  which  are  made  with  hands:  and  not  only  is 
there  danger  that  this  our  trade  come  into  disrepute ; 
but  also  that  the  temple  of  the  great  goddess  'Di-an'a 
be  made  of  no  account,  and  that  she  should  even  be 
deposed  from  her  magnificence,  whom  all  A'si-a  and 

28Hhe  world  worshippeth.  And  when  they  heard  this, 
they  were  filled  with  wrath,  and  cried  out,  saying 

29  Great  is  'Di-an'a  of  the  E-phe'si-ans.  And  the  city  was 
filled  with  the  confusion :  and  they  rushed  with  one 
accord  into  the  theatre,  having  seized  Ga'ius  and 
Ar-is-tar'chus,  men  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  Paul'scompanions 

30  in  travel.     And  when  Paul  was  minded  to  enter  in 

31  unto  the  people,  the  disciples  suffered  him  not.  And 
certain  also  of  the  'chief  officers  of  A'si-a,  being 
his  friends,  sent  unto  him,  and  besought  him  not  to 

32  adventure  himself  into  the  theatre.  Some  therefore 
cried  one  thing,  and  some  another :  for  the  assem- 
bly was  in  confusion;  and  the  more  part  knew  not 

33  wherefore  they  were  come  together.  *And  they 
brought  Al-ex-an'der  out  of  the  multitude,  the  Jews 
putting  him  forward.  And  Al-ex-an'der  beckoned 
with  the  hand,  and  would  have  made  a  defence  unto 

34  the  people.  But  when  they  perceived  that  he  was  a 
Jew,  all  with  one  voice  about  the  space  of  two  hours 

35  cried  out,  Great  is  'Di-an'a  of  the  E-phe'si-ans.  And 
when  the  townclerk  had  quieted  the  multitude,  he 
saith.  Ye  men  of  Eph'e-sus,  what  man  is  there  who 
knoweth  not  how  that  the  city  of  the  E-phe'si-ans  is 
temple-keeper  of  the  great  'Di-an'a,  and  of  the  image 

36 which  fell  down  from  'Ju'pi-ter?  Seeing  then  that 
these   things  cannot  be   gainsaid,  ye  ought  to   be 

37  quiet,  and  to  do  nothing  rash.  For  ye  have  brought 
hither  these  men,  which  are  neither  robbers  of  tem- 

38  pies  nor  blasphemers  of  our  goddess.  If  therefore 
De-me'tri-us,  and  the  craftsmen  that  ai*e  with  him, 
have  a  matter  against  any  man,  'the  courts  are  open, 
and  there  are  proconsuls:  let  them  accuse  one  an- 

39  other.     But  if  ye  seek  anything  about  other  matters, 

40  it  shall  be  settled  in  the  regular  assembly.  For  in- 
deed we  are  in  danger  to  be  'accused  concerning 
this  day's  riot,  there  being  no  cause  for  it:  and  as 
touching  it  we  shall  not  be  able  to  give  account  of 

41  this  concourse.  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he 
dismissed  the  assembly. 

20 

And  after  the  uproar  was  ceased,  Paul  having  sent 

for  the   disciples  and  exhorted  them,  took  leave  of 

2  them,  and  departed  for  to  go  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a.  And 

when  he  had  gone   through  those  parts,  and  had 

given  them  much  exhortation,  he  came  into  Greece.

3  And  there  abode  three  months.  And  ''when  the  Jews 
laid  wait  for  hira,  as  he  was  about  to  sail  into  Syr'i-a,  he 
purposed  to  return  through  Mac-e-do'ni-a. 

4  And  there  accompanied  him  into  A'si-a,  Sop'a-ter  of 
Be-re'a ;  and  of  the  Thes-sa-lo'ni-ans,  "Ar-is-tar'chus  and 
Se-cun'dus;  and  ''Ga'ius  of  Der'be,  and  'Ti-mo'the-us ;  and 
of  A'si-a,  -TTych'i-cus  and  "Troph'i-mus. 

5  These  going  before  tarried  for  us  at  Tro'as. 

6  And  we  sailed  away  from  Phi-lip'pi,  after  *the  days  of 
unleavened  bread,  and  came  unto  them  'to  Tro'as  in  five 
days;  where  we  abode  seven  days. 

7  And  upon  *the  firstdoi/of  the  week,  when  thedisciplescame 
together  'to  break  bread,  Paul  preached  unto  them,  ready  to 
depart  on  the  morrow;  and  continued  his  speech  until  midnight. 

8  And  there  were  many  lights  "in  the  upper  chamber, 
where  they  were  gathered  together. 

9  And  there  sat  in  a  window  a  certain  young  man  named 
Eu'ty-chus,  being  fallen  into  a  deep  sleep:  and  as  Paul  was 
long  preaching,  he  sunk  down  with  sleep,  and  fell  down 
from  the  third  loft,  and  was  taken  up  dead. 

10  And  Paul  went  down,  and  "fell  on  him,  and  embracing 
him  said,  "Trouble  not  yourselves ;  for  his  life  is  in  him. 

11  When  he  therefore  was  come  up  again,  and  had  broken 
bread,  and  eaten,  and  talked  a  long  while,  even  till  break 
of  day,  so  he  departed. 

12  And  they  brought  the  young  man  alive,  and  were  not 
a  little  comforted. 

13  ^And  we  went  before  to  ship,  and  sailed  unto  As'sos, 
there  intending  to  take  in  Paul :  for  so  had  he  appointed, 
minding  himself  to  go  afoot. 

14  And  when  he  met  with  us  at  As'sos,  we  took  him  in, 
and  came  to  Mit-y-le'ne. 

15  And  we  sailed  thence,  and  came  the  next  day  over 
against  Chi'os ;  and  the  next  day  we  arrived  at  Sa'mos,  and 
tarried  at  Tro-gyl'li-um;  and  the  next  day  we  cameto  Mi-le'tus. 

16  For  Paul  had  determined  to  sail  by  Eph'e-sus,  because  he 
would  not  spend  the  time  in  A'si-a :  "for  he  hasted,  if  it  were 
possible  for  him,  «to  be  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  'the  day  of  Pentecost. 

17  ^And  from  Mi-le'tus  he  sent  to  Eph'e-sus,  and  called 
the  elders  of  the  church. 

18  And  when  they  were  come  to  him,  he  said  unto  them, 
Ye  know,  'from  the  first  day  that  I  came  to  A'si-a,  after 
what  manner  I  have  been  with  you  at  all  seasons, 

19  Serving  the  Lord  with  all  humility  of  mind,  and  with 
many  tears,  and  temptations  which  befell  me  'by  the  lying 
in  wait  of  the  Jews: 

20  And  how  "I  kept  back  nothing  that  was  profitable  unto 
you,  but  have  shewed  you,  aild  have  taught  you  publicly, 
and  from  house  to  house, 

21  'Testifying  both  to  the  Jews,  and  also  to  the  Greeks,  "re- 
pentance toward  God,  and  faith  toward  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

22  And  now,  behold,  'I  go  bound  in  the  spirit  unto  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem, not  knowing  the  things  that  shall  befall  me  there: 

23  Save  that  "the  Holy  Ghost  witnesseth  in  every  city, 
saying,  that  bonds  and  afflictions  ||  abide  me. 

24  But  'none  of  these  things  move  me,  rteither  count  I  my 
life  dear  unto  myself,  "so  that  I  might  finish  my  course  with 
joy,  ''and  the  ministry,  'which  I  have  received  of  the  Lord 
Jesus,  to  testify  the  gospol  of  the  grace  of  God. 

25  And  now,  behold,^!  know  that  ye  all,  among  whom  I  have 
gonepreachingthekingdomof  God,  shall  see  my  face  no  more. 

26  Wherefore  I  take  you  to  record  this  day,  that  I  am 
"pure  from  the  blood  of  all  men. 

27  For  *I  have  not  shunned  to  declare  unto  you  all  'the 
counsel  of  God. 

28  ^*Take  heed  therefore  unto  yourselves,  and  to  all  the 
flock,  over  the  which  the  Holy  Ghost  "hath  made  you  over- 
seers, to  feed  the  church  of  God,  "which  he  hath  purchased 
"with  his  own  blood. 


3  And  when  he  had  spent  three  months  there,  and  a 
plot  was  laid  against  him  by  the  Jews,  as  he  was 
about  to  set  sail  for  Syr'i-a,  he  determined  to  return 

4  through  Mac-e-do'ni-a.  And  there  accompanied  him 
'as  far  as  A'si-a  Sop'a-ter  of  Be-rce'a,  the  son  of  Pyr'- 
rhus;  and  of  the  Thes-sa-lo'ui-ans,  Ar-is-tar'chus  and 
Se-cun'dus;  and  Ga'iusof  Der'be,  and  Tim'o-thy;  and 

5  of  A'si-a,  Tych'i-cus,  and  Troph'i-mus.  But  these  ^had 
gone   before,  and   were    waiting  for   us   at   Tro'as. 

6  And  we  sailed  away  from  Phi-lip'pi  after  the  days  of 
unleavened  bread,  and  came  unto  them  to  Tro'as  in 
five  days;  where  we  tarried  seven  days. 

7  And   upon  the  first  day  of  the  week,  when  we 
were  gathered  together  to  break  bread,  Paul  dis 
coursed  with  them,  intending  to  depart  on  the  mor- 
row ;   and    prolonged    his    speech    until    midnight. 

8  And  there  were  many  lights  in  the  upper  chamber, 

9  where  we  were  gathered  together.  And  there  sat 
in  the  window  a  certain  young  man  named  Eu'- 
ty-chus, borne  down  with  deep  sleep;  and  as  Paul 
discoursed  yet  longer,  being  borne  down  by  his 
sleep  he  fell  down  from  the  third  story,  and  was 

lOtaken  up  dead.  And  Paul  went  down,  and  fell  on 
him,  and  embracing  him,  said.  Make  ye  no  ado ;  for 

11  his  life  is  in  him.  And  when  he  was  gone  up,  and 
had  broken  the  bread,  and  eaten,  and  had  talked 
with  them  a  long  while,  even  till  break  of  day,  so 

12  he  departed.  And  they  brought  the  lad  alive,  and 
were  not  a  little  comforted. 

13  But  we,  going  before  to  the  ship,  set  sail  for 
As'sos,  there  intending  to  take  in  Paul:  for  so  had 
he   appointed,  intending   him.self   to   go    ^by    land. 

14  And  when  he  met  us  at  As'sos,  we  took  him  in,  and 

15  came  to  Mit-y-le'ne.  And  sailing  from  thence,  we 
came  the  following  day  over  against  Chi'os;  and  the 
next  day  we  touched  at  Sa'mos ;  and  Hhe  day  after  we 

16  came  to  Mi-le'tus.  For  Paul  had  determined  to  sail 
past  Eph'e-sus,  that  he  might  not  have  to  spend  time 
in  A'si-a;  for  he  was  hastening,  if  it  were  possible 
for  him,  to  be  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  the  day  of  Pentecost. 

17  And  from  Mi-le'tus  he  sent  to  Eph'e-sus,  and  called 

18  to  him  the  'elders  of  the  church.  And  when  they 
were  come  to  him,  he  said  unto  them. 

Ye  yourselves  know,  from  the  first  day  that  I  set 
foot  in  A'si-a,  after  what  manner  I  was  with  you  all 

19  the  time,  serving  the  Lord  with  all  lowliness  of 
mind,  and  with  tears,  and  with  trials  which  befell 

20 me  by  the  plots  of  the  Jews:  how  that  T  shrank  not 
from  declaring  unto  you  anything  that  was  profit- 
able, and  teaching  you  publicly,  and  from  house  to 

2Lhouse,  testifying  both  to  Jews  and  to  Greeks  re- 
pentance toward  God,  and  faith  toward  our  Lord 

22  Jesus  ^Christ.  And  now,  behold,  I  go  bound  in  the 
spirit  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  not  knowing  the  things  that 

23 shall  befall  me  there:  save  that  the  Holy  Ghost 
testifieth  unto  me   in  every  city,  saying  that  bonds 

24  and  afflictions  abide  me.  But  I  hold  not  my  life  of 
any  account,  as  dear  unto  myself,  'so  that  I  may 
accomplish  my  course,  and  the  ministry  which  I  re- 
ceived from  the  Lord  Jesus,  to  testify  the  gospel  of 

25  the  grace  of  God.  And  now,  behold,  I  know  that  ye 
all,  among  whom  I  went  about  preaching  the  king- 

26dom,  shall  see  my  face  no  more.  Wherefore  I  testify 
unto  you  this  day,  that  I  am  pure  from  the  blood  of 

27  all  men.     For  I  shrank  not  from  declaring  unto  you 

28  the  whole  counsel  of  God.  Take  heed  unto  your- 
selves, and  to  all  the  flock,  in  the  which  the  Holy 
Ghost  hath  made  you  'bishops,  to  feed  the  church 
of  *God,  which  he  '"purchased  with  his  own  blood.

29  For  I  know  this,  that  after  my  departing  "shall  griev 
ous  wolves  enter  in  among  you,  not  sparing  the  flock. 

30  Also  ''of  your  own  selves  shall  men  arise,  speaking  per- 
verse things,  to  draw  away  disciples  after  them. 

31  Therefore  watch,and  remember,  that  'by  the  space  of  three 
years  I  ceased  not  to  warn  every  one  night  and  day  with  tears. 

32  And  now,  brethren,  I  commend  you  to  God,  and  ''to 
the  word  of  his  grace,  which  is  able  'to  build  you  up,  and  to 
give  you  'an  inheritance  among  all  them  which  are  sanctified. 

33  "I  have  coveted  no  man's  silver,  or  gold,  or  apparel. 

34  Yea,  ye  yourselves  know,  ''that  these  hands  have  minis- 
tered unto  my  necessities,  and  to  them  that  were  with  me. 

35  I  have  shewed  you  all  thing.9,  "how  that  so  labouring 
ye  ought  to  support  the  weak,  and  to  remember  the  words 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  how  he  said.  It  is  more  blessed  to  give 
than  to  receive. 

36  ^And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  lie  'kneeled  down, 
and  prayed  with  them  all. 

37  And  they  all  wept  sore,  and  "fell  on  Paul's  neck,  and 
kis.sed  him, 

38  Sorrowing  most  of  all  for  the  words  ''which  he  spake,  that 
they  should  see  his  face  no  more.  And  they  accompanied 
him  unto  the  ship. 

CHAPTER    XXI. 

Paul  goeth  to  Jerusalem. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that  after  we  were  gotten  from 
them,  and  had  launched,  we  came  with  a  straight  course 
unto  Co'os,  and  the  day  following  unto  Rhodes,  and  from 
thence  unto  Pat'a-ra : 

2  And  finding  a  ship  sailing  over  unto  Phe-ni'ci-a,  we  went 
aboard,  and  set  forth. 

3  Now  when  we  had  discovered  Cy'prus,  we  left  it  on  the 
left  hand,  and  sailed  into  Syr'i-a,  and  landed  at  Tyre ;  for 
there  the  ship  was  to  unlade  her  burden. 

4  And  finding  disciples,  we  tarried  there  seven  days :  "who 
said  to  Paul  through  the  Spirit,  that  he  should  not  go  up  to 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  And  when  we  had  accomplished  those  days,  we  departed 
and  went  our  way ;  and  they  all  brought  us  on  our  way, 
with  wives  and  children,  till  we  were  out  of  the  city :  and 
''we  kneeled  down  on  the  shore,  and  prayed. 

6  And  when  we  bad  taken  our  leave  one  of  another,  we 
took  ship;  and  they  returned  'home  again. 

7  And  when  we  had  finished  our  course  from  Tyre,  we 
came  to  Ptol-e-ma'is,  and  saluted  the  brethren,  and  abode 
with  them  one  day. 

8  And  the  next  day  we  that  were  of  Paul's  company  de- 
parted, and  came  unto  Ces-a-re'a;  and  we  entered  into  the 
house  of  Phil'ip  ■'the  evangelist,  'which  was  owe  of  the  seven ; 
and  abode  with  him. 

9  And  the  same  man  had  four  daughters,  virgins,  -^which 
did  prophesy. 

10  And  as  we  tarried  there  many  days,  there  came  down 
from  Ju-de'a  a  certain  prophet,  named  "Ag'a-bus. 

11  And  when  he  was  come  unto  us,  he  took  Paul's  girdle, 
and  bound  his  own  hands  and  feet,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the 
Holy  Ghost,  *So  shall  the  Jews  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  bind  the  man 
that  ovvneth  this  girdle,  and  shall  deliver  him  into  the  hands 
of  the  Gentiles. 

12  And  when  he  heard  these  things,  both  we,  and  they 
of  that  place,  besought  him  not  to  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

i3  Then  Paul  answered,  'What  mean  ye  to  weep  and  to 
break  mine  heart?  for  I  am  ready  not  to  be  bound  only,  but 
also  to  die  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

14  And  when  he  would  not  be  persuaded,  we  ceased,  say- 
ing, *The  will  of  the  Lord  be  done. 

15  And  after  those  days  we  took  up  our  carriages,  and 
went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

16  There  went  with  us  also  certain  of  the  disciplesof  Ces-a-re'a, 


29 1  know  that  after  my  departing  grievous  wolves  shall 

30  enter  in  among  you,  not  sparing  the  flock;  and  from 
among  your  own  selves  shall  men  arise,  speaking 
perverse  things,  to  draw  away  the  disciples  after  them, 

31  Wherefore  watch  ye,  remembering  that  by  the  space 
of  three  years  I  ceased  not  to  admonish  every  one 

32  night  and  day  with  tears.  And  now  I  commend  you 
to  'God,  and  to  the  word  of  his  grace,  which  is  able 
to  build  you  up,  and  to  give  you  the  inheritance  among 

33  all  them  that  are  sanctified.     I  coveted  no  man's  sil- 

34  ver,  or  gold,  or  apparel.  Ye  yourselves  know  that 
these  hands  ministered  unto  my  necessities,  and  to 

35  them  that  were  with  me.  In  all  things  I  gave  you 
an  example,  how  that  so  labouring  ye  ought  to  fielp 
the  weak,  and  to  remember  the  words  of  the  Lord 
Jesus,  how  he  himself  said,  It  is  more  blessed  to 
give  than  to  receive 

36  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  kneeled  down, 

37  and  prayed  with  them  all.     And  they  all  wept  sore, 

38  and  fell  on  Paul's  neck,  and  kissed  him,  sorrowing 
most  of  all  for  the  word  which  he  had  spoken,  that 
they  should  behold  his  face  no  more.  And  they 
brought  him  on  his  way  unto  the  ship, 

^J-     And  when  it  came  to  pass  that  we  were  parted 

from  them,  and  had  set  sail,  we  came  with  a  straight 

course  unto  Cos,  and  the  next  day  unto  Rhodes,  and 

2 from  thence  unto  Pat'a-ra:  and  having  found  a  ship 

crossing  over  unto  Phoe-ni'ci-a,  we  went  aboard,  and 

3  set  sail.  And  when  we  had  come  in  sight  of  Cy'prus 
leaving  it  on  the  left  hand,  we  sailed  unto  Syr'i-a,  and 
landed  at  Tyre :  for  there  the  ship  was  to  unlade  her 

4  burden.  And  having  found  the  disciples,  we  tarried 
there  seven  days:  and  these  said  to  Paul  through 
the  Spirit,  that  he  should  not  set  foot  in  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

5  And  when  it  came  to  pass  that  we  had  accomplished 
the  days,  we  departed  and  went  on  our  journey ;  and 
they  all,  with  wives  and  children,  brought  us  on  our 
way,  till  we  were  out  of  the  city :  and  kneeling  down 

6  on  the  beach,  we  prayed,  and  bade  each  other  fare- 
well; and  we  went  on  board  the  ship,  but  they  re- 
turned home  again. 

7  And  when  we  had  finished  the  voyage  from  Tyre, 
we  arrived  at  Ptol 

8ren,  and    abode 
morrow  we  departed,  and  came  unto  Cses-a-re'a:  and 
entering  into  the  house  of  Phil'ip  the  evangelist,  who 

9  was  one  of  the  seven,  we  abode  with  him.  Now  this 
man  had  four  daughters,  virgins,  which  did  prophesy. 

10  And  as  we  tarried  there  'many  days,  there  came 
down  from  Ju-dse'a  a  certain  prophet,  named  Ag!a-bus. 

11  And  coming  to  us,  and  taking  Paul's  girdle,  he  bound 
his  own  feet  and  hands,  and  said,  Thus  saith  the 
Holy  Ghost,  So  shall  the  Jews  at  Je-ru'sa-lem  bind  the 
man  that  owneth  this  girdle,  and  shall  deliver  him 

12  into  the  hands  of  the  Gentiles.  And  when  we  heard 
these  things,  both  we  and  they  of  that  place  besought 

13  him  not  to  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  Then  Paul  answered. 
What  do  ye,  weeping  and  breaking  my  heart?  for  I 
am  ready  not  to  be  bound  only,  but  also  to  die  at 

14  Je-ru'sa-lem  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.  And 
when  he  would  not  be  persuaded,  we  ceased,  saying, 
The  will  of  the  Lord  be  done. 

15  And    after    these    days    we    'took  up   our  bag- 

16  gage,  and  went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem.  And  there  went 
with  us  also  certain  of  the  disciples  from  Cses-a-re'a,

and  brought  with  them  one  Mna'son  of  Cy'prus,  an  old  dis- 
ciple, with  whom  we  should  lodge. 

17  'And  when  we  were  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  brethren 
received  us  gladly. 

18  And  the  day  following  Paul  went  in  with  us  unto 
"James;  and  all  the  elders  were  present. 

19  And  when  he  had  saluted  them,  "he  declared  par- 
ticularly what  things  God  had  wrought  among  the  Gentiles 
°by  his  ministry. 

20  And  when  they  heard  it,  they  glorified  the  Lord,  and  said 
unto  him.  Thou  seest,  brother,  how  many  thousands  of  Jews 
there  are  which  believe ;  and  they  are  all  "zealous  of  the  law : 

21  And  they  are  informed  of  thee,  that  thou  teachest  all 
the  Jews  which  are  among  the  Gentiles  to  forsake  Mo'ses, 
saying  that  they  ought  not  to  circumcise  their  children, 
neither  to  walk  after  the  customs. 

22  What  is  it  therefore?  the  multitude  must  needs  come 
together :  for  they  will  hear  that  thou  art  come. 

23  Do  therefore  this  that  we  say  to  thee:  We  have  four 
men  which  have  a  vow  on  them ; 

24  Them  take,  and  purify  thyself  with  them,  and  be  at 
charges  with  them,  that  they  may  'shave  their  heads :  and 
all  may  know  that  those  things  whereof  they  were  informed 
concerning  thee,  are  nothing;  but  that  thou  thyself  also 
walkest  orderly,  and  keepest  the  law. 

25  As  touching  the  Gentiles  which  believe,  'we  have  writ- 
ten and  concluded  that  they  observe  no  such  thing,  save 
only  that  they  keep  themselves  from  things  offered  to  idols, 
and  from  blood,  and  from  strangled,  and  from  fornication. 

26  Then  Paul  took  the  men,  and  the  next  day  purifying 
himself  with  them,  'entered  into  the  temple,  'to  signify  the 
accomplishment  of  the  days  of  purification,  until  that  an 
offering  should  be  offered  for  every  one  of  them. 

27  And  when  the  seven  days  were  almost  ended,  "the 
Jews,  which  were  of  A'si-a,  when  they  saw  him  in  the  tem- 
ple, stirred  up  all  the  people,  and  ''laid  hands  on  him, 

28  Crying  out,  Men  of  Is'ra-el,  help:  This  is  the  man, 
"that  teacheth  all  men  every  where  against  the  people,  and 
the  law,  and  this  place :  and  further  brought  Greeks  also 
into  the  temple,  and  hath  polluted  this  holy  place, 

29  (For  they  had  seen  before  with  him  in  the  city  'Troph'- 
i-mus  an  E-phe'si-an,  whom  they  supposed  that  Paul  had 
brought  into  the  temple.) 

30  And  "all  the  city  was  moved,  and  the  people  ran  to- 
gether :  and  they  took  Paul  and  drew  him  out  of  the  tem- 
ple :  and  forthwith  the  doors  were  shut. 

31  And  as  they  went  about  to  kill  him,  tidings  came  unto 
the  chief  captain  of  the  band,  that  all  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  in  an 
uproar: 

32  ""Who  immediately  took  soldiers  and  centurions,  and 
ran  down  unto  them:  and  when  they  saw  the  chief  captain 
and  the  soldiers,  they  left  beating  of  Paul. 

33  Then  the  chief  captain  came  near,  and  took  him,  and 
'commanded  him  to  be  bound  with  two  chains;  and  de- 
manded who  he  was,  and  what  he  bad  done. 

34  And  some  cried  one  thing,  some  another,  among  the 
multitude :  and  when  he  could  not  know  the  certainty  for  the 
tumult,  he  commanded  him  to  be  carried  into  the  castle. 

35  And  when  he  came  upon  the  stairs,  so  it  was,  that  he 
was  borne  of  the  soldiers  for  the  violence  of  the  people. 

36  For  the  multitude  of  the  people  followed  after,  cryiug, 
■•Away  with  him. 

37  And  as  Paul  was  to  be  led  into  the  castle,  he  said  unto 
the  chief  captain,  May  I  speak  unto  thee?  Who  said.  Canst 
thou  speak  Greek  ? 

38  'Art  not  thou  that  E-gyp'tian,  which  before  these  days 
madest  an  uproar,  and  leddest  out  into  the  wilderness  four 
thousand  men  that  were  murderers? 

39  But  Paul  said, -^  I  am  a  man  tentcn  am  a  Jew  of  Tar'sus, 


bringing  with  them  one  Mna'son  of  Cy'prus,  an  early 
disciple,  with  whom  we  should  lodge. 

17  And  when  we  were  come  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  breth- 

18  ren  received  us  gladly.  And  the  day  following  Paul 
went  in  with  us  unto  James ;  and  all  the  elders  were 

19  present.  And  when  he  had  saluted  them,  he  re- 
hearsed one  by  one  the  things  which  God  had  wrought 

20  among  the  Gentiles  by  his  ministry.  And  they,  when 
they  heard  it,  glorified  God ;  and  they  said  unto  him, 
Thou  seest,  brother,  how  many  'thousands  there  are 
among  the  Jews  of  them  which  have  believed;  and 

21  they  are  all  zealous  for  the  law :  and  they  have  been 
informed  concerning  thee,  that  thou  teachest  all  the 
Jews  which  are  among  the  Gentiles  to  forsake  Mo'ses, 
telling  them  not  to  circumcise  their  children,  neither 

22 to  walk  after  the  customs.     What  is  it  therefore? 

23  they  will  certainly  hear  that  thou  art  come.  Do 
therefore  this  that  we  say  to  thee :  We  have  four  men 

24  which  have  a  vow  on  them ;  these  take,  and  purify 
thyself  with  them,  and  be  at  charges  for  them,  that 
they  may  shave  their  heads :  and  all  shall  know  that 
there  is  no  truth  in  the  things  whereof  they  have 
been  informed  concerning  thee;  but  that  thou  thy 

25  self  also  walkest  orderly,  keeping  the  law.  But  as 
touching  the  Gentiles  which  have  believed,  we  ^wrote, 
giving  judgement  that  they  should  keep  themselves 
from  things  sacrificed  to  idols,  and  from  blood,  and 

26  from  what  is  strangled,  and  from  fornication.    Then 
Paul  Hook  the  men,  and  the  next  day  purifying  him 
self  with  them  went  into  the  temple,  declaring  the 
fulfilment  of  the  days  of  purification,  until  the  offer- 
ing was  offered  for  every  one  of  them. 

27  And  when  the  seven  days  were  almost  completed, 
the  Jews  from  A'si-a,  when  they  saw  him  in  the  tem- 
ple, stirred  up  all  the  multitude,  and  laid  hands  on 

28  him,  crying  out.  Men  of  Is'ra-el,  help :  This  is  the 
man,  that  teacheth  all  men  everywhere  against  the 
people,  and  the  law,  and  this  place:  and  moreover 
he  brought  Greeks  also  into  the  temple,  and  hath 

29  defiled  this  holy  place.  For  they  had  before  seen 
with  him  in  the  city  Troph'i-m  us  the  E-phe'si-an,  whom 
they  supposed  that  Paul  had  brought  into  the  temple. 

30  And  all  the  city  was  moved,  and  the  people  ran  to- 
gether: and  they  laid  h^ld  on  Paul,  and  dragged 
him  out  of  the  temple :  .*nd  straightway  the  doors 

31  were  shut.  And  as  they  were  seeking  to  kill  him, 
tidings  came  up  to  the  *chief  captain  of  the  'band, 

32  that  all  Je-ru'sa-lem  was  in  confusion.  And  forth- 
with he  took  soldiers  and  centurions,  and  ran  down 
upon  them :  and  they,  when  they  saw  the  chief  cajtaiu 

33  and  the  soldiers,  left  off  beating  Paul.  Then  the 
chief  captain  came  near,  and  laid  hold  on  him,  and 
commanded  him  to  be  bound  with  two  chains;  and 

34  inquired  who  he  was,  and  what  he  had  done.  And 
some  shouted  one  thing,  some  another,  among  the 
crowd:  and  when  he  could  not  know  the  certainty 
for  the  uproar,  he  commanded  him  to  be  brought  into 

35  the  castle.  And  when  he  came  upon  the  stairs,  so 
it  was,  that  he  was  borne  of  the  soldiers  for  the  vio- 

36  lence  of  the  crowd ;  for  the  multitude  of  the  people 
followed  after,  crying  out.  Away  with  him. 

37  And  as  Paul  was  about  to  be  brought  into  thecas- 
tle,  he  saith  unto  the  chief  captain.  May  I  say  some- 
thing unto  thee?     And   he  said.  Dost  thou  know 

38 Greek?  Art  thou  not  then  the  E-gyp'tian,  which 
before  these  days  stirred  up  to  sedition  and  led  out 
into  the  wilderness   the   four  thousand  men  of  the 

39  Assassins  ?    But  Paul  said,  I  am  a  Jew,  of  Tar'sus

thee,  suffer  me  to  speak  unto  the  people. 

40  And  when  he  had  given  him  license,  Paul  stood  on  the 
stairs,  and  "beckoned  with  the  hand  unto  the  people.  And  when 
there  was  made  a  great  silence,  he  spake  unto  them  in  the  He'- 
brew  tongue,  saying, 

CHARTER    XX  1 1. 


Paul  declat-eth  how  he  was  converted. 


11 /TEN,  "brethren,  and  fathers,  hear  ye  my  defence  which 


make  now  unto  you. 

2  (And  when  they  heard  that  he  spake  in  the  He'brew 
tongue  to  them,  they  kept  the  more  silence :   and  he  saith,) 

3  'I  am  verily  a  man  which  am  a  Jew,  born  in  Tar'sus,  a 
city  in  Ci-li'ci-a,  yet  brought  up  in  this  city  ""at  the  feet  of 
''Ga-ma'li-el,  and  taught  'according  to  the  perfect  manner  of 
the  law  of  the  fathers,  and  -'^was  zealous  toward  God,  "as  ye 
all  are  this  day. 

4  *And  I  persecuted  this  way  unto  the  death,  binding  and 
delivering  into  prisons  both  men  and  women. 

5  As  also  the  high  priest  doth  bear  me  witness,  and  'all 
the  estate  of  the  elders:  *from  whom  also  I  received  letters 
unto  the  brethren,  and  went  to  Da-mas'cus,  to  bring  them, 
which  were  there  bound  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem,  for  to  be  punished. 

6  And  'it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  I  made  my  journey,  and 
was  come  nigh  unto  Da-mas'cus  about  noon,  suddenly  there 
shone  from  heaven,  a  great  light  round  about  me. 

7  And  I  fell  unto  the  ground,  and  heard  a  voice  saying 
unto  me,  Saul,  Saul,  wliy  persecutest  thou  me? 

8  And  I  answered.  Who  art  thou.  Lord?  And  he  said 
unto  me,  I  am  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  whom  thou   persecutest. 

9  And  '"they  that  were  with  me  saw  indeed  the  light,and  were 
afraid  ;  but  they  heard  not  the  voice  of  him  that  spake  to  me. 

10  And  I  said,  What  shall  I  do.  Lord?  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  Arise,  and  go  into  Da-mas'cus,  and  there  it  shall 
be  told  thee  of  all  things  which  are  appointed  for  thee  to  do. 

11  And  when  I  could  not  see  for  the  glory  of  that  light, 
being  led  by  the  hand  of  them  that  were  with  me,  I  came 
into  Da-mas'cus. 

12  And  "one  An-a-ni'a.s,  a  devout  man  according  to  the  law, 
"having  a  good  report  of  all  the  ''Jews  which  dwelt  there, 

13  Came  unto  me,  and  stood,  and  said  unto  me.  Brother  Saul, 
receive  thy  sight.     And  the  same  hour  I  looked  up  upon  him. 

14  And  he  said,  'The  God  of  our  fathers  ''hath  chosen 
thee,  that  thou  shouldest  know  his  will,  and  'see  'that  Just 
One,  and  "shouldest  hear  the  voice  of  his  mouth. 

15  ''For  thou  shalt  be  his  witness  unto  all  men  of  "what 
thou  hast  seen  and  heard. 

16  And  now  why  tarrie.st  thou?  arise,  and  be  baptized, 
"and  wash  away  thy  sins,  "calling  on  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

17  And  'it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  I  was  come  again  to  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  even  while  I  prayed  in  the  temple,  I  was  in  a  trance; 

18  And  "saw  him  saying  unto  me,  ''Make  haste,  and  get 
thee  quickly  out  of  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  for  they  will  not  receive 
thy  testimony  concerning  me. 

19  And  I  said.  Lord,  'they  know  that  I  imprisoned  and 
■Hbeat  in  every  synagogue  them  that  believed  on  thee : 

20  "And  when  the  blood  of  thy  martyr  Ste'phen  was  shed, 
I  also  was  standing  by,  and  'consenting  unto  his  death,  and 
kept  the  raiment  of  them  that  slew  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  me.  Depart :  'for  I  will  send  thee  far 
hence  unto  the  Gentiles. 

22  And  they  gave  him  audience  unto  this  word,  and  then 
lifted  up  their  voices,  and  said,  *Away  with  such  a  fellow 
from  the  earth :  for  it  is  not  fit  that  'he  should  live. 

23  And  as  they  cried  out,  and  cast  off  their  clothes,  and 
threw  dust  into  the  air, 

24  The  chief  captain  commanded  him  to  be  brought  into 
the  castle,  and  bade  that  he  should  be  examined  by  scourging ; 
that  he  might  know  wherefore  they  cried  so  against  him. 


in  Ci-li'ci-a,  a  citizen  of  no  mean  city :  and  I  beseech 
40  thee,  give  me  leave  to  speak  unto  the  people.  And 
when  he  had  given  him  leave,  Paul,  standing  on  the 
stairs,  beckoned  with  the  hand  unto  the  people;  and 
when  there  was  made  a  great  silence,  he  spake  unto 
them  in  the  He'brew  language,  saying, 

'H^  Brethren  and  fathers,  hear  ye  the  defence  which 
I  now  make  unto  you. 

2  And  when  they  heard  that  he  spake  unto  them  in 
the  He'brew  language,  they  were  the  more  quiet: 
and  he  saith, 

3  I  am  a  Jew,  born  in  Tar'sus  of  Ci-li'ci-a,  but  brought 
up  in  this  city,  at  the  feet  of  Ga-ma'li-el,  instructed 
according  to  the  strict  manner  of  the  law  of  our 
fathers,  being  zealous  for  God,  even  as  ye  all  are  this 

4  day :  and  I  persecuted  this  Way  unto  the  death, 
binding  and  delivering  into  prisons  both  men  and 

5  women.  As  also  the  high  priest  doth  bear  me  wit- 
ness, and  all  the  estate  of  the  elders :  from  whom 
also  I  received  letters  unto  the  brethren,  and  jour- 
neyed to  Da-mas'cus,  to  bring  them  also  which  were 
there  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem  in  bonds,  for  to  be  punished. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  I  made  my  journey, 
and  drew  nigh  unto  Da-mas'cus,  about  noon,  sud- 
denly there  shone  from  heaven  a  great  light  round 

7  about  me.  And  I  fell  unto  the  ground,  and  heard  a 
voice  saying  unto  me,   Saul,  Saul,    why   persecutest 

8 thou  me?  And  I  answered.  Who  art  thou,  Lord? 
And  he  said  unto  me,  I  am  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth,  whom 

9  thou  persecutest.  And  they  that  were  with  me  be- 
held indeed  the  light,  but  they  heard  not  the  voice 

10  of  him  that  spake  to  me.  And  I  said,  AVhat  shall  I 
do,  Lord  ?  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Arise,  and 
go  into  Da-mas'cus;  and  there  it  shall  be  told  thee 
of  all  things  which  are  appointed  for  thee  to    do. 

11  And  when  I  could  not  see  for  the  glory  of  that  light, 
being  led  by  the  hand  of  them  that  were   with  me, 

121  came  into  Da-mas'cus.  And  one  An-a-ni'as,  a  devout 
man  according  to  the  law,  well  reported  of  by  all  the 

13  Jews  that  dwelt  there,  came  unto  me,  and  standing 
by  me  said  unto  me.  Brother  Saul,  receive  thy  sight. 

14  And  in  that  very  hour  I  'looked  up  on  him.  And 
he  said,The  God  of  our  fathers  hath  appointed  thee 
to  know  his  will,  and  to  see  the  Righteous  One,  and 

15  to  hear  a  voice  from  his  mouth.  For  thou  shalt  be 
a  witness  for  him  unto  all  men  of  what  thou  hast 

16 seen  and  heard.  And  now  why  tarriest  thou?  arise, 
and  be  baptized,  and  wash  away  thy  sins,  calling  on 

17  his  name.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  I  had 
returned  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  while  I  prayed  in  the 

18  temple,  I  fell  into  a  trance,  and  saw  him  saying  unto 
me.  Make  haste,  and  get  thee  quickly  out  of  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  :  because  they  will  not  receive  of  thee  testimony 

19  concerning  me.  And  I  said.  Lord,  they  themselves 
know  that  I  imprisoned  and  beat  in  every  synagogue 

20  them  that  believed  on  thee :  and  when  the  blood  of 
Ste'phen  thy  witness  was  shed,  I  also  was  standing 
by,  and  consenting,  and  keeping  the  garments    of 

21  them  that  slew  him.  And  he  said  unto  me.  Depart : 
for  I  will  send  thee  forth  far  hence  unto  the  Gentiles. 

22  And  they  gave  him  audience  unto  this  word;  and 
they  lifted  up  their  voice,  and  sJaid,  Away  with  such 
a  fellow  from  the  earth :   for  it  is  not  fit  that  he  should 

23  live.     And  as  they  cried  out,  and  threw  off  their  gar- 

24  ments,  and  cast  dust  into  the  air,  the  chief  captain  com- 
manded him  to  be  brought  into  the  castle,  bidding  that 
he  should  be  examined  by  scourging,  that  he  might 
know  for  what  cause  they  so  shouted  against  him.

25  And  as  they  bound  him  with  thongs,  Paul  said  unto  the 
centurion  that  stood  by,  "Is  it  lawful  for  you  to  scourge  a 
man  that  is  a  Eo'man,  and  uncondemned  ? 

26  When  the  centurion  beard  that,  he  went  and  told  the 
chief  captain,  saying,  Take  heed  what  thou  doest;  for  this 
man  is  a  Ro'man. 

27  Then  the  chief  captain  came,  and  said  unto  him.  Tell 
me,  art  thou  a  Ro'man?     He  said.  Yea. 

28  And  the  chief  captain  answered.  With  a  great  sum  ob- 
tained I  this  freedom.    And  Paul  said.  But  I  was  free  born. 

29  Then  straightway  they  departed  from  him  which  should 
have  II  examined  him:  and  the  chief  captain  also  was  afraid, 
after  he  knew  that  he  was  a  Ro'man,  and  because  he  had 
bound  him. 

30  On  the  morrow,  because  he  would  have  known  the  cer- 
tainty wherefore  he  was  accused  of  the  Jews,  he  loosed  him 
from  his  bands,  and  commanded  the  chief  priests  and  all 
their  council  to  appear,  and  brought  Paul  down,  and  set  him 
before  them. 

CHAPTER    XXIII. 

Paui  pieadeth  his  cause. 

AND   Paul,  ecrnestly  beholding  the  council,  said.  Men 
and  brethren,  °I  have  lived  in  all  good  conscience  be- 
fore God  until  this  day. 

2  And  the  high  priest  An-a-ni'as  commanded  them  that 
stood  by  him  ho  smite  him  on  the  mouth. 

3  Tiien  said  Paul  unto  him,  God  shall  smite  thee,  thou 
whited  wall:  for  sittest  thou  to  judge  me  after  the  law,  and 
"commandest  me  to  be  smitten  contrary  to  the  law  ? 

4  And  they  that  stood  by  said,  Revilest  thou  God's  high 
priest  ? 

5  Then  said  Paul,  ''I  wist  not,  brethren,  that  he  was  the 
high  priest :  for  it  is  written,  'Thou  shalt  not  speak  evil  of 
the  ruler  of  thy  people. 

6  But  when  Paul  perceived  that  the  one  part  were  Sad'du- 
cees,  and  the  other  Phar'i-sees,  he  cried  out  in  the  council. 
Men  and  brethren,-'^Iam  a  Phar'i-.see,the  son  ofa  Phar'i-see:  "of 
the  hope  and  resurrection  of  the  dead  I  am  called  in  question. 

7  And  when  he  had  so  said,  there  arose  a  dissension 
between  the  Phar'i-sees  and  the  Sad'du-cees :  and  the  mul- 
titude was  divided. 

8  'For  the  Sad'du-cees  say  that  there  is  no  resurrection, 
neither  angel,  nor  spirit:  but  the  Phar'i-sees  confess  both. 

9  And  there  arose  a  great  cry :  and  the  scribes  that  were 
of  the  Phar'i-sees'  part  arose,  and  strove,  saying,  'We  find 
no  evil  in  this  man :  but  *if  a  spirit  or  an  angel  hath  spoken 
to  him,  'let  us  not  figlit  against  God. 

10  And  when  there  arose  a  great  dissension,  the  chief 
captain,  fearing  lest  Paul  should  have  been  pulled  in  pieces 
of  them,  commanded  the  soldiers  to  go  down,  and  to  take  him 
by  force  from  among  them,  and  to  bring  him  into  tiie  castle. 

11  And  "the  night  following  the  Lord  stood  by  him,  and 
said.  Be  of  good  cheer,  Paul :  for  as  thou  hast  testified  of  me 
in  Je-ru'sa-lem,  so  must  thou  bear  witness  also  at  Rome. 

12  And  when  it  was  day,  "certain  of  the  Jews  banded  to- 
gether, and  bound  themselves  ||  under  a  curse,  saying,  That 
they  would  neither  eat  nor  drink  till  they  had  killed  Paul, 

13  And  they  were  more  than  forty  which  had  made  this 
conspiracy. 

14  And  they  came  to  the  chief  priests  and  elders,  and 
said.  We  have  bound  ourselves  under  a  great  curse,  that  we 
will  eat  nothing  until  we  have  slain  Paul. 

.  15  Now  therefore  ye  with  the  council  signify  to  the  chief 
captain  that  he  bring  him  down  unto  you  to-morrow,  as 
though  ye  would  inquire  something  more  perfectly  concern- 
ing him  :  and  we,  or  ever  he  come  near,  are  ready  to  kill  him. 

16  And  when  Paul's  sister's  son  heard  of  their  lying  in 
wait,  he  went  and  entered  into  the  castle,  and  told  Paul. 

17  Then  Paul  called  one  of  the  centurions  unto  him,  and 


25  And  when  they  had  tied  him  up  'with  the  thongs, 
Paul  said  unto  the  centurion  that  stood  by.  Is  it 
lawful  for  you  to  scourge  a   man   that  is  a  Ro'man, 

26 and  uncondemned?  And  when  the  centurion  heard 
it,  he  went  to  the  chief  captain,  and  told  him,  say- 
ing. What  art  thou  about  to   do?  for   this  man   is 

27  a  Ro'man.  And  the  chief  captain  came,  and  said 
unto  him.  Tell   me,  art   thou  a   Ro'man  ?     And    he 

28  said.  Yea.  And  the  chief  captain  answered,  With 
a  great  sum  obtained  I  this  citizenship.     And  Paul 

29  said.  But  I  am  a  Ro'man  born.  They  then  which 
were  about  to  examine  him  straightway  departed 
from  him :  and  the  chief  captain  also  was  afraid, 
when  he  knew  that  he  was  a  Ro'man,  and  because 
he  had  bound  him. 

30  But  on  the  morrow,  desiring  to  know  the  cer- 
tainty, wherefore  he  was  accused  of  the  Jews,  he 
loosed  him,  and  commanded  the  chief  priests  and 
all  the  council  to  come  together,  and  brought  Paul 
down,  and  set  him  before  them. 

^O  And  Paul,  looking  stedfastly  on  the  council,  said. 
Brethren,  I  have  lived  before  God  in  all  good  con- 

2  science  until  this  day.  And  the  high  priest  An-a-ni'as 
commanded  them  that  stood  by  him  to   smite   him 

3  on  the  mouth.  Then  said  Paul  unto  him,  God  shall 
smite  thee,  thou  whited  wall :  and  sittest  thou  to 
judge  me  according  to  the  law,  and  commandest  me 

4 to  be  smitten  contrary  to  the  law?  And  they  that 
stood    by    said,    Revilest  thou  God's   high  priest? 

5  And  Paul  said,  I  wist  not,  brethren,  that  he  was  high 
priest:  for  it  was  written.  Thou  shalt  not  speak  evil 

6  of  a  ruler  of  thy  people.  But  when  Paul  perceived 
that  the  one  part  were  Sad'du-cees,  and  the  other  Phar'i- 
sees,  he  cried  out  in  the  council.  Brethren,  I  am  a 
Phar'i-see,  a  son  of  Phar'i-sees :  touching  the  hope  and 
resurrection  of  the  dead   I  am  called  in    question. 

7  And  when  he  had  so  said,  there  arose  a  dissension 
between  the  Phar'i-sees  and  Sad'du-cees :  and  the  as- 

8sembly  was  divided.  For  the  Sad'du-cees  say  that 
there  is  no  resurrection,  neither  angel,  nor  spirit: 

9but  the  Phar'i-sees  confess  both.  And  there  arose  a 
great  clamor :  and  some  of  the  scribes  of  the  Phar'i- 
sees'  part  stood  up,  and  strove,  saying.  We  find  no 
evil  in  this  man :  and  what  if  a  spirit  hath  spoken 
lOto  him,  or  an  angel?  And  when  there  arose  a  great 
dissension,  the  chief  captain,  fearing  lest  Paul  should 
be  torn  in  pieces  by  them,  commanded  the  soldiers 
to  go  down  and  take  him  by  force  from  among  them, 
and  bring  him  into  the  castle. 

11  And  the  night  following  the  Lord  stood  by  him, 
and  said,  Be  of  good  cheer:  for  as  thou  hast  testified 
concerning  me  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  so  must  thou  bear 
witness  also  at  Rome. 

12  And  when  it  was  day,  the  Jews  banded  together, 
and  bound  themselves  under  a  curse,  saying  that 
they    would    neither   eat   nor   drink    till   they    had 

13killed  Paul.  And  they  were  more  than  forty  which 
14  made  this  conspiracy.  And  they  came  to  the  chief 
priests  and  the  elders,  and  said.  We  have  bound 
ourselves  under  a  great  curse,  to  taste  nothing  uu- 
15til  we  have  killed  Paul.  Now  therefore  do  ye  with 
the  council  signify  to  the  chief  captain  that  he 
bring  him  down  unto  you,  as  though  ye  would 
judge  of  his  case  more  exactly  :  and  we,  or  ever  he 

16  come  near,  are  ready  to  slay  him.  But  Paul's  sis- 
ter's son  heard  of  their  lying  in  wait,  ^and  he  came 

17  and  entered  into  the  ca.stle,  and  told  Paul.  And 
Paul  called   unto  him  one  of  the   centurions,  and

said,  Bring  this  young  man  unto  the  chief  captain:  for  he 
hath  a  certain  thing  to  tell  him. 

18  So  he  took  him,  and  brought  him  to  the  chief  captain, 
and  said,  Paul  the  prisoner  called  me  unto  him,  and  prayed 
me  to  bring  this  young  man  unto  thee,  who  hath  something 
to  say  unto  thee. 

19  Then  the  chief  captain  took  him  by  the  hand,  and  went 
with  him  aside  privately,  and  asked  him,  What  is  that  thou 
hast  to  tell  me  ? 

20  And  he  said,  "The  Jews  have  agreed  to  desire  thee  that 
thou  wouldest  bring  down  Paul  to-morrow  into  the  council, 
as  though  they  would  inquire  somewhat  of  him  more  perfectly. 

21  But  do  not  thou  yield  unto  them:  for  there  lie  in  wait 
for  him  of  them  more  than  forty  men,  which  have  bound 
themselves  with  an  oath,  that  they  will  neither  eat  nor 
drink  till  they  have  killed  him:  and  now  are  they  ready, 
looking  for  a  promise  from  thee. 

22  So  the  chief  captain  then  let  the  young  man  depart,  and 
charged  him,  See  thou  tell  no  man  that  thou  hast  shewed 
these  things  to  me. 

23  And  he  called  unto  hitn  two  centurions,  saying,  Make 
ready  two  hundred  soldiers  to  go  to  Ces-a-re'a,  and  horse- 
men threescore  and  ten,  and  spearmen  two  hundred,  at  the 
third  hour  of  the  night; 

24  And  provide  them  beasts,  that  they  may  set  Paul  on, 
and  bring  him  safe  unto  Fe'lix  the  governor. 

25  And  he  wrote  a  letter  after  this  manner : 

26  Clau'di-us  Lys'i-as  unto  the  most  excellent  governor 
Fe'lix  sendeth  greeting. 

27  "This  man  was  taken  of  the  Jews,  and  should  have 
been  killed  of  them :  then  came  I  with  an  army  and  rescued 
him,  having  understood  that  he  was  a  Ro'man. 

28  'And  when  I  would  have  known  the  cause  wherefore 
they  accused  him,  I  brought  him  forth  into  their  council : 

29  "Whom  I  perceived  to  be  accused  ''of  questions  of  their 
law,  'but  to  have  nothing  laid  to  his  charge  worthy  of  death 
or  of  bonds. 

30  And  'when  it  was  told  me  how  that  the  Jews  laid  wait 
for  the  man,  I  sent  straightway  to  thee,  and  "gave  command- 
ment to  his  accusers  also  to  say  before  thee  what  they  had 
against  him.     Farewell. 

31  Then  the  soldiers,  as  it  was  commanded  them,  took 
Paul,  and  brought  him  by  night  to  An-tip'a-tris. 

32  On  the  morrow  they  left  the  horsemen  to  go  with  him, 
and  returned  to  the  castle: 

33  Who,  when  they  came  to  Ces-a-re'a,  and  delivered  the 
epistle  to  the  governor,  presented  Paul  also  before  him. 

34  And  when  the  governor  had  read  the  letter,  he  asked  of 
what  province  he  was.  And  when  he  understood  that  he 
teas  of '^Ci-li'ci-a; 

35  "I  will  hear  thee,  said  he,  when  thine  accusers  are  also 
come.  And  he  commanded  him  to  be  kept  in  'Her'od's 
judgment  hall. 

CHAPTER  XXIV 

Paul  accused  by  TertuUus,  and  his  defence. 

A  ND  after  "five  days  ''An-a-ni'as  the  high  priest  descended 
xx  with  the  elders,  and  with  a  certain  orator  named  Ter- 
tul'lus,  who  informed  the  governor  against  Paul. 

2  And  whenhewascalledforth,Ter-tul'insbegan  to  accuse  Aim, 
saying,  Seeing  that  by  thee  we  enjoy  great  quietness,  and  that 
very  worthy  deeds  are  done  unto  this  nation  by  thy  providence, 

3  We  accept  it  always,  and  in  all  places,  most  noble  Fe'lix, 
with  all  thankfulness. 

4  Notwithstanding,  that  I  be  not  turther  tedious  unto  thee, 
I  pray  thee  that  thou  wouldest  hear  us  of  thy  clemency 
a  few  words. 

5  "For  we  have  found  this  man  a  pestilent /e/fow,  and  a 
mover  of  sedition  among  all  the  Jews  throughout  the  world, 
and  a  ringleader  of  the  sect  of  the  Naz'a-renes : 


said.  Bring  this  young  man  unto  the  chief  captain : 

18  for  he  hath  something  to  tell  him.  So  he  took 
him,  and  brought  him  to  the  chief  captain,  and 
saith,  Paul  the  prisoner  called  me  unto  him,  and 
asked  me  to  bring  this  young   man   unto  thee,  who 

19  hath  something  to  say  to  thee.  And  the  chief  cap- 
tain took  him  by  the  hand,  and  going  aside  asked 
him  privately.  What  is  that  thou  hast  to  tell  me? 

20  And  Tie  said.  The  Jews  have  agreed  to  ask  thee 
to  bring  down  Paul  to-morrow  unto  the  council, 
as    though   thou  wouldest  inquire  somewhat    more 

21  exactly  concerning  him.  Do  not  thou  therefore 
yield  unto  them :  for  there  lie  in  wait  for  him  of 
them  more  than  forty  men,  which  have  bound  them- 
selves under  a  curse,  neither  to  eat  nor  to  drink  till 
they  have  slain  him :  and  now  are  they  ready,  look- 

22  ing  for  the  promise  from  thee.  So  the  chief  captain 
let  the  young  man  go,  charging  him.  Tell  no  man 

23  that  thou  hast  signified  these  things  to  me.  And  he 
called  unto  him  two  of  the  centurions,  and  said, 
Make  ready  two  hundred  soldiers  to  go  as  far  as 
Cses-a-re'a,  and  horsemen  threescore  and  ten,  and 
spearmen    two  hundred,    at   the  third  hour   of  the 

24 night:  and  he  bade  them  provide  beasts,  that  they 
might  set  Paul  thereon,  and    bring  him    safe   unto 

25  Fe'lix  the  governor.  And  he  wrote  a  letter  after 
this  form : 

26  Clau'di-us  Lys'i-as  unto  the  most  excellent  governor 

27  Fe'lix,  greeting.  This  man  was  seized  by  the  Jews, 
and  was  about  to  be  slain  of  them,  when  I  came 
upon  them  with  the  soldiers,  and  ^rescued  him,  hav- 

28  ing  learned  that  he  was  a  Eo'man.  And  desiring  to 
know  the  cause  wherefore  they  accused  him,  'I  brought 

29 him  down  unto  their  council:  whom  I  found  to  be 
accused  about  questions  of  their  law,  but  to  have 
nothing  laid  to  his  charge   worthy  of  death  or  of 

30  bonds.  And  M'hen  it  was  shewn  to  me  that  there 
would  be  a  plot  against  the  man,  I  sent  him  to  thee 
forthwith,  charging  his  accusers  also  to  speak  against 
him  before  thee.^ 

31  So  the  soldiers,  as  it  was  commanded  them,  took 

32  Paul,  and  brought  him  by  night  to  An-tip'a-tris.  But 
on  the  morrow  they  left  the  horsemen  to  go  with 

33 him,  and  returned  to  the  castle:  and  they,  when 
they  came  to  Caes-a-re'a,  and  delivered  the  letter  to 

34  the  governor,  presented  Paul  also  before  him.  And 
when  he  had  read  it,  he  asked  of  what  province  he  was; 

35  and  when  he  understood  that  he  was  of  Ci-li'ci-a,  I 
will  hear  thy  cause,  said  he,  when  thine  accusers 
also  are  come :  and  he  commanded  him  to  be  kept 
in  Her'od's  'palace. 

^^  And  after  five  days  the  high  priest  An-a-ni'as  came 
down  with  certain  elders,  and  with  an  orator,  one 
Ter-tul'lus ;  and  they  informed  the  governor  against 

2  Paul.  And  when  he  was  called,  Ter-tul'lus  began  to 
accuse  him,  saying, 

Seeing  that  by  thee  we  enjoy  much    peace,  and 
that  by  thy  providence  evils  are  corrected  for  this 

3  nation,  we  accept  it  in  all  ways  and  in  all  places, 

4  most  excellent  Fe'lix  with  all  thankfulness.  But, 
that  I  be  not  further  tedious  unto  thee,  I  intreatthee 

5  to  hear  us  of  thy  clemency  a  few  words.  For  we 
have  found  this  man  a  pestilent  fellow,  and  a  mover 
of  insurrections  among  all  the  Jews  throughout  Hhe 
world,  and  a  ringleader  of  the  sect  of  the  Naz'a-renes :

6  ''Who  also  hath  gone  about  to  profiine  the  temple :  whom 
we  took,  and  would  'have  judged  according  to  our  law. 

7  TBut  the  chief  captain  Lys'i-as  came  upon  us,  and  with 
great  violence  took  him  away  out  of  our  hands, 

8  "Commanding  his  accusers  to  come  unto  thee :  by  ex- 
amining of  whom  thyself  mayest  take  knowledge  of  all  these 
things,  whereof  we  accuse  him. 

9  And  the  Jews  also  assented,  saying  that  these  things 
were  so. 

10  Then  Paul,  after  that  the  governor  had  beckoned  unto 
him  to  speak,  answered.  Forasmuch  as  I  know  that  thou 
hast  been  of  many  years  a  judge  unto  this  nation,  I  do  the 
more  cheerfully  answer  for  myself: 

11  Because  that  thou  mayest  understand,  that  there  are  yet 
but  twelve  days  since  I  went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  'for  to  worship. 

12  'And  they  neither  found  me  in  the  temple  disputing 
with  any  man,  neither  raising  up  the  people,  neither  in  the 
synagogues,  nor  in  the  city : 

13  Neither  can  they  prove  the  things  whereof  they  now 
accuse  me. 

14  ButthisI  confessunto  thee,thatafter*the  way  which  they 
call  heresy,  so  worship  I  the  'God  of  my  fathers,  believing 
all  things  which  are  written  in  ""the  law  and  in  the  prophets  : 

15  And  "have  hope  toward  God,  which  they  themselves 
also  allow,  "that  there  shall  be  a  resurrection  of  the  dead, 
both  of  the  just  and  unjust. 

16  And  "herein  do  I  exercise  myself,  to  have  always  a 
conscience  void  of  offence  toward  God,  and  toward  men. 

17  Now,  after  many  years  'I  came  to  bring  alms  to  my 
nation,  and  offerings. 

18  ""Whereupon  certain  Jews  from  A'si-a  found  me  purified 
in  the  temple,  neither  with  multitude,  nor  with  tumult. 

19  'Who  ought  to  have  been  here  before  thee,  and  object, 
if  they  had  aught  against  me. 

20  Or  else  let  these  same  here  say,  if  they  have  found  any 
evil  doing  in  me,  while  I  stood  before  the  council, 

21  Except  it  be  for  this  one  voice,  that  I  cried,  standing 
among  them,  'Touching  the  resurrection  of  the  dead  I  am 
called  in  question  by  you  this  day. 

22  And  when  Fe'lix  heard  these  things,  having  more  per- 
fect knowledge  of  that  way,  he  deferred  them,  and  said, 
When  "Lys'i-as  the  chief  captain  shall  come  down,  I  will 
know  the  uttermost  of  your  matter. 

23  And  he  commanded  a  centurion  to  keep  Paul,  and  to 
let  him  have  liberty,  and  "^that  he  should  forbid  none  of  his 
acquaintance  to  minister  or  come  unto  him. 

24  And  after  certain  days,  when  Fe'lix  came  with  his  wife 
Dru-sil'la,  which  was  a  Jew'ess,  he  sent  for  Paul,  and  heard 
him  concerning  the  faith  in  Christ. 

25  And  as  he  reasoned  of  righteousness,  temperance,  and 
judgment  to  come,  Fe'lix  trembled  and  answered.  Go  thy 
way  for  this  time;  when  I  have  a  convenient  season,  I  will 
call  for  thee. 

26  He  hoped  also  that  "money  should  have  been  given 
him  of  Paul,  that  he  might  loose  him :  wherefore  he  sent 
for  him  the  oftener,  and  communed  with  him. 

27  But  after  two  years  Por'ci-us  Fes'tus  came  into  Fe'lix' 
room :  and  Fe'lix,  'willing  to  shew  the  Jews  a  pleasure,  left 
Paul  bound. 

CHAPTER   XXV. 

Paul  accused  before  Fesius. 

NOW  when   Fes'tus  was  come   into  the  province,  after 
three  days  he  ascended  from  Ces-a-re'a  to  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

2  "Then  the  high  priest  and  the  chief  of  the  Jews  informed 
him  against  Paul,  and  besought  him, 

3  And  desired  favour  against  him,  that  he  would  send  for 
him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  ""laying  wait  in  the  way  to  kill  him. 

4  But  Fes'tus  answered,  that  Paul  should  be  kept  at  Ces- 
a-re'a,  and  that  he  himself  would  depart  shortly  thither. 


6 who  moreover  assayed  to  profiine  the  temple;  on 

8  whom  also  we  laid  hold  •}  from  whom  thou  wilt  be 
able,  by  examining  him  thyself,  to  take  knowledge 

9  of  all  these  things,  whereof  we  accuse  him.  And 
the  Jews  also  joined  in  the  charge,  affirming  that 
these  things  were  so. 

10     And  when  the  governor  had  beckoned  unto  him 

to  speak,  Paul  answered, 

Forasmuch  as  I  know  that  thou  hast  been  of  many 

years  a  judge  unto  this  nation,  I  do  cheerfully  make 
limy  defence:  seeing  that  thou  canst  take  knowledge, 

that  it  is  not  more  than  twelve  days  since  I  went  up 

12  to  worship  at  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  neither  in  the  temple 
did  they  find  me  disputing  with  any  man  or  stirring 
up  a  crowd,  nor  in  the  synagogues,  nor  in  the  city. 

13  Neither  can  they  prove  to  thee  the  things  whereof 

14  they  now  accuse  me.  But  this  I  confess  unto  thee, 
that  after  the  Way  which  they  call  ^a  sect,  so  serve 
I  the  God  of  our  fathers,  believing  all  things  which 
are  according  to  the  law,  and  which  are  written  in 

15 the  prophets:  having  hope  toward  God,  which  these 
also  themselves  ^look  for,  that  there  shall  be  a  resur 

16  rection  both  of  the  just  and  unjust.  Herein  do 
I  also  exercise  myself  to  have  a  conscience  void  of 

17  offence  toward  God  and  men  alway.  Now  after 
*many  years  I  came  to  bring  alms  to  my  nation,  and 

18 offerings:  'amidst  which  they  found  me  purified  in 
the  temple,  with  no  crowd,  nor  yet  with  tumult :  but 

\9  there  were  certain  Jews  from  A'si-a — who  ought  to 
have  been  here  before  thee,  and  to  make  accusation, 

20  if  they  had  aught  against  me.  Or  else  let  these  men 
themselves  say  what  wrong-doing  they  found,  when 

21 1  stood  before  the  council,  except  it  be  for  this  one 
voice,  that  I  cried  standing  among  them.  Touching 
the  resurrection  of  the  dead  I  am  called  in  question 
before  you  this  day. 

22  But  Fe'lix,  having  more  exact  knowledge  concern- 
in  the  Way,  deferred  them,  saying,  When  Lys'i-as 
the  chief  captain  shall  come  down,  I  will  determine 

23  your  matter.  And  he  gave  order  to  the  centurion 
that  he  should  be  kept  in  charge,  and  should  have 
indulgence;  and  not  to  forbid  any  of  his  friends  to 
minister  unto  him. 

24  But  after  certain  days,  Fe'lix  came  with  Dru-sil'la, 
'his  wife,  which  was  a  Jew'ess,  and  sent  for  Paul,  and 

25  heard  him  concerning  the  faith  in  Christ  Jesus.  And 
as  he  reasoned  of  righteousness,  and  'temperance, 
and  the  judgement  to  come,  Fe'lix  was  terrified,  and 
answered,  Go  thy  way  for  this  time ;  and  when  I 
have  a  convenient  season,  I  will  call  thee  unto  me. 

26  He  hoped  withal  that  money  would  be  given  him 
of  Paul :  wherefore  also  he  sent  for  him  the  oftener, 

27  and  communed  mth  him.  But  when  two  years  were 
fulfilled,  Fe'lix  was  succeeded  by  Por'ci-us  Fes'tus ; 
and  desiring  to  gain  favour  with  the  Jews,  Fe'lix 
left  Paul  in  bonds. 

«0  Fes'tus  therefore,  'having  come  into  the  prov- 
ince, after  three  days  went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  from 

2  Cses-a-re'a.  And  the  chief  priests  and  the  principal 
men  of  the  Jews  informed  him  against  Paul ;  and 

3  they  besought  him,  asking  favour  against  him,  that 
he  would  send  for  him  to  Je-ru'sa-lem ;  laying  wait 

4  to  kill  him  on  the  way.  Howbcit  Fes'tus  answered, 
that  Paul  was  kept  in  charge  at  Cses-a-re'a,  and  that 
he  himself  was    about    to    depart    thither   shortly.

5  Let  them  therefore,  said  he,  which  among  you  are  able, 
go  down  with  me,  and  accuse  this  man,  "if  there  be  any 
wickedness  in  him. 

6  And  when  he  had  tarried  among  them  ||more  than  ten  days, 
he  went  down  unto  Ces-a-re'a;  and  the  next  day  sitting 
on  the  judgment  seat  commanded  Paul  to  be  brought. 

7  And  when  he  was  come,  the  Jews  which  came  down 
from  Je-ru'sa-lem  stood  round  about,  ''and  laid  many  and 
grievous  complaints  against  Paul,  which  they  could  not 
prove. 

8  While  he  answered  for  himself,  'Neither  against  the  law 
of  the  Jews,  neither  against  the  temple,  nor  yet  against  Ce'sar 
have  I  ofiFended  any  thing  at  all. 

9  But  Fes'tus, •''willing  to  do  the  Jews  a  pleasure,  answered 
Paul,  and  said,  "Wilt  thou  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  there 
be  judged  of  these  things  before  me? 

10  Then  said  Paul,  I  stand  at  Ce'sar's  judgment  seat,  where 
I  ought  to  be  judged:  to  the  Jews  have  I  done  no  wrong, 
as  thou  very  well  knowest. 

11  ''For  if  I  be  an  offender,  or  have  committed  any  thing 
worthy  of  death,  I  refuse  not  to  die :  but  if  there  be  none  of 
these  things  whereof  these  accuse  me,  no  man  may  deliver 
me  unto  them.     *I  appeal  unto  Ce'sar. 

12  Then  Fes'tus,  when  he  had  conferred  with  the  council, 
answered.  Hast  thou  appealed  unto  Ce'sar?  unto  Ce'sar  shalt 
thou  go. 

13  And  after  certain  days  king  A-grip'pa  and  Ber-ni'ce 
came  unto  Ces-a-re'a  to  salute  Fes'tus. 

14  And  when  they  had  been  there  many  days,  Fes'tus  de- 
clared Paul's  cause  unto  the  king,  saying,  *There  is  a  cer- 
tain man  left  in  bonds  by  Fe'lix: 

15  'About  whom,  when  I  was  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  chief 
priests  and  the  elders  of  the  Jews  informed  me,  desiring  to 
have  judgment  against  him. 

16  "To  whom  I  answered.  It  is  not  the  manner  of  the 
Ro'mans  to  deliver  any  man  to  die,  before  that  he  which 
is  accused  have  the  accusers  face  to  face,  and  have  license 
to  answer  for  himself  concerning  the  crime  laid  against 
him. 

17  Therefore,  when  they  were  come  hither,  "without  any 
delay  on  the  morrow  I  sat  on  the  judgment  seat,  and  com- 
manded the  man  to  be  brought  forth. 

18  Against  whom  when  the  accusers  stood  up,  they  brought 
none  accusation  of  such  things  as  I  supposed : 

19  "But  had  certain  questions  against  him  of  their  own 
superstition,  and  of  one  Jesus,  which  was  dead,  whom  Paul 
affirmed  to  be  alive. 

20  And  because  ||  I  doubted  of  such  manner  of  questions, 

I  asked  him  whether  he  would  go  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  there 
be  judged  of  these  matters. 

21  But  when  Paul  had  appealed  to  be  reserved  unto  the 

II  hearing  of  Au-gus'tus,  I  commanded  him  to  be  kept  till  I 
might  send  him  to  Ce'sar. 

22  Then  "A-grip'pa  said  unto  Fes'tus,  I  would  also  hear 
the  man  myself.     To-morrow,  said  he,  thou  shalt  hear. him. 

23  And  on  the  morrow,  when  A-grip'pa  was  come,  and 
Ber-ni'ce,  with  great  pomp,  and  was  entered  into  the  place 
of  hearing,  with  the  chief  captains  and  principal  men  of  the 
city,  at  Fes'tus'  commandment  Paul  was  brought  forth. 

24  And  Fes'tus  said,  King  A-grip'pa,  and  all  men  which 
are  here  present  with  us,  ye  see  this  man,  about  whom  'all 
the  multitude  of  the  Jews  have  dealt  with  me,  both  at  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  also  here,  crying  that  he  ought  ""not  to  live 
any  longer. 

25  But  when  I  found  that  'he  had  committed  nothing 
worthy  of  death,  'and  that  he  himself  hath  appealed  to 
Au-gus'tus,  I  have  determined  to  send  him. 

26  Of  whom  I  have  no  certain  thing  to  write  unto  my 
lord.     Wherefore  I  have  brought  him  forth  before  you. 


5  Let  them  therefore,  saith  he,  which  are  of  power 
among  you,  go  down  with  me,  and  if  there  is  any- 
thing amiss  in  the  man,  let  them  accuse  him. 

6  And  when  he  had  tarried  among  them  not  more 
than  eight  or  ten  days,  he  went  down  unto  Cses-a-re'a ; 
and  on  the  morrow  he  sat  on  the  judgement-seat,  and 

7  commanded  Paul  to  be  brought.  And  when  he  was 
come,  the  Jews  which  had  come  down  from  Je-ru'sa- 
lem  stood  round  about  him,  bringing  against  him 
many  and  grievous  charges,  which  they  could   not 

8  prove ;  while  Paul  said  in  his  defence.  Neither  against 
the  law   of  the  Jews,  nor  against  the  temple,  nor 

9  against  Cse'sar,  have  I  sinned  at  all.  But  Fes'tus, 
desiring  to  gain  favour  with  the  Jews,  answered  Paul, 
and  said.  Wilt  thou  go  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  there 

10 be  judged  of  these  things  before  me?  But  Paul 
said,  I  am  standing  before  Cae'sar's  judgment-seat, 
where  I  ought  to  be  judged :   to  the   Jews   have  I 

11  done  no  wrong,  as  thou  also  very  well  knowest.  If 
then  I  am  a  wrong-doer,  and  have  committed  any- 
thing worthy  of  death,  I  refuse  not  to  die :  but  if 
none  of  those  things  is  true,  whereof  these  accuse 
me,  no  man  can  'give  me  up  unto  them.     I  appeal 

12  unto  Cse'sar.  Then  Fes'tus,  when  he  had  conferred 
with  the  council,  answered.  Thou  hast  appealed  unto 
Cse'sar:  unto  Cse'sar  shalt  thou  go. 

13  Now  when  certain  days  were  passed,  A-grip'pa  the 
king  and  Ber-ni'ce  arrived  at  Cses-a-re'a,  ^and  saluted 

14  Fes'tus.  And  as  they  tarried  there  many  days,  Fes'- 
tus laid  Paul's  case  before  the  king,  saying.  There  is 

15a  certain  man  left  a  prisoner  by  Fe'lix:  about  whom, 
when  I  was  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  the  chief  priests  and  the 
elders  of  the  Jews  informed  me,  asking  for  sentence 

16  against  him.  To  whom  I  answered,  that  it  is  not 
the  custom  of  the  Ro'mans  to  give  up  any  man,  be- 
fore that  the  accused  have  the  accusers  face  to  face, 
and    have    had    opportunity   to    make    his   defence 

17  concerning  the  matter  laid  against  him.  When 
therefore  they  were  come  together  here,  I  made  no 
delay,  but  on  the  next  day  sat  down  on  the  judge- 
ment-seat, and  commanded  the  man  to  be  brought. 

18  Concerning  whom,  when  the  accusers  stood  up,  they 
brought  no  charge  of  such  evil  things  as  I  supposed ; 

19  but  had  certain  questions  against  him  of  their  own 
'religion,  and   of  one  Jesus,  who   was  dead,  whom 

20  Paul  affirmed  to  be  alive.  And  I,  being  perplexed 
how  to  inquire  concerning  these  things,  asked 
whether  he  would  go  to  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  there  be 

21judged  of  these  matters.  But  when  Paul  had  ap- 
pealed to  be  kept  for  the  decision  of  ^the  emperor,  I 
commanded  him  to  be  kept  till  I  should  send  him 

22  to  Cse'sar.  And  A-grip'pa  said  unto  Fes'tus,  I  also 
'could  wish  to  hear  the  man  myself.  To-morrow, 
saith  he,  thou  shalt  hear  him. 

23  So  on  the  morrow,  when  A-grip'pa  was  come,  and 
Ber-ni'ce,  with  great  pomp,  and  they  were  entered 
into  the  place  of  hearing,  with  the  chief  captains, 
and  the  principal  men  of  the  city,  at  the  command 

24  of  Fes'tus  Paul  was  brought  in.  And  Fes'tus  saith, 
King  A-grip'pa,  and  all  men  which  are  here  present 
with  us,  behold  ye  this  man,  about  whom  all  the  multi- 
tude of  the  Jews  made  suit  to  me,  both  at  Je-ru'sa-lem 
and  here,  crying  that  he   ought  not    to    live   any 

25  longer.  But  I  found  that  he  had  committed  noth- 
ing worthy  of  death :  and  as  he  himself  appealed  to 

26Hhe  emperor  I  determined  to  send  him.  Of  whom 
I  have  no  certain  thing  to  write  unto  my  lord. 
Wherefore  I  have  brought  him  forth  before  you.

and  specially  before  thee,  O  king  A-grip'pa,  that,  after  ex- 
amination, I  might  have  somewhat  to  write. 

27  For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreasonable  to  send  a  prisoner, 
and  not  withal  to  signify  the  crimes  laid  against  him. 
CHAPTER    XXVI. 

Oy  Paul's  ti/e  and  conversion. 

rjlHEN  A-grip'pa  said  unto  Paul,  Thou  art  permitted  to 
•*-  speak  for  thyself.  Then  Paul  stretched  forth  the  hand, 
and  answered  for  himself: 

2  I  think  myself  happy,  king  A-grip'pa,  because  I  shall 
answer  for  myself  this  day  before  thee  touching  all  the 
things  whereof  I  am  accused  of  the  Jews : 

3  Especially  because  I  know  thee  to  be  expert  in  all  cus- 
toms and  questions  which  are  among  the  Jews :  wherefore  I 
beseech  thee  to  hear  me  patiently. 

4  My  manner  of  life  from  my  youth,  which  was  at  the 
first  among  mine  own  nation  at  Je-ru'sa-lem,  know  all  the 
Jews ; 

5  Which  knew  me  from  the  beginning,  if  they  would  tes- 
tify, that  after  "the  most  straitest  sect  of  our  religion  I  lived 
a  Phar'i-see. 

6  'And  now  I  stand  and  am  judged  for  the  hope  of  "the 
promise  made  of  God  unto  our  lathers: 

7  Unto  which  promifie  ''our  twelve  tribes,  instantly  serving 
God  t*day  and  night,  ■'^hope  to  come.  For  which  hope's 
sake,  king  A-prip'pa,  I  am  accused  of  the  Jews. 

8  Why  should  it  be  thought  a  thing  incredible  with  you, 
that  God  should  raise  the  dead? 

9  "I  verily  thought  with  myself,  that  I  ought  to  do  many 
things  contrary  to  the  name  of  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth. 

10  ''Which  thing  I  also  did  in  Je-ru'sa-lem:  and  many  of 
the  saints  did  I  shut  up  in  prison,  having  received  authority 
'from  the  chief  priests;  and  when  they  were  put  to  death, 

gave  my  voice  again.st  them. 

11  ''And  I  punished  them  oft  in  every  synagogue,  and 
compelled  them  to  blaspheme;  and  being  exceedingly  mad 
against  them,  I  persecuted  them  even  unto  strange  cities. 

12  'Whereupon  as  I  went  to  Da-nias'cus  with  authority 
and  commission  from  the  chief  priests, 

13  At  midday,  O  king,  I  saw  in  the  way  a  light  from 
heaven,  above  the  brightness  of  the  sun,  shining  round  about 
me  and  them  wliich  journeyed  with  me. 

14  And  when  we  were  all  fallen  to  the  earth,  I  heard  a 
voice  speaking  unto  me,  and  saying  in  the  He'brew  tongue, 
Saul,  Saul,  why  persecutest  thou  me?  It  is  hard  for  thee 
to  kick  against  the  pricks. 

15  And  I  said.  Who  art  thou,  Lord?  And  he  said,  I  am 
Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest. 

16  But  rise,  and  stand  upon  thy  feet:  for  I  have  appeared 
unto  thee  for  this  purpose,  "to  make  thee  a  minister  and  a 
witness  both  of  these  things  which  thou  hast  seen,  and  of 
those  things  in  the  which  I  will  appear  unto  thee; 

1 7  Delivering  thee  from  the  people,  and  from  the  Gentiles, 
"unto  whom  now  I  send  thee, 

18  "To  open  their  eyes,  and  "to  turn  them  from  darkness  to 
light,  and /rowi  the  power  of  Sa'tan  unto  God,  "that  they  may 
receive  forgiveness  of  sins,  and  ''inheritance  among  them 
which  are  'sanctified  by  faith  that  is  in  me. 

19  Whereupon,  O  king  A-grip'pa,  I  was  not  disobedient 
unto  the  heavenly  vision  : 

20  But  'shewed  first  unto  them  of  Da-ma.s'cu8,  and  at  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Ju-de'a,  and  then 
to  the  Gentiles,  that  they  should  repent  and  turn  to  God, 
and  do  "works  meet  for  repentance. 

21  For  these  causes  'the  Jews  caught  me  in  the  temple, 
and  went  about  to  kill  me. 

22  Having  therefore  obtained  help  of  God,  I  continue 
unto  this  day,  witnessing  both  to  small  and  great,  saying, 


and  specially  before  thee,  king  A-grip'pa,  that,  after 
examination  had,  I  may  have  somewhat  to  write. 
27  For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreasonable,  in  sending  a 
prisoner,  not  withal  to  signify  the  charges  against 
him. 

i^V  And  A-grip'pa  said  unto  Paul,  Thou  art  permitted 
to  speak  for  thyself.  Then  Paul  stretched  forth  his 
hand,  and  made  his  defence : 

2  I  think  myself  happy,  king  A-grip'pa,  that  I  am  to 
make  my  defence  before  thee  this  day  touching  all 
the  things    whereof  I   am  accused  by    the    Jews: 

3 'especially  because  thou  art  expert  in  all  customs 
and  questions  which  are  among  the  Jews :  wherefore 

41  beseech  thee  to  hear  me  patiently.  My  manner 
of  life  then  from  my  youth  up,  which  was  from  the 
beginning  among  mine  own  nation,  and  at  Je-ru'sa- 

6  lem,  know  all  the  Jews ;  having  knowledge  of  me 
from  the  first,  if  they  be  willing  to  testify,  how  that 
after  the  straitest  sect  of  our  religion  I  lived  a  Phar'i- 

6  see.  And  now  I  stand  here  to  be  judged  for  the 
hope  of  the  promise  made  of  God  unto  our  fathers ; 

7  unto  which  promise  our  twelve  tribes,  earnestly  serv- 
ing God  night  and  day,  hope  to  attain.  And  con- 
cerning tliis  hope   I  am   accused   by  the   Jews,  O 

8  king!  Why  is  it  judged  incredible  with  you,  if  God 

9  doth  raise  the  dead  ?  I  verily  thought  with  myself, 
that  I  ought  to  do  many  things  contrary  to  the  name 

10  of  Jesus  of  Naz'a-reth.  And  this  I  aLso  did  in  Je-ru'- 
sa-lem :  and  I  both  shut  up  many  of  the  saints  in 
prisons,  having  received  authority  from  the  chief 
priests,  and  when  they  were  put  to  death,  I  gave  my 

11  vote  against  them.  And  punishing  them  oftentimes 
in  all  the  synagogues,  I  strove  to  make  them  blas- 
pheme; and  being  exceedingly  mad  against  them,  I 

12  persecuted  them  even  unto  foreign  cities.  ^Where- 
upon as  I  journeyed  to  Da-mas'cus  with  the  authority 

13  and  commission  of  the  chief  priests,  at  midday,  O 
king,  I  saw  on  the  way  alight  from  heaven,  above  the 
brightness  of  the  sun,  shining  round  about  me  and 

14  them  that  journeyed  with  me.  And  when  we  were 
all  fallen  to  the  earth,  I  heard  a  voice  saying  unto 
me  in  the  He'brew  language,  Saul,  Saul,  why  per- 
secutest thou  me?  it  is  hard  for  thee  to  kick  against 

16 'the  goad.  And  I  said,  Who  art  thou,  Lord?  And 
the  Lord  said,  I  am  Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest. 

16 But  arise,  and  stand  upon  thy  feet:  for  to  this  end 
have  I  appeared  unto  thee,  to  appoint  thee  a  minis- 
ter and  a  witness  both  of  the  things  Vherein  thou 
hast  seen  me,  and  of  the  things  wherein  I  will  ap- 

17 pear   unto   thee;  delivering   thee   from  the  people, 

18  and  from  the  Gentiles,  unto  whom  I  send  thee,  to 
open  their  eyes,  'that  they  may  turn  from  dark- 
ness to  light,  and  from  the  power  of  Sa'tan  unto 
God,  that  they  may  receive  remission  of  sins  and 
an  inheritance  among  them  that  are  sanctified  by 

19  faith  in  me.     Wherefore,  O  king  A-grip'pa,  I  was 

20  not  disobedient  unto  the  heavenly  vision :  but  de- 
clared both  to  them  of  Da-mas'cus  first,  and  at  Je- 
ru'sa-lem,  and  throughout  all  the  country  of  Ju-dae'a, 
and  also  to  the  Gentiles,  that  they  should  repent 
and  turn  to  God,  doing  works  worthy  of  'repent- 

21  ance.     For  this  cause  the  Jews  seized  me  in  the 

22  temple,  and  assayed  to  kill  me.  Having  therefore 
obtained  the  help  that  is  from  God,  I  stand  unto 
this  day  testifying  both  to  small  and  great,  saying

none   other   things  than  those  "which    the  prophets   and 

'Mo'ses  did  say  should  come: 

23  "That  Christ  should  suffer,  and  Hhat  he  should  be  the 
first  that  sliould  rise  from  the  dead,  and  "should  shew  light 
unto  the  people,  and  to  the  Gentiles. 

24  And  as  he  thus  spake  for  him-self,  Fes'tus  said  with  a 
loud  voice,  Paul,  ''thou  art  beside  thyself;  much  learning 
doth  make  thee  mad. 

25  But  he  said,  I  am  not  mad,  most  noble  Fes'tus;  but 
speak  forth  the  words  of  truth  and  soberness. 

26  For  the  king  kuoweth  of  these  things,  before  whom  also 
I  speak  freely :  for  I  am  persuaded  that  none  of  these  things 
are  hidden  from  him ;  for  this  thing  was  not  done  in  a  corner. 

27  King  A-grip'pa,  believest  thou  the  prophets?  I  know 
that  thou  believest. 

28  Then  A-grip'pa  said  unto  Paul,  Almost  thou  persuadest 
me  to  be  a  Christian. 

29  And  Paul  said,  'I  would  to  God,  that  not  only  thou,  but 
also  all  that  hear  me  this  day,  were  both  almost,  and  alto- 
gether such  as  I  am,  except  these  bonds. 

30  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  the  king  rose  up,  and 
the  governor,  and  Ber-ni'ce,  and  they  that  sat  with  them  : 

31  And  when  they  were  gone  aside,  they  talked  between 
themselves,  saying,  -^This  man  doeth  nothing  worthy  of 
death  or  of  bonds. 

32  Then  said  A-grip'pa  unto  Fes'tus,  This  man  might  have 
been  set  at  liberty,  "if  he  had  not  appealed  unto  Ce'sar. 

CHAPTER   XXVII. 

Paul  shippeth  for  Rome. 

AND  when  "it  was  determined,  that  we  should  sail  into 
It'a-ly,  they  delivered  Paul  and  certain  other  prisoners 
unto  one  named  Ju'li-us,  a  centurion  of  Au-gus'tus'  band. 

2  And  entering  into  a  ship  of  Ad-ra-myt'ti-um,  we  launched, 
meaning  to  sail  by  the  coa.sts  of  A'si-a;  one  ''Ar-is-tar'chus, 
a  Mac-e-do'ni-an  of  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca,  being  with  us. 

3  And  the  next  day  we  touched  at  Si'don.  And  Ju'li-us 
"courteously  entreated  Paul,  and  gave  him  liberty  to  go 
unto  his  friends  to  refresh  himself. 

4  And  when  we  had  launched  from  thence,  we  sailed  under 
Cy'prus,  because  the  winds  were  contrary. 

5  And  when  we  had  sailed  over  the  sea  of  Ci-li'ci-a  and 
Pam-phyl'i-a,  we  came  to  My'ra,  a  city  of  Ly'ci-a. 

6  And  there  the  centurion  found  a  ship  of  Al-ex-an'dri-a 
sailing  into  It'a-ly ;  and  he  put  us  therein. 

7  And  when  we  had  sailed  slowly  many  days,  and  scarce 
were  come  over  against  Cni'dus,  the  wind  not  sufiFering  us, 
we  sailed  under  ||  Crete,  over  against  Sal-mo'ne  : 

8  And,  hardly  passing  it,  came  unto  a  place  which  is  called 
the  Fair  Havens;  nigh  whereunto  was  the  city  ofLa-se'a. 

9  Now  when  much  time  was  spent,  and  when  sailing  was 
now  dangerous,  ''because  the  fast  was  now  already  past,  Paul 
admonished  them, 

10  And  said  unto  them,  Sirs,  I  perceive  that  this  voyage 
will  be  with  ||  hurt  and  much  damage,  not  only  of  the  lading 
and  ship,  but  also  of  our  lives. 

1 1  Nevertheless  the  centurion  believed  the  master  and  the 
owner  of  the  ship  more  than  those  things  which  were  spoken 
by  Paul. 

12  And  because  the  haven  was  not  commodious  to  winter 
in,  the  more  part  advised  to  depart  thence  also,  if  by  any 
means  they  might  attain  to  Phe-ni'ce,  and  the^-e  to  winter; 
which  is  a  haven  of  Crete,  and  lieth  toward  the  southwest 
and  northwest. 

13  And  when  the  south  wind  blew  softly,  supposing  that 
they  had  obtained  their  purpose,  loosing  thence,  tliey  sailed 
close  by  Crete. 

14  But  not  long  after  there  ||  arose  against  it  a  tempestuous 
wind,  called  Eu-roc'ly-don. 


nothing  but  what  the  prophets  and  Mo'ses  did  say 

23  should  come ;  'how  that  the  Christ  ^must  suffer,  and 
'how  that  he  first  by  the  resurrection  of  the  dead 
should  proclaim  light  both  to  the  people  and  to  the 
Gentiles. 

24  And  as  he  thus  made  his  defence,  Fes'tus  saith 
with  a  loud  voice,  Paul,  thou  art  mad;  thy    much 

25  learning  doth  turn  thee  to  madness.  But  Paul  saith, 
I  am  not  mad,  most   excellent  Fes'tus ;    but   speak 

26  forth  words  of  truth  and  soberness.  For  the  king 
knoweth  of  these  things,  unto  whom  also  I  speak 
freely:  for  I  am  persuaded  that  none  of  these  things 
is  hidden  from  him  ;  for  this  hath  not  been  done  in  a 

27  corner.    King  A-grip'pa,  believest  thou  the  prophets  ? 
28 1  know  that  thou  believest.    And  A-grip'pa  said  unto 

Paul,  With  but  little  persuasion  thou  wouldest  fain 

29  make  me  a  Christian.  And  Paul  said,  I  would  to  God, 
that  whether  with  little  or  with  much,  not  thou  only, 
but  also  all  that  hear  me  this  day,  might  become 
such  as  I  am,  except  these  bonds. 

30  And    the    king  rose   up,  and    the  governor,  and 

31  Ber-ni'ce,  and  they  that  sat  with  them:  and  when 
they  had  withdrawn,  they  spake  one  to  another,  say- 
ing, This  man  doeth  nothing  worthy  of  death  or  of 

32  bonds.  And  A-grip'pa  said  unto  Fes'tus,  This  man 
might  have  been  set  at  liberty,  if  he  had  not  appealed 
unto  Cse'sar. 

^  *  And  when  it  was  determined  that  we  should  sail 
for  It'a-ly,  they  delivered  Paul  and  certain  other 
prisoners  to  a  centurion  named  Ju'li-us,  of  the  Au- 
2gus'tan  'band.  And  embarking  in  a  ship  of  Ad-ra- 
myt'ti-um,  which  was  about  to  sail  unto  the  places  on 
the  coast  of  A'si-a,we  put  to  sea,  Ar-is-tar'chus,a  Mac-e- 
3do'ni-an  of  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca,  being  with  us.  And  the 
next  day  we  touched  at  Si'don  :  and  Ju'li-us  treated 
Paul  kindly,  and  gave    him    leave   to   go  unto  his 

4  friends   and   ''refresh   himself.     And  putting  to  sea 
from  thence,  we  sailed  under  the  lee  of  Cy'prus,  be- 

5  cause  the  winds  were  contrary.     And  when  we  had 
sailed  across  the  sea  which  is  off  Ci-li'ci-a  and  Pam 

6phyl'i-a,  we  came  to  My'ra,  a  city  of  Ly'ci-a.     And 
there  the  centurion  found  a  ship  of  Al-ex-an'dri-a  sail 
7ing  for  It'a-ly;  and  he  put  us  therein.  •  And  when 
we  had   sailed   slowly   many   days,   and  were  come 
with  diflficulty  over  against  Cni'dus,  the  wind  not  'fur 
ther  suffering  us,  we   sailed  under  the  lee  of  Crete, 
Sever  against  Sal-mo'ne;  and  with  difficulty  coasting 
along  it  we   came   unto  a  certain  place   called  Fair 
Havens ;  nigh  whereunto  was  the  city  of  La-se'a. 
9      And  when  much  time   was  spent,  and  the  voyage 
was  now  dangerous,  because  the    Fast  was  now  al- 
10  ready  gone    by,    Paul   admonished   them,  and  said 
unto  them.  Sirs,  I  perceive  that  the  voyage  will  be 
with  injury  and  much  loss,  not  only  of  tlie  lading 
Hand  the  ship,  but  also  of  our  lives.     But  the  cen- 
turion  gave    more    heed  to  the   master  and  to  the 
owner  of  the  ship,  than  to  those  things  which  were 

12  spoken  by  Paul.  And  because  the  haven  was  not 
commodious  to  winter  in,  the  more  part  advised  to 
put  to  sea  from  thence,  if  by  any  means  they  could 
reach  Phoe'nix,  and  winter  there;  which  is  a  haven 

13  of  Crete,  looking  'north-east  and  south-east.  And 
when  the  south  wind  blew  softly,  supposing  that 
they  had  obtained  their  purpose,  they  weighed 
anchor,   and    sailed    along    Crete,   close    in    shore. 

14 But  after  no  long  time  there  beat  down  from  it 
a  tempestuous  wind,  which  is  called  Eu-raq'ui-lo :

15  And  when  the  ship  waa  caught,  and  eould  not  bear  up 
into  the  wind,  we  let  her  drive. 

16  And  running  under  a  certain  island  which  is  called 
Clau'da,  we  had  much  work  to  come  by  the  boat: 

17  Which  when  they  had  taken  up,  they  used  helps,  un- 
dergirding  the  ship ;  and,  fearing  lest  they  should  fall  into 
the  quicksands,  strake  sail,  and  so  were  driven. 

18  And  we  being  exceedingly  tossed  with  a  tempest,  the 
next  day  they  lightened  the  ship; 

19  And  the  third  day  'we  cast  out  with  our  own  hands 
the  tackling  of  the  ship. 

20  And  when  neither  sun  nor  stars  in  many  days  appeared, 
and  no  small  tempest  lay  on  us,  all  hope  that  we  should  be 
saved  was  then  taken  away. 

21  But  after  long  abstinence,  Paul  stood  forth  in  the  midst 
of  them,  and  said.  Sirs,  ye  should  have  hearkened  unto  me, 
and  not  have  loosed  from  Crete,  and  to  have  gained  this 
harm  and  loss. 

22  And  now  I  exhort  you  to  be  of  good  cheer:  for  there 
shall  be  no  loss  of  any  man's  life  among  you,  but  of  the  ship. 

23  -'^For  there  stood  by  me  this  night  the  angel  of  God, 
whose  I  am,  and  "whom  I  serve, 

24  Saying,  Fear  not,  Paul ;  thou  must  be  brought  before  Ce'- 
sar :  and,  lo,  God  hath  given  thee  all  them  that  sail  with  thee. 

25  Wherefore,  sirs,  be  of  good  cheer :  ''for  I  believe  God, 
that  it  shall  be  even  as  it  was  told  me. 

26  Howbeit  'we  must  be  cast  upon  a  certain  island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth  night  was  come,  as  we  were 
driven  up  and  down  in  A'dri-a,  about  midnight  the  shipmen 
deemed  that  they  drew  near  to  some  country ; 

28  And  sounded,  and  found  it  twenty  fathoms :  and  when 
they  had  gone  a  little  further,  they  sounded  again,  and  found 
U  fifteen  fathoms. 

29  Then  fearing  lest  they  should  have  fallen  upon  rocks, 
they  cast  four  anchors  out  of  the  stern,  and  wished  for  the  day. 

30  And  as  the  shipmen  were  about  to  flee  out  of  the  ship, 
when  they  had  let  down  the  boat  into  the  sea,  under  colour 
as  though  they  would  have  cast  anchors  out  of  the  foreship, 

31  Paul  said  to  the  centurion,  and  to  the  soldiers,  Except 
these  abide  in  the  ship,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the  ropes  of  the  boat,  and  let 
her  fall  off. 

33  And  while  the  day  was  coming  on,  Paul  besought  them 
all  to  take  meat,  saying.  This  day  is  the  fourteenth  day  that 
ye  have  tarfied  and  continued  fasting,  having  taken  nothing. 

34  Wherefore  I  pray  you  to  take  some  meat ;  for  this  is  for 
your  health  :  for  *there  shall  not  a  hair  fall  from  the  head 
of  any  of  you. 

35  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  took  bread,  and 
'gave  thanks  to  God  in  presence  of  them  all ;  and  when  he 
had  broken  it,  he  began  to  eat. 

36  Then  were  they  all  of  good  cheer,  and  they  also  took 
some  meat. 

37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship  two  hundred  threescore 
and  sixteen  "souls. 

38  And  when  they  had  eaten  enough,  they  lightened  the 
ship,  and  cast  out  the  wheat  into  the  sea. 

39  And  when  it  was  day,  they  knew  not  the  land :  but  they 
discovered  a  certain  creek  with  a  shore,  into  the  which  they 
were  minded,  if  it  were  possible,  to  thrust  in  the  ship. 

40  And  when  they  had  ||  taken  up  the  anchors,  they  com- 
mitted themselves  unto  the  sea,  and  loosed  the  rudder  bands, 
and  hoisted  up  the  mainsail  to  the  wind, and  made  toward  shore. 

41  And  falling  into  a  place  where  two  seas  met,  "they  ran 
the  ship  aground;  and  the  forepart  stuck  fast,  and  remained 
unmoveable,  but  the  hinder  part  was  broken  with  the  violence 
of  the  waves. 

42  And  the  soldiers'  counsel  was  to  kill  the  prisoners,  lest 
any  of  them  should  swim  out,  and  escape. 


15  and  when  the  ship  was  caught,  and  could  not  face 

16  the  wind,  we  gave  way  to  it,  and  were  driven.  And 
running  under  the  lee  of  a  small  island  called  'Cau'da, 

17  we  were  able,  with  difficulty,  to  secure  the  boat :  and 
when  they  had  hoisted  it  up,  they  used  helps,  under- 
girding  the  ship;  and,  fearing  lest  they  should  be 
cast  upon  the  Syr'tis,  they  lowered  the  gear,  and  so 

18  were  driven.  And  as  we  laboured  exceedingly  with 
the  storm,  the  next  day  they  began  to  throw  the 

19/rei^A<  overboard;  and  the  third  day  they  cast  out 

20  with  their  own  hands  the  ^tackling  of  the  ship.  And 
when  neither  sun  nor  stars  shone  upon  us  for  many 
days,   and  no   small  tempest  lay   on   ms,  all   hope 

21  that  we  should  be  saved  was  now  taken  away.  And 
when  they  had  been  long  without  food,  then  Paul 
stood  forth  in  the  midst  of  them,  and  said,  Sirs,  ye 
should  have  hearkened  unto  me,  and  not  have  set 
sail  from   Crete,  and   have  gotten   this   injury  and 

22  loss.  And  now  I  exhort  you  to  be  of  good  cheer : 
for  there  shall  be   no    loss  of  life  among   you,  but 

23  only  of  the  ship.  For  there  stood  by  me  this  night 
an  angel  of  the  God  whose  I  am,  whom  also  I  serve, 

24 saying.  Fear  not,  Paul;  thou  must  stand  before 
Cse'.sar :  and  lo,  God  hath  granted  thee  all  them  that 

25  sail  with  thee.  Wherefore,  sir.s,  be  of  good  cheer : 
for  I  believe  God,  that  it  shall  be  even  so  as  it  hath 

26  been  .spoken  unto  me.  Howbeit  we  must  be  cast 
upon  a  certain  island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth  night  was  come,  as  we 
were  driven  to  and  fro  in  the  sea  of  A'dri-a,  about 
midnight  the  sailors  surmised  that  they  were  draw- 

28ing  near  to  some  country;  and  they  sounded,  and 
found  twenty  fathoms :  and  after  a  little  space,  they 

29  sounded  again,  and  found  fifteen  fathoms.  And 
fearing  lest  haply  we  should  be  cast  ashore  on  rocky 
ground,  they  let  go  four  anchors  from  the  stern,  and 

30  ^wished  for  the  day.  And  as  the  sailors  were  seek- 
ing to  flee  out  of  the  ship,  and  had  lowered  the  boat 
into  the  sea,  under  colour  as  though  they  would  lay 

31  out  anchors  from  the  foreship,  Paul  said  to  the  cen- 
turion and  to  the  soldiers.  Except  these  abide  in  the 

32  ship,  ye  cannot  be   saved.     Then  the  soldiers  cut 

33  away  the  ropes  of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall  off.  And 
while  the  day  was  coming  on,  Paul  besought  them 
all  to  take  some  food,  saying,  This  day  is  the  four- 
teenth day  that  ye  wait  and  continue  fasting,  having 

34  taken  nothing.  Wherefore  I  beseech  you  to  take 
some  food :  for  this  is  for  your  safety :  for  there 
shall  not  a  hair  perish  from  the  head  of  any  of  you. 

35  And  when  he  had  said  this,  and  had  taken  bread, 
he  gave  thanks  to  God  in  the  presence  of  all:  and 

36  he  brake  it,  and  began  to  eat.     Then  were  they  all 

37  of  good  cheer,  and  themselves  also  took  food.  And 
we  were  in  all  in  the  ship  Hwo  hundred  threescore 

38  and  sixteen  souls.  And  when  they  had  eaten 
enough,  they  lightened  the  ship,  throwing  out   the 

39  wheat  into  the  sea.  And  when  it  was  day,  they 
knew  not  the  land  :  but  they  perceived  a  certain  bay 
with  a  beach,  and  they  took  counsel   whether  they 

40 could  'drive  the  ship  upon  it.  And  casting  off 
the  anchors,  they  left  them  in  the  sea,  at  the  same 
time  loo.sin^  the  bands  of  the  rudders;  and  hoist- 
ing up  the  foresail  to  the  wind,  they  made  for  the 

41  beach.  But  lighting  upon  a  place  where  two  seas 
met,  they  ran  the  vessel  aground;  and  the  fore- 
ship  struck  and  remained  unmoveable,  but  the  stern 
began  to  break  up  by  the  violence  of  the  waves. 

42  And  the  soldiers'  counsel  was  to  kill  the  prison- 
ers, lest  any  of  them  should  swim  out,  and  escape.

43  But  the  centurion,  willing  to  save  Paul,  kept  them  from 
theii-  purpose ;  and  commanded  that  they  which  could  swim 
should  cast  themselves  first  into  the  sea,  and  get  to  laud : 

44  And  the  rest,  some  on  boards,  and  some  on  broken 
pieces  of  the  ship.  And  so  it  came  to  pass,  "that  they  es- 
caped all  safe  to  land. 

CHAPTER    XXVIII. 

Paul  in  thf  island  of  Melita. 

AND  when  they  were  escaped,  then  they  knew  that  "the 
island  was  called  Mel'i-ta. 

2  And  the  'barbarous  people  shewed  us  no  little  kindness : 
for  they  kindled  a  fire,  and  received  us  every  one,  because 
of  the  present  rain,  and  because  of  the  cold. 

3  And  when  Paul  had  gathered  a  bundle  of  sticks,  and 
laid  them  on  the  fire,  there  came  a  viper  out  of  the  heat,  and 
fastened  on  his  hand. 

4  And  when  the  barbarians  saw  the  venomous  beast  hang 
on  his  hand,  they  said  among  themselves,  No  doubt  this 
man  is  a  murderer,  whom,  though  he  hath  escaped  the  sea, 
yet  vengeance  suffereth  not  to  live. 

5  And  he  shook  off  the  beast  into  the  fire,  and  "felt  no  harm. 

6  Howbeit  they  looked  when  he  should  have  swollen  or 
fallen  down  dead  suddenly :  but  after  they  had  looked  a 
great  while,  and  saw  no  harm  come  to  him,  they  changed 
their  minds,  and  ''said  that  he  was  a  god. 

7  In  the  same  quarters  were  possessions  of  the  chief  man 
of  the  island,  whose  name  was  Pub'li-us ;  who  received  us, 
and  lodged  us  three  days  courteously. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass  that  the  father  of  Pub'li-us  lay  sick 
of  a  fever  and  of  a  bloody  flux  :  to  whom  Paul  entered  in, 
and  'prayed,  and  -'^laid  his  hands  on  him,  and  healed  him. 

9  So  when  this  was  done,  others  also,  which  had  diseases 
in  the  island,  came,  and  were  healed : 

10  Who  also  honoured  us  with  many  "honours;  and  when 
we  departed,  they  laded  us  with  such  things  as  were  necessary. 

11  And  after  three  months,  we  departed  in  a  ship  of  Al- 
ex-an'dri-a,  which  had  wintered  in  the  isle,  whose  sign  was 
Cas'tor  and  Pol'lux. 

12  And  landing  at  Syr'a-cuse,  we  tarried  there  three  days. 

13  And  from  thence  we  fetched  a  compass,  and  came  to 
Rhe'gi-um :  and  after  one  day  the  south  wind  blew,  and  we 
came  the  next  day  to  Pu-te'o-li : 

14  Where  we  found  brethren,  and  were  desired  to  tarry 
with  them  seven  days:  and  so  we  went  toward  Rome. 

15  And  from  thence,  when  the  brethren  heard  of  us,  they 
came  to  meet  us  as  far  as  Ap'pi-i  Fo'rum,  and  the  Three  Taverns ; 
whom  when  Paul  saw  he  thanked  God,  and  took  courage. 

16  And  when  we  came  to  Rome,  the  centurion  delivered 
the  prisoners  to  the  captain  of  the  guard :  but  *Paul  was 
suffered  to  dwell  by  himself  with  a  soldier  that  kept  him. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after  three  days  Paul  called 
the  chief  of  the  Jews  together:  and  when  they  were  come 
together,  he  said  unto  them.  Men  and  brethren,  'though  I 
have  committed  nothing  against  the  people,  or  customs  of 
our  fathers,  yet  *was  I  delivered  prisoner  from  Je-ru'sa-lem 
into  the  hands  of  the  Ro'mans: 

18  Who,  'when  they  had  examined  me,  would  have  let  me 
go,  because  there  was  no  cause  of  death  in  me. 

19  But  when  the  Jews  spake  against  it,  "I  was  constrained  to 
appeal  unto  Ce'sar ;  not  that  I  had  aught  to  accuse  my  nation  of. 

20  For  this  cause  therefore  have  I  called  for  you  to  see 
you,  and  to  speak  with  you:  because  that  "for  the  hope  of 
Is'ra-el  I  am  bound  with  "this  chain. 

21  And  they  said  unto  him,  We  neither  received  letters 
out  of  Ju-de'a  concerning  thee,  neither  any  of  the  brethren 
that  came  shewed  or  spake  any  harm  of  thee. 

22  But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee  what  thou  thinkest :  for 
as  concerning  this  sect,  we  know  that  every  where  "it  is 
spoken  against. 


43  But  the  centurion,  desiring  to  save  Paul,  stayed  them 
from  their  purpose;  and  commanded  that  they  which 
could  swim  should  cast  themselves  overboard,  and 

44  get  first  to  the  land  ;  and  the  rest,  some  on  planks, 
and  some  on  other  things  from  the  ship.  And  so  it 
came  to  pass,  that  they  all  escaped  safe  to  the  land. 

'^O     And  when  we  were  escaped,  then  we  knew  that 

2  the  island  was  called  'Mel'i-ta.  And  the  barbarians 
shewed  us  no  common  kindness:  for  they  kindled 
a  fire,  and  received  us  all,  because  of  the  present 

3  rain,  and  because  of  the  cold.  But  when  Paul  had 
gathered  a  bundle  of  sticks,  and  laid  them  on  the 
fire,  a  viper  came  out  ^by  reason  of  the  heat,  and 

4  fastened  on  his  hand.  And  when  the  barbarians 
saw  the  beast  hanging  from  his  hand,  they  said  one 
to  another,  No  doubt  this  man  is  a  murderer,  whom, 
though  he  hath  escaped  from   the   sea,  yet  Justice 

5  hath    not  suffered  to  live.     Howbeit  he  shook  off 

6  the  beast  into  the  fire,  and  took  no  harm.  But  they 
expected  that  he  would  have  swollen,  or  fallen  down 
dead  suddenly :  but  when  they  were  long  in  expec- 
tation, and  beheld  nothing  amiss  come  to  him,  they 
changed  their  minds,  and  said  that  he  was  a  god. 

7  Now  in  the  neighbourhood  of  that  place  were 
lands  belonging  to  the  chief  man  of  the  ifsland, 
named  Pub'li-us;  who  received  us,  and  entertained 

8  us  three  days  courteously.  And  it  was  so,  that  the 
father  of  Pub'li-us  lay  sick  of  fever  and  dysentery : 
unto  whom  Paul  entered  in,  and  prayed,  and  laying 

9  his  hands  on  him  healed  him.  And  when  this  was 
done,  the  rest  also  which  had  diseases  in  the  island 

10 came,  and  were  cured:  who  also  honoured  us  with 
many  honours;  and  when  we  sailed,  they  put  on 
board  such  things  as  we  needed. 

11  And  after  three  months  we  set  sail  in  a  ship  of 
Al-ex-an'dri-a,  which   had  wintered   in   the   island, 

12  whose  sign  was  'The  Twin  Brothers.    And  touching 

13  at  Syr'a-cuse,  we  tarried  there  three  days.  And  from 
thence  we  *made  a  circuit,  and  arrived  at  Rhe'gi-um  : 
and  after  one  day  a  south  wind  sprang  up,  and  on 

14  the  second  day  we  came  to  Pu-te'o-li :  where  we  found 
brethren,  and  were    intreated  to   tarry   with   them 

15 seven  days:  and  so  we  came  to  Rome.  And  from 
thence  the  brethren,  when  they  heard  of  us,  came  to 
meet  us  as  far  as  The  Market  of  Ap'pi-us,  and  The 
Three  Taverns :  whom  when  Paul  saw,  he  thanked 
God,  and  took  courage. 

16  And  when  we  entered  into  Rome,  'Paul  was  suffered 
to  abide  by  himself  with  the  soldier  that  guarded  him. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after  three  days  he  called 
together  Hhose  that  were  the  chief  of  the  Jews :  and 
when  they  were  come  together,  he  said  unto  them, 
I,  brethren,  though  I  had  done  nothing  against  the 
people,  or  the  customs  of  our  fathers,  yet  was  de- 
livered prisoner  from  Je-ru'sa-lem  into  the  hands  of  the 

18  Ro'mans:  who,  when  they  had  examined  me,  desired 
to  set  me  at  liberty,  because  there  was  no  cause  of 

19  death  in  me.  But  when  the  Jews  spake  against  it, 
I  was  constrained  to  appeal  unto  Cae'sar ;  not  that  I 

20  had  aught  to  accuse  my  nation  of.  For  this  cause 
therefore  did  I  'intreat  you  to  see  and  to  speak  with 
me :  for  because  of  the  hope  of  Is'ra-el  I  am  bound  with 

21  this  chain.  And  they  said  unto  him.  We  neither 
received  letters  from  Ju-dse'a  concerning  thee,  nor  did 
any  of  the  brethren  come  hither  and  report  or  speak 

22  any  harm  of  thee.  But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee 
what  thou  thinkest:  for  as  concerning  this  sect,  it  is 
known  to  us  that  everywhere  it  is  spoken  against.

23  And  when  they  had  appointed  him  a  day,  there  came 
many  to  him  into  his  lodging;  'to  whom  he  expounded  and 
testified  the  kingdom  of  God,  persuading  them  concerning 
Jesus,  'both  out  of  the  law  of  Mo'ses,and  ovi  of  the  prophets, 
from  morning  till  evening. 

24  And  'some  believed  the  things  which  were  spoken,  and 
some  believed  not. 

25  And  when  they  agreed  not  among  themselves,  they 
departed,  after  that  Paul  had  spoken  one  word,  Well 
spake  the  Holy  Ghost  by  E-sa'ias  the  prophet  unto  our 
fathers, 

26  Saying,  'Go  unto  this  people,  and  say.  Hearing  ye  shall 
hear,  and  shall  not  understand ;  and  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and 
not  perceive : 

27  For  the  heart  of  this  people  is  waxed  gross,  and  their 
ears  are  dull  of  hearing,  and  their  eyes  have  they  closed; 
lest  they  should  see  with  their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears, 
and  understand  with  their  heart,  and  should  be  converted, 
and  I  should  heal  them. 

28  Be  it  known  therefore  unto  you,  that  the  salvation 
of  God  is  sent  "unto  the  Gentiles,  and  that  they  will 
hear  it. 

29  And  when  he  had  said  these  words,  the  Jews  departed, 
and  had  great  reasoning  among  themselves. 

30  Arid  Paul  dwelt  two  whole  years  in  his  own  hired 
house,  and  received  all  that  came  in  unto  him, 

31  'Preaching  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  teaching  those 
things  which  concern  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  with  all  con- 
fidence, no  man  forbidding  him. 


23  And  when  they  had  appointed  him  a  day,  they  came 
to  him  into  his  lodging  in  great  number ;  to  whom  he 
expounded  the  matter,  testifying  the  kingdom  of  God, 
and  persuading  them  concerning  Jesus,  both  from 
the  law  of  Mo'ses  and  from  the  prophets,  from  morn- 

24  ing  till  evening.   And  some  believed  the  things  which 

25  were  spoken,  and  some  disbelieved.  And  when  they 
agreed  not  among  themselves,  they  departed,  after 
that  Paul  had  spoken  one  word,Well  spake  the  Holy 

26  Ghost'byl-sa'iah  the  prophet  unto  your  fathers,  saying. 

Go  thou  unto  this  people,  and  say, 
By  hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and  shall  in  no  wise  un- 
derstand ; 
And  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  shall  in  no  wise  perceive  : 

27  For  this  people's  heart  is  waxed  gross. 
And  their  ears  are  dull  of  hearing. 
And  their  eyes  they  have  closed ; 

Lest  haply  they  should  perceive  with  their  eyes, 

And  hear  with  their  ears. 

And  understand  with  their  heart, 

And  should  turn  again, 

And  I  should  heal  them. 

28  Be  it  known  therefore  unto  you,  that  this  salvation  of 
God  is  sent  unto  the  Gentiles:  they  will  also  hear.^ 

30  And  he  abode  two  whole  years  in  his  own  hired 
dwelling,  and  received  all  that  went  in  unto  him, 

31  preaching  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  teaching  the 
things  concerning  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  with  all

3  Concerning  his  son  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  "which  was 
^made  of  the  seed  of  Da'vid  according  to  the  flesh ; 

4  And  fdeclared  to  be  the  Son  of  God  with  power,  according 
*to  the  Spirit  of  holiness, by  the  resurrection  from  the  dead:

2  apostle,  separated  unto  the  gospel  of  God,  which  he 
promised  afore  ^by  his  prophets  in  the  holy  scriptures, 

3  concerning  his  son,  who  was  born  of  the  seed  of

14  "I  am  debtor  both  to  the  Greeks,  and  to  the  Barbarian.s ; 
both  to  the  wise,  and  to  the  unwise. 

15  So,  as  much  as  in  me  is,  I  am  ready  to  preach  the 
gospel  to  you  that  are  at  Rome  also. 

16  For  ''I  am  not  ashamed  of  the  gospel  of  Christ:  for 
'it  is  the  power  of  God  unto  salvation  to  every  one  that 
believeth;  ■'to  the  Jew  first,  and  also  to  the  Greek. 

17  For  "therein  is  the  righteousness  of  God  revealed  from 
faith  to  faith:  as  it  is  written,  *The  just  shall  live  by  faith, 

18  'For  the  wrath  of  God  is  revealed  from  heaven  against 
all  ungodliness  and  unrighteousness  of  men,  who  hold  the 
truth  in  unrighteousness ; 

19  Because  'that  which  may  be  known  of  God,  is  manifest 
II  in  them ;  for  'God  hath  shewed  it  unto  them. 

20  For  "'the  invisible  things  of  him  from  the  creation  of 
the  world  are  clearly  seen,  being  understood  by  the  things 
that  are  made,  even  his  eternal  power  and  Godhead;  ||so 
that  they  are  without  excuse : 

21  Becaure  that,  when  they  knew  God,  they  glorified  him 
not  as  God,  neither  were  thankful ;  but  "became  vain  in  their 
imaginations,  and  their  foolish  heart  was  darkened. 

22  "Professing  themselves  to  be  wise,  they  became  fools, 

23  And  changed  the  glory  of  the  uncorruptible  "God  into 
an  image  made  like  to  corruptible  man,  and  to  birds,  and 
fourfooted  beasts,  and  creeping  things. 

24  'Wherefore  God  also  gave  them  up  to  uncleanness, 
through  the  lusts  of  their  own  hearts,  ''to  dishonour  their 
own  bodies  'between  themselves: 

25  Who  changed  'the  truth  of  God  "into  a  lie,  and  wor- 
shipped and  served  the  creature  ||more  than  the  Creator, 
who  is  blessed  for  ever.     Amen, 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  them  up  unto  ''vile  afiections: 
for  even  their  women  did  change  the  natural  use  into  that 
which  is  against  nature: 

27  And  likewise  also  the  men,  leaving  the  natural  use 
of  the  Avomau,  burned  in  their  lust  one  toward  another; 
men  with  men  working  that  which  is  unseemly,  and  receiv- 
ing in  themselves  that  recompense  of  their  error  which  was 
meet. 

28  And  even  as  they  did  not  like  ||  to  retain  God  in  their 
knowledge,  God  gave  them  over  to  ||a  reprobate  mind,  to 
do  those  things  'which  are  not  convenient; 

29  Being  filled  with  all  unrighteousness,  fornication,  wick- 
edness, covetousness,  maliciousness;  full  of  envy,  murder, 
debate,  deceit,  malignity;  whisperers, 

30  Backbiters,  haters  of  God.  despiteful,  proud,  boasters, 
inventors  of  evil  things,  disobedient  to  parents, 

31  Without  understanding,  covenant-breakers,  ||  without 
natural  affection,  implacable,  unmerciful: 

32  Who,  "knowing  the  judgment  of  God,  that  they  which 
commit  such  things  'are  worthy  of  death,  not  only  do  the 
same,  but  H^have  pleasure  in  them  that  do  them. 

CHAPTER    II. 

The  Jews  who  sin  are  inexcusable, 

rPHEREFOREthou  arfinexcusable,  O  man,  whosoever  thou 
J-  artthatjudgest:''forwhereinthoujudgestanother,thou  con- 
demnest  thyself;  for  thou  that  judgest  doe.st  the  same  things, 

2  But  we  are  sure  that  the  judgment  of  God  is  according 
to  truth  against  them  which  commit  such  things. 

3  And  thinkest  thou  this,  O  man,  that  judgest  them  which 
do  such  things,  and  doest  the  same,  that  thou  shalt  escape 
the  judgment  of  God  ? 

4  Or  despisest  thou  "^the  riches  of  his  goodness  and  ''for- 
bearance and  'longsuffering;  ■'not  knowing  that  the  good- 
ness of  God  leadeth  thee  to  repentance? 

5  But,  after  thy  hardness  and  impenitent  heart,  'treasurest 
up  unto  thyself  wrath  against  the  day  of  wrath  and  revela- 
tion of  the  righteous  judgment  of  God; 

6  *Who  will  render  to  every  man  according  tft  his  deeds: 


14 1  am  debtor  both  to  Greeks  and  to  Barbarians,  both 

15  to  the  wise  and  to  the  foolish.  So,  as  much  as  in 
me  is,   I  am  ready  to  preach  the  gospel  to  you  also 

16  that  are  in  Rome,  For  I  am  not  ashamed  of  the 
gospel:  for  it  is  the  power  of  God  unto  salvation  to 
every  one  that  believeth ;  to  the  Jew  first,  and  also 

17  to  the  Greek.  For  therein  is  revealed  a  righteous- 
ness of  God  'by  faith  unto  faith :  as  it  is  written.  But 
the  righteous  shall  live  'by  faith. 

18  For  ^the  wrath  of  God  is  revealed  from  heaven 
'    against  all  ungodliness  and  unrighteousness  of  men, 

19  who  ^hold  down  the  truth  in  unrighteousness;  be- 
cause that  which  may  be  known  of  God  is  manifest 

20  in  them ;  for  God  manifested  it  unto  them.  For  the 
invisible  things  of  him  since  the  creation  of  the  world 
are  clearly  seen,  being  perceived  through  the  things 
that  are  made,  even  his  everlasting  power  and  divin- 

21  ity ;  ^that  they  may  be  without  excuse :  because  that, 
knowing  God,  they  glorified  him  not  as  God,  neither 
gave  thanks;  but  becanie  vain  in  their  reasonings, 

22  and  their  senseless  heart  was  darkened.     Professing 

23  themselves  to  be  wise,  they  becan.e  fools,  and  changed 
the  glory  of  the  incorruptible  God  for  the  likeness 
of  an  image  of  corruptible  man,  and  of  birds,  and 
fourfooted  beasts,  and  creeping  things. 

24  Wherefore  God  gave  them  up  in  the  lusts  of  their 
hearts  unto  uncleanness,  that  their  bodies  should  be 

25 dishonoured  among  themselves:  for  that  they  ex- 
changed the  truth  of  God  for  a  lie,  and  worshipped 
and  served  the  creature  rather  than  the  Creator,  who 
is  blessed  'for  ever.     Amen. 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  them  up  unto  'vile  pas- 
sions: for  their  women  changed  the  natural  use  into 

27  that  which  is  against  nature:  and  likewise  also  the 
men,  leaving  the  natural  use  of  the  woman,  burned 
in  their  lust  one  toward  another,  men  with  men 
working  unseemliness,  and  receiving  in  themselves 
that  recompense  of  their  error  v/hich  was  due. 

28  And  even  as  they  'refused  to  have  God  in  thnr 
knowledge,  God  gave  them  up  unto  a  reprobate  mind, 

29  to  do  those  things  which  are  not  fitting;  being  filled 
with  all  unrighteousness,  wickedness,  covetousnts.s, 
maliciousness ;    full  of  envy,  murder,  strife,  deceit, 

30  malignity ;  whisperers,  backbiters,  "hateful  to  God, 
insolent,  haughty,  boastful,  inventors  of  evil  things, 

31  disobedient  to  parents,  without  understanding,  cove- 
nant-breakers, without  natural  affection,  unmerciful : 

32  who,  knowing  the  ordinance  of  God,  that  they  which 
practise  such   things  are  worthy  of  death,  not  only 
do  the  same,  but  fdso  consent  with  them  that  prac 
tise  them. 

^  Wherefore  thou  art  without  excuse,  O  man,  who- 
soever thou  art  that  judgest:  for  wherein  thou  judg- 
est 'another,   thou    condemnest    thyself;    for    thou 

2  that  judgest  dost  practise  the  same  things.  '"And 
we  know  that  the  judgement  of  God  is  according 
to  truth   against   them    that    practise    such    things. 

3  And  reckonest  thou  this,  O  man,  who  judgest  them 
that  practise  such  things,  and  doest  the  same,  that 

4 thou  shalt  escape  the  judgement  of  God?  Or  de- 
spisest thou  the  riches  of  his  goodness  and  for- 
bearance and  longsuffering,    not  knowing  that   the 

5 goodness  of  God  leadeth  thee  to  repentance?  but 
after  thy  hardness  and  impenitent  heart  treasures! 
up  for  thyself  wrath  in  the  day  of  wrath  and  rev- 

6 elation  of  the  righteous  judgement  of  God;  who 
will  render  to  every  man  according  to  his  works:

7  To  them  who  by  patient  continuance  in  well  doing  seek 
for  glory  and  honour  and  immortality,  eternal  life  : 

8  But  unto  them  that  are  contentious,  and  *do  not  obey 
the  truth,  but  obey  unrighteousness,  indignation  and  wrath, 

9  Tribulation  and  anguish,  upon  every  soul  of  man  that 
doeth  evil ;  of  the  Jew  *first,  and  also  of  the  fGentile ; 

10  'But  glory,  honour,  and  peace,  to  every  man  that  work- 
eth  good;  to  the  Jew  first,  and  also  to  the  fGentile j 

11  For  ""there  is  no  respect  of  persons  with  God. 

12  For  as  many  as  have  sinned  without  law  shall  also 
perish  without  law :  and  as  many  as  have  sinned  ib  the  law 
shall  be  judged  by  the  law; 

13  (For  "not  the  hearers  of  the  law  are  just  before  God, 
but  the  doers  of  the  law  shall  be  justified. 

14  For  when  the  Gentiles,  which  have  not  the  law,  do  by 
nature  the  things  contained  in  the  law,  these,  having  not  the 
law,  are  a  law  unto  themselves : 

15  Which  shew  the  work  of  the  law  written  in  their 
hearts,  ||  their  conscience  also  bearing  witness,  and  their 
thoughts  1 1  the  mean  while  accusing,  or  else  ezcusing  one 
another ;) 

16  "In  the  day  when  God  shall  judge  the  secrets  of  men 
'by  Jesus  Christ  'according  to  my  gospel. 

17  Behold,  'thou  art  called  a  Jew,  and  'restest  in  the  law, 
'and  makest  thy  boast  of  God, 

18  And  "knowest  his  will,  and  H^approvest  the  things  that 
are  more  excellent,  being  instructed  out  of  the  law ; 

19  And  "art  confident  that  thou  thyself  art  a  guide  of  the 
blind,  a  light  of  them  which  are  in  darkness, 

20  An  instructor  of  the  foolish,  a  teacher  of  babes, 
•which  hast  the  form  of  knowledge  and  of  the  truth  in  the 
law. 

21  "Thou  therefore  which  teachest  another,  teachest  thou 
not  thyself?  thou  that  preachest  a  man  should  not  steal, 
dost  thou  steal? 

22  Thou  that  sayest  a  man  should  not  commit  adultery, 
dost  thou  commit  adultery  ?  thou  that  abhorrest  idols,  'dost 
thou  commit  sacrilege  ? 

23  Thou  that  "makest  thy  boast  of  the  law,  through  break- 
ing the  law  dishonourest  thou  God  ? 

24  For  the  name  of  God  is  blasphemed  among  the  Gen- 
tiles through  you,  as  it  is  "Vritten. 

25  'For  circumcision  verily  profiteth,  if  thou  keep  the 
law :  but  if  thou  be  a  breaker  of  the  law,  thy  circumcision 
is  made  uncircumoision. 

26  Therefore,  -^f  the  uncircumoision  keep  the  righteous- 
ness of  the  law,  shall  not  his  uncircumcision  be  counted  for 
circumcision  ? 

27  And  shall  not  uncircumcision  which  is  by  nature,  if  it 
fulfil  the  law,  "judge  thee,  who  by  the  letter  and  circum- 
cision dost  transgress  the  law  ? 

28  For  *he  is  not  a  Jew,  which  is  one  outwardly ;  neither 
ia  that  circumcision,  which  is  outward  in  the  flesh : 

29  But  he  i«  a  Jew,  Svhich  is  one  inwardly ;  and  *circum- 
cision  is  that  of  the  heart,  Hn  the  spirit,  and  not  in  the  letter ; 
"whose  praise  is  not  of  men,  but  of  God. 

CHAF>TER   III. 

The  Jews*  perogative^  &c. 

WHAT  advantage  then  hath  the  Jew?  or  what  profit  w 
there  of  circumcision  ? 

2  Much  every  way :  chiefly,  because  that  "unto  them  were 
committed  the  oracles  of  God. 

3  For  what  if  *some  did  not  believe?  'shall  their  unbelief 
make  the  faith  of  God  without  effect  ? 

4  ''God  forbid:  yea,  let  'God  be  true,  but  'every  man 
a  liar ;  as  it  is  written,  "That  thou  mightest  be  Justified 
in  thy  sayings,  and  mightest  overcome  when  tuou  art 
judged. 


7  to  them  that  by  patience  in  well-doing  seek  for 

8  glory  and  honour  and  incorruption,  eternal  life :  but 
unto  them  that  are  fiictious,  and  obey  not  the  truth, 
but  obey  unrighteousness,  shaU  he  wrath  and  in- 

9dignation,  tribulation  and  anguish,  upon  every  soul 

of  man  that  worketh  evil,  of  the  Jew  first,  and  also 

lOof  the  Greek;  but  glory  and  honour  and  peace  toevery 

man  that  worketh  good,  to  the  Jew  first,  and  also 

11  to  the  Greek:    for  there  is  no   respect  of  persons 

12  with  God.  For  as  many  as  have  sinned  without 
law  shall  also  perish  without  law:  and  as  many 
as  have  sinned  under  law  shall  be  judged  by  law; 

13  for  not  the  hearers  of  a  law  are  'just  before  God, 

14  but  the  doers  of  a  law  shall  be  ^justified :  for  when 
Gentiles  which  have  no  law  do  by  nature  the  things 
of  the  law,  these,  having  no  law,  are  a  law   unto 

15  themselves;  in  that  they  shew  the  work  of  the  law 
written  in  their  hearts,  their  conscience  bearing  wit- 
ness therewith,  and  their  thoughts  one  with  another 

16  accusing  or  else  excusing  ^hAv^;  in  the  day  when 
God  ^shall  judge  the  secrets  of  men,  according  to  my 
gospel,  by  Jesus  Christ. 

17  But  if  thou  bearest  the  name  of  a  Jew,  and  restest 

18  upon  Hhe  law,  and  gloriest  in  God,  and  knowest  'his 
will,  and  'approvest  the  things  that  are  excellent, 

19  being  instructed  out  of  the  law,  and  art  confident 
that  thou  thyself  art  a  guide  of  the  blind,  a  light 

20  of  them  that  are  in  darkness,  'a  corrector  of  the 
foolish,  a  teacher  of  babes,  having  in  the  law  the 

21  form  of  knowledge  and  of  the  truth ;  thou  therefore 
that  teachest  another,  teachest  thou  not  thyself? 
thou  that  preachest  a  man  should  not  steal,  dost  thou 

22 steal?  thou  that  sayest  a  man  should  not  commit 
adultery,  dost  thou  commit  adultery?  thou  that  ab- 

23  horrest  idols,  dost  'thou  'rob  temples  ?  thou  who  glo- 
riest in  'the  law,  through  thy  transgression  of  the 

24  law  dishonourest  thou  God  ?  For  the  name  of  God 
is  blasphemed  among  the  Gentiles  because  of  you, 

26  even  as  it  is  written.  For  circumcision  indeed 
profiteth,  if  thou  be  a  doer  of  the  law :  but  if  thou 
be    a  transgressor  of  the  law,  thy   circumcision  is 

26  become  uncircumcision.  If  therefore  the  uncircum- 
cision keep  the  ordinances  of  the  law,  shall  not  his 

27 uncircumcision  be  reckoned  for  circumcision?  and 
shall  not  the  uncircumcision  which  is  by  nature,  if 
it  fulfil  the  law,  judge  thee,  who  with  the  letter  and 

28 circumcision  art  a  transgressor  of  the  law?  For 
he  is  not  a  Jew,  which  is  one  outwardly ;  neither  is 

29  that  circumcision,  which  is  outward  in  the  flesh :  but 
he  is  a  Jew,  which  is  one  inwardly ;  and  circumcision 
is  that  of  the  heart,  in  the  spirit,  not  in  the  letter; 
whose  praise  is  not  of  men,  but  of  God. 

O     What  advantage  then  hath  the  Jew?  or  what  is 
2  the  profit  of  circumcision  ?    Much  every  way :  first 
of  all,  that  they  were  intrusted  with  the  oracles  of 
3 God.     For  what  if  some  were  without  faith?  shall 
their  want  of  faith  make  of  none  efleot  the  feithful- 
4nes8  of  God?    '"God  forbid:  yea,  let  God  be  found 
true,  but  every  man  a  liar ;  as  it  is  written, 
That  thou  mightest  be  justified  in  thy  words, 
And  mightest  prevail  when  thou  comest  into  judge' 
ment.

5  But  if  our  unrighteousness  commend  the  righteousness 
of  God,  what  shall  we  say  ?  Is  God  unrighteous  who  taketh 
vengeance  ?     (*!  speak  as  a  man.) 

6  God  forbid:  for  then  "how  shall  God  judge  the  world? 

7  For  if  the  truth  of  God  hath  more  abounded  through  my 
lie  unto  his  glory;  why  yet  am  I  also  judged  as  a  sinner? 

8  And  not  rather,  (as  we  be  slanderously  reported,  and  as 
some  affirm  that  we  say,)  *Let  us  do  evil,  that  good  may 
come?  whose  damnation  is  just. 

9  What  then  ?  are  we  better  than  they  f  No,  in  no  wise : 
for  we  have  before  fproved  both  Jews  and  Gentiles,  that 
'they  are  all  under  sin: 

10  As  it  is  written,  "There, is  none  righteous,  no,  not  one : 

11  There  is  none  that  understandeth,  there  is  none  that 
seeketh  after  God. 

12  They  are  all  gone  out  of  the  way,  they  are  together 
become  unprofitable;  there  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no, 
not  one. 

13  "Their  throat  is  an  open  sepulchre;  with  their  tongues 
they  have  used  deceit ;  "the  poison  of  asps  is  under  their  lips : 

14  "Whose  mouth  is  full  of  cursing  and  bitterness: 

15  'Their  feet  are  swift  to  shed  blood: 

16  Destruction  and  misery  are  in  their  ways: 

17  And  the  way  of  peace  have  they  not  known: 

18  ""There  is  no  fear  of  God  before  their  eyes. 

19  Now  we  know  that  what  things  soever  'the  law  scith, 
it  saith  to  them  who  are  under  the  law :  that  'every  mouth 
may  be  stopped,  and  "all  the  world  may  become  1|  guilty 
before  God. 

20  Therefore  'by  the  deeds  of  the  law  there  shall  no 
flesh  be  justified  in  his  sight :  for  "by  the  law  is  the  knowl- 
edge of  sin. 

21  But  'now  the  righteousness  of  God  without  the  law  is 
manifested,  "being  witnessed  by  the  law  'and  the  prophets ; 

22  Even  the  righteousness  of  God  which  is  "by  faith  of 
Jesus  Christ  unto  all  and  upon  all  them  that  believe;  for 
''there  is  no  difference : 

23  For  "all  have  sinned,  and  come  short  of  the  glory  of  God ; 

24  Being  justified  freely  -^jy  his  grace  'through  the  re- 
demption that  is  in  Christ  Jesus: 

25  Whom  God  hath  ||set  forth  *fo  be  a  propitiation, 
through  faith  'in  his  blood,  to  declare  his  righteousness  *for 
the  II  remission  of  'sins  that  arc  past,  through  the  forbear- 
ance of  God; 

26  To  declare,  /  say,  at  this  time  his  righteousness :  that 
he  might  be  just,  and  the  justifier  of  him  which  belie veth 
in  Jesus. 

27  "Where  is  boasting  then  ?  It  is  excluded.  By  what 
law  ?  of  works  ?     Nay ;  but  by  the  law  of  faith. 

28  Therefore  we  conclude  "that  a  man  is  justified  by  feith 
without  the  deeds  of  the  law. 

29  Is  he  the  God  of  the  Jews  only  ^  is  he  not  also  of  the 
Gentiles?     Yes,  of  the  Gentiles  also: 

30  Seeing  °it  is  one  God,  which  shall  justify  the  circum- 
cision by  faith,  and  uncircumcision  through  faith. 

31  Do  we  then  make  void  the  law  through  faith?  God 
forbid:  yea,  we  establish  the  law. 

CHAPTER    IV. 

Abraham  justified  by  faith. 

WHAT  shall  we  then  say  that  "A'bra-ham  our  father,  as 
pertaining  to  the  flesh,  hath  found  ? 

2  For  if  A'bra-ham  were  'justified  by  works,  he  hath 
whereof  to  glory ;  but  not  before  God. 

3  For  what  saith  the  Scripture  ?  "A'bra-ham  believed  God, 
and  it  was  counted  unto  him  for  righteousness. 

4  Now  to  him  that  worketh  is  the  reward  not  reckoned 
of  grace,  but  of  debt. 

5  But  to  him  that  worketh  not,  but  believeth  on  him  that 
justifieth  'the  ungodly,  his  faith  is  counted  for  righteousness. 


5  But  if  our  unrighteousness  commendeth  the  right- 
eousness of  God,  what  shall  we  say?  Is  God  un- 
righteous who  visiteth  with  wrath?  (I  speak   after 

6 the   manner  of  men.)     God   forbid:  for  then    how 

7 shall  God  judge  the  world?  'But  if  the  truth  of 
God  through  my  lie  abounded  unto  his   glory,  why 

Sam  I  also  still  judged  as  a  sinner?  and  why  not  (as 
we  be  slanderously  reported,  and  as  some  affirm  that 
we  say),  Let  us  do  evil,  that  good  may  come  ?  whose 
condemnation  is  just. 

9  What  then?  ^are  we  in  worse  case  than  they? 
No,  in  no  wise :  for  we  before  laid  to  the  charge  both 

10  of  Jews  and  Greeks,  that  they  are  all  under  sin ;  as 
it  is  written, 

There  is  none  righteous,  no,  not  one; 

11  There  is  none  that  understandeth. 
There  is  none  that  seeketh  after  God; 

12  They  have  all  turned  aside,  they  are  together  be 

come  unprofitable; 
There  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not  so  much  as  one 

13  Their  throat  is  an  open  sepulchre; 

With  their  tongues  they  have  used  deceit : 
The  poison  of  asps  is  under  their  lips : 

14  Whose  mouth  is  full  of  cursing  and  bitterness: 

15  Their  feet  are  swift  to  shed  blood; 

16  Destruction  and  misery  are  in  their  ways ; 

17  And  the  way  of  peace  have  they  not  known : 

18  There  is  no  fear  of  God  before  their  eyes. 

19  Now  we  know  that  what  things  soever  the  law 
saith,  it  speaketh  to  them  that  are  under  the  law ; 
that  every  mouth  may  be  stopped,  and  all  the  world 

20 may  be  brought  under  the  judgment  of  God :  be- 
cause ^by  Hhe  works  of  the  law  shall  no  flesh  be 
justified  in  his  sight:  for  'through  the  law  cometh 

21  the  knowledge  of  sin.  But  now  apart  from  the  law 
a  righteousness  of  God  hath  been  manifested,  being 

22 witnessed  by  the  law  and  the  prophets;  even  the 
righteousness  of  God  through  faith  'in  Jesus  Christ 
unto  all  'them  that  believe ;  for  there  is  no  distinc- 

23  tion ;  for  all  have  sinned,  and  fall  short  of  the  glory 

24 of  God;  being  justified  freely  by  his  grace  through 

25  the  redemption  that  is  in  Christ  Jesus :  whom  God 
'set  forth  ^"to  he  a  propitiation,  through  "faith,  by  his 
blood,  to  shew  his  righteousness,  because  of  the 
passing  over  of  the  sins  done  aforetime,  in  the  for- 

26  bearance  of  God ;  for  the  shewing,  I  say,  of  his 
righteousness  at  this  present  season :  that  he  might 
himself  be  "just,  and  the  '^justifier  of  him  that  "hath 

27  faith  'in  Jesus.  Where  then  is  the  glorying  ?  It  is  ex- 
cluded.    By  what  manner  of  law?  of  works?     Nay: 

28  but  by  a  law  of  faith.  "We  reckon  therefore  that  a 
man  is  justified  by  faith  apart  from  ^the  works  of  the 

29  law.     Or  is  God  the  God  of  Jews  only  ?  is  he  not  the 

30  God  of  Gentiles  also  ?  Yea,  of  Gentiles  also :  if  so  be 
that  God  is  one,  and  he  shall  justify  the  circumcision 

31  'by  faith,  and  the  uncircumcision  "through  faith.  Do 
we  then  make  "the  law  of  none  effect  "through 
faith  ?    God  forbid :  nay,  we  establish  "the  law. 

4*^  What  then  shall  we  say  "that  A'bra-ham,  our  fore- 
2  father  according  to  the  flesh,  hath  found?     For  if 

A'bra-ham  was  justified  'by  works,  he  hath  whereof 
3 to  glory;    but  not  toward   God.     For  what  saith 

the  scripture?     And   A'bra-ham  believed  God,  and 

4  it  was  reckoned  unto  him  for  righteousness.  Now 
to  him  that  worketh,  the  reward   is   not  reckoned 

5  as  of  grace,  but  as  of  debt.  But  to  him  that  work- 
eth not,  but  believeth  on  him  that  justifieth  the 
ungodly,  his    faith  is  reckoned  for   righteousness.

6  Even  as  Da'vicl  also  describeth  the  blessedness  of  the 
man,  unto  whom  God  imputeth  righteousness  without  works, 

7  Saying,  -^Blessed  are  they  whose  iniquities  are  forgiven, 
and  whose  sins  are  covered. 

8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the  Lord  will  not  impute  sin. 

9  Cometh  this  blessedness  then  upon  the  circumcision 
only,  or  upon  the  uncircumcision  also?  for  we  say  that 
feith  was  reckoned  to  A'bra-ham  for  righteousness. 

10  How  was  it  then  reckoned?  when  he  was  in  circum- 
cision, or  in  uncircumcision  ?  Not  in  circumcision,  but  in 
uncircumcision. 

11  And  "he  received  the  sign  of  circumcision,  a  seal  of  the 
righteousness  of  tlie  faith  which  he  had  yet  being  uncircum- 
cised  :  that  ''he  might  be  the  father  of  all  them  that  believe, 
though  they  be  not  circumcised;  that  righteousness  might 
be  imputed  unto  them  also ; 

12  And  the  father  of  circumcision  to  them  who  are  not  of 
the  circumcision  only,  but  who  also  walk  in  the  steps  of 
that  faith  of  our  father  A'bra-ham,  which  he  had  being  yet 
uncircumcised. 

13  For  the  promise,  that  he  should  be  the  '"heir  of  the 
world,  was  not  to  A'bra-ham,  or  to  his  seed,  through  the  law, 
but  through  the  righteousness  of  faith. 

14  For  *if  they  which  are  of  the  law  be  heirs,  faith  is  made 
void,  and  the  promise  made  of  none  effect : 

15  Because  'the  law  worketh  wrath:  for  where  no  law  is, 
there  is  no  transgression. 

16  Therefore  it  is  of  faith,  that  it  might  be  "by  grace;  "to 
the  end  the  promise  might  be  sure  to  all  the  seed ;  not  to 
that  only  which  is  of  the  law,  but  to  that  also  which  is  of 
the  faith  of  A'bra-ham ;  °who  is  the  father  of  us  all, 

17  (As  it  is  written,  "I  have  made  thee  a  father  of  many 
nations,)  ||  before  him  whom  he  believed,  e?;en  God,  «who 
quickeneth  the  dead,  and  calleth  those  'things  which  be  not 
as  though  they  were : 

18  Who  against  hope  believed  in  hope,  that  he  might  be- 
come the  father  of  many  nations,  according  to  that  which 
was  spoken,  'So  shall  thy  seed  be. 

19  And  being  not  weak  in  faith,  'he  considered  not  his 
own  body  now  dead,  when  he  was  about  a  hundred  years 
old,  neither  yet  the  deadness  of  Sa'rah's  womb ; 

20  He  staggered  not  at  the  promise  of  God  through  un- 
belief; but  was  strong  in  faith,  giving  glory  to  God ; 

21  And  being  fully  persuaded,  that  what  he  had  promised, 
"he  was  able  also  to  perform. 

22  And  therefore  it  was  imputed  to  him  for  righteousness. 

23  Now  'it  was  not  written  for  his  sake  alone,  that  it  was 
imputed  to  him ; 

24  But  for  us  also,  to  whom  it  shall  be  imputed,  if  we 
believe  "on  him  that  raised  up  Jesus  our  Lord  from  the 
dead; 

26  'Who  was  delivered  for  our  offences,  and  "was  raised 
again  for  our  justification. 

CHAPTER    V. 

Of  justification  by  faith. 

THEREFORE  "being  justified  by  faith,  we  have  'peace 
with  God  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ: 

2  'By  whom  also  we  have  access  by  faith  into  this  grace 
''wherein  we  stand,  and  "rejoice  in  hope  of  the  glory  of  God. 

3  And  not  only  «o,  but  Ave  glory  in  tribulations  also; 
'knowing  that  tribulation  worketh  patience ; 

4  *And  patience,  experience ;  and  experience,  hope : 

5  'And  nope  maketh  not  ashamed;  *because  the  love  of 
God  is  shed  abroad  in  our  hearts  by  the  Holy  Ghost  which 
is  given  unto  us. 

6  For  when  we  were  yet  without  strength,  ||  in  due  time 
'Christ  died  for  the  ungodly. 

7  For  scarcely  for  a  righteous  man  will  one  die :  yet  per- 
adventure  for  a  good  man  some  would  even  dare  to  die. 


6  Even  as  Da'vid  also  pronounceth  blessing  upon  the 
man,  unto  whom  God  reckoneth  righteousness  apart 

7  from  works,  saying, 

Blessed  are  they  whose  iniquities  are  forgiven. 
And  whose  sins  are  covered. 

8  Blessed    is  the    man   to  whom  the  Lord  will  not 

reckon  sin. 

9  Is  this  blessing  then  pronounced  upon  the  circum- 
cision, or  upon  the  uncircumcision  also  ?  for  we  say. 
To  A'bra-ham  his  faith  was  reckoned  for  righteous- 

lOness.  How  then  was  it  reckoned?  when  he  was  in 
circumcision,  or  in  uncircumcision?     Not  in  circum- 

llcision,  but  in  uncircumcision:  and  he  received  the 
sign  of  circumcision,  a'  seal  of  the  righteousness  of 
the  faith  which  he  had  while  he  was  in  uncircum- 
cision :  that  he  might  be  the  father  of  all  them  that 
believe,    though    they    be    in    uncircumcision,  that 

12 righteousness  might  be  reckoned  unto  them;  and 
the  father  of  circumcision  to  them  who  not  only  are 
of  the  circumcision,  but  who  also  walk  in  the  steps 
of  that  faith  of  our  father  A'bra-ham  which  he  had 

13  in  uncircumcision.  For  not  'through  the  law  was 
the  promise  to  A'bra-ham  or  to  his  seed,  that  he 
should  be  heir  of  the  world,  but  through  the  right- 

14eousness  of  faith.  For  if  they  which  are  of  the  law 
be   heirs,  faith  is   made   void,  and  the  promise    is 

15 made  of  none  effect:  for  the  law  worketh  wrath;  but 
where  there  is  no  law,  neither  is  there  transgression. 

16  For  this  cause  it  is  of  faith,  that  it  may  be  according 
to  grace;  to  the  end  that  the  promise  may  be  sure 
to  all  the  seed ;  not  to  that  only  which  is  of  the  law, 
but  to  that  also  which  is  of  the  faith  of  A-bra'ham, 

17  who  is  the  father  of  us  all  (as  it  is  written,  A  father 
of  many  nations  have  I  made  thee)  before  him  whom 
he  believed,  even  God,  who  quickeneth  the  dead, 
and  calleth  the  things  that  are  not,  as  though  they 

18  were.  Who  in  hope  believed  against  hope,  to'the 
end  that  he  might  become  a  father  of  many  nations, 
according  to  that  which  had  been  spoken.  So  shall 

19  thy  seed  be.  And  without  being  weakened  in  faith 
he  considered  his  own  body  ^now.  as  good  as  dead 
(he  being  about  a  hundred  years  old),  and  the  dead- 

20  ness  of  Sa'rah's  womb :  yea,  looking  unto  the  promise 
of  God,  he  wavered  not  through  unbelief,  but  waxed 

21  strong  through  faith,  giving  glory  to  God,  and  being 
fully  assured  that,  what  he  had  promised,  he  was 

22  able  also  to  perform.     Wherefore  also  it  was  reck- 
23oned  unto  him  for  righteousness.     Now  it  was  not 

written  for  his  sake  alone,  that  it  was  reckoned  unto 
24 him;  but  for  our  sake  also,  unto  whom  it  shall  be 

reckoned,  who  believe  on  him  that  raised  Jesus  our 
25  Lord  from  the  dead,  who  was  delivered  up  for  our 

trespasses,  and  was  raised  for  our  justification. 

0     Being  therefore  j  ustified  'by  faith,  ^let  us  have  peace 

2  with  God  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ ;  through 
whom  also  we  have  had  our  access  'by  faith  into  this 
grace  wherein    we    stand;    and   'let    us  'rejoice   in 

3  hope  of  the  glory  of  God.  And  not  only  so,  but  'let 
us  also  'rejoice  in  our  tribulations :  knowing  that  trib- 

4  ulation  worketh  patience ;  and  patience,  probation ; 

5  and  probation,  hope :  and  hope  putteth  not  to  shame ; 
because  the  love  of  God  hath  been  shed  abroad 
in  our  hearts  through  the  'Holy  Ghost  which  was 

6  given  unto  us.     For  while  we  were  yet  weak,  in  due

8  But  "Gocl  commendeth  his  love  toward  us,  in  that,  while 
we  were  yet  sinners,  Christ  died  for  us. 

9  Much  more  then,  being  now  justified  "by  his  blood,  we 
shall  be  saved  "from  wrath  through  him. 

10  For  "if,  when  we  were  enemies,  'we  M-ere  reconciled  to 
God  by  the  death  of  his  Son ;  much  more,  being  reconciled, 
we  shall  be  saved  ''by  his  life. 

11  And  not  only  so,  but  we  also  loy  in  God  through  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  by  whom  we  have  now  received  the 
II  atonement. 

12  Wherefore,  as  Tjy  one  man  sin  entered  into  the  world, 
and  "death  by  sin;  and  so  death  passed  upon  all  men,  ||for 
that  all  have  sinned: 

13  (For  until  the  law  sin  was  in  the  world:  but  "sin  is 
not  imputed  when  there  is  no  law. 

14  Nevertheless  death  reigned  from  Ad'am  to  Mo'ses,  even 
over  them  that  had  not  sinned  after  the  similitude  of  Ad'am's 
transgression,  "who  is  the  figure  of  him  that  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  offence,  so  also  is  the  free  gift:  for  if 
through  the  offence  of  one  many  be  dead,  much  more  the 

frace  of  God,  and  the  gift  by  grace,  which  is  by  one  man, 
esus  Christ,  hath  abounded  'unto  many. 

16  And  not  as  it  was  by  one  that  sinned,  so  is  the  gift: 
for  the  judgment  was  by  one  to  condemnation,  but  the  free 
gift  is  of  many  offences  unto  justification. 

17  For  if  II  by  one  man's  offence  death  reigned  by  one ;  much 
more  they  which  receive  abundance  of  grace  and  of  the  gift 
of  righteousness  shall  reign  in  life  by  one,  Jesus  Christ.) 

18  Therefore,  as  ||  by  the-  offence  of  one  judgment  came 
upon  all  men  to  condemnation;  even  so  ||by  the  righteous- 
ness of  one  the  free  gift  came  "upon  all  men  unto  justifica- 
tion of  life. 

19  For  as  by  one  man's  disobedience  many  were  made 
sinners,  so  by  the  obedience  of  one  shall  many  be  made 
righteous. 

20  Moreover  Hhe  law  entered,  that  the  offence  might  abound. 
But  where  sin  abounded,  grace  did  much  ''more  abound : 

21  That  as  sin  hath  reigned  unto  death,  even  so  might 
grace  reign  through  righteousness  unto  eternal  life  by  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

We  may  not  live  in  sin,  &c, 

WHAT  shall  we  say  then?    "Shall  we  continue  in  sin, 
that  grace  may  abound? 

2  God  forbid.  How  shall  we,  that  are  'dead  to  sin,  live 
any  longer  therein? 

3  Know  ye  not,  that  "so  many  of  us  as  ||  were  baptized  into 
Jesus  Christ  ''were  baptized  into  his  death  ? 

4  Therefore  we  are  'buried  with  him  by  baptism  into  death : 
that-^ike  as  Christ  was  raised  up  from  the  dead  by  "the  glory 
of  the  Father,  'even  so  we  also  should  walk  in  newness  of  life. 

5  'For  if  we  have  been  planted  together  in  the  likeness  of 
his  death,  we  shall  be  also  in  the  likeness  of  his  resurrection  : 

6  Knowing  this,  that  *our  old  man  is  crucified  with  him, 
that  'the  body  of  sin  might  be  destroyed,  that  henceforth 
we  should  not  serve  sin. 

7  For  ""he  that  is  dead  is  ffreed  from  sin. 

8  Now  "if  we  be  dead  with  Christ,  we  believe  that  we  shall 
also  live  with  him: 

9  Knowing  that  "Christ,  being  raised  from  the  dead,  dieth 
no  more ;  death  hath  no  more  dominion  over  him. 

10  For  in  that  he  died,  "he  died  unto  sin  once :  but  in  that 
he  liveth,  «he  liveth  unto  God. 

1 1  Likewise  reckon  ye  also  yourselves  to  be  'dead  indeed 
unto  sin,  but 'alive  unto  God  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

12  'Let  not  sin  therefore  reign  in  your  mortal  body,  that 
ye  should  obey  it  in  the  lusts  thereof. 

13  Neither  yield  ye  your  "members  as  finstruments  of 
unrighteousness  unto  sin :  but  ^yield  yourselves  unto  God, 


8  But  God  commendeth  his  own  love  toward  us,  in 
that,  while  we  were  yet  sinners,  Christ  died  for  us. 

9  Much  more  then,  being  now  justified  'by  his  blood, 
shall  we  be  saved  from  the  wrath  of  God  through 

10  him.  For  if,  while  we  were  enemies,  we  were  recon- 
ciled to  God  through  the  death  of  his  Son,  much 
more,  being  reconciled,  shall  we  be  saved   'by   his 

11  life;  and  not  only  so,  'but  we  also  rejoice  in  God 
through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  through  whom  we 
have  now  received  the  reconciliation. 

12  Therefore,  as  through  one  man  sin  entered  into 
the  world,  and  death  through   sin;    and    so   death 

13 passed  unto  all  men,  for  that  all  sinned: — for  until 
the  law  sin  was  in  the  world :  but  sin  is  not  imputed 

14  when  there  is  no  law.  Nevertheless  death  reigned 
from  Ad'am  until  Mo'ses,  even  over  them  that  had 
not  sinned  after  the  likeness  of  Ad'am's  transgression, 

16  who  is  a  figure  of  him  that  was  to  come.  But  not 
as  the  trespass,  so  also  is  the  free  gift.  For  if  by  the 
trespass  of  the  one  the  many  died,  much  more  did 
the  grace  of  God,  and  the  gift  by  the  grace  of  the 

16  one  man,  Jesus  Christ,  abound  unto  the  many.  And 
not  as  through  one  that  sinned,  so  is  the  gift:  for  the 
judgement  came  of  one  unto  condemnation,  but  the 
free  gift  came  of  many  trespasses  unto  justification. 

17  For  if,  by  the  trespass  of  the  one,  death  reigned 
through  the  one;  much  more  shall  they  that  receive 
the  abundance  of  grace  and  *of  the  gift  of  righteous- 
ness reign  in  life  through  the  one,  even  Jesus  Christ. 

18  So  then  as  through  one  trespass  the  judgement  came 
unto  all  men  to  condemnation ;  even  so  through  one 
act  of  righteousness  the  free  gift  came  unto  all  men 

19  to  justification  of  life.  For  as  through  the  one  man's 
disobedience  the  many  were  made  sinners,  even  so 
through  the  obedience  of  the  one  shall  the  many  be 

20  made  righteous.  And  Hhe  law  came  in  beside,  that  the 
trespass  might  abound ;  but  where  sin  abounded,  grace 

21  did  abound  more  exceedingly :  that,  as  sin  reigned  in 
death,  even  so  «night  grace  reign  through  righteous- 
ness unto  eternal  life  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

V     What  shall  we  say  then?     Shall  we  continue  in 

2 sin,  that  grace  may  abound?  God  forbid.  We 
who   died   to    sin,   how  shall  we  any   longer    live 

3  therein  ?  Or  are  ye  ignorant  that  all  we  who  were 
baptized  into  Christ  Jesus  were  baptized  into  his 

4 death?  We  were  buried  therefore  with  him  through 
baptism  into  death :  that  like  as  Christ  was  raised 
from  the  dead  through  the  glory  of  the  Father,  so 

5  we  also  might  walk  in  newness  of  life.  For  if  we 
have  become  'united  with  him  by  the  likeness  of 
his  death,  we  shall  be  also  by  the  likeness  of  his  resur- 

6rection;  knowing  this,  that  our  old  man  was  cruci- 
fied with  him,  that  the  body  of  sin  might  be  done 
away,  that  so  we  should  no  longer  be  in  bondage  to 

7  sin ;    for  he  that    hath  died  is   justified   from    sin. 

8  But  if  we  died  with  Christ,  we  believe  that  we  shall 

9  also  live  with  him ;  knowing  that  Christ  being 
raised  from  the  dead  dieth  no  more;  death  no  more 

10  hath  dominion  over  him.  For  'the  death  that  he 
died,  he  died  unto  sin   *once:  but  'the  life  that  he 

11  liveth,  he  liveth  unto  God.  Even  so  reckon  ye  also 
yourselves  to  be  dead  unto  sin,  but  alive  unto  God 
in  Christ  Jesus. 

12  Let  not  sin  therefore  reign  in  your  mortal  body, 

13  that  ye  should  obey  the  lusts  thereof:  neither  pre- 
sent your  members  unto  sic  as  'instruments  of  un- 
righteousness;   but   present   yourselves  unto    God,

as  those  that  are  alive  from  the  dead,  and  your  members  as 
instruments  of  righteousness  unto  God. 

14  For  "sin  shall  not  have  dominion  over  you :  for  ye  are 
not  under  the  law,  but  under  grace. 

15  What  then?  shall  we  sin, 'because  we  are  not  under  the 
law,  but  under  grace  ?    God  forbid. 

16  Know  ye  not,  that  "to  whom  ye  yield  yourselves  serv- 
ants to  obey,  his  servants  ye  are  to  whom  ye  obey ;  whether 
of  sin  unto  death,  or  of  obedience  unto  righteousness  ? 

17  But  God  be  thanked,  that  ye  were  the  servants  of  sin ; 
but  ye  have  obeyed  from  the  heart  'that  form  of  doctrine 
f  which  was  delivered  you. 

18  Being  then  "made  free  from  sin,  ye  became  the  servants 
of  righteousness. 

19  I  speak  after  the  manner  of  men  because  of  the  in- 
firmity of  your  flesh :  for  as  ye  have  yielded  your  members 
servants  to  uncleanness  and  to  iniquity  unto  iniquity ;  even 
so  now  yield  your  members  servants  to  righteousness  unto 
holiness. 

20  For  when  ye  were  ''the  servants  of  sin,  ye  were  free 
ffrom  righteousness. 

21  'What  fruit  had  ye  then  in  those  things  whereof  ye  are 
now  ashamed  ?  for  -the  end  of  thofse  things  ia  death. 

22  But  now  'being  made  free  from  sin,  and  become  serv- 
ants to  .God,  ye  have  your  fruit  unto  holiness,  and  the  end 
everlasting  life. 

23  For  *the  wages  of  sin  is  death ;  but  the  gift  of  God  ia 
eternal  life  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

The   law  kath   power  only  during  life. 

KNOW  ye  not,  brethren,  (for  I  speak  to  them  that  know 
the  law,)  how  that  the  law  hath  dominion  over  a  man 
as  long  as  he  liveth  ? 

2  For  *the  woman  which  hath  a  husband  is  bound  by  the 
law  to  her  husband  so  long  as  he  liveth ;  but  if  the  husband 
be  dead,  she  is  loosed  from  the  law  of  her  husband. 

3  So  then  'if,  while  her  husband  liveth,  she  be  married  to 
another  man,  she  shall  be  called  an  adulteress :  but  if  her 
husband  be  dead,  she  is  free  from  that  law,  so  that  she  is  no 
adulteress,  though  she  be  married  to  another  man. 

4  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  ye  also  are  become  "dead  to  the 
law  by  the  body  of  Christ  j  that  ye  should  be  married  to 
another,  even  to  him  who  is  raised  from  the  dead,  that  we 
should  ''bring  forth  fruit  unto  God. 

6  For  when  we  were  in  the  flesh,  the  f  motions  of  sins, 
which  were  by  the  law,  'did  work  in  our  members  'to  bring 
forth  fruit  unto  death  : 

6  But  now  we  are  delivered  from  the  law,  ||  that  being 
dead  wherein  we  were  held :  that  we  should  serve  'in  new- 
ness of  spirit,  and  not  in  the  oldness  of  the  letter. 

7  What  shall  we  say  then ?  /«  the  law  sin?  God  forbid. 
Nay,  *I  had  not  known  sin,  but  by  the  law:  for  I  had  not 
known  ||  lust,  except  the  law  had  said,  'Thou  shalt  not  covet. 

8  But  *.sin,  taking  occasion  by  the  commandment,  wrought 
in  me  all  manner  of  concupiscence.  For  'without  the  law 
sin  was  dead. 

9  For  I  was  alive  without  the  law  once :  but  when  the  com- 
mandment came,  sin  revived,  and  I  died. 

10  And  the  commandment,  "which  was  ordained  to  life,  I 
found  to  he  unto  death. 

11  For  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the  commandment,  deceived 
me,  and  by  it  slew  me. 

12  Wherefore  the  law  m  holy,  and  the  commandment 
holy,  and  just,  and  good. 

13  Was  then  that  which  is  good  made  death  unto  me? 
God  forbid.  But  sin,  that  it  might  appear  sin,  working 
death  in  me  by  that  which  is  good;  that  sin  by  the  com- 
mandment might  become  exceemng  sinful. 


as  alive  from  the  dead,  and  your  members  as  •instru- 
14ments  of  righteousness  unto  God.     For  sin  shall  not 
have  dominion  over  you :  for  ye  are  not  under  law, 
but  under  grace. 

15  What  then?  shall  we   sin,  because   we    are   not 

16  under  law,  but  under  grace?  God  forbid.  Know 
ye  not,  that  to  whom  ye  present  yourselves  as  ^serv- 
ants unto  obedience,  his  ^servants  ye  are  whom  ye 
obey ;   whether  of  sin  unto  death,  or  of  obedience 

17 unto  righteousness?  But  thanks  be  to  God,  Hhat, 
whereas  ye  were  ^servants  of  sin,  ye  became  obedi- 
ent from  the  heart  to  that  *form  of  teaching  where- 

18  unto  ye  were  delivered ;  and  being  made  free  from 

19  sin,  ye  became  'servants  of  righteousness.     I  speak 
after  the  manner  of  men  because  of  the  infirmity  of 
your  flesh :  for  as  ye  presented  your  members  as 
servants  to  uncleanness  and  to  iniquity  unto  iniq 
uity,  even  so  now  present  your  members  as  servants 

20  to  righteousness  unto  sanctifi cation.  For  when  ye 
were  'servants  of  sin,  ye  were  free  in  regard  of 

21  righteousness.  What  fruit  then  had  ye  at  that  time 
in  the  things  whereof  ye  are  now  ashamed  ?  for  the 

22  end  of  those  things  is  death.  But  now  being  made 
free  from  sin,  and  become  servants  to  God,  ye  have 
your  fruit  unto  sanctification,  and  the  end  eternal 

23  life.  For  the  wages  of  sin  is  death  ;  but  the  free  gift 
of  God  is  eternal  life  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord. 

♦  Or  are  ye  ignorant,  brethren  (for  I  speak  to  men 
that  know  the  law),  how  that  the  law  hath  domin 

2  ion  over  a  man  for  so  long  time  as  he  liveth  ?  For 
the  woman  that  hath  a  husband  is  bound  by  law  to 
the  husband  while  he  liveth;  but  if  the  husband 
die,  she  is  discharged  from  the  law  of  the  husband 

3  So  then  if,  while  the  husband  liveth,  she  be  joined 
to  another  man,  she  shall  be  called  an  adulteress 
but  if  the  husband  die,  she  is  free  from  the  law,  so 
that  she  is  no  adulteress,  though  she  be  joined  to 

4  another  man.  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  ye  also 
were  made  dead  to  the  law  through  the  body  of 
Christ;  that  ye  should  be  joined  to  another,  even 
to  him  who  was  raised  from  the  dead,  that  we  might 

5  bring  forth  fruit  unto  God.  For  when  we  were  in 
the  flesh,  the  *sinful  passions,  which  were  through 
the  law,  wrought  in  our  members  to  bring  forth 

6  fruit  unto  death.  But  now  we  have  been  discharged 
from  the  law,  having  died  to  that  wherein  we  were 
holden ;  so  that  we  serve  in  newness  of  the  spirit,  and 
not  in  oldness  of  the  letter. 

7  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is  the  law  sin?  God 
forbid.  Howbeit,  I  had  not  known  siuj  except 
through  *the  law:  for  I  had  not  known  ^coveting, 
except  the  law  had  said.  Thou  shalt  not    covet: 

8  but  sin,  finding  occasion,  wrought  in  me  through 
the  commandment  all  manner  of 'coveting:  for  ajjart 

9  from  *the  law  sin  is  dead.  And  I  was  alive  apart 
from  *the  law  once:  but   when  the  commandment 

10  came,  sin  revived,  and  I  died ;  and  the  command- 
ment, which  was  unto  life,  this  I  found  to  be  unto 

11  death:   for  sin,  finding  occasion,  through  the  com- 

12  mandment  beguiled  me,  and  through  it  slew  me.  So 
that  the  law  is  holy,  and  the  commandment  holy,  and 

13  righteous,  and  good.  Did  then  that  which  is  good 
become  death  unto  me?  God  forbid.  But  sin,  that 
it  might  be  show:   to  be  sin,  by  working  death  to 

,  me  through  that  which  is  good ; — ^that  through  the 
commandment  sin  might  become  exceeding  sinful.

14  For  we  know  that  the  law  is  spiritual :  but  I  am  carnal, 
"sold  under  sin. 

15  For  that  which  I  do,  I  fallow  not:  for  "what  I  would, 
that  do  I  not ;  but  what  I  hate,  that  do  I. 

16  If  then  I  do  that  which  I  would  not,  I  consent  unto 
the  law  that  it  is  good. 

17  Now  then  it  is  no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  that 
dwelleth  in  me. 

18  For  I  know  that  »in  me  (that  is,  in  my  flesh,)  dwelleth 
no  good  thing:  for  to  will  is  present  with  me;  but  how  to 
perform  that  which  is  good  I  find  not. 

19  For  the  good  that  I  would,  I  do  not;  but  the  evil 
which  I  would  not,  that  I  do. 

20  Now  if  I  do  that  I  would  not,  it  is  no  more  I  that  do 
it,  but  sin  that  dwelleth  in  me. 

21  I  find  then  a  law,  that,  when  I  would  do  good,  evil  is 
present  with  me. 

22  For  I  ''delight  in  the  law  of  God  after  'the  inward  man : 

23  But  'I  see  another  law  in  "my  members,  warring 
against  the  law  of  my  mind,  and  bringing  me  into  captiv- 
ity to  the  law  of  sin  which  is  in  my  members. 

24  O  wretched  man  that  I  ami  who  shall  deliver  me  from 
1 1  the  body  of  this  death? 

25"  I  thank  God  through  Jesus  Chr^t  our  Lord.  So  then 
with  the  mind  I  myself  serve  the  law  of  God ;  but  with  the 
flesh  the  law  of  sin. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

IVAo  are  free  from  condemnation. 

'/  ^HERE  is  therefore  now  no  condemnation  to  them 
-*  which  are  in  Christ  Jesus,  who  "walk  not  after  the 
flesh,  but  after  the  Spirit. 

2  For  'the  law  of  "^the  Spirit  of  life  in  Christ  Jesus  hath 
made  me  free  from  ''the  law  of  sin  and  death. 

3  For  'what  the  law  could  not  do,  in  that  it  was  weak 
through  the  flesh,  -^^God  sending  his  own  Son  in  the  likeness 
of  sinful  flesh,  and  1|  for  sin,  condemned  sin  in  the  flesh : 

4  That  the  righteousness  of  the  law  might  be  fulfilled  in 
us,  "who  walk  not  after  the  flesh,  but  after  the  Spirit. 

5  For*they  that  are  after  the  flesh  do  mind  the  things  of  the 
flesh ;  but  they  that  are  after  the  Spirit, 'the  things  of  the  Spirit. 

6  For  *tto  be  carnally  minded  is  death ;  but  fto  be  spiritu- 
ally minded  is  life  and  peace. 

7  Because  f'the  carnal  mind  is  enmity  against  God :  for 
it  is  not  subject  to  the  law  of  God,  ""neither  indeed  can  be. 

8  So  then  they  that  are  in  the  flesh  cannot  please  God. 

9  But  ye  are  not  in  the  flesh,  but  in  the  Spirit,  if  so  be 
that  "the  Spirit  of  God  dwell  in  you.  Now  if  any  man 
have  not  "the  Spirit  of  Christ,  he  is  none  of  his. 

10  And  if  Christ  be  in  you,  the  body  is  dead  because  of 
sin ;  but  the  Spirit  is  life  because  of  righteousness. 

11  But  if  the  Spirit  of  "him  that  raised  up  Jesus  from  the  dead 
dwell  in  you,  "he  that  raised  up  Christ  from  the  dead  shall  also 
quicken  your  mortal  bodies  H  by  hisSpirit  that  dwelleth  in  you. 

12  'Therefore,  brethren,  we  are  debtors,  not  to  the  flesh, 
to  live  after  the  flesh. 

13  For  'if  ye  live  after  the  flesh,  ye  shall  die:  but  if  ye 
through  the  Spirit  do  'mortify  the  deeds  of  the  body,  ye 
shall  live. 

14  For  "as  many  as  are  led  by  the  Spirit  of  God,  they  are 
the  sons  of  God. 

15  For  'ye  have  not  received  the  spirit  of  bondage  again 
"to  fear;  but  ye  have  received  the  'Spirit  of  adoption, 
whereby  we  cry,  "Abba,  Father. 

16  'The  Spirit  itself  beareth  witness  with  our  spirit,  that 
we  are  the  children  of  God : 

17  And  if  children,  then  heirs:  'heirs  of  God,  and  joint 
heirs  with  Christ;  ''if  so  be  that  we  suiFer  with  him,  that 
we  may  be  also  glorified  together. 

18  For  I  reckon  that  'the  suflerings  of  this  present  time 


14 For  we  know  that  the  law  is  spiritual:  but  I  am 
15  carnal,  sold  under   sin,     For   that   which  I  'do  I 

know  not:  for  not  what  I  would,  that  do  I  prac- 
16tise;  but  what  I  hate,  that  I  do.     But  if  what  I 

would  not,  that  I  do,  I  consent  unto  the  law  that  it 

17  is  good.     So  now  it  is  no  more  I  that  'do  it,  but 

18  sin  which  dwelleth  in  me.  For  I  know  that  in  me, 
that  is,  in  my  flesh,  dwelleth  no  good  thing:  for 
to  will  is  present  with  me,  but  to  'do  that  which 

19  is  good  is  not.  For  the  good  which  I  would  I  do  not : 
but   the   evil  which  I  would  not,  that  I  practise. 

20  But  if  what  I  would  not,  that  I  do,  it  is  no  more 
21 1  that  'do  it,  but  sin  which  dwelleth  in  me.     I  find 

then  h\xQ  law,  that,  to  me  who  would  do  good,  evil 

22  is  present.     For  I  delight  'in  the  law  of  God  after 

23  the  inward  man :  but  I  see  a  difiereni  law  in  my 
members,  warring  against  the  law  of  my  mind,  and 
bringing  me  into  captivity  ^under  the  law  of  sin 

24  which  is  in  my  members.  O  wretched  man  that  1 
am  I  who  shall  deliver  me  out  of  *the  body  of  this 

25 death?  'I  thank  God  through  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.  So  then  I  myself  with  the  mind  serve  the 
law  of  God ;  but  with  the  flesh  the  law  of  sin. 

^     There  is  therefore  now  no  condemnation  to  them 

2  that  are  in  Christ  Jesus.  For  the  law  of  the  Spirit 
of  life  in  Christ  Jesus  made  me  free  from  the  law  of 

3  sin  and  of  death.  For  what  the  law  could  not  do, 
'in  that  it  was  weak  through  the  flesh,  God,  sending 
his  own  Son  in  the  likeness  of  ^sinful  flesh  'and  as 

A  an  offering  for  sin,  condemned  sin  in  the  flesh:  that 
the  '"ordinance  of  the  law  might  be  fulfilled  in  us, 
who  walk  not  after  the  flesh,  but  after  the  spirit, 

5  For  they  that  are  after  the  flesh  do  mind  the  things 
of  the  flesh ;  but  they  that  are  after  the  spirit  the 

6  things  of  the  spirit.  For  the  mind  of  the  flesh  is 
death ;  but  the  mind  of  the  spirit  is  life  and  peace 

7  because  the  mind  of  the  flesh  is  enmity  against  God ; 
for  it  is  not  subject  to  the  law  of  God,  neither  indeed 

Scan  it  be:  and  they  that  are  in  the  flesh  cannot 
9  please  God.     But  ye  are  not  in  the  flesh,  but  in  the 
spirit,  if  so  be  that  the  Spirit  of  God  dwelleth  in  you 
But  if  any  man  hath  not  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  he  is 

10  none  of  his.  And  if  Christ  is  in  you,  the  body  is 
dead  because  of  sin ;  but  the  spirit  is  life  because  of 

11  righteousness.  But  if  the  Spirit  of  him  that  raised 
up  Jesus  from  the  dead  dwelleth  in  you,  he  that 
raised  up  Christ  Jesus  from  the  dead  shall  quicken 
also  your  mortal  bodies  "through  his  Spirit  that 
dwelleth  in  you. 

12  So  then,  brethren,  we  are  debtors,  not  to  the  flesh, 

13  to  live  after  the  flesh :  for  if  ye  live  after  the  flesh, 
ye  must  die;  but  if  by  the  spirit  ye  '^mortify  the 

14 'Meeds  of  the  body,  ye  shall  live.  For  as  many  as 
are  led  by  the  Spirit  of  God,  these  are  sons  of  God. 

15  For  ye  received  not  the  spirit  of  bondage  again  unto 
fear;  but  ye  received  the  spirit  of  adoption,  whereby 

16  we  cry,  Abba,  Father.  The  Spirit  himself  beareth 
witness  with  our  spirit,  that  we  are  children  of  God : 

17 and  if  children,  then  heirs;  heirs  of  God,  and  joint- 
heirs  with  Christ ;  if  so  be  that  we  sufier  with  him, 
that  we  may  be  also  glorified  with  him. 

18     For  I  reckon  that  the  sufferings  of  this  present  time

are  not  wortny  to  be  compared  with  the  glory  which  shall  be 
revealed  in  us. 

19  For-'^the  earnest  expectation  of  the  creature  waiteth  for 
the  "manifestation  of  the  sons  of  God. 

20  For  'the  creature  was  made  subject  to  vanity,not  willing- 
ly, but  by  reason  of  him  who  hath  subjected  the  same  in  hope ; 

21  Because  the  creature  itself  also  shall  be  delivered  from 
the  bondage  of  corruption  into  the  glorious  liberty  of  the 
children  of  God. 

22  For  we  know  that  ||the  whole  creation  'groaneth  and 
travaileth  in  pain  together  until  now. 

23  And.not  only<Aei/,butourselvesalso,whichhave*the first- 
fruits  of  the  Spirit,  'even  we  ourselves  groan  within  ourselves, 
'"waiting  for  the  adoption,  to  wit,  the  "redemption  of  our  body. 

24  For  we  are  saved  by  hope :  but  "hope  that  is  seen,  is 
not  hope :  for  what  a  man  seeth,  why  doth  he  yet  hope  for  ? 

25  But  if  we  hope  for  that  we  see  not,  then  do  we  with 
patience  wait  for  it. 

26  Likewise  the  Spirit  also  helpeth  our  infirmities:  for 'we 
know  not  what  we  should  pray  for  as  we  ought :  but  "the 
Spirit  itself  maketh  intercession  for  us  with  groanings  which 
can  not  be  uttered. 

27  And  'he  that  searcheth  the  hearts  knoweth  what  is  the 
mind  of  the  Spirit,  ||  becau.se  he  maketh  intercession  for  the 
saints  'according  to  the  will  of  God. 

28  And  we  know  that  all  things  work  together  for  good 
to  them  that  love  God,  to  them  'who  are  the  called  accord- 
ing to  his  purpose. 

29  For  whom  "he  did  foreknow,  "he  also  did  predestinate 
"to  be  conformed  to  the  image  of  his  Son,  "that  he  might  be 
the  firstborn  among  many  brethren. 

30  Moreover,  whom  did  he  predestinate,  them  he  also 
"called:  and  whom  he  called,  them  he  also  'justified:  and 
whom  he  justified,  them  he  also  'glorified. 

31  What  shall  we  then  say  to  these  things?  ''If  God  be 
for  us,  who  can  be  against  us  ? 

32  'He  that  spared  not  his  ownSon,but''^delivered  him  up  for 
us  all,  how  shall  he  not  with  him  also  freely  give  us  all  things? 

33  Who  shall  lay  any  thing  to  the  charge  of  God's  elect? 
'It  is  God  that  justifieth. 

34  *Who  is  he  that  condemneth  ?  It  is  Christ  that  died, 
yea  rather,  that  is  risen  again,  'who  is  even  at  the  right 
hand  of  God,  *who  also  maketh  intercession  for  us. 

35  Who  shall  separate  us  from  the  love  of  Christ?  shall 
tribulation,  or  distress,  or  persecution,  or  famine,  or  naked- 
ness, or  peril,  or  sword? 

36  As  it  is  written,  'For  thy  sake  we  are  killed  all  the  day 
long;  we  are  accounted  as  sheep  for  the  slaughter. 

37  "Nay,  in  all  these  things  we  are  more  than  conquerors 
through  him  that  loved  us. 

38  For  I  am  persuaded,  that  neither  death,  nor  life,  nor 
angels,  nor  "principalities,  nor  powers,  nor  things  present, 
nor  things  to  come, 

39  Nor  height,  nor  depth,  nor  any  other  creature,  shall  be 
able  to  separate  us  from  the  love  of  God,  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesus  our  Lord. 

CHAPTER    IX. 

Tke  calling  of  the  Gentiles. 

I  "SAY  the  truth  in  Christ,  I  lie  not,  my  conscience  also 
bearing  me  witness  in  the  Holy  Ghost, 

2  ""That  I  have  great  heaviness  and  continual  sorrow  in 
my  heart. 

3  For  'I  could  wish  that  myself  were  ||  accursed  from 
Christ  for  my  brethren,  my  kinsmen  according  to  the  flesh : 

4  ''Who  are  Is'ra-el-ites ;  "to  v/hom  pertaineth  the  adoption, 
and  •''the  glory,  and  'the  ||  covenants,  and  ''the  giving  of  the 
law,  and  'the  service  of  God,  and  *the  promises ; 

5  'Whose  are  the  fathers,  and  "of  whom  as  concerning  the 
flesh  Christ  came,"who  is  over  all,  God  blessed  for  ever.  Amen. 


are  not  worthy  to  be  compared  with  the  glory  which 

19  shall  be  revealed  to  us- ward.  For  the  earnest  ex- 
pectation of  the  creation  waiteth  for  the  revealing  of 

20  the  sons  of  God.  For  the  creation  was  subjected  to 
vanity,  not  of  its  OM-n  will,  but  by  reason  of  him  who 

21  subjected  it,  'in  hope  that  the  creation  itself  also 
shall  be  delivered  from  the  bondage  of  corruption 
into  the  liberty  of  the  glory  of  the  children  of  God. 

22  For  we  know  that  the  whole  creation  groaneth  and 

23  travaileth  in  pain  ^together  until  now.  And  not 
only  so,  but  ourselves  also,  which  have  the  first- 
fruits  of  the  Spirit,  even  Ave  ourselves  groan  within 
ourselves,  waiting  for  our  adoption,  to  wit,  the  re- 

24  demption  of  our  body.  For  by  hope  were  we  saved : 
but  hope  that  is  seen  is  not  hope :  'for  who  ^opeth 

25 for  that  which  he  seeth?  But  if  we  hope  for  that 
which  we  see  not,  then  do  we  with  patience  M'ait 
for  it. 

26  And  in  like  manner  the  Spirit  also  helpeth  our 
infirmity :  for  we  know  not  how  to  pray  as  we 
ought;   but  the  Spirit  himself  maketh   intercession 

27  for  ws  with  groanings  which  cannot  be  uttered ;  and 
he  that  searcheth  the  hearts  knoweth  what  is  the 
mind  of  the  Spirit,  'because  he  maketh  intercession 

28  for  the  saints  according  to  the  will  of  God.  And 
we  know  that  to  them  that  love  God  ^all  things  work 
together  for  good,  even  to  them  that  are  called  ac- 

29  cording  to  his  purpose.  For  whom  he  foreknew,  he 
also  foreordained  to  be  conformed  to  the  image  of 
his  Son,  that  he  might  be  the  firstborn  among  many 

SObrethren:  and  whom  he  foreordained,  them  he  also 
called :  and  whom  he  called,  them  he  also  justified : 
and  whom  he  justified,  them  he  also  glorified. 

31     What  then  shall  we  say  to  these  things  ?     If  God 

32 ts  for  us,  who  is  against  us?  He  that  spared  not  his 
own  Son,  but  delivered  him  up  for  us  all,  how  shall 

33  he  not  also  with  him  freely  give  us  all  things  ?  Who 
shall  lay  anything  to  the  charge  of  God's  elect?  'It 

34 is  God  that  justifieth;  who  is  he  that  shall  con- 
demn? *It  is  Christ  Jesus  that  died,  yea  rather, 
that  was  raised  from  the  dead,  who  is  at  the  right 
hand  of  God,  who  also  maketh  intercession  for  us. 

35 Who  shall  separate  us  from  the  love  'of  Christ? 
shall    tribulation,   or  anguish,    or    persecution,   or 

36  famine,  or  nakedness,  or  peril,  or  sword  ?  Even  as 
it  is  written, 

For  thy  sake  we  are  killed  all  the  day  long; 
We  were  accounted  as  sheep  for  the  slaughter. 

37  Nay,  in  all  these  things  we  are  more  than  conquerors 

38  through  him  that  loved  us.  For  I  am  persuaded, 
that  neither  death,  nor  life,  nor  angels,  nor  princi- 
palities, nor  things  present,  nor  things  to  come,  nor 

39  powers,  nor  height,  nor  depth,  nor  any  other  '"crea- 
ture, shall  be  able  to  separate  us  from  the  love  of 
God,  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord.

6  "Not  as  though  the  word  of  God  hath  taken  none  effect. 
For  "they  are  not  all  Is'ra-el,  which  are  of  Is'ra-el : 

7  'Neither,  because  they  are  the  seed  of  A'bra-ham,  are  they 
all  children :  but,  In  ''I'saac  shall  thy  seed  be  called. 

8  That  is,  They  which  are  the  children  of  the  flesh,  these 
are  not  the  children  of  God :  but  'the  children  of  the  promise 
are  counted  for  the  seed. 

9  For  this  is  the  word  of  promise,  'At  this  time  will  I  come, 
and  Sa'rah  shall  have  a  son. 

10  And  not  only  this;  but  when  "Re-bec'ca  also  had  con- 
ceived by  one,  even  by  our  father  I'saac, 

11  (For  the  children  being  not  yet  born,  neither  having  done 
any  good  or  evil,  that  the  purpose  of  God  according  to  elec- 
tion might  stand,  not  of  works,  but  of  ""him  that  calleth;) 

12  It  was  said  unto  her,  "The  ||elder  shall  serve  the  ||  younger. 

13  As  it  is  written,  'Ja'cob  have  I  .loved,  but  E'sau  have 
I  hated. 

14  What  shall  we  say  then?  "Is  there  unrighteousness 
with  God?     God  forbid. 

15  For  he  saith  to  Mo'ses,  'I  will  have  mercy  on  whom  I 
will  have  mercy,  and  I  will  have  compassion  on  whom  I 
will  have  compassion. 

16  So  then  it  is  not  of  him  that  willeth,  nor  of  him  that 
runneth,  but  of  God  that  sheweth  mercy. 

17  For  "the  Scripture  saith  unto  Pha'raoh,  ""Even  for  this 
same  purpose  have  I  raised  thee  up,  that  I  might  shew  my 
power  in  thee,  and  that  my  name  might  be  declared  through- 
out all  the  earth. 

18  Therefore  hath  he  mercy  on  whom  he  will  have  mercy, 
and  whom  he  will  he  hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then  unto  me.  Why  doth  he  yet  find 
fault?     For  "who  hath  resisted  his  will? 

20  Nay  but,  O  man,  who  art  thou  that  ||repliest  against 
God?  -^Shall  the  thing  formed  say  to  him  that  formed  it, 
Why  hast  thou  made  me  thus? 

21  Hath  not  the  "potter  power  over  the  clay,  of  the  same  lump 
to  make  'one  vessel  unto  honour,  and  another  unto  dishonour  ? 

22  What  if  God,  willing  to  shew  his  wrath,  and  to  make 
his  power  known,  endured  with  much  longsuffering  'the 
vessels  of  wrath  ||  '^fitted  to  destruction : 

23  And  that  he  might  make  known  'the  riches  of  his 
glory  on  the  vessels  of  mercy,  which  he  had  '"afore  pre- 
pared ucto  glory, 

24  Even  us,  whom  he  hath  called,  "not  of  the  Jews  only, 
but  also  of  the  Gentiles? 

25  As  he  saith  also  in  0-se'e,°I  will  call  them  my  people,  which 
were  not  my  people ;  and  her  beloved,  which  was  not  beloved. 

26  "And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  the  place  where  it 
was  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  not  my  people ;  there  shall  they 
be  called  the  children  of  the  living  God. 

27  E-sa'ias  also  crieth  concerning  Is'ra-el,  'Though  the 
number  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  be  as  the  sand  of  the  sea, 
'a  remnant  shall  be  saved: 

28  For  he  will  finish  ||  the  work,  and  cut  r7  short  in  righteous- 
ness :  'because  a  short  work  will  the  Lord  make  upon  the  earth. 

29  And  as  E-sa'ias  said  before,  'Except  the  Lord  of  Sab'a-oth 
had  left  us  a  seed,  "we  had  been  as  Sod'o-ma,  and  been  made 
like  unto  Go-mor'rah. 

30  What  shall  we  say  then?  ""That  the  Gentiles  which 
followed  not  after  righteousness,  have  attained  to  righteous- 
ness, "even  the  righteousness  which  is  of  faith : 

31  But  Is'ra-el,  "which  followed  after  the  law  of  righteous- 
ness, "hath  not  attained  to  the  law  of  righteousness. 

32  Wherefore?  Because  they  sought  it  not  by  faith,  but  as 
it  were  by  the  works  of  the  law.  For  Hhey  stumbled  at 
that  stumblingstone ; 

33  As  it  is  written,  "Behold,  I  lay  in  Si'on  a  stumbling- 
stone,  and  rock  of  offence :  and  ''whosoever  believeth  on 
him  shall  not  be  11  ashamed. 


6  But  it  is  not  as  though  the  word  of  God  hath  come 
to  nought.    For  they  are  not  all  Is'ra-el,  which  are  of 

7  Is'ra-el :  neither,  because  they  are  A'bra-ham's  seed, 
are  they  all  children :  but.  In  I'saac  shall  thy  seed  be 

8  called.     That  is,  it  is  not  the  children  of  the  flesh 
that  are  children  of  God ;    but  the  children  of  the 

9  promise  are  reckoned  for  a  seed.     For  this  is  a  word 
of  promise,  According  to  this  season  will  I  come, 

10 and  Sa'rah  shall  have  a  son.  And  not  only  so;  but 
Re-bec'ca  also  having  conceived  by  one,  even  by  our 

11  father  I'saac — for  the  children  being  not  yet  born, 
neither  having  done  anything  good  or  bad,  that  the 
purpose  of  God  according  to  election   might  stand, 

12  not  of  works,  but  of  him  that  calleth,  it  was  said  un- 

13  to  her.  The  elder  shall  serve  the  younger.  Even  as 
it  is  written,  Ja'cob  I  loved,  but  E'sau  I  hated. 

14  What  shall  we  say  then?     Is  there  unrighteous- 
15ness  with  God?    God  forbid.    For  he  saith  to  Mo'ses, 

I  will  have  mercy  on  whom  I  have  mercy,  and  I  will 

16  have  compassion  on  whom  I  have  compassion.  So 
then  it  is  not  of  him  that  willeth,  nor  of  him  that 

17  runneth,  but  of  God  that  hath  mercy.  For  the 
scripture  saith  unto  Pha'raoh,  For  this  very  purpose 
did  I  raise  thee  up,  that  I  might  shew  in  thee  my 
power,  and  that  my  name  might  be  published  abroad 

18  in  all  the  earth.  So  then  he  hath  mercy  on  whom 
he  will,  and  whom  he  will  he  hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then  unto  me.  Why  doth  he  still  find 
20 fault?     For  who  withstandeth  his  will?     Nay  but, 

O  man,  who  art  thou  that  repliest  against  God? 
Shall  the  thing  formed  say  to  him   that  formed   it, 

21  Why  didst  thou  make  me  thus  ?  Or  hath  not  the 
potter  a  right  over  the  clay,  from  the  same  lump  to 
make  one  part  a  vessel    unto   honour,  and  another 

22 unto  dishonour?  What  if  God,  willing  to  shew  his 
wrath,  and  to  make  his  power  known,  endured  with 
much  longsuffering  vessels  of  wrath  fitted  unto  de- 

23  struction  :  'and  that  he  might  make  known  the  riches 
of  his  glory  upon  vessels  of  mercy,  which  he  afore 

24  prepared  unto  glory,  even  us,  whom  he  also  called, 
not  from  the  Jews  only,  but  also  from  the  Gentiles? 

25  As  he  saith  also  in  Ho-se'a, 

I  will   call  that   my  people,  which  was  not  my 

people ; 
And  her  beloved,  which  was  not  beloved. 

26  And  it  shall  be,  that  in  the  place  where  it  was  said 

unto  them.  Ye  are  not  my  people, 
There  shall  they  be  called  sons  of  the  living  God. 

27  And  I-sa'iah  crieth  concerning  Is'ra-el,  If  the  number 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  be  as  the  sand  of  the  sea, 

28  it  is  the  remnant  that  shall  be  saved :  for  the  Lord 
will  execute  his  word   upon  the   earth,  finishing  it 

29  and  cutting  it  short.  And,  as  I-sa'iah  hath  said 
before. 

Except  the  Lord  of  Sab'a-oth  had  left  us  a  seed. 
We  had  become  as  Sod'om,  and  had  been  made  like 
unto  Go-mor'rah. 

30  What  shall  we  say  then  ?  That  the  Gentiles, 
which  followed  not  after  righteousness,  attained  to 
righteousness,  even  the  righteousness   which   is   of 

31  faith :  but  Is'ra-el,  following  after  a  law  of  righteous- 

32  ness,  did  not  arrive  at  that  law.  Wherefore  ?  ^Be- 
cause they  sought  it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were  by 
works.     They  stumbled  at  the  stone  of  stumbling ; 

33  even  as  it  is  written. 

Behold,  I  lay  in  Zi'on  a  stone  of  stumbling  and  a 

rock  of  offence : 
And  he  that  believeth  on  ^him  shall  not  be  put  to 

shame.

Righteousness  of  the  law,  and  of  faith, 

BRETHREN,  my  heart's  desire  and  prayer  to  God  for 
Is'ra-el  is,  that  they  might  be  saved. 

2  For  I  bear  them  record  "that  they  have  a  zeal  of  God, 
but  not  according  to  knowledge. 

3  For  they,  being  ignorant  of  'God's  righteousness,  and 
going  about  to  establish  their  own  "righteousness,  have 
not  submitted  themselves  unto  the  righteousness  of  God. 

4  For  ''Christ  is  the  end  of  the  law  for  righteousness  to 
every  one  that  believeth. 

5  For  Mo'ses  describeth  the  righteousness  which  is  of  the 
law,  "That  the  man  which  doeth  those  things  shall  live  by  them. 

6  But  the  righteousness  which  is  of  faith  speaketh  on  this 
wise,-^Say  not  in  thine  heart,  Who  shall  ascend  into  heaven? 
(that  is,  to  bring  Christ  down  from  above  .■) 

7  Or,  Who  shall  descend  into  the  deep?  (that  is,  to  bring 
up  Christ  again  from  the  dead.) 

8  Butwhatsaithit?  'The  word  is  nigh  thee,  even  in  thy  mouth, 
and  in  thy  heart:  that  is,  the  word  of  faith,  which  we  preach : 

9  That  ''if  thou  shalt  confess  with  thy  mouth  the  Lord 
Jesus,  and  shalt  believe  in  thine  heart  that  God  hath  raised 
him  from  the  dead,  thou  shalt  be  saved. 

10  For  with  the  heart  man  believeth  unto  righteousness; 
and  with  the  mouth  confession  is  made  unto  salvation. 

11  For  the  Scripture  saith,  'Whosoever  believeth  on  him 
shall  not  be  ashamed. 

12  For  *there  is  no  difference  between  the  Jew  andthe  Greek: 
for  'the  same  Lord  over  all  "is  rich  unto  all  that  call  upon  him. 

13  "For  whosoever  shall  call  "upon  the  name  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  saved. 

14  How  then  shall  they  call  on  him  in  whom  they  have  not 
believed?  and  how  shall  they  believe  in  him  of  whom  they 
have  not  heard?  and  how  shall  they  hear^without  a  preacher? 

15  And  how  shall  they  preach,  except  they  be  sent?  as  it 
is  written,  «How  beautiful  are  the  feet  of  them  that  preach 
the  gospel  of  peace,  and  bring  glad  tidings  of  good  things  ! 

16  But  "^they  have  not  all  obeyed  the  gospel.  For  E-sa'- 
ias  saith,  'Lord,  who  hath  believed  four  ||  report? 

17  So  then  faith  cometh  by  hearing,  and  hearing  by  the 
word  of  God. 

18  But  I  say.  Have  they  not  heard?  Yes  verily,  'their 
sound  went  into  all  the  earth,  "and  their  words  unto  the 
ends  of  the  world. 

19  But  I  say,  Did  not  Is'ra-el  know?  First  Mo'ses  saith, 
''I  will  provoke  you  to  jealousy  by  them  that  are  no  people, 
and  by  a  "foolish  nation  I  will  anger  you. 

20  But  E-sa'ias  is  very  bold,  and  saith,  'I  was  found  of 
them  that  sought  me  not ;  I  was  made  manifest  unto  them 
that  asked  not  after  me. 

21  But  to  Is'ra-el  he  saith,  "AH  day  long  I  have  stretched 
forth  my  hands  unto  a  disobedient  and  gainsaying  people. 

CHAPTER  XI. 

A  remnant  of  Israel  saved. 

I  SAY  then,  "Hath  God  cast  away  his  people?    God  for- 
bid.    For  'I   also  am   an  Ls'ra-el-ite,  of  the   seed    of 
A'bra-ham,  o/  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min. 

2  God  hath  not  cast  away  his  people  which  "he  foreknew. 
Wot  ye  not  what  the  Scripture  saith  \oi  E-li'as  ?  how  he 
raaketh  intercession  to  God  against  Is'ra-el,  saying, 

3  •'Lord,  they  have  killed  thy  prophets,  and  digged  down 
thine  altars;  and  I  am  left  alone,  and  they  seek  my  life. 

4  But  what  saith  the  answer  of  God  unto  him?  'I  have 
reserved  to  myself  seven  thousand  men,  who  have  not 
bowed  the  knee  to  the,  image  of  Ba'al. 

5  ^Even  so  then  at  this  present  time  also  there  is  a  remnant 
according  to  the  election  of  grace. 

6  And  'if  by  grace,  then  ia  it  no  more  of  works :  otherwise 


+v      Brethren,  my  heart's  'desire  and  my  supplication 

2  to  God  is  for  them,  that  they  may  be  saved.  For  I 
bear  them  witness  that  they  have  a  zeal  for  God, 

3  but  not  according  to  knowledge.     For  being  igno 
rant  of  God's  righteousness,  and  seeking  to  establish 
their  own,  they  did   not  subject  themselves  to  the 

4  righteousness  of  God.  For  Christ  is  the  end  of  the 
law  unto  righteousness  to  every  one  that  believeth. 

6  For  Mo'ses  writeth  that  the  man  that  doeth  the 
righteousness  which  is  of  the  law  shall  live  thereby 

6  But  the  righteousness  which  is  of  faith  saith  thus. 
Say  not  in  thy  heart.  Who  shall  ascend  into  heaven  ? 

7  (that  is,  to  bring  Christ  down :)  or,  Who  shall  descend 
into  the  abyss?  (that  is,  to  bring  Christ  up  from  the 

8  dead.)  But  what  saith  it  ?  The  word  is  nigh  thee, 
in  thy  mouth,  and  in  thy  heart :  that  is,  the  word  of 

9  faith,  which  we  preach  :  ^because  if  thou  shalt  'con- 
fess with  thy  mouth  Jesus  as  Lord,  and  shalt  believe 
in  thy  heart  that  God  raised  him  from  the  dead,  thou 

10  shalt  be  saved :  for  with  the  heart  man  believeth  unto 
righteousness;   and    with   the  mouth  confession  is 

11  made  unto  salvation.  For  the  scripture  saith.  Who- 
soever believeth  on  him  shall  not  be  put  to  shame 

12  For  there  is  no  distinction  between  Jew  and  Greek 
for  the  same  Lord  is  Lord  of  all,  and  is  rich  unto  all 

13 that  call  upon  him:  for.  Whosoever  shall  call  upon 
14  the  name  of  the  Lord  shall  be  saved.  How  then 
shall  they  call  on  him  in  whom  they  have  not  be 
lieved  ?  and  how  shall  they  believe  in  him  whom 
they  have  not  heard?  and  how  shall  they  hear  with 
16 out  a  preacher?  and  how  shall  they  preach,  except 
they  be  sent?  even  as  it  is  written,  How  beautiful 
are  the  feet  of  them  that  bring  *glad  tidings  of  good 
things ! 

16  But  they  did  not  all  hearken  to  the  'glad  tidings 
For  I-sa'iah  saith.  Lord,  who  hath  believed  our  report? 

17  So  belief  come<A  of  hearing,  and  hearing  by  the  word 

18  of  Christ.  But  I  say.  Did  they  not  hear?  Yea, 
verily, 

Their  sound  went  out  into  all  the  earth. 
And  their  words  unto  the  ends  of  *the  world. 

19  But  I  say.  Did  Is'ra-el  not  know  ?  First  Mo'ses  saith, 

I  will  provoke  you  to  jealousy  with  that  which  is 

no  nation. 
With  a  nation  void  of  understanding  will  I  anger 

you. 

20  And  I-sa'iah  is  very  bold,  and  saith, 

I  was  found  of  them  that  sought  me  not ; 

I  became  manifest  unto  them  that  asked  not  of  me. 

21  But  as  to  Is'ra-el  he  saith.  All  the  day  long  did  I 
spread  out  my  hands  unto  a  disobedient  and  gain- 
saying people. 

-LJ-  I  say  then.  Did  God  cast  off  his  people?  God 
forbid.     For  I  also  am  an  Is'ra-el-ite,  of  the  seed 

2  of  A'bra-ham,  of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min.  God  did 
not  cast  off  his  people  which  he  foreknew.  Or 
wot  ye  not  what  the  scripture  saith  'of  E-li'jah  ? 

Show  he  pleadeth  with  God  against  Is'ra-el,  Lord, 
they  have  killed  thy  prophets,  they  have  digged 
down  thine  altars :  and  I  am  left  alone,  and  they 

4  seek  my  life.  But  what  saith  the  answer  of  God 
unto  him  ?     I  have  left  for  myself  seven  thou.sand 

5  men,  who  have  not  bowed  the  knee  to  Ba'al.  Even 
so  then  at  this  present  time  also   there   is  a  rem- 

6  nant  according  to  the  election  of  grace.  But  if  it 
is   by    grace,   it   is  no  more    of  works:  otherwise

grace  is  no  more  grace.    But  i£U  6e  of  works,  tnen  is  it  no 
more  grace :  otnerwise  work  is  no  more  work. 

7  What  then?  ''Is'ra-el  hath  not  obtained  that  which  he 
seeketh  for;  but  the  election  hath  obtained  it,  and  the  rest 
were  ||  blinded 

8  (According  as  it  is  written,  'God  hath  given  them  the 
spirit  of  II  slumber,  *eyes  that  they  should  not  see,  and  ears 
that  they  should  not  hear ;)  unto  this  day. 

9  And  Da'vid  saith,  'Let  their  table  be  made  a  snare,  and  a 
trap,  and  a  stumblingblock,  and  a  recompense  unto  them : 

10  "Let  their  eyes  be  darkened,  that  they  may  not  see, 
and  bow  down  their  back  alway. 

Ill  say  then,  Have  they  stumbled  that  they  should  fall? 
God  forbid :  but  rather  "through  their  fall  salvation  is  come 
unto  the  Gentiles,  for  to  provoke  them  to  jealousy. 

12  Now  if  the  fall  of  them  be  the  riches  of  the  world,  and 
the  II  diminishing  of  them  the  riches  of  the  Gentiles;  how 
much  more  their  fulness? 

13  For  I  speak  to  you  Gentiles,  inasmuch  as  "I  am  the 
apostle  of  the  Gentiles,  I  magnify  mine  office : 

14  If  by  any  means  I  may  provoke  to  emulation  them 
which  are  my  flesh,  and  ''might  save  some  of  them. 

15  For  if  the  casting  away  of  them  be  the  reconciling  of 
the  world,  what  shall  the  receiving  of  them  be,  but  life  from 
the  dead? 

16  For  if  'the  firstfruit  be  holy,  the  lump  is  also  holy: 
and  if  the  root  be  holy,  so  are  the  branches. 

17  And  if 'some  of  the  branches  be  broken  ofiF,  'and  thou, 
being  a  wild  olive  tree,  wert  graffed  in  ||  among  them,  and 
with  them  partakest  of  the  root  and  fatness  of  the  olive  tree ; 

18  'Boast  not  against  the  branches.  But  if  thou  boast, 
thou  bearest  not  the  root,  but  the  root  thee. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then.  The  branches  were  broken  off,  that 
I  might  be  graffed  in. 

20  Well;  because  of  unbelief  they  were  broken  off,  anj 
thou  staudest  by  faith.     "Be  not  highminded,  but  'fear: 

21  For  if  God  spared  not  the  natural  branches,  take  heed 
lest  he  also  spare  not  thee. 

22  Behold  therefore  the  goodness  and  severity  of  God :  on 
them  which  fell,  severity ;  but  toward  thee,  goodness,  "if  thou 
continue  in  his  goodness :  otherwise  'thou  also  shalt  be  cut  off. 

23  And  they  also,  "if  they  abide  not  still  in  unbelief,  shall 
be  graffed  in :  for  God  is  able  to  graff  them  in  again. 

24  For  if  thou  wert  cut  out  of  the  olive  tree  which  is 
wild  by  nature,  and  wert  graffed  contrary  to  nature  into  a 
good  olive  tree;  how  much  more  shall  these,  which  be  the 
natural  branches,  be  graffed  into  their  own  olive  tree? 

25  For  I  would  not,  brethren,  that  ye  should  be  ignorant 
of  this  mystery,  lest  ye  should  be  *wise  in  your  own  con- 
ceits, that  "11  blindness  in  part  is  happened  to  Is'ra-el,  ''until 
the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles  be  come  in. 

26  And  so  all  Is'ra-el  shall  be  saved :  as  it  is  written,  'There 
.shall  come  out  of  Si'on  the  Deliverer,  and  shall  turn  away 
ungodliness  from  Ja'cob : 

27  -TFor  this  is  my  covenant  unto  them,  when  I  shall  take 
away  their  sins. 

28  As  concerning  the  gospel,  they  are  enemies  for  your 
sakes:  but  as  touching  the  election,  they  are  "beloved  for 
the  fathers'  sakes. 

29  For  the  gifts  and  calling  of  God  are  ^without  repentance. 

30  For  as  ye  'in  times  past  have  not  ||  believed  God,  yet 
have  now  obtained  mercy  through  their  unbelief: 

31  Even  so  have  these  also  now  not  ||  believed,  that 
through  your  mercy  they  also  may  obtain  mercy. 

32  For  *God  hath  ||  concluded  them  all  in  unbelief,  that 
he  might  have  mercy  upon  all. 

33  O  the  depth  of  the  riches  both  of  the  wisdom  and 
knowledge  of  God!  'how  unsearchable  are  his  judgments, 
and  ""his  ways  past  finding  out  I 


7 grace  is  no  more  grace.  What  then?  That  which 
Is'ra-el  seeketh  for,  that  he  obtained  not ;  but  the  elec- 

8  tion  obtained  it,  and  the  rest  were  hardened :  accord- 
ing as  it  is  written,  God  gave  them  a  spirit  of  stupor, 
eyes  that  they  should  not  see,  and  ears  that  they 

9  should  not  hear,  unto  this  very  day.  And  Da'vid  saith. 

Let  their  table  be  made  a  snare,  and  a  trap, 
And  a  stumblingblock,  and   a   recompense    unto 
them: 
10   Let  their  eyes  be  darkened,  that  they  may  not  see. 

And  bow  thou  down  their  back  alway. 
Ill  say  then,  Did  they  stumble  that  they  might  fall? 
God  forbid :  but  by  their  'fall  salvation  is  come  unto 

12  the  Gentiles,  for  to  provoke  them  to  jealousy.  Now 
if  their  fall  is  the  riches  of  the  world,  and  their  loss 
the  riches  of  the  Gentiles;  how  much  more  their 
fulness? 

13  But  I  speak  to  you  that  are  Gentiles.  Inasmuch 
then  as  I  am  an  apostle  of  Gentiles,  I  glorify  my 

14  ministry:  if  by  any  means  I  may  provoke  to  jealousy 
them  that  are  my  flesh,  and  may  save  some  of  them. 

15  For  if  the  casting  away  of  them  is  the  reconciling 
of  the  world,  what  shall  the  receiving  of  them  be,  but 

16  life  from  the  dead?  And  if  the  firstfruit  is  holy,  so 
is  the  lump:  and  if  the  root  is  holy,   so   are   the 

17  branches.  But  if  some  of  the  branches  were  broken 
off,  and  thou,  being  a  wild  olive,  wast  grafted  in 
among  them,  and  didst  become  partaker  with  them 

18^of  the  root  of  the  fatness  of  the  olive  tree;  glory 
not  over  the  branches:  but  if  thou  gloriest,  it  is  not 

19  thou  that  bearest  the  root,  but  the  root  thee.  Thou 
wilt  say  then.  Branches  were  broken  off,  that  I  might 

20 be  grafted  in.  Well;  by  their  unbelief  they  were 
broken  off,  and  thou  standest  by  thy  faith.     Be  not 

21  highminded,  but  fear:    for  if  God   spared    not   the 

22  natural  branches,  neither  will  he  spare  thee.  Behold 
then  the  goodness  and  severity  of  God :  toward  them 
that  fell,  severity ;  but  toward  thee,  God's  goodness, 
if  thou    continue  in  his  goodness :    otherwise  thou 

23  also  shalt  be  cut  off.  And  they  also,  if  they  con- 
tinue not  in  their  unbelief,  shall  be  grafted  in:  for 

24  God  is  able  to  graft  them  in  again.  For  if  thou  wast 
cut  out  of  that  which  is  by  nature  a  wild  olive  tree, 
and  wast  grafted  contrary  to  nature  into  a  good  olive 
tree:  how  much  more  shall  these,  which  are  the 
natural  branches,  be  grafted  into  their  own  olive 
tree? 

25  For  I  would  not,  brethren,  have  you  ignorant  of 
this  mystery,  lest  ye  be  wise  in  your  own  conceits, 
that  a  hardening  in  part  hath  befallen  Is'ra-el,  until 

26  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles  be  come  in ;  and  so  all 
Is'ra-el  shall  be  saved:  even  as  it  is  written. 

There  shall  come  out  of  Zi'on  the  Deliverer; 
He  shall  turn  away  ^ungodliness  from  Ja'cob : 

27  And  this  is  ''my  covenant  unto  them. 
When  I  shall  take  away  their  sins. 

28  As  touching  the  gospel,  they  are  enemies  for  your 
sake :  but  as  touching  the  election,  they  are  beloved 

29  for  the  fathers'  sake.     For  the  gifts  and  the  calling 

30  of  God  are  "without  repentance.  For  a's  ye  in  time 
past  were  disobedient  to  God,  but  now  have  obtained 

31  mercy  by  their  disobedience,  even  so  have  these  also 
now  been  disobedient,  that  by  the  mercy  shewn  to 

32  you  they  also  may  now  obtain  mercy.  For  God 
hath  shut  up  all  unto  disobedience,  that  he  might 
have  mercy  upon  all. 

33  O  the  depth  °of  the  riches  'both  of  the  wisdom 
and  the  knowledge  of  God  I  how  unsearchable  are 
his  judgements,   and   his    ways  past  tracing   out!

CHAPTER    XII. 

God  to  be  praised  for  his  mercies. 

I  "BESEECH  you  therefore,  brethren,  by  the  mercies  of 
God,  Hhat  ye  "present  your  bodies  ''a  living  sacrifice,  holy, 
acceptable  unto  God,  which  is  your  reasonable  service. 

2  And  'be  not  conformed  to  this  world :  but  •'^be  ye  trans- 
formed by  the  renewing  of  your  mind,  that  ye  may  "prove 
what  IS  that  good,  and  acceptable,  and  perfect  will  of  God. 

3  For  I  say,  'through  the  grace  given  unto  me,  to  every 
man  that  is  among  you,  'not  to  think  of  himself  more  highly 
than  he  ought  to  think;  but  to  think  fsoberly,  according 
as  God  hath  dealt  *to  every  man  the  measure  of  faith. 

4  For  'as  we  have  many  members  in  one  body,  and  all 
members  have  not  the  same  office  : 

5  So  "we,  being  many,  are  one  body  in  Christ,  and  every 
one  members  one  of  another. 

6  "Having  then  gifts  diifering  "according  to  the  grace  that 
is  given  to  us,  whether  Pprophecy,  let  us  prophesy  according 
to  the  proportion  of  faith ; 

7  Or  ministry,  let  its  wait  on  our  ministering;  or  'he  that 
teacheth,  on  teaching; 

8  Or  ""he  that  exhorteth,  on  exhortation:  'he  that  ||giveth, 
let  him  do  it  \\  with  simplicity ;  'he  that  ruleth,  with  diligence; 
he  that  sheweth  mercy,  "with  cheerfulness. 

9  "Let  love  be  without  dissimulation.  "Abhor  that  which 
is  evil ;  cleave  to  that  which  is  good. 

10  'Be  kindly  afiectioned  one  to  another  1|  with  brotherly 
love;  °in  honour  preferring  one  another; 

11  Not  slothful  in  business;  ferventinspirit;servingtheLord; 

12  'Rejoicing  in  hope;  "patient  in  tribulation;  ''continuing

15  'Rejoice  with  them  that  do  rejoice,  and  weep  with  them 
that  weep. 

16  'Be  of  the  same  mind  one  toward  another.  *Mind  not 
high  things,  but  ||  condescend  to  men  of  low  estate.  'Be 
not  wise  in  your  own  conceits. 

17  ""Recompense  to  no  man  evil  for  evil.  "Provide  things 
honest  in  the  sight  of  all  men. 

18  If  it  be  possible,  as  much  as  lieth  in  you,  "live  peace- 
ably with  all  men. 

19  Dearly  beloved,  "avenge  not  yourselves,  but  rather  give 
place  unto  wrath :  for  it  is  written,  'Vengeance  is  mine ;  I 
will  repay,  saith  the  Lord. 

20  "Therefore  if  thine  enemy  hunger,  feed  him;  if  he 
thirst,  give  him  drink :  for  in  so  doing  thou  shalt  heap  coals 
of  fire  on  his  head. 

21  Be  not  overcome  of  evil,  but  overcome  evil  with  good. 

CHAPTER    XIII. 

0/  subjection  to  magistrates. 

LET  every  soul  "be  subject  unto  the  higher  powers.    For 
'there  is  no  power  but  of  God:   the  powers  that  be  are 
II  ordained  of  God. 

2  Whosoever  therefore  resisteth  "the  power,  resisteth  the 
ordinance  of  God :  and  they  that  resist  shall  receive  to 
themselves  damnation. 

3  For  rulers  are  not  a  terror  to  good  works,  but  to  the 
evil.  Wilt  thou  then  not  be  afraid  of  the  power  ?  ''do  that 
which  is  good,  and  thou  shalt  have  praise  of  the  same : 

4  For  he  is  the  minister  of  God  to  thee  for  good.  But  if 
thou  do  that  which  is  evil,  be  afraid ;  for  he  beareth  not. the 


34 For  who  hath  known  the  mind  of  the  Lord?  or 
35  who  hath  been   his  counsellor?  or  who  hath  first 

given  to  him,  and  it  shall  be  recompensed  unto  him 
36 again?     For  of  him,  and   through  him,  and  unto 

him,  are  all  things.     To  him  be  the  glory  'for  ever. 

Amen. 

4-^  I  beseech  you  therefore,  brethren,  by  the  mercies 
of  God,  to  present  your  bodies  a  living  sacrifice,  holy, 
^acceptable  to  God,  which  is  your  'reasonable  *serv- 

2  ice.  And  be  not  fashioned  according  to  this  'world : 
but  be  ye  transformed  by  the  renewing  of  your  mind, 
that  ye  may  prove  what  is  'the  good  and  ^acceptable 
and  perfect  will  of  God. 

3  For  I  say,  through  the  grace  that  was  given  me, 
to  every  man  that  is  among  you,  not  to  think  of 
himself  more  highly  than  he  ought  to  think ;  but  so 
to  think  as  to  think  soberly,  according  as  God  hath 

4  dealt  to  each  man  a  measure  of  faith.  For  even  as 
we  have  many  members  in  one  body,  and  all  the 

5 members  have  not  the  same  office:  so  we,  who  are 
many,  are  one  body  in  Christ,  and  severally  members 

6  one  of  another.    And  having  gifts  differing  according 
to  the  grace  that  was  given  to  us,  whether  prophecy 
let  us  prophesy  according  to  the  proportion  of  'our 

7  faith ;  or  ministry,  let  us  give  ourselves  to  our  minis- 
8 try;  or  he  that  teacheth,  to  his  teaching;  or  he  that 

exhorteth,  to  his  exhorting:  he  that  giveth,  let  him 
do  it  with  ^liberality ;  he  that  ruleth,  with  diligence ; 
9  he  that  sheweth  mercy,  with  cheerfulness.     Let  love 
be  without  hypocrisy.     Abhor  that  which  is  evil ; 
10  cleave  to  that  which  is  good.     In  love  of  the  breth- 
ren be  tenderly  affectioned  one  to  another ;   in  hon 
Hour  preferring  one  another;  in  diligence  not  sloth 
12ful;  fervent  in  spirit,  serving  'the  Lord;   rejoicing 
in  hope;  patient  in  tribulation ;  continuing  stedfastly 
13 in  prayer;  communicating  to  the  necessities  of  the 
14 saints;  '"given  to  hospitality.     Bless  them  that  per- 

15  secute  you;  bless,  and  curse  not.    Rejoice  with  them 

16  that  rejoice;  weep  with  them  that  weep.  Be  of  the 
same  mind  one  toward  another.  Set  not  your  mind 
on  high  things,  but  "condescend  to  'Hhings  that  are 

17  lowly.  Be  not  wise  in  your  own  conceits.  Render 
to  no  man  evil  for  evil.     Take  thought  for  things 

18  honourable  in  the  sight  of  all  men.  If  it  be  possible, 
as  much  as  in  you  lieth,  be  at  peace  with  all  men. 

19  Avenge  not  yourselves,  beloved,  but  give  place  unto 
"wrath :  for  it  is  written.  Vengeance  belongeth  unto 

20  me;  I  will  recompense,  saith  the  Lord.  But  if  thine 
enemy  hunger,  feed  him ;  if  he  thirst,  give  him  to 
drink :  for  in  so  doing  thou  shalt  heap  coals  of  fire 

21  upon  his  head.  Be  not  overcome  of  evil,  but  over- 
come evil  with  good. 

i-O  Let  every  soul  be  in  subjection  to  the  higher  powers: 
for  there  is  no  power  but  of  God ;  and  the  powers 

2  that  be  are  ordained  of  God.  Therefore  he  that  re- 
sisteth the  power,  withstandeth  the  ordinance  of  God: 
and  they  that  withstand  shall  receive  to  themselves 

Sjudgement.  For  rulers  are  not  a  terror  to  the  good 
work,  but  to  the  evil.  And  wouldest  thou  have  no 
fear  of  the  power?  do  that  which  is  good,  and  thou 

4 shalt  have  praise  from  the  same:  for  '^he  is  a  min- 
ister of  God  to  thee  for  good.  But  if  thou  do  that 
which  is  evil,  be  afraid;   for  '^he  beareth  not  the!

sword  in  vain :  for  he  is  the  minister  of  God,  a  revenger  to 
execute  wratn  upon  him  that  doeth  evil. 

5  Wherefore  'ye  must  needs  be  subject,  not  only  for  wrath, 
•'^but  also  for  conscience'  sake. 

6  For,  for  this  cause  pay  ye  tribute  also  :  for  they  are  God's 
ministers,  attending  continually  upon  this  very  thing. 

7  "Render  therefore  to  all  their  dues :  tribute  to  whom 
tribute  is  due;  custom  to  whom  custom ;  fear  to  whom  fear ; 
honour  to  whom  honour. 

8  Owe  no  man  anything,  but  to  love  one  another :  for  'he 
that  loveth  another  hath  fulfilled  the  law. 

9  For  this,  'Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery,  Thou  shalt 
not  kill,  Thou  shalt  not  steal.  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  wit- 
ness, Thou  shalt  not  covet;  and  if  there  he  any  other  com- 
mandment, it  is  briefly  comprehended  in  this  saying,  namely, 
*Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 

10  Love  worketh  no  ill  to  his  neighbour:  therefore  love 
is  the  fulfilling  of  the  law. 

11  And  that,  knowing  the  time,  that  now  it  is  high  time 
"to  awake  out  of  sleep :  for  now  is  our  salvation  nearer  than 
when  we  believed. 

12  The  night  is  far  spent,  the  day  is  at  hand  :  "let  us  there- 
fore cast  off  the  works  of  darkness,  and  "let  us  put  on  the 
armour  of  light. 

13  "Let  us  Avalk  || honestly,  as  in  the  day;  'not  in  rioting 
and  drunkenness,  'not  in  chambering  and  wantonness,  'not 
in  strife  and  envying  : 

14  But  'put  ye  on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  "make  not 
provision  for  the  flesh,  to  fulfil  the  lusts  thereof. 

CHAPTER    XIV. 

Not  to  censure  one  another,  &c, 

HIM  that  "is  weak  in  the  faith  receive  ye,  hut  ||  not  to 
doubtful  disputations. 

2  For  one  believeth  that  he  'may  eat  all  things ;  another, 
who  is  weak,  eateth  herbs. 

3  Let  not  him  that  eateth  despise  him  that  eateth  not ;  and 
■■let  not  him  which  eateth  not  judge  him  that  eateth :  for  God 
hath  received  him. 

4  ''Who  art  thou  that  judgest  another  man's  servant?  to 
his  own  master  he  standeth  or  falleth  ;  yea,  he  shall  be 
holden  up :  for  God  is  able  to  make  him  stand. 

5  'One  man  esteemeth  one  day  above  another:  another 
esteemeth  every  ,day  alike.  Let  every  man  be  ||  fully  per- 
suaded in  his  own  mind. 

6  He  that  ■'^ll  regardeth  the  day,  regardeth  il  unto  the  Lord ; 
and  he  that  regardeth  not  the  day,  to  the  Lord  he  doth  not 
regard  it.  He  that  eateth,  eateth  to  the  Lord,  for  "he  giveth 
God  thanks ;  and  he  that  eateth  not,  to  the  Lord  he  eateth 
not,  and  giveth  God  thanks. 

7  For  *none  of  us  liveth  to  himself,  and  no  man  dieth  to 
himself. 

8  For  whether  we  live,  we  live  unto  the  Lord ;  and  whether 
we  die,  we  die  unto  the  Lord:  whether  we  live  therefore, 
or  die,  we  are  the  Lord's. 

9  For  'to  this  end  Christ  both  died,  and  rose,  and  revived, 
that  he  might  be  *Lord  both  of  the  dead  and  living. 

10  But  why  dost  thou  judge  thy  brother?  or  why  dost 
thou  set  at  naught  thy  brother?  for  'we  shall  all  stand  be- 
fore the  judgment  seat  of  Christ. 

11  For  it  is  written,  "'^s  I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  every  knee 
shall  bow  to  me,  and  every  tongue  shall  confess  to  God. 

12  So  then  "every  one  of  us  shall  give  account  of  himself 
to  God. 

13  Let  us  not  therefore  judge  one  another  any  more:  but 
judge  this  rather,  that  °no  man  put  a  stumblingblock  or  an 
occasion  to  fall  in  his  brother's  way. 

14  I  know,  and  am  persuaded  by  the  Lord  Jesus,  "that 
there  is  nothing  funclean  of  itself:  but  »to  him  that  esteem- 
eth any  thing  to  be  funclean,  to  him  it  is  unclean. 


sword   in  vain :   for  %e  is  a  minister  of  Grod,  an 

5  avenger  for  wrath  to  him  that  doeth  evil.  Where- 
fore ye  must  needs  be  in  subjection,  not  only  because 

6  of  the  wrath,  but  also  for  conscience'  sake.  For  for 
this  cause  ye  pay  tribute  also ;  for  they  are  ministers 
of  God's  serv-ce,  attending  continually   upon  this 

7  very  thing.  Render  to  all  their  dues:  tribute  to 
whom  tribute  is  due;  custom  to  whom  custom;  fear 
to  whom  fear ;  honour  to  whom  honour. 

8  Owe  no  man  anything,  save  to  love  one  another: 
for  he  that  loveth  ^his  neighbour  hath  fulfilled  Hhe 

9  law.  For  this,  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery, 
Thou  shalt  not  kill.  Thou  shalt  not  steal,  Thou  shalt 
not  covet,  and  if  there  be  any  other  commandment, 
it  is  summed  up  in  this  word,  namely.  Thou  shalt 

10  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself  Love  worketh  no  ill 
to  his  neighbour:  love  therefore  is  the  fulfilment  of 
'the  law. 

11  And  thSs,  knowing  the  season,  that  now  it  is  high 
time  for  you  to  awake  out  of  sleep :  for  now  is  *sal- 
vation  nearer  to  us  than   when   we  first  believed. 

12 The  night  is  far  spent,  and  the  day  is  at  hand:  let 
us  therefore  cast  off  the  works  of  darkness,  and  let 

13  us  put  on  the  armour  of  light.  Let  us  walk  hon- 
estly, as  in  the  day ;  not  in  revelling  and  drunk- 
enness, not  in  chambering   and  wantonness,  not  in 

14  strife  and  jealousy.  But  put  ye  on  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  and  make  not  provision  for  the  flesh,  to  fulfil 
the  lusts  thereof. 

i'^  But  him  that  is  weak  in  faith  receive  ye,  yet  not 

2 'to   doubtful   disputations.     One  man  hath  faith  to 

eat  all  things:    but  he  that  is  weak   eateth   herbs. 

3  Let  not  him  that  eateth  set  at  nought  him  that 
eateth  not;  and  let  not  him  that  eateth  not  judge 

4  him  that  eateth :  for  God  hath  received  him.  Who 
art  thou  that  judgest  the  'servant  of  another?  to  his 
own  lord  he  standeth  or  falleth.  Yea,  he  shall  be 
made  to  stand;  for  the  Lord  hath  power  to  make 

5  him  stand.  One  man  esteemeth  one  day  above  an- 
other:   another   esteeemeth    every   day   alike.     Le 

6  each  man  be  fully  assured  in  his  own  mind.  He 
that  regardeth  the  day,  regardeth  it  unto  the  Lord : 
and  he  that  eateth,  eateth  unto  the  Lord,  for  he 
giveth  God  thanks ;  and  he  that  eateth  not,  unto  the 

7  Lord  he  eateth  not,  and  giveth  God  thanks.  For 
none  of  us  liveth  to  himself,  and  none  dieth  to  him 

8  self.  For  whether  we  live,  we  live  unto  the  Lord ; 
or  whether  we  die,  we  die  unto  the  Lord :  whether 

9  we  live  therefore,  or  die,  we  are  the  Lord's.  For  to 
this  end  Christ  died,  and  lived  again,  that  he  might 

10  be  Lord  of  both  the  dead  and  the  living.  But  thou, 
why  dost  thou  judge  thy  brother?  or  thou  again, 
why  dost  thou  set  at  nought  thy  brother?  for  we 
shall  all  stand  before   the  judgment-seat   of  God. 

11  For  it  is  written, 

As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  to  me  every  knee  shall 

bow. 
And  every  tongue  shall  'confess  to  God. 

12  So  then  each  one  of  us  shall  give  account  of  him- 
self to  God. 

13  Let  us  not  therefore  judge  one  another  any  more: 
but  judge  ye  this  rather,  that  no  man  put  a  stumbling- 
block  in  his  brother's  way,  or  an  occasion  of  falling. 

14 1  know,  and  am  persuaded  in  the  Lord  Jesus,  that 
nothing  is  unclean  of  itself:  save  that  to  him  who  ac- 
counteth  anything  to  be  unclean,  to  him  it  is  unclean,]

15  But  if  thy  brother  be  grieved  with  thy  meat,  now 
walkest  thou  not  fcharitably.  ''Destroy  not  him  with  thy 
meat,  for  whom  Christ  died. 

16  "Let  not  then  your  good  be  evil  spoken  of: 

17  'For  the  kingdom  of  God  is  not  meat  and  drink;  but 
righteousness,  and  peace,  and  joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  For  he  that  in  these  things  serveth  Christ  "is  accept- 
able to  God,  and  approved  of  men. 

19  "'Let  us  therefore  follow  after  the  things  which  make 
for  peace,  and  things  wherewith  "one  may  edify  another. 

20  'For  meat  destroy  not  the  work  of  God.  "All  things  indeed 
are  pure :  ""but  it  is  evil  for  that  man  who  eateth  with  offence. 

21  It  is  good  neither  to  eat  "flesh,  nor  to  drink  wine,  nor 
any  thing  whereby  thy  brother  stumbleth,  or  is  offended,  or 
is  made  weak. 

22  Hast  thou  faith?  have  it  to  thyself  beforeGod.''Happy  is  he 
that  condemneth  not  himself  in  that  thing  which  he  alloweth.

77ie  strong  ought  to  bear  with  the  weak. 

WE  "then  that  are  strong  ought  to  bear  the  'infirmities 
of  the  weak,  and  not  to  please  ourselves. 

2  "Let  every  one  of  us  please  his  neighbour  for  his  good 
''to  edification. 

3  'For  even  Christ  pleased  not  himself;  but,  as  it  is  writ- 
ten, •'^The  reproaches  of  them  that  reproached  thee  fell 
on  me. 

4  For  'whatsoever  things  were  written  aforetime,  were 
written  for  our  learning,  that  we  through  patience  and  com- 
fort of  the  Scriptures  might  have  hope. 

5  *Now  the  God  of  patience  and  consolation  grant  you  to 
be  likeminded  one  toward  another  |1  according  to  Christ 
Jesus : 

6  That  ye  may  'with  one  mind  and  one  mouth  glorify 
God,  even  the  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

7  Wherefore  'receive  ye  one  another,  'as  Christ  also  re- 
ceived us,  to  the  glory  of  God. 

8  Now  I  say  that  ""Jesus  Christ  was  a  minister  of  the  cir- 
cumcision for  the  truth  of  God,  "to  confirm  the  promises 
made  unto  the  fathers: 

9  And  "that  the  Gentiles  might  glorify  God  for  his  mercy ; 
as  it  is  written,  "For  this  cause  I  will  confess  to  thee  among 
the  Gentiles,  and  sing  unto  thy  name. 

10  And  again  he  saith,  'Rejoice,  ye  Gentiles,  with  his  people. 

11  And  again,  'Praise  the  Lord,  all  ye  Gentiles;  and  laud 
him,  all  ye  people. 

12  And  again  E-sa'ias  saith, 'There  shall  be  a  root  of  Jes'se, 
and  he  that  shall  rise  to  reign  over  the  Gentiles;  in  him 
shall  the  Gentiles  trust. 

13  Now  the  God  of  hope  fill  yon  with  all  Joy  and  peace 
in  believing,  that  ye  may  abound  in  hope,  through  the  power 
of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

14  And  "I  myself  also  am  persuaded  of  you,  my  brethren, 
that  ye  also  are  full  of  goodness,  "'filled  with  all  knowledge, 
able  also  to  admonish  one  another. 

15  Nevertheless,  brethren,  I  have  written  the  more  boldly 
unto  you  in  some  sort,  as  putting  you  in  mind,  "because  of 
the  grace  that  is  given  to  me  of  God, 

16  That  'I  should  be  the  minister  of  Jesus  Christ  to  the 
Gentiles,  ministering  the  gospel  of  God,  that  the  ||  "offering 
up  of  the  Gentiles  might  be  acceptable,  being  sanctified  by 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

17  I  have  therefore  whereof  I  may  glory  through  Jesus 
Christ  *in  those  things  which  pertain  to  God. 

18  For  I  will  not  dare  to  speak  of  any  of  those  things 
"which  Christ  hath  not  wrought  by  me,  ''to  make  the  Gen- 
tiles obedient,  by  word  and  deed, 

19  "Through  mighty  signs  and  wonders,  by  the  power  of 


15  For  if  because  of  meat  thy  brother  is  grieved,  thou 
walkest  no  longer  in  love.     Destroy  not  with  thy 

16  meat  him  for  whom   Christ  died.     Let  not  then 

17  your  good  be  evil  spoken  of:  for  the  kingdom  of 
God  is  not  eating  and  drinking,  but  righteousness 

18  and  peace  and  joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost.  For  he 
that  herein  serveth  Christ  is  welJ-pleasing  to  God, 

19  and  approved  of  men.  So  then  'let  us  follow  after 
things  which  make  for  peace,  and  things  whereby 

20  we  may  edify  one  another.  Overthrow  not  for 
meat's  sake  the  work  of  God.  All  things  indeed 
are  clean ;  howbeit  it  is  evil  for  that  man  who  eateth 

21  with  offence.  It  is  good  not  to  eat  flesh,  nor  to 
drink  wine,  nor  to  do  anything  whereby  thy  brother 

226tumbleth^  The  faith  which  thou  hast,  have  thou 
to  thyself  before  God.     Happy  is  he  that  judgeth  not 

23  himself  in  that  which  he  'appro veth.  But  he  that 
doubteth  is  condemned  if  he  eat,  because  he  eateth 
not  of  faith ;  and  whatsoever  is  not  of  faith  is  sin.* 

-10     Now  we  that  are  strong  ought  to  bear  the  infirm- 

Sities  of  the  weak,  and  not  to  please  ourselves.     Let 

each  one  of  us  please  his  neighbour  for  that  which  is 

3  good,  unto  edifying.  For  Christ  also  pleased  not  him- 
self; but,  as  it  is  written.  The  reproaches  of  them  that 

4  reproached  thee  fell  upon  me.  For  whatsoever  things 
were  written  aforetime  v/ere  written  for  our  learn- 
ing, that  through  patience  and  through  comfort  of 

6  the  scriptures  we  might  have  hope.  Now  the  God 
of  patience  and  of  comfort  grant  you  to  be  of  the  same 

6  mind  one  with  another  according  to  Christ  Jesus:  that 
with  one  accord  ye  may  with  one  mouth  glorify  the 

7  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  Where- 
fore  receive  ye  one  another,  even   as   Christ  also

8  received  "you,  to  the  glory  of  God.  For  I  say  that 
Christ  hath  been  made  a  minister  of  the  circumcision 
for  the  truth  of  God,  that   he    might   confirm    the 

9  promises  given  unto  the  fathers,  and  that  the  Gen 
tiles  might  glorify  God  for  his  mercy ;  as  it  is  written. 

Therefore  will  1  *give  praise  unto  thee  among  the 

Gentiles, 
And  sing  unto  thy  name. 

10  And  again  he  saith,  , 

Rejoice,  ye  Gentiles,  with  his  people. 

11  And  again. 

Praise  the  Lord,  all  ye  Gentiles; 
And  let  all  the  peoples  praise  him. 

12  And  again,  I-sa'iah  saith. 

There  shall  be  the  root  of  Jes'se, 

And  he  that  ariseth  to  rule  over  the  Gentiles; 

On  him  shall  the  Gentiles  hope. 

13  Now  the  God  of  hope  fill  you  with  all  joy  and  peace 
in  believing,  that  ye  may  abound  in  hope,  in  the 
power  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

14  And  I  myself  also  am  persuaded  of  you,  my  breth- 
ren, that  ye  yourselves  are  full  of  goodness,  filled 
with  all  knowledge,  able  also  to  admonish  one  an- 

15  other.  But  I  write  the  more  boldly  unto  you  in 
some  measure,  as  putting  you  again  in  remembrance, 
because  of  the  grace  that  was  given  me  of  God, 

16  that  I  should  be  a  minister  of  Christ  Jesus  unto  the 
Gentiles,  'ministering  the  gospel  of  God,  that  the 
offering  up  of  the  Gentiles  might  be  made  accepta- 

17  ble,  being  ganctified  by  the  Holy  Ghost.  I  have 
therefore  my  glorifying  in  Christ  Jesus  in  things  per- 

18taining  to  God.  For  I  will  not  dare  to  speak  of  any 
Hhings  save  those  which  Christ  wrought  through  me, 
for  the  obedience  of  the  Gentiles,  by  word  and  deed,

the  Spirit  of  God ;  so  that  from  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  round  about 
unto  Il-lyr'i-cum,  I  have  fully  preached  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

20  Yea,  so  have  I  strived  to  preach  the  gospel,  not  where 
Christ  was  named,  -^lest  I  should  build  upon  another  man's 
foundation : 

21  But  as  it  is  written,  "To  whom  he  was  not  spoken  of,  they 
shall  see:  and  they  that  have  not  heard  shall  understand. 

22  For  which  cause  also  *I  have  been  ||much  hindered 
from  coming  to  you. 

23  But  now  having  no  more  place  in  these  parts,  and  'hav- 
ing a  great  desire  these  many  years  to  come  unto  you ; 

24  Whensoever  I  take  my  journey  into  Spain,  I  will  come 
to  you :  for  I  trust  to  see  you  in  my  journey,  *and  to  be 
brought  on  my  way  thitherward  by  you,  if  first  I  be  some- 
what filled  fwith  your  company. 

25  But  now  'I  go  unto  Je-ru'sa-lera  to  minister  unto  the  saints. 

26  For  ""it  hath  pleased  them  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a  and  A-cha'ia 
to  make  a  certain  contribution  for  the  poor  saints  which  are 
at  Je-ru'sa-lem. 

27  It  hath  pleased  them  verily;  and  their  debtors  they 
are.  For  "if  the  Gentiles  have  been  made  partakers  of 
their  spiritual  things,  "their  duty  is  also  to  minister  unto 
them  in  carnal  things. 

28  When  therefore  I  have  performed  this,  and  have  sealed 
to  them  "this  fruit,  I  will  come  by  you  into  Spain. 

29  'And  I  am  sure  that,  when  I  come  unto  you,  I  shall 
come  in  the  fulness  of  the  blessing  of  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

30  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  for  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ's  sake,  and  ""for  the  love  of  the  Spirit,  'that  ye  strive 
together  with  me  in  your  prayers  to  God  for  me ; 

31  'That  I  may  be  delivered  from  them  that  ||do  not  be- 
lieve i"n  Ju-de'a;  and  that  "my  service  which  I  have  for  Je- 
ru'sa-lem  may  be  accepted  of  the  saints; 

32  "'That  I  may  come  unto  you  with  joy  "by  the  will  of 
God,  and  may  with  you  "be  refreshed. 

33  Now  "the  God  of  peace  be  with  you  all.     Amen.

of  the  \\household  of  Nar-cis'sus,  which  are  in  the  Lord. 

1 2  Salute  Try-phe'naand  Try-pho'sa,  who  labour  in  the  Lord.

13  Saute  Ru'fuSj'chosen  in  the  Lord,  and  his  mother  and  mine. 

14  Salute  A-syn'cri-tus,  Phle'gon,  Her'mas,  Pa-tro'bas, 
Her'mes,  and  the  brethren  which  are  with  them. 

15  Salute  Phi-lol'o-gus,  and  Ju'li-a,  Ne're-us,  and  his  sister,

16  ''Salute  one  another  with  a  holy  kiss.  The  churches

'the  Holy  Ghost ;  so  that  from  Je-ru'sa-lem,  and  round 
aboift  even  unto  Il-lyr'i-cum,  I  have  ^fully  preached 
20 the  gospel  of  Christ;  yea,  'making  it  my  aim  so  to 
preach  the  gospel,  not  where  Christ  was  already 
named,  that  I  might  not  build  upon  another  man's 

21  foundation ;  but,  as  it  is  written, 

They  shall  see,  to  whom  no  tidings  of  him  came. 
And  they  who  have  not  heard  shall  understand. 

22  Wherefore  also  I  was  hindered  these  many  times 

23  from  coming  to  you :  but  now,  having  no  more  any 
place  in  these  regions,  and  having  these  many  years 

24  a  longing  to  come  unto  you,  whensoever  I  go  unto 
Spain  (for  I  hope  to  see  you  in  my  journey,  and  to 
be  brought  on  my  way  thitherward  by  you,  if  first 
in   some  measure  I  shall  have  been   satisfied  with 

25  your  company) — but  now,  I  say,  I  go  unto  Je-ru'^ 

26  sa-lem,  ministering  unto  the  saints,  for  it  hath  been 
the  good  pleasure  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a  and  A-cha'ia  to 
make  a  certain  contribution  for  the  poor  among  the 

27  saints  that  are  at  Je-ru'sa-lem.    Yea,  it  hath  been  their 
good  pleasure ;  and  their  debtors  they  are.     For  if 
the  Gentiles  have  been  made  partakers  of  their  spir 
itual  things,  they   owe   it  to  them  also  to  minister 

28  unto  them  in  carnal  things.  When  therefore  I  have 
accomplished  this,  and  have  sealed  to  them  this  fruit, 

29 1  will  go  on  by  you  unto  Spain.  And  I  know  that, 
when  I  come  unto  you  I  shall  come  in  the  fulness 
of  the  blessing  of  Cnrist. 

30  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  by  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  and  by  the  love  of  the  Spirit,  that  ye  strive 
together  with  me  in  your  prayers  to  God  for  me; 

31  that  1  may  be  delivered  from  them  that  are  diso 
bedient  in  Ju-dse'a,  and  that  my  ministration  which 
I  have  for  Je-ru'sa-lem  may  be  acceptable  to  the  saints; 

32  that  I  may  come  unto  you  in  joy  through  the  will 

33  of  God,  and  together  with  you  find  rest.  Now  the 
God  of  peace  be  with  you  all.     Amen. 

J-v      I  commend  unto  you  Phoe'be  our  sister,  who  is  a 

2  ^servant  of  the  church  that  is  at  Cen'chre-se :  that  ye 
receive  her  in  the  Lord  worthily  of  the  saints,  and 
that  ye  assist  her  in  whatsoever  matter  she  may  have 
need  of  you :  for  she  herself  also  hath  been  a  suc- 
courer of  many,  and  of  mine  own  self. 

3  Salute  Pris'ca  and  Aq'ui-la  my  fellow-workers  in 

4  Christ  Jesus,  who  for  my  life  laid  down  their  own 
necks;  unto  whom  not  only  I  give  thanks,  but  also 

5 all  the  churches  of  the  Gentiles:  and  salute  the 
church  that  is  in  their  house.  Salute  &psen'e-tus  my 
beloved,  who  is  the  firstfruits  of  A'si-a  unto  Christ. 

6  Salute  Ma'ry,  who  bestowed  much  labour  on  you. 

7  Salute  An-dro-ni'cus  and  'Ju'ni-as,  my  kinsmen,  and 
my  fellow-prisoners,  who  are  of  note  among  the 
apostles,  who  also  have  been  in  Christ  before  me. 

I  Salute  Am-pli-a'tus  my  beloved  in  the  Lord.  Salute 
Ur-ba'nus  our  fellow-worker  in  Christ,  and  Sta'chys 

10  my  beloved.  Salute  A-pel'les  the  approved  in  Christ. 
Salute  them  which  are  of  the  household  oi  K-Tis-to-hu'- 

11  lus.  Salute  He-ro'di-on  my  kinsman.  Salute  them 
of  the  household  of  Nar-cis'sus,  which  are  in  the  Lord.

17  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  mark  them  'which  cause 
divisions  and  offences  contrary  to  the  doctrine  which  ye 
have  learned;  and  *avoid  them. 

18  For  they  that  are  such  serve  not  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
but  'their  own  belly ;  and  "by  good  words  and  fair  speeches 
deceive  the  hearts  of  the  simple. 

19  For  "youi'  obedience  is  come  abroad  unto  all  men,  I 
am  glad  therefore  on  your  behalf:  but  yet  I  would  have  you

23  •'Ga'ius  mine  host,  and  of  the  whole  church,  saluteth

25  Now  Ho  him  that  is  of  power  to  stablish  you  "accord- 
ing to  my  gospel,  and  the  preaching  of  Jesus  Christ,  ''ac- 
cording to  the  revelation  of  the  mystery,  'which  was  kept 
secret  since  the  world  began, 

26  But  ^now  is  made  manifest,  and  by  the  Scriptures  of  the 
prophets,  according  to  the  commandment  of  the  everlasting 
God,  made  known  to  all  nations  for  'the  obedience  of  faith :

^Written  to  the  Romans  from  Corinthus,  and  sent  by  Phebe,  serv- 
ant of  the  church  at  Cenchrea. 


17  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  mark  them  which 
are  causing  the  divisions  and  occasions  of  stumbling, 
contray  to  the  'doctrine  which  ye  learned :  and  turn 

18  away  from  them.  For  they  that  are  such  serve  not 
our  Lord  Christ,  but  their  own  belly;  and  by  their 
smooth  and  fair  speech  they  beguile  the  hearts  of 

19  the  innocent.  For  your  obedience  is  come  abroad 
unto  all  men.  I  rejoice  therefore  over  you:  but  I 
would  have  you  wise  unto  that  which  is   good,  and 

20  simple  unto  that  which  is  evil.  And  the  God  of 
peace  shall  bruise  Sa'tan  under  your  feet  shortly. 

The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesui,  Christ  be  with  you.

23  Lord.  Ga'ius  my  host,  and  of  the  whole  church, 
saluteth  you.  E-ra'stus  the  treasurer  of  the  city 
saluteth  you,  and  Quar'tus  the  brother.' 

25  *Now  to  him  that  is  able  to  stablish  you  according 
to  my  gospel  and  the  preaching  of  Jesus  Christ,  ac 
cording  to    the   revelation    of  the   mystery   which 

26  hath  been  kept  in  silence  through  times  eternal,  but 
now  is  manifested,  and  'by  the  scriptures  of  the 
prophets,  according  to  the  commandment  of  the 
eternal  God,  is  made  known  unto  all  the  nations 

27  unto  obedience  *of  faith ;    to    the   only  wise  God 
through  Jesus  Christ,  'to  whom   be  the  glory  'for

5  That  in  every  thing  ye  are  enriched  by  him,  "in  all  utter-

■•■  Paul,  called  to  be  an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ 
through  the  will  of  God,  and  Sos'the-nes  'our  brother,

4  I  thank  ^my  God  always  concerning  you,  for  the 
grace  of  God  which  was  given  you  in  Christ  Jesus ; 

5  that  in  everything  ye  were  enriched  in  him,  in   all

16  And  I  baptized  also  the  household  of  "Steph'a-nas ;  be- 
sides, I  know  not  whether  I  baptized  any  other. 

17  For  Christ  sent  me  not  to  baptize,  but  to  preach  the 
gospel:  ''not  with  wisdom  of  ||  words,  lest  the  cross  of  Christ 
should  be  made  of  none  efiFect. 

18  For  the  preaching  of  thecross  is  to 'them  that  perish,  ■''fool- 
ishness ;  but  unto  us  "which  are  saved,  it  is  the  *power  of  God. 

19  For  it  is  written,  *I  will  destroy  the  wisdom  of  the  wise, 
and  will  bring  to  nothing  the  understanding  of  the  prudent. 

20  'Where  is  the  wise?  where  is  the  scribe?  where  is  the 
disputer  of  this  world?  'hath  not  God  made  foolish  the 
wisdom  of  this  world  ? 

21  "For  after  that  in  the  wisdom  of  God  the  world  by  wis- 
dom knew  not  God,  it  pleased  God  by  the  foolishness  of 
preaching  to  save  them  that  believe. 

22  For  the  "Jews  require  a  sign,  and  the  Greeks  seek  after 
wisdom : 

23  But  we  preach  Christ  crucified,  "unto  the  Jews  a  stum- 
blingblock,  and  unto  the  Greeks  ''foolishness; 

24  But  unto  them  which  are  called,  both  Jews  and  Greeks, 
Christ  «the  power  of  God,  and  'the  wisdom  of  God. 

26  Because  the  foolishness  of  God  is  wiser  than  men ;  and 
the  weakness  of  God  is  stronger  than  men. 

26  For  ye  see  your  calling,  brethren,  how  that  'not  many  wise 
men  after  the  flesh,not  many  mighty,not  many  noble  are  called: 

27  But  'God  hath  chosen  the  foolish  things  of  the  world 
to  confound  the  wise ;  and  God  bath  chosen  the  weak  things 
of  the  world  to  confound  the  things  which  are  mighty ; 

28  And  base  things  of  the  world,  and  things  which  are 
despised,  hath  God  chosen,  yea,  and  "things  which  are  not, 
''to  bring  to  nought  things  that  are: 

29  'That  no  flesh  should  glory  in  his  presence. 

30  But  of  him  are  ye  in  Christ  Jesus,  who  of  God  is  made 
unto  us  'wisdom,  and  "righteousness,  and  'sanctification,  and 
"redemption ;  , 

31  That,  according  as  it  is  written,  ''He  that  glorieth,  let 
him  glory  in  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Mow  Paul  preached  the  gospel. 

AND  I,  brethren,  when  I  came  to  you,  'came  not  with 
excellency  of  speech,  or  of  wisdom,  declaring  unto  you 
Hhe  testimony  of  God. 

2  For  I  determined  not  to  know  any  thing  among  you, 
"save  Jesus  Christ,  and  him  crucified, 

3  And  **!  was  with  you  'in  weakness,  and  in  fear,  and 
iu  much  trembling. 

4  And  my  speech  and  my  preaching  ^was  not  with  ||  en- 
ticing words  of  man's  wisdom,  'but  in  demonstration  of  the 
Spirit  and  of  power: 

5  That  your  faith  should  not  fstand  in  the  wisdom  of 
men,  but  'in  the  power  of  God. 

6  Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom  among  them  that  are  per- 
fect :  yet  not  *the  wisdom  of  this  world,  nor  of  the  princes 
of  this  world,  'that  come  to  nought ; 

7  Butwe.speakthewisdomofGodinamy8tery,ct>cnthehidden 
wisdom,  ""which  God  ordained  before  the  world  unto  our  glory ; 

8  "Which  none  of  the  princes  of  this  world  knew :  for  "had 
they  known  it,  they  would  not  have  crucified  the  Lord  of  glory. 

9  But  as  it  is  written,  "Eye  hath  not  seen,  nor  ear  heard, 
neither  have  entered  into  the  heart  of  man,  the  things  which 
God  hath  prepared  for  them  that  love  him. 

10  But  "God  hath  revealed  them  unto  us  by  his  Spirit;  for 
the  Spirit  searcheth  all  things,  yea,  the  deep  things  of  God. 

1 1  For  what  man  knoweth  the  things  of  a  mauj'sa  ve  the  spirit 


13 'Is  Christ  divided?  was  Paul  crucified  for  you?   or 

14  were  ye  baptized  into  the  name  of  Paul  ?    ''I  thank 

God  that  I  baptized  none  of  you,  save  Cris'pus  and 

15Ga'ius;  lest  any  man  should  say  that  ye  were  bap- 

16  tized  into  my  name.  And  I  baptized  also  the  house- 
hold of  Steph'a-nas :  besides,  I  know  not  whether  I 

17  baptized  any  other.  For  Christ  sent  me  not  to  bap- 
tize, but  to  preach  the  gospel:  not  in  wisdom  of 
words,  lest  the  cross  of  Christ  should  be  made  void. 

18  For  the  word  of  the  cross  is  to  them  that  are 
perishing  foolishness;    but  unto  us  which  are  being 

19  saved  it  is  the  power  of  God.     For  it  is  written, 

I  will  destroy  the  wisdom  of  the  wise. 
And  the  prudence  of  the  prudent  will  I  reject. 
20 Where  is  the  wise?   where  is  the  scribe?   where   is 
the  disputer  of  this  'world?  hath    not   God  made 

21  foolish  the  wisdom  of  the  world  ?  For  seeing  that 
in  the  wisdom  of  God  the  world  through  its  wisdom 
knew  not  God,  it  was  God's  good  pleasure  through 
the  foolishness  of  the  'preaching  to  save  them  that 

22  believe.     Seeing  that  Jews  ask  for  signs,  and  Greeks 

23  seek  after  wisdom :  but  we  preach  'Christ  crucified, 
unto  Jews  a  stumblingblock,  and  unto  Gentiles  fool- 

24  ishness ;  but  unto  'them  that  are  called,  both  Jews  and 
Greeks,  Christ  the  power  of  God,  and  the  wisdom  of 

25  God.  Because  the  foolishness  of  God  is  wiser  than 
men ;  and  the  weaknes.s  of  God  is  stronger  than  men. 

26  For  'behold  your  calling,  brethren,  how  that  not 
many  wise  afl«r  the  flesh,  not   many   mighty,  not 

27  many  noble,  *are  called ,-  but  God  chose  the  foolish 
things  of  the  world,  that  he  might  put  to  shame  them 
that  are  wise ;  and  God  chose  the  weak  things  of  the 
world,  that  he  might  put  to  shame  the  things  that 

28 are  strong;  and  the  base  things  of  the  world,  and 
the  things  that  are  despised,  did  God  choose,  yea 
*and  the  things  that  are  not,  that  he  might  bring  to 

29 nought  the   things  that  are:   that  no  flesh  should 

30  glory  before  God.  But  of  him  are  ye  ia  Christ  Jesus, 
who  was  made  unto  us  wisdom  from  God,  "and  right- 

Sleousness  and  sanctification,  and  redemption:  that, 
according  as  it  is  written,  fie  tiiat  glorieth,  let  him 
glory  in  the  Lord. 

«  And  I,  brethren,  when  I  came  nnto  yon,  came  not 
with  excellency  of  "speech  or  of  wisdom,  proclaim- 

2  ing  to  you  the  "mystery  of  God.  For  I  determined 
not  to  know  anything  among  you,  save  Jesus  Christ, 

3and  him  crucified.     And  I  was  with  you  in  weak- 

4  ness,  and  in  fear,  and  in  much  trembling.  And  my 
"speech  and  my  ''preaching  were  not  in  persuasive 
words  of  wisdom,  but  in  demonstration  of  the  Spirit 

5  and  of  power :  that  your  faith  should  not  ''stand  in 
the  wisdom  of  men,  but  iu  the  power  of  God. 

6  Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom  among  the  "perfect :  yet 
a  wisdom  not  of  this  "world,  nor  of  the  rulers  of  this 

7 "world,  which  are  coming  to  nought:  but  we  speak 
God's  wisdom  in  a  mystery,  even  the  wisdom  that 
hath  been  hidden,  which  God  foreordained  before  the 

8  worlds  unto  our  glory :  which  none  of  the  rulers  of  this 
world  knoweth :  for  had  they  known  it,  they  would  not 

9  have  crucified  the  Lord  of  glory :  but  as  it  is  written, 

Things  which  eye  saw  not,  and  ear  heard  not. 
And  which  entered  not  into  the  heart  of  man. 
Whatsoever   things  God   prepared   for  them  that 
love  him. 

10  "But  unto  us  God  revealed  ^Hhem  through  the 
Spirit:   for  the   Spirit    searcheth    all    things,    yea, 

11  the  deep  things  of  God.  For  who  among  men 
knoweth   the   things    of  a   man,    save    the    spirit

of  man  which  is  in  him  ?  'even  so  the  things  of  God  know- 
eth  no  man,  but  the  Spirit  of  God. 

12  Now  we  have  received,  not  the  spirit  of  the  world,  but 
'the  Spirit  which  is  of  God  ;  that  we  might  know  the  things 
that  are  freely  given  to  us  of  God. 

13  "Which  things  also  we  speak,  not  in  the  words  which 
man's  wisdom  teacheth,  but  which  the  Holy  Ghost  teacheth ; 
comparing  spiritual  things  with  spiritual. 

14  "'But  the  natural  man  receiveth  not  the  things  of  the 
Spirit  of  God :  "for  they  are  foolishness  unto  him :  'neither 
can  he  know  them,  because  they  are  spiritually  discerned. 

16  "But  he  that  is  spiritual  ||judgeth  all  things,  yet  he 
himself  is  ||  judged  of  no  man. 

16  ""For  who  hath  known  the  mind  of  the  Lord,  that  he 
fmay  instruct  him  ?    "But  we  have  the  mind  of  Christ. 

CHAPTER    III. 

Ifow  Paul  dealt  with  weak  believerx, 

AND  I,  brethren,  could  not  speak  unto  you  as  unto  "spirit- 
ual, but  as  unto  'carnal,  even  as  unto  "babes  in  Christ. 

2  I  have  fed  you  with  ''milk,  and  not  with  meat :  "for  hith- 
erto ye  were  not  able  to  bear  it,  neither  yet  now  are  ye  able, 

3  For  ye  are  yet  carnal :  for  Avhereas  there  is  among  you 
envying,  and  strife,  and  ||  divisions,  are  ye  not  carnal,  and 
walk  fas  men  ? 

4  For  while  one  saith,  "I  am  of  Paul ;  and  another,  I  am 
of  A-pol'los ;  are  ye  not  carnal  ? 

5  W  ho  then  is  Paul,  and  who  is  A-pol'los,  but  *ministers 
by  whom  ye  believed,  'even  as  the  Lord  gave  to  every 
man? 

6  *I  have  planted,  'A-pol'loe  watered ;  "but  God  gave  the 
increase. 

7  So  then  "neither  is  he  that  planteth  any  thing,  neither 
he  that  watereth ;  but  God  that  giveth  the  increase. 

8  Now  he  that  planteth  and  he  tnat  watereth  are  one :  'and 
every  man  shall  receive  his  own  reward  according  to  his 
own  labour. 

9  For  "we  are  labourers  together  with  God :  ye  are  God's 
II  husbandry,  ye  are  'God's  building. 

10  "^ According  to  the  grace  of  God  which  is  given  unto 
me,  as  a  wise  masterbuilder,  I  have  laid  'the  foundation, 
and  another  buildeth  thereon.  But  'let  every  man  take 
heed  how  he  buildeth  thereupon. 

11  For  other  foundation  can  no  man  lay  than  "that  is  laid, 
•"which  is  Jesus  Christ. 

12  Now  if  any  man  build  upon  this  foundation  gold,  sil- 
ver, precious  stones,  wood,  hay,  stubble ; 

13  "Every  man's  work  shall  be  made  manifest:  for  the 
day  'shall  declare  it,  because  "it  fshall  be  revealed  by  fire ; 
and  the  fire  shall  try  every  man's  work  of  what  sort  it  is. 

14  If  any  man's  work  abide  which  he  hath  built  there- 
upon, 'he  shall  receive  a  reward. 

15  If  any  man's  work  shall  be  burned,  he  shall  suffer  loss: 
but  he  himself  shall  be  saved ;  "yet  so  as  by  fire. 

16  ''Know  ye  not  that  ye  are  the  temple  of  God,  and  that 
the  Spirit  of  God  dwelleth  in  you? 

17  If  any  man  ||  defile  the  temple  of  God,  him  shall  God 
destroy ;  for  the  temple  of  God  is  holy,  which  temple  ye  are. 

18  'Let  no  man  deceive  himself.  If  any  man  among  you 
seemeth  to  be  wise  in  this  world,  let  him  become  a  fool, 
that  he  may  be  wise. 

19  For  '^the  wisdom  of  this  world  is  foolishness  with  God: 
for  it  is  written,  "He  taketh  the  wise  in  their  own  craftiness. 

20  And  again,  *The  Lord  knoweth  the  thoughts  of  the 
wise,  that  they  are  vain. 

21  Therefore  'let  no  man  glory  in  men :  for  *all  things  are 
yours ; 

22  Whether  Paul,orA-pol'los,orCe'phas,orthe  world,  or  life, 
or  death,  or  things  present,  or  things  to  come ;  all  are  yours ; 

23  And  'ye  are  Christ's;  and  Christ  is  God's. 


of  the  man,  which  is  in  him  ?  even  so  the  things  of 

12  God  none  knoweth,  save  the  Spirit  of  God.  But  we 
received,  not  the  spirit  of  the  world,  but  the  spirit 
which    is  of  God ;  that  we  might  know  the  things 

13  that  are  freely  given  to  us  by  God.  Which  things 
also  we  speak,  not  in  words  which  man's  wisdom 
teacheth,  but  which  the   Spirit  teacheth;  '^compar- 

14ing  spiritual  things  with  spiritual.  Now  the  natural 
man  receiveth  not  the  things  of  the  Spirit  of  God : 
for  they  are   foolishness  unto   him ;    and  he  cannot 

15  know  them,  because  they  are  spiritually 'judged.  But 
he  that  is  spiritual  *judgeth  all  things,  and  he  him- 

16  self  is  'judged  of  no  man.  For  who  hath  known 
the  mind  of  the  Lord,  that  he  should  instruct  him  ? 
But  we  have  the  mind  of  Christ. 

O    And  I,  brethren,  could  not  speak  unto  you  as  unto 

spiritual,  but  as  unto  carnal,  as  unto  babes  in  Christ. 

2 1  fed  you  with  milk,  not  with  meat ;  for  ye  were  not 

3 yet  able  to  bear  it:  nay,  not  even  now  are  ye  able ;  for 

ye  are  yet  carnal :  for  whereas  there  is  among  you 

jealousy  and"  strife,  are  ye  not  carnal,  and  walk  after 

4  the  manner  of  men?  For  when  one  saith,  I  am  of 
Paul ;  and  another,  I  am  of  A-pol'los ;  are  ye  not 

5  men  ?  What  then  is  A-pol'los  ?  and  what  is  Paul  ? 
Ministers  through  whom  ye  believed ;  and  each  as 

6  the  Lord  gave  to  him.  I  planted,  A-pol'los  watered : 

7  but  God  gave  the  increase.  So  then  neither  is  he  that 
planteth  anything,  neither  he  that  watereth  ;  but  God 

8  that  giveth  the  increase.  Now  he  that  planteth  and 
he  that  watereth  are  one :  but  each  shall  receive  his 

9  own  reward  according  to  his  own  labour.  For  we 
are  God's  fellow-workers:  ye  are  God's  'husbandry, 
God's  building. 

10  According  to  the  grace  of  God  which  was  given 
unto  me,  as  a  wise  masterbuilder  I  laid  a  foundation ; 
and  another  buildeth  thereon.     But  let  each  man 

11  take  heed  how  he  buildeth  thereon.  For  other  foun- 
dation can  no  man  lay  than  that  which  is  laid,  which 

12  is  Jesus  Christ.  But  if  any  man  buildeth  on  the 
foundation    gold,  silver,  costly  stones,  wood,   hay, 

13 stubble;  each  man's  work  shall  be  made  manifest: 
for  the  day  shall  declare  it,  because  it  is  revealed  in 
fire ;  *and  the  fire  itself  shall  prove  each  man's  work 

14  of  what  sort  it  is.     If  any  man's  work  shall  abide 

15  which  he  built  thereon,  he  shall  receive  a  reward. 
If  any  man's  work  shall  be  burned,  he  shall  suffer 
loss:  but  he  himself  shall  be  saved;  yet  so  as 
through  fire. 

16  Know  ye  not  that  ye  are  a  ^temple  of  God,  and 
nthat  the  Spirit  of  God  dwelleth  in  you?     If  any  man 

destroyeth  the  'temple  of  God,  him  shall  God  de- 
stroy ;  for  the  'temple  of  God  is  holy,  'which  temple 
ye  are. 

18  Let  no  man  deceive  himself.  If  any  man  thinketh 
that  he  is  wise  among  you  in  this  'world,  let  him 

19  become  a  fool,  that  he  may  become  wise.  For  the 
wisdom  of  this  world  is  foolishness  with  God.  For 
it  is  written,  He  that  taketh  the  wise  in  their  crafti- 

20ness:  and  again,  The  Lord  knoweth   the  reasonings 

21  of  the  wise,  that  they  are  vain.     Wherefore  let  no 

22  one  glory  in  men.  For  all  things  are  yours;  whether 
Paul,  or  A-pol'los,  or  Ce'phas,  or  the  world,  or  life, 
or  death,  or  things  present,  or  things  to  come ;  all 

23  are  yours  ;  and  ye  are  Christ's;  and  Christ  is  God's.

CHAPTER    IV. 

//ouf  to  account  of  ministers,  &c. 

LET  a  man  so  accouut  of  us,  as  of  "the   ministers  of 
Christ,  'and  stewards  of  the  mysteries  of  God, 

2  Moreover  it  is  required  in  stewards,  that  a  man  be  found 
faithful. 

3  But  with  me  it  is  a  very  small  thing  that  I  should  be  judged 
of  you,  or  of  man's  fjudgment:  yea,  I  judge  not  mine  own  self. 

4  For  I  know  nothing  by  myself;  "yet  am  I  not  hereby 
justified:  but  he  that  judgeth  me  is  the  Lord. 

5  ''Therefore  judge  nothing  before  the  time,  until  the  Lord 
come,  'who  both  will  bring  to  light  the  hidden  things  of 
darkness,  and  will  make  manifest  the  counsels  of  the  hearts: 
and  ■'then  shall  every  man  have  praise  of  God. 

6  And  these  things,  brethren,  "I  have  in  a  figure  transferred 
to  myself,  and  to  A-pol'los,  for  your  sakes ;  Hhat  ye  might 
learn  in  us  not  to  think  oj  men  above  that  which  is  written, 
that  no  one  of  you  *be  puffed  up  for  one  against  another. 

'/  For  who  fmaketh  thee  to  differ  from  another?  and  *what 
hast  thou  that  thou  didst  not  receive?  now  if  thou  didst  re- 
ceive it,  why  dost  thou  glory,  as  if  thou  hadst  not  received  it  f 

8  Now  ye  are  full,  'now  ye  are  rich,  ye  have  reigned  as 
kings  without  us:  afld  I  would  to  God  ye  did  reign,  that  we 
also  might  reign  with  you. 

9  For  I  think  that  God  hath  set  forth  ||  us  the  apostles  last, 
"as  it  were  appointed  to  death :  for  "we  are  made  a  f spec- 
tacle unto  the  world,  and  to  angels,  and  to  men. 

10  "We  are  "fools  for  Christ's  sake,  but  ye  are  wise  in 
Christ;  'we  are  weak,  but  ye  are  strong;  ye  are  honour- 
able, but  we  are  despised. 

11  ''Even  unto  this  present  hour  we  both  hunger,  and 
thirst,  and  'are  naked,  and  'are  buflFeted,  and  have  no  certain 
dwellingplace ; 

12  "And  labour,  Working  with  our  own  hands:  "being  re- 
viled, we  bless;  being  persecuted,  we  suffer  it; 

1 3  Being  defamed,  we  entreat :  "we  are  made  as  the  filth  of 
the  world,  and  are  the  offscouring  of  all  things  unto  this  day. 

14  I  write  not  these  things  to  shame  you,  but  'as  my  be- 
loved scfns  I  warn  you. 

15  For  though  ye  have  ten  thousand  instructors  in  Christ, 
yet  have  ye  not  many  fathers :  for  "in  Christ  Jesus  I  have 
begotten  you  through  the  gospel. 

16  Wherefore  I  beseech  you,  ''be  ye  followers  of  me. 

17  For  this  cause  have  I  sent  untx)  you  "Ti-mo'the-us, ''who 
is  my  beloved  son,  and  faithful  in  the  Lord,  who  shall  bring 
you  "into  remembrance  of  my  ways  which  be  in  Christ,  as  I 
'teach  every  where  'in  every  church. 

18  *Now  some  are  puffed  up,  as  though  I  would  not  come 
to  you. 

19  'But  I  will  come  to  you  shortly,  *if  the  Lord  will,  and  will 
know,  not  thespeech  of  them  which  are  puffed  up,  but  the  power. 

20  For  'the  kingdom  of  God  is  not  in  word,  but  in  power. 

21  What  will  ye  ?  ""shall  I  come  unto  you  with  a  rod,  or 
in  love,  and  in  the  spirit  of  meekness? 

CHAPTER    V. 

Paul  reprovetk  for  sundry  sins. 

IT  is  reported  commonly   thai  there  is  fornication  among 
you,  and  such  fornication  as  is  not  so  much  as  "named 
among  the  Gentiles,  Hhat  one  should  have  his  "father's  wife. 

2  ''And  ye  are  puffed  up,  and  have  not  rather"mourned,thathe 
that  hath  done  this  deed  might  be  taken. away  from  among  you. 

3  •'For  I  verily,  as  absent  in  body,  but  present  in  spirit, 
have  lljudged  already  as  though  I  were  present,  concerning 
him  that  hath  so  done  this  deed, 

4  In  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  when  ye  are 
gathered  together,  and  my  spirit,  "with  the  power  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

5  ''To  deliver  such  a  one  untojSa'tan  for  the  destruction  of  the 
flesh,  that  the  spirit  may  be  saved  in  the  day  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 


^     Let  a  man  so  account  of  us,  as  of  ministers  of  Christ, 

2  and  stewards  of  the  mysteries  of  God.  Here,  more- 
over, it  is  required  in  stewards,  that  a  man  be  found 

3  faithful.  But  with  me  it  is  a  very  small  thing  that  I 
should  be  'judged  of  you,  or  of  man's  judgement: 

4 yea,  I  ^udge  not  mine  own  self.  For  I  know  nothing 
against  myself;  yet  am  I  not  hereby  justified:  but 

5  he  that  ^judgeth  me  is  the  Lord.  Wherefore  judge 
nothing  before  the  time,  until  the  Lord  come,  who 
will  .both  bring  to  light  the  hidden  things  of  darkness, 
and  make  manifest  the  counsels  of  the  hearts;  and 
then  shall  each  man  have  his  praise  from  God. 

6  Now  these  things,  brethren,  I  have  in  a  figure 
transferred  to  myself  and  A-pol'los  for  your  sakes; 
that  in  us  ye  might  learn  not  to  go  beyond  the  things 
which  are  written ;  that  no  one  of  you  be  puffed  up 

7  for  the  one  against  the  other.  For  who  maketh 
thee  to  differ?  and  what  hast  thou  that  thou  didst 
not  receive?  but  if  thou  didst  receive  it,  why  dost 

8 thou  glory,  as  if  thou  hadst  not  received  it?  Al- 
ready are  ye  filled,  already  ye  are  become  rich,  ye 
have  reigned  without  us:  yea  and  I  would  that  ye 

9  did  reign,  that  we  also  might  reign  with  you.  For, 
I  think,  God  hath  set  forth  us  the  apostles  last  of 
all,  as  men  doomed  to  death :  for  we  are  made  a 
spectacle   unto  the  world,  'and  to  angels,  and  to 

10  men.  We  are  fools  for  Christ's  sake,  but  ye  are 
w^ise  in  Christ ;  we  are  weak,  but  ye  are  strong ;  ye 

11  have  glory,  but  we  have  dishonour.  Even  unto  this 
present  hour  we  both  hunger,  and  thirst,  and  are 
naked,  and  are  buffeted,  and  have  no  certain  dwell- 

12ingplace;  and  we  toil,  working  with  our  own  hands: 
being  reviled,  we  bless ;   being  persecuted,  we  en- 

13 dure;  being  defamed,  we  intreat:  we  are  made  as 
the  *filth  of  the  world,  the  offscouring  of  all  things, 
even  until  now. 

14     I  write  not  these  things  to  shame  you,  but  to  ad- 

ISmonish  you  as  my  beloved  children.  For  though 
ye  should  have  ten  thousand  tutors  in  Christ,  yet 
have  ye  not  many  fathers :  for  in  Christ  Jesus  I  begat 

16  you  through  the  gospel.     I  beseech  you  therefore, 

17  be  ye  imitators  of  me.  For  this  cause  have  I  sent 
unto  you  Tim'o-thy,  who  is  my  beloved  and  faithful 
child  in  the  Lord,  who  shall  put  you  in  remem- 
brance of  my  ways  which  be  in  Christ,  even  as  I 

18  teach  everywhere  in  every  church.  Now  some  are 
puffed  up,  as  though  I  were  not  coming  to  you. 

19 But  I  will  come  to  you  shortly,  if  the  Lord  will; 
and  I  will  know,  not  the  word  of  them  which  are 

20  puffed  up,  but  the  power.     For  the  kingdom  of  God 

21  is  not  in  word,  but  in  power.  What  will  ye?  shall 
I  come  unto  you  with  a  rod,  or  in  love  and  a  spirit 
of  meekness? 

0  It  is  actually  reported  that  there  is  fornication 
among  you,  and  such  fornication  as  is  not  even 
among  the  Gentiles,  that  one  of  you  hath  his  father's 

2  wife.  And  'ye  are  puffed  up,  and  *did  not  rather 
mourn,  that  he  that  had  done  this  deed   might  be 

3  taken  away  from  among  you.  For  I  verily,  being 
absent  in  body  but  present  in  spirit,  have  already,  as 
though    I   were   present,  j udged   him    that  hath   so 

4  wrought  this  thing,  in  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus, 
ye  being  gathered  together,  and  my  spirit,  with  the 

5  power  of  our  Lord  Jesus,  to  deliver  such  a  one 
unto  Sa'tan  for  the  destruction  of  the  flesh,  that  the 
spirit  may  be  saved  in  the  day  of  the  Lord  'Jesus,

6  'Your  glorying  is  not  good.  Know  ye  not  that  'a  little 
leaven  leaveneth  the  whole  lump? 

7  Purge  out  therefore  the  old  leaven,  that  ye  may  be  a 
new  lump,  as  ye  are  unleavened.  For  even  "Christ  our 
"passover  ||  is  sacrificed  for  us : 

8  Therefore  "let  us  keep  ||  the  feast,  "not  with  old  leaven, 
neither  «with  the  leaven  of  malice  and  wickedness ;  but  with 
the  unleavened  bread  of  sincerity  and  truth. 

9  I  wrote  unto  you  in  an  epistle  'not  to  company  with 
fornicators : 

10  'Yet  not  altogether  with  the  fornicators  'of  this  world, 
or  with  the  covetous,  or  extortioners,  or  with  idolaters ;  for 
then  must  ye  needs  go  "out  of  the  world. 

1 1  But  now  I  have  written  unto  you  not  to  keep  company, 
"'if  any  man  that  is  called  a  brother  be  a  fornicator,  or  covet- 
ous, or  an  idolater,  or  a  railer,  or  a  drunkard,  or  an  ex- 
tortioner; with  such  a  one  "no  not  to  eat. 

12  For  what  have  I  to  do  to  judge  'them  also  that  are 
without?  do  not  ye  judge  "them  that  are  within  ? 

13  But  them  that  are  without  God  judgeth.  Therefore 
'put  away  from  among  yourselves  that  wicked  person. 

CHAPTER   VI. 

Cif  controversies  be/ore  heathen  judges. 

DARE  any  of  you,  having  a  matter  against  another,  go  to 
law  before  the  unjust,  and  not  before  the  saints? 

2  Do  ye  not  know  that  "the  saints  shall  judge  the  world? 
and  if  the  world  shall  be  judged  by  you,  are  ye  unworthy 
to  judge  the  smallest  matters? 

3  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  'judge  angels?  how  much 
more  things  that  pertain  to  this  life  ? 

4  'If  then  ye  have  judgments  of  things  pertaining  to  this 
life,  set  them  to  judge  who  are  least  esteemed  in  the  church. 

5  I  speak  to  your  shame.  Is  it  so,  that  there  is  not  a  wise 
man  among  you?  no,  not  one  that  shall  be  able  to  judge 
between  his  brethren? 

6  But  brother  goeth  to  law  with  brother,  and  that  before 
the  unbelievers. 

7  Now  therefore  there  is  utterly  a  fault  among  you,  because 
ye  go  to  law  one  with  another.  ''Why  do  ye  not  rather  take 
wrong?  why  do  ye  not  rather  suffer  yourselves  to  be  defrauded  ? 

8  Nay,  ye  do  wrong,  and  defraud,  'and  that  your  brethren. 

9  Know  ye  not  that  the  unrighteous  shall  not  inherit  the 
kingdom  of  God?  Be  not  deceived;  •''neither  fornicators, 
nor  idolaters,  nor  adulterers,  nor  effemioatc,  nor  abusers  of 
themselves  with  mankind, 

10  Nor  thieves,  nor  covetous,  nor  drunkards,  nor  revilers, 
nor  extortioners,  shall  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God. 

11  And  such  were  "some  of  you;  *but  ye  are  washed,  but 
ye  are  sanctified,  but  ye  are  justified  in  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Jesus,  and  by  the  Spirit  of  our  God. 

12  'All  things  are  lawful  unto  me,  but  all  things  are  not 
II expedient:  all  things  are  lawful  for  me,  but  I  will  not  be 
brought  nnder  the  power  of  any. 

13  ''Meats  for  the  oelly,  and  the  belly  for  meats:  but  God 
shall  destroy  both  it  and  them.  Now  the  body  is  not  for 
fornication,  but  'for  the  Lord;  "and  the  Lord  for  the  body. 

14  And  "God  hath  both  raised  up  the  Lord,  and  will  also 
raise  up  us  'by  his  own  power. 

15  Know  ye  not  that  "your  bodies  are  the  members  of 
Christ  ?  shall  I  then  take  the  members  of  Christ,  and  make 
them  the  members  of  a  harlot  ?     God  forbid. 

16  What  I  know  ye  not  that  be  which  is  joined  to  a  har- 
lot is  one  body  ?  for  'two,  saith  he,  shall  be  one  flesh. 

17  'But  he  that  is  joined  unto  the  Lord  is  one  spirit. 

18  'Flee  fornication.  Every  sin  that  a  man  doeth  is  with- 
out the  body;  but  he  that  committeth  fornication  sinneth 
'against  his  own  body. 

19  What !  "know  ye  not  that  your  body  is  the  templie  of 


6  Your  glorying  is  not  good.     Know  ye   not   that  a 

7  little  leaven  leaveneth  the  whole  lump?  Purge  out 
the  old  leaven,  that  ye  may  be  a  new  lump,  even  as 
ye  are  unleavened.     For  our  passover  also  hath  been 

8 sacrificed,  even  Christ:  wherefore  let  us  'keep  the 
feast,  not  with  old  leaven,  neither  with  the  leaven  of 
malice  and  wickedness, but  with  the  unleavened  bread 
of  sincerity  and  truth. 

9  I  wrote  unto  you  in  my  epistle  to  have  no  com- 
lOpany  with  fornicators;  ^not  altogether  with  the  for- 
nicators of  this  world,  or  with  the  covetous  and 
extortioners,  or  with  idolaters ;   for   then   must  ye 

11  needs  go  out  of  the  world:  but  'now  I  write  unto 
you  not  to  keep  company,  if  any  man  that  is  named 
a  brother  be  a  fornicator,  or  covetous,  or  an  idolater, 
or  a  reviler,  or  a  drunkard,  or  an  extortioner;  with 

12  such  a  one  no,  not  to  eat.  For  what  have  I  to  do 
with  judging  them  that  are  without?    Do  not  ye 

ISjudge  them  that  are  within,  whereas  them  that  are 
without  God  judgeth?  Put  away  the  wicked  man 
from  among  yourselves. 

v>  Dare  any  of  you,  having  a  -matter  against  *his 
neighbour,  go  to   law   before  the  unrighteous,  and 

2 not  before  the  saints?  Or  know  ye  not  that  the 
saints  shall  judge  the  world?  and  if  the  world  is 
judged  by  you,  are  ye  unworthy  'to  judge  the  smallest 

3 matters?     Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  judge  angels? 

4 how  much  more,  things  that  pertain  to  this  life?  If 
then  ye  have  *to  judge  things  pertaining  to  this  life, 
'do  ye  set  them  to  judge  who  are  of  no  account  in 

5 the  church?  I  say  this  to  move  you  to  shame.  Is 
it  so,  that  there  cannot  be  found  among  you  one 
wise  man,  who  shall  be  able  to  decide  between  his 

6  brethren,  but  brother  goeth  to  law  with  brother,  and 

7 that  before  unbelievers?  Nay,  already  it  is  alto- 
gether 'a  defect  in  you,  that  ye  have  lawsuits  one 
with  another.     Why   not  rather  take  wrong?  why 

8  not  rather  be  defrauded  ?     Nay,  but  ye  yourselves 

9  do  wrong,  and  defraud,  and  that  your  brethren.  Or 
know  ye  not  that  the  unrighteous  shall  not  inherit 
the  kingdom  of  God?  Be  not  deceived:  neither 
fornicators,  nor  idolaters,  nor  adulterers,  nor  effemi 

10nate,nor  abusers  of  themselves  with  men,  nor  thieves, 
nor  covetous,  nor  drunkards,  nor  revilers,  nor  ex- 

lltortioners,  shall  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God.  And 
such  were  some  of  you :  but  ye  'were  washed,  but 
ye  were  sanctified,  but  ye  were  justified  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  in  the  Spirit  of  our 
God. 

12  All  things  are  lawful  for  me ;  but  not  all  things 
are  expedient.     All  things  are  lawful  for  me ;  but  I 

13  will  not  be  brought  under  the  power  of  any.  Meats 
for  the  belly,  and  the  belly  for  meats:  but  God 
shall  bring  to  nought  both  it  and  them.  But  the 
body  is  not  for  fornication,  but  for  the  Lord;  and  the 

14  Lord  for  the  body  :  and  God  both  raised  the  Lord, 

15  and  will  raise  up  us  through  his  power.  Know 
ye  not  that  your  bodies  are  members  of  Christ? 
shall  I  then  take  away  the  members  of  Christ, 
and   make  them  members  of  a  harlot?    God  for- 

16  bid.  Or  know  ye  not  that  he  that  is  joined  to  a 
harlot  is  one  body?  for.  The  twain,  saith  he,  shall 

17  become  one  flesh.     But  he  that  is  joined  unto  the 

18  Lord  is  one  spirit.  Flee  fornication.  Every  sin 
that  a  man  doeth  is  without  the  body ;  but  he  that 
committeth  fornication  sinneth  against  his  own  body. 

19  Or  know  ye  not  that'  your  body  is  a  "^mple  of

the  Holy  Ghost  which  is  in  you,  which  ye  have  of  God, 
"and  ye  are  not  your  own  ? 

20  For  "ye  are  bought  with  a  price :  therefore  glorify  God 
in  your  body,  and  in  your  spirit,  which  are  God's. 
CHAPTER    VII. 

Use  of  marriage. 

"VTOW  concerning  the  things  whereof  ye  wrote  unto  me: 
i-N    ° /<  is  good  for  a  man  not  to  touch  a  woman. 

2  Nevertheless,  to  avoid  fornication,  let  every  man  have 
his  own  wife,  and  let  every  woman  have  her  own.  husband. 

3  'Let  the  husband  render  unto  the  wife  due  benevolence : 
and  likewise  also  the  wife  unto  the  husband. 

4  The  wife  hath  not  power  of  her  own  body,  but  the 
husband :  and  likewise  also  the  husband  hath  not  power  of 
his  own  body,  but  the  wife. 

5  "Defraud  ye  not  one  the  other,  except  it  be  with  consent 
for  a  time,  that  ye  may  give  yourselves  to  fasting  and 
prayer;  and  come  together  again,  that  ''Sa'tan  tempt  ye 
not  for  your  incontinency. 

6  But  I  speak  this  by  permission,  'and  not  of  commandment. 

7  For  -^1  would  that  all  men  were  'even  as  I  myself.  But 
''every  man  hath  his  proper  gift  of  God,  one  after  this  man- 
ner, and  another  after  that. 

8  I  say  therefore  to  the  unmarried  and  widows,  *It  is  good 
for  them  if  they  abide  even  as  I. 

9  But  *if  they  cannot  contain,  let  them  marry :  for  it  is 
better  to  marry  than  to  burn. 

10  And  unto  the  married  I  command,  'yet  not  I,  but  the 
Lord,  ""Let  not  the  wife  depart  from  her  husband  : 

11  But  and  if  she  depart,  let  her  remain  unmarried,  or  be 
reconciled  to  her  husband:  and  let  not  the  husband  put 
away  his  wife. 

12  But  to  the  rest  speak  I,  "not  the  Lord:  If  any  brother 
hath  a  wife  that  believeth  not,  and  she  be  pleased  to  dwell 
with  him,  let  him  not  put  her  away. 

13  And  the  woman  which  hath  a  husband  that  believeth 
not,  and  if  he  be  pleased  to  dwell  with  her,let  her  not  leave  him. 

14  For  the  unbelieving  husband  is  sanctified  by  the  wife, 
and  the  unbelieving  wife  is  sanctified  by  the  hu.sband:  else 
"were  your  children  unclean ;  but  now  are  they  holy. 

15  But  if  the  unbelieving  depart,  let  him  depart.  A 
brother  or  a  sister  is  not  under  bondage  in  such  cases; 
but  God  hath  called  us  ''fto  peace. 

16  For  what  knowest  thou,  O  wife,  whether  thou  shalt 
'save  thy  husband?  or  fhow  knowest  thou,  O  man,  whether 
thou  shalt  save  thy  wife  ? 

17  But  as  God  hath  distributed  to  every  man,  as  the  Lord 
hath  called  every  one,  so  let  him  walk.  And  'so  ordain  I 
in  all  churches. 

18  Is  any  man  called  being  circumcised?  let  him  not  be- 
come uncircumcised.  Is  any  called  in  uncircumcision  ?  'let 
him  not  be  circumcised. 

19  "Circumcision  is  nothing,  and  uncircumcision  is  nothing, 
but  'the  keeping  of  the  commandments  of  God. 

20  Let  every  man  abide  in  the  same  calling  wherein  he 
was  called. 

21  Art  thou  called  being  a  servant?  care  not  for  it:  but  if 
thou  mayest  be  made  free,  use  it  rather. 

22  For  he  that  is  called  in  the  Lord,  being  a  servant,  is 
"the  Lord's  ffreeman :  likewise  also  he  that  is  called,  being 
free,  is  'Christ's  servant. 

23  "Ye  are  bought  with  a  price;  benotyetheservantsof  men. 

24  Bretliren,  'let  every  man,  wherein  he  is  called,  therein 
abide  with  God. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins  "^I  have  no  commandment  of 
the  Lord:  yet  I  give  my  judgment,  as  one  ''that  hath  ob- 
tained mercy  of  the  Lord  'to  be  faithful. 

26  I  suppose  therefore  that  this  is  good  for  the  present 
II  distress,  /  say,  ■''that  it  is  good  for  a  man  so  to  be. 


the  'Holy  Ghost  which  is  in  you,  which  ye  have 

20  from  Goo  ?  and  ye  are  not  your  own ;    for  ye  were 

bought  with  a  price :  glorify  God  therefore  in  your 

body. 

♦       Now  concerning  the  things  whereof  ye  wrote :  It 

2  is  good  for  a  man  not  to  touch  a  woman.     But,  be 
cause  of  fornications,  let  each  man  have   his   own 
wife,  and  let  each  woman  have  her  own  husband. 

3  Let  the  husband  render  unto  the  wife  her  due  :  and 

4  likewise  also  the  wife  unto  the  husband.  The  wife 
hath  not  power  over  her  own  body,  but  the  hus- 
band :  and  likewise  also  the  husband  hath  not  power 

5  over  his  own  body,  but  the  wife.  Defraud  ye  not 
one  the  other,  except  it  be  by  consent  for  a  season, 
that  ye  may  give  yourselves  unto  prayer,  and  may 
be  together  again,  that  Sa'tan  tempt  you  not  because 

6  of  your  incontinency.     But  this  I  say  by  way  of 

7  permission,  not  of  commandment.  ^Yet  I  would 
that  all  men  were  even  as  I  myself.  Howbeit  each 
man  hath  his  own  gift  from  God,  one  after  this 
manner,  and  another  after  that. 

8  But  I  say  to  the  unmarried  and  to  widows.  It  is 

9  good  for  them  if  they  abide  even  as  I.  But  if  they 
have  not  continency,  let  them  marry  :  for  it  is  better 

10  to  marry  than  to  burn.  But  unto  the  married  I  give 
charge,  yea  not  I,  but  the  Lord,  That  the  wife  de- 
ll part  not  from  her  husband  (but  and  if  she  depart,  let 
her  remain  unmarried,  or  else  be  reconciled  to  her 
husband) ;  and  that  the  husband  leave  not  his  wife. 
12 But  to  the  rest  say  I,  not  the  Lord:  If  any  brother 
hath  an  unbelieving  wife,  and  she  is  content  to  dwell 

13  with  him,  let  him  not  leave  her.  And  the  woman 
which  hath  an  unbelieving  husband,  and  he  is  con^ 
tent  to  dwell  with  her,  let  her  not  leave  her  bus 

14  band.  For  the  unbelieving  husband  is  sanctified  in 
the  wife,  and  the  unbelieving  wife  is  sanctified  in  the 
brother :  else  were  your  children  unclean ;    but  now 

15  are  they  holy.  Yet  if  the  unbelieving  departeth,  let 
him  depart:  the  brother  or  the  sister  is  not  under 
bondage  in  such  cases:  but  God  hath  called  'us  in 

16  peace.  For  how  knowest  thou,  O  wife,  whether 
thou  shalt  save  thy  husband?  or  how  knowest  thou, 
O   husband,  whether    thou    shalt    save    thy    wife? 

17  Only,  as  the  Lord  hath  distributed  to  each  man,  as 
God  hath  called  each,  so  let  him  walk.     And  so  or 

18dain  I  in   all   the  churches.     Was  any  man  called 
being  circumcised?  let  him  not  become  uncircum 
cised.      Hath  any  been    called    in    uncircumcision? 

19  let  him  not  be  circumcised.  Circumcision  is  noth 
ing,  and  uncircumcision  is  nothing ;  but  the  keeping 

20  of  the  commandments  of  God.     Let  each  man  abide 

21  in  that  calling  wherein  he  was  called.  Wast  thou 
called  being  a  bondservant  ?  care  not  for  it :  'but  if 

22  thou  canst  become  free,  use  it  rather.  For  he  that 
was  called  in  the  Lord,  being  a  bondservant,  is  the 
Lord's  freedman :  likewise  he  that  was  called,  being 

23  free,  is  Christ's  bondservant.     Ye  were  bought  with 

24  a  price ;  become  not  bondservants  of  men.  Brethrtn, 
let  each  man,  wherein  he  was  called,  therein  abide 
with  God. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins  I  have  no  commandment  of 
the  Lord  :  but  I  give  my  judgement,  as  one  that  hath 

26  obtained  mercy  of  the  Lord  to  be  faithful.  I  think 
therefore  that  this  is  good  by  reason  of  the  present 
distress,  namely,  that  it  is  good  for  a  man  *to  be  as  he  is.

27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a  wife?  seek  not  to  be  loosed 
Art  thou  loosed  from  a  wife?  seek  not  a  wife, 

28  But  and  if  thou  marry,  thou  hast  not  sinned ;  and  if  a 
virgin  marry,  she  hath  not  sinned.  Nevertheless  such  shall 
have  trouble  in  the  flesh :  but  I  spare  you. 

29  But  "this  I  .say,  brethren,  the  time  is  short :  it  remaineth, 
that  both  they  that  have  wives  be  as  though  they  had  none; 

30  And  they  that  weep,  as  though  they  wept  not;  and 
they  that  rejoice,  as  though  they  rejoiced  not;  and  they  that 
buy,  as  though  they  possessed  not; 

31  And  they  that  use  this  world,  as  not  'abusing  it:  for 
'the  fashion  of  this  world  passeth  away. 

32  But  I  would  have  you  without  carefulness.  *He  that 
is  unmarried  careth  for  the  things  fthat  belong  to  the  Lord, 
how  he  may  please  the  Lord : 

33  But  he  that  is  married  careth  for  the  things  that  are  of 
the  world,  how  he  may  please  his  wife. 

34  There  is  diiference  also  between  a  wife  and  a  virgin. 
The  unmarried  woman  'careth  for  the  things  of  the  Lord, 
that  she  may  be  holy  both  in  body  and  in  spirit:  but  she 
that  is  married  careth  for  the  things  of  the  world,  how  she 
may  please  her  husband. 

35  And  this  I  speak  for  your  own  profit;  not  that  I  may 
cast  a  snare  upon  you,  but  for  that  which  is  comely,  and 
that  ye  may  attend  upon  the  Lord  without  distraction. 

36  But  if  any  man  think  that  he  behaveth  himself  un- 
comely toward  his  virgin,  if  she  pass  the  flower  of  her  age, 
and  need  so  require,  let  him  do  what  he  will,  he  sinneth 
not :  let  them  marry. 

37  Nevertheless  he  that  standeth  steadfast  in  his  heart, 
having  no  necessity,  but  hath  power  over  his  own  will, 
and  hath  so  decreed  in  his  heart  that  he  will  keep  his  virgin, 
doeth  well. 

38  "'So  then  he  that  giveth  her  in  marriage  doeth  well; 
but  he  that  giveth  her  not  in  marriage  doeth  better. 

?9  "The  wife  is  bound  by  the  law  as  long  as  her  husband 
liveth ;  but  if  her  husband  be  dead,  she  is  at  liberty  to  be 
married  to  whom  she  will;  "only  in  the  Lord. 

40  But  she  is  happier  if  she  so  abide  "after  my  judgment: 
and  'I  think  also  that  I  have  the  Spirit  of  God. 

CHAPTER    VIII, 

To  abstain  from  forbidden  meats. 

"YTOW  "as  touching  things  oflered  unto  idols,  we  know 
J-i  that  we  all  have  'knowledge.  "Knowledge  puffeth  up, 
but  charity  edifieth. 

2  And  ''if  any  man  think  that  he  knoweth  any  thing,  he 
knoweth  nothing  yet  as  he  ought  to  know. 

3  But  if  any  man  love  God,  "the  same  is  known  of  him. 

4  As  concerning  therefore  the  eating  of  those  thjngs  that 
are  offered  in  sacrifice  unto  idols,  we  know  that  ■'ian  idol  is 
nothing  in  the  world,  "and  that  there  is  none  other  God  but  one. 

5  For  though  there  be  that  are  *called  gods,  whether  in 
heaven  or  in  earth,  (as  there  be  gods  many  and  lords  many,) 

6  But  'to  us  there  is  but  one  God,  the  Father,  *of  whom 
are  all  things,  and  we  ||in  him;  and  'one  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

by  whom  are  all  things,  and  we  by  him. 

7  HowbeitiAeret«not  in  every  man  that  knowledge :  for  some 
"with  conscience  of  the  idol  unto  this  hour  eat  it  as  a  thing  of- 
fered unto  an  idol ;  and  their  conscience  being  weak  is  "defiled. 

8  BufmeatcommendethusnottoGod:  for  neither,  if  we  eat, 
II are  we  the  better;  neither,  if  we  eat  not,  ||are  we  the  worse. 

9  But  'take  heed  lest  by  any  means  this  ||  liberty  of  yours 
become  'a  stumblingblock  to  them  that  are  weak. 

10  For  if  any  man  see  thee  which  hast  knowledge  sit  at 
meat  in  the  idol's  temple,  shall  not  'the  conscience  of  him 
which  is  weak  be  femboldened  to  eat  those  things  which 
are  offered  to  idols; 

11  And  "through  thy  knowledge  shall  the  weak  brother 
perish,  for  whom  Christ  died  ? 


27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a  wife?  seek  not  to  be  loosed. 

28  Art  thou  loosed  from  a  wife?  seek  not  a  wife.  But 
and  if  thou  marry,  thou  hast  not  sinned;  and  if 
a  virgin  marry,  she  hath  not  sinned.  Yet  such 
shall   have  tribulation   in  the   flesh :    and   I   would 

29  spare  you.  But  this  I  say,  brethren,  the  time  'is 
shortened,    that    henceforth    both    those  that    have 

30 wives  may  be  as  though  they  had  none;  and  those 
that  weep,  as  though  they  wept  not ;  and  those  that 
rejoice,  as  though  they  rejoiced  not;  and  those  that 

31  buy,  as  though  they  possessed  not ;  and  those  that 
use  the   world,  as  not  Abusing  it:  for  the  fashion 

32  of  this  world  passeth  away.  But  I  would  have 
you  to  be  free  from  cares.  He  that  is  unmarried  is 
careful  for  the  things  of  the    Lord,   how   he    may 

33  please  the  Lord :  but  he  that  is  married  is  careful 
for  the  things  of  the  world,  how  he  may  please  his 

34^wife.  And  there  is  a  difference  also  between  the 
wife  and  the  virgin.  She  that  is  unmarried  is  care- 
ful for  the  things  of  the  Lord,  that  she  may  be  holy 
both  in  body  and  in  spirit:  but  she  that  is  married 
is  careful  for  the  things  of  the  world,  how  she  may 

35  please  her  Busband.  And  this  I  say  for  your  own 
profit;  not  that  I  may  cast  a  ^snare  upon  you,  but 
for  that  which  is  seemly,  and  that  ye  may  attend 

36  upon  the  Lord  without  distraction.  But  if  any  man 
thinketh  that  he  behaveth  himself  unseemly  toward 
his  'virgin  daughter,  Ai  she  be  past  the  flower  of  her 
age,  and  if  need  so  requireth,  let  him  do  what  he 

37 will;  he  sinneth  not;  let  them  marry.  But  he  that 
standeth  stedfast  in  his  heart,  having  no  nece.ssity, 
but  hath  power  as  touching  his  own  will,  and  hath 
determined  this  in  his  own  heart,  to  keep  his  own  *vir 

38  gin  daughter,  shall  do  well.  So  then  both  he  that  giv' 
eth  his  own  'virgin  daughter  in  marriage  doeth  well; 
and  he  that  giveth  her  not  in  marriage  shall  do  bet- 

39  ter.  A  wife  is  bound  for  so  long  time  as  her  husband 
liveth;  but  if  the  husband  be  Mead,  she  is  free  to  be 

40  married  to  whom  she  will;  only  in  the  Lord.  But 
she  is  happier  if  she  abide  as  she  is,  after  my  judge- 
ment :  and  I  think  that  I  also  have  the  Spirit  of  God 

O  Now  concerning  things  sacrificed  to  idols:  We 
know  that    M'e    all    have    knowledge.     Knowledge 

2  puffeth  up,  but  love  'edifieth.  If  any  man  thinketh 
that  he  knoweth  any  thing,  he  knoweth  not  yet  as 

3 he  ought  to  know;  but  if  any  man  loveth  God,  the 

4  same  is  known  of  him.  Concerning  therefore  the 
eating  of  things  sacrificed  to  idols,  we  know  that  no 
idol  is  anything  in  the  world,  and  that  there  is  no 

5  God  but  one.  For  though  there  be  that  are  called 
gods,  whether  in  heaven  or  on  earth;  as  there  are 

6  gods  many,  and  lords  many ;  yet  to  us  there  is  one 
God,  the  Father,  of  whom  are  all  things,  and  we  unto 
him;  and  one  Lord,  Jesus  Christ,  through  whom 

7  are  all  things,  and  we  through  him.  Howbeit  in  all 
men  there  is  not  that  knowledge:  but  some,  being 
used  until  now  to  the  idol,  eat  as  q/"  a  thing  sacri- 
ficed to  an  idol :  and  their  conscience  being  weak  is 

8  defiled.  But  meat  will  not  commend  us  to  God : 
neither,  if  we  eat  not,  *are  we  the  worse ;   nor  if 

9  we  eat  'are  we  the  better.  But  take  heed  lest  by 
any  means  this  '"liberty  of  yours  become  a  stum- 

lOblingblock  to  the  weak.  For  if  a  man  see  thee 
which  hast  knowledge  sitting  at  meat  in  an  idol's 
temple,  will  not  his  conscience,  if  he  is  weak, 
"be   emboldened  to   eat  things  socrificed  to  idols? 

11  For  'through  thy  knowledge  he  that  is  weak  per- 
isheth,   the   brother    for    whose    sake    Christ  died.

12  But  *when  ye  sin  so  against  the  brethren,  and  wound 
their  ■weak  conscience,  ye  sin  against  Christ. 

13  Wherefore,  "if  meat  make  my  brother  to  offend,  I  will 
eat  no  flesh  while  the  world  standeth,  lest  I  make  my  brother 
to  offend. 

CHAPTER   IX. 

Ministers  have  a  right  to  a  maintenance. 

AM  "I  not  an  apostle?  am  I  not  free?  'have  I  not  seen 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord?  "are  not  ye  my  work  in  the  Lord  ? 

2  If  I  be  not  an  apostle  unto  others,  yet  doubtless  I  am  to 
you :  for  ''the  seal  of  mine  apostlesbip  are  ye  in  the  Lord. 

3  Mine  answer  to  them  that  do  examine  me  is  this: 

4  'Have  we  not  power  to  eat  and  to  drink? 

5  Have  we  not  power  to  lead  about  a  sister,  a  ||  wife,  as  well 
asotherapostles,and  as-''the  brethren  of  the  Lord,and''Ce'phas? 

6  Or  I  only  and  Bar'na-bas,  *have  not  we  power  to  for- 
bear working? 

7  Who  'goeth  a  warfare  any  time  at  his  own  charges  ?  who 
*planteth  a  vineyard,  and  eateth  not  of  the  fruit  thereof?  or 
who  'feedeth  a  flock,  and  eateth  not  of  the  milk  of  the  flock  ? 

8  Say  I  these  things  as  a  man?  or  saith  not  the  law  the 
same  also  ? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  "'Thou  shalt  not 
muzzle  the  mouth  of  the  ox  that  treadeth  out  the  corn. 
Doth  God  take  care  for  oxen  ? 

10  Or  saith  he  it  altogether  for  our  sakes?  For  our  sakes 
no  doubt,  this  is  written :  that  "he  that  plougheth  should 
plough  in  hope ;  and  that  he  that  thresheth  in  hope,  should 
be  partaker  of  his  hope. 

1 1  "If  we  have  sown  unto  you  spiritual  things,  is  it  a  great 
thing  if  we  shall  reap  your  carnal  things  ? 

12  If  others  be  partakers  of  this  power  over  you,  are  not  we 
rather  ?  "Nevertheless  we  have  not  used  this  power ;  but 
suffer  all  things,  "lest  we  should  hinder  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

13  'Do  ye  not  know  that  they  which  minister  about  holy 
things  II  live  of  the  things  of  the  temple  ?  and  they  which  wait 
at  the  altar  are  partakers  with  the  altar  ? 

14  Even  so  'hath  the  Ijord  ordained  that  they  which 
preach  the  gospel  should  live  of  the  gospel. 

15  Buflhaveusednoneofthesethings:  neitherhavelwritten 
these  things,  that  it  should  be  so  done  unto  me:  for'^iiwere  better 
for  me  to  die,  than  that  any  man  should  make  my  glorying  void. 

16  For  though  I  preach  the  gospel,  I  have  nothing  to  glory 
of:  for  "necessity  is  laid  upon  me ;  yea,  woe  is  unto  me,  if  I 
preach  not  the  gospel ! 

17  For  if  I  do  this  thing  willingly,  "I  have  a  reward  :  but 
if  against  my  will,  "a  dispensation  q/^Ae^'ospeZ  is  committed 
unto  me. 

18  What  is  my  reward  then?  Verily  that,  ''when  I  preach 
the  gospel,  I  may  make  the  gospel  of  Christ  without  charge, 
that  I  "^abuse  not  my  power  in  the  gospel. 

19  For  though  I  be  ''free  from  all  men,  yet  have  'I  made 
myself  servant  unto  all,  -^that  I  might  gain  the  more. 

20  And  "unto  the  Jews  I  became  as  a  Jew,  that  I  might 
gain  the  Jews;  to  them  that  are  under  the  law,  as  under 
the  law,  that  I  might  gain  them  that  are  under  the  law  ; 

21  'To  'them  that  are  without  law,  as  without  law,  (''being 
not  without  law  to  God,  but  under  the  law  to  Christ,)  that 
I  might  gain  them  that  are  without  law. 

22  'To  the  weak  became  I  as  weak,  that  I  might  gain  the 
weak :  '"I  am  made  all  things  to  alf  men,  "that  I  might  by 
all  means  save  some. 

23  And  this  I  do  for  the  gospel's  sake,  that  I  might  be 
partaker  thereof  with  you. 

24  Know  ye  not,  that  they  which  run  in  a  race  run  all, 
but  one  receiveth  the  prize  ?     "So  run  that  ye  may  obtain. 

25  And  every  man  that  ''striveth  for  the  mastery  is  tem- 
perate in  all  things.  Now  they  do  it  to  obtain  a  corruptible 
crown;  but  we  «an  incorruptible. 


12  And  thus,  sinning  against  the  brethren,  and  wound- 
mg  their  conscience  when  it  is  weak,  ye  sin  against 

13  Christ.  Wherefore,  if  meat  maketh  my  brother  to 
stumble,  I  will  eat  no  flesh  for  evermore,  that  I 
make  not  my  brother  stumble. 

V  Am  I  not  free  ?  am  I  not  an  apostle  ?  have  I  not 
seen  Jesus  our  Lord?  are  not  ye  my  work  in  the 

2  Lord  ?  If  to  others  I  am  not  an  apostle,  yet  at  least 
I  am  to  you:  for  the  seal  of  mine  apostlesbip  are  ye 

3  in  the  Lord.     My  defence  to  them  that  examine  me 
4 is  this.     Have  we  no  right  to   eat  and  to  drink? 

5  Have  we  no  right  to  lead  about  a  wife  that  is  a  'be- 
liever, even  as  the  rest  of  the  apostles,  and  the  breth- 

6  ren  of  the  Lord,  and  Ce'phas  ?  Or  I  only  and  Bar'- 
na-bas, have  we  not  a   right  to  forbear  working? 

7  What  soldier  ever  serveth  at  his  own  charges?  who 
planteth  a  vineyard,  and  eateth  not  the  fruit  thereof? 
or  who  feedeth  a  flock,  and   eateth  not  of  the  milk 

8 of  the  flock?  Do  I  speak  these  things  after  the 
manner  of  men  ?  or  saith  not  the  law  also  the  same  ? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Mo'ses,  Thou  shalt  not 
muzzle  the  ox  M'hen  he  treadeth  out  thec^rn.     Is  it 

10  for  the  oxen  that  God  careth,  or  ^saith  he  it  altogether 
for  our  sake  ?  Yea,  for  our  sake  it  was  written :  be^ 
cause  he  that  ploweth  ought  to  plow  in  hope,  and 
he    that    thresheth,  to  thresh  in  hope  of  partaking, 

11  If  we  sowed  unto  you  spiritual  things,  is  it  a  great 
12matter  if  weshall  reap  your  carnal  things  ?     If  others 

partake  of  this  right  over  you,  do  not  we  yet  more  ? 
Nevertheless  we  did  not  use  this  right ;  but  we  bear 
all  things,  that  we  may  cause   no    hindrance  to  the 

13gospel  of  Christ.  Know  ye  not  that  they  which 
minister  about  sacred  things  eat  of  the  things  of  the 
temple,  and  they  which  wait  upon  the  altar  have 

14their  portion  with  the  altar?  Even  so  did  the  Lord 
ordain  that  they  which  proclaim  the  gospel  should 

15  live  of  the  gospel.  But  I  have  used  none  of  these 
things :  and  I  write  not  these  things  that  it  may  be 
so  done  in  my  case :  for  it  were  good  for  me  rather 
to  die,  than  that  any  man  should  make  my  glorying 

16  void.  For  if  I  preach  the  gospel,  I  have  nothing 
to  glory  of:  for  necessity  is  laid  upon  me ;  for  woe 

17  is  unto  me,  if  I  preach  not  the  gospel.  For  if  I  do 
this  of  mine  own  will,  I  have  a  reward :  but  if  not 
of  mine  own  will,  I  have  a  stewardship  intrusted  to 

18  me.  What  then  is  my  reward  ?  That,  when  I  preach 
the  gospel,  I  may  make  the  gospel  without  charge, 
so  as  not  to  use  to  the  full  my  right  in  the  gospel. 

19  For  though  I  was  free  from  all  men,  I  brought  my- 
self under  bondage  to  all,  that  I  might  gain  the  more. 

20  And  to  the  Jews  I  became  as  a  Jew,  that  I  might 
gain  Jews ;  to  them  that  are  under  the  law,  as  under 
the  law,  not  being  myself  under  the  law,  that  I  might 

21  gain  them  that  are  under  the  law;  to  them  that  are 
without  law,  as  without  law,  not  being  without  law 
to  God,  but  under  law  to  Christ,  that  I  might  gain 

22  them  that  are  without  law.  To  the  weak  I  became 
weak,  that  I  might  gain  the  weak :  I  am  become  all 
things  to  all    men,  that  I   may   by  all   means  save 

23  some.     And  I  do  all   things  for  the  gospel's   sake, 

24  that  I  maybe  a  joint  partaker  thereof.  Know  ye 
not  that  they  which  run  in  a  'race  run  all,  but  one 
receiveth  the  prize  ?     Even  so  run,  that  ye  may  at- 

25  tain.  And  every  man  that  striveth  in  the  games 
is  temperate  in  all  things.  Now  they  do  it  to  re- 
ceive a  corruptible  crowH*;  but  we  an  incorruptible.

26  I  thereibre  so  nm,  ''aot  as  uncertainly  j  so  fight  I,  not 
as  one  that  beateth  the  air : 

27  'But  I  keep  under  my  body,  and  "bring  it  into  subjec- 
tion :  lest  that  by  any  means,  when  I  have  preached  to 
others,  I  myself  should  be  "a  castaway. 

CHAPTER  X. 

Of  ike  Jewish  sacraments. 

MOREOVER,  brethren,  I  would  not  that  ye  should  be 
ignorant,  how  that  all  our  fathers  were  under  "the  cloud, 
and  all  passed  through  Hhe  sea; 

2  And  wereall  baptized  unto  Mo'ses  in  the  cloud  and  inthesea; 

3  And  did  all  eat  the  same  "spiritual  meat; 

4  And  did  all  drink  the  same  ''spiritual  drink:  for  they 
drank  of  that  spiritual  Rock  that  |{  followed  them :  and  that 
Rock  was  Christ. 

5  But  with  many  of  them  God  was  not  well  pleased :  for 
they  'were  overthrown  in  the  wilderness. 

6  Now  these  things  were  four  examples,  to  the  intent  we 
should  not  lust  after  evil  things,  as  ■'they  also  lusted. 

7  'Neither  be  ye  idolaters,  as  were  some  of  them ;  as  it 
is  written,  'The  people  sat  down  to  eat  and  drink,  and  rose 
up  to  play. 

8  'Neither  let  us  commit  fornication,  as  some  of  them 
committed,  and  *fell  in  one  day  three  and  twenty  thousand. 

9  Neither  let  us  tempt  Christ,  as  'some  of  them.also  tempted, 
and  "were  destroyed  of  serpents. 

10  Neither  murmur  ye,  as  "some  of  them  also  murmured, 
and  "were  destroyed  of  "the  destroyer. 

11  Now  all  these  things  happened  unto  them  for  Hen- 
samples  :  and  'they  are  written  for  our  admonition,  'upon 
whom  the  ends  of  the  world  are  come. 

12  Wherefore  'let  him  that  thinketh  he  standeth  take  heed 
lest  he  fall. 

13  There  hath  no  temptation  taken  you  but  ||such  as  is 
common  to  man :  but  'God  is  faithful,  "who  will  not  suffer 
you  to  be  tempted  above  that  ye  are  able ;  but  will  with  the 
temptation  also  "make  a  way  to  escape,  that  ye  may  be  able 
to  bear  it. 

14  Wherefore,  my  dearly  beloved,  "flee  from  idolatry. 

15  I  speak  as  to  wise  'men;  judge  ye  what  I  say. 

16  "The  cup  of  blessing  which  we  bless,  is  it  not  the  com- 
munion of  the  blood  of  Christ?  'The  bread  which  we 
break,  is  it  not  the  communion  of  the  body  of  Christ? 

17  For  "we  being  many  are  one  bread,  and  one  body :  for 
we  are  all  partakers  of  that  one  bread. 

18  Behold  ''Is'ra-el  'after  the  flesh :  'are  not  they  which  eat 
of  the  sacrifices  partakers  of  the  altar? 

19  What  say  I  then?  "that  the  idol  is  any  thing,  or  .that 
which  is  offered  in  sacrifice  to  idols  is  any  thing? 

20  But  I  say,  that  the  things  which  the  Gentiles  ''sacrifice, 
they  sacrifice  to  devils,  and  not  to  God :  and  I  would  not 
that  ye  should  have  fellowship  with  devils. 

21  *Ye  cannot  drink  the  cup  of  the  Lord,  and  *the  cup  of 
devils :  ye  cannot  be  partakers  of  the  Lord's  table,  and  of 
the  table  of  devils. 

22  Do  we  'provoke  the  Lord  to  jealousy  ?  "are  we  stronger 
than  he? 

23  "All  things  are  lawful  for  me,  but  all  things  are  not  ex- 
pedient :  all  things  are  lawful  for  me,  but  all  things  edify  not. 

24  "Let  no  man  seek  his  own,  but  every  man  another's  wealth. 

25  "Whatsoever  is  sold  in  the  shambles,  thai  eat,  asking  no 
question  for  conscience'  sake : 

26  For  'the  earth  is  the  Lord's,  and  the  fulness  thereof. 

27  If  any  of  them  that  believe  not  bid  you  to  a  feast,  and 
ye  be  disposed  to  go ;  'whatsoever  is  set  before  you,  eat, 
asking  no  question  for  conscience'  sake. 

28  But  if  any  man  say  unto  you,  This  is  offered  in  sacrifice 
unto  idols,  eat  not  'for  his  sake  that  shewed  it,  and  for  con- 
science' sake :  for  'the  earth  lithe  Lord 's,  and  the  fulness  thereof: 


261  tnereibre  so  run,  as  not  uncertainiy;   so  'fight  I 
27  as  not  beating  the  air  s    but  I  %uffet  my  body,  and 
bring  it  into   bondage:    lest  by   any   means,  after 
that  I  have  preached  to  others,  I  myself  should  be 
rejected. 

4- V     For  I  would  not,  brethren,  have  you  ignorant,  how 

that  our  fathers  were  all  under  the  cloud,  and  all 

2 passed  through  the  sea;  and  were  all  baptized  'unto 

3 Mo'ses  in  the  cloud  and  in  the  sea;  and  did  all  eat 

4 the  same  spiritual  meat;  and  did  all  drink  the  same 

spiritual  drink :  for  they  drank  of  a  spiritual  rock 

5 that  followed  them:  and  the  rock  was  Christ.  How 

belt  with  most  of  them  God  was  not  well  pleased : 

6  for  they  were  overthrown  in  the  wilderness.  Now 
*these  things  were  our  examples,  to  the  intent  we 
should  not  lust  after  evil  things,  as  they  also  lusted 

7  Neither  be  ye  idolaters,  as  were  some  of  them ;  as 
it  is  written.  The  people  sat  down  to  eat  and  drink, 

Sand  rose  up  to  play.  Neither  let  us  commit  forni- 
cation, as  some  of  them  committed,  and  fell  in  one 

9  day  three  and  twenty  thousand.  Neither  let  us 
tempt  the  'Lord,  as   some   of  them   tempted,  and 

10  perished  by  the  serpents.  Neither  murmur  ye,  as 
some  of  them  murmured,  and  perished  by  the  de 

11  stroyer.  Now  these  things  happened  unto  them  "by 
way  of  example ;  and  they  were  written  for  our  ad- 
monition, upon  whom  the  ends  of  the  ages  are  come. 

12  Wherefore  let  him  that  thinketh   he  standeth  take 

13  heed  lest  he  fall.  There  hath  no  temptation  taken 
you  but  such  as  man  can  bear:  but  God  is  faithful, 
who  will  not  suffer  you  to  be  tempted  above  that  ye 
are  able ;  but  will  with  the  temptation  make  also  the 
way  of  escape,  that  ye  may  be  able  to  endure  it, 

"      Wherefore,  my  beloved,  flee  from  idolatry.    I  speak 

16 as  to  wise  men;  judge  ye  what  I  say.     The  cup  of 

blessing  which  we  bless,  is  it  not  a  'communion  of 

the  blood  of  Christ?    The  'bread  which  we  break, 

17  is  it  not  a  'communion  of  the  body  of  Christ  ?  'see 
ing  that  we,  who  are  many,  are  one  'bread,  one  body 

18  for  we  all  partake  '"of  the  one  'bread.  Behold  Is'ra-el 
after  the  flesh :  have  not  they  which  eat  the  sacrifices 

19 communion  with  the  altar?  What  say  I  then?  that 
a  thing  sacrificed  to  idols  is  anything,  or  that  an  idol 

20  is  anything  ?  But  I  say,  that  the  things  which  the 
Gentiles  sacrifice,  they  sacrifice  to  "devils,  and  not  to 
God:  and  I  would  not  that  ye   should  have   com- 

21  munion  with  "devils.  Ye  cannot  drink  the  cup  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  cup  of  "devils:  ye  cannot  partake 
of  the  table  of  the  Lord,  and  of  the  table  of  "devils. 

22 Or  do  we  provoke  the  Lord  to  jealousy?   are  we 

stronger  than  he? 
23     All   things  are   lawful;   but  all   things  are   not 

expedient.     All  things  are  lawful ;   but  all  things 
24'^edify  not.     Let  no   man  seek  his   own,  but  each 

25  his  neighbour's  ^ood.  Whatsoever  is  sold  in  the 
shambles,  eat,  asking   no    question    for    conscience 

26  sake ;  for  the  earth  is  the   Lord's,  and  the  fulness 

27  thereof  If  one  of  them  that  believe  not  biddeth 
you  to  a  feast,  and  ye  are  disposed  to  go  ;  whatso- 
ever is   set  before  you,  eat,  asking  no  question  for 

28  conscience  sake.  But  if  any  man  say  unto  you. 
This  hath  been  offered  in  sacrifice,  eat  not,  for 
his  sake  that  shewed  it,  and  for  conscience  sake:

CHAF'TER  XI. 

Of  covering  heads  in  prayer. 

BE  "ye  followers  of  me,  even  as  I  also  am.  of  Christ. 
2  Now  I  praise  you,  brethren,  Hhatye  remember  me  in  all 
things,  and  "keep  the  l|ordinances,  as  I  delivered  (hem  to  you. 

3  But  I  would  have  you  know,  that  ''the  head  of  every 
man  is  Christ ;  and  'the  head  of  the  woman  is  the  man  ; 
and  -^the  head  of  Christ  is  God. 

4  Every  man  praying  or  "prophesying,  having  his  head 
covered,  dishonoureth  his  head. 

5  But  *every  woman  that  prayeth  or  prophesieth  with  her 
head  uncovered  dishonoureth  her  head :  for  that  is  even  all 
one  as  if  she  were  'shaven. 

6  For  if  the  woman  be  not  covered,  let  her  also  be  shorn : 
but  if  it  be  *a  shame  for  a  woman  to  be  shorn  or  shaven, 
let  her  be  covered. 

7  For  a  man  indeed  ought  not  to  cover  his  head,  forasmuch 
as  'he  is  the  image  and  glory  of  God :  but  the  woman  is  the 
glory  of  the  man. 

8  For"'themaaisnotofthewoman;  butthewomanoftheman 

9  "Neither  was  the  man  created  for  the  woman;  but  the 
woman  for  the  man. 

10  For  this  cause  ought  the  woman  "to  have  1|  power  on 
her  head  ''because  of  the  angels. 

11  Nevertheless  'neither  is  the  man  without  the  woman, 
neither  the  woman  without  the  man,  in  the  Lord. 

12  For  as  the  woman  is  of  the  man,  even  so  is  the  man 
also  by  the  woman;  ''but  all  things  of  God. 

13  Judge  in  yourselves:  is  it  comely  that  a  woman  pray 
unto  God  uncovered? 

14  Doth  not  even  nature  itself  teach  you,  that  if  a  man 
have  long  hair,  it  is  a  shame  unto  him? 

15  But  if  a  woman  have  long  hair,  it  is  a  glory  to  her:  for 
her  hair  is  given  her  for  a  ||  covering. 

16  But  'if  any  man  seem  to  be  contentious,  we  have  no 
such  custom,  'neither  the  churches  of  God. 

17  Now  in  this  that  I  declare  unto  you  I  praise  you  not, 
that  ye  come  together  not  for  the  better,  but  for  the  worse. 

18  For  first  of  all,  when  ye  come  together  in  the  church, 
"I  hear  that  there  be  |1  divisions  among  you;  and  I  partly 
believe  it. 

19  For  'there  must  be  also  ||  heresies  among  you,  "that 
they  which  are  approved  may  be  made  manifest  among  you. 

20  When  ye  come  together  therefore  into  one  place,  ||  this 
is  not  to  eat  the  Lord's  supper. 

21  For  in  eating  every  one  taketh  before  other  his  own 
supper:  and  one  is  hungry,  and  'another  is  drunken. 

22  What!  have  ye  not  houses  to  eat  and  to  drink  in?  or 
despise  ye  "the  church  of  God,  and  'shame  ||them  that  have 
not?  What  shall  I  say  to  you?  shall  I  praise  you  in  this? 
I  prai.se  you,  not. 

23  For  "I  have  received  of  the  Lord  that  which  also  I  de- 
livered unto  you,  ''That  the  Lord  Jesus,  the  same  night  in 
which  he  was  betrayed,  took  bread : 

24  And  when  he  had  given  thanks,  he  brake  it,  and  said, 
Take,  eat;  this  is  my  body,  which  is  broken  for  you:  this 
do  II  in  remembrance  of  me. 

25  After  the  same  manner  also  he  took  the  cup,  when  he 
had  supped,  saying.  This  cup  is  the  new  testament  in  my 


29  conscience,  I  say,  not  thine  own,  but  the  other't ; 
for  why  is  my  liberty  judged  by  another  conscience? 

30  'If  I  by  grace  partake,  why  am  I  evil  spoken  of  for 

31  that  for  which  I  give  thanks?  Whether  therefore 
ye  eat,  or  drink,  or  whatsoever  ye  do,  do  all  to  the 

32  glory  of  God.  Give  no  occasion  of  stumbling,  either 
to  Jews,  or  to  Greeks,  or  to   the  church  of  God : 

33  even  as  I  also  please  all  men  in  all  thing.s,  not  seek- 

Uing  mine  own  profit,  but  the  profit  of  the  many,  that 
they  may  be  saved.  Be  ye  imitators  of  me,  even  as 
I  also  am  of  Christ. 

2  Now  I  praise  you  that  ye  remember  me  in  all  things, 
and  hold  fast  the  traditions,  even  as  I  delivered  them 

3  to  "you.  But  I  would  have  you  know,  that  the  head 
of  every  man  is  Christ ;  and  the  head  of  the  woman 

4  is  the  man  ;  and  the  head  of  Christ  is  God.  Every 
man   praying  or  prophesying,  having  his  head  cov- 

5  ered,  dishonoureth  his  head.  But  every  woman  pray- 
ing or  prophesying  with  her  head  unveiled  dishon- 
oureth her  head :  for  it  is  one  and  the  same  thing  as 

6  if  she  were  shaven.  For  if  a  woman  is  not  veiled, 
let  her  also  be  shorn :  but  if  it  is  a  shame  to  a  woman 

7  to  be  shorn  or  shaven,  let  her  be  veiled.  For  a  man 
indeed  ought  not  to  have  his  head  veiled,  forasmuch 
as  he  is  the  image  and  glory  of  God  :  but  the  woman 

8  is  the  glory  of  the  man.     For  the  man  is  not  of  the 

9  woman ;  but  the  woman  of  the  man  :  for  neither  was 
the  man  created  for  the  woman ;  but  the  woman  for 

10  the  man :  for  this  cause  ought  the  woman  to  'have 
a  sign  of  authority  on  her  head,  because  of  the  angels. 

11  Howbeit  neither  is  the  woman  without  the  man,  nor 

12  the  man  without  the  woman,  in  the  Lord.     For 
the  woman  is  of  the  man,  so  is  the  man  also  by  the 

13 woman;  but  all  things  are  of  God.  Judge  ye  Mn  ye 
yourselves :  is  it  seemly  that  a  woman  pray  unto  God 

14 unveiled?  Doth  not  even  nature  itself  teach  you, 
that,  if  a  man  have  long  hair,  it  is  a  dishonour  to 

15  him  ?     But  if  a  woman  have  long  hair,  it  is  a  glory 

16 to  her:  for  her  hair  is  given  her  for  a  covering.  But 
if  any  man  seemeth  to  be  contentious,  we  have  no 
such  custom,  neither  the  churches  of  God. 

17  But  in  giving  you  this  charge,  I  praise  you  not, 
that  ye  come  together  not  for  the  better  but  for  the 

18  worse.  For  first  of  all,  when  ye  come  together  *in 
the  church,  I  hear  that  'divisions  exist  among  you ; 

19  and  I  partly  believe  it.  For  there  must  be  also 
'heresies  among  you,  that  they  which  are  approved 

20  may  be  made  manifest  among  you.  When  therefore 
ye  assemble  yourselves  together,  it  is  not  possible 

21  to  eat  the  Lord's  supper:  for  in  your  eating  each 
one  taketh  before  other  his   own  supper ;    and  one 

22 is  hungry,  and  another  is  drunken.  What?  have 
ye  not  houses  to  eat  and  to  drink  in?  or  despise 
ye  the  'church  of  God,  and  put  them  to  shame 
that  'have  not?      What  shall  I  say  to  you?  'shall 

231  praise  you  in  this?  I  praise  you  not.  For  I 
received  of  the  Lord  that  which  also  I  delivered 
unto  you,  how  that  the  Lord  Jesus  in  the  night  in 

24  which  he  was  betrayed  took  bread ;  and  when  he 
had  given  thanks,  he  brake  it,  and  said.  This  is  my 
body,  which  '"is   for  you :  this  do  in    remembrance 

25  of  me.  In  like  manner  also  the  cup,  after  sup- 
per, saying.  This  cup  is  the   new  "covenant  in  my

blood:  this  do  je,  as  oft  ss  ye  drink  ii,  in  remembrance 
of  me. 

26  For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this  bread,  and  drink  this  cup, 
II  ye  do  shew  the  Lord's  death  'till  he  come. 

27  -^Wherefore  whosoever  shall  eat  this  bread,  and  drink 
this  cup  of  the  Lord,  unworthily,  shall  be  guilty  of  the  body 
and  blood  of  the  Lord. 

28  But  "let  a  man  examine  himself,  and  so  let  him  eat  of 
that  bread,  and  drink  of  that  cup. 

29  For  he  that  eateth  and  drinketh  unworthily,  eateth  and 
drinketh  jj  damnation  to  himself,  not  discerning  the  Lord's 
body. 

30  For  this  cause  many  are  weak  and  sickly  among  you, 
and  many  sleep. 

31  For  'if  we  would  judge  ourselves,  we  should  notbejudged. 

32  But  when  we  are  judged,  *we  are  chastened  of  the 
Lord,  that  we  should  not  be  condemned  with  the  world. 

33  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  when  ye  come  together  to  eat, 
tarry  one  for  another. 

34  And  if  any  man  *hunger,  let  him  eat  at  'home :  that  ye 
come  not  together  unto  ||  condemnation.  And  the  rest  "will 
I  set  in  order  when  "I  come. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Diversity  of  spiritual  gifts. 

"VrOW  "concerning  spiritual  gifts,  brethren,   I  would  not 
-Li    have  you  ignorant. 

2  Ye  know  Hhat  ye  were  Gentiles,  carried  away  unto  these 
"dumb  idols,  even  as  ye  were  led. 

3  Wherefore  I  give  you  to  understand,  "^^hat  no  man  speak- 
ing by  the  Spirit  of  God  calleth  Jesus  ||  accursed :  and  'that  no 
man  can  say  that  Jesus  is  the  Lord,  but  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

4  Now  ■'there  are  diversities  of  gifts,  but  'the  same  Spirit. 

5  *And  there  are  differences  of  ||  administrations,  but  the 
same  Lord. 

6  And  there  are  diversities  of  operations,  but  it  is  the 
same  God  'which  worketh  all  in  all. 

7  *But  the  manifestation  of  the  Spirit  is  given  to  every  man 
to  profit  withal. 

8  For  to  one  is  given  by  the  Spirit  *the  word  of  wisdom  ; 
to  another  ""the  word  of  knowledge  by  the  same  Spirit; 

9  "To  another  faith  by  the  same  Spirit;  to  another  "the 
gifts  of  healing  by  the  same  Spirit ; 

10  "To  another  the  working  of  miracles ;  to  another  "proph- 
ecy; 'to  another  discerning  of  spirits;  to  another  'divers 
kinds  of  tongues;  to  another  the  interpretation  of  tongues; 

11  But  all  these  worketh  that  one  and  the  selfsame  Spirit, 
'dividing  to  every  man  severally  "as  he  will. 

12  For  'as  the  body  is  one,  and  hath  many  members,  and 
all  the  members  of  that  one  body,  being  many,  are  one 
body:  "so  also  is  Christ. 

13  For  'by  one  Spirit  are  we  all  baptized  into  one  body, 
"whether  we  be  Jews  or  fGentiles,  whether  we  be  bond  or 
free;  and  *have  been  all  made  to  drink  into  one  Spirit. 

14  For  the  body  is  not  one  member,  but  many. 

15  If  the  foot  shall  say.  Because  I  am  not  the  hand,  I  am 
not  of  the  body  ;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the  body  ? 

16  And  if  the  ear  shall  say.  Because  I  am  not  the  eye,  I 
am  not  of  the  body;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the  body? 

17  If  the  whole  body  were  an  eye,  where  were  the  hear- 
ing?    If  the  whole  viere  hearing,  where  were  the  smelling? 

18  But  now  hath  "God  set  the  members  every  one  of  them 
in  the  body,  ""as  it  hath  pleased  him. 

19  And  if  they  were  all  one  member,  where  were  the  body  ? 

20  But  now  are  they  many  members,  yet  but  one  body. 

21  And  the  eye  cannot  say  unto  the  hand,  I  have  no  need 
of  thee :  nor  again  the  head  to  the  feet,  I  have  no  need  of  you. 

22  Nay,  much  more  those  members  of  the  body,  which 
seem  to  be  more  feeble,  are  necessary ; 

23  And  those  niemiers  of  the  body,  which  we  think  to  be  less 


blood:   this  do,    as  oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in  remem- 

26  brance  of  me.  For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this  bread, 
and  drink  the  cup,  ye  proclaim  the    Lord's    death 

27  till  he  come.  Wherefore  whosoever  shall  eat  the 
bread  or  drink  the  cup  of  the  Lord  unworthHy, 
shall  be  guilty  of  the  body  and  the  blood  of  the 

28  Lord.     But  let  a  man  prove  himself,  and  so  let  him 

29  eat  of  the  bread,  and  drink  of  the  cup.  For  he  that 
eateth  and  drinketh,  eateth  and  drinketh  judgement 

30  unto  himself,  if  he  'discern  not  the  body.  For  this 
cause  many  among   you   are  weak  and  sickly,  and 

31  not  a  few  sleep.     But  if  we  discerned  ourselves,  we 

32  should  not  be  judged.  But  ^when  we  are  judged, 
we  are  chastened   of  the  Lord,  that  we  may  not  be 

33  condemned  with  the  world.  Wherefore,  my  breth- 
ren, when  ye  come  together  to  eat,    wait    one   for 

34  another.  If  any  man  is  hungry,  let  him  eat  at 
home;  that  your  coming  together  be  not  unto  judge- 
ment. And  the  rest  will  I  set  in  order  whensoever 
I  come. 

4-^     Now  concerning  spiritual  gifts,  brethren,  I  would 

2  not  have  you  ignorant.  Ye  know  that  when  ye  were 
Gentiles  ye  were  led  away  unto  those   dumb    idols, 

3  howsoever  ye  might  be  led.  Wherefore  I  give  you 
to  understand,  that  no  man  speaking  in  the  Spirit  of 
God  saith,  Jesus  is  anathema ;  and  no  man  can  say, 
Jesus  is  Lord,  but  in  the  Holy  Spirit. 

4  Now  there  are  diversities  of  gifts,  but  the  same 

5  Spirit.     And  there  are  diversities  of  ministrations, 

6  and  the  same  Lord.  And  there  are  diversities  of 
workings,  but  the  same  God,  who  worketh  all  things 

7  in  all.     But  to  each  one  is  given  the  manifestation 

8  of  the  Spirit  to  profit  withal.  For  to  one  is  given 
through  the  Spirit  the  word  of  wisdom ;  and  to  an- 
other the  word  of  knowledge,  according  to  the  same 

9  Spirit:  to  another  faith,  in  the  same  Spirit;  and  to 
lOauother  gifts  of  healings,   in  the  one    Spirit;    and 

to  another  workings  of  ^miracles ;  and  to  another 
prophecy ;  and  to  another  discernings  of  spirits  :  to 
another  divers  kinds  of  tongues ;   and  to  another  the 

11  interpretation  of  tongues:  but  all  these  worketh  the 
one  and  the  same  Spirit,  dividing  to  each  one  sever- 
ally even  as  he  will. 

12  For  as  the  body  is  one,  and  hath  many  members, 
and  all  the  members  of  the  body,  being  many,  are 

13  one  body ;  so  also  is  Christ.  For  in  one  Spirit  were 
we  all  baptized  into  one  body,  whether  Jews  or 
Greeks,  whether  bond  or  free;  and  were  all  made  to 

14  drink  of  one  Spirit.     For  the  body  is  not  one  mem- 
15ber,  but  many.     If  the  foot  shall  say,  Because  I  am 

not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the  body ;  it  is  not  there- 

16  fore  not  of  the  body.  And  if  the  ear  sliall  say. 
Because  I  am  not  the  eye,  I  am  not  of  the  body ;  it 

17  is  not  therefore  not  of  the  body.  If  the  whole  body 
were  an  eye,  where  were  the  hearing?     If  the  whole 

18  were  hearing,  where  were  the  smelling?  But  now 
hath  God  set  the  members  each  one  of  them  in  the 

19  body,  even  as  it  pleased  him.     And  if  they  were  all 

20  one  member,  where  were  the  body  ?     But  now  they 

21  are  many  members,  but  one  body.  And  the  eye 
cannot  say  to  the  hand,  I  have  no  need  of  thee :  or 
again  the  head  to  the  feet,  I  have  no  need  of  you. 

22  Nay,    much    rather,    those    members   of  the   body 

23  which  seem  to  be  more  feeble  are  necessary :  and 
those  parts  of  the  body,  which  we  think  to  be  less

honourable,  upon  these  we  |!  bestow  more  abundant  honour; 
and  our  uncomely  parts  have  more  abundant  comeliness. 

24  For  our  comely  parts  have  no  heed:  but  God  hath 
tempered  the  body  together,  having  given  more  abundant 
honour  to  that  pa7-t  which  lacked : 

25  That  there  should  be  no  ||  schism  in  the  body ;  but  that 
the  members  should  have  the  same  care  one  for  another. 

26  And  whether  one  member  suffer,  all  the  members 
suffer  with  it;  or  one  member  be  honoured, all  the  members 
rejoice  with  it.

28  And  'God  hath  set  some  in  the  church,  first  *apostles, 
secondarily  'prophets,  thirdly  teachers,  after  that  *miracles,

29  Ai-e  all  apostles?  are  all  prophets  ?  are  all  teachers  ?  are 
all  II  workers  of  miracles? 

30  Have  all  the  gifts  of  healing?  do  all  speak  with 
tongues?  do  all  interpret? 

31  But  "covet  earnestly  the  best  gifts:  and  yet  shew  I 
unto  you  a  more  excellent  way. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

dyts  are  nothing  without  charity. 

rpHOUGH  I  speak  with  the  tongues  of  men  and  of  angels, 
i  and  have  not  charity,  I  am  become  as  sounding  brass, 
or  a  tinkling  cymbal. 

2  And  though  I  have  the  gift  of  "prophecy,  and  under- 
stand all  mysteries,  and  all  knowledge ;  and  though  I  have 
all  faith,  ''so  that  I  could  remove  mountains,  and  have  not 
charity,  I  am  nothing. 

3  And  ""though  I  bestow  all  my  goods  to  feed  the  poor,  and 
though  I  give  my  body  to  be  burned,  and  have  not  charity, 
it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

4  ''Charity  suffereth  long, and  is  kind;  charity  envieth  not; 
charity  ||  vaunteth  not  itself,  is  not  puffed  up, 

5  Doth  not  behave  itself  unseemly,  'seeketh  not  her  own,

6  'E-ejoiceth  not  in  iniquity,  but  -'rejoiceth  ||in  the  truth; 

7  '^Beareth  all  things,  believeth  all  things,  hopeth  all 
things,  endureth  all  things. 

8  Charity  never  faileth :  but  whether  there  be  prophecies, 
they  shall  fail ;  whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall  cease ; 
whether  there  be  knowledge,  it  shall  vanish  away. 

9  'For  we  know  in  part,  and  we  prophesy  in  part. 

10  But  when  that  which  is  perfect  is  come,  then  that  which 
is  in  part  shall  be  done  away. 

11  When  I  was  a  child,  I  spake  as  a  child,  I  understood 
as  a  child,  I  || thought  as  a  child:  but  when  I  became  a 
man,  I  put  away  childish  things. 

12  For  *now  we  see  through  a  glass,  fdarkly;  but  then 
'face  to  face:  now  I  know  in  part;  but  then  shall  I  know 
even  as  also  I  am  known. 

13  And  now  abideth  faith,  hope,  charity,  these  three;  but 
the  greatest  of  these  is  charity. 

CHAF'TKR    XIV. 

Prophecy  commended,  &c. 

FOLLOW  after  charity,  and  "desire  spiritual  gifts,  'but 
rather  that  ye  may  prophesy. 

2  For  he  that  "speaketh  in  an  unknown  tongue  speaketh  not 
unto  men,  but  unto  God:  for  no  man  funderstandeth  him; 
howbeit  in  the  spirit  he  speaketh  mysteries. 

3  But  he  that  prophesieth  speaketh  unto  men  to  edification, 
and  exhortation,  and  comfort. 

4  He  that  speaketh  in  an  unknown  tongue  edifieth  himself; 
but  he  that  prophesieth  edifieth  the  church. 

5  I  would  that  ye  all  spake  with  tongues,  but  rather  that 
ye  prophesied :  for  greater  is  he  that  prophesieth  than  he 
that  speaketh  with  tongues,  except  he  interpret,  that  the 
church  may  receive  edifying. 


honourable,  upon  these  we  'bestow  more  abundant 
honour ;  and  our  uncomely  parts  have  more  abundant 

24comeliness;  whereas  our  comely  ^arte  have  no  need: 
but  God  tempered  the  body  together,  giving  more 

25 abundant  honour  to  that  part  which  lacked;  that 
there  should  be  no  schism  in  the  body;  but  that  the 
members  should  have  the  same  care  one  for  another. 

26  And  whether  one  member  suffereth,  all  the  members 
suffer  with  it;  or  one  member  is  ^honoured,  all  the 

27  members  rejoice  with  it.    Now  ye  are  the  body  of 

28  Christ,  and  'severally  members  thereof.  And  God 
hath  set  some  in  the  church,  first  apostles,  secondly 
prophets,  thirdly  teachers,  then  ^miracles,  then  gifts 
of  healings,   helps,  'governments,   divers  kinds  of 

29 tongues.     Are  all   apostles?  are  all   prophets?  are 

30  all  teachers  ?  are  all  workers  of  ^miracles  ?  have  all 
gifts  of  healings?  do  all  speak  with  tongues?  do  all 

31  interpret?  But  desire  earnestly  the  greater  gifts. 
And  a  still  more  excellent  way  shew  I  unto  you. 

+0  If  I  speak  with  the  tongues  of  men  and  of  angels, 
but  have  not  love,  I  am  become  sounding  brass,  or 

2  a  clanging  cymbal.  And  if  I  have  the  gift  of  proph- 
ecy, and  know  all  mysteries  and  all  knowledge ;  and 
if  I  have  all  faith,  so  as  to  remove  mountains,  but 

Shave  not  love,  I  am  nothing.  And  if  I  bestow  all 
my  goods  to  feed  the  poor,  and  if  I  give  my  body  *to 
be  burned,  but  have  not  love,  it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

4  Love  suffereth  long,  and  is  kind ;  love  envieth  not ; 

5  love  vaunteth  not  itself,  is  not  puffed  up,  doth  not 
behpve   itself  unseemly,  seeketh  not  its  own,  is  not 

6 provoked,  taketh  not  account  of  evil;  rejoiceth  not 

in   unrighteousness,  but  rejoiceth    with   the   truth ; 

T^beareth  all  things,  believeth  all  things,  hopeth  all 

8  things,  endureth  all  things.  Love  never  faileth :  but 
whether  there  be  prophecies,  they  shall  be  done  away  ; 
whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall  cease ;  whether 

9  there  be  knowledge,  it  shall  be  done  away.     For  we 
10 know  in  part,  and  we  prophesy  in  part:  but  when 

that  which  is  perfect  is  come,  that  which  is  in  part 

11  shall  be  done  away.  When  I  was  a  child,  I  spake 
as  a  child,  I  felt  as  a  child,  I  thought  as  a  child :  now 
that  I  am  become  a  man,  I  have  put  away  childish 

12  things.  For  now  we  see  in  a  mirror,  *darkly;  but 
then  face  to  face:  now  I  know  in  part;  but  then 
shall  I  'know   even  as  also   I  have  been  '"known 

13 But  now  abideth  faith,  hope,  love,  these  three;  "and 
the  '^greatest  of  these  is  love. 

It*  Follow  after  love;  yet  desire  earnestly  spiritual 

2  gifts,  but  rather  that  ye  may  prophesy.  For  he 
that  speaketh  in  a  tongue  speaketh  not  untO 
men,  but   unto    God ;  for  no   man  "understandeth ; 

3  but  in  the  spirit  he  speaketh  mysteries.  Bat  he 
that    prophesieth    speaketh    unto    men    edification, 

4  and  comfort,  and  consolation.  He  that  speaketh 
in  a  tongue  "edifieth    himself;  but   he   that  proph- 

5esieth  "edifieth  the  church.  Now  I  would  have 
you  all  speak  with  tongues,  but  rather  that  ye 
should  prophesy:  and  greater  is  he  that  prophe- 
sieth than  he  that  speaketh  with  tongues,  except 
he  interpret,  that  the  church  may  receive  edifying.

6  Now,  brethren,  if  I  come  unto  yon  speaking  with  tongues, 
what  shall  I  profit  you,  except  I  shall  speaK  toyou  eitherby  "rev- 
elation, or  by  knowledge,  or  by  prophesying,  or  by  doctrine  ? 

7  And  even  things  without  life  giving  sound,  whether  pipe 
or  harp,  except  they  give  a  distinction  in  the  ||  sounds,  how 
shall  it  be  known  what  is  piped  or  harped? 

8  For  if  the  trumpet  give  an  uncertain  sound,  who  shall 
prepare  himself  to  the  battle? 

9  So  likewise  ye,  except  ye  utter  by  the  tongue  words 
feasy  to  be  understood,  how  shall  it  be  known  what  is 
spoken  ?  for  ye  shall  speak  into  the  air. 

10  There  are,  it  may  be,  so  many  kinds  of  voices  in  the 
world,  and  none  of  them  is  without  signification. 

11  Therefore  if  I  know  not  the  meaning  of  the  voice,  I 
shall  be  unto  him  that  speaketh  a  barbarian,  and  he  that 
speaketh  shall  be  a  barbarian  unto  me. 

12  Even  so  ye,  forasmuch  as  ye  are  zealous  fof  spiritual 
gifts,  seek  that  ye  may  excel  to  the  edifying  of  the  church. 

13  Wherefore  let  him  that  speaketh  in  an  unknoion  tongue, 
pray  that  he  may  interpret. 

14  For  if  I  pray  in  an  unknown  tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth, 
but  my  understanding  is  unfruitful. 

15  What  is  it  then  ?  I  will  pray  with  the  spirit,  and  I  will 
pray  with  the  understanding  also :  'I  will  sing  with  the 
spirit,  and  I  will  sing  •''with  the  understanding  also. 

16  Else,  when  thou  shalt  bless  with  the  spirit,  how  shall 
he  that  occupieth  the  room  of  the  unlearned  say  Amen  "at 
thy  giving  of  thanks,  seeing  he  understandeth  not  what  thou 
sayest  ? 

17  For  thou  verily  givest  thanks  well,  but  the  other  is  not 
edified. 

18  1  thank  my  God,  I  speak  with  tongues  more  than  ye  all  : 

19  Yet  in  the  church  I  had  rather  speak  five  words  with 
my  understanding,  that  by  my  voice  I  might  teach  others 
also,  than  ten  thousand  words  in  an  unknown  tongue. 

20  Brethren,  *be  not  children  in  understanding:  howbeit 
in  malice  'be  ye  children,  but  in  understanding  be  fmen. 

21  *In  the  law  it  is  'written.  With  men  of  other  tongues 
and  other  lips  will  I  speak  unto  this  people;  and  yet  for 
all  that  will  they  not  hear  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

22  Wherefore  tongues  are  for  a  sign,  not  to  them  that  be- 
lieve, but  to  them  that  believe  not:  but  prophesying  serveth 
not  for  them  that  believe  not,  but  for  them  which  believe. 

23  If  therefore  the  whole  church  be  come  together  into  one 
place,  and  all  speak  with  tongues,  and  there  come  in  those  that 
are  unlearned,  or  unbelievers,  ""will  they  not  say  that  ye  are 
mad? 

24  But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there  come  in  one  that  believeth 
not,  or  one  unlearned,  he  is  convinced  of  all, he  is  judged  of  all: 

25  And  thus  are  the  secrets  of  his  heart  made  manifest ; 
and  so  falling  down  on  his  face,  he  will  worship  God,  and 
report  "that  God  is  in  you  of  a  truth. 

26  How  is  it  then,  brethren  ?  when  ye  come  together, 
every  one  of  you  hath  a  psalm,  "hath  a  doctrine,  hath  a 
tongue,  hath  a  revelation,  hath  an  interpretation.  "Let  all 
things  be  done  unto  edifying. 

27  If  any  man  speak  in  an  unknown  tongue,  let  it  be  by  two, 
oratthemost  6ythree,and<Aa<by  course;  and  let  one  interpret. 

28  But  if  there  be  no  interpreter,  let  him  keep  silence  in 
the  church;  and  let  him  speak  to  himself,  and  to  God. 

29  Let  the  prophets  speak  two  or  three,  and  'let  the  other 
judge. 

30  If  any  thing  be  revealed  to  another  that  sitteth  by, 
"■let  the  first  hold  his  peace. 

31  For  ye  may  all  prophesy  one  by  one,  that  all  may 
learn,  and  all  may  be  comforted. 

32  And'thespiritsof  the  prophets  are  subject  to  the  prophets. 

33  For  God  is  not  the  author  of  fconfusion,  but  of  peace, 
'as  in  all  churches  of  the  saints. 


6  But  now,  brethren,  if  I  come  unto  you  speaking 
with  tongues,  what  shall  I  profit  you,  unless  I 
speak  to  you  either  by  way  of  revelation,  or  of 
knowledge,    or    of   prophesying,    or    of    teaching? 

7  Even  things  without  life,  giving  a  voice,  whether 
pipe  or  harp,  if  they  give  not  a  distinction  in  the 
sounds,  how  shall  it  be   known  what  is  piped  or 

8  harped  ?     For  if  the  trumpet  give  an  uncertain  voice, 
9 who  shall   prepare  himself  for  war?     So  also   ye, 

unless  ye  utter  by  the  tongue  speech  easy  to  be  un- 
derstood, how  shall  it  be  known    what  is  spoken  ? 

10  for  ye  will  be  speaking  into  the  air.  There  are,  it 
may  be,  so  many  kinds  of  voices  in   the  world,  and 

11  'no  kind  is  without  signification.  If  then  I  know  not 
the  meaning  of  the  voice,  I  shall  be  to  him  that 
speaketh  a  barbarian,  and  he  that  speaketh  will  be  a 

12  barbarian  ^unto  me.  So  also  ye,  since  ye  are  zealous 
of  'spiritual  gifts,  seek  that  ye  may  abound  unto  the 

13  edifying  of  the  church.  Wherefore  let  him  that 
speaketh  in  a  tongue    pray  that    he   may  interpret. 

14  For  if  I  pray  in  a  tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth,  but  my 

15  understanding  is  unfruitful.  What  is  it  then?  I 
will  pray  with  the  spirit,  and  I  will  pray  with  the 
understanding  also :  I  will  sing  with  the  spirit,  and 

161  will  sing  with  the  understanding  also.  Else  if 
thou  bless  with  the  spirit,  how  shall  he  that  filleth 
the  place  of  *the  unlearned  say  the  Amen  at  thy 
giving  of  thanks,  seeing  he  knoweth  not  what  thou 

17  sayest?     For  thou  verily  givest  thanks  well,  but  the 

18  other  is  not  "edified.     I  thank  God,  I   speak  with 

19  tongues  more  than  you  all :  howbeit  in  the  church  I 
had  rather  speak  five  words  with  my  understanding, 
that  I  might  instruct  others  also,  than  ten  thousand 
words  in  a  tongue. 

20  Brethren,  be  not  children   in   mind :    howbeit  in 

21  malice  be  ye  babes,  but  in  mind  be  'men.  In  the 
law  it  is  written,  By  men  of  strange  tongues  and  by 
the  lips  of  strangers  M'ill  I  speak  unto  this  people ; 
and  not  even  thus  will  they  hear  me,  saith  the  Lord 

22  Wherefore  tongues  are  for  a  sign,  not  to  them  that 
believe,  but  to  the  unbelieving :  but  prophesying  is 
for  a  sign,  not  to  the  unbelieving,  but  to  them  that 

23  believe.  If  therefore  the  whole  church  be  assembled 
together,  and  all  speak  with  tongues,  and  there  come 
in  men  unlearned  or  unbelieving,  will  they  not  say 

24  that  ye  are  mad  ?  But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there 
come   in   one    unbelieving  or   unlearned,  he   is  're 

25  proved  by  all,  he  is  judged  by  all ;  the  secrets  of  his 
heart  are  made  manifest;  and  so  he  will  fall  down 
on  his  face  and  worship  God,  declaring  that  God  is 
'among  you  indeed. 

26  What  is  it  then,  brethren?     When  ye  come  to 
gether,  each  one  hath  a  psalm,  hath  a  teaching,  hath 
a  revelation,  hath  a  tongue,  hath  an  interpretation. 

27  Let  all  things  be  done  unto  edifying.  If  any  man 
speaketh  in  a  tongue,  let  it  be  by  two,  or  at  the  most 

28 three,  and  that  in  turn;  and  let  one  interpret:  but 
if  there  be  no  interpreter,  let  him  keep  silence  in  the 
church ;  and  let  him   speak  to  himself,  and  to  God. 

29  And  let  the  prophets  speak  by  two  or  three,  and  let 

30  the  others  'discern.     But  if  a  revelation  be  made  to 

31  another  sitting  by,  let  the  first  keep  silence.  For 
ye  all  can  prophesy  one  by  one,  that  all  may  learn, 

32 and  all  may  be  '"comforted;  and  the   spirits  of  the 
33  prophets  are  subject  to  the  prophets ;  for  God  is  not 

a    God  of  confusion,  but  of  peace;  as  in  all  the 

churches  of  the  saints.

35  And  if  they  will  learn  any  thing,  let  them  ask  their 
husbands  at  home:  for  it  is  a  shame  for  women  to  speak 
in  the  church. 

36  What !  came  the  word  of  God  out  from  you  ?  or  came 
it  unto  you  only  ? 

37  'If  any  man  think  himself  to  be  a  prophet,  or  spiritual, 
let  him  acknowledge  that  the  things  that  I  write  unto  you 
are  the  commandments  of  the  Lord. 

38  But  if  any  man  be  ignorant,  let  him  be  ignorant. 

39  Wherefore,  brethren,  "covet  to  prophesy,  and  forbid  not 
to  speak  with  tongues. 

40  'Let  all  things  be  done  decently  and  in  order. 
CHAPTER   XV. 

Of  Christ's  resurrection. 

MOREOVER,  brethren,  I  declare  unto  you  the  gospel 
"which  I  preached  unto  you,  which  also  ye  have  re- 
ceived, and  ''wherein  ye  stand  ; 

2  "By  which  also  ye  are  saved,  if  ye  1|  keep  in  memory 
fwhat  I  preached  unto  you,  unless ''ye  have  believed  in  vain. 

3  For  'I  delivered  uuto  you  first  of  all  that  Avhich  I  also 
received,  how  that  Christ  died  for  our  sins  "according  to  the 
Scriptures ; 

4  And  that  he  was  buried,  and  that  he  rose  again  the 
third  day  ''according  to  the  Scriptures : 

5  'And  that  he  was  seen  of  Ce'phas,  then  *of  the  twelve  : 

6  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  above  five  hundred  brethren 
at  once ;  of  whom  the  greater  part  remain  unto  this  present, 
but  some  are  fallen  asleep. 

7  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  James ;  then  'of  all  the  apostles. 

8  ""And  last  of  all  he  was  seen  of  me  also,  as  of  |I  one 
born  out  of  due  time. 

9  For  I  am  "the  least  of  the  apostles,  that  am  not  meet  to  be 
called  an  apostle,  because  "I  persecuted  the  church  of  God. 

10  But  "by  the  grace  of  God  I  am  what  I  am:  and  his 
grace  which  was  bestozoed  upon  me  was  not  in  vain ;  but  'I 
laboured  more  abundantly  than  they  all :  'yet  not  I,  but  the 
grace  of  God  which  was  with  me. 

11  Therefore  whether  it  were  I  or  they,  so  we  preach,  and 
so  ye  believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  be  preached  that  he  rose  from  the  dead, 
how  say  some  among  you  that  there  is  no  resurrection  of 
the  dead? 

13  But  if  there  be  no  resurrection  of  the  dead,  'then  is 
Christ  not  risen : 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen,  then  is  our  preaching  vain, 
and  your  faith  is  also  vain. 

15  Yea,  and  we  are  found  false  witnesses  of  God;  because 
'we  have  testified  of  God  that  he  raised  up  Christ:  whom 
he  raised  not  up,  if  so  be  that  the  dead  rise  not. 

16  For  if  the  dead  rise  not,  then  is  not  Christ  raised: 

17  And  if  Christ  be  not  raised,  your  faith  is  vain ;  "ye  are 
yet  in  your  sins. 

18  Then  they  also  which  are  fallen  asleep  in  Christ  ait 
perished. 

19  "'If  in  this  life  only  we  have  hope  in  Christ,  we  are  of 
all  men  most  miserable. 

20  But  now  "is  Christ  risen  from  the  dead,  and  become 
'the  firstfruits  of  them  that  slept. 

21  For  "since  by  man  came  death,  'by  man  came  also  the 
resurrection  of  the  dead. 

22  For  as  in  Ad'am  all  die,  even  so  in  Christ  shall  all  be 
made  alive. 

23  But  "every  man  in  his  own  order:  Christ  the  firstfruits; 
afterward  they  that  are  Christ's  at  his  coming. 

24  Then  com^th  the  end»  when  he  shall  have  delivered  up 


34  Let  the  women  keep  silence  in  the  churches :  for 
it  is  not  permitted  unto  them  to  speak :  but  let  them 

35  be  in  subjection,  as  also  saith  the  law.  And  if  they 
would  learn  anything,  let  them  ask  their  own  hus- 
bands at  home :   for  it  is  shameful  for  a  woman  to 

36 speak  in  the  church.  What?  was  it  from  you  that 
the  word  of  God  went  forth  ?  or  came  it  unto  you 
alone? 

37  If  any  man  thinketh  himself  to  be  a  prophet,  or 
spiritual,  let  him  take  knowledge  of  the  things  which 
I  write  unto  you,  that  they  are  the  commandment 

38  of  the  Lord.  'But  if  any  man  is  ignorant,  let  him 
be  ignorant. 

39  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  desire  earnestly  to  proph- 

40  esy,  and  forbid  not  to  speak  with  tongues.  But  let 
all  things  be  done  decently  and  in  order. 

4-0  Now  I  make  known  unto  you,  brethren,  the  gospel 
which  I  preached  unto  you,  which  also  ye  received, 

2  wherein  also  ye  stand,  by  which  also  ye  are  'saved  ; 
/  make  knovm,  I  say,  ^in  what  words  I  preached  it 
unto  you,  if  ye  hold  it  fast,  except  ye  believed  *in 

3  vain.  For  I  delivered  unto  you  first  of  all  that 
which  also  I  received,  how  that  Christ  died  for  our 

4 sins  according  to  the  scriptures;  and  that  he  was 
buried ;  and  that  he  hath  been  raised  on  the  third 

5 day  according  to   the  scriptures;   and   that  he  ap- 

6  peared  to  Ce'phas ;  then  to  the  twelve ;  then  he 
appeared  to  above  five  hundred  brethren  at  once,  of 
whom  the  greater  part  remain  until  now,  but  some 

7 are  fallen  asleep;  then  he  appeared  to  James;  then 

8  to  all  the  apostles;  and  last  of  all,  as  unto  one  born 

9  out  of  due  time,  he  appeared  to  me  also.  For  I  am 
the  least  of  the  apostles,  that  am  not  meet  to  be 
called  an  apostle,  because  I  persecuted  the  church  of 

10 God.  But  by  the  grace  of  God  I  am  what  I  am: 
and  his  grace  which  was  bestowed  upon  me  was  not 
found  H'ain ;  but  I  laboured  more  abundantly  than 
they  all :  yet  not  I,  but  the  grace  of  God  which  was 

11  with  me.  Whether  then  ti  6e  I  or  they,  so  we 
preach,  and  so  ye  believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  is  preached  that  he  hath  been  raised 
from  the  dead,  how  say  some  among  you  that  there 

13  is  no  resurrection  of  the  dead  ?  But  if  there  is  no 
resurrection  of  the  dead,  neither  hath  Christ  been 

14  raised :  and  if  Christ  hath  not  been  raised,  then  is  our 

15  preaching  *vain, 'your  faith  also  is  'vain.  Yea,  and 
we  are  found  fSlse  witnesses  of  God;  because  we 
witnessed  of  God  that  he  raised  up  'Christ:  whom 
he  raised  not  up,  if  so  be  that  the  dead  are  not 

16  raised.     For  if  the  dead  are  not  raised,  neither  hath 
17 Christ  been   raised:    and  if  Christ  hath   not  been 

raised,  your  faith  is  vain ;  ye  are  yet  in  your  sins. 

18  Then  they  also  which  are  fallen  asleep  in  Christ 

19  have  perished.  'If  in  this  life  only  we  have  hoped 
in  Christ,  we  are  of  all  men  most  pitiable. 

20  But  now  hath  Christ  been  raised  from  the  dead,  the 

21  firstfruits  of  them  that  are  asleep.  For  since  by  man 
came  death,  by  man  cam£  also  the  resurrection  of  the 

22  dead.   For  as  in  Ad'am  all  die,  so  also  in  'Christ  shall 

23  all  be  made  alive.  But  each  in  his  own  order:  Christ 
the  firstfruits;  then  they  that  are  Christ's,  athis'com- 

24  ing.     Then  com£th  the  end,  when  he  shall  deliver  up

*the  kingdom  to  God,  even  the  Father ;  when  he  shall  have 
put  down  all  rule,  and  all  authority  and  power. 

25  For  he  must  reign,  'till  he  hath  put  all  enemies  under 
his  feet. 

26  •''The  last  enemy  that  shall  be  destroyed  is  death. 

27  For  he  "hath  put  all  things  under  his  feet.  But  when 
he  saith,  All  things  are  put  under  him,  it  is  manifest  that  he 
is  excepted,  which  did  put  all  things  under  him. 

28  *And  when  all  things  shall  be  subdued  unto  him,  then 
'shall  the  Son  also  himself  be  subject  unto  him  that  put  all 
things  under  him,  that  God  may  be  all  in  all. 

29  Else  what  shall  they  do  which  are  baptized  for  the 
dead,  if  the  dead  rise  not  at  all  ?  why  are  they  then  baptized 
for  the  dead? 

30  And  *why  stand  we  in  jeopardy  every  hour? 

31  I  protest  l^y  1|  'your  rejoicing  which  1  have  in  Christ 
Jesus  our  Lord,  ""I  die  daily. 

32  If  II  after  the  manner  of  men  "I  have  fought  with  beasts 
at  Eph'e-sus,  what  advantageth  it  me,  if  the  dead  rise  not  ? 
"let  us  eat  and  drink ;  for  to-morrow  we  die. 

33  Be  not  deceived:  "evil  communications  corrupt  good 
manners. 

34  'Awake  to  righteousness,  and  sin  not;  'for  some  have 
not  the  knowledge  of  God :  'I  speak  this  to  your  shame. 

35  But  some  man  will  say,  'How  are  the  dead  raised  up? 
and  with  what  body  do  they  come  ? 

36  ITiou  fool,  "that  which  thou  sowest  is  not  quickened, 
except  it  die: 

37  And  that  which  thou  sowest,  thou  sowest  not  that  body 
that  shall  be,  but  bare  grain,  it  may  chance  of  wheat,  or  of 
some  other  grain: 

38  But  God  giveth  it  a  body  as  it  hath  pleased  him,  and 
to  every  seed  his  own  body. 

39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same  flesh :  but  there  is  one  kind  of 
flpsh  o{  men,  another  flesh  of  beasts,  another  of  fishes,  and 
another  of  birds. 

40  There  are  also  celestial  bodies,  and  bodies  terrestrial : 
but  the  glory  of  the  celestial  is  one,  and  the  glory  of  the 
terrestrial  is  another. 

41  There  is  one  glory  of  the  sun,  and  another  glory  of  the 
moon,  and  another  glory  of  the  stars ;  for  o?ie  star  differeth 
from  another  star  in  glory. 

42  "^So  also  is  the  resurrection  of  the  dead.  It  is  sown  in 
corruption,  it  is  raised  in  incorruption : 

43  "It  is  sown  in  dishonour,  it  is  raised  in  glory :  it  is  sown 
in  weakness,  it  is  raised  in  power : 

44  It  is  sown  a  natural  body,  it  is  raised  a  spiritual  body. 
There  is  a  natural  body,  and  there  is  a  spiritual  body. 

45  And  so  it  is  written,  The  first  man  Ad'am  'was  made 
a  living  soul,  "the  last  Ad'am  was  made  'a  quickening  spirit. 

46  Howbeit  that  was  not  first  which  is  spiritual,  but  that 
which  is  natural ;  and  afterward  that  which  is  spiritual. 

47  "The  first  man  is  of  the  earth,  ''earthy :  the  second  man 
is  the  Lord  'from  heaven. 

48  As  is  the  earthy,  such  are  they  also  that  are  earthy : 
^and  as  is  the  heavenly,  such  are  they  also  that  are 
heavenly. 

49  And  "as  we  have  borne  the  image  of  the  earthy,  *we 
shall  also  bear  the  image  of  the  heavenly. 

50  Now  this  I  say,  brethren,  that  'flesh  and  blood  cannot 
inherit  the  kingdom  of  God;  neither  doth  corruption  inherit 
incorruption. 

51  Behold,  I  shew  you  a  mystery;  *We  shall  not  all  sleep, 
'but  we  shall  all  be  changed, 

52  In  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling  of  an  eye,  at  the  last 
trump :  "for  the  trumpet  shall  sound,  and  the  dead  shall  be 
raised  incorruptible,  and  we  shall  be  changed. 

53  For  this  corruptible  must  put  on  incorruption,  and  "this 
mortal  mv^t  put  on  immortality. 


the  kingdom  to  'God,  even  the   Father;   when  he 
shall  have  abolished  all  rule  and  all  authority  and 

25  power.     For   he  must  reign,  till  he   hath   put  all 

26  his  enemies  under  his  feet.     The   last  enemy  that 

27  shall  be  aboli.shed  is  death.  For,  He  put  all  things 
in  subjection  under  his  feet.  ^But  when  he  saith, 
All  things  are  put  in  subjection,  it  is  evident  that 
he  is  excepted  who  did  subject  all  things  unto  him. 

28  And  when  all  things  have  been  subjected  unto  him, 
then  shall  the  Son  also  himself  be  subjected  to  him 
that  did  subject  all  things  unto  him,  that  God  may 
be  all  in  all. 

29  Else  Avhat  shall  they  do  which  are  baptized  for 
the  dead  ?     If  the  dead  are  not  raised  at  all,  why 

30  then  are  they  baptized  for  them  ?   why  do  we  also 

31  stand  in  jeopardy  every  hour?  I  protest  by  ^that 
glorying  in  you,  brethren,  which  I  have   in   Christ 

32  Jesus  our  Lord,  I  die  daily.  If  after  the  manner  of 
men  I  fought  with  beasts  at  Eph'e-sus,  Vhat  doth  it 
profit  me?     If  the  dead  are  not  raised,  let  us  eat 

33 and  drink,  for  to-morrow  we  die.     Be  not  deceived: 

34  Evil  company  doth  corrupt  good  manners.  "Awake 
up  righteously,  and  sin  not;  for  some  have  no 
knowledge  of  God :  I  speak  this  to  move  you  to 
shame. 

35  But  some  one  will  say,  How  are  the  dead  raised  ? 
and   with   what    manner   of  body    do   they   come? 

36  Thou  foolish  one,  that  which  thou  thyself  sowest  is 

37  not  quickened,  except  it  die :  and  that  which  thou 
sowest,  thou  sowest  not  the  body  that  shall  be,  but 
a  bare  grain,  it  may  chance  of  wheat,  or  of  some 

38 other  kind;  but  God  giveth  it  a  body  even  as  it 
pleased  him,  and  to  each  seed  a  body  of  its  own. 

39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same  flesh :  but  there  is  one 
flesh  of  men,  and  another  flesh  of  beasts,  and  another 

40  flesh  of  birds,  and  another  of  fishes.  There  are  also 
celestial  bodies,  and  bodies  terrestrial :  but  the  glory 
of  the  celestial  is  one,  and  the  gloi-y  of  the  terres- 

41  trial  is  another.  There  is  one  glory  of  the  sun,  and 
another  glory  of  the  moon,  and  another  glory  of  the 
stars;   for  one  star  diifereth   from  another  star  in 

42  glory.     So  also  is  the  resurrection  of  the  dead.    It  is 

43  sown  in  corruption ;  it  is  raised  in  incorruption :  it  is 
sown  in  dishonour;  it  is  raised  in  glory:  it  is  sown 

44 in  weakness;  it  is  raised  in  power:  it  is  sown  a 
natural  body ;  it  is  raised  a  spiritual  body.     If  there 

45  is  a  natural  body,  there  is  also  a  spiritual  body.  So 
also  it  is  written.  The  first  man  Ad'am  became  a  liv- 
ing soul.     The  last  Ad'am  became  a  life-giving  spirit. 

46  Howbeit  that  is  not  first  which  is  spiritual,  but  that 

47  which  is  natural ;  then  that  which  is  spiritual.  The 
first  man  is  of  the  earth,  earthy :  the  second  man  is 

48  of  heaven.  As  is  the  earthy,  such  are  they  also  that, 
are  earthy ;  and  as  is  the  heavenly,  such  are  they 

49  also  that  are  heavenly.  And  as  we  have  borne  the 
image  of  the  earthy,  «we  shall  also  bear  the  image  of 
the  heavenly. 

50  Now  this  I  say,  brethren,  that  flesh  and  blood 
cannot  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God;    neither  doth 

51  corruption  inherit  incorruption.  Behold,  I  tell  you 
a  mystery :  We  shall  not  all  sleep,  but  we  shall  all 

52  be  changed,  in  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling  of  an  eye, 
at  the  last  trump:  for  the  trumpet  shall  sound,  and 
the  dead  shall  be  raised  incorruptible,  and  we  shall 

53  be  changed.  For  this  corruptible  must  put  on  incor- 
ruption, and  this  mortal  must  put  on  immortality.

54  So  when  this  corruptible  shall  have  put  on  inoorrup-

shall  be  brought  to  pass  the  saying  that  is  written,  "Death 
is  swallowed  up  in  victory.

58  'Therefore,  my  beloved  brethren,  be  ye  steadfast,  un-

Exhortations  to  charity,  &c. 

"VTOW  concerning  "the  collection  for  the  saints,  as  I  have 
-Li    given  order  to  the  churches  of  Ga-la'ti-a,  even  so  do  ye. 

2  'Upon  the  first  day  of  the  week  let  every  one  of  you  lay 
by  him  in  store,  as  God  hath  prospered  him,  that  there  be 
no  gatherings  when  I  come. 

3  And  when  I  come  'whomsoever  ye  shall  approve  by 
your  letters,  them  will  I  send  to  bring  your  fliberality  unto 
Je-ru'sa-lem. 

4  ''And  if  it  be  meet  that  I  go  also,  they  shall  go  with  me. 

5  Now  I  will  come  unto  you  'when  I  shall  pass  through 
Mac-e-do'ni-a :  for  I  do  pass  through  Mac-e-do'ni-a. 

6  And  it  may  be  that  I  will  abide,  yea,  and  winter  with 
you,  that  ye  may  -^bring  me  on  my  journey  whithersoever 
I  go. 

7  For  I  will  not  see  you  now  by  the  way  j  but  I  trust  to 
tarry  a  while  with  you,  "if  the  Lord  permit. 

8  But  I  will  tarry  at  Eph'e-sus  until  Pentecost. 

9  For  *a  great  door  and  effectual  is  opened  unto  me,  and 
'there  are  many  adversaries. 

10  Now  *if  Ti-mo'the-us  come,  see  that  he  may  be  with 
you  without  fear;  for  'he  worketh  the  work  of  the  Loi-d, 
as  I  also  do. 

1 1  ™Let  no  man  therefore  despise  him :  but  conduct  hira 
forth  "in  peace,  that  he  may  come  unto  me:  for  I  look  for 
him  with  the  brethren. 

12  As  touching  our  brother  "A-pol'los,  I  greatly  desired 
him  to  come  unto  you  with  the  brethren :  but  his  will  was 
not  at  all  to  come  at  this  time;  but  he  will  come  when  he 
shall  have  convenient  time. 

13  "Watch  ye,  'stand  fast  in  the  faith,  quit  you  like  men, 
•"be  strong. 

14  'Let  all  your  things  be  done  with  charity. 

15  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  (ye  know 'the  house  of  Steph'- 
a-nas,  that  it  is  "the  firstfruits  of  A-cha'ia,  and  that  they 
have  addicted  themselves  to  ""the  ministry  of  the  saints.) 

16  "That  ye  submit  yourselves  unto  such,  and  to  every 
one  that  helpeth  with  us,  and  'laboureth. 

17  I  am  glad  of  the  coming  of  Steph'a-nas,  and  For-tu- 
na'tus,  and  A-cha'i-cus :  "for  that  which  was  lacking  on  your 
part,  they  have  supplied. 

18  'For  they  have  refreshed  my  spirit  and  yours:  there- 
fore 'acknowledge  ye  them  that  are  such. 

19  The  churches  of  A'si-a  salute  you.  Aq'ui-la  and  Pris- 
cil'la  salute  you  much  in  the  Lord,  ''with  the  church  that  is 
in  their  house. 

20  All  the  brethren  greet  you.  'Greet  ye  one  another  with 
a  holy  kiss. 

21  -TThe  salutation  of  me  Paul  with  mine  own  hand. 

22  If  any  man  "love  not  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  ''let  him 
be  A-nath'e-ma,  'Ma'ran  a'tha. 

23  *The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  he  with  you. 

24  My  love  he  with  you  all  in  Christ  Jesus.     Amen. 

HThe  first  epistle  to  the  Corinthians  was  written  from  Philippi,  by 
Stephanas,  and  Fortunatus,  and  Achaicus,  and  Timotheus. 


54  But  when  'this  corruptible  shall  have  put  on  incor- 
ruption,  and  this  mortal  shall  have  put  on  immor- 
tality, then   shall  come  to  pass  the  saying  that  is 

55  written,  Death  is  swallowed  up  in  ^victory.  O  death, 
where  is  thy  victory?  O  death,  where  is  thy  sting? 

56  The  sting  of  death  is  sin ;  and  the  power  of  sin  is 

57  the  law  :  but  thanks  be  to  God,  which  giveth  us  the 

58  victory  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  Wherefore, 
my  beloved  brethren,  be  ye  steadfast,  unmoveable, 
always  abounding  in  the  work  of  the  Lord,  foras- 
much as  y«  know  that  your  labour  is  not  ^vain  in 
the  Lord. 

4-U  Now  concerning  the  collection  for  the  saints,  as  I 
gave  order  to  the  churches  of  Ga-la'ti-a,  so  also  do  ye. 

2  Upon  the  first  day  of  the  week  let  each  one  of  you 
lay  by  him  in  store,  as  he  may  prosper,  that  no  col- 

3  lections  be  made  when  I  come.  And  when  I  arrive, 
'whomsoever  ye  shall  approve  by  letters,  them  will  I 

4  send  to  carry  your  bounty  unto  Je-ru'sa-lem :  and  if 
it  be  meet  for  me  to  go  also,  they  shall  go  with  me. 

5  But  I  will  come  unto  you,  when  I  shall  have  pas.sed 
through  Mac-e-do'ni-a;  for  I  do  pass  through  Mac 

6e-do'ni-a;  but  with  you  it  may  be  that  I  shall 
abide,  or  even  jtvinter,  that  ye  may  set  me  forward 

7  on  my  journey  whithersoever  I  go.  For  I  do  not 
wish  to  see  you   now  by  the  way ;  for  I  hope  to 

8  tarry  a  while  with  you,  if  the  Lord  permit.     But 

9  will  tarry  at  Eph'e-sus  until  Pentecost ;  for  a  great 
door  and  effectual  is  opened  unto  me,  and  there  are 
many  adversaries. 

10  Now  if  Tim'o-thy  come,  see  that  he  be  with  you 
without  fear ;  for  he  worketh  the  work  of  the  Lord, 

lias  I  also  do:  let  no  man  therefore  despise  him. 
But  set  him  forward  on  his  journey  in  peace,  that 
he  may  come  unto  me:  for  I  expect  him  with  the 

12  brethren.  But  as  touching  A-pol'los  the  brother,  I 
besought  him  much  to  come  unto  you  with  the 
brethren:  and  it  was  not  at  all  ''his  will  to  come 
now;  but  he  will  come  when  he  shall  have  oppor- 
tunity. 

13  Watch  ye,  stand  fast  in  the  faith,  quit  you  like 

14  men,  be  strong.  Let  all  that  ye  do  be  done  in 
love. 

15  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren  (ye  know  the  house 
of  Steph'a-nas,  that  it  is  the  firstfruits  of  A-cha'ia,  and 
that  they  have  set  themselves  to  minister  unto  the 

16  saints),  that  ye  also  be  in  subjection  unto  such,  and 
to  every  one  that  helpeth  in  the  work  and  laboureth. 

17  And  I  rejoice  at  the  'coming  of  Steph'a-nas  and  For- 
tu-na'tus  and  A-cha'i-cus :  for  that  which  was  lacking 

18  on  your  part  they  supplied.  For  they  refreshed  my 
spirit  and  yours:  acknowledge  ye  therefore  them 
that  are  such. 

19  The  churches  of  A'si-a  salute  you.  Aq'ui-la  and 
Pris'ca  salute  you  much  in  the  Lord,  with  the  church 

20 that  is  in  their  house.  All  the  brethren  salute  you. 
Salute  one  another  with  a  holy  kiss. 

21  The  salutation  of  me  Paul  with  mine  own  hand. 

22  If  any  man  loveth  not  the  Lord,  let  him  be  a-nath'- 
23e-ma.  'Ma'ran  a'tha.  The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus 
24  Christ  be  with  you.     My  love  be  with  you  all  in 

Christ  Jesus.     Amen.

THE 

SECOND  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO  THB 

CORINTHIANS. 

CHAPTER    I. 

Th^  church  com/oried,  &c, 

PAUL,  "an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ  by  tbe  will  of  God,  and 
Tim'o-thy  our  brother,  unto  the  church  of  God  which  is 
at  Cor'inth,  *with  all  the  saints  which  are  in  all  A-cha'ia : 

2  "Grace  be  to  you,  and  peace,  from  God  our  Father,  and 
from  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

3  ''Blessed  be  God,  even  the  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  the  Father  of  mercies,  and  the  God  of  all  comfort ; 

4  Who  comforteth  us  in  all  our  tribulation,  that  we  may 
be  able  to  comfort  them  which  are  in  any  trouble,  by  the 
comfort  wherewith  we  ourselves  are  comforted  of  God. 

5  For  as  *the  sufferings  of  Christ  abound  in  us,  so  onr 
consolation  also  aboundeth  by  Christ. 

6  And  whether  we  be  afflicted,  %  is  for  your  consolation 
and  salvation,  which  His  effectual  in  the  enduring  of  the 
same  sufferings  which  we  also  suffer:  or  whether  we  be 
comforted,  U  is  for  your  consolation  and  salvation. 

7  And  our  hope  of  you  is  steadfast,  knowing,  that  'as  ye 
are  partakers  of  the  sufferings,  bo* shall  ye  be  also  of  the 
consolation. 

8  For  we  would  not,  brethren,  have  you  ignorant  of  *our 
trouble  which  came  to  us  in  A'si-a,  that  we  were  pressed  out 
of  measure,  above  strength,  insomuch  that  we  despaired 
even  of  life ; 

9  But  we  had  the  ||  sentence  of  death  in  ourselves,  that  we 
should  'not  trust  in  ourselves,  but  in  God  which  raiseth  the 
dead : 

10  *Who  delivered  us  from  so  great  a  deaih,  and  doth  de- 
liver: in  whom  we  trust  that  he  will  yet  deliver  us; 

1 1  Ye  also  'helping  together  by  prayer  for  us,  that  "for 
the  gift  bestowed  upon  us  by  the  means  of  many  persons, 
thanks  may  be  given  by  many  on  our  behalf. 

12  For  our  rejoicing  is  this,  the  testimony  of  our  con- 
science, that  in  simplicity  and  "godly  sincerity,  "not  with 
fleshly  wisdom,  but  by  the  grace  of  God,  we  have  had  our 
conversation  in  the  world,  and  more  abundantly  to  you-Avard. 

13  For  we  write  none  other  things  unto  you,  than  what 
ye  read  or  acknowledge ;  and  I  trust  ye  shall  acknowledge 
even  to  the  end ; 

14  As  also  ye  have  acknowledged  us  in  part,  "that  we  are  your 
rejoicing,  even  as  'ye  also  are  ours  in  the  day  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  'I  was  minded  to  come  unto 
you  before,  that  ye  might  have  'a  second  ||  benefit; 

16  And  to  pass  by  you  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  and  to  come 
again  out  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a  unto  you,  and  of  you  to  be  brought 
on  my  way  toward  Ju-de'a. 

17  When  I  therefore  was  thus  minded,  did  I  use  lightness? 
or  the  things  that  I  purpose,  do  I  purpose  "according  to  the 
flesh,  that  with  me  there  should  be  yea,  yea,  and  nay,  nay  ? 

18  But  as  God  is  true,  our  ||  word  toward  you  was  not  yea 
and  nay. 

19  For  'the  Son  of  God,  Jesus  Christ,  who  was  preached 
among  you  by  us,  even  by  me,  and  Sil-va'nu.s,  and  Timo'- 
the-us,  was  not  yea  and  nay,  "but  in  him  was  yea. 

20  "For  all  the  promises  of  God  in  him  are  yea,  and  in 
him  Amen,  unto  the  glory  of  God  by  us. 

21  Now  he  which  establlsheth  us  with  you  in  Christ,  and 
"hath  anointed  us,  is  God  ; 

22  Who  'hath  also  sealed  us,  and  "given  the  earnest  of 
the  Spirit  in  our  hearts. 


THE 


SECOND  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 


TO  THB 


CORINTHIANS. 


4-  Paul,  an  apostle  of  Christ  Jesus  through  the  will 
of  God,  and  Tim'o-thy  'our  brother,  unto  the  church 
of  God  which  is  at  Cor'inth,  with  all  the    saints 

2  which  are  in  the  whole  of  A-cha'ia :  Grace  to  you 
and  peace  from  God  our  Father  and  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

3  Blessed  be  the  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  the  Father  of  mercies  and  God  of  all  com- 

4  fort;  who  comforteth  us  in  all  our  affliction,  that  we 
may  be  able  to  comfort  them  that  are  in  any  affliction, 
through   the  comfort  wherewith   we   ourselves   are 

5  comforted  of  God.  For  as  the  sufferings  of  Christ 
abound  unto  us,  even  so  our  comfort  also  aboundeth 

6  through  Christ.  But  whether  we  be  afflicted,  it  is 
for  your  comfort  and  salvation ;  or  whether  we  be 
comforted,  it  is  for  your  comfort,  which  work'^th  in 
the  patient  enduring  of  the  same  sufferings  which 

7 we  also  suffer:  and  our  hope  for  you  is  stedfast; 
knowing  that,  as  ye  are  partakers  of  the  sufferings, 

8  so  also  are  ye  of  the  comfort.  For  we  would  not 
have  you  ignorant,  brethren,  concerning  our  affliction 
which  befell  its  in  A'si-a,  that  we  were  weighed  down 
exceedingly,  beyond  our  power,  insomuch  that  we 

9  despaired  even  of  life :  *yea,  we  ourselves  have  had 
the  ^answer  of  death  within  ourselves,  that  we  should 
not  trust  in  ourselves,  but  in  God  which  raiseth  the 

lOdead :  who  delivered  us  out  of  so  great  a  death,  and 
will  deliver:  on  whom  we  have  *set  our  hope  that 

11  he  will  also  still  deliver  us;  ye  also  helping  together 
on  our  behalf  by  your  supplication ;  that,  for  the  gift 
bestowed  upon  us  by  means  of  many,  thanks  may 
be  given  by  many  persons  on  our  behalf. 

12  For  our  glorying  is  this,  the  testimony  of  our  con- 
science, that  in  holiness  and  sincerity  of  God,  not  in 
fleshly  wisdom  but  in  the  grace  of  God,  we  behaved 
ourselves  in  the  world,  and  more  abundantly  to  you- 

13  ward.  For  we  write  none  other  things  unto  you, 
than  what  ye  read  or  even  acknowledge,  and  I  hope 

14  ye  will  acknowledge  unto  the  end :  as  also  ye  did 
acknowledge  us  in  part,  that  we  are  your  glorying, 
even  as  ye  also  are  ours,  in  the  day  of  our  Lord  Jesus. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  I  was  minded  to  come  be- 
fore unto  you,  that  ye  might  have  a  second  "benefit  j 

16  and  by  you  to  pass  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  and  again  from 
Mac-e-do'ni-a  to  come  unto  you,  and  of  you  to  be  set 

17  forward  on  my  journey  unto  Ju-dse'a.  When  I  there- 
fore was  thus  minded,  did  I  shew  fickleness?  or  the 
things  that  I  purpose,  do  I  purpose  according  to  the 
flesh,  that  with  me  there  should  be  the  yea  yea  and 

18 the  nay  nay?     But  as  God  is  faithful,  our  word  to- 

19  ward  you  is  not  yea  and  nay.  For  the  Son  of  God, 
Jesus  Christ,  who  was  preached  among  you  'by  us, 
even  'by  me  and  Sil-va'nus  and  Tim'o-thy,  was  not  yea 

20  and  nay,  but  in  him  is  yea.  For  how  many  soever 
be  the  promises  of  God,  in  him  is  the  yea:  where- 
fore also  through  him   is  the  Amen,  unto  the  glory 

21  of  God  through  us.    Now  he  that  stablisheth  us  with 

22  you  'in  Christ,  and  anointed  us,  is  God ;  *who  also 
sealed  us,  and  gave  us  the  earnest  of  the  Spirit  in 
our  hearts.

23  Moreover  ''I  call  God  for  a  record  upon  my  soul,  'that 
to  spare  you  I  came  not  a.'^  yet  unto  Cor'inth. 

24  Not  for  -^that  we  have  dominion  over  your  faith,  but  are 
helpers  of  your  joy  :  for  "by  faith  ye  stand. 

CHAPTER    II. 

PaitTs  preaching  and  success. 

BUT  I  determined  this  with  myself,  "that  I  would  not 
come  again  to  you  in  heaviness. 

2  For  if  I  make  you  sorry,  who  is  he  then  that  maketh 
me  glad,  but  the  same  which  is  made  sorry  by  me  ? 

3  And  I  wrote  this  same  unto  you,  lest,  when  I  came,  'I 
should  have  sorrow  from  them  of  whom  I  ought  to  rejoice ; 
"having  confidence  iu  you  all,  that  my  joy  is  the  joy  of  you  all. 

4  For  out  of  much  affliction  and  anguish  of  heart  I  wrote 
unto  you  with  many  tears ;  ''not  that  ye  should  be  grieved, 
but  that  ye  might  know  the  love  which  I  have  more  abun- 
dantly unto  you. 

5  But  'if  any  have  caused  grief,  he  hath  not  •'grieved  me, 
but  in  part :  that  I  may  not  overcharge  you  all. 

6  Sufficient  to  such  a  man  is  this  ||  punishment,  which  was 
inflicted  "of  many. 

7  ''So  that  contrariwise  ye  ought  rather  to  forgive  him, 
and  comfort  him,  lest  perhaps  such  a  one  should  be  swal- 
lowed up  with  overmuch  sorrow. 

8  Wherefore  I  beseech  you  that  ye  would  confirm  your 
love  toward  him, 

9  For  to  this  end  also  did  I  write,  that  I  might  know  the 
proof  of  you,  whether  ye  be  'obedient  in  all  things. 

10  To  whom  ye  forgive  any  thing,  I  forgive  also :  for  if  I 
forgave  any  thing,  to  whom  I  forgave  it,  for  your  Bakes  for- 
gave I  it  II  in  the  person  of  Christ ; 

11  Lest  Sa'tan  should  get  an  advantage  of  us:  for  we  are 
not  ignorant  of  his  devices. 

12  Furthermore,  *when  I  came  to  Tro'as  to  preacA  Christ's 
gospel,  and  'a  door  was  opened  unto  me  of  the  Lord, 

13  "I  had  no  rest  in  my  spirit,  because  I  found  not  Ti'tus 
my  brother;  but  taking  my  leave  of  them,  I  went  from 
thence  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a. 

14  Now  thanks  be  unto  God,  which  always  causeth  us  to 
triumph  in  Christ,  and  maketh  manifest  "the  savour  of  his 
knowledge  by  us  in  every  place. 

15  For  we  are  unto  God  a  sweet  savour  of  Christ,  *in  them 
that  are  saved,  and  ''in  them  that  perish : 

16  «To  the  one  we  are  the  savour  of  death  unto  death; 
and  to  the  other  the  savour  of  life  unto  life.  And  'who  is 
sufficient  for  these  things? 

17  For  we  are  not  as  many,  which  || 'corrupt  the  word  of 
God :  but  as  'of  sincerity,  but  as  of  God,  in  the  sight  of  God 
speak  we  ||  in  Christ. 

CHAPTER    III. 

0/  the  law  and  the  gospel, 

DO  "we  begin  again  to  commend  ourselves  ?  or  need  we, 
as   some   others,  ''ejiistles  of  commendation  to  you,  or 
letters  of  commendation  from  you? 

2  "Ye  are  our  epistle  written  in  our  hearts,  known  and 
read  of  all  men : 

3  Forasmuch  as  ye  are  manifestly  declared  to  be  the  epistle 
of  Christ  ''ministered  by  us,  written  not  with  ink,  but  with 
the  Spirit  of  the  living  God  ;  not  'in  tables  of  stone,  but  -^in 
fleshly  tables  of  the  heart. 

4  And  .such  trust  have  we  through  Christ  to  God-ward : 

5  "Not  that  we  are  sufficient  of  ourselves  to  think  any  thing 
as  of  ourselves;  but  ''our  sufficiency  is  of  God; 

6  Who  also  hath  made  us  able  'ministers  of  *the  new  testa- 
ment ;  not  'of  the  letter,  but  of  the  spirit :  for  "'the  letter 
killeth,  "but  the  spirit  ||giveth  life. 

7  But  if  "the  ministration  of  death,  "written  and  engraven 
in  stones,  was  glorious,  "so  that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  could 


23  But  I  call  God  for  a  witness  upon  my  soui,  that 

24  to  spare  you  I  forbare  to  come  unto  Co'rinth.     Not 

2  that  we  have  lordship  over  your  faith,  but  are  helpers 
of  your  joy:  for  by  'faith  ye  stand.  ^But  I  deter- 
mined this  for  myself,  that  I  would  not  come  again 

2  to  you  with  sorrow.  For  if  I  make  you  sorry,  who 
then  is  he  that  maketh  me  glad,  but  he  that  is  made 

3  sorry  by  me  ?  And  L  wrote  this  very  thing,  lest, 
when  I  came,  I  should  have  sorrow  from  them  of 
whom  I  ought  to  rejoice;  having  confidence  in  you 

4  all,  that  my  joy  is  the  joy  of  you  all.  For  out  of 
much  affliction  and  anguish  of  heart  I  wrote  unto 
you  with  many  tears;  not  that  ye  should  be  made 
sorry,  but  that  ye  might  know  the  love  which  I  have 
more  abundantly  unto  you. 

5  But  if  any  hath  caused  sorrow,  he  hath  caused 
sorrow,  not  to  me,  but  in  part  (that  I  press  not  too 

6  heavily)  to  you  all.     Sufficient  to  such  a  one  is  this 

7  punishment  which  was  inflicted  by  'the  many ;  so  that 
contrariwise  ye  should  ^rather  forgive  him  and  com- 
fort him,  lest  by  any  means  such   a   one  should  be 

8  swallowed  up  with  his  overmuch  sorrow.  Where- 
fore I  beseech  you  to  confirm  your  love  toward  him. 

9  For  to  this  end  also  did  I  write,  that  I  might  know 
the  proof  of  you,  'whether   ye  are  obedient  in    all 

10  things.  But  to  whom  ye  forgive  anything,  I  forgive 
also :  for  what  I  also  have  forgiven,  if  I  have  forgiven 
anything,  for  your  sakes  have  I  forgiven  it  in   the 

11 'person  of  Christ;  that  no  advantage  may  be  gained 
over  us  by  Sa'tan:  for  we  are  not  ignorant  of  his 
devices. 

1 2  Now  when  I  came  to  Tro'as  for  the  gospel  of  Christ, 
and  when  a  door  was  opened  unto  me  in  the   Lord, 

131  had  no  relief  for  my  spirit,  because  I  found  not 
Ti'tus  my  brother:  but  taking  my  leave  of  them,  I 

14  went  forth  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a.  But  thanks  be  unto 
God,  which  always  leadeth  us  in  triumph  in  Christ,  and 
maketh  manifest  through  us  the  savour  of  his  knowl 

15  edge  in  every  place.  For  we  are  a  sweet  savour  of 
Christ  imto  God,  in  them  that  are  being  saved,  and 

16 :n  them  that  are  perishing;  to  the  one  a  savour  from 
death  unto  death;  to  the  other  a  savour  from  life 
unto   life.     And  who  is  sufficient  for  these  things? 

17  For  we  are  not  as  the  many,  'corrupting  the  word 
of  God :  but  as  of  sincerity,  but  as  of  God,  in  the 
sight  of  God,  speak  we  in  Christ. 

O  Are  we  beginning  again  to  commend  ourselves  ? 
or  need  we,  as  do  some,  epistles  of  commendation 

2 to  you  or  from  you?     Ye  are  our  epistle,  written  in 

3  our  hearts,  known  and  read  of  all  men  ;  being  made 
manifest  that  ye  are  an  epistle  of  Christ,  ministered 
by  us,  written  not  with  ink,  but  with  the  Spirit  of 
the  living  God ;  not  in  tables  of  stone,  but  in  tables 

Athat  are  hearts  of  flesh.     And  such  confidence  have 

5  we  through  Christ  to  God- ward :  not  that  we  are 
sufficient  of  ourselves,  to  account  anything  as  from 

6 ourselves;  but  our  sufficiency  is  from  God;  who 
also  made  us  sufficient  as  ministers  of  a  new  'cove- 
nant ;  not  of  the  letter,  but  of  the  spirit :  for  the  let- 

7ter  killeth,  but  the  spirit  giveth  life.  But  if  the  min- 
istration of  death,  'written,  and  engraven  on  stones, 
came  '"with  glory,  so  that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  could

not  steadfastly  behold  the  face  of  Mo'ses  for  the  glory  of  his 
counteuance;  which  glory  was  to  be  done  away; 

8  How  shall  not  "^the  ministration  of  the  spirit  be  rather 
glorious  ? 

9  For  if  the  ministration  of  condemnation  he  glory,  much 
more  doth  the  ministration  'of  righteousness  exceed  in  glory. 

10  For  even  that  which  was  made  glorious  had  no  glory 
in  this  respect,  by  reason  of  the  glory  that  excelleth. 

11  For  if  that  which  is  done  away  was  glorious,  much 
more  that  which  remaineth  is  glorious. 

12  Seeing  then  that  we  have  such  hope,  "we  use  great 
jl  plainness  of  speech : 

13  And  not  as  Mo'ses,  'which  put  a  veil  over  his  face,  that 
the  children  of  Is'ra-el  could  not  steadfastly  look  to  *the  end 
of  that  which  is  abolished : 

14  But  "their  minds  were  blinded :  for  until  this  day  re- 
maineth the  same  veil  untaken  away  in  the  reading  of  the 
old  testament ;  which  veil  is  done  away  in  Christ. 

15  But  even  unto  this  day,  when  Mo'ses  is  read,  the  veil 
is  upon  their  heart. 

16  Nevertheless,  'when  it  shall  turn  to  the  Lord,  "the  veil 
shall  be  taken  away. 

17  Now  *the  Lord  is  that  Spirit:  and  where  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  is,  there  is  liberty. 

18  But  we  all,  with  open  face  beholding  "as  in  a  glass  ''the 
glory  of  the  Lord,  'are  changed  into  the  same  image  from 
glory  to  glory,  even  as  ||by  the  Sjjirit  of  the  Lord. 

CHAPTER    IV. 

PauPs  comfort  in  distress. 

1  THEREFORE,  seeing  we  have  "this  ministry,  ""as  we  have 
-    received  mercy,  we  faint  not ; 

2  But  have  renounced  the  hidden  things  of  fdishonesty, 
not  walking  in  craftiness,  "nor  handling  the  word  of  God 
deceitfully ;  but,  ''by  manifestation  of  the  truth,  'commend- 
ing ourselves  to  every  man's  conscience  in  the  sight  of  God. 

3  But  if  our  gospel  be  hid,  -^it  is  hid  to  them  thdt  are  lost : 

4  In  whom  "the  god  of  this  world  'hath  blinded  the  minds 
of  them  which  believe  not,  lest  'the  light  of  the  glorious 
gospel  of  Christ,  *who  is  the  image  of  God,  should  shine 
unto  them. 

5  'For  we  preach  not  ourselves,  but  Christ  Jesus  the  Lord ; 
and  "ourselves  your  servants  for  Jesus'  sake. 

6  For  God,  "who  commanded  the  light  to  shine  out  of 
darkness,  fhath  "shined  in  our  hearts,  to  ^'ive ''the  light  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  glory  of  God  in  the  face  of  Jesus  Christ. 

7  But  we  have  this  treasure  in  'earthen  vessels,  'that  the 
excellency  of  the  power  may  be  of  God,  and  not  of  us. 

8  We  are  'troubled  on  every  side,  yet  not  distressed ;  we 
are  perplexed,  but  ||not  in  despair; 

9  Persecutedjbut  not  forsaken;  'cast  down,  but  not  destroyed; 

10  "Always  bearing  about  in  the  body  the  dying  of  the 
Lord  Jesus,  ""that  the  life  also  of  Jesus  might  be  made  man- 
ifest in  our  body. 

11  For  we  which  live  "are  alway  delivered  unto  death  for 
Jesus'  sake,  that  the  life  also  of  Jesus  might  be  made  mani- 
fest in  our  mortal  flesh. 

12  So  then  'death  worketh  in  us,  but  life  in  you. 

13  We  having  "the  same  spirit  of  faith,  according  as  it  is 
written,  ""I  believed,  and  therefore  have  I  spoken ;  we  also 
believe,  and  therefore  speak ; 

14  Knowing  that  "he  which  raised  up  the  Lord  Jesus,  shall 
raise  up  us  also  by  Jesu.s,  and  shall  present  us  with  you. 

15  For  ''all  things  are  for  your  sakes,  that  'the  abundant 
grace  might  through  the  thanksgiving  of  many  redound  to 
tiie  glory  of  God. 

16  For  which  cause  we  faint  not;  but  though  our  outward 
man  perish,  yet  •'the  inward  man  is  renewed  day  by  day. 

17  For'ourlightaffliction,  which  is  but  for  a  moment.work- 
eth  for  us  a  far  more  exceeding  and  eternal  weight  of  glory; 


not  look  stedfastly  upon  the  fece  of  Mo'ses  for  the 
glory  of  his  face ;    which  ghry  'was  passing  away : 
Show  shall  not  rather  the  ministration  of  the  spirit 
9 be  with  glory?     ^For  if  the  ministration  of  con- 
demnation is  glory,  much  rather  doth  the  ministra- 
lOtion  of   righteousness  exceed  in  glory.     For  verily 
that  which  hath  been  made  glorious  hath  not  been 
made  glorious  in  this  respect,  by  reason  of  the  glory 

11  that  surpasseth.  For  if  that  which  ^passeth  away 
was  *with  glory,  much  more  that  which  remaineth 
is  in  glory. 

12  Having  therefore  such  a  hope,  we  use  great  bold- 
13ness  of  speech,  and  are   not  as  Mo'ses,  who  put  a 

veil  upon  his  face,  that  the  children  of  Is'ra-el  should 
not  look  stedfastly  *on  the  end  of  that  which  'was 

14  passing  away :  but  their  *minds  were  hardened :  for 
until  this  very  day  at  the  reading  of  the  old  'cove- 
nant the  same  veil  'remaineth  unlifted ;  which  veil 

15  is  done  away  in  Christ.  But  unto  this  day,  when 
soever  Mo'ses  is  read,  a  veil  lieth  upon  their  heart. 

16  But  whensoever  'it  shall  turn  to  the  Lord,  the  veil 
17 is  taken  away.  Now  the  Lord  is  the  Spirit:  and 
18  where  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is,  there  is  liberty.    But 

we  all,  with  unveiled  face  '"reflecting  as  a  mirror  the 
glory  of  the  Lord,  are  transformed  into  the  same 
image  from  glory  to  glory,  even  as  from  "the  Lord 
the  Spirit. 

^     Therefore  seeing  we  have  this  ministry,  even  as 

2  we  obtained  mercy,  we  faint  not :  but  we  have  re- 
nounced the  hidden  things  of  shame,  not  walking 
in  craftiness,  nor  handling  the  word  of  God  deceit- 
fully ;  but  by  the  manifestation  of  the  truth  com- 
mending ourselves  to  every  man's  conscience  in  the 

3  sight  of  God.     But  and  if  our  gospel  is  veiled,  it  is 

4  veiled  in  them  that  are  perishing :  in  whom  the  god 
of  this  '%orld  hath  blinded  the  *minds  of  the  unbe- 
lieving, "that  the  '^light  of  the  gospel  of  the  glory 
of  Christ,  who  is  the  image  of  God,  should   not 

5  dawn  upon  them.  For  we  preach  not  ourselves,  but 
Christ  Jesus  as  Lord,  and  ourselves  as  your  "serv- 

6  ants  '"for  Jesus'  sake.  Seeing  it  is  God,  that  said. 
Light  shall  shine  out  of  darkness,  who  shined  in  our 
hearts,  to  give  the  '*light  of  the  knowledge  of  the 
glory  of  God  in  the  face  of  Jesus  Christ. 

7  But  we  have  this  treasure  in  earthen  vessels,  that 
the  exceeding  greatness  of  the  power  may  be  of 

8  God,  and  not  from  ourselves ;  we  are  pressed  on  every 
side,  yet  not  straitened;    perplexed,  yet   not  unto 

9  despair ;  pursued,  yet  not  '"forsaken ;  smitten  down, 
lOyet  not  destroyed;  always  bearing  about  in  the  body 

the  '*dying  of  Jesus,  that  the  life  also  of  Jesus  may 

11  be  manifested  in  our  body.  For  we  which  live  are 
alway  delivered  unto  death  for  Jesus'  sake,  that  the 
life  also  of  Jesus  may  be  manifested  in  our  mortal 

12  flesh.     So  then  death  worketh  in  us,  but  life  in  you. 

13  But  having  the  same  spirit  of  faith,  according  to  that 
which  is  written,  I  believed,  and  therefore  did  I 
speak  ;  we  also  believe,  and  therefore  also  we  speak ; 

14  knowing  that  he  which  raised  up  "the  Ix)rd  Jesus 
shall  raise  up  us  also  with  Jesus,  and  shall  present  us 

15  with  you.  For  ail  things  are  for  your  sakes,  that  the 
grace,  being  multiplied  through  ^tiie  many,  may  cause 
the  thanksgiving  to  abound  unto  the  glory  of  God. 

16  Wherefore  we  faint  not;  but  though  our  out- 
ward   man    is    decaying,   yet    our    inward    man    is 

17  renewed  day  by  day.  For  our  light  afiliction, 
which  is  for  the  moment,  worketh  for  us  more 
and  more  exceedingly  an  eternal   weight  of  glory ;

18  *While  we  look  not  at  the  things  which  are  seen,  but 
at  the  things  which  are  not  seen :  for  the  things  which  are 
seen  a7-e  temporal;  but  the  things  which  are  not  seen 
are  eternal. 

CHAPTER    V. 

PauPs  hope  of  immortal  glory. 

IjlOR  we  know  that,  if  "our  earthly  house  of  tlm  taber- 
nacle were  dissolved,  we   have    a  building  of  God,  a 
house  not  made  with  hands,  eternal  in  the  heavens. 

2  For  in  this  'we  groan,  earnestly  desiring  to  be  clothed 
upon  with  our  house  which  is  from  heaven  : 

3  If  so  be  that  "being  clothed  we  shall  not  be  found  naked. 

4  For  we  that  are  in  ikxs  tabernacle  do  groan,  being  bur- 
dened: not  for  that  we  would  be  unclothed,  but  ''clothed 
upon,  that  mortality  might  be  swallowed  up  of  life. 

5  Now  'he  that  hath  wrought  us  for  the  selfsame  thing  is 
God,  who  also  •''hath  given  unto  us  the  earnest  of  the  Spirit. 

6  Therefore  we  are  always  confident,  knowing,  that  whilst 
we  are  at  home  in  the  body,  we  are  absent  from  the  Lord : 

7  (For  "we  walk  by  faith,  not  by  sight :) 

8  We  are  confident,  /  say,  and  ''willing  rather  to  be  absent 
from  the  body,  and  to  be  present  with  the  Lord. 

9  Wherefore  we  || labour,  that,  whether  present  or  absent, 
we  may  be  accepted  of  him. 

10  'For  we  must  all  appear  before  the  judgment  seat  of 
Christ;  *that  every  one  may  receive  the  things  done  in  Ais 
body,  according  to  that  he  hath  done,  whether  it  he  good 
or  bad. 

11  Knowing  therefore  'the  terror  of  the  Lord,  we  per- 
suade men;  but  "'we  are  made  manifest  unto  God;  and  I 
trust  also  are  made  manifest  in  your  consciences. 

12  For  "we  commend  not  ourselves  again  unto  you,  but 
give  you  occasion  "to  glory  on  our  behalf,  that  ye  may  have 
somewhat  to  answer  them  which  glory  fin  appearance,  and 
not  in  heart. 

13  For  "whether  we  be  beside  ourselves,  it  is  to  God:  or 
whether  we  be  sober,  it  is  for  your  cause. 

14  For  the  love  of  Christ  constraineth  us;  because  we 
thus  judge,  that  «if  one  died  for  all,  then  were  all  dead: 

15  And  that  he  died  for  all,  'that  they  which  live  should 
not  henceforth  live  unto  themselves,  but  unto  him  which 
died  for  them,  and  rose  again. 

16  'Wherefore  henceforth  know  we  no  man  after  the  flesh: 
yea,  though  we  have  known  Christ  after  the  flesh,  "yet  now 
henceforth  know  Ave  him  no  more. 

1 7  Therefore  if  any  man  "be  in  Christ,  ||  he  is  ^a  new  creature : 
"old  things  are  passed  away ;  behold,  all  things  are  become  new. 

18  And  all  things  are  of  God,  'who  hath  reconciled  us  to 
himself  by  Jesus  Christ,  and  hath  given  to  us  the  ministry 
of  reconciliation; 

19  To  wit,  that  "God  was  in  Christ,  reconciling  the  world 
unto  himself,  not  imputing  their  trespasses  unto  them  ;  and 
hath  fcommitted  unto  us  the  word  of  reconciliation. 

20  Now  then  we  are  'ambassadors  for  Christ,  as  "though 
God  did  beseech  you  by  us :  we  pray  you  in  Christ's  stead, 
be  ye  reconciled  to  God. 

21  For  ■'he  hath  made  him  to  be  sin  for  us,  who  knew  no 
sin ;  that  we  might  be  made  'the  righteousness  of  God  in 
him. 

CHAPTER     VI. 

PauVs  sufferings  and  patience  in  the  ministry, 

WE  then,  as  "workers  together  wii/t  Aim, 'beseech  yow  also 
'that  ye  receive  not  the  grace  of  God  in  vain. 

2  (For  he  saith,  ''I  have  heard  thee  in  a  time  accepted,  and 
in  the  day  of  salvation  have  I  succoured  thee:  behold,  now 
is  the  accepted  time ;  behold,  now  is  the  day  of  salvation.) 

3  'Giving  no  offence  in  any  thing,  that  the  ministry  be 
not  blamed : 

4  But  in  all  things  f  approving  ourselves  -'as  the  ministers 


18  while  we  look  not  at  the  things  which  are  seen,  but 
at  the  things  which  are  not  seen ;  for  the  things 
which  are  seen  are  temporal ;  but  the  things  which 
are  not  seen  are  eternal. 

0  For  we  know  that  if  the  earthly  house  of  our 
'tabernacle  be  dissolved,  we  have  a  building  from 
God,  a  house  not  made  with  hands,  eternal,  in  the 

2  heavens.  For  verily  in  this  we  groan,  longing  to 
be  clothed  upon  with  our  habitation  which  is  from 

3  heaven :  if  so  be  that  being  clothed  we  shall  not  be 

4  found  naked.  For  indeed  we  that  are  in  this  'taber- 
nacle do  groan,  ^being  burdened ;  not  for  that  we 
would  be  unclothed,  but  that  we  would  be  clothed 
upon,  that  what  is  mortal  may  be  swallowed  up  of 

5  life.  Now  he  that  wrought  us  for  this  very  thing  is 
God,  who  gave  unto  us  the  earnest  of  the  Spirit. 

6  Being  therefore  always  of  good  courage,  and  know- 
ing that,  whilst  we  are  at  home  in  the  body  we  are 

7  absent  from  the  Lord  (for  we  walk  by  faith,  not  by 
8 'sight) ;  we  are  of  good  courage,  I  say,  and  are  will- 
ing rather  to  be  absent  from  the  body,  and  to  be  at 

9  home  with  the  Lord.  Wherefore  also  we  *make  it 
our  aim,  whether  at   home  or  absent,  to  be   well- 

10  pleasing  unto  him.  For  we  must  all  be  made  mani- 
fest before  the  judgement-seat  of  Christ;  that  each 
one  may  receive  the  things  done  "in  the  body,  accord- 
ing to  what  he  hath  done,  whether  it  be  good  or  bad. 

11  Knowing  therefore  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  we  per- 
suade men,  but  we  are  made  manifest  unto  God ;  and 
I  hope  that  we  are  made  manifest  also  in  your  cou- 

12  sciences.  We  are  not  again  commending  ourselves 
unto  you,  but  speak  as  giving  you  occasion  of  glory- 
ing on  our  behalf,  that  ye  may  have  wherewith  to 
answer  them   that  glory  in   appearance,  and  not  in 

13  heart.  For  whether  we  'are  beside  ourselves,  it  is 
unto  God;   or  whether  we  are  of  sober  mind,  it 

14  is  unto  you.  For  the  love  of  Christ  constraineth 
us;  because  we  thus  judge,  that  one  died  for  all, 

15 therefore  all  died;  and  he  died  for  all,  that  they 
which  live  should  no  longer  live  unto  themselves, 
but  unto  him   who   for  their  sakes   died  and   rose 

16  again.  Wherefore  we  henceforth  know  no  man 
after  the  flesh :  even  though  we  have  known  Christ 
after  the  flesh,  yet  now  we  know  him  so  no  more. 

17  Wherefore  if  any  man  is  in  Christ,  'Ae  is  a  new  crea- 
ture :  the  old  things  are  passed  away ;  behold,  they 

18  are  become  new.  But  all  things  are  of  God,  who 
reconciled  us  to  himself  through  Christ,  and  gave 

19 unto  us  the  ministry  of  reconciliation;  io  wit,  that 
God  was  in  Christ  reconciling  the  world  unto  him- 
self, not  reckoning  unto  them  their  trespasses,  and 
having  'committed  unto  us  the  word  of  reconciliation. 

20  We  are  ambassadors  thereof  on  behalf  of  Christ, 
as  though  God  were  intreating  by  us:  we  beseech 
you  on  behalf  of  Christ,  be  ye   reconciled  to  God. 

21  Him  who  knew  no  sin  he  made  to  be  sin  on  our 
/v  behalf;  that  we  might  become  the  righteousness  of 
t)God  in   him.     And  working  together  with  him  we 

intreat  also  that  ye  receive  not  the  grace  of  God  in 
2  vain  (for  he  saith. 

At  an  acceptable  time  I  hearkened  unto  thee, 

And  in  a  day  of  salvation  did  I  succour  thee : 

behold,  now  is  the  acceptable  time ;  behold,  now  is  the 

3 day  of  salvation):  giving  no  occasion  of  stumbling 

in  anything,  that  our  ministration  be  not  blamed; 

4  but  in  everything  commending  ourselves,  as  ministers

CHAPTKR    VII. 

Paul  exhorteth  to  purity  of  life. 

HAVING  "therefore  these  promises,  dearly  beloved,  let 
us  cleanse  ourselves  from  all  filthiness  of  the  flesh  and 
spirit,  perfecting  holiness  in  the  fear  of  God. 

2  Receive  us;  we  have  wronged  no  man,  we  have  cor- 
rupted no  man,  'we  have  defrauded  no  man. 

3  I  speak  not  this  to  condemn  yon:  for  "I  have  said  be- 
fore, that  ye  are  in  our  hearts  to  die  and  live  with  you. 

4  ''Gr^at  is  my  boldness  of  speech  toward  you,  'great  is 
my  glorying  of  you :  •'I  am  filled  with  comfort,  I  am  ex- 
ceeding joyful  in  all  our  tribulation. 

5  For,  "when  we  were  come  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  our  flesh 
had  no  rest,  but  *we  were  troubled  on  every  side ;  'without 
were  fightings,  within  were  fears. 

6  Nevertheless  *God,  that  comforteth  those  that  are  cast 
down,  comforted  us  by  'the  coming  of  Ti'tus ; 

7  And  not  by  his  coming  only,  but  by  the  consolation 
wherewith  he  was  comforted  in  you,  when  he  told  us  your 
earnest  desire,  your  mourning,  your  fervent  mind  toward 
me;  so  that  I  rejoiced  the  more. 

8  For  though  I  made  you  sorry  with  a  letter,  I  do  not 
repent,  "though  I  did  repent :  for  I  perceive  that  the  same 
epistle  hath  made  you  sorry,  though  it  were  but  for  a  season: 

9  Now  I  rejoice,  not  that  ye  were  made  sorry,  but  that  ye 
sorrowed  to  repentance:  for  ye  were  made  sorry  ||  after  a 
godly  manner,  tnat  ye  might  receive  damage  by  us  in  nothing. 

10  For  "godly  sorrow  worketh  repentance  to  salvation  not 
to  be  repented  of:  "but  the  sorrow  of  the  world  worketh  death. 

11  For  behold  this  selfsame  thing,  that  ye  sorrowed  after 
a  godly  sort,  what  carefulness  it  wrought  in  you,  yea,  what 
clearing  of  yourselves,  yea,  what  indignation,  yea,  whxit 
fear,  yea,  what  vehement  desire,  yea,  what  zeal,  yea,  whai 
revenge !  In  all  things  ye  have  approved  yourselves  to  be 
clear  in  this  matter. 


of  God,  in  much  patience,  in  afflictions,  in  neces- 
5sities,  in  distresses,  in  stripes,  in  imprisonments,  in 
6 tumults,    in    labours,  in  watchings,    in  fastings;    in 

pureness,  in  knowledge,  in   longsuffering,  in  kinel- 

7  ness,  in  the  'Holy  Ghost,  in  love  unfeigned,  in 
the  word  of  truth,  in  the  power  of  God;  ^by  the 
armour  of  righteousness  on  the  right  hand  and  on 

8  the  left,  by  glory  and  dishonour,  by  evil  report  and 

9  good  report ;  as  deceivers,  and  yet  true ;  as  unknown, 
and  yet  well  known  ;  as  dying,  and  behold,  we  live ; 

lOas  chastened,  and  not  killed  ;  as  sorrowful,  yet  alway 
rejoicing ;  as  poor,  yet  making  many  rich ;  as  having 
nothing,  and  yet  possessing  all  things. 

11  Our  mouth  is  open  unto  you,  O  Co-rin'thi-ans,  our 

12  heart  is  enlarged.     Ye  are  not  straitened  in  us,  but 

13  ye  are  straitened  in  your  own  affections.     Now  for 
a  recompense  in  like  kind  (I  speak  as  unto  my  chil 
dren),  be  ye  also  enlarged. 

14  Be  not  unequally  yoked  with  unbelievers:  for 
what    fellowship  have    righteousness  and  iniquity? 

15 or  what  communion  hath  light  with  darkness?  And 
what  concord  hath  Christ  with  ^Be'li-al?  or  whatpor- 

IGtion  hath  a  believer  with  an  unbeliever?  And  what 
agreement  hath  a  Hemple  of  God  with  idols  ?  for 
we  are  a  ^temple  of  the  living  God ;  even  as  God 
said,  I  will  dwell  in  them,  and  walk  in  them ;  and  I 
will  be  their    God,  and  they    shall   be  my  people. 

17  Wherefore 

Come  ye  out  from  among  them,  and  be  ye  separate, 

saith  the  Lord, 
And  touch  no  unclean  thing; 
And  I  will  receive  you, 

18  And  will  be  to  you  a  Father, 

7     And  ye  shall  be  to  me  sons  and  daughters, 
saith  the  Lord  Almighty.     Having  therefore  these 

promises,  beloved,  let  us  cleanse  ourselves  from  all 

defilement  of  flesh  and  spirit,  perfecting  holiness  in 

the  fear  of  God. 
2      'Open  your  hearts  to  us:    we  wronged  no  man, 

we  corrupted  no  man,  we  took  advantage  of  no  man. 
3 1  say  it  not  to  condemn  you :  for  I  have  said  before, 

that  ye  are  in  our  hearts  to  die  together  and  live  to- 
4gether.     Great  is  my  boldness  of  speech  toward  you, 

great  is  my  glorying  on  your  behalf:  I  am  filled  with 

comfort,  I  overflow  with  joy  in  all  our  affliction. 

5  For  even  when  we  were  come  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a, 
our  flesh  had  no  relief,  but  we  were  afflicted  on  every 
side ;    without   were   fightings,    within    were    fears. 

6  Nevertheless    he  that    comforteth    the    lowly,    erien 

7  God,  comforted  us  by  the  'coming  of  Ti'tus ;  and 
not  by  his  'coming  only,  but  also  by  the  comfort 
wherewith  he  was  comforted  in  you,  while  he  told 
ns  your  longing,  your  mourning,  your  zeal  for  me : 

8  so  that  I  rejoiced  yet  more.  For  though  I  made  you 
sorry  with  my  epistle,  I  do  not  regret  it,  though  I 
did  regret;   'for  I   see  that  that  epistle  made  you 

9  sorry,  though  but  for  a  season.  Now  I  rejoice,  not 
that  ye  were  made  sorry,  but  that  ye  were  made 
sorry  unto  repentance:  for  ye  were  made  sorry  after 
a  godly  sort,  that  ye  might  suffer  loss  by  us  in  noth- 

10  ing.  For  godly  sorrow  worketh  repentance  ^iinto 
salvation,   a  repentance  which   bringeth    no   regret : 

11  but  the  sorrow  of  the  world  worketh  death.  For 
behold,  this  selfsame  thing,  that  ye  were  made  sorry 
after  a  godly  sort,  what  earnest  care  it  wrought  in 
you,  yea,  what  clearing  of  yourselves,  yea,  what 
indignation,  yea,  what  fear,  yea,  what  longing, 
yea,  what  zeal,  yea,  what  avenging  !  In  everything 
ye   approved  yourselves  to  be  pure  in  the  matter.

12  Wherefore,  though  I  wrote  unto  you,  I  did  it  not  forhis 
cause  that  had  done  the  wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that  suf- 
fered wrong,  ''but  that  our  care  for  you  in  the  sight  of  God 
might  appear  unto  you. 

13  Therefore  we  were  comforted  in  your  comfort:  yea,  and 
exceedingly  the  more  joyed  we  for  the  joy  of  Ti'tus,  because 
his  spirit  'was  refreshed  by  you  all. 

14  For  if  I  have  boasted  any  thing  to  him  of  you,  I  am 
not  ashamed;  but  as  we  spake  all  things  to  you  in  truth, 
even  so  our  boasting,  which  /  made  before  Ti'tus,  is  found 
a  truth. 

15  And  his  finward  affection  is  more  abundant  toward 
you,  whilst  he  remembereth  ""the  obedience  of  you  all,  how 
with  fear  and  trembling  ye  received  him. 

16  I  rejoice  therefore  that  'I  have  confidence  in  you  in  all 
things. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

Paul  exhorttth  to  liberality. 

MOREOVER,  brethren,  we  do  you  to  wit  of  the  grace  of 
God  bestowed  on  the  churches  of  Mac-e-do'ni-'a ; 

2  How  that  in  a  great  trial  of  affliction,  the  abundance  of 
their  joy  and  "their  deep  poverty  abounded  unto  the  riches 
of  their  fliberality. 

3  For  to  <Aei>  power,  I  bear  record,  yea,  and  beyond  their 
power,  they  were  willing  of  themselves ; 

4  Praying  us  with  much  entreaty  that  we  would  receive 
the  gift,  and  take,  upon  U8  'the  fellowship  of  the  ministering 
to  the  saints. 

5  And  this  they  did,  not  as  we  hoped,  but  first  gave  their 
own  selves  to  the  Lord,  and  unto  us  by  the  will  of  God. 

6  Insomuch  that  ""we  desired  Ti'tus,  that  as  he  had  begun, 
so  he  would  also  finish  in  you  the  same  {|  grace  also. 

7  Therefore,  as  ''ye  abound  in  every  thing,  in  faith,  and 
utterance,  and  knowledge,  and  in  all  diligence,  and  in  your 
love  to  us,  see  'that  ye  abound  in  this  grace  also. 

8  -'I  speak  not  by  commandment,  but  by  occasion  of  the 
forwardness  of  others,  and  to  prove  the  sincerity  of  your  love. 

9  For  ye  know  the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  "that 
though  he  was  rich,  yet  for  your  sakes  he  became  poor,  that 
ye  through  his  poverty  might  be  rich. 

10  And  herein  ''I  give  my  advice:  for  *this  is  expedient  for 
you,  who  have  begun  before,  not  only  to  do,  but  also  to  be 
t'forward  a  year  ago. 

1 1  Now  therefore  perform  the  doing  of  it ;  that  as  there  was 
a  readiness  to  will,  so  there  may  be  a  performance  also  out  of 
that  which  ye  have. 

12  For  'if  there  be  first  a  willing  mind,  it  is  accepted  accord- 
ing to  that  a  man  hath,  and  not  according  to  that  ne  hath  not. 

13  For  /  mean  not  that  other  men  be  eased,  and  you 
burdened : 

14  But  by  an  equality,  that  now  at  this  time  your  abun- 
dance maybe  a  supply  (or  their  want,  that  their  abundance  also 
may  be  a  supply  for  your  want ;  that  there  may  be  equality : 

15  As  it  is  written,  "'He  that  had  gathered  much  had 
nothing  over;  and  he  that  had  gathered  little  bad  no  lack. 

16  But  thanks  be  to  God,  which  put  the  same  earnest  care 
into  the  heart  of  Ti'tus  for  you. 

17  For  indeed  he  accepted  "the  exhortation;  but  being 
more  forward,  of  his  own  accord  he  went  unto  you. 

18  And  we  have  sent  with  him  "the  brother,  whose  praise 
is  in  the  gospel  throughout  all  the  churches; 

19  And  not  that  only,  but  who  was  also  ''chosen  of  the 
churches  to  travel  with  us  with  this  |[  grace,  which  is  ad- 
ministered by  us  'to  the  glory  of  the  same  Loxd,  and 
declaration  of  your  ready  mind : 

20  Avoiding  this,  that  no  man  should  blame  us  in  this 
abundance  which  is  administered  by  us : 

21  'Providing  for  honest  things,  not  only  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord,  but  also  in  the  sight  of  men. 


12  So  although  I  wrote  unto  you,  I  wrote  not  for  his 
cause  that  did  the  wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that  suf- 
fered the  wrong,  but  that  your  earnest  care  for  us 
might  be  made  manifest  unto  you  in  the  sight  of  God. 

13  Therefore  we  have  been  comforted :  and  in  our  com- 
fort we  joyed  the  more  exceedingly  for  the  joy  of 
Ti'tus,  because  his  spirit  hath  been  refreshed  by  you 

14  all.  For  if  in  anything  I  have  gloried  to  him  on  your 
behalf,  I  was  not  put  to  shame ;  but  as  we  spake  all 

•    things  to  you  in  truth,  so  our  glorying  also,  which  I 

15  made  before  Ti'tus,  was  found  to  be  truth.  And  his 
inward  affection  is  more  abundantly  toward  you, 
whilst  he   remembereth  the   obedience  of  you  all, 

16  how  with  fear  and  trembling  you  received  him.     I 
rejoice  that  in  everything  I  am  of  good  courage  con 
cerning  you. 

O  Moreover,  brethren,  we  make  known  to  you  the 
grace  of  God  which  hath  been  given  in  the  churches 

2  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a ;  how  that  in  much  proof  of  affliction 
the -abundance  of  their  joy  and  their  deep  poverty 

3  abounded  unto  the  riches  of  their  'liberality.  For 
according  to  their  power,  I  bear  witness,  yea  and 
beyond  their  power,  they  gave  of  their  own  accord, 

4  beseeching  us  with  much  intreaty  in  regard  of  this 
grace,  and  the  fellowship  in  the  ministering  to  the 

5  saints :  and  this,  not  as  we  had  hoped,  but  first  they 
gave  their  own  selves  to  the  Lord,  and  to  us  by  the 

6  will  of  God.  Insomuch  that  we  exhorted  Ti'tus,  that 
as  he  had  made  a  beginning  before,  so  he  would  also 

7  complete  in  you  this  grace  also.     But  as  ye  abound 
in  everything,  in  faith,  and  utterance,  and  knowl 
edge,  and  in  all  earnestness,  and  in  ^your  love  to  us, 

8  see  that  ye  abound  in  this  grace  also.  I  speak  not 
by  way  of  commandment,  but  as  proving  through 
the   earnestness  of  others  the  sincerity  also  of  your 

9  love.  For  ye  know  the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that,  though  he  was  rich,  yet  for  your  sakes 
he  became  poor,  that  ye  through  his  poverty  might 

10 become  rich.  And  herein  I  give  my  judgement: 
for  this  is  expedient  for  you,  who  were  the  first  to 
make  a  beginning  a  year  ago,  not  only  to  do,  but 

11  also  to  will.  But  now  complete  the  doing  also; 
that  as  there  was  the  readiness  to  will,  so  there  may 

12  be  the  completion  also  out  of  your  ability.  For  if 
the  readiness  is  there,  it  is  acceptable  according  as  a 

15  man  hath,  not  according  as  he  hath  not.  For  I  say 
not  this,  that  others  may  be  eased, and  ye  distressed: 

14  but  by  equality ;  your  abundance  being  a  supply  at 
this  present  time  for  their  want,  that  their  abundance 
also  may  become  a  supply  for  your  want ;  that  there 

15 may  be  equality:  as  it  is  written.  He  that  gathered 
much  had  nothing  over;  and  he  that  gathered  little 
had  no  lack. 

16  But  thanks  be  to  God,  which  putteth   the   same 

17  earnest  care  for  you  into  the  heart  of  Ti'tus.  For 
indeed  he  accepted  our  exhortation ;  but  being  him- 
self very  earnest,  he  went  forth  unto  you  of  his  own 

18  accord.  And  we  have  sent  together  with  him  the 
brother  whose  praise  in  the  gospel  is  spread  through 

19 all  the  churches;  and  not  only  so,  but  who  was  also 
appointed  by  the  churches  to  travel  with  us  in  the  mat- 
ter of  this  grace,  which  is  ministered  by  us  to  the  glory 

20 of  the  Lord,  and  to  shew  our  readiness:  avoiding 
this,  that   any  man   should   blame  us  in  the  matter 

21  of  this  bounty  which  is  ministered  by  us :  for  we 
take  thought  for  things  honourable,  not  only  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  but  also  in  the  sight  of.  men.

22  And  we  have  sent  with  them  our  brother,  whom  we  have 
oftentimes  proved  diligent  in  many  things,  but  now  much 
more  diligent,  upon  the  great  confidence  which  ||  Ihave  in  you. 

23  Whether  any  do  inquire  of  Ti'tus,  he  is  my  partner  and 
fellow  helper  concerning  you:  or  our  brethren  be  inquired 
of,  they  are  'the  messengers  of  the  churches,  and  the  glory 
of  Christ. 

24  Wherefore  shew  ye  to  them,  and  before  the  churches, 
the  proof  of  your  love,  and  of  our  'boasting  on  your 
behalf. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Bountiful  giving  recommended, 

FOR  as   touching  "the    ministering  to  the  saints,  it  is 
superfluous  for  me  to  write  to  you: 

2  For  I  know  *the  forwardness  of  your  mind,  'for  which  I 
boast  of  you  to  them  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  that  ''A-cha'ia  was 
ready  a  year  ago;  and  your  zeal  hath  provoked  very  many. 

3  *Yet  have  I  sent  the  brethren,  lest  our  boasting  of  you 
should  be  in  vain  in  this  behalf;  that,  as  I  said,  ye  may  be 
ready : 

4  Lest  haply  if  they  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a  come  with  me,  and  find 
you  unprepared,  we  (that  we  say  not,  ye)  should  be  ashamed 
in  this  same  confident  boasting. 

5  Therefore  I  thought  it  necessary  to  exhort  the  brethren, 
that  they  would  go  before  unto  you,  and  make  up  before- 
hand your  fbounty,  ||  whereof  ye  had  notice  before,  that  the 
same  might  be  ready,  as  a  matter  of  bounty,  and  not  as  of 
covetousness. 

6  ^But  this  I  say,  He  which  soweth  sparingly  shall  reap 
also  sparingly;  and  he  which  soweth  bountifully  shall  reap 
also  bountifully. 

7  Every  man  according  as  he  purposeth  in  his  heart,  so 
let  him  give ;  'not  grudgingly,  or  of  necessity :  for  *God 
loveth  a  cheerful  giver. 

8  'And  God  is  able  to  make  all  grace  abound  toward  you ; 
that  ye,  always  having  all  sufficiency  in  all  things,  may 
abound  to  every  good  work: 

9  (As  it  is  written,  *He  hath  dispersed  abroad;  he  hath 
given  to  the  poor :  his  righteousness  remaineth  for  ever. 

10  Now  he  that  'ministereth  seed  to  the  sower  both 
minister  bread  for  your  food,  and  multiply  your  seed  sown, 
and  increase  the  fruits  of  your  "righteousness:) 

11  Being  enriched  in  every  thing  to  all  ||  tDOU^tifulness, 
"which  causeth  through  us  thanksgiving  to  God. 

12  For  the  administration  of  this  service  not  only  'sup- 
plieth  the  want  of  the  saints,  but  is  abundant  also  by  many 
thanksgivings  unto  God; 

13  While  by  the  experiment  of  this  ministration  they  "glo- 
rify God  for  your  professed  subjection  unto  the  gospel  of 
Christ,  and  for  your  liberal  'distribution  unto  them,  and  unto 
all  men; 

14  And  by  their  prayer  for  you,  which  long  after  you  for 
the  exceeding  'grace  of  God  in  you. 

15  Thanks  be  unto  God  'for  his  unspeakable  gift. 

CHAPTER  X. 

0/  Pauls  spiritual  power. 

"VTOW  "I  Paul  myself  beseech  you  by  the  meekness  and 
lA  gentleness  of  Christ,  'who  ||  in  presence  am  base  among 
you,  but  being  absent  am  bold  toward  you : 

2  But  I  beseech  you,  "that  I  may  not  be  bold  when  I  am  pres- 
ent with  that  confidence,  wherewith  I  think  to  be  bold  against 
some,  which  Ijthink  of  us  as  if  we  walked  accordingto  the  flesh. 

3  For  though  we  walk  in  the  flesh,  we  do  not  war  after 
the  flesh: 

4  (""For  the  weapons  'cf  our  warfare  are  not  carnal,  but 
•'mighty  l|through  God  "to  the  pulling  down  of  strong  holds ;) 

5  "Casting  down  |{  imaginations,  and  every  high  thing 
that  exalteth  itself  against  the  knowledgeof  God,  and  bring- 
ing into  captivity  every  thought  to  the  obedience  of  Christ; 


22  And  we  have  sent  with  them  our  brother,  whom  we 
have  many  times  proved  earnest  in  many  things,  but 
now  much  more  earnest,  by  reason  of  the  great  con- 

23  fidence  which  he  hath  in  you.  Whether  any  inquire 
about  Ti'tus,  he  is  my  partner  and  my  fellow-worker  to 
you-ward ;  or  our  brethren,  they  are  the  'messengers 

24  of  the  churches,  they  are  the  glory  of  Christ.  ^Shew 
ye  therefore  unto  them  in  the  face  of  the  churches 
the  proof  of  your  love,  and  of  our  glorying  on  your 
behalf. 

y      For  as  touching  the  ministering  to  the  saints,  it 

2 is  superfluous  for  me  to  write  to  you:  for  I  know 
your  readiness,  of  which  I  glory  on  your  behalf  to 
them  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a,that  A-cha'ia  hath  been  prepared 
for  a  year  past ;   and  ^your  zeal  hath  stirred  up  Very 

3  many  of  them.  But  I  have  sent  the  brethren,  that 
our  glorying  on  your  behalf  may  not  be  made  void 
in  this  respect;  that,  even  as  I  said,  ye  may  be  pre- 

4 pared:  lest  by  any  means,  if  there  come  with  me 
any  of  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  and  find  you  unprepared,  we 
(that  we  say  not,  ye)  should  be  put  to  shame  in  this 

5  confidence.  I  thought  it  necessary  therefore  to 
intreat  the  brethren,  that  they  would  go  before  unto 
you,  and  make  up  beforehand  your  aforepromised 
"bounty,  that  the  same  might  be  ready,  as  a  matter 
of  bounty,  and  n-^t  of  'extortion. 

6  But  this  /  say.  He  that  soweth  sparingly  shall 
reap  also  sparingly ;  and  be  that  soweth  'bountifully 

7  shall  reap  also  'bountifully.  Let  each  man  do  ac- 
cording as  he  hath  purposed  in  his  heart;  not 
'grudgingly,   or  of  necessity:     for    God   loveth   a 

8  cheerful  giver.  And  God  is  able  to  make  all  grace 
abound  unto  you;  that  ye,  having  always  all  suffi- 
ciency in  everything,   may  abound  unto  every  good 

9 work:  as  it  is  written. 

He  hath  scattered  abroad,  he  hath  given  to  the  poor; 
His  righteousness  abideth  for  ever. 

10  And  he  that  supplieth  seed  to  the  sower  and  bread 
for  food,  shall  supply  and  multiply  your  seed  for 
sowing,  and  increase  the  fruits  of  your  righteous 

llness:  ye  being  enriched  in  everything  unto  all 
'liberality,  which  worketh  through  us  thanksgiving 

12  to  God.  For  the  ministration  of  this  service  not 
only  fiUeth  up  the  measure  of  the  wants  of  the 
saints,  but  aboundeth  also   through   many   thanks- 

ISgivings  unto  God;  seeing  that  through  the  proving 
of  you  by  this  ministration  they  glorify  God  for  the 
obedience  of  your  confession  unto  the  gospel  of 
Christ,  and  for  the  'liberality  of  your  contribution 

14  unto  them  and  unto  all ;  while  they  themselves  also, 
with  supplication  on  your  behalf,  long  after  you  by 
reason   of  the   exceeding   grace    of    God    in    you. 

15  Thanks  be  to  God  for  his  unspeakable  gift. 

Iv  Now  I  Paul  myself  intreat  you  by  the  meekness 
and  gentleness  of  Christ,  I  who  in  your  presence 
am  lowly  among  you,  but  being  absent  am  of  good 

2  courage  toward  you:  yea,  I  beseech  you,  that  I  may 
not  when  present  shew  courage  with  the  confidence 
wherewith  I  count  to  be  bold  against  some,  which 
count  of  us  as  if  we  walked  according  to  th^  flesh. 

3  For  though  we  walk  in  the  flesh,  we  do  not  war  ac- 

4  cording  to  the  flesh  (for  the  weapons  of  our  warfare 
are  not  of  the  flesh,  but  mighty  before  God  to  the 

5 casting  down  of  strong  holds);  casting  down 
"imaginations,  and  every  high  thing  that  is  exalted 
against  the  knowledge  of  God,  and  bringing  every 
thought  into  captivity  to  the  obedience  of  Christ ;

6  'And  having  in  a  readiness  to  revenge  all  disobedience, 
when  *your  obedience  is  fulfilled. 

7  'Do  ye  look  on  things  after  the  outward  appearance  ?  "If 
any  man  trust  to  himself  that  he  is  Christ's,  let  him  of  himself 
think  this  again,  that,  as  he  is  Christ's,  even  so  are  "we  Christ's. 

8  For  though  I  should  boast  somewhat  more  "of  our 
authority,  which  the  Lord  hath  given  us  for  edification,  and 
not  for  your  destruction,  "I  should  not  be  ashamed : 

9  That  I  may  not  seem  as  if  I  would  terrify  you  by  letters. 

10  For  his  letters,  fsay  they,  are  weighty  and  powerful; 
but  ''his  bodily  presence  is  weak,  and  his  ''speech  contemptible. 

11  Let  such  a  one  think  this,  that,  such  as  we  are  in 
word  by  letters  when  we  are  absent,  such  will  we  be  also  in 
deed  when  we  are  present. 

12  'For  we  dare  not  make  ourselves  of  the  number,  or 
compare  ourselves  with  some  that  commend  themselves : 
but  they,  measuring  themselves  by  themselves,  and  com- 
paring themselves  among  themselves,  ||are  not  wise. 

13  'But  we  will  not  boast  of  things  without  our  measure, 
but  according  to  the  measure  of  the  ||  rule  which  God  hath 
distributed  to  us,  a  measure  to  reach  even  unto  you. 

14  For  we  stretch  not  ourselves  beyond  our  measure,  as 
though  we  reached  not  unto  you;  "for  we  are  come  as  far 
as  to  you  also  '\n preaching  the  gospel  of  Christ: 

15  Not  boasting  of  things  without  our  measure,  that  is, 'of 
other  men's  labours;  but  having  hope,  when  your  faith  is 
increased,  that  we  shall  be  ||  enlarged  by  you  according  to 
our  rule  abundantly. 

16  To  preach  the  gospel  in  the  regions  beyond  you,  and  not 
to  boast  in  another  man's  ||  line  of  things  made  ready  to  our 
hand. 

17  "But  he  that  glorieth,  let  him  glory  in  the  Lord. 

18  For  'not  he  that  commendeth  himself  is  approved,  but 
"whom  the  Lord  commendeth. 

CHAPTER    XI. 

Paul  declineth  being  chargeable. 

WOULD  to  God  ye  could  bear  with  me  a  little  in  'my 
folly:  and  indeed  ||bear  with  me. 

2  For  I  am  'jealous  over  you  with  godly  jealousy :  for 
°I  have  espoused  you  to  one  husband,  ''that  I  may  present 
you  'as  a  chaste  virgin  to  Christ. 

3  But  I  fear,  lest  by  any  means,  as-^the  serpent  beguiled 
Eve  through  his  snbtilty,  so  your  minds  "should  be  cor- 
rupted from  the  simplicity  that  is  in  Christ. 

4  For  if  he  that  cometh  preacheth  another  Jesus,  whom 
we  have  not  preached,  or  ij  ye  receive  another  spirit,  which 
ye  have  not  received,  or  ''another  gospel,  which  ye  have  not 
accepted,  ye  might  well  bear  ||  with  him. 

5  For  I  suppose  '1  was  not  a  whit  behind  the  very  chief- 
est  apostles. 

6  But  though  */  he  rude  in  speech,  yet  not  'in  knowledge ; 
but  "we  have  been  thoroughly  made  manifest  among  you  in 
all  things. 

7  Have  I  committed  an  offence  "in  abasing  myself  that  ye 
might  be  exalted,  because  I  have  preached  to  you  the  gos- 
pel of  God  freely  ? 

8  I  robbed  other  churches,  taking  wages  of  them,  to  do 
you  service. 

9  And  when  I  was  present  with  you,  and  wanted,  "I  was 
chargeable  to  no  man :  for  that  which  was  lacking  to  me 
""the  brethren  which  came  from  Mac-e-do'ni-a  supplied :  and 
in  all  things  I  have  kept  myself  'from  being  burdensome 
unto  you,  and  so  will  I  keep  myself. 

10  'As  the  truth  of  Christ  is  in  me,  t'uo  man  shall  stop 
me  <if  this  boasting  in  the  regions  of  A-cha'ia. 

1 1  Wherefore  ?   'because   I   love  you  not  ?    God  knoweth. 

12  But  what  I  do,  that  I  will  do,  "that  I  may  cut  off  occa- 
sior  from  them  which  desire  occasion ;  that  wherein  they 
glo  y,  they  may  be  found  even  as  we. 


6  and  being  in  readiness  to  avenge  all  disobedience, 

7  when  your  obedience  shall  be  fulfilled.  'Ye  look  at 
the  things  that  are  before  your  face.  If  any  man 
trusteth  in  himself  that  he  is  Christ's,  let  him  con- 
sider this   again   with   himself,  that,  even  as  he  is 

8  Christ's,  so  also  are  we.  For  though  I  should  glory 
somewhat  abundantly  concerning  our  authority 
(which  the  Lord  gave  for  building  you  up,  and  not 
for  casting  you  down),  I  shall  not  be  put  to  shame : 

9  that  I  may  not  seem  as  if  I  would  terrify  you  by  my 

10  letters.  For,  His  letters,  they  say,  are  weighty  and 
strong;   but   his  bodily  presence   is  weak,  and  his 

11  speech  of  no  account.  Let  such  a  one  reckon  this, 
that,  what  we  are  in  word  by  letters  when  we  are 
absent,  such  are  we  also  in  deed  when  we  are  present 

12  For  we  are  not  bold  ^to  number  or  compare  our- 
selves with  certain  of  them  that  commend  them- 
selves: but  they  themselves,  measuring  themselves 
by  themselves,  and  comparing  themselves  with  them 

13  selves,  are  without  understanding.  But  we  will  not 
glory  beyond  our  measure,  but  according  to  the 
measure  of  the  'province  which  God  apportioned  to 

14  us  as  a  measure,  to  reach  even  unto  you.  For  we 
stretch  not  ourselves  overmuch,  as  though  we 
reached  not  unto  you:    for  we  ^came  even  as  far  as 

15  unto  you  in  the  gospel  of  Christ:  not  glorying  be- 
yond our  measure,  that  is,  in  other  men's  labours; 
but  having  hope  that,  as  your  faith  groweth,  we  shall 
be  magnified  in  you  according  to  our  'province  unto 

16 further  abundance,  so  as  to  preach  the  gospel  even 
unto  the  parts  beyond  you,  and  not  to  glory  in 
another's  'province  in  regard  of  things  ready  to  our 

17  hand.     But   he  that  glorieth,  let  him  glory  in  the 

18  Lord.  For  not  he  that  commendeth  himself  is  ap~ 
proved,  but  whom  the  Lord  commendeth. 

i-i-     Would   that  ye  could   bear  with  me  in  a  little 

2  foolishness :  "nay  indeed  bear  with  me.  For  I  am 
jealous  over  you  with  *a  godly  jealousy:  for  I 
espoused  you  to  one  husband,  that  I  might  present 

3  you  as  a  pure  virgin  to  Christ.  But  I  fear,  lest  by 
any  means,  as  the  serpent  beguiled  Eve  in  his  crafti- 
ness, your  ^minds  should  be  corrupted  from  the 
simplicity  and    the    purity  that    is    toward    Christ. 

4  For  if  he  that  cometh  preacheth  another  Jesus, 
whom  we  did  not  preach,  or  if  ye  receive  a  different 
spirit,  which  ye  did  not  receive,  or  a  different  gospel, 
which  ye  did  not  accept,  ye  do  well  to  bear  with 

5  Aim.     For  I  reckon   that   I   am  not  a  whit  behind 
6 'the  very  chiefest  apostles.     But   though  /  be  rude 

in  speech,  yet  am  I  not  in  knowledge  ;  nay,  in  every- 
thing we   have  made  it  manifest  among  all  men  to 

7  you-ward.  Or  did  I  commit  a  sin  in  abasing  my- 
self that  ye  might  be  exalted,  because  I  preached 

8  to  you  the  gospel  of  God  for  nought?  I  robbed 
other  churches,  taking  wages  of  them  that  I  might 

9 minister  unto  you;  and  when  I  was  present  with 
you  and  was  in  want,  I  was  not  a  burden  on  any 
man ;  for  the  brethren,  when  they  came  from  Mac-e- 
do'ni-a,  supplied  the  measure  of  my  want ;  and  in 
everything  I   kept  myself  from  being  burdensome 

10  unto  you,  and  so  will  I  keep  myself.  As  the  truth 
of  Christ  is  in  me,  no    man  shall  stop  me  of  this 

11  glorying  in   the    regions  of  A-cha'ia.     Wherefore? 

12  because  I  love  you  not  ?  God  knoweth.  But  what 
I  do,  that  I  will  do,  that  I  may  cut  off  "occa- 
sion from  them  which  desire  an  occasion;  that 
wherein  they  glory,  they  may  be  found  even  as  we.

IS  For  such  "are  false  apostles,  "deceitful  workers,  trans- 
forming themselves  into  tne  apostles  of  Christ. 

14  And  no  marvel;  for  Sa'tan  himself  is  transformed  into 
'an  angel  of  light. 

15  Therefore  it  is  no  great  thing  if  his  ministers  also  be 
transformed  as  the  "ministers  of  righteousness ;  'whose  end 
shall  be  according  to  their  works. 

16  'I  say  again,  Let  no  man  think  me  a  fool;  if  otherwise, 
yet  as  a  fool  ||  receive  me,  that  I  may  boast  myself  a  little. 

17  That  which  I  speak,  ''I  speak  it  not  after  the  Lord,  but 
as  it  were  foolishly,  'in  this  confidence  of  boasting. 

18  '^Seeing  that  many  glory  after  the  flesh,  I  will  glory 
also. 

19  For  ye  suffer  fools  gladly,  'seeing  ye  yourselves  are  wise. 

20  For  ye  suffer,  ''if  a  man  bring  you  into  bondage,  if  a 
man  devour  you,  if  a  man  take  of  you,  if  a  man  exalt  him- 
self, if  a  man  smite  you  on  the  face. 

21  I  speak  as  concerning  reproach,  'as  though  we  had 
been  weak.  Howbeit,  ^whereinsoever  any  is  bold,  (I  speak 
foolishly,)  I  am  bold  also. 

22  Are  they  He'brews?  'so  am  1.  Are  they  Is'ra-el-ites  ? 
so  am  I?    Are  they  the  seed  of  A'bra-ham?'    So  am  I. 

23  Are  they  ministers  of  Christ  ?  (I  speak  as  a  fool,)  I  am 
more ;  ""in  labours  more  abundant,  "in  stripes  above  meas- 
ure, in  prisons  more  frequent,  "in  deaths  oft. 

24  Of  the  Jews  five  times  received  I  "forty  stripes  save  one. 

25  Thrice  was  I  'beaten  with  rods,  ''once  was  I  stoned, 
thrice  I  'suffered  shipwreck,  a  night  and  a  day  I  have  been 
in  the  deep; 

26  In  journeyings  often,  in  perils  of  waters,  in  perils  of  rob- 
bers, 'in  perils  by  mine  own  countrymen,  "in  perils  by  the 
heathen,  in  perils  in  the  city,  in  perils  in  the  wilderness,  in 
perils  in  the  sea,  in  perils  among  false  brethren ; 

27  In  weariness  and  painfulness,  "in  watchings  often,  "in 
hunger  and  thirst,  in  fastings  often,  in  cold  and  nakedness. 

28  Besides  those  things  that  are  without,  that  which 
cometh  upon  me  daily,  'the  care  of  all  the  churches. 

29  "Who  is  weak,  and  I  am  not  weak?  who  is  offended, 
and  I  burn  not? 

30  If  I  must  needs  glory,  'I  will  glory  of  the  things  which 
concern  mine  infirmities. 

31  "The  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  ''which 
is  blessed  for  evermore,  knoweth  that  I  lie  not. 

32  "In  Da-mas'cus  the  governor  under  Ar'e-tas  the  king 
kept  the  city  of  the  Dam'as-cenes  with  a  garrison,  desirous 
to  apprehend  me; 

33  And  through  a  window  in  a  basket  was  I  let  down  by 
the  wall,  and  escaped  his  hands. 

.  CHAPTER   XII. 

FauPs  wonderful  revelations. 

IT  is  not  expedient  for  me  doubtless  to  glory,     f  I  will 
come  to  visions  and  revelations  of  the  Lord. 

2  I  knew  a  man  "in  Christ  above  fourteen  years  ago, 
(whether  in  the  body,  I  cannot  tell ;  or  whether  out  of  the 
body,  I  caunot  tell :  God  knoweth ;)  such  a  one  'caught  up 
to  the  third  heaven. 

3  And  I  knew  such  a  man,  (whether  in  the  body,  or  out 
of  the  body  I  can  not  tell :  God  knoweth ;) 

4  How  that  he  was  caught  up  into  "paradise,  and  heard  un- 
s])eakable  words,  which  it  is  not  ||  lawful  for  a  man  to  utter. 

5  Of  such  a  one  will  I  glory :  ''yet  of  myself  I  will  not 
glory,  but  in  my  infirmities. 

6  For  'though  I  would  desire  to  glory,  I  shall  not  be  a 
fool;  for  I  will  say  the  truth:  but  now  I  forbear,  lest  any 
man  should  think  of  me  above  that  which  he  seeth  me  to  h^ 
or  that  he  heareth  of  me. 

7  And  lest  I  should  be  exalted  above  measure  through  the 
abundance  of  the  revelations,  there  was  given  me  a  ■'thorn 


13  For  such  men  are  false  apostles,  deceitful  workers, 

14  fashioning  themselves  into  apostles  of  Christ.  And 
no  marvel;  for  even  Sa'tan  fashioneth  himself  into 

15  an  angel  of  light.  It  is  no  great  thing  therefore  if 
his  ministers  also  fashion  themselves  as  ministers  of 
righteousness ;  whose  end  shall  be  according  to  their 
works. 

16  I  say  again.  Let  no  man  think  me  foolish ;  but  if 
ye  do,  yet  as  foolish  receive  me,  that  I  also  may  glory 

17  a  little.  That  which  I  speak,  I  speak  not  after  the 
Lord,  but  as  in  foolishness,  in  this  confidence  of 

18  glorying.     Seeing  that  many  glory  after  the  flesh, 
191  will  glory  also.     For  ye  bear  with  the  foolish 

20  gladly,  being  wise  yourselves.  For  ye  bear  with  a 
man,  if  he  bringeth  you  into  bondage,  if  he  devour- 
eth  you,  if  he  taketh  you  captive,  if  he  exalteth  him- 

21  self,  if  he  smiteth  you  on  the  face.  I  speak  by  way 
of  disparagement,  as  though  we  had  been  weak.  Yet 
whereinsoever  any  is  bold  (I  speak  in  foolishness),  I 

22am  bold  also.  Are  they  He'brews?  so  am  I,  Are 
they  Is'ra-el-ites?  so  am  I.     Are'  they  the  seed  of 

23  A'bra-ham  ?  so  am  I.  Are  they  ministers  of  Christ? 
(I  speak  as  one  beside  himself)  I  more ;  in  labours 
more  abundantly,  in  prisons  more  abundantly,  in 

24  stripes  above  measure,  in  deaths  oft.     Of  the  Jews 

25  five  times  received  I  forty  stripes  save  one.  Thrice 
was  I  beaten  with  rods,  once  was  I  stoned,  thrice  I 
suffered  shipwreck,  a  night  and  a  day  have  I  been 

26  in  the  deep;  in  journeyings  often,  in  perils  of  rivers, 
in  perils  of  robbers,  in  perils  from  my  'countrymen, 
in  perils  from  the  Gentiles,  in  perils  in  the  city,  in 
perils  in  the  wilderness,  in  perils  in  the  sea,  in  perils 

27 among  false  brethren;  in  labour  and  travail,  in 
watchings  often,  in  hunger  and  thirst,  in  fastings 

28  often,  in  cold  and  nakedness.  ^Beside  those  things 
that  are  without,  there  is  that  which  presseth  upon 

29  me  daily,  anxiety  for  all  the  churches.  Who  is 
weak,  and  I  am  not  weak?  who  is  made  to  stumble, 

30 and  I  burn   not?     If  I  must  needs  glory,  I  will 

31  glory  of  the  things  that  concern  my  weakness.  The 
God  and  Father  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  he  who  is  blessed 

32  'forever  more,  knoweth  that  I  lie  not.  In  Da-mas'- 
cus the  governor  under  Ar'e-tas  the  king  guarded 
the  city  of  the  Dam'as-cenes,  in  order  to  take  me 

33  and  through  a  window  was  I  let  down  in  a  basket  by 
the  wall,  and  escaped  his  hands, 

1^  ^I  must  needs  glory,  though  it  is  not  expedient; 
but  I  will   come  to  visions  and   revelations  of  the 

2  Lord.  I  know  a  man  in  Christ,  fourteen  years  ago 
(whether  in  the  body,  I  know  not;  or  whether  out 
of  the  body,  I   know  not ;   God   knoweth),  such  a 

3  one  caught  up  even  to  the  third  heaven.  And  I 
know  such  a  man  (whether  in  the  body,  or  apart 

4 from  the  body,  I  know  not;  God  knoweth),  how 
that  he  was  caught  up  into  Paradise,  and  heard  un- 
speakable words,  which  it  is  not  lawful  for  a  man  to 

5 utter.  On  behalf  of  such  a  one  will  I  glory:  but 
on  mine  own  behalf  I   will  not  glory,  save  in  my 

6  weaknesses.  For  if  I  should  desire  to  glory,  I  shall 
not  be  foolish ;  for  I  shall  speak  the  truth :  but  I 
forbear,  lest  any  man  should  account  of  me  above 
that  which  he  seeth  me  to  be,  or  heareth  from  me. 

7  And  by  reason  of  the  exceeding  greatness  of  the 
revelations — wherefore  that  I  should  not  be  ex- 
alted  overmuch,  there   was   given   to  me  a  'thorn

in  the  flesh,  'the  messenger  of  Sa'tan  to  buffet  me,  lest  I 
should  be  exalted  above  measure. 

8  'For  this  thing  I  besought  the  Lord  thrice,  that  it  might 
depart  from  me. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me,  My  grace  is  sufficient  for  thee: 
for  my  strength  is  made  perfect  in  weakness.  Most  gladly 
therefore  'will  I  rather  glory  in  my  infirmities,  *that  the 
power  of  Christ  may  rest  upon  me. 

10  Therefore  'I  take  pleasure  in  infirmities,  in  reproaches, 
in  necessities,  in  persecutions,  in  distresses  for  Christ's  sake: 
""for  when  I  am  weak,  then  am  I  strong. 

11  I  am  become  "a  fool  in  glorying;  ye  have  compelled 
me :  for  I  ought  to  have  been  commended  of  you :  for  °in 
nothing  am  I  behind  the  very  chiefest  apostles,  though  ''I 
be  nothing. 

12  'Truly  the  signs  of  an  apostle  were  wrought  among 
you  in  all  patience,  in  signs,  and  wonders,  and  mighty 
deeds. 

13  'For  what  is  it  Avherein  ye  were  inferior  to  other 
churches,  except  it  be  that  'I  myself  was  not  burdensome 
to  you?  forgive  me  'this  wrong. 

14  "Behold,  the  third  time  I  am  ready  to  come  to  you; 
and  I  will  not  be  burdensome  to  you :  for  *I  seek  not  yours, 
but  you :  "for  the  children  ought  not  to  lay  up  for  the 
parents,  but  the  parents  for  the  children. 

15  And  'I  Mill  very  gladly  spend  and  be  spent  "for 
tyou;  though  Hhe  more  abundantly  I  love  you,  the  less  I 
be  loved. 

16  But  be  it  so,  "^I  did  not  burden  you :  nevertheless,  be- 
ing crafty,  I  caught  you  with  guile. 

17  ''Did  I  make  a  gain  of  you  by  any  of  them  whom  I 
sent  unto  you? 

18  'I  desired  Ti'tus,  and  with  him  I  sent  a -^brother.  Did 
Ti'tus  make  a  gain  of  you  ?  walked  we  not  in  the  same 
spirit?  tcalked  we  not  in  the  same  steps? 

19  "Again,  think  ye  that  we  excuse  ourselves  unto  you? 
we  speak  before  God   in   Christ:    'but   we  do  all   things, 

dearly  beloved,  for  your  edifying. 

20  For  I  fear,  lest,  when  I  come,  I  shall  not  find  you  such 
as  I  would,  and  that  *I  shall  be  found  unto  you  such  as  ye 
would  not:  lest  there  be  debates,  envyings,  wraths,  strifes, 
backbitings,  whisperings,  swellings,  tumults : 

21  And  lest,  when  I  come  again,  my  God  'will  humble  me 
among  you,  and  that  I  shall  bewail  many  "which  have 
sinned  already,  and  have  not  repented  of  the  uncleanness 
and  "fornication  and  lasciviousness  which  they  have  com- 
mitted. 

CHAPTER    XIII. 

Obstinate  sinners  threatened. 

THIS  is  "the  third  time   I   am   coming  to  you.     'In  the 
mouth  of  two  or  three  witnesses  shall  every   word  be 
established. 

2  "I  told  you  before,  and  foretell  you,  as  if  I  were  pres- 
ent, the  second  time ;  and  being  absent  now  I  write  to  them 
''which  heretofore  have  sinned,  and  to  all  other,  that,  if  I 
come  again,  'I  will  not  spare: 

3  Since  ye  seek  a  proof  of  Christ  -'^speaking  in  me,  which 
to  you-ward  is  not  weak,  but  is  mighty  "in  you. 

4  ''For  though  he  was  crucified  through  weakness,  yet  *he 
liveth  by  the  power  of  God.  For  *we  also  are  weak  ||in 
him,  but  we  shall  live  with  him  by  the  power  of  God  to- 
ward you. 

5  'Examine  yourselves,  whether  ye  be  in  the  faith  ;■  prove 
your  own  selves.  Know  ye  not  your  own  selves,  ""how  that 
Jesus  Christ  is  in  you,  except  ye  be  "reprobates? 

6  But  I  trust  that  ye  shall  know  that  we  are  not  reprobates. 

7  Now  I  pray  to  God  that  ye  do  no  evil;  not  that  we 
should  appear  approved,  but  that  ye  should  do  that  which 
is  honest,  though  °we  be  as  reprobates. 


in  the  flesh,  a  messenger  of  Sa'tan  to  buffet  me,  that 
8 1  should  not  be  exalted  overmuch.  Concerning  this 
thing  I  besought  the  Lord  thrice,  that  it  might  de- 
9  part  from  me.  And  he  hath  said  unto  me,  My 
grace  is  sufficient  for  thee :  for  my  power  is  made 
perfect  in  weakness.  Most  gladly  therefore  will  I 
rather  glory  in  my  weaknesses,  that  the  strength 

10  of  Christ  may  'rest  upon  me.  Wherefore  I  take 
pleasure  in  weaknesses,  in  injuries,  in  necessities,  in 
persecutions,  in  distresses,  for  Christ's  sake :  for  when 
I  am  weak,  then  am  I  strong. 

11  I  am  become  foolish:  ye  compelled  nie;  for  I 
ought  to  have  been  commended  of  you:  for  in 
nothing  was   I  behind  Hhe   very  chiefest  apostles, 

12  though  I  am  nothing.  Truly  the  signs  of  an  apos- 
tle  were   wrought  among  you  in   all  patience,  by 

13  signs  and  wonders  and  'mighty  works.  For  what  is 
there  wherein  ye  were  made  inferior  to  the  rest  of 
the  churches,  except  it  be  that  I  myself  was  not  a 
burden  to  you  ?  forgive  me  this  wrong. 

14  Behold,  this  is  the  third  time  I  am  ready  to  come  to 
you ;  and  I  will  not  be  a  burden  to  you :  for  I  seek 
not  yours,  but  you:  for  the  children  ought  not  to 
lay  up  for  the  parents,  but  the  parents  for  the  chil- 

15dren.  And  I  will  most  gladly  spend  and  be  ^spent 
for  your  souls.     If  I  love  you  more  abundantly,  am 

161  loved  the  less?  But  be  it  so,  I  did  not  myself 
burden  you ;  but,  being  crafty,  I  caught  you   with 

17  guile.     Did  I  take  advantage  of  you  by  any  one  of 

18 them  whom  I  have  sent  unto  you?  I  exhorted 
Ti'tus,  and  I  sent  the  brother  with  him.  Did  Ti'tus 
take  any  advantage  of  you?  walked  we  not  by  the 
same  Spirit  ?  walked  we  not  in  the  same  steps  ? 

19  °Ye  think  all  this  time  that  we  are  excusing  our- 
selves unto  you.  In  the  sight  of  God  speak  we  in 
Christ.     But  all  things,  beloved,  are  for  your  edify- 

20ing.  For  I  fear,  lest  by  any  means,  when  I  come,  I 
should  find  you  not  such  as  I  would,  and  should 
myself  be  found  of  you  such  as  ye  would  not;  lest 
by  any  means  there  should  be  strife,  jealousy,  wraths, 
factions,    backbitings,    Avhisperings,    swellings,    'tu- 

21mults;    lest,  when   I  come  again,  my   God  should 
humble  me  before  you,  and    I    should   mourn   for 
many  of  them  that  have  sinned  heretofore,  and  re 
pented  not  of  the  uncleanness  and   fornication  and 
lasciviousness  which  they  committed. 

i^  This  is  the  third  time  I  am  coming  to  you.  At 
the  mouth  of  two   witnesses   or   three   shall  every 

2  word  be  established.  I  have  said  ''beforehand,  and 
I  do  say  'beforehand,  'as  when  I  was  present  the 
second  time,  so  now,  being  absent,  to  them  that  have 
sinned  heretofore,  and  to  all  the  rest,  that,  if  I  come 

3  again,  I  will  not  spare ;  seeing  that  ye  seek  a  proof 
of  Christ  that  speaketh  in  me ;  who  to  you-ward  is 

4  not  weak,  but  is  powerful  in  you :  for  he  was  cruci- 
fied through  weakness,  yet  he  liveth  through  the 
power  of  God.  For  we  also  are  weak  'in  him,  but 
we  shall  live  with  him  through  the  power  of  God 

5  toward  you.  Try  your  own  selves,  whether  ye  be 
in  the  faith ;  prove  your  own  selves.  Or  know  ye 
not  as  to  your  own  selves,  that  Jesus  Christ  is  in 

6  you?  unless  indeed  ye  be  reprobate.     But  I  hope 

7  that  ye  shall  know  that  we  are  not  reprobate.  Now 
we  pray  to  God  that  ye  do  no  evil;  not  that  we 
may  appear  approved,  but  that  ye  may  do  that 
which  is  honourable,  '"though  we  be  as  reprobate.

8  For  we  can  do  nothing  against  the  truth,  but  for  the  truth. 

9  For  we  are  glad,  'when  we  are  weak,  and  ye  are  strong: 
and  this  also  we  wish,  ''even  your  perfection. 

10  ''Therefore  I  write  these  things  being  absent,  lest 
being  present  'I  should  use  sharpness,  'according  to  the 
power  which  the  Lord  hath  given  me  to  edification,  and 
not  to  destruction. 

11  Finally,  brethren,  farewell.  Be  perfect,  be  of  good 
comfort,  "be  of  one  mind,  live  in  peace ;  and  the  God  of 
love  'and  peace  shall  be  with  you.

14  'The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  the  love  of 
God,  and  "the  communion  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  be  with  you

H  The  second  epistle  to  the  Corinthians  was  written  from  Philippi, 
a  city  of  Macedonia,  by  Titus  and  Lucas. 


8  For  we  can  do  nothing  against  the  truth,  but  for  the 

9  truth.     For  we  rejoice,  when  we  are  weak,  and  ye 
are  strong :  this  we  also  pray  for,  even  your  perfects 

lOing.  For  this  cause  I  write  these  things  while 
absent,  that  I  may  not  when  present  deal  sharply, 
according  to  the  authority  which  the  Lord  gave  me 
for  building  up,  and  not  for  casting  down. 

11  Finally,  brethren,  'farewell.  Be  perfected;  be 
comforted;  be  of  the  same  mind;  live  in  peace:  and

THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  TO  THE 

GALATIANS. 


CHAPTER    I. 

•  0/  their  leaving  the  gospel. 

PAUL,  an  apostle,  ("not  of  men,  neither  by  man,  but  'by 
Jesus  Christ,  and  God  the  Father,  ''who  raised  him  from 
the  dead;) 

2  And  all  the  brethren  ''which  are  with  me,  'unto  the 
churches  of  Ga-la'ti-a : 

3  ^Grace  be  to  you,  and  peace,  from  God  the  Father,  and 
from  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

4  'Who  gave  himself  for  our  sins,  that  he  might  deliver 
us  *from  this  present  evil  world,  according  to  the  will  of 
God  and  our  Father: 

5  To  whom  be  glory  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

6  I  marvel  that  ye  are  so  soon  removed  'from  him  that 
called  you  into  the  grace  of  Christ  unto  another  gospel : 

7  *Which  is  not  another ;  but  there  be  some  'that  trouble 
you,  and  would  pervert  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

8  But  though  ""we,  or  an  angel  from  heaven,  preach  any 
other  gospel  unto  you  than  that  which  we  have  preached 
unto  you,  let  him  be  accursed. 

9  As  we  said  before,  so  say  I  now  again,  If  any  man  preach 
any  other  gospel  unto  you  "than  that  ye  have  received,  let 
him  be  accursed. 

10  For  "do  I  now  "persuade  men,  or  God?  or  'do  I  seek 
to  please  men  ?  for  if  I  yet  pleased  men,  I  should  not  be  the 
servant  of  Christ. 

11  'But  I  certify  you,  brethren,  that  the  gospel  which  was 
preached  of  me  is  not  after  man. 

12  For  'I  neither  received  it  of  man,  neither  was  I  taught 
it,  but  'by  the  revelation  of  Jesus  Christ. 

13  For  ye  have  heard  of  my  conversation  in  time  past  in 
the  Jews'  religion,  how  that  "beyond  measure  I  persecuted 
the  church  of  God,  and  'wa.sted  it : 

14  And  profited  in  the  Jews'  religion  above  many  my 
fequals  in  mine  own  nation,  "being  more  exceedingly  zeal- 
ous 'of  the  traditions  of  my  fathers. 

15  But  when  it  pleased  God,  "who  separated  me  from  my 
mother's  womb,  and  called  me  by  his  grace, 

16  'To  reveal  his  Son  in  me,  that  'I  might  preach  him 
among  the  heathen  ;  immediately  I  conferred  not  with  ''flesh 
and  blood : 

17  Neither  went  I  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  them  which  were 
apcstles  before  me :  but  I  went  into  A-ra'bi-a,  and  returned 
again  unto  Da-mas'cus. 


THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  TO  THE 

GALATIANS. 


y  Paul,  an  apostle  (not  from  men,  neither  through 
'man,  but  through  Jesus  Christ,  and  God  the  Father, 

2  who  raised  him  from  the  dead),  and  all  the  brethren 
which  are  with  me,  unto  the  churches  of  Ga-la'ti-a 

3  Grace  to  you  and  peace  ^from  God  the  Father,  and 

4  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who  gave  himself  for  oi 
sins,  that  he  might   deliver   us   out  of  this  present 
evil  'world,  according  to   the  will  of  our  God  and 

5 Father:   to  whom  be  the  glory  *for  ever  and  ever. 

Amen. 
6      I  marvel  that  ye  are  so  quickly  removing   from 

him  that  called  you  in   the  grace  of  Christ  unto  a 
7 different  gospel ;  which  is  not  another  gospel:  only 

there  are  some  that  trouble  you,  and  would  pervert 

8  the  gospel  of  Christ.  But  though  we,  or  an  angel 
from  heaven,  should  preach  'unto  you  any  gospel 
'other  than  that  which  we    preached  unto  you,  let 

9  him  be  anathema.  As  we  have  said  before,  so  say 
I  now  again,  If  any  man  preacheth  unto  you  any 
gospel  other  than  that  which  ye    received,  let  him 

10  be  anathema.  For  am  I  now  persuading  men,  or 
God?  or  am  I  seeking  to  please  men?  if  I  were 
still  pleasing  men,  I  should  not  be  a  'servant  of 
Christ. 

11  For  I  make  known  to  you,  brethren,  as  touching 
the  gospel  which  was  preached  by  me,  that  it  is  not 

12  after  man.  For  neither  did  I  receive  it  from  'man, 
nor  was  I  taught  it,  but  it  came  to  me  through  reve- 

131ation  of  Jesus  Christ.  For  ye  have  heard  of  my 
manner  of  life  in  time  past  in  the  Jews'  religion,  how 
that  beyond   measure   I    persecuted  the   church  of 

14 God  and  make  havock  of  it:  and  I  advanced  in  the 
Jews'  religion  beyond  many  of  mine  own  age 
'among    my  countrymen,  being    more    exceedingly 

15  zealous  for  the  traditions  of  my  fathers.  But  when 
it  was  the  good  pleasure  of  God,  who  separated  me, 
even  from  my  mother's  womb,  and  called  me  through 

16  his  grace,  to  reveal  his  Son  in  me,  that  I  might 
preach  him  among  the  Gentiles;  immediately  I  con- 

17ferred  not  with  flesh  and  blood:  neither  went  I  up 
to  Je-ru'sa-lem  to  them  which  were  apostles  before 
me :  but  I  went  away  into  A-ra'bi-a ;  and  again  I 
returned  unto  Da-mas'cus.

"privately  to  them  which  were  of  reputation,  lest  by  any 
means  ''I  should  run,  or  had  run,  in  vain. 

3  But  neither  Ti'tus,  who  was  with  me,  being  a  Greek,  was 
compelled  to  be  circumcised: 

4  And  that  because  of  ''false  brethren  unawares  brought 
in,  who  came  in  privily  to  spy  out  our  "liberty  which  we 
have  in  Christ  Jesus,  ■'that  they  might  bring  us  into  bondage : 

6  To  whom  we  gave  place  by  subjection,  no,  not  for  an 
hour;  that  "the  truth  of  the  gospel  might  continue  with  you. 

6  But  of  those  'who  seemed  to  be  somewhat,  whatsoever 
they  were,  it  maketh  no  matter  to  me:  *God  accepteth  no 
man's  person :  for  they  who  seemed  to  be  somewhat  *in  con- 
ference added  nothing  to  me : 

7  But  contrariwise,  'when  they  saw  that  the  gospel  of  the 
uncircumcision  "was  committed  unto  me,  as  the  gospel  of  the 
circumcision  was  unto  Pe'ter; 

8  (For  he  that  wrought  effectually  in  Pe'ter  to  the  apostle- 
ship  of  the  circumcision,  "the  same  was  "mighty  in  me  to- 
ward the  Gentiles;) 

9  And  when  James,  Ce'phas,  and  John,  who  seemed  to 
be  "pillars,  perceived  'the  grace  that  was  given  unto  me, 
they  gave  to  me  and  Bar'na-bas  the  right  hands  of  fellow- 
ship; that  we  should  go  unto  the  heathen,  and  they  unto  the 
circumcision. 

10  Only  they  would  that  we  should  remember  the  poor; 
•■the  same  which  I  also  was  forward  to  do. 

11  'But  when  Pe'ter  was  come  to  An'ti-och,  I  withstood 
him  to  the  face,  because  he  was  to  be  blamed. 

12  For  before  that  certain  came  from  James,  'he  did  eat  with 
the  Gentiles:  but  when  they  were  come,  he  withdrew  and 
separated  himself,  fearingthem  which  were  of  thecircumcision. 

13  And  the  other  Jews  dissembled  likewise  with  him ;  in- 
somuch that  Bar'na-bas  also  was  carried  away  with  their  dis- 
simulation. 

14  But  when  I  saw  that  they  walked  not  uprightly  accord- 
ing to  "the  truth  of  the  gospel,  I  said  unto  Pe'ter  ^'before 
them  all,  "If  thou,  beiug  a  Jew,  livest  after  the  manner  of 
Gentiles,  and  not  as  do  the  Jews,  why  compellest  thou  the 
Gentiles  to  live  as  do  the  Jews? 

15  'We  who  are  Jews  by  nature,  and  not  "sinners  of  the 
Gentiles, 

16  ''Knowing  that  a  man  is  not  justified  by  the  works  of 
the  law,  but  'by  the  faith  of  Jesus  Christ,  even  we  have  be- 
lieved in  Jesus  Christ,  that  we  might  be  justified  by  the  faith 
of  Christ,  and  not  by  the  works  of  the  law :  for  ''by  the 
works  of  the  law  shall  no  flesh  be  justified. 

17  But  if,  while  we  seek  to  be  justified  by  Christ,  we  our- 
selves also  are  found  'sinner.s,  is  therefore  Christ  the  minister 
of  sin  ?     God  forbid. 

18  For  if  I  build  again  the  things  which  I  destroyed,  I 
make  myself  a  transgressor. 


18  Then  after  three  years  I  went  up  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  to 
'visit  Ce'phas,   and   tarried  with  him  fifteen  days 

19  But   other  of  the  apostles  saw  I  none,  ^save  James 

20  the    Lord's   brother.      Now    touching    the    thin 
which  I  write  unto  you,  behold,  before  God,  I  lie 

21  not.     Then  I  came  into  the  regions  of  Syr'i-a  and 

22  Ci-li'ci-a.     And  I  was  still  unknown  by  face  unto  the 

23  churches  of  Ju-dse'a  which  were  in  Christ :  but  they 
only  heard  say.  He  that  once  persecuted  us  now 
preacheth  the  faith  of  which  he  once  made  havock; 

24  and  they  glorified  God  in  me. 

^  Then  'after  the  space  of  fourteen  years  I  went  up 
again  to  Je-ru'sa-lem  with  Bar'na-ba.s,taking  Ti'tus  also 

2  with  me.  And  I  went  up  by  revelation  ;  and  I  laid 
before  them  the  gospel  which  I  preach  among  the 
Gentiles,  but  privately  before  them  who  *were  of 
repute,  lest  by  any  means  I  should  be  running,  or 

3  had  run,  in  vain.  But  not  even  Ti'tus  who  was  with 
me,  being  a  Greek,  was  compelled  to  be  circumcised  : 

4  'and  that  because  of  the  false  brethren  privily  brought 
in,  who  came  in  privily  to  spy  out  our  liberty  which 
we  have  in  Christ  Jesus,  that  they  might  bring  us 

5  into  bondage :  to  whom  we  gave  place  in  the  way 
of  subjection,  no,  not  for  an  hour;  that  the  truth  of 

6  the  gospel  might  continue  with  you.  But  from 
those  who  *were  reputed  to  be  somewhat  (*whatso- 
ever  they  were,  it  maketh  no  matter  to  me :  God 
accepteth  not  man's  person) — they,  I  say,  who  were 

7  of  repute  imparted  nothing  to  me  :  but  contrariwise, 
when  they  saw  that  I  had  been  intrusted  with  the 
gospel  of  the  uncircumcision,  even  as  Pe'ter  with  the 

8  gospel  of  the  circumcision  (for  he  that  wrought  for 
Pe'ter    unto    the    apostleship    of  the    circumcision 

9  wrought  for  me  also  unto  the  Gentiles) ;  and  when 
they  perceived  the  grace  that  was  given  unto  me 
James  and  Ce'phas  and  John,  they  who  ^were  re- 
puted to  be  pillars,  gave  to  me  and  Bar'na-bas  the 
right   hands   of  fellowship,  that  we  should  go  unto 

lOthe  Gentiles,  and  they  unto  the  circumcision;  only 
they  would  that  we  should  remember  the  poor ; 
which  very  thing  I  was  also  zealous  to  do. 

11  But  when   Ce'phas  came  to  An'ti-och,  I  resisted 

12  him  to  the  face,  because  he  stood  condemned.  For 
before  that  certain  came  from  James,  he  did  eat 
with  the  Gentiles  :  but  when  they  came,  he  drew 
back  and  separated  himself,  fearing  them  that  were 

13  of  the  circumcision.  And  the  rest  of  the  Jews  dis- 
sembled likewise  with  him ;  insomuch  that  even 
Bar'na-bas  was  carried  away  with  their  dissimulation. 

14  But  when  I  saw  that  they  walked  not  uprightly  ac- 
cording to  the  truth  of  the  gospel,  I  said  unto  Ce'phas 
before  them  all,  If  thou,  being  a  Jew,  livest  as  do  the 
Gentiles,  and  not  as  do  the  Jews,  how  compellest 

15 thou  the  Gentiles  to  live  as  do  the  Jews?  We  be- 
ing Jews  by  nature,  and  not  sinners  of  the  Gentiles, 

16  yet  knowing  that  a  man  is  not  justified  by  'the 
works  of  the  law,  ^save  through  faith  in  Jesus 
Christ,  even  we  believed  on  Christ  Jesus,  that  we 
might  be  justified  by  faith  in  Christ,  and  not  by 
the  works  of  the  law :  because  by  the  works  of  the 

17  lav  shall  uo  flesh  be  justified.  But  if,  while  we 
sought  to  be  justified  in  Christ,  we  ourselves  also 
were    found   sinners,  is   Christ  a  minister   of  sin  ? 

18  God  forbid.  For  if  I  build  up  again  those  things 
which   I   destroyed,  I  prove  myself  a  transgressor.

19  For  I  •'^through  the  law  "am  dead  to  the  law,  that  I 
might  *live  unto  God. 

20  I  am  'crucified  with  Christ:  nevertheless  I  live;  yet 
not  I,  but  Christ  liveth  in  me :  and  the  life  which  I  now 
live  in  the  flesh  *I  live  by  the  faith  of  the  Son  of  God,  'who 
loved  me,  and  gave  himself  for  me. 

21  I  do  not  frustrate  the  grace  of  God  :  for  "if  righteous- 
ness come  by  the  law,  then  Christ  is  dead  in  vain. 

CHAPTER    III. 

Believers  are  justified  by  faith. 

0  FOOLISH  Ga-la'ti-ans,  "who  hath  bewitched  you,  that  ye 
should  not  obey  'the  truth,  before   whose  eyes  Jesus 
Christ  hath  been  evidently  set  forth,  crucified  among  you  ? 

2  This  only  would  I  learn  of  you,  Received  ye  "the  Spirit 
by  the  works  of  the  law,  ''or  by  the  hearing  of  faith  ? 

3  Are  ye  so  foolish?  "having  begun  in  the  Spirit,  are  ye 
now  made  perfect  by  the  •''flesh  ? 

4  'Have  ye  suflered  1|  so  many  things  in  vain  ?  \Ht  be  yet 
in  vain. 

5  He  therefore  *that  ministereth  to  you  the  Spirit,  and 
worketh  miracles  among  you,  doeth  he  it  by  the  works  of 
the  law,  or  by  the  hearing  of  faith  ? 

6  Even  as  'A'bra-ham  believed  God,  and  it  was  ]|  accounted 
to  him  far  righteousness. 

7  Know  ye  therefore,  that  *they  which  are  of  faith,  the 
same  are  the  children  of  A'bra-ham. 

8  And  'the  Scripture;  foreseeing  that  God  would  justify 
the  heathen  through  faith,  preached  before  the  gospel  unto 
A'bra-ham,  saying,  "In  thee  shall  all  nations  be  blessed. 

9  So  then  they  which  be  of  faith  are  blessed  with  faithful 
A'bra-ham. 

1 0  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works  of  the  law,  are  under 
the  curse :  for  it  is  written,  "Cursed  is  every  one  that  con- 
tinueth  not  in  all  things  which  are  written  in  the  book  of 
the  law  to  do  them. 

11  But  "that  no  man  is  justified  by  the  law  in  the  sight  of 
God,  it  is  evident:  for,  "The  just  shall  live  by  faith. 

12  And  'the  law  is  not  of  faith:  but,  ''The  man  that  doeth 
them  shall  live  in  them. 

13  'Christ  hath  redeemed  iis  from  the  curse  of  the  law, 
being  made  a  curse  for  us:  for  it  is  written, 'Cursed is  every 
one  that  hangeth  on  a  tree: 

14  "That  the  blessing  of  A'bra-ham  might  come  on  the 
Gentiles  through  Jesus  Christ;  that  we  might  receive  ""the 
promise  of  the  Spirit  through  faith. 

15  Brethren,  I  speak  after  the  manner  of  men;  "Though 
it  be  but  a  man's  ||  covenant,  yet  if  it  be  confirmed,  no  man 
disanuulleth,  or  addeth  thereto. 

16  Now  'to  A'bra-ham  and  his  seed  were  the  promises 
made.  He  saith  not,  And  to  seeds,  as  of  many ;  but  as  of 
one.  And  to  thy  seed,  which  is  "Christ. 

17  And  this  I  say,  TAa^  the  covenant,  that  was  confirmed 
before  of  God  in  Christ,  the  law,  Hvhich  was  four  hundred 
and  thirty  years  after,  cannot  disannul,  "that  it  should  make 
the  promise  of  none  effect. 

18  For  if  ''the  inheritance  be  of  the  law,  'it  is  no  more  of 
promise :  but  God  gave  it  to  A'bra-ham  by  promise. 

19  Wherefore  then  serveth  the  law?  •'^It  was  added  because 
of  transgressions,  till  "the  seed  should  come  to  whom  the 
promise  was  made ;  and  it  was  *ordained  by  angels  in  the 
hand"  'of  a  mediator. 

20  Now  a  mediator  is  not  a  mediator  of  one,  *but  God  is  one. 

21  7s  the  law  then  against  the  promises  of  God  ?  God 
forbid:  'for  if  there  had  been  a  law  given  which  could 
have  given  life,  verily  righteousness  should  have  been  by 
the  law. 

22  But  "the  Scripture  hath  concluded  "all  under  sin,  "that 
the  promise  by  faith  of  Jesus  Christ  might  be  given  to  them 
that  believe. 


19  For  I  through  Hhe  law  died  unto  'the  law,  that  I 

20  might  live  unto  God.  I  have  been  crucified  with 
Christ;  ^yet  I  live ;  and  yet  no  longer  I,  but  Christ 
liveth  in  me :  and  that  life  which  I  now  live  in  the 
flesh  I  live  in  faith,  the  faith  which  is  in  the  Son  of 

21  God,  who  loved  me,  and  gave  himself  up  for  me.  I 
do  not  make  void  the  grace  of  God :  for  if  righteous- 
ness is  through  'the  law,  then  Christ  died  for 
nought. 

V  O  foolish  Ga-la'ti-ans,  who  did  bewitch  you,  before 
whose  eyes  Jesus  Christ  was  openly  set  forth  cruci- 

2fied?  This  only  would  I  learn  from  you.  Received 
ye  the  Spirit  by  hhe  works  of  the  law,  or  by  the 

3*hearing  of  faith  ?  Are  ye  so  foolish  ?  having  begun 
in  the  Spirit,  *are  ye    now   perfected  in  the  flesh  ? 

4  Did  ye  suffer  so  many  things  in  vaiu?  if  it  be  indeed 

5  in  vain.  He  therefore  that  supplieth  to  you  the  Spirit, 
and  worketh  'miracles  'among  you,  doeth  he  it  by 
Hhe  works  of  the  law,  or  by  the  'hearing  of  faith? 

6  Even  as  A'bra-ham  believed  God,  and  it  was  reckoned 

7  unto  him  for  righteousness.  ^Know  therefore  that 
they  which  be  of  faith,  the  same  are  sons  of  A'bra-ham. 

8  And  the  scripture,  foreseeing  that  God  'would  justify 
the  '"Gentiles  by  faith,  preached  the  gospel  before- 
hand unto  A'bra-ham,  saying,  In  thee  shall  all  the 

9  nations  be  blessed.     So  then  they  which  be  of  faith 

10  are  blessed  with  the  faithful  A'bra-ham.  For  as  many 
as  are  of  'the  works  of  the  law  are  under  a  curse : 
for  it  is  written,  Cursed  is  every  one  which  continueth 
not  in  all  things  that  are  written  in  the  book  of  the 

11  law,  to  do  them.  Now  that  no  man  is  justified  "by 
the  law  in  the  sight  of  God,  is  evident :  for,  The 

12 righteous  shall  live  by  faith;  and  the  law  is  not  of 
faith ;  but,  He  that  doeth  them  shall  live  in  them. 

13  Christ  redeemed  us  from  the  curse  of  the  law,  having 
become  a  curse  for  us :  for  it  is  written,  Cursed  is 

14 every  one  that  hangeth  on  a  tree:  that  upon  the 
Gentiles  might  come  the  blessing  of  A'bra-ham  in 
Christ  Jesus;  that  we  might  receive  the  promise  of 
the  Spirit  through  faith. 

15  Brethren,  I  speak  after  the  manner  of  men :  Though 
it  be  but  a  man's  '^covenant,  yet  when  it  hath  been 
confirmed,  no  one  maketh  it  void,  or  addeth  thereto. 

16  Now  to  A'bra-ham  were  the  promises  spoken,  and  to 
his  seed.  He  saith  not,  And  to  seeds,  as  of  many ; 
but  as  of  one,   And  to   thy  seed,  which  is  Christ. 

17 Now  this  I  say;  A  '^covenant  confirmed  beforehand 
by  God,  the  law,  which  came  four  hundred  and  thirty 
years  after,  doth  not  disannul,  .so   as  to  make  the 

18  promise  of  none  effect.  For  if  the  inheritance  is  of 
the  law,  it   is  no  more  of  promise :   but  God  hath 

19  granted  it  to  A'bra-ham  by  promise.  What  then  is 
the  law?  It  was  added  because  of  transgressions, 
till  the  seed  should  come  to  whom  the  promise  hath 
been  made;  and  it  was  ordained  through  angels  by 

20  the  hand  of  a  mediator.     Now  a  mediator  is  not  a 

21  mediator  of  one ;  but  God  is  one.  Is  the  law  then 
against  the  promises  of  God  ?  God  forbid :  for  if 
there  had  been  a  law  given  which  could  make  alive, 
verily  righteousness    would  have   been  of  the  law. 

22Howbeit  the  .scripture  hath  shut  up  all  things  under 
sin,  that  the  promise  by  faith  in  Jesus  Christ  might 
be  given  to  them  that  believe.

23  But  before  Mth  came,  we  were  kept  under  the  law, 
shut  up  unto  the  faith  which  should  afterwards  be  revealed. 

24  Wherefore  "the  law  was  our  schoolmaster  to  bring  us 
unto  Christ,  "that  we  might  be  justified  by  faith. 

25  But  after  that  faith  is  come,  we  are  jio  longer  under  a 
schoolmaster. 

26  For  ye  'are  all  the  children  of  God  by  faith  in  Christ  Jesus. 

27  For  'as  many  of  you  as  have  been  baptized  into  Christ 
'have  put  on  Christ. 

28  "There  is  neitlier  Jew  nor  Greek,  there  is  neither  bond 
nor  free,  there  is  neither  male  nor  female :  for  ye  are  all  ""one 
in  Christ  Jesus. 

29  And  "if  ye  be  Christ's,  then  are  ye  A'bra-ham's  seed,  and 
'heirs  according  to  the  promise. 

CHAPTER   IV. 

Christ  freeth  us  from  the  law. 

'VTOW  I  say,  That  the  heir,  as  long  as  he  is  a  child,  dif- 
i-^    fereth  nothing  from  a  servant,  though  he  be  lord  of  all; 

2  But  is  under  tutors  and  governors  until  the  time  ap- 
pointed of  the  father. 

3  Even  so  we,  when  we  were  children,  "were  in  bondage 
under  the  ||  elements  of  the  world: 

4  But  'when  the  fulness  of  the  time  was  come,  God  sent 
forth  his  Son,  ''made  ''of  a  woman,  'made  under  the  law, 

5  -^To  redeem  them  that  were  under  the  law,  "that  we 
might  receive  the  adoption  of  sons. 

6  And  because  ye  are  sons,  God  hath  sent  forth  Hhe  Spirit 
of  his  Son  into  your  hearts,  crying,  Abba,  Father. 

7  Wherefore  thou  art  no  more  a  servant,  but  a  son ;  'and 
if  a  son,  then  an  heir  of  God  through  Christ. 

8  Howbeit  then,  *when  ye  knew  not  God,  'ye  did  service 
unto  them  which  by  nature  are  no  gods. 

9  But  now,  ""after  that  ye  have  known  God,  or  rather  are 
known  of  God,  "how  turn  ye  ||  again  to  "the  weak  and 
beggarly  ||  elements,  whereunto  ye  desire  again  to  be  in 
bondage  ? 

10  "Ye  observe  days,  and  months,  and  times,  and  years. 

11  I  am  afraid  of  you,  'lest  I  have  bestowed  upon  you 
labour  in  vain. 

12  Brethren,  I  beseech  you,  be  as  I  am;  for  I  am  as  ye 
are:  'ye  have  not  injured  me  at  all. 

18  Ye  know  how  'through  infirmity  of  the  flesh  I  preached 
the  gospel  unto  you  'at  the  first. 

14  And  my  temptation  which  was  in  my  flesh  ye  de- 
spised not,  nor  rejected;  but  received  me  "as  an  angel  of 
God,  'even  as  Christ  Jesus. 

15  II  Where  is  then  the  blessedness  ye  spake  of?  for  I  bear 
you  record,  that,  if  it  had  been  possible,  ye  would  have 
plucked  out  your  own  eyes,  and- have  given  them  to  me. 

16  Am  I  therefore  become  your  enemy  "because  I  tell  you 
the  truth? 

17  They  'zealously  affect  you,  but  not  well;  yea,  they 
would  exclude  ||you,  that  ye  might  affect  them. 

18  But  it  is  good  to  be  zealously  affected  always  in  a  good 
thing,  and  not  only  when  I  am  present  with  you. 

19  "My  little  children,  of  whom  I  travail  in  birth  again 
until  Christ  be  formed  in  you, 

20  I  desire  to  be  present  with  you  now,  and  to  change  my 
voice;  for  ||  I  stand  in  doubt  of  you. 

21  Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be  under  the  law,  do  ye  not 
hear  the  law? 

22  For  it  is  written,  that  A'bra-ham  had  two  sons;  'the 
one  by  a  bondmaid,  "the  other  by  a  free  woman. 

23  But  he  who  was  of  the  bondwoman  ''was  born  after 
the  flesh ;  "but  he  of  the  free  woman  toas  by  promise. 

24  Which  things  are  m  allegory :  for  these  are  the  two 
II  covenants;  the  one  from  the  mount  t-''Si'nai,  which  gen- 
dereth  to  bondage,  which  is  A'gar. 

25  For  this  A'gar  is  mount  Si'nai  iu  A-ra'bi-a,and  ||answereth 


23  But  before  4aith  came,  we  were  kept  in  ward  under 
the  law,  shut  up  unto  the  faith  which  should  after 

24  wards  be  revealed.  So  that  the  law  hath  been  our 
tutor  to  bring  us  unto  Christ,  that  we  might  be  justi- 

25  fied  by  faith.     But  now  that  faith  is  come,  we  are  no 

26  longer  under  a  tutor.     For  ye  are  all  sons  of  God, 

27  through  faith,  in  Christ  Jesus.     For  as  many  of  you 

28  as  were  baptized  into  Christ  did  put  on  Christ.  There 
can  be  neither  Jew  nor  Greek,  there  can  be  neither 
bond  nor  free,  there  can  be  no  male  and  female :  for 

29  ye  all  are  one  man  in  Christ  Jesus.  And  if  ye  are 
Christ's,  then  are  ye  A'bra-ham's  seed,  heirs  according 
to  promise. 

^  But  I  say  that  so  long  as  the  heir  is  a  child,  he 
differeth  nothing  from  a  bondservant,  though  he  is 

2  lord  of  all;  but  is  under  guardians  and  stewards  until 

3  the  term  appointed  of  the  father.  So  we  also,  when 
we  were  children,  were  held  in   bondage  under  the 

42rudiments  of  the  world:  but  when  the  fulness  of 
the  time  came,  God  sent  forth  his  Son,   born  of  a 

5  woman,  born  under  the  law,  that  he  might  redeem 
them  which  were  under  the  law,  that  we  might  re- 

6  ceive  the  adoption  of  sons.  And  because  ye  are  sons, 
God  sent  forth  the  Spirit  of  his  Son  into  our  hearts, 

7  crying,  Abba,  Father.  So  that  thou  art  no  longer 
a  bondservant,  but  a  son ;  and  if  a  son,  then  an  heir 
through  God. 

8  Howbeit  at  that  time,  not  knowing  God,  ye  were 
in  bondage  to  them  which  by  nature  are  no  gods 

9  but  now  that  ye  have  come  to  know  God,  or  rather 
to  be  known  of  God,  how  turn  ye  back  again  to  the 
weak  and  beggarly  ^rudiments,  whereunto  ye   desire 

10  to  be  in  bondage  over  again  ?     Ye  observe  days,  and 

11  months,  and  seasons,  and  years.  I  am  afraid  of  you, 
lest  by  any  means  I  have  bestowed  labour  upon  you 
in  vain. 

12  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  be  as  I  am,  for  I  am  as 
13 ye  are.     Ye  did  me  no  wrong:  but   ye  know  that 

because  of  an  infirmity  of  the  flesh  I  preached  the 
14 gospel  unto  you  the  ^first  time:  and  that  which  was 
a  temptation  to  you  in  my  flesh  ye  despised  not,  nor 
^rejected ;  but  ye  received  me  as  an  angel  of  God, 
15et!e?i  as  Christ  Jesus. .   Where  then  is  that  gratulation 
'of  yourselves?  for  I  bear  you  witness,  that,  if  pos- 
sible, ye  would  have  plucked  out  your  eyes  and  given 
16  them  to  me.      So  then  am  I  become  your   enemy, 
17 because  I  ^tell  you  the  truth?     They  zealously  seek 
you  in  no  good  way;  nay,  they  desire  to  shut  you 

18  out,  that  ye  may  seek  them.  But  it  is  good  to  be 
zealously  sought  in  a  good  matter  at  all  times,  and 

19  not  only  when  I  am  present  with  you.  My  little 
children,  of  whom  I  am  again  in  travail  until  Christ 

20  be  formed  in  you,  yea,  I  could  wish  to  be  present 
with  you  now,  and  to  change  my  voice;  for  I  am 
perplexed  about  you. 

21  Tell    me,    ye    that   desire  to  be  under  the   law, 

22  do  ye  not  hear  the  law?  For  it  is  written,  that 
A'bra-ham  had  two  sons,  one  by  the  handmaid,  and 

23  one  by  the  freewoman.  Howbeit  the  son  by  the 
handmaid  is  born  after  the  flesh ;    but  the   son   by 

24  the  freewoman  is  born  through  promise.  Which 
things  contain  an  allegory :  for  these  women  are 
two  covenants;  one  from  mount  Si'nai,  bearing. chil- 

25dren  unto  bondage,  which  is  Ha'gar.  'Now  this 
Ha'gar  is  mount  Si'nai  in  A-ra'bi-a,  and  answereth

to  Je-ru'sa-lem  which  now  is,  and  is  in  bondage  with  her 
children. 

26  But  "Je-ni'sa-lem  which  is  above  is  free,  which  is  the 
mother  of  us  all. 

27  For  it  is  written,  *Rejoice,  thou  barren  that  bearest  not; 
break  forth  and  cry,  thou  that  travailest  not :  for  the  desolate 
hath  many  more  children  than  she  which  hath  a  husband. 

28  Now  we,  brethren, as  Isaac  was,  are'thechildren  of  promise. 

29  But  as  then  *he  that  was  born  after  the  flesh  persecuted 
him  that  was  born  after  the  Spirit,  'even  so  it  is  now. 

30  Nevertheless  what  saith  ""the  Scripture?  "Cast  out 
the  bondwoman  and  her  son  :  for  "the  son  of  the  bond- 
woman shall  not  be  heir  with  the  son  of  the  free  woman. 

31  So  then,  brethren,  we  are  not  children  of  the  bond- 


woman, "but  of  the  free. 


CHAPTER    V. 

The  liberty  of  the  gospel, 

STAND  fast  therefore  in  "the  liberty  wherewith  Christ 
hath  made  us  free,  and  be  not  entangled  again  hvith  the 
yoke  of  bondage. 

2  Behold,  I  Paul  say  unto  you,  that  'if  ye  be  circumcised, 
Christ  shall  profit  you  nothing. 

3  For  I  testify  again  to  every  man  that  is  circumcised, 
''that  he  is  a  debtor  to  do  the  whole  law. 

4  'Christ  is  become  of  no  eifect  unto  you,  whosoever  of 
you  are  justified  by  the  law;  •'^ye  are  fallen  from  grace. 

5  For  we  through  the  Spirit  "wait  for  the  hope  of  right- 
eousness by  faith. 

6  For  *in  Jesus  Christ  neither  circumcision  availeth  any 
thing,  nor  uncircumcision ;  but  'faith  which  worketh  by  love. 

7  Ye  *did  run  well;  '||  who  did  hinder  you  that  ye  should 
not  obey  the  truth  ? 

8  This  persuasion  cometh  not  of  him  "that  calleth  you. 

9  "A  little  leaven  leaveneth  the  whole  lump. 

10  "I  have  confidence  in  you  through  the  Lord,  that  ye 
will  be  none  otherwise  minded :  but  "he  that  troubleth  you 
'shall  bear  his  judgment,  whosoever  he  be. 

11  ''And  I,  brethren,  if  I  yet  preach  circumcision,  'why  do  I 
yet  suffer  persecution  ?  then  is  'the  oifence  of  the  cross  ceased. 

12  "I  would  they  were  even  cut  oif ''which  trouble  you. 

13  For,  brethren,  ye  have  been  called  unto  liberty;  only 
"use  not  liberty  for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh,  but  'by  love 
serve  one  another. 

14  For  "all  the  law  is  fulfilled  in  one  word,  even  in  this, 
'Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 

15  But  if  ye  bite  and  devour  one  another,  take  heed  that 
ye  be  not  consumed  one  of  another. 

16  This  I  say  then,  <^Walk  in  the  Spirit,  and  ||  ve  shall  not 
fulfil  the  lu.st  of  the  flesh. 

17  For  ''the  flesh  lusteth  against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit 
against  the  flesh :  and  these  are  contrary  the  one  to  the 
other;  'so  that  ye  cannot  do  the  things  that  ye  would. 

18  But  ■'if  ye  be  led  by  the  Spirit,  ye  are  not  under  the  law. 

19  Now  "the  works  of  the  flesh  are  manifest,  which  are 
these,  Adultery,  fornication,  uncleanness,  lasciviousness, 

20  Idolatry,  witchcraft,  hatred,  variance,  emulations,  wrath, 
strife,  seditions,  heresies, 

21  Envying.s,  murders,  drunkenness,  revellings,  and  such 
like :  of  the  which  I  tell  you  before, as  I  have  also  told  you  in 
time  past,  that  'they  which  do  such  things  shall  not  inherit 
the  kingdom  of  God. 

22  But  'the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  love,  joy,  peace,  longsuf- 
fering,  ^gentleness,  'goodness,  "'faith, 

23  Meekness,  temperance :  "against  such  there  is  no  law. 

24  And  they  that  are  Christ's  "have  crucified  the  flesh, 
with  the  II  affections  and  lusts. 

25  "If  we  live  in  the  Sj)irit,  let  us  also  walk  in  the  Spirit. 

26  'Let  us  not  be  desirous  of  vainglory,  provoking  one 
another,  envying  one  another. 


to  the  Je-ru'sa-lem  that  now  is :  for  she  is  in  bondage 

26  with  her  children.   But  the  Je-ru'sa-lem  that  is  above 

27  is  free,  which  is  our  mother.     For  it  is  written, 

Rejoice,  thou  barren  that  bearest  not; 
Break  forth  and  cry,  thou  that  travailest  not : 
For  more  are  the  children  of  the  desolate  than  of 
her  which  hath  the  husband. 

28  Now  'we,  brethren,  as   I'saac  was,  are  children  of 

29  promise.  But  as  then  he  that  was  born  after  the 
flesh  persecuted  him  that  was  born  after  the  Spirit, 

30  even  so  it  is  now.  Howbeit  what  saith  the  scrip- 
ture? Cast  out  the  handmaid  and  her  son:  for  the 
son  of  the  handmaid  shall  not  inherit  with  the  son  of 

31  the  freewoman.  Wherefore,  brethren,  we  are  not 
^  children  of  a  handmaid,  but  of  the  freewoman. 
V  ^With  freedom  did  Christ  set  us  free :  stand  fast 

therefore,  and  be  not  entangled  again  in  a  yoke  of 
bondage. 

2  Behold,  I  Paul  say  unto  you,  that,  if  ye  receive 

3  circumcision,  Christ  will  profit  you  nothing.     Yea, 
I  testify  again  to  every  man  that  receiveth  circum- 

4cisiou,  that  he  is  a  debtor  to  do  the  whole  law.     Ye 

are  'severed  from  Christ,  ye  who  would  be  justified 
5 by  the  law;  ye  are  fallen  away  from  grace.     For  we 

through  the  Spirit  by  faith  wait  for  the  hope  of  right- 
6eousness.     For  in  Christ  Jesus  neither  circumcision 

availeth  anything,  nor  uncircumcision;  but  faith 
7hvorking  through   love.     Y'^e  were    running  well; 

who  did  hinder  you  that  ye  should  not  obey  the 

8  truth  ?     This  persuasion  came  not  of  him  that  calleth 

9  you.     A   little   leaven   leaveneth   the  whole   lump. 
101  have  confidence  to  you-ward  in  the  Lord,  that  ye 

will  be  none  otherwise  minded :  but  he  that  troub- 
leth you  shall  bear  his  judgement,  whosoever  he  be. 

11  But  I,  brethren,  if  I  still  preach  circumcision,  why 
am  I  still  persecuted?  then  hath  the  stumblingblock 

12  of  the  cross  been  done  away.  I  would  that  they 
which  unsettle  you  would  even  'cut  themselves  off. 

13  For  ye,  brethren,  were  called  for  freedom;  only 
use  not  your  freedom  for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh, 

14  but  through  love  be  servants  one  to  another.  For 
the  whole  law  is  fulfilled  in  one  word,  even  in  this; 

15  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself.  But  if 
ye  bite  and  devour  one  another,  take  heed  that  ye 
be  not  consumed  one  of  another. 

16  But  I  say,  Walk  by  the  Spirit,  and  ye  shall  not 

17  fulfil  the  lust  of  the  flesh.  For  the  flesh  lusteth 
against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit  against  the  flesh ; 
for  these  are  contrary  the  one  to  the  other;  that  ye 

18  may  not  do  the  things  that  ye  would.     But  if  ye 

19  are  led  by  the  Spirit,  ye  are  not  under  the  law.  Now 
the  works  of  the  flesh  are  manifest,  which  are  these, 

20  fornication,  uncleanness,  lasciviousness,  idolatry,  sor- 
cery,   enmities,    strife,   jealousies,    wraths,    factions, 

21  divisions,  ^heresies,  envyings,  drunkenness,  revel- 
lings,  and  such  like :  of  the  which  I  'forewarn  you, 
even  as  I  did  'forewarn  you,  that  they  which  practise 
such  things  shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God. 

22  But  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  love,  joy,  i)eace,  long- 

23  suffering,  kindness,  goodness,  faithfulness,  meekness, 
24*temperance:    again.st  such    there  is  no   law.     And 

they  that  are  of  Christ  Jesus  have  crucified  the  flesh 
with  the  passions  and  the  .'usts  thereof. 

25  If  we  live  by  the  Spirit,  by  the  Spirit  let  us  also 

26  walk.  Let  us  not  be  vainglorious,  provoking  one 
another,  envying  one  another.

To  dear  one  anoiher^s  burdens. 

BEETHREN,  °||if  a  man  be  overtaken  in  a  fault,  ye 
''which  are  spiritual  restore  such  a  one  "in  the  spirit  of 
meekness;  considering  thyself/  lest  thou  also  be  tempted. 
2'Bearyeoneanother'sburdens,andsofulfil-'thelawofChrist. 

3  For  "if  a  man  think  himself  to  be  something,  when  *he 
is  nothing,  he  deceiveth  himself. 

4  But  'let  every  man  prove  his  own  work,  and  then  shall 
he  have  rejoicing  in  himself  alone,  and  *not  in  another. 

5  'For  every  man  shall  bear  his  own  burden. 

6  ""Let  him  that  is  taught  in  the  word  communicate  unto 
him  that  teacheth  in  all  good  things. 

7  "Be  not  deceived;  "God  is  not  mocked:  for ''whatsoever 
a  man  soweth,  that  shall  he  also  reap. 

8  'For  he  that  soweth  to  his  flesh  shall  of  the  flesh  reap 
corruption ;  but  he  that  soweth  to  the  Spirit  shall  of  the 
Spirit  reap  life  everlasting. 

9  And  'let  us  not  be  weary  in  well  doing :  for  in  due  sea- 
son we  shall  reap,  "if  we  faint  not. 

10  'As  we  have  therefore  opportunity,  "let  us  do  good  unto 
all  men,  especially  unto  them  who  are  of ''the  household  of  faith. 

1 1  Ye  see  how  large  a  letter  I  have  written  unto  you  with 
mine  own  hand. 

12  As  many  as  desire  to  make  a  fair  shew  in  the  flesh, 
"they  constrain  you  to  be  circumcised ;  'only  lest  they  should 
"suffer  persecution  for  the  cross  of  Christ. 

13  For  neither  they  themselves  who  are  circumcised  keep 
the  law ;  but  desire  to  have  you  circumcised,  that  they  may 
glory  in  your  flesh. 

14  ''But  God  forbid  that  I  should  glory,  save  in  the  cross 
of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  ||by  whom  the  world  is  '^crucified 
unto  me,  and  I  unto  the  world. 

15  For  ''in  Christ  Jesus  neither  circumcision  availeth  any 
thing,  nor  uncircumcision,  but  'a  new  creature. 

16  •''And  as  many  as  walk  "according  to  this  rule,  peace  be 
on  them,  and  mercy,  and  upon  *the  Is'ra-el  of  God. 

17  From  henceforth  let  no  man  trouble  me:  for  'I  bear 
in  my  body  the  marks  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

18  Brethren,  *the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with 
your  spirit.     Amen. 

\  Unto  the  Galatians,  written  from  Rome. 


0  Brethren,  even  if  a  man  be  overtaken  in  any  tres- 
pass, ye  which  are  spiritual,  restore  such  a  one  in  a 
spirit  of  meekness ;  looking  to  thyself,  lest  thou  also 

2  be  tempted.     Bear  ye  one  another's  burdens,  and  so 

3  fulfil  the  law  of  Christ.  For  if  a  man  thinketh  him- 
self to  be  something,  when  he  is  nothing,  he  deceiv- 

4  eth  himself.  But  let  each  man  prove  his  own  work, 
and  then  shall  he  have  his  glorying  in  regard  of 

5  himself  alone,  and  not  of  'his  neighbour.  For  each 
man  shall  bear  his  own  ^burden. 

6  But  let  him  that  is  taught  in  the  word  communi- 
7cate  unto  him  that  teacheth  in  all  good  things.     Be 

not  deceived ;  God  is  not  mocked :  for  whatsoever 

8  a  man  soweth,  that  shall  he  also  reap.  For  he  that 
soweth  unto  his  own  flesh  shall  of  the  flesh  reap 
corruption ;  but  he  that  soweth  unto  the  Spirit  shall 

9  of  the  Spirit  reap  eternal  life.  And  let  us  not  be 
weary  in  well-doing :  for  in  due  season  we  shall  reap, 

10  if  we  faint  not.  So  then,  as  we  have  opportunity, 
let  us  work  that  which  is  good  toward  all  men,  and 
especially  toward  them  that  are  of  the  household  of 
faith. 

11  See  with  how  large  letters  I  'have  written  unto 

12  you  with  mine  own  hand.  As  many  as  desire  to 
make  a  fair  show  in  the  flesh,  they  compel  you  to  be 
circumcised ;  only  that  they  may  not  be  persecuted 

13*for  the  cross  of  Christ.  For  not  even  they  who 
'receive  circumcision  do  themselves  keep  ^the  law; 
but  they  desire  to  have  you  circumcised,  that  they 

14  may  glory  in  your  flesh.  But  far  be  it  from  me  to 
glory,  save  in  the  cross  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
through  'which  the  world  hath  been  crucified  unto 

15  me,  and  I  unto  the  world.  For  neither  is  circum- 
cision anything,  nor  uncircumcision,  but  a  new  'crea 

16ture.  And  as  many  as  shall  walk  by  this  rule,  peace 
be  upon  them,  and  mercy,  and  upon  the  Is'ra-el  of  God, 

17  From  henceforth  let  no  man  trouble  me:  for  I 
bear  branded  on  my  body  the  marks  of  Jesus. 

18  The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  your 
spirit,  brethren.     Amen.

of  yourselves :  ''it  is  the  gift  of  God : 

9  'Not  of  works,  lest  any  man  should  boast. 

10  For  we  are  his  'workmanship,  created  in  Christ  Jesus 
uuto  good  works,  'which  God  hath  before  ||  ordained  that 
we  should  walk  in  them. 

11  Wherefore  "remember,  that  ye  being  in  time  past  Gen- 
tiles in  the  flesh,  who  are  called  Uncircumcision  by  that 
which  is  called  "the  Circumcision  in  the  flesh  made  by  hands; 

12  "That  at  that  time  ye  were\vithout  Christ, 'being  aliens 


8  'which  he  made  to  abound  toward  us  in  all  wisdom 

9  and  prudence,  having  made  known  unto  us  the  mys- 
tery of  his  will,  according  to  his  good  pleasure  which 

10  he  purposed  in  him  unto  a  dispensation  of  the  ful- 
ness of  the  Himes,  to  sum  up  all  things  in  Christ,  the 
things  'in  the  heavens,  and  the  things  upon  the  earth  ; 

11  in  him, /say,  in  whom  also  we  were  made  a  heritage, 
having  been  foreordained  according  to  the  purpose  of 
him  who  worketh  all  things  after  the  counsel  of  his 

12  will ;  to  the  end  that  we  should  be  unto  the  praise  of 
13 his  glory,  we  who  *had  before  hoped   in  Christ:  in 

whom  ye  also,  having  heard  the  word  of  the  truth, 
the  gospel  of  your  salvation, — in  whom,  having  also 
believed,  ye  were  sealed  with  the   Holy   Spirit  of 

14  promise,  which  is  an  earnest  of  our  inheritance,  unto 
the  redemption  of  God's  own  possession,  unto  the 
praise  of  his  glory. 

15  For  this  cause  I  also,  having  heard  of  the  faith  in 
the  Lord  Jesus  which  is  "among  you,  and  'which  ye 

16  shew  toward  all  the  saints,  cease  not  to  give  thanks 
for    you,  making  mention   of  you  in  my   prayers; 

17  that  the  God  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  the  Father 
of  glory,  may  give  unto  you  a  spirit  of  wisdom  and 

18 revelation  in  the  knowledge  of  him;  having  the 
eyes  of  your  heart  enlightened,  that  ye  may  know 
what  is  the  hope  of  his  calling,  what  the  riches  of 

19  the  glory  of  his  inheritance  in  the  saints,  and  what 
the  exceeding  greatness  of  his  power  to  us-ward 
who    believe,  according   to    that    working    of    the 

20  strength  of  his  might  which  he  wrought  in  Chri.st, 
when   he  raised  him  from  the  dead,  and  made  him 

21  to  sit  at  his  right  hand  in  the  heavenly  places,  far 
above  all  rule,  and   authority,  and  power,  and  do 
minion,  and  every  name  that  is  named,  not  only  in 

22  this  'world,  but  also  in  that  which  is  to  come :  and 
he  put  all  things  in  subjection  under  his  feet,  and 
gave  him  to  be  head  over  all  things  to  the  church 

23  which  is  his  body,  the  fulness  of  him  that  fiUeth  all 
in  all. 

^  And  you  did  he  quicken,  when  ye  were  dead  through 
2your  trespasses  and  sins,  wherein  aforetime  ye 
walked  according  to  the  'course  of  this  world,  ac- 
cording to  the  prince  of  the  power  of  the  air,  of  the 
spirit  that  now  worketh  in  the  sons  of  disobedience ; 
3 among  whom  we  also  all  once  lived  in  the  lusts  of 
our  flesh,  doing  the  desires  of  the  flesh  and  of  the 
'mind,  and  were  by  nature  children  of  wrath,  even 

4  as  the  rest : — but  God,  being  rich  in  mercy,  for  his 

5  great  love  wherewith  he  loved  us,  even  when  we 
were  dead  through  our  trespasses,  quickened  us  to- 
gether '"with  Christ  (by  grace  have  ye  been  saved), 

6  and  raised  us  up  Avith  him,  and  made  us  to  sit  with 
7 him  in  the  heavenly  places,  in  Christ  Jesus:  that  in 

the  ages  to  come  he  might  shew  the  exceeding 
riches  of  his  grace  in  kindness  toward  us  in  Christ 

8  Jesus :  for  by  grace  have  ye  been  saved  through 
faith  ;  and  that  not  of  yourselves :   it  is  the  gift  of 

9 God:    not   of  works,  that    no    man    should    glory. 

10  For  we  are  his  workman.ship,  created  in  Christ 
Jesus  for  good  works,  which  God  afore  prepared 
that  we  should  walk  in  them. 

11  Wherefore  remember,  that  aforetime  ye,  the 
Gentiles  in  the  flesh,  who  are  called  Uncir- 
cumcision   by    that     which    is    called    Circumcis- 

12 ion,  in  the  flesh,  made  by  hands;  that  ye 
were  at  that  time  separate   from   Christ,  alienated

CHAPTER    III. 

Salvation  for  the  Gentiles. 

FOR  this  cause  I  Paul,  "the  prisoner  of  Jesus  Christ  ""for 
you  Gentiles, 

2  If  ye  have  heard  of  "the  dispensation  of  the  grace  of 
God  ''which  is  given  me  to  you-ward  : 

3  'How  that  ^  by  revelation  "he  made  known  unto  me  the 
mystery;  (''as  I  wrote  ||  afore  in  few  words; 

4  Whereby,  when  ye  read,  ye  may  understand  my  knowl- 
edge 'in  the  mystery  of  Christ,) 

5  *\Vhich  in  other  ages  was  not  made  known  unto  the  sons 
of  men,  'as  it  is  now  revealed  unto  his  holy  apostles  and 
prophets  by  the  Spirit; 

6  That  the  Gentiles  "should  be  fellow  heirs,  and  "of  the  same 
body,  and  "partakers  of  his  promise  in  Christ  by  the  gospel : 

7  ''Wherefore  I  was  made  a  minister,  'according  to  the  gift 
of  the  grace  of  God  given  unto  me  by  ""the  effectual  work- 
ing of  his  power. 

8  Unto  me,  'who  am  less  than  the  least  of  all  saints,  is  this 
grace  given,  that  'I  should  preach  among  the  Gentiles  "the 
un.searchable  riches  of  Christ; 

9  And  to  make  all  men  see  what  is  the  fellowship  of  "the 
mystery,  "which  from  the  beginning  of  the  world  hath  been 
hid  in  God,  "who  created  all  things  by  Jesus  Christ : 

10  "To  the  intent  that  now  'unto  the  principalities  and 
powers  in  heavenly  p/aces  "might  be  known  by  the  church 
the  manifold  wisdora  of  God, 

11  ''According  to  the  eternal  purpose  which  he  purposed 
in  Chri.st  Jesus  our  Lord : 

12  In  whom  we  have  boldness  and  'access  •'with  confidence 
by  the  faith  of  him. 

13  "Wherefore  I  desire  that  ye  faint  not  at  my  tribulations 
''for  you,  'which  is  your  glory. 

14  For  this  cause  I  bow  my  knees  unto  the  Father  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

15  Of  whom  *the  whole  family  in  heavenand  earth  is  named, 

16  That  he  would  grant  you,  'according  to  the  riches  of 
his  glory,  ™to  be  strengthened  with  might  by-  his  ^irit  in 
"the  inner  man ; 

17  "That  Christ  may  dwell  in  your  hearts  by  faith;  that 
ye,  'being  rooted  and  grounded  in  love, 

18  'May  be  able  to  comprehend  with  all  saints  'what is  the 
breadth,  and  length,  and  depth,  and  height ; 

19  And    to    know    the    love    of   Christ,    which    passeth 


from  the  commonwealth  of  Is'ra-el,  and  strangers  from 
the  covenants  of  the  promiise,  having  no  hope  and 

13  without  God  in  the  world.  But  now  in  Christ  Jesus 
ye  that  once  were  far  off  are  made  nigh  in  the  blood 

14  of  Christ.     For  he  is  our  peace,  who  made  both  one, 

15  and  brake  down  the  middle  wall  of  partition,  having 
abolished  in  his  flesh  the  enmity,  even  the  law  of  com- 
mandments con<aj?iecZ  in  ordinances;  that  he  might 
create  in  himself  of  the  twain  one  new  man,  so  making 

16 peace;  and  might  reconcile  them  both  in  one  body 
unto  God  through  the  cross,  having  slain  the  enmity 

17 thereby:  and  he  came  and  'preached  peace  to  you 
that  were  far  off,  and  peace  to  them  that  were  nigh : 

18  for  through  him  we  both  have   our  access  in  one 

19  Spirit  unto  the  Father.  So  then  ye  are  no  more 
strangers  and  sojourners,  but  ye  are  fellow-citizens 

20  with  the  saints,  and  of  the  household  of  God,  being 
built  upon  the  foundation  of  the  apostles  and 
prophets,  Christ  Jesus  himself  being  the  chief  cor- 

21  ner  stone ;  in  whom  ^each  several  building,  fitly 
framed  together,  groweth  into  a  holy  'temple  in  the 

22  Lord ;  in  whom  ye  also  are  builded  together  *for  a 
habitation  of  God  in  the  Spirit. 

V     For  this  cause  I  Paul,  the  prisoner  of  Christ  Jesus 

2  in  behalf  of  you  Gentiles, — if  so  be  that  ye  have 
heard   of  the  'dispensation  of  that  grace    of  God 

3  which  was  given  me  to  you-ward ;  how  that  by  rev- 
elation was  made  known  unto  me  the  mystery,  as  I 

4  wrote  afore  in  few  words,  whereby,  when  ye  read, 
ye  can  perceive  my  understanding  in  the  mystery  of 

5 Christ;  which  in  other  generations  was  not  made 
known  unto  the  sons  of  men,  as  it  hath  now  been 
revealed  unto  his  holy  apostles  and  prophets  in  the 

6  Spirit;  to  wit,  that  the  Gentiles  are  fellow-heirs,  and 
fellow-members  of  the  body,  and  fellow-partakers  of 
the   promise  in  Christ    Jesus   through  the    gospel, 

7  whereof  I  was  made  a  minister,  according  to  the 
gift  of  that  grace  of  God  which  was  given  me  ac- 

8  cording  to  the  working  of  his  power.  Unto  me 
who  am  less  than  the  least  of  all  saints,  was  this 
grace  given,  to  preach  unto  the  Gentiles  the  un- 

9 searchable  riches  of  Christ;  and  to  'make  all  men 

see  what  is  the  'dispensation   of  the  mystery  which 

from  all  ages  hath  been  hid  in  God  who  created  all 

lOthings;  to  the  intent  that  now  unto  the  principalities 

and    the  powers  in  the   heavenly  places  might  be 

made  known  through  the  church  the  manifold  wis- 

11  dom    of  God,    according   to   the    'eternal   purpose 

12 which  he  purposed  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord:   in 

whom  we  have  boldness  and  access  in  confidence 

13  through  'our  faith  in  him.  Wherefore  I  ask.  that 
'ye  faint  not  at  my  tribulations  for  you,  which  "are 
your  glory. 

14  For  thi§  cause  I  bow  my  knees  unto  the  Father, 

15  from  whom  every  "family  in  heaven  and   on  earth 

16  is  named,  that  he  would  grant  you,  according  to  the 
riches  of  his  glory,  that  ye  may  be  strengthened 
with  |K)wer   through  his  Spirit  in  the  inward  man ; 

17  that  Christ  may  dwell  in  your  hearts  through  faith  ; 
to  the  end  that  ye,  being  rooted  and  grounded  in 

18  love,  may  be  strong  to  apprehend  with  all  the  saints 
what   is    the   breadth   and    length  and    height  and 

19  depth,  and  to  know  the  love  of  Christ  which  passeth

CHAPTER   IV. 

Exhortation  to  unity. 

I  THEREFORE,  "the  prisoner  |1  of  the  Lord,  beseech  you 
that  ye  'walk  worthy  of  the  vocation  wherewith  ye  are  called, 

2  "With  all  lowliness  and  meekness,  with  longsuffering, 
forbearing  one  another  in  love ; 

3  Endeavouring  to  keep  the  unity  of  the  Spirit  ''in  the  bond 
of  peace. 

4  'There  is  one  body,  and  'one  Spirit,  even  as  ye  are  called 
in  one  "hope  of  your  calling; 

5  *One  Lord,  'one  faith,  *one  baptism, 

6  'One  God  and  Father  of  all,  who  is  above  all,  and 
"through  all,  and  in  you  all. 

7  But  "unto  every  one  of  us  is  given  grace  according  to 
the  measure  of  the  gift  of  Christ. 

8  Wherefore  he  saith,  "When  he  ascended  up  on  high,  "he 
led  II  captivity  captive,  and  gave  gifts  unto  men. 

9  ('Now  that  he  ascended,  what  is  it  but  that  he  also  de- 
scended first  into  the  lower  parts  of  the  earth  ? 

10  He  that  descended  is  the  same  also  ''that  ascended  up, 
far  above  all  heavens,  'that  he  might  ||  fill  all  things.) 

11  'And  he  gave  some,  apostles;  and  some, prophets ;  and 
some,  "evangelists ;  and  some,  "'pastors  and  "teachers ; 

12  'For  the  perfecting  of  the  saints,  for  the  work  of  the 
ministry,  "for  the  edifying  of  'the  body  of  Christ : 

13  Till  we  all  come  ||in  the  unity  of  the  faith, 'and  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  Son  of  God,  unto  ''a  perfect  man,  unto  the 
measure  of  the  ||  stature  of  the  fulness  of  Christ : 

14  That  we  henceforth  be  no  more  'children,  ■'tossed  to 
and  fro,  and  carried  about  with  every  "wind  of  doctrine, 
by  the  sleight  of  men,  and  cunning  craftiness,  ''whereby 
they  lie  in  wait  to  deceive : 

15  But  'II  speaking  the  truth  in  love,  *may  grow  up  into 
him  in  all  things, 'which  is  the  head,  even  Christ: 

16  "From  whom  the  whole  body  fitly  joined  together  and 
compacted  by  that  which  every  joint  supplieth,  according  to 
the  eflPectual  working  in  the  measure  of  every  part,  maketh 
increase  of  the  body  unto  the  edifying  of  itself  in  love. 

17  This  I  say  therefore,  and  testify  in  the  Lord,  that  "ye 
henceforth  walk  not  as  other  Gentiles  walk,  "in  the  vanity 
of  their  mind, 

18  "Having  the  understanding  darkened,  'being  alienated 
from  the  life  of  God  through  the  ignorance  that  is  in  them, 
because  of  the  ''I | blindness  of  their  heart: 

19  'Who  being  past  feeling  'have  given  themselves  over 
unto  lasciviousness,  to  work  all  uncleanness  with  greediness. 

20  But  ye  have  not  so  learned  Christ; 

21  "If  so  be  that  ye  have  heard  him,  and  have  been  taught 
by  him,  as  the  truth  is  in  Jesus : 

22  That  ye  'put  off  concerning  "the  former  conversation 
"the  old  man,  which  is  corrupt  according  to  the  deceitful 
lusts ; 

23  And  "be  renewed  in  the  spirit  of  your  mind  ; 

24  And  that  ye  'put  on  the  new  man,  which  after  God  "is 
created  in  righteousness  and  ||  true  holiness. 

25  Wherefore  putting  away  lying,  ''speak  every  man  truth 
with  his  neighbour :  for  "we  are  members  one  of  another. 

26  ■'^Be  ye  angry,  and  sin  not :  let  not  the  sun  go  down 
upon  your  wrath : 

27  "Neither  give  place  to  the  devil. 

28  Let  him  that  stole  steal  no  more:  but  rather  Met  him 


knowledge,  that  ye  may  be  filled  unto  all  the  fulness 
of  God. 

20  Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  do  exceeding 
abundantly  above  all  that  we  ask  or  think,  accord- 

21  ing  to  the  power  that  worketh  in  us,  unto  him  be 
the  glory  in  the  church  and  in  Christ  Jesus  unto  'all 
generations  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

■^      I  therefore,  the  prisoner  in  the  Lord,  beseech  you 

to  walk  worthily  of  the  calling  wherewith  ye  were 
2  called,  with  all  lowliness  and  meekness,  with  long- 
3 suffering,  forbearing  one   another   in  love;   giving 

diligence  to  keep  the  unity  of  the  Spirit  in  the  bond 
4  of  peace.     There  is  one  body,  and  one  Spirit,  even 

as  also  ye  were  called  in  one  hope  of  your  calling; 
J  one  Lord,    one    faith,   one   baptism,  one    God  and 

Father  of  all,  who  is  over  all,  and  through  all,  and 

7  in  all.     But  unto  each  one  of  us  was  the  grace  given 
according    to    the    measure  of   the   gift  of  Christ. 

8  Wherefore  he  saith. 

When  he  ascended  on  high,  he  led  captivity  cap- 
tive. 
And  gave  gifts  unto  men. 

9  (Now  this,  He  ascended,  what  is  it  but  that  he  also 

10  descended  ^into  the  lower  parts  of  the  earth  ?  He 
that  descended  is  the  same  also  that  ascended  far 
above  all  the  heavens,  that  he  might  fill  all  things.) 

11  And  he  gave  some  to  be  apostles;  and  some,  proph- 
ets ;   and  some,  evangelists ;  and  some,  pastors  and 

12 teachers;  for  the  perfecting  of  the  saints,  unto  the 
work  of  ministering,  unto  the  building  up  of  the  body 

13.of  Christ :  till  we  all  attain  unto  the  unity  of  the 
faith,  and  of  the  knowledge  of  the  Son  of  God,  unto 
a  fullgrown  man,  unto  the  measure  of  the  stature  of 

14 the  fulness  of  Christ:  that  we  may  be  no  longer 
children,  tossed  to  and  fro  and  carried  about  with 
every  wind  of  doctrine,  by  the  sleight  of  men,  in 

15  craftiness,  after  the  wiles  of  error;  but 'speaking  truth 
in  love,  may  grow  up  in  all  things  into  him,  which 

16 is  the  head,  even  Christ;  from  whom  all  the  body 
fitly  framed  and  knit  together  Hhrough  that  which 
every  joint  supplieth,  according  to  the  working  in 
due  measure  of  each  several  part,  maketh  the  in- 
crease of  the  body  unto  the  building  up  of  itself  in 
love. 

17  This  I  say  therefore,  and  testify  in  the  Lord,  that 
ye  no  longer  walk  as  the  Gentiles  also  walk,  in  the 

18  vanity  of  their  mind,  being  darkened  in  their  under- 
standing, alienated  from  the  life  of  God  because  of 
the  ignorance  that  is  in  them,  because  of  the  harden- 

19 ing  of  their  heart;  who  being  past  feeling  gave 
themselves   up  to   lasciviousness,  Ho  work  all  un- 

20  cleanness  with  "greediness.     But  ye  did  not  so  learn 

21  Christ ;  if  so  be  that  ye  heard  him,  and  were  taught 

22  in  him,  even  as  truth  is  in  Jesus :  that  ye  put  away, 
as  concerning  your  former  manner  of  life,  the  old 
man,  which  waxeth  corrupt  after  the  lusts  of  deceit; 

23  and  that  ye  be  renewed  in  the  spirit  of  your  mind, 

24  and  put  on  the  new  man,  'which  after  God  hath 
been  created  in  righteousness  and  holiness  of  truth. 

25  Wherefore,  putting  away  falsehood,  speak  ye 
truth   each   one   with   his   neighbour:    for   we   are 

26  members  one  of  another.  Be  ye  angry,  and 
sin    not :    let    not    the    sun    go    down    upon  your 

a'wrath:  neither  give  place  to  the  devil.  Let  him 
that    stole    steal    no    more:    but    rather    let    him

Exhortation  agaitist  divers  sins. 

BE  "ye  therefore  followers  of  God,  as  dear  children  ; 
2  And  ''walk  in  love,  'as  Christ  also  hath  loved  us,  and 
hath  given  himself  for  us  an  offering  and  a  sacrifice  to  God 
''for  a  sweetsmelling  savour. 

3  But  'fornication,  and  all  uncleanness,  or  covetousness, 
•'let  it  not  be  once  named  among  you,  as  becometh  saints; 

4  'Neither  filthiness,  nor  foolish  talking,  nor  jesting,  ''which 
are  not  convenient :  but  rather  giving  of  thanks. 

5  For  this  ye  know,  that  'no  whoremonger,  nor  unclean 
person,  nor  covetous  man,  *who  is  an  idolater,  'hath  any 
inheritance  in  the  kingdom  of  Chri.st  and  of  God. 

6  "'Let  no  man  deceive  you  with  vain  words:  for-because 
of  these  things  "cometh  the  wrath  of  God  "upon  the  chil- 
dren of  ||  disobedience. 

7  Be  not  ye  therefore  partakers  with  them. 

8  "For  ye  were  sometime  darkness,  but  now  'are  ye  light 
in  the  Lord:  walk  as  ''children  of  light; 

9  (For  "the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  in  all  goodness  and  right- 
eousness and  truth;) 

10  'Proving  what  is  acceptable  unto  the  Lord. 

11  And  "have  no  fellowship  with  "'the  unfruitful  works  of 
darkness,  but  rather  "reprove  them. 

12  'For  it  is  a  shame  even  to  speak  of  those  things  which 
are  done  of  them  in  secret. 

13  But  "all  things  that  are  ||  reproved  are  made  manifest 
by  the  light :  for  whatsoever  doth  make  manifest  is  light. 

14  Wherefore  ||he  saith,  ''Awake,  thou  that  sleepest,  and 
'arise  from  the  dead,  and  Christ  shall  give  thee  light. 

15  ''See  then  that  ye  walk  circumspectly,  not  as  fools,  but 
as  wise, 

16  "Redeeming  the  time,  'because  the  days  are  evil. 

17  "Wherefore  be  ye  not  unwise,  but  'understanding  'what 
the  will  of  the  Lord  is. 

18  And  'be  not  drunk  with  wine,  wherein  is  excess;  but 
be  filled  with  the  Spirit; 

19  Speaking  to  yourselves  'in  psalms  and  hymns  and 
spiritual  songs,  singing  and  making  melody  in  your  heart  to 
the  Lord; 

20  ""Giving  thanks  always  for  all  things  unto  God  and  the 
Father,  "in  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ ; 

21  "Submitting  yourselves  one  to  another  in  the  fear  of 
God. 

22  "Wives,  submit  yourselves  unto  your  own  husbands, 
'as  unto  the  Lord. 

23  For  ''the  husband  is  the  head  of  the  wife,  even  as  'Christ 
is  the  head  of  the  church :  and  he  is  the  Saviour  of  'the  body. 

24  Therefore  as  the  church  is  subject  unto  Christ,  so  let 
the  wives  be  to  their  own  husbands  "in  every  thing. 

25  ^Husbands,  love  your  wives,  even  as  Christ  also  loved 
the  church,  and  "gave  himself  for  it ; 

26  That  he  might  sanctify  and  cleanse  it  'with  the  washing 
of  water  "by  the  word, 

27  ''That  he  might  present  it  to  himself  a  glorious  church, 
"not  having  spot  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such  thing;  ''but  that  it 
should  be  holy  and  without  blemish. 


labour,    working   with  his  hands  the  thing  that  is 
good,  that  he  may  have  whereof  to  give  to  him  that 

29  hath  need.  Let  no  corrupt  speech  proceed  out  of 
your  mouth,  but  such  as  is  good  for  'edifying  as  the 
need  may  be,   that  it  may  give  grace  to   them  that 

30  hear.  And  grieve  not  the  Holy  Spirit  of  God,  in 
whom  ye  were  sealed  unto  the  day  of  redemption. 

31  Let  all  bitterness,  and  wrath,  and  anger,  and  clamour, 
and  railing,  be  put  away  from  you,  with  all  malice : 

32  and  be  ye  kind  one  to  another,  tenderhearted,  for- 
giving each  other,  even  as  God  also  in  Christ  for- 
gave ^you. 

0     Be  ye    therefore    imitators  of  God,   as   beloved 

2 children;   and    walk   in   love,   even  as  Christ  also 

loved  you,  and  gave  himself  up  for  'us,  an  offering 

and  a  sacrifice  to  God  for  an  odour  of  a  sweet  smell. 

3  But  fornication,  and  all  uncleanness,  or  covetousness, 
let  it  not  even  be  named  among  you,  as  becometh 

4  saints;  nor  filthiness,  nor  foolish  talking,  or  jesting, 
which  are  not  befitting:  but  rather  giving  of  thanks. 

5  For  this  ye  know  of  a  surety,  that  no  fornicator,  nor 
unclean  person,  nor  covetous  man,  which  is  an  idol- 
ater, hath  any  inheritance  in  the  kingdom  of  Christ 

6  and  God.  Let  no  man  deceive  you  with  empty 
words:    for   because   of  these    things    cometh    the 

7  wrath  of  God  upon  the  sons  of  disobedience.     Be 
Snot  ye  therefore  partakers  with  them;  for  ye  were 

once  darkness,  but  are  now  light  in  the  Lord :    walk 
9  as  children  of  light  (for  the  fruit  of  the  light  is  in  all 

10  goodness    and    righteousness    and    truth),    proving 

11  what  is  well-pleasing  unto  the  Lord;  and  have  no 
fellowship  with  the  unfruitful   works  of  darkness, 

12 but  rather  even  ^reprove  them;  for  the  things  which 
are  done  by  them  in  secret  it  is  a  shame  even  to 

13  speak  of  But  all  things  when  they  are  'reproved 
are  made  manifest  by  the  light :  for  everything  that  is 

14  made  manifest  is  light.  Wherefore  he  saith.  Awake, 
thou  that  sleepest,  and  arise  from  the  dead,  and 
Christ  shall  shine  upon  thee. 

15  Look  therefore  carefully  how  ye  walk,  not  as  un- 

1 6  wise,  but  as  wise ;  ^redeeming  the  time,  because  the 

17  days  are   evil.     Wherefore  be  ye  not  foolish,    but 

18  understand  what  the  will  of  the  Lord  is.  And 
be  not  drunken  with  wine,  wherein  is  riot,  but   be 

19 filled  'with  the  Spirit;  speaking  'one  to  another  in 
psalms  and  hymns  and  spiritual  songs,  singing  and 

20  making  melody  with  your  heart  to  the  Lord ;  giving 
thanks  always  for  all  things  in  the   name  of  our 

21  Lord  Jesus  Christ  to  'God,  even  the  Father ;  sub- 
jecting yourselves  one  to  another  in  the  fear  of 
Christ. 

22  Wives,  be  in  subjection  unto  your  own  husbands,  as 

23  unto  the  Lord.  For  the  husband  is  the  head  of  the 
wife,  as  Christ  also  is  the  head  of  the  church,  being 

24  himself  the  saviour  of  the  body.  But  as  the  church 
is  subject  to  Christ,  '°so  let  the  wives  also  be  to  their 

25  husbands  in  everything.  Husbands,  love  your  wives, 
even  as  Christ  also  loved  the  church,  and  gave  him- 

26  self  up  for  it ;  that  he  might  sanctify  it,  having 
cleansed  it  by  the  "washing  of  water  with  the  word, 

27  that  he  might  present  the  church  to  himself  a  glo- 
rious church,  not  having  spot  or  wrinkle  or  any  such 
thing;  but  that  it  should  be  holy  and  without  blemish.

28'  So  ought  men  to  love  their  wives  as  their  own  bodies. 
He  tliat  loveth  his  wife  loveth  himself. 

29  For  no  man  ever  yet  hated  his  own  flesh ;  but  nour- 
isheth  and  cherisheth  it,  even  as  the  Lord  the  church : 

30  For  'we  are  members  of  his  body,  of  his  flesh,  and  of 
his  bones. 

31  -^For  this  cause  shall  a  man  leave  his  father  and  mother,  and 
shall  be  joined  unto  his  wife,  and  they  "two  shall  be  one  flesh. 

32  This  is  a  great  mystery  :  but  I  speak  concerning  Christ 
and  the  chni-uh. 

33  Nevertneless,  ''let  every  one  of  you  in  particular  so  love 
his  wife  even  as  himself;  and  the  wife  see  that  she  'reverence 
her  husband. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

Reciprocal  duties  recommended. 

CHILDIlEN,''obey  your  parents  i  n  the  Lord :  for  this  is  right. 
2  ""Honour  thy  father  and  mother,  which  is  the  first 
commandment  with  promise; 

3  That  it  may  be  well  with  thee,  and  thou  mayest  live 
long  on  the  earth. 

4  And,  'ye  fathers,  provoke  not  your  children  to  wrath:  but 
''bring  them  up  in  the  nurture  and  admonition  of  the  Lord. 

5  'Servants,  be  obedient  to  them  that  are  your  masters  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh,  ■''with  fear  and  trembling,  'in  singleness 
of  your  heart,  as  unto  Christ; 

6  *Not  with  eyeservice,  as  menpleasers;  but  as  the  servants 
of  Christ,  doing  the  will  of  God  from  the  heart; 

7  With  goodwilldoingservice,astotheLord,andnottomen: 

8  'Knowing  that  whatsoever  good  thing  any  man  doeth,the 
same  shall  he  receive  of  the  Lord,  *whether  he  be  bond  or  free. 

9  And,  ye  'masters,  do  the  same  things  unto  them,  ||  "for- 
bearing threatening:  knowing  that  [["your  Master  also  is  in 
heaven  ;  "neither  is  there  respect  of  persons  with  him. 

10  Finally,  my  brethren,  be  strong  in  the  Lord,  and  ^in 
the  power  of  his  might. 

11  »Put  on  the  whole  armour  of  God,  that  ye  may  be  able 
to  stand  against  the  wiles  of  the  devil. 

1 2  For  we  wrestle  not  against  f ''flesh  and  blood,  but  against 
•principalities,  against  powers,  against  'the  rulers  of  the  dark- 
nessofthisworld,against  ||  spiritual  wickedness  in  ||highip/aces. 

13  "Wherefore  take  qnto  you  the  whole  armour  of  God, 
that  ye  may  be  able  to  withstand  "in  the  evil  day,  and  ||  hav- 
ing done  all,  to  stand. 

14  Stand  therefore,  "having  your  loins  girt  about  with 
truth,  and  'having  on  the  breastplate  of  righteousness ; 

15  "And  your  feet  shod  with  the  preparation  of  the  gospel 
of  peace ; 

16  Above  all,  taking  'the  shield  of  faith,  wherewith  ye 
shall  be  able  to  quench  all  the  fiery  darts  of  the  wicked. 

17  And  "^take  the  helmet  of  salvation,  and  ''the  sword  of 
the  Spirit,  which  is  the  word  of  God : 

18  'Praying  always  with  all  prayer  and  supplication  in  the 
Spirit,  and  ■''watching  thereunto  with  all  perseverance  and 
'supplication  for  all  saints ; 

19  ""And  for  me,  that  utterance  may  be  given  unto  me, 
that  I  may  open  my  mouth  *boldly,  to  make  known  the 
mystery  of  the  gospel, 

20  For  which  *I  am  an  ambassador  '||in  bonds;  that 
II  therein  ""I  may  speak  boldly,  as  I  ought  to  speak. 

21  But  "that  ye  also  may  know  my  affairs,  and  how  I  do, 
°Tych'i-cus,  a  beloved  brother  and  faithful  minister  in  the 
Lord,  shall  make  known  to  you  all  things :

23  'Peace  be  to  the  brethren,  and  love  with  faith  from  God 
the  Father  and  the  Ijord  Jesus  Christ.

•■11  in  sincerity.     Amen. 

t  Written  from  Rome  unto  the  BpbesianS;  by  Tychicus. 


28  Even  so  ought  husbands  also  to  love  their  own 
wives  as  their  own  bodies.     He  that  loveth  his  own 

29  wife  loveth  himself:  for  no  man  ever  hated  his  own 
flesh;    but   nourisheth   and  cherisheth    it,   even   as 

30  Christ    also  the   church ;  because  we   are   members 

31  of  his  body.  For  this  cause  shall  a  man  leave 
his  father  and  mother,  and  shall  cleave  to  his  wife ; 

32  and  the  twain  shall  become  one  flesh.  This  mys- 
tery is  great:  but  I  speak  in  regard  of  Christ   and 

33  of  the  church.  Nevertheless  do  ye  also  severally 
love  each  one  his  own  wife  even  as  himself;  and  let 
the  wife  see  that  she  fear  her  husband. 

V  Children,  obey  your  parents  in  the  Lord :  for  this 

2  is  right.     Honour  thy  father  and  mother  (which  is 

3  the  first  commandment  with  promise),  that  it  may  be 
well  with  thee,  and  thou  'mayest  live  long  on  the 

4  ^earth.  And,  ye  fathers,  provoke  not  your  children 
to  wrath :  but  nurture  them  in  the  chastening  and 
admonition  of  the  Lord. 

5  'Servants,  be  obedient  unto  them  that  according  to 
the  flesh  are  your  ^masters,  Avith  fear  and  trembling, 

6  in  singleness  of  your  heart,  as  unto  Christ ;  not  in 
the  way  of  eyeservice,  as  men-pleasers ;  but  as 
'servants  of  Christ,  doing  the  will  of  God  from  the 

T^heart;   with  good  will  doing   service,  as  unto  the 

8  Lord,  and  not  unto  men :  knowing  that  whatsoever 
good  thing  each  one  doeth,  the  same  shall  he  re^ 
ceive  again  from  the  Lord,  whether  he  be  bond  or 

9  free.  And,  ye  ^masters,  do  the  same  things  unto 
them,  and  forbear  threatening:  knowing  that  both 
their  Master  and  yours  is  in  heaven,  and  there  is  no 
respect  of  persons  with  him. 

10  ^Finally,  'be  strong  in  the  Lord,  and  in  the  strength 

11  of  his  might.  Put  on  the  whole  armour  of  God,  that 
ye  may  be  able  to  stand  against  the  wiles  of  the  devil 

12  For  our  wrestling  is  not  against  flesh  and  blood,  but 
against  the  principalities,  against  the  powers,  against 
the  world-rulers  of  this  darkness,  against  the  spir- 
itual hosts  of  wickedness  in  the  heavenly  places. 

13  Wherefore  take  up  the  whole  armour  of  God,  that 
ye  may  be  able  to  withstand  in  the  evil  day,  and, 

14  having  done  all,  to  stand.  Stand  therefore,  having 
girded  your  loins  with  truth,  and  having  put  on  the 

15breastplace  of  righteousness,  and  having  shod  your 
feet   with  the   preparation  of  the  gospel  of  peace; 

16  withal  taking  up  the  shield  of  faith,  wherewith  ye 
shall  be  able  to  quench  all  the  fiery  darts  of  the  evil 

17  one.     And  take  the   helmet   of  salvation,   and  the 

18  sword  of  the  Spirit,  which  is  the  word  of  God:  with 
all  prayer  and  supplication  praying  at  all  seasons  in 
the  Spirit,  and  watching  thereunto  in  all  perseverance 

19  and  supplication  for  all  the  saints,  and  on  my  behalf, 
that  utterance  may  be  given  unto  me  *in  opening  my 
mouth,  to  make  known  with  boldness  the  mystery  of 

20the  gospel,  for  which  I  am  an  ambassador  in  'chains; 
that  in  it  I  may  speak  boldly,  as  I  ought  to  speak. 

21  But  that  ye  also  may  know  my  affairs,  how  I  do, 
Tych'i-cus,  the  beloved  brother  and  faithful  minister 
in  the  Lord,  shall  make  known  to  you  all  things: 

22wliom  I  have  sent  unto  you  for  this  very  purpose, 
that  ye  may  know  our  state,  and  that  he  may  com- 
fort your  hearts. 

23  Peace  be  to  the  brethren,  and  love  with  faith,  from 

24  God  the  Father  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  Grace 
be  with  all  them  that  love  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  in 
uncorruptness.

PHILIPPIANS. 

CHAPTER  I. 

PauVs  readiness  to  suffer. 

PAUL  and  Ti-mo'the-us,  the  servants  of  Jesus  Christ,  to 
all  the  saints  "in  Christ  Jesus  which  are  at  Phi-lip'pi, 
with  the  bishops  and  deacons: 

2  ""Grace  he  unto  you,  and  peace,  from  God  our  Father 
and/»'o??i  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

3  'I  thank  my  God  upon  every  ||  remembrance  of  you, 

4  Always  in  every  prayer  of  mine  for  you  all  making  re- 
quest with  joy, 

5  ""For  your  fellowship  in  the  gospel  from  the  first  day 
until  now; 

6  Being  confident  of  this  very  thing,  that  he  which  hath 
begun  'a  good  work  in  you  ||  will  perform  it  -^until  the  day 
of  Jesus  Christ : 

7  Even  as  it  is  meet  for  me  to  think  this  of  you  all,  because 
II I  have  you  "in  my  heart;  inasmuch  as  both  in  ''my  bonds, 
and  in  'the  defence  and  confirmation  of  the  gospel,  *ye  all 
are  ||  partakers  of  my  grace. 

8  For  'God  is  my  record,  ""how  greatly  I  long  after  you 
all  in  the  bowels  of  Jesus  Christ. 

9  And  this  I  pray,  "that  your  love  may  abound  yet  more 
and  more  in  knowledge  and  in  all  || judgment; 

10  That  "ye  may  jj  approve  things  that  ||are  excellent; 
"that  ye  may  be  sincere  and  without  offence  'till  the  day  of 
Christ ; 

11  Being  filled  with  the  fruits  of  righteousness,  "■  which  are 
by  Jesus  Christ,  'unto  the  glory  and  praise  of  God. 

12  But  T  would  ye  should  understand,  brethren,  that  the 
things  w/i/c/i  happened  unto  me  have  fallen  out  rather  unto 
the  furtherance  of  the  gospel ; 

13  So  that  my  bonds  ||  in  Christ  are  manifest  'in  all  [jthe 
palace,  and  ||  in  all  other  places; 

14  And  many  of  the  brethren  in  the  Lord,  waxing  con- 
fident by  my  bonds,  are  much  more  bold  to  speak  the  word 
without  fear. 

1 5  Some  indeed  preach  Christ  even  of  envy  and  "strife ; 
and  some  also  of  good  will : 

16  The  one  preach  Christ  of  contention,  not  sincerely, 
supposing  to  add  affliction  to  my  bonds: 

17  But  the  other  of  love,  knowing  that  I  am  set  for  'the 
defence  of  the  gospel. 

18  "What  then?  notwithstanding  every  way,  whether  in 
pretence,  or  in  truth,  Christ  is  preached;  and  I  therein  do 
rejoice,  yea,  and  will  rejoice. 

19  For  I  know  that  this  shall  turn  to  my  salvation 
"through  your  prayer,  and  the  supply  of  'the  Spirit  of  Jesus 
Christ, 

20  According  to  my  "earnest  expectation,  and  my  hope, 
that  ''in  nothing  I  shall  be  ashamed,  but  that  ''with  all  bold- 
ness, as  always,  so  now  also  Christ  shall  be  magnified  in 
my  body,  whether  it  be  by  life,  or  by  death. 

21  For  to  me  to  live  is  Christ,  and  to  die  is  gain. 

22  But  if  I  live  in  the  flesh,  this  is  the  fruit  of  my  labour : 
yet  what  I  shall  choose  I  wot  not. 

23  For  ''I  am  in  a  strait  betwixt  two,  having  a  desire  to 
'depart,  and  to  be  with  Christ;  which  is  far  better: 

24  Nevertheless  to  abide  in  the  flesh  is  more  needful  for 
you. 

25  And  •'having  this  confidence,  I  know  that  I  shall  abide 
and  continue  with  you  all  for  your  furtherance  and  joy 
of  faith ; 


THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO   THE 

PHILIPPIANS. 


-»•     Paul  and  Tim'o-thy,  'servants  of  Christ  Jesus,  to 

all  the  saints  in  Christ  Jesus  which  are  at  Phi-lip'pi, 

2 with  the^bishops  and   deacons:    Grace  to  you  and 

peace  from  God  our  Father  and  the  Lord   Jesus 

Christ. 

3  I  thank  my  God  upon  all  my  remembrance  of  you, 

4  always  in  every  supplication  of  mine  on  behalf  of 

5  you  all  making  my  supplication  with  joy,  for  your 
fellowship  in  furtherance  of  the  gospel  from  the  first 

6  day  until  now;  being  confident  of  this  very  thing, 
that  he  which  began  a  good  work  in  you  will  perfect 

7  it  until  the  day  of  Jesus  Christ :  even  as  it  is  right 
for  me  to  be  thus  minded  on  behalf  of  you  all,  be- 
cause 'I  have  you  in  my  heart,  inasmuch  as,  both  in 
my  bonds  and  in  the  defence  and  confirmation  of 
the  gospel,  ye  all  are  partakers  with  me   of   grace. 

8  For  God  is  my  witness,  how  I  long  after  you  all  in 

9  the  tender  mercies  of  Christ  Jesus.  And  this  I  pray, 
that  your  love  may  abound  yet  more  and  more  in 

10 knowledge  and  all  discernment;  so  that  ye  may 
^approve  the  things  that  are  excellent;  that  ye  may 
be  sincere  and  void  of  offence  unto  the  day  of  Christ ; 

11  being  filled  with  the  "fruits  of  righteousness,  which 
are  through  Jesus  Christ,  unto  the  glory  and  praise 
of  God. 

12  Now  I  would  have  you  know,  brethren,  that  the 
things  which  happened  unto  me  have  fallen  out  rather 

13 unto  the  progress  of  the  gospel;  so  that  my  bonds 
became  manifest   in    Christ  'throughout  the  whole 

14pr8etorian  guard,  and  to  all  the  rest;  and  that  most 
of  the  brethren  in  the  Lord,  ^being  confident  through 
my  bonds,  are  more  abundantly  bold  to  speak  the 

15  word  of  God  without  fear.  Some  indeed  preach 
Christ  even  of  envy  and  strife ;  and  some  also  of 

16  good  will :  the  one  do  it  of  love,  knowing  that  I  am 
17 set  for  the  defence  of  the  gospel:  but  the  other  pro 

claim   Christ  of  faction,  not  sincerely,  thinking  to 

18  raise  up  affliction  for  me  in  my  bonds.  What  then? 
only  that  in  every  way,  whether  in  pretence  or  in 
truth,  Christ  is  proclaimed;  and  therein   I  rejoice, 

19  yea,  and  will  rejoice.  For  I  know  that  this  shall 
turn    to    my   salvation,    through   your   supplication 

20  and  the  supply  of  the  Spirit  of  Jesus  Christ,  ac- 
cording to  my  earnest  expectation  and  hope,  that 
in  nothing  shall  I  be  put  to  shame,  but  that  with 
all  boldness,  as  always,  so  now  also  Christ  shall 
be  magnified  in  my  body,  whether  by  life,  or  by 

21  death.     For  to  me  to  live  is  Christ,  and  to  die  is 

22  gain.  'But  if  to  live  in  the  flesh, — if  this  is  the 
fruit  of  my  work,  then  'what  I  shall  choose  '"I  wot 

23  not.  But  I  am  in  a  strait  betwixt  the  two,  hav- 
ing the  desire  to  depart  and  be  with  Christ;    for 

24 it  is  very  far  better:    yet  to  abide  in  the  flesh  is 
25  more  needful  for  your  sake.     And  having  this  con- 
fidence, I  know  that  I  shall  abide,  yea,  and  abide 
with  you  all,  for  your  progress  and  joy  "in  the  faith;

26  That  "your  rejoicing  may  be  more  abundant  in  Jesus 
Christ  for  me  by  my  coming  to  you  again. 

27  Only  ''let  your  conversation  be  as  it  becometh  the 
gospel  of  Christ:  that  whether  I  come  and  see  you,  or  else 
be  absent,  I  may  hear  of  your  aifairs,  'that  ye  stand  fast  in 
one  spirit,  *with  one  mind  'striving  together  for  the  faith  of 
the  gospel; 

28  And  in  nothing  terrified  by  your  adversaries :  ""which 
is  to  them  an  evident  token  of  perdition,  "but  to  you  of 
salvation,  and  that  of  God. 

29  For  unto  you  °it  is  given  in  the  behalf  of  Christ,  "not 
only  to  believe  on  him,  but  also  to  suffer  for  his  sake ; 

30  'Having  the  same  conflict  ''which  you  saw  in  me,  and 
now  hear  to  be  in  me. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Love  and  untty  recommetided. 

IF  there   he  therefore   any   consolation   in   Christ,  if  any 
comfort  of  love,  "if  any  fellowship  of  the  Spirit,  if  any 
'bowels  and  mercies, 

2  "Fulfil  ye  my  joy,  ''that  ye  be  likeminded,  having  the 
same  love,  being  of  one  accord,  of  one  mind. 

3  'Let  nothing  be  done  through  strife  or  vainglory;  but 
-^n  lowliness  of  mind  let  each  esteem  other  better  than 
themselves. 

4  "Look  not  every  man  on  his  own  things,  but  every  man 
also  on  the  things  of  others. 

5  ''Let  this  mind  be  in  you,  which  was  also  in  Christ  Jesus : 

6  Who  'being  in  the  form  of  God,  ^thought  it  not  robbery 
to  be  equal  with  God  : 

7  'But  made  himself  of  no  reputation,  and  took  upon  him  the 
form  ""of  a  servant,  and  "was  made  in  the  ||  likeness  of  men : 

8  And  being  found  in  fashion  as  a  man,  he  humbled  him- 
self, and  "became  obedient  unto  death,  even  the  death  of  the 
cross. 

9  Wherefore  God  also  "hath  highly  exalted  him,  and  'given 
him  a  name  which  is  above  every  name : 

10  ""That  at  the  name  of  Jesus  every  knee  should  bow, 
of  things  in  heaven,  and  things  in  earth,  and  things  under 
the  earth ; 

11  And  'that  every  tongue  should  confess  that  Jesus  Christ 
is  Lord,  to  the  glory  of  God  the  Father. 

12  Wherefore,  my  beloved,  'as  ye  have  always  obeyed,  not 
as  in  my  presence  only,  but  now  much  more  in  my  absence, 
work  out  your  own  salvation  with  "fear  and  trembling : 

13  For  'it  is  God  which  worketh  in  you  both  to  will  and 
to  do  of  his  good  pleasure. 

14  Do  all  things  "without  murmurings  and  'disputings: 

15  That  ye  may  be  blameless  and  ||  harmless,  "the  sons  of 
God,  without  rebuke,  ""in  the  midst  of  "a  crooked  and  per- 
verse nation,  among  whom  ||''ye  shine  as  lights  in  the  world  ; 

16  Holding  forth  the  word  of  life;  that  'I  may  rejoice  in 
the  day  of  Christ,  that^  have  not  run  in  vain,  neither  la- 
boured in  vain. 

17  Yea,  and  if  "I  be  foffered  upon  the  sacrifice  ''and  serv- 
ice of  your  faith,  'T  joy  and  rejoice  with  you  all. 

18  For  the  same  cause  also  do  ye  joy,  and  rejoice  with  me. 

19  II  But  I  trust  in  the  Lord  Jesus  to  send  *Ti-mo'the-us 
shortly  unto  you,  that  I  also  may  be  of  good  comfort,  when 
I  know  your  state. 

20  For  I  have  no  man  '||  likeminded,  who  will  naturally 
care  for  your  state. 

21  For  all  ""seek  their  own,  not  the  things  which  are 
Jesus  Christ's. 

22  But  ye  know  the  proof  of  him,  "that,  as  a  son  with 
the  father,  he  hath  served  with  me  in  the  gospel. 

23  Him  therefore  I  hope  to  send  presently,  so  soon  as  I 
shall  see  how  it  will  go  with  me. 

24  But  °I  trust  in  the  Lord  that  I  also  myself  shall  come 
shortly. 


26  that  your  glorying  may  abound  in  Christ  Jesus  in 

27  me  through  my  presence  with  you  again.  Only 
'let  your  manner  of  life  be  worthy  of  the  gospel 
of  Christ:  that,  whether  I  come  and  see  you  or 
be  absent,  I  may  hear  of  your  state,  that  ye  stand 
fast  in  one  spirit,  with  one  soul   striving  -for  the 

28 faith  of  the  gospel;  and  in  nothing  affrighted  by 
the  adversaries :  which  is  for  them  an  evident 
token  of  perdition,  but  of  your  salvation,  and  that 

29 from  God;  because  to  you  it  hath  been  granted  in 
the  behalf  of  Christ,  not  only  to  believe  on  him, 

30  but  also  to  suffer  in  his  behalf:  having  the  same 
conflict  which  ye  saw  in  me,  and  now  hear  to  be 
in  me. 

^  If  there  is  therefore  any  comfort  in  Christ,  if  any 
consolation  of  love,  if  any  fellowship  of  the  Spirit, 

2  if  any  tender  mercies  and  compassions,  fulfil  ye  my 
joy,  that  ye  be  of  the  same  mind,  having  the  same 

3  love,  being  of  one  accord,  'of  one  mind ;  doing  nothing 
through  faction  or  through  vainglory,  but  in  lowli- 
ness of  mind  each  counting  other  better  than  him- 

4  self;  not  looking  each  of  you  to  his  own  things,  but 

5  each  of  you  also  to  the  things  of  others.     Have  this 

6  mind  in  you,  which  was  also  in  Christ  Jesus :  who 
^being  in  the  form  of  God,  counted  it  not  'a  prize  to 

7  be  on  an  equality  with  God,  but  emptied  himself, 
taking  the  form  of  a  ^servant,  "being  made  in   the 

8 likeness  of  men;  and  being  found  in  fashion  as  a 
mau,  he  humbled  himself,  becoming  obedient  even 

9  unto  death,  yea,  the  death  of  the  cross.     Wherefore 

also  God  highly  exalted  him,  and  gave  unto  him  the 

10 name  whi<3h  is  above  every  name;  that  in  the  name 

of  Jesus  every  knee  should  bow,  of  things  in  heaven 

11  and  things  on  earth  and  Hhings  under  the  earth,  and 
that  every  tongue  should  confess  that  Jesus  Christ 
is  Lord,  to  the  glory  of  God  the  Father. 

12  So  then,  my  beloved,  even  as  ye  have  always 
obeyed,  not  'as  in  my  presence  only,  but  now  much 
more  in  my  absence,  work  out  your  own  salvation 

13  with  fear  and  trembling;  for  it  is  God  which  worketh 
in  you  both  to  will  and  to  work,  for  his  good  pleas- 

14ure.     Do  all  things  without  murmurings  and  dis- 

15putings;   that  ye  may  be  blameless  and  harmless, 

children  of  God  without  blemish  in  the  midst  of  a 

crooked  and  perverse  generation,  among  whom  ye 

16  are  seen  as  '"lights  in  the  world,  holding  forth  the 
word  of  life ;  that  I  may  have  whereof  to  glory  in 
the  day  of  Christ,  that  I  did  not  run  in  vain  neither 

17  labour  in  vain.  Yea,  and  if  I  am  "offered  upon  the 
sacrifice  and  service  of  your  faith,  I  joy,  and  rejoice 

18 with  you  all:  and  in  the  same  manner  do  ye  also 
joy,  and  rejoice  with  me. 

19  But  I  hope  in  the  Lord  Jesus  to  send  Tim'o-thy 
shortly  unto  you,  that  I  also  may  be  of  good  com- 

20  fort,  when  I  know  your  state.     For  I  have  no  man 

21  likeminded,  who  will  care  'Hruly  for  your  state.  For 
they  all  seek  their  own,  not  the  things  of  Jesus  Christ. 

22  But  ye  know  the  proof  of  him,  that  as  a  child  serveth 
a  father,  so  he  served  with  me  in  furtherance  of  the 

23  gospel.     Him  therefore   I   hope  to  send  forthwith, 

24  so  soon  as  I  shall  see  how  it  will  go  with  me :  but  1 
trust  in  the  Lord  that  I  myself  also  shall  come  shortly.

25  Yet  I  supposed  it  necessary  to  send  to  you  "E-paph-ro- 
di'tus,  my  brother,  and  companion  in  labour,  and  'fellow- 
soldier,  "^but  your  messenger,  and  'he  that  ministered  to  my 
wants. 

26  'For  he  longed  after  you  all,  and  was  full  of  heaviness, 
because  that  ye  had  heard  that  he  had  been  sick. 

27  For  indeed  he  was  sick  nigh  unto  death :  but  God  had 
mercy  on  him ;  and  not  on  him  only,  but  on  me  also,  lest  I 
should  have  sorrow  upon  sorrow. 

28  I  sent  him  therefore  the  more  carefully,  that,  when  ye 
see  him  again,  ye  may  rejoice,  and  that  I  may  be  the  less 
sorrowful. 

29  Receive  him  therefore  in  the  Lord  with  all  gladness; 
and  II "hold  such  in  reputation: 

30  Because  for  the  work  of  Christ  he  was  nigh  unto 
death,  not  regarding  his  life,  to  "'supply  your  lack  of  service 
toward  me. 

CHAPTER    III. 

To  beware  of  false  teachers. 

FINALLY,  my  brethren,  "rejoice  in  the  Lord.     To  write 
the  same  things  to  you,  to  me  indeed  is  not  grievous,  but 
for  you  it  is  safe. 

2  "Beware  of  dogs,  beware  of  'evil  workers,  ''beware  of 
the  concision. 

3  For  we  are  'the  circumcision,  Avhich  worship  God  in 
the  Spirit,  and  "rejoice  in  Christ  Jesus,  and  have  no  confi- 
dence in  the  flesh. 

4  Though  *!  might  also  have  confidence  in  the  flesh.  If 
any  other  man  thinketh  that  he  hath  whereof  he  might  trust 
in  the  flesh,  I  more : 

5  'Circumcised  the  eighth  day,  'of  the  stock  of  Is'ra-el,  'of 
the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min,  "a  He'brew  of  the  He'brews;  as 
touching  the  law,  "a  Phar'i-see ; 

6  "Concerning  zeal,  ''persecuting  the  church ;  'touching 
the  righteousness  which  is  in  the  law,  ''blameless. 

7  But  'what  things  were  gain  to  me,  those  I  counted  loss 
for  Christ. 

8  Yea  doubtless,  and  I  count  all  things  but  loss  'for  the 
excellency  of  the  knowledge  of  Christ  Jesus  my  Lord :  for 
whom  I  have  suifered  the  lo.ss  of  all  things,  and  do  count 
them  but  dung,  that  I  may  win  Christ, 

9  And  be  found  in  him,  not  having  "mine  own  righteous- 
ness, which  is  of  the  law,  but  ^that  which  is  through  the 
faith  of  Christ,  the  righteousness  which  is  of  God  by  faith: 

10  That  I  may  know  him,  and  the  power  of  his  resurrec- 
tion, and  ''the  fellowship  of  his  sufferings,  being  made  con- 
formable unto  his  death; 

11  If  by  any  means  I  might  'attain  unto  the  resurrection 
of  the  dead. 

12  Not  as  though  I  had  already  "attained,  either  were 
already  'perfect :  but  I  follow  after,  if  that  I  may  apprehend 
that  for  which  also  I  am  apprehended  of  Christ  Jesus. 

13  Brethren,  I  count  not  myself  to  have  apprehended:  but 
this  one  thing  I  do,  "forgetting  those  things  which  are  behind, 
and  ''reaching  forth  unto  those  things  which  are  before, 

14  *I  press  toward  the  mark  for  the  prize  of  ^the  high 
calling  of  God  in  Christ  Jesus. 

15  Let  us  therefore,  as  many  as  be  "perfect,  ''be  thus 
minded :  and  if  in  any  thing  ye  be  otherwise  minded,  God 
shall  reveal  even  this  unto  you. 

16  Nevertheless,  whereto  we  have  already  attained,  'let  us 
walk  *by  the  same  rule,  'let  us  mind  the  same  thing. 

17  Brethren,  "'be  followers  together  of  me,  and  mark  them 
which  walk  so  as  "ye  have  us  for  an  ensample. 

18  (For  many  walk,  of  whom  I  have  told  you  often,  and 
now  tell  you  even  weeping,  that  they  are  "the  enemies  of  the 
cross  of  Christ: 

19  "Whose  end  is  destruction,  "whose  God  is  their  belly,  and 
whose  glory  is  in  their  shame,  'who  mind  earthly  things.) 


25  But  I  counted  it  necessary  to  send  to  you  E-paph-ro 
di'tus,  my  brother  and  fellow-worker  and  fellow 
soldier,  and  your  'messenger  and  minister  to   my 

26  need;  since  he  longed  %fter  you  all,  and  was  sore 
troubled,  because  ye  had  heard  that  he  was  sick : 

27  for  indeed  he  was  sick  nigh  unto  death :  but  God 
had  mercy  on  him;  and  not  on  him  only,  but  on 
me   also,  that   I  might  not  have  sorrow  upon  sor 

28  row.  I  have  sent  him  therefore  the  more  dili- 
gently, that,  when  ye  see  him  again,  ye  may  rejoice, 

29  and  that  I  may  be  the  less  sorrowful.  Receive 
him  therefore  in  the  Lord  with  all  joy ;   and  hold 

30 such  in  honour:  because  for  the  work  of  'Christ 
he  came  nigh  unto  death,  hazarding  his  life  to 
supply  that  which  was  lacking  in  your  service 
toward  me. 

V  Finally,  my  brethren,  *rejoice  in  the  Lord.  To 
write  the  same  things  to  you,  to   me  indeed  is  not 

2  irksome,  but  for  you  it  is  safe.  Beware  of  the  dogs, 
beware  of  the  evil  workers,  beware  of  the  concision  : 

3  for  we  are  the  circumcision,  who  worship  by  the  Spirit 
of  God,  and  glory  in  Christ  Jesus,  and  have  no  con- 

4  fidence  in  the  flesh :  though  I  myself  might  have  con 
fidence  even  in  the  flesh  :  if  any  other  man  'thinketh 

5  to  have  confidence  in  the  flesh,  I  yet  more :  circum 
cised  the  eighth  day,  of  the  stock  of  Is'ra-el,  of  the 
tribe  of  Ben'ja-min,  a  He'brcAV  of  He'brews;  as  touch 

6  ing  the  law,  a  Phar'i-see;  as  touching  zeal,  persecuting 
the  church ;  as  touching  the  righteousness  which  is 

7  in  the  law,  found  blameless.  Howbeit  what  things 
were  'gain  to  me,  these  have  I  counted  loss  for  Christ, 

8  Yea  verily,  and  I  count  all  things  to  be  loss  for  the 
excellency  of  the  knowledge  of  Christ  Jesus  my 
Lord :  for  whom  I  suffered  the  loss  of  all  things,  and 
do  count  them  but  Mung,  that  I  may   gain   Christ, 

9  and  be  found  in  him,  'not  having  a  righteousness  of 
mine  own,  even  that  which  is  of  the  law,  but  that 
which  is  through  faith  in  Christ,  the   righteousness 

10  which  is  of  God  "by  faith :  that  I  may  know  him,  and 
the  power  of  his  resurrection,  and  the  fellowship  of 
his  sufferings,  becoming  conformed  unto  his  death ; 

11  if  by  any  means  I  may  attain  unto  the  resurrection 

12  from  the  dead.  Not  that  I  have  already  obtained, 
or  am  already  made  perfect :  but  I  press  on,  if  so  be 
that  I  may  "apprehend  that  for  which  also  I  was  ap- 

13prehended  by  Christ  Jesus.  Brethren,  I  count  not 
myself  "yet  to  have  apprehended :  but  one  thing  /  do, 
forgetting  the  things  which  are  behind,  and  stretching 

14  forward  to  the  things  which  are  before,  I  press  on 
toward  the  goal  unto  the  prize  of  the  "high  calling 

15  of  God  in  Christ  Jesus.  Let  us  therefore,  as  many 
as  be  perfect,  be  thus  minded :  and  if  in  anything  ye 
are  otherwise  minded,  even  this  shall  God  reveal  unto 

16  you :  only,  whereunto  we  have  already  attained,  by 
that  same  rule  let  us  walk. 

17  Brethren,  be  ye  imitators  together  of  me,  and 
mark  them  which  so  walk  even  as  ye   have  us  for 

18  an  ensample.  For  many  walk,  of  whom  I  told  you 
often,  and   now  tell  you  even  weeping,  that  they 

19  are  the  enemies  of  the  cross  of  Christ :   whose  end 
perdition,  whose    god   is  the   belly,  and  whose 


IS 


glory  is  in  their  shame,  who  mind  earthly  things.

CHAPTER    IV. 

General  exhortations, 

THEREFORE,  my  brethren  dearly  beloved  and  "longed 
for,  *my  joy  and  crown,  so  "stand  fast  in  the  Lord,  my 
dearly  beloved. 

2  I  beseech  Eu-o'di-as,  and  beseech  Syn'ty-che,  ''that  they 
be  of  the  same  mind  in  the  Lord. 

3  And  I  entreat  thee  also,  true  yokefellow,  help  those 
women  which  'laboured  with  me  in  the  gospel,  with  Clem'- 
eut  also,  and  with  other  my  fellow  labourer.?,  whose  names 
are  in  ■''the  book  of  life. 

4  "Rejoice  in  the  Lord  always:  and  again  I  say,  Rejoice. 

5  Let  your  moderation  be  known  unto  all  men.  ''The 
Lord  is  at  hand. 

6  'Be  careful  for  nothing;  but  in  every  thing  by  prayer 
and  supplication  with  thanksgiving  let  your  requests  be 
made  known  unto  God. 

7  And  *the  peace  of  God,  which  passeth  all  understanding, 
shall  keep  your  hearts  and  minds  through  Christ  Jesus. 

8  Finally,  brethren,  whatsoever  things  are  true,  whatso- 
ever things  are  \\  honest,  whatsoever  things  are  just,  what- 
soever things  are  pure,  whatsoever  things  are  lovely, 
'whatsoever  things  are  of  good  report ;  if  there  be  any  virtue, 
and  if  there  be  any  praise,  think  on  these  things. 

9  "Those  things,  which  ye  have  both  learned,  and  received, 
and  heard,  and  seen  in  me,  do :  and  "the  God  of  peace  shall 
be  with  you. 

10  But  I  rejoiced  in  the  Lord  greatly,  that  now  at  the  last 
"your  care  of  me  ||hath  flourished  again;  wherein  ye  were 
also  careful,  but  ye  lacked  opportunity. 

11  Not  that  I  speak  in  respect  of  want:  for  I  have  learned, 
in  whatsoever  state  I  am,  'therewith  to  be  content. 

12  »I  know  both  how  to  be  abased,  and  I  know  how 
to  abound :  every  where  and  in  all  things  I  am  instructed 
both  to  be  full  and  to  be  hungry,  both  to  abound  and  to 
sufler  need. 

13  I  can  do  all  things  'through  Christ,  which  strength- 
eneth  me. 

14  Notwithstanding,  ye  have  well  done,  that  'ye  did  com- 
municate with  my  affliction. 

15  Now  ye  PHi-lip'pi-ans  know  also,  that  in  the  beginning 
of  the  gospel,  when  I  departed  from  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  'no  church 
communicated  with  me  as  concerning  giving  and  receiving, 
but  ye  only. 

16  For  even  in  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca  ye  sent  once  and  again  unto 
my  necessity. 

17  Not  because  I  desire  a  gift:  but  I  desire  "fruit  that  may 
abound  to  your  account. 

18  But  II I  have  all,  and  abound:  I  am  full,  having  re- 
ceived "of  E-paph-ro-di'tus  the  things  which  were  sent  from 
you,  "an  odour  of  a  sweet  smell,  'a  sacrifice  acceptable,  well 
pleasing  to  God. 

19  But  my  God  "shall  supply  all  your  need  'according  to 
his  riches  in  glory  by  Christ  Jesus. 

20  "Now  unto  God  and  our  Father  be  glory  for  ever  and 
ever.     Amen. 

21  Salute  every  saint  in  Christ  Jesus.  The  brethren 
""which  are  with  me  greet  you. 

22  All  the  saints  salute  you,  'chiefly  they  that  are  of 
Ce'sar's  household. 

23  ^he  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you  all. 
Amen. 

'^It  was  written  to  the  Philippians  from  Rome,  by  Epaphroditus. 


20  For  our  'citizenship  is  in  heaven ;  from  whence  aiso 

21  we  wait  for  a  Saviour,  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ :  who 
shall  fashion  anew  the  body  of  our  humiliation,  that 
it  may  be  conformed  to  the  body  of  his  glory,  accord- 
ing to  the  working  whereby  he  is  able  even  to  sub- 
ject all  things  unto  himself. 

^  "Wherefore,  my  brethren  beloved  and  longed  for, 
my  joy  and  crown,  so  stand  fast  in  the  Lord,  my 
beloved. 

2  I  exhort  Eu-o'di-a,  and  I  exhort  Syn'ty-che,  to  be  of 

3  the  same  mind  in  the  Lord.  Yea,  I  beseech  thee 
also,  true  yokefellow,  help  these  women,  for  they 
laboured  with  me  in  the  gospel,  with  Clem'ent  also, 
and  the  rest  of  my  fellow-workers,  whose  names  are 
in  the  book  of  life. 

4  ^Rejoice  in  the  Lord   alway:    again   I    will   say, 

5  ^Rejoice.     Let  your  'forbearance  be  known  unto  all 

6  men.  The  Lord  is  at  hand.  In  nothing  be  anx- 
ious; but  in  everything  by  prayer  and  supplication 
with  thanksgiving  let  your  requests  be  made  known 

7  unto  God.  And  the  peace  of  God,  which  passeth 
all  understanding,  shall  guard  your  hearts  and  your 
thoughts  in  Christ  Jesus. 

8  Finally,  brethren,  whatsoever  things  are  true, 
whatsoever  things  are  ^honourable,  whatsoever 
things  are  just,  whatsoever  things  are  pure,  whatso- 
ever things  are  lovely,  whatsoever  things  are  'of 
good  report ;  if  there  be  any  virtue,  and  if  there  be 

9  any  praise,  ^think  on  these  thing's.  The  things 
which  ye  both  learned  and  received  ind  heard  and 
saw  in  me,  these  things  do:  and  the  God  of  peace 
shall  be  with  you. 

10  But  I  'rejoice  in  the  Lord  greatly,  that  now  at 
length  ye  have  revived  your  thought  for  me ;  'where- 
in ye  did  indeed  take  thought,  but  ye  lacked  oppor- 

lltunity.  Not  that  I  speak  in  respect  of  want:  for  I 
have  learned,  in  whatsoever  state  I  am,  therein  to  be 

12  content.  I  know  how  to  be  abased,  and  I  know 
also  how  to  abound :  in  everything  and  in  all  things 
have  I  learned  the  secret  both  to  be  filled  and  to  be 

13  hungry,   both  to  abound  and  to  be  in  want.     I  can 

14  do  all  things  in  him  that  strengtheneth  me.  How- 
beit  ye  did  well,  that  ye  had  fellowship   with    my 

16  affliction.  And  ye  yourselves  also  know,  ye  Phi-lip' 
pi-ans,  that  in  the  beginning  of  the  gospel,  when  I 
departed  from  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  no  church  had  fellow- 
ship with  me  in  the  matter  of  giving  and  receiving, 

16  but  ye  only ;  for  even  in  Thes-.sa-lo-ni'ca  ye  sent  once 

17  and  again  unto  my  need.  Not  that  I  seek  for  the 
gift;  but  I  seek  for  the  fruit  that  increaseth  to  your 

18 account.  But  I  have  all  things,  and  abound:  I  am 
filled, havingreceived  from  E-paph-ro-di'tus  the  things 
that  came  from  you,  an  odour  of  a  sweet  smell,  a 

19  sacrifice  acceptable,  well-pleasing  to  God.  And  my 
God  shall  fulfil  every  need  of  yours  according  to 

20  his  riches  in  glory  in  Christ  Jesus.  Now  unto  our 
God  and  Father  be  the  glory  'for  ever  and  even. 
Amen. 

21  Salute  every  saint  in  Christ  Jesus.     The  brethren 

22  which  are  with  me  salute  you.  All  the  saints  salute 
you,  especially  they  that  are  of  Cae'sar's  household. 

23  The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  your 
spirit.

CHAPTER   I. 

Pau/  describeth  the  true  Christ. 

PAUL,  "an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ  by  the  will  of  God,  and 
Ti-mo'the-us  our  brother, 

2  To  the  saints  ''and  faithful  brethren  in  Christ  which  are 
at  Co-lcs'se :  'Grace  be  unto  you,  and  peace  from  God  our 
Father  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

3  ''We  give  thanks  to  God,  and  the  Father  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  praying  always  for  you. 

4  "Since  we  heard  of  your  faith  in  Christ  Jesus,  and  of 
the  ■'love  which  ye  have  to  all  the  saints, 

5  For  the  hope  "which  is  laid  up  for  you  in  heaven,  whereof 
ye  heard  before  in  the  word  of  the  truth  of  the  gospel ; 

6  Which  is  come  unto  you,  "as  it  is  in  all  the  world ;  and 
'briugeth  forth  fruit,  as  it  doth  also  in  you,  since  the  day  ye 
heard  of  it,  and  knew  *the  grace  of  God  in  truth  : 

7  As  ye  also  learned  of 'Ep'a-phras  our  dear  fellow  servant, 
who  is  for  you  '"a  faithful  minister  of  Christ;

THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO   THE 

COLOSSIANS. 


4-     Paul  an  apostle  of  Christ  Jesus  through  the  will 
2of  God,  and  Tim'o-thy  'our  brother.  Ho  the  saints  and 
faithful  brethren  in  Christ  which  are  at   Co-los'sse : 
Grace  to  you  and  peace  from  God  our  Father. 

3  We  give  thanks  to  God  the  Father  of  our  Lord 

4  Jesus  Christ,  praying  always  for  you,  having  heard 
of  your  faith  in  Christ  Jesus,  and  of  the  love  Avhich 

5  ye  have  toward  all  the  saints,  because  of  the  hope 
which  is  laid  up  for  you  in  the  heavens,  whereof  ye 
heard  before  in  the  word  of  the  truth  of  the  gospel, 

6  which  is  come  unto  you ;  even  as  it  is  also  in  all  the 
world  bearing  fruit  and  increasing,  as  it  doth  in  you 
also,  since  the  day  ye  heard  and  knew  the  grace  of 

7  God  in  truth ;  even  as  ye  learned  of  Ep'a-phras  our 
beloved  fellow-servant,  who  is  a  faithful  minister  of 

8  Christ  on  ^our  behalf,  who  also  declared  unto  us 
your  love  in  the  Spirit. 

9  For  this  cause  we  also,  since  the  day  we  heard  it, 
do  not  cease  to  pray  and  make  request  for  you,  that 
ye  may  be  filled  with  the  knowledge  of  his  will  in 

lOall  spiritual  wisdom  and  understanding,  to  walk 
worthily  of  the  Lord  *unto  all  pleasing,  bearing  fruit 
in  every  good  work,  and  increasing  'in  the  knowl- 

II  edge  of  God ;  'strengthened  'with  all  power,  accord- 
ing to  the  might  of  his  glory,  unto  all  patience  and 

12longsuffering  with  joy;  giving  thanks  unto  the 
Father,  who  made  'us  meet  to  be  partakers  of  the 

13 inheritance  of  the  saints  in  light;  who  delivered  us 
out  of  the  power  of  darkness,  and  translated  us  into 

14 the  kingdom  of  the  Son  of  his  love;  in  whom  we 
have   our  redemption,  the  forgiveness  of  our  sins: 

15  who  is  the  image  of  the  invisible  God,  the  firstborn 

16 of  all  creation;  for  in  him  were  all  things  created, 
in  the  heavens  and  upon  the  earth,  things  visible  and 
things  invisible,  whether  thrones  or  dominions  or 
principalities  or  powers;  all  things  have  been  created, 

17 through  him,  and  unto  him;   and  he  is    before  all 

18  things,  and  in  him  all  things  'consist.  And  he  is 
the  head  of  the  body,  the  church :  who  is  the  be- 
ginning, the    firstborn  from  the  dead;    '"that  in  all 

19  things  he  might  have  the  preeminence.  "For  it  was 
the  good  pleasure  of  the  Father  that  in  him  should 

20 all  the  fulness  dwell;  and  through  him  to  reconcile 
all  things  '^unto  "himself,  having  made  peace  through 
the  blood  of  his  cross;  through  him,  I  say,  whether 
things   upon   the  earth,  or  things  in    the  heavens. 

21  And  you,  being  in  time  past  alienated  and  enemies 
in  your  mind  in  your  evil  works,  yet  now  "hath  he 

22  reconciled  in  the  body  of  his  flesh  through  death, 
to  present  you  holy  and  without  blemish  and  unre- 

23proveable  before  him:  if  so  be  that  ye  continue  in 
the  faith,  grounded  and  stedfast,  and  not  moved 
away  from  the  hope  of  the  gospel  which  ye  heard, 
which  was  preached  in  all  creation  under  heaven ; 
whereof  I  Paul  was  made  a  minister. 

24  Now  I  rejoice  in  my  sufferings  for  your  sake,  and 
fill  up  on  my  part  that  which  is  lacking  of  the 
afflictions  of  Christ  in  my  flesh  for  his  body's  sake, 

25 which  is  the  church;  whereof  I  was  made  a  minis- 
ter, according  to  the  "dispensation  of  God  which 
was  given  me  to  you- ward,  to  fulfil  the  word  of  God,

from  generations,  *but  aow  is  made  manifest  to  his  saints : 

27  'To  whom  God  would  make  known  what  is  "the  riches 
of  the  glory  of  this  mystery  among  the  Gentiles;  which  is 
Christ  II  in  you,  "the  hope  of  glory : 

28  whom  we  preach,  "warning  every  man,  and  teaching 
every  man  in  all  wisdom ;  'that  we  may  present  every  man 
perfect  in  Christ  Jesus: 

29  «Whereiinto  I  also  labour,  'striving  'according  to  his 
working,  which  worketh  in  me  mightily. 

CHAPTER   II. 

Exhortation  to  constancy. 

FOR  I  would  that  ye  knew  what  great  ||  "conflict  I  have 
for  youj  and  for  them  at  La-od-i-ce'a,  and  for  as  many 
as  have  not  seen  my  face  in  the  flesh ; 

2  'That  their  hearts  might  be  comforted,  ''being  knit  to- 
gether in  love,  and  unto  all  riches  of  the  full  assurance  of 
understanding,  ''to  the  acknowledgement  of  the  mystery  of 
God,  and  of  the  Father,  and  of  Christ ; 

3  II 'In  whom  are  hid  all  the  treasures  of  wisdom  and 
knowledge. 

4  And  this  I  say,  lest  any  man  should  beguile  you  with 
enticing  words. 

5  For  "though  I  be  absent  in  the  flesh,  yet  am  I  with  you 
in  the  spirit,  joying  and  beholding  *your  order,  and  the 
'steadfastness  of  your  faith  in  Christ. 

6  *As  ye  have  therefore  received  Christ  Jesus  the  Lord, 
80  walk  ye  in  him: 

7  'Rooted  and  built  up  in  him,  and  stablished  in  the  faith,  as 
ye  have  been  taught,  abounding  therein  with  thanksgiving. 

8  ""Beware  lest  any  man  spoil  you  through  philosophy  and 
vain  deceit,  after  "the  tradition  of  men,  after  the  |t  "rudi- 
ments of  the  world,  and  not  after  Christ. 

9  For  'in  him  dwelleth  all  the  fulness  of  the  Godhead 
bodily. 

10  'And  ye  are  complete  in  him,  'which  is  the  head  of  all 
•principality  and  power: 

11  In  whom  also  ye  are  'circumcised  with  the  circumcision 
made  without  hands,  in  "putting  off  the  body  of  the  sins  of 
the  flesh  by  the  circumcision  of  Christ : 

12  'Buried  with  him  in  baptism,  wherein  also  "ye  are  risen 
Avith  him  through  'the  faith  of  the  operation  of  God,  "who 
hath  raised  him  from  the  dead. 

13  ""And  you,  being  dead  in  your  sins  and  the  uncircum- 
cision  of  your  flesh,  hath  he  quickened  together  with  him, 
having  forgiven  you  all  trespasses ; 

14  "Blotting  out  the  handwriting  of  ordinances  that  was 
against  us,  which  was  contrary  to  us,  and  took  it  out  of  the 
way,  nailing  it  to  his  cross; 

15  And  ''having  spoiled  'principalities  and  powers,  he 
made  a  shew  of  them  openly,  triumphing  over  them  ||  in  it. 

16  Let  no  man  therefore  ■'judge  you  ||  'in  meat,  or  in  drink, 
or  II  in  respect  ''of  a  holyday,  or  of  the  new  moon,  or  of  the 
sabbath  days: 

17  Which  are  a  shadow  of  things  to  come ;  but  the  body 
is  of  Christ. 

18  *Letnoman  ||beguileyouof  your  reward  fin  a  voluntary 
humility  and  worshipping  ofangels,intruding  into  those  things 
'which  he  hath  not  seen,  vainly  puffed  up  by  his  fleshly  mind, 

19  And  not  holding  "'the  Head,  from  which  all  the  body 
by  joints  and  bands  having  nourishment  ministered,  and 
knit  together,  increaseth  with  the  increase  of  God. 

20  Wherefore  if  ye  be  "dead  with  Christ  from  "the  ||  rudi- 
ments of  the  world,  "why,  as  though  living  in  the  world,  are 
ye  subject  to  ordinances, 

21  ('Touch  not;  taste  not;  handle  not; 

22  Which  all  are  to  perish  with  the  using;)  'after  the  com- 
mandments and  doctrines  of  men  ? 

23  'Which    things   have    indeed  a  shew    of  wisdom    in 


26  even  the  mystery  which  hath  oeen  hid  'from  all  ages 
and  generations:  but  now  hath  it  been  manifested 

27  to  his  saints,  to  whom  God  was  pleased  to  make 
known  what  is  the  riches  of  the  glory  of  this  mys- 
tery among  the  Gentiles,  which  is  Christ  in  you,  the 

28  hope  of  glory :  whom  we  proclaim,  admonishing 
every  man  and  teaching  every  man  in  all  wisdom, 
that  we  may  present  every  man  perfect  in  Christ; 

29  whereunto  I  labour  also,  striving  according  to  his 
working,  which  worketh  in  me  'mightily. 

^  For  I  would  have  you  know  how  greatly  I  strive 
for  you,  and  for  them  at  La-od-i-ce'a,  and  for  as  many 

2 as  have  not  seen  my  face  in  the  flesh;  that  their 
hearts  may  be  comforted,  they  being  knit  together 
in  love,  and  unto  all  riches  of  the  'full  assurance  of 
understanding,  that  they  may  know  the  mystery  of 

3  God,  ^even  Christ,  in  whom  are  all  the  treasures  of 

4  wisdom  and  knowledge  hidden.  This  I  say,  that 
no   one    may   delude    you    with    persuasiveness  of 

5  speech.  For  though  I  am  absent  in  the  flesh,  yet 
am  I  with  you  in  the  spirit,  joying  and  beholding 
your  order,  and  the  stedfastness  of  your  faith  in 
Christ. 

6  As  therefore  ye  received  Christ  Jesus  the  Lord,  so 

7  walk  in  him,  rooted  and  builded  up  in  him,  and 
stablished  'in  your  faith,  even  as  ye  were  taught, 
abounding  "in  thanksgiving. 

8  'Take  heed  lest  there  shall  be  any  one  that  maketh 
spoil  of  you  through  his  philosophy  and  vain  deceit, 
after  the  tradition  of  men,  after  the  'rudiments  of  the 

9  world,  and  not  after  Christ :  for  in  him  dwelleth  all 

10  the  fulness  of  the  Godhead  bodily,  and  in  him  ye  are 
made  full,  who  is  the  head  of  all  principality  and 

11  power:  in  whom  ye  were  also  circumcised  with  a 
circumcision  not  made  with  hands,  in  the  putting 
off  of  the  body  of  the  flesh,  in  the  circumcision  of 

12 Christ;  having  been  buried  with  him  in  baptism, 
wherein  ye  were  also  raised  with  him  through  faith 
in  the  working  of  God,  who  raised  him  from  the 

13  dead.  And  you,  being  dead  through  your  tres- 
passes and  the  uncircumcision  of  your  flesh,  you,  / 
say,  did  he  quicken  together  with  him,  having  for- 

14 given  us  all  our  trespasses;  having  blotted  out  'the 
bond  written  in  ordinances  that  was  against  us, 
which  was  contrary  to  us:  and  he  hath  taken  it  out 

15  of  the  way,  nailing  it  to  the  cross;  "having  put  off 
from  himself  the  principalities  and  the  powers,  he 
made  a  show  of  them  openly,  triumphing  over  them 
in  it. 

16  Let  no  man  therefore  judge  you  in  meat,  or  in 
drink,  or  in  respect  of  a  feast  day  or  a  new  moon  or 

17  a  sabbath  day:  which  are  a  shadow  of  the  things  to 
18 come;  but  the  body  is  Christ's.     Let  no  man  rob 

you  of  your  prize  "by  a  voluntary  humility  and 
worshipping  of  the  angels,  'Mwelling  in  the  things 
which  he  hath  "seen,  vainly  puffed  up  by  his  fleshly 

19  mind,  and  not  holding  fast  the  Head,  from  Avhom 
all  the  body,  being  supplied  and  knit  together 
through  the  joints  and  bands,  increaseth  wim  the 
increase  of  God. 

20  If  ye  died  with  Christ  from  the  'rudiments  of  the 
world,  why,  as  though   living  in   the  world,  do  ye 

21  subject  yourselves   to  ordinances,   Handle   not,   nor 

22  taste,  nor  touch  (all  which  things  are  to  perish  with 
the  using^,  after  the  precepts  and  doctrines  of  men?

^ilI--wor8iiip,  and  humility,  and  ||  neglecting  of  the  body  ; 
not  in  any  nonour  to  the  satisfying  of  the  flesh. 
CHAPTKR  III. 

Exhortation  to  sundry  duties. 

IF   ye    then    °be    risen    -with    Christ,    seek    those    things 
■which  are  above,  where  'Christ  sitteth  on  the  right  hand 
of  God. 

2  Set  your  ||  affection  on  things  above,  not  on  things  on 
the  earth. 

3  "For  ye  are  dead,  ""and  your  life  is  hid  with  Christ  in  God. 

4  'When  Christ,  xcho  is  -^our  life,  shall  appear,  then  shall 
ye  also  appear  with  him  "in  glory. 

5  'Mortify  therefore  'your  members  which  are  upon  the 
earth;  'fornication,  uncleanness,  inordinate  affection,  'evil 
concupiscence,  and  covetousness,  "which  is  idolatry : 

6  "For  which  things'  sake  the  wrath  of  God  cometh  on 
"the  children  of  disobedience : 

7  'In  the  which  ye  also  walked  some  time,  when  ye  lived 
in  them. 

8  <^But  now  ye  also  put  off  all  these ;  anger,  wrath,  malice, 
blasphemy,  'filthy  communication  out  of  your  mouth. 

9  'Lie  not  one  to  another,  'seeing  that  ye  have  put  off  the 
old  man  with  his  deeds; 

10  And  have  put  on  the  new  man,  which  *is  renewed  in 
knowledge  ""after  the  image  of  him  that  "created  him: 

11  Where  there  is  neither  "Greek  nor  Jew,  circumcision 
nor  uncircumcision,  Barbarian,  Scyth'i-an,  bond  nor  free : 
"but  Christ  is  all,  and  in  all. 

12  'Put  on  therefore,  °as  the  elect  of  God,  holy  and  be- 
loved, ''bowels  of  mercies,  kindness,  humbleness  of  mind, 
meekness,  longsuffering ; 

13  'Forbearing  one  another,  and  forgiving  one  another,  if 
any  man  have  a  || quarrel  against  any:  even  as  Christ  for- 
gave you,  so  also  do  ye. 

14  •'And  above  all  these  things  'put  on  charity,  which  is 
the  *bond  of  perfectuess. 

15  And  let  'the  peace  of  God  rule  in  your  hearts,  *to  the 
which  also  ye  are  called  'in  one  body ;  "'and  be  ye  thankful. 

16  Let  the  word  of  Christdwell  in  you  richly  in  all  wisdom ; 
teaching  and  admonishing  one  another  "in  psalms  and  hymns 
and  spiritual  songs,  singing  "with  grace  in  your  hearts  to 
the  Lord. 

17  And''whatsoeveryedoin  word  or  deed,  do  all  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,'giving  thanks  to  God  and  the  Father  by  him. 

18  'Wives,  submit  yourselves  unto  your  own  husbands, 
'as  it  is  fit  in  the  Lord. 

19  'Husbands, love 2/0Mrwives,and be  nofbitteragainst them. 

20  "Children,  obey  your  parents  "in  all  things :  for  this  is 
well  pleasing  unto  the  Lord. 

21  'Fathers,  provoke  not  your  children  to  anger,  lest  they 
be  discouraged. 

22  "Servants,  obey  'in  all  things  your  masters  "according 
to  the  flesh ;  not  with  eyeservice,  as  menpleasers ;  but  in 
singleness  of  heart,  fearing  God: 

23  ''And  whatsoever  ye  do,  do  it  heartily,  as  to  the  Lord, 
and  not  unto  men  ; 

24  'Knowing  that  of  the  Lord  ye  shall  receive  the  reward 
of  the  inheritance :  •'^for  ye  serve  the  Lord  Christ. 

25  But  he  that  doeth  wrong  shall  receive  for  the  wrong 
which  he  hath  done:  and  "there  is  no  respect  of  persons. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

Fervent  prayer  recommended. 

MASTERS,  "give  unto  your  servants  that  which  is  just  and 
equal ;  knowing  that  ye  also  have  a  Master  in  heaven. 

2  'Continue  in  prayer,  and  watch  in  the  same  'with  thanks- 
giving; 

3  ''Withal  praying  also  for  us,  that  God  would  'open  unto 
us  a  door  of  utterance,  to  speak  'the  mystery  of  Christ,  "for 
which  I  am  abo  in  bonds: 


will-worship,  and  numility,  and  severity  to  the  body ; 
hut  are  not  of  any  'value  against  the  indulgence  of 
the  flesh. 

5  If  then  ye  were  raised  together  with  Christ,  seek 
the  things  that  are  above,  where  Christ  is,  seated  on 

2  the  right  hand  of  God.  Set  your  mind  on  the  things 
that  are  above,  not  on  the  things  that  are  upon  the 

3  earth.     For  ye  died,  and  your  life  is  hid  with  Chr.st 

4  in  God.  When  Christ,  who  is  'our  life,  shall  be 
manifested,  then  shall  ye  also  with  him  be  manifested 
in  glory. 

5  ^Mortify  therefore  your  members  which  are  upon 
the    earth;    fornication,    uncleanness,    passion,   evil 

6  desire,  and  covetousness,  the  which  is  idolatry ;  for 
which  things'  sake  cometh  the  wrath  of  God  *upon 

7 the  sons  of  disobedience;  'in  the  which  ye  also 
walked  aforetime,  when   ye   lived  in  these   things. 

8 But  now  put  ye' also  away  all  these;  anger,  wrath, 
malice,    railing,   shameful    speaking    out    of   your 

9  mouth :  lie  not  one  to  another ;  seeing  that  ye  have 

10  put  off  the  ol^  man  with  his  doings,  and  have  put 
on  the  new  /  man,  which  is  being  renewed  unto 
knowledge   £^ter   the    image   of   him   that  created 

11  him:  where  jthere  cannot  be  Greek  and  Jew,  cir- 
cumcision apfd  uncircumcision,  barbarian,  Scyth'i-an, 
bondman,  frfeeman  :  but  Christ  is  all,  and  in  all. 

12  Put  on  therefore,  as  God's  elect,  holy  and  beloved, 
a  heart  of  compassion,  kindness,  humility,  meekness, 

13  longsuffering;  forbearing  one  another,  and  forgiving 
each  other,  ii"  any  man  have  a  complaint  against  any ; 

14 even  as  Hhe.Lord  forgave  you,  so  also  do  ye:  and 
above  all  th^se  things  put  on  love,  which  is  the  bond 

15  of  perfectne^s.  And  let  the  peace  of  Christ  'rule  in 
your  hearts,  to  the  which  also  ye  were  called  in  one 

16 body;  and  be  ye  thankful.  Let  the  word  of  ^Christ 
dwell  in  you  richly  in  all  wisdom;  teaching  and 
admonishing  'one  another  with  psalms  and  hymns 
and  spiritual   songs,  singing   with    grace    in    your 

17  hearts  unto  God.  And  whatsoever  ye  do,  in 
word  or  in  deed,  do  all  in  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Jesus,  giving  thanks  to  God  the  Father  through 
him. 

18  Wives,  be  in  subjection  to  your  husbands,  as  is 

19  fitting  in  the  Lord.     Husbands,  love  your  wives, 

20  and  be  not  bitter  against  them.  Children,  obey  your 
parents  in  all  things,  for  this  is  well-pleasing  in  the 

21  Lord.     Fathers,   provoke    not    your  children,  that 

22  they  be  not  discouraged.  '"Servants,  obey  in  all 
things  them  that  are  your  "masters  according  to  the 
flesh ;    not  with  eyeservice,  as  men-pleasers,  but  in 

23 singleness  of  heart,  fearing  the  Lord:  whatsoever 
ye  do,  work    '^heartily,  as  unto  the  Lord,  and   not 

24 unto  men;  knowing  that  from  the  Lord  ye  shall 
receive  the  recompense  of  the  inheritance :  ye  serve 

25  the  Lord  Christ.  For  he  that  doeth  wrong  shall 
J  '^receive  again  for  the  wrong  that  he   hath   done : 

■^and  there  is  no  respect  of  persons.  "Masters,  ren- 
der unto  your  '"servants  that  which  is  just  and 
'^equal ;  knowing  that  ye  also  have  a  Master  in 
heaven. 

2  Continue  stedfa.stly   in   prayer,  watching   therein 

3  with  thanksgiving ;  withal  praying  for  us  also,  that 
God  may  open  unto  us  a  door  <br  the  word,  to  speak 
the  mystery  of  Christ,  for  which  I  am  also  in  bonds ;

6  ourselves  toward  you  for  your  sake.  And  ye  be- 
came imitators  of  us,  and  of  the  Lord,  having  re- 
ceived the  word  in  much  affliction,  with  joy  of  the 

7  'Holy  Ghost ;   so  that  ye  became  an  ensample  to  all 

8  that  believe  in  Mac-e-do'ni-a  and  in  A-cha'ia.  For  from 
you  hath  sounded  forth  the  word  of  the  Ijord,  not 
only  in  Mac-e-do'ni-a  and  A-cha'ia,  but  in  everyplace

your  iaitn  to  <(jfoa-wara  is  spread  aoroaa :  so  tnat  we  need 
not  to  speak  anytfling, 

9  For  they  themselves  shew  of  us  'what  manner  of  enter- 
ing in  we  had  unto  you,  ''and  how  ye  turned  to  God  from 
idols  to  serve  the  living  and  true  God ; 

10  And  'to  wait  for  his  Son  'from  heaven,  "whom  he  raised 
from  the  dead,  even  Jesus,  which  delivered  us  'from  the 
wrath  to  come. 

CHAF-TER    II. 

Now  they  received  the  gospel. 

Ij^OR  "yourselves,  brethren,  know  our  entrance  in  unto 
-    you,  that  it  was  not  in  vain : 

2  But  even  after  that  we  had  suffered  before,  and  were 
shamefully  entreated,  as  ye  know,  at  Phi-lip'pi,  'we  were 
bold  in  our  God  ''to  speak  unto  you  the  gospel  of  God  'with 
mucji  contention. 

3  -^For  our  exhortation  was  not  of  deceit,  nor  of  unclean- 
ness,  nor  in  guile : 

4  But  as  'we  were  allowed  of  God  *to  be  put  in  trust  with 
the  gospel,  even  so  we  speak ;  'not  as  pleasing  men,  but  God, 
*which  trieth  our  hearts. 

5  For  'neither  at  any  time  used  we  flattering  words,  as  ye 
know,  nor  a  cloak  of  covetousness;  "'God  is  witness: 

6  "Nor  of  men  sought  we  glory,  neither  of  you,  nor  yet  of 
others,  when  "we  might  have  Hbeen  "burdensome,  'as  the 
apostles  of  Christ. 

7  But  'we  were  gentle  among  you,  even  as  a  nurse  cher- 
isheth  her  children: 

8  So  being  affectionately  desirous  of  you,  we  were  willing 
'to  have  imparted  unto  you,  not  the  gospel  of  God  only, 
but  also  'our  own  souls,  because  ye  were  dear  unto  us. 

9  For  ye  remember,  brethren,  our  labour  and  travail :  for 
laboviriug  night  and  day,  "'becau.se  we  would  not  be  charge- 
able unto  any  of  you,  we  preached  unto  you  the  gospel  of  God. 

10  "Ye  are  witnesses,  and  God  aho,  'how  holily  and  justly 
and  unblameably  we  behaved  ourselves  among  you  that 
believe : 

11  As  ye  know  how  we  exhorted  and  comforted  and 
charged  every  one  of  you,  as  a  father  doth  his  children, 

12  "That  ye  would  walk  worthy  of  God,  Nvho  hath  called 
you  unto  his  kingdom  and  glory. 

13  For  this  cause  also  thank  we  God  "without  cea.sing, 
because,  when  ye  received  the  word  of  God  which  ye  heard 
of  us,  ye  received  it,  ''not  as  the  word  of  men,  but,  as  it  is 
in  truth,  the  word  of  God,  which  effectually  worketh  also  in 
you  that  believe. 

14  For  ye,  brethren,  became  followers  'of  the  churches  of 
God  which  in  Ju-de'a  are  in  Christ  Jesus;  for  •'ye  also  have 
•suffered  like  things  of  your  own  countrymen,  'even  as  they 
have  of  the  Jews: 

15  *'\Vho  both  killed  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  'their  own 
prophets,  and  have  || persecuted  us;  and  they  please  not 
God,  'and  are  contrary  to  all  men : 

16  'Forbidding  us  to  speak  to  the  Gentiles  that  they 
might  be  saved,  "to  fill  up  their  sins  always:  for  "the 
wrath  is  come  upon  them  to  the  uttermost. 

17  But  we,  brethren,  being  taken  from  you  for  a  short 
time,  "in  presence,  not  in  heart,  endeavoured  the  more  abun- 
dantly 'to  see  your  face  with  great  desire. 

18  Wherefore  we  would  have  come  unto  you,  even  I  Paul, 
once  and  again;  but  'Sa'fan  hindered  us. 

19  For  ""what  is  our  hope,  or  joy,  or  'crown  of  || rejoicing? 
Are  not  even  ye  in  the  presence  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
'at  his  coming? 

20  For  ye  are  our  glory  and  joy. 

CHAPTER    III. 

H^hy  Paul  sent   Timotheus    to   them. 

WHEREFORE,  "when  we  could  no  longer  forbear,  *we 
thought  it  good  to  be  left  at  Ath'ens  alone ; 


your  faith  to  Goo-ward  is  gone  tbrth ;  so  that  we 
9  need  not  to  speak  anything.  For  they  themselves 
report  concerning  us  what  manner  of  entering  in  we 
had  unto  you ;  and  how  ye  turned  unto  God  from 
10  idols,  to  serve  a  living  and  true  God,  and  to  wait  for 
his  Son  from  heaven,  whom  he  raised  from  the  dead, 
even  Jesus,  which  delivereth  us  from  the  wrath  to 
come. 

^     For  yourselves,  brethren,  know  our  entering  in 
2 unto  you,   that  it   hath    not   been  found  vain:  but 
having   suffered   before,    and   been    shamefully    en- 
treated, as  ye  know,  at  Phi-lip'pi,  we  waxed  bold  in 
our  God  to  speak  unto  you  the  gospel  of  God  in 
3  much  conflict.     For  our  exhortation  is  not  of  error, 
'4  nor  of  uncleanness,   nor  in  guile :   but  even  as  we 
have  been  approved  of  God  to  be  intrusted  with  the 
gospel,  so  we  speak ;  not  as  pleasing  men,  but  God 

5  which  proveth  our  hearts.  For  neither  at  any  time 
were  we  found  using  words  of  flattery,  as  ye  know, 

6  nor  a  cloke  of  covetousness,  God  is  witness ;  nor 
seeking  glory  of  men,  neither  from  you,  nor  from 
others,  when  we  might  have  'been  burdensome,  as 

7  apostles  of  Christ.  But  we  were  ^gentle  in  the 
midst  of  you,  as  when  a  nurse  cherisheth  her  own 

8 children:  even  so,  being  affectionately  desirous  of 
you,  we  were  well  pleased  to  impart  unto  you,  not 
the  gospel  of  God  only,  but  also  our  own  souls,  be- 

9cau'"'  ye  were  become  very  dear  to  us.     For  ye  re 
member,  brethren,  our  labour  and  travail:  working 
night  and  day,  that  we  might  not  burden  any  of  you, 

10  we  preached  unto  you  the  gospel  of  God.  Ye  are 
witnesses,  and  God  aho,  how  holily  and  righteously 
and  unblameably  Ave  behaved  ourselves  toward  you 

11  that  believe:  as  ye  know  bow  we  dealt  with  each 
one  of  you,  as  a  father  with  his  own  children  ex- 
horting you,  and  encouraging  you,  and  testifying,  to 

12  the  end  that  ye  should  walk  worthily  of  God,  who 
'calleth  you  into  his  own  kingdom  and  glory. 

13  And  for  this  cause  we  also  thank  God  without 
ceasing,  that,  when  ye  received  from  us  Hhe  word 
of  the  message,  even  the  word  of  God,  ye  accepted 
it  not  as  the  word  of  men,  but  as  it  is  in  truth,  the 
word  of  God,  which  also   worketh  in  you  that  be 

141ieve.  For  ye,  brethren,  became  imitators  of  the 
churches  of  God  which  are  in  Ju-dse'a  in  Christ 
Jesus :  for  ye  also  sufifered  the  same  things  of  your 
own  countrymen,  even  as  they  did  of  the  Jews; 

15  who  both  killed  the  Lord  Jesus  and  the  prophets, 
and  drave  out  us,  and  please  not  God,  and  are  con- 

IGtrary  to  all  men;  forbidding  us  to  speak  to  the 
Gentiles  that  they  may  be  saved;  to  fill  up  their 
sins  alway :  but  the  wrath  is  come  upon  them  to  the 
uttermost. 

17  But  we,  brethren,  being  bereaved  of  you  for  "a 
short  season,  in  presence,  not  in  heart,  endeavoured 
the  more   exceedingly   to  see  your  face  with  great 

18 desire:  because  we  would  fain  have  come  unto  you, 

191  Paul  once  and  again;  and  Sa'tan  hindered  us. 
For  what  is.  our  hoj>e,  or  joy,  or  crown  of  glorying? 
Are  not  even  ye,  before  our  Lord  Jesus  at  his  'com 

20ing?     For  ye  are  our  glory  and  our  joy. 

O  Wherefore  when  we  could  no  longer  forbear,  we 
thought  it  good  to  be  left  behind  at  Ath'ens  alone ;

2  And  sent  "Ti-mo'the-us,  our  brother,  and  minister  of  God, 
and  our  fellow  labourer  in  the  gospel  of  Christ  to  establish 
you  and  to  comfort  you  concerning  your  faith : 

3  ""That  no  man  should  be  moved  by  these  afflictions :  for 
yourselves  know  that  'we  are  appointed  thereunto. 

4  -^For  verily,  when  we  were  with  you,  we  told  you  before 
that  we  should  suffer  tribulation ;  even  as  it  came  to  pass, 
and  ye  know. 

5  For  this  cause,  "when  I  could  no  longer  forbear,  I  sent 
to  know  your  faith,  'lest  by  some  means  the  tempter  have 
tempted  you,  and  'our  labour  be  in  vain. 

6  'But  now  when  Ti-mo'the-us  came  from  you  unto  us,  and 
brought  us  good  tidings  of  your  faith  and  charity,  and  that 
ye  have  good  remembrance  of  us  always,  desiring  greatly  to 
see  us,  'as  we  also  to  see  you : 

7  Therefore,  brethren,  "we  were  comforted  over  you  in  all 
our  affliction  and  distress  by  your  faith : 

8  For  now  we  live,  if  ye  "stand  fast  in  the  Lord. 

9  "For  what  thanks  can  we  render  to  God  again  for  you, 
for  all  the  joy  wherewith  we  joy  for  your  sakes  before  our 
God; 

10  "Night  and  day  'praying  exceedingly  "^that  we  might 
see  your  face,  'and  might  perfect  that  which  is  lacking  in 
your  faith  ? 

11  Now  God  himself  and  our  Father,  and  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  1 1 'direct  our  way  unto  you. 

12  And  the  Lord  "make  you  to  increase  and  abound  in 
love  "'one  toward  another,  and  toward  all  men,  even  as  we 
do  toward  you : 

13  To  the  end  he  may  "stablish  your  hearts  unblameable 
in  holiness  before  God,  even  our  Father,  at  the  coming  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  'with  all  his  saiuts. 

CHAPTER    IV. 

0/  the  yfsurrection. 

FURTHERMORE  then  we  ||  beseech  you,  brethren,  and 
II  exhort  you  by  the  Lord  Jesus,  "that  as  ye  have  re- 
ceived of  us  'how  ye  ought  to  walk  "and  to  please  God,  so 
ye  would  abound  more  and  more. 

2  For  ye  kno\y  what  commandments  we  gave  you  by  the 
Lord  Jesus. 

3  For  this  is  ''the  will  of  God,  even  'your  sanctification, 
^tbat  ye  should  abstain  from  fornication  : 

4  "That  every  one  of  you  should  know  how  tj  possess  his 
vessel  in  sanctification  and  honour; 

5  ''Not  in  the  lust  of  concupiscence,  'even  as  the  Gentiles 
*which  know  not  God : 

6  'That  no  man  go  beyond  and  ||  defraud  his  brother  ||in 
any  matter :  because  that  the  Lord  "'is  the  avenger  of  all 
such,  as  we  also  have  forewarned  you  and  testified. 

7  For  God  hath  not  called  us  unto  uncleanness,  "but  unto 
holiness. 

8  "He  therefore  that  ||despiseth,  despiseth  not  man  but 
God,  "who  hath  also  given  unto  us  his  Holy  Spirit. 

9  But  as  touching  brotherly  love  'ye  need  not  that  I 
write  unto  you:  for  ''ye  yourselves  are  taught  of  God  'to 
love  one  another. 

10  'And  indeed  ye  do  it  toward  all  the  brethren  which 
are  in  all  Mac-e-do'ni-a :  but  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  "that 
ye  increase  more  and  more ; 

1 1  And  that  ye  study  to  be  quiet,  and  'to  do  your  own 
business,  and  "to  work  with  your  own  hands,  as  we  com- 
manded you  ; 

12  "That  ye  may  walk  honestly  toward  them  that  are 
without,  and  that  ye  may  have  lack  ||  of  nothing. 

13  But  I  would  not  have  you  to  be  ignorant,  brethren, 
xsoncerning  them  which  are  asleep,  that  ye  sorrow  not, 
"even  as  others  'which  have  no  hope. 

14  For  "if  we  believe  that  Jesus  died  and  rose  again,  even 


2  and  sent  Tim'o-thy,  our  brother  and  'God's  minister 
in  the  gospel  of  Christ,  to  establish  you,  and  to  com- 

3  fort  you  concerning  your  faith ;  that  no  man  be  moved 
by  these  afflictions;  for  yourselves  know  that  here- 

4  unto  we  are  appointed.  For  verily,  when  we  were 
with  you,  we  told  you  ^beforehand  that  we  are  to 
suffer   affliction;    even  as   it  came   to  pass,  and  ye 

6  know.  For  this  cause  I  also,  when  I  could  no  longer 
forbear,  sent  that  I  might  know  your  faith,  lest  by 
any  means  the  tempter  had   tempted  you,  and  our 

6  labour  should  be  in  vain.  But  when  Tim'o-thy  came 
even  now  unto  us  from  you,  and  brought  us  glad 
tidings  of  your  faith  and  love,  and  that  ye  have  good 
remembrauce  of  us  always,  longing  to  see  us,  even 

7 as  we  also  to  see  you;  for  this  cause,  brethren,  we 
were  comforted  over  you  in  all  our  distress  and  af- 

8  fliction  through  your  faith :  for   now  we  live,  if  ye 

9  stand  fast  in  the  Lord.  For  what  thanksgiving  can 
we  render  again  unto  God  for  you,  for  all  the  joy 
wherewith  we  joy  for  your  sakes  before  our  God ; 

10  night  and  day  praying  exceedingly  that  we  may  see 
your  face,  and  may  perfect  that  which  is  lacking  in 
your  faith  ? 

11  Now  may  our  God  and  Father  himself,  and  our 

12  Lord  Jesus,  direct  our  way  unto  you :  and  the  Lord 
make  you  to  increase  and  abound  in  love  one 
toward  another,  and  toward  all    men,  even    as   we 

13also  do  toward  you;  to  the  end  he  may  stablish  your 
hearts  unblameable  iu  holiness  before  our  God  and 
Father  at  the  'coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus  with  all 
his  saints.* 

^  Finally  then,  brethren,  we  beseech  and  exhort 
you  in  the  Lo-rd  Jesus,  that,  as  ye  received  of  us 
how  ye  ought  to  walk  and  to  please  God,  even  as 

2  ye  do  walk, — that  ye  abound  more  and  more.  For 
ye    know   what  "charge  we  gave   you  through   the 

3  Lord  Jesus.     For  this  is  the  will  of  God,  even  your 

4  san'^tification,  that  ye  abstain  from  fornication  ;  that 
each  one  of  you  know  how  to  possess  himself  of 

5  his  oAvn  vessel  iu  sanctification  and  honour,  not  in 
the  passion  of  lust,  even  as  the  Gentiles  which  know 

6  not  God ;  that  no  man  'transgress,  and  wrong  his 
brother  in  the  matter:  because  the  Lord  is  an 
avenger  in  all  these  things,  as  also  M'e  "forewarned 

7  you  and  testified.     For  God  called  us  not  for  un- 

8  cleanness,  but  in  sanctification.  Therefore  he  that 
rejecteth,  rejecteth  not  man,  but  God,  who  giveth 
his  Holy  Spirit  uuto  you. 

9  But  concerning  love  of  the  brethren  ye  have  no 
need  that  one  write  uuto  you :  for  ye  yourselves  are 

lOtaught  of  God  to  love  one  another;  for  indeed  ye 
do  it  toward  all  the  brethren  which  are  in  all  Mace- 
donia.    But  we  exhort  you,  brethren,  that  ye  abound 

1 1  more  and  more ;  and  that  ye  'study  to  be  quiet,  and 
to  do  your  own   business,  and  to   work  with  your 

12hand.s,  even  as  we  charged  you;  that  ye  may  walk 
honestly  toward  them  that  are  without,  and  may 
have  need  of  nothing. 

13  But  we  would  not  have  you  ignorant,  brethren, 
concerning   them  that   fall   asleep;   that  ye  sorrow 

14  not,  even  as  the  rest,  whi<;h  have  no  hope.  For 
if  we  believe  that  Jesus  died  and  rose  again,  even

•''that  we  which  are  alive  and  remain  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord  shall  not  prevent  them  which  are  asleep.

a  shout,  with  the  voice  of  the  archangel,  and  with  Hhe

CHAPTER   V. 

0/  Chrises  second  coming. 

BUT  of  "the  times  and  the   seasons,  brethren,  'ye  have 
no  need  that  I  write  unto  you. 

2  For  yourselves  know  perfectly  that  ''the  day  of  the 
Lord  so  Cometh  as  a  thief  in  the  night. 

3  For  when  they  shall  say.  Peace  and  safety  ;  then  ''sudden 
destruction  cometh  upon  them,  *as  travail  upon  a  woman 
with  child ;  and  they  shall  not  escape. 

4  -'^But  ye,  brethren,  are  not  in  darkness,  that  that  day 
should  overtake  you  as  a  thief.  - 

6  Ye  are  all  "the  children  of  light,  and  the  children  of  the 
day :  we  are  not  of  the  night,  nor  of  darkness. 

6  ''Therefore  let  us  not  sleep,  as  do  others;  but  'let  us 
watch  and  be  sober. 

7  For  *they  that  sleep  sleep  in  the  night ;  and  they  that 
be  drunken  'are  drunken  in  the  night. 

8  But  let  us,  who  are  of  the  day,  be  sober,  ""putting  on 
the  breastplate  of  faith  and  love;  and  for  a  helmet,  the 
hope  of  salvation. 

9  For  "God  hath  not  appointed  us  to  wrath,  "but  to  obtain 
salvation  by  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

10  ''Who  died  for  us,  that,  whether  we  wake  or  sleep,  we 
should  live  together  with  him. 

11  'Wherefore  ||  comfort  yourselves  together,  and  edify 
one  another,  even  as  also  ye  do. 

12  And  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  'to  know  them  which 
labour  among  you,  and  are  over  you  in  the  Lord,  and 
admonish  you; 

13  And  to  esteem  them  very  highly  in  love  for  their  work's 
sake.     'And  be  at  peace  among  yourselves. 

14  Now  we  II  exhort  you,  brethren,  'warn  them  that  are 
II  unruly,  "comfort  the  feebleminded,  "'support  the  weak,  "be 
patient  toward  all  men. 

15  'See  that  none  render  evil  for  evil  unto  any  man;  but 
ever  "follow  that  which  is  good,  both  among  yourselves, 
and  to  all  men. 

16  ''Rejoice  evermore. 

17  "Pray  without  ceasing. 

18  ''In  every  thing  give  thanks:  for  this  is  the  will  of  God 
in  Christ  Jesus  concerning  you.

23  And  *the  very  God  of  peace  'sanctify  you  wholly ;  and  1 
pray  God  your  whole  spirit  and  soul  and  body  "'be  pre- 
served blameless  unto  the  coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

24  "Faithful  is  he  that  calleth  you,  who  also  will  do  it. 

25  Brethren,  "pray  for  us. 

26  "Greet  all  the  brethren  with  a  holy  kiss. 

27  I  II  charge  you  by  the  Lord  that  this  "epistle  be  read 
unto  all  the  holy  brethren. 

28  'The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you.  Amen. 
1[The  first  epistle  unto  the  Thessalonians  was  written  from  Athens. 


SO  them  also  that  are  fallen  asleep  'in  Jesus  will  God 

15  bring  with  him.  For  this  we  say  unto  you  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  that  we  that  are  alive,  that  are  left 
unto  the  ^coming  of  the  Lord,  shall  in  no  wise  pre- 

16  cede  them  that  are  fallen  asleep.  For  the  Lord 
himself  shall  descend  from  heaven,  with  a  shout, 
with  the  voice  of  the  archangel,  and  with  the  trump 

17  of  God :  and  the  dead  in  Christ  shall  rise  first:  then 
we  that  are  alive,  that  are  left,  shall  together  with 
them  be  caught  up  in  the  clouds,  to  meet  the 
Lord  in  the  air:    and  so  shall  we  ever  be  with  the 

18  Lord.  Wherefore  'comfort  one  another  with  these 
words. 

V  But  concerning  the  times  and  the  seasons,  breth- 
ren, ye  have  no  need  that  aught  be  written  unto  you. 

2  For  yourselves  know  perfectly  that  the  day  of  the 

3  Lord  so  cometh  as  a  thief  in  the  night.  Wheri  they 
are  saying.  Peace  and  safety,  then  sudden  destruc- 
tion cometh  upon  them,  as  travail  upon  a  woman 

4 with  child;  and  they  shall  in  no  wise  escape.  But 
ye,  brethren,  are  not  in  darkness,  that  that  day  should 

5  overtake  you  *as  a  thief:  for  ye  are  all  sons  of  light; 
and  sons  of  the  day :   we  are  not  of  the  night,  nor 

6  of  darkness;  so  then  let  us  not  sleep,  as  do  the  rest, 

7  but  let  us  watch  and  be  sober.  For  they  that  sleep 
sleep  in  the  night;  and  they  that  be  drunken  are 

8  drunken  in  the  night.  But  let  us,  since  we  are  of 
the  day,  be  sober,  putting  on  the  breastplate  of  faith 
and  love;  and  for  a  helmet,  the  hope  of  salvation. 

9  For  God  appointed  us  not  unto  wrath,  but  unto  the 
obtaining  ofsalvation  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

10  who  died  for  us,  that,  whether  we  "wake  or  sleep,  we 

11  should  live  together  with  him.  Wherefore  'exhort 
one  another,  and  build  each  other  up,  even  as  also 
ye  do. 

1 2  But  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  to  know  them  that 
labour  among  you,  and  are  over  you  in  the  Lord, 

13  and  admonish  you ;  and  to  esteem  them  exceeding 
highly  in  love  for  their  work's  sake.     Be  at  peace 

14  among  yourselves.  And  we  exhort  you,  brethren, 
admonish  the  disorderly,  encourage  the  fainthearted, 

15  support  the  weak,  be  longsuffering  toward  all.  See 
that  none  render  unto  any  one  evil  for  evil;  but 
alway  follow  after  that  which  is  good,  one  toward  an- 

}? other  and  toward  all.     Rejoice  alway;   pray  without 

18  ceasing;  in  everything  give  thanks:  for  this  is  the  will 

19  of  God  in  Christ  Jesus  to  you- ward.    Quench  not  the 
U  Spirit ;  despise  not  prophesyings ;  ^prove  all  things ; 

22 hold  fast  that  which  is  good:  abstain  from  every 
*form  of  evil. 

23  And  the  God  of  peace  himself  sanctify  you  wholly ; 
and  may  your  spirit  and  soul  and  body  be  preserved 
entire,  without  blame  at  the  'coming  of  our  Lord 

24  Jesus  Christ.  Faithful  is  he  that  calleth  you,  who 
will  also  do  it. 

25  Brethren,  pray  for  us.'" 
P      Salute  all  the  brethren  with  a  holy  kiss.     I  adjure 

you  by  the  Lord  that  this  epistle  be  read  unto  all 
the  "brethren.

THE 

SECOND  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

THESSALONIANS. 

CHAPTKR    I. 

Paul*s  comfort  against  persecution. 

PAUL,  "and  Sil-va'nus,  and  Ti-mo'the-us,  unto  the  church 
of  the  Thes-sa-lo'ni-ans  *in  God  our  Father  and  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ: 

2  "Grace  unto  you,  and  peace,  from  God  our  Father  and 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

3  ''We  are  bound  to  thank  God  always  for  you,  brethren, 
as  it  is  meet,  because  that  your  faith  groweth  exceedingly, 
and  the  charity  of  every  one  of  you  all  toward  each  other 
aboundeth ; 

4  So  that  'we  ourselves  glory  in  you  in  the  churches  of 
God,  ■''for  your  patience  and  faith  "in  all  your  persecutions 
and  tribulations  that  ye  endure: 

5  Which  is  ''a  manifest  token  of  the  righteous  judgment 
of  God,  that  ye  may  be  counted  worthy  of  the  kingdom  of 
God,  'for  which  ye  also  suffer: 

6  *Seeing  it  is  a  righteous  thing  with  God  to  recompense 
tribulation  to  them  that  trouble  you ; 

7  And  to  you  who  are  troubled  'rest  with  us,  when  "the 
Lord  Jesus  shall  be  revealed  from  heaven  with  fhis  mighty 
angels, 

8  "In  flaming  fire  1|  taking  vengeance  on  them  "that  know 
not  God,  and  "that  obey  not  the  gospel  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ: 

9  "Who  shall  be  punished  with  everlasting  destruction  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord,  and  'from  the  glory  of  his  power ; 

10  'When  he  shall  come  to  be  glorified  in  his  saints,  'and 
to  be  admired  in  all  them  that  believe  (because  our  testi- 
mony among  you  was  believed)  in  that  day. 

11  Wherefore  also  we  pray  always  for  you,  that  our 
God  would  II  "count  you  worthy  of  this  calling,  and  fulfil  all 
the  good  pleasure  of  his  goodness,  and  "the  work  of  faith 
with  power : 

12  "That  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  may  be  glorified 
in  you,  and  ye  in  him,  according  to  the  grace  of  our  God  and 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

CHAPTER    II. 

0/  steadfastness  in  the  truth. 

NOW  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  °by  the  coming  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,''and6i/ourgatheringtogether  unto  him, 

2  "That  ye  be  not  soon  shaken  in  mind,  or  be  troubled, 
neither  by  spirit,  nor  by  word,  nor  by  letter  as  from  us,  as 
that  the  day  of  Christ  is  at  hand. 

3  ''Let  no  man  deceive  you  by  any  means:  for  thai  day 
shall  not  come,  'except  there  come  a  falling  away  first,  and 
'that  man  of  sin  be  revealed,  "the  son  of  perdition ; 

4  Who  oppoeeth  and  *exalteth  himself  'above  all  that 
is  called  God,  or  that  is  worshipped ;  so  that  he  as  God 
sltteth  in  the  temple  of  God,  shewing  himself  that  he  is 
God. 

5  Remember  ye  not,  that,  when  I  was  yet  with  you,  I  told 
you  these  things? 

6  And  now  ye  know  what  |[  withholdeth  that  he  might 
be  revealed  in  his  time. 

7  For  *the  mystery  of  iniquity  doth  already  work:  only 
he  who  now  letteth  will  kt,  until  be  be  taken  out  of  the 
way. 

8  And  then  shall  that  Wicked  be  revealed,  'whom  the 
Lord  shall  consume  ""with  the  spirit  of  his  mouth,  and 
shall  destroy  "with  the  brightness  of  his  coming: 


THE 


SECOND  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 


TO  THE 


THESSALONIANS. 


*  Paul,  and  Sil-va'nus,  and  Tim'o-thy,  unto  the  church 
of  the  Thes-sa-lo'ni-ans  in  God  our  Father  and  the 

2  Lord  Jesus  Christ ;  Grace  to  you  and  peace  from 
God  the  Father  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

3  We  are  bound  to  give  thanks  to  God  alway  for 
you,  brethren,  even  as  it  is  meet,  for  that  your  faith 
groweth  exceedingly,  and  the  love  of  each  one  of 

4 you  all  toward  one  another  aboundeth;  oo  that  we 
ourselves  glory  in  you  in  the  churches  of  God  for 
your  patience  and  faith  in  all  your  persecutions  and 

5  in  the  afflictions  which  ye  endure ;  which  is  a  mani 
fest  token  of  the  righteous  judgement  of  God;    to 
the  end  that  ye  may  be  counted  worthy  of  the  king- 

6  dom  of  God,  for  which  ye  also  suffer :  if  so  be  that 
it  is  a  righteous  thing  with  God  to  recompense  afflic- 

7  tion  to  them  that  aiHict  you,  and  to  you  that  are 
afflicted  rest  with  us,  at  the  revelation  of  the  Lord 

8  Jesus  from  heaven  with  the  angels  of  his  power  in 
flaming  fire,  rendering  vengeance  to  them  that  know 
not  God,  and  to  them  that  obey  not  the  gospel  of 

9 our  Lord  Jesus:  who  shall  suffer  punishment,  even 
eternal  destruction  from  the  face  of  the  Lord  and 

10  from  the  glory  of  his  might,  when  he  shall  come  to 
be  glorified  in  his  saints,  and  to  be  marvelled  at  in 

.    all  them  that  believed  (because  our  testimony  unto 

11  you  was  believed)  in  that  day.  To  which  end  we 
also  pray  always  for  you,  that  our  God  may  count 
you  worthy  of  your  calling,  and  fulfil  every  'desire 
of  goodness  and  every  work  of  faith,  with  power; 

12  that  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  may  be  glorified  in 
you,  and  ye  in  him,  according  to  the  grace  of  our 
God  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

^  Now  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  'touching  the 
'coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  our  gathering 

2  together  unto  him ;  to  the  end  that  ye  be  not  quickly 
shaken  from  your  mind,  nor  yet  be  troubled,  either 
by  spirit  or  by  word,  or  by  epistle  as  from  us,  as  that 

3  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  now  present ;  let  no  man  be- 
guile you  in  any  wise :  for  it  will  not  be,  except  the 
falling  away  come  first,  and  the  man  of  ^sin  be  re- 

4vealed,  the  son  of  perdition,  he  that  opposeth  and 
exalteth  himself  against  all  that  is  called  God  or 
'that  is  worshipped ;  so  that  he  sitteth  in  the  ''temple 

5  of  God,  setting  himself  forth  as  God.  Remember 
ye  not,  that,  when  I  was  yet  with  you,  I   told  you 

6 these  things?  And  now  ye  know  that  which  re- 
straineth,  to  the  end  that  he  may  be  revealed  in  his 

7  own  sea.son.  For  the  mystery  of  lawlessness  doth 
already  work :  'only  there  is  one  that  restraineth  now, 

8  until  he  be  taken  out  of  the  way.  And  then  shall 
be  revealed  the  lawless  one,  whom  the  Lord  *Jesus 
shall  'slay  with  the  breath  of  his  mouth,  and  bring 
to   nought    by   the    manifestation   of  his  'coming;

9  Even  him,  whose  coming  is  "after  the  working  of  Sa'tan 
with  all  power  and  "signs  and  lying  wonders, 

10  And  with  all  deceivableness  of  unrighteousness  in  'them 
that  perish ;  because  they  received  not  the  love  of  the  truth 
that  they  might  be  saved. 

1 1  And  'for  this  cause  God  shall  send  them  strong  delusion, 
'that  they  should  believe  a  lie : 

12  That  they  all  might  be  damned  who  believed  not  the 
truth,  but  'had  pleasure  in  unrighteousness. 

13  But  "we  are  bound  to  give  thanks  always  to  God  for 
you,  brethren  beloved  of  the  Lord,  because  God  'hath  "from 
the  beginning  chosen  you  to  salvation  "through  sanctifica- 
tion  of  the  Spirit  and  belief  of  the  truth: 

14  Whereunto  he  called  you  by  our  gospel,  to  "the  obtain- 
ing of  the  glory  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

15  Therefore,  brethren,  'staud  fast,  and  hold  'the  tradi- 
tions which  ye  have  been  taught,  whether  by  word,  or  our 
epistle. 

16  ''Now  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  himself,  and  God,  even 
our  Father,  'which  hath  loved  us,  and  hath  given  us  ever- 
lasting consolation  and  ■''good  hope  through  grace, 

17  Comfort  your  hearts,  'and  stablish  you  in  every  good 
word  and  work. 

CHAPTER    III. 

Divers  precepts  given  them. 

FINALLY,  brethren,  "pray  for  us,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  fmay  have//ee  course,  and  be  glorified,  even  as  it 
is  with  you : 

2  And  Hhat  we  may  be  delivered  from  funreasonable  and 
wicked  men :  "^for  all  men  have  not  faith. 

3  But  ''the  Lord  is  faithful,  who  shall  stablish  you,  and 
'keep  you  from  evil. 

4  And  ■'we  have  confidence  in  the  Lord  touching  you, 
that  ye  both  do  and  will  do  the  things  which  we  command 
you. 

5  And  "the  Lord  direct  your  hearts  into  the  love  of  God, 
and  II  into  the  patient  waiting  for  Christ. 

6  Now  we  command  you,  brethren,  in  the  name  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  *that  ye  withdraw  yourselves  'from 
every  brother  that  walketh  'disorderly,  and  not  after  'the 
tradition  which  he  received  of  us. 

7  For  yourselves  know  "how  ye  ought  to  follow  us:  for 
'we  behaved  not  ourselves  disorderly  among  you; 

8  Neither  did  we  eat  any  man's  bread  for  nought;  but 
"wrought  with  labour  and  travail  night  and  day,  that  we 
might  not  be  chargeable  to  any  of  you : 

9  "Not  because  we  have  not  power,  but  to  make  'our- 
selves an  ensample  unto  you  to  follow  us. 

10  For  even  when  we  were  with  you,  this  we  commanded 
you,  ""that  if  any  would  not  work,  neither  should  he  eat. 

11  For  we  hear  that  there  are  some  'which  walk  among 
you  disorderly,  'working  not  at  all,  but  are  busybodies. 

12  "Now  them  that  are  such  we  command  and  exhort  by 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  "'that  with  quietness  they  work,  and 
eat  their  own  bread. 

13  But  ye,  brethren,  "H  be  not  weary  in  well  doing. 

14  And  if  any  man  obey  not  our  word  ||  by  this  epistle, 
note  that  man,  and  "have  no  company  with  him,  that  he  may 
be  ashamed. 

15  "Yet  count  hivi  not  as  an  enemy,  'but  admonish  him 
as  a  brother. 

16  Now  "tlie  Lord  of  peace  himself  give  you  peace  always 
by  all  means.     The  Lord  be  with  you  all. 

17  ''The  salutation  of  Paul  with  mine  own  hand,  which  is 
the  token  in  every  epistle :  so  I  write. 

18  'The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you  all. 
Amen. 

%  The  second  epistle  to  the  Thessalonians  was  written  flrom  Athens. 


9  even  he,  whose  'coming  is  according  to  the  working 

of  Sa'tan  with  all  ^power  and  signs  and  lying  wonders, 
lOand  with  all  deceit  of  unrighteousness  for  them  that 

are  perishing;  because  they  received  not  the  love  of 
lithe  truth,  that  they  might  be  saved.     And  for  this 

cause  God  sendeth  them  a  working  of  error,  that 
12 they   should  believe  a  lie:   that  they  all  might  be 

judged  who  believed  not  the  truth,  but  had  pleasure 

in  unrighteousness.    • 

13  But  we  are  bound  to  give  thanks  to   God  alway 
for  you,  brethren  beloved  of  the  Lord,  for  that  God 
chose  you  'from    the  beginning   unto  salvation    ii 
sanctification  of  the  Spirit  and  'belief  of  the  truth 

14  whereunto  he  called  you  through  our  gospel,  to  the 
obtaining  of  the  glory  of  our  Lord  Jesus   Christ. 

15  So  then,  brethren,  stand  fast,  and  hold  the  traditions 
which  ye  were  taught,  whether  by  word,  or  by  epistle 
of  ours. 

16  Now  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  himself,  and  God  our 
Father   which   loved   us  and  gave  us  eternal  com- 

17  fort  and  good  hope  through  grace,  comfort  your 
hearts  and  stablish  them  in  every  good  work  and 
word. 

^     Finally,  brethren,  pray  for  us,  that  the  word  of  the 

Lord  may  run  and  be  glorified,  even  as  also  it  is  with 

2  you ;  and  that  we  may  be  delivered  from  unreason- 

3 able  and  evil  men;  for  all  have  not  "faith.     Qut  the 

Lord  is  faithful,  who  shall  stablish  you,  and  guard 

4  you  from  ''the  evil  one.  And  we  have  confidence  in 
the  Lord  touching  you,  that  ye  both  do  and  will  do 

5  the  things  which  we  command.  And  the  Lord  direct 
your  hearts  into  the  love  of  God,  and  into  the  patience 
of  Christ. 

6  Now  we  command  you,  brethren,  in  the  name  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  ye  withdraw  yourselves 
from  every  brother  that  walketh  disorderly,  and  not 

7  after  the  tradition  which  'they  received  of  us.  For 
yourselves  know  how  ye  ought  to  imitate  us:  for  we 

8  behaved  not  ourselves  disorderly  among  you ;  neither 
did  we  eat  bread  for  nought  at  any  man's  hand,  but 
in  labour  and  travail,  working  night  and  day,  that 

9  we  might  not  burden' any  of  you :    not  because  we 
■  have  not  the  right,  but  to  make  ourselves  an  ensam- 

10  pie  unto  you,  that  ye  should  imitate  us.  For  even 
when  we  were  with  you,  this  we  commanded  you, 

11  If  any  will  not  work,  neither  let  him  eat.  For  we 
hear  of  some  that  walk  among  you  disorderly,  that 

12  work  not  at  all,  but  are  busybodies.  Now  them  that 
are  such  we  command  and  exhort  in  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that  with  quietness  they  work,  and  eat  their 

13  own  bread.     But  ye,  brethren,  be  not  weary  in  well- 

14  doing.  And  if  any  man  obeyeth  not  our  word  by 
this  epi-stle,  note  that  man,  that  ye  have  no  company 

15  with  him,  to  the  end  that  he  may  be  ashamed.  And 
yet  count  him  not  as  an  enemy,  but  admonish  him 
as  a  brother. 

16  Now  the  Lord  of  peace  himself  give  you  peace 
at  all  times  in  all  ways.  The  Lord  be  with  you 
all. 

17  The  salutation  of  me  Paul  with  mine  own  hand, 

18  which  is  the  token  in  every  epistle:  so  I  write.  The 
grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you  all.

THE 

FIRST  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO 

TIMOTHY. 


CHAPTER    I. 

Paul  remindeth  Timothy  of  his  charge, 

PAUL,  an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ  "by  the  commandmeut  'of 
God  our  Saviour,  and  Lord  Jesus  Christ,'wAteA  is  our  hope ; 

2  Unto  ''Tim'o-thy,  'my  own  .son  in  the  faith:  -^Grace,  mercy, 
and  peace,  from  God  ouf  Father  and  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

3  As  I  besought  thee  to  abide  still  at  Eph'e-sus,  "when  I 
went  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  that  thou  mightest  charge  some 
*that  they  teach  no  other  doctrine, 

4  'Neither  give  heed  to  fables  and  endless  genealogies, 
*which  minister  questions  rather  than  godly  edifying  which 
is  in  faith :  so  do. 

5  Now  'the  end  of  the  commandment  is  charity  "out  of  a 
pure  heart,  and  of  a  good  conscience,  and  of  faith  unfeigned : 

6  From  Avhich  some  ||  having  swerved  have  turned  aside 
unto  "vain  jangling ; 

7  Desiring  to  be  teachers  of  the  law ;  "understanding  neither 
what  they  say,  nor  whereof  they  affirm. 

8  But  we  know  that  ''the  law  is  good,  if  a  man  use  it  lav/fully ; 

9  'Knowing  this,  that  the  law  is  not  made  for  a  righteous 
man,  but  for  the  lawless  and  disobedient,  for  the  ungodly 
and  for  sinners,  for  unholy  and  profane,  for  murderers  of 
fathers,  and  murderers  of  mothers,  for  manslayers, 

10  For  whoremongers,  for  them  that  defile  themselves  with 
mankind,  for  menstealers,  for  liars,  for  perjured  persons,  and 
if  there  be  any  other  thing  that  is  contrary  'to  sound  doctrine; 

11  According  to  the  glorious  gospel  of  'the  blessed  God, 
•which  was  committed  to  my  trust. 

12  And  I  thank  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord,  "who  hath  enabled 
me,  ""for  that  he  counted  me  faithful,  "putting  me  into  the 
ministry; 

13  'Who  was  before  a  blasphemer,  and  a  persecutor,  and 
injurious :  but  I  obtained  mercy,  because  "I  did  it  ignorantly 
in  unbelief. 

14  'And  the  grace  of  our  Lord  was  exceeding  abundant 
•with  faith  ''and  love  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

16  'This  is  a  faithful  saying,  and  worthy  of  all  acceptation, 
that  ^Christ  Jesus  came  into  the  world  to  save  sinners;  of 
whom  I  am  chief. 

16  Howbeit  for  this  cause  "I  obtained  mercy,  that  in  me 
first  Jesus  Christ  might  shew  forth  all  longsuffering,  *for  a 
pattern  to  them  which  should  hereafter  believe  on  him  to 
life  everlasting. 

17  Now  unto  *the  King  eternal,  *immortal,  'invisible,  "the 
only  wise  God,  'be  honour  and  glory  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

18  This  charge  °I  commit  unto  thee,  son  Tim'o-thy,  "ac- 
cording to  the  prophecies  which  went  before  on  thee,  that 
thou  by  them  mightest  'war  a  good  warfare; 

19  ''Holding  faith,  and  a  good  conscience;  which  some 
having  put  away,  concerning  faith  'have  made  shipwreck: 

20  Of  whom  is  'Hy-me-ne'us  and  "Al-ex-an'der ;  whom  I  have 
'delivered  unto  Sa'tan  ;  that  they  may  learn  not  to  "blaspheme. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Prayers  and  thanks  to  be  made  for  all  men. 

Ill  EXHORT  therefore,  that,  first  of  all,  supplications,  pray- 
ers, intercessions,  OTid  giving  of  thanks  be  made  for  all  men; 

2  "For  kings,  and  yor  all  that  are  in  ||authority;  thatwemay 
lead  a  quiet  and  peaceable  life  in  all  godliness  and  iionesty. 

3  For  this  is  "good  and  acceptable  in  the  sight  ''of  God  our 
Saviour ; 


THE 


FIRST  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 


TO 


TIMOTHY. 


-I  Paul,  an  apostle  of  Christ  Jesus  according  to  the 
commandment  of  God  our  Saviour,  and  Christ  Jesus 

2  our  hope ;  unto  Tim'o-thy,  my  true  child  in  faith : 
Grace,  mercy,  peace,  from  God  the  Father  and  Christ 
Jesus  our  Lord. 

3  As  I  exhorted  thee  to  tarry  at  Eph'e-sus,  when  I 
was  going  into  Mac-e-do'ni-a,  that  thou  mightest  charge 

4  certain  men  not  to  teach  a  different  doctrine,  neither 
to  give  heed  to  fables  and  endless  genealogies,  the 
which  minister  questionings,  rather  than  a  'dispen- 

5  sation  of  God  which  is  in  faith ;  so  do  I  noio.  But 
the  end  of  the  charge  is  love  out  of  a  pure  heart  and 

6a  good  conscience  and  faith  unfeigned:  from  which 
things  some  having  ^swerved  have  turned  aside  unto 

7 vain  talking;  desiring  to  be  teachers  of  the  law, 
though  they  understood  neither  what  they  say,  nor 

8  whereof  they  confidently  affirm.     But  we  know  that 

9  the  law  is  good,  if  a  man  use  it  lawfully,  as  knowing 
this,  that  law  is  not  made  for  a  righteous  man,  but 
for  the  lawless  and  unruly,  for  the  ungodly  and  sin- 
ners, for  the  unholy  and  profane,  for  'murderers  of 
fathers  and  'murderers  of  mothers,  for  manslayers, 

10  for  fornicators,  for  abusers  of  themselves  with  men, 
for  men-stealers,  for  liars,  for  false  swearers,  and  if 
there  be   any  other  thing  contrary   to  the   ''sound 

11 'doctrine;  according  to  the  gospel  of  the  glory  of 
the  blessed  God,  which  was  committed  to  my  trust. 

12  I  thank  him  that  'enabled  me,  even  Christ  Jesus 
our  Lord,  for  that  he  counted  me  faithful,  appoint- 

13  ing  me  to  his  service ;  though  I  was  before  a  blas- 
phemer, and  a  persecutor,  and  injurious :  howbeit  I 
obtained  mercy,  because  I  did  it  ignorantly  in  un- 

14  belief:  and  the  grace  of  our  Lord  abouHded  exceed- 
ingly with  faith  and  love  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

15  Faithful  is  the  saying,  and  worthy  of  all  accepta- 
tion, that  Christ  Jesus  came  into  the  world  to  save 

16 sinners;  of  whom  I  am  chief:  howbeit  for  this  cause 
I  obtained  mercy,  that  in  me  as  chief  might  Jesus 
Christ  shew  forth  all  his  longsuffering,  for  an  ensam- 
ple  of  them  which  should  hereafter  believe  on  him 

17  unto  eternal  life.  Now  unto  the  King  'eternal,  in- 
corruptible, invisible,  the  only  God,  be  honour  and 
glory  'for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

18  This  charge  I  commit  unto  thee,  my  child  Tim'o- 
thy,  according  to  the  prophecies  which  'went  before 
on  thee,  that  by   them  thou   mayest  war  the  good 

19  warfare;  holding  faith  and  a  good  conscience;  which 
some  having  thrust  from  them  made  shipwreck  con- 

20cerning  the  faith;  of  whom  is  Hy-me-nse'us  and 
Al-ex-an'der;  whom  I  delivered  uqto  Sa'tan,  that  they 
might  be  taught  not  to  blaspheme. 

^  I  exhort  therefore,  first  of  all,  "that  supplica- 
tions, prayers,  intercessions,  thanksgivings,  be  made 

2 for  all  men;  for  kings  and  all  that  are  in  high 
place;    that    we    may    lead    a    tranquil    and    quiet 

3  life  in  all  godliness  and  gravity.  This  is  good 
and  acceptable  in  the   sight  of  God   our  Saviour;

4  'Who  will  have  all  men  to  be  saved,  ^and  to  come  unto 
the  knowledge  of  the  truth. 

5  "For  there  is  one  God,  and  *one  mediator  between  God 
and  men,  the  man  Christ  Jesus ; 

6  'Who  gave  himself  a  ransom  for  all,  *||to  be  testified  'in 
due  time. 

7  "'Whereunto  I  am  ordained  a  preacher  and  an  apostle, 
("I  speak  the  truth  in  Christ,  and  lie  not,)  °a  teacher  of  the 
Gentiles  in  faith  and  verity. 

8  I  will  therefore  that  men  pray  ""every  where,  'lifting  up 
holy  hands,  without  wrath  and  doubting. 

9  In  like  manner  also,  that  ''women  adorn  themselves  in 
modest  apparel,  with  shamefacedness  and  sobriety ;  not  with 
braided  hair,  or  gold,  or  pearls,  or  costly  array ; 

10  'But  (which  becometh  women  professing  godliness) 
with  good  works. 

11  Let  the  woman  learn  in  silence  with  all  subjection. 

12  But  'I  suffer  not  a  woman  to  teach,  "nor  to  usurp 
authority  over  the  man,  but  to  be  in  silence. 

13  For  "Ad'am  was  first  formed,  then  Eve. 

14  And  "Ad'am  was  not  deceived,  but  the  woman  being 
deceived  was  in  the  transgression. 

15  Notwithstanding  she  shall  be  saved  in  childbearing, 
if  they  continue  in  faith  and  charity  and  holiness  with 
sobriety, 

CHAPTER    III. 

The  guali_fications  of  bishops^  etc. 

THIS  "18  a  true   saying,  If  a  man  desire  the  office  of  a 
'bishop,  he  desireth  a  good  "work. 

2  ''A  bishop  then  must  be  blameless,  'the  husband  of  one 
wife,  vigilant,  sober,  ||of  good  behaviour,  given  to  hospi- 
tality, •'^apt  to  teach ; 

3  "11  Not  given  to  wine,  *no  striker,  'not  greedy  of  filthy 
lucre ;  but  'patient,  iM)t  a  brawler,  not  covetous ; 

4  One  that  ruleth  well  his  own  house,  'having  his  children 
in  subjection  with  all  gravity ; 

5  (For  if  a  man  know  not  how  to  rule  his  own  house, 
how  shall  he  take  care  of  the  church  of  God  ?) 

6  Not  II  a  novice,  lest  being  lifted  up  with  pride  "he  fall 
into  the  condemnation  of  the  devil. 

7  Moreover  he  must  have  a  good  report  "of  them  which 
are  without;  lest  he  fall  into  reproach  "and  the  snare  of 
the  devil. 

8  Likewise  mud  ''the  deacons  he  grave,  not  double-tongued, 
"not  given  to  much  wine,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre  j 

9  'Holding  the  mystery  of  the  faith  in  a  pure  conscience. 

10  And  let  these  also  first  be  proved;  then  let  them  use 
the  ofiice  of  a  deacon,  being  found  blameless. 

11  'Even  so  must  their  wives  be  grave,  not  slanderers, 
sober,  faithful  in  all  things. 

12  Let  the  deacons  be  the  husbands  of  one  wife,  ruling 
their  children  and  their  own  houses  well. 

13  For  'they  that  have  ||used  the  office  of  a  deacon  well, 
purchase  to  themselves  a  good  degree,  and  great  boldness 
in  the  faith  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

14  These  things  write  I  unto  thee,  hoping  to  come  unto 
thee  shortly : 

15  But  if  I  tarry  long,  that  thou  may  est  know  how  thou 
oughtest  to  behave  thyself  "in  the  house  of  God,  which  is  the 
church  of  the  living  God,  the  pillar  and  ||  ground  of  the  truth. 

16  And  without  controversy  great  is  the  mystery  of  god- 
liness: ""God  was  fmanifest  in  the  flesh,  "justified  in  the 
Spirit,  "seen  of  angels,  "preached  unto  the  Gentiles,  'believed 
on  in  the  world,  "received  up  into  glory. 

CHAPTER     IV. 

A  great  apostasy  foretold. 

"\rOW  the  Spirit  "speaketh  expressly,  that  'in  the  latter 
-L>l  times  some  shall  dej>art  from  the  faith,  giving  heed  'to 
seducing  spirits,  ''and  doctrines  of  devils; 


4  who  willeth  that  all  men  should  be  saved,  and  come 

5  to  the  knowledge  of  the  truth.  For  there  is  one 
God,  one  mediator  also  between  God  and  men,  him- 

6  self  man,  Christ  Jesus,  who  gave  himself  a  ransom 
for  all ;  the  testimony  to  be  borne  in  its  own  times ; 

7  whereunto  I  was  appointed  a  'preacher  and  an  apos- 
tle (I  speak  the  truth,  I  lie  not),  a  teacher  of  the 
Gentiles  in  faith  and  truth. 

8  I  desire  therefore  that  the  men  pray  in  every 
place,  lifting  up  holy  hands,  without  wrath  and  Mis- 

9puting.     In  like  manner,  that  women  adorn  them- 
selves in  modest  apparel,  with    shamefastness  and 
sobriety ;  not  with  braided  hair,  and  gold  or  pearls  or 
10 costly  raiment;   but  (which  becometh  women  pro- 
llfessing    godliness)    through    good    works.     Let 

12  woman  learn  in  quietness  with  all  subjection.  But  I 
permit  not  a  woman  to  teach,  nor  to  have  dominion 

13  over  a  man,  but  to  be  in  quietness.     For  Ad'am  was 

14  first  formed,  then  Eve;  and  Ad'am  was  not  beguiled, 
but  the  woman  being  beguiled  hath  fallen  into  trans- 

ISgression:  but  she  shall  be  saved  through  'the  child- 
bearing,  if  they  continue  in  faith  and  love  and  sanc- 
tification  with  sobriety. 

O     ^Faithful  is  the  saying.  If  a  man  seeketh  the  office 

2  of  a  "bishop,  he  desireth  a  good  work.  The  ''bishop 
therefore  must  be  without  reproach,  the  husband  of 
one  wife,  temperate,  soberminded,  orderly,  given  to 

3  hospitality,   apt  to  teach ;   'no  brawler,  no  striker ; 
4 but  gentle,  not  contentious,  no  lover  of  money;  one 

that  ruleth  well  his  own  house,  having  his  children 

5  in  subjection  with  all  gravity;  (but  if  a  man  knoweth 
not  how  to  rule  his  own  house,  how  shall  he  take 

6  care  of  the  church  of  God  ?)  not  a  novice,  lest  being 
puffed  up  he  fall  into  the  "condemnation  of  the  devil. 

7  Moreover  he  must  have  good  testimony  from  them 
that  are  without ;  lest  he  fall  into  reproach  and  the 

8  snare  of  the  devil.  Deacons  in  like  manner  must 
be    grave,  not   doubletongued,  not   given   to    much 

9 wine,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre;  holding  the  mys- 

lOtery  of  the    faith   in  a   pure    conscience.     And  let 

these  also  first  be  proved ;  then  let  them  serve  as 

11  deacons,  if  they  be  blameless.  Women  in  like  man- 
ner must  be  grave,  not  slanderers,  temperate,  faithful 

12  in  all  things.     Let  deacons  be  husbands  of  one  wife, 

13  ruling  their  children  and  their  own  houses  well.  For 
they  that  have  served  well  as  deacons  gain  to  them- 
selves a  good  standing,  and  great  boldness  in  the 
faith  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

14  These  things  write  I  unto  thee,  hoping  to  come 

15  unto  thee  shortly;  but  if  I  tarry  long,  that  thou 
mayest  know  *how  men  ought  to  behave  themselves 
in  the  house  of  God,  which  is  the  church  of  the  liv- 

16ing  God,  the  pillar  and  'ground  of  the  truth.  And 
without  controversy  great  is  the  mystery  of  godli- 
ness; '"He  who  was  manifested  in  the  flesh,  justified 
in  the  spirit,  seen  of  angels,  preached  among  the 
nations,  believed  on  in  the  world,  received  up  in 
glory. 

^  But  the  Spirit  saith  expressly,  that  in  later 
times  some  shall  fall  away  from  the  faith,  giving 
heed  to  seducing  spirits  and  doctrines  of  "devils.

3  "Forbidding  to  marry,  ''and  commanding  to  abstain  from 
meats,  which  God  hath  created  'to  be  received  *with  thanks- 
giving of  them  which  believe  and  know  the  truth. 

4  For  'every  creature  of  God  is  good,  and  nothing  to  be

ample of  the  believers,  in  word,  in  conversation,  in  charity, 
in  spirit,  in  faith,  in  purity. 

13  Till  I  come,  give  attendance  to  reading,  to  exhortation, 
to  doctrine.

them;  that  thy  profiting  may  appear  ||to  all. 

16  'Take  heed  unto  thyself,  and  unto  the  doctrine;  con- 
tinue in  them :  for  in  doing  this  thou  shalt  both  'save  thy- 
self, and  "them  that  hear  thee. 

CHAPTER  V. 

0/  widows  and  elders, 

REBUKE  "not  an  elder,  but  entreat  him  as  a  Mher ;  and 
the  younger  men  as  brethren; 

2  The  elder  women  as  mothers;  the  younger  as  sisters, 
with  all  purity. 

3  Honour  widows  'that  are  widows  indeed. 

4  But  if  any  widow  have  children  or  nephews,  let  them 
learn  first  to  shew  ||  piety  at  home,  and  'to  requite  their 
parents :  ''for  that  is  good  and  acceptable  before  God. 

5  "Now  she  that  is  a  widow  indeed,  and  desolate,  trusteth 
in  God,  and  'continueth  in  supplications  and  prayers  "night 
and  day. 

6  *But  she  that  liveth  \\  in  pleasure  is  dead  while  she  liveth. 

7  'And  these  things  give  in  charge,  that  they  may  be 
blameless. 

8  But  if  any  provide  not  for  his  own,  and  *specially  for  those 
of  his  own  ||  house,  'he  hath  denied  the  faith,  ""and  is  worse 
than  an  infidel. 

9  Let  not  a  widow  be  ||  taken  into  the  number  under  three- 
score years  old,  "having  been  the  wife  of  one  man, 

10  Well  reported  of  for  good  works ;  if  she  have  brought 
up  children,  if  she  have  "lodged  strangers,  if  she  have 
"washed  the  saints'  feet,  if  she  have  relieved  the  afflicted, 
if  she  have  diligently  followed  every  good  work. 

11  But  the  younger  widows  refuse:  for  when  they  have 
begun  to  wax  wanton  against  Christ,  they  will  marry ; 

12  Having  damnation,  because  they  have  cast  off  their 
first  faith. 

13  'And  withal  they  learn  to  be  idle,  wandering  about  from 
house  to  house;  and  not  only  idle,  but  tattlers  also  and 
busybodies,  speaking  things  which  thay  ought  not. 

14  'I  will  therefore  tliat  the  younger  women  marry,  bear 
children,  guide  the  house,  'give  none  occasion  to  the  adver- 

isary  fto  speak  reproachfully. 


2  through  the  hypocrisy  of  men  that  speak  lies, 
'branded  in  their  own  conscience  as  with  a  hot  iron ; 

3  forbidding  to  marry,  and  commanding  to  abstain 
from  meats,  which  God  created  to  be  received  with 
thanksgiving  by  them  that  believe  and  know  the 

4  truth.  For  every  creature  of  God  is  good,  and 
nothing  is  to   be  rejected   if  it  be   received   with 

5  thanksgiving :  for  it  is  sanctified  through  the  word 
of  God  and  prayer. 

6  If  thou  put  the  brethren  in  mind  of  these  things, 
thou  shalt  be  a  good  minister  of  Christ  Jesus,  nour- 
ished in  the  words  of  the  faith,  and  of  the  good 

7 doctrine  which  thou   hast  followed  until  now:  but 

refuse  profane  and  old  wives'  fables.     And  exercise 

8 thyself  unto  godliness:  for  bodily  exercise  is  profit 

able,  ^for  a  little;  but  godliness  is  profitable  for  all 

things,  having  promise  of  the  life  which  now  is,  and 

9  of  that  which  is  to  come.     Faithful  is  the  saying, 

10 and  worthy  of  all  acceptation.     For  to  this  end  we 

labour  and  strive,  because  we  have  our  hope  set  on 

the  living   God,  who  is   the  Saviour  of  all   men 

1 1  specially  of  them  that  believe.     These  things  com- 

12mand  and   teach.     Let  no  man  despise  thy  youth; 

but  be  thou  an  ensample  to  them  that  believe,  in 

word,  in  manner  of  life,  in  love,  in  faith,  in  purity. 

13  Till  I  come,  give  heed  to  reading,  to  exhortation,  to 

14  teaching.  Neglect  not  the  gifl  that  is  in  thee,  which 
was  given  thee  by  prophecy,  with  the  laying  on  of 

15  the  hands  of  the  presbytery.  .Be  diligent  in  these 
things;  give  thyself  wholly  to  them;  that  thy  prog' 

IGress  may  be  manifest  unto  all.     Take  heed  to  thy 
self,  and  to  thy  teaching.    Continue  in  these  things ; 
for  in  doing  this  thou  shalt  save  both  thyself  and 
them  that  hear  thee. 

0     Eebuke  not  an  elder,  but  exhort  him  as  a  father ; 

2  the  younger  men  as  brethren :  the  elder  women  as 
mothers;    the    younger   as   sisters,    in    all    purity 

\  Honour  widows  that  are  widows  indeed.  But  if  any 
widow  hath  children  or  grandchildren,  let  them 
learn  first  to  shew  piety  towards  their  own  family, 
and  to  requite  their  parents ;  for  this  is  acceptable  in 

5  the  sight  of  God.  Now  she  that  is  a  widow  indeed, 
and  desolate,  hath  her  hope  set  on  God,  and  contin- 
ueth  in  supplications  and  prayers  night  and  day. 

6  But  she  that  giveth  herself  to  pleasure  is  dead  while 

7  she  liveth.     These  things  also  command,  that  they 

8  may  be  without  reproach.  But  if  any  provideth  not 
for  his  own,  and  specially  his  own  household,  he 
hath  denied  the  faith,  and  is  worse  than  an  unbe- 

91iever.  Let  none  be  enrolled  as  a  widow  under 
threescore  years  old,  having  been  the  wife  of  one 

10  man,  well  reported  of  for  good  works ;  if  she  hath 
brought  up  children,  if  she  hath  used  hospitality 
to  strangers,  if  she  hath  washejl  the  saints'  feet,  if 
she  hath  relieved  the  afflicted,  if  she  hath  diligently 

11  followed  ev«ry  good  work.  But  younger  widows 
refuse:  for  when  they  have  waxed  wanton  against 

12  Christ,  they  desire  to  marry,  having  condemnation, 

13  because  they  have  rejected  their  first  faith.  And 
withal  they  learn  also  to  be  idle,  going  about  from 
house  to  house;  and  not  only  idle,  but  tattlers, 
also,  and  busybodies,  speaking  things  which  they 

14  ought  not.  I  desire  therefore  that  the  younger 
^widows  marry,  bear  children,  rule  the  household, 
give  none  occasion  to  the  adversary  for  reviling:

15  For  some  are  already  turned  aside  after  Sa'tan. 

16  If  any  man  or  woman  that  believeth  have  widows,  let 
them  relieve  them,  and  let  not  the  church  be  charged;  that 
it  may  relieve  'them  that  are  widows  indeed. 

17  "Let  the  elders  that  rule  well  'be  counted  Avorthy  of 
double  honour,  especially  they  who  labour  in  the  word  and 
doctrine. 

18  For  the  Scripture  saith,  "Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the  ox 
that  treadeth  out  the  corn.  And,  'The  labourer  is  worthy 
of  his  reward. 

19  Against  an  elder  receive  not  an  accusation,  but  ||  "be- 
fore two  or  three  witnesses. 

20  'Them  that  sin  rebuke  before  all,'that  others  also  may  fear. 

21  ^1  charge  thee  before  God,  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and 
the  elect  angels,  that  thou  observe  these  things  ||  without 
preferring  one  before  another,  doing  nothing  by  partiality. 

22  'Lay  hands  suddenly  on  no  man, -'neither  be  partaker 
of  other  men's  sins :  keep  thyself  pure. 

23  Drink  no  longer  water,  but  use  a  little  wine  'for  thy 
stomach's  sake  and  thine  often  infirmities. 

24  ''Some  men's  sins  are  open  beforehand,  going  before  to 
judgment;  and  some  men  they  follow  after. 

25  Likewise  also  the  good  works  of  some  are  manifest  be- 
forehand; and  they  that  are  otherwise  cannot  be  hid. 

CHAPTER    VI. 

The  gain  of  godliness. 

LET  as  many  'servants  as  are  under  the  yoke  count  their 
own  masters  worthy  of  all  honour,  Hhat   the  name  of 
God  and  his  doctrine  be  not  blasphemed. 

2  And  they  that  have  believing  masters,  let  them  not  de- 
spise them,  "because  they  are  brethren ;  but  rather  do  them 
service,  because  they  are  ||  faithful  and  beloved,  partakers 
of  the  benefit.     ''These  things  teach  and  exhort. 

3  If  any  man  'teach  otherwise,  and  consent  ^not  to  whole- 
some words,  even  the  words  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  'and 
to  the  doctrine  which  is  according  to  godliness; 

4  He  is  II  proud,  *knowing  nothing,  but  jj  doting  about 
'questions  and  strifes  of  words,  whereof  cometh  envy,  strife, 
railings,  evil  surmisings, 

5  *||  rerverse  disputings  of  'men  of  corrupt  minds,  and 
destitute  of  the  truth,  ""supposing  that  gain  is  godliness : 
"from  such  withdraw  thyself. 

6  But  "godliness  with  contentment  is  great  gain. 

7  For  "we  brought  nothing  into  this  world,  and  it  is  cer- 
tain we  can  carry  nothing  out. 

8  And  'having  food  and  raiment,  let  us  be  therewith  content. 

9  But  ''they  that  will  be  rich  fall  into  temptation  'and  a 
snare,  and  into  many  foolish  and  hurtful  lusts,  'which  drown 
men  in  destruction  and  perdition. 

10  "For  the  love  of  money  is  the  root  of  all  evil :  which 
while  some  coveted  after,  they  have  ||  erred  from  the  faith, 
and  pierced  themselves  through  with  mauy  sorrows. 

11  'But  thou,  "O  man  of  God,  flee  these  things;  and  follow 
after  righteousness,  godliness,  faith,  love,  patience,  meekness. 

12  "Fight  the  good  fight  of  faith,  "lay  hold  on  eternal  life, 
whereunto  thou  art  also  called,  ""and  hast  professed  a  good 
profession  before  many  witnesses. 

13  "I  give  thee  charge  in  the  sight  of  God,  ''who  quick- 
eneth  all  things,  and  before  Christ  Jesus,  'who  before  Pon'- 
ti-us  Pi'late  witnes.sed  a  good  ||  confession; 

14  .That  thou  keep  this  commandment  without  spot,  unre- 
bukable,  Aintil  the  appearing  of  our  Lord  Jesus  ChrLst: 

15  Which  in  his  times  he  shall  shew,  who  is  'the  ble.sscd 
and  only  Potenate,  *the  King  of  kings,  and  Lord  of  lords; 

16  'Who  only  hath  immortality,  dwelling  in  the  light 
which  no  man  can  approach  unto;  *whom  no  man  hath 
seen,  nor  can  see :  'to  whom  be  honour  and  power  ever- 
lasting.    Amen. 


15  for   already    some    are   turned   aside    after    Sa'tan. 

16  If  any  woman  that  believeth  hath  widows,  let  her 
relieve  them,  and  let  not  the  church  be  burdened ; 
that  it  may  relieve  them  that  are  widows  indeed 

17  Let  the  elders  that  rule  well  be  counted  worthy 
of  double   honour,  especially  those  who    labour   in 

18  the  word  and  in  teaching.  For  the  scripture  saith. 
Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the  ox  when  he  treadeth  out 
the  corn.     And,  The  labourer  is  worthy  of  his  hire 

19  Against  an  elder  receive  not  an   accusation,  except 

20  at  the  mouth  of  two  or  three  witnesses.  Them  that 
sin  reprove  in  the  sight  of  all,  that  the  rest  also  may 

21  be  in  fear.  T  charge  thee  in  the  sight  of  God,  and 
Christ  Jesus,  and  the  elect  angels,  that  thou  observe 
these  things  without   'prejudice,  doing  nothing  by 

22  partiality.  Lay  hands  hastily  on  no  man,  neither  be 
partaker    of  other  men's  sins:    keep   thyself  pure 

23  Be  no  longer  a  drinker  of  water,  but  use  a  little 
wine  for  thy  stomach's  sake  and  thine  often  infirm 

24ities.  Some  men's  sins  are  evident,  going  before 
unto  judgement ;    and   some   men  also   they  follow 

25  after.  In  like  manner  also  Hhere  are  good  works 
that  are  evident;  and  such  as  are  otherwise  cannot 
be  hid. 

0  Let  as  many  as  are  'servants  under  the  yoke  count 
their  own  masters  worthy  of  all  honour,  that  the 
name  of  God  and  the  doctrine  be  not  blasphemed 

2  And  they  that  have  believing  masters,  let  them  not 
despise  them,  because  they  are  brethren ;  but  let 
them  serve  them  the  rather,  because  they  that  *par 
take  of  the  benefit  are  believing  and  beloved. .  These 
things  teach  and  exhort. 

3  If  any  man  teacheth  a  different  doctrine,  and  con 
senteth  not  to  'sound  words,  eve»i  the  words  "of  our 
Lord    Jesus  Christ,  and   to  the   doctrine   which   is 

4  according  to  godliness ;  he  is  puffed  up,  knowing 
nothing,  but  "doting  about  questionings  and  disputes 
of  words,  whereof  cometh  envy,  strife,  railings,  evil 

5  surmisings,  wranglings  of  men  corrupted  in  mind 
and  bereft  of  the  truth,  supposing  that  godliness  is 

6  a  way  of  gain.     But  godliness  with  contentment  is 

7  great  gain  :  for  we  brought  nothing  into  the  world, 

8  for  neither  can  we  carry  anything  out ;  but  having 
food  and  covering  Ve  shall  be  therewith   content. 

9  But  they  that  desire  to  be  rich  fall  into  a  temptation 
and  a  snare  and  many  foolish  and  hurtful  lusts, 
such  as  drown   men   in   destruction   and  perdition. 

10  For  the  love  of  money  is  a  root  of  all  'kinds  of  evil : 
which  some  reaching  after  have  been  led  astray  from 
the  faith,  and  have  pierced  themselves  through  with 
many  sorrows. 

11  But  thou,  O  man  of  God,  flee  these  things;  and 
follow  after  righteousness,  godliness,  faith,  love,  pa- 

12  tience,  meekness.  Fight  the  good  fight  of  the  faith, 
lay  hold  on  the  life  eternal,  whereunto  thou  wast 
called,  and  didst  confess  the  good  confession  in  the 

13  sight  of  many  witnesses.  I  charge  thee  i<i  the  sight 
of  God,  who  'quickeneth  all  things,  and  of  Christ 
Jesus,  who  before  Pon'ti-us  Pi'late  witnessed  the  good 

14 confession;  that  thou  keep  the  commandment,  with- 
out spot,  without  reproach,  until  the  appearing   of 

15 our  Lord  Jesus  Christ:  which  in  '"its  own  times  he 
shall  shew,  who  is  the  blessed  and   only  Potentate, 

16  the  King  of  "kings,  and  Lord  of  "lords;  who  only 
hath  immortality,  dwelling  in  light  unapproachable ; 
whom  no  man  hath  seen,  nor  can  see:  to  whom  be 
honour  and  power  eternal.     Amen.

SECOND  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO 

TIMOTHY. 


CHAPTER   I. 

PauVs  love  to  Timothy. 

PAUL,  °an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ   by  the  will  of  God, 
according  to  'the  promise  of  life  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus, 

2  "To  Tim'o-thy,  my  dearly  beloved  son :  Grace,  mercy, 
and  peace,  from  God  the  Father  and  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord. 

3  ''I  thank  God,  'whom  I  serve  from  my  forefathers  with 
pure  conscience,  that  '^without  ceasing  I  have  remembrance 
of  thee  in  my  prayers  night  and  day; 

4  "Greatly  desiring  to  see  thee,  being  mindful  of  thy  tears, 
that  I  may  be  filled  with  joy; 

5  When  I  call  to  remembrance  *the  unfeigned  faith  that  is 
in  thee,  which  dwelt  first  in  thy  grandmother  Lo'is,  and  'thy 
mother  Eu'nice ;  and  I  am  persuaded  that  in  thee  also. 

6  Wherefore  I  put  thee  in  remembrance,  *that  thou  stir  up 
the  gift  of  God,which  is  in  thee  by  the  putting  on  of  my  hands. 

7  For  'God  hath  not  given  us  the  spirit  of  fear;  ""but  of 
power,  and  of  love,  and  of  a  sound  mind. 

8  "Be  not  thou  therefore  ashamed  of  "the  testimony  of  our 
Lord,  nor  of  me  "his  prisoner:  'but  be  thou  partaker  of  the 
afflictions  of  the  gospel  according  to  the  power  of  God ; 

9  'Who  hath  saved  us,  and  'called  xis  with  a  holy  calling, 
'not  according  to  our  works,  but  "according  to  his  own  pur- 
pose and  grace,  which  was  given  us  in  Christ  Jesus  'before 
the  world  began; 

10  But  "is  now  made  manifest  by  the  appearing  of  our 
Saviour  Jesus  Christ,  'who  hath  abolished  death,  and  hath 
brought  life  and  immortality  to  light  through  the  gospel : 

11  "Whereunto  I  am  appointed  a  preacher,  and  an  apostle, 
and  a  teacher  of  the  Gentiles. 

12  Tor  the  which  cause  I  also  suffer  these  things:  never- 
theless I  am  not  ashamed ;  "for  I  know  whom  I  have  ||  be- 
lieved, and  am  persuaded  that  he  is  able  to  ''keep  that  which 
I  have  committed  unto  him  'against  that  day. 

13  -Tlold  fast  "the  form  of  ''sound  words,  'which  thou  hast 
heard  of  me,  Mn  faith  and  love  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

14  'That  good  thing  which  was  committed  unto  thee  keep 
by  the  Holy  Ghost  "which  dwelleth  in  us. 

15  This  thou  knowest,  that  "all  they  which  are  in  A'si-a 
be  "turned  away  from  me ;  of  whom  are  Phy-gel'lus  and 
Her-mog'e-nes. 

1 6  The  Lord  "give  mercy  unto  'the  house  of  On-e-siph'o-rus; 
"^for  he  ofl  refreshed  me,  and  'was  not  ashamed  of 'my  chain : 


THE 
SECOND  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO 

TIMOTHY. 


-I-  Paui,  an  apostle  of  Christ  Jesus  'by  the  will  of 
God,  according  to  the  promise  of  the  life  which  is  in 

2  Christ  Jesus,  to  Tim'o-thy,  my  beloved  child :  Grace, 
mercy,  peace,  from  God  the  Father  and  Christ  Jesus 
our  Lord. 

3  I  thank  God,  whom  I  serve  from  my  forefathers 
in  a  pure  conscience,  how  unceasing  is  my  remem- 
brance of  thee  in  my  supplications,  night  and  day 

4  longing  to  see  thee,  remembering  thy  tears,  that  1 

5  may  be  filled  with  ^joy;  having  been  reminded  of  the 
unfeigned  faith  that  is  in  thee ;  which  dwelt  first  in 
thy  grandmother  Lo'is,  and  thy  mother  Eu'nice ;  and, 

6 1  am  persuaded,  in  thee  also.  For  the  which  cause 
I  put  thee  in  remembrance  that  thou 'stir  up  the  gift 
of  God,  which  is  in  thee  through  the  laying  on  of 

7  my  hands.     For  God  gave  us  not  a  spirit  of  fearful- 

Sness;  but  of  power  and  love  and  Miscipline.  Be 
not  ashamed  therefore  of  the  testimony  of  our  Lord, 
nor  of  me  his  prisoner  :  but  suffer  hardship  with  the 

9 gospel  according  to  the  power  of  God;  who  saved 
us,  and  called  us  with  a  holy  calling,  not  according 
to  our  works,  but  according  to  his  own  purpose  and 
grace,which  was  given  us  in  Christ  Jesus  oefore  times 

10  eternal,  but  hath  now  been  manifested  by  the  ap- 
pearing of  our  Saviour  Christ  Jesus,  who  abolishfed 
death,   and    brought   life  and  incorruption  to  light 

11  through  the    gospel,  whereunto  I  was  appointed  a 
12 'preacher,  and  an  apostle,  and  a  teacher.     For  the 

which  cause  I  suffer  also  these  things :  yet  I  am  not 
ashamed ;  for  I  know  him  whom  I  have  believed, 
and  I  am  persuaded  that  he  is  able  to  guard  'that 
which  I  have  committed  unto  him  against  that  day. 

13  Hold  the  pattern  of 'sound  words  which  thou  hast 
heard  from  me,  in  faith  and  love  which  is  in  Christ 

14  Jesus.  *That  good  thing  which  was  committed  unto 
thee  guard  through  the  'Holy  Ghost  which  dwelleth 
in  us. 

15  This  thou  knowest,  that  all  that  are  in  A'si-a 
turned    away    from  me ;    of  whom  are  Phy-ge'lus

17  But,  when  he  was  in  Some,  he  sought  me  out  very 
diligently,  and  found  me. 

18  The  Lord  grant  unto  him  "that  he  may  find  mercy  of 
the  Lord  'in  that  day:  and  in  how  many  things  he  "minis- 
tered unto  me  at  Eph'e-sus,  thou  knowest  very  well. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Timothy  exhorted  to  constancy. 

THOU  therefore,  "my  son,  'be  strong  in  the  grace  that 
is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

2  "And  the  things  that  thou  hast  heard  of  me  |{  among 
many  witnesses,  ''the  same  commit  thou  to  faithful  men, 
who  shall  be  'able  to  teach  others  also. 

3  •''Thou  therefore  endure  hardness,  "as  a  good  soldier  of 
Jesus  Christ. 

4  ''No  man  that  warreth  entangleth  himself  with  the  affairs 
of  this  life ;  that  he  may  please  him  who  hath  chosen  him 
to  be  a  soldier. 

5  And  'if  a  man  also  strive  for  masteries,  yd  is  he  not 
crowned,  except  he  strive  lawfully. 

6  *||The  husbandman  that  laboureth  must  be  first  partaker 
of  the  fruits. 

7  Consider  what  I  say;  and  the  Lord  give  thee  under- 
standing in  all  things. 

8  Remember  that  Jesus  Christ  'of  the  seed  of  Da'vid  "was 
raised  from  the  dead,  "according  to  my  gospel : 

9  "Wherein  I  suffer  trouble,  as  an  evil  doer,  "even  unto 
bonds ;  'but  the  word  of  God  is  not  bound. 

10  Therefore  'I  endure  all  things  for  the  elect's  sakes, 
"that  they  may  also  obtain  the  salvation  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesus  with  eternal  glory. 

11  'Ji!  is  a  faithful  saying:  For  "if  we  be  dead  with  him, 
we  shall  also  live  with  him,  : 

12  "'If  we  suffer,  we  shall  also  reign  with  him:  "if  we  deny 
him,  he  also  will  deny  us: 

13  "If  we  believe  not,  yet  he  abideth  faithful :  "he  cannot 
deny  himself. 

14  Of  these  things  put  them  in  remembrance,  'charging 
them  before  the  Lord  'that  they  strive  not  about  words  to 
no  profit,  but  to  the  subverting  of  the  hearers. 

15  Study  to  shewthyself  approved  unto  God,  a  workman  that 
needeth  not  to  be  ashamed,  rightly  dividing  the  word  of  truth, 

16  But  ''shun  profane  and  vain  babblings:  for  they  will  in- 
crease unto  more  ungodliness. 

17  And  their  word  will  eat  as  doth  a  || canker:  of  whom 
is  'Hy-me-ue'us  and  Phi-le'tus; 

18  Who  •'concerning  the  truth  have  erred,  "saying  that  the 
resurrection  is  j)ast  already ;  and  overthrow  the  faith  of  some. 

19  Nevertheless  ''the  foundation  of  God  standeth  [[sure, 
having  this  seal,  The  Lord  'knoweth  them  that  are  his.  And, 
Let  every  one  that  nameth  the  name  of  Christ  depart  from 
iniquity. 

20  *But  in  a  great  house  there  are  not  only  vessels  of  gold 
and  of  silver,  but  also  of  wood  and  of  earth ;  'and  some  to 
honour,  and  some  to  dishonour. 

21  "'If  a  man  therefore  purge  himself  from  these,  he  shall 
be  a  vessel  unto  honour,  sanctified,  and  meet  for  the  master's 
use,  and  "prepared  unto  every  good  work. 

22  Flee  also  youthful  lusts:  but  "follow  righteousness, 
faith,  charity,  peace,  with  them  that  "call  on  the  Lord  "out 
of  a  pure  heart. 

23  But  '■foolish  and  unlearned  questions  avoid,  knowing 
that  they  do  gender  strifes. 

24  And  'the  servant  of  the  Lord  must  not  strive;  but  be 
gentle  unto  all  men,  'apt  to  teach,  ||  patient; 

25  "In  meekness  instructing  those  that  oppose  themselves ; 
"'if  God  peradventure  will  give  them  repentance  "to  the 
acknowledging  of  the  truth ; 

26  And  that  they  may  frecover  themselves  'out  of  the 
snare  of  the  devil,  who  are  ftaken  captive  by  him  at  his  will. 


17  but,  when  he  was   in   Rome,   he   sought   me  dili- 

18  gently,  and  found  me  (the  Lord  grant  unto  him  to 
find  mercy  of  the  Lord  in  that  day);  and  in  how 
many  things  he  ministered  at  Eph'e-sus,  thou  know- 
est very  well. 

^     Thou  therefore,  my  child,  be  strengthened  in  the 

2  grace  that  is  in  Christ  Jesus.  And  the  things  which 
thou  hast  heard  from  me  among  many  witnesses,  the 
same  commit  thou  to  faithful  men,  who  shall  be  able 

3  to  teach  others  also.     'Suffer  hardship  with  me,  as  a 

4  good  soldier  of  Christ  Jesus.  No  soldier  on  service 
entangleth  himself  in  the  affairs  of  this  life;  that  he 

6  may  please  him  who  enrolled  him  as  a  soldier.  And 
if  also  a  man  contend  in  the  games,  he  is  not  crowned, 

6  except  he  have  contended  lawfully.  The  husband- 
man that  laboureth  must  be  the  first  to  partake  of 

7  the  fruits.     Consider  what  I  say ;  for  the  Lord  shall 

8  give  thee  understanding  in  all  things.  Remember 
Jesus  Christ,    risen  from  the  dead,  of  the  seed  of 

9 Da'vid,  according  to  my  gospel:  wherein  I  suffer 
hardship  unto  bonds,  as  a  malefactor;   but  the  word 

10  of  God  is  not  bound.  Therefore  I  endure  all  things 
for  the  elect's  sake,  that  they  also  may  obtain  the 
salvation  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus  with  eternal  glory. 

11  Faithful  is  the  ^saying:  For  if  we  died  with  him, we 
12 shall  also  live  with  him:  if  we  endure,  we  shall  also 

reign  with  him :   if  we  shall  deny  him    he  also  will 

13  deny  us :  if  we  are  faithless,  he  abideth  faithful ;  for 
he  cannot  deny  himself. 

14  Of  these  things  put  them  in  remembrance,  charg- 
ing them  in  the  sight  of  'the  Lord,  that  they  strive 
not  about  words,  to  no  profit,  to  the  subverting  of 

15  them  that  hear.  Give  diligence  to  present  thyself 
approved  unto  God,  a  workman  that  needeth  not  to 

16  be  ashamed,  ^handling  aright  the  word  of  truth.  But 
shun  profane  babblings:  for  they  will  proceed  fur- 

17  ther  in  ungodliness,  and  their  word  will  'eat  as  doth 
a  gangrene :  of  whom  is  Hy-me-nse'us  and  Phi-le'tus; 

18  men  who  concerning  the  truth  have  'en-ed,  saying 
that  ^the  resurrection  is  past  already,  and  overthrow 

19  the  faith  of  some.  Howbeit  the  firm  foundation  of 
God  standeth,  having  this  seal,  The  Lord  knoweth 
them  that  are  his:  and.  Let  every  one  that  nameth 
the  name  of  the  Lord  depart  from  unrigLteousness. 

20  Now  in  a  great  house  there  are  not  only  vessels  of 
gold  and  of  silver,  but  also  of  wood  and  of  earth ; 
and  some  unto  honour,    and  some  unto  dishonour. 

21  If  a  man  therefore  purge  himself  from  these,  he  shall 
be  a  vessel  unto  honour,  sanctified,  meet  for  the  mas- 

22  ter's  use,  prepared  unto  every  good  work.  But  flee 
youthful  lusts,  and  follow  after  righteousness,  faith, 
love,  peace,  with  them  that  call  on  the  Lord  out  of 

23  a  pure  heart.     But  foolish  and  ignorant  questionings 

24  refuse,  knowing  that  they  gender  strifes.  And  the 
Lord's  'servant  must  not  strive,  but  be  gentle   to- 

25  wards  all,  apt  to  teach,  forbearing,  in  meekness 
'correcting  them  that  oppose  themselves;  if  perad- 
venture God  may  give  them    repentance    unto   the 

26  knowledge  of  the  truth,  and  they  may  '"recover 
themselves  out  of  the  snare  of  the  devil,  having 
been  "taken  captive  %y  the  Lord's  servant  unto  the

CHAPITER  III. 

BmvttOi  0/  iike  truth  described. 

THIS  know  also,  that   *in   the   last  days  perilous  times 
shall  come. 

2  For  men  shall  be  'lovers  of  their  own  selves,  'covetous, 
''boasters,  'proud,  -'blasphemers,  'disobedient  to  parents,  un- 
thankful, unholy, 

3  ''Without  natural  affection,  trucebreakers,  1|  false  ac- 
cusers, *incontinent,  fierce,  despisers  of  those  that  are  good, 

4  'Traitors,  heady,  highminded,  ""lovers  of  pleasures  more 
than  lovers  of  God : 

5  Having  a  form  of  godliness,  but  "denying  the  power 
thereof:  "from  such  turn  away. 

6  For 'of  this  sort  are  they  which  creep  into  houses,  and  lead 
captive  silly  women  laden  with  sins,  led  away  with  divers  lusts, 

7  Ever  learning,  and  never  able  «to  come  to  the  knowledge 
of  the  truth. 

8  'Now  as  Jan'nes  and  Jam'bres  withstood  Mo'ses,  so  do 
these  also  resist  the  truth  :  'men  of  corrupt  minds,  '||  repro- 
bate concerning  the  faith. 

9  But  they  shall  proceed  no  further:  for  their  folly  shall 
be  manifest  unto  all  men,  "as  theirs  also  was. 

10  ^But  II  thou  hast  fully  known  my  doctrine,  manner 
of  life,  purpose,  faith,  longsuffering,  charity,  patience, 

11  Persecutions,  afflictions,  which  came  unto  me  "at  An'- 
ti-och,  "at  I-co'ni-um,  "at  Lys'tra;  what  persecutions  I  en- 
dured :  but  ""out  of  them  all  the  Lord  delivered  me. 

12  Yea,  and  'all  that  will  live  godly  in  Christ  Jesus  shall 
suffer  persecution. 

13  ''But  evil  men  and  seducers  shall  wax  worse  and  worse, 
deceiving,  and  being  deceived. 

14  But  'continue  thou  in  the  things  which  thoa  hast 
learned  and  hast  been  assured  of,  knowing  of  whom  thou 
hast  learned  them; 

15  And  that  from  a  child  thou  hast  known  •'the  holy  Scrip- 
tures, which  are  able  to  make  thee  wise  unto  salvation 
through  faith  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

16  'All  scripture  is  given  by  inspiration  of  God,  *and  is 
profitable  for  doctrine,  for  reproof,  for  correction,  for  in- 
struction in  righteousness : 

17  'That  the  man  of  God  may  be  perfect,  ||  Hhorougbly 
furnished  unto  all  good  works. 

CHAPTER    IV. 

PauPs  soiemn  charge  to  Timothy. 

I  "CHARGE  thee  therefore  before  God,  and  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  *who  shall  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead  at  his 
appearing  and  his  kingdom  ; 

2  Preach  the  word ;  be  instant  in  season,  out  of  season ;  re- 
prove, 'rebuke,  ''exhort  with  all  longsuffering  and  doctrine. 

3  'For  the  time  will  come,  when  they  will  not  endure 
•'sound  doctrine;  'but  after  their  own  lusts  shall  they  heap 
to  themselves  teachers,  having  itching  ears; 

4  And  they  shall  turn  away  their  ears  from  the  truth,  and 
"shall  be  turned  unto  fables. 

5  But  watch  thou  in  all  things,  'endure  afflictions,  do  the 
work  of  *an  evangelist,  ||  make  full  proof  of  thy  ministry. 

6  For  'I  am  now  ready  to  be  offered,  and  the  time  of  "my 
departure  is  at  hand. 

7  "I  have  fought  a  good  fight,  I  have  finished  my  course, 
I  have  kept  the  faith : 

8  Henceforth  there  is  laid  up  forme^a  crown  of  righteousness, 
which  the  Lord,  the  righteou.'*  Judge,  shall  give  me  "at that  day: 
and  not  to  me  only,  but  unto  all  them  also  that  love  hisappearing. 

9  Do  thy  diligence  to  come  shortly  unto  me : 

10  For  "De'mas  hath  forsaken  me,  'having  loved  this 
present  world,  and  is  departed  unto  Thes-sa-lo-ui'ca ;  Cres'- 
cens  to  Ga-la'ti-a,  Ti'tus  unto  Dal-ma'ti-a. 

11  'Only  'Luke  is  with  me.  Take  "Mark,  and  bring  him 
with  thee :  for  he  is  profitable  to  me  for  the  ministry. 


^  But  know  this,  thai  in  the  last  days  grievous  times 

2  shall  come.  For  men  shall  be  lovers  of  self, 
lovers  of  money,  boastful,   haughty,  railers,    diso- 

3bedient  to  parents,  unthankful,  unholy,  without 
.  natural  affection,  implacable,  slanderers,  without 
4  self-control,  fierce,  no  lovers  of  good,  traitors,  head- 
strong, puffed  up,  lovers  of  pleasure  rather  than 
5 lovers  of  God;  holding  a  form  of  godliness,  but 
having  denied  the  power   thereof:    from  these  also 

6  turn  away.  For  of  these  are  they  that  creep  into 
houses,  and    take   captive   silly  women  laden  with 

7  sins,  led  away  by  divers  lusts,  ever  learning,  and 
never  able  to  come  to  the  knowledge  of  the  truth, 

8  And  like  as  Jan'nes  and  Jam'bres  withstood  Mo'ses, 
so   do  these    also    withstand   the   truth;    men  cor 

9  rupted  in  mind,  reprobate  concerning  the  faith.  But 
they  shall  proceed  no  further:  for  their  folly  shall 
be  evident  unto  all  men,  as  theirs  also  came  to  be. 

10  But   thou  didst  follow  my  teaching,  conduct,  pur- 

11  pose,  faith,  longsuffering,  love,  patience,  persecutions, 
sufferings;  what  things  befell  me  at  An'ti-och,  at 
I-co'ni-um,  at  Lys'tra ;  what  persecutions  I  endured 

12  and  out  of  them  all  the  Lord  delivered  me.  Yea,  and 
all  that  would  live  godly  in  Christ  Jesus  shall  suffer 

13  persecution.  But  evil  men  and  impostors  shall  wax 
worse  and   worse,    deceiving    and    being    deceived. 

14  But  abide  thou  in  the  things  which  thou  hast  learned 
and  hast  been  a.ssured  of,  knowing  of  'whom  thou 

15 hast  learned  them;  and  that  from  a  babe  thou  hast 
known  the  sacred  writings  which  are  able  to  make 
thee  wise  unto  salvation  through  faith  which  is  in 

16  Christ  Jesus.  'Every  scripture  inspired  of  God  is 
also  profitable  for  teaching,  for  reproof,  for  correc- 

17tion,  for  instruction  which  is  in  righteousness:  that 
the  man  of  God  may  be  complete,  furnished  com- 
pletely unto  every  good  work. 

^  *I  charge  thee  in  the  sight  of  God,  and  of  Christ 
Jesus,  who  shall  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead,  and 

2 by  his  appearing  and  his  kingdom;  preach  the 
word ;  be  instant  in  season,  out  of  season ;  "reprove, 
rebuke,  exhort,  with  all  longsuffering  and  teaching. 

3  For  the  time  will  come  when  they  will  not  endure 
the  'sound  'doctrine;  but,  having  itching  ears,  will 
heap   to  themselves   teachers  after  their  own  'lusts ; 

4  and  will  turn  away  their  ears  from   the   truth,  and 

5  turn  aside  unto  fables.  But  be  thou  sober  in  all 
things,  suffer  hardship,  do  the  work  of  an  evangelist, 

6  fulfil  thy  ministry.     For  I  am  already  being  'offered, 

7  and  the  time  of  my  departure  is  come.  I  have 
fought  the  good  fight,  I  have  finished  the  course,  I 

8  have  kept  the  faith :  henceforth  there  is  laid  up  for 
me  the  crown  of  righteousness,  which  the  Lord,  the 
righteous  judge,  shall  give  to  me  at  that  day :  and 
not  only  to  me,  but  also  to  all  them  that  have  loved 
his  appearing. 

jj  Do  thy  diligence  to  come  shortly  unto  me:  for 
De'mas  forsook  me,  having  loved  this  present 
•world,  and  went  to  Thes-sa-lo-ni'ca ;  Cres'cens 
11  to  '"Ga-la'ti-a,  Ti'tus  to  Dal-ma'ti-a.  Only  Luke 
is  with  me.  Take  Mark,  and  bring  him  with 
thee:     for    he    is    useful    to    me    for    ministering.

CHAPTER    I. 

Qualijications  of  ministers. 

PAUL,  a  servant  of  God,  and  an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ, 
according  to  the  faith  of  God's  elect,  and  "the  acknowl- 
edging of  the  truth  'which  is  after  godliness; 

2  "In  hope  of  eternal  life,  which  God,  ""that  can  not  lie, 
promised  "before  the  world  began  ; 

3  -'But  hath  in  due  times  manifested  his  word  through 
preaching,  "which  is  committed  unto  me,  'according  to  the 
commandment  of  God  our  Saviour ; 

4  To  'Ti'tus,  hnine  own  son  after  'the  common  faith : 
"Grace,  mercy,  and  peace,  from  God  the  Father  and  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ  our  Saviour. 

5  For  this  cause  left  I  thee  in  Crete,  that  thou  shouldest 
"set  in  order  the  things  that  are  wanting,  and  "ordain  elders 
in  every  city,  as  I  had  appointed  thee : 

6  "If  any  be  blameless,  'the  husband  of  one  wife,  'having 
faithful  children  not  accused  of  riot  or  unruly. 

7  For  a  bishop  must  be  blameless,  as  'the  steward  of  God  : 
not  selfwilled,  not  soon  angry,  'not  given  to  wine,  no  striker, 
"not  given  to  filthy  lucre  ; 

8  "'But  a  lover  of  hospitality,  a  lover  of  ||good  men,  sober, 
just,  holy,  temperate; 

9  "Holding  fast 'the  faithful  word  ||  as  he  hath  been  taught, 
that  he  may  be  able  "by  sound  doctrine  both  to  exhort  and 
to  convince  the  gainsayers. 

10  For  "there  are  many  unruly  and  vain  talkers  and  "de- 
ceivers, ''especially  they  of  the  circumcision  : 

11  Whose  mouths  must  be  stopped,  "who  subvert  whole 
houses,  teaching  things  which  they  ought  not,  ^for  filthy 
lucre's  sake.

THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  TO 

TITUS. 


-I-  Paul,  'a  servant  of  God,  and  an  apostle  of  Jesus 
Christ,  according  to  the  faith  of  God's  elect,  and  the 
knowledge  of  the  truth  which  is  according  to  god- 

21iuess,  in  hope  of  eternal  life,  which  God,  who  can 

3 not  lie,  promised  before  times  eternal;  but  in  ^his 
own  seasons  manifested  his  word  in  the  'message, 
wherewith  I  was   intrusted  according  to  the  com- 

4mandment  of  God  our  Saviour;  to  Ti'tus,  my  true 
child  after  a  common  faith :  Grace  and  peace  from 
God  the  Father  and  Christ  Jesus  our  Saviour. 

5  For  this  cause  left  I  thee  in  Crete,  that  thou 
shouldest  set  in  order  the  things  that  were  wanting, 
and   appoint  elders   in   every  city,  as  I   gave  thee 

6  charge ;  if  any  man  is  blameless,  the  husband  of 
one  wife,  having  children  that  believe,  who  are  not 

7  accused  of  riot  or  unruly.  For  the  ^bishop  must  be 
blameless,  as  God's  steward;  not  selfwilled,  not 
soon  angry,  "^no  brawler,  no  striker,  not  greedy  of 

8  filthy    lucre;    but   given   to  hospitality,  a  lover  of 
9 good,   soberminded,  just,  holy,  temperate;    holding 

to  the  faithful  word  which  is  according  to  the 
teaching,  that  he  may  be  able  both  to  exhort 
in  the  *sound  'doctrine,  and  to  convict  the  gain- 
sayers. 

10  For  there  are  many  unruly  men,  vain  talkers 
and    deceivers,    specially    they    of    the    circumois- 

11  ion,  whose  mouths  must  be  stopped ;  men  who 
overthrow    whole    houses,   teaching    things    which 

12  they  ought  not,  for  filthy  lucre's  sake.  One  of 
themselves,  a  prophet  of  their  own,  said,  Cre'- 
tans   are    alway    liars,  evil   beasts,    idle  'gluttons.

that  they  may  be  'sound  in  the  faith  j

CHAPTER    II. 

Directions  /or  doctrine  and  life. 

BUT  speak  thou  the  things  which  become  "sound  doctrine : 
2  That    the    aged    men   be   ||  sober,  grave,  temperate, 
'sound  in  faith,  in  charity,  in  patience. 

3  "The  aged  women  likewise,  that  they  he  in  behaviour  as 
becometh  |i  holiness,  not  ||  false  accusers,  not  given  to  much 
wine,  teachers  of  good  things ; 

4  That  they  may  teach  the  young  women  to  be  ||  sober,  ''to 
love  their  husbands,  to  love  their  children, 

5  To  he  discreet,  chaste,  keepers  at  home,  good,  'obedient 
to  their  own  husbands,  -''that  the  word  of  God  be  not  blas- 
phemed. 

6  Young  men  likewise  exhort  to  be  ||soberminded. 

7  'In  all  things  shewing  thyself  a  pattern  of  good  works : 
in  doctrine  shewing  uncorruptness,  gravity,  ^sincerity, 

8  'Sound  speech,  that  cannot  be  condemned ;  *that  he  that 
is  of  the  contrary  part  'may  be  ashamed,  having  no  evil 
thing  to  say  of  you. 

9  Exhort  "servants  to  be  obedient  unto  their  own  mas- 
ters, and  to  please  them  well  "in  all  things;  not  ||  answering 
again; 

10  Not  purloining,  but  shewing  all  good  fidelity ;  "that  they 
may  adorn  the  doctrine  of  God  our  Saviour  in  all  things. 

11  For  "the  grace  of  God  ||that  bringeth  salvation  "hath 
appeared  to  all  men, 

12  Teaching  us  "^that,  denying  ungodliness  'and  worldly 
lusts,  we  should  live  soberly,  righteously,  and  godly,  in  this 
present  world; 

13  'Looking  for  that  blessed  "hope,  and  the  glorious  "ap- 
pearing of  the  great  God  and  our  Saviour  Jesus  Christ; 

14  •'Who  gave  himself  for  us,  that  he  might  redeem  us 
from  all  iniquity,  'and  purify  unto  himself  "a  peculiar  people, 
'zealous  of  good  works. 

15  These  things  speak,  and  "exhort,  and  rebuke  with  all 
authority.     ""Let  no  man  despise  thee. 

CHAF'TER    III 

Titus  directed  what  to  teach. 

PUT  them  in  mind  "to  be  subject  to   principalities   and 
powerSjto  obey  magistrates,'to  be  ready  to  every  good  work, 

2  "To  speak  evil  of  no  man,  ''to  be  no  brawlers,  hvi  "gentle, 
shewing  all  •'meekness  unto  all  men. 

3  For  'we  ourselves  also  were  sometime  foolish,  dis- 
obedient, deceived,  serving  divers  lusts  and  plea.sures,  living 
in  malice  and  envy,  hateful,  and  hating  one  another. 

4  But  after  that  *the  kindness  and  ||  love  qf  'God  our 
Saviour  toward  man  appeared, 

5  *Not  by  works  of  righteousness  which  we  have  done, 
but  according  to  his  mercy  he  saved  us,  by  'the  washing  of 
regeneration,  and  renewing  of  the  Holy  Ghost ; 

6  ""Which  he  shed  on  us  fabundantly  through  Jesus  Christ 
our  Saviour; 

7  "That  being  justified  by  his  grace,  "we  should  be  made 
heirs  "according  to  the  hope  of  eternal  life. 

vS  "This  is  a  faithful  saying,  and  these  things  I  will  that 
thou  afiirm  constantly,  that  they  which  have  believed  in 
God  might  be  careful  'to  maintain  good  works.  These 
things  are  good  and  profitable  unto  men. 

9  But    'avoid    foolish    questions,    and    genealogies,    and 


13  This  testimony  is  true.  For  which  cause  reprove 
them    sharply,   that   they    may    be    'sound    in   the 

14  faith,  not  giving  heed  to  Jew'ish  fables,  and  com- 
mandments of  men  who  turn  away  from  the  truth. 

15 To  the  pure  all  things  are  pure:  but  to  them  that 
are  defiled  and  unbelieving  nothing  is  pure;  but 
both   their  mind  and  their  conscience  are  defiled. 

16 They  profess  that  they  know  God;  but  by  their 
works  they  deny  him,  being  abominable,  and  diso- 
bedient, and  unto  every  good  work  reprobate. 

^      But  speak  thou  the  things  which  befit  the  ^sound 

2  'doctrine :  that  aged  men  be  temperate,  grave,  sober- 

3  minded,  'sound  in  faith,  in  love,  in  patience :  that 
aged  women  likewise  be  reverent  in  demeanour,  not 
slanderers  nor  enslaved  to  much  wire,  teachers  of 

4  that  which  is  good ;  that  they  may  train  the  young 
women  to  love  their  husbands,  to   love   their   chil- 

5  dren,  to  he  soberminded,  chaste,  workers  at  home, 
kind,  being  in  subjection  to  their  own   husbands, 

6  that  the  word  of  God  be  not  blasphemed :  the 
younger  men  likewise   exhort  to  be  soberminded: 

7  in  all  things  shewing  thyself. an  ensample  of  good 
works;  in  thy  doctrine  shelving  uncorruptness,  grav- 

8  ity,  sound  speech,  that  cannot  be  condemned ;  that 
he  that  is  of  the  contrary  part   may   be   ashamed, 

9  having  no  evil  thing  to  say  of  us.  Exhort  'servants 
to  be  in  subjection  to  their  own  masters,  and  to  be 
well-pleasing  to  them  in  all  things ;  not  gainsaying ; 

10  not  purloining,  but  shewing  all  good  fidelity ;  that 
they  may  adorn  the  doctrine  of  God  our  Saviour  in 

Hall  things.     For  the  grace  of  God  'hath  appeared, 

12  bringing  salvation  to  all  men,  instructing  us,  to  the 
intent  that,  denying  ungodliness  and  worldly  lusts, 
we  should  live  soberly  and  righteously  and   godly 

13 in  this  present  'world;  looking  for  the  blessed  hoi^e 
and  appearing  of  the  glory  'of  our  great  God  and 

14  Saviour  Jesus  Christ ;  who  gave  himself  for  us,  that 
he  might  redeem  us  from  all  iniquity,  and  purify 
unto  himself  a  people  for  his  own  possession,  zeal- 
ous of  good  works. 

15  These  things  speak  and  exhort  and  reprove  with 
all  'authority.     Let  no  man  despise  thee. 

O  Put  them  in  mind  to  be  in  subjection  to  rulers,  to 
authorities,  to  be  obedient,  to  be  ready  unto  «every 

2  good  work,  to  speak  evil  of  no  man,  not  to  be  con- 
tentious, to  be  gentle,  shewing  all  meekness  toward 

3  all  men.  For  we  also  were  aforetime  foolish,  dis- 
obedient, deceived,  serving  divers  lusts  and  pleas- 
ures, living  in  malice  and  envy,  hateful,  hating  one 

4  another.     But  when  the  kindness  of  God  our  Saviour, 

5  and  his  love  toward  man,  appeared,  not  by  works 
done  in  righteousness,  which  we  did  ourselves,  but 
according  to  his  mercy  he  saved  us,  through  the 
'washing  of  regeneration  '"and  renewing  of  the  "Holy 

6  Ghost,  which  he  poured  out  upon  us  richly,  through 

7  Jesus  Christ  our  Saviour;  that,  being  justified  by  his 
grace,  we   might  be  made   '%eirs  according   to   the 

8  hope  of  eternal  life.  Faithful  is  the  saying,  and 
concerning  these  things  I. will  that  thou  affirm  con- 
fidently, to  the  end  that  they  which  have  believed 
God  may  be  careful  to  '^maintain  good  works. 
These  things  are   good   and   profitable    unto    men :

THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  TO 

PHILEMON. 


Paui  intercedeth  for  Onesimus. 

PAUL,''a  prisoner  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  Tim'o-thy  mt,r  brother, 
unto  Phi-le'mon  our  dearly  beloved,  'and  fellow  labourer, 

2  And  to  our  beloved  Ap'phi-a,  and  "Ar-chip'pus,  ''our  fel- 
low soldier,  and  to  'the  church  in  thy  house : 

3  -^Grace  to  you,  and  peace,  from  God  our  Father  and  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

4  "I  thank  my  God,  making  mention  of  thee  always  in  my 
prayers, 

5  *Hearing  of  thy  love  and  faith,  which  thou  hast  toward 
the  Lord  Jesus,  and  toward  all  saints; 

6  That  the  communication  of  thy  faith  may  become  ef- 
fectual 'by  the  acknowledging  of  every  good  thing  which  is 
in  you  in  Christ  Jesus. 

7  For  we  have  great  joy  and  consolation  in  thy  love,  be- 
cause the  bowels  of  the  saints  *are  refreshed  by  thee,  brother. 

8  Wherefore,  'though  I  might  be  much  bold  in  Christ  to 
enjoin  thee  that  which  is  convenient, 

9  Yet  for  love's  sake  I  rather  beseech  thee,  being  such  a 
one  as  Paul  the  aged,  "and  now  also  a  prisoner  of  Jesus  Christ. 

10  I  beseech  thee  for  my  son  "O-nes'i-mus,  "whom  I  have 
begotten  in  my  bonds: 

11  Which  in  time  past  was  to  thee  unprofitable,  but  now 
profitable  to  thee  and  to  me : 

12  Whom  I  have  sent  again:  thou  therefore  receive  him, 
that  is,  mine  own  bowels: 

13  Whom  I  would  have  retained  with  me,  "that  in  thy  stead 
he  might  have  ministered  unto  me  in  the  bonds  of  the  gospel : 

14  But  without  thy  mind  would  I  do  nothing ;  'that  thy 
benefit  should  not  be  as  it  were  of  necessity,  but  willingly. 

15  'For  perhaps  he  therefore  departed  for  a  season,  that 
thou  shouldest  receive  him  for  ever; 

16  Not  now  as  a  servant,  but  above  a  servant,  'a  brother 
beloved,  specially  to  me,  but  how  much  more  unto  thee, 
both  in  the  flesh,  and  in  the  Lord? 

17  If  thou  count  me  therefore"a  partner,  receive  him  as  myself. 

18  If  he  hath  wronged  thee,  or  oweth  thee  aught,  put  that 
on  mine  account ; 

19  I  Paul  have  written  it  with  mine  own  hand,  I  will 
repay  it;  albeit  I  do  not  say  to  thee  how  thou  oWest  unto 
me  even  thine  own  self  besides. 

20  Yea,  brother,  let  me  have  joy  of  thee  in  the  Lord : 
"refresh  my  bowels  in  the  Lord.

2  worker,  and  to  Ap'phi-a  'our  sister,  and  to  Ar-chip'- 
pus   our  fellow-soldier,  and  to   the  church  in  thy 

3  house :  Grace  to  you  and  peace  from  God  our  Father 
and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

4  I  thank  my  God  always,  making  mention  of  thee 

5  in  my  prayers,  he'aring  of  'thy  love,  and  of  the  faith 
which  thou  hast  toward  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  toward 

6  all  the  saints ;  that  the  fellowship  of  thy  faith  may 
become  efiectual,  in  the  knowledge  of  every  good 

7  thing  which  is  in  *you,  unto  Christ.  For  I  had 
much  joy  and  comfort  in  thy  love,  because  the 
hearts  of  the  saints  have  been  refreshed  through 
thee,  brother. 

8  Wherefore,  though  I  have  all  boldness  in  Christ 

9  to  enjoin  thee  that  which  is  befitting,  yet  for  love's 
sake  I  rather  beseech,  being  such  a  one  as  Paul  'the 

lOaged,  and  now  a  prisoner  also  of  Christ  Jesus:  I 
beseech  thee  for  my  child,  whom  I  have  Ijegotten 

11  in  my  bonds,  'O-nes'i-mus,  who  was  aforetime  un 
profitable  to  thee,  but  now  is  profitable  to  thee  and 

12 to  me:  whom  I  have  sent  back  to  thee  in  his  own 

13 person,  that  is,  my  very  heart:  whom  I  would  fain 
have  kept  with  me,  that  in  thy  behalf  he  might  min- 

14ister  unto  me  in  the  bonds  of  the  gospel:  but  with- 
out thy  mind  I  would  do  nothing ;  that  thy  goodness 

15  should  not  be  as  of  necessity,  but  of  free  Avill.  For 
perhaps  he  was  therefore  parted  from  thee  for  a  sea- 

16 son,  that  thou  shouldest  have  him  for  ever;  no 
longer  as  a  ^servant,  but  more  than  a  'servant,  a 
brother  beloved,  specially  to  me,  but  how  much 
rather  to  thee,  both  in  the  flesh  and  in  the  Lord. 

17  If  then  thou  countest  me  a  partner,  receive  him  as 

18  myself.     But  if  he   hath   wronged  thee   at   all,  or 
19 oweth  thee  aught,  put  that  to  mine  account;  I  Paul 

write  it  with  mine  own  hand,  I  will  repay  it :  that  I 

say  not  unto  thee  how  that  thou  owest  to  me  even 

20  thine  own  self  besides.     Yea,  brother,  let  me  have 

•joy  of  thee  in  the  Lord  :  refresh  my  heart  in  Christ.

THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO   THE 


HEBREWS. 


CHAPTER   I. 

Christ  far  above  the  angets. 

GOD,  who  at  sundry  times  and  "in  divers  manners  spake 
in  time  past  unto  the  fathers  by  the  prophets, 

2  Hath  'in  these  last  days  'spoken  unto  us  by  Ms  Son, 
''whom  he  hath  appointed  heir  of  all  things,  'by  whom  also 
he  made  the  worlds ; 

3  ■''Who  being  the  brightness  of  Ats  glory,  and  the  express 
image  of  his  person,  and  'upholding  all  things  by  the  word 
of  his  power,  *when  he  had  by  himself  purged  our  sins,  'sat 
down  on  the  right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on  high ; 

4  Being  made  so  much  better  than  the  angels,  as  *he 
hath  by  inheritance  obtained  a  more  excellent  name  than 
they. 

5  For  unto  which  of  the  angels  said  he  at  any  time. 
Thou  art  my  Son,  this  day  have  I  begotten  thee?  And 
again,  "I  will  be  to  him  a  Father,  and  he  shall  be  to  me  a 
Son? 

6  II  And  again,  when  he  bringeth  in  "the  firstbegotten 
into  the  world,  he  saith,  "And  let  all  the  angels  of  God  wor- 
ship him. 

7  And  fof  the  angels  he  saith,  'Who  maketh  his  angels 
spirits,  and  his  ministers  a  flame  of  fire. 

8  Bnt  unto  the  Son  he  saith,  «Thy  throne,  O  God,  is  for 
ever  and  ever :  a  sceptre  of  f  righteousness  is  the  sceptre  of 
thy  kingdom; 

9  Thou  hast  loved  righteousness,  and  hated  iniquity; 
therefore  God,  even  thy  God,  'hath  anointed  thee  with  the 
oil  of  gladness  above  thy  fellows. 

10  And,  "Thou,  Lord,  in  the  beginning  hast  laid  the  foun- 
dation of  the  earth ;  and  the  heavens  are  the  works  of  thine 
hands. 

11  'They  shall  perish,  but  thou  remainest:  and  they  all 
shall  wax  old  as  doth  a  garment ; 

12  And  as  a  vesture  shalt  thou  fold  them  up,  and  they 
shall  be  changed;  but  thou  art  the  same,  and  thy  years 
shall  not  fail. 

13  But  to  which  of  the  angels  said  he  at  any  time,  "Sit  on 
my  right  hand,  until  I  make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool? 

14  "Are  they  not  all  ministering  spirits,  sent  forth  to  min- 
ister for  them  who  shall  be  "heirs  of  salvation? 

CHAPTER    II. 

Obedience  due  to  Christ. 

THEREFORE  we  ought  to  give  the  more  earnest  heed 
to  the  things  which  we  have  heard,  lest  at  any  time  we 
should  flet  ^Acm'slip. 

2  For  if  the  word  "spoken  by  angels  was  steadfast,  and 
'every  transgression  and  disobedience  received  a  just  rec- 
ompense of  reward ; 


THE  EPIvSTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE 

TO   THE 

HEBREWS. 


J-  God,  having  of  old  time  spoken  unto  the  fathers  in 
the  prophets  by  divers  portions  and  in  divers  manners, 

2  hath  at  the  end  of  these  days  spoken  unto  us  in  %is 
Son,  whom  he  appointed  heir  of  all  things,  through 

3  whom  also  he  made  the  ^worlds;  Avho  being  the  efinl- 
gence  of  his  glory,  and  Hhe  very  image  of  his  sub- 
stance, and  upholding  all  things  by  the  word  of  his 
power,  when  he  had  made  purification   of  sins,  sat 

4  down  on  the  right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on  high ;  hav- 
ing become  by  so  much  better  than  the  angels,  as  ho 

5  hath  inherited  a  more  excellent  name  than  they.  For 
unto  which  of  the  angels  said  he  at  any  time, 

Thou  art  my  Son, 

This  day  have  I  begotten  thee? 
and  again, 

I  will  be  to  him  a  Father, 

And  he  shall  be  to  me  a  Son? 
6 '•And  when  he  again  "bringeth  in  the  firstborn  into 
'the  world  he  saith.  And  let  all  the  angels  of  God 

7  worship  him.     And  of  the  angels  he  saith, 

Who  maketh  his  angels  "winds. 
And  his  ministers  a  flame  of  fire : 

8  but  of  the  Son  he  saith, 

Thy  throne,  O  God,  is  for  ever  and  ever. 
And  the  sceptre  of  uprightness  is  the   sceptre   of 
*thy  kingdom. 

9  Thou  hast  loved  righteousness,  and  hated  iniquity  ; 
Therefore  God,  thy  God,  hath  anointed  thee 
With  the  oil  of  gladness  above  thy  fellows.  ' 

10  And,  [of  the  earth, 

Thou,  Lord,  in  the  beginning  hast  laid  the  foundation 
And  the  heavens  are  the  works  of  thy  hands : 
They  shall  perish  ;  but  thou  continuest : 
And  they  all  shall  wax  old  as  doth  a  garment; 
And  as  a  mantle  shalt  thou  roll  them  up. 
As  a  garment,  and  they  shall  be  changed : 
But  thou  art  the  .same. 
And  thy  years  shall  not  fail. 

13  But  of  which  of  the  angels  hath  he  said  at  any  time, 

Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand. 

Till  I  make  thine  enemies  the  footstool  of  thy  feet? 

14  Are  they  not  all  mini.'!teringspirit6,seut  forth  to  do  serv- 
ice for  the  sake  of  them  that  shall  inherit  salvation  ? 

^  Therefore  we  ought  to  give  the  more  earnest  heed 
to  the  things  tliat  were  heard,   lest  haply  we  drift 

2  away  from  them.  For  if  the  word  spoken  through 
angels  proved  stedfast,  and  every  transgression  and 
disobedience  received  a  just  recompense  of  reward;

3  *How  shall  we  escape,  if  we  neglect  so  great  salvation; 
'which  at  the  first  began  to  be  spoken  by  the  Lord,  and  was 
•confirmed  unto  us  by  them  that  heard  him; 

4  ■''God  also  bearing  them  witness,  'both  with  signs  and 
wonders,  and  with  divers  miracles,  and  ||*gifts  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  'according  to  his  own  will  ? 

6  For  unto  the  angels  hath  he  not  put  in  subjection  *the 
world  to  come  whereof  we  speak. 

6  But  one  in  a  certain  place  testified,  saying,  'What  is 
man,  that  thou  art  mindful  of  him  ?  or  the  son  of  man,  that 
thou  visitest  him  ? 

7  Thou  madest  him  |{a  little  lower  than  the  angels;  thou 
crownedst  him  with  glory  and  honour,  and  didst  set  him 
over  the  works  of  thy  hands : 

8  ""Thou  hast  put  all  things  in  subjection  under  his  feet. 
For  in  that  he  put  all  in  subjection  under  him,  he  left 
nothing  that  is  not  put  under  him.  But  now  "we  see  not 
yet  all  things  put  under  him. 

9  But  we  see  Jesus,  °who  Avas  made  a  little  lower  than  the 
angels  ||  for  the  suffering  of  death,  "crowned  with  glory  and 
honour ;  that  he  by  the  grace  of  God  should  taste  death  «for 
every  man. 

10  ''For  it  became  him,  'for  whom  are  all  things,  and  by 
whom  a»'e all  things,  inbriugingmany  sons  untoglory,to  make 
'the  Captain  of  their  salvation  "perfect  through  suiferings. 

11  For  'both  he  that  sanctifieth,  and  they  who  are  sancti- 
fied, "are  all  of  one :  for  which  cause  'he  is  not  ashamed  to 
call  them  brethren, 

12  Saying,  "I  will  declare  thy  name  unto  my  brethren,  in 
the  midst  of  the  church  will  I  sing  praise  unto  thee. 

13  And  again,  'I  will  put  my  trust  in  him.  And  again, 
'Behold  I  and  the  children  ''which  God  hath  given  me. 

14  Forasmuch  then  as  the  children  are  partakers  of  flesh 
and  blood,  he  'also  himself  likewise  took  part  of  the  same ; 
•'that  through  death  he  might  destroy  him  that  had  the 
power  of  death,  that  is,  the  devil ; 

15  And  deliver  them,  who  'through  fear  of  death  were 
all  their  lifetime  subject  to  bondage. 

16  For  verily  fhe  took  not  on  him  the  nature  of  angels; 
but  he  took  on  him  the  seed  of  A'bra-ham. 

17  Wherefore  in  all  things  it  behooved  him  'to  be  made 
like  unto  his  brethren,  that  he  might  be  'a  merciful  and 
faithful  High  Priest  in  things  pertaining  to  God,  to  make 
reconciliation  for  the  sins  of  the  people. 

18  *For  in  that  he  himself  hath  suffered  being  tempted, 
he  is  able  to  succour  them  that  are  tempted. 

CHAPTER    III. 

Christ  more  worthy  than  Moses. 

WHEREFORE,  holy  brethren,  partakers  of  "the  heavenly 
calling,  consider  ''the  Apostle  and  High  Priest  of  our 
profession,  Christ  Jesus ; 

2  Who  was  faithful  to  him  that  fappointed  him,  as  also 
'Mo'ses  was  faithful  in  all  his  house. 

3  For  this  man  was  counted  worthy  of  more  glory  than 
Mo'ses,  inasmuch  as  ''he  who  hath  builded  the  house  hath 
more  honour  than  the  house. 

4  For  every  house  is  builded  by  some  man;  but  "he  that 
built  all  things  is  God. 

5  'And  Mo'ses  verily  wa«  faithful  in  all  hishouseas'aservant, 
'for  a  testimony  of  those  things  which  were  to  be  spoken  after; 

6  But  Christ  as  'a  son  over  his  own  house :  *whose  house 
are  we,  'if  we  hold  fast  the  confidence  and  the  rejoicing  of 
the  hope  firm  unto  the  end. 

7  Wherefore  (as  ™the  Holy  Ghost  saith,  "To-day  if  ye  will 
hear  his  voice, 

8  Harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in  the  provocation,  in  the 
day  of  temptation  in  the  wilderness : 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted  me,  proved  me,  and  saw  my 
works  forty  years. 


3  how  shall  we  escape,  if  we  neglect  so  great  salva 
tion  ?  which  having  at  the  first  been  spoken  through 
the    Lord,   was   confirmed    unto    us   by   them   that 

4  heard ;  God  also  bearing  witness  with  them,  both  by 
signs  and  wonders,  and  by  manifold  powers,  and  by 
'gifts  of  the^'IIjly  Ghost,  according  to  his  own  will. 

6      For  not  unto  angels  did  he  subject  Hhe  world  to 

6  come,  whereof  we  speak.  But  one  hath  somewhere 
testified,  saying, 

What  is  man,  that  thou  art  mindful  of  him  ? 
Or  the  son  of  man,  that  thou  visitest  him  ? 

7  Thou  madest  him  *&  little  lower  than  the  angels ; 
Thou  crownedst  him  Avith  glory  and  honour, 
*And  didst  set  him  over  the  works  of  thy  hands : 

8  Thou  didst  put  all  things  in  subjection  under  his  feet. 
For  in  that  he  subjected  all  things  unto  him,  he  left 
nothing  that  is  not  subject  to  him.      But  now  we 

9  see  not  yet  all  things  subjected  to  him.  But  we 
behold  him  who  hath  been  made  *&  little  lower  than 
the  angels,  even  Jesus,  because  of  the  suffering  of 
death  crowned  with  glory  and  honour,  that  by  the 
grace  of  God  he  should  taste  death  for  every  man. 

10  For  it  became  him,  for  whom  are  all  things,  and 
through  whom  are  all  things,  "in  bringing  many 
sons  unto  glory,  to  make  the  'author  of  their  salva- 

11  tion  perfect  through  sufferings.  For  both  he  that 
sanctifieth  and  they  that  are  sanctified  are  all  of  one : 
for  which    cause    he    is    not  ashamed  to  call  them 

12  brethren,  saying, 

I  will  declare  thy  name  unto  my  brethren, 

In  the  midstof  the'congregation  will  I  sing  thy  praise. 

13  And  again,  I  will  put  my  trust  in  him.  And  again, 
Behold,  I  and  the  children  which   God  hath  given 

14  me.  Since  then  the  children  are  sharers  in  'flesh 
and  blood,  he  also  himself  in  like  manner  partook 
of  the  same ;  that  through  death  he  "might  bring 
to   nought  him  that  "had  the  power  of  death,  that 

15 is,  the  devil;  and  '"might  deliver  all  them  who 
through  fear  of  death  were  all  their  lifetime  subject 

16  to  bondage.  For  verily  not  of  angels  doth  he  take 
hold,  but  he  taketh  hold  of  the  seed  of  A'bra-ham. 

17  Wherefore  it  behoved  him  in  all  things  to  be  made 
like  unto  his  brethren,  that  he  might  be  a  merciful 
and  faithful  high  priest  in  things  pertaining  to  God, 
to    make   propitiation    for   the   sins  of  the  people. 

18  '^For  "in  that  he  himself  hath  suffered  being  tempted, 
he  is  able  to  succour  them  that  are  tempted. 

O  Wherefore,  holy  brethren,  partakers  of  a  heavenly 
calling,  consider   the   Apostle   and    High  Priest  of 

2 our  confession,  even  Jesus;  who  was  faithful  to  him 
that  '^appointed  him,  as  also  was  Mo'ses  in  all  ''his 

3  house.  For  he  hath  been  counted  worthy  of  more 
glory  than  Mo'ses,  by  so  much  as  he  that  "built  the 

4  house  hath  more  honour  than  the  house.  For 
every  house  is  "builded  by  some  one;   but  he  that 

5  "built  all  things  is  God.  And  Mo'ses  indeed  was 
faithful  in  all  "his  house  as  a  servant,  for  a  testimony 
of  those  things  which  were  afterward  to  be  spoken ; 

6  but  Christ  as  a  son,  over  "his  house;  whose  house 
are  we,  if  we  hold  fast  our  boldness  and  the  glory- 

7ing  of  our  hope  firm  unto  the  end.  Wherefore, 
even  as  the  Holy  Ghost  saith. 

To-day  if  ye  shall  hear  his  voice, 
8    Harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in  the  provocation. 

Like  as  in  the  day  of  the  temptation  in  the  wilder-

10  Wherefore  I  was  grieved  with  that  generation,  and 
said,  They  do  always  err  in  their  heart;  and  they  have 
not  known  my  ways. 

11  8o  I  sware  in  my  wrath,  fThey  shall  not  enter  into  my 
rest.) 

12  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  there  be  in  any  ofyou  an  evil 
heart  of  unbelief,  in  departing  from  the  living  God. 

13  But  exhort  one  another  daily,  while  it  is  called  To-day ; 
lest  any  of  you  be  hardened  through  the  deceitfulness  of 
sin. 

14  For  we  are  made  partakers  of  Christ,  'if  we  hold  the 
beginning  of  our  confidence  steadfast  unto  the  end ; 

15  While  it  is  said,  "To-day  if  ye  will  hear  his  voice, 
harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in  the  provocation. 

16  'For  some,  Avhen  they  had  heard,  did  provoke:  how- 
beit  not  all  that  came  out  of  E'gypt  by  Mo'ses. 

17  But  with  whom  was  he  grieved  forty  years?  was  it  not 
with  them  that  had  sinned,  'whose  carcasses  fell  in  the 
wilderness  ? 

18  And  "to  whom  sware  he  that  they  should  not  enter 
into  his  rest,  but  to  them  that  believed  not? 

19  'So  we  see  that  they  could  not  enter  in  because  of 
unbelief. 

CHAPTER   IV. 

Xest  attained  by  faiih. 

LET  "us  therefore  fear,  lest,  a   promise  being  left  us  of 
entering  into  his  rest,  any  of  you  should  seem  to  come 
short  of  it. 

2  For  unto  us  was  the  gospel  preached,  as  well  as  unto 
them :  but  fthe  word  preached  did  not  profit  them,  ||  not 
being  mixed  with  faith  in  them  that  heard  it. 

3  ""For  we  which  have  believed  do  enter  into  rest,  as  he 
said,  "As  I  have  sworn  in  my  wrath,  if  they  shall  enter  into 
my  rest:  although  the  works  were  finished  from  the 
foundation  of  the  world. 

4  For  he  spake  in  a  certain  place  of  the  seventh  day  on 
this  wise,  ""And  God  did  rest  the  seventh  day  from  all 
his  works. 

5  And  in  this  flace  again.  If  they  shall  enter  into  my  rest. 

6  Seeing  therefore  it  remaineth  that  some  must  enter 
therein,  'and  they  to  whom  ||it  was 'first  preached  entered 
not  in  because  of  unbelief: 

7  Again,  he  limiteth  a  certain  day,  saying  in  Da'vid,  To- 
day, after  so  long  a  time ;  as  it  is  said,  ^To-day  if  ye  will 
hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your  hearts. 

8  For  if  II  Je'sus  had  given  them  rest,  then  would  he  not 
afterward  have  spoken  of  another  day. 

9  There  remaineth  therefore  a  ||  rest  to  the  people  of  God. 

10  For  he  that  is  entered  into  his  rest,  he  also  hath  ceased 
from  his  own  works,  as  God  did  from  his. 

11  Let  us  labour  therefore  to  enter  into  that  rest,  lest  any 
man  fall  "after  the  same  example  of  ||  unbelief. 

12  For  the  word  of  God  is  *quick,  and  powerful,  and 
'sharper  than  any  Hwoedged  sword,  piercing  even  to  the 
dividing  asunder  of  soul  and  spirit,  and  6f  the  joints  and 
marrow,  and  is  'a  discerner  of  the  thoughts  and  intents  of 
the  heart. 

13  "Neither  is  there  any  creature  that  is  not  manifest  in 
his  sight:  but  all  things  are  naked  "and  opened  unto  the 
eyes  of  him  with  whom  we  have  to  do. 

14  Seeing  then  that  we  have  °a  great  High  Priest,  "that  is 

!)assed  into  the  heavens,  Jesus  the  Son  of  God,  'let  us  hold 
ast  our  profession. 

15  For  'we  have  not  an  high  priest  which  can  not  be  touched 
with  the  feeling  of  our  infirmities :  but  'was  in  all  points 
tempted  like  as  we  are,  ^yet  without  sin. 

16  "Let  us  therefore  come  boldly  unto  the  throne  of  grace, 
that  we  may  obtain  mercy  and  find  grace  to  help  in  time  of 
need. 


10 


11 


Wherefore  I  was  displeased  with  this  generation, 
And  said.  They  do  alway  err  in  their  heart : 
But  they  did  not  know  my  ways; 
As  I  sware  in  my  wrath, 
'They  shall  not  enter  into  my  rest. 
12  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  haply  there  shall  be  in  any 
one  of  you  an  evil  heart  of  unbelief,  in  falling  away 
13 from  the  living  God:    but  exhort  one  another  day 
by  day,  so  long  as  it  is  called  To-day ;  lest  any  one 
of  you    be    hardened   by   the    deceitfulness  of  sin : 
14  for  we  are  become  partakei-s  ^of  Christ,  if  we  hold 
fast  the  beginning  of  our  confidence  firm  unto  the 
15 end:  while  it  is  said. 

To-day  if  ye  shall  hear  his  voice, 
Harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in  the  provocation. 
16 For  Avho,  when  they  heard,  did  provoke?  nay,  did 
not  all  they  that  came  out  of  E'gypt  by  Mo'ses? 

17  And  with  whom  was  he  displeased  forty  years  ? 
was  it  not  with  them  that  sinned,  whose  'carcases 

18  fell  in  the  wilderness?  And  to  whom  sware  he  that 
they  should  not  enter  into  his  rest,  but  to  them  that 

19 were  disobedient?  And  we  see  that  they  were  not 
able  to  enter  in  because  of  unbelief. 

^     Let  us  fear  therefore,  lest  haply,  a  promise  being 

left  of  entering  into  his  rest,  any  one  of  you  should 

2  seem  to  have  come  short  of  it.     For  indeed  we  have 

had  *good  tidings  preached  unto  us,  even  as  also  they 

but  the  word  of  hearing  did  not  profit  them,  because 

'they  were  no*'  united  by  faith  with  them  that  heard. 

3 'For  we  which  nave  believed  do  enter  into  that  rest; 

even  as  he  hath  said. 

As  I  sware  in  my  wrath, 

'Th^y  shall  not  enter  into  my  rest: 

although  the  works  were  finished  from  the  foundation 

4  of  the  world.  For  he  hath  said  somewhere  of  the 
seventh  day  on  this  wise,  And  God  rested  on  the  sev 

5  enth  day  from  all  his  works;  and  in  ih.is place  again, 

*They  shall  not  enter  into  my  rest. 

6  Seeing  therefore  it  remaineth  that  some  should  enter 
thereinto,  and  they  to  whom  'the  good  tidings  were 
before  preached  failed  to  enter  in  because  of  disobedi 

7  ence,  he  again  defineth  a  certain  day,'sayingin  Da'vid, 
after  so  long  a  time,  To-day,  as  it  hath  been  before  said. 

To-day  if  ye  shall  hear  his  voice. 
Harden  not  your  hearts. 

8  Forif 'Josh'u-a  had  given  them  rest,  he  would  not  have 

9  spoken  afterward  of  another  day.     There  remaineth 

10  therefore  a  sabbath  rest  for  the  people  of  God.  For  he 
that  is  entered  into  his  rest  hath  himself  also  rested 

1 1  from  his  works,  as  God  did  from  his.  Let  us  there- 
fore give  diligence  to  enter  into  that  rest,  that  no  man 

12  fall  '"after  the  same  example  of  disobedience.  For 
the  word  of  God  is  living,  and  active,  and  sharper 
than  any  two-edged  sword,  and  piercing  even  to  the 
dividing  of  soul  and  spirit,  of  both  joints  and  marrow, 
and  quick  to  discern  the  thoughts  and  intents  of  the 

13  heart.  And  there  is  no  creature  that  is  not  manifest 
in  his  sight :  but  all  things  are  naked  and  laid  open 
before  the  eyes  of  him  with  whom  we  have  to  do. 

14  Having  then  a  great  high  priest,  who  hath  passed 
through  the  heavens,  Jesus  the  Son  of  God,  let  us 

15  hold  fa.st  our  confession.  For  we  have  not  a  high 
priest  that  canpot  be  touched  with  the  feeling  of  our 
infirmities;  but  one   that  hath   been   in    all   points 

16  tempted  like  as  we  are,  yet  without  sin.  Let  us 
therefore  draw  near  with  boldness  unto  the  throne 
of  grace,  that  we  may  receive  mercy,  and  may  find 
grace  to  help  us  in  time  of  need.

Of  Christ^s  priesthood. 

Ij^OR  every  high  priest  taken  from  among  men   "is   or- 
-     dained  for  men  ''in  things  pertaining  to  God,  "that  -he 
may  offer  both  gifts  and  sacrifices  for  sins : 

2  ''Who  II  can  have  compassion  on  the  ignorant,  and  on 
them  that  are  out  of  the  way ;  for  that  'he  himself  also  is 
compassed  with  infirmity. 

3  And  -'^by  reason  hereof  he  ought,  as  for  the  people,  so 
also  for  himself,  to  offer  for  sins. 

4  'And  no  man  taketh  'his  honour  unto  himself,  but  he 
that  is  called  of  God,  as  ''was  Aa'ron : 

5  'So  also  Christ  glorified  not  himself  to  be  made  a  high 
priest ;  but  he  that  said  unto  him,  *Thou  art  my  Son,  to-day 
have  I  begotten  thee. 

6  As  he  saith  also  in  another  place,  'Thou  art  a  priest  for 
ever  after  the  order  of  Mel-chis'e-deo. 

7  Who  in  the  days  of  his  flesh,  when  he  had  ""offered  up 
prayers  and  supplications  "with  strong  crying  and  tears  unto 
him  "that  was  able  to  save  him  from  death,  and  was  heard 
II "in  that  he  feared; 

8  'Though  he  were  a  Son,  yet  learned  he  ''obedience  by 
the  things  which  he  suffered; 

9  And  'being  made  perfect,  he  became  the  author  of  eternal 
salvation  unto  all  them  that  obey  him ; 

10  Called  of  God  a  high  priest  'after  the  order  of  Mel- 
chis'e-dec. 

11  Of  whom  "we  have  many  things  to  say,  and  hard  to 
be  uttered,  seeing  ye  are  ''dull  of  hearing. 

12  For  when  for  the  time  ye  ought  to  be  teachers,  ye  have 
need  that  one  teach  you  again  which  be  "the  first  principles 
of  the  oracles  of  God;  and  are  become  such  as  have  need 
of  'milk,  and  not  of  strong  meat. 

13  For  every  one  that  useth  milk,  fw  unskilful  in  the 
word  of  righteousness:  for  he  is  "a  babe. 

14  But  strong  meat  belongeth  to  them  that  are  ||  of  full 
age,  even  those  who  by  reason  ||  of  use  have  their  senses 
exercised  Ho  discern  both  good  and  evil. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

The  danger  of  apostasy. 

THEREFORE  ''leaving  ||  the  principles  of  the  doctrine  of 
Christ,  letusgoon  unto  perfection;  notlayingagainthefoun- 
dation  of  repentance  ''from  dead  works,and  of  faith  toward  God, 

2  "Of  the  doctrine  of  baptisms,  ''and  of  laying  on  of  hands, 
"and  of  resurrection  of  the  dead,  -^and  of  eternal  judgment. 

3  And  this  will  we  do,  "if  God  permit. 

4  For  St  is  impossible  for  those  'who  were  once  enlight- 
ened, and  have  tasted  of  *the  heavenly  gift,  and  'were  made 
partakers  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 

5  And  have  tasted  the  good  word  of  God,  and  the  powers 
of  ""the  world  to  come, 

6  If  they  shall  fall  away,  to  renew  them  again  unto  repent- 
ance; 'seeing  they  crucify  to  themselves  the  Son  of  God 
afresh,  and  put  him  to  an  open  shame.' 

7  For  the  earth  which  drinketh  in  the  rain  that  cometh 
oft  upon  it,  and  bringeth  forth  herbs  meet  for  them  ||  by 
whom  it  is  dressed,  "receiveth  blessing  from  God : 

8  "But  that  which  beareth  thorns  and  briers  is  rejected,, 
and  is  nigh  unto  cursing;  whose  end  is  to  be  burned. 

9  But,  beloved,  we  are  persuaded  better  things  of  you,  and 
things  that  accompany  salvation,  though  we  thus  speak. 

10  'For  ''God  is  not  unrighteous  to  forget  'your  work  and 
labour  of  love,  which  ye  have  shewed  toward  his  name,  in 
that  ye  have  'ministered  to  the  saints,  and  do  minister. 

11  And  we  desire  that  "every  one  of  you  do  shew  the  same 
diligence  ''to  the  full  assurance  of  hope  unto  the  end : 

12  That  ye  be  not  slothful,  but  followers  of  them  who 
through  faith  and  patience  "inherit  the  promises. 


V  For  every  high  priest,  being  taken  from  among 
men,  is  appointed  for  men  in  things  pertaining  to 
God,  that  he  may  offer  both  gifts  and  sacrifices  for 

2 sins:  who  can  bear  gently  with  the  ignorant  and 
erring,  for  that  he  himself  also   is  compassed  with 

3  infirmity  ;  and  by  reason  thereof  is  bound,  as  for  the 

4  people,  so  also  for  himself,  to  offer  for  sins.  And  no 
man  taketh  the  honour  unto  himself,  but  when  he 

5  is  called  of  God,  even  as  was  Aa'ron.  So  Christ  also 
glorified  not  himself  to  be  made  a  high  priest,  but 
he  that  spake  unto  him, 

Thou  art  my  Son, 
This  day  have  I  begotten  thee: 
Gas  he  saith  also  in  another  j»/ace. 
Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever 
After  the  order  of  Mel-chiz'e-dek, 

7  Who  in  the  days  of  his  flesh,  having  offered  up 
prayers  and  supplications  with  strong  crying  and 
tears  unto  him  that  was  able  to  save  him  'from 
death,  and  having  been    heard   for  his  godly   fear, 

8  though  he  was  a  Son,  yet  learned  obedience  by  the 
9 things  which  he  suffered;   and   having  been  made 

perfect,  he  became  unto  all  them  that  obey  him  the 

10  ^author  of  eternal  salvation ;  named  of  God  a  high 
priest  after  the  order  of  Mel-chiz'e-dek. 

11  Of  'whom  we  have  many  things  to  say,  and  hard 
of  interpretation,  seeing  ye  are  become  dull  of  hear- 

12ing.  For  when  by  reason  of  the  time  ye  ought  to 
be  teachers,  ye  have  need  again  Hhat  some  one 
teach  you  the  rudiments  of  the  "first  principles  of 
the  oracles  of  God;  and  are  become  such  as   have 

13  need  of  milk,  and  not  of  solid  food.  For  every  one 
that  partaketh  of  milk  is  without  experience  of  the 

14  word  of  righteousness ;  for  he  is  a  babe.  But  solid 
food  is  for  'fullgrown  men,  even  those  who  by  rea- 
son of  use  have  their  senses  exercised  to  discern 
good  and  evil. 

0  Wherefore  let  us  'cease  to  speak  of  the  first  prin- 
ciples of  Christ,  and  press  on  unto  ^perfection ;  not 
laying  again  a  foundation  of  repentance  from  dead 

2  works,  and  of  faith  toward  God,  'of  the  teaching  of 
"baptisms,  and  of  laying  on  of  hands,  and  of  resur- 

3  rection  of  the  dead,  and  of  eternal  judgement.     And 

4  this  will  we  do,  if  God  permit.  For  as  touching 
those  who  were  once  enlightened  "and  tasted  of  the 
heavenly  gift,  and  were  made  partakers  of  the  Holy 

5  Ghost,  and  '^tasted  the  good  word  of  God,  and  the 

6  powers  of  the  age  to  come,  and  then  fell  away,  it  is 
impossible  to  renew  them  again  unto  repentance ; 
"seeing  they  crucify  to  themselves  the  Son  of  God 

7  afresh,  and  put  him  to  an  open  shame.  For  the 
land  which  hath  drunk  the  rain  that  cometh  oft  upon 
it,  and  bringeth  forth  herbs  meet  for  them  for  whose 
sake  it  is  also  tilled,  receiveth   blessing  from  God : 

8  but  if  it  beareth  thorns  and  thistles,  it  is  rejected 
and  nigh  unto  a  curse;  whose  end  is  to  be  burned. 

9  But,  beloved,  we  are  persuaded  better  things  of 
you,  and  things  that  "accompany  salvation,  though 

10  we  thus  speak :  for  God  is  not  unrighteous  to  forget 
your  work  and  the  love  which  ye  shewed  toward 
his  name,  in  that  ye  ministered  unto  the  saints,  and 

11  still  do  minister.  And  we  desire  that  each  one  of 
you  may  shew  the  same  diligence  unto  the  "fulness 

1 2  of  hope  even  to  the  end :  that  ye  be  not  sluggish, 
but  imitators  of  them  who  through  faith  and  patience 
inherit  the  promises.

13  For  when  God  made  promise  to  A'bra-ham,  because  he 
could  swear  by  no  greater,  'he  sware  by  himself, 

14  Saying,  Surely  blessing  I  will  bless  thee,  and  multiply- 
ing I  Avill  multiply  thee. 

15  And  so,  after  he  had  patiently  endured,  he  obtained 
the  promise. 

16  For  men  verily  swear  by  the  greater  :  and  "an  oath  for 
confirmation  is  to  them  an  end  of  all  strife. 

17  Wherein  God,  willing  more  abundantly  to  shew  unto 
Hhe  heirs  of  promise  "the  immutability  of  his  counsel,  fcon- 
firmed  it  by  an  oath : 

18  That  by  two  immutable  things,  in  which  it  was  impos- 
sible for  God  to  lie,  we  might  have  a.  strong  consolation,  who 
have  fled  for  refuge  to  lay  hold  upon  the  hope  ''set  before  us : 

19  Which  hope  we  have  as  an  anchor  of  the  soul,  both  sure 
and  steadfast,  'and  which  entereth  into  that  within  the  veil; 

20  AVhither  the  forerunner  is  for  us  entered,  even  Jesus, 
'made  a  high  priest  for  ever  after  the  order  of  Mel-chis'e-dec. 

CHAPTER    VH. 

Melckisedec  and  Christ. 

FOR  this  "Mel-chis'e-dec,  king  of  Sa'lem,  priest  of  the 
most  high  God,  who  met  A'bra-ham  returning  from  the 
slaughter  of  the  kings,  and  blessed  him ; 

2  To  whom  also  A'bra-ham  gave  a  tenth  part  of  all ;  first 
being  by  interpretation  King  of  righteousness,  and  after 
that  also  King  of  Sa'lem,  which  is.  King  of  peace ; 

3  Without  fether,  without  mother,  fwithout  descent,  hav- 
ing neither  beginning  of  days,  nor  end  of  life ;  but  made 
like  unto  the  Son  of  God ;  abideth  a  priest  continually. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this  man  was,  ""unto  whom  even 
the  patriarch  A'bra-ham  gave  the  tenth  of  the  spoils. 

5  And  verily  "they  that  are  of  the  sons  of  Le'vi,  who  receive 
the  office  of  the  priesthood,  have  a  commandment  to  take 
tithes  of  the  people  according  to  the  law,  that  is,  of  their 
brethren,  though  they  come  out  of  the  loins  of  A'bra-ham : 

6  But  he  whose  |{  descent  is  not  counted  from  them  re- 
ceived tithes  of  A'bra-ham,  ''and  blessed  'him  that  had  the 
promises. 

7  And  withoutall  contradiction  the  less  is  blessed  of  the  better. 

8  And  here  men  that  die  receive  tithes;  but  there  he  re- 
ceiveth  than,  ■'of  whom  it  is  witnessed  that  he  liveth. 

9  And  as  I  may  so  say,  Le'vi  also,  who  receiveth  tithes, 
payed  tithes  in  A'bra-ham. 

10  For  he  was  yet  in  the  loins  of  his  fether,  when  Mel- 
chis'e-dec  met  him. 

1 1  "If  therefore  perfection  were  by  the  Le-vit'i-cal  priesthood, 
(for  under  it  the  people  received  the  law,)  what  further  need 
was  there  that  another  priest  should  rise  after  the  order  of 
Mel-chis'e-dec,  and  not  be  called  after  the  order  of  Aa'ron  ? 

12  For  the  priesthood  being  changed,  there  is  made  of 
necessity  a  change  also  of  the  law. 

13  For  he  of  whom  these  things  are  spoken  pertaineth  to 
another  tribe,  of  which  no  man  gave  attendance  at  the  altar. 

14  For  it  is  evident  that  *our  Lord  sprang  out  of  Ju'da;  of 
which  tribe  Mo'ses  spake  nothing  concerning  priesthood. 

15  And  it  is  yet  far  more  evident:  for  that  after  the  simili- 
tude of  Mel-chis'e-dec  there  ariseth  another  priest, 

16  Who  is  made,  not  after  the  law  of  a  carnal  command- 
ment, but  after  the  power  of  an  endless  life. 

17  For  he  testifieth,  *Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever  afi«r  the 
order  of  Mel-chis'e-dec. 

18  For  there  is  verily  a  disannulling  of  the  command- 
ment going  before  for  Hhe  weakness  and  unprofitableness 
thereof^ 

19  For  "the  law  made  nothing  perfect,  ||  but  the  bringing  in 
of  ""a  better  hope  did;  by  the  which  we  "draw  nigh  unto  God. 

20  And  inasmuch  as  not  without  an  oath  he  was  made  priest: 

21  (For  those  priests  were  made  ||  without  an  oath; 
but    this    with    an    oath    by    him    that    said   unto    him. 


13  For  when  God  made  promise  to  A'bra-ham,  since 
he  could  swear  by  none  greater,  he  sware  by  him- 

14  self,  saying,   Surely  blessing  I  will  bless  thee^  and 

15  multiplying  I  will  multiply  thee.     And  thus,  having 

16  patiently  endured,  he  obtained  the  promise.  For 
men  swear  by  the  greater:  and  in  every  dispute  of 

17  theirs  the  oath  is  final  for  confirmation.  Wherein 
God,  being  minded  to  shew  more  abundantly  unto 
the  heirs   of  the   promise   the    immutability  of  Lis 

18 counsel,  'interposed  with  an  oath:  that  by  two  im- 
mutable things,  in  which  it  is  impossible  for  God  to 
lie,  we  may  hare  a  strong  encouragement,  who  have 
fled  for  refuge  to  lay  hold  of  the  hope  set  before  us ; 

19  which  we  have  as  an  anchor  of  the  soul,  a  hope  both 
sure  and  stedfast  and  entering  into  that  which  is 

20  within  the  veil ;  whither  as  a  forerunner  Jesus  en- 
tered for  us,  having  become  a  high  priest  for  ever 
after  the  order  of  Aiel-chiz'e-dek. 

*  For  this  Mel-chiz'e-dek,  king  of  Sa'lem,  priest  of 
God  Most  High,  who  met  A'bra-ham  returning  from 

2the  slaughter  of  the  kings,  and  blessed  him,  to  whom 
also  A'bra-ham  divided  a  tenth  part  of  all  (being  first, 
by  interpretation,  King   of  righteousness,  and  then 

3  also  King  of  Sa'lem,  which  is,  King  of  peace ;  without 
father,  without  mother,  without  genealogy,  having 
neither  beginning  of  days  nor  epd  of  life,  but  made  like 
unto  the  Son  of  God),  abideth  a  priest  continually. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this  man  was,  unto  whom 
A'bra-ham,  the  patriarch,  gave  a  tenth  out  of  the  chief 

5  spoils.  And  they  indeed  of  the  sons  of  Le'vi  that 
receive  the  priest's  ofiice  have  commandment  to  take 
tithes  of  the  people  according  to  the  law,  that  is, 
of  their  brethren,  though  these  have  come  out  of  the 

6  loins  of  A'bra-ham :  but  he  whose  genealogy  is  not 
counted  from  them  hath  iaken  tithes  of  A'bra-ham, 

7  and  hath  blessed  him  that  hath  the  promises.  But 
without  any  dispute  the  less  is  blessed  of  the  better. 

8  And  here  men  that  die  receive  tithes ;  but  there  one, 

9  of  whom  it  is  witnessed  that  he  liveth.  And,  so  to 
say,  through  A'bra-ham  even  Le'vi,  who  receiveth 

10 tithes,  hath  paid  tithes;  for  he  was  yet  in  the  loins 

of  his  father,  when  Mel-chiz'e-dek  met  him. 
11     Now  if  there  was  perfection  through  the  Le-vjt'i-cal 

firiesthood  (for  under  it  hath  the  people  received  the 
aw),  what  further  need  was  there  that  another  priest 
should  arise  after  the  order  of  Mel-chiz'e-dek,  and  not 
12 be  reckoned  after  the  order  of  Aa'ron?     For  the 
priesthood  being  changed,  there  is  made  of  necessity 

13  a  change  also  ^of  the  law.  For  he  of  whom  these 
things  are  said  ^belongeth  to  another  tribe,  from 
which  no  man  hath  given  attendance  at  the  altar. 

14  For  it  is  evident  that  our  Lord  hath  sprung  out  of 
Ju'dah;  as  to  which  tribe  Mo'ses  spake  nothing  con- 

15  cerning  priests.  And  what  we  say  is  yet  more  abun- 
dantly evident,  if  after  the  likeness  of  Mel-chiz'e-dek 

16  there  ariseth  another  priest,  who  hath  been  made,  not 
after  the  law  of  a  carnal  commandment,  but  after  the 

17  power  of  an  'endless  life:  for  it  is  witnessed  of  him. 

Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever 

After  the  order  of  Mel-chiz'e-dek. 

18  For  there  is  a  disannulling  of  a  foregoing  command- 
ment because   of  its  weakness  and  unprofitableness 

19(for  the  law  made  nothing  perfect),  and  a  bringing 
in  thereupon    of  a  better  hope,  through    which  we 

20  draw   nigh    unto   God.     And  inasmuch  as  it  is  not 

21  without  the  taking  of  an  oath  (for  they  indeed  have 
been  made  priests  without  an  oath;  but  he  with  an 
oath  'by  him  that  saith  'of  him,

"The  Lord  sware  and  will  not  repent,  Thou  art  a  priest  for 
ever  after  the  order  of  Mel-ehis'e-dec :) 

22  By  so  much  ""was  Jesus  made  a  surety  of  a  better  testament. 

23  And  they  truly  were  many  priests,  because  they  were 
not  suffered  to  continue  by  reason  of  death : 

24  But  this  man,  because  he  continueth  ever,  hath  ||  an  un- 
changeable priesthood. 

25  Wherefore  he  is  able  also  to  save  them  ||  to  the  utter- 
most that  come  unto  God  by  him,  seeing  he  ever  liveth  'to 
make  intercession  for  them. 

26  For  such  a  high  priest  became  us,  ''who  is  holy,  harm- 
less, undefiled,  separate  from  sinners,  "and  made  higher  than 
the  heavens ; 

27  "Who  needeth  not  daily,  as  those  high  priests,  to  offer 
up  sacrifice,  'first  for  his  own  sins,  "and  then  for  the  people's: 
for  ^this  he  did  once,  when  he  offered  up  himisclf. 

28  For  the  law  maketh  "men  high  priests  which  have  in- 
firmity; but  the  word  of  the  oath,  which  was  since  the  law, 
maketh  the  Son,  'who  is  fconsecrated  for  evermore. 

CHAPTER    VIII. 

Excellency  of  Chrisfs  priesthood, 

"VTOW  of  the  things  which  we  have  spoken  this  is  the 
-LN  sum :  We  have  such  a  high  priest,  "who  is  set  on  the 
right  hand  of  the  throne  of  the  Majesty  in  the  heavens; 

2  A  minister  ||  of  Hhe  sanctuary,  and  of  'the  true  taber- 
nacle, which  the  Lord  pitched,  and  not  man. 

3  For  ''every  high  priest  is  ordained  to  offer  gifts  and  sacri- 
fices :  wherefore  'it  is  of  necessity  that  this  man  have  some- 
what also  to  offer. 

4  For  if  he  were  on  earth,  he  should  not  be  a  priest,  see- 
ing that  II  there  are  priests  that  offer  gifts  according  to  the 
law : 

5  Who  serve  unto  the  example  and  ■'shadow  of  heavenly 
things,  as  Mo'ses  was  admonished  of  God  when  he  was  about 
to  make  the  tabernacle :  "for,  See,  saith  he,  that  thou  make 
all  things  according  to  the  pattern  shewed  to  thee  in  the 
mount. 

6  But  now  *hath  he  obtained  a  more  excellent  ministry,  by 
how  much  also  he  is  the  mediator  of  a  better  ||  covenant, 
which  was  established  upon  better  promises. 

7  'For  if  that  first  covenant  had  been  faultless,  then  should 
no  place  have  been  sought  for  the  second. 

8  For  finding  fault  with  them,  he  saith,  *Behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  when  I  will  make  a  new  covenant  with 
the  house  of  Is'ra-el  and  with  the  house  of  Ju'dah: 

9  Not  according  to  the  covenant  that  I  made  with  their 
fathers,  in  the  day  when  I  took  them  by  the  hand  to  lead 
them  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt;  because  they  continued 
not  in  my  covenant,  and  I  regarded  them  not,  saith  the 
Lord. 

10  For  'this  is  the  covenant  that  I  will  make  with  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  after  those  days,  saith  the  Lord ;  I  will  fput  my 
laws  into  their  mind,  and  write  them  ||  in  their  hearts:  and 
"I  will  be  to  them  a  God,  and  they  shall  be  to  me  a 
people : 

1 1  And  "they  shall  not  teach  every  man  his  neighbour,  and 
every  man  his  brother,  saying.  Know  the  Lord :  for  all  shall 
know  me,  from  the  least  to  the  greatest. 

12  For  I  will  be  merciful  to  their  unrighteousness,  "and 
their  sins  and  their  iniquities  will  I  remember  no  more. 

13  ""In  that  he  saith,  A  new  covenant,  he  hath  made  the 
first  old.  Now  that  which  decayeth  and  waxeth  old  is 
ready  to  vanish  away. 

CHAPTER    IX, 

E^cacy  of  the  blood  of  Christ. 

THEN  verily  the  first  covenant  had  also   ||  ordinances  of 
divine  service,  and  "a  Avorldly  sanctuary. 
2  'For  there  was  a  tabernacle  made ;   the  first,  'wherein 


The  Lord  sware  and  will  not  repent  himself. 
Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever) ; 

22  by  so  much  also  hath  Jesus  become  the  surety  of  a 

23  better  'covenant.  And  they  indeed  have  been  made 
priests  many  in  number,  because  that  by  death  they 

24 are  hindered  from  continuing:  but  he,  because  he 
abideth  for  ever,  ^hath  his  priesthood  'unchangeable. 

25  Wherefore  also  he  is  able  to  save  Ho  the  uttermost 
them  that  draw  near  unto  God  through  him,  seeing 
he  ever  liveth  to  make  intercession  for  them. 

26  For  such  a  high  priest  became  us,  holy,  guileless, 
undefiled,  separated  from  sinners,  and  made  higher 

27  than  the  heavens ;  who  needeth  not  daily,  like  those 
high  priests,  to  offer  up  sacrifices,  first  for  his  own 
sins,  and  then  for  the  sins  of  the  people :  for  this  he 

28  did  once   for  all,  when  he  offered  up  himself.     For 
the  law  appointeth  men  high  priests,  having  infirm 
ity;  but  the  Avord  of  the  oath,  which  was  after  the 
law,  appointeth  a  Son,  perfected  for  evermore. 

O  *Now  'in  the  things  which  we  are  saying  the  chief 
point  is  this :  We  have  such  a  high  priest,  who  sat 
down  on  the  right  hand  of  the  throne  of  the  Majesty 

2  in  the  heaven.s,  a  minister  of  'the  sanctuary,  and  of 
the  true  tabernacle,  which   the    Lord    pitched,    not 

3  man.  For  every  high  priest  is  appointed  to  offer 
both  gifts  and  sacrifices:  wherefore  it  is  necessary 
that  this  high  priest  also   have   somewhat  to   offer 

4  Now  if  he  were  on  earth,  he  would  not  be  a  priest 
at  all,  seeing  there  are  those  who  offer  the  gifts  ac 

5  cording  to  the  law ;  who  serve  that  which  is  a  copy 
and  shadow  of  the  heavenly  things,  even  as  Mo'ses  is 
warned  of  God  when  he  is  about  to  'make  the  taber- 
nacle: for,  See,  saith  he,  that  thou  make  all  things 
according  to  the  pattern  that  was  shewed  thee  in  the 

6  mount.  But  now  hath  he  obtained  a  ministry  the 
more  excellent,  by  how  much  also  he  is  the  mediator 
of  a  better  'covenant,  which  hath  been  enacted  upon 

7  better  promises.  For  if  that  first  covenant  had  been 
faultless,   then  would  no  place  have  been  sought  for 

8  a  second.     For  finding  fault  with  them,  he  saith, 

Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
That  I  will  'make  a  new  'covenant  with  the  house 
of  Is'ra-el  and  with  the  house  of  Ju'dah; 

9  Not  according  to  the  'covenant  that  I  made  with 

their  fathers 

In  the  day  that  I  took  them  by  the  hand  to  lead 
them  forth  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt ; 

For  they  continued  not  in  my  'covenant. 

And  I  regarded  them  not,  saith  the  Lord. 

For  this  is  the  'covenant  that  '"I  will  make  with  the 
house  of  Is'ra-el 

After  those  days,  saith  the  Lord; 

I  will  put  my  laws  into  their  mind, 

And  on  their  heart  also  will  I  write  them: 

And  I  will  be  to  them  a  God, 

And  they  shall  be  to  me  a  people : 

And  they  shall  not  teach  every  man  his  fellow-citizen, 

And  every  man  his  brother,  saying.  Know  the  Lord : 

For  all  shall  know  me. 

From  the  least  to  the  greatest  of  them. 

For  I  will  be  merciful  to  their  iniquities, 

And  their  sins  will  I  remember  no  more. 
13  In  that  he  saith,  A  new  covenant,  he  hath  made  the 
first  old.     But  that  which  is  becoming  old  and  wax- 
eth aged  is  nigh  unto  vanishing  away. 

V      Now  even  the  firstcovenant  had  ordinances  of  divine 

service,  and  its  sanctuary,  a  sanctuary  of  this  world. 

2  For  there  was  a  tabernacle  prepared,  the  first,  wherein

was  ''the  candlestick,  and    'the   table,  and  the  shewbread; 
which  is  called  l|the  sanctuary. 

3  'And  after  the  second  veil,  the  tabernacle  which  is  called 
the  holiest  of  all ; 

4  Which  had  the  golden  censer,  and  "the  ark  of  the 
covenant  overlaid  round  about  with  gold,  wherein  was  *the 
golden  pot  that  had  manna,  and  'Aa'ron's  rod  that  budded, 
and  *the  tables  of  the  covenant ; 

5  And  'over  it  the  cherubim  of  glory  shadowing  the  mercy 
seat ;  of  which  we  can  not  now  speak  particularly. 

6  Now  when  these  things  were  thus  ordained,  "the  priests 
went  always  into  the  first  tabernacle,  accomplishing  the 
service  of  God: 

7  But  into  the  second  went  the  high  priest  alone  "once 
every  year,  not  without  blood,  "which  he  offered  for  himself, 
and  for  the  errors  of  the  people : 

8  'The  Holy  Ghost  this  signifying,  that  'the  way  into  the 
holiest  of  all  was  not  yet  made  manifest,  while  as  the  first 
tabernacle  was  yet  standing : 

9  "Which  was  a  figure  for  the  time  then  present,  in  which 
were  offered  both  gifts  and  sacrifices,  ''that  could  not  make  him 
that  did  the  service  perfect,  as  pertaining  to  the  conscience; 

10  Which  stood  only  in  "meats  and  drinks,  and  'divers 
washings,  "and  carnal  ||  ordinances,  imposed  on  them,  until 
the  time  of  reformation. 

11  But  Christ  being  come  "a  high  priest  "of  good  things 
to  come,  'by  a  greater  and  more  perfect  tabernacle,  not  made 
with  hands,  that  is  to  say,  not  of  this  building ; 

12  Neither  "by  the  blood  of  goats  and  calves,  but  'by  his 
own  blood  he  entered  in  *once  into  the  holy  place, ''having 
obtained  eternal  redemption  for  us. 

13  For  if 'the  blood  of  bulls  and  of  goats,  andAhe  ashes 
of  a  heifer  sprinkling  the  unclean,  sanctifieth  to  the  puri- 
fying of  the  flesh; 

14  How  much  more  'shall  the  blood  of  Christ,  *who  through 
the  eternal  Spirit  *o  fibred  himself  without  ||  spot  to  God,*purge 
your  conscience  from  'dead  works  "to  serve  the  living  God? 

15  "And  for  this  cause  "he  is  the  mediator  of  the  new  testa- 
ment, "that  by  means  of  death,  for  the  redemption  of  the 
transgressions  that  were  unAex  the  first  testament,  "they  which 
are  called  might  receive  the  promise  of  eternal  inheritance. 

16  For  where  a  testament  ts,  there  must  also  of  necessity 
II  be  the  death  of    the  testator. 

17  For  'a  testament  is  of  force  after  men  are  dead  :  other- 
wise it  is  of  no  strength  at  all  while  the  testator  liveth. 

18  'Whereupon  neither  the  first  testament  was  ||  dedicated 
without  blood. 

19  For  when  Mo'ses  had  spoken  every  precept  to  all  the 
people  according  to  the  law,  'he  took  the  blood  of  calves 
and  of  goats,  "with  water,  and  ||  scarlet  wool,  and  hyssop„ 
and  sprinkled  both  the  book  and  all  the  people, 

20  Saying,  "This  is  the  blood  of  the  testament  which  God 
hath  enjoined  unto  you. 

21  Moreover  "he  sprinkled  likewise  with  blood  both  the 
tabernacle,  and  all  the  vessels  of  the  ministry. 

22  And  almost  all  things  are  by  the  law  purged  with 
blood ;  and  'without  shedding  of  blood  is  no  remission. 

23  It  was  therefore  necessary  that  "the  patterns  of  things 
in  the  heavens  should  be  purified  with  these;  but  the 
heavenly  things  themselves  with  better  sacrifices  than  the.se. 

24  For  'Christ  is  not  entered  into  the  holy  places  made 
with  hands,  which  are  the  figures  of  'the  true ;  but  into 
heaven  itself,  now  ''to  appear  in  the  presence  of  God  for  us : 

25  Nor  yet  that  he  should  offer  himself  often,  as 'the  high 
priest  entereth  into  the  holy  place  every  year  with  blood  of 
others ; 

26  For  then  must  he  often  have  suffered  since  the  founda- 
tion of  the  world :  but  now  ■'once  "in  the  end  of  the  world 
hath  he  appeared  to  put  away  sin  by  the  sacrifice  of  himself. 


^were  the  candlestick,  and  the  table,  and  Hhe  shew- 

3  bread ;  which  is  called  the  Holy  place.  And  afler  the 
second  veil,  the  tabernacle  which  is  called  the  Holy 

4  of  holies ;  having  a  golden  'censer,  and  the  ark  of  the 
covenant  overlaid  round  about  with  gold,  wherein 
*was  a  golden  pot  holding  the  manna,  and  Aa'ron's 

5  rod  that  budded,  and  the  tables  of  the  covenant;  and 
above  it  cherubim  of  glory  overshadowing  Hhe  mercy- 
seat;  of  which  things  we  cannot  now  speak  severally. 

6  Now  these  things  having  been  thus  prepared,  the 
priests  go  in  continually  into  the  first  tabernacle,  ac- 

7complishing  the  services;  but  into  the  second  the 
high  priest  alone,  once  in  the  year,  not  without  blood, 
which  he  offereth  for  himself,  and  for  the  'errors  of  the 

8  people :  the  Holy  Ghost  this  signifying,  that  the  way 
into  the  holy  place  hath  not  yet  been  made  manifest, 

9  while  as  the  first  tabernacle  is  yet  standing ;  which  is  a 
parable  for  the  time  now  present ;  according  to  which 
are  offered  both  gifts  and  sacrifices  that  cannot,  as 
touching  the  conscience,  make  the  worshipper   per- 

lOfect,  6em5'  only  (with  meats  and  drinks  and  divers 
washings)  carnal  ordinances,  imposed  until  a  time 
of  reformation. 

11  But  Christ  having  come  &  high  priest  of  Hhegood 
things  to  come,  through  the  greater  and  more  perfect 
tabernacle,  not  made  with  hands,  that  is  to  say,  not 

12  of  this  creation,  nor  yet  through  the  blood  of  goats 
and  calves,  but  through  his  own  blood,  entered  in 
once  for  all  into  the  holy  place,  having  obtained  eter- 

13  nal  redemption.  For  if  the  blood  of  goats  and  bulls, 
and  the  ashes  of  a  heifer  sprinkling  them  that  have 
been  defiled,  sanctify  unto  the  cleanness  of  the  flesh: 

14  how  much  more  shall  the  blood  of  Christ,  who 
through  the  eternal  Spirit  offered  himself  without 
blemish   unto    God,   cleanse   *your  conscience   from 

15 dead  works  to  serve  the  living  God?  And  for  this 
cause  he  is  the  mediator  of  a  new  'covenant,  that  a 
death  having  taken  place  for  the  redemption  of  the 
transgressions  that  were  under  the  first  'covenant, 
they  that  have  been  called  may  receive  the  promise 

16  of  the  eternal  inheritance.  For  where  a 'testament 
is,  there  must  of  necessity  '"be  the  death  of  him  that 

17  made  it.  For  a  'testament  is  of  force  "where  th'ere 
hath  been  death  :  '^for  doth  it  ever  avail  while  he  that 

18 made  it  liveth?    Wherefore  even  the  first  covenant 

19  hath  not  been  dedicated  without  blood.  For  when 
every  commandment  had  been  spoken  by  Mo'ses  unto 
all  the  people  according  to  the  law,  he  took  the  blood 
of  the  calves  and  the  goats,  with  water  and  scarlet 
wool  and  hyssop,  and  sprinkled  both  the  book  itself, 

20  and  all  the  people,  saying.  This  is  the  blood  of  the 
'covenant    which    God    commanded    to    you-ward. 

21  Moreover  the  tabernacle  and  all  the  vessels  of  the 
ministry  he  sprinkled  in  like  manner  with  the  blood. 

22  And  according  to  the  law,  I  may  almost  say,  all 
things  are  cleansed  with  blood,  and  apart  from  shed- 
ding of  blood  there  is  no  remission. 

23  It  was  necessary  therefore  that  the  copies  of  the 
things  in  the  heavens  should  be  cleansed  with  these  ; 
but  the  heavenly  things  themselves  with  better  sacri- 

24  fices  than  these.  For  Christ  entered  not  into  a  holy 
place  made  with  hands,  like  in  pattern  to  the  true; 
but  into  heaven  itself,  now  to  appear  before  the  face 

25  of  God  for  us :  nor  yet  that  he  should  offer  himself 
often  ;  as  the  high  priest  entereth  into  the  holy  place 

26  year  by  year  with  blood  not  his  own ;  else  must  he 
often  have  suffered  since  the  foundation  of  the  world : 
but  now  once  at  the  '^end  of  the  ages  hath  he  been 
manifested  to  put  away  sin  '*by  the  sacrifice  of  himself.

27  *And  as  it  is  appointed  unto  men  once  to  die,  "but 
after  this  the  judgment: 

28  So  *Christ  was  once  'offered  to  bear  the  sins  "of  many ; 
and  unto  them  that  "look  for  him  shall  he  appear  the  sec- 
ond time  without  sin  unto  salvation. 

CHAPTER    X. 

Chfisfs  perfect  sacrifice. 

FOR  the  law  having  "a  shadow  ''of  good  things  to  come, 
and  not  the  very  image  of  the  things,  ""can  never  with 
those  sacrifices  which  they  oifer  year  by  year  continually, 
make  the  comers  thereunto  ''perfect. 

2  For  then  || would  they  not  have  ceased  to  be  offered? 
because  that  the  worshippers  once  purged  should  have  had 
no  more  conscience  of  sins. 

3  'But  in  those  sacrifices  there  w  a  remembrance  again 
made  of  sins  every  year. 

4  For  -^it  is  not  possible  that  the  blood  of  bulls  and  of 
goats  should  take  away  sins. 

5  Whbrtjfore,  when  he  cometh  into  the  world,  he  saith, 
"Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  wouldest  not,  but  a  body  ||  hast 
thou  prepared  me : 

6  In  burnt  cffpricgs  and  sact-ifices  for  sin  thou  hast  had 
no  pleasure. 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come  (in  the  volume  of  the  book  it 
is  written  of  me)  to  do  thy  will,  O  God. 

8  Above  when  he  said.  Sacrifice  and  offering  and  burnt 
offerings  and  offering  for  sin  thou  wouldest  not,  neither 
hadst  pleasure  therein;  which  are  offered  by  the  law; 

9  Then  said  he,  Lo,  I  come  to  do  thy  will,  O  God.  He 
taketh  away  the  first,  that  he  may  establish  the  second. 

10  ''By  the  which  will  we  are  sanctified  'through  the  offer- 
ing of  the  body  of  Jesus  Christ  once /or  all. 

1 1  And  every  priest  standeth  *daily  ministering  and  offering 
oftentimes  the  same  sacrifices, 'which  can  never  takeaway  sins: 

12  "But  this  man,  after  he  had  offered  one  sacrifice  for 
sins  for  ever,  sat  down  on  the  right  hand  of  God ; 

13  From  henceforth  expecting  "till  his  enemies  be  made 
his  footstool. 

14  For  by  one  offering  "he  hath  perfected  for  ever  them 
that  are  sanctified. 

15  Whereof  the  Holy  Ghost  also  is  a  witness  to  us:  for 
after  that  he  had  said  before, 

16  "This  is  the  covenant  that  I  will  make  with  them  after 
those  days,  saith  the  Lord;  I  will  put  my  laws  into  their 
hearts,  and  in  their  minds  will  I  write  them; 

17  fAnd  their  sins  and  iniquities  will  I  remember  no 
more. 

18  Now  where  remission  of  these  is,  there  is  no  more  of- 
fering for  sin. 

19  Having  therefore,  brethren,  «||  boldness  to  enter  ""into 
the  holiest  by  the  blood  of  Jesus, 

20  By  'a  new  and  living  way,  which  he  hath  ||  consecrated 
for  us,  'through  the  veil,  that  is  to  say,  his  flesh ; 

21  And  having  "a  high  priest  over  'the  hou.se  of  God; 

22  "Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true  heart  Mn  full  assurance 
of  faith,  having  our  hearts  sprinkled  "from  an  evil  con- 
science, and  'our  bodies  washed  with  pure  water. 

23  "Let  us  hold  fast  the  profession  of  our  faith  without 
wavering ;  for  ''he  is  faithful  that  promised ; 

24  And  let  us  consider  one  another  to  provoke  unto  love 
and  to  good  works : 

25  'Not  forsaking  the  assembling  of  ourselves  together,  as 
the  manner  of  some  is;  but  exhorting  one  another:  and-'^so 
much  the  more,  as  ye  see  "the  day  approaching. 

26  For  ''if  we  sin  wilfully  'after  that  we  have  received  the 
knowledge  of  the  truth,  there  remaineth  no  more  sacrifice 
for  sins, 

27  But  a  certain  fearful  looking  for  of  judgment  and  *fiery 
indignation,  which  shall  devour  the  adversaries. 


27  And  inasmuch  as  it  is  'appointed  unto  men  once  to 

28 die,  and  after  this  come^A  judgement;  so  Christ  also, 

having  been  once  offered  to  bear  the  sins  of  many, 

shall  appear  a  second  time,  apart  from  sin,  to  them 

that  wait  for  him,  unto  salvation. 

+v  For  the  law  having  a  shadow  of  the  good  things 
to  come,  not  the  very  image  of  the  things,  ^they  can 
never  with  the  same  sacrifices  year  by  year,  which 
they  offer  continually,  make  perfect  them  that  draw 

2  nigh.  Else  would  they  not  have  ceased  to  be  offered, 
because  the  wor.shippers,  having  been  once  cleansed, 

3 would  have  had  no  more  conscience  of  sins?  But 
in  those  sacrifices  there  is  a  remembrance  made  of 

4  sins  year  by  year.  For  it  is  impossible  that  the 
blood  of  bulls  and  goats  should  take  away  sins. 

5  Wherefore  when  he  cometh  into  the  world,  he  saith, 

Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  wouldest  not, 
But  a  body  didst  thou  prepare  for  me; 

6  In  whole  burnt  offerings  and  sacrifices  for  sin  thou 

hadst  no  pleasure: 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  am  come 

(In  the  roll  of  the  book  it  is  written  of  me) 
To  do  thy  will,  O  God. 

8  Saying  above,  Sacrifices  and  offerings  and  whole 
burnt  offerings  and  sacrifices  for  sin  thou  wouldest 
not,  neither  hadst  pleasure   therein  (the  which  are 

9  offered  according  to  the  law),  then  hath  he  said,  Lo, 
I  am  come  to  do  thy  will.     He  taketh  away  the  first, 

10  that  he  may  establish  the  second.  'By  which  will 
we  have  been  sanctified  through  the  oftering  of  the 

11  body  of  Jesus  Christ  once  for  all.  And  every  Spriest 
indeed  standeth  day  by  day  ministering  and  offering 
oftentimes  the  same  sacrifices,  the  which  can  never 

12 take  away  sins:  but  he,  when  he  had   offered  one 

sacrifice  for  'sins  for  ever,  sat  down  on  the  right  hand 

13 of  God;  from  henceforth  expecting  till  his  enemies 

14  be  made  the  footstool  of  his  feet.  For  by  one  offer- 
ing he  hath  perfected  for  ever  them  that  are  sancti- 

15  fied.  And  the  Holy  Ghost  also  beareth  witness  to 
us:  for  after  he  hatii  said, 

16  This  is  the  "covenant  that  'I  will  make  with  them 
After  those  days,  saith  the  Lord; 

I  will  put  my  laws  on  their  heart. 
And  upon  their  mind  also  will  I  write  them ; 
then  saith  he, 

17  And  their  sins  and  their  iniquities  will  I  remember 

no  more. 

18  Now  where  remission  of  these  is,  there  is  no  more 
offering  for  sin. 

19  Having  therefore,  brethren,  boldness  to  enter  into 

20  the  holy  place  by  the  blood  of  Jesus,  by  the  way 
which  he  dedicated  for  us,  a  new  and  living  way, 

21  through  the  veil,  that  is  to  say,  his  flesh;  and  having 

22  a  great  priest  over  the  house  of  God ;  let  us  draw 
near  with  a  true  heart  in  ^fulness  of  faith,  having  our 
hearts  sprinkled  from  an  evil  'conscience,  and  our 

23 body  washed  with  pure  water:  let  us  hold  fast  the 
confession  of  our  hope  that  it  waver  not;  for  he  is 

24  faithful  that  promised :   and  let  us  consider  one  an- 

25  other  to  provoke  unto  love  and  good  works ;  not  for- 
saking the  assembling  of  ourselves  together,  as  the 
custom  of  some  is,  but  exhorting  one  another ;  and 
so  much  the  more,  as  ye  see  the  day  drawing  nigh. 

26  For  if  we  sin  wilfully  after  that  we  have  re- 
ceived the  knowledge  of  the  truth,  there  remain- 

27eth  no  more  a  sacrifice  for  sins,  but  a  certain 
fearful  expectation  of  judgement,  and  a  '"fierce- 
ness of  fire    which   shall  devour  the   adversaries.

28  'He  that  despised  Mo'ses'  law  died  without  mercy  "un-

29  "Of  how  much  sorer  punishment,  suppose  ye,  shall  he 
be  thought  worthy,  who  hath  trodden  under  foot  the  Son 
of  God,  and  "hath  counted  the  blood  of  the  covenant,  where- 
with he  was  sanctified,  an  unholy  thing,  ''and  hath  done 
despite  unto  the  Spirit  of  grace? 

30  For  we  know  him  that  hath  said,  "Vengeance  helongdh 
unto  me,  I  will  recompense,  saith  the  Lord.  And  again, 
■■The  Lord  shall  judge  his  people. 

31  'It  is  a  fearful  thing  to  fall  into  the  hands  of  the  living 
God. 

32  But  'call  to  remembrance  the  former  days,  in  which,  "after 
ye  were  illuminated,  ye  endured  'a  great  fight  of  afflictions; 

33  Partly,  while  ye  were  made  "a  gazingstock  both  by  re- 
proaches and  afflictions ;  and  partly,  while  'ye  became  com- 
panions of  them  that  were  so  used. 

34  For  ye  had  compassion  of  me  "in  my  bonds,  and  Hook 
joyfully  the  spoilingof  your  goods,  knowing  ||  in  yourselves 
that  "ye  have  in  heaven  a  better  and  an  enduring  substance. 

35  Cast  not  away  therefore  your  confidence,  ''which  hath 
great  recompense  of  reward. 

36  "For  ye  have  need  of  patience,  that,  after  ye  have  done 
the  will  of  God,  •'ye  might  receive  the  promise. 

37  For  "yet  a  little  while,  and  *he  that  shall  come  will 
come,  and  will  not  tarry. 

38  Now  *the  just  shall  live  by  faith :  but  if  any  man  draw 
back,  my  soul  shall  have  no  pleasure  in  him. 

39  But  we  are  not  of  them  *who  draw  back  unto  perdi- 
tion ;  but  of  them  that  'believe  to  the  saving  of  the  soul. 

CHAPTER    XI. 

Of  faith  and  its  fruits, 

"VTOW  faith  is  the  ||  substance  of  things  hoped  for,  the 
iA    evidence  "of  things  not  seen. 

2  For  ''by  it  the  elders  obtained  a  good  report. 

3  Through  faith  we  understand  that  "^ne  worlds  were 
framed  by  the  word  of  God,  so  that  things  which  are  seen 
were  not  made  of  things  which  do  appear. 

4  By  faith  ''A'bel  offered  unto  God  a  more  excellent  sacri- 
fice than  Cain,  by  which  he  obtained  witness  that  he  was 
righteous,  God  testifying  of  his  gifts:  and  by  it  he  being 
dead  '||  yet  speaketh. 

5  By  faith  ^'noch  was  translated  that  he  should  not  see 
death ;  and  was  not  found,  because  God  had  translated  him  : 
for  before  his  translation  he  had  this  testimony,  that  he 
pleased  God. 

6  But  without  faith  \i  is  impossible  to  please  him:  for  he 
that  Cometh  to  God  must  believe  that  he  is,  and  that  he  is  a 
rewarder  of  them  that  diligently  seek  him. 

7  By  faith,  "No'ah,  being  warned  of  God  of  things  not  seen 
as  yet,  |1  moved  with  fear,  ''prepared  an  ark  to  the  saving  of 
his  house;  by  the  which  he  condemned  the  world,  and  be- 
came heir  of  'the  righteousness  which  is  by  &ith. 

8  By  faith  *A'bra-ham,  when  he  was  called  to  go  out  into 
a  place  which  he  should  after  receive  for  an  inheritance, 
obayed;  and  he  went  out,  not  knowing  whither  he  went. 

9  By  faith  he  sojourned  in  the  land  of  promise,  as  i?)  a 
strange  country,  'dwelling  in  tabernacles  with  I'saac  and 
Ja'cob,  "the  heirs  with  him  of  the  same  promi.se : 

10  For  he  looked  for  a  "city  which  hath  foundations, 
"whose  builder  and  maker  is  God. 

11  Through  faith  also  ''Sa'rah  herself  received  strength  to 
conceive  seed,  and  "was  delivered  of  a  child  when  she  was 
past  age,  because  she  judged  him  'faithful  who  had  prom- 
ised. 

12  Therefore  sprang  there  even  of  one,  and  'him  as  good 
as  dead,  'ao  many  as  the  stars  of  the  sky  in  multitude,  and 
as  the  sand  which  is  by  the  .sea  shore  innumerable. 

13  These  all  died    fin   faith,    "not    having  received   the 


28  A  man  that  hath  set  at  nought  Mo'ses'  law  dieth 
without  compassion  on  the  word  of  two  or  three  wit- 

29nesses:  of  how  much  sorer  punishment,  think  ye, 
shall  he  be  judged  worthy,  who  hath  trodden  under 
foot  the  Son  of  God,  and  hath  counted  the  blood  of 
the  covenant,  wherewith  he  was  sanctified,  'an  un- 
holy thing,  and  hath  done  despite  unto  the  Spirit  of 

30 grace?  For  we  know  him  that  said.  Vengeance  be- 
longeth   unto  me,   I  will    recompense.     And  again, 

31  The  Lord  shall  judge  his  people.  It  is  a  fearful 
thing  to  fall  into  the  hands  of  the  living  God. 

32  But  call  to  remembrance  the  former  days,  in  which, 
after  ye  were  enlightened,  ye  endured  a  great  con- 

33  flict  of  sufferings  ;  partly,  being  made  a  gazingstock 
both  by  reproaches  and   afflictions;  and  partly,  be- 

34  coming  partakers  with  them  that  were  so  used.  For 
ye  both  had  compas.sion  on  them  that  were  in  bonds, 
and  took  joyfully  the  spoiling  of  your  possessions, 
knowing  Hhat  ^ye  yourselves  have  a  better  posses- 

35  sion  and  an  abiding  one.  Cast  not  away  therefore 
your    boldness,    which    hath    great    recompense  of 

36  reward.  For  ye  have  need  of  patience,  that,  having 
done  the  will  of  God,  ye  may  receive  the  promise. 

37  For  yet  a  very  little  while, 

He  that  cometh  shall  come,  and  shall  not  tarry. 

38  But  *my  righteous  one  shall  live  by  faith  : 

And  if  he  shrink  back,  my  soul  hath  no  pleasure  in 
him. 

39  But  we  are  not'of  them  that  shrink  back  unto  perdition; 
but  of  them  that  have  faith  unto  the  'saving  of  the  soul. 

■•-'-  Now  faith  is  'the  assurance   of  things   hoped  for, 
2the  'proving   of  things    not  seen.     For  therein  the 
3  elders  had  witness  borne  to  them.     By  faith  we  un- 
derstand that  the  'worlds  have  been  framed  by  the 
word  of  God,  so  that  what  is  seen   hath    not   been 
4made  out  of  things  which  do  appear.     By  faith  A'bel 
offered    unto   God  a  more   excellent    sacrifice  than 
Cain,  through  which  he  had  witness  borne  to  him 
that  he  was  righteous,  "God  bearing  witness  "in  re- 
spect of  his  gifts:  and  through  it  he  being  dead  yet 
Sspeaketh.     By  faith  E'noch   was  translated  that  he 
should  not  see  death  ;  and  he  was  not  found,  because 
God  translated   him :  for   before   his   translation  he 
hath   had    witness  borne  to  him   that  he   had  been 
Swell-pleasing  unto  God:  and  without  faith  it  is  im- 
possible to   be  well-pleasing  unto  him:  for  he  that 
cometh  to  God  must  believe  that  he  is,  and  that  he 

7  is  a  rewarder  of  them  that  seek  after  him.  By  faith 
No'ah,  being  warned  of  God  concerning  things  not 
seen  as  yet,  moved  with  godly  fear,  prepared  an  ark 
to  the  saving  of  his  house;  through  which  he  con- 
demned the  world,  and  became  heir  of  the  righteous- 

8  ness  which  is  according  to  faith.  By  faith  A'bra-ham, 
when  he  was  called,  obeyed  to  go  out  unto  a  place 
which  he  was  to  receive  for  an  inheritance;  and  he 

9  went  out,  not  knowing  whither  he  went.  By  faith 
he  became  a  .sojourner  in  the  land  of  promise,  as  In 
a  land  not  his  own,  ""dwelling  in  tents,  with  I'saac 
and  Ja'cob,  the  heirs  with  him  of  the  same  promise : 

10  for  he  looked   for  the  city   which  hath  the  founda- 

lltions,  whose  "builder  and  maker  is  God.  By  faith 
even  Sa'rah  herself  received  power  to  conceive  seed 
when  she  was  past  age,  since  she  counted  him  faith- 

12ful  who  had  promised:  wherefore  also  there  sprang 
of  one,  and  him  as  good  as  dead,  so  many  as  the 
stars  of  heaven  in  multitude,  and  as  the  sand,  which 
is  by  the  sea  shore,  innumerable. 

13     These  all  died  "in  faith,  not  having  received  the

promises,  but  ''having  seen  them  afar  off,  and  were  per- 
suaded of  them,  and  embraced  them,  and  "confessed  that 
they  were  strangers  and  pilgrims  on  the  earth. 

14  For  tliey  that  say  such  things  'declare  plainly  that 
they  seek  a  country. 

15  And  truly,  if  they  had  been  mindful  of  that  country 
from  whence  they  came  out,  they  might  have  had  oppor- 
tunity to  have  returned. 

16  But  now  they  desire  a  better  country,  that  is,  a  heaven- 
ly :  wherefore  God  is  not  ashamed  "to  be  called  their  God : 
for  'he  hath  prepared  for  them  a  city. 

17  By  faith  "A'bra-ham,  when  he  was  tried,  offered  up 
I'saac:  and  he  that  had  received  the  promises  ''offered  up 
his  only  begotten  son, 

18  II  Of  whom  it  was  said,  'That  in  I'saac  shall  thy  seed  be 
called : 

19  Accounting  that  God  ^waa  able  to  raise  Mm  up,  even 
from  the  dead ;  from  whence  also  he  received  him  in  a  figure. 

20  By  faith  "I'saac  blessed  Ja'cob  and  E'sau  concerning 
things  to  come. 

21  By  faith  Ja'cob,when  he  was  a  dying,  *blessed  both  thesons 
of  Jo'seph :  and  'worshipped,  leaning  upon  the  top  of  his  staff. 

22  By  faith  *Jo'seph,  when  he  died,  ||  made  mention  of  the 
departing  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el ;  and  gave  commandment 
concerning  his  bones. 

23  By  faith  'Mo'ses,  when  he  was  born,  was  hid  three 
months  of  his  parents,  because  they  saw  he  was  a  proper 
child ;  and  they  were  not  afraid  of  the  king's  "commandment. 

24  By  faith  "Mo'ses,  when  he  was  come  to  years,  refused 
to  be  called  the  son  of  Pha'raoh's  daughter ; 

25  "Choosing  rather  to  suffer  affliction  with  the  people  of 
God,  than  to  enjoy  the  pleasures  of  siu  for  a  season ; 

26  Esteeming ''the  reproach  ||  of  Christ  greater  riches  than 
the  treasures  in  E'gypt:  for  he  had  respect  unto  'the  recom- 
pense of  the  reward. 

27  By  faith  'he  forsook  E'gypt,  not  fearing  the  wrath  of  the 
king:  for  he  endured,  as  'seeing  him  who  is  invisible. 

28  Through  faith  'he  kept  the  passover,  and  the  sprinkling 
of  blood,  lest  he  that  destroyed  the  firstborn  should  touch 
them. 

29  By  faith  "they  passed  through  the  Red  sea  as  by  dry 
land:  which  the  E-gyp'tians  assaying  to  do  were  drowned. 

30  By  faith  'the  walls  of  Jer'i-cho  fell  down,  after  they  were 
compassed  about  seven  days. 

31  By  faith  "the  harlot  Ra'hab  perished  not  with  them  ||that 
believed  not,  when  'she  had  received  the  spies  with  peace. 

32  And  what  shall  I  more  say?  for  the  time  would  fail  me 
to  tell  of  "Gid'e-on,  and  of  'Ba'rak,  and  of  "Sam'son,  and  of 
''Jeph'thah ;  o/'Da'vid  also,  and-''Sam'u-el,  and  of  the  prophets : 

33  Who  through  faith  subdued  kingdoms,  wrought  right- 
eousness, "obtained  promises,  *6topped  the  mouths  of  lions, 

34  'Quenched  the  violence  of  fire,  ^escaped  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  'out  of  weakness  we're  made  strong,  waxed 
valiant  in  fight,  ""turned  to  flight  the  armies  of  the  aliens. 

35  "Women  received  their  dead  raised  to  life  again :  and 
others  were  "tortured,  not  accepting  deliverance;  that  they 
might  obtain  a  better  resurrection: 

36  And  others  had  trial  of  cruel  mockings  and  scourgings, 
yea,  moreover  "of  bonds  and  imprisonment : 

37  ""They  were  stoned,  they  were  sawn  asunder,  were 
tempted,  were  slain  with  the  sword:  'they  wandered  about 
'in  sheepskins  and  goatskins;  being  destitute,  afflicted, 
tormented ; 

38  Of  whom  the  world  was  not  worthy:  they  wandered  in 
deserts,  and  in  mountains,  and  "in  dens  and  caves  of  the  earth. 

39  And  the.se  all,  'having  obtained  a  good  report  through 
faith,  received  not  the  promise : 

40  God  having  ||  provided  "some  better  thing  for  us,  that 
they  without  us  should  not  be  'made  perfect.  1 


promises,  but  having  seen  themandgreeted  them  from 
afar,  and  having  confessed  that  they  were  strangers 

14  and  pilgrims  on  the  earth.  For  they  that  say  such 
things  make  it  manifest  that  they  are  seeking  after  a 

15  country  of  their  own.  And  if  indeed  they  had  been 
mindful  of  that  country  from  which  they  went  out, 

16  they  would  have  had  opportunity  to  return.  But 
now  they  desire  a  better  country,  that  is,  a  heavenly : 
wherefore  God  is  not  ashamed  of  them,  to  be  called 
their  God :  for  he  hath  prepared  for  them  a  city. 

17  By  faith  A'braham,  being  tried,  'offered  up  I'saac 
yea,  he  that  had   gladly  received  the  promises  was 

18  offering  up  his  only  begotten  807i;  even  he  Ho  whom 

19  it  was  said.  In  I'saac  shall  thy  seed  be  called:  ac- 
counting that  God  is  able  to  raise  up,  even  from  the 
dead ;   from  whence  he  did  also  in  a  parable  receive 

20  him  back.     By  faith  I'saac  blessed  Ja'cob  and  E'sau, 

21  even  concerning  things  to  come.  By  faith  Ja'cob, 
when  he  was  a  dying,  blessed  each  of  the  sons  of 
Jo'seph;  and  worshipped,  leaning  upon  the  top  of 

22  his  staff.  By  faith  Jo'seph,  when  his  end  was  nigh, 
made  mention  of  the  departure  of  the  children  of 
Is'ra-el ;   and   gave   commandment    concerning    his 

23  bones.  By  faith  Mo'ses,  when  he  was  born,  was  hid 
three  months  by  his  parents,  because  they  saw  he 
was  a  goodly  child ;  and  they  were  not  afraid  of  the 

24  king's  commandment.  By  faith  Mo'ses,  when  he 
was  grown  up,  refused  to  be  called  the  son  of  Pha'- 

2oraoh's  daughter;  choosing  rather  to  be  evil  en- 
treated with  the  people  of  God,  than  to  enjoy  the 

26 pleasures  of  sin  for  a  season;  accounting  the  re- 
proach of  'Christ  greater  riches  than  the  treasures 
of  E'gypt:   for  he  looked  unto  the  recompense  of 

27  reward.  By  fiiith  he  forsook  E'gypt,  not  fearing  the 
wrath  of  the  king:   for  he  endured,  as  seeing  him 

28  who  is  invisible.  By  faith  he  ^kept  the  passover, 
and  the  sprinkling  of  the  blood,   that  the  destroyer 

29  of  the  fii-stborn  should  not  touch  them.  By  faith 
they  passed  through  the  Red  sea  as  by  dry  land: 
which  the  E-gyp'tians  assaying  to  do  were  swallowed 

30  up.     By  faith  the  walls  of  Jer'i-cho  fell  down,  after 

31  they  had  been  compassed  about  for  seven  days.  By 
faith  Ra'hab  the  harlot  perished  not  with  them  that 
were   disobedient,    having   received   the   spies  with 

32 peace.  And  Avhat  shall  I  more  say?  for  the  time  will 
fail  me  if  I  tell  of  Gid'e-on,  Ba'rak,  Sam'son,  Jeph'- 

33  thah ;  of  Da'vid  and  Sam'u-el  and  the  prophets :  who 
through  faith  subdued  kingdoms,  wrought  righteous- 
ness,   obtained    promises,   stopped    the    mouths    of 

34  lions,  quenched  the  power  of  fire,  escaped  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  from  weakness  were  made  strong, 
waxed  mighty  in  war,  turned  to    flight  armies   of 

35  aliens.  Women  received  their  dead  by  a  resurrec- 
tion :  and  others  were  Hortured,  not  accepting  Hheir 
deliverance;  that  they  might  obtain  a  better  resur- 

36  rection :  and  others  had  trial  of  mockings  and 
scourgings,   yea,  moreover  of  bonds  and  imprison- 

37ment:  they  were  stoned,  they  were  sawn  asunder, 
they  were  tempted,  they  were  slain  with  the  sword : 
they  went  about  in  sheepskins,  in  goatskins;  being 

38  destitute,  afflicted,  evil  entreated  (of  whom  the 
world  was  not  worthy),  wandering  in  deserts  and 
mountains  and  caves,  and   the   holfes  of  the   earth. 

39  And  these  all,  having  had  witness  borne   to    them 

40  through  their  faith,  received  not  the  promise,  God 
having  'provided  some  better  thing  concerning  us, 
that  apart  from  us  they  should  not  be  made  perfect.

CHAPTER    XII. 

Exhortatiojt  to  patience  and  constancy, 

WHEREFORE,  seeing  we  also  are  compassed  about  with 
so  great  a  cloud  of  \vituesses,  "let  us  lay  aside  every 
weight,  and  the  siu  which  doth  so  easily  beset  iw,  and  ''let 
us  run  "^with  patience  the  race  that  is  set  before  us, 

2  Looking  unto  Jesus  the  ||  author  and  finisher  of  our 
faith;  ''who,  for  the  joy  that  was  set  before  him,  endured 
the  cross,  despising  the  shame,  and  'is  set  down  at  the  right 
hand  of  the  throne  of  God. 

3  -'^For  consider  him  that  endured  such  contradiction  of  sin- 
ners against  himselfj'lest  ye  be  wearied  and  faint  in  your  minds. 

4  ''Ye  have  not  yet  resisted  unto  blood,  striving  against  sin. 

5  And  ye  have  forgotten  the  exhortation  which  speaketh 
unto  you  as  unto  children,  'My  son,  despise  not  thou  the  chas- 
tening of  the  Lord,,  nor  faint  when  thou  art  rebuked  of  him : 

6  For  *\vhom  the  Lord  loveth  he  chasteneth,  and  scourgeth 
every  son  whom  he  receiveth. 

7  'If  ye  endure  chastening,  God  dealeth  with  you  as  with 
sons;  for  what  sou  is  he  whom  the  father  chasteneth  not? 

8  But  if  ye  be  without  chastisement,  '"whereof  all  are  par- 
takers, then  are  ye  bastards,  and  not  sons. 

9  Furthermore,  we  have  had  fathers  of  our  flesh  which  cor- 
rected us,  and  we  gave  them  reverence :  shall  we  not  much 
rather  be  in  subjection  unto  "the  Father  of  spirits,  and  live? 

10  For  they  verily  for  a  few  days  chastened  us  ||  after  their 
own  pleasure ;  but  he  for  our  profit,  "that  we  might  be  par- 
takers of  his  holiness. 

11  Now  no  chastening  for  the  present  seemeth  to  be  joyous, 
but  grievous:  nevertheless,  afterward  it  yieldeth^the  peaceable 
fruit  of  righteousness  unto  them  which  are  exercised  thereby. 

12  Wherefore  'lift  up  the  hands  which  hang  down,  and 
the  feeble  knees ; 

13  'And  make  ||  straight  paths  for  your  feet,  lest  that  which 
is  lame  be  turned  out  of  the  way ;  'but  let  it  rather  be  healed. 

14  'Follow  peace  with  all  men,  and  holiness,  "without 
which  no  man  shall  see  the  Lord : 

15  "'Looking  diligently  "lest  any  man  ||  fail  of  the  grace 
of  God ;  'lest  any  root  of  bitterness  springing  up  trouble 
you,  and  thereby  many  be  defiled ; 

16  "Lest  there  be  auy  fornicator,  or  profane  person,  as 
E'sau,  'who  for  one  morsel  of  meat  sold  his  birthright. 

17  For  ye  know  how  that  afterward,  "when  he  would  have 
inherited  the  blessing,  he  was  rejected:  ''for  he  found  no 
II  place  of  repentance,  though  he  sought  it  carefully  with  tears. 

18  For  ye  are  not  come  unto  the  'mount  that  might  be 
touched,  and  that  burned  with  fire,  nor  unto  blackness,  and 
darkness,  and  tempest, 

19  And  the  sound  of  a  trumpet,  and  the  voice  of  words; 
which  voice  they  that  heard  -''entreated  that  the  word  should 
not  be  spoken  to  them  any  more : 

20  (For  they  could  not  endure  that  which  was  commanded, 
"And  if  so  much  as  a  beast  touch  the  mountain,  it  shall  be 
stoned,  or  thrust  through  with  a  dart: 

21  ""And  so  terrible  was  the  sight,  that  Mo'ses  said,  I  ex- 
ceedingly fear  and  quake :) 

22  But  ye  are  come  'unto  mount  Si'on,  *and  unto  the  city 
of  the  living  God,  the  heavenly  Je-ru'sa-lem,  'and  to  an  innu- 
merable company  of  angels, 

23  To  the  general  assembly  and  church  of  ""the  firstborn, 
"which  are  ||  written  in  heaven,  and  to  God  "the  Judge  of  all, 
and  to  the  spirits  of  just  men  "made  perfect, 

24  And  to  Jesus 'the  Mediator  of  the  new  jj  covenant,  and 
to  ""the  blood  of  sprinkling,  that  speaketh  better  things  'than 
thai  of  A'bel. 

25  See  that  ye  refuse  not  him  that  speaketh :  for  'if  they 
escaped  not  who  refused  him  that  spake  on  earth,  much 
more  shall  not  we  escape,  if  we  turn  away  from  him  that 
speaketh  from  heaven  : 


J-^^  Therefore  let  us  also,seeing  we  are  compassed  about 
with  so  great  a  cloud  of  witnesses,  lay  aside  'every 
weight,  and  the  sin  wliich  ^doth  so  easily  beset  us, 
and  let  us  run  with  patience  the  race  that  is  set  before 

2  us,  looking  unto  Jesus  the  'author  and  perfecter  of 
our  faith,  who  for  the  joy  that  was  set  before  him  en- 
dured the  cross,  despising  shame,  and  hath  sat  down 

3  at  the  right  hand  of  the  throne  of  God.  For  consider 
him  that  hath  endured  such  gainsaying  of  sinners 
against  ^themselves,  that  ye  wax  not  weary,  fainting 

4 in  your  souls.     Ye  have  not  yet  resisted  unto  blood, 
5 striving  against  sin:  and  ye  have  forgotten  the  ex- 
hortation, which  reasoneth  with  you  as  with  sons, 
My  son,  regard  not  lightly  the  chastening  of  the  Lord, 
Nor  faint  when  thou  art  reproved  of  him ; 
6    For  whom  the  Lord  loveth  he  chasteneth. 

And  scourgeth  every  son  whom  he  receiveth. 
7 ''It  is  for  chastening  that  ye  endure;   God  dealeth 
with  you  as  with  sons ;  for  what  son  is  there  whom 

8  his  father  chasteneth  not  ?  But  if  ye  are  without 
chastening,  whereof  all  have  been  made  partakers, 

9  then  are  ye  bastards,  and  not  sons.  Furthermore, 
we  had  the  fathers  of  our  flesh  to  chasten  us,  and 
we  gave  them  reverence :  shall  we  not  much  rather 
be   in   subjection  unto  the   Father  of  ^spirits,  and 

10 live?  For  they  verily  for  a  few  days  chastened  us 
as  seemed  good  to  them ;  but  he  for  our  profit,  that 

11  we  may  be  partakers  of  his  holiness.  All  chasten- 
ing seemeth  for  the  present  to  be  not  joyous,  but 
grievous:  yet  afterward  it  yieldeth  peaceable  fruit 
unto  them  that  have  been  exercised  thereby, ^i)en  the 

\2fruit  of  righteousness.     Wherefore  Uift  up  the  hands 

13  that  hang  down,  and  the  palsied  knees;  and  make 
straight  paths  for  your  feet,  that  that  which  is  lame 
be  not  'turned  out  of  the  way,  but  rather  be  healed. 

14  Follow  after  peace  with  all  men,  and  the  sanctifica- 
tion  without  which   no   man   shall   see  the   Lord 

15  looking  carefully  'lest  there  be  any  man  that  '"falleth 
short  of  the  grace  of  God ;  lest  any  root  of  bitter 
ness    springing   up    trouble   you,  and   thereby   the 

16 many  be  defiled;  'lest  there  be  any  fornicator,  or 
profane  person,  as  E'sau,  who  for  one  mess  of  meat 

17  sold  his  own  birthright.  For  ye  know  that  even 
when  he  afterward  desired  to  inherit  the  blessing, 
he  was  rejected  (for  he  found  no  place  of  repent- 
ance), though  he  sought  it  diligently  with  tears. 

18  For  ye  are  not  come  unto  "a  mount  that  might 
be   touched,  and  that    burned    with  fire,  and  inito 

19 blackness,  and  darkness,  and  tempest,  and  the  sound 
of  a  trumpet,  and  the  voice  of  words ;  which  voice 
they  that  heard  intreated  that  no  word  more  should 

20  be  spoken  unto  them :  for  they  could  not  endure 
that  which  was  enjoined.  If  even  a  beast  touch  the 

21  mountain,  it  shall  be  stoned;  and  so  fearful  was  the 
appearance,  that  Mo'ses  said,  I  exceedingly  fear  and 

22 quake:  but  ye  are  come  unto  mount  Zi'on,  and  unto 
the  city  of  the  living  God,  the  heavenly  Je-ru'sa-lem, 

23  "and  to  "innumerable  hosts  of  angels,  to  the  gen- 
eral assembly  and  church  of  the  firstborn  who  are 
enrolled  in  heaven,  and  to  God  the  Judge  of  all,  and 

24  to  the  spirits  of  just  men  made  perfect,  and  to  Jesus 
the  mediator  of  a  new  "covenant,  and  to  the  blood 
of  sprinkling  that  speaketh  better  "than  that  of  A'bel. 

25  See  that  ye  refuse  not  him  that  speaketh.  For  if 
they  escaped  not,  when  they  refused  him  that  warned 
them  on  earth,  much  more  shall  not  we  escape,  who 
turn  away  from  him  "that   wameih   &om  heaven:

Exhortations  to  charity^  &c. 

LET  "brotherl}   ^ove  continue. 
2  'Be  not  forgetful  to  entertain  strangers:  for  thereby 
'some  have  entertained  angels  unawares. 

3  ''Remember  them  that  are  in  bonds,  as  bound  with  them ;  and 
them  which  suffer  adversity,  as  being  yourselves  also  in  the  body. 

4  Marriage  is  honourable  in  all,  and  the  bed  undefiled : 
'but  whoremongers  and  adulterers  God  will  judge. 

5  Let  your  conversation  be  without  covetousness;  and -^e 
content  with  such  things  as  ye  have :  for  he  hath  said,  "I 
will  never  leave  thee,  nor  forsake  thee. 

6  So  that  we  may  boldly  say,  ''The  Lord  is  my  helper,  and 
I  will  not  fear  what  man  shall  do  unto  me. 

7  'Remember  them  which  ||  have  the  rule  over  you,  who 
have  spoken  unto  you  the  word  of  God :  *whose  faith  follow, 
considering  the  end  of  their  conversation  : 

8  Jesus  Christ  'the  same  yesterday,  and  to-day,  and  for  ever. 

9  ""Be  not  carried  about  with  divers  and  strange  doctrines : 
for  it  is  a  good  thing  that  the  heart  be  established  with 
grace ;  "not  with  meats,  which  have  not  profited  them  that 
have  been  occupied  therein. 

10  "We  have  an  altar,  whereof  they  have  no  right  to  eat 
which  serve  the  tabernacle. 

11  For  "the  bodies  of  those  beasts,  whose  blood  is  brought 
into  the  sanctuary  by  the  high  priest  for  sin,  are  burned 
without  the  camp. 

12  Wherefore  Jesus  also,  that  he  might  sanctify  the  people 
with  his  own  blood,  "suffered  without  the  gate. 

13  Let  us  go  forth  therefore  unto  him  without  the  camp, 
bearing  ''his  reproach. 

14  'For  here  have  we  no  continuing  city,  but  we  seek  one 
to  come. 

15 'By  him  therefore  let  us  offer"  the  sacrifice  of  praise  to  God  con- 
tinually, that  is,"=the  fruit  of  owr  lips,  fgi ving  thanks  to  his  name. 

16  "But  to  do  good  and  to  communicate  forget  not:  for 
'with  such  sacrifices  God  is  well  pleased. 

17  "Obey  them  that  ||have  tiie  rule  over  you,  and  submit 
yourselves:  for  'they  watch  for  your  souls  as  they  that 
must  give  account,  that  they  may  do  it  with  joy,  and  not 
with  grief:  for  that  is  unprofitable  for  you. 

18  "Pray  for  us:  for  we  trust  we  have  ''a  good  conscience, 
in  all  things  willing  to  live  honestly. 

19  But  I  beseech  you  'the  rather  to  do  this,  that  I  may 
be  restored  to  you  the  sooner. 

20  ^ow  ■''the  God  of  peace,  "that  brought  again  from  the 
dead  our  Lord  Jesus,  ''that  great  Shepherd  of  the  sheep, 
'through  the  blood  of  the  everlasting  ||  covenant, 

21  *Make you  perfect  in  every  good  work  to  do  his  will,  I  I'work- 
ing  in  you  that  which  is  well  pleasing  in  his  sight  through 
Jesus  Christ;  '"to  whom  be  glory  for  ever  and  ever.    Amen. 

22  And  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  suffer  the  word  of  ex- 
hortation :  for  "I  have  written  a  letter  unto  you  in  few  words. 

23  Know  ye  that  "our  brother  Tim'o-thy  "is  set  at  liberty; 
with  whom,  if  he  come  shortly,  I  will  see  you. 

24  Salute  all  them  'that  have  the  rule  over  you,  and  all 
the  saints.     They  of  It'a-ly  salute  you. 

25  'Grace  be  with  you  all.     Amen. 

f  Written  to  the  Hebrews  from  Italy,  by  Timothy. 


26  whose  voice  then  shook  the  earth  :  but  now  he  hath 
promised,  saying,  Yet  once  more  will  I  make  to 
tremble  not  the  earth  only,  but  also  the  heaven. 

27  And  this  word,  Yet  once  more,  signifieth  the  re- 
moving of  those  things  that  are  shaken,  as  of  things 
that  have  been  made,  that  those  things  which  are  not 

28  shaken  may  remain.  Wherefore,  receiving  a  king- 
dom that  cannot  be  shaken,  let  us  have  'grace,  whereby 
we  may  offer  service  well-pleasing  to  God  with  ^rev- 

29  erence  and  awe :  for  our  God  is  a  consuming  fire. 

+^  2  Let  love  of  the  brethren  continue.  Forget  not 
to  shew  love  unto  strangers :  for  thereby  some  have 

3  entertained  angels  unawares.  Remember  them  that 
are  in  bonds,  as  bound  Avith  them;  them  that  are 
evil  entreated,  as  being  yourselves  also  in  the  body. 

4  Let  marriage  be  had  in  honour  among  all,  and  let 
the  bed  be  undefiled :  for  fornicators  and  adulterers 

5  God  will  judge.  ^Be  ye  free  from  the  love  of  money ; 
content  with  such  things  as  ye  have:  for  himself 
hath  said,  I  will  in  no  wise  fail  thee,  neither  will  I 

6  in  any  wise  forsake  thee.  So  that  with  good  cour- 
age we  say. 

The  Lord  is  my  helper;  I  M'ill  not  fear: 
What  shall  man  do  unto  me? 

7  Remember  them  that  had  the  rule  over  you,  which 
spake  unto  you  the  word  of  God ;  and  considering 

8  the  issue  of  their  *life,  imitate  their  faith.  Jesus 
Christ  is  the   same  yesterday  and  to-day,  yea  and 

9  'for  ever.  Be  not  carried  away  by  divers  and  strange 
teachings :  for  it  is  good  that  the  heart  be  stablished 
by  grace ;  not  by  meats,  wherein  they  that  "occupied 

lOthemsclves  were  not  profited.  We  have  an  altar, 
whereof  they  have  no  right  to  eat  which  serve  the 

11  tabernacle.  For  the  bodies  of  those  beasts,  whose 
blood  is  brought  into  the  holy  place  "by  the  high 
priest  as  an  offering  for  sin,  are  burned  without  the 

12  camp.  Wherefore  Jesus  also,  that  he  might  sanctify 
the  people  through  his  own  blood,  suffered  without 

13  the  gate.     Let  us  therefore  go  forth  unto  him  with- 

14  out  the  camp,  bearing  his  reproach.  For  we  have 
not  here  an  abidipg  city,  but  we  seek  after  the  city 

15  which  is  to  come.  Through  him  Hhen  let  us  offer 
up  a  sacrifice  of  praise  to  God  continually,  that  is, 
the  fruit  of  lips  which  make  confession  to  his  name. 

16  But  to  do  good  and  to  communicate  forget  not:  for 

17  with  such  sacrifices  God  is  well  pleased.  Obey  them 
that  have  the  rule  over  you,  and  submit  to  them:  for 
they  watch  in  behalf  of  your  souls,  as  they  that  shall 
give  account ;  that  they  may  do  this  with  joy,  and 
not  with  'grief:  for  this  icere  unprofitable  for  you. 

18  Pray  for  us:  for  we  are  persuaded  that  we  have  a 
good   conscience,  desiring   to    live    honestly   in    all 

19  things.  And  I  exhort  you  the  more  exceedingly 
to  do  this,  that  I  may  be  restored  to  you  the  sooner. 

20  Now  the  God  of  peace,  who  brought  again  from 
the  dead  tlie  great  shejiherd  of  the  sheep  '"with  the 
blood  of  the  eternal  covenant,  even  our  Lord  Jesus, 

21  make  you  perfect  in  every  good  "thing  to  do  his 
will,  working  in  '^us  that  which  is  well-pleasing  in 
his  sight,  through  Jesus  Christ;  to  whom  be  the 
gloi-y  '"for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

22  But  I  exhort  you,  brethren,  bear  with  the  word  of 
exhortation  :  for  I  have  written  unto  you  in  few  words. 

23  Know  ye  that  our  brother  Tim'o-thy  hath  been  set  at 
liberty;  with  whom,  if  he  come  shortly,  I  will  see  you. 

24  Salute  all  them  that  have  the  rule  over  you,  and

JAMES. 


CHAPTER  I. 

IVisdom  to  be  sought  of  God. 

"  TAMES,  'a  servant  of  God  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  "to 
*J   the  twelve  tribes  ''which  are  scattered  abroad,  greeting. 

2  My  brethren,  'count  it  all  joy  •''when  ye  fall  into  divers 
temptations; 

3  'Knowing  this,  that  the  try  ing  of  your  faith  worketh  patience. 

4  But  let  patience  have  litr  perfect  work,  that  ye  may  be 
perfect  and  entire,  wanting  nothing. 

5  ''If  any  of  you  lack  wisdom,  'let  him  ask  of  God,  that 
giveth  to  all  men  liberally,  and  upbraideth  not ;  and  *it  shall 
be  given  him. 

6  'But  let  him  ask  in  faith,  nothing  wavering :  for  he 
that  wavereth  is  like  a  wave  of  the  sea  driven  with  the 
wind  and  tossed. 

7  For  let  not  that  man  think  that  he  shall  receive  anything 
of  the  Lord. 

8  "A  doubleminded  man  is  unstable  in  all  his  ways. 

9  Letthe  brother  of  low  degree  ||  rejoice  in  that  he  is  exalted: 

10  But  the  rich,  in  that  he  is  made  low:  because  "as  the 
flower  of  the  grass  he  shall  pass  away. 

11  For  the  sun  is  no  sooner  risen  with  a  burning  heat,  but 
it  withereth  the  grass,  and  the  flower  thereof  falleth,  and  the 
grace  of  the  fashion  of  it  perisheth :  so  also  shall  the  rich 
man  fade  away  in  his  ways. 

12  "Blessed  is  the  man  that  endureth  temptation:  for  when 
he  is  tried,  he  shall  receive  ""the  crown  of  life,  'which  the 
Lord  hath  promised  to  them  that  love  him. 

13  Let  no  man  say  when  he  is  tempted,  I  am  tempted  of 
God :  for  God  cannot  be  tempted  with  ||  evil,  neither  tempt- 
eth  he  any  man : 

14  But  every  man  is  tempted,  when  he  is  drawn  away  of 
his  own  lust,  and  enticed. 

15  Then,  'when  lust  hath  conceived,  it  bringeth  forth  sin; 
and  sin,  when  it  is  finished,  'bringeth  forth  death. 

16  Do  not  err,  my  beloved  brethren. 

17  'Every  good  gift  and  every  perfect  gift  is  from  above, 
and  Cometh  down  from  the  Father  of  lights,  "with  whom  is 
no  variableness,  neither  shadow  of  turning. 

18  '^Of  his  own  will  begat  he  us  with  the  word  of  truth, 
"that  we  should  be  a  kind  of  'firstfruits  of  his  creatures. 

19  Wherefore,  my  beloved  brethren,  "let  every  man  be 
swift  to  hear,  ''slow  to  speak,  ''slow  to  wrath  : 

20  Forthe  wrath  ofnian  worketh  not  tlierighteousnessof  God. 

21  Wherefore  ''lay  apart  all  filthiness,  and  superfluity  of 
naughtiness,  and  receive  with  meekness  the  ingrafted  word, 
'which  is  able  to  save  your  souls. 

22  But  ^be  ye  doers  of  the  word,  and  not  hearers  only,  de- 
ceiving your  own  selves. 

23  For  "if  any  be  a  hearer  of  the  word,  and  not  a  doer,  he 
is  like  unto  a  man  beliolding  his  natural  face  in  the  glass : 

24  For  he  beholdeth  himself,  and  goeth  his  way,  and 
straightway  forgetteth  what  manner  of  man  he  was. 

25  But  ''whoso  looketh  into  the  perfect  'law  of  liberty,  and 
continueth  therein,  he  being  not  a  forgetful  hearer,  but  a 
doer  of  the  work,  *this  man  shall  be  blessed  in  his  ||  deed. 

26  If  any  man  among  you  seem  to  be  religious,  and  'bri- 
dleth  not  his  tongue,  butdeceiveth  his  own  heart,  this  man's 
religion  is  vain. 

27  Pure  religion  and  iindefiled  before  God  and  the  Father 
is  this,  "'To  visit  the  fatherless  and  widows  in  their  afiliction, 
{'and  to  keep  himself  unspotted  from  the  world. 


THE  GENERAL  EPISTLE  OF 


JAMES. 


1 


James,   a  'servant  of  God  and  of  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  to  the  twelve  tribes  which  are  of  the  Disper- 
sion, ^greeting. 
2     Count  it  all  joy,  my  brethren,  when  y&  fall  into 
3 manifold  temptations;  knowing  that  the   proof  of 

4  your  faith  worketh  patience.  And  let  patience  have 
its  perfect  work,  that  ye  may  be  perfect  and  entire, 
lacking  in  nothing. 

5  But  if  any  of  you  lacketh  wisdom,  let  him  ask  of 
God, who  giveth  to  all  liberally  and  upbraideth  not; 

6  and  it  shall  be  given  him.  But  let  him  ask  in  faith, 
nothing  doubting:  for  he  that  doubteth  is  like  the 

7  surge  of  the  sea  driven  by  the  wind  and  tossed.  For 
let  not  that  man  think  ^that  he  shall  receive  anything 

8  of  the  Lord ;  a  doubleminded  man,  unstable  in  all 
his  ways. 

9  But  let  the  brother  of  low   degree  glory  in  his 
10 high  estate;  and  the  rich,  in  that  he  is  made  low: 

because  as    the   flower  of  the  grass   he   shall  pass 

11  away.  For  the  sun  ariseth  with  the  scorching  wind, 
and  withereth  the  grass ;  and  the  flower  thereof  fall- 
eth, and  the  grace  of  the  fashion  of  it  perisheth :  so 
also  shall  the  rich  man  fade  away  in  his  goings. 

12  Bles.sed  is  the  man  that  endureth  temptation:  for 
when  he  hath  been  approved,  he  shall  receive  the 
crown  of  life,  which  the  Lord  promised  to  them  that 

13  love  him.  Let  no  man  say  when  he  is  tempted,  I 
am  tempted  "of  God:  for  God  "cannot  be  tempted 

14 with  'evil,  and  he  himself  tempteth  no  man:  but 
each  man  is  ^tempted,  when  he  is  drawn  away  by 

15  his  own  lust,  and  enticed.  Then  the  lust,  when  it 
hath  conceived,  beareth  sin :  and  the  sin,  when  it  is 

IGfullgrown,  bringeth  forth  death.     Be  not  deceived, 

17  my  beloved  brethren.  Every  good 'gift  and  every 
perfect  boon  is  from  above,  coming  down  from  the 
Father   of  lights,  with  whom   can  be  no   variation, 

18  neither  shadow  that  is  cast  by  turning.  Of  his  own 
will  he  brought  us  forth  by  the  word  of  truth,  that 
we  should  be  a  kind  of  firstfruits  of  his  creatures. 

19  ^"Ye  know  this,  my  beloved  brethren.  But  let 
every  man  be  swift  to  hear,  slow  to  speak,  slow  to 

20  wrath:  for  the  wrath  of  man  worketh  not  the  right- 

21  eousness  of  God.  Wherefore  putting  away  all  filth- 
iness and  overflowing  of  "wickednes.s,  receive  with 
meekness    the    '^implanted  word,  which  is  able   to 

22  save  your  souls.     But  be  ye  doers  of  the  word,  and 

23  not  hearers  only,  deluding  your  own  selves.  For 
if  any  one  is  a  hearer  of  the  word,  and  not  a  doer, 
he  is  like  unto  a  man   beholding    '''his    natural    face 

24  in  a  mirror:  for  he  beholdcth  himself,  and  goeth 
away,  and   straightway    forgetteth    what    manner  of 

25  man  he  was.  But  he  that  looketh  into  the  perfect 
law,  the  law  of  liberty,  aud  so  continueth,  being  not 
a  hearer   that  forgetteth,  but  a  doer  that   worketh, 

26  this  man  shall  be  blessed  in  his  doing.  If  any  man 
'Hhinketh  himself  to  be  religious,  while  he  bridleth 
not  his  tongue  but  dcceiveth  his  heart,  this  man's 

27  religion  is  vain.  Pure  religion  and  undefiled  before 
our  God  and  Father  is  this,  to  visit  the  fatherless 
and  widows  in  their  affliction,  and  to  keep  himself 
unspotted  from  the  world.

CHAPTER    II. 

0/  Jaitfi  ana  works. 

MY  brethren,  have  not  the  faith  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
"the  Lord  of  glory,  with  'respect  of  persons. 

2  For  if  there  come  unto  your  fassembly  a  man  with  a 
goM  ring,  in  goodly  apparel,  and  there  come  in  also  a  poor 
man  in  vile  raiment; 

3  And  ye  have  respect  to  him  that  weareth  the  gay  cloth- 
ing, and  say  unto  him,  Sit  thou  here  ||in  a  good  place;  and 
say  to  the  poor.  Stand  thou  there,  or  sit  here  under  my  foot- 
stool : 

4  Are  ye  not  then  partial  in  yourselves,  and  are  become 
judges  of  evil  thoughts? 

5  Hearken,  my  beloved  brethren,  'Hath  not  God  chosen 
the  poor  of  this  world  ''rich  in  faith,  and  heirs  of  ||the  king- 
dom 'which  he  hath  promised  to  them  that  love  him? 

6  But  ■'ye  have  despised  the  poor.  Do  not  rich  men  op- 
press you,  "and  draw  you  before  the  judgment  seats? 

7  Do  not  they  blaspheme  that  worthy  name  by  the  which 
ye  are  called  ? 

8  If  ye  fulfil  the  royal  law  according  to  the  Scripture,  *Thou 
shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself,  ye  do  well : 

9  But  'if  ye  have  respect  to  persons,  ye  commit  sin,  and 
are  convinced  of  the  law  as  transgressors. 

10  For  whosoever  shall  keep  the  whole  law,  and  yet  offend 
in  one  point,  *he  is  guilty  of  all. 

11  For  II  he  that  said,  'Do  not  commit  adultery,  said  also. 
Do  not  kill.  Now  if  thou  commit  no  adultery,  yet  if  thou 
kill,  thou  art  become  a  transgressor  of  the  law. 

12  So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as  they  that  shall  be  judged  by 
"the  law  of  liberty. 

13  For  "he  shall  have  judgment  without  mercy  that  hath 
shewed  no  mercy;  and  "mercy   ||  rejoiceth  against  judgment. 

14  ''What  doth  it  profit,  my  brethren,  though  a  man  say  he 
hath  faith,  and  have  not  works?  can  faith  save  him? 

15  »If  a  brother  or  sister  be  naked,  and  destitute  of  daily 
food, 

16  And  ""one  of  you  say  unto  them,  Depart  iu  peace,  be 
ye  warmed  and  filled;  notwithstanding  ye  give  them  not 
those  things  which  are  needful  to  the  body ;  what  doth  it 
profit? 

17  Even  so  faith,  if  it  hath  not  works,  is  dead,  being 
falone. 

18  Yea,  a  man  may  say,  Thou  hast  faith,  and  I  have  works : 
shew  me  thy  faith  ||  without  thy  works,  'and  I  will  shew 
thee  my  faith  by  my  works. 

1 9  Thou  believest  that  there  is  one  God ;  thou  doest  well : 
'the  devils  also  believe,  and  tremble. 

20  But  wilt  thou  know,  O  vain  man,  that  faith  without 
works  is  dead  ? 

21  Was  not  A'bra-ham  our  father  justified  by  works,  "when 
he  liad  offered  I'saac  his  son  upon  the  altar? 

22  II  Seest  thou  ''how  faith  wrought  with  his  works,  and  by 
works  was  faith  made  perfect  ? 

23  And  the  Scripture  was  fulfilled  which  saith,  "A'bra-ham 
believed  God,  and  it  was  imputed  unto  him  for  righteous- 
ness: and  he  was  called  'the  Friend  of  God. 

24  Ye  see  then  how  that  by  works  a  man  is  justified,  and 
not  by  faith  only. 

25  Likewise  also  "was  not  Ra'hab  the  harlot  justified  by 
works,  when  she  had  received  the  messengers,  and  had  sent 
them  out  another  way? 

26  For  as  the  body  without  the  ||  spirit  is  dead,  so  faith 
without  works  is  dead  also. 

CHAPTKR     III. 

0/  prudence  in  reproving. 

MY  brethren,   "be  not  many  masters,  ""knowing  that  we 
shall  receive  the  greater  ||  condemnation. 
2  For  'in  many  things  we  offend  all.  ''If  any  man  offend  not 


«  My  brethren,  'hold  not  the  faith  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  the  Lord  of  glory,  with  respect  of  persons. 

2  For  if  there  come  into  your  ^synagogue  a  man  with 
a  gold  ring,  in  fine  clothing,  and  there  come  in  also 

3a  poor  man  in  vile  clothing;  and  ye  have  regard  to 
him  that  weareth  the  fine  clothing,  and  say.  Sit  thou 
here  in  a  good  place;  and  ye  say  to  the  poor  man, 

4  Stand  thou  there,  or  sit  under  my  footstool ;  'are  ye 
not  divided  'in  your  own  mind,  and  become  judges 

5  with  evil  thoughts  ?  Hearken,  my  beloved  brethren  ; 
did  not  God  choose  them  that  are  poor  as  to  the 
world  to  he  rich  in  faith,  and  heirs  of  the  kingdom 

6  which  he  promised  to  them  that  love  him?  But  ye 
have  dishonoured  the  poor  man.  Do  not  the  rich 
oppress   you,   and  themselves  drag  you  before  the 

7 judgement-seats?     Do  not  they  blaspheme  the  lion- 

Sourable  name  °by  the  which  ye  are  called?    Howbeit 

if  ye  fulfil  the  royal  law,  according  to  the  scripture. 

Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as   thyself,   ye   do 

9  well :  but  if  ye  have  respect  of  persons,  ye  commit 

sin,  being  convicted   by  the   law   as   transgressors, 

10  For  whosoever  shall  keep  the  whole  law,  and  yet 
stumble  in  one    point,  he  is  become  guilty  of  all. 

11  For  he  that  said.  Do  not  commit  adultery,  said  also, 
Do  not  kill.  Now  if  thou  dost  not  commit  adultery, 
but  killest,  thou  art  become  a  transgressor   of  the 

12  law.     So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as  men  that  are  to  be 
13judged  by  a  law  of  liberty.     For  judgement  is  with- 
out mercy  to  him  that  hath  shewed  no  mercy :  mercy 
glorieth  against  judgement. 

14  What  doth  it  profit,  my  brethren,  if  a  man  say  he 
hath  faith,  but  have  not  works?  can  that  faith  save 

15  him?     If  a  brother  or  sister  be  naked,  and  in  lack 

16  of  daily  food,  and  one  of  you  say  unto  them.  Go  in 
peace,  be  ye  warmed  and  filled;  and  yet  ye  give 
them  not  the  things  needful  to  the  body ;  what  doth 

17  it  profit?     Even  so  faith,  if  it  have  not  works,  is 

18  dead  in  itself.  'Yea,  a  man  will  say,  Thou  hast 
faith,  and  I  have  works:  shew  me  thy  faith  apart 
from  thy  works,  and  I  by  my  works  will  shew  thee 

19 my  faith.  Thou  believest  that  'God  is  one;  thou 
doest  well :    the  Mevils  also   believe,  and  shudder. 

20  But  wilt  thou  know,  O  vain  man,  that  faith  apart 

21  from  works  is  barren  ?  Was  not  A'bra-ham  our 
father  justified  by  works,  in  that  he  offered  up  I'saac 

22 his  son  upon  the  altar?  'Thou  seest  that  faith 
wrought  with  his  works,   and  by  works    was   faith 

23 made  perfect;  and  the  scripture  was  fulfilled  which 
saith,  And  A'bra-ham  believed  God,  and  it  was  reck- 
oned unto  him  for  righteousness ;  and  he  was  called 

24  the  friend  of  God.     Ye  see  that  by  works  a  man  is 

25justified,  and  not  only  by  faith.  And  in  like  manner 
was  not  also  Ra'hab  the  harlot  justified  by  works, 
in  that  she  received  the  messengers,  and  sent  them 

26  out  another  way  ?  For  as  the  body  apart  from  the 
spirit  is  dead,  even  so  faith  apart  from  works  is 
dead. 

O     Be   not   many   teachers,   my  brethren,   knowing 

2  that  we  shall  receive  '"heavier  judgement.     For  in 

many  things  we  all  stumble.     If  any  stumbleth.  not

in  word,  'the  same  ts  a  perfect  man,  and  able  also  to  bridle 
the  whole  body. 

3  Behold,  -^we  put  bits  in  the  horses'  mouths,  that  they 
may  obey  us ;  and  we  turn  about  their  whole  body. 

4  Behold  also  the  ships,  which  though  they  be  so  great, 
and  are  driven  of  fierce  winds,  yet  are  they  turned  about 
with  a  very  small  helm,  whithersoever  the  governor  listeth. 

5  Even  so  "the  tongue  is  a  little  member,  and  'boasteth  great 
things.     Behold,  how  great  ||a  matter  a  little  fire  kindleth! 

6  And 'the  tongue  is  a  fire,  a  world  of  iniquity:  so  is  the  tongue 
among  our  members,  that  'it  defileth  the  whole  body,  and  set- 
teth  on  fire  the  fcourse  of  nature ;  and  it  is  set  on  fire  of  hell. 

7  For  every  f  kind  of  beasts,  and  of  birds,  and  of  serpents,  and 
of  things  in  the  sea,  is  tamed,  and  hath  been  tamed  of  tmankiud : 

8  But  the  tongue  can  no  man  tame;  it  is  an  unruly  evil, 
'full  of  deadly  poison. 

9  Therewith  bless  we  God,  even  the  Father ;  and  therewith 
curse  we  men,  ""which  are  made  after  the  similitude  of  God. 

10  Out  of  the  same  mouth  proceedeth  blessing  and  curs- 
ing.    My  brethren,  these  things  ought  not  so  to  be. 

11  Doth  a  fountain  send  forth  at  the  same  ||  place  sweet 
water  and  bitter? 

12  Can  the  fig  tree,  my  brethren,  bear  olive  berries  ?  either  a 
vine,  figs  ?  so  can  no  fountain  both  yield  salt  water  and  fresh. 

13  "Who  is  a  wise  man  and  endued  with  knowledge  among 
you  ?  let  him  shew  out  of  a  good  conversation  "his  works 
"with  meekness  of  wisdom. 

14  But  if  ye  have  'bitter  envying  and  strife  in  your  hearts, 
glory  not,  and  lie  not  against  the  truth. 

15  'This  wisdom  descendeth  not  from  above,  but  is  earthly, 
I  sensual,  devilish. 

16  For  Svhere  envying  and  strife  is,  there  is  fconfusion 
and  every  evil  work. 

17  But  "the  wisdom  that  is  from  above  is  first  pure,  then 
peaceable,  gentle,  and  easy  to  be  entreated,  full  of  mercy 
and  good  fruits,  ||  without  partiality,  'and  without  hypocrisy. 

18  "And  the  fruit  of  righteousness  is  sown  in  peace  of  them 
ibat  make  peace. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

IVorldly  lusts  reproved. 

FROM  whence  come  wars  and  ||fightingsamongyou?  comethey 
not  hence,  even  of  your  |j  lusts  "that  war  in  your  members  ? 

2  Ye  lust,  and  have  not :  ye  1|  kill,  and  desire  to  have,  and 
cannot  obtain :  ye  fight  and  war,  yet  ye  have  not,  because 
ye  ask  not. 

3  'Ye  ask,  and  receive  not,  "because  ye  ask  amiss,  that  ye 
may  consume  it  upon  your  ||  lusts. 

4  ''Ye  adulterers  and  adulteresses,  know  ye  not  that  'the 
friendship  of  the  world  is  enmity  with  God?  %hosoever 
therefore  will  be  a  friend  of  the  world  is  the  enemy  of  God. 

5  Do  ye  think  that  the  Scripture  saith  in  vain,  "The  spirit 
that  dwelleth  in  us  lusteth  ||  to  envy? 

6  But  he  giveth  more  grace.  Wherefore  he  saith,  *God 
re.sisteth  the  proud,  but  giveth  grace  unto  the  humble. 

7  Submit  yourselves  therefore  to  God.  'Resist  the  devil, 
and  he  will  flee  from  you. 

8  *Draw  nigh  to  God,  and  he  will  draw  nigh  to  you. 
'Cleanse  your  hands,  ye  sinners ;  and  "purify  your  hearts,  ye 
"doubleminded. 

9  "Be  afflicted,  and  mourn,  and  weep:  let  your  laughter  be 
turned  to  mourning,  and  your  ]oy  to  heaviness. 

10  "Humble  yourselves  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  he 
shall  lift  you  up. 

11  'Speak  not  evil  one  of  another,  brethren.  He  that 
speaketh  evil  of  his  brother,  ''and  judgeth  his  brother, 
speaketh  evil  of  the  law,  and  judgeth  the  law:  but  if  thou 
judge  the  law,  thou  art  not  a  doer  of  the  law,  but  a  judge. 

12  There  is  one  lawgiver,  'who  is  able  to  save  and  to  de- 
stroy: 'who  art  thou  that  judgest  auother? 


in  word,  the  same  is  a  perfect  man,  able  to  bridle  the 

3  whole  body  also.  Now  if  we  put  the  horses'  bridles 
into  their  mouths,  that  they  may  obey  us,  we  turn 

4  about  their  whole  body  also.  Behold,  the  ships  also, 
though  they  are  so  great,  and  are  driven  by  rough 
winds,  are  yet  turned  about  by  a  very  small  rudder, 

5  whither  the  impulse  of  the  steersman  willeth.  So 
the  tongue  also  is  a  little  member,  and  boasteth  great 
things.     Behold,  'how  much  wood  is  kindled  by  how 

6  small  a  fire !  And  the  tongue  is  ^a  fire :  ^the  world 
of  iniquity  among  our  members  is  the  tongue,  which 
defileth  the  whole  body,  and  setteth  on  fire  the  wheel 

7  of  ^nature,  and  is  set  on  fire  by  hell.  For  every 
"kind  of  beasts  and  birds,  of  creeping  things  and 
things  in  the  sea,  is  tamed,  and  hath  been  tamed  *by 

8 ^mankind:  but  the  tongue  can  no  man  tame;  it  is 

9  a  restless  evil,  it  is  full  of  deadly  poison.    Therewith 

bless  we  the  Lord  and  Father;  and  therewith  curse 

we  men,  which  are  made  after  the  likeness  of  God  : 

10  out  of  the  same  mouth  cometh  forth  blessing  and 
cursing.     My  brethren,  these  things  ought  not  so  to 

11  be.     Doth  the  fountain   send  forth  from  the  same 
12 opening  sweet  water  and  bitter?  can  a  fig  tree,  my 

brethren,  yield  olives,  or  a  vine  figs?   neither  can 
salt  water  yield  sweet. 

13  Who  is  wise  and  understanding  among  you?  let 
him  shew  by  his  good  life  his  works  in  meekness  of 

14  wisdom.  But  if  ye  have  bitter  jealousy  and  faction 
in  your  heart,  glory  not  and  lie  not  against  the  truth. 

15  This  wisdom  is  not  a  wisdom  that  cometh  down  from 

16  above,  but  is  earthly, 'sensual, 'devilish.  For  where 
jealousy  and  faction  are,  there  is  confusion  and  every 

17  vile  deed.  But  the  wisdom  that  is  from  above  is 
first  pure,  then  peaceable,  gentle,  easy  to  be  intreated, 
full   of   mercy  and   good  fruits,  without  "Variance, 

18  without  hypocrisy.  And  the  fruit  of  righteousness 
is  sown  in  peace  "for  them  that  make  peace. 

^  Whence  come  wars  and  whence  come  fightings 
among    you?    com^  they   not    hence,  even  of  your 

2  pleasures  that  war  in  your  members  ?  Ye  lust,  and 
nave  not :  ye  kill,  and  '^covet,  and  cannot  obtain : 
ye  fight  and  war ;  ye  have  not,  because  ye  ask  not. 

3  xe  ask,  and  receive  not,  because  ye  ask  amiss,  that 

4  ye  may  spend  it  in  your  pleasures.  Ye  adulteresses, 
know  ye  not  that  the  friendship  of  the  world  is  en- 
mity with  God?  Whosoever  therefore  would  be  a 
friend  of  the  world  maketh  himself  an  enemy  of  God. 

5 Or  think  ye  that  the  scripture  "speaketh  in  vain? 
'*Doth  the  spirit  which  "he  made  to  dwell  in  us  long 

6  unto  envying?  But  he  giveth  "more  grace.  Where- 
fore the  scripture  saith,  God  resisteth  the  proud,  but 

7  giveth  grace  to  the  humble.  Be  subject  therefore 
unto  God ;  but  resist  the  devil,  and  he  will  flee  from 

8  you.  Draw  nigh  to  God,  and  he  will  draw  nigh  to 
you.     Cleanse  your  hands,  ye  sinners;  and  purify 

9  your  hearts,  ye  doubleminded.  Be  afflicted,  and 
mourn,  and  weep :   let  your  laughter  be  turned  to 

10  mourning,  and  your  joy  to  heaviness.  Humble 
yourselves  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and  he  shall 
exalt  you. 

11  Speak  not  one  against  another,  brethren.  He  that 
speaketh  against  a  brother,  or  judgeth  his  brother, 
speaketh  again.st  the  law,  and  judgeth  the  law :  but 
if  thou  judgest  the  law,  thou  art  not  a  doer  of  the 

12  law,  but  a  judge.  One  only  is  the  lawgiver  and  judge, 
even  he  who  is  able  to  save  and  to  destroy :  but  who 
art  thou  that  judgest  thy  neighbour?

.     CHAPTER    V. 

IVtcked  rich  men  warned. 

GO  "to  now,  ye  rich  men,  and  weep  and  howl  for  your 
miseries  that  shall  come  upon  you. 

2  Your  riches  are  corrupted,  and  'your  garments  are 
motheaten. 

3  Your  gold  and  silver  is  cankered ;  and  the  rust  of  them 
shall  be  a  witness  again.st  you,  and  shall  eat  your  flesh  as  it 
were  fire.  'Ye  have  heaped  treasure  together  for  the  last 
days. 

4  Behold,  ''the  hire  of  the  labourers  who  have  reaped  down 
your  fields,  which  is  of  you  kept  back  by  fraud,  crieth :  and 
'the  cries  of  them  which  havi'  reaped  are  entered  into  the 
ears  of  the  Lord  of  Sab'a-oth. 

5  ■'Ye  have  lived  in  pleasure  on  the  earth,  and  been  wanton ; 
ye  have  nourished  your  hearts,  as  in  a  day  of  slaughter. 

6  "Ye  have  coudemned  and  killed  the  just ;  and  he  doth 
not  resist  you. 

7  II  Be  patient  therefore,  brethren,  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord.  Behold,  the  husbandman  waiteth  for  the  precious 
fruit  of  the  earth,,  and  hath  long  patience  for  it,  until  he  re- 
ceive *the  early  and  latter  rain. 

8  Be  ye  also  patient;  stablish  your  hearts:  for  the  com- 
ing of  the  Lord  draweth  nigh. 

9  *||  Grudge  not  one  against  another,  brethren,  le.st  ye  be 
condemned:  behold,  the  judge  'standeth  before  the  door. 

10  "Take,  my  brethren,  the  prophets,  who  have  spoken  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord,  for  an  example  of  suffering  affliction, 
and  of  patience. 

11  Behold,  "we  count  them  happy  which  endure.  Ye  have 
heard  of  "the  patience  of  Job,  and  have  seen  ''the  end  of  the 
Lord ;  that  'the  Lord  is  very  pitiful,  and  of  tender  mercy. 

12  But  above  all  thiugs,  my  brethren,  'swear  not,  neither 
by  heaven,  neither  by  the  earth,  neither  by  any  other  oath : 
but  let  your  yea  be  yea;  and  your  nay,  nay;  lest  ye  fall 
into  condemnation. 

13  Is  any  among  you  afflicted?  let  him  pray.  Is  any 
merry?  "let  him  sing  psalms. 

14  Is  any  sick  among  you?  let  him  call  for  the  elders  of 
the  church;  and  let  them  pray  over  him,  'anointing  him 
with  oil  in  the  name  of  the  Lord : 

15  And  the  prayer  of  faith  shall  save  the  sick,  and  the 
Lord  shall  raise  him  up;  "and  if  he  have  committed  sins, 
tliey  shall  be  forgiven  him. 

16  Confess  your  faults  one  to  another,  and  pray  one  for 
another,  that  ye  may  be  healed.  ■'The  eflFectual  fervent 
prayer  of  a  righteous  man  availeth  much. 

17  E-li'as  was  a  man  "subject  to  like  pa.s.sions  as  we  are,  and 
'lie  prayed  || earnestly  that  it  might  not  rain:  "and  it  rained 
not  on  the  earth  by  the  space  of  three  years  and  six  months. 

18  And  ""he  prayed  again,  and  the  heaven  gave  rain,  and 
the  earth  brought  forth  her  fruit. 

19  Brethren,  ''if  any  of  you  do  err  from  the  truth,  and  one 
convert  him; 

20  Let  him  know,  that  he  which  converteth  the  sinner 
from  the  error  of  his  way  ''shall  save  a  soul  from  death,  and 
•shall  hide  a  multitude  of  sins. 


13  Go  to  now,  ye  that  say,  To-day  or  to-morrow 
we  will  go  into   this  city,  and   spend  a  year  there, 

14  and  trade,  and  get  gain :  whereas  ye  know  not 
what  shall  be  on  the  morrow.  What  is  your  life? 
For  ye  are  a  vapour,  that  appeareth  for  a  little  time, 

15  and  then  vanisheth  away.  'For  that  ye  ought  to 
say.  If  the  Lord  will,  we   shall   both  live,  and  do 

16  this  or  that.     But  now  ye  glory  in  your  vauntings 

17  all  such  glorying  is  evil.  To  him  therefore  that 
knoweth  to  do  good,  and  doeth  it  not,  to  him  it 
is  sin. 

V  Go  to  now,  ye  rich,  weep  and  howl  for  your  mis- 

2  eries  that  are  coming  upon  you.     Your  riches  are 

3  corrupted,  and  your  garments  are  moth-eaten.  Your 
gold  and  your  silver  are  ru.sted ;  and  their  rust  shall 
be  for  a  testimony  ^against  you,  and  shall  eat  your 
flesh  as  fire.     Ye  have  laid  up  your  treasure  in  the 

4  last  days.  Behold,  the  hire  of  the  labourers  who 
mowed  your  fields,  which  is  of  you  kept  back  by 
fraud,  crieth  out :  and  the  cries  of  them  that  reaped 
have  entered  into  the  ears  of  the  Lord  of  Sab'a-oth. 

5  Ye  have  lived  delicately  on  the  earth,  and  taken  your 
pleasure ;  ye  have  nourished  your  hearts  in  a  day  of 

6  slaughter.  Ye  have  condemned,  ye  have  killed  the 
righteous  one;  he  doth  not  resist  you. 

7  Be   patient  therefore,  brethren,  until  the  'coming 
.  of  the  Lord.     Behold,  the  husbandman  waiteth  for 

the  precious  fruit  of  the  earth,  being  patient  over  it, 

8  until  *it  receive  the  early  and  latter  rain.  Be  ye  also 
patient;  stablish  your  hearts :  for  the  'coming  of  the 

9  Lord  is  at  hand.  Murmur  not, brethren,  one  against 
another,  that  ye  be  not  judged:  behold,  the  judge 

10  standeth  before  the  doors.  Take,  brethren,  for  an 
example   of  sufiering  and  of  patience,  the  prophets 

11  who  spake  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.  Behold,  we 
call  them  blessed  which  endured :  ye  have  heard  of 
the  'patience  of  Job,  and  have  seen  the  end  of  the 
Lord,  how  that  the  Lord  is  full  of  pity,  and  merciful. 

12  But  above  all  things,  my  brethren,  swear  not, 
neither  by  the  heaven,  nor  by  the  earth,  nor  by  any 
other  oath :  but  'let  your  yea  be  yea,  and  your  nay, 
nay;  that  ye  fall  not  under  judgement. 

13  Is  any  among   you   suffering?  let   him   pray.     Is 
14 any  cheerful?  let   him  sing  praise.     Is  any  among 

you  sick  ?  let  him  call  for  the  elders  of  the  church ; 
and  let  them  pray  over  him,  ^anointing  him  with  oil 
15 in  the  name  of  the  Lord:  and  the  prayer  of  faith 
shall  save  him  that  is  sick,  and  the  Lord  shall  raise 
him  up;  and  if  he  have  committed  sins,  it  shall  be 

16  forgiven  him.  Confess  therefore  your  sins  one  to 
another,  and  pray  one  for  another,  that  ye  may  be 
healed.     The  supplication  of  a  righteous  man  availeth 

17  much  in  its  working.  E-li'jah  was  a  man  of  like  *pas- 
sions  with  us,  and  he  prayed  'fervently  that  it  might 
not  rain  ;  and  it  rained  not  on  the  earth  for  three 

18  years  and  six  months.  And  he  prayed  again ;  and 
the  heaven  gave  rain,  and  the  earth  brought  forth 
her  fruit. 

19  My  brethren,  if  any  among  you  do  err  from  the 

20  truth,  and  one  convert  him  ;  '"let  him  know,  that  he 
which  converteth  a  sinner  from  the  error  of  his  way 
shall  save  a  soul  from  death,  and  shall  cover  a  mul- 
titude of  sins.

'scattered  throughout  Pon'tus,  Ga-la'ti-a,  Cap-pa-do'ci-a, 
A'si-a,  and  Bi-thyn'i-a, 

2  'Elect  'according  to  the  foreknowledge  of  God  the 
Father,  ''through  sanctification  of  the  Spirit,  unto  obedience 
and  'sprinkling  of  the  blood  of  Jesus  Chri.st :  ■'Grace  unto 
yen,  and  peace,  be  multiplied. 

3  "Blessed  be  the  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
which  ''according  to  his  f^bundant  mercy  'liath  begotten 
us  again  unto  a  lively  hope  *by  the  resurrection  of  Jesus 
Christ  from  the  dead, 

4  To  an  inheritance  incorruptible,  and  undefiled,  'and  that 
fadeth  not  away,  "reserved  in  heaven  ||  for  you, 

5  "Who  are  kept  by  the  power  of  God  through  faith  unto 
salvation  ready  to  be  revealed  in  the  last  time. 

6  "Wherein  ye  greatly  rejoice,  though  now  "for  a  season,  if 
need  be,  'ye  are  in  heaviness  through  manifold  temptations : 

7  That  ''the  trial  of  your  faith,  being  much  more  precious 
tlian  of  gold  that  perisheth,  though  'it  be  tried  with  fire, 
'might  be  found  unto  praise  and  honour  and  glory  at  the 
appearing  of  Jesus  Christ: 

8  "Whom  having  not  seen,  ye  love;  "'in  whom,  fliough 
now  ye  see  him  not,  yet  believing,  ye  rejoice  with  joy  un- 
speakable and  full  of  glory  : 

9  Receiving  "the  end  of  your  faith,  eoen  the  salvation  of 
your  souls. 

10  'Of  which  salvation  the  prophets  have  inquired  and 
searched  diligently,  who  prophesied  of  the  grace  that  should 
come  unto  you : 

11  Searching  what,  or  what  manner  of  time  "the  Spirit  of 
Christ  which  was  in  them  did  signify,  when  it  testified  be- 
forehand 'the  sufferings  of  Christ,  and  the  glory  that  should 
follow.

unto  you  with  "the  Holy  Ghost  sent  down  from  heaven ; 
'^which  things  the  angels  desire  to  look  into. 

13  Wherefore  'gird  up  the  loins  of  your  mind,  *be  sober,

7  Uuto  you  therefore  which  believe  he  is  ||  precious:  but 
unto  them  which  be  disobedient,  "'the  stone  which  the  build- 
ers disallowed,  the  same  is.  made  the  head  of  the  corner, 

8  "And  a  stone  of  stumbling,  and  a  rock  of  offence,  "even 
to  them  which  stumble  at  the  word,  being  disobedient: 
"whereunto  also  they  were  appointed. 

9  But  ye  are  "a  chosen  generation,  ''a  royal  priesthood,  'a 
holy  nation,  '||a  peculiar  people;  that  ye  should  shew  forth 
the  Upraises  of  him  who  hath  called  you  out  of  "darkness 
into  his  marvellous  light: 

10  "'Which  in  time  past  tvere  not  a  people,  but  are  now  the 
people  of  God:  which  had  not  obtained  mercy,  but  now 
have  obtained  mercy. 

11  Dearly  beloved,  I  beseech  yo^i,  ''as  strangers  and  pil- 
grims, 'abstain  from  fleshly  lusts,  "which  war  against  the 
soul; 

12  ''Having  your  conversation  honest  among  the  Gentiles: 
that,  II  whereas  they  speak  against  you  as  evil  doers,  "they 
may  by  your  good  works,  which  they  shall  behold,  glorify 
God  ''in  the  day  of  visitation. 

13  'Submit  yourselves  to  every  ordinance  of  man  for  the 
Lord's  sake :  whether  it  be  to  the  king,  as  supreme ; 

14  Or  unto  governors,  as  uuto  them  that  are  sent  by  him 
■^for  the  punishment  of  evil  doers,  and  "for  the  praise  of  them 
that  do  well. 

15  For  so  is  the  will  of  God,  that  ''with  well  doing  ye  may 
put  to  silence  the  ignorance  of -foolish  men  : 

16  'As  free,  and  not  fusing  yottr  liberty  for  a  cloak  of 
maliciousness,  but  as  *'the  .servants  of  God. 

17  'II  Honour  all  men.  ""Love  the  brotherhood.  "Fear 
God.     Honour  the  king. 

18  "Servants,  be  subject  to  your  masters  with  all  fear;  not 
only  to  the  good  and  gentle,  but  also  to  the  froward. 

19  For  this  is  ||  "thankworthy,  if  a  man  for  conscience 
toward  God  endure  grief,  suffering  wrongfully. 

20  For  ''what  glory  is  it  if,  when  ye  be  buffeted  for  your 
faults,  ye  shall  take  it  patiently?  but  if,  when  ye  do  well, 
and  suffer  for  it,  ye  take  it  patiently,  this  is  || acceptable 
with  God. 

21  For  •'even  hereunto  were  ye  called :  because  'Christ 
also  suffered  ||  for  us,  'leaving  us  an  example,  that  ye  should 
follow  his  steps: 

22  "Who  did  no  sin,  neither  was  guile  found  in  his  mouth  : 

23  ''Who,  when  he  was  reviled,  reviled  not  again ;  when  he 


truth  unto  unfeigned  love  of  the  brethren,  love  one 

23  another  'from  the  heart  fervently :  having  been  be- 
gotten again,  not  of  corruptible  seed,  but  of  incor- 
ruptible, through  the  word  of  ^God,  which  livef-h  and 

24  abideth.     For, 

All  flesh  is  as  grass. 

And  all  the  glory  thereof  as  the  flower  of  grass. 

The  grass  withereth,  and  the  flower  falleth  : 

25  But  the  'word  of  the  Lord  abideth  for  ever. 

And  this  is  the  'word  of  good  tidings  which  was 
preached  unto  you. 

^  Putting   away    therefore   all    Wickedness,  and  all 

guile,    and    hypocrisies,    and    envies,    and    all   evil 

2  speakings,  as  newborn  babes,  long  for  the  'spiritual 

milk    which  is  without  guile,   that   ye    may    grow 

3 thereby  unto  salvation;  if  ye  have  tasted  that  the 

4  Lord   is  gracious :     unto    whom    coming,  a  living 

stone,   rejected  indeed  of  men,  but  with  God  elect, 

5*precious,  ye  also,  as  living  stones,  are  built  up  'i 

spiritual   house,  to  be  a  holy    priesthood,  to    offer 

up    spiritual    sacrifices,  acceptable  to    God  through 

6  Jesus  Christ.     Because  it  is  contained  in  'scripture. 

Behold,  I  lay  in  Zi'on  a  chief  corner  stone,  elect, 

'precious : 

And  he  that  believeth  on  'him  shall  not  be  put  to 
shame. 

7 '"For  you  therefore  which  believe  is  the  "precious- 
ness  :  but  for  such  as  disbelieve. 
The  stone  which  the  builders  rejected, 
The  same  was  made  the  head  of  the  corner ; 
Sand, 

A  stone  of  stumbling,  and  a  rock  of  offence ; 
'^  for  they  "stumble  at  the  word,  being  disobedient : 
9  whereunto  also  they  were  appointed.     But  ye  are  an 
elect  race,  a  royal  priesthood,  a  holy  nation,  a  people 
for  God's  own  possession,  that  ye  may  shew  forth  the 
excellencies  of  him  who  called  you  out  of  darkness 

10  into  his  marvellous  light:  which  in  time  past  wer« 
no  people,  but  now  are  the  people  of  God :  which  had 
not  obtained  mercy,  but  now  have  obtained  mercy. 

11  Beloved,  I  beseech  you  as  sojourners  and  pilgrims, 
to  abstain  from  fleshly  lusts,  which  war  against  the 

12  soul;  having  your  behaviour  seemly  among  the  Gen- 
tiles; that,  wherein  they  speak  against  you  as  evil- 
doers, they  may  by  your  good  works,  which  they 
behold,  glorify  God  in  the  day  of  visitation. 

13  Be  subject  to  every  '^ordinance  of  man  for  the 
Lord's  sake :  whether  it  be  to  the  king,  as  supreme ; 

14  or  unto  governors,  as  sent  "'by  him  for  vengeance  on 

15  evil-doers  and  for  praise  to  them  that  do  well.  For 
so  is  the  will  of  God,  that  by  well-doing  ye  should 

16  put  to  silence  the  ignorance  of  foolish  men  :  as  free, 
and  not  "'using  your  freedom  for  a  cloke  of  *wicked- 

17  ness,  but  as  bondservants  of  God.  Honour  all  men. 
Love  the  brotherhood.  Fear  God.  Honour  the  king. 

18  "Servants,  be  in  subjection  to  your  masters  with 
all  fear ;  not  only  to  tlie  good  and  gentle,  but  also 

19  to  the  froward.  For  this  is  '"acceptable,  if  for  con- 
science '^'toward  God  a  mau  endureth  griefs,  suffer-

ye  sin,  and  are  buffeted  for  it,  ye  shall  take  it 
patiently  ?  but  if,  when  ye  do  well,  and  suffer  for 
it,   ye    shall    take    it   patiently,    this  is  '"acceptable 

21  with  God.  For  hereunto  were  ye  called :  because 
Christ   also    suffered  for  you,  leaving   you   an  ex- 

22 ample,  that  ye   should   follow    his  steps:    who    did 

23 no  sin,  neither  was  guile  found  in  his  mouth:  who,

snfPered,  he  threatened  not;  but  "I | committed  himself  to  him 
that  judgeth  righteously : 

24  'Who  his  own  self  bare  our  sins  in  his  own  body  ||  on 
the  tree,  "that  we,  being  dead  to  sins,  should  live  unto 
righteousness :  ''by  whose  stripes  ye  were  healed. 

25  For  ''ye  were  as  sheep  going  astray;  but  are  now  re- 
turned ''unto  the  Shepherd  and  Bishop  of  your  souls. 

CHAPTER    III. 

Duty  of  wives  and  husbands. 

LIKEWISE,  "ye  wives,  be  in   subjection   to  your  own 
husbands ;  that,  if  any  obey  not  the  word,  ''they  also  may 
without  the  word  ''be  won  by  the  conversation  of  the  wives; 

2  'While  they  behold  your  chaste  conversation  coupled 
with  fear. 

3  'Whose  adorning,  let  it  not  be  that  outward  adorning  of 
plaiting  the  hair,  and  of  wearing  of  gold,  or  of  putting  on  of 
apparel; 

4  But  let  it  he  •'^the  hidden  man  of  the  heart,  in  that  which 
is  not  corruptible,  even  the  ornament  of  a  meek  and  quiet 
spirit,  which  is  in  the  sight  of  God  of  great  price. 

5  For  after  this  manner  in  the  old  time  the  holy  women 
also,  who  trusted  in  God,  adorned  themselves,  being  in  sub- 
jection unto  their  own  husbands: 

6  Even  as  Sa'rah  obeyed  A'bra-ham,  "calling  him  lord: 
whose  fdaughters  ye  are,  as  long  as  ye  do  well,  and  are  not 
afraid  with  any  amazement. 

7  ''Likewise,  ye  husbands,  dwell  with  them  according  to 
knowledge,  giving  honour  unto  the  wife,  'as  unto  the  weaker 
vessel,  and  as  being  heirs  together  of  the  grace  of  life ;  *that 
your  prayers  be  not  hindered. 

8  Finally,  '6e  ye  all  of  one  mind,  having  compassion  one  of 
another;  "'||love  as  brethren,  "he  pitiful,  be  courteous: 

9  "Not  rendering  evil  for  evil,  or  railing  for  railing:  but 
contrariwise,  blessing;  knowing  that  ye  are  thereunto  called, 
"that  ye  should  inherit  a  blessing. 

10  For  «he  that  will  love  life,  and  see  good  days,  ""let  him 
refrain  his  tongue  from  evil,  and  his  lips  that  they  speak  no 
guile : 

1 1  Let  him  'eschew  evil  and  do  good ;  'let  him  seek  peace, 
and  ensue  it. 

12  For  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  are  over  the  righteous,  "and 
his  ears  are  open  unto  their  prayers:  but  the  face  of  the 
Lord  is  fagainst  them  that  do  evil. 

13  ''And  who  is  he  that  will  harm  you,  if  ye  be  followers 
of  that  which  is  good? 

14  "But  and  if  ye  suffer  for  righteousnes.s'  sake,  happy  are 
ye;  and  'be  not  afraid  of  their  terror,  neither  be  troubled; 

15  But  sanctify  the  Lord  God  in  your  hearts :  and  "be  ready 
always  to  give  an  answer  to  every  man  that  asketh  you  a 
reason  of  the  hope  that  is  in  you,  with  meekness  and  ||  fear: 

16  ''Having  a  good  conscience ;  "that,  whereas  they  speak 
evil  of  you,  as  of  evil  doers,  they  may  be  ashamed  that 
falsely  accuse  your  good  conversation  in  Christ. 

17  For  it  is  better,  if  the  will  of  God  be  so,  that  ye  suffer 
for  well  doing,  than  for  evil  doing. 

18  For  Christ  also  hath  ''once  suffered  for  sins,  the  just  for 
the  unjust,  that  he  might  bring  us  to  God,  'being  put  to 
death  •''in  the  flesh,  but  "quickened  by  the  Spirit: 

19  By  which  also  he  went  and  ''preached  unto  the  spirits 
*in  prison; 

20  Which  sometime  were  disobedient,  *when  once  the 
longsuffering  of  God  waited  in  the  days  of  No'ah,  while  'the 
ark  was  a  preparing,  "wherein  few,  that  is,  eight  souls  were 
saved  by  water. 

21  "The  like  figure  whereunto  even  baptism  doth  also 
now  save  us,  (not  the  putting  away  of  "the  filth  of  the  flesh, 
"but  the  answer  of  a  good  conscience  toward  God,)  'by  the 
resurrection  of  Jesus  Christ : 


suffered,  threatened  not;  but  committed  ^himself  to 
24 him  that  judgeth  righteously:  who  his  own  self 
^bare  our  sins  in  his  body  upon  the  tree,  that  we, 
having  died  unto  sins,  might  live  unto  righteous- 
25  ness ;  by  whose  'stripes  ye  were  healed.  For  ye 
were  going  astray  like  sheep;  but  are  now  re- 
turned unto  the  Shepherd  and  ^Bishop  of  your 
souls. 

O  In  like  manner,  ye  wives,  he  in  subjection  to  your 
own  husbands;  that,  even  if  any  obey  not  the  word, 
they  may  without  the  word  be  gained  by  the  'beha- 

2  viour  of  their  wives;    beholding  your  chaste   °be- 

3haviour  coupled  with  fear.  Whose  adorning  let  it 
not  be  the  outward  adorning  of  plaiting  the  hair, 
and  of  wearing  jewels  of  gold,  or  of  putting  on 

4 apparel;  but  let  it  he  the  hidden  man  of  the  heart, 
in  the  incorruptible  apparel  of  a  meek  and  quiet 
spirit,   which  is  in  the  sight  of  God  of  great  price. 

5  For  after  this  manner  aforetime  the  holy  women 
also,  who  hoped  in  God,  adorned  themselves,  being 

6  in  subjection  to  their  own  ^husbands :  as  Sa'rah 
obeyed  A'bra-ham,  calling  him  lord :  whose  children 
ye  now  are,  if  ye  do  well,  and  are  not  'put  in  fear 
by  any  terror. 

7  Ye  husbands,  in  like  manner,  dwell  with  your 
wives  according  to  knowledge,  giving  honour  'unto 
the  woman,  as  unto  the  weaker  vessel,  as  being  also 
joint-heirs  of  the  grace  of  life;  to  the  end  that  your 
prayers  be  not  hindered. 

8  Finally,  he  ye  all  likeminded,  'compassionate,  lov- 

9  ing  as  brethren,  tenderhearted,  humbleminded:  not 
rendering  evil  for  evil,  or  reviling  for  reviling;  but 
contrariwise  blessing ;  for  hereunto  were  ye  called, 

10  that  ye  should  inherit  a  blessing.     For, 

He  that  would  love  life, 

And  see  good  days. 

Let  him  refrain  his  tongue  from  evil. 

And  his  lips  that  they  speak  no  guile: 

11  And  let  him  turn  away  from  evil,  and  do  good; 
Let  him  seek  peace,  and  pursue  it. 

12  For  the  eyes  of  the  Lord  are  upon  the  righteous, 
And  his  ears  unto  their  supplication : 

But  the  face  of  the  Lord  is  upon  them  that  do  evil. 

13  And  who  is  he  that  will  harm  you,  if  ye  be  zeal- 
14ous  of  that  which  is  good?     But  and  if  ye  should 

suffer  for  righteousness'  sake,  blessed  are  ye:  and 
15  fear  not  their  fear,  neither  be  troubled;  but  sanctify 
in  your  hearts  Christ  as  Lord :  being  ready  always 
to  give  answer  to  every  man  that  asketh  you  a  reason 
concerning  the  hope  that  is  in  you,  yet  with  meek- 
16 ness  and  fear:  having  a  good  conscience;  that, 
wherein  ye  are  spoken  against,  they  may  be  put  to 
shame  who  revile  your  good  manner  of  life  in  Christ- 

17  For  it  is  better,  if  the  will  of  God  should  so  will, 
that   ye    .suffer  for  well-doing  than   for  evil-doing, 

18  Because  Christ  also  '"suffered  for  sins  once,  the  right- 
eous for  the  unrighteous,  that  he  might  bring  us  to 
God;  being  put  to  death  in  the  flesh,  but  quickened 

19  in  the  spirit;  in  M-hich  also  he  went  and  preached 

20  unto  the  spirits  in  prison,  which  aforetime  were  dis' 
obedient,  when  the  longsuffering  of  God  waited  in  the 
days  of  No'ah,  while  the  ark  wasa  preparing,  "where- 
in few,  that  is,  eight  souls,  were  saved  through  water 

21  which  also  '^after  a  true  likeness  doth  now  save  you, 
even  baptism,  not  the  putting  away  of  the  filth  of  the 
flesh,  but  the  "interrogation  of  a  good  conscience  to- 
ward God,  through  the  resurrection  of  Jesus  Christ ;

CHAPTER    IV. 

0/  ceasing  from  sin. 

FORASMUCH  then  "as  Christ  hath  suffered  for  us  in  the 
flesh,  arm  yourselves  likewise  with  the  same  mind:  for 
'he  that  hath  suffered  in  the  flesh  hath  ceased  from  sin ; 

2  ''That  he  no  longer  ''should  live  the  rest  of  his  time  in 
the  flesh  to  the  lusts  of  men,  'but  to  the  will  of  God. 

3  'For  the  time  past  of  our  life  may  suffice  us  "to  have 
wrought  the  will  of  the  Gentiles,  when  we  walked  in  lasciv- 
iousness,  lusts,,  excess  of  wine,  revellings,  banquetings,  and 
abominable  idolatries: 

4  Wherein  they  think  it  strange  that  ye  run  not  with  them 
to  the  same  excess  of  riot,  'spci^king  evil  of  you  : 

5  Who  shall  give  account  to  him  that  is  ready  to  judge 
the  quick  and  the  dead. 

6  For,  for  this  cause  *was  the  gospel  preached  also  to 
them  that  are  dead,  that  they  might  be  judged  according  to 
men  in  the  flesh,  but  live  according  to  God  in  the  spirit. 

7  But  'the  end  of  all  things  is  at  hand :  "be  ye  therefore 
sober,  and  watch  unto  prayer. 

8  "And  above  all  things  have  fervent  charity  among  your- 
selves: for  "charity  ||  shall  cover  the  multitucle  of  sins. 

9  "Use  hospitality  one  to  another  'without  grudging. 

10  'As  every  man  hath  received  the  gift,  even  so  minister 
the  same  one  to  another,  'as  good  stewards  of  the  manifold 
grace  of  God. 

1 1  "If  any  man  speak,  let  him  speak  as  the  oracles  of  God ; 
"'if  any  man  minister,  let  him  do  it  as  of  the  ability  which 
God  giveth  ;  that  "God  in  all  things  may  be  glorified  through 
Jesus  Christ :  Ho  whom  be  praise  and  dominion  for  ever  and 
ever.     Amen. 

12  Beloved,  think  it  not  strange  concerning  "the  fiery  trial 
which  is  to  try  you,  as  though  some  strange  thing  happened 
unto  you : 

13  ''But  rejoice,  inasmuch  as  °ye  are  partakers  of  Christ's 
sufferings ;  ''that,  when  his  glory  shall  be  revealed,  ye  may 
be  glad  also  with  exceeding  joy. 

14  "If  ye  be  reproached  for  the  name  of  Christ,  happy 
are  ye;  for  the  Spirit  of  glory  and  of  God  resteth  upon  you: 
■'on  their  part  he  is  evil  spoken  of,  but  on  your  part  be  is 
glorified. 

15  But  "let  none  of  you  suffer  as  a  murderer,  or  as  a  thief, 
or  as  an  evil  doer,  ''or  as  a  busybody  in  other  men's  matters. 

16  Yet  if  any  man  suffer  as  a  Christian,  let  him  not  be 
ashamed ;  'but  let  him  glorify  God  on  this  behalf. 

17  For  the  time  is  come  *that  judgment  must  begin  at  the 
house  of  God :  and  'if  it  first  begin  at  us,  "'what  shall  the 
end  be  of  them  that  obey  not  the  gospel  of  God  ? 

18  "And  if  the  righteous  scarcely  be  saved,  where  shall  the 
ungodly  and  the  sinner  appear? 

19  Wherefore,  let  them  that  suffer  according  to  the  will  of 
God  "commit  the  keeping  of  their  souls  to  him  in  well 
doing,  as  unto  a  faithful  Creator. 

CHAF-TER  V. 

The  duty  of  elders,  i3fc. 

THE  elders  w  jich  are  among  you  I  exhort,  who  am  also 
"an  elder,  f.aA  'a  witness  of  the  sufferings  of  Christ,  and 
also  "a  partakf  f  of  the  glory  that  shall  be  revealed  : 

2  ''Feed  thf  flock  of  God  ||  which  is  among  yon,  taking 
the  oversight  thereof,  *not  by  constraint,  but  willingly;  ■''not 
for  filthy  lucre,  but  of  a  ready  mind ; 

3  Neither  as  ||  "being  lords  over  ^  God's  heritage,  but  *being 
ensamples  to  the  flock. 

4  And  when  *the  chief  Shepherd  shall  appear,  ye  shall  re- 
ceive 'a  crown  of  glory  ""that  fadeth  not  away. 

5  Likewise,  ye  younger,  submit  yourselves  unto  the  elder.

22  who  is  on  the  right  hand  of  God,  having  gone  into 
heaven;  angels  and  authorities  and  powers  being 
made  subject  unto  him. 

"^  Forasmuch  then  as  Christ  suffered  in  the  flesh,  arm 
ye  yourselves  also  with  the  same  'mind;  for  he  that 

2 hath  suffered  in  the  flesh  hath  ceased  ^from  sin;  that 
'ye  no  longer  should  live  the  rest  of  your  time  in 
the  flesh  to  the  lusts  of  men,  but  to  the  will  of  God. 

3  For  the  time  past  may  suffice  to  have  wrought  the 
desire  of  the  Gentiles,  and  to  have  walked  in  las- 
civiousnes.9,  lusts,  winebibbings,  revellings,  carous- 

4ings,  and  abominable  idolatries:  wherein  they  think 
it  strange  that  ye  run  not  with  them,  into  the  same 

5  ^excess  of  riot,  speaking  evil  of  you :  who  shall  give 
account  to  him  that  is  ready  to  judge  the  quick  and 

6  the  dead.  For  unto  this  end  'was  the  gospel  preached 
even  to  the  dead,  that  they  might  be  judged  accord- 
ing to  men  in  the  flesh,  but  live  according  to  God 
in  the  spirit. 

7  But  the  end  of  all  things  is  at  hand:  be  ye  there- 
fore of  sound    mind,  and   be   sober    unto  'prayer: 

8  above  all  things  being  fervent  in  your  love  among 
yourselves;  for  love  covereth  a  multitude   of  sins: 

9  using  hospitality   one  to  another  without  murraur- 
lOing:  according  as  each  hath  received  a  gift,  minis- 
tering it  among  yourselves,  as  good  stewards  of  the 

11  manifold  grace  of  God  ;  if  any  man  speaketh,  speak- 
ing as  it  were  oracles  of  God ;  if  any  man  minis- 
tereth,  ministering  as  of  the  strength  which  God 
supplieth:  that  in  all  things  God  may  be  glorified 
through  Jesus  Christ,  whose  is  the  glory  and  the 
dominion  ^for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

12  Beloved,  think  it  not  strange  concerning  the  fiery 
trial  among  you,  which  conieth  upon  you  to  prove 
you,   as    though    a    strange    thing    happened    unto 

13 you:  but  insomuch  as  ye  are  partakers  of  Christ's 
sufferings,  rejoice;  that  at  the  revelation  of  his  glory 

14  also  ye  may  rejoice  with  exceeding  joy.  If  ye  are 
reproached  *for  the  name  of  Christ,  blessed  are  ye; 
because  the  Spirit  of  glory  and  the  Spirit  of  God 

15  resteth  upon  you.  For  let  none  of  you  suffer  as  a 
murderer,  or  a  thief,  or  an  evil-doer,  or  as  a  meddler 

16  in  other  men's  matters :  but  if  o  man  suffer  as  a 
Christian,  let  him    not   be    ashamed;    but   let   him 

17  glorify  God  in  this  name.  For  the  time  is  come  for 
judgement  to  begin  at  the  house  of  God:  and  \i it 
begin  first  at  us,  what  shall  be  the  end  of  them  that 

18  obey  not  the  gospel  of  God?  And  if  the  righteous 
is  scarcely  saved,  where  shall  the  ungodly  and  sinner 

19  appear?  Wherefore  let  them  also  that  suffer  accord- 
ing to  the  will  of  God  commit  their  souls  in  well- 
doing unto  a  faithful  Creator. 

O  The  elders  therefore  among  you  I  exhort,  who 
am  a  fellow-elder,  and  a  witness  of  the  sufferings  of 
Christ,  who  am   also  a  partaker  of  the  glory  that 

2  shall  be  revealed :  Tend  the  flock  of  God  which  is 
among  you,  'exercising  the  oversight,  not  of  con- 
straint, but  willingly,  '"according  unto  God;  nor  yet 

3 for  filthy  lucre,  but  of  a  ready  mind;  neither  as 
lording  it  over  the  charge  allotted  to  you,  but  mak- 

4ing  yourselves  ensamples  to  the  flock.  And  when 
the  chief  Shepherd  shall  be  manifested,  ye  shall 
receive  the  crown  of  glory  that  fadeth   not  away.  ^^^

O  Christ,  to  them  that  have  obtained  "like  precious  faith

Jesus  Christ : 

2  'Grace  and  peace  be  multiplied  unto  you  through  the 
knowledge  of  God,  and  of  Jesus  our  Lord, 

3  According  as  his  divine  power  hath  given  unto  us  all 
things  that  pertain  unto  life  and  godliness,  "through  the 
knowledge  of  him  ''that  hath  called  us  ||  to  glory  and  virtue: 

4  'Whereby  are  given  unto  us  exceeding  great  and  pre- 
cious promises ;  that  by  these  ye  might  be  -^partakers  of  the 
divine  nature,  "having  escaped  the  corruption  that  is  in  the 
world  through  lust. 

5  And  besides  this,  *giving  all  diligence,  add  to  your 
faith,  virtue;  and  to  virtue,  'knowledge; 

6  And  to  knowledge,  temperance ;  and  to  temperance, 
patience;  and  to  patience,  godliness; 

7  And  to  godliness,  brotherly  kindness;  and  *to  brotherly 
kindness,  charity. 

8  For  if  these  things  be  in  you,  and  abound,  they  make 
you  that  ye  shall  neither  be  fbarren  'nor  unfruitful  in  the 
knowledge  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

9  But  he  that  lacketh  these  things  "'is  blind,  and  cannot  see 
afar  off,and  hath  forgotten  that  he  was"purged  from  his  old  sins. 

10  Wherefore  the  rather,  brethren,  give  diligence  °to 
make  your  calling  and  election  sure:  for  if  ye  do  these 
things,  "ye  shall  never  fall : 

11  For  so  an  entrance  shall  be  ministered  unto  you  abun- 
dantly into  the  everlasting  kingdom  of  our  Lord  and 
Saviour  Jesus  Christ. 

12  Wherefore  "I  will  not  be  negligent  to  put  you  always 
in  remembrance  of  these  things,  ''though  ye  know  them, 
and  be  established  in  the  present  truth. 

13  Yea,  I  think  it  meet,  as  'long  as  I  am  in  this  taber- 
nacle, 'to  stir  you  up  by  putting  you  in  remembrance ; 

14  "Knowing  that  shortly  I  must  put  off  this  my  taber-

for  this  very  cause  adding  on  your  part  all  diligence, 
in   your    faith   supply   virtue ;   and    in    your   virtue 

6  knowledge;  and  in  your  knowledge  'temperance; 
and  in  your  ''temperance  patience ;  and  in  your  pa- 

7  tience  godliness;  and  in  your  godliness  love  of  the 
brethren ;    and  in    your  love  of  the  brethren  love. 

8  For  if  these  things  are  yours  and  abound,  they  make 
you  to  be  not  idle  nor  unfruitful  unto  the  knowledge 

9  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  For  he  that  lacketh 
these  things  is  blind,  'seeing  only  what  is  neaf,  hav- 

10  ing  forgotten  the  cleansing  from  his  old  sins.    Where 
fore,  brethren,  give  the  more  diligence  to  make  your 
calling  and  election  sure:  for  if  ye  do  these  things, 

11  ye  shall  never  stumble:  for  thus  shall  be  richly 
supplied  unto  you  the  entrance  into  the  eternal 
kingdom  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ. 

1 2  Wherefore  I  shall  be  ready  always  to  put  you  in  re- 
membrance of  these  things,  though  ye  know  them,  and 

13  are  established  in  the  truth  which  is  with  you.  And  I 
think  it  right,  as  long  as  I  am  in  this  tabernacle,  to 

14  stir  you  up  by  putting  you  in  remembrance ;  knowing 
that  the  putting  off  of  my  tabernacle  cometh  swiftly, 
even  as  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  signified  unto  me.

15  Moreover  I  will  endeavour  that  ye  may  be  able  after 
my  decease  to  have  these  things  always  in  remembrance. 

16  For  we  have  not  followed  "cunningly  devised  fables, 
when  we  made  known  unto  you  the  power  and  coming  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  but  'were  eyewitnesses  of  his  ma- 
jesty. 

17  For  he  received  from  God  the  Father  honour  and  glory, 
when  there  came  such  a  voice  to  him  from  the  excellent 
glory,  "This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased. 

18  And  this  voice  which  came  fivin  heaven  we  heard, 
when  we  were  with  him  in  'the  hcly  mount. 

19  We  have  also  a  more  sure  word  of  prophecy;  where- 
unto  ye  do  well  that  ye  take  heed,  as  unto  'a  light  that 
shineth  in  a  dark  place,  until  the  day  dawn,  and  ''the  day- 
star  arise  in  your  hearts: 

20  Knowing  this  first,  that  'no  prophecy  of  the  Scripture 
is  of  any  private  interpretation. 

21  For  Ahe  prophecy  came  not  ||in  old  time  by  the  will 
of  man :  "but  holy  men  of  God  spake  as  they  were  moved  by 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

CHAPTER    II. 

False  teachers  foretotd. 

BUT  "there  were  false  prophets  also  among  the  people, 
even  as  'there  shall  be  false  teachers  among  you,  who 
privily  shall  bring  in  damnable  heresies,  even  "denying  the 
Lord  ''that  bought  them,  'and  bring  upon  themselves  swift 
destruction. 

2  And  many  shall  follow  their  ||  pernicious  ways;  by  rea- 
son of  whom  the  way  of  truth  shall  be  evil  spoken  of. 

3  And  ^through  covetousness  shall  they  with  feigned  words 
"make  merchandise  of  you:  ''who.se  judgment  now  of  a  long 
time  lingereth  not,  and  their  damnation  slumbereth  not. 

4  For  if  God  spared  not  'the  angels  *that  sinned,  but  'cast 
them  down  to  hell,  and  delivered  them  into  chains  of  dark- 
ness, to  be  reserved  unto  judgment; 

5  And  spared  not  the  old  world,  but  saved  ""No'ah  the 
eighth  person,  "a  preacher  of  righteousness,  "bringing  in 
the  flood  upon  the  world  of  the  ungodly ; 

6  And  "turning  the  cities  of  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rha  into 
ashes  condemned  them  with  an  overthrow,  ''making  them 
an  ensample  unto  those  that  after  should  live  ungodly ; 

7  And  ''delivered  just  Lot,  vexed  with  the  filthy  conversa- 
tion of  the  wicked : 

8  (For  that  righteous  man  dwelling  among  them,  'in  see- 
ing and  hearing,  vexed  his  righteous  soul  from  day  to  day 
with  their  unlawful  deeds;) 

9  "The  Lord  kuoweth  how  to  deliver  the  godly  out  of 
temptations,  and  to  reserve  the  unjust  unto  the  day  of  judg- 
ment to  be  punished: 

10  But  chiefly  'them  that  walk  after  the  flesh  in  the  lust  of 
uncleanness,  and  despise  |i  government.  "Presumptuous  are 
they,  selfwilied,  they  are  not  afraid  to  speak  evil  of  dignities. 

11  Whereas  'angels,  which  are  greater  in  power  and  might, 
bring  not  railing  accusation  || against  them  before  the  Lord. 

12  But  these,  "as  natural  brute  beasts  made  to  be  taken 
and  destroyed,  speak  evil  of  the  things  that  they  understand 
not;  and  shall  utterly  peri.sh  in  their  own  corruption; 

13  ""And  shall  receive  the  reward  of  unrighteousness,  as 
they  that  count  it  pleasure  ''to  riot  in  the  daytime.  ''Spots 
they  are  and  blemishes,  sporting  themselves  with  their  own 
deceivings  while  'they  feast  with  you ; 

14  Having  eyes  full  of  fadultery,  and  that  cannot  cease 
from  sin;  beguiling  unstable  souls;  ■'a  heart  they  have  ex- 
ercised with  covetous  practices;  cursed  children: 

15  Which  have  forsaken  the  right  way,  and  are  gone  astray, 
following  the  way  of  "Ba'laam  the  son  of  Bo'sor,  who  loved 
the  wages  of  unrighteousness ; 

16  But  was  rebuked  for  his  iniquity:  the  dumb  ass  speak- 
ing with  man's  voice  forbade  the  madness  of  the  prophet: 


15  Yea,  I  will  give  diligence  that  at  every  time  ye 
may  be  able  after  my  'decease  to  call  these  things 

16  to  remembrance.  For  we  did  not  follow  cun- 
ningly devised  fables,  when  we  made  known  unto 
you  the  power  and  ^coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  but  we   were   eyewitnesses   of  his   majesty. 

17  For  he  ^received  from  God  the  Father  honour  and 
glory,  when  there  *came  such  a  voice  to  him  from 
the    excellent   glory.    This   is    my   beloved  Son,  in 

18 whom  I  am  well  pleased:  and  this  voice  we  our- 
selves heard   'come    out    of  heaven,  when  we  were 

19  with  him  in  tiie  holy  mount.  And  we  have  the 
word  of  prophecy  made  more  sure;  whereunto  ye 
do  well  that  ye  take  heed,  as  unto  a  lamp  shining 
in  a  ^dark  place,  until  the  day  dawn,  and  the  day- 

20  star  arise  in  your  hearts  :  knowing  this  first,  that  no 
prophecy  of  scripture  is  of  'private   interpretation. 

21  For  no  prophecy  ever  *came  by  the  will  of  man : 
but  men  spake  from  God,  being  moved  by  the'Holy 
Ghost. 

^  But  there  arose  felse  prophets  also  among  the 
people,  as  among  you  also  there  shall  be  false  teach- 
ers, who  shall  privily  bring  in  '"destructive  heresies, 
denying  even  the  Master  that  bought  them,  bringing 

2  upon  themselves  swift  destruction.  And  many 
shall  follow  their  lascivious  doings;  by  reason  of 
whom  the  way  of  the  truth  shall  be  evil  spoken  of. 

3  And  in  covetousness  shall  they  with  feigned  words 
make  merchandise  of  you :  whose  sentence  now 
from  of  old  lingereth  not,    and    their  destruction 

4  slumbereth  not.  For  if  God  spared  not  angels  when 
they  sinned,  but  "cast  them  down  to  "'hell,  and  com- 
mitted them  to   '"pits   of  darkness,  to   be  reserved 

5  unto  judgement;  and  spared  not  the  ancient  world, 
but  preserved  No'ah  with  seven  others,  '*a  preacher 
of  righteousness,  when  he  brought  a  flood  upon  the 

6  world  of  the  ungodly ;  and  turning  the  cities  of 
Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah  into  ashes  condemned  them 
with  an  overthrow,  having  made  them  an  example 

7 unto  those  that  should  live  ungodly;  and  delivered 
righteous  Lot,  sore  distressed  by  the  lascivious  life 

8  of  the  wicked  (for  that  righteous  man  dwelling 
among  them,  in  seeing  and  hearing,  "vexed  his 
righteous  soul  from  day  to  day    with    their  lawless 

9  deeds) :  the  Lord  knoweth  how  to  deliver  the  godly 
out  of  temptation,  and  to  keep  the  unrighteous  under 

lOpunishment  unto  the  day  of  judgement;  but  chiefly 
them  that  walk  after  the  flesh  in  the  lust  of  defile- 
ment,   and   despise   dominion.      Daring,   selfwilied, 

1 1  they  tremble  not  to  rail  at  '^dignities :  whereas 
angels,  though  greater  in  might  and  power,  bring 
not  a  railing  judgement  against   them    before    the 

12  Lord.  But  these,  as  creatures  without  reason,  born 
''mere  animals  "to  be  taken  and  destroyed,  railing 
in  matters  whereof  they  are  ignorant,  shall  in   their 

13  "destroying  surely  be  destroyed,  suffering  wrong  as 
the  hire  of  wrong-doing;  men  that  count  it  pleasure 
to  revel  in  the  day-time,  spots  and  blemishes,  re- 
velling in  their  '"love-fea.sts  while  they   feast  with 

14 you;  having  eyes  full  of  ^'adultery,  and  that  cannot 
cease  from  sin ;  enticing  unstedfast  souls ;  having  a 
heart  exercised  in  covetousness;  children  of  cursing; 

15  forsaking  the  right  way,  they  went  astray,  having 
followed  the  way  of  Ba'laam  the  son  of  "Be'or,  who 

16  loved  the  hire  of  wrong-doing ;  but  he  was  rebuked 
for  his  own  transgression  :  a  dumb  ass  spake  with 
man's  voice  and  stayed  the  madness  af  the  prophet.

17  *These  are  wells  .without  water,  clouds  that  are  carried 
with  a  tempest;  to  whom  the  mist  of  darkness  is  reserved 
for  ever. 

18  For  when  'they  speak  great  swelling  words  of  vanity, 
they  allure  through  the  lusts  of  the  flesh,  through  much 
wantonness,  those  that  'were  ||  clean  escaped  from  them  who 
live  in  error. 

19  While  they  promise  them  'liberty,  they  themselves  are 
""the  servants  of  corruption  :  for  of  whom  a  man  is  overcome, 
of  the  same  is  he  brought  in  bondage. 

20  For  "if  after  they  "have  escaped  the  pollutions  of  the 
world  ''through  the  knowledge  of  the  Lord  and  Saviour 
Jesus  Christ,  they  are  again  entangled  therein,  and  over- 
come, the  latter  end  is  worse  with  them  than  the  beginning. 

21  For  'it  had  been  better  for  them  not  to  have  known 
the  way  of  righteousness,  than,  after  they  have  known  it,  to 
turn  from  the  holy  commandment  delivered  unto  them. 

22  But  it  is  happened  unto  them  according  to  the  true 
proverb,  ""The  dog  is  turned  to  his  own  vomit  again ;  and. 
The  BOW  that  was  washed  to  her  wallowing  in  the  mire. 

CHAPTER  III. 

Coming  0/  the  last  day. 

THIS  second  epistle,  beloved,  I  now  write  unto  you;  in 
both  which  "I  stir  up  your  pure  minds  by  way  of  re- 
membrance : 

2  That  ye  may  be  mindful  of  the  words  which  were  spoken 
before  by  the  holy  prophets,  'and  of  the  commandment  of 
us  the  apostles  of  the  Lord  and  Saviour : 

3  "Knowing  this  first,  that  there  shall  come  in  the  last  days 
scoffers,  ''walking  after  their  own  lusts, 

4  And  saying,  'Where  is  the  promise  of  his  coming?  for 
since  the  fathers  fell  asleep,  all  things  continue  as  they  were 
from  the  beginning  of  the  creation. 

5  For  this  they  willingly  are  ignorant  of,  that  -^by  the 
word  of  God  the  heavens  were  of  old,  and  the  earth  fstand- 
ing  out  of  the  water  and  in  the  water : 

6  *Whereby  the  world  that  then  was,  being  overflowed 
with  water,  perished : 

7  But  *the  heavens  and  the  earth,  which  are  now,  by  the 
same  word  are  kept  in  store,  reserved  unto  *fire  against  the 
day  of  judgment  and  perdition  of  ungodly  men. 

8  But,  beloved,  be  not  ignorant  of  this  one  thing,  that  one 
day  is  with  the  Lord  as  a  thousand  years,  and  'a  thousand 
years  as  one  day. 

9  "The  Lonl  is  not  slack  concerning  his  promise,  as  some 
men  count  slackness;  but  "is  longsuffering  to  us-ward,  "not 
willing  vhat  a  ay  should  perish,  but  "that  all  should  come  to 
repentance. 

10  But  'the  day  of  the  Lord  will  come  as  a  thief  in  the 
night;  in  the;  which  ''the  heavens  shall  pass  away  with  a 
great  noise,  and  the  elements  shall  melt  with  fervent  heat, 
the  earth  also  and  the  works  that  are  therein  shall  be 
burned  up. 

11  Seeing  then  that  all  these  things  shall  be  dissolved, 
what  manner  of  persons  ought  ye  to  be  'in  all  holy  conver- 
sation and  godliness, 

12  'Looking  for  and  |1  hasting  unto  the  coming  of  the  day 
of  God,  wherein  the  heavens  being  on  fire  shall  "be  dis- 
solved, and  the  elements  shall  'melt  with  fervent  heat? 

13  Nevertheless  we,  according  to  his  promise,  look  for 
"new  heavens  and  a  new  earth,  wherein  dwelleth  righteous- 
ness. 

14  Wherefore,  beloved,  seeing  that  ye  look  for  such  things, 
be  diligent  'that  ye  may  be  found  of  him  in  peace,  without 
spot,  and  blameless. 

15  And  account  that  "the  long.suffering  of  our  Lord  is 
salvation ;  even  as  our  beloved  brother  Paul  also  according 
to  the  wisdom  given  unto  him  hath  written  unto  you ; 


17  These  are  springs  without  water,  and  mists  driven 
by  a  storm;   for  whom  the  blackness  of  darkness 

18  bath  been  reserved.  For,  uttering  great  swelling 
words  of  vanity,  they  entice  in  the  lusts  of  the  flesh, 
by  lasciviousness,  those  who  are  just  escaping  from 

19  them  that  live  in  error  ;  promising  them  liberty,  while 
they  themselves  are  bondservants  of  corruption; 
for  of  'whom  a  man  is  overcome,  of  the  same  is  he 

20 also  brought  into  bondage.  For  if,  after  they  have 
escaped  the  defilements  of  the  world  through  the 
knowledge  of  Hhe  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ, 
they  are  again  entangled  therein  and  overcome,  the 
last  state  is  become  worse  with  them  than  the  first. 

21  For  it  were  better  for  them  not  to  have  known  the 
way  of  righteousness,  than,  after  knowing  it,  to  turn 
back   from   the  holy  commandment  delivered  unto 

22  them.  It  has  happened  unto  them  according  to 
the  true  proverb,  The  dog  turning  to  his  own  vomit 
again,  and  the  sow  that  had  washed  to  wallowing  in 
the  mire. 

V  This  is  now,  beloved,  the  second  epistle  that  I 
write  unto  you ;  and  in  both  of  them  I  stir  up  your 

2 sincere  mind  by  putting  you  in  remembrance;  that 
ye  should  remember  the  words  which  were  spoken 
before  by  the  holy  prophets,  and  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  and  Saviour   through  your  apostles: 

3  knowing  this  first,  that  Mn  the  last  days  mockers 
shall  come  with  mockery,  walking  after  their  own 

4  lusts,  and  saying,  Where  is  the  promise  of  his  ^com- 
ing? for,  from  the  day  that  the  fathers  fell  asleep, 
all  things  continue  as  they  were  from  the  beginning 

5  of  the  creation.  For  this  they  wilfully  forget,  that 
there  were  heavens  from  of  old,  and  an  earth  com- 
pacted out  of  water  and  'amidst  water,  by  the  word 

6  of  God ;  by  which  means  the  world  that  then  was, 
7 being   overflowed    with   water,   perished:   but    the 

heavens  that  now  are,  and  the  earth,  by  the  same 
word  have  been  'stored  up  for  fire,  being  reserved 
against  the  day  of  judgement  an.d  destruction  of  un- 
godly men. 

8  But  forget  not  this  one  thing,  beloved,  that  one 
day  is  with  the   Lord  as  a  thousand  years,  and  a 

9  thousand  years  as  one  day.  The  Lord  is  not  slack 
concerning  his  promise,  as  some  count  slackness; 
but  is  longsuffering  to  you-ward,  not  wishing  that 
any  should  perish,  but  that  all  should  come  to  re- 

lOpentance.  But  the  day  of  the  Lord  will  come  as  a 
thief;  in  the  which  the  heavens  shall  pass  away  with 
a  great  noise,  and  the  'elements  shall  be  dissolved 
with  fervent  heat,  and  the  earth  and  the  works  that 

Hare  therein  shall  be  'burned  up.  Seeing  that  these 
things  are  thus  all  to  be  dissolved,  what  manner  of 
persons  ought  ye  to  be  in  aU  holy  living  and  godli- 

12ness,  looking  for  and  'earnestly  desiring  the  ^coming 
of  the  day  of  God,  by  reason  of  which  the  heavens 
being  on  fire  shall  be  dissolved,  and  the  'elements 

13shall  melt  with  fervent  heat?  But,  according  to  his 
promise,  we  look  for  new  heavens  and  a  new  earth, 
wherein  dwelleth  righteousness. 

14  Wherefore,  beloved,  seeing  that  ye  look  for  these 
things,  give  diligence  that  ye  may  be  found  in  peace, 

15  without  spot  and  blameless  in  his  sight.  And  ac- 
count that  the  longsuffering  of  our  Lord  is  salva- 
tion ;  even  as  our  beloved  brother  Paul  also,  accord- 
ing to  the  wisdom  given  to  him,  wrote  unto  you;

JOHN. 


CHAPTER    I. 

The  Word  of  Life. 

THAT  "which  was  from  the  beginning,  which  we  have 
heard,  which  we  have  seen  with  our  eyes,  'which  we 
have  looked  upon,  and  "our  hands  have  handled,  of  the 
Word  of  life ; 

2  (For  ""the  life  'was  manifested,  and  we  have  seen  it,  •'and 
bear  witness,  "and  shew  unto  you  that  eternal  life,  *which 
was  with  the  Father,  and  was  manifested  unto  us ;) 

3  'That  which  we  have  seen  and  heard  declare  we  unto  you, 
that  ye  also  may  have  fellowship  with  us :  and  truly  *our 
fellowship  is  with  the  Father,  and  with  his  Son  Jesus  Christ. 

4  And  these  things  write  we  UEto  you,  'that  your  joy  may 
be  full. 

5  ""This  then  is  the  message  which  we  have  heard  of  him, 
and  declare  unto  you,  that  "God  is  light,  and  in  him  is  no 
darkness  at  all. 

6  °If  we  say  that  we  have  fellowship  with  him,  and  walk 
in  darkness,  we  lie,  and  do  not  the  truth : 

7  But  if  we  walk  in  the  light,  as  he  is  in  the  light,  we  have 
fellowship  one  with  another,  and  "the  blood  of  Jesus  Christ 
his  Son  cleanseth  us  from  all  sin. 

8  'If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  ourselves, 
'and  the  truth  is  not  in  us. 

9  "If  we  confess  our  sins,  he  is  faithful  and  just  to  forgive 
us  our  sins,  and  to  'cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteousness. 

10  li  we  say  that  we  have  not  sinned,  we  make  him  a  liar, 
and  his  word  is  not  in  us. 

CHAPTER    II. 

Christ  our  advocate.. 

MY  little  children,  these  things  write  I  unto  you,  that 
ye  sin  not.     And  if  any  man  sin,  "we  have  an  advocate 
with  the  Father,  Jesus  Christ  the  righteous ; 

2  And  'he  is  the  propitiation  for  our  sins :  and  not  for  ours 
only,  but  "also  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world. 

3  And  hereby  we  do  know  that  we  know  him,  if  we  keep 
his  commandments. 

4  ''He  that  saith,  I  know  him,  and  keepeth  not  his  com- 
mandments, 'is  a  liar,  and  the  truth  is  not  in  him. 

5  But  Avhoso  keepeth  his  word,  "in  him  verily  is  the  love 
of  God  perfected :  ''hereby  know  we  that  we  are  in  him. 

6  'He  that  saith  he  abideth  in  him  'ought  himself  also  so 
to  walk,  even  as  he  walked. 

7  Brethren,  'I  write  no  new  commandment  unto  you,  but 
an  old  commandment  "which  ye  had  from  the  beginning. 
The  old  commandment  is  the  Avord  which  ye  have  heard 
from  the  beginning. 

8  Again,  "a  new  commandment  I  write  unto  you,  which 
thing  is  true  in  him  and  in  you :  "because  the  darkness  is 
past,  and  "the  true  light  now  shineth. 


THE  FIRST  EPISTLE  GENERAL  OF 


JOHN. 


4-  That  which  was  from  the  beginning,  that  which 
we  have  heard,  that  which  we  have  seen  with  our 
eyes,  that  which  we  beheld,  and  our  hands  handled, 

2  concerning  the  'Word  of  life  (and  the  life  was  mani- 
fested, and  we  have  seen,  and  bear  witness,  and  de- 
clare unto  you  the  life,  the  eternal  life,  which  was 

3 with  the  Father,  and  was  manifested  unto  us);  that 
which  we  have  seen  and  heard  declare  we  unto  you 
also,  that  ye  also  may  have  fellowship  with  us :  yea, 
and  our  fellowship  is  with  the  Father,  and  with  his 

4 Son  Jesus  Christ:  and  these  things  we  write,  that 
''our  joy  may  be  fulfilled. 

5  And  this  is  the  message  which  we  have  heard 
from  him,  and  announce  unto  you,  that  God  is  light, 

6  and  in  him  is  no  darkness  at  all.  If  we  say  that  we 
have  fellowship  with  him,  and  walk  in  the  darkness, 

7  we  lie,  and  do  not  the  truth :  but  if  we  walk  in  the 
light,  as  he  is  in  the  light,  we  have  fellowship  one 
with  another,  and  the  blood  of  Jesus  his  son  cleans- 

8  eth  us  from  all  sin.     If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin, 

9  we  deceive  ourselves,  and  the  truth  is  not  in  us.  If 
we  confess  our  sins,  he  is  faithful  and  righteous  to 
forgive   us   our  sins,  and   to   cleanse   us   from  all 

10  unrighteousness.     If  we  say  that  we  have  not  sinned, 
we  make  him  a  liar,  and  his  word  is  not  in  us. 

^  My  little  children,  these  things  write  I  unto  you, 
that  ye  may  not  sin.  And  if  any  man  sin,  we  have 
an  'Advocate    with   the   Father,  Jesus   Christ  the 

2 righteous:  and  he  is  the  propitiation  for  our  sins; 
and  not  for  ours  only,  but  also  for  the  whole  world. 

3  And  hereby  know  we  that  we  know  him,  if  we  keep 

4  his  commandments.  He  that  saith,  I  know  him, 
and  keepeth  not  his  commandments,  is  a  liar,  and 

5 the  truth  is  not  in  him:  but  whoso  keepeth  his 
word,  in  him  verily  hath  the  love  of  God  been  per- 

6  fected.  Hereby  know  we  that  we  are  in  him :  he 
that  saith  he  abideth  in  him  ought  himself  also  to 
walk  even  as  he  walked. 

7  Beloved,  no  new  commandment  write  I  unto 
you,  but  an  old  commandment  which  ye  had 
from    the   beginning:    the    old    commandment    is 

8  the  word  which  ye  heard.  Again,  a  new  com- 
mandment write  I  unto  you,  which  thing  is  true 
in  him  and  in  you;  because  the  darkness  is  pass- 
ing   away,    and    the    true    light  already    shineth.

12  I  write  unto  you,  my  little  children,  because  your 

13  sins  are  forgiven  you  for  his  name's  sake.  I  write 
unto  you,  fathers,  because  ye  know  him  which  is 
from  the  beginning.  I  write  unto  you,  young  men, 
because  ye  have  overcome  the  evil  one.  'I  have 
written  unto  you,  little  children,  because  ye  know 

14  the  Father.     'I  have  written  unto  you,  fathers,  be 
cause  ye  know  him  which  is  from  the  beginning.     'I 
have  written  unto  you,  young  men,  because  ye  are 
strong,  and  the  word  of  God  abideth  in  you,  and  ye 

15  have  overcome  the  evil  one.  Love  not  the  world, 
neither  the  things  that  are  in  the  world.  If  any  man 
love  the  world,  the  love  of  the  Father  is  not  in  him. 

16  For  all  that  is  in  the  world,  the  lust  of  the  flesh,  and 
the  lust  of  the  eyes,  and  the  vainglory  of  life,  is  not 

17  of  the  Father,  but  is  of  the  world.  And  the  world 
passeth  away,  and  the  lust  thereof:  but  he  that  doeth 
the  will  of  God  abideth  for  ever. 

18  Little  children,  it  is  the  last  hour:  and  as  ye  heard 
that  antichrist  cometh,  even  now  have  there  arisen 
many  antichrists;  whereby  we  know  that  it  is  the 

19  last  hour.  They  went  out  from  us,  but  they  were 
not  of  us ;  for  if  they  had  been  of  us,  they  would 
have  continued  with  us :  but  they  went  out,  that  they 
might  be  made  manifest  ^how  that  they  all  are  not 

20  of  us.     And  ye  have  an  anointing  from  the  Holy 

21  One,  ^and  ye  know  all  things.  I  have  not  written 
unto  you  because  ye  know  not  the  truth,  but  because 

22  ye  know  it,  and  ^because  no  lie  is  of  the  truth.  Who 
is  the  liar  but  he  that  denieth  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ? 
This  is  the  antichrist,  even  he  that  denieth  the  Father 

23  and  the  Son.  Whosoever  denieth  the  Son,  the  same 
hath  not  the  Father :  he  that  confesseth  the  Son  hath 

24  the  Father  also.  As  for  you,  let  that  abide  in  you 
which  ye  heard  from  the  beginning.  If  that  which 
ye  heard  from  the  beginning  abide  in  you,  ye  also 

25  shall  abide  in  the  Son,  and  in  the  Father.  And  this 
is  the  promise  which  he  promised  'us,  even  the  life 

26  eternal.     These  things  have  I  written  unto  you  con 

27  cerning  them  that  would  lead  you  astray.  And  as 
for  you,  the  anointing  which  ye  received  of  him 
abideth  in  you,  and  ye  need  not  that  any  one  teach 
you;  but  as  hie  anointing  teacheth  you  concerning 
all  things,  'and  is  true,  and  is  no  lie,  and  even  as  it 

28  taught  you,  'ye  abide  ia  him.  And  now,  my  little 
children,  abide  in  him ;  that,  if  he  shall  be  manifested, 
we  inay  have  boldness,  and  not  be  ashamed  ^before 

29  him  at  his  ^coming.  If  ye  know  that  he  is  right- 
eous, '°ye  know  that  every  one  also  that  doeth  right- 
eousness is  begotten  of  him. 

V  Behold  what  manner  of  love  the  Father  hatli 
bestowed  upon  us,  that  we  should  be  called  children 
of  God  :  and  such  we  are.  For  this  cause  the  world 
2  knoweth  us  not,  because  it  knew  him  not.  Beloved, 
now  are  we  children  of  God,  and  it  is  not  yet  made 
manifest  what  we  shall  be.     We  know  that,  if  "he  "Or,  a

3  'And  every  man  that  hath  this  hope  in  him  purifieth  him-

4  Whosoever  committeth  sin  transgresseth  also  the  law; 
for  *sin  is  the  transgression  of  the  law ; 

5  And  ye  know  'that  he  was  manifested  Ho  take  away  our 
sins ;  and  'in  him  is  no  sin. 

6  Whosoever  abideth  in  him  sinneth  not:  "'whosoever  sin-

7  Little  children,  "let  no  man  deceive  you :  "he  that  doeth 
righteousness  is  righteous,  even  as  he  is  righteous. 

8  "He  that  committeth  sin  is  of  the  devil ;  for  the  devil  sin- 
neth from  the  beginning.  For  this  purpose  the  Son  of 
God  was  manifested,  'that  he  might  destroy  the  works  of  the 
devil. 

9  ''Whosoever  is  born  of  God  doth  not  commit  sin ;  for 
'his  seed  remaineth  in  him:  and  he  cannot  sin,  because  he 
is  born  of  God. 

10  In  this  the  children  of  God  are  manifest,  and  the  chil 
dren  of  the  devil:    'whosoever  doeth  not  righteousness  is 
not  of  God,  "neither  he  that  loveth  not  his  brother. 

11  For  "'this  is  the  ||  message  that  ye  heard  from  the  be 
ginning,  "that  we  should  love  one  another. 

12  Not  as  'Cain,  who  was  of  that  wicked  one,  and  slew 
his  brother.  And  wherefore  slew  he  him?  Because  his 
own  works  were  evil,  and  his  brother's  righteous. 

13  Marvel  not,  my  brethren,  if  "the  world  hate  you. 

14  ""We  know  that  we  have  passed  from  death  unto  life, 
because  we  love  the  brethren.  ''He  that  loveth  not  his 
brother  abideth  in  death. 

15  ''Whosoever  hateth  his  brother  is  a  murderer:  and  ye 
know  that  'no  murderer  hath  eternal  life  abiding  in  him. 

16  ■''Hereby  perceive  we  the  love  of  God,  because  he  laid 
down  his  life  &r  us:  anr?  we  ought  to  lay  down  our  lives 
for  the  brethren. 

17  'But  whoso  hath  this  world's  good,  and  seeth  his 
brother  have  need,  and  shutteth  up  his  bowels  of  compas- 
sion from  him,  *how  dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  him  ? 

18  My  little  children,  'let  us  not  Jove  in  word,  neither  in 
tongue ;  but  in  deed  and  in  t'uth. 

19  And  hereby  we  know  *that  we  are  of  the  truth,  and 
shall  fassure  our  hearts  before  him. 

20  'For  if  our  heart  condemn  us,  God  is  greater  than  our 
heart,  and  knoweth  all  things. 

21  ""Beloved,  if  our  heart  condemn  ils  not,  Hhen  have  we 
confidence  toward  God. 

22  And  "whatsoever  we  ask,  we  receive  of  him,  because 
we  keep  his  commandments,  "and  do  those  things  that  are 
pleasing  in  his  sight. 

23  'And  this  is  his  commandment.  That  we  should  be- 
lieve on  the  name  of  his  Son  Jesus  Christ,  ""and  love  one 
another,  'as  he  gave  us  commandment. 

24  And  'he  that  keepeth  his  commandments  "dwelleth  in 
him,  and  he  in  him.  And  "'hereby  we  know  that  heabideth 
in  us,  by  the  Spirit  which  he  hath  given  us. 

CHAPTER    IV. 

Ag^ainst  believing  all  teachers. 

BELOVED,  "believe  not  every  spirit,  but  'try  the  spirits 
whether  they  are  of  God  :  because  "many  false  prophets 
are  gone  out  into  the  world. 

2  Hereby  know  ye  the  Spirit  of  God :  ''Every  spirit  that 
confesseth  that  Jesus  Christ  is  come  in  the  flesh  is  of  God: 

3  And  'every  spirit  that  confesseth  not  that  Jesus  Christ  is 
come  in  the  flesh,  is  not  of  God :  and  this  is  that  spirit  of 
antichrist,  whereof  ye  hav^e  heard  that  it  should  come ;  and 
■'even  now  already  is  it  in  the  world. 

4  'Ye  are  of  God,  little  children,  and  have  overcome  them:  be- 
cause greater  is  he  that  is  in  you,  than  'he  that  is  in  the  world.

shall  be  manifested,  we  shall  be  like  him ;  for  we  shall 
3  see  him  even  as  he  is.     And  every  one  that  hath  this 

hope  set  on  him  purifieth  himself,  even  as  he  is  pure. 
4 Every  one  that  doeth  sin   doeth    also    lawlessness: 

5  and  sin  is  lawlessness.  And  ye  know  that  he  was 
manifested  to  'take  away  sins;  and  in  him  is  no  sin. 

6  Whosoever  abideth  in  him  sinneth  not:  whosoever 
sinneth  hath  not  seen  him,  neither  ^knoweth   him. 

1  My  little  children,  let  no  man  lead  you  astray:  he 
that  doeth  righteousness  is  righteous,  even  as  he  is 

8  righteous :  he  that  doeth  sin  is  of  the  devil ;  for  the 
devil  sinneth  from  the  beginning.  To  this  end  was 
the  Son  of  God  manifested,  that  he  might  destroy 

9  the  works  of  the  devil.  Whosoever  is  begotten  of 
God  doeth  no  sin,  because  his  seed  abideth  in  him : 
and  he  cannot  sin,  because  he  is  begotten  of  God. 

10  In  this  the  children  of  God  are  manifest,  and  the 
children  of  the  devil:  whosoever  doeth  not  right- 
eousness is  not  of  God,  neither  he  that  loveth  not  his 

11  brother.  For  this  is  the  message  which  ye  heard 
from  the  beginning,  that  we  should  love  one  another : 

12  not  as  Cain  was  of  the  evil  one,  and  slew  his  brother. 
And  wherefore  slew  he  him?  Because  his  works 
were  evil,  and  his  brother's  righteous. 

13  Marvel  not,  brethren,  if  the  world  hateth  you 

14  We  know  that  we  have  passed  out  of  d^ath  into  life, 
because  we  love  the  brethren.     He  that  loveth  not 

15  abideth  in  death.  Whosoever  hateth  his  brother  is 
a  murderer:  and  ye  know  that  no   murderer   hath 

16  eternal  life  abiding  in  him.  Hereby  know  we  love, 
because  he  laid  down  his  life  for  us:  and  we  ought 

17  to  lay  down  our  lives  for  the  brethren.  But  whoso 
hath  the  world's  goods,  and  beholdeth  his  brother 
in  need,   and  shutteth  up  his  compassion  from  him, 

18 how  doth  the  love  of  God  abide  in  him?  My  little 
children,  let  us  not  love  in  word,  neither  with  the 

19 tongue;  but  in  deed  and  trutn.  Hereby  shall  we 
know  that  we  are  of  the  truth,  a.3d  shall  'assure  our 

20  heart  before  him,  whereinsoever  our  heart  condemn 
us;    because  God  is  greater  than    our  heart,   and 

21  knoweth  all  things.     Beloved,  if  oui  heart  condemn 
22 us  not,  we  have  boldness  toward  God,  and  whatso- 
ever we  ask,  we  receive  of  him,  because  we  keep  his 
commandments,  and  do  the  things  that  are  pleasing 

23  in  his  sight.  And  this  is  his  commandment,  that  we 
should  ^believe  in  the  name  of  his  Son  Jesus  Christ, 
and  love  one  another,  even  as  he  gave  us  command-  ti^namt. 

24ment.  And  he  that  keej)eth  his  commandments 
abideth  in  him,  and  he  in  him.  And  hereby  we 
know  that  he  abideth  in  us,  by  the  Spirit  which  he 
gave  us. 

^  Beloved,  believe  not  every  spirit,  but  prove  the 
spirits,  whether  they  are  of  God:    because    many 

2  false  prophets  are  gone  out  into  the  world.  Hereby 
know  ye  the  Spirit  of  God :  every  spirit  which  con- 
fesseth that  Jesus  Christ  is  come  in  the  flesh  is  of 

3 God:  and  every  spirit  which  'confesseth  not  Jesus 
is  not  of  God :  and  this  is  the  spirit  of  the  antichrist, 
whereof  ye  have  heard  that  it  cometh;  and  now  it 

4  is  in  the  world  already.  Ye  are  of  God,  my  little 
children,  and  have  overcome  them :  because  greater 
is  he  that  is  in  you  than  he  that  is  in  the  world.]

world,  aud  Hhe  world  heareth  them. 

6  We  are  of  God :  'he  that  kuoweth  God,  heareth  us ;  he 
that  is  not  of  God  heareth  not  us.  Hereby  know  we  "the 
spirit  of  truth,  and  the  spirit  of  error. 

7  "Beloved,  let  us  love  one  another :  for  love  is  of  God ; 
and  every  one  that  loveth  is  born  of  God,  and  knoweth 
God. 

8  He  that  loveth  not,  "knoweth  not  God ;  for  "God  is  love. 

9  «In  this  was  manifested  the  love  of  God  toward  us,  be- 
cause that  God  sent  his  only  begotten  Son  into  the  world, 
""that  we  might  live  through  him. 

10  Herein  is  love,  'not  that  we  loved  God,  but  that  he 
loved  us,  and  sent  his  Son  Ho  be  the  propitiation  for  our  sins. 

11  Beloved,  "if  God  so  loved  us,  we  ought  also  to  love  one 
another. 

12  "'No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any  time.  If  we  love  one 
another,  God  dwelleth  in  us,  and  "his  love  is  perfected  in  us. 

13  'Hereby  know  we  that  we  dwell  in  him,  and  he  in  us, 
because  he  hath  given  us  o-f  his  Spirit. 

1 4  And  "we  have  seen  and  do  testify  that  'the  Father  sent 
the  Son  to  be  the  Saviour  of  the  world. 

15  "Whosoever  shall  confess  that  Jesus  is  the  Son  of  God, 
God  dwelleth  in  him,  and  he  in  God. 

16  And  we  have  known  and  believed  the  love  that  God 
hath  to  us.  ''God  is  love;  and  'he  that  dwelleth  in  love, 
dwelleth  in  God,  and  God  in  him. 

17  Herein  is  four  love  made  perfect,  that  •'we  may  have 
boldness  in  the  day  of  judgment:  'because  as  he  is,  so  are 
we  in  this  world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  love;  but  perfect  love  casteth  out 
fear:  because  fear  hath  torment.  He  that  feareth  *is  not 
made  perfect  in  love. 

19  We  love  him,  because  he  first  loved  us. 

20  'If  a  man  say,  I  love  God,  and  hateth  his  brother,  he  is 
a  liar:  for  he  that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom  he  hath 
seen,  how  can  he  love  God  *whom  he  hath  not  seen  ? 

21  And  'this  commandment  have  we  from  him,  That  he 
who  loveth  God  love  his  brother  also. 

CHAPTER   V. 

The  three  witnesses. 

WHOSOEVER  "believeth  that  ""Jesus  is  the  Christ  is 
''born  of  God :  ''and  every  one  that  loveth  him  that  be- 
gat loveth  him  also  that  is  begotten  of  him. 

2  By  this  we  know  that  we  love  the  children  of  God,  when 
we  love  God,  and  keep  his  commandments. 

3  'For  this  is  the  love  of  God,  that  we  keep  his  command- 
ments :  and  ^his  commandments  are  not  grievous. 

4  For  "whatsoever  is  born  of  God,  overcometh  the  world : 
and  this  is  the  victory  that  overcometh  the  world,  even  our 
faith. 

5  Who  is  he  that  overcometh  the  world,  but  *he  that  be- 
lieveth  that  Jesus  is  the  Son  of  God  ? 

6  This  is  he  that  came  'by  water  and  blood,  even  Jesus 
Christ ;  not  by  water  only,  but  by  water  and  blood.  *And  it 
is  the  Spirit  that  beareth  witness,  because  the  Spirit  is  truth. 

7  For  there  are  three  that  bear  record  in  heaven,  the  Father, 
'the  Word,  and  the  Holy  Ghost  >  ""and  these  three  are  one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  bear  witness  in  earth,  the  spirit, 
and  the  water,  and  the  blood  :  and  these  three  agree  in  one. 

9  If  we  receive  "the  witness  of  men,  the  witness  of  God  is 
greater.:  "for  this  is  the  witness  of  God  which  he  hath  testi- 
fied of  his  Son. 

10  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  of  God  "hath  the  witness 
in  himself:  he  that  believeth  not  God  "hath  made  him  a 
liar;  because  he  believeth  not  the  record  that  God  gave  of 
his  Son. 

11  'And  this  is  the  record,  that  God  hath  given  to  us 
eternal  life,  and  this  life  is  in  his  Son. 


5 They  are  of  the  world:  therefore  speak  they  as  of 

6  the  world,  and  the  world  heareth  them.  We  are  of 
God :  he  that  knoweth  God  heareth  us ;  he  who  is 
not  of  God  heareth  us  not.  By  this  we  know  the 
spirit  of  truth,  and  the  spirit  of  error. 

7  Beloved,  let  us  love  one  another :  for  love  is  of 
God :  and  every  one  that  loveth  is  begotten  of  God, 

Sand   knoweth  God.     He   that  loveth  not  knoweth 

9  not  God ;  for  God  is  love.     Herein  was  the  love  of 

God  manifested  'in  us,  that  God  hath  sent  his  only 

begotten  Son   into  the   world,  that  we   might  live 

10  through  him.  Herein  is  love,  not  that  we  loved 
God,  but  that  he  loved  us,  and  sent  his  Son  to  be 

1 1  the  propitiation  for  our  sins.     Beloved,  if  God   so 

12  loved  us,  we  also  ought  to  love  one  another.  No 
man  hath  beheld  God  at  any  time :  if  we  love  one 
another,  God   abideth   in   us,  and  his  love  is  per- 

13  fected  in  us :  hereby  know  we  that  we  abide  in  him, 
and  he  in  us,  because  he  hath  given  us  of  his  spirit, 

14  And  we  have  beheld  and  bear  witness  that  the  Father 
hath  sent  the  Son  to  be  the  Saviour  of  the  world. 

15  Whosoever  shall  confess  that  Jesus   is  the  Son  of 

16  God,  God  abideth  in  him,  and  he  in  God.  And  we 
know  aud  have  believed  the  love  which  God  hath  'in 
us.     God  is  love;  and  he  that  abideth  in  love  abid- 

17eth  in  God,  and  God  abideth  in  him.  Herein  is  love 
made  perfect  with  us,  that  we  may  have  boldness  in 
the  day  of  judgement;  because  as  he  is,  even  so  are 

18  we  in  this  world.  There  is  no  fear  in  love :  but  perfect 
love  casteth  out  fear,  because  fear  hath  punishment ; 
and  he  that  feareth  is  not  made  perfect  in  love, 
2?  We  love,  because  he  first  loved  us.  If  a  man  say,  I 
love  God,  and  hateth  his  brother,  he  is  a  liar :  for 
he  that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom  he  hath  seen, 

21  ^cannot  love  God  whom  he  hath  not  seen.  And 
this  commandment  have  we  from  him,  that  he  who 
loveth  God  love  his  brother  also, 

0  Whosoever  believeth  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ  is 
begotten  of  God :  and  whosoever  loveth  him  that 
begat   loveth    him   also   that    is    begotten  of  him. 

2  Hereby  we  know  that  we  love  the  children  of  God, 

3  when  we  love  God,  and  do  his  commandments.  For 
this  is  the  love  of  God,  that  we  keep  his  command- 
ments :   and    his   commandments   are  not  grievous, 

4  For  whatsoever  is  begotten  of  God  overcometh  the 
world :  and  this  is  the  victory  that  hath  overcome 

5  the  world,  even  our  faith.  And  who  is  he  that  over- 
cometh the  world,  but  he  that  believeth  that  Jesus 

6  is  the  Son  of  God  ?  This  is  he  that  came  by  water 
and  blood,  even  Jesus  Christ;  not  'with  the   water 

7  only,  but  Vith  the  water  and  'with  the  blood.  And 
it  is  the    Spirit   that  beareth   witness,  because   the 

8  Spirit  is  the  truth.  For  there  are  three  who  bear  wit- 
ness, the  Spirit,  and  the  water,  and  the  blood  :  and 

9  the  three  agree  in  one.  If  we  receive  the  witness  of 
men,  the  witness  of  God  is  greater:  for  the  witness 
of  God   is  this,  that   he   hath  borne   witness  con- 

lOcerning  his  Son.  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  of 
God  hath  the  witness  in  him :  be  that  believeth  not 
God  hath  made  him  a  liar;  because  he  hath  not 
believed  in  the  witness  that  God  hath  borne  con- 

llcerning  his  Son.  And  the  witness  is  this,  that  God 
gave  unto  us  eternal  life,  and  this  life  is  in  his  Son,

12  'He  that  hath  the  Son  hath  life ;  and  he  that  hath  not 
the  Son  of  God  hath  not  life. 

13  "These  things  have  I  written  unto  you  that  believe  on 
the  name  of  the  Son  of  God ;  ""that  ye  may  know  that  ye 
have  eternal  life,  and  that  ye  may  believe  on  the  name  of 
the  Son  of  God. 

14  And  tliis  is  the  confidence  that  we  have  ||  in  him,  that, 
''if  we  ask  any  thing  according  to  his  will,  he  heareth  us : 

15  And  if  we  know  that  he  hear  us,  whatsoever  we  ask, 
we  know  that  we  have  the  petitions  that  we  desired  of  him. 

16  If  any  man  see  his  brother  sin  a  sin  which  is  not  unto 
death,  he  shall  ask,  and  "he  shall  give  him  life  for  them  that 
sin  not  unto  death.  "There  is  a  sin  unto  death:  ''I  do  not 
say  that  he  shall  pray  for  it. 

17  "AH  unrighteousness  is  sin:  and  there  is  a  sin  not  unto 
death. 

18  AVe  know  that  ''whosoever  is  born  of  God, sinneth  not; 
but  he  that  is  begotten  of  God  'keepeth  himself,  and  that 
wicked  one  toucheth  him  not. 

19  And  we  know  that  we  are  of  God,  and  -^the  whole  world 
lieth  in  wickedness. 

20  And  we  know  that  the  Son  of  God  is  come,  and  "hath 
given  us  an  understanding,  ''that  we  may  know  him  that  is 
true;  and  we  are  in  him  that  is  true,  even  in  his  Son  Jesus 
Christ.     This  is  the  true  God,  'and  eternal  life. 

21  Little  children,  'keep  yourselves  from  idols.     Amen. 


12 He  that  hath  the  Son  hath  the  life;  he  that  hath  not 
the  Son  of  God  hath  not  the  life. 

13  These  things  have  I  written  unto  you,  that  ye  may 
know  that  ye  have  eternal  life,  even  unto   you  that 

14  believe  on  the  name  of  the  Son  of  God.  And  this 
is  the  boldness  which  we  have  toward  him,  that,  if 
we  ask  anything  according  to   his  will,  he  heareth 

15 us:  and  if  we  know  that  he  heareth  us  whatsoever 
we  ask,  we  know  that  we  have  the  petitions  which 

16  we  have  asked  of  him.  If  any  man  see  his  brother 
sinning  a  sin  not  unto  death,  'he  shall  ask,  and 
God  will  give  him  life  for  them  that  sin  not  unto 
death.     There  is  ^a  sin  unto  death  :    not  concerning 

17  this  do  I  say  that  he  should  make  request.  All 
unrighteousness  is  sin :  and  there  is  'a  sin  not  unto 
death. 

18  We  know  that  whatsoever  is  begotten  of  God 
sinneth  not;  but  he  that  was  begotten  of  God  keep- 

19eth  'him,  and  the  evil  one  toucheth  him  not.  We 
know  that  we  are  of  God,  and  the  whole  world  lieth 

20  in  the  evil  one.  And  we  know  that  the  Son  of  God 
is  come,  and  hath  given  us  an  understanding,  that 
we  know  him  that  is  true,  and  we  are  in  him  that  is 
true,  even  in  his  Son  Jesus  Christ.     This  is  the  true 

21  God,  and  eternal  life.  3Iy  little  children,  guard 
yourselves  from  idols. 


THE  SECOND  EPISTLE  OF 

JOHN. 

The  elect  lady  exhorted. 

rPHE  elder  unto  the  elect  lady  and  her  children,  "whom  I 
JL  love  in  the  truth ;  and  not  I  only,  but  also  all  they 
that  have  known  'the  truth ; 

2  For  the  truth's  sake,  which  dwelleth  in  us,  and  shall  be 
with  us  for  ever. 

3  "Grace  fbe  with  you,  mercy,  and  peace,  from  God  the 
Father,  and  from  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  Son  of  the 
Father,  ''in  truth  and  love. 

4  I  rejoiced  greatly  that  I  found  of  thy  children  'walking 
in  truth,  as  we  have  received  a  commandment  from  the 
Father. 

5  And  now  I  beseech  thee,  lady,  J'not  as  though  I  wrote  a 
new  commandment  unto  thee,  but  that  which  we  had  from 
the  beginning,  "that  we  love  one  another. 

6  And  ''this  is  love,  that  we  walk  after  his  commandments. 
This  is  the  commandment.  That  'as  ye  have  heard  from  the 
beginning,  ye  should  walk  in  it. 

7  For  'many  deceivers  are  entered  into  the  world,  'who 
confess  not  that  Jesus  Christ  is  come  in  the  flesh.  ""This  is 
a  deceiver  and  an  antichrist. 

8  "Look  to  yourselves,  "that  we  lose  not  those  things  which 
we  have  ||  wrought,  but  that  we  receive  a  full  reward. 

9  "Whosoever  transgresseth,  and  abideth  not  in  the  doc- 
triue  of  Christ,  hath  not  God.  He  that  abideth  in  the 
doctrine  of  Christ,  he  hath  both  the  Father  and  the  Son. 

10  If  there  come  any  unto  you,  and  bring  not  this  doctrine, 
receive  him  not  into  your  house,  'neither  bid  him  God 
speed : 

11  For  he  that  biddeth  him  God  speed  is  a  partaker  of  his 
evil  deeds. 

12  'Having  many  things  to  write  unto  you,  I  would  not 
write  with  paper  and  ink :  but  I  trust  to  come  unto  you,  and 
speak  fface  to  face,  'that  Hour  joy  may  be  full. 

13  'The  children  of  thy  elect  sister  greet  thee.     Amen. 


THE  SECOND  EPISTLE  OF 


JOHN. 


1  The  elder  unto  the  elect  lady  and  her  children, 
whom  I  love  in  truth ;  and  not  I  only,  but  also  all 

2  they  that  know  the  truth  ;  for  the  truth's  sake  which 

3  abideth  in  us,  and  it  shall  be  with  us  for  ever :  Grace, 
mercy,  peace  shall  be  with  us,  from  God  the  Father, 
and  from  Jesus  Christ,  the  Son  of  the  Father,  in 
truth  and  love. 

4  I  rejoice  greatly  that  I  have  found  certain  of  thy 
children  walking  in  truth,  even  as  we  received  com- 

5  mandment  from  the  Father.  And  now  I  beseech 
thee,  lady,  not  as  though  I  wrote  to  thee  a  new 
commandment,  but   that   which    we    had    from    the 

6  beginning,  that  we  love  one  another.  And  this  is 
love,  that  we  should  walk  after  his  commandments. 
This   is  the  commandment,  even   as  ye  heard  from 

7  beginning,  that  ye  should  walk  in  it.  For  many 
deceivers  are  gone  forth  into  the  world,  even  they 
that  confess  not  that   Jesus   Christ  cometh  in   the 

8  flesh.  This  is  the  deceiver  and  the  antichrist.  Look 
to  yourselves,  that  ye  'lose  not  the  things  which  ^we 
have  wrought,  but  that  ye   receive   a   full   reward. 

9Who,soever  'goeth  onward  and  abideth  not  in  the 
teaching  of  Christ,  hath  not  God  :  he  that  abideth  in 
the  teaching,  the  same  hath  both  the  Father  and  the 

10  Son.     If  any  one  cometh  unto  you,  and  bringeth  not 
this  teaching,  receive  him  not  into  your  house,  and 

11  give  him  no  greeting :  for  he  that  giveth  him  greet- 
ing partaketh  in  his  evil  works. 

12  Having  many  things  to  write  unto  you,  I  would 
not  write  them  with  paper  and  ink :    but  I   hope   to 

-  come  unto  you,  and  to  speak  face  to  face,  that  your 
13joy  may  be  fulfilled.     The  children  of  thine  elect 
sister  salute  thee.

love 


The  piety  of  Gaius  commended. 

THE  elder  unto  the  well  beloved  Ga'ius,  "whom  I 
II  in  the  truth. 

2  Beloved,  I  jjwish  above  all  things  that  thou  mayest 
prosper  and  be  in  health,  even  as  thy  soul  prospereth. 

3  For  I  rejoiced  greatly,  when  the  brethren  came  and  tes- 
tified of  the  truth  that  is  in  thee,  even  as  'thou  walkest  in 
the  truth. 

4  I  have  no  greater  joy  than  to  hear  that  °my  children 
walk  in  truth. 

5  Beloved,  thou  doest  faithfully  whatsoever  thou  doest  to 
the  brethren,  and  to  strangers; 

6  Which  have  borne  witness  of  thy  charity  before  the 
church:  whom  if  thou  bring  forward  on  their  journey 
fafter  a  godly  sort,  thou  shalt  do  well : 

7  Because  that  for  his  name's  sake  they  went  forth,  ''tak- 
ing nothing  of  the  Gentiles. 

8  We  therefore  ought  to  receive  such,  that  we  might  be 
fellow  helpers  to  the  truth. 

9  I  wrote  unto  the  church :  but  Di-ot're-phes,  who  lov- 
eth  to  have  the  preeminence  among  them,  receiveth  us 
not. 

10  Wherefore,  if  I  come,  I  will  remember  his  deeds  which 
he  doeth,  prating  against  us  with  malicious  words :  and  not 
content  therewith,  neither  doth  he  himself  receive  the  breth-

evil  hath  not  seen  God.

THE  THIRD  EPISTLE  OF 


JOHN. 


1  The  elder  unto  Gra'ius  the  beloved,  wliom  I  love 
in  the  truth. 

2  Beloved,  I  pray  that  in  all  things  thou  mayest 
prosper  and  be  in  health,  even  as  thy  soul  prosper- 

3eth.  Fori  'rejoiced  greatly,  when  brethren  came 
and  bare  witness  unto  thy  truth,  even  as  thou  walk- 

4  est  ia  trutL  Greater  ^joy  have  I  none  than  *this,  to 
hear  of  my  children  walking  in  the  truth. 

5  Beloved,  thou  doest  a  faithful  work  in  whatsoever 
thou  doest  toward  them  that  are  brethren  and  stran- 

6gers  withal;  who  bare  witness  to  thy  love  before 
the  church :  whom  thou  wilt  do  well  to  set  forward 

7  on  their  jo'Jrney  worthily  of  God :  because  that  for 
the  sake  of  the  Name  they  went  forth,  taking  nothing 

8  of  the  Gentiles.  We  therefore  ought  to  welcome 
such,  that  we  may  be  fellow-workers  with  the 
tri'/ch. 

9  I  wrote  somewhat  unto  the  church :  but  Di-ot're- 
phes,  who  loveth  to  have  the  preeminence  among 

10  them,  receiveth  us  not.  Therefore,  if  I  come,  I  will 
bring  to  remembrance  his  work  which  he  doeth, 
prating  against  us  with  wicked  words :  and  not  con- 
tent therewith,  neither  doth  he  himself  receive  the 
brethren,  and  them  that  would  he  forbiddeth,  and 

11  casteth  them  out  of  the  church.  Beloved,  imitate 
not  that  which  is  evil,  but  that  which  is  good.  He 
that  doeth  good  is  of  God :  he  that  doeth  evil  hath 

12  not  seen  God.  De-me'tri-us  hath  the  witness  of  all 
men,  and  of  the  truth  itself:  yea,  we  also  bear  wit- 
ness; and  thou  knowest  that  our  witness  is  true. 

13  I  had  many  things  to  write  unto  thee,  but  I  am 
unwilling  to  write  them,  to  thee  with  ink  and  pen : 

14  but  I  hope  shortly  to  see  thee,  and  we  shall  speak 
face  to  face.  Peace  be  unto  thee.  The  friends  salute 
thee.     Salute  the  friends  by  name.

JUDE. 


Of  constancy  in  the  faith. 

JUDE,  the  servant  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  brother  of  "James, 
to  them  that  are  sanctified  by  God  the  Father,  and  'pre- 
served in  Jesus  Christ,  and  ''called : 

2  Mercy  unto  you,  and  ''peace,  and  love,  be  multiplied. 

3  Beloved,  when  I  gave  all  diligence  to  write  unto  you 
'of  the  common  salvation,  it  was  needful  for  me  to  write 
unto  you,  and  exhort  you  that  •'ye  should  earnestly  con- 
tend tor  the  faith  which  was  once  delivered  uuto  the 
saints. 

4  'For  there  are  certain  men  crept  in  unawares,  *who 
were  before  of  old  ordained  to  this  condemnation,  un- 
godly men,  'turning  *the  grace  of  our  God  into  lascivious- 
ness,  and  'denying  the  only  Lord  God,  and  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 


THE  GENERAL  EPISTLE  OF 


JUDE. 


1  Ju'das,  a  'servant  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  brother  of 
James,  Ho  them  that  are  called,  beloved  in  God  the 

2  Father,  and  kept  for  Jesus  Christ :  Mercy  unto  you 
and  peace  and  love  be  multiplied. 

3  Beloved,  while  I  was  giving  all  diligence  to 
write  unto  you  of  our  common  salvation,  I  was 
constrained  to  write  unto  you  exhorting  you  to 
contend  earnestly  for  the  faith  which  was  once  for 

4  all  delivered  unto  the  saints.  For  there  are  cer- 
tain men  crept  in  privily,  even  they  who  were  of 
old  set  forth  unto  this  condemnation,  ungodly  men, 
turning  the  grace  of  our  God  into  lasciviousness, 
and  denying  'our  only  Master  and  Lord,  Jesus 
Christ.

5  I  will  therefore  put  you  in  remembrance,  though  ye  once 
knew  this,  how  that  "the  Lord,  having  saved  the  people  out 
of  the  land  of  E'gypt,  afterward  "destroyed  them  that  be- 
lieved not. 

6  And  "the  angels  which  kept  not  their  ||  first  estate,  but 
left  their  own  habitation,  ''he  hath  reserved  in  everlasting 
chains  under  darkness  'unto  the  judgment  of  the  great 
day. 

7  Even  as  ''Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  and  the  cities  about 
them  in  like  manner,  giving  themselves  over  to  fornication, 
and  going  after  fstrange  flesh,  are  set  forth  for  an  example, 
suflTering  the  vengeance  of  eternal  fire. 

8  'Likewise  also  these  filthy  dreamers  defile  the  flesh,  de- 
spise dominion,  and  'speak  evil  of  dignities. 

9  "Yet  "Mi'chael  the  archangel,  when  contending  with  the 
devil  he  disputed  about  the  body  of  Mo'ses,  ''durst  not 
bring  against  him  a  railing  accusation,  but  said,  "The  Lord 
rebuke  thee. 

10  'But  these  speak  evil  of  those  things  which  they  know 
not:  but  what  they  know  naturally, as  brute  beasts,  in  those 
things  they  corrupt  themselves. 

11  Woe  unto  them!  for  they  have  gone  in  the  way  "of 
Cain,  and  'ran  greedily  after  the  error  of  Ba'laam  for  re- 
ward, and  perished  ''in  the  gain.saying  of  Co're. 

12  ''These  are  spots  in  your  'feasts  of  charity,  when  they 
feast  with  you,  feeding  themselves  without  fear:  •''clouds 
they  are  without  water,  "carried  about  of  winds;  trees  whose 
fruit  withereth,  without  fruit,  twice  dead,  *plucked  up  by 
the  roots ; 

13  'Raging  waves  of  the  sea,  *foaming  out  their  own 
shame;  wandering  stars,  'to  whom  is  reserved  the  black- 
ness of  darkness  for  ever. 

14  And  E'noch  also,  ""the  seventh  from  Ad'am,  prophesied 
of  these,  saying,  Behold,  "the  Lord  cometh  with  ten  thou- 
sand of  his  saints, 

15  To  execute  judgment  upon  all,  and  to  convince  all 
that  are  ungodly  among  them  of  all  their  ungodly  deeds 
which  they  have  ungodly  committed,  and  of  all  their 
"hard  speeches  which  ungodly  sinners  have  spoken  against 
him. 

16  These  are  murmurers,  complainers,  walking  after 
their  own  lusts;  and  "their  mouth  speaketh  great  swelling 
words,  ''having  men's  persons  in  admiration  because  of 
advantage. 

17  'But,  beloved,  remember  ye  the  words  which  were 
spoken  before  of  the  apostles  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ ; 

18  How  that  they  told  you  'there  should  be  mockers  in 
the  last  time,  who  should  walk  after  their  own  ungodly 
lusts. 

19  These  be  they  'who  separate  themselves,  "sensual,  hav- 
ing not  the  Spirit. 

20  But  ye,  beioved,  "'building  up  yourselves  on  your  most 
holy  faith,  "praying  in  the  Holy  Ghost, 

21  Keep  yourselves  in  the  love  of  God,  'looking  for  the 
mercy  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  unto  eternal  life. 

22  And  of  some  have  compassion,  making  a  difference : 

23  And  others  "save  with  fear,  'pulling  them  out  of  the 
fire ;  hating  even  "the  garment  spotted  by  the  flesh. 

24  ''Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  keep  you  from  falling, 
and  'to  present  you  faultless  before  the  presence  of  his  glory 
with  exceeding  joy, 

25  ^o  the  only  wise  God  our  Saviour,  be  glory  and  ma- 
jesty, dominion  and  power,  both  now  and  ever.     Amen. 


5  Now  I  desire  to  put  you  in  remembrance,  though 
ye  know  all  things  once  for  all,  how  that  'the  Lord, 
having  saved  a  people  out  of  the  land  of  E'gypt, 

6  ^afterward  destroyed  them  that  believed  not.  And 
angels  which  kept  not  their  own  principality,  but 
left  their  proper  habitation,  he  hath  kept  in  everlast- 
ing bonds  under  darkness  unto  the  judgement  of  the 

7  great  day.  Even  as  Sod'om  and  Go-mor'rah,  and  the 
cities  about  them,  having  in  like  manner  with  these 
given  themselves  over  to  fornication,  and  gone  after 
strange  flesh,  are  set  forth  'as  an  example,  suffering 

8  the  punishment  of  eternal  fire.  Yet  in  like  manner 
these  also  in  their  dreamings  defile  the  flesh,  and 
set    at    nought    dominion,    and    rail    at    ^dignities. 

9  But  Mi'chael  the  archangel,  when  contending  with 
the  devil  he  disputed  about  the  body  of  Mo'ses,  durst 
not  bring  against  him  a  railing  judgement,  but  said, 

10  The  Lord  rebuke  thee.  But  these  rail  at  whatsoever 
things  they  know  not:  and  what  they  understand 
naturally,  like  the  creatures  without  reason,  in  these 

11  things  are  they  'destroyed.  Woe  unto  them!  for 
they  went  in  the  way  of  Cain,  and  "ran  riotously  in 
the  error  of  Ba'laam  for  hire,  and  perished  in  the 

12  gainsaying  of  Ko'rah.  These  are  they  who  are 
'hidden  rocks  in  your  love-feasts  when  they  feast  with 
you,  shepherds  that  without  fear  feed  themselves; 
clouds  without  water,  carried  along  by  winds ;  au- 
tumn trees  without  fruit,  twice  dead,  plucked  up  by 

13 the  roots;  wild  waves  of  the  sea,  foaming  out  their 
own  *shame;  wandering  stars,  for  whom  the  black- 

14ness  of  darkness  hath  been  reserved  for  ever.  And 
to  these  also  E'noch,  the  seventh  from  Ad'am,  proph- 
esied, saying.  Behold,  the  Lord  came  with  ^ten  thou- 

15  sands  of  his  holy  ones,  to  execute  judgement  upon 
all,  and  to  convict  all  the  ungodly  of  all  their  works 
of  ungodliness  which  they  have  ungodly  wrought, 
and  of  all  the  hard  things  which  ungodly  sinners 

16  have  spoken  against  him.  These  are  murmurers, 
complainers,  walking  after  their  lusts  (and  their 
mouth  speaketh  great  swelling  words),  shewing  re- 
spect of  persons  for  the  sake  of  advantage. 

17  But  ye,  beloved,  remember  ye  the  words  which 
have    been   spoken    before  by  the   apostles  of  our 

18  Lord  Jesus  Christ;  how  that  they  said  to  you.  In  the 
last  time  there  shall  be  mockers,  M'alking  after  '"their 

19  own   ungodly  lusts.     These  are  they  who  make  sep- 
20aration8,  "sensual,  having  not  the   Spirit.     But  ye, 

beloved,  building  up  yourselves  on  your  most  holy 

21  faith,  praying  in  the  Holy  Spirit,  keep  yourselves  in 
the  love  of  God,  looking  for  the  mercy  of  our  Lord 

22  Jesus  Christ  unto  eternal  life.     '^And  on  some  have 
23 mercy,  "who  are  in  doubt;  and  some  save,  snatch- 
ing them  out  of  the  fire ;  and  on  some  have  mercy

24  Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  guard  you  from 
stumbling,  and  to  set  you  before  the  presence  of  his 

25  glory  without  blemish  in  exceeding  joy,  to  the  only

THE  REVELATION 

OP 

S.  JOHN  THE  DIVINE. 
CHAPTER   I. 

Oy  the  coming  of  Ch:  ist. 

THE  Revelation  of  Jesus  Christ,  "which  God  gave  unto 
him,  to  shew  unto  his  servants  things  which  'must  shortly 
come  to  pass;  and  "he  sent  and  signified  it  by  his  angel  unto 
his  servant  John : 

2  ''Who  bare  record  of  the  word  of  God,  and  of  the  testi- 
mony of  Jesus  Christ,  and  of  all  things  'that  he  saw. 

3  -Messed  is  he  that  readeth,  and  they  that  hear  the  words 
of  this  prophecy,  and  keep  those  things  which  are  written 
therein :  for  "the  time  is  at  hand. 

4  John  to  the  seven  churches  which  are  in  A'si-a :  Grace 
be  unto  you,  and  peace,  from  him  *which  is,  and  'which  was, 
and  which  is  to  come ;  *and  from  the  seven  Spirits  which 
are  before  his  throne; 

5  And  from  Jesus  Christ,  hvho  is  the  faithful  witness,  and 
the  ""firstbegotten  of  the  dead,  and  "the  prince  of  the  kings 
of  the  earth.  Unto  him  "that  loved  us,  "and  washed  us 
from  our  sins  in  his  own  blood,

ther; 'to  him  6e  glory  and  dominion  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

7  'Behold,  he  cometh  with  clouds ;  and  every  eye  shall  see 
him,  and  'they  a?so  which  pierced  him  :  and  all  kindreds  of 
the  earth  shall  wail  because  of  him.     Even  so.  Amen. 

8  "I  am  Al'pha  and  O'me-ga,  the  beginning  and  the  ending, 
saith  the  Lord,  ""which  is,  and  which  was,  and  which  is  to 
come,  the  Almighty. 

9  I  John,  who  also  am  your  brother,  and  "companion  in 
tribulation,  and  'in  the  kingdom  and  patience  of  Jesus  Christ, 
was  in  the  isle  that  is  called  Pat'mos,  "for  the  word  of  God, 
and  for  the  testimony  of  Jesus  Christ. 

10  ''I  was  in  the  Spirit  on  ""the  Lord's  day,  and  heard  be- 
hind me  ^a  great  voice,  as  of  a  trumpet, 

11  Saying,  'I  am  Al'pha  and  O'me-ga, -^the  first  and  the 
last:  and.  What  thou  seest  write  in  a  book,  and  send  it  unto 
the  seven  churches  which  are  in  A'si-a ;  unto  Eph'e-su.s,  and 
unto  Smyr'na,  and  unto  Per'ga-mos,  and  unto  Thy-a-ti'ra,  and 
unto  Sar^dis,  and  unto  Phil-a-del'phi-a,  and  unto  La-od-i-ce'a. 

12  And  I  turned  to  see  the  voice  that  spake  with  me.  And 
being  turned,  'I  saw  seven  golden  candlesticks; 

13  ''And  in  the  midst  of  the  seven  candlesticks  'one  like 
unto  the  Son  of  man,  "'clothed  with  a  garment  down  to  the 
foot,  and  'girt  about  the  paps  with  a  golden  girdle. 

14  His  head  and  "his  hairs  were  white  like  wool,  as  white 
as  snow ;  and  "his  eyes  were  as  a  flame  of  fire ; 

15  "And  his  feet  like  unto  fine  .brass,  as  if  they  burned  in 
a  furnace  ;  and  "his  voice  as  the  sound  of  many  waters. 

16  'And  he  had  in  his  right  hand  seven  stars:  and  'out  of 
his  mouth  went  a  sharp  twoedged  sword :  "and  his  counte- 
nance was  as  the  sun  shineth  in  his  strength. 

17  And  'when  I  saw  him,  I  fell  at  his  feet  as  dead.  And 
"he  laid  his  right  hand  upon  me,  saying  unto  me.  Fear  not ; 
'I  am  the  first  and  the  last: 

18  "lam  he  that  liveth,and  was  dead;  and,  behold,'!  am  alive 
for  evermore.  Amen ;  and  "have  the  keys  of  hell  and  of  death. 

19  Write  Hhe  things  which  thou  ha.st  seen,  ''and  the  things 
which  are,  ''and  the  things  which  shall  be  hereafter ; 

20  The  mystery  'of  the  seven  stars  which  thou  .sawest  in 
my  right  hand,  ^and  the  seven  golden  candlesticks.  The 
seven  stars  are  "the  angels  of  the  seven  churches:  and  *the 
seven  candlesticks  which  thou  sawest  are  the  seven  churches. 


THE  REVELATION 


T 


OP 


S.  JOHN. THE  DIVINE. 


J-  The  Revelation  of  Jesus  Christ,  which  God  'gave 
him  to  shew  unto  his  'servants,  even  the  things  which 
must  shortly  come  to  pass :  and  he  sent  and  signified 

2^it  by  his  angel  unto  his  servant  John;  who  bare 
witness  of  the  word  of  God,  and  of  the  testimony 
of  Jesus  Christ,  even  of  all  things  that   he    saw. 

3  Blessed  is  he  that  readeth,  and  they  that  hear  the 
words  of  the  prophecy,  and  keep  the  things  which 
are  written  therein :  for  the  time  is  at  hand. 

4  John  to  the  seven  churches  which  are  in  A'si-a 
Grace  to  you  and  peace,  from  him  which  is  and  which 
was  and  *which   is  to  come;  and  from   the  seven 

5 Spirits  which  are  before  his  throne;  and  from  Jesus 
Cnrist,  who  is  the  faithful  witness,  the  firstborn  of  the 
dead,  and  the  ruler  of  the  kings  of  the  earth.  Unto 
him  that  loveth  us,  and  'loosed  us  from  our  sins  *by 

6 his  blood;  and  he  made  us  to  be  a  kingdom,  to  be 
priests  unto  his  God  and  Father;  to  him  be  the  glory 

7  and  the  dominion  ^for  ever  and  ever.  Amen.  Behold, 
he  cometh  with  the  clouds;  and  every  eye  shall  see 
him,  and  they  which  pierced  him ;  and  all  the  tribes 
of  the  earth  shall  mourn  over  him.     Even  so.  Amen. 

8  I  am  the  Al'pha  and  the  O'me-ga,  saith  "the  Lord 
God,  'which  is  and  which  was  and  ^which  is  to  come, 
the  Almighty. 

9  I  John,  your  brother  and  partaker  with  you  in  the 
tribulation  and  kingdom  and  patience  which  are  in 
Jesus,  was  in  the  isle  that  is  called  Pat'mos,  for  the 

10  word  of  God  and  the  testimony  of  Jesus.  I  was  in 
the  Spirit  on  the  Lord's  day,  and  I  heard  behind  me 

11a  great  voice,  as  of  a  trumpet  saying,  What  thou 
seest,  write  in  a  book,  and  send  it  to  the  seven 
churches;  unto  Eph'e-sus,  and  unto  Smyr'na, and  unto 
Per'ga-mum,and  unto  Thy-a-ti'ra, and  unto  Sar'dis,and 

12  unto  Phil-a-del'phi-a,  and  unto  La-od-i-ce'a.  Andlturned 
to  see  the  voice  which  spake  with  me.     And  having 

13 turned  I  saw  seven  golden  '"candlesticks;  and  in  the 
midst  of  the  '"candlesticks  one  like  unto  "a  son  of 
man,  clothed  with  a  garment  down  to  the  foot,  and 

14  girt  about  at  the  breasts  with  a  golden  girdle.  And 
his  head  and  his  hair  were  white  as  white  wool,  white 

15 as  snow;  and  his  eyes  were  as  a  flame  of  fire;  and 
his  feet  like  unto  burnished  brass,  as  if  it  had  been 
refined  in  a  furnace;    and    iiis    voice   as  the   voice 

16 of  many  waters.  And  he  had  in  his  right  hand 
seven  stars :  and  out  of  his  mouth  proceeded  a 
sharp  two-edged  sword :   and  his  countenance   was 

17  as  the  sun  shineth  in  his  strength.  And  when  I  saw 
him,  I  fell  at  his  feet  as  one  dead.  And  he  laid  his 
right  hand  upon  me,  saying.  Fear  not ;  I  am  the  first 

18 and  the  last,  and  the  Living  one;  and  I  ''was  dead, 
and  behold,  I  am  alive  'for  evermore,  and  I  have  the 

19  keys  of  death  and  of  Ha'des.  Write  therefore  the 
things  which  thou  sawest,  and  the  things  which  are, 
and  the  things  which  shall  come  to  pass  hereafter; 

20  the  mystery  of  the  seven  stars  which  thou  sawe.st  '^in 
my  right  hand,  and  the  seven  golden  '"candlesticks. 
The  seven  stars  are  the  angels  of  the  seven  churches : 
and  the  seven  '"candlesticks  are  .seven  churches.

CHAPTER   II. 

To  iht  churches  of  Ephesut,  dfc. 

UNTO  the  angel  of  the  church  of  Eph'e-sus  write ;  These 
things  saith  "he  that  holdeth  the  seven  stars  in  his  right 
hand,  'who  walketh  in  the  midst  of  the  seven  golden  candle- 
sticks ; 

2  'I  know  thy  works,  and  thy  labour,  and  thy  patience, 
and  how  thou  canst  not  bear  them  which  are  evil :  and 
■'thou  hast  tried  them  'which  say  they  are  apostles,  and  are 
not,  and  hast  found  them  liars : 

3  And  hast  borne,  and  hast  patience,  and  for  my  name's 
sake  hast  laboured,  and  hast  •'^not  fainted. 

4  Nevertheless  I  have  somewhat  against  thee,  because  thou 
hast  left  thy  first  love. 

5  Remember  tnerefore  from  whence  thou  art  fallen,  and 
repent,  and  do  the  first  works;  "or  else  I  will  come  unto 
thee  quickly,  and  will  remove  thy  candlestick  out  of  his 
place,  except  thou  repent. 

6  But  this  thou  hast,  that  thou  hatest  the  deeds  of  *the 
Nic-o-la'i-tans,  which  I  also  hate. 

7  'He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith 
unto  the  churches ;  To  him  that  overcometh  will  I  give  'to  eat 
of 'the  tree  of  life,  which  is  in  the  mid.st  of  the  paradise  of  God. 

8  And  unto  the  angel  of  the  churcii  in  Smyr'na,  write;  These 
things  saith  ""the  first  and  the  last,  which  was  dead,  and  is  alive; 

9  "I  know  thy  works,  and  tribulation,  and  poverty,  (but 
thou  art  "rich)  and  I  know  the  bla.sphemy  of  "them  which  say 
they  are  Jews,  and  are  not,  'but  are  the  synagogue  of  Sa'tan. 

10  ''Fear  none  of  those  things  which  thou  shalt  suffer:  be- 
hold, the  devil  shall  cast  some  of  you  into  prison,  that  ye  may 
be  tried;  and  ye  shall  have  tributation  ten  days:  'be  thou 
faithful  unto  death,  and  I  will  give  thee  'a  crown  of  life. 

11  "He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith 
unto  the  churches ;  He  that  overcometh  shall  not  be  hurt 
of  "'the  second  death. 

1 2  And  to  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Per'ga-mos  write ;  These 
things  saith  "he  which  bath  the  sharp  sword  with  two  edges ; 

13  'I  knowthy  works,  and  where  thou  dwellest,  even  "where 
Sa' tan's  seat  is.-  and  thou  boldest  fast  my  name,  and  hast  not  de- 
nied my  faith, even  in  those  days  wherei  n  An'ti-pas  was  my  faith- 
ful martyr,  who  was  slain  among  you,  where  Sa'tan  dwelleth. 

14  But  I  have  a  few  things  against  thee,  because  thou  hast 
there  them  that  hold  the  doctrine  of  'Ba'laam,  who  taught 
Ba'lak  to  ca.st  a  stumblingblock  before  the  children  of  Is'ra-el, 
"to  eat  things  sacrificed  unto  idols,  ''and  to  commit  fornication. 

15  So  hast  thou  also  them  that  hold  the  doctrine  'of  the 
Nic-o-la'i-tans,  which  thing  I  hate. 

16  Repent;  or  else  I  will  come  unto  thee  quickly,  and 
^vvill  fight  against  them  with  the  sword  of  my  mouth. 

17  »He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith 
unto  the  churches;  To  him  that  overcometh  will  I  give  to 
eat  of  the  hidden  manna,  and  will  give  him  a  white  stone, 
and  in  the  stone  ''a  new  name  written,  which  no  man  know- 
eth  saving  he  that  receiveth  it. 

18  And  unto  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Thy-a-ti'ra  write; 
These  things  saith  the  Son  of  God,  'who  hath  his  eyes  like 
unto  a  flame  of  fire,  and  his  feet  are  like  fine  brass; 

19  'I  know  thy  works,  and  charity,  and  service,  and  faith,  and 
thy  patience,  and  thy  works;  and  the  last  to  be  more  than  the  first. 

20  Notwithstanding  I  have  a  few  things  against  thee,  be- 
cause thou  sufFerest  that  woman  'Jez'e-bel,  which  calleth  her- 
self a  prophetess,  to  teach  and  to  seduce  my  servants  ""to 
commit  fornication,  and  to  eat  things  sacrificed  unto   idols. 

21  And  I  gave  her  space  "to  repent  of  her  fornication  ;  and 
she  repented  not. 

22  Behold,  I  will  cast  her  into  a  bed,  and  them  that  com- 
mit adultery  with  her  into  great  tribulation,  except  they  re- 
pent of  their  deeds. 

23  And  I  will  kill  her  children  with  death ;    and  all  the 


^     To  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Eph'e-sus  write ; 
These  things  saith  he  that  holdeth  the  seven  stars 
in  his  right  hand,  he  that  walketh  in  the  midst  of  the 

2  seven  golden  'candlesticks  :  I  know  thy  works,  and 
thy  toil  and  patience,  and  that  thou  canst  not  bear 
evil  men,  and  didst  try  them  which  call  themselves 
apostles,  and  they  are  not,  and  did.st  find  them  false ; 

3  and  thou  ha-st  patience  and  didst  bear  for  my  name's 

4  sake,  and  hast  not  grown  weary.  But  I  have  this 
against  thee,  that  thou  didst  leave   thy    first    love. 

5  Remember  therefore  from  whence  thou  art  fallen, 
and  repent,  and  do  the  first  works ;  or  else  I  come 
to  thee,  and  will  move  thy  ^candlestick  out   of  its 

6  place,  except  thou  repent.  But  this  thou  hast,  that 
thou  hatest  the  works  of  the  Nic-o-la'i-tans,  which  J. 

7  also  hate..  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him  hear  what 
the  Spirit  saith  to  the  churches.  To  him  that  over- 
cometh, to  him  will  I  give  to  eat  of  the  tree  of  life, 
which  is  in  the  ^Paradise  of  God. 

8  And  to  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Smyr'na  write; 
These    things   saith  the  first  and  the  last,  which 

9*was  dead,  and  lived  again:  I  know  thy  tribulation, 
and  thy  poverty  (but  thou  art  rich),  and  the  'blas- 
phemy of  them  which  say  they  are  Jews,  and  they 

10  are  not,  but  are  a  synagogue  of  Sa'tan.  Fear  not  the 
things  which  thou  art  about  to  suffer:  behold,  the 
devil  is  about  to  cast  some  of  you  into  prison,  that 
ye  may  be  tried ;  "and  ye  shall  have  'tribulation  ten 
days.     Be  thou  faithful  unto  death,  and  I  will  give 

11  thee  the  crown  of  life.  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him 
hear  what  the  Spirit  saith  to  the  churches.  He  that 
overcometh  shall  not  be  hurt  of  the  second  death. 

12  And  to  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Per'ga-mum  write ; 
These   things  saith    he  that  hath  the  sharp  two- 

13  edged  sword :  I  know  where  thou  dwellest,  even 
where  Sa'tan's  throne  is:  and  thou  boldest  fast  my 
name,  and  didst  not  deny  my  faith,  even  in  the  days 
W  An'ti-pas  my  witness,  my  faithful  one,  who  was 

14  killed  among  you,  where  Sa'tan  dwelleth.  But  I 
have  a  few  things  again.st  thee,  because  thou  hast 
there  some  that  hold  the  teaching  of  Ba'laam,  who 
taught  Ba'lak  to  cast  a  stumblingblock  before  the 
children  of  Is'ra-el,  to  eat  things  sacrificed  to  idols, 

15  and  to  commit  fornication.  So  hast  thou  also  some 
that  hold  the  teaching  of  the  Nic-o-Ia'i-tans  in  like 

16  manner.  Repent  therefore;  or  else  I  come  to  thee 
quickly,  and  I  will  make  war  against  them  with  the 

17  sword  of  my  mouth.  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him 
hear  what  the  Spirit  saith'  to  the  churches.  To  him 
that  overcometh,  to  him  will  I  give-  of  the  hidden 
manna,  and  I  will  give  him  a  white  stone,  and  upon 
the  stone  a  new  name  written,  which  no  one  knoweth 
but  he  that  receiveth  it. 

18  And  to  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Thy-a-ti'ra  write ; 
These  things  saith  the  Son  of  God,  who  hath  his 

eyes  like  a  flame  of  fire,  and  his  feet  are  like  unto 
19 burnished  brass:  I  know  thy  works,  and  thy  love 
and  faith  and  ministry  and  patience,  and  that  thy 
20 last  works  are  more  than  the  first.  But  I  have  this 
against  thee,  that  thou  sufferest  'the  woman  Jez'e-bel, 
which  calleth  herself  a  prophetess ;  and  she  teacheth 
and  seduceth  my  servants  to  commit  fornication,  and 

21  to  eat  things  sacrificed  to  idols.  And  I  gave  her 
time  that  she  slxould  repent;  and  she  willeth  not  to 

22  repent  of  her  fornication.  Behold,  I  do  cast  her  into 
a  bed,  and  them  that  commit  adultery  with  her  into 
great  tribulation,  except  they  repent  of '"her  works. 

23  And  I  will  kill  her  children  with  "death;  and  all  the

according  to  your  works.

as  have  not  this  doctrine,  and  which  have  not  known  the  depths 
of  Sa' tan,  as  they  speak;  «I  will  put  upon  you  none  other  burden.

26  And  he  that  overcometh,  and  keepeth  'my  works  unto 
the  end,  'to  him  will  I  give  power  over  the  nations: 

27  "And  he  shall  rule  them  with  a  rod  of  iron;  as  the 
vessels  of  a  potter  shall  they  be  broken  to  shivers :  even  as 
I  received  of  my  Father. 

28  And  I  will  give  him  ""the  morning  star.

CHAPTER    III. 

To  the  church  of  Sardis,  <^c. 

AND  unto  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Sar'dis  write;  These 
things  saith  he  "that  hath  the  seven  Spirits  of  God, and 
the  seven  stars ;  ''I  know  thy  works,  that  thou  hast  a  name 
that  thou  livest,  "and  art  dead. 

2  Be  watchful,  and  strengthen  the  things  which  remain, 
that  are  ready  to  die :  for  I  have  not  found  thy  works  per- 
fect before  God. 

3  ''Remember  therefore  how  thou  hast  received  and  heard, 
and  hold  fast,  and  'repent.  ■''If  therefore  thou  shalt  not 
watch,  I  will  come  on  thee  as  a  thief,  and  thou  shalt  not 
know  what  hour  I  will  come  upon  thee. 

4  Thou  hast  "a  few  names  even  in  Sar'dis  which  have  not 
'defiled  their  garments;  and  they  shall  walk  with  me  'in 
wh>te  :  for  they  are  worthy. 

5  He  that  overcometh,*the  same  shall  be  clothed  in  white  rai- 
ment; and  I  will  not 'blotout  his  nameout  of  the  "book  of  life,  but 
"I  will  confess  his  name  before  my  Father,  and  before  his  angels. 

6  °He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith 
unto  the  churches. 

7  And  to  the  angel  of  the  church  in  Phil-a-del'phi-a  write; 
These  things  saith  ''he  that  is  holy,  'he  that  is  true,  he  that 
hath  'the  key  of  Da'vid,  'he  that  openeth,  and  no  man  shut- 
teth;  and  'shutteth,  and  no  man  openeth; 

8  "I  know  thy  works :  behold,  I  have  set  before  thee  *an  open 
door,  and  no  man  can  shut  it:  for  thou  hast  a  little  strength, 
and  hast  kept  my  word,  and  hast  not  denied  my  name. 

9  Behold,  I  will  make  "them  of  the  synagogue  of  Sa'tau, 
which  say  they  are  Jews,  and  are  not,  but  do  lie ;  behold,  ''I 
will  make  them  to  come  and  worship  before  thy  feet,  and  to 
know  that  I  have  loved  thee. 

10  Because  thou  hast  kept  the  word  of  my  patience,  "I  also 
will  keep  thee  from  the  hour  of  temptation,  which  shall  come 
upon  'all  the  world,  to  try*  them  that  dwell  'upon  the  earth. 

11  Behold,  ''I  come  quickly:  'hold  that  fast  which  thou 
hast,  that  no  man  take  ^thy  crown. 

12  Him  that  overcometh  will  I  make  'a  pillar  in  the  temple 
of  my  God,  and  he  shall  go  no  more  out:  and  ''I  will  write  upon 
him  the  name  of  ray  God,  and  the  name  of  the  city  of  my  God, 
which  is  'new  Je-ru'sa-lem,  which  cometh  down  out  of  heaven 
from  my  God:  ''and  I  will  write  upon  him  my  new  name. 

13  'He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith 
unto  the  churches. 

14  And  unto  the  angel  of  the  church  |Iof  the  La-od-i-ce'ans 
write;  ""These  things  saith  the  Amen,  "the  faithful  and  true 
witness,  "the  beginning  of  the  creation  of  God ; 

15  "I  know  thy  works,  that  thou  art  neither  cold  nor  hot: 
I  would  thou  wcrt  cold  or  hot. 

16  So  then  because  thou  art  lukewarm,  and  neither  cold 
nor  hot,  I  will  spew  thee  out  of  my  mouth. 

17  Because  thou  sayest,  'I  am  rich,  and  increased  with 
goods,  and  have  need  of  nothing;  and  knowest  not  that  thou 
art  wretched,  and  miserable,  and  poor,  and  blind, and  naked: 


churches  shall  know  that  I  am  he  which  searcheth 
the  reins  and  heairts :  and  I  will  give  unto  each  one 

24  of  you  according  to  your  works.  But  to  you  I  say, 
to  the  rest  that  are  in  Thy-a-ti'ra,  as  many  as  have  not 
this  teaching,  which  know  not  the  deep  things  of  Sa'- 
tan,  as  they  say ;  I  cast  upon  you  none  other  burden. 

25  Howbeit  that  which  ye  have,  hold  fast  till  I  come. 

26  And  he  that  overcometh,  and  he  that  keepeth  my 
works  unto  the  end,  to  him  will  I  give  authority  over 

27 the    nations:  and  he  shall  rule  them  with  a  rod  of 

'iron,  as  the  vessels  of  the  potter  are   broken   to 

28  shivers ;  as  I  also  have  received  of  my  Father :  and 

291   will  give  him   the  morning  star.     He  that  hath 

an  ear,  let   him  hear  what   the  Spirit  saith  to  the

God,  and  the  seven  stars:  I  know  thy  works, that  thou 

2  hast  a  name  that  thou  livest,  and  thou  art  dead.  Be 
thou  watchful,  and  stablish  the  things  that  remain, 
which  were  ready  to  die  :  for  I  have  ^found  no  works 

3  of  thine  fulfilled  before  my  God.  Remember  there- 
fore how  thou  hast  received  and  didst  hear;  and  keep 
it,  and  repent.  If  therefore  thou  shalt  not  watch,  I 
will  come  as  a  thief,  and  thou  shalt  not  know  what 

4  hour  I  will  come  upon  thee.  But  thou  hast  a  few 
names  in  Sar'dis  Avhich  did  not  defile  their  garments  : 
and  they  shall  walk  with  me  in  white ;  for  they  are 

5  worthy.  He  that  overcometh  shall  thus  be  arrayed 
in  white  garments ;  and  I  will  in  no  wise  blot  his  name 
out  of  the  book  of  life,  and  I  will  confess  his  name 

6  before  my  Father,  and  before  his  angels.  He  that

none  shall  shut, and  that  shutteth, and  none  openeth: 

8  I  know  thy  works  (behold,  I  have  ^.set  before  thee  a 
door  opened,  which  none  can  shut),  that  thou  hast  a 
little  power,  and  didst  keep  my  word,  and  didst  not 

9  deny  my  name.  Behold,  I  give  of  the  synagogue  of 
Sa'tan,  of  them  which  say  they  are  Jews,  and  they

thou  mayest  be  rich ;  and  'while  raiment,  that  thou  mayest 
be  clothed,  and  that  the  shame  of  thy  nakedness  do  not  appear; 
and  anoint  thine  eyes  with  eyesalve,  that  thou  mayest  see. 

19  'As  many  as  I  love,  I  rebuke  and  chasten:  be  zealous 
therefore,  and  repent. 

20  Behold,  "I  stand  at  the  door,  and  knock :  "if  any  man 
hear  my  voice,  and  open  the  door,  "I  will  come  in  to  him, 
and  will  sup  with  him,  and  he  with  me. 

21  To  him  that  overcometh  "will  I  grant  to  sit  with  me 
in  my  throne,  even  as  I  also  overcame,  and  am  set  down 
with  my  Father  in  his  throne.

CHAPTER    IV. 

The  vision  of  a  throne. 

AFTER  this  I  looked,  and,  behold,  a  door  was  opened  in 
heaven :  and  "the  first  voice  which  I  heard  was  as  it  were 
of  a  trumpet  talking  with  me ;  which  said,  'Come  up  hither, 
'and  I  will  shew  thee  things  which  must  be  hereaiter. 

2  And  immediately  '*i  was  in 'the  Spirit:  and,  behold,  'a 
throne  was  set  in  heaven,  and  one  sat  on  the  throne. 

3  And  he  that  sat  was  to  look  upon  like  a  jasper  and  a 
sardine  stone :  ■'iand  ihere  was  a  rainbow  round  about  the 
throne,  in  sight  like  unto  an  emerald. 

4  "And  round  about  the  throne  were  four  and  twenty  seats ; 
and  upon  the  seats  I  saw  four  and  twenty  elders  sitting, 
"clothed  in  white  raiment ;  *and  they  had  on  their  heads 
crowns  of  gold. 

5  And  out  of  the  throne  proceeded  ^lightnings  and  thun- 


derings  and  voices :    'and    there  were   seven    lamps

"the 


seven 


of  fire 
Spirits 


burning  before  the  throne,  which  are 
of  God. 

6  And  before  the  throne  there  was  "a  sea  of  glass  like  unto 
crystal :  "and  in  the  midst  of  the  throne,  and  round  about 
the  throne,  were  four  beasts  full  of  eyes  before  ''and  behind. 

7  'And  the  first  beast  ivas  like  a  lion,  and  the  second  beast 
like  a  calf,  and  the  third  beast  had  a  face  as  a  man,  and  the 
fourth  bea.st  ivas  like  a  flying  eagle 

8  And  the  four  beasts  had  each  of  them  'six  wings  about 
him  ;  and  they  were  full  of  eyes  'within :  and  ftbey  rest  not 
day  and  night,  saying,  'Holy,  holy,  holy,  "Lord  God  Al- 
mighty, ""which  was,  and  is,  and  is  to  come. 

9  And  when  those  beasts  give  glory  and  honour  and  thanks 
to  him  that  sat  on  the  throne,  "who  liveth  for  ever  and  ever, 

10  'The  four  and  twenty  elders  fall  down  before  him  that 
sat  on  the  throne,  "and  worship  him  that  liveth  for  ever  and 
ever,  *and  cast  their  crowns  before  the  throne,  saying, 

11  "Thou  art  worthy,  O  Lord,  to  receive  glory,  and  hon- 
our, and  power :  ''for  thou  hast  created  all  things,  and  for 
thy  pleasure  they  are  and  were  created. 

CHAPTER   V. 

The  book  sealed  with  seven  seals. 

AND  I  saw  in  the  right  hand   of  him  that  sat  on  the 
throne  a  "book  written  within  and  on  the   back  side, 
""sealed  with  seven  seals. 

2  And  I  saw  a  strong  angel  proclaiming  with  a  loud  voice. 
Who  is  worthy  to  open  the  book,  and  to  loose  the  seals  thereof? 

3  And  no  man  ''in  heaven,  nor  in  earth,  neither  under  the 
earth,  was  able  to  open  the  book,  neither  to  look  thereon. 

4  And  I  wept  much,  because  no  man  was  found  worthy  to 
open  and  to  read  the  book,  neither  to  look  thereon. 

5  And  one  of  the  elders  saith  unto  me.  Weep  not :  behold, 
''the  Lion  of  the  tribe  of  Jii'da,  'the  Rootof  Da'vid,  hath  pre- 
vailed to  open  the  book,  and  ■'^to  loo.se  the  seven  seals  thereof. 

6  And  I  beheld,  and  lo,  in  the  midst  of  the  throne,.and  of  the 
four  beasts,  and  in  the  mid.st  of  the  elders,  stood  "a  Lamb  as 
it  had  been  slain,  having  .seven  horns,  and  *seven  eyes,  which 
are  'the  seven  Spirits  of  God  sent  forth  into  all  the  earth.     J 


181  counsel  thee  to  buy  of  me  gold  refined  by  fire,  that 
thou  mayest  become  rich;  and  white  garments, that 
thou  mayest  clothe  thyself,  and  that  the  shame  of  thy 
nakedness  be  not  made  manifest;    and  eyesalve  to 

19  anoint  thine  eyes,  that  thou  mayest  see.  As  many  as 
I  love,  I  reprove  and  chasten :  be  zealous  therefore, 

20 and  repent.  Behold,  I  stand  at  the  door  and  knock: 
if  any  man  hear  my  voice  and  open  the  door,  I  will 
come  in  to  him,  and  will  sup  with  him,  and  he  with 

21  me.  He  that  overcometh,  I  will  give  to  him  to  sit 
down  with  me  in  my  throne,  as  I  also  overcame,  and 

22  sat  down  with  my  Father  in  his  throne.  He  that  hath 
an  ear,let  him  hear  what  theSpirit  saith  tothechurches 

^  After  these  things  I  saw,  and  behold,  a  door  opened 
in  heaven,  and  the  first  voice  which  I  heard,  a  voice 
as  of  a  trumpet  speaking  with  me,  one  saying.  Come 
up  hither,  and  I  will  shew  thee  the  things  which  must 

2 'come  to  pass  hereafter.  Straightway  I  was  in  the 
Spirit:  and  behold,  there  was  a  throne  set  in  heaven, 

3 and  one  sitting  upon  the  throne;  and  he  that  sat  was 
to  look  upon  like  a  jasper  stone  and  a  sardius:  and 
there  was  a  rainbow  round  about  the  throne,  like  an 

4  emerald  to  look  upon.  And  round  about  the  throne 
were  four  and  twenty  thrones :  and  upon  the  thrones 
I  saio  four  and  twenty  elders  sitting,  arrayed  in  white 

5  garments ;  and  on  their  heads  crown  of  gold.  And 
out  of  the  throne  proceed  lightnings  and  voices  and 
thunders.  And  there  were  seven  lamps  of  fire  burn- 
ing before  the  throne,  which  are  the  seven  Spirits  of 

6  God ;  and  before  the  throne,  as  it  were  a  glassy  sea 
like  unto  crystal ;  and  in  the  midst  of  the  throne,  and 
round  about  the  throne,  four  living  creatures  full  of 

7  eyes  before  and  behind.  And  the  first  creature  was 
like  a  lion,  and  the  second  creature  like  a  calf,  and 
the  third  creature  had  a  face  as  of  a   man,  and  the 

8  fourth  creature  was  like  a  flying  eagle.  And  the  four 
living  creatures,  having  each  one  of  them  six  wings, 
are  full  of  eyes  round  about  and  within:  and  they  have 
no  rest  day  and  night,  saying,  Holy,  holy,  holy,  is  the 
Lord  God,  the  Almighty,  which  was  and  which  is  and 

9^which  is  to  come.  And  when  the  living  creatures 
shall  give  glory  and  honour  and  thanks  to  him  that 
sitteth  on  the  throne,  to  him  that  liveth  'for  ever  and 

10  ever,  the  four  and  twenty  elders  shall  fall  down  before 
him  that  sitteth  on  the  throne,  and  shall  Avorship  him 
that  liveth  'for  ever  and  ever,  and  shall  cast   their 

11  crowns  before  the  throne,  saying,  Worthy  art  thou, 
our  Lord  and  our  God,  to  receive  the  glory  and  the 
honourandthe  power:  for  thou  didst  create  all  things, 
and  because  of  thy  will  they  were,  and  were  created.

the  throne  a  book  written  within  and  on  the  back, 

2  close  sealed  with  seven  seals.  And  I  saw  a  strong 
angel  proclaiming  with  a  great  voice,  Who  is  worthy 
to   open   the   book,  and  to  loose  the  seals  thereof? 

3  And  no  one  in  the  heaven,  or  on  the  earth,  or  under 
the  earth,  was  able  to  open  the  book,  or  to  look  thereon. 

4  And  I  wept  much,  because  no  one  was  found  worthy 

5  to  open  the  book,  or  to  look  thereon :  and  one  of  the 
elders  saith  unto  me,  Weep  not :  behold,  the  Lion 
that  is  of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah,  the  Root  of  Da'vid,  hath 
overcome,  to  open  the  book  and  the  seven  seals  there-

the  four  living  creatures,  and  in  the  nidst  of  the 
elders,  a  Lamb  standing,  as  though  it  had  been  slain, 
having  seven  horns,  and  seven  eyes,  which  are  the 
•seven  Spirits  of  God,  sent  forth  into  all  the  earth.

7  And  he  came  and  took  the  book  out  of  the  right  hand 
*of  him  that  sat  upon  the  throne. 

8  And  when  he  had  taken  the  book,  the  four  beasts  and 
four  and  twenty  elders  fell  down  before  the  Lamb,  having 
every  one  of  them  "harps,  and  golden  vials  full  of  ||  odours, 
"which  are  the  prayers  of  saints. 

9  And  "they  sung  a  new  song,  saying,  ''Thou  art  worthy 
to  take  the  book,  and  to  open  the  seals  thereof:  'for  thou 
wast  slain,  and  ""hast  redeemed  us  to  God  by  thy  blood  'out 
of  every  kindred,  and  tongue,  and  people,  and  nation ; 

10  'And  hast  made  us  unto  our  God  kings  and  priests: 
and  we  shall  reign  on  the  earth. 

11  And  I  beheld,  and  I  heard  the  voice  of  many  angels 
"round  about  the  throne,  and  the  beasts,  and  the  elders :  and 
the  number  of  them  was  ^ten  thousand  times  ten  thousand, 
and  thousands  of  thousands ; 

12  Saying  with  a  loud  voice,  "Worthy  is  the  Lamb  that 
was  slain  to  receive  power,  and  riches,  and  wisdom,  and 
strength,  and  honour,  and  glory,  and  blessing. 

13  And  'every  creature  which  is  iu  heaven,  and  on  the 
earth,  and  under  the  earth,  and  such  as  are  in  the  sea,  and 
all  that  are  in  them,  heard  I  saying,  "Blessing,  and  honour, 
and  glory,  and  power,  be  unto  him  'that  sitteth  upon  the 
throne,  and  unto  the  Lamb  for  ever  and  ever. 

14  "And  the  four  beasts  said,  Amen.  And  the  four  a7id 
twenty  elders  fell  down  and  worshi2)ped  him  ''that  liveth  for 
ever  and  ever. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

Thf  opening  of  the  seals. 

AND  "I   saw  when  the  Lamb  opened  one  of  the  seals, 
and  I  heard,  as  it  were  the  noise  of  thunder,  'one  of  the 
four  beasts,  saying.  Come  and  see. 

2  And  I  saw,  and  behold  "a  white  horse :  ''and  he  that 
sat  on  him  had  a  bow ;  'and  a  crown  was  given  unto  him : 
and  he  went  forth  conquering,  and  to  conquer. 

3  And  when  he  had  opened  the  second  seal,  '\  heard  the 
second  beast  say.  Come  and  see. 

4  "And  there  went  out  another  horse  ihat  was  red :  and 
power  was  given  to  him  that  sat  thereon  to  take  peace  from 
the  earth,  and  that  they  should  kill  one  another:  and  there 
was  given  unto  him  a  great  sword. 

5  And  when  he  had  opened  the  third  seal,  *!  heard  the 
third  beast  say,  Come  and  see.  And  I  beheld,  and  lo  'a 
black  horse ;  and  he  that  sat  on  him  had  a  pair  of  balances 
in  his  hand. 

6  And  I  heard  a  voice  in  the  midst  of  the  four  beasts  say, 
II  A  measure  of  wheat  for  a  penny,  and  three  measures  of 
barley  for  a  penny;  and  ''see  thou  hurt  not  the  oil  and  the 
svine. 

7  And  when  he  had  opened  the  fourth  seal,  'I  heard  the 
voice  of  the  fourth  beast  say.  Come  and  see. 

8  '"And  I  looked,  and  behold  a  pale  hor.se :  and  his  name 
that  sat  on  him  was  Death,  and  hell  followed  with  him. 
And  power  was  given  ||  unto  them  over  the  fourth  part  of 
the  earth,  "to  kill  with  sword,  and  with  hunger,  and  with 
death,  "and  with  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

9  And  when  he  had  opened  the  fifth  seal,  I  saw  under 
'the  altar  ""the  souls  of  them  that  were  slain  'for  the  word 
of  God,  and  for  'the  testimony  which  they  held: 

10  And  they  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  "How  long, 
O  Lord,  "^holy  and  true,  "dost  thou  not  judge  and  avenge 
our  blood  on  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth  ? 

11  And  'white  robes  were  given  unto  every  one  of  them; 
and  it  was  said  unto  them,  "that  they  should  rest  yet  for  a 
little  season,  until  their  fellow  servants  also  and  their 
brethren,  that  should  be  killed  as  they  were,  should  be 
fulfilled. 

12  And  I  beheld  when  he  had  opened  the  sixth  .seal, 
*and,  lo,  there  was  a  great  earthquake;  and  "^the  sun  became 


7  And  he  came,  and  he  'taKeth  it  out  of  the  right  hand 

8  of  him  that  sat  on  the  throne.  And  when  he  had  taken 
the  book,  the  four  living  creatures  and  the  four  and 
twenty  elders  fell  down  before  the  Lamb,  having  each 
one  a  harp,  and  golden  bowls  full  of  incense,  which  are 

9  the  prayers  of  the  saints.  And  they  sing  a  new  song, 
saying.  Worthy  art  thou  to  take  the  book,  and  to  open 
the  seals  thereof:  for  thou  wast  slain,  and  didst  pur- 
chase unto  God  with  thy  blood  men  of  every  tribe, 

10  and  tongue,  and  people,  and  nation,  and  madest  them 
to  be  unto  our  God  a  kingdom  and  priests ;  and  they 

11  reign  upon  the  earth.  And  I  saw,  and  I  heard  a  voice 
of  many  angels  round  about  the  throne  and  the  living 
creatures  and  the  elders ;  and  the  number  of  them  was 
ten  thousand  times  ten  thousand,  and  thousands  of 

12 thousands;  saying  with  a  great  voice.  Worthy  is  the 
Lamb  that  bath  been  slain  to  receive  the  power,  and 
riches,  and  wisdom,  and  might,  and  honour,  and  glory, 

13  and  blessing.  And  every  created  thing  which  is  in 
the  heaven,  and  on"  the  earth,  and  under  the  earth, 
and  on  the  sea,  and  all  things  that  are  in  them,  heard 
I  saying,  Unto  him  that  sitteth  on  the  throne,  and 
unto  the  Lamb,  be  the  blessing,  and  the  honour,  and 
the  glory,  and  the    dominion,  %r   ever   and  ever 

14  And  the  four  living  creatures  said,  Amen.  And  the 
elders  fell  down  and  worshipped. 

0  And  I  saw  when  the  Lamb  opened  one  of  the 
seven  seals,  and  I  heard  one  of  the  four  living  crea 

2tures  saying  as  with  a  voice  of  thunder,  Come^.    And 
I  saw,  and  behold,  a  white  horse,  and  he  that  sat  there 
on  had  a  bow ;  and  there  Avas  given  unto  him  a  crown  : 
and  he  came  forth  conquering,  and  to  conquer. 

3  And  when  he  opened  the  second  seal,  I  heard  the 

4  second  living  creature  saying,  Come^  And  another 
horse  came  forth,  a  red  horse:  and  to  him  that  sat 
thereon  it  was  giv^en  to  take  *peace  from  the  earth, 
and  that  they  should  slay  one  another:  and  there 
was  given  unto  him  a  great  sword. 

,5  And  M'hen  he  opened  the  third  seal,  I  heard  the 
third  living  creature  saying,  Come'.  And  I  saw 
and  behold,  a  black  horse;  and  he  that  sat  thereon 

6  had   a  balance    in    his   hand.     And   I  heard    as  it 
were  a  voice  in   the  midst  of  the  four  living  crea 
tures,  saying,  A  "measure  of  wheat  for  a  'penny,  and 
three  measures  of  barley  for  a  *penny ;  and  the  oil 
and  the  wine  hurt  thou  not. 

7  And  when  he  opened  the  fourth  seal,  I  heard  the 
voice  of  the   fourth   living  creature,  saying.  Come'. 

8 And  I  saw,  and  behold,  a  pale  horse:  and  he  that 
sat  upon  him,  his  name  was  Death ;  and  Ha'des  fol- 
lowed with  him.  And  there  was  given  unto  them 
authority  over  the  fourth  part  of  the  earth,  to  kill 
with  sword,  and  with  famine,  and  with  'death,  and 
by  the  wild  beasts  of  the  earth. 
9  And  when  he  opened  the  fifth  seal,  I  saw  under- 
neath the  altar  the  souls  of  them  that  had  been  slain 
for  the  word  of  God,  aud  for  the  testimony  which 

10 they  held:  and  they  cried  with  a  great  voice, saying, 
How  long,  O  Master,  the  holy  and  true,  dost  thou 
not  judge  and  avenge  our  blood  on  them  that  dwell 

lion  the  earth?  And  there  was  given  them  to  each 
one  a  white  robe;  and  it  was  said  unto  them,  that 
they  should  rest  yet  for  a  little  time,  until  their  fel- 
low-servants also  and  their  brethren,  which  should 
be  killed  even  as  they  Avere,  should  'be  fulfilled. 

12  And  I  saw  when  he  opened  the  sixth  seal,  and 
there  was  a  great  earthquake ;  and  the  sun  became

CHAPTER    VII. 

The  number  q/  the  sealed. 

AND  after  these  things  I  saw  four  angels  standing  on  the 
four  corners  of  the  earth,  "holding  the  four  winds  of  the 
earth,  'that  the  wind  should  not  blow  on  the  earth,  nor  on 
the  sea,  nor  on  any  tree. 

2  And  I  saw  another  angel  ascending  from  the  east,  hav- 
ing the  seal  of  the  living  God :  and  he  cried  with  a  loud 
voice  to  the  four  angels,  to  whom  it  was  given  to  hurt  the 
earth  and  the  sea, 

3  Saying,  'Hurt  not  the  earth,  neither  the  sea,  nor  the 
trees,  till  we  have  ''sealed  the  servants  of  our  God  'in  their 
foreheads. 

4  ■''And  I  heard  the  number  of  them  which  were  sealed: 
and  there  were  sealed  "a  hundred  and  forty  and  four  thou- 
sand of  all  the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Of  the  tribe  of  Ju'da  were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of 
the  tribe  of  Reu'ben  were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the 
tribe  of  Gad  were  sealed  twelve  shousand. 

6  Of  the  tribe  of  As'er  were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of 
the  tribe  of  Neph'tha-lim  were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of 
the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'ses  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 

7  Of  the  tribe  of  Sim'e-on  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 
Of  the  tribe  of  Le'vi  were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the 
tribe  of  Is'sa-char  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 

8  Of  the  tribe  of  Zab'u-lon  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 
Of  the  tribe  of  Jo'seph  were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the 
tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  were  sealed  twelve  thousand. 

9  After  this  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  'a  great  multitude,  which  no 
man  could  number,  'of  all  nations,  and  kindreds,  and  people, 
and  tongues,  stood  before  the  throne,  and  before  the  Lamb, 
*clothed  with  white  robes,  and  palms  in  their  hands; 

10  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  'Salvation  to  our 
God  ""which  sitteth  upon  the  throne,  and  unto  the  Lamb. 

11  "And  all  the  angels  stood  round  about  the  throne,  and 
about  the  elders  and  the  four  beasts,  arid  fell  before  the 
throne  on  their  faces,  and  worshipped  God. 

12  "Saying,  Amen:  Blessing,  and  glory,  and  wisdom,  and 
thanksgiving,  and  honour,  and  ipower,  and  might,  be  unto 
our  God  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

13  And  one  of  the  elders  answered,  saying  unto  me,  What 
are  these  which  are  arrayed  in  "white  robes  ?  and  whence 
came  they  ? 

14  And  I  said  unto  him.  Sir,  thou  knowest.  And  he  said 
to  me,  "These  are  they  which  came  out  of  great  tribulation, 
and  have  'washed  their  robes,  and  made  them  white  in  the 
blood  of  the  Lamb. 

15  Therefore  are  they  before  the  throne  of  God,  and  serve 
him  day  and  night  in  his  temple  :  and  he  that  sitteth  on  the 
throne  shall  'dwell  among  them. 

16  'They  shall  hunger  no  more,  neither  thirst  any  more; 
"neither  shall  the  sun  light  on  them,  nor  any  heat. 


black  as  sackcloth  of  hair,  and  the  whole  moon  be- 

13 came  as  blood;    and   the    stars   of  the   heaven  fell 

unto  the  earth,  as  a  fig  tree  casteth  her  unripe  figs, 

14  when  she  is  shaken  of  a  great  wind.  And  the 
heaven  was  removed  as  a  scroll  when  it  is  rolled  up ; 
and  every  mountain  and  island  were  moved  out  of 

15  their  places.  And  the  kings  of  the  earth,  and  the 
princes,  and  the  'chief  captains,  and  the  rich,  and 
the  strong,  and  every  bondman  and  freeman,  hid 
themselves  in   the    caves   and    in  the  rocks  of  the 

16 mountains;  and  they  say  to  the  mountains  and  to 
the  rocks,  Fall  on  us,  and  hide  us  from  the  face  of 
him  that  sitteth  on  the  throne,  and  from  the  wrath 

17  of  the  Lamb:  for  the  great  day  of  their  wrath  is 
come;  and  who  is  able  to  stand? 

*  After  this  I  saw  four  angels  standing  at  the  four 
corners  of  the  earth,  holding  the  four  winds  of  the 
earth,  that  no  wind  should  blow  On  the  earth  or  on 

2  the  sea,  or  upon  any  tree.  And  I  saw  another  angel 
ascend  from  the  sunrising,  having  the  seal  of  the 
living  God :  and  he  cried  with  a  great  voice  to  the 
four  angels,  to  whom  it  was  given  to  hurt  the  earth 

3  and  the  sea,  saying.  Hurt  not  the  earth,  neither  the 
sea,  nor  the  trees,  till  we  shall  have  sealed  the  servants 

4  of  our  God  on  their  foreheads.  And  I  heard  the 
number  of  them  which  were  sealed,  a  hundred  and 
forty  and  four  thousand,  sealed  out  of  every  tribe 
of  the  children  of  Is'ra-el. 

5  Of  the  tribe  of  Ju'dah  were  sealed  twelve  thousand : 
Of  the  tribe  of  Reu'ben  twelve  thousand : 

Of  the  tribe  of  Gad  twelve  thousand : 

6  Of  the  tribe  of  Ash'er  twelve  thousand : 
Of  the  tribe  of  Naph'ta-li  twelve  thousand : 
Of  the  tribe  of  Ma-nas'seh  twelve  thousand : 

7  Of  the  tribe  of  Sim'e-on  twelve  thousand : 
Of  the  tribe  of  Le'vi  twelve  thousand : 
Of  the  tribe  of  Is'sa-char  twelve  thousand : 

8  Of  the  tribe  of  Zeb'u-lun  twelve  thousand: 
Of  the  tribe  of  Jo'seph  twelve  thousand: 

Of  the  tribe  of  Ben'ja-min  were  sealed  twelve  thou- 
sand. 

9  After  these  things  I  saw,  and  behold,  a  great  multi- 
tude, which  no  man  could  number,  out  of  every 
nation,  and  of  all  tribes  and  peoples  and  tongues, 
standing  before  the  throne  and  before  the  Lamb, 
arrayed    in  white  robes,  and  palms  in  their  hands; 

10  and  they  cry  with  a  great  voice,  saying.  Salvation 
unto  our  God  which  sitteth  on  the  throne,  and  unto 

lithe  Lamb.  And  all  the  angels  were  standing  round 
about  the  throne,  and  about  the  elders  and  the  four 
living  creatures ;  and  they  fell  before  the  throne  on 

12  their  faces,  and   worshipped    God,   saying.   Amen 
^Blessing,  and  glory,  and  wisdom,  and  thanksgiving, 
and    honour,   and    power,  and  might,  be  unto  our 

13  God 'for  ever  and  ever.  Amen.  And  one  of  the 
elders  answered,  saying  unto  me,  These  which  are 
arrayed    in   the   white    robes,    who    are    they,    and 

14  whence  came  they  ?  And  I  *say  unto  him.  My 
lord,  thou  knowest.  And  he  said  to  me.  These  are 
they  which  come  out  of  the  great  tribulation,  and 
they  washed   their  robes,  and  made  them  white  in 

15  the  blood  of  the  Lamb.  Therefore  are  they  before 
the  throne  of  God ;  and  they  serve  him  day  and 
night  in  his  temple:  and  he    that    sitteth    on   the 

16  throne  shall  spread  his  tabernacle  over  them.  They 
shall  hunger  no  more,  neither  thirst  any  more; 
neither  shall  the  sun  strike  upon  them,  nor  any  heat :

CHAPTER    VIII. 

Seven  angels  with  seven  trumpets. 

AND  "when  he  had  opened  the  seventh  seal,  there  was 
silence  in  heaven  about  the  space  of  half  an  hour. 

2  'And  I  saw  the  seven  angels  which  stood  before  God; 
"and  to  them  were  given  seven  trumpets. 

3  And  another  angel  came  and  stood  at  the  altar,  having 
a  golden  censer;  and  there  was  given  unto  him  much  in- 
cense, that  he  should  ||  offer  it  with  ''the  prayers  of  all  saints 
upon  'the  golden  altar  which  was  before  the  throne. 

4  And  •''the  smoke  of  the  incense,  which  came  with  the 
prayers  of  the  saints,  ascended  up  before  God  out  of  the 
angel's  hand. 

5  And  the  angel  took  the  censer,  and  filled  it  with  fire  of 
the  altar,  and  cast  it  ||  into  the  earth:  and  "there  were 
voices,  and  thunderings,  and  lightnings,  ''and  an  earth- 
quake. 

6  And  the  seven  angels  which  had  the  seven  trumpets 
prepared  themselves  to  sound. 

7  The  first  angel  sounded,  'and  there  followed  hail  and 
fire  mingled  with  blood,  and  they  were  cast  *upon  the 
earth :  and  the  third  part  'of  trees  was  burnt  up,  and  all 
green  grass  was  burnt  up. 

8  And  the  second  angel  sounded,  "and  as  it  were  a  great 
mountain  burning  with  fire  was  cast  into  the  sea:  "and  the 
third  part  of  the  sea  "became  blood ; 

9  "And  the  third  part  of  the  creatures  which  were  in  the 
sea,  and  had  life,  died ;  and  the  third  part  of  the  ships  were 
destroyed. 

10  And  the  third  angel  sounded,  'and  there  fell  a  great 
star  from  heaven,  burning  as  it  were  a  lamp,  ""and  it  fell 
upon  tne  third  part  of  the  rivers,  and  upon  the  fountains  of 
waters ; 

11  'And  the  name  of  the  star  i&  called  Wormwood:  'and 
the  third  part  of  the  waters  became  wormwood ;  and  many 
men  died  of  the  waters,  because  they  were  made  bitter. 

12  "And  the  fourth  angel  sounded,  and  the  third  part  of 
the  sun  was  smitten,  and  the  third  part  of  the  moon,  and 
the  third  part  of  the  stars ;  so  as  the  third  part  of  them  was 
darkened,  and  the  day  shone  not  for  a  third  part  of  it,  and 
the  night  likewise. 

13  And  I  beheld,  *and  heard  an  angel  flying  through  the 
midst  of  heaven,  saying  with  a  loud  voice,  "Woe,  woe,  woe,  to 
the  inhabiters  of  the  earth,  by  reason  of  the  other  voices  of 
the  trumpet  of  the  three  angels,  which  are  yet  to  sound  I 

'CHAPTER    IX. 

A  star  falleth  from  heaven. 

AND  the  fifth  angel   sounded,   "and    I    saw    a    star    fall 
from  heaven  unto  the  earth :  and  to  him  was  given  the 
key  of 'the  bottomle-ss  pit. 

2  And  he  opened  the  bottomless  pit;  "and  there  arose  a  smoke 
out  of  the  pit,  as  the  smoke  of  a  great  furnace ;  and  the  sun 
and  the  air  were  darkened  by  reason  of  the  smoke  of  the  pit. 

3  And  there  came  out  of  the  smoke  ''locusts  upon  the 
earth :  and  unto  them  was  given  power,  'as  the  scorpions  of 
the  earth  have  power. 

4  And  it  was  commanded  them  -^that  they  should  not  hurt 
"the  grass  of  tiie  earth,  neither  any  green  thing,  neither  any 
tree ;  but  only  those  men  which  have  not  "^the  seal  of  God 
in  the'.r  foreheads. 

5  And  to  them  it  was  given  that  they  should  not  kill  them, 
'butthatthey  should  be  tormented  five  months:  and  their  tor- 
ment was  as  the  torment  of  a  scorpion,  when  he  striketh  a  man. 

6  And  in  those  days  *shall  men  seek  death,  and  shall  not 
find  it;  and  shall  desire  to  die,  and  death  shall  flee  from  them. 


17  For  the  Lamb  which  is  in  the  midst  of  the  throne 
shall  be  their  shepherd,  and  shall  guide  them  unto 
fountains  of  waters  of  life:  and  God  shall  wipe  away 
ev6ry  tear  from  their  eyes. 

O  And  when  he  opened  the  seventh  seal,  there  fol- 
lowed a  silence  in  heaven  about  the  space  of  half  an 

2  hour.  And  I  saw  the  seven  angels  which  stand  before 
God ;  and  there  were  given  unto  them  seven  trumpets. 

3  And  another  angel  came  and  stood  'over  the  altar, 
having  a  golden  censer;  and  there  was  given  unto 
him  much  incense,  that  he  should  ^add  it  unto  the 
prayers  of  all  the  saints  upon  the  golden  altar  which 

4  was  before  the  throne.  And  the  smoke  of  the  in- 
cense, ^with  the  prayers  of  the  saints,  went  up  before 

5  Grod  out  of  the  angel's  hand.  And  the  angel  *taketh 
the  censer ;  and  he  filled  it  with  the  fire  of  the  altar, 
and  cast  it  ^upon  the  earth :  and  there  followed  thun- 
ders, and  voices,  and  lightnings,  and  an  earthquake. 

6  And  the  seven  angels  which  had  the  seven  trum- 
pets prepared  themselves  to  sound. 

7  And  the  first  sounded,  and  there  followed  hail  and 
fire,  mingled  with  blood,  and  they  were  cast  'upon 
the  earth :  and  the  third  part  of  the  earth  was  burnt 
up,  and  the  third  part  of  the  trees  was  burnt  up,  and 
all  green  grass  was  burnt  up. 

8  And  the  second  angel  sounded,  and  as  it  were  a 
great  mountain  burning  with  fire  was  cast  into  the 
sea :  and  the  third    part  of  the  sea  became  blood ; 

9  and  there  died  the  third  part  of  the  creatures  which 
were  in  the  sea,  even  they  that  had  life;  and  the 
third  part  of  the  ships  was  destroyed. 

10  And  the  third  angel  sounded,  and  there  fell  from 
heaven  a  great  star,  burning  as  a  torch,  and  it  fell 
upon  the   third  part  of  the  rivers,    and    upon   the 

11  fountains  of  the  waters;  and  the  name  of  the  star 
is  called  Wormwood:  and  the  third  part  of  the 
waters  became  wormwood;  and  many  men  died  of 
the  waters,  because  they  were  made  bitter. 

12  And  the  fourth  angel  sounded,  and  the  third  part  of 
the  sun  was  smitten,  and  the  third  part  of  the  moon, 
and  the  third  part  of  the  stars;  that  the  third  part  or 
them  should  be  darkened,  and  the  day  should  not 
shine  for  the  third  part  of  it,  and  the  night  in  like 
manner. 

13  And  I  saw,  and  I  heard  "an  eagle,  flying  in  mid 
heaven,  saying  with  a  great  voice.  Woe,  woe,  woe, 
for  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth,  by  reason  of  the 
other  voices  of  the  trumpet  of  the  three  angels,  who 
are  yet  to  sound. 

V  And  the  fifth  angel  sounded,  and  I  saw  a  star  from 
heaven  fallen  unto  the  earth  :  and  there  was  given  to 

2  him  the  key  of  the  pit  of  the  abyss.  And  he  opened 
the  pit  of  the  abyss ;  and  there  went  up  a  smoke  out  of 
the  pit,  as  the  smoke  of  a  great  furnace;  and  the  sun 
and  the  air  were  darkened  by  reason  of  the  smoke  of 

3  the  pit.  And  out  of  the  smoke  came  forth  locusts 
upon  the  eai'th;  and  power  was  given  them,  as  the 

4  scorpions  of  the  earth  have  power.  And  it  was  said 
unto  them  that  they  should  not  hurt  the  grass  of  the 
earth,  neither  any  green  thing,  neither  any  tree,  but 
only  such  men  as  have  not  the  seal  of  God  on  their 

5  foreheads.  And  it  was  given  them  that  they  should 
not  kill  them,  but  that  they  should  be  tormented  five 
months :  and  their  torment  was  as  the  torment  of  a 

6  scorpion,  when  it  striketh  a  man.  And  in  those  days 
men  shall  seek  death,  and  shall  in  no  wise  find  it ;  and 
they  shall  desire  to  die,  and  death  fleeth  from  them.

7  And  'the  shapes  of  the  locusts  were  like  unto  horses 
prepared  unto  battle ;  ""and  on  their  heads  were  as  it  were 
crowns  like  gold,  "and  their  faces  WCT-e  as  the  faces  of  men. 

8  And  they  had  hair  as  the  hair  of  women,  and  "their 
teeth  were  as  the  teeth  of  lions. 

9  And  they  had  breastplates,  as  it  were  breastplates  of 
iron;  and  the  sound  of  their  wings  was  ^as  the  sound  of 
chariots  of  many  horses  running  to  battle. 

10  And  they  had  tails  like  unto  scorpions,  and  there  were 
stings  in  their  tails :  'and  their  power  was  to  hurt  men  five 
months. 

11  ""And  they  had  a  king  over  them,  which  is  'the  angel 
of  the  bottomless  pit,  whose  name  in  the  Hebrew  tongue  is 
A-bad'don,but  in  the  Greek  tongue  hath  his  name  |lA-pol'ly-on. 

12  'One  woe  is  past;  and,  behold,  there  come  two  woes 
more  hereafter. 

13  And  the  sixth  angel  sounded,  and  I  heard  a  voice  from 
the  four  horns  of  the  golden  altar  which  is  before  God, 

14  Saying  to  the  sixth  angel  which  had  the  trumpet.  Loose 
the  four  angels  which  are  bound  "in  the  great  river  Eu-phra'tes. 

15  And  the  four  angels  were  loosed,  which  were  prepared 
II  for  an  hour,  and  a  day,  and  a  month,  and  a  year,  for  to 
slay  the  third  part  of  men. 

16  And  ^the  number  of  the  army  "of  the  horsemen  were  two 
hundred  thousand  thousand;  'and  I  heard  the  number  of  them. 

17  And  thus  I  saw  the  horses  in  the  vision,  and  them  that 
sat  on  them,  having  breastplates  of  fire,  and  of  jacinth,  and 
brimstone :  "and  the  heads  of  the  horses  were  as  the  heads 
of  lions ;  and  out  of  their  mouths  issued  fire  and  smoke  and 
brimstone. 

18  By  these  three  was  the  third  part  of  men  killed,  by  the 
fire,  and  by  the  smoke,  and  by  the  brimstone,  which  issued 
out  of  their  mouths. 

19  For  their  power  is  in  their  mouth,  and  in  their  tails : 
'for  their  tails  were  like  unto'  serpents,  and  had  heads,  and 
with  them  they  do  hurt. 

20  And  the  rest  of  the  men  which  were  not  killed  by  these 
plagues  ''yet  repented  not  of  the  works  of  their  hands,  that 
they  should  not  worship  ''devils,  *and  idols  of  gold,  and 
silver,  and  brass,  and  stone,  and  of  wood :  which  neither 
can  see,  nor  hear,  nor  walk: 

21  Neither  repented  they  of  their  murders,  •'nor  of  their 
sorceries,  nor  of  their  fornication,  nor  of  their  thefts. 

CHAPTER    X. 

A  mighty  angel  with  a  book. 

AND  I  saw  another  mighty  angel  come  down  from  heaven 
clothed  with acloud:  "andarainbowwos  upon  his  head,and 
""his  face  was  as  it  were  the  sun,  and  "his  feet  as  pillars  of  fire : 

2  And  he  had  in  his  hand  a  little  book  open :  ''and  he  set 
his  right  foot  upon  the  sea,  and  his  left/oo<  on  the  earth, 

3  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  as  tuheii  a  lion  roareth : 
and  when  he  had  cried,  'seven  thunders  uttered  their  voices. 

4  And  when  the  seven  thunders  had  uttered  their  voices, 
I  was  about  to  write :  and  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  say- 
ing unto  me, ■'Seal  up  those  things  which  the  seven  thunders 
uttered,  and  write  them  not. 

5  And  the  angel  which  I  saw  stand  upon  the  sea  and  upon 
the  earth  "lifted  up  his  hand  to  heaven, 

6  And  sware  by  him  that  liveth  for  ever  and  ever,  *who 
created  heaven,  and  the  things  that  therein  are,  and  the 
earth,  and  the  things  that  therein  are,  and  the  sea,  and  the 
things  which  are  therein,  'that  there  should  be  time  no  longer : 

7  But  '^in  the  days  of  the  voice  of  the  seventh  angel,  when 
he  shall  begin  to  sound,  the  mystery  of  God  should  be 
finished,  as  he  hath  declared  to  his  servants  the  prophets. 

8  And  'the  voice  which  I  heard  from  heaven  spake  unto 
me  again,  and  said.  Go,  and  take  the  little  book  which  is 
open  in  the  hand  of  the  angel  which  standeth  upon  the  sea 
and  upon  the  earth. 


7  And  the  'shapes  of  the  locusts  were  like  unto  horses 
prepared  for  war;  and  upon  their  heads  as  it  were 
crowns  like  unto  gold,  and  their  faces  were  as  men's 

8  faces.     And  they  had  hair  as  the  hair  of  women,  and 

9  their  teeth  were  as  the  teeth  of  lions.  And  they  had 
breastplates,  as  it  were  breastplates  of  iron ;  and  the 
sound  of  their  wings  was  as  the  sound  of  chariots,  of 

10  many  horses  rushing  to  war.  And  they  have  tails 
like  unto  scorpions,  and  stings;  and  in  their  tails  is 

11  their  power  to  hurt  men  five  months.  They  have 
over  them  as  king  the  angel  of  the  abyss :  his  name 
in  Hebrew  is  A-bad'don,  and  in  the  Greek  tongue  he 
hath  the  name  ^A-pol'ly-on. 

12  The  first  Woe  is  past:  behold,  there  come  yet  two 
Woes  hereafter. 

13  And  the  sixth  angel  sounded,  and  I  heard  'a  voice 
from  the  horns  of  the  golden  altar  which  is  before 

14  God,  one  saying  to  the  sixth  angel,  which  had  the 
trumpet,  Loose  the  four  angels  which  are  bound  at 

1 5  the  great  river  Eu-phra'tes.  And  the  four  angels  were 
loosed,  which  had  been  prepared  for  the  hour  and  day 
and  month  and  year,  that  they  should  kill  the  third 

16  part  of  men.  And  the  number  of  the  armies  of  the 
horsemen  was  twice  ten  thousand  times  ten  thou 

17  sand  :  I  heard  the  number  of  them.  And  thus  I  saw 
the  horses  in  the  vision,  and  them  that  sat  on  them, 
having  breastplates  as  of  fire  and  of  hyacinth  and  of 
brimstone :  and  the  heads  of  the  horses  are  as  the 
heads  of  lions ;  and  out  of  their  mouths  proceedeth 

18  fire  and  smoke  and  brimstone.  By  these  three  plagues 
was  the  third  part  of  men  killed,  by  the  fire  and  the 
smoke  and  the  brimstone,  which  proceeded  out  of 

19  their  mouths.  For  the  power  of  the  horses  is  in  their 
mouth,  and  in  their  tails :  for  their  tails  are  like  unto 
serpents,  and  have  heads ;   and  with  them  they  do 

20  hurt.  And  the  rest  of  mankind,  which  were  not 
killed  with  these  plagues,  repented  not  of  the  works 
of  their  hands,  that  they  should  not  worship  ^devils, 
and  the  idols  of  gold,  and  of  silver,  and  of  brass,  and 
of  stone,  and  of  wood ;  which  can   neither  see,  nor 

21  hear,  nor  walk :  and  they  repented  not  of  their  mur- 
ders, nor  of  their  sorceries,  nor  of  their  fornication, 
nor  of  their  thefts. 

iv     And  I  saw  another  strong  angel  coming  down  out 

of  heaven,  arrayed  with  a  cloud;    and  the   rainbow 

was  upon  his  head,  and  his  face  was  as  the  sun,  and 

2 his  feet  as  pillars  of  fire;  and  he  had  in  his  hand  a 

little  book  open :  and  he  set  his  right  foot  upon  the 

3  sea,  and  his  left  upon  the  earth ;  and  he  cried  with  a 
great  voice,  as  a  lion  roareth :  and  when  he  cried,  the 

4  seven  thunders  uttered  their  voices.  And  when  the 
seven  thunders  uttered  their  voices,  I  was  about  to 
write :  and  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  saying.  Seal 
up  the  things  which  the  seven  thunders  uttered,  and 

5  write  them  not.  And  the  angel  which  I  saw  standing 
upon  the  sea  and  upon  the  earth  lifted  up  his  right 

6  hand  to  heaven,  and  sware  by  him  that  liveth  'for  ever 
and  ever,  who  created  the  heaven  and  the  things  that 
are  therein,  and  the  earth  and  the  things  that  are 
therein,  'and  the  sea  and  the  things  that  are  therein, 

7  that  there  shall  be  'time  no  longer :  but  in  the  days  of 
the  voice  of  the  seventh  angel,  when  he  is  about  to 
sound,  then  is  finished  the  mystery  of  God,  according 
to  the  good  tidings  which  he  declared  to  his  servants 

8  the  prophets.  And  the  voice  which  I  heard  from 
heaven,  I  heard  it  again  speaking  with  me,  and  saying, 
Go,  take  the  book  which  is  open  in  the  hand  of  the 
angel  that  standeth  upon  the  sea  and  upon  the  earth.

9  And  I  went  unto  the  angel,  and  said  unto  him,  Give  me 
the  little  Ixtok.  And  he  said  unto  me,  ""Take  it,  and  eat  it 
up ;  and  it  shall  make  thy  belly  bitter,  but  it  shall  be  in  thy 
mouth  sweet  as  honey. 

10  And  I  took  tiie  little  book  out  of  the  angel's  hand,  and 
ate  it  up ;  "and  it  was  in  my  mouth  sweet  as  honey :  and  as 
soon  as  I  had  eaten  it,  "my  belly  was  bitter. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me.  Thou  must  prophesy  again  before 
many  peoples,  and  nations,  and  tongues,  and  kings. 

CHAPTBRXI. 

The  two  witjiesses  prophesy. 

AND  there  was  given  me  "a  reed  like  unto  a  rod :  and  the 
angel  stood,  saying,  'Rise,  and  measure  the  temple  of 
God,  and  the  altar,  and  them  that  worship  therein. 

2  But  'the  court  which  is  without  the  temple  fleave  out, 
and  measure  it  not ;  ''for  it  is  given  unto  the  Gentiles  :  and  the 
holy  city  shall  they  'tread  under  foot  -^forty  and  two  months. 

3  And  ||I  will  give  power  unto  my  two  "witnesses,  ''and 
they  shall  prophesy  *a  thousand  two  hundred  aiid  three-score 
days,  clothed  in  sackcloth. 

4  These  are  the  *two  olive  trees,  and  the  two  candlesticks 
standing  before  the  God  of  the  earth. 

5  And  if  any  man  will  hurt  them,  'fire  proceedeth  out  uf 
their  mouth,  and  devoureth  their  enemies:  "'and  if  any  man 
will  hurt  them,  he  must  in  this  manner  be  killed. 

6  These  "have  power  to  shut  heaven,  that  it  rain  not  in 
the  days  of  their  prophecy :  and  "have  power  over  waters 
to  turn  them  to  blood,  and  to  smite  the  earth  with  all 
plagues,  as  often  as  they  will. 

7  And  when  they  "shall  have  finished  their  testimony,  'the 
beast  that  ascendeth  'out  of  the  bottomless  pit  'shall  make 
war  against  them,  and  shall  overcome  them,  and  kill  them. 

8  And  their  dead  bodies  shall  lie  in  the  street  of  'the  great 
city,  which  spiritually  is  called  Sod'om  and  E'gypt,  "where 
also  our  Lord  was  crucified. 

9  "And  they  of  the  people  and  kindreds  and  tongues  and 
nations  shall  see  their  dead  bodies  three  days  and  a  half, 
"and  shall  not  sufier  their  dead  bodies  to  be  put  in  graves. 

10  'And  they  that  dwell  upon  the  earth  shall  rejoice  over 
them,  and  make  merry,  "and  shall  send  gifts  one  to  another ; 
'because  these  two  prophets  tormented  them  that  dwelt  on 
the  earth. 

11  "And  after  three  days  and  a  half  ''the  Spirit  of  life 
from  God  entered  into  them,  and  they  stood  upon  their 
feet;  and  great  fear  fell  upon  them  which  saw  them. 

12  And  they  heard  a  great  voice  from  heaven,  saying  unto 
them.  Come  up  hither.  'And  they  ascended  up  to  heaven 
-^in  a  cloud ;  "and  their  enemies  beheld  them. 

13  And  the  same  hour  'was  there  a  great  earthquake, 
'and  the  tenth  part  of  the  city  fell,  and  in  the  earthquake 
were  slain  fof  men  seven  thousand :  and  the  remnant  were 
afirighted,  *and  gave  glory  to  the  God  of  heaven. 

14  'The  second  woe  is  past;  and,  behold,  the  third  woe 
cometh  quickly. 

15  And  ""the  seventh  angel  sounded ;  "and  there  were 
great  voices  in  heaven,  saying,  "The  kingdoms  of  this  world 
are  become  the  kingdoms  of  our  Lord,  and  of  his  Christ ; 
"and  he  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

16  And  'the  four  and  twenty  elders,  which  sat  before  God 
on  their  seats,  fell  upon  their  faces,  and  worshipped  God, 

17  Saying,  We  give  thee  thanks,  O  Lord  God  Almighty, 
which  art,  and  wa.st,  and  art  to   come;  because  thou  hast 

taken  to  thee  thy  great  power,  'and  hast  reigned. 

18  And  the  nations  were  angry,  and  thy  wrath  is  come,  "and 
the  time  of  the  dead,  that  they  should  be  judged,  and  that 
thou  shouldest  give  reward  unto  thy  servants  the  prophets,  and 
to  the  saints,  and  them  that  fear  thy  name,  'small  and  great: 
"and  shouldest  destroy  them  which  ||  destroy  the  earth. 


9  And  I  went  unto  the  angel,  saying  unto  him  that  he 
should  give  me  the  little  book.  And  he  saith  unto 
me,  Take  it,  and  eat  it  up;  and  it  shall  make  thy 
belly  bitter,  but  in  thy  mouth  it  shall  be  sweet  as 

10  honey.  And  I  took  the  little  book  out  of  tiie  angel's 
hand,  and  ate  it  up ;  and  it  was  in  my  mouth  sweet 
as  honey :  and  when  I  had  eaten  it,  my  belly  was 

11  made  bitter.  And  they  say  unto  me.  Thou  must 
prophesy  again  'over  many  peoples  and  nations  and 
tongues  and'  kings. 

And  there  was  given  me  a  reed  like  unto   a   rod : 
-and  one  said.  Rise,  and  measure  the  temple  of  God, 

2  and  the  altar,  and  them  that  worship  therein.  And 
the  court  which  is  without  the  temple  ^leave  without, 
and  measure  it  not ;  for  it  hath  been  given  unto  the 
nations:   and   the   holy  city  shall    they  tread  under 

3  foot  forty  and  two  months.  And  I  will  give  unto  my 
two  witnesses,  and  they  shall  prophesy  a  thousand 
two  hundred  and  threescore  days,  clothed  in  sack- 

4  cloth.  These  are  the  two  olive  trees  and  the  two 
^candlesticks,  standing  before  the  Lord  of  the  earth. 

5  And  if  any  man  desireth  to  hurt  them,  fire  proceedeth 
out  of  their  mouth,  and  devoureth  their  enemies :  and 
if  any  man  shall  desire  to  hurt  them,  in  this  manner 

6  must  he  be  killed.  These  have  the  power  to  shut 
the  heaven,  that  it  rain  not  during  the  days  of  their 
prophecy :  and  they  have  power  over  the  waters  to 
turn   them  into  blood,  and  to  smite  the  earth  with 

7  every  plague,  as  often  as  they  shall  desire.  And  when 
they  shall  have  finished  their  testimony,  the  beast 
that  Cometh  up  .out  of  the  abyss  shall  make  war  with 

8  them,  and  overcome  them,  and  kill  them.  And  their 
'dead  bodies  lie  in  the  street  of  the  great  city,  which 
spiritually  is  called  Sod'bm  and  E'gy  pt,wherealso  their 

9  Lord  was  crucified.  And  from  among  the  peoples 
and  tribes  and  tongues  and  nations  do  men  look  upon 
their  Mead  bodies  three  days  and  a  half,  and  sufier 

10  not  their  dead  bodies  to  be  laid  in  a  tomb.  And  they 
that  dwell  on  the  earth  rejoice  over  them,  and  make 
merry ;  and  they  shall  send  gifts  one  to  another ;  be- 
cause these  two  prophets  tormented  them  that  dwell 

lion  the  earth.  And  after  the  three  days  and  a  half 
the  breath  of  life  from  God  entered  into  them,  and  they 
stood  upon  their  feet ;  and  great  fear  fell  upon  them 

12  which  beheld  them.  And  they  heard  a  great  voice 
from  heaven  saying  unto  them,  Come  up  hither.  And 
they  went  up  into   heaven  in   the  cloud;  and  their 

13  enemies  beheld  them.  And  in  that  hour  there  was 
a  great  earthquake,  and  the  tenth  part  of  the  city  fell ; 
and  there  were  killed  in  the  earthquake  *seven  thou- 
sand persons :  and  the  rest  were  affrighted,  and  gave 
glory  to  the  God  of  heaven. 

14  The  second  Woe  is  past :  behold,  the  third  Woe 
cometh  quickly. 

15  And  the  seventh  angel  sounded  ;  and  there  followed 
great  voices  in  heaven,  and  they  said.  The  kingdom 
of  the  world  is  become  the  kingdom  of  our  Lord,  and 
of  his  Christ :  and  he  shall  reign  'for  ever  and  ever. 

16  And  the  four  and  twenty  elders,  which  sit  before  God 
on  their  thrones,  fell  upon  their  faces,  and  worshipped 

17  God,  saying.  We  give  thee  thanks,  O  Lord  God,  the 
Almighty,  which  art  and  which   wast ;  because  thou 

18  hast  taken  thy  great  power,  and  didst  reign.  And 
the  nations  were  wroth,  and  thy  wrath  came,  and  the 
time  of  the  dead  to  be  judged,  and  the  time  to  give 
their  reward  to  thy  servants  the  prophets,  and  to  the 
saints,  and  to  them  that  fear  thy  name,  the  small  and 
the  great ;  and  to  destroy  them  that  destroy  the  earth.

19  And  the  'temple  of  God  was  opened  in  heaven,  and 
there  was  seen  in  his  temple  the  ark  of  his  testament :  and 
"there  were  lightnings,  and  voices,  and  thunderings,  and  an 
earthquake,  'and  great  hail. 

CHAPTER   XII. 

The  great  red  dragon. 

AND    there    appeared  a   great    ||  wonder   in   heaven;   a 
woman  clothed  with  the  sun,  and  the  moon  under  her 
feet,  and  upon  her  head  a  crown  of  twelve  stars : 

2  And  she  being  with  child  cried,  "travailing  in  birth, 
and  pained  to  be  delivered. 

3  And  there  appeared  another  ||  wonder  in  heaven  ;  and 
behold  'a  great  red  dragon,  '^having  seven  heads  and  ten 
horns,  ''and  seven  crowns  upon  his  heads. 

4  And  'his  tail  drew  the  third  part  •'of  the  stars  of  heaven, 
"and  did  cast  them  to  the  earth :  and  the  dragon  stood 
*before  the  woman  which  was  ready  to  be  delivered  'for  to 
devour  her  child  as  soon  as  it  was  born. 

5  And  she  brought  forth  a  man  child,  *who  was  to  rule 
all  nations  with  a  rod  of  iron :  and  her  child  was  caught  up 
unto  God,  and  to  his  throne. 

6  And  'the  woman  fled  into  the  wilderness,  where  she 
hath  a  place  prepared  of  God,  that  they  should  feed  her 
there  "a  thousand  two  hundred  and  threescore  days. 

7  And  there  was  war  in  heaven :  "Michael  and  his  angels 
fought  "against  the  dragon ;  and  the  dragon  fought  and  his 
angels, 

8  And  prevailed  not;  neither  was  their  place  found  any 
more  in  heaven. 

9  And''the  great  dragon  was  cast  out,  'that  old  serpent,  called 
the  Devil,  and  Satan,  'which  deceiveth  the  whole  world :  'he 
was  cast  out  into  the  earth,and  his  angels  were  castout  with  him. 

10  And  I  heard  a  loud  voice  saying  in  heaven,  'Now  is  come 
salvation,  and  strength,  and  the  kingdom  of  our  God,  and  the 

Sower  of  his  Christ:  for  the  accuser  of  our  brethren  is  cast 
own,  "which  accused  them  before  our  God  day  and  night. 

11  And  "^they  overcame  him  by  the  blood  of  the  Lamb, 
and  by  the  word  of  their  testimony;  "and  they  loved  not 
their  lives  unto  the  death. 

12  Therefore  "rejoice,  ye  heavens,  and  ye  that  dwell  in 
them.  "Woe  to  the  inhabiters  of  the  earth  and  of  the  sea ! 
for  the  devil  is  come  down  unto  you,  having  great  wrath, 
'because  he  knoweth  that  he  hath  but  a  short  time. 

13  And  when  the  dragon  saw  that  he  was  cast  unto  the  earth, 
he  persecuted  ''the  woman  which  brought  forth  the  man  child. 

14  ''And  to  the  woman  were  given  two  wings  of  a  great 
eagle,  'that  she   might   fly  ■'^into  the   wilderness,  into  her 

Elace,  where  she   is  nourished   "for  a  time,  and  times,  and 
alf  a  time,  from  the  face  of  the  serpent. 

15  And  the  serpent  ''cast  out  of  his  mouth  water  as  a  flood, 
after  the  woman,  that  he  might  cause  her  to  be  carried  away 
of  the  flood. 

16  And  the  earth  helped  the  woman ;  and  the  earth  opened 
her  mouth,  and  swallowed  up  the  flood  which  the  dragon 
cast  out  of  his  mouth. 

17  And  the  dragon  was  wroth  with  the  woman,  'and  went 
to  make  war  with  the  remnant  of  her  seed,  *which  keep 
the  commandments  of  God,  and  have  "the  testimony  of 
Jesus  Christ. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

The  beast  with  seven  heads. 

AND  I  stood  upon  the  sand  of  the  sea,  and  saw  "a  beast 
rise  up  out  of  the  sea,  'having  seven  heads  and  ten  horns, 
and  upon  his  horns  ten  crowns,  and  upon  his  heads  the 
II  name  of  blasphemy. 

2  "And  the  beast  which  I  saw  was  like  unto  a  leopard, 
'*and  his  feet  were  as  the  feet  of  a  bear,  'and  his  mouth  as 
the  mouth  of  a  lion :  and  -^the  dragon  gave  him  his  power, 
'and  his  seat,  *and  great  authority. 


19  And  there  was  opened  the  temple  of  God  that  is  in 
heaven ;  and  there  was  seen  in  his  temple  the  ark  of  his 
'covenant ;  and  there  followed  lightnings,  and  voices, 
and  thunders,  and  an  earthquake,  and  great  hail. 

J-^  And  a  great  sign  was  seen  in  heaven ;  a  woman 
arrayed  with  the  sun,  and  the  moon  under  her  feet, 

2  and  upon  her  head  a  crown  of  twelve  stars ;  and  she 
was  with  child :  and  she  crieth  out,  travailing  in  birth. 

Sand  in  pain  to  be  delivered.  And  there  was  seen 
another  sign  in  heaven ;  and  behold,  a  great  red  dragon, 
having  seven  heads  and  ten  horns,  and  upon  his  heads 

4  seven  diadems.  And  his  tail  draweth  the  third  part 
of  the  stars  of  heaven,  and  did  cast  them  to  the  earth : 
and  the  dragon  stood  before  the  woman  which  was 
about  to  be  delivered,  that  when  she  was  delivered, 

5  he  might  devour  her  child.  And  she  was  delivered 
of  a  son,  a  man  child,  who  is  to  rule  all  the  nations 
with  a  rod  of  iron :  and  her  child  was  caught  up  unto 

6  God,  and  unto  his  throne.  And  the  woman  fled  into 
the  wilderness,  where  she  hath  a  place  prepared  of 
God,  that  there  they  may  nourish  her  a  thousand  two 
hundred  and  threescore  days. 

7  And  there  was  war  in  heaven :  Michael  and  his 
angels  going  forth  to  war  with  the  dragon:  and  the 

8 dragon  warred  and  his  angels;  and  they  prevailed 
not,  neither  was  their  place  found  any  more  in  heaven. 

9  And  the  great  dragon  was  cast  down,  the  old  serpent, 
he  that  is  called  the  Devil  and  Satan,  the  deceiver  of 
the  whole  Vorld;  he  was  cast  down  to  the  earth, 

10  and  his  angels  were  cast  down  with  him.  And  I  heard 
a  great  voice  in  heaven,  saying,  ^Now  is  come  the 
salvation,  and  the  power,  and  the  kingdom  of  our 
God,  and  the  authority  of  his  Christ :  for  the  accuser 
of  our  brethren   is  cast  down,  which  accuseth  them 

11  before  our  God  day  and  night.  And  they  overcame 
him  because  of  the  blood  of  the  Lamb,  and  because 
of  the  word  of  their  testimony ;  and  they  loved  not 

1 2  their  life  even  unto  death.  Therefore  rejoice,  O  heav- 
ens, and  ye  that  *dwell  in  them.  Woe  for  the  earth 
and  for  the  sea :  because  the  devil  is  gone  down  unto 
you,  having  great  wrath,  knowing  that  he  hath  but 
a  short  time. 

13  And  when  the  dragon  saw  that  he  was  cast  down 
to  the  earth,  he  persecuted  the  woman  which  brought 

14  forth  the  man  child.  And  there  were  given  to  the 
woman  the  two  wings  of  the  great  eagle,  that  she 
might  fly  into  the  wilderness  unto  her  place,  where 
she  is  nourished  for  a  time,  and  times,  and  half  a  time, 

15  from  the  face  of  the  serpent.  And  the  serpent  cast 
out  of  his  mouth  after  the  woman  water  as  a  river, 
that  he  might  cause  her  to  be  carried  away  by  the 

16  stream.  And  the  earth  helped  the  woman,  and  the 
earth  opened  her  mouth,  and  swallowed  up  the  river 

17  which  the  dragon  cast  out  of  his  mouth.  And  the 
dragon  waxed  wroth  with  the  woman,  and  went  away 
to  make  war  with  the  rest  of  her  seed,  which  keep 

-.  £v  the  commandments  of  God,  and  hold  the  testimony 
J-0  of  Jesus :  and  he  stood  upon  the  sand  of  the  sea. 
And  I  saw  a  beast  coming  up  out  of  the  sea,  hav- 
ing ten  horns  and  seven  heads,  and  on  his  horns  ten 
diadems,  and  upon  his  heads  names  of  blasphemy. 
2  And  the  beast  which  I  saw  was  like  unto  a  leopard, 
and  his  feet  were  as  the  feet  of  a  bear,  and  his  mouth 
as  the  mouth  of  a  lion :  and  the  dragon  gave  him 
his    power,  and    his    throne,  and    great    authority.

3  And  I  saw  one  of  his  heads  'as  it  were  fwounded  to 
death ;  and  his  deadly  wound  was  healed :  and  *all  the 
world  wondered  after  the  beast. 

4  And  they  worshipped  the  dragon  which  gave  power 
unto  the  beast;  and  they  worshipped  the  beast,  saying, 
'Who  is  like  unto  the  beast?  who  is  able  to  make  war  with 
him? 

6  And  there  was  given  unto  him  "a  mouth  speaking  great 
things  and  blasphemies;  and  power  was  given  unto  him  ||to 
continue  "forty  and  two  months. 

6  And  he  opened  his  mouth  in  blasphemy  against  God, 
to  blaspheme  his  nanie,  "and  his  tabernacle,  and  them  that 
dwell  in  heaven. 

7  And  it  was  given  unto  him  ''to  make  war  with  the  saints, 
and  to  overcome  them:  'and  power  was  given  him  over  all 
kindreds,  and  tongues,  and  nations. 

8  And  all  that  dwell  upon  the  earth  shall  worship  him, 
'whose  names  are  not  written  in  the  book  of  life  of  the 
Lamb  slain  'from  the  foundation  of  the  world. 

9  'If  any  man  have  an  ear,  let  him  hear. 

10  "He  that  leadeth  into  captivity,  shall  go  into  captivity : 
'he  that  killeth  with  the  sword,  must  be  killed  with  the 
sword.     "Here  is  the  patience  and  the  faith  of  the  saints. 

11  And  I  beheld  another  beast  'coming  up  out  of  the 
earth;  and  he  had  two  horns  like  a  lamb,  and  he  spake  as 
a  dragon. 

12  And  he  exerciseth  all  the  power  of  the  first  beast  before 
him,  and  causeth  the  earth  and  them  which  dwell  therein  to 
worship  the  first  beast,  "whose  deadly  wound  was  healed. 

13  And  'he  doeth  great  wonders,  ""so  that  he  maketh  fire 
come  down  from  heaven  on  the  earth  in  the  sight  of  men, 

14  And  ''deceiveth  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth  'by  tke 
means  of  those  miracles  which  he  had  power  to  do  in  the 
sight  of  the  beast ;  saying  to  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth, 
that  they  should  make  an  image  to  the  beast,  which  had  the 
wound  by  a  sword,  '^and  did  live. 

15  And  he  had  power  to  give  flife  unto  the  image  of  the 
beast,  that  the  image  of  the  beast  should  both  speak,  "and 
cause  that  as  many  as  would  not  worship  the  image  of  the 
beast  should  be  killed. 

16  And  he  causeth  all,  both  small  and  great,  rich  and  poor, 
free  and  bond,  ''fto  receive  a  mark  in  their  right  hand,  or 
in  their  foreheads : 

17  And  that  no  man  might  buy  or  sell,  save  he  that  had 
the  mark,  or  'the  name  of  the  beast,  *or  the  number  of  his 
name. 

18  'Here  is  wisdom.  Let  him  that  hath  understanding 
count  "the  number  of  the  beast :  "for  it  is  the  number  of  a 
man;  and  his  number  is  Six  hundred  threescore  and  six. 

CHAPTER    XIV. 

The  Lamb  and  his  company. 

AND  I  looked,  and,  lo,  °a  Lamb  stood  on  the  mount  Si'on, 
and  with  him  'a  hundred  forty  and  four  thousand  "hav- 
ing his  Father's  name  written  in  their  foreheads. 

2  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven,  ''as  the  voice  of  many 
waters,  and  as  the  voice  of  a  great  thunder :  and  I  heard  the 
voice  of  'harpers  harping  witn  their  harps : 

3  And  -'they  sung  as  it  were  a  new  song  before  the  throne, 
and  before  the  four  beasts,  and  the  elders:  and  no  man 
could  learn  that  song  "but  the  hundred  and  forty  and  four 
thousand,  which  were  redeemed  from  the  earth. 

4  These  are  they  which  were  not  defiled  with  women ;  for 
they  are  virgins.  These  are  'they  'which  follow  the  Lamb 
whithersoever  he  goeth.  These  f^were  redeemed  from 
among  men,  'being  the  firstfruits  unto  God  and  to  the 
Lamb. 

5  And  "in  their  mouth  was  found  no  guile :  for  "they  are 
without  fault  before  the  throne  of  God. 


3  And  /  saw  one  of  his  heads  as  though  it  had  been 
'smitten  unto  death ;  and  his  death-stroke  was  healed 

4 and  the  whole  earth  wondered  after  the  beast;  and 
they  worshipped  the  dragon,  because  he  gave  his 
authority  unto  the  beast;  and  they  worshipped  the 
beast,  saying.  Who  is  like  unto  the  beast?  and  who  is 

5  able  to  war  with  him  ?  and  there  was  given  to  him  a 
mouth  speaking  great  things  and  blasphemies ;  and 
there  was  given  to  him  authority  ^to  continue  forty  and 

6  two  months.  And  he  opened  his  mouth  for  blasphe- 
mies against  God,  to  blaspheme  his  name,  and  his  taber- 

7  nacle,  even  them  that  'dwell  in  the  heaven.  ■'And  it  was 
given  unto  him  to  make  war  with  the  saints,  and  to 
overcome  them  :  and  there  was  given  to  him  authority 
over  every  tribe  and  people  and  tongue  and  nation. 

8  And  all  thatdwell  on  the  earth  shall  worship  him,  every 
one  whose  name  hath  not  been  'written  in  the  book 
of  life  of  the  Lamb  that  hath  been  slain  from  the 

9  foundation  of  ^the  world.     If  any  man  hath  an  ear, 

10  let  him  hear.  'If  any  man  %  for  captivity,  into  cap- 
tivity he  goeth :  if  any  man  shall  kill  with  the  sword, 
with  the  sword  must  he  be  killed.  Here  is  the 
patience  and  the  faith  of  the  saints. 

11  And  I  saw  another  beast  coming  up  out  of  the 
earth ;  and  he  had  two  horns  like  unto  a  lamb,  and 

12  he  spake  as  a  dragon.  And  he  exerciseth  all  the 
authority  of  the  first  beast  in  his  sight.  And  he 
maketh  the  earth  and  them  that  dwell  therein  to 
worship    the    first    beast,    whose    death-stroke    was 

13  healed.  And  he  doeth  great  signs,  that  he  should 
even  make  fire  to  come  down  out  of  heaven  upon 

14^he  earth  in  the  sight  of  men.  And  he  deceiveth 
them  that  dwell  on  the  earth  by  reason  of  the  signs 
which  it  was  given  him  to  do  in  the  sight  of  the  beast; 
saying  to  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth,  that  they 
should  make  an  image  to  the  beast,  who  hath  the 

15  stroke  of  the  sword,  and  lived.  And  it  was  given 
unto  him  to  give  breath  to  it,  even  to  the  image  of  the 
beast,  'that  the  image  of  the  beast  should  both  speak, 
and  cause  that  as  many  as  should  not  worship  the 

16  image  of  the  beast  should  be  killed.  And  he  causeth 
all,  the  small  and  the  great,  and  the  rich  and  the 
poor,  and  the  free  and  the  bond,  that  there  be  given 
them  a  mark  on  their  right  hand,  or  upon  their  fore- 

17 head;  and  that  no  man  should  be  able  to  buy  or  to 
sell,  save  he  that  hath  the  mark,  even  the  name  of  the 

18  beast  or  the  number  of  his  name.  Here  is  wisdom. 
He  that  hath  understanding,  let  him  count  the  num- 
ber of  the  beast;  for  it  is  the  number  of  a  man :  and 
his  number  is  'Six  hundred  and  sixty  and  six. 

A^  And  I  saw,  and  behold,  the  Lamb  standing  on  the 
mount  Zi'on,  and  with  him  a  hundred  and  forty  and 
four  thousand,  having  his  name,  and  the  name  of  his 
2  Father,  written  on  their  foreheads.  And  I  heard  a 
voice  from  heaven,  as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and 
as  the  voice  of  a  great  thunder :  and  the  voice  which 
I  heard  was  as  the  voice  of  harpers  harping  with  their 
3 harps:  and  they  sing  as  it  were  a  new  song  before 
the  throne,  and  before  the  four  living  creatures  and 
the  elders :  and  no  man  could  learn  the  song  save  the 
hundred  and  forty  and  four  thousand,  even  they  that 

4  had  been  purchased  out  of  the  earth.  These  are  they 
which  were  not  defiled  with  women;  for  they  are 
virgins.  These  are  they  which  follow  the  Lamb 
whithersoever  he  goeth.  These  were  purchased 
from  among  men,  to  be  the  firstfruits  unto  God  and 
iinto  the  Lamb.     And  in  their  mouth  was  found  no 

6 lie:  they  are  without  blemish.

6  And  I  saw  another  angel  °fly  in  the  midst  of  heaven, 
"having  the  everlasting  gospel  to  preach  unto  them  that 
dwell  on  the  earth,  «and  to  every  nation,  and  kindred,  and 
tongue,  and  people, 

7  Saying  with  a  loud  voice,  "^Fear  God,  and  give  glory  to 
him;  for  the  hour  of  his  judgment  is  come:  'and  worship 
him  that  made  heaven,  and  earth,  and  the  sea,  and  the  fount- 
ains of  waters. 

8  And  there  followed  another  angel,  saying,  'Babylon  is 
fallen,  is  fallen,  "that  great  city,  because  she  made  all  nations 
drink  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  fornication. 

9  And  the  third  angel  followed  them,  saying  with  a  loud 
voice,  "If  any  man  worship  the  beast  and  his  image,  and  re- 
ceive A  i's  mark  in  his  forehead,  or  in  his  hand, 

10  The  same  "shall  drink  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  God, 
which  is  'poured  out  without  mixture  into  "the  cup  of  his 
indignation ;  and  'he  shall  be  tormented  with  "fire  and  brim- 
stone in  the  presence  of  the  holy  angels,  and- in  the  presence 
of  the  Lamb : 

11  And  ''the  smoke  of  their  torment  ascendeth  up  for  ever 
and  ever :  and  they  have  no  rest  day  nor  night,  who  wor- 
ship the  beast  and  his  image,  and  whosoever  receiveth  the 
mark  of  his  name. 

12  'Here  is  the  patience  of  the  saints:  -Tiere  are  they 
that  keep  the  commandments  of  God,  and  the  faith  of 
Jesus. 

13  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  saying  unto  me. 
Write,  'Blessed  are  the  dead  ''which  die  in  the  Lord  ||from 
henceforth :  Yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  'that  they  may  rest  from 
their  labours;  and  their  works  do  follow  them. 

14  And  I  looked,  and  behold  a  white  cloud,  and  upon  the 
cloud  07ie  sat  *like  unto  the  Son  of  man,  'having  on  his  head 
a  golden  crown,  and  in  his  hand  a  sharp  sickle. 

15  And  another  angel  ™came  out  of  the  temple,  crying 
with  a  loud  voice  to  him  that  sat  on  the  cloud,  "Thrust  in 
thy  sickle,  and  reap:  for  the  time  is  come  for  thee  to  reap; 
for  the  harvest  "of  the  earth  is  ||ripe. 

16  And  he  that  sat  on  the  cloud  thrust  in  his  sickle  on  the 
earth;  and  the  earth  was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came  out  of  the  temple  which  is  in 
heaven,  he  also  having  a  sharp  sickle. 

18  And  another  angel  came  out  from  the  altar,  "which  had 
power  over  fire ;  and  cried  with  a  loud  cry  to  him  that  had 
the  sharp  sickle,  saying,  «Thrust  in  thy  sharp  sickle,  and 
gather  the  clusters  of  the  vine  of  the  earth ;  for  her  grapes 
are  fully  ripe. 

19  And  the  angel  thrust  in  his  sickle  into  the  earth,  and 
gathered  the  vine  of  the  earth,  and  cast  it  into  'the  great 
winepress  of  the  wrath  of  God. 

20  And  'the  Avinepress  was  trodden  'without  the  city,  and 
blood  came  out  of  the  winepress,  "even  unto  the  horse 
bridles,  by  the  space  of  a  thousand  and  six  hundred  furlongs. 

CHAPTER   XV. 

TAe  seven  last  plagues. 

AND  "I  saw  another  sign  in   heaven,  great  and  marvel- 
lous, ''seven  angels  having  the  seven  last  plagues;   "for 
in  them  is  filled  up  the  wrath  of  God. 

9  And  I  saw  as  it  were  ''a  sea  of  glass  'mingled  with  fire : 
and  them  that  bad  gotten  the  victory  over  the  beast,  -^and 
over  his  image,  and  over  his  mark,  and  over  the  number  of 
his  name,  stand  on  the  sea  of  glass,  "having  the  harps  of  God. 

3  And  they  sing  Hhe  song  of  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  God, 
and  the  song  of  the  Lamb,  saying,  'Great  and  marvellous 
are  thy  works.  Lord  God  Almighty;  *just  and  true  are  thy 
ways,  thou  King  of  ||  saints. 

4  'Who  shall  not  fear  thee,  O  Lord,  and  glorify  thy  name  ? 
for  thou  only  art  holy :  for  '"all  nations  shall  come  and  wor- 
ship before  thee;  for  thy  judgments  are  made  manifest. 


6     And  I  saw  another  angel  flying  in  mid  heaven,  hav 
ing  an  eternal  gospel  to  proclaim  unto   them   that 
'dwell  on  the  earth,  and  unto  every  nation  and  tribe 

7 and  tongue  and  people;  and  he  saith  with  a  great 
voice.  Fear  God,  and  give  him  glory ;  for  the  hour 
of  his  judgement  is  come :  and  worship  him  that 
made  the  heaven  and  the  earth  and  sea  and  fountains 
of  waters. 

8  And  another,  a  second  angel,  followed,  saying. 
Fallen,  fallen  is  Babylon  the  great,  which  hath  made 
all  the  nations  to  drink  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of 
her  fornication. 

9  And  another  angel,  a  third,  followed  them,  saying 
with  a  great  voice.  If  any  man  worshippeth  the  beast 
and  his  image,  and  receiveth  a  mark  on  his  forehead, 

10  or  upon  his  hand,  he  also  shall  drink  of  the  wine  of 
the  wrath  of  God,  which  is  ''prepared  unmixed  in  the 
cup  of  his  anger;  and  he  shall  be  tormented  with 
fire  and  brimstone  in  the  presence  of  the  holy  angels, 

11  and  in  the  presence  of  the  Lamb :  and  the  smoke  of 
their  torment  goeth  up  Hov  ever  and  ever ;  and  they 
have  no  rest  day  and  night,  they  that  worship  the 
beast  and  his  image,  and  whoso  receiveth  the  mark 

12  of  his  name.  Here  is  the  patience  of  the  saints,  they 
that  keep  the  commandments  of  God,  and  the  faith 
of  Jesus. 

13  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  saying.  Write, 
Blessed  are  the  dead  which  die  *in  the  Lord  from 
henceforth :  yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may  rest 
from  their  labours :  for  their  works  follow  with  them. 

14  And  I  saw,  and  behold,  a  white  cloud;  and  on  the 
cloud  /  saw  one  sitting  like  unto  °a  son  of  man,  hav- 
ing on  his  head  a  golden  crown,   and  in  his  hand  a 

15  sharp  sickle.  And  another  angel  came  out  from  the 
temple,  crying  with  a  great  voice  to  him  that  sat  on 
the  cloud.  Send  forth  thy  sickle,  and  reap:  for  the 
hour  to  reap  is  come ;  for  the  harvest  of  the  earth  is 

16  ^over-ripe.  And  he  that  sat  on  the  cloud  cast  his 
sickle  upon  the  earth ;  and  the  earth  was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came  out  from  the  temple  which 

18  is  in  heaven,  he  also  having  a  sharp  sickle.  And 
another  angel  came  out  from  the  altar,  he  that  hath 
power  over  fire ;  and  he  called  with  a  great  voice  to 
him  that  had  the  sharp  sickle,  saying.  Send  forth  thy 
sharp  sickle,  and  gather  the  clusters  of  the  vine  of  the 

19  earth;  for  her  grapes  are  fully  ripe.  And  the  ang6l 
cast  his  sickle  into  the  earth,  and  gathered  the  'vint- 
age of  the  earth,  and  cast  it  into  the  winepress,  the 

20  great  winepress,  of  the  wrath  of  God.  And  the  wine- 
press was  trodden  without  the  city,  and  there  came 
out  blood  from  the  winepress,  even  unto  the  bridles 
of  the  horses,  as  far  as  a  thousand  and  six  hundred 
furlongs. 

4-0  And  I  saw  another  sign  in  heaven,  great  and  mar- 
vellous, seven  angels  having  seven  plagues,  which  are 
the  last,  for  in  them  is  finished  the  wrath  of  God. 

2  And  I  saw  as  it  were  a  glassy  sea  mingled  with  fire ; 
and  them  that  come  victorious  from  the  beast,  and 
from  his  image,  and  from  the  number  of  his  name, 
standing  *by  the  glassy  sea,  having  harps  of  God. 

3  And  they  sing  the  song  of  Mo'ses  the  servant  of  God, 
and  the  song  of  the  Lamb,  saying,  Great  and  marvel- 
lous are  thy  works,  O  Lord  God,  the  Almighty; 
righteous  and  true  are  thy  ways,  thou  King  of  the 

4 'ages.  Who  shall  not  fear,  O  Lord,  and  glorify  thy 
name?  for  thou  only  art  holy ;  for  all  the  nations  shall 
come  and  worship  before  thee;  for  thy  righteous 
acts  have  been  made  manifest.

5  And  after  that  I  looked,  and,  behold,  "the  temple  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  testimony  in  heaven  was  opened : 

6  "And  the  seven  angels  came  out  of  the  temple,  having 
the  seven  plagues,  "clothed  in  pure  and  white  linen,  and 
having  their  breasts  girded  with  golden  girdles. 

7  'And  one  of  the  four  beasts  gave  unto  the  seven  angels 
seven  golden  vials  full  of  the  wrath  of  God,  ""who  liveth  for 
ever  and  ever. 

8  And  'the  temple  was  filled  with  smoke  'from  the  glory 
of  God,  and  from  his  power;  and  no  man  was  able  to  enter 
into  the  temple,  till  the  seven  plagues  of  the  seven  angels 
were  fulfilled. 

CHAPTER    XVI. 

Of  the  vials  full  of  wrath. 

AND  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  the  temple,  saying  "to 
the  seven  angels.  Go  your  ways,  and  pour  out  the  vials 
'of  the  wrath  of  God  upon  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured  out  his  vial  "upon  the 
earth ;  and  ''there  fell  a  noisome  and  grievous  sore  upon  the 
men  "which  had  the  mark  of  the  beast,  and  wpon  them  •'which 
worshipped  his  image. 

3  And  the  second  angel  poured  out  his  vial  "upon  the  sea; 
and  *it  became  as  the  blood  of  a  dead  wan/  *and  every 
living  soul  died  in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  angel  poured  out  his  vial  *upon  the  rivers 
and  fountains  of  waters;  'and  they  became  blood. 

5  And  I  heard  the  angel  of  the  waters  say,  "Thou  art 
righteous,  O  Lord,  "which  art,  and  wast,  and  shalt  be,  be- 
cause thou  hast  judged  thus. 

6  For  "they  have  shed  the  blood  "of  saints  and  prophets, 
'and  thou  hast  given  them  blood  to  drink ;  for  they  are 
worthy. 

7  And  I  heard  another  out  of  the  altar  say.  Even  so,  ''Lord 
God  Almighty,  'true  and  righteous  are  thy  judgments. 

8  And  the  fourth  angel  poured  out  his  vial  'upon  the  sun ; 
"and  power  was  given  unto  him  to  scorch  men  with  fire. 

9  And  men  were  ||  scorched  with  great  heat,  and  '^blas- 
phemed the  name  of  God,  which  hath  power  over  these 
plagues :  ''and  they  repented  not  'to  give  him  glory. 

10  And  the  fifth  angel  poured  out  his  vial  "upon  the  seat 
of  the  beast ;  'and  his  kingdom  was  full  of  darkness ;  "and 
they  gnawed  their  tongues  for  pain, 

11  And  ''blasphemed  the  God  of  heaven,  because  of  their 
pains  and  'their  sores,  •'and  repented  not  of  their  deeds. 

12  And  the  sixth  angel  poured  out  his  vial  "upon  the 
great  river  Eu-phra'tes ;  'and  the  water  thereof  was  dried  up, 
•that  the  way  of  the  kings  of  the  east  might  be  prepared. 

13  And  I  saw  three  unclean  *spirits  like  frogs  come  out  of 
the  mouth  of  'the  dragon,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of  the 
beast,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of  "the  false  prophet. 

14  "For  they  are  the  spirits  of  devils,  "working  miracles, 
which  go  forth  unto  the  kings  of  the  earth,  "and  of  the 
whole  world,  to  gather  them  to  'the  battle  of  that  great  day 
of  God  Almighty. 

15  'Behold,  I  come  as  a  thief.  Blessed  is  he  that  watcheth, 
and  keepeth  his  garments,  'lest  he  walk  naked,  and  they 
see  his  shame. 

16  'And  he  gathered  them  together  into  a  place  called  in 
the  He'brew  tongue  Ar-ma-ged'don. 

17  And  the  seventh  angel  poured  out  his  vial  into  the  air; 
and  there  came  a  great  voice  out  of  the  temple  of  heaven, 
from  the  throne,  saying,  "It  is  done. 

18  And  'there  were  voices,  and  thunders,  and  lightnings; 
"and  there  was  a  great  earthquake,  'such  as  was  not  since  men 
were  upon  the  earth,  so  mighty  an  earthquake,  and  so  great. 

19  And  "the  great  city  was  divided  into  three  parts,  and 
the  cities  of  the  nations  fell :  and  great  Bab'y-lon  'came  in 
remembrance  before  God,  "to  give  unto  her  the  cup  of  the 
wine  of  the  fierceness  of  his  wrath. 


5  And  after  these  things  I  saw,  and  the  temple  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  testimony  in  heaven  was  opened : 

6  and  there  came  out  from  the  temple  the  seven  angels 
that  had  the  seven  plagues,  arrayed  'with  precious 
stone,  pure  and  bright,  and  girt  about  their  breasts 

7  with  golden  girdles.  And  one  of  the  four  living 
creatures  gave  unto  the  seven  angels  seven  golden 
bowls  full  of  the  wrath  of  God,  who  liveth  ^for  ever 

8  and  ever.  And  the  temple  was  filled  with  smoke 
from  the  glory  of  God,  and  from  his  power ;  and 
none  was  able  to  enter  into  the  temple,  till  the  seven 
plagues  of  the  seven  angels  should  be  finished. 


16 


And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  the  temple,  say- 


ing to  the  seven  angels.  Go  ye,  and  pour  out  the 
seven  bowls  of  the  wrath  of  God  into  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured  out  his  bowl  into 
the  earth;  and  'it  became  a  noisome  and  grievous 
sore  upon  the  men  which  had  the  mark  of  the  beast, 
and  which  worshipped  his  image. 

3  And  the  second  poured  out  his  bowl  into  the  sea ; 
and  'it  became  blood  as  of  a  dead  man ;  and  every 
^living  soul  died,  even  the  things  that  were  in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  poured  out  his  bowl  into  the  rivers 
and   the  fountains  of  the  waters;  'and  'it  became 

5  blood.  And  I  heard  the  angel  of  the  waters  saying, 
Righteous  art  thou,  which  art  and  which  wast,  thou 

6  Holy  One,  because  thou  didst  thus  ^judge :  for  they 
poured  out  the  blood  of  saints  and  prophets,  and 
blood  hast  thou  given  them  to  drink  :  they  are  worthy. 

7  And  I  heard  the  altar  saying.  Yea,  O  Lord  God,  the 
Almighty,  true  and  righteous  are  thy  judgements. 

8  And  the  fourth  poured  out  his  bowl  upon  the  sun ; 
and  it  was  given  unto  'it  to  scorch  men  with  fire. 

9 And  men  were  scorched  with  great  heat:  and  they 
blasphemed  the  name  of  the  God  which  hath  the 
power  over  these  plagues ;  and  they  repented  not  to 
give  him  glory. 

10  And  the  fifth  poured  out  his  bowl  upon  the  throne 
of  the  beast ;  and  his  kingdom  was  darkened ;    and 

11  they  gnawed  their  tongues  for  pain,  and  they  blas- 
phemed the  God  of  heaven  because  of  their  pains 
and  their  sores;  and  they  repented  not  of  their 
works. 

12  And  the  sixth  poured  out  his  bowl  upon  the  great 
river,  the  river  Eu-phra'tes ;  and  the  water  thereof  was 
dried  up,  that  the  way  might  be  made  ready  for  the 

13  kings  that  come  from  the  sunrising.  And  I  saw 
coming  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  dragon,  and  out  of 
the  mouth  of  the  beast,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of  the 
false  prophet,  three  unclean  spirits,  as  it  were  frogs : 

14 for  they  are  spirits  of 'devils,  working  signs;  which 
go  forth  'unto  the  kings  of  the  whole  '"world,  to 
gather  them  together  unto  the  war  of  the  great  day 

15  of  God,  the  Almighty.  (Behold,  I  come  as  a  thief. 
Blessed  is  he  that  watcheth,  and  keepeth  his  gar- 
ments, lest  he  walk  naked,  and  they  see  his  shame.) 

16  And  they  gathered  them  together  into  the  place 
which  is  called  in  He'brew  Har-Ma-ge'don. 

17  And  the  seventh  poured  out  his  bowl  upon  the  air; 
and  there  came  forth  a  great  voice  out  of  the  temple, 

18 from  the  throne,  saying,  It  is  done:  and  there  were 
lightnings,  and  voices,  and  thunders;  and  f  acre  was  a 
great  earthquake,  such  as  was  not  since  'there  were 
men  upon  the  earth,  so  great  an  earthquake,  so  mighty. 

19  And  the  great  city  was  divided  into  three  parts,  and 
the  cities  of  the  nations  fell :  and  Babylon  the  great 
was  remembered  in  the  sight  of  God,  to  give  unto 
her  the  cup  of  the  wine  of  the  fierceness  of  his  wrath.

2C  And  ''every  island  fled  away,  and  the  mountains  were 
not  found. 

21  'And  there  fell  upon  men  a  great  hail  out  of  heaven, 
every  stone  about  the  weight  of  a  talent :  and  ■'men  blas- 
phem"ed  God  because  of  "the  plague  of  the  hail;  for  the 
plague  thereof  was  exceeding  great. 

CHAF-TER  XVII. 

The  mystery  of  Babylon. 

AND  there  came  "one  of  the  seven  angels  which  had  the 
seven  vials,  and  talked  with  me,  saying  unto  me.  Come 
hither;  'I  will  shew  unto  thee  the  judgment  of  "the  great 
whore  ''that  sitteth  upon  many  waters; 

2  'With  whom  the  kings  of  the  earth  have  committed  for- 
nication, and  •''the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  have  been  made 
drunk  with  the  wine  of  her  fornication. 

3  So  he  carried  me  away  in  the  spirit  "into  the  wilderness: 
and  I  saw  a  woman  sit  ''upon  a  scarlet  coloured  beast,  full  of 
'names  of  blasphemy,  'having  seven  heads  and  'ten  horns. 

4  And  the  woman  '"was  arrayed  in  purple  and  scarlet 
colour,  "and  fdecked  with  gold  and  precious  .stones  and 
pearls,  "having  a  goldeii  cup  in  her  hand  "full  of  abomina- 
tions and  filthiness  of  her  fornication : 

5  And  upon  her  forehead  was  a  name  written,  'MYSTERY, 
BABYLON -^THE  GREAT, 'THE  MOTHER  OF  ||  HAR- 
LOTS AND  ABOMINATIONS  OF  THE  EARTH. 

6  And  I  saw  'the  woman  drunken  "with  the  blood  of  the 
saints,  and  with  the  blood  of  ""the  martyrs  of  Jesus :  and 
when  I  saw  her,  I  wondered  with  great  admiration. 

7  And  the  angel  said  unto  me,  Wherefore  didst  thou  mar- 
vel ?  I  will  tell  thee  the  mystery  of  the  woman,  and  of  the 
beast  that  carrieth  her,  which  hath  the  seven  heads  and  ten 
horns. 

8  The  beast  that  thou  sawest  was,  and  is  not;  and  "shall 
ascend  out  of  the  bottomless  pit,  and  "go  into  perdition : 
and  they  that  dwell  on  the  earth  "shall  wonder,  'whose 
names  were  not  written  in  the  book  of  life  from  the  founda- 
tion of  the  world,  when  they  behold  the  beast  that  was,  and 
is  not,  and  yet  is. 

9  And  "^here  is  the  mind  which  hath  wisdom.  ''The  seven 
heads  are  seven  mountains,  on  which  the  woman  sitteth. 

10  And  there  are  seven  kings:  five  are  fallen,  and  one  is, 
and  the  other  is  not  yet  come ;  and  when  he  cometh,  he 
must  continue  a  short  space. 

11  And  the  beast  that  was,  and  is  not,  even  he  is  the  eighth, 
and  is  of  the  seven,  and  'goeth  into  perdition. 

12  And  ^the  ten  horns  which  thou  sawest  are  ten  kings, 
which  have  received  no  kingdom  as  yet;  but  receive  power 
as  kings  one  hour  with  the  beast. 

13  These  have  one  mind,  and  shall  give  their  power  and 
strength  unto  the  beast. 

14  "These  shall  make  war  with  the  Lamb,  and  the  Lamb  shall 
overcome  them :  ''for  he  is  Lord  of  lords,  and  King  of  kings : 
'and  they  that  are  with  him  are  called,  and  chosen,  and  faithful. 

15  And  he  saith  unto  me,  *The  waters  which  thou  sawest, 
where  the  whore  sitteth,  'are  peoples,  and  multitudes,  and 
nations,  and  tongues. 

16  And  the  ten  horns  which  thou  sawest  upon  the  beast, 
""these  shall  hate  the  whore,  and  shall  make  her  desolate 
"and  naked,  and  shall  eat  her  flesh,  and  "burn  her  with  fire. 

17  "For  God  hath  put  in  their  hearts  to  fulfil  his  will,  and 
to  agree,  and  give  their  kingdom  unto  the  beast,  'until  the 
words  of  God  shall  be  fulfilled. 

18  And  the  woman  which  thou  sawest  ''is  that  great  city, 
'which  reigneth  over  the  kings  of  the  earth. 

CHAPTER    XVIII. 

The /all  of  Babylon. 

AND  "after  these  things  I  saw  another  angel  come  down 
from  heaven,  haviug  great  power;  ""and  the  earth  was 
lightened  with  his  glory. 


20  And  every  island  fled  away,  and  the  mountains  were 

21  not  found.  And  great  hail,  every  stone  about  the 
weight  of  a  talent,  cometh  down  out  of  heaven 
upon  men :  and  men  blasphemed  God  because  of  the 
plague  of  the  hail ;  for  the  plague  thereof  is  exceed- 
ing great. 

-t*  And  there  came  one  of  the  seven  angels  that  had 
the  seven  bowls,  and  spake  with  me,  saying.  Come 
hither,  I  will  shew  thee  the  judgement  of  the  great 

2  harlot  that  sitteth  upon  many  waters ;  with  whom  the 
kings  of  the  earth  committed  fornication,  and  they 
that  dwell  in  the  earth  were  made  drunken  with  the 

3  wine  of  her  fornication.  And  he  carried  me  away 
in  the  Spirit  into  a  wilderness :  and  I  saw  a  woman 
sitting  upon  a  scarlet-coloured  beast,  'full  of  names 
of  blasphemy,  having  seven   heads  and  ten   horns. 

4  And  the  woman  was  arrayed  in  purple  and  scarlet, 
and  Mecked  with  gold  and  precious  stone  and  pearls, 
having  in  her  hand  a  golden  cup  full  of  abominations, 

5 'even  the  unclean  things  of  her  fornication,  and  upon 
her  forehead  a  name  written  ,*jiystery,  Babylon  the 

GREAT,  THE  JIOTHER  OF  THE  HARLOTS  AND  OF  THE 

6  ABOMINATIONS  OF  THE  EARTH.  And  I  saw  the  woman 
drunken  with  the  blood  of  the  saints,  and  with  the 
blood  of  the  'martyrs  of  Jesus.     And  when  I  saw 

7  her,  I  wondered  with  a  great  wonder.  And  the  angel 
said  unto  me.  Wherefore  didst  thou  wonder?  I  will 
tell  thee  the  mystery  of  the  woman,  and  of  the  beast 
that  carrieth  her,  which  hath  the  seven  heads  and  the 

8  ten  horns.  The  beast  that  thou  sawest  was,  and  is 
not ;  and  is  about  to  come  up  out  of  the  abyss,  'and 
to  go  into  perdition.  And  they  that  dwell  on  the 
earth  shall  wonder,  they  whose  name  hath  not  been 
written  'in  the  book  of  life  from  the  foundation  of 
the  world,  when  they  behold  the  beast,  how  that  he 

9  was,  and  is  not,  and  *shall  come.  Here  is  the  'mind 
which   hath  wisdom.     The   seven  heads   are   seven 

lOmountains,  on  which  the  woman  sitteth:  and  "they 
are  seven  kings;  the  five  are  fallen,  the  one  is,  the 
other  is  not  yet  come ;  and  when  he  cometh,  he  must 

11  continue  a  little  while.  And  the  beast  that  was,  and 
is  not,  is  himself  also  an  eighth,  and  is  of  the  seven ; 

12 and  he  goeth  into  perdition.  And  the  ten  horns  that 
thou  sawest  are  ten  kings,  which  have  received  no 
kingdom  as  yet ;  but  they  receive  authority  as  kings, 

13  with  the  beast,  for  one  hour.  These  have  one  mind, 
and  they  give  their  power  and   authority  unto  the 

14  beast.  These  shall  war  against  the  Lamb,  and  the 
Lamb  shall  overcome  them,  for  he  is  Lord  of  lords, 
and  King  of  kings;  and  they  also  shall  overcome  that 

15  are  with  him,  called  and  chosen  and  faithful.  And 
he  saith  unto  me,  The  waters  which  thou  sawest, 
where  the  harlot  sitteth,  are  peoples,  and  multitudes, 

16  and  nations,  and  tongues.  And  the  ten  horns  which 
thou  sawest,  and  the  beast,  these  shall  hate  the  harlot, 
and  shall  make  her  desolate  and  naked,  and  shall  eat 

17  her  flesh,  and  shall  burn  her  utterly  with  fire.  For 
God  did  put  in  their  hearts  to  do  his  mind,  and  to 
come  to  one  mind,  and  to  give  their  kingdom  unto 
the  beast,  until   the   words   of   God  should  be  ac- 

18complished.  And  the  woman  whom  thou  sawest 
is  the  great  city,  which  "reigneth  over  the  kings  of 
the  earth.

2  And  he  cried  migktily  ■witSi  a  Btrong  voice,  saying, 
"Bab'^y-lon  the  great  is  fallen,  is  fallen,  and  ""is  become  the 
habitation  of  devils,  and  the  hold  of  every  foul  spirit,  and  'a 
cage  of  every  unclean  and  hateful  bird. 

3  For  all  nations  ■'have  drunk  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of 
her  fornication,  and  the  kings  of  the  earth  have  committed 
fornication  with  her,  "and  the  merchants  of  the  earth  are 
waxed  rich  through  the  ||  abundance  of  her  delicacies. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice  from  heaven,  saying,  *Come 
out  of  her,  my  people,  that  ye  be  not  partakers  of  her  sins, 
and  that  ye  receive  not  of  her  plagues. 

5  *For  her  sins  have  reached  unto  heaven,  and  *God  hath 
remembered  her  iniquities. 

6  'Reward  her  even  as  she  rewarded  you,  and  double  unto 
her  double  according  to  her  works :  "in  the  cup  which  she 
hath  filled,  "fill  to  her  double. 

7  "How  much  she  hath  glorified  herself,  and  lived  deli- 
ciously,  so  much  torment  and  sorrow  give  her :  for  she  saith 
in  her  heart,  I  sit  a  "queen,  and  am  no  widow,  and  shall  see 
no  sorrow. 

8  Therefore  shall  her  plagues  come  'in  one  day,  death, 
and  mourning,  and  famine ;  and  ''she  shall  be  utterly  burned 
with  fire :  'for  strong  is  the  Lord  God  who  judgeth  her. 

9  And  'the  kings  of  the  earth,  who  have  committed  forni- 
cation and  lived  deliciously  with  her,  "shall  bewail  her,  and 
lament  for  her,  'when  they  shall  see  the  smoke  of  her 
burning, 

10  Standing  afar  off  for  the  fear  of  her  torment,  saying, 
"Alas,  alas,  that  great  city  Bab'y-lon,  that  mighty  city !  'for 
in  one  hour  is  thy  judgment  come. 

11  And  "the  merchants  of  the  earth  shall  weep  and  mourn 
over  her ;  for  no  man  buyeth  their  merchandise  any  more : 

12  'The  merchandise  of  gold,  aiul  silver,  and  precious 
stones,  and  of  pearls,  and  fine  linen,  and  purple,  and  silk, 
and  scarlet,  and  all  ||  thyine  wood,  and  all  manner  vessels  of 
ivory,  and  all  manner  vessels  of  most  precious  wood,  and  of 
brass,  and  iron,  and  marble, 

13  And  cinnamon,  and  odours,  and  ointments,  and  frank- 
incense, and  wine,  and  oil,  and  fine  flour,  and  wheat,  and 
beasts,  and  sheep,  and  horses,  and  chariots,  and  ||  slaves, 
and  "souls  of  men. 

14  And  the  fruits  that  thy  soul  lusted  after  are  departed 
from  thee,  and  all  things  which  were  dainty  and  goodly 
are  departed  from  thee,  and  thou  shalt  find  them  no  more 
at  all. 

15  ""The  merchants  of  these  things,  which  were  made  rich 
by  her,  shall  stand  afar  off,  for  the  fear  of  her  torment, 
weeping  and  wailing, 

16  And  saying,  Alas,  alas,  that  great  city,  'that  was 
clothed  in  fine  linen,  and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  decked 
with  gold,  and  precious  stones,  and  pearls ! 

17  ■''For  in  one  hour  so  great  riches  is  come  to  nought. 
And  "every  shipmaster,  and  all  the  company  in  ships,  and 
sailors,  and  as  many  as  trade  by  sea,  stood  afar  off, 

18  *And  cried  when  they  saw  the  smoke  of  her  burning, 
saying,  'What  city  is  like  unto  this  great  city ! 

19  And  *they  cast  du.st  on  their  heads,  and  cried,  weeping 
and  wailing,  saying,  Alas,  alas,  that  great  city,  wherein 
were  made  rich  all  that  had  ships  in  the  sea  by  reason  of  her 
costliness !  'for  in  one  hour  is  she  made  desolate. 

20  "Rejoice  over  her,  thou  heaven,  and  ye  holy  apostles 
and  prophets;  for  "God  hath  avenged  you  on  her. 

21  And  a  mighty  angel  took  up  a  stone  like  a  great  mill- 
stone, and  cast  it  into  the  sea,  saying,  "Thus  with  violence 
shall  that  great  city  Bab'y-lon  be  thrown  down,  and  "shall  be 
found  no  more  at  all. 

22  "And  the  voice  of  harpers,  and  musicians,  and  of  pipers, 
and  trumpeters,  shall  be  heard  no  more  at  all  in  thee ; 
and  no  craftsman,  of  whatsoever  craft  he  be,  shall  be  found 


2  And  he  cried  with  a  mighty  voice,  saying,  Fallen, 
fallen  is  Bab'y-lon  the  great,  and  is  become  a  habita- 
tion of  'devils,  and  a  ^hold  of  every  unclean  spirit, 

3  and  a  ^hold  of  every  unclean  and  hateful  bird.  For 
^by  *the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  fornication  all 
the  nations  are  fallen;  and  the  kings  of  the  earth 
committed  fornication  with  her,  and  the  merchants 
of  the  earth  waxed  rich  by  the  power  of  her  *wan- 
tonness. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice  from  heaven,  saying. 
Come  forth,  my  people,  out  of  her,  that  ye  have  no 
fellowship  with  her  sins,  and  that  ye  receive  not  of 

5 her  plagues:  for  her  sins  'have  reached  even  unto 
heaven,  and   God   hath  remembered  her  iniquities. 

6  Render  unto  her  even  as  she  rendered,  and  double 
unto  her  the  double  according  to  her  works:  in  the 
cup  which   she  mingled,   mingle    unto  her  double. 

7  How  much  soever  she  glorified  herself,  and  waxed 
'wanton,  so  much  give  her  of  torment  and  mourning : 
for  she  saith  in  her  heart,  I  sit  a  queen,  and  am  no 

8  widow,  and  shall  in  no  wise  see  mourning.  There- 
fore in  one  day  shall  her  plagues  come,  death,  and 
mourning,  and  famine;  and  she  shall  be  utterly  burned 
with  fire ;  for  strong  is  *the  Lord  God  which  judged 

9  her.  And  the  kings  of  the  earth,  who  committed 
fornication  and  lived  'wantonly  with  her,  shall  weep 
and  wail  over  her,  Avhen  they  look  upon  the  smoke 

10  of  her  burning,  standing  afar  off  for  the  fear  of  her 
torment,  saying.  Woe,  woe,  the  great  city,  Bab'y-lon 
the   strong  city !  for  in  one  hour  is  thy  judgement 

11  come.  And  the  merchants  of  the  earth  weep  and 
mourn  over  her,  for  no  man  buyeth  their  '"merchan- 

12 disc  any  more;  "merchandise  of  gold, and  silver, and 
precious  stone,  and  pearls,  and  fine  linen,  and  purple, 
and  silk,  and  scarlet ;  and  all  thyine  wood  and  every 
vessel  of  ivory,  and  every  vessel  made  of  most  pre- 

13cious  wood,  and  of  brass,  and  iron,  and  marble ;  and 
cinnamon,  and  "spice,  and  incense,  and  ointment,  and 
frankincense,  and  wine,  and  oil,  and  fine  flour,  and 
wheat,  and  cattle,  and  sheep;  and  merchandise  of 
horses  and  chariots  and  '^slaves;  and  "souls  of  men. 

14  And  the  fruits  which  thy  soul  lusted  after  are  gone 
from  thee,  and  all  things  that  were  dainty  and  sump- 
tuous are  perished  from  thee,  and  men  shall  find  them 

15  no  more  at  all.  The  merchants  of  these  things,  who 
were  made  rich  by  her,  shall  stand  afar  off  for  the  fear 

16  of  her  torment,  weeping  and  mourning ;  saying,  Woe, 
woe,  the  great  city,  she  that  was  arrayed  in  fine  linen 
and  purple  and  scarlet,  and  "decked  with  gold  and 

17 precious  stone  and  pearl!  for  in  one  hour  so  great 
riches  is  made  desolate.  And  everyvshipmaster,  and 
every  one  thatsaileth  any  whither,  and  mariners,  and 
as  many  as  "gain  their  living  by  sea,  stood  afar  off, 

18  and  cried  out  as  they  looked  upon  the  smoke  of  her 
burning,  saying,  What  city  is  like   the  great  city? 

19  And  they  cast  dust  on  their  heads,  and  cried,  weep- 
ing and  mourning,  saying,  Woe,  woe,  the  great  city, 
wherein  were  made  rich  all  that  had  their  ships  in 
the  sea  by  reason  of  her  costliness !  for  in  one  hour 

20  is  she  made  desolate.  Rejoice  over  her,  thou  heaven, 
and  ye  saints,  and  ye  apostles,  and  ye  prophets ;  for 
God  hath  judged  your  judgement  on  her. 

21  And  '"a  strong  angel  took  up  a  stone  as  it  were  a 
great  millstone,  and  cast  it  into  the  sea,  saying.  Thus 
with  a  mighty  fall  shall  Bab'y-lon,  the  great  city,  be 

22  cast  down,  and  shall  be  found  no  more  at  all.  And 
the  voice  of  harpers  and  minstrels  and  flute-players

thee;  'and  the  voice  of  the  bridegroom  and  of  the  bride 
shall  be  heard  no  more  at  all  in  thee :  for  'thy  merchants

CHAPTER   XIX. 

TAe  marriage  of  the  lamb, 

AND  after  these  things  "I   heard  a  great  voice  of  much 
people  in  heaven,  saying,  Alleluia :  ''Salvation,  and  glory, 
and  honour,  and  power,  unto  the  Lord  our  God : 

2  For  "true  and  righteous  are  his  judgments;  for  he  hath 
judged  the  great  whore,  which  did  corrupt  the  earth  with 
her  fornication,  and  ''bath  avenged  the  blood  of  his  servants 
at  her  hand. 

3  And  again  they  said,  Alleluia.  And  'her  smoke  rose 
up  for  ever  and  ever. 

4  And  Ahe  four  and  twenty  elders  and  the  four  beasts  fell 
down  and  worshipped  God  that  sat  on  the  throne,  saying, 
"Amen ;  Alleluia. 

5  And  a  voice  came  out  of  the  throne,  saying,  ''Praise  our 
God,  all  ye  his  servants,  and  ye  that  fear  him,  'both  small 
and  great. 

6  *And  I  heard  as  it  were  the  voice  of  a  great  multitude, 
and  as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and  as  the  voice  of  mighty 
thunderings,  saying.  Alleluia :  for  'the  Lord  God  omnipo- 
tent reigneth. 

7  Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice,  and  give  honour  to  him :  for 
"the  marriage  of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and  his  wife  hath  made 
herself  ready. 

8  And  "to  her  was  granted  that  she  should  be  arrayed  in 
fine  linen,  clean  and  ||  white  :  "for  the  fine  linen  is  the  right- 
eousness of  saints. 

9  And  he  saith  unto  me.  Write,  "Blessed  are  they  which 
are  called  unto  the  marriage  supper  of  the  Lamb.  And  he 
saith  unto  me,  'These  are  the  true  sayings  of  God. 

10  And  ''I  fell  at  his  feet  to  worship  him.  And  he  said 
unto  me,  'See  thou  do  it  not:  L  am  thy  fellow  servant,  aud 
of  thy  brethren  'that  have  the  testimony  of  Jesus :  worship 
God :  for  the  testimony  of  Jesus  is  the   spirit  of  prophecy. 

11  "And  I  saw  heaven  opened,  and  behold  ""a  white  horse; 
and  he  that  sat  upon  him  was  called  "Faithful  and  True, 
and  'in  righteousness  he  doth  judge  and  make  war. 

12  "His  eyes  were  as  a  flame  of  fire,  ''and  on  his  head  were 
many  crowns;  ''and  he  had  a  name  written,  that  no  man 
knew,  but  he  himself. 

13  ''And  he  leas  clothed  with  a  vesture  dipped  in  blood: 
and  his  name  is  called  "The  Word  of  God. 

14  ■'^And  the  armies  tvhich  were  in  heaven  followed  him 
upon  white  horses,  "clothed  in  fine  linen,  white  aud  clean. 

15  And  ''out  of  his  mouth  goeth  a  sharp  sword,  that  with 
it  he  should  smite  the  nations :  and  'he  shall  rule  them  with 
a  rod  of  iron :  and  *lie  treadeth  the  winepress  of  the  fierce- 
ness and  wrath  of  Almighty  God. 

16  And  'he  hath  on  his  vesture  and  on  his  thigh  a  name 
written,  -"KING  OF  KINGS,  AND  LORD  OF  LORDS. 

17  And  I  saw  an  angel  standing  in  the  sun;  and  he  cried 
with  a  loud  voice,  saying  "to  all  the  fowls  that  fly  in  the- 
midst  of  heaven,  "Come  and  gather  yourselves  together 
unto  the  supper  of  the  great  God  ; 

18  "That  ye  may  eat  the  flesh  of  kings,  and  the  flesh  of 
captains,  and  the  flesh  of  mighty  men,  and  the  flesh  of 
horses,  and  of  them  that  sit  on  them,  and  the  flesh  of  all 
men,  both  free  and  bond,  both  small  and  great. 

19  'And  I  saw  the  beast,  and  the  kings  of  the  earth,  and 


any  more  at  all  in  thee ;  and  the  voice  of  a  milktone 

23  shall  be  heard  no  more  at  all  in  thee ;  and  the  light 
of  a  lamp  shall  shine  no  more  at  all  in  thee ;  and  the 
voice  of  the  bridegroom  and  of  the  bride  shall  be 
heard  no  more  at  all  in  thee :  for  thy  merchants  were 
the  princes  of  the  earth ;  for  with  thy  sorcery  were 

24  all  the  nations  deceived.  And  in  her  was  found  the 
blood  of  prophets  and  of  saints,  and  of  all  that  have 
been  slain  upon  the  earth. 

-•-V  After  these  things  I  heard  as  it  were  a  great  voice 
of  a  great  multitude  in  heaven,  saying.  Hallelujah ; 
Salvation,  and  glory,  and  power,  belong  to  our  God; 
2 for  true  and  righteous  are  his  judgements;  for  he 
hath  judged  the  great  harlot,  which  did  corrupt  the 
earth  with  her  fornication,  and  he  hath  avenged  the 

3  blood  of  his  servants  at  her  hand.  And  a  second 
time  they  'say,  Hallelujah.     And  her  smoke  goeth 

4  up  ^for  ever  and  ever.  And  the  ibur  and  twenty 
elders  and  the  four  living  creatures  fell  down  and 
worshipped  God  that  sitteth  on  the  throne,  saying, 

5  Amen ;  Hallelujah.  And  a  voice  came  forth  from  the 
throne,  saying.  Give  praise  to  our  God,  all  ye  his 
servants,  ye  that  fear  him,  the  small  and  the  great. 

6  And  I  heard  as  it  were  the  voice  of  a  great  mul- 
titude, and  as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and  as  the 
voice   of  mighty  thunders,  saying.   Hallelujah:  for 

7  the  Lord  our  God,  the  J^imighty,  reigneth.  Let  us 
rejoice  and  be  exceeding  glad,  and  let  us  give  the 
glory  unto  him :  for  the  marriage  of  the  Lamb  is 

8  come,  and  his  wife  hath  made  herself  ready.  And 
it  was  given  unto  her  that  she  should  array  herself 
in  fine  linen,  bright  and  pure :    for  the  fine  linen  is 

9  the  righteous  acts  of  the  saints.  And  he  saith  unto 
me,  Wnte,  Blessed  are  they  which  are  bidden  to  the 
marriage  supper  of  the  Lamb.     And  he  saith  unto 

10  me.  These  are  true  words  of  God.  And  I  fell  down 
before  his  feet  to  worship  him.  And  he  saith  unto 
me.  See  thou  do  it  not :  I  am  a  fellow-servant  with 
thee  and  with  thy  brethren  that  hold  the  testimony 
of  Jesus :  worship  God :  for  the  testimony  of  Jesus 
is  the  spirit  of  prophecy. 

11  And  I  saw  the  heaven  opened;  and  behold,  a 
white  horse,  and  he  that  sat  thereon,  'called  Faith- 
ful and  True;   and  in    righteousness  he  doth  judge 

12  and  make  war.  And  his  eyes  are  a  flame  of  fire, 
and  upon  his  head  are  many  diadems ;  and  he  hath 
a  name  written,  which  no  one  knoweth  but  he  him- 

13  self  And  he  is  arrayed  in  a  garment  ^sprinkled 
with   blood :  and   his  name  is  called  The  Word  of 

14  God.  And  the  armies  which  are  in  heaven  followed 
him  upon  white  horses,  clothed  in  fine  linen,  white 

lb  and   pure.     And    out    of   his    mouth    proceedeth  a 
sharp  sword,  that   with  it   he  should  smite  the  aa. 
tions:  and  he  shall  rule  them   with  a  rod   of  iron  : 
and  he  treadeth  the  'winepress  of  the  fierceness  of 

16  the  wrath  of  Almighty  God.  And  he  hath  on  his 
garment  and  on  his  thigh  a  name  written,  KIXG  of 

KINGS,  AND  LORD  OF  LOBDS. 

17  And  I  saw  "an  angel  standing  in  the  sun,  and  he 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying  to  all  the  birds  that 
fly  in  mid   heaven.  Come  and  be  gathered  together 

18 unto  the  great  supper  of  God;  that  ye  may  eat  the 
flesh  of  kings,  and  the  flesh  of  'captains,  and  the 
flesh  of  mighty  men,  aud  the  flesh  of  horses  and  of 
them  that  sit  thereon,  and  the  flesh  of  all  men,  both 
free  and  bond,  and  small  and  great. 

19     And  I  saw  the  beast,  and  the  kings  of  the  earth,  and

their  armies,  gathered  togetlier  to  make  war  against  kim 
that  sat  on  the  horse,  and  against  his  army. 

20  'And  the  beast  was  taken,  and  with  him  the  false 
prophet  that  wrought  miracles  before  him,  with  which  he 
deceived  them  that  had  received  the  mark  of  the  beast,  and 
'them  that  worshipped  his  image.  'These  both  were  cast 
alive  into  a  lake  of  fire  "burning  with  brimstone. 

21  And  the  remnant  "^were  slain  with  the  sword  of  him 
that  sat  upon  the  horse,  which  stoord  proceeded  out  of  his 
mouth:  "and  all  the  fowls  'were  filled  with  their  flesh. 

CHAPTER  XX. 

The  Jirst  and  last  resurrection, 

AND  I  saw  an  angel  come  down  from  heaven,  "having  the 
key  of  the  bottomless  pit  and  a  great  chain  in  his  hand. 

2  And  he  laid  hold  on  'the  dragon,  that  old  serpent,  which 
is  the  Devil,  and  Sa'tan,  and  bound  him  a  thousand  years, 

3  And  cast  him  into  the  bottomless  pit,  and  shut  him  up, 
and  ''set  a  seal  upon  him,  'that  he  should  deceive  the  nations 
no  more,  till  the  thousand  years  should  be  fulfilled ;  and 
after  that  he  must  be  loosed  a  little  season. 

4  And  I  saw  ■''thrones,  and  they  sat  upon  them,  and  'judg- 
ment was  given  unto  them :  and  I  saw  *the  souls  of  them 
that  were  beheaded  for  the  witness  of  Jesus,  and  for  the  word 
of  God,  and  "which  had  not  worshipped  the  beast,  ''neither 
his  image,  neither  had  received  Ms  mark  upon  their  fore- 
heads, or  in  their  hands;  and  they  lived  and  'reigned  with 
Christ  a  thousand  years. 

5  But  the  rest  of  the  dead  lived  not  again  until  the  thou- 
sand years  were  finished.     This  is  the  first  resurrection. 

6  Blessed  and  holy  is  he  that  hath  part  in  the  first  resur- 
rection :  on  such  "the  second  death  hath  no  power,  but  they 
shall  be  "priests  of  God  and  of  Christ,  "and  shall  reign  with 
him  a  thousand  years. 

7  And  when  the  thousand  years  are  expired,  ''Sa'tan  shall 
be  loosed  out  of  his  prison, 

8  And  shall  go  out  'to  deceive  the  nations  which  are  in 
the  four  quarters  of  the  earth,  'Gog  and  Ma'gog,  'to  gather 
them  together  to  battle :  the  number  of  whom  is  as  the  sand 
of  the  sea. 

9  'And  they  went  up  on  the  breadth  of  the  earth,  and  com- 
passed the  camp  of  the  saints  about,  and  the  beloved  city :  and 
fire  came  down  from  God  out  of  heaven,  and  devoured  them. 

10  "And  the  devil  that  deceived  them  was  cast  into  the  lake 
of  fire  and  brimstone,  ''where  the  beast  and  the  false  prophet 
are,  and  "shall  be  tormented  day  and  night  for  ever  and  ever. 

1 1  And  I  saw  a  great  white  throne,  and  him  that  sat  on 
it,  from  whose  face  'the  earth  and  the  heaven  fled  away; 
"and  there  was  found  no  place  for  them. 

12  And  I  saw  the  dead,  ''small  and  great,  stand  before 
God ;  "^and  the  books  were  opened :  and  another  ''book  was 
opened,  which  is  the  book  of  life:  and  the  dead  were  judged 
out  of  those  things  which  were  written  in  the  books,  'ac- 
cording to  their  works. 

13  And  the  sea  gave  up  the  dead  which  were  in  it;  and 
^death  and  ||hell  delivered  up  the  dead  which  were  in  them: 
"and  they  were  judged  every  man  according  to  their  works. 

14  And  ''death  and  hell  were  cast  into  the  lake  of  fire.  'This 
is  the  second  death. 

15  And  whosoever  was  not  found  written  in  the  book  of 
life  *was  cast  into  the  lake  of  fire. 

CHAPTER   XXI. 

New  Jerusalem  described. 

AND  "I  saw  a  new  heaven  and  a  new  earth :  *for  the  first 
heaven  and  the  first  earth  were  passed  away ;  and  there 
was  no  more  sea. 

2  And  I  John  saw  'the  holy  city,  new  Je-ru'sa-lem,  coming 
down  from  God  out  of  heaven,  prepared  ''as  a  bride  adorned 
for  her  husband. 


their  armies,  gathered  together  to  make  war  against 
him  that  sat  upon  the  horse,  and  against  his  army. 

20  And  the  beast  was  taken,  and  with  him  the  false 
prophet  that  wrought  the  signs  in  his  sight,  where- 
with he  deceived  them  that  had  received  the  mark 
of  the  beast,  and  them  that  worshipped  his  image : 
they  twain  were  cast  alive  into  the  lake  of  fire  that 

21  burneth  with  brimstone :  and  the  rest  were  killed 
with  the  sword  of  him  that  sat  upon  the  horse,  even 
the  sword  which  came  forth  out  of  his  mouth :  and 
all  the  birds  were  filled  with  their  flesh. 

^  V  And  I  saw  an  angel  coming  down  out  of  heaven, 
having  the  key  of  the  abyss  and  a  great  chain  'in 

2  his  hand.  And  he  laid  hold  on  the  dragon,  the  old 
serpent,  which  is  the  Devil  and  Sa'tan,  and  bound 

3  him  for  a  thousand  years,  and   cast  him  into  the 
abyss,  and  shut  it,  and  sealed  it  over  him,  that  he 
should  deceive  the  nations  no  more,  until  the  thou 
sand  years  should  be  finished :  after  this  he  must  be 
loosed  for  a  little  time. 

4  And  I  saw  thrones,  and  they  sat  upon  them,  and 
judgement  was  given  unto  them :  and  I  saw  the  souls 
of  them  that  had  been  beheaded  for  the  testimony 
of  Jesus,  and  for  the  word  of  God,  and  such  as  wor 
shipped  not  the  beast,  neither  his  image,  and  received 
not  the  marTc  upon  their  forehead  and  upon  their  hand ; 
and  they  lived,  and  reigned  with  Christ  a  thousand 

5  years.  The  rest  of  the  dead  lived  not  until  the 
thousand  years  should  be  finished.     This  is  the  first 

6  resurrection.  Blessed  and  holy  is  he  that  hath  part 
in  the  first  resurrection  :  over  these  the  second  death 
hath  no  ^power;  but  they  shall  be  priests  of  God 
and  of  Christ,  and  shall  reign  with  him  'a  thousand 
years. 

7  And  when  the  thousand  years  are  finished,  Sa'tan 

8  shall  be  loosed  out  of  his  prison,  and  shall  come 
forth  to  deceive  the  nations  which  are  in  the  four 
corners  of  the  earth,  Gog  and  Ma'gog,  to  gather 
them  together  to  the  war :  the  number  of  whom  is 

9  as  the  sand  of  the  sea.  And  they  went  up  over  the 
breadth  of  the  earth,  and  compassed  the  camp  of  the 
saints  about,  and  the  belo%-ed  city:    and  fii-e  came 

10  down  ^out  of  heaven,  and  devoured  them.  And  the 
devil  that  deceived  them  was  cast  into  the  lake  of 
fire  and  brimstone,  where  are  also  the  beast  and  the 
false  prophet ;  and  they  shall  be  tormented  day  and 
night  'for  ever  and  ever. 

11  And  I  saw  a  great  white  throne,  and  him  that  sat 
upon  it,  from  whose  face  the  earth  and  the  heaven 
fled  away;  and  there  was  found  no  place  for  them. 

12  And  I  saw  the  dead,  the  great  and  the  small,  stand- 
ing before  the  throne ;  and  books  were  opened  :  and 
another  book  was  opened,  which  is  the  book  of  life : 
and  the  dead  were  judged  out  of  the  things  which 
were  written  in  the  books,  according  to  their  works. 

13  And  the  sea  gave  up  the  dead  which  were  in  it;  and 
death  and  Ha'des  gave  up  the  dead  which  were  in 
them :  and  they  were  judged  every  man  according 

14  to  their  works.  And  death  and  Ha'des  were  cast 
into  the  lake  of  fire.     This  is  the  second  death,  even 

15  the  lake  of  fire.  And  if  any  was  not  found  written 
in  the  book  of  life,  he  was  cast  into  the  lake  of  fire. 

^*     And  I  saw  a  new  heaven  and  a  new  earth :    for 

the  first  heaven  and  the  first  earth  are  passed  away ; 

2  and  the  sea  is  no  more.     And  I  saw  Hne  holy  city, 

new  Je-ru'sa-lem,  coming  down  out  of  heaven  from 

God,  made  ready  as  a  bride  adorned  for  her  husband.

3  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  heaven,  saying,  Behold, 
•the  tabernacle  of  God  ia  with  men,  and  he  will  dwell  with 
them,  and  they  shall  be  his  people,  and  God  himself  shall 
be  with  them,  and  be  their  God. 

4  -^And  God  shall  wipe  away  all  tears  from  their  eyes; 
"and  there  shall  be  no  more  death,  'neither  sorrow,  nor 
crying,  neither  shall  there  be  any  more  pain :  for  the  former 
things  are  passed  away. 

5  And  'he  that  sat  upon  the  throne  said,  *Behold,  I  make 
all  things  new.  And  he  said  unto  me,  Write:  for  'these 
words  are  true  and  faithful. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me,  "It  is  done.  "I  am  Al'pha  and 
O'me-ga,  the  beginning  and  the  end.  °1  will  give  unto  him 
that  is  athirst  of  the  fountain  of  the  water  of  life  freely. 

7  He  that  overeometh  shall  inherit  ||all  things;  and  ''I 
will  be  his  God,  and  he  shall  be  my  son. 

8  'But  the  fearful,  and  unbelieving,  and  the  abominable, 
and  murderers,  and  whoremongers,  and  sorcerers,  and  idola- 
ters, and  all  liars,  shall  have  their  part  in  ''the  lake  which 
burneth  with  fire  and  brimstone:  which  is  the  second  death. 

9  And  there  came  unto  me  one  of  'the  seven  angels  which 
had  the  seven  vials  full  of  the  seven  last  plagues,  and  talked 
with  me,  saying.  Come  hither,  I  will  shew  thee  'the  bride, 
the  Lamb's  wife. 

10  And  he  carried  me  away  "in  the  spirit  to  a  great  and 
high  mountain,  and  shewed  me  ''that  great  city,  the  holy 
Je-ru'sa-lem,  descending  out  of  heaven  from  God, 

11  "Having  the  glory  of  God:  and  her  light  was  like  unto  a 
stone  most  precious,  even  like  a  jasper  stone,  clear  as  crystal ; 

12  And  had  a  wall  great  and  high,  and  had  'twelve  gates, 
and  at  the  gates  twelve  angels,  and  names  written  thereon, 
which  are  the  navies  of  the  twelve  tribes  of  the  children 
of  Is'ra-el: 

13  "On  the  east  three  gates;  on  the  north  three  gates;  on 
the  south  three  gates;  and  on  the  west  three  gates. 

14  And  the  wall  of  the  city  had  twelve  foundations,  and 
'in  them  the  names  of  the  twelve  apostles  of  the  Lamb. 

15  And  he  that  talked  with  me  "had  a  golden  reed  to  meas- 
ure the  city,  and  the  gates  thereof,  and  the  wall  thereof. 

16  And  the  city  lieth  foursquare,  and  the  length  is  as  large 
as  the  breadth ;  and  he  measured  the  city  with  the  reed, 
twelve  thousand  furlongs.  The  length  and  the  breadth  and 
the  height  of  it  are  equal. 

17  And  he  measured  the  wall  thereof,  a  hundred  and  forty 
and  four  cubits,  according  to  the  measure  of  a  man,  that  is, 
of  the  angel. 

18  And  the  building  of  the  wall  of  it  was  q/" jasper:  and 
the  city  was  pure  gold,  like  unto  clear  glass. 

19  ''A.nd  the  foundations  of  the  wall  of  the  city  were  gar- 
nished with  all  manner  of  precious  stones.  The  first  foun- 
dation was  jasper;  the  second,  sapphire;  the  third,  a  chal- 
cedony ;  the  fourth,  an  emerald  ; 

20  The  fifth,  sardonyx ;  the  sixth,  sardius ;  the  seventh, 
chrysolyte;  the  eighth,  beryl;  the  ninth,  a  topaz;  the  tenth, 
a  chrysoprasus ;  the  eleventh,  a  jacinth ;  the  twelfth,  an 
amethyst. 

21  And  the  twelve  gates  were  twelve  pearls ;  every  several 
gate  was  of  one  ])earl ;  'and  the  street  of  the  city  was  pure 
gold,  as  it  were  transparent  glass. 

22  -^And  I  saw  no  temple  therein :  for  the  Lord  God  Al- 
mighty and  the  Lamb  are  the  temple  of  it. 

23  "And  the  city  had  no  need  of  the  sun,  neither  of  the 
moon,  to  shine  in  it :  for  the  glory  of  God  did  lighten  it, 
and  the  Lamb  is  the  light  thereof. 

24  'And  the  nations  of  them  which  are  saved  shall  walk 
in  the  light  of  it :  and  the  kings  of  the  earth  do  bring  their 
glory  and  honour  into  it. 

25  And  the  gates  of  it  shall  not  be  shut  at  all  by  day : 
for  *there  shall  be  no  night  there. 


3  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  the  throne  saying, 
Behold,  the  tabernacle  of  God  is  with  men,  and  he 
shall  'dwell  with  them,  and  they  shall  be  his  peoples, 
and  God  himself  shall  be  with  them,  'and  be  their 

4 God:  and  he  shall  wipe  away  every  tear  from  their 
eyes;  and  death  shall  be  no  more;  neither  shall  there 
be  mourning,  nor  crying,  nor  pain,  any  more  :  the  first 

5  things  are  passed  away.  And  he  that  sitteth  on  the 
throne  said.  Behold,  I  make  all  things  new.  And 
he  saith,  'Write:   for  these  words  are  faithful  and 

6  true.  And  he  said  unto  me.  They  are  come  to  pass. 
I  am  the  Al'pha  and  the  O'me-ga,  the  beginning  and 
the  end.     I  will  give  unto  him  that  is  athirst  of  the 

7  fountain  of  the  water  of  life  freely.  He  that  over- 
eometh shall  inherit  these  things;  and  I  will  be  his 

8  God,  and  he  shall  be  my  son.  But  for  the  fearful, 
and  unbelieving,  and  abominable,  and  murderers, 
and  fornicators,  and  sorcerers,  and  idolaters,  and  all 
liars,  their  part  shall  be  in  the  lake  that  burneth  with 
fire  and  brimstone ;  which  is  the  second  death. 

9  And  there  came  one  of  the  seven  angels  who  had 
the  seven  bowls,  who  were  laden  with  the  seven  last 
plagues ;  and  he  spake  with  me,  saying,  Come  hither, 

10 1  will  shew  thee  the  bride,  the  wife  of  the  Lamb.  And 
he  carried  me  away  in  the  Spirit  to  a  mountain  great 
and  high,  and  shewed  me  the  holy  city  Je-ru'sa-iem, 

11  coming  down  out  of  heaven  from  God,  having  the 
glory  of  God :  her  *light  was  like  unto  a  stone  most 
precious,  as  it  were  a  jasper  stone,  clear  as  crystal : 

12 having  a  wall  great  and  high;  having  twelve  'gates, 
and  at  the  'gates  twelve  angels;  and  names  written 
thereon  which  are  the  names  of  the  twelve  tribes  of 

13 the  children  of  Is'ra-el :  on  the  east  were  three  'gates; 
and  on  the  north  three  'gates;  and  on  the  south  three 

1 4  'gates ;  and  on  the  west  three  'gates.  And  the  wall  of 
the  city  had  twelve  foundations,  and  on  them  twelve 

15  names  of  the  twelve  apostles  of  the  Lamb.  And  he 
that  spake  with  me  had  for  a  measure  a  golden  reed 
to  measure  the  city,  and  the  'gates  thereof,  and  the 

16  wall  thereof.  And  the  city  lieth  foursquare,  and  the 
length  thereof  is  as  great  as  the  breadth:  and  he 
measured  the  city  with  the  reed,  twelve  thousand  fur- 
longs:   the  length  and  the  breadth  and  the  height 

17  thereof  are  equal.  And  he  measured  the  wall  there- 
of, a  hundred  and  forty  and  four  cubits,  according  to 

18  the  measure  of  a  man,  that  is,  of  an  angel.  And  the 
building  of  the  wall  thereof  was  jasper:  and  the  city 

19  was  pure  gold,  like  unto  pure  glass.  The  foundations 
of  the  wall  of  the  city  were  adorned  with  all  manner 
of  precious  stones.  The  first  foundation  was  jasper; 
the   second,  ^sapphire ;   the  third,  chalcedony;   the 

20  fourth,  emerald ;  the  fifth,  sardonyx ;  the  sixth,  sar- 
dius; the  seventh,  chrysolite ;  the  eighth,  beryl ;  the 
ninth,  topaz;  the  tenth,  chrysoprase;  the  eleventh, 

21  "jacinth ;  the  twelfth,  amethyst.  And  the  twelve 
'gates  Avere  twelve  pearls;  each  one  of  the  several 
'gates  was  of  one  pearl :  and  the  street  of  the  city 

22  was  pure  gold,  *as  it  were  transparent  glass.  And 
I  saw  no  temple  therein :  for  the  Lord  God  the 
Almighty,  and   the  Lamb,  are  the   temple  thereof. 

23  And  the  city  hath  no  need  of  the  sun,  neither  of 
the  moon,  to  shine  upon  it:  for  the  glory  of  God 
did  lighten  it,  'and  the  lamp  thereof  is  the  Lamb. 

24  And  the  nations  shall  walk  '"amidst  the  light  there- 
of: and  the  kings  of  the  earth  do  bring  their  glory 

25  into  it.  And  the  'gates  thereof  shall  in  no  wise 
be  shut  by  day  (for  there  shall  be  no  night  there) :

26  ''And  they  shall  Iwring  the  glory  and  honour  of  the 
nations  into  it. 

27  And  "there  shall  in  na  wise  enter  into  it  any  thing  that 
defileth,  neither  whatsoever  worketh  abomination  or  maketh 
a  lie :  but  they  which  are  written  in  the  Lamb's  "book  of  life. 

CHAPTER    XXII. 

The  river  and  tree  of  life. 

AND  he  shewed  me  "a  pure  river  of  water  of  life,  clear 
as  crystal,  proceeding  out  of  the  throne  of  God  and  of 
the  Lamb. 

2  'In  the  midst  of  the  street  of  it,  and  on  either  side  of  the 
river,  was  there  ''the  tree  of  life,  which  bare  twelve  manner 
of  fruits,  and  yielded  her  fruit  every  month :  and  the  leaves 
of  the  tree  were  ''for  the  healing  of  the  nations. 

3  And  'there  shall  be  no  more  curse :  -^nt  the  throne  of 
God  and  of  the  Lamb  shall  be  in  it ;  and  his  servants  shall 
serve  him : 

4  And  'they  shall  see  his  face ;  and  *his  name  shall  be  in 
their  foreheads. 

5  'And  there  shall  be  no  night  there;  and  they  need  no 
candle,  neither  light  of  the  sun ;  for  *the  Lord  God  giveth 
them  light:  'and  they  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me,  ""These  sayings  are  faithful  and 
true :  and  the  Lord  Gt)d  of  the  holy  prophets  "sent  his 
angel  to  shew  unto  his  servants  the  things  which  must 
shortly  be  done. 

7  "Behold,  I  come  quickly:  ^blessed  is  he  that  keepeth 
the  sayings  of  the  prophecy  of  this  book. 

8  And  I  John  saw  these  things,  and  heard  them.  And 
when  I  had  heard  and  seen,  'I  fell  down  to  worship  before 
the  feet  of  the  angel  which  shewed  me  these  things. 

9  Then  saith  he  unto  me,  'See  thou  do  it  not :  for  I  am  thy 
fellow  servant,  and  of  thy  brethren  the  prophets,  and  of 
them  which  keep  the  sayings  of  this  book :  worship  God. 

10  'And  he  saith  unto  me.  Seal  not  the  sayings  of  the 
prophecy  of  this  book :  'for  the  time  is  at  hand. 

11  "He  that  is  unjust,  let  him  be  uuju.st  still:  and  he 
which  is  filthy,  let  him  be  filthy  still :  and  he  that  is  right- 
eous, let  him  be  righteous  still :  and  he  that  is  holy,  let  him 
be  holy  still. 

12  *And,  behold,  I  come  quickly;  and  *my  reward  is  with 
me,  'to  give  every  man  according  as  his  work  shall  be. 

13  "I  am  Al'pha  and  O'me-ga,  the  beginning  and  the  end, 
the  first  and  the  last. 

14  'Blessed  are  they  that  do  his  commandments  that  they 
may  have  right  ''to  the  tree  of  life,  ''and  may  enter  in  through 
the  gates  into  the  city. 

15  For  'without  are  ■'^dogs,  and  sorcerers,  and  whore- 
mongers, and  murderers,  and  idolaters,  and  whosoever 
loveth  and  maketh  a  lie. 

16  'I  Jesus  have  sent  mine  angel  to  testify  unto  you  these 
things  in  the  churches.  ''I  am  the  root  and  the  offspring  of 
Da'vid,  and  'the  bright  and  morning  star. 

17  And  the  Spirit  and  *the  bride  say.  Come.  And  let  him 
that  heareth  say.  Come,  'And  let  him  that  is  athirst 
come.  And  whosoever  will,  let  him  take  the  water  of 
life  freely. 

18  For  I  testify  unto  every  man  that  heareth  the  words  of 
the  prophecy  of  this  book,  ""If  any  man  shall  add  unto  these 
things,  God  shall  add  unto  him  the  plagues  that  are  written 
in  this  book : 

19  And  if  any  man  shall  take  away  from  the  words  of  the 
book  of  this  prophecy,  "God  shall  take  away  his  part  ||  out 
of  the  book  of  life,  and  out  of  "the  holy  city,  and  from  the 
things  which  are  written  in  this  book. 

20  He  which  testifieth  these  things  saith,  "Surely  I  come 
quickly:  'Araen.     'Even  so,  come.  Lord  Jesus. 

21  'The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  with  you  all. 
Amen. 


26  and  they  shall  bring  the  glory  and  the  honour  of 

27  the  nations  into  it :  and  there  shall  in  no  wise  enter 
into  it  anything  'unclean,  or  he  that  'maketh  an 
abomination  and  a  lie:  but  only  they  which  are 
written  in  the  Lamb's  book  of  life. 

1^^  And  he  shewed  me  a  river  of  water  of  life,  bright 
as  crystal,  proceeding  out  of  the  throne  of  God  and 

2  of 'the  Lamb,  in  the  midst  of  the  street  thereof.  And 
on  this  side  of  the  river  and  on  that  was  Hhe  tree  of 
life,  bearing  twelve  ''manner  of  fruits,  yielding  its  fruit 
every  month :  and  the  leaves  of  the  tree  were  for  the 

3  healing  of  the  nations.  And  there  shall  be  'no  curse 
any  more :  and  the  throne  of  God  and  of  the  Lamb 
shall  be  therein :  and  his  servants  shall  do  him  serv- 

4  ice ;  and  they  shall  see  his  face ;  and  his  name  shall 

5  be  on  their  foreheads.  And  there  shall  be  night  no 
more ;  and  they  need  no  light  of  lamp,  neither  light 
of  sun ;  for  the  Lord  God  shall  give  them  light :  and 
they  shall  reign  ^for  ever  and  ever. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me.  These  words  are  faithful 
and  true :  and  the  Lord,  the  God  of  the  spirits  of 

•the  prophets,  sent  his  angel  to  shew  unto  his  serv- 
ants the  things  which  must  shortly  come  to  pass. 

7  And  behold,  I  come  quickly.  Blessed  is  he  that 
keepeth  the  words  of  the  prophecy  of  this  book. 

8  And  I  John  am  he  that  heard  and  saw  these  things. 
And  when  I  heard  and  saw,  I  fell  down  to  worship 
before  the  feet  of  the  angel  which  shewed  me  these 

9  things.  And  he  saith  unto  me,  See  thou  do  it  not: 
I  am  a  fellow-servant  with  thee  and  with  thy  breth- 
ren the  prophets,  and  with  them  which  keep  the 
words  of  this  book :  worship  God. 

10  And  he  saith  unto  me.  Seal  not  up  the  words  of  the 

11  prophecy  of  this  book;  for  the  time  is  at  hand.  He 
that  is  unrighteous,  let  him  do  unrighteousness  'still : 
and  he  that  is  filthy,  let  him  be  made  filthy  'still:  and 
he  that  is  righteous,  let  bitn  do  righteousness  'still: 

12  and  he  that  is  holy,  let  him  be  made  holy 'still.  Be- 
hold, I  come  quickly ;  and  my  'reward  is  with  me,  to 

13  render  to  each  man  according  as  his  work  is.  I  am  the 
Al'pha  and  the  O'me-ga,  the  first  and  the  last,  the  be- 

14  ginning  and  the  end.  Blessed  are  they  that  wash  their 
robes,  that  they  may  have  '"the  right  to  come  to  the 
tree  of  life,  and  may  enter  in  by  the  "gates  into  the 

15  city.  Without  are  the  dogs,  and  the  sorcerers,  and 
the  fornicators,  and  the  murderers,  and  the  idolaters, 
and  every  one  that  loveth  and  '^maketh  a  lie. 

16  I  Jesus  have  sent  mine  angel  to  testify  unto 
you  these  things  "for  the  churches.  I  am  the  root 
and  the  offspring  of  Da'vid,  the  bright,  the  morn- 
ing star. 

17  "And  the  Spirit  and  the  bride  say.  Come.  And 
he  that  heareth,  let  him  say.  Come.  And  he  that  is 
athirst,  let  him  come :  he  that  will,  let  him  take  the 
water  of  life  freely. 

18  I  testify  unto  every  man  that  heareth  the  words  of 
the  prophecy  of  this  book.  If  any  man  shall  add  "unto 
them,  God  shall  add  "unto  him  the  plagues  which  are 

19  written  in  this  book:  and  if  any  man  shall  take  away 
from  the  words  of  the  book  of  this  prophecy,  God 
shall  take  away  his  part  from  the  tree  of  life,  and 
out  of  the  holy  city,  ''which  are  written  in  this  book. 

20  He  which  testifieth  these  things  saith,  Yea :  I  come 
quickly.     Amen :  come.  Lord  Jesus. 

21  The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  "be  "with  the  saints. 
Amen.

this  time  Manasseh  and  Ephraim,  Joseph's  two  sons,  are  bom  ol

PERIOD   IV. 

From  the  departure  of  the  Israelites  till  Phaxaoh 
gives  his  daughter  in  marriage  to  Solomon,  B.  C.  1014, 

UPON  the  fourteenth  day  of  the  first  mouth  (which  was  May  the  4th, 
upon  Monday  with  us),  in  the  evening,  the  passover  is  instituted. 

Upon  the  fifteenth  of  the  same  month,  at  midnight,  the  first-born  of 
Egypt  being  all  slain,  Pharaoh  and  his  servants  make  haste  to  send  away 
the  Israelites  ;  and  they,  the  self-same  day  wherein  they  were  let  go  out 
nf  bondage,  being  the  complete  term  of  430  years  from  the  first  pilgrimage 
of  their  ancestors,  reckoning  from  Abraham's  denarture  out  of  Charran, 
take  theirjourney  and  marchaway,  being  600,000  men,  besides  children, 
and  come  to  Rameses,  from  whence  by  several  encampings  tliey  come 
to  the  Red  sea,  the  Lord  conducting  them  in  a  pillar  of  a  cloud  by  day 
and  in  a  plUarot  fire  by  night.    They  carry  Joseph's  bones  with  them. 

At  the  Red  eea  Pharaoh  with  his  host  overtakes  them;  Moses  divides 
the  waters  with  his  rod,  and  the  children  of  Israel  pass  through  on  dry 
ground  unto  the  desert  of  Etham ;  whom,  when  I'haraoh  and  his  army 
would  needs  follow,  they  are  all  overwhelmed  by  the  waters  coming  to- 
gether at  the  dawning  of  the  day,  whereby  the  Israelites  are  wholly 
freed  from  the  bondage  of  the  Egyptians :  whose  carcasses  when  thev  see 
floating  all  the  sea  over,  and  cast  upon  the  shore,  they  sing  a  song  of 
praise  and  thanksgiving  Unto  God. 

Upon  the  fifteenth  of  the  second  month  (our  Ju7ie  the  4th,  being 
Thursday),  the  Israelites  come  to  the  wilderness  of  Zin,  which  lieth 
between  Elyma  and  Sinai,  where,  for  want  of  food,  they  murmur 
against  God  and  their  leaders:  about  the  eventide  God  sends  them 
quails,  and  the  next  morning  rains  upon  them  manna  from  heaven ; 
and  uoon  that  kind  of  bread  they  lived  afterward  by  the  space  of  forty 
years.'even  till  they  came  to  the  borders  of  the  land  of  promise.  An 
omer  ol  it  Is  preserved  for  a,  memorial. 

God  piiblisheth  his  Law,  contained  in  the  Ten  C!ommandment8,  with 
a  terrible  voice  from  mount  Sinai. 

The  people  being  In  great  fear,  God  gives  them  sundry  other  laws,  all 
which  being  written  in  the  book  of  the  covenant,  Moses  proposeth  them 
to  the  people:  which  done,  rising  early  in  the  morning,  he  builds  an  altar 
at  the  foot  of  the  mountain,  and  sets  up  twelve  statues,  according  to  the 
twelve  tribes  of  Israel,  and  sends  twelve  young  men  of  the  first-born 
(whom  the  Lord  hath  consecrated  to  himself  as  ministers  of  those  holy 
things  before  the  Levitical  priesthood  was  ordained),  which  offer  sacri- 
fice, first  for  sin,  and  then  for  tlianksgiving,  to  the  Lord :  and  when  Moses 
had  read  the  book  of  the  covenant,  he  takes  the  blood  of  the  calves  and 

goats  so  offered,  and  with  water,  scarlet  wool  and  hyssop,  sprinkles  the 
ook  therewith,  and  all  the  people,  or  those  twelve  statues  representing 
them ;  and  so  performs  a  solemn  covenant  between  God  and  his  people. 

Moses  and  Aaron,  Nadab  and  Abihu,  and  seventy  men  of  the  elders  of 
Israel,  go  up  into  the  mount,  and  there  behold  the  glory  of  God:  the  rest 
returning.  Mosca  with  his  servant  Joshua  abides  there  still  and  waits  six 
days,  and  upon  the  seventh  day  God  speaks  unto  him,  and  there  he  con- 
tinues forty  days  and  forty  nights  (reckoning  those  sii  days  which  he 
waited  forthe  appearance  of  the  Lord),  eating  no  meat  all  that  while, 
nor  drinking  water  {Dent,  ix.  6) ;  where  he  receives  God*s  command 
touching  the  frame  of  the  tabernacle,  the  priests'  garments,  their  con- 
secration, sacrifices,  and  other  things  comprised  in  this  and  the  six 
following  chapters. 

At  the  end  of  forty  days  God  gives  Moses  the  two  tables  of  the  Law  in 
stone, made  by  God's  own  hand,  and  written  with  his  own  finger;  bidding 
himwithal  quickly  to  get  him  down, for  that  the  people  had  already  made 
to  themselves  a  molten  calf  to  worship.  Moses  by  prayer  pacificth  God. 
and  goes  down  from  the  mount,  and'seeing  the  people  keeping  a  festival 
in  honor  of  their  idol  in  the  camp,  he  breaks  the  tables  of  the  law  at  the 
foot  of  the  mount :  for  which  the  Jews  keep  a  solemn  fast  unto  this  day. 

Moses  having  burnt  and  defaced  the  idol,  puts  3000  of  the  idolaters  to 
death  by  the  hands  of  the  Levites. 

God  commands  Moses  to  frame  new  tables  of  stone,  and  to  bring  them 
with  him  into  the  mount:  Moses  brings  them  the  next  morning,  and 
while  he  stands  in  the  cleft  of  a  rock,  God  passeth  by,  and  showetn  him 
a  glimpse  of  his  glory. 

God  renews  his  covenantwith  his  people,  and  upon  certain  conditions 
gives  them  his  laws  again.  ■ 

In  the  first  six  months  of  this  year,  the  tabernacle,  the  ark  of  the 
covenant,  the  altar,  the  table  of  show-bread,  the  priests'  garments,  the 
holy  ointments,  the  candlestick,  and  other  utensils  and  vessels  belong- 
ing to  the  sacrifices,  are  finished  in  the  desert  at  mount  Sinai,  and 
are  brought  unto  Moses. 

The  tabernacle  is  set  up  and  anointed  with  holy  oil.  Aaron  and  his 
sons  are  consecrated  for  the  priesthood. 

Nadab  and  Abihu,  for  offering  strange  fire,  are  struck  dead  in  the 
place  by  fire  from  heaven. 

The  princes  of  the  tribes  present  their  offerings  toward  the  dedication 
of  the  tabernacle.  God  speaketh  to  Moses  from  the  mercy-seat. 

'The  second  passover  is  instituted. 

Jethro,  who  is  also  called  Holjab,  brings  his  daughter  Zipporah,  with 
her  two  sons,  Gershom  and  Eliezer,  which  were  left  with  nim,  to  his 
son-in-law  Moses ;  and  having  congratulated  his  and  the  whole  people 
of  Israel's  deliverance  out  of  bondage,  he  openly  declares  nis  faith  and 
devotion  towards  the  true  God.  By  his  advice  Moses  imparts  the  gov- 
ernment of  the  people  to  some  others,  and  ordains  magistrates  for  the 
deciding  of  lesser  causes. 

Moses  complains  to  God  of  the  overgreat  burden  of  his  government 
God,  to  ease  him  of  his  charge,  gives  him  for  assistanc-e  the  court  of 
seventy  elders. 

The  people  lust  for  flesh.  God  gives  them  quails  in  wrath ;  and  sends 
withal  a  most  grievous  plague  among  them. 

God  rebukes  the  seditlou  of  Miriam  and  Aaron,  and  maintains  Moses' 
right. 

From  the  wilderness  of  Paran,  near  Kadesh-bamea,  twelve  men  are 
sent  (among  whom  are  Caleb  and  Joshua)  to  discover  the  land  of  Canaan, 
Returning,  they  bring  with  them  a  branch  of  a  vine,  with  a  cluster  of 
grapes  upon  it;  ten  or  the  twelve  so  sent  speak  lit  of  the  countrv,  de- 
clare it  barren,  and  magnify  the  cities  for  their  strength,  and  thcgiantly 
stature  of  the  inhabitants. 

Tile  people,  terrified  with  this  relation,  are  about  to  return  into  Egypt, 
from  which  Caleb  and  Joshua,  endcavenng  todis.suadothem.are  like  to 
be  stoned.  At  this  God  is  so  provoked,  thathe  threatens  to  destroy  them  ; 
but  is  prevailed  upon  by  Moses  through  his  prayers  to  spare  them. 
Nevertheless  he  denounceth  that  all  who  are  now  twenty  years  old  and 
upward  (except  Caleb  and  Joshua)  shall  die  in  the  wilderness.  The  men 
Who  raised  the  evil  report  are  all  destroyed  by  sudden  death.  Some 
endeavoring  to  enter  upon  the  promised  land,  contrary  to  the  command 
of  Giod,  are  smitten  by  the  Amalekites  and  Canaanites. 

Inthisplace,t^.  Kadesh-barnea.the  Israelites  continue  many  days;  but 
that  in  some  places  they  continued  many  years  appcareth,  for  that  in 
the  space  of  37  years  there  are  but  17  encampings  mentioned. 

To  their  long  continuance  in  Kadesh,  and  the  encampintjs  from  thence, 
all  that  we  find  delivered  in  the  xvth  and  four  next  ensuing  chapters  ol 
Numbers,  seems  to  refer ;  as  how  Korah,  Dathan  an<i  Abiram,  for  raising 
a  mutiny  against  Moses  and  Aaron,  were  swallowed  alive  into  the  earth, 
and  250  of  their  associates;  and  how  the  people  mnrmuring  against  Moses'

brought  by  twelve  princes,  and  laid  in  the  sanctuary,  Aaron's  rod  only 
budded,  and  brought  fortti  almonds,  and  was  laid  up  before  the  ark, 
for  a  memorial  to  those  who  should  afterwards  be  given  to  rebellion. 

In  these  37  years  the  Israelites,  by  17  encampings,  having  compassed 
the  hill  country  of  Seir  and  Edom,  they  come  to  the  wilderness  of  Zin, 
in  the  first  month  of  the  fortieth  year  after  their  departure  out  of  Egypt. 

Here  Miriam,  the  sister  of  Moses  and  Aaron,  dieth. 

The  people  again  for  want  of  water  murmur  against  Moses  and  Aaron, 
whom,  when  God  had  commanded  to  call  water  out  of  the  rock  only 
by  speaking  to  it,  Moses,  being  moved  in  his  mind  through  impatience 
and  diffidence  of  the  thing,  speaks  something,  whatever  it  was.  unad- 
visedly with  his  lips,  and  strikes  the  rock  thrice  with  Aaron's  rod,  and 
thereby  draws  water  from  it;  but  for  transgressing  God's  command, 
they  are  both  debarred  from  entering  into  the  land  of  Canaan. 

In  the  fifth  month  of  this  year  Aaron  dieth  at  Mosera,  on  the  top  of 
mount  Hor,  at  the  age  of  123  years,  leaving  hisson  Eleazar  his  suecessoi 
in  the  high  pwesthood. 

The  people  murmuring  are  plagued  with  fiery  serpents,  whereof  many 
die;  upon  their  repentance  God  commands  that  a  brazen  serpent  be- 
made  and  lifted  up  upon  a  pole,  that  as  many  as  look  on  it  may  live. 

About  the  latter  end  of  this  year,  ail  those  who  at  Kadesh-bariiea 
mutinied  against  God  beingwhoUy  extinct  and  dead,  the  Israelites  pass 
over  Zared,  and  come  to  the  borders  of  Moab  at  Ar,  and  at  length  they 
arrive  at  Bamoth,  a  valley  in  the  country  of  the  Moabites,  and  pitch  at 
morjit  Hsgah. 

Sihon,  king  of  the  Anorites,  refusing  them  passage  through  his 
country,  is  slain,  and  the  Israelites  possess  his  land. 

Og,  the  King  of  Bashan,  coming  out  against  Israel ,  isdestroyed  with  all 
his  people,  not  one  left  alive,  ana  his  country  possessed  by  the  Israelites. 

Alter  these  victories  the  lEraelites  set  forward,  and  encamp  in  the 
plains  of  Moab. 

Balak,  king  of  Moab,  considering  what  the  Israelites  had  done  to  the 
Amorites,  fears,  lest  under  pretenceof  passing  through  his  country,  they 
should  possess  themsclvc3  of  his  whole  kingdom,  takes  counsel  with 
the  princes  of  the  Midiauites  his  neighbours,  and  sends  for  Balaam,  a 
soothsayer  out  of  Mesopotamia,  to  come  and  curse  the  Israelites,  prom- 
ising him  great  rewards  for  his  labour;  purposing  afterward  to  make 
war  upon  them. 

Balaam,  forewarned  of  God,  refu.seth  at  first  to  come ;  but  being  sent 
for  a  second  time,  ho  importunetli  God  to  let  him  go,  and  goes  witli  a 
purpose  indeed  to  curse  Israel ;  but  God,  offended  thereat,  makes  the 
dumb  ass  of  this  wizard,  on  which  he  rode,  speaking  in  a  man's  voice, 
to  reprove  his  folly. 

Balaam  twice  offers  sacrifice,  and  would  fain  have  cursed  Israel,  to 
gratify  Balak  therein  ;  but  being  forced  thereto  by  the  Spirit  of  God, 
instead  of  cursing,  he  blesseththemaltogether ;  foretelling  what  felicity 
attended  them,  and  what  calamities  should  befall  their  enemies. 

By  his  advice  the  women  of  Moab  and  Midian  are  set  on  work  to  tuni 
the  Israelites  away  to  idolatry.  Wherefore  God  commands  Moses  first  to 
take  all  the  ringleaders  of  this  disorder,  and  to  hang  them  up  before  the 
sun,  and  then  gives  order  to  the  judges  to  put  to  death  all  such  as  had 
Joined  themselves  to  Baal-peor.  Last  of  all,  God  sends  a  plague  upon 
the  people,  whereof  die  23.000  men  in  one  day  ;  which  added  to  them 
which  were  hanged  and  killed  with  the  sword,  amount  in  all  to  24.000. 

Phinehas,  the  son  of  Eleazar,  by  killing  Zimri,  the  chief  of  his  father's 
family,  and  Cozbi,  the  daughter  of  Zur,  a  prince  of  the  Midianites, 
appeaseth  the  wrath  of  God,  and  the  plague  ceaseth.  God  therefore 
settleth  the  high  priesthood  for  ever  upon  the  house  of  Phinehas,  and 
commands  that  war  be  made  upon  the  Midianites. 

Moses  and  Eleazar,  by  God's  command,  in  the  plain  of  Moab,  went 
unto  Jordan,  over  against  Jericho,  number  the  people  from  twenty  years 
old  and  upwards,  and  find  them  to  be  601,730  men,  besides  the  Ijevites, 
whose  number,  reckoning  them  from  one  month  old  and  upwards, 
comes  to  23,000 ;  and  then  Moses  receives  command  for  the  parting  of 
the  land  of  promise  among  the  Israelites. 

God  signilies  to  Moses  that  he  shall  die,  and  Joshua  is  thereupon  de 
dared  to  be  his  successor;  upon  whom  Moses  lays  his  hands,  and  gives 
him  instructions.    Several  laws  are  made. 

Twelve  thousand  of  the  Israelites  under  the  command  of  Phinehas 
vanquish  the  Midianites, and  put  to  the  sword  all  the  males  among  them, 
with  their  five  princes,  and  among  them  Zur,  the  father  of  Cozlji,  and 
Balaam  the  wizard ;  but  they  save  the  women  alive  ;  at  which  Moses  is 
wroth,  and  commands  that  every  male  child,  and  all  the  women,  ex- 
cept such  as  be  virgins,  be  killed. 

■The  lands  which  belonged  to  Sihon  and  Og,  namely,  all  from  the 
river  Arnon  to  mount  Hermon,  Moses  divides  and  gives  to  the  tribes  ol 
Reuben  and  Gad,  and  the  half  tribe  of  Maua.sseh  ;  so  that  their  pos 
sessions  lay  on  this  side  Jordan  ;  nevertheless,  they  assist  the  rest  of  the 
tribes  in  all  their  wars,  till  they  have  subdued  the  Canaanites,  and  pos. 
.sessed  the  promised  land. 

Mo-ses  commands  the  people,  that  in  their  passage  over  Jordan  they 
shall  set  up  great  stones,  and  engrave  the  Ten  Commandments  on  them, 
with  the  form  of  bles.sing  upon  mount  Gerizim,  and  of  cursing  on  mount 
Ebal,  exhorting  them  to  observe  the  law  of  God,  by  setting  before  theii 
eyes  the  benefits  that  would  ensue  thcronn. 

He  also  renews  the  covenant  made  by  God  with  them  and  their  child- 
ren on  mount  Horeb,  and  again  persuades  them  to  keep  that  covenant 
by  all  the  blessings  and  curse?  which  would  undoubtedly  follow  the 
keepers  or  breakers  of  it ;  yet  with  a  promise  of  pardon  and  deliverance, 
if  atanytlme,  havingbrokenit,  theyshnllrepcnt  them  of  their  sin  ;  and 
tells  them  farther,  that  God  had  the' >fnrc  thus  declared  his  will  unto 
them,  to  the  end  that  none  hereafter  offending  shall  pretend  ignorance. 

Moses,  having  written  this  law,  delivers  it  to  the  priests,  the  sons  ol 
Levi,  and  the  elders  of  the  people,  to  be  kept ;  the  same  day  also  he 
writes  his  most  excellent  song,  and  teaches  the  same  lo  the  children  of 
Israel  to  be  sung;  and  having  finished  the  book  of  the  law,  he  takes 
order  to  have  it  laid  up  in  the  side  of  the  ark. 

Moses  now  drawing  neartohisend,blesseth  every  tribe  in  particular 
by  way  of  prophecy,  save  only  the  tritje  of  Simeon. 

In  the  12th  month  of  this  year  he  goes  up  to  mount  Nebo,  and  from 
thence  beholds  the  land  of  promise,  and  there  dieth,  aged  r.'O  years  ; 
the  body  of  Moses  God  translates  out  of  the  place  where  he  died  into  a 
valley  of  the  laid  of  Moab,  over  against  Beth-pcor,  and  there  biirieth 
it ;  nor  doth  any  man  know  the  place  of  it  unto  this  day.  The  Israel- 
ites mourn  for  him  So  days. 

Here  ends  the  Pentateuch,  or  five  lx)0ks  of  SIoscs,  containing  the  his- 
tory of  '2-V>2  years  and  a  half,  from  the  lieginningof  the  world  ;  and  the 
hook  of  Joshua  begins  with  the  forty-first  year  after  the  departureof  the 
children  of  Israel  out  of  Egypt. 

Joshua  being  coiifirmed  in  nls  government  by  God,  sends  forth  spies 
from  Shittim  to  the  city  of  Jericho,  who,  being  harboured  by  Rahab, 
are  privily  sent  away,  when  search  is  made  for  them. 

Upon  the  tenth  day  of  the  first  month  (Aprils),  to  wit,  the  same  daj 
that  the  Paschal  Lamb  was  to  be  chosen  out  of  the  flock,  the  Israelites 
under  the  conduct  of  Joshua,  a  type  of  Jesus  Christ,  go  up  out  of  the 
river  Jordan  into  the  promised  land  of  Canaan,  a  type  of  a  more  heay, 
enly  country.  "They  pa.ss  through  the  river  on  dry  ground,  the  water* 
being  for  the  present  divided  ;  for  a  memorial  of  which  miraculous  pes 
sage,  Joshua  sets  up  twelve  stones  in  the  very  channel  of  Jordan,  and 
taking  twelve  other  stones  O'lt  of  the  midst  thereof  sets  them  up  at  QU 
gal,  the  place  where  thev  next  encamp. 

Upon  the  14th  day  of  the  .same  month,  in  the  evening,  the  luaelltM 
celebrate  theix  first  passover  in  the  land  of  Canaan.

Judges  X.  1, 
2,3, 


'    Jericho,  the  ark  of  the  Lord  having  been  carried  round  about  it.  Is 

taken  the  seventh  day,  the  walls  thereof  falling  down  at  t'le  sound  of  the 
priests'  trum  |>ets ;  all  the  inhabitants  are  put  to  the  sword,  except  Rahab 
and  her  fiimily. 

The  Israelites  l>esiege  A!,  and  are  smitten  by  their  enemies,  God 
havingabandoned  Lhein  for  ^.acrilej,'e.  committed  bvAchan  :Aehan's8in 
being  discovered  Ijy  the  casting  of  lots,  and  himself  found  guilty,  he  is 
stoned  to  death,  and,  together  with  his  children  and  cattle,  burned 
with  fire.  God  being  pacified  hereby,  Al  is  taken  by  ambushment  and 
utterly  destroyed. 

On  mount  Ebal,  according  tothe  law  made,  is  an  altar  erected  arid  the 
Ten  Commandments  engraven  on  it;  the  blessings  and  cursings  are  re- 
[Kjated  on  mount  Ebal  and  mount  Gerizim,  and  the  book  of  the  law  read 
in  the  ears  of  the  people. 

The  kings  of  Canaan  combine  against  Israel:  only  the  Gibeonites 
craftily  find  a  way  to  save  thelrownfivesby  making  a  league  with  them 
but  are  afterwards  deputed  to  the  servile  offices  of  the  house  of  God. 

Adoni-ze<leii.  king  of  Jerusalem,  with  the  kings  of  Hebron,  Jarmuth, 
Lachish,  and  Eglon,  hearing  that  Gibeon  is  fallen  off  from  them,  join 
their  forces  together  and  besiege  it;  but  Joshua  raiseth  the  siege,  pur- 
sueth  thase  five  kin^,  and  smiteth  them  as  far  as  Azekah,  the  Lord  in 
the  meanwhile  killing  more  with  hailstones  from  heaven,  than  the 
Israelites  with  their  swords.  Joshua  commands  the  sun  to  stand  still 
over  Giljcon,  and  the  moon  over  the  valley  of  Ajalon,  by  the  space 
almost  of  one  whole  day,  until  the  Israelites  are  fully  avenged  of  their 
enemies.  The  five  kings  hide  themselves  in  a  cave  at  Makkedah ;  from 
whence  they  are  brought  forth,  scornfully  used,  and  hanged. 

From  the  autumn  of  this  year,  wherein,  after  the  fal  ling  of  manna. they 
began  to  till  the  ground,  the  rise  of  the  sabbatical  vears  is  to  be  taken. 

Joshua,  now  grown  old,  is  commanded  byGodtodivideall  the  laud  on 
the  westof  Jordan  amongthenine  tribes  remaining,  and  theother  half- 
tribe  of  Manasseh.  The  Lord  and  hissacrifiees  are  the  inheritance  of  Levi. 

The  rest  of  the  kin^,  with  whom  Joshua  had  waged  war  for  six  years, 
resolve  toset  upon  him  with  united  forces  :  but  Joshua  comes  upon  them 
unawares,  slays  them,  and  possesseth  their  countries. 

Joshua  now  roots  out  those  giants,  the  Anakims,  with  their  cities,  out 
of  the  hill-countries,  out  of  Hebron,  Debir,  and  Anab,  and  generally  out 
of  all  the  mountains  of  Judah  and  all  Israel.  And  having  gotten  the 
whole  land  into  his  hands,  he  divides  it  among  the  children  of  Israel 
according  to  their  tribes;  and  the  land  rested  from  war. 

The  first  sabbatical  year,  or  year  of  rest;  from  hence  the  year  of 
Jubilee,  or  every  fifty  years'  space  is  to  be  reckoned. 

The  tJiljernacle  is  set  up  at  Sniloh  (thought  to  be  the  same  with  Salem) 
where  it  continued  328  vears. 

The  Reubenites,  Gadites,  and  the  half-tribe  of  Manasseh,  with  a 
blessing,  are  sent  home  to  their  possessions  on  the  other  side  of  Jordan. 

Joshuagathers  together  all  Israel,  exhorts  them  to  obedience,  briefly 
recites  God's  benefits  to  them,  reneweth  the  covenant  between  them  and 
God,  and  dieth,  110  years  old. 

After  the  d  ecease  of  Joshua,  and  the  elders  who  outl  i  ved  him,  and  who 
remembered  the  wonders  which  God  had  wrought  for  Israel,  there  suc- 
ceeds a  generation  of  men  which  forget  God,  and  mingle  themselves  witli 
the  Canaauites  bv  marriage,  and  worship  their  idols.  In  this  time  of 
anarchy  and  couhision,  when  every  man  did  that  which  seemed  right  in 
his  own  eyes,  all  those  disorders  were  committed,  which  are  reported  in 
the  last  five  chapters  of  the  Book  of  Judges ;  to  wit,  the  idolatry  of  Micah 
and  the  children  of  Dan ;  the  war  of  the  Benjamites,  and  the  cause 
thereof.  God,  gives  them  up  into  the  hands  of  Cushan,  king  of  Meso- 
potamia: which  first  calamity  of  theirs  hoMs  them  but  eight  years, 

Othniel,  the  son  of  Kenaz,  and  son-in-law  to  Caleb,  stirred  up  by  God 
as  a  judge  and  avenger  of  his  people,  defeats  Cu.^han,  and  delivers  the 
Israelites  out  of  bondage  ;  and  the  land  rested  forty  years  after  the  first 
rest  which  Joshua  procured  for  them. 

Othniel  dying,  the  Israelites  fell  again  to  sin  against  God,  and  are 
given  over  into  the  hands  of  Eglon,  King  of  Moab,  who,  joining  with 
the  Ammonites  and  the  Amalekites,  overthrows  the  Israelites,  and 
takes  Jericho;  and  this  second  oppression  continueth  eighteen  years. 

Ehud,  the  son  of  Gera,  is  raised  up  by  God  to  be  an  avenger  of  his 
people :  for  feigning  a  message  to  Eglon.  he  runs  him  into  the  belly  with 
;ns  dagger ;  then  getting  a  way,  he  gathers  all  Israel  into  a  body  on  mount 
Ephraim.  and  slays  lO.tXXJ  of  the  most  valiant  men  of  Moab ;  and  the  land 
resteth  forty  years  after  the  former  rest  obtamed  by  Othniel. 

After  him,  Shamgar,  the  son  of  Anath,  slayeth  600  Philistines  with  an 
ox-goad,  and  he  also  avengeth  Israel. 

The  Israelites,  after  the  death  of  Ehud,  returning  to  their  old  sin,  are 
given  up  by  God  into  the  hands  of  Jabin,  king  of  Canaan ;  and  this  thral- 
dom of  theirs  continueth  twenty  years. 

Deborah,  the  wife  of  Lapidoth,  a  prophetess,  whoat  this  time  judgeth 
Israel  in  mount  Ephraim,  and  Barak  of  the  tribe  of  Naphtali,  being  made 
captain  of  the  host  of  Israel,  in  sight  of  Megiddo,  overcomes  Sisera,  cap- 
tam  of  Jabins*  army,  whom  Jael,  the  wife  of  Heber  the  Kenite.  after- 
ward kills  in  her  own  tent  For  a  memorial  of  which  victory  Delx>rah 
'omposeth  a  song ;  and  the  land  resteth  forty  years  after  the  former  rest 
obtained  by  Ehud. 

The  Israelites  sinningagain,  are  delivered  into  the  hands  of  the  Midian- 
ites ;  which  fourth  thraldom  lasteth  seven  years.  Hereupon  they  cry  unto 
(Jod  for  help,  and  are  reproved  by  a  prophet.  Then  Gideon,  the  son  of 
Joash,  of  Manasseh,  is  by  an  angel  from  God  sent  to  deliver  them.  He 
first  overturns  the  altar  of  Baal  and  burns  his  grove,  and  is  called  Jerub- 
baal.  He.  out  of  32,000men,  which  came  upon  him,  chooseth  only  (God 
so  commanding)  30O;  but  with  them  he  puts  to  flight  all  the  host  of  the 
Nlidianites,  whom  the  Ephraimites  afterward  pursue,  and  slay  their 
princes  Oreb  and  Zeeb.  Gideon  having  pacified  the  Ephraimites,  who 
complain  that  they  were  notcalledtotheoattleat  first,  passeth  the  river 
Jordan,  and  defeats  the  remainder  of  the  M  idiani  tish  army;  he  chastiseth 
also  the  men  of  Succoth  and  Fcnucd,  who  had  refused  him  victuals  in  his. 
journey ;  and  slays  the  two  kings  of  the  Midianites,  Zebah  and  Zalmunna 
After  which  great  victories  the  Israelites  offering  to  settle  the  kingdom 
upon  him  and  his  posterity,  he  refuseth  i  t;  but  receiving  their  golden  ear- 
rings.he  makes  thereof  an  ephod,  which  afterwards  proves  an  occasionof 
idolatry.  The  Midianites  being  thus  vanquished,  the  lainl  enjoys  rest 
forty  years,  after  the  former  rest  restored  to  them  by  Deborah  and  Barak. 

Gideon  dieth,  and  the  Israelites,  falling  back  again  to  idolatry,  worship 
Baal-berith  for  their  God. 

Abimelech,  the  son  of  Gideon  (begotten  upon  his  concubine), purposing 
to  get  to  himself  the  kingdom  which  his  father  had  refused,  slayeth 
seventy  of  his  brothers  all  upon  one  stone ;  and  having,  by  the  help  of  the 
Shechemites,  got  to  be  made  king,  Jotham,  the  youngest  son  of  Gideon, 
who  only  escaped  Abimelech's  fury,  from  the  top  of  mount  Gerizim 
exjxwtulates  with  them  the  wrong  they  had  done  to  his  father's  house; 
anct,  by  way  of  a  parable,  fortella  their  ruin  ;  which  done,  he  flies,  and 
dwells  quietly  in  Beer. 

Abimelech.'havin^  reigned  three  year8overIsrael,GaaI,  a  Shechemite, 
conspires  against  him;  which  being  discovered  to  him  by  Zebul,  he 
utterly  destroys  thecity  of  Shechem,  andputsall  the  inhabitants  to  the 
sword',  and  burns  the  temple  o^thelr  God  Berith  with  fire ;  from  thence 
he  goeth  and  layeth  siege  to  Thebez,  where  he  is  knocked  on  the  head 
with  a  piece  of  a  millstone,  cast  upon  him  by  a  woman  from  the  walls, 
and  then  killed  outright  by  his  armor-bearer. 

"Tola  the  son  of  Puan,  after  Abimelech,  judgeth  Israel  23  years. 

Jair  the  Gileadite  succeeds  Tola,  and  judgeth  Israel  22  years. 

The  Israelites,  forsakingagain  the  true  God,  fall  to  worship  the  gods  of 
several  uatious,and  are  given  up  in  to  the  hands  of  the  Philistines  and  Ani'

Imonites ;  which  fifth  thraldom  lasteth  eighteen  years.  Upon  their  re- 
pentance, and  abandoning  their  idols,  at  length  thty  obtain  mercy. 

Jephthah  the  Gileadite,  being  made  captain  of  the  hostof  Israel, s'ub- 
dues  the  Ammonites:  before  the  battle  he  vows  his  daughter  unawares 
to  be  offered  in  sacrifice,  and  afterward  performs  it.  He  puts  to  the 
sword  42j0J0  Ephraimites,  who  had  txjhaved  themselves  insolently 
against  him,  and  judgeth  Israel  six  years. 

Ibzan  the  Bethlehemite  succeeds  Jephthah,  and  judgeth  Israel  7  years. 

Elon  the  Zebulonite  succeeds  Ibzan,  and  judgeth  Israel  ten  vears, 

Abdon  the  Ephraimite  succeeds  Elon,  and  judgeth  Israel  eight  years. 

Eli  the  high -priest  (in  whom  the  high  priesthood  was  translated  from 
the  family  of  Eleazar  tolthamar's)  succeeds  AbdoUiand  judgeth  Israel 
forty  years.  The  Israelites  again  provoke  the  Lord  to  anger,  and  he 
delivers  them  into  the  hands  of  the  Philistines.  This  sixth  thraldom 
begins  seven  months  after  Eli's  entering  upon  the  government,  and 
lasteth  forty  years,  even  till  seven  months  after  his  death,  when  the 
ark  was  brought  back  again. 

Samson  the  Nazarite,  as  an  angel  had  foretold,  is  bom  at  Zorah. 

Whilst  Eli  the  high  priest  executeth  the  ottice  of  a  judge  in  civil  causes 
under  the  Philistines,  Samson  takes  an  occasion  toquarrel  with  them,  by 
marrying  a  woman  ofTininath;  forhavingon  the  day  of  his  betrothing 
propounded  a  riddle  to  the  Philistines,  and  laid  a  wager,  his  wife  tells 
them  the  meaning  of  it ;  enraged  hereat.  he  goes  and  slays  thirty  men 
of  Askelon,  and  gives  them  the  suits  of  raiment  which  he  had  stripped 
off  their  bodies,  in  performance  of  the  wager  which  he  had  lost. 

Samson  again  in  harvest-time  goes  to  present  his  wife  with  a  kid  at 
her  father's  house,  but  finds  her  given  away  in  marriage  to  another  mnn; 
Samson  resolves  to  be  avenged;  he  catches  800  foxes,  and  tying  fire- 
brands to  their  tails,  turns  them  all  into  the  corn-fields  of  the  Philis- 
tines, and  into  their  vineyards,  and  olive-gardens,  and  sets  them  all  on 
fire.  ThePhilLstines  take  Samson's  wife  and  father-in-law,  and  burn 
them  ;  Samson  in  revenge  slays  a  great  multitude  of  them,  and  sits 
down  upon  tie  rock  Etam,  from  whence  being  taken  by  3000  of  the 
J'  r^,  s^ix^  by  them  delivered  into  the  hands  of  the  Philistines,  heslays 
of  them  a  thousand  men  with  the  jaw-bone  of  an  ass ;  in  which  place 
he  is  miraculously  refreshed,  when  thirsty  and  ready  to  faint. 

Samson  is  l»etrayedby  Delilah  his  concubine,  bereaved  of  the  hair  of 
his  Nazariteship,  and  delivered  to  the  Philistines  j  who  put  out  his 
eyes,  and  bind  him  with  chains  of  brass.  The  Philistines  gather  to 
gether  to  offer  sacrifice  to  Dagon  their  god,  aini  Samson  is  brought  to 
make  them  sport ;  whose  hair  being  grown,  and  his  strength  In  a  great 
measure  restored,  he  takes  hold  of  the  two  chief  pillars  whereon  the 
house  stood  (wherein  were  the  princes  of  the  Philistines,  and  a  great 
multitude  of  people)  and  pulls  down  the  house,  killing  more  men  at 
his  death  than  he  did  in  all  his  lifetime.  So  he  died,  having  judged 
Israel  in  the  days  of  the  PhilLstines  twenty  years. 

The  Israelites"  take  up  arms  against  the  Philistines,  but  with  very  ill 
success,  for  they  lose  4000  men  in  one  battle.  Then  they  send  for  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  from  Shlloh,  and  cause  it  to  be  brought  into  the 
camp.  The  Philistines,  seeing  now  all  lie  at  stake,  encourage  one  an- 
other to  behave  themselves  like  men  thatday  ;  and  so  falling  on,  they 
slay  of  the  Israelites  30,000  men.  Theark  of  God  is  taken,  and  Hophni 
and  Phinehiis,  priests,  and  sons  of  Eli,  are  slain.  Of  all  which  when 
tidings  are  brought  to  old  Eli,  frighted  thereat,  he  falls  from  his  chair 
and  breaks  his  neck,  in  the  98th  year  of  his  age. 

The  Philistines,  having  brought  the  ark  into  Ashdod.  set  it  in  the  house 
of  Dagon  theirgod.  But  when  Dagon  had  been  found  two  several  times 
fallen  grovelling  before  it,  and  broken  in  pieces,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
the  place  sorely  plagued,  they  remove  it  from  thence  to  Gath,  and  from 
theuce  to  Ekron.  But  the  same  plagues  and  judgnpents  following  wher- 
ever it  went,  after  seven  mouths, hy  the  advice  of  their  priests,  they 
send  home  the  ark  again  with  presents  and  gifts  into  the  land  of  the  Is- 
raelites, and  it  is  brought  to  Bcthshemesh,  where  50,070  men  are  smitten 
for  looking  into  the  ark.  From  hence  it  is  carried  to  the  house  of 
Abinadah,  in  Kirjathjearim,  who  sanctifieth  his  son  Eleazar  to  keep  it. 

After  twenty  years  the  Israelites,  by  Samuel's  persuasion,  solemnly 
repent  at  Mizpen,  and,  upon  their  conversion,  God  by  thunder  from 
heaven  delivers  them  from  the  invasion  of  the  Philistines,  who  are  sub- 
dued, the  hand  of  the  Lord  being  against  them  all  thedays  of  Samuel. 

Samuel,  being  grown  old,  takes  for  his  assistance  in  the  government 
his  sons ;  by  whose  ill  management  of  affairs,  the  Israelites  require  a 
king  to  be  given  them;  whereupon  God  gives  them  a  king  in  his  wrath 
to  wit,  Saul,  the  son  of  Kish,  alter  Samuel  had  judged  Israel  twenty- 
one  years.  Saul  is  privately  anointed  by  Samuel,  and  afterward  pub- 
licly proclaimed  king  at  Mizpeh.  About  a  month  after  Jabesh-gilead 
is  besieged  by  Nahash  king  of  the  Ammonites,  and  the  siege  raised  by 
Saul:  whereupon  the  whole  congregation  of  Israel,  coming  tc^ether  at 
Gilgal,  again  proclaim  Saul  king. 

David,  son  of  Jesse  the  Ephrathite,  born  at  Beth-!  eh  em- judah  80  years 
before  succeeding  Saul  in  the  kingdom.  He  was  his  father's  youngest  son. 

God  rejects  Saul,  and  sends  Samuel  to  Beth-lehem.  there  to  anoint 
David  king,  whom  Saul  ever  after  extremely  persecuteth. 

Yet  Jonathan.  Saul's  son,  loveth  him,  and  oftentimes  rescueth  him 
from  Saul's  cruelty. 

David,  having  Saul  twice  In  his  power,  forbears  to  hurt  him. 

David,  fearing  he  may  some  time  or  other  fall  into  the  hands  of  Saul, 
flies  to  Gath  unto  king  Achish,  carrying  with  him  600  men ;  and  hav- 
ing obtained  of  him  the  town  of  Ziklag  to  dwell  in.  he  continueth  one 
year  and  four  mont*is  in  the  land  of  the  Philistines:  from  whence  he 
invadeth  the  countries  of  the  Geshurites,  Gezrites,  and  Amalekites, 
and  puts  to  the  sword  all,  both  men  and  women,  not  leaving  one  alive 
to  carry  the  news  thereof  to  king  Achish. 

Achish,  proposing  to  make  war  upon  the  Israelites,  takes  David  along 
with  him.  in  that  expedition,  to  whom,  whilst  he  is  upon  his  march 
with  his  600  men,  repair  a  great  many  others  of  the  tribe  of  Manasseh, 
and  join  with  him. 

Saul,  seeing  the  army  of  the  Philistines,  is  in  great  fear,  and  (Samuel 
being  now  dead)  goes  to  En-dor  to  consult  with  a  witch  there;  the 
woman  raiseth  an  apparition  of  Samuel,  and  Saul  receives  from  it  that 
dreadful  doom,  The  Lord  will  deliver  Israel,  together  with  thyself,  into 
the  handsof  the  Philistines. 

The  princes  of  the  Philistines  growing  jealous  of  David,  he  and  his 
company  early  the  next  morning  leave  the  army,  and  return  to  Ziklag. 

Thearmiesjoin  battle;  and  the  Israelites  are  defeated  ;  the  three  sons 
of  Saul  are  slain,  and  he  himself  falls  on  his  own  sword. 

Three  days  after,  an  Amalekite  brings  Saul's  crown,  and  the  bracelet 
that  was  upon  his  arm,  and  presents  them  to  David,  professing  that,  find- 
ing him  fallen  upon  hissword,  he  had  killed  him  outright,  and  taken  the 
crown  from  off  his  head:whereaiv)n  David  causeth  him  to  be  put  to  death 
for  stretching  forth  his  hand  to  slay  the  Ix>rd's anointed,  and  lamenteth 
the  death  of  Saul  and  Jonathan  hisson  in  a  funeral  song.  David. having 
asked  counsel  of  God,  goes  up  to  Hebron  with  those  that  are  about  him, 
where  he  is  anointed  king  by  the  men  of  Judah,  his  own  tribe,  in  the 
30th  year  of  his  age;  and  there  he  reigns  seven  years  and  six  months. 

Abner,  affronted  by  Ishbosheth,  revolteth  to  David,  and  deals  with 
the  chief  men  of  Israel  to  transfer  the  whole  kingdom  unto  him,  and 
this  in  the  hearing  of  the  Benjamites. 

He  comes  to  David,  and  is  kindly  received  ;  returning,  he  Is  treacher- 
ously murdered  by  Joab.  David  much  laments  his  imtimely  death, 
and  buries  him  at  "Hebron. 

Baanah  and  Rechab  murder  their  lord  and  master  Ishbosheth,  as  he 
ii.e'h  resting  npon  hashed.  They  bring  his  head  to  David,  who  in  detes-

Dartd  now  dwelling  in  his  house  o(  cedar,  which  he  had  built,  and! 
living  In  a  full  and  perfect  peace,  imparteth  to  Nathan  the  prophet  his 
purpose  of  buildinga  house  forOod;  but  isanswered  from  God,  that  this] 
was  a  work  which  should  be  done,  not  by  him,  because  he  Was  a  man! 
of  blood,  and  trained  up  in  war ;  but  by  liis  son  Solomon,  a  man  of 
peace,  which  should  be  born  unto  him.  The  time  which  passeth  from] 
hence  till  the  birth  of  Solomon  is  spent  in  wars ;  wherein  David  sub-' 
dues  the  Philistines,  Bdomites,  Amaleliitea,  Moabites,  Ammonites,  and 
Syrians,  and  extends  his  Isinudom  to  ilie  utmost  bound  of  that  land 
which  had  been  promised  to  the  seed  of  Abraham,  and  never  possessed 
by  any  of  them,  save  only  by  David  and  hia  Son  Solomon.  I 

At  the  end  of  this  year  Joab,  going  with  the  army  against  the  Am-i 
nionites,  besiegeth  Rabbah,  the  metropolis  of  Ammon,  whilst  David 
talres  his  ease  at  Jerusalem,  and  there  commits  adultery  with  Bath-i 
shebathe  wife  of  Uriah  the  Hittlte,  who  was  then  in  the  army,  whom 
he  also  procures  to  be  slain. 

The  child  so  gottenin  adultery  is  born.  David  is  convicted  by  Nathan 
the  prophet  of  his  sin,  and  he  repents ;  in  testimony  whereof  he  com- 
poseth  the  Slst  Psalm.    The  child  dieth. 

Bathsheba  becomes  now  David's  wife,  and  beareth  him  a  son,  unto 
whom,  as  unto  one  who  should  prove  a  man  of  peace,  God  gives  the 
name  of  Solomon ;  and,  as  to  one  beloved  of  the  Lord,  the  name  of 
Jedidiah. 

Absalom  avengeth  his  sister  Tamar,  and  killeth  his  brother  Amnon . 
for  which  thing  he  fleeth  to  Geshur  in  Syria,  where  he  continues  three 
years  with  liing  Talmai,  his  grandfather  by  the  mother's  side. 

After  three  years'  exile  he  returns  to  Jerusalem,  where  he  continues 
two  years,  before  the  king  his  father  admits  him  into  his  presence,  and 
is  reconciled  to  him. 

This  rebel  son  having  got  chariots  and  horses,  and  a  guard  to  attend 
him,  insinuates  himself  into  the  favour  of  the  people,  and  steals  awav 
their  hearts  from  his  father  David. 

The  next  year  following,  under  pretence  of  a  vow,  he  obtalneth  leave 
to  go  to  Hebron,  where,  by  Ahithophel's  counsel,  he  breaks  out  into 
open  rebellion,  and  forceth  his  father  to  fly  from  Jerusalem. 

Ahithophel,  because  his  counsel  in  all  matters  is  not  followed  by 
Absalom,  hangs  himself. 

Absalom  having  lost  20,000  men,  fleeth,  and  a  bough  of  an  oak  catch- 
ing hold  of  him,  he  there  hangs,  and  is  run  through  by  Joab. 

David,  tempted  by  Satan,  commandeth  Joab  to  number  the  people  : 
God,  oflendea  thereat,  sends  a  prophet  to  put  three  plagues  to  his  choice, 
viz.^  the  famine,  sword,  or  pestilence.  David  chooseth  to  fall  into  the 
hands  of  a  merciful  God,  rather  than  into  the  hands  of  men.  So  God 
sends  a  pestilence :  whereof  70,000  men  die  in  one  day.  The  angel  being 
about  to  destroy  Jerusalem,  God  bids  him  hold  his  hand  :  for  he  beholds 
David  repenting  in  sackcloth,  and  entreating  him  to  spare  the  innocent 
people,  and  to  turn  his  hand  upon  himself,  and  upon  his  father's  house. 

Rehoboam  is  bom  unto  Solomon  by  Naamah,  an  Ammonitish  woman. 

David  being  now  70  years  of  age,  and  broken  with  continual  cares  and 
wars,  grows  so  weak  and  feeble,  that  clothes  can  no  longer  preserve 
heat  in  him.  Therefore  Abisha^,  a  young  virgin,  is  appointed  to  keepi 
him  warm.  Adonijah,  seeing  his  father  thus  declining,  by  the  assist- 
ance of  Joab  and  Abiathar,  makes  himself  king;  which  David  under- 
standing, he  presently  commands  Zadok  the  priest,  and  Nathan  the 
prophet,  with  other  great  men,  to  anoint  Solomon  king.  Adonijah 
hearing  this,  betakes  himself  to  the  sanctuary,  and  is  pardoned. 

David,  having  given  instruction  to  his  son  Solomon,  dieth  ;  after  he 
had  reigned  In  Hebron  seven  years  and  six  months,  and  83  years  In 
Jerusalem  over  all  Israel. 

Pharaoh,  king  of  Egypt,  gives  his  daughter  in  marria§:e  to  Solomon. 

The  Lord  appears  to  Solomon  in  a  dream,  and  bids  him  ask  what  he 
will,  and  it^shall  be  given  him.  Solomon  asketh  wisdom  ;  God  gives 
him  wisdom  from  above,  and  adds  thereunto  riches  and  honour.  Of 
this  divine  wisdom  Solomon  makes  an  eminent  manifestatiuu  in  judg- 
ing between  two  harlots.

Solomon  this  year  (being  the  9th  Jubilee,  and  opening  the  fourth  Mil 
lenary  of  the  world)  with  great  magnificence  celebrates  the  dedication 
of  the  temple :  at  which  time  God  giveth  a  visible  sign  of  his  favor. 

Solomon  having,  as  it  is  with  reason  believed,  forsaken  his  lusts  and 
vanities,  to  which  he  had  been  too  intemperately  addicted,  and  writ- 
ten, as  a  testimony  of  his  repentance,  his  book  called  the  Preacher, 
dieth.    He  reigned  40  years. 

"The  Israelites  assemble  at  Shechem  to  crown  Rehoboam,  Solomon's 
son,  king  over  all  Israel.  The  people  by  Jeroboam  sue  unto  him  for  a 
removal  of  some  grievances;  to  whom  Rehoboam,  by  the  advice  of 
young  men,  returning  a  harsh  answer,  alienates  the  hearts  of  ten  tribes 
from liim,  who  make  Jeroboam  king  over  them,  and  fall  at  the  same 
time  from  the  house  of  David,  an4  from  the  true  worship  of  God. 

JeroboA'm,  in  the  beginning  of  his  reign,  repairs  Shechem,  destroyed 
by  Abimelech  258  years  before,  and  there  dwells ;  afterward  going  over 
Jordan  he  builds  Penuel,  and  at  length  makes  Tirzah  the  seat  of  his 
kingdom.  But  fearing  lest  his  new  subjects  by  going  to  Jerusalem  to 
worship,  may  be  induced  to  revolt  from  him,  he  deviseth  a  new  form 
of  religion,8ettingup  two  golden  calves,  the  one  at  Beth-el,  the  other 
at  Dan,  for  the  seduced  people  to  bow  down  unto. 

From  the  time  of  this  dismal  rent  Rehoboam  reigneth  over  Judah 
and  Benjamin  17  years,  and  Jeroboam  over  Israel,  or  the  other  ten 
tribes,  22  years. 

The  Priests  and  Levites,  and  other  Israelites  who  feared  God,  stick 
to  Rehoboam,  and  maintain  the  kingdom  of  Judah  three  years;  after 
which  time  Rehoboam  falls  to  Idolatry,  and  walketh  no  more  in  the 
ivays  of  David  and  Solomon. 

Jeroboam  sacrificing  to  hLs  calf  at  Beth-el,  a  prophet  is  sent  unto  him 
'rom  God.  whoforetells  the  judgment  which  should  one  day  beexecu^ 
ed  upon  that  altar,  and  the  Priests  {viz,  those  whom  Jeroboam  had 
made  of  the  lowest  of  the  people)  that  served  at  it.  Which  jjrophecy 
then  and  there  is  conflnned  by  signs  and  wonders  upon  the  king  him- 
self, and  upon  the  altar. 

Shlshak  king  of  Egypt  spoileth  Jcmsalem  and  the  temple ;  but  the 
king  and  the  princes  repenting  at  the  preaching  of  Shemaiah  the 
prophet,  God  gives  thera  not  over  to  utter  destruction. 

Abijam  the  son  of  Rehoboam  succeeds  his  father  In  the  kingdom  of 
Judah,  and  reigns  three  years. 

He  obtains  a  great  victory  over  Jeroboam,  killeth  500,000  men  in  one 
battle,  and  taketh  Beth-el. 

Asa  in  the  twentieth  year  of  Jeroboam  sticceeds  his  father  Abijam, 
and  reigns  41  years. 

Nadao  in  the  second  year  of  Asa  succeedeth  his  father  Jeroboam  in 
the  kingdom  of  Israel,  and  reigneth  not  full  two  years. 

Nadab  at  the  siege  of  Gibbethon  (a  town  of  the  Philistinee),  is  slain  by 
Baasbaof  the  tribe  of  Issachar  in  the  third  year  of  Asa  ;  and  the  same

[whole  race  of  Jeroboam,  apd  reigneth  24  jears.    In  this  time  lived  the 
prophets  Jehu,  Hanani,  and  Azarias. 

Asa,  destroyeth  idolatry,  and  enjoying  ten  years  of  peace,  strengthens 
his  kingdom  with  forts  and  a  standing  army. 

Zerah  the  Ethiopian  with  an  innumerable  army  invadeth  Judah  :  Asa 
overcomes  him,  sacriflceth  to  God  of  the  spoil,  and  maketh  a  solemn 
covenant  with  God.  He  also  disposeth  Maachah  his  grandmother,  a 
great  patroness  of  idtflatry ;  bringeth  into  the  teraple  those  things  which 
his  father  and  himself  had  consecrated  unto  God.and  enjoys  a  long  peace. 

Elah  the  son  of  Baasha  succeeds  his  father  in  the  kingdom  of  Israel. 

In  the  second  year  of  his  reign,  and  the  twenty-seventh  of  Asa's,  Zimri 
one  of  his  captains,  conspires  against  him,  kills  him, and  reigneth  in  his 
stead.  As  soon  as  he  sits  in  the  throne,  hedostroyetn  the  whole  family 
of  Baasha ;  but  the  army  which  then  lay  before  Gibbethon  makes  Omri 
then  king,  who  presently  besiegeth  Tirzah,  and  taketh  it ;  which  Zimri 
seeing  he  sets  on  fire  the  king's  palace,  and  perisheth  in  the  flames. 

The  people  of  Israel  are  now  divided  into  two  factions;  one  follow  Tibni 
the  son  of^Ginath,  and  endeavor  to  make  him  king :  the  other  adheres  to 
Omri ;  but  Tibni  dying,  Omri  reigns  alone  in  the  31st  year  of  Asa. 

Omri  having  reigned  six  years  in  Tirzah,  removes  the  seat  of  his  king- 
dom to  Samaria,  a  place  which  he  himself  had  built. 

Ahab  succeeds  his  father  in  the  kingdom  of  Israel,  and  reigneth  22 
years  in  Samaria.  He  did  evil  In  the  sight  of  the  Lord  above  all  thai 
were  before  him. 

Jehoshapha  t  succeedeth  his  father  Asa  in  the  fourth  year  of  Ahab  king 
of  Israel,  and  reigneth  25  years  in  Jerusalem. 

Jehoshaphat  being  settled  in  his  kingdom,  and  having  demolished  the 
high  places  and  groves,  in  the  third  year  of  his  reign  he  sends  Levites 
with  the  princes  to  instruct  tli  e  people  in  the  law.  God  in  the  meantime 
subdueth  his  enemies  under  him. 

Ben-hadad  king  of  Syria  layetli  siege  to  Samaria,  who  by  the  direction 
of  a  prophet  is  beaten  off,  and  a  vast  number  of  the  Syrians  slain. 

Ahab  not  being  able  to  persuade  Naboth  to  sell  him  his  vineyard,  falls 
sick  upon  it ;  Jezebel  his  wife,  suborning  falsewitnesses  to  accuse  him  o( 
blasphemy,  causeth  Naboth  to  be  stoned,  and  puts  the  king  in  possession 
of  the  vineyard.  Whereupon  the  prophet  Elijah  denounceth  judgments 
against  Ahab  and  Jezebel ;  Ahab  repenting  God  defers  thejurtgment. 

Ahab  in  the  seventeenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Jehoshaphat  maketh  his 
son  Ahaziah  his  associate  in  the  government  of  his  kingdom. 

Jehoshaphat  also  makes  Jehoram  his  son  copartner  with  him ;  whence 
it  is,  that  Jehoram  the  son  of  Ahab,  who  succeeded  his  brother  Ahaziah 
in  the  kingdom  of  Israel,  in  the  eighteenth  year  of  Jehoshaphat  king  ol 
Judah,  is  said  to  have  begun  his  reign  in  the  second  year  of  Jehoram  the 
son  of  Jehoshaphat. 

Ahab  having  got  Jehoshaphat  to  assist  him  in  the  siege  of  Ramoth- 

ileadjbefore  he  goes,he  asketh  councUof  400  false  prophets,  who  promise 

im  victory  and  success  ;'but  by  Jehoshaphat's  advice  Micaiah,  a  true 
prophet  of  God;  is  consulted,  who  fortells  his  overthrow,  and  according 
to  his  word  Ahab  is  slain  at  Ramoth-gilead,  and  buried  at  Samaria, 

Ahaziah  king  of  Israel,  lying  ill  of  a  fall,  sends  to  consult  Baalzebub 
the  God  of  Ekron  concerning  his  recovery.  Elijah  the  prophet  meeteth 
the  messenger,  and  telleth  him  Ahaziah  shall  surely  die ;  whereupon  two 
captains  with  over  fifty  men  apiece  are  sent  to  apprehend  him,  and  bring 
him  before  the  king :  Elijah  calleth  for  fire  from  heaven,  and  destroyeth 
both  them  and  their  companies.  A  tliird  captain  with  his  fifty  men  being 
sent,  and  behaving  himself  submissively,  Elijah  goes  along  with  him  ; 
the  prophet  certifies  the  king  that  he  shall  not  come  down  from  his  Ijed 
alive.  So  Ahaziah  dieth,  having  governed  (partly  by  himself,  and  partly 
together  with  his  father)  two  years. 

Jehoram  succeedeth  his  brother  Ahaziah  in  the  kingdom  of  Israel  in 
the  latter  end  of  the  18th  year  of  Jehoshaphat,  and  reigneth  12  years. 

Elijah  is  taken  up  into  heaven  in  a  fiery  chariot. 

Jehoshaphat  grown  old  gives  to  his  sons  many  gifts  with  fenced  cities 
in  Judea;  but  his  eldest  son  Jehoram  he  now  more  absolutely  investeth 
with  the  throne  of  the  kingdom  in  the  fifth  year  of  Jehoram  kingof  Israel. 

Jehoramnow,  by  thedeathof  his  father,  has  thekingdomof  Judah  to 
himself,  which  he  holds  for  years.  Heisnosoonersettledin  liisthrono, 
but  he  puts  all  his  brethren  to  the  sword,  with  many  of  the  princes  of 
Israel.  At  this  time  the  Edomites,  who  ever  since  king  David's  time 
had  livedinsubjection  to  Judah,  revolt,  and  (as  it  was  foretold  by  Isaac) 
they  for  ever  shake  oil  his  yoke;  Llbnah  also,  a  city  of  the  priests  in  the 
tribe  of  Judah,  falls  off  from  him  about  this  time. 

Jehoram  following  thecoimcil  of  his  wicked  wife  Athaliah,  the  daugh 
ter  of  Ahab  king  of  Israel,  sets  up  in  Judah,  and  even  in  Jerusalem  itself 
the  idolatrous  worship  of  Baal,  and  compels  his  subjects  thereto :  a  letter 
which  was  left  for  him  by  Elijah  the  prophet  comes  to  his  hands,  which 
reproves  him,  and  denounces  ail  those  calamities  and  punishments 
which  afterward  befell  him. 

Ahaziah  succeeds  his  father  in  the  kingdomof  Judah,  (having  had  part 
of  the  government  bestowed  upon  him  the  year  before  in  the  12th  year 
of  Jehoram  king  of  Israel,  and  reigneth  one  year  in  Jerusalem. 

Jehoram  king  of  Israel,  and  Ahaziah  king  of  Judah,  lead  their  armies 
to  Ramoth-gilead  against  Hazael,  who  had  newly  succeeded  Ben-hadad 
in  the  kingdom  of  Syria  ;  Jehoram  is  dangerously  wounded,  and  retires 
himself  to  Jezreel  to  be  cured.  In  the  meantime  Elisha  sendeth  a  young 
prophet  with  instructions  to  anoint  Jehu  the  son  of  Jehoshaphat,  tne  son 
of  Nimshi,at  Ramoth-gilead  king  over  Israel,  and  to  open  to  him  the 
will  of  God  for  the  rooting  out  of  the  hou.se  of  Ahab;  who,  being  pro- 
claimed king  by  the  soldiers,  marcheth  straight  to  Jezreel,  killeth 
Jehoram  in  the  field  of  Naboth,  and  causeth  Jezebel  to  be  cast  out  at  a 
window,  where  ^he  is  eaten  by  dogs.  He  despatcheth  letters  also  to 
Samaria,  and  causeth  seventy  of  Ahab'schildren  to  be  beheaded.  Then 
taking  with  him  Jebonadab  the  son  of  Rechab,  he  comes  himself  to 
Samaria,  and  destroys  the  whole  family  of  Ahab^  and  all  the  priests  of 
Baal.  Nevertheless,  having  put  down  the  worship  of  Baal,  he  departs 
not  from  the  worship  of  Jeroboam's  golden  calves,  but  maintains  that 
idolatry  all  the  time  of  his  reign,  which  was  28  years. 

Jehu  proceeds  farther,  and  executes  the  divine  vengeance  upon  the 
idolatrous  house  of  Judah  ;  he  pursues  Ahaziah,  who  fled  towards  Me- 
giddo,  and  overtaking  him  at  Gur,  causeth  him  to  be  killed  in  his  chariot 
Going  also  to  Samaria,  he  meeteth  with  42  of  Ahaziah's  kinsmen,  whom 
he  causeth  to  be  slain. 

Athaliah  the  daughter  of  Ahab,  seeing  her  son  Ahaziah  dead  usurpf 
the  kingdom,  destroying  those  that  had  right  to  thesucce8.*<ion ;  but  Je- 
hosheba  the  daughter  of  king  Jchoramj  and  wife  to  Jehoiada  the  h.gh 
priest,  takes  Jehoash,  being  then  an  infant,  and  son  to  her  brothei 
Ahaziah,  and  hides  him  in  the  temple,  and  so  saves  him  from  that  massa- 
cre which  was  made  of  the  rest  of  the  blood  royal. 

Jehoiada  the  high  priest  brings  out  Jehoash,  now  seven  years  old,  and 
anoints  him  king ;  causeth  Athaliah  to  be  slain,  and  restore th  the  worsliip 
of  the  true  G<xl.  destroying  the  house  of  Baal,  and  commanding  the  idol- 
atrous priest  Mattan  to  be  killed  before  hlsaltars.  Jehoash  nowbeginn- 
ing  his  reign  in  the  seventh  ye^r  of  Jehu,  reigneth  40  years  in  Jeru.salem. 

Jehoash,  in  the  23d  year  of  his  reign,  giveth  order  for  the  repair  of  the 
temple,  committing  the  charge  thereof  to  Jehoiada  the  high  priest. 

Jehoahaz  succeedetli  his  father  Jehu  in  the  kingdom  of  Israel,  and 
reigneth  17  years:  during  all  of  which  time  Hazael  king  of  Syria  op' 
presseth  him,  and  exerciseth  all  those  cruelties  upon  the  Israelites, 
which  Elisha  the  prophet  had  foretold. 

Jehoash,  the  son  of  Jehoahaz  king  of  Israel,  is  taken  Into  the  con 
sortship  of  that  kingdom  by  his  father  In  the  27th  year  of  Jehoash  king 
of  Judah,  and  reigneth  16  years.

of  Judah  that  fall  to  Idolatry  after  the  decease  of  Jehoiada,  Is  stoned  to' 
deaiti  in  the  court  of  tlie  house  of  the  Lor*l  by  the  commandment  of 
kingjehoash,  who  the  next  yearafcerls  ranrderod  by  some  of  his  ser- 
vants, as  he  lay  in  hiabed  ;and  Amaziali  hisso:i  succeedoih  him.  | 

Jehoahaz  dieth,  and  Jehoash  his  son  sneceedeth  In  the  kingdom  of^ 
Israel.  Not  long  after  his  father's  funeral  he  visits  Elisha  the  prophet 
then  lying  sick,  and  .vith  many  tears  as'ceth  counsel  of  him,  who  pro- 
miseth  him  victory  over  the  Syrians.  A  dead  man  is  brought  tollfe  by 
being  laid  in  Elisha's  grave. 

JeroIx)am  the  second  in  this  year  taken  into  the  consortshlp  of  the 
kingdom  of  Israel  by  his  father  Jehoash,  going  to  war  against  the 
Syrians.  This  is  gathered  from  Azariah  king  of  Judah's  beginning  to 
reign  in  the  27th  year  of  this  Jeroboam. 

Amazlah  king  of  Judah,  growing  proud  upon  a  victory  ob*ained 
against  the  Edomites  this  14th  yearof^his  rei','n,  provokeh  Jehoash  king 
of  Israel  to  battle.  Jehoash  overcomes  him.  and  takers  him  prisoner, 
breaks  down  400  cubits  of  thewall  of  Jerusiilem,  and  havlngspolled  the 
temple  and  tlie  king's  house  of  a  vast  treasure,  returns  to  Samaria. 

Jenoash  dies  fifteen  years  before  Amazlah,  andjcroboam  the  second, 
his  son,  reigueth  in  Samarla41  years. 

Amazlah,  toavoid  a  conspiracy,  flies  to  Lachlsh,  where  he  Is  murder 
ed ;  after  whom  comes  his  son  Uzziah,  or  Azariah,  ia  the  27th  year  o 
Jeroboam  thesceond,  and  reigneth  52  years  in  Jerusalem. 

Now  is  held  the  13th  Jubilee  under  "the  two  most  flourishing  kings : 
in  whose  times  live  sundry  great  prophets  in  both  kingdoms ;  Isaiah 
and  Joel  in  Judah  ;  Jonas,  Hosea,  and  Amos,  in  Israel. 

Jonas  of  Gath-hepher,  a  town  belonging  to  the  tribe  of  Zebulon  in 
Galilee  of  the  Gentiles,  (observe  here  the  olindness  of  the  Pharisees, 
John  vil.  52),  was  afterward  sent  into  Nineveh,  the  metropolis  of  As- 
syria, where  both  kingand  people  at  his  preaching  repentea. 

Jeroboam  king  of  Israel  (under  whom  that  kingdom  came  to  its  full 
height  of  glory)  dieth;  after  his  death  all  things  fall  into  confusion,  and 
the  state  is  reduced  to  a  plain  anarchy,  which  lasteth  11  years  and  a 
half ;  for  such  an  interregnum  or  vacancy  the  synchronism  of  Kings 
requires,  that  the  six  months  of  Za(!hari<ih  the  son  of  Jeroboam  may 
answer  the  38  years  and  one  month  of  ,Shullum,  w.'io  murdered  him  in 
the  39th  year  of  Azariah,  or  Uzziah,  king  of  Judah. 

Zechariah  the  son  of  Jeroboam,  the  4th  and  last  of  the  race  of  .Tehu, 
(as  was  foretold,)  begins  his  reign  over  Israel  in  IheSSth  year  of  Azariah, 
or  Uzziah,  king  of  Judah,  and  reigueth  six  months. 

Shallum  the  son  of  Jabesh,  at  the  end  of  six  months,  murders  him  in 
the  sight  of  the  people,  and  reigns  one  month,  in  the  39th  year  of  Uzziah 
king  of  Judah.  After  Zachariah's  death  follow  those  direful  calamities 
foretold  by  Amos  the  prophet. 

Menahem  the  son  of  Gadi  golngfrom  Tlrzah  to  .Samaria,  killcth  ShaV 
lum,  wasteth  Tiphsah  and  the  borders  thereof,  and  because  the  town 
would  not  open  to  him,  he  takes  it,  and  ri  ps  upall  llie  women  witli  child 

While  Menahem  in  these  broils  labours  to  get  the  possession  of  the 
kingdom,  Paul  king  of  Assyria  invadethhiscountrv,  to  whom  Menahem 
giveth  1000  talents  of  silver,  and  afterward  reigueth  quietly  10  years. 

Pekahiah  succeedeth  his  father  Menahem  in  the  50th  year  of  Uzziah 
king  of  Judah,  and  reigneth  2  years. 

Pekah,  one  of  his  own  captains,  kills  him  in  his  own  palace  at  Sam 
aria,  and  reigneth  20  years. 

Jotham  succeedeth  nis  father  Uzziah  in  the  kingdom  of  Judah  at  the 
age  of  25  years,  and  reigneth  16  years  in  Jerusalem. 

Jotham  Bubdues  the  Ammonites,  and  makes  them  tributary  for  3 
years.  Under  him  and  his  two  successors  the  prophets  Micah  and 
Hosea  execute  their  prophetical  office.  Abovit  this  lime  lived  the 
prophet  Nahum,  and  prot>hesied  the  destruction  of  Nineveh. 

Ahaz  succeedeth  his  fat  her  Jotham  in  the  17th  year  of  Pekah  king  of 
Israel,  and  reigneth  Iti  years. 

This  year  Rozinkingof  Syria,  and  Pekah  tingof  Israel  are  confederate! 
against  Judah,  which  strikes  a  great  terror  into  that  nation  ;  but  unto, 
Ahaz,  God,  by  the  propliet  Isaiah,  sends  a  gracious  message,  with  a  pro-i 
mise  of  deliverance  :  for  a  sign  whereof  (when  the  incredulous  king, 
being  bid  to  ask  a  sigu,  refus-.-d  to  do  it)_  God  gives  him  the  pi'omise  of 
Immanuel  to  be  born  of  a  virgin.  Rezin  and  Pekah  now  lay  siege  to 
Jerusalem,  and  therein  to  Ahaz,  but  are  beaten  off;  Ahab  is  iio  si  loner 
delivere<l  from  hisenemies,  but  he  forsakes  God  his  deliverer,  and  tails 
to  idolatry.  Wherefore  God  gives  him  over  into  the  hands  of  the  king 
of  Israel,  who  slays  of  the  men  of  Judah  120,000  in  one  d:iy,  with  a  gre-at; 
many  of  the  nobility,  and  earricth  away  2JO,000  captives ;  but  these,  by, 
the  advice  of  the  prophet  Obed,  are  released  and  sent  home. 

Hoshea,  son  of  Elan  murders  Pekah  king  of  Israel,  and  gets  the  king-! 
dom  Into  his  own  hands;  inthe20thyear  of  Jotham,  from  thetinij  that 
Jotham  first  began  foreign,  which  is  thesame  with  the  4th  of  Ahaz  his 
son.  Hoshea,  by  rea.son  of  the  tumults  and  disorders  which  ensued, 
cannot  be  said  to  have  reigned  till  9  years  after,  the  state  continuing 
all  that  time  in  great  confusion,  without  any  form  of  government.        | 

Shalmaneser,  King  of  Assyria,  comes  ujjugainst  Hoshea,  and  makes 
him  to  serve  him,  and  pay  him  tribute. 

Hezekiah  succeedeth  his  father  Ahaz  in  the  kingdom  of  Judah  ;  he 
destroyeth  idolatry,  and  prospers :  he  also  celebrates  asolemn  passover, 
and  reigneth  29  years  in  Jerusalem ;  his  father  had  made  him  In  the  last 
year  of  his  reign,  his  assistant  in  the  government. 

Hoshea  kingoflsfbcl,  having  consulted  with  So  king  of  Egypt,  refus 
eth  to  pay  tribute  to  Shalmaneser;  provoked  hereby,  and  jealous  of 
some  farther  design  in  that  confederacy  of  Hoshea  with  the  king  of 
"  Tpt,  Shalmaneser  layethsiege  to  Samaria,  and  towards  the  latter  end 

the  third  year  he  taketh  it,  and  carrieth  away  the  Israelites  captive 
into  his  own  country.  This  was  the  end  of  the  kingdom  of  Israel 
when  it  had  stood  divided  from  the  kingdom  of  Judah  251  years. 

Sennacherlbkingof  Assyria,  coming  upagainst  Judah,  besiege  th  their 
fenced  cities,  and  taketh  many  of  them,  but  is  pacified  by  a  tribute. 

About  this  time  Huzi'kiah  fallssick,  andis  told  bylsaiah  that  he  shall 
die,  but  pouring  out  his  tears  and  prayers  unto  God,  he  recovereth  hii 
health,  and  obtaineth  a  prolongation  of  his  life  and  kingdom  for  15 
years.    For  a  sign  whereof  the  sun  goes  ten  degrees  backward. 

Sennacherib,  not  observing  the  articles  of  peace,  layeth  siege  to  Jem 
salem,  and  sendeth  a  blasphemous  letter  to  Hezekiah :  which  he  open 
ing,  and  spreading  before  the  Lord  in  the  temple  with  many  tears, 
craves  assistance  from  God  against  the  Assyrians.  Whereupon  the 
prophet  Isaiah  assures  him  that  God  will  deliver  him  and  defend  that 
city.  The  selfsame  nightan  angel  of  the  Lord  slays  185,000  men  in  the 
Assyrian  army;  and  the  next  morning  Sennacherib  departeth, and 
returns  to  Nineveh;  where  not  long  after,  whilst  he  is  worshipping  in 
the  house  of  Nisroeh  his  god,  he  is  slain  by  his  own  sons. 

Manasseh  at  12years  of  age  succeedeth  his  father  Hezekiah,  and  reigti- 
eth  58  years.  He  settoih  up  idolatrj-,  and  sheddeth  much  innoci'nli 
blood.  Wherefore  God  delivers  him  up  into  the  hands  of  the  Assyrians.! 
whointhe22d  year  of  his  reign  carry  him  away  captive  to  Babylon: 
but  upon  his  repentance  God  restores  him  to  his  liberty  and  kingdom. 

This  year  ^^ebuchodonosor  king  of  Assyria,  purposing  to  make  himself 
universa'  jionarch,  sends  Rolofemes  his  general  against  Judea,  who 
layethsiege  to  Betbnlia,  and  therehath  his  head  taken  off  by  Judith,! 
a  woman  of  the  tribe  of  Simeon.  j 

Amon,  aged  '22  years,  succeedeth  his  father  Manasseh,  and  reigneth: 
two  years.  An  idolater  indeed,  as  his  father,  but  no  penitent;  he  is: 
murdered  by  his  own  servants.  j 

Josiah,  a  child  of  8  years  old,  succeedeth  his  father  Amon,  and  reign- 
eth 31  years.  In  his  time  lived  Jeremiah  and  Zephanlah  the  prophets, 
and  Huldah  the  prophetess.  1

In  the  12th  year  of  hfsreign,  he  begrns  a  reformation  in  Judaa  and  Je- 
rusalem and  carries  it  on  successfully. 

This  year  he  giveth  order  for  the  repair  of  the  temple.  Hilkiah  the  high 
priest,  having  found  a  book  of  tlie  law,  sends  it  to  the  king,  who  hears  i! 
read  all  over  to  him;  and  thereupon  asketh  counsel  of  Huldah  the 
prophetess  who  prophesieth  the  destruction  of  Jeru-salem,  but  not  in  hif 
days.  Jo.siah  calling  to  him  theeldersof  Judah  and  Jerusalem,  with  the 
priests  and  prophets,  cause  th  the  book  of  the  law  to  be  reaxl  ^ver  before 
all  the  people,  and  reneweth  the  covenant  between  God  and  nis  x>eople . 
he  burneth  also  dead  men's  bones  upon  tho  altar  at  Beth-el,  as  was  ibr- 
told :  and  kcepeth  a  most  solemn  pas.sover. 

At  this  time  a  war  breaksout  between  theklngof  Egypt  and  the  king 
of  Assyria.  Josiah  unadvisedly  engaseth  in  this  war  against  reecho  king 
of  Egypt,  and  is  slain  in  the  valley  of  Megiddo.  The  good  king  being  thus 
taken  out  of  the  world,  whose  lifeonly  kept  olT  the  Babylonish  captivity 
from  that  nation,  not  only  the  people  then  living  bewailed  nis  death,  but 
even  in  after  time  a  public  mourning  for  him  was  kept.  The  prophet  Jere- 
my also  in  remembrance  thereof  compaseth  his  Lairontaiions ;  wherein 
bewailing  the  calamities  which  were  shortly  to  befall  that  people,  as 
present  before  his  eyes,  inamost  compassionate  manner  he  pointB,  asit 
were  with  his  finger,  at  thedeath  of  Josiah  as  the  source  and  original  of 
all  those  ensuing  miseries. 

After  the  death  of  Josiah,  the  people  anoint  Shallum,  one  of  his 
younger  sons,  to  be  their  king.  After  three  months'  reign,  he  is  deposed 
by  Pharaoh  Necho,  who  makes  Etiakim,  his  elder  brother,  king  over 
Judah  and  Jerusalem,  and  changes  his  name  into  Jehoiakim ;  but  Je- 
hoahaz he  carrieswith  him  captive  into  E^ypt,  where  he  ends  his  days. 

Jehoiakim,  at  25  years  of  age,  begins  to  reign,  and  he  reigneth  11  years. 

Uriah  and  Jeremiah  prophesy  against  Jerusalem ;  the  former  is  put  to 
death,  the  latter  is  acquitted,  and  set  at  liberty.  About  this  time  Hab- 
bakkuk  also  prophesieth. 

This  year  is  Nebuchadnezzarthe  Great  made  by  his  father  Nebopolaz- 
zar  his  associate  in  the  kingdom  of  Assyria  and  Babylon;  into  who.se 
hands  God  delivers  up  Jehoiakim,  who  is  put  in  chains  to  be  carried  to 
Babylon ;  but  upon  his  submission  and  promises  of  olxidicnce  is  left  in  his 
own  house,  where  he  lives  a  servant  to  Nebuchadnezzar  3  years. 

Nebuchadnezzar  gives  order  to  Ashpenaz,  master  of  the  eunuchs,  that 
he  shall  carry  from  thenceof  thechildren  of  Israel, both  of  the  blood  royal 
(as  was  foretold  by  the  prophet  Isaiah  to  Hezekiah)  and  also  of  the  no- 
bility, the  choicest  youths  both  for  beauty  and  wit  that  he  can  find ;  who 
being  educated  3  years  in  the  language  and  sciences  of  the  Chaldeans 
may  afterward  be  fit  to  serve  the  king  in  his  palace ;  among  whom,  of  the 
tribe.of  Judah,  are  Daniel,  called  Belteshazzar;  Hananiah  called  Sha- 
drach ;  Mishael,  called  Meshach ;  and  Azariah,  called  Abed-nego. 

Whilst  Nebuchadnezzar  pursues  his  victories  over  the  king  of  Eg  pt, 
his  father  dies ;  which  coming  to  his  knowledge,  he  gives  order  for  .  je 
bringing  away  of  the  captives,  and  posts  with  a  small  company  thenoar- 
est  way  to  Babylon,  where  he  is  received  as  the  lawful  successor  tc  his 
father's  dominions.  He  brought  to  Babylon  what  he  thinks  fit  of  'he 
vessels  and  furniture  of  the  temple,  and  placeth  them  in  the  house  ot  his 
god,  Belus. 

Jehoiakim,  having  lived  3  years  in  subjection  to  the  king  of  Babylon 
falls  off,  and  rebels  against  him. 

This  year  (being  the  second  of  Nebuchadnezzar's  reign,  taking  it  Mlt 
begun  at  his  father's  death,)  Daniel  recovers  Nebuchadnezzar's  dream, 
and  interprets  it  to  betoken  the  four  chief  monarchies ;  whereupon  he 
and  his  companions  are  highly  advanced. 

Nebuchadnezzar  sends  an  army,  consisting  of  Chaldeans,  SyriaDS, 
Moabites,  and  Ammonites,  against  Jehoiakim:  these  waste  the  whole 
country  ot  Judea,  and  carry  away  from  thence  3023  captives.  Jehoiakim 
also  is  taken  prisoner,  whom  they  put  to  death,  cause  his  carcass  tr.  be 
drawn  out  at  the  gate  of  Jerusalem  (as  was  foretold  by  the  prophet  Jere- 
miah) and  leave  it  without  the  walls  unburied. 

Jehoiachin  (called  al so (3onias and  Jeconias)  at  18 yearsof  age  succeeds 
his  father  Jehoiakim,  and  reigns  three  months  in  Jerusalem. 

Againsthim  Nebuchadnezzar  leads  an  army,  and  besiegeth  Jerusf  -tPi : 
Jehoiachin  with  all  his  kindred  and  courtiers  come  out  tc  meet  him.  fJe-  - 
buchadnezzar  makes  them  all  prisoners,  enters  Jerusalem,  and  take;,  all 
the  treasure  he  can  find  In  the  temple  and  theking'spulace.  breakin^tia 
pieces  all  the  ve.s.selsof  gold  and  furniture  which  Solomon  had  made  'ox 
the  temple ;  he  carrieth  away  captive  to  Babylon  the  king,  his  motner, 
wives,  courtiers  magistrates,  and  10,000  able  men  out  of  Jerusalem,  .eov. 
ing  none  behina  but  the  pooler  sort  of  people;  and  out  of  the  country 
round  about  he  carried  also  away  8030  artificers ;  among  the  captives  are 
Mordecal,  and  Ezekiel,  the  priest;  Ezekiel  therefore  in  his  propliesy 
reckons  the  time  all  along  from  the  beginning  of  this  captivity. 

Nebuchadnezzar  before  his  departure  from  Jerusalem,  makes  Matta- 
niah  .Jehoiachin'sfather's  brother,  king,changing  his  name  to  Zedekiih. 

Zedekiah,  beginning  his  reign  at  21  yearsof  age,  reigneth  11  years;  he, 
by  rebellingagainst  Nebuchadnezzar,  orrather  by  continuing  in  open  re- 
bellion (as  nis  fathers  had  done)  against  God,  brought  upon  Jeru.salem 
and  the  whole  nation  of  the  Jews  those  long-deserved  calamities  w  hicb 
God  had  so  often  forwarned  them  of  by  his  prophets  j  for,  in  the  latterend 
of  the  year  of  Zedekiah,  Jerusalem,  after  a  long  siege,  is  taken  by  Nebu 
chadnezzar,  and  his  Chaldeans  enter  it.  Zedekiah  fleesaway  by  night, 
but  being  pursued,  is  taken,  andbrought  prisoner,  to  Riblah,Nebuch,id- 
nezzar's  head-quarters ;  there  hayingfirst  seen  his  children  slaughtered 
before  his  eyes,  he  has  afterward  those  eyes  put  out,  and  being  loaaen 
with  chains,  is  carried  away  captive  to  Babylon.  About  a  month  alter 
the  taking  of  the  city,  Nebuzar-adan,  captain  of  the  guard,  sent  by  Nebu- 
chadnezzar, makes  his  entry  into  it,  sets  fire  to  the  temple.  thek,.;g'a 
palace,  and  some  noblemen's  houses,  and  so  layeth  the  whole  city  in 
ashes ;  the  walls  of  Jerusalem  being  razed  to  the  ground;  all  that  were  leif 
in  theclty.  and  those  thata  little  before  had  fallen  to  the  Chaldeans,  with 
what  treasure  he  canflnd,  doth  Nebnzaradan  carry  with  him  to  Babylon. 

And  thus  was  Judah  carried  out  of  her  own  land,  458  years  after  David 
began  to  reign  over  it,  388  years  after  the  falling  off  of  the  ten  tribes,  and 
134  years  after  the  destruction  of  the  kingdom  of  Israel. 

Obadiah  the  prophet  denounceth  God's  judgments  against  the  Edom 
Ites  who  now  insult  over  the  calamity  of  the  Jews.  The  .same  do  Jeremy 
and  Ezekiel,  and  the  author  of  the  97th  and  137th  Psalms,  who  wrote  all 
about  the  same  time.

Belshazzar.havingremoved  some  persons  who  had  murdered  hla  father 
Evil-merodach,  and  usurped  his  throne,  succeeds  in  the  kingdom  of 
Babylon.  In  the  first  year  of  this  king's  reign  Daniel  has  the  vision  of 
the  four  beasts,  signifying  the  four  great  monarchies  of  the  world,  andof{ 
God  delivering  over  all  power  and  sovereignty  to  the  Son  of  Man. 

In  the  third  year  of  Belshazzar,  Daniel  receives  the  vision  of  the  ram 
and  the  he-goat,  betokening  the  destruction  of  the  Persian  monarchv 
and  the  misery  which  Antiochus  should  bring  upon  the  people  of  God. 

This  year  Belshazzar,  makesagrcat  fca.st  forall  the  nobles.and  causeth 
to  be  brought  forth  all  theves-solsof  the  house  of  the  Lord,  which  Nebu- 
chadnezzar his  grandfather  had  brought  away  from  Jerusalem,  to  the 
glory  of  his  idols,  and  dishonourof  the  true  God.  In  the  midst  of  all  this 
jollitj;  a  hand  appears  writing  on  the  wall  of  the  room  in  which  the  king 
and  liisnumerousguests  sitdrinking.  The  king,  greatly  terrified  hereat, 
sends  for  his  Chaldean  astrologers  and  wizards,  and  commands  them  to 
read  the  writing,  and  give  him  the  interpretation  of  it;  but  they  not  being 
able  to  do  either,  Daniel  is  sent  for,  who  reads  the  writing,  and  gives  the 
king  the  interpretation  of  it ;  whereupon  Daniel  is  publicly  proclaimed 
the  third  man  in  the  kingdom.  This  same  night  Belshazzar  is  slain, 
Babylon  is  taken  by  Cyrus,  and  theempiro  translated  to  the  Medesand 
Persians,  as  had  been  sundry  times  foretold  by  the  prophcLs. 

Cyrus  having  given  the  kingdom  of  Babylon  to  Darius  the  Mede, 
reserving  some  palaces  in  the  city  for  himself,  he  returns  through  Media 
into  Persia. 

Daniel's  greatness  raising  envy  In  some  principal  courtiers  and  officers, 
these  contrive  his  ruin :  but  finding  nothing  in  his  management  of  affairs 
whereof  to  accuse  him,  they  resolve  to  order  matters  so,  that  Daniel's 
piety  towards  God  shall  become  an  offence  worthy  of  death.  They  move 
the  king  to  make  a  decree,  that  for  30  days  no  petition  shall  be  made  to 
any  god  or  man,  but  to  himself  only.  Which  decree  Daniel  breaks  by 
making  supplication  to  his  God,  and  is  for  so  doing  cast  into  a  den  of 
lions ;  but  being  found  to  have  received  no  hurt  there,  Darius  commands 
his  conspirators  to  be  cast  into  the  same  den,  whoare  presently  devoured; 
and  the  King  publisheth  a  decree,  that  all  persons  throughout  his  domin- 
ions shall  reverence  and  fear  the  God  of  Daniel. 

Towards  the  end  of  the  first  year  of  the  reign  of  Darius,  the  Mede,  to  be 
reckoned  from  the  subversion  of  the  Babylonish  empire,  begins  the  70th 
year  of  thecaptivityof  the  Jews,  which,  by  Jeremiah's  prophecy,  was  to 
be  the  last  year  of  their  calamity.  Upon  consideration  of  which  time  so 
near  at  hand,  Daniel  pours  out  his  most  fervent  prayers  to  God  for  the  re- 
mission of  his  own  sins,  and  those  of  his  people;  and  for  that  promised 
deliverance  out  of  their  captivity.  To  whom  the  Angel  Gabriel  bringsan 
answer  not  only  of  this,  but  alsoof  the  spiritual  deliveranceof  the  church 
by  the  death  of  the  Messiah ;  uttering  that  prophecy  of  the  70  weeks. 

Cyrus,  his  father  Cambyses  and  his  iathcr-m-law  Cyaxares  both  dying, 
Persia  falls  to  him  by  inheritance,  and  Media  by  contract  of  marriage : 
and  so  he  is  possessed  of  the  whole  eastern  empire ;  from  which  time  both 
Xenophon  (Inst  lib.  8.)  reckons  the  7  years  of  his  reign,  and  the  Holy 
Scripture  out  of  the  records  of  the  Mcdes  and  Persians,  reckons  this  his 
first  year ;  for  it  teacheth  us,  that  in  this  year  came  forth  that  renowned 
edict  of  his,  Thus  saith  Cyrus  king  of  Persia,  The  Lord  God  of  Heaven 
hath  given  me  ail  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth,  and  hath  charged  me  to 
build  him  a  houseat  Jerusalem  which  is  in  Judah,  &c.  At  which  time 
the  70  years  of  the  Babylonish  captivity  being  expired,  (as  was  foretold 
by  Isaiah  and  Jeremiah,  the  former  making  mention  of  Cyrus  by  name, ) 
he  gives  leave  to  all  the  Jews,  dwelling  in  all  parts  of  his  dominions,  to 
return  into  their  own  country,  and  commands  them  immediately  to  fall 
in  hand  with  rebuilding  of  the  temple. 

Herestorcth  also  all  thcvesselsof  thchouseof  God,  which  Nebuchad 
nezzar  had  brought  from  thence ;  and  contributes  towards  the  building. 

The  Jews  return  into  their  own  country;  the  ixx)rer  sort  having 
allowance  made  them  to  defray  their  charges  upon  the  way.  The  number 
of  the  children  of  the  province, or  Hebrews  born  in  Chaldea,  which  with 
their  captain  Zerubbabel,  and  their  high  priest  Jeshua,  return  out  of  cap- 
tivity, is  4'2,3(30,  besides  proselytes,  mcn-servanLs,  and  maid-servants,  to 
the  number  of  7,337.  Now  the  particular  sums  of  Ezra';*  catalogue  being 
cast  up  amount  only  to  29,818 ;  and  those  in  Neheiniah's  account  maif  e 
but  31 ,031,  both  which  come  far  short  of  that  general  sum  of  4'2,860,  which 
at  the  bottom  of  each  catalogue  is  said  to  be  the  number  of  the  whole  con- 
gregation. Wherefore  the  Hebrews  in  the  xxixth  chapter  of  their  great 
chronicle  tell  us,  that  to  complete  the  full  sum  of  42,360,  we  must  cast  in 
thoseoftheotherlOtri]Te30fIsrael,whocameupoutof  the  captivity  with 
the  Jews.  For  even  till  the  last  extirpation  of  the  Jewish  state  there  re- 
mained some  relics  of  theother  10  tribes, not  only  in  the  dispersion,  and  at 
Jerusalem,  and  other  cities  of  Judah  ;  but  also  of  thosewho  kept  still  in 
their  own  seats ;  for  Shalmancser  swept  not  away  all  out  of  the  whole  ten 
tribes,  but  left  a  remnant  of  them  in  their  own  country,  who  were  after- 
ward, together  with  the  Jews,  Benjamites,  and  Lcvites,  carried  away  by 
Nebuchadnezzar  i:ito  Babylon,  and  are  now  seat  back  a^ain  by  Cyrus. 

In  the  second  year  after  their  return  from  Babylon,  in  the  second 
month,  they  appoint  Levites  to  oversee  the  work  of  the  house  of  God, 
and  lay  the  foundation  of  the  temple ;  the  old  men  lamenting,  who  53 
years  tiefore  had  seen  the  old  temple  standing,  and  the  younger  sort 
rejoicing  to  see  the  new  one  going  up. 

The  Samaritans  bymeansof  certain  courtiersabout  Cyrus,  whom  they 
had  bribed  for  that  purpose,  disturb  the  Jews  in  their  work  of  the  temple. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  Artaxerxes  (called  in  profane  story 
Cambvses)  the  Samaritans,  who,  whilst  Cyrus  lived,  had  secretly  under- 
mined the  Jews,  now  of>enly  frame  a  direct  accusation  in  writing  against 
the  inhabitants  of  Judah  and  Jerusalem,  and  present  it  to  the  king,  who 
presently  forbids  the  Jews  to  proceed  in  the  building. 

In  thesecond  year  of  king  DariusUystaspes  (thesamewith  Abasuerus) 
Zerubbabel  and  Jeshua,  incited  by  the  prophets  Haggai  and  Zechariah, 
set  forward  the  building  of  the  temple. 

Haggai  prophesieth  that  the  glory  of  this  second  temple  shall  be 
greater  than  that  of  the  former;  not  as  being  a  more  magnificent 
structure,  but  in  regard  the  blessed  Messiah  shall  one  day  honour  it  with 
his  presence,  and  from  thence  propagate  peace  to  all  nations. 

Anasucrus  puts  away  queen  Vashtl  liis  wife,  and  not  long  after 
espouseth  Esther,  the  niece  of  Mordecai  the  Jew. 

In  the  sixth  year  of  Darius,  or  Ahasucrns,  the  temple  is  finished  ;  the 
dedication  whereof  Ls  celebrated  wi  th  great  joy  and  abu  ndance  of  sacri- 
fices, the  priests  and  Levites,  every  one  in  his  place,  standing  on  the 
ministry  of  the  temple.    The  pa.s.sover  also  is  celebrated. 

Ilaman,  an  Agagite,  of  the  race  of  Amalekitcs,  a  great  favorite  of  king 
Ahasuerus,  offended  at  Mordecai,  because  he  falls  not  down  and  adores 
him,  as  others  do,  resolves  to  be  revenged  of  the  whole  nation  of  the 
Jews,  (which  was  ever  averse  to  his,)  and  to  root  it  out;  for  the  cxecu^ 
ing  of  which  ymrpose,  that  he  may  find  a  successful  time,  he  causeth  Pur, 
that  i.s,  the  lot,  to  be  cast  before  him,  for  to  know  the  day  and  month 
tlie  Jews  sliall  i>c  destroyed,  and  the  lot  falls  on  the  12th  month  Adar. 

Haman  obtains  an  edict  from  the  king,  that  all  Jews,  without  respect  to 
sex  or  age,  upon  the  13th  day  of  the  month  Adar.l>e  put  to  death  in  all  the 
provinces oftho  king's  dominions.  Hereupon  Mordecai.  E8thcr,and  all 
the  Jews,  humble  themselves  before  the  Lord  by  fasting  and  prayer. 

Aha.sueru8,  hearing  it  read  in  the  chronicles  that  a  conspiracy  had 
lieen  discovered  to  him  by  Mordecai,  commandeth  that  he  be  publicly 
liononred  and  that  by  Hnman,  himself,  his  deadly  enemy. 

Esther,  entertaining  the  king  and  Haman  at  a  banquet,  maketh  suit 
for  her  own  life,  and  her  people's  and  accuseth  Haman.  The  king, 
understanding  that  Haman  had  provided  a  gallows  for  Mordecai, 
causeth  him  to  be  banged  thereon.  In  memory  ol  this  great  deliverance

I  Ezra  the  priest,  a  man  skilled  in  the  law  of  Moses,  obtains  a  largf 
commission  from  king  Artaxerxes,  to  settle  the  Jewish  commonwealth 
and  to  reform  the  church  at  Jeru.salem. 

In  the  twentieth  year  of  king  Artaxerxes,  Nehemiah  a  Jew,  one  of  his 
'cup-bearers,  being  made  governor  of  Judea,  obtains  leave  to  build  the 
wall  of  Jerusalem,  and  finish  that  great  work.  Here  begins  Daniel's  70 
weeks  to  be  fulfilled  before  the  passion  of  our  Saviour. 

Nehemiah  having  ruled  Judea  12  years,  returns  to  the  king  of  Persia. 

Tills  year  is  tlie  21st  Jubilee,  the  last  that  ever  theprophets  of  the  Old 
Testament  saw  ;  for  that  place  in  Nehemiah,  chap.  xii.  '22,  is  not  to  be 
understood  of  the  la.st  Darius,  but  of  Darius  Nothus,  who  now  reigns  in 
Persia ;  the  full  history  of  Neiiemiah  ending  with  the  time  of  Artaxerxes 
Longinus,  father  of  this  Darius  Nothus. 

Hitherto  (saith  Eusebius  in  his  chronicle,  to  the  32d  yearof  Artax- 
erxes) the  Divine  Scriptures  of  the  Hebrews  contains  the  annals  of  the 
times.  But  those  things  which  were  done  among  them  afterward  we 
must  deliver  out  of  the  books  of  the  Maccabees,  and  out  of  the  writings 
of  Josophus,  who  have  delivered  a  general  history  of  the  Jewish  aflairs^ 
from  thence  down  to  the  times  of  the  Romans. 

That  Malachi,  the  lastof  theprophets,  waa  contemporary  withNehc- 
miah,  appears  from  hence,  that  he  nowhere  exhorts  the  people  to  the 
building  of  the  temple,  as  Haggai  and  Zaehary  did  ;  but  the  temple 
being  now  built,  he  reproves  those  disorders,  which  Nehemiah  at  nit 
.second  return  with  anew  commi-ssion  from  Babylon  saith  be  found  in 
his  absence  to  have  crept  in  among  the  Jews ;  as  marriage  with  strange 
women,  withholding  of  tithes,  anil  abuse  in  the  worship  of  God.  And 
because  a  succession  of  prophets.was  not  to  be  expected,  as  before,  he 
exhorteth  the  people  constantly  to  adlicre  to  the  law  of  Moses,  till 
Christ  the  chief  prophet  should  appear ;  whose  lorerunner  John  the 
Baptist  should  come  in  the  spirit  and  power  of  Elias.  to  turn  the  hearts 
of  the  fathers  unto  their  children,  and  the  disobedient  to  the  wisdom 
of  the  just.    See  1  Jfdc.  iv.  46,  and  ix.  17. 

ALEXANDER  the  Great,  king  of  Macedonia,  passeth  out  of  Europe 
into  Asia,  and  begins  to  lay  waste  the  Persian  empire. 

Manasses,  brother  to  Jaddus  tlie  high  priest,  refusing  to  put  away  hl» 
strange  wife,  is  driven  from  the  sacrifice :  Sanaballath  his  father^in 
law,  governor  of  Samaria,  revoltoth  from  Darius,  obtains  leave  o. 
Alexander  to  build  a  temple  on  mount  Gerizim,  and  makes  Manassep 
high  priest  thereof,  to  whieli  resort  all  such  as  are  entangled  in  unlaw- 
ful marriage,  with  all  such  ofl'enders  as  think  themselves  not  safe  at 
Jerusalem.  Tliis  was  the  rise  of  that  schismatical  conventicle  of  the 
Samaritans.    See  John  iv.  20. 

Alexandermarchestoward Jerusalem, intendingtobesiegeit.  Jaddu? 
the  high  priest,  hearing  of  it,  puttetb  on  his  priestly  ornaments,  and 
accompanied  with  the  people  all  in  white,  goeth  out  to  meet  him.  Alex- 
ander, seeing  his  habit,  falls  prostrate  before  him,  saying  that,  whilst 
he  was  in  Macedonia,  a  man  apixiared  unto  him  in  the  very  same  habit, 
who  invited  him  to  come  into  Asia,  and  promised  to  deliver  the  Persian 
empire  into  his  hands.  After  this  he  goes  to  the  temple,  a  ud  offers  saeri 
fice  according  to  the  high  priest's  direction.  They  show  hiia  the  prophecy 
of  Daniel. That  a  Grecian  snonld  come  and  destroy  the  Persians;  whereby 
he  is  mightily  confirmed  in  his  persuasion  that  he  himself  is  the  man 
Lastly  he  bestoweth  on  the  Jews  whatever  favours  desi  red,  and  departs, 

The  Persians  are  overcome,  Darius  slain,  and  Alexander  remains 
universal  monarch  of  the  eastern  world. 

Alexander  having  reigned  si.x  years  and  ten  monthsdieth;  hisarmy 
and  dominions  arodividcd  among  his  captains.  Antigonus  makes  him- 
self governor  of  Asia,  Seleucus  of  Babylon  and  the  bordering  nations ; 
Lysimachus  hath  the  Hellespont ;  Cassander,  Macedon;  and  Ptolemeus 
the  son  of  Lagus,  gets  Egypt. 

Ptolemeus,  surnamed  Soter,  makes  himself  master  of  Jerusalem  by  f 
stratagem;  for  he  enters  the  city  on  a  sabbath-day  under  pretence  (» 
offering  sacrifice;  and  whilst  the  Jews  suspect  nothing,  but  sjiend  th( 
day  in  ease  and  idleness,  he  surpriseth  the  city  without  resistance,  and 
maketh  the  citizens  captives.  He  sendeth  several  colonies  of  Jewi 
into  Egypt,  and  puts  great  confidence  in  them. 

Ptolemeus  Philadclphus,  son  of  Ptolemeus  Soter,  being  agreat  favor- 
er of  learning,  builds  a  most  magnificent  libnu'yat  Alexandria.  De- 
metrius Phalerius,  to  whom  he  had  committed  the  care  of  procuring 
all  sorts  of  books  and  otit  of  all  countries,  persuades  him  to  employ  72 
Jews  in  translating  the  Holy  Scriptures  out  of  the  original  Hebrew  into 
the  Greek  tongue,  which  was  done  in  the  seventh  yi-ar  of  his  reign. 
The  king  also  dismi.s.seth  many  captive  Jews,  and  dedicates  many  pre- 
sents to  the  temple  of  God  at  Jerusalem. 

One  Simon,  a  man  of  the  tril«of  Benjamin,  governor  of  the  temple, 
falling  out  with  Onias  the  high  priest,  goes  to  ApoUonius,  governor  oi 
Celosyrla,  and  informs  him  that  there  is  a  vast  treasure  in  the  temple  ; 
ApoUonius  acquaints  king  Seleucus  his  master  with  it,  who  sends  his 
treasurer  Heliodorus  to  Jerusalem,  to  bring  this  money  away.  Heli- 
odorus  entering  the  temple,  is  by  angels  struck  down  in  the  very  place, 
and  carried  from  thence  half  dead;  butby  thei>rayersof  Oniasheissoon 
after  restored  to  his  health.  Returning  to  Seleucus  that  sent  him,  he 
magnifies  the  holiness  of  the  tempi e,and  the  power  of  God  d%velling  in  it. 

Antiochus  Epiphaues  succeedsWeleucus  iu  the  kingdom  of  Syria,  and 
reigneth  11  years  and  some  months. 

Jason,  by  corrupting  king  Antiochus,  secures  the  office  of  high  priest. 

Menelaus,  brother  to  Simon  the  traitor,  being  employed  by  Ja.son  to 
carry  the  money  to  the  king,  promlscth  3U0  talents  of  silver  above  what 
Jason  bad  sent,  and  getteth  the  priesthood  to  himself. 

MenelauSj  not  paying  the  money  he  had  promised  the  king  at  his 
admission,  is  summoned  to  ap]K.'ar  before  Antiochus ;  he  substituteth 
Lysimachus  his  brother  in  his  place. 

Antiochuslaketh  Jerusalem,  and  sacking  I  t.pillageth  the  temple,  de- 
stroyeth  40,000  of  the  inhabitanUs,  and  selleth  as  many  more.  He  en- 
deavoureth  also  to  abolish  the  worship  of  God,  and  foreeth  many  Jews 
to  forsake  their  religicm.  The  Samaritans  now  disown  their  relation  to 
the  Jews,  to  whom  in  prosperity  they  ])retended  alliance,  and  conse- 
crate the  temple  on  mount  Gerizim  tojuypiter, 

Perseus,  having  made  war  upon  the  Romans,  is  this  year  overcome 
by  them,  and  the  kingdom  of  the  Macedonians  ends,  when  from  (Ur- 
anus it  had  slood  626  years.  Nevertheless  the  relics  of  the  Macedonian 
empire,  while  tliatof  the  Roman  was  ri.sing,  did  yet  survive  In  the 
Ptolemies  of  Egypt,  and  the  kings  of  Syria. 

King  Antiochus,  by  a  public  edict,  commands  all  ''ations  that  are 
subject  unto  him  to  observe  thesame  way  of  divine  wors.  'i]\  and  laying 
aside  their  peculiar  customs,  to  profefs  thesame  religioi  with  the  Ore 
clans:  the  punishment  of  death  Wing  threatened  unto  t  icli  as  shall  be 
disobedient ;  and  he  apiwinls  overseers  over  every  i>er,ple  and  nation 
who  shall  compel  them  hereunto.  Of  the  Jews  many  choose  rather  to 
undergo  the  most  cruel  tornients,  than  to  offer  sacrifice  unto  idols  ;  all 
which  martyrdoms,  with  those  glorious  sufferings  of  the  seven  Macca- 
Ijean  brethren,  are  recorded  iu  the  two  books  of  Maccabees. 

Mattathias,  a  priest,  with  bis  five  sons,  slay  those  that  are  sent  by 
king  Antiochus  tocompel  them  tootTeralK)miiiab!e  sacrifices,  and  after 
betake  tliemselves  to  the  desert.  They  are  followed  by  many  others 
of  whom  a  great  number  are  stifled  in"their  caves,  liecause  they  would 
not  defend  themselves  on  the  sabbath-day.  Mattathias  aliolisbetb 
that  surierstllion,  and  exhorts  his  sons  to  assert  their  privileges,  and 
deliver  their  country  from  Iwndage. 

ilattatliias  dies,  and  Judas  Maccabeus  takes  upon  him  the  manage- 
ment of  this  afTair.  He  delivers  his  country  and  purgetb  it  from  thr 
abominations  which  bad  Ixseu  committed  in  it.

ApoUonm.?,  governor  of  Samaria,  having  raised  an  army  among  the 
Gentiles  and  Samaritans,  falls  upon  the  Jews ;  but  is  discomfited  and 
slain  by  Judas  Maccabeus. 

Seron  also,  governorof  the  lower  Syria,  musters  up  all  the  forces  under 
his  command,  and  invades  Judea  ;  him  Judas  Maccabeus  encounters 
slays  SCO  of  his  men  on  the  place,  and  puts  the  rest  to  flight. 

Juda-s  Maccabeus  defeats  a  great  army,  which  Antiochus  sent  against 
the  Jews.  Lysias  returns  with  a  greater  power ;  Judas  kills  5000  of  his 
men,  and  causeth  him  to  retreat.  He  purifleth  the  temple,  and  setteth  it 
in  order,  after  it  had  lain  desolate  three  years;  and  buildeth  a  wall 
about  Sion. 

Antiochus  is  taken  with  a  violent  pain  i  n  his  bowels,  and  such  arotten- 
ness  seizetli  his  flesh,  that  worms  breed  in  it :  ho  conle.sseth  that  he  is 
plivgued  for  the  wrong  done  to  Jerusalem,  and  dieth  in  the  149th  year  of 
the  kingdom  of  the  Grecians.  His  son  Antiochus  Eupator,  a  child  about 
nine  years  old,  succeeds  him.  Ho  makoth  peace  with  the  Jews,  bat 
quickly  breaketh  it;  he  puts  to  death  Menelaus  the  high  priest,  and 
confers  that  honour  upon  Alcimus.  or  Jacimus. 

Onias,  the  son  of  Onias  III.,  retires  into  Egypt,  where  Ptolemens  Philo- 
metor,  and  Cleopatra  his  wife,  permit  him  to  build  a  temple  at  Heliopolis 
in  imitation  of  that  at  Jerusalem,  and  constitute  him  high  priest  there. 

Demetrius  Soter,  the  son  of  Seleucus,  escapes  from  Rome,  and  comes 
into  Syria,  where  ne  causeth  himself  to  be  crowned  king,  and  putteth 
to  death  Antiochus  and  Lysias. 

Demetrius,  at  the  instance  of  Alcimtis,  sends  Nicanor  with  a  great 
army  against  Judas  Maccabeus,  whom  he  endeavors  to  surprise.  They 
join  battle,  and  Nicanor  is  slain. 

Hero  ends  the  continued  history  of  the  second  book  of  Maccabees.being 
an  abstract  and  breviary  of  the  five  books  of  Jason,  a  Jew  of  Cyrene. 

King  Demetrius  sends  Bacchides  with  a  new  army,  consisting  of  20,000 
men,  against  Judas  Maccabeus  ;  Judas,  having  with  him  but  800  men. 
ventures  to  engage  him,  and  is  slain.  His  brother  Jonathan  is  chosen 
general  in  his  stead. 

Jonathan  enters  into  an  alliance  with  the  Romans.  Josephus  observes, 
that  this  was  the  first  league  that  ever  was  known  to  be  between  the 
Jews  and  the  Romans. 

Whilst  Alcimus  commands  the  wall  of  the  inner  court  of  the  temple 
to  be  pulled  down,  God  strikes  him  suddenly  with  a  palsy,  so  that  with- 
out speaking  a  word  he  dies  in  great  torment. 

Jonathan,  having  wearied  Bacchides  by  war,  compelleth  him  to  make 
a  league  and  draw  off  his  army. 

Alexander  Balas,  son  of  king  Antiochus  Epiphanes,  enters  with  an 
army  into  Syria :  the  garrison  of  Ptolemais  set  open  their  gates  to  him,  by 
reason  of  their  hatred  to  king  Demetrius ;  who  prepares  himself  for  war. 

Demetrius  desireth  an  alliance  with  Jonathan,  who  makes  use  of  this 
occasion  to  repair  the  fortifications  of  Jerasalem. 

Alexander  Balaa  is  no  less  careful  toobtain  the  friendship  of  Jonathan, 
and,  to  oblige  him,  confers  on  him  the  high  priesthood. 

Jonathan  puts  on  the  holy  vestment  on  the  seventh  month  of  the  160th 
year  of  the  kingdom  of  the  Grecians,  at  the  feast  of  taliernacles.  He  was 
the  flrst  high  priest  of  the  Hasmonean  family. 

Demetrius  and  Alexander  come  to  battle,  and  Demetrius  is  slain. 

Alexander  Balas,  finding  himself  in  the  peaceable  possession  of  the 
kingdom  of  Syria,  espouseth  Cleopatra,  the  daughter  of  Ptolemens  Philo- 
metor  king  of  Egypt.  Alexander  highly  honours  Jonathan  the  high 
piiest  at  his  nuptials. 

Demetrius  Nicanor,  eldest  son  of  Demetrius  Soter,  enters  into  Cilicla 
with  an  army.  King  Alexander  Balas  gives  the  command  of  Syria  to 
Apollonius,  who  sets  upon  Jonathan  the  high  priest ;  Jonathan  defeats 
him,  and  takes  Jopi>e  and  Azotus,  and  biu-ns  the  temple  of  Dagon. 

Ptolemeus  Philometor,  kingol  Egypt,  comes  to  the  relief  of  king  Alex 
ander  his  son-in-law ;  Alexander  ungratefully  sets  Ammonius  to  lie  in 
ambush  to  kill  him.  The  treachery  Dcingdiscovered,  Ptolemeus  takes 
away  his  daughter  from  Alexander,  and  marrieth  her  to  Demetrius. 

Alexander  having  been  driven  from  Antioch,  the  inhabitants  of  that 
place  make  offer  of  the  kingdom  to  Ptolemeus ;  but  he  refuseth  it,  and 
persuadeth  them  to  accept  of  Demetrius  for  their  king. 

Ale-xanderretunis with agreat army.  Ptolemcusand Demetriusunite 
their  forces,  and  overcome  him  in  a  pitched  battle;  but  Ptolemeus  dies^ 
of  the  wounds  which  he  received,  after  he  had  seen  the  head  of  Alex- 
ander sent  tohim  by  Zabdiel,  an  Arabian  prince.  Jonathan  besiegeth  the 
citadel  at  Jerusalem,  held  by  a  garri.son  of  Macedonians.  Complaint 
hereof  being  made  to  Demetrius,  Jonathan  appeaseth  him  by  presents, 
and  obtainothnow  favoursfor  the  Jews.  Demetrius  incurreth  the  hatred 
of  his  soldiers  by  abridging  their  pay  in  time  of  peace. 

Tryphon,  with  somesoldiers  that  revoltedfrom  Demetrius,  undertakes 
to  establish  Antiochus,  son  of  Alexander  Balas,  in  the  kingdom  of  Syria 

Demetrius  is  vanquished  by  young  Antiochus,  and  made  to  fly  Into 
.Seleucia.  Great  honours  are  by  Antiochus  conferred  on  Jonathan,  who 
assists  him  against  Demetrius. 

Jonathan  renews  his  alliance  with  the  Romans  and  Lacedemonians, 
and  fortifies  Jerusalem. 

Tryphon  contrives  ho  w  he  may  quit  himsel  f  of  Antiochus,  and  reign  in 
his  stead :  but  fearing  Jonathan's  opposition  ho  invites  him  to  come  to 
Ptolemais,  and  brin^  with  him  some  few  of  his  soldiers,  promising  to  de- 
liver that  city  into  his  hands.  Jonathan,  suspecting  no  treachery,  comes 
only  with  1000  men  to  Tryphon  at  Ptolemais ;  but  as  soon  as  he  is  entered 
the  city,  Tryphon  commands  the  gates  to  be  shut.  Jonathan  is  taken 
prisoner,  and  all  his  men  put  to  the  sword. 

The  Jews  hereupon  make  choice  of  Simon  Maccabeus  for  their  general 
in  the  place  of  his  brother  Jonathan.  Tryphon  leads  an  army  against 
Simon.  He  promiseth  for  100  talents  of  silver  to  release  Jonathan  ;  the 
money  being  paid  him,he  breaks  hispromise.and  puts  Jonathan  to  death 
Simon  erects  a  stately  monument  for  his  father,  and  his  brethren. 

Tryphon  murders  the  young  king  Antiochus,  and  puts  the  crown  on 
his  own  head. 

The  Romans  and  Lacedemonians  renew  their  leagues  with  Simon  and 
write  them  in  tables  of  brass 

Simon  has  thegovemmentand  high  priesthood  settled  on  him  and  his 
heirs :  the  Jews  are  by  his  means  discharged  from  all  manner  of  tribute 
to  any  foreign  prince.  He  takes  Sion,  tlie  fortress  of  Jerusalem,  drives 
out  01  the  city  all  idolaters,  clear  the  houses  of  their  idols,  and  placeth 
in  the  city  such  as  are  true  worsbipix>rs  of  God. 

Tryphon's  viceirender  him  so  odious  to  his  soldiers,  that  they  submit 
themselves  to  Cleopatra,  Demetrius's  relict.  She  marrieth  Antiochus 
Soter,  Demetriiw's  brother,  and  causeth  him  to  be  crowned  king.  Anti- 
ochus drives  Tryphon  out  of  Syria,  besiegeth  him  In  Dora,  whence  he 
flies  to  Apamea.  where  he  is  taken  and  slain. 

Simon  the  high  priest  traversing  the  citiesof  Judea,  and  taking  care  for 
their  orderly  government,  comes  down  with  his  two  sons,  Mattathias  and 
Judas  to  Jericho ;  Ptolemeus  the  son  of  Abubus,  Simon's  son-in-law,  in- 
vites them  to  a  castle  which  he  had  fortifie<l,  called  Dochus,  and  there, 
whilst  he  entertains  them  at  a  banquet,  barbarously  murders  them. 
John  nircanus  succeeds  his  father  in  the  high  priesthood. 

Here  ends  the  flrst  booh  qf  Maccabees,  containing  the  history  of  forty  years. 

John  Ilircanns  takes  Shechem,  and  demolishe'h  the  temple  on  mount 
Gerizim,  200  years  after  it  had  teen  built  by  Sanballat. 

Judas,  eldest  son  of  Hircanus,  otherwise  called  Aristobulus,  and  gur- 
named  Philellen,  succeeds  his  father  in  the  government  and  the  high 
priesthood  ;  he  was  the  first  of  any,  <hat,  after  the  return  from  the 
captivity  of  Babylon,  set  a  cr^wa  upon  his  head,  and  changed  the  state 
into  a  monarchy.

of  the  treasure  which  was  in  the  temple,  but  makes  the  Jews  tribut»r>

Here  begins  the  empire  of  th^  Roman  Ce9ar8,when  Juliits  Oesar,  having 
overthrotvn  Pompey  at  the,  battle  of  Pharsaiin,  was  made  perpetual  dictator.

and  takes  it :  the  soldiers  fill  all  corners  of  the  city  with  blo^jd ,  rapint

Cesar  Octavianns,  nephew  to  Julius  Cesar,  assumes  tho  title  of  em-

changed  from  a  republic  mto  a  monarchy.  Tlie  next  year  fol.  ^lr>(

cense  in  the  temple,  telling  him  that  a  sou  shall  be  born  unto  Eim 
whom  he  shall  call  John. 

In  the  sixth  month  after  John  was  conceived,  the  same  angel  Gabrit. 
is  sent  by  God  to  Nazareth  in  Galilee,  to  the  most  blessed  Vlijsin  Mar* 
(espoiLsed  to  Joseph,  a  person  of  the  house  and  lineage  of  David) ;  the 
angel  declares  unto  her,  that  she  shall  conceive  by  the  overshadowing 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  bring  forth  a  son,  and  call  his  name  JESUS.

John  the  Baptist  begins  to  preach  and  to  baptize  in  the  desert  o

sabbath-day  a  man  that  had  an  infirmity  38  years,  lying  at  the  pool 
ofBethesda.  He  makes  a  most  divine  apology  to  theJews  that  sought 
to  kill  him,  because  he  said  that  God  was  his  father. 

Christ  out  of  the  multitude  of  his  disciples  chooseth  12.  whom  he

Th'^  fourth  passover,  in  which  Christ  our  pa^sover  is  sacrificed^  1  Cor.  v.  7, 
and  so  an  end  is  put  to  all  legal  sacrifices  prefif/uri7ig  this  great  expia 
lion.     The  fourth  or  middle  year  of  Daniel's  last  week  begins.  Dan.  ix.  27. 

ON  the  first  day_  of  unleavened  bread,  when  the  passover  of  the  Jews 
was  to  be  slain  (April  2),  in  the  evening,  Jesus  eateth  the  passover 
with  his  disciples,  and  institutes  the  sacrament  of  his  body  and  blood  in 
bread  and  wine. 

Christ  washeth  his  disciples'  feet,  and  exhorteth  them  to  humility 
and  charity. 

In  the  self-same  night  Christ  is  betrayed  by  Judas,  mocked,  buffeted, 
and  spit  upon  by  the  soldiers. 

Next  day  he  id  condemned  by  Pilate,  and  crucified  ;  the  sun  during 
the  crucifixion  is  darkened,  and  the  vail  of  the  temple  rent  in  the 
midst.  Christ  praying  for  his  enemies  gives  up  the  Ghost.  Joseph  of 
Arimathea  begs  the  body,  and  lays  it  in  a  now  sepulchre. 

On  tho  third  day,  the  next  after  the  Jewish  sabbath  {April  5),  Christ 
riseth  from  the  dead ;  his  resurrection  is  declared  by  angels  to  the  wo- 
men that  came  to  the  sepulchre.  Christ  first  appeareth  to  Mary  Mag- 
dalene, and  afterward  to  his  disciples,  and  dineih  with  them, 

Christ  bringcth  his  apostles  to  mount  Olivet;  commanded  them  to  ex- 
pect in  Jerusalem  the  sending  down  of  the  Holy  Ghost :  sends  them  to 
teach  and  baptize  all  nations,  and  blesses  them ;  and  while  they  behold, 
he  is  taken  up,and  a  cloud  receives  liim  out  of  their  sight.  After  his  ascen-i 
sion  the  discijiles  are  warned  by  two  angels  to  depart,  and  to  set  their 
minds  upon  his  second  coming;  they  accordingly  return,  and,  giving] 
them.selves  to  prayer,  choose  JIatthius  to  bean  apostle  in  place  of  Judas. 

On  the  day  of  Pentecost  {May  21),  the  Holy  Ghost  dcscendcth  on  the 
apostles  In  the  form  of  cloven  tongues,  like  as  of  fire,  and  enableth 
tnem  to  speak  all  languages.  Peter  Ihe  same  day  preaoheth  Christ  and 
the  resurrection,  and  about  3000  believers  are  added  to  the  church. 

The  rulers  of  the  Jews,  offended  at  Peter's  sermon^  and  his  miracu- 
lous cure  of  the  lame  man,  cast  both  him  and  John  into  prison ;  upon 
their  examination  they  boldly  avouch  the  lame  man  to  be  healed  by] 
the  name  of  Jesus,  and  that  by  the  same  Jesus  we  must  be  eternally 
saved.  The  Jews  forbid  them  to  spt^ak  any  more  in  that  name.  The 
apostles  answer,  that  it  Is  fit  they  should  obey  God  rather  than  men. 
They  are  threatened  and  let  go. 

Ananias  and  l;is  wife  Sapphira  for  their  hypocrisy  are  struck  dead. 

The  apostles  are  again  cast  into  prison  by  the  high  priest;  but  an  angel 
set  them  at  liberty,  and  bids  them  preach  the  gospel  to  the  people  with-] 
out  fear:  being  taken  again  teaching  in  the  temple,  they  are  brought 
before  the  council;  v.  here,  by  the  adviceof  Gamaliel,  they  are  delivered. 

The  number  of  believers  increasing  at  Jerusalem,  the  apostles  ordain 
seven  deacons, whoshould distribute  the  alms  of  the  whole  church  to  the 
widows  and  poorer  sort  of  believers.  Stephen,  one  of  these  deacons, 
having  confounded  some  that  disputed  with  him,  is  by  them  falsely  ac- 
cused of  blasphemy.and  brought  before  the  council,  where  he  reprehends 
their  rebellion,  and  murdering  of  Christ.  Whereupon  ttiey  cast  him  out 
of  the  city,  and  stone  him :  he  in  the  mean  time  praying  for  them.        I 

A  great  persecution  of  the  Church  at  Jerusalem  follows  after  the: 
death  of  the  first  martyr  Stephen. 

Philip,  oneof  the  seven  deacons,  preacheth  at  Samaria,  and  converteth 
many;worketh  miracles,  and  healeth  the  sick.  Simon  the  sorcerer,! 
seeing  the  wonders  that  are  done  by  Philip,  believeth,  and  is  baptized.' 

The  apostles  at  Jerusalem,  hearing  that  Samaria  had  received  the 
faith,  send  thither  Peter  and  John  to  confirm  and  enlarge  the  church. 
The  apostles  by  prayer  and  imposition  of  hands  confer  the  Holy  Ghost' 
on  all  believers.  Simon  Magusoffors  them  money,  thathe  may  receive 
the  power  of  conferring  the  same,  whoseimpiety  is  sharply  reproveti  by 
Peter.    Having  completed  their  ministry,  they  return  to  Jerusalem. 

An  angel  sendeth  Philip  to  teach  and  baptize  the  Ethiopian  eunuch 

Saul,  a  violent  persecutor  of  all  that  call  on  the  nameof  Jesus,  and 
one  who  consented  to  thedeath  of  Stephen,  goes  now  towards  Damas- 
cus with  commission  from  the  high  priest  and  the  council  to  apprehend 
all  Christians  in  those  parts,  and  to  bring  them  bound  to  Jerusalem ; 
on  the  way  he  is  miraculously  converted  by  a  voice  from  heaven  ;  and 
three  days  after  baptized  by  Ananias  at  Damascusi  where  he  preached 
the  gospel  of  Christ  with  great  boldness. 

Saul  having  preached  the  gospel  at  Damascus  a  long  time,  the  Jews 
lay  wait  to  kill  him,  but  he  escapeth  from  thence,  and  comes  to  Jeru- 
salem ;  there  he  sees  Peter,  and  James  the  brother  of  our  Lord,  and 
abides  with  them  fifteen  days.  Here  he  speaks  boldly  in  the  name  of 
Jesus,  and  disputes  with  tlie  Grecians,  or  rather  Jews  that  used  the 
Greek  tongue.    Tliese  also  consult  how  they  may  kill  him. 

While  Saul  prays  in  the  temple,  he  is  in  a  trance,  and  the  Lord  apiiears 
untohim,  and  bids  him  to  depart  from  Jerusalem,  because  they  will  not 
receive  his  testimony;  adding,  that  he  v/ill  send  him  to  the  Gentiles. 

Saul  leaving  Jerusalem  goes  to  his  own  country  Tarsus,  and  from 
thence  travels  into  Syria  and  Cilicia. 

Peter  visits  the  churches  of  Judea,  Galilee,  Samaria.  &c.  At  Lydda 
he  cureth  Eneas  of  the  palsy ;  and  at  Joppa  restoreth  Tabitha  to  life. 

At  Cesarea,  Cornelius,  a  centurion,  by  prayers  and  alms  finds  favour  in 
the  sight  of  God,  and  is  commanded  by  an  angel  toseiid  for  Peter,  now  at 
Joppa.  Godbyavision  tcacheth  Peternottodespise  the  Gentiles.  Peter 
bei:-.g  sent  for  by  Cornelius,  goes  and  preacheth  Christ  to  him  and  agreat 
company  that  were  met  at  his  house ;  while  Peter  preacheth,  the  Holy 
Ghost  falls  upon  them  all ;  and  immediately  tlieapostle  baptizeth  them. 

Peter,  at  his  return  to  Jerusalem,  is  accused  by  those  of  the  circum-; 
clsion  for  conversing  with  the  Gentiles;  but  he  declares  to  them  his, 
vision,  and  the  whole  matter  concerning  Cornelius;  and  they  glorify 
God  for  granting  to  the  Gentiles  also  repentance  unto  life. 

The  believers,  who  ever  since  the  martyrdom  of  Stephen  and  the  per- 
secution thereupon  ensuing,  had  beendispersedthroughoutall  Pheulce 
and  Cyprus,  come  now  to  Antioch,  and  preach  the  gospel  to  the  Greeks 
there,  having  Iwfore  preached  to  none  but  the  Jews.  The  church  at 
Jerusalem,  understanalng  this,  and  that  the  number  of  believers  in- 
crea.sed  exceeflingly,  sends  Bariiabivs  thither  to  confirm  them ;  ho  goes; 
to  Tarsus,  and  takes  Saul  along  with  him  to  Antioch,  whore  they  con- 
tinue a  whole  year,  converting  .uitltitudes  to  the  faith.  Here  the  dis 
ciples  were  first  called  Christians. 

About  this  time  James  the  brother  of  John  Is  beheaded  by  the  com- 
mand of  Herod  Agripja.  He  also  imprisoneth  Peter,  whom  an  angel 
delivers  upon  the  prayers  of  the  church.  This  same  Herod,  not  long| 
after,  speaking  to  the  people  at  Cffisarea,  some  of  them  cry  out,  It  is  thoj 
voice  of  God,  and  not  of  man  ;  and  immediately  an  angel  of  the  Lorol 
smites  him,  becauue  be  gave  not  the  glory  to  God :  and  be  is  eaten  ofj

Barnabas  and  Saul  set  forward  in  their  preaching  of  the  gospel.  Thej 
pl^nt  the  Christian  faith  in  SeleucIa,Cyprus,aiid  other  places.  At  Paphop 
they  preach  the  gospel  to  Sorgius  Paulus,  governor  of  that  country; 
Elymas  a  sorcerer,  withstanding  them,  and  endeavouring  to  turn  away 
Sergius  from  the  faith,  is  at  Saul's  rebuke  struck  blind.  From  this  time 
Saul  is  always  called  by  his  now  name  Paul ;  he  preacheth  to  Antioch 
the  Gentiles  believe,  but  the  Jews  gainsay  and  blaspheme.  'Whereupor 
he  and  his  assistants  turn  to  the  Gentiles,  and  come  to  leonium. 

At  Iconium  they  are  persecuted  and  ready  to  be  stoned.  From  hence 
they  fly  to  Lystra  and  Derbe,  cities  of  Lycaonia.  At  Lystra,  Paul  heal- 
ing a  cripple,  the  multitude  cry  out,  that  the  gods  are  come  down,  and 
call  Barnabas  Jupiter ;  and  Paul,  Mercurius ;  and  would  have  sacrificed 
to  them,  had  not  the  apostles  with  clothes  rent  run  in  among  them,  and 
assured  them  that  they  were  men  like  themselves.  Soon  after  them 
come  Jews  from  Antioch  and  Iconium,  who  excite  the  people  against 
them.  Paul  is  by  the  furious  multitude  stoned,  and  drawn  out  of  the  city 
as  dead  ;  but  whilst  thcdisci  pies  stand  almut  him,  he  riseth  up,  and  the 
next  day  departs  with  Barnabas  to  Dorbe. 

In  this  year  Paul  was  caught  up  into  the  third  heaven,  and  heard 
unspeakalile  words. 

About  this  time  Timothy,  though  a  child,  with  hismother  Eunice,  an(? 
his  grandmother  Lois,  embrace  the  Christian  faith  preached  by  Paul 

Certain  Judaizing  Christians  come  from  Judea  to  Antioch.  and  teach 
that  the  Gentiles  ought  to  be  circumcised,  and  observe  the  law  of  Mosos ; 
these  Paul  and  Barnabas  oppose,  and  a  council  is  held  by  the  apostles 
and  others  at  Jerusalem  to  determine  this  controversy. 

Paul  and  Barnabas,  thinking  to  visit  the  churches  together,  fall  at 
strife,  and  part  asunder :  Bamsibas  and  Mark  go  into  Cyprus ;  Paul  and 
Silas  into  Syria  and  Cilicia. 

Paul  coming  to  Derbe  finds  there  Timothy,  whom  (because  his  moth  ei 
was  a  believing  Jew,  though  hi.!!  fallior  a  Gentile,)  he  causeth  to  be  cir- 
cumcised, and  takes  him  along  with  him.  He  is  by  a  vision  admonished 
to  go  into  Macedonia:  coming  toPhilippi.  the  chief  city  of  that  part  of 
Macedonia,  he  converts  Lydia;  crstcth  c4it  of  a  certain  maid-servant  a 
spirit  of  divination,  whose  master  losing  a  considerable  gain  thereby, 
brings  Paul  and  Silas  before  tlie  magistrates :  these  cause  them  to  l)e 
whipi>ed  and  imprisoned;  but  at  midnight,  Paul  and  Silas  praying  end 
singing  psalms,  the  doors  of  the  prison  fly  open,  end  their  lx)nds  are 
loosed:  the  jailer,  ready  to  kill  himself,  is  converted  to  the  faith,-ai:d 
baptized  the  same  night  with  his  whole  family.  Next  day  the  mag- 
istrates come  themselves,  and  pray  them  to  depart  the  city. 

From  Philippi  Paul  takes  his  journey  through  Amphipolis  and  .\pnl- 
lonla,  and  comes  to  Thes.salonica,  wliere  he  finds  a  synagogue  of  the 
Jews ;  there  he  preached  three  sabbath-days ;  some  believe,  others 
persecute  him.  Leaving  Thessalonicahecomcs  toBerea,  and  soon  after 
arrives  at  Athens,  disputes  with  the  philosophers,  and  declares  unto 
them  that  UNKNOWN  GOD  whom  they  had  ijrnorantly  worshipped. 
He  converts  Dionysluslhe  Areopaglto,  and  thence  pas.«cth  to  Corinth. 

Paul  at  Corinth  meets  with  Aqnila  and  Priscilla,  not  long  before  ban- 
ished from  Rome  by  the  decree  of  Claudius.  -Here  he  continues  a  year 
and  six  months,  and  thence  writes  to  the  Thessaloriians. 

Paul  Is  accused  by  the  Jews,  and  brought  before  Gallio,  proconsul  of 
Achala,  whorefuseth  to  be  judge  in  a  controversy  about  religion,  and  so 
drives  them  away  from  the  judgment-seat. 

Paul  departs  from  Corinth,  and  passeth  to  Ephesus,  thence  he  sets  out 
towards  Jerusalem,  that  he  may  be  at  the  feast;  he  lands  at  Cesarea,  goes 
down  to  Antioch,  and  comes  into  the  regions  of  Galatia  and  Phrygia, 
confirming  the  disciples  In  all  those  places. 

Paul  returns  to  Ephesus,  disputes  daily  In  the  school  of  Tyrannus,  and 
continues  preaching  there,  and  the  fwirts  thereabout. 

He  writes  his  epistle  to  the  Galatians. 

At  Ephesus,  Demetrius  a  silversmith,  jealous  of  his  gain,  raiseth  a 
tumult  against  Paul,  which  is  appeased  by  the  town-clerk. 

About  this  time  a  schism  arisclh  in  the  church  at  Corinth,  which 
causeth  Paul  to  write  his  first  epistle  to  the  Corinthians. 

Paul  departs  from  Ephesus,  and  comes  into  Macedonia,  and  gathers 
a  contribution  for  the  relief  of  the  saints  at  Jerusalem, 

The  apostle,  having  learnt  from  Titus  the  success  of  his  first,  writes 
now  his  second  epistle  to  the  Corinthians.  Outof  Macedonia  he  goes  into 
Greece,  and  comes  to  Corinth,  where  he  writes  his  epistle  to  the  Romans. 

Paul  purposing  to  go  thence  into  Syria,  to  carry  the  collections  to 
Jerusalem,  the  Jews  lay  wait  for  him  ;  understanding  this,  he  returns 
into  Macedonia  the  same  way  he  came,  ahd  thence  passes  into  Asia. 

After  thedays  of  unleavened  bread  Paul  sails  from  rhilippl,  and  comes 
to  Troas :  there  he  restores  Eutychus  to  life.  Having  jiftssed  through 
several  cities  of  Greece,  he  arrives  at  Miletus ;  from  thence  he  sends  to 
call  the  elders  of  the  Church  of  Ephesus,  whom  he  earnestly  exhorts 
to  the  performance  of  their  duty. 

Paul  comes  to  Jerusalem,  Is  apprehended  In  the  temple, and  secured  in 
the  castle;  he  claimetb  the  privilege  of  a  Roman,  and  escapeth 
scourging. 

Paul  i)leadethhlscause  before  Ananlasthe  high  priest.  Thechief  cap- 
tain, understanding  that  above  forty  Jews  had  bound  themselve-s  nndti 
a  curse  neither  to  eat  nor  drink  till  they  have  killed  him,  sends  him  to 
Kellx  the  governor  of  the  province,  by  whom  he  Is  Imprisoned  at  Cesarea. 

Paul  is  accused  before  Felix  hy  Tertullus  Hie  orator ;  Felix  goes  out 
of  his  office,  and  to  gratify  the  Jews,  leaves  Paul  in  prison.  Portlus 
Festus  succeeds  him  in  the  government. 

The  Jews  come  to  Cesarea,  and  accuse  Paul  before  Festus.  He  an- 
swereth  for  himself,  and  appeals  unto  Cesar.  King  Agrippa  comes  to 
Cesarea,  and  Festus  opens  the  whole  matter  to  him. 

Paul  makes  his  defence  in  the  presence  of  Agrippa ;  who  thereby  Is 
almost  persuaded  to  be  a  Christian,  aud  the  whole  company  pronounce 
him  innocent. 

Paul  comes  to  Rome,  is  a  prisoner  at  large,  and  preacheth  there  2  years. 

Here  ends  the  llislonj  of  the  Acts  cf  tlie  Apostles,  urriUai  fry  St,  Luke^ 
St.  Paul's  beloved  companion  in  his  travels. 

St.  Paul  from  Rome  writes  his  epistles. 

To  the  Philippiaus. 

To  Philemon. 

'To  the  ColossiaiiS. 

To  the  Ephesians. 

About  the  latter  end  of  this  year  Paul  Issot  at  liberty;  and  a  little  bcfi  tp 
his  departure  out  of  Italy  into  Asia  he  writes  his  epistle  to  the  Hebrews. 

He  preaeheth  the  gospt'l  in  the  isleof  Crete,  ancl  leaves  Titus  there  to 
set  things  in  order,  and  ordain  elders  in  every  city. 

St.  Paul  writes  bis  epistle.s, 

To  Timothy  I. 

To  Titus. 

To  Timothy  II. 

About  this  time  the  epistles  of  St.  Peter,  St.  John,  and  St.  Judc  Seem 
to  be  written. 

St.  Peter  and  St.  Paul  are  said  to  have  suffered  martyrdom  at  Rome 
towards  the  latter  end  of  Nero's  reign. 

This  year  Jeru.salem  (according  to  Christ's  prophecy)  is  besieged, 
taken,  sacked,  and  burnt,  by  Titus,  1,100.000  of  the  Jews  perish,  97.000 
are  taken  prisoners;  besiiies  an  innumerable  company  that  In  othei 
places  of  Judea  kill  themselves,  or  perish  through  famine,  banisbmenl, 
oi  other  miseries. 

St.  John  is  banished  into  the  isle  of  Patmos  by  Domitian,  and  there 
receives  and  writes  his  Revelation. 

After.the  death  of  Domitian.  St.  John  returns  to  Ephesus  and  it  UlA 
request  of  the  Church  writes  bis  Gospel.
